And then Chris making Nate run through some training camp injury updates, talk to Christian Wilkins story, look at some famous old NFL pictures,
Starting point is 00:01:44 and analyze a couple videos from training camp. We go deep on these. What they could mean, we got Bryce Young, Jackson, Darden, and Malik neighbors. It's a great episode and even bring back the tape measure. Enjoy it, and we'll catch you next week. All right, we got a jam pack show for you. We're trying to get into football shape.
Starting point is 00:02:26 That's what we're doing. Trying to get in football shape is that time of the year. Got all the boys in studio today. We got Nate, Macon, Nolan's on Zoom, Tanner, Cowboy Reader here. And we had a lot of fun. But the best part of this show is the interview today. Toran Armstead, recently retired, standout tackle, pro bowl tackle, five times pro bowl, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:02:50 and I got to tell you like you know when these interviews come across my desk I'm usually excited to talk to a player because they're usually a lot of fun you never know what you have in common with guys but there were a couple moments in this interview where I was like man this is the fucking best interview we've had all summer dude this guy Toronto Armstead I was a fan of him before I'm an even bigger fan after interviewing him I didn't even know he's from St. Louis East St. Louis way till you get to that part in the pod guy played against guy respect lot recently retired. There's a lot that he can say now that he didn't say when he's a player. And we had a great conversation. So we moved that thing up to the front of the pod. Enjoy that one. And on the back half, we're going to talk about Christian Wilkins. We're going to talk about some viral videos from training camp, some injury updates, have a little fun, get you out of here. How does that sound? But Taran Armstead is first. I'm telling you, this interview was a lot of fun for us to do. Enjoy. All right. So now we've got newly retired. five-time pro-bowler, one of the great offensive tackles of our generation.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Tiran Armstead joining the show. He's got one of his Pro Bowl jerseys behind him. He's got his accolades, and now he's newly retired, bro. I just wanted to say this. A ton of respect for you. You were a great player, and it was also a lot of fun to watch you go out on your terms a little bit. Like, you were still playing really well towards the end, and I know there were some injuries and that sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:04:15 But, like, man, a lot of respect and congratulations on the next chapter starting. I appreciate it, brother. Thank you, man. Thank you for sure. Definitely was important to me to try to play well my film to look a certain way. You know, I never wanted to be out there getting my ass whooped or it were to be like, hey, this guy needs to hang it up. Like, nope. When I'm out there, we're getting it.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Dude, and you did. And the funniest thing you said was, and everybody probably comes up to you now. I almost put my Zoom, or we're on the Riverside, not Zoom, but I almost put my name in here. as Jared Verse just to fuck with you. Oh my God. When you said that, everybody kind of has that game or that player that they're like, damn, bro, like, it's their turn.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Like, it's definitely, like, I'm still good, but like, this next generation's serious. Like, was that, that was the game for you, huh? Yeah, he was, um, I mean, I've had, I've had a few throughout the last, maybe three years of guys that's just like, young, strong, fast, twitchy. And it's just like the evolution of the athlete to where I'm like, yeah, I'm not going. Micah was first.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Michael was the first one that when our first time I played Micah, just seeing him run was like, this is different, like alien. And I've seen great players. I've seen explosive player. Micah's for his size and the way that he moves. He's a blur. So he was the first one for me to be like, Like, the evolution of the athlete is just like, I'm about to get out these boys weight.
Starting point is 00:05:55 For real. I got to get out their way. I think for me it was hitting Quentin Nelson. I can see that. I can see that. I can see that. No, I can see that. It's the same thing, though.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Same thing for you. I'm sure you see some O-Lahman that were like just no fat, 6,6, 350, just, you know what I mean? It's the evolution of the athlete. I'm cool. I'm cool on all that, Chris. who was um you know because you were talking about jared's bull rush and that's obviously the thing that you know like that's his fastball yeah you know like how some guys fastball is going to be speed or whatever but like everything for him's going to come off that like who in your career was the king
Starting point is 00:06:35 of the bull rush like who were some guys that you were like damn dude that they really do pack a punch like maybe more than i saw in film ever since griffin we had a lot of we had a lot of one-on-ones Everton, Everton Griffin's bull rush was serious. It was serious. I always felt like I had a really good anchor. So some people bull rushed that was like, on film I see him bull rush, then I'm able to anchor. They're pushing me back, but it's not like flushing back to the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Everton was, he was the one that would give me a couple bull rushes. Oddly enough, Trey Hendrickson, oddly enough, because Trey came in as a, speed guy, hand swipe guy, he's developed a bull rush that is not to be played with at all. He borewashed me in the red zone. We're playing Cincinnati
Starting point is 00:07:32 in 22, my first year in Miami. It's a three-step drop. He bull rushed me before a tour caught the ball. It was so fast, how fast he pushed me back to the quarterback. And it was crazy to see that because I was teammates for trade for four years. And that wasn't his game. So to see him grow and develop and add that to his
Starting point is 00:07:54 toolbox, his bullrush is serious. Dude, I remember being, um, playing y'all. I can't remember when, but like this young kid comes up, he's like, let me get the jersey. And he's like, this little white guy and he's like, he's got, you got my number and shit. Or like, he's wearing 91, I think at that point. I can't remember. But I didn't know enough about him because he came out of Florida Atlantic and he was an early pick, but my question, and I had this written down to ask you, was like, did you know, and maybe he wasn't a bulwresh guy and he developed as a player, but could you see evidence that he was going to become who he became when he was young in New Orleans? That's tough, Chris, because I can easily say yes.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Like, I had the foresight, you know what I mean? But I saw talent, no question, no question about that. I saw talent, saw a elite athlete. And you see Trey, he looked like a librarian. So you don't necessarily, you know, look at him and see elite athlete. But you see a move, elite athlete. He's a four, maybe even high four, four a guy.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Honestly, like Trey can run that fast. He is. He's a four or five, maybe even high four, four guy. And he would, he, he, came in so braggadocious. So he would win against a backup tackle or whatever
Starting point is 00:09:19 and he's so loud about it. He'll pop his shit. So he had early success. But then me and Ramshak you know, at practice, we, we wasn't having too much of it.
Starting point is 00:09:32 And he's sitting behind Cam Jordan and Marcus Davenport. So he's not really getting a chance to rush as much. But when he's when he was in you're going to get his 1,000% every rep. You're going to get a thousand percent for him. So when he was able
Starting point is 00:09:47 to get into the lineup, break the line up and he was able to play, I was not surprised by his production. Yeah, no, it's one of those things you can see the light bulb go off for him and sometimes when you're behind two really good players like that, and especially Cam, you're just kind of an afterthought.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And, man, and coincidentally, he showed up to camp this week. They might get that deal done up in Sincis. So good for him. I hope he gets a big bag because, you know, at that age, you need, you need all of it you can get. You know, you don't know when the next one's coming. So, but the other one was you mentioned Cam Jordan. I was going to ask you how Cam's bull rush compared to verse because I've seen Cam run down some of these people shit without even like, without even like an illusion of I'm going to do anything else.
Starting point is 00:10:35 You know what I mean? No, that's a fact. That's a fact. And this is the, this is the unique thing about verse bore rush. and why I was giving them praise is you see Cam George, you see that. Like Cam is 6, 5 to 90.
Starting point is 00:10:52 You can see that from Cam. You see him being a big physical man, and he's pushing people back. But the way, when I was studying Jared Verst, before I played the Rams, the amount of people that was, the back of their jersey is dirty. Like he's running.
Starting point is 00:11:11 running people over, bro, at a way more frequent rate than I really have ever seen. For real. So I was excited to play him. And when the first pass of the game, he hit me with a bull race. And I start laughing. I'm like, damn, that's crazy. It's legit, huh? It's crazy that he really got, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:34 It don't hurt. You don't feel nothing? It's just like, you're moving backwards. It's pretty cool. Well, you just hurt my feelings a little bit because I didn't. realize Trey ran a 4-5 and and it reminded me of the fact that you ran a faster 40 than me at the combine. You ran a 471.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I read that last night doing my little research and I said, what the fuck? What you? What you run? I don't even want to tell you, T. Come on, man. 477. Hey, me and Lane got you. Me and Lane got you.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Oh, Elaine definitely. Lane's a freak show, dude. He's a total freak show. Were you the same year as Lane? Same class. I ran 471, he ran 472. Same day. You motherfuckers, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:19 You guys, the evolution of the position. What'd you say? I'm telling you, bro. Telling you, it's crazy. Yeah, Lane's a beast, man. You know, this whole protector of the year thing, it feels like there's a couple names that are like the shoe-ins to be in that discussion. I would put Lane up there, Sue.
Starting point is 00:12:39 My Lada. I'm sure I'm forgetting some people. Who do you think? doesn't get enough credit as being an elite tackle in today's game. It's a lot, man. I love the position that the position is in. So I feel like it's well represented. Still got Trent, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yeah, Trent, obviously, yeah. Trent is in year 36. He's still at the top of that list. Larry Tunsell, I don't feel like he's ever got the notoriety that he's at, that he has earned, really. Maybe because they haven't won much down in Houston when he was there for so many years. And he's been to some Pro Bowls,
Starting point is 00:13:20 but the dude has put together some All-Pro campaigns. Dionne Dawkins, he's one of the biggest advocates of Protector of the Year, and he has been stellar. He can be, Rashon Slater, just signed the biggest deal in all-line history. He'll be another name on that list. So it's loaded, man.
Starting point is 00:13:41 It's loaded. Ronnie Stanley, going back to form Andrew Thomas, getting back healthy in New York. It's loaded. It's loaded. I love it. The issue, my issue is I don't want it to just be an automatic tackle award. You know what I mean? It's some great guards, great centers in the game as well.
Starting point is 00:14:02 So we've got to find a way to kind of open that bag up a little more. That's a very good point. I didn't even think about it that way. I mean, like, yes, it kind of, the first thing people, people think of is the guys that get paid the most and the tackles, but some damn good guards. Okay, so I didn't even mean to get into the bull rushing off the top with you. It's just we get in here. We start talking pass rush and pass protection. I wanted to talk to you about how you feel now in August for the first time. Because I remember this feeling when I got out of the game, you got that dark cloud that hangs over you like in July.
Starting point is 00:14:36 When everybody's like hanging out and having a good time, you're like, I got to go to fucking work. And you know what that means. And for the longest time, I didn't really enjoy my summers late in the summer, but now, like, you're getting to feel what August is about. What's it about, man? Are you enjoying kind of sitting there and watching the guys on NFL network and not being out there in the heat? I'm so at peace.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So happy. Chris, my birthday is July 23rd. Happy belated? Appreciate you. Appreciate you. It's always right at that cusp. of reporting day. So that dark cloud
Starting point is 00:15:15 that you spoke of, like there's no celebrating there's no trip, there's no, I'm going to go to training camp, I'm going to go through the worst month of my life. Yeah. You know, so this year for my birthday, I didn't do anything. Didn't do shit. But it was great. Yeah. I didn't have to report. I didn't have to do a conditioning test.
Starting point is 00:15:32 It was great. Oddly enough, I'll be at Dolphins training camp tomorrow. You're going to go. I'll be out there tomorrow for two days, stopping in with them guys, doing a little consultant. with the with the dolphins working with some of the other guys so oh nice be out there for a couple days man then I'm out yeah yeah just checking on you boys man that's it that's it y'all be easy dude I'll see you in a I'll see you at the opener well that's great man and the
Starting point is 00:15:59 funniest thing is like one of the things I picked up doing since I stopped playing was I mean I used to play a lot of video games but the last couple years I've been playing madden a lot and I'll sit up there in my little man cave at night and you know i'm a little bit stoned and i'm playing madden and and i've been listening to this song with mexican o t yeah and and this and this other guy yeah and this this other guy he's fucking he's got some skills man and i'm like who is this guy and then i'm doing the research for this show and i'm like that was turan on that track with mexican o t on madden bro it's me it's me i got five songs on there actually Five.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Five? I'm going home and playing Madden 24. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I did that deal with Interscope. Me, Melvin Angram, Darren Waller, Rayward McLeod, DJ Chart. So I have five songs on there.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I think those guys, everybody else had like three, four. We collab with Interscope. It was, man, for me, I grew up playing Madden. Like, that's how I learned football. I learned, like, the terminology of football. how to see coverages and everything. Like Madden is a real educator. I want people to know that.
Starting point is 00:17:13 So to be able to do that after putting out music independently, my music used to play in a Superdome when you guys come down, when you were with Philly. You were here. You'll hear me. You just didn't know. I didn't know it. I didn't know it.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I didn't know. I would be playing in a Superdome every week. And so, yeah, to do that, to do that soundtrack with Interscope and Madden was a dream, truly, like a dream. I love music, love football. all of mad. Like, it was just, man, it was, it was amazing. So did you grow up in Texas?
Starting point is 00:17:45 You grew up in Texas, yeah? Oddly enough, Chris Long. I am from East St. Louis, Illinois. So I've been a Chris Long fan for a long time, bro. You're from the East Side, dude? Yeah, so when you were in St. Louis, like, I'm cheering for you, like, for real. Dude, you're the man.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Hey, I used to go. I used to, I used to be over there a lot of times on Saturday, on Sunday nights. I'm sure. Dude, not that you would know about the pink slipper bottoms up. Come on now, right down the street. Yeah, right down the street, dude. Okay, so then what kind of music did you, what kind of music did you grow up listen to? Because I was going to say, if you grew up in Texas, you might like, you know, Texas rappers or like, what was it for you?
Starting point is 00:18:27 Nellie was the hottest shit in the world, you know, growing up for sure. Was that around the time you were in St. Louis when Nelly was like? No, no, bro, this is going to make you, I mean, I distinctly remember. when country grammar came out and that album was awesome. I can't remember the name of the album, but I think I was 13, 14 years old. It was a country grammar. Wow.
Starting point is 00:18:47 And so I was playing AAU baseball on the bus with like, I think I had a CD in like a disc man, dude. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome, man. So now who do you like? Like who are some of the artists that you kind of gravitate towards? I'm a huge fan of future. Huge, huge fan, huge one.
Starting point is 00:19:07 fan, huge Wayne fan. I was probably like my two guys. Wayne's their catalog, they can't do no wrong. A lot of the younger talent too, like my kids listen to a lot of the music that I get into. But I'm a fan of guys that I know personally, I've seen them work. Yeah. And I have become fans of the way that they craft their music. G.J.J.I.D. Skillab Baby, Rob 4-9. Derek Milano. Like, I've been in the studio with them guys. I see how much goes into and like how serious they are about their craft.
Starting point is 00:19:40 So, uh, man, fans for sure. Big fan. Dude, you're like, uh, I was starting to add it up. You're like one of the five rappers that we've had on this show. We had, we had, we had Ice Cube. We had, who else do we have? We had Freddie Gibbs. I'm a huge Freddie Gibbs fan.
Starting point is 00:19:54 No, that's hard. So if you know, like, if you listen to new Freddie Gibbs with Alchemists, like, that's the production now, like, I grew up on like New York rap. So I like a lot of samples and all that shit, but I love Freddie Gibbs. Who else do we have on here? Oh, Maxo Cream. Do you ever meet Maxo? Because he's got some tracks with Mexican OT.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I haven't met Maxo. Okay. Well, dude, you probably used to hang out with Wayne a little bit in New Orleans. I know he's a Packers fan. He said quite a few times. Same quite a few times. Yeah. Quite a few time.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Seemed. It's crazy. You said Ice Cube first. You could have left it there. Cube's the man, dude. That was a great. He was a great guest, too. Oh, bad.
Starting point is 00:20:32 All the rappers are, man. But we got to talk some football, man. We got to talk, or people are going to be like, what is this? So I want to talk about New Orleans first because, you know, if you break your career into chapters, that's the longer one, right? And you guys just had such a great program there. You had such a great offensive line. You mentioned Ramchak.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You had a way of doing things. And we've had Sean on the show before. And the funny story about Sean is, like, he came on. I was like, how much time you got? He's like, oh, I got some time. I'm driving across Louisville. Louisiana. I'll just like, we'll go for a while. Two hours. I talked to Sean. No way. This is, are his team meetings a little lengthy? I love that dude, bro. Yeah. His team, no, his team
Starting point is 00:21:18 mean, bro. Sean Payton team means 90 seconds. What do you think the key to the culture was there? If you had to describe like what the Saints were about in, in Sean's heyday there, which you were a part of, what do you think? It started with him. It did. It started with Sean and his demand every day. Yeah. It was hard. It was it was tough. He's a he's a bill Bill Parcell's guy so Sean Payton Bill Belichick. Those are two like I know they they have a lot of commonality. Yeah. But he's a his demand every day for you to to get up for the day like you have to prove this shit every day like so that standard I think having that as the floor and then them being very
Starting point is 00:22:06 particular about who they brought into the building. So he would say this shit all the time, the right 53. I'm not looking for the most talented 53 though, the fastest 53, looking for the right 53. So character guys, you know, people that that's focused on the right things. And man, for a while we had that. We did. We really feel like we had the right culture, the right locker room. We enjoyed being around each other on and off the field. We wanted to win for each other. it truly does suck that we didn't get a chance to compete for a Super Bowl. 2017-2018, those two seasons, the Minnesota Miracle and 17, and then the no call, the no-possomference call in 2018. I think that's the best team to not win a Super Bowl, and at least the Saints error for sure.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Yeah. Man, it was great, man, it was great, but it came down to that, like the King. character of guys that was in the room, in the locker room, in the building, and just holding each to that standard every day. And not to mention Drew Brie's, like, he is, he was the standard, his preparation and how he went about his business. You see this man, you have to go full throttle. Yeah, the one thing that struck me about y'all's teams is they were always physical and they had a little edge. And, but, but while being able to do the finesse stuff, right? Like, when you think about the Saints, you think about Drew Brie's, you think about a bunch of points.
Starting point is 00:23:36 you think about like all that stuff but y'all could still always run the ball you were physical your defense was physical like it felt like everybody was pretty like-minded and then you i wouldn't have brought this up except you said you're from east st louis you remember james larynitis oh for sure when he came there for for a year and james called me he's like man this training camp is a motherfucker dude oh it's crazy it's different it's different bro took took years off my football. I, yeah. The heat alone, like, and I, and James, he was in St. Louis for a long time, so it's a lot of humidity back home. Yeah, we know. Yeah, it's hot there, right? Yeah. And, and I just did the last three training caps of Miami. It's humid down here. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:23 But the, the, the moisture is coming from the ocean. So you get some, some wind. You get, you know what I mean, some quality water. Yeah. The moisture in New Orleans is. is coming from the swamp. Yes. It's no wind. It's no like, it's just, it's thick.
Starting point is 00:24:42 It's so hot. New Orleans is the hottest place in the world. That's Egypt, Dubai included. It don't matter what you, it's the hottest place in the world.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Is this a feeling you get or is this a fact? No, it's chat. GPD. That's so good. No, I'll take your word for it, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:02 I'm not even going to Google it. Dog. The, I was so hot down there and then not to mention Sean being how he was. Pool pads every day. Like, let's get it. Let's go get. We're tackling to the ground.
Starting point is 00:25:17 We're competing. If the defense do better than the offense, the offense got to run sprints after practice, it's vice versa. So every day, Chris, I'll give you a little insight, backstory.
Starting point is 00:25:30 It's my first or second year. And we, we, are in full pads. A lot of you not probably seven days in a row. And the CBA says that every four days, or three days, every three days or four days,
Starting point is 00:25:50 you have to get a day off. Players get a day off. And so some of the leaders on the team, Drew Brees, Ben Watson, Marcus Colston, Cam George, they push back. Hey, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:08 Like we didn't already did day four or five. We were supposed to get a day off. That supposedly the NFLPA calls down to New Orleans and Sean gets the call calls the team meeting
Starting point is 00:26:24 went off, snapped. Like y'all want to call the, you don't have the NFL PIN. I was going to be pissed off that we need an off day, like pissed. Can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Yeah. you're complaining about an off day I was going to take care of you on the back end that's what he said I was gonna I was in 10 days I was gonna take you to the movies we were gonna roll the we're gonna roll the jugs machine out make Tehran catch a punt
Starting point is 00:26:55 we were gonna see a movie in 10 days I had that plan you motherfucker listen no lie bro no lie and he was and it wasn't a punishment though like Sean he really he loved the work he loved to like
Starting point is 00:27:11 really go after it, see who want to compete, see who want to be out here. And that was him. Well, I feel like that's where Dan got a lot of his, Campbell, got a lot of his stick. You know, like, I mean, he's a different guy. Like, they're all different guys, but I feel like his time with Sean. Definitely, like, bled into the way they work in camp and that sort of thing. Like, I do think there's, like, a happy medium. If you could find the happy medium between today's camp and, like, two CBAs ago,
Starting point is 00:27:40 like, we don't need two a day. Right. But we got to put our hands on people. You know, like, and I do think line play is diminished a little bit because of that. Do you get that sense that like some of the younger offensive linemen come in the league and there's the college game is different now, so they're not running pro systems, then they get in the league and they're not practicing as long? Do you think it, like, is it a little steeper for young players or am I imagining that? No, I'm on board with you.
Starting point is 00:28:11 A thousand percent. I think that, especially in the trenches, like, that's, our, our game is built on reps. It's technique, and you have to see it. You have to see it work. You have to see your hand swipe in the timing of it. I have to see if I can land this outside hand or inside hand. Like, I need reps to do it. Yeah. And so with, like with Sean's training camps, I wouldn't change nothing. I appreciate it. Every time he made us go out there full paths, by the time the game came and the season came around, I was, bro, I was. I was. I felt great. I felt very confident in my skill set and my technique because I've repped it so many times at that point. And to your point, I think it is. I think it is kind of slowing down the development and the technique because of the lack of reps and lack of experience. It is hard to find that, the happy medium, like you say. You don't need two of days, but
Starting point is 00:29:04 you also got to get out there. You've got to get out there and do it in order to, you know, know, I know you can do it. And for a vet like you, or even me, like late in my career, like 10 years in, eight, nine years in, like I certainly don't need as many reps as a young guy. So it becomes hard. It's like, hey, you got one practice. It's like the older guys, they don't need all these reps, the younger guys, they need a lot more reps. So it's hard to find that happy medium.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Here is my biggest question about New Orleans. This is my favorite New Orleans theme is the Marshawn Lattimore, Mike Evans. Kevin's rivalry. And what would happen around the building the week of those games? Like, would people bust Marchant's balls, like, be like, hey, bro, like, Mike's coming to town, or was it like we don't talk about it? And the beef is too real. Yeah, no, with Marshang, he is a, he's a, he's a killer, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Marshaun is a, he's a dog for real. He's a man, a few words. Yeah. So, honestly, the beef or the robbery. It's circulated from probably fandom, really, probably more so the fan basis. Marshaun didn't have a special preparation for Mike Evans at all. It was business as usual. I feel like the beef started more so Mike Evans to Marchand.
Starting point is 00:30:29 He didn't like him. And he took a couple of cheap shots at him after plays during scuffles. And then it's created. like a not they got a history but as far as um marshaun he he always felt like his matchup his his his guy was Julio yeah in that in the in the NFC South he felt like Julio Jones was the one that like you know kept him up a little later preparing yeah mike and Mike Evans is incredible for sure yeah but like I say that I think that robbery became uh bigger because of fandom and then the scuffles outside of actually playing football.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Well, us, us at home, we just like, we're just waiting. We're like, when is it going to happen? When is Mike, when is Marshaun going to drag Mike over the bench and, like, playing him? Or when is somebody going to, like, it felt like sometimes Mike would, get through a crowd of 20 people faster than I ever saw, like, to get to Marchon and vice for, like, there was like, it was just so on site, dude.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It was so on site. And maybe from a football. It is that now. It's to that point now. Yeah, which is unfortunate. It's the way it goes. But, you know, you hate to, do you have, you don't have any, you don't have any on sites or you know, did you have any robberies like this? No, I didn't, I didn't really have no smoke with nobody for real, bro.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Only thing with me is, and you guys didn't know it, you guys, you didn't know it as DLIM. Like, if you beat me, I'm coming at you neck. Like, I need my leg back. You need to get it back. So, yeah, I wouldn't say nothing. But, like, I need to, I need to, I need to play. you was like like yeah I dogged.
Starting point is 00:32:11 You need to finish somebody somewhere or you know, get somebody by a pile. Yeah, I understand. But that's O'Liman's shit. I respect that. That's totally normal. That's totally normal. No, no ill intent at all. But if you cook me, I got a pancake unit run game. I got to like, knock your hands down,
Starting point is 00:32:27 jump on your back. Like, I need to do something to make me feel good again. Well, you got, you and I were always on separate sides. Like, I might come over for a second or two and I'd hate every minute of it, I felt left-handed over there. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know for you,
Starting point is 00:32:41 like if they put you a right tackle, you'd feel funny. I would be the worst right tackling NFL history. Right? It's like guys have sides. For sure. Be the worst to ever play the game.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Yeah. Well, I don't know about all that. You're being humble, but like, you really, yeah. Terrible. People don't realize that. It's like it's,
Starting point is 00:33:01 we have preferences. Yeah. In Philly, in Philly, you moved around more. I remember we probably had probably two or three reps against each other. Playoff playoff game. We played you guys. You, Michael Bennett.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah, we had Mike, me, Fletch. Cheed. Well, no, here's what happened. Y'all beat us 47 to 7. We played like shit. We came down there, got beat by 40. We were terrible. And then we came back in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And we were like neck and neck. That was a great game. And it was the game before y'all got robbed, before you got robbed personally, too, which we got to talk about that backstory because I just found that out. But, like, y'all, we had, I hate saying we had y'all, but we were ahead. Yeah. And then y'all ran, like, y'all went for it on fourth down, fake punt, and then you went for it in the low red.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And it was just Sean's big balls, bro. He was just like, and we couldn't overcome it, bro. It was a great game, though. It was a great game. well that was that's probably my favorite playoff game in my career really that was like a it was just a great football game like I cried after the game it was my last game of my career I'm in the locker room you insensitive motherfucker you said it's one of my favorite games ever oh that's funny no you're good I don't care you know next week you know they robbed you guys what was the reaction
Starting point is 00:34:31 in the locker room like when because that was fucked up I mean that was just bad a call they had pictures of that blown call on like what the senate floor or something they like took it to like the government had their hands in this getting this thing right yeah no look bro i got i got chills and anytime i talk about this and i really i don't much because it's it i don't think i will ever truly heal from it because of what could have been and just you think about brady breeze super ball just boom that along that that could have been Belichick Champagne, boom. It was just, it was so many
Starting point is 00:35:09 storylines that could have happened. Everyone life would have been different. I think you ought to beat New England. You don't have to say that. I'll say that, though. Yeah, no, I probably would beat the shit out of it. No lie. No lie.
Starting point is 00:35:24 And that's, I really, I do. I really feel that way. It's just, it was heartbreaking, bro. It still is. Like I say, Chris, I don't think I will ever fully get over that situation. situation because you make the call, we take three knees, kick the field goal. Game's over.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And we go to the Super Bowl and to not have that opportunity after so many great teams. And bro, heartbreak. That was the first time, like, Champagne was a guy that he was never up or down. He didn't flinch. He was always, let's get on to the next type of type of coach. And that team meeting, that exit meeting was different, bro. It was like a funeral. He was, he couldn't talk.
Starting point is 00:36:17 He couldn't hold it. He couldn't put words together. No injury. Nobody exchanged jerseys. We didn't sign jerseys. We didn't take pictures. We didn't. So that 2018 team is like no memorabilia, no hugs and handshakes, hot fives.
Starting point is 00:36:33 is we it just is it's gone it's sad because because i mean and obviously like it still bugs you but like you can take it losing a game but to me that just was the clearest example in recent memory of a call just being plainly wrong and everybody knowing it and the stakes being the highest so you know i definitely feel for you on that one man it's it's tough i mean i think that's also the thing people don't realize is like this shit stays with us like whatever it is for you whatever it is for me we were talking about mark andrews today on the pod and i was saying that play last year not to compare them that play to any feeling that came out of that or anything but like that he'll think about that every day for sure and and it's just like that's the flip side of the
Starting point is 00:37:24 coin of putting the pads on and going to play is like your life can change forever you might look back at something the rest of your life with regret and in your case it's like a what the fuck feeling. Yeah, no, for sure. For sure. And the craziest,
Starting point is 00:37:38 crazy part, crazy part about it is we always say, like, it's never one play until it is. Mm-hmm. One play. It comes down to that one play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:48 And for Mark Andrews, like you say, that will live with him forever until he climbs the mountain and gets a, gets a ring. But that's so hard to do. Even with the greatest team as they have right now, Baltimore Ravens are.
Starting point is 00:38:03 loaded, my opinion. I think I would even call them the favor, in my opinion. Until they hoist the trophy and put the rings on, that play will haunt Mark Andrews. So this is a good segue into, I didn't even think about going over what we think right now in the AFC, but like that's a tough place to do business, man, in this generation of football,
Starting point is 00:38:26 because there's so many great quarterbacks. Ravens, you said it probably like from a talent standpoint on Pave, maybe the best team in the league, they haven't quite been able to get over the hump in the playoffs. I looked at y'all in Miami, and I felt like, and I'm just going to be straight up, because I got a lot of respect for you,
Starting point is 00:38:45 and you weren't the one that I was looking like, oh, he's the reason they're not, I just felt like sometimes in the big moments, the big games, y'all didn't get over the hump, and it was confusing to me because sometimes y'all would be one of the most prolific offenses all time. you know like say the Denver game or something like that but then you guys might get in the playoffs or play some of those playoff teams and it seemed like it was hard to get over the hump
Starting point is 00:39:12 yeah why do you think that was honestly bro some of it still was a mystery to me honestly sometimes i i couldn't really understand why we would struggle in certain moments when we had what we had as far as weapons and scheme and you know what I mean football is as we as we both know it's a tricky game it's a chess game and and it's matchups and tendencies and trying to take away certain things so even for this year for the for the dolphins I think for them to get over that hump tool has to be stellar he's going to have to be exceptional and then it comes down to the trenches, man. It comes down to the O-line of D-line play. So
Starting point is 00:39:59 those guys being able to protect him and then the other shot being able to affect the other quarterback. That's what it comes down to. And I think for you guys in Philly, like the D-Line was cheating. It was cheating. Well, we had a good rotation, you know?
Starting point is 00:40:18 That's insane. Yeah. But that's in the O-line is what it is. So even with them just went in Super Bowl last year, it's the same formula. That's the group. Yeah. I think for Baltimore, as we talk about them and how low that their roster is, I genuinely feel like their weakest point is their pass rush, which has been the one reason
Starting point is 00:40:35 why they haven't been able to eclipse the Chiefs and Buffalo to get to the Super Bowl. You have to have that in order to get to the big dance. I'm a big advocate of that. Like being able to affect the other team's passer. Well, you have to do it without manufacturing. It's okay to manufacture pressures and sacks through, you know, a little tinkering with scheme.
Starting point is 00:40:59 But, like, at the end of the day, you got to be able to say, hey, my four, we'll just play coverage. It's the ultimate weapon. Yep. Yep. And point taken on Baltimore, like, I think they got some guys that are developing and hopefully, like, you see, like, in O.A., take the next step. Van always done a good job late there in his career, but you can't, and now you get Ravens fans.
Starting point is 00:41:22 You forgot about Madabeeke. There's guys I'm going to forget. But I will say this. There are some guys in Miami I really like. One of them is Jaylen Phillips, and it's so unfortunate he hadn't been able to stay healthy because I think, and I told him this, I think he's one of the best rushers, young rushers in the game.
Starting point is 00:41:37 For sure. When he's healthy. For sure. And this Chop Robinson kid, he's got a shot too, huh? Different. Yeah. It's different. Chop is different.
Starting point is 00:41:45 He has the ability to be, he has the chance to be in the tier, the Von Miller tier. And I don't say that loosely. Damn. I feel like Vaughn Miller is the hardest person I ever had to block. I've ever had to prepare for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Von Miller was. Yeah. So I don't say that lightly when I say Chop. Chop has that skill set and ability. Putting it all together for sure, going through the growing pains and learning and being a student of the game. All those things that has to come with being what I just mentioned, but he's different. And if Jalen Phillips and Bradley Chubb can be out there with him, It'll happen faster, and it'll be scary.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Those three and Zach Seeler as well. Steeler, we can't forget Sealer. Yeah, Zach Seeler is a monster. Dog. So them four, man, they can generate that My Four versus U5. Like, they can do that. And I think that would be the biggest reason that the Dolphins win those close games this year. Get a chance to win the playoffs this year because of them four and what they're able to generate.
Starting point is 00:42:53 and Koh who got hurt, which is terrible news, right? Because they traded away Ramsey, although I think the Jack Jones kids got some talent, obviously. He's just not been able to put together off the field sometimes. But if y'all can get that right, that would help a lot what you've got. Minka came to town this year. So it's not all fucked up there. But I think personally, when I watch the offense with as good as the run game is, you'd love to be able to move the pocket a little bit more in my opinion and i know too has got you know he's
Starting point is 00:43:27 had some injuries and and and listen that's that's some scary shit like i'm terrified for the guy but i'd love to see a little more play extension from him that's like kind of my thing is like when the play goes more than three seconds i thought sometimes y'all might get a little bog down but i was so impressed watching the run game and i felt like i feel like mike's a great coach i've I feel like Mike's a great scheme coach at the very least. I don't know what the culture is like in the building. The reason I ask you about the New Orleans culture is because I'm wondering, what are some things you wish kind of you could take from New Orleans to Miami if you were there and did it again?
Starting point is 00:44:07 Yeah. I do think Mike is a great coach. I think he's just completely different than Sean. Yeah. But they can, both styles can work, though. I do. I feel that way too. I feel like both styles can work.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Sean and Belichick and the tough side, Dan Campbell's, you know what I mean? Like we're going to be strict and sticklers and you got to, you know, but you also got the like more open, player friendly, positive side of Pete Carroll. Yeah. Super Bowl champion, you know what I mean? So I think Mike is more under that umbrella. He, I'm going to give Mike some grace because he had an uphill battle when we all got to Miami in 202.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And early success brings expectation. So he's facing this expectation, but it's not, it's not for nothing. It should be there. You want it to be there. And Mike wants it to be there. It's not really for me to say here, I'm retired, I'm out the way.
Starting point is 00:45:08 But this is a big year, man. This is a big year for him and his regime to show that they can win those big games. That's what it comes down to. When those big games, win those games late in the season, win in January, when in February. Like that's what it comes down too. So it's really, it's just for us to,
Starting point is 00:45:24 we got to sit back and watch and see if they can get it done. I believe that they can, but my belief is in adding anything on the stats sheets. Well, dude, I had to check and make sure you played in that Kansas City playoff game, didn't she, the coldest game ever? What did it feel like? It hurt.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Everything, everything just hurt? It hurt, bro. Warmups had to be hell, dude. Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was an anomaly of a day, Chris. Yeah. So I've been in cold weather. I've been in below zero. I've been in, I played against my rookie year.
Starting point is 00:46:04 We played in Philly against Philly on the road, whatever degrees of it. It was cold. Been in plenty cold games, snow, all that. This was an inhumane. inhumane atmosphere. That's a good word. It should not have been. No football being played, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I go off with my warm-up, and I think I'm tough. So I'm no sleeves. Oh, you know, sleeves. No sleeves. I got my head-cut, head gear on. I got the scuba suit, like the sleevel suit join on.
Starting point is 00:46:38 So I'm like, yeah, man, I'm cool. I go out for the warm-up. And when I tell you, that shit, it's biting. Like, the degrees. biting my arm. It was different, bro. It was so different.
Starting point is 00:46:54 It was, it was shouldn't play. We shouldn't have played a football game that day. It really didn't. It's not a fair assessment of what we had. Yeah. And went to the playoffs with it. It was not. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:09 That was tough. That was tough. It wasn't hard to watch because, you know, I'm nice and warm on the couch. But I felt for you guys. That's it. And I personally, I love outdoor football and I love cold weather. But when I hear people getting their hands and feet amputated in the crowd, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:47:27 I understand. I understand. I understand. I'm coming around on that. I put up a good battle for the, you know, when it happened, I was like, hey, man, fuck that. that it's football. It's got to be outside.
Starting point is 00:47:36 But like, you know, now that you're on the show. Bro, negative 30. Negative 30. Oh, it's too cold. It's a little too cold. Yeah. People getting their limbs cut off. after watching the football game.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Let's avoid that. Let's avoid that. But you know who, do you remember the way Ligerius Sneed was playing at that point? Yeah. Oh my God, dude. He was out for blood and he was not cold.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Or if he was cold, he wasn't showing it. Dude, he was chucking people like into the bench. See, another thing, though, our benches didn't work. The benches didn't work. Our benches didn't work. That's so fucked up, dude. It could have been a completely different game if we're actually.
Starting point is 00:48:16 unthorn on the bench. But no, shit getting worse on the sideline. You make an interesting case here. You know, I'm coming around that the benches didn't work. Get these guys some benches. That's crazy. I wanted to ask you about a pass rusher that's in Minnesota now that I'm a big fan of. Van Ginkle, dude.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I thought, not just a pass rusher, great football player, just a football player. It's kind of the same question I'm asked about Trey, although that I asked you about Trey. like, did you see the kind of success he would have when he left? I mean, he was having success in Miami, but it's like this year he took that next step. Gink is actually a 4-4, like not even a not even a joke. He's actually a 4-4 legitimately he's flying. But Andrew Van Ginkle is a football player.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Like if you just look up the definition, you'll see Taysam Hill and Andrew Van Ginkle. It's good. He is a football player, bro. He is just all about the sport. He's all about the craft. He just finds ways to make plays. He finds the football.
Starting point is 00:49:25 The football finds him. An amazing guy, too. Like, Gink is the ultimate teammate. He's just, he's a, he's a great person to have on your team, dog. Yeah. All the way around. Like, completely, you can trust him. You can go to war with him.
Starting point is 00:49:41 But he is a football player. So anything that he does from pick sixes to sack fumble to he might return a goddamn punt. Yeah. I'm not surprised. There's some guys who cause a lot of havoc and they can't finish or they don't catch the pick or they don't. He's the guy that just he makes the play. And I like Grenard a lot too up there. For sure.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I think Grenard's a dog. I love a little Minnesota guy, man. They got some shit up there. Yeah. All right. So here we go. Let's talk about this year. Now that you're like an analyst,
Starting point is 00:50:20 I'm not going to ask you for necessarily a Super Bowl pick. But like, who do you think are maybe some of the best teams in the league that people aren't thinking about this year? Let's put it that way. Like, who's flying under the radar that you think might have a really good year? I think,
Starting point is 00:50:33 I think Detroit will be overshadowed because of their early exit. Yeah. I think Detroit will be overshadowed because of their early exit in the playoffs. I got them winning coming out of an NMC. Okay. Does Ragnall, how much is a center leaving like that that's been there a long time? How much does that really matter? I know he's a great player.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Obviously it matters. But like for an offensive lineman, when you hear your center retires late in the summer, like, are you like, oh, shit? Yeah, I mean, unless you really have a succession plan. Right. And Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell is such an offensive line guy. Yeah. And he's huge on the development of offense alignment.
Starting point is 00:51:16 And those guys, that unit does it, does a very, a great job in general. I think they'll be, I think they'll be pretty, they'll do pretty well. Just kind of how Philly did with Jason Kelsey retiring. Right. Yeah. I think they'll be able to, so to roll in that, in that sense. I love Detroit. I think they will be able to fly under the radar and kick ass.
Starting point is 00:51:41 If Aiden Hutchinson is able to get healthy, they're my favorite. Yeah, okay. They're my favorite. I do, I believe in the commanders. I do. So, still challenging the NFC, Philly will be there again. That's no question. AFC side, man, I see, I like Baltimore as a favorite.
Starting point is 00:51:59 I like Baltimore as a favorite. I don't think Buffalo will be as dominant as they have been. They worry me because, like, it always feels like people are banged up on defense the corner the rookie corner harsen already got hurt like you're going to depend on bosa he's had some injuries milano like i'm a big josh fan dude but like yeah it doesn't feel like they're playing with a full deck on that side of the ball all the time i agree i agree yeah i agree but um to to close it out i i can never ever go against patched bahams yeah andy reed yeah so I can say every team of league, my favorite, but those guys, they get it done, man.
Starting point is 00:52:47 They win big games. They play incredible situational football. The two-minute drill when they're behind, their four-minute drill, when they have the lead. They just, they get it done, man. And it's hard to go against that. It's fun to watch them, like, work with whatever they got, whether it was the drops two years ago or this past year, they had, they had protection issues and that sort of thing. like they became a different team in every situation like when they had tyreek they were one team yeah and last year it just felt like hey we're going to get to third and medium or short and then good
Starting point is 00:53:21 luck like we're not we're not going to do anything spectacular but um it's going to be held to play us and you're these long drives and shit i think they could be uh they could be just as good again yeah to your point in a little a little media not that you need advice but this is something i learned if you respect the chiefs and you just show them respect or like simply do what you just did there's going to be a lot of people like fuck you Tehran like we hate the chiefs the refs cheap for the chiefs the whole thing like they don't understand that us players like we're not necessary we are fans but we look at the game through a lens of like who do you respect yeah and it's hard not to respect them you know like even as much as they win it's just hard not to respect them
Starting point is 00:54:06 They've earned it, bro. Like, for real, that's all it is. It's nothing that's given. They've earned it. It's kind of how the Patriots and their run and Dynasty, the Chiefs are, they're doing that. To your point, they're like a, it's like a chamellian-style team
Starting point is 00:54:21 that they adapt to whatever they need to to win. Like, we saw Brady go for 40 points, and we also saw they win games three to nothing. Yeah, and I think Kansas City is showing that flexibility and just winning that game. You can't really, you can't bet against them. They've earned their respect. No question.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Okay, so Tehran's got a football YouTube show for people on YouTube. You need to go right there and subscribe. It's called The Set. How many episodes in are you in? How many guests have you had? So we just had our first official episode under the name, The Set. And that was Rashon Slater, the day after he signed the richest deal in NFL history. But just before that,
Starting point is 00:55:06 and the Toronto Armstead show. That's what we want to call. I had Jono Smith, the day that he was traded from the Dolphins to Pittsburgh Steelers. I like him. Love for sure. I did a live stream myself, and then I was hosting Nightcap,
Starting point is 00:55:21 so I was rolling with some guests. That was awesome. Throughout that, and I had Marcus Williams on my show as well. He's a free agent right now, oddly enough, after being highly productive for the last nine years, haven't been able to find a home yet, but it's coming. And when you're 10 years in, it's nice to maybe miss a little camp. After we got all done talking about all this, we need the work.

It's a good time to admit something. Uh-oh. I didn't know there was a football game tonight. Dang. So you didn't. Let's act like we're watching this game, Hall of Fame game. Trey Lince. It's July. Hucker. Trey Lans said and hooker. Just act like, act like,
Starting point is 00:58:23 act like it's not a gambling trap. That's all this is. You didn't, you didn't, um, make your contract for your significant other? What do you mean? That the season starts. That the season's and I can watch football. It starts today and this is like in the words of Tony Soprano, this is our busy season until February. This is our busy season. Like is it not? Meg knows that.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Meg knows that. Meg knows that. But you got to get in it in writing so you know that she knows. It is in writing. Every time we cash a check. Because if you forgot that the season started tonight, then how do you expect other people to, to know.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Yeah, you're right. No, that's why we're taking the time to remind people that there is football tonight. So y'all go ahead and get on that. Y'all watch that, y'all watch that Hall of Fame game between the... Lines and the Chargers. See, I'm healthy.
Starting point is 00:59:22 That's what you get at this podcast. You get more, more, the host of this podcast is healthy. I'm healthy. I have, like, I've set up... Interests. What's the word? Boundaries. in my life.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Prescription drug. Like, I don't have to, yeah, I don't have to watch the Hall of Fame game. Well, let's knock those boundaries down. The lines are favored by one and a half. Okay. Totals 33 and a half. Okay. Either of those lines.
Starting point is 00:59:49 We're with the quarterbacks playing? You said Hooker? Hector. Hector and Hector and Lance. Hooker and Lance. Hooker and Lance. Maybe a little Kyle Allen. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I'm going to take the, I'm going to, I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be low school. No, explosion. You think? Yeah. I think people are afraid to, now I don't know what past totals have been in. Forgive the people who don't gamble, you know, or forgive me to the people that don't gamble who are listening and watching this show.
Starting point is 01:00:19 That's a personal preference, it's personal choice, you know. If I smoke a cigarette on the podcast, that doesn't mean you got to go buy a pack of Newport's, like, you know, exercise your individual rights. We will talk about gambling some. It is the fall. but I think that total, I don't know if that total is so low that people will be afraid to bet the under. That's kind of, or is that customarily the total?
Starting point is 01:00:43 Buddy boy, last year's Hall of Fame game, 2117 and called in the third quarter. But what was the total? Total was 31.5. Low totals. You got some videos? Yeah, this is from two weeks ago, but we've got a good-looking Giants quarterback. Jackson Dart on what looks like to be a yacht in, Lake Powell or Lake Mead, Arizona, and he rips it.
Starting point is 01:01:08 My quarterback's prettier than yours, Reed. Can't complete a pass on the lake. Yeah. Hey, bud. Fucking great quarterback looks 31, bro. This doesn't concern you? No, he's behind the jet ski. Everybody's like, oh, this is awesome.
Starting point is 01:01:23 He's behind the jet ski. No, that's what I'm saying. He can't complete a pass with no pressure, no line, nothing. That doesn't concern you a little bit making? This is New York football Giants content involving a boat of sorts, which means that the Boogazi curse is now over. Why? The O'Dell Boat picture was taken. The Giants then lost to the Packers, 38 to 13 or some such, and since then they are 40, 91 and 1.
Starting point is 01:01:52 That's 40 wins, 91 losses, and a tie. now that we have a new boat clip to look at consume it's over you think yeah we're turning on the page with this boat
Starting point is 01:02:04 that's how curses work G-Men fully back and it's a and it's a dime the jet ski driver speeds up and a comment stolen
Starting point is 01:02:12 from Reddit.com cool but why is Nelson Agalore on the jet ski sorry nice little bird your buddy we can bleep that
Starting point is 01:02:26 No, it's okay. Here, here you go. He understands. Insert. He understands. Insert, uh, Hollywood Brown. A lot of velocity on that throw, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Took him off the back. Yeah. Pause. That's really rain. Yeah. Okay. It's raining hard outside for the listeners and viewers. I love it.
Starting point is 01:02:48 He's got gray hair. He's only looking better since draft night. Yep. Um, when some of you clowns. saw the Giants would go get Chodor Sanders. It would have been a colossal mistake. Okay, we feel good about it. The spirals, the Giants are going to be good.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Do you guys realize that? I don't care about your schedule. I think it's going to be better than people think. Yeah, Noel. The guy in the video, is that the guy you called Jackson Fart on draft night? Oh, look at that. Look at that. Damn, dude.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Look, man, it's all about evolving and improving one. and I've seen the light, Noel. Yeah. More like Jackson's smart. Over under how long he turns back into Jackson fart. Well, who, well, I don't know. Who's gonna start the... Wasn't his first training camp pass?
Starting point is 01:03:46 Russell Hussing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's what you do, man. That's what you do. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Didn't he already turn back into the fart? No, no, no, no, no. Not yet. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:55 No, no, no, no. That was a nice clip. That's a good clip. Those are the kind of clips we like to see. Yeah. Curse over. Giants winning. That Jetsky on the right side of the red line.
Starting point is 01:04:07 We've got Bryce Young. This is from the other day. He was asked this question. There, street clothes, and all, he just looks like a normal person. But he put a helmet on and he says he becomes Superman. What do you see? I mean, I don't think I'm at liberty to say what a normal person looks like. But I do know that.
Starting point is 01:04:25 the football player and the competitor he is um again he's putting it on film he's been doing his whole career and listen i see what they're getting at i really do uh what are they getting at i mean and brys young doesn't take the bait which is the best part he's he's like i know what you're saying like he's just the whitest white guy yeah the implication is we've got a diminutive white with a receding hair line yeah at white out hunter no he's really not diminutive he's just normal He looks like he works at like a law firm Or at a he's works in finance Or at a bait shop
Starting point is 01:05:04 He could work in any number of They're stereotyping Well, I'm allowed to do that You know To my people And, and you know You could Google What is the normal
Starting point is 01:05:17 What does a normal person look like? Can you? Yeah, I did it yesterday And what came up? I'm interested to know Well, it's a stupid exercise because it is because what does that even mean that's I think that's the question that's the underlying question what there's a lot of people freaking out because in America supposedly like 20 50
Starting point is 01:05:37 everybody's going to look like slightly brown and I and I think it's cool I've been waiting to be an exotic my whole life dude seriously like you know it'd be cool wouldn't it be cool to be like you know like oh he's Irish you know like he's Irish you know like he's Irish and a Italian, like, that's like, I'm all of a sudden the Puerto Rican guy. You know what I'm saying? Like, I can't wait to be in the minority. But there's a lot of people freaking out about that. They'll get over it.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Don't get over it. One day, Macon's going to be like something, something you don't see every day. Clear. Oh, hold on. I'm one 16th black. Okay. You did your... 23 and me.
Starting point is 01:06:23 You did? No. yeah no where from probably one of his ancestors I mean you know big Thomas Jefferson fan
Starting point is 01:06:34 I'll just say that history history's tough sometimes okay I'm gonna backtrack I was making that up we know we know I could be 116th no you could not
Starting point is 01:06:48 yes I could no you could not you couldn't even be you couldn't even do like an Elizabeth Warren thing I wouldn't even believe that. Yeah, I could. No. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Yeah. Yeah, I could. Now you're selling the stolen land. Crazy. Crazy cycles. It's crazy, dude. But yeah, you can't say what normal looks like anymore. The world's too diverse.
Starting point is 01:07:13 And I, for one, am fine with it. This is normal person, Google image, search. All shapes, sizes, colors. Yeah, but most of them. Mostly white. White. White. Not for long.
Starting point is 01:07:28 There's plenty of off white there. Not for long. Off white. Don't you want to be like that cool like, you know, like that cool culture that's like, there's something special about the culture. They're hanging on. The whites are hanging on. It's going to turn around for us soon.
Starting point is 01:07:48 No, I don't want it to. I don't find with wherever it goes, man. This is what when you ask Chad, GPT to draw a normal looking white guy with a receding hairline. This is what they pull up. That's Renpro. This next video hit a little close to home for us because we are pretty prolific at what.
Starting point is 01:08:09 He long is. Malik neighbors was asked to do. See, long is. That is, oh, he pulled out seven inches. Bro. I knew it. He looks at it quizzically.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Bro. Then they make them take it out to the field. This is way off. Way off. He said way off, dude. You know he's telling girls his dick is a yard long. Yeah, for sure, dude. Hey, I just, I like, I'm baff.
Starting point is 01:08:52 It's baffling. Like, I understand that, like, a lot of people aren't, like, learning stuff in that sort of thing. And, like, maybe you don't know geography, like, some maps. People don't have the map thing down. I've seen that most Americans don't know. where anything is, but like, a yard? How many inches is a yard? 36.
Starting point is 01:09:11 How many football players do you think know that off the top of their head? 98.999 repeated percent. Ooh, no. That's that. Did football players know how many inches in a yard? Absolutely. I think you're, I think for one, I think for one, giving him that thing, I, he's 29 inches off.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I don't think, for one, I don't think in inches he, like, theoretically knows how long a yard is because for one do you really think he was probably like my dick's longer than a yard no because bro like you don't pull you don't pull that out seven inches and think you're close to a yard if you if you in your mind know it's 36 inches no obviously he doesn't know it's but that's what makes this remarkable i doubt i i highly doubt that if you went around to every player in the NFL and said like hey pull this how many inches so so so basically but make one person getting wrong on a team? I think the answer to Nate's question is more like 55%.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Thank you. You think 55%? After this video. Yes, I think you're like, you're thinking like, I think you're giving the benefit of doubt and you're just like expecting like, yo, I know guys know this, but guys don't, dude. Like, like they don't. They're all busy learning extremely complicated playbooks. Seven inches is crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:34 They're learning like site adjustments and like leverage and and like audibles with 24 words on them. Like, but they don't know how long a yard is. Happens. But that therein lies the point. You got the dick. Meagher in your hand, by the way. Leaky neighbors is focused on football. And what comes across in that video is a wholesome cat, authentic, agreeable, self-deprecate,
Starting point is 01:11:02 kind, polite. Here's a problem though. Hey, Malik, it's third and two. You need a yard. And four. Where are the sticks? Exactly. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:11:12 What if you can't see the sticks? Exactly. It's third and one. He falls down at the line of script. Just catches a bubble screen. Boom. I think in his mind, how long does he think like a 75-yard drive is?
Starting point is 01:11:32 He was trying to. 75 times 7 it's like I don't know you can see him move his foot he was probably trying to do a foot and yes he was still off by nearly 50% yeah but I don't think he was in his head trying to clearly trying to pull out 30s say me a yeah give me a yeah all right get me we haven't done this in a while but used to be really good at this I don't know if I'm good anymore this is where we're going to be right here for the first one yeah it's 15 and a half inches on the money it's 50 15 and a half. That is 15.
Starting point is 01:12:07 I'm going to stop right there. That is 15 and 1 half. That's what it looks like. Hey, that's what, that's what knowing your inches looks like. That was crazy. That's, how'd you come to that conclusion? Well, I always, I always.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Yeah, what's your method? Multiply by six? See, generally, no, like, divide. Not six, bro. That's crazy, Reed. So, you know, we were talking earlier in here, like, generally, like, you... I try to go off of what a foot would look like, and then add, you know, a couple inches to a foot. But, you know, like...
Starting point is 01:12:44 A foot! What do you mean? You just know what a foot looks like? Well, yeah, you think, like... You think you know what, like, a ruler looks like. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, a ruler, yeah, yeah. But if I can't think of what a ruler looks like, I usually think, like, how many dicks?
Starting point is 01:12:58 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know that. You ask me this before this show. This is what you want. This is what you want. Don't woe, whoa, whoa, whoa, me. You said. Yeah, I mean, you know, like you take what I think my dick would look like
Starting point is 01:13:13 and then multiply it by however many times I need to multiply it. Wow. So like Reese said, six? I'm not doing this, but we're not, I'm not an average American. I'll just put it that way. I am not an average American. Those are sickos. I was freaky.
Starting point is 01:13:34 That was stereotyping right there. Freaky. Talk about profiling. How are you profiling? Hey, brother. Give me another, if I don't hit this one, spot on, we can cut it. For the good of the show. We would go viral if I get this next one.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Let the record show that I have pulled it out 26 inches. What are you doing? My bad. My bad. Are you high? Wait, wait, wait, wait. My bad. That's my bad.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Let the record show. Wait. What is he doing? My bad. You did it again, basically. But all right. Oh, my bad. I knocked down my LeBron Times Hennessy.
Starting point is 01:14:14 I'm not trying to. We need to reload that LeBron Times Hennessy. It's almost football's busy season. I come home smell like LeBron Times Hennessy after the games. All right. So we got about a foot there. We got two feet. You know, we barely got two feet.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Locking on me, Tim. man 24 and three quarters you man you said it right the first time 20 22 and some change okay you should have you should have stuck to your gun that's still pretty good though that's still under you said you said a little under two feet yeah and then you went over it's not leaky neighbors no no no definitely not is focused on football no he's focused on football goaded let's dive into the uh the christian wilkins drama so yes i guess give a little the spark notes here There's obviously two parts. There's obviously everybody's talking about the Adam Butler piece of this right now.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Just to add context, the injury piece. So Christian Wilkins last October, Jones fracture, surgery after the season. That's a foot. He had a foot. Yeah. Right. Had a foot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Shows up in May to off-season programming. Foot isn't fully healed. Team recommends second surgery. He doesn't want to do that. that he's going to second opinion rehab on his own shows up for camp foot isn't healed june 4th the team voids the remaining 35 million dollars guaranteed on his contract um that takes us to july 24th where christian wilkins released that day same day nflb a grievance um around that that voided guarantee that process is going to play itself out probably carrying into 2026
Starting point is 01:16:10 But then, obviously, last week into this week, the news of the HR complaint around Christian Wilkins, reportedly kissed a player in the teammate on the forehead in a playful manner. And then we have the Adam Butler. You imagine if it was aggressive? Here Adam Butler's comments when he asked about it the day at training camp, the day after. A lot of controversy around the defensive line group after the release of Christian Wilkins. How have you seen your unit be able to leave that as just outside noise and hone in on your craft? Yeah, we pretty much just kind of moved on from the situation.
Starting point is 01:16:53 You know, I really don't want to comment further on it. But I will say that, you know, whatever you're going through as a person, you know, athlete, non-athlete, whoever, whatever your struggle is, if you got something going on in life, just, you know, talk to somebody. get some therapy, you know, whatever your deal is is your deal. Somebody out there in this world for the billions of people is willing to listen. They're willing to listen, hear you out, and help you work through whatever you need to work through. But don't make any hasty decisions to get help. So, okay, there's a lot to unpack here.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Good message, generally. It's generally a good message. I didn't not, I wouldn't have applied it to a situation like this. Before we make any hasty decisions And kiss a teammate on the side of the head Unless we don't know the situation Now we don't know the whole situation Nate pointed something out
Starting point is 01:17:51 The group text the other day Which was very true Which is that Christian Wilkins has a history Of crossing the line physically With people on other teams If you're in enough locker rooms There's always guys that kind of You would like
Starting point is 01:18:05 Lack of a better word Push the limits When it comes to horse play and in an atmosphere where guys are naked, guys are changing, are putting on clothes, taking off clothes. So you hear comments.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Like, bro, even guys jimmy tap each other in the locker room. And for anyone who doesn't know, that's a light tap to someone's balls. Now, I just want to say this. What? I think that's over the line.
Starting point is 01:18:32 No, and that's my next point. I've never. No, that's my next point. You see that go on in the locker room. In Jacksonville, people were jimmy tapping? Bro, in plenty of locker rooms, like that happened.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Like knuckles to the scrote? And it's something that if you think about it mentally, that's way worse than kissing someone on the forehead. It's touching someone's private parts. But you would never hear that go to HR. And I didn't even know, like, obviously every big company has an HR. But when you're in the NFL locker room, how many people know that? Didn't know that was something accessible to us.
Starting point is 01:19:04 We can actually go and report something to HR. Yeah. It's not something that they give us in our welcome packets when we get there this week during came They don't want you going to HR. Did you know where the HR area was in the building? Like no. No, I bet they work remotely or something. Yeah, like that's the only way you can probably save that.
Starting point is 01:19:26 But like even if it is, HR is probably the furthest in a building. They're probably the furthest thing away from a locker room if everything is conjoined in the same building. Because I couldn't imagine HR even being close. to the locker room. I don't know. You know, like, obviously, and at the risk of sounding apologetic, or, like, you know, like, kind of condoning what Christian Walker did,
Starting point is 01:19:53 everything's contextual, right? Like, if a teammate of yours walked up to you and was like, ah, and, like, put you in a headlock and kissed the top, like, one of the vets, like, just walked up to a rookie. As fucked up as that sounds, like, when I saw this headline, I was like, it has to be more than a kiss. Because the kiss, as stupid as that is, is probably, and there's a lot of NFL players who would publicly say, fuck no, there's no way I'd ever let somebody kiss me.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Like, yeah, that's fine. We get it. Like, you're macho. But, like, a kiss on the forehead is not enough to get somebody cut, especially somebody who's getting paid, like, a lot of money. I've played with guys who are way more inappropriate than that. And I don't know what that says about the state of, like, locker rooms. I think it's, and I hate using the term boys will be boys, because that's always like what people use.
Starting point is 01:20:38 when somebody does something totally fucked up. Yeah. But it's obvious that there's a pattern of behavior and on top of it he probably wasn't popular at this very moment in the building because of whatever he was doing with the Jones fracture, not getting surgery, kicking the can down the road,
Starting point is 01:20:53 showing up on the PUP, getting paid a lot of money. Probably not taking shit that seriously. And then he walks in and he's cutting up, which probably is his thing. Like he's a fuck-around guy. Yep. Which is fine.
Starting point is 01:21:05 But when you're a fuck-around guy, you've got to be handling your business. Absolutely. It starts getting awkward when you're a fuck-around guy and you're not handling your business, right? And he probably walked in and, you know, was fucking with Adam Butler, who, by the way, I want to say this about Adam Butler. He's had a hell of a career.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I know this is Adam Butler's biggest headline, but Adam Butler has had a hell of a career. Played inside, played in New England, played I think in Miami, and now he's in Vegas. But good player. Yeah. And I bet he's sitting there like, why do I have to put up with this motherfucker who's not doing his job?
Starting point is 01:21:37 I show up every day. I've showed up every day my whole career. Yep. Trying to do my job. I'm not a star. And this guy who's not even getting surgery, he's not rehabbing correctly, walking in,
Starting point is 01:21:47 cutting up and giving me a fucking kiss. At the end of the day, just like you just said, it's the context of how the kiss happened and what happened. It's so silly. Isn't it? It is. It is.
Starting point is 01:21:58 It's how he kissed. But also, too, it's who you kiss. It just shows also, it shows that whoever you kissed and that was upset about it, whoever they said it to, they took enough to be like, hey, we respect this guy enough
Starting point is 01:22:13 that if he's upset about this, it's an issue. Because like we're talking about, a lot of people that are in a football office, I would think not, there's a good percentage of people. Unkissable. Football office that are coaches or front office that they have been around a locker room.
Starting point is 01:22:32 And for them to hear something like that, you probably have to be puzzled at first. Like, wait, what? Like, he kissed him. on the forehead, like, kiss you on the forehead? See, I feel like if I, if I heard that, hey, guy on the team who likes to fuck around a lot, walked into the meeting room and kissed the guy on the forehead
Starting point is 01:22:48 and he was fucking around, like, and then it almost turned into a fight, I'd be like, well, that sounds about right. You know what I'm saying? I'd be like, I've heard stranger. Right, Nolan, isn't that what, Chris, Chris? Yeah, like, y'all, now you're in charge. We don't have an HR.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Now you're a charge. Bowes are HR. Oh, Bose are HR. Like, we're joking about it now, but if later, if Reed's like, hey, man, like, I'm feeling some type of way. Like, Dr. Fax, like, he grabbed me aggressively. And I think he was joking, but, like, but he kissed me on air. He kissed me on my head.
Starting point is 01:23:22 And now, I don't know how I feel like in this, in this environment. Yeah, but I don't think it was like that. I think it was like, if I had to guess, because of what I just said, like, Noel, you've been in locker rooms, you've been in NFL locker rooms, you've played college football. like you played high school football like now you went to a white-ass school where this was going on a lot right but like yeah but it's a normal yeah he's like yeah but it's a normal it's a normal it's like if you had heard a guy hey what happened today there was almost a fight because somebody got kissed on the forehead and the other guy got really mad like i've heard shit like that before
Starting point is 01:24:01 and what i don't want to do is what i've seen some NFL players do which is because they don't want anybody to think that they're a little bit like suss or whatever they don't want to say oh yeah that's i've i've heard of some shit so i've seen a lot of sound bites that are like whoa whoa whoa that's way out of bounds i've never seen anything like that in the locker room dude i've seen guys naked in locker rooms on the little basketball hoop like 300 pound men walking around i won't name who he was but this guy with the rams he used to walk get out of the shower soap still on him 300-pound motherfucker with a mini-basketball. The mini hoop was by the D-line lockers,
Starting point is 01:24:39 and he used to walk up to, like, Aaron Donald and other guys and be like, check up, check up, de me up. Or he'd be walking around the locker room, dribbling, like spinning off guys, and dudes are like, get the fuck away from me, man. But, you know, like, over-the-line pranks are played. Things are definitely, we call it white guy humor. That's the way, for people that are like, why would you open the segment talking about race?
Starting point is 01:25:03 well if you're in a locker room you know this like like the black dudes are like y'all white motherfuckers got a different way of choking around and we do which is what was funny because the very first thing me and Nate said was I was like he definitely kissed a black dude and that's why he went to HR and it turned out to be true but obviously there's contextual shit around this that that that colors it in for me you know like it's it's if this were max crosbie you not that Max would do something like this. I don't know that he is a white guy, humor guy. But if Max, and that's what I said.
Starting point is 01:25:41 I was like, if this comes out and he did this at Max Crosby. But Max's not going to HR. No, I don't think so. I don't think so either. But if it's maybe like, yo, I'm either going to HR or I'm going to whip this guy's ass and it's going to be a story anyway. And Butler can't afford to do that because he knows his place on the team. And by the way, he's older than Wilkins.
Starting point is 01:26:01 And he's like, who is this motherfucker? who's like five years younger than me, treat me like a rookie. But there's also, there's also the, the rumor that he tried to stick his finger in somebody's butt on the, it's not a rumor. There's video, there's video evidence of him clearly grabbing genitals. I'm not an apologist here.
Starting point is 01:26:19 I'm really not. And fingers in the butt. It's just like, bro, if you already know guys know about that, that shit's way, because that's one of those things too. If guys know and there's video and there's, And there's videos of you doing stuff like this. But like you're not allowed,
Starting point is 01:26:38 you're like if I'm a certain way, you're not allowed to joke with me. If we're not, if we're not buddy, buddy, you're not allowed to joke with me. Just the same way we talk about white guard humor. You and the guys in here can joke with me in a way that no other people, other, no, just other human beings in general,
Starting point is 01:26:57 they could not get away with. And it's just like, if you don't know that in a locker room or if you don't know that in life. Maybe that's why Adam responded the way he did. Maybe it is a mental thing. And maybe you really do need help that that you can't, that you can't separate that. But what I had heard, what I had heard through the grapevine is that everything was like, everything was like in this particular moment, things were not tense until it got tense. Yeah. You see what I'm saying? Like everybody was like, oh, what the fuck? You know, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:27:30 and then Butler got mad and Wilkins got mad and then they're like you know and that's how fights start. No, like a lot of fights start with jokes. But also, what? No preexist. I don't know that.
Starting point is 01:27:42 I'm saying that around like, but here's the thing about the locker room, too. And everybody was like, whoa! But look, but look, and here's the thing about the locker room.
Starting point is 01:27:50 It's a situation where something happens and maybe it's not a situation. But all it takes is one instigator. all it takes is one instigator to say the right thing and the right moment to be like to really spark something you know you did a split right exactly bro bro you see these videos
Starting point is 01:28:13 Josh Allen said he grabbed his balls did you smell his finger too you're going to let that man put his finger under your nose like that's the type of shit that all of a sudden then you got a fight on your hands bro he did a full stripper split after winning the national championship bro and on another note was that impressive
Starting point is 01:28:30 I was just about to say for a guy that dies, that is very, very, that's a very, very impressive. But it's the fact that you're able to drop on your balls like that. It's not just doing a regular split. It's the way you're. All his body weight. Yeah, you got to. And in your pants and maybe jock strap. It's just like you're literally slamming on your balls.
Starting point is 01:28:53 And he bounced on it. Yeah. With a smile. Yeah, that's interesting. That's interesting. I never won a national. So where do we go from here from a football standpoint, Nolan? Is anybody going to be rushing to sign Christian Wilkins?
Starting point is 01:29:10 I don't think so. I think there's a lot of information that people are still waiting on. I mean, obviously, like we were talking about before, even before this situation came to light, the Raiders didn't know when they were going to get them on the field with the foot thing. So there's that, and then there's what are we? bringing in the locker room that I'm sure teams are kind of calling around and trying to figure out what they're signing up for there. So coming back to other camp stuff, injuries of note.
Starting point is 01:29:43 Yeah. Big one this week with kind of to start off here with Maxwell Harrison, LCL Sprane in Buffalo. Obviously, Chris, there's some injury concerns around the whole defense there in Buffalo. Yeah, it's, listen, my. My mind goes back to the AFC championship game sitting there watching that. You know, we were just sitting there being like, man, that Elam's getting picked on. It felt like the secondary was in the worst shape that it had been in all year, and it was on the biggest stage, and you know they're going to do something in the draft.
Starting point is 01:30:16 To try to rectify the situation, and Maxwell Harrison's like a huge, huge piece of this thing. You need him to work out, right? Like the window is always open when you got like a Josh, and where you have a Mahomes or a borough or a Lamar, like, When you've got those guys, the windows always open. That doesn't mean you can just leave position groups in the state that they were in at the end of last year. Like the secondary just wasn't competitive. And so this is a big deal.
Starting point is 01:30:42 And when I read about the injury at first, this is a few days ago, it had all the makings of this guy's done. You know, like when you read the tea leaves and they were saying, hey, Trudevius White, who, by the way, is back. and is the backup of Maxwell Harrison in camp to this point, who in 21, I think, had a knee, and 23 had an Achilles. Like a lot of the reason he wasn't in Buffalo for a little bit was the injuries. He's going to replace a guy for now, what, like, he's week to week. And he dodges a bullet. I mean, like, it's a deal where when he's walking off the field and Benford quotes afterwards are,
Starting point is 01:31:20 I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. You got guys giving him a hug and that sort of thing. I thought for sure it was an IR thing. So it's a very lucky situation that you're going to get Harrison back at some point here early. You know, for a young guy not to get reps in camp, that sucks. But when you look at the whole defense, bro, like they have had a lot of issues. And every defense does, but they have had some key players missed time over the past few years. And they've been able to stick the landing most of the time.
Starting point is 01:31:48 But you think about Matt Milana, who is when he was rolling a couple years ago, to put him up there with anybody at linebacker he's been hurt a lot he's healthy now joey boasts is one of the biggest cogs in the whole situation for them and he's a guy who's had an injury riddle you know back half of the career like love to see him stay healthy so this is a group that if everything goes right they can be good enough but everything has to go right and everybody has to stay healthy and a couple of these guys um i have real concerns about harston needs to get back out there as soon as he can't because they need to get reps as a group. Do you trust a depth chart on July 31st?
Starting point is 01:32:28 Like, why is a rookie ahead of Tredavius White? Because Trenavius White at this point, respectfully, is not the player he was. He's brought in to be a vet. He's brought in for depth and to be a vet. You know, he's had a couple unfortunate injuries over the past few years. Probably slow down a little bit. They want this kid to be the guy. I mean, they're at that point where it's like we need this kid to,
Starting point is 01:32:53 play. This is a domino that has to fall for us. You know, they've got guys, Dane Jackson's played in the past. Travis White's obviously played in the past, but if they want to go where they, where they want to go, if they're going to go where they want to go, it's got to be this rookie playing corner
Starting point is 01:33:09 opposite Bedford. Yeah, reportedly, it's best case in areas three weeks. Probably be a little bit more than that. And Chris Byr-Byrt talking about it. Obviously, there's other guys dealing with soft-tish stuff, like Bernard with a hammy, during Williams with a calf.
Starting point is 01:33:24 Ryan Williams, yep. And then going into the season, you're going to have Michael Hoyt and Larry Ogun Joby on six game suspensions. So, you know, this group, like you talk about the AFC title game, that's really what it came down to for them, especially third down, where it's kind of like, you know, Russian coverage or the two sides of the same coin there where they had issues. And it's just, you know, where we sit on the eve of August, it's hard to see that, you know, that question was answered this office.
Starting point is 01:33:53 season for them. So, you know, they're going to have to kind of figure this out, especially through the first half of the season with injuries and suspensions and all those things. But obviously, the most important time of the year is January. And if they can be in a better spot than they were in January, they can go on the road and win. You know, like it's one of those things where you'd love to have home field advantage. You'd love to look great in September in October. But if they can, they can have all their guys up, including the guys that you mentioned in Hoyt and Ogon Jovee, who are nice role players for that defensive line, I mean, Hoyt's an underrated player.
Starting point is 01:34:24 I mean, people know Ogun Joe be a little bit. Hoyt's a guy that Rams fans probably know. And then the next one is the Guyton injury in Dallas. It looked like at first, again, a guy who's going to miss a long time, but at this point, it's a little bit more shorter term, although it looks like he's probably going to miss the opener for sure. I mean, not for sure. I don't want to say that.
Starting point is 01:34:47 Where are we on the timetable here? I think that's that's sounding more likely they're saying four to six weeks for him they're saying no surgery but a bone fracture in the knee sounds sounds like a little more severe to me than they're making it out to be but yeah that this week Stephen Jones mentioned seventh round 20 24 seventh round pick Nate Thomas is the probable starter in the meantime so as you look to week one yep that's that's that's Eagles. Saturday,
Starting point is 01:35:22 they're in Philly. Enjoy, dude. Well, that guy missed, he missed all last year, so it's kind of like his rookie year anyways. And for Guyton, you know,
Starting point is 01:35:34 I actually liked him coming out of the draft last year. It's so early for this dude. You know, Cowboys fans, he worked with, you know, Tyron Smith this off season.
Starting point is 01:35:43 There were some quotes about how excited he was about taking the next step and he changes diet and all that stuff. He's saying all the things that a player, that's learning how to be a pro is saying.
Starting point is 01:35:53 And they really need him. So, you know, what would you do if he's not up week one? They lost Rob Jones, who had taken some first team reps at right guard with a broken bone in his neck. So that's going to be two or three months. But like you think about week one, what you could do. The problem with Tyler Smith is he's so damn good and you could probably play him at tackle. And it's probably tempting to slide him out there. But, you know, think about going to Philly.
Starting point is 01:36:19 like the guy you got to block first is Jalen Carter, right? So he's probably going to sit right there and then, Noel, who do we have working in a tackle? Yeah, right now it's going to be some combination of Nate Thomas, who we mentioned as basically in his rookie year, seventh rounder from last year, had knee 10 to 9 missed or spent last year on IR and then Seam Richards as well, another late round guy who saw a little bit of time last year, but obviously didn't show enough for the front office and the coaching staff to have to come out and declare him the replacement left tackle in the meantime. So it's definitely a spot that's up in the air for them.
Starting point is 01:36:59 And then we've got Miami, which we had talked about the secondary in weeks past in the wake of the Ramsey trade. Yeah. Not a talent-rich environment and now Koh-Hoo Down. Yeah, now Co-Hoo-Down. I mean, as you mentioned, a secondary, They're already kind of in dire straits after the Ramsey trade, Javon Holland, obviously in New York Giant now be a free agency, Fuller employer, still free agents.
Starting point is 01:37:28 So Kohoo is the only remaining guy from last year. Obviously they got Manky Fitzpatrick in return in the Ramsey trade, but Coho is kind of going to be your guy at Korn or somebody felt good about, partially torn ACL, he'll be out for the season. So you're looking at a group of Storm Duck. All-name team guy. The rookie tape, he played a lot as a rookie. I think there's a lot of room for improvement there from what we saw, I think,
Starting point is 01:37:56 especially the Green Bay game. He was getting cooked a little bit. And then Cam Smith is a 2023 second rounder. It just hasn't shown as much in his first two years. They have a rookie fifth rounder, Jason Marshall, mixing in. Then they added Jack Jones and Mike Hilton this week to kind of help fill out the depth. And I mean, I think Jack Jones will probably end up starting for them. Really talented.
Starting point is 01:38:21 Jack Jones is really talented. He just can't get it together. You know, like, that would be a huge domino for them to get the best version of him. Right. And then Mike Hilton's a veteran player. He had a really good career there. You like Mike Hilton. In Sinci.
Starting point is 01:38:35 Yeah. You know, obviously just ageing a bit at 31. Yeah. Super tough. But yeah. So it's just, you know, your heartbreaks for Kohu, you know, contract year guy UDFA from a D2 school kind of established himself as a good slot corner so you know you look at Miami um Nate talked about Bengals kind of coming into the season cooked medium
Starting point is 01:39:01 well I think Miami's a team that's going to be on the cooked watch for us here um early in September I'd hate to put them on the grill I don't want to do that Miami yeah I don't want to do that I don't want to have to be that guy you know but Tua's stepping up he's a leader now. He is the leader. And shit to Tarreek, so he's going to turn things around. He's going to turn that that medium rare to medium well.
Starting point is 01:39:26 And Darren Waller... That means they're cooked more? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that does mean that. I like the way you paused after a stick on the thing. Go ahead and make. Darren Waller is in tremendous shape
Starting point is 01:39:42 but not yet football shape. Yeah. Trending in the right direction. direction. Yeah, because you know the only reason why he went down there. Rap? Yeah, he's setting off his, like, this is, this is like a new age album and career rollout. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:03 They were. Why not, why not do your last year, you come out of retirement, be like, y'all'm a replay and re-retire? He needs to get Will Smith on a track. Have you heard Will Smith lately? In Miami. Yeah. The king of Miami, welcome to Miami.
Starting point is 01:40:16 Wikiwow. Hey, hey, you can laugh at Will Smith, but he's the king. He's the king of corny. Yeah. He's the king, and he does it right, and he's one of the greatest actors. He is, for sure. But the music thing, he has some hits, though. He has some hits back in the day, but lately whatever he's been doing, I'm just like, I'm good on that.
Starting point is 01:40:35 I love it, though. You love it, though. Yeah, why not? How do I segue out of Will Smith? On the Darren-Wallor, Tremendous Shape versus Game Shape thing, at what point in the seasons, do you guys feel like you're in game shape. Like you're like all the way through September it took you or? Because it's not right out of camp. No, I'd say it's like
Starting point is 01:40:53 a month in because it's two things like number one you're adjusting to the you know the how do I say this, the load of playing 60 snaps a game or something like that. Pause. Yeah, okay. And as you're doing that
Starting point is 01:41:08 the climate's cooling as well. So like it helps. It gets a little cooler. It's not as hot. You're getting your wind underneath you and then one more thing's happening which is your legs are back underneath you like a lot of times in camp especially back in the day um now i i guess guys are fresher but like i used to always feel my freshest in a weird way like late in the season because as that as that goes you're getting further from camp um and practice is changing right like all of a sudden they're taking the pads
Starting point is 01:41:40 off you know like at some point in the fall the cba mandates that you got to do certain things to keep players fresher. And so you can start to feel those things happening. And you're just getting in better and better cardio shape. And the intensity of the practices come down naturally. Like you remember how intense a September game week practices? It's like guys are still in camp mode. Yeah. You know, and so as that ramps down and it cools off and you get your win under you, I'd say that you're in football shape probably end of September, like real football shape. Yeah, because if you think about But honestly, your team isn't really done being made until like the end of week four. Like they're still, they're still guys getting rotated in and out, like up until week four.
Starting point is 01:42:23 And I think most teams, by the end of that, like that first quarter of the season, they're like, okay, this is our guys. We don't want this guy. We've been looking at this guy in this practice squad. Maybe we bring him in. But for the most part, yeah, like up until like the end of September, like that first month. Yeah, the first week, if you played somewhere like Tampa, you're going to be huffing and puffing. We did that my last year, I think, 2018. Jacksonville, anywhere where it's superhuman.
Starting point is 01:42:50 And you might catch a bad day coming up to play the commanders. It gets humid. It's hell out here. Make you feel like you're breathing in pound cake being out there in that heat. It's a dangerous stadium. Isaiah likely injury as well seems to be, as far as his availability is concerned, he'll be back early. But it is a tough thing going into the season with,
Starting point is 01:43:12 with a foot i mean you talk about like you know injuries that might linger i don't know exactly what the injury is but that's when it's hard to stay off that bad boy if you know what i mean yeah and he's gonna he has to have surgery he's going to undergo surgery it is a broken bone in his foot uh john harbaugh said he's going to miss multiple weeks not expected to be a longer term issue like you said chris possible he could be back for week one um sunday night football against the bills kind of sounds like that's more of an optimistic perspective on the injury. The team's kind of downplaying the significance of it. But again, this is another one like we're talking about trying to get into game shape.
Starting point is 01:43:52 You had a surgery in late July. I imagine that really has to complicate matters. You know, you have the recovery process as a zone thing. And now on top of it is getting into the game shape. And, you know, he's such a weapon for their offense. And depending upon how many games they're without him, I mean, they start out. out at Buffalo. This is supposed to be the guy.
Starting point is 01:44:13 They're passing the baton to him. All three. In the passing game. All three of their tight ends are contracts up after this season. So while it, for Isaiah likely is a tough thing. You know, you want to start off your contract season well and not have to have surgery. But Charlie Kohler, the third year, it's an opportunity for him to slide in. And also Mark Andrews is a show that he's.
Starting point is 01:44:40 not. Yeah. They just don't have the, and Nolan, they don't have the, the formational flexibility without him on the field, to the degree that they do with him on the field. So it's an adjustment. I mean, you can run two tight-end sets. You can, I mean, they have other guys,
Starting point is 01:44:55 but he's a different kind of guy. Early thoughts. What? Anytime touchdowns, Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson's got to get that nasty taste out of his mouth. I think he'll feed him early in season. Pause, pause, pause, pause. Yeah. Pause. Pause for how that season ended.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Yep. Yep. I don't think that ever goes away, dude. You don't think so? No, I don't think so. Because I just judging by, like, the little inconsequential shit that I hang on to, you know, like, it just tortures me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:28 And, like, I'm 40 and I'm still thinking about things. Like, he'll always think about that play. And there's no amount of like, hey, dude, you're awesome. Yeah. It sucks. I mean, and that's the, that's the, that's the flip side of making all that money and being a professional athlete. It's like you can fuck up and your life is different forever.
Starting point is 01:45:50 I bet you there's not a day he hasn't woke up and thought about that play. Don't you think? I agree. It's probably not a single day. We ran through some of those injuries. Some teams that are dealing with those injuries might be looking at this tweet from Greg Rosenthal. Players not currently on an NFL roster.
Starting point is 01:46:09 We've got Amari Cooper, Asante Samuel Jr., Stefan Gilmour, Zadaria Smith, Keenan Allen, Kaiser White, Rassul Douglas, Jadabian, Clowning, Marcus Williams, and Will Hernandez. A couple of those guys coming off injuries from last year, but are any names on this list that surprise you, they're not in camp, right? Well, I think Zadaria Smith, we talked a lot about how well he played for Detroit when he popped in last year late in the season, and he looks like he still got juice. only that he's a he's a really good player he's had a great career he's probably doing one of those like i just don't feel like going to camp things wait for injuries miss camp yeah it's like it's the
Starting point is 01:46:48 way to go dude it's the way to go um no you said who else you think is going to get paid soles going to get picked up i think clowny somebody's going to do customarily somebody gives him 10 million for like interesting note on uh interesting note on rsul was justina anderson reported this week an offer from the dolphins actually came across his desk, but he said thanks, but no thanks, which speaks to the state of the dolphins, but also it's an example of the interest shown in Rassoul. So he'll be with a team for sure.
Starting point is 01:47:23 I mean, Stefan Gilmore doesn't seem like he wants to hang him up. I think he'll be signing somewhere. He did a similar thing. Actually, if you guys remember, we were at Minnesota last year for his first day at work when he signed kind of mid-camp or whatever it was exactly. So those are the guys that kind of jump out. Run it back.
Starting point is 01:47:42 And then Zadaria Smith would be a good-looking bangle. Good-looking bangle. They got Trey Hendrickson in camp right now. They're working on that deal. I think it's going to happen. As we say, like, hey, these things just, they work themselves out. Clowny to the commanders? Commanders got money for him?
Starting point is 01:48:02 I don't know. I haven't thought. lot enough about clowning, you know, but I think Zadarias Smith got some juice and he can move around, you know, you got a young edge guy and CENC, I don't know, that. Is Keenan Allen done? You think? You think someone snagging him before? I don't think Keenan Allen's done unless there's some injury, I don't know about that's like, you think he's going to be able to season or, or?
Starting point is 01:48:26 I think we got plenty of time left in camp. I think it's going to be mid-camp for a few of these, these names because you got to remember and no one just pointed this out stephan gilmore what was the date we were in biking camp it was it was like middle of august you know even allen is 33 amari cooper is 31 okay assonti samuel junior interestingly on this list and he's just coming off his rookie rookie contract a good couple years with the chargers yeah he's dealing with a neck injury that i think a lot of teams are scared afraid up um he's probably gonna have to a deal that's a little bit less than what he's looking for if he wants to make the ball this
Starting point is 01:49:08 neck so there's this thing going on going on it's called the tea app and i think i saw this can you do this what is this clock that tea what does that mean clock that tea what does that mean it's like give me the gossip oh give me the gossip yeah and so the tea app it was something that was made by i'm assuming i think you down a bitter a bitter girlfriend yeah and and or significant other other and it was a site for females to go on and then they can either post a man that they're dealing with yeah a man that they're thinking about dealing with or a man that they've dealt with before and you can start a conversation where you can click you can click red flag or green flag and then two specific people yeah and then yeah you can then you can then
Starting point is 01:50:02 list your reasoning under. So this app started and it went viral for about four or five days. And for the females to get on this app, they had to show their ID and put information in. Someone hacked it. They don't like being called females, by the way. Yeah, they're women. Women, women on the site. So they,
Starting point is 01:50:28 the site got hacked. China. And it looks. leaked, it leaked all the information exposing all the girls who signed up for the app, all the girls who posted certain stuff, but it also revealed the men that they were posting. So they spilled the tea. Yes. So unexpected, now dudes are seeing themselves on there and some dudes are happy about the comment. Right. One dude's bragging, he was like, yo, I had 79 girls.
Starting point is 01:51:02 green flags and 14 red flags. I'm putting up Kobe numbers on that. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. But it's pretty good in a sense of maybe it is, maybe it's not. It's like, damn, how many people are you dealing with to have that many reviews is also a question. Yeah, you're clearly a slut. But that's what it's exposing. And then it's also like females being like, this is my man, is anyone dealing with it.
Starting point is 01:51:30 And it's a list of stuff. Oh, he's for, are they given like... He's for the streets, Shorty. But are they given, like, are women trying to do a Malik neighbors
Starting point is 01:51:38 with the tape measure on guys? Oh, no, they're talking about all that. Like, but how would they know? Because they're, the people, you're posting pictures of,
Starting point is 01:51:47 of dudes you've dealt with. No, I know. And you're either rating them good or bad. You can't be saying, hey, he was like this, you know, because most people don't know distance,
Starting point is 01:51:56 is what we found earlier. No, but the funny thing is is some girls are trying to downplay dudes and other girls are like, nah, girl, you're lying because you're mad, whatever like that. He was this and that, and he was actually a good guy. You're probably just, you're probably just an asshole. You're better. You're better.
Starting point is 01:52:13 You know what's coming next? A review of them. Yeah, okay. How much is that, Nate? Five inches. Oh, he knows his five inches pretty well. That's interesting. I know that's, I know that's smaller.
Starting point is 01:52:31 So anyway, so here's the deal. So here's the deal. Next, there's going to be a site like this that already happened. Them. It's all we know about, we get to know about them. Right. I say we like I'm playing the game anymore. But like us guys, like some of my single friends, they get to know about them.
Starting point is 01:52:55 And then they're going to be like, oh, you can't do that. It's a violation of privacy. You can't say that about women. It already happened. And were they mad about it? You already know. It already happened. The number one thing that's going viral is like, yeah, we'll see how quick these women, see how it feels and how they like it.
Starting point is 01:53:13 And it's like a dude. And he's going through a list. And he's just putting under every picture of girls. Pussy stings. No. Putting going. Going, meaning that like, she's a hoe. Like he's going.
Starting point is 01:53:27 Yeah, yeah. And so he's just scrolling, going. scrolling oh you hurt going going teeth exactly yeah four baby four baby bag clinger stage five clinger you know
Starting point is 01:53:43 yeah they're not going to like that so much no you know we have feelings too we don't we don't want to we you know we don't want people knowing everything about us I think this is a fucked up situation I I mean I understand the the utility of this app For sure. No, so the real, the thing that sucks about it is that the females, and I see females posting about this,
Starting point is 01:54:06 females are mad about it because the original, oh, women, on my bad. You got it. I'm sorry. Women have been posting about this. They're mad at other women. I don't care. They're mad at other women because the real reason for this app was to expose creep dudes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:25 Like if you go on a date with a creep and he's maybe trying to. force himself on you, whatever like that. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, exactly. And that's how it started. And where people, where they're putting red flags, they're like, oh, I dealt with this guy, stay the fuck away from him, blah, blah, blah. And then it turned into, oh, this and that, and it kind of shifted.
Starting point is 01:54:46 Weak loads. Pubes. Exactly. Stuff. Week loads. Yeah. He was fully shaved down there. Cries after sex.
Starting point is 01:54:58 Right? Oh, my God. Oh, man. But it's a good self-scouting tool for some of these guys. For sure. You know? For sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:13 Can you opt in? That should be the... If you opt in, it's fair game. Yeah. That's the fix. Yep. No question. No, it was educational.
Starting point is 01:55:21 Thank you, Nate. Something else that's educational that you might be educating your son on. He started to dab. Yeah. It's a tough scene, dude. Motherfuckers dabbing everywhere. He's dabbing in every picture. Like, we take a lot of pictures.
Starting point is 01:55:34 I just take pictures of, like, all the kids. And, like, it was funny the first time. And now everything is this. But that's, that's white guy humor. He's getting ready. No. Like, why not? This is the thing.
Starting point is 01:55:46 I've been on this, I've been on this thing for, I've been on this thing for, like, ever since the dabbing started. Like, whenever white kids were on the Jumbotron, I was like, you will regret this footage. Stop. And now to see my. my son nine years old doing it, here's what I'm doing, dabbing back at him to embarrass him. He says he's going to dab when he scores a touchdown and flag football.
Starting point is 01:56:09 I said, I'm going to dab up and down the sideline. Everyone's going to love that. You guys are going to go viral. You just said, you just said, you don't watch your kid on YouTube. The new big justice. That's the quickest way you're going to see your kid all over social media. After he scores and his Super Bowl dad, Chris Long, does a dab with. him and people are gonna be they won't know that what I'm trying to do yeah so yeah anyways I don't
Starting point is 01:56:34 know is there anything that your kids like you're like you're like you know I'll freak out if this happens like they can't do this uh we just entered a repeating stage copying everything you just said which nobody has any time for yeah but it's not embarrassing like I'm embarrassed when my son dab but is he is he continuing to do it because it bothers you I think partially yeah that's the age this is the age for him to do it that but I was a thing the other night where he dabbed he's like let me show you what I'm doing when I score touch and he dabs and then he spikes the ball dabs and then walks over to an imaginary bench sits on the wall like doing a wall sit and like what's he doing now and he he does like fake
Starting point is 01:57:15 high fives and dabs of his teammates. That's pretty sick. I love it. I love it. He's sitting on a fake bench. Bro he hasn't put out. Dapping up fake teammates and I thought at first in that I thought but he was going, the wall sit was part of his, that he just would find a wall after he scored a touchdown and do a wall sit. No, that's his simulation of what it's going to look like when he goes to the bench, too. He's got the whole thing. And you know what's going to be funny about that? We were kayaking the other day.
Starting point is 01:57:41 I took, I took my wife and boys down the Shenandoah. And Meg and Waylon were on a kayak together, like a tandem. And I go take a picture of him. Meg's paddling along, and he's just on the kayak, bro. Well, it's better than when we were kids his age. I was running around with my friends doing the Degeneration X suck it. Yeah. Like, it could be work.
Starting point is 01:58:03 I would rather him do the Degeneration X. Than the Dab? Yeah. Why are you hating out the Dab so much? Because it's not really for him. Look at my dad. What? Why not?
Starting point is 01:58:13 I think it's only for him at this point. You're right at this point because it's five years later. Yeah. It's either that or the floss. Does he know what to do the floss? Yeah, he's done the flaw. Yeah, I've seen him try the floss. So how about you, how about you suggest a dance?
Starting point is 01:58:27 different dance for him. That's how you help it. Bro, the wall sit, fake teammates, having two... He's funny. He's a funny guy. That might be electric. He's a funny guy. But I don't think he was doing that as like, that's what I'm going to do outside the end zone. He was showing me when he gets back to his bench what it's going to look like. But it would be funny if that was a, you know, celebration. Yeah. He just has to actually score because if he's doing that just off to the side, on his own.
Starting point is 01:58:58 Coach might be. The play is under review. Look at my dab. No, fuck a dab, dude. You know how Big Cat used to be on that thing where he just, you know, and that's kind of like, that's what I'm going to do if he embarrasses me. I'm going to flip it right back on him. Be cool.
Starting point is 01:59:16 Nosedaps. What should be with your point of finger? Nose dab. Yeah, just do a nose dab. That's what's actually cool. Nose dab seems like, sounds like code for doing cocaine. Yeah, probably. Got that?
Starting point is 01:59:28 That's not bad either. Y'all have some good ideas today. It's my takeaway. Give a nose dab. Make, you had an idea for way to end the show today. Yeah, the Luca Men's Health cover, which was predictable. Yeah, Luke. And not only because he's with a new team, and Nico Harrison has created a monster,
Starting point is 01:59:47 Luca, at times, who can be a heavier set fellow for an NBA player, he kind of gets in shape at the beginning of every season. it's the end of the season where he may need to think about doing something a little differently. But this men's health cover is foolproof because man's is wearing a black A shirt, slimming, is tanned and is literally holding a dumbbell, engaging his muscles, acting like he is moving. and what Dr. Fax noted is a... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 02:00:28 Don't throw me into this hate. Historically, how you say, hood gymnasium. Oh, yeah, Luca, yeah. Where's he at? He went to Dykeman in New York. Dykeman. Yes.
Starting point is 02:00:44 Dykeman is like one of the most popular, like right next to Rucker Park or for outdoor courts to play in New York. Luca. was there. But why are you hating on Luca? Why are you trying to say that cover is a farce? That's what, that's all I heard with those things.
Starting point is 02:00:58 All I'm saying is, you guys are married the lead. All I'm saying is he could not have been set up more for success. Like everybody's like, oh, Luke. Yeah, but the lead is that he is skinnier. Yeah. And he moved to California. He stopped drinking is my guess as much. And he's on the left-handed siggies, dude.
Starting point is 02:01:18 That's my, that's my theory. That's my fan theory. You're still doing that hookah, though. Well, yeah, but hookah. doesn't make you hook is bad who can make you fat i just like give me a little bit of spray tan in a black beater and a dumbbell and i think i could look all right on that cover or he's just just buy it let's do it yeah really look at it out you set yourself up that's but look honestly or he's just tried to fit in l-a culture doesn't everybody in l-a do spray tan and you
Starting point is 02:01:53 You wear something that looks a pleased. Why does it have to be a spray tan? It's a summertime. He's in L.A. He's saying this. He's trying to put this narrative out of this. But this isn't honestly even where we're going. He just wanted to hate on the cover, and that's the end.
Starting point is 02:02:05 The cover made me chuckle. It made me chuckle. So then we started looking at older pictures of like people posing for shit in football pictures. They used to be. They used to be electric. Iconic. Do you know who this is?
Starting point is 02:02:20 I do only because I do. You tell the people, tell the people. Gerald Ford. Who was what? A football player. And a U.S. president. Yeah, went to Michigan. We had a guy with CT running the country.
Starting point is 02:02:34 Is that wild? Is he responsible for the cars? No. Okay. Good question. But can you believe that a guy that play with no helmet was like running the country? And did a good job, right? Didn't he do a good job by all accounts?
Starting point is 02:02:49 He's one of our better presidents? We have a reality. Ford? running the country right now. No, I know, but not, not. This was a more serious time. Okay. This is a fairly unserious time.
Starting point is 02:03:02 But yeah, like, that dude was out there in a leather helmet doing pictures like that. The only thing I don't like about some of these older pictures, it looks like you have to legit, like, stretch for some of them. Yo, look at this one. Like, how many people do you think behind the scenes might have, like, tweaked or like, you know what I'm saying? Exactly. This is a great shot. Do you know who my man is? Does anybody know who my man is?
Starting point is 02:03:24 No. It's Vince Lombardi. Wow. Look at Vince Lombardi. He definitely ate shit. Definitely. Like, how many times did you take this? Is this the first shot?
Starting point is 02:03:34 Dude, that would hurt like fuck to do this photo shoot. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Like a lot of these you look like you could get hurt. Also, like we can see this happening today, easy, right? Hey, like, let's just go out to the field, grab my phone, whatever, take a picture. What was the setup back then? Like, hey, we need you a full.
Starting point is 02:03:51 full garb put everything on and then you've got a tripod with the guy with the with the flash ball. He's like, oh shit, just missed it. Go rewind. Hold on. I got to do the flash. There might be 13 people. There might be 13 people behind this picture like holding huge stuff
Starting point is 02:04:07 a huge fat camera. Yeah. The dude goes under the hood. He's like, oh, we just missed it. Hold on. Do it again. Do it again. Line him again. I think that's the funny part is like, look, I mean, does he have dirt on his shirt? Is that dirt? and then he got it right like because look he's looking down like oh shit
Starting point is 02:04:24 he's looking at the land in like damn that's vins lombardi fuck bro if you if you hit your chin the wrong way that's your that's a few of you this is the greatest old picture ever dude that's concrete charlie that's chuck bed and eric nothing like finishing it just like like brutalizing a bunch of fucking steel workers basically at this point in the nfl and then going back to the locker room and being like let me get let me put a dart and a cigar in my mouth like maximum nicotine then michael finley walks down the hallway and takes them both out of his mouth michael finley the uh took the basketball player yeah he then work for the man i can't can't believe you lose all your player cred
Starting point is 02:05:06 when you take a beer out of lucas hand after the fucking no you don't you do not not when you're getting fat well yeah i guess maybe credit michael finley for that that men's health cover hey maybe but honestly like this is a fucking crazy picture those are some some thick wrists right there hell yeah dude was out there no wrist tape just body slamming body slamming dude he's got like a thermal under his jersey that's about it look at how you probably go ahead no he played center he played center and linebacker that's a great combo like basically you were playing it felt like playing high school football like both ways like iron man yeah beat to shit and then after the game you were like the coolest, you were like the hottest thing in Philly. Like you just went out and I don't know.
Starting point is 02:05:53 Played both ways in high school was amazing. Yeah. Look at look at that, look at this though. This is Blanda. George Blanda. The, the best picture with Blander when it's used is when you see it on social media and it's like George Blanda, 39 years old. Tom Brady, 39 years old. And Blanda looks like this and Tom Brady looks. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit different. How do you think Tom would have look back then you think he would have looked the same or would he have aged a little differently hmm I think it would look like that yeah we're all a product of our time yeah yeah I think bland of might be big sexy now yeah if he played till 49 speaking of big sexy yeah this is the one dude so my main question about the C long that's not my truck is all right I
Starting point is 02:06:49 get that in this picture then makes its way to rivals.com. Be rabbit. I can tell you the whole story. But the other picture where it's a closer up, close up of your face, and you got somebody to be like six inches above you? No, that's a yard above me. So you can look up at the camera? I don't know what that was about.
Starting point is 02:07:12 You thought that would be more menacing? No, I don't know what that was about. I'm going to tell you Jeff Hoss, who worked at Package Depot, um who own package depot excuse me it's a good friend tell him tell him paul's on that name it was a package shop across my high school and i had to take a picture for rivals and i was like well i'm gonna look as fucking jacked as possible we're gonna throw on a an excel beater and and um i'm gonna put my my knuckles behind my biceps you know that's a that's a that's a trick there i was two 555 in that picture same weight as i am now

Like, they'd be having a little extra one-on-one session. Why are you looking up Bruce Campbell? Well, I was trying to see if he played the league. Yeah, yeah, it sounded familiar.
Starting point is 02:12:20 Bruce was, Bruce is probably one of the, like, most. Wait, Google image Bruce Campbell? Man, he's the biggest dude that you, like, he looks like a front line soldier. 6,6, 320. Yeah, he's a big motherfucker, but he wasn't even the biggest, the biggest Maryland guys. They had. Gator. Gerard Gator.

And then I was like jogging not full speed to like a, you know, like a individual period the next week. And one of the coaches was like, you better start fucking jogging long. And I was like, I'll start jogging when you stop getting out coach or something like that. And Golden Herd Van Gogh. And what do you say?
