Ty really took one for the team there.
Yeah, he did.
Legend.
You're a legend.
Top of legends.
It is November 27th, the day after, well, we were recording this less than five minutes after Ty just got branded last night due to the Thanksgiving thank you sale that commenced yesterday at 7 p.m.
Where we sold over 10,000 items.
The original goal was 25,000 items.
First day, the sale kicked off.
Quick realization.
That's a lot.
We're never going to get there.
So we put a $10,000 limit on it.
We hit that, blew through that.
Somebody had to get branded.
It was intense in the office.
Oh, yeah.
We thought about the brand a month or so ago,
and then we didn't think about it again
until about two hours before said brand happened yesterday.
In this, I've never seen the office get the way it got.
Everybody was quiet.
People were starting to slam whiskeys.
Gumpy's here like a fucking idiot threw himself right into
the fire. That was wild.
The real issue was we
left the office for a quick minute today
and then we came back and we
had the brand and we tried it on a
wooden table and it almost set the table
on fire. Almost burnt the whole fucking office down.
And all of us looked at each other like, what the fuck are we doing?
Oh, no, no, no, we said.
This is a real deal.
But then my lady comes in here with our CFO Phil Mayne's wife and kids,
and they look at the brand, and they go, that's it?
And they're like, we burn ourselves with hair curler things every single day. I was like, what are you talking about?
That's bullshit. Not the same.
Not the same. This is
third degree burns that Ty just got.
Ty, during the live
lottery of who was getting the
brand, it appeared as if you knew
you were getting it the entire time.
I told Connor at like 2.30 today I knew
it was going to be me. How come?
Because I had a flight from Boston to Indianapolis Yeah, I told Connor at like 2.30 today I knew it was going to be me. How come?
Because I had a flight from Boston to Indianapolis this morning at 4.45,
hit some nasty turbulence in the air.
Thought you were falling out of the sky.
Exactly.
Thought I was going to die.
Typically, only one good thing can happen to you in a day.
I didn't die, so I knew the brain was coming.
Did anyone else pray?
I did, actually.
I went in the bathroom and said a prayer.
I felt a shit coming on.
What happened?
I went in and said a prayer.
It's like, hey, God, watch over me here.
I'm closer to God than you are because I prayed that you were going to get it.
I was like, I can't shit on live internet while getting the brand.
So I went and forced one out.
But while I was shitting, I prayed that I would not get one.
Hey, that's like football players before a big game.
They go into a stall, take a shit, pop a prayer.
I also did that with my girlfriends late, too.
I didn't do much praying.
But when it was down to me and Ty, I knew I was probably not going to get it
because Ty just has a terrible, terrible look.
When I heard Diggs start snickering too
when he pulled it out,
I was like, all right, it's for sure me.
There's no way he'd be doing that if it was Pat.
Well, I appreciate you guys.
We have an incredible conversation today
about me calling a game.
I think you're going to enjoy that.
Ty Schmidt is very much for the brand.
This is something I'll remember
whenever Christmas bonuses come around. I'll have to do that. Appreciate that. Appreciate Schmidt is very much for the brand. This is something I'll remember whenever Christmas bonuses come around.
I'll have to do that.
Appreciate that.
Appreciate everybody listening for buying merch from store.patmaggyshow.com.
We sold too much, to be honest.
It's way too much.
We shouldn't sell that much.
You guys do the best things imaginable to this small group of idiots in this small business world.
Dumpy, I honestly have no idea why you put your name on it.
Hardcore.
I didn't want to be a guy sitting
around all day if you're not involved and when i wasn't involved in the morning i could feel the
tension i was kind of laughing and i just didn't want to be that guy you got to be a part of it so
you're like give me that paper let me sign my fucking life away phil maynes put together a
contract that was like you can't sue us now your kids can't sue us later we ain't getting sued for
nothing and i was reading the terms i was like i almost don't want to sell i've never seen pat
nervous in my entire life except for last night when that picnic table almost went up in flames
i was like holy shit this is a real thing i think foxy was most nervous but like todd when we even
came up with this idea,
was like, fuck yeah, I'll get the brand.
And then 30 minutes before, he was like,
whiskey.
He's like, oh, man.
It got real.
Todd was not all in.
It reminded me of when I was on the bus going to boot camp.
You're all joking around, joking around,
until you get right up to the gate,
and you're like, oh, fuck.
Smoke came off of his leg.
Smoke came off of his leg.
Yeah, his little Iowa hair is burned off. He's going to have to deal with that for the his leg. Yeah, his little Iowa hairs burned off.
He's going to have to deal with that for the next week.
Yeah, it's a little tendy right now.
Your lady's a nurse, right?
Yeah, she's not happy.
Not happy with me.
Not only is that, she's a burn nurse.
It could have happened to a better human, to be honest.

and I'm not sure if I'm the first one.
I'm sure there's other people that have said this,

I mean, I created Gritty for the Flyers.
I've done a lot of things.

the time. Sam and I were very high

like these robots.
It should.
Why though?
We control them.
No.
That's what you think. But they can learn.
They can learn.
Yes, they can.
There were a bunch of Facebook AIs
who created their own language
and Facebook had to shut them down.
What are they talking about?
They're just being on computers?
They're talking about us.
They're talking about whatever they want.
They start to think they're
real and they adapt and they learn
and then... Who's that?
They had this podcast about finding Richard Simmons.
It was nuts. Everyone listened
to it for some reason. No one knew what they were talking about.
They have three laws. That kicked us out of the number
one spot for one bullshit.
Yeah, that was fucked up. It was. I don't fully
understand how these things can even exist.
I think you guys are all watching movies and freaking out. Yeah, because we create them and we give them their own intelligence. Yeah, but you fucked up. It was. I don't fully understand how these things can even exist. I think you guys are all watching movies and freaking out.
Yeah, because we create them, and we give them their own intelligence.
Yeah, but you ever seen that one that can run and jump?
Oh, once that guy figures it out, oh, we're fucked.
That thing's got no leverage.
You just tap it, that thing's falling over with the quickness.
Oh, the new updates, it doesn't fall anymore.
Oh, updates.

I actually have heard it's good, too.
I've heard it's good. It is.
It is good.
It's nice.
Yeah, but you're a Canadian.
I don't think it's animated, though.
I wouldn't compare it to the Jim Carrey Grinch.
You would compare it to the original cartoon.
And it's good?
It's a new take on it.
It's really good.
Pharrell, who made The Who Shoes, he did all the soundtrack, right? Really? Yeah, he did the soundtrack. to the original cartoon. And it's good? It's a new take on it. It's really good. Farrell,
who made The Who Shoes,

Really?
Yeah, he did the soundtrack.
And then an English guy
is The Grinch.
And they wanted him to be English
and he said,
no, no,
that's not The Grinch.
Correct.
So I respect that.
He went method.
Cumberbatch.
Yeah, Benedict.
Oh, he just loves showing off.
Yeah, he does.
He's like,
yeah, I'm super British,
but I don't have to be.
That would be nice.
Yeah, I could do it. Voice over. I asked my agents about voice over gigs. Yeah, there you go. Nice. How does this work? And they're like, yeah, I'm super British, but I don't have to be. That would be nice. Yeah, I could do it.
I asked my agents about voiceover gigs.
Yeah, there you go.
How does this work?
They're like, well, first you have to have a notable name.
Okay.
I was like, what's that mean?
What that means is we're never near that.
I called a game on Fox Sports 1, though.
He said, yeah, maybe one day.
But this holiday season, as you rack your brain for the perfect gift,
maybe you're thinking a brand for your producer.
Okay.
Maybe the guy that produces your show.
You're thinking, I'll gift him a brand.

His underwear.
I might need a couple.
He's wearing a diaper right now.
They are polo, okay?
These are polo boxer briefs, my friend.
They're not.
They're very logistic.
Who is your grandpa's?
Yeah, like I said, family heirloom.
They're yellowish.
Will you show, Pat?
They're not even white anymore.
I missed something.
I went to the bathroom.
Everybody earlier, before we were doing the brand,
was preparing for where they were going to put the brand.
I come out of the bathroom and they're like,
wait until you see what Homeless Connor wears.
Are those from Jerusalem?
What are those?
They're polo!
Can you move over for the camera?
They're literally just all white boxers.
They used to be white.
True.
There are a little...
What I think happened was was
the new pull your pants up i was just showing jesus christ i think what happened was the new
black jeans oh yeah yeah i wouldn't get new clothes yeah yeah they kind of rub off on the
other ones oh so it's changing the white exactly it's making a little darker it's giving it a
little shade if you're wearing white underwear aggressive decision that's how i know you're
young yeah i don't know 10 years that's how i know you're young right now
wait until that booty hole wants to speak white underwear white socks they don't exist in my no
way i'm all black cuz well i switch up the socks hey by the way one white one black who knows by
the way things are looking up for you connor you two zito foxy the pub's got a lot of members right
now thank you to all the members that purchased a shirt this Thanksgiving you thank you a worse we're huge now massive
not big enough easy really we went from three to whatever it is I don't even
know the number there's 500 members of the poem I not only went through the
first time the first time the pub was brought up we were laughed at and here
we are selling merch hey but we do got to thank all of you
in the room. You guys are all a part
of this. We thank you as well.
The house is going to get condemned. We had to take advantage
of this as much as we could. That house is about
the top of inside of itself. I took my first
time in there. You guys said there were some pub grades. The only
pub grade is that the floor is still standing.
It was a little dirty when we went in there.
It was a little dirty. It's the Monday
after a long weekend. I think we can all agree. A lot of beer pong. You can hear me. It was a little dirty when we went in there. It was a little dirty. It's the Monday after a long weekend.
I think we can all agree.
A lot of beer pong.
You can hear me.
It was a long weekend.
But, you know, there were many pub grades.
And the floor is just one of the many obstacles that we face.
We try to walk downstairs and you're literally,
it's like you've got to be like the red panda on the stilt
to get downstairs.
These steps are like two inches wide.
Our property manager said they're going to replace those like three months ago.
Yeah, it didn't happen.
By the way, I bought a pub shirt.
Did you?
I did.
I am a fucking pub.
Welcome to the pub, Pat.
Welcome.
It's great to have you.
You would think with our business we'd be able to get this stuff.
No, no.
We have to buy them.
Our number's added to the 10,000.
I mean, we don't
even have a pub shirt yet yeah founders you should have bought one like the rest of us if it means
anything i don't have one either yeah i mean i don't think anybody in this room has a pub shirt
yet no no you'll get here within by the way the new supplier we're with has been turning things
around pretty quickly there's a uh there's someone i got tweeted today has their stuff yesterday
already has it yeah somebody had their stuff, I think, on Friday somehow.
Yeah.
I think it was in the area where we're shipping out.
So right now, we are sampling a supply company to get through Black Friday here.
They're a good group of people.
They seem to have done great.
We were originally with a company called Printful, which was out of Lithuania.
If there was any customer service issues, there was no response.
So we had to move to another supplier we we've enjoyed their business thus far but there has been a lot of offers presented to us
in the very recent future as in yesterday so we'll see what happens but the merch business is one
that i am so grateful for the people who listen to this show. Yes, absolutely. You keep our small business alive.
And it's because of you, the people that listen to us,
laugh with us, follow us on the internet,
that I got a chance to do a game on Saturday on Fox Sports 1.
And we dove into quite a vitamin-dup conversation earlier about it.
Here it is.
Boys, I got to call a game this weekend.
You did?
Oh, yeah.
I'll tell you what. We walked in there. First of all, let call a game this weekend. Oh, yeah. I'll tell you what.
We walked in there.
First of all, let's do the whole weekend.
So I fly to Dallas.
Okay?
Black Friday.
I fly to Dallas.
I land there like noonish or so.
I get the rental car.
Everybody that I go work for gets rental cars.
By the way, they got me a larger, a full size. You got a good one.
I got a full size.
Good for them.
I got a full size. I got an SUV. Shout out Fox Sports for getting me a Dodge SUV. They got money. They got me a larger, a full size. You got a good one. Yeah, I got a full size. Good for them. I got a full size.
I got an SUV.
Shout out Fox Sports for getting me a Dodge SUV.
They got money.
Damn.
They got money.
And there was tint on the windows too, man.
When we get that minivan for the WWE, normally it's like a goddamn magnifying glass with
the windows.
It's very difficult, but it was pretty.
I got a Dodge SUV.
Dodge is making some plays, by the way.
I'm the type of guy that shouldn't be in a rail car, by the way, because I almost bought
a minivan a couple times now for having it.
And then a Toyota sedan in Los Angeles.
I drove that thing into the fucking dirt.
Literally into a curb.
Literally into a curb.
Drive it like a rental.
Did that for sure.
This time I had a Dodge SUV.
It was very nice.
Very, very nice.
Drive over to the hotel.
Super yuppie place.
I'm talking next level yuppie resort here.
So a nice hotel oh very nice
with a spa the whole kit yeah the whole thing you hit that up uh i was thinking about didn't have
enough time didn't even get to eat this seems to be the the trend of my trips never eat never eat
everything's just bing bing bing bing there's no food here you're there you're there you're there
you're there you're there bing bang boom gone unless you want to wake up like 5 a.m to eat
which i am not gonna do i am gonna steal those sleep hours
we go to a production meeting that's the first time where i meet everybody we drive
in uh sean kelly okay so sean kelly was the play-by-play guy he's from new orleans new orleans
yeah he's the new orleans pelicans play-by-play guy in the new orleans saints play-by-play guy
he has his kid with him it's me aj sean A.J., Sean, and this guy's kid.
He's 18 years old.
He's a young buck.
So we drive to the Baylor Hotel.
I've never been in these before.
I've never been in the media coach, media player.
I've never been asked to have been in one.
As a player, I was never asked to come talk to the media the day before a game.
So I have no clue what to expect expect i walk in there obviously unprepared sean kelly has this full
notebook in front of him aj hawks got that big ass card that you see them with their name everybody's
names on it with a pen and pencil i got a sleeveless on and jorts and i'm walking in there
i got like my vape pen in my pocket i grab a cup of tea and i sit
down at the table so the first guy that walks in charlie brewer right they're asking him all these
quarterback questions like this that and this that and i just start opening up a little bit i'm like
uh baylor a good time you have a good time at baylor and he was like yeah i was like and i
noticed on his hand he has a mustache a fake mustache tattoo on his middle finger yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah so
i see that down there i'm like you have a good time apparently you have a good time don't you
and he was like yeah i have a pretty good time down here i was like yeah yeah yeah is that mustache
gonna make an appearance in the game he's like we'll see so i just i turned it into like an
interview i just turned it into an interview full conversation with the kid kid who's very cool
daps me up goes and walks out and they have their notes down and stuff like that and i was like uh if it was good enough in a conversation i'll remember it that's
what i'm they're like why don't why aren't you taking notes they said i'm like well if it's good
enough i'll remember it if it was a good enough quote i will remember it last question i asked
him was what's your favorite play and he said any pass i was like which one though he said the deep
ball cuzzy he said and then gave me things So I knew immediately that I like this kid more than everybody else on the
field.
Cause he dropped a cozy to me.
I mean,
this guy knows who I am.
This guy knows my thing.
I am going to put over in the wrestling terms,
Charlie Brewer.
So if you see at the beginning of the game,
I introduced Charlie Brewer.
It's called a quarterback walkout.
I learned a lot of these things,
which I assume you learn in four years of broadcast school or in that broadcast boot camp and i put his little
ass over i was like this is my motherfucking dude so we go through the whole interviews coach rule
comes in he's sweating he's sick he's talking about all these things and they're all taking
these tedious notes just huge notes and i look at him and i go uh i go uh what type of coach
you a hard-ass little coach or what
he said well i'm not the most fun coach and i was like what do you mean by that he was like well
last week at halftime i actually had to tell him to have fun because everybody was too tight trying
to make a play but bye he said i believe there's a couple things you can control you can control
your effort you can control uh the the pre-snap stuff if you do that, I'm not mad at you. But if you don't, I am tough to deal with.
I was like, perfect, thank you.
So the entire game, all I was trying to get in
was that this dude was a hard ass.
The entire game, I'm just trying to get in
that Matt Rule was a hard ass.
So you're going beyond and bringing,
you're humanizing these figures on the field.
So in my head, that's what I thought.
So all these interviews that I have with these people,
in my head, I'm just like, all right, i'm just trying to make them human i don't really
give a fuck about the x's and o's because personally i don't know to be honest i have no idea what's
going on out there so then we get the game day aj hawk lets me drive his rental car we get lost
dallas police by the way not the nicest we were we were half maybe like uh i was gonna say half
field like 50 yards away from the parking lot that we were supposed to park in,
the media parking lot, but it was closed for emergency vehicles only.
This is 8 a.m.
The game's at 11 a.m. there.
There's nobody around us except for us.
We got one cop hand out like fucking Texas Ranger right in the middle.
And you could drive.
You could drive through there,
but they have it closed just for emergency vehicles.
We're one of only 30 people that are at this stadium at this point.
I'm like, yeah, we're parking in that one right there.
He's like, not today.
You've got to go out, around.
So we had to drive all the way around Jerry World.
I get car sick because we're driving in a circle.
Go in.
We finally find our spot.
Then finding the booth was its own nightmare
because that stadium is so large.
We were in the Spanish radio booth at one point, which is so large we were in the spanish radio
booth at one point which is on the other side of the goddamn stadium we were on the field before
we made it to the booth because we're just taking wrong turns and then the game got started and i
ain't never been more excited in my life i was i had no idea how it was gonna work i i knew nothing
of how sean kelly was gonna sean Kelly did well. Don't you think?
Very good at give and take with you.
The first little bit,
I'm not sure he knew what was coming. I don't think he did either.
The play-by-play guys, I didn't know this,
they bring their own spotters.
His spotter is his friend from
New Orleans named Kyle. Big fan of the
show. Kyle, shout out
Kyle. Big fan of yours whenever he met
me the night before he was like i hope somebody gets branded and i hope and i hope it's digs
that was when i knew i was like oh this guy's real fan all right everybody wants
fuck kyle i understand you might not like kyle but we all like k, oh, this guy's a real fan. All right. Everybody wants Diggs to get bring up. Fuck Kyle.
I understand.
You might not like Kyle, but we all like Kyle.
But he's his spotter, so he brings him.
And then he has his own stack guy named Alan, who's from New Orleans, who he brought.
So the play-by-play guy brings.
He's got a whole team.
They're all in the room with you guys?
Yes.
Yeah.
They come in.
So it was very interesting.
I'm like, oh, I've got to get a play-by-play guy so I can just bring my squad in the fucking
booth.
Imagine Diggs up there. I'm like, I got to get a play-by-play guy so I can just bring my squad in the booth. Imagine Diggs up there.
I think it's 24.
Because the spotter does a lot.
I have eagle eyes.
Well, the spotter had binoculars.
He points at who's making the tackle.
That's how the play-by-play person knows without seeing.
It was all very interesting.
But we do that first open.
He's reading over the drone shot of AT&T Stadium.
And we did it beforehand
right so we pre-taped that because i think they're all very scared of me being live i guess that's
like the hardest part they call it aj hawk was like if we can get through this open we'll be
able to do anything and for me i thought the open would be the easiest part yeah because this is the
only thing where i know what i'm talking about right so the first time through sean there's a
couple blips finally i'm the last one so you remember
when we did that flip cup thing yeah where we were trying to make it on one flip yeah and I was the
last guy so you guys can fuck up a couple times and before me getting even a single rep right you
know because you're trying to like do it one one one but we're going back so I hadn't even got a
shot yet we're on like take four by this point so now they get theirs right and now it's up to me i'm like ah if i fuck this up we gotta go back to take five i was like fuck this
up as aj's talking i'm like i ain't gonna fuck what are you talking this is what you're supposed
to do you ain't gonna fuck this up and then aj finishes and i'm like well here's my first time
speaking on a goddamn network let's go for it and i had a i just from that point forward i ain't
never been more comfortable doing something. I was so comfortable.
So you enjoyed it a lot.
And I don't think I should have been.
You know what I mean?
No, I think you should have been.
I thought it was obviously a way different dynamic than you get.
Like, there was a show within the game for the first time.
Yes.
And it was a game, unless you live in West Texas,
or it doesn't mean a lot to the rest of the country.
But this was entertaining for anyone.
Whether you knew anything about Baylor or Texas Tech or not,
you and A.J.
Boy, A.J. was great at feeding softballs.
He's quick, isn't he?
Oh, man.
He's good.
He fed you perfectly.
Honestly, I thought his big CTE ass would be slow.
He was fat.
Because every time I talked to him, always very comedic, right?
Because he has a dry sense of humor. He shots at me i take shots at him we have a very good relationship
very lucky that aj was the other guy in there with me i don't think they did that on purpose
by the way really i don't think fox i think it just kind of happened and it just happened to
be magical but aj was quick he was and watching him work and there was a lot of fun. Him being your straight guy, it's a good combination.
FS1 needs to think about it.
I know.
I know.
I thought it was pretty funny, too, when Sean started laughing at you guys.
He couldn't control it.
Because I think he's a very serious broadcaster.
You know what I mean?
Sure.
When he was asking these questions to Coach Rule, Coach Snow,
who's the D coordinator, who's been there for 42 or been coaching for 42
years by the way that's a long fucking time hates rpos by the way don't doesn't think it's real
football but hey what are you gonna do but when he was asking these questions you could tell he's
he's obviously a very serious broadcaster i mean he's a professional broadcaster but whenever i
finally got him to crack i felt so good i was like yeah welcome sean i actually welcome to the
show here, Sean.
I just wanted people to feel as if they were watching with us.
And I think that's the thing that I've learned from watching football for the last year and a half is these commentators never think like, hey, we're watching football with you.
It's not really like you're, you're not, we're not watching you.
We're watching with you.
Right.
And that's, I just wanted to make it a party in there.
I really did. Yeah, when you brought up Kingsbury's gray pants during an injury timeout,
Sean goes, critiquing fashion during injury timeout, Pat, huh?
Well, obviously, I hope the guy's okay.
Obviously, I hope the guy's okay, Sean.
But that is Cliff's decision.
And him going with gray pants I thought was an aggressive one
because he could have went all black. AJ was like, I think that's Under Armour's decision, Pat. It's pants, I thought was an aggressive one because he could have won all black.
AJ was like, I think that's Under Armour's decision, Pat.
It's not, though, by the way.
That is the coach's decision.
I only know that because Sean McVay's crew looks much nicer than everybody else.
And Chuck got to pick what the coaches wore, too.
So that is the coach's decision.
And in my head, you're Cliff Kingsbury.
You're very attractive.
You have black and red.
I mean, that is an alley-oop to look good i mean
that is what we're all looking for so in warm-ups i noticed that whenever cliff walked out oh that's
a handsome son of a those pants are terrible why are we not wearing black pants and i was like well
that's going to get mentioned at some point in my head how many times did you catch yourself
wanting to say something but then going a different direction because you started talking about the
italian punter and you said he brings a lot of great things to the table he looks great
food and i know you wanted to keep going and then you just kind of steered it more towards well
big ball he big balls he got big balls i did organized crime was right on yeah
organized crime was right on deck it's a lot of it's just like when i do the wwe network stuff
it's a full mental Gymkhana, basically,
so I can not swear in there or say anything that crosses the line.
Pissed off the Big 12, though.
Why?
A lot of people dressed like seats here today.
I guess that one.
Like the actual Big 12 reached out?
Yeah.
So I guess obviously every conference has somebody that watches the broadcast.
And I just got a little mention in my ear from the producer, Jesse, who we will be talking to today.
You might have already heard that interview.
He goes, hey, I thought it was funny, but try not to take a shot at how little there are people.
And there's a talk back button right i'm
like why what happened you're like big 12 wasn't excited about it people dressed like seats line
i was like oh okay sounds good in my head though i was like i the internet's loving that one if it
means anything i was checking the action on it but it was uh did you sneak every word in what's
that every word you wanted to bring into
the broadcast i didn't use bamboozle i was gonna try to use the word bamboozle that was really
when i wanted to drop in there somebody got bamboozled but it just say matriculate like a
drive yeah yeah i did hey god aj i could tell he stumbled he i could hear him like pause because
then he kept going he's like yeah they really are putting a great drive together here taking a lot
he tried to like explain it without laughing.
Did you hear him say you're irrefutable?
Yeah.
Oh, I had a blast.
That was so fucking funny.
As soon as he, because he leans over on the thing.
He takes a knee sometimes, I guess, while he's calling it
because he's like super football guy, enjoys taking a knee.
He wore a suit specifically so he could take a knee.
The pants could move.
But he bends over on that cowboy's booth, I guess. wore a suit specifically so he could take a knee the pants could move but he's like he like bends
over on that that cowboy's booth i guess they told me i will never touch i would never step foot in
another tv booth that's anywhere near that nice it looked real spacious just from the picture i
guess troy acheman designed it really yeah so troy acheman actually designed it he's like well if you
guys are gonna make me fucking call games here there's a bathroom in there. There's like a coffee thing.
It's really – AJ and Sean said,
you will never step foot in a nicer booth than this.
Your first game ever.
I might as well retire.
Might as well retire.
Which is weird, though.
Wouldn't you think that's the place –
like those are the voices of the game in your stadium.
Wouldn't you want them to compliment your stadium as much as possible
and have an enjoyable time there?
In my head, you would think that. but i think these broadcasters normally not me
obviously but they are so educated and taught that you are just as strict no matter what the
circumstances you are calling the game so for me i almost complimented the bathroom in the booth a
couple times but i couldn't get it in there was a couple times i was looking to sneak it in like
man he's bathrooms in his booth i almost gave troy Aikman a shout-out in the middle of the game.
I'm like, shout-out Troy Aikman for doing this.
I felt good in that booth.
You've seemed comfortable.
I think we're talking about it right now, so we're mid-conversation.
So I don't want to give away anything in the future.
Just know that a huge reveal happens in just five minutes from now.
Huge.
The biggest reveal of all time.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
Massive reveal. If you figure out what it is, tweet now. Huge. The biggest reveal of all time. What? Yeah, yeah, massive. Massive reveal.
If you figure out what it is, tweet us.
Okay.
Also tweet,
if you are in the 66% of men
who lose their hair by the age of 35.
Connor, get on Twitter.
Zito, get on Twitter.
Go ahead, Frankie Boy, Gumpy, Dixie.
I'm okay.
Get on the internet.
Gumpy, you didn't deserve that.
You're from Canada.
You need some hair left if you're going to get on Twitter.
Sorry.
That was for me.
That was me.
With the beige undies over there.
I see.
The thing is, when you start to notice your hair loss, it's too late by that point.
It's easier to keep the hair you have than to replace the hair you've lost.
Is that hairline slowly starting to move backwards?
A little bit.
Are there any bald spots yet?
How will you feel a year from now if it's business as usual up there?
I ask, do you want a bald spot to pop up or do you want to do something about it?
Do something about it.
Do you want your hairline to recede or do you want to do something about it?
Do something about it.
Why do guys turn to weird solutions or do nothing when they can turn to medicine and science?
Ever heard of it?
We just didn't know.
What's that?
We just didn't know.
You, with your hair loss.
And now we do know.
Now, if you were you a couple years back, you would have went right over to forhims.com slash pat.
That's forhims.com slash pat to get a trial month of
HIMS for just $5 while supplies

supplies last forhims.com slash pat well let's get back to the conversation but aj's in his full
bend over the thing and he by the way i there's a couple of things I didn't do.
I didn't get the fact that offensive holding should only be five yards,
not ten yards because that can be called on every single play.
I think it's bullshit that it's ten yards.
It completely fucks your entire drive because it's a ticky-tack call too.
There's a couple things.
AJ always tries.
He said, every time I'm on TV, I'm trying to change the rule that college kids,
if they're down and they're not touched, they should be. He said, every time I'm on TV, I'm pushing to change the rule that college kids, if they're down and they're not touched, they should be.
He said, every time I'm on TV, I'm pushing it.
I'm trying to change the rules of the game.
And I'm like, oh, I got a couple rules I'd like to change too.
And that was one of them.
I want to change that.
But also the refs looking at that tiny little camera.
Awesome.
Hilarious.
What is the greatest life?
Cousy.
Ref Cousy, you're missing it.
There is a 75-yard tv right above your head and then jesse the producer
they got a shot of him that guy that guy was awesome that guy was absolutely awesome but aj
saying i'm not sure they're gonna have irrefutable and i just turned out and i started laughing like
like on the air and he looked at me,
and you could see it in his eyes.
He was like,
oh, fuck.
And there was no way I was just going to let that slide.
I had a blast.
That was a stern ref.
He gave a good, stern call.
I feel like the ref never gets complimented.
Now, granted,
if I do another game
and that ref's stumbling,
look out, ref.
Look out, stripes.
I'm coming in.
Was it hard to sneak in?
Because you have to stop talking certain parts of the game, right?
So I only know that because of WWE.
So I got a text from Michael Cole and Tom Phillips that asked me,
is your only training for this at the Performance Center in our booth
when it was, I think it was Kane versus Brock Lesnar.
I called a match in their performance center.
They have this little room where you can put on headsets
and recall an entire match.
They're like, is that your only training?
I'm like, absolutely.
And they're like, Jesus Christ.
Somebody's going to get fired for this.
I was like, could be.
Could be.
But I know that there's things you're not supposed to step on
just naturally from watching.
So I was trying to lay off as much as I was starting to get real comfortable, though. I was starting to get real comfortable. that there's things you're not supposed to step on just naturally from watching so i i i was i
was trying to lay off as much as i was starting to get real comfortable though i was starting to
get real comfortable and i noticed that a little or late i was like all right too comfortable
the uh the rabbit out of the head oh yeah that one that's probably right when you uh got a little
too comfortable i felt good about it yeah i needed to i felt really good about it. Yeah, you needed to. I felt really good about it.
There was another one, right in between our eyes.
That almost came out whenever I was like,
Charlie Brewer's becoming a real-life college
football quarterback, a superstar
right in between our eyes here.
But I was like, don't do too much.
Don't do too much.
Don't do too much.
The third guy is a good role, by the way.
It's a good place to be.
I think you ended up becoming the second guy.
Well, AJ doesn't talk as much.
He said he's not scared.
But AJ's there for the info.
The football info.
He's there for that.
I'm just there strictly for my observations.
And I actually saw some people on Twitter who hated me early,
like Texas Tech Baylor people early. but I got them by the fourth.
They all came back by the fourth.
So you were checking your phone the whole game?
Halftime.
Halftime, and then when I would run and piss, I would give a quick little.
It was pretty active, though.
The internet, very thankful for everybody watching that game
because there was another pretty big one happening at the same time.
The look good, feel good went pretty good.
Yeah, shout out Dion. A little alley, feel good went pretty good. Yeah.
Shout out Dion.
A little alley-oop from A.J. Hawkins.
I don't think he knew how much I do live by that motto.
So whenever he set that up, I mean, that thing is literally sitting there. I think the two parts that set that off were at the end,
or maybe just an injury.
Yeah.
Killed me.
Big pop on that punchline.
That killed me, but the internet enjoyed Keep Up Sean more than anything.
Yeah, me telling Sean to keep up.
I thought AJ opened the door nicely a couple times, too,
to get your analysis on a punt.
You don't hear that ever in a game.
You guys came back from commercial, and it looked like a good punt,
but he punted it to the wrong side of the field.
Yeah, and I actually called it, ooh, a beauty when he hit it
because it was turning over nicely.
And then I just looked at the coverage real quick, and I was like no this isn't good so i actually asked the producer the earpiece i was
like uh in the talkback button it's just like a cough button where you press it nobody can hear
you live but you're talking right to the truck i go hey can you give me a behind shot of that punt
i feel like you might have put that the wrong side of the field and then they're like uh look in your
uh iso camera i was like where where's that they're like right in of the field and then they're like uh look in your uh iso camera i was
like where where's that they're like right in front of you and down i was like oh shit oh there
it is they're like uh what do you want us to do i was like just press play real quick and their
entire punt team released left which means they thought the ball was going left i was like yeah
yeah yeah he was supposed to punt that left he punted right huge return it was uh they're like
all right we're gonna come right out of commercial with that. I was like,
with what?
They're like,
that punt.
I'm like,
oh,
okay.
Am I,
am I talking there?
And I'm like,
they're like,
yeah.
I'm like,
okay.
I'm like,
AJ,
excuse me.
Sean,
please shut the fuck up.
And at this point,
Sean and AJ and I are very tight,
right?
So everybody's laughing.
So I do the whole thing.
I wish I would've had the fucking,
uh,
tell us.
Yeah,
man. I would've went draw in there. Did you guys do the whole thing i wish i would have had the fucking uh tell us yeah man i would have
went draw in there did you guys do the announcer night before um dinner yeah we went to eat at uh
this japanese place this japanese place i got because i remember kirk saying that's how they
they build camaraderie have little beers before that sean guy i'm big fan of what he because he
said he listened to the podcast last week because his friend Kyle told him to,
where I think my first comment was,
does anybody know who the fuck Sean Kelly is?
So he brought that up at dinner.
He was like, I heard your podcast.
He asked if anybody knew who the fuck I was.
I was like, oh, I'm so sorry.
I didn't, Sean.
I'm so sorry.
I'm happy I know you now.
He turned out to be a good guy.
Really good guy. The whole Fox crew there. I'm so sorry. I'm happy I know you now. He turned out to be a good guy. Really good guy.
The whole Fox crew there, everybody was so nice.
What did they think about your costume?
Everybody loved it.
Oh, it was good.
When AJ called you a 16-year-old, I died.
I fucking died.
I had boots on, too.
Didn't get to see the boots in the shot.
I like a wide shot.
I had some black shit kickers on down there.
Belt buckle didn't get enough play
in the first one so at halftime i had to open up the suit coat i was gonna go no jacket by the way
for the second half the second half leader or the halftime leading i was gonna go no jacket
and i had it down and i'll tell you what i look thin because it was all black i've been fasting
for a little bit and i was like i look like one of those guys at any country bar that's dressed
in all black up front and it was every motherfucking dance every single one if you're
ever at a country bar saloon and there's line dancing you look for the motherfucker dressed
in all black and he's right up in the front he knows every single one and if he doesn't he's
making every single one up i looked exactly like that guy and i'm standing there aj's like oh
aggressive look no jacket i'm like is does that mean something like am I supposed to wear a jacket he was like I don't know you do
whatever you want I'm like whoa
so they're like 30 seconds I'm like give me
that fucking jacket
I put the jacket on I'm like I'm leaving it open though
because this goddamn belt buckle's gotta eat
I had a blast on there I'm glad you
pulled the trigger on the bolo tie it looked
awesome thank you I appreciate that
I didn't fully know what I was
gonna do I had a lot of options in my, and I had to go with it in the morning.
Bullet ties and aggressive shot for your first time on a network.
Now it's going to have to be a thing.
Wherever you're at.
It suited Jerry World perfectly.
I appreciate that.
Gumpy, by the way, from Canada, joining us here for American Thanksgiving weekend.
Gumpy, how are you?
Great, you?
Did you watch the game? No, I was driving here. Oh, you missed it. Gumpy, how are you? Great, you? Did you watch the game?
No, I was driving here.
Oh, you missed it.
I know, I blew it.
My lady didn't see it either.
She thought the game was at three for some reason.
She lives in my house.
She was in my house.
She DVR'd it, though.
Yeah, yeah.
I guess, which doesn't make any...
I think I DVR'd it, actually.
We did, too.
Okay, good news.
So we have it.
So she didn't see it until she got home at like halftime,
and she was texting me like, oh, shit, I didn't know it already started.
I'm like, yep, yep, it's going average, by the way.
It's going average.
And then she watched the second half,
and she sent me a very nice text afterwards.
It was like, hey, because I've always wanted to do this.
I think anybody knows that this is something I've always wanted to do.
I was really excited, and
I think
I did. Is it something you'd be interested in in the future? I think
so. I don't think it could have gotten any better.
We talked about it, but the fact that
it would have been easy for you to compromise who you
really are and just do what everybody
else does and just blend in,
but the fact that you
maintained being Pat McAfee
was huge.
You also had a professional side about you, too, which surprised me.
You ending the broadcast as well saying, oh, I just did average.
And when you said good job, I say average, I say.
Michael Cole, though, Michael Cole was the only guy I could get any information from.
He's my only friend that's a broadcaster.
And Michael Cole has been like a real mentor to me.
This guy has been very nice.
He was the first person to ever let me on network microphone.
So I sent Michael Cole a text.
I go, okay, you have time?
It was my first one.
He said, what?
It was his response.
Perfect.
I'm third man in the booth for a college football game tomorrow.
In your opinion, they're having me in there to just act like me, right?
I'm not supposed to act like an actual third man in the booth. I literally have game tomorrow. In your opinion, they're having me in there to just act like me, right? I'm not supposed to act like an
actual third man in the booth. I
literally have nobody else to ask this question to.
So I hope you
he goes, you never interrupt.
I'm just teasing. I think you should split the
difference, he says.
I wouldn't wear shorts and a t-shirt.
As far as
presentation, I think you need to remain
Pat McAfee, but you're also a serious football player. So I think you should provide that Pat McAfee but you're also a serious football player
so I think you should provide that side too
remember you're the third person
they have a play-by-play guy and an analyst
you're there to provide a little bit of color, fun, and true feelings
that's the night before I get that text from him
and I think that's just
it even goes even more to the fact that
Michael Cole is the man
he's the fucking man
I think you did that
to a t yeah i think i think so i honestly think i'm very hard-headed and stubborn but i do believe
i am coachable okay because a i want to be better because if i'm better i can talk more that's the
only reason why but i i really appreciated that message and i enjoyed the fuck out of it bob
cavoyan from bob and tom sent me a nice long text message afterwards. A lot of my old teammates sent me messages.
It was really cool.
I might change the way some games are called, though.
I think so.
The thing I was so impressed with is you could have your own thing that you were doing,
like being funny, but then you could hop right in.
If a play was going on mid-play, you could hop right in and give your analysis
on the back end of that, and you didn't have to compromise in between there.
All those times where I had
to sit in actual football meetings
and listen to actual football coaches with
actual football, it all paid off
because I was starting to see some things
and I was like, oh, fuck, I remember this in the
meetings where they were talking to people that weren't me.
I remember this, and it was all starting to
come together. It was really... I mean, when the
NFL tried to do this with Dennis
Miller, and it was a i mean when the nfl tried to do this with dennis miller and it was a
big disaster for one he they finally now have a comedian who was an nfl player what that so he was
missing that plus his comedy didn't suit that kind of entertainment anyway well yeah i think dennis
miller was an aggressive choice they also had that other guy the corn heiser yep and anytime i
talked about calling games everybody would send me tweets about yeah look how it worked out for corn heiser and dennis
miller and it's like it's very different it's very very different and i'm happy that fox gave
me a chance because not a lot of nobody would actually they give you guys like a report card
after the game or anything like that i wonder if like the actual guys like agent because i'm not a
full-time fox person i wonder if they do get one of those things.
Like a ref gets a report card after a game and shit like that.
I feel bad about that.
What are we doing here when we're going to another review?
I'm actually not a big review guy.
Big sideline heater, the guy, though.
Big sideline heater guy.
So last week, I should have went into that a little bit more.
Cliff Kingsbury was crushed by the media because he didn't let his players have any sideline heaters in K-State.
And they lost to Kansas State. And he was media because he didn't let his players have any sideline heaters in K-State. And they lost to Kansas State.
And he was asked why he didn't let them.
He was like, well, we had them in Iowa last year.
We lost.
This time we lost.
I was just trying to keep them engaged in game.
And I didn't get a chance to talk to Cliff one-on-one,
but I would let him know.
Asshole fucking move.
Cold as shit back there, bro.
Warm is always better.
Warm is always better.
I was a big sideline heater guy.
Me and Vinatieri, huge sideline heater guys.
That's a Hall of Famer.
That's what I'm going to think about.
I had a blast, man.
I really did.
I really did.
It came across.
No swears.
Said hell.
Yeah, you're allowed to say that, right?
My bookie was in a fucking little bit of a pretzel.
Because I guess there was a bet on whether or not I'd swear, right?
But they didn't clarify.
Yeah, but I said hell.
So I get a text from my bookie.
And he goes, I watched the game.
Did you say any other swear words other than hell?
I was like, no.
He was like, you know, you put us in an interesting spot.
I was like, I'm so sorry.
He said, I don't think hell is a swear word.
He said, I don't think hell is a swear word.
So I think he paid people out for that.
I think there was some real money made on that.
By the way, I'm assuming everybody thought I was going to swear.
No, I don't think so.
Because you never swore on WWE.
That's the thing that put me over on that.
I'm like, he's been doing the WWE thing for a while now.
He definitely can't cuss on there.
There was a couple close ones.
Whenever the guy made a huge play
D-Lyman
I dropped a whammy in there
I dropped a whammy
That was almost like a
Fuck it
That was real close
Because in those high energy ones
Is when you don't have as much as a filter
I was enjoying it
Fun time
I'm thankful for Fox Sports
Letting me do that
Very thankful
Now here's the man that produced
The whole goddamn show
Jesse
Ladies and gentlemen Joining me now is the man who produced the texas tech baylor texas farm
bureau insurance shootout this past saturday at at&t stadium ladies and gentlemen jesse west
what's up jesse not much that was easy that was easy for you to spit out there geez ah i'll tell
you what it was very interesting that the name of it was the Texas Farm Bureau Insurance Shootout,
but I love the ability to make money off of everything these days.
That's the point. That's the point.
Okay, Jesse. So obviously a lot of my people that are listening right now watched the show on Saturday,
watched the game on Saturday.
They were anticipating there was bets.
There were sports books that you could bet on my performance.
Would I swear?
Would I break an FCC rule?
Would I drop a for the brand?
Would I embarrass my family?
There was actually wagers that were happening there.
All these people had all these expectations for how I was going to do.
You, the guy who actually had to produce the show, going in whenever you hear that I'm going to be there,
how did you feel?
What was the initial reaction?
And were you shitting your pants a little bit?
Well, the reaction was,
it was also my first show producing
in the chair of football games.
So I said, please God,
don't let me get fired after my first show.
That was my initial thought.
But the point is, know fox likes big personalities
and they're a little on the edgy side so you fit that perfectly i mean that was and you were
yourself during the game so you know as far as that goes i had no issue there you know fox was
all over that um you know you worried me twice during Friday to Sunday, I will admit.
When you came in with the cutoff shirt to the coaches' meetings,
I said, oh boy, here we go.
You know what?
Personally, I think the Baylor guy loved it.
You know, Coach Rule and Brewer, they loved it.
I think they opened up and gave us more answers
because I think they felt comfortable,
and your focus wasn't on the X's and O's.
You kind of wanted to get to know them personally. So that was number one. The second thing is when you called me an hour before the
game saying, hey, we can't find the booth. We're going to have one announcer. So after all of that,
the game went pretty well, I have to admit. So I asked AJ, I asked AJ because I didn't even think about this meeting with the coaches.
I've never been a part of one of these before, even as a player.
I mean, eight years in the league, four years in college.
I was never once invited to the media conversation
with the people there at the hotel.
I had no idea what to expect.
So I asked AJ beforehand.
I'm like, AJ, what the hell do i wear to this thing
he was like i'll be comfortable i was like so like jeans and a tank top he's like well don't
wear a tank top i was like i got sleeveless hoodie it's a little bit it's a step above
tank top so i didn't know what i was walking into but i i when i walked in there and i saw
everybody how everybody was dressed i immediately gave like a i fucked this one up i fucked this
one up for sure so are you so are you blaming are you blaming aj for a
little sabotage there is that what's going on here absolutely i mean do you hear him all game he was
trying to sabotage me the whole goddamn game jesse but you know what people need to realize
is if they didn't watch the game you're on camera look man you were dressed to the nine
that belt buckle the brand new boots i mean you were silent you were silent how about the bolo
tie jesse when i showed up with that when you saw me wearing a bolo tie were you just like oh this
is my first time ever doing this and all of a sudden it's ruined by this absolute moron
i i thought to myself everything's bigger in texas so let's go
i talked to aj because obviously that was my first game. So I have nothing to compare
it to, but the producer is in your ear, right? So Jesse is in my ear during the thing, telling us
what cameras coming, what replays are happening, things that could have possibly happened on it.
He said that you were incredible in how calm you were in a, you were definitely helping us out a
lot. I would talk about something and you would help me
as opposed to aj normally says that the producer yells at the talent to talk about something because
they found it i think now granted i've only done it one time but i think you were like fit for this
job i think you're supposed to be in that position is this something you've always wanted to do
well yeah i mean i'm a golf guy and you know obviously the match was going on and I would
have loved to have done that but you know didn't get the opportunity but yeah I mean this was
this has always been something I've been looking forward to doing and you know I'm normally on the
high on the sidelines with Holly Saunders and they gave me a chance and uh like I said I haven't got
a call saying I'm fired yet so it must have went okay how about when I took hey call you and they
call you and fire you yet, or are we still good?
I have gotten zero updates other than the fact that there might have been a question
on whether or not I was a hardcore X's and O's guy or not.
I know that is not the case, but you know what your fans do need to know?
I will say one thing.
You pointed out there was a punt, and we went to commercial,
and you said in talkback, you're like, I got this, I got this. I got this i'm like what do you got you're like this punter went to the wrong side
here that's why there was a 45 yard return and stuff like that for your first time man jumping
in and taking that opportunity to tell us why that happened that was that was there's a there's
a future there for you well i would i would hope so i mean the it. The only thing I was missing was the goddamn telestrator.
You know, I thought I'd get a chance to draw on the goddamn screen there, Jesse.
Well, you're not John Mann just quite yet.
How about, so you're a big golf guy.
I took a shot at Tiger and Phil in midway through like third quarter, I think.
I took a shot at him.
I did hear that. It's okay, though i i i did i did hear that it's okay
though it's okay you know it they it's okay rumor has it it didn't go so hot so hopefully the fans
came over and watched uh watched our game the next day so so after those meet i don't know how
those meetings normally go the ones we were in with baylor i had a feeling coming out of that
meeting that the baylor team was feeling a lot better about themselves than the Texas Tech team.
Is that normal for those types of meetings, or is this something that just is kind of, I don't know if that makes sense, what I just asked there?
Well, I mean, it does, and I don't know if it's normal.
I mean, let's be honest.
Cliff was in a bad situation with the quarterbacks going on, and normally you don't get that.
I mean, he threw a guy out there he had to who was playing on one leg.
You know, and Baylor had Brewer who, you know, I mean, let's be honest,
the kid was a stud last year, and he's just getting better and better.
So I think you get a feel for the meetings, and, you know,
normally we get to go out to practice, but being a neutral site,
there wasn't that.
So you get a good feel, but you never know what's going to happen.
These are college kids going out to play.
Who knows what's going to happen when they get out on the field.
Brewer balled out.
He said Russell Wilson was a guy he looked up to.
I respected that a lot.
We got a lot out of those interviews.
I enjoyed the whole process, Jesse,
and I just wanted to call and thank you here on the show.
Not a problem.
You know, I hope that your 1.4 Twitter followers liked it, and my 67 Twitter followers, they loved it.
You might have a couple more.
Okay, this might be a personal question.
Are you wifed up?
Do you have a family and all that?
I do, yeah.
My daughter, she's having surgery actually tomorrow just to some procedures just
to clean up a few things so she's gonna hopefully she gets through that and everything's gonna be
okay okay well nothing but very positive thoughts for you and your family what did your your family
think of the show though because that's probably big for them too your first time getting to run
the gig there did they watch did they enjoy it were they nervous for a potential like what was
how was the whole family reaction that's a
big moment for you too by the way it is a huge moment and the one thing i'll tell you my mother-in-law
who knows nothing about football said i really like that number 21 from texas tech he's a he's
a crafty little guy so yes they watched it and they must have enjoyed it so uh that's all that
matters oh that's awesome well i appreciate you jesse you nothing but a gentleman. Good luck in the future and maybe
we'll work together someday again.
Sounds good, man. You take care. Cheers, man.
Shout out to
that Jesse guy, by the way. Golf guy.
Had to produce a football game first time.
I'm on it for him. That had to be tough.
He was definitely sweating bullets
there. He mentioned how when I walked into the
Baylor coaches meetings with
a sleeveless on and jorts, he was a little bit worried about what was happening.
I had a good interview with those guys, though.
I treated it like they were literally just getting interviewed on my show.
A lot of X's and O's talks from Sean Kelly and AJ.
I just came in here and asked the real questions.
I want to hear the real stuff.
Yeah, you got to personalize them.
Exactly.
Let's make them some humans, Donner.
Speaking of the weekend, though.
Yep.
I never got a chance to really watch much else that happened.
Sunday I watched a lot of NFL, but the other college football stuff,
I guess there were some real upsets that happened.
I guess that Ohio State-Michigan thing was insane.
The weekend, terrible block there for the Oklahoma-West Virginia game.
West Virginia got fucked.
But, Diggs, what all happened this weekend in the football world?
LSU-Texas A&M went to seven overtimes.
Oh, I saw the fake Gatorade show.
Oh, yeah.
Coach O got a little Gatorade shower.
Early, right?
Uh-huh.
Right in the bowl with like a minute left in the fourth quarter.
That's awesome.
That is so awesome.
And then seven overtimes.
It was a wild game.
What time did it end?
Like 1 a.m.?
Yeah, it was around there.
Right around there.
I had Texas A&M minus three.
Oh, that's tough.
One by two.
Couldn't have just done something different seven overtimes.
I played in a four-overtime game, I think.
That was a long one.
Because the college rules that you have to go for two, right?
That's how you lost?
Because the one team?
Yes.
After the third overtime.
Yeah.
So you're either as a kicker, you're either kicking a field goal or nothing. That's it. After the second overtime. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so you're either, as a kicker, you're either kicking a field goal or nothing.
That's it after the second overtime.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, college overtime is a good format.
A lot of people talk about how the college overtime format's a good format.
I love it.
Seven of them is a long time, though.
It's a long time.
It's a long fucking time.
Ohio State waxed Michigan, and it was a bloodbath.
That was during the game I was calling.
Yes.
That first update came through, and it was a real shocker across the headset.
Whoa, what's going on?
It was 21-19 at half, and then it was just an absolute blowout in the second half.
You know what Harbaugh's known for?
Just losing it in the second half.
Is he gone, huh?
No.
Bro, he's 0-4 against Ohio State.
They're not firing him.
Michigan's ruthless, though.
0-4 or 0-5.
Yeah, they gave Brady Hoke fucking years to do it.
It's true.
They got Rich Rodriguez out there with the quickness.
Oh, yeah.
That guy was calling people a lot of terrible names,
doing a lot of bad things.
But he wasn't a Michigan man.
Nowhere near it.
Harbaugh is a Michigan man.
What would Harbaugh...
You think Harbaugh would want to go back to the NFL or no?
That's what I want to see.
I don't think so.
You want to see him, Chris?
Yes, absolutely. No way. Gumpy, how do you feel on that? Carbaugh would want to go back to the NFL or no? That's what I want to see. I don't think so. You want to see him up there? Absolutely.
Gumpy, how do you fall on that?
He was good on the Niners and he didn't want
to be there. All the talented players he
had there and he left that.
I think he's a guy who's like,
I've had enough of this. I'm moving on.
He was at NFC Championships and then he left.
Hey, Kaepernick. I think his shtick
ran dry after a while.
Will it happen in Michigan?
Who knows?
Well, yeah, and I just think what he does works better for college kids than it does grown men who are trying to play.
Having sleepovers.
Yeah, exactly.
High school kids.
All the Michigan alum were being ruthless against themselves.
As they should have.
They were ruthless against themselves.
I love it so much.
I didn't get to see any of it.
I just heard the updates.
Oh, you barely beat Rutgers. Oh, no, I know, I know. I'm just being petty. I didn't get to see any of it. I just heard the updates. Oh, you barely beat Rutgers.
Oh, no, I know, I know.
I'm just being petty.
I want the Harbaugh project to fail, so I like seeing it.
Why?
Because, dude, they thought national titles year after year,
and they're not even beating Ohio State once.
Oh, boy.
Ohio State's pretty good.
There was a big...
Oh, I know.
Not this year.
There was a big to-do on the internet.
Somebody said, like, Urban Meyer is a terrible human.
It was a real report.
I think it might have been, I don't remember who it was.
Terrible human, but he's a great football coach.
And then that went on with a bunch of people saying, like,
oh, saying he's a terrible human is a little bit wrong.
And then this other guy was like, nope, covered him in Florida.
Covered him in Florida.
It was a very crooked operation he was running down there.
He's an overdramatic piece of shit.
He has a tough PR image, man.
They gave up 51 in Maryland the week before, too.
Out of nowhere.
Like a kid ran for 298 the week before.
They gave up 50 to fucking Purdue.
Hold on.
And now they're thinking
they might potentially get in a playoff.
They'll get hosed again.
Same as last year.
There'll be a one-loss team that doesn't get in.
Same as last year.
If they win and Oklahoma wins, it's-loss team that doesn't get in. Same as last year. If they win and Oklahoma
wins, it's between those two.
Oklahoma has to get in.
Yeah, I hope so. By the way, that game
in Morgantown was an awesome game.
Those refs fucked West Virginia over
so hard, man. I got a shot
in at that, too, on the telecast,
by the way. I was like, let's hope these refs
don't make any calls for blocking too good.
That's what screwed West Virginia over. The for blocking too good. That's what screwed
West Virginia over the kid blocked too good.
Blocked him onto the sideline, buried him.
Blocked him off the field.
Yeah, he punked the kid. That's what you do.
West Virginia could have got a stop too.
Just one time. It would have been nice.
But that's how Oklahoma got a
stop because of that. It was like they
couldn't get a stop either. Well, they scored on two
fumble returns. It's a shame, man. It's a shame i was watching that game late night ab dressed up
like the fucking he looked awesome yeah i put that tweet out he looked awesome i got crushed
really oh he's not pulling for west virginia i'm like well he i noticed that he's cheering
i noticed he's cheering with the other team but we could just talk about his fucking jumpsuit with
velour jacket on top of it on primetime TV. It's not about who he's
cheering for. It's hilarious the way he looks.
By the way, Antonio Brown could probably walk into any stadium
he wants and do that.
Just so happened to be WVU.
Blaine Stewart, one of the wide receiver assistants.
Dad used to be the head coach at WVU.
He and AB are friends because he
works with them with the Steelers. I'm assuming that's the
end there. Get him on the sideline. I hope he enjoyed
his time in Morgantown,
took that Rolls Royce diner probably.
He's got a few of them.
Those potholes.
I don't know if the mountains,
I don't know if they have the Porsche from when he got pulled over for going to the game.
110.
I wonder how long that trip from Pittsburgh to Morgantown
was in A, B driving.
About 25 minutes?
25 fucking minutes, probably an hour and a half.
Sunday was a wild day of football.
They fucking fumbled the game away.
Again, two interceptions, two fumbles inside the 20.
They did that with Jacksonville last year, too, didn't they,
Roethlisberger, on the goal line interception?
Yeah, yeah.
Ben just likes to make things exciting.
We were due for a loss on the road.
I thought that was a win, though, for you guys, for sure.
No, they were due.
They were due.
If it wasn't that, it was going to be Oakland in two weeks.
Oakland, by the way,
huh? Lamar Jackson is now
the starting... Bro, they were
13-point dogs going in to play
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
13-point dogs.
That has to tell you something about it. And then they cover.
The Ravens covered and then some,
by the way. Oh, that was a great one.
It was a late cover, T-sizzle, 50-yard fumble recovery.
Dude, he looked fast, too.
He did.
Judon from the Ravens told me he was going to put a beam on me a year ago.
He did because I told him he should always bet on his dick.
Well, you should pick heads.
And it was just, yeah, you should pick heads.
He picked tails.
They lost, whatever.
So he said he was going to put a beam on me.
But in a press conference afterwards, he said that somehow T-Sug's old hamstrings held up while he was sprinting.
And I lost it because Terrell is old.
Oh, yeah.
He's an older gentleman.
He's been in the game a long time.
He's been a legend a long time.
He was outrunning dudes.
He was smoking fools.
That was an incredible play by him.
Juju's also very deceptively fast.
Juju, 97-yard tut. Two of them this year.
He had angles on him.
That was awesome.
And he still lose, by the way.
Yeah, he has stuff.
Normally, when you have a 97-yard touchdown, you don't lose.
Well, four turnovers inside plus territory and a block kick.
Not great.
Hey, Colts, Dolphins.
Gumpy was at the game.
Colts came back.
Did you enjoy that?
Colts are making a little run right now.
I thought we were going to get spanked.
And then we were up 10 with eight minutes left.
And the play calling is absurd. Dolphins got really dolphins got really lucky though i mean i think we can all agree
the coach was steamrolling them in the first half and the dolphins were just stealing points almost
it felt like stealing points yeah there was a moss for a long touchdown that happened that if that
doesn't happen there's a punt the coach probably it just seemed as if everything was going the
dolphins way i had drake drake was going well, and Gore was going well,
and then Drake got hurt.
And then we had the ball on your own 10
with a chance to go win the game.
Oh, yeah, three minutes left.
And you know you're going to punt,
and Luck's going to get the ball at half.
You know what's happening.
With less than two minutes left.
They were pressuring Luck yesterday, too,
for the first time in two weeks.
He hasn't had a sack in like six fucking weeks.
Luck said he's no longer catching receptions.
He said that last week too.
A lot of people were going after Frank Reich for that play.
Why?
That's what all the local media were calling it.
They were comparing it to the fake punt that we ran against the Patriots.
Why?
The second dumbest play since this because he ended up getting tackled.
It worked.
It was just a bad throw was
the issue like he had to go up again oh yeah he came down but if a corner is gonna bury andrew
luck i think andrew luck is gonna take that to heart too you know like that was a big fourth
down play huge play and everybody was going after frank right calling it a dumb play which i get it
because if he lands on his shoulder but i mean mean, he's never really got hurt on the field, right?
He's only got hurt on the slopes.
What are they worried about?
As long as he's not fucking going down the hill,
he's fine. The Colts are all the way back,
though. Colts are back.
Touchdown for Ebron, too.
Ebron just scoring and scoring, scoring.
Panthers blew
fucking... Vinny's son got
in his eyes, by the way.
I thought it was blocked.
There was already...
Dolphins already blocked a pun.
I was going to say it was a rough day.
No, no, he just...
The sun got in his eyes.
The wind came in.
He got the game winner.
A shout-out yesterday on the broadcast.
Broncos came in and got a win there, huh?
Good for them.
Panthers blew a lead.
They were up seven with four minutes left.
Couldn't cover that one.
Fucking Russell Wilson came back.
Russell Wilson.
By the way, everybody dislikes him.
Everybody seems to dislike him.
For good reason.
But he made a play.
It seems as if lately he's been making plays when they need him to make a play.
Fourth quarter, Russell Wilson, Sierra doing a little shiggy dance, play whenever it seems as if lately he's been making plays when they need to make a play fourth
quarter russell wilson sierra doing a little shiggy dance comeback sebastian janikowski it's a winner
it was almost like i don't want to say it was anywhere near what you know when tom brady gets
it but it felt like as soon as russell wilson got that ball it was like oh we know what's going to
happen you know miss that field goal we know what's going to happen here i don't think people's
hatred for russell wilson comes from anything on the field i like. We know what's going to happen here. I don't think people's hatred for Russell Wilson comes from anything on the field.
I like watching him play.
He's fun to watch.
It's everything off the field.
He's tough to handle off the field.
Tough to handle.
And he gets going, too, when he was talking.
He did that post-game interview, and he was like, and then Jan Kowalski, the Hall of Fame kicker,
and he's out.
And he's like, whoa.
I don't think I ever see Seabass miss.
The only time he'll miss, it'll be like a real bad one.
It's probably because of like a plant issue or something.
Like yesterday when he was kicking, I was like, oh, this is, there's no,
like I had no doubt he was going to miss.
He does hit it so clean, it seems like.
How come the onside kicks, they don't do the big looping?
It's these dribblers now.
Okay, so I asked Tom McMahon this question.
So I sent him a text.
I was like, listen, I might not understand the new rules,
but why is nobody hitting the high hop?
Because we had a lot of success in Indianapolis with the high hop.
And he told me this.
He said, you're only allowed five by five.
You can't have overload.
Two inside numbers, two outside numbers,
and the biggest killer is the feet have to be planted in the ground at the 34
until the ball is kicked.
Bottom line, balanced seesaw, no overloads,
no winning leverage pre-kick, and no rolling forward starts.
The ball beating the coverage unit to desired spot of contact.
The only kick that automatically forces the opponent
to have to make a play is the dribble.
So they're just banking on a scrum potentially happening from the dribble.
So the high hop, you get a chance with the rolling start
that you guys, it's a time.
It's a jump ball.
But the only way that now they can guarantee that somebody has to make a play is the dribble, I guess.
The high hop gets there too quickly.
Yeah.
Yeah, but if you get somebody who can really hit one, I still wonder if like.
I haven't seen anybody.
No.
Even try it.
Collinsworth talked about it Sunday night football.
Yeah.
He said the success rate has dropped so much,
he's like, I think they should give the quarterback
like a fourth and 15, and if he converts that,
you keep the possession moving.
Yeah, they have to do something because the game's over.
I feel like I have to.
Yeah, exactly.
The game's over.
The onside kick was a big deal.
I don't want to say this as I was the greatest
onside kicker to ever play, but I think I probably was.
It's one of those things where that's a huge advantage
if you have a good onside kick team because you're in it.
You're still in it.
Now, granted, I missed a lot too.
There was a lot that we didn't get, but I think we got four in one season.
It's one of those things where they've taken that completely out
with these new rules, so the game's over.
It's like if you're up two scores late in the game, it's over. Exactly.
Which is wild to think about. That's not the game.
I don't know how to solve it. I don't think
I like the fourth and 15 because any penalty
gives you an automatic first.
That's a good point. And there's just too many
defensive penalties for that. That's almost
too much the other way. Too easy.
Yeah. They should just allow the
rules to go back to the old kickoff rules.
I think so. If it's under two minutes or something.
It's not even close.
I haven't seen one that's even close to retaining.
Very easy.
All of them have been very simple coverages.
Covers.
And they're guys that I thought used to be good at the onside kicks
that are trying to do the dribble.
You're right.
You're 100%.
Because I was mind blown.
I actually put a tweet out.
I said, I don't know why dudes aren't doing it anymore.
And I got a bunch of responses from internet people
that think they know. But then when I got
that message, because it was befuddling
so much, I actually texted an NFL
special teams coach. I said, hey, why is this happening?
And he was like, basically
the new rule is we can't do anything. And it makes
sense if you think about it, I guess.
The only way you can recover it is if the other
team fucks up the recovery. So you gotta
just get a little worm burner, a little
squibbler in there. I can respect that.
Speaking of Sunday Night Football, the Packers are dead.
Yes, they are. I bet on them.
Packers are dead. So did I.
You know why? Because whenever I see
Aaron Rodgers in primetime,
I'm like Aaron Rodgers in primetime.
And Kirk Cousins in primetime. I go
the other way. 4-13 in his last 17 before Sunday Night Football.
He's five and 13 in primetime football.
Aaron Rodgers comes out of that goddamn cave like it's Easter
every time on primetime football.
No matter what's around, I'm getting dragged around.
That's what I thought.
My lady, too.
Sam and I both hammered the Packers.
Hammered the Packers on my bookie.
We both passed out, woke up.
It was like fourth quarter, and I was like, what the fuck's going on here?
What's going on here?
Are the Vikings good again?
Or are the Packers bad, Ty?
The Packers are bad.
They're very – they haven't scored points in the second half
in the last two weeks.
Like they get off to these hot starts and then just – it's coaching.
They don't make any adjustments at halftime none whatsoever like it's it's um i mean i'm okay with it now because
mccarthy's gonna get fired he's done so that like that's the silver lining but also rogers didn't
play great last night he missed adams he missed a lot of throws like and he was the first one to
say like hey i need to play a lot better but again, the positions he's put in with some of the play calls, it's just...
Hey, he's got a lot going on.
He does.
He's got a lot of turmoil going on down there on the internet.
He's raising some money for Paradise.
Butte County over there.
And his family's just like, nah, dog.
You're raising money for a lot of people.
His brother is such a chode.
How about when you didn't call your mother to see if she was burning the flames his brother's been taking shot at him for years he's the guy from bachelor
right yeah i want to see lions practice school i wonder what happened something happened oh yeah
at some moment something happened me and my family got into it a little bit early
because i thought they'd change they thought i'd change for like a month or two and then my dad
basically came and talked to me and we had a quick moment but i could see how
a family can get divided quickly if something because you're gonna a big lifestyle change
comes in flying real hot you see it with a lot of players in the nfl i'm not sure about aaron
rogers situations i don't know if they grew up with money or not but i wonder what there was
one situation that happened that has not been resolved that boy it got real petty out there on the internet the rumor is that when he started
dating olivia munn his family really didn't like her and he was just like well fuck you guys i'm
not gonna break up with her i'm not just gonna end it and that's like what really started the
divide hold on now they're broken up now yeah so you would think directly after that you go back
in there not someone i think you you look like Rodgers is a very personal guy,
and then his brother goes on The Bachelorette
and airs out all this dirty laundry on ABC, on national TV,
and tries to body bag him and makes him look terrible.
And if I were him, I'd be like, all right, fuck you guys.
I don't want anything to do with you either.
Yeah, I mean, he wouldn't have been on that TV show
if he wasn't Aaron Rodgers' brother.
Exactly, and he wouldn't have won if he wasn't Aaron Rodgers' brother.
And Aaron is an alpha, too, for his brother to try and take shots.
I mean, it's always attached to him, too, right?
What do you mean?
Like, him by himself.
Oh, yeah.
Nothing without the Rodgers' last name.
Like, he retweeted Aaron's tweet to go at him.
It's very interesting, man, because you hate to see the family stuff,
especially when he's doing something.
He's trying to raise a couple million dollars for people it's like oh yeah but let me go ahead and
bury you real quick about how you treat your mom that's like that's a wild scene there it's a wild
i feel bad i don't like it i don't like being in that drama type stuff i don't i and i'm assuming
aaron doesn't like it either by the way no exactly which is why he doesn't want anything to do with
him might be why he played bad though i like No, exactly, which is why he doesn't want anything to do with him.
Might be why he played bad, though.
I like watching it.
Could be a reason why he played bad.
Might have been distracted.
You know, there's people that don't feel bad about stuff.
Yeah, sociopaths. I've always mentioned this.
There's people that don't feel bad about stuff.
Like, I do.
Like, I do feel bad about stuff.
So when something happens at night, it really does.
Like, I do feel bad.
I don't understand the people that...
Like, Aaron Rodgers might be a guy who truly feels bad bad and this type of shit can distract you if it's your family
trying to really ruin like that's a distraction for real if you do feel that way you know i think
deep down he may be kind of playing like shit because he wants mccarthy out oh so you think
this is like that one like a lot of guys aj hawk told me this this weekend he said uh i was on
punt team one time and i was like really he, yeah, played so bad they took me off.
I was like, yeah, good.
A lot of guys do that.
You think that's what Aaron's doing?
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, he sees now it's like, all right, well, even if they did make the playoffs,
they didn't have a good enough team to really make any impact or make any run at the Super Bowl.
So it's like, screw it.
This guy's not worth a shit.
Okay, so Gruden's tanking in Oakland.
Yes.
And Aaron's tanking in Green Bay.
Gruden for the first pick, Aaron for a new coach.
Yep.
I like it.
Oh, speaking of new coaches.
Yeah, buddy.
Rumor came out that Hugh's going to be the next Bengals coach.
Hey, man.
Randall, old cousin Demarius Randall,
handing him that interception was awesome.
Love that move.
So good.
And then Baker coming out
Flying afterwards
I know
Baker is on one right now
And he's winning too
He can do whatever the fuck he wants
I've decided that I hate Baker now
I've decided
I don't know if it like
Clicked in my head
That I realized
He's the Cleveland Browns quarterback
But I fucking hate Baker now
Why?
Because he's going to do damage
To the Steelers here in the future
He's not doing damage to anybody
I think he's a player bro That little Fucking short five What is he? Five nine He's not going to do damage to the Steelers here in the future. He's not doing damage to anybody. I think he's a player, bro.
That fucking short 5'9", he's not going to do dick damage.
Why are you hating on Baker Mayfield right now?
He stinks, dude.
What do you mean he stinks? He's winning in Cleveland.
You beat the Bengals. They're the worst defense in the league.
That would make sense if you were saying any other team he played for other than Cleveland.
He's winning in Cleveland.
I know where he's winning.
Nobody wins in Cleveland.
Baker Mayfield's winning in Cleveland. Derek Anderson won in Cleveland. He's winning in Cleveland. I know where he's winning. Nobody wins in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield's winning
in Cleveland. Derek Anderson won in Cleveland.
America's team.
I'm just...
Everyone's too high on Baker, which means I have to
hate him. Oh, so you don't like that
people like him right now. Yeah.
Oh, classic digs. Yeah.
But I mean, I'm not like that with everybody.
He's a little too cocky. He should be.
He's a little too cocky for me.
Damien Woody goes after him on first take,
and then he fires back in the comment section.
I love that.
I mean, he's awesome.
I mean, he did leave Texas Tech for Oklahoma.
Not on scholarship, though.
He's getting a scholarship pool to Texas Tech.
Yeah, and Hugh got fired.
Like, he came at Hugh for going to the Bengals when Hugh got fired.
Hugh's still getting paid, though.
That's what he's talking about.
Hugh's getting paid.
He's doing that job for free.
He's, like, volunteering to do that job.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
But, I mean, if you leave the game for six months,
who knows if you'll ever get back in.
Just real quick, I am not against Hugh taking this job, right?
You do what you got to do.
But I'm not against Baker coming out and clapping against him either
because this means Baker did not like him while he was there.
Oh, no, he hated him.
Yeah, and it was very easy to tell Adorn Hard Knocks
whenever he asked Baker, like, what time you get here?
Baker's like, I hate it.
I said, what time's Tyrod get here?
Five.
Well, you ever think about doing that?
And Baker's like, no.
That conversation was the one that I was like,
yeah, this is going to be, because he didn't get,
I don't think he got Baker.
I don't think he wanted to get Baker, by the way.
He wanted Baker to change as opposed to it.
And Baker can just –
Baker's just letting it eat right now.
I think it might be also –
I also might just be mad at him
because the only fan base that chirps me when the Steelers lose
is the Browns.
Not one other fan base.
I don't know why, Diggs.
Have you heard yourself on this show?
Have you listened to the words that come out of your mouth?
When you haven't won for, I don't know, 70 years, that's on them.
So you just did it again.
That's on them. You just continue did it again. That's on them.
You just continue to do it.
I got so many yesterday.
Watch out for the Browns.
The Browns are the king of the division now.
No, you're in last fucking place in the division.
See, this might be why.
Just all these things that you say here might be why.
Rivers had 25 straight completions yesterday.
Hey.
And he, the one where he's rolling right for the touchdown,
that literally looked like he threw that like Conor McGregor that literally looked like he threw that like Conor McGregor.
He looked like he threw that like Conor McGregor, legitimately.
And the check down, or somebody tweeted something, by the way,
about Blake Bortles looking like they're throwing it like Conor McGregor,
and Conor McGregor responded.
He said that he could rip the crust off a pizza with his precision.
It was something ridiculous.
But Phillip Rivers legitimately looked like Conor McGregor on that rollout throw, and it was something ridiculous. But Phillip Rivers legitimately looked like
Conor McGregor on that rollout throw.
And he was dying. I don't know how he does it.
They are not bad.
The Chargers are not a bad team.
That game next Sunday night is huge.
Who do they play?
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Every game for the Chargers is an away game.
They don't have home games.
Melvin Gordon's out too.
I don't know. Maybe back-to-back losses for the Pittsburgh Steelers?
No, I would be.
So the Denver road loss doesn't worry me because that's what they do.
But if they did lose to the Chargers at home on primetime,
that would actually worry me.
What is it, Sunday Night Football?
Yeah.
That's going to be an awesome game.
The Chargers every single year.
Great team.
Nobody talks about them.
By their own faults, by the way, they decided to move to the City of Stars second.
Yeah.
Second.
And the other team just so happened to get really hot at the same time.
The Chargers are just like a forgotten team.
They're like the Sacramento Kings of the NBA.
They really are.
The Chargers are the Sacramento Kings of the NBA.
I have no idea.
Sometimes I forget that the Chargers exist.
And then you just see these highlights of Phillip Rivers just beating and slicing and dicing the fuck out of people.
25 in a row is a lot of completion.
A lot of completion.
I mean, I retired on a one completion streak.
I retired on that.
Pretty good.
Thank you.
Pretty good.
What have you done for me lately?
Correct.
Who's next?
All those things.
But then you see them on highlights every once in a while.
They pop up.
It's like, wow, the Chargers are really good every fucking year.
They seem to be good.
And if they had a kicker, they'd probably win three or four more games.
Phil Rivers doesn't get nearly the amount of respect he deserves either.
Shout out to his bolo tie, too.
Yes.
I felt like him when I was playing.
Yeah, because he's never won a playoff game.
I know, but he's the benchmark of consistency.
He beat the Colts in a game that Mike Cyphers won the game for him,
basically, because they pinned the Colts inside the five like 10 times.
And Hunter Smith, I got drafted right after that game
because I think Hunter Smith kind of had bad setup every single time,
and they beat the Colts in the playoffs.
So I got drafted because of a punter, basically, and Phillip Rivers.
Well, he's also the one quarterback in that draft class that doesn't have a Super Bowl.
That's true.
Wow.
He's also the one guy that plays on a team that nobody knows exists.
They always have so many injuries, too.
They always do.
This Melvin Gordon one, just adding to it.
Last of the day, the Bills ended Blake Bortles' career.
Blake's done.
Why are you saying that?
Well, they announced today that Blake is no longer their starting quarterback.
Poor fucking Blake. Who is it?
He fired their offensive coordinator.
Cody Kessler.
So this is another
time for me to bring this up.
Everybody hates hearing it,
but Colin Kaepernick is
still not on the team.
And who's starting for the Jaguars?
Cody Kessler. He wasn't good enough for the browns
nobody is by the way they're hot right now they're hot right now i can't believe you took a shot at
offense coordinator was fired in jacksonville as well did you see the fight in that game by the
way no it was a decent one oh yeah hyde came in and knocked four nets helmet off by the way
but if you're in a football fight and you i've said this a couple times there's been a few little
scrums that came around on my kicking net and a couple people start going back and forth the first
thing i would do is grab my helmet and put that motherfucker on i'm like all right i don't know
what's going to happen but if a helmet's available yeah a helmet is on i put that thing right on
hyde comes over and tries to break it up his own teammate knocks fournette's helmet off and you see
fournette as soon as that helmet comes off it's like oh shit and then he buries his head and
he tackled the guy and just held him down on the ground and then i love that up in the tunnel oh i
love there's this one like three little guys holding back that big monster that's where you
look it was i loved it man i did that. I absolutely loved everything about it. I seen it on my phone.
I seen it on my phone, you see.
I'm a big fan of that.
I love that.
There used to be fights in practice.
I enjoyed them, man.
It's a very physical.
I don't like being in them.
I'll get beat up.
But if two guys have a problem with each other,
I'm okay with them wearing pads and fighting each other.
And then afterwards in the locker room,
if it's in the team, I'm definitely going to give a full breakdown aloud so that we all get
back along i don't know if for net and that guy will ever get along again it seemed as if that
lossing guy was not happy with mr for net for that was waving at him while he was walking out
for that might be a motherfucking real one by the way yeah he took yeah i think he very much is. He's looked 32 since like age 12.
He was at LSU looking like a goddamn,
like the dean of the school, running motherfuckers over, dude.
That was fun.
That was pretty much it.
And then last night the Titans and Texans played.
Oh, the Texans get that big win there down at Reliant Energy Stadium in Houston, right?
The Titans look so good.
And then the Texans were just able to pull it out there.
Yeah, by a field goal. They didn't cover, though.
Oh, really? Is that what happened?
Deshaun played so well.
Pretty decently, yeah. J.J. Watt with that incredible play that one time.
That was awesome.
Wasn't it? Jadavion Clowney also coming off the edge, kind of squeaked him by.
Shout out to Demaryius Thomas for getting his first touchdown as a Texan.
Also, Nuke.
Yeah.
Nuke had an incredible night. DeAndre.
You know, the Tennessee Titans seem to really
be clicking, and Vrabel seems to be making all the right
decisions because he coached in Houston, remember.
So this is his return back. A little
payback game. They made it a real dog
fight down there, but Monday night in
Houston, it's going to be tough to beat the Texans there.
That's what we saw.
Yep.
What if we were exactly right?
If we're not, we're going to hear about it.
All right, sure.
Get some tweets.
Maybe you shouldn't do full analysis of games before you steal.
Somebody got branded.
Just know that.
Incredible show today.
I enjoyed it.

Seems like it was God's plan.
You sent up a prayer, but there was nobody there.
Because we singed your hair.
Everybody take care.
I just might hit the music.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you want me to actually put music behind it?
I'd like you to keep in your question there
and then put music right now.
Sounds good. Yeah.
