Hello beautiful people! Happy Thanksgiving Eve and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome, on this wide Wednesday, November 27th, 2024. This program starts now! Football! It's amazing and tomorrow there's a jam-packed day of NFL football. Now, a lot of people are saying some of the matchups are crap, but we do get Packers Dolphins as a nightcap and let's enjoy the hell out of that. The Giants and the Cowboys, sure. It's Tommy Cutlets versus Cooper Rush in the middle of your Thanksgiving day. And then the Chicago Bears who have been playing fantastic football as of late, even though every single time they're this close, they lose. Taking on the dominant Detroit Lions to kick off your beautiful Thanksgiving football

Festivities and we can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living today should be a fun one Okay, obviously jage watt will be joining us in the next hour 110 can't wait to chat with the future first ballot Hall of Famer We also have First ballot Hall of Famer for everything joining us in about 14 minutes or so the goat of college football Nick Saban will be joining us because obviously we'll be off Thursday and Black Friday due to an NFL game happening on Netflix, no on Prime on Friday. So Nick Saban instead of joining us on Friday he'll be joining us today and it's perfect day for him to be joining us because the

new college football playoff rankings are out. And I'll tell you what, Heather Dinnitsch was basically spot- on with everything that was going to happen. And the thing that made us most pissed whenever we saw this was that two SEC teams playing and that two Big Ten teams playing. We don't need that. Now SMU coming up from Dallas to play in Indiana would certainly be a beautiful thing to witness. And Arizona State obviously activate the Valley, beautiful Phoenix having to come play in Columbus is something but the big conversation about all of this is SEC verse Big Ten and the SEC folks have been saying why don't you come down here and try to win in these atmospheres

In Big Ten people haven't been saying for long enough, but they're certainly gonna start saying it now Why don't you come up here to the cold-ass weather? your style of football. Big 10 football is a certain style. You know why? Because in December, November and January, it's cold as shit. Yeah, sometimes you're not going to be able to feel your hands. You're not going to be able to throw the ball over the yard, but you know what you'll be able to do? Hand that thing off and big bodies move big bodies and running backs move the rock. So we got a clash of styles, a clash of environments, a clash of attitudes that aren't gonna happen in this particular college football playoff ranking bracket.

But what will it be when it actually matters in a few weeks? We'll talk to Coach Saban after the chaotic SEC Saturday here in a matter of moments. And then Michael Lombardi, who normally comes on on Thursdays, will join us at the end of this particular hour. We'll obviously be making all of our picks for the NFL Slate this weekend,

and also our Ram Trufft segment will happen today. And we got some good contenders that are taking on Mount Boom. Actually, I'm a Clinton manager. Whoa. Yeah, you know who. We all saw it out there at Berkeley. What an absolute go.

Your Talks at the Table's here at Boston Corner and at Ties Schmidt. Let's talk about the Tarps boys, IMG Academy. Sweet hoodie there, Ties Schmidt. Yeah, not bad. You know, it's a very nice hoodie too. It's not one of these, you know, obviously IMG Academy, you know, big swinging dongs. So it's a very nice sweatshirt, very comfortable.

It's not kind of just your run in the mill, crappy high school, you know, sweatshirt. I'm not going to throw any brands under the bus, but this thing is very comfortable. I saw it this morning I said, you know what what the hell? He has sent us some gifts because we chit chat about a few of their games and also I believe the head football coach there Has created like a top 10 pick in like the last eight drafts. Yeah, whatever So IMG Academy is a wagon very expensive very they got a lot of money to pay for those Everything like and let's go to the Boston Bruins tarp here. That looks like a special jersey there,

not the basic Bruin tarp. What do we have there? Yeah, this is the jersey for this Sunday, the centennial game. I'd say you guys know what that is, but you don't because your hockey clubs haven't been around long enough. The Boston Bruins played their first game

December 1st, 1924, 100 years ago. And so they'll be wearing these commemorative jerseys. They're beautiful tarps. Absolutely beautiful. Basically made for glory. Once again, some of you guys probably don't know much about a Saco and the boys have been hot two in one. When did they lose? Tough one last night. They are still hot. They're two and one of their last three since Saco took over. Going to have to figure out how to sauce the puck into that net. But yeah, these, uh, these jerseys that will be worn on Sunday are fantastic. They got, you know, the score from the first game ever. The Boston runes beat the Montreal maroons two to one, of course, before they were the happy

taunts of the Canadians. And they got some other cool little stuff on the bottom like toughness resiliency I actually forget the exact well it's not goal scoring toughness shut out last night no loss yeah yeah shut out uh tradition grit passion in heart. Wow. Yeah. Whose jersey is that? This is a Charlie McEvoy, Chuckie Mack, of course, actually signed it. Very cool.

Coolest thing that's ever happened to me with the Boston sports club without a doubt. Hey, congratulations. Where it wants to frame this bad boy. And the Bruins for being around for a hundred years. No big deal. Forcing the insufferability of your fans upon others for a hundred years. I'm happy, hey, congratulations. You're just lucky that Friday we don't have a program

because you guys are the Bruins are playing. I heard it's the hot Pittsburgh Penguins. Oh, the hot? Yeah. The hot Pittsburgh Penguins, okay. Yeah, what? The Ponzi Pittsburgh Penguins. No!

No, no, no. They're calling them. No, Marc-Andre Flory the Flower, which is what you're referring to, the pansy the flower, you know, the very beautiful and soft flower is no longer on the theme as you know. And I'll have you know we ruined his final day as Pittsburgh Penguins. This is a different squad. This is a different squad. We're flying around on the ice, aren't we? I mean, sitting across these fighting people. How are the Penguins doing back there? Great. No, we suck. What how are the penguins really good doing back there? Great now we suck. Yeah. No, it's not good. Hey, you said the Bruins been around for a hundred years How many Stanley Cups have you guys won? Look, I don't know numbers

Hundred number I'm not a numbers guy All I know is that we were one of the first six in that yes, these centennial tarps are glorious Look you six that was a number of six Hundred yeah It's a tough league boys. We all know this. Six in a hundred? When there was only six of you you couldn't win you couldn't wrap the score because the Detroit Red Wings were doing. I remember the Detroit Red Wings. Think about all of our damn championships. Yeah six we have six percent of lords down these cups mean look, I don't know how many of the peg ones have they got like eight or something Oh

Okay, how many years how many years when I came to the league in 67? Okay? Oh, you want to know why we only won six because most of our boys went to World War two to fight for America Okay, I know what the hell you want me to do there storm of the beach thank you for your business Korea Vietnam so sorry at the Boston Brewins players said you know what yeah we want to win Lord Stanley's Cup and maybe you

know in a hundred years from now it's bigger than us yeah exactly actually won two of their cups during World War II exactly placements they put their brothers on the team. Okay. They said, Hey, look, we're going to go fight this war. You boys take our spots. Here's the Jersey, same skates, same skates, same Jersey, same name on the back.

And I mean, those kids are fricking 15 years in honor of the boys. On fact, I just looked it up. The Bruins have been in the cup 20 times. We get there. We get there we get there We beat the absolute dog shit out of the Red Wings on Saturday lads. So I don't want to hear it We have 11 cups. Yeah, that's fine We can talk about you want to say about having cups the Ricky Mouse No, no offense no offense and look we don't live in the past. You know, I think that's the difference. I can sit here and talk about what has happened.

You know, I could rest on my. You are a hundred years of it. That's what you just did. Well, I mean, that's because this is tradition. This is a. Grit. Passion. Heart.

Heart, okay. You gotta talk about the hundred years. But I'm not talking about what's happened before and the cuts I've won before. I'm talking about what's happening right now. Yeah, of course. And that's us playing with our sack Joe Sacco. Yeah, and we're gonna Pull your sacks out. We're gonna continue to do that lay our sack on the line for Sacco You love that you felt so good. Yeah, I did it just it just happened to my in my brain right there

Hey, good luck. Good sack keep it going Sack. Let's put the puck in the net boys. Can't be having 30 shots, no goals man. Shout out last night and I think your two wins come from what one goal games and two goal games. One nothing two one bingo. You guys are big ten football on the ice. We're figuring it out right now. But once those gates open, oh boy, seven goals, eight goals. I'd be worried if I'm the Penguins, because that is the game you circle like, hey, we can get 10 on these boys, let's do that. Nobody said we'd get 10 on Sidney Cross.

We get 10 on these guys, once we do that. Not on Black Friday, no way. Definitely on Black Friday, that's kind of one of the days that you look to. That game's in Boston? In Boston. Oh, Sidney loves going to another garden, just doing some gardening. Not when they're wearing tires. He loves quiet barns.

Yeah, he does. Loves it. It's like he's out on a pond all by himself. Quiet barns. Yeah. Friday after blackout Wednesday. You know how many assholes are going to be in that barn? So many, so many, so many. Probably going to be the loudest barn you've ever heard in your life. Sid might, you know what? Nope. Healthy scratch. I don't want it. I don't want to ever say that. I don't want to do it. It's fighting people life. Sid might, you know what? Nope. Healthy scratch. I don't want it. I don't want to do it. Don't you ever say that. I don't want to do it.

Sid's fighting people still. Sid and Sako actually, Nick sent me a cool little story. Sid and Sako have a nice little relationship when Sako was up for coach of the year. Sako, yeah. Coach Sako, right? Coach of the year. In 2009, Sako went down to the gym at 6 a.m. guess who's in there?

Who? Sidney Crosby. Of course. He says hey Sid what do I got to tell my boys to get them playing like Sidney Crosby and they exchanged some thoughts some back and forth actually because of that there is rumblings that Crosby wants to play for Sackle. No. Yeah. 6 a.m. rendez no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no.

No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no.

had a nice little rendezvous in the gym six a.m. in Vegas one year. Okay, well congrats to the Bruins celebrating 100 years. Hell yeah. On Sunday. Here's to the next 100. And the next 100 is Sackle.

Yeah, and hopefully you guys remain at six forever. That won't happen. Not Coach Sackle. Not with Sackle. One half of the hammer that Cowboys AP tone is here and 12 year NFL vet former host of a hockey show yeah Super Bowl champion ladies and gentlemen a cute shit what's your shirt say there what's your shirt say there talk turkey to me

that's good thanksgiving thanksgiving yeah so what type of turkey do you want to talk? Dark turkey you like the leg. Yeah, I like deep fried or you don't like the I don't like the white meat The bland white meat bingo the flavorless white meat up here. That's right. Yeah Yeah, choke on it. Yeah, why do people do that? I don't know. I don't know how they operate I don't know people you know what they love. What are they don't you dare? Don't know. I don't know how they operate. I don't know people you know what they love. What are they don't you dare? Don't mashed potatoes They love mashed potatoes potatoes are so good and once again, I am NOT burying stuffing I like stuffing too both can be good and mashed potatoes happen to be fantastic now you can say well It's not about the mash potatoes about everything on it. All right, so

It's about everything that go with the mashed potatoes. Okay. Yeah, there are many things ice cream is good, right? It's great with hot sauce, too Chocolate syrup, you're talking. Of course. Hot buds. Hot sauce. There it is, there it is, yes, hot sauce. Hot sauce. Hot sauce and ice cream also plays.

I mean, there's a chance. But these are all these people that say these things about what they like. It kind of gives away like, we can't take you serious. Yeah. Because I don't know. Especially in food. I don't know how taste buds can be so different.

Like there's people that absolutely love that white meat. Like they'll have a leg, turkey leg on the plate and then a stack that just like look at the wood chipping white Meat right there and they're like, well, give me that and I have no idea how that's possible with the same That's because they dump a pound of gravy on it. Just like the mashed potato So it's actually gravy. It's the gravy they like they could eat anything yoga mats. It could be paper paper bingo cardboard That's right. You put enough gravy on they'll eat it and we just like say to your taste buds like Come on in waters fine grab a leg grab a drumstick this week this Thanksgiving couldn't bite into something. That's tender Tasty tasty feels you don't have to dump it on no you can eat it by itself

Oh great. It's terrible for you that white turkey meat is much better for you than that But let's not talk about everything else you're eating. That's gonna be terrible for you. That white turkey meat is much better for you than that. But let's not talk about everything else you're eating. That's gonna be terrible for you anyways. So you're already in. No matter what you eat, happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a great one watching football.

First game's gonna be good. Bears-Lions is gonna be good. Absolutely. Especially with how the Bears have been playing. Last game gonna be good, I think. Because, you know, Tua and the Dolphins for an entire off season have basically had to have a full conversation about like we can't play Nicole

We can't play Nicole. What is the weather being projected? First of all, happy birthday, Joe Nardo Happy birthday Joe You don't mean this miss you Joe this man is very dead, but he if he was alive his birthday would be right now He is the greatest weather man in the history They actually think that this man right here created a Doppler. Pretty sure. They just didn't want to call it the Donardo because they thought people wouldn't be able to act normal around him.

So they called it Doppler instead. But Joe Donardo's birthday, happy birthday to Joe Donardo, rest in peace Joe. Joe said it would, he did. And that's why we love Joe Donardo. Joe Donardo, fun fact, from the same hometown as A.Q. Shipley in Pittsburgh, Moontownship, A.Q. Shipley's a hater love Joe Nardo Joe Nardo fun fact from the same hometown as a Q Shipley in Pittsburgh moon township Mm-hmm a Q Shipley's a hater of Joe Nardo Because you think so in one big name can come out of moon township. That's me

Turn the corner on Joe. Oh really they have turned the corner. Yes way to go. You're forgetting about it No, glad he can enjoy it. Oh wait. No, we can't cuz he's fucking dead his family can Family can we say happy birthday? Joe? No Happy birthday Joe Donora. Will you thank him for representing me? Go give him a hug. Thank you Joe. Kiss him on the cheek. Maybe a kiss on cheek. Yeah. Don't do all that. You've kissed worse. The fact that you're going to do that I do appreciate and respect but uh what is the weather weather for this weekend or tomorrow in Green Bay? Kickoff gonna be 28 degrees and it's getting colder throughout the night And the reason why this is such a big combo is because the Miami Dolphins went out to Kansas City last year during the playoffs

And it was ice cold and they stunk It was bad Everything looked different than what they had looked like that got them into the playoffs Then they showed up in a cold and it wasn't enough of this They couldn't do enough of this. Uh-uh. Not enough. They couldn't do enough of this. The heated seats weren't heated enough. No.

The jet that just shoots about an area this big. This big. Everybody crouched. And everybody has to get in. Not enough. Now the Dolphins have heard that all off season. You guys are soft. You guys are soft.

Can't handle the cold. Can't handle the cold. Now they have an opportunity on Thanksgiving with the world watching. One half of the hammer, bad. Cowboys, Gumpy, massive Dolphins fan. How do you feel about the boys heading into ice cold Lambo? I feel good. This feels like a different team this year. You talk about Joe Newsmith, Jalen Ramsey, Dodds, who knew they just added, played for the Bills. I think this is a different team. I think they can get it done in the cold this year. Okay, so I think this conversation is a good one for college ball as well joining us now ladies and gentlemen the greatest coach in the history of college ball a man

who's a living legend actually in fantastic on television he was cold as shit last Friday in Columbus but on this Thanksgiving Eve I assume he's doing just fine ladies and gentlemen Nick Saban. Hey I'm. Thank you for making this work on a Wednesday because obviously we don't have a show on Friday. We'll be down there in Texas. You're the man for that. Let's talk about what we were just chatting about. I think you heard the end of that. The Miami Dolphins lose to the Kansas City Chiefs last year in the playoffs ice cold. Everybody says this team can't handle the cold. Now they got a Thanksgiving game going into Lambeau and they get a chance to kind of exercise the demons and showcase that they're

No, the newest college football playoff bracket Projected bracket now granted this can all change with the conference champions and everything like that has two SEC teams playing against each other again And then two Big Ten teams playing against each other and I don't think we'll ever get to the end of the argument Who's SEC Big Ten, who's the better, who deserves more if it ends up this way. This would be a travesty, Coach. I think this would be the biggest travesty of the 12-team playoff if it played out this way, Coach.

I agree. I also think that, you know, we've had this discussion before that, by giving the conference champions, when they're not the highest ranked teams the by what it really affects is the path to the championship and when you don't see the teams based on the quality of the total season performance so you know the number one seed should have technically the easiest path to the championship.

And that doesn't really happen when you allow conference champions to get seeded in the top four when they're not one of the top four teams. So I'm with you 100%. But I did have one comment when you were talking about, you know, Miami playing in cold weather and guys blowing on their hands. I just wanted to give them one coaching point that I got when I was a baseball player and I had a really tough coach and we'd blow on our hands when it was cold and you know how it feels when you hit that ball and you got cold hands and we'd blow on our hands and

his coaching point was don't blow on your hands. You're not allowed to blow on your hands. you know his coaching point was don't blow on your hands you're not allowed to blow on your hands stick them up your ass that's the same outcome you're saying it's the same outcome there either way that is the warmest part of your body right don't they don't they say that is the warmest part of the? The cold is a real equalizer and we had just started chatting about it this week really and I think you know anybody that's followed college football or got a chance to go around college football understands that the vibe across the entire southeastern conference is different than anywhere else and if you've never experienced it you

obviously can turn on a television watch any of these SEC games outside of Vandy any other year than this year and it is a romp it's all they got it is their religion it is their passion is their sport across the board now in the Big Ten obviously Penn State fills up a hundred some thousand Michigan fills up a hundred some thousand Ohio State fills up hundreds some thousand Oregon will be able to pack out whatever they want over there but across the board it's not everywhere is This insane environment so tough to win Obviously on the road in the southeastern conference the cold though being an equalizer as kind of the battle there

For some of these southern teams having to come up and play in the cold I think that is what the big ten would respond with in that argument like yeah Maybe our environment is a hundred some thousand and that's because our environment doesn't even make it conducive to happen but the cold weather I think is the equalizer in this entire thing for some of these Big Ten teams and if we end up with no southern teams going into the Big Ten Terrence boy that would be that would be a big miss that would be a big and then on the flip side, Big Ten schools having to go down into the south. That would be a travesty if we didn't have that. Don't you think, Coach,

legitimately you coach in the Big Ten and the SEC. That's two different, literally two different worlds of football there. I don't think there's any question about it, but I do think that the weather does impact the game. You know, the ball is harder to throw, the ball is harder to catch. It's harder to hold on to. You know you have these rules like I had a rule all the time which my guys hated, that if you are a ball handler or a ball carrier you couldn't wear sleeves. You know because I always thought that leaves made it slicker when you put three pressure points on the ball, the ball would slide out easier

and you'd be more susceptible to turnovers. All right, so it does have a huge impact. And the other thing is, is, you know, these young guys that play in the Southeastern Conference now, very few of them have ever played in cold weather. You know, at least in the NFL, like when I was at the Dolphins and we had to go play in Buffalo and New England and the New York Jets in December or January, the players at least got exposed to that to some point, and you had players on your team from all over the country,

so some of them were used to it. Well, these guys in the Southeastern Conference are probably not gonna be used to that, and it could have a huge impact on the game. Yeah, I think so too, especially with what happened, I mean, it's literally showcased in a lot of different situations you talk about the Dolphins getting to play in AFC East matchups up in the cold weather climates then whenever they got to Kansas City and it was literally frozen

they look like a completely different team that is a that is an equalizer for a team that might not be as fast a team that might not be able to throw it as much and for an environment that doesn't have hundred-some thousand last weekend on Saturday it was full chaos in the SEC brother I mean full chaos after that Indiana Ohio State game I thought Indiana's out I thought man there's gonna be enough they gave the committee an excuse to leave them like they gave them a reason to argue and then everything unfolds in the SEC the way it does with a lot of teams that are kind of down there and then Colorado

Loses and then army who's obviously also in the conversation loses, but the SEC full chaos this past weekend What does that mean you think what does that mean that? Every week that you win is a big win in these major conferences or what do you think is the big message out of what? happened on Saturday Yeah, well, I think what you know the playoffs have been a great thing for college football but I also think the playoffs have made people more outcome oriented. Like if a coach stands up and talks about getting into playoffs and you got to go to Oklahoma and play, I'm

just using Alabama as an example and you got to beat Auburn in the Iron Bowl, your focus needs to be on what do I have to do to play well in the game that I'm playing in. Like what's important now? What's important now is the game you're playing in now. The play that you're playing. The quarter that you're in. And all these teams are good enough, especially in the SEC.

It's such a deep conference, you know, that a five and five team is a good enough team to beat be you know Probably anyone in the conference So you can't ever let your hair down in any kind of way and not be psychologically ready to play and I think You know when you watch the game Things that are indicators that guys don't have the right mental intensity to play is miss tackles Guys missing blocks up front, guys dropping balls, you know those are kind of lack of concentration things that

come from not having the right mindset and that means you didn't approach it right in practice for that week and then when you show up for the game and you think you're just going to show up and win, you know it just doesn't happen that way. So you know it should be a lesson for everybody, but I think we have more roller coasters, you know, in college football right now than we've ever had before. I think part of that is,

is the players are temporarily committed. That's totally different than be totally committed to your team and to your performance. You know, these guys can be thinking about, well, I'm not getting enough playing time, I'm not catching enough passes Where am I gonna go next year? I mean all those things are distractions in terms of what your performance is and what your focus is on the task at hand

And what's your commitment to it is? Yeah, cuz you're not really playing for school Not and I'm not saying this is every not everybody not everywhere because obviously there's some places that have people all in playing the Right way, Oregon hasn't lost obviously they've had no hiccups there's other schools that are dominating everything like that but we were talking about this I think with Aaron yesterday about him catching up with his Cal teammates from 2004 20 years ago or whatever and they start telling stories or what it was and he was like it was an immediate reminder that we were like playing for each other you know like and that was what college always used to be college always used to be that way

I think that's why a lot of us older guys were old Screaming at the clouds like when these kids started sitting out of bowl games We understood the business decision, but it was like this one last time with the boys, too Like it was almost a it's a completely different mindset And I think it's all because what the world is right now. So I don't hold it against them, but how do you get people to stay committed to team? I don't know, you know, and the boys,

I'm not a hundred percent sure. I don't think there's any question that I agree with you a hundred percent that what we've created is a system that promotes self-indulgent behavior. In other words, how does this affect me? And, you know, we used to be on a team where the first thing you thought about is how does it affect the team? And

if you made a mistake or whatever, it killed you because you're letting your teammates down. I don't know if you can blame the players for this, but I think we can blame the system to some degree because it promotes this. I mean everything about the system promotes this. You're not as committed to your team. You can leave whenever you want. You got guys getting into portal in the middle of the season.

And then yeah, and then you got guys worrying about where they're going to go based on how much money they're going to make or how much plan time they're going to get. So a lot of these things have a...and these guys are 18, 19, 20 years old. So it's more difficult to handle those things when you're that age. I don't think I could have handled it when I was in college. I mean, it was enough for me to handle what I needed to handle and behave well enough to get by in those days. So I just think it's really, really difficult for these guys to stay focused at the level

they need to stay focused at. And you know, the real bottom line of it all is everything is based on performance. So what kind of value are you creating for yourself if you're not committed to doing being the best player that you can be? You're not creating value for yourself if you're not committed to doing being the best player that you can be? You're not creating value for yourself. You're not creating value for your future. It's going to affect where you get drafted.

So I mean, all these things are like, you know, anti-development, I call it, which is not a good thing for college players. Both football and human, you know, I mean, that is, and I think about if I was at this age, with this time, with this access to money, there's no way I would remain focused on kicking footballs. No chance. With this thing right here, what, and I can make a deer, a beard disappear in a half a second?

Okay, cool. All they're gonna do is do this, put it up on the internet, then I can sell merch. It's like, there's so many, for a lot of people, you know, sports was an avenue to change the trajectory of your family tree. Okay, so I was one of those people. I think there's a lot of those people that are in there. Akeush was one of those guys. Like that was the main goal. That was the, hey, this is what we're working towards. This is how we do this. And I wasn't perfect by any means, but it was like trying to get to the money.

But now you can get to the money and you don't really that's like uh if these kids are able to remain mentally tough and focused it's almost like they're way better than we ever were the kids that could do that but I could see how the distractions would get it would have got me like that I mean there would have been no you too probably 100 I mean there is no chance so good on these dudes that are able to stay focused but I do think we're losing some shit. You know I think we're I think we're losing some shit Any question about it and you know one of the great things about sports all sports all being a part of a team you know that's that's a hell of an experience how to work with other

people how to buy into principles and values how to trust and respect and those things how to trust and respect your teammates how, how to trust and respect your teammates, how to have the kind of work ethic you needed to be successful, to reach your potential, to persevere through good and bad times, to learn from failings, to deal with success, to overcome adversity, to pride in performance. I mean, you got all these things that were great virtue of athletics that we all learned and I if I didn't play on teams when I was growing up and in college and have the opportunity to be involved in a team I could have never had the kind of

successful career that I had you know as a coach or even in business or anything else because those lessons are not something that you can learn everywhere in our society, but you certainly can learn them by being a part of a team. Yeah, everything you just said there about sports is why we love it. You know, that's why we love it. I mean, and I don't know if you mentioned it there. I tried to listen to all the gospel you were preaching there

that we love and the church of sport is a beautiful one. Working when you're tired too, like that's a whole that's whole another thing like well I'm tired while the game don't care like the game is gonna happen You have to play in it So you either figure the shit out or work through it or you're gonna not be you're gonna get embarrassed Yeah, so it's like all those things I think are crucial to development of humans and to your your point, without it, I would be nowhere near the human. I wouldn't be. I'd be flipping. The driving force that we all had to Pat was none of us wanted to be irrelevant.

You know, nobody wants to be irrelevant. I mean, if you think back when you were kids and we would pick a baseball team, you know, and they put the bat, who gets picked, you know, everybody wanted to get picked. Nobody wanted to be irrelevant. So now what is the value of being somebody that somebody wants to pick? I mean, have we destroyed that? I mean, would you pick yourself? If you're out there as a player that's leaving your team after four games or in the middle of the season or whatever I mean would you pick yourself I think nobody wants and nobody talks about the dudes that just they say

they're hitting transfer portal and then guess what you live there now yeah you know everybody hears the story of like somebody hitting the transfer portal getting signs of our cam ward gets paid big he's down in Miami. They completely changed their entire franchise. You hear that story. What you don't hear about is the wide receiver that maybe didn't get enough balls one year somewhere and hits transfer portal thinking that the grass is gonna be greener.

And guess what? Fucking desert, brother, there's no grass. You know, so it's a wild time in college ball, but somehow you gotta remain focused. At this part of the season though, there are some big situations that could brew. Conn man's got a question for you. Yeah coach this didn't happen to your team but a lot of these teams are going into the rivalry weekend really have nothing to play for

but to ruin their rival season. As one of those coaches who is coaching one of the teams that you know is still playing for something still can go get it still can go to the playoff. How do you address your team when you know going into this week, like, hey, this is the other team's Super Bowl. Like if we don't have complete focus, then our rival is going to hang their hat on their entire off season

because they beat us during this game. Yeah, well, the one thing that I always try to do, and it was always difficult in this game, you know, when we played in the Iron Bowl, you know, at the end of the season, and you know, sometimes we had a lot on the line and we needed to in this game, you know, when we played in the Iron Bowl, you know, at the end of the season. And, you know, sometimes we had a lot on the line and we needed to win that game and it probably meant more to them because it would be something that would save their season. But yet we were playing for more than just that game.

So and understanding the importance of these rivalry games to the fans and bragging rights for the year and all that but the anxiety that's created by the multiple of it is a big rivalry game which means a lot but the consequences of that means something in the future was always something and I tried to manage because you know to me having too much anxiety Is not good for performance. So you wanted the players to be able to stay in the right place psychologically so they can go out there and compete and have fun and not worry about the outcome so much that it affected their performance. You've heard me say this before, our team in whatever year we lost to Tennessee

in the last play of the game up there, lost to LSU on the last play of the game. Our team, I hate to say we choked and I don't mean it that way, but there was so much anxiety because those guys were so concerned about winning those games that they made mental errors at the end of the game that they typically would not make because the anxiety overcame them in terms of focusing on the results. So the thing that I always try to do is, hey, play one play at a time like it has a history of a life of its own. Stay focused on that.

That's what creates value for you. And you're not going to dominate the competition on the first play of the game. It's going to take 50 plays to do it. So you got to keep grinding. You know, that's the way I always try to play. I try to get them to stay in the moment as much as I could, and I always thought that was helpful, and the teams that didn't do that didn't have success.

Okay, so on that note, AQ has a question for you, because this is a new setup with the way this 12-team playoff's gonna operate. Yeah, Coach, every single team is gonna have about a month layoff going into this. What did you always tell your teams when you have that long of a layoff and how did you keep them staying sharp during that whole process? Yeah well I was different than everybody else you know and in my early days as a coach I

always tried to practice the team from the momentum of the end of the game to the next game which was like you say, it's a long time in between. And we played horrible. I mean we were horrible. Not bad, horrible. Alright, so then I got to the point where I just said, let's approach it like a one game season.

And I would look at the date that we were going to play and I'd go back to where we could have 10 or 11 practices and then whatever time was left in between, I just said, Hey, you guys lift weights. We can have seven on seven amongst yourself. The coaches aren't going to be around. I don't want you to focus on this psychologically until we start practicing, you know, 10 or 11 days before the game. We'll do a little conditioning to try to keep you in shape.

And that's how we approach it. And we played a hell of a lot better. All right. Because you you know, if you practice too long for a game, to me, your team is going to be flat by the time you get to the game. So. Like a lot of things we did ask backwards, that probably was asked backwards, but it was. Yeah, because cuz team gets exhausted of it I assume you know yeah you just anytime people get bored with stuff you know and I'm not saying athletes get bored with competition but if it's just

the same thing every single day for a month you could see how people would get sick of it 10 to 11 days before the game sounds like a genius idea still getting a little extra bonus yeah prep we're keeping the guys in shape, and they don't hate us. They don't hate us by the end of this. That's not a bad play. And AQ told me one time that Paterno did something where the starters for that first two, three weeks or whatever only did individuals,

and then underclassmen who weren't starters, they did the team stuff. And then once, just like Coach said, they're like 10 days before the game, then they got back into that normal practice. It was like training camp almost. And I mean, you only played a few of those games. Yeah, you know, that's all how many how many years were you at Bama? 17 how many years were you guys in like a big-time game? Do you know?

I think 11 Well 14 depends on how you figure it. We were in the playoffs 12 times. Okay. And I think so, you know, people talk about the seven that we won, but I focus on the five that we lost, whether we got the championship game or, you know, and the playoffs in the first round. And most of the time, it was something that we could have done better. You know, it was something that was avoidable. And that's the hardest thing, you know, when you're a competitor, or whether it's a coach

or player, if you lose because of something that you could have avoided through better preparation or, you know, better knowledge and experience. And I always felt like, except for one time when, you know, we played Oklahoma and Miami in the Orange Bowl, and then we had to go to out there to California to play Clemson. And we got out there four days before the game. So it was a tough trip. There was eight days in between games. We were as far away as we could be. The travel was tough.

The preparation was tough. And then we got out there and it rained and there was no place in San Jose to practice. So we didn't get to practice. And we just, we got our ass handed to us. That's the only game that I felt like we just we got our ass handed to us that that's the only game that I felt like we just got beat okay so should have 11 national championships you know that's that's the thought you've done good coach we're so thankful we get to

talk to you every single week legit and the fact that you're you're a hilarious dude too I get a chance to do dinner with this guy on Friday nights lucky to do that what a time you're a hilarious dude how about. I get a chance to do dinner with this guy on Friday nights. Lucky to do that. What a time. You're a hilarious dude. How about O's? Hey, how about O's the Mentalist? That was wild, wasn't it? Yeah. That motherfucker's a demon. He is, isn't it?

He might be, Coach. Legit. That guy might be a demon. Yeah, you're right. I don't know. I FaceTimed O's from dinner because we had talked about O's to Coach Saban over the last couple of weeks. It's like, hey, you needed this thing, this thing. Yeah, but he didn't get the score of the game right.

You said 34-27. Bingo. It was 38-11. I was paying special attention to that. Hey, he would say, I assume, well, they're going to play again. That's probably, you know, he'll probably say that they'll have a chance to play again,

but the Niners don't get going soon. I don't know if they're going to be meeting each other again in the future. All right, let's talk a little bit about the playoff judgment again. And Coach, obviously, your thoughts are very important on this. Tone has a thought. Yeah, Coach, there's some teams out there like Texas Notre Dame, Penn State, Indiana, who a lot of people are saying, you know, they haven't played anything, anybody or beaten anyone good yet. If you were on the committee

and say their strength of schedules are pretty even and their records pretty even, what would you look at if you were determining their ranking? Like when you're watching film or something like that, what would be most important to you? Well, you know, I hate to make comparisons, but I actually think they get it closer to

right in basketball because they have all these RPI things and, you know, strength of schedule who you beat, how many good teams you beat, not necessarily how many you played, but how many you beat. I think that should be a real consideration. But I do think as we boil down to this, you know, like right now, hard to reward a team with three losses, especially the kind of losses that Ole Miss had and like Alabama's had to, you know, pretty 500 teams I'm going to call them so pretty average, you know teams Where you know you got? You know you you got some other teams that maybe they didn't play the same competition

But they didn't lose games to average teams either so I think that matters and the only team that could have an argument to get in with three losses if Georgia actually plays in the SEC Championship game, they really shouldn't be penalized if they would happen to lose the game. They would end up with three losses. But I don't think a team that didn't play in the championship game that has two losses should get in, especially if they played a good game and it wasn't a blowout.

So, yeah, we want to put the college football playoff committee. I think Reese does too every week he asked him like, hey, can you just say that if you play in the SEC championship, you're good? Or if you play in the Big Ten championship, you're good? Can you say that these are the two leading conferences this year? And they said, well, just, you know, obviously we hold championships in high regard. We will watch how they play in those games.

So I think what they're saying, Ward Manuel's saying, without saying anything, is like, if they look like a good team, we will reward them for being in the championship. But if they get steamrolled in this thing, it's like it will be held against them. It's kind of, we're trying to read through the lines there, but I think they will get rewarded if they end up playing in the championship. I think naturally humans in that place will reward that. I hope at least. But the subjective part of this that you can never fix is the conferences are not equal. They're not equal in depth of good teams nor are they equal in the quality of the best teams. So to give you an example let's just take Ole Miss so I stay away from this whole Alabama thing. So if Ole Miss played

in the Big 12 what would their record be? That's the kind of subjective issues that we have in college football that's never going to change unless we take the best 40 teams in college football and put them in a league very similar to the 32 teams that are in the NFL and then the competition level is probably going to be more equal so that now you could actually say beating good teams because you're playing good teams all the time you know I've always said that we should play all nobody should play Mercer nobody should play a one double way school everybody should have to play these top 40 teams and then you'd have a

better idea of okay who are the best teams here. But consistency and performance means something and that's why in Ole Miss and Alabama's case they didn't have consistency and performance. They lost to teams they probably shouldn't have lost to so there should be a penalty for that as well. But then the counter argument not that SEC needs more counter arguments, but like in the NFL right now, a week after you play the Lions, teams are like, oh, and 11 or something like that. So it's like you in the deeper conferences, we'll say Big 10 and SEC right now, like big

games every week means something too, as opposed to like a big game, JV game, big game game JV game, which some of these things are in once again I just got baptized in the college football world like four years ago So I'm just kind of watching it But if it did since it is going to a revenue share model seemingly go into a salary cap model is seemingly what everything Is kind of going towards April 8th. We'll get the fun ruling on it Do you think there's ever a chance for that top 40 league to ever happen? That would be a lot of people agreeing to a lot of shit, right? Sankey would have to talk to Patiti. Patiti would have to talk to all these other people

It would be the NCAA would have to get that'd be a lot of people that would have to agree on something, right coach? A lot of people would have to agree on something, but you know, like I always say it's not about the money It's about how much but if you had a league like that I always say it's not about the money, it's about how much, but if you had a lig like that, they would be able to have a better TV contract, more revenue, and a lot of decisions are getting made in college athletics now, which is different than it used to be in the old days about what are the financial consequences of all this. So I do think there's a possibility, although I agree with you, it would be a ton of changes. Yeah, there'd be a lot of people

having to agree to a lot of things. And a lot of people having to succeed a lot of things, and then obviously a lot of people getting used to brand new things. It'd be crazy. And we just, we can't lose what college ball is though. Mm-hmm. You know?

But one of the things that is gonna happen too is even if we have revenue sharing, how many actual teams out there can afford to do 20 million dollars to pay players and still be able to function, you know, in the programs that they have? So they're either going to have to drop sports or not be able to compete because they can't afford to pay the players. Geez, I thought that money was just automatically popping out of thin air. That's what I thought was happening.

What the hell? I didn't know that. I thought that money was just showing up. I actually never even thought about how the money's getting. I'm just like, all of them. Everybody's getting the same. It's like, no, you got to produce that now. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wild time to be alive. Coach, can't wait to see you down in Texas. Happy Thanksgiving. What are we doing for the holiday? This'll be the first time in a long time that we don't have 25 players over for Thanksgiving, which I always enjoyed. It was a great experience to spend time with players

in a non-football atmosphere. But it's also something we're looking forward to for the first time to just have family. To just have family there. So that's gonna be great. But I wish you guys a great Thanksgiving. It's great holiday. It's time for us to all have gratitude

for all the things that we have and not focus so much on what we don't have. So it's a good thing. We're grateful is out for you. Ladies and gentlemen, the goat. Tell Ms. Terry and the family we said happy Thanksgiving. Nick Saban. Thank you coach. That is good mindset anymore. Tell miss Terry and the family we said happy Thanksgiving Nick Saban

Is good mindset anymore mm-hmm So no about well you don't have like a Q's calves you ever seen this guy's calves my god, holy shit I want them pop through the jeans. He's got to wear those belt bottoms just so he can get his calves You gotta be in pledge. You should see a sweatshirt earlier. I want that thing too. Oh, yeah. It was like this Yeah, it was just like that one. I had different words. Yeah kind of celebrating trade deadline Day yeah, yeah teams got better teams got worse. That's right. Our team got better whenever coach Saban You know decided to join us every single week We got to do the entire last season of his career. Yeah Yeah, right. We're on the field under the last game of his career yeah yeah right we're on the field

under the last game of his career yeah last couple plays yeah running down a sideline with him that is a moment there has to be a camera somewhere that captured that for sure i'm literally right next to coach saban as we're going into overtime yeah good luck coach ah there's no way we're supposed to be d butt runningt running behind AJ dragging his shit. You know, I don't want to run. Okay, we're on the field. There's no way we would have made it if we would have run around. No.

Shots of college bowling must be a part of some of this shit. Yeah, incredible. Pasadena is awesome. The Rose Bowl is crazy. Getting in, getting out. Need a chopper. I don't know how that works. I need a chopper.

But that place is beautiful. Yeah. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's a multiple time Super Bowl champion. Need a chop. How's that works? I need a chop. But that place is beautiful. Yeah. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's a multiple time Super Bowl champion. He's a former general manager. He's a Ted Talker.

He's a live show host. He's a podcast host. He's an email newsletter founder. Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Lombardi. Yeah, Lombardi. What's up, guys? Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Appreciate you having me.

Happy Thanksgiving to you. Thank you for moving up a day. Obviously, we're gonna be off for two days, so we're trying to get all our friends in. We're so thankful that you're able to make time for us. Turkey, ham guy, what is your go-to? I'm a fat guy. I eat everything.

I mean, there's nothing on that plate that I'm not going to eat. You know, I mean, come on now. I mean, I'm not a, I'm not a, the only thing I'm not touching is the, is the pumpkin pie. You can have that. I'll eat apple. I'll eat any other kind of pie, but the pumpkin you can have. But you know, I'm a carb guy, so the stuffing is going to be a tough thing to stay away from. Bingo. You know the deal. You've already said it.

Lasagna? Yeah, what type of lasagna we got at the Lombardi family on there? There's only one kind. My wife makes an incredible lasagna. It's with a bechamel sauce. It's got meat in it. It's really good. And that's the best way to start an incredible lasagna. It's with the bechamel sauce. It's got meat in it It's really good. And that's the best way to start I mean you just eat your way through it then you drink your way through the night as we watch To and navigate under 40 degree weather which he hasn't been able to do so well and we get to watch how great is Lambeau Field? On Thanksgiving night to see the pageantry of that and the fans all I mean I couldn't think of a better setting

to end the night than in Lambeau Field watching the Dolphins play the Packers. It might have a Steelers Browns type snow although they're not calling for it you never know you literally never know whenever the weather gets that cold it'll be 27 I think a kickoff then in the afternoon Tommy Cutlets is not looking likely to play for the New York Giants. They say Drew Locke probably going to be the starter for the Giants taking on the Dallas Cowboys. And let's talk about that first game there. 1230 in the middle of everybody's meal or hangout time. Caleb Williams and the Bears who've been playing well just came in a close game against the dominant Detroit Lions. How do we feel about that game, Lambeau? What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think, look, you know, this Detroit team has been so good, but the one thing we haven't

seen them is dominate on Thanksgiving Day, right? I mean, I think that they are a team that has been, that have won on that haven't been able to cover their own three straight up on the holiday, their two and one against the spread. So I think to me, this is kind of an important now they're going into the game with injuries. David Montgomery says he's going to play. Amon St. Brown says he's going to play. But look, a 10 and a half point dog, I think this Lions team has been so good. They don't take anybody lightly. They play to a standard. You know, you just had Nick on and Nick was so big about this in terms of when he was coaching and what he wanted his team to do. It's a Belichickian principle. We played it was standard, right?

We played as something that's bigger than the one loss record bill Walsh wrote a book called the score takes care of itself That's what he's talking about. And that's what impresses you most about this Lions team. I think for the Bears They've got to play better defense You know look man, Iber Fluss's scheme is all predicated on, can we get four guys to bother the quarterback? Because we're going to play zone. Last week they play Minnesota. They sack Montez Sweatt, sacks him on overtime, sacks Sam Darnold for a six yard loss. What happens? They throw two check downs and get a first down. Because they're playing zone and there's too many easy throws. The great Bud Carson, the former defensive coordinator, head coach of the Cleveland Brownss he used to say all the time if you don't harass the receivers or harass the quarterbacks

they're going to throw it too good they're going to throw it too well and they're going to be at 70% and that's what happens to these teams that run this game. It's crazy I feel like this is no offense to anybody okay this is no offense anybody none taken but you could be a really good D coordinator if you have four guys that can get to the quarterback. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's kind of- Yeah, sure you can.

Like, I don't want to say anybody, but if you have some football knowledge and you have four great D linemen and you can get to the quarterback, you can do a lot of shit. That frees up a lot of things for a lot of players and a lot of teams, which leads me to, is that the Niners problem, you think? What is your thought on? Is that the Niners issue you think

that's exactly what the Niner issue is. Look, they've had so many great players in that defensive front, but they've lost them right to me to run the Niner scheme, to run the jet scheme, to run the Indianapolis scheme, to run the scheme that these teams of Iberflu, Chicago that are zoned teams that want to be able to drop seven, read the quarterback's eyes and then break on the ball. You have to have at least two blue chip players in the defensive front and at least three red chip players. You've got to be really good.

You've got to be really good. Unfortunately, for the 49ers, losing hard graves graves they don't have a three technique. See here's the problem, the hardest thing to find in football besides a left tackle is a three technique, a dominating three technique. Why is the Eagles so good? Jalen Carter is in shape and he's playing great. Three techniques are hard to find because the Warren saps of the world that you have to slide the protection to all the time. Those guys create more problems

than the edge rushers who you could chip. But when you've got a slide and then you have another player inside who can beat one on one blocks, it's tough. And I think the Niners losing all those players, they have Bosa, but then they don't have any really red chips or blue chips in their line and that affects their coverages. Feels like it's easy to read if a defense is good or not by if their defensive line is good. Now on the offensive side, it's easy to read if a defense is good or not by if their defensive line is good. Now on the offensive side, it's easy to tell if they're good if the offensive line is good.

AQ has a question for you, Lambeau. Yeah, Lambeau, I watch film every week and I find three great offensive lines and then after that it's like a, it's a crap shoot to find four and five, right? Why do you think there are so few offensive line that are very good right now? I think a lot of it is by the

collective bargaining agreement. I think because when you started in the league and when I started in the league, you know, we had Kirk Ferrens coaching our offensive line and we could go inside and take guys like Orlando Brown and Wally Williams, guys that weren't drafted, and put them in that indoor facility and work on their fundamentals and get them better and really coach them and get an offseason program into it. I think a lot of it has to the fact that we're having a hard time training them. And then Bill Parcells used to say this all the time, we can only take from colleges what they give us.

Right? And in college, everybody's at a two point stance. Nobody's rolling their hips. Nobody's coming off the football. Everybody's just side blocking and we're not getting development. And so the process of getting an offensive lineman is further behind now than it ever was, even when they were running the wishbone in college, right? And so we drafted Shaq Mason in the fourth round.

He never passed protected in his life. And that was a good thing. You know why? He didn't have any bad habits. So when you take a guy like that, you can teach him. And I think development's been really bad. And I think the obvious is there's just not enough players I think you've got to look differently you've got to find some defensive linemen that aren't very good

that were wrestlers in high school that were also played offensive line in high school and get them over to the offensive line. Yeah wrestlers seemingly offensive linemen who have a wrestling background are good because leverage and they know everything like that. How are you as a wrestler in high school? I won my first match and then I lost 17 straight and I went right back to basketball. That a baby. AQ's an anomaly. He was terrible at wrestling. Chip, I love your honesty. 100%. You could have lied and we would have believed it. I was a damn good basketball player though. No we weren't. He's a high school Hall of

Fame basketball player but his wrestling record is shite Absolutely shite. All right last question here because we're running up against a tie has one for you Lambo What about the Black Friday game Chiefs Raiders? Obviously last year the Raiders beat the Chiefs on Christmas Day But this Raiders team this year is just a complete shit show just awful and then the Chiefs on the other side I mean, they're still winning but kind of the same deal They haven't put everything together. They escaped Carolina who's playing a little bit better But how do you see that game on Friday shaken out?

I don't think Andy Reid has to do any motivation because Antonio Pierce took care of that for him in the offseason Because remember when Antonio Pierce said they've got the magic formula to beat Patrick Mahomes, right? We're gonna find out on Black Friday I don't think that's true and they're playing worse defense this year with Antonio Pierce as their head coach than they were last year when he was just the interim. So to me, there's problems in Raider land. And look, last time they played in Kansas City on Christmas Day, Aiden O'Connell didn't complete a pass after the second quarter. After the first quarter, there was no more completions by him and

he's gonna start this game. I think this is gonna be a route for the Chiefs. think the Raiders are in what we're gonna see over this week And the two teams who might be picking first in the draft the Raiders and the Giants Okay. Wow. All right before we get out of here that seems like a futures bet Do you have any picks for the weekend that we need to be I do I love that You know what? I love I love the Chargers this week. I really love the Chargers. Everybody thinks it's gonna be a short week I think Jim Harbaugh will get his team ready. I think if Quentin Johnson catches a couple passes, that game's closer, even though I was on the Ravens in that game.

But I like the Chargers. Anytime Atlanta plays a tough-minded team with physicality, they struggle. I think this Charger team bounces back. Okay. It's a long flight over there. You talked about being on the Ravens. 70% of the money we were on the Ravens. I was on the Ravens. The entire Hammer Don show was on the Ravens. The Monday Night Football Countdown show, everybody on it was on the Ravens. It's wild that that hit. I'm thankful it did though. Happy Thanksgiving Lambeau. We love you man. Same to you guys. Thank you for having me. Appreciate you. Thanks Pat. Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Lombardi. Yeah, Lombos. All right, as we wrap up this hour one of Thanksgiving Eve, we can't thank enough Ram Trucks.

Thank you very much. I don't know if you've seen the newest news out of hockey tie

This happened during the first hour Brad Marchand. Yeah the captain The captain of the Boston Bruins? Is potentially on the trade block. Shut up. What? That is not the noose. That is not. There's a massive if.

That's a hat tip for Chris Johnston, who I certainly don't know who the hell it is, but if this is out. He knows. He's a good reporter. He knows. Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Mr. Johnston.

I love Chris Johnston. I've probably seen his work I didn't know it was him. That's on me hockey is awesome. It's a bingo That's 12 year NFL vet host of a hockey show that he just quit out of nowhere a few years back Super Bowl champion a Q Shipley baby cute here to reunite him with Sid. I mean they're boys their hometown boys He's supposed to be a penguin to read that first sentence If the Bruins don't turn things around, Bradmore or Sean could become a trade king You can cut it at if the Bruins don't turn things around. If the Penns win on Friday That's potentially. That might be the final nail in the coffin. You're winning. You know for a fact Sackle's got these boys going

Okay, so we can we can do the if this if that if this. I'm not doing it Chris Okay, so we can we can do that if this if that if this I'm not doing it Chris Johnston's do it exactly Yeah, and we can and we can stoke that flame We can act as though this is real sack goes cut the boys flying around the ice like they never That for now just like I said wait till we put up six in the first period against the penguins Just like the Dallas stars did and then don't put don't compare yourself to Texas What happened what happens when we go to Strong Island tonight? Show those islanders what the hell real puck's all about. Oh, you're going on the island?

Uh-huh, yeah, we'll be on the island tonight and we'll beat the shit out of those poopy islanders and then we'll come back to Boston. Speaking of beat the shit out of somebody, shout the biz. Shout the biz. I heard him tell the story, I listened to him tell the story on Spitton Chicklets. Yeah, he just put his finger in his face.

Nobody was looking around about 15 seconds. I come over, hey bud, this is over. And then I guess he gets into a full brawl with six to seven people. I had six people end up getting arrested. And this goes from inside bar to he loses a shoe outside at one point. This is in Phoenix So I think it was in a rock area goes through a parking lot again

He's fighting six people into the front of a CVS around a dumpster loses his other shoe loses shirt Get some income some guy comes in buckle guy. I started the entire thing goes into CVS cops show up They arrest this crew straight out of a movie that all got their asses beat by one guy. Look at their faces, obviously they're all disheveled and they're taking mugshot pics so they're not going to be pumped up at all. But just know that Paul Bizonet, Biz Nasty, who's a spitting chick, was a former hockey guy, former stick gloves, sweater guy for a living, that's out of a movie.

And Biz being the perfect guy for that to happen to, thank you for your service, Biz. Yeah, baby Biz, he's like family guy. Inside the restaurant. He didn't have a scratch on him. This is what he looked like. This is what the one guy who fought them all looked like. And that's why hockey is awesome.

Okay, that is just what it, and then he even said, he wishes he could forego all the charges, just go one V one against all of them behind some barn somewhere. And just one after another, and it's like six dudes trying to fight one guy. They all get arrested. They all end up looking like Jay Leno. Wow. Jay Leno filed on a very steep hill. That was 44 feet.

And they don't look like Jay. Jay looks like he got beat by Biz actually one on one. Yeah, he got beat by four business Yeah, it was six business on one Jay. Let it is what Jay Leno's face look like but we're happy to hear he's okay The hammer dad Cowboys AP Tony's here Houston's I assume the which is the place in which this all started have ever been to Houston's where's Houston? No, it's a trade on Scottsdale Road. It's a good place.

Is it bar lounging? It's upscale American bar food, I guess. I guess they don't. There's a bar and then like a good restaurant. At the bar, they don't serve people who don't have seats and those six golfers, they needed a drink and now. Now. And they start finger pointing at the general manager.

You can't do that. Can't do that, business house. No, that's disrespect Biz, I become friends with the staff I know these people Biz stopping by Houston's all the time Is anybody going to stop these assholes? Okay

Alright Everyone's looking When Biz is walking over there to them Do you think in his head he's going I'm about to fuck up six dudes Yeah Is that his mindset? Absolutely, yeah

Four Houston's by the way Yeah, this is for the good of this place. Yeah, he's got a jersey on underneath his jacket I'm sure. What a fucking dog. Hockey's awesome. He said he fought for the French onion soup. What's that? He said he fought for the French onion soup. Oh, good infallibility. They probably got that cheese right off the top of it.

That's what started. He actually, one of those guys knocked over. His on the way in. Yeah, I'd fight for that. The server was bringing in the French honey soup up here. Behind, behind. This is business. And one of those pull-a-boom, boom. Pfft.

Now you did it. Yeah. Now you did it. Am I? I love those stories in real life. And then he beat six dude's ass, asses, and they go to jail, not him. Yeah.

That's good. That's a big- I think the world's coming back. That's America. Hey, that's good. Shout out. I love that. And everybody's just jail not him. Yeah, that's good. That's a big I think the world's coming back. That's America Hey, that's good. I love that and everybody's just agreed. Yeah You know actually the seventh guy deserved it too, but he just kind of backed out They learned a lot about that guy in the group that got away there. Huh? Anyways joining us now as a man who I hope Has an opportunity to have this moment something. Mm-hmm He's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion.

What? A Ryder Cup winner. What? Former president of the state of Ohio. God, just imagine somebody coming up like his kids and their friends. It's like a group of six dudes and polos that just got done golfing.

And he gets a chance to get up and see Red. Cheesecake factory parking lot. Did you take all the grilled chicken? Who's going to eat the bland ass rice? You or me? That's what I thought. Sauce them all down. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hock.

Yay, Hocker. Thank you for that, Hock. We know you would do that. We know you would do that. For the factory, yeah. I mean, it would be funny to get into a big old bra cheesecake factory and have it spill into the parking lot. That'd be amazing.

And then into another business' parking lot. What was everybody else doing? What's everybody doing when he was, when Biz was taking on all these dudes? There has to be a video somewhere. There has to be a video somewhere. He said it would. He said in his video, like there's surveillance footage there. He's like, it'll come out.

I mean, is he, cause is he just bang, pow, is he like knocking one square and then back up? Is he like, you've obviously we've seen like Bruce Lee videos, like back in day taking on groups and obviously Steven Seagal has has taught us how to take on Yes Detroit PD guy all this bingo that we've seen all these recreations on the internet What's it like in real life with six drunk whites? Fresh off a golf course who are in need of a drink right now coming after what is the plan of attack how many kicks do you think you think he got

any kicks out to you think Billy had to any side said he said he would he was saying he would hit him and he'd kind of like have to back up because he said they all didn't jump him at once so like take care of this guy oh back up I see you coming like he had a good plan it sounded like well he said he did get kicked twice in the head. Yeah once in his shoulder Yeah, he said all right back up obviously Buckled him. He's all the bald guy coming Yeah, I was a good mother guy that started the whole thing he'd be lines through the holes What do you think those six drunk guys are thinking? What is? What do you think those six drunk guys are thinking? What is this?

What are we doing? They'd be so embarrassed. They'd be so embarrassed. Normally we beat the shit out of this guy Obviously a little different today Spending time in jail for that get your ass beat by one guy and then you spent a couple families I think I saw a couple of simple last names. There's a couple of ones that were different in there That's a tough time at the golf course They all shot a fucking hundred to me No doubt how many sleeves of balls were lost by those told us the thought of them throwing punches looking at each other like Still going what's wrong with who is this guy joining us now?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a guy who maybe has been in this situation before. We don't know. There's a chance. He's in the Bull Ring of Honor for the Easton Texans, we're only three people. He's a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Wednesday and it's JJ Watt. Yay!

JJ! Did you know in the city, obviously it's a play for the Cardinals and have a home and everything like that, that you could potentially go hang out at a restaurant and get an opportunity to beat the hell out of six drunk dudes? Did you know that this would happen? I wish I knew earlier, because this is about three minutes down the road from me. That would have been a lot of fun. Could you imagine you and Biz, imagine JJ showing up just walking out of his car and Biz is like, any one of them. That's what I don't get, man. I'm trying to picture, like there has to be some

footage somehow. CVS has to have a camera. Houston's has to have a camera, but six dudes on one. Like, Biz is a badass of badasses, obviously. Of course course How the are you not take like is it like okay? You take a turn is like a line like to plant lightning and basketball with like all right my turn now my turn Or are they like six dudes just around the guy. I'm so confused Just spinning around I don't know incredible he had to have kicked right at some point he had to have kicked I assume there's lost both shoes So probably the barefooted kid to like you see I wonder how long I'm just thought to himself although. Oh my god rock Yeah

Cuz that hurts that hurts in the middle of it. I'm sure you don't feel it, but he woke up the next day Boy, yeah, my dogs are barking. He looked good though. I mean he looked good handsome Yeah, taking six guys on now seeing the mug shots like You're like, okay now I can see it a little bit more like they're they didn't exactly look like the Peaky Blinders out there you know, but they Actually, they did look like they're kind of They've eaten their fair share of food and they look like they think they're tough I would say that yeah But they don't look clearly look like they can actually're tough, I would say that, but they don't look clearly, look like they can actually brawl.

Oh, very big faces. Fantastic restaurant and can definitely attest to the people, there's a Hillstone and a Houston's here, both the same family. That restaurant is worth fighting for. It's a good restaurant. Hell yeah, okay. Hell yeah, Biz.

We appreciate you, Biz. Good work, Biz. Hockey is absolutely awesome. And I think that's a great testament to what hockey is, by the way. Yeah, amen yeah amen okay willing to just go fight a group of friends for a restaurant hockey guy mm-hmm yeah that's good for hockey what happened did no other patrons pop up to help out after the fight started by the way like I get that maybe this is the first one to defend which is ridiculous in its own

right where's everybody else but then once the brawl starts like somebody get in there and pull some people off. So Ziet has learned more. He did have to get a vitamin toroidal shot the next day I guess to relieve some of the pain in which he felt because he did get kicked in the head and arm a couple times. He said he was shocked I guess he did say that nobody else jumped in he was like what? Sorry, you just watching somebody get his ass kicked like what's going on how cool that bit of Jade was rolling in the CVS You know just happened to park that car. Yeah, just see biz Three and a half minutes, I think is the length of time that's so well He had to be those dudes had to be so good. Oh my god I assume everyone saw the fight and was like I don't want to ruin this story. He's handled himself

Okay, the one on six is a cool thing Yeah, he's got it. Let him go. He's got it. Should we film it? No Casually roll over into the parking lot to like like they had to get out the door. That's not easy the movie fight Like well probably I think he's I think he's probably what backing out. Yeah. One of these. Yeah. We get that door. He had to be the first one out, I assume. And then they were following. He was, he said like there was like a little like statue and like the, like the entryway where the doors come in. He was like, I managed to duck under that thing, get outside, create a little separation and

then yeah, bring them all into my web. And he was just like waiting for them out there kind of. Yeah. The greatest guy that like waiting for them out there. Kind of brought them all into it. The greatest guy that this could happen to. Yeah. Great storyteller. There's no better voice to tell that story. I mean, the hockey voice, like the accent, it's just, that was perfect. What do you think?

Took some, gave some more. Yeah. Something like that. What a legend, dude. Spitting Chicklets also very influential in the hockey world. You know, like I think they're a massive piece of the NHL. And obviously the NHL ratings last year

were the biggest they've ever been. I think you could say the projection and trajectory of that particular podcast has certainly helped out with the whole thing. Cause the boys come on there and they actually open up. We're actually cold FaceTimeing Biz right now to see if he answers. Probably not very busy man.

10 jobs and he still figures out ways to beat the shit of people if he does we will certainly have some follow-up Questions let's talk about your world JJ watt. I've seen a tweet that you put out Where you said say Kwan Barkley and this offensive line equals Chico I think is what you said it was your exact say Kwan plus Eagles o line equals cheat code And I think a Q Shipley would certainly You know acknowledge that because he's been putting over the Eagles offensive line for a long time But to your point most rush yards before contact this season and hembo sent this over after seeing your tweet Saquon Barkley is in first obviously in the NFL at a thousand and sixteen yards before contact

She's damn and in second Derek Henry was seven hundred in seventy three yards in first obviously in the NFL at a thousand and sixteen yards before contact. Jeez damn. And in second, Derek Henry was seven hundred and seventy three yards. So seven seventy three, a thousand sixteen before contact. Does that make them the best team in football in your eyes? I said the other day that I think the Detroit Lions are the best team in football right now. And that's because I had eyes on them on Sunday and I seen what they did and if you look at how they've kind of played

They beat people they really do but this Eagles team obviously with what they do is certainly in the running for They might this might be another Super Bowl year for the Philadelphia Eagles. Do you agree with that? Or who do you think best team in football? I Think it's very tough right now best team in football to not say the Lions I mean the Lions are playing incredible ball both sides of the ball. They're just drumming people. I mean, left and right, as many points as they want to score, whoever they want to get touchdowns to. So I think it's tough to not say them, but I do think this Eagles team is humming. And I think a few weeks back or earlier on, you know, you're starting to look at that division and you're like, wow, the commanders are really coming on, are they going to take this division?

But the Eagles are just storming back in and saying, no, no, this is ours. We're going to take this. Um, and it's, it's true. Like, it's not like you can just put any running back there and they'll be great. I mean, yes, that offensive line is phenomenal. And yes, they open up some incredible holes and they've got some good schemes to open things up, but Saquon is special. And then you add him to that whole line

and that's when you create something truly great. And it's incredible to watch. I mean, we're seeing obviously something similar with Derek Henry and the Ravens. The Ravens have had a good rushing attack for a long time. Derek Henry's been good on his own for a long time, but you put those two things together and you get something incredible.

That's the same thing we're watching here. It's really, really fun to watch. Well, and Jalen Hurts has to love it. And Jalen Hurts helps. Saquon Barkley, obviously he freezes a safety who's down the box or accounts for another man. So Saquon's able to get it and get it. But like, Juergens coming in.

It has to be. Sorry, it has to be so much fun for him. Like for me to watch it from afar a guy who's you know Been on a struggling team for a while always been a great player always left it all in the field Just never had that team success to see him go and to know how much fun this has to be Week in and week out scoring 75 yard touchdowns winning all these games It just it has to be so incredible and he has to be having the time of his life. We got offensive lineman sprinting down there look at that. Landon Dickerson at 350 pounds right there. Yeah 25 yards down the

field it's like Juergens has come in for Jason Kelsey and they've obviously Jason Kelsey goat conversation for offensive line and center and all that but they lose him and everybody thinks are they still gonna be able to do or they're gonna be able to do it he's been great in the team Nick Sirianni loves running the rock He's been fancy their whole group is and they got Jordan Milata back at left tackle He's healthy finally their whole group's healthy Kamjuergens had a play this past game where he had a nose guard to his right Slanted across his face passes off the thing spins around still picks up the linebacker on the screen that broke it for 25 yards

I was like it was a pretty impressive play. Same position today, you're shipping different styles. I'm curious your thoughts because I think this is, I think strength coach is more so college than NFL, but it's still extremely important in the NFL. But I think offensive line coach is hands down one of the most underrated position coaches, coaches in general in the entire league. I think that's a place where not enough teams put emphasis, put just that needs to be the perfect hire.

And it's not somebody you can just put in there and hope that they do a good job. Couldn't agree more and Jeff Stoutland of the Philadelphia Eagles is, I think in my opinion, the best in the game. He's made it through three different head coaches now at this point, stays in Philly as a mainstay but he is fantastic. Hank Fraley in Detroit, former player used to play for the Philadelphia Eagles under Andy Reid. Same thing. So they got two of the best and guess what? They got two of the best offensive lines. Yeah and best offensive lines lead to the best teams normally. That is kind of how

we're learning and seeing through AQ's eyes all season. I love that Lions team and you talk about it's hard not to say they're the best because they're beating the shit out of people It's like the record after you play the Lions tough. It's like a hangover You got like a Lions hangover against another team with the great offensive line Like I don't like to admit it because I'm a defensive lineman Obviously we have our battles with the offensive line But when your team has a good offensive line and they have good chemistry and they have that good rapport and they kind of have that. They're badasses, they'll beat the shit out of people on the field, but they're also fun guys to hang out with off the field.

They'll slam some beers with the boys. When you have that, that's when you have a great team. And it really is like, that nucleus does make such a difference in the entire team. I just looked it up. Looks like it's one and 11 the week after playing the Lions. Tampa got a win. Okay so it is like a hangover. I mean it's uh hey good luck you just got your ass beat by this team and then you're gonna have to recover and play another game next week which is the NFL season. It's hard not to say this is the Lions, it's the Lions year. Yep and speaking of the offensive line my favorite thing that they can do, it'll be third and six, third and eight.

They will run the ball. It doesn't matter. They'll convert. And if they don't, guess what? Fourth and two, they're going for it no matter what. So there's always a chance of the run. That's what opens up the play action pass. That's why golf is so good.

It all circulates so much. And to you guys' point, Lions, Eagles would be an absolute smash mouth football game in the playoffs. It's explosive, too. It'll be awesome. That's the most demoralizing thing I think for a defense and JJ can probably speak more to that. But it's like when it's third and two, you're almost expecting pass.

When you play the Lions and it's third and seven, they might just run a casual inside zone and pick up eight. And it's like what just happened? I can't pack the box. So you have your third down teams, you know, hey, let's send in this, let's send in this. Well, actually they might just. Yeah.

Run it down. Last year in the NFC championship against the San Francisco 49ers, You have your third down teams, you know, hey, let's send in this, let's send in this. Well, actually, they might just- Yeah. Run it down. They might just run it down. Last year in the NFC Championship against the San Francisco 49ers, it was third and nine. Golf checked to a run and Gibbs ran it outside first down, no problem. Yeah, Jade, you guys can't stop it, huh? Oh. Ah.

It's frustrating because we're like, all right, we finally got them third and long, third and seven, third and nine. We can run our exotics. Let the dog, let the dog off the leash. Let's get in the pass rush stance You same bolt out of the blocks and then son of a bitch just right underneath you and you come back to the sideline Your coach is like what we trace get like hey, hey, it's third and eight. All right. I don't care what you say I'm rushing the pass or I'm sorry. I'm not expecting a run on third down I'm gonna be getting after look at old quick finger foxy right there

Yeah, they had a couple of them All right foxy Yeah, okay put it on the line after just throw it out. Hey make a tackle, huh? AJ can you make a tackle for me one time? Yeah, it's your job I don't know that's what happens on the defensive side of the ball that makes sense you know D lineman blaming linebackers I assume linebackers blaming safety safety supposed to fill yeah that's right we just passed the buck back I like that move not bad at all I like Lions and like Eagles and I'm see very I mean the Vikings and I was gonna pass that's what is so impressive like the Lions are like

historically dominant right now and they're playing in like a historically good division I mean they got two other teams that are nine and two and eight and three they have to keep going and they're still You know like there's there's no talk of like hey You know like the the Vikings or the Packers like they might it's like this is the Lions division But you know they only got a game lead right now Yeah, and I mean a two-weekump, you're no longer division champ, no longer home playoff. Right.

And then you can have home field advantage if you just win your division, right? Yeah. Is kind of what's happening in the NFC North. Obviously, the Eagles can catch up and do their thing. Let's talk about the- Fox, you got boots on the ground up there. What's the vibe like in Detroit right now? Are people starting to kind of expect this or is this still euphoria?

Is this like where people are just out of their minds loving it or are they kind of like, yeah, this is who we are now. Yeah, it's a little bit of both. I would say it's definitely expected to win now, which has never happened as a Lions fan in any of our lifetimes. But also like you have to enjoy this. The biggest thing though is just you don't want to see any drop off. You don't want to see any injuries going into the playoffs and also like the expectation is a Super Bowl There is nothing else more that we need like want less than a Super Bowl So that's kind of just changed the entire mindset of the franchise and the fans I will say this about Lions fans verse other teams that just got good that have been bad for a long time I think Lions fans are the most reasonable. I hope so. That's because they're talked about. Yeah, they also don't

really know what to do with it yet. Like the Lions fans I've talked to, not the ones that Fox he knows this past weekend because the city was filled with them. They're like, we're nine and one. This is incredible. I'm like, no, it's not the angle, buddy. You guys are the best team in football. Forget about the record. Okay. You guys are the best. You're saying they don't even know how to talk shit. They don't know how to do that. You're trying to make them insufferable. Yeah. I'm trying to help you. I'm like, no, no, forget about the record okay you guys are the best you're saying they don't even know how to talk shit they don't know how to do you're trying to make them insufferable yeah i'm trying to help you i'm like no no forget about the record man you guys are the best team in football go with that but i i'm just talking about internet like oh yeah interactions they're awesome like there's

other teams that have not been good that get good and then their fans are like the worst oh yeah no i agree i agree their fans seem to be phenomenal i'm trying to get boots on the ground i want to get get to Detroit for a game. I want to see what it's like. I might pop up there for Thanksgiving Who's performing half time? Let's make sure we get a little bit more money invested in the halftime show. Remember what happened last year? Oh, yeah, he had no shot what they put that little plastic It was walking on paper it appeared and allegedly we were told this I don't know if it's true But that wasn't on the Lions that was actually on Jack Which is bad news too because if it's on Shaboosie, you know

It's your booze is gonna do since they're not letting him play any other song No, he needs to play well, guess what? They're not letting them they're saying no go see the whiskey song He's not gonna do anything. He might just stand on the field and no Booze is a showman. Yeah. He puts on a great performance. And they won't let him. He knows damn well he's got like five other songs that are all hits and nobody will let him sing it. Nobody will let him sing it. It's always, give me the tips. This good news song that he has out right now?

Banger. Absolute banger. Last of My Kind. Last of My Kind with Paul Whatever. I like Last of My Kind. It's a banger. He has hits, hits, hits. And then every time it's like, sure. Come on. It's great song.

You got it. But Thanksgiving halftime is multiple songs. Yeah, a couple. Yeah, except for Shaboosies. No, no, no. I'm trying to remember. Is Thanksgiving halftime longer? Three songs. It'll at least be three songs. Really? That long? 15 minutes right because I think they'll you know because they start out on a song and then they change the song Yeah, they change better see dolly three songs you can fit because it's 12 minute half time right 12 minutes

Yeah, thanks. Give me longer because of you know, thanks. Will it be longer on Thanksgiving? I don't know I played it twice. I don't remember it. Yeah longer CT play it two times There'll be two heads with CT collided this is what tone just said there Jack Harlow setup was terrible. Yeah, terrible. I lost least pulled it up. Yeah, just had the Jack Harlow's setup was terrible. Yeah, terrible. So I had to watch. We just pulled it up. Yeah.

We just had the, uh, the clips there. You got it? Remember this? It's all sweet. So dumb. And then remember what Dolly had in Dallas? Dolly looks sick. Dolly had a star.

I just went to a, I just went to a Christmas festival lights thing with Cola the other night that was significantly better than that. Yeah. Well, you live in a good part of town down there near Houston. Yeah. You know, you live, you live in high society down here You got good Christmas

I gotta drive to that street, which is where JJ lives Oh, so you're gonna go to your neighbors basements. Yeah, that's what he's doing. He's gonna drive to that street He actually has a massive car that's coming going from that house. I don't know what's going to your neighbor's basements. Yeah, that's what he said he's doing. Drive to that street. He actually has a massive. A lot of cars coming and going from that house. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, they're all in the basement, bud. Make sure they're all getting out of there.

Yeah. Make sure they're all getting out of there. We're not worried about them going in. We're worried about how many are coming out. That's the big conversation. He's got a massive pickleball tournament tomorrow morning. 8 o'clock Thanksgiving pickleball tournament at the club. Where?

I feel good about it Yeah, like it's based off rating so like you're playing against guys of similar

What's your rating like a four to lose? Now like like pros are like in the fives I'm sick of the yeah. Well, I think point one is worth it. It's a big deal. Yeah point one's a big deal so like five two is like Superstar that guy with that long hair that we remember Yeah, pretty good Pretty good when I went out there. I mean that was before the craze and he remember he had like the bad Yeah, don't rack it and everything. I got he was showing up. Oh, yeah, what times the schedule game tomorrow? That's right Yeah, the whole thing. Are you cooking after this or is the cooking happening while you're at the tournament?

The family come or is this just you it's have you heard a little miss barbecue? No catering catering it in smoked turkey catered in smart. No no cook Yeah, no cooking it. So You play better in this tournament the longer you're away from your family on Thanksgiving, but the more I sweat the more I can eat So it's a fine balance fine balance on a fine balance Yeah, I got so I might have got a sauna too. Fine balance. Yeah, I got a sauna. Might have that thing cooking too.

How many games potentially are we playing tomorrow morning? Three, four maybe? See, that's the issue. You're doing this show, you're in Indiana. There's some old fuck from the Arizona Country Club. He right now, he's in a cold tub. He's dinking too. Well, he might be in the middle of his kitchen work,

but he is certainly getting a cold tub, he's getting a massage. He's got his, he's carb loading the night. He's got he's car bloating the night Yeah, he's gonna full nights rest cuz he knows at 8 p.m. No doubt. Yeah former professional athlete Hey, Q Shipley's coming in here. You got a target on your fucking forehead. Yeah, I'm gonna get back around 1230 We need these results. We need these results tomorrow airplane probably pop my back in the first first game stream it stream Yeah, put your phone up back in the first first game stream it stream yeah put your phone up do a live stream all right make sure we get the full yeah full thing full thing

let's not be kicking anybody in the head well I was gonna say if you lose though don't viral video make a viral video yeah yeah yeah swift kick what a moment do it how'd that guy not come back at him how do you not come back knocked out his dad I mean there's his buddy you need to send Biz over there to help him out. His buddy wanted it too, I don't think so. His buddy wanted no part. Biz was the one who kicked him. It's a problem in today's world. That's a problem in today's world.

We need to bring that back a little bit. If something goes down, you need to get the shit kicked out. And then go to jail, just like what happened at Houston. That was awesome. That was great. In 2024, I mean that's exactly how you would hope something get him. These six are hated by everybody. We all hate these people. They got their asses beat and they're the ones getting punished. Now they're all going to try to sue Biz. You know, they are

trying to sue Biz. They are, that is certainly going to happen, especially if they know and find out who Biz is. They're going to figure out a way. I think they know by now. I think they know. I don't know how long they're in jail. The guys that got out of jail, I see. Probably not long. I would assume out right at this point. How about them in jail and everybody in jail going, one guy. One guy did all this?

Good lord. Holy shit. We got fat fish in room four here. Oh my. Think about that conversation between them just afterwards. It was like, dude, why didn't you grab his legs? Like we would have taken the top, like what? In room four here. Oh my. Think about that conversation between them just afterwards. It was like, dude, why didn't you grab his legs? Like, we would have taken the top. But then he spun that one time right in the face.

Was there multiple guys? Did you see two guys? There was a lot of silence. There was two or three guys there, right? I think I saw. No, it was all one guy. No. All right, let's uh... We're at the seventh though. How come there's only six of us in here?

What the hell is Carl? I didn't see him get punched in the face I saw all you get punched in the face by one two guys was a one guy. I didn't see Carl though Yeah, he hit probably right idea that group of friends. They got a move. Yeah, they're out of there. They got a move They can't go in public for a while. Yeah, what are their names? Let's move back to the NFL con man has a question for you. Yeah JJ speaking to Houston's what's going on with the Texans here? Obviously, you know the the Titans have a very good defense, but Houston's been struggling as of late Are you worried at all about the Texans or because it's the middle of the season kind of that little stretch where teams can struggle? A bit. Are you not worried at all and they're going to close this thing out strong?

I think they'll close it out strong. I believe in him. I believe in to make on what he's doing in that entire staff and all the players down there. There's no question. It's a rough patch moment. Just little things. It's you know, this game. It's a tough one.

You know, you get eight sacks seven up in the first half. You get a pick six couple fumble recoveries and you still don't close out a division opponent at home It's just that's not the type of stuff that before the season any of us thought was going to happen Obviously, yeah, we have all these high expectations these high hopes and these are the type of games you expect them to close out No problem. I would much rather it happen now than later. I'm hoping that it's a learning experience. There's no question that, you know, there's some issues with penalties for sure,

some offensive line things, but middle of the season is when you get all that stuff cleaned up and get it corrected. And I believe D'Amico is the right guy to do that and carry him into the playoffs stronger than they are right now. A lot different this year than last year, you know, and obviously injuries at different places

as you, you chatted about numerous times in the past. It's at AFC South, wild right now, brother. At AFC South it's always wild, man. It's always wild. Like the AFC South, I feel like, I feel like the NFC South is a little bit similar where it's like these teams are always kind of fighting. You never know what's going to really happen.

I still believe that Texas have a very firm brand. I mean, we have, we're 2-0 on you guys. We're the closest team. Obviously the Titans and Texas have a very firm grab. I mean, we're 2-0 on you guys. We're the closest team. Obviously, the Titans and Jags are out of it. So, I mean, it's... Let's not act like it's like a grab bank here. Hey, the Colts, brother, are playing. Yeah, what about them? They hate you, you hate them. What's going on? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That has all been... Yeah, you guys made up. That's all water on them.

It's perfect Thanksgiving time of the year everybody hates each other But we're all gonna come around the table and hash it out. That's for the rest of them. No actually this Thanksgiving It's all water in a bridge, you know, which is actual Thanksgiving mindset. Yeah Sunday. I look around I'm thankful and I'm grateful You know for everything that I have I'm lucky that I live in Indianapolis and yeah this Colts team, sure, some things have happened and pictures have been posted on thumbnails and A lot of shit has been talked about I assume which is why that thumbnail was chosen to be what it was But other than that all good. Hey, I'd be upset to if I was them. Tough one Sunday though Can't lose the next one. Well the Lions, you know, won in 11 after playing Detroit Lions

Now we got to the New England Patriots. Colts should win this game. They should. They should. Colts are gonna win this game. But will they? Colts are gonna win this game. I don't know man. Yeah, they're moving on and moving forward. Yeah, they are moving forward. Ain't they right, Jade? Jade, you better watch it, because they got the Patriots and they got to buy, then they got three teams that are not good, right and that uh kind of how it goes well the broncos yeah the broncos look pretty good defense yeah we thought that's a big one we thought we had a lot easier schedule than the broncos all of a sudden become a couple with good quarterbacks going in it's a real real team this is a real the broncos are real deal brother shit bow nicks their future they're without what 40 some million on the salary cap because of Russell Wilson and they got it.

Cortland Sutton seemingly scoring touchdowns at will at this point, I mean, and Bo Nix has got it. O-line. O-line's good. You can stop rolling in Denver, man. That's a place to be. Never seen it one here, tell you like. I like Denver.

I love it. They're building that brand new practice facility which looks unbelievable. It's already a great spot right there. I mean, they get rolling, Bo keeps playing like this. Like, free agents will want to play there. It's a great spot right there. It's I mean they get rolling, Bo keeps playing like this, like free agents will want to play there. It's a great spot. I mean Peyton wanted to go there. Like allegedly there was some other deals that were much nicer at other places but then once he got out to Denver and he saw where he

could potentially live and where his family could grow up and what the building looks like and everything he's like I love this place. Yeah Bo's a real deal. Bo is real deal. And I think we saw his development throughout the season and I think early, nobody was expecting anything from Bo or the Denver Broncos, not only because of his performances, but just because like these dudes have

a quarter of the amount of money they're allowed to spend to create their entire roster. And at this point, Bo's gotten better, Sean Payton's gotten better obviously with how he handles the offense and who he puts where and then the defense is gonna be great. That's just kind of what we know now with Vance, it's like this team's, now they happen to be

in the Chiefs division, so. And the Chargers. Yeah. And if the Los Angeles Chargers continue to go and do what we all expect them to do, no J.K. Dobbins, that sucks. Yeah, Gus Edwards coming off one of his best games of the year. That AFC West is a... Loaded. Loaded. Like the Raiders... Stink. They're the only ones though. Yeah. They're the only ones that seemingly

don't have figured out. That J.K. Dobbins is a bummer. I'm bummed out about that. It was reported I believe this morning or last night J.K. Dobbins has sprained knee. I think Schefter's report is he's week to week moving forward. You know be out against the Falcons as they are two and a half point favorites in Atlanta this weekend. JK's having a resurgence JJ. I mean this is a this is a hit to this Chargers team that is a pound rock team and JK Dawkins became their pound the rock guy. How much was he averaging before you heard heard seven yards a carry against the Ravens number one running defense? So oh

Yards good yards per curve these types injuries light Important defense you play good defense key points off the board You still have Justin Herbert sling that ball around a little bit more be yeah, right? I mean, it's a tough division. Like you said, it's not that division is is brutal but it's When you play good defense, you can do a lot of things especially late in the year and Jesse mentor has that defense Playing good ball and nobody bar it. Okay. I like to hear that too about the Chargers. We love that team Let's talk about another injury that is very significant potentially to all the football a Q has a question for you

Yeah about another injury that is very significant potentially to all the football. AQ has a question for you. Yeah well we talked about the Philadelphia Eagles offense earlier let's talk about their defense. Brandon Graham tears his tricep out for the year might be career at this point he's had a hell of a career but when you were watching the game the other night he moves inside he's playing three technique you're getting production from somebody other than Jalen Carter for once right? How big of a loss is this? Huge, man, huge, because he's also just like a heart and soul guy of that team. Not only is he playing fantastic football right now, I mean, he's getting stripped sacks, he's playing like a young guy out there. He's making impact plays in the game, but he's also just

kind of who you associate with the Eagles. And he's everything about that organization. You associate him with the Super Bowls, you associate him with the big plays and you know inside that locker room, the love that they have for him, the love he has for that organization. He kind of bleeds that Philly green. So to not have that guy out there is extremely tough. And you saw it when he was talking about it, how, how much it means to him. And that I feel like, especially in Philly, when you have that connection with the city obviously Jason Kelsey had it there's a few major guys that have had that in the past but when you have that connection with the city of Philly who's so hard to win over

that is a deep and real and special connection and he's a tough tough loss for him but it's also one of those where you feel like the guys are like, let's go out there and win a forum. Like let's get this guy another ring. Yeah, he's a dog, Brandon Graham. He's the longest tenured, right? What they say? Yeah. I forget what the history is. After, oh, right on the team right now or overall?

Overall, I forget what the, there was some tweets that were talking about that. You're talking about like legendary Philadelphia. Ever? No, he's somewhere in the list. It was, I didn't get all the- I would imagine he's probably somewhere on the list. Okay. James, thanks.

But I know the big thing last year was like the only three they had left were Fletcher Cox, Jason Graham and Jason. Yeah. Yeah. So they, and they were all on list. Okay. Shut up, James. Everybody's on this. Well, Oh Man less yeah, they're great. They are. Liss are great. We need to learn more. I'm still back. I hate Liss.

I'm still reeling from that comment last week. Watch, the... When AJ's page was just rallying off letters and he just immediately went straight to Rufelin. That was a wild, I wasn't ready for it. It was in the news for a while. We were talking about HGH and I think the GH really, AJ didn't hear the first one and he goes GH? GHB? You said you had some people in your life who

were roofing themselves. I don't know if you can or not, he's monotonous, but those stories you can share because I'm curious. So there was an NFL legend that was doing that actually. I don't want to say any names. Oh yeah. There was a legendary NFL player that was allegedly. Purposely rookie in yourself? Yeah. I mean, that's when you get to the point of advantage. But you're just trying to get so fucked up. Like you're just trying to figure out ways to get. Teleported.

Fucked up. Yeah. To tomorrow. Yeah. Time travel. Yeah. Let the body do what it is. Yeah. And that's when everybody knew there was potentially a problem But yeah, I've heard of people actually what so an age says he's heard of people. I've only heard of one person I didn't know the person person

I've talked to two people that did it and they they claim it was their greatest feat in the history of their life when they Were able to get themselves out of a car fully inebriated and they said like I was so much I realized I'm so much more powerful than I even thought I was. See that's not smart. But they didn't do it like these people are the biggest. These people are role models. They're not role models. No they are not role models. Obviously. Nowadays. They said it was scary. They said it was very scary. Obviously I think like that was the big fear. The rooflin there for a while. Okay, watch Rufus

Watch Rufus. It was crazy. There was a time where you could not oh, you had to napkin on top of the drink Yeah, and it's like who's all the time and that's still the situation. It should be right and you would hope I mean you would You would hope there these Nowadays, I mean obviously Rufus terrible but like all these drugs can potentially kill you. Oh, yeah You know like all of them nowadays. It's a whole different world and James I know you don't know anything about that as you were trying to sculpt yourself into a six foot seven 250 pounds zero percent body fat guy, but you know in some good time circles It's very interesting to learn about well nowadays. I think that's the biggest issue going on there

There's like hundreds of thousands of people dying from these drugs that are just laced with fentanyl and it's over. It's like, this is a very real thing that is kind of taken out. I don't wanna say a lot of a generation, but I mean, there's, I don't wanna say attacked either, but because they're making the decisions to do it,

but it's like, can't do it. There's just no, can't do it, can't got it which is good I think in the long run obviously but it's crazy that that has become the thing in this world I know it's I have a daughter obviously we all have kids so I have no idea what even hey should be good no so eat that no don't eat don't whoa that's good for when now I'm here we're getting poisoned by this. And it's like, who's... That's how Roger's best friend is gonna help us out.

Hell yeah. It's crazy. That's like the Halloween candy thing. I've never understood that. It wouldn't be super expensive to be putting stuff in their kids' candy. Like, who's doing that? Well, exactly.

Is that a real thing? Is anybody ever... There's sickos. Some of them just wanna watch the world burn. Yeah, there are some sickos out there man, which is crazy that it is very real Yeah, you know on this Thanksgiving. Let's be thankful that the world's getting better Accordingly Make the world is not a worse place. Come on. Yeah, let's do let's handle things like this speaking of handling things

There's something brewing in there. There is I read a little something that said something's brewing big time. Todd, you know what's brewing? Yeah, I think it might have something to do with Myles Garrett basically saying like hey listen JJ watt and TJ watt bumping their gums has kind of fueled me to become the player that I am and then you kind of Put the stat out like, hey, listen, I don't want any beef with miles. I'm simply just stating the facts here, showing the stats. So I'm just curious, like, when did you guys start hating each other's fucking guts?

Are you guys gonna like box a la Tyson and Jake Paul? How's this whole thing end? What's going on here? What happened? I mean, I'm curious. I've never, I've literally never said a single bad thing about the guy. What happened? I, it is basically said to your reaction, how you guys hail a bum them up. Find one negative comment I've ever said about the man. Please. I literally only speak positively

about him. I would love you to find a comment. The tweet they put in the story actually is maybe one of the most kind worded things I've ever seen a brother say to somebody that won an award over one of their brothers. I don't know if we have it. Do we have it? Yeah. Boom. Everybody is asking for my opinion on defense player of the year. I get it. Okay. I'm fucking JJ. Why? I'm in the media. Want a bunch of the one, a bunch of these. The problem is I have no interest in tearing down MG, which we can only assume for argument's sake, that's Miles Garrett.

Yeah, left out the K, so it's not Machine Gun Kelly. Sure. K, good call. Miles, oh here it is, he clears it up, Miles, the M in MG right here, next sentence. Not Machine Gun. Miles is a phenomenal player, I'm a big fan, and he's had an incredible career so far. I can acknowledge

that this is with all due respect. I can acknowledge that while also wondering what more could my brother that I grew up with could have done to win another defensive player of the year. Then you put out obviously these per 10 snaps. This is also from a year ago. Like where, why is this being brought up now? I'm very confused. Cause after he goes bananas against the Steelers, he says to a bronze insider or something along those lines that like, yeah, if you would have motivated that, you know, cause normally people are happy for people,

but I didn't feel like you guys were happy for him. Yeah, that's the gist of it. Kind of the gist of it. Yeah. I mean, I've come on this show and praised him before. I've gone on CBS and praised him many times before. I've tweeted many positive things about him. Like, the guy's an unbelievable player.

Have never once in my entire life said he is not a phenomenal player. So I don't know what more you want me to say. Literally, I've only praised the guy. Thank you same the other like TJ's never said a negative thing either so like I'm very confused as to why like there's zero negativity towards miles good it's a great football player. I just be finding something. That's right. Yeah he's just looking for a chip. Yeah he's looking for it. No problem. I, I apparently did it for the Jets a few weeks back Whatever anybody needs it. Yeah

What do you say about the Colts? No, no, no You do it you do it for the Colts you got you do it plenty you sounds like you piss them off doesn't work I'm lost my spit anybody see that just a little projectile spit Was your sweet ever in jeopardy I mean I feel like I feel like your fandom might have been it. Anybody see that? There's a little projectile spit. I like that. Getting worked up. Getting worked up. Yeah. Talk about Marlon. Getting worked up. Was there a sweet ever in Jeopardy? I mean, I feel like, I feel like your fandom might've been In Jeopardy. In the limbo for a minute.

What do you think? You think like me choosing not to get it again? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Certainly. Certainly. Certainly. What's Houston's situation though? Yeah. Yeah. What's going on down in Houston? Do you, uh? Got any sweets? We're by it. We're seven and five. We're two and oh against you guys this year. What? You're going to try to manufacture an argument.

No, no, no. You're going to try to manufacture an argument. No, no, no. You're going to try to manufacture an argument. No, no, no. You're going to try to manufacture an argument. No. Yeah, what's going on down Houston you Were seven and five or two and oh against you guys this year what you're gonna Manufacturing are you know? opposite opposite Ty kind of came after you there. Well, I mean I wasn't coming after him. Kind of just relaying what other people are saying. We are happy that you all get along. Guys are all great football players.

A lot of great defense players in that conversation. When you're in that conversation, you're in a Hall of Fame conversation. And we don't need beefing. No beefing. We want love, especially on Thanksgiving. With that being said, Miles Garrett's guy I would not want beef with, ever. No doubt, but then you remember JJ was saying what change when he's posting that photo from his garage

Where his lats look like a cape? Mm-hmm. You remember that? Yeah, don't want be with that guy. Maybe he was glistening You remember that judge? Yeah, he just always has a squirrel suit on yeah yeah Yeah, do you still look like that or no? It's Thanksgiving you eating a little bit too much. No I'm tomorrow many every single thing on the plate, but I work out to earn that so yeah I look I look like that. I worry about we asked we were talking about this earlier. Do you think you're one of the biggest? What's the word? the biggest what's the word holy shit holy shit holy shit that's all the China that's 30 pounds ago that's 30 pounds ago I'm the exact same weight now as I was in that photo you look the exact sameosed slightly differently but no yeah I mean Jesus. Must be nice. Thankful to be JJ Watts body.

Jeez Louise. Good for you dude. Anyways you think you're one of like the most tough guy tough guys of all time? No. One time on this show you said if I walk into a room and I don't think I could beat everybody's ass in there, that's a problem. And that's why I work out the way that I do. Do you remember saying that? And now I ask you- Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I believe that. Yeah. But I'm not like the guy that's like walking in like, oh, I'll fight anybody here. Let's start a fight. I will if I have to. If I saw a business situation going down, I'm stepping in to help a biz. But will if I have to. Like if I saw a biz situation going down, I'm stepping in to help a biz, but no,

I'm not like the tough guy, tough guy. But I also, when you're retired, people start to forget real quick. I don't know if you feel this or not. People are starting to talk a little more shit and you're like, hang on a second now. You need a reminder? Like do you need a real quick reminder?

That's for the tough tough guy tough guy respond That shit pisses me off Exactly. Okay, they say to you people you tell me random people are saying things you like that No, but there's like there'll be little Connor like easy Connor called you fat, right? That's not true I never said that right. I think my son could take Connor I called you fat right there. That's not true. I never said that right. I think my son could take Connor Connor when's the last fight you've been in was it when you're playing hockey for all the cross there play the cross He couldn't tell you I'm a lover man

Can't have a bullet not fight man. You can't have a nice fight 24. I mean, he's a lover. It's These are positive times I'm go pathetic speaking of positive times, let's go to Ohio. Big announcement out of the Bangles building, which I think is a big deal. Go ahead, Tom. Let's remember who the Steelers play this week before you give your answer. Okay, Jage, we don't need any motivation for the Bangles this week, but they got their ping pong tables back in their locker room this week. They earned them back after the chart. I just said, don't let, don't motivate. Oh, I love the ping pong tables in the locker room. So do all good teams have ping pong tables in the

locker room and do bad teams not have ping pong tables? Is that how it works? No, I hate these conversations every time they come up because like it'll be like coach took basketball hoop out of the locker room. They're getting real serious now or like ping pong tables, the camarie is the best because you could you could have it either way an unbelievable team could have a Ping-pong table in their locker room and you might never know about it or that people write articles their team chemistry So good because they play ping pong together and that's what bonds them You could have the exact opposite way this team stinks because all they do is play ping pong in the locker room together like Newsflash there are 24 hours in a day. If you go to your meetings, you pay attention.

If you go out to practice and you work hard, if you do your work in the weight room and you study your pill, there are plenty more hours in the day to be doing other shit. So I'm sick of everybody who's like, Oh, you can't be like, you can't. You can play ping pong if you want. And it is a good thing for teammates to play with each other. Now, if you're only playing ping pong, then there's a problem. If you suck and you're playing ping pong

before you go to your meetings and before you do all your work, then that's a problem. But no, let's not say that ping pong is the reason anybody stinks. How are you? Good for them. That's why they got their ping pong. How are you at ping pong?

You're a pretty good player, I assume? I'm okay. Bruce Ellington was a teammate of mine. He was very, very good at ping pong. He taught me some tricks that were very helpful. So my brothers and I are very competitive at ping pong. Yeah, you could be just a backboard with your reach. You could just get it back over the net.

I do play double-handed. So instead of going backhand, I pass to the left. Yep, me too. Yeah, so I got two forehands. I don't, are yours good? I have a real bad left forehand. No, I palm it to the left. Yep, me too. Yeah. So I got two forehands. I don't, are yours good? I have a real bad left forehand. No, I palm it. So if it goes to my left, I palm it.

I can't, I can't grab the handle. So I just palm it. Respect. Oh my God. Wow. I'm just peppering your, I mean, that, that, so every time I'm just getting a fat back over the net and then it's bang, good night.

But with spin, there's a little spin. Like I put spin on it when it comes back. A little spin. What a what a great sport table does it in pickleball, too. It's a weapon Yeah, I am a I'm a pass battle But I like that. I like that though. I'm not this isn't a give-up shot This is a what's your serve like what kind of server you put now? You tell me brother. Yeah, you tell me Yeah, I love a big ball. I thought I was going to- Okay, one point to win. What's your serve?

Howard, how do you- you? I'm going top spin to your backhand, throwing high, top hand, top spin to your backhand and you're palming that thing. That thing's popping straight up in the air. And then I'm literally crow hopping into this thing. Boom, right? Like that is probably what I'm doing. Bjorn Werner showed up from Germany.

And I think in Germany they play table tennis like a lot. Like I think that is like something a lot of families... Bjorn Werner showed up at the Colts building and he humbled me so quick. And then I realized you'd get better. And I bought the ping pong machine. You know, I think that this is... Oh, no way, dude. You got the thing that fires them at you? Yeah. Yeah. Shut up. Swear to God. Yeah. Still got it. Swear to God. Yeah. dude. You got the thing that fires them at you? Yeah, yeah. Shut up.

Swear to God, yeah, still got it. Swear to God. Yeah, yeah, still got it. But that's what Bjorn Werner did to me in front of the whole team. You know how some of those games go. Everybody's watching, you know? Everybody's watching. It's either right outside of a meeting,

so everybody's either walking by, stopping, seeing how things are going. The cornhole boards, another great, great addition to the locker room. I didn't even know that sport existed. And then get dropped in a locker room. It's like, well, you guys are in meetings. Guess I'm working.

Yeah. I'm working in meetings. Oh, you had to be doing it all the time. All the time. That's a specialty. Oh yeah, treatment, okay, done with treatment. I'm gonna go through a cornhole for an hour and a half, two hours.

And then when they come out of the meetings, some people are gonna wanna play. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. I should be pretty dialed in. But those are great for the building. I don't know how teams don't have them. Like what do you do?

It's the best. Like many hoops are big nowadays. Many hoops have become real big. Well it's a lot of shit talking too. It's like, you know, for me punter. So if I do well in that, obviously you're in a little, little bit of, but also the amount of talking and moments that are happening.

You have to have those good times. Just like Thanksgiving, have a great one. We'll continue on YouTube, ESPN+, and TikTok Live. We'll make our picks in our Ram truck. We'll see you on Monday. Have a good one. Yeah, we did, Jage. Yeah, we did.

That felt pretty good. Should have gave more of a happy Thanksgiving send off. They knew it. We talked about it. Yeah, we talked about it. Should have gave. Alright, Jage, before we let you get out of here, we can't thank you enough for joining us. We settled the Miles Garrett beef. We paid tribute to Branding Room.

We talked about the Houston Texans. Then obviously we just chatted about festivities inside the locker room. We talked about old school stuff that happened back in the day that can't happen anymore. And we talked about Thanksgiving. But now, we talk about what other people wanna talk about. It's become a nice little Wednesday tradition. Put out a good morning, beautiful people tweet, happy Thanksgiving Eve, how you doing?

It's Wednesday, that means JJ Watts coming on. Do you have any questions for the future Hall of Famer? And Connor will scan through them. All you gotta do is put the hashtag askjage in there and send your questions away. It got up to the number three trend on X this morning in the United States. Whose body is that? Whose body is that? Go back to the ask jage graphic please. That's you. What? That is your hand. I mean I am pasty white. There is no question about it,

but those arms are not my arms. No, that is a photo. We don't have the capability of taking your head off and putting on somebody else's body No, what are you talking about? Look at those fingers, too? I don't know how those fingers got so many sacks look at those things. Look at the biceps. Look at them getting a little flabby They're huge Guys getting a little flabby out there. Jeez Elise What the hell is that man? That's JJ Watt. you're JJ Watt, and this is hashtag AskJage.

Connor, a lot of entries. Yeah, fantastic ones. A lot of Thanksgiving ones, a couple about trade deadline day that people were still curious about, but skipped over those, a lot of Thanksgiving. Okay, so we'll do the football ones first, then we'll get into the Thanksgiving ones.

First question here from James at 15 Higgins. Overall thoughts on this year's rookie quarterback class? And who do you think will be the best player long-term? Hashtag ask Jage. The long-term question hasn't been brought up a lot about these rookie quarterbacks. Jage, who do you think is gonna develop and become the best long-term quarterback

of this rookie class? That's a really good question. Because I am a big believer that coaching and Organization and everything around you Determines how good you're gonna be? Obviously, we've seen Caleb this last couple weeks or this week in a different with a different offensive coordinator What will he look like down the stretch with that with with possibly a different staff in the future, who knows? That is a massive determining factor.

I don't know, Jayden, sorry, started out the year so strong. Couple little stumbles here, but we'll see. And obviously Bo playing extremely well. If I was going right now and you made me pick, I'm going Jayden Daines. Who? I'm sorry? Jayden.

Jayden. Really? Because Cliff Kingsbury? Um, I don't know. I like the way he flings it. I like the confidence that he's got. I like some of these late game... At the end of this last game, that pass of Jeremy McCormick was incredible.

And the Hail Mary, obviously, it's a Hail Mary, but still. He's just got something. He seems to have a little bit of that juice to him. He does have the... The swag. He's got the moxie that you're looking for. I mean that pass was so awesome,

the one that Terry McClure, and then missed the extra point. Brutal. But that play was insane. Absolutely brutal. I mean just absolutely heartbreaking. 33 seconds left, down 7. What are you gonna do with it? Rook, let me drop a dime and then this was on bad D yesterday for everything DB from Darius brother I guess there's only like five guys on a Cowboys defense that kind of had a loaf or a

In this entire thing whenever you broke down the film and what who was supposed to cover what but yeah, you're right I guess to have the composure of the moxie to drop that in the dime and also for us I think we're watching we thought maybe you would yeah right we got Jane Danos maybe so quickly he has become a guy that we have faith and belief in I think he'll be good I think as a chance Drake mays good yeah now depending upon the situation you know how it goes Bo Nicks with Sean Payton like that's the situation where we know that Sean and a quarterback have done well together for a long time. Cliff Kingsbury, how long will he be with Washington and Jayden?

Then up in New England, how long will that offense remain that way? So for me, if I was to project 10 years from now, even though this is Ash Jade, I apologize. I do apologize. I would say you should have the most amount of faith just through history in Sean Payton and Bo for sure probably Especially if they're gonna continue to get more money Yeah, as they go, but I think more people than one can make it this year great question there Thank you for using the hashtag ask James. I think his name is Hollins James Hollins Higgins Higgins thank you Jimmy hey Higgins was it? Higgins, thank you, Jay. And baby Jimmy Higgs. Jimmy Higgs.

All right, let's go to the next one, shall we? Connor went through and picked these. This is from Shaker Ezeizot. Shaker Ezeizot. JJ, you've somehow managed to burn a Thanksgiving turkey. Now it's up to you to pull off a last minute rescue. What's your go-to backup dish to save the holiday? Hashtag Ash Jage, at Boston Connor at JJ Watt. You are Scott Calvin in Santa Claus, brother.

Bingo. Okay and you can't say that you're just gonna take it down to Perkins. Yep. You can't say you're gonna do that. So what are you doing Jage and how are you in the kitchen and will you be contributing tomorrow? I mean I was you took my hand I was going. I'm spending an absurd amount of money on door dash. I mean, I am just going to town on whatever restaurant is open, whatever, whatever fast food, donut shop, anything. I'm just absolute smorgasbord in my kitchen counter with every food in town that's available at the moment. But if I can't do that, then I'm going through my own covers and I'm trying to,

I mean, we're going straight to the freezer. I mean, there's gotta be some, you know, waffles or something in there. I don't know, make up some chicken tenders, put every box of cereal on the counter, put some milk out. I mean, we are just, I'm giving people options. Yeah, I'm making bacon and eggs.

Like anything in the house is being offered. and I'm just cooking whatever we got and then you can say that you're trying something new this thing see yeah you know as long as it doesn't smell as long as everybody doesn't smell the burnt turkey you can probably get away with it if you were to door-dash everything that was open I don't know what all is open there's quite a Chinese no there's quite a bit I'm going on to eat for Thanksgiving tomorrow there's a lot of places. Excuse me. Oh, really? Yeah. We didn't want to. We're going for many. We didn't want to cook.

We didn't want to host. We're going to take the whole family out. Kind of love that move. Do you know where you're headed? Yes. I hope no. James, James, what are you saying? On the market. I don't love that move. Like there's definitely a part of me that loves it because it's like,, you know, it's just just do it's what's comfortable for you Just do it's happy but let's create some tradition. Let's create

Are you going to Fasoli's piping hog place called pizza? Cooper Hawk. Cooper Hawk. Yeah. That's open tomorrow. Yeah. Good restaurant.

Great. That could become a family tradition. Actually. Why does that place open? What the fuck? All right. I feel like that's becoming common. Also, these places are just like holidays and Sundays or whatever.

Like doesn't even matter anymore. Like we are just open all the time. Chick-fil-a. We can use a little more tradition. We can use a little more tradition. I appreciate Chick-fil-a and what you guys have decided to do on Sundays and I respect it. But also Bob spicy chicken sandwich on a Sunday afternoon would hit so hard. Yeah. So hard. Oh my God. I don't remember the Lord saying anything about Chick-fil-A having to be closed on Sundays. I don't remember Jesus saying you can't have delicious food on a Sunday. Me neither. I don't remember that. The opposite actually. God bless him. Yeah. Amen. God bless him is right. And that's why we love it. Six days they're

crushing everybody. Oh yeah. Six days of business they're crushing everybody. Look how much money they're just leaving on the table. But they don't care about that. No well. What about tides? What about tides? Aren't we trying to pay some tides? Yeah exactly.

Let's go to the next one. I'm getting frustrated chick-fil-a. I know. They don't need to hear that right now. No they don't. Let's go to Rudy Buena. Everything's good with Rudy. Hashtag Ash Jage.

You know, our friends at DudeWipes have really taken care of the wiping situation for people, but those who do it while sitting I I don't know how what walk up a hill one time. Let's get some legs Let's get a little bit of base there, but let's get back to the question that at hand

And what is the, is it five on five, four on four? I mean, there's kids in the family also. So it's, you know, you got,

if this is how it's going at your house. Mr. Jackson Johnson, Jordan Jennings, please. Can we get a little bit of revalued in this entire thing? For me, the apple pie is a winner. Gonna have to have that. Just dark meat, obviously good, but also add a ham in there. Sure.

Sorry extra gravy is anybody paying three bucks for extra gravy No, thanks. I don't think you need extra gravy that implies you already have gravy. So yeah, I'm good I don't need extra. How about them giving gravy for free? That's a big one Because if you talk to mashed potato fans, that is basically what the meal is. Don't need it. Have you seen that thing that says it's been going around the internet that says it's like the national

thing that a Thanksgiving meal for ten people cost $58. Yeah, okay. Have we talked about that? I didn't see this. I didn't either. You did. No I didn't. The way you said that I know that you did. Yeah I saw that. What happened? Is there an angle to it? Am I missing an angle?

Well I do believe this is potentially a, it's not that bad, statement being made by one particular and then everybody being like nah. I see. I see. I see. I think. one particular and then everybody being like nah actually yeah yeah i think if i read the tea leaves accurately whenever i saw the statement too when i'm paying 18 bucks for a coffee in the morning you know and i saw 58 bucks for thanksgiving for 10 people holy shit i was what am i doing yeah what am i doing wrong what store am i i'm at the wrong place i can tell you that yeah i think everybody agreed.

I think it was only one group of people that potentially put that out. And that was the people that, and then everybody was like, I don't think so. But that's one thing maybe don't talk about it. I wanna make AJ mad. Yeah?

Oh. Oh, you wanna make AJ mad? For what? What am I mad about? AJ and Nick, you don't get old pistol. Yep. All right. Don't ride on my bike. Right, that's what I'm riding on my bike for. All right, J know, good old baseball. Yep. Don't run him up.

Tough guy, tough guy. Tough, you're like a tough guy, tough guy.

To what he was called. He's called Tommy Tough Guy. Like, oh, okay, Tommy Tough Guy. See, that also has a negative. It does. So as I was presenting the question to him, because we talked about the biz situation, and we talked about like,

oh, that's like a J.J. Watt dream. Like that is. How many of those people out there, you know, we obviously mentioned your name as well, because we talked about the biz situation and we talked about like, oh, that's like a JJ watt dream. How many of those people out there, you know, we obviously mentioned your name as well, but then we remember JJ's statement from if I'm not able to walk in a room beat the fuck out of everybody, that's a problem. Because we're like, why are you lifting the way you're lifting if you're not going back to football? Why are you still doing everything? I need to know, it was his answer. And that got mentioned earlier today, and it was like, yeah, he is tough guy, tough guy. He's a tough guy, tough guy.

Once again, his first action movie, but the way he looks. Hopefully soon, is he in Red One? He has to be. Was it him that retired for a promising acting career? Let's get to a break, We'll get to a break. What do you mean, Tom? To what he said about people checking him,

like about how people forget sometimes, that happens with AJ every now and then. From us? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when he comes in here, like give him a shoulder, just walk by him. Holy fuck! Yeah, all of a sudden. That hurt?

Yeah, and he saw you doing this too, so he... Yeah. Yeah, tighten that thing. He was hitting you while you were hitting him. Yeah, we didn't know. This is like when Vrabes walks up to me. Yeah, bingo. And he doesn't think I'm seeing that fucking massive paw. Oh, I'm seeing it, buddy.

And I know this is a test. Flexed everything on the right side of my body. Boom! Hey. How you doing? That guy was trying to move me right there. That set the precedent for the entire conversation. Maybe our relationship.

I admit. You say say do I know you What's that all about? How do I know you have you got the bottom of that? I Have not I I am curious how like how to pull out of the end? How did they get that combo in? I think very much in the face. Yeah Is he gonna be right there next year? Yes hundred percent. be hard that's like a lock I think in everybody's eyes yes especially after how like the hardball has went this year how about Bill Belichick see head coach next year I hope so we're not allowed to ask about it I guess no we're not want him to get the record yeah that that was great. That was great, okay

Okay What was that all about you got it? Okay? You got it? Yeah, you're right. Sorry everybody's talking My apologies you want to coach or not okay answer a fucking question any of them You want to coach or not?

Love that. You know what else is coming on the other side of this break? We're going to wrap up everything from the week.

We're going to make our picks. We've got a Ram Truck segment. I mean there's a lot. A lot. And then obviously there'll be at least one more debate about mashed potatoes and stuffing. Sure. You don't wanna stick around for that because we got a new talking head. And this guy's an eater.

I don't know if it should. They weren't even the same row in that graphic. Yes they were. Could we just, no they weren't. Yeah, they were both five bucks. Yeah, but they weren't in the same. Oh, category. Yeah, they were saying they could live next to each other They can coexist

That's what I've been saying this whole time Yeah, definitely as long as it fucking doesn't touch my stuffing See? You're trying to fight me on your point And I go there? You go there Every time I don't

I'm okay with Stuffing having an appearance at Thanksgiving Yeah, exactly Having a presence Yeah, yeah You said stuffing, you meant mashed potatoes. You said, yeah. Yeah.

Clip that, clip that. There's a big article, I guess, on the internet, Jameis Winston hates mashed potatoes. Jameis Winston is not a fan of mashed potatoes. Please don't bring mashed potatoes to Thanksgiving. I'd rather just have a baked potato. Okay, so that's the only potato worse than mashed potato. Yeah.

Is it? Yeah, you're right. You pull though, you pull. You're right. Is it mashed potato worse than mashed potatoes. Yeah. Is it right? You pull though. You pull. You're right. Mashed potatoes are one dollar. There are so many great potato options. Hash browns, buddy.

Great. So good. Potato chips. What hash browns do you like? Do you like the shredded ones or do you like the McDonald's? I like McDonald's is the best one. Yeah, I agree. The Chick-fil-A one.

Both good. I don't think you can miss with hash browns They're all good always good hash browns right fries. I like most fries. Uh-huh Stakes a price think you know why? It's not cuz they're like if they're done. Yeah, cuz they have mashed potatoes inside of the fries and that's why they stink That's why everybody hates them. I was more like baked potato I hate some more like baked potato Kind of mashed I enjoy a twice baked potato so good. Yeah cheesy potatoes. Yeah, what about scallops?

Twice baked is just mashed potatoes inside of a show. Yeah, what are you talking about? The cheese is the one that makes it? There's so much shit in it, you assholes. Yeah but it already comes that way. It's way better. It already comes that way. Like it's a part of the thing. You can make cheesy mashed potatoes. Okay cool. If cheesy mashed potatoes is the conversation.

If bacon cheesy buttery gravy mashed potatoes are the conversation deal. Okay I'll have fucking put it on the plate. But just a Blob of just I don't know who is making your potatoes. That's good. No one's doing that at Thanksgiving The issue is with Sam she makes great mashed potatoes. I guess. Yeah, she does and I just I guess I just Space it's not worth the cow. It's not worth taking up stuff in space Not as if you have all day to fucking eat. Are you guys getting one plate? What do we what are we talking about? Yeah, definitely. I'm not wasting any of it on fucking we'll think about who said it boxy tiny little Tommy You guys get full on Thanksgiving

Do you for Thanksgiving? I eat a lot. No, I get full you said or get full get full like Ful yeah multiple you just gotta push through it. Yeah, but that's why I don't let mashed potatoes take up any fucking room That's not you're not living well The best part is the day after when you just throw the stuffing and mashed potatoes and turkey all into a skillet and just mix It all up, and it's oh no the sandwiches the next day are show the hawaiian roll with the ham with the stuffing with the cheesy potatoes boom you ever do the stuffing waffle what's that that's where you take stuffing mix it with a little bit of egg and put it in a waffle maker and make a waffle but it's all stuffing how good is that turkey on it everything on

Just the standard thanksgiving potatoes. My shows are fucking fire That's why And you know what was brought to my attention earlier? Why why they serve mashed potatoes in every restaurant in the goddamn country, but they don't serve stuffing because it's slopping. It's cheap Because it's cheap. No

Not true. What you thought there was some no answer coming back Why is it? Because it's cheap to make and they can upset No, not true. What do you thought there was some no answer? Cheap to make and making up so stuffing second Stuffing just bread with a little flavor. We couldn't afford the stuffing tonight. That's all it is stove tops go out figure that Oh, yeah, that's so expensive I'd be able to get that in every restaurant. Are you talking about the slop. You're talking about comparing slop. What are you talking about? I'm just saying everyone knows mashed potatoes, but you have some war. You have some gripe with mashed potatoes. I don't know what it is. You ate some mashed potatoes that tasted so bad when you were a little boy.

locked in. We're pretty late. It was a good game. Very intense part of the game. Silence in the gym because this is title for the rest of, you know, Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah. And it was very, it was, it was actually fun to be in a moment where you're like Connor and Diba on fire, rolling locked in, locked in. We were at the bottom bottom of the inning though so we had a chance to answer yeah oh we had six potential drop something in your he dropped something as you're going up for a shot Connor and them hit every single shot so they got bonus shots and they're on their way back there's 12 more points on the board they get to the top right before I mean as Connor is setting up to shoot D bone with his bottle

On Friday night, the Bruins get their asses kicked by the Pittsburgh Bengals. I don't think so.

I don't think so at all, especially just because of the state of things right now with the way we're going and the way you're going. Two completely different hockey. Marshawn is the first to play for the Pittsburgh Bengals. He's the first to play for the Pittsburgh Bengals. He's the first to play for the Pittsburgh Beng things right now with the way we're going and the Way you're going to completely different hockey Marshawn is potentially up for trade says Chris Johnston No

NHL news Yeah No Chris Johnson says if the Bruins don't turn things around Yeah, Brad Moore Sean could become a trade candidate You know where he's heading not Pittsburgh if the Bruins don't turn this around That's where it ends because the Bruins are turning this thing around with Joe Sackle So I don't know why the fuck we're talking about hypothetical. Hey, guess what if the world doesn't turn things around it's gonna end same exact fucking thing.

Okay. Boom. You're right. Never thought about that. You know who doesn't need to turn anything around? They just need to keep on going. Who's that? The Hut.

Yeah, well said. They actually sent a gift for you, Ty, with this glorious Thanksgiving Eve. Knowing how pizza's hot, and now Pizza Hut is actually, what are they offering? Yeah, no one out wines the hut Why are either you know? I mean what better time to gather amongst friends and and have a delicious full-bodied red tomato wine From Pizza Hut. Yeah

I'm not a huge wine guy, you know I'll go through my you know kind of ebbing and flow if you will and enjoy a glass but I just figured why not I mean it's Thanksgiving we got a lot to be thankful for we might as well and pizza has been good at everything they've done yeah exactly who doesn't love tomato wine with a little bit of vegetable oil or whatever it is in there to add the color who doesn't look I mean it looks delicious is it clear like a cherry 7-up, if you will. I know AQ saw this and said, give me a...

Oh, are you offering up? Yeah, I think so. Oh, wow. Is this communion? That's very kind of you. Oh, no, door dash done. Door dash done. Oh, I can't wait to try this.

So it is a bold tomato There you go, thank you you got it a full-bodied Red, which is a tomato, you know tomato wine and it's got The kicker here tomato wise not a thing. It's got vegetable juice for color and I love vegetable juice Yes, and certainly whenever it's just added in for color who who doesn't love that. Yeah, so he thought The wings are fantastic. So good don't get talked about enough I think it was wing house is the name of the right wing Street there is cuz Pizza Hut is on Wing Street And the wings are delightful the boneless wings which are just chicken nuggets with sauce on good

So why a lot of meat in there a lot of meat in there not just it's not all you know sizzle There's some real meat in there some real steak in there. I would their fries delightful breadsticks They even had these little chocolate brownie things. Oh, yeah, so good the cinnamon things Everything the the zucchi the bazooka unbelievable the cheese on top of the breadsticks So good. It's it's a meal in of itself. I would trust else pizza hut making anything Okay, cuz I love it. It's not as good doesn't always have since I was a little boy all the way through now. I Don't know if wine is in there Till now in their world. I want you to let it how are the legs? I made it it smells delicious

it's got a bit of a Okie after birth, if you will. After birth? Okie. Not a long guy. No, you know what? That's better than anything you're gonna find in Napa Valley. Okay!

And you've been! And I've been! I've been. I mean I wouldn't say I'm... look at AQ. He can't... I mean... It's delicious. Imagine... I'm getting an oregano aftertaste. Oh really? So it tastes like pizza? It does a little bit. And actually, you know what? It kind of tastes like they took a big New Yorker took a couple slices threw them in a blender got that kind of goop dumped it in one of these bottles and then added a little vegetable juice for color it's delicious that's a dream that's a dream so this is a thing this is not a bit right no i don't know not a big pictures of. I don't know if it's actually available for purchase I have no idea but I appreciate the fact that pizza and I might remind you

Amongst pizza hut and their competitors. They're the only ones that have friers in the building That's right So whatever their fried stuff comes whether it's the fries or the the boneless wings or the wings or anything like they're actually Frying them in there. I don't know how that helps with the wine They actually have several vineyards in Napa Valley as well. What's the ABV on that bottle? Do you know? Yeah, it's like 13 point is twelve point seven percent your average wine. Yeah, it's not bad. Connor you like a no I'm not a wine. You should take this. You should taste it dig digs feels like a wine guy. Why isn't he trying it? Yeah, I opened it why is the bottle why is such a baby bottle to it's very expensive I'm not mixed with all of them. I'm allergic to vegetable juice. So

How was it I mean what the fuck that's the best one yeah, exactly I can't believe that we're saying this is like, uh, what's everybody saying way better than napa Oh, yeah, you think I was kidding when I said well the tone in which you said it was in a tone that you would normally Speak whenever you could mean something But you're saying we're talking about the fucking hot here. Yeah, that is legit wine And they dipped their bottle like makers mark. It looks like Not yeah, uh If that was available in college, that would have been the only thing I drink. So I'm not a big wine drinker.

Um, I don't like the flavors. You know, how everything tastes afterwards. You gotta put the after. I'm with you, 100%. I don't like the after thing. That's why I'm not a big cigar guy either. Cause I don't like my mouth, the after. I don't like hanging out with it for the rest of my day you know tequila same thing happy to be out of that stage of life because tequila is with you for the rest of it

this feels like it's a just a drink feels like you're just having a drink yeah exactly where's it available Irvine winery is that what I saw is it dry or sweet it's like mad dog it's crazy enough Foxy, it's kind of the perfect mix of both. Foxy, you're a big wino, why don't you come have some? I'll try some. Guys, I'll pass the bottle back. Yeah. Pass it to me.

Then no one else will get any. Yeah. Where do they grow their grapes? Good luck finding it because the gift box is sold out and so is the wine. They grow their grapes in Italy. Same as their tomatoes. Those wine glasses are sweet though. The pizza wine glass.

I like that. They're metallic. Got the maker's mark top. It does. Foxy is a wine guy. I remember he's been in Italy. He just took a big old swig. It's not bad.

Foxy, right? Yeah. What? Yeah. Dude. It's great. What are you doing? You son of a bitch? Oh, sorry, it's not a fucking $400 bottle of wine When you guys said it actually tastes like pizza, it's not what I expected But it actually tastes like pizza. Yes.

Diggs just said I can't stress how bad this wine smells. So he didn't want to say that in a microphone, I think, but Foxy already took a dump on this one.

Oh, yeah, didn't he? I got the most unique wine ever. He took a big ol' steamy dump on this one. What does it smell like? What's it smell like? I don't know. Throw up. What?

That's probably one of the top bottle. Yeah, we did. We did it together. I think you got to drink the whole bottle on your own. That's what it's all about. Good job, everybody. That's what it's all about. Good, we did. We did it together. I think you got a drink a whole bottle on your own It's all about job everybody. That's what's all about. Good job.

Make sure actually good taste shout to pizza. We appreciate you joining the team

Big boneless wings bundle hell. Yeah, they're really pushing a boneless wings I think right. Yeah, it feels like every single time one of these pops up. It's a boneless wing thing They are good chicken nuggets. They are very good chicken nuggets a lot of meat, you know, you know Sometimes you get these chicken nuggets and it's all all topping not a lot of meat. They got good juicy meat They do but I Mean that's a great deal. It's a great deal. Mm-hmm. Get the fucking bone-in wings. If you're going to Pizza Hut, get the bone-in wings. You will not be disappointed. They are so good. They are the best like I guess local places probably have good wings in each city.

But I think they stack up with like you go to like any like restaurant around here, like their wings like actually do stack up. For sure. Like where you go get wings from. Real meat, good texture. The sauces, obviously if you have hot sauce or buffalo sauce or barbecue sauce or they have all the assortments of sauces. They have all the options, sauces are good.

And the wings have a good texture. It's not like a soggy. No. There's good meat on it. Good meat on it You know, that's why everybody's worried about Jersey Mike's. Yeah, exactly. You know, just got sold. It's true. I fear not What's that? Had it today? Yeah, but we got to get it before it gets you know, well, they thought there's some big growing Corporation run what I don't know who bought it. Do you know who bought it AJ? I actually don't know

I didn't even know it's sold I just hope they keep putting oil and vinegar on their subs That's what makes it special. Yeah, it makes it great and hopefully they keep putting a lot of meat on it But I think the company that owns it just like try to try to buy everything seems like right is that that company? Oh, is it one of these big conglomerates? I think I don't know that you say that's basically hopefully not but it's pretty much gonna turn the rock No, it wasn't no Was it oh who did it was a pebble no

Black rock White stone or some stuff a lot of stuff That's probably okay. Yeah. All right, hopefully Jersey Mike's isn't Thank you. Yeah better not better not All right, hopefully Jersey Mike's isn't, thank you, Ru. Better not. Better not. And Pizza Hut needs to just keep being Pizza Hut. They will. And try that one.

Hey, they need to not get distracted by a big number. Yeah, you're right. You know, because I think that Jersey Mike's is like eight billion. Yeah, it was. That's a big number. Yeah. We need Pizza Hut to not get distracted.

Pizza, you just keep being Pizza Hut. Right. We need you to keep being innovative. Hey, make some wine. Give it a shot, have some fun. You know the little chocolate brownie exploder things? Keep doing it. Fries in the fryer.

Crispy, good taste with topping. Can you even get topping on the fries? Lemon pepper on the fries? Oh, lemon pepper fries all of a sudden, the best thing you're eating. Let's make sure we're staying here. Because we don't need that wing to have this much meat It didn't have this much me no happy to a lot of places It did there were wing places and they had meat on it and then what happened they sold out and now we got no fucking

Speed lands. Just bow and constrict them. Speed lands. The dry lands are the real

deal. That's hockey training, that's terrible. Dry land is what they call it. That's when they're just running sprints on the field. Good luck at dry lands tonight. What are you doing? We're running. How far? Forever. Hockey sucks. Yeah. That's gotta be the most cardio conditioned sport, right? Soccer. Soccer's up there, right? But hockey's sprinting. All around.

Hockey's physical too. Yeah. You can get away with gliding a lot. Yeah, but in soccer you can get away with- Basketball conditioning. The only good thing though with hockey is you don't have that pounding under joints like your knees and hips. Your hips, I know, are definitely hockey players, but your knees don't take that pounding of

running. Every hockey player I've seen has the fucking ass trunks I don't know how those guys get comfortable with how your feet feel in skates either I agree like I do not get that it's the most uncomfortable thing ever not only your feet like this muscle Yeah, yeah, as soon as I put the foot like I used to roller to be Alice Is that what that is the tibialis I used to roll it in the front. Do you roll that? How do you what do you you can roll that? But I think you just gotta do it takes you got to skate over and over and over again before it gets cuz yeah

I'm with you when I used to blade all the time. No, no, no, no problems cuz you did early on though No, it's like it's like putting pads on you gotta like condition your body too. Yeah, so as an adult I somebody I think tone y'all roller blades. Yeah, cuz he was gonna roll the blade to work or whatever held it so Man, I would love to see that with his little book bag on A pile of gravity He was playing on dancing, you know down the sidewalk Instead the grinded a couple rails the old nemesis of roller blades a stone or two yeah really got him or the sidewalk that's up a little bit one one little section of sidewalk yeah that was a cool time

Blayden had a run there for a little bit oh yeah I know people roller skate you guys probably didn't live through like the ripstick craze did you what's that set this thing that yeah that's that? Is that this thing? Yeah, that's the one that like turns. That one was awesome. That had legs. Yeah, I didn't see that one. Because you just, it's not like blading, but you're just pumping your feet. Kinda.

Like almost like an elliptical. It has two... No, no, no. It's like a skateboard. But you can actually like, you don't have to like kick push. You're just... Sideways? Am I rolling sideways? Sideways, yeah. Yeah, it looks't have to like kick push. You're just- Sideways, am I rolling sideways? Sideways, yeah. Yeah, it looks hard.

It looks very difficult. Skateboard with two wheels instead of four wheels. Oh my God. No, no, no. I think that's one that would have stuck in a hilly town like Pittsburgh, that one you can really fucking go. And you're just, that's all like, you don't have to-

How do you stop? You just roll that thing back? Yeah, you're going sideways. So like for, oh, you turn that thing sideways. Cause like roller blade, you turn that back foot and you're just dragging that thing. Little T-stop. And you're literally shaving the wheels

at the same time as you're stopping. Same thing with that thing? No, you're just going sideways, almost like skiing. Like snowboarding. Snowboarding, there it is. Snowboarding, cause you're sideways, yeah. The hoverboards were sweet there for about what, a two month period?

Yep. Those are really cool Those are change the world kids still love you have been the locker room. They're all in on the kids Yeah, they got in the locker room and then people are pissed They were in the locker room because people were eating shit and then Then he disappeared. I didn't see a lot of Mike Tyson took that tumble They had the thing came out that the like charging port was like exploding Oh, yeah, yeah I feel like that was somebody attacking them probably because maybe how many of these are blowing up now granted

Who knows those could be accurate because the way they did plug that in with the amount of power those are fun So fun, I was I had it for a while about a year I was I had to run with them I mean I fell off multiple times and a lot of times you you phone you have to sprint out of it You know like something happens and all of a sudden you go running that thing goes flying into the wall Yeah, I used to have a good time on that thing. They're big training camp. Yeah people love them. Yeah save the legs Cruise down the hallway. Yeah, but all you need is somebody to crash What was the razor people kids

What is mashed as purest form? Well, what is any of it? It's just potatoes I'm saying potatoes like og growing in the grass, okay? Technology brought you mashed potatoes, a DVD per se. No, one person, one Irish guy stepped on a potato. All of a sudden, guess what it was? They weren't stepping on potatoes.

They're eating those things like fucking apples. Yeah, you're right, but that guy got sick of eating through the, you suck, he stepped on it. And then everyone was like, holy fuck, this is so good. What fucking apples. Yeah, you're right, but that guy got sick of eating through the, you suck, he stopped going. And then everyone was like, holy fuck, this is so good. What a genius. Yeah. And then they made other food. And then they continued to develop the potato.

Actually, it's about the Irish. You know, now that you said that. Yeah, the Irish. They just make other food? Yes. Okay, just so good. A lot of really good food. Like?

Guinness. Well, that's a joke. That's a food, you can choose for it to be a food. Shepherd's pie. Oh, so good. The shepherd's a joke. That's a food. You can choose for it to be food. Shepherd's pie. Oh. So good. The shepherd's pie and pork beef. Oh, so good.

Cabbage. So good. You guys have these everyday. Huh? Everything you mention sounds terrible. Bangers. Shepherd's pie. All of those foods are not good.

Excuse you. Guinness. Okay. Hey, shepherd's pie. Guinness is good. Shepherd's pie is mashed potatoes. Bangers and mash. Mashed potatoes. The Irish. Yeah, but the mash potatoes because all they had was a you that is the width They didn't have to mash them. They did

That's right. God damn right All right. Let's get uh, let's get out of here on two great things We started a segment with our friends at Ram Trucks. Five weeks ago? Five weeks ago, six weeks ago, whatever it is, five or six weeks ago, showcasing massive hits in football. Now they had to be legal hits.

Okay? Can't be illegal, can't be head hunting, can't be cheap shots. Gotta be sound football hits that absolutely destroy somebody. They're obviously a part of football, these plays. These plays are something that used to be celebrated. That had kind of gone away. Now we wanted to bring back the physicality,

the toughness, the grit. And showcase what football is, alongside our friends at Ram Truck. So we started hashtag Ram Truck. We've seen a lot of plays throughout this college football season get you know turned in to potentially contend for a 2500 heavy-duty Rebel Ram. Anytime you hit the gas pedal on that particular diesel-powered truck all you hear is a Rammer. It's like you're riding on clouds when you're in this thing Great interior great technology easy to find easy to use the toughness that you need Can get you out of any situation this thing is a glorious truck

And we'll be giving it away to one college football player who wins the hashtag ram truck Contest there's been one winner since we began at a Mount Union. We'll showcase at the end. This week there are three great contenders. There was a lot of plays that were mentioned to us while they were watching college ball. Somebody gets on X, use the hashtag Ram Trucked and then says when the play is, what game it is, what time in the game, and who it was. We scanned through them all. We found three finalists. They will take on Mount Union. Winner will be deemed the king of Ram Truck this week and they will have to defend their crown another week. Then once the season is over, whoever is the reigning king will win that

2500 heavy duty Rebel Ring. Hell yeah. Let's get to this week's contenders shall we? Let's go to Florida, Ole Miss, Gator Ram Chomp. Jordan Castell, boom. Shoulder, letter of the law, broke up a pass, obviously helps the defense, and boom. Brings the pain. A flag was thrown, they thought to themselves, that can't be legal. But then after review, they looked at it and they go,

perfect form, head out of the way, shoulder to ball ball and sternum that's a Gator Ram Chomp now let's go to Vanderbilt Vanderbilt taking on LSU this one's called the Vandy Ramador this guy thinks he's got it all figured out Yeah, it's boom boom boom boom Bryce Cohen two people one ram troll blows up a play blocks a dude into a dude That's real deal

I like that. That's the first one stone two bird situation Yeah in the ram truck that needs to be taken into account whenever the voting is done on X at the post that is threaded to this one now for the first time in the history of the Ram trucked segment. We have an equipment manager out of Cal after a chaotic win, a massive game. When the reunion was taking place with the 2004 team, Trevor, Trevor from California, equipment manager sees a guy steal a ball, was taking place with the 2014 Trevor...

Trevor from California, equipment manager sees a guy steal a ball, tracks him down through the crowd and BOOM! Bellied him back suplex, bitch! Get outta here! You think you're gonna steal a ball under my watch? You think I'm gonna be distracted by all the people that have rushed the field?

You think you're gonna be able to walk outta here on Trevor's watch? I don't think so. They showed the clip to all the people that have rushed the field? You think you're going to be able to walk out of here on Trevor's watch? I don't think so. They showed the clip to the team in a team meeting the next day. This is the reaction. What up, Joe? What up, Joe? Fast forward, replay.

Trevor's in the gray. Fast forward replay. Trevor's in the gray. Got him circled in team knitting. Get it! Get it! That is a ramp truck if we've ever seen it. those three will be taking on our reigning champion out of Mount Union. The Mount Boom play that has been seen by millions.

Hey millions! D-back Weston Arthur. Clean shot on a quick pitch. Loses his helmet. Mount Boom has been the Ram truck champion since week one Will any of the other plays be able to top the Mount boom will any other players potentially win a? 2500 heavy-duty Rebel ram wow that is right outside of Thunderdome right now whenever we walk past it

We say wow that majestic piece of prestige is certain Something that I'm gonna miss at this particular office but it's gonna go in the hands of somebody that plays football the right way it's gonna go to the hands of somebody that is tough somebody's physical somebody that isn't scared to lay it on the line for their teammates and that's basically in a nutshell what the hashtag Ram Sh Contest is all about. Good luck, boys. Good luck. How about buddy in the buddy? That was awesome. Hadn't seen that yet.

That might be the one. Yeah, because are you putting both Ram Trucks in it? That's 2X. 2-1. That's 2X. That's double stuff. You know, because you've got the front and the back there. Yeah, it is.

That is double stuff there. And then what about the equipment manager? Yeah, one of his. Hark. What a fucking... Because he took that moment and he could just bat the ball Yeah, he could just checked him for ball security could have done that but instead he goes We got to make sure this fucker knows never to do this again. Yep Full athleticism great sprint breaks through the people great grab twist

hips toss What a play. Fumble, hold on, ball, bitch, I think is what he said. Ball scared his job scared him, Bob, for all of us. This one, I think, has a real change. Yeah, there's a story behind it. What's that? There's a story behind it.

There's, you know, that gives it a little extra. Yeah, it's a moment. Yeah. And the Calgary rhythm might catch up to it. The Mount Union folks have been in, with a Florida Ram chomp, gather some juice with the Florida folks Because of everything that happened with Billy Napier this past weekend what the Gators are doing yeah, who would have thought the Florida Gators boom Boom Jordan Castell to win a fucking rebel Ram truck 2,500 heavy duty big boy to it one of them's gonna rolling around and

Gainesville down there Alright good luck to all vote on X there's a tweet a post that is threaded to this one we need you to vote over the next 24 hours while you're Thanksgiving show your friends have them get on have them vote check it out we'd like to know who is the Ram trucked King of this particular week and speaking of Kings ladies and gentlemen it is time to find out who is the best performing offensive line coming out of week 12. Let's go into trenches with our friend, Super Bowl champion, AQ Shipley. Here we go boys, happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving AQ. Happy Thanksgiving AQ. Thanksgiving AQ. Alright, so each week you've been ranking the top five performing offensive lines from the week before. Week 12 is the week that we're talking about here. This is not a culmination of the entire season.

This is of week 12. Who are the top five performing offensive lines? AQ, who's at five? The Minnesota Vikings. Wow. Ooh. They just signed Daniel Jones. They just signed Daniel Jones.

Aaron Jones, the other guy, right, had 102 yards rushing this past week. Big performance, they lost their left tackle, right, had 102 yards rushing this past week. Big performance, they lost their left tackle, should be back, but in this particular play, cause it's the first play of the game, Cam Robinson isn't left tackle, but we're watching Brian O'Neal, the right tackle.

Let's watch him pull around as he pulls around. Oh, nice little block by 11 on the edge, gets it started. Kick him out. Oh, jeez. Bury him, play on him, keep him moving, 15 yard game, first play of the game. I'd like to hear what D-Bot would say about that. What was he supposed to do? Kick him out. Oh, jeez. Bury him. Play on him. Keep him moving. 15 yard game.

First play of the game. I'd like to hear what D-Bot would say about that. What was he supposed to do? He cut the ball to his friend. Wow. Just at least take him on. Show something. We don't allow him to do that anymore.

Show something. Why? What if they take out your knees? You're going to be all mad about it. That's all right. I'm okay with it. I'm old school. But it's awesome.

I mean, their offensive line is doing a really good job. They have been great all year. They're obviously in the contention of being one of the better teams in the NFC They still play the Detroit Lions. Let's not forget that and they can take that thing over. Yes, they can last game of the year Yeah, thank you NFC North. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely flexed it if we can all right Who's the number four performing offensive line a week 12 a Q Shipley? the Baltimore Ravens Win time over 200 yards against his brother. I mean they had a heck of a heck of a game plan against them The Baltimore Ravens! Wow! Big win! Pro time! Over 200 yards against his brother. I mean, they had a heck of a game plan against them.

It didn't start the best, but check this out. They get out of the huddle. It's fourth and one. Let's look. Defense is confused. Joey Bost is not even set. Derwin James not even set on the edge, right? Fourth and one.

Get to the line. Get them so they're not set. We can catch them off guard. We're just going to run simple power. Pull the backside guard. Kick out with Ricard. And boom. We are going. Derrick Henry doing what Derek Henry does

Snagg sack guy in the head. That's it. Yeah, how's that legal? That's all right. We're asking how about the charges not being ready? Yeah, it's like it's one of those things where it's like you want to get your call and most defenses It's like they're waiting right AJ you talk about this all the time It's like you're waiting to see where the tight ends are you waiting to see where the strength is so we can give your what? Left right call whatever it is and by them hustling the line of scrimmage getting set right away and getting the Quick snap it gets them. It catches them off guard. You see that hand right there That is that AJ right? Yeah trying to call left I'm sure they're setting it to a certain tight end and both these tight ends are on the line

And you see they all kind of came out of the huddle like hunched They were all like real like muddle huddled together to not give it away exactly where they're going Why is everybody do this every time? It's a bad spot to be in if you're a defense especially Derek Henry on the other side Yeah And you can sit there and say that like with Ricard lining up strong left like that could be strong left and you can run A counter back the other way so it's not like that's given anything away And you still got Lamar and you still got Lamar to worry about which he can always do the fake handoff keep around and you can run a counter back the other way. So it's not like that's given anything away. And you still got Lamar. And you still got Lamar to worry about,

which he can always do the fake handoff, keep around. Exactly, he's one-on-one with the DB. And what you got? Two tight ends, two backs, 22 personnel. Old school. Old school. Strong side's this side though, right? Because of him?

Because of that, yeah. Yep. What are you supposed to do, AJ AJ who's supposed to make that play well I mean obviously you're getting what like Bosa's not lined up yet you gotta get some kind of penetration with your D line if you want a chance that's what if not there's no way you're stopping him for no game cheese I mean 22 is in a really tough spot coming down trying to make that tack yeah 22 on the other sides in a really tough spot coming down trying to make that tack. Yeah, 22 on the other side is in a real good spot because he's massive and fast. Yes.

What'd he go for, 140 or something? Yeah, 140. He's unbelievable. He's awesome. Number two running back in the league by a wide margin, but the guy number one is, he's actually in first and fourth place. Yeah, yeah. Did you see that?

Seguin? Seguin Barkley is the number one rusher in the NFL right now. And if you just count his second half numbers, he's the number four rusher in the NFL. Well, I mean, when you said that earlier about yards before contact and he had 250 more than Derrick Henry that was insane Let's talk about who's the number three? Performing offensive line in week 12. You guys saw him up close in person this past week the Detroit Lions Detroit Lions we've showed this play a couple times. It's different a little bit this time, right?

They always run the zone and then they use either the backside tack or the backside tight end to man, which creates that big gap. Look what they do with St. Brown. They send him back as a decoy, but watch what it does to 33 as he comes in the box. As 33 comes in the box and St. Brown comes back as the insert, he's just decoying,

but watch 33 hesitate just right there because he sees St. Brown and what does that do that do creates a big gaping hole right up the middle Boom just that little hesitation and now you got a 15 yard Yeah, wide hole to just run through untouched for 15 20 and secondary has to make a play so fast so good They're so good. That lines off. It really is right now has no boob either. Yeah Crazy, it's crazy what he's able to do. He's so tough. And like I said, every week, it's like you see this play and they just wash people 20

yards this way, man block the backside, and they have the biggest holes you've ever seen. So everybody knows this is coming. Yeah, but it's like, how do you, because something is off of this, right? Like if you sit there and fill the gap on Gibbs, guess what's coming off of it? A play action to St. Brown, because he has dual responsibility there. Or a quick inside hand off to Brown. Yeah.

Geez, Elise. Lions are cooking. They are cooking. Ben Johnson is certainly a name to look out for in his next coaching session. Oh yeah. The defense playing great as well. We don't talk about him as much,

but Aaron Glenn's got those bites going as well. That's right. Six points, sweetie. Not too shabby. Yeah, it's not too shabby and the blowouts They've been continuing to show people out to and that's without hutch without hands alone amongst others We had ten scoreless quarters or something. Yeah, ten scoreless quarters only eleven points in the second half allowed in the last five games Then it was all to the Packers

That's you better good up there. Yeah, that's you only yeah, certainly. They've been on this one every single time Let's go to the number two performing offensive line Somebody in this office somebody in this office is gonna be pretty happy about this one time. We get Green Bay Packers number two That's right. That is exactly right. Matt LaFleur in my opinion has done the best job coaching He probably won't win coach of the year But he's done as good a job as anybody when you take what he did early in the season with Malik Willis And when you take what he's able to do from week to week, he's running duo all last week this week He goes with this orbit motion, right?

We're gonna go this little orbit motion then bring him back and then we run this and we hand it off and you got The counteraction behind and he just beats the shit out of the San Francisco for now. Look at that hole boys Geez, how good is that? Your heads in a blender because you have no idea what is happening and they ran this particular Motion come back different people different times. They're doing it with Christian Watson number nine. They're doing it with Tucker Kraft they're doing it later with uh You know, they're running 30 the backup underneath and handed it to Jacobs behind I mean it was unbelievable what he was able to do with this game plan

Unbelievable you have to work that a lot right for the timing of this whole thing Yeah, and it's all the motions. It's all the stuff, but the best part about it with this whole segment is based off of offensive line It's the same to them. There's three people that have to change roles, but it's never the offensive line This is literally just inside zone with the receiver going behind and then you got Tucker Kraft coming back and cutting off the backside in Look at the block. He gets to by the way, just real quick. I Appreciate the offensive line think about Jordan love here on this play Jordan love has a sentiment in motion Yeah, that's a snap it at the right time. Yeah, then he's faking this way Then he's handing it off back this Jordan love on this particular play does a full 360 spin by the way the ball handling

Yeah, yeah, that is pretty slow. What a spin right there to 71 gets Devon J. Campbell and Fred Warner it's unbelievable let's also talk about this one quick note right we all notice where this game is being played it's a home game probably can't do all this shit on the road because then it then it's timing the snap with silent count and all the other stuff and now all this stuff with him sending it and it's quiet and you can make it and it's all verbal stuff it's a lot easier to do. Oh, so whenever your stadium gets taken over by the other team's fans It is a bit of a disadvantage a bit of a dissident. Yeah, yeah Green Bay doesn't happen right? No, never. Well, that's just the Lions early on actually did there was a lot of Honolulu blue

Oh, no, I think that was still kind of when people are like, hey We don't know about this Packers team and then then they went on the run, made the playoffs. And I think this year it's been back to normal. Okay, that's good news. All right, let's go to the number one performing offensive line on a week 12. I wonder who it is. And he surprised you guys, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Oh, congratulations, Coach De'Riorni. That's right. That's right. Stoutland University and the Eagles offensive line. Could have shown a multitude of plays, but instead we got two plays from you. Couldn't pick which 70 yard touchdown was better. instead we got two plays from you. Couldn't pick which 70 yard touchdown was better so we start with the first one.

Let's watch Landon Dickerson on the backside. Helps Juergens and then Juergens gets his nose guard or linebacker, I'm sorry, linebacker coming and gets him pushed frontside right there. He's going to push him to Juergens. Now Juergens knocks him out to the frontside A gap, gets the nice little seal block. Now watch Landon Dickerson climb on his back. Boom! Puts his ass on the ground. Little cut to the frontside a gap gets the nice little seal block now watch Landon Dickerson climb on his back Boom put his ass on the ground little cut to the outside. Let's go back check out that's huge real quick 18 right We'll get 18 come in from the outside here watch this. This is the block that springs it

It's always receivers hustling right? It's the one cuz that guy can make this play boom right there cut outside He's a little hump block How good is that got his hips in wall bear and then untouched for 70 teams good Teams real good. He was real good. Then we go to the next one. No, it's the same one. I'll say more. I want to see This tight end that's an interesting is that Carter? Yeah, it's got a lot of stats. Yeah He's he's on the backside 90% of the time, just so you know. Whoa, that giveaway. What are you saying?

Well, they can do all kind of stuff, but they want him on the backside. They want him just kind of seal blocking. Or they'll split him out half the time. They bluff him, get him on the second level. Hey, Kyusher said a little bit of a tall. Yeah. You guys got a little bit of a taller.

That's all right. The other five guys are blocking the shit out of people. Doesn't matter what he does. Amen. Amen, brother. Yep. And then we come back and we got the little lead play to the front side. Check this out. We get Bechtin, who by the way,

has turned into an absolute monster. He was the question mark coming into the season. Former first round of the New York Jets, move him inside to guard. We bluff the front side. Oh, that's called a log, right? We spill, we try and get the log and it's trying to throw off the second puller who's coming around as a second poor he reads it goes around it kicks it out and then did 70

more yards for another touchdown he knew too that's awesome when an offensive lineman gets to celebrate his work like this dude knows that he just made a massive play look at him celebrate huge play yep got him got him got him you're gone see you Jared verse to their good player Jared versus I mean that whole Huge play. Yep, got him, got him, got him. You're gone, see ya. Love you. Jared Verstoo there. Good player. Jared Verstoo, I mean that whole young Rams defense align, they're very awesome.

I mean, we talked about that earlier. I mean, they are so good. Jared Verstoo got my lotto. We showed that in the office earlier. I mean, he got my lotto one time, but he caught him. He caught him, he caught him really good. And he's having a hell of a year, but my lotto being back is huge for the Philadelphia Eagles.

How about these offensive lines? Congrats boys. Oh yeah, boys. Those are the best teams in the league. That's basically what you see. Yeah. Baltimore, Detroit, Philly, Maine stays up there every week. It's the other two, we got to figure it out. Okay. Alright. And you said that if you had to do a top ten, you wouldn't be able to do it It's I mean you can figure it out based on week to week But it is pulling T sometime trying to find he said some of these offensive lines have like a good week one week And then like crop the next week. Yeah, right. Yeah, there's only a couple very good units I thought Lambeau nailed it earlier and is in what he said and he's right. You were doing a full song

You remember? Oh, yeah, well on bows talking about you know, the development from college isn't really helping with the entire situation in the NFL. They need to find wrestlers and everything and AQ was sitting going, I like when people see the game the same way I see it. You and Lambeau? Yeah, oh yeah. He was literally saying the exact same stuff. Alright, well I want to let you know, great work there, man. And congrats to those offensive lines. And that's how we need to judge who's going to win and who's not going to win. You know, it's like the offensive line. You have no line, you have a chance. You have no line, you have not gonna win, you know Yeah, you're no line you got a chance

You have an O line you have a chance if you don't you don't have a great chance And if you have a D line, you got a good chance. Mm-hmm trenches, baby. Oh like Eli Howie That's coach Tyrone Which gave Mattel I think don't love that Why he's not the only one seeing all right? Thank you. Yes, Kansas City's never on there Does that worry you at all or is it just cause Patch from home? So it's funny you brought that up.

I think their interior three is as good as any in the national football league. I think that both their guards are probably gonna make first team all pro. Their center's gonna be second team all pro behind Rag now, right? So their interior three is incredible. They've had issues at the tackle position.

They just brought in my boy DJ Humphrey. So I played with for a bunch of years out in Arizona Cardinals, which is Standard Andy Reid, right? Like hey, let's see what we got for nine ten weeks And then let's get our guys for the playoffs and then guess who's also coming back here very shortly Pacheco and when that dude comes back this week for the playoffs night on Friday, is he playing this week? I believe that was the post Reds um, yeah, he is they're expecting him

Where was it Isaiah Pacheco and Charles The many who many who will play for the Chiefs on Friday against the Raiders as long as they don't have any setbacks Andy Reid said so I'm gonna hit him tiger. Oh many He was the guy who got hurt in the Superboy I think last year right ACL or Achilles one of the two Oh on a sideline. No, I was doing law. That was the night. Yeah, remember that jumping up to go in Yeah, that was crazy. Oh my god, the jumping up to go in. Yeah, that's crazy Oh my god, the Niners gonna ask themselves. What the hell snake bit Yeah, but to answer your question once that once they get Pacheco back and if DJ Humphreys now solidifies their left tackle position now

They got their group They got their guys to go with the playoffs and when the playoffs come he's gonna pound the rock Adam Tiker ESPN NFL Nation Reporter who covers the Kansas Chiefs head Isaiah Pacheco and Charles Mennahue will play Unless there's a setback, which we will obviously know before we get out of here and enjoy a hell of a Thanksgiving We'll be off the next two days. I Actually, I'm doing something crazy on Friday. What? Yeah Crazy's an understatement. It's crazy

Zany if you will it is zany. It. It's crazy. Zany, if you will. It is zany. It will be zany. Yeah. A bit wacky. Oh no, we got to do all of our picks. Maybe we don't do it this week. I mean, it's over.

Why don't you just do Thanksgiving? Yeah, we'll do Thanksgiving day pick. Yeah. That's smart. Because we don't know what's going to happen to these teams. Yeah, a lot of those players, you know, are questionable. We don't know if they'll play. Yeah, lines could change.

So then we'll also do the Friday game too. Yeah. Chase Raiders. There you go. That feels like the'll play. Yeah, Lions could change. So then we'll also do the Friday game too. Yeah. Chase Raiders. There you go.

That feels like the right decision. Okay, Bears at Lions, Lions favored by 10. AQ Shipley, who would you take there? I will take the, where's the game at? It's in Detroit? Yes. I will take the Lions. Lions minus 10.

Yes. Yes. AJ? I will ride with AQ here. Lions minus 10. We know Dan Campbell doesn't take his foot off the gas either once he gets the lead. Kinker, agree. I just seen him this past weekend. We agree on that one. Giants, Cowboys. Cowboys favored by 3.5. They're

playing against Drew Lock and the Giants. Giants getting 3.5 on Thanksgiving in Jerry World. Who knows what the Sun will be like? Who knows what anything will be like down there? Dallas fresh off a beating of the commanders where they are feeling themselves. They're back. Nice old reminder is what we're hearing now the Dallas Cowboys. I believe Big Mike McCarthy laughed at the thought of Jerry Jones giving him a contract extension at this particular point. So who knows where the state of either of these teams are?

AQ Shipley, who do you like? I like the Cowboys because I liked what they did with Michael Parsons finally putting him over a guard getting some mismatches And I think finally you think it's been Zimmer's fault No, but he's Adam on the edge and they haven't been doing a lot of the stuff that he's all the stand-up stuff He did with Dan Quinn. He hasn't been doing but this past week He did he got some sacks And I think the Giants have quit since the way they handled Daniel Jones Malik neighbors They come out and say something where everybody soft as shit in there and a lot of other discussions happening

AJ a lot of discussions in Dallas to just like six days ago So it could all change easy come easy go with these discussions about who has a good culture who doesn't who do you like I I'm gonna have to go with the home squad here give me the Cowboys at home Big Mike is seems to be having fun I think it is press conferences you know they don't have a whole lot to lose right now they're playing free give me the Cowboys Bruce yeah Bruce Bruce who's on your team Malik neighbors is really yeah but but he's pissed there. He is pissed. He did walk it back a little bit. What'd he say? No, I said, you know, I should have worded it different not call everybody soft as fuck But anyway, Dave all father shit. He said he rewatched the film cuz he was pissed. He didn't get the ball in the first half

He's like what the fuck am I supposed to do if I don't get the ball till we're down 30 nothing He didn't get the ball in the first half. He's like what the fuck am I supposed to do if I don't get the ball till We're down 30 nothing and he rewatched the film We only ran like eight plays offensively in the first half and I think DeVito got sacked on like basically every drop back No chance yeah Why is it only three and a half? That's why I don't know team stink. I want to pick I want to pick drew lock. I just want to let everybody know that I would like to pick through lock right now think about him rapping then because that's all I'm thinking And they got embarrassed and now they know hey this one's on prime true lock didn't get embarrassed now

But also remember what kind of maybe he got paid he was embarrassed and told me to veto was I was gonna say he he wasn't good enough to serve with Tommy Collins. So, you know, that's also something that's pretty embarrassed What's his name Tommy Collins? Tommy what colors Like the car the cutlass supreme Tommy colors like a call it a chicken chicken color Tommy colors like call it a chicken chicken color Who are you speaking like I don't really know just you know someone who lives in the Jersey area sound like Tony Tony's in Costco. Yeah, big Costco big boom AJ. He lives in bulk of a tongue He does ever compared Tony Sprado to fucking big boom AJ

Still working with that boot on his foot. He's putting in work. Listen, Big Cosco would never compare himself to Tony Soprano, so we don't need to bury Big Cosco compared to Tony Soprano. Big Cosco's a worker though. He had a broken foot, one through an entire match, one off the top rope. He did. He's a dog.

He did a shoulder tackle off the top rope with a broken foot. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Big Cosco, more power to you, bud. Like Kurt Angle. Everybody thought you were just bringing a boom and dancing. No, no, no. That's battling through.

Yeah. Put on a show. Couple power booms. Yeah, big time sit down power booms. Yeah. He, I saw somebody say that you were getting booed. No, no, no. No, no, no.

That was boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom that was boom this guy sucks they're talking about the other guy QT Marshall this guy sucks they're talking to QT yeah boom not booze you gotta it's hard to differentiate exactly that happens at wrestling sometimes mm-hmm I'll take the Cowboys. Dolphins, Packers, Packers favored by three and a half at home in the cold. What's the weather supposed to be? Has Joe Norto talked about this? Adam Schefter has projected that wide receiver Romeo Dobbs with concussion he's out. Jair Alexander knee and Edren Cooper hamstring are all out? Alexander and Edren Cooper didn't play on Sunday and Romeo Dobbs got his concussion on Sunday. So I think early to right expected

Yeah, who do you like AJ? Hey, Kish? We'll go. Thank you 28 degrees all the way to 26 degrees allegedly, but this could all change feel with the windshield It's gonna feel like yeah like 16. Okay. Thank you The good news is it's 40 degrees warmer than their game against Kansas City last year sure I still take Green Bay Okay, you got the Packers without Dobbs Jai your Alexander. Mm-hmm. Who do you like AJ? I? Like Green Bay, I think it's gonna be a magical night at Lambeau I know Lambeau was talking about that earlier, but yeah, give me Green Bay minus three and a half Gumpy Let me tell you a little story here fellas. Okay, please do we talked about the cold and to a can't play in the fucking cold

I get it. He's only played in below freezing twice in Buffalo 17 for 32 34 to tugs last year in Kansas City didn't look great 2039 199 1 Todd 1 interception. I know everybody thinks it's terrible. It hasn't been that fucking bad. That's Neil Brown saying we're not 0 and 10, we're five and five. But I do appreciate everything you just did right there. Cause I'm taking a Dolphins plus three and a half.

I think Packers win three and a half is a lot. I think for this game. Okay. Raiders Chiefs, 12 points. Chiefs. 12 points. Chiefs. At the phone of the Chiefs. Hey, Kusch. Who's playing quarterback for the Raiders?

Aiden O'Connell. He's back. Yeah. I'm going to take the Raiders to cover. Really? It's a division game. It's a night game, good atmosphere. It's at three o'clock. Okay, perfect, even three o'clock. It goes into the night.

It'll be dark, it'll be dark. It'll be dark, my bad. I set the clock back, obviously. You get it. Three o'clock's an interesting time. It is. So allegedly they didn't want to get past six o'clock or something like that.

Mm-hmm. There's some Friday rule, there's some Friday something. State championship games? You think of some deal? High school football thing? I have no, I legitimately have no idea. But I think... Oh, there was that rule.

Yeah, somebody talked about 6 o'clock on Friday, they were trying to get the game done by, something like that. Is it a TV rule or is it a Kansas City high school rule or something? I don't know, football rule? I've written rules. Yeah, I don't, there was something. It's bizarre. We agree, put that thing on. Yeah, it should't there was something bizarre. We agree put that thing on

Yeah, it should be I'm 20 only game on on that day We're also back to the Chiefs not covering they haven't covered in six games this year when they're favored by six or more Yeah, 12 is a lot of points I also think with a backup quarterback game plans are simpler you lean on the run game a little bit more Let's try and keep the ball out of my homes better defense Raiders their run game fucking stinks Okay, that's okay. lean on it too much. Okay Hey, Jay, who do you like? So as a queue was speaking I was thinking yeah, I'm going Raiders all day 12 seems like a lot but Pacheco back. Yep

Chiefs give me the Chiefs minus 12. Yep. Taylor Swift definitely gonna be in a building too. No doubt Maybe I don't know. Does she have any shows this weekend? We should ask. She was just in Toronto earlier this week. I think she is in Vancouver. She has six shows straight or whatever. Oh damn okay. I thought they were dumb for this. She's not gonna be there. I saw she's making homemade pop tarts for coaches at the Chiefs saying thank you. Congrats on a win. Have you talked about Max Crosby? Third fastest to a hundred tackles for loss? No is that right? Is that what you were saying? JJ Watt I think and Reggie White. Max Crosby? She's not in Vancouver till December 6th actually.

So she got this weekend off? Yeah I believe. So she's definitely yeah we assumed she's doing it there. She will be there in Vancouver for Little Santa yes. But there's an article here it says Donna Kelsey on why Taylor Swift likely won't join Travis Kelsey on Thanksgiving and Donna rules all so That's on Thanksgiving. We're talking about the next day All parties, yeah exactly we hope they get to enjoy cuz Donna Kelsey was on the Today Show talking about her dinner rolls Chocolate chip cookies too, right? Yep. Brought them to the Super Bowl.

I know everybody's jacked up about Kylie Kelsey getting a podcast. Jacy Kelsey released a garage beer song last night on social media. He was all in. I might win a Grammy. All in. And a Tony.

He danced too in there in the middle of the thing. Just big burly, Singing, drinking a beer. It's like two and a half minutes, make sure you watch the whole thing. So, the Garage Beer. We've had it before, right? Yes. It's from Ohio? Oh yeah.

Yeah, Bobby Carpenter. Good story. Garage Beer. Doesn't taste like ass. Yeah, that was the Bobby Carpenter. Yeah, there's plenty of Bobby clips. Jason and Travis from Ohio Ohio with an Ohio beer. I appreciate it.

Hopefully it works out. Cheers to all parties. I got the Chiefs minus 12. I would pick the Chiefs though, and they would not cover basically every fucking week for about two years. Yeah, in these last six. Raiders been bumping their gums a lot though. Kermit the Frog

Pre-season I'm a bitch. Oh, yeah Got about that. Yeah all of it Gotta remember all that. You know, that's we have to remember. What's that? How lucky we are to do this. Oh, yeah, that's right Yeah, tomorrow's a good time to do that. Mm-hmm. And there's some people maybe that uh, don't have the greatest setup for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Well, please know that go on the internet. There's a lot of people under football show up for you. I hope next year's Thanksgiving is better than this one. And I hope this one is the best one you've ever had. Hope you have the opportunity to, you know, kind of isolate your thoughts.

And just like Nick Saban said, instead of thinking about what you don't have, let's think about what you do have. And if it's not everything you want let's make sure next year is even better but if it's right now it's everything you have is everything you got so you might as well enjoy the shit out of it. That's what gratitude is about. That's what Thanksgiving is about. When you eat that stuffing that tastes so good. Mmm. Oh so good. And you have that ham that is just so delightful especially if you put it on a little Hawaiian roll and make a sandwich. And you have that ham that is just so delightful, especially if you put it on a little Hawaiian roll and make a little sandwich.

Connecticut loses to Colorado and to Memphis. Memphis seems like in a wagon They weren't even ranked right? No. Yeah unranked. And they got 14 pink Polas Rolling around over there.
