Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome, on this Super Bowl
Overreaction Monday, February 12, 2024. This sports program starts now. Football is glorious.
Football brought the entire world together yesterday as we have crowned the champion
of this NFL season and it just so happens to be the same champion of last year's NFL season.
And that happens to be the first time
that that has taken place since 2004
in 2005
when the New England Patriots went back-to-back
in the middle of their dynasty. Now we are
witnessing a brand new dynasty
as the Kansas City Chiefs
have won the Super Bowl.
It was an overtime
thriller, 25-22,
where Patrick Mahomes led the boys on a miraculous touchdown drive
after Brock Purdy led his team down to kick a field goal.
Now did Shanahan make the right decision taking the ball in overtime
with the new rules?
And we heard from Juszczyk and other San Francisco 49ers players
who didn't fully understand what the overtime rules were.
So that was certainly a topic of discussion.
But what we do know is that Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Chris Jones, and many
others are due to return to this Kansas City Chiefs team who are looking to win three in
a row for the first time in a long time.
Purple Gatorade was doused over Andy Reid's head.
MVS was celebrating his second Super Bowl with a flag being stamped in the middle of it.
And the boys got a chance to have a Vegas night after winning the first ever Vegas Super Bowl,
which will become a main part of the Super Bowl rotation.
As Roger Goodell reiterated both last night and this morning. It is an honor to follow this league.
It is an honor to chit-chat about everything that takes place.
And I can't help but say thank you to both the Niners and the Chiefs on Hell of a Year.
Hell of a Year, boys and boys.
The Talks at the Table is here at Boston Corner and at Ty Schmidt.
Con man, you were a New England Patriot fan throughout the entirety of that dynasty.
Obviously, the world started hating you guys.
Feels like the world is starting to hate the Chiefs, but you can't
deny greatness. What they did last night
on the biggest stage in
the world. Allegedly,
200 million people are going to watch. That's what Roger Goodell said
last night. Roger Goodell said 200 million people
are going to win that thing. We all knew
what was going to happen as soon as they kicked the field goal in overtime.
We watched it happen. It took
place. Almost wanting to double overtime
like CBS chairman Sean McManus said earlier in the week.
World could have gone crazy.
First time 20 years overtime, extra football.
But the Chiefs win.
The world hate them.
And we're in the middle of watching another Dynasty happen.
Yeah, maybe it's because I am a Patriots fan, but I loved every second of it.
I think that stuff is some of the coolest things that you can watch and experience in sports.
I mean, not even just talking about football, but in general.
Like, people talk about the Bulls in the 90s,
and obviously the Patriots early 2000s and late 2000s.
Now we have, you know, the Chiefs in 2018 until now.
Like, this is the new standard.
It's cool.
It's sweet.
Andy Reid's lovable.
I know everybody just hates all of them now,
which is kind of sweet to watch from the outside as a Patriots fan.
Like, hey, finally someone else gets what it's like for everyone to think that it's
rigged for you and that all the calls go your way.
Muff punch.
Muff punch.
You get calls in from Goodell down to the sideline.
Hey, we got to get the Chiefs into overtime somehow so they can win.
But it was a great game.
Start to finish.
A little boring, you could say, but every play means so much.
The Niners not knowing the overtime rules.
Wow.
For two weeks, all we kind of talked about was how old school
and how prepped these teams are and how prepared they are
for every possible scenario.
If they score a touchdown, does the entire sideline spread onto the field?
Yeah, it would have been awesome.
It would have been fantastic.
That's what it feels like was going to happen if that were to happen.
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing to think that there is a chance
that we could have witnessed some history,
which would have been the San Francisco 49ers charging the field
after not winning the game.
McCole Hardman, to his credit, did not know that they won the Super Bowl either.
He did not.
Patrick Mahomes told a story afterwards in one of the post-game.
It was wild post-game, trying to bounce from NFL Network to ESPN.
CBS put on some terrible TV show immediately afterwards, and then they were still doing a show, though.
Right.
Tracker?
Tracker, yeah.
I have no idea how all of that goes.
But trying to find the clips and whatever, Patrick Mahomes told a story about.
McCall Hartman didn't even – this is Patrick Mahomes here.
Actually, this is – what's that?
No, I don't need the overtime rules.
Patrick Mahomes told McCall Hartman that basically, hey, you just won the Super Bowl.
He had to tell him after he threw the touchdown to him.
McCall said, I know.
I blacked out.
I had no idea.
What a moment for the Kansas City Chiefs.
What a story for the NFL to be able to chit-chat about how we have another team that is potentially going to lead us for the next 20 years.
Patrick Mahomes is only 28 years old.
Already won his third. Hey, you just won a Super Bowl.
You just won a Super Bowl, he was telling them right there.
Did not know. Now there's three seconds left
in the first overtime. A lot of people wondering why
you're even keeping time.
Why is there even a clock
on this entire overtime
situation? That's a conversation for another
day. One half of the hammer.
Cowboys tone digs your tone.
The books did not want the Chiefs and the
over to hit. How do we feel about the way
the NFL ended the season
turned dig? Yeah, the books
got cleaned out
with the Chiefs winning there.
Obviously, all the big bets were coming in. We're on the
Niners, but the majority of the money, like
the public money, was just a landslide
of Chiefs money. So they got
crushed there, but then they kind of helped out.
Or not helped out.
It was an under game the entire game.
It was an under game.
You go to overtime, and it lands on 47 and almost goes over.
So it goes under there.
So the books are there.
But the books got crushed by the Chiefs.
Which we love.
Hey, this year we saw an 80-percenter hit against the books.
We saw a 70-somepercenter hit against the books. We saw a 70-some-percenter hit against the books.
And last night in the biggest game, they kept saying,
need the Niners to win for the books.
The books need the Niners to win.
And if the script was how it was supposed to be,
you would think that the sports books would have quite a say in the script.
But Taylor Swift gets the Super Bowl.
That's right.
Nine-year NFL vet, hosted a man-to-man podcast and everything, DB.
Darius J. Butler.
D. Butler.
Taylor Swift has won more Super Bowls than a lot of fans,
especially Miami Dolphins fans.
You know, you guys have been sitting around waiting for a long, long, long, long time.
But last night, that game was a beautiful one.
Started out slow.
Super Bowl, everybody's going to be a little tight.
Christian McCaffrey even fumbled one early after having a huge thing.
Ball was on the ground a lot, like four times in the first quarter.
Everything's tight because of the nerves.
But that ended up being a game that we're going to remember forever.
Overtime for the first time, long time.
And Brock Purdy, second year, took Patrick Mahomes to the limit.
Now there's people asking,
are the Niners ever going to be able to win a Super Bowl with Brock Purdy?
He's in his second year.
He took the Chiefs to the overtime.
I assume they're going to be back, but what a heartbreaker
for them. And on the flip side, the Chiefs,
they're just living the best life of all time,
Darius. Yeah, I think the bigger question
is, will Kyle Shanahan ever be
able to get over that hump?
All in three in Super Bowl. Yeah, that's big.
And obviously, we remember the one in Atlanta. But, you know,
Andy Reid kind of had that title on him before he came
over to Kansas City as well. But, great
year, great game, a defensive battle.
Steve Wilkes had his guys ready to go.
They were phenomenal as far as pass rush lanes with Patrick Mahomes early.
But Mahomes, at some point, you know he's just going to figure it out.
He's going to find somebody.
He's going to be special.
He's going to make plays.
Travis Kelsey was a little fired up.
He got much more involved in the game in the second half.
But defensively with Spags, and I've been talking about Spags this whole year, his defense kind of carried them
throughout this playoff run to go up against Miami, Buffalo,
Baltimore, and then San Fran.
I think they gave up a total of like 63 points
in all four of those games, so that's phenomenal.
And then their offense, you know, their corndog,
went back to the corndog play.
Four of them all scored two touchdowns on the same play
last year pretty much with Tony and Sky Moore.
And then you get McCoy Hartman in the end zone right there at the end. I was a little confused
about the timing at the end of that
keeping in time as well. Thank God
for Tony Romo. Hey, everybody relax
out there at home. That is one of the
things Tony Romo got right last year.
That was like a fact that he said.
A lot of just
kind of dominating.
I guess you finished strong, Romo, finished strong.
But I think CBS, I don't know how many people watched.
I'm sure it was a ton.
I think Usher, the halftime performance was pretty dope as well.
I agree.
But a great game.
Just a great finish overall for the NFL.
I'm sure they're happy.
Usher had three wardrobe changes in a five-minute span or a seven-minute span.
Including roller.
Phenomenal.
Putting roller skates on.
And obviously, I've seen Usher flex how good of a roller skater he is.
I think Cam Newton, I've seen him also flex how good of a roller skater he is.
If you have the ability to do this, such an old-school talent that not a lot of people have.
And I think it's like a card that you certainly would like to showcase having.
So shout out to Usher being able to put on roller skates in the middle of this.
I knew all the songs.
Yeah.
So I liked it. I liked it. There's some people that didn't like it sure i think there's
gonna be people that don't like things forever that's just kind of how it goes but i enjoy a
little john's ass popping up yeah what did happen to that one guy that got tossed in the back though
he got launched yeah is he dead he's still he's still flying i have no idea i that they were not
supposed to send that guy as high as they could. There was other people flying. T3 fractured.
If you got to put it on the line
and you got to get launched up into the abyss,
that's what you got to do.
I already fell off a pole.
I saw her slip right down next to it.
That's live action, baby.
That's what's going to happen. Speaking of live,
Gronk missed another kick.
Worse than his first one.
That was bad.
Now, there's somebody who posted on Saturday, I believe, about them,
I would assume, rehearsing the kick in a parking lot.
Because they released footage of the rehearsals.
I mentioned it on the show on Thursday last week when someone walked by.
I was like, we saw Gronk's practice run, and guess what?
If he doesn't tighten up, he's not going to be making it.
Yeah, he missed it, and then they did the follow-up.
It was a lot.
It was.
It was really good.
I think I saw they had somebody have, I think one of their parlays of
Fando had like 60,000 people riding alongside of him.
Pretty good.
I think Bill Simmons, who has it all figured out, I think he had like
8,000 people riding alongside of him.
Like 8,300, I think.
That's a huge number.
Yeah, did not hit.
That's really big.
Really good, Bill. You still have it.
I think we had
250,000 people or something like that.
Keep running your mouth, Bill.
Keep running your mouth. Anyways,
Chiefs face the number 2, 3, 4,
and 6 offenses in the playoffs.
Here's an interesting stat from Hembo.
Chiefs face the number 2, 3, 4, and number 6 offenses in the playoffs, Here's an interesting stat from Hembo. Chiefs faced the number two, three, four,
and number six offenses in the playoffs,
which combined to average 28.3 points per game
per season this season.
A lot of points.
Wow.
28.3 points.
That's a lot of points.
Kansas City held them to 15.8 points per game.
Damn.
Okay, Spags defense locked it down.
Kyle in Super Bowl on third down, Kyle Shanahan.
Three for 12 last night.
Three for eight four years ago. One for
eight in a 28-3 game.
That's seven for 28 in the three biggest
games of his life. Damn.
That's a Hembo stat.
Kyle Shanahan, you might have to
This guy certainly
This guy certainly
certainly painting it a little bit.
That's the money down. First down offense in the third quarter when game flipped.
Chiefs, eight plays on first down for 57 yards.
49ers had five plays for one yard.
Talk about getting on script, off script.
Two completely different halves for both of those teams.
Lamar, Josh, Tua combined for a 43.8 QBR versus Kansas City in the playoffs.
Brock's was 69.8, 26% better.
So people want to kill Brock Purdy.
He performed better than Lamar, Josh, and Tua did
against his Kansas City defense.
Those three had a 6.9 QBR versus Kansas City pressure.
Brock's was 74.1.
So Brock performed the best against his Kansas City defense.
Had this Kansas City team on the ropes.
The Niners almost get over the hump.
The Niners almost win a Super Bowl.
Instead, they're walking off with their heads held low.
And Brock Purdy, now they're questioning,
can Brock Purdy win the big one?
Brock's in his second year.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the conversation of,
can you win the big one in his second year?
So I think we should be pumped about the Niners
and what their future holds.
But boy, it's got to be a tough day today for all of them.
Yeah, and I think there is something to be said about the Chiefs maybe
being team killers. They killed the old
Niners team. This is a completely new
Niners team that was there in 2019.
Obviously, we saw what happened to the Eagles
after last year and their Super Bowl
loss. Is there a chance that the
Chiefs do have that kind of
black magic power where that they
can not only just beat and win
Super Bowls and beat teams,
but actually send them to the shadow realm where they can no longer compete
and go back to the Super Bowl.
So I'm not 100% sure,
but here's a stat that could send you to the shadow realm.
The 49ers had a 7-point halftime lead and led for most of the third quarter,
says Hembo.
However, they went three and out on three straight drives
before the Chiefs took the lead.
The 49ers ran nine offensive plays with a lead in the third quarter
and dropped back to pass on eight of them.
That was something.
Christian McCaffrey kind of disappeared.
Yes, he did.
Now, Christian McCaffrey obviously weapon, and they used him in the overtime.
And once you see him in overtime, they start marching down the field.
I do wonder why Shanahan maybe picks and chooses on when to get him the ball.
You think he just gets lost in there?
What do you think it is?
I don't know.
I mean, he had around 20-something carries.
You know, they stuck to it.
He was productive, especially early on in the game.
When the game first started, they came out of the gates.
Like, oh, boy, you know, on that script, you know, hand him the ball,
some play action.
Juice, I think, the second play of the game, had a big play.
Like you said, messed the ball.
Jumped.
He jumped like eight yards.
Yeah.
That was sick.
Free guy.
That was sick.
But that offense, that Shanahan offense,
is designed to have you in the pickle as a defense.
Like, okay, if we're in third and three, third and four,
you get to that money down and you're in that type of situation
where the run game is fully alive, the play action gained the boot.
But if they're in straight drop back mode against Spags,
he's going to dial it up.
Too many players that can do too many things.
We saw McDuffie blitzing, impacting the quarterback.
Great in coverage all night long.
Snead as well.
15-yarder.
No, holding.
McDuffie had to hold.
Yeah, it was a little.
That could have went either way.
That's overtime.
That's overtime.
Third down.
I mean, I understand, I guess you could call it,
but they hadn't really been calling it.
That has not been the way Vinovich's crew had been calling it all night.
And I don't like the way Jim sent it to Gene.
He goes, there's no controversy there.
That's clearly a hold.
It's like, I guess you could call that certainly a hold,
certainly a hold if you're going to call it.
But they hadn't really called shit all day when it came to DB's wide receivers.
So on third down in overtime, that's a massive time to just call that.
I respect it.
I appreciate it.
But I think the Chiefs are saying, like, are we going to get this same call in overtime
if it happens on the next drive?
I don't know.
Yeah, you talked about Brock.
Like, can Brock get it done?
And then you talked about them bringing pressure on third down.
That third and four at the two-minute mark, like, they picked that up.
All they had to do was run the clock out and kick a field goal, and that game's over.
McDuffie comes not off the edge.
It was kind of like a –
Right in the C gap.
Right in the C gap.
You pick up that third and four, the game's over.
That's just like –
that's how thin the margin of victory and loss is in this game.
Yeah, the Niners are going to be fine,
but it seems like we talked about with the Patriots,
with now the Chiefs, everything,
every break that is necessary or needed goes their way.
Yeah, big-time punts.
Huge.
Punts were the most explosive plays in the game.
Tommy Townsend might have won the MVP for hitting a ball off another guy
on the return team for the Chiefs to pick it up and score a touchdown there.
The Chiefs gained, okay, 298 yards after halftime.
Mahomes had 266 of them.
That's 89%.
And their three Super Bowl wins,
which they're the only team that's ever been down 10
and won three straight Super Bowls.
In all their Super Bowls that they've won, the last three,
they've been down 10 at one point and have come back to win.
In three Super Bowl wins, Chiefs after the third quarter,
so fourth quarter on,
nine drives, six touchdowns,
three field goals, zero punts.
You're talking about just turning it on.
Hey, how you doing? Let's flip the switch.
Let's go ahead and do that. There was a lot of times
last night where I thought the Chiefs weren't going to be able
to just turn it on. Like that first drive
when the Niners just come out and they're just
pounding the ball. It's like, wait a
second now. This might be the Niners' night.
Even throughout the entire first half when they're
seeing Travis go body Coach
Reed. Attack!
Assault, brother! This guy
saw Coach Reed. He attacked Coach Reed.
Now, if Andy Reid goes down there, that looks
great. And Andy Reid said,
well, he caught me off balance. Andy Reid said,
he caught me off balance. Travis Kelsey said, I was just telling him I love him. And Andy Reid said, well, he caught me off balance. Andy Reid said he caught me off balance. Travis Kelsey said, I was just telling him I love him.
And Andy Reid said, they're emotional, man.
This is just how we are.
This is a whole thing.
Obviously, Andy, Pat, and Travis have been very tight for a long time.
Did any of us like seeing Travis Kelsey get in the face and body Andy Reid?
No.
Do we think that he was assaulting his head coach?
No. But is there a sentiment in there like, look how passionate
this dude is. This guy's made
100 million. He's on top of the world. He's on top
of the world. Has made over 100 million dollars.
Hall of Famer. People call him the greatest
tight end of all time. And here he is in a middle
game going, hey, give me the damn ball
dude. I am sick of it. You love
that if you're a Chiefs fan. Everybody that hates Travis Kelsey
is going to say, this guy's
got anger management. This guy's a
terrible guy. Imagine he'd do this in any other
workplace. It's not any other workplace. They're tackling
each other for a living.
In the competitive
world is different than your office
job. Although I respect and appreciate
your office job, things like this
are certainly more likely to happen.
Don't love it. I assume Travis couldn't talk about it.
I assume it's all going to come out as
a conversation at some point between Andy
and Travis, and they both said that they're coming
back next year. Is Jason Kelsey going to
join the Chiefs next year?
Certainly possible.
No.
Certainly possible.
No, no, no, no.
Jason will be on TV next year.
I heard he met with ESPN and Fox.
I saw some people saying they hope Jason Kelsey takes our place.
If Jason Kelsey gets a three-hour show in the middle of the afternoon,
I'm pumped.
I am 100% pumped about it.
If he joins ESPN, I'm very excited about it.
You saw the Chiefs stuff.
Oh, yeah.
You see his low snaps from Creed Humphries literally every single snap.
Yeah.
Start thinking to yourself, like, Jason Kelsey puts that thing.
Play with his brother?
Jason Kelsey, first-team all-pro.
Not the Creed Humphreys, who's much cheaper, I assume, than Jason Kelsey,
even though he might take a discount.
You know, play for a ring, play with his brother, play in Kansas City.
No, no.
Jason Kelsey's an Ohio guy.
He wouldn't do that to Philadelphia.
And I think he was so comfortable wearing all that Chiefs stuff
because he knows that he's done.
Yep.
I don't know.
He's a free agent.
He's a free agent.
You can move Creed over to guard for a year, then bring him back to center.
They need to bring Jason in to be just fat in the room.
Yeah.
Hey, guard gets hurt, center gets hurt.
Obviously, we've got Jason Kelsey sitting here.
He looked good in that luchador, man.
Yeah, he did. I saw him dancing, too. He got Kelsey sitting here. He looked good in that luchador, man. Yeah, he did. I saw him
dancing, too. He got more rhythm when he put that
Kansas City Chief luchador.
Still right there right now.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, he has a move. We thought about
sending a request in to his people
to join the program today. I assume
he's not alive in any
capacity of chit-chat. We appreciate
how much fun he was having. And Taylor
and Travis. Oh, my God.
I love it.
So much fun.
So sweet.
Ty's been all over from the jump.
Love, love, love.
What's that?
Absolutely just madly in love.
And Ty was from the first and beginning when some of us may have had some questions up here.
Who's us?
Yeah.
Why are you pointing to Ty?
You're the only human.
No, Ty was the guy that said.
I like that everybody else is getting credit for how our entire program, but you felt.
Literally you, you, Tone, JJ, JJ Watt, AJ, everybody seemingly.
I appreciate the fact that Taylor and Trav, they're in love.
Yeah.
Big time.
She's a football girl too.
She took a 14-hour flight to make it to the Super Bowl, right?
From Tokyo into LA.
Getting in and out of Vegas, impossible. Just nightmare. Drove from LA to Vegas. She took a 14-hour flight to make it to the Super Bowl, right? From Tokyo into L.A.
Getting in and out of Vegas, impossible.
Just nightmare.
Drove from L.A. to Vegas?
From our own research, it was impossible to get out of Vegas.
But then they show her on the Jumbotron, okay?
And she saw her future brother-in-law a couple weeks back say, Hey, this is what you do at football games.
You're allowed to do this.
She raises that, chugs wine down in front of the whole crowd.
Queen.
And takes it to the, now obviously one swallow, two swallow.
Let's get this thing done.
And boom.
Hey!
Slam.
Love that.
I hope the place went crazy.
I assume Niners fans booed her, which makes it even better.
If she's chugging booos in the face of boos,
Taylor's the most football girl of all time.
Travis and Taylor afterwards seem to be
really smitten. A lot of smooching.
A lot of smooching. Love it.
We did it.
We did it. He sang,
Viva Las Vegas!
They showed her in there. And the world hated
the fact that Taylor Swift got to experience a Super Bowl
in her first run, but we just want to say welcome to football, Ty.
Welcome to football.
Happy you're here.
Her chugging booze is a beautiful thing, Ty.
Oh, yeah, they also showed her, I think, I want to say it was maybe right after
Pacheco fumbled early on, and she was just absolutely destroying her probably.
A lot of nail biting.
Yeah, freshly manicured nails.
A lot of people saying, like, oh, okay, she's invested.
You're not doing that to a $4,000, $5,000 manicure job
if you're not incredibly nervous, incredibly invested.
And then, yeah, after the game, you're going to tell me that's not true, love?
They're saying Ice Spice was throwing up some hand motions.
Wow, those people might be honest.
What kind?
They're saying Ice Spice was throwing up some hand motions Wow, those people might be honest They're saying Ice Spice
Did J.J. Watt ones?
That they were putting on him a couple weeks ago?
No, maybe
I don't know if they're connected or not
I don't know how the eye and the devil are connected
I think they are
Although we were kind of trapped
With the Taylor Swift booze chug
Which I certainly was
When that made its way on the internet, I'm like,
yeah. What a beast.
We love this one.
She's a beast.
She's just chugging her.
They're saying I spice throwing up devil horns.
Yep.
Oh, no.
Balenciaga.
She has the Balenciaga arm sleeves.
Yeah, I think there's a chance she was flexing.
She's doing the Chador.
There's a lot in this video.
I mean, Jason Kelsey's in
overalls right behind Taylor. I mean, there's a lot
to take in here, but the thing
that I would like to focus on, Taylor Swift
chugging her booze in front of everybody.
Welcome to football.
Welcome to football.
And God bless everybody in that
You know what I mean?
God bless all the sweets
Carrot Top hanging out with
Jimmy Kimmel

What an enthusiastic response to getting put on the jump. Great act.
Oh, yeah.
He was so excited.
He was pumped to be there.
Thank you for the love.
He said, thank you so much for acknowledging me.
I like that.
I also appreciate the fact that Beyonce's got blonde hair now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Country singer now.
Beyonce?
Yeah, in the country music.
Yeah, there's a country song that released yesterday from Beyonce.
So good.
She might be coming back to dominate.
From Texas, right?
Yeah, a whole new genre here.
Okay, well, good luck to Beyonce with her blonde hair and her country music.
Jay-Z was sitting there.
The guy who created Twitter was literally sitting, worth $4.5 billion.
No nameplate.
No.
No nameplate for this guy.
The richest guy in that thing.
No nameplate.
I'm sure he likes it.
Now, there's a lot of people that don't like him.
Sure. And there's a story with people that don't like him. Sure.
And there's a story with him, too, because he had on the Satoshi shirt.
What's that?
Satoshi is the anonymous creator of Bitcoin.
Oh, here we go.
Jack Dorsey, Twitter, Square.
Of course.
How about Blake Shelton not getting a name tag?
Gwen Stefani was there.
Blake Shelton was in the back.
Now, shout out to Gwen Stefani.
This shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-N. That's what Stefani was there. Blake Shelton was in the back. Now, shout out to Gwen Stefani. This shit is bananas.
B-A-N-A-N-A-N.
That's what I thought was bananas.
Blake Shelton doesn't even get a nameplate in the back there.
It was nice to see it.
Bron Bron was in there.
The genie was sitting next to Post Malone.
I saw that Bud Light had a big night, didn't they?
I don't know if it's going to turn anybody super against them,
but they certainly had a big night last night.
They did.
Duncan, but yeah, it was pretty good.
Duncan.
Duncan's the best commercial.
For sure.
Duncan's and Michael Cera.
People love those two.
Okay, so for those that watch the commercials,
I think you can see why I refuse to work with ad agencies.
Sure.
Probably smart.
These folks are terrible at their jobs.
Yeah.
Okay?
They're spending
other people's money.
We're so creative.
No, you're not.
You're a dipshit
wasting other people's money.
Those commercials are crap.
Most of them
are complete crap.
They're spending
$7 million.
Now, Jesus got banked,
by the way.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Jesus is spending money.
Dude, I did not know
that Jesus
was raking it in.
Well, that's a man of the cloth.
Right.
Okay, cleaning other people's feet.
Yeah.
Yeah, not being scared to do the lowest of low jobs, you know, for everybody.
Jesus paid $14 million last year.
Maybe give that $14 million.
I'm not going to say it.
But all these people are getting their feet washed.
You give them $14 million.
Maybe we change the world a little bit more.
But Jesus works in a mysterious way.
We're not counting Jesus' pockets.
Well, I mean, Jesus spends $14 million and gives Ice Spice another change.
You know, maybe it's a whole different game.
Maybe she flips.
But the Dunkin' Donuts one was awesome.
I assume Affleck created that.
Real creative.
Actual person with a brain.
Michael Cera won good.
All the other ones pretty much cropped.
The walk-in one was top-notch.
That was incredible. I think that was
maybe the first commercial, too, so I was like,
oh, okay, maybe this year's the year where every
commercial... Do they stink every year?
I think they have... Majority. I think they have
ever since that became
like, oh, people go
to Super Bowl parties just to watch the commercials.
Ever since that narrative started,
I feel like the commercials have sucked.
Because it used to just be like,
that was kind of like a nice bonus to the game.
It's like, oh, you know,
we're going to get some big-time commercials
with, like, some stars doing stuff.
We'll get some major movie trailers.
But then at some point, it became like,
oh, no, I actually watched the game for the commercials,
not the game itself.
And ever since that started, they've sucked.
They're like, yeah, you're right.
It is our Super Bowl.
And they suck. All of them
suck. Sorry, not all of them. I'm sure
there's one or two ad agency reps
that are good at their job. Everybody
else sucks. We've met them.
They are bad. They are dumb.
They lack creativity. They have no
idea who humans are. But we need
to give a shout out to Anheuser-Busch.
They brought those Clydesdales back.
And then the dog was Rudolph. The dog guided them but we need to give a shout out to Anheuser-Busch. They brought those Clydesdales back. They did, I think.
And then the dog was Rudolph.
The dog guided them to the bar where they needed to deliver the booze. Smart.
We got horses.
We got a dog.
We got booze.
Let's keep it moving.
Shout out to them figuring it out at Budweiser.
It's always cool to see the Silver Bullet Coors Light train out there.
That's always fun.
Did you see our guy Glenn Powell in a cowboy hat chasing twisters?
Incredible. Glenn Powell's back. Did you see our guy Glenn Powell in a cowboy hat chasing twisters? Incredible.
Glenn Powell's back.
Stole the movie show.
He might be the face of Hollywood right below Tom Cruise now.
Let's talk about some of the guys who
had a hell of a night last night.
McCole Hardman, obviously.
MVS, huge night.
Pacheco, huge
night. I think he made some massive plays Travis Kelsey I thought he was
gonna score that touchdown in the game that would have been oh man massive on the Niner side how
about Iuke Iuke had a big game yeah Brock Purdy didn't do as terrible zero turnovers through the
whole ball uh Felicia on oh got hurt Greenlaw got hurt Oh man He tore his Achilles
Going on the field
Crazy
I mean there's
I look at that
And I think there's no chance
That I don't tear my Achilles
In the next 5-10 years
Devastating
That's all it takes
On grass
So like
That was so random
And like
I don't want to be the
Bearer of bad news
But I feel like
If it went there
It was probably going to go
In the next few plays
In the next few plays.
And this goes back to the...
So that's the last Achilles this season has had.
Remember, four plays into the Jets
season, Aaron had his.
Feels like more than we've ever had.
And then now, in the
Super Bowl, we get one just going onto the field.
This year, the Achilles
almost. And I don't think we know
shit about it. How do you strengthen it't think we know shit about it like how
do you strengthen it do we know if that's coming did dre greenlaw have any inclination at all that
his achilles could pop while he's just bouncing up and down to get ready to go on the field to
hit somebody it's a scary thing that is a very scary thing this achilles yeah you see it happen
just randomly i've seen it happen people playing pickup basketball but just not doing like a freak
there wasn't like a freaky movement.
He did a couple calf bounces, calf raises,
and ran on the field. He was
on level
12 entering the game. After the play,
every play, every series, he was super
juiced, but hated to see that for him,
especially such an impactful player to get
hurt like that. Then obviously he lost some other
players as well. That's kind of been one of the common
themes with the Niners too too as the playoff,
you know, these big-time games, big-time players go
down, unfortunately. A lot of injuries. Feliciano
goes down. Debo was in the tent
for a while. Yeah, what happened? They just gave him...
I was... I didn't know
Toradol could do that. I was thinking the same thing.
He was like exploding afterwards.
It was fine. He actually...
Who jumped over the cameraman
on that same call? Ray McLeod, I thought.
No, it was Chiefs D-back.
DB.
I think it was McDuffie or Snead.
Yeah, because Debo, the overthrow for Debo.
Debo still sprinting, though.
Old buddy jumps up over the photographer.
I'm like, that whole, when you're going, trying to go a little faster,
that's when the hamstring.
It had to be a cramp.
It had to be like a cramp maybe.
He looked like he was out of the game.
Yeah, he was down.
And usually once a guy, I think even Jim and Tony said it,
like I was shocked to see him back in the game, especially so soon.
But, you know, it's the Super Bowl.
It's no tomorrow.
But to see him play, it looked like at full speed.
Kittle had a separated shoulder.
I mean, they had a bunch.
You're talking Feliciano, Greenlaw, Kittle, Debo.
Starting safety Brown.
Brown.
Yeah, and that Kelsey tackle at the end of the game.
Oh, yeah, on the sideline.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a lot of injuries.
Six starters.
In the middle of one game.
Now, obviously, Kittle comes back.
If Kittle's in one play earlier, does that hold happen,
which then puts him behind the sticks or whatever?
We don't know.
But it's like, why does this continue to happen to the Niners
in the biggest moment?
Last year was the NFC Championship.
They lose four starters in the first quarter,
can't even complete a forward pass.
Last night, guy tears his Achilles going onto the field.
Deebo Samuel, what, has a torn hamstring?
Then he comes back.
I don't know.
It's a shame.
It is a damn shame.
But once again, that's the things that don't happen to dynasties.
Like the Chiefs, none of that.
The Chiefs had none of that happen to them.
All the balls bounce their way.
All the calls seemingly go their way.
Even though Vinovich's crew got a little flag happy early.
Yeah, they did.
And then they kind of settled off at halftime.
It's almost like Vinovich gave a speech like,
Hey, remember, whales, not minnows in this entire game.
I didn't think they officiated a bad game, by the way.
We should give them credit.
No, not at all.
Hey, good job to the Reds.
Niners fans might feel different.
Yeah, but that's what I was about to say.
They just got a bunch of calls.
I mean, how about a hold on third down in overtime?
Yeah.
That should make up for.
The spots for the Chiefs, there was like four or five
where it probably should have been a first down
And it was third and one, fourth and one
So Niners fans are mad?
I mean that big
It was a big place
And over time
That Rice
I believe it was third and six
Crossing out Fred Warner
Blitzing up the middle
I believe it was McKinnon
I mean it was just
A tackle, yeah
There was a couple of those
Taylor got away with a couple
But I mean you're going to miss some
You're going to make some
I mean if you're a Niners fan, on third and 13,
that hold to give you a first down after Brock Purdy just put it in the dirt
pretty much.
In overtime, it's like it's going to be tough to hear anybody's complaints
after that particular.
Definitely a hold.
We're not saying it wasn't.
But, like, that shit wasn't called all game.
That was not even a part of the conversation all game.
And then on the biggest third down in overtime, it happens.
It's like, going to be hard to hear your complaints.
So I think Vinovich and boys, and they had like four crews on the sideline.
Yeah.
Whenever there was almost a fight, there was 45 refs.
You know, out of nowhere.
Congrats to the refs.
Not a bad year.
Not a bad year.
Could have been much worse. I agree.
I think so, too. Has been much worse.
But it feels like no matter what,
if your team loses the Super Bowl, those people
are going to be pitching. You can find.
There were so many times
just watching the game where it felt like there was a hole
that you could clearly see, but they weren't calling it
on either side. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen,
is a senior NFL insider for ESPN.
A man who I believe has had
a massive week and then got corrected
yesterday by Rex Ryan.
Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Shefty.
Shefty, how are you doing, pal?
Happy Super Bowl Monday.
Happy Super Bowl Monday to you guys.
How you doing? Nothing like getting off a red-eye
and feeling really right.
You can't even talk the next day.
Hey, let's bring the juice, Shefty. You got Yes. Hey, let's bring the juice, Shefty.
You got this, Adam.
Let's bring the juice, Shefty.
I got it.
Okay.
I got it.
Hey, they're talking about this becoming a national holiday.
Where do you stand on that?
And how do you think we make that happen?
Well, I'd love to do that.
I mean, why can't you just move the Super Bowl to the Sunday before President's Day on Monday
and just combine President's Day with Super Bowl Sunday
and make it back-to-back
so that...
Is that next week or last week?
When is that? Whenever it is.
You gear it around it.
Oh, so we just...
It's next Monday.
So when they add that extra game that we all know
is going to be added, that will happen.
So then now all of a sudden we got
President's Day, pseudo super bowl hangover right yeah okay i think presidents would appreciate
that i think that is such a yeah and you know it's interesting because i was just thinking
to myself this morning it's february 12th and boy like you think now long season fun season
time to take a little bit of a break except we got've got to be in Indianapolis in two weeks for the
Combine. So I'm like, well, this would be
great because then we get to go hang out at the Thunderdome.
Only certain people are on vacation
that week, I understand.
No! Shoot.
Yeah, we are. I didn't even think about it. We're off
throwing a Combine. We've got to come back for that.
I didn't realize that. We're off for the
Combine? You are off for the
Combine. Sources have confirmed.
Yes.
All right, awesome.
That's a bad idea.
Put that out of the box.
That's a bad idea.
You guys are shutting it down when everybody's coming to town.
What is that about?
That feels like a technical flaw by my part.
Honestly, I assumed the combine was longer.
You just said the combine's in two weeks.
I thought it was in March.
I thought it was in March.
Oh, my God.
What is the deal?
Son of a bitch. It starts Thursday. I mean, most of it. We're back. We'll be back. We'll be back for, my God. We'll just start Thursday. What is the deal? Son of a bitch.
It starts Thursday.
I mean, most.
We're back.
We'll be back.
We'll be back for some of it.
We'll be back for some of it.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
That was bad.
That's a bad idea.
We'll be back for the DVD.
I mean, we could take off right after this show and then be back.
No, no.
We got All-Star Week coming.
Oh, yeah.
All-Star's coming to Indy, too.
Jesus Christ.
Indiana's the bell of the ball. Indiana's the bell of the ball.
It is the bell of the ball.
It starts on the 29th.
Technically, we're back.
That's Friday or Thursday.
Technically, we're back that Monday.
No, we just missed it.
Everybody comes into town
Tuesday for the Combine.
There's all the press conferences on Tuesday.
There'll be lots of news on Tuesday and Wednesday.
And you guys can be off, but have a great time.
Enjoy it.
We will.
We will, but we will be missing everybody.
Let's talk about last night, or this morning, I guess.
Andy Reid confirms that he'll be back for 2024.
Obviously, Chris Jones' contract is up.
That was a whole scene at the beginning of this year.
But it feels like most of this dynasty
Is coming back next year
Is that an accurate depiction as we sit here
On this overreaction Monday, February 12th?
Yeah, and I think what's interesting here
Is this team always felt like it would be better
Set up to succeed
In 24 than 23
With some of these young receivers
And Pat Mahomes
So they think on offense that these receivers,
these young guys are going to gel more with him.
I mean, we saw Rasheed Rice come on.
Did I say it correctly?
Yep, you got it.
Okay, Rasheed Rice, okay.
A guy like him would be even further along next year,
that their offense would be further along next year.
Travis Kelsey says he's coming back now too, so nobody wants to miss out on the fun of trying to defend two straight back-to-back
Super Bowl titles. But yeah, and Chris Jones, by the way, I know he'll want to get paid,
of course. But there's certainly a bond there. You can see the way that him and Andy Reid were
acting after the game. I don't think he's going to want to leave unless there's some huge
difference in offers between Kansas City and somewhere else. And the Chiefs value him. They
want him back. So to me, yeah, they're going to run it back with a lot of this team intact.
They're not losing their coordinators. Steve Spagnuolo, who won his fourth Super Bowl title
as a coordinator yesterday, he's not going anywhere. Their offensive staff is returning.
Like, here's the thing.
Steve Spagnuolo is not getting a head coaching job at this point in his career.
He's a great coordinator, but teams are not interested in that regard.
And Matt Nagy's on the offensive side of football.
Look, he struggled in Chicago.
He got run out, but they love him in Kansas City.
And so they've got coaches there.
Even their defensive line coach, Joe Cullen, was in demand by the NFL, other NFL teams and college teams,
and very quietly wrapped up, very quietly last week, they get an extension done for him to make sure he doesn't leave.
So they ensure continuity on their staff and the players are going to be
back. So yeah, the overwhelming majority of this team is back to run it back in 24.
Late last week, we heard that Eric Biennemi was back in town with the Kansas City Chiefs after
the commander situation becomes what the commanders have been since the beginning of time, pretty much.
He was with the team before the Ravens. I think Patrick Mahomes said that energy he brought back was something that we've missed yeah was he with him during the
Super Bowl and is he just going to be an advisor now so the commanders have to pay him how do you
kind of see Biennium with Kansas City Chiefs going forward you know he was up for a few different
roles first of all I interviewed for the head coaching job in Washington there were there were
offensive coordinator jobs that he was very quietly involved with that ultimately he didn't get in the end.
Where?
What's that?
Where?
Well, I think he was a candidate in Seattle, for one, to begin with.
Okay.
That came down to the end there.
How about Pittsburgh?
I don't think Pittsburgh, but I can't confirm that.
New England?
Because there was no conversation about Mianemi at all.
The first time his name popped up is that he showed up in Kansas City.
He's been in play with a few teams.
He's been out there.
It just hasn't gotten a lot of attention.
He's kind of done a really nice job of keeping things quiet
and going about his business.
But he's been in play for a lot of these jobs.
And I would imagine this year
obviously he can take some time and decide
whether he wants to keep coaching and take
a role with the team in some kind of
I don't know what it would be, assistant head coaching role
or advisory role, consultant role,
whatever it may be, or take some time
and then come back strong the following year.
Okay, let's stay
with the Kansas City Chiefs before we move elsewhere.
Travis Kelsey told Andy Reid
that he loves him in the middle of the game
while yelling in his face, is
what Travis Kelsey told us. Is that
going to become a big story? They win a Super Bowl. Who cares?
Let's move along.
You know what's amazing is,
and I think this is incredible,
they had this incident during the game.
They have the incident later in the game where
Mahomes and Rashi Rice are going at it on the sideline there.
Rice is not happy.
Rashi Rice.
Rashi.
Rashi.
Rashi.
Rashi.
Rashi.
I'm going to get this before we're done here.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah, Shaft.
Rashi.
And so Rashi Rice and Mahomes are involved in that little sideline incident.
And those are the things that, I mean, you can tell me if I'm wrong, you always see them on teams that lose.
And they had two of those incidents, and they still won.
Like, it doesn't matter what happens.
It doesn't matter who gets hurt.
It doesn't matter who's arguing.
It doesn't matter who turns to the football.
That team with that quarterback seems to always find a way to win the football game.
And so if they had lost, yes, I think that would have had some legs to it,
but they won.
So who cares?
Now they can say they love each other.
We forget about it.
We go on, and that's the end of it.
But to me, it's the kind of thing that I'm amazed that they were able to overcome.
Okay, I agree, because distractions normally kill ball clubs.
This team has dealt with a lot of distraction all year.
They end up winning their Super Bowl.
This is a team in a year they were distraction all year. They end up winning the Super Bowl. This is a team
in a year they were supposed to stink. They're on top
again. First team to go back-to-back since
2004-2005 New England
Patriots. Truly phenomenal stuff. The
culture over there intact seemingly
for the next few years. Let's go to a couple other teams
now. Yesterday, you had this
report, Adam Schefter.
This past week, the Dallas Cowboys went ahead
and hired Mike Zimmer as their defensive coordinator. He rejoins the Dallas Cowboys Adam Schefter. number of candidates like our own Rex Ryan. And I can tell you this, they loved Rex.
They were highly impressed with Rex.
Rex made quite a mark on the Jones family.
And I'm a little surprised we didn't hire him with as much as they loved him.
But we're quite happy that they did, and we're happy to have him here.
And this will be a big year for the Dallas Cowboys.
Without him, Mike McCarthy on the last year of his contract.
So Rex has got security here.
He doesn't have to worry about a head coach on this set being in the last year of his contract. So Rex has got security here. He doesn't have to worry about a head coach on this set
being in the last year of his deal.
I just keep getting offended because everyone tries to take you away from us.
Okay?
Nobody does.
It's hard.
We love having you here.
You know we have fight, don't you?
Oh, there ain't no question.
I can honestly say right here, first off,
I'm not so sure that Zimmer's got that job right now.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm not really sure about that.
I can honestly say I don't believe that's a fact right now.
Okay, so, Shefty, you do fantastic work.
Your tie, Super Bowl tie.
I mean, you looked phenomenal there.
But as I was watching that live, I thought to myself, what the hell does that mean?
Did Rex and Shefty not talk before the show started? What do you think he meant by that? And how sure are
you that Zimmer is the defense court? Is Rex Ryan potentially still in play as the defense coordinator
of the Dallas Cowboys, Shefty? Well, that was not, you guys were not the only ones surprised by that,
right? So I hear that. I'm'm like what the heck now last year last
year let me give you a little bit of a backstory last year uh before the super bowl show started i
went to rex and i said hey rex uh i got a feeling that you're going to come up in connection to
interviewing with the broncos defensive coordinator job uh just let me know here is there anything
that i should be saying not saying are we okay here. Is there anything that I should be saying? Not
saying. Are we okay here? Or is there anything that I need to be aware of? I believe you're
talking to them, but no, no, it's nothing. It's nothing. It's nothing. Okay. You got Rex. Okay.
Well, we get on the Super Bowl show and my good friend Jay Glazer reports that Rex is
interviewing for the Broncos job, Broncos defensive coordinator job. Let's fast forward it to this year.
We have meetings.
We go over, you know, what the topics are going to be.
People know.
There's no surprises.
Now, I knew from speaking to various people in Las Vegas this week, the Cowboys, they didn't like Rex.
They loved Rex.
They loved Rex.
Jerry Jones, when he got done listening to Rex, was like, I was ready to run through a wall with that guy.
Okay, so what do we want to say here?
Well, you know, I'm going to be fully transparent.
So Rex said what he said.
He opened it up.
I'll finish it up right now.
And I love Rex.
Mike Zimmer's deal is not done yet.
So they have reached out to Rex
subsequent to that,
and they were shot to him
about 15 minutes before that segment
just to say, hey, any shot of this?
So that's where the confusion came.
They're not done with Zimmer yet.
The deal's not done yet, I should say.
So until they get it done,
they're kind of
checking into other things to see if things happen.
Rex Lyon is sitting on that desk as you're doing that breaking news.
He's like, funny you said that.
Is Jerry Jones a reasonable source?
That's basically what happened.
Literally shortly before I said what I said, which we all knew, they reached out to, hey, could this still
happen? Because the Zimmer deal is not done yet. Now, I still have not heard the Zimmer deal being
done, which means that Rex could conceivably still be in play. Ron Rivera still could conceivably be
in play. Anyone else that they've interested could conceivably be in play. Now, ultimately,
I do think it will get done with Zimmer,
but I'd like to amend my report and say it's not done with Zimmer.
Not yet.
Wow, we got some drama.
My God.
We got some controversy.
Wow.
Could you imagine Rex Ryan back in the NFL,
especially for the Cowboys, primetime every week?
Needed.
Rex Ryan on the sideline every single week.
And I like that during that entire report, you're like, they loved Rex.
I will say, and I don't know if you're just saying it because you wanted to put it over Rex.
No, I know.
But what I didn't know was that.
They were texting Rex while you were talking.
Well, maybe they were.
I don't know.
Maybe that inspired them to recognize the love they had for the man.
Oh, yeah.
Right?
I don't know.
That's awesome. What's that? No. Oh, yeah. Right? I don't know. That's awesome.
What's that?
Yeah, what?
It's just a hilarious situation.
Again, let me say this.
So after the segment, I go to Rex.
What the hell?
And he goes, ah, you know, they reached out.
But I don't think it's going to happen.
I don't think it's going to happen.
I said, oh, okay.
Now, I'll also say, and I say this with love and affection,
because I do love Rex so much, and he's such a great teammate. He also told me last year, no, I'm not say, and I say this with love and affection because I do love Rex so much,
and he's such a great teammate.
He also told me last year, no, I'm not talking to the Broncos.
It's not an idea.
It's nothing.
So I never know what to believe from Rex when it comes to this stuff this time of the year.
Well, we never know what to believe from you, Chef.
We never know what to believe.
Rex is old school.
He's old school.
Probably when it happens, it happens.
Probably don't like news breaking before it happens.
I can respect that.
Obviously, you've got to respect
Shefty the job he's got to do. Absolutely.
We had this conversation
last week. When is
the deal done?
Is it when everybody understands that the deal
is done or whenever the paper is signed?
When the papers
are signed. Jerry wants to get
things done in his salary structure.
Maybe when it's coming to Mike, there's a disagreement over what he's worth. Rex is saying sign it right and jerry wants to get things done in his salary structure and so maybe you know when
it's coming to mike whatever there's a disagreement over what he's worth and rex is saying i mean uh
jerry's saying let me reach out to rex see what his price would be and he he goes and gets because
by the way he did like i said he loves rex so if he's having a hard time reaching an agreement
with zimmer well let me see what rex would cost. So, hey, Rex, you still interested?
Because they weren't on the same page yesterday.
There is a program on ESPN to reach out to Rex to be on the show today.
I believe he is scheduled to be golfing, but maybe he signed a contract.
We have no idea.
Darius has a question for you, Shefty.
Yeah, something from the game, from the Super Bowl game.
After, you know, it went to overtime, which we don't see much in the Super Bowl.
And after the game, it seemed like some of the San Fran players
and maybe even the coaches were a little confused on the overtime rules.
Was there not a memo sent out maybe earlier in the week?
Usually I don't see that, especially at this level.
You know, Super Bowl game with some teams being confused.
Obviously the Chiefs knew exactly what it was since the rule was basically put in because of them uh so what's
some info on that as far as San Fran knowing the rules or getting a memo well you know the funny
thing is is that that rule was approved before the postseason last year so we've gone two straight
postseasons and that was the first overtime game since the new rules
were implemented. The league doesn't have to send that a memo. The teams know the new overtime
rules, but because we have not been through a situation like that, I think there was a lot of
confusion in public. Like I still have people texting this morning. So they're saying, explain this to me. If the Chiefs hadn't scored
before time had run out
of the first overtime,
there would have been
a second overtime
or there wouldn't have been.
No, there would have been.
It's like, it's their second.
Why are they even keeping time?
I don't know.
It's a good question.
It's just, you know what?
Time should be knocked out.
It should be irrelevant, right?
It doesn't matter.
Bingo.
I was trying to figure that out last night as I was watching it because of your tweet about Sean McManus.
I'm like, holy shit.
Well, hold on.
You know what's weird about that?
I happened to be there.
There was no reason for me to be there, right?
Here's the funny part about that.
So CBS does a press day, and my daughter was working for Nickelodeon,
doing reports during the game.
So she was in this room, and as her guardian, I went to go make sure that she was okay
and to be with her and take her back and forth along the strip in Las Vegas, right?
And so I walk into this room, and it's all the great CBS people,
and they do a great—here's Jim Manson, here's Tony Romo,
and here's everybody involved in the,
Phil Simms and Boomer Sison and James Brown.
And I'm talking to all of them
and they're bringing them out to introduce them
to the media for this press conference.
And then Sean McManus comes out and says a few things
to the assembled media.
When he said that, I'm like, my antenna went up.
I'm like, oh, the NFL told them
that there was going to be a two-overtime game here?
Wow, that's fascinating.
I knew he was joking.
But I'm like, it was a great quote.
So I put it out.
Well, we see what happened.
I mean, it almost went into two overtimes.
So I don't know.
Like, I used to doubt the scripting stuff.
Now I'm like, what the heck's going on here, Pat?
Well, Stephanie, you keep feeding this.
You keep feeding this.
Of course, his daughter's the one that found out the script, not Chef D.
Yeah, well, that's the reason I was there.
Possible deniability.
Oh, my God, you're going to do that?
My daughter.
It's my daughter.
I was thinking of your tweet, though, as we were—I think a lot of us were, as we were watching it.
And then I started thinking to myself, with these new rules, why is there even an overtime one or overtime two?
Well, but back to the show.
So I had, you know, it's funny.
Last postseason, there was that box that I posted on Twitter last night about the new playoff overtime rules.
Yeah.
And I literally had that box.
Like, some people, when I posted it, like, oh, that's quick.
Schefter knew the script.
He had it waiting.
You know, like, no.
I've had that box waiting for a playoff overtime game,
the first one since the new rules were implemented two seasons ago.
So I was just waiting for the time to come before I pressed send.
You were just waiting for Roger Goodell to tell you to send it.
We know the deal.
Speaking of overtime last night, Conman's got a question for you.
Yeah, Schefter, obviously with the Chiefs, everyone's coming back.
Their coordinators are safe,
everything like that. What about the Niners on their
side? I saw some people saying, you know,
hey, is Trent Williams going to retire now?
What's going to happen with the IU
contract? And then obviously Purdy. Is Purdy
going to get paid, you think, this offseason
before the final year of
his contract? Or how do you see that going?
Purdy
is ineligible to be paid and that's
one of the great parts, the ironic
parts about his contract.
If he had been an undrafted
free agent, he would
have been contract eligible this offseason
but as a 7th round pick
he's locked into 3 years
so they cannot even do a deal so they get the
benefits of paying him on a rookie
contract this season.
Now, that's a huge advantage.
It allows you to go pay Joey Bosa and trade for Chase Young
and do all the things that pay a running back like Christian McCaffrey.
They could do all these things because Purdy's in that contract.
Now, this will be the last year of that contract before I would expect that they're going to make that right
and sign him to a long-term deal.
But Purdy's under contract and literally not prohibited from doing any sort of extension.
Iyuk is a free agent.
We'll see how that works out.
They'll want to bring him back.
Iyuk's going to get paid from the Indianapolis Colts.
Well, yeah, because you guys are going to let Pittman go.
No, we're going to pay him, too.
Yeah, we're going to pay him, too.
Iyuk's going to be hot on the market. That's going to be a name that is going to let Pittman go? No, we're going to pay him, too. Oh, okay. Yeah, we're going to pay him, too. They do that. Uke's going to be hot on the market.
That's going to be a name that is going to be huge.
Well, by the way, so knowing that he's hot on the market, you know, you tag him, and
you see what it's worth to another team.
And then you see if you want to keep him or whether you want to get something back from
him.
Like, by the way, it wouldn't be the first time that the Niners and Colts made a deal
involving a franchise kind of player.
We saw that happen with DeForest Buckner.
Shout out to DeForest Buckner.
Other news in the NFL this past weekend.
Go ahead, Tone.
Yeah, Chef.
At the end of the year press conference, Mike Tomlin said that there is going to be competition
at the quarterback spot.
And now this weekend, I can't remember who broke it or was talking about it.
Maybe Garofalo said that Tannehill potentially going to
Pittsburgh to reunite with Artie
Smith. Is that just rumblings?
Have you heard anything about that?
Well, there's an obvious connection between
the offensive coordinator and the quarterback,
and we'll see whether anything comes to that.
We know that Pittsburgh's going to go out
and get some type of quarterback,
whether that's Ryan Tannehill,
whether that's Russell Wilson, whether that's Ryan Tannehill, whether that's Russell
Wilson, whether that's Justin
Fields.
Justin Fields, I know
Mike Tomlin's
a big fan of Justin Fields.
We'll keep that in mind during the offseason
in the coming weeks.
There'll be a decision
that that organization has to make
in terms of the quarterback that they want to bring in,
but they're not just going to leave it as Kenny Pickett, his starting job.
Mike Tomlin made that very clear.
So now it's which of these quarterbacks do they make a move for?
Which one is somebody that they can go acquire?
And who fits into what they're willing to give up to either another team
or to pay that player?
Mike Tomman back.
OC, Artie Smith.
Him and Justin Fields.
People are talking about him in Atlanta with Justin Fields.
We'll be excited to see what it is in Pittsburgh.
Last question here for you.
Other big news for a friend of our program.
Unfortunately, yes.
Chef, you mentioned that Biennium was maybe kind of linked to the Seattle OC job
and then out of nowhere, maybe kind of out to the seattle oc job and then out of
nowhere maybe kind of out of nowhere because i think there were some rumblings about it but ryan
grubb leaves bama to go back to seattle to be the oc there did that kind of come out of nowhere or
was that uh a guy that they've kind of been circling obviously with his ties to washington
yeah you know the funny thing about these things, Pat, that's your world more than my world.
Not really.
But the day that Mike McDonald was hired,
I heard Ryan Grubb's going to be his offensive coordinator.
Like, just waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting.
Why didn't you tell us?
What the hell?
Shafter, you're on this show every week.
I hadn't heard that.
You didn't say to me, who's going to play for the Seattle offense? Oh, that's the game we're going to play? Oh, we got on this show every week. I hadn't heard that. You didn't say to me, who's in play for the Seattle...
Oh, that's the game we're going to play?
Oh, we got a needle here.
Okay.
That's our job.
Journalism.
You're right.
But anyway, so that name had been linked to Mike McDonald right away.
In fact, I was told right away that he was getting the job.
And I remember asking some people, like, oh, hold on, hold on. That's not happening right now. You know, they went out and they
talked to some of the people. They had to go through the process. They want to see what they
want to do. But I think that he was in their sights from the moment they hired Mike McDonald.
And I would imagine that when Mike met with the Seahawks brass, that he presented that name to
them and that they knew that he was one of the
possibilities that when he took over,
if he took over,
which he did,
that he would be able to go get Ryan Grubb and bring it with him.
If McDonald gets any job,
does he take Grubb with him?
You think even if it's not Seattle?
Uh,
I think he would have been in play anywhere with Mike McDonald.
Yes.
Okay,
cool.
Well,
it's happy to hear that great news.
Great information.
Go take a nap. We appreciate the hell out of you buddy guys i appreciate you
having me very much enjoy the week after the suit what what what's going to be the big topic now i
guess adam silver's on wednesday boom so it's an nba week and then and then we get a quiet week
and then you guys go on vacation while the combine comes to your city. It's been a great season. Thanks, buddy.
Thanks, Jeff.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jeff.
Damn, I didn't know the combine
was that quick. I mean, what are they doing in February?
What are we even talking about? February?
February's Super Bowl month.
It's always in March.
Well, it's Black History Month, first of all.
Well, right, but I'm just saying.
Bosa 0-2. Nick Bosa 0-2
in February. That stack got 0-2 in February.
That stack got thrown on the internet last night.
People were loving it.
They loved it.
That hashtag.
All right, so we got to figure out the combine, though.
That's not good.
No, I don't think we have to figure it out this year.
We're not going to be here.
I think we're good, actually.
We don't have to figure out anything.
Amen.
We already figured it out.
We'll be back on Monday to overreact to it.
We're going to be so fired up.
Are you kidding me?
Jaden Daniels throwing, maybe?
Plus, quarterbacks have their own pro days.
Yeah.
Kids.
This is your aunt, A.J. Hawk.
Join us.
Howdy, baby.
A.J. Hawk.
Good to be here.
Howdy, baby.
A.J., how you doing, pal? Man, what a game, huh? Really a cagey firstdy, baby, AJ. Howdy, baby, AJ. Good to be here. Howdy, baby, AJ. How you doing, pal?
Man, what a game, huh?
Really a cagey first half, I'd say, and the second half really picked it up, didn't it?
Well, Super Bowl, you know, everything's going to be a little tighter.
And although we view these superstars as super cool characters, you know, very comfortable
and confident in their abilities, and you earn your way to the Super Bowl by beating
great teams one after another and performing at the highest level.
Super Bowl is a Super Bowl.
You can try to act like it's not a different game.
You can say, this is a normal game.
Let's just do our normal routine.
Let's get out there.
Once those bulbs are flashing, when you hit that kickoff,
you realize quickly, this is a different game.
It's a little bigger.
Guys seemed a little bit tighter.
Christian McCaffrey has that fumble early after they just marched right down the field.
Then the ball was on the ground three more times
in that first quarter. It just felt like
the boys were a little tighter than we could have imagined,
but it's a Super Bowl. It is to be expected.
And then in the second half,
now we're playing football, A.J. Hawk.
Man, I mean, could you
have, well, I know there's a lot of script talk
and all that, but could you have drawn up
a better script to keep people engaged,
keep people involved?
And also, going back to why is there a clock in overtime,
that just confuses everybody.
I just got a text from Big Red, Matt Garrett,
who's the College Game Day EP, I believe is his title.
Used to be in the NFL for a long time.
Came over to College Game Day.
Guy's got the biggest noggin.
You know those big hats that they had at the Super Bowl?
I think Mike Vick was wearing them.
That's his actual hat.
Like, that is what he actually, not with the thing in the middle.
That is what he wears.
Big brain, good guy.
I appreciate him.
He texted me and said, well, that's because if there's wind,
it's an outdoor stadium.
It changed like the quarter or whatever.
It's like we don't have to.
Overtime used to be just one overtime.
But I understand that that is potentially in theory the concept but it's like the the thought of are they not going to be able
to score here whenever they get the ball back i don't think whenever the rule was implemented
they thought that one drive would take eight minutes right and then another one would take
seven minutes i don't think that was necessarily thought about for the timing thing whatever it's
football need time okay i don't think it is necessary but
i do appreciate the fact that everybody and their moms and their daughters now because taylor swift
pays attention to the football true knew what was going to happen after the niners kicked that field
goal in every time aj right yeah it pretty much felt like it was inevitable no question yeah that
is what patrick mahomes is and i think even t Romo said it, and he said a lot of things last night,
and he sang a little bit last night and all that.
But it's like this guy is the Tom Brady.
This is it.
Tom Brady in this situation, we think the exact same thing.
We go, okay, you gave Tom Brady the ball back.
All he has to do is go score a touchdown.
75 yards, and they win another Super Bowl.
They were going to score a touchdown right there.
That is just a matter of fact on how it's going to go Now Spags and that defense get a huge stop
Make Jake Moody kick a field goal
Jake Moody way to bounce back kid
Way to bounce back
Rookie kicker obviously misses that extra point
Hits it a little bit fat but it was blocked
I mean Harrison Bucker
Kicked a 57 yarder
High snap timing was off.
Hits it in between.
Somebody gets very lucky.
That thing goes through.
Super Bowl record.
Yeah, two Super Bowl records last night.
One of them broke in the same game by the kickers.
Fantastic work.
Didn't like Jay Feeley burying Jake Moody.
Guy's a rookie kicker for the San Francisco 49ers.
Obviously, that extra point's a big deal.
Jake Moody's going to think about that forever.
But very unlucky as well that somebody's hand
just so happened to be there, which is what blocking
is. Jake Moody's got to make that, though.
Jake Moody knows he has to make it,
how it goes, but it's like
that whole game, as it gets
going, you start thinking to yourself,
oh, the Chiefs are going to win this game. I think it was
maybe third quarter,
middle of third quarter, we all had the same
mind. It was like, oh,
they're only up one touchdown,
the Niners.
And they've seemingly dominated the game.
And the Chiefs have, what, four yards
on the offensive side. I think they've only completed
six passes or something like that.
And it's only a one-score game. It's like,
the Chiefs are still the Chiefs.
Chiefs is going to win this game. And then whenever
you get a punt, muff, turnover, it's like, yeah,
this is what happens for dynasties.
Tommy Townsend hit a ball into the sky.
The blocker, off blocker there, 28, had no idea it was coming down.
Chiefs get the ball inside the 20 in the third quarter.
It's like, here we go.
This is what happens for dynasties.
And it just felt like it was only a matter of time aj hawk for all
of us now with that being said brock purdy and the niners took the chiefs overtime in his super bowl
yep kyle shanahan had a 10 point lead he loses again so that's going to be over his head for
the rest of his life until he wins the super bowl but i thought it was a fantastic game i think it
all played out perfectly yeah definitely i mean it was a lot of fun to watch and what what it felt
like early on i mean through what almost three what it felt like early on, I mean, through what, almost three quarters,
it felt like the Chiefs offense had to work so hard just to get a first down.
Like everything they were doing, like the Niners were making them go the hard way.
And it felt like that.
I'm like, all right, I don't know if you can keep that up for four quarters.
And then all of a sudden, like you said, the Chiefs is the Chiefs.
They become who they are, who we are used to seeing.
Because obviously old Patty Mahomes is making plays all over the place
and guys are making plays for him.
And Kelsey, what, one catch, one yard at halftime?
I know JJ made a point of that watching the halftime show,
and then Kelsey comes alive in the second half when you need him, man.
It's just this is what they do.
JJ had a sweet haircut.
Sweet haircut.
So cool.
Everybody noticed it.
Everyone noticed it.
That was one of the greatest tweets I've ever seen from somebody.
One of the most self-aware tweets from somebody who is at a superstardom level.
You ever change up your hair and wonder if anybody will notice?
They noticed.
Yeah, yeah.
The entire internet noticed.
He had a little bit of this going on whenever he joined us.
He did.
On Wednesday.
Not to the max that it was.
No, because we went out and told him.
Yeah.
He had like, it's like a sloppy spike.
You know, a lot of whites who have a lot of calyx have done this with their hair for a long time.
The boy bands obviously had a lot of guys that had this type of hairstyle.
There is a ratio, though, of hair down, hair spike.
Hair down, hair spike.
A lot of people are thinking too much spike, not enough hair down for old guy who sticks his finger in an electric socket.
Right.
Is what they're saying about this guy.
So I want JJ to know you're still
handsome, you're still bigger, stronger,
and better than all these people that are burying you,
but I appreciate the self-awareness out of
the JJ Watt. Yeah, I mean, you love the guy
Liv, okay? His soccer team is one of the worst
teams in the whole country of England, okay?
He wants to switch up his hairstyle,
maybe make him a little happier. Let
him do it, okay? And you mentioned
at the end, say it to his face.
You think he looks like a big, dumb, dipshit,
and you think it's the worst haircut of all time?
Say that to his face.
Yeah, we got a lot of people calling us a lot of names
because we talked about Taylor Swift on the internet.
I just want to let you know, she's a football girl.
She chugged beer last night.
I'm a fan of that.
Yep.
I am a fan.
Now, allegedly there's some devil stuff happening
a couple doors down.
Oh, yeah.
Did you see that, AJ?
What, you're talking, you think I Spice is throwing up something?
I thought maybe she's part of Wolfpack, NWO.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Maybe.
What do you think they're chugging?
Are those beers?
Is that tequila?
What is it?
I think it's wine.
I think it's probably a white wine.
Yeah, Chardonnay maybe.
I saw Miles Teller poke his little head in there with his long drink hat on.
Maybe it was a long drink that they were chugging in there. Mai Tai makingardonnay maybe. I saw Miles Teller poke his little head in there with his long drink hat on. Maybe it was a long drink that they were chucking in there.
Mai Tai making an appearance up there. Obviously
he and his wife, close friends with Taylor Swift
and the gang up there, but I think
a nine-year NFL vet,
Darius J. Butler is here.
Roger Goodell's got to be
six to midnight about everything
that happened this entire season.
Absolutely. Taylor Swift. So hard.
So hard.
Just rocked.
We're not talking any extra
additives to make it happen.
We saw him meet. We don't know if that's him
meeting Taylor. Obviously he's
been Taylor a long time. He's scripted her becoming a fan.
But he's probably
Thank you. Jesus Christ. You have
no idea.
We've spent so much money trying to get the younger girls into the NFL demographic.
We've never been able to do it.
Then you show up, start chugging booze for us.
I mean, thank you so, so.
Incredible.
So I can't.
Thank you.
If we get to 200 million, please.
Thank you so.
Please smooch Travis several times on the field every day.
Thank you so much.
And then afterwards, I need you and Trav
It's a love story
Baby just say yeah
Roger Goodell's gotta be pumped
I saw an entire commercial or feature
Or segment about dads with their daughters
Watching NFL now
Because of what Taylor was able to do
I think that is an additive for the NFL as a whole
But boy, there's people that hate Travis
Hate Patrick, hate Taylor.
I heard somebody say, that fat Andy Reid, I wish he would have fell down.
That's what people are saying.
I don't think I saw that.
Actually, the first time I saw that Goodell-Taylor video,
they were saying Taylor was kind of getting him in line.
Like, hey, let's get this game turned around.
Let's get the Chiefs ahead.
You mentioned it earlier.
Mahomes, I think you said 298 yards after halftime.
Like pretty much for the majority of this year in the playoffs,
they've been a terrible second half team offensively.
So just goes back to him, you know, just being a big game guy.
When the game's on the line, the biggest moments,
he's going to play his best.
Chiefs gained 298 yards after halftime.
Mahomes had 266 of them.
That's from our friend Hembo in the second half.
Well, I guess into the fourth, or into overtime as well.
In their three Super Bowl wins, the Chiefs, after the third quarter,
so I guess you're counting the overtime last night,
nine drives, six touchdowns, three field goals.
Yeah, when the lights are literally the brightest,
when the most amount of pressure that you can
have in professional sports,
in all professional, the Super Bowl,
fourth quarter, what does Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey
and any other team do? Yep.
Play their best football. That is the
thing that you can't measure at this stupid combine.
Like, you can't find it at the combine.
You can't find it at the pro day. It's like,
hey, whenever there's 200
million people watching
and billions and billions of dollars on the line,
are you going to play normal?
Are you going to play worse?
Are you going to play better than you've ever played?
It's like that team's filled with guys that play their best ball.
You saw the last play, the corndog play, and then not only that,
throughout the game, you know, a couple of design quarterback runs
that you haven't seen all year with my homes work called perfectly work great big fourth down play to get out on the edge
jump it off like this just amazing master class offense and then and the niners like they were
they were bringing pressure they were sitting back and no matter what they were doing it didn't work
like i didn't love i don't know how you defensive guys feel about it when it was i think they got it
to they got it was like, it was the MV,
I think it was MVS when he caught it and then ran
backwards five yards. Oh yeah, second and 14.
And then they just let it, and then they all
played 10 yards off and just let him get eight
yards, so then you're sitting with the
third and six, which I believe was the Rasheed Rice
third and six across her route.
There was some things that I questioned. They would bring
pressure, they would sit back, none of it was working.
Travis Kelsey was wide open on a third and ten on one of those last drives.
They were trying everything.
So, you know how Travis Kelsey runs the Travis routes?
And we talk about that.
In the first half, it felt like a lot of the play calls,
they had people going to where Travis normally dances at.
Like Tony Romo.
Bad a thousand.
Hot bad.
I mean, he was just sitting in there every single –
Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer.
Every time in there.
And, hey, we're wheeling and dealing as well.
But there was one time where he was like – it was down the red zone.
And he was like, all right, this is where Travis Kelsey would normally go here
and then go to the middle of the defense.
They had four wide receivers all going to that same spot,
and Travis went out to the outside.
But Patrick Mahomes didn't have enough time to get to the outside.
It was only to the middle.
I wonder if that's where some of the frustration that Travis Kelsey was having
was like, hey, let's just let me work here.
And then in the second half, no matter how you feel about him attacking
and assaulting Andy Reid in the middle of that game. Oh, game oh boy i mean i was a bit alarmed andy almost went
down he really he caught him off guard no question well that's what andy said i didn't like he caught
me off balance and i look like i was gonna fall yeah i certainly did not like that he talked about
families fighting you know this is just passion in a moment mckinnon coming in who got a big time
run later in the game coming in and saving him. But I think that's potentially a part of it.
It's like Travis is like, yo, what do we do?
Like, just let me kind of do my – I think that's why he was pissed.
And in the second half, you saw a lot of Travis routes.
You saw a lot of like, I'm just going to go find the open spot.
Patrick's going to find me.
Overtime.
First, like, three plays.
It's like, all right, we're going, we're going, we're cooking,
we're cooking to Travis.
It's like, this is what we've seen over the last five years,
and it's going to continue in the next year, AJ.
And that's what we all, I think are fearing,
especially if you have a team in the AFC or just a team in the NFL at all.
These two are going to be running rough shop for another year.
And Travis is going to have an entire off season.
Oh yeah.
That was a, that, that one, that was a big one right there.
That third seven.
Cause they had Fred Warren on him a lot in man-to-man coverage.
I feel like Ward, I think he was on Noah Grell in that play.
Definitely weren't your best cover guy on Travis Kelsey with that little mesh route.
But to your point, when the game's on the line.
And even then, that thing he threw the back shoulder fade,
and that's when Rasheed Rice was kind of upset because he didn't come to him.
Yeah, the ball was on the ground, Rasheed.
Yeah, low snap.
I didn't even know you were on the field at that time.
Yeah, couldn't get back to him Throwing the back shoulder fade
I think he was going to 87 regardless
He catch it, nobody catch it
We kick the field, we go to overtime
Yeah, I do love though
That Travis is about to have a whole offseason
Love
That's right
So much love
Touring the world probably
Yeah, he's probably going to Australia, right?
He's going to parade
After the parade? I mean, who right? Parade. After the parade?
I mean, who knows? Taylor might be
after the parade. I believe the parade is Wednesday
from what our sources
have been telling us due to the
fact that we might have 15 on.
Ooh. Yeah, maybe.
I'll be excited to chit-chat with him because he's just like,
yes, too. He's just like, we have this graphic.
This dude's only 28 years old. Look at this graphic.
Look at this graphic they've already put together. This's only 28 three-time Super Bowl three-time
MVP two-time regular season MVP 15 and three he has more wins than Peyton Manning in the playoffs
absurd he's only 20 years first quarterback with three 10 plus point comebacks uh in the Super
Bowl it's like this dude's only 28 years old, A.J. Hawk. I mean, come on, Andy.
Like, with young receivers, like, it doesn't matter.
This is, yeah, we are seeing, yeah, we're witnessing the next great dynasty,
obviously, and having him only 28 years old.
And Andy Reid doesn't, Andy said he hadn't even thought about retirement, right?
Everyone's claiming that he might retire.
No, Patrick's 28.
He could do this for 12 more years.
He's, I guess, too.
Insane.
You know?
Just like after the game, moxie, swagger, confidence.
We ain't done yet.
Like, we're not done yet.
He understands the mission.
I think Travis Kelsey even said, you know, after we won that first one,
we chit-chatted about how there's different tiers of teams.
You know, like there's the teams that win one Super Bowl
and then they're kind of gone.
Then there's the teams that go.
And he's obviously talking about the New England Patriots.
And they're like, that's their vision is like,
we need to build a dynasty here.
Like, this is what we want to do.
I think Boomer was talking to Patrick before the game,
or Nate was talking to Patrick before the game.
I forget what it was during the CBS pregame kickoff show
where JJ's hair was certainly a topic of conversation.
But like, Boomer was talking to Brock, and he said,
after Super Bowl 58, the 49ers are, finish the sentence.
And Brock Purdy said, champions.
And then Nate Burleson said, after Super Bowl 58,
if you could please finish the sentence, Patrick Mahomes,
the Chiefs are, and he said, a dynasty.
And I was like, like oh they're yeah they
are that is what they are that is their mindset is like yeah we are the great ones he's only 28
people are talking even us included like let's not start comparing this guy to Tom that's gonna be
an impossible feat seven Super Bowls six in one place 20 years of dominance it's like it's hard
not to this guy's only played for 6 years
You know, because his first year he didn't play
Alex Smith was the quarterback
He's been in the league for 7 years
6 straight AFC championships
They've won 3 Super Bowls
Like, what is this guy?
He's different
Speaking of different, joining us now
Quarterback pundit for ESPN
A man who knows all things football
We heard him 2 weeks ago say
I don't know to something
Which was startling
And breaking news.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Orlowski.
Dan, happy Super Bowl
overreaction Monday, pal.
What's going on? How are you guys?
Hey, fantastic. How was your week out
in Vegas? We saw you in like a closet there
for a little bit doing some hits on first take
and get up.
Yeah, it was, you know,
Vegas isn't necessarily my scene no shock to anybody but
um you know i'm an east coast snob so going out to vegas and trying to find sleep there and whatnot
is a struggle but it was all good good to see a bunch of people have some fun all that i'm happy
to be home well it's not certainly my scene either but like there's good food there. There's good people there. There's good shows there.
Super Bowl was there.
Great location.
It was
everybody's city this past week.
Especially if you're a U2 fan.
Obviously. If you're a U2 fan,
Super Bowl week was even better
because you actually knew some of the songs they played on Wednesday.
Yeah. That was a full
article. You know that.
Numerous articles about you burying them.
I tried to find it.
I could not.
Yeah.
In the post, I believe.
I saw Fowler basically wrote a full article on his Instagram. Yeah.
Fowler was pissed.
It felt like it was directed right at us.
It's the Lord's work.
It was.
Well, Fowler went to a different show than what we went to.
He did.
Oh, he did?
Yeah, because we went to the show that was shit,
where they didn't play any of the songs that anybody knew.
And I guess later in the week, Friday, they played.
Yeah, Bono was like, oh, shit, let's play songs that people like.
And they did.
And they did.
And Fowler was like, this is a great show.
I don't know what anybody's talking about.
It's like, look at his set list, Fowler.
Yeah.
Look at his set list.
You're welcome.
Yeah, it could have been because of Ty.
Yeah.
I'm happy that happened to Bono.
You know, from what I've read, he needed that.
Someone needed to say it.
Okay? Listen, I'm not some U2
superfan, but you go to Vegas,
like, we're not just going to some run-of-the-mill
U2 concert in the
middle of the summer, where if you're a U2 superfan,
sure, you take the D-
set list, and then you act like it
was the greatest concert ever. Because you got to see
boy. Exactly. We're there to see spectacle.
We're there to see the sphere.
And most importantly, we're there to see and hear three or four songs that we've actually heard of before.
And we didn't get any of that.
Well, that's because we left early.
Two and a half, three hours.
Can I get an impersonation again, Ty?
If Bono just gives me a quick run again?
That was more of like an English one.
Bono is actually Irish.
Bono McGreg Irish So um But yeah
It's a place
Now I'm just kinda
I don't even remember what I said initially
But
Oh yeah that's right
I mean no one has actually ever heard
Of any of these shitty songs that we're doing
We should do the good ones
Like hello hello
The first song
Amen
Yeah
How is that not the first song
Beautiful day
Hello
Hello
Yeah we
Hello Right Hi great to see ya It makes no sense How is that not the first song? Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hi.
Great to see you.
It makes no sense.
We're not carrying this into another week.
No.
No, no, no. No, we can't.
You two ruined our Wednesday.
They did.
Let's leave it at that.
We could make it a war.
What do you mean?
This could go on a long time.
A lot of these YouTube people have been attacking us for not having an understanding of anything.
It's like, okay, were you there?
Yeah.
You weren't. So I don't want to hear it. We were's like, okay, were you there? Yeah. You weren't.
So I don't want to hear it.
We were there.
And we're not the only ones.
Remember, Rapaport came up later and was like, I didn't know any of his songs.
Yeah.
He said, I'm a YouTube fan.
It sucked.
Mike Foss.
Yeah, YouTube super fan.
Super fan.
He was emotional about going because he loves YouTube that much.
First ever YouTube show, he was crying when they found out he was going.
Rossio, same thing.
Yes.
Anyways, Dan, let's talk about the game.
I'm sick of talking about U2.
Yeah.
I get U2 has done good for the world.
For sure.
Thank you, U2.
Thank you, Bono.
Thank you so much, Bono.
Thank you, Edge.
Edge crushed it.
The Edge, you sons of bitches.
Edge crushed it.
And the manager on base? Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Killing it. The edge, you sons of bitches. Edge-crushing. And the manager on bass?
Oh, man.
The big, handsome drummer?
Yep.
Fantastic stuff.
Just play something we know.
Please.
And also, use the sphere for a show, not just to put your faces up there.
Yes.
For an hour and a half.
That's not what we came for.
Sorry, Dan.
Let's get to this.
You weren't there.
You have no idea.
You're good, buddy.
You like U2?
I don't dislike them, but I don't like them.
I don't know their music.
Like Usher?
I thought the Halftime Show was sick.
I'm not a
massive Usher fan, but I thought
the show was awesome. Honestly,
I remembered
he had so many hit
songs that I had kind of forgotten about,
but I thought the show was awesome.
Yeah, you got to let it burn.
I mean, there was a lot of those taking me back to high school.
Oh, yeah.
Junior high even.
Yep.
Then some college hits.
Then little John pops up and he's on roller skates.
It's like, yeah.
He's younger than I thought.
I thought he was older.
I thought Usher's like 43 or something like that.
He's got to be 50.
45.
That's what I said, Pat.
He was like 16 when he was killing it.
That's Bono.
Bono's throttling you.
All right, let's talk about the game.
Patrick Mahomes cements himself as a Mount Rushmore quarterback last night,
obviously.
Future Hall of Famer, obviously.
He's only played for six seasons.
He has three Super Bowls.
This guy is phenomenal.
He is stupendous.
What did you learn about Patrick Mahomes last night
that maybe you didn't know,
or did anything kind of accent your points
you've already had for Patrick Mahomes?
Yeah, I don't think we learned anything different.
Well, I'll say this.
The way that this season has gone and then the way that he kept them in it last night, focus-wise,
I think the star of the game was Patrick Mahomes.
I think the reason the Chiefs win is because of their defense.
I said before, when Patrick came into the NFL, he was a phenom.
He's now gone to savant.
You know, I think when you're in the building last night,
the first half was a really weird feeling.
You know, it was you guys probably watching on the broadcast.
I don't know how much they kept camera on the field into the commercials or out of them,
but the body language from their offense was so off.
They were absolutely shell-shocked.
The defense, and you guys know this, they had a little bit more juice on and off the field and whatnot.
Offense was awful.
But you kept seeing Patrick not blink as far as shots on the sideline.
seeing Patrick not blink as far as shots on the sideline.
And I think the things that stood out for me in central focus to Patrick was how much control they gave him at the line of scrimmage to make some checks.
He made some checks.
The third down that he dumps the ball off to McKinnon to the right,
I think it's like third and two in the fourth quarter,
Patrick checks that play at the line of scrimmage.
The shallow cross to Rasheed Rice in overtime,
I think on third and sixth,
that's a check at the line of scrimmage,
both by the play call and the way he handles the protection.
So just, again, we've seen him come into the NFL
and be this unbelievable talent,
but watching him win games in many ways
because of his mind and his football IQ and his intellect.
I don't think it was learned last night, but it was certainly stamped in that fashion.
Go ahead, AJ.
Dan, were you surprised afterwards to hear the difference between the Chiefs, how dialed
in they were to hold the overtime situation and what their plan was compared to the Niners
and the players, some of them not really exactly knowing, obviously, what their plan was and even knowing what the overtime rules were in the playoffs
yeah shocked number one their head coach has you know been in a the only overtime in Super Bowl
history obviously Kyle with the Falcons and the Patriots so the fact that he experienced it too
the rule changed like two years ago and I think everybody that is a fan of the nfl or plays in the nfl
knows why that rule got changed in regards to patrick and josh allen and whatnot so
you know i'm kind of shocked or brady i'm kind of shocked that those guys don't know like the
at least some capacity of the rule um you know and i was talking to jeff saturday because obviously
jeff coached
in the NFL last year for a brief period of time. I was like, don't you think that's something where,
you know, when that rule change happens, you guys know these meetings sometimes throughout
the season, team meetings become so repetitive and you try to find ways to have meetings in a
different capacity. And so I'm shocked that like they didn't have somebody at least to our knowledge right now you know drum up some of these different rules or rule changes
to make sure that everybody knew so I'm really surprised that and veterans like Armstead and
Juszczyk didn't know and I was you know again calling the game for you know the international
feed last night oh yeah once Kyle took the ball I immediately turned to Lewis and Fowler I was
like that's crazy
to take the football and i think you know this is i heard kyle talk about the analytics and they
wanted the ball third my thought about it is it's all it's very similar to the dan campbell kick the
field goal go for it thought for me the numbers say one thing. They factor. They matter. You have to take into account how you're playing and who you're playing.
And Patrick Mahomes had just gone right down the field in regulation,
marched right down the field.
They didn't get stopped.
They just ran out of time.
That's how they kicked the field goal to tie it.
And your defense was reeling at that point.
But also, like, Kansas City's defense was playing fantastic.
So like you thinking, I'm just going to take the ball, march down and get points. I would have
never given the ball with four downs to Patrick Mahomes. I would have never done that. And that's
what you do when you take the ball first. Yeah, because obviously whenever you have the ball
first and you're on your own 25, you have no idea what the other team's going to do. So you might,
if it's fourth and six, obviously punt that ball away because it's smart football first and you're on your own 25, you have no idea what the other team's going to do. So you might, if it's fourth and six,
obviously punt that ball away because it's smart football.
Whenever you're the second person that gets the ball,
obviously you're in an advantage because you know exactly what you have to do.
Okay, we have to kick a field goal. Well, it's four down territory until we get into field goal range.
Oh, we have to score a touchdown.
Well, it's four down territory until we score a touchdown.
Patrick Mahomes actually chirped about it to NFL primetime,
who had a phenomenal post-Super Bowl show last night,
to Booger and Berman about the NFL rule, overtime rule in playoffs.
Yeah, we were going to kick if we got it.
So, I mean, they let us know what we're going to do
so we can go for it on that fourth down.
We talk about those situations all the time.
I mean, we changed the rules, so, I mean, we can execute them them on both ways i don't know how they're going to change it this time i love that a little confidence a little moxie
a little swagger and some football iq in there which is exactly what patrick mahomes has displayed
since he got in there but yeah they had a fourth down where they had to pick it up and it's like
if they would have won first do they punt that there yeah and then what happens with the niners
coming down especially with jake moody who just hit a 55 yard field goal it's like if they would have won first do they punt that there yeah and then what happens with the Niners coming down especially with Jake Moody who just hit a 55 yard field goal it's just
like you want to be second and I understand playing for the third possession but you think
Patrick Mahomes gonna let that thing get to a third possession I'm not 100 sure and that's the
thing and Pat I think there was another very similar situation and location on the field I
want to say in the third quarter,
where they had third and one. I think it was like their second or third drive of the third quarter.
They have third and one. They don't get it. And it gets to like fourth and half a yard.
And in my gut, I was like, I wonder if Andy Reid goes for this just because to try to generate
some juice. And he punted the ball in that situation as well. So I truly believe if the
situation is reversed and they have that fourth and one, and they're the first teamed the ball in that situation as well. So I truly believe if the situation's reversed
and they have that fourth and one
and they're the first team with the ball,
because their defense was playing so great for Kent City,
I would have guessed that over time
they punt the football away.
So you just don't give.
That's why who you play matters.
You do not give an all-time great coach and quarterback four downs in that situation.
Well, I think he'd punt it, too, because Tommy Tanzu.
Oh, man.
Absolute nukes.
Punters should have won MVP last night, potentially.
You know, if Patrick doesn't have the walk-down-the-field-game tie,
walk-down-the-field-game win in back-to-back series.
You know, Patrick Mahomes proves he's Patrick Mahomes.
Might have a punter, you know, or a kicker as the MVP last night.
And that's how people were judging the game.
They said, this game stinks.
If it's a specialist bowl, I didn't see it that way.
I thought it was beautiful.
D-Butch got a question for you, Dano.
Yeah, we know kind of who Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are at this point
in their careers.
Brock Purdy on the other side.
Obviously, back-to-back NFC championships and now a Super Bowl.
Came up short, you know, which most people do against spags former yukon defensive
coordinator as well uh what were your takeaways from brock purdy uh in this game and going for
i know people already asking is he ever going to be able to win one can the niners win one with
brock purdy what's your thoughts on our 13 going forward? I thought Brock was sensational last night.
I thought Brock missed one
throw. It was the deep out
or decision, the deep out that he throws that
Mike Edwards comes over the top and bats
away. I thought he had Debo Samuel
underneath. That was the decision that I sat
there. I was like, yeah, that's uncharacteristic
for him. But Debo,
going into that game, it was
this Kansas City's defense is
awesome. You know, they
play very physical. They play
great man coverage. He's going to have to have
pinpoint accuracy. He did.
I thought he avoided four or five
sacks, you know, to go
against that. He missed Debo, though.
He missed Debo, you know, when Chris Jones is
in his face. Missed Debo. Yeah, but
that's got to be, I mean, you have to credit Chris Jones a little bit, you know, when Chris Jones is in his face. Miss Debo. Yeah, but that's gotta be, I mean, you have to credit
Chris Jones a little bit, you know.
And while
yes, he misses Debo, and that's fair,
he also, like four or five plays
later, throws a touchdown to Jennings on that
drive. Now it takes some time off the clock
and so does that change how the game
goes, but like
Chris Jones, I think
took away three touchdowns so you know that defense
had skunked lamar and baltimore's offense you know they did an okay job versus josh allen josh
i was great against them to uh they skunked that offense you know they're you know the only
quarterback to play good against that offense in since october was josh allen i thought brock
purdy was very fantastic and I thought that the ball placement,
the tight window throws, he was aggressive with the football. He was convicted with the football.
I think if you do anything but walk away even more encouraged to Brock Purdy,
we just look at football very differently. So here's some Hembo stats about Brock Purdy last night. Lamar Jackson, obviously the MVP, Josh
Allen, Tua, combined
for a 43.8 QBR
versus Kansas City defense in the
playoffs. Brock's was a 69.8.
Okay, it's 26% better.
Great number. Yeah.
You know nothing about it.
I'll bitch out, Dan. Dan, you dirty dog.
What are you talking about?
It's like a yin-yang in number form.
Yeah, it's like, it's awesome.
They mirror each other.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Upside down.
Is that what you're talking about, Dan?
No, I was just talking about the difference between their performances and Brock's.
Okay.
You said cool.
That's on us then for automatically sending it to you.
Sorry, Dan.
You were talking about 69. Sorry, Dan. You were talking about 69.
Sorry, Dan.
Dan knows.
You salty dog.
Dan does not know.
Dan does not know.
I don't know.
I think Dan's playing possum here.
I think he is a bit of a dog.
Dan Orlovsky?
Yeah, you're right.
I didn't get enough sleep.
You're right.
Anyways, none of us did.
Those three had a 6.9.
There's no way that's the right number.
Hembo wouldn't have it, right? Those three,
Lamar, Josh, and Tua, had a 6.9
QBR versus Kansas City's pressure
in the playoffs. Brock was 74.1.
That's pretty good.
There's another cool number.
There's another cool number there, 74.1.
People want to kill Brock. They're going to kill Brock.
200 million people watched Brock lose
in the Super Bowl last night. But what
I saw to Brock last night was a dude that came
out firing on the biggest stage,
had a couple of dots, and he's still in his
only second year. But that
Niners team's fascinating, man. That's
heartbreak after heartbreak after heartbreak
after heartbreak after heartbreak
seemingly for that Niners team, Dan.
Yeah, it really really you know like
Kyle Shanahan who's one of the best coaches like the difference of five or six plays maybe in his
coaching career is the difference between we're talking about this guy as a hall of fame coach
you know and then oh my gosh he's third and four Dan third and four, Dan. Third and four. What do you mean?
Are you talking about the play last night, third and four?
Two minutes left or whatever it is.
Third and four. Don't be bad to down, right?
Yeah.
If they get that first down, we milk that thing until Jake Moody hits a game
winner and it's over.
Hey, it's over.
It was another one.
That's also a play.
Chris Jones.
Hey, D-Butt, talk to me about this, too.
I also sit here and this is what I said today.
Like you've got to credit Kansas City a little bit.
Yes.
I love the fact, D-Butt, tell me because why does Karloftis go outside
and McDuffie go inside?
So often we see those defensive linemen, right, they stem down
and McDuffie goes outside.
So, one.
And then, two, and we talked about this a little bit on live last week,
the fact that he jumps up and bats with his left arm
versus the righty quarterback.
I just think you've got to credit the other team a little bit as well.
You always coach that pressure on the quarterback.
You'll get a left up.
You always say, obviously, the righty,
but I think McDuffie did a great job pre-snap,
not really giving it away until the absolute last second.
Him in 27 came from opposite sides.
I think the O-line slid that other way.
So that kind of puts that left tackle on the island with Karloftis.
And then he's right in the C-gap, right in his face.
Third and four, you're going to expect some type of man-to-man.
So it's going to be a quick hitter.
But just a great job by Spaggs.
He's been doing that all, I mean, his whole career, honestly.
But to your point, you talk about four or five plays.
It's like, I mean, that is, that one, it wins you the Super Bowl. That it wins you the super bowl that one wins yeah they're very they're fine and then like sir go ahead
no i was gonna say their final play the one that another one that chris jones disrupted
you were talking about on the way was open in the flat yeah wide open yeah
wide open yeah man it's just like the third quarter too like we were talking about it the
third quarter you know again going into the game it was's paramount for San Francisco to be good on first downs offensively versus Kansas City's defense. man rush two man coverage double spy the next third down he goes three man rush they fake a
linebacker blitz they bring the other backer and they play uh like combo double the next third
down is two man that's the one that's almost picked off by mcduffie but if you go to first
down in the third quarter i think first downs san francisco I think, five plays on first down.
They got one total yard.
Yeah, in second half.
In the third quarter.
That's when that game started to spin.
Yes.
Yeah.
And that's, you know, everyone's sitting there going, run the football.
You know, Staggs was great when it came to some of those linebacker pressures,
you know, when you're trying to go run stunts.
So I just, you know, Kyle, you feel terrible for him because he's blown three double-digit Super Bowl leads
to the greatest of all time and the greatest of all time.
It feels like.
You talk about first down offense in the third quarter.
Chiefs had eight plays for 57 yards.
49ers had five plays for one yard.
I mean, they're just getting behind the sticks,
and then Spags can cook, and then you're in trouble,
and that third quarter was one and all flip.
So at halftime, the adjustments made by Spaggs,
the conversation on the offensive side,
hopefully Travis Kelsey wasn't punching Andy Reid grotesquely in the face.
It's like something happened from one team,
something didn't happen for the other.
And the one team's a dynasty, and the other team has now lost,
the head coach has now lost three Super Bowls in which he had to lead.
That is a bummer.
Go ahead, AJ.
Dan, when you look at the Chiefs' offense, I know Kelsey only had one catch at halftime.
What did they do to kind of scheme him open in the second half,
or what did Travis do individually to get himself open?
No, I mean, they did two things.
Number one, they started either motioning with him or motioning to him, to side you know really the start of the third quarter you know obviously the drake greenlaw
injury is huge and burks goes in good players do you know but what they started to do was motion
kelsey they would either start him on the left and motion him to the right and gain some advantage
leverage wise or they would get him in what they call like that in and out or sugar motion where
they would start him on one side he would walk to the center and then back and so they were really trying to confuse
you know San Francisco secondary and then the story of the game for me is how much San Francisco
secondary struggled in communication with those motions you know they there's multiple examples of
I think it's Burks and Logan Ryan.
Logan Ryan's been around forever.
They're trying to, like D-Button and AJ could talk to this.
They would be on one side of the ball.
They've been motion, and they're running Burks and Logan Ryan
and basically flipping from the linebacker spot all the way to the nickel
and the nickel spot all the way to where the linebacker was.
And they just took advantage of some of those situations. And at the end of the game that's the story of it is
and the third downs is as those guys getting out of position and then the game winner you know with
miko hardman again like you you show that little fake motion and if you watch everybody on san
francisco's defense look at their eyes like watch their eyes and watch the guy over the top of Kelsey.
He steps down and puts hands on Noah Gray and totally loses vision to the flat of Meeko Hardman.
And Patrick peeks inside, dumps it outside.
So really, AJ, the story is the motion in Kansas City's offense, you know,
really for the second year in a row and the lack of proper communication on the back end.
How about they trade for McColl in October?
You have some Jets fans obviously bringing up whenever O's, the mentalist,
goes to the Jets camp and he says, all right, think to yourself,
who are you playing in the Super Bowl?
And he says the 49ers.
That was when he was at the Jets training camp.
Now he catches the game-winning touchdown against the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Jets fans just can't win.
Nope.
Jets fans just can't win.
It's going to get shoved in their face until they inevitably get one maybe.
But, boy, what a come-up from McColl Hardman.
Rasheed Rice.
What?
I mean, MVS.
I saw him with some sick glasses on.
Afterwards, Pacheco living his best life.
Travis Kelsey, obviously, in an offensive line coming back.
They're nowhere near done, and Spaggs continues to cook.
Connor has a question for you as Ty takes a shit.
Yeah, Orlovsky bringing up Jets fans.
That's kind of how the Niners fans feel.
I mean, I saw a lot of dejected fans on the
X last night. When you
look at that team, I mean, there was one point
when they were introducing the starting lineups
and their skill positions come across the board
and all of them are all pro except for
Debo and people can make the argument that he's
damn near the best one and they're all all pro.
So if you're a Niners fan today
and you're looking at the season and looking
forward, where do they even get better?
How do you take a team like the Niners that essentially feels as though it is one of,
if not the most stacked lineups in all of football, and say, yeah, we can add pieces
here, here, and here to get better while still paying all the superstars that we have?
Yeah, there's obviously not massive holes on that football team.
I can make the case
that kansas city was better on both sides of the line of scrimmage last night you know i think one
of the big takeaways was how physical kansas city's defensive line and dominant at the line
they were in comparison to san francisco as that game went on and so again i don't think there's a
ton of holes outside of maybe you look to improve your offensive line play just a little bit.
Obviously, Trent is one of the, if not the best left tackles in all of football.
So, you know, I don't know if you like you sit there and go, we are this piece away.
You know, you're as talented as anybody in football on the perimeter in your defense.
While they didn't play up to their level this year, expectation wise, they were really good for the great majority of that game last night.
So it's a feeling that's got to be just dejected because so close again, and the quarterback play was even improved in comparison to the 2019 Super Bowl, and yet still wasn't enough.
Did you hear that, AJ?
Someone's throttling.
Dan, huh?
You're getting throttled over there.
What are you doing?
You're driving from New York
up to Connecticut?
Yeah.
Well, you got NFL Live
this afternoon?
NFL Live this afternoon,
yes, sir.
You were getting crushed
this morning by
Steven and Shannon.
What was that all about?
They're ridiculous, dude.
Those two are ridiculous.
The, like, hey, whatever you say, I'm going to agree with.
Happened a little bit today, happened a little bit this season.
They sit there and say, I'm just making fun of them.
They sit there and say, like, oh, you know, Brock Purdy,
I still got questions about him.
I was like, yo, so he lost on the last play of the game
to the best quarterback in the world,
and we're going to – we got questions about him.
I already see Axelrod typing up what you just said about Stephen
and Shannon cooking over there.
You gaslight awful announcing them by retweeting them all the time.
Big time.
You're so proud of them, but they're certainly going to
go after you right there.
Tone has a question for you, Dano.
Yeah, Dan, as someone
who hasn't watched the All-22 yet and wasn't
calling the game last night, Kittle
had a quiet night. Were they keeping
him in? Were the Chiefs just
have a good plan against him?
How come Kittle was so quiet last night?
Yeah, you have to give a ton of credit to Justin Reed.
He was tremendous in coverage.
I thought he was really physical at the line with him on multiple occasions.
Part of that is if you go back and we talk about Chris Jones
and him ruining a couple plays, those two or three plays that he ruins
or he makes Brock leave
the pocket and dump it off to Jennings one time and then you're gonna have big plays to George
Kittle and so it was a little bit of the perfect storm of again you got to tip your hat to Justin
Reid I thought his physicality was a big part of making sure to throw off some of the timing. And then in the huge opportunity to make some big-time plays,
Chris Jones ruins them, Karloftis ruins them.
So there was a lot of like a perfect storm situation when it comes to,
you know, credit to Kansas City,
but also some missed opportunity for San Francisco.
You say ruins like ruin?
Ruin. So like ruin? Ruin.
Like ruined.
R-U-I-N-E-D.
Ruined. And when was
the Super Bowl?
When was the Super Bowl?
Yesterday.
I love it, Dan.
Keep doing your thing. You called the Super
Bowl yesterday. Let's go, Dan.
I called two of them. I have no idea how.
I've called two of Patrick Williams' Super Bowls.
So I have no idea how.
Well, keep going.
Did you talk to Fowler during the commercial breaks about you two
or anything like that?
No, no, no, no.
No, we didn't.
Did you get to see any of the commercials?
You know, whenever you're calling the game, I guess not, right?
No, no.
I heard the Dunkin' Donuts one was good with, like,
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and J-Lo and Tom,
but I haven't heard anything about any of the other ones.
Fat Joe also.
Yeah, he was there.
Fat Joe was in there.
Orlovsky would have loved the E-Trade pickleball babies.
Yeah, you said Nick Foles is the greatest pickleball player of all time?
He's so good, dude.
Like, it's, first of all time? He's so good, dude.
First of all, I don't know if I haven't seen him in a long time.
He's enormous.
Like fat? Which part?
Jeez.
What do you mean, Dan?
You look worse.
You talking about his height?
No, he's just a big guy.
You talking about his drink?
His hog?
Yeah, drink.
Have you seen the drink?
Probably not.
Yeah, of course.
I didn't know they came in that size.
6'5".
What is that?
Is he working the kitchen?
He is 6'5", 230.
So he's like, I don't know.
And then he's so good at pickleball.
That group, by the way, that's together there,
Matt Barkley, Drew Bledsoe, Nick Foles, Dan Orlovsky,
and what's that other one?
I think that guy works for Franklin.
Oh, you don't even know who he is
I think his name is Joe Franklin
I could be dead wrong in that
But I believe his name is Joe Franklin
He's in my phone as Joe Franklin
So are you a good pickleball player or no?
Yeah I'm not
Really bad at anything
So yeah I'm good but I'm not really bad at anything. So yeah, I'm good, but I'm not great.
And Nick Foles just cooked you.
But Nick is, Nick is unbelievable. He's yeah, he is. He was hitting shots to the legs. Like
so me and Drew Bledsoe were the team that started versus Foles and Matt Barkley. Foles and Matt
Barkley blew it or flew in just to play pickleball. They flew in from Southern California just to play pickleball,
landed at like 10.
They were leaving at 4.
It was 20 to nothing.
And they were like, hey, why don't we change these teams up?
And what did you guys say?
Yeah.
Matt Barkley also a player, huh?
Please.
Yeah, he's good.
I mean, he's really good, but he's not as good as Nick.
And this was for Franklin?
Yes, sir.
How many appearances?
Did you go to any of the events? We went to
Slapfest on Friday.
That was awesome.
Is that the Dana White thing?
Yeah. I was six feet
away from a lady just losing her soul
from one swing of a hand.
It was so loud.
The smack was so
loud. It's crazy. Travis Scott
was two doors down. All I kept saying to him was, thanks for the shoes, man.
We need more of those.
He's fantastic.
That wasn't clubbing, by the way.
No, it wasn't.
The Nevada Gaming Commission had to come over and talk to Dana
because a lot of people were like, what are we talking about?
What's going on?
Clear clubbing.
It's club.
Hey, well, she twisted her hand.
I heard the Nevada Gaming Commission say, did you go to any of the events?
What other events did you go to?
I heard the Nevada Gaming Commission say, did you go to any of the events?
What other events did you go to?
No, I had a couple of appearances over at the center where everything was kind of set up. But the only really, I guess, event I went to was I went to the GQ party on Friday night.
Wow.
What?
Nomad Hotel.
Holy shit.
That's so cool.
Who was there?
Everybody. It was sweet, dude.
It was in a library there. I think
Stefan Diggs
hosted it at some point.
I want to say something, but it was
a cool spot. Roquan was there.
CJ was
there.
What'd you wear?
I wore khakis. I had a sweater and a t-shirt. What'd you wear? What'd you wear?
I wore khakis.
Boo! I wore a sweater and a t-shirt.
To a GQ party, you wore khakis?
We're proud of you.
Should've wore a shin guard.
Even I think that's dope.
Honestly, dude, I don't have any clothes left.
We've been on the road for like two weeks.
You're getting what you get, dude.
You should've wore one of these.
It's a shin guard.
That's fashion.
You walk in there with one shin guard on, you might win the award.
I assume they had an award.
I assume they had an award.
I honestly didn't stay late, dude.
I was tired to go to bed.
So boring.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we got to see the main event of Slapfest.
That was cool.
No love, Mooney.
Hey, I just want to make sure I put this out there.
I need some help to bring my boys to WrestleMania.
I can count on you.
I'll put you on television for it.
Thank you.
Are you kidding me?
Are you joking?
Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Orlovsky.
I'm not clapping.
No.
I'm going to SeatGeek.
What do you mean?
SeatGeek.
SeatGeek.
SeatGeek.
You got tickets for everything.
They were giving $500 off to the big game.
That was ridiculous.
I don't think we can just blow past that.
That's not a bad play.
That's smart.
That's not a bad play.
That's like what Carrot Top did.
Did you see what Carrot Top did?
Carrot Top did a full week of basically promotion.
Las Vegas legend doesn't have a Super Bowl ticket.
He ended up in a suite.
He did.
He ended up in a suite for that thing.
With Guy Fieri.
Wayne Newton.
Jimmy Kimmel.
I think I saw Penn and Teller in there.
The jocked guy from Imagine Dragons.
Mark Davis.
Vegas suite.
The Vegas suite was sweet.
It was.
There was a lot of suites.
A lot of suites.
Biebs had one.
No Chris Angel.
The Dashians had one.
No, Chris was in there, I thought.
He was dangling.
Yeah, whole game. He was actually holding the Skycam. Yep No Chris Angel? The Dashians had one. No, Chris was in there, I thought. He was dangling. Yeah, whole game.
He was actually holding the Skycam.
Chris Angel was holding the Skycam the whole time. They had him set up on the jib and he
was flying. I don't think CBS gave
enough air time to the flyover.
Just saying it. I just want to skip that off my chest.
It was beautiful. It was all
women. I wouldn't have known.
That was the first ever, I think,
all-woman flyover to celebrate the history of female aviators, I believe, is what I read online.
That's cool.
I like it.
Hey, shout out.
Shout out.
Thank you.
Now, granted, whenever you're up there dogfighting, it doesn't matter the sex of the person that is flying the plane, okay?
You're either going to die or you're not.
Yeah.
That's how it goes, so we appreciate anybody that signs up for it.
But I think that was the first all-female. Yeah, all that matters is if you've got the American flag on your die or not. Yeah. That's how it goes. So we appreciate anybody that signs up for it. But I think that was the first all-female.
Yeah, all that matters is if you've got the American flag on your wing or not.
Are you flying an F-22 Raptor?
What was that last night?
It wasn't an F-22 Raptor.
Planes are outdated.
I'm sure you know what that plane was.
Last night?
Yeah.
I don't know exactly.
Well, I can't because it was half a second.
It was quick.
It was quick.
It was quick.
They're pretty fast.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, I thought Reba killed it.
I thought Posty killed it.
Agreed.
Absolutely.
I thought the first, I didn't know.
Oh, yeah.
Audra.
She killed it.
I know who you're talking about.
Everybody did great.
I literally thought everything was great.
Oh, yeah.
I agree.
I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the whole night.
Start to finish.
Great game, too.
It was a success. It was. Way to go, Super Bowl. Super Bowl. whole night. Start to finish. Great game, too. It was a success.
It was.
Way to go, Super Bowl.
Super Bowl.
Super Bowl.
Way to go.
And obviously, we're shilling for that because CBS had the Super Bowl and we're on ESPN.
Yeah.
So we are just shilling for that because people are telling us to think that.
Right.
Corporate.
Yeah, we're a bunch of...
That's how it works.
Obviously, that's how it goes, this whole thing.
You know, AJ?
Usher killed it.
Honestly, I know people, some people that are younger,
they may not know as much, but Usher has a bunch of hits.
And he's roller skating.
He's choreographing.
He's doing choreographed dances with people with roller skates.
Bro, he's still got WD-40 knees.
He was still doing that entire thing.
They're saying he's only 44, that guy.
How's that happen?
I don't know how that happens.
I don't either.
Let's see.
What else do we like?
Pretty much everything.
Yeah.
Congratulations on a great Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Going to have to figure out the playing situation for the next time they host it.
I assume somebody will.
We'll be back tomorrow with a massive one.
Then Wednesday, Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA.
Wow.
Whoa.
Patrick Mahomes might be on tomorrow.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice that might change their life. We'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye!
Yeah, Ray on screws.
So, is he at Disneyland
right now, though? Isn't that parade like now?
He yelled it.
I read something where they said
because the time changed and everything
it's like this morning or today sometime.
I appreciated that he had his kids up there.
Yeah, it was cool. They were just hanging out afterwards.
After Jim Nantz sent it back to JB and seemingly clearing out,
him and his kids were just kind of hanging out on the stage with confetti falling.
And I think I saw a rookie up there chit-chatting with her.
It might have been, I forget.
Chris Jones was up there or somebody else.
There's always that moment where it's like, all right, what do we do now?
Yeah.
And Patrick's just like, I think we're just hanging out.
I think we're just having a good old time.
Then he stopped by all the different sets,
talked their shit, said whatever they wanted,
going to the Raiders locker room,
popped bottles and smoked cigar in the Raiders locker room,
and then go out in the Raiders city to all the clubs
and turn up everywhere.
I mean, what a night.
What a night for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mahomes did the cavalcade on the parade route to It's a Small World
starting at 2 p.m. Pacific, which is 11 a.m. Eastern today.
So he's three hours into his Disneyland day.
Opposite there.
2 p.m. Pacific is 5 p.m. Eastern.
You know what I meant.
Nope.
I still do not know if the parade's already happened or if it is yet.
2 p.m. Pacific. 2 p.m. Pacific.
5 p.m. Eastern.
Has not happened.
Has not happened yet.
Is he going to Disneyland potentially because they're over there?
I would assume so.
Instead of Disney World.
Yeah, that would make more sense.
Got it.
Did you see the photo of his son looking at him after they won?
No.
There is a hysterical photo.
If you just search Patrick Mahomes' son looking at him, and he's like side-eyeing him.
It is pretty awesome just to see the whole entire family.
Saw Patrick Mahomes Sr. out and about.
Really?
It's good.
Oh, just walking around.
Well, of course.
Okay.
I put him on one of them scooters.
He didn't go anywhere.
Oh, okay.
Well, you know, they're bros.
Those have wheels, too.
Huh?
Smoking on their purdy pet.
I believe so.
Well, it's not the smoking that's the issue.
No.
Yeah.
Is what the cops say.
You see?
It's the two tall boys.
And then?
Yeah, and then, you know, getting behind the wheel.
And then?
And then going 85 in a 25.
And then?
None of this is funny.
It's not.
Nope.
And we don't know if he's going 85.
He was going fast, so. Get him a driver. Please. Can we don't know if he's going 85. He was going fast, though.
Get him a driver.
Please.
Can we get this guy a driver?
Please.
Because when I see him on TV, I'm like, I love that guy.
Yeah.
I would like him to stop making dumb decisions.
Just have somebody around you.
It's 2024.
He can't be driving drunk.
No.
No.
Can't be doing it, AJ.
But with that being said, love how supportive he is of his kid.
Absolutely.
Him and his kid are tight, too.
Very much.
You watch that quarterback talk. I mean, Pat,
junior and senior
are very, very close.
And it's like, we're in the middle of a glorious run right now.
Let's make sure we're there to see it all.
Let's make sure we're there to see it all.
Brittany Mahomes, she's in Sports Illustrated.
Swim suit mall. She would have
led Jackson into her section at that
little party. And her shrug.
Oh my. It was hilarious.
That was a baby-faced turn. It was.
Oh, hell yeah. I'm all the way
back. Did you see that, AJ?
Yeah, I did see that. That was a baby-faced turn
for Brene Holmes. Sweet.
Gotta like a Who Gives a Shit. I'm having a good time.
Fuck that guy.
We're all on the same page in here, right?
Okay, cool. We're celebrating my
Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Model.
Sweet.
Yeah, would I have got this if I wasn't Patrick Mahomes' husband or wife?
Probably not.
But who cares?
I am.
I am in there.
This is how this is going to go.
Not enough room.
And Jackson Mahomes, shut up.
We're maxed out in here.
I'm sorry.
That's a good guy.
He's overcrowded.

I love AJ. Looks at a friend and goes,
you know that guy? AJ,
before we get to a break and then have the greatest
third hour in the history of third hours.
Went for five hours on Friday. You missed two of them.
Man, I know you guys kept going
forever. I was in the air. No question.
I saw Lambeau,
Cake Boss. I got to speak with uh cake boss

Oh, you bring a cake?
Oh, I need to bring a cake.
Oh, that's a tie.
It was out of a movie that was happening back there.
It was a full dream come true.
But before we get to the final break here,
before we get to the final hour,
which might not be a full hour,
we were on hard.
I think people understand.
Hard.
Why do I spice throw up as devil horns?
I don't know.
Seriously.
AJ, your thoughts?
What does it mean?
What does it mean that she's doing?
I think she's saying NWO.
I think she's saying the bloodline is the new NWO.
What did she do?
Can you do it?
Can you recreate it?
No.
No.
That's right there.
She's going, oh, I'm dancing.
Just part of a little dance, right?
Flexing a chain.
She's trying to recruit.
Because it's taking attention away from the thing that I would like to see.
Taylor Swift chugging her booze and slamming her cup down.
I don't like that there's any distraction in that video.
Okay, shout to Ice Spice.
Get out of your suit, bull.
Yeah.
And I think Ice Spice's little brother is like a great football quarterback.
Love everything about him.
We did not know that Taylor Swift.
She had a commercial last night, too.
Congratulations. Mr. Spice did. Well, we don't need to. We did not know that Taylor Swift. He had a commercial last night, too. Congratulations.
Mr. Spice did.
Well, we don't need to be distraction from what we see Taylor Swift.
The story is Taylor Swift.
Hi-ya.
Hi-ya.
Let's get to a break.
It's a bummer.
It is a bummer.
I'm bummed out about it.
I'm bummed out.
I was even more bummed out when I saw she was part of it.
God bless everybody here.
Yeah, God bless.
Amen.
God bless.
We love the devil.
God bless.
Shane Gillis is up there. Shane Gillis was in
the suite with Post Malone and the
Genie. Smart.
When's he doing SNL? Two weeks?
24th. Yeah, two weeks.
Gonna be
off. If he makes it. See if it happens.
I've seen a lot of old clips.
They're trying to stop it, aren't they?
Yeah, it should be an interesting monologue, I would imagine.
Who's that?
If he goes through with it.
Huh?
Who's that?
You know who they are.
You know, yeah.
We don't have to.
If you have to say who they are, you'll never know.
I'm assuming both sides, actually.
Yeah.
I'm assuming both sides are trying to knock him off.
Wait when that happens.
Yeah, we've been there.
Been there, Shano.
Mm-hmm.
Not Saturday Night Live level.
It's right here in the middle.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
It's open on Monday.
That's because you put down a devil.
Yeah.
In this house of God.
In this house of God.
Amen.
Amen. Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Shout out to the football guts.
Alright, we'll be back on the other side with a great hour. Great hour. Not going to want
to miss this. No.
Right, AJ? Great tease.

This wasted management thing.
Yeah.
Buddy.
It's out of control.
I know some people that were out there for it.
They said it was a madhouse.
Okay, so we've got to talk about that.
We've got to talk about Tua donning a guitar next to Hootie.
Sure.
Sweet.
Tom Brady.
I guess he's going to be back in the NFL in a big way.
Kaitlin Clark, huh?
Yeah.
Press a piss at breaking.
A massive record.
Thought it was happening the other night.
She wanted to break it.
No points in the fourth quarter.
She wanted to break it. I watched it.
She wanted to break it. She basically just said,
we can lose tonight. That's fine.
How many games have they lost this year? Three.
Yes. Everybody else has lost
more?
They'll be probably one seed
in the tournament.
They were ranked two. Yeah, I think South Carolina
is still one. They've lost once.
South Carolina won in LSU
that game we watched a couple weeks ago.
South Carolina's a real deal. Dogs.
Staley is awesome.
Caitlin Clark, though, is the Caitlin Clark show.
People are paying like $750,000
to go watch her play.
What is it? The game on
the 15th.
Women's college basketball.
$750,000? More.
They're paying like $1,500 to go watch her play.
The 15th, they play
at home, and I think tickets are
like the lowest tickets, like $600.
I'm almost positive that's the
most expensive ticket in the history of
Carver Hawkins. Alright, let's get to a break.
We've got a lot to talk about on the other side.
And thrusting into the greatest Monday night of all time.
Hell yeah.
Monday Raw tonight.
Here we go.
Live from Lexington, Kentucky.
Oh, boy.
That press conference was a real deal last night.
Yes, it was.
What's the follow-up going to be, AJ?
Well, on Friday on SmackDown, Triple H seemed to be taking some shots at The Rock.
What?
He knows better than to do that.
He was talking some real shit.
Uh-oh.
A lot of people are wondering what The Rock said on the way out.
He said, tell Kelly to talk about my family one more time.
I'll smack the fucking teeth out of his mouth.
Yeah.
It's like, whoa.
Rock.
Scary.
Rocky.
Is Triple H going to get back in the race?
I felt the tension.
So everybody's wondering.
I would love to see that.
There'll probably be some answers tonight.
With X-Pac, Road Dogg, Jesse James.
Kentucky.
I don't know if Road Dogg's going to get back in.
I haven't seen Road Dogg.
I don't know if he's in ring shape right now.
Sure.
But mentally, you put him on a microphone, he'll be able to still do everything.
Exactly.
Bring back the whole DX.
Shawn Michaels, you know, he'll be able to do it until the day he dies.
Badass Billy Gunn's in better shape than he's ever been in his entire life yeah now we're talking new age where's happy corbin at stone cold had a commercial it

Exactly.
And Triple H.
Could you imagine Stone Cold, though?
Oh, my God.
Oh, man.
Sick.
I watched a clip the other day.
He stunned.
I think he came out for every match.
His music played in every match, and he came out and stunned someone for every match and then ran back in.
It was like 12 to 13.
The best ones is when he comes walking out.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Yes.
He can do that forever.
Forever.
Forever. Yeah.
Forever.
Forever.
It's the greatest.
Greatest of all time.
Swack.
All right, let's get to a break.
Hour three on the other side.
Be a friend, tell a friend something nice for Steve.
For Steve. For Steve.
Yes.
Football.
We have to find something new to say.
That's bullshit season.
Fun to do.
We have to say bullshit?
No, I don't think that's a good way.
We did sports.
Yeah, I think sports is probably.
Yeah, sports is what we do.
With some mix in there every once in a while.
Yeah, because if it's a big basketball day.
Yeah.
Finals.
March Madness.
Every once in a while we were saying mana.
That was awesome.
We should test the bloodlines.
Brother, I did respect when you said mana.
On Mondays we could do raw.
That's AJ Hawk right there.
Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler is here.
Thank you, brother.
Brother, I thank you. Thank you, brother. Brother, I thank you.
Thank you, brother.
Oh, we got to wash our hands.
I love it.
You saw the lady that was selected to do the signing for Post Malone.
She said, oh, she gave it back and then did one of these.
I'm like, yep, that's what we did.
She said, I love you.
I didn't see the dude until halfway through his performance.
Yeah, he gave a love.
He was certainly.
He had it on his shirt.
Doing that shit.
Yeah, it was on his shirt.
I love that.
Signers are awesome.
I'm very surprised.
As somebody who's only done like, I think I have the exact number.
It's either 17 or 27.
I don't remember.
Shows.
Stand-up shows. One-man shows, live shows, whatever the case is.
You will not see one of our shows ever without a signer,
even if there's nobody deaf in the crowd.
Don't matter.
Them signing or talking, trying to keep up with whatever we're saying,
is fucking top-notch entertainment.
Top-notch entertainment.
I don't know how other comedians haven't just, like, done that and seen that.
You've seen rappers, I think, have them on the side,
and they start seeing it, and they're like, damn, okay,
really, really feeling it over there.
For us, with our words, boy, you just drop a couple things in there, and all of a sudden you got, you know, stuff that is fantastic and adds to the show.
We had a 75-year-old lady the first time we had to do it.
And I was forced to have a signer because there was a deaf person coming to the show.
So due to regulations or whatever it is, forced to pay sign language lady.
I forget the amount.
She's making like $40 an hour or like $50 an hour.
I forget what it is.
It's like a pretty good rate.
Pretty good.
I meet lady beforehand.
She asked me for script. Do you have script for this thing? I say, no, I, we,
we don't have a script. I don't have a script. Do you have any, uh, like I have kind of an idea which way we're going to head, but it's not until we get out there where we really find out where
we're headed. She's like, all right, well, don't be scared of anything. I've watched all your
videos. I've heard you speak. I can't wait to get out there
And sign for you or whatever
I'm like okay because I'm thinking
We're not maybe the right pairing
She's like no
And then her husband was like she's awesome
And she did she fucking murdered it out there
So watching them get their shine on the Super Bowl
I appreciate it
Because it is a show AJ
That's a full fucking show out there
Absolutely I mean I took sign language in college A big. Because it is a show, AJ. That's a full fucking show out there. Absolutely. I mean, I took
sign language in college. A big part of it is your facial
expressions. That's a huge part of them
communicating. And some of it is very elementary
signs. Did you still sign it?
That I did not fully...
You know? I bet you
could do blowjob if you had to. You could figure out
blowjob. Pretty simple.
I have no idea. We'd have to ask
probably Dan now. I don't know anything about... Try.
Dan Rolofsky bringing up 69 i think he started laughing talking about stand up 69 or
something yeah because somebody said like oh this guy's being a blow job and then as soon as it was
said i was like oh let's let's try this out and the 75 year old lady having to sign that she did
and it is like oh that's a very elementary sign right there. I did not figure that out. Yeah, we could have had a full conversation.
I've got some bad news.
What?
Those are probably going to be all AI shortly.
Humans will be out of a job,
and the machines will be doing the sideline translation.
Mute his mic.
How?
I saw Beyonce AI last night.
That didn't even break the internet.
I heard performance in space didn't even break it.
The AI looked just like her, too.
I did that co-pilot commercial.
I thought to myself.
Good name.
Yeah.
I am going to download that.
I am.
Yeah.
Do you see the things ahead I'm asking?
Oh, yeah.
They're like high school kids going, what is my Trig homework's answer?
And it was just like, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Did you see that commercial last night?
It was Microsoft, I think.
No, I missed that.
I missed it.
I would probably download that right away.
I did, actually.
I have not dove in yet.
I do not know it, but I was thinking to myself,
so I can just ask, hey, if I'm a sports show,
what should I talk about today?
And it just seemed, it wrote a paper for somebody
in the commercial last night.
A full-on thesis was written by this thing.
My cousin is an English teacher, and she said the hardest part is now
there's AI where you submit like four or five papers that you actually wrote,
so then it learns how you write, and then it writes papers for you
because the teachers can tell if you just say,
hey, AI, write this paper for you.
But if you submit like four or five of your own,
and then it learns how you write, then you're good to go.
Where's she an English teacher? Plum in pittsburgh no not plum that is
diabolical yeah schools are so screwed so so fucked that commercial is that's all i saw the whole time
yeah like so school what's the just like kind of daycare i mean is that kind of what it is it's
kind of us that might be screwed though because, because those could be, who knows? What are they going to say to Mike?
Lawyers, doctors.
Beep, boop, beep, boop.
True.
Pilots.
Those are the schools that will stay, right?
Just because all the regular schools, if you will.
Yeah, the pilots, we got to make sure that they're not AI in their way.
No, we don't.
Pilots, doctors.
Knowing AI is a skill, though.
So this might be good for the kids.
I mean, if they're going to teach AI how to
properly use AI to write your papers for.
Yeah, it's like us with calculators.
Why do we have to learn how to do this? We have calculators.
We can just do it right here. Agreed.
Yeah, but the AI is like, the AI is talked to.
Can a calculator fly a plane
and then decide halfway through the flight,
oh, it's best for these people to die and run you
into a mountain? Zeke just asked the co-pilot,
the Pat McAfee,
what should the Pat McAfee show talk about?
The Pat McAfee show hosted by Charismatic.
All right.
Hey, co-pilot.
There you go.
All right.
That could have been anything.
Yeah.
Douchey, asshole, you know, obnoxious.
There's so many of those things that I've read about me.
Charismatic.
This guy's got moxie, co-pilot said.
Covers a wide range of sports and entertainment topics. Here are some areas they
often delve into. Sports commentary.
Hockey talk is number two. Boom.
Hell yeah.
If you're a hockey enthusiast,
you're in luck. The segment
That's Hockey Talk, presented by the Pat Matthews Show,
2.0. This sounds like Nick
kind of cooked this one up. Guest interviews,
current events,
comedy and entertainment.
Expect humor.
Witty banter.
Wow.
Witty?
Because we've always been told we're elementary-level hack obnoxious bros.
Very much so.
Copilot says witty banter.
Witty banter.
Okay, can we try a different show
to see what they say about someone else's show?
Oh, good idea.
I don't think we should.
That's a great idea.
I don't want to hear...
I know, but I feel like we should...
I don't want us alley-oop Copilot
to say anything about anybody else.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying anything like that.
I'm saying, like, first take.
Yeah, there's no way it's negative.
AI is not negative towards the show.
No.
Yeah, it won't be curtailed.
Well, we'll see how long Copilot puts up with our shit
before it turns on us.
Yeah, true.
Let's make sure we check in on Copilot in about a month or so.
I mean, just listen to us break down what it produced there.
Hey, Copilot, that commercial also was one that I remember from last night.
So Budweiser with the Clydesdales, the dog and the booze.
Bingo.
That seems like an easy, and it was.
They get a good song on it.
Dunk Kings.
Yep.
Dunk Kings was awesome.
Jesus spent 14 mil yeah we saw that
that whole one i'm sitting there watching like what is this what is okay who's this for what
are we promoting what is it like oh this is what what church is that what organization has that
cash well so there we don't know it's he gets jesus there's a website right yeah he gets us.com
and it might be that colorado preacher trying to clean his money chance you know what i mean could be because he said yeah they caught us with three million bucks
that's all we have buy these fucking super bowl ads as fast as possible what are they gonna do
come after us for sharing the word of god 14 million is a lot from jesus but we're happy for
them they're all over every stadium all over all over every stadium. All over every stadium, too. We go to that Colts game.
HeGetsUs.com is literally
everywhere in there. So they've been doing this
kind of all year. I think they've been commercials
in a lot of these games. I'd like to see what their budget
is. That's not the one that you check if you're
going to heaven or hell or not.
Was that a commercial last night?
No, that was not. They do not have that budget.
Pfizer. Pfizer had a commercial.
Oh yeah, stopping cancer. Yeah, yeah. Stopping cancer.
Yeah, stopping cancer with Bohemian Rhapsody.
With kid cancer.
Yeah, exactly.
So that felt like quite a...
With science.
No, yeah.
They slid in.
Yeah, they did it right.
How about that, AJ?
Play a good song.
How about that, AJ?
Amazing.
Yeah, they got some extra cash they can throw around, so they can kind of make what they
want.
Some.
Them baby-facing at the end.
Let's stop kid cancer. Okay. Okay. That baby-facing at the end. Let's stop
kid cancer.
That's what Pfizer's all about.
AJ's voting independent now
after last night.
Well, yeah, RFK.
He said he didn't even know about it.
He said he didn't know about it. I just saw him tweet or something.
Yeah, Aaron funded it. I bet he had no idea.
Aaron went down there to Austin.
Did the Joe Rogan podcast.
Hey, Joe, you and me, half 50-50?
What do you say?
That could have happened.
Let's edit it.
What do we want it to be like?
Oh, like it's 1970 again.
Back in the day.
That's what we want it to be like.
Perfect.
JFK.
All right.
So we remember.
Look at us.
We're kind of rolling through them.
Maybe the commercials did do a good job.
What was Mountain Dew?
Bee Frisky?
Baja Blast.
Baja Blast. Yeah, I had the dragons. Yeah. What was Mountain Dew? Bee Frisky? Baja Blast.
Baja Blast. Yeah, I had the dragons.
What's her name?
The actress girl?
Aubrey Plaza.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's a great actress.
She was good.
Oh, and then old buddy showed up at the end.
Ron Swartz.
Nick Offern.
They were co-workers in Parks and Rec.
And they laughed?
Yep.
D-Bot, any commercials that we have missed here?
No, I can't think of one.
Snapchat said get rid of social media.
I thought Snapchat was social media
I appreciate Snapchat saying too much of us
I agreed
Take a break
No Coke or Doritos
Ken Jeong was on Popeyes
They got wings now
That was good
Doritos, what's her name
Who played Wednesday Adams
Wasn't she and her grandmas were fighting over Dynamita
Oh yeah, you're right.
Dieta? I missed that one.
Yeah, Dieta.
Diet.
Did you guys like the
Neva? Get to the choppa?
I did like the Agent Statefathers full movie, I guess.
Was Travolta back
with the Scrubs guys?
No, Arnold Schwarzenegger was.
Momoa.
Momoa, yeah,zenegger was the one. Momoa. Momoa.
Yeah, yeah.
Planet of the Apes.
He was singing.
Planet of the Apes?
I didn't see that.
Oh, yeah, new trailer for it.
Movie trailer.
Hey, why didn't Glenn tell us about Twister 2 coming out?
Heaping the league.
That's what I thought, too.
I'm like, at what point when we were talking to you,
for what, an hour and a half?
At least.
He did.
They were on strike.
He told us?
He told us about Twister?
Really?
Are you sure?
On the sideline?
No, it wasn't on the sideline.
Oh, you're right. We did talk about Twister. Oh, it was in the backstage of that Bama thing.
Under that guy's little...
He said, hey, we're not allowed to talk. You're right, he did.
It was during the strike, but he was like,
no, Twister's is going to be
fucking awesome. You're right.
He did. I don't remember that.
He gets pats. But I am happy
that we did find out.
We did talk about it. My brain did not remember
that while I was watching that trailer last night.
I'm like, fucking hangman. I thought we were tight.
You're bringing back something from our childhood? Yeah.
Our childhood? Twisters.
He's the only man for a job.
I said, is this the thing you shot in Australia?
And my wife was like, no, that was a rom-com
where he allegedly started
him and the lady.
So he's got another movie coming. America's Sweetheart,
Sydney's Sweetheart. That is already out. What's that one called?
Anyone But You,
I think. How is it? Good? Rave reviews?
I haven't seen it yet. I'm going to buy it on Apple here
soon. I heard it's great. And Sydney
Sweeney and him are just
the it couple outside of Travis and Taylor, obviously.
What about Mai Tai and Kelly?
Well, they've been around.
They're married.
They've been around.
You see how cool Miles looked up there with his long drink hat?
He looks so cool.
Yeah, he's everywhere.
I mean, Miles is on top of the world.
When's his next movie coming out?
It feels like everybody fucking lies to us.
We don't know.
Who knows?
We're not actual journalists, I guess guess because we don't find out anything for
anybody how about schaefter being like i knew grub was headed to well why don't you tell us
he said he didn't ask it's like what do we got to fucking say yeah ask everything yeah well how
are we what's the deal aj how come nobody just lets us do our journalism or helps us do our
journalism i mean shifty seems like he's trying to really throw a wrench in the whole system but
the rex ryan situation is still very confusing to me.
Is Zimmer hired yet or not?
It's currently cooking.
Well, it feels like Jerry Jones is potentially utilizing Rex Ryan to Zimmer,
saying, do we really want to play this game?
Is it a two-year deal, three-year deal, which is what happened with Cliff Kingsbury
out at the Raiders, if you do recall, because he was the Raiders' OC.
No, he's the Commander's Offense Coordinator. Well, why isn't he the Raiders OC. No, he's the commander's offensive coordinator.
Well, why isn't he the Raiders OC?
This thing was already reported.
Well, he wanted a standard three-year assistant coaching deal.
The Raiders only wanted to give him a two-year deal.
So there's technicalities, I guess, that kind of pop up in the negotiations,
especially whenever it comes to guaranteed money for these assistant coaches,
which is at an all-time high around the NFL.
So I don't know if Jerry tried to sneak something in and Zimmer
was like, this ain't how it's been happening for 50 years.
I've been in the NFL for 50 years.
This isn't how it's going. And is he
using Rex as a leverage point
against Zimmer? Like, hey, did you
hear what Rex just said on the Super Bowl kickoff show?
He would only come for certain
jobs. This is one of them,
because he could win a Super Bowl. And also,
here's exactly what he would take.
It's cooking
on the internet right now, though.
Chef D, by the way, thank you for giving us that story.
It's cooking loudly.
I would assume so because Zimmer
wasn't up for any other
D.C. jobs. McCarthy's only got one
year left, so why would you give him a three
year deal if McCarthy gets fired after
this year? You hire a new head coach,
and he decides to bring in a whole new staff,
then you're just paying Zimmer for an
additional two years when
you know, like if
they give him a one year deal and they do good
and... So Zimmer doesn't want a one year deal?
We are all, we're guessing.
If Zimmer's the guy they
want, one, two, three,
four million dollars shouldn't hold that up, one, two, three, four million dollars
shouldn't hold that up, I would imagine.
Well, with Cliff and the Raiders.
Especially not with Jerry.
Yeah, I guess.
I'm just thinking Jerry, and Jerry's thinking like, hey,
we need to win this thing now.
So if he feels like – I think he loves Rex that much where he's like,
he might be torn a little bit.
Oh, is that right?
Zimmer says, hey, is there any way we could change?
Maybe I get a nameplate on like a parking spot.
Oh, is that right?
That's all I need to hear. Rex, you need a
fucking parking spot too? No.
That's what I thought. I don't know what to
do. Boys, hang on.
Because it sounded like Schefter said Jerry
was the one that texted Rex.
15 minutes before Schefter did
that entire thing. So Jerry pretty
hands on here. Maybe he legitimately does not know what he wants to do.
There's a chance that that is currently taking place.
I know he does have history way back with Zimmer,
but I do love how Rex is kind of handling it, though.
I'm not so sure Zimmer's got that.
And, you know, kind of playing it close to the vest, a little old school.
I like that.
Schefter says, there's meetings.
We say nobody's getting blindsided by any information.
And then as soon as Schefter gets done complimenting Rex, he goes, I don't know.
Schefter has a fucking clue.
But I don't know, Schefter.
See this?
What is your story?
This is JJ.
You see JJ on my phone?
You can guess what that stands for.
It's not Justin James Watt with the new haircut.
No, no.
This is Jerry.
He said Zimmer may be holed up.
Oh, maybe.
It's Jerry and AI Jerry going back and forth.
Could be.
AI Jerry.
I assume real Jerry does probably walk down when no one's there to AI Jerry.
Can you ask Copilot if Jerry Jones should hire Mike Zimmer or Rex Ryan as his defensive coordinator?
Oh, yeah.
This would be good.
Come on, Copilot.
You fucking told me you could figure out Trigg.
Yeah.
So you can certainly figure out this whole thing.
And to your point, Zimmer was D.C., I think, 2000, 2006?
Yes.
For the Dallas Cowboys.
Then he obviously goes to the Bengals and then Vikings.
And he's done.
And now he's back.
Need Rex.
Is that okay?
Need Rex.
Looked like it was okay from the videos that I seen, but I don't know.
AJ, you played for Zim?
I did not.
He left since he, I don't know what year, but shortly before I got there.
To go to Minnesota?
Yeah, to be the head coach of Minnesota.
So those guys loved him.
All the dudes I played with on defense, they all played for him.
Yeah, they said he is no nonsense.
Yeah, gets it done.
Copilot has answered the question, should Jerry Jones hire
Rex Ryan or Mike Zimmer?
Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of Dallas Cowboys,
has made his decision regarding the teams in the quarter.
He's chosen Mike Zimmer over Rex Ryan for the role.
We don't know that.
But here are some articles about Jerry Jones hiring Rex Ryan
or Mike Zimmer.
Oh, so Copilot doesn't know.
Wait a second.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. about Jerry Jones hiring Rex Ryan or Mike Zimmer. Oh, so Copilot doesn't know. Wait a second. Copilot needs to reach out to Rex Ryan maybe to see if it shits straight or not.
Perhaps even the Super Bowl.
Pop up in his Gmail.
While Rex Ryan was also considered as a candidate, the Cowboys ultimately opted for Zimmer.
Fans are celebrating this decision, hoping it will lead the team to success.
Perhaps even Super Bowl. Emoji, emoji, emoji.
Nice. Way to be human at the end,
Coach. Way to be human at the end.
How does Zimmer feel, though? If Zimmer ends up getting that gig, how does he feel now throughout
this whole process? Zimmer and Rex Ryan
have been hunting the same jobs
for 60 years. So, there you go.
They're okay. I assume
they're going to be okay, regardless of who gets the gig.
Hassan Reddick has received permission
to seek a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles.
I don't know how many years he's got left
on his contract,
but I do know he's a game wrecker.
Why does he want to get out of there?
What the hell is going on in Philadelphia, AJ?
Something's happening there behind the scenes
that we just don't know.
We talk about that whole buzzword culture
all the time.
The culture in Philly feels weird right now.
I don't know what it's going to be next year.
Very weird, and obviously they're changing things up.
They've got a new OC, a new DC.
Sirianni's still there.
Big Dom is on the field protecting Andy Reid.
Obviously all hands on deck whenever it comes to the NFL.
Why would you want to get out of Philly?
Does he think they're going to pay him there?
Does he think they stink? They missed a window? What would you think? I would assume money. How old did Philly? Doesn't think they're going to pay him there? Does he think they stink?
They missed a window?
What would you think?
I would assume money.
How old did he say, 29?
29 years old.
He's got one year left.
Yeah, back-to-back, double-digit season.
Maybe he had a conversation.
They don't want to ream up once they hit the market.
Because you know once you hit 30, outside of a quarterback,
once you hit 30, you're a senior citizen in the NFL's eyes.
So he probably just wanted to get his money.
Welcome to Indianapolis, Hassan.
There you go, Hassan.
Great to have you.
Going to love it back with Steichen.
We could use him.
Yeah.
For sure.
Yeah, bingo.
We certainly could.
And Steichen probably knows him.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Brett Steichen was over there.
Let's go ahead and get him on the team.
Let's go ahead and pay Michael Pittman Jr.
Well, you're going to have money to pay Hassan Reddick because you won't pay Pittman.
No, we are.
We're paying him.
And then we're getting Brandon Ay No, we're paying him.
And then we're getting Brandon Ayuk.
We're paying him.
AR's coming back healthy.
And all of a sudden, look out, Stroud House.
There's a two-horse race in the AFC South.
We're eyeing Mahomes.
We've got to knock Mahomes off the top.
I love Stroud.
Love CJ Stroud.
Love what they've got going on in Houston.
We're eyeing 15 again. We haven't won an AFC South since 2014.
Did you find that out? I found that out the other day. Yeah, that was some bad news. I love CJ Stroud on our Houston. All right, well, we need... We're out at 15 again. We haven't won an AFC South since 2014. Did you find that out?
I found that out the other day.
Yeah, that was some bad news.
I love C.J. Stroud on our show.
He's awesome.
He's great.
He's a problem.
The Burton-Poms situation?
Showed his boys.
He did.
He acted exactly like C.J. Stroud.
They talked about...
Nick Casario told us,
we had a room with 30 people in it,
all personnel people,
and we just kind of put the guys
right in the front of the room, pretty much.
C.J. Stroud was the only one that just acted the exact same did not change was not nervous
was very comfortable and confident two drunk whites crashed the stage yep he had no clue
who they were not a single thought of seeing them ever on the internet before ever and at
one point he was like man c4 what are we even... Him talking shit, what do you call him?
Muscle hamster?
Muscle hamster.
Then he said,
hey Pat, they said if
his two brothers did this, you would call the police.
I mean, he was like... CJ was like...
Everything he does, I'm like, this guy's
perfect. This guy is absolutely...
His poise is always there, no matter what.
He's right, he's No matter what I fucking love him
But there's some Houston Texans fans I saw on the internet
That have no idea about CJ being on our show a lot
And like
Shit talking being a part of the whole thing
Talking about how CJ hates us
And we hate CJ
He might be my favorite guy to leave
CJ might be my favorite guy in the fucking NFL
Don't be further from the truth
Everyone's got their narrative. I'd like to
let the soccer people know, too, shut the
fuck up.
Are they getting loud about which
squad? Well, it's not even
the, you know, the international
soccer people. No. Because the international
soccer people know that the
game's coming up. Sorry about it. It's ours. They've been saying
it. It's our game. It's all
these American soccer people who just bow down
to the Europes. They're like,
stop embarrassing American soccer.
We're nowhere near what everybody else is.
Okay, shut the fuck up. How about that?
You sound like a little baby back bitch.
At some point, we're going to have to say,
no, we got a team, and we need to go ahead and
compete with them. But it feels like American
soccer pundits are like,
we don't want to offend anybody.
You guys are the people.
Fuck that.
We're trying to win the World Cup.
We're trying to win these things on Earth.
We've been playing soccer a long time over here.
We got programs.
We got an entire roadmap to get to the top.
We got guys growing up in academies in Europe.
It's like, hey, we're allowed to be confident with our team.
We're allowed to talk shit about our team.
And all the people that are representing soccer from the bloggers,
a bunch of little baby-backed bitches.
I'm sick of it.
And all of you, I would assume, I'm better than you at soccer.
So shut up.
And also, Thierry Henry, it's our game now.
He knows that.
Love you, Thierry.
Thierry knows that, AJ.
Because look what Patrick Mahomes is doing.
He did this with like four minutes of practice.
Think about whenever he decides to play in the World Cup
because it's in the United States of America.
And he focuses on soccer for six months.
Great trackers. Oh my god.
Oh my god. He's going to be
phenomenal, AJ Hawk.
So you think they're like
soccer people here are scared to offend all
the international people? No. At some point
there's a reason American soccer isn't as good
because it sounds like we don't believe we're as good, right?
Thank you, AJ.
Yeah, start to.
Now, all these bloggers are trying to respect footy,
and I grew up on this.
I understand, and I appreciate that.
And some people can be like that.
But the entire blogger sphere of United States soccer,
people cannot just be a little soft, cannot have it. Some people can be like that. But the entire blogger sphere of United States soccer,
people cannot just be a little soft.
Cannot have it.
And also, we've won a concave for so many times in a row.
We call it whatever the fuck we want.
Well, that's what it is.
It's our trophy.
Welcome to our tournament.
Gumby, what's the deal?
I know Canada soccer sucks.
You guys suck up there. The women, I think, are very good.
But the men kind of stink.
So you guys are relying on the United States to be great you're welcome we are why is this how
the soccer community is gump it's kind of how they've always been it's just kind of we're up
here you're down here it's the world's game we own it this is how it is yeah but why are the
americans out here being like yeah that's right i don't understand where that comes from because
growing up it wasn't like that like when the u. when the U.S. had Tim Howard in that,
when Landon Donovan was doing it.
Like, they were a pretty proud bunch.
Yeah.
We were trying to win.
Yeah.
Dempsey.
Yeah.
Good squad.
Whenever I was playing in Europe, you know, representing, it's like, yeah.
I'm trying to score 10 goals today against these people.
And let them know, hey, this is what America has, you know.
And this is what we focus on.
I didn't like all the negativity from the United States soccer people.
I get it's called Concacaf.
That name sucks.
Wait, is that how you say it?
Concacaf, yeah.
Okay.
Depends on where you're from.
What tournament's this weekend?
I think it's the Gold Cup, which, once again, we won.
Champions League starts up again tomorrow.
It's the Ahuquez tournament.
Well, then the CBS people.
CBS Colazo.
There it is.
Great show.
Yeah, very good.
A lot of people said Thierry's appearance was not good on our show because of us.
I thought he was great.
He was awesome.
I thought he was great.
Second language.
I thought his second language was really good on there.
But then I watched their follow-up of their show talk about us.
They said we uninvited the other two guests.
You were never invited.
What are we talking about?
Who are the other two? A lady. They what are we talking about who are the other two
they're both very good a lady and a guy
they're a great show but we are not
good at interviewing more than two people
there's never an understanding or an agreement
that all three of them are going to be on
as soon as we heard Thierry Henry was coming on I was like
yes we got Thierry on the show
and then I see them call it what was his name
Paul from CBS Phil what was his name
Paul yeah Paul that sounds name? Paul from CBS? Phil? What was his name?
Paul, yeah.
Paul.
That sounds like a Paul from CBS problem.
The guy that booked Thierry on here, not our problem.
Just want to clear that up with Soccer World and follow up.
United States is going to win a World Cup.
You're talking right.
It's our year.
2026.
It's our year.
In two years. Here we go.
It's in our soil, right?
It's here.
Yeah.
Are we going to qualify?
Are we going to make the tournament? I think we automatically. Yep. Because we're here. Oh, wow. right? It's here. Yeah. Are we going to qualify? Are we going to make the tournament?
I think we automatically because we're here.
Oh, wow.
Perfect.
That's awesome.
This is our year.
Copa America this summer is here too as well.
Who?
Copa America is here this summer.
U.S. is in it against Argentina and Brazil.
It's a pretty massive tournament.
And Messi's playing for us, right?
Yeah.
Argentina.
What's the deal?
That should have been a part of the MLS deal.
So who are our best players?
Messi is our best player,
but for some reason he won't play on our team.
Pulisic. Reina is a dog.
Doesn't get on the field though because he has a little family
situation with the Bertholdt.
There's a Bartholona kid. Who's the big D?
We got a big D guy who's got the long hair.
He's a stud. Jeff Cameron.
Goalie's a stud. Sergio
Dest is a dog. Sergio Dest, yeah. Is that the Bartholona guy? Yes. He plays for Ju. Jeff Cameron. Lauren Bulligan. Goalie's a stud. Sergio Dest is a dog. Sergio Dest, yeah.
Is that the Bartholomew guy?
Yes.
He was.
He plays for Juventus now.
But yeah, not on it.
We for shoot have a good team.
Very good.
We have an actual good team.
I actually am interested to see how they do in the Copa America because it is a good tournament.
The midfielders are a bunch of dogs who play over in Europe in the EPL.
We can't be flopping around, though.
How do I play with him on FIFA?
Nope.
You just go to international and pick
United States. Boom. And put Thierry
on the team, too. You should. We're making him
the coach because we need to fire that son of a bitch
who's our current coach. We just need to.
We did fire him for a little bit. Yeah, he's letting people flop around.
And then now he's back.
He's holding grudges and then he's not.
What are we doing? Not my coach.
We need Tony Miolico. We do.
Yep.
Brian Erlacher said,
if people are still asking if Justin Fields is a guy,
he's probably not.
Just drop that into the world.
Yeah, but did he hear what
Hodge had to say?
Merrill Hodge
does not believe in Caleb Williams.
No, he does not.
He does not believe.
He has strong disbelief.
He does not believe in Caleb Williams.
That's the conversation now, I guess, going forward.
Justin Fields, stay in Chicago, draft, trade out.
Somebody trades up to get Caleb.
Justin Fields leaves Chicago.
Okay, so that means that Chicago is drafting Caleb Williams.
Or are they drafting Drake May, who Darius J. Butler said he would take with the number one overall pick,
which moved him, I think you saying that, moved him to number two
on a lot of draft boards where he was number three behind Jaden Daniels.
It's like here's the next two months of football talk pretty much
after we're in front of us.
It's the offseason.
It's going to be fun, man.
It was great spending time with him.
I feel like you do learn a lot about someone when you spend that much time with them.
Obviously, you know what the talent is on the field, but we know shit.
Me, you, AJ, we know how important that other shit is when it comes to the locker room
and guys, you know, been able to follow that guy.
So I'm interested to see how it all plays out.
Once again, don't know Caleb personally.
You know, would love to spend some time with him, Jaden, those guys.
But it's going to be an interesting offseason.
Nick Casario legitimately said the reason why they like C.J. Stroud
is because of who he was as a guy.
It's like you said it whenever you were talking about Drake May.
You're like, if he's being considered a top guy,
we assume he can play football.
Okay, now this is assuming that Drake May is accurate
whenever he throws at the pro day or combine with an NFL ball.
This assumes he can take a snap from under center.
This is assuming all these things
football wise, because he's already being talked about as a top three guy. That's what we're
assuming. You're just going off of the human and the human aspect is the most important part.
If they have all the other intangibles on the field already, which we're assuming is the case,
AJ. Yeah. Don't you think the top, I don't know, three to five quarterbacks, like, you know,
if these guys have the physical tools to get it done in the NFL,
if the right team around them, all that stuff.
So that's when you have to sit there and dig in
and spend some time with each person and say,
which player kind of fits our culture?
Which player has this crazy Patrick Mahomes drive
and has that it factor that'll get it done
when the lights are the brightest, when things mean the most?
That's what you're trying to figure out.
Patrick Mahomes' fourth quarter of the Super Bowl is better than anybody else in the history of the brightest, when things mean the most. That's what you're trying to figure out. Patrick Mahomes' fourth quarter of the Super Bowl
is better than anybody else in the history of the Super Bowl.
Joe Montana was there last night.
It's like he's got the Joe Montana it factor.
Then he's got the killer mentality.
Not that Joe Montana doesn't.
Joe Montana got traded out in the middle of a dynasty.
He's still pissed about it.
We heard him during Mount Rushmore week.
Talk about this entire thing.
Got the killer mentality of Tom Brady,
and he's got all the arm talent in the world
like nobody else we've really seen at this entire level.
He is the guy, but at the end of the day,
everybody loves him.
Teammates love him.
Coaches love him.
Front office likes him.
Fans like him.
It's like that's the human aspect
that you're trying to figure out
whether or not a guy has
whenever you're risking
investing the entire organization in that person which is what you do whenever you draft a
quarterback in the top five picks yeah from an athletic family too pops you know a long-time
pitcher and just based off seeing his pops i would assume you know talk talk some shit created a dog
when it came to uh patrick saw that with trick like his uncle agent pop like just talking shit
to him pepp pepping him.
You know, he's got a bunch of older brothers
and I think sisters who've been successful athletically too.
But along with that forceman as well, Will Levis,
who started eight games last year.
And I think he had a pretty good rookie year.
I think he played much better than I expected him to for sure.
And talking with him, this is another aspect I never even thought about.
I asked him how did he adjust to getting a play call in his ear
as opposed to getting it, you know, and having a –
because he had a pro-style offensive college.
And he said in college when he was getting the play call,
all he could think about was remembering the play call
and then telling it to the huddle and then getting out.
So he didn't get – he didn't see the field until he got out of the huddle.
But in the NFL, he said he saw the field more clear than ever
because as he was getting that call in his ear,
he was visualizing the play as opposed to just remembering the words.
That's awesome.
I was like, damn.
He's only going to get better.
As a rookie in the NFL, this is the clearest you'll see in the field
ever in your life.
That was crazy to hear.
And the Titans obviously fired a head coach.
They got a lot of transition happening.
Is Will Levis the guy of the future?
We assume he is.
They're going to build around him, but maybe not.
That's a fascinating foursome you're with there.
Phil Mickelson, Drake May, Will Levis.
Excited to continue to dabble into that.
Go ahead, Conman.
Well, I mean, with Drake and Caleb, there's that.
And then Kirk Herbstreit comes on and says,
hey, the guy that everyone is going to fall in love with,
who's going to fly up draft boards, is Jaden Daniels.
So it's like all three of these guys at a certain point
is going to be the number one overall pick.
You know who people are falling out of love with?
Who's that?
The waist management.
Yeah.
Man.
Oh, I could see that from the clips.
People looked like they had a great time.
The weather.
The weather had a lot to do with that, right?
Yeah.
Anytime you get rain in the desert, there's certainly some things that are.
And that never happens.
And through the day I hope no rain. If I'm good to get out of the rain.
Well, the desert no longer
is out of the rain. Vegas, it rained.
Phoenix, it was raining.
I don't know what's going on. Obviously,
smart people figure it out, but
that waste management, the only
conversation about it all weekend was
pretty much
Kiz and Smiley crushed it on the commentary for 16th hole shout out to kisner and smiley
kaufman doing their thing on the mics and then people are way too belligerently drunk they're
being obnoxious yeah that's kind of the conversation around the waistband right now and you look at
that leaderboard i don't know any of those motherfuckers. And I turned on CW just the day before that, and I saw John Rahm playing.
I saw Dustin Johnson playing.
And I didn't see him, but I knew he's somewhere.
Lefty was playing.
It's like, hey, that is a real thing that's going to happen with the PGA.
Just as doofus, okay, I'm doofus.
I'm not a golf expert.
My game has somehow gotten worse with the more that I've practiced.
But I will watch golf on the weekends.
That is something I certainly will.
I don't know these guys personally.
I have no idea why they're good or why somebody else isn't good.
But I do know that when I was watching the CW, which I found this weekend,
I knew a lot more of the golfers than whenever I saw the PGA thing happening.
But the big sell on the PGA thing was like
the waste management thing is sweet.
Then I started seeing all the players.
Billy Ho tells some guy to go fuck himself.
Zach Johnson's selling somebody to go fuck himself.
There's people stumbling and fumbling all over
themselves. I'm like, is this?
Wait a minute. It might be an interesting
time in the PGA right now.
If they don't have their stars at the top
and then there's other stuff happening, it's like, this is
awesome. I'm happy everybody had a blast.
I'm happy everybody had a good
time. But it's like, the PGA,
I never thought the PGA would
have an issue, because it's golf. You're going to watch golf.
But it's like, I didn't know any of those motherfuckers.
To your point, this was the first weekend
where I said, hey, enough of the bullshit.
Alright, Liv, PGA,
we got to join together.
I need to see Rom.
I need to see DJ.
I need to see all those guys in the waste management or any big tournament.
I don't care if it's Liv or PGA.
They need to get this figured out because this was the first week,
and I said, this isn't very fun to watch.
Like, Scottie Scheffler showed up, and I'm like, oh, Scottie Scheffler's still here.
Right.
Speed is there.
See, I think they need to know.
No matter what the tournament,
we need to be invested in the players and kind of have an idea of who they are.
I think casual fans need to kind of have an idea
of the top at least 30 or 40, I think.
I am the casual fan.
I am the casual fan.
I'll turn it on.
And I'm not sophisticated enough to just automatically assume
this guy's a good golfer.
And then they're showing the 16th hole.
Nobody hit the green for like 20 minutes.
It was like, oh, these guys stink.
I was just watching yesterday
at Live, and they're putting this thing
to like two inches, and
they seem to be happier.
Brooks Koepka's over there. Got a massive
massive
And we're talking about a PGA
tournament that went to two
playoff holes and had an awesome finish.
No one cared at all.
Granted, it's Super Bowl Sunday.
I get it.
But still, we got to see both tours.
It was great golf.
It was great golf on Sunday.
Great golf.
But as a casual, I'm going to let the PGA people know,
not that they watch this show, but if anybody can get the message to them,
I found myself not interested.
Now, is that because the Super Bowl is
happening? Probably. Partially.
Is that because J.J. Watts debuted a new haircut
on CBS at about the same time
that this thing? Probably.
But they are going to have to figure that out.
They are going to have to figure that out. I am a
huge, huge golf-watching
fan, not just majors.
Unfortunately,
golf is dead. Yep, golf is dead.
Sorry.
Sucks for the golf people who love it.
Can't watch Liv because it's stupid.
Well, you can't find it. Well, we did find it. They do got a lot of dumb
shit, though. And you can't watch PGA because
it's Mickey Mouse, ain't it?
Both things stink
and golf is dead. They need to sell
every tournament as the waste management now.
Sell the tournament.
Don't sell.
I'm thinking no.
I think the waste management has jumped the shark.
We went last year, and it was cool, and we were up on the elevated thing
when you and AJ were hitting, and they have the bar up there.
But it's basically just set up for assholes in college to come
and spend $800 on beer and get pissed drunk
and then get in fights with the golfers and then which we don't mind which i love all there's a
different i don't mind a little i get it you know i get it like i get the appeal i understand it i
guess it's also partially just where i'm at in my life right now i was like i'd much rather do what
we did last year where it's like private little section. Can see it great.
Nice little mini bar over here.
I'm good with that.
But when all you care about is seeing these dickheads tumble down these hills when they're all boozed up,
that's not what the waste management,
that's not what they want.
They want the action on the course
to be what you're invested in,
not these guys getting drunk
and then stumbling down a long hill
into a pit of mud.
As the bodies get carried out of
the property,
this guy lands on his head.
This guy lands on his head.
Have you seen this guy?
Can we see the beginning of that guy?
That guy landed on his skull. Looked like Christian McCaffrey
from NFC Championship.
Oh, they edited it out. That's the only part
of that guy's run that was pretty
fantastic. I think they said he was like
a pledge at Arizona State.
It's a lot of that kind of stuff where it's just
like... Yeah, but we're frat boy
right here, remember? Sure.
They're never going to have all the
golfers in the same tournament. They have to.
They are! When? In the majors?
They have to. They can't be dead right now because
I don't think you're
far from this casual thing. I think I would be a
casual fan at this point. I feel like a lot of people
over the last couple years, at least in my
circle, have gotten interested in golf
playing golf. So you got to get
the best guys playing against each other.
Oh, shit.
D-Mutt, D-Mutt.
Nobody's surprised.
It was a white that did that.
What was the plan?
Last night, two streakers on the field.
Two whites.
Yeah, that's right.
Acting like assholes, obviously.
I don't know what that guy's plan was.
I think he thought maybe the sand was a trampoline.
Yeah, maybe.
Complete opposite.
Yeah.
Could not be more of an opposite.
There's not much.
But you're right.
You're saying you need to see the big names
You gotta get the big names, you gotta get them together
Somehow, some way, they've obviously been talking about it
We'll see if it actually gets done
But for the best of both worlds
Well, and just like
You gotta play the big songs
When you're hosting a concert
But they have a bottomless pit of money
Like I understand they gotta get it done
If a bottomless pit of money can't get it done,
then what amount of money can?
Was Rory in the wasted management?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
He chose not to play?
I don't know.
He might have been playing somewhere else or just had an off week,
but he was not in it.
He's going to live.
No, he's not.
What if they all just?
I mean, at this point, why wouldn't they?
He's got all the money.
Football had to do this.
Like, AFL?
All that shit.
Reggie White was playing in Memphis and like Bo Jackson.
Like you got to.
Who else?
Who else was involved with all that?
No clue.
You know.
You know.
You know.
Yeah.
Someone owned that jersey.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
You can say.
Yeah.
He owned a team.
You're a commissioner as you said.
He was part of the whole thing.
Roger?
I'm not sure.
You can say it.
I don't know what we're talking about.
Player?
Owner?
Probably belonging to his golf courses.
The guy had his hair.
It was like his hair like this.
Hair goes real forward and anchor straight. Oh, DJT?
Yeah.
He's a big part of everything.
Exactly.
He never let him get in the NFL, right?
Well, it's because of, I believe, because of that hole.
Yeah, we got to figure it out.
Have to.
Got to.
Foxy, tell them to figure it out, dude.
Figure it out.
I actually didn't expect it to be this bad.
I didn't think I'd care this much, but it is bad.
Both tournaments are terrible.
I couldn't believe it.
I've watched much less golf.
I've watched way less golf than I have.
Probably the last two or three years, I barely watch anymore.
But the majors are awesome.
Yeah, the Masters will be sweet.
Sure.
When are those coming?
April?
March is the players.
Masters is April. March is the players. Masters is April.
March is the players.
So we've got to really take advantage of those when those are happening.
But the players is – I was going to say that's not a major.
It's the fifth major, but it's still a PGA.
So a lot of those guys probably won't be there.
The live guys?
Yeah.
The Shuffler.
Tua and Hootie played some tunes at a bar.
Daniel Jones was dancing in a crowd, that's what Super Bowl brings you
Amen
Tua with sunglasses on, is she smoking?
Whoa, legal state
He is a legal state
or maybe he just wants to look cool, rock star
We've seen him play the ukulele before
obviously everybody's seen him do that
Everybody says he's incredibly talented musically
He can sing well, they say
and Hootie, who loves the Dolphins, because remember, they make him cry.
That's right.
Unfortunately.
This is probably a dream for Darius Rucker.
Thank you to Tua for doing this for Hootie.
Yeah, that was cool.
Playing with his starting quarterback for the Dolphins.
Sorry about that, AJ.
What were you saying?
It looked like Bruce is out there in the second row by Dan Jones.
Yeah, I was about to say, that's actually Daniel Jones.
That's actually Daniel Jones.
In front of Daniel,
he's got his 360 right there with the
nice hair like Bruce. Right there behind
the phone. Yep. Yeah, right behind the phone.
Bruce, were you at this? He was in his 360 like posing her.
No, it does look like a great
time, but I was not.
Some of these events, like I saw
Tunchi was performing. Yeah.
Some of these parties only get like 30 people at them.
I was going to say, no one was at the Tunchi party.
Yeah, that's what I'm...
Did you see that as well?
I saw that video and you could actually hear him...
Echo.
Singing, yeah.
Singing the words echoing through the club.
Because they're probably paying him a shit ton of money.
They're probably paying Hootie a shit ton of money.
The amount of money that's offered for these events is grotesque, I will say.
But then it's on the people that are putting the party together
to organize the crowd that is going to come,
and they're competing against, like,
10 other companies at the same time.
Feels like the events maybe have lost their fastball.
Oh, no.
Maybe.
Is that real?
I don't know.
I saw the Fanatics one, you know, star-studded event.
We're invited to that.
Yep.
I feel like it's tough with Vegas.
We might be the only people that ever said,
that's okay.
Was that Friday night?
Saturday night.
We were already out of town.
That was Saturday night.
Saturday night.
But I think people would change their planes,
even though out of Vegas you can't.
But we were, I guess after our interview with Ruben,
on Friday?
Thursday.
Thursday.
The Rock.
Those guys aren't bad.
Extend an invite to those guys at a party.
We're going to be out of town, Mike.
Thanks.
So sorry. So sorry. Got to be the only people that have said're going to be out of town, Mike. Thanks. So sorry about it.
I'm sorry.
Got to be the only people
that have said no to that.
I saw the pictures of that thing.
I'm like,
we should have wanted that.
Yeah, it was pretty cool.
That would have been so cool.
Where was that?
That would have been so cool.
Yeah, everybody was there.
Is that the Cosmo?
The amount of like,
oh, shit.
What's that?
Did you see the golden,
the title?
The WWE title?
Everybody had it.
Everybody had it.
That was Snoops?
That would have been cool.
Yeah, that would have been cool to go to.
We shouldn't have done that.
Probably never get invited again, but.
Well.
Have events lost their fastball?
That is the question.
I think Vegas has something to do with it.
There's so much other shit to do.
Yeah, there's so much shit going on.
You know, you got fucking Bellagio Bob.
You know, just, hey, can I get you a table over here?
I mean, it's tough.
In these other cities, there's nothing else to do.
Bellagio Bob?
Weapon.
Yeah, he's a king.
Except for next year.
This guy retired from the Navy, from Ohio.
Retired from the Navy, hopped on a motorcycle,
rode from Ohio to
Vegas. Wow. Started as a
busboy to Bellagio. That was
like 35 years ago. Yep.
Now he's like, you need a table for how many?
No problem. Put you on a fountain.
Hey, Bellagio Bob, we appreciate you.
Thank you, Bellagio Bob. He's got the Hey, Bellagio Bob, we appreciate it. Thank you, Bellagio Bob.
He's got the juice.
Bellagio Bob's got the juice.
Did you end up winning, Bellagio Blackjack?
No. Did anybody
end up winning Bellagio Blackjack?
We shouldn't have went back.
That's why Bellagio Bob has us in.
Bellagio Bob's seen us 50 times.
Look at this group of dipshits. Absolutely
we'll give you a table. Why don't you come back tomorrow? Come on back tomorrow. And you guys lost 50 times. Yeah. Look at this group of dipshits. Absolutely will give you a table.
Why don't you come back tomorrow?
Come on back tomorrow.
And you guys lost everything there.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's Vegas, baby.
That's Vegas, baby.
I believe he texted Mitt to get him back the next day because Ty and Mitt had quite the time at the table.
No.
I told Mitt when we got there, you ain't sitting down at my fucking table.
You can go out there and do whatever.
And then I told Bill, and he'll say, oh, you were the one that lost.
I said, Bill, some of us are actually trying to play here,
and some of us are acting like we're playing with peanut M&Ms
and not $100 and $200 chips.
So it was one of those things.
It was a great time.
That's Bill's style.
Yeah, which is okay.
But when you're just being the dickhead who's playing for himself at the table
when everyone else is trying to, you know, hey.
That can't be what Bill was doing.
It sure was.
Bill McComb, you experienced it.
Early, absolutely.
As we got later in the night and Chuck basically was like,
Bill, I'm going to fucking kill you if you don't start listening
to me. Chuck was at his wits
end. And then Bill did start getting better
by the end. Bill felt the pressure.
He did. But at that point,
the dealer
came in, this son of a bitch
with beautiful slick back hair. He just
fucking cleaned us out.
Hey Bill, how come everybody that
has played blackjack with you hates it?
Why is that?
I sat in front of Ty for five hands.
And in those five hands, Ty had lost all of his money, but it was not my fault.
Bill, I saw you try to hit on a 19.
I saw you try to hit on a 19.
Hey, there's always a two coming.
See?
That's a problem.
There's always a two.
You can't play with a piece of shit like that.
You just can't.
I forget what he was sitting right in front of me, too.
I have sat in time spot.
Now, I've been on the record of stating this.
It is not a lot.
I get cards, like I do.
So I'm very lucky.
But Bill was sitting right next to me, and then Chuck was in first seat.
So Chuck was first.
So Chuck had to scream over a couple people to Bill, who's right next to me and then chuck was in uh uh first seat so chuck was first so chuck had to scream over a
couple people to bill who's right next to me then chuck would look at me when bill was doing
something and he'd be like hey your job here to talk to this guy and i would look at bill
and bill would literally be deep thought there's a five on the table he has let's let's say he had
18 and there's a five on the table they might have a 6 under there
and a 10 and I'm like Bill
you cannot
you play how you want to play pal
alright
that was my first live blackjack
experience everything else has been on the phone
by yourself in your own world
I didn't know that
either
digital blackjack is killing real blackjack is what it sounds like.
Hey, Bill, I appreciate it because you were consistent.
You were an asshole every single hand.
There wasn't a single thought.
I appreciate that, Bill.
Way to go, Bill.
Way to go, Bill.
So you lost all your money?
Yeah.
And how did mid play?
I was up about 1,500 before Bill sat down.
I mean, part of it is I should have walked away.
I should have pocketed a couple of those things, but you get greedy.
That's Bellagio Bob on the right side right there.
Obviously, Chuck's the connect.
Owns everything that your eyes can see in this photo.
We were on the fucking fountain.
Did a fountain show as soon as we got our food.
It was like a setup for that entire thing.
Oh, shout out.
Kyle Brandt did a hell of a...
He did.
That was phenomenal. Well, phenomenal taker walked yeah and especially to choreograph that with the bellagio yep fountain at the end of that i was very impressed hell of a season by kyle
uh all right slap league was bananas yeah loved it that was crazy i saw some of the videos you
guys they're like what what was it like in person hearing smash? Oh, man.
It is.
I mean, you can't even.
It looks so violent.
Like, how many people got knocked out?
Well, when we were there, three.
Yeah, several.
They kind of catch them a little bit.
They don't, like, completely catch them.
That's Forrest Griffin, too, catching them.
That's former UFC fighter Forrest Griffin.
Yeah, he's the one catching them and everything like that.
Yeah, it's a full business.
It is.
The winner, E-Man, I think the guy with the purple hair.
Yeah.
He won like 50 or 60 grand.
I forget what the number is.
Yep.
Like completely changed life.
The other guy, the white trash dude from Dakota.
Yep.
Who was, he clubbed middle of that.
He does.
He knew.
He's a clubber.
He knew he was in trouble.
He was undefeated.
I guess he was really good until he stepped up to E-Man.
Whatever the case was.
But like in there, it is a different vibe than anything I've ever been a part of.
Every human in there had a camera person with them.
Yep.
At least one.
I didn't realize that.
It was one of the biggest collection of assholes I've ever seen in my life.
You talking about us?
You mean the patrons, like all the people watching, have a camera crew with them?
Yep.
It was literally every single influencer you've ever thought of in your entire life was there.
Legit.
My favorite was cowboy
Donald Surrey. He clearly
was betting on people.
He had access, obviously, to
right up in there.
One guy got clubbed and then they were trying to
get him back in there.
Holding a drink, take your time
talking to this guy.
Take your time.
Steve will do it. I got a chance to meet him again, see him again. I'm talking to this guy. Take your time. Steve will do it.
I got a chance to meet him again, see him again.
I'm a massive fan of his.
I feel like if I was a younger male doing a social media thing,
I would hope that I would be able to be who Steve is.
I'm a big fan of his and the business that he's built.
He hasn't been perfect, obviously, but getting a chance to see him
and the Nelk Boys was cool.
But, yeah, every influencer on earth was in there, not just the Nelk Boys was cool. But yeah, every influencer on earth was in there.
Not just the Nelk Boys.
Chuck Barkley was there as well.
Chuck Barkley.
He said, I fucking hate you, McAfee.
I was like, is that CNN Chuck back there?
Big pop and then we walked by.
I don't know Chuck Liddell.
A lot of people coming in and going, I think, throughout all.
It was wild in there, AJ.
Spectacular.
It was wild.
That one UFC fighter that everybody loves was there.
Sean Strickland.
Him and MGK, I guess, had a full moment.
Sean Strickland was over with Cowboy Cerrone in that one area.
And I was like, just both, I think, pretty intoxicated.
That's one of those situations where, like, we need not ask.
Hey, everybody, watch your fucking shoulder.
Careful.
That whole place was a head on a swivel.
Do not bump into anybody in here.
Oh, yeah.
Those motherfuckers are real.
And slapping, I guess like mixed martial arts,
I guess boxing probably used to have this.
You don't automatically get the sense where everybody in the crowd can do
what's happening in there.
You'll see the affliction pants.
You'll see the ears.
And you're like, all right, definitely don't want to fuck with them.
But with the slap fest, it's like, like oh everybody in here can slap yeah everybody in
here knows like kind of the game but it's yeah i mean they fuck each other up in there dude they
really and there's a full science behind it i saw a dude i saw a dude flatlined and they're like
well we still gotta count this game like we need to get an ambulance we need to get an ambulance
for this guy they're like no he's dead he's dead the lady i think her name was sheena or shauna she's from like holland
the lady that got clubbed so budapest maybe oh yeah she came out dana was like this is the
toughest woman i have ever seen in my life but But American gets the swing first. We've never seen her after getting rocked.
I guess she's just a one, done, fighter, slapper.
So then the American comes out all jacked up,
talking shit to the crowd.
You bad against everybody, bad against everybody.
I didn't even know you existed.
I stood up and said that.
I'm on your side, though.
Let's go, America.
She knocks this lady out loud.
That was the loudest.
Dude.
By far.
Clean.
Just, it was so loud.
Through the room.
Echoes through the room.
And then let the bodies hit the floor.
Just straight up dead out there.
And I'm five feet away from this.
I'm like, holy fuck.
That was an assault I just saw there.
And then the American takes a victory lap.
And I'm like, all right. I'm clapping. There's a there. And then the American takes a victory lap, and I'm like, all right.
I'm clapping.
There's a dead body right.
Let's go.
Here it is.
Oh, man.
Get the audio.
Square it up.
Right hand on three.
Dude.
Cleaning just.
She didn't cock it back that far.
Wow.
Yeah, dude.
So if you get up, do you get a chance to hit them back?
Oh, yeah.
It depends on how many rounds.
There was a five-rounder at the end.
There's a three-rounder that takes place. Goodness.
But they called that club.
She did not answer the eight count.
She was done.
Okay.
But then they did super review.
Yep.
And the Nevada Gaming Commission came in and said it was a club
because at the end she turned her palm a little bit.
Massive controversy.
Huge. So Sheena
still undefeated. Other lady who knocked
lady out goes out with a DQ, a loss.
We still have not
seen the other lady stand up and speak though.
Or hit.
Or smack.
We're robbed of her being able to
smack back. I'm telling you dude.
It was a bit of a club. To your point.
What if they smacked her ear?
That's clubbing.
If you smack the ear, that means the palm would be somewhere.
We saw a couple broken noses.
Oh, yeah.
Big Oos got his nose.
Yeah.
He was in the crowd after watching.
Oh, shit.
McAfee.
He's like, Oos, I saw you.
You got cheated, dude.
I mean, that was very, very loud.
You felt the vibration.
But it was one slap louder that I experienced in a week.
I think it was the night before.
Oh, boy.
I experienced that with you, brother.
Brother.
Yeah.
You talking about the pan?
Yeah.
That is attached to a forearm?
Yeah, brother.
Right to the side of the American Nightmare's mouth?
Bah!
That was a real... That took his jaw off yeah let him
go the rock released his side where he was mic'd up oh it was awesome let him go yeah bitch let
him go we can do whatever the fuck we want whatever the fuck we want 200 million views
they said yeah 72 hours 200 million views in 70 see now that was not clubbing That would be a clean slap
That would be a very clean slap
It was awesome to be there
It was fucking awesome
I understand there's some people that maybe never got into WWE
Or whatever
But if you can just like suspend
Just act like you're watching a movie or a show
For a couple hours
You will be mightily entertained
And The Rock is all
the way back.
Heyman's face when he smacks him.
He's so good.
You can freeze it right where he smacks him to see
Heyman's face. Seth Rollins
was the one saying to The Rock,
you're not allowed to do that.
The live fans are the best in there yeah wrestling is the fucking best it is the best dude that was
awesome all right speaking of that i'm gonna get down to lexington for a lot of night hell yeah
here we go i have no idea so everybody assumes that if you're in the wrestling business especially
if you're calling it like well they got to give you a heads up about something right for me they
give me no heads up about anything and you can probably tell whenever
you start watching because i might step on some shit you know because i don't know where we're
headed sure i might have a little bit of a reaction but they're just basically like hey
big dumb dipshit who's been watching this since you're a kid just react however the hell you want
to react you got it you got it that press conference was, oh, my God. And then The Rock saying, I'll smack the fucking teeth out of this.
I'm like, okay.
We are back, baby.
Wrestling is back.
I can't wait.
Road to WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Should be a great one in the next couple months.
Yes.
I forgot we have that.
Yeah.

Marsh Madness?
AJ, Combine's in a couple weeks.
We're missing it completely.
We're in Indy.
Saw that.
Saw that.
It was shifty.
Yeah.
Well, it's good because we'll be able to overreact to everything on Monday.
I'm going to go to it, too.
Yeah, go.
Go speed and run.
I'll be here on Friday.
Go out with Ian to the steakhouse.
I'm not going to do that.

You guys just want to hang out
Combine I wonder if we'll just be able to just hang out on sideline. Let's do that's NFL Network, right?
That's the other ones that run it. I don't know if we're gonna get there. I turn them down donors
I don't know check out that shirt. Can you get your sweet?
Yeah, that'd be sweet.
Yeah, absolutely.
I was never offered.
What the fuck?
They're robbing me.
Interesting.
Happy Jim.
Mercy is okay.
Yeah.
For Jim.
Fuck it.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
You got one.
You got one. I thought that was it. I thought that was. Yeah, me too. That's no. You got one. You got one. Oh, no.
I thought that was it.
I thought that was it.
Yeah, me too.
That's why I said for Jim.
And then clank.
Got him.
Oh, no.
You got to make one right now.
Nick!
Nick!
Shoot the ball quick.
This ball.
Look at this ball.
It's flat.
Get rid of it.
Get rid of it.
It's for Jim.
Oh, no.
That flat doesn't count.
Yeah, flat ball doesn't count. Third time's a charm. Everyone, no. That flat doesn't count. Yeah, flat ball doesn't count.
Third time's a charm.
Everyone knows that.
Everybody knows that.
Boom, there it is.
For Jim.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Love you, Jim.
Oh, shit.
Flat balls don't count.
Well, that's what I heard, by the way, about Jim.
Yeah.
Close.
Exactly.
And then in the end, what?
Bingo.
All good.
Sinks it.
Hell yeah.
Let's go Colts.
Haven't heard that.
All right, let's get out of here. We'll be back tomorrow with a great Tuesday.
Gotta stack line them.
Stack. Then Wednesday.
Stack. Commissioner.
Commish. Commish.
Then NBA All-Stars this weekend here in
Indianapolis, so I think Thursday, Friday, maybe we'll
have a couple NBA guys stop by
at Thunderdome. There we go. A lot of space
and opportunity here for NBA people.
Yeah.
If they want to smoke.
Isn't there?
Oh, yeah.
Is Kuka playing?
They're on the game?
Oh, do we make that happen?
We said it, so.
I doubt it.
Sorry.
I just, I don't know.
But we said it on the show.
I just doubt it.
It's an ESPN thing.
We said it pretty loud.
It's Kuka Nakua.
Yeah, he should play.
I completely agree.
He deserves to play. How about him saying like,
I get they say CJ's a good player,
but I'm nice.
What if he is? I bet he is.
He said he would run routes to Cooper Cup.
Strictly so, then Cooper Cup has to
go play basketball with him after they run routes.
Yeah, he said, I wasn't going to run routes. I was just going
to play hoops pretty much. Yeah. So we wonder why
he's got so much wiggle
in it. Oh, need him in a celebrity game. He wants to play in it. He does. People don't want to play hoops pretty much. So we wonder why he's got so much wiggle. Oh, need him in the celebrity game.
He wants to play in it.
He does.
People don't want to play in that game.
He wants to play in it.
Let's put him in there.
All right.
Come on, ESPN.
Talk to Adam on Wednesday.
FaceTime Foss.
Let's FaceTime Foss.
He asked if we should FaceTime Puka.
Puka's already made his statement.
We need ESPN. We should FaceTime Foss. Puka's already made his statement. We need ESPN.
We should FaceTime Foss.
Yes.
Foss is going to love this.
Just put him right on the spot.
Oh, I don't know.
Foss is a man who's been through about 40 wars because of our particular program.
He is our base in Connecticut where ESPN is.
So anything I say or do over here,
he has to answer for it over there.
He's a good man. He's a great man.
Senior Vice President of ESPN.
Drove a van around Vegas, ladies and gentlemen.
Foss.
Foss.
Former MLSer, too.
Former MLSer.
Hey, I'm sick of these American soccer bloggers
being like, we're not allowed to say we can beat the Europe team.
I'm sick of it, Foss.
That's partly your fault.
Just want to let you know that.
Yeah, I mean, I'm the head of Concava.
You get it.
You get it.
You understand what we're saying.
Hey, just a quick question here.
Pukunukua, and we have no idea what his travel schedule is,
if he's even available.
He just said it in the show.
He wants to play in that celebrity game for Friday night for the
NBA. How do we make that happen? Who do we
need to call live and put
on the spot here for Puka to get in that game?
You just did.
He's in. Boom.
There it is. Puka! Puka your flight,
Puka. We have no idea if you're on vacation
or not, but you kind of wrote,
kind of asked for something. You got it if you wanted, I think.
Way to go, Foss. Thank you, Foss.
Thank you, guys. First time.
Look at this. I'm sure
they won't write about this.
Well, you know who
is finding the cheese right now.
You know who.
Gnawing,
thieving rat.
Not you, though. Lazy Jeff and Mike Foss. Not you, though.
Laser jab, Mike Foster.
Thank you, Mike.
Love you, Mike.
Sapuka's in the slavery game.
That's great news.
He's going to get 28 points probably.
I hope he gets MVP.
What's he get, a car?
What team is he playing on?
He can get a spaceship.
A couple of dunks.
He needs to be opposite of CJ.
Absolutely.
I think it should be on CJ.
Is CJ playing? Yeah. He's on the opposite of CJ. Absolutely. I think it should be on CJ.
Is CJ playing?
Yeah.
He's on the roster.
Oh.
I think they should be on the same team.
I agree.
Yeah, but.
Puka said, sure, CJ's nice, but watch me cram on him.
Yeah, but NFL guys.
Yeah.
They should also set it up so one team beats the other team by like 70 points.
That'd be a thing.
I agree. So they got like bounce bat, like all-star game. Exactly.
So it's like Harlem Globetrotters.
Bingo. Like Biebs trying to break
the press with Puka and CJ
just putting the fucking clamps on him.
I want to see that. That's what we
want to see too. We need the Washington
Generals and we need the Harlem Globetrotters.
Harlem Globetrotters, by the way, Puka
Nakula. Right. I don't think Biebs is playing.
CJ Stroud, Houston Texans quarterback.
He's on T.J. Stroud.
Holy shit.
Onwell Double A's playing?
Middle World Peace.
Jack Ryan.
Adam Blackstone.
Connor Daly.
Jennifer Hudson.
Lily Sir.
Tristan Jass.
He can play now.
Watch out for him.
Kai Sinat.
Dog.
C.J. McLean. He's from the Backstreet Boys, right?
Micah, this is the celebrity game.
Dylan Wang, bro.
When Dylan Wang gets a rock in the corner, Dylan Wang does one of these.
Couple of these, couple of these.
Dylan Wang pulls up.
How you doing?
How's Metta allowed to play?
They always have an ex-player.
He's an all-star.
He's also a celebrity.
He's going to be lobbing oops to AJ McLean like you wouldn't believe.
Shannon doesn't have an NBA player.
Yeah, but Walker Hayes.
Walker Hayes.
They're screwed.
What's that Walker Hayes song?
What's that Walker Hayes song?
You guys know it. When I taste tequila.
That's fucking Dan and Shane.
Shit.
Fuck.
Oh, you know that?
Walker hits a lot of man, I think.
Oh, is that his Fancy Like?
Is that the Applebee's song?
That's the Applebee's song.
Yeah, you're right.
Fancy Like.
Applebee's.
On a late night.
Eating potato skin.
Half off.
Yeah. Is that him?
Yep.
Just looked it up.
Let's get out of here.
We did our best.
We got Puka in there, though.
Yeah.
Boom.
You should try to FaceTime Puka.
Let's try to FaceTime Puka.
That's how I know we're live, too.
Let's tell him he's in a game
and he wants to be.
He did it.
You're fucking in.
Yeah.
This is Puka Nakua's life now.
I don't want to be in a celebrity game.
You're in. Congrats. No, we should show him the rosterua's life now I want to be in Slavery You're in
Congrats
No we should show him the roster
Yeah
You have to remove someone
You should pick his team
Yeah they can't get rid of anybody
Well
Just add him
They can
They would be so happy if Pukunikua
They would be so happy if Pukunikua was in
They need Puka
To play
Where's Kevin Hart? Doesn't Kevin Hart usually play in these things? Not anymore He's done with it to play.
Where's Kevin Hart?
Doesn't Kevin Hart usually play in these things?
Not anymore.
He's done with it.
15 years ago.
I've heard a lot of stuff about him. A lot of people doing interviews about him.
What do you mean?
There's a lot of talking going on
about a lot of people about a lot of stuff.
After the cat thing.
Well said.
That's real.
Yeah.
What happened with the cat?
And on that note, let's get out of here.
All right.
I had a three-legged cat watch the Super Bowl with me last night, Scootsy.
Nice.
She missed me, I think.
I bet.
Nice.
That's the first time she's ever done that.
Really?
For real.
I was just sitting here watching the Super Bowl, having a good old time,
wondering if the Niners were just going to beat the shit out of the Chiefs.
Is this how this is going to go?
Three-legged cat comes climbing
upside, sits on my lap.
Very rarely. He's never done that.
It was cute.
I thought it was so cool.
Shout out Scooch.
Scooch, he did make me feel good.
Then she forced me into giving her a treat
for about
two to three hours. It was work.
That's okay, though.
I got absolutely worked.
Only dogs show true love.
Nope.
Valerie is now at the stage of life where she certainly likes you if you got something for her.
Sure.
But if you don't, she ain't got nothing for you.
Yeah, but how many years of unconditional love did she give?
You're right.
Bingo.
We don't know how old Scootsie is.
Scootsie could be a 50-year-old cat.
Could be.
Three legs. Maybe a leg falls off every 10 years
How's your family? Family good? They had to miss you? You were gone for a while
Yeah man, everyone's doing well
Yeah, of course
We had a good time watching the game
First half was, like I said, a bit cagey
But we loved the second half
It was a cagey affair
Alright, we're back tomorrow
I'm happy we made the universe ball
Thank God That could have been It was Cajun. That's football. All right, we're back tomorrow. I'm happy we made the universe ball. Yeah, thank God.
For Jim.
Yeah.
That could have been.
I'm so thankful that ball fell.
Yes.
So we saved a life there.
We got Pook and a Coo and a celebrity game.
Yep.
Rex Ryan's still in it.
Definitely.
Anything else today?
Justin Fields to the Steelers.
Fields.
Ryan Grubb was in with
McDonald no matter where he went. Felt like that?
Mm-hmm.
Dan Orlovsky knows the 69ers.
Yes. Yep. That's what you said.
All right. I'm going to take it.
Dan spent... You did. You said Dan knows.
Remember? Yep. I did.
Of course he knows. Dan's a dog.
Is he?
Mm-hmm. When it comes to 69.
We didn't like doing this, but we were pocket watching, and Jesus has got it.
It's real.
Jesus got all the money.
Yeah.
Jesus got more money than Anheuser-Busch.
Yeah.
And Doritos.
And Doritos.
Combined.
I believe it.
Jesus got more money than Don Kings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cash.
But not Teemu.
That was, what the fuck was that?
I don't know, but there were 8,000 of those commercials.
I heard who was behind it.
I'm not going to bring it up here on this program.
How'd they get so many commercials?
Because they got money.
Apparently, they got a lot of residents.
I think I know what Tony's getting at.
I think you do, though.
I don't know what you're talking about. I think you do, though. I do.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Me neither.
You talking about this place?
He's right in it.
What does people do? Oh, baby.
You mean you buy, they're like online retailer?
Oh, baby.
You don't want to know.
Let's get out of here.
Tones, I'm thankful you didn't bring it up.
What's he drawing up?
Just his answer for what he thought it was.
Oh, cool.
I don't know if now's the time.
He's definitely not wrong.
Really?
I don't think so.
Sounds like you just want him to be right.
No, I think he is right.
I also looked into it.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
They got a lot of money.
Oh, yeah.
Talking about bottomless pits.
They sell stuff real cheap.
Is this the new, what was the, what are you talking about?
What?
Teemu? Yeah, I know McCaffrey was chilling for it, too. What is it? They sell stuff real cheap. Is this the new... What are you talking about? What? Taimu?
Yeah, I know McCaffrey was chilling for it, too.
What is it?
They said, spend your money like a billionaire or something.
That was the whole basis of the commercial.
It's like a bootleg Amazon.
Yeah, people are buying espresso makers for $9.99.
Oh, it's a...
Yeah.
Co-pilot's office.
It's a prominent Chinese e-commerce company.
Oh, no. Oh, yeah.ilot. It's a prominent Chinese e-commerce company. Oh, no.
Simon says.
Taimou.
Has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Oh.
I mean, those are real.
We can't get into that whole thing
of what's real and what's not because then you start
questioning literally everything.
It's Super Bowl Monday. We don't need to be questioning everything today. Bingo. And it's Super Bowl one day.
Yeah.
We don't need to be questioning everything today.
We don't.
We got months to do all that.
Exactly.
Fuck.
Are you using TAMU?
No, of course not.
Are you kidding me?
I just signed up for an Amazon credit card.
Lock me in.
Take all my money.
5% back.
Whoa.
On all Amazon purchases.
It is.
I have it.
It's huge.
If you use Amazon a lot
You should absolutely
Get the Amazon credit
If your wife
Uses it often
Bingo
5% back
Think about how much
You spend on Amazon a year
Yeah all of a sudden
You'll be
You'll get something
You'll look in there
And be like
Holy shit
I have $8,000
In you know
Just money I can use
Hey Sam
Let's get on that
Yeah
Love you Sam
You are talented.
Samazon is what her nickname is.
She's a talented shopper on there.
We should be getting 5% back. Should be.
That feels like a large number, 5%.
Also, I believe it's not just
Amazon. What do you mean?
Like Whole Foods and stuff? No. You do get 5%
back from Whole Foods. It's like wherever I use
that motherfucker, I'm getting 5%. 2%
back at restaurants and gas.
I just got it yesterday, so I know all the...
Gas, of course, I don't use gas because
I'm saving the world.
Thank you, Darius, for acknowledging
that. That's normally not the answer on this show.
I'll let the kids know.
Yeah, not the kids
in the mines, you're saying?
Yeah, just whoever is there surviving
people.
That's our guy in our mind. Yeah, exactly.
We're out of here. We'll see you tomorrow.
AJ, great work today. You did great.
Good job, AJ.
Great season.
Great season.
We did good.
Couple wars. Didn't get sued?
Nope. No lawsuits. Close.
We were close.
Very close. We were close. We were. Yeah.
Well.
Very close. We were close or guess was close.
I assume we would have got lumped into that.
Yeah.
Don't you think?
Maybe.
Disclaimer?
We shouldn't have been, but.
PS, don't sue us.
Right there at the beginning.
We got lumped into a lot for that.
Well, we're lucky to be here.
Yeah.
Thankful to be here.
And we'll be back tomorrow.
Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change your life. We're lucky to be here. Thankful to be here. And we'll be back tomorrow. Be a friend.
Tell a friend something nice.
It might change your life.
We're in this thing together.
Hey, team on me.
Team on three.
One, two, three.
Team.
Goodbye.
