Today’s show is a great one. First, former Heisman Trophy winner, 1st round draft pick of the Denver Broncos, the greatest college football player of all-time and current outfielder in the New York Mets organization, Tim Tebow, joins the show from Top Golf in Atlanta for an incredible conversation. They discuss what it was like being Tim Tebow in college, his transition to the NFL and the most difficult part, talks a little bit about his perspective about life, chats more about his MLB aspirations and what his walkup song will be, and how he handles all the scrutiny every time he does something (4:51-27:37). Also joining the show is the king of scoops himself, one of the best in the game at his job, the creator of the “Adam Bomb,” Adam Schefter. They discuss what Super Bowl week is like for him, the guys dig for a couple updates on some scoops, what he thinks is going to happen with the Antonio Brown situation, and the stresses of having troll Twitter accounts make fake news with his name and having to deal with the repercussions (55:54-1:13:46). The guys also recap the entire Super Bowl week from Top Golf and who some of their favorite guests were and which people surprised them. They also recap the weight loss competition, and dive into their thoughts on the Super Bowl, the commercials, and Boston Connor chats about his experience seeing the Patriots win a Super Bowl in person.

Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is a man who needs no introduction, but I'll do it. Greatest college football player of all time. First-round draft pick for the Denver Broncos. Now he's about to be a Major League Baseball player. There's nothing he can't do. Heisman winner, handsome man, legend on and off the field. I'm so

excited you're here, ladies and gentlemen, Tim Tebow. Yeah! It's a big day. I appreciate that introduction. It's very kind of you. I could have gotten more in. I don't know if it was all true, but thank you. It is all true. I believe it is all true. I don't know if it was all true, but thank you. It is all true. I believe it is all true. I don't know. Hopefully, it would be a major league baseball game.

What are you just speaking to Mike a little bit? Hopefully. Yeah, you got to speak into Mike. Tim, come with me. This is your first time on TV. I thought we had good mics here, dude. No. No.

No. This is our travel kit. Listen, I'd like to – sorry to interrupt. I like the beer game. Thank you. Solid. I like it. Did you ever have a beard?

You've always been kind of clean-faced. Somewhat. You know, when I got lazy for a few weeks, more in training camp, you know? Yes. It would be, I really wouldn't shave in training camp, but then I would be like, look back, like, why did I do that? I couldn't pull it off like you guys can. He can.

Yeah, this is mostly by accident, to be honest with you. And I just take notes from him. I'm sure you'd be fine. I'm sure you'd be fine. I'm sure you'd be fine. Tim, I have so many questions. Yes. Fire away, man. Whenever you were in college, we were all living in Tim Tebow's world.

We honestly were. For good reason, by the way. What you did at Florida was incredible. Was there ever a moment where you were like, it was too big for you, too much? Everything you did was headlines. Still is, by the way. Everything you do and did was headlines. Was there ever a moment where you're like, man, I did not expect this.

I did not know it was coming and things like that. You know, I don't know if it was necessarily too big, but I feel like there was a time, especially probably senior year, where we were 12-0, undefeated, number one in the country, defending national champs, and it felt like we weren't ranked if we didn't have a game that was as good as one of the last three years right if you beat like if you beat Tennessee and I think that year maybe we beat them like 38 to 10 well we didn't beat them we didn't score 50 yeah so it was like you know it was like that was the standard which is one of the things that's that I've been so impressed with Belichick and with Saban and what some of these people do is it's a lot easier to get to the top than it is to stay

because that complacency sinks in and there were times you would be like hey listen it feels like the world's collapsing and we're undefeated you know and so I think that was something that was tough trying to speaking of staying at the top mean, you obviously did that Heisman winner, national champion. Your speech that you gave was, it's a statue. It is a statue. It was, was that from the heart?

Scripted from the heart? Yeah, it was totally from the heart. It was incredible. It was like a Ric Flair promo you cut right there. It was next level. Then you go into the NFL, right? You go to the Broncos and there's so many questions surrounding everything.

Is he an NFL quarterback? Is he not an NFL quarterback? You go from being the greatest college football player of all time to instantly scrutinize. Then you lead, obviously, a playoff victory. Was the transition to the NFL mentally harder than you thought it was going to be? I think the transition wasn't with Josh McDaniels and the whole team there in Denver, because I'm someone that when I get in, I'm just all in. So if the people in the building are supportive, then it was great. When it became like a mixed bag, that's when it's harder. When you weren't sure who was with you.

Yes, yes. And that's when it's, you know, I'm just kind of one of those guys that if my team feels loyal, I'm good to go. It doesn't matter what's on the outside, but if i'm just kind of one of those guys that if my team feels loyal i'm good to go it doesn't matter what's on the outside but if your team's kind of on the inside and i don't mean the players i just mean everything around you everything yes i think that's when it probably got harder and then when you know it would be just every day of everywhere i would go whether it's you stop to get gas and there's billboards there of you know Tebow we got a Tebow player the guy comes out to you know and he's like hey you know they're

arguing about you again on first take and what's gonna happen it's like you there was you you could there was the only place you could go for kind of reprieve from that was inside their home right and I'm not necessarily a homebody. I love people. I love being around them. But that's the only place of reprieve because even the building, it was inside or in practice. And, you know, it was just an interesting ordeal. Yeah, literally, you're a rock star. Everywhere you go, there is fandom.

And then you take this step into baseball, once your football career is over. Whenever you decided to change your throwing motion, was that because people told you to or do you want to do it no that's because they um were you forced to do that it was advised to um if i would go back i wouldn't have done it okay i i honestly grew up with it i feel like that was the one the only time tim tebow ever showed any of giving in to anybody they in my eyes from an outsider looking in because I on I said this numerous times actually I get to I got to watch you just dominate everything and I enjoyed your everything about you but whenever that started coming out like the videos from you throwing was hitting the internet I was like I did not expect Tim Tebow to

do that I did not expect it to do that it's also one of the hard things about it is if you'd be in practice and it'll be our own time and you'd be by yourself or with a couple of quarterbacks, you'd be working on something. You might be doing something, you know, specifically a fundamental that you would know you'd work on in private, but every single one of those would be captured and they would be put out. And you're Tim Tebow, so it's going. Like that's what it's going to go.

And you'd be like, wait, that's just me by myself on a private field just working. And it's like, you know, and they're like, well, that one went into the dirt. And I was like, wow, I was doing something. That's how you're better. That's how you're better. All right. You know. Could you imagine if during college the social media era was still there?

I don't know how you would have existed. You know what I mean? It just, I think there's a lot of good that can come from it, but it also makes things very difficult. And I think the one thing that I try to encourage people to do is don't be the first person. When a special event happens, to just grab your phone, embrace it in the moment.

Enjoy it. I feel like so many people, they're more worried about capturing it than embracing it and being in the moment. And I think sometimes you lose part of what's special when you do that. When you decide you want to go to baseball. Very hard decision. You've conquered football. Yeah, it was a tough decision.

It was a tough decision because, you know, there are offers. Why didn't you just model? I wondered this. I wondered why you – I was really wondering because all the scrutiny was coming out on you as a Denver Bronco quarterback. Everybody's coming after you, whether they're for you or against you. You're a topic of conversation. I've had meetings in ESPN where they actually say they have a list of things

that move the needle, and it's like LeBron, Tebow, everything about you. I'm like, this guy's the most handsome dude I've ever seen. He has the perfect, I don't want to say, I'll say image. I don't want you to think that that means fake. It's like you're the perfect human. I was like, why doesn't he just go model? But you still had more you wanted to do in your athletic career. You know, I think there was part of football that obviously I love,

still love, and still had different opportunities to do, but it wasn't what I was as passionate about, you know. The whole, you know, Wildcat, H-back, tight end, all that. You played PP against us with the Jets, and you threw a fake. Yeah, you threw a fake on a fake punt. What happened on it? Did we get it? It snapped to you.

You did a dump off. It was like a 45-yard gain. Nice. Yes. It was bullshit, though. That baby bullshit baby hey we talked about it all week all week we talked about it we're like yo Tebow's a pp let's assume that he's in there not to block we'll be prepared we'll be prepared and then I think it was the first punt it was like a 45 yard game right out the box I'm like what are we doing you know what's funny about that though when I was

the up back is everyone we would play, there would be like four guys being like 15, I got T-Bone. I was like, there's not four guys going to be blocking me. And you know they were going to be like just all out. And I would be like, especially when we played Pittsburgh. I was like running down the field and there's seven guys trying to block

me. That's a moment, bro. That's their moment. It's not my moment. Do you remember playing Pittsburgh and then throwing a slant in an overtime game and then ruining my life? He's a diehard Steelers fan right there. I do remember that. It's a good memory. That was a tough memory. Great ball, though. Thank you. That was a really good ball.

That was a fun game. That was a really special one. Just that whole team, though. Number one defense in the NFL, and James Harrison, and Troy Palamalo, and that whole team though that number one defense in the nfl and james harrison and troy palomaro and that whole team that was like a one of those games i grew up watching all those guys yeah you know it's like this that was fun troy palomaro he stole me from stole a moment from me my only nfl touchdown was a guarantee it was a fake field goal where the holder catches it and i just walk, you know?

Yeah. Like it just parts wide open. There's never anybody in the C-gap. They just pick up. If we're inside the five-yard line, you take the snap, Pat, and you just walk right into the end zone and you're going to score a touchdown on Sunday Night Football. That was the plan. Who were you playing? Steelers. Troy Palomaro ruined it, so I'm happy you ruined his day He bounced his ass into the sea gap So Troy made the tackle again No, he didn't make the He normally lines up over here, right? Quarterback's talking

Quarterback's talking now He lines up over here 100% of the time his entire career For some reason, this one time He bounces into the exact gap where I'm supposed to go, Tebow I have to check out of Omaha I'm not dying today Did you make the call? Yeah, I made the to go, Tebow. I have to check out of Omaha. I'm not dying today. Did you make the call? Yeah, I made the call.

All right, that'd be it. Hey, okay. Quite like that. So you leave football, you go to baseball. Let's get to it. Because you're going to be in the majors. But you know what? The funny thing about that is

most of the people that were even on my team or agents were like, um, what? Bro, we just got you a TiVo deal. We got you a DirecTV deal. That was a TiVo, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I know. TiVo with TiVo was a genius idea.

But it was like, so we're having this meeting in New York City, and they're going over these different opportunities. And I'm like, but I'm just a guy. I truly believe at the bottom of my heart in pursuing my passions. What's on your heart? I believe that for everyone because they're there for a reason. And if you don't,

well, you might make more money or you might be more famous, but at the end of the day, you're going to look back and you'll regret it because you didn't go after what's on your heart. I don't know if you'd be more famous.

It's hard to get more famous. And so for me, they were going over these different opportunities and I was like, it doesn't spark the passion in me and and I said hey guys what do you um what do you think about if I if I pursued baseball and I would like to hear this I would like to see I would like to set myself up in this

meeting you a bunch of suits in there trying to figure out how we go ahead and take over the world how we continue to keep it moving spread the Tebone message which is always a great one by the way positivity religious you're a man of faith obviously everybody knows that you're an incredible speaker they're like all right maybe we do this maybe we do this we get you to another team maybe they'll take care of you better situation yeah you know what guys i was thinking maybe i just try to become a professional baseball player i don't know how you guys are feeling about it. I am at peak popularity at this point. Peak popularity coming out of it.

You had the Tebow City in Philadelphia and in New England, not by you, but your fans and everybody like that. And then you decide to just pivot and go in a completely different career. When was the time you played baseball before that? Were you a kid? The last time I played was my junior year in high school. Wow. But I had – first of all, that was a really tough decision,

giving up my senior year of baseball to go to Florida early for football. But every year at Florida I would be like – because when I went, Urban told me I could do both. Did he lie to you? No. But every year I would say – Tell us if he lied to you. He didn't. Not Urban.

But every year I'd go talk to him and I would be like, you know, I think I might go do this this year. And it was hard, right? So my freshman year we win the championship. It's like you don't want to go risk it the next year. Those national championships getting away. And it was just

that was hard. So every year I was like it. And then I became friends with some of the Rockies when I was in Denver. And I was like, this is awesome. Taking BP probably? I didn't necessarily do it as much with them. But, dude, I went and took BP a lot of different places. Like everywhere I go speak, like all the universities, they're like, yeah, what do you want? Yeah, you're basically, there I go hit BP.

I just loved it. It was fun, you know? And it always had a spark. And that spark never left. And I was like, you know? And it always had a spark. And that spark never left. And I was like, you know what? If this has been on my heart after, I think at the time, it's like 11 years later. There's a reason. I haven't played it.

There's a reason. And so while I knew most of the world or the media is going to say, well, there's no way. And you have a chance to fall flat on your face. And even agents, which is their job, but they were like, dude, what, what if you embarrass yourself or what if you fail? And I said, you know, when you risk, when you go after something, that's a chance that you have to take. That's okay. Whoever said that failing was bad. Well, the word has a negative connotation, but it also means, it also means that if you learn from most great people, they risk, they failed over and over, and then they were able to succeed. Let's go, Timmy!

Let's go! But it's, you know, I mean, a lot of successful people that are CEOs of companies, they failed at companies until they learned. And for me, I wanted, when I was 50, when I'm 50 years old, I want to turn back and say, you know what? I went after my passion. I went after my passion. I went after my passion and I tried to do it the right way. And I don't have to look back with regrets of saying, you know, I did it for money. I did it for popularity. I did it for, you know, I played it safe. Like who cares? Ultimately, who cares? You know? And I wanted to be someone that, you know, and also when I speak to young people,

I can say go after your heart because I went after mine. And I wasn't scared of what the world, because the world wants to define us. They want to say you can only do it this way. And my thing is, why? I'm going to try to do it the best way for me. There's a wall. There's a wall.

Everybody's listening right now is about to run through a wall, Tim. Because I do believe that with the negativity hogging publicity, which is the way the world is right now, negativity hogs the publicity. Everybody thinks that successful people have batted 1,000 in their life when that is not accurate at all. You run into some hurdles and some stumbles, and you're going to learn and grow from it. But then also a lot of people want to put their persona out there like,

also, they're perfect. And I want to be the first one to say I'm not. Hey, real quick. You're close. Tim, you are. You don't have to say it. I'll say it. But we fail.

We mess up. I mean, that's one reason, you know, why I'm so thankful for grace, for the mentality of it. And that's just a mindset that I want to have um all the time because it's been showed on me and i want to have that for other people and you know i think that's why instagram filters are so famous right now is because reality wasn't enough so we have to put a filter on it to make it seem better and i want to encourage people young people that that's not real instagram's not real it's not that isn't like people think reality tv shows that's real that is not real. Instagram's not real. It's not. That isn't. Like, people think reality TV shows, that's real. That is not real.

That is a television show. Yeah. Yes. That is not everybody's life. It's a television show. Yeah. Now, you, speaking of television show, I would have loved to seen this. Did you film you on a bus in, like, single A baseball traveling around like Jackie Moon

in Semi Pro? I didn't. I mean, I'm sure there's some clips of it. But no, I didn't document it. And there was a lot of opportunities to do that. But I just didn't want my teammates to think I was doing it so that they would. I was being filmed so they would think this isn't real. And I wanted them to see that I'm on the grind.

I was on every bus, you know, driving across the country. We're staying in motels? I don't know if they're motels, but they're not the best. You know? And they're definitely not the country. We're staying in motels? I don't know if they're motels, but they're not the best. They're definitely not the best. Definitely the worst part of minor league baseball. It's the travel. I was a professional baseball player in the Frontier League for one night.

Starting right fielder. For one night? For one night. Pretty good team, too. Never played baseball in my entire life. Not once. How did you do in the game? I made contact, too.

333 on base percentage. 333 on base percentage. Never missed a ball. No strikeouts? None made contact, Tim. 333 on base percentage. 333 on base percentage. Never missed a ball. No strikeouts? None. Two put outs. Huh? Two put outs.

That's what I'm talking about. There it is. See, I don't even know these baseball terms. Solid stat line right there. Yeah, it wasn't bad. I looked a little chunky in this. I didn't know it was all white. It came in a little tight.

I didn't know that was going to happen. That's fair. Did you go pants down or pants up? Pants down. I had some Jordans, all white Jordans. It was just one straight white, white, white. It looked good. Do you go pants down or pants up? Pants down. I had some Jordans, all white Jordans. It was just one straight white, white, white. It looked good. Do you go pants up?

Very rarely. I go pants down. But every now and then I feel you go pants up, you just look a little bit faster, you know? I got no shot at that. There's no more. There's no. How has baseball, have you found any challenges that you didn't expect?

Like whenever I was going to do my game uh professionally baseball i was told by a lot of people like when you see that pitch it's going to be insane like whether you can either see it or you can't hey and then we start seeing videos of you hitting balls out in tiny towns across the country out of their park it's like did you know you were going to be a monster hitting did you know i mean i felt like there are certain things i could bring but then there were also parts that i that you know gosh that freaking right-handed change have gotten me for about three months in a row you know like oh over the top you know over the top and uh it's hard and you gotta adjust and you know my first

year i remember a few months in i'm batting 150 and i you know it was like 13 you got to adjust and you know my first year I remember a few months in I'm batting 150 and I you know I was like 13 you know at bats in a row where I was an offer and you know that's where you have to be you know that mental toughness you could say oh I'm kind of into it but no I'm all the way into this yeah you're battling through it right you're battling through the highs and the lows there was times to quit there's times other people would look at me like yep you're gonna quit not doing too good are you hey we got TiVo still back there

but it's just that's not how I'm wired in my mentality so you battle through that but you go through those in every sport in everything that you do and even the best players in the game go through slumps. And it's how you handle those moments. Nice.

Hell yeah. Tim, you think Urban Meyer's coming back to coaching? Because none of us believe he's done. Nobody. He got asked five times if he's going to come back. I think it's going to be really hard for him to never be a part of a team. Sorry. I got it.

I'll work on that. I think it'll be really hard for him to never be part of a team. I got it I'll work on that I think it'll be really hard for him to never be part of a team he is you got to understand he is one of the most competitive people that I've ever met he is one of the most driven people I've ever met and if he doesn't have a place to a goal to drive towards and to compete for I I think he'll long for it. I think he also is one of the biggest family men I've ever met. So he has a grandchild now, and he loves being around. And his son Nate's playing baseball at Cincinnati,

so he's over there all the time. And so I think he'll have some outlets, but I think it's going to creep in him a little bit. He's coming back. Everybody knows it, too. He should just stay on the stay. There could be something he would be involved in. I'm not saying he would be a head coach, but I think there would be some place where

he would want to... Maybe an AD. Consultant. Could be, yeah. Something like that. Got it. What's the next plan for you? You're going to be in the majors. I am a big-time baseball guy, as you just found out. Big-time baseball guy. You get into the majors, though. Is that... That was obviously the goal all along.

Would there be any moments that are too big for Tebow? Like, is there any moment – like, you get in the majors, you're first at bat. Let's imagine that it's in New York. They announce that it's your first at bat for the Mets. That place is going to – it's going to be big. It's going to be huge. It's going to be empty because everyone's standing. Yeah.

First sellout for the Mets at bat. And forever. It'll be the first sellout for them in so long. You're walking up to be huge. It's going to be empty because everyone's standing. First sellout for them in so long. You're walking up to that plate. You're standing outside the batter's box. I don't know if you tighten your gloves. What's going through your head there? Is there like a moment where you're going to be like, oh, man. To be honest, I think if that moment does happen, I think there would be, for me,

I'm very much a tunnel-focused guy. So it's always on it. But I think in that moment, there will be a moment of reflect and gratitude. I was back 150. This has been a journey. And that's not the end of the destination. It's just about to do that. But it's a journey to say man it's been pretty special

even in the sucky parts even in the hard parts is you can also learn to appreciate that which is it sounds hard and the listeners

are going like what you appreciate those moments yeah because they make the good moments that much better the sun is brightest

after it's darkest dawn what's the walk up song for that moment you can put that in your repertoire you can put that in your repertoire got it I got it for you what's the-up song for that moment? You can put that in your repertoire. You can put that in your repertoire. Got it. I got it for you.

What's the walk-up song for that moment? Oh, there we go. That moment? Do you have one in minor league? Yeah. What is it? The last one I had was a song called God of Angel Armies by Chris Tomlin.

Is it upbeat? Is it rock? Is it country? It's like praise and worship. I like it, though. It says, I know who goes before me. I know who stands beside. The God of angel armies is always on my side.

Let's go. That's some good. I also feel like that pitcher is like, oh, shoot. You know? Like, hopefully he's like, you know? So he's like, I mean, you're not trying to, you know. It's always a mind game with the pitcher, too. You know?

Do you point the bat? No. No. It's too humble for that. I did. You're like, point it up there. Then it got through me a curveball and I almost fell. I almost fell.

Yeah, I've done that a few times, too. And then the pitchers look at me. Yeah, laughing. I got these angels, dude. Well, Tim, we're very lucky that you stopped through here, man. Thank you. I appreciate it. It's really fun, man.

It has been awesome following your career, man. Thank you. You deserve everything that's coming. I think majors is coming. I can't wait to see it. And so thankful for you. And you look incredible, obviously. You should.

The model thing, just put it on the back. Just think about it later in life. I have those same jeans. I don't look the same. They look nothing like that. I got to tell you, you guys are really fun. Really fun to talk to you. So I appreciate it.

We're motivating here. We needed the motivation. No, but I'll tell you this. I mean, we've gone through quite a few interviews. Not all of them were fun. You guys are really fun. What is a question you get all the time? What is the standard Tim Tebow question?

Which one do you like more, football or baseball? I get that probably the most. I'm happy I didn't ask. Because I played both sports professionally as well. That's it for Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow is exactly what you think Tim Tebow is. Incredible human. Never say a bad word about him ever again.

Big sumbitch. Big dude. He's built like an hourglass too. And it's hard not to just go in and dive deep into a compliment session of tim tebow and i mean that with a hundred percent of my being too because everything you thought about tim tebow he like that interview right there i mean at one point connor wanted to run through a wall and like we all wanted connor almost got up and ran off the balcony at top barney rubble thing he did he. He did. He started going crazy.

Tim Tebow was just the perfect specimen. Yes. And he's had a lot of opportunities not to be that way, by the way. Sure. His resume warrants him to be a douchebag if he'd like to. He's the most handsome guy in any place he walks into. Greatest college football player of all time. Highs been winner.

Now he's taking on another sport professionally, which by the way, I didn't know he was at 150 at one point. Batting 150, he said in that interview. And he said a lot of people were telling him he should quit. Like, hey, what are we wasting our time here? He continued to do it. He's just I'm a huge Tim Tebow fan. And he helped us go viral.

Huge shout out for that perfectly timed loves you moment. That's the most Tim Tebow thing of all time. He was just awesome. He was perfect. And he's got that body by keto. He's a keto guy. Body by keto.

Keto guy. That made it into the Fox News. He must be doing the different keto one. Than us? His keto must be a little better than ours. It's like Terry Crews' intermittent fasting. Might be a lot different than what Tim McAfee's doing. We'll figure it out.

He looked incredible, though, and he can hit the fuck out of a golf ball. Jesus. He didn't really know where it was going a couple times, but he's just swinging hard. I think he's going to get into the majors. I think he's going to get into the majors this year. I hope so. I do, too. Why is that?

I do. Why? He's just the most likable human of all time. He shook every single person in the building's hand. Multiple times. On the way in and on the way out, he shook everybody's hand. I think I shook his hand like seven or eight times before he actually left. Is that right?

Yeah. Ty, you were a big fan of Tim Tebow. I love Tim Tebow. I love the guy. I think he loves me, too. Why is that? Because of the seven handshake? I mean, that was part of it.

When we were doing the interview, I don't know, the video will come out eventually, there were points in time where a good four to five minutes he was just locking eyes with me. Ty. You lucky bastard. Ty was sitting directly in his vision now, I believe. And Tim Tebow is an engaging guy. He's an engaging

guy. You compliment my beard, I'm going to love you for the rest of my life. He did. He came in swinging for Connor and Diggs' beard because he, much like me, can't grow a good beard. That's why it happened. Yeah, he could. Tim Tebow. He's got great stubble.

I assume Tim Tebow could do anything at this point. I'm excited to see him get into majors. Very thankful he came through. He was very motivational. Very motivational. Very real. Very Tim Tebow. Ryan Chazier motivated the fuck out of me.

There we go. So I was just about to say, we had an incredible lineup there. The folks at CAA, we paid for this lineup. Let's not get crazy. What was it like? It was quite a budget we put together for the guest list. Because we were off the beaten path. We weren't at Radio Row.

We've been to Radio Row a couple times. Foxy Gorman, Phil, and I went down there for buffalo wild wings had a great time there is no fucking chance i ever want to be set up in that no no no no there's no better way to let the guests know up front that you're not like the other people on radio row than to not be on radio and i think that's good but if you look around like dan patrick not on radio Row. Rich Eisen, not on Radio Row. Everybody that is anybody is not on Radio Row. And then when you go to Radio Row, everybody that's at Radio Row, it's a big dick contest. Everybody's got little setups and their little tables and their whole thing.

Everybody's very nice, but you're all doing the same thing there. It was just an interesting situation. I'm very thankful Buffalo Wild Wings got me in there. The Levitard Show did it right. the dan lebitard show did it right i guess they're based out of miami and i was very happy to go on that show it was a good time i've heard nothing but great things exceeded my expectations very good people they just had a camera there that was wired into their show when they were still in miami at their home so they had they had a camera in radio row yeah they had a camera in Radio Row.

Yeah, they had a camera in Radio Row, a producer sitting there, and then you put a headset on. I couldn't see anything. I'm just staring at a camera in Atlanta to an entire staff and crew that's in Miami. So they're at Radio Row getting all the guests that are at Radio Row while sleeping in their own beds at night. That is the veteran.

The Levitard show did it right. And they just had a producer there? That is Chess, exactly. Yeah, they had a producer there next to me. I'm assuming that's if something goes wrong with me, they can carry the conversation or something like that. But that is what we try to do from here on out. That is what we try to do.

Next year is in Miami. Maybe we go to Miami. Maybe we find a top one. The next few are actually in warm weather locations. You know what is coming up has a big radio row and it will be a big presence and we should start planning Nashville NFL draft. Really?

Big radio row there. I thought it was in Vegas. No, it's in Nashville. Does the draft have a radio row? Oh yeah, they do this year. Really? Yeah, and it's going to be because they haven't had that accessibility but now they have a dedicated area. Radio row? Oh, yeah, they do this year. Really? Yeah, and it's going to be – because they haven't had that accessibility, but now they have a dedicated area, radio row, boom, all over. We had pretty good luck last year with our radio row set up for the NFL draft.

Oh, is that right, Ty? Yeah, so maybe we can see if we can't just do that again. Can you enlighten us? Yeah, sure. We got there, and basically the internet cord was about 145 feet too long or too short to where it needed to go. No, that was a combine. Oh, yeah.

It was a combine. Excuse me. It was a combine. We had a six-foot cord that we had to sit around. It was like we were in a tight bonfire just staring at each other. And we had to leave where we were at in a minivan. I was doing the serious show from a cell phone because the setup was such dog shit all the way back to the office here.

It was a wild scene. You could hear the lights, right? Oh yeah, everything was happening. I can't believe that the draft is now becoming a radio road thing. They're trying to turn this draft thing. And Diggs, you're one of the people who said that you love the draft. I already looked at three seven-round mock drafts already since the Super Bowls.

I didn't know people love it like this. They're turning it into just primetime television. Maybe it's something we do. It's like when your hope just already starts again for next season. I'm already on to next season. Well, you have to be, but we can't move on there until we dive more into, I mean, Gorman, you Fox Sports this thing. Let's go right back into last week at the Topgolf.

Some of the guests that we had there were absolutely outrageous i was starstruck by herschel walker okay okay let's talk about herschel like i said there's there's been like three moments since i've been with you that where i saw her got to talk to somebody and i'm like oh holy shit i can't believe this is happening todd mccomis and my dad both very starstruck with Herschel Walker. He showed up looking fit as a mother. I mean, I don't think I've, if I live as long as Herschel, I don't know how old he is, but if I live and I look,

if I look anything like him when I'm 56, I'll be very excited. He still does 1500 pushups and500 sit-ups a day. And he chose to golf lefty in our charity challenge. He said, I'm going to golf lefty today. He sounded like Muhammad Ali, by the way. Yes, he did. The way he spoke, he sounded like Muhammad Ali. Eerily similar. Eerily. Very eerily similar as he was talking. It was kind of

like it was one of us. It was pretty awesome. I asked him, I was like, hey, from where you're at right now, could you still kick me in the head? Because he did a lot of MMA fighting in Taekwondo. And he was like, yeah, I guess he'll knock your head off. When we

recreated the Vinatieri return, and he went to stiff arm me, I swear to God, he could have squeezed my heart out of my chest. So Adam Vinatieri tackled Herschel Walker in 1990-something in Vinatieri's rookie seasonchel walker in 1990 something and vinatieri's rookie season and for disone we're making content for them we reenacted that moment to rewrite history for herschel walker because herschel walker is like one of the greatest athletes of

all time and he was tackled by a kicker on a grand stage so we had obviously connor fill in for vinatieri and try to chase him and at his age i I think he could go play one NFL game if he had to right now. I think Herschel Walker, he had a wide base. He was running. And he stiff-armed Conor through the fucking ground. It was a beautiful. We shot it like three times. Conor had to dust himself off like three different times.

Every single time, I felt my breath just leave my chest immediately. And when he was running at the camera, too, he put on that mean face. I was like, Herschel, you've got to calm down a little. I was talking to him. He works in D.C. That's wild. He runs the President's Fitness Campaign or whatever.

Physical fitness ambassador, I think, is what it is. Something along those. That's a working position, he said. He said, I have to travel to D.C. on a pretty regular basis to work. He says, oh, I'm working there and I've got a business with 800 employees. I'm like, holy shit. And he said he said like i have to travel to dc on uh like a pretty regular basis to work he says oh i'm working there and then i got a business with 800 employees i'm like holy shit he trained some trained people for do you train soldiers too i don't fuck yeah he uh yeah he does some kind of hand-to-hand combat training with the military so i think herschel walker is just like a all-around

super badass guy entrepreneur businessman athlete everything good for him when he was walking down the steps, somebody had asked him, I don't know who it was, but I was within earshot. They said, could you play today? Do you think he could advance the ball on the ground today? He said, I don't know about every game, but I could definitely do a portion of the season. Literally me asking him, he said, I could play one game. I think I could do one game. Too many games.

I shouldn't have told Prince of Macamorra that. He did not agree. Prince of Macamorra, by the way, worst top golf player in history probably. Ever. Probably ever. Funniest, one of the funniest dudes I think I've ever been around. Because at first when Prince of Macamorra is talking,

you kind of think like, oh, this guy's like kind of bitching about something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then you got to realize, oh, no, no, that's his sense of humor. Like that is his sense of humor like that is his sense of humor so we made him the worst place guy the entire time and he was awesome man

he was absolutely awesome but he took a shot at old Herschel didn't he he said I'd like to see his ass on Sunday I'll roll over him that old man

take it easy bud he's a legend Herschel is a legend Prince of Moccamore funny oh it's a great show we got going on oh legend. Prince of Mokomura, funny. Oh, it's a great show we got going on. This show's going, isn't it?

Very good. Oh, yeah. We've been doing good, haven't we? Man, I'll tell you what. Whenever we talk into microphones, it's normally pretty good. I like to tell Sam this. I don't talk all the time, but when I do, I'm right. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

My dad always says that. Listen, I don't talk a lot, Sam, but when I do, I'm right. It doesn't go over well but on this particular show we're all right today we're all we're batting a thousand right now and we're just getting started you're gonna enjoy the rest of the conversation the reason why we stopped it abruptly is because we got to pay the bills somebody's got to keep the lights on and by now most of us have started racking our brains about what valentine's gift is truly going to make her day special you bet we got one answer and one answer alone.

Anybody been an hour in 45? He was very punctual. Maybe an hour early. We're still setting up everything at Topgolf because we had to take everything down every night

and then set it back up. Topgolf ended up being very hospitable to us. The internet wasn't what we thought it was, what we were told it was, but Topgolf really ended up being incredibly hospitable to us. Very thankful for them. But every night we had to take things down and then put it back up while we're setting it up some man just shows up in an all black with slick back hair and i get a hey perera's here i'm like he's not supposed to be here for another hour so he comes in he's like

oh don't worry about i'm just gonna hit some balls over here and i start talking to him he starts like just punch line punch line i'm, I'm not talking to you. I don't want to waste any of this until we go live. And we went for 30 minutes. That guy is hysterical. I knew it, man. Because there was times where I've heard him do it. He's like where he said he would have a Tito's like in his little booth

when he was fucking doing games and shit like that. Anyone who's just an old guy like that who likes to drink like that, they know I have a good personality. He talks a lot of shit on Bruce Arians because Bruce Arians has talked a lot of shit on officials. I liked Mike Pereira a lot. Good swing, too.

I surprisingly liked Ogletree, too. Alec Ogletree, one of my new favorite players, went to Georgia. He is now a member of the New York Giants, traded from the Rams, was a University of Georgia superstar down there. We were back in Atlanta. Was once a safety, converted to linebacker. Incredible, funny motherfucking guy. He's a real guy.

He was very genuine. And nice, too. What a nice guy he was. Very, very nice. I think everybody was very nice except for Josh Allen's agent. I like Josh Allen a lot. Josh Allen hit the shit out of the golf ball. He hit a huge slice.

It was an uncontrollable slice. But in Topgolf, if you can dial it in, you're in a good spot because there's no trees and such like that. Josh Allen had the lead for a long time. Until Andre Branch, defensive end for the Miami Dolphins, who was, what was he doing in warm-ups? Watched him warm up, literally whiffed the ball three different times,

could not hit the ball at all. Him and his boy were there just fucking sitting in the corner, just having a good old time. Then he steps into the tee box and just starts wailing it. Ends up tying Josh Allen after nine balls. He had 260.

Josh Allen had 260. Josh Allen's still there. Andre Branch, in a wild turn of events, in hilarious fashion, decides to just pick up the ball and throw it into the closest hole for a one-pointer. He ends up with 261 to josh allen's 260 it was at that exact moment at a charity event that josh allen's agent called me an asshole right in real right in front of sam who i don't think was with me it was kind of off center so then sam gives him a nasty look and i guess he referred or inferred or maybe even looked at sam and and the word bitch came out of his mouth

so sam comes over to me right after this magical moment that happens for us filming wise having a tie then be broken at a one point thing after everything that happened with josh allen niger is this is awesome this is perfect for charity for charity and then sam comes over he goes just really i don't know who that guy is over there, but he definitely just called you an asshole. And then he looked at me, and I don't know if he called me a bitch, but he definitely said bitch. And I'm like, who?

And she points at the guy, and he's got CAA sports on his chest. So I look at the one guy from CAA. I'm like, who the fuck's that guy? They're like, oh, that's an insert name here. I'm like, well, why'd he call me an asshole, and why'd he call Sam a bitch? And he was like, he did what? I was like, I don't know. I'll go fucking find out right now though so i was gonna like immediately after we had crowned a winner for ten thousand dollars for charity i was gonna go punch

a fucking guy in the face and the caa people were like oh we'll take care of it we'll take care of it he got kicked out josh allen huge fan of yours your agent though, absolute fuckboy Let him know that if we were anywhere else Other than that Topgolf place He'd be swallowing a fucking fist I just would like that to be known I didn't like that I didn't like that that happened at all Other than that, Carissa Thompson put on a show

Carissa Thompson had a couple martinis Was out there wailing The ball had the lead for a while Ryan Fitzpatrick Carissa Thompson had a couple martinis, was out there wailing the ball, had the lead for a while. Ryan Fitzpatrick was a legend. Hey, we love Ryan Fitzpatrick. I love how he brought his kids, too. Yeah, just play around over there.

He was fucking with Zito the entire time while Zito was trying to mic him up. He was shoving his ass into him. Just classic locker room games. Classic. I love Ryan Fitzpatrick. I can't wait to see where he ends up. I'm a fan. I. I love Ryan Fitzpatrick. I can't wait to see where he ends up. I'm a fan.

I'm a fan of wherever he is. He's been on seven teams, 15 years in a league. He's probably going to be the best backup quarterback in the league wherever he goes. I'm thinking he should put him in starters. I would hope so. AQ told me because AQ's like, I would love to have a guy like that in the locker room. I think he's from Arizona.

He's trying to connect with the Dots. AQ and him are at the same country club. Yep. And Fitzpatrick said, I'd like to have a guy like that in the locker room. I think he's from Arizona. He's trying to connect with the Dots. AQ and him are at the same country club. Yep, and Fitzpatrick said, I'd like to be a starter. So in Arizona, that might be. They just drafted Josh Rosen. Jacksonville, though, potentially landing. Yeah, for sure. He'd be a good guy to bring in, too.

Yeah, he would. Hey, I am a big Ryan Fitzpatrick fan. He brought his kids early, and he was just gonna hang out he's like is there any way you can just hang out with my family or whatever we eat some food then we'll go like yeah do whatever you need to do fits but what we didn't think about is him and his kids are now earshot away from me and other people so somebody hit a ball and said shit and i was like okay saying shit three feet in front of Ryan Fitzpatrick's kids. And I look over, and Fitz looks over, and he goes, they've heard shit before.

We just can't go much higher up the ladder. I was like, okay, all right, we just learned a little bit. But whenever he got in there, he can hit the fuck out of the ball. Quarterback's normally pretty good. Swinging for Ryan Shazier was a top one moment of my life. My favorite part too, Diggs. I like Shazier just talking shit to you guys. That's my favorite part.

I felt for you there. We're boys, so that's like how you treat your friends. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you don't talk shit to randoms. If he didn't like me, you're not going to talk shit to somebody you don't like.

Hey, there's another inspirational story right there. Oh, yeah. Tim Tebow, obviously very inspirational, positive, incredible speech. Ryan Shazier also very, very positive. There is zero doubt in Ryan Shazier's mind right now that he's

not going to be back in the NFL, and I'm with him. Well, because he wasn't supposed to walk ever again, and then he's fucking hopping up three flights of stairs to get to where we are. To get to that top golf. He walked in, and I was like, holy shit. He also hung out for, you could tell people really liked where we were and what we were doing and our vibe and everything because they would stay for like hours.

Rex Ryan. Fucking Rex Ryan is a guy that I wish I could have played for. Yes. I wish I could have played foosball on a team that Rex Ryan was just associated with. Not even being a head coach. Head coach, sure, but just associated with that guy was electric.

Yeah, he was hilarious. Hilarious. Head coach, sure. But just associated with, that guy was electric. Yeah. He was hilarious. Hilarious. He is everything that they crack him up to be. I pissed myself when he kind of shit on Geno Smith. Kind of. Everybody says you're the best coach of all time. You got Tom Brady.

But let's see how many games you win whenever you got fucking Geno Smith in his rookie year. He did. He did. Nobody was safe. He chirped me for wearing a penguin shirt. I'm like, Rex, you're a football guy. We're not talking hockey right now. No, he's a hockey guy.

It was his team. In Nashville now. Yeah, because he lives in Nashville. He was a goalie. He was a goalie. That makes sense. Yeah, because he said, how about Vegas coming on? I was like, well, they got a good goalie.

And he's like, you need a good goalie. And I'm like, yeah. And then two minutes later, he reveals that he's a goalie. I was like, oh, you just stroked your toe. I like what you did.ked your tail i like i like what you did i'm a big fan of rex ryan yeah tessitore tessitore yeah he was pretty good pies on joe tessitore on me and joe we're gonna have a bottle of wine together and some fucking prosciutto someday you guys were speaking a different language there for a while literally

i mean his on-air persona couldn't be more different than how he acts outside of the booth why don't they let him go? I have no idea. Joe Tessitore, they should let Joe. Joe was hilarious. Very funny, loose, loved him some Italian stuff. I mean, he was speaking, you and him were speaking a different language for a little bit. It was almost like Zito's Spanglish thing. Oh, yeah.

Need to get him hypnotized. He's got a high. I like Joe Tessitore. He was cool, too, because he got caught right up in that log jam when everyone showed up at once, and he hung out for probably four or five hours on the digital plane.

He said three hours. Just hung out. He said to himself three hours, because I said, Joe's been hanging out for like an hour and a half. He's an hour and a half. It's been like three hours. I'm like, I'm so sorry.

Big For The Brand guy. Yeah, brought his own For the brand Christmas sweater That his wife got him For Christmas That was fucking awesome I will forever Not say a single word About any of the people

That came by the way Except for Josh Allen's agent Anybody else though Is The fact that These people come Came and hung out with us And did this all

Was fucking beautiful It was a great time Like the whole situation Was a good like You could just hang out right Just hit golf balls. If you're doing the Meteor Row stuff over there, you're sitting by yourself. So whenever we went to Radio Row, I went from one place to another place to another place to another place.

And it was kind of difficult to even talk to anybody. It's hectic, right? Well, I saw Mike Adams and I saw some other people that I was teammates with and stuff like that. And it was so quick, like, ah, I got to go over here. I got to go over here. I got to go over here. So it's just, it is a lot of organized chaos down there, but you just got so many humans just jammed in one spot.

If we were at Radio Row, Pat would have walked in like the Simpsons gif and walked out of there. I promise you. I promise you. I almost did a Topgolf. I was trying to go to an Airbnb. That's a great, like, if we could find something every year where they're doing something while getting interviewed,

that's the key. Yes. Otherwise, there's no reason to be there. Well, it's a nice distraction. Correct. I don't think we talked about the Super Bowl more than, like, probably a minute and a half with each person. Well, for many reasons.

Everybody knew what was going to happen in the game. Everybody knew what was going to happen in the game. And also, like, yeah, that's literally every conversation on Radio Row was the same one. I had 10 conversations for Buffalo Wild Wings on Radio Row. They were all the exact same, except for that one serious show where the guy took his shirt off. It was terrible. Yikes. Yikes.

That's going public. Foxy just took shots publicly. It was tough, though. It was. It was a tough show to be on. And I couldn't hear anything, but I just watched. Me neither, by the way. I think that's why it's important to offer them a show

where they can just be themselves and relax a little bit. Because you know Rex Ryan has answered a thousand of the same questions about the Super Bowl. Yep. I bet he has. So he gets to come there and cut loose, tell some personal stories, and have fun. That was something with Tebow, too.

Sorry, Ty, but Tebow also mentioned how every single person asked him, well, do you like football better or do you like baseball better? And we luckily did not ask that. By the way, I also told Tim Tebow that I am a professional baseball player as well, much like I did to Cody Decker. Zero attention both times because us multi-sport athletes understand. We understand. We completely

understand. I was very impressed by the people that came by. It was awesome seeing AJ in person too. He was just hanging out. For me especially, him and Randall Cobb. Oh shit, Randall Cobb. So cool. He was awesome. That was really cool. Thank you, of course. I don't want to say I did any tampering shit. Randall Cobb. I'm mad about that. So cool. Yeah, he was awesome. So that was really cool.

Yeah, I forgot about him. Thank you, of course. He was great. I don't want to say I did any tampering, but Randall Cobb asked me about Indianapolis, and I went on a four-minute sales pitch. You really did. I listened to the whole fucking thing.

Because he's a free agent, and if he ends up at the Colts, that would be a great signing by old Chris Ballard, who's going to be on this show at some point. He asked me, he's like, oh, what do you think of Indianapolis? And I was like, I don't know if this is a question

directly about his free agency, if he's thinking about coming to Indianapolis, but I went on a run. I want to let everybody in Indiana know I went on a run. I was like, cheap housing, incredible food. Obviously, I just said cheap housing.

Dollar goes a long way. Everybody's hospitable. Brand new workout facility. Brand new trainers. Top of the line place over there at West 56. So do you like Ballard? Ballard seems to be very intelligent. Andrew walks all the way back.

Got a young culture in defense. He's like, oh, okay, man. He walked away. I think I just planted the seed a little bit too hard. I think I planted the seed a little bit too hard. Fucking oversold him. AQ came through. I thought he was going to win it.

I thought so too. AQ was doing the $10,000 charity Wrangler celebrity charity shootout for my foundation. Early, he hit the driver a couple of times, stacked up some points quickly, and then it kind of faded away. Bruce Arians. This guy. Bruce Arians. You talk so highly of him. And I was just always like, actually, just be in person.

He's like exactly how you talk about him. Oh, he's just so cool. He's just the coolest guy of all time. The fact that he's not wearing Kangol hats, by the way, the fact that Kangol let that one slip away. That's tough. Wait, what was his nickname? SQ Smooth.

Oh, my God. S-Quire Smooth was his nickname as a child. That was awesome. Dazon dug it deep into there. Bruce Ahrens was very awesome. Schefter. Schefter was great as well. Schefter was, wasn't he?

Schefter was pretty good. A lot better than I expected. You know, he was like a real human, wasn't he? Yes, he was. Kind of swore a couple times. I mean, that caught me off guard. Me too. There was a couple things that caught me off guard.

Oh, his small shoes. Very small shoes. I thought he shopped at Kids for Life. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Zito transition. Zito has been humming and buzzing all day about Adam Schefter. We didn't know if we were going to be able to talk about it, so we saved it for the end strictly for Zito. And there we set a layup.

It was a little delayed, but he missed. The power editing, that was only a millisecond. A minute second. A millisecond, I have to say. You were intrigued by Schefter. Yes, I was. How come? I actually saw him for failure.

I untucked his shirt, and every shot, you could see his belly button. That was all my fault because I lobbed him up, and it was just a mess down there. A lot of people are saying that Schefter looked like a mess. And that was all because of me. I apologize. I looked down at his shoes, and his shoes were literally a size 5, size 6.

He had tiny little feet. Tiny little feet. Cheap shoes. But? He had shoelaces from a size 14 shoe. Schefter was the most visually judged human out of anybody that came up. I mean, Schefter's smaller. He can hit the fuck out of a golf ball, though.

And he has a good personality. He does. He is a really good person. We get a chance to sit down and talk to him, ladies and gentlemen. He was sick as a dog, too. Was he really? Yeah, he did not sound good. He kept saying, oh, I just got to get rid of this.

He has diabetes. Diabetes? No. He didn't bring that up to us. He knew he just had to perform. He's a gamer. Speaking of Schefter, one funny thing. I had met him briefly when he was coming up. Hey, go here. You're going here next and stuff. He's waiting around a little bit and he comes up to me

and he goes, is this the only Topgolf that you own or do you own more? I like this, Chef. I wonder why he thought that. I wonder why he thought that. Yeah, it's a great question. Gorman knew the name of every waitress in the Topgolf. Gorman worked for Topgolf, DAZN, and

I think Herschel Walker worked for him. There wasn't a time where you could walk by a waitress without fucking talking to her. No, no, no, boys. You got to understand something. You get more with sugar than you do with shit, okay? And we had a lot of moving pieces there, so I wanted everybody on the same page. A year full of shit. Just for future reference, nobody would ever think that you get more with shit than sugar there.

But I like the line. I like the reference. Speaking of sugar, here's Sugar Schefter with some atom bombs. It was a great conversation. I know. That's a good transition. Zito transition. Ladies and gentlemen, live from Topgolf in Atlanta.

Super Bowl week. Obviously, a day before it. There's one man that has all the inside scoops and tips. Except for you. I break news, too. You do. By the way, I do break news. That's why I'm saying.

One man who has a lot of scoops, that's not exactly true. You're right. There's multiple men who have the scoops. Exactly. It seems as if this guy is. Two of them are sitting on the couch. Three. He also breaks news, too.

Every once in a while. Diggs gets scoops, too. Diggs gets scoops. I got one. Does Conor get scoops? No. No. No.

A few Patriots news here and there. Adam Schefter. Adam Schefter, ladies and gentlemen. Hey. Adam. I should Adam Schefter, ladies and gentlemen. Adam, I should have given you a better intro. That's on me. I'm a little bit tired. It's the last day here. What, have you guys been sleeping here, eating here?

That's a factual statement. Showering here. Going to the bathroom here. Is Super Bowl week a huge week for an inside scoop guy, or is everything kind of buttoned up at this point? Is that kind of the way it goes? You know, in all honesty, Super Bowl week is a week for glitz and glamour

and you guys lounging out at Topgolf. We're outside of all the glitz and glamour. For me, it's not my kind of week. It's fun and enjoyable, but I don't... Nothing's happening. I don't go to any parties. Us either. I don't do anything.

Like one of my bosses said to me, I had the best night I've ever had in my life at the Super Bowl. He was with a Uber driver, and the Uber driver started flashing nude pictures of herself to him. Here we go. Good for that guy.

And then he went to an Imagine Dragons concert. Let's go! Thunder. Feel the thunder. And lightning. And the thunder. Thunder. Thunder.

Thunder. And lightning. Thunder. And the lightning. And lightning. And the thunder. Thunder. Thunder. And lightning. Thunder. And the lightning. Thunder. I like Imagine Dragons. So I could say now I've been to an Imagine Dragons show. Yeah, you can.

By the way, we look all similar to the Imagine Dragons Mormon folks. If I grow out this rat tail a little bit, I am the lead singer. Conor's in the band. Okay, so everything kind of shuts down. Are we getting into scoop season? Because there's moves to be made. There's trades to be made. Draft picking.

I mean, we are getting into scoop season. You tell me, scoop. You tell me. What's coming? I might be signing with a network. There's a scoop. There is a scoop. Which one?

Who knows? Will I be independent? Probably. We'll see how it goes. Representation's shit. Exactly. What are the chances that you're hosting ABC World News Tonight and supplanting David Muir? I can say this with the utmost confidence. There ain't a motherfucking chance that's going to happen. But everything else is on the table, Mr. Schefter.

You're allowed to say that on air here, huh? Yeah, well, we're on the internet. He's hosting a competition between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, so you could throw the ball the farthest. Have you heard about that? Did you see that all start? No, I didn't see that, but that's a great question. So on the internet yesterday, Josh Allen said on

Barstow Radio, he said that he could outthrow Patrick Mahomes and he would like to do it. Patrick Mahomes on Twitter scoops you and gives his answer himself, not through you, and says that he would like, who's going to make this happen? And I think I would like to hear who do you think would win that? It's a great question.

I think Patrick Mahomes wins that. I don't know. I think Josh Allen wins it. I think Patrick Mahomes in warm-ups with no steps, flick of the wrist, goes 80 yards every single week. That's exactly what that's, he does go in. But you know what? Josh Allen's a monster.

He is an absolute monster. They're both monsters. Honestly, that's a coin flip. That's like Patriot's Rams. So there is a particular gambling website that we associate with that I won't mention with you here, so you don't get into any shit. It's legal. They've offered up $100,000 to charity for the winner.

So this is going to happen. I think it's going to happen. I do believe it's probably going to happen because I assume another company will put up even more. As long as the suits don't get in the way. What are the chances that we could get them on the Adam Schefter podcast to talk about the upcoming event? Well, I think pretty good. Adam Schefter, you are a big name. Do you know

that players go to you to get scoops? Like to find out what's happening with their own teams? And you. Well, I literally went to you to find out what's happening with their own teams and you well i literally went to you to find out what was happening with my own team like when vick ballard got hurt in practice they whiff they whisked him off in a cart nobody knew what was happening he was our starting running back at the point i get back into the thing and it was like i think your tweet was like uh vick ballard blows his achilles at practice i'm like did he i didn't even fucking know that.

I didn't even know that. I didn't know it either. And you made it happen. And it's like people just find out stuff through you. Is that a lot of responsibility? I think it is. I mean, again, I don't view the responsibility as informing people, the players at practice, as to what happened to their teammates.

I view it more as making sure you don't mess it up. Because if you do, I think people are just waiting to... Oh, if you get something wrong. Oh, yeah. It's like Tony Romo. Oh, yeah. Tony Romo's going to get one wrong, I think, in the Super Bowl, and I'm not happy about what's going to happen to him.

That's why I purposely say things wrong all the time, so that people don't take me seriously. Lower the expectations. Exactly. That's a good way of going about things. Have you ever got something wrong? Wrong? I've been doing it for 30 years. Let's go. Three decades. 30 decades. Way older than me. Way older than me. 30 decades. It feels like 30 decades.

I'll say that right now. Have you? I'm sure I have. Yeah, well, you know, there are things that happen this year, as an example. Okay. I remember the Rams were playing. It was, I believe it was an afternoon game at Arizona. I was talking about it with a Rams guy this morning. I had breakfast with a Rams official.

And I was actually at breakfast when Ryan Fitzpatrick walked into the restaurant. We're at a restaurant at 730 in the morning, and here comes a guy in a huge beer with a bunch of kids, and it was Ryan Fitzpatrick, 730 in the morning. and here comes a guy in a huge beer with a bunch of kids, and it was Ronald Fitzpatrick, 730 in the morning. And I was having breakfast with one of the Rams guys, and we were talking about this incident. So this is a good one. So I'm talking to the Rams that morning, and they say,

yeah, we think Gurley's going to go. We think Gurley's going to go. We're optimistic. He feels good. You know, we've rested him all week long. So on the pregame show, I essentially repeat exactly what was told to me by the people making the

decision. They're optimistic he will play. And then, two hours before the game, they decide, you know what? We're three score favorites against the Arizona Cardinals. He doesn't look great. You know what? Let's err to the side of caution. And they decide to shut him down.

Now, I'm just telling you, in the fancy football world, people are pissed off because it's a late game. There's a lot of money in that world. Well, people are trying to win their championships and get to the playoffs and all kinds of things like that. And so. Scoops. Scoops. It just happened. Which phone?

Two phones. Get them all out. He just whipped out two phones with big bucks. Let me call you back in a couple minutes, okay? No, you can do that. We got time. We'll mute the microphones. Hey, coach.

Let's go! Oh, yeah. I wish that one of you would have let that happen for us. I wish you would have let that happen right there. So, anyway... Fuck! Call back. Call back.

Do it. Two hours before the game They say He's not going to play And so you Todd Gurley's inactive Well I thought you said That they were optimistic

He's going to play They were They were very optimistic They were very optimistic Like what do you want me to do But you're not wrong there You didn't guarantee He was going to play

You said they were optimistic Yeah but People take Optimistic And Translate it into He's playing Well I thought he was going to play

Yeah Based off what I was told, but then he didn't. So, am I wrong? I guess I am, right? I don't think you are. Because you said that they were optimistic. You worded it very well. Yeah, if you said he was going to play. I am very careful about every single word that I use.

That's like WWE, by the way. It's like Modern Family. Every word could potentially be a callback later. That's literally WWE, by the way. It's like Modern Family. Every word could potentially be a callback later. That's literally for you. Every single word matters because if you get one of them wrong, this is sometimes always never a question. You know, it's not like the Dolphins will hire Brian Flores when the Super Bowl is over. They probably will.

They plan to hire him. Like the Colts. Who tells you that? Does Brian Flores just call you and me? I feel like that's what happens. Everybody does things and they're like, all right, you know the next move. You call Schefter right now. It's written into the ESPN contract with the NFL that NFL coaching officials have to call me before they divulge exactly what they're going to do.

New head coaches get in there, they read their contract. I know Schefter had something. It's an easy job. Listen, if you're going to pay the NFL $1.8 billion a year, the least you could do is get that included in the contract, right? ESPN and the NFL have an incredible relationship. You are a huge part of that, a huge part of that. Do you see the future of the NFL staying or getting bigger with ESPN, or do you think the NFL is going to kind of pivot more digitally?

You know, I think we're at an interesting area in the NFL's growth. I don't know where this is all going. Like the next round of television contract talks, I have no idea whether the games are going to stay right where they are. ESPN, Fox... Would you know that information or are you more players and stuff like that?

Well, I don't know that I would know it. I might know it. I might stumble into it. It's not something I'm digging for. But I am... My antenna is up for it. I might stumble into it. It's not something I'm digging for. But I am, my antenna is up for it. I'm curious about it. Not so much because the public cares, but because I care. Yeah. Because it affects our world.

Like, are the games going to be on DAZN? Are they going to be on YouTube, Netflix, Amazon? Where are all these games going? What is the league doing? The one thing I feel confident is the league is going to try to squeeze every dollar it can out of whoever it can. Break that news right now. NFL is going to squeeze every dollar it can.

Per sources. You know right there, you've just spent a long time at Topgolf. The per sources was just so... I do feel like you guys do that a lot. Per sources. That's in my fancy football and fancy basketball team. That's good. Per sources. It's good.

I feel like that happens on a regular basis. Something is said and then if you just tag per sources at the end of it, it's automatically legitimized. I had a gimmick for a while that you would break news and then I would quote tweet it and put can confirm. Was that it right there? Per sources. how are you? 3-6-0, not great.

No, no, no, but hold on. Hold on. Standings. Per sources, 79-54-2, number one in the West. Not too shabby there. I take my NBA fancy very seriously. So you do a lot of NFL work. Will you ever dive into the Woj world?

Or if it follows you, do you send it to Woj? I've done some NBA sidelines. I love that. I consider that to be my professional vacation. What if you get breaking news though? Do you send it to Woj? Is that kind of like the respectable thing to do? No, I would love to kick Woj's ass with that stuff. Hell yeah! I like that a lot.

I love Woj. Honestly, he's incredible at what he does. He's become a great friend of mine. We talk all the time. I have tremendous respect for what he does, and Woj's job is safe. He's been breaking news all weekend. Is he trying to steal the thunder of Super Bowl weekend here? Somebody called me yesterday, and they said,

okay, here's the deal. During NBA free agency, or right before the NBA finals begin, you have to drop an NFL, an atom bomb. An atom bomb. Not a woge bomb. Yes. I don't like that one.

Have you been saying atom bomb for a long time? Not a long time, but I've tried a couple of times. That's a great, great shirt. You should start selling merch. An atom bomb with you on your phone. I need good representation to have that done. Well, neither of us got that shit. Neither of us got that. An atom bomb would be a good representation to have that done. Well, neither of us got that shit. Neither of us got that.

An atom bomb would be beautiful. The Sunday morning, so in the news world, it's like the Friday afternoon news dump. It's in the world news, like the actual news world. It feels like the NFL has this thing where it's the Sunday morning so that they can get it out there. Maybe it gets a couple hours, and then the games will steal the attention. No, no, that's not how it works. What happens is we have these shows, and so a lot of stuff, I'm just kind of putting in my pocket during the week,

and I'll be like, oh, Sunday morning. Are you scared? So like on social media, if I don't get a tweet out before somebody else, like it's dead by then. Are you ever scared? Like, ah, if I don't get this out, somebody else is going to get it? Is that the thing? I mean, you wonder certain things, and sometimes you'll roll the dice and gamble

and every now and then it'll blow up on you. But more often than not, it doesn't. And you usually know what you can and can't save. You usually know what people might

or might not know. Uh-huh. And you just go from there. Who is it? Oh. Who is it? Let it fly. Let it fly.

Let it fly. Atom Bomb. Let's go. We need an Atom Bomb. Who's Vic Ballard? He's done it. Hey, can you tell me Let it fly. Let it fly. Let it fly. Atom Bomb. Let's go. We need an Atom Bomb. It was Vic Ballard. He's done it. Hey, can you tell me where Antonio Brown's going?

What's going on with him? What are you hearing? What are you hearing about Antonio Brown? He went to the Bahamas, came back with a new mustache. I don't know what's going on. Is that how you gauge things? With his mustache? By his mustache?

Well, I think the internet is. That's literally what the internet is doing currently. The only thing I think right now is I think he gets traded. I mean, I don't know where he's going to go. That'll be one of the biggest storylines of the season. We want to break that story the week of the NBA Finals, as the NBA Finals begin. I would prefer it to be much sooner than that.

I would like to know much before the draft. Unfortunately, it will be much sooner than that because he's due a $2.5 million roster bonus on March 17th. So that's the unofficial deadline to have him traded by then. So we can't hold off on that until Woj's NBA Finals begin and we dump it on his lap, you know, the way that he dumped Anthony Davis. We'll just do it during March Madness. Just break it during March Madness. I mean, come on, Woj. Have a little respect for the decency.

It's the biggest game of the year. Yeah, come on. Woj, let the news wave, man. Just stick it in your pocket. Like he does. Like a gentleman does. Like an acorn. Treat it like a squirrel with an acorn. Put it away for a cold day and then

follow that stuff the Monday after the Super Bowl, man. Come on. Woj, you bury that nut in your mouth and you wait until the Super Bowl is over and you put that thing out there just like a squirrel would do. I would say there hasn't been a lot of NFL news this week. Super Bowl weeks are always quiet. Unless there's an injury. It's not a news week for sure.

It's not what happens. Well, Schefter, I appreciate you, man. I thought we were going to maybe get an atom bomb or two here. Didn't. The potential to happen. I mean, now that I'm seeing him just operate here, because normally you're on the phone, so I don't get to see you. You have pulling out two phones, both with like Otterbox cases out of your pockets,

with them both calling you at some point. It's the most Schefter moment of all time. It's actually blowing up quite a bit here. I see that. You're getting a lot of it. Adam Bomb. Adam Bomb. Is it text messages or calls normally?

Anybody slide in your DMs and send you? Very rarely does that happen. Every now and then there'll be a DM that I noticed from like six days ago. Could have got it. Pat McAfee signing with a network. Damn, I would have had that story before. Very rarely does that happen. Every now and then, like, there'll be a DM that I noticed from like six days ago, you know. Could have got it. Pat McAfee signing with a network. Damn, I would have had that story before. Is that one you would like to break? If you want me to break it, I'll do that.

Well, I think if you break news, it makes everybody think it's a lot more official than, you know what I mean? It could be anything. There was a point that I, oh, I wish I still had it. It was much before I got with Pat. I get a great story. When I lived in Pittsburgh and I saw Revis in the south side and it was during a time of Pittsburgh. It was during a time when he wasn't signed anywhere and I

actually DM'd you and you asked where and then I replied back but that was it. There was no reporting on it or anything like that. So I replied? Yeah, you did. Yeah, because you're an investor. That's what you are. You're on non-stop. There are a lot of people but But this week, actually, I got a call from somebody, and they said, how come you didn't let us know in advance that you are reporting that Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan are being investigated for a racial slur from the AFC Championship game?

What happened? Excuse me? Is this an atom bomb right now? Hold on. Hold on. I'm going to show this to you. So hold on. Atom bomb.

We just. Boom. Boom, boom, boom. Hold on. Bing, bang, boom. An atom bomb just happened. We just won the week. Okay.

There's an atom bomb. What does it say? Look at this. The NFL is investigating Patriots Julian Edmond and Chris Hogan for using possible racial slurs towards several Chiefs players per Adam Schefter. Okay, see this guy? It's already bombed. Can I show it to everybody?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, so the guy goes, how come you didn't give us a heads up on that? And I said, what are you talking about? He goes, you're reporting that they're being investigated for possible racial slurs. I'm like, I never reported that. Oh. And he goes, it's on Bleacher Report. I go, what are you talking about? So he sent it to me. Now, take another

look, Pat. And what do you notice? It's a fake Twitter account. You know, people get Adam Schefter'd all the time. Happened to me last week, I think. People get faked all the time. It's a Bleacher Rapport. Oh, it wasn't even Bleacher Report. They stole the look. Did you have to send them a message on how the internet works?

I told this person who called me, I'm like, take a look at the Twitter handle. It's Rapport. And it says Bleacher R-A-P-O-R-T. Those damn trolls. People trolling out there. And so this guy, actually, to be honest with you, one of the players noticed and called the attention of somebody who called me. You know what we know, though? It only has one like.

Like, that person should have known. If it only has one like and it has two players that are going to be in the Super Bowl being racist, that thing's going to go. It only has one like. We're all good. Yeah. By the way, I thought we were getting one right there. It turns out we got trolled. We got a pipe bomb that detonated like that.

Defective. Defective. We got a pipe bomb that detonated like that. It was defective. It was a defective atom bomb. Mr. Schefter, we appreciate you. I love following you. The Adam Schefter podcast, I was a guest on it, and it's incredible. It was the finest episode I had. You're a great host, though. You are a great host because you only pop in on ESPN with just little bombs,

like little atom bombs. Like, we think that's going to happen. They're like, thank you, Adam. Go back to your little library you're in or whatever. Go back to sounding like Frank Caliendo. But hearing you actually host, it's a very great experience. I think you do well with it. I appreciate it.

It's great to be with you hosting and I look forward to your network debut. Hey, you'll break well with it. I appreciate it. It's great to be with you hosting and I look forward to your network debut. Hey, you'll break the news? If you let me. You know, when I retired, nobody wanted to break the news. I think we were trying. I wasn't invited to that press conference. I wasn't big enough. Let's end the show.

No atom bombs out of the chef. He wanted to. It's suspenseful when he pulls those things yeah trust me i was trying to look yeah me too i was trying to creep with his phone and i didn't want to make it too obvious because during that interview you heard it he he has two phones on him at all times they both have like an otter box and he keeps in the same pocket like it's going to be so constricting on your jeans it's like five inches thick of phones in his pocket but he pulls them one out of time he's like oh it's not that one i wonder if it's like this is gms and this is coaches and he's got like a fucking beeper

from players but it was non-stop schaefter's 24 7 that guy no atom bombs though he needs to start marketing that more yeah because i have never even heard of it before. Me neither. And so it's such an easy thing. Easy thing. ESPN should start marketing like atom bomb. Correct. Because that's what he does is he drops bombs. His whole approach on things of getting information and relaying it is truly beautiful. Weight Loss Challenge ended. It did.

Thank you. Congrats, Todd. Proud of you guys. Thank you. Good job, Todd. Hot Todd won the Weight Loss challenge belt away from Zito. How much weight did you end up losing? 45.4 pounds.

Jesus Christ. There it is. 20%. Over 20% of my body weight. Is that not just fucking absurd to think about? Yeah, fucking crazy. Yeah. It's the craziest thing I've ever done.

Hardest thing I've ever done, too. I've done some stuff I thought was hard before. That's the hardest 30 days of my life. Was it mentally the worst? Mentally, yes. Mentally the absolute worst, right? Absolutely. Just a constant fight with your brain.

Weren't you in a shootout once? Yeah, it was harder than that. More than once. There was one shootout that sent him straight to retirement. I don't know if Todd just has a little lapse of memory here. But it is a very difficult you lost 20 of your body weight sir from just a month ago and you were the underdog going into this thing everybody thought you were you had no shot strictly my bookie thought you had no shot there was a lot of people sent screenshots of them they had me like

plus 400 and plus 500 i think it was almost plus 700 at one point. I was plus 10,000 at one point. We're going to brag about being 100,000. Those times you were plus 10,000 were the same times that you were offering up to give away all the prize money if you win. I think Diggs knew early that there

was no shot. It was about 32 days. It was about 25 days in that I had worked as hard as I possibly could and had to lose like 16 pounds in the last eight days. I was like, well, this is fucking over. Well, I mean, you still suck with it, though. You still continue to lose weight, which is impressive.

My dad did as well. Zito, though, first day of filming. So those that don't know, Zito has a lot of things, right? He has an incredible brain. He has an interesting palate. He has an interesting palate. Senses are interesting. Smells. It's always a full plate.

It's always something with Zito. A lot of fat jokes here. I don't like it. No, no, no. But during Super Bowl week, he was literally directing, producing all of our Wrangler celebrity charity shootout things where he had to cut the cameras and do this and love people up. We heard earlier he fucked over Schefter's image

on the internet. Everybody thought he was coming straight out of a bender because Zito decided to untuck his shirt. But Zito had a lot going on, and he started feeling the pressure, and he started feeling it, and he started eating sausage. Am I right?

I think the whole plate died. Here's the funny part about that. Day before the final weigh-in, Zito couldn't handle it anymore. The pressure made him crack. He just started eating meat. The day after, or the Friday after we weighed in, he goes, this is what did me in yesterday.

And I was like, I had no idea those were even fucking on the plate yesterday because you crushed them all so quickly. It was so fast. A day before the final weigh-in, Zito cracked mentally, which we never would have thought because it's hard to crack the mind that is lost. Yes, there it is in my eyes.

But I thought you had an incredible performance in Super Bowl week, Zito. Thank you. Very grateful for you, man. I made a couple fuck-ups here and there, I think. Well, it's always fun when someone comes up to you and goes, this doesn't make sense. This whole setup just doesn't make sense.

Who was it? It was the Zone people. Professional. Professionals who set up stuff all the time. They have $100,000 worth of equipment. For a two-minute video. And it's like, there's so many wires here. It's not organized.

It was like, yeah, it just works. I could see why Zito was stress eating too. I think it was the first day we were unpacking everything and we still had to upload the videos and Zito's like, yeah, just make sure everything stays plugged in. And then all of a sudden he just goes, oh, I lost power. And we look back and Todd's just sheepishly holding onto a fucking extension cord that he just unplugged from the wall.

Oh, a little mind game there. Yeah, it was hilarious. Well, I mean, we learned a lot. We dove into this last week a little bit. Whenever we got to Topgolf, a lot of things changed that we didn't think was going to happen. So Zito's stressing out completely because, I mean, a lot was on his plate, literally.

Nick, literally. And the stress he did you in. But the thought of DAZN, they had two cameramen three producers a sound guy a director this one guy that was put together backwards poor guy had to run everywhere poor guy i don't know why that had to happen for that guy but then they look over at our thing we're shooting like five six hours straight of this and it's hot todd's running a mobile camera that's on a unipod. We have no connection to each other as well. Monopod.

We can't talk to each other. We have no earpieces, and we're literally just yelling, hey, is it good? Yeah, it's good. All right, we'll go live. Yeah, fuck it. Tim Tebow's here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's no testing of anything. There's nothing. It's just camera, camera, template, TriCaster, Zito. That's all it was. And his two cameramen were meeting and talking. The day we took over cameras, so we jumped into cameras so Evan and Bailey could spend time on

editing all day. By the way, that is called problem solving. Because we were going to go live with them all so we wouldn't have to cut them up into little things. But with the original videos, we couldn't post because they're too long for Twitter, and it would take too long, so we had to edit them down to one-minute videos. Somehow, someway, Jason McAfee, who's never edited anything,

was called upon to edit a video one time. And I go, Jay's editing videos? Yeah, I'm like, no, no. We got to change it. So we do a full – by the way, I'm very proud of us. Yeah. We did a full problem solve in like two minutes.

Yeah, it was a quick halftime adjustment. It was like, boom, here we go. All right, Diggs, yeah, you feel comfortable? You got this camera. All right, Todd? Todd all of a sudden

starts hanging over the edge of the hallway. Starts getting like the best camera shots. Foxy, Bailey, you go edit. We like did a full on in two minutes. If that was to happen

with a network full freak they would have had to have five meetings oh yeah they would have to get okayed by everybody it would have been everything instead what do we do we just adapt and overcome yes and todd you became like a a fucking full-time cameraman in there it was actually fun as shit really i mean you don't realize what goes on with that camera you're like oh man i'm this i'm the fucking eye this is what the people at home are seeing so you're constantly just on there on the viewer screen but yeah a couple times like we were so close to the edge and ty hadn't yanked me back todd even had like the backwards hat on hot drunk time i wanted i wanted that sound engineer from the zone's vest. Go get me one of those vests. Hold the camera.

I'm proud of us. Right before Tebow, you guys were podcasting with him. We're running the test, and my camera's not communicating with the switcher. We're like, what the fuck? It turned out that our cable's bad. We're like, well, what do we do now? We have to go down one camera, which sucked because the other camera's assigned to tracking the ball. So we're like, oh, now we're fucked because the cable's not working.

And Bailey goes, hang on a minute. And he runs in his backpack and pulls out like a 100-foot fucking HDMI cable. I'm like, why do you have a 100-foot HDMI cable? Like, I don't even want to know. See, the funny part about that, like behind the scenes, is because Pat was coming straight from Radio Row. So him and Tebow got there literally at the same time. Same time. So we jumped right into the podcast.

But I was there before the podcast started, and I knew that fucking cord wasn't working. I knew we were down a camera. So the entire time we're podcasting, I'm seeing these motherfuckers running back and forth. So in my mind, I know. I was like, we're fucked. We don't have this fucking camera while podcasting. It's just a whole fucking thing. I didn I know. I was like, we're fucked. We don't have this fucking camera. Wild podcasting. It's just a whole fucking thing. I didn't know.

I didn't know anything that happened. Up until like 30 seconds before you guys ended, we were only going to be able to shoot with one camera. I would have loved for that conversation to happen. Hey, by the way, no panic. Bailey dives into his backpack that has two guns, four knives, and pulls out a fucking 100-foot cable. I love that. I didn't know that happened

behind the scenes. It happened the day after that, too. The wire just kept burning out. So now we'll know. It'll take like 10 extra. You little learn and adjust and overcome there. It's pretty good. It doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be what?

It just has to appear to be. Yeah, that's what we do. We learned that from somebody from Intel. Yeah. You know, I worked for Intel for a day. You did?

A lot of people forget that I worked for Intel. The opinion processor people. Yeah, those people. And a producer for Intel said it doesn't have to be. It just has to appear to be. That's our motto.

Holy shit. Say hello to. That's our motto. Say hello to the new small business motto. I think it appeared to be and was everything that we hoped and hyped up to be. The clips were way better too. There were some good moments if you watched. If it was live,

I think it would have been good because we could have got some comments, interaction. I would have liked to see what people would have wanted to ask Tim Tebow. Would have added something different. We didn't have enough bandwidth on the internet there, so we couldn't do it. But we adjusted. We made it happen. And I'm not swinging from nuts here, guys, but I think you'll back me on this. Nobody had his production schedule over the course of five years.

No way. In Atlanta. Nobody. And I'm talking, he even take Radio Row out of it, which is exhausting in itself. But he did two days of that. And then guest after guest after guest go to podcast, back to guest, back to Wrangler and stuff. That was a machine in work. And again, I'm not swinging from your nuts, but that was well done over five days.

I mean, not many people can do that. I very much appreciate that because I was hosting a game show. So I'm hosting a game show and then I'm hosting a podcast. And then I have to do something for DAZN, which is international. So I have to dial it completely different. Then I got to do a radio. And then there was people like, oh, you want to come to our party? And I'm like, I literally just talked for eight hours straight.

We were there for four days. Couldn't tell you what the stadium or downtown looks like. No way. I could tell you what Topgolf looks like, our hotel, and one restaurant. Keegan! We spent a lot of time in IHOP. A lot of time. IHOP was right there across the street.

Fat stack of flapjacks, unlimited. I am so thankful for you guys, to be honest, because I'm not sure there's a lot of people that could have pulled off what we pulled off. I honestly don't know. Just by, like, if we were to set that schedule up for the main networks the amount of sound checks and light checks and this check in that check in lunch break in this we would have never been able to do it would have never been able to do it no way and by the way that's the reason why the internet is going to take over everything else like you look

at those superbowl commercials ad agencies are failing failing. Those commercials were dog shit. Absolutely. I mean, Peyton Manning's opening for CBS, probably the best part. Yeah, Malkovich. The 100-year thing with all the players, I thought that was good. You put Marshawn Lynch in something, I'm probably going to like it. But aside from that, those commercials were shit. I almost put out a tweet last night like, attention ad agencies.

What you did tonight is your Super Bowl, right? This is the biggest time of year for you. The duds that you put out is ultimately going to be the reason why companies, bigger companies like Wrangler, like Buffalo Wild Wings, like I don't know how many more we got, but bigger companies are just going to start coming to internet ad agencies like us, like Barstool, like The Ringer, like everything like that because your bland bullshit is just going to become something

that is just going to be in. That's true. So I would like to thank the ad agencies for sucking, which is what they have continually done here. It was just that Super Bowl commercial thing was very sad. The Jason Bateman car commercial wasn't bad, though, with the elevator. The Hyundai one wasn't terrible.

It was good. But overall, they're not adapting to what people want to see. That was a standard commercial, though. I didn't think that was a Super Bowl commercial. You know what I mean? I think it was a good concept. I enjoyed it. It stuck out amongst the crowd. Whenever you mentioned that, I was like, oh, yeah think it was a good concept. I enjoyed it. It stuck out amongst the crowd.

Whenever you mentioned it, I was like, oh, yeah, that was a good idea. That was funny. But for me, Super Bowl commercials are supposed to be like these almost motion pictures. They're supposed to be like- How much does it cost? Roughly, you think? I think it's like $8 million or $7 million or something like that. And for some of those that came out, I think there was the phone one, whatever it was.

T-Mobile had four of them. How do you accept that, or how do you spend that much money for that? I don't know, but there was another one that had A-Rod in it and a couple other big names. What a fucking dud. One of our favorites that we made fun of was the Kia commercial. Oh, dude.

That little kid voice over there. It hooked me. It got Diggs. It got Diggs. Diggs sent a text as soon as that thing ended. It was like, I'm buying that Telluride. Literally, I couldn't have told you what happened before it went into the creek at the end. As soon as that car was in the creek slash river, I was like, well, I'm fucking getting that. I'll tell you what happened. An eight-year-old boy in a very eloquent manner just explained to everyone that if you lived in that town,

you grew up dreaming of anything but making kiosk. But that's what they're left with. So please buy them. That's like, did you listen to the words of the Christian? I said, no, I'm a fucking child. I saw the pictures. Were they trying too hard with the corn syrup for the beer? I didn't know corn syrup was such a fucking bad human being.

Okay, so here's a commercial that was missed. That fucking Game of Thrones dragon burning down the night, that should have been Coors Light. Yeah. Because Bud Light came out and fired shots at everybody. Right. If Coors Light answers a quarter later with the fucking HBO Game of Thrones dragon. Ripping the Bud Knight's head off.

Yes. That's what I'm saying. But instead, Bud Light did it to themselves. That makes no sense to me. I just think there needs to be a little bit more creativity. There's a lot of money on the line. Is it safe to say that The Rock won the Super Bowl?

Hey, that's going to make $4 billion. Yeah. More than that. It is. That's going to make $4 billion. Opening weekend, maybe. Are we talking about Hobbs and Shaw? Yeah.

We're talking about Hobbs and Shaw. I didn't realize it was going to be the greatest fucking franchise of all time. It's going to be incredible. That blew of all time. Like that blew my doors off. Think about in China. Oh my God. There was a little comedy in it too. Oh, we were dying of laughter watching it.

The song was Why Can't We Be Friends. Yeah, that got the biggest pop out of us. It really did. I think Peyton early did well. Peyton in that meeting was very funny. Very, very, very funny. They ended it. They powed on a little bit too much on the chicken parm.

I think if we're going to be critiques here, that's probably it. Peyton was very, very funny. That Hobbs and Shaw thing, though, made us all laugh very fucking hard. I can't wait to see it. He jumped out of a building and grabbed somebody on his way down, right? Yeah. Law of gravity says that's not possible. You can't catch up to anybody. They're falling at the same speed you are, no matter how big of a fucking ape grabs somebody on his way down, right? Law of gravity says that's not possible. You can't catch up to anybody.

They're falling at the same speed you are, no matter how big of a fucking ape you are, Rock. But I can't wait to watch that movie. And all of China is going to watch that movie. Every human in China is going to watch that movie. It's going to make seven bill. Negative 9.8 meters per second squared, by the way. There it is.

Hey. That was a big calculus. And by calculus, I mean physics guy. Big, big, big physics guy. Was that high school? That's high school, right? Yeah. You know why I think you like that creek so much? What is it?

Turtle Creek. Where I was, not Turtle Creek. That's another one, though. Where I was, there was a creek near. I was a creek. You mean by our house? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

We always go to our house. Yeah, we're some creek boys for a long time. Hey, Mom, we're going down a creek for a while. Downer near the creek, man. That's where we used to hang out. What do you do at the creek? There was a really good bike pass down there. We had bike jumps in there.

Trying to find crawfish. Crawfish. You roll over a rock, see if you see one, Donner. You ever go crawfishing? Not in Pittsburgh. Or you feel a boob down there as a child. Yeah. That's a good little handski. That spot. Maybe feel a boob down there as a child. Yeah. That's how you go down

to the creek. Do a little handski. Maybe take a sixer down there. Maybe. You don't know. Yeah. Maybe you go down into the basement fridge.

Coach digs his fridge. You grab a couple... Highlifes? No, no, no, no, no. No, a couple red dogs. I feel like you'd be a Mickey's guy. You go down the creek

and then when you finish you throw those cans right in the water. Yeah, wash them up. And you ruin the environment, but you have no evidence to say what you just did at all. Yeah, we're creek boys. Oh, yeah. As soon as Ikea goes in there,

I couldn't even think of Diggs just sitting at home. They just nailed me. Nailed me right where it counted. I'm a fucking creek guy. That whole thing literally was like, we all had dreams of being sports stars and movie stars. That's actual quotes from the thing.

But instead, we do this. Here we are making a vastly superior machine. They should have had. Yes. That's what they should think about doing. Bringing out the... How don't they? I don't know.

That's the shape for Kia? Yeah. Wow. You throwing in baseballs right here didn't help much either. All right. It was a great day until the game. Terrible game.

And the game was a dud. I love punting. I like that the record was broken for longest punt. That was a shitty punt. Got a great bounce. You can even see Ryan Allen on the sideline of the Patri patriots it rolls down their sideline as as it takes a hop and then it turns right to stay in bounds you see ryan allen actually go like it's a fucking bullshit you actually see him do that because it was an incredible bounce yes it was by the way

you take every fucking yard when they say like 20 some yard bounces yeah 65 yard punt it might have been 25 yards on the bounce. But, hey, that's either here or there. You take that. I think Johnny Hecker put on a show. I think Ryan Allen put on a show. Raps put on a show. Slater.

Slater down one inside the five. I got a text from Kay Marco asking me to write up a little something for the prop bets on special team stuff. And I feel like I was pretty – except for the number of punts. I said it was only gonna be seven hecker had seven eight himself so i was wrong about that but i said i'm sure ryan allen's gonna pin one inside the five with the help of slater that happened and then ryan allen pin one inside the five himself i'm pretty happy with the way the specialists perform

there other than the late miss and early miss from goskowski, but the Super Bowl in of itself, quite a terrible ending to an incredible season. In my eyes, personally in my eyes, that's right. There's one touchdown. You could have went to sleep right after Jared Goff got hit near the sidelines and not one player from his offensive line or his wide receivers ran over, got in the

ref's face, got in the Patriots' face, nothing. We talked about this because that was on the Patriots' sideline. Nobody ran over there. I mean, one player, I think, went over to help him, but nobody was shoving anybody. And it's like draft day, you know, Kevin Costner was right. That one quarterback only had none of his teammates went to his birthday party. That's a big deal.

I'm not saying Jared Goff is hated by his teammates, but I think in the moment there, nobody going to fight for him at that time or at least shove. At least a shove. It doesn't have to get crazy. We're in a Super Bowl. That was quite an eye-opener. They folded like lawn chairs. There was just no emotion, no heart. And then the refs,

I mean, that late PI call, missed against Cooks. Oh, yeah. Because he had to make it a one-handed catch because the other guy was grabbing his arm. And then the 15-yard penalty on the, the first drive on what was it? They called it unnecessary roughness. That was a terrible thing. Because there was just a tackle there.

I don't think the Patriots would have won if. They called that call because it was Roby Coleman. They had to get him back after two weeks. Oh, because of the thing in New Orleans. It wasn't Roby Coleman. Yeah, it was. On Burkhead? On the tackle?

Yeah, it was Roby Coleman. No, it wasn't. Oh, really? It was. The voice you're hearing there, the raspy one, is a man who didn't sleep much. He's walked into the office today with six cheap fucking rings on his fingers. Whoa, whoa, whoa. These are high class right here.

They don't even fit on your fingers. You're shoving your stubby little mitts into these things. With your black fingernail. Hell yeah. It looks like you just forgot to put on your mascara today. Like Fred Durst. You do kind of look like Fred Durst. Thank you. You got six rings

was not a couple. Six rings on, but you got to witness the game. Was it awesome in there? It felt like it was a Patriots home game from TV. Is that accurate? Yeah, it was. I mean, it was probably like a 10 to 1 ratio. I mean, every 10 Pats fans you saw, it was one Rams. There really weren't that many. I mean, it was probably like a 10 to 1 ratio. I mean, every 10 Pats fans you saw, it was one Rams. There really weren't that many.

I mean, obviously, the travel fans in general. Yeah, right. True. The trans LA soft town. Yeah, I said, I mean, you could say that no one's going to come back and come at you. Yeah, there's no plus. Oh, no, no, no. L.A. is gritty.

Nobody's saying that. Nobody's saying that. It was quiet. Was it as quiet in there as it seemed on TV? When we were on defense, I thought it was pretty loud. I mean, the whole upper bowl was Patriots fans. It was literally the whole entire upper bowl on the feet, basically, the entire game. So when I played in the Super Bowl, it was oddly quiet because there's a lot of people that just travel to every Super Bowl, right?

So they're like, oh, I'm going to the Super Bowl. I go to the Super Bowl every year. So they have no rooting interest. There's a lot of corporate stuff there, too. Exactly. Whether it's the Colts. We were Colts Saints. It was oddly quiet, like weird almost.

It felt like weird. That one, I mean, there was a Brady chant that fucking started in the middle of the game. Baddest motherfucker alive. Here's a Brady chant. I'm going to assume they're going to win. Julian Edelman gets the game. Baddest motherfucker alive. Here's a Brady chat. I'm going to assume they're going to win. Julian Edelman gets the MVP. A lot of people not happy with that due to the four

game suspension to start the season. I think the Hall of Famer Julian Edelman deserved every single fucking inch. Full tongue for Tom Brady on his own or Robert Kraft or no? That was an interesting... He does some weird things with his mouth. They kissed?

It's a Patriots family. Are you sure they kissed? I think it was a talk of the year. Yeah, it was like a weird... It was just a weird screen grab. Remember, Peyton kissed Papa John, right? Right there on the face. I don't know if it was...

I guess after he just won a Super Bowl. A lot of emotions running through it. Well, doesn't Vince Wolfwork and Kraft kiss each other? I think on the cheeks they have like a kissing thing. He kisses all the players. Kraft does. And then him and his wife. It's a weird old man thing.

And then after his wife passed, that's when he started kissing Vince twice. Oh, and he got that like 20-year-old girlfriend. Yeah. He started kissing her, too, and a lot of other people. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time. He was on the stage of Cardi B just a couple days ago, and I think that's when everybody

knew what was going to happen. He was hopping around. Everybody knew it was going to happen. But there was literally, what, the first touchdown came with the fourth quarter? Yeah. The only touchdown, you mean. That was tough.

That was not a good ending there for the NFL. In a halftime show, if I'm Adam Levine, I'm attempting to take my clothes off at every single moment as well. I respect that a lot. I don't see that many tats. I had no idea. And they look like they're just stamped on them, too. There's no real rhyme or reason.

They're clean. Yeah, they're definitely clean, but I don't see the tie-ins. I think they're just a bunch of... But if I look like Adam Levine, I'm trying to take my clothes off as well. A lot of people hated the halftime show. The internet was comparing his tattoos to Chipotle bags. It was the funniest thing. My girlfriend, she's been to three or four Maroon 5 concerts,

said it was the worst she's ever heard him sing live before. He didn't seem confident early. Early, he didn't seem confident. I think he found his groove there at the end. He did. The first two songs were a little rough. Yeah, once his shirt was off, he was good. You're right.

A lot of people obviously not happy because Jan Jackson showed her nipple, and it was the end of the world. Now Adam Levine's completely shirtless with flames shooting up behind him. And the all-time sex flex for Instagram, by the way a guitar i mean what a moment for adam levine a lot of people bashing a halftime performance i just i didn't think it was i didn't think it was bad i didn't think it was great i thought it was just like everything else last night just bet i found out last night there were four other band members i thought Maroon 5 was just like a name that he came up with for a band. The number meant nothing there? No.

Like, no way anyone in this room could name anyone else from that fucking band. No way. Or we could put 20 people in that room right there and say, pick out the rest of the room. Not a fucking chance. By the way, also, they got zero TV time. Oh, yeah. They were put in the back of the M. Right?

There was an M, and somehow they were put in the back of the M. There was an M and somehow they were put on the back of the M. Levine's out in the front all by himself. You have to wonder if the rest of the four, the other four are like, can we at least just get maybe a picture of us? Big Boy had a nice seven seconds. What's that?

Big Boy had a nice seven seconds. No Andre's a thousand either. Arrived in a caddy, though. I respect that. Big-ass fur coat. Levine said he's a big surprise coming up at the end of the week, earlier in the week. Like, big surprise, got to watch it. What was the surprise?

Shirt. It had to be a shirt coming off. It was just a shirt? It had to be a shirt coming off. I don't know. I like the SpongeBob part. Yeah, yeah. That was a good play.

Sicko Bud. What? He didn't win a Sicko Mo. Did you see the SpongeBob introduction to Travis Scott? That was Travis Scott catering to stick them up. Did you see the SpongeBob introduction to Travis Scott? That was Travis Scott catering to these young bucks up there. Millennials. That's Kris Jenner.

Fun fact, Adam Levine, Beverly Hills kid, went to Beverly Hills High School. Oh, okay. Oh, nice. That is fun. 90210? That's fun. That's what I mean. I'm just saying he's up there with tats and everything like this. Let's be honest.

I mean, you were raised in the tough streets of Beverly Hills. You know what I'm saying? You don't have to be tough to get a tattoo. I didn't know you were firing shots at Adam Levine. I have them. He was playing the guitar in very weird... He would let a note roll out

for like 20 seconds. That's like classic frontman guitar. When you're known as a singer, you just eventually learn how to play the guitar, but you only learn like three chords. So you just play those three and just let them ring. Yeah, I went to a Kenny Chesney concert. He was singing like the whole time.

Hey, baby, baby, baby. And then all of a sudden, somebody ran out with a guitar and he started a song with like a broom. And then he sang and then he took the guitar off. And they took a picture. I think there was like 40 pictures taken of him with the guitar off of him. That's the move. And they took a picture. I think there was like

40 pictures taken of him with the guitar. They're like, boom, boom, boom. Okay, can he play the guitar? Perfect. That is the move. That's kind of what

happened with The Fiend. I mean, he did that walking guitar solo. I think that was pretty good. I mean, it was pretty good. But he did get, I mean, they got crucified. People hated it.

The whole night was a pretty big dud. Just a big old fucking dud down there. Even Romo wasn't on his best either. I predicted a fucking missed field goal. We did. What was this segment called?

Tony's Tape Room. Could we not drop the room there and just have it be Tony's Tape? It would have sounded way better. Something to think about. Let's dive into Tony's Tape Room. It's just a tape that we're going to roll. You think he just hated the name? He just didn't want to do that good?

Tony's tape. So he doesn't come back? I didn't really hear him breaking down many plays. I don't know. Was he nervous? Super Bowl. Maybe. I hope not.

And I hope this isn't the case. But I hope CBS producers weren't like, hey, maybe a little bit less of a last game, even though the fucking internet loved it. Or maybe he did so well, he was scared to ruin it. You know what I mean? He didn't want to predict wrong because he was on a heater. So why would you want to ruin it on the biggest stage? Next year, he'll come back swinging, see if he gets hot.

He just kept saying over and over that Brady was having a hard time identifying whether it was a zone or man coverage, just over and over and over. So they must have been throwing him off as well. Wade Phillips was throwing off both Tony Romo and Tom Brady. Wade Phillips. Was there any nerves from the Patriots fans

at any point? I will say when Gronk went down in the second, he got up a little limp and we weren't really sure what that was about. But then he came back. Really, I knew we were going to win this game in January when Alabama lost the National Championship. Because? Because I got a little stats

behind this here. Alright, I like stats. Let's go back to 2007 when Nick Saban first became the head coach. By the way, do you hear what you're doing right now? You hear what you're doing right now? Oh, I hear you. You're painting a picture. Oh, I see the canvas, my friend. 2007, Saban goes, becomes a coach.

They win the Independence Bowl. We lose in the Super Bowl to the Giants. Right here in Indianapolis. Right here in Indianapolis, yeah. And let's go to 2009. All right, let's go. Bama wins the National Championship. We lose to the Ravens in the wild card game.

Oh, really? Okay, okay. 2011, Bama wins the National Championship, 21-0. Patriots lose to the Super Bowl to the Giants. A lot of losses. Okay, that. 2011, Bama wins the national championship, 21-0. Patriots lose to the Super Bowl to the Giants. A lot of losses. Okay, that's 2011. Now we're really going to pick it up here. 2012, Bama wins the title against Notre Dame, blowout.

Todd, remember that classic? Patriots lose in the AFC championship to Baltimore, again. Okay, 2014, Bama loses to Ohio State in the college football playoff. What happens? Patriots beat the Seahawks 28-24. Saban loses, Patriots win is what you're saying. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what deal with the devil Saban and Belichick did, but whatever it is, it's opposite.

He can only work for one of them. Yes. So each year the devil is like, Belichick or Saban? Belichick or Saban? This year he won with Belichick. Saban has to rest with the Angels. Next year, I assume it's going to go the opposite direction. I don't know.

We might go back to back. You never know. Gronk's coming back now all of a sudden. I don't think it's talked about. Schefter said. Schefter did say he doesn't think Gronk. That was an atom bomb. That was so funny he said that because literally on the pregame show the next day that I was watching,

he was talking like, oh, Gronk may retire. Fucking Adam's bum. And now we're splitting Adams here. It's a big Adam bum. The hill that they had to climb after losing a Super Bowl is so tough. I mean, it is so, so – because you have a shortened offseason. You have a shortened offseason. You have a shortened offseason. You have shortened everything.

You had coaches that were leaving and coming back. To get back up there is just the picture of this Belichick era, this dynasty era. It's just incredible coaching, incredible just stick-to-itiveness with the players, everything like that. They're just all in. It's tough to beat a team where everybody is all in, and it feels like that's what Belichick is going to be known for,

is getting a group of people, whether they're superstars or not, to buy in on the same thing every single week and then just get to the top of the mountain more often than anybody else has in the history of the game or ever will in the game. And I think that is why Belichick's the greatest coach of all time. Brady's the greatest quarterback of all time. And that is why I believe that Julian Edelman is a Hall of Famer,

mostly because he is a guy who, whatever matters, shows up. And the NFL is so stupid. Let me tell you why. Adam Vinatieri would have had the most points scored record years ago if they would count postseason points. They don't. The most important points of all time don't count for Vinatieri. Only regular season points.

And I would assume the same thing for Edelman. Yards and everything that he does only counts in the regular season. They don't count the postseason. The ones that matter, it's like if you view this as a TV show, the playoffs are just a season finale, right? It's the season finale. Everybody's watching. It's the biggest lights. It's the biggest finale. Everybody's watching. It's the biggest lights.

It's the biggest draw. It's the only shit that matters. And the Patriots are there every year. And Julian Edelman seems to be a guy that just carries them all the way through. And I think that team is tough. It's unstoppable. It's a fucking unstoppable. I just threw a pencil accidentally.

I am so impressed by it. It's next level. Honestly, I'm so impressed by it. I think last night they said Edelman's third or fourth all-time in receiving yards in the playoffs. Second. Yeah, second. He's maybe below Jerry Rice.

He's below Jerry. Above Michael Irvin. And it don't count. And those don't count for the total records. That's so dumb. I don't know why. I think it's because the NFL is very dumb when it comes to that type of stuff. Maybe because it's not fair, I guess.

I don't know why. Right. No idea why. I don't get it. Number of games, everybody's playing the same is very dumb when it comes to that type of stuff. Maybe because it's not fair, I guess. I don't know why. I have no idea why. I don't get it. Number of games, everybody's playing the same. Keep the records as is. But these points and yards matter more than the ones in the regular season. All right, let me ask you this. Just play devil's advocate.

Let's do it. If you think Julian Edelman belongs in the Hall of Fame based on his playoff numbers, do you think Hines Ward belongs in the Hall of Fame? Well, that's a great question because they're kind of similar, although I think Edelman has more moments, more Hall of Fame moments. Heinz Ward threw a touchdown, if I'm not mistaken. Randall threw it to him.

Randall threw it to him, so he caught one in the end zone. Edelman has that catch against the Falcons in the middle of the field that's insane. He has a Super Bowl MVP. Is Heinz Ward a Super Bowl MVP? Yes. Oh, so they're pretty similar. So, yeah, for comparison's sake, so they're pretty similar. Yeah.

For comparison's sake, both have played 18 playoff games. Hines Ward has 1,181 yards and 10 touchdowns with 88 catches. Edelman has 115 catches for 1,400 yards and five touchdowns. He has three Super Bowls and an MVP. Hines Ward has two and an MVP. That is an interesting little observation there. I'd say he makes it. For sure.

He also has the Seattle game-winning touchdown, too. Who, Hines? No, Edelman. Edelman? I'd say Hines deserves two. They both did. I think they both should be in, honestly. If you perform on the biggest stage,

how do you not deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? I agree. I think that there should be more emphasis placed on playoff and Super Bowl stuff than anything else. But the NFL doesn't do that. But I think Julian Edmund should go in. And I think the Super Bowl MVP thing, which pocketed Evan Fox a lot of money. Plus $2,500. Foxy pocketed a lot of cash off of there.

Can only add to that, which is beautiful. Edrin James. Oh, I saw that. I don't know if Edrin James is ever going to get into the Hall of Fame. It's too bad. Let me tell you why. Because he has adult ballets that he owns. And I think you've got a lot of old white people voting.

And they see that. And they view their vote as such an important thing to society and to the NFL that I don't know if they ever will. I don't know if they ever will, honestly. Edrin James, incredible football player, friend of this show. I think the potential adult ballet ownership could get in the way, even though he helps out hundreds of kids every single year at his property, the Orlando property. He does so many good things for the community. He was incredible for the Colts. He went on to do good things for the Cardinals,

I believe, and also the Seahawks, I think. I like Edrin James a lot. I just don't know if he's going to ever get in. I think it's really hard to get in. Do you think these dudes know that he owns them? Oh, yeah. They absolutely do. Remember, they probably go into little rooms. Some of them go into little rooms for Hall of Fame meetings,

and things get brought up that don't matter at all. And they're like, well, we don't want to do that. We'll do this. I think it's all a bunch of bullshit, to be honest. I personally could give a fuck less about Hall of Fames. Personally, I could care less because it's people voting people in that aren't really in you know what i mean if it was players voting in and coaches voting in i think the media has had a

huge role a vital role in the growing of the nfl i don't want to make that but trying to win over the opinion of some sports writer like who gives a fuck about what that person thinks personally but there's a lot of guys that this is something that they want bad. Bad, bad, bad. It's all they want. I hope Edger and James gets in, but I think he might not for a little bit. I think it might be tough for a little bit. How long has he been retired?

2009 was his last year. So he's been eligible for a while. A little while now, yeah. I think he made the finals this year, though. Shout out Ed Reed making it. Good for him. Shout out Ed Reed making it. Good for him. Shout out Ed Reed. Tried to block a pun of mine one or two times.

Scared the shit out of me. Happy he didn't de-cleat me like he's done to plenty of people. Good for him. Troy Polamalu, when's he up? Next year. He's first round, right? I mean, first ballot Hall of Famer. Good for him.

Good for him. Him lay low for a little bit. Hall of Fame is something that kind of just... The NFL honors. Why are you taping that show? I've never understood that. Why are they taping that show? What do you mean?

Like it wasn't live? No. No. So we knew everything on the internet literally two hours before the show was even supposed to air. Because they break it live on Twitter when the awards are announced. So you already know. And then the show starts two hours after that.

Literally two hours. What. Literally two hours? What are you doing there? I heard Steve Harvey did well. I heard I didn't watch because I knew who won every award two hours before the show went out. It's kind of hard to get by. Is it on NFL Network? No, I think it's on... It's on a real channel? I think so, yeah. It's not on the NFL Network. It's not a real channel.

You get it. I think it was on CBS, though. They had a 10-hour pregame show. I know. The NFL Network. Yeah. You get it. I think it was on CBS though. They had a 10 hour pregame show. I know. The NFL Network. Jeez. 10 fucking hours. I don't get it.

It might've been longer. To be honest, it might've been 12 hours. I'm not sure. 10 hours sneaking in everything they can get in there one last time. Let's go ahead and do it. They had four different sets. They had everybody there for 10 hours for fucking.

It's insane to me. Too much. Compared to our like 20 second meeting. Yeah, we had 25 guests in four days. I think that NFL honors show could be something great, by the way. And that is a goal to host that thing. And if I ever do get to host it,

as soon as I walk on stage, I would like to see every NFL players in there just adjust and just sit up and be like, well, here we fucking go. I think there would be a real buzz in that theater if I walked into that place. Oh, yeah. From everybody, too. From the superstars all the way through the special teams.

By the way, I've never been allowed in the award show. I've never gotten a ticket. I was a finalist for an award, Salute to Service Award. There was only me and two others. Couldn't get into the show. I couldn't get in. I think Carrot Top was at the same time. I couldn't even get in.

I've never been able to get into the award show. So the only time I will go is whenever I host it. And that's probably how I'm going to lead off, by the way. First time here. First time I was ever allowed in here with you, NFL elite. It's great to be with you. God, you guys are so good. Won't even let me in the room. It's unbelievable.

That is a goal, is to host that NFL leadership. Even though Steve Harvey, I'm sure he did great. I'm sure he did absolutely incredible. He is a very funny guy. He's all those things. I'm a Steve Harvey fan. His little quote about jumping and to make the transition into my next career was very vital to me, but

I would enjoy walking out on that stage and just watching the reaction of everybody just being like, well, this has become something we did not expect. It would turn into a lot more of a, a real show. It would be a show. It'd be a little bit more of a roast.

There'd be some roasting happening. It wouldn't be, but it'd be positive. It'd be good. A good representative of the NFL too. I think I do great. I hope to do that one day. Good shout out to Andrew Luck, but it'd be positive. It'd be good. A good representative of the NFL, too. I think I'd do great. I hope to do that one day. Good shout-out to Andrew Luck, Comeback Player of the Year.

Shout-out Darius Leonard, Defensive Rookie of the Year. They got it right over that Howling guy down there in Dallas. And, yeah, I think the NFL, it was a nice cherry on top of the NFL, although the game sucked. And I think that's all we take away from the whole weekend. Yeah. I agree. All right.
