PMS 2.0 1413 - OVERREACTION MONDAY, NFL Week 3 Recap, MNF Preview, Adam Schefter, Peter Schrager, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome on this glorious of Reaction Monday, September 22nd, 2025.

This program begins now.

It's matchable and obviously tonight we have a huge game to wrap up week three of the NFL season on Monday night football as the Lions and the Ravens will do battle in a game in which the over-under is way over 50.

53 and a half is the over-under.

They're expecting a lot of points.

Will Jared Goff and his Detroit Lions team continue to be a wagon offensively like they have shown whenever they had Ben Johnson as their offensive coordinator the past couple years?

Didn't show it, you know, the first week of this season.

Then second week, they were a juggernaut.

Will that continue against a Baltimore Ravens team that tricked one off week one, but has been nothing but electrifying with Lamar Jackson at quarterback?

He has the highest QBR in the history of the game.

Will that continue tonight against a Detroit Lions defense that woke up last week when Kelvin Shepard said, I don't want to hear any excuses.

I want everybody out there flying around.

We got a great one tonight.

A lot of characters, a lot of superstars, a lot of great ball wrapping up week three, which was a lot of blowouts to thrillers.

College ball was electrifying.

The toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt.

One half of the hammer.

Cowboys A.P.

Tone is here.

His Steelers stole one up there in New England from the New England Patriots who had five turnovers,

two on the goal line.

Seven seconds left in the first half.

Drake May throws a pick.

That should have been a touch in the end zone.

Then there was a fumble reach, fumble, bang, turnover.

That's 14 points that the New England Patriots just left literally on the board.

Then there were three other turnovers on top of that.

Feels like maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense is back, but on the Thunderdome stage here, the Pittsburgh Steelers get a massive win over the New England Patriots.

AP Tone, are you guys winning a Super Bowl?

I said it today.

The Super Bowl is back on in my hearts of hearts.

Yeah, and you could say the Patriots gave this one away, or they just don't care about the ball.

They don't care about the program, and the Steelers know what the program is, and it's the ball.

It's a rail coach team.

I mean, that's a good question.

I think we're all asking it right now, Pat.

It's ridiculous.

The ball is the program.

It's pretty simple.

Hold on to the damn ball, especially if you're getting paid to do it, Ramondre Stevens.

Well, and Ty, we just skipped over you.

Don't you even worry about the Green Bay Packers.

Go ahead and just

you can win this game, Cleveland Browns.

When nobody's talking about cleveland browns

not ass we should be talking about the cleveland browns today they are not ass no they're not the cleveland browns are not ass at all especially in cleveland that defense does things there that really maybe take the best team in ball the most full team in ball take them deep into the fourth quarter and just make them break at the very end tie how's it feel knowing the green bay packers uh do have a blemish the green bay packers may be not perfect and michael parsons says every once in a while shit happens.

We just got to move on.

Is that how all Packers fans are feeling?

Or are the Cleveland Browns maybe a lot better than anybody could talk about because it was all a shit show going into the season?

Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both.

Listen,

this might be the best defense of all time.

This Browns defense in 2025.

We'll see.

That being said,

you can't lose to the Browns.

You just can't do it.

I don't care who's out there.

I don't care how good their defense is.

The Packers sleptwalked through the game.

the entire game, and you're right, they did.

They just puked all over themselves.

They had a 10-point lead, you know, with three minutes left.

I mean, just defense was unbelievable again.

The offense, not good, a lot of injuries.

I choose to just kind of maybe laugh it off and say, hey, you know, we need to throw a little water on this.

Hey, this team's going to win the Super Bowl.

You know, they're young, but Jesus, that was just a pitiful way to spend a Sunday.

But we're going to be okay.

The Browns are much better than a lot of people are given.

Browns' defense at home: eight sacks, tied most in the NFL.

2.4 yards per rush against them.

First in the NFL.

3.4 yards per play.

Second in the NFL.

25 pressures.

Tied for third in the NFL.

Now, remember, Miles Garrett was paid a king's ransom for good reason on the defensive side.

Feels like they're holding up their end of the bargain.

Joe Flacco maybe didn't play his most perfect football.

He didn't play great.

Okay, but a winner.

Yeah, exactly.

They get a win over the Packers.

Let's go to nine-year NFL vet, host of everything DB, Good D, Bad D, and also the NFL matchup show, which you can watch 6 a.m.

on ESPN.

Ladies and gentlemen, Darius J.

Baller.

D-Buch.

D-Buck, we just hit a lot of things here for these teams because there's a lot happening in-house in the Thunderdome.

You and me might be alumni of a team that's the best in the NFL.

Will that be the number one story to kick off the first 15?

We shall see.

Put 15 on the clock, please.

Welcome to First 15.

And these are the things that we think you need to hear about.

Now, it might be.

be 15 minutes on the clock, but this is off of the first 15 plays that are kind of scripted in there.

So that clock is there, but it certainly has not worked in the past couple weeks as we have debuted this.

Let's dive right into the five big headlines that we seen from the weekend of ball for the NFL.

Number five, I bought some super dupers.

All over the place.

Now, not great for punters in a lot of situations.

Not great for kickers in a lot of situations, but everybody talks about the offense.

Hey, who is quarterback and lead them?

Defense, they got championship defense.

Nobody's talking about the third phase.

I think we try to bring it up, obviously, because I was a punter, so I have massive respect for the guys playing on special teams, which is back half of the roster.

That's a rotating bunch, too.

So the special teams coordinator is the only one that addresses the entire team, offense, defense.

And then obviously the guys that are just there for special teams, because at any moment, you could pull from in any play could win the game.

Any play could sway playoff hopes, Super Bowl dreams.

That's what special teams is.

Let's dive into some highlights.

Tori Horton from the Seahawks.

I'm sorry.

Jalen Lane from the Commanders.

90-yard return versus the Raiders.

Then Torrey Horton, Seahawks, 95-yard punt return.

They also happened to block a punt earlier in the day.

They blocked up.

Go ahead and give me that.

Seattle Seahawks not only return a punt, they also block a punt.

Should have scored that one, put another seven on, but they beat the living dog

out of the Saints.

Feels like a lot of people are doing that, but you got to be able to hold up in special teams down there.

You got to be able to hold up.

We used to call it the fourth down army.

We were in the Indy.

And that look, complimentary football, that third phase doesn't get talked about enough, but I mean, unbelievable.

You got to be an athlete there at Scoop and Scored, though.

Got to get seven.

Have to.

Okay, let's go to Cameron Dicker of the Chargers.

He's had the greatest start in NFL history, first hundred kicks.

Now he has one to win it.

Fourth quarter, five seconds left.

Game on the line against division rival.

And Cameron Dicker does what Cameron Dicker do.

Knocks it right down the middle.

Justin Herbert's a real deal.

Cameron Dicker might be the best kicker in the history of football, Debu.

He might be, and you knew as soon as they got him in field goal range.

Now, up until this point, we have seen some big-time blocks and big-time moments.

So that would have been the only thing that got in the way of Cameron Dicker, but he is Dicker the kicker, the best in the business.

Big time kick took 3-0 against three defensive opponents to start the season.

Unbelievable start.

That's a great way to start for the Chargers.

Let's go to the Bucs, Chase McLaughlin.

He has a 36-yarder to win it.

How did we get here?

You might ask.

Well, let's do some more special teams.

Earlier, two minutes left.

Will McDonald off the edge, block, and then what?

Scoop.

Then what?

Score.

Cut to Tyron Taylor in the middle of a play, Fox.

Why are we doing that?

Touchdown.

New York Jets, special teams.

Block a Chase McLaughlin kick right up over the center.

No leverage was used.

No call was made.

Game winning.

Blocked.

Kick.

Scoop.

Score.

Right.

We did it.

We did it.

We did it.

Yes, we did.

What a moment.

149 left in the game.

That might be too much for Baker Mayfield.

Yeah, right.

All Baker does is have comebacks.

Chase McLaughlin would then nail this 36-yarder.

29, 27.

The Bucks remain undefeated.

Unbelievable stuff from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Now let's go to

the 49ers.

They're starting Mac Jones as their quarterback.

They were in a dogfight with the Arizona Cardinals.

An absolute dogfight.

Eddie Pinero knocks one through, wins the game.

You know, Moody, who had been kicking for the Niners, lost his confidence and maybe the op wasn't great.

He had been missing a lot of kicks and extra points.

Pinero coming out, making that, saying, this is my shit.

Yeah.

This is my shit.

Huge for them going forward.

The Niners might be inevitable, by the way.

They've got a lot of people hurt.

A lot of people hurt.

They're still with you.

Christian McCaffrey, I got a stat from Hembo.

He's on pace to have the most touches in the history of ball.

True.

Like how much they're using him right now.

He's on pace to have more touches.

If he can stay healthy and the Niners can continue to do what they do, and Mac Jones doesn't turn the ball over.

Nope.

What's he doing?

I mean, look, Mac's going to do that sometimes.

You know how Mac is, but also, you know, that's just classic Mac Jones.

What he's referring to is Mac Jones, whenever he was asked about to turn over, basically said, I threw the ball right to the guy.

Way to go.

He's a professional athlete.

He caught the ball.

That's real.

That is actually

true story.

We appreciate Mac having personality in the boxing and also being undefeated.

Congratulations

to Matt Jones.

He might get paid $100 million.

Now let's go to that Packers-Browns game, shall we?

Two seconds left.

55-yarder for Andre Smith.

How did we get here, though?

Well, let's go back.

27 seconds left in the game.

Unbelievable, really?

To steal a win against the Browns.

Nope!

Blocked kick.

The Cleveland Browns special team.

Bunch of dogs in the dog pond.

Come around the edge.

Got to get a hand on him, Tac.

Got to get a body on him.

We got to get a better shove on the edge.

He comes around, gets a huge block.

They scoop it.

Only need a few more yards now for you to be in game-winning field goal range.

And they certainly did.

Andre Smith out of Syracuse, right

down

Broadway.

What a kick.

Flag was not on the kicking team.

And that's how the Cleveland Browns beat the Green Bay Packers.

Block kick into a long kick.

And that's called stealing that shit from the Green Bay Packers.

Ty, what a heartbreaker for you in the dog pond.

Yeah, absolute heartbreaker.

You just saw it there.

27 seconds.

The Browns have no timeouts.

They block a kick, and Flacco completes one pass.

They get down, spike it.

Apparently, they didn't think they'd have any time.

It is a cool story for this Andre Schmidt guy, though, because last week he did, or week one, he did not play well.

They were calling for his job.

I think he lost his mom.

And then for him to respond, you know, this way and absolutely dagger the Packers' playoff hopes.

You know, I mean, that's a lot of people are saying: hey, this team can't do anything.

You can't beat the Browns.

So we'll see.

We'll see.

Dagger the playoffs.

Okay, so you guys were saying we might win some games.

This would be fun.

But when we got to go on the road and win a big one, we lost the Cleveland.

I don't know if you're respecting Cleveland and Cleveland or not.

Those jerseys?

Yeah,

those jerseys are sick.

But how many road games you got to play a year?

Eight.

Same amount as homeless.

Less than half of them.

Yeah, exactly.

You're worried.

I mean, we'll see.

You know, I wasn't.

What if the Cleveland Browns are good?

The Browns D-line is going to be amazing.

I mean, we talked about the Giants, I think, their D-line for a while, and then all of a sudden you think, okay, never mind.

Mason Graham, Miles Garrett, and the kid from Ohio State they got.

Yeah, all three of them just were collapsing pockets yesterday.

And we can't talk about super duper special teams without bringing out a super duper play.

A man who's over 330 pounds who's clocked going fastest any man, 330 pounds has ever been clocked going.

Ladies and gentlemen, this man, Jordan Davis, should not be able to do what he did as easily and as smoothly as he did it.

Now, granted, obviously, you can fall over and win that game by one, no problem.

Instead, clean scoop, not easy.

Ball's oblong, obviously.

Right after he demoralizes a guard, snags a kick out of midair.

Clean scoop, give me that.

And let me just go ahead and beat everybody to the end.

So tight end right there realizes, I'm not going to be able to catch this guy at 330 pounds.

He was striding out earlier in the game.

It wasn't just Jordan.

It wasn't just Jordan.

Jalen Carter blocks a kick on this guy, too.

I mean, you're talking about Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis getting a block this early.

Obviously, that's going to make other teams think to themselves, like, okay, we're going to be stout against these guys.

But Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, now that they got one, it's almost like taking the lid off.

Like, okay, if we do drive just a strain a little bit, then we get our hands up.

We can actually block these kicks.

It's like a confidence builder, I think, for people.

And Jalen Hurts during Football Night in America came in during Maria Taylor and Jordan Davis's conversation and basically said, yeah, I saw you two Georgia boys out there.

It's like, this is what we got these guys for.

And they did just that.

I don't know how one guard is going to stop them.

Don't cheat it.

Genuinely, I have no idea how one guard is going to stop.

On the offensive side, everybody's talking about the tush push for the Philadelphia Eagles.

This is cheating.

This is cheating.

And they jumped off sides again.

Yeah, which it is.

And it didn't get cold.

This is cheating.

We are a supporter of the play.

It's a football play.

You got to do what you got to do.

You got to stop them.

They did jump off sides again.

It didn't get called.

But the tush push, you know, still involves pushing and shit like that for blocking of kicks they used to let linebackers like multiple linebackers go put their hands directly on the cheeks of these d tackles and they would push them and then they would be the ones that would be up there jumping they got rid of that because they said it was unsafe okay now on the offensive side they still got it going on but they got rid of it on defensive side now you got jalen carter and jordan davis that's basically similar to what it used to be with four people pushing i think they're going to use this as an advantage i think there's a real chance that because they get to this early, they get confident and they're only going to get more deep.

I mean, it's a lot of power, a lot of explosiveness right in the middle of that deep.

And they've been playing great on defense as well.

But when you get a guy that big, that tall, and I don't know if we all remember, he blew everybody away at the combine because of how big he was and how explosive he was.

I believe he ran like a 4-8 or somewhere around that at that weight.

So to see him scoop and score, we talked about the Seattle when it should have been a scoop and score.

To see him be an athlete like that, scoop and score and take that thing all the way to the crib for a walk-off.

I mean, a terrible beat for a lot of betters out there who have Rams plus three and a half, but a great way to finish the game for them Eagles.

Yeah, it was a terrible beat.

It was a great win, though.

Sirian was losing his shit out there.

Jalen hurts like this while watching Jordan Davis run down there.

Super casual, no facial expression.

Sirianni's watching it happen, looking for flags, taking his headset off.

And he said, We're meeting at the end zone.

He's running half fast.

I'm going to try to run about half of that.

Yeah, we got it.

Good.

There's a thought.

Get down.

Somebody's thinking, no, you know what?

Actually, Actually, go.

No, go.

Score.

Go.

Score.

Go.

Look for flags.

There's no flags.

Holy shit.

Holy.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, we did.

Yes.

And right behind there, the guy with the sunglasses, the mayor Randy Brown, who's the special teams coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens or special teams, whatever.

He's got a really big title.

He's been there for a long time.

That's his boy.

Okay.

Yeah, who's special teams for the Philadelphia Eagles?

They both won Super Bowl, obviously.

They've done a lot for special teams.

I respect that and appreciate that.

But boy, Jalen and Jordan getting that much confidence this early is not good for anybody.

Okay, that is not good for any kicker out there, but it is good special teams.

Number four, how about we must protect this house?

And they did.

12 and three

yesterday.

All the home teams.

Now, there were a few that went on the road.

There were obviously not a zero in that second column.

It's just three.

Why do you think this is happening?

Do you think we got a home field advantage?

Do you think it was just the matchups, Debu?

Maybe just the matchups.

I don't think...

uh home field advantage is that big of an issue at especially at this point in season but i don't know 12 and three D-but.

A division game champion.

I mean, it is some division game.

Let's see what do we got here.

What's the most surprising win here?

The Browns?

Browns.

The Panthers 30-0.

That was Supreme.

Huge.

Shout out.

Shout out.

Texans going on.

Who might be in Trump?

Michael Penix.

That was a bad, bad.

Good news.

Got $180 million in backup.

Say now.

Is that good news?

And he looked good.

Tony, homefield advantage normally counts, what, three, four points with the sports?

Yeah, it does.

And two debuts points.

53% of home teams won last year in 2024.

53% of the time, the home team won.

How come we didn't put up the teams that won on the row?

Because that's more impressive than the home teams.

Who was it?

It was the Chiefs, which they're a dynasty.

Oh, great win last night.

Yeah.

That was.

I was going to watch them be back.

Now, Andre and Travis Kelsey doing a little win.

I didn't seem like that.

They were not getting each other's grill.

Yeah, but they love ball.

They do.

They love ball.

Are they back?

Are they back?

Win by three scores.

Yeah, I think any NFL team, I think they're definitely back.

Certainly some moments where you go, they don't look like a good team right now, but win by a bunch.

That's what Chiefs are.

They go on the road.

And they're fine.

You expect them to win on the road.

You'd expect the best team in the NFL to win on the road.

That'd be the Indianapolis Colts right now, probably.

So they did that.

And then the other one you'd expect, you know, the six-time Super Bowl champs, the greatest franchise in NFL history to go on the way on the road.

And the Pittsburgh Steelers, they did that.

Yeah, you're right.

I guess only

the dynastic team

are able to win on the road right now in the NFL.

The Chiefs, the Steelers, and the Indianapolis Corps.

That's what we're talking about tonight.

Could that change?

We shall see.

That's number four.

Number three, Baker Baker, comeback maker, becomes the second guy since 1950, basically to lead

three fourth quarter comebacks for the first three games of the season.

Last week, Baker obviously came off Monday night.

He said, we don't take no shit.

Now,

he beats the Jets in the fourth quarter as well.

We saw the blocked kick.

The Jets definitely thought they were going to win that game.

What they didn't realize is is you gave this man way too much time.

Baker Mayfield, give me that.

Big time throws and big time moments.

Feels like the guy's cut of his jib is perfect for this situation.

And I'll tell you, football gods bless some teams with some teams of destiny type feel.

Three fourth quarter comebacks this early with the mentality that they have.

Debut.

I like what the Bucs are cooking this year.

Yeah, you always hear it in locker room.

Hey, 60 minutes, whatever it takes to get it done.

And now three games.

games in a row where Baker has played his best ball down the stretch to get, you know, get his team over that finish line.

And look, three weeks in a row, this is the first time they've been 3-0 since 2005, I believe, as a franchise, which is crazy.

And big day for Tampa Bay.

I believe they were celebrating 50 years.

So Coach BA will be here.

We saw Coach Groon, Derek Brooks, a bunch of legends out there.

Steve Spurrier, who was the first quarterback and franchise.

I had no clue about that.

Ibuka was a superstar again yesterday.

So a big, big day for the Tampa Bay Bucks.

And once again, they are believing.

The Bucs game-winning drives thus far against the Falcons, it was five plays, 63 yards, and a minute, 18.

Against the Texans, it was 11 plays, 80 yards in two minutes and four seconds.

And against the Jets, it was seven plays, 48 yards, and a minute, 49.

They go ahead and just drain that thing and just take it over.

Is Baker in their conversation now?

Where is he?

Too much time.

Yeah, too much time.

And by the way, backwards hat one time, next time looking cool.

Baker said, I don't care what I look like.

I'm letting you know we ball and we don't take no shit.

Respect to Baker.

Number two story of the weekend.

Backup quarterbacks back that thing up all over, folks.

Okay, Mac Jones, we talked about him.

How about Marcus Mariota?

He scores a touchdown.

We assumed that was going to happen.

Marcus Mariota football.

Congrats to them getting a big win.

And then Carson Wentz.

Oh, yeah.

And the Minnesota Likes.

We didn't see much of the Carson Wentz experience.

What we saw was the best of Carson Wentz.

And they demolished the Bengals.

I mean, the Bengals.

I'm not saying it.

No, you might.

You might have.

It's time.

We spent all our secrets.

All our sons.

We spent all our sentence talking about.

They paid wide receivers.

They paid a quarterback.

They spent 50% of their money on six positions.

I don't know if that's winning football.

There you get Joe Burrow.

I'm not saying it.

It's over.

Do you want us to say it?

No, no, keep going.

I'm not saying it's bullshit.

They can't block.

They can't tackle.

They can't punt.

They can't kick.

They can't cover.

The only thing they can do is hope Joe Burrow can bail him out.

And guess what?

Joe Burrow's big toe is around the neck of Eric Armstead because he ripped it off with two.

All right.

So I'm done with the whole Bangladesh thing.

Cincinnati, eat poop.

All right.

That's it.

That's Washington Conner saying that.

Your team sucks.

And guess what?

We're going to have to see Jake Browning in prime time.

And that's shite.

Okay.

There's a lot of stuff going on with the Bengals that's going to piss everybody off.

And I think that we can foresee it happening.

Okay.

Well, there was a lot of conversation about that in the offseason.

We said, can they win that way?

They were able to.

Now they don't.

Carson Wentz might have been a problem for anybody with Kevin O'Connell on the call, though.

Yeah, and he really only got to get through like the first couple pages of the playbook, you you know, because they were beating the hell out of him.

So they really did.

Kevin O'Connell didn't even get to unleash Carson Wentz.

So I think it makes sense.

Hey, let's unleash this guy in Ireland.

Let's introduce them to a brand of football and we'll get the entire country to maybe even flip.

I know they're a Steelers country.

Maybe they're going to be fans of the Vikings and Carson Wentz after next Sunday.

I assume McQuidd is getting a one-on-one with Carson Wentz out of the house.

And what Carson Wentz is going to tell McQuaid, don't put this out until, you know, at least kickoff or so.

We don't want the Steelers to hear about this, but they're going to unleash me.

They're going gonna unleash me next week for the Irish people to understand what a Shamrock could potentially look like out there as it's running on the field.

Yeah, exactly.

The Irish people are gonna see pale skin and red hair and be like, Okay, this is our

guy potentially tough and reckless.

They're gonna say, This is our guy.

We're talking about Ireland being a Steelers country, it's gonna stay that way.

But I think there's a chance that Carson Wentz becomes like the LeBron of Ireland.

Dude, think about the Irish people, too.

They would love

all.

What are we doing?

They're going to love that.

Carson do his...

Now, I know the Steelers have had representation over there.

Rooney has served as a diplomat of the Beliefs to Ireland.

And there's so many Irish people in Pittsburgh.

And I couldn't even fathom the amount of Irish Steelers fans.

So that's going to make for a great game.

But if they see Carson Wentz too much, they're not going to turn on.

Steelers fans are going to hope that he keeps that helmet on.

Yeah.

Because if he takes that thing off.

Time for a crack.

Who is that?

It's Seamus playing quarterback for the Vikings.

Is he from County court now where is he they're not gonna turn on their greatest ambassador of all time but I'll tell you this there it is ambassador on diplomatic thing uh Carson ain't giving that job back

that's certainly a conversation to be had another day we hope JJ gets healthy congrats to the Vikings and the number one story of the weekend you guessed it

Best team in ball is right here in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Danny Dimes, only guy to do everything that he's done and not have a turnover.

The Colts, the only team to ever do what they've done and not have a turnover.

The percentage of scoring drives higher than anybody that's ever played ball.

Only having one punt through three full games of NFL action is better than everybody that's ever done it before.

The defense is all over the place.

Brought in the right guys.

Lou Ann Arumo, deep coordinator, being one of the right guys being brought in, let alone Cam Bynum and Moni.

The energy on the defensive side, different than it's ever felt.

And on offense, Tyler Warren is the one.

And Danny Dimes is so fucking good.

I don't know if he he was always this good.

I don't know if the Giants ruined it because you see Saquon, he leaves.

He wins the Super Bowl.

Danny Dimes right now on pace to win an MVP after getting an opportunity that isn't in the New York Giants uniform or organization.

What he's doing is awesome.

Pittman's awesome.

The offense is awesome.

The offensive line is awesome.

Jonathan Taylor scored three touchdowns.

We like that.

We like that a lot.

Okay, let's get some tackles 244.

We like that a lot.

Let's go an up value of entire team here.

Tuning up the band as the boys were rolling down Broadway.

You see that?

That's Broadway down there in Nashville.

Oh, it is.

I've been down there.

Yeah, great play.

I would say Nashville, the city itself,

maybe favorite in the country.

Really?

Whoa.

It's top five without a doubt.

That's a hell of a state.

It's top five.

It's from Miami.

Without a body of water, it's.

Okay, yeah, without body of water.

Yeah.

Miami doesn't have body of water either, really.

Coral Gables, I didn't see that.

You get the one.

You flew over it.

Yeah, I could feel it.

Miami Coral Gables, beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful.

I wasn't wasn't in Miami, was in Coral Gables the entire time.

Absolutely glorious.

Actually, thought about buying a house tonight.

Was Zillowing

all weekend while I was down there?

Property's cheap down there.

Nashville, great time.

Yes.

Yeah, when it comes to strictly inside city limits, it is top three in city.

Yeah, I don't even know how to do the numbering system because I haven't been to every city and every city.

I've had a good time.

You've been to the major ones.

You're not put in one of those shitty ones.

Nashville is awesome.

So we hope that their team becomes good.

We hope they become great.

I don't know about

down there oh yeah i don't know

coach is gonna get fired in the next few weeks here i think it looks like it might be good for him he is yeah he's an angry man he's wild tight real sawed off prick yeah what's that what you said he saw it off a little bit does sound like he is that yeah yeah just just a little bit and it's not his fault that the cults are putting him in a living hell i i think pittman said is the smartest team i've ever been around but i mean has there ever been a greater start for new ownership i guess we can say commanders but they didn't even start 3-0 last year like when it comes to the big three yeah this is unbelievable i don't know if there's ever been when it comes to just same players for the most part same coaching staff well there's one pretty big difference

and i got a lot of heat from a lot of people that don't know ball on the internet last season there is one Pretty big difference.

And I'll tell you what, might be the greatest quarterback that's ever played in the NFL.

right.

Might be the best player

of all time.

So smart.

So I was talking to name drop.

Boom, coming.

Peter Berg.

Okay, he makes movies.

Peter Berg,

Giants fan, I think, in that area.

Knew Danny Dimes the entire time.

And whenever Danny Dimes got drafted, obviously all Giants people are like, who's it?

No, remember the reaction?

Oh, yeah, they went crazy.

So Peter Berg started doing research on this guy.

He's like, oh, my happiness is going to depend upon this guy, like bye, bye, bye.

Dad, I think Giants fan, the whole thing.

Like, he gets in there.

And then I guess people ought to do like this guy to throw the ball like 80 yards if if he has it.

Like he can run faster than literally everybody.

He's got a Duke brain.

So like from day one, Peter Brooks, like

run, throw far, super genius.

This

should be a guy.

And then in the Giants, it doesn't work out.

Then he goes to Minnesota and they're like, Minnesota's thinking about offering.

They really like what they're seeing, but nobody really knows what it's going to look like.

And then with Shane Steichen's offense, it feels like he is just fully in control, understands it entirely.

Shane has empowered him.

And we got weapons.

Yes.

We got guys for him.

It's like he's getting a chance, I think, to finally be the quarterback that he is.

But did he need to go through all the shit to get here?

Probably a question, I guess.

Yeah, it's probably.

And look, it takes time.

We talk about it all the time.

Like, it's hard to play in the National Football League and you need the people around you, not only people on the field, but the coaches from the top down, the ownership level.

You mentioned the big three.

But what that tweet from Conte is the biggest thing because the biggest issue with Daniel Jones throughout his career was turning the ball over, not only interceptions, but fumbling the ball.

So to go through three complete games without turning the ball over, only punting, you know, what, one time is crazy.

So him playing well on offense is huge.

Us, you know, starting it off, Kenny Moore with a pick six.

So going on the road in the vision arrival, they talked about kind of even with the intros, they were like, ah, these guys don't have the energy.

They're not ready to play today.

So when you kind of put that fork in them early and kind of suck the energy out of that building on the road, one of those games, I would assume the coach said, hey, we're going to have to bring our own juice, boys, down here in the music center.

And they did.

Kenny Moore did.

He left for the injury.

We signed Mike Hilton this week.

But a big start on both sides of the ball.

But Daniel Jones, he has been playing phenomenal.

Jonathan Taylor, you mentioned him earlier.

Like that long touchdown run, that's the type of shit that'd get the whole team on the sideline juicing going, man.

So

when you see your guy doing shit like this, you're like, okay, yeah, we're going.

So, I mean, it's all on the table right now.

3-0 played, you know, the combined record of the three opponents he played.

A little ugly, but you know, I like where we're at.

I like his celebration theory.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It It is great.

Don't love what he did, but he's starting to be a good football player and seemingly got a lot of years left, too.

A lot of years left.

Very fresh, very fast.

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who knows all the things that maybe we weren't able to cover there.

Senior NFL insider for ESPN, ladies and gentlemen, Adam Schafter.

Shafter, let's wrap it up here on the Colts.

Danny Dimes, is this what he was supposed to be?

Is this what he always was?

It was just a Giants

uniform and organization?

Or what is kind of what you're hearing about Danny Dimes on a renaissance type year?

Look, I remember I said this past offseason, when there were some teams that were going to be in the market for a quarterback, I was surprised at the level of people that had the level of interest that they did in Daniel Jones.

Now, not all the situations materialized, and the Colts were the team that made the most sense and pursued him the most aggressively.

But there were some very smart football people that really liked Daniel Jones, that had an interest in making a move on him, that didn't need to.

And so he winds up in Indianapolis.

And again, let's remember this, Pat.

I would have to look, but was it two years ago?

Two years ago, roughly, that the Giants signed him to a contract for about $40 million?

Three, three, three, three.

They made a playoffs.

Remember, Minnesota, the whole thing?

Yeah, yeah, no.

No, I remember.

Okay, so it was three years ago.

So three years ago, they gave him a contract befitting of a franchise quarterback.

And that was a year in which what he did was magic.

And in fact, it was so impressive that they opted to re-sign him over Saquon Barkley because they couldn't do both.

So they chose him for Saquon Barkley.

They don't need to do that.

Right?

Hey, we don't need you to be doing that right there.

Okay.

We don't need you to be doing that.

We're having a good time with Danny Diamonds right now.

Could have paid both.

Could have paid both.

There are places that have certainly made it possible in that type of situation, but we love him here in Indy.

Feels like he fits the town perfectly.

Not scared to go have a couple beers with the boys,

which we love.

Love it.

We respect.

Okay, let's move some other news out of the weekend that maybe people need to be caught up with.

Shefty, what did we miss maybe in there that's in your department?

I saw some Achilles, I think, some other injuries.

Obviously, that's going to happen with football.

What should we be paying attention to?

Well, we got a bunch of injuries going on right now.

Mike Evans looks like he has got a low-grade hamstring strain.

We'll see how long he's sidelined.

He's missed a few weeks last year with a hamstring injury, so I'm going to guess he misses a little bit of time here.

C.D.

Lamb, the thought is a high ankle, but he believes that he could try to play next week.

We'll see whether he could do that.

Colston Loveland had a hip injury, doesn't appear to be serious at all.

And obviously, the two big injuries of the day yesterday were at the running back position.

Najee Harris, you saw his Achilles on the replay pop.

Awful injury.

The Chargers confirmed after the game, it's an Achilles injury.

They were waiting to get the MRI for the official word, but I think everybody knows what's coming there with Najee Harris.

And of course, we have the situation with James Conner, the Cardinals running back, who now suffered an awful ankle injury that's going to end season and require surgery.

I don't even know exactly whether it was what it was, like whether it was an ankle dislocation, whether there was also ligament damage.

I just know I was told it was severe and it's going to end the season.

And that's an enormous blow for a guy who not only is a great running back, but also a leader on that team and incredibly popular in the locker room.

So it's a bad scene.

And

the crowd, when they replayed the play on the scoreboard yesterday, gasped when they saw his ankle bend.

They didn't even play the replay on TV.

And it was just one of those injuries you knew right away.

And of course, Nick Bose is about to get his MRI right now as we're talking for his knee injury.

We don't know the full extent of it.

He obviously was spotted walking off the field, gave a thumbs down sign to some fans in the stands.

Exactly.

Kyle Shanahan said he didn't think it was an ACL.

That was the initial test.

What that showed, it was intact initially, but they had to go send him out for further testing.

And sometimes things show up on a second test that didn't on a first, or sometimes it's not as bad or worse.

We'll see, but I know he's about to go into the MRI as I was coming on the air here.

Okay, so hopefully he's good.

Obviously, walking off means something, but doesn't.

He might just be a completely different species of human, especially if you look at him.

You think maybe life is a little different for his body than for ours.

You mentioned James Conner.

He had beaten cancer in the past.

I think he's an incredibly tough guy.

Obviously, we have nothing but love to send his way.

AQ Shipley, who's the color commentator for the Arizona Cardinals for their team broadcast, he sent me a text.

He's like, that's one of the nastiest things I've ever seen.

Because remember, they didn't show the replay on TV.

So as soon as that happens, and then we heard the audible gasp from the crowd, and then AQ sends, it's like, ugh, that's nasty.

Hopefully, obviously, we're at the point of science being able to take care of that.

You talked about Mike Evans with his injury.

Let's stay in Tampa.

Connor has a question for you.

Yeah, Shefty, similar to Jaden Daniels last week where he got hurt early and then no one really knew about it until it popped up midweek.

Is that a situation that's going to happen with Baker here?

We saw his right hand bother him during the game.

I forget if it got hit or stepped on or what, but that seemed to kind of affect him a little bit, even though he closed strong.

Is that something that could linger later on the week?

You know what?

You know what's interesting about that is on Monday night, when they were playing the texans one week ago there were a couple of plays that baker had where

i watched his leg bend at a certain angle me oh god i i like there was one play i'm like this guy got up from that he's gumby like that that's incredible and i was talking to the buccaneers the next day and they went over to baker after the game like you okay and he's like and and his choice of language to them was

to basically say uh with some profanity get out of my face basically Whoa, whoa, I don't know what he said, though.

You're a journalist.

You need to tell me what he said.

I mean, if we're going to do journalism here, let's make sure that we're going to be able to do

two words.

Two words.

The first starts with an F.

The second one starts with a Y.

So

that's what he said.

Get out of my face.

Fuck you.

Trench you.

Okay.

All right.

I like that.

Is that what he said, though?

Because until we know, what did it sound like, though?

What was the context of the delivery?

Because you're the journalist, obviously.

We just wanted to make sure.

The way I wasn't there, but the way I understood it to be, it was like, don't, don't bother.

Like, I'm fine.

Like, don't bother.

That's what Baker Mayfield said.

Don't bother.

I'm fine.

If it's an F and a Y, he could have been saying, like, hey, Froyo, post-game.

Oh, yeah, because maybe he wanted a little frozen yogurt to maybe make him feel better.

And he's trying to dye it, obviously, because he wants to look old.

He's getting a little older.

So he's not going for a full blizzard.

But he'll do the Froyo.

But he will take the Oreo

and put it on the Froyo.

Topic.

For sure.

Yeah.

Is that what he said?

That's good call.

Because FY, the first thing I thought was, oh, Frodio, Baker's so focused on his physique.

How's your knee?

Oh,

Frodio?

We don't know.

Oh, now I know.

Okay, now I know how he got the frozen yogurt.

Yeah, it was, yeah, it was a frozen yogurt conversation.

What do you think?

Oh, that's that's misinformation.

Wait.

Hey, that's, hey, people are getting some really harsh penalties for that shit.

You need to watch, especially.

Hey, right below you there.

Right below you on your left side.

You need to watch.

It was frozen yogurt, just to clarify.

Okay, he said froyo.

He said, are you okay?

He said, give me some frozen yogurt.

Exactly.

Okay.

Wow, that's crazy.

That's Baker Mayfield Football.

That's why we love him.

D-Bud has a question for you about that position.

Oh, by the way,

hold on.

It was not F-U, so it's not frozen yogurt.

It was F

off

with a smile.

Makes more sense.

So what would that be?

I don't think I've ever heard that really said.

It means like, I'm fine.

You don't have to ask me that question.

F-Off with a smile.

F-F-Off with a a smile.

Is that a competition?

That question.

That's a lot of different words there.

The way you're kind of reciting it versus what it actually was doesn't sound the same.

Yeah.

Directed on air, like in real time.

That's my, I will say this.

There are many things that I love about doing this program.

Many things.

Pat's brilliant.

He's never done the show at a speed-oh, which I think you should start doing that.

There's many things I love, but I love when I'm asked a question, and sometimes either there's a detail that's off or a question,

and the person is watching the show and they can text me the information actually in real time as it happens like it was f off with a smile that's how it came down well we're happy that people are watching that you can watch every game every sunday

wow

and and they they haven't met today like they haven't had the meetings yet but but they think baker's good so

great news okay good question if he says effing good we'll never hear about it from Schefter because he picks and chooses what words to journalize, you know, which I don't love.

But, hat, I do love frozen yogurt.

I do love frozen yogurt.

Oh, we know.

I know.

I told the game

to go to the FY as opposed to the FO.

Okay, yeah.

FO.

That much different.

Yeah, you don't want to go to the FO.

Every game, every Sunday, all in one place, YouTube TV.

Boom, shout out.

Quadbox.

Awesome.

Bang.

Are we still watching a red zone channel?

No.

Really?

Yeah, I couldn't do it.

Those 15 seconds i was like i actually did hear it yesterday uh it was late it was very late and there was something going on on the screen they put a wing stop one on and i heard about some delicious wings and i

and then it stopped and then it got back to it and i was like

okay okay

still doing it still doing red zone and once again we're telling the nfl we don't like that there's ads We knew they were coming.

I'm sick of it.

And don't destroy Red Zone with your greedy corporate bullshit.

Thank cats.

I would like to take a stand.

Okay, so Baker sounds like he's going to be effing good.

Thank you for that report.

D-Butt has a question for you on that position.

Yeah, Chef D.

Hopefully someone texts you and gives you an update on these guys.

The other quarterbacks that have been out, the starting quarterbacks, Brock Purdy, and then all the Jays, J.J.

McCarthy, Jaden Daniels, Justin Fields.

What's the update on those guys?

That was cool.

Boom.

Aaron Gloom is a little bit vague on Justin Fields today, so we'll see whether he's able to make it back.

He's got an extra day next week because the Jets play on Monday night against the Dolphins.

JJ McCarthy is not expected to play this week.

They play in Dublin against the Steelers.

And again, it's an international trip where they play the Steelers in Dublin, and then they go play the Browns in London.

They are the first team to go to two different countries.

The Jaguars have done this back-to-back weeks to play in two separate countries.

And I don't think JJ plays in either game because they then have a bye week the next week.

And then he can be rested and healthy and rejoin the lineup after that.

He is traveling with the team.

Obviously, he became a father last week for the first time, but he's going to travel with the team overseas.

He'll be with them the entire time.

I just don't expect him to play in those two particular games.

Marcus Mariota?

Justin Fields.

You know, Marcus, I would say this.

Marcus Mariota played well yesterday.

And I think the way he played gives the commanders time to not have to rush back Jaden Daniels.

Now, we'll see how Jaden Daniels is doing this week.

But when a quarterback plays like that,

I think it really allows that team to take its time and know that it's got a capable backup and a capable replacement.

And they haven't declared anything.

about what their quarterback plans are.

I don't think Dan Quinn will come out and say today, maybe he will.

Jaden is back this week and we're all ready.

Like, I think

this will be something that kind of goes on all week again.

And I think that they have the comfort knowing that Marcus played the way he did yesterday, throwing dimes downfield like that one.

Okay, Andy can run a scoring touchdown for Marcus Mariota when he's playing.

Let's just go ahead and lock that one in.

Feels like that is a guarantee.

Let's also lock in Mac Jones.

Who?

Mac Jones?

Who?

Mac Jones?

Who?

Back then, they didn't want him.

Now he's hot.

We all want him.

Mac Jones is the guy out there in San Fran.

How long and what does this mean going forward?

Well,

he played very well yesterday and led that team to that victory.

That's what he do.

Purdy is getting closer and closer.

And it wouldn't surprise me if Purdy's back this week, finally.

Initially,

that injury wasn't as bad as they thought.

He recovered a little quicker.

Still painful.

But the fact that he was back limited last week they ruled him out yesterday morning but i think purdy's gonna have a chance a real chance to go this week okay and then justin fields what's going on with him when's he gonna be back concussion protocol obviously is what it is

yeah again he's got the extra day built in so that's encouraging and again i think i think tyro taylor played pretty well yesterday and he's somebody that the team likes trusts respects If Fields clears, then he'll be the guy.

He's got an extra day to do it.

I don't think that they have the answer to that.

Aaron Glenn was pretty vague when he spoke about it earlier today.

Okay, pretty vague is not what a lot of NFL fans are on the internet when it comes to this guy.

Ty has a question for you.

Yeah, Shefty, was last night the kind of straw that broke the Campbells back in terms of Russ starting for the Giants.

We saw a couple times, you know, him basically just throwing it into the tunnel, throwing it off the uprights, throwing, you know, lobs up there, throwing picks, just looking like shit, pretty much.

And then after the game, Dable even said, you know, when asked about the fans booing the quarterback situation, he basically said, like, yeah, I mean, I would have booed too.

Why wouldn't you?

So, are they done with Russ, or are we going to do this whole same song and dance next week?

You know,

Brian Dable didn't want to answer the question after the press conference yesterday.

And I think once you answer it once, you kind of get into a habit of opening yourself up to this.

So I guess he didn't want to open up to speculation.

I think after that series,

there were some people that were disappointed.

The schedule is so brutal that there's not a great time to go to the young quarterback.

They play the Chargers at home this week.

Got the schedule right here.

I think that they play after that.

Here we go.

Chargers at home at New Orleans.

I mean, that might be good,

but I don't know if you want to strip the guy at on the road.

And then home for Senator.

Yes, you do.

Yes, that's Dean.

You definitely want to.

That is.

Hold on.

And then you got home for Philly.

That's not easy.

And then at Denver, at Philly, home for San Francisco.

It's a gauntlet.

It's got to look up tie.

Wait.

I mean, it's a terrible scatter.

I mean, that is a terrible run for sure.

That is a horrendous run.

That is not an easy decision.

Also, Dayball Shane, they got to be thinking about their jobs, or are they tied with Jackson Dart's future success?

How's that kind of work?

Because, you know, there is a conversation like these people are going crazy when Jackson jogs on the field.

And obviously, we've seen this before and it not work out, but we've seen it before, and it does work out.

He looks like he's built for the moment, and we're seeing what we're seeing.

Is there a chance that Dabo and Shane are thinking about their job or they think about the future?

What is the mindset over there in the decision-making process?

The process has been that they've wanted to stay as patient as they can with Russell.

Wilson is their starting quarterback with Jackson Dart on the bench.

That's been where they've been at.

Their own three, though, right now.

Yeah.

The fans are doing.

You know, at some point,

at some point, they're going to make the change.

Like it's coming.

We just don't know when they're going to break down and go to.

It's a tough quarterback.

The boys won it today, Shefty.

The boys are calling for Jackson Dart today.

Now, granted, one of the boys dealt with Russell last year where Russell had like a four or five games where he was on fire and then it went the other way.

And I would like to thank Russell Wilson for everything he's done for ball.

But if I'm 0-3, and I think this conversation might come up later about a couple other teams as well.

If I'm 0-3 with what the stats say, what the future looks like for our team, why would you not want to kind of see what you have?

I understand that is a tough schedule.

That certainly is not a good schedule for the Giants.

And if I'm Dayball, who's potentially on my last leg, I'm not happy that this is what schedule looks like going forward as we are 0-3.

But boy, at some point, we got to let the old miss boy, the old miss dog, try to run out there.

Didn't they get last place last year?

How did they get started?

The NFL schedule makers say, hey, Giants, that's cute.

I didn't like the way Daybo talked about us.

Let's go ahead and get him the hell out of here.

I mean, it is anything else to wrap this entire story up here?

Dabo and Shane,

are we good?

Jordan Renan just reported that Tyrone Tracy dislocated his shoulder last night.

Scataboo now starter.

Yep.

I would think we're going to see a little bit more of Cam Scataboo right now moving forward because Tracy will miss multiple weeks.

Look at Xavier Worthy.

He dislocated his shoulder the first week in the friendly fire incident with Travis Kelsey.

He's missed the next two games, and my understanding was that the injury was more severe than people realized.

And so

now Tyron Tracy's got a dislocated shoulder.

He's a running back.

You're using that shoulder quite a bit.

So, yeah, I think Cam Scadabu now will step into a larger role with Tracy out.

The world's going to enjoy Cam Scatabue.

Yeah, the only reason why I know that is because, boy, it was great to learn about him at Arizona State last year.

And he should have been known a long time ago.

We have this high school clip of him.

I posted this last night.

I don't know if you saw it.

Cam Scatabu in high school, untackleable, actually.

Look at this dude.

He sprolls an all-stop mixed together.

Oh, yeah, he's breaking a couple tackles.

This is good for high school.

Yeah, we've seen this before.

Okay, he's still going.

Still going.

It's got to be over there, right?

Got to be over there.

Nope.

He's on the other side of it.

Cameraman.

Cameron, he's the one scoring the touchdown.

Yeah, that's him.

Scataboo has like four plays from there.

He has a kickoff return, I think, where he has something like that from high school.

I have no idea how he ended up at Arizona State and kind of overlooked, but his head is the size of this desk.

Okay, and his grit and determination to win is beyond everybody's.

And he was overlooked.

It's like this dude is a weapon.

In his style of play, he's very much battering right.

Yeah, he wants to pawn people.

It's good for football if Scataboo continues.

He levitated for that one.

I mean, it was like a four-year, 12-foot levitation Cam Scataboo had.

And then we're going to hit a backflip.

Yep, no problem.

In full mid- four This dude's a real deal dude He and I'm happy he's at the Giants because that's a massive market to kind of get a hold of him But I wish he was on a team that was potentially gonna go on a real run because this dude is legit Shefty legit

First of all that run that he made in high school I hadn't seen that before That's one of the greatest runs I've ever seen from any running back ever like that That's as good as any run I've ever seen.

That's that's like in the Beastquake category.

That's like in Sanders territory.

Look at how many tackles he avoids just when you think he's down.

He's not He breaks loose again.

He absolutely has to be finished here, right?

They have him wrapped up, thrown down, right?

No, they don't.

He breaks free.

Again, Chris Berman would have a field day with that highlight.

That's all I could think as I'm watching that.

He would love that.

And Cam Scottaboo, to tie back to your initial question, I don't understand why the Giants didn't run him when they got down to the four-yard line last night on that series with Russell Wilson.

Russell Williams

playing the way he was.

Like, how about giving the ball to Cam Scataboo?

They want him to have it in the poll post.

Chris Berman going, woo, woo, Cam Scatterboo.

Would have been

every single week.

Scatter.

Yeah, I mean, it would have been a, hey, boom.

Come on, boom.

Yeah, come on, boom.

Come on, boom.

We need that.

Every week, we need Scatterboo watch with Chris Berman going forward.

Okay, let's talk about another decision that was made.

that everybody had questions about, but if it worked out, they would have been looked at as geniuses.

Down in Atlanta, kind of a quarterback conversation.

Go ahead, Tone.

Yeah, Shefty, we are all big fans of Michael Pennix here, but he looked like shite yesterday.

The whole team, the Falcons did not look good in general yesterday, losing on the road to the Panthers.

And then Kirk Cousins made an appearance in this game.

Was it just because the game was away and they wanted to keep Pennix healthy?

Or can we read into this situation?

What are your thoughts on this whole situation between Pennix and Kirk Cousins?

But it is to me.

Michael Pennix had a bad day, a terrible day.

They were giving him relief.

The game was over.

Take him out onto a new day.

And they were just giving Kirk Cousins some mop-up time right there.

It wasn't like they're bringing him to challenge Michael Penix or anything like that.

To me,

that was one of the more disappointing results of yesterday.

Green Bay losing to Cleveland.

You've got the Panthers beating the Atlanta Falcons.

See,

the week before, The Falcons on Sunday night were incredibly impressive against the Vikings in Minnesota.

It's hard to reconcile how a team could look that good one week and then play like that the next week.

That's that's odd to me.

That's football, baby.

That's football.

That's why the NFL has the parody that it has because you have no idea who's going to show up.

No idea.

And getting everybody to kind of row in the same direction whenever there's injuries and there's placements, that's like super duper special teams.

You got guys that are signing on to the team on Thursday that are impacting the game on Sunday.

It's like, that's why the NFL is the greatest and we're going to expect it forever.

Shout out to the Panthers putting it together.

Shout out to the Panthers putting it together.

Shout out to the Cleveland Browns being problematic.

Now, let's look to tonight's game.

High scoring affairs, what the sports books are saying.

Over-under 53.5.

Lions and Ravens.

Anything we need to know for tonight's game that we should be thinking about?

Yeah, a couple of things.

I think, first of all, it wouldn't surprise me if both teams made some roster moves this afternoon.

Marcus Davenport's dealing with a chest injury.

We'll see whether the Lions go ahead and put him on IR or whether he could avoid that.

We'll see whether the Ravens have to put Justin Matabike, their outstanding defensive tackle, on injured reserve.

He's got a neck injury.

It's

a little problematic, and it wouldn't surprise me if

just before 4 o'clock, we got noticed that Justin Matabique wound up on injured reserve, which would be a loss for that particular defense.

Aiden Hutchinson's kind of fighting his way back.

You'll notice guys are coming at him.

He's facing all kinds of things as he's playing defensive end, which has been interesting to watch some of the ways that teams have gone at him.

Interesting.

Van Noy's out right too, right, Chefty?

Yep.

What's that?

Van Noy.

He's out, yeah.

Can you bet on 500 rushing yards?

Because both D-lines sound like they're completely ravaged.

That's a good question.

Well,

I mean, Derrick Henry, last week, the Browns had nine men in the box, it seemed like, the entire game, and they were determined not to let...

Henry run.

And the Ravens had

making plays of different sorts.

But Derrick Henry last week was a non-factor with them playing the lawn like that.

I don't think that'll happen again tonight.

All right, Shefty, we appreciate you're on TV all night, we assume.

Yeah, we're going to be doing Sports Center, NFL Live, Monday night countdown, in the middle of having some FY, hopefully.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, well, don't FO, brother.

You got a big time day, ladies and gentlemen.

Senior NFL insider for ESBNN.

I'm Scheckter.

We appreciate it, Shefty.

All the intel, all the inside notes.

Feels like there's a lot of injuries tonight.

It's week three.

Yeah, yeah.

So this is football.

It's tough.

We got starting quarterbacks, backup quarterbacks.

We got D-lines missing.

We got a lot of stuff going on.

Special teams going crazy.

I mean, this is a wild start to an NFL season.

Now, Deba, what are the couple things maybe we didn't hit as much as we should there in the first 15?

Oh, we covered a lot, but you know what?

I would say with the champs.

We start with the defending champs.

Champs, still the champs.

I know a lot of people started to write them off early on in offensive struggles, but then the Rams came out of the gate 26 to 7, I believe.

They were leading.

And can we throw up that passing chart from Jalen Hurst?

I just haven't seen it much on the internet after week three, but it's almost like, you know, when he needs to, he can.

He threw the ball down the field when he needed two.

Second half, they came back 21-32, 2-26, three touchdowns, no interception.

This is 17 games in a row now, including the playoffs, where he started and finished the games, and they have won.

And it was a conversation between him and his offensive coordinator, a little spirited on the sideline.

He spoke a little candidly about that after the game.

We can get to that later, but a great job by the Eagles.

Actually, you know what?

Let's get to it now.

Jalen, what a comeback.

A lot of memorable moments in this ball game.

What are you going to take away from a victory like today?

Man.

Regardless, it's always good to get a win.

It's always good to get a win.

And if that doesn't show you what type of team we are, I don't know what does.

Now, we completely did that to ourselves in the first half.

Completely.

We absolutely completely did that to ourselves.

And that's something we gotta

fix.

It's as simple as that.

It's unacceptable.

It's like you guys said, later for this, whatever happened in that first half, forget about it.

Let's go and show who we are.

We play so many styles of football.

We're in that first half.

We got to get out of this player not to lose.

We got to come out aggressive and play our game.

You saw our game in the second half.

What about Big Boy with the block

and chugging down the field?

I knew he was going to block it.

I knew he was going to block it.

I just knew he was going to block it.

Yeah, we cut it right there.

This is a great effort.

So, yeah, him and the Petulo guy, the new OC.

Okay, so everybody's calling for his job last week to win every action.

Monday is the new offense coordinator.

Yeah.

Second half, that offense looked vastly different than the first half.

There was one throw to A.J.

Brown that kind of sprung everything down the right side as I was watching that.

It felt as if, you remember A.Q.

Shipley last year, he was like, I like the Eagles' offensive line.

They got the best offensive line in football.

Saquon Barkley is the best running back, maybe in the history of football.

I don't know if Jalen Hurts is the guy.

And we attacked AQ immediately for that.

It's like, what are you talking about?

Like, this guy is the guy.

But I think there was a lot of people that had that narrative.

Felt like the offense coordinator for the Eagles maybe had that narrative for the first couple of weeks.

And then once he opened it up and allowed him to start throwing in the second half, guess who else that helped?

Saquon Barkley.

That helped the run and everything.

As Saquon wasn't really working, it's like now hopefully Petulo and Jalen are kind of on the same page.

I don't know if they were trying to roll it out, but it felt like he wasn't as confident in like, hey, we got a lot of money out there.

We got a lot of money out there.

We got a lot of money right here.

We got a tight end with a lot of money.

Lane Johnson getting hurt.

Not great.

No.

They're going to have to figure that out.

Big piece missing.

But it was nice to see him open it up again.

Yeah, it was nice to see him doing it, turn it on when he needed to, just like he did in the Super Bowl.

And then a former Eagle, now a Viking, Isaiah Rodgers, had an unbelievable game against the Bengals.

Started off with a pick six right here.

We always talk about tips and overthrows.

Made him pay for the overthrow.

Took it back to the crib.

Unbelievable with the ball in his hands.

Does some special, special things.

and now unbelievable punching the ball out of other guys.

And had two force fumbles.

This was his first one that he also picked up and took to the crib.

I saw on the internet, I don't know how true it is, but a 99.9 Rainier score with PFF, which everybody and anybody who watched his game could see he pretty much pitched the perfect game for a defensive player.

First Viking ever to score two touchdowns in a game.

Hey, Isaiah Rogers' story is a good one, too.

Absolutely.

Happy for him, man.

Way to bounce back, way to be a baller.

Congrats on having a phenomenal game against the bengals as they beat the hell out of the team from cincinnati it's a glorious overreaction monday uh we can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living i was in a speedo on saturday we'll talk about that in the next hour i assume at some point

speedo wasn't wasn't

Football is great.

We can't wait to continue to chit-chat about it.

The college football weekend was spectacular.

One half of the hammer, die.

Cowboys AP Tone will give us a breakdown of that here in a matter of moments.

The Toxic Table's here at Boston Connor.

Loser.

At Ty Schmidt, loser.

Yeah.

Tough day.

Toxic Table.

Now, let's go to nine-year NFL event.

Host of Everything DB.

Good D

and then Bad D.

Winner, ladies and gentlemen.

Dave Stapel.

All your teams.

Well, all but one.

Oh, they're never going to win again, though.

Yeah, all but one.

Chargers, Eagles, my Colts, all undefeated, but you know.

Can the Panthers even win for you?

Yeah, Dolphins.

Got your Chucky.

Chucky was up picking for you.

Magic Chuck looked awesome.

As always, pays the research.

I was talking about the Carolina Panthers, but I understand that you were saying also the Florida Panthers.

Here Browns.

All the Panthers.

Okay, to hell with that.

I like that.

I'm not the Ravens tonight, though.

No, that's not my squad.

Tough look for you.

Day Hopkins.

We do have it.

No, never mind.

I can't.

I'm a dolphin forever.

I'm locked in.

Oh, you're about to ship that man.

I'm going to hear blood out.

I thought relegation, but I can't do it.

Oh, relegation?

Relegation.

One of your teams died.

Exactly.

You know, you got different benefits when you live this life.

Well, I appreciate the way you have tried to promote others to live your life too.

Darius J.

Butler has five teams he's pulling for at any point.

Dennis let's add colleges.

We got you.

We got UConn.

Only two.

Okay, so six teams.

He's got six teams any given weekend to be pulling for.

And the stupid, you know, Mercedes One,

whatever bullshit.

Yeah, Rude Van, Oscar, Disteroy, Oscar, Zastri.

Yeah, we remember.

Michael Petrie.

So he's got.

He's so disrespectful.

He's talking about G1, dude.

You got 10 different.

Are those guys all on different teams or the same team?

Yeah, Landon Norris.

Yeah, they're different.

These guys are making like $50, $60 million dollars these are icons absolute dogs if we don't get it

and we never will back to the point back to the point darius has 10 to 11 different things that can win on any given weekend that'll bring him joy yeah so what he has been trying to do is to tell others hey you need to pick up some more teams you need to pick up some more things so that you're not just boom a boom boom because a team that you've never met a group of men that you have no idea who they are behind closed doors is controlling your happiness.

Now, a lot of people say, D-Buck, that's disgusting.

You're a part of the problem.

I get it.

D-Buck comes back and says, what?

I want to enjoy sports.

So there's a valid argument on both sides.

Let's go to one half of the hammer.

Cowboys at Bubba Gumpino.

He is a Miami Dolphins fan.

He shares that with you, you two, very diehard Dolphins fans.

But if you see the jersey he's wearing now, he thought he was going to get that last week.

It came four days late, which we all appreciate and respect in the jersey ordering game nowadays.

He has just picked up the Dolphins and just kind of, of hunted.

Okay, see ya.

Shout out to the U being back.

Miami Hurricanes feel all the way back.

Hey, that university was electric down there.

Yeah, I was supposed to have this jersey for that trip.

Shout out, Fanatics.

Appreciate it.

What happened?

Yeah, the U is all the way back.

They're electric to watch.

This Bain guy up front on defense, every play is an absolute menace.

And then Gators came back a little bit.

Carson Beck didn't have his best game, but then they just got back to pounding the rock and just shoved it down the Gators' throat to win that game.

Amazing, amazing university, I would say.

And that president, Joey from the Bronx,

this guy's got access to a lot of money, knows how to operate a lot of money, and also is a very good leader.

That entire place, brand new, seemingly, and only getting newer.

You know, now, the stadium is an interesting conversation because how far away it is.

And I assume in Miami, it's not going to be easy to find real estate where you can potentially put that big of a thing.

But everything that Miami has going on feels very aligned with their sports being good.

Like very, very much so.

So if you're a Miami Hurricanes fan who happens to be a Miami Dolphins fan and you're not like Darius Butler and picked up five other teams because you are a Dolphins fan over the last 30 years, just know that the Hurricanes feel like something that's sustainable for like the next foreseeable future.

That's how you feel after leaving there, right, Gumpy?

Yeah, especially after talking to Cristobal.

I mean, he is the man.

Saban said it.

He's the perfect guy for that team.

He is unbelievable.

Great guy.

Cristobal Cam.

This guy Cam, he's a, I don't know what his job is.

I have no idea what he's like.

Legend.

Absolute legend.

He's a weapon.

President, this Cam guy, he was the, I don't know if he's the SID, media guy, P.R.

guy.

He's one finest.

Benny hat.

Yeah, he's got a stone guy.

What do you need?

You need a suit.

You need to look like you're from Miami.

I got you, dude.

No problem.

Bang it, the bang, it's a bang.

How about that?

Fucking unreal.

Like his energy, this guy Cam, immaculate.

But I don't think he's the only one there.

I think everybody there, the president loves Miami.

Crystal Ball, he's a boy, loved the hurricanes.

Loves Miami.

This Cam guy, assume, echoes the sentiment sentiment a lot, love Miami.

Like, they're all very proud.

That's why when I was standing up there, 32.9 feet up in the sky, or as the Europeans and I guess Olympics say, 10-meter board.

I say it's very evident that these students love this universe.

They do.

They love being there.

And now with the alumni being able to give money and support the school, if you love the school, let alone Dana White getting there.

you know, down there now with more money being attracted.

Tax-free.

I mean, even that when it comes to NIL.

State income tax, obviously a huge deal, especially for these players that are getting paid a lot of money, which they Tarson Beck allegedly is.

And everything about the president, his whole entire life, business is money.

That's what he was in.

What they are doing, everybody else should be doing.

That's the big thing right there,

Joey from the Bronx.

Like, as long as he's running the show and he can get them, because look, college is, college football, it always has been big business, but it's big business now more than ever.

So if Joey's moving shit around, you talked about alumni base and them showing up and giving money, all that shit is dope.

But if Joey can move around and make sure we continue getting these players,

boy.

I'm telling you,

I think it only just begun.

Like, I think this has only just begun in the last couple of years.

It felt like it lost its luster and its connection.

And now they're like very much focused on the you being the you again.

And like pulling on that from all this.

Dwayne Johnson gave him what?

Like a set.

I don't know if it was this president or the previous one, but Dwayne Johnson donated whatever, $100 million for a new like everybody that is down.

I think Miami's in a good space, especially the ACC right now.

But it's Clemson, you know, Florida State's real year to year.

Can't wait for that guy.

Got it.

Two weeks.

Miami, Florida State.

Two weeks.

Bye week, then up.

Yeah.

Just got announced at 7.30 Saturday night.

And Georgia Tech right now with Hanks King.

Will they be able to supplement that going forward?

We don't know, but we know this year they're going to be good.

It's like Miami feels like it's a sustained operation right now.

I should feel very good about them.

Yeah, like Miami and Penn State.

If you just look at those two schools, they're going to be the blueprint.

Oregon, you can throw in in there too.

I mean, I wonder USC is probably throwing a bunch of money around.

It feels like that is now the blueprint.

Anyone who's not operating as if, hey, this is now a money business.

It is basically just a business.

We don't have to treat this as if we did before where it's the education and, you know, football.

It is now.

Oh, by the way, Miami Education.

Top tier.

Top private institution.

Penn State.

Very good.

Top tier.

And that's only going to help those schools.

You wonder if the better education is going to lead to those schools being better because they do have more money from alumni.

But if every school isn't doing that, if you're in the SEC or Big Ten or anything and you don't have some sort of money guy in your building, whether it's an AD, whether...

Say with real sweat.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Whether an AD president, you know, a vice president, something like that, like you will be left behind.

And if you're one of those boosters, you better make sure your school knows that too.

Go ahead, Ty.

Well, I was just going to say, like,

for them not being relevant, at least to the point like when we were growing up that they were, where you could, you know, basically set your watch to like, hey, this team might win a national championship.

That's the game aside, like watching game day on Saturday, I was like, this campus is unbelievable.

It is so nice.

The weather is perfect.

Like, so if you can get the football kind of starting to go in the right direction, it's like, why wouldn't you want to come here?

Yeah, legit.

And you think that as you're walking around that campus a lot, it's like, oh, I don't know what I would have became with all this and how nice this is.

Like, I don't know if I would have been able to maintain focus.

But if I was just choosing a school to go to, it's like, like, why would you not come to a resort down here?

Not that Penn State isn't awesome, but if you went on a visit to Penn State in October and then went to Miami the following weekend, like which way you think you're going to leave?

Well, then people would say, well, the college atmosphere at Penn State is better than it is in Miami.

It's like, I think they have house parties and shit down there.

They have an entire, they have an entire off-campus.

And let me tell you.

Beautiful.

It's a nice house.

You got scooters and skateboards everywhere.

It was, it was.

Oh, yeah.

It felt like they're really living down there.

Did you see people blading or just I i didn't see any blades i didn't i didn't leave campus really though so i didn't see any blades a lot of these scooters a lot of the scoots a lot of scooters because traffic's so bad in miami i guess so there's a lot of

lines and stuff uh no people like owner oh scooters yeah yeah those are big number dez showed up on his own scooter

handlers in the area nice scooter at that 15 20 i think especially with that being rabbit yeah yeah joining us now ladies and gentlemen is a uh well i guess down in miami you would put it in cheetah mode but for how long yeah what's that and are you getting pulled over?

Yeah,

yeah.

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a router cup winner, ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawk.

Yeah, great girl!

Great to see you, Hawker.

Hey, we just talked about a lot about down there in Miami, and

I know that you saw me adjust myself

with a camera very close on me.

And I will say, if I didn't do that, AJ, whole show, literally, whole thing, that thing was riding.

That thing was riding

real rot.

Real right there.

Was the, do we have any idea?

Do you did you give a heads up to all the great people behind the scenes that are filming this?

Hey, possibly like blur it out, maybe?

Maybe give you a blur.

But if you do the blur, you have to do like a fake blur all the way down to your ankle.

Bigger blur.

Yeah, you need to blur the whole thing.

No, this all came together relatively quickly.

I think we should, everybody should kind of understand that.

Friday night, Des hosted an incredible gathering for everybody.

Got a chance to see his house.

So sick.

He has a hat right in the middle of his living room.

His house is like a museum.

Paintings everywhere, like very beautiful.

It is, Des' house, one of the nicest houses I've ever seen.

Like it is incredible.

Right in the middle has a hat with a

box around it.

And then it says the greatest catch I've ever made.

And it's Desmond Howard.

And obviously, the question of what is this?

Oh, it's Michael Jackson's hat.

He threw it my sophomore year of college.

I went to a concert.

Wow.

Threw it out into the crowd.

Des, I guess, Of course.

Snagged that.

And then he held on to it.

It is.

That's pretty sick.

Yeah,

it was very sick.

But as we were doing it, chefs, obviously, they made some Jamaican food.

It was, I'm telling you, it was great.

It was, it was, I would say, the perfect event for whatever it was supposed to be.

You know, like everybody get crew coming, audio coming, makeup, like every, and it was called like a flow through.

So nobody felt obligated.

Like it was just very well done, I would say.

One of the camera people that had been there for a long time, blanking on his name, 100% on me.

He's on a jib away from us.

He's not on the set.

He is somewhere else.

He's been there a long time, though.

He basically brings up to me like, you going off that high dive or whatever?

And I'm like, I don't know.

Is it like, how close is it to the set?

They're like, right.

It's literally right next to the set.

And I was like, could you get it on camera?

He goes, oh, yeah, we got a lot of cameras that could get over there.

And then he even says, like, we'll never get an opportunity to do that again.

So like, this thing is right next to that.

Just want to let you know, camera guy, just want to let you know, we'll never have this opportunity again.

We can certainly get it on camera.

It was like, okay, we should think about doing that.

So then I talked to Red, Matt's his name, at game day that night.

I'm like, hey, is anybody going off?

What's going on here?

What's the situation?

Then he said Jess was going off there.

And I was like, sick.

Okay, I won't do it then.

I don't want to do it if Jess is doing it.

And then I think Jess came up with the idea.

I was like, well, last week he kind of challenged me.

I'll challenge him to do it if he'll do it.

I'm like, perfect.

Let's do that.

So then whenever I see Jess up there, I'm thinking to myself, would be kind of cool if Jess just doesn't do this right now.

Okay.

Then if I was to do it later, Jess didn't do the field ball thing, Jess didn't do the top thing, but instead Jess, just like a G, cuts a promo up there, puts that thing down, walks right off, wasn't even

a second thought, walks right off of that thing, nails it.

Yeah, send it.

Picture perfect in that entire thing.

I'm like, damn, like Jess really, I don't, what do I do that is even close to winning there?

So then there was a speedo conversation that sort of happened.

Sure.

A speedo conversation that was brewing, you know, a little bit before the show, I asked this Cam gentleman, I said, hey,

what do the divers wear when they go off there?

They wear a speedo, right?

Yeah.

I was like, can I get a speedo from the diving team?

Because then when I drop that shit, it'll say Miami.

You know, so then it's like, easy, this is who I'm picking,

Miami.

So Cam tells me immediately,

I'm looking at you.

Okay.

I don't know if we got any divers.

I don't know if we got any divers.

I'm like, no, they're like big.

Well, get the swim team.

He goes, we only have a women's swim team.

And I don't know.

Which is wild.

I don't know if we, they're very good, I guess.

But I don't know if we have, if the divers are going to have that.

He makes a couple calls, obviously, two phones.

This guy, Cam, always on, I think, always loves the hurricanes.

He goes, the biggest we got is size 30 waist.

I'm like, that's eighth grade for me.

Actually, eighth grade for me.

He goes, I told you you're going to be small.

I don't know.

So then Matt Garrett Red during the show.

goes, hey, we can certainly find a speedo somewhere if that is still an option.

And I just, yeah, sure, talk back.

Yeah, let's go ahead and check that.

So then all of a sudden, about 45 minutes later, I get a, and we have three different options of speedos.

They're all black, though, so it won't really help with the debut.

But if you want to wear it, cool.

Brings it up.

I think it was 34, maybe

30, 34, 30, like somewhere in that range.

Closer.

I'm a 37.

I'm stuck in between 36 and 38.

That's kind of where I dance.

38, you've seen me on TV with them.

It looks a little bit ridiculous.

There's a little bit of thing.

36, a little tight in the area.

Look a little bit ridiculous.

So with my fat ass, it's kind of how it is.

So 34, we get that thing.

I look at it.

I'm like, oh, I don't know.

I don't know what it's being supposed to be.

This is not like that.

I don't know what they're supposed to be.

So I got to go in a Port-a-John.

Okay, right behind the...

Like during a commercial break?

Yeah, right before the last hour.

I go into a Port-a-John.

It is 190 degrees.

Okay.

I am in a poop crock pot window.

Okay.

And I got my pants are all drenched because I'm sweating the entire day.

So I had to peel these things off of me during the commercial break, peel these things off of me, put them on top of the toilet paper little fucking chair.

Because there isn't like a, there's not a shelf in these Portagons.

So then I put this thing on.

Boy, real tight.

Hold on, did you leave underwear in her?

What's that?

Did you leave your underwear that you were wearing in the Portagon?

No, put them back on.

Oh, you did open it?

I put the, because they were stuck in my pants.

You had to get everything over.

They were stuck in my pants.

I had the speedos packed already.

Was it the other guy?

What do you mean?

No, they went bottom.

They went both.

Oh, it went ball off.

They put that Dixon bottom.

It was the biggest one.

The other guy probably did have some.

Yeah, but then I put that thing on.

It was really uncomfortable.

Last hour, you probably see me fidgety a little bit.

I was so tired because I'd sweat so much at that point.

Those fans that stood out there with us the entire time, absolute legends and icons.

But then, yeah, as I'm running up there, I'm feeling that thing, you know, kind of not feel comfortable, but it's a speedo.

I don't know what it's supposed to feel like.

This isn't my normal thing.

And then when I unbutton my jeans at the top of that thing, I look down and because it's white pants, I could see it.

Oh, there's my dick right there.

Oh, shit.

That's exactly.

That is exactly what I did.

So now I'm like, oh, no, what do I do here?

Because this thing is literally just shoved right over here.

So I try to adjust myself, and you guys saw it.

I found a brick center.

I think

Paul Falls.

Paul South.

Paul South.

Everybody was having a good time with that.

That was almost all of me.

All of me.

Almost saw all of you.

That Sebastian.

Yeah.

Great mascot.

Was he talking or no?

No, no talking at all.

Exactly, no, a lot of mocks.

It came in afterwards.

I'm shirtless in the production room because I wasn't missed me ripping my shirt.

David Allen, shout out to you, bro.

You did make that a little bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be with those buttons.

Kind of rip that thing.

Shout out to Cam getting me the sport coat and the pants the night before, obviously, so I could go real Miami Vicey.

Yeah, it was a good time, man.

It was fun, but yeah, my balls were almost completely out there.

I mean, and obviously,

yeah, the whole thing.

They hated poor.

it was a lot further of a fall than i thought it was gonna be sure

yeah how was it right there was it like was it when you got up there was okay this is a little taller than i thought this would feel uh didn't look down really looked at students a lot looked out when i was doing the whole

then they spell out c a n e s can't but the sebastian move is a lot of that didn't look down uh kind of had a little bit of a worrisome when i put the microphone down sure and i like almost look down you look down your your eyes are connected to your brain there's almost a natural reaction of like what are we even thinking about doing?

So for me, I got to just go.

So I didn't even look down.

But midway through, I certainly thought to myself,

wow, this is further than I thought it was going to be.

I'm still falling right now.

I'm happy and tough.

Yeah, no bruises.

They told me if I cannonballed, there was a chance I would have blew my

butthole.

Is that right?

Yeah, because that thing would be

supposed.

That would suck.

Especially if I'm sitting that thing down.

Was thinking about doing the backflip, I guess, because because Mark Richt head coach formerly did backflips off that thing to wow up there rowdy up the student section or whatever thought about doing that because I have done that off top turnbuckle and things like that But then if you ever rotate there That's catastrophe.

Yeah, oh break every bone in your face.

That's certainly catastrophe and right there I didn't have a mic on I said coach Corso this pencil is for you Okay, and the reason why I did a pencil is because first of all I thought it was sweet to honor Coach Corso like that but also the thought of just dying up there was much less

with the pencil.

So it was a good move.

That's how it all came together, AJ.

And what a day.

Then I get to my phone like 20 minutes later, you know, because I'm drenched, my phone and my shit's everywhere.

And I'm like, man, I wonder how many people think I'm the worst human on earth for doing that.

You know, like, I was like, look at this guy.

I thought there was going to be a lot of pretty positive reaction.

Yeah.

And I'm very, very thankful for that.

And then as the bus is heading to the FBO, the airport to get back to Indy for WrestlePalooza, I got a call from Coach Corso.

and it's like Coach Corso,

he and I certainly got along friendly, very much so.

Would ask him questions, would help.

I think good relationship is how it would be described.

But I've only known him here the last couple years.

You know, I haven't known him for 30 years, like everybody else, 20 years for everybody else.

So him calling me unprompted out of nowhere was awesome.

And right behind me there is our last show rundown of picks that we had at Ohio State.

And I asked him to sign it with his Tycoon Condoroga pencil whenever he was done.

And he says, now your turn, Pat.

Like literally to me, it's like a pretty cool moment.

And that call from him, I got emotional.

It was a, it was a crazy day.

And then Russell Palooza was happening in Indianapolis with WWE and ASBN coming together.

And it's like, man, there's a lot of insane shit happening.

I'm incredibly grateful and thankful.

And also pumped my balls didn't show.

And

I think that's a big deal.

You know what I mean, AJ?

Yeah, that's what they were very worried that you would spread your legs and that's when you're, you know, know it would just what water would go up through your butt through your mouth and you would just explode or what?

Yeah.

I mean maybe I didn't even think

that's how it works.

I don't know because the one thing is connected to the

otter thing connected to the otter thing.

Isn't there like a thing in there that's like 10 miles or something?

Yeah, yeah.

Your stomach would just explode if it went through your butthole.

Probably more so than just come out your mouth.

No, it'd be like what they did on Jackass where they was just get all the stuff out of you.

They're talking bruised feet.

Oh, yeah.

If I was to do that, I mean all these things things were being talked about.

Like, hey, this is this.

I watched a military, I think it was the Marines, Urah.

I think it was them jumping out of coppers like what you do with your shit.

So I just tried to tried to mimic that.

And, yeah, body feels good.

So that was your first time jumping off something there, huh?

No, so we jumped off pier in Pittsburgh.

It was down on, what was that road?

Shannon Barking.

Yeah, barking road.

It was into a river, but it was always night.

They would say different.

So that's 20 feet.

Oh, it's 40 feet.

You have no idea.

It's black.

And then all you would hope is it's a river, so you don't hit anything pretty real.

Obviously, jumped off the steel cage at NXT.

I've jumped off things before, out of a plane, you know, I've done that.

But it's always just can't

look.

Can't look.

Just got to go.

Like the pier couldn't see shit.

It's black into a river.

It's like this hindsight.

That's wild.

Pretty terrible decision.

You're also not a huge like swimming water guy.

You know, so it's like, that's, you know, I mean, I assume you went right down to the bottom.

Touched the bottom, bench.

Yeah.

I thought my ears were going to expand.

Yeah, I imagine.

As I was going down, I'm like, way too low right now.

Way too low.

Kept going, kept going.

Touched bottom.

Also, Speedo, right back to where it was, but this time cheeks, too.

Yep.

Oh, yeah.

And you were gassed.

I mean, you ran so far and climbed up like three flights there.

Thank you.

I got a text from Whitey, West Virginia legend, host of the Old Grad podcast.

He said, you just literally did a fireman work like a firefighter.

You just did the firefighter super challenge.

You sprinted, then you did the talking the whole time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm very thankful I got to do it.

Shout out to Miami.

That was a lot of fun.

I'm happy we made it.

Go ahead.

Now we just...

Yep, exactly.

You know, one-off high dive.

You all saw it?

Yeah.

Do I have to do it again?

Did it?

No way.

I already did it.

We're going to do an Olympic thing someday.

They'll have that high dive.

And I'll be like, that was so much fun when I got to do it.

Don't want to copy it.

You've already done it.

Oh, it's not going to be.

Tan lines.

Everybody needs to relax.

I fell asleep in Puerto Rico.

What are you going to do?

Oh, they look good.

I fell asleep in Puerto Rico.

You know, that's...

That's all right.

That was day one I got down there.

Yeah.

You should have seen what that felt like day two down there.

Up here.

It is crazy that I guess like my whole body could be that tan if I just fell asleep in Puerto Rico for three to four hours.

Yeah, there you go.

Because I had those shorts on, you know, had sunglasses on with a hat up here.

A towel over my body.

Just kind of passed out, maybe on some vitamins.

And I'll tell you, you saw where I didn't cover myself.

Yeah.

Still there.

That's, what, a month and a half ago?

Yeah.

Two months ago?

Jeez.

I don't want to think about the worries of that.

Say, some plays no games.

Yeah, yeah.

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen.

We made him wait through that entire thing.

We apologize.

He will be on the Monday night football coverage, I do believe, this evening.

He's an ESPN pundit.

He's an Emmy Award winner, ladies and gentlemen.

Peter Schrieker.

Yes,

oh, where are you at?

What the hell?

I'm in Baltimore.

I'm in Baltimore, my friend.

This is the Baltimore skyline behind me.

I found this on Google Images.

I like that.

Good play.

Pay homage to the Baltimore folks.

Have you been down to Jimmy's famous seafood?

I don't think it's in this shot, but it should be.

It is not.

Jimmy has been very good to me and my family in the past.

We get some packages some time to time whenever you talk positively about the Ravens, but we have not been there yet.

I love Jimmy's seafood, but I also love being in Baltimore.

I just took a walk around the inner harbor this morning.

Fresh air, beautiful.

We got a great one tonight, dude.

Okay, so you say you talk positive about Baltimore.

Jimmy's famous.

We'll take care of you.

Tonight, are you talking positive about the Baltimore Ravens?

How do you feel about this evening's game?

Yeah, this evening's game is a really good one.

It's a great one that we have in week three on Monday night, but really it's between two teams that silenced a lot of people after week one.

And I look at this one.

To me, if you're Lamar Jackson,

one of the best Monday night football quarterbacks of all time.

He's never thrown an interception on Monday night football.

He's 7-2.

He's got this great record.

He's also 24-2 against the NFC.

Nothing is going to be accomplished tonight by beating the Detroit Lions in week three.

It's not like you're going to look at your resume and say, well, he didn't do this.

He didn't do this.

He didn't do this.

But he beat the Lions in week three of the 2025 season.

That said, when you're looking at what the Bills are doing up there in the AFC East and you're looking to hold serve and you know how important home field is in these playoffs, I think this game does matter in the big picture.

And I also think that they're looking to make a statement on national TV after giving up that loss and the way the defense played against Buffalo in week one.

Got it, AJ.

Shregs, what about this Detroit Lions team?

I believe you came on this program and said you think there's a chance that they do not make the playoffs this year, if I'm not mistaken.

What do you think is on the line for them tonight and how do you think they're going to look?

Yeah, I went from being like Mr.

Lions, everyone loving me in Detroit because I was on this ride, until now being public enemy number one.

The truth of the matter was, I thought the NFC was loaded at the top, and I wasn't sure how this team would respond to the loss of Ben Johnson and obviously Aaron Glenn.

Well, week one, I'm not saying I look like a genius, but there were serious questions.

Week two, they shut me up and they shut a lot of pundits up, and that offense looked awesome, and it looked like the Ben Johnson offense.

That said, if they go out there tonight and they don't do that, and now we're one and two, you're in a bit of a hole.

What they got in their favor, though, was that the Browns silenced the Packers last night.

And of course, we know that the Vikings have a tough trip to Dublin, and they're going to have to go up against the Steelers.

Like, this might be one of those years where it's an 18-week season and it's going to come down to the final week.

I didn't have the Lions in the playoffs at the start of the season.

If they play like they did last week against Chicago, I'll look like an idiot come January.

Absolutely.

A lot of us will for a lot of the things we say throughout the entirety of an NFL season.

Last year, it came down to the last week, obviously, between the Vikings and the Lions to decide who was number one in the nfc or who was going to get fifth place in the nfc which almost changed a rule because of how great that nfc north is excited to see what lions team we have tonight you talked about the packers losing to the browns this browns defense may be generational in this entire thing whenever it's said and done what they're able to do at home plus what they're able to do to everybody this packers team was hottest team in the nfl we thought maybe packers might go on and win it all because of who they were at the beginning of the season Michael was the perfect little kickstart to an entire operation to greatness, and then they go and have to deal with this.

How do you feel about the Browns?

And what do you think the Browns look like for the rest of the year?

Well, here's the other part of it.

Packers didn't play since Thursday.

So the Packers had like 10 days to prepare.

They're riding high.

There's talk of undefeated season.

And then they commit 14 penalties.

14 penalties looked absolutely out of sorts.

And that's a credit to this Cleveland defense.

I mean, if you watch the Browns, it's basically if the offense doesn't screw things up, they're going to be in every game.

Last week, the offense screwed things up.

There were turnovers galore, and then the Ravens were able to capitalize late, and that score got out of control.

But if you look at weeks one and three, like this Browns defense, what they did to Joe Burrow in week one, I mean, Joe Burrow, they had seven yards in the second half of week one.

And then to see this offense that was lighting it up the first two weeks just go completely silent.

And Mason Graham, like rookie all over the place.

And then on offense, Judkins gets in the game, 94 yards.

If the Browns don't screw it up on offense, they're going to be in every single game this season, and they're going to be a pain in the ass to play because that defense is so good.

Nightmare for the AFC North is the Cleveland Browns.

Just late in the season.

Who do you have to get through?

Oh, the Browns.

Are they going to make playoffs?

Nah.

All right.

Steelers should win that one.

Steelers fans are like, excuse me.

Do you know who they paid $40 million a year to on defensive side of that ball?

He is a game record.

He will take shit over whenever he wants, and let alone them blocking a kick late in special teams and then going on to hit another kick.

It's like, is there a couple different phases that are elite for the Cleveland Browns right now?

And then are they going to be able to figure out how to make that offense?

Is it the future time or is Joey Flacco just going to be the guy that rides the Browns to the playoffs for another year?

Now, let's talk about a team that maybe had a little bit of success, a little bit of an upside, also a big-time contract to a head coach.

Go ahead, D.Butch.

Yeah, talk about the future of Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams.

They look good against the Dallas Cowboys.

Now, what's your thoughts on that?

Is it more of the Cowboys just absolutely stinking on defense?

Oh, or maybe it's Caleb Williams possibly turning the corner here with Ben Johnson?

I think it's a combination of both.

I think the Cowboys are horrendous on defense right now, and they have to figure their stuff out.

But let's not take anything away from Caleb and from Ben Johnson.

Look, that team bought in on Ben Johnson's entire summer of dewiring them and then rewiring them into what he wanted them to be.

In the first two weeks, it didn't look like that was going to be anything, and yet they stayed committed to it, and it all came to fruition yesterday.

I love the fact that you saw DJ Moore in the backfield three or four times.

I love the fact that they ran that weird-looking flea flicker.

I love the fact that they gave up zero sacks.

That means that this team stuck with themselves and they didn't come unraveled after that week two loss to Detroit.

It was so personal with Ben Johnson going back to Detroit.

I think we underestimated how much the Lions wanted to beat him and how much that Lions team was hearing the noise after that week one loss to the Packers.

To come out week three with Brady and Burkhart on the call, national audience, and to be the ones to actually light it up and do it with the way that the Lions played last year.

I mean, Caleb looked great yesterday.

Great.

And there was some signs of greatness in those first two weeks.

You have to feel energized as a Bears fan.

At least this thing is not hopeless and they're going to be on the right track.

They committed to Ben Johnson's offense and it proved to be working just fine once they got things going.

Yeah, the Dallas Cowboys, obviously there's a different conversation happening for them.

And that's rude because maybe the Chicago Bears team did find it and they're actually a good team.

Caleb Williams had his best day on on the field in the locker room.

He almost messed up the first ever win for the head coach thing.

Almost missed him with the throw and called it the wrong type.

Home win.

Yeah, I mean, it was just, it was a whole thing, but hey, didn't know he was focused on a game.

That's right.

Wasn't focused on celebrations with Ben Johnson.

Also like the fact that Ben Johnson's thing is good, better, best, never let it rest till your good is better and your better is best.

Because I've been actually saying that my entire life.

Really?

Yes.

Is that like a high school thing?

I never heard that.

And he rattled that thing off.

And I was like, ooh, I like that.

I'm going to write that down.

But you knew that one.

Yeah, I guess I would assume somebody said that one time around me.

And I was like, yup, bars.

Who said that?

Yeah, I don't know who said it.

And I think I've always just said it because it's just, you know, it's a lot.

But then if you listen to it, it's like, oh, that's a pretty good little saying.

And I love that Ben Johnson is just taking that to the entire team.

I like that any coach is kind of using that as their rally cry.

And if they nail it in there, let's go.

Hell yeah.

Look, he's an absolute maniac.

And you know what?

I may have been a minority.

I like Caleb's post-game.

Hey, man, he was hype.

He was excited.

First home win.

Don't give him an easy pass.

Oh, you're right.

Maybe he was hot point.

He was impersonating the flea flicker that the tossback.

Oh, yeah, and we remember from last year.

Yeah.

He's a big hip-hip hooray guy.

So, you know, you got to let him kind of grow with the celebration.

First victory at all.

And, you know, a good little touch there.

I appreciate it.

It looked like they got along, too, which I think is a big conversation.

You know, Caleb and Ben getting along, showing respect, I think, is good.

Maybe the Bears are on the up and up.

Congrats, Ben.

Congrats, Ben.

Let's talk about maybe on Don Don.

Go ahead, Tone.

Yep, the Bears looked really, really good against Cowboys.

You know who else looked really, really good against Cowboys?

Russell Wilson.

And then he looked like shit in weeks one and three.

So

when are we and your New York Giants going to Jackson Dark Strikes?

Because this was not it last night.

I mean, there was many interceptions.

There was balls into the 18th row.

There was balls into the locker room.

How do you feel about your Giants in the quarterback position?

You know, the interesting thing is the offensive line actually played pretty well yesterday.

So this was the, you know, the big excuse was, well, the offensive line sucks.

Anybody behind that offensive line is going to struggle.

Offensive line, they did their job.

I know Andrew Thomas only played about 25 snaps, but he and Marcus Meebo kept that defensive line from Russ.

It was unfortunate that they couldn't score there in the red zone at the end.

And those four passes were what they were.

There's never going to be a good time.

to put Jackson Dart in.

You and Adam Schefter, you guys went over the schedule in the first hour of this show.

There's not going to be an opportune time where, hey, this makes sense.

This is the moment.

This is the window.

What I took away from last night's broadcast, and we talked so much last week about the value of a production meeting.

Well, Chris Collinsworth was absolutely glowing about how the Giants are talking about Jackson Dart behind the scenes, that they go into the facility and he's like, oh,

the way they're talking about this Dart.

You know, so they obviously know internally that Dart is trending upwards.

The question is, when do you want to throw him into the mix?

I look at that schedule.

There's not going to be a great time.

So this is going to be Brian Dable and it's going to be his decision.

I think Russ has played fine.

I think obviously if you look at what happened last night, they didn't get the plays they needed in the red zone, but they were moving the ball up and down the field and Scatterboo looked like he can play.

The truth of the matter is they're going to have to put Dart in at some point if they continue to lose just to salvage this fan base.

And that's not a knock on Russ.

The fan base wants to see him.

And if you listen to Collinsworth last night, they're absolutely giddy in that building over what they're seeing from Jackson Dart in practice.

So at this point, you're 0-3.

I know it's not ideal ideal to play the Chargers next week in that defense, which is unbelievable, but it might never be ideal.

And in the NFL, there's a lot of good defenses.

So let's roll the dice.

Well, you go down to New Orleans too, maybe with a game of experience and maybe be able to pick up one that you might be able to win down in the south, too.

Let that heat hit you a little bit like you're Jackson Dart.

Crowd, you talk about salvaging the fan base.

Booze for us.

Cheers for Jackson.

I mean, that is just like,

the fans are almost like, well, what do we even draft the guy for?

You know, and this isn't the first time this has happened.

This has certainly been on uh multiple occasions where the fans go hey we're done with this guy we would like to see this guy this is what we did will deball and shane say all right let's go with it i'm excited the guy's iced out every week

they put him in a few times pat and it's basically like jackson darts in then he lowers his shoulder and gets absolutely crushed by a defensive lineman you're like no no no that's that's not what we that's let's let's let him throw the ball you were happy he's on yes but not we like that but i don't i don't need him as a battering ram with his head down like running into a 350-pound guy.

I would also add, the Giants are the only team in football that has a kicker be, you know, hurt in pregame two years in a row.

And this thing was crazy.

Crazy.

And this happened last year against Washington.

So you get Art Stapleton tweeting that, hey, wait, in pregame warm-ups, Graham Gnow's hurt.

They're going to have to go to Jamie Gillen again, and the Scottish Hammer is going to have to kick.

And then it's blocked right away.

And that kick would have been blocked.

Yeah, it's awesome.

This is like Bad News Bears stuff when it happens year after year after year.

And that's that's what the Giants fans are booing about.

Like when we've got a league where there's guys kicking 64-yard field goals in their sleep, the Giants can't even have

a kicker dressed.

It's understandable to be frustrated on national TV when that's the case.

I think that's what Dave said.

And if you watched Bruce Brown's Twitter account last night, I was riding alongside the Giants.

Remember, I picked Bruce Brown and the points with the Giants.

You know, why not here?

I just watched what they did with the Cowboys.

I was walking.

They're 0-2, but, you know,

they can kind of go go another way, which everybody spins it in their fan base.

Bruce tweeted immediately, Mark could be able to win this game without kicker.

No chance.

What are we doing?

No chance.

Over before it starts.

Over during the defensive introductions.

Unbelievable.

I don't know what happened to Grammy.

He was able to kick in the second half.

He was up and hits it to the 25-yarder, and he's wailing in pain.

And it's like, what is going on right now?

We hope he's okay, though.

Obviously, Shraig's.

Yeah, we do.

Yeah, you do, Shraig's.

You hope he's okay.

And we.

Great kicker.

You hope he's okay.

Yeah, you hope he gets healthy.

And Shraig's, obviously, his first feeling was, man, I hope he gets healthy

for everything he's done for the Giants.

When we stunk, Graham Gunneau is really the only good player we had

for a while.

But it'd be nice if this fucking guy could make it to a game.

I didn't say that.

Yes, you did.

Yes, you did.

All right.

On the other side, go ahead, Con.

Yeah, Shraigs, the Chiefs, not really a great showing for them either.

Obviously, they won the game, get their first one of the year.

But we were talking earlier about that schedule you mentioned.

I'm now blanking on it.

That has the murderers row, the Giants.

And the Chiefs also do not have an easy schedule coming up.

They go Ravens, Jags, Lions, Raiders, Commanders.

Bunch of tough games.

That's about

three and five, maybe four and four.

And in there, you know, Rashi Rice gets back.

Are we relying on Rashi Rice as people who have to watch the Chiefs to make them look good because it's looked awful?

And what's going on with Kelsey?

Why is this connection that him and Mahomes have not going well?

And then, of course, him and Andy Reid just kind of getting into it, not as big of a deal because they've done this before.

But why doesn't it look good for Kansas City whatsoever?

Yeah, they don't have the weapons right now.

I think that's fair to say.

I mean, Spaggs' defense showed up last night and, you know, they did their job.

But gosh, you're watching these long 15-play, 16-play drives, settling for field goals.

That's not the Chiefs we grew to know and really to appreciate as a team that's in primetime every single night.

Now, this is a squad that gets back to very important people and Rashi Rice and Xavier Worthy.

And you'd like to think, you know, Taekwondo making those two catches and having the third that was ruled and incomplete, but it was an absolutely incredible attempt.

They now have three options and Hollywood Brown, and you don't have to rely on Kelsey and Noah Gray so much underneath.

But the offense isn't what it was.

And I think the Chiefs would tell you that.

It's not ideal.

I think what's interesting is they let DeAndre Hopkins walk.

It's interesting because I think we knew they were going to have issues.

They got Hopkins last year.

He loved being a Chief.

They go the distance and they didn't sign him back.

He's now in Baltimore making incredible plays, looking like the Hall of Famer that he might be.

So I would say just hang tight, hold serve.

And when you get Worthy and Rice back, let's judge the offense there.

I mean, this is their best wide receiver.

They lost to suspension a week before the season, and then they're 1A.

He goes down three plays into the NFL season.

So hang tight there.

I don't think a lot of teams would be able to look as good as they usually would without their top two receiving options on the field.

What an incredible, incredible play here by Patrick Mahomes after a horrendous play.

That was the second time he'd thrown it backwards, but go ahead and making a tackle and stripping the ball at the same time on Karika.

It was a hell of a play there by Patrick Mahomes.

But I think the reason why we all wonder if they're going to be okay, because it doesn't look good.

Like last year, it didn't look good for a long time.

They were winning.

Now it's like, are they still winning?

Are they still going to be able to win like that?

And then bringing back their two weapons, I hope that's the case case because I think the Chiefs is still the Chiefs.

Until I see that the Chiefs isn't the Chiefs, watching them last night, though, I thought to myself a lot of different times, doesn't feel like the Chiefs are still the Chiefs.

But I believe.

Do you?

I believe.

You picked the stinky Giants.

Governor, we're doing spreads.

Don't be an amateur.

Yeah.

What is this?

Bush League?

Yeah, what is it?

They would have covered with the kicker debut.

Don't you forget about that.

Yeah, because Graham Ganneau hurts his groin quad hip.

Good point.

Yes, good point.

Fair point.

Russ straight off 450, I guess.

Russ threw the ball off the uprights.

I'm 450.

Fourth down.

Fourth quarter.

Wow.

Last hope.

That's a guy's going down swinging.

That's your first stealth throw?

Yes.

Part of the first 40.

The first delt throw into the tunnel was.

That's 20, probably from everybody that's playing on Friday right there.

That's 20 from everybody that's playing.

Normally you're throwing from the 20.

You did it from the 15 just as good.

I think that's a no-doubter that that hit the crossbar.

Because every once in a while, there is a little bit of a decision.

Because did it hit the back part?

That's kind of going there.

Did it hit the upright or did it hit the crossbar?

Feels like that one did hit the underside and kind of skip under there.

And remember, you're throwing that to the crossbar.

Remember, there's nobody going there, but that is where you're throwing it to.

Fourth and go.

I'm sick of this Giants gimmick.

What?

I'm done with it.

It sucks.

We've been watching Poopy Giants primetime football for what it feels like 10 years.

It stinks.

It should be the team and the Jets, I guess.

They should play at one o'clock only.

I get it.

They have these massive markets.

On Saturdays.

Yeah, on Saturdays.

Boom.

And there's money involved and all that stuff.

The Jets and Giants should not be allowed to play primetime football for the rest of time until something good happens for them.

CW.

Oh, yeah, throw them in the C-W.

I love that idea.

The teams of the CW, the big apple.

Oh, my God.

And they would get big numbers because everybody in New York would watch.

Big numbers.

And then the rest of us have no idea where that is.

Yeah, and then those teams can just slowly drift away.

And you know what what we do?

We put them both on boats and then they go to London.

They become the London teams and we reach out.

On CW, yeah.

And the NFL can tell CW, congrats, you're the international team's home base here in the United States of America.

CW is pulling New Jersey, New York, tri-state area in there.

They're doing big numbers.

And us.

We don't have to watch.

And guess what?

It becomes the team of New York, baby.

The real team of New York.

Goodell.

That buffalo.

Goodell, get on it.

Okay, last question.

We know you have to go go to work.

We apologize, Shrek.

I like this.

Shrakes, early on, the Colts have kind of been the talk of the NFL.

Hey, this might be the best team in the league.

They're going to win the Super Bowl.

After yesterday, I think it's maybe safe to say the Texans may stink.

It just is what it is, unfortunately.

They may stink their 0-3.

The Jags, on the other hand, I think we're still kind of curious about what they can do.

Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence, are these guys right for each other?

Do they like each other?

Do they get along?

Can he get Trevor to the next step?

Early on here with them at 2-1, do you think that the Jags could potentially go on a little run at the end of the year?

And then on the flip side, do the Vikings, or I mean, do the Texans stink?

Well, I would say neither C.J.

Stroud nor Trevor Lawrence would have signed up for their first three weeks the way they have gone.

Neither one has played well.

The Brian Thomas-Trevor Lawrence connection doesn't look to be like it was last year.

And Travis Hunter is barely making an impact on either side of the ball because some weeks he's playing corner and and a little bit of a receiver.

Some weeks he's playing receiver and a little bit of a corner.

Hasn't really looked like the value of a number two overall pick yet.

And that said, they've got two wins.

The locker room scenes have been electric afterwards.

Shad Khan

has basically proclaimed love to Liam Cohen after two different wins.

And they're going for it.

Like we're doing it.

So you look at the standing, that's it.

Houston made a very interesting change.

over the offseason.

Now, we know trading Laramie Tunzel was a head scratcher for those who are like, well, this team is a squad that went to the divisional round two years in a row.

Why would you trade your best lineman?

But to get rid of Bobby Sloick, who in hindsight now was with C.J.

Stroud as a rookie, as his offensive coordinator, was with Stroud as a second-year player, got him to the divisional round.

That is a team that's like, we're one step away.

We need to pull the ripcord out and we're going to go and we're going to hire someone else.

Now, Nick Caley is really respected around the league and is a very, very like high,

I guess you'd say, highly valued resource to a lot of people who have worked with him.

I'm not knocking him yet.

I'm just saying this connection hasn't looked good.

Nick Chubb is suddenly the number one back.

And obviously you're wondering, well, Nick Chubb hasn't been that guy in two years, coming off major injuries.

Can he do it?

And Nico Collins played great, but where else are we getting offense from on this team?

So I would have serious concerns if I am the Houston Texans that the offense has just looked so inept through three weeks when last year they were knocking on the doorstep a couple times the last two seasons being in the final four of the AFC.

Yeah, they're saying he's CJ Strouch.

What?

Yeah.

CH at the end instead of D.

Geez.

Like Grouch.

Yeah.

They're saying CJ Strove.

No.

That's what they're saying.

I saw Strover.

They're saying CJ Strover.

Oh, it's only his third year.

I think that's bullshit.

Well, I think that's why I saw Michael Kidd Gilchrist.

I saw a lot of NBA memes.

One year good player.

Hey, CJ.

That's not fair.

Come on, CJ.

Still in there.

Jamal Murray's.

Jamal Murray's treatment.

Good player.

Oh, no.

You know the lookalikes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

The guy with the braids and CJ jersey that needs to stop right now.

Okay.

Right now.

That's not him.

People are saying he's basically turned into a 45-year-old

sack of shite.

Imposter.

Did you see the Bieber imposter over there in Vegas?

Yes.

That was all people should have figured that one out.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think I was pretty good.

I do.

I think we do know okay so let's say you're with us okay let's say we're doing a boy's trip to vegas shreigs is there wheel and dylan yeah we're having a good time this thing pops up on the stage 2 a.m you don't think we're thinking oh

it's

three yeah

immediately i don't think anybody was questioning i like my peaches out in georgia yeah

yes you do that is exactly what we're doing

nobody said anything from the new album That's crazy.

Yeah, exactly.

I like that Daisies.

Okay, yeah, me too.

Yeah.

That song's really good.

What's it sound like?

What's it sound like?

You sing it?

Shreks.

I'm not going to go there.

Come on, dude.

So you're kind of feeling it a little bit.

Not another word.

Yeah, well, you don't know the words.

Okay, see, that's the problem.

We all need to start learning the new stuff.

Support Beams through all of his different stages.

Ain't that right, Foxy?

TikTok likes the new album.

I know that for sure.

The only thing that matters.

Yes.

Hey, Beams, keep doing it, dude.

Baby Beams.

I like you well.

All right, we appreciate the hell out of you, Shreks.

Have fun tonight, buddy.

Hey, I just want to say you were talking about the dive, dude.

Thank you for making sports fun.

Thank you for being electric thank you for remembering this is supposed to be fun and happy you bring joy dude we so appreciate it you're the man that's very kind of you to say you do the same ladies and gentlemen emmy award winner peter

i mean that was

true sports are fun sports should be fun you're right yeah what do we do this for yeah Good times, competition.

Hell yeah,

kicking somebody's ass.

That's right.

You know, yeah, that's what we like doing.

I also like everybody coming together.

One cause.

Felt like that down in Miami.

Everybody was in the same direction.

Everybody.

President all the way down to student just got on campus to friend of student from Maine who's on campus who misses kick twice for 500 grand for the boys.

Good kick.

First one had a little thump.

Second one, good thump.

Never had the trajectory, but I like the change that he made.

Could tell he was an athlete.

Could tell he was athletic because he changed the trajectory a little bit for the second one.

That's the first one.

I thought he was going to bank that in.

As that thing was flying off the wall, I'm like, oh, fuck, I got to kick this this.

That's literally all I'm thinking about the entire time.

And then for him to hit the second one after the chain, the way he did, obviously gave a little bit of a thrill.

But $500,000 for the boys.

As soon as I heard this is for the whole, I'm like,

God dudes, I like what we're doing here for the boys.

And you let him down.

So now he's going to get shit talked by the boys forever.

So that is good too for the boys.

So everything was a win-win there.

Happy it happened.

Very thankful for Miami.

Miami gets huge win.

That caps off big storyline from the weekend, Tone.

Yeah, let's start down there where the game day was in Miami.

Miami wins 26-7 in the defense and the run game was the story of the night.

Hembo sent in the stats, and you're seeing him right there.

Florida was 0 for 13 on third down for 14 total yards.

Lagway had 12 completions, which totaled minus seven air yards.

It was just the score was not as bad as it should have been.

26-7 is when it ended, but it was closer than that on the scoreboard for a lot of it.

Miami just dominated in the trenches all night long.

It was a huge win for them, 26-7 there.

Feels like the Uzbek.

Yes, it it does.

Feels like the Uzbek.

Athletes everywhere, the vibes, you know, everything about it.

The trenches are just, they just dominate.

Michael Irving on the siren.

He didn't lie.

Almost cranked that.

He said he was going to try to break that thing.

He certainly did.

And I think he did the exact movement in his video and he didn't have it.

That's being able to, something just happened.

That's being able to put yourself in a situation.

That's right.

The reason why the playmaker was so good is because he was able to visualize the games before they even happened.

So the big-time catches, the big time plays we've seen, that's not the first time those have happened.

They've happened in his brain because we saw him do this exact thing in his office, it looks like, where he does all his shit.

And he was able to get that in there.

And it's alive down there in Coral Gables.

I love that Miami team.

And Florida now has a lot of questions about what they're going to do going forward.

Go ahead, Don.

Another team we love, let's go from Florida up to Oklahoma where they hosted Auburn.

The final score here was 24-17.

The story of this one, kind of similar to the Oklahoma Michigan game, is where it's John Matier, and Matier does enough, and the offense does enough.

And then that Oklahoma defense, they had nine sacks on Jackson Arnold.

The Oklahoma D-line just feasted all day long.

And then Matier makes enough plays with his arms and legs to get the 24-17 win and cover.

Was that a hideout, that first touchdown?

Is that what we just saw?

Yes,

that was the one that the SEC came out.

Yeah, they put out the statement.

It should have been a 15-yard penalty, whatever, blah, blah, blah.

It was touchdown on Saturday.

Come between, do they have the same rule?

You got to

go out.

Yeah, you got to check in.

That was the highest.

They tried to call timeout, too, and they didn't give Auburn's coach a timeout.

It was.

Hugh Freeze.

Not happy.

God bless you, but I'm not happy.

I think Auburn should come away.

I think Auburn's a good football team.

Oklahoma's just made more plays in that one.

I said this on game day.

I think Oklahoma best team in the country.

Now, Oregon, we're going to find out.

Oh, yeah.

Penn State, we're about to find out.

There's a lot of big-time games that are coming around.

Indiana might be the goddamn team this year.

There's a team in Texas, and it's not in Austin.

Texas Tech, holy shit.

They spent a lot of money.

They're very good.

I assume that's one of the storylines of the week.

Yeah, some of those are on there, but first we got to go to the bustin bowl.

Michigan came down to Nebraska.

The final was 30 to 27.

And we talked to Coach Rule this week, and the one thing that he was worried about was the rushing defense, and he should have been worried about that.

Nebraska gave up 290 yards on the ground.

Riola had pressure in his face all day long, but Michigan wins 30 to 27 on the ground.

I could have, I mean, a couple of these are some big,

gaping

holes.

AJ, Michigan running like that, got a lot of games until the big one at the end.

Are you worried about Michigan maybe finding its stride here?

Oh, no, they definitely will find their stride.

I think their offense is awesome.

How do you ever play any kind of match or man-to-man coverage when you have a quarterback like Underwood that's going to just tuck it and run anytime you turn your back on him?

Yeah, I would be worried about stopping this offense.

That's three touchdowns untouched.

Yes.

That is.

What the hell are we thinking?

I can't wait to talk to Coach Rule.

What was the.

The Justice Haynes first touchdown, the 75-yard one, was ridiculous.

Okay, so Michigan might be for real.

Will Compton's bald, owes 50 grand to Michigan's NIL.

And then also, I guess he has seceded the 1997 co-title to Michigan.

He has.

Wow, yeah.

I don't think the rest of Nebraska.

Probably not.

But he said he will not consider himself a 1997 national champion anymore, which I knew that was tough for him to give up.

I knew that was tough for him to give up.

He actually looks good, bald.

Will you all look bad, brother,

especially with the new rig

that you got done.

You look good, Will.

Good battle out of the boys, the busting with the ball.

I also appreciate the Michigan team with the trophy.

Actually, hey, that's celebrating.

Yeah, I like that.

That's good, AJ.

That's good.

Great.

It's awesome.

Yeah, that just came out of their brains, and all of a sudden, it's a part of the both teams.

It's a legit, real thing.

Ain't good for college ball.

You know, the more trophies, the better.

Yeah, more rivalries.

Like the platypus trophy out there, Oregon, Oregon State.

That's right.

You know, it's half duck, half beaver.

It's a big platypus trophy.

It's a big deal.

We did seven minutes on that.

Rightfully so.

On game day.

I was mad it wasn't eight.

Yeah, me too.

That shocked me.

First four minutes, I'm like, what's going on here?

What is the deal?

It's 190 degrees out here.

What's going on?

These people are going to die during this.

Platypus.

And then I started paying attention.

I'm like, yep, story does need to be told.

Platypus.

And then Dan Lanning makes an appearance.

And I'm like, Lanning's part of it.

Obviously, there's going to be an intense.

There's a trophy.

I want to win.

I'm like, all right.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

Then they put a picture of that thing up there.

And it's like, Platypus does deserve its own segment like like this.

And then the troll trophy.

Did you see that one?

Oh, no.

Troll trophy.

This thing is god-awful looking, but I understand it's worth a lot.

And the busting ball trophy becoming a thing is good, obviously.

Yeah, and you know what else is good?

You know what people love?

When they spend money and it works out.

Texas Tech went into Utah.

It was a 10 a.m.

local kick, which is I'm sure everyone loved down there.

And Texas Tech had two quarterbacks play.

Baron Morton is the starter.

And then Will Hammond came in when Baron Morton got hurt.

They both looked awesome.

The Texas Tech offense looked awesome.

The defense looked awesome.

Money well spent in Texas Tech for a 34-10 win in Utah, which is not an easy place to play.

So to be clear, a lot of Texas Tech people telling me, all you say is that we spent money.

It's like, well, I'm just saying that you're a part of 2025 college football.

That's what I'm saying.

We say everybody that is spending money spends money because it means that their institution, their boosters, their people, all in.

They are spending money, which we need to know.

Now, if you spend money on the wrong guys.

Doesn't matter.

So we apologize to Texas Tech for, I apologize for not immediately being like, yup, Texas Tech is for real.

What they did to Utah in Utah, Texas Tech is for real.

Yeah.

They able to go in there, the mighty Utah student section, 10 a.m.

local, and do that to them.

I'm impressed with them.

And it does feel like they spent the money on the right pieces.

Yeah.

And the backup quarterback is a guy, is what everybody's saying.

Dude, when Will Hammond came in, as soon as he gets into the huddle, there was juice.

It wasn't like a oh shit moment.

The old line was patting him on the back.

It was good vibes.

And he just started throwing seeds.

I didn't know he could run.

And maybe that's because he's white and has red hair and he's from Texas.

but he was moving on a couple of those.

In those highlight films, there was one.

He threw a dagger touchdown that was a back shoulder dart.

I don't know how Texas Tech feels inside the locker room, but as an outsider, just kind of, hey, Texas Tech's fun to watch.

They better start Will Hammond because he is

a good guy.

Yeah, he looked unbelievable.

It was fun to watch their team.

And congrats to them being real.

Okay, last storyline of the weekend we should have been talking about, Tone.

Yes, and a lot of people were asking this question on the internet after the game.

Who is this year's Indiana?

Oh, maybe it's just Indiana again.

Because they hosted Illinois this week.

Illinois was a top 10 team, and they won 63 to 10.

That first step block punt was by Diego Pons, who is

all big 10 cornerback.

He's going to be drafted very high, very good.

And then Mendoza was 21 of 23 for five touchdowns.

Sig had the boys rolling early and often.

It was a classic ass beating.

Watch out.

Indiana's back again because Sig's there still and they are rolling.

Tone, I think we talked about this beforehand.

This is another one of those where I was surprised everybody picked Illinois

during game day.

I got a lot of picks wrong, but there's a couple that like are made where I'm like, I didn't expect this to be this one way, strictly because I know everybody respects Bielma and what they're building at Illinois, but like Signetti, you can Google that shit.

Like he does win.

Mendoza, good quarterback.

Yeah.

Veteran quarterback, been there, done that.

And Indiana has become a little bit of an atmosphere.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's become her sold that fucking place out.

It's like, I thought that was going to be a tough game for Illinois.

Didn't expect that to.

A lot of people thought Indiana was going to have a bunch of turnover just because of all the transfers they brought in last year.

No, those transfers were like two years' players.

They have a lot of guys coming back.

So besides quarterback, basically the same team.

And that's the Signetti blueprint.

Yeah.

Hey, the Big Ten's got squads all of a sudden.

We'll continue digitally.

This is wrapping up.

Read the Onion.

Rest in peace to AJ.

Yep.

See you tomorrow.

Overreacting to Monday Night Football.

Great article.

That is a great article.

Fantastic.

Is there an art?

Is there an art?

I just saw the screenshot.

There's an article.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's a writer.

Oh, no.

AJ, maybe a Halloween costume idea.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, maybe they sent me up for a good Halloween costume.

Maybe they're thinking for you.

Just know that we would know.

Yeah, yeah.

I would like that idea.

I had a good buddy, Brad Jones, who I played with in Green Bay, very awesome teammate.

And I used to ask him a lot.

Me and Clay would say, Brad, in the offseason, if you die, like how many weeks until somebody noticed?

And sometimes he'd say, might be two or three months until like camp starts, but they realize I'm not here.

So he just kind of lives out in the woods, this guy?

Well, he's just a very unique character.

He's like super, duper smart, lives in Manhattan now, but no one can ever, you can't ever get a hold of him.

He just does his own thing, feeds to his own drummer, as they say, but he is the man.

Yeah, I love that.

Love him.

Love that you're not actually dead.

And love that the onion is actually, hey, that's a huge honor for us.

It is.

That's a huge honor for us.

All right, let's take a break.

We'll make our picks on the other side.

Hell yeah.

You feel like you got a good read on it?

Yes.

Really?

AJ, you feel like you got a good read on it?

It was a bad weekend for both of us.

Oh, yeah.

I don't know how many I got, but man, it felt like I didn't have anything.

You were close to that.

Oh, man.

Every game, like, oh, that had to be a loss for me.

Yeah, me too, though.

I didn't do great either, brother.

It was a tough weekend.

Pretty good.

Seven games, brother.

Came down to it.

So, I mean, that's the amount of swings for money that that could have went.

I mean, Rams, Eagles.

Exactly.

Very end.

Then you think about, yeah, Jordan Davis.

You think about the blowouts, though, too.

Like, the weekend was wild.

We had.

The Packers getting beat, beat, too.

The Packers have been getting beat straight up, too, at seven and a half point favorites.

Insane.

But there was blowouts out here.

Look at this.

Like ass beating.

That doesn't happen.

No.

Shutout, blowout, shutout, division.

It's crazy.

That doesn't happen.

Six of them.

If the NFL was told, hey, you're going to have six blowouts in one weekend, the NFL and everybody would be like, no way, that's not the fucking NFL.

The afternoon slate, because that Saints Seahawks game was like 40-0 with like 11 minutes left in the second quarter.

And it was just like, oh, shit, here we go.

go like there's nothing for that afternoon sleek and what the nfl is saying is yeah yeah yeah six blowouts but also boom bang how about the thrillers yeah we got seven of those more on this one than the first one never forget it nfl still king douglas that that is yeah that is literally what the nfl is saying but it was a wild weekend you could have given up on games Could have given up on a couple games because it was over, but you would have never known because how many of these became fucking games.

Like, let's say the Patriots, 14-0 Steelers early.

It looked like Patriots were fucking.

Yeah.

No chance.

They come back, make a a massive play.

Green Bay Packers, 10-zip.

Long time.

Like two minutes left in the game.

They had that entire thing.

The LA Rams are up 26 to 7.

Yep.

26 on Airs.

Could have gave up on that game.

It was up by a bunch, too.

So much of a,

there's a lot of fucking.

I mean, last week, and it happens everywhere, but last week, the Falcons had the best defense, and they were going to be unbelievable.

And then they just got 30 on on them.

We don't know shit.

Hey, yeah.

It's about fucked up here.

Not yet.

but tonight we're gonna get it right hell yeah good for us come on boys all right we'll make our picks on the other side four and a half point favorites are the baltimore ravens at home over under 53 and a half it's a lot of points man

a lot of points they think electric fireworks this might this might be like the goof rams versus mahomes yeah that would

need that after last night

Yeah, because we were kind of punished last night.

Last night fucking sucked, man.

The New York teams, man.

We watched a fourth down in the fourth quarter go off the fucking crossbar

fucking have it what about the prime time man what about the fucking first down

yeah fourth down okay but fucking first down what happened on first he threw fucking russell threw the ball into the god

darn fucking tunnel hit a guy in a fucking scatter

boom

jersey they did see that the boys were back they did the costco boys were back yep they might just need to roll them out onto the actual football field.

Actually, funny enough,

Costco Boys don't help that big Justice.

Or excuse me, AJ went back to his old high school, led the boys out on the field, and they lost by 40.

No.

Yeah.

He said, tonight, we give them five big booms.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Let's go.

He ran them out and they lost by 40.

No, that's not real.

That feels like misinformation.

49-14.

Sorry.

there's no way they get five big booms and then lose.

Okay, from what I've seen, that ain't how that thing works.

All right, fine.

I don't know what the score was.

There's incoming.

I just, Tone just spoke to all of us, I believe, and said there's something coming into the group.

Text, I assume this is potentially the five big booms.

No, it was the first down play.

Okay, first down for Russell Wilson.

Okay, this is throwing it into the tunnel.

Just drilling it, kids.

Fourth quarter.

Yeah.

Need it.

Like, need to go quick here, guys.

Let's need two scores.

Let's score some points.

Do we have it?

I believe this was grounding.

It was.

Fuck it.

Into the top.

Smart play.

You can't take a sack there.

Second and 10.

On first and fourth down, he wasn't going to get picked.

How about Flacco throwing that pick?

Where they could have kicked like a 62-yarder.

Yeah.

And instead of

Flacco go to his left and then just throw the pick basically and make sure they get the ball down there.

Pretty heady play by Joe Flacco.

McKinney was getting shit for not back.

That's knocked out.

No, I know, real time.

That's like, why the fuck did he?

But he hasn't got one yet this year, so I get it.

Hey, they're going to give incentives on picks.

You got to do what you got to do like that.

And then how about, yeah, Golden?

I still don't know what happened here.

I've been trying to not think about it.

Just run down the field.

That's a fucking 95-yard touchdown.

Debut, what's the problem?

Let's see.

I mean, you think momentum or just not, but I think it's more just not really being aware.

I think he thought he he was like two yards closer to the sideline than he actually was.

He even could have stopped, yeah, like just like got on a straight path again and then ran right here.

Like those two little short steps, that makes me think he was trying to make sure he got his feet, you know, in battle.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

So he didn't know he was one, two, three, four, five.

He thought he was out there.

Three, four, five.

He thought he was already out.

And you asked, like, were our guys killing him for this?

At that time in the game, third and seven, he picks that up.

They're up 10, nothing.

The team was pumped.

It's like, oh, here we fucking go.

They're going to march down and score 17-0.

They've played like shite, but they're going to put this one away.

And of course,

that didn't happen.

So I see that on quad box, don't have sound.

So I'm watching that, and I see him run out of bounds, and I immediately text.

Hey, what the fuck was this?

Because I only saw it in quad box.

So also small, don't have sound.

Sure.

Like, are they just trying to pick up 50 yards real quick and then like four-minute offense this thing?

Like, what's going on?

And then in the moment, no, everybody's just kind of like, no, we're just playing football here.

But I guess, hey, it's a learning moment.

Rookie mistake.

Yeah.

Rookie mistake.

Look, it is a difference.

It is an adjustment.

And it might be funny to some people, but like the hashes and the numbers, like those are very different.

So you line up, you run that slot fade.

Being aware, you know, getting sometimes you'll see guys get a pick and just get up and celebrate instead of getting up and running.

Like those are things you got to learn.

Rookie mistake, but huge blank still.

Huge play.

Huge slightly.

I got that from him.

But it could have been a game break.

Yeah, but rookie mistakes are right.

And that's not on him.

You were shitting your pants pants at the draft whenever they drafted this guy.

No, I think he's great.

The big reason they lost yesterday is because they played not to lose, and LaFleur got so fucking conservative.

They couldn't run the ball at all.

I don't think anyone can.

I mean, we just saw Derrick Henry got, you know, he had 22 yards last week, kind of the same with Jacobs.

And when they got the ball back, when they were up 10-0, they marched down the field in maybe four plays and were in field goal range.

Three consecutive runs, lose two yards, and then have to settle for the field goal.

It gets blocked.

16 seconds, no timeouts.

They give up two plays.

Joe Flacco still got it.

Gets the boys a line scrimmage, kills the ball.

That's second left.

That's like

unbelievable that they have this much time.

Look at Flacco saying, Come on, boys, we've got to fucking spike this thing.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go.

Hold your water.

Hold your waters.

Right.

Boom.

We got it.

All right.

And then this kid nails.

He kind of got cheated actually.

55.

Yeah.

What a kick.

And Cleveland.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, it's nothing, AJ.

He hit a, I think there was a 51-yarder earlier, maybe.

It hit the net, like, really high.

I'm like, these guys are fucking murdering footballs right now.

I mean, absolutely murdering balls.

That was a funny take the Schraeger had.

We got guys hitting 64-yarders like the chip shots.

Our guy can't even, we can't even kick any corners.

It's like it's

I like 2-5 on a kicker, too.

Are we at the point where we need emergency kickers?

And I feel like we don't even have 32 good ones now, but like how we have the emergency quarterback situation.

Because you should never, NFL game,

you shouldn't be able to kick it.

It looked like shit.

They still have a kicker.

That looked like shit.

And that's on Gnot for the product.

What's that?

Yeah.

What did he hurt?

Did anyone see it?

There's no film of him.

Was it?

Yeah.

It was the same injury as last year.

He went down in warm-ups.

What did he do?

What is he doing?

The real mistake is Joe Shane.

He's making...

Max Crosby.

Gnot is making $5.6 million this year, and the best ability is availability, and he doesn't have it.

Okay, all right.

So, whenever you think about being 38 years old, Graham Gannot, he got drafted same class as me.

He was really good punter coming out of college.

They thought he was going to be a punter, probably, a lot of people, and he became a kicker.

A lot of people thought I was going to be a kicker, became a punter.

So I've always been a massive fan of Graham Gannel.

Known him a long time.

Very full of faith, very faith-driven man.

Good Moxie, though, and talk shit.

And has always had a huge fucking leg.

Like a huge leg.

The guy used to just murder balls.

Obviously comes from the soccer background and everything like that.

I don't know how he's still doing it with with how hard he kicks the ball.

I don't know how his muscle, I mean, what I do, I hit a free kick and I fucking,

that was two years ago.

I was 36 years old.

I just blew my entire hip flexor out whenever I kicked a free kick.

I don't know how many times he's kicking a week or a day.

I don't know if he's on a kick count.

I don't know all that shit.

But it's like watching Vinny maintain his leg.

Crazy.

Crazy.

It was like a five-hour thing every day.

Five hours of like working it just for practice.

Just for 12 kicks in practice.

We're starting that thing at fucking like 6 a.m all the way through just for practice and if any missed one kick it was like fucking we lost super bowl so it was watching him maintain his

because kicking you have to be like very explosive because it has to get up you know like punting you got to be very strong because everything is go but kicking like the difference between the um

like for instance somebody looks like they're maybe a ringer when it comes to kicking you know we might uh sure There might be a little bit of, oh, let's see what a kick is really like.

And that's a fucking Jordan Davis,

Jalen, Carter.

Got to get up right now.

Right now.

So to do that, you have to be very explosive.

Like, that takes a lot of explosion to get the ball up very quick.

You have to have a very strong leg.

It has to be very explosive.

That's why some of the little guys, you wonder if they're going to be able to do it or maintain it because the amount of like torque that they have to put on to be able to do that kind of hurts their entire body.

So the fact that Graham Guineau can still do what he does, I'm very impressed by.

But like Thomas Morstead, too, is probably the same age as me.

I'm like, I know how I feel, bro.

Shit.

I don't know how the the fuck you motherfucker.

Prater.

Exactly.

41?

I don't know how the fuck they're doing.

They shamed it until he was 40 or whatever.

Because you're using, I mean, it is a very violent motion to do all these things.

But good on you.

Good luck, Grandpa.

You're healthy.

But boy, Giants fans and those who pitch you.

We're not excited to hear that we were not able to kick a...

First drive.

First drive, it's crude.

That was hilarious.

Right after.

He's like, yeah, he's not going to be able to kick the.

And then boom, extra point gets blocked instantly after that first touchdown.

It's just like, oh man, I know what Bruce is going through.

Hey, good luck against the Chiefs.

Yeah, good luck.

Good luck against the Kansas City Chiefs.

You won't need a kicker.

No big deal.

Speaking of kicking, there's been some good kickoff guys that have started to weaponize the landing zone.

Here's old buddy from LA, I do believe, hitting this knuckle ball, Cardi, who

great kicker.

That's his squib right there.

A little bit of a knuckle, a little bit of a twist, and then that thing hits the ground and is hell.

If you're able to hit that ball, like if your leg strength is at a place where you can just hit your knuckle and it'll land in the landing zone, boy, you're in a good spot right now.

But I think there's some kickers that are scared to hit because you're hitting really fat on that ball, which is the exact what are you doing?

What are you doing to kick a knuckle ball?

You're going right through the middle of that fucking thing.

Bang, going right through it.

So the entire thing just kind of implodes, and then you want it to come off your, like a knuckle ball that's come out of a hand.

Like you want that thing to come out just uncomfortable.

And then whatever it does with the wind is good.

his had a little bit of twist mine used to fucking i used to have a pretty good little squib because i hit it as hard as i could but you're hitting the ball bad like it's a bad place to hit the ball it's not the sweet spot it's a bit fat it doesn't look good so like a lot of these kickers that are hitting kickoffs now are taking their field goal steps so that they can just hit it to like the one or the five i'm thinking there's some guys that don't want to take their field goal steps and fucking hit a shitty ball but i think that is the right kick for this current kickoff so i think punters should be working on hitting squibs because you don't have to have like perfect technique you're just trying to go through the middle of that ball aj you're trying to go right through the risk the risk is what you you yank it out of bounds if you hit it bad or what happens if you hit it bad then it goes to the 40 but if you hit a touchback it's going to the 35 anyway shortly if it if i'm saying when you with a squib though what what what's a bad miss with the squib what do you what do you do when you miss it so a miss

oh i don't know i think everybody has anywhere

My miss normally would hit the ground early.

So that would be considered out of bounds, which would go to the 40, which would be a nightmare.

Some guys, though, fucking he, you know, or even p.

Well, that's kind of the thing with that, like, knuckleball, right?

Is you can't really control it.

You don't really know where it's going.

I mean, it's the same thing, like, with a pitcher throwing a knuckleball, is you're letting the air kind of just do whatever it does with it.

Yeah, let the atmosphere decide.

I'm just going to go ahead and give this thing to the lords here, and you guys figure out what it's going to be.

That's basically a squib.

What's a weapon, though?

What a weapon, though.

Think of returners, like the week leading up to it, how much you're working on those knuckleballs, and then the game, like, oh man, if he hits the first one good you're sitting there and thinking like yeah you don't have a whole lot of time to figure that out you're playing like a goalie back there almost like just hoping that you don't

i watched i watched every kickoff because i was menstruated by it and he had he had four field goals and obviously touchdowns and kickoffs so i think there was like six or seven kickoffs eagles returners were in hell they didn't they didn't pick one up clean like their average start was like the 15 yard line because they were they had no idea what to do with it it was awesome yeah i think you're gonna see more and more of that shit i think punters should get good at that so the kickers don't have to hit fat balls, but some of the kickers are like the greatest ball strikers on earth.

So it's like, I can hit a little fat.

Yeah, I can.

What do you make?

Want me to make this fucker dance?

I can fucking make it dance for you.

Let me hit this thing short and get it at 40, and then we're fucked because that's a weapon.

Weapon, you're big time.

But there's going to come a time where somebody tries to do it and they're going to get the ball to 40 and it's going to be two plays.

Write down and score.

Yeah, and you're going to be like, yeah, fuck it.

Kick the fucking ball.

Yeah, exactly.

That's kicker's life, basically.

But Cardi, keep going, brother.

Hell yeah.

Go.

What a go.

We got an author up here.

Ladies and gentlemen, Darius J.

Ball.

D-Bucks, you know, this Monday is glorious because it's a Monday in football season, which means we get a chance to kind of test the waters of how every fan base feels.

People are feeling really good, or people are feeling really terrible at this point.

Oh, yeah.

Three games in, you think any of these people know what their teams actually are?

Yes.

So you think some of these aren't going to actually be overreactions?

Maybe they're just proper.

reactions to the situation?

I'd say 80-20.

All right, well, let's judge us.

Overreactions.

You think 80-20 overreactions?

80% overreactions, but 20% would be spotted.

All right, let's judge them for ourselves.

Ty won through all of the tweets that had.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but

picked out his favorites.

Let's go ahead and see and gauge how these NFL fans feel after their week three performance.

Oh, from the mids.

Good.

Just to lead this one off.

Didn't use the hashtag.

Actually, sent this yesterday immediately after the 55-yard field goal went through the uprights.

I don't want to overreact, but

Packers didn't just lose.

They got adopted.

Welcome to the family because the Browns are your daddy now.

Someone send Ty Schmidt a therapy dog from the dog pound.

Hashtag, here we go, Brownies.

Here we go.

Hashtag overreaction Monday at Pat McAfee Show.

He was close.

He was in the ballpark.

Sure.

But he's certainly excited about that Brownies win over the Packers.

How do you feel about The Miz being able to kind of do this to you for the next year or so, whenever the next time you guys play, anytime you see him?

I'm okay with it because if I'm not mistaken, hasn't The Miz lost like 500 matches in a row for WWE?

So he's kind of just

losing and losing and losing and losing and losing and losing.

And I love The Miz.

So I'm okay with him maybe grabbing one of these W's here in September.

In a few weeks, I'm going to get over this one.

Actually, you know what?

I'll be over this one 25 minutes from now.

The Miz is going to cherish this the rest of the year, and I'm okay with that.

We have some breaking news from Adam Schefter's Twitter account.

49ers Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa has suffered a season-ending tornado ACL throwing a win over Arizona.

It's clean tear, but Bosa now will need season-ending injury or surgery.

Damn.

Jeez.

We saw him put his thumbs down whenever he was walking off the field.

Feels like he knew what was going on.

Felt like there was some optimism that he didn't tear his ACL.

Shefty said that this morning.

Felt like there was some, and now, obviously, terrible news.

That sucks, dude.

I don't like that at all.

Godspeed, obviously, on the surgery and recovery, AJ, but we miss out on Nick Bosa playing football this year.

And obviously, the Niners miss out on Bosa being on the field.

What are your thoughts here as we learn that it's season over for Nick Bosa?

Yeah, a huge blow to Bosa, obviously, and to the team that we know how great the guy is.

When he did the thumbs down, he looked, you see him, he looks up in the crowd and he kind of like with the sun.

He sees, I'm assuming, fanway or somebody he knows and gives him the thumbs down.

I'm like, you know, we know the Bosas, like they've look like, look at what they look like.

They know exactly, they're not a body better than anybody.

i'm sure he knew this is not right i've never had this feeling before i don't i don't i assume he has not torn an acl before but man what a what a brutal situation dba what does this mean for the niners obviously this sucks man for all party but i i don't like that we're not going to get to see bosa all year just talking about this murron how awesome it is the niners defenses like he won them week one yeah and it's and obviously we feel terrible for him and we hope godspeed but for us as football fans sucks he's not there for niners what are your thoughts yeah i think uh even trent trent williams after the game talked about about how during that stretch he couldn't help but not think about him.

And it is, you know, we say it, next man up.

And that's just what it has to be in the NFL season because injuries are guaranteed.

But it just sucks for this team in particular.

It's like they just can never get all their guys on the field at the same time for long stretches of time.

And this is an absolute game record.

This is a guy where you talk about fourth down, fourth quarter pass rush.

You can only send four when you got a guy like 97 off the edge.

So this absolutely sucks for him.

And we get that test, you know, that test that the trainers do where they can kind of check the stability of the ACL.

And you kind of know a lot of times you hope for the best, but you know him.

I'm sure he knew walking off the field that, you know, this was the end of his season, unfortunately.

Yeah, now you could have never predicted it, but massive drafting a guy, you know, in the top 15 to be a pass rusher just because, I mean, aside from Bosa, they might be in complete hell if it wasn't for Mike L.

Williams.

And I think he got his first or second sack of his career against the Cardinals, too.

He's playing well.

Godspeed over there, Bosa.

We won't miss you.

All right, let's go to our next overreaction, shall we?

This is from Boston Connor.

Now, looking at the picture, you think to yourself, this is a distinguished gentleman.

Is that a tuxedo that guy's wearing?

It looks like you would think.

You think there's cheeks on those tuxedo pants

if he's wearing the pants with that?

Or you think maybe he's wearing shorts with a tuxedo top?

You don't really know.

No.

Kind of an ominous feature here.

And then you look at the face and it's like, wow, this guy's called a little moxie.

Yeah.

Then you think to yourself, what the fuck does he have to say?

Well, hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but the Patriots are going to be very good at football, but it's going to take some time.

Let the young pups play some football, and let's have a real shot at this thing next year.

Connor, what do you mean by that, pal?

I mean, it's just asinine.

We're looking around the league, and there are certain situations where rookies are making massive contributions.

Golden, we saw for the Packers, he was huge.

On the other side of the ball, the Browns, they're using Harold Fannin Jr.

and Quinshaw Junkins, and they're basically their team.

And the Browns are one of those teams that's not playing for a Super Bowl this year.

The Patriots, you know,

we drafted a running back in the top of the second round, Trevion Henderson, and he's unbelievable by all accounts.

They actually, the guy who scored last night for the Chiefs, Tyquan Thornton, you want to know why he's not on the Patriots anymore?

He's not on the Patriots anymore because we cut him because he had to make room for Efton Chisholm, another rookie, doesn't play.

Trevion Henderson doesn't play.

Kyle Williams drafted in the third round.

He got one snap yesterday, had a catch for a first down.

Doesn't play.

Personally, it's very frustrating.

You wanted to buy in before the weekends.

You know, Patriots beat the Steelers, then they got Panthers Saints.

We're staring down 5-1 start here.

There's a chance we kind of go.

4-1, whatever the hell it is.

And then the game was just a big reminder.

Oh, okay, no.

We're just very young.

We're the Lions before they became the brand new Lions at 9-8.

Have to, you know, get good this year and then hopefully build on it.

The only way to do that is to play the young guys.

I'm fucking sick and tired of these old fuckers doing this shit.

I'm done with it.

I don't care.

Ramondre Stevenson was awesome.

Basically won the game last week.

You fumble the ball twice this week.

No one gives a fuck about what you did last week.

And just across the board, that doesn't count because Drake May got his head spiked off the ground right for it.

And he didn't know where he was.

And that was about to be a fumble probably on the goal line right there as well.

I mean, they gave up 14 points.

Two turnovers in end zone.

That's tough.

Right there.

That's brutal.

Opening drive.

Opening drive Ramondre Stevenson fumbles on first down.

No, but I'm saying the ones in the end zone.

Yeah, the worst.

The amount of work it takes to get all the way down to the end.

The amount of first downs, the amount of shit that goes into you getting there to do that, even being in position to score, and then it just fucking give it away is like worst demoralizing situation for whole team.

Whole team is like, oh no, that's potentially 14-point swing every single time.

You guys leave 14 points on the board, basically, against the Pittsburgh Steelers who are going all in this year.

So if I'm a Patriots fan, it's like, we fucked this one up.

Yes.

Yes, we certainly did.

And there was also, what, five turnovers in total?

Five total.

It's crazy.

That's a lot of turnovers.

I believe.

Yes.

Crazy.

I think four of them were on the Steelers side of the fields.

After the first quarter, the Patriots outgay and the Steelers 396 to 101 still lost.

That drive where Ramondre fumbled on the goal line, that's what changed the game.

That was a 96-yard drive.

I believe it was nine minutes long.

Zero points, excuse me, the interception at the end of the first half.

It was a 96-yard drive.

It kept the Steelers' offense off the field for like an hour of real time, not just football time.

And then the Steelers couldn't do anything on offense.

It just sucks.

But luckily for me, I actually had Jose Cuervo's Devil Reserve with me yesterday.

It's a sweet, tropical, spicy, infused tequila that is smooth and devilishly good, especially after your team gets blown out or completely shits the game away.

When mischief is on the menu, Devil's Reserve is the perfect choice.

Listen to that little devil on your shoulder.

Pour a round of shots and get ready to raise a little hill.

Even though it says, get ready to raise a little hill, Bruce.

Find Devil's Reserve at your local liquor store or go to Quervo.com to purchase your own bottle of mischief.

But remember, you must be 21 years or old or over.

Again, Bruce, that's what you say.

Please.

This reminds me of the old awesome.

Do you remember this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I was doing a a little nostalgia.

Yeah, and me too halfway through.

I think D-Bun's actually trying to run that QR code right now to see if he can maybe raise a little hill.

You should.

You might be able to lift an entire hill after you do a little swing drop.

Oh, boom.

It works.

What does it take you to?

I mean, let me guess.

What's that?

Oh, that's queer.

Oh, yeah.

Boom.

It's that little morgue.

Yeah.

Scanny, grab your bottle with Devil's Reserve right over here with the Devil's thing.

We didn't even try it.

Hey, what's that?

We didn't even freaking freaking play in that man.

All that?

Yeah.

We did raise a little hit.

I play in my flubs, but what's up for that?

You're so good.

I'll just point in my flubs.

You know how it goes.

Well, that's a Devil's Reserve football.

Let's go to the next overreaction.

This one's from Bruce Brown, noted Devil's Reserve ad writer.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but...

If Russell Wilson attempts one more pass for this incompetent, pathetic, hapless, embarrassing disgrace of a broken football organization, Everybody has to be held accountable.

Okay,

feels like you really summed it up there about everything happening in New York.

Anything further you have to say, Bruce, about the situation?

I mean, it's fucking contagious.

I can't even write an ad read anymore.

I've written probably 2,000 of them, and now I'm fucking those up.

It's just an absolute joke.

It's September 22nd.

You know, we're probably cleaning house and just looking at the Mara nepotism ladder where Tim McConnell gets promoted from director of player personnel up to GM.

Completely pathetic.

It's just an absolute embarrassment to the tri-state area that this is the product that we've been putting out for the last fucking 13 years.

I mean, we could probably stop choosing these and just stop talking about them completely after this.

So that's on the bright side, I guess.

Need Dart.

Maybe Jameis would be fun.

You know, some pick sixes to lighten the mood a bit.

But it's embarrassing.

We got Abdul Carter playing middle linebacker because we don't have enough depth there.

It's just a joke, man.

Abdul Carter's playing off the ball.

I like that.

Yeah, he's playing Mike.

That's what the Cowboys did with Micah when he came in, and they were like two weeks, right?

Was that two weeks?

Yeah,

well, when we put him on the line, did I?

There was a stat on the broadcast last night.

I think it was like 10 of the last 12 seasons they've started 0-2.

10 of 13, yeah.

10 or 13.

That's what he said the last 13 fucking years.

Yeah,

it was 10 of 13.

They've started 0-2.

I know, but that's probably what reminded him of this being 13 years of this, the 0-2, 0-3 starts.

I mean,

it sounds like Dabo and Shane, though, are pretty comfortable, right?

I asked Schefter three times.

Yeah.

He didn't, yeah.

I was like, hey, these guys, aren't they kind of thinking about it right now, though, because they're not worried about the future?

Because the New York Giants are certainly not in a desirable.

And it's like, what is the deal with them right now?

I do wonder what the future looks like.

Because if you're going to get fired, are you going to put the rookie in there?

I don't know.

And if they go.

Yeah, you got to show hope.

Hey, you got to show hope.

Put the rookie in.

Show that, hey, we have hope for next year.

Scataboo is a cult hero already.

We know that.

Jackson Dart is becoming that let's see if he can continue that if he gets thrust into the lineup and he's the actual starter i like that yeah because you don't want to change offenses if your if your rookie quarterback looks really good this year yeah yeah you gotta keep you gotta you want to keep the same offense if they go one and six and then end up going four and 13 but jackson dart wins three games and then they close three and seven or three and eight is that good enough if jackson dart looks good for the new york fans to bring back a coach who goes four and 13?

I mean, if we keep up the general level of ineptitude, it's, hey, thanks for the cute quarterback.

Fuck off.

Goodbye.

FO.

Amen.

Okay.

But, you know, if we start playing, you know, all three phases, putting it together, you know, we're right there.

It's really close.

It's just not a good

fucking table every week.

Maybe they'll stay.

Who fucking knows?

It doesn't matter because John Maher will be there.

So whatever.

Oh!

He's the only one that didn't want to get rid of Saquon.

Don't put that on us.

Champion.

I think what Bruce would say is, yeah, but the way he hires within his family and within his team, he doesn't really want the best for the team going forward.

He lost some sleep on Saquon, but he slept just fine knowing that his fucking family is going to run this team into the ground, which is what Bruce is about to say.

Yeah, it is kind of weird because obviously we saw hard knocks where we go behind the scenes, but you don't really know how much John Marr is actually meddling in.

And, you know, I've been to two parades.

Like, I shouldn't be in a position where I'm like, hey, sell the team.

But here we are.

Yeah.

Eli, though, last night.

Oh, he was playing it.

He was filthy.

Yeah, he was.

Let me hit mine.

Oh, that cruiser.

That's kind of fun.

Little side shot, little tighter hole over there.

Boom.

Let me go ahead and spin that.

This guy stinks over here.

I'll make one for you.

All right.

How about you over here?

Let me go back here.

Yup.

I'm not going to miss that.

Then the fan tries to do it, bud.

What are you doing?

Just try to make it in your own there.

Like what you're doing.

Eli spinning it like that.

And then Giants fans see that.

And then Russell Wilson goes out there and puts one in a tunnel.

It's what it used to be.

Why are they having Eli out here?

He also hosts a show right for Giants.com.

Yes.

that's correct.

The Eli Manning show.

So you guys,

you guys are forced to watch the good times

every day.

Eli, competent quarterback.

John O'Hare, got good leadership out there.

Tom Coffin, we're doing cough one time.

We're winning this entire thing.

And then you guys roll out there and you get the chance to watch this New York Giants team.

And

that would be tough.

Did you hear them?

And they're a pretty dramatic group over there, too, I think.

Yeah, yeah.

It gets worse than that, too, because if you really think about it, they had six years to pay guys to block for Daniel Jones, and he'd be a Hall of Famer, and they decided not to do that.

They're never in the trenches with AQ Shipping in a good way.

Never.

Let's go to the next overreaction, AJ.

This is from Danny Dimes equals franchise Viagra.

Amen.

Whoa, let them.

Okay.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

thank you, Brian Dable.

Since that big thump dip shit couldn't figure out how to unlock the most talented person to ever play the quarterback position, Colts get super bowl first saquon now dimes somebody put mara on suicide watch i'm worried for the guy i do wonder what it's like for mara to watch danny just do what he's doing right now

only team in history to have no turnovers and win this amount only team in history only have one punt through the first three weeks so not only is it like we're not punting it's like we're not turning it over we just score all the time danny dimes just scores all the time i think it's like uh 70 of the scoring drives or scoring drives or 80 of scoring drives or something like that i forget what it is it's it's absolutely insanity And Danny Dimes is the maestro of it all.

And Danny Dimes is the new piece that's just been dropped in there alongside Tyler Warren, who is filthy as a football player.

The Colts are in a great spot.

And I do assume that Mara is having a couple of, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

He's able to, did we know he was able to, was he also,

what could he do to, why weren't we?

And now we're thinking over here in Indy.

Thank you for burying this guy under hell.

Basically where he was for a long time.

Media, everything, just getting attacked.

This dude's gotten so callous that he's just so locked in.

Nothing can really bother him.

And he's seen every defense.

He's just very comfortable in front of everything.

And Shane Steichen offense, very complicated.

I think there's a lot of shit going on in there.

You're seeing him get to his third read a couple of different times.

You're seeing him shift and pick up blitzes and dude.

And that shit, it's like they weren't able to do that, obviously.

Shane Steichen wasn't able to do that for a while because we had new quarterback, new quarterback, new quarterback, quarterback that's never played football and has never seen any of it.

And then boom, now we got Danny Dimes.

dimes shane steichen's sleeping a lot better too shane steichen's thanking day ball greatly for everything that's going on right now well for mara it's not just i mean the winning and everything and the saquan stuff sure but like all these stats that we're seeing come on it's like hey guess what peyton manning never did this with the colts peyton manning isn't even as good with the colts as danny dimes is right now so it's that extra little knife in his back like hey not only did you get rid of daniel jones who's very good you may have gotten rid of the next coming of peyton manning as well so here's just a nice little reminder for that every time you open up your phone.

All the ownership is looking, I wish I could get Peyton Manning.

They're like, Mara, actually.

We need Dave Jones.

AJ, your thoughts on if a player can have this.

I mean, we saw it with Baker, I guess is what people would say.

We see it with Sam Darnold.

Seattle might be, you know, you never know.

Could be seeing it with Mac right now.

Could be seen with Mac Jones with San Francisco.

What's next for him?

We shall see.

You know, it's like Carson Wentz right now with KOC.

Gino, of course.

Gino Smith, now full-time guy, face of the franchise.

It's like, is this another one of those situations?

It sure looks like it.

I mean, he's definitely proven you right, I think, Daniel Jones and the team, but it just shows you like the quarterback position, especially in the NFL, like you rely so much on, A, whoever that offensive play caller is, your offensive line, and then your weapons around you, and you have a run game.

Like, you're just relying on so many things around you.

Daniel Jones definitely has all those pieces in place around him, and the dude's absolutely taking advantage of his opportunity.

The fact that if he was just a game manager and hadn't turned the ball over, they may still be be 3-0 until he'll be playing well.

But he's not turning the ball over and throwing, pushing the ball downfield, making big plays, throwing, putting the balls in windows that like he normally hasn't done in the past.

So he and Steichen, they got something figured out, man.

And credit to this O-line because they look good, too.

Well, and what sucks even more, just on the opposite end of that spectrum, and maybe there's an overreaction in here, is like how far off some people can seemingly fall.

Like CJ Stroud, after his first year, was going to be the one, and he set all those records.

And now the Texans, people i i saw people and i don't agree with this whatsoever but i saw texas fans on the internet with real names and check marks going for d'amic o' ryan's head art no i saw what we three of the nfl season though yeah the stats say if you stink early you're gonna stink late people are saying numbers and everything that has happened in the history of the nfl are telling us this team sucks you need an offensive line Need a good offensive line.

Need a good play caller.

Let's go to the next overreaction here.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But,

says Lotto, I'm sick and tired of Paisano Petolo's conservative play calling.

You can tell Siriani tied him up at halftime in a cuck chair and said, let the big dogs eat.

Jalen is keeping the main thing the main thing.

Giants and Cowboys still suck-ass go birds.

Now, is there anything else you think that he wanted to say that maybe didn't make the tweet?

Or why did you pick this one in particular?

For me, at the start, it was the Alex Jones avatar with the Philly ball cap on top of his head.

I laughed pretty good when I saw that, so I said, why not?

But most of them still, like, no, it's the same deal with the Siriani.

Like, there are a couple different versions of this, but everyone still thinks this offensive coordinator sucks.

I mean, after a day like yesterday when they're getting beat as bad as they are, and you just, you chalk that up to a loss.

Like, hey, there's no way we're going to win this game.

And kind of everything we've talked about.

Then finally, he opens up the playbook, and Jalen Hurts looks amazing.

He starts throwing the ball downfield.

They're scoring touchdowns.

They win that game.

And still, afterwards, all people care about is this offensive coordinator fucking sucks.

First half, he was calling plays.

Second half, that was clearly somebody else.

That's what they just said in this tweet, basically.

Yeah, exactly.

And to be clear, I don't like that it did appear as if he didn't trust Jalen really.

Yeah.

Like, this guy's won a Super Bowl, bro.

This guy's done more than you have done with football.

So, like, other people, you know, thinking that Jalen maybe isn't able to do all the things with their arm, with his arm that maybe the greatest throwers of all time can do is a thought that a lot of analysts had and pundits had.

And I assume even some Philadelphia Eagles fans had last year.

It's like the offensive coordinator can't be a guy that thinks that.

Like the offensive coordinator has to be a guy that

my guy can make every fucking throw, you know?

So it's like, if the play calling was because it's like we got a good offensive line, we got Saquon.

We don't know if we got this.

It's like, you fucking do know, dude.

Dagger in the Super Bowl.

Biggest moment.

He calls it.

He drops it in a bucket.

Other quarterbacks that can't do it miss that throw.

Yep.

I like that they let Jalen Eat a little.

Yeah, we saw it in the Super Bowl.

bowl we saw it in the first super bowl when he was matched up against uh mahomes where he outplayed him and had pretty much an mvp that year and even his last year in college when he was in oklahoma he threw the ball around the yard a ton so you know he can throw the ball some of it's uh uh on jalen as well because he doesn't take those type of risks just knowing his team knowing his defense knowing the run game saquon you know absolutely killed the rams last year in their matchups went for big big uh gains on the ground so i understand it once they sometimes you just have to do it so once you get behind 26 to 7, and you kind of let that thing fly, because you have big-time playmakers, one of the best wide receiver duos on the outside, and let them actually throw the ball down the field.

I just love that he actually did it.

And now, we'll see if they continue to do it.

But it's kind of been a cycle with Eagles coordinators.

You had Shane Steichen, he goes off, be a head coach.

Brian Johnson came in, believe he got fired pretty quickly.

Kellen Moore, he came in, he was good, went on to become a head coach.

So, now we may be on that cycle with what is it, Petulo.

We'll see if he continues to stink or if he gets better.

I love Kelly Moore.

Kelly Moe.

Love Kelly Moe.

Boise East State love Kelly Moore.

I seen Kelly Moe when he was with the Lions.

I don't know if he was coaching or playing.

It was somewhere pretty deep in his career.

15

yard line, crossbar.

Nail it.

20-yard line, crossbar.

25-yard line, crossbar.

I was so fucking impressed.

This is pre-pre-warm-up.

I'm out there punting some balls.

They're out there just kind of dicking around, throwing the ball.

And my God, and every ball was just so pretty.

You know, it was just like, that's Kelly Moe.

So I want to say I have respect for Kelly Moe.

He needs to not dress the way he's dressing as a head coach.

He needs to start looking like an adult.

Okay.

Why does he look?

He looks like a 12-year-old.

He naturally looks.

He's like a suit or what?

Just something.

Maybe.

You know, suit will be.

Who do you like?

Head coach of swag.

I like the...

Liam College.

Yep.

I like Liam, sleeveless with the long.

I like that.

You talked about Raheem Morse.

I think the hats suck this year.

They do.

Those small ones?

The tiny logo and everything.

Yeah, it should be an option.

Yeah.

I don't think it should be every, you know, like some guy, like Shanahan always dresses cool.

Kyle Shanahan always dresses cool.

McDaniel.

McDaniel looks cool.

McVay looks cool.

Shane Steichen looks sweet.

You know, all the boys look sweet, actually, on the course.

We see it every day.

You don't get to see all the other coaches.

But Kellen Moore, I know he signed up for a tough situation down there.

He signed up for McDaniel is always cool looking.

Very tough situation.

Raheem Morris Morris has those cool pants.

Yeah, kind of pulled up a little bit.

And they lost by 30 when we brought it in.

That's not cool.

That was a team, though.

With no hat yesterday, it was weird.

That's weird for him.

Who?

Tomlin.

That was.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's the first time I've ever seen it.

Yeah.

Andy Reid looks cool.

Always.

Getting in Travis's face.

Hey, how about him throwing that thing?

He bumped Trav.

Trav didn't bump him.

Like, that was awesome.

He had to knock him down a pen.

Shut up, you fucker.

That's what he said.

Is that what Andy said to Travis?

That's what Andy said to Trav.

Yeah, right here.

Shut up, that sucker.

Just catch the ball and fuck off.

He does throw that thing at him a little bit.

Yeah, he does.

Travis looked like he was a little dying in the dumps, you know?

I like it.

That looked weird, man.

Wake up, motherfucker.

Wake up.

I think that's Andy saying, I don't have time for you to be moping around.

Yeah, I like it.

He said after the game, he liked it.

He liked it.

He needed some juice on the sidelines.

He's like, you're in your folklore era.

You need to get in your red era now, Travis.

Well, I agree.

I do want to know what they said.

That's what it was.

I think Andy potentially told him, enough with your bullshit.

Quit fucking pop.

Yeah, exactly.

You're Travis Kelsey.

I think it was a reminder of who he is, too.

I think it was a positive interaction, not a negative one.

For them to turn it on would be really cool this early in the season.

Yeah.

It's very against what they have done.

They better.

Because they're going to be on primetime, too.

And we need good games.

Yeah, but you got to think.

They're used to.

They just got to get healthy.

They just got to get healthy.

Two wide receivers coming back would be a big deal.

They got to block people, too.

That too.

Yep.

Patrick needs to stop.

Yeah, he had another one last night.

I know.

Two of them.

I think one got called back.

Yeah, they didn't run the ball last night.

The backwards passes, too.

I know he recovered it, and Collinsworth, you know, damn near lost his shit.

Calling it one of the greatest plays he ever seen.

But like that, that's that's.

And where did you get the first one?

That was the second one.

That was the second one.

I put Checheco.

Everybody got running back room back.

Pacheco backwards.

What are you doing, Pacheco?

Like, what route is that?

He thought he was on the other side of him.

He's swinging right.

Because there's so many D-linemen there.

Yeah, I can't.

I can't remember which way it was.

The pocket.

Because look, if you go back, there's a a pocket that way and a pocket behind you.

He's like, oh, fuck.

I'm going to score.

Throw me the ball.

There's two pockets.

Yeah, you can see how he gets confused out there because he's just in the moment.

That's two backwards.

Two of them.

On within five plays, right?

Weren't they?

Yes.

Damn near.

What a play by Patrick.

Legit.

It was unbelievable.

Legit.

I legitimately.

How do I tweak this while acknowledging what the fuck?

But then also, yo,

what a save there.

That's a great play.

Defensive players,

I think, are dreaming to do their whole life.

Oh, yeah.

That's the eyes are litting up.

Yeah.

Let me go ahead and get into body and strip and then end up on it.

And then the guy doesn't even land up on top.

No.

So he doesn't even take like a big shot afterwards.

There's really no...

About as clean as it could be.

Yeah.

Guys off him.

No hits.

It's over.

Plays over.

It's like a trade.

It's perfect.

Yeah.

Anyone else's draft pick?

That's Bobby, right?

Bobby O.

You did.

Bobby O'Karaque is his name.

Always has been, but at one point he did pronounce it Okariki.

And I don't know if he actually pronounced it that way.

Others did.

I feel like we're getting more of that.

More guys just either pronounced their name a certain way or just changing it, you know, five years in their career.

Like, actually, call me this.

You're talking about Rob Mack, writer of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

Yeah, he just changed his name.

Yep.

It was a small name.

Bajan.

Broncos.

Bijan.

A-Chan.

Yeah.

A-chan.

Even fucking Denzel Washington came up.

What's his name now?

He said his name is supposed to be Denzel.

Fucking Denzel Washington?

Denzel, I apologize for being a part of any misconstrued information about how your name is pronounced.

I want to let you know, I was saying I love Denzel Washington a lot.

Feels like that's disrespectful now.

I will go back and correct that with everybody I said it to.

And I wish I had more time to be able to do that.

But Denzel Washington from here on out, if that's what he wants to be called.

That name sucks.

Whoa.

Do we have to call this kid David Washington now, now too?

We haven't heard from him.

Okay.

We haven't heard from him.

Jeez Louise, dude.

Benzel Washington is

the coolest name ever.

I had a brother named.

Benzel Washington sounds like a princess.

I'm not calling you Darius.

I'm not doing it.

Well, actually, Darius.

Darius is good with me.

Darius is sick.

I just say sick.

That's an astrology like

that.

Tootie would be cool, too.

That's exactly actually how you pronounce it.

What's that?

That would be be a soft O on that thing?

It's actually, that's more of a shortening.

You'd have to call me Antuni.

Antuni is not a bad name.

All right, let's go to another overreaction.

This one's from Rube

at H Town Clears.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But, but, okay, like that.

Yep.

Two butts, R.I.P.

and Peace.

The Texans are cooked.

And the S2 test was right about Shroud the whole time.

We need to fix the O-line fast.

Otherwise, we're going to see Davis Mills taking snaps by the end of the season.

We all know Dougie Mills is a good player.

Give him a player.

He's so lucky.

We know Dougie Mills is a great ball player, loves the game, loves the sport, loves his teammates.

I don't like that this

golden, what was the thing called?

Gold standard S2 test?

I think it was the S2.

S2 cognitive test.

Yeah, there it is.

But remember, there's so many different parts.

To take one part of the test out of context with everything else is rude to CJ.

Well, what's everybody else's score?

Well, we're not going to say that.

It's like, well, can you tell us the rest of his scores?

We're not going to say that either.

No.

What about on a graph?

Where is it?

Yeah.

Can you just tell us what is the mean?

Median?

Can you say a lot of these have been coming out?

A lot of those.

A lot of these coming out.

So you'd see in those huge in football stats.

Dan Jones isn't even on it.

The data, folks, I feel like I'm going back to stats class.

Literally, they're just popping up and I'm like, what the fuck is the X accent?

And then they use some shit and I'm like, I don't know what that means.

And And then I go with the Y and I'm like, what the fuck is that?

And then I see the colts top right.

And I'm like, that's good.

Fucking good.

Well, this one's going to be a good one.

That's where we want to be.

That's where we want to be.

Quadrant, yeah.

G1, I believe.

Yeah, upper right quadrant.

One, two, three, four.

It goes to the point.

Yeah,

they go clockwise.

I do.

Counter.

I thought.

Oh, that was one, two, three, four.

But the way I'm doing it is backwards to you.

Is that clockwise?

Counterclockwise?

Yeah, I thought it was.

Is one top left?

I thought one was top right and four was bottom right.

Interesting.

So you want to be up and to the right to Q2?

No, Q1.

Top right is one.

But in what you're saying, Q2.

What you're saying is Q2.

So top right is Q1, top left is Q2, I thought.

Top right?

Q1.

Q1.

Yep.

Top left?

Two.

Oh, so it is counter.

Yeah, counterclockwise.

I want clockwise down here.

Yeah.

Like, no, you don't want to do it.

Now, why would I ever do that?

That's

four touchdowns.

Why would you ever do do that?

You wouldn't want to do that.

That's the worst one.

Bottom, or no, bottom left is the worst.

Three is the worst one.

Stats class was certainly something.

I felt like I was outmatched in there for real.

I didn't really know.

Mumbo jumbo.

Stats kind of suck.

A lot of words, dude.

Bell curves.

Algebra.

Algebra.

Day one with the bell curve.

You need algebra.

Algebra's the best.

What about the linear curves?

The outliers, all that shit.

I get it.

It was a good class for me to take, but fuck, every day was word, mumbo, jumbo.

Sign, cosine on the calculator, or you had to do the cos.

No, let's just go to chemistry, the significant figures or the sicky figures.

Yep, yep.

Yeah, those things are a whole nother animal.

What do I need to learn these for?

Fuck.

So I can say it one day.

Physics.

Physics sucked ass.

I think I got out of that one every day.

I like physics because it was similar to algebra, if I remember correctly.

My teacher was easy.

We didn't do any work.

I just hated the book.

Was he looking at it?

Boring.

It was boring.

It was stupid.

Just carried around.

Nothing in it that helped me.

What is Ohio?

Ohio High School curriculum.

You doing...

Pretty good.

Yeah, not me.

All right, son, you graduate.

Here's your diploma.

Yeah, maybe some places.

Maybe some places.

I don't like that, AJ.

I don't like that.

What was your favorite mathematics?

I told you, my brain does not compute numbers.

I am definitely disabled when it comes to numbers.

Okay, so you're not an arithmetic guy, the most basic form.

You don't want to.

If someone's saying numbers or puts numbers on a a sheet, I just shut down.

That's probably called something, I assume.

I assume.

Yeah, it's called learning disabled when it comes to

phobia.

I've been tested.

Yeah.

Tell you, well, congratulations.

Thank you for showing that you can still make it all the way back to the tape.

No, it's good because

other things are very high because it's so terrible in math.

I like other things.

You lose one sense, you gain another, folks.

Oh, yeah.

That's true.

The pest, thrown like Wazamo.

Bingo.

Never forget it.

One of the goats.

He was a blind man working the street, obviously, but he could hear somebody swinging at him.

That's all he was able to miss.

Yeah, you lose one sense, you gain another.

That's what AJ's like with his brains and his intelligence.

Daredevil.

That's amazing.

Football.

Way high.

I mean, I wonder what he lost when he got rid of his shrimp allergy because he definitely lost something for that.

No, he's never because he gained the allergy.

I'll tell you what he's gaining.

I did too.

Great hair.

What's that?

Shrimp allergy.

You have it.

You got it.

You got it.

Well, I haven't tried it.

I turned 25 and just got sick.

I got a plan for everything.

All shelf.

Just shrimp.

Just shrimp.

AJ Fox.

Yeah, he'll get it it.

Oh, she can have crab still?

Crab, lobster, fucking.

Just not shrimp.

It's not shrimp.

Mussels.

Are you sure he didn't have some weird bad shrimp?

Nope.

Three different states.

Boston, Charlotte, then Florida.

Wow.

So yeah.

Three times.

Yeah, that's a good tattoo.

Three times.

Yeah, three different topics great shrimp towns.

Have you had any here in Indianapolis, though?

Our shrimp, I think.

Brady knew the most fresh.

Nope.

Okay.

Indianapolis seafood.

So shrimp?

Pretty fresh.

A lot of catch

here.

A lot of guys?

Yeah, fresh catch on guys every morning.

Yeah, shrimps and

geist.

Monroe Lake.

The thing about it being at

a Geist Lake thing

is it tastes sweet, tropical, and spicy.

Okay.

Coming out of there.

You know what we're talking about?

Oh, yeah.

Raise a little hill.

Raise a little water.

Get the scrimp down there.

I think I've been to a scrimp farming place.

Oh, really?

They're in Louisiana down there to buy you now.

I think so.

I think I've been there.

Maybe.

I think it was short.

That'd be fun.

China?

A scrimp bog.

Ooh.

Is that like a field with a bunch of water?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Scrimps wouldn't be in there, but I was just thinking in like a swamp in Louisiana where a bunch of scrimp are just kind of in like a little bog.

But I don't think they're.

I always thought Forest and

Bubba always had that one.

They did.

They were out in the ocean.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Alabama.

Yeah, that's far away now.

I mean, I assume it was Louisiana.

I bet they take you on a good shrimp hunt.

I don't know.

Could have been Crowddad, though.

Yeah.

Could have been.

Crawdad, you get those in Pittsburgh, you know that.

Crowdad.

Go out to the crib.

Yeah, in the cribs.

All right.

We don't eat them anywhere near as much as the south does.

Those motherfuckers order them in 10-pound bags.

Oh, yeah.

What is it?

Crawfish.

Oh, crawfish.

Yeah, you lift up a rock.

They're right underneath there.

Crawdad.

Suck the life out of it.

But in the south, they boil the shit out of them.

Crawfish, boil.

And you buy them in like a garbage bag.

Can I take five pounds of crawfish and you just put it in a fucking bag?

And then I think they even dig a hole and they'll fucking

boil.

Yeah, do the whole

thing.

Dump them on the table.

Yeah.

Throw the lemons and all that.

It looks good.

I don't know if it tastes good.

I was there one time.

It was electrifying.

It was quite a vibe.

I mean, music's playing, obviously.

We're drinking.

This shit's out here.

Then they talk about sucking the head.

That's all they talk about.

I'm telling you, that's what they said.

I had the same reaction you did, but I guess it's a culture thing.

They're twisting, pulling, and sucking the fucking head.

This guy down here has sucked the head.

Somebody said.

I was like,

I don't know what he would.

Really?

Yeah, it's good.

It's a good time, though.

I will say, Crawfish Bowl is a good time down there.

They have a great time down there.

How was that Gator?

Moon.

That was a Gator.

So I don't know if I ate the Gator or not.

I had the burger that was in the Gator's mouth.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

But it never got clarified to me if that was a Gator burger or not.

Oh, okay.

Like, I will say the burger probably not the best thing on the item, especially with,

it appeared as if they made that burger maybe the night before.

Okay.

The one that they put in the gator.

Yeah, sure.

Reheat it and put it in the gator's mouth.

I assume that gator was not supposed.

That was full show.

I immediately grabbed Gator head.

You know, we talked about Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on that Gator that lived a long life, died in its sleep.

Yeah.

For sure.

But I don't know.

I think that might have been like Sho Burger.

You think they were standing off stage and you're like, oh, shit, he's grabbing the showburger.

All the other things.

The wings were very good.

There was like a little

string.

String cheese?

Motze?

Motz.

Pork.

String cheese is good.

Oh, pulled pork?

Pulled pork out there.

Pulled pork out there.

There was a lot of good.

I don't know what the gator was, is what I'm saying.

It was mixed in there.

Yeah, it was somewhere in there.

Gator bites in there.

I definitely had everything was good, except for the boga.

It felt like you weren't supposed to eat it.

Yeah, well, no matter what, it wasn't going to be as good as Governor Jeff Landry's Gator.

So at the end of the day, probably a smart move not having any Gato.

Is there a lot of Gator being ate down there?

Like in Florida, you guys eat a lot of Gaita?

No, I wouldn't.

We see them a lot, but

I don't know anyone that just eats Gato in the regular.

First time I ate Gator was at like Papado's in, I think, Houston.

What about like Central Florida?

But in the big Central Florida, deal going

eating anacondas, pie.

And the Everglades.

Yeah, you see, like if you grow up in South, you live in South Florida, you're going to see Gators, but I don't see people eating them too much.

Okay, yeah, because it felt like that place was really good, by the way, the place that brought us.

Everywhere that brings us the food is like.

Top-notch.

They're very, very good.

We are very thankful.

And also, we need it.

Yeah.

Like, I know it's a segment and everything like that.

We are eating the shit out of that food as much as we can because it's an early start.

So you don't really get to eat beforehand.

So like we're going through the show, especially with sweating, it's like food gets brought up there.

It's a very good time to be like, yeah, thank you so much.

But boy, there is a real desire.

There is a desire to get some food in there.

So it's a necessity, I would say.

So we're very appreciative of everybody that brings their food out.

And it is always very good.

The gator, I don't know which one was the gator, though, which I think is kind of a good thing.

Yeah.

Right?

It should probably stand out a little bit now.

I don't know if it was a gator.

There's different sauces on a lot of things.

Yeah, I'm just saying.

The gator should be the gator.

You should know.

I'll tell you what, holding that head was an interesting scene.

And then Sabin eating it.

It was a big bite, too.

Oh, yeah.

Big old burger.

Got a gator mouth in there.

Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we?

Oh.

This is me.

This is not it.

No, Bill just said.

We got crabs in the parking lot.

What's that?

Excuse me.

Bill just said it.

The group said we got.

What do you mean we we got crabs?

There's a freaking crab out there.

What was coming to it?

Like a pet crab?

Like an actual crab.

That's what happens when you bury dead bodies around somewhere, right?

Crabs start showing up.

What is that?

Wait, what the?

They're coming for Bill's bodies.

Maybe.

Where would that come from?

That had to be somebody's pet, right?

Dead bodies.

That's a crawfish.

Okay.

What?

Is there water?

Is there water around it?

Like big old crawfish.

That's weird that it's in the parking lot.

That's not a crawfish.

Yes, it is.

Really?

Look at the claws on that thing.

Yeah, that is.

Big old claws.

What is that?

That's a fully mature crawfish.

Yeah,

like those are in geist for sure.

I'm guessing.

But I can't believe one's in our parking lot.

What?

They're in most freshwater lakes.

So I found them here twice.

I think the fish drop them here, try to crack them and eat them.

Or sorry, the birds drop them here, crack and try to eat them.

So I live on a lake about an hour north of here.

Birds, big fish.

They'll drop these fucking fish.

They'll go in and grab them, and then they'll be flying away away and drop them.

I've had them hit the side of my house like window.

And then the window is obviously just has a fish imprint on it.

And it's like, what the hell is that?

It's like, oh, the fucking bird couldn't handle it.

Then there was this weekend we were walking around the house on, I don't know if it's Saturday afternoon or Sunday or whatever.

And there's just the fish's head about this big fucking just sitting just right in the middle of our walkway.

You know, Mackenzie's like, what is that?

I'm like,

I don't know how to, that had to be the biggest fish of all.

That's nature.

That's nature.

Nature versus nurture here.

So you know those birds that live in that tree up there that are like the same size as you that we were kind of scared of?

Yeah, it turns out they're eating very big fish.

They're eating big, and every once in a while they'll just fucking throw them off the house, I guess.

I don't know what they're trying to get Chuck.

You ever seen like an eagle pick up like a goat?

And then it just finished drop it off the side of the mountains.

Like a deer or whatever?

Yeah, deer, goat, whatever, just drop them up.

We have two eagles that live on property.

Crazy.

And they are fucking gigantic.

Yeah, huge.

And whenever they open that thing up and you see their actual body, it's like,

America.

Yeah.

I got these Canadian geese right here.

I don't know if you heard about what they were doing in our national anthem, Eagles.

I don't know if you heard.

You know, I had a little, instead you just get a green dot.

And then for anybody that's battling against Canadian geese,

green laser pointer.

And you don't like

the top of a rifle, right?

On the top of your rifle.

What's that?

The green dot for on the top, like for your scope.

And then you're going to say you're actually going to use rifle.

Is that what you're saying?

i just assume that's what people do to mitigate the canadian geese no but

so some people like tim mcfee for instance i told him i'm like hey you need a green laser pointer that's what we need to ended up doing at my house uh because i had a canadian geese issue and my dad's like i had this thing on the fucker's eye

for 30 minutes tim was like taking it as a challenge if he could do it i'm like no you gotta

you're putting it on like the chat you're putting it so they can see the green thing and then they get scared and then they run like you just putting it on the eye certainly a great display of skill but like i don't think any of the other geese saw it he goes no they had to have seen it it was right in the eye i'm like you're trying to fucking scatter them basically that's what you're trying to do trying to make them think that and they'll leave forever is what i learned now there is a chance that tim mcfey came and killed all those geese yeah

with a sword yeah maybe just yeah

i got a i got a green light it's a laser thing that shoots really far and it actually lights things on fire so you could just give them a little it'd be like give them a little what it wouldn't light them on fire but it would like it would be real hot on them.

And if they stood still, it would catch flames eventually.

So they would not come back.

I was just thinking about it.

I've never used it on an animal or anything, but I'm just burning leaves from 100 feet away.

You got a laser?

You got a laser laser, is what it sounds like you bought?

Yeah, you know, like Instagram knows what they're doing when they market directly towards people, and they've done it to me.

And I bought two or three of them, yeah, over the last couple of years.

You've been influenced into buying an actual laser that lights them on fire from how it's amazing.

I'll get, I'll send a link.

I mean, it'll shoot really, really far, but I don't know how.

I don't know.

I mean,

it'll catch a leaf on fire from at least 50 yards.

That's impressive.

Have humans accidentally got in line with your fiery laser?

No, I'm very careful.

Very careful.

Okay, of course you are.

These geese, I guess, did you hear what he said at the very beginning of this thing?

Are you talking about green laser on top of your rifle?

He was thinking about lighting them on fire.

What's wrong?

No, no, it wouldn't light them on fire.

It would just

create a little hot spot.

How's it going?

It would create a hot eagle if they stayed there.

Is this even legal?

You're talking about fucking cinching people's earlobes from 50 yards?

50 yards away.

I didn't use it on a human.

No humans have to do that.

No, you did not, but I'm sure somebody could.

This is what we're talking about.

We can't have these things in the hands of this person.

Ohio people.

Personal protection.

Personal protection.

Lighting a motherfucker on fire in 20 minutes?

What type of shit?

If this laser, if someone stands still long enough to

catch on fire a human, it would probably take four to five minutes.

They're the toughest human alive.

It would burn a hole right through them.

Like, good for you.

You better move.

If you're getting this laser's on you and it's hot, you got to go.

Somebody comes into the house.

Somebody comes into the house.

Everybody into the bedroom.

You go, not fucking today.

And you grab this little laser and you just get that thing right on his chest.

Don't put it in his eyeball.

He's blind.

He's blind if it goes in his eyeball, probably.

What a nice, silent two, right?

Yeah, burn the redness.

Non-lethal, yep.

I had no idea we were at this stage of weaponry.

Sounds like we need to burn the fuck out of some people if they break into our house.

Might just have those things go off.

What was that movie?

The guy who has the Scottish accent, older gentleman, and the younger lady, who's

entrapment, maybe?

Oh, yeah, Sean Connery and Jennifer Lopez.

No.

Catherine's Eddie Jones, where she's dancing through the lasers.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe we just have our full house full of fucking fire lasers.

That'd be something I'm thinking about.

Yeah, got animals in there.

Would it burn down the house?

no because you're possibly oh yeah it might no they would have to shoot into each other so it just yeah would that not create some sort of chemical reaction of pure flames yeah but we'd have to obviously figure that out

we're just talking about maybe the front doors yeah theoretical maybe that's the front door oh yeah that's tower walk through get your leg sliced off heat right off yeah like hot butter

I don't like that AJ has how many of these do you have

25.

You know, I bought my first one.

I said, this is sweet.

It actually works like they said it would.

So I got one or two more.

Then I give them, you know, if I buy it and I like it myself, then guess what?

My brother or my dad's getting for their birthday.

One of these.

Spoiler alert.

They know.

Include the book.

I'll send him stuff sometime.

I'll drop ship him something.

Every once in a while, like my brother, I just did his birthday, August 31st.

Sent it to him and said, hey, let me know how it is because if it's sweet, I'm getting one.

Like, it was a cool fly gun shooter with CO2 and all that stuff.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, of of course.

Happy birthday, Ryan.

Happy birthday, Ryan.

Hope you enjoyed that fly gun CO2 shooter.

All right, let's go to the next overreaction here from I Capini.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

Michael Parsons is better off in Green Bay.

The Cowboys defense is hammered dog shit.

Jerry said the run defense was a problem.

The problem was hiring a piece of shit like Eberflux.

Our defense has made Russ and Caleb look like Tom and Peyton.

Hashtag fire GM Jerry, and I don't think that's an actual photo.

I don't think so.

I don't think that's an actual photo.

I could tell, I don't think it is.

AJ, do you think this is valid?

The defense, Iberflues, good defensive coach.

Remember the good old days when he was doing good stuff?

Yeah,

I don't know.

It's not looking great right now.

It's not looking like a great hire.

Iber Fluis yesterday had a chance for a great revenge game.

It went probably, I mean, probably as bad as it could, would you say, going against your former team, I guess, as the deep coordinator.

But he got some injuries.

He got some guys beat up.

Yes, but it's not looking great.

The defense better turn around quick because I'm sure Jerry's not scared to make moves.

Yeah, Jerry said,

who says we don't make a move right now?

And Iberfluz might get his ass fired if this happens again.

With that being said, forgot about a revenge game for Caleb.

Yep,

didn't talk about that at all.

No.

And if that's what sparks it all, good for Caleb.

Congrats to Ben Johnson.

What's that?

All of it?

All the Cowboy, like, soap, like the DJ Moore touchdown, if you just take a screen, a snapshot of right as Caleb is throwing the ball, he's just wide open.

Nobody within 10 yards of him on either side.

That's a number one receiver in the red area the cold commit touchdown same thing wide ass open like i understand a quarterback making plays but in the red area no one should be this this open especially if you're dropping eight defenders like they were on the uh dj moore touchdown it was all time bad like look look at this

back of the end zone middle of the end zone no like

Snatch the football league.

What are we doing?

Maybe it's good overreaction.

Let's go to another one here from Cody Perkins.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but the Tennessee Titans might be the first team to go in 17 with this guy as a head coach.

Hashtag fire Callahan.

Hashtag bring me John Gruden.

John Gruden in Nashville.

Sort of thing.

That's perfect.

Somebody's going to hire John Gruden.

Okay.

That's how I feel.

John Gruden has publicly said multiple times, I want to get back into coaching, man.

I want to get back into coaching.

Then there's going to be people that just look at his record and look what happens and then kind of the state of the world that we're in right now.

And they're going to be like, you know what?

Why not John Gruden here?

If he wins games, he'll be beloved.

And it feels like he's been more dialed into football right now than ever, or the same amount as he always has.

Do you think he's the answer with Cam Ward down there in Tennessee?

And what are your thoughts on Callahan, AJ?

Feels like I don't love the way he operates, but like to in the press conferences and stuff, but I'd be pissed too if my team was losing, I guess.

And if that's how he operates, that's how he operates.

Yeah, it would be really hard to be a head coach and have to deal with the press.

You know, it's part of the gig, but I can understand being a little frustrated speaking to them.

But he does seem to be on edge a bit, Callahan, Handley.

I guess it doesn't seem to be a whole lot of fun, but we all know it is not fun to lose, especially in the NFL on a big stage.

But going to John Gruden, if you have any idea, like if this guy is all in or he loves ball, like just watch a couple clips of him from what he's doing on the internet.

The guy is obsessed with football and could probably

rattle off five trillion plays that have happened that he's been a part of as a coach.

I don't want to say it, but it just came to my mind.

He gave a speech that made me want to fucking go run through a wall.

That team was Wisconsin that he spoke spoke to.

Ooh, boy.

Just stay there.

They did.

They ran into a wall and

off a cliff.

Yeah.

They didn't know how to play football.

What's going on over there?

Nothing good.

They need rooted at the helm.

I don't know if that's where John is.

I don't, yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know if he really cares where it is.

I think he just wants to be back in ball.

It is crazy where Wisconsin is at right now.

Like, where they have been the last like 25 years.

And now it's just like, like they're in that tier with when we used to talk about like Illinois and Northwestern.

Like maybe it's not quite that bad, but like.

Like Purdue, though.

Yeah.

They stink.

And Luke's good coach.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do they have money?

I assume they don't have much money.

I don't, I assume that is a part of every conversation for John Gruton, too, if he's going to get into college football coaching.

Can we win?

Can we keep up?

That's obviously question number one.

We don't know about Wisconsin.

But there's something with the roster, I guess.

There's something with the roster that was done.

so when he first took over they hired um the oc from north carolina his name chip lindsey maybe or something i can't remember his name phil longo phil longo yeah yes please thank you uh and that was a spread that was like a spread offense so they did that and then before that they had been recruiting for the wisconsin offense like big huge dudes we're going to play in a box or whatever so then they recruited for that and that didn't work and now they're going back to the old wisconsin ways after they had recruited for the spread for so long it's just like they don't i feel like they don't have an identity and they've their starting quarter quarterback has also gotten hurt the last three seasons, which also doesn't work.

Paul doesn't know.

Luke Fickle coming to a team near you that's going to have national championship hopes.

It's what's happening.

Feels like.

I don't know how many years he has left on the contract or guaranteed money, but Luke Fickle's name is going to be one that, like, we'd like him to become senior consultant here.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

Ohio State, probably.

Yeah.

Oh,

that's that.

You know, we're perfect for Gruden.

Fucking UCLA.

Yeah, right.

Fout in Cali.

UCLA UCLA spends no money on football.

Oh, they don't?

No, I don't think so.

How'd they get an eco?

Well, no one goes to the game.

That's a good question.

If they spend no money,

that's actually a good question.

Because the M.O.

is like not all in on football.

I don't know if his price was that high.

Yeah, wasn't that the big thing?

Is like the way he kind of did everything going in, it was like it spooked a bunch of teams and he kind of just got left over with what UCLA was willing to offer.

That's the whole conversation is do you have money?

Are we supportive?

What's the percentage of the rev share whenever that inevitably happens going towards football?

And then, you know, there's going to be a lot of people that don't care about any of that, just want to be a head coach somewhere.

So those teams are going to have to hit with that.

Well, and that's why with like the Gruden stuff, for like a guy who's all about football, you don't want to go fucking coach in college.

Like just looking at all that is required of you.

He might be great at it, though.

He might be.

But if the Tennessee Titans job, if he

hears that, he wants to coach in the NFL.

If all he is available to him is college, maybe, but he wants to coach in the NFL.

He screams, SEC ball coach.

And I think that's where he's going to end up.

He's public, he said it, right?

He would love to coach in the SEC.

What's going on with him and the NFL?

Are they still good friends?

Well, no, but I mean, like you said, you know, different climate now than when it was.

And I get we're not just going to kind of wipe away that from history and be okay.

I think it's still happening, though.

Yeah, it is.

I think it's still very much in his favor.

Yeah.

Which doesn't help for potentially getting back.

I'm just saying if everything is, I mean, and obviously he can't do that because that's that's a very big part of it.

But if that weren't, if he had the choice, he's obviously going to go back and coach in the NFL.

To Debut's point though, yeah.

I mean, we're a couple weeks away from Billy Napier football having it to run over in Florida.

I can tell you that much.

How far is Gainesville from Tampa?

Oh, I would assume probably two and a half, maybe three hours.

Then he live in Tampa, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's where his fired football coaches of America office is.

Where he used to go in there at 5 a.m., watch film every single day.

And then he had a vault there office, obviously dry erase board, ran his entire shit.

It's like this guy.

Him with Lagway?

Maybe.

Could figure it out.

I don't know.

And this Lagway, yeah.

He might be playing at Iowa next year.

Gronoski, how's Gronoski doing?

I don't know.

You tell me Iowa scored 38 points on Friday night against a vaunted Rutgers defense, and they're right back.

I mean, their only loss is against a team that's right on the outside of the top 10, so I don't know.

Are the playoffs still on?

I think.

So Mark Gronovsky had three rushing touchdowns, threw for another one.

Not too bad.

He threw for one?

No, actually, he didn't.

But he threw like 189 yards, which is still another

first play on Friday.

Yeah.

And he also unleashed a couple deep balls, which, you know, and we, Iowa actually caught those deep balls.

He wasn't just throwing them.

Oh, so it was like a punt play for you guys, but actually, it was an offensive.

Yeah, it was 38 points.

It's no joke.

Rutgers was undefeated.

Big one this weekend.

Big one this weekend.

For me, this is the

because you cannot.

You cannot let Indiana come into Kinnick and fucking put up 70 out of

10.

Indiana.

Indiana can.

No, I know they can't.

Check that he's Indiana can play with you.

That's what I meant to say.

Like, Indiana plays differently than every other team in the Big Ten.

They do.

This is not like your traditional, you know, like, hey, we're going to play Wisconsin.

They stink.

We're going to run it 65 times and we're going to end up beating them by 10 to 14 points.

Guess what?

You got to be scoring touchdowns against Indiana.

Yeah.

Because they're going to keep throwing and throwing.

Fernando Mendoza has played a lot of ball.

He has.

But they also, you know, would that game have been a little bit different had it been in Champaign?

As opposed to maybe not because they beat the fuck out of him.

Kinnick's a tough place to play, though.

It is.

And Signetti can't wait to go in there.

We're going to put on a show for them, kids.

We're going to wave at them.

We're going to let them know.

Whole thing.

This is New Indian.

You need to make Mendoza uncomfortable.

First possession, I want helmet to helmet when he's clearly out of bounds on the sideline Fucking hit him hard.

That cannot be happening.

Set the tone.

That is not allowed to be said.

Between the whistles, between the whistles.

No, he said when he's out of bounds,

clearly out of bounds.

Maybe take one step.

Maybe one step out.

You're saying we need to hamper this off.

Yeah, got to set the tone early.

Hey, okay.

You know what?

You're maybe going to be seeing 22 guys on defense instead of 11.

How are the Iowa graduates doing in the NFL?

You know, solid.

I mean,

Caleb Johnson, you know,

he had a bit of a blunder for Wyatt.

But that ain't why I got to start.

That ain't on him.

Okay.

This guy would fucking, you know, he didn't return kicks until his freshman year was the last time he'd returned kicks.

It was a couple times and he gets the NFL.

I say, hey, guess what, kid?

You're the fucking guy now.

I know you're 6'2 ⁇ , 250.

You got no business fucking back there returning kicks, but that's that's what we need from you.

Outside of that, you know, I mean, a lot of guys from Iowa are hurt right now.

LaForno's doing great.

Jack Jack Campbell's doing great.

Yep, obviously, you can fucking set your watch to those guys being great every year.

Worfs back next week.

That's what I mean.

Werfs, you know, Hawkinson's good.

I mean, there are so many goddamn hawks in the NFL.

I can't even, you know, Van Den.

Coop.

Yep.

Coop.

Obviously, D.

Butts have just been gushing about him week in, week out.

You know, so you haven't put a white person on any of your all-everything D-B.

It's early.

Oh, Riley Moss.

Did you even go around there?

Last year.

I remember that one time last year.

Yeah.

I saw a lot of paintings at Dez's house, too.

Good painting?

Beautiful paintings.

Beautiful.

What were they?

What do you mean?

What were they?

I was just looking around.

Why are you laughing?

I was just looking around.

But Des, this is the nicest decoration I've ever seen for a house.

Okay.

You've got a Heisman trophy.

It's just a fucking decorative piece.

Wow.

This guy's Super Bowl empty plate

and a Heisman and has an eye for like actual art and the way it's like his house is so nice.

i was really impressed by the whole thing backyard so sick i was gonna say is it like the indoor outdoor living kind of thing got a back yeah you can yeah yeah got a basketball court in the back big pool then he's got a gym off the end of the pool uh gym was shut down everything was closed i kind of just made myself home started walking around and then uh got autographs from everybody that's everybody in the history of football like just hall of fame row basically across the top and i shut the door his gym turned around started walking almost fell into his pool almost walked right into his pool almost everybody part of it just about over Part of it was just about over.

I almost fell right in the pool.

Not because if I was intoxicated or anything like that, just I was looking around.

Holy shit, this place is nice.

And I stopped.

I was literally right on the edge.

Right on the edge.

I might have cracked my head actually.

Yeah, so thank God that didn't happen.

It was beautiful, though.

House is so nice.

It was distracting.

That was kind of the issue.

That sounds nice.

All right, last overreaction.

This one's from Top Gun Hatch here.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

I seem to be stuck in fucking Groundhog Day, except it's not funny anymore.

It's the same Steelers offense and same Steelers defense.

Highest pay in the league, by the way.

Every week for six years.

Different coordinators, different players, same results.

Save me.

Groundhog Day is a great movie.

Okay, I love that.

I heard that maybe somebody was trying to change

that time.

Gumps, what did Bullrush tell us?

They were trying to do something with the Groundhog down there.

You remember that?

There was a conversation about maybe PETA didn't want it to happen anymore or something like that.

They're trying to get rid of Groundhog Day?

Yeah, I think that was something I heard.

Maybe there was a little bit of an uproar by the treatment of said Groundhog.

This fucker's living real nice.

Oh, yeah, exactly.

Living real nice.

And I'm about sick of it seeing its shadow and calling for winter for another six weeks, but that's what it does.

It's like Donardo.

It's more accurate than that.

How do you feel?

Whoa, whoa.

Fucking Groundhog's been throwing a pretty good game.

Remember, we want to.

Better than Donardo?

Yeah, fucking Joe.

I agree.

Joe said it wouldn't.

It did.

But this fucking Groundhog, the last, what, six years?

We want it to lose its head and its life every single Groundhog Day.

And And then we're waiting, what, five, six weeks later?

And guess what?

Fucking still winter.

He's right.

What's this Groundhog's name?

Puck Satani Phil.

Staten Island Chuck.

Staten Island Chuck is the imposter.

Well, there's and then they brought a lady in, too.

I think Phyllis, right?

Pucksatali Phyllis, because Phil was getting a little love.

Yeah, Phil wants to fuck.

So we have to.

That's kind of what they said.

So Phil did.

Yeah, and then little Phil came on.

Yep.

And I think there was something about the treatment, but these guys are living like kings and queens, obviously, Phyllis.

But Groundhog Day, good movie till it's not a good movie, especially if you're living in it.

Tone, is this guy accurate?

Do you think this is an overreaction or not?

Let me start with saying this: it's tough to win football games in the NFL.

That's right.

Well said.

Especially on the road.

Steelers went and did that.

But no, they looked the exact same.

Couldn't really block anybody.

Statistically, they have the worst third and fourth down defense in the entire NFL.

But they forced a lot of turnovers.

So if you could force four to five turnovers per game, I think they're going to be fine.

Aaron Rodgers is

awesome.

Like, he's been great.

There's pressure in his face every single play.

He made two of the greatest throws.

That one to obviously DK.

DK's been awesome too.

And then the one to Calvin Austin, the winner later in the game, the back shoulder throw was just so pretty.

Aaron's been great.

He just has no time.

And the defense can't get off the field nor stop the run.

So

yeah, I think the guy's pretty accurate.

Five turnovers.

yep, that's not bad.

That's great, yeah,

push it down in the end zone, Ben, but don't break, actually get the ball back, no points.

These Steelers fans, I saw Kaboli say,

These guys are never happy.

Talking about you guys, that's what Kaboli's entire.

Because we're a smart fan base, we have eyes, and we can tell if a team is a contender or not.

So, and you don't think they're a contender?

No, unfortunately, not.

Oh, no,

damn, not as of week three.

All right, made the Super Bowl ball, they can get better in the Stop the Rumble.

How do they do Stop?

Agreed.

They can get better.

They won.

Reminds you they had four for 18.

Well, and it was nice to hear Vrabel say this weekend, though, they have a lot of great players over there.

We just know exactly where they're going to be and what they're going to do on every play.

Frabel said that about the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yeah.

And then they literally just leave 14 points on the board because of a fumble.

Vrabel probably said, we fucking beat that team.

But he has to go tell the boys they gave that one away.

Five turnovers is tough stuff.

Yeah, hold on to the fucking ball, Mike.

How about that?

People in Boston are not happy this morning because there has been a side-by-side graphic of Gerard Mayo and Mike Vrabel that has hit the internet.

Oh, that.

Oh, no.

And they have the same record, one and two, to start.

Except Vrabel's team has about 20 more penalties and about six more turnovers.

Oh, there it is.

Boy.

Oh, no.

Not happy.

14 more penalties.

Five more turnovers.

Five of them for

14 more.

The biggest difference here, though, is one of them isn't just a complete doofus, and the other one's Mike Vrabel.

What?

Don't talk off a former teammate like that.

I don't know.

Okay.

My bad.

The other one went 4 and 30.

Numbers don't lie, okay?

I don't want to hear fucking feelings.

What do numbers say?

Okay, numbers don't lie.

So at the end of the season, if Vrabel is, I don't know, 5-12, then we can say it was right.

I do wonder about some of this turnovers, penalties, you name it.

Like that seems abnormal for a Varable operation.

Absolutely.

The fumbles for Ramondre Stevenson, no.

He has more fumbles than touchdowns in the last two years.

So that's expected.

That's kind of why a lot of people thought he would be a cap casualty because he's been doing this for fucking ever.

But

the other parts of it.

We had him on our fantasy team last year.

The other parts of it.

You draft it.

And we don't this year.

Like Drake May.

And we're good this year.

Drake May's fumble.

Very good.

Two and one.

Drake May's fumble.

That's just a rookie mistake.

Like, that's the stuff you expect to see.

But that's also the stuff you would rather see this year and have all the rookies in doing their fucking rookie shit than having vets in who are getting paid

doing rookie things.

But no, aside from that, I mean, Tony, me, Tony, and Nick talked a little after the game.

It's very easy to feel better about the Patriots today than it is the Steals.

Okay, how many years is Drake a rookie?

What do you mean?

What just?

Oh, oh, the rookie mistake thing?

Yeah.

I mean, he only made it through five games last year.

So if Anthony Richardson was a rookie for the first three years of his career, I think we can give Drake 16, 17 games.

I'm with it.

I'm on your side, by the way.

Oh, I know.

I know.

I'm on your side.

I picked the Patriots.

Yeah.

And he looks unbelievable.

It was just like, hey, Drake, little Carl Wentz here, right?

Three guys on top of you.

You're trying to shovel past it three yards forward.

Let's just take a sack on first down and live to fight another.

What quarter was that?

That was the the fourth quarter.

Oh, so this is post-concussion.

Post-concussion.

That was a great hustle played by Herbert.

Great hustle played by Herbig, though.

It was.

In his defense, he slammed his head off the turf harder than maybe any human being's ever done.

Yeah.

So before.

Yeah, it was a Wisconsin Badger sandwich.

Yeah, and then

did you see him crying after the play?

That was the hardest part, is that he stayed on the ground and kind of

kind of complained about it.

The Unk didn't even think about taking him out of the game.

No, no, they did.

The Unkh picked up the Unk grabbed the phone, but Drake May's daddy was was sitting right next to me.

He said, you better put that fucking phone down.

So my boy, ain't coming out of this game.

And his uncle said, blank.

All right.

Let's get to our picks.

We have faith in Drake.

I have faith.

I appreciate his toughness as well and the fact that he's the best athlete on the field.

So he wants to make every play happen.

These are young player mistakes.

It feels like Patriots fans are expecting that.

Steelers get a win.

Still not happy.

Love that.

Let's go to tonight.

AJ, you and I both not seeing the board exactly well.

D.Butch Butch said he isn't either.

Four and a half point favorites are the Baltimore Ravens at home.

Peter Schrager's there.

Looked like the backdrop was wonderful.

Yeah.

Looked like there was a little bit of a lighter filter on him, too.

I wonder if the sun was just hitting at a certain light.

That was kind of

brightening up our Peter Schrager, our Emmy Award winner, to let us know that tonight is going to be all about the big lights.

Tonight, it's going to be all about the stars.

Over under 53 and a half.

Tonight, it's going to be electrifying.

D.Butch, you can go first here, pal.

Do you like Detroit or Baltimore with Baltimore favored by four and a half?

Wait, I guess, is there any other lines?

It's four and a half across the board.

There is 64% of the money is on Baltimore and 78% is on the over.

Debut, what's saying that?

Yeah,

I love

that over.

I'm sure there'll be some great touchdown parlays put together tonight.

Also, love Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

I think they win this, and I think they win it handily.

I know the Detroit Lions put up a bunch of points

last week against the Bears, but I think Baltimore shows up.

What was his record against NFC?

24-2, 2 and i think 10 and 2 on monday night football something crazy something like that that's correct 24 and 2 against the nfc yeah i'm going lamar and the ravens how do you feel uh foxy about darius butler saying yeah one of these teams really good the other team was good last year no i don't blame d-butt at all because my brain has been saying all week that this one could be bad and i i don't love that but the last time they played we lost 38 to 6 and it was one of the worst games i've seen under the mcdc era but with that being said, my heart is saying maybe we ground and palm this thing.

Maybe we stretch the game out, make it short, run the ball, nine-minute possessions, score touchdowns.

The Ravens don't even get the ball.

And then I'll tell you guys this one.

This is what the stars are saying.

Tonight, we have a waxing crescent moon.

The Detroit Lions are 9-1 with a waxing crescent moon.

I'll just leave that.

What are the Ravens?

What are the Ravens?

I don't have that information.

Oh, interesting.

60, you know, they've never lost it.

interesting um

my brain has been telling me this could be bad yeah i don't know why my brain's saying that i don't like that my brain's saying that that's basically what

100 i think we should win this my heart's like yeah and then all of a sudden my brain's like shut up dude this is gonna be a blow the matchup's just so bad and the ravens are so good we have a very tough schedule this year i would say this is the toughest game all year long in Baltimore Monday night.

It's just very, very difficult.

And according to AI, 7-2 on monday night football 22 touchdowns zero interceptions who's that lamar jackson okay pretty good

pretty good uh aj who do you like how do you like it i was waffling a bit honestly until i heard dbut and d-butt just confirmed what i was leaning towards uh all along give me baltimore minus four and a half at home yep and we're both ass picking the spread this weekend so it doesn't matter what happens in this game i'll do a team ride If we're all rolling, I'll do a team ride with the AFC North, even though I like the AFC North.

And I like the Lions.

I like the Ravens a lot.

I like Lamar Jackson a lot, a lot.

And I hope Chuck Pegono has a great Monday night football experience.

Man, MC DC, though.

Chuck was watching the show.

Yeah, I was going to say, four and a half is

a large number.

Jeez.

At home.

Team that just put up 50.

That's got home record this week.

12 and 3 home teams.

I want to alt spread the Ravens to 9.5.

Ton really likes the Ravens.

All right, so who's this for?

It's got to be for the Lions.

Lions, yeah.

Need your logo to break it up.

Uh-oh.

I might go ahead.

Oh.

All right, sweet.

I'm taking the Ravens.

Boom.

All right, be a friend.

Tell a friend something nice.

It might change your life.

We're in this thing together.

Never forget it.

We've got a big one tomorrow overreacting to everything that happens tonight with BA in studio.

Yeah, hell yeah.

Anybody got anything?

What a weekend.

Hell of a week.

Fantastic.

Hell of a week.

Enjoy this primetime game.

It's a good one.

You never know when they're going to to be good.

And even the ones that are on the schedule, quarterbacks might get hurt.

So we got two healthy teams, two healthy offenses.

Enjoy some points.

Team on me.

Team on three.

One, two, three.

Team.

Goodbye.

Eight years ago, I blew my football career.

We dropped it at the one-yard line.

You've seen the headlines, heard the debates.

The three-point ball has created a monotonous rhythm to the game and others.

Has the three-pointer ruined basketball?

And how did we get here?

The rise of the three-point shot can be partially traced to an eccentric Kansas genius named Martin Manley, whose story didn't turn out quite the way he imagined.

I decided I wanted to have one of the most organized goodbyes in history.
