And you can't double one of us because the other two is going to go crazy home. Welcome to the Green Light Podcast. A wild show for you to do.

Today, Chris interviews a bear. That bear, DJ Moore, just think a huge contract with Chicago. He goes through his excitement for his new deal, playing with Caleb Williams, Roma Dunesay, Keenan Allen, the entire Bears' offense, and what he thinks the Bears have in store for 2024. Before we get to that interview, we talk to Bo. Chris and Bo go through some training camp news. We talk Tristan Wirth's new contract, the NFL Top 100, Joe Milton, and Drake May battling for that number two QB spot.

in New England. CJ Gardner Johnson getting the Eagles out of meetings a couple days ago and a video from San Francisco showing Brandon Iuke. We break it down. Does it look like he's getting out? Is he going to a new team? Or is there going to be some fresh paperwork there for Brandon in the 49ers? We also talk a little bit of college football there at the end.

Y'all enjoy today's episode. Make sure to come back on Tuesday. We'll see you then. Hey, baby, you're going to come see what Chris Long or Bowen are doing on the pod this week. They got their tities. out. No, no, you got your titties out. I'm just doing traps. Sprinting over to the watch. It rolled up this morning. The boys were shirtless during the production meeting.

Let's say, let's just keep this thing going. Cowboy Reed and Matt took their shirts off. Nips out for the boys. I've been pushing for a shirtless pod for years now, Chris. This is a training camp staple. We're only from now on during training camp, we do shirtless pods. Let's go. All right. This is just. Just our soft segue into only fans content. The soft segue into only fans. We got DJ more today. I got DJ more today.

I'm going to interview him in a couple minutes. Before then, Bo and I are going to run through some NFL news and tell you whether there's news or not news, but one of Bo's former teammates just got paid. Yeah, Chris, my boy Tristan Wirth's got a $140.63 million contract extension down in Tampa Bay. This is big news, man. I think the Bucks have done a really good job of retaining a lot of their talent. Started earlier in the offseason with guys like Baker Mayfield. They got Levante back, who is criminally underrated, in my opinion. Excellent football player.

Great guy. They got Mike Evans back. You know, I saw my former teammate Gerald McCoy was down in Tampa for camp or fucking whatever. And he was interviewing Mike. You know, Mike was seriously looking at other places until his wife kind of told him to stay in Tampa Bay. so good shit. Mrs. Evans, but now they got Tristan locked up too. So I think this is great, man.

The Bucks have done a really good job of keeping core elements of their team. They had a fucking good team last year, I think. Antoine Winfield resigned as well. Yeah, they got Winfield too. It was a great player from the great state of Minnesota. You know, I didn't think the Bucks are going to be any good last year, and they had a very good season. You know, went pretty far into the playoffs.

I ended up losing to Detroit, and they're retaining a lot of key elements of that team. So I think they'll be, you know, they're kind of on track to have a pretty successful season. I don't know. What do you think, Chris? Worf's always struck me as like a 90s tackle. He's just got that kind of size and width and the way he can float in his set. Like he's a prototypical left tackle. And he's getting paid like one.

No surprise to me. I was a little bit surprised at how well they played last year. I mean, I was open about that even though once the year got going, I jumped on the bandwagon. And I think, you know, Baker towards the end of last year, I think the narrative came back down to earth a little bit. And I mean that in a positive way where like when he left Cleveland, people were like, oh, he's cooked. And I don't know if that was ever the case. You know, injuries matter. And sometimes you need a fresh start.

And it's so fortunate for him that he ended up in L.A. where McVeigh kind of got him up off the mat, dusted him off, and he went to Tampa and had a great year last year. So, you know, I can remember them getting ready to play Jacksonville towards the end of the season last year, and the narratives around Trevor Lawrence are completely different. What's the difference in what these guys have done in the NFL? I think Baker Mayfield gives this team a chance to win.

We really like Baker. And that's a really good roster, you know, to Bose points. So they'll be right back in the thick of this thing. year and it's nice to have the big fella locked up. Yes. And I want to say one thing about Tristan worse before we move on. So I actually never was with him, you know, in the locker room because he signed or he was drafted by the Bucks when I signed with New England. But I remember there's this field that we all go to in Tampa where we train and we

would all all kind of go there, especially because this was in 2020 when you weren't allowed to be at the facility. So we all kind of got our workouts from the program and we went. And I remember just seeing him from across the field and watching. him move for literally 30 seconds of being like this motherfucker is going to be an unbelievable football player like he's that kind of he has that kind of frame he carries it like that he moves that well and he's a fucking great guy too like he works his ass off he's a fucking monster and i think he deserves every little bit of this contract so shout out to tristan good shit fam there's another uh group

that needs a little recognition after this signing so he's he's now one of the highest paid offensive the NFL and he came from Iowa. So I think all the Iowa offensive hate needs to stop. I think it's ridiculous now. But they haven't able to figure out how to convert all that into points. Yeah. All the guys like Tristan worst. That's right.

Guaranteed six right there. All they need to do. Hey, Bo, remember what you said a moment ago that it took you like 30 seconds to realize he'd be great. That was like me when you cut on the microphone at this podcast. Yeah, just a singular. tube of light shining down on my face. Yeah.

And then you really realize that. You want to get into news or not news? I'll start it off. Is the top 100 news, Bo? When you hear it every year, is it news? Fuck no, dude. The top 100 is certainly not news. It is, like, it feels like propaganda to me.

Is it fake news? It's fake news. It is not news. I think it's more fake news than it is news. I'll say this because, like, having been in locker rooms when they come in and they're like, hi, do you have 10 minutes? And you're like, not really. I got to shower and get to meetings. And they're like, well, it only take one minute because we're only going to ask you to fill out like 10 to 12. We'll do the rest. Yeah. That's kind of the way it goes. I'm not saying some guys, like one or two guys in a locker room.

You know who used to probably do this? One through 100 was like Matt Collins and Nate Sudfeld. They probably used to go over the corner of the locker room, fill out the whole thing. It looks fun. And they got nothing to do. Well, Max got to go to meetings. but like the backup qbs might fill this thing out the lock i don't know the kickers i don't know who's got the time to fill out a hundred if somebody did let us know but i can only remember filling out 10 at a time and i'd be like the only guy in my row of lockers who wasn't like yeah fuck off i'm going to lunch dude i remember literally getting this form chris and looking around the cafeteria and being like oh yeah mike evans you know what i mean oh yeah like and then i put on like guys who absolutely didn't deserve to be out there like Chris Long, you know.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Number 82 in 2011. Bo, hey, let me ask you a question. Do you pay more attention when you fill out paperwork at the doctor's office or when you fill out this paperwork? A doctor's office 100%. Now, listen, I'm not not, I mean, a lot of these players in the top 100 certainly deserve to

be there. And if they don't, who cares? That still means they're fringe top 100 players in maybe the most. competitive sport in America. Okay? Like, so I got it. Like, this is not inaccurate that these players aren't great players. It's just the ordering of some of them can make no sense.

Yeah. You know? And it all is what AI is for. Like, haven't we evolved to a point where like AI should be able to make a good top 100 list? Like certainly better than all these CTE riddled brains in the locker room. Oh, come on, though. You fill this shit out when you're in like this weird.

That's the guy podcasting with his shirt off. Hey, people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Chris, all right? Especially if one stone will fucking, that could be the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. I got some stones for you right here, brother. Hey, no, here's the thing. It reminds me of like pro bowl voting too, which we always talk about around pro bowl time. But like, do you remember when they used to have us vote for the pro bowl? And it'd be like the end of the longest day.

Yeah. You know, it'd be like guys are just waiting to get out of the building. And the D-Line coach is like, yeah, we'll do this at the end of when we watch her two hours of the same clips over and over again. So, like, it'll be 6.50 p.m. guys are ready to get home. And they're like, all right, now we got to do Pro Bowl voting. I don't even think, did we used to vote on the O-Lignment or the D-Lignment? I think we voted on the O-Lignment. We vote on the O-Lignment.

And I, like, but then it's like, dude, the Pro Bowl voting has changed so much, too. Now you've got people like fucking campaigning for it on social media and you have a fan vote and stuff like that. I'm so proud I never did that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I honestly should have. I should have, too. I should have, too. After watching some of my friends and people that I, like, actually think are like,

you know, I don't think they're like bad people at all. Like, I just, I was like, man, that's some cringy shit if I ever do that. But I've watched a lot of guys do it. But here's the problem. When they get in there with the forms, it's literally like, hurry up. Let's fill this out. It's one guy. It's usually like one vet being like, call some people.

people out. And if people knew that, I think it would probably, you know, poke a little bit of a hole in the legitimacy of some of this stuff. But let's get to the players. I mentioned this dude earlier. I've fucking talked about him nonstop. I love him as a player. I love him as a person. For whatever reason, he has been criminally underrated for his entire career. I think he's one of the best linebacks in the NFL. I think he's a fucking future Hall of Famer. Levante David is number 99. And that, like, that bothers me. I don't know why I always have a bone to pick about people who like don't give levante the love that he deserves but like that's one that stood out to me immediately and then right 98 cam heyward like a fucking one of the absolute biggest

NFL like he's been a menace but did not play well last year i mean not playing well last year so that's what complicates this list a little bit like Aaron rogers is on the list but hey speaking of not playing well last year fucking uh Derek henry is like number 40 what's he at he's 49 did he end up he ended up with some numbers like last year. It just felt like they didn't use him a lot. But when they used them, he still looked like Derek Henry. And I mean, there's obviously an aura of fear

around a guy like Derek Henry, which is why like when you're, you know, when us when we're filling out these forms like top and hundred players, like, who's the motherfucker that you're scared of? Oh, Derek Henry. He's like looming in your I'm still putting Marshaun Lynch on that list. I don't know if he's still playing, but that motherfucker's got to be one of the best 100. How long after his career

do you think Marshawn Lynch is still one of the best 100 football players on the planet? I'm in like five seven years yeah yeah he could have walked out of that 20 30 bro he could have hopped out of that stumbled out of that charger had two and a half wheels on the curb a couple years ago remember when he got troubled and probably rushed for 100 yards yeah so listen i here's one that jumps out for me and i i don't know predictably i'm very upset about this and this proves that this list is null and void to me as legerie steins on the list yeah like didn't he even Didn't he? I'm like looking for it.

Hasn't been released yet, Chris. And maybe he needs to be on the list and maybe people's forecasting of the top 10 is wrong because they've kind of got it penciled in like one through 10. And I don't have a lot of arguments with the people in that top 10. But if Legerius needs on the list, you're smoking crack. Trey Hendrickson, who I think is criminally underrated. Yeah. He's 77.

There's only one reason he's 77. What is that reason, Chris? Why don't you tell it for the, I can't say it loud and proud for the. for the people in the back brother. I can't quite. I'll give you a hint. There's a lot of it on this podcast.

All right. So, Trey is 77. Okay. And I'm going to, listen, I think Hutch is a fucking baller. But you're telling me he's 30 places better than Trey.

I think Trey is better than Hutch. I think Trey's better than Bradley Chub. No offense to Bradley Chubb. Bradley Chubb, Bradley Chub, ahead of DeNeil Hunter, who had like 16 and a half. last year like hunter hunter has hunter's threatening that sack record every year at some point you know

like if he if he ends up with a four or five sack game one of these years he might break it matt stafford is 42 brock purdy is 28 tua is 36 no disrespect to any of the cats i just mentioned but matt staffer's better than those two football players and has been for a long time and was last year. Okay, so put Matt Stafford where he needs to be. Why is Lane Johnson, you're telling me two is a better football player than Lane Johnson? Because isn't this what we're doing? You're telling me Lane's the 41st best player in the league.

You're telling me Garrett Wilson's only the 72nd best player in the league. How do you feel about Nick Bosa at 27? Nick Bosa is a dominant player. It's going to be hard for me to argue with Nick Bosa. I try to think of those guys all to me are guys that like are game wreckers. You know what I mean? Like you know when you get the scouting report during the week and you're getting ready and you have like all the arbitrary numbers.

It's like a five, this guy's a guy's a 5.7. And then you have a guy like Aaron Donald who like literally is a game record. Like you need to know where he is on every single player. You need to know where Nick Bose is. He's going to be right there in the same spot. The only thing about Nick Bose is like how much of the meeting can you take up talking about the other five guys too?

because there's like a bunch of guys on that defense. So I just look at a guy like Trey Hendrickson or Denial Hunter. And I'm like, what do these guys got to do? Yeah. You know, and that's- I'm happy to see Dexter Lawrence at 24, sexy-dexie. How about that? Yeah.

How about that? Because I was kind of looking through this and I'm like, I feel like my guts telling me that interior offensive defensive linemen are going to be underrepresented on this list. Yeah. I scrolled all the way to the front. And like I said, I mean, they still have whatever, 10 spots. to release but dexter lawrence 24 he's a fucking great noseguard man if you're going to put guys on

here who barely played last year and i'm not talking about dexter i'm going back to something else then a guy like um stewart in uh in indy who missed six games for a pd deal uh he's in my opinion one of the best hundred players in the league i could go on and on about guys that didn't make the list but the bottom line is just the ordering that's tough and hey i i get it NFL you got to have programming around this thing. Fans like it. But just so the fans know, the players do vote on it. But I can count on one hand the people I've seen fill this list out past 20.

Seriously. Anybody got time for that? Nobody. This is in the Patriots training camp. Drake May and Joe Milton, apparently out of training camp, Joe Milton is out playing Drake May. Is this news or not news? All right.

So I'm going to say it's not news, but not because I don't think Joe Milton could be a good football player or Drake may. It's fucking July. When this news came out, it was July. It's August first, Chris. And today, it's August 1st, but when this report come out, wise ass. I love this rap. Go ahead.

Say it. Just say it, July. Yeah, all right. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. It's July when this news comes out. And I look at it like this. Fans hear things, right?

But they don't know who's playing against who, right? And I'm not a Drake May. Apologies. I don't even know if this kid's going to be good. I don't have a guy I'm in love with in this draft class. Last time I checked. But Drake May and Joe Milton are playing different people. You know, the team periods are often split by like, hey, you're going to go against the ones. You're going to go into twos or the threes, depending on Jacoby Brissette's involvement, the whole thing. So when you hear this stuff on the surface, yeah, for one, these two guys might be playing different groups of football, players on a regular basis in camp.

They might have different people around them. Like, what I heard specifically out of camp is that Drake May is having trouble with the center. So that's causing issues. And Keon White, who, you know I love Keon White and will be on that bullshit list we talked about a second ago next year. He's going to be very good, has been wrecking practice, supposedly. And Joe's going against a different group on defense.

And the truth is, like, I can't remember being a rookie and being neck and neck with other defensive ends who were undrafted the first couple weeks of camp. Like, I'm watching them make plays, you know, and truth of the matter is, as camp goes on, better players separate. As the years go on, better players separate. And I just think it's early. I think it's too early to do this, like, you know, this one throw-in practice thing. We're a J.J. McCarthy thing, which you brought up earlier.

And I tweeted about it yesterday was, you know, people are saying, oh, JJ's struggling. It's fucking July, first off. Second off, he's playing the Vikings defense headed by Brian Flores, who last year, we talked about that defense like the league hadn't seen some of the coverages they were running behind certain fronts. And now you've got a rookie coming in and have. having to play this defense. I'm not saying the kids going to be great. Just give these guys a chance and consider the context of how they're practicing and who they're practicing.

That's the nature of the reaction and media that we are a part of Chris. And especially this time of the year where they're- Right now we're not, Bo. Yeah, not right now. We are level-headed and collect, calm, cool, and collected. But there is up until, you know, later today, there is no football that's been played. And it's just so funny to see, you know, the media make these general

sweeping generalizations about players who haven't even had game time experience that and don't get me wrong like the hall of fame game is not a fucking bullets flying football game but it is a little bit more than practice but to your point chris like let's just fucking hold our horses a little bit wait and see and uh you know let's not write players off let's not say who's playing better than who there's been like six practices of camp so far all right that's nice this is this is we're in the aggregator era so any video of a guy making a throw, not making a throw. We all know, like, when you see ML football or Dobb climbing or whoever

Dob climbing sold his fucking guy. Yeah, is that even a fucking real person? Barely, it was. And now, I don't know. But, like, you know, you've got these single throw sample sizes that you're seeing on air and seven on seven. And a caption is almost designed these days to get a response. Like you'll see a 30-yard duck from some quarterback.

And ML football will be like this bomb from, you know, ex-quarterback. And people freak out because it's obviously not a bomb. That's how it's designed. This thing's designed to just keep the news going. And if I see another, and I love Justin Fields. And I think he's going to succeed at some point in his career. And it's probably going to be in Pittsburgh. But if I see another like Justin Fields avoids the sack with a free runner running by

and patting him on the ass, like, you just consider the context of what you're looking at and if you don't know what to what to make of it then then ask somebody because that these aren't real outcomes all the time give these the news cycle always fucking goes in camp it's so predictive like oh so and so isn't looking good as a rookie oh this person's not playing well and then I guarantee you next week all the fucking media is going to be about fights at camp remember Jamar chase was going to suck yeah I don't know if you remember that, but Jamar Chase was going to suck. Do you remember that? Yeah. And now he's on the fucking NFL top 100.

Yeah. And another thing, specifically to the Patriots thing, they're both battling for the backup position. Jacoby Rossett is the number one guy anyway. Yeah. And that's another thing is like, hey, these kids are going to have time. And I hope they both succeed. I think, I mean, The Joe Milton throw, I just saw it look like a punt. I mean, he's got an arm on him. And I've heard the guys like a jugs machine. So we'll see. I hope because I'm a big Mayo fan that they figured this thing out and he gets a chance. News, not news, going to Philadelphia.

The Eagles got out of team meetings yesterday. Thanks to C.J. Gardner Johnson. Hey, this is the biggest piece of media information to come out of Philadelphia in years. This is a huge news. And I'll tell you why. People don't, everyone listening at home, like, you don't understand how many goddamn meetings are during camp and how fucking tired of it you get and how tired you fucking get of listening to your head coach speak. It is every fucking day. You've got team meetings left and right. So just a little bit of breakup and the monotony of meetings in camp is massive.

You see the reaction of all the players at Novacare when you fucking drain that wetball from the back row like that's fucking media worthy put that shit on sports center top 10 i fucking love that if that was if i was in that meeting room i'd be fucking thrilled this is the type of thing that gets people elected captain yeah you know it's to say Kobe as you drain a shot that saves these guys an hour and a half of their precious time like a free hour i don't even know how how long this meeting was or, you know, what was on docket, but you have to consider the flip side of it,

which is missing it and having to sit back down and watch show. Yeah. So anyways, imagine like, I don't know what Seriani does during these team meetings, but I've been part of meetings before where like if you fuck up during practice, you're getting flamed in front of the entire team. Oh, if you know you got a bad way. Imagine you're that guy and you're like, oh, I fucking jumped off sides on third and four, you know, during team period and the final team period of the day.

and you're just sitting there, you know it's going to come up during team meeting. And then this fucker gets up and drains that ball. Please. Bro. Please. Please get us out. I got these cheeseburgers, man. Yeah.

I'm bringing you Popeyes the next day or whatever the fuck you want, bro. I'm getting your car detailed. I'm going to bring in some candy to the meeting room. Like, that's huge. That's huge. It's a morale booster. It can lead to a good practice the next day. That's a huge shot from CJ Gardner.

Johnson, the guy who said he fucking hates Philly. And then left three years. I was like, nah, I'm just fucking around. I'm back. I'm back. He could be a top 100 player, honestly. He's got my vote after that shot. Fuck.

Yeah. News, not news going out to San Francisco. We saw Brandon Ayyuk walking onto the field. There was a 37 second video. 10 seconds of it was him walking across the field. And then he dapped up John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. This is Brandon Ayuk. This looks like a man who's headed to like Cleveland or something.

Okay. He's got his hoodie completely cinched around his face. Yeah. He's not making a lot of eye contact with teammates. Not a lot of teammates. Not a lot of things. Just okay. Not great.

Watch is okay. Look at this Dap. The Dap is like, hey, what's up, man? Like, and then the guy turns away. There's no like, oh, thanks for signing that deal. This is the big one. Shanahan and him. That's a C.

You Later Dap. I think that's a Cia Later Dap. I don't think that's a, hey, we got the deal done Dap. I think that's a see you later. It's center of the never read. DAP is the big Dap into the hug with a back pat. That's the deal done. DAP.

Yes. And other people come around and they're like, you know, like we got it done. Yeah. Now you're, I mean, you hear this phrase a lot around NFL locker rooms.

They got through the ball before he dapped him. And if you, if you look, I think that's John Lynch. He like, it almost like he tries to pull him in a little closer for, for the hug, for the like goodbye hug.

Yeah. And Brandon, now you doesn't want to do it. Yeah. So that almost kind of gives away, I'll play a bag. It almost gives a, a way that he's that there is no deal yeah they would have rock the hug a little bit he keeps it he keeps

as an arm distance dude i'm just saying and here's one of the the biggest that's like a hey thanks for everything man yeah going back out and seeing us and you know like hey give it a shot have a good life you know if a guy signs a new deal don't they give him a microphone oh me the money that that's definitely not that's definitely not new deal situation. Yeah, no, that was first team all bad body language from Iuk there. I hope we're wrong because I really enjoy the Niners and, you know, it'd be fun to see it back there, but I don't know. I'm going to tell, that's a bit of a zag because a bunch of people are celebrating. They're like, oh, he's back. Yeah, we'll see. All right, now going up to New York,

news or no news, we've got Aaron Rogers and Garrett Wilson in what seemingly looked like them arguing on the sideline? Are they actually arguing? Are they talking through a play? You said you were anti-establishment. I am anti-establishment. Bro, I'm not vaccinated. I'm not vaccinated. I promise. Oh, I'm back. Bro, you like the Fed? I'll end the Fed right now. Oh, you'll end the Fed? You won't end the Fed. Bro. I told you I'm voting for Robert Kennedy Jr. I fucking told you, bro. I promise you. I'm voting for Robert Kennedy Jr. Okay, all right. So I just want to say this. Garrett Wilson looks

cool as shit at practice. I said that earlier. He also talks like a, you can tell he's like one of these throwbacks where he'll come at the, okay, run this back 10 seconds. Okay, and this is where I think it's important. Number one, this is not a fight. If anything, it's constructive. But she, Breece Halls here. And look, what is Breece Hall saying to Garrett Wilson when the coach walks over? This is the part to me that makes me think that Garrett Wilson might be being animated and complaining about somebody else or something else because Brees is like, hey, hey, hey, calm down. You see that? When he taps his chest, he grabs him. He says, hey, hey, hey, hey. We got to get NFL bad lip syncing to do one of these. You know what I'm

saying, Bo? Because if it was an argument with Aaron Rogers, after they've dapped up, Brice wouldn't be like, hey, hey, chill out. I don't know what Brees is saying. I don't know they're like, they're sign language, but I've had similar sign language situations where I'm like, hey, the coach that you're complaining about is coming over here. Yeah, like, Hey, who do you, man. Who do you? Who do you? I'm not saying.

And also, just in general, it's good to see these discussions between Rogers and Wilson, who I think they're going to have a great year, these two. I think Rogers still can sling the football. And Garrett Wilson's, there's a lot more credit we talked about in the top 100. No, I mean, Chris, I think all joking aside, like, how many times, like, dude, there have been times where I have been in full-blown screaming matches on the sideline in-game about guys who'd be like, uh, I didn't get the fucking call. Like, I did this.

It's like blah, blah, blah. And you're just, football's an emotional sport, man. This is a non-issue to me, not news at all. This is just people sorting shit out during camp. Like, until fists are flying, this ain't no fight. Daniel Jones was asking a very interesting philosophical question by a Giants reporter. Hey, Daniel. Hey, Paul.

How you doing? Hey, good. How you doing? Good. I have a bit of a philosophical question. So I'm going to read this to you. And you can look at the picture as I asked this question. as I asked this question.

Do you pull... The picture's not helping me. ...killing one plus one plus one people, one person for every integer, resulting in infinite people dying, or do you do nothing, allowing the trolley to kill 100 continuously reincarnating people?

In both cases, there is infinite suffering, but in the top case, there is finite suffering for each infinite death, whereas there is infinite suffering with each finite death. What do you do? Yeah. I mean, I think you can get into trouble when you try to think too much about some of those things

and how it all works out and, yeah, like your antenna for maybe some of those dynamics and relationships. So, you know, I'm just kind of focused on what I'm doing. And that's my rehab, getting healthy, you know, spending time with the guys and making sure we're getting on the same page, having the best spring we can. So, you know, I guess that'd be a better question for for Joe and Dave's, but I'm focused on what I guess is. This is fake. Guys, guys, I think you got duped. I don't think that's a real question.

I don't think he's really answering that question. Can you confirm that? I love that, though. Like, first of all, can we answer the question? I'd love to answer the question, but I just want to get this. I want to get this out here right now. I think we the people at this podcast, we the people that. inputted this into the dock got duped i don't think this is real what you're saying is it's not news

and it's also fake news i think it's fake news because although skirting the question and saying like hey that'd be a better question to ask like joe and brian would be funny but like he doesn't even thrown off he just yeah keeps the white eyes where he's like all you're looking around like this but no like that's great he's just like yeah why don't you ask my gm and head coach about infinite suffering. They know better than me. I think it's a video fake. I think it's a fake. Let's answer the question. I would love to, Chris.

And can you reframe the question for people at home that might not have heard it correctly or don't understand it? Yes. Podcast Genius, Bo Allen, at your service here. I finished my degree in marketing and management from UW in 15 years. So pretty smart guy. Anyway, basically what the reporter's asking. Oh, Jehiver. Yeah, big degree guy.

College boy. This is a take on the classic, you know, philosophy question. It's the railroad question, right? So like there's a fucking trolley car on some tracks that's going to kill, you know, someone that you love, you divert it to kill a random person. But instead it's a take on like infinite suffering, like they said in the video. Okay. So what it's saying is do you divert the car so it kills an infinite number of

people one time or do you leave it on the track so it kills 100 people an infinite amount of times and I think the answer is pretty simple Chris you got to leave it on the track because it results in less deaths if you fucking pull that switch then you're going to kill an infinite number of people whereas if you do not and you leave it on the track it's just going to kill 100 people once 100 people are dead they're dead though no they get reincarnated in this scenario it's stupid I love this thought exercise. Let's get philosophical on the pod, maybe. I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

People are going to die, right? That is, that's life. And some people are going to die as a result of mechanical injury or some, you know, a statistical anomaly happening to them, a fucking suitcase flying out of a 747. You let nature run its course. In this circumstance, you leave the car barreling down the track. to kill an infinite amount of people that were unknown amount of people right one time you do not no one should be born into this world getting perpetually run over like not us and i don't care if it's

only a hundred because if you choose this this fucking option there's still going to be cancer there's still going to be fucking all escalator accidents there's still going to be fucking people getting crushed under elevators and, and syphilis that, that persists so long, people's brains rot. Like, there's terrible things that are going to happen.

Look at Donald Trump. All right. There's still bad things that are going to happen. So you're not solving the world's problem by killing 100 people over and over again with this train. We got a little deep here. I didn't know we were doing a syphilis pod today. We're always doing a syphilis pod.

when you're on. Nice. Got my eyes. Matt, do you agree with me? I saw you nod in your head. Do you agree? Or do you disagree?

I think I agree. Nobody should wake up into a experience of getting mauled by a train. Groundhog day. Yeah. Oh, you're a fucking, that's a red flag, bro.

Less overall suffering, dude. It's an infinite amount of deaths the other way. But it's not true. It's not true because it's not less overall suffering. No, it's not less overall suffering. It's just less overall loss of life. Not when you consider the fact that losing your life in this scenario can be undone.

And then you can lose your life again. It's a tremendous amount of suffering, Beau. A lot of suffering. It's like fall camp personified. You're a Nazi. Going to Colorado heading to college. In training camp, we saw the Buffer, follows added their social media handles.

Each player's social media handles on the back of their practice jerseys. So in these videos and clips, you see quarterback Shador Sanders at Shador Sanders. Yeah, you know what? This is fucking stupid. And I'm just not afraid to say it. Listen, and this is where things are going. And if I'm the old man yelling at the cloud, so be it. Whether it was Shador Sanders or fucking PJ Fleck, who we'll talk about here in a second,

like college football is just getting kind of wild. But here's the thing I don't like. it kind of feels like, and as much I love Colorado, and you guys know I've been supportive of Dion since the beginning, and the haters are the haters. But I will tell you this, it does feel like Colorado operates with this tinge of like, if you criticize us, we'll say you're hating.

Every team that plays them, it's a Super Bowl every week, Chris. Right. It's not true, dude, anymore. You actually have to win to assume that title. I don't think the ratings are going to go as hard. this year when Colorado plays. I hope they're very good because I enjoy watching

what he's building. But like some things like this thing, like you can't expect me to be like, oh, fucking cool. This shit's lame, dude. Lame is fucking. It's lame. I'm sitting here thinking about how I don't let my kids on social media. It's just the, it's just the,

it's a constant reminder that the brand is important. And I've always been anti-brand. I'm pro. be yourself. And I guess maybe you could argue that like, hey, if you see my social media, that's me. But it does feel kind of contrived. It's so dumb, dude. Like, worry about fucking, worry about jogging over to nine on seven during camp, you know?

You would argue, he would argue that I am worried about it. I just, I just got my social media handle on my back. Bro, you know, these guys are fucking trying to figure out the perfect angles so that they can get the photos with the fucking social media handle on back. There weren't, dude, I just, it bothers me. I don't know why. Like, you know what they do in, like a lot of fall camps in the NFL is like, if you're a rookie, they don't even put your name on the back of your jersey. Like, when I was in New England, they give the rookies trash numbers.

You know what I mean? Now we got in college guys with social media handles on the back of their jerseys. It's just fucking lame. Dude, it's going to, it's going to make things harder on NFL, block rooms and culture and coaches when these guys are coming up like, bro, I had my fucking social media tag on my back. and you're not letting me untuck my shirt. Bro, I got a hundred thousand followers, bro.

I'm not carrying your shoulder pads. I would like to have seen your handle Butter King, one on each butt cheeks. See, that's good branding. Yeah. Just, no, it would just be, you know, the girls have the juicy couture, like velour pants where it says juicy on the cheeks. Mine would just be butter. Okay, I just thought of some, you're pretty funny with that fucking comment, but I thought,

of something while you're saying it. And here's what I thought of. What's going to stop these players from putting other advertisements on their on their jerseys? Oh, yeah. Like if you're real smart, like, if I want to get Hooters to pay me a million dollars and I put Hooters, coach, is that okay?

No, that's not okay. What's the difference? Why is it not okay? Like, the point of putting my, is so that I can profit and my brand can profit. What if I just want to make money? It's not about my brand. And I want to put Hooters.

or kinkos on my phone. I put my only fans handle on the back of my jersey. What if a guy wants to put his O.F. On there. And he's doing weird glory hole shit. Here's 40, like, if you're Travis Hunter, who's the guy that had the cheap shot on him last year?

Oh, yeah. Put his handle on the back of your day, kid. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's some real 40 chest. We are in Nebraska now with quarterback Dylan, Ryola, he showed up to camp looking exactly like Patrick Mahomes. He's got the glasses. He's got the

haircut. He's got the facial hair. He said he wants to mimic and copy everything Mahomes does. They train with the same coach. They're friendly. Is this news or not news? It's kind of news. Because yesterday I saw this picture and I scroll past it and in my brain it was like, oh, there's my homes. And then I just didn't even think about it. Like, even when I found out that it wasn't my homes, I just was kind of like, oh, that's, I didn't think anything about it. And then once you realize it's actually a good player and the son of a guy who used to be a dog at center, like he was fucking pained in the ass, bro. It was an asshole. And I got nothing against the guy. That was his job. Like, but it's so funny that he's made

this super skilled quarterback. And what's crazy is that the guy has perfectly modeled himself after Patrick Mahomes. I want to hear, I want to hear an audio clip of what this dude sounds. like though because you i mean you hear a you hear mohams talk and it's very distinct he's got that distinct voice you know what i mean i'm wondering if he's modeling is his uh you know his voice after mohams as well that'll only be two two packs of american uh spirits a day for the next 10 years if you want to sound like mahomes and i don't think he rips any sigs but he's just got that voice did you see the raiders uh like dumbasses were passing around a kermit the frog uh mahooms Holmes jersey puppet.

And they were making fun of his voice. And then like less than 24 hours later, they're like, hey, Patrick, did you see this thing? He's like, it'll get a handle when it'll get handled. I was like, oh, fuck, it's getting handled. It's getting handled. You know what's fucked up is like somebody will do that shit. And I don't know who is doing that shit. But it's probably like a DB who won't even be there when they get trapped.

It'll be like November. And they'll be like, what the fuck was that? kid doing he's on like the commander's practice he's like watching the game he's like that's my fault anyways here's an interview with dylan riolla i think the biggest thing is is catching up to the speed of the game players are moving faster the level of competition is a lot a lot better no that ain't my home uh-uh yeah he's got to work on that

he's got a ways to go we got to get him some linguistic coaching oh we just got to get us some siggies Let's send the show with our favorite guy. Come on, everybody. Get out! Get out! Get out! Get up! Get up! All right, perfect. Next one is just for like something like that. Why are you so? I got to be on you! I got to be on here! I got to be on there! Perfect.

Oh my God, bro. I would rather be on the trolley train, dying an amount of times than in a room with people watching this show in the Florida. Oh my God. This is like his fucking Super Bowl, bro. I've never, ever seen a head coach, like, care more about media attention and like, uh, bro, I can't. It's hard to watch.

It like hurts me inside. Do they have the golden axe right now? It's not the golden axe. It's Paul Bunyan's axe. Do they have Paul Bunyan's axe? I don't want to fucking talk about it. Oh, that guy has Paul Bunyan's eggs. No, I think,

I think Wisconsin has it. Wisconsin won 2814 last year. Yeah, we won 2814, but they've, they've gotten it over, you know, over the last couple years, they've gotten it. And I just, it fucking bothers me. I do not like PJ Fleck. Why don't I hear you? You know what Chris, you know when they like, you do the media stuff?

Like, I signed in New England and I went, they're like, we're trying to get me to do that kind of stuff. I was like, oh, yeah. You guys got the wrong fucking guy. Now, pump the crowd up. The worst is they'll have these, they'll have these like artistic. types come in who I have nothing against, but this is football. So they don't really know, like, the stances and, like, the things that we would do. And they're like, do a Superman stance.

I'm like, what the fuck is that? Like, you know what I mean? Like, yeah. Or get down low and, and, you know, get ready to tackle somebody or I had one guy. He's like, now do your, do your sack celebration. I'm like, motherfucker. I got two career sacks. My ass is on the bench. I'm going to down. What the fuck you're talking about? Do you want to help me decide what it is? Yeah. You tell me what it is, bro. Honestly, it's a red flag. The guys that are really good at that is a red flag. Agreed.

That's such a good point. Yes, Chris. 100%. And it looked like PJ Fleck was loving every single second of that, which I just cannot stand. I don't like it. Like, it's college football, man. The kids call that cringe, Chris. The kids call it cringe.

That shit was mid, fam. You know who's not mid. You know who's not mid? DJ Moore. Not mid at all. Not mid. Far from it. He's been a baller since he was in Carolina playing for Matt Rule.

Now he's free. Dude. DJ Moore's based fan. He's based and he's going to be joining us. You're kind of based with some of your takes today. The base God, Beau. Base God. BGB.

BGB. BASED pod. based god hey y'all green light has official merch like this hat right here like the one on my head is dad hat love this hat i'm not even a dad hat guy but this thing fits great this this hat right here fits great uh we've got hoodies we've got tea by the way this hoodie's like super comfy i mean it's like soft plush it's not the type of hoodie that's going to get stiff with one wash uh and the shirts too because like I'm a big comfort guy okay you got like this white shirt here you got the shirt with the logo the abbey road looking logo with dr. fax smoking uh presumably a blunt

kyle carrying cowboy reed making driveling a basketball which i've never seen him actually do and me carrying a football uh and then you've got the the black shirt here too with the logo so uh stickers hit the link in the description in the video uh below the video actually uh and and make sure to tag us on social media showing off your green light merch. It's quality, quality threads here, okay? Wouldn't do it any other way. All right. Welcome into the show, DJ Moore.

Now, somebody off camera just said 110 mil. I didn't even see the numbers, man. How did it feel waking up today with the deal done and all your hard work paying off? It felt amazing. When I put the ink to that paper, it just felt amazing because I've seen the numbers. I was like, dang, all the hard work is paying off. And getting to just do, it was amazing. Is it also nice to know you don't have to play in the Hall of Fame game?

You can sign your deal, put on a boxer, get some seed. It's going to, yes, that's going to be some good times watching everybody else play and eating the seeds is the best part. Yeah, dude, grabbing an uncrustable on the way out from halftime. What? Hot dogs, hamburgers. Yes, best part. just posting up watching the younger guys play.

Who are you excited to see play out of the rookies and the young guys? Probably our running backs. They've been doing a heck of a job in camp. Our young receivers have been doing good, so I'm ready to see both of those skill positions. Yeah. What do you think, man, like, because at the end of last season, I know the quarterback's different.

I was a big fan of Justin's, but you see the talent that Caleb has, and I've heard you talk about, you know, what he can do for you guys, but what area do you think improves the most for you guys? and I thought you guys were a playoff team by the end of last season, but where's the part of y'all's game that you think is going to take the next step that you're excited to see?

Probably the play action game. We're going to have the running game with DeAndre and all those guys going crazy. And the play action game, going to have me, Keenan, Rome, to worry about. And you can't double one of us because the other two is going to go crazy home. Do you think the play action, like, reppping that as an all? offense. What are the kind of underrated challenges of getting guys on the same page? Or is it just the quarterback being comfortable turning his back to defense? Like what's some of the smaller details that y'all have to get right to add that to your repertoire? Just making everything

look like run or making it feel like a pass play. It depends on how the game is going. If we are doing the pass heavy and then that's going to open up the run game. But if the run game is going good, We know that past game going to bring down the safeties, and we're going to have shots over the top. So just marrying it together. Is Shane somebody who that's important to, or is that just something that comes with having a quarterback and Caleb who can do that stuff and tying it in with which you guys already do really well? That's a little of both. You know, we're going to right now. We're going into, I want to say, like, our, like, Tim Install.

So it's pretty hectic. The Playbook is a. got a lot in it. And I'm looking forward to seeing how you put it all together. And Caleb is getting it downpac fashioning. I did when I was a rookie. So I'm excited to see it all come together. Is there a throw that you've seen him make so far in practice that you're like, yeah, he's that guy?

Yeah, it was like a sidearm, like, around a defender to like a flat route. And I was like, whoa. Like, I've seen it on tape. I was just like, dang, that's different. Yeah, the arm angle stuff, dude. Yeah. It's incredible. The other quarterback I wanted to ask you about was Tyson Bajent.

I loved his press conference the other day where he was talking about his off-season workouts. Did you see this thing, what he did? Yeah. I seen one of his videos where he was doing, what's it, he was lifting up tires and stuff like that, coming off the wall. When you got a big dad, like him. Have you seen his dad in the time? Yeah, I've seen his dad. Yeah. When you got a dad like that, he's probably doing all types of crazy shit, but he said that him and his buddy were doing, it was a mile straight of burpees. Yeah.

Up downs. Yeah, he told me that. So is he in shape like that? Yes, he's in shape like that. You wouldn't be able to tell, but he's in shape like that. You wouldn't be able to tell? Yeah. Okay. Romadunze, new guy. People, made a big deal out of him and you guys obviously you just laid it out you keen in him if he can take that step it's going to be scary what do you see from him how would you describe his game to people who haven't seen the drill work or he runs he's just smooth like he's he's like a sponge he's always asking me and keenan questions uh if he mess up he tried to go back and fix it uh as soon as possible like he's just like smooth and like he's already kind of polished to the point where you know

you just got to go into real small details with him. And I heard he's returning punts. Ooh, I have seen him. Yeah. I've seen him back there. I don't know if we're going to do it. Yeah. But if we need a explosive play, I think he'll go back there.

Would you return kickoffs if they told you, yeah, go back there and return kickoffs with the new rule? Yeah, they could do that. They just have to add on some extra incentives or money. Yeah, dude. No, honestly, because it is like a whole other skill. set. Yeah, especially with the new rule when everybody is just five yards away and you could just run around them.

Yeah, we got to redo that contract then. All right. Who's the most underrated player on that Bears defense? There's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of guys who you could answer this question with, but I'm curious what you think. On the defense? Yeah. Underrated?

I probably say T.J. T. He's always around the ball and always making the little details and plays that nobody sees. I don't know how the Eagles let him walk. You know, I thought him last year and Montez coming on, it was scary. That Minnesota game, I keep talking about that Minnesota game, but they were balling that game, dude. It was just like, if y'all could put it together at the same time. It was scary.

I'm telling you, man. another team of yours jonathan owens he's in paris right now are you jealous do you guys hit him up and be like what the fuck are you doing in paris man we have nine on seven we got no we haven't been messing with him uh i know he was out there supporting his wife uh what she did amazing and everybody was watching so uh kudos to them uh i know he'll be back ready to work so can't wait for me to get back and tell the stories week one you get the titans and i just had to ask this, you're getting Legerius Sneed. Now, I don't know who's he's going to be traveling with or I'd be an incredible matchup with you and him, but I love that dude's game.

And I don't know if you look at the top 100. He wasn't in the top 100. Is that a surprise to you? That is a definite surprise. After, I know you had a good, good season against top players, I grew to myself. So it was, I was surprised. That was a surprise. That was a surprise. for me. When you look at the schedule, is the first thing you look at which corners are you going to get? No, I don't really look at the schedule. Whoever pops up that week is when we play

and I'll study them then, but looking ahead is and I think. So do you have since you're a newer guy in Chicago, like, and you've been in Carolina and is it hard when you get up there to learn to hate the Packers and hate

the Vikings? You know what I mean? When I came to Philly, bro, I didn't hate, like, I just didn't hate the Cowboys like everybody hated the Cowboys. Yeah. Beat them. But do you know what I mean by that? Is it hard to be able to get your head when it's not the division you came up in? I think it was easy because my daughter started hating the Packers first as soon as we got here.

She was all on board on not liking the Packer, so I was like, dang, she don't like him. So now it's for real, we don't like them. So in the house, we do not like the Packers. Have you seen their new, I was going to actually, this works well. Have you seen their white helmet they're coming out with? No, but we need one. Oh. I hadn't thought about that.

I was going to give you a chance to roast their outfit. No, I haven't seen there. So no. Okay. Yeah, no, no. So speaking of Philly, because I just told you about, like, I'm a lover of all things, Philly after my couple years there. And one of my producers who went to Archbishop Wood asked me to ask me.

Does Ryan Bates give you shit for the 2014 District Championship between Archbishop Wood and I'matov Charter? Yeah. We actually was just talking about it today. And yesterday he said DJ has never beat me, which is very true. So it's true. That's good, man. And then the nice little Philly nucleus, because you got the St. Joe's, Rep Stored, Jay Swift, joining you guys.

So there's a bunch of Philly dudes on that team. Yeah, I grew up with Dre. We played on the same 7017, ran track and everything. So I seen Dre grow up, and he's a pleasure to have. That's like my little brother for me. You know what I told him when I met him in Vegas? I said, you were the coolest-looking fucking Eagle, maybe, of all time, with the visor and the zero.

And the way he had that outfit. I mean, the swag. The swag was incredible. And the Eagles uniform is one of those unies you can do that too. So is the Bears. I think y'all got one of the best uniforms in the league and the white helmet thing. You need the white helmets. You'll take that up to chain of command.

The last one. And man, I've watched you in Carolina and I was like, get this guy out of here. Like, you know, I want to see you somewhere else. And I know sometimes it could have been frustrating. That play against Atlanta, I know you guys lost in the game. Yeah. take me through what was

is that a memory you look back on you're like bro that was a moment that was a moment definitely a moment in history for me I knew we had BJ back there

so I was like all right I got to get off the ball but then I didn't know the play was still going on so when I looked up I just seen the ball in there so I just started

tailing it to the ball and I'm glad I looked like I dove a little bit to get there so I was happening And the rest of his history, you got the flag and all that out. The helmet coming off, yes, that was a staple. That was part of it, though.

Yes, the helmet, the helmet coming off, that was just a reaction. The game should have been over, but, you know. I agree. Wait, didn't they back it up and then the, they missed that? They backed it up. Yes. Yes. Are you kind of like, bro, I need to get at the kicker, bro.

It stopped me. Yeah, it wasn't me. But everybody, I take the blame for it, so that's cool. I don't care. That was a hell of a moment. You are where you are now, man. All right, cool. Well, what kind of goals do you have for yourself in the offense?

Maybe you're not a goal guy, but do you guys, when you get together and talk, you talk about the play action, but are there certain metrics that you guys are like, if we can hit these this year, we're going to be rolling. Probably right now is just no turnovers. That's the biggest thing. Whoever got the ball got to take care of it. So whether it's the quarterback throwing the ball, us catching the ball, making sure nobody picks it off or,

Just no fumbles. Like, that's the big thing this year. And we need to stick to it on offense because that's really our goal throughout camp right now. DJ more joining us. Chicago Bears, a lot of firepower. Should be fun to watch this year. DJ, I hope you come back on. By the way, I just pulled up.

Yes. Actually, it looks very good. Yes, you need that. But I like the one they got Tariq Cowan in up there, the throwback. That throwback. Yeah, the throwbacks are cool. Yeah, it looks sweet. DJ, have a great year, man.

I'll help you come back another time after when. Man, thank you.
