PMS 2.0 1408 - OVERREACTION MONDAY, NFL Week 2 Recap, MNF Doubleheader Preview, Adam Schefter, Terence "Bud" Crawford, Comedian Adam Ray, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the thunderdome on this magical overreaction Monday September 15 2025 this program begins now

Football is the greatest we just finished the second NFL Sunday slate we have two Monday night football games tonight one of them will start at around 730 the other one starting way too late none of us are gonna be able to watch it but if we do happen to be up at that time we got two games tonight that are going to be magical until about 2 a.m.

And then when we wake up tomorrow, we'll be able to wrap up the entire week two of the NFL sleep.

But until then, we'll just have to chit-chat about what happened yesterday.

Buccaneers, Texans, Chargers, Raiders.

College ball was great.

The NFL Sunday was great.

I was watching Red Zone at the beginning early because we had to travel downtown to Indianapolis because the Colts hosted their first game of the season, their second game of the season, I'm sorry.

And the Broncos came in there first and only non-one o'clock game of the year.

Okay, so one o'clock's late across the board.

This is a four o'clocker.

Big one.

Yeah, had to take last year

all one o'clock is.

That's right.

So kind of nice.

This kind of did change the entire routine a little bit yesterday.

So I found myself like, all right, at the very beginning, I'm going to have to catch on it.

Then I'm going to have to drive down.

I'm going to have to catch back up.

I was on red zone.

The first six minutes of red zone were just

then they said something, Maria Taylor last night said something along the lines of like highest scoring at the NFL Sunday for through the first 10 games ever, or second highest of all time.

It was explosive yesterday, early from one o'clock all the way through the ending.

Yeah.

Sunday night football.

Wow.

Must watch, must stay awake type game last night.

What are the Vikings?

I think we're all going to try to figure out.

Shout out to the Falcons.

We just keep that thing moving forward.

But it's not just me here chit-chatting today.

No, we got a great group of people stopping by.

Scheffter will join us in about 14 minutes or so.

Then we have Terrence Crawford in the second hour.

But fresh.

Wow.

Out of a massive Saturday night in Las Vegas, where he is the undisputed super middleweight chump, you know, the world.

42-0-0 after a massive win over Canelo Alvarez

in what people are calling the fight of the century.

And now he's being called the fighter of the century.

We don't know all the financials, but we're thinking Bud won potentially $50 million.

So we are incredibly thankful that he is joining us, fresh off a massive one.

People thought maybe the weight

disparage was going to be a problem.

Canelo, a little heavier, obviously.

Terrence had to go up.

Afterwards, Terrence Crawford said Canelo wasn't even the hardest hitter.

You know, a lot of people think because Canelo is a hard hitter and he's heavier than Terrence, that could potentially feel a little different whenever that thing's coming at the body.

Now, Terrence wasn't getting peppered too much.

He took a couple shots to the head for sure, but he said it wasn't the hardest hitter he's ever fought.

And he looked very comfortable prepared for that entire thing.

And now Bud can say he's the greatest fighter on earth.

And he should feel very comfortable saying that.

We'll get a chance to chat with him about 140.

Then we have Adam Ray, you know, comedian.

You know him as Dr.

Phil Joe Biden.

He was also Vince McMahon and Young Rock, amongst other things.

He's in Indianapolis, was at the game with us.

He'll join us for the third hour whenever we go digital in this entire thing.

The boys are here.

Talks at the table at Boston Connor.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Doing the Patriots get a big-time win.

At Ty Schmidt, congrats to you as well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now, one half of the hammer.

Done.

Cowboys, AP Tone.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Pittsburgh Steelers lose their home opener against the Seattle Seahawks.

We will certainly chat about that throughout the day.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans are

a little bit intrigued on what's about to take place.

Who are we more mad at?

Okay, who is it?

Justin Fields kind of did his thing.

Yes, he did real good.

More than kind of.

Sam Donald just kind of does his thing.

Yeah.

More than kind of.

We got a 41-year-old quarterback, two picks.

Certainly problematic.

The hell is going on with the defensive side of the ball there's a lot of convos happening in pittsburgh are you okay one to ten panic level ten being full panic one being before the season when you guys were winning the super bowl panic level uh was at a 10 yesterday then i heard my leader aaron rogers say it's only week two we're good so i'm back down to a zero

wow

that's the type of leadership they don't talk about with aaron rods he doesn't mean that what are you talking about does not mean that i i get it and you're right because i've been in those shoes before hey don't panic don't panic this guy's out of 10 he's out of 10.

there's he may not say it but we all know this guy is out of 10.

yeah as he should be maybe i there's another team that maybe should be panicking a little bit more in this particular thunderdome let's go to the other half of the hammer

cowboys bubba gampino the dolphins are

already pal i saw you chanting nfl over the weekend and i see you're wearing a west virginia tarp uh what's going on for the rest of the season lad it's a quick one it was a quick nfl season this year.

Yeah, I'd argue it was over after the first quarter at the Loudhouse, to be fair.

I mean, this team is absolute shite.

Willie Gay is maybe the best player at camp.

He's played two snaps all season, came on the field yesterday, makes a tackle, makes another tackle for a five-yard loss, doesn't play again.

Then two is throwing picks all over the place, missing Tyreek Hill.

It's just, it's a disaster.

I saw McDaniel's head down.

You guys were in the game, though.

It was an actual dogfight with the New England Patriots.

You guys were in that thing.

You might have won that thing.

A couple of times, we take a kick, a punt, then they take a kick.

I mean, that was like an electrifying game.

But now we're celebrating Mike Frabel's first win as a New England Patriot headcup.

Yeah, you're damn right.

We're sobering Drake May, baby.

19 and 23, 230.

He's running all over the place.

There was a very similar play to Anthony Richardson where he got blitzed off the side.

Drake sees it immediately, escapes the pocket.

I mean, it's just one of those things where you look at it.

And maybe we don't this year, but you know, I can see it.

You know, you can see a Lombardi on the horizon.

You can see Drake May and Mike Vrabel raising one together.

And after the game, you know, not everyone sees the post-game stuff.

It's not for everybody.

Vrabel said, hey, it will always be all about the players.

I don't care that it's my first one.

This is you boys.

Him and May are very, very close.

They had a great little interaction.

And that throw right there, that's the play of the day.

Down by five late in the third quarter.

Patriots need to have one.

Ramondre Stevenson, who actually kind of revealed his father passed away.

It's been real tough for him during the offseason.

This was kind of his play.

He said his dad would have loved the game he had.

Didn't score, but

here's the cookie right there.

Oh, oh, oh.

Nice try.

Nice try, baby.

We got an athlete I could be now.

Yeah, Drake May,

good.

Maybe Patriots bad was a thought yesterday as the Miami Dolphins were winning that game.

Sure.

And then all of a sudden the Patriots come back and win.

It's like, nope, we got the hit factor.

What do we even talk about?

We're not going to lose.

These games have been magical, and the storylines are obviously developing greatly i don't know if any of those teams are gonna be in the first 15.

let's go to nine-year nfl vet dari shade baller

D-bucked great football yesterday across the board.

The NFL is swinging a hot bat.

So is college ball.

It was.

You know, obviously we're all in the live house yesterday, so it was hard to even see outside of what was going on in that building with the start that this team has had, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Some beatdowns kind of around the league.

We got a lot of things to cover.

Yeah, on that note, ladies and gentlemen, it is for the first 15.

Please put the clock up.

Here we go.

And let's get started.

Number five to Debutsch's points.

The best brought some beatdons across the board.

Now, obviously, the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, they're good.

Chuck Pagano back in a much better way this week than he was maybe after week one.

He's celebrating the greatest passing quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Lamar Jackson's passer rating is now the highest in the history of the league.

Look at him holding the ball right there.

No, Lacey doesn't need him.

Oh, yeah, he also happens to run a 4-2 and is the most elusive guy on the field.

So not only can he get it done as a running back, a quarterback with his arm being the best ever, he's also got an entire team around him filled with absolute dogs.

They end up beating the hell out of the Browns.

41, 17.

D.

Butch, your thoughts on this game?

I mean, this game just absolutely dominated on the offensive side of the ball.

A lot of chirping.

I think Conman touched on it last week.

A lot of chirping between both of these two teams in the headlines and the Ravens got it done.

Browns did do a good job with Derrick Henry, kind of sealing him up.

But Lamar Jackson, you mentioned it, the all-time leader at pass the raider rating, and also the all-time leader at the quarterback position when it comes to rushing yards.

So, a beat down within the division here, Ravens, Browns.

Let's talk about in the division beatdons.

Guess who's back?

Back again.

Brand new Lions are back.

Tell some friends.

MCDC, MCDC, MCDC's got the boys buzzing.

The Detroit Lions, 52.

Chicago Bears, 21.

At the beginning, though, Chicago Bears scored 14 points early.

So it looked like, oh no, the Lions stink.

This is the same old Lions.

Maybe Calvin Shepard, former teammate of ours, friend of ours, should not be handling his press conferences the way he's handling them.

Maybe he was speaking a little bit too much cart before the horse, where he's saying, we don't make excuse to play football, had a little bit of an edge to him.

Hey, you haven't done anything as a DC, is what some people were saying about this man.

And then 14 points are scored pretty early by by the Chicago Bears.

Everybody's like, wait a minute, is this Lions team going to let Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, come into their house, roar all over their faces in a revenge game?

And then all of a sudden something just went like that.

And poof,

the brand new lions showed back up.

Same old lions for a while.

Then the brand new Lions showed up.

And I'll tell you, They just kept on going.

Yeah, they did.

And they ran that shit down their throat.

Ben Johnson, obviously coming back into town.

Welcome back, Bob.

We appreciate you going to the Division Rival.

Out of all the different places, you could have went.

Players mentioned that, fans mentioned that, and MCDC treated the game that way.

Are we all the way back to just believing the Lions are the brand new Lions and just get rid of what we saw in week one against the Green Bay Packers, who might be the best team involved, Debo?

The Packers might be the best team in ball.

Yeah, I'm all the way back on the Lions.

I wasn't too far out.

It's week one.

You know, week one is all about just getting a win.

How can you figure out?

a way to get a win.

Obviously, they didn't get it done.

It takes time.

It takes time to build some continuity with the play callers, with the players.

Jared Goff looked like his old self, getting the ball around, had the running game going.

Gibbs, Montgomery, St.

Brown, they all scored, I believe, for the ninth time, which is the most by any trio in NFL history.

Saw that on the oh no.

So I love that poof getting in there.

And I love the saltiness.

I love the saltiness by the Lions fans.

Ben Johnson coming back.

Way to welcome back, putting a 50 burger up on the board.

Yeah, 52 must be nice.

Foxy, today, a little bit better than one week ago from today.

Yeah, we're all the the way back.

Super Bowl is on.

Three touchdowns for St.

Brown, a touchdown for J-Mo, a touchdown for Sonic and Knuckles.

Jared Goff, five touchdown passes.

No, not Ass and Chief.

Jared Goff, five touchdown passes, no turnovers.

They looked incredible.

I am all the way back.

Congrats to Detroit.

We didn't want to celebrate your demise, but it did look like it was coming right in front of our eyes.

And instead, you're all the way back.

Did MCDs and M lions move that rock out of the cave?

Sure felt like it there.

there.

They are all the way back.

That was a huge statement for week two.

And then let's talk about the team that also, you talk about the Packers maybe being the best team in ball.

There's a team up there in Buffalo that had hard knocks.

That's the current MVP.

Buffalo Bills just absolutely smacked the New York Jets.

As we're watching this game take place, we're all wondering to ourselves, oh, no, this might not be good for the Steelers.

This might not be good for the Steelers because the Jets looked very good against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Justin Fields all over the place, spinning it, running it.

The defensive intensity and accountability for the New York Jets was exactly what we thought it would be under Aaron Glenn's head coaching leadership.

But then inevitably what happened was the Buffalo Beals were the Buffalo Beals.

They end up winning 30 to 10 over the New York Jets.

Couple division blowouts here.

What does that say to you, D-Buck?

You know, divisional opponents, they mean a little bit more during the season.

You want to send a message to everyone.

And one of my favorite things I love to see in the National Football League, when a guy who's deserving some money gets his money, and then he shows up and shows out early and often.

That was James Cook yesterday.

Wasn't pretty as far as the stat sheet for Josh Allen.

If you had some parlays or some prop bets, you probably didn't hit a bunch of them, but he did his thing, took care of the ball, had some runs, had a little scary injury there with his nose.

So, but he came back, finished the game.

Just an all-around dominant performance in the AFC East with the Bills over the New York Football Jets.

I think Josh Allen probably appreciates the fact that he's going to have the photo with the

thing.

Yeah,

the

nose.

The black guy.

Yeah, yeah, he's probably going to not fun.

I'm not saying it's a good thing, and it's going to suck the sleep.

You know, that's going to be sneezing.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

And we're getting into cold season, too.

Josh?

Vitamin C.

Yeah.

Get it.

He can't be sneezing with that entire situation.

Obviously, getting punched in the face is no fun.

He's tough, son.

I mean, there's no questions asked.

So there were some beatdowns yesterday.

Congrats to the teams that showcased that they are great either once again or will continue to do as such.

Let's go to number four, a team that everybody thought was going to be great.

Spent all the money this weekend or this offseason.

Burrow breaks his toe.

They're saying he's out at least three months.

Oh, Joe.

He was healthy in training camp.

They paid his wide receivers.

They get Hendrickson back.

Shamar Stewart said, okay, Doug Claus.

Everything that was kind of tumultuous ended up being smooth sailing.

This is going to be the best Cincinnati bank.

Holy hell, they won a game.

Yeah.

Now they got home.

Sam Hubbards, the ruler of the jungle, need to be calling a crowd, get in there a little bit earlier, huh?

We want this place to be electrifying.

There's Trevor Lawrence, Liam Cohen, come into town and they get a win yeah congrats to the banglers get a huge win could have lost that game multiple times did a huge win and that's a positive

this this they can't buy a break no they can't no later this team cannot buy a break in cincinnati they try to buy their players out They are trying to pay everybody.

They're trying to run a new business.

We're going to sell the rights to the stadium and we're going to build an indoor facility.

They're trying, I think, to become a team that is, you know, kind of showing respect to the football gods.

Like, hey, we understand the power of having an NFL team and the responsibility of having a team in our city of Cincinnati.

We want to do right.

They were doing it.

It seems like they were doing it all.

They had everybody.

And then, boom, week two, Joe Burrow was 7-13 for 76 yards and a tud.

Okay, let's assume that just continues.

And he just has a great game in front of Sam Hubbard, a ruler of the jungle.

And he gets standard tackle here by Eric Armstead.

Bang, toe, out, three months.

That sucks for the Bangladesh, but that's a huge storyline for the AFC going forward.

Yeah, it is.

And it does.

It sucks so bad.

They were doing everything.

Pat, you said it.

They paid everyone who we said you couldn't.

You can't pay all those guys and keep them.

They won the first two weeks of the year.

They never win the first two weeks ever.

And then this happens to Joe Burrow.

And I saw this edit last night, and I did not like it.

It was Joe Burrow, and it was...

It flashed Andrew Luck, and then it was Joe Burrow, and then it flashed Andrew Luck.

And it was Joe Burrow.

It kept going.

It was intense.

I was like, oh, no, these guys, they started their career with all these injuries.

They're this incredibly talented, but they were behind potentially an O-line that isn't going to protect them.

And we have these stats from Schefter that he then put out this morning, and those don't look good either.

I'm just hoping Joe comes back healthy, and it's not a similar situation to Andrew, where he's like, just he's just taking all these hits because he is unbelievable.

He's great for the league, and this sucks for Cincinnati.

And hopefully, Browning, you know, can lead them to the promised land as well.

We remember whenever he got into the league, it felt as if he was trying to be on a jacked up segment.

Yes.

With him being the one getting jacked up every game.

And then he came out and spoke.

He was like, I like getting hit.

I feel like I'm in a football game then.

Whereas one time against Philadelphia Eagles, we actually saw his body move and his helmet and head stayed in one spot.

Oh, yeah.

And then he got slingshotted into the ground.

He leaves game.

Then he comes back.

I think it leads him to overtime in this entire thing.

His durability and his toughness is always something that's talked about.

But anytime a quarterback's toughness in the NFL is talked about, it's normally because he's getting his ass beat.

Right?

That's why you would bring up the toughness.

And what the ranks are there for the offensive line, I believe that was a Himbo stat through an Adam Schefter Twitter account.

I don't know what they're judging on.

I'm assuming offensive linemen would say, well, that's not real.

It wasn't my job.

Nonetheless, we've seen Joe get his ass kicked, and we've hated it since day one.

And now, I'm not saying this particular situation went to tell.

That seemed like it's pretty standard tackle happening.

It seems like misfortune if I've ever seen it.

But in the entirety of it all, you pay everybody to take care of the O-line.

They made some moves.

They tried their best, but it's like this might be an entire career of this, which we don't hope or wish upon anybody.

Godspeed, Joe.

Godspeed, Joe.

And started Bangles.

Godspeed the Bengals fans, too.

You're undefeated.

Yeah.

Jake Browning's played before, obviously, because of similar situations.

Well, and that's kind of the silver lining here.

It's like two things.

One, Jake Browning, unbelievable.

He's proven he's won games.

Two, Joe Burrow's house not getting robbed anymore because he's going to be home a lot.

Yeah.

Okay.

Good silver lining.

I think he'll still be with the team.

Well, I don't know.

I mean, I think he should kind of stay home.

I didn't like that those people robbed his house.

He did.

No, no, no.

Did you hear about who it was?

No, who was it?

Do a little research.

Pretty scary stuff.

All right, let's go to number three

for

the

brand.

And Aubrey is unbelievable.

Are you not entertained?

This man is like a gladiator in there doing things that nobody thought was possible.

We actually got a chance to talk to him a little bit earlier today.

Let's talk about this past weekend, yesterday.

Obviously, the 64-yard are absolutely insane.

Different ball flight than you normally hit.

Why was that?

You think?

Did you try it, or is this a new kick for you?

No, that's just a little power fade.

I was just trying to add a little bit more to it

and kind of came off my foot a little funky and it had that little slide and got nervous for a second, but then it corrected itself and got back on its path.

I don't really try to do it, but when we get back there, I've started to notice I do take that little hitch step to give myself a little bit more behind the ball.

You can see it there, but

yeah, I don't try to do it.

I'm I'm more of a field kicker.

I don't watch a whole lot of film of myself.

Um, if you if you pay attention closely, not any single kick is exactly the same for me as the last one.

There's a lot of times, especially early in the season, where my soccer form takes back over and I kind of land on my kicking foot.

And those are the ones I try to get away from because those are bad, but they tend to still go in.

I don't know.

I try to try to keep it as similar as possible, but you see the rush coming out of your peripherals.

Then you try to get off your plant foot real quick and it makes your form look funky.

So as long as it's going in, I'm happy.

And I'm trying not to be too robotic, but get myself in the same position every time and

make a kick.

Yeah, you do.

He does.

82 and 91 on his career thus far, which is 90%, which I assume is the best ever to start a career.

He is unflappable.

We had a full 15-minute conversation with him that we will certainly put out.

But him chatting about this particular kick and saying, yeah, I mean, that thing just started going.

I was hoping.

I was hoping as well.

He just makes kicks.

And once we kind of got done with that conversation with him earlier, he has the makeup.

He has the brain of one of those guys, you know, and it's crazy that he's this new to the football world and has already made a name for himself.

But he's unbelievable.

And obviously the Cowboys need him, Con man.

Yeah, and it's lucky.

Like, if you're a Cowboys fan, do not take this for granted.

As a Patriots fan, I lived through Adam Vinoteri, lived through Stephen Gostowski.

I just assume, like, oh, okay, so I could go out there and probably kick a ball and we'd be okay.

That's not the case.

If you're a Cowboys and you got the guy, you should hang your hat on having the guy.

When you mention Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb and all these superstars, mention Brandon Aubrey because he's going to win you games for the next 15 years.

And when he's gone, you are going to miss him like you've never imagined you'd miss a kicker before.

The Patriots damn near lost a game yesterday because of two missed extra points.

Brandon Aubrey is nails.

And the conversation is unbelievable.

He's like a dude.

It's sweet.

Yeah, very much so.

Yeah, football guy.

Yeah.

And he said he's very recent that he started to feel like, oh, yeah, football.

You know,

this year he said.

Yeah, he's so new to it.

It's like he was soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer.

That was what it was supposed to be.

And then if my memory serves me right, him and his wife were watching something either on YouTube or on, and it was kicking.

And she was almost like, can't you kind of, could you, uh, and he just started.

He was traveling like an hour or two hours for four times a day for like two years,

just finding finding the stroke, getting good, getting good, getting good.

Then he gets his opportunity.

He just never misses.

So and it's what a beast, especially for the Cowboys because they're always going to be on national television.

He becomes the first ever kicker to hit a walk-off game tire at the end of regulation, then a walk-off game winner at the end of overtime.

Obviously, zero is on the board across both of them.

It's either do or die, seemingly for kickers every single kick.

There's been some ass kickers in the NFL this year.

I don't like that.

Brandon Aubrey is making up for it on the other side.

All right, the Champs is still the Champs.

You know, I always say the Chiefs are still the Chiefs.

And there was moments in this game yesterday where I'm like, yes, the Chiefs is all the way back.

The Chiefs is still the Chiefs.

And Patrick Mahomes had some magical moments.

Travis Kelsey had some insane plays and then obviously did something that he never does.

I mean, he's like the most shorthanded guy, maybe in the NFL.

So him bat one in the red zone as they're going in for a touchdown to become a pick the other way is just a nightmare, absolute nightmare for the Kansas City Chiefs.

And on that note, Philadelphia Eagles did what the philadelphia eagles do philadelphia eagles get a huge win saquan obviously is going to do saquan stuff jalen's doing jalen stuff nick siriani goes into the kingdom and gets a dub after an ass beating in the super bowl i think i learned that the chiefs might not be as bad as maybe we thought the chiefs were going to be and that the eagles might be the real deal brother what are your thoughts ty yeah no i mean i i think if you're a chiefs fan you're definitely not hitting the panic button but i think it it might be time for you know cause for a little concern First time in Mahomes' career that they've lost three games in a row, if you include the playoffs, first time the Chiefs have started 0-2 since 2014, coincidentally, that was the last time they made the playoffs.

And you mentioned it.

It's kind of like Kelsey doing things that just he never does.

Mahomes is their leading rusher again.

Like he's kind of got to put everything on his shoulders right now.

And then on the flip side with the Eagles, a lot of people after yesterday saying, you know what?

That might be the game that finally gets the tush push

because you got guys moving.

You know, it's just, they literally every time they need to pick up a first down on third and short or fourth and short guess what they get it people are tired of the rugby stuff and that's what sheter said he said the eagles did or the the chiefs didn't lose that game yesterday they lost that game at the league meetings when you know the nfl said hey we're not going to ban the tush push

so we'll see who's football game they think it loud greeny this morning was like the abomination of a football player the tush push like there seems like there is getting a little louder and obviously the shots of everybody being off off sides and everything like that.

Tush Bush out.

Brotherly shove out.

Let's go to the number one storyline of the weekend.

The Dimes dive is in.

Hell yeah.

Three touchdowns in two weeks.

Danny Dimes dive.

The Colts, okay?

I said last week, everybody laughed.

Colts go in Super Bowl.

I'm not laughing anymore.

Nobody.

Denver Broncos, great defense.

Yes.

Denver Broncos got a great defense.

Best preseason.

A lot of people talk about Denver Broncos maybe winning the whole damn fucking thing.

Denver Broncos are the team.

A lot of money on the Denver Broncos.

Now, they were in a dogfight with Tennessee week one, and I understand Cam Ward had some generational talent plays against them and everything like that.

But they were coming into the ladder.

They were coming to Lucasville Stadium.

I think all of us were a little bit worried about are we real or are we not?

I mean, we're about to find out.

Sean Payton on the other side with Bo Knicks, a little bit more.

And what we found out is, ah, yeah, the Colts are for real.

And Tyler Warren might be the best football player in the NFL.

Danny Dimes, obviously, having a full resurrection under this Shane Steichen offense.

That's the Dimes dive.

And it is beautiful.

It is a touchdown maker, a touchdown creator.

And I don't think we've even come close to perfecting it.

There's bodies flying in the back.

There's a little bit else.

But with Danny Dimes' ability to run, he even hit a second gear whenever a guy got free and got the edge around somebody and picked up a few yards, which could have been a sack and a loss.

There were some throws that were perfectly placed out of Danny Dimes.

And there was a no quit from the team that we had maybe seen in years past.

there's multiple times where the broncos should have won that game could have won that game the colts could have had a three and hour got out of the way or the defense could have just not shown up and kind of gave up another field goal maybe just let the momentum go the other way we bring him in in the offseason out of minnesota full vines guy full celebration guy it is on good authority i've been told from my source

that blew the mascot did not know they were doing that celebration at that exact moment.

So Bynum's freestyling celebrations that are becoming the best celebrations around the league each week.

It is a good time to be a Colts fan.

It is a fun time to be a Colts fan.

And leverage is in the rule book.

Yeah, it is.

Can't be trying to break guys' necks.

No,

I mean,

we're trying to be a healthy operation.

We're trying our best to make the game safer for future generations.

You can't be trying

to swan-con bomb.

over a guy's headline.

You can't leverage.

You can't be pushing down, trying to get up top.

Now, I did see Denver Broncos fans point out some other plays that might have looked like some leverage.

I'd argue that maybe it does happen on a regular basis.

I'd argue maybe they don't call it.

But when it's that egregious, come on.

That egregious.

Game winner can't have it.

You got to call it.

We all saw it.

I'll tell you, I was in a suite, had direct eye contact on hold from Reggie Berto Sanchez.

Punter for the team.

Haven't seen him.

Yeah.

No.

We don't do that.

No, no.

We don't do that around here.

Okay.

Indianapolis, we don't punt anymore.

Rigo could be on his way to Pro Bowl season.

Did have a punt.

Murder.

It might have been 60-some yards.

Then they ran into the punter first down.

So he did have a punt in game one, but it did not count.

It got ruled off.

We got a first down because everything's working for the Indianapolis Colts right now.

But I had direct eye on Ricoberto Sanchez and Ball and Spencer Schrader, who has been great for us.

This kid Spencer Schrader, we're very happy he's here.

Born in Indiana, right?

Yes, Westfield, Indiana.

Then he went down to Florida, I believe.

So he is an Indiana kid.

We had Matt Gay.

He was the highest paid kicker in the NFL for us.

Ball didn't always go in.

Good dude.

Schrader kid feels good.

I have direct eye contact on Rigoberto

the ball.

As soon as he hits it, not good contact.

This ain't going in.

Okay, that's just immediately upon contact.

Nope, that thing.

He hit that thing.

No way.

So we all think it's over.

The electricity is drained from Lucas Holole Stadium.

And all of a sudden, what's out there?

Oh, again, another flag on the play.

These Broncos fans acting like this was the only call that everybody was like, come on.

These refs were a part of every play.

It was very annoying, to be honest with you.

There was a lot of flags in the game.

That leverage one's tough.

If I was a Broncos fan, I'm certainly very loud.

On that note, we getting the re-kick in the outhouse.

We didn't care.

We won ape shit in there.

What a huge win for the Broncos.

D-Butt, you were on the call for ESPN Radio.

I can't wait to hear that.

What a game for you to get to call.

I mean, what a game from wire to wire.

Both of these offenses are moving the ball up and down the field.

We always talk about in the locker room playing complimentary football.

We always talk about, hey, it's going to take 60 minutes, have each other's back no matter what happens.

And that's what happened with the coach yesterday.

The offense was moving the ball well between the 20s all day long.

A couple, a few drives stalled, stalled, stalled, but Strader was in the L's all day.

Went five for five from field goals.

So we weren't punching in touchdowns, but we made the big plays when we needed them.

That big one to Jonathan Taylor up.

the sideline, that was huge.

The Cam Bynum interception because the Broncos, they were getting in the red area and they were converting touchdowns.

Bo Nicks was pretty sharp once they got in the red area.

Franklin, is that quarter or wide receiver?

Weren't they college teammates at Oregon?

Yeah, so this was kind of his breakout game, but this interception

was huge.

We always talk about tips and overthrows, and that's what Cam Bynum and all the good deep free safeties do.

They make you pay for those.

So that was a big one, getting that turnover there.

Special teams, defense.

Defense wasn't great all day long.

Like I said, Bo Knicks was pretty sharp, but made a play when we needed it.

And offensively, just been sharp, man.

I mean, just every drive, we're getting points, we're getting touchdowns.

Tyler Warren, he's been phenomenal.

Jodlington Taylor went over 200 total yards.

And then Danny Dimes, he was getting his ass blitzed.

I want to say three, like 70% of the time he got blitzed in this Denver Broncos defense.

They lead the league in sacks.

I had six in week one, 69 coming into this game, and they protected him.

He was pretty sharp against the Blitz, went over 300 yards for the first time since week two in 2023.

So love what Danny Dimes is.

We've been looking for a quarterback.

Danny Dimes has obviously been looking for a good place, and I think it's kind of a match made heaven right now.

Shane Steichen's been looking for a quarterback too.

I think he is very comfortable with everything that Danny Dimes.

Just the conveyance of the offense, what Danny's saying.

And you can tell the offensive line's bought in.

You can tell everybody's bought in.

It's a different vibe with this Colts team this year.

Yeah, and that's probably the best two-game span for a home team to start a season of all time.

Like when you talk, I'm serious, when you talk about like the expectations and the question marks around the Colts and for them to come out week one, dominate a team from start to finish, and then week two to come out, be down by five in the fourth quarter, kick two field goals and win.

Like you mentioned, it's so much different whereas it was 28 to 23 and it was fourth down.

And I just assumed the Colts are going to go for it, screw it up, and it was going to go the other way.

And instead, they kick a field goal, get a stop on defense, kick a game winner.

Like it's unbelievable football in the O-line.

This is Danny Dimes's first real offensive line, and he's one of the top five, top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL right now.

Like Danny Dimes, for shoot, is going to be an Indianapolis coach for the next 10 years.

I hope so.

I've heard he was out last night maybe having a couple beers with the locals.

We like that.

And we are not saying that as a negative.

That is 1,000% a positive.

That is the boys enjoying the city.

That is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Hadn't been happening for a long time.

Danny Dimes, old school guy, joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL insider for ESPN, Michigan Mon.

Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Sheffter.

Chef D, we apologize for having to wait around right there.

That's on us.

The 15-minute clock might just disappear

going forward.

But on that note, anything that we missed there and the Colts are going to win Zero Bowl?

Colts are going to Missouri Bowl.

Well, the 15-minute clock has turned into a 30-minute clock, Pat.

But that's okay because the Indianapolis Colts are rolling along.

They are the first team in the Super Bowl era not to punt.

in the first two games of the season.

Whoever would have thought that the Colts with Daniel Jones playing quarterback would become the the first team not to punt in the first two games of the season.

They scored on their first 10 possessions this season, scored every single time, rolling along.

It seems like it was a long time ago that there was a quarterback competition.

You want me to go out to the other 90 seconds here like we did last Monday or you want to take over and follow up?

I'd love that.

Well, the follow-up is that first 10 thing, also a record.

And also, I think they've scored 17 of, I forget the exact number, 20 or something like that, or 24.

and it's the highest percentage of scoring in 45 years in the NFL when it's entire season.

But go ahead, on you, if any of the 90 seconds have anything with Danny Dimes being the greatest quarterback, maybe in the history of the NFL through two weeks, you can certainly add that.

But we are excited to hear what we need to catch up on.

Well, who would have thought that the Colts would have a more stable quarterback position right now than the Cincinnati Bengals?

But the story of the day, obviously, Joe Burrow has...

a turft toe injury that will require surgery.

He will be sidelined for a minimum of three months.

Typically, this is a 12 to 14 week recovery period from an injury like that.

That would mean that if it was best case, the soonest he could be ready, as much as he might push, would be December 15th and very well could be into the new year before he's ready again.

Let's see if the Bengals and Jake Browning, their new quarterback, can keep them afloat until then.

But Joe Burrow went down yesterday.

You knew it had to be serious.

He's going to have surgery as soon as the swelling in that toe goes down, and he's going to be sidelined for a minimum of three months.

The Bengals already have been calling around to add another quarterback.

That's from a depth standpoint.

But the fact of the matter is, Jake Browning will be the guy.

He is expected to be the guy.

And Joe Burrow has taken so much punishment there in Cincinnati from the time that he arrived there in 2020.

You put up the pass-rush win rate right there, where the Bengals have ranked in the league, and you see those numbers.

That is rough for a quarterback to absorb all those hits, all those years.

And you wonder what type of cumulative effect it will have on Joe Burrow physically and mentally moving forward.

So we'll keep an eye on that as that unfolds.

The New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is in concussion protocol, left the game yesterday, went out, was replaced by Tyrod Taylor.

We'll see if Justin Fields can clear in time this week to get back into action.

The Jets had a terribly disappointing game yesterday against the Buffalo Bills.

They looked inept out there.

Nobody would have thought the Jets could look that bad, but they did.

And now there'll be a question about their quarterback.

And the other quarterback to watch today will be Jaden Daniels.

Obviously came up a little limpy on Thursday night in Green Bay.

And I think they did some testing over the weekend.

And I think Dan Quinn will address the media today.

And we'll see.

What that is, whether his status for Sunday is in question at all.

Don't know yet.

I don't think it's serious in any kind of way, but I do think that we're going to hear of something there regarding some sort of issue with Jaden Daniels.

That's my sense of things, and we'll see how that plays out.

They're working through it right now.

Okay, on that note, Jaden looked unlike what we've seen of Jaden in the NFL, I think, in the face and everything on the field, certainly against that Packers team, who might be.

Yeah, they might be the best team in ball right now.

It might be.

So that might just be the case.

I didn't think I remembered him potentially having an injury coming out of there.

We will obviously keep T's and P's and positive vibes for Jaden Daniels, ankle and everybody that got injured.

Ty has a question for you, Chefty.

Shout out to YouTube TV, by the way.

Every game, every Sunday, all in one place.

Love it.

You got quad box, too.

Oh, no.

You better build them now.

You can build them.

You can choose which one there.

And red zone, are we still...

We are?

Yeah, I watched it all day yesterday.

Okay, yeah, I had it on as well.

Now, granted, I know there's people that didn't because they were saying terrible things to me whenever I said you guys are going to have playthrough commercials.

We do not care.

I spoke for the wrong people.

There are people that care.

I can't tell you that.

You don't go there.

Yeah.

Well, I did because I knew that I was going to still watch.

And that's on me for assuming everybody else is.

Are their numbers down?

Do they still have a full minute of commercials?

Because I was boycotted.

I haven't.

peeked over there.

Really?

Yep.

They did something more egregious yesterday, actually.

Was that a new border yesterday?

Oh, the red line.

Yeah.

I will say, the red line is pretty nice whenever it's in the quad box because you know which one is exactly the red zone share as opposed to everything else.

But I saw people were not happy with the red border.

Yeah, they don't want it.

Taking an inch off both of my sides of the TV.

I want to let people know I'm on your side.

It was incredibly convenient to see that in the four ball in the quad box because I know that's the red zone one.

Not that I wouldn't forget, but it's a nice little reminder.

It is like, oh, wait, I thought these games were on.

What's going on here?

But I agree.

I can't take it anymore.

It did help me in a couple different times.

A lot.

But I hate it.

Yeah.

Done with it.

Moving on.

And the 415-second things, enough.

Those need to be at least zero seconds.

What's What's next, five?

Red zone's awesome.

It is awesome.

But I do share everybody else's sentiments.

Let's not ruin it.

Okay?

Let's not do that as a whole.

I agree.

Go ahead, Ty.

Shefty, looking ahead to tonight, do you have any update on Brock Bowers' status?

We heard last week after he came out of the game, hey, he would have finished this if this game mattered.

But then all this week, now he's questionable.

They don't know if he's going to play.

Where are we at with Brock Bowers going into tonight's game?

I believe he's going to play.

I think Pete Carroll has said he expects Brock Bowers to play.

The head coach himself, who's celebrating, by the way, his 74th birthday today, so happy birthday to Pete Carroll.

Happy birthday,

Pete.

They expect him out there.

I don't think it's a lock yet that he's going to play.

Again, I go back to Christian McCaffrey last year in the opener when everybody thought he was going to play and he didn't.

I think Bowers plays.

He wore a left sleeve over his knee in practice, but I still want to see that he's fully and officially active before we know for sure that he's playing.

But I think it's trending towards that clearly, even though they list him as questionable.

Anything else in this game that we should think about?

Oh, there's a lot that we should think about.

Khalil Mack, the former Raider, gets to go up against his former team.

And the Raiders at offensive line, he'll be up against DJ Glaze tonight, so that'll be an interesting little matchup to see how that plays out.

We've got these two great rookie running backs right now.

We'll see how that plays out between Omarian Hampton and Ashton Genty.

Justin Herbert has played very well.

Geno Smith Smith is airing it out for the Raiders.

First home game for the Vegas Raiders this year.

So really it's the first time that P.

Carroll has coached that team in front of the home fans there in Las Vegas.

Ashton Genty making his home debut.

We'll see if Brock Bowers is in fact out there as we think he will be.

Should be a good matchup on Monday Night Football in the second leg of the game.

We're hoping that these primetime games remain good.

Yes.

Need it.

We're starting to look at the schedule.

Feels like the NFL really wanted to,

you know, put some good stuff up front.

Yeah.

Yeah, we want this first week to not be a dud.

Let's put some division games in here.

Let's put some rivalry games in here.

And then we all, because I think we got caught up in a moment, we're like, yes, this is the new NFL.

Yep.

Yesterday's slate, you look around, you're like, hold the phone.

Okay.

Then you start looking ahead, you're like.

What game is you're in prime time, yo?

Do I see the Miami Dolphins are in primetime?

See, that's pretty messed up.

Don't look ahead.

Stay in the moment.

Yeah, your J.J.

Reparker told me I got to stay in a moment.

I understand.

Tom Brady said, I got to stay in a moment.

The Miami Dolphins are in primetime here in the not-so-distant future.

We can't be doing this, NFL.

This cannot be what this is.

On the Miami Dolphins, though, go ahead, D-Bud.

Yeah, two will play a little bit better.

It was a game kind of down to the wire for the Dolphins, but everything that's going on over there is under a microscope, including the head coach when he's speaking at the press conferences.

Body language on the field, the defense.

They, you know, Coach started off historically.

They did it as well.

Allowed points in their first first 10 or 11 drives.

How hot are the seats down in Miami?

And will Tyreek Hill possibly be on the move here soon?

Well,

they essentially hadn't gotten a call as of last week.

But I think what happens here is as losses mount up, as they continue to pile up, that inevitably it gets the attention of teams and they begin to start calling.

Nobody had called as of last week, But if they keep losing, you know that people will be calling.

Now, the Dolphins last week had zero interest in trading him, and I still think that they probably think they're 0-2, and they think they're going to be bouncing back.

Now, they play on a short week, play Buffalo.

That's the matchup you don't want right now.

So,

you know,

let's see how this goes right now.

But it's not a great matchup, not a great time.

They're not interested in trading Tyreek.

Now, a month from now, there could be a different story.

Yeah, but when you put that tweet out, that note, and you're wheeling and dealing right now, is that anything that we need to talk about?

There's a lot of little going on right now.

Yo, good.

Like what?

Like what?

Stuffed.

Like stuff.

Oh, come on.

Chef G.

We'll call you stuffed.

Stuff.

Stuffed.

Adam stuffed.

Stuffed her.

Yeah, it's a lot of stuff.

Adam had a lot of stuffer.

When you put that tweet out, though, about nobody has really been interested in trading for Tyreek Hill, that's a hootie-hoo, right?

That's a bird call for everybody that Tyreek may be available?

Or is that you literally just saying interesting storyline that I'm learning about here?

No, I think various people have speculated, you know, about him being traded.

People have been saying that Dolphins have been getting calls.

Teams have been reaching out.

This team's interested.

I just don't think any of those things as of last week had happened.

I don't think that there have been teams that called.

That's why I said to date, they hadn't received any calls from other teams and they had no plans to trade them.

Could that change this week?

Sure.

Is it likely to change?

I don't think so.

There's a short week.

Miami is more intent upon turning around its season.

Obviously, we all have our own feelings about whether they will or they won't, but they're in the thick of it, and they think they have a good team with good players.

So unless they start the game, they don't.

No, they don't.

Chris Greer's phone might not actually work either.

That could be the problem.

No, he can get everybody out of town.

That's a one-way.

on that note though as soon as I read that from you I immediately think oh this is the team saying Shefty

let people know yeah that we are definitely a to date and they currently those two little parts right there you just try you're trying to make it accurate by wording Pat that's like again I'm trying to come up with it so that so that if the events change and circumstances change a month from now, somebody said, you said they weren't trading.

Well, that's where they're at on this day.

They're not trading them.

They're not looking to trade them.

We all know that things are fluid and that teams change their minds and circumstances change.

So

that's my language.

I understand, but I'm just telling you from your Twitter account, me reading that, especially with all the people that follow you and all the people that literally

notable people with power in a lot of buildings read your tweets and go, oh, there's a little bit of a thing over there.

Let me go ahead and give a...

As soon as I read that, I was like, oh, that's drumming up.

That has to be to drum up interest interest for the Miami Dolphins to potentially hear about Tyree Kill.

How much is he getting paid?

What is Tyree Killer?

I think like 30 a year when he signed.

Anybody potentially call him trade-for-head coach, maybe?

What do you mean?

I mean, that happens in the NFL.

Yeah, no, I think like the Maine Red Claws are coach basketball up there, G-League.

I think they're calling.

Who?

For Mike McDaniel.

Oh, my gosh.

That is not...

That's what he was alluding to.

It was like teams trading for the head coach, I said.

He doesn't even know basketball.

The main Red Claws?

Mike McDaniel's so freaking cool, he could probably figure out basketball in a day.

He's right.

He'd probably run that triangle offense like Phil Jackson.

He's going to be an offense coordinator somewhere, we all assume.

But they like their team.

They think they're going to be able to turn it around.

Hopefully, they will be able to do that.

Maybe he heads back to San Francisco.

Wait a minute.

Go ahead, Con Man.

Chef D, we got to talk about it, all right?

You're very tied in with the Niners.

I know you're tied in with every team, but when it comes to the Niners,

it's like an Eagle Scout-type knot when it comes to tied in.

Mac Jones went out and balled out for the San San Francisco 49ers.

Kyle Shanahan, you have reported, wanted Mac Jones in the draft.

Something happened.

You know, after they trade up to three, they end up taking Trey Lance.

But Mac Jones gets into the Kyle Shanahan offense, and it basically goes off without a hitch while not having George Kittle on the field.

Is it too soon to say we have a quarterback controversy?

Are we a win or two away from a quarterback controversy?

Because we also looked at Purdy's contract and his cap hit doesn't go north of 30 million.

So this does almost feel like a, you know, not a Kirk Cousins penny situation.

But if Mac Jones has a hot hand, Kyle Shanahan's probably going to continue to roll with him, Shefty.

Are we reading that right?

Well, they're going to roll with him as long as Brock Purdy is out.

And when Brock Purdy is able to come back, they're going to roll with Brock Purdy.

I don't think there's any quarterback there right now.

I think it's them having a backup that they believe in.

And I think he's a backup.

He signed signed a two-year, $7 million deal.

He's the backup.

He's the number two.

And frankly, the better he plays, the better it'll be for them.

If they decide that, hey, he's got value in the offseason and they want to deal him, then maybe they could do that.

I don't think they're thinking like that.

I think that they're just thinking, look, they've had so many injuries in so many key positions.

They had to rely on

a backup tight end, a backup quarterback.

They didn't know that they were going to have Trent Williams until pregame warm-ups.

They're missing wide receivers.

Like, this is a team that's been decimated early on.

So to have Mac Jones step in and complete 26 to 39 for 279, three touchdowns, he looked great.

He looked great.

And they were saying to me over the weekend that they believe that that environment that they have there elevates players.

Like they've seen players step in and perform well.

That's what they were expecting for Mac Jones.

And it was interesting because everybody kept talking about how awesome he's been to be around and he's brought a real

spunk and swagger to the team.

And I just think Mac Jones, I think Mac Jones learned a lot going through his two experiences in New England and Jacksonville.

And it sounds like he got there kind of with some maturity and some experience and probably acted in a way that maybe he might not have earlier in his career.

And he played great, played great, looked really strong yesterday.

But I don't, no, I don't think there's any quarterback controversy there.

Okay, we'll continue to monitor it.

I think Kyle Shanahan originally won in Mac Jones.

Now he's seeing what he could have had.

We love Brock Purdy more than anybody else.

I have his costume from Ariot.

That's right.

I bought it.

The thing he wore and did the two-step or the line dance in a commercial.

I thought he looked so cool.

I actually bought it.

But any place on earth that would potentially do this would be Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers, especially if Kyle Shanahan originally could prove, just like I said, it was.

Now, on the note about Mac Jones bouncing around, you got Baker, you got Darnold, you got Gino, you got a lot of guys

that Danny Dimes here that go through whatever humbling process or maybe enlightening process that they go through in their own football journeys, in their own football lives.

Mac Jones in the Kyle Shanahan offense, we all immediately were like, that would make sense, which is probably what Kyle Shanahan was thinking when he was coming out of draft.

It appears if that's the case week one.

If that continues,

you're saying no problem.

Okay.

I'm saying it too.

You're saying the same thing as Shefty?

Same thing.

Brock Purdy's the guy.

I agree.

However,

Kyle Shanahan is a guy that has done this.

I mean, this is something Kyle Shanahan would do.

Not saying he wants to cause any problems.

There's no riff.

Brock Purdy definitely quarterback.

They paid him and everything like that.

But if Mac Jones is the guy, he wanted a number three overall.

They traded multiple number ones to go get.

And he comes into his system.

Kyle Shanahan is the guy in charge every day Kyle Shanahan has this guy that, just like I fucking said it would, starts happening.

That's a tough thing, I think.

Two years, $7 million, too?

You know what he just saw?

Somebody wants Brock, right?

We got a lot of salary cap off.

I'm not saying that it's overreaction Monday.

No, Jerry's playing really well right now that they couldn't hold on to?

Debo Samuel.

Okay, so there's a lot.

It's Kyle Shanahan.

How much parties guarantee?

182.

182.

So much money.

It's a lot.

Including injury.

So much money.

Including injury.

So who knows what the actual total number?

I think that was.

All right.

Shafter saying it.

You're saying it.

I'm in.

Brock Purdy, can't wait to get you back.

He's got to stay healthy.

It's good to have a good backup.

In two years, you got a good backup for two years.

279, three tuds,

112 foot.

One without Kittle.

One game.

Purdy is, you know, Kittle is one of Purdy's guys, though.

All right.

Last question.

Two, three years of Purdy.

I agree.

Saints are tough, too.

Yeah, 10 years of medicine.

Last question here from AP Tone.

Yeah, Chef D, to be honest with you, I thought I was getting a darn stuffed this weekend.

I saw a tweet, but then I went, A-D-A-M.

Nope, that's at Adam Schefter.

You put out a tweet that Shadur told the Ravens, no, they wanted to draft him in the fifth round, and he said, no, I don't want to be a backup to Lamar Jackson.

That was a real thing?

That's a real thing.

Yeah, the Ravens were planning to take Shadur Sanders at pick 141,

and That was the plan.

And word got back to him that he preferred not to be in a situation where he would be in a quarterback room with an all-world superstar elite quarterback, Mar Jackson, where he wouldn't be able to sniff the field.

And so that was something that did not appeal to Shadur.

And he preferred to take the mystery behind door number two rather than the certainty of Baltimore at door number one and basically let it be known, like, yeah, I thank you very much, but please don't.

I want to be in a place that I can have a better opportunity to play.

And so, yeah, if that message had been there, would the Ravens have picked him at 141?

Yes, they would have done that.

That was the plan.

I'm going to play behind another guy.

Great history in Baltimore to Erica.

Yeah, one of the ghosts of the other guy.

One of the other guys.

Maybe learning from Lamar would be cool.

Getting drafted at pick 141, is it a guaranteed that you're going to play anyways?

Man.

I'm on Team Shador, always have been.

When I read this, just like Diggs, I was like, who would want this info?

Why do we have this?

And I read it, I'm like, why did this happen?

Then I started thinking like 10 different times.

If it all works out, it all works out.

But if I could have the opportunity to be in a Lamar Jackson room versus any other room, I think I'd want to be in a Lamar Jackson room.

Not me.

No.

Nah, not if I'm a quarterback that feels like I'm good enough to be a starter, feel like I'm good enough to be a first or second round pick.

I don't want to go to a team that has Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, maybe Joe Burrow,

Patrick Mahomes.

Those are probably, yeah, I'll open the other door if I'm a guy that wants to get on.

Because these guys, we expect to play for another 10 years unless something happens.

And this happens usually at the back end of the draft.

Sometimes guys don't want to get drafted late, sixth round, seventh round.

They'd rather be an undrafted free agent to pick a better destination than go in there and compete in a roster.

So it makes sense from that standpoint.

A lot of times, this type of shit doesn't get out either.

Yeah, what did he end up getting picked?

What pick?

144, three picks later.

Okay.

Yeah, and if, you know, to your guys' point, like picking him place, with all those things considered, would you want to go to a place where you're the second rookie quarterback drafted in the class?

Well, I mean, I'm sure he didn't want that either, but I'd rather

be tough.

I'd rather

the Ravens, he could probably say no to the Browns.

I'd rather be in the Browns situation than a Ravens situation.

Yeah, if you want to.

I'm a quarterback.

Yeah, but man, I don't know.

That doesn't look good.

I don't think it personally looks good.

Only three picks later is good, I think, as a thing, because the complaints about him not getting picked were the thing.

Then now we're hearing, well, he told people not to pick him.

How many other people did he say not to?

Yeah, good point.

You know, so then that's the issues because I was like, what the hell is going on?

I was part of the whole, I was part of the whole, we're not drafted with, and then now we're hearing, well, he turned down a team to get drafted to them.

And it's like, did that happen anywhere else?

I have no idea.

Like, did the Beatles say, hey, we'd love to have you go?

No, I don't want to go there.

Like, Panthers.

If it all ends up working out, it's good.

But I hope that's the only time that that happened.

What if there was a fourth-round team that didn't win her?

Yeah,

or third-round.

We don't know if that's true, it's not.

Maybe.

I mean, that's what we heard, though, with like the interviews.

Like, was he just going in and being like, you guys can draft me?

I'm not coming here.

Sorry.

If it all ends up working out, it's all good.

Good luck, Shador.

Pulling for you, man.

Always will.

All right, Shefty, we appreciate you, man.

If you got any more of that stuff that you want to tweet out, we'll follow along.

There'll be stuff coming here soon.

What type of stuff?

Good stuff?

Let's do it now?

Not good stuff, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, bad news stuff.

So we got suspensions coming in.

Bad news stuff.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Injury or suspensions?

Bad news stuff.

Bad news.

Fire?

Injury.

You'll see.

You'll know when you see it.

Oh, no.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's Adam Stuffer, dude.

That's Adam Badstuffer.

I mean, kind of perfect, though, because we haven't done the G's Louise plays at the

moments.

Moments, excuse me.

Sorry, Gee's Luis moment

of the weekend.

I don't know if now's the time.

I was going to say if not now, then when?

Yeah, I mean, we're doing it our way for him to end that.

Yeah.

I feel like

did a massive star player die over the weekend that I'm not a bad.

I mean, if we're doing bad stuff,

I think it might be Jover in Miami.

What?

Oh, no.

It's Mike McDover.

I think the way I looked into his eyes and his face.

Okay.

Looking into Shepherd's eyes.

I felt it.

I felt it, brother.

Callback, call back Shepherd.

Call back Shafter, please.

Gumpy, you can't just be saying it.

Because you're hoping for it.

Okay,

that isn't how this works.

You know, it is over Reaction Monday.

After week two, if they fire their guns, it might be Jover down there.

It might be Joe McDover.

Oh, my God.

Mike McDover?

Oh, my God.

Those press conferences, man.

They're awesome, dude.

Oh, they're not.

Oh,

if you score, you win.

So, kind of freaking score.

That's what we liked about him, though, is that he wasn't the same as everybody else.

And that's exactly the reason they should fire him today.

Whoa.

Because of that yesterday.

He used to have some juice.

He used to have juice when he did that shit.

Okay, I understand.

Shepard, did a coach get fired?

Did a coach get fired?

Nobody got fired.

Okay.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It's Archo McDover.

All right.

See you.

We appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen.

That's after Shepard.

Company, you can't just be doing that.

No, I said I think it might be.

When I looked into his eyes and he was saying something bad was coming, I felt like a coach could be getting fired.

I didn't say who.

Sounds like health.

But you're wrong, though.

You said it's not.

We don't know.

It hasn't broke yet.

We don't have any news yet.

If it is health, the Patriots were without their DC this weekend, and he has had health problems

this year.

Okay, we're pulling for everybody.

Jeez, week two firing would be wild.

It would be.

That'd be a wild thing.

We haven't had that early before, right?

When did Rivera get fired?

Most later.

Seven?

Like Frank Wright was kind of around mid.

Frank, yeah, they were pretty.

Yeah, it was a little bit there.

A couple college coaches got fired this weekend, all right?

Solomon.

Yeah, you'd see that.

Hey, we ain't got time for you to be doing what you're doing.

Down there at Virginia Tech, last year they returned like 20 of 22 starters and just didn't win.

And then this year, they seemingly did well in the transport on getting guys in there, hat dogs, everywhere, just don't win.

This guy's 16 and 24.

He's fired.

See you later, Brent Pry.

Appreciate what you did for college football, but everybody in virginia tech said it'd be cool to be good at football not just have a great entrance and then who else deshaun foster ucla now he said we're in los angeles at the big ten uh media days and go he's ex-nfl guy who obviously we all got respect for from playing ability but his head coaching stint did not start good at ucla yeah that was a rough start pride and nico though got nico ia maleava and you know i see some people who are tennessee fans saying this is the dumbest guy in the history of the nio seems like he is i was down there i know

the jerseys you saw what they did oh yeah i'm a i am having a regret yeah that was good it's creative yeah very creative good crowd hopefully make a great crowd down in tennessee Shout out to them.

Also, congrats to George Bulldogs.

Big time win.

That's tough getting there and get away.

Yeah.

Especially with the way that city was buzzing.

102,000 show up 45 minutes before the game starts.

That place is packed.

What a great time to be alive.

This is Joe Button.

You turn on TV, all you do is you see electrifying environments with an amazing sport being played.

You can be dazzled.

You can be emotional.

It can be thrilling.

It can be a bummer.

Yeah.

It's the greatest sport of all time.

We're lucky to be right in the middle of its season.

College football has been delivering in a big way.

Ratings are up 21%.

Whatever that means

across all college football games.

And I assume the NFL is going to have similar statistics.

Sports as a whole are a great unifier, a good thing to really rally around.

And we're certainly doing that with our sport, football, for the next, what, five months?

Yeah.

Love that.

It's been great.

Tonight, two Monday night football games will cap off this NFL week to slate.

Obviously, one of them is very, very late, and we are going to struggle to stay awake for it.

But the Buccaneers will take on the Texans at 7 o'clock, and then the Chargers will take on the Raiders.

Baker Mayfield, CJ Stroud, let's go.

Okay?

Let's do that.

Let's have a good one.

Especially down to Houston.

Monday night in Houston, early in the season.

Texans still very much at a point where they can go.

The Houston Texans fans are about to be outrageous tonight.

That was by far the loudest stadium that I played in every single week or every single year.

I did not get a chance to go play in Seattle.

Have since gone to Seattle, witnessed the game there with the Amazon Prime commentators.

It's loud as shit.

I'm not going to say it's not.

Like, I assume that I would have said that that place loudest if I ever got to play there.

Houston, though, every time we played there, it was an AFC South Championship game.

It was like a prime time feeling game.

Obviously, JJ was there, so the place was crazy.

Loud.

You'd leave the place, your ears would still be ringing for like an hour, two hours after the game.

Tough to have those types of environments and lose.

So I think the night might be tough for the Buccaneers in primetime.

And then Chargers and Raiders, Harbaugh taking on Pete Carroll.

I feel like there's a lot of love loss between.

No, there's nothing.

AFC West.

There's going to be some new kings this year.

Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs show a little bit of weakness and maybe it is time for one of these other AFC West teams who have legendary coaches to go on a run.

We shall see the talks of tables here at Boston Conner and Natai Schmidt.

Sweet hoodie.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, it's part of the New England NFL rivalries gear.

It is unbelievable.

It says,

well, actually, it just has the end of it.

We are all patriots.

But the full thing is we, the people of the United States of New England, are all patriots okay so it's kind of like uh like i know you guys consider yourself patriots well that's i was wondering actually when i saw that thing who made it because i thought if one particular company made it we could maybe just rip off that any off the chest and then also the patriots logo on the sleeve so then it could just have we're all patriots here which is a pretty sweet little go america type hoodie yeah it's not that poopy brand it's nike so it's pretty legit um this is we'll let other people decide what the poopy brand is that we were talking about and i almost said it and i decided you know what smart no it wasn't Adidas.

Adidas is spending a lot of money on our sport.

We just need them to know it is not Adidas.

Arm Under Armor, a Reebok, or New Bounce or

Buma.

That's Tysh Core Booma.

Halley Ones.

Whoa, how did you get those already?

Boom!

Are those the

Halley Ones?

They are sick.

The Opal?

Is that the Opal collection?

Yeah, I said it should have been called the Avatars, but Opal's cool too, man.

It does look like it's straight out of Pandora there on Optanium right there on your feet.

I'll tell you.

Those green pants are sick.

They are clean.

Yeah, you do got nice green pants.

Yeah, it brings the whole outfit together there.

I think you look at, they're also very comfortable.

Oh, it's super comfy.

A lot of basketball shoes, and a lot of people have shoes.

Their shoes are built for looks, not for actual wearing.

His shoes look sweet, and they're also very comfortable.

Yeah, they're both.

It is perfect, and I'll probably wear these every single day in here.

They're awesome.

Thank you for giving them to me.

No problem.

Size plus.

Tyrese did not send them to me.

No, he actually sent, I think he sent them to the whole group.

One half of the hammer.

Cowboys AP Tone is here.

Congrats to your Steelers, Tone.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

We kind of did a fast little run-through of it earlier, you know, chit-chat about whose team is potentially more done than the others.

Everybody kind of wants to rule out the Pittsburgh Steelers right now.

Aaron Rodgers says week two is going to be good for us in the long run.

Seattle Seahawks might have a team.

Maybe.

Tony.

Even if they do, I mean, it's still not good.

I mean, things, it was 14, it was 14.

It's 10 a.m.

local.

First round.

10 a.m.

local for Seattle.

Yeah.

They go into Pittsburgh.

Oh, mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long

of the law.

10 a.m.

local, they play this game.

In Pittsburgh, Aaron Rodgers, first time getting introduced running out there doing the entire thing.

I mean, you think the Seattle Seahawks are in some shit here.

Now, this is going to be tough.

Instead, huge win, multiple turnovers.

Obviously, red zone turnovers and everything like that will change the game.

But I think the Seattle Seahawks might be better than anybody's giving them credit because they're so far away and also brand new team, brand new quarterback, quarterback, everything like that.

So maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't as ass as maybe they looked yesterday or maybe some fans feel.

Hopefully, but you know, you talked about how the Jets looked against the Bills and you know, that wasn't great.

So, I mean, it's always hard to tell early in the season.

And yesterday was like, it was 14-7 and a half.

And things, it's not like things were great in the first half.

The Seahawks scored on the first drive, but then they didn't score since then.

And the O-line, Aaron, was getting pressured.

But it was like 14-7.

All right, you know, this will just be an ugly home loss or whatever.

And it's 14-14 in the second half.

They score on their first drive of the second half.

And then Steelers get a huge play out of Jalen Warren.

They're going down.

It's four minutes left in the third quarter.

You're like, all right, either touchdown or a field goal here.

We go up.

And then this is just

a tough interception for Aaron.

Calvin Austin goes off his hands into the defender.

If it got through, would it have been a touchdown from youth?

We'll never know.

And then the Seahawks go down.

They kick a field goal after this.

And then after they kick the field goal, they have to kick off.

Let's go to our Jeez Louise

moment

of the weekend.

Jeez Louise.

A lot of people saying, Oh, no.

Jeez, Louise.

Jeez.

What is this?

Fourth quarter of an NFL game.

Yep.

New landing zone rules.

Go ahead and run it.

Hit the kickoff.

Try to hit it in a landing zone.

Trying to make it a little bit of an ugly ball.

It takes a bad bounce.

Goes over Calvin Austin's head.

Caleb Johnson.

Sorry, Caleb Johnson's head.

And he lets it go.

And then, boom, Boise State legend, George Holony, dives on it before it rolls out of the back of the end zone.

Since it landed in the landing zone, which is in between a 20 and a goal line, that is a live ball.

Now, there was conversation, did he touch it?

Did he not touch it?

The refs say, we don't care.

The ball is down in the landing zone, and it was not downed in the end zone for a touchback.

So, that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is a touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks.

Might as well then make the extra point.

So, you take the field goal after the pick, then you add the kickoff touchdown, and then release the touchdown to Fryermuth potentially from the Steelers side.

17-point swing.

That interception right there in the moment where Calvin Austin hits it off his fingertips.

Aaron Rodgers was incredibly upset.

Once again, this is the kickoff, lands in the landing zone, stays live in the end zone.

They cover it up.

That's a touchdown.

Kickoffs used to be always live.

Always had the down balls, even if they wanted the end zone.

Then they tried to make it a kickoff touchback fest, basically, and they started rolling it down as soon as the ball would hit the end zone.

As soon as the ball would hit the paint, it'd be like a high school game.

Balls down, balls down, balls down.

They just kind of rolled that into the NFL.

That was never a thing.

Because on kickoff, ball's always live.

Like, hey, I'm going to score a touchdown.

We got to do for this returner back there.

He might not know that this thing is still alive.

We might steal a touchdown.

So now with the ball landing in the landing zone, definitely being full go, and then them not knowing to down it in the back, that's alarming.

It's tough.

That is an alarming situation.

Danny Smith better be on the boys for that entire situation.

You mentioned, though, that being a ruling college, that's a rookie, a rookie running back right there.

So

who wasn't much of a returner?

Yeah, so

you got to know these rules.

It's tough.

I think this has only happened four times in the National Football League.

It's a legendary coach used to say, if you're a returner, there's two things you got to know.

You got to know the rules, and you got to catch the ball.

Those are two things.

Obviously, he didn't do either right there.

So tough, but it's a learning lesson, not only for Caleb Johnson.

You know, in all special teams meetings around the league, this will be shown now, and everybody will kind of remember it now going forward.

And there's going to be a lot of people in special teams meetings that had no idea that was a rule.

Absolutely.

And they're going to be like, thank God that didn't happen to us.

And on that note, with the new rule of the landing zone, that was a perfect ball.

Yeah,

that is exactly the, that was a squib that was ugly and when it hit the ground, skirted through.

That is the kick that every kicker is looking for.

Because if that ended up being a touchback like old Kuz wanted it to be, that goes at a 20.

Okay, as opposed to a 35.

So that was like perfect kick.

And then obviously perfect execution by the special teams unit from Seattle knowing that's a live ball and scoring a touchdown.

That's attention to detail early in the season.

Now, let's go back to the Calvin Austin interception because Aaron was very pissed off.

It seemed like others were pretty pissed off.

It was talked about afterwards.

Calvin Austin got into a space that he wasn't supposed to get into, allegedly.

And is this a tumultuous point for all of Pittsburgh Steelers fans?

Yeah, well, it's a tumultuous point because the whole thing about who's going to be wide receiver during the offseason and stuff like that, it is Calvin Austin.

But no, Mark Sanchez was talking about on the broadcast how Calvin Austin should have went one way, and he didn't.

And Aaron, obviously, they show Aaron in the replay and he's pointing and he's not happy either.

It was just a litany of errors.

And then, Foxy, if you have, right after this and after the kickoff, there was a third and goal from the 20 in Kenneth Walker touchdown.

They just ran a simple little pitch outside.

And, I mean, the run, the defense.

Oh, that's Pittsburgh Steelers' fourth quarter defense.

31?

What?

Keystone Cops?

The defense.

Keystone Keystone Cops out there.

Two weeks in a row now.

The rush defense has been horrendous.

The

third down defense has been horrendous.

Like that's the, this is the biggest worry.

The defense looking like, like the old line, we knew there was going to be question marks.

You know, the special team stuff happens, whatever, but the defense looking like shite to start the year is tough.

Nine-year NFL vet Darius J.

Butler is here and joining us live from Manatic in Ohio is a man who's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup winner, and

best friends with quarterback quarterback of the Pittsburgh's tourist.

Ladies and gentlemen, A.J.

Hawk.

Hochner, you saw him get a little bit animated.

He certainly thought Calvin was going one way, and he had Fryermuth wide open.

Mark Sanchez said in a replay, like, Austin's got to know that Fryermuth's going to that back corner, kind of clear space there, as opposed to bring his guy in and kind of muddy the entirety of it all up.

What are your thoughts on where the Steelers' offense is, where Aaron is, and kind of how it looks after week two in Pittsburgh?

I mean, yeah, this is some unbelievable mistakes, I think, that usually tend to not happen with an Aaron Rodgers-led offense.

Something like this is kind of a fluke.

And then the whole kickoff situation that you showed, like how often what D-Butt said it's happened four times.

I mean, I don't know with this new rule, how it works out.

Yeah, I don't know how it happens.

I'm not as down on the Steelers because I feel like things like this, obviously, if they don't happen, they have a much better chance to win.

But you're right, the defense not holding up these first couple weeks, that would worry me a little bit more.

And shout out D-Butt bringing out the Keystone Cops reference.

I used to hear that every day for 20 years, you know, starting as a youngster when coaches say it.

But yeah, I'd be a little bit concerned, but also, I mean, Seattle's legit, man.

I think they're pretty solid.

I think Seattle is legit.

I don't think anybody's talking about it.

We'll find out as the season continues to go.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, though, we're going all in.

We're winning the Super Bowl.

You know, we're winning the Super Bowl here.

I don't think anybody in Pittsburgh thought Seattle was coming in and beating them on that particular day.

I don't think any Yensor thought that was possible.

I know that Seattle Seahawks fans thought it was possible because they think they have a good team.

They're like McDonald's defense, good.

Like, hey, he's got a good defense.

That's why he got this job.

Sam Darnold, you forgot?

Good.

Also out there.

I think they like being under the radar.

Walker,

under the radar as well.

Kenneth Walker, man, I love that team.

Well, especially if nobody's going to tackle him or try to get any lane discipline out there on the third and 20 in the fourth quarter.

He hit 100 yards on 13 carries, I think.

So that was pretty good.

Yeah, that's the other thing.

He's running all pissed off because they're using Zach Charbonnet now, too.

So he's all motivated with him, with Charbonnet kind of creeping up on him.

For Pittsburgh, like the rule thing I saw people killing Caleb Johnson.

Rookie, let's remember Kyle Ustek went to Harvard.

He didn't know the rules in the Super Bowl when it came to overtime.

But are people pissed at Tomlin for this too?

Like in Pittsburgh just because like rookie not knowing the rules, you kind of point right at

yeah.

Not just for that, also the defenses, you know.

Because that's his thing.

How much money is on defense head of ball?

Number one.

Number one in the NFL.

I think like 140 million.

I didn't know the exact number, but I just know it's number one in the NFL.

Highest paid defense in the NFL.

And Kenneth Walker is a good runner.

He is.

Jackson Smith and Jigwe, he's a stud.

Cooper Cup played really well yesterday.

And also, if you think about Seattle, they're a big coffee city, right?

So 10 a.m.

local start might have been good for nothing.

You know, that wake up at 5 a.m.

local for this particular game in Pittsburgh.

Okay, sick.

Sun shining in Pittsburgh.

That's great.

It was a beautiful day.

Glorious day.

Beautiful day.

Across the board.

Everything was set up for the Steelers to win that game.

Oh, God.

It was and I Dumpy called me before and I was like I'm feeling really good and that kind of scares me and then it happened how Boz dude did you guys give him a paper Boz is perfect did you give him favors wait but I I've tried I keep trying to maybe they take some money from Hayward now that he can't stop the

he got a deflection for a pick yeah deflection for a pick and you look at those runs they weren't going they weren't going through the head of Hayward

they were going on the other side out there seems like that's been an issue back-to-back weeks there yes it has they just keep running away from teach they found the fish yeah We just go this way.

Move around.

Oh,

they said they would.

But then what do they do?

They put them over there.

Guess what they're going to do?

They're going to run it the other way.

I mean, at least they're going to run the other way.

At least make them think.

Are you coming to the game?

On Wednesday, you know, hey, 90's going to be here.

Liveback is running to each other.

The whole game playing away from them.

Stats guy, Daniel, Daniel Valente.

Here's Steelers' ranks through two weeks per true media.

True media always gets it right.

Yep.

Defensive success rate: 31st.

EPA per play, 29th.

Know what that is.

Exactly.

Defensive success rate?

Yeah, true.

Yeah.

Yards per play, 29th.

Yards per game, 29th.

Positional spending, first.

That's via over-to-cap, via True Media, via Daniels.

That's high.

You know, points allowed, 29th.

Not good.

That is a geez, Louise.

Jeez,

Louise.

Steelers might be dead.

Then we thought the Detroit Lions were done.

Uh-uh.

AJ, did you see them?

Guess who's back?

Back again.

Dan Campbell is all you need to know, my friend.

They ran this up on the Chicago Bears.

It looked like it was going to be a game early.

Obviously, I think probably a lot of Lions fans were wondering what type of season it was going to be, a little carryover from week one into week two.

Oh, maybe we do stink.

Maybe all the new coordinators are a problem.

Maybe we still have the guys, but we don't have the brains.

that we had last year.

Everything's going to be shit again.

Oh, no.

The Detroit Lions are just a Thanksgiving game where everybody watches them lose.

That is what was on the line for this Detroit Lions team.

And the brand new Lions showed up in a huge way, AJ.

Amon Ross St.

Brown has three tuds.

Jared Doff gets back on his bullshit.

And the defense just said, nah, you're not scoring anymore.

50-some points.

Obviously, you blow out the Lions all the way back, AJ, at one and one after week two.

I mean, I'm definitely feeling much better now than I did a week previous, but like, what about the Bears?

What about the team they're playing?

Like, do you take any into account that they were playing the Bears and they looked this good?

And they also had the spike game situation.

I didn't, I'm sorry, I was not aware of how pissed off they were at Ben Johnson.

I really was not.

I thought, like, you know, it might be in division rival, all that stuff, but, you know, everyone wants to be a head coach.

And he felt like that was the best opportunity.

The Detroit Lions do not feel that way, do they?

They feel like they have real hatred

towards him taking that guilt.

I thought the Lions fans had it.

You know, it felt like it was a media-driven thing.

Like this guy and like people that aren't around it, like, yeah, you could have went anywhere.

Why do you go to Chicago?

It's like, well, there's only certain jobs that open up and there's only certain opportunities that you would take.

And if you, you know, speak reasonably to a fan, fans' immediate reaction is, I don't care.

Why'd he go to Chicago?

We don't like Chicago.

Why would he go anywhere near the NFC North?

I didn't know, to your point, AJ, that trickled into the locker room.

That definitely trickled in the locker room.

Yes.

Players were talking about it after the game.

I mean, that is like, but you would think, to your point, AJ, business, Like, the players understand business, business, business, especially at the NFL level as opposed to the college level.

I like that MCDC was probably in there stirring it up a little bit.

He wanted to play you guys twice a year.

That's what he thought of you.

And the boys remembered it.

Yeah, you know, the coaches always find a way to, different ways to try to motivate the guys.

You can definitely tell.

That was a message throughout the locker room.

Now, Jerry Goff, he had a handful of games like this last year.

So who knows?

Maybe he was just back on his bullshit.

You know, Bears are still kind of banged up on the back end but yeah seeing him spreading the ball around seeing him be protected seeing him get that running game back going was great and then j-mo coming out after the game said yeah i don't didn't really feel much difference with ben johnson not being here i thought that was very very interesting but you need these kind of games week one look the packers what we've seen from them so far they may just be the best all-around team in football right now so you take that lump early you know you're going to see that team again down the stretch.

And when you have a chance to put up a 50 burger against an opponent that you have any type of history with, you do it, especially on your home turf.

Great catch there.

Uh, I also love the Jared Goff.

We got the zoom in on his eyeballs, he's locked in, laser focused.

It's the you know, it's the brand new golf, not the same old gooflovski that people were saying.

Yes, exactly.

And noticing these clips, he has so much time, and that was the key thing I wanted to watch all weekend to see if the offensive line could actually block for him and if we could get the run game going.

So, we got the run game going, and then we go play action, and all of this opens up, and it's good.

Sonic and Knuckles again, yes, they're They're good.

Because

I don't like all these nicknames everyone has for our team right now, okay?

Ass in cheeks, that's not nice.

That was me.

Kooflovsky, that's even worse.

Enough nicknames, okay?

Sonic and Moose Knuckles is pretty funny, folks.

Admitted that.

Moose Knuckles is good.

Yeah.

Okay,

Gumps is in on the side dog line.

Yeah, just a little bit of a retweet there from the back row if anybody else needed it.

Let's go to the Bears.

There's some bad news coming out of Chicago.

Adam Stofter has reported Jalen Johnson, Pro Bowl corner for the Bears, is out indefinitely with a groin injury.

Happy to hear it's just groin, but also sucks that this has happened to Jalen Johnson.

The way Adam Schefter was kind of speaking, we thought maybe something very, very, very, very, very serious was happening.

It is a groin injury.

The team is still evaluating the full extent of the injury, whether surgery is necessary, and how long Johnson will be sidelined.

Johnson exited the second quarter.

The Bears lost to the Lions after sustaining the injury while breaking up a basket.

He missed all the training camp the preseason, and Chicago's opener with a groin injury.

Okay.

So he came back too early is what the easy thing is to say here at corner, you got to be healthy.

Yeah, you got to be healthy.

Yeah, but don't take advantage.

You will get exposed if you're not healthy.

And those soft tissue things, like if they, I mean, they take forever to heal.

If you have one of those, a groin, a calf, a ham, your quad, you got to kind of let it fully heal, which is tough during the season.

A lot of people say, you know, you come into the season limping, you're going to leave it limping.

So this is tough, but hopefully he goes away and gets healthy and then comes back because he is a very, very, very good corner when he is healthy and out there playing football what will the bears look like whenever he returns what will the expectations be on the bears when he returns we don't know still a lot of season left for all teams true never forget it four teams who've started 0-2 have made to the super yeah you're right okay four of them so it's been done before yeah it was the far right column of the uh teams that go oh and two bang there it is four have made super bowl 45 have made the playoffs okay you make the dance you never know what's going to happen you might be absolute ass right now you might have got

maybe by a call or 10.

just know there's a lot of games left 15 of them you can turn everything around this ship can still sail into glory four teams made to the super bowl you can still do that i don't know if dolphins fans feel that way right now no chance

oh and two or bears chiefs saints

saints dolphins browns panthers those are all chiefs are 0-2 chiefs yeah chiefs chiefs

yeah let's on that note let's talk about the eagles eagles get another win go into the kingdom do their thing people real pissed about the tush bush because of all the penalties and how ugly it looks, AJ.

Is this just a new thing or what?

With them getting such a great jump, I mean, good luck stopping this.

There's no chance.

It's

just run it to perfection.

But the thing is, though, everyone's technically allowed to run it.

Let's study it and try to run it exactly like the Eagles do.

Well, we're running the dimes dive here in Indianapolis.

There is no push behind that, is there?

The dimes dive?

Yeah.

No.

No, and nobody knows they're running it on the offense either.

You'll see a tight end and wide receiver getting

like the guys on the outside, the tight ends, wide receivers that that are booking.

I think they end up at Danny Dimes' feet, too.

I mean, they're getting tossed.

Yeah, they get kind of shoved in there as well as their guy goes.

So I think we're just trying to perfect it at this moment.

We will.

Know that we will.

It already has some.

We hunt him.

I mean, they ran one with Tyler Warren.

That was a fake one.

We got up on it soon.

Yeah, and then they brought in their tackles, and then he drifts out.

And then all of a sudden, we try to run it out to the outside.

Shane Steichen's always cooking.

And they're going to run one with Warren.

It's going to be awesome because it probably won't be the Dimes dive.

It'll be like the Warren jump, jump, and he's going to take like a wildcat snap, and he's going to jump eight feet over the goal line into the end.

See, what I'm thinking he's going to do is it's going to be the Warren Waltz.

He's going to walk right down the field.

He's going to take the snap, and then he's just going to walk backpacking.

Backpacking.

Sure.

Like Neil Brown of Texas.

Backpack.

Backpack.

And then the boys in front of him are going to be Borrellini.

Yeah.

Borrelini.

Sure.

He's going to be pushing and rolling the pasta, the dough, right down there.

And he's just going to walk.

It's going to be a a touchdown.

That might be the next play that everybody wants to ban.

Can't tackle the Sasquatch.

We know.

Figure it out.

It's football.

Colts winning the Super Bowl, AJ.

I don't know if you saw.

Wild leverage call.

Wild call on that field goal, but you know what?

It is.

What?

Technically, you cannot touch.

So he's saying he pushed off of him to try to jump?

Yeah, he pushed down and

look at him, tried to break his neck.

You can see him touching that springboard up off it.

Oh, snap.

Push down.

The rules, yeah.

They cannot touch him.

I think the the rule is stupid.

I think you should be able to bull rush that dude and jump over top.

But these are the rules.

I get it.

Hey, I agree.

If we're just going to play chaos with no rules, let's do it.

Okay, let's just not play within the rules of the game.

No, I mean, now the rules have changed.

I'm saying the rule is dumb, but under the rules, yes, you can make that call.

Well, for leverage as a defender, as Craig rolls, I said.

You're not allowed to place your hand on an opponent or a teammate and push off to propel yourself into the air to block a kick.

In this case, number 92 came across the line,

line to the right guard, and he put his hands on the right guard and pushed off him to elevate himself in the air in order to try and block the kick.

You're not allowed to do that.

It was a personal foul and a 15-yard penalty.

In this case, since it was the last play of the game and it was a foul on defense, we extended the game for one untime down.

We assessed the 15-yard penalty and they were able to run another play.

Is AI answering these questions?

That doesn't sound like a human.

No, it doesn't.

That's bullshit.

You know, that's referees.

There's no way that is coming out of somebody's mouth.

I feel like I'm an above-average speaker communicator there.

That sounded like ChatGPT answered that question.

I can see that.

That was a Grok answer right there.

I mean, for leverage, as a defender, you're not allowed to place your hand on an opponent or a teammate and push off to propel yourself into the air to block a kick.

In this case, number 92 came across the line to the right guard, and he put his hands on the right guard and pushed off him to elevate himself in the air in order to try and block the kick.

You're not allowed to do that.

It is a personal foul and a 15-yard penalty.

In this case, since it was last play, that sounds like a robot.

i bet they i bet they did use chat gpt printed it out and we're like this is what you say guys who are we talking about we're talking about referees here this is what they they are they're not human beings

valid can we ask ai if ai wrote that yes you could yeah you can copy and paste it yeah send me the picture that doesn't sound like a human speaking no not at all because the way the way does it i haven't heard crick speak before so yeah it's true we heard him speak at the at the game he he was

what he said holding pretty normal he was funny and he's the white cap is that white cap right there?

Yeah.

He had a great game.

A lot of flags.

MVP.

Yeah.

A lot of flags.

MVP.

There was a lot of calls against the Colts that were a bunch of.

Oh, I know.

The Colts are legit.

Hey, bro.

I enjoy watching the Colts play football.

I really do.

I truly do.

But is the rule I can't put my hands on him or I can't forcibly push?

Do we know?

It's like, hey, any contact is boom.

Penalty because

I'd call this a push.

That's not a push.

He propelled himself, clearly.

He did springboard.

Yeah, Yeah, he holds it.

And also, if you get in the air, I don't think you're allowed to land on anybody either.

It's like another part of the rule that I think you could have.

There's like six different things that they probably could have called on this.

But I think what Broncos are saying is,

is this happen on every kick?

Or are we just calling this on a game winner from 60 that the guy was nowhere near making and changes the entire outcome of the game?

You got to have some balls to throw that flag.

They were throwing a lot of flags.

Yeah, you do.

It was almost like you were calling it.

Yeah, it was kind of going both ways, though.

Colts got some shitty ones.

I think the Broncos got some shitty ones.

But to call that one like game winner, 60-yarder, and that witch, with that 60-yarder,

you know, I think the end-the-game operation with all this stuff we've been talking about, Danny Dimes, and how much, how well they were moving the ball.

I think we could have been a little more aggressive there, maybe get a little more yardage, don't set up spank for a 60-yarder.

But

yeah,

that was a ballsy call right there by the white cap or whoever threw it.

They were all throwing a lot of flags.

I mean, they really said, hey, it's our league too.

And week one, I don't think we talked about the refs much.

I think after that Colts game, my first takeaway was, oh, the refs want to be talked about a little bit after how much Craig's crew was throwing it.

But then changing the,

yeah,

leverage, anytime you say that, I mean, I could barely hear it get out of his mouth because all we saw was whatever it was.

And then this way.

And we're like, Mulligan time.

Yeah.

45-yard mulligan, guaranteed make for an NFL guy.

Guaranteed make for an NFL guy.

Look at him.

Pull shoot.

Pull shoot.

Yeah, you just can't do that.

Team of the guy.

You're going to kill him.

Point of emphasis.

Now, if the Colts do that, let's make sure we learn from this boys and make sure it's not as obvious.

Well, and that's why, I mean, in Craig's defense, if you're going to do that, that was the time to do it.

You're in Indianapolis.

You got a home game.

It's like, you know what?

I want to be a hero in this city for the rest of this season.

Okay, so if it's even close, I'm going to throw this flag.

I'm going to give them another opportunity.

I'm going to make sure they win.

Tone put it into Chat GPT.

And now this could be ChatGPT covering for AI, but it says the statement doesn't look like it was written by AI.

It's actually very typical of the official post-game poll report explanations, NFO.

They're always.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're all interesting.

Who do we trust?

No one.

I want to let know whichever AI know that made that call, we appreciate it.

Yeah, we had a great time.

Broncos fans are not thrilled about it.

They are not thrilled about it.

Some other storylines around the NFO that we haven't really chatted about.

Rams get a big time win.

Oh, yeah.

Congrats to Rams as AJ loses focus a little bit up there.

Love that the Rams are going to be a real team.

Puka Nakua is untackled.

This guy is outrageous.

They just handed the ball off to him.

It was very muddy.

It was all

oost to the crib.

Puka Nakua on a fourth and one

gets to the end zone.

McVay seemingly always going to have great offense.

And on defense, they got dogs all over the place congrats on the rams being a team this west coast now starting to have some teams over there gonna have to pay attention to oh yeah and stafford and devante got going devante had his first 100 yard game as a ram here's his touchdown right there too in an absolute bucket and then also for the titans like hey this texans team that we're going to see tonight they only scored nine points on this defense for cam ward i mean shoot you're not looking for moral victories but last week we kind of talked about the tweet that said cam ward good titans bad This play was unbelievable.

I mean, this is across

the field

touchdown on third down.

Like the stuff you're seeing as a Titans fan out of Cam Ward, you got to be happy.

But yeah, the Rams are very much for real.

They're going to be in it.

Titans 0-2, but everybody's saying they got a guy down there.

Congrats to them.

Cardinals beat the Panthers.

Panthers had a little bit of a comeback coming on.

27-3 was the score, and then all of a sudden, Panthers start piling it on, piling it on.

Cardinals end up getting a win.

Are we in on the Cardinals?

Oh,

no.

Are we in on the Panthers?

No.

And for whatever reason, it seems like these two teams play each other 12 times a year.

I don't know how, but

I watched this game at least three-fourths of the Sundays of the NFL season.

I think it was Cardinals in Carolina a couple of years ago.

Now they're out there.

You're right.

It's crazy.

And when they're playing, we can probably look at the whole slate and go, This slate kind of asked.

And it's always in the four o'clock slot.

So there's only like one other game.

Three of them are 2-0 now, too.

There's so many chances, you know, like so many chances that Kyler can create himself.

There's so much to, like, I don't want to say fall

for, yeah,

but for the Cardinals, there's so much that it's like, wait, could this be the year?

Could this be the year?

Obviously, we're fans of Gannon, Coach.

Love Gannon.

We love Gannon.

We love the way they play.

We love what Kyler is able to do.

Are the Cardinals for real?

I love Trey McBride.

Nobody in here saying yes.

Love Buddha Baker.

Definitely not.

They're 2-0 right now.

AJ, nobody's showing him any love, the Cardinals, at all.

That's good, though.

They're in a good spot.

I think they're in a great spot because of that.

I know AQ will have his opinions on it, but I think they're like, imagine, though, just trying to, just think about facing this dude.

Like, come on, it would be impossible.

Like, I would hate to play against him.

I have a lot of respect for what he does, but the Cardinals, I don't know, what, maybe eight, nine games in, then people will say, okay, one way or the other, what they feel about it.

No,

people will still give them no credit.

They are a team that gets no credit, I think, personally.

Undefeated right now.

Now, they're running the NFC South.

They're running the NFC South right now from the Saints, where Kyler was up at 4.30 in the morning, dumping and puking all over the place because of a little food poisoning dinner.

My little bad gumbo.

Could have changed.

I didn't know they had that.

I thought they only had good gumbo.

I'll tell you what, he didn't have any bad gator.

No, definitely if he would drink Governor Landry, Jeff Landry.

Ain't no chance to bad gator down there.

You shoot that Gator at here.

You go hunting that thing.

So he was sick week one.

They win.

Now, obviously, he's playing his best ball.

I like the Cardinals, but you're talking about the undefeated people out there.

I mean,

that conference is starting, or that division is starting to look really good.

Well, and it's a different era, but even when the Cardinals were 11-0 with Cliff Kingsbury, it felt like no one really gave a shit just because the other team's in there.

And I think that is the thing.

Like, everyone loves the Rams.

Everyone is pretty high on the Niners right now while they're healthy.

And the Cardinals just always seem to be that team that, aside from playing the Panthers six to seven times a year, they end up winning eight to nine games.

Look unbelievable.

Kyler does stuff just like this, and then inevitably they kind of fall apart in the end.

Yeah, it's all about who you're facing the last three weeks of the season.

If they're a better team than you, everybody's going to go into the offseason thinking you're not a good team.

A team that we thought was going to be good,

still undefeated.

Cincinnati Bengal.

AJ, you're obviously over there in Ohio.

Just

brutal.

Never ends.

Sucks.

It really seemingly never ends for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Bengals fan base.

Obviously, this time, it'll be at least three months for Joe Burrow-Esket surgery on a broken turf toe that he suffered yesterday on a very kind of normal sack, seemingly.

We've seen him take much tougher hits, much stronger hits.

This one's going to be the one that is going to have Jake Browning as the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals for the next three months.

That's a long time.

15 games left in the season.

Three months is 12 weeks.

That's at the early of this thing.

Could be 14.

Now, obviously, there's a bye week in there as well, but this sucks for the Cincinnati Bengals and for Joe Burrow.

AJ, your thoughts over there in ohio yeah well they finally got out to that fast start that zach taylor has been chasing for the last what three four five years but unfortunately yeah losing joe is just brutal i mean and i think browning can play like he can sling it but nobody is joe burrow we know like the bangles are they everything has run through joe and for it to happen on a play like this too it's weird that it i don't know three months is wild i hope jake browning can find a way but man he's going to need some help for sure yeah and there's a lot of um obviously in that play he skips out of the pocket comes back into the pocket he's under address It's like that's kind of been the story of Joe Burrow with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Even during their Super Bowl run, I think he was sacked 11 times in one of the games and then nine times in another one of the game.

Eight in the Super Bowl.

This has kind of just been the story, including the final play with Aaron Donnell, where if he has a half a second longer, he hits Jamar Chase.

They might win.

They win the Super Bowl.

They win the Super Bowl in this entire thing.

So this has kind of been the story of the Joe Burrow Cincinnati Bengal.

AFC North, though, also a division that gets after the quarterback as well.

So it's going to get exposed if you can't protect your quarterback.

And obviously it happens here to Joe Burrow.

This sucks, dude.

It doesn't.

Jake Browning had a good year last time he had to do this for Joe Burrow.

So hopefully there's some hope.

And he did lead them to the victory yesterday, even though he had three interceptions.

And the Jackson, like that game, neither of those teams wanted to win that game.

And Jamar Chase was unbelievable yesterday.

But no, like if you wanted to compete for the North and against the Ravens, like I think that might be probably out the window, but there's still, you know, you still hold on to hope for the playoffs and maybe that there's a chance that Joe can go back for that.

Joe coming back for the playoffs and the Bengals going on a magical run would be insane.

49ers and Mac Jones go down to New Orleans and do their thing.

Hey, Mac,

I brought this up to Schefter.

Scheffer said, no way.

He is tied in there.

Okay.

D.

Butt said no way as well because there's 180 million in guarantees.

It's one game.

But if you're Kyle Shanahan, he wanted, he traded the future of the team to get this dude at number three.

And then he goes on his voyage from New England to Jacksonville, gets humbled multiple times, learns different offenses, learns different situations, is publicly executed, basically, publicly ridiculed and murdered by everybody in football, saying this guy stinks, basically.

Then he ends up with in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

Kyle is a guy that will make that decision.

Kyle is a guy that would do that.

$180 million, maybe not.

But Mac and he looks great executing an offense with some injuries across the board, AJ.

Yeah, they did.

And it wasn't just like Dinkin and Duncan.

Like, Mac's pushing the ball down the field.

So I was impressed.

And you would imagine that

Mac does have a good relationship with Kyle, and they started off the right way.

Let's see if they can find a way to keep this up.

But yeah, Mac did, he looked apart.

Maybe he is like a little more mature.

We'll see, I guess, one of the first time he slides, if he tries to kick the dude in the dog, what happens.

Maybe

if Kyle wants him to do that or not, but yeah, good first start for sure.

I forgot that he was the dong kicker, whatever he was.

He had a lot of stuff that made him very hatable.

Yeah,

but he was playing for a team that was hated by the masses at the time.

A little bit different different now.

I think most people are kind of indifferent to this era.

New England Patriots beat the hell out of the Dolphins in a close one.

Patriots get a win, AJ.

Drake May looks like he's real.

Are the Patriots real, Con Man?

I would say so.

I would say the bones of the Patriots are real.

Again, it's going to be tough because Pittsburgh, this upcoming Sunday, it's one of those situations where until they beat a team that you know is good, it's going to be impossible to say, hey, the Patriots are back until they do something of relevancy against the Buffalo Beals.

What do you think, AJ?

Do you think the Patriots are a good team?

Do you think Dolphins ass team?

This was a battle this game.

I think a little bit of both there.

I think the Patriots are a good team.

They're definitely not a great team yet, but I think they have the possibility to become great late in the year, maybe.

People are talking about Dolphins as if they are just ass cheeks.

We're talking about getting clapped every week.

15 more games, got capability, become the first ever team to be 0-17, as well as being the first ever team to go completely undefeated back in 1972.

The Dolphins have both ranges potentially on the horizon.

What are your thoughts, D-Butt, South Florida guys?

It's ugly.

It's ugly right now.

And

the things that is most concerning is the quarterback and the head coach not being on the same page when it comes to personnel and operation and all these things.

They've been together for, what, four years now?

So if you came into this season, that was the thing you wanted to hang your hat on.

All right, we got explosive weapons.

Tyreek did finally have a 30-plus-yard catch.

He had a 47-yard.

He went over 100 yards.

But he had another terrible interception.

I'm talking about too.

And then defensively,

even though we don't have a bunch of household names on defense, I thought we had some good players, a good defensive coordinator.

So for the Dolphins to start off, I believe first 10 or 11, however many drives to give up points on every drive, that is that's tough.

Yeah, and I don't know if the Patriots are good or bad, but I am pretty quite sure that Drake May is good.

And that's all that really matters.

I'm pretty quite sure of the same thing.

The Patriots also have a 50-year-old coach who's trying to roam a kickoff return.

Yeah, exactly.

How does he not pop his hammy here?

Look at that lean.

It's good legs.

It's unbelievable.

I mean, everything about it, he's at 90 knees at 90.

Good lean on there.

And I don't know if he thought he was going to keep up with him or not.

Looks like he's running a little bit of mud, but he certainly got down there.

The Patriots all the way back on, man.

Yeah, and it does feel like it is a little bit of a different vibe.

I'm not going to say people like the Patriots or anything, or they want them to be good, but it does feel like there is some sort of buzz around, like, hey, the NFL is almost better when the Patriots are good.

It feels like Vrabel also pretty babyfaced over with a lot lot of fans.

Like I almost feel as though you guys and a lot of the country wants the New England Patriots to be good, and that is why we're all Patriots.

You said the NFL is starting to realize that it's better when the Patriots are good.

That's Boston, brother.

That ain't the rest of the season.

That ain't a good idea.

That's very well.

One last thing, a little bit of an update here from Jeremy Fowler about the Baltimore Ravens, a team that could potentially go and win a Super Bowl.

Lamar Jackson, number one passer rating in the history of the NFL, absolute beast with the arm and obviously on the ground.

And now Kyle Van Noy is potentially going to miss multiple games due to a hamstring injury suffered on Sunday.

Not going to call him old, but I'm just going to say sometimes as you age, these types of injuries linger a little bit.

Kyle is in incredible shape, takes care of his body very well.

We assume he'll be back as soon as physically possible.

Bummer, though, for this Baltimore Ravens team.

Yeah, bummer.

You always want

one of your best pass rushers out there, led him in sacks.

last year.

But as you mentioned, as you get older in the league, these things get tougher to bounce back from.

But hopefully he has the proper amount of time to recover and then finish this season strong.

But I feel like the Ravens' defense, they obviously have the pieces, they have the talent.

They just got to continue to get better week in and week out.

Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is the undisputed super middleweight champion.

He's currently a champion at five different weight classes.

Geez.

He's kind of all over the place.

42 ONL.

No big deal.

You never fight anybody.

You never find anybody.

Well, who would you like?

Well, Canelo Alvarez.

Well, he's like 15 pounds heavier than me.

Well, why don't you fight him?

Sure.

I'll do that.

And then what will I do?

Put on a masterclass in the fight of the century.

The fighter of the century out of Omaha, Nebraska.

Ladies and gentlemen, Terrence, Bud, Crawford.

How's it going, man?

Great.

Going great.

Hey,

we appreciate you representing America out there, brother.

The fight of the century and getting a big-time win.

How does it feel here?

A couple days removed.

I don't know how many hours, maybe 36 hours removed from that fight.

Did it feel special when you were in there?

And then immediately afterwards, did we celebrate this thing properly?

Of course it felt special.

You know, it was a historical moment, historical fight.

I just chilled afterwards.

I went to dinner and just came back and relaxed.

Been there, done that, brothers.

In my first fight, it's my 43rd.

Okay, you got to do what you got to do.

Ninth round.

You had it one, I think everybody thought, like you were winning winning the fight then there was a moment where you two just went to the middle class almost uh almost a point at the middle of the uh ring and said let's just bang here let's get after it what is the mindset is it to put on a show do you think in this moment okay i'm built for this and also i can outclass them in here like what is the strategy round around and in this exact moment did it feel like allegion stadium just needed a little uh some fireworks real quick

Well, you know, it's a fight, you know, like I said before, you know, we're going to do a lot of

switching up and we're gonna do a little bit of everything in there we're gonna do a little bit of boxing we're gonna do a little bit of banging counter punching you know it's it's gonna go uh a lot of places in that ring and that's you know one of the places that it end up in is in the middle of the ring

Have you seen the clip?

Obviously, you saw it live in person.

I don't know if you remember every single moment of every single fight.

You caught him.

You caught him with a great lift.

His head spins and then he looks back at you almost like, oh, what?

Why,

I did not expect that.

And I expect that neither of you guys obviously get knocked down ever.

Felt like you caught him with a few.

Was there a moment where you thought maybe you ended it on

like as you connected and then his jaw maybe impressed you?

Or what was kind of the feel as you're kind of figuring each other out with the power and the strength of the shots to each other?

Not at all.

Canelo is a strong fighter.

when i when i actually when i caught him with that shot he was actually you know uh anticipating the right hook so he kind of rolled

uh

with the shot and then was anticipating the right hook a little bit so you know that's kind of why he looked it like it was like

i had him on skates in there go ahead aj Yeah, how do you prepare for a fight like this?

Are you a guy that sits there?

Do you watch a bunch of his older fights or his most recent fights?

And I guess when you do bring a game plan into a fight,

are you constantly changing that, especially

in between rounds?

Are you making adjustments that your corner is giving you and you can actually execute those in the next round?

No, to be honest, you know, I don't watch a lot of fights in camp of my opponent because I know they're not going to fight me the same way.

I let my team handle that.

Let my team make sure that I'm in the best position possible of myself.

So I just want to sharpen myself up.

And then fight week, you know, I watch a little bit of fights and see, you know, just to refresh my memory of what they tend to is and what they like to do.

Again, I make my adjustments on the fly and the fight.

Okay, so when you're in there early, you're feeling like, oh, wait a minute, because obviously there's a mystique of Canelo, just like you have the mystique of Terrence fucking Crawford here.

So this was why it was the fight of the fight.

There's a feeling out process.

And then is there a moment it's like, oh, I got a good tell on this guy.

I got a good quick.

Was that early?

Is that going into the fight you feel that?

And you just maintain that confidence throughout it all?

Or is the first couple rounds a moment for you to realize, okay, maybe this works, maybe this doesn't work?

Yeah, the first couple of rounds is always a fellow round, see what you can get away with and what you can't.

And then, you know, you go from there.

You make, you know, assessment on.

what works and what don't

size looked good in the fight on that note dbud has a question for you.

Yeah, champ, you kind of talked about your camp and get ready for the fight.

What was it like putting on the weight to jump up a couple weight classes?

How did you feel in the ring as far as your speed and as far as your power once you got in there?

I felt great.

I felt strong.

You know,

it wasn't

a sense of putting on a lot of weight.

Like a lot of people is,

you know, running with that narrative.

And I said, oh, he had to put on all this weight.

Like, no, I just didn't have to lose too much weight.

You know, that way I could put on, you know, a little weight here and there because, of course, I get to do more in stricter condition, but I didn't have to put on too much weight.

Okay.

I ran with that narrative.

I thought you were fucked.

That's what everybody was saying.

The people that ran with that narrative convinced me that that was a narrative because I don't know the world as much.

The thought of not having to lose weight is probably a happier, probably a happier, was it a, how was camp?

Good camp.

It was great.

You know it wasn't a camp that we was focused on weight you know so we could just focus on my craft and focus on you know getting stronger which we was already strong you know but you know uh

we we we don't know what we up against so you know we we definitely want to make sure our body is prepared for whatever onslaught Canela brings.

So, of course, you know, we're going to, you know, crush our I's and dot our T's.

And, you know, that's what we did in training.

You looked unbelievable.

You looked absolutely unbelievable.

Not that you ever don't, but it's just like, God, this guy looks like he is very prepared.

And then as the fight continued, it felt that way.

Turkey, a la alasheik,

deemed you the fighter of the century.

And obviously Ring Magazine and TKO come together to put this incredible event together.

What has it been like, you know, with the modern world of boxing now that Riyadh Season has gotten involved?

And obviously Dana and Nick Kahn of the WWE.

And it feels like anything is possible in the boxing world now.

Is that the big takeaway that we should think after you and Canelo fight and have the success?

Or how do you kind of view it all?

Yeah, for sure.

You know,

anything is definitely possible.

You know, when a lot of people kept saying that what I was trying to accomplish was impossible.

And I just kept saying it's impossible until somebody do it.

You know, and I would be the one to do it.

And a lot of people looked at me and just they said, okay, you know, and you know, now I made a believer out of all of them.

Yeah, you got that ring to it,

turkey pointing in that ring.

Yeah, yep, how you doing?

You got one of these?

You don't, I do.

Allegiance Stadium, 70,000 plus watching me dance around Canelo.

You outclassed them.

That's what all the super boxing people are saying.

Outclassed, outclassed.

But it started a little differently than you normally start.

Go ahead, Con Man.

Yeah, bud.

You are the main attraction whenever you're fighting, but this fight, you were the first entrance.

Normally, you were kind of clean up hitter.

Here we go.

The attraction is here.

Was it weird having to wait inside the ring while Canelo's doing his walkout?

Did it feel like almost one of your early fights from that aspect just because you were already in there?

Oh, not at all.

You know,

it's part of the game.

You know, I've been

in that position before.

You know, it's been a long time.

you know, but at the same time, I understand, you know, that he was the ace eye and he was the champion and I was, you know, the challenger coming to take his title.

So, you know, me going,

me walking before him, hey,

so be it.

When the bell ring, it's all the same.

You should have put one of those 40, 50 pound things on that the

Deontay Wilder had on.

Just to test yourself.

Just to test yourself.

Have that on the entire time.

I assume that phone call was Turkey or Dana or Canelo saying, when's the rematch?

Or when does that type of conversation start for you?

I already saw you getting called out by folks.

I don't know.

You know,

right now, you know, I'm resting and playing my victory.

And I'm going to go back to my family.

And I'm going to just chill for a minute.

Yeah, take it in, brother.

Fighter of the century.

Yeah, yeah.

Once in a century fight.

Oh, time.

Looking, who's the champion?

Me.

I'm going to enjoy that and let everybody else handle it.

You're going to go back home, we assume, to Omaha, Nebraska might have a team over there.

Go ahead, Tone.

Yeah, Tampa, we all saw the Nebraska logo on the mouthpiece.

That looks sick.

How do you feel about Coach Rule and the boys this year?

I feel great about him.

You know, every year I'm always pulling for him.

And I think this year we got a great team.

you know, we got a great staff and I'm looking forward to big things with Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Can you tell me something about anybody can be a nobody?

Because I saw Matt Rule hear you say it and now that's becoming like the Nebraska Cornhuskers, I think, like mantra.

Is that your thing?

Well, you know, listen,

everybody always say that I fight nobodies, you know, and that was a big thing, you know, in a press conference because, you know, I remember telling Canelo, so is you going to be a nobody when I stump a mohole in your ass?

Hey!

Hey!

I just wanted everybody to remember that, you know, everybody that I fight, they say, oh, they nobodies, or they washed, or they this, or they that.

So, you know,

anybody can be a nobody.

Yeah, we can certainly make them that way.

Yeah, for sure.

So, so I like that.

I like that phrase, you know, anybody can be a nobody.

Well, and on a deeper thing, like, anybody can be a bum and be a nobody.

You know, it takes a lot to not be a nobody.

And the amount of work, obviously, that goes into all of this is something that not everybody gets to see every single day.

Your commitment to your craft and your sport was on showcase in front of 70,000 people, and now you're five-division champion, the super doper, doper, doper middleweight champion.

I mean, it's just like, and we don't know what the money is, but we heard what it could have been, and then we heard what else it could have been.

And we assume it's that one.

You done good, bud.

Hell yeah.

You done good, bud.

AJ has another question for you.

Go ahead, AJ.

Yeah, how was the venue?

It looked amazing on TV.

Being in person, I can imagine watching it would be great, but what was it like for you fighting inside there in Allegiant Stadium?

Oh,

it was electrifying.

You know, it was great.

You know,

I remember my first time ever in the arena was at WrestleMania.

And when I walked in, I looked around and I was like, dang, I kind of got nervous because I was like, man, look at all these people in here.

You're going to be fighting in this mug in September.

I was just preparing myself mentally of what it was going to feel like, what it was going to look like.

And me walking in that arena, it was like, whoa,

you know

once I walked out

all that went away it was like it's showtime you know so go out there have fun be the be the be the star in the sky and do what you do best so you know I was more relaxed I was more you know ready than ever you know for that moment I was watching all the stars ringside go crazy for you.

Were you feeling that in the moment?

Did you see Chappelle's losing his shit right over here going crazy for Bud?

Did you feel that?

See that?

And who all did you chat with afterwards?

Well, I seen Dave Chappelle afterwards, but you know, during the fight, nah, I just seen, you know, my corner, Shakur Stevenson.

I seen Bill Haney and Devin,

a few other people.

I seen Chance, the rapper, you know, in the crowd, you know, the people I kind of made eye contact with.

While you're fighting?

No, before and while, you know,

like fuck.

Not wild fighting, but like

action and things like that.

Canelo, chance right there.

Yeah, watch this.

Last question for Debuck.

Go ahead, Bob.

Yeah, you and Canelo obviously have a ton of respect for each other.

And I saw something you did after the fight.

You handed him back a bunch of his titles.

Now, I don't know how, how, how often does this happen?

I know they're customized every time you win one, but how often does it happen that you actually hand it back to the fighter?

Well, you know,

them

is his titles.

You know, it's all respect.

You know, like I I told everybody for,

you know, a long time.

I'm like, man,

me and Canelo, you know, I got a lot, a ton of respect for Canelo.

You know, I'm a fan of Canelo.

I've always been a fan of Canelo.

And, you know, I wanted to be the one to give him back his belts.

I didn't want my team to hand him back his belts.

I wanted to be the one to give him back his belts.

That's sick.

All you guys that fight each other for a living seemingly have such a better sense of maturity about it all than I would or anybody else.

It was an honor to watch you work.

Are you in the Fountain Blue right now?

Yes, sir.

That place is beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

We're there for WrestleMania.

That place is glorious.

Enjoy it all.

You've earned it.

It was an honor to watch you fight on Saturday, and we can't wait to see what you do next.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the champion, Lieutenant Spudcroft.

Yeah, baby, James.

70,000 people boxing.

Yep.

Awesome.

Fight of the century, two names.

It was stunning at Mania, too.

Like, you can attest to that just being in there.

Yeah, the stadiums, anytime the stadiums have a ring in them, like any of the WrestleManias, just walking out before anybody gets in there, and you're just kind of looking at the layout, it's like, geez, how are they going to

people are going to fill this whole place?

That's a big, that's a lot of areas.

Yeah.

Yeah, both nights, actually.

And then you come walking out on the stage, walk out on the stage, you just kind of like, it's hard not to just be like, whoa,

holy fuck, Super Bowl, kicking off Super Bowl,

that was hard not to just be like,

feel the flat, could you feel the flashbulbs going as you're approaching the ball?

Yeah, I thought maybe I had a little bit of wardrobe malfunction.

You know, I thought there was a reason, you know,

something hanging out here.

Oh, no, this is history.

Got it, got it.

Let me not whiff on this thing.

Hit pretty good.

Not the best kickoff in the history of Super Bowls, but it's not the worst.

That's

last time the coach started at 2-0?

Huh.

Lost in the Super Bowl to the Saints.

Got all the way to the Super Bowl.

Don't worry, that's not happening this year.

Saints aren't going anywhere.

Yeah, you're right.

Maybe the Packers.

Maybe the Dolphins lose that title of being the only team that goes undefeated in winning the Super Bowl.

That might be the one thing we only ever hold on to.

You watch the Colts, brother.

You got eyes on it.

You're in the barn.

Larry Zonka, brother.

Never take that.

You were in the barn, brother.

I was there.

You seen it.

Culture something special.

All right, we will continue digitally.

We'll have Adam Ray join us in the next hour.

We'll also show our full conversation with Brandon Aubrey, the kicker of the Dallas Cowboys.

We've got a chance to catch up with him in this morning.

He's a guy.

He's going to be a guy for a long time.

We're thankful for him.

And AJ has this message to say to everybody who's maybe a little down in the dumps today.

Enjoy the double Monday night football tonight, everybody.

It should be a good one.

Double barrel Monday night football.

We'll be back tomorrow to react to it all.

Goodbye.

AJ.

Walco.

Dano on one of their games.

I was going to say, is Dano doing one?

Oh, yeah.

Early one.

We tried to have him.

He's on the early one?

Yeah, he's on the

Box Texans.

Okay.

That's sick.

We tried to have him on today.

He's got a production meeting.

You know, ESPN NFL runs those, so we'll go ahead and put those right through the entirety of the show.

Yep.

Very kind to them.

And also, they need to do it because they don't get to work together as much.

And I assume tonight is going to go flawless.

Cannot wait to watch.

Buccaneers and Texans.

10 o'clock one.

I'm going to try.

Yeah.

I'm going to try.

I'm going to give it my go.

Sure.

I'm pulling for me to watch that entire game.

You stayed up for the Canelo O'Crawford fight.

Thank you.

I was.

I was getting a lot of calls from a lot of people.

Everybody was there.

I don't know if you guys saw.

Oh, yeah.

Everybody was there.

Stayed through?

There was billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars in that stadium.

Hundreds of billions.

Maybe trillions of dollars.

Maybe trillions of dollars in that stadium.

I was getting texts from everybody.

When do you get to fight?

Not going.

What do you mean you're not going?

No.

I was in Tennessee and I just got back.

Put my daughter to sleep.

You're not coming to this?

No.

Who made that decision?

That's what everybody said.

I'm like, me, motherfucker, that's far flight.

What do you want me to do?

Everybody is here.

It's fighting true.

Everybody is here that you've done business with, do business with, or will do business with in the future.

Where the fuck are you?

I just put McKenzie down.

She's actually pretty rowdy tonight.

She's kind of a

little tired.

Actually, early morning in Tennessee, I'm a little tired or whatever.

This is outrageous.

They're going to tell stories about this, is what they said.

I bet.

And then I see the people that are all calling me sitting ringside, who like they're having a fucking great time.

And I look around them.

I'm like, fucking everybody is there.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Would have been nice to do some business with that person.

Oh, my God.

This is what I'll say.

If they want to do business with you, they'll come to you.

I was going to say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Yeah, and

we have become known as the group of people that don't go to those.

You're not their lap.

Precisely.

Fucking lap dog, all right?

We get invited to these parties.

Yeah.

But no thing.

Everybody wears white.

We get invited to these fests.

You know, everybody's going to beat her.

Okay.

Okay.

We'll see.

We'll see.

I'm excited for it.

I don't think we're going to make it.

Next year, next year, next year.

We usually always make it to those Super Bowl parties and all those cool get-togethers.

We got to be the only ones that do the Super Bowl.

That's the only reason people go to the entire part.

Yeah, we'll see you there.

Yeah, we'll see you there tonight for sure, guys.

Yeah, just can't do it.

As a group, we have never done one, right?

We did one.

You guys did one.

It was a Posner.

I guess with the Posner.

That was college football.

That was awesome.

That national championship.

That was awesome.

That was college football.

That was a great one to go to.

That was the right one to go to.

It was.

It was, what, two-hour drive away from the hotel?

It was so far.

It was fucking perfect.

Connor drove us in a minivan.

Great drive.

It was fun.

That was a great time, but that's the only one we've ever been to, whether NFL or college.

Yeah.

It's going to be a new us.

We're going to go extend to all of Branch these people for sure.

Yeah, basically.

Bruce, why don't you tell them we're coming?

Noted.

Walk in a red carpet.

That's one thing we're not doing.

Not doing that.

I guess we just had to do that at the Espes, didn't we?

No, we avoided it.

We had to do the picture.

Well, yeah, I guess, yeah, they did just hurt us like cattle in front of the.

Force us to do a picture at the Espes,

which is cool.

It's a good pick.

I'm happy we did it.

Happy we did it.

Wasn't planning on doing that.

And then they're like, all right, you're heading this way.

No, I'm not.

I am not going down that way.

Walking in.

Everybody's going, no, we don't have another entrance.

Sweet.

We're going to go ahead and get on out of here.

We can find another.

Then we're lost in the bowels.

Yeah, we're in the legitimate bowels.

They were just worried about gumps at that point.

Gumpy, there's no way Gumpy was going to find us down in the bowels.

He had to come through the front door.

Yeah.

Gumpy had to come through the front door, which was the right move to get to us, by the way.

Yeah.

We're not good at that stuff.

But that fight, I guess, was

would have been a nice one.

We went to Slatfest.

We did.

Boom.

We extended the fight.

That's nothing.

I want to go.

I need to go to one of those.

Those sound pretty sweet.

Okay.

We already did that, so it's going to be tough to get us to go to another one.

It's on you.

But I think you.

Maybe Mitt.

Maybe Mitt will come with me.

It'll be my plus one.

Oh, fuck you.

Yep.

Just know you have to wear it.

We got to give you guys the microphones, the thing, and then we'll have Talk with the camera and Bailey with a camera.

Yeah, honestly, it would be a lot of fun.

I would really enjoy myself.

I'm not joking.

Yeah, but everybody you're going to walk into is going to have at least one audio person and one camera person for themselves.

Every person there had their own

convention.

It was a goofball.

It was a bit of a goofball.

It was all these things kind of a goofball convention.

What we're talking about.

It's a good call.

But they're good people.

They're trying to do their thing.

All right, we're back on the other side.

We got Adam Ray joining us.

Cannot wait to chit-chat with him.

See the energy and spicy he brings to us.

Hell yeah.

Five sold-out shows here in Indianapolis.

Let's go.

Happy for him, man.

That's good news.

He was also great vibes in a suite yesterday.

He is a Seattle Seahawks fan, so his vibes are up because of what they did to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But then also, you know, that Seattle Pacific Northwest fandom, loud.

He was doing a lot of yelling.

A lot of yelling.

He was hoping.

Third down.

Let's get this thing loud.

Okay.

Yeah.

We're talking, he was trying to be somebody that brought happiness and joy in a win.

Because if we would have lost with him in there, obviously.

Yeah, get this guy fucking.

What the fuck, Adam.

Forever.

Yeah.

We're the best team in football a week ago.

That's right.

You fucking pop in here and we lose.

Yeah.

So he didn't want that.

So he was helping team win.

He was up there

with Blue.

Yeah.

Getting it going.

Bang on Jumbotron.

He's up there.

Did Blue get anybody?

No cream pies for anybody

that we saw.

But it was a joyful night.

Adam got a little bored with the dance.

They started doing his own

remix.

like it yeah he was having a good time place was alive uh all right let's wrap up all the storylines let's make our predictions for tonight how'd we do this weekend how'd we do on picks do we know i have not seen aj this is real i have not seen

it wasn't me eight and six you did good boom whoa comes down to tonight boys we got two tonight okay

all right i think i i know which way i'm leaning so far on these two games all right which way

we'll see won't we well i'd just like to know which way i'm going to be forced to go here you know which will be i don't know yet but i'm a big baker Mayfield fan, and I do like Justin Herbert.

Okay.

All right, I'm okay with that if that's how this ends up going.

I'm okay if that's how this ends up going.

I don't know, though, actually, I'm not exactly sure because C.J.

Stroud is the man.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Dino is legit.

We made our decision already.

Didn't you already make your decision?

I didn't make any decisions.

I just told you where I'm leaning, buddy.

Do you want to pick up right now?

He should have to send his picks off of air.

AJ, what's your pick?

Or which one?

First game, Buccaneers Texans.

What's the money on right now?

The money.

I'll give you the bucks at plus two and a half or plus three and a half.

52% on the Bucs.

Okay, 52% on the Bucs.

Plus two and a half is the biggest he can get?

The odds are yes, plus two and a half is the biggest he can get.

Okay, so that means I'm on the Texans, minus two and a half.

And for second game, you got...

Give me the Chargers.

All right, and I'm on Pete Carroll on his birthday in the Raiders.

Plus three and a half.

Is that the most?

Can I get four?

Three and a half is cross the board.

Okay, so I got plus three and a half with the Raiders and minus two and a half with the Texans at home.

Debuck, do you like the picks?

Who do you like?

I got Texans at home as well, minus two and a half.

half, and then Chargers on a row ruining Pete Carroll's birthday.

They win and they cover.

In Las Vegas, they just had this.

Tough barn.

Tough barn.

I am a little afraid of that hook, but you know, it is what it is.

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, 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.

And I mean, dude, meeting Tyrese right at the beginning was, you know, so sweet to me.

And he was asking me what my, you know, diet plan was.

And, and I was like, you know, six push-ups a year and crustables, and uh, and he'll be back soon.

But it was awesome, man.

You guys do it.

Don't you be telling anything to Tyrese?

We need him on Grow Chicken.

Yeah.

Grow chicken, yeah.

Avocado.

HTH, all the HGH.

Whatever we need, all the steroids, get him back to the shit.

Shot up with everything.

He doesn't need Uncrustables right now.

Uncrustables, although they are delightful.

They're delicious, dude.

They're so good.

What was the pregame snack back in the day?

I was an Uncrustable guy for sure.

For real?

Yeah, I like Reese's as well.

And then my,

what's that called?

The metabolic rate hit zero.

Sure.

And I started getting fat for everything.

The Uncrustable stat that comes out of the NFL, I forget the number.

10,000, I believe, a month for NFL teams and Incrustables.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yes.

That's where it's.

So whenever you talk about Tyrese, he's locked in his house right now.

He's trying to go to events, you know, so he can be alive, but he's doing rehabbing and going home.

He's doing some gaming and doubting.

Gaming, he told me he was talking a lot of shit to some kid in Nom on Halo or something.

He's a good gamer.

He's got to be dowdy.

He's a gamer.

2K.

No, but he doesn't need to be thinking about Uncrustables because one of those Uncrustables...

You know, that turns into, well, I don't have.

Oh, it's a gateway snack.

To another one.

And I'm not sure.

All of a a sudden, we got 400-pound Tyree's Hall Burton.

As a former fat kid, I'll tell you, I used to dip Pop-Tarts double-fisting into Cool Whip.

Thanks, Dad.

Where's my Thanksgad Cam who left?

Yeah.

No, that's what happens.

But you eat your feelings.

But Pop-Tarts also, shout out.

So delicious, dude.

It's Kellogg's fault for having 97 flavors.

Did you see the movie?

The Pop-Tart movie?

Yeah.

Oh, the Seinfeld one.

Yes.

Yeah,

it was all right.

Yeah.

It was good.

It was, yeah.

It was, the story, I don't think anybody knew the story.

I'm happy to know the story.

Yeah.

I don't know what people were expecting, everything else, but.

I wish it had more of a twist.

I wish, like, Harrison Ford came in at the end and was just like,

I work at Post.

You're all going to die.

You know, just some

more action.

Seinfeld was just like, you know, there's not enough strawberry.

Are you a.

I didn't see it.

You were flying high yesterday because.

Flying high, man.

Because the Seahawks beat the hell out of the Pittsburgh.

So we just gave it up one time for SD card, as I'm calling him, Sammy Donnold.

No one's catching on with that nickname, but he is

dialed in, man.

Our defense looks strong.

I think we had 146 yards passing week one against the Niners.

268.

Shout out to my white rapper, brother-in-law, Derte, who hit me up with a bunch of stats.

He hit me up.

That's good.

Dirte.

Derte.

Look him up.

Durte, look him up.

He's got Durte's got a lot of hit songs.

One's called I'm an Asshole.

One's called Is This My Life.

One's called Watch Your Back Adam.

He's on Twitter.

Dirte hates Adam.

No, no.

We had our beef.

He's a great guy.

Great dad.

What do you say?

He goes, dude, Rogers has very few red zone interceptions.

We held DK to 20 yards, the defense without Witherspoon.

I mean, that's the thing.

I think going into the game, I was nervous because I'm like, we are shortchanged, but we got Big Cat, we got SD card, we got Mikey McD.

You know, I don't know.

I feel good.

Losing last week sucked, and I think a lot of Hawks fans start to panic because we lost, missed the playoffs by one game last year.

So, I mean, you can probably attest to this better, but I know it's early in the season, but still, every game still fucking matted.

you can curse, right?

Yeah, all right fuck it it fucking matters

I don't know, but uh but it was big on the road too was a it was a good test does Derte swear in his music bro Dirte I mean he he's let me hear a little

bit I mean he's not he's a little bit like DMX.

I mean, you know, I have these old Dirte like DMX rest in peace dude I used to say I go when I go when your sister comes home and is like oh my god I met someone special the next words out of your mouth usually aren't I hope it's a semi-locally famous rapper named Derte I hope he talks about opening for DMX once all the time and he did and he does but he's the shit and he rips it look him up on YouTube follow him I think he's at dirte on Instagram but

dude he

is that an E with a thing no it's D-I-R-T-A-Y oh good now some of his his shit slaps Norm can tell you Norm slaps like Norm Derte's got some shit to him he's got some slaps he liked that he opened for DMX ain't nobody just doing that

when I first met him I go I go you have the face of a dad whose kids probably call you by your first name.

Because we were kind of going tit-for-tat, you know?

And he was like, what does that mean?

I was like, you know how, like, if your friend, you know, like your friend's dad doesn't command a lot of respect, and he's like, all right, boys, time for bed.

And the kids are like, fuck you, Dustin.

And you're like, all right.

Hold me down on my birthday, baby, you know?

But he's killing it, dude.

What's up, AJ?

AJ has a question.

AJ, my kids actually call me A.J.

I hope I can carry your vote in 2095.

Happy to see you.

Hey, how are you?

Hey,

I think we take naps at the same time, don't we?

Go ahead.

Mr.

President,

Mr.

President, my kids actually call me age, so they don't even come out.

They call me a nickname for my first name.

Not even your first name.

That's so disrespectful.

Yeah, oh, no.

It's actually respectful.

I take it the other way.

Okay, no guy.

Get me a juice.

Yeah.

All right, go ahead.

I want to ask about your prosthetic guy or your prosthetic lady, whoever it might be.

It's part of your characters, but you are what the characters are, whether you were in costume or not.

Who does that?

We do a Halloween show here, and I'm always doing my own makeup and everything for whatever costume costume i have yeah certainly yeah i mean you're you're yeah for i gotta be honest dude until i'm just seeing you live when i would see you on the tube i thought this was all a prosthetic so it's good to see that this is actually real just not team doing its job uh so yeah dude when i met this girl jen aspinow she was on mad tv the cw did a mad tv reboot for one year i'll hold for applause exactly right there it was hot

welcome back love

hoodie right because you know when you think of cw you think of comedy and uh

sports too they're doing that they're doing sports, yeah.

But

they also known for One Tree Hill, right?

Yeah, Small Hill.

Smallville, Vampire Bone Show,

Vampire Diaries, Glory Hole Comedies.

But they had Glory Hole Comedies on CW.

They're coming back, dude.

There's something for everybody.

Dude, but you don't know what it is, which is part of the thing.

Hey,

I used to check IDs at a Glory Hole in Delaware.

But no, her name is Jen Aspinow, and she, you know, from SNL, Mad TV, Westworld.

She won an Emmy.

I played Jay Leno on Payment Tommy, a Hulu show that Seth Rogan did.

They put me in like four hours of makeup to do Jay Leno.

She won an Emmy for that.

And so during COVID, my wife and I were sitting around watching, you know, just bored, look, you know, drunk high, looking for content.

We're like, how many more times can we watch Tiger King or, you know, Two Girls, One Cut?

Like, we need a new show, right?

Yeah, sure.

A new show.

We know how it ends, you know?

And so these Phil reruns would come on, and that's how the Dr.

Phil thing started.

And I hit her up, and she's bored, and we're not doing anything.

So I was like, I kind of want to do these like lost Phil episodes with my buddy online.

And so, and she's just a gangster and a goat.

And so she did that.

She did, you know, the Tony Hinchcliffe and the Joe Biden.

And she did Shane's Trump for that episode of Kill Tony.

And it's cool, man.

She's, she's kind of the goat for character makeup.

But you're right.

It's like whatever you bring to it, even doing, you know, Tony on Kill Tony when, you know, doing all that, you know, unfucking believable.

We're really doing it right there.

You know, oh my God, Pat McAfee, Pat McAfee, oh my God.

You know, so it's like, but, you know, we taped my ears out for that and like did a little bit of a nose job and,

you know, put put some, put some stuff.

I don't know.

What's that?

Put some stuff.

Yeah, you were talking about doing Tony Hinchcliffe.

I think you just continue to roll and then your brain was looking for something.

And then you decide whether or not you're going to say it, which I respect.

We all love Tony.

No, Tony's the best.

Tony, and you know, Tony, I'll give him credit.

I pitched it to him.

I go, Tony, all these fans are telling me I should do you on Kill Tony.

And he goes, absolutely.

And then he goes, just don't, right before the show, he goes, just don't make me look like a fucking asshole.

Of course.

And I'm wearing the same vest as him.

Bro, Woody Harrelson was there that night at that Kill Tony.

And Woody and I walk up and Woody's just like, and I walk up, I go, Woody fucking Harrelson.

I go, oh, my God.

And he's like, oh, he's shit, man.

You go, yo, and Woody, I think Woody was enjoying himself.

You know, I took a hit or whatever Woody had at the end of the night and forgot math for an hour.

It was,

it was wild, dude.

But she's, she's just so specific and kind of a perfectionist.

And I think when you're doing any sort of character stuff like that, for me, it's you know it's all commitment and it's like looking having it look that uh good because even pat was like yo can you just wrap up a ball cap for today and i was like man it like having it look so good uh adds a lot and for me when i look in the mirror and see that i feel like i'm you know maybe a different person it it helps me uh jump into that more there was a gal At our show here in India in June, we did the Marath Theater, and this gal comes up to the front.

I'm taking pictures post-show.

And she goes, my mom thinks you're really Dr.

Phil.

And so I was like, I got to go talk to this fucking psycho.

So I walked up and I go, how you doing, sweetheart?

And she goes, I've been watching you for the last 40 years.

I love you.

I go, I've been watching you too on your ring cam.

I go, I'm surprised you got that tampon out, Mazzletop.

And she was like, what?

I go, we'll be right back.

And then, yeah, dude, it was unbelievable.

And she, and she was just, I took a picture.

I

signed a book for her.

But so that stuff matters.

It just makes, it's more fun too, man.

I mean, you know, but she's a gangster.

Jen Aspinow is her name.

You saying, shout to Jen, multiple award-winning, obviously an incredible talent.

You saying, we'll be right back?

Is that what is the...

We'll be right back.

I mean, I got a lot of catchphrases, Pat.

I've got don't make my mustache fall off.

I've got, if you think you can,

you can.

There's two sides to a pancake.

I didn't come 90% of the way to get 10% of the information.

I'm looking across at Connor right now, and he looks like a guy who waps his butt after he peas.

But the point is, everyone's got something going on.

We're talking about the Dolphins, 0-2, right?

No.

That's a big deal.

And look, if you're a Miami fan, I know, look, Miami's not just sunshine and butt plugs.

It's also the home of Shaquille O'Neal and Gloria Stefan.

Okay, shout out.

It's also where Ray Finkel and Lois Einhorn became one, you know.

It's a place where Dan Marino and Flipper once had an orgy with Tiger Wood.

It's a place where everything's happening, Pat.

But if I'm a Dolphins fan and I'm 0-2, I go, you know, life sucks right now, you know?

But guess who it sucks more for?

There's a guy who's recently divorced in his dad's basement.

He's 0 for 2 with women getting back on the train.

And he's playing Xbox Live, eating a chicken pock pie and feeling bad for himself.

So at the end of the day, Pat, you got to stop dropping roll.

Only do drugs with fun people and shave your head, your back, your pussy, and your crack.

We'll be right back.

Jeez.

Good for you.

I go to run.

Did I get a Gatorade Zero?

Oh, shit.

Ask and you shall receive.

Gang catch, good catch.

That's good.

Catch.

I came out there like a missile.

Two years in high school, man, and then I quit to play Danny Zucco in Greece.

What's up?

Oh, nice.

Did you really?

Yeah, that's my story, dude.

How was it?

I thought I was going to be the first Jew offensive lineman, and it just didn't pan out, man.

I was going to start varsity my sophomore year.

The coach was like, dude, our offensive line was a senior, got injured.

I think you're starting.

And then I was like, man, I got a chance to play.

Danny Juko in this play.

The plays were a big deal growing up as a kid.

We'd take field trips to go see him at Shortcrest, and so now I can maybe be a lead because the director was like, look, I don't want to tell you you're going to get Danny, but it's between you and this Filipino kid named Danny Park.

And, you know,

we might go with you.

And so,

you know,

typecasting.

And so I quit football and I had to tell my coach, I tried to do it jokingly.

I was like, I'm not going to be able to memorize the playbook this year because I got to memorize the lyrics to Grease Lightning.

And he was just like, get the fuck out of my office.

And then he came to the Sunny Matine with his kids.

And I mean, you know, I got a leather jacket and makeup.

And he was like, it was pretty good.

Yeah, you crushed it.

It seems like it all worked out pretty well.

It worked out okay.

But I mean, there was a moment where I was like, I think I'm going to, I mean, hoops was my sport, obviously repping the soups hat,

which we'll be back in a couple of years.

But, you know, when the Sonics left, it was, you know, it was a gut punch, but it gave the fans more more love and passion towards the Mariners who are killing it right now.

Shout out to Big Dumper, who just tied Mickey Mantle for the

Switch hitter.

Big Dumper is

a sweet guy, great guy to drink with, great guy to hang, a great, I mean, just the most chill.

It's always wild to me.

I mean, you're the same athletes that ripped it up that are just so chill, dude.

Cal, I'm like thinking he's this, and I was telling the boys at the suite last night, the Mariners let me go down and roast them during spring training and then suit up.

And the jokes they posted were, you know, jokes like, Julio, look at his,

you know, look at his teeth.

He's so, they're so white.

Like, he looks like, I said, I, the only, I, I want to say, I'm from Seattle.

I know this place like the back of my hand.

The only place I get lost is in Julio's eyes.

That's the only joke they posted.

But the other jokes they did where I go, look at Julio's teeth.

I go, they're so white.

I go, I don't know what's more white, Julio or his teammates.

Look at this clubhouse.

Where were you guys on January 6th?

And then I go.

They didn't post that?

And then I go, I go, Cal's got 50,000 followers on Instagram, 60,000 followers on OnlyFans.

But there was a moment where I was taking BP off Dan Wilson, our manager, and my buddy Albert's down there shooting content.

And there's a moment where I hit one decently, just made some good batting cage contact.

You know, when you get into the cage sometimes, and more often than not, we're like, all right,

60 miles per hour, maybe, maybe, you know, maybe softball.

I had a long night last night, you know?

And you get in there, maybe it's 70, 80, and I just hit one right off the sweet spot into like deep outfield.

And I'm running the bases, and I get back and I'd use Cal's bat.

I'd gone up to Cal right before and was like, can I use your bat?

And he's like, yeah, go for it.

And so I get that shot and I go up to him after.

I go, dude, I put a little extra juju in this for you.

If you have a wild season this year, it's because of this moment right here.

And Cal takes the bat and goes, like this.

And then he was like, he's like, dude, this is it.

Let this be the moment that if I have a crazy year, that it's because of you using my bat.

And I turn over to see Albert with the camera and he's over in the corner on his phone.

And I go, dude.

What the fuck are you here for?

What are you here for, man?

What are you here for?

This is what we were freaking out about.

This is what we were here for.

That's what we were freaking out about.

We were like, you got to tell this right now.

Yeah.

I would be so mad.

Who's Cameraman?

Albert?

Albert.

I mean, he's shooting the Dr.

Phil Doc from our whole tour, and he does a great job.

No way.

Yeah, he said it didn't matter.

He was like, it doesn't matter.

I mean, it's just like one

little piece of content.

Historic here, Mickey Manley.

Yeah.

But he might hit 60.

He might hit 70.

There's two weeks left.

So the Seahawks are your team, though.

I'm diehard, dude.

I mean, I used to take the bus down to the kingdom to watch, you know, Rick Meyer, you know, Chris Warren.

I mean, yeah, dude, Hongram came in.

That changed the game.

Hassselback, Sean Alexander.

I mean, it's

so.

And then I went to SC 01 to 05, so during the Trojan War years when it was Pete, Reggie Bush, Mike Williams, Dwayne Garrett,

Leinard, obviously.

And it was Lyndell.

Smoked weed with Lyndell.

It was

knocked out, Lindell.

Yeah.

After he retired.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But

it was Kobe Shaq Lakers in LA, but SC football was king, dude.

Everyone had a jersey

of every player, and it was been in it.

So when Pete went to Seattle, I was fired up, which is why it was sad when he left for a bit, because it was like, oh, I've been with this guy for 17 years, more or less.

But it's awesome, dude.

And you guys kicked him out.

You kicked him out.

I mean,

you kicked him out.

It was me.

I sent one Facebook message to Jodi Allen, and she responded.

And she said, yeah, it's on it out.

Yeah, yeah.

And they did kind of kick him out, though.

It was, I mean, it would have been cool to let him, I guess, finish one more.

Those things are so complicated.

I think it's really,

you know, and it seemed like I watched Pete, I think, on Mike Robbin and Beast Modes podcast, and he said something about that, you know, philosophies were just different towards the end.

And he wanted it to go one way and knew it was kind of the beginning of the end anyway.

And so they just kind of, you know, cut it short sooner than later.

But Mikey McDonald is crushing it.

This is his first full year, really, like, where he feels like it's his team.

And I was at camp.

They let me call the Chiefs Hawks preseason game.

And

I don't think it'll happen again.

I pitched a lot of catchphrases.

Like Jake Bobo had two touchdowns.

And on the second one, I go, somebody check my watch.

It's touchdown time.

And Steve Raybo was like, oh, can you just stop talking?

And then

Torrey Horton, I think, got a touchdown.

And I was like,

I go, someone open back up the kitchen.

We're serving touchdown salad.

I might have been on an edible, but it was a good time.

How was everybody's response?

They were pretty good.

Pretty good.

Overwhelmingly positive.

Overwhelming.

overwhelmingly positive yeah they sent me a contract right after that but it uh we look good and mike said he's like dude the squad is so he said no egos that's what really stood out to me he goes everyone is just on the same page and you know he got some we got you know some high-paid guys but like leonard williams and and lawrence are such good i guess mentors and leaders and and the young guys are are swagger-filled but not cocky right there's such a balance between cocky and confident um and i think sam is uh a beast and i think you know mark sanchez and i used to have this short-lived podcast.

We did it where all the smoke guys did it.

It was called Fourth and Forever.

And we would have on comics and athletes.

And, you know, we interviewed Miles Teller before Top Gun and Deshaun Watson before the massages.

And we had Jason Kelsey.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And it was awesome.

And

so I got to know Sam then, right before he got drafted.

And he...

He's just so dialed in, man.

And he's just matured, I guess is the word I'd use, but

he's also just like ready to, you know, he's finally the guy, right?

He's got like three years to be the forefront of a team.

So going to Pittsburgh, breaks some hearts.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, that's a huge win.

Seattle's always kind of one of those teams that don't get talked about enough, especially in the national media.

Yeah, obviously, you've had some great moments with him.

Who would be, we talk about Mount Rushmores a lot back in the think thing.

Who would be your Seattle Seahawks?

Mount Rushmore.

Man, you know, I got to throw Joey Galloway in there just right up top.

Of course.

Just because when I started, you know, I think that was probably around between 10 and 14 when you like kind of find your sports fandom, I think in any city, right?

I remember, I mean, the first sports moment I had, and I'll get right back to that, was my mom took me to a Mariner's game.

Shout out to Puddin.

Single mom did it for a while, then married George.

Shout out to George.

Shout out to Puddin and George.

Shout out to Puddin' though.

Putting the GOAT.

You want to talk about Tom Brady's seven Super Bowl rings?

My mom had five jobs while she had my sister and I.

She was, and then married George, and then George was like, do you want to, you know, stop working so much?

What do you want to do?

She's like, I always want to be an actor.

I was living vicariously through Adams.

So then she did like seven, you know, community theater productions of the vagina monologues, which was fucking weird to watch her be in that, but she crushed it.

And then she went, she stopped.

And then they called her and she came back out of retirement and did it again.

She was like the Brett Favre of Vagina Monologues, right?

She just couldn't stop talking about her fucking vagina.

And shout out, mom.

And but so

I don't think I know what you're referring to there.

It's a play, the vagina monologues.

It's a play, yeah.

What's the last play you've been to?

Probably Hamilton.

Let's go.

Yeah, I've been there a couple times.

yeah uh

booker mormon booker mormon book a mormon seen that a couple times classics what else there's a couple i went to in new york oh the jud one the one where you just robert william dead of the sailor no yeah dead poet society dead poet society yep i went to five off broadway j sub played wow yeah i'm cultured dude it's cool i'm cultured there's like 200 people in there maybe oh yeah it was like in a roundabout they're intimate he was up in the crowd at one point yeah imagine being in a 200 seat theater and your mom's like it won't stop just oozing wet and you're like i you made my lunches you got to stop talking but um pudding was so good was so good though but she was so good funny she was great she knew the time uh-huh she got adam's time actually adams got pudding's time bro 1000 you once you see your parents as people and not parents you see that what you get from them and my mom super quick super funny i mean detail oriented detail oriented i mean she's 76 but everyone feels like she's like 50.

she came to a hawks game and met one of schneider john Schneider's buddies, who was hitting on her, and he thought she was like 50.

And she's just a little spunky, she got a lot of pizzazz for a little spunky Jew from Oklahoma.

But anyway, so Mount Rushmore.

Is that normal?

Just follow up.

What's that?

I don't know.

Spunky Jew from Oklahoma?

Yep.

Oklahoma's got a lot of Jews.

A lot of Jews.

Seattle's got a lot of Jews.

Germany, not so much.

Let's see.

Where else?

Why?

Sports, not all the sports.

I was talking about that.

Yeah.

But we're, but no we're alive but so it's um uh oh so my mom took me to a manner's game and i go mom i want to stay after and get some autographs as you do you're a kid you're like i want to meet the players jaybuner walks out right waves to the fans uh wade boggs comes out we're playing the red socks we're talking movon we're talking alan trammell we're talking movon uh family you know we're talking wade boggs and i see mr boggs come out and i go mr boggs mr boggs right somebody i guess had told me called them mr and then their name mr boggs i go he's time in baseball you know and just young fat Adam, you know, just my tits are shaking out of my shirt, right?

And

he goes, follow me, kid.

He grabs my ball and goes, follow me.

And so I follow him, I'd say about 200 feet onto the team bus.

I'm now walking onto the team bus where there's Roger Clemens, Mo Vaughan, guys are cracking beers, just walking down this Greyhound bus and walking all the way down.

And no one's really looking up at me.

I remember Roger Clemens did kind of look up and kind of look at me being like, Joe Biden.

And then,

you know, I don't believe in the vaccine or whatever he said.

And then

I walk right past and I sit down and Wade Boggs has a ball and he goes, what's your name, kid?

And I go, Adam.

And he goes, I wrote Alan.

And then he hands me the ball back.

He had already written it.

Anyway, but so Mount Rushmore, Joey Galloway, I say beast mode for him.

Wade Boggs, maybe.

I mean, shout out to Wade just for being, you know, it's so, when you see players, you know, stiff arm a child for the graph,

it drives me nuts.

Well, it's not the kid normally getting a stiff arm.

It's all the autograph hounds around them.

Well, that, that is, is like, yeah, I don't mind if you're...

Scumbag behavior.

I guess those guys end up intercepting some of the

problems.

What about the Phillies gap?

Did you guys cover that a lot?

Which one?

I don't know if we talked about it up here, the Philly lady who stole the ball.

Went back.

Oh, yeah.

Jeez.

Wild?

Yeah.

I mean, now, I do want to play Devil's Advocate.

What do we think about the dad leaving his base and running over to a section that's not your section?

I think it's fair game.

I think it's fair game, too.

I'm just bringing, I'm just trying to play both sides.

But because I think finders' keepers at the end of the day,

it's every man or woman for himself.

A ball's coming towards you.

I mean, dude, I've been to games where I saw a ball, dude, Edgar Martinez in a flyball.

It went off the guy's head and somebody else got it.

And I was like,

the way it worked.

That's not your crumble, dude.

That was not your day to be outside.

A handoff.

You got to get a handoff.

You got to bring a glove.

They'll tell you to bring a glove.

The worst one was at tennis during the U.S.

Open.

One of the tennis players was signing autographs and handing stuff out.

And, like, he's signing autographs.

He sees a kid, he takes his hat off to hand to the kid as he's signing.

Old guy comes in, grabs hat.

Oh, he's out of there.

Some CEO or something.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Bingo.

They just found that guy.

They found him and he got fired.

Yeah, dude.

CEO is having a rough year, huh?

Dear Coldplay, thank you so much for taking the heat off the Epstein.

I mean, he was so pumped, dude.

It was Epstein non-stop.

Dude, you know what?

I love about the Cold Play CEO,

the guy that went to the concert.

Oh, yeah, we know, we know.

He apologized, but then he blamed Cold Play in his apology.

He was like, dude.

I'll tell you what, I think they got something.

They might have something there.

But, bro, that guy was like, first of all, I fucked up.

All right, I'm a bad dad.

I'm a bad husband, but I'm also a huge Cold Play fan.

And what you guys did was not cool.

That was a Cold Play, man.

I mean, dude, blaming Cold Play, I was telling my buddy, I go, blaming Cold Play for your affair, like outing you, is like shitting your pants in traffic and then calling the gap and be like, you said your pants were holding my poo-poo.

What's going on?

You're like, it's on you, you man you gotta take some accountability but agree so i'm going marshawn i'm going um

maybe cold play yeah maybe cold play um maybe way

box joey galloway joey galloway marshawn

i mean dude hassleback was russell wilson good call aj you know can i be honest i love russ i think a lot of good memories the same way like uh oh hastleback over russ no no i'm just saying this is a sidebar oh okay loved russ and for the memories i think the way things shook out at the end bad news bears dude I will say this, I got to roast the Steelers.

And

shout out to Cam Hayward.

Shout out to the Steelers for setting that up.

And I get out there and I thought it's going to be just the rookies for like the talent show.

They were like, hey, will you roast and host the rookie talent show that they do, you know?

Ends up being the whole team.

Tomlin's in there.

Fucking Russ and Fields are right up front.

I'm like, oh, shit.

And I had a lot of jokes.

And the opening joke was about Russ, but I wasn't going to do it because I didn't think he was going to be there.

So now he's up front and I go, guys, so pumped to be here, Russ.

I see you right up front, man.

I'm a Seattle boy, so thanks for the memories.

And, man, I'm so glad you're getting a fresh start in Pittsburgh, man, because you got, they did you dirty in Denver, man.

They did you.

I haven't seen someone get fucked that hard on tape unless it was at Diddy's house, man.

And this was right after the Diddy thing.

And, dude, they all laughed.

And Russ just went like this, shook his hand and looked up.

And I go, Russ is laughing.

We're fine.

Yeah, thank God.

Yeah, thank God.

He knew you, by the way, I assume.

Yeah, yeah.

From Seattle.

Oh, great.

We're having this guy.

He's been fun.

I don't think he was pumped.

Yeah, he hasn't responded to my mom.

He had a good game yesterday.

He ripped it up there.

Almost 500 yards.

Yeah.

Career highs.

460.

I was telling Connor, I'd go, he might still have the best deep ball in football.

I mean, it's like he put this shit on the money.

It was on last night.

What on the money?

And how did it end, though?

Yeah, when he needed to complete one, he threw that nice deep ball right just right to the middle of the field.

And that's what you remember, right?

Can a corner?

Yeah, dude.

Yeah, it sucks that Russ had such a good game.

You think, boom, great.

I mean, such a great game.

He did.

And then

I mean, just the worst interception of all time.

I mean, yeah

i don't know what the beginning or the end for him was maybe the subway commercials you know i don't know the danger witch but subway is so the danger witch those are so tough even when charles bark was like i got the the 10 10 inch cookie like it they subway's just got to stop dude you know i know you're trying to like make up for jared fogel that was that was a long time ago that was here in indiana Oh, it was.

He's getting out soon, too, yeah.

There was helicopters.

AJ, put it on top of the camera.

Yeah, you keep daddy, AJ Peter.

AJ, what is it?

Did he get released soon?

I don't know, Pat.

You were the one that said you were in a VIP section with it, but he does get released in a couple of days.

That was when he was just Subway, Fatso, normal looking.

Bro, this is what I love about the Fogo shit is there's guys out there that definitely like went on the Subway diet and like probably pre-fogal, you know?

And so like, I'm sure when that happened, there were like guys at barbecues being like, you know, David, why don't you tell Frank you lost weight?

It's not important.

It's exactly that.

Just hard discipline and hard work.

He's like, no, he's eating Subway all day.

And they're like, oh, you're a Fogal guy?

He's like, oh, I get more.

You don't want to be labeled a Fogo guy.

So I'm going Joey Galloway.

I'm going Marshawn.

You got to throw Hasselback up there because he took us to a bowl.

And, you know, the refs took control of that one.

You say you hate Russ.

Okay.

He took you to a bowl.

Good to know.

Russ won you a bowl, brother.

Russ won you a bowl.

I'm talking about Hasselback.

Russ isn't on the rushmore for me.

See,

that's what we're talking about.

And that's because of the interception.

Russ,

I swear that is why.

If the Seahawks go back to back,

that's how it ended.

I think

I would have.

Definitely.

I've heard a lot of things.

I've heard,

man,

I've heard a lot of things from players, from coaches, from my stepdad, George.

I've heard a lot of things.

Putin, Dirte.

Dirte.

Dirte's in.

Dirte knows.

My wife, my wife, Ameda.

Shout out to my wife, Ameda.

Cardinals fan.

She

thinks the Cardinals are going to the bowl this year.

Nobody's perfect.

She's not Jewish, but she is circumcised.

But she is a great, she's a great gal.

I love my wife.

Ameda, I love you.

But I think that interception should not have happened.

I think Russ had every,

I think he could have just called an Audible, baby.

You hear that call?

Oh, so you want Russ to call out of that?

I think you call out of that a thousand times every time.

But I think

you want to be the hero, dude.

And I think, you know, it's so funny, I always tell Connor, I go, because, you know, anytime I meet a Pats fan, that day is one of the.

You know, I went to the bowl in

MetLife where the Hawks, you know, took care of Denver, where nobody picked us.

And after that snap went over Peyton's head, and he was like, Puppy Jones,

and Chef Payton.

Peyton's a great guy, by the way.

That was Peyton, yeah.

I don't do a Peyton Manning, but I do do a Jason Satham.

Here's Jason Satham finding out that he got bumped from the Pat McAfee show.

Ready?

Hey.

And so I'm sitting there.

And so I'm sitting there watching this snap go over Peyton's head, and everyone goes nuts.

And I'm like, there's a lot of Hawks fans here, right?

And

so cut to the next year.

I'm like, I'm going to fly up to Seattle and party in the streets.

I I flew my pops up with all my best buds from college, all their buddies.

We're in about 50 people in like one of these community rooms in their condo.

And Jermaine Kurse makes that wild circus catch.

You're thinking, like, David Tyree, this is going to happen again to the Pats, like down to the wire.

And then Marshawn runs in.

I remember he gets stopped.

And I just look over my dad and I go, ah, he goes, what?

I go, I feel like we needed to get it on that one.

And he goes, what the fuck does that mean?

And then literally we look up and boom.

And then nobody said anything.

I had friends there I hadn't seen in five years nobody said anything to anybody everybody just left it was like it was like the end of cool runnings like remember when like you know they lost and then they carried their thing down and then once they carried this sled down john canny was like let's go get some chipotle you know and uh i don't think you know i haven't seen that movie but it but it's uh you've definitely seen the movie i've seen cool runnings i was first in line when it came out you know what i also saw i saw mrs doubt fire when it came out

which was advertised as a like robin williams comedy like hello it's a run by fruits and you're like dude Williams at its best.

Opening scene, Sally Field's like, get the fuck out of my house.

You had a llama on my dining room table.

You're shot about.

Had to battle through that.

Bro, my folks.

Had to battle through that.

My folks had gotten divorced maybe a month prior.

I'm sitting there.

It's like taking somebody to see Black Hawk Down when they just got back from Iraq.

I mean, I'm like, dude, I just saw the same fight a week ago.

So I'm triggered.

I'm crying.

My buddy's like, are you crying?

I'm like, it's so funny.

And,

but shout out to, shout out to that movie.

Robin Williams is like, you know, that's that, you want to talk about goats to me, but so we're going beast mode.

We're going.

Hey, Matt Hasselback.

Matt Hasselback.

Definitely dog.

Joy Galloway.

Joy Galloway.

Man, you know what?

You're going to love this one.

Cam Chancellor, dude.

Hell yeah.

Cam Chancellor was a game changer.

Sherman, Earl Thomas.

Dude, I mean, you can go down the list.

Browner.

You could put the Legion of Boom in there as one of the...

You could, but I think Cam Chancellor.

You don't even want to do that.

I was giving you an out, but you're like, Matt.

no no well i mean but that's obvious dude they obviously were that that was that there'll never be a group like that ever the way that it got put together with wagner and cage and them all being so young and so on the same page and it was it was insane to watch it was like you know the same way people talk about um in seattle if you got to go see griffey play live or getting to see jordan like every city i think has a version of that guy that's what it was like going to hox games and you got to see danny dimes yesterday

in indie

in the lighthouse yeah dude you guys going i mean when you were saying man we just haven't been hasn't been excitement like this in a hot minute and feeling that in the stadium and uh and when who's your what's your field goal kicker's name uh spencer shrader yeah spencer shrader did i go to middle school with that spencer schrader yeah it might have been let's go yeah i think he's much younger than you but let's go

uh yeah he uh when he shanked the first one i mean it was the wind got taken out it was like everyone found out they were on the epstein list at the same same time.

It was like, you know what I'm saying?

Everyone collectively was like, no,

I thought I wasn't there.

You know, yeah, here we go.

Just came up short.

And right.

And right.

Damn, it was bad ball early.

But then the one down the middle, I mean, yeah, you can't choose.

They're cheap.

Can I be honest?

When you said to me at one point, you go, if we lose this game, you're never welcome back.

Not only in the suite, you said in the city.

And then, and we believed it.

And even Sally was like, I seconded that.

And I was like, I thought we were friends.

And then

I sang my heart out for your birthday.

And then,

and then, dude, and then Blue is doing the pelvic thrust from New Kids on the Block.

I mean, by the way, you guys just have all the right things clicking to that stadium.

Right now.

Right now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Now, this is 2-0 at home, right?

So, like, I don't know how you are on the road.

You know, time will tell.

Oh, we're going to meet and find out next week.

Times is a road

tightness.

I'll tell you this, though.

I mean, confidence

in any avenue, right, is like huge.

Like, you get a good, like, you know, obviously, like, once, you know, like coming off these five sold-out shows at Helium, which was shout out to everybody that came to the shows.

Yo, your boy Derek came last night.

Derek on Mike.

And boy, Murph.

Can you see me?

Evo.

Evo.

He came to the show, which is big time.

It was awesome.

But like, you know, you're riding that high into my shows for next week or whatever.

Yeah, what are you?

So you're in the middle of a run right now.

Huge tour right now.

I'm doing clubs everywhere.

I go to Milwaukee the 26th to 28th.

And then we're talking Cincinnati,

then Kansas City, then Baltimore, then Jacksonville.

No, sorry, then Charlotte, North Carolina, then San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth.

Big theater show in Seattle, my first one on December 19th at the Moore Theater.

It's already 60% sold out.

It's the day after Thursday Night Football.

Rams at Seahawks.

The whole team, I think, is coming through.

Beast mode.

I just partied with him in Ireland when I was doing a show out there.

We drank Hennessy until 3 a.m.

Shout out to Beast Mode.

Not coming to the show, just in general.

He's on my show.

No, he's coming to the show.

I think he almost came on stage during my show in Ireland, but he was just like, nah, man, I'm here to support me, do your thing.

But I was like, you want to come on stage?

We can fuck around.

But maybe in Seattle.

But yeah, huge tour up through the fall.

And then I'm announcing a big theater tour, my first theater tour, for January through April.

You know, every year you want to stack the chips, get better, and once you start selling out shows in the clubs, then you know, people in your world go, I think it's, I think it's time for theaters, baby.

So then, yeah.

Congratulations.

That's awesome.

That's a huge deal.

It's cool, man.

Yeah, we'll see.

Hopefully, people just got to come out.

All the tickets are at AdamRaycomedy.com.

Dr.

Phil Lives are all on YouTube.

YouTube.com/slash Adam Ray Comedy.

We got a new one dropping this week.

I mean, we've had everybody on, too, man.

Jellyroll, you know, Tony, obviously.

You know, Burr's done it twice.

Nikki Glazer, all the Workaholics guys.

Real Phil came on the Netflix special, which was crazy.

You know, it was so funny.

He was back there.

I met him 20 minutes before the show, and

he was like, now it's your show, but I'm going to fuck with you.

And

I'm in full Phil makeup, and I go, I'm going to fuck with you, too.

I go, I know you better than you.

I go, I know me better than I know you, motherfucker.

And he was like, what the fuck?

He was a little phased out, but he was a great sport.

And the whole show is improvised.

And we got one last big one on December 16th at the Wiltern in L.A.

And it's going to be bananas.

The show sell out, so we don't announce the guests.

So, you know, maybe we'll see a surprise visit from

your boy over here.

Who knows?

Who knows?

I'll fight you out, Spirit.

Wednesday?

It's Tuesday, December 6th.

Spirit is the Denny's of the sky, but they are.

Well, moon's over my hammy.

You're right.

I take it back.

Yeah, Blue.

Dude, you remember the great, where, you know what?

There's always like a VH1 where are they now?

Like, you know, the kids from the Goonies or like, you know, the kids from BB Mac or whatever.

Nobody cares.

But they, but the Denny's gals.

Remember the Denny's gals that were like, it's $2.99.

Are you out of your mind?

Remember them?

Oh, yeah.

I really couldn't fucking believe you could get breakfast for three bucks.

And they were only in their 60s.

Those were the days.

They were.

They were like your mom's age, but they were like, three bucks for bacon and eggs?

Pull the blow.

Dennis was awesome.

And those ladies were right.

They were right.

That was crazy.

They lived at Denny's.

They were like, you know what's the best part about Denny's in L.A.

on Halloween?

You'll see like Batman and Jack Sparrow at like 2 a.m.

Just slamming down some pancakes.

Yeah, you're never gonna see that in spirit.

So you need to maybe have a little bit more respect.

Whatever you say together.

Spirit, hey, they just like fixed their seatbelt.

I think they got seatbelts now.

So got a pay for them.

Shout out to Spirit.

All right.

We sent out a tweet earlier.

You're going to be great for this.

About, you know, we want to hear from the NFL fans from around the league.

We want to hear your thoughts.

We want you to showcase why this is called Overreaction Monday.

All you have to do is put out all your emotions into one tweet and make sure you use the hashtag.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but

you see that.

You'll catch the beats there.

At the end, the butt is all of us together.

Ty went through all of the tweets that were sent in, picked out his favorites.

It became a number one trend on X, which we're very thankful for how active it has become.

But these become must read.

Ty, how are they this week?

I think much better this week.

Still a little optimism for teams last week, so people were overreacting, but not really selling out.

There are some pissed off people this morning.

All All right, let's dive into them.

I don't think this one's pissed off.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but

says Connor.

Everyone and anyone can see it.

Some will deny it.

Some will laugh at it, but it's too obvious to avoid.

The Pats are going to win a Super Bowl with Raybel and May.

Not this year.

Maybe.

But at some point, those two will hoist a Lombardi.

Pats are back Jack Conman.

Not an overreaction.

No, no, no.

All you're really looking for is a great head coach and a great quarterback, and the Patriots got both of them.

I mean, there's other spots they need to get better at.

Whatever.

I don't care.

This year, we're not going to win the Super Bowl because next year we might.

And then the year after.

And then all of a sudden, 15 years later, the Pats have been the one, two, or three seed with Mike Vrable at the helm.

Feel very good about that.

How do we feel about the Patriots maybe being back at him?

You know,

it's good for football when the Pats are doing what they're doing.

I just want to hear it.

That is so interesting.

That is so interesting.

I feel bad.

I feel bad.

I'm over the Super Bowl loss.

Times are changing.

But, you know, you're dealing with a lot with Belichick.

You know, like he's getting a lot of flack.

You know, his girl's on the sidelines ordering postmates and getting in his ear.

And just, it's a lot.

So I feel like I...

We don't know if she's ordering postmates.

She's doing something down there.

She's in his ear.

What is she doing?

What is she doing down there?

They were saying she was asking him for money for the concession stand.

No,

she runs all the social and digital.

It ain't postmates or can't.

That was online.

No, I think she was asking.

She was like, is it T-H-E-I-R or T-H-E-R-E?

She was like, you never know, especially on X, she is a social media person, but she Air Jordan.

Yeah.

H-E-I-R Jordan.

Yeah.

What?

Beast.

I think she's...

She has stayed in the pocket.

Oh, yeah.

Hasn't she?

You don't think so?

Yeah, no, I agree.

I was bummed.

They actually tried to, she tried to trademark all of his taglines from the Patriots, but then did parentheses Bill's version, like Taylor Swift, which is kind of cool.

And so she tried to do that.

And so now I don't like North Carolina anymore.

Wow.

What?

What?

I thought we liked North Carolina.

No, no, no.

Go, Duke.

We're my Duke.

Stand up, blue devils.

All right, let's go to the next overreaction.

It's from Tone Diggs live in Hammer Don.

Todd.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but

cheering for a team is the dumbest thing a human can do.

Low had it right.

Let's go, NFL.

Cheering for a team.

Processing men's new era graphite NFL training camp 970 adjustable hat with just NFL on it.

Okay.

Let's go to Hammer.

Toad, love it.

You're an NFL fan now, just like Gumpy.

Yeah, that's Rob Lowe, star of 911 Lone Star.

Oh, yeah.

I remember the hat with him sitting in the house.

Yeah, I was just thinking, I was like, I was, so I don't, I don't have a Division I football team to root for, so I just have fun on Saturdays and I enjoy football.

And then Sundays, my life is fucking miserable.

So I was like, you know what?

I don't want my life to be miserable Sundays anymore.

I'm just going to be an NFL fan.

So that's kind of, I ordered the hat today.

I feel really good about it.

NFL.

NFL.

NFL.

NFL.

NFL.

Gumpy had a little passion behind that chant there.

Yeah, it's dark days.

You know, Tua just takes the stand and it's just, it's terrible.

It's, it's, can't get any worse.

Takes the stand.

Was he on trial without?

No, when he takes the stand and does the post-game interviews, I can't take it out.

Talking of Tua.

Yeah, we like when Tua's talking because we learn a little bit about real Tua.

Show me the money.

I felt like I knew the guy.

Show me the money.

After getting a deal, did you see that video?

No.

It's a good video.

Some would argue that was also the downfall of Russ, Mr.

Unlimited.

It was.

It was not a good look.

And then he was like, I don't know.

A lot of the selfie.

Here's the thing with the problem with social media.

It's great because now we know exactly, you know, where Kardashians get their smoothies from.

You know, it's great to know, like, oh, dude, like, you know,

the kid from Home Improvement got a DUI.

Like, we get to see.

AJ's related to him.

It's It's AJ's cousin.

Yes.

We'll be right back.

You're related to Zachary Ty Bryant?

I'm not.

My wife is quasi.

What about JTT?

What about Jonathan Taylor Thomas?

No, not JTT.

Just Z to the B, as he would call me.

Zachary Ty Bryant.

He did come to our wedding back in the day.

Let's go.

I used to play the clarinet.

But we

that's awesome, though.

Wait, he came to your wedding?

Was it dope?

Was everyone freaking out?

He was having a good time driving around.

Oh, it was amazing.

He came to me.

I was freaking out.

We went out with him out in L.A.

like 15, 18 years ago.

Yeah, he ran that place.

He rips it up.

JTT went to SC while I was there.

Or no, he just was at a frat party across the street.

I was in the Jew frat API, and it was Sigma Kai across the street.

And I met a Euro next to him.

I'd never seen a famous person.

I ran to Larry King while I was high at the Grove, seeing a movie.

I think it was like Toy Story 2 or something.

And he's there with a kid.

And I walk up to him with the automated snack machine.

And I go, holy shit.

I go, Larry King.

I go, big fan, man.

By the way, in my head, I was like, I got to say something.

No, you don't.

Just let him be.

Larry's Larry's better off not having a stony encounter from some fucking.

So I was like, I go, okay.

And he was like, how are you?

And I was like, good man.

I go, how you doing?

And then he was like, I'm fine.

I'm with my nephew.

Do you mind?

And I go, not at all.

I just got interviewed by Larry King.

And he was like, huh?

And I was like, I'm going to get some licorice.

Peace.

And then went back to the theater.

But JTT.

Great interaction there?

What'd you say immediately afterwards?

You said I nailed that?

Yeah, oh yeah, I felt like it.

And Larry King saying, what on?

I was in the pocket.

Larry King probably, I mean, he didn't care enough to talk about about it on the show, but he

but he, but he, JTT was right next to me, and I was like, same thing.

And I was just like, I wanted a moment.

So I look over and I was like, by the way, not a fan of talking to the urinal.

Where do we all stand on that?

I'm with you.

What do you mean?

Where do we all stand on?

We're all in the same.

Small talk.

I was once in an airport and the guy looks over.

He goes, is it me?

Is my dick just smaller or is this urinal make it?

Is it urinal too big?

And I was like, hey, your penis is fine.

Like, I don't know what this, like, you know, he just almost sucked me into that conversation.

So I look over at JTT.

He did suck you.

And I look over at JTT, and I go.

He baited Bubba.

He made a bubble in the bathroom.

I go, what's up, JTT?

And he was like, hey, just so thrown off that.

And he was like, what's up, man?

And I was like, yeah, this party's crazy, right?

And he was like, yeah, yeah.

And I go,

yeah.

I drew fucking Tim Allen for it, bro.

All he did was just go,

like, shake his head, but it's like, dude, like, you nailed it there.

You sound like you had a pretty good little grunt.

Nailed it, dude.

You know, I just was like, dude, if I ever see one of the the tim taylor kids i'm gonna i'm gonna do my tim taylor throw a choice honey brimmer's a great show great show underrated tua has not been great tua's not been great yeah for the miami dolphins and uh is it because is it because he's shake is it is he playing timid is he playing scared or i don't know uh dumpy what do you fan of the dolphins my thing is he had his best year when he was like bigger

He was jacked the year he had in 2023.

When he got fat and he was rolling.

Didn't he?

Jiu-Jitsu?

Yeah, Jiu-Jitsu worked out all offseason, didn't get hurt.

And then we decide we're going to scrap that and just change everything.

And now we're shit.

Got paid.

He played well yesterday.

That's fine.

He also missed Tyreek on the exact same ball he threw the interception on when they played here.

Like he misses those chances when he could have taken that game yesterday and went and won that game.

Yeah, Gumps doesn't like that.

That Tua changed trainers.

He just goes to this trainer.

He just moved on.

Gump doesn't like that.

Did he really?

He changed the training regimen.

And look, I told you guys, Tony, you're coming over to the dark side.

Gump, I saw your tweet.

You sound like you're coming over to the dark side.

Don't let these organizations hold you hostage for five, six months.

You're going to stink, look, Packers fan, I get it.

Thank you.

Patriots, a lot of success, a lot of parades, I get it.

Stillers, six titles, I get it.

25 years, pick another team.

Get another.

Maybe go to the small.

Maybe go to NFC.

Maybe go to different divisions.

Don't let them hold you hostage.

I mean,

we sit at four, seven, ten hours watching football.

You just got to be shitty all week, all season long, because your team stinks.

Organization top-down.

I mean, come on, man.

Yeah, you're supposed to be.

Free country.

You're supposed to be waiting all day till Sunday night, not hating all day

until Sunday night.

If your team is ass, you're saying, don't be scared to snoop around, maybe pick up another team for a couple weeks, maybe forever.

Why not?

Or just say you're a fan of the players.

Use that gimmick.

Oh, I'm a fan of the players.

That gimmick sucks.

Don't do that.

I love Jayla.

I love Justin Hurts.

I root for the Chargers.

I like Taylor Hurts.

I root for the Earth.

Yeah, use that gimmick.

Oh,

shut up.

How about this?

If you like Jalen Hurts, root for the Eagles.

If you like, who's the other player you said?

Herbert.

Whatever.

Have fun.

Go, Chargers.

Don't do the player shit.

That sucks.

That's the generation that doesn't go outside.

You're not a real fan.

That's the same generation that rooted out.

That's real team fandom, you're saying.

This is fantasy football.

Boom.

If you want to be

exactly drafted fantasy team.

What percentage of fantasy football players you think are that way that are just rooting for the players for the team?

I think this has gone through a cycle.

I think there was a time where it was just players.

I think everybody still likes players, but I think being a team fan has become more of an in thing.

Yes, I think personally.

They made it easier to join teams, too.

Like where

they have the commercials with all the celebrities that are repping their team.

Like, I forget, there's Twitch guys that were in it that I can't think of their names.

Ninja?

Yeah, maybe Ninja.

And that other guy, Tell, with a T.

Tim the Tatman.

Tim the Tatman, yeah.

Like people who.

A lot of T is three teams.

Yeah, right.

Four T.

You can't remember the Twitch guys' names?

That's weird.

So nobody fucking knows who we were either.

Okay.

I didn't claim to

sound like, sound like you kind of were.

Oh,

you were just shitting on all of Twitch here.

Is that what that was?

Well, no,

I've been on this for a long time.

Their names are so weird.

It's always like Bubble McBubblestein or fucking something like that, you know?

They do have cool, crafty names.

They do.

Over there, Twitch.

Is Twitch still going?

Where's Bill?

Is Twitch still a thing?

i'm not still farting around yeah is it yeah kick still a thing is kai on twitch i think so what's kai on i have no way i think

what's speed on

everything everything speed's everything

he's definitely on dog kick i thought they're everywhere what's that bill

bill

geez bill it's got twitch is still a thing although they are desperately desperately losing money okay who's on twitch where's kai and i show speed and uh that entire streamer university group?

What are they on right now?

So I think they bounce around.

Like Kai will go back and forth.

I think his last one was on YouTube, but he will do stuff on Twitch.

I think

Kick is another big one that Gumpy just said.

That's where like Aiden Ross and a bunch of those guys are.

It's kind of just like a free-for-all right now on where people are.

They'll get paid for like three-month runs at a time.

and do stuff on those platforms.

All right.

Well, good luck to everybody for three months at a time.

Hey, sometimes you got to live life three months at a time.

That's right.

Fast and furious.

Exactly.

Okay, what's the next overreaction?

Oh, geez.

It sucks that he got hurt.

Turf toe.

It's also like when the injuries just don't sound cool and sexy, what a bummer.

Tennis elbow.

Tennis elbow.

Yeah, that stupid wrist.

Premature ejaculation.

Like, there's just so many things that take you out and you just can't.

I don't think.

No one's set out for that, no?

Well, maybe.

Actually, I don't know what's going on in Britain.

We don't know.

About 30 years.

The next overreaction comes from a Giants fan, Bruce Brown.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

Oh, Bruce, be happy.

At least it was an entertaining close game where the offense scored points.

No, I won't be happy.

James Hudson embarrassed the program.

You can't touch Dak Prescott without a rough in the passer.

The kickoff goes to the 35, and Aubrey is probably good from there.

Giants football is hell.

See you all on Sunday night football, but hey, Russ was slinging it.

Sure sounds like a lot of condescending remarks from Bruce Brown.

Bruce, it was an entertaining loss, was it not?

Oh, you're muted.

Oh, you're muted.

Jeez.

God fucking damn it, this Giants football team, man.

Even I can't do anything right.

I'm so sick of fucking losing and just showing up every Sunday.

And we got James Hudson just doing the most embarrassing, just slapping a guy upside the head, fucking slamming him into the ground after a play right afterwards.

He should have been ejected probably for that.

Two personal fouls.

Get the hell out of here.

He's false starting every other fucking play.

I'm just so sick of losing.

I'm sick of losing to the Cowboys and Brandon Aubrey, who's just like a golden boy, good from fucking 75 to nightmare.

Congrats to Russ throwing the ball.

He can keep the seat warm for another week or two.

Awesome, Scatterboo.

Scatterboo's running wild.

He's fucking rolling through people.

He's awesome, awesome to watch.

But god damn it, I just want to win some fucking balls.

You're not inspired at all by that performance?

I mean, like, it was entertaining?

Yeah, right?

Yeah, I'll take the moral victory of, you know, our head coach has no control.

Obviously.

Our potential falling off.

There's no discipline at all.

We're fighting on the sideline.

But hey, Russ turned back the clock for a Sunday.

We can bank on that every weekend.

Maybe we'll win a couple, 39 to 37.

That'd be nice.

What the hell happened to the defense?

I thought Abdul Carter.

Yeah.

Yeah, actually, we're going to be the best in line in football.

It is just one of those things where the stink of sucking for so long is just so a part of our DNA now, where it's 13-10.

We got a halftime lead, and you just know we're going to lose the game somehow.

You know, it took a little while.

We really strung it out, went to overtime, But,

yeah, just the losing football team doing losing football team shit.

That was his second penalty there, I think, on the same drive there.

They were on a third and 20.

He said, let's back that up another five at least.

I'm a false start.

And then later in the drive, he would get a late hit, basically, unnecessary roughness, where he would drive his forearm through the back of a guy's head after the ball had been released.

And then they get all the way down, and then he would false start, just run all the way into the defenses.

Yeah, here's the unsportsmanlike conduct after a play.

Yeah, that was after two penalties already.

That was his third penalty.

And then a few plays later, he would

decide to get off on the ball just a little bit too quick.

Tough Sunday for James.

Yes.

I think everybody would say.

There he is.

That's his fourth penalty in the same drive.

Four penalties, same drive.

640 in the first.

Okay, and then also gave up sack, I do believe.

And it inevitably led to Dayball saying, okay, how much more are we doing?

Get him out.

Get him out.

Get him out.

And then afterwards, there was a little bit of a differing of opinion.

Maybe he was just upset for how bad it all went maybe some people said that can't happen in professional football whatever it was a lot of emotions so whatever and jameis closed it up bringing him back down so we're it's okay

you got more penalties than anybody we've ever seen in one drive for most amount of yards and also the time in which you got him absolutely despicable i mean all of it's bad but next week we're gonna be better he got paid i believe uh some money uh

what is the deal that you guys have for him yeah it's uh two years 12 million it would he was us shoring up our o-line It's like, okay, Andrew Thomas coming back from Liz Frank.

At least we got James Hudson to kind of, you know, handle things.

Obviously, not.

He's fired up.

He's fired up.

I love the passion.

I love the passion, but hey, just between the lines, maybe not when the ref is like right in front of you.

Do you shove the guy's head into the fucking ground after like a 40-yard pass play?

First and goal.

It's all right, Bruce.

Not every action.

A very sane, normal response.

You're fine.

You know those four teams that started 0-2 to end up going to the Super Bowl?

Guess who one of them was?

Oh.

Eli Manning.

The New York Football Giants.

Was that Tom Coughlin's team?

That was Tommy C., yeah.

Discipline.

Feels the same.

The New York Giants are certainly a team that we can look forward to for bringing entertainment through that guy.

That's right.

Yesterday, he was loud in that sweep.

Cool, boy.

Russ hits at deep all fourth quarter very late.

You know, we're talking yelling.

Oh!

Because it was quiet in the stadium, too.

Yeah, because what was going on in the Colts game was nothing at the time.

Maybe offense was on the field.

Like, who knows?

Maybe even having a moment of silence.

It might have been before the game started, but

who knows what was happening?

He's screaming, losing his mind in the entirety.

So it's been fun to watch you.

So we shout out the Giants for being the type of football that they are.

Let's go to the next overreaction.

Josh Dorsey.

And Adam, you're a part of this.

This is at J underscore Dorsey3.

Follower of the program.

We appreciate him.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

Bud,

who's Colts Punter?

Great question.

I'm asked because we only know goddamn punter.

First time in a Super Bowl era a team hasn't put it within the first two games.

Danny Dimes is is an alien.

This is a Brotherhood Colts Super Bowl.

This one, winner.

And Adam, you were there.

You felt it.

Hot, dude.

Hot vibes, cool treats.

We treat you right.

Dairy Queen.

It was.

That's right.

It's a blizzard.

It was a blizzard of greatness.

It's a whiteout.

Oh, bro.

It was.

Also, dude, there's something about like being around an environment in a squad like that where you know like the fans want it so bad, dude.

So like the energy is just palpable and infectious.

But yeah, dude, that

kick was incredible.

I think if I think if you guys go 3-0,

dude, I mean, I might just have to fly back for every home game.

Come on.

I mean, I don't want to.

I don't know if you're sitting with us, but you can definitely.

Second team.

Joe, you're welcome one to the next time.

I reached out to his box.

Do they always do the red dawn, dropping the t-shirts with the umbrellas with the fucking parachutes with me?

Yeah, Sam tries to win that every week.

Yeah, so it always goes to the same section.

Ah.

Those things are falling to the same section basically every single time.

That's fucked up.

Yeah.

Well, the only reason why I know that is because Sam has been desperately trying to win one since we got there, like pushing people out of the way.

Every once in a while, Wind Gust will bring one kind of closer to us.

Real excitement comes, and then that thing just goes right back to the same section.

But there's good stuff out there.

The helmet.

Did you see the helmet one?

Yeah.

Did you see the helmet mix?

They've added a couple things.

Last week, they sent all the helmets off the camera.

Oh, wow.

I like that.

And then they said, we're just joking.

Nice.

Nice.

Brought it back.

Nice.

Opened it back up.

So it gave somebody a chance to catch up halfway through.

That's good.

Wait, how do you feel about the no punting

so uh rigoberto had a punt in the first game he had it for like 60 some yards penalty roughing first down we went on to score obviously we scored every single drive in that game and then the first three the goal of the the game is to have no punts and that is very much the goal so i think i as a punter and rigoberto definitely is a punter for the colts i don't know about how everybody would feel but we love it Punters love having a good time.

We like winning.

Yeah, if we don't got to do shit, let's keep winning this whole thing.

I kicked off, and obviously you hold as well.

So if we were winning, I still had a little bit to do.

Rego does not kick off.

Spencer Schrader needs to figure out his kickoffs.

Maybe Rego should kick off, actually.

Might be something to think about there.

But yeah, no punts good.

There's no punter being like, man, I need two, three punts.

Kind of get it.

I wish I'd get four or five punts in this entire thing.

Joe Judge.

I don't know if anybody's doing that.

Now, Joe Judge, trying to get the team, get the punter into the game early is certainly a decision.

Certainly a decision.

I mean, I never punted.

I was a guy in Madden.

If it was fourth and 29, I was like, we're going for it.

Yeah, you got gotta play.

Every time.

Yeah, you got the play.

Every time.

Who punts in Madden?

Raise your hands.

Losers.

Losers.

Bruce punts.

He's a Joint family.

Jesus.

Matt El Rio, defensive mastermind.

Wow, Mr.

Unlimited back there, huh?

Let's go to another overreaction, shall we?

This is from Joe Malavia.

Paison here really loves football.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but.

As a Bengals fan, the season's over.

I would seriously look into trading Joe Burrow this offseason.

He can't stay on the field.

Top two QB when he's healthy, but

that when is doing a lot of heavy lifting, blow it up and try again with Arch in 2026.

Okay, still one Arch.

Wow.

Yeah, still an Arch.

That's what I heard AJ's Edward Ohio saying.

We got Arch Manning billboards around time.

I have not seen any of those yet, but you never know.

What about Kirk Cousins?

Is he a possibility on 1,000,

right?

It's got to be.

They were thinking about him being traded before the season started.

Michael Pennick's clearly going to be the guy for them.

You've been watching this QB show on Netflix?

With Kirk?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, brother.

I mean, dude, he's like just foaming at the mouth.

Just like, I'm going to just be a good guy and just, you know, help Mike win.

But, you know, like when the cameras go, he's like, all right, thanks so much for being here, guys.

Oh, did you get the coupons for the Panera broccoli cheddar soup?

Okay.

Thank you so much, man.

No, you get, really appreciate you guys being here.

I said, and again, you can sleep over next time if you want.

Okay, thank you.

Door closes.

Fuck!

I mean, that guy is, I think, just needs to play, you know?

He needs to have the keys.

He needs to have the keys to the Hyundai Tucson, you you know?

I don't think he does have a Hyundai Tucson, and

him and his boys can build a great fire.

And

he has that brain thing he puts on his head.

Oh, yeah, dude.

He's one of one, I do believe.

And why not since it's the best option right now?

Why not, right?

Also, I think it could give up that tab.

2025, I think.

Jake Browning over Kirk.

Really?

Personally.

Jake Browning's got

big slinging.

He does.

We like Jake Browning.

I'm a fan.

He's got great moxie, too.

Jake Browning can talk.

Young stud.

From what I've seen, Jake Browning's got moxie.

He does.

He's got game.

Yeah.

Could be a college football coach if he had to be.

Wow.

Guy can play.

He can.

He can.

Oh, I know.

I'm a believer.

Okay, we'll see if

Cincinnati Bengals can somehow get lucky one time.

Do you think that's going to happen?

I don't know.

Typically, when

your star players want money

and you say to them, like, what, at a certain point, why don't you just shut your fucking mouth and be happy that we're even.

Yeah, but they end up giving a little bit more money.

They kind of.

we'll see if that's the reality because the Pittsburgh Steelers give Cam Hayward more money, but they did it.

It was three million bucks in the center.

This was a little bit more.

He got his hand on the ball interception, obviously.

Cam Hayward was doing his thing.

Let's go to another overreaction, shall we?

This is from Aaron Clinton at hi, my name is Ninja.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but Chiefs is no longer Chiefs.

Go run, boys.

But the O-line is worse than last year somehow.

Mike go winless and get the number one overall pick.

Hashtag, see you at the draft.

Whoa.

Chiefs fans going through it right now, A.

They really are, dude.

I'm going to the steak restaurant on Wednesday for Pat and Trav 1587 Prime.

I mean, I was fired up, but,

you know, I mean, I still am fired up.

I'm going to eat everything.

I'm going to, you know, it's going to be great.

But, I mean, doesn't that affect like you're not winning?

You're 0-2?

Yeah, steakhouse is probably not going to have good vibes.

Yeah, exactly.

Not allowed to have good vibes, Rowan, too.

My Billard sign.

Do you feel bad if you're doing...

No, probably not, right?

That's a big deal.

They'll celebrate and just get back to it.

No, they've done a lot.

You got to shake it off, right?

Obviously, Patrick and Travis.

Oh, they own that city.

Dude, I was once there with Pat, and he was doing my podcast back in the day, and we're rolling around, and we're in the gas station.

He's just saying hi, taking pics with everybody.

I mean, it's like mayor of the, it's, I mean, football, I was in this little comedy club, and he just came through, sat in the back of the big tracksuit by himself, and the staff at this comedy club could not believe, it was like they were meeting Jesus and Bieber together.

Yeah, let's go football party.

We believe in one of you, but we can't believe you're both here, you know?

And

they were freaking out, dude.

And he was just like, man, are the people taking pictures?

One guy, though, did who was filming my shows.

I'm sure you guys have experienced this, where you just meet somebody and you're trying to do something nice, and they just take advantage.

And he goes,

the guy just was filming my shows, and then he goes, Travis, what's up, man?

And then just goes on Instagram live and goes, I'm here with my main man, Travis Gelsey.

And I was like, dude.

Sounds like Albert a little bit.

Yeah, it was me.

But I didn't

felt comfy.

Yeah.

Let's go to the next overreaction.

Chiefs fans might be a a little bit upset.

Andrew, hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

Dane Campbell is the deliverer foretold.

The warrior of destiny in the prophesied.

Prophesied?

Prophesied.

He spelled it wrong, but you get it.

You sounded it out correctly.

Prophesied champion.

The Lions look great in week two, and it's because of MCDC.

Build the statue.

Sign him for 100 years and promote him the senior manager at Applebee's.

Applebee's commercial this year is ass for MCDC.

Not good.

We thought that was going to be a trend for how the entire Lions season was going to be.

We thought it was the same old Lions.

We thought Detroit was back to sucking.

You're all the way back, Foxy.

Is Andrew on the same page as you?

Yeah, I love everything what Andrew said there.

I mean, MCDC, I said it last year.

Give him a lifetime contract.

Give Jared Goff a lifetime contract because the Lions were absolutely irrelevant until those guys came in here.

So I love what Andrew's doing.

And let's be honest, last week was probably the most hell Detroit's been in with the Lions for so long long because before those guys, expectations were so low, so no one cared.

And then after that, they just won every single year and continued to get better.

Last week, they finally regressed.

So Detroit was in hell.

The coaching came back, won a game, we're back.

Let's stay in the NFC North.

We actually have some breaking news.

I believe this is what Schefter was referring to as obviously a part of his bad news that was coming.

Vikings quarterback J.J.

McCarthy is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks with a high ankle spread.

With McCarthy out, Carson Wentz is now in line to start.

Carson Wentz football is back.

J.J.

McCarthy, we hope you get healthy.

Obviously, it wasn't the greatest game for the Minnesota Vikings offense last night.

J.J.

McCarthy in that fourth quarter, the first game, showcased absolute excellence.

Him getting hurt again, obviously, sucks for the development of J.J.

and the entire JJ McCarthy era.

But now, one ankle sprain opens the door for potential two ankle sprains.

Two sprains, Carson Wentz back on a field.

We saw him here in the Indianapolis Colts.

When he's playing great ball, it is electrifying.

When he's making some decisions that cost your entire city team and everything the game, it's not as fun.

He's been through it, though.

Maybe a little bit more mature.

Maybe in the Kevin O'Connell offense, he has a chance.

But if two sprains gets going out there, this Vikings team is going to go off without a hitch.

NFC North needs to be scared as shit about Carson Wentz taking over him.

Yeah, we'll see.

I mean, I'm excited to see if he can just listen to what Kevin O'Connell says and not do all the other bullshit, all the extracurricular bullshit that he's kind of been known for doing the last several years where it's like, hey, you know, we just need to pick up three yards for a first down and kind of get this drive moving.

You don't have to throw it 150 yards downfield, which Wentz tends to do, but I love this.

I mean, everyone, you know, JJ was the prince who was promised.

We were kind of already starting that.

Let's see if Carl Wentz can kind of turn his career around.

I mean, we might be talking, you know, we said, hey, same thing with Mac Jones and Brock Purdy.

Are we looking at a situation where Carson Wentz potentially is the QB of the future for the Minnesota Vikings?

I think there's a chance.

There's also breaking news coming out about Jaden Daniels.

He had a minor knee sprain that they got.

I'm texting it in right now.

Okay.

Underwon an MRI following the loss to the Packers was diagnosed with a sprained knee.

Not a long-term injury, but Daniel's status this week, friends of the Raiders is in doubt.

Holy shit.

wow so that's what shafter said he was referring to jalen johnson jaden daniels jj mccarthy now three injuries reported here on this overreaction monday seemingly people losing time throughout the season that sucks did not know that about jaden had what when was it do we know when it was i don't i mean he was under pressure all night like so but he didn't during the game you know he was i mean they looked not yeah he wasn't as elusive he wasn't able to get away from guys but it never looked like he was really hurt there was one tackle i remember uh that was like just one of those awkward ones where his leg went into the ground and it just kind of like moved a little bit while it was at Lambo.

I remember them showing the replay.

Fourth quarter?

Yeah, yeah, in the fourth quarter, but he didn't come out.

He just kept playing.

He actually waved someone off after the play in the fourth quarter.

This is always the tough thing, too, with having a quarterback that can run, right?

Where you just like, at some point, somebody's going to land on your foot or your leg, or you're going to slide the wrong way, or you're going to see a hole.

You're still an aggressive competitor, so you want to get a few more yards and extend the play, but that might be the play that gets Kirk Cousins called in.

Amen.

On that note, though, whenever Lamar Jackson was up, when he was a free agent, he was representing himself.

There was a lot going on.

A lot of people were like, it's going to be impossible to deal with.

They were trying to spread bad things because he didn't have an agent.

Okay.

So the word was, he's going to get hurt.

He's going to get hurt.

Can't pay a guy that plays football like that.

He's going to get hurt.

He's going to get hurt.

Some guys.

have an incredible ability to just avoid the big collisions.

Now, granted, in the pocket, anybody can get hurt in the pocket.

Joe Burrow got hurt in the pocket.

Seems like Jaden maybe got hurt in the pocket.

So it's like

Brock Purdy got hurt in the pocket.

So like those in the pocket injuries, if you're not a durable person, I think can show up or you can get unlucky and kind of get twisted up in there.

But the guys that run, I think, and Josh Allen's looking for contact, but if they make it to the NFL and they can run, they also have an ability to avoid hits, which is a skill.

Like I watched T.Y.

Hilton just won in the FIU Hall of Fame back.

Congratulations, T.Y.

I watched T.Y.

Hilton, undersized wide receiver, but very fast, could get open and understood ball.

So like he was a great asset.

But like his first couple games, he'd get the ball and then he would go down before taking a hit.

Colts fans were not happy.

They're like, hey, let's go.

And then all of a sudden, like week 14, week 15, he's still playing.

And it's because he's not taking the dumb hits that you don't have to take.

So like running quarterbacks just can't take the big hits.

Yeah.

Have to know how to not do it.

But if you're in the pocket and you get ripped up,

that's a nasty place to be.

That was the burrow thing you were talking about earlier, like where he wanted to get hit early.

He's like, No, you don't, bro.

We need you not getting hit.

Man, Jaden Dana.

You're going to take the hits regardless of what type of quarterback you are.

Like, you're in there.

And that's why, like, the quarterbacks that have these Ironman streaks, like Brett Favre playing his mini games, you know, Peyton Tom, you know, he had the ACL year, but most of these guys, like, we always say your best ability is availability.

Like, if you have that same quarterback trotting out, like, that's a huge deal just to have that.

So, when you have these quarterbacks that you know miss three games here, miss four games here, miss six here.

I mean, there is something for you know, playing through injuries.

And then obviously some sometimes you just can't play through certain shit.

But yeah, it's tough.

P's and P's, that's a lot of injuries coming out on November 18 Monday.

I was going to say, we were talking about taking hits and playing through anything, but your tight end Warren is like maybe my new favorite player.

It's getting to see, you know how it is too?

It's like you're a fan of a band, then you see them live and you're like, dude, like, you know, Boys to Men is so much better live, you know, but like, but you see Warren playing and you're like, this guy wants to be the best player in football and so he could be so strong yeah nobody was taking him down i mean yeah maybe not the fastest dude but fast enough fast enough fast enough so that's literally was the knock he was the second drafted tight end colson loveland out of michigan was the first drafted tight end he was the second one and the knock was he wasn't fast enough and it's like we're throwing him screens so i think he's just yeah i think he's fast enough yeah i think colson lovelin has two catches i think he's doing just fine danny dimes loves him also leaning into the contact and just every time.

Like, look, it just, it also feels like it's not even affecting him.

That's what's crazy.

When you see a guy that takes a hit and other guys are bouncing off him,

it's only a second game.

A couple A-B select start moves there.

That is, that is a couple A-B select start moves.

All right, let's go to the next overreaction.

We'll be in the NFC North for the Chicago Bears.

Or screw.

Oh, we went through a lot of them.

Here we go.

Yeah, it is.

This is from Jay Bear at JBear underscore 224.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

the Bears think they could have Jesus Christ the quarterback and God is the head coach, and they would still win a max of six games and go 0-6 in the division.

They got their asses beat this weekend.

And if you talk about God and Jesus Christ, I mean, Caleb was like this generation, and then Ben Johnson was literally.

So obviously, we're not comparing as religious fixtures, but when you talk about the two most prominent people for those roles, they got them right now in the in the very important, and they just got their asses kicked.

Now, how long will it take to transition into

everybody working to

maximize?

What do you think, AJ?

You think they ever get there?

I mean, there's no guarantee that they ever get there.

I mean, I think if you give them enough time, yeah, most likely they will figure it out with Ben Johnson and the offense and what they want, but like that could be a couple years.

We don't know.

We have no clue when it could happen.

All right, let's go to the next overreaction.

What are you shaking your head about?

Well, no, I was just going to say, I mean, I love it.

We talked about the Bears winning the Super Bowl all year, week two, you know, and they're fucking done.

You know, they want to fire Ben Johnson.

Also, I thought it was pretty funny.

Caleb Johnson, if you are, what's his name?

Caleb Williams on draft night when they drafted Torrey Taylor, he texted him and said, like, well, don't worry about it because we ain't going to be punting.

Bears have punted the most times in the NFL since he sent that text.

So it's kind of, you know, Freudian little, you know.

But it's just, I mean, if you're in the NFC, like, Foxy can attest to this.

Vikings fans can attest to this.

Like, if you're a fan of a team in the NFC North, you knew this was going to happen.

You knew this was going to happen.

Are they doomed?

Are they the most doomed team?

That's what I don't

know if they're going to be able to do that.

Bengals maybe ever as well.

Because Connor said this last week and he was kind of joking, but like we are we are on the collision course for a Ben Johnson case, just massive blow up on the sidelines and then that becomes a big thing.

Is Tyson Bajant going to start like it's coming.

They wouldn't fire him midseason right now.

No, no.

That is going to be a Russell Wilson-Sean Payton situation, we think.

We think Ben Johnson, because he took that job.

Now, obviously, did he take that job?

Because Caleb's there and had a lot of hope for Caleb, certainly.

But if he had multiple options, which everybody says he did, and he's like the most highly sought after head coach in the last decade or two, he would definitely say, hey, if this doesn't work, I have the ability to move in a different direction.

You would assume.

You would assume.

Just because Sean Payton, Russell Wilson, Sean Payton, similar situation.

A lot of places wanted him.

He was in Arizona for a while.

He got paid up.

A lot of places.

He definitely went in there too and said, hey, if this doesn't work with Russ, I'm able to move on.

The ownership told him yes.

So I don't know if that's what it is with Chicago, but it feels like Ben Johnson would have that ability.

Like they would ride with Ben much more than they would ride with Caleb, is what I feel.

But we don't know if that's the case.

That's the sense I also get just from the internet.

Because we don't know if Ben was strictly hired to make Caleb good.

And let me ask you this.

I don't think Sean, like you said, Sean Payton went to ownership and said, if it doesn't work, I can move on.

I don't think he even wanted it to work personally.

I think that was from the get-go.

So do you think Ben Johnson is like that with Caleb, or is he really, do you think, like, well, no, let's try to.

Interesting.

I think he was because he could have, he was the bell of the ball for like three years.

This is his first head coaching job.

So he went out.

Peyton was coming over being like, I'm going to go coach this guy and we can get it right.

So I think he went there.

But yeah, we're not in the same league where you're giving a guy three or four years to figure it out.

Like,

it's on a quick timeline.

I think he might have made a mistake, honestly.

You think, Ben?

I think there's a chance.

Like,

there's a story of Washington going up there before they drafted Jaden Daniels when they had the number two pick.

And he basically said, like, nah, I'm not going to coach for Washington.

And then they turned the plane around.

Like, that's the alleged story with Adam Peters and, you know, Washington.

And Washington turns out and ends up being good.

And then, you know, Ben Johnson was the bell of the ball last year and then this year, but like he got interviewed by the Pats, but he wasn't the Pats number one.

Whereas, you know, a year ago, he might have been probably the Pats number one, especially with Drake May and the North Carolina connection.

So I don't know.

I just hope it ends.

in a Caleb Ben Johnson fucking wrestling on the sideline.

Fourth quarter, 20 seconds left down by fifth.

Caleb's an incredible athlete, but Ben's got a lot of grit.

I don't know how that wrestling match goes.

I don't know either.

And also, how was the Manny?

Was the Manny sharp this week?

Does he can he scratch with those nails?

You never know.

Because that might help Caleb when it comes to the.

Oh, yeah.

You're talking about Angel Reese's nail.

Manicure, sorry.

Short for Manny.

Excuse me.

Doll.

Manny with Target.

I thought we were talking Duke head coach.

Yeah, Manny.

Sure.

Yeah, Manny Herrin's coming out of the pen.

That's what I thought.

All right, let's move on to the next overreaction, shall we?

This is from EJ at RoboNobbins.

Almost putting.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

The Dallas Cowboys need to stop all this winning garbage and lose.

That was a hard fought game with the Giants.

Let's make the most of those draft picks and have a 3-14 season.

Yikes.

We're battling it out against the Giants.

Get us the fuck out of here.

Let us get the number one overall pick.

We are ass this year is what this Dallas Cowboys fan says.

I don't think they feel that way, though.

No.

I think the moving on from Micah, maybe Dallas Cowboys fans feel a little bit more.

I don't think the locker room or the team really feel it that much.

And obviously that's a huge win.

I mean, that's a gigantic win, especially in the moment.

Got to battle some drama.

Brandon Aubrey, this guy's unflappable, absolutely unstoppable.

It's like, I think the Cowboys think they're good.

Did you see that video post-game?

I mean, Jerry was down there being like, watch my Netflix special.

And then, and then, uh, did he say that?

He did say that.

And so, uh, don't quote me, though, but, but that, but they were all fired up for Shodi.

They were like rallying around.

He was getting emotional.

So I think you're exactly right.

I don't think there's any sign of like, you know, this is just a hard-fought win.

I think it's like, let's build on this shit.

Good vibes, too.

Like, we talked about the Micah conversation or the Micah contract with them not working out.

Like, now everyone's getting paid.

They paid a lineman yesterday right before the game started.

So you talk about team morale.

Like, Deron Bland just got paid.

With Tyler Smith, you said, yeah, he just got paid.

Signed Clowny after the game.

Signed Clowney after the game.

They could probably now, if they really wanted to, depending on how the season goes, like hang on to Pickens if they want to do a Pickens and CD.

Like, they have options now, at least.

What if the Cowboys are good, AJ?

What if they are on?

Yeah, why not?

I think they're legit.

I think Dak is awesome.

I think Dak is still underrated in what he's able to do.

1,000.

Kenny Clark got a sack yesterday as well, so it's working out.

And Micah's working out for Green Bay.

It's going to be a win-win-win-win-win.

All right, last overreaction here from Clayton at Clay Daddy88.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

the Eagles are still the best team in the league.

But

the O-coordinator should have been thrown out of the damn plane on the way back to Philly.

Sure, a lot of people from Philly saying this?

Yeah, there are.

There are quite a few, but this is, I mean, this is Philly.

You know, this is what you expect.

Last year, I think they were like 8-1, and every week it was like, Sirianni's a fucking dip shit.

When we lose, it's going to be this moron's fault, and they win the Super Bowl.

So I don't think there's cause for concern yet.

Yeah, we win, but let's make sure this offensive coordinator doesn't land on his feet.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

Good for Philadelphia.

Remember tonight, doubleheader.

Doubleheader tonight.

Buccaneers at Texans.

Chargers at Raiders.

We have our picks already.

Yeah.

I remember.

AJ has the Buccaneers.

I have the Texans.

D-Butt has the Texans.

AJ and D-Butt have the Chargers minus three and a half.

I have the Raiders plus three and a half.

Adam Ray, would you like to make a pick?

Yeah, dude.

I mean, you know, I'm still a Pete guy.

I'm going Pete.

I'm going Raiders.

It's his birthday.

Happy birthday, buddy.

Today?

Yeah.

Good God.

73?

Four.

Oh, shit.

Looking good.

By the way, the same way Marshawn got like a Skittles campaign, Wrigley's Double Mint.

Somebody should have jumped on that train with Pete.

Chewing that gum.

Gum's never had so much press before.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I agree.

Good point.

Bazooka Joe, something.

Double bubble.

Double bubble.

Tiger Stripe was double stripe.

Tiger Blood.

Tiger Blood.

Some of that.

Yeah, that.

Tiger Blood certainly had a role.

Watch that dog, by the the way.

Yeah, learned a lot.

And then we all...

Yeah, fuck it.

Yeah, but

I think Pete's going to get that one.

I think Pete's going to get that one.

What was the other?

Boy, I love me some Baker.

I mean, those Hulu commercials are so good.

But I think.

Yeah, I'm going Bucks and I'm going Raiders.

All right, cool.

I think you've made the right decisions for your own.

So I think you did good right there.

Yeah, but

Bake was one of the best commercial guys we had.

Yeah.

And then it all went to shit.

Yep.

It's tough, dude.

Some of these guys step in and they just like, you know, going back to Russ, it's like, you know, just wasn't, didn't really feel.

He's back.

He's back.

Hulu.

Popeyes.

He's back.

Baker.

I saw the Popeyes one.

I've not seen the Hulu.

What's the Popeyes one?

He's got a few Popeyes ones, right?

Let's go.

No.

Yeah, he just, he just, the one I saw, he just sits there and goes, these are good.

And then he eats the Popeyes.

There we go.

Leg.

Huh.

Yeah,

it was great.

I haven't seen it.

I saw it and I was like, hell yeah, Baker.

Getting a Popeyes fucking deal.

Good for you, Bakers.

I was very pumped for him.

Popeyes is good.

Boston Market would be cool to see come out of the woodwork.

Rest in in peace.

Brady's got to bring it back.

Tom is the man.

If there's one thing Tom can do, it's win Super Bowls and bring back franchises.

He actually said he's got a big announcement tonight.

That could be

a Boston Marketing.

Oh, my God.

Give me a whole fucking chicken.

And Giselle is like in some, it's how they like reconcile, and she's in some really sexy outfit.

I need that chicken.

I don't do her voice, but she's like eating it.

She's like, I love that potato, you know.

Is that Brazilian?

No, don't get me kidding.

I think so.

You're trying your best.

All right.

Wait, I got to say one thing.

We were trying to get my boy Johnny Schneider on the phone, Seahawks GM.

He said, I'm sorry, tell Pat it's my fault.

Good thing he said you and I aren't in on communicating on headsets during the games.

We fucking suck.

But that's going to be in my Mount Rushmore for Seahawks.

I'm throwing up Johnny Schneider for building these teams, baby.

Okay, so that's an underrated.

Tony Galloway, Marshawn Lynch, Matt Hasselbeck, Cam Chancellor.

That would be four, which is what a Mount Rushmore is.

But let's go ahead and toss a fifth one.

I put Schneider like on top, like even like the Bears.

And he's the back.

He's the back.

He's the back of the Schneider's back.

He did just have back surgery.

He's on the back of the mind.

He's the back, dude.

Could probably drop Hasselback and just go.

And I'm a Hasselback guy.

He's a mask guy.

No, that's not what he's squeezing.

You gotta have Hasselback on him out rushborne.

Yeah, maybe the QB that, I don't know, probably fucking won a Super Bowl at him.

Maybe we can throw that one.

Love me so much, dude.

I know it's tough.

Can he like, can Hasselback be like holding a cardboard cutout of Russ?

Maybe.

Maybe to Boris Jackson.

Come on, Time.

Please come over here.

It's been a glorious overreaction Monday.

Steve Large.

We can't thank you all enough.

A lot of great players over here in Seattle.

Mont Rushmore only has four spots.

He's made five.

We're winning the West, by the way.

We're winning the West.

I know everyone still likes, you know, says Rams and Stafford, but like, I don't know, Hawks, it's ours to lose, I think.

Like you said, no one's talking about his DB.

I feel like that's good.

Only team to lose in that division so far.

Mac Jones.

We are?

Yeah.

Mac.

All right.

You guys want to talk about my parents' divorce rights?

Jesus Christ.

We're in the top.

I thought I was having a good time.

You're like, you guys are actually the only team that fucking sucks right now.

Yeah.

Sorry, we already talked about your parents' divorce.

aboard so if we can hit anything else putting i love you yeah he's dial fire what a tough statement yeah all right statement be a friend tell a friend something nice about change their life we're in this thing together adam keep killing it brother i love you guys thank you if you get a chance to see him obviously go watch him his vibes are fucking immaculate yes the shows are a blast man team on me you got anything to say uh well you know what life gets tough so wake up with the sun go to bed with the moon okay and dig deep and if you find if you find yourself on the sidewalk and a stranger wants to give you a high five give him a chest chest bump and a hug.

And maybe maybe

a little extra finger, maybe pet his hair, maybe, you know, ask him what his pin number is, where he lives, you know, what his blood type is.

Buy him a Coke or a coffee.

And at the end of the day, we're all the same.

So live it up, suck it up, spark one up, and burn one down.

We'll be right back.

Team on three.

One, two, three.

Team.

Bye bye.

Eight years ago, I blew my football career.

He dropped it at the one-yard line.
