PMS 2.0 1418 - OVERREACTION MONDAY, NFL Week 4 Recap, MNF Doubleheader Preview, Adam Schefter, Glen Powell, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the Thunderdome on this Ovary Action Monday September 29 2025 this program begins right now

Football is magical and it was a great weekend of ball from start to finish and we have two games tonight.

Let's go football.

It's an honor to get to do this every single day.

We appreciate the hell out of you.

What a great weekend over to State College Happy Valley for the Penn State, Oregon game.

I got got a chance to witness the white out there and live and in person.

That might be the best experience I've ever seen.

That might be the best environment that I've ever experienced.

Now, I was on the sideline for a kickoff and a majority of it, and I got to walk through the tunnel just moments before kickoff and moments before the team went out there with athletic director Pat Kraft, former middle linebacker for Indiana, now the athletic director for Penn State, a man who is all in.

on them being great and also has an alumni base that is all in on them being great.

So me and Gumpy and Bullrush got a chance to walk out of the tunnel and 111,000, obviously.

And then we're just standing out there in the middle of the field and I'm looking around and they're in the middle of a $700 million renovation right now.

Okay.

Northwestern right now, I think, is doing something with their stadium or whatever.

They're playing down by the lake.

Whenever teams have a renovation, they normally have to exit the stadium.

They couldn't do that because they have 96,000 season ticket holders up there.

Okay.

So we're doing a renovation.

We can't do it.

They added bleachers and added construction and added concrete so that they were able to keep keep and house all of their fans.

111,000 people packed in to Beaver Stadium for a massive night, an electrifying night.

And I think their marketing team is in charge.

There was a fellow named Guido Dalia, I believe.

Yeah, his first name is Guido.

Hey, this ain't A or the

Fight it now.

It's actually Guido Dalia, who I believe created the whiteout.

Then he went to a couple other schools.

He created the entire thing.

He's there, boots on the ground.

As soon as somebody is tackled, I mean, as soon as the the person hits the ground, I go.

And you got 90-year-olds that have been Penn Staters for a long time.

Screaming.

And then you got everybody else that's in there, 100,000 plus, that have just been kind of stumbling around state colleges hills all afternoon, all morning from that game day scene all the way through.

It was electric, literally every single second of it until the very end.

The way that thing ended, Dan Lanning's team obviously steals a win out there.

Now, granted, they dominated throughout most of it.

We thought Oregon was going to win that.

Drew Aller gets hot, makes things look easy.

They get into overtime.

Holy hell, you score a touchdown, double overtime, and go for two and get it.

You're going to beat Oregon here.

This is going to be a monumental win for this Penn State team.

And ends up turning the ball over, and Oregon ends up winning the game.

And that place just has a

hush upon them.

And then immediately, anger, booze.

So, what the hell is going on here?

And it's not easy, obviously, being in the spotlight up there, especially with how passionate their fans are.

And everything's still in front of this Penn State team.

Everything can still happen for them if they want it to.

But that's not how their fans felt at the end of that game.

But I appreciate everybody's hospitality and congrats, the Oregon Ducks.

Oregon Ducks and Alabama.

I'm sorry, yeah, Alabama were the two losses I had.

I want eight for 10, picking on gamers.

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

I want eight for 10.

You took Illinois?

I did actually.

Really?

I thought they were a good football team.

I just really liked Indiana.

Plus, I thought 9 a.m.

kickoff going to be difficult.

So that's the whole thing.

And also on the jacket of game day,

I thought it was going to be white.

You know what I like?

It was off-white.

It was off-white.

And whenever I see, when I see the off-white, it's like, all right, you know, yeah, this is a little bit, we'll see.

I didn't know everybody else could have the same suits.

Sure.

Guys had the same suits.

They legitimately had the same suits.

So I did not know that was the case.

And it was decided, you know, last week.

So there was a local tailor that was available.

If you weren't able to get it, my guy, David Allen from Pittsburgh near there, I say, hey, they're doing a whiteout.

He's like, I got you, man.

No worries.

David Allen makes every nice thing that I wear.

Okay.

I either dress like an asshole or I have David Allen stuff on.

And he just basically is the coolest.

He's a Pittsburgh guy.

He's a friend, too.

And his business is up into the right.

So, yeah, and he's jacked.

He looks cool all the time.

But he doesn't have like full asshole clothes, which I appreciate.

You know, it's a happy medium.

So I'm like, no, my guy will probably be able to take care of this.

He does.

I get that thing late night Friday.

DJ Griff drives it up there.

Shout out to DJ Griff College Gaming Day thing.

I open it in the morning.

I realize, okay, this is not

a bit off white.

It's not white.

It is a little bit off.

So then I walk in.

I'm like, it won't be that noticeable.

Hold on.

It certainly was.

So I agree.

There was a lot of people saying that that thing should have been more white.

It's a bit interesting in the middle, though.

I think it was almost worse than that.

No, no, I bet it's better because you were in the end or like second.

You would have blended in with the fans if you wore that white white suit.

Yeah, of course, of course.

They had the same exact local tailor, I thought, was maybe going to make them different styles of a white suit.

They had literally a uniform up there.

That was surprising.

Yeah, I was very surprised.

I was rather like, damn, I missed out.

I should have just done this one.

I apologize.

That's on me.

Didn't want to put any work on anybody else.

Or, you know, also straight away from my guy, DA, who's taking care of me throughout this entirety.

But I will say this: place was electrifying.

I think students showed up.

I think obviously the alumni showed up.

The environment was crazy.

And you know, the duck showed up.

That team is a problem.

And Dan Lanning lanning is awesome to watch out there so i appreciate the hell out of the hospitality and get a chance to learn about them but then the nfl sunday delivered in a big way the talks and tables here at boston conner at ty schmit con man you might have an mvp brother don't look now why oh boys future of the nfl is in new england drake may actually Okay, actually doing things that only MVPs do.

Okay, he's on a bunch of different stat lists where the names are like Hall of Famer, Icon, Hall of Famer, Drake May.

Wild to think about, because he's been saying this since last year, since the beginning of the Drake May run.

When they were ass last year, all Connor was saying is, we got a quarterback of the future.

The team stinks, but we got a quarterback of the future.

It was hard to take him seriously because of how bad the team was.

New coach in there, new vibes, new mindset, new development.

I think from year one to year two, he's only gotten better is what you would say.

Oh, yeah, big time, especially helping him out, getting him a left tackle first and foremost at the top of the first round.

And then Stefan Diggs, they moved him to slot.

I'm sure you guys could probably talk about it better, but him moving from the outside to a slot has completely changed the offense.

Hey, don't look down to Patriots.

Might be back.

And then let's go to one half of the hammer.

Dime.

Cowboys AP Tone, congrats to your Irish brethren.

Getting a huge win to kick off 9.30 a.m.

football.

We'll talk about that here in a matter of moments.

Greg Olson, very good in the morning.

I wouldn't mind just a little coffee, hang with the daughter and a wife.

Greg Olson on the call.

They're in Ireland.

Zahombe.

Zahambe.

Zahombe.

Hey, hey, hey.

Did you hear that?

Do you know that song, Nine Your NFL Vet?

Darius J.

Butler?

Bat Bunny?

No, it's the Cranberry.

Bab Bunny will be hosting the halftime show at the next Super Bowl.

And congratulations to Bob Bunny.

We're going to skip over that.

That was messed up.

He knows that song.

I know.

He has to, but San Berrito Babani will be the halftime artist.

This is the first time I think that the entire performance will be in a different language.

Is that that correct?

Probably.

Yeah, I would assume so.

I don't know if he sings a lot of English songs.

We would request a few, if that's possible, because I would like to sing along.

But on that note, I've seen this guy put on a couple different shows with WWE.

I happen to be down in Puerto Rico whenever he is in the middle of his 30-show residency down there.

I mean, they're talking about the entire islands

visit and what's that called?

When people speak.

Tourism.

Yeah, there is tourism up for him.

Like, this dude is a needle mover.

This guy is a monster and he is a showman, I think, completely.

But I think there is a lot of people who say, oh,

can I, Super Bowl, have to?

I'm celebrating Super Bowl too.

Am I going to be able to sing along?

I think that is certainly what some gripes are.

Just know he's going to put on a hell of a show, though.

This guy will put on a hell of a show.

Well, and that's the thing.

Like, I don't know any bad bunny music, but I respect the hell out of him because of what he's done in the WWE and the shows and the residencies and stuff.

It's just like, well,

I want

to say, what about Adel?

Where was Adele?

What happened?

I love Adele.

I said, five

to the red.

See, all of us, everybody, everybody right there.

Generational difference.

I mean, you're talking about all over the country.

Let alone.

Hello.

It's me.

I was wondering if that's

over

everything.

I've been so sick.

Hello.

I mean, right?

That was being rumored.

I mean, I just closed my eyes.

I wouldn't have been happy with that either.

What?

You wouldn't have been happy with it, no.

Hello?

That's not a Super Bowl halftime shit.

What?

Okay.

You know, Bat Bunny at least is going to be doing some crazy shit.

So even if you don't understand what he's saying, it's like, holy shit, look at this guy's doing.

He's going crazy.

He didn't show me.

Yeah, I can get on board with that, but I agree.

I mean, we don't have that just like middle America right down Main Street.

Everyone's going to love this.

We don't have that anymore.

We don't have that on it.

Taylor Taylor Swift allegedly was asked and turned down because she wasn't doing it for free.

That is long-standing.

The rules, I guess, the way the NFL has treated it.

It's fun rules to have if you're the NFL.

Hey, that's just the rules.

You know, it's like.

And we don't make them.

That's the way it goes.

You know, it's like when the NCAA used to say, amateurism.

Sorry, that's amateurism.

It's like, what's that word?

You guys made up that word.

So you guys are just...

I would like to make up a word.

Bullshite.

So that is what that is.

And we're just going to live by it like it's gospel.

The NFL has just had a long rule.

It's like, yeah, you're welcome, actually.

So, I mean, we'll pay for the whole thing to a certain amount, but you're just going to blow up.

And every artist that performs at the halftime, it's like, the NFL knows what's about to happen.

And Prince is like the most, I ain't doing it, you know, because he's like super business guy.

Then he has the rain one down in Miami playing Purple Rain.

It's like one of the most iconic moments of all time.

And obviously people just, their love for the artist even grows or people get introduced.

I think Tom Petty, whenever he won, like the next day was the biggest he's ever gone so the nfl like sells that as their pitch and taylor swift says it's okay

okay i uh i'll actually just uh put a pendant on the ground and it'll actually be a clue to where they can find a song that they'll actually run it up banito will kill it though he will be an entertaining lad up there who would you who are you pulling for is there anybody that you're hoping for you know what honestly i i really don't care I'm gonna be entertained by whoever it is.

I know sometimes, like Kendra Lamar, I was happy with that.

I know a lot of people wasn't.

But, I mean, it is what it is.

I'm going to watch the game.

I'm going to watch whoever performs.

But I don't mind Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny's got bangers, even though I don't.

I'm in South Florida as well, too.

So

I hear a lot more Bad Bunny than probably you guys.

Yeah,

I would have to hear the beat.

That's the thing about music.

That's why these guys can go on tour all around the world where you don't speak the language because once the music comes, I mean, it's kind of universal language.

Search the WWE

Bad Bunny Entrance in Puerto Rico.

All the time.

That song, if he just plays that song five times and has that situation, it'll be the most electrifying.

What?

If he plays the same song five times, I'm going to blow a gasket.

I'm going to need at least two.

Yeah, but you might know the words, but like the fourth.

And I'm sure it'll be stuck in my head for the next week, and I'll love it for sure.

Mix it up.

I'm not, you know, down on Bad Bonnie.

I'm more so down on the decision, but everything that you guys are saying is making me feel great about how good of a showman he'll be.

He's a showman.

Who would you pick this year?

I don't know.

Maybe Adele.

Remember that thing?

We just sang all the stuff.

That's your rude.

That wouldn't.

I wouldn't have been.

I love Adele.

We all do.

Yeah, 2025, AI Freddie Mercury.

Okay.

Hologram.

That's pretty good.

Oh, my God.

Could you imagine him?

Yeah.

Oh, it would have been a...

Anyways, let's have somebody by me.

We got Tupac and a bunch of guys.

Mickey comes rolling in.

There's a chance.

I mean, Benito might do that.

That is the type of brain that Bad Bunny has.

And congrats to him.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is time to go over the five headlines that we think you need to know about, or unless you already have heard about it, which we sure you have, we'd like to let you know how we feel about it.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first 15, driven by Ram Trucks.

Gonna sponsor this segment.

We love everything about that.

Shout out to Ram Trucks.

Obviously, you hit their pedal, all you hear is

it rides on clouds, it can pull anything.

Let's get to the first 15, shall we?

Let's start the clock.

Five ties

can't have them.

okay.

Obviously, Micah Parsons goes back to Jerry World.

It's talk of the time.

They're treating it like it's Super Bowl.

You got everybody on the field chit-chatting about it in Football Night in America, and obviously, everybody on earth is chatting about it.

The first time he went on to the field, Jerry Jones is actually being interviewed by Jason Garrett and Maria Taylor.

Jason Garrett's first question was basically like, Hey, I've been in your building a long time.

Need a quarterback?

Need a pass rusher.

That's like one of your own rules.

Why'd you trade away Micah?

And then he went into a full conversation about, well, one guy's good, but how about six guys?

That's what I think we can actually get.

And he ran out with a band around his hips and around his waist.

That was the first time I'd ever seen somebody just jog out there and act as if that is normal.

And usually people do like a warm-up with that.

He was using it throughout the entirety of his warm-up on the field.

Kind of startled me a little bit, but with that being said, the man is an absolute ox.

This dude is an absolute beast.

Whatever he needs to do to warm up his muscles, he's certainly going to do.

But Jerry Jones said, basically, we're going to get...

six guys instead of just one guy.

I mean, I've always been right about numbers.

Don't you worry about everything else that's going on around here, Jason.

And they had a microphone a little bit far away from his mouth, so it was hard to hear him.

Everybody else was a little bit louder.

But basically, he chatted about Michael Parsons' trade a thousand different times.

And all he kept saying was for the good of the team, good of the team, good of the Cowboys.

And then at the very end of the game, after it was 40-40 tie, here's what Jerry Jones had to say about the trade and the night as a whole.

They got Micah, and we've got what we've got, and we tie it.

Okay, so 40-40 is what it comes down to.

And a lot of American football fans say, what are we doing?

This is what soccer does.

Golf doesn't even do it.

Okay, golf doesn't even do ties.

Why are we doing ties?

Well, there's been 17 of them in the last 30 years.

And we say that's 17 way too many.

What we need to institute and debut, people are going to think I'm joking here.

I'm not.

What I need you to do is suspend reality and go into this world just a little bit and imagine how special this will be.

Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the golden boot.

Yes, we have chit-chatted about it before, but if there's an entire four quarters of football played, 60 minutes, and then an overtime period, and for some reason, these two teams can't figure it out, we need to just take what the most boring sport has, that is actually the most electrifying thing that they have, and put it into our game.

Both the snap, the holder, and the kicker will go out onto the field from both teams.

Obviously, it's going to be a rompus atmosphere.

It's a tie ball game.

There's been four quarters of boozing.

There's been four quarters of learning.

everything about the other team.

Those boys go out on the field all by themselves, incredibly uncomfortable, incredibly awkward.

And one team will kick from the 40-yard line, a 50-yarder.

If they make it, the next team, obviously, whoever wins the coin toss to go second or first, will try to match.

If that person misses that 50-yarder, well, the kicker that made it and the holder that made it and the snapper that made it, their team wins the game.

If they both make it from 50, go back to 55.

If they both make it from 55, go back to 60.

If they both make it from 60, go back to 65.

McManus and Aubrey, massive legs.

Massive, massive legs.

McManus is one of the best athletes in the NFL.

Okay.

Any sport you put him in, he would be great at, which is why it's crazy that he's so damn good at kicking field goals because you have to be very methodical whenever you're kicking field goals, just like a golf swing.

So sometimes the really athletic guys aren't as good because they get a little crazy.

McManus, obviously, and I think he had two tackles last night.

Yeah.

They get two tackles last night.

Obviously, a game tire.

Had one blocked, which absolutely sucks.

Don't always put that on the kicker, but it hits a 53-yarder to send it into overtime.

Massive legs, especially with the beat-up balls.

Him and Aubrey would have both hit from 65.

Then what?

They're going back to 70.

What?

And then imagine a miss on the first one.

And then Aubrey walks out there in Jerry World.

Snap hole kick.

He hits from 70.

Think about that place going absolutely ape shit.

I think it's only a five to 10 minute thing.

I don't think it's a very long, long time.

I don't think it's very drawn out.

And I think you get a chance to get a winner or a loser.

And if it comes to that point of the golden boot, we need somebody to win.

Yeah.

Need you to.

300-0-1 or something is a stat for something that took place for the 40-plus points and no turnovers by the home team, I think it was.

Yeah, 300 wins and zero losses is what it used to be.

Now it's 300 and one.

We just can't have these ties, and it doesn't have to be the golden boot, but there are certainly things that we can create.

Maybe just have it go until we have a winner, especially if they both tie on the first drive.

Just go ahead and keep going until we have a winner, untimed basically at the end.

But we hate this, and that game was hyped up, and that's how it ends.

Kind of

it's kind of what the fuck did I stay up here for?

Yeah, very anti-climactic.

I didn't even think about that.

I thought about several other things because it was 80-point scored, maybe have both defensive coordinators just go out there and run suicides until one of them passed out.

That's good at that.

Like the Eberfools.

Oklahomas, yeah, but the golden bull, I love that rule.

One thing I would change, though, with all the field goal blocks this year,

we got to put

a full unit out there.

I need Zara Rodgers or somebody coming off the edge.

Then you can start it much closer, too.

Yeah, you can do 45, 40, 45 plays.

And I think they should be able to pick left, hash, middle, or right, whatever the hell you want.

Listen, because at the end of the day, I think what builds up the drama is make, make, make, make.

Now, granted, if the first,

if the first kicker makes it and then the second kicker just gets swatted, oh, so cool.

Place would explode.

Good call.

I like what we're doing here.

We can continue to brainstorm, but just know that ties can't happen.

On that note, both teams walk out of there happy.

Green Bay Packers owner.

Obviously, second to last play, not desirable before the game tying field goal where you guys almost literally throw that game away in overtime as time expires.

What year is this for the coordinator?

What year is this for the quarterback being together?

Crazy that this is taking place.

LaFleur addressed that afterwards.

It was like, yeah, I can't have it.

Basically, that's not good.

We got to work on the details.

Should have been already doing that, is what a lot of people would say, but maybe this is a learning experience for them and they get away with a tie.

What are the Packers fans' thoughts?

And how do you think Cowboys fans feel?

I'm sure Cowboys fans are

ecstatic today.

I mean, why wouldn't you be?

As a Packers fan, no, I'm pissed.

I mean, this is worse than the Browns.

They're just,

you can't go from the penthouse to the shithouse that quickly.

Like, now it's, you're thinking, you know, two weeks ago, it was, hey, this team might win the Super Bowl, and now it's like, is this team even going to make the playoffs?

I just don't understand how bipolar they are.

It's like one week, the offense plays great.

The next week, the offense plays like shit.

One week, the defense is generational.

The next week, they're giving up 40 points to the Cowboys without CeeDee Lamb.

So they have a bye week next week, which is, you know, it's early, but, you know, they have a lot of stuff that they can fix.

But no, as a Packers fan, I'm livid this morning.

Okay, livid that they're 2-1 and 1 after Sunday Night Football against the Cowboys.

Dak Prescott, 31-40, 319 yards, three touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown without CeeDee Lamb.

George Pickens became real guy for Dak Prescott last night in primetime.

You love to see it if you're a Dallas Cowboys fans for sure.

But I mean, this is the guy you need to step up and be a true number one with C.D.

being out, and he did that, did it in the the biggest moments, showed up for his team.

So you got to love that if you're a Cowboys fan.

And on the other side, Packers, Jordan Love, 31-43, 337, three touchdowns with 28 rush yards.

It's like it was offensive, awesome last night.

Josh Jacobs, so cool.

And Dobbs's head with that Guardian cap.

So big.

You guys heard a Guardian bait Packers.

I almost put that out.

If that guy's going to continue to be the only one that gets in the paint for you, which it feels like he's always there.

It's a Guardian bait.

I was just sitting on it last night, just like, nope, don't need to say that.

Cernic, it's kind of his look almost.

It's not just him.

Savion Williams, the rookie, he's got one too that's massive.

I mean, it doesn't look great, but Dobbs has also had about 40 concussions in the last three years, so maybe he does need it.

And he's a great football player.

He is very good.

Yeah, he's great for you guys.

Congrats to both the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys getting out of the week without a loss.

No but no but hey

carry over

carry over it does sucks all right let's go to number four the NFL's bubbling in Dublin 9 30 a.m how's your morning going Fantastic.

Get a chance to get an overview of the Emerald Isle, an absolutely beautiful place that we have been to, obviously, in the past.

We've drank some Guinnesses with the folks.

We've walked the streets.

We've enjoyed the tribe music.

Hup, hop, hop, hup, hup.

And now we got a chance to watch them host their first NFL game.

And I'll tell you what, the country delivered and the game did as well.

The Pittsburgh Steelers started out immaculate.

It felt as if Rooney was in the clouds looking Don saying we dominate in Ireland.

Kenneth Gainwell, more like Kenneth Gain, really well.

And then Aaron Rodgers, for the first time, long time, absolutely throws a strike to DK Metcalf, who obviously outruns everybody to the end zone.

The Pittsburgh Steelers looked remarkable.

Aaron Rodgers was smiling the whole damn time, as was Mike Tomlin without the hat.

We got a new Mike Tomlin.

New coach Tomlinson.

He doesn't like the hats either.

Yeah, no hat out there, no hat out there.

Pittsburgh Steelers dominant early, and then we got a chance to experience what we've been waiting on for a long time, the Carson Wentz experience

all aboard this one's an international affair in the second quarter it started Carson doing Carson

breaking free up the middle sidearm to Justin Jefferson on a line Carson Wentz is the best quarterback on a field any field whenever he's playing good now we obviously almost get sacked we dish it off to a running back three yard loss how about this third and 12 hock that thing up yeah if he catches it that'll be a great catch he wasn't wasn't able to.

We continue to move on.

A guy gets flipped over in front of him, on top of him.

Fumble.

Where is it?

Way over here.

This is the Carson Wentz experience.

This is the second quarter into the third quarter.

And this guy had a chance at the end to come back and tie this entire thing up.

The CWE hit Ireland in a big-time way.

The Steelers steal a big-time win and hold on for dear life at the very end after a lot of interesting decisions that were made by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a whole.

But I would like to say, congrats to Ireland as a whole.

Jordan Addison, a wide-ass open.

And Wilson with no ACLs running 22 miles an hour catches him, runs them down.

That's Pittsburgh Steeler football.

That is what Pittsburgh Steeler fans would hope would happen.

But it was a great morning in Ireland.

It was a great game.

I thought Greg Olson was phenomenal on the call.

It was nice waking up with him, having a little coffee, hanging out with Greg Olson, breaking down ball.

He even broke down the holder's cadence.

on a field goal because obviously blocking of field goals is becoming a real storyline around the nfl and the steelers are saying ah, let's go for one.

Or Boz, let's go for one.

And then flipping out the other way.

It's like, I appreciate what happened.

And Dublin showed up in a big way.

Let's go to Pittsburgh Steelers Superfan.

Obviously got nervous late.

But as a whole, Ireland was perfect for the NFL.

And I think that country would enjoy the NFL if they continued to learn about it.

Yeah, Ireland was awesome.

It's like everything that I heard from Steelers fans all week was like, it was the perfect town to host.

a football game and it was.

All the Steelers legends were over there.

It looked like a great time.

The grass, the field was awesome.

You saw Justin Jefferson slip, but other than that, like it was, it was, the grass looks great.

Best international grass.

Yes, by far

that I have seen.

And then, like you said, it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers.

They had seven sacks.

They had a billion pressures.

And then they ran the ball great with gain.

Well, they used Darnell Washington 48 snaps as basically a six offensive lineman.

So just like when we started the year, they were going to play defense.

They were going to run the ball.

Aaron was going to hit shots to DK.

It was perfect.

I love that.

And I love that Steelers have seemingly found an identity.

They head into a bye very early.

Will the old bodies be able to make it on the long haul on the other side of the bye?

We shall see.

And what were Boots on the ground saying about the event?

Yeah, if you'll indulge me real quick, we have some stats from the Ireland game here from our friend McQuaid.

74,000 fans in attendance.

Massive, massive amount of fans, lads.

And this is a big one.

This is actually true.

This is the largest movement of people from the U.S.

to Europe since the wartime.

Since, yeah, exactly.

Since the Allies came over and went, you know, belt to ass on the Axis powers.

uh it's the the biggest movement in a long time if you didn't know lads uh tj yeah stat that well said debot thank you lad uh tj watts interception where he obviously kicked the ball uh into the crowd in the third quarter that was actually a nod to gaelic football if you know that lads uh we we love it over there obviously this is a fun little stat here actually 22 different nfl teams jerseys were uh were in the crowd so oh they counted them oh they love mcquaid counted them they didn't mcquaid was boom boom boom he was making sure because they obviously love.

Yeah, they love football over in Yarland and Croke Park and everything.

And then, lastly, it's a big one, lads.

80-yard touchdown for DK Metcalf is the longest touchdown in all 40 of the UK Ireland games.

So, yeah, I think you're right.

Let's run this back.

Let's go back to Croke Park next year.

Thank you, lads.

Okay, thank you, McQuaid, for being on the bus.

That sounded like I was with him again back in New England.

That man has pounded the drum

for NFL Ireland louder and more relentless than anybody we've ever seen.

Everywhere we were in Ireland, he was.

McQuay.

With football.

New stat.

Yeah, with a football.

New stat, new fact.

He's underground tunnels.

That's just.

And then he might have that, actually.

And him on the internet, relentless about, hey, we love it.

We should love it.

Ireland will love the NFL if they continue to get more games.

And I think that's good for all parties.

There's a little dust up, right?

Well, bet.

Yeah, there was Skylar Thompson might have got jumped the night before and robbed, but...

Did he get jumped?

Did he lose a fight?

I mean, there's a lot of people.

I can tell you he didn't lose a fight.

Okay, I agree.

I I agree.

That's not good for team camaraderie.

That's not good.

It's good for the buddy system.

Yeah.

Take care of each other.

Jeez.

Ireland, though, can happen.

But on that note, football.

Number two, headline that we need to chit-chat about today.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Number three, good teams played good.

Ladies and gentlemen, there was two games where two teams had to take L's, even though they played good and are going to be good for a long time.

The Eagles and the Bucs played Don in Tampa.

Tampa had a chance to come back and be the Cardiac Buccaneers once again.

The last Playboys had an opportunity there was a fourth and ten it came down to baker mayfield ends up not being able to complete the first down then the eagles actually do a slow safety to end this game so the game is actually two points closer than it actually was and then whenever you talk about colts and the rams matthew stafford is yeah man spitting it outrageous very good he is absolutely outrageous and danny times still a dog as well but matthew stafford and los angeles rams end up getting the win even though the colts literally and figuratively shot themselves in the foot with a football that was in their hand before they score as they were about to score a touchdown.

A.D.

Mitchell, obviously, you've seen this.

Last year, he threw a pick six where he actually wondered if the guy that did it was Ed Reed, because he seemingly came out of nowhere on throwback play.

Then on this play, insane catch, wild yards after catch.

He's pulling away in an insanely athletic fashion.

And then ball just slips out of his hands as you get a little excited to go ahead and put that thing.

Incredible play.

One of the best plays.

And then that sound effect is the end of the first 15 minutes, but it could have also been on this case where he's running so fast the ball slips out can't happen.

But then he compounds it just a couple minutes later.

Gets a holding call, throws the guy down on the ground.

Jonathan Taylor, obviously, going to take this to the house.

Insane run by Jonathan Taylor.

Yet again, having one of his best years he's ever had as a football player, Jonathan Taylor.

Yep, let's go ahead and take that back.

That's in a fourth quarter with two minutes, 16 seconds.

Yeah, so I mean, he was trying to block, though, which I appreciate.

Like, Like A.D.

Mitchell was trying to block.

A.D.

Mitchell also made an insane catch, insane play, almost finishes that thing.

And then, geez, Jonathan Taylor did this last year, almost did it a couple weeks ago.

Now we got this again.

We need to clean that up, D.

Got to clean it up.

But on that note, A.D.

Mitchell is.

Talented.

We don't need to be.

Everybody's saying you need to cut him.

No.

Maybe we just get him off the field if he can get near the end zone.

Maybe we do.

We don't have him throw again.

He slides down before the end zone.

Yeah, but we need, exactly.

Hey, you need to not even go anywhere near that goal line.

And also, let's not even have him block.

Fuck it.

Just have him only

on pass plays.

And let's not have him throw the ball ever again on the field.

But it's certainly been an interesting first couple of years for A.D.

Mitchell.

And he's going to be a piece that we're going to need, but that can't happen, especially against the Rams.

They get a good win, but we should have won that game, and we should still be on the field.

Yeah, you've mentioned it.

Shot ourselves in the foot.

That's pretty much the A.D.

Mitchell experience so far right there in a nutshell.

That play, phenomenal, phenomenal talent, but it's just the little things.

And hopefully he learns from this.

You know how you've been in these moments where you do something, maybe bonehead or you just make a bad play and it's like the weight of the world is on your shoulder you saw him after this play kind of outside of the huddle just pacing around it was tough then get the block to compound that but we still had a chance to to at least put this game in overtime late so it never comes down to just one player we had 10 people on the field when we gave up the big deep ball to 2-2 at well so it's always a team effort in winning and losing but it's going to be a tough uh week until 10 can get back on the field hopefully make up for that but you cannot have 10 players on the field in a situation like this.

Got to have the situation, two-minute situation.

Matt Stafford, he found him, he made him pay, and the guy that was on him, he tripped and fell, which happens.

But Stafford's playing unbelievable football.

Puka Nakul might be the best wide receiver in football right now.

And just a total team effort, you mentioned good teams playing.

These are four teams right now that kind of can be in it at the end.

And I expect these guys to make all deep playoff runs in both of these games.

The Buccaneers are going to have to start harder.

Yeah, they're going to have to start back.

They're going to get healthier, though, too.

I agree.

But also, they're what they at their very best, what they are

unstoppable, yeah,

like whenever they need it, they've seemingly got it, except for this fourth down.

And the Eagles special teams has been an absolute nightmare for the brand.

Obviously, we remember two block field goals.

Now, we got a block punt right up the gut.

Uh, Riley Dixon there almost eats one too.

I mean, that could have been even worse.

Philadelphia Eagles humming on all sides of the ball, except for getting the ball to one guy, yeah, yeah, AJ Brown.

Really, AJ,

actually, they're undefeated.

Their red zone right now is 11 for 11, I think.

Like, Like Hembo sent me a stat.

They are the, they're 100%, I think, in the red zone.

Their offensive efficiency is like the greatest of all time.

And one of the highest paid guys they got at wide receiver is like, listen, hey, if you're all welcomed, I'll listen to, just quietly withdraw.

Don't make a scene.

Don't post.

Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.

So is that what his mindset was a couple weeks ago?

Because didn't he have a 100?

He had a 106 in the TUD line where he blew eight catches as well.

Okay, so I appreciate the fact that he said, hey, I could be louder about this, but I live by this mantra.

I just want you to know

that this is how I live by.

So I'm just trying to let you guys know who I am.

But this is kind of loud, don't you think?

Wow.

But you don't.

I'm not saying that.

I'm saying not be loud, though.

I'm saying be quietly.

This is going to be something that Siriani's going to have to juggle.

Yeah.

Or are they going to

Sirianni loves him?

He would never.

Him and Devonta combined for four catches yesterday.

I saw this that.

I don't know if it's true.

I don't know if they completed a pass in the second second half.

I saw that stat, too.

0 for 8.

I don't know.

I don't know.

We should check those stats to see if they're real, but nonetheless, I don't think it matters.

Yeah.

Okay.

And

that's probably what Sirianni and everybody says.

So whenever you talk about A.J.

Brown, potentially, does he want to cause a little bit of shit to either get the ball or

not?

I don't know.

We have no idea, but we know that the Eagles are winning games and they always seemingly do.

Let's go to number two.

Speaking of winning games, congrats to the New York Football Giants.

MetLife Boxing, the Dayball and Dart story.

Obviously, we see a small sample size, but we love everything about it.

And know that this particular sample size ends with Jackson Dart's forehead clearly pressed on the Dayball's forehead saying, are you my dad?

And him saying, are you my son?

Great knee.

Great knee bender.

Good fluidity there to be able to do that.

There's Dayball and Jackson say, hey, you're my son, I think.

You're my dad.

Whenever you think about two guys with Moxie, I think, and seeing if they can get along, Jackson and Dayball feel like a good, doesn't it?

Good

just from what we've learned about dayball sawed off cigar yep in hand you know some other things about willing to do whatever yeah intense and then jackson dart comes in there all the swagger and moxie in the world let alone you got scataboo oh gassing it all up

you got scataboo gassing everything up love everything about it 44 and 6 are a problem okay you times what those two add to that's what you got with this crew that's a hundo pal this group is obviously young hungry in the middle of a transition potentially and people are saying that dart saved dayball's job.

Yeah.

We talked about that though.

We said the whole plan here is if Dayball and Dart show promise, that's probably their pitch tomorrow, not to get fired.

And yesterday I have on good authority, it was the entire ownership group in the building.

Like not just the Mara's, but everybody collectively was there.

So yeah, it could have been a big decision made.

Maybe it was because it was Jackson's Darts, the new era beginning.

But yeah, you saw the excitement from Coach Dayball after the game, and that looked like, hey, boy, boy, you might have just saved my job.

Gave me some more runway.

But I love what I saw from the young kid.

Obviously, you're going to have to build on it, continue to get better, because once you put anything on film, these defenses will continue to prepare and try to take away the things you do well.

But you love to see this from your rookies.

Him playing well, Scatterboo playing well, Abdul Carter coming along.

You got some youth in the building, and you just want to sow some promise.

You want to compete as this year goes on.

And then maybe you stick with Dayball and Sean

in the front office.

Yeah, good luck to all of them.

And we're appreciative of the Moxie for sure, especially in the big city.

You know, especially in the big city.

Chargers?

Not worried about them.

Okay.

9 a.m.

kick, just like

10 a.m.

kick, whatever.

Yeah, yeah, just like USF.

Yeah, Illinois, USA.

Okay.

I think we should think about that.

Maybe.

You worried about him?

I'm not, but man, anytime you got a rupee.

Well, now that we know that.

Now we know Kate Morrow is in the owner's box.

I mean, we can't really see a point.

Rooney Morrow is there.

She'll probably.

Who's the

famous actress?

Is that the lady from Seinfeld?

Is she related to that family?

Julia Louis Dreyfus.

Is she related to the New York Giants family?

I don't think so.

She could be, though.

But you know, Kate.

Is that what you're talking about?

You're talking about that?

Like, who are you saying whenever you say whole family?

I'm not even just saying family.

I'm saying the, you know, because there are other people that are in the family.

Oh, minority owners.

Sure, Stray Marshall.

My friends.

Eli.

Eli.

All hands on deck.

Modern friends.

Kate Dawn.

This team sucks.

Hey, why do we guys guess what?

All right, and the number one story is the Chiefs are still the Chiefs.

Congrats to them.

Of course.

Congrats to them.

Of course, I give up on them and stop picking up when this happens.

Biggest game that they've had in a long time.

I forget how many years.

How big of a day was that for Patrick Mahomes?

First time he's had four passing touchdowns in the game since October 2023.

Okay, so it's been a while.

Xavier Worthy, obviously, a huge piece of the puzzle.

Patrick Mahomes is still that guy.

Always will be that guy.

Drew Drew Smith Schuster has also been flashing a lot.

I like their celebration, how they pass it around as well, with Uncle Travis Kelsey getting in there.

Pacheco goes crazy.

Patrick Mahomes is the youngest to 250.

Yeah, 250 passing touchdowns.

The youngest in the history of the game to 250 passing touchdowns.

He just turned 30 just a couple weeks ago, and he's already in the GOAT discussion.

Obviously, he's special.

We all have to remember that, including myself, whenever I decide to pick another team.

That other team, the Baltimore Ravens, defensively, man, I don't know what the hell's going on over there.

Zio and the boys are going to have to figure it out on defensive side, including

what's going on.

They had bad defense first 10 weeks of the year last year.

Then they were able to figure it out.

That feels weird.

They takes that long to figure out a defense, maybe change defense, but nonetheless, they weren't able to stop Patrick Mahomes on the offensive side of the ball.

Lamar Jackson exited the game down 17 in the third quarter because he had an injured hamstring.

I will say, I was listening to Red Zone channel.

We're still all watching it, right?

Yep, yep.

And Scott Hanson basically said, Lamar Jackson, no medical officials around him, 17 points third quarter.

I don't know what's going on there.

Then he followed up like two minutes later.

He was like, we're getting reports from the local CBS that he has a hamstring strain, which is why he was not in there.

So Lamar Jackson led way to Cooper Kush to get in there and do his thing.

What are the Ravens right now?

We Chef C.

Joining us, ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL insider for ESPN, Adam Schefter.

Shefty, sorry we made you wait there.

The first 15, obviously drawing out longer and longer every single week.

We will certainly respect your time.

Sorry we did not.

Not the first 15, it's the first 50.

You got to change change to the first 50 now, Bat.

Yeah, but that's not a football.

Football does first 15.

First 15.

On that note, in the first 15 of any play, would be let's see what's up with Lamar Jackson.

What have you heard?

Because that was kind of an interesting rollout for those of us that didn't have sound on the game, but we were maybe listening somewhere else.

He had a hamstring strain, is how it was being reported, but he didn't look like he was in a lot of pain on the sideline.

He's tough as hell.

We understand that.

What is the story out of Baltimore, and what are your thoughts?

Well, hamstrings are something they evaluate during the week, and here's the issue for Lamar Jackson.

If he is able to play right now, and I don't know that they know if he's able to do that right now, certainly he'll be compromised.

One of the strengths of his game, one of his superpowers, is his ability to run around, make things happen, be elusive.

And if he's got a balky hamstring, that's an issue for this upcoming week.

They play the Houston Texans, who have some ferocious pass-rushing defensive ends.

They're noted for their defense.

They shut out the Titans yesterday, which Cam Ward didn't particularly like and enjoy, but nevertheless, it's a tough Houston defense.

So this is the kind of thing where I don't know if Lamar could have gone back in the game yesterday if it were close, but it wasn't.

They left him out, and we'll have an idea as this week unfolds.

But hamstrings certainly are never fun to have, particularly for somebody like Lamar Jackson.

Dee, but I'll ask you this.

If he has a hurt hamstring, he has the number one passer rating, I think, in the history of the NFL with his arm.

If he has a hurt hamstring, will there be less people in the box so there's more people in coverage?

Or how does that kind of affect

what defenses will do with him if he has a strained hamstring?

Now, what you've been seeing defenses do now is kind of have that spy and just be more disciplined in their rush lanes.

And if eight is on the field, you expect him to be eight.

You know what I mean?

You still don't expect him to be a statue in the pocket.

So I feel like you still have to call it that way because if Lamar is playing, I feel like Lamar is playing.

He's going to be healthy.

Okay, let's go to the New York Giants.

Obviously, we did some research.

I assume you have as well.

Hembo sent us over a bunch of stats, and we've been scouring the internet.

MetLife Stadium has obviously been home to a lot of injuries over there.

Malik Neighbors, who's obviously electrifying and Giants fans were putting him as in the top pantheon of wide receivers in the NFL already.

And he's just a couple years in, obviously from wide receiver U down there at LSU, an absolute beast on the field.

Terror's ACL is what the fear is yesterday on MetLife.

And then you go through the history of MetLife.

I think they changed their turf in the last couple of years.

I forget they went from one particular brand of turf to another brand of turf.

That turf was supposed to be more like grass because they understood that they had a little bit more injuries and issues than literally everywhere else.

Now, this is still happening.

So, Shefty, what is the conversation about the MetLife turf?

Because anytime this happens, obviously turf versus grass conversations come up.

We heard Josh Allen literally two weeks ago with us talk about the new Buffalo Bills Stadium.

And he said, we got grass.

That was a big deal for him.

It's a big deal for players.

Will this neighbor's injury spur anything?

And what are you hearing out of the New York Giants facility?

Well, they did redo the field in March of 23.

And so it was, what, two and a half years ago that they put in a new field turf field at that point in time.

You see the list of players there that have gone down.

I'm sure there are a lot of players that have gone down in every stadium.

It just feels like that stadium, I don't know.

It does feel like we get more.

And I'm with Josh Allen.

I think everybody's with Josh Allen.

You saw the tweet yesterday.

I think it was from Odell Beckham Jr.

Other players feel the same.

Look, it's pretty simple.

There's the tweet.

Dear NFL, I mean this with the utmost love and respect.

Take the precautions that were with everything else when it comes to players' health and safety.

Please, please, please get rid of the turf.

Thank you in advance.

I think he speaks for a lot of people.

It shouldn't be that hard to put in grass.

How much of neighbor's injury is because of the circuit?

Who knows?

I don't know how to answer that other than there seemed to be a high number of injuries on that life field that forced them to change the turf, but like they change it and Aaron Rodgers goes down and tears his Achilles in the first game right after that happens.

Is that the turf?

I don't know.

I don't know what to say about it, Pat.

I'd be curious to know if a doctor has any concerns, but the number of players,

it's too long to ignore.

It's too long to ignore.

Yeah, well, Shefty, that's the thing.

There'll be a doctor that comes out and says that this turf is definitely problematic.

It's not just the turf.

It's the cement that's underneath of it.

And there's really no room to give for any of your joints and what bodies are supposed to do.

Now, it's not every joint, it's not every ligament, but some bodies, the way they are built, obviously going to have this reaction on this particular turf.

Then you have some other doctor come out and say, we've done the research.

There's actually different parts of the turf during different parts of the season.

And it's like some turf is actually better than grass.

So now, wouldn't he, how do you add that?

in?

I think just every player that's ever spoke has said, we'd like grass.

And then we see what Arizona is able to do.

And now with Buffalo's getting grass up there and keeping grass up there, it's like there should be no excuse with the technology.

And then on the MetLife conversation, they're hosting a World Cup.

Yeah,

with grass.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, but that grass is just kind of stapled on top of the...

So, like JJ Watt, who's soccer owner of two teams, says, hey, some of the grass that they just put on top of this turf, not good either.

Like, that is not what any of us want.

So, I don't know what the right answer is.

Seems like everybody likes grass.

Hopefully, they'll be able to do that.

Let's go to another team that that had a massive injury and maybe you have an update.

Go ahead, Ty.

Yeah, Shefty, any word on what's going on with Joe Alt?

Obviously the Chargers, that was tough yesterday, but their O-line is so beat up.

And at this point, you know, like, how big of a cause of concern is that for them going forward?

Well, he went down, and I'm just opening up a text that I got about it yesterday, but basically, he wanted to go back in, and they told him no.

He didn't want to accept that, you know, a high ankle sprain usually

limits you and prevents you from playing for a couple of weeks, but he's going to get a second opinion today.

They'll look at it again.

High ankle sprain, profensive tackle is not easy.

Look, here's the deal.

A high ankle sprain, if you're the Chargers and you see Joe Alt carted off yesterday, you feel fortunate that he has a high ankle sprain.

You don't want any of your players to get hurt.

But when he goes down, you don't know whether it's a knee, whether it's a broken ankle, a dislocation.

It could be anything that ends the season.

They've already lost Rashawn Slater in training camp to a torrent patella tenant.

So they lose their starting left tackle.

They move alt over to left tackle.

He goes out of the game.

Now you're down your two best tackles, one of whom is the highest paid offensive tackle in the National Football League and Rashawn Slater, even though he's not playing another who has a chance to be the highest paid one day and might just be as good as any left tackle in the game today,

Joe Alt.

So that is brutal if they're without him.

And Herbert paid the price for it yesterday.

They struggled to protect him.

He got hit hit an awful lot.

It's going to be hard to win consistently without Joe Walt, but it doesn't sound like he's going to miss a lot of time.

Brian Burns with the incredible Spider-Man's.

And then this at the end is an incredible

display of flexibility.

What is his Dims?

Do we hear what his Dims are?

6'5, 240.

240, 250 is what I remember.

He's way too big to be able to move that smooth.

South Loud.

Down into that.

That is unbelievable.

But on that note, that Giants D-line.

Okay, not a good time time to be down offensive lineman sexy dexi almost cribbed that thing yeah i mean that was unbelievable i can't believe he got tackled like the two yard i felt so bummed out for him you know these big guys these massive guys especially hall of fame type guys having a touchdown

instead you're done at the three dot herbert liked football well you yeah kind of ruined it didn't they should have let him have that should have let him have

uh but dexie moving like that

Dart and Day Ball on the offensive side.

Do the Giants have a little bit of hope?

Bruce, do we have hope right now?

Oh, you're muted.

muted.

Oh, yeah, we are all the way back.

Competitive football is back in the Giants world.

Shades of Mahomes, shades of Josh Allen, shades of Ken Stabler from the young Jackson Dart.

I'm fired up.

What about Scottabo?

What do you think about Scottabow?

He's like an all-star at me.

Yeah, he's absolutely unbelievable.

The duo of them, him lead blocking for Dart on the QB ISO.

It's just a thing of beauty.

Look at the future of the Giants, Chefty.

You look like you had something to say about the future over there.

Listen, Camille.

Cam Scatterbowl looks like John Riggins.

You got Jackson Darty Brownie's Puss of Giuselo.

He's taking way too many hits yesterday.

But here's the issue, and

I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer here, but

when you go out and lose Malik Nevers, you're talking about a transcendent talent.

He is as good as anybody in the game at what he does.

There's no way that you could lose a guy like that and not have it impact your team for the final 13 games of the season.

It's just brutal to see that happen the way it did.

And I hope he's okay.

He gets some time to rest now.

He'll need surgery on that ACL.

But, you know,

Jackson Dart was great.

Cam Scatabu has been great, but they just lost this guy.

You know, and it reminds me of when the Jets beat the Bills on opening day in the game in which Aaron Rodgers tours Achilles and all the Jet fans, they're all excited.

They won the game.

Xavier Gibson returns the punt in overtime for the game-winning score.

You win the battle, you lose the war.

The Giants lost the war yesterday.

They lost this guy.

Whoa.

He's on blue.

They just started, I think,

in the Jackson Dart era.

On that note, Malik, we do.

T's and P's.

The game's going to miss him, especially if we're going to have more eyes on these Giants games than we have in the last year and a half.

I understand in New York, a lot of people are watching them.

Out here, no.

I ain't never watching them.

Nope.

I ain't never seen it.

So everybody tells me about Malik Neighbors, how great he is, and I assume that he is.

And yes, I've seen his highlights, but I haven't watched like a full Giants game in a long time with that being said Jackson Dart and Dayball getting F Scataboo we got Burns doing Spider-Man gif out there I hope Malik Neighbors comes back sooner than ever before but I think we shouldn't just give up hope on this team immediately because he'll pound that rock it feels like will Dayball remain committed to Scataboo and Jackson Dart ISO powers 40 50 times we shall see Bruce.

That's the entire question.

Yeah, we need a lot of 12 personnel, maybe some 22 personnel.

Maybe, you know, we get Tyrone Tracy back.

we go a little 32 personnel, three running backs in the backfield, running the ball 40, maybe 50 times a game.

13 to 20, 111 passing yards.

Let's lose our minds.

Yeah.

I'm on your side, Dart.

Keep it rolling, brother.

T's and P's to Malik neighbors.

Let's talk about a situation that could be brewing a little bit.

Go ahead, Tone.

Yeah, Chef D.

I was watching the Lions and Browns yesterday, and one thing stood out to me, and we love Joe Flacco, okay?

He has not been good.

I believe he is last in the NFL in completion, last in touchdowns, second in interceptions.

Once again, we love Joe Flacco.

But is there a point where Dylan Gabriel and the Browns, they're going to get a chance to see what they have in maybe those two rookie quarterbacks or one, whatever the situation is?

Kevin Szapanski said that's not how he's thinking right now, but I think everybody could see at some point in time that Dylan Gabriel is going to get a chance here to play.

Don't know whether it's a couple of weeks away or a month away, but at some point in time, they're going to go to Dylan Gabriel and give him a shot to see what he can do.

They've got two first-round draft picks, and they've got to figure out what, if anything, Dylan Gabriel can do.

They've got to figure out about Shador.

They got to take a look at these guys.

And the offense is just really struggling.

My God.

The early part of the season.

Just really struggled.

And the defense is playing at such a high level that we saw the spark that the Giants got from going to Jackson Dart.

Now, I'm not telling you that Dylan Gabriel is the same thing.

But at some point in time, you go to a rookie, everybody gets excited.

Then sometimes reality sets in and it's not as exciting but initially you're going to get a spark if the guy can play well uh then maybe you found something at some point in time i think cleveland will make that move but stefanski has not let on that he's thinking about making that move anytime soon so far never wanted to make that move wanted to go in a run with flacco like they did a couple years back for whatever reason it's seemingly not clicking like it did before i like seeing jerry judy dancing in pain yeah

i like seeing jerry judy doing his thing i also wonder if stefanski has to watch dylan gabriel against that defense every day i don't think so

yeah I don't know if this guy's ready yet.

I don't know if he's ready yet.

He'll be tested, though, whenever he gets in there.

And then obviously the Shador Sandros conversation, if Joe Flacco gets removed all of a sudden now, hold on now.

Wait a minute.

If he was on another team, he'd be playing already.

Well, I did hear that.

There's probably a couple teams where he would be out on the field.

Obviously, there's been some injuries and things like that to quarterbacks early.

On that note, do we have another controversy potentially brewing?

Go ahead, Conman.

Yeah, Chef T, of course, Brock Purdy is making $250-plus million dollars, and all those things go into the decision when you are picking who's starting that quarterback.

But it didn't look good for the Niners.

It didn't look good for Brock.

A couple drops, key drops that weren't his fault, but it still was just ugly for the Niners all day.

What are we looking at here with Mac Jones and Brock Purdy?

Is this going to go on for a couple weeks, or do you get the sense that this isn't even a thought?

Mac Jones will not play as long as Brock Purdy is healthy.

Well, here's the issue right now.

Brock Purdy is dealing with some toe soreness after the game yesterday, and they have a short week.

And so I, you know, we'll see whether or not he's going to be able to get back out there.

But I think it's a question in light of Thursday night.

And

he's not the only one.

You got Ricky Pearsall right now.

He's got a strained PCL.

He's going for further testing today.

We'll see if he's going to miss any time.

Jawan Jennings came in after Ricky Pearsall went down and caught a two-point conversion and got laid out.

I'm watching.

I'm watching the game with the guys in the room, Randy Moss and Rex Ryan and Teddy Bruski and Alex.

And they're like, oh, ribs, broken ribs.

I'm like, and Jawan was down.

And all of a sudden, he's in on the next play.

It was incredible.

And they took him to the medical tent.

He couldn't get into the medical tent because Piercell was in there.

So that's kind of like what the Niner season's been like.

No occupancy.

That's not good for the team.

No, it's not.

Don't have two birds in there.

We're at max capacity here.

Sorry.

Medical tent?

That's not a good tent for your team.

Rub some dirt on it.

Get your ass back out there sorry we don't have enough room we're doing enough tests over here baseline you saw what he did geez Zaire Franklin had his knee buckle yesterday was back they took a timeout then he was back like the next play I thought he was gonna be that looked like it really went down he continued to play Micah Micah last night yeah yeah

oh yeah when he reflect he did that back bump yeah Jalen Ramsey Jalen Ramsey had a fake uh hamstring and then he had a real hamstring and then he tried to come back but I think you know he actually did hurt it eventually yeah he did the fake ham he ended a gritty I saw which by the way what

what a celebration

i mean that is one of the best ones out there i thought you were going negative you're actually going positive i saw a couple irish jigs by a couple people feels like massive success over there in ireland yes yeah no it was great it was look you knew it was going to be a great success and you knew that the people there would support it and cheer for it and that was always going to be the inevitable result and they played a good game uh so yeah they'll be back in ireland again i'm sure they they announced last week they'll be back in brazil uh

or wherever we're i they're they're spreading chef game

chef that was awesome somewhere we just saw the computer glitch there for a second

was it brazil was it spain germany

it was so they're going everywhere yes congrats ireland if you'll take another game they will come

yeah i agree australia's on deck that's crazy uh there's you know some seats that seemingly are getting pretty hot college there's already been guys fired yep okay the nfl there has not uh d-butt has a question for you Yeah, we saw the number one pick, Cam Ward, speak after the game and show his obvious frustration with what's going on.

Already 0-4 right now.

Callahan looks like he's been pissed off since the season has started.

Are you expecting any change there?

I'm not calling for anybody's job, but are you expecting any change there to hit coaching position, the Tennessee Titans?

They haven't won.

A lot of unhappy people there.

Again.

You know, you give these answers to some of these teams thinking, like the Giants, I think the phrase we use at that point in time, no sense of urgency to trade, to change quarterbacks.

They lose two games, they change quarterbacks.

I think I would say the same thing about the Tennessee Times.

They're not looking to change coaches right now.

Now, I think everybody could agree that they're going to have to turn things around and play better.

Otherwise, there are going to be changes.

And they're not planning and wanting to do anything right now.

But if losing like that continues and you've got your number one pick coming out and saying the things he does,

That's an issue.

That's a red flag.

And we'll see how they decide to handle it.

They prefer not to have to do anything anytime soon.

They'd like to let the season play out.

But let's see if they come up with a few more losses like yesterday where they got shut out in Houston and looked in-nepth on offense.

Congrats to the Texans.

That had to be huge for them, obviously, with everything going on.

Titans, that Callahan guy in Paul Koworski is already good.

I love it.

They're already at Batten at 1,000.

Nashville is such a great city.

I assume that job would be very much

desirable for us.

Especially if you believe in care.

Sam, and I do.

After every answer he gives, I believe in a more.

For sure.

I believe in a more down there.

Okay, let's look to tonight.

We only have two minutes.

Shefty, on that note, Connor was bringing up this morning when we were off air a little bit, like, what if Miami has a terrible performance here in primetime?

What does that mean for the future there?

Is there anything we should look at tonight storyline-wise?

Yeah, you know, I think Miami's in a similar spot to Tennessee.

They're not winning.

They're not playing great.

The coach is coming under question, but they want to remain patient too.

Now, are they going to lose two more games in a row, still winless and helicopters with banners flying?

Again, that's not what they want to do.

It's not what they're planning to do.

We'll see how tonight goes against the New York Jets who get back Justin Fields coming out of concussion protocol.

Should be a boost for their offense.

Second game, we got a Broncos team that's really struggled, that's had the lead for the majority of the last two games in the fourth quarter.

They lost against the Colts.

They lost against the Chargers.

The Heasley won both games and didn't.

So now they'll be coming home to face the Bengals team that's coming off as bad a game as the team has played this year with Jake Browning, a quarterback.

They're trying to get back on track.

So

we got four teams tonight, four teams tonight that are really trying to make something happen and get something done and get these seasons turned around before it's too late.

Tonight's consummate pretender or consummate contender for the rest of the season, we find out at 7.15 on ESPN and 8.15 on ABC.

Monday Night Football Double Header, we appreciate the hell out of you.

That's Adam Schefter.

Adam Adam Shefty.

This match bowl is a great weekend of ball, and it continues tonight with two games.

We've got a Monday night football.

Doubleheader, 7.15 Eastern Time on ESPN.

AFC East Jets and Dolphins clash as the Dolphins are two and a half point favorites head home.

Remember, down there in Miami, 150% humidity.

Okay, so no matter what the Jets are prepared for, it's going to be hard to battle against the weather.

Will the Dolphins battle at all?

Let's go to one half of the hammer.

Cowboys, Bubble Gumpino.

Gumpy, I know the Dolphins sent you a nice jacket today.

How do we feel about going into prime time?

The Dolphins are on prime time tonight.

Monday night football, Gumpy.

Take it on the Jets.

How do you feel?

I feel great.

No moral victories tonight.

You got to win.

You got to do it.

Darren Waller's back.

First game.

Boys are buzzing.

Dolphins get it done.

You've been talking about Darren Waller playing on Monday night for about a week and a half now.

Seems like you're excited about the addition of him.

Maybe that opens some stuff up for that offense with Tua talking of Valoa, especially when he's that athletic.

Can you showcase that jacket a little bit?

Because I want to let people know that.

Gumpy was almost out on the Dolphins.

Remember, he was going to buy just an NFL hat.

He wasn't going to actually have an actual team.

I don't know if the Dolphins heard about that or if the Dolphins created this.

They sent him up a leather jacket.

They said, don't you leave us, gumps.

Need you, gump.

That was all at the time.

Darren, they even said in the letter, Darren Waller's playing in my game.

And Gumpy's all the way back.

I appreciate that.

That's good ball.

Toxic Table at Boston Connor.

AFC East, obviously, battling tonight.

Nice to see you guys get showcased at 7.15.

Yeah, no.

This is kind of the game that everyone says, like, oh, man, I wish I was in the AFC East.

These teams suck.

Yeah, that is kind of the narrative after these types of games for a lot of divisions, more specifically the AFC East, especially because the Patriots had it for 25 years.

Buffalo Bills currently have Josh Allen in the MVP.

So the Dolphins, who spent all that money on that offense, a new head coach and quarterback, you know, just trying to look up at them.

But what if they aren't looking up?

What if they're looking up at the Jets, too, you know, and everything else?

That would be a tough go, Ty Schmidt, especially for your Packers coming out, you know, tied ball game last night.

It'd be better than getting your asses beat on primetime, no?

Yeah, maybe, but I think more so, like, if you're just a fan in general, this is like, NFL's got to stop doing this.

Like, I see what you're doing, okay?

It's like, you know what?

We're going to give them two shitty Monday Night Football games.

Maybe to kind of cloud their, like, you know, instead of saying, like, this game sucks.

The Bengals at the Broncos.

It's terrible.

It was four weeks.

It really was terrible.

In preseason, it looked good.

But again, we've been talking about this.

Like, if you have the ability, now I get it.

It's very early to flex.

I'm on the forefront.

I don't think they're allowed.

I think they're not.

I don't think they are either.

So in an alternate reality.

That needs to be a change.

Because, like, I'm almost to the point where it's like, you know what?

I don't even know if I want to watch either one of these games.

You're going to protest?

I'm not going to protest.

It's just like I would maybe rather just like smack my putt around and do nothing than watch either one of these games.

Now, granted, it's football.

It's on TV.

It's five hours.

I will watch both.

This is five hours of football tonight.

He's talking about putt beating.

It is better that they put both on almost pretty much the same thing.

I do appreciate seven and ten stack or start.

Handcuffs.

Yeah, exactly.

Hey, what do you do until 1.30 tonight?

I know what you're doing.

You're watching two shitty Monday night football games.

No, no, that's not what they're doing.

Well,

they're not.

They're saying, listen,

we can't waterboard these people for six hours tonight.

Let's split these games up, you know, 30 minutes apart from each other.

We'll be done with it.

And then we'll...

We had this last year.

It was perfect.

Rated halftime in the first game, the second game goes.

Now you got a March Madness five.

Multi-views.

Oh, my God.

We got a March Madness type thing happening.

There's more NFL.

It's good experience.

Bengals Broncos, though, beginning of the season.

Yeah, great game.

This is supposed to be a great game.

They can't flex yet.

I know.

Okay, so you just saying, well, why don't they just pull the trigger and stop being soft and saying we're getting new games out there?

They're not even allowed to.

There should be a clause, though.

It's like, hey, if Joe Burrow gets hurt, like.

Starting quarterback.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Respectfully, fuck Jake Browning.

I don't want to watch him on Monday night football.

Respectfully.

Respectfully.

Very respectfully.

Because he can sling the pill.

I know he's.

I thought I would do this weekend.

Don't get me stuck.

This was, and it shouldn't have been.

It really shouldn't have been.

Man, I just, at my age, I don't know why I'm getting so emotionally invested and so mad at the outcomes of these games.

You called me on Saturday.

Immediately, I called him.

As Mendoza's running out of the back of the end zone, clock is at zero for a while.

Could have gone down at, I think, the 20, 15, 10, 5, or the 2 even.

Instead, it goes all the way up to the 80s.

He's actually pissed about him.

At a safety, yeah, two, one.

Could go down any of these times.

It would be the same result.

Massive negative rushing amount for your entire offense.

Massive negative rushing amount for Fernando Mendoza.

And also the other team gets two points.

Tell him to go down at the 10.

He could have won down at the five.

There's so many times he could have won down.

It was only two seconds.

What they should have done, just sent out the punter.

Basically, that's 1.4 seconds in the snap.

We used to practice this.

I've practiced this a couple times.

Snap for punt, turn around, run,

throw.

as high and far as possible.

Because clock doesn't stop until ball hits ground or whatever, you know?

So I thought in the conversation, I didn't think of this.

This was presented to me as an idea.

And then once I got the idea, I was like, this is an incredible idea.

So I get to throw this thing into the top, basically, because you're trying to throw this as high and far as possible because it doesn't stop until it hits something.

We did it at training camp and we had nothing behind it.

It was just another practice field.

I crow hopped into this thing, threw it.

Maybe my best throw of my entire life.

Tight spiral.

Look like an absolute cannon.

Goes down six seconds maybe six seconds plus the four five six 15 seconds i think in total from snap to me running to throwing is what we could have eaten up i think just the hail mary throw off to the side i think is like seven eight seconds is what they liked two seconds there was no reason to run all the way down

especially when you got a guy on your like can you imagine if he punches that ball out and they score a touchdown like i mean he closed it pretty quick there just wanted to touch the paint he did he did in iowa look at me yeah you know waiting for the kids through the entire thing.

Indiana gets another win.

They might be the best team in the country.

They're not.

Look out.

They might be New York Pitt.

They win at Kinnick.

There could be the best.

He's not, and they're not.

Let's stop doing this right now.

I mean, I live here.

He goes there.

They got to Oregon in a couple weeks, right?

Yep.

Yeah, we'll see.

What do you mean, we'll see?

I mean, they ain't going to be.

I thought Iowa was supposed to be the team.

Gronovsky.

He got a Heisman winner.

Well, he got hurt.

And they had to bring in Hank fucking Brian to save the day.

And he looks like he's eight years old.

He didn't cut it.

But no, I mean, Indiana's good.

They are.

There's no two ways about it.

But we'll just, it's the same.

There are just levels in the Big Ten.

That's what we talked about.

It's like there are those teams in the real upper echelon.

That's making it in the playoffs and stuff?

Exactly.

And then there's everybody else.

Indiana's not.

I mean, we remember what happened last year.

They make it to the playoffs.

They get fucking embarrassed by Notre Dame.

Sig, loved the guy, tucked his tail, was punting a bunch, didn't do it all year, like, just got embarrassed on the national stage.

If they make it again, like,

I'm just saying, like, there are levels to this shit.

Oh, like, we just

talked about it.

It's fresh.

It's fresh.

It is.

It is.

And I, you know, going in.

I get it.

I told him, can we just pump the brakes on the Sigs, Bear Bryant, for a second?

Okay, they beat Iowa by five.

All right, let's not.

But look at what they did to Illinois.

And then Illinois beats USC, and everyone's saying how good USC is.

It's like, there are four teams in the Big Ten who are really good, and then there's just everybody else.

Ohio State number one team.

Oregon,

Miami, Omis.

I mean, I like Oklahoma there.

A ⁇ M, Penn State, IU, Texas, Alabama rounded out.

I love what college football has been doing.

It's the best.

It has been a great season thus far.

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup winner.

He's also a Hoffdom.

That's a Hall of Fame nominee.

Ladies and and gentlemen, Mr.

Hoffdom himself, A.J.

Hawk.

What's up, Hoff?

How are you doing, brother?

You don't think, old buddy, they didn't tell him to go down?

They didn't want that safety right there?

Sig,

now we got a safety on the books.

Why would we ever do this?

He's got a little bit of a ball.

Watching this in real time was a bit scary, I'm not going to lie.

It was pretty scary.

You thought that guy was going to catch him, or what?

You just thought?

I just thought, like, there's so many things that could go wrong.

I'm just telling him to get down for 20 yards until he knows why.

Can he see the clock?

There had to be a clock somewhere in that end.

When that thing hits zero, you're good.

You can just kind of go down.

Negative rushing yard.

Offensive line coach, not going to like that.

Obviously, he's going to have to run a lot to get back into the green this year as a whole.

I mean, that's 40-some yards.

I don't know if Mendoza's getting there.

No way.

I don't know if he's getting there.

I like that part about it.

He doesn't care about the stats.

Whatever it takes to win.

Yeah, maybe he was laughing the whole time.

Maybe he's Mike Thunder.

Exactly.

Maybe he was laughing at him the whole time, and that's why he was doing it.

And then once we hear it, it'll make sense.

I will say he is impressive.

He's a tough son of a bitch.

He stands in there and takes massive hits and still gets, like, I was very impressed with Mendoza.

There's a chance he's the number one overall pick.

Like, that is very, very real, especially with his football IQ, what everybody's saying.

If he's able to do well during the combine era, it depends on who has the number one pick, I guess, or who needs a quarterback.

But if you're like a system place that needs accuracy and a guy that plays on rhythm and knows what defenses are doing, which there's still a lot of those offenses in the NFL, there's a chance that he wins over everybody, especially if he wins the Heisman.

What's his Dems?

How big is he?

He's tall.

He's big, like 6'5, 230, something like that.

Yeah, he's big.

He's a big boy.

He's from 2001.

Yeah.

You know, like, but he.

He's gigantic.

He's a South Florida kid, too.

Okay.

He's got grip.

I mean, he's got a little job.

I was surprised how big Drew Allen was.

I saw him play, but like when he came, I'm like, God.

I didn't like that.

I also like the fact that he said he would hand the ball off 30 times if that means they would win.

In this world of NIL and exposure and everything, you want want to run up the numbers that is a terrible ending for him against oregon though yes it is that is a that is the worst case scenario there for drew aller in that penn state team aj i got a chance to experience that and feel that did you do that did you do one you said yeah i got beat in a whiteout before yeah it's a pretty uh it's a pretty electric environment i would say the place goes straight up you know so it's very very loud and those fans they know what they're doing that's kind of my takeaway as well is Like I was down in Tennessee.

They had 102,000, I think.

Obviously, I've had the opportunity to be in Michigan's big house, 112,000.

I think it's the biggest or whatever.

And then there's other huge stadiums around.

This one felt more on top.

It felt like a 65,000, 70,000 seater, if that makes sense.

Normally the 100,000 ones, because there's so many people, you got to take up a lot of space.

That one felt intimate almost.

And that DJ in there, AJ, I don't know what the rules are.

It was perfectly done.

As soon as the tackle happened, it was clear that the person running the music knew ball.

Like, hey, plays over, right, Bang right now.

Almost like timing up the tackle right into a song.

It was like the fans are in it.

So for them to not only come out victorious, this Oregon team, but withstand the battle and then to get a turnover like that so far away from home.

Yeah.

So far.

That flight so, so far away in front of a completely hostile environment.

Stanford Steve stopped by the bus.

We hung out on the bus by the stadium.

I took a nap actually during the day while watching the games.

It was great on the bus, to be honest.

Stanford Steve came over like two hours before the game kicked off.

He comes onto the bus and I go, how is it out there?

And he goes, absolute destruction.

He said, it's pure chaos out there.

I go, what do you mean?

He goes, everywhere, everybody intoxicated.

He said, everybody, it's a super positive.

Everybody obviously having a good time.

But he said, it was just, it's seemingly.

utter chaos.

You're just out there?

Yeah, I was in the middle of it all.

I had no idea.

I was walking out the tunnel before the team, AJ.

Look, I'm right there.

I'm with the band right now.

I'm with the band.

We're doing the whole thing.

This is me and Gumpy.

That's the athletic director, Pat Craft.

Obviously, he's having the time of his life.

But yeah, they wanted,

they provided me an opportunity to kind of experience it all over there.

It was almost like I was a recruit.

Wow.

Are you committed?

I would.

Yeah, I absolutely got a wrestling.

I'm part of a wrestling team.

Yeah.

I'm a national champion.

I got a singlet.

I went over to the volleyball team.

Obviously, Coach K took care of me, and we had an absolute blast.

It was was nice to hit one, Donner.

Good killer.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

Pretty explosive.

Yeah, that was the second one of the day.

The first one happened, let's say, six seconds before that one.

It was not really planned.

I was just talking to Coach Katie while they're doing these drills.

And I was like, can I hit one of these?

Because I was watching the setter set.

She's like, absolutely grabs the ball.

She goes, yo.

And she just throws it to it.

It was like within a half a second.

And I go out there.

The first one, I also hit pretty good.

Kind of woke everybody up in the

gym.

They're like, holy shit, what the hell is this?

So then Coach Katie actually looks at Gumpy, goes, we need a camera on this.

Get a camera.

Gumpy opens his camera as the ball is being tossed in there.

Bang, it happens.

Felt more athletic than I've felt in my entire life.

Hat hits the net, though.

So there was a lot of people.

You know, a little bit of a net infraction, certainly out there.

But that team was so cool,

so hospitable.

And Coach Katie, obviously learning her story at the Espys and then getting a chance to follow up with who she is.

1999 national champion, won the first one for Penn State's women volleyball.

Also played on the basketball team whenever she was there now she's in the middle of this dynastic like run and everybody loves her all the assistant coaches all have national championships oh yeah she hung three banners here uh she's two-time national champion here uh that guy yep he's a national champion for some other school but he's here and then you talk about the athletic director pat craft They want to win it.

Hockey, they got the guy.

Basketball, they're getting the people.

For the volleyball team, there was a transfer from Florida who you know,

what was the guy's name?

Ravel Martin.

He was a receiver of the packers he coached for her a few years yeah and his daughter's six foot six in trains at the penn state yeah and i think her name's kennedy martin maybe and uh yeah you're right she's getting an nio she she obviously has an nio deal happening six she's unbelievable

she's um she moves too like she very athletic there was one rally one run

where she was a part of a block she they'd have her on a weak side which is the right side which is opposite their power so their best hitter is normally on that side but when you have somebody who's 6'6 and as athletic as she is it's like a pretty perfect setup There was this one rally where she blocks it, then they get it, they go to the other side, then she goes over a part of like a triple block, and then it goes back over, and then they set her, and she just, it was poetry in motion, it was like clearly the best player.

But then you look around at the rest of the squad, they got dogs everywhere.

I mean,

it was an honor to get to know them.

Patrick Ewing's daughter's on that team.

Wow.

Two of Joe Juravicius' daughters are on that team.

The rest of the squad, it's, and they are, they are going for it.

State's making a run, huh?

And all sports, bro.

And that was even more solidified this weekend.

You know, I went and talked to the athletic director and Nicholas, Paison Nicholas and Pat Craft, AAD, the first time because their friends, AQ, knows them.

So I got a chance to chat with them.

And I'm like hearing them talk.

And I'm like, wow,

this is what you want your athletic director saying.

Former middle linebacker, he's all in.

We got alumni who have money.

They want to give us money.

Like, it's just my job to call them and say, hey, can we, can we do this?

We need a renovation.

We need this player.

We need a hawks player.

We got a volleyball player.

We got another.

Like, that is what they're doing.

They're going all in on sports.

And

that got even more solidified this weekend.

That loss had to be heartbreaking.

Brutal.

Will they ever get over the?

Yeah, saw it coming, but brutal.

Well, their fans would say the same thing.

Yeah, exactly.

They were chaining Fire Franklin after the 17-3 and Dan Lannings, you know, doing a little slash on the sideline.

Like, it was an awesome little

thing, really.

But then, you know, unfortunately,

the roller coaster comeback almost made it worse for them because then people get even more mad because they think you should have won, even though you should have lost.

It was crazy.

Unbelievable game, though.

Dante Moore is so good.

So good at football.

Drew Aller had that driver too where it's like, that's it.

That's it.

Right there.

Just

kind of let it loose.

That's what you need.

Dan Lanning was juiced.

Dan Lanning was excited.

That was awesome to see him after the game.

He's about to start crying out there because of how pumped he was for his boys.

You know, that is how I think he just views it as my boys.

Like, that is how he views it all.

He is so locked in.

And first shoot, did get texts from him during game day.

Like,

the fuck you doing?

Fair.

I thought we were pretty nice to you guys.

You know?

But did you tell him?

Like, hey, I'm staying here the rest of the day, man.

I did actually tell him.

Yeah, I gave him, I let him know.

Like, brother, I'm going out the tunnel.

I'm going.

You can't stick around if I pick you guys.

And also, the vibes here, I know you're in a hotel that's like 40 minutes away because there's not a lot of hotels and everything in there.

The vibes here are insane.

Like, it is, that place was lit from 4 a.m.

all the way until midnight after that game.

They're yearning for it, brother.

Yeah.

That Oregon Ducks team, though, real deal.

Defensive side for both these guys, all of them.

Oh, yeah.

Just the look of all of them.

And they look like a professional.

On TV, they look like a professional.

They boy got two professional operations over there.

Both sides of the ball.

And it's like the defenders, the way these dudes look, these D-linemen that have weird numbers, like 28, 19 rolling.

AJU's brother, Mateo.

Yeah, Ui Angalale.

Yes, he's unbelievable.

And then I think LeVar Arrington's boy is wearing an 11 he didn't play much but he's like a freshman there it's like they are just like that's an they're becoming NFL factories these places yes and these are what these schools who have a lot of support are going to continue to do especially whenever they're all in that was fun to be a part of stick city beer LeVar's beer I didn't know any of that was happening by the way had to audible everything

He said he brings up a backpack, looked like a cooler, just because I've seen that thing in the wild before, but I didn't know exactly.

Then he had like a soft bag, and he was like, Where should I put these?

And we're like, What are they?

You know, and he opens the soft bag, and it's that linebacker u-chain.

I'm like, oh, shit.

He's like, I'm gonna put that on right there.

I was like, all right, I'll hold it for you right here because we didn't have anything.

So I was holding that, and I saw the cooler still.

I didn't know we had another gimmick still.

And when he brought those beers out, I'm like, brilliant.

This is genius.

You own this?

Yep, yep, absolutely.

Genius commercial right here.

So he worked.

And he killed it.

Yeah.

Yeah, he did.

He was

really killed.

And he killed it all.

So he has that.

He does that.

And then obviously he has a beer sitting right in front of me.

It's like, LeVar Arrington is offering me a beer right now.

I'm going to have a beer with LeVar Arrington if I have the opportunity.

I grew up in Pittsburgh during the era in which LeVar was

outrageous, AJ.

You're talking about one of the freakiest athletes of all time, legitimately all time, A.J.

Oh, yeah.

Like, I guess the younger generation might not know of it, but the iconic jumping over the center, hitting the quarterback, like everything LeVar did, he was ahead of his time, I guess, with how athletic he was back in the day and how he could move and what he did man he was a special special player that felt real comfortable there talking shit to him you know that was uh that was certainly a decision he was a little pissed off before he even hit it over too I don't know you guys are all white you didn't feel the positive vibe what are you talking about you're talking about me no LeVar when he was speaking to I think Jess right before he hit it to the stage right before the commercial break yeah he said we weren't talking positive that was not all about he was drawing up stuff I said whoa whoa whoa I didn't know if my mic was on we're not we've said nothing but positive positive things.

We actually have texts from the other side telling us that we need to maybe clean it up a little bit, but that place was packed.

And

drinking a beer with them certainly came out of nowhere.

The shirt ripoff was decided about halfway through when I realized how obvious it was that the jacket was not as white as it would be.

You know, that was the decision in there.

But the beer was spectacular.

Thanks for the hospitality.

And they still got everything in front of them, AJ.

They still got everything in front of them.

So do all the teams in the NFL.

No matter how bad your start has been.

It's only week five.

You have no idea what your team can become.

I'm sorry, we're wrapping up tonight.

You have no idea what your team can become.

AJ, if you have a tie on your record, you might as well just punt it the entire week.

Have you heard the thought on the golden boot that I pitched in the first hour?

Maybe have a snap hold kickoff.

Debut actually said get the whole field goal team and field goal block team out there for these, especially with how good guys and teams have become in blocking these kicks.

But what I'm saying here is here is an electrifying opportunity to determine a winner in a sport that is supposed to represent our country, in which we like winners

and losers.

Either

can't be tied.

No.

We just can't do that.

AJ, your thoughts on Golden Boot and also the game last night as a whole.

Both offenses looked very good.

Dak Prescott might be having his best season.

This guy is outrageously good.

And the conversation goes from Dak is letting down the Dallas Cowboys to now I think it's like, are the Dallas Cowboys letting down Dak?

Like, that is the conversation about how good he is.

And then George Pickens obviously has an immense evening as C.D.

Lamb was down.

Shout out to GP doing his thing in primetime for his new team.

And then Jordan Love, same exact situations.

Josh Jacobs, obviously awesome.

Golden, new star in the making in the NFL as a whole.

Sick number.

He takes a spin move, shot to the face that I thought he was going to be down for.

He pops right up.

This dude's insanely tough.

He ran a 4-2.

Yes.

He ran a 4-2.

He's taking that shot, doesn't lose the ball, and gets right up.

And also, offering to punt return, running 4-2.

It's like, that's a special talent.

I think both offenses were showcased.

And then Micah Parsons makes a play that saves the game at the end.

Is this exactly what we should have expected from this game, AJ?

I mean, it's not exactly what I expected to see.

I didn't expect to see all of this offense, all these points being scored.

But I think both these teams are solid.

I really do.

I think Dak was awesome.

He was on time.

He was so good, got rid of the ball.

We know Micah was after him all night, finally got to him.

But George Pickens, I think, kind of having a breakout game for the Cowboys has to go a long way for not only George, but the whole offense.

So, yeah, I mean, Ty said, what, the Packers, it feels like they're bipolar.

It may be a little truth to that, but maybe that's some of their inexperience, some of their youth showing, I guess.

It might take them some more time to be more consistent, but that's what everyone's going for, to like consistently week in and week out to put out there to play quality ball both on offense and defense.

It's really hard to do.

So what do you think about ties?

That was our number five headline from the first 15.

Your thoughts on ties as a whole?

McManus, huge kicks last night.

Same with Aubrey.

It shouldn't happen in the NFL.

It shouldn't happen.

I know the regular season, do they claim

it's player safety, right?

They don't have like a four-overtime game, so it's a player safety thing.

I think all players would be okay if we didn't have ties, if we figured it out.

The golden boot, whatever it is, I think you should send, you should have the rush team and the block team out there.

You should have 11 guys on both sides of the ball if you are to do this.

And it would be sick because, you know, Michael Parsons go block a kick to win this thing.

Yeah, there's a chance that he, especially if it's the third kick, like if they hit from 50, hit from 55, then they got to go to 60.

Offensive lineman,

they're about done with this shit.

Yeah,

they could be rolling in fresh rushers, too, on the fit on the field goal block.

Unless, you know, you could make the rules so you can, but now on the note, we can definitely have a quarterback carnival as well if you want to wheel one out, have guys go through a carousel, figure out what the points are, but we can't be having a tie.

A race?

No, have them right.

There's Latin 50-yard line.

That'd be cool.

Matthew Golden versus whoever the fact.

Turpin.

Team elects.

That'd be wild.

Team sends out their fastest.

Yeah, and I think team standing.

Yeah.

Right?

I think it's a tunnel of the teams down there.

And then you got obviously cameras down to 50.

And then you got the beginning.

How do they start?

Same with the 40-yard dash guy from the Steelers.

Soul School, right?

Ready to say go.

Or two fatsos.

Get the two fattest guys, slowest guys.

Have a team.

Hey, you guys are running from the goal line to goal line.

Hundos.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'd be out for next game.

Yeah, exactly.

That'd be the greatest chance, but but, you know, it'd be pretty soon.

We're all on the same page, though.

We can't have ties, right?

No.

I think everybody's on the same page.

Here's what Jerry Jones had to say about the trade inevitably and how the game ended up.

One of his best sound bites of all time.

They got Micah, and we've got what we've got, and we tied.

Bingo!

And we tied.

It's a 40-40 trade, bro.

That's what it is.

And he told Jason Garrett in Football Night in America, as he was guest, as Micah was coming on the field, he said, one guy or six guys.

Jason, you fucking do the math.

It's kind of what he said.

Kind of how he, and he said, I've always got the numbers right.

So he's viewing this as a long game.

And I think he was very gratified that this game didn't end up in an L.

Now, he will spin this as the greatest tie in history.

If you think about everything that's happened, obviously most electrifying tie in the history of all sports is how he will pitch it.

But the Micah trade, obviously, I'm happy we're kind of past this game, AJ.

I think I'm kind of happy we're past it.

I am too.

And the walkout, everything about it just shows you like what Jerry does.

And Mike, I know my kids are asking what that band was around his body, around his legs.

And you see he has like his warm-up band.

I don't know if that every game or not.

That you do little side steps and lunges in the locker room usually to get loose.

I don't know.

Is that normal for him?

It's the first time I've seen it on any human as well.

He grabbed it there as he was jogging, so it felt like he knew.

uh it was still on him but that is a potentially a chance where you put on the wrong shorts if you're a basketball player sure and you forget that it's on there especially with how strong you are then you get up in front of 100,000 people.

No fucking way.

All right, act normal.

Act normal.

You just got to go with it.

But I mean, I can't imagine the shit that was going through his head at that moment, been in the place you've been.

It's been four years, you know.

Obviously, you still got your suite there, still got a bunch of family and friends there.

You know, all eyes are on you.

He's probably tired of hearing it from both sides talking about it.

So just allowed in that moment to go out and then actually have to play a football game.

Here's Micah Parsons afterwards from John Machota.

Honestly, I think all the emotions for me being in Dallas went away the moment they traded me.

I hate them.

I didn't even get to talk to my owner, the person that drafted me.

I found out through my agent, okay, so they did talk.

So to me, that emotion side was pointless because the same way he called me into his office as a man, he couldn't tell me as a man.

So to me, that emotion side was gone.

It was more about respect factor at this point.

We also learned last night in the kickoff show, that once the trade was kind of happening, I guess Micah told Mulagetta to reach out to Jerry to see if we can get a deal done.

And Jerry said, that ship has sailed, brother.

I'm getting a bunch of picks.

I will see you later.

That was kind of broken last night.

I don't think I remember that in the story.

Do you?

No, I don't.

I thought last night was the first time I heard it.

Yeah, that felt like pretty big news, especially throughout the entirety.

I don't know how we didn't get that until now.

Yeah, I thought we heard in the morning.

I'm not sure.

I was watching it a lot, but didn't Jay basically put this whole thing together, Jay Glazer?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I did.

He did.

He connected all the dots.

Oh, okay.

Another story we chatted about in the first hour is the NFL is bubbling in Dublin, AJ.

Pittsburgh Steelers get a huge win.

Aaron looked happy and very good against a fully Carson Wentz experienced Minnesota Vikings team.

What are your thoughts on the game in Ireland?

And Greg Olson was awesome, and so is DK, and so is Justin Jefferson.

I like that we're force-feeding the stars, AJ.

Yeah, you should.

We need to.

I mean, I tell the ball DK as much as you possibly can.

This play was really cool to see like all of it, the interaction, Tom went on the sideline, Aaron.

You see how juiced everybody was.

It was cool to see, you know, TJ show up and have a big day in Ireland as well.

And you're right.

You guys talked a little bit about the grass.

What is Ireland doing that they actually had a field that was actually kind of held up compared to others over there?

It's the Emerald.

I will come.

Come on, dude.

Okay, they got some right.

They know grass over there.

They know green grass

over there.

This shot, I think, is what you were talking about being historic.

Obviously, Aaron looked happy.

He looked to be enjoying it.

And this throw to Metcalf, this felt like a younger Aaron.

That was a strike.

I'm out.

In a window, hitting obviously a superstar.

And a lot of people are saying that's Jordy Nelson all day right there.

That looked like shades of when he had Jordy.

And this is just early in the season still.

There's a chance that DK and Aaron only continue to grow.

That offense looked a lot better than I think I expected it to look or any Steelers fan probably expected it to look.

Yeah, it was awesome because it was kind of different.

Like they got DK going early in the broadcast talked about a lot how he wasn't just lining up at X.

He was lining up in the slot.

He was lining up at Z.

So they were moving him all around.

The defense didn't know exactly where they were going to be.

They brought in the sixth tackle 15 times and they ran for like 85 yards on those 15.

And then they had the extra tight end, Darnell Washington, which is basically a seventh lineman a lot.

They ran the ball so well with Gainwell.

And then Aaron, like Aaron is so good at getting out of bad situations.

Like that's the big difference between this year and last year is getting out of bad situations, not taking terrible sacks, but then also getting seven on the board in the red zone instead of kicking three every single time.

How'd you feel about the defenses, D-Bud?

The defense, I like them.

I expected more, a little something different from Brian Flores and that defense I expect it.

But, I mean, Aaron Rodgers got the ball out quick as he has since 2016.

I think I saw a stat from Next Gen Stat, like 2.7 seconds average time to throw, which has been the fastest in damn near 10 years.

So that is kind of how you counteract what Brian Flores does pre-end, post-snap.

Just get the ball out of your hands, get it into the playmakers' hands.

And then Pittsburgh's defense,

I think it was Greg who was talking about how they are a splash play defense.

They live on turnovers, tips, and overthrows, sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, all those different things.

things.

You saw it, you know, all day long.

TJ Watt with another pick.

I don't know how he's just always around the ball.

Got on this prestigious list, 100 sacks, eight interceptions.

I think it's only a handful of guys who have gotten on that list throughout the history of the NFL.

So big-time win for the Pittsburgh Stillers.

Yeah, allegedly, you know, you guys know defense a lot better than me, but the way Olson was breaking it down is they baited.

Carson into throwing that ball into the middle.

TJ probably had a good sense that that ball was coming to the middle.

Is that accurate?

Yeah, that was a good point.

Yeah, Caleb football.

A great point, I think, Greg made by just knowing the shell of your defense.

Like, where are the open guys going to be?

And it's going to be across the middle.

So just getting those hands up.

You saw it with Max Crosby.

He got Caleb with it in the different Game Bears Raiders.

But right here, yeah, that's, I mean, that's TJ Watt football.

Yeah, completely.

It's Pittsburgh Steelers football, but TJ Watt is obviously the driver.

I mean, but it's crazy.

If they were actually setting that up, like, hey, we're going to use this coverage.

We know he's going to, Carson Wentz's going to, he's going to bite.

He's going going to throw this thing right here.

So if you just kind of venture over to the middle, you might be able to steal one here.

They've talked about that, or TJ has studied that and known that that was going to be the case.

That's the level of ball, that's the difference.

Now, there are some players in college that are just incredible.

There are some players that are immaculate at the sport of football, but they make a mistake that maybe costs them absolutely everything.

We actually have a trailer to a documentary that's going to be debuting on Hulu tomorrow.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the story.

Chad Powers.

Son, it's time to face it.

Your football career is over.

We're here on the grandest stage in American sports, Kirk.

And for Russ Holiday, a chance to do something special.

You were showboating and you blew the game.

This is insane.

Oh, no.

Georgia is going to win a championship.

What was Holiday thinking?

It's time for you to move on.

There's just one problem dad.

I'm not done with football

South Georgia's having open tryouts

I'm gonna do a Mrs.

Dow fire

But with football

here to try out what's your name

Jay

and last name Legit

Who's 200?

That was one hell of a performance.

Let me take your helmet off.

I'm going to leave it on.

Bye.

You know, in this helmet, I feel

strong.

Like a strong, powerful male.

This isn't just football.

This is acting.

Chad, why don't you remind the game day viewers where you're from?

West Virginia.

Stay away from backstory and factoids.

And what part of West Virginia?

So if you go west in West Virginia, it's the west is the westest of the west,

Marty's gonna get you.

I like you.

That red red rocket is big and dirty.

You are a puzzle.

Yeah.

Personal hygiene is part of participating in a society.

I wish I could be in there, Coach.

I know you wish you could be in there, too.

I wish that

you were born for this moment.

Every choice, every mistake carries you to this spot.

Why are you helping me?

Because no one is beyond second chances.

Ours for the end zone!

Who the f is that guy?

He's like extremely ugly.

Russ was an asshole.

Chad doesn't have to be.

I'm sure it's a different quarterback with frosted tips and a cubic zirconia stud.

Well, it's real.

It's a blood bang.

You verified that somehow.

Whatever.

That's available tomorrow.

Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, Chad Powers.

This is Glenn Powers.

Glenn Powers.

Glenn, good to see you, Glenn.

Good to see you, dude.

How you guys doing?

Okay,

have you seen the entirety of the Chad Powers experience?

And how excited were you after filming it to see what they inevitably made the movie into?

Well, this is the first show that I've co-created.

So I've been on every step of this thing to make sure it's like made it the highest level.

So, you know, we've got to shoot at real games.

We're using real teams, you know, real uniforms, real helmets, the whole thing in terms of, you know, that's the, that's the beauty of getting to do this kind of with ESPN is like, we're not saying it's like the San Francisco Sharks.

We're getting to use like real teams from the real NCAA.

But this thing.

For college football fans, this is made for college football fans.

It's, it, it checks out.

It's head to toe legit.

Hard not to be.

Not the Mannings, you know?

Yeah, I was about to say, hard not to be corny, right?

Probably, because I was listening to it.

I was very worried, okay?

As that trailer got sent over, two minutes and 30 seconds, I said, oh, no, I like all these parties involved.

I like Peyton.

I like Eli.

I like Glenn Powell.

Okay, obviously, like college football.

I like everything that's involved in this thing.

And then I started going to myself, oh, this might be the worst thing about that.

Glenn wouldn't sign up for the worst thing.

No, he wouldn't.

That is my battle in my head.

So then I watched that trailer.

I'm like, okay,

feels like we do have a good chance at this.

The story, when people watch it, what's their takeaway going to be?

That was hilarious.

That was a good time.

Look, this is, it is a rowdy, fun, edgy time.

This is, this is not Ted Lasso.

This is way edgier and,

you know, more, I would say, truthful to the sport than something like that.

You have something like, you know, I think when you have Peyton and Eli on something like this, it's going to be legit.

You know, I had Patrick Mahomes' quarterback coach as my quarterback coach.

Like every single part of this, yet you got Herb Street and Fowler, you know, commentating on the national championship game.

You know, in terms of this world, you're going to recognize this world.

It doesn't feel like like it's made from outsiders.

I promise.

You're going to love this.

Show is made for you, Pat.

Yeah, I cannot wait.

You're a die-hard Texas Longhorn fan.

Obviously, we've seen you at a lot of the game sideline.

Now that you're a big movie star, can't make all of them happy.

But I will say to you, as a movie star,

I don't know if that's you throwing every ball in there, but we've obviously seen other actors try to throw a football.

Okay.

We've obviously seen it.

Thank you for at least holding up your end of the bargain.

It seems like from the trailer this far.

Well, that's like the hardest thing.

I think as an actor, you've never seen,

it's so hard when actors play a quarterback because it's the most technical position on the field.

To fake it, it's very, very hard.

So that was like the thing with Peyton and Eli.

They were like, they are the most brutal quarterback coaches.

I was like, please be brutal.

And they put me in front of real, you know, real defenses.

And

they had real guys running at me the whole time.

And I was like,

and reading the defenses, like they were so technical about where my eyes were and how I was processing the field.

So, you know, I'm never going to be,

you know, I can fake it enough, but I got to say the football checks out in this.

Okay, I'm pumped to hear that.

Go ahead, AJ.

Yeah, as far as like the physicality and the contact that you had and when you guys were filming, did you ever have to dish it out or take any punishment?

And how much better of a quarterback are you now than you were when you started filming that?

I'm a lot better than what I started, that's for sure.

I think everybody is worried.

I mean, Eli gave me a lot of...

a lot of shit from my form on Top Gun Maverick, that's for sure.

But, you know, obviously he's never thrown a ball covered in coconut oil.

Of course.

It's Top Gun's about the flexing.

It's not about the football.

It's dogfight football.

It's dog fight football.

Those rules are made up.

Everybody knows this.

They may play in Dublin, but not in the States.

You know, the fact is, like, Eli and Payton, you know, they had me, you know, really working with all the best.

And so, like, yeah, the...

Oh, wait, your question was what exactly?

Contact.

Oh, contact.

In this Rose Bowl sequence, we are using real NFL players.

I mean, like half of the line, you know, D-line was Baltimore Ravens players.

So there's a guy 6'5, 325 running out.

That might be a part of the problem.

I'll tell you what, these guys are too worried working with Chad Powers.

They forgot how to tackle.

They got starstruck by Glenn Powell.

I get it.

Who set them up to do that?

Was you

Chuck Fogano?

No, I mean, we're not like improving.

There's like proper play that is choreographed that's happening.

But at the same time, it doesn't change it.

When you're spinning and you're getting ready to set, and then all of a sudden there's like a guy that that size running at you, you kind of forget where you are.

You know,

it's a pretty intense thing.

Buddha and Stavi are not going to love to hear that.

Ty has a question about maybe the future of this.

Yeah, Glenn, when you guys were putting this together, was there any thought of like, hey, we're going to maybe leave it a little open-ended in case you want to do a season two?

Or was it originally just like, hey, you know what?

This is going to be six episodes or whatever it is and then we'll be done or what's what's that uh thought process like i mean the thought process has always been i i personally don't like i don't have a lot of free time so i don't like people wasting my time so we have a very very specific plan of a beginning middle and end to chad powers and uh so it's epic but it takes place all over the course of one football season okay um

when you piece this together you think to yourself this is gonna be the greatest character I've ever played, most fun character I've ever played?

How do you kind of view it?

I mean, the thing I'm realizing right now about

being an actor is like,

you spend so much time on set and you spend so much time researching that like you want to occupy worlds that you actually love.

I'm like, why don't I just like...

For this press tour, I'm just getting to go to college football games.

It's like the best.

And so I'm like, there's no reason to not just be taking over stadiums and be like, you know, learning from the best.

It's like, it's been a dream.

Like, this was like, it was like not one bad day on this entire shoot.

Yeah, there's rom-com, though, out there on the beach, you know, somewhere.

Yeah.

Six months, five months, living abroad, just flexing the entire time.

I'm sure that's a good time.

I'm sure it's not bad for going back.

No, there's nothing fun about taking your shirt off on camera.

You know, it's like I'd much rather be in prosthetics in a jersey.

That's for sure.

See, that's the thing about being that handsome.

That's the whole, all right, let's make me look ugly one time.

That'll be fun in its entirety.

Go ahead.

I mean, Pat, you take your shirt off more than I do in rom-coms.

You take your shirt off on that desk more than anybody.

Yeah, it's an easy shirt.

That's all I get at the white game, man.

It's a sun's out, guns out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's a white-out game.

I don't know what white game you're at.

I'd like to be a game.

It's like it's a night game.

There's no reason to take your shirt off at a night game, but I'm all for it.

Sorry.

Okay.

Connor has a question for you and your future.

Yeah, Glenn, big project coming up with JJ Abrams.

How pumped are you to work with him on something, and how much kind of communication do you two have now about everything?

JJ is the man.

I mean, he's a filmmaker I've wanted to work with forever.

And

we have a whole little thing in the movie surrounding the Pats.

It all takes place in Boston.

But

he's a great filmmaker, great guy.

And that movie, I've gotten to see a bunch of it.

It really turned out.

Okay, Running Man 2 soon, right?

Yeah.

Wednesday.

November.

That's coming out in November.

We got Chad Powers coming out tomorrow on Hulu.

We got Running Man coming out.

We got a J.J.

Abrams.

And then there's something else, too, right?

What's he cooking up?

Go ahead, Ty.

Yeah, Glenn, I mean, it's just, this is preliminary.

They're saying you're attached to it.

I'm just just telling you right now, for my sanity, for what I need in my life, you got to do Miami Vice, okay?

You have to do it.

You and Michael B.

Jordan are attached to this thing.

We need it.

The U.S.

needs this right now.

Yeah, pops up.

Joe Kaczynskin.

You've worked with him before.

Do you want to just do that right now?

Do you want to say, you know what?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to be Miami Vice.

I love Michael B.

I love Joe Kaczynski.

I got to say, it's unbelievable how much you guys try to break entertainment news on the show.

I'm not falling for it this time, Pat.

I'm not doing it.

Okay, but if you were thinking about doing it,

that'd be the one to do.

You would say it is.

Pat,

if I start moving towards Miami, I'll give you a shout.

As soon as

my linens are on, I'll give you a shout.

Okay, we like that.

We're like, you look so cool down here.

Oh, my God.

You have to grow your hair out with a mustache, too.

Maybe keep that one earring like Chad Powers had just for your entire blood diamond.

No.

No.

Ty hated the earring.

Ty was watching the trailer going, why is the

Spartan care?

No, I get it.

I guess it's a blood diamond.

Good movie, by the way.

It just felt like an Oregon quarterback, you know, like, you know, frosted tips.

Pay Lanning's on.

Let's talk college ball.

Go ahead, D-Bud.

Yeah, State, we're quarterbacks, quarterback of your team, Arch Manning.

Obviously, huge, high, high expectations coming into the season.

Hasn't quite played up to them yet.

What's your thoughts on their quarterback, young quarterback, and how he's figuring it out?

You know, I think Arch is figuring it out.

I think, you know, Sam Houston State, you know, I got to go to that game and it was really fun to obviously see Arch, you know, find what we've all seen him, you know, see him do last season.

You know, when he was, you know, coming in under yours, he showed up when he needed to, and I think he got the confidence he needed.

And, you know, I'm just excited to, you know.

I think it was good to just get him out of his head.

There was a lot of noise preseason that, you know, obviously we were all part of.

And I think it's good to get him just, you know, rocket fire, stop thinking and just do.

Matir, potentially out of the Red River rivalry.

Do you want to maybe send him some best wishes so we get the best of both teams, right?

Isn't that what we should be looking at?

Matir should take his time getting better.

As much time as Matir needs to get to get rested in that hospital, I think he should take at least till after Texas OU.

I think it's really important he take care of himself.

So I don't think he should be back for Texas OU.

That's my opinion.

And that's former college football player Chad Powers there speaking.

And Texas alum and donor

speaking, Glenn Powell.

Go ahead, Tone.

Yeah, Glenn, why were you on Oregon and not Texas?

You didn't want to put that bad juju on a fumble of the goal line on Texas or what happened there?

Good question.

I never want to be a part of Texas losing a national championship, that's for sure.

But also, you know, Russ Holiday, who's our quarterback, you know, in the show, you know, it's really important to be sort of part of a West Coast team.

We wanted him to be West Coast going down south.

You know, so it just felt like Oregon, especially with like the Nike component, felt fun, splashy.

It felt like we were part of a world, you know.

Go ahead, AJ.

Yeah, you've played a quarterback now.

Does it make you want to play some other sport?

Say like you're an NBA basketball player.

Do you play Major League Baseball?

Are you co-creating or producing anything else where maybe you play another sport?

Ping pong.

This is is going to be like

the Avengers with prosthetics.

We're just going to put masks and go into every single sport.

It's not a terrible idea, AJ.

I mean, honestly,

I think we could 100% take this.

I mean, Barnstormers is my production company.

We really want to be like the go-to place for all sports content.

So look, if Chad Powers is a hit, you never know what other sports we can go into.

So, you know,

you'll be the first.

If you want to put back on the cleats, you know,

we can find you a prosthetics guy for sure.

Let's remake the program.

Have you seen the program?

Oh, we should remake the program.

Of course.

That's a good idea.

AJ will definitely do the steroids for it, too, if you need them.

Right, AJ?

Yeah, if the Hollywood people make me do it, yeah, I'll be Latimer.

I guess.

He's the guy who's kicking the bar when he's after he cleans, he kicks the bar.

Yeah, he's a great character.

Yeah, you could nail it.

I think you could nail it.

Certainly he looked that way.

Glenn, okay.

Well, good luck on everything.

Thank you so much for taking the time to chit-chat with us.

Congrats on Chad Powers not being corny.

Okay?

That's good.

It's awesome.

I promise it's awesome.

All right, I'm watching tomorrow.

It just pops up tomorrow on Hulu.

I just go to Hulu, it'll be there.

Just turn it on.

First two episodes there tomorrow.

How many episodes in total?

Six episodes in total, week by week.

That's nice.

Every Tuesday.

Talking an hour, 45 minutes, 47 minutes, 40 minutes.

30 minutes.

37.

Like 30 to 40 minutes each episode.

Oh, nice.

It's a floating number, though.

We got to tell a story.

Is that right?

Yeah, yeah,

Whatever time to tell the best story, but every episode is a banger.

It's great.

Okay.

We trust you.

We appreciate you.

Ladies and gentlemen, a super ugly Chad Powers and an incredibly handsome Glenn Powell.

Thank you, Glenn.

And you look super cool there.

Where are you?

Is that your room, your office?

I'm at the ESPN headquarters right now.

Really?

There's a lot of fans of us up there.

Tell them we said hello, Glenn.

All right, I'll let them know.

Thank you.

You're a good man, ladies and gentlemen.

Glenn Paul.

That's going to be good.

Oh, yeah.

I was scared to death to watch that trailer.

Yeah.

Peyton.

It's really hard to make something

football look good.

Really?

Agreed.

Especially if a guy's not a football player playing football.

There's an opportunity to just immediately go, nope,

not doing that.

And I was very worried.

I had heard about this concept months and months, maybe a year ago or whatever.

And my first thought is just like, please, God, no, please don't do it.

And then as soon as I see the trailer, I'm like, okay, it seems like they at least tried.

Who's the best actor, quarterback?

You got got Willie James,

Jamie Fox, Willie Reeves, Keanu Reeves, Shane Falco.

Oh, Falco was damned.

Scott Bakula.

Johnny, Utah.

I mean, you can't just.

It's a good point.

Keanu Reeves got two bowl games.

Sunshine, not bad.

Sunshine, not bad.

Johnny Bad.

Great movie.

Good leadership.

Scott Bakula, unnecessary roughness.

James Vanderby.

Let's not forget about Icebox.

She's so good.

Big Mike.

Yeah.

Blindside.

He didn't play quarterback.

Oh, sorry.

I'm just starting to think football players now tell me.

Blindside was a great movie.

Should have played quarterback.

Thought about it.

They might have won the Day James.

Yeah, you never know.

Speaking of being a big guy, playing wide receiver, what was that throwing the ball to Proctor?

That was awesome.

That was what it was.

AJ, what do you do there?

I mean, he's out on a DB.

I think it was a safety he was on out there.

I liked it.

Grubb, DeBoer, seemingly in their bag.

33 straight home wins for Georgia.

That place was tough to play.

That is a dogfight, actually, and physically.

And for this Alabama team to go in there and get a win, and then for this to be a part of their offense, do it every play, do it every play until they're going to stop it.

Obviously, we're heading down there for Alabama Vandi.

I don't think anybody could have expected Vandi, Alabama potentially being a game day game, but we were incredibly pumped to go up there.

I believe Florida State Miami was certainly on the table to be the one.

Lose to Virginia in prime time.

Thanks, Florida State.

I think it's tough.

I think it's a tough decision.

I don't make the decision, but I think that was a tough one to like set a precedent.

Like you just,

it's a big game.

It obviously matters.

Just lost to Virginia, that entire thing.

So maybe get back down there later.

But I'm pumped that Vandi's getting a game day game.

Oh, he's like, first of all, the fact that Game Day game is a thing.

is crazy to be a part of.

Just would like to let that be known, that that is a very cool thing.

But Vandi in Diego earning it, and then Alabama from how it started to where they are now this season, it's a great story.

It's a great game, and it should be electrifying now.

It's awesome because Vandi did what they did last year, and then I still think their, I want to say their over-under was either four and a half or five and a half wins for this year, which they've basically already done.

And then Bama, you talked about Caden Proctor.

Bruce Feldman, he does a freaks list every year.

You guys talked about Kenny Sadiq this weekend.

He was number 11 on it.

Proctor was number two behind Jeremiah Smith.

He's just, so like when I saw this happen, you're kind of surprised, but then you're like, oh, this is the most freaky, freaky athlete in all of college football almost.

So them doing that with him, not a surprise.

He probably could, he's like, what?

He's like Penne Seoul, like as far as athleticism is.

So naturally, guys.

That's what I'm saying.

He looks so smooth, just catching, like, just catching the ball.

That whole process of catching and turning up.

And we see receivers and running backs and tight ends do it all the time, but to see a dude this big, just like, yep, no thought about it.

Ball outside hand, big ass elbow brace, looking like JJ Watt, Gronk.

How much you weigh?

340?

Yeah.

Listed at 340?

Ah, 3345.

Okay, get the number.

He's a three.

He's huge.

He's three seven.

He was warming up first game, had a phone in his hand.

Everybody's like, this guy's guy's not taking it serious and it's like

can you give me the ball a little bit people think i'm not there go ahead he's listed uh 67366 with an 800 815 pounds squat

and he can catch anything fall and get up smooth just no problem at all crazy say say his dims again 67366 originally committed to iowa then bama back to iowa transfer to iowa and then before the season started went back to alabama oh i remember him yeah he'd be our best skill player

Like by far.

He would get 30 carries a game if he went to Iowa.

So maybe

something to think?

Yeah, right.

You guys would never do that.

Give him 30 carries a game?

We sure would.

You had Coop on the team, and you wouldn't give him the damn ball, and you guys were averaging, what, four yards a game?

Well, offensively.

Actually, we started putting Coop on offense, and he broke his foot during practice and kind of missed the Big Ten championship in the rest of the season.

So that backfired a bit.

Proctor, it won't.

No, it wouldn't.

It wouldn't.

Look at that that fucking guy.

Let him play quarterback.

Should.

Yeah.

If Grub's going to start using him like that, I love that.

We had a great weekend of ball.

The Bills did not cover against the Saints.

Don't love that.

A little bit of a dogfight.

Damn it.

Rattler.

A little bit of a ball.

Yeah.

A little bit of a player out of Rattler.

Never wins, but he plays ball.

Kelly Moe, yeah.

I think his record is the worst in the history of ball, but Rattler plays.

And the Bills get a huge win.

Obviously, Shakir is going to do his thing.

Josh Allen's going to do his thing.

They don't cover, though.

It was a huge number.

14 and a half is a very very large spread obviously but uh

the saints i think everybody that's insane that's a great pick by the way

love everything about that and that's basically the saints in a nutshell anybody else runs this it's a touchdown instead 6b comes flying over and does it that's the year for the saints yeah that's just what the saints are going to have buffalo bills get another win we have to talk about them and that that leads to One of my things we didn't get to at the first 15.

Debut, there's a couple things that we missed in that first 15.

One of them is the Bill is really good.

That is for sure right now.

For sure, we got two undefeated teams left now.

Obviously, we start with 32, then 16 are undefeated after week one, and now we are only down to two with being the Eagles and the Bills.

But yeah, you talked about not covering, but you know what it is.

Week in and week out, it's all about winning the game, doing whatever it takes to win the game.

That's what Josh Allen and even his defense making big-time timely plays have been doing all season long in this early part of the season to move to 4-0.

And the same with the Eagles game.

We talked about the Bucks game earlier.

They were going back and forth.

Baker Mayfield made it a fight.

Jalen Hurts, Kevin Petullo, talked some shit about him.

Patullo was on it.

What was it?

Kevin U Blow or some shit like that.

Yeah, and he came out fired.

They were electric early.

We were wondering if that was BS or no, BS.

We have been seeing it all.

It was BS because they started.

We talked about being efficient in the rare area.

They had pretty much three walk-in touchdowns.

One right here.

Then we had the flip play, and then we had to basically sweep to Saquon on the fake uh tush push so petulo dialed it up early now second half didn't complete a pass according to the stats that we saw that's tough i checked it it's we saw aj brown and his frustration now we know he is an avid reader so maybe he just randomly posted a quote

so that was that was you know that was big time it's something to keep an eye on definitely so he got two undefeated teams left uh maybe maybe two teams we see in the super bowl late but uh something we don't see often on the national football league we almost had two coaches coaches come to blows.

Oh, yes.

Yeah, we talk about Liam Cohen and Robert Salah, former head coach, now back, defensive coordinator.

He made some comments earlier in the week about, you know, Liam Cohen and their sophisticated legal sign stealing.

And Liam, he wasn't about it.

And Salah tried to shake his hand, walk right past him.

If you go back to the beginning of this clip, basically walk right past him, like, nah, I'm not shaking hand.

I'm straight, buddy.

Then turned around once you got a couple people in between him and old Robert.

Hey, get your name out of the mouth.

I'm not saying we get a ton of tape here.

We've seen Robert, we've seen him golf, and we know he is Jack, but you know, Liam's not, you know, he ain't no

little bitch walking around here.

He said it with his chest: 6'1, 223, former quarterback.

And then we got solid 6'4, 250.

I don't know why we put the record down there in the bottom.

Solid 250.

That's uncalled for.

But yeah, they almost came to blows.

But more importantly, the Jacksonville Jaguars got another win, moving to 3-1 on the season.

It was offense, defense, special teams, complimentary football.

Travis Etienne, he has exploded earlier in this season.

Parker Washington had a huge punt return.

And then Devin Lloyd had an unbelievable game.

Probably would be the AFC defensive player of the week with two interceptions, a sack.

But this is Parker Washington's 87-yard punt return.

Anytime you get a touchdown in this third phase of football, you're playing winning football.

And that's what the Jaguars, the Jacksonville Jaguars, are doing.

And Thomas Moore said one 20 miles an hour there.

Okay,

39-year-old opponent won 20 miles an hour.

Now, his net is ruined for the rest of the season, but he did go 20 miles an hour.

So, hamstrings at 39 years of age can still do that, which is great.

We're wrapping up here on ESPN.

We'll continue digitally with overreactions from around the internet.

Sent out a bird call, said, Hey, I want to hear how the NFL fandom, how you feel out there with your teams.

And all you have to do is the hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

Go through all those, cover all the storylines we haven't hit as much.

And AJ Hawk will tell us how he's seeing the board so much better than me.

I went two and 12 this week in NFL pitch.

Eight and two in college.

There you go.

There you go.

So maybe you lose one sense, you gain another, folks.

We'll continue this thing digitally.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Be a friend, tell a friend, something nice.

It might change your life.

Goodbye.

Okay, double Monday Night Football.

Should have hit that one more time here at the end.

But AJ, two games night to pick.

I want two and 12, dude.

And I waffled on a lot of them and I was on the wrong side every time I waffled.

You want six and seven.

Obviously, you can get above 500 with two games tonight.

I can just try to get to four and 12 in this entire thing.

College, I feel like I'm really, I got a good grasp of what's going on.

See it.

If Penn State would have won that one, I mean, and if Georgia would take care of Pennsylvania at home, I mean, there's

been a perfect day.

There was actually people betting on it.

I think Foxy and D-Bound were running my game day picks parlay.

10-game money line parlay.

It was an absolute joy to ride you through 12 to 3 o'clock to 7 o'clock.

Ride my picks.

Ride my picks.

Thank you.

Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa.

He's riding my picks.

Rod Winbrey on my Holy shit.

Sorry though, Foxy.

Back to what you were saying before these children interrupted.

To ride your picks, yes.

Thank you very much.

But yeah, heartbreakers at the end there.

We

had a lot of money.

Perfect that Intel was Nike.

Bingo, yeah.

And I knew.

Was there a cash out?

There was.

It wasn't good enough, though.

So I wasn't going to do it.

It would have been awesome just to go 10 for 10.

Yeah.

What were the odds?

Do you remember what the odds were?

Five to win, 500 bucks is what I saw right away.

Plus 10,000.

Also, Georgia let you down because they've won 33 in a row at home, so that's not your fault.

Football, God say, don't this.

But I mean, what's Bama's record versus Georgia?

It's like 10.

One and eight or something like that.

It's Kirby versus one and seven or something like that, Kirby's versus Alabama.

And he said, what's everybody else's record?

Jesus Christ, the guy's the goat was there.

Fucking get off my ass.

A lot of people losing to that guy.

Okay?

Fuck.

I guess it's basically what Kirby said.

I guess it's not De Bova anymore.

It's not De Bova.

It's still De Bear, De Goat, and De Boer

down there in Tuscaloosa.

Team Town.

Can't wait to get down there with Nick Sabin being a part of the show.

Obviously, we did that last year, but even more so now.

He's real comfy.

Sabin is real comfortable.

He's a good spot putting on that lion

over thingy.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

What is the...

The lion skin.

Yeah, but I don't know if you put on lion skin.

What are those things that were big blankets that had sleeves on them?

Snuggy.

Yeah.

Snuggy.

It had a snuggy.

kind of feel to it.

They put that thing on with the hood.

Am I putting this on?

Yeah.

If you want to.

I think it was a gift.

I think I should, right?

Absolutely.

All right.

Somebody needs to fucking help me put this thing on.

Got fucking ears in his face.

He's awesome, dude.

Coach Saban is awesome.

Had some Air Maxes on.

Clean.

He was crushing it in the all-whites.

I don't know if everybody's pumped in mind was different than everybody else's, but I don't think,

I don't think, did they know that they were all wearing the exact same suit?

Because I did not know everybody was wearing the exact same suit.

So I should have downloaded him a research.

Immediately said, no, thank you.

My guy can do it.

I immediately, immediately, I was like, I got a guy.

Thanks.

David Allen got me.

Thanks.

No, thanks.

Don't need it.

100% on me.

Should have read that off wing.

More importantly, though.

We're done with the kicks, right?

Like, it's been fun.

The kicks have been fun, but we're done, right?

Yeah, a little bit of a hustle this weekend.

I don't like the picking someone else gimmick.

I don't mind the picking someone else gimmick.

Now, if this kid was here, so if that kid was at game day, Carson, who did the professional kicker?

He's actually a member of the women's soccer team man equipment manager crew.

So he does kick soccer balls literally every single day.

Sure.

Okay.

So he is probably an incredible soccer player from my school.

And the fact that William picked him, good play.

Yeah.

Fair play.

But if he wasn't there, I don't think, like if he was with it or in the area, we're going to add a clause, I think.

Have to make your decision in 30 seconds.

Okay.

Can't leave.

Like if he went and got this guy, imagine if he won, goes to the women's soccer team or the men's soccer team.

You got anybody around here?

Yeah, we got a hundred thousand dollar opportunity

and then finds this guy and brings him back.

First of all, genius, but going forward, can't have it happen again.

Okay, can't have it happen again.

That's an easy thing on campuses.

So, I think we still need to reward the people that get out there in the pit and do their thing, but we are going to add some clauses.

Have to, because he was so smooth.

And this kid should think about picking it up.

Yeah, he was very this is his leg swing straight up and through it, and he only took like two steps, steps really did a couple little quick jab steps but at the end it was just boom boom that was a two-stepper his plant foot was perfect went through it very well he might want to think about brandon aubrey yeah okay and i'm not saying his sound was anything like what brandon aubrey's probably sounding like but brandon aubrey didn't just start now he's two years of training before this gets you think about it that was a good ball great

pressure moment too i mean that's a lot of people yeah 150k on the line yeah like for for hopefully new best friend too william Both of them are in finance.

We'll be excited to see what they choose to do with this.

I was wondering, do you think they went out together like for the rest of the day?

I hope so, but I also hope they potentially do something with the money together.

Oh, I do.

That would make some.

Let's take $200,000 of this and let's do some shit with it.

We'll take the original $100,000.

We'll split it at $50,000 each.

That's enough, right?

Yeah, let's move along.

Let's take this $200,000 and try to do some financing with it.

There's a chance a really good story comes out of these.

Well, luckily for them, if they're not on scholarship, they can pay for three years of their school.

Penn State is extremely.

Penn State's got a good school upper.

Got a lot of people going to school there.

That's right.

A lot of very wealthy people end up going to school there.

A lot of executives, a lot of CEOs.

$700 million renovation.

Crazy.

But I need a,

I don't know, I didn't ask the exact number, but to build new platforms to put on new bleachers while you're doing the renovation.

That's probably another

whatever that is.

It's phenomenal.

96,000 season tickets.

So they had to,

we can't lose sections here while we're doing renovation.

We actually got to add on here.

It's crazy to think about, AJ.

Crazy.

That place was crazy 15, 20 years ago.

So yeah, the fact that they're continuing to add on to it and make it better, yes.

I don't know.

I mean, they're going to win one of those eventually, aren't they?

One of those monster games.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, sure, they will.

But for

Oregon, though, at this point in the season, to go into that type of environment and get a win like that, like that type of shit, because every year it's a new team.

You obviously have a great coach there but every year it's a new team the type of confidence you have because wherever you let's say they got to go on the road somewhere during the playoffs and play in a tough atmosphere going in that building and winning if there's no place you you're afraid of going into knowing that your team is going to show up and make big time plays in high pressure situations too a lot of people are attacking james franklin it's like

oh I guess you could.

I don't know.

I don't know if it was his fault, but I guess you could.

A lot of people attacking Drew Aller, obviously, because of that, but also also they're only there because it's like college football personified here.

It's a good game.

We hate, who do we hate?

We hate.

Somebody's got to do it.

Well, this guy loses again.

Fuck this guy.

Fire James Franklin.

And then all of a sudden you think to yourself, like.

Still everything in front of you.

This is just like when Ohio State loses, you know, Ohio State loses to Oregon and Oregon.

Everything is still in front of you.

I'm not saying that Penn State's going to be able to do the Ohio State run from last year because obviously that team was special and they were fun to watch.

But still, everything is in front of Penn State still at this point.

In their eyes, I assume we should have won this game.

Like, this is a game we definitely should have won.

So, good outcome, I think, for Saturday night.

It's all perspective because five years ago, you lose that game, your season's over.

Like, you're not going to the Big Ten championship.

There is no playoff for you to get in.

So, it's like, you're right.

You know, you can be pissed about that, but that's a great team.

They'll be in the playoffs.

So, now it's like, hey, we can still win this thing.

I mean, you just saw a team in your own conference.

Now, I'm not saying I saw that.

He's not going to take that.

He's not going to be able to do Penn State?

Yeah.

No.

Yeah,

I don't think so either.

They lost to Ohio State in the same exact situation last year, and then made it to the semis.

So

want to play away.

All right, let's get to a break.

We'll be back on the other side.

We'll make our picks.

We'll go through over reactions.

It's going to be electrifying.

We appreciate you for allowing us to do this.

You scared of Penn State over there at Ohio State?

No, I have a healthy respect for what Penn State does, though, for sure.

They're all in.

I love what they're doing.

I love that part about it.

All in.

They got studs all over the field, offense, defense, special teams.

They got to play.

Why do they lose?

I mean, it was a good game.

No one lost it.

Oregon won that thing.

I don't think the team lost it.

They stole that.

I think Oregon stole that.

That's why I said stole it.

And a lot of Oregon people were like, we won the whole game.

It's like, yeah, but at the very end, you stole that.

And you stole the entire energy and soul from an entire city.

I mean, like that.

Yeah, first play.

Double over.

First play in our second.

Because fans are thinking, all right, all we need is two-point.

We're going to score a touchdown for sure.

They haven't been able to stop us.

And then we get a two-point conversion.

Kodo Nikki's got something.

We're winning this fucking game.

We never win this game.

We're going to win this game.

We never win this game.

We're going to win this game.

And then first snap, boom.

What the fuck?

We knew we were going to lose this game.

Why do we even think that?

Like, that is...

Yeah.

That's costing.

Why'd you let yourself go there?

You can't let yourself go there.

Think we won this game, yeah.

He still had six more points than us, and we just thought two-point conversion mattered.

Oh, good play, man.

There were some throws he made, man.

Like, that deep crosser or post-route he threw to five.

It was like he showed the flash, but then first and ten for you to kind of force this ball.

First and ten, just throw it away.

Lineup, second and ten.

Check down down wide open.

That's so actually.

I only got so many guys running in the same spot.

Yeah, yeah, it's three.

It's decisions.

I got a lot of questions.

Yeah, for sure.

I learned from it.

Congrats to him.

Toxic Cables here after a big win and a tie at Boston Conner and at Ty Schmidt.

Maybe Maybe change it to Ty Schmidt, T-I-E-Schmidt.

You know what?

I only saw that about 150,000 times this morning, so maybe I will.

Maybe I will.

That's not a bad idea.

Oh, that's a fun little game.

Yeah, it is.

That is hilarious.

It is kind of clever.

And on a complete opposite side, there's no tying up there in New England.

Oh, my God.

The only thing we're tying is maybe our latches to the bandwagon of Drake May.

This guy might be a real guy.

They're saying records and stats are amongst the goats in the time con man.

Oh, yeah.

I think the only thing tying is probably, you know, waistbands because you got to tuck your boners in them because everyone's so pumped about it up in New England.

I'll be honest, I personally do truly believe that they might be a playoff team now, especially when you look at who the Steelers are.

All of a sudden, the Steelers are a much better team than you think about.

And New England, you could argue five turnovers and they still lose, but they'll feel very good about Drake.

A lot of tucking going on up there in New England out of excitement for what the future could be.

And he's doing Cam Newton's Superman stuff.

Love that.

I love everything about it.

And let's let's go to one half of the hammer.

Cowboys AP Tone.

Pittsburgh Steelers pick up a big one in the Emerald Isle, the beautiful Dublin, Ireland.

Tone, your team winning the Super Bowl this year?

Yes, definitely.

Everyone

counted us out because we created five turnovers.

The turnovers are all luck.

They're not a big deal.

What's that, AJ?

Including Diggs.

Diggs was really down the dumpster.

Sorry for the show.

Show to Friday's show.

Pat said, are you going to win?

I said, yes, no doubt.

Yeah, but he said it with doubt.

No, there was no doubt about this one.

I said I was very confident in this one.

Okay, so you like them in Ireland?

You like them against the Vikings?

You like them against Carson Wentz, who certainly gave us the experience, AJ.

I don't know if you got a chance to watch it

live Sunday morning.

You could really see the light switch just kind of hit for the Carson Wentz experience.

And as it started rolling, I literally put a tweet up because I'd seen this movie before.

Hey, everybody needs, stop what you're doing.

The Carson Wentz experience has started.

in Ireland.

And it certainly did, AJ.

Juicy, there was two dudes that got flipped on one play at one point.

Obviously, he's evading rushers and he's sidearming it right to Justin Jefferson, who slips a little bit but thought he was going to score a touchdown.

And then obviously there's a moment where, hey, you just throw that thing away.

It's a gain of zero.

Loss is here.

You lose three to the running back trying to make a play happen.

Let's huck this thing to the corner.

Let God take control.

Almost a pick.

I mean, that's Carson Wentz football right there.

And then this one is special.

You know, because there's two flips of defensive players and the ball ends up gone.

And where's it at?

This is Carson Wentz football.

This is literally Carson Wentz football.

He needs to be a part of the first game in every new country.

I don't know who's playing in Australia.

They need Carson Wentz to be one of the starters so that they get a chance to experience this.

I saw this for a year with the Colts.

It is spectacular.

Like when that's happening, he's leading a comeback.

I thought, yes, Carson Wentz could lead a comeback in seven minutes and 50 seconds, let alone all the decisions that were made by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This one, 37 seconds left, first and 10.

Obviously, we've got no timeouts.

We we need to get rid of it.

Fuck it, intentional ground, and ball's going to hit the ground.

I mean, it's Carson Wentz's experience.

It's exactly what you sign up for.

But now, in his first week in the Kevin O'Connell offense, it was just Carson Wentz.

Ireland, he just got excited, I think.

Yeah.

Fuck it.

We're losing.

We're home.

This ain't working.

Let me do some dance.

Let me do some of my shit.

And it was electrifying.

And in all of that, Steelers get a win.

Debut.

Steelers won all in this offseason.

Yeah.

Paid a lot of people.

Jalen Ramsey's making plays.

DK Metcalf's making plays.

Aaron Rodgers is doing well.

Darius Slay's impact has been heightened because of injuries.

What are your thoughts on the moves they made in the offseason and how it's either coming to fruition or do they still have a long way to go?

I love all the moves they made in the offseason, and the moves were made kind of all in.

Like it's this year, maybe next year, but Aaron came into this season saying this is going to be his last season play.

You drafted Will Howard.

We'll see how he develops.

Hopefully, Scarlett Thompson's okay.

But

yeah, they're all in it.

The pieces are working.

John New Smith not getting as involved.

I think I saw you showed me the tight end snap counts.

I believe he had like 13 or 15 snap counts, which is kind of surprising because he is a weapon in the past game.

But it always, always, always starts with the quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers is playing high-level football.

So if they take care of the football and continue to take it away on the defensive side of the ball and they can hold their weight in the special teams element, shit, they can win this damn division.

Definitely win the division, especially right now.

You start looking around in Cleveland.

You know, people could be say he they could be problematic if they figure out the quarterback position, which is a big if.

Huge.

But DK Metcalf running

wild in Ireland is certainly what everybody envisioned whenever they decided to pay him 30 million a year before ever doing a don for the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is out of control.

Running back had a huge game.

Kenneth Gainwell was everywhere for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yeah, and he was always good for Philly.

It was just when he got drafted there, Miles Sanders was a thousand-yard rusher in that offense.

Then they get Saquon.

And so Kenneth Gainwell is just kind of that third down back.

And now, I mean, was this his first true, like, full, hey, you're the guy?

And you end up with, you know, 90 yards and two touchdowns.

It's unbelievable.

He actually led them in carries in week one, which people were surprised about.

And then Jalen Warren has gone off the last couple.

He's been really good the last couple weeks.

And then Jalen Warren had a knee thing pop up earlier in the week.

So this was Kenny Gainwell's game, and he took advantage of it for sure.

Yeah.

That was awesome.

Yeah, I felt really good.

That was awesome.

I was watching the game, and it just kept just moving.

Like every time he got the ball, something positive happened.

He also lands on his face a lot it does have you guys noticed that yeah yeah like like his full helmet the first thing to hit the ground yeah he takes a lot of headers yeah falling forward forward always falling forward but like the most part he hit his face off the ground a lot and there's a lot of the grass yeah off of the helmet cam hayward had one at one point because and the new helmets have like rogers had uh the grass like inside the top hard to get out yeah and possibly i think you need to get like a little stick maybe you know like yeah back in the day i don't know if they have those on the field i um

i was just you guys said rogers and helmet before that slant did everyone see him hit the smelling salts like right does he always hit it before every play aj do you know that or uh i don't know maybe before every drive i don't i don't know if he has like a superstition but no they're definitely being used a lot i know that bring your own smelling salts right that's where we're at right now yep somebody had to be us over to ireland yes unless those are some special ireland ones oh wow

which we haven't even thought about like the sigs Did you hear about Friday night down there with Skylar?

I mean, things are going to happen in Ireland.

You made it the game time, though, obviously.

How many players?

What were some of the stats and factoids that McQuaid sent over?

Obviously, McQuidd, oh, yeah, from Pro Football Ireland, him and the boys, Connor, I believe, and

Derek Carriger.

Bingo boys have done a great job drumming up interest for the NFL in Ireland.

They literally boots on the ground.

They sent over some stats, I think, people need to hear.

This is directly from McQuidd's mouth.

Yeah, we had 74,000 fans over there, lads.

74,000

fans at Croke Park, which obviously was just an Oasis concert, you know, not too long ago, and they obviously flipped it to a football field.

This one seems a little out of left field, but it is the largest movement of people from the US to Europe since the Allies came over and beat the absolute piss out of the Axis powers, obviously, you know, the Nazis and then, you know, the

Japanese Empire and, you know, even Mussolini, obviously those guys, that's the Axis powers.

So that's the largest movement of people from the U.S.

to Europe since those times.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, though.

So we obviously read these.

He texted them over.

McQuade texted him over immediately as soon as we asked some questions.

Hey, Connor sent a text.

Hey, we need some stats about everything.

If you can give us some numbers, he sent all these.

On it, Lad.

Connor, exactly, and he was.

Copy paste.

He probably sent these out before.

He was excited that somebody was going to get them.

He's re-watching the game, by the way.

Yeah, he's crying.

What do you say?

Yeah, he said he was crying.

On my first rewatch right now, and I'm just, I'm an absolute newbass.

Buckets over here, lad.

It's only going to continue, McQuade.

It's still great.

But the stat about the largest migration of humans from the united states to europe since the wartime is how he worded it correct was a hilarious thing for us to just start double questioning because i guess you know london games they all said all the people came from germany right you know what everybody was saying yeah yeah like hey everybody's kind of coming from germany even london's filling up for ireland i assume they were able to track flights and how many people were coming into the country because i don't think indianapolis has a flight to ireland yeah they just started it like a year ago around this time.

It was after we got back.

So I assume they were able to track flights and how many people, and for them to put that stat out, it's like, hey,

that's a great stat.

That's a huge deal.

Since the wartime?

Anytime you can say since the wartime on a stat, I think you go ahead and let that one fly.

That's McQuade football.

What were some other ones he said in there?

Yeah, I'm sure you all remember, lads, when

you guys were just talking about it a little bit ago.

TJ Watt had the interception, you know, maybe baiting Carson Wentz into throwing it down the middle of the field.

He punted the ball into the stance.

That was actually an ode to Gaelic football.

I thought he was just punting it because he...

For fun.

Isn't that kind of his thing?

He does the kick.

I have noticed that, lads, that he's actually done that many times before, but in this particular situation in Croke Part,

it was actually an ode to the Gaelic football team.

Were they having Guinness?

I saw some guys have Guinness.

A lot of the boys, yeah, I actually personally brought over about 15 to 16 crates of Guinness.

The lads were splitting the Gs in the locker room all game long even coach dumlin he was he was splitting the g outside you know coach dumlin yeah wow he was splitting the g with the media outside so just unbelievable again i do want to get this out there because it's not just you know vikings lad it's not just steelers lad like we have a lot of nfl fans over here in dublin 22 different nfl teams jerseys were in the stands who counted that i do counted you calling the game for sky sports lad 4 000 people you just just sprinkle it in there you know maybe we're in the third third quarter and I just say 14

and then maybe four minutes pass 15 oh so he was individually actively what if he counted the same person twice that didn't happen McQuade wouldn't do something like that he's obviously the man of utmost character and trust so he'd make sure that that stat was correct especially if he was going to send it to you know other media outlets lad

Bruce couldn't wait to fact check this.

Bruce searched approximately 136,000 Americans.

Oh, my God.

This is embarrassing.

McQuay was full of shit.

There's no way that that's the most Americans that have gone over there since the war time.

I don't know.

Without a doubt, lad, because if you remember when that piece of info was actually sent to all of us, we immediately all said, that's bullshit, McQuay.

There's no way that that's accurate.

We're trying to put over the island, obviously.

We're trying to put over the Isle of Ireland.

So we ran with it.

Why not?

Any other stats that you sent over?

Yeah,

we showed it a little bit ago um the 80-yard touchdown for dk metcalf longest touchdown scored in all of the nfl ireland slash europe games so obviously you know we we've again you know we're trying to grow the game over here on the island uh very special time for for mcquid for all irish football fans and um i think it was a big success i mean you the proof's in the pudding that's the largest movement of people from the u.s to europe no since wartimes no but we just saw that maybe not though yeah but you know i mean AI will tell you anything these days, Lad.

You're going to believe that?

Are you going to believe an upstanding guy like McQuaid?

McQuaid's never steered me wrong.

No, ever.

And AI is probably not updated.

They don't have those numbers yet.

Yeah, it's probably 136,001 traveled over there for the Dublin NFL game.

You tell me, Lad.

I don't know.

Early ARI reports are saying 30,000.

Oh, Bruce.

Bruce couldn't wait.

When I saw this out, I wasn't with everybody, and I was flabbergasted by it.

And then you said that can't be real, like we all did.

And then you actually said, Nope.

Three months ago, who told him that?

Who told him that?

And McQuaid was just like, oh my god, Lot.

Yeah, started crying immediately.

That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, Lot.

Throw football does it.

Yeah, exactly.

That's why I think all these, all these different bullshit.

I'm what?

The 22 jerseys.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

Come on, bro.

No, knowing McQuaid, that one's ironclad.

He made sure that one is for real.

How many of them are ironclad?

Well, I think you could probably.

74,000 fans, I believe, is what was reported at Croak Park, you know, obviously bigger than even when Oasis, you know, on their comeback tour just a couple weeks ago.

So, you know, football on the aisle, obviously, is a big deal.

I would say, you know, now that we're talking about it a little bit more, lads,

the inner TJ kicking the ball into the crowd, that may not have been a nod to Gaelic football.

It's possible that TJ just really likes doing that.

And he kind of thought, you know, it was not.

Okay.

I'm guessing the 80-yard DK Metcalf one, I'm guessing that looks pretty ironclad as well.

But the other ones, you know,

more of McQuaidisms, maybe, if you will, than, you know, ironclad facts.

But

when did McQuaid ever say?

He's like an Ireland clad at all.

Exactly.

That's a good way to phrase it.

These are more Ireland clad than ironclad.

Balls.ie on Twitter.

It's Ireland's favorite sports website.

Did say it was an old to Gaelic football.

Okay.

All right.

We appreciate you, McQueen.

Hell yeah.

Did TJ ever say it?

He didn't have to.

Who cares?

What do you mean?

That's the question.

Great question, JJ.

I don't know.

That's all that matters.

When he was drinking beers with McQuaid in the locker room afterwards, I think he was like, that was for you.

That was for you, McQuaid.

And all Gaelic football players out there.

Is that?

He calls McQuaid or TJ?

JJ.

Oh, okay.

I'm not calling it directly to Source.

Yeah, right.

Oh, shit.

Hey, we're live.

We're live.

We're live.

We're live.

Thank you for answering.

You look amazing.

Hey, did your brother pay tribute to Gaelic football with that punt, or is that just kind of what he does?

I have no idea.

I'd have to ask him.

Come on.

Will you do that, please?

Will you ask him?

Yeah.

All right, we'll wait.

Quite already did.

Yeah, can you FaceTime him in, please?

Yeah.

Yes.

I don't know how to FaceTime him in, but I'll FaceTime him within a FaceTime.

Yeah, that's.

All right.

We're going straight to the source.

Oh, he's got two phones.

I got two

phones.

One for me, one for a bro.

Got it.

One phone guy.

One phone guy.

Well, we're you're

text.

One.

That's right, Jage.

That's right.

I like that.

I appreciate that.

Oh, man.

What if he doesn't answer you right now?

Oh, no.

I mean, it's off day, and he's on Ireland time.

You're his brother.

And he doesn't want to talk to his old brother.

No, he's on winning time.

Okay.

Jeez.

That's Ireland, Claude.

Yeah.

Pretty good, Lot.

There were a lot of guinea flowing around yesterday.

Yes, we're going to have to save time.

All right, if you get the answer, we'll see you on Wednesday.

Goodbye.

I guess we got to call McQuaid now.

FaceTime.

Are you doing it?

Oh, I think McQuaid.

Yeah, McQuaid's got one of those weird, like, plus-one, nine, seven, eight, nine, four.

You know, he doesn't fucking live in the country, so he's got a lot of stuff.

Okay, and the longest touchdown in an NFL.

Oh, no, don't do it.

Dozen.

Do it.

And he's like, short.

Pine returned.

That wasn't from the line of scrimmage.

No, yeah.

That was a.

Bruce didn't actually.

Oh, no.

Bruce didn't get the no ball.

Bruce didn't shake McQuaid's hand in Ireland like we did.

He's a bit solid.

Look at how happy he is.

He's trying to bury McQuaid, is what he's trying to do.

He didn't see what McQuaid did when we were in Ireland.

McQuaid's trying to grow the game.

McQuaid's going to be the next fucking Ryder Cup captain.

I forgot that Bruce...

I forgot that Bruce hated McQuaid.

I didn't know that was even.

I love McQuaid.

Yeah, we all love McQuaid.

I don't know how Bruce could hate McQuaid.

Nobody hates McQuaid.

But even if some of these things aren't 100% real, still great.

Yeah, they're Ireland class.

Let's talk about the Ryder Cup.

We haven't talked about it yet.

Man, almost.

Okay, so I'm sick of that already.

Okay.

Tone tweeted it, and then he said it this morning out loud around other people.

And

I just didn't appreciate that that's where we're at.

You know, I didn't appreciate that we're at, hey, the boys fought hard.

Oh, was that like, I didn't, I sorry, I didn't pay.

Was it like a moral victory thing people were saying?

I was just saying it gave me something like I could, I could pop in and watch a little bit and say, oh, there's still hope.

I didn't say it was a moral victory anyway.

Okay, huge for us on Sunday to add in the Ryder Cup, certainly have it mean something because when we all went to bed on Saturday, we said, so we got a clean sweep on Sunday.

That's where we're at.

Okay.

And then the boys started going, wait a minute, hold the phone.

We might clean sweep this thing.

And inevitably, we don't.

Okay.

And then the conversation is at least the boys fought.

That's what some people are saying.

Some of us are also saying, how the hell do we go from one up?

to losing the entire thing to Shane Lowry in one hole.

Oh, it's because in the biggest moment, the lack of Moxie got us.

And we're in such a hole.

And I don't know if we knew that it was as big as the Europe team clearly thought.

I mean, the attention to detail on the uniform.

That's so cool.

The leader, like the way they were viewing this and talking about how the four stripes were because they've beaten America four times on the road before.

It's like that's how they were talking.

They were a team trying to win.

Tommy Fleetwood, we had him on the show.

He wouldn't even talk about the team.

He said, don't talk about the team.

Because we had a group text.

We're like, do you guys have a group text?

He's like, we've been fucking meeting for a year, brother.

Two.

Yeah, since the last one ended.

They've seemingly been putting it together in this entire thing.

They were much more serious about it and their putters were fucking on fire.

And that's the only thing that matters.

Who can make a putt?

Who can't make a putt?

And Europe definitely did that.

And it just looked like the boys were outmatched.

And we needed it for a country.

In tone, you were one of the guys that put out a positive spin on it.

Sure.

And I appreciate that because it is a special event.

So we should draw from the positive as opposed to anything negative.

But we got it in such a big hole.

Nobody thought we had a chance going into Sunday that can't be the way it is in America no I it wasn't it wasn't a moral victory thing for me it was a where so many he took that thing for a stroll just fuck yeah six feet he started walking

yeah and they all did so on the greens they gained uh eight strokes which is basically 16 total strokes like they were plus 16 on us as far as putting is concerned we actually had six of the top nine guys from T2 green it was it was they were just just couldn't miss a putt but my thing thing was, in this day and age, athletes don't give a shit about their country and playing for the country.

And it looked like they did care on Sunday.

So that made me happy.

We need that for the first couple of days.

I think we have some breaking news here, JJ.

I'm talking to him.

Yeah, I'm on.

You're not on.

Teach, we're live, though.

Huh?

It was not a Galen kick.

Oh, no, McQuinn.

Shocker.

He was trying to get the ball to the stands because it was so far away.

Don't lie.

Did it make it?

Did it make it?

Did it make it?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

All right.

Thank you, animals.

We appreciate you.

Great game, TJ.

Excellent.

How many of these stats?

You just absolutely fucking killed McQuaid.

Great game, TJ.

So he lied about everything, every single time.

I'm starting to think that the 74,000 fans in Croke Park might even be a fucking bit of hooey as well.

If it is, I respect them.

He just sent them all over.

Me too.

That's awesome.

Hey, fair play, McQuaid.

There was that Aaron Rodgers, when he went like this when DK Metcalf was going, he actually was holding two cups of getting two pots of penis up in the air.

The 22 jerseys is definitely not correct.

Definitely not.

He might have been.

Maybe he met 32.

Yeah, I would assume every team is broke.

Oh, God.

DJ.

No, yeah, I just saw the stance pretty far.

I thought I could maybe get it there.

He's at Gaelic what?

Or actually massive breaking news.

I went on X to see if McQuaid was going to said anything in response, but Matabike just got ruled out for the season.

Oh my God.

Ravens D-tackle.

I believe last week, John Harbaugh came out and said he's very concerned about the Matabike.

Matabike, I forget, I apologize if I'm pronouncing it wrong.

His health and what the season looks like.

And now he has been ruled out for the season due to a neck injury.

Namdi, this sucks, man.

We are so sorry you're going through this.

Obviously, the Baltimore Baltimore Ravens defense misses him.

He's a stud.

And anytime you have a neck, spine, brain stuff, and they rule it out for season, immediately very alarmed.

We hope he's okay, AJ.

Yeah, anything with a neck is always very, very scary.

I mean, he just, this dude means so much to the defense.

Their defense has been killed by injuries, man.

Like, they've had so many people hurting it.

A big dude like this in the middle, I know we've shown on the show, like, the stats of when he's in compared to when he is not in, and how much better they are with him.

It's, yeah, this is brutal for them.

That sucks.

The whole defense is affected by it.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, that's the football side of when you start talking, you know, neck injury as players, you automatically put in the question if you ever play again, because now it starts to potentially impact quality of life, you know, off the field, you know, with your family, kids, whatever it may be.

So that's terrible, terrible news for him, man.

You know, Godspeed on him, Hilly.

Godspeed, Namdi.

We apologize that that happened to you, brother.

That's no fun at all.

All right, let's get to some overreactions from around the NFL, shall we?

Some Some overreactions, maybe out of Ireland.

Well, you know,

74,000 was correct.

Well done, McQuaid.

Thank you, McQuaid.

Well done.

McQueen was the one that wrote that number.

No, the NFL tweeted out.

Okay.

Once again, McQuaid was the one.

He counted every head.

Yeah, we appreciate McQuaid, though.

What a legend.

Good for him.

That stinks about the Gaelic football.

I know.

Teesh.

I do appreciate that he just went with it, though.

Yeah.

Oh, that must have been.

You see that lad?

Gaelic football.

He just did it.

Tees did it.

Such a bummer.

Every sack he kicked.

Oh, he didn't list that for a second.

Relate shit for a second.

You've seen TJ Jewett plenty of times.

Gaelic football.

He loves Gaelic football.

He had a

different stroke pause.

Yeah.

I love that for McQuade, though.

Me too.

McQuade, we love you.

And keep doing this if it's going to get more games in Dublin.

We put out a bird call this morning saying, hey, we'd like to hear how you feel about how your teams are performing this NFL season.

All you got to do is tweet back using the hashtag.

Hashtag I don't want to overreact.

Became a number two overall trend.

Couldn't surpass Babani for good reason.

That's why he's the halftime performer.

Chambea.

Put up.

Could be doing a lot of that at halftime.

Chambeau.

Bad up.

Does he make collabs with other people from over here?

Yeah, a bunch of other people.

Bieber, right?

He's got songs for everybody, bro.

He's a fucking hitmaker.

He's good.

He's going to bring them all out.

They're all going to pop in.

No, they're all going to sing Spanish, though.

I think it's all Spanish.

No.

What I would like him to do is not...

We don't need to lip-dub into English his songs, but I think he only makes hits.

If he could do one or two songs speaking English, I think we'd all be pumped up about it.

Without a doubt.

I mean, Deba had a really good idea.

What?

I don't want to hear that.

It's like Michael Jackson going on tour and singing in Spanish when he goes to a Spanish country.

I don't know.

I like all Spanish, like

Despacito, Gasolino.

I mean, there's a lot of great

stuff.

D-Bud had a good idea for me.

What's that?

Is that Bad Bud?

I think it's English in it.

No, neither are, but I'm just saying, there's a lot of really...

Atre Vito is another one.

There's a lot of really good Spanish songs.

Even if you don't know what it means, the words are smooth.

Oh, perfect.

Yeah, okay.

I understand what you're saying.

Or maybe he just does the normal ones and they're like, hey, but you got to cover Sweet Caroline.

And you got to.

Sing us.

Yeah,

single.

We need two singles.

Yeah, exactly.

Because we'll try to.

Chambea.

I'm trying.

I'd like to learn Spanish.

Got me in some trouble, you remember?

Oh, yeah.

Really?

Raquel Rodriguez comes up to me and starts speaking in Spanish.

I could not understand what she was saying.

I can't understand what you're saying right now.

I need you to speak English.

I do not speak Spanish.

This guy's a racist.

That's what they call me.

I don't fucking speak Spanish.

I love Rocco.

I'm a big fan.

I'm a big fan.

But I'm trying to be a journalist here.

I can't tell him

what you're saying.

I have no idea what you're saying right now.

It'd be nice to be able to speak Spanish.

I want my daughter to be able to speak Spanish, I think.

I need her to speak English first.

We had a five-word sentence the other day.

I got us something to hear, and I was like, I gotta go outside, is what she said, or something like that.

Or, I want to go outside, and I was like, Here we go, let's go outside.

Yeah, I like that putting them together, wasn't planning on going outside, but I love what you just did there, so let's go outside.

There, the peeing, the pooping,

it's coming along.

Oh, yeah,

process, we're not there yet, though.

The process certainly had a towel cleanup, a bunch of pissed in the bedroom.

She was walking around, no diaper.

i'm peeing i look over she was not peeing at the right time but as soon as i looked over she started peeing i was like can i get a little bit more can i get i need 10 more seconds i could have got you there so i can lift you and scoop you and put you on the thing so i think we're getting there we're getting close parenting's cool man yeah this is a cool thing oh yeah she's got a lot of juice she's got a lot of juice which i love she was up just she'll be up until

literally forever she has a lot of but she doesn't yell.

She'll just lay in the bed in her bed and just like kind of, she'll sit up, chill.

I'm like, who's she?

What is she?

There's hanging out.

I'm kind of creeped out that she was okay.

Itch Black.

Oh, but yeah, she's vibing.

She's vibing.

Then she pass out.

It's good.

Oh, on that note, Jeremiah Love's story was cool.

Yeah, yes.

Jen Lada.

Yeah, because like I have no idea.

Like, honestly, I have no idea.

This is all, especially in the world that we're in right now.

Jeremiah Love coming out and being like, hey, I've been told that I was on the spectrum and then like a little bit different than him becoming who he is.

I think that's good good if we can, especially in this world that we're in right now, like more prevalent now in the conversation of topical of everything than it's ever been.

It's like, I appreciate that.

Well, and I like all of Jen Lotta's pieces, but personally, it's better when you just focus on the players.

Like, I think it's cool to learn about these massive stars.

I had no idea Jeremiah Love had any of that going on.

At all.

At all.

And now it's like a whole new perspective on Jeremiah Love.

And then he scores four touchdowns in the first half.

In the first half,

he had four touchdowns.

Yeah, you got to coach fire because he played so well.

Like, it was so awesome.

I hope she stays in that.

Actually, Jen, please just stay in that lane.

Let's focus on the line.

I don't think Jen is necessarily getting to decide what she does.

Well, if she does,

if you get any leeway or any say, the players are so awesome to learn about.

She tells incredible stories.

She really does.

Yeah, she does.

Very, very, very, very, very good stories.

That's like a huge part of game day.

Yeah, the Penn State place was, it was a great show.

It was a good time.

Nowadays, they lose here.

Coach Franklin told him, hey, we need him next week.

Gonna need the fans next week.

So I'm glad about that.

Why did he say that?

I think he tweeted it yesterday, which was great timing.

Penn State wasn't angry anymore.

Speaking of coaches tweeting stuff, you see Lane Kiffin?

What's this all about?

I just FaceTimed him literally as soon as I got to the bus.

I was shirtless, still from the show.

I'm like, hey, boys.

Not everybody thinks you're going to win this game.

I've learned.

Need you guys.

Coach, need you guys to get going.

He just immediately, as we're FaceTiming, he goes, why are you FaceTiming me?

This is not, I didn't know he was walking to the bus.

He was really walking to the bus.

And he answers you.

He goes, why are you FaceTiming me?

Dudes don't FaceTime dudes.

I go, you're wrong.

You're absolutely wrong.

I was just letting you know, I need you to win.

Okay, I need you to, I need to get these picks right.

Okay, in this Coach Corso, post-Coach Corso era, I need to be getting my picks right.

So I just needed you to know

we need this today.

Okay, like we actually, we need this.

So he picked me up to the bus.

Then he took his ears out and I go, boys,

need this one more than you could imagine.

Had no idea that was happening.

Okay, I'm shirtless sitting on my bus right now.

Just got off his entire thing.

And then he goes, geez, what a call.

Thanks, man.

And then he just hangs up, puts the phone down.

And then immediately, immediately, I go,

I check my phone and it's a screenshot.

He goes, Can I post this?

And I'm like, let it fly, brother.

Just please let him know I was motivating.

He goes, nope, dudes, don't.

Love that.

And then, did you see his response to Wit Weeks?

Whenever they said, why did Landry feed this man this week?

And he responded, tempo.

He is, this dude is awesome.

He is absolutely, it felt like too good of a Lan Kiffin week last week for him to lose that game.

Definitely.

You know, like it felt like, that's the only reason why I made that pick.

That is, that is it, strictly.

All feels like this is too good of a Lane Kiffins for him to lose.

Can't happen.

I don't think so.

I don't think that's how how it's gonna go huge win and that's what college football is yeah it's like you never know who's gonna show up each week literally week to week you have no idea who's gonna show up kit yeah young men sorry 18 to 23 year olds every week so many distractions money now oh yeah fame opportunity options and everything for everything

and then we need you to we need you to continue to yes lock in focus on this gotta win it's like everything else is a lot more fun yeah but come on need you he's got a t2 quarterback that might win the high school, though.

So shameless, unbelievable.

He's a ball puller.

Can't pull him now, right?

No, three straight, 300-yard games.

Got it, stay.

Were you out on LSU?

Don't you think they can still

allow them?

Yeah, they're sweet.

So talented.

They are, yeah.

They didn't have their running back either, right?

Wasn't Durham out?

Caden Cade?

I don't know.

I didn't get the...

Yes, yes, yes, he announced that.

Yes.

A lot of people are saying there's something wrong with Nessmann.

They're posting videos of him throwing the ball last year versus this year.

Oh, like he's hurt?

And they don't really have to.

SEC, don't they have to report it?

They have to report two hours before game time, but there's a lot.

I don't know if they're as legitimate as NFL reports.

We'll see how that goes.

All right, let's go to some overreactions from around the NFL.

It's from Tone Diggs.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

Dan Orlovsky said the Steelers are going to be starting 0-6.

I saw a lot of people bringing this up.

This was before Aaron Rodgers was signed to the Steelers, but I think he even said, who cares?

Whatever the case is, they were not set up to win.

Dano's eating some shit here from everybody.

Yeah, he has.

He's been a Steelers hater for a few years now, and a lot of it has been justified, but I saved this screenshot and him actually talking about this when this happened

because, you know, it just wasn't...

He said it so smugly, which really bothered me.

It was super smugly.

He said it so matter of a fact.

And like when you look at the schedule, like 0-6 was just insulting.

So I'm glad that everyone's being super mean to him on the internet.

And that's Dan Orlowski football, isn't it, AJ?

Just through and through right there.

I guess that is.

Has Dano responded at all?

Does he have any comment about it?

Like

I never said that.

Yeah, he's calling a big game tonight with Lewis Rig.

Tomorrow he'll get his opportunity to respond.

And I assume there'll be a couple things he'll say tonight that'll be alluding to the city of Pittsburgh.

I assume there'll be a little bit of that.

That's Dano football, though.

It's not just the Steelers fans that are going to kill him this season.

He knows that.

Welcome to Prime Morlofsky season.

That's right, Dano Dano.

Way to go, Dano.

It's almost like you do this to yourself.

Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we?

This is from Mitt.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

Abolish the NFL pie.

We might as well start calling it football, whatever the hell soccer is called across the pond.

I'm tired as absolute dog shite on a Monday because I just sat up until 1 a.m.

in honest confusion.

Also, the Cowboys secondary looks worse than my Division III almond water, so that's really cool.

Hashtag, happy fucking Monday, dude.

That's Dallas Cowboys Super fan.

Mitt, you feel the same way, Packer fan?

Uh, Yeah.

I mean,

not having a result when you stay up for that whole fucking game and, like, you know, invested in it, and then it's like overtime starts at, you know, 11.30 or whatever.

It's like, let's just get a result.

I'm not just saying this.

I legitimately would.

I would rather they lose than have there be a tie.

I think that's what Mitt was saying as well.

And Mitt only said it in a way he could speak.

Exactly.

I got a good chuckle when I saw, you know, honest confusion.

I don't know what that meant, but I loved it.

Tie.

So is it over?

Do we keep playing?

So it's 1 a.m.

Why are they not on TV anymore?

It's a tie?

I thought we got rid of the ties.

Remember, because a couple years ago, they changed the rule.

Then you were allowed to match, and you weren't allowed to match.

That play happens.

He probably loses his mind.

We win.

We have to.

How about how long their drive was?

Two drives eating up the entirety of the overtime was insane to think about.

Well, that's right, 10 minutes.

Like, why aren't we just going at 15?

There's only maybe no time.

Yeah, or just exactly untimed.

Yeah.

Untimed wouldn't matter.

It should be because your rules are ready.

The clock doesn't matter.

And teams are going to get antsy even if it's untimed.

I think, like, the assumption is like, well, if it's untimed, what are we just going to kick field goals back and forth, back and forth?

Like, I don't think in most games, that's not going to happen.

Someone's going to get antsy.

They're going to go forward on fourth down or, you know, whatever the case may be.

Like, it needs to be untimed.

We would, and it wouldn't take all night.

But also, you can still keep the field goal only good to

your first two, you can answer.

Right.

Because if the first one gets, yeah, if the first one gets a touchdown, it's over.

Like, I still think you keep the scoring.

Yeah, like if it's field goal, field goal, field goal, the third field goal wins the game.

Yes, yes, yeah.

This team field goal, that team field goal, next field goal wins.

Yes, because you had a chance to answer.

Bingo, yeah.

I think that is currently the rules, isn't it?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, because that's currently the rules.

Yeah, because after the first drive, whatever score wins.

So just keep that.

Just get rid of the time.

No time.

Yes.

Mitt staying up till 7 a.m.

At least we got a winner, though.

I would have.

But we all agree that this is better than sudden death.

I don't think so.

Yes.

You're saying somebody should answer after a field goal?

I'm saying because the changes after Josh Allen, but we all grew up on sudden death, first score, win.

I like this.

I like the team getting the rebuttal.

Yeah, because field goal rebuttal, I think, is good.

Even like the Packers stand, that wouldn't have happened if it was just field goal.

True.

You got to win game over, yeah.

Yeah, I think getting it back, I think, is sweet.

Well, and also with kickers these days, like a 62-yarder, yarder you only got to get like two first downs three first downs and then you're able to win the game.

I think an answer is good.

Let's go to the next overreaction shall we is from Sleeper Chiefs at Sleeper Chiefs KC hashtag I don't want to overreact

Spags made Lamar tap out like Anthony Richardson and the Chiefs are still the Chiefs Worthy is healthy pack on his swagger back and we get Rashi Rice in less than a month.

I hope you forgot I'm glad everyone had their fun.

The dynasty is here to stay.

Great picture as well.

I think the Chiefs is still the Chiefs.

I think that was a nice reminder.

And Lamar Jackson having a hamstring strain is obviously a little bit scary, especially whenever he exited the game, 17, third quarter, could still come back, I think, with Lamar Jackson.

I guess we'll keep our eyes out for an update on that front.

But I've seen the Ravens fans aren't necessarily loving anything about this, AJ.

Stavi had an anonymous mask on.

I did see that.

Stavi is a bit worried.

I mean, I don't know how bad.

Yeah, like, I just hope this isn't like a multiple week situation with Lamar.

They're one and three right now i think ravens fans are definitely worried because everything was set up to be a great year but you know injuries injuries bite everybody at some point i feel like butter had a bag on his head couldn't even put his hat on

butter couldn't even put his hat on

and i think it was all because they baited butter into believing this was the year for the ravens and butter bought it

butter bought it kind of punishing uh derrick hairy too and i think that yeah set him back in this game you saw he took the sleeves off because of the the the fumbling issue but i thought you know he was was running the ball well what he had like eight carries that's it something like that which is insane with it with a talent like that we all know the ball is the program but i mean that's that's tough and then defensively with all the injuries we talked about but yeah this was i would say more of a must-win game for the chiefs because of how their division is performing i think are the ravens still the favorite to win at fc north right now yeah i mean that's crazy they got so much talent obviously with lamar jackson as your quarterback will he be the quarterback how long will he be the quarterback and patrick mahomes is making throws much like aaron rods that we haven't seen in some time so it was fun to watch them be explosive again let's go to another overreaction here from the same game this is from Genobley hashtag I don't want to overreact but

Ravens are shite harbaugh is shite Zach Orr is shite fire sail the whole damn operation but wait who's got it better than us literally everyone

John read the fucking room

They don't like John Harbaugh right now.

Great use of exclamation points there.

Yeah, so they definitely not.

Genobley really did a good job.

I don't know if that was actually Manu or just somebody else, but

I appreciate that tweet.

Ravens fans are in a bad spot right now.

Ravens are in a bad spot.

Let's hope they get it fixed.

Good luck over there, both Mark.

Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we?

This is from at BLXKE underscore 4.

Is that bloke?

I don't know.

Hashtag I don't want to overreact.

But

the Colts are the same old Colts.

They always put my emotions in a blender.

Always dropping the ball.

Mitchell, AD, the ball.

whoa mitchell seemed like

seemed to like the blue and gold a little more yesterday is this coach season dying to dream already holy

i said he's playing for the other team

he said always dropping the ball mitchell a d mitch guy's playing for the other team he's gotta be

Great play.

Such a good highlight.

Such a good high.

Just fucking run in the end zone, dude.

Just run in the end zone.

I mean, at least though, at least he was trying to hold the ball out, and he didn't just spike it.

You know, some guy spike it at the one.

Like, this is better than that.

It still is the same outcome, but

I appreciated that.

You could tell, though, it bothered him, though, as a human.

It definitely bothered him.

He wasn't nonchalant about it.

He understood how big this was.

Look, I mean, and I love the three stripes.

I'm blame it on the gloves.

Fix your gloves.

You know, all the other gloves are sticky.

It's a bad moment for Adidas.

I mean,

all these one-hand catches we see week in and week out.

But A.D.

Mitchell,

huge, huge fumble, huge holding call.

There were other opportunities.

It wasn't just this either.

Yeah.

This was just a couple months later.

I know, I know.

Yeah.

But, hey, look, last year you said.

Coming into the season,

if you said going into week five, we'd be three and one.

With our offense playing, how they're playing, defense, definitely some things we need to switch up.

But if you showed us going into week five, we'd be three and one.

I feel good about it.

I have faith in it.

I like where we're at.

We should have won that game.

I went mightily yesterday a lot and uh a d mitchell i got faith brother yeah i got faith too talented way too talented but if he just continues to do this stuff

inevitably people are going to get tired of it and i'm not saying people aren't already

there's a lot of people calling for him to be off the team it's like can we hold on this guy is an immense super talent this is a this is a real talent here and in any given moment he can take over a game all those bad things happened yesterday and they still had a drive to chance to tie it at the end yep that's what i'm talking about

That's what I'm talking about.

They're a good team.

Very good team.

Dane Dimes had a couple picks.

Tyler Warren's still Tyler Warren.

Let's go to the next overreaction.

This is from Lord Tiny, first of his name, king of something.

Hashtag I don't want to overreact.

But the Packers have gone from Super Bowl favorites to can they even make the playoffs?

I really like Love and LaFleur, but they will never bring Green Bay a Super Bowl.

I don't trust them to do anything but disappoint us again and again and over

and on and on and on and and on.

You picked these.

So, Ty, was there a lot of this, I assume, out of the Packers faithful?

Yeah, a decent amount of this.

A lot, a lot, a lot of stuff basically saying, like, Rich Basace, you fucking suck at your job.

This has been a long time coming.

They need to fire his ass.

But

I don't want to get in the business of calling for people's heads today, you know, because it's still very early.

But boy, after last night going into the bye week, something's got to change.

And I don't want to think that way.

But the more you get into these games and like this kind of shit just happens more and more with the Packers where like they look so good early and then they just go like 25 minutes of game time, just so conservative and let teams come back.

They don't ever step on anybody's throats, ever.

And, you know, I don't want to feel that way, but the more it happens, the more I do start to feel like, man, these guys are never going to win a Super Bowl.

Whoa, no, AJ, do you feel that way?

Rich Basatcha took quite a shot there from Ty and the internet today.

Obviously didn't pick that, but they're saying special teams not good.

Blocked uh extra point obviously changes everything or blocked field goal which goes back the other way for two points the other way obviously ends up being a tie that's a quite a bit coming off the field goal block last week to lose the game as well like it's it's a lot oh aj are you feeling like lord king whatever the fuck his name was there in green bay no i still have plenty of hope in green bay i think they can get it done like i said before they are very young so yeah inexcusable things at times for sure but yeah tie sucks balls rather than rather probably well you'd rather win the the game obviously tie this is whatever but uh no i think the packers can still figure this out for sure micah is a menace no matter what no matter how many sacks he gets the dude like how hard he plays how much how much attention he gets that is going to pay dividend later in the year for everybody game saving tackle on dak prescott there uh which obviously is a bit we were wondering if micah was going to wreck the game he got eight pressures and then this one right here dak probably scoots in if we had to guess there maybe takes a beating still gets a tud wins the game instead eight pressures micah makes yeah Is that a good number or no?

That's a great number.

I just want to know who's coming up with these numbers.

Well,

however you feel about PFF, he was the highest-graded defender

in all of football yesterday.

Way to go, Mike.

I also saw him on the sideline with the iPad a lot.

He was going through a lot of different films, and obviously we saw him come out warming up with the band around.

Let's go to the next overreaction at Brain G 98.

Brian was obviously taken with a G there.

Brian Garcia.

Hashtag I don't want to overreact.

But the Chargers season is over.

Our top three offensive linemen are now up.

Herbert's running for his life.

And Robert doesn't want to hand it off to our first rounder, even though he had 112 on 12 carries.

Defense, just let a rookie expose them.

We are cooked.

Oh,

Chargers fans into Duncan.

Is that how you feel?

No, man.

Three and one.

Now, you are concerned about the offensive line.

Herbert is phenomenal.

I think he will continue to be phenomenal.

And I think a new quarterback is similar to like the interim coach bump.

You just kind of never know what you expect.

You know he's going to bring some juice for the team, especially at home.

So you know, that's kind of a wash.

Then O'Marion Hampton, I think he's the silver lining from this game and this performance.

He was great.

He had a great performance.

Hopefully you see a lot more of this, but you don't want, you got to see Joe Alt out of that boot pretty soon.

But I also think that that was a good sign for him to have that type of injury and then be back on the sideline standing in the boot, putting pressure on it, doing those type of things.

I think it's a positive sign going forward.

Let's go to another overreaction, shall we?

I don't think the Chargers are dead.

This is from T Car.

Carr.

What up, T Carr?

Hashtag, I don't overreact.

Watch out, 72 Dolphins.

Those Philly Johns are coming.

Nobody is stopping us.

Wind, hail, sleet, snow.

These Eagles are ready to go.

Just give us the Lombardi already and cancel the season.

Hashtag go birds.

Hashtag fly Eagles fly.

AJ Brown's not even on the field.

No, no.

Might as well be playing with 10 guys, and they're still winning games.

That's his Philadelphia Eagles kind of MO, AJ.

They just win.

That's kind of what the Eagles have done with Siriani, and it seems like there's no stopping them at this point.

Yeah, can you pop that A.J.

Brown quote that he put back up again?

This is probably a good way, right?

Like he's saying, I'm not going to be a problem.

Is this a positive thing that he put this up?

Like, I'm not going to be an issue.

I'm just going to keep my head down and keep playing until I get the ball.

Listen, I'll quietly withdraw.

Okay, so if you guys see what's going on over the next few weeks, I'm listening to this great quote.

Not cause a scene.

I'm just going to quietly withdraw.

Sirianni's had to balance this the entire time.

Remember, last year, they were the first team to win a Super Bowl in a long time that had way more rushes than they did passes.

Obviously, what football had become, they paid AJ Brown, they paid Devontae Smith, they pay the quarterback.

You think it's going to be a wide-open offense?

Kellen Moore was offense coordinator, but instead, they get Saquon Barkley and have the greatest offensive line in football.

We're going to run the ball a bunch, and then hopefully we'll be able to throw it to you.

It's kind of the mindset last year.

It's obviously carried into this year, and they're still winning, D.Buck.

Yeah, I mean, but they got to figure out first and foremost the run game.

You got to get Saquon going.

Last year, he was averaging like four yards to carry before making contact, and now he's not even getting to the line of scrimmage.

So, figuring that out, Lane Johnson, hopefully, he can get healthy.

Jalen Hurts, I mean, at least they were throwing the ball at AJ and trying to get him.

He had like nine targets, even though Peyton, you know, hates talking about targets.

He had like nine targets.

They were trying to get him the ball.

I just think the Bucs did a really good job taking care of them, covering them.

But they'll be all right.

I think he'll be all right.

Let's go to the next overreaction.

This is from A Word on Life, A Word on Life.

Hashtag I don't want to overreact.

But the Detroit Lions are annihilating the competition.

Goff dropping dimes, Sewell pancaked defenders into oblivion, St.

Brian snatching souls, and the Gibbs-Monty Dewar are the best ever.

They're not just contenders, they're conquerors, forging a dynasty.

Gonna love that, Foxy.

Ty Schmidt picked this.

I think he even agrees with what you guys are cooking up there.

Yes, sir.

Love everything about it.

He talked about the offense.

My takeaway from yesterday's game, Aiden Hutchinson's back.

He had two sacks, forced fumble, four quarterback hits.

He's all the way back.

They're gonna have to pay him so much money.

So I love where we're at right now.

How about the Gibbs Monty Duo?

Remember, they were calling him ass in cheeks after week one.

Instead, now they're back to Sonic and Knuckles, best ever, Conn.

Yeah, I don't know if this guy watched the game because I think Montgomery got hurt, but Gibbs was unbelievable.

And so was Goff.

Amon Ra.

I think, I don't know how many times a guy

has the same amount of targets as he does catches.

He never.

He's throwing it at Amon Ra.

Amon Ra is catching the ball.

He's playing so well, it's kind of a bummer because I don't want the Gooflovski nickname to die.

So maybe we'll...

I think it's dead.

Yeah, well,

I'm thinking that.

Actually, maybe it's for Dono.

Maybe it's Don G.

Or just Uflovsky we could do with that.

Uflovsky.

Yeah, the Lions are legit.

I think so, too.

Good for you, Fox.

Let's go to the next one.

This one's Kane Campbell.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But waiting all day for Sunday night.

And it ends in a tie.

This isn't JJ soccer leagues.

The group of suits that passed the rules should be sent to the fucking sun.

Oh, and add the Cowboys clock operator to that flight.

Let another second run off, you fucking bump.

A lot of people said that this morning.

That's Jerry World.

The fact that that stopped with one when that could have easily just gone to zero, LaFleur and Jordan Love are thanking the heavens for whoever's operating that clock down there.

Yeah, without a doubt, because watching it in real time, too, like you just, I didn't think there was any way there was going to be any time left.

It was like, oh, Jesus Christ, they're going to actually work themselves into not even getting a field goal attempt off.

Crazy that, because you would think that anywhere in the NFL, Jerry World would be the place where Jerry's up there, like, run the fucking clock, run it, run the guy.

Yeah, exactly.

All right, last overreaction here.

I don't love this one from Michael Page.

Hashtag, I don't want to overreact.

But

we better send EMS to check on Blue and Delflow.

The all-time best Colts team just got put on notice.

The Rams are Super Bowl bond.

The Eagles, McVay ain't going 0-4.

Stafford and Puka will be out there skeet shooting birds out of the sky like the NFC Championship.

Congrats to the Rams.

They're a great football team.

They're a great football team.

All right, AJ, let's make our picks for tonight.

Let's let Debuck go first.

Maybe he sets the tone.

You need both of these to get above 500.

I need both of these so I can say I got four right out of a game of 16.

Okay, that's tough.

That's two different vibes going into tonight's game.

Let's go with first.

We have a huge one.

Jets taking on the Dolphins 7-15 on ESPN.

Dolphins favored by two and a half at home.

What do we need to know about this one here?

It is two and a half across the board.

55% of the money is on the Miami Dolphins.

To be honest, as far as injuries and stuff like that, I don't care about these two teams at all, so I don't know.

Fields is playing.

I believe he's good to go with his concussion.

And then I'm pretty sure it's relatively healthy.

I haven't heard anything about anybody from Miami either.

Okay, D-Butt, your thoughts?

You know what?

Tour McDaniel backs against the wall.

Everybody's been shitting on him.

I think we have a breakout game from Tour, even though the Dolphins didn't send me a jacket.

Don't love that.

Might be out on them.

But I think Tour is...

I'm not a lifelong fan.

You chose four teams.

I am a lifelong fan.

I'm blood in, blood out in Miami.

But

that aside, I think Tua has a big game over 300 yards.

I think Tyreek Hill has a huge game as well because we always show up against shitty teams.

And as of right now, you what your record is so 0-3 on three big time primetime game two shows up dumpy your thoughts

yeah i love the dolphins they had they are 0-3 i get it they are shite but they played decent against the bills i think they're getting better defense looked a lot better i think they get it done today all right aj who do you got

I'll take the Jets.

Me too.

And I'm 2-12.

And then let's go to the Bengals at the Broncos.

Obviously, Mile High is an incredible place.

The Orange Crush is a noted fan base.

They're favored by 7.5.

Is there anything anything else out there we need to know?

66% of the money for this one is on the Broncos, as to be expected.

I believe, let me just check.

Nope, it's seven and a half across the board.

I was hoping you could get a seven with the Broncos, but you cannot.

Debut, your thoughts?

Do not love that hook, that 0.5 after that 7, but I am still going with the Denver Broncos.

I trust the quarterback more, and I cannot wait to see Patrick Sertan and Jamar Chase go at it all.

Oh, in front of that.

crowd they're gonna roll pescrada

crown winner from last year jamar chase defensive player of the the year.

I mean, this is big on big, baby.

Primetime matchup.

Who do you got, AJ?

I don't like seven and a half.

I think that is a lot, but I do like the Broncos.

I think this is a game that they're going to hopefully find a way to win, win big, and build momentum that springboards them for the rest of the year.

I like the Broncos as well.

They're a good football team.

Coach just beat them.

I mean, that might be the first time AJ's ever picked against Cincinnati.

I know.

He feels bad, especially after last week.

How could you not have that piece in your mouth?

Yeah.

Joe Burrows out, buddy.

Starting QB insurance, we're talking about.

All right.

Let's have a great Monday night.

Doubleheader, 7.15, 8.15.

We'll be back tomorrow to chit-chat about all of it.

Be a friend, tell a friend something nice.

It might change their life.

We're going to sing together.

Team on me, team on three.

One, two, three.

Goodbye.

And on the way out here, on the way out here, we'd like to show you a show that we were

edited, produced, whatever you call it.

It's going to be debuting tomorrow.

It's called Rushmore.

It'll live full episodes exclusively on X, although we'll have clips across all social media platforms.

It's the goats of their industry basically giving their Mount Rushmores.

For instance, tomorrow's episode is called Receivers.

The host, Ari Emmanuel.

Yes, that Ari Emmanuel, Ari Gold from Entourage, now the owner of TKO and everything like that, hosts alongside Ben Persky, founder of a record label and also a mixed management company.

He, they kind of host it, and then two goats come in to give their Mount Rushmore.

Tomorrow, receivers, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are on there.

And every single week, like for instance, there's a music one, Jimmy Iveen, Rick Rubin.

There's a video video game one.

Elon Musk is on there talking.

I mean, you're talking about the greatest guest list ever assembled.

Episodes will be dropping on Tuesday.

Tomorrow's the first one.

Rushmore on X.

Wow.

Tomorrow's receivers, it's worth it.

We'll be talking about it tomorrow, and we're thankful to be a part of it.

We'll see you then.

Enjoy Monday night.

Oh, shut the fuck up.

Randy Moss was faster than every DBP.

I'm going to go with Rob.

He influenced me, Tom.

Your former changed by the order in Tom's presentation?

Yes, of course.

I started this idea.

I can change.

I don't know how I can sit here and argue against Randy Moss.

I drove seven hours in the middle of the night to host him on a visit to Tennessee.

I'm not okay with Brock over Mark.

I'm not signing the release and letting Tom come away with two Patriots.

I don't have, you know, I don't have one Colt.

This is about Rushmore of receivers, which includes, for our purposes here, also tight ends.

That's the worst list I've ever seen.

Okay.

Okay.

That's the worst list?

Oh, he got sneaker kicked towards everything.

Why did did he refer to the thing?

My hobbies are spending time with friends and family and video games.

I was looking at some list of things that turn women off the most, and one is if your hobby is video games.

Finals against the Lakers up by 15.

16.

I think it was 15.

I called the game.

I was at that game.

You were at the game, but I called the game.

Yeah, I'm sitting there next to Phil.

You have Iowa, Iowa State wrestling.

What are you talking about?

Okay, so what was your second one?

No, you're absolutely wrong.

Three hundred.

I was a kid when you were still pissing off curves.

I bought that fucking record, and that was a band.
