Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the Thunderdome on this wild Wednesday December 11th 2024 this program starts now! Football! It's wonderful and obviously there's a lot to talk about in the NFL world there's also potential news coming out of the college football world today. At least that's what the insiders are saying now who knows more about the entire situation? Who has the right inside track? Pac-Man Jones made an announcement for his alma mater's

West Virginia head coach last night. Obviously, that got the world buzzing. Yeah. It's Pac-Man, Adam Pac-Man Jones. Be loved back at West Virginia. Potentially could be plugged into the right people who maybe are in the say and in the know of knowing who's going to be the head coach everybody else that

basically is talking around and says that decision hasn't been made yet but I think you know I'd like to echo the sentiment of Adam Pacman Jones if that decision was made I think a lot of us would be pumped now there is certainly a lot to weigh for Ren Baker, who's the athletic director for the West Virginia University Mountaineers, okay? He is an athletic director who's 45, 46 years old. He's a guy who was previously at- North Texas.

North Texas down there. He came into West Virginia, had to make a lot of hard decisions, had to make a lot of big decisions. Obviously, Coach Huggins, Huggy Bear, who has been beloved there, but obviously whenever things start happening, like right after each other,

he had to make a decision for the team that wasn't necessarily popular amongst a lot of people. But now with the new coach that we have and the future of that basketball team, we all assume that West Virginia Hoops is gonna be good again. And if they win, obviously that's the right decision. Soccer teams, he's had to make decisions, they win. Baseball team he's had to make, they win. Rifle team obviously, they win. If he gets the football

higher right and they win, this guy is going to be talked about as one of the greatest athletic directors in the country. Now how long will he remain at West Virginia after making that right decision? Maybe he'll be able to call West Virginia home forever because we'll all invest so much in sports that are associated with West Virginia that'll become a job that you don't want to leave and maybe experience warm weather all year round. But nonetheless, I have faith in Ren Baker, I have respect for Ren Baker, and I think Ren Baker has done his due diligence for this West Virginia job. Now I think there was a total of like 15 people that got interviews just once again, this is not me, you know, diving in, this is me just listening

to Pete Damos of the world and other college football sources and everything like that. Then I think a couple got whittled down into some in-person interviews. Maybe those interviews did not happen at West Virginia, those interviews happened at the places in which the people who got interviewed were at. And then I think those people were told 24 hours,

probably have an answer, that would land us too today. So I believe there is a chance that we find out who's going to be the next head coach for the West Virginia University Mountaineers. And I want to let whoever it is know, I'm with you. Let's fucking go. Okay. Okay.

Okay. I think. Yeah. Yeah. TBD. Talks at the table is here, yeah, cause some name could pop out of nowhere. You never know.

What are we doing right now? How do we do that? Gonna have to show me. Gonna have to show me, but I will always be a West Virginia supporter, but there is an opportunity here to obviously get good quick, especially with the way the transfer portal is I think there is gonna be an older coach. Although I've heard that there is a very young coach I'd be looking for his first head coaching opportunity still in the mix as well and

That particular name that I heard would be pumped to see how they would do as a as a head coach at this place But if it is an older coach that gets a job and gets an opportunity now in a P4 program, in a Big 12 with a great brand, in the current state of college football, Kurt Signecki went over to Indiana. These guys who've been coaching a long time or older, they know ball.

Yes they do. If you don't, you don't have these jobs for as long as you have them. You don't stick around for as long as you have them. This is a meritocracy especially at the coaching ranks. You either win or you get the hell out of here that's kind of how football is. It always has been. So these guys that have been around a long time especially with the way Kurt Signecki just did his thing at IU and he wasn't taking guys that Alabama was looking for, Georgia was looking for, Texas was looking for, Oregon was looking for. He

found his guys, he found his crew, and now they're in the 12-team playoff when for the last 50 years IU football was nothing. West Virginia at least has a brand. We've been there before, we have success stories throughout it. Whoever gets in there is sitting in a very good opportunity and if big money guy wants to get involved, that'll certainly help out a lot of things. It's never bad.

So whenever I said Iowa State and Arizona State enjoyed us, West Virginia's coming. I think you're about to get some news here in the next 24 hours. That's gonna make you all go, he was telling the truth. Uh oh. West Virginia's on its way and I think big news is coming. Now NFL news is happening around us as well.

I'm incredibly pumped that this hard knocks is doing the AFC North now It's not just me obviously it leaves and dies with ball the talks the tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt AFC North special place you're learning about a little bit. I think yeah, absolutely I mean, you know I you always think with the NFC North at least that like oh it's kind of similar in terms like the cold weather and everything like that, but Hard knocks when they do it in season when it's not just like all these stories that in the end we don't really care about. It's guys who are barely going to be able to make the

team. Like seeing Tomlin talk with guys who are going to be like have crucial points in winning games on Sundays every single week and these other coaches too. Like it's just incredible. Like you said, like, you know, I think everyone kind of has an idea of what goes on in these buildings, especially with social media now. But then you watch this and you really do get like, like when are you ever going to be able to see inside the Steelers building?

Like Tomlin doesn't seem like the raw, like he's not always looking for a camera and given one of those like candy ass interviews or whatever. Like what we're seeing with them every single week, like it really is like, you got to cherish it and appreciate it because I don't know how many more opportunities we're going to be able to see like an unfiltered look like this with these teams.

It just doesn't happen off. Yeah, we have no idea if the offseason Hard Knocks is going to happen again with what happened with the Giants. Right. We have no idea if anybody's going to be okay with it. We have no idea if in division Hard Knocks is going to be good going forward if everybody is going to be okay with it. We have no idea if in division Hard Knocks is going to be good going forward if everybody is going to be okay with it. But what we're seeing is majestic and it's not just I mean the Steelers are definitely. They steal the show

right. It's not just them Steelers steal. Yeah the show exactly okay and Ravens are on a buy so there wasn't much from them and obviously the Steelers are currently leading the vision and on their way playing better ball than they have in a long time and they've won two now divisional games in hard knocks So that is kind of their it's kind of their show at least has been so far Yeah It going forward but it's been nice to see how you know Zach Taylor operates in a way

He talks and the truthfulness in which he speaks to his team hard ball obviously addressing things and then Stefanski I have in mind in watching Stefanski kind of do his thing because when you're on a team that doesn't have a chance, now how do you motivate? Mm-hmm. Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler is here. Did you see that speech from Shelby Harris last night? If you didn't, here it is from the defensive meeting room, maybe front seven, I'm not 100% sure, whenever a coach, D-line coach, looks around the room and says, all right, does anybody have anything to say to the rest of the group? About how we finish the season when technically nothing is on the line is anything on the line miles Garrett Shelby Harris give answers

I'm gonna be honest with Joe. You know you know what it is You know when you get into part of the season like this You know just playing for this year you play the next year you playing for your life in the league You're just playing for this year, you're playing for next year, you're playing for your life in the league. You know, teams gonna evaluate all this shit and look and see who you are. If they need to go draft somebody in your position, if they need to go, if they need to let you go and bring somebody else in, I'm just gonna be good, this is the honest truth about it.

This is the evaluation period. And this is not the time to let shit down. This is actually time to raise your play to show that you could be the guy. That you are the solution, not part of the problem. This is what they're looking at. This is just the guy's honest truth. This is what they're looking at. Are you part of the solution?

Are you part of the problem? This next couple weeks is truly just an audition. An audition to see who the fuck is going to be here. To see if this is our livelihoods or NFL livelihoods. And then he kind of just drifts away. Kind of cinematic there at the end, the way he delivered it. But it was a very real message.

I think Shelby OG was kind of looking around the room, letting people know, hey, it's not guaranteed that we have jobs next year and that was kind of what he was laying out. Those welcome to the NFL this is a business not a sport anymore moments are huge. Yeah it was you know you always get the either from a coach from OG hey nobody's on scholarship anymore. Now college is such a business now it's a little bit different. I'm sure these guys you know a little more on point when it comes to that but yeah when you get to this point in the season you got four or five games left. We always joke about it

Hey guys are planning offseason trips and shipping cars and doing all that shit But that film is still being great. Everything is still being evaluated. Are you still showing up early? Are you still getting extra lifts? Are you still watching that extra film people watching those coaches that group? We always say that group will never be the same they'll be in different buildings So, you know, you're not only auditioning for that team if you're a problem with the solution for that team But for the 31 other team so it's good when you have an OG like that in the meat room Really laying it out how it really is because you can see some people shut like somebody on a guaranteed contract two three more years 30 40 million left. Yeah, they can shut it down. Go get a surgery and they'll be good.

But if you're not in that small, very select group, everybody else is kind of on that chopping block. Be who you can afford to be, I think, is obviously the case. And I think that is why anybody comes out and says, they're tanking, they're tanking, they're tanking. It's like in football, I assume there are some people in buildings that are looking for their team to lose,

hoping for their team to lose. Personnel groups, groups ownership groups whenever it gets to a part of the season where hey There's nothing on the line except for maybe draft stock and maybe there's a big guy coming in the next draft That'll change the trajectory of our entire team in building in city So like whenever we were losing because Peyton had neck issue that none of us really knew about until training camp Because Peyton had neck issue that none of us really knew about until training camp walk into training camp get summoned down To the training room go into a back room Pains got wires all out of his neck. I found out a training camp. That's what I found out shit That's why I found out it was gonna be like Bad, I knew there was something going on, but I walked in saw that whole thing. He's getting things shocked or whatever. I'm like

Holy are we all right? Gombe, Gombe, you know? And then I immediately thought, I've said this before, I was not preparing to punt as much as I feel like we're about to punt. And then Kerry Collins gets called in, you know, out of a tree stand, I think he was actually hung. Then Curtis Painter.

Then Dan Rolofsky, inevitably. And that whole year, everybody was like, they're sucking for luck. Suck for luck. Fans were even like, yeah. Jersey's already sold. Yeah, let's do that. I would just like to let everybody know, that was the only season I've ever been around something like that. Everybody in that building did not want to suck.

Everybody in that building wanted to do very good so they don't get fired and they don't lose their jobs. So much of the coaches were actually like, hey, our group needs to not be the reason. Yeah. Okay. Our group needs to not be the reason. So whenever, if we lose this game, it is not on my ass and it is not on yours as well. Like that is kind of a motivating factor.

So to hear Shelby still say that in 2024, it's like, hey, everybody in this room could potentially be selling insurance next year. Okay. We need to remember that. You're getting an opportunity to play in football games. Just like the preseason is like a showcase for some people, but most people it's just a waste of time. It's like this is almost like a, this is an extended preseason for some of these guys. Real clips, real footage, real highlights, real low lights.

And then whenever you're talking about in the meeting room and in the cafeteria and then training room equipment manager It's like are you just got a real asshole or not like in the actual season? They're finding out so I love Shelby Harris spreaded that message legitimately Burrow kind of says something along the same lines to like, you know I think in his post game pressure like, you know, we'll find out a lot about you know The guys that are in this building with the rest of the season But obviously playoffs not being you know there Well, and that was one of Zach Taylor's kind of like whole entire things when he was talking to the team earlier in the

In the episode he was like hey what I'm thinking about is the feeling in the locker room after a win and we haven't Had that in four months like that's what's motivated me all week And then to your point about guys who might have like bigger contracts not kind of you know being able to take it easy Maybe guys who might have like bigger contracts not kind of you know being able to take it easy maybe Stefanski showed a clip at during one of the team meeting of like the four or three Three of their highest paid linemen probably players at this point still playing They're like all these guys on Jamis's first pick six reach that are top speeds and that was another thing You know they showed those guys and I think in Joku dapped up why I tell her during it But a hilarious part was the Stefanski James sideline during the Broncos game of that cut up before he Started singing those pig sixes around the yard at Denver was also. Yes, the fans key doing his coaching thing

Which is what coaches are supposed to do? Hey, I don't know what we're doing on offense But we're throwing for 400 yards today, so no matter what we choose to do, let's make sure the ball is in five's hands. And then literally the next play, pick six. And it's like, damn, damn, like Stefanski. And then Jamis, obviously, that's when he prayed for the Lord to-

Deliver him from those picks. Deliver him from pick sixes, which? He did. Picks, not sixes. And that's the way the good Lord works, you know, mysterious ways in the entirety of it all. I've enjoyed this hard knocks a lot though, but I also liked the fact that people

who are not in the business, which is why we say things whenever we hear about stuff happening in like a building. Like, hey, this isn't just forever. Now for some of those guys, it somehow it has. You know? And they made a lot of money off of it all. And you know, there's some good players in that building,

like Colts building. So whenever we hear stuff happening, it's like, this is stupid for you, and this is stupid for everybody to do it. Let's not waste it. Let's go ahead and get after it. And I enjoy that. George Pickens, his hamstring injury.

I like to hear George Pickens on the sideline say, man, I want to be playing so bad. I enjoy that. George Pickens, his hamstring injury. I like to hear George Pickens on the sideline say, man, I want to be playing so bad. I like that. That was a good baby face move by that entire thing. Mike Tomlin coaching up Joey Porter Jr. after having six holding or pass interference calls on him the week before, just kind of breaking down like, hey, it's not going to happen as fast as you want it to.

It's going to work. We don't change the way we play at all. And then just like walking away while Joey Porter jr. Is putting in his contacts It's like that's like great. That's how real coaching is to you like a interaction Pump up also acknowledge. Hey can't be having that happen need to get better. It's like all those little things I think people are getting an inside look at a man who was a player and a coach I don't know if he's ever on hard knocks should have been gentleman Super Bowl champion. Thank you Hey Q you enjoying hard knocks you watching it any nostalgia to get back in there maybe coach more playing no nostalgia whatsoever

I see and those guys are doing a great job They can I hope they continue to do a great job But my favorite thing is exactly what you just said it that's my favorite part of watching coaches coaches It's though it's the walks in the hallways right it's during the stretching lines before it's like hey I can get my message across to you without embarrassing you without doing this in a way that only you and I need to have and then we keep it moving yeah and those little drive-bys or little messages or mantras are you know that you said not being embarrassed in front of the crew there's all those

things that happen or acknowledge in front of everybody because they have to be. If they're not acknowledged in front of everybody, you can't acknowledge anybody in front of you. From good coaches, though. So I've been I've been in some places where they wouldn't acknowledge like, you know, a big time player, like a starting quarterback, you know, highest paid corner, you know, he gets beat for a touchdown

and not giving effort or something like that. Like I've been some places where coach may not do that. And then other places, everybody's kind of held to that same standard. It's, you would assume that like you need to point out the obvious here. You know, you would assume that we need to point out the obvious here. And it's like, anytime I hit a shank, I knew everybody in the team was going to see that. You know, I, everybody was going to see it now. The whole crowd just reacted to it and tomorrow everybody's going to see it.

And it's going to be a, uh, can't have this this right? Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Can't. Yeah. Fucking ruined my whole year. That entire thing. But it's like you need it because everybody needs to know that you're acknowledging it. Yeah. But it is the one-on-one conversations. It is the motivation, the lift, the lift up, the final thoughts. Like I'd be jogging on a field, Atomic Man would be like, Hey, remember bang the bat. It's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, good reminder. It's like those little things that are real coaching. And that's why I take so much effort. 100%.

And exactly what you said, the reminders are huge too, cause like it might, something might've happened a week ago or two weeks ago or a week ago. And like we say in the NFL, like everything lasts for a month, right? And so like they might run a blitz that somebody ran three weeks ago and you're just about to run out in the field,

and it's like, hey, just quick reminder, watch that TT. You know, and it's like. Oh, that's good coaching. And then when it happens. I got decleded by a TT three weeks ago. It's like, all right, better get my depth, better get back, right? All right, we love hard knocks, we love the NFL,

and we'll certainly get back to that conversation. But now we'd like to do a little bit of reporting. A little bit of journalism. As many of you recall, on November 24th, a superhero arose from a beautiful restaurant out into a parking lot, then into a CVS. That superhero was actually the one responsible for taking down an alleged Irish gypsy family of anywhere between six and 20. But to really understand that particular superhero story and why it is one that should be saying from the highest

of hills about this vigilante taking a crime family in syndicate literally into his own hands you have to go back earlier in the day to really understand who these scumbags are Let's go to the Raven Golf Club November 24th late afternoon a Slew of gentlemen that will be very familiar in these videos doesn't like whatever's being said to a bow Punch in the face up against the wall throws a right hand now not bad block there from Server don't know who server is I wish I would have learned hand up like that ate a right to from and another and another from these scumbags and You know these this particular group here obviously a bit boosted up This is Raven Golf Club and have bit of an anger issue some disagreement and they just started throwing hands causing

Absolute chaos that was at the Raven Golf Club You would hope that just because of that incident somebody would call the cops and say hey Chaos that was at the raving golf club. You would hope that just because of that incident somebody would call the cops and say hey Bunch of douchebag assholes. Mm-hmm are just started swinging on our servers here at the golf course Well this particular slew of scum bags couldn't let that be the only thing they did that day They get kicked out of that place Obviously and by kicked out they get done swinging punches on random people innocent victims and they say we need to go and do this somewhere else. So they pick a beautiful place

in Scottsdale called Houston's. Now, this is an upscale bar, restaurant type place, and I believe the people that go there absolutely love it because what a spectacular, spectacular place. A.Q. Shipley, you live out there in Arizona, you love Houston. Love Houston. Everybody loves Houston. Love Houston's. Everybody loves Houston.

Everybody loves Houston. Yeah, that would inevitably be the problem for this group of douchebags here. So what would happen in Houston's now, we got surveillance footage from the restaurant. The crew that you just saw in the golf course is now surrounding a general manager of Houston's and putting this finger in his face.

And the general manager says, you guys got to be sitting somewhere to get served. And they start getting physical and man a superhero an anonymous Bystander at the restaurant says what are you doing? You guys can't do this But drops one of them in the middle of the bar after getting swung on and saying boys You can't do this 20 people would follow this one man out of Houston's and shout out to the front door

Which we would also get surveillance from there be full chaos speed it up We got kids we got babies coming out of here man Oh God get out of the way get out of the way big slew of douchebags are fighting one guy Shout to the man holding the door bit still backing out green shirt the man that was swinging in the golf club is the one Leading the charge everybody else. I assume that guy's the boss there kind of slowly walking out general manager says that's right get on I assume that guy's the boss there kind of slowly walking out general manager says that's right get on That would spill out of the front door into the parking lot in front of Houston's the man who would have to retreat and back Up and eyeball. Maybe these people will stop. I'm backing up what a quarter mile now There's a sweet lit up bike here driving by and obviously we assume the bike would be on the right side

But if you look on the top side Biz is still backing up this superhero is still backing up this crew of douches is still chasing them through the parking lot how many yards how many miles are these douches willing to go to get revenge even though the man was doing the right thing and they were the assholes something would inevitably happen over here maybe was a big-time shot they would run the hero would continue to retreat sprint as they followed him Finally they'd get him on the ground and these things would pounce like hyenas they would start to attack the shirtless hero who has been

battered and banged and kicked one kick two kicks three kicks Four kicks five kicks right to the face right to the head right to the chest and right to the head, right to the chest, and our hero would escape, get into a CVS, which is right there, and the crew would not follow him inside. This is what the 911 call would sound like from the hero that we just watched save Houston's and inevitably save the city of Scottsdale and Phoenix from any more chaos. There was a couple of people harassing other employees and I tried to get in the way and they just all started throwing punches.

Okay, were they punching you? Oh yeah, I guess. Oh yeah. I had to run out of the restaurant. So he was able to call the police. I assume many people in the restaurant were calling the police. I assume many people at the golf club were calling the police and the police would catch up with these men and they would interview them and body cams will be running.

Let's go to the red shirt, the asshole that was doing all the kicking. Here's him interacting with the cop as they find him at a country club nearby. What happened up at Houston's with the rest of your friends? I'm not sure. I don't know what you're talking about. So you didn't get into a fight with a bunch of your friends? I'm not sure. I don't know what you're talking about. So you didn't get into a fight with a bunch of other people? No sir.

Okay. So you don't know any of the other guys that are also from Texas staying at this hotel? Sir, I can just tell you that I have no idea what you're talking about. Okay, let's start with this. Where are you up at Houston's? Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about. Did you go to dinner tonight? That's a simple question. You obviously weren't at the hotel because you just walked out.

Where were you coming from then? I was at the cake. You're at cake? Yeah. What time did you get? Cake is a dance floor. Yep, I know. What time did you get to cake? I have the cake. You're at cake. Yeah. What time did you get? Cake is a dance floor. Yep, I know. What time did you get to cake?

I have no idea. So, I have no idea. This is Fancy Pants, red shirt, obviously we saw what he did. Let's go to another one of these dummies that was obtained, or obtained? Footage was obtained by a police cam, whatever they catch up, and listen to the descriptor of our hero in this story. Who would you say the main aggressor was in this whole situation? Like, I'm trying to figure out, because I know you mentioned some dude with tattoos. That guy with the fucking tat, I don't know who's the aggressor inside, I would be a liar if I told you.

Okay. I don't let you know that whenever you see this guy, you see this guy and me fighting in a parking lot, you'd say, he's gonna beat the fuck out of him. He's got not a lick of fat on him, he's fucking tremendous, he's got a giant patio, he's built like Dwayne The Rock Johnson, my uncle's fifty fucking year old. Is he a white guy, a black guy, Hispanic? He's a Hispanic guy with black hair and a black beard,

and he was pushing and shoving just as much as everybody else. Okay. But that's whenever I showed up. Now, you could have won. Okay, this guy, he's a Latino man. Huge. Looks like Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Ladies and gentlemen, said Latino.

Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Biznasty Biznasty. Yeah, man. Do you smell? What the rock? He's a cookie. What a breakdown, Pat. That was incredible. Well, I just had to catch everybody up to what was going on.

And obviously, you were the... Hey, wait. You always... Hero's not the word. We're not going with the hero. Any one of you guys in there would have done the exact same thing. Okay. So we would like to think so.

And I assume there was people in that restaurant that would say, hey hey if somebody was fighting somebody, I would step up and do it. Nobody helped. Okay, we watched that in that video. You were kind of all by yourself. Massive crowd was chasing you out of there. Can you take us into that bar though? Houston's great place, great place Houston's. So in the Houston's, they were pushing the general manager, was that the guy that comes running out afterwards? Is that who they were So the the guy who came running out afterwards who gets pushed up against a car was the assistant manager Who'd actually already removed the guy in the red shirt? That's what this video is not showing it obviously shows where the the altercation ends up taking place when I go over But keep in mind. I know nothing about the thing that happened at the golf course an hour and a half earlier

Right I go to Houston's I was by myself that night normally I go with my buddy Joey Superstein But I was there by myself normally I sit in the bar area But it was so busy that I didn't get a spot So I go down on my spot and when I was ordering just like a traditional salad like I always do Do you want to hop in? No, I want to go back to the beginning so we can get you from the whole part whenever you're eating your salad there. Go ahead yeah I'm sorry. Well but the thing is though is I don't think that Fox put that. They cut it out right so you don't even see the guy in the red

shirt before this because when they all came in this guy in the red shirt was like screaming in the restaurant so everybody's turning around and when I'm ordering this salad you could see the ladies like the who's taking the order the waitress her jaw drops and I'm like what is going on over there and I look and then the assistant manager walks out that Sean Daly kid the guy who ends up kicking me in the head three times he looked like you could try to hit a 50 yarder. I saw the extension on that guy he was swinging hard he was swinging baby legs ability to get that but he was swinging hard there That's that's foot the face. It looked like

That's a that's a boot F. I'm gonna keep my language PG here for this whole whole segment So but to go to go back to that So that's what drew everybody's attention towards the bar area and that's when the manager who was still Talking to the guys as the assistant walked out the Sean Daly guy was explaining to them hey like this like you guys don't have a seat you guys have are obviously wasted you need to like you guys can't be here and that's when the guy in the green just like he looked like in the video when he was at the golf course he started getting in his face and backing him up against that back bar on the right side as you can see. So that was taking place for like 20

seconds and the waitress had already left and I kind of veer over to look even more being like am I seeing right is this guy like actually getting in his grill. So after it kept taking place finally after about 45 seconds I got up and walked over there and the guy had his arm up again it was going towards the manager he'd already had it in his face where the manager had to remove his arm I go to eat at this place four or five times a week I know these guys I family they wouldn't they wouldn't harm a fly they're they're very cordial and you could see that he's like shocked

almost and I'm looking around and nobody's doing nothing like not one person's going over to like help this guy out so I walk over after seeing this for 45 seconds and I grabbed the guy's arm I go listen buddy I said if you keep harassing and assaulting the staff here I said I'm gonna bring you out in the parking lot we're gonna have problems I said that like I said that maybe that didn't de-escalate the situation. But I, listen, but I'd also seen enough of what this guy was doing and if you go back to the video an hour and a half prior, like there's a certain way a guy stands when he's about to throw a punch. Right? There's a certain way a guy's, and he, and a certain, in the midst of that

45 seconds, I'm like, he's just waiting for the manager to say the wrong thing and he's going to drill this guy. So the minute I said that, that left my mouth. One of the other guys started swinging and they started coming at me and then it was game on throughout the restaurant. We ended up probably brawling in the restaurant for about 30 seconds. I ended up getting pushed against that main bar. You can't really see it because we go out of frame.

There's a statue there. I get my shirt ripped and I'm just like, oh geez, there's, there's, it feels like there's nine, 10 guys. I got a back pedal because I don't want to get caught because if I get caught, they're going to keep kicking and punching me in the head. That's the type of guys these guys were. And obviously I was bang on by the time we ended up getting over to the CVS. So Red was already kicked out. That guy was already kicked out So he hops he was So that was why when I came out the door I knew that he was out there because I'd seen him like I saw him get kicked out So I'm like well

I have to make sure I know where this guy is when I when I leave the door because he might sucker me if I'm Still facing the other guys so I basically run to past him past the the covered tarp, and then I'm like, okay, there's nine guys and they're not really backing off. Like they're all coming at me the entire time. At a certain point, there's a little bit of separation there, but that's where that other guy, the William Carroll guy, ends up pushing the assistant manager who's now outside,

who's trying to break it up, and he chokes him up against the car. And he eventually comes back around around right before you see this they were all surrounding me on the Where you the trees are all blocking it and then William Carroll sprints past everyone to come at me And that's where I get him with the right you bring up his mugshot. You could see exactly where I got So that's why I want to run it again. Keep running the video there because I have it actually right here So I got this thing on Piero for you biz because I did see you know a lot of conversation about that. Um

So here's the the final spot here, right? You're sprinting you're getting away That's when they're just like they bull rush because I just knocked out their buddy who sprinted at me And what do you want me to do? It's self-defense. Like what do you want me to do? Yeah, so they get you on the ground there Okay, they get you on the ground there. This is not good. This is what they've been waiting for though They've been waiting for this Dwayne Johnson looking son of a bitch To fall down insane so they can pounce look at this guy turning the corner coming around look at him coming around this Hold on wait. We got him down. Let's kill this guy Yeah, let's go kill the guy in the red. The guy in the red is that Sean daily kid

I believe he's also the one who had the fake military ID so he can get discounts all over town that he was terrorizing Among with lying to the police officers there's about not even being involved in this and the fact that we've gotten countless messages to a guy named Shea Stevens who's done an Unbelievable job online as a private detective uncovering what these guys are actually about and how they scam everyday Americans going door to door and basically just bringing up these fake companies and going around and robbing people essentially.

So there you go. Let's count about these kicks though. Let's count these kicks, because it's insane. There's one, right? There's one. That one got me good, boys. That one got me right in the noggin. There's this he tried to get you there good dodge Look at that. That's the foot. That's the new for the brand logo

All the way up that's two okay, then obviously he missed with that well, he's gonna get another shot on your side three He missed with that. Well, he's gonna get another shot on your side three Four miss five right there to the head So he tried to get you five times with a kick But what is happening during all this because you kind of get captivated by that to go back to your point Look at these boys up in the top here now. Okay. Look at these guys up here. There's three guys up here Okay, look where they go directly to they head back this way are those people with that group or yes I believe there was there was a few guys there who were originally part of the hyena pack but now they're

going to aid to William Carroll and make sure everybody knows his name and if you don't mind pulling up his mugshot this guy was he must have been on something else other than booze he's the one on the bottom left. Now the one on the bottom right there, Sean Daly, was the one who gave me the five high kicks, three of which landed. The one who had the fake military ID. The one up there top left with the lime green collar,

as you can see, Danny Bradley. He was the one who punched the people at the golf course, and he was the one that was getting in the manager's face at the Houston's. Like this guy, this guy, I've said it on the manager's face at the Houston's like this guy this guy I've said it on the podcast. I want the legal system to take care of these guys But if they don't I would gladly waive the civil suit if that Danny Bradley would meet me in a ring somewhere and I would love to televise it for the

The American audience to view this guy get a licking that he deserves based on how he's treating people out in public Is that him in the green right there pal and on that's him and that's him in the green Okay, so green and red by the way I just want to take this also take this time to think like the police department and all the Deputies and everybody who showed up very fast on the scene from the minute they were called at Houston's I think the word was out there though because the incident was called in at the golf course so they were aware of these guys around town apparently they went to Ruth's Chris and other places where people have had message that Shae Stevens being like these guys were doing

this all over town like it wasn't just the golf course and not just Houston's and also there's somebody who's operating that camera so shout out to the police department who operates that to end up getting that on camera to prove what these guys are about. And I just wanna thank Houston's and like I said, everybody who's on the right side of this. Now, I do wanna mention that Sean Daley didn't show up

in person to his court date. He did hire a big fancy lawyer in town. I got his name here, Larry Kazan, in which I guess his son goes to ASU and his son Shot a DM to Shay Stevens the guy who's doing all this background work for us and uncovering who these people really are and Ben's Kazan Larry the fancy lawyer son wrote him eat a dick and called him a Canadian pussy fancy lawyer son wrote him eat a dick and called him a Canadian pussy so seems like Ben Kazan doesn't really want the legal system to play out he's him and his father seemed to be okay with having people visit and act like this locally

when in fact they live locally so I must be losing my goddamn mind here at Larry Kazan's kid thinking that he can send this to a guy who's trying to undercover who these dirtbags are to keep him out of Scottsdale but it seems to be that they want him to walk free and be okay and and this it can just slide at our local Houston's family restaurant. Abyss, I love the Houston family and I appreciate the hell out of you. You're thanking everybody. I want to thank you for stepping up for people and going to bat against these scumbags and ultimately shining a light on something that's probably been happening in here for generations I was following alongside Shea Stevens

But understand no matter what that dude DMS or how those people feel like it's all there like everything is there It's all you guys are gonna win in the end and they're gonna look like dipshit, you know, so They're saying that I started the fight, but by going over and saying if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we're gonna go out and have problems, it's not necessarily an invite to then do it to me. But hey, if you wanna go, you wanna tango,

I guess we will, and they came as a hyena pack, I needed one or two other guys there and we would've been fine. Well, that's what we, we have a couple friends that live out there. Jj. Jj Aq could have showed up obviously a Q. I met him at the open last year great guy See, that's what we're talking about. That's right, brother If this big head would have showed up at CVS, then just give me a call

I would've been there dude. He's boxing in people's basements over there waiting for something Yeah, he's dreaming of this type of man Which kind of leads us to you like doing that that in the moment, not a lot of thinking, right? Not a lot. You had no idea when you ordered your salad and you were waiting that you were about to get into a, what did you describe it as? Well, a Donnybrook.

A little bit of a Donnybrook became a little bit of a runaway there. But you had no idea that was gonna happen. You just saw somebody that you care about getting threatened by a group of mean and bad people. It didn't matter what or how it was going. You said, hey, you're not gonna act like an asshole in public and for you to handle that business

the way you did, I wanna let you know, we all say thank you. Thank you. Hell yeah, biz. Thank you, biz. Thank you guys. We need more of that, brother. Thanks to Boston Connors buddy Brad Marshoff

for putting me in a casket on TNT the other night and even the week before How about that Boston Connor? Yeah, that's deserved if you keep running your mouth at Brad Marsh on you're gonna get Houston's over and over again when you visit boss Yeah, those are some Irish gypsy bums they didn't seem to have good balance there was no good balance I didn't train it Mickey's like at the Ravens golf club You're talking about the the video we showed at the beginning there of him punching people It's like he lands like four punches on somebody's face and that person's still very much just yeah He ends up clipping the waitress at the end, too

It's just like they closed their their establishment at six o'clock and they kept flickering the lights like hey no more drinks and and you can't tell these guys no you can't hey if these guys want a cocktail and they can't have it you're gonna eat a knuckle sandwich that's it that's what's going on and but going back to Boston Connor I mean Marshy's a beauty and I mean I was getting getting guys like that on the broadcast is so good for the league if we had 12 more broad Marshals, we'd be making as much revenue as the as the NBA at this point So those are always invited and it was a it was if you can't if you can't laugh at yourself guys And you know then you're the joke right now

And also what you're doing in the way Aaron phrased it And I think the way we phrased it immediately upon breaking it all down when we heard about the story It's like these Irish gypsies allegedly Shay Steven shout out for your work, but everything I've read The biggest of scumbag car artists who just kind of get away with it and this is just their family Tradition in all this they'd never run into a hockey guy before you know, they do their little scams They do their little scams get money leave town skip town show up at a golf club terrorize them nobody knows who they are they're gonna be out of town within an hour or two anyway so who cares they're like they're living as if it's back in the

day when you could just go town to town outlaws and just kind of terrorize people that's what they're doing they had never in their family's history run into a hockey guy no no then one night in Houston's, in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona, a hockey guy just happened to get a call. Apparently the Arizona chapter is pretty rattled at the Texas chapter because these guys like to do this and fly under the radar, all the scamming and everything they're doing.

But these guys are just going out doing this everywhere. So apparently there's been a bit of a riff. This Shae Stevens guy's been getting messages from both sides where they're all turning On each other like this could end up being a lot bigger in a sense of uncovering more and more of what these guys have Going on but the fact that that that we ended up uncovering at least some of it I just hope these guys pay the Piper to teach them a lesson as to what not only what happened at Houston's what happened at Ravens Golf Club, but what they're doing to everyday Americans like this is this is rubbish. Like what are we doing

here? Like this guy's cruising around with a fake military ID getting discounts like acting like he provided service to his country. Like this is a joke. Like this is just the tip of the iceberg to full time scumbags generational scumbags. Allegedly. Obviously we have to say that from everything. Allegedly allegedly. Yeah, well, yeah Yeah, cuz we don't need Larry Kazan coming after us and his kid in your DMS. What do you say? No, I said cuz we don't need Larry cuz I'm coming after you and is what the DM said He said eat a bag of dicks I think he said is what he did and he called me called him a Canadian pussy cuz the guy who's doing the undercover work

Was that is a Canadian? So what is who's doing the undercover work was a Canadian So what is that? I don't know what was that all about? It's a great state I don't know it is a great state up there. I've never ate a bag of dicks But I could imagine it's not as good as a traditional salad from Houston with Thousand Island It ain't as good as that. It ain't as good as that artichoke dip not a chance. I got a chicken dicks chance Pat Okay. Yeah, okay. I love that chicken dicks. Is that what you. Not a chance. Not a chicken dicks chance, Pat. Well, okay. Yeah, okay. I love that. Chicken dicks? Is that what you said there? Yeah, not a chicken dicks chance.

Okay. But you guys got anything else for me? Like, I appreciate you guys having me on and shedding light on this and appreciate your guys' support. Pretty cool when you and Aaron Rogers are giving me props and the rest of the crew, obviously. But like I said before, you guys would have done the exact same thing. I just needed you there. I wish I was there can't wait to probably gonna live there later in life love the place love that you did it for them let's talk a little hockey you talk about Marshawn obviously they get a new coach coach Sackle who was actually Connors little league coach I think.

Yeah yeah back in Winchester Sackle I played with his son. We we kind of go all the way back I believe there's a chance I might get a shot Maybe a 10-day two-way contract with the bees, but how about the Bruins obviously last night they get absolutely Dismantled so there's a bad time to bring up the Bruins, but do you like the Sacco move and they have played much better Do you think this is kind of where the season turns for the Bruins? And who is the team that we need to be watching if it isn't the Boston Bruins? Yeah, I mean do I like the move? I really liked Monte. I just say it wasn't even that bad. They were just one game below 500. I think that they had way bigger issues and you know the management will go back to saying that they didn't really have a good training camp and

maybe there was a lack of response and Monti's message had kind of fallen on deaf ears. I don't know but the thing is, Sako is definitely a lot more defensive minded. He's trying to get them back to their structure and improving in a lot of areas they've been horrible at. Like one of the most penalized teams in the league, one of the worst offensive teams, their power play was, at least going back to last week was 31st in the league So normally this is a team that has a great culture great special teams

Great foundational defensively and great goaltending and they just really got away from that. So They've had an improvement in their record since Sacco has taken over mind you the The teams they've played against haven't been necessarily the highest of caliber. As you see last night, they finally play a top team in the league and they get waxed. So I think in that stretch of games where they went on like a six and two, seven and two run, they'd only played two playoff teams. So do I think it was the right move, not necessarily in the long run, but maybe in the short time to get the spark for the guys. It's just kind of, you know, he's collateral damage and also let's not forget

Monte was offered from my understanding a three-year deal at close to 10 million that he turned down Knowing that he's a top coach in the league and probably knowing that st Louis or other teams were prepared to give him a big deal and my understanding it was a five years times five million that He got from st. Louis like within a week so Right move for him and his family. He's got ties to st. Louis and he's off to bigger and better pastures and Boston You know at least they hit the reset button. I'm a bigger and better Bruins can't can't afford their coach No, we can afford their cheap. I mean what what they're cheap Bruins are notoriously cheap. They've been, their hand has been forced considering the, the, the trend in the league is you just

have to pay your superstar players, but it wasn't necessarily a common theme. Now they did have guys like Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marsha who were also willing to buy in to the hard cap and take team friendly deals. But when McAvoy Poster, and now obviously Swainman, when those types of deals have come up, they're not gonna get the deals anymore. So they can't be cheap, but where they can try to be cheap is with their head coach.

And they try to be cheap with Swainman, and we all saw how that all went down. That was a bit of a debacle, which created, in my opinion, horrendous juju in the locker room, and that was a reason for part of their slow start. Yeah, I didn't like that, what's happening with Sway. He's good on her show. Yeah, that was bullshit.

He's great for the city, he's an American man as well from Alaska, but what Biz is kind of dancing around is that a lot of people, at least right now in Boston, have a problem with that front office in Sweeney. Oh, really? Yeah, at the current moment in time. Oh, they don't love what they're doing. Especially because of what happened with Monty.

Okay, oh, you yes turn on the Bruins we're not turning on the world and and Boss, I don't Boston Connor. I don't know if you'd heard this as well Like they basically told Sacko be prepared to take over the team partway through the year Yeah, if things don't necessarily get off to a hot start Montgomery has the best winning percentage the last prior two seasons. They won a president's trophy then they lost their two best centermen in Cricci and Bergeron and then they still finish with well over a hundred points and I want to say that his winning percentage is like 700 as a

coach over those two years and then all of a sudden you have a little bit of a slow start. You're one game below 500 after you just you just fumbled your goalie situation by dealing all mark too soon and then messing around with Swainman and then you make the sign that the signings that you didn't bring in Zdorov and Linholm and maybe weren't working out at the beginning and then you're kind of throwing your coach under the bus. Listen, I have no issue with management in Boston, but I think that there was a little bit of fumble fucking going on with what they had to take care of and And they should be part to blame for that slow start. Absolutely can't be fumble fucking around up here

That's what we can't be doing it about that. Yeah, it's bullshit, but they're figuring it out now Yes, they are cuz coach soccer soccer soccer's got the boys buzz. We're playing with our socks out All right, let's talk about go ahead. You're gonna fit you. That's can I ask? Can I ask one favor of Boston Conrad can I get relieved of the rest of my push? Yeah. Yeah push-ups happen way Fucked in the head, but also putting a casket by Marshawn on live television two weeks in a row Yeah, my good will wave ten of them. So you'll still have we'll still have five five to say Oh, is your t2 t3 from that bodying that happened you you recovered pretty quickly I mean you're able to to kick to the face.

Your face afterwards, you did a video, what like seemingly 20 minutes after the whole thing, and your face compared to those mugshots was like, can this guy bruise? What even happens? And then Marshal comes in and just T2, T3, is that what that was? What happened to you?

He got me right in the vertebrae. Right in the vertebrae, right there. I'll out four to six. I always what i said though is is the ahl and the nhl but more specifically the ahl fighting guys at that level those guys were like bigger stronger they chucked more weights that prepared me for that because i would have to fight jeremy oblonsky uh the nasty murastes and the list goes on of guys in the American League where you would do it Friday, I would get beat up. I would get on a bus, we'd drive to the next city,

2 a.m., get off, unload your gear, sleep at the Motel 8, and then do it again the next night, and then do it again the next night, and I was getting bambied most nights because I'll throw them, but not necessarily that tough. Yeah, took some, gave more. Back then, gave some, took more, took more obviously way more took a lot more Yeah, as you can see my nose used to be normal

Yeah, when big nasty Mcnasty and earthquakes bake whoo swinging on ice every single Sunday I mean bombs you're in a bad spot, but we appreciate you doing it cuz you represent hockey Well and society perfect guy to run into these scumbags. Oh my god the money perfect guy This guy's been fighting Mcnasty on the fucking ice for years You think you're worried about a couple bad? Have you ever seen that? Have you ever seen? Shorsie the show Shorsie. I've seen clips have not seen full episodes Yeah, well nasty morass John nasty morass He was one of the toughest guys ever playing the miners and and he's in that show as one of the one of the

Characters so I'm sure sure people listen who watch letter Kenny or Shorzy will know the reference to John nasty Morassi and mr Nasty Morassi. Thank you for your service Anybody to put their face on the line for sport I'm Yeah, I've seen this photo before Before Tito or T holy hell hey if you want some you guys do your you how you love hockey clips Yeah, pull up him and him and bossy in the Quebec Fighting League I want to say they fought fought ten times and they would go old school toe-to-toe where they would punch each other in The head like 20 times

Marassi I think got knocked out like four to ten times like oh cold on the ice But every single game they would play they would go toe-to-toe at center ice So pull up him and him and boss these fights if you can to get the crowd going I don't want to get into a full hockey was better when that was happening type thing But that was certainly like a part of the show You know like having a big dog who was there to protect star and also if we get down by two or Lose momentum somebody go out there and fight and do this thing That was more so a part of the show back in the day now, they're still fighting but none of them like staged

Holy shit. No, these guys are just Mutants these guys are okay clips bossy there. Wow. So I think you thought there's there's a there's a full collage on YouTube where I think it's probably about four or five minutes long maybe longer where these guys are doing this every single game like look at these guys. This is not how I thought I protected my face a little bit a Little bit if I'm marketing that minor league game, I think you're marketing Marasti and boss know yeah, I have Round nine tonight, and then there's also a hockey game happening that used to be awesome to watch now Let's get back to modern hockey. Yeah. Oh, yeah, the reigning defending. Oh, yeah undisputed shot to Paul Heyman

Lordo Stanley Cup champions. Yeah. D-Bud has a question for you. Absolutely. Biz, all the boys here, Nick Gump, you always tell me how tough it is to make three back-to-back-to-back Stanley Cup runs. But look like the Panthers are kind of avoiding that hangover. Rhino, Barky, Chucky, and all the boys are buzzing right now.

What are the chances that my Panthers can run it back? Um, you know If there was a team that I would bet on who could get back to the finals I would say that they could do it because they have such strong goal tending their their core group of guys is large and And and they're just used to being there and they're so reliable What they do a good job of Zito and staff is they're able to replenish the areas with the money They have left over and address the needs where you know a lot of these guys who ended up winning with them who became free agents They're gonna go get more money elsewhere

Just based on their production like all of rec from Larson was a great defenseman that went there who was on making like a million and A half dollars and was playing like a four or five million dollar fence and well he's off to Toronto so they go find the next best thing to plug in so based on the coaching staff that core group of guys and how many weapons they have and that culture in the locker room I would say that like I wouldn't count them out if you get back to three back to three Stanley Cup finals back to back to back years like in this modern era like you like that is something to be celebrated. That is such a difficult achievement especially with the grind of the 82 game schedule but

just what the seven game series entail in the Stanley Cup playoffs and how draining they are physically and mentally. It would just be a testament to that organization those guys in the locker room but They're off to a fairly good start this year They started out really hot and then they tailed off a little bit But you have to imagine at some point they were probably a little bit exhausted coming down off that high Yeah, cuz they're just boozing down there at the elbow room every damn day We're at it. I think it thrown into the ocean have a blast it became hockey time down there

Yeah, they became a hockey time down there. Yeah. They became a hockey town down there. Hopefully, it'll continue. Hopefully, the game continues to grow. And you're only helping that, Biz. You're the man. That show on TNT, fantastic. I think the vibes are great.

I think your relationship with the league is one that they need to make sure they cherish and hold on to. You're great for the sport. You're great for the sport, you're great for us, we appreciate the hell out of you. Thank you guys so much. Right back at you guys, you guys are crushing it and you know we got a great team at TNT and the league's been thriving and very receptive to you know hockey's a very like you know team oriented sport where individuals don't stand out but the ownership and everybody understands that there is an entertainment value and you know getting guys on and doing the things that Marshawn did

and silly stuff like that is only going to grow the sport but like I said the hockey community and Gary Bettman and the rest of the crew have been very receptive to that so I appreciate the compliment and you know we're just trying to grow this thing. Hockey is an amazing sport and the states are starting to realize that more and more. And Four Nations coming up, you guys got a wagon of a squad. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

USA's. It's our sport. Yeah, we're bringing the hammer down. Yeah, it's our sport. Nah, I wouldn't go that far. It's our sport. If Canada becomes a state, then all of it's our sport? Uh-huh.

When it does. One last shout out to spitting chiclets, by the way, because obviously the TNT thing does great work for the NHL. What you guys have done digitally is captivate a lot of people because you're able to get the most out of these players. We haven't heard a lot from any of these guys over the years. You guys help out so much. Thank you for everything, Biz.

You're the man. There's no TNT for me if there's no rear Admiral RA, Ryan Whitney, Mike Grinnell, Elliott Fish, Pasha Eshki, Dale Morningstar memes it all started here boys and like you guys mom and pop started to grow it and look where you guys are now so thank you guys so much love coming on with you guys and continue to grow the game as well. You're the best. Thank you guys so much. Ladies and gentlemen a man who looks like Dwayne the Rock Johnson. He's a hero. Do you smell what the rock is cooking?

All business. Yeah, man. Latino man, for sure. Latino man. Do you smell? What a wild story. Yeah. I get texts from people that like,

had no idea this happened. Wow. Is this real? Yes. What the perfect guy for that to happen to? No kidding. Perfect guy. That's so far.

They chased them down so far. How'd they not get tired? All of them. I wish I was there. It would've been great if you would've just rolled out in your little, those things you put on your feet. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. You would have- I got Bill was there. It would've been great if you would've just rolled out in your little, those things you put on your feet. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. You would have-

I got Bill Goldberg. You would have to kick those off. It could have been a Bill Goldberg on the surveillance camera. You would have to kick those shoes off because I think you would have rolled your ankle in those. You think so? Yeah, I think you probably would have had to go there.

Wide enough, you would have tightened them. Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, I would have tightened them up. Hold on, Biz. I'll be right there. Arizona is a great place though. Awesome. I like that they were the spot The town that stopped the whole thing. I'm appreciative of hockey. I'm happy. We just did good hockey talk. Yeah. Yeah So you guys are cheap. I didn't know that you need to stop talking about any of you. Hold on. Hold on. Okay

Let's make sure we understand what biz is when it comes to hockey fandom. He's a Toronto Maple Leafs guy Okay, so he wants to bury the bees at any turn But yes that has been a thing to Bruins and hockey in general has been cheap Let's not act like the best players are getting paid anything great All right, they're trying to build the game when it comes to money. Hey one last thing on this though a stick Alright, football's happening. Hell yeah. Football's happening in a massive, massive way. Business for NFL teams is only getting better.

Remember, just a few months ago they approved like venture capitalists, like VC funds and you know, groups of people who have their money together to be able to invest into NFL teams up to like 10% or something like that, which meant that these owners could just get a payday real quick. Philadelphia Eagles allegedly valued at $8.3 billion, sold 8% interest to two family investors. Now, is it family investors? Maybe. Is it a VC firm that has family members a part of it?

Possibly. Nonetheless, $664 million bucks pocketed. Selling 8%. Still the owner, still running everything. Nothing changes on his day to day. His money, I guess, goes down, and the overall, whenever they say net value or net worth, because he gave up 8% of it to somebody else,

but he gets $664 million buck. Look for a lot of teams to do this move, which is why they allowed the VC funds into up to 10% because like I everybody saying we're profiting so much Who's profited? We you profited we need to be able to get money quick. Boom sell something to the trillionaires Let's do that. Congrats the NFL the rich gets richer valuation eight point three billion for that's Eagles. Yeah, and remember you are Exactly what somebody says they'll pay you. Absolutely.

Every time. So 8% that's what we're probably going to run a family members. From ESPN podcast and Omaha productions.

and opening up the Bill Belichick Encyclopedia of football knowledge. Created by football legends for football fans. New episodes of Coach Drop weekly. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Football! It is wonderful. In the last hour, we learned about a hockey legend

who fought for not only himself, an entire town, and a place called Houston's. Now, I yearn for the day that I'll be able to go have a wonderful salad or maybe Espresso martini over there at Houston's but until then it is nice to know that the hero Biz Nasty is rolling around at any given moment Waiting for scumbags to expose themselves and then get their asses beat by one guy. Thanks for the time Biz. Thanks for the time Thanks to hockey and once again hockey is awesome But so is football we'll be chatting a lot about that for the next hour or so the toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt

Sweet shirt pal. Yeah, thanks I found this underneath a massive pile of clothes that needs to be full in my apartment I haven't worn it a while from the gas station. We are in pile of clothes season boil. It's been a couple months now Yeah, me too. Yeah, you can sit in there football's tough You know, you just kind of bomb Bob., boo, bah, bah, bah, bah. I've had a, I got a bag of West Virginia stuff sitting over there. It's been very clutch over the last few days.

I don't know if there's been any news broken over there, but if anything does come out, we will certainly keep people updated on who's the new head coach at West Virginia University. Everybody's talking about UNCs. Is it going to be Bill Belichick? Possibly. I think there was a report that he was meeting with the trustee?

Board of trustees. Boom, I think that was happening. So he handed over a 400 page thing, said this is how this is going to go. If I'm going to be the head coach, he's now meeting with the trustees. Seemingly all the way invested. Congrats to UNC, it appears, for getting Bill Belichick as your head coach, GM, and director of player personnel. Be nuts.

The amount of things you can do over there especially if he runs it the way that he chooses to run it he's gonna have to win early to be able to keep the buy-in from people I think but if he gets his guys in there the right people in there and he's able to build a culture quickly it's like UNC the education is phenomenal the merch is crazy I assume there's money down there and Michael Jordan he is potentially very much invested in your success that's a good person to have no matter who or what sport you're playing so congrats to Bill if that is the case and at West Virginia

we've heard it's down to a few finalists who will make the who make the decision Ren Baker that's right who'll be the head coach for the nine years going forward we shall see nine-year NFL vet host everything DB good D bad D D But Your dad was army right? Yes, that was an army man. Yes, sir army Navy this week and I see the helm in front He looks sweet. Yep. Go army be Navy Okay, so that's how you feel. I see a lot of people saying go Navy be army. I need our Navy right now Why oh isn't your neighbor? Especially right now. Oh, you're talking about this exact moment. Yeah in time. Oh, I didn't know you're talking about the football team

You're talking about just in general the water we're gonna need to figure out support them both gonna need this Sky's to Air Force. Well, allegedly they're going home to the water and then they're heading it You're right. We do need air fat and then there's chance we need Space Force baby monitor. Yeah, everything that's going on together right now Hey, we talked about these things yesterday because Aaron brought him up. Obviously he's living in New Jersey right now this is something that Aaron would certainly be interested in. I didn't really know enough about. Drones in New Jersey is a real thing. Hey that is a real thing. I fell I fell into a wormhole last night on. Wife fell asleep. Okay I'm scrolling. I'm seeing a lot of people respond to Aaron's are talking about it yesterday going hey you

should look up drones in NJ drones and NJ so I did Tells going on everywhere. There's a new update now. We know a little more big update We need to just we need to hope that that inside source is wrong right there because that's scary stuff if that is case and No matter what it is. It's scary like that's what we kind of thought about earlier. If it's our team doing these drones, why? Okay. If it's some other team, which now they are reporting, doing these drones, why? And if it's not from here doing these things, why?

There's really no good answer, I think, like the way I'm kind of looking at this, but all I do know, sports are awesome. Sports are awesome. Football's great, let's not look too deep into it. That was literally, I was three scrolls into this thing. Three scrolls into this reading things, and that guy looks pretty like he knows

what he's talking about actually. He looks like pretty official. He's sitting down at court, listen to what he says. So this is the real thing, okay, let me act accordingly. And then this new one, it's like you know what, let me go back to some NFL highlights. Let me just go over here let me do this entire thing which is what we'll do because

yes why it's all gonna blow over or fly over how far let's make sure it stays. 12 year NFL vet AQ Shipley is here. How you doing pal? Great glad to be here. You know the thing that we didn't get to do in the first hour because we got a chance to do some journalism and uncover maybe an Irish gypsy clan allegedly that has been Terrorizing the United States of America for families of generations And now they're potentially stopped because they want into your town Scottsdale and took over Houston's I mean, that's a wonderful thing But we didn't get a chance to hear what your three takeaways were coming out of week 14 of the NFL season every week

We've been able to do this and obviously you ranked the top five performing offensive lines every single week and I love that and honestly we'll do that later today but what are your three takeaways that we need to be talking about from week 14 and maybe hasn't had enough spotlight AQ Shipley? Burrow to chase! The dynamic duo! And look you got LSU to LSU Cincinnati to Cincinnati. You know I had Darius Butler say yesterday and I don't know if he said it's on air or off air. He goes this Jamar Chase might be the one.

He might be the one when it's all said and done. Well Joey Burrow knows that since college. What are we not talking about enough you think AQ? These two are incredible and Joe Burrow in any other given year would probably be the MVP of the league. His numbers are ridiculous to this point right now. He's thrown for 3706 yards, 33 touchdowns and six picks, 93 catches for 13, 19 yards and 15 touchdowns for Jamar Chase.

3706. That's a big number, bro. 3,706. I mean, that's a big, big number. Big, big number. What are some plays that we have here to show? Yeah. So this, this first one, we saw this play.

Everybody knows this play. But here, you get, he avoids Michael Parsons, steps up and just drops it on a dime because he loves outroutes to this guy. It's unbelievable how many outroutes. You saw it later in the game with the touchdown on the outroute to the front pylon. They are constantly in,

and their timing is impeccable with these two. And then a little bit later out route how's winter winter chicken dinner see ya shout out cover for the cincinnati bangles needed that they need absolutely needed that debuch why does he always get up because they're scared he's gonna go i mean this game way way way too much single coverage like you have to double team that guy he's a game wrecker in and out but the thing about chase He can impact you on all levels of the offense from the screen route to the intermediate pass game and obviously he can take the top Off of defense so he has all the tools and obviously on the same page with his college QB The more impressive thing though is the fact that they're not chunking it down the field to him all the time

It's the ones that you throw the quick screen the wide receiver screen or the 10 yard out that he turns it into 50 or 60 He runs all rats. Oh, yeah Yeah, and that's a weapon especially because a DB can't just guess or know or have a tell, you know Some wide receivers they know what routes they run. Hey, this guy runs three routes, right? Am I speaking out of pocket here? Boom Jamar with his explosion with his capability and his work ethic. He runs everything Joe finds him on everything That's right T Higgins also being on the field good news, right? Good news have another guy that they have to at least pay attention to helps tomorrow chase a lot to your point about the one-on-one

Yeah, always good news, but it starts it starts with one win, you know with Jamar So I'm sure T Higgins probably, you know will benefit from having him on the field a lot more But anytime you have more weapons on the field, it helps whoever that primary weapon is, but you build the passing game around a guy like Jamar Chase. D-Botch really likes Jamar Chase. Yeah, loves him. I mean, look, him and Jefferson, they're kind of in the tier they own. They were in school together.

Obviously, Jamar was 1A, Jefferson was 1B, and they kind of go back and forth now. But yeah, when you watch him, like you heard Tomlin kind of talk about him on, I think, the first episode of Hard Knocks like hey this guy he's gonna run the grass because and Burrows just gonna find it it could be a dig route can be a bang it could be whatever he can read the coverage get to a space nine puts it on him into a Q's point once he catches the ball it's almost like the beginning of another play now you got a rally and really tackled this guy cuz if you see him he's a he's a he's a big dude well-built dude they are

a dynamic duo aren't they that's a he's a he's a big dude. Well bill do they are a dynamic duo Aren't they that's a winner right there stops on a dime cuts back in Corners sitting on his ass Jamar chase just covered for the Cincinnati Bengals. We appreciate what's the number two thing? We should be talking about how about Purdy's Back guess who's back back again Purdy's back Tell a friend should we we should Purdy's back. Tell a friend. Should we?

We should. Purdy's back. 20 of 25 for 325 yards. Guys unbelievable. I have loved this guy since he came into the league, but I was told by some other talking heads that without Iyuk, without CMC, without Trent Williams, without both running backs, without all these guys, he couldn't do it 20 to 25 325 yards and making plays watch this

Look at this fakes the look at that pump fake. Oh makes the wheel drops it to kiddle in the hole I'm really getting pump fake right there. What look at that? We shades are rich. Is that awesome? Yeah, it's awesome He was trying to hit the wheel and then finds kiddle in the hole Which by the way kiddo had 150 something yards unbelievable game by him next one's unbelievable We get a pressure off the left side, right free hitter fade away throw it to a spot You know, he's gonna be there all the way down to the one yard line should touch down Yeah, you know, you should have been just roll a little faster. Yeah, and then this one this one's incredible, too

You get the play action pass when you get the play action here you go Let's roll out roll out Let's throw back across to Jawan Jennings who has become their number one receiver because you might as well say we haven't had Debo Same he's only getting two touches in 20 yards He's pissed off about everybody pissed off but without all their top dogs that he has Become the guy about that we have said he can't win without he's seemingly Finding ways to win over these good players. Not just gimmicks where you're saying he's a stud and they should get every penny He deserves he's unbelievable

I do appreciate the fact that all the scouts and personnel that missed on him Brock birdie Their opinions still carry so much weight that people would just be like no this guy last pick in the draft Like everybody's waiting for him to almost come back down to earth as opposed to being like hey this guy was Improperly read coming out of college. This guy is an NFL quarterback because they can't figure out right here now Is the Shanahan offense good for him? Sure you put him a KOC though. It can be just fine Oh, I assume I assume he'd be a okay over there I think if you put him in Arthur Smith's you put him in Laflore I think you put him in a lot of offenses like system system system It's like he's quarterback that I think could fit in a lot of these systems that are happening in the NFL Ben Johnson

Sure, mm-hmm Brock Purdy and but not to Jared Goff is not fantastic. I'm just saying Brock Purdy's a guy Nobody gives him enough credit for his actual talent and ability They're always looking for reasons for him to be a bum. This Niners team has been disappointing, I think, on all accounts. Now, injuries have obviously fallen into that, but even like watching them, it's not the same team. They're still in it. Obviously, it's very low chance, but they are still in it. And what they did to the Bears, I don't think that's just the Bears stink. Maybe. Maybe the Bears are. Look what the Bears did to the Detroit Lions literally the week before.

Yeah. They were right in that game and they held Detroit to what, 17 points? I think the Niners finally showed up. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the Niners finally showed up for the first time all season.

And let me tell them, you look great. It was fun to watch. It was. We missed it this year. Greenlaw's back. They saw him breaking down the huddle yesterday. Fun to watch. If he gets in there

It's like that Niners team even though they still have a chance I hope they get it and it's a tiny chance because they're fun if they're gonna continue to play like this But even so the way the Cardinals are playing right now Obviously the Seahawks have been on a little bit of run here But their schedule the end is very tough if the Niners win on Thursday night like they are right back in this thing and it's gonna be Fun to watch the people have to choke on their words. No doubt.

Because boy, Brock Pardee's been getting murdered. This Niners team's over. Shanahan and Lynch, these guys stink. Let's get them out of here. It's like, damn, have we forgot about this Niners team? They are a wagon, wagon, wagon, wagon. And then all of a sudden Murphy's Law happens to them. Worst thing imaginable, and they lose.

And it's like, well, how many Super Bowls you got? Same thing that's happening with Buffalo Be. And it's like, well, how many Super Bowls you got? Same thing that's happening with Buffalo Beals. It's like, well, how many Super Bowls you got? I don't care what you do. In the end, only one team's gonna win. I think the Niners, going into the season, before I knew Christian McCaffrey was injured, I think we all had him as a team that could go and do it.

Now they're counted out completely. That's a nice chip on a shoulder for a team that's had a lot of success over the recent history. And the last thing that you think we should be talking about coming out of week 14, MCDC's all grit. What does that mean AQ? It means the nuts that he had to make the decision that he did against the Green Bay Packers. This game was unbelievable to watch first of all, but listen he's gonna kick this. They're in field goal range, there's 40 something seconds left. He does not want to give any time to

Jordan Love based on how well he's played all year, right? So he says, Jared Goff, what do you want to do? Jared says, I want to go for it. And then he goes back on the mic, he goes, Jared wants to go for it. And you know, we're going for it. That was a great sideline shot. Great sideline. You heard Richard Sherman talk about it, but then we get this play. And who do you go behind when you need a yard? Penne Sewell. Look at, one more time if we can get this back to watch penny silver 50s throws him clears the hole That's all you need game set match now We can run it down to three seconds kick the game winner get out of here boys and we are running the north though

Entire offensive line took this as a massive compliment for them to go for this 100% and they're doing this without Taylor Decker. They did it without Taylor Decker. There's a star left tackle They're just like we trust in every we trust in big skip Here's the story that you were referring to Richard Sherman It was I saw it on the NFL social media account originally from the Richard Sherman podcast He's having a conversation with all of us and it was like hey What was the conversation like on the sideline before that fourth and one? Jared basically comes over and Dan's on the headset telling him, hey,

we're kicking it. And Jared, dejected, is like, man, I want to go. And Dan Campbell just looks at him and said, you want to do it? And he changes his mind and goes for it. They are going. And then Goff falls down, but Montgomery is able to pick up the first down. So Goff falls down as is he making the handoff? Celebrating yeah, I mean everybody celebrating Jared Goff falling knowing that he's the reason why we're going for there was no way That ball wasn't gonna get handed off there. I love that MC DC knows his team I like they listen to his team and I like that he even though he was facing a lot of Criticism for that decision, even though they win that game he says like you know I didn't

want to give the ball back instead of saying like all my boys wanted to go because then he'll be judged for being emotional and somebody's got to be the adult in the room yada yada yada I love the way MC DC coaches. I love it too and I love the fact that he just trusts the boys right like it's like hey whatever they say I love this and you live and die by what he's done his entire time Coaching that team and they go on they go for it on fourth down. They go for it all the time on fourth down So why stop now? Well, I didn't like the one on their own 29 or 30 and that didn't work out I think we all agree that that we can throw that one out hindsight

That one was dumb that one got the backers back into the game Yeah There's been a few of those there's been a couple a fake punt that they didn't need the run or whatever that puts the other team back in. It's like, okay, we're doing too much, which leads to some people saying whenever push comes to shove, he's going to make one of those decisions and they're going to lose from it. But I don't think they feel that way. And Jerry Goff knew they were going to pick it up. You don't go over to the coach and say, let us do this. If you don't think you're going to get it. Congrats to the Lions being completely different team. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen,

is a man who I think would have loved to play for Motor City Dan Campbell instead he was on the other sideline Los Isque, didn't he? Ladies and gentlemen, brother of Tony Hawk, AJ Hawk. How you doing Hawker? Doing great. There's a lot of UFO situations going out there, not just New Jersey, they're all over the country. What do you mean? What's going on?

Condescending and saying that this is not real. But yes, it is wild right now. It is very wild right now the shit that's going on Yeah, I don't I don't get it. I mean we'll get some answers eventually right a cue a cue is tapped in he's got to know Maybe I mean maybe a cue does have the answers I hope somebody other than him does as well so we can really do this We were wondering we just need baseball everybody needs baseball bat mm-hmm you know so whenever these drones are flying around even if it's SUV size I've seen some scorned ex-girlfriends take baseball bats to cars and you know it's normally like a good hundred shots and then some spray paint down the side

of that we can get that thing oh yeah Juan Soto Congratulations, you just got paid all that money. We need you with a bet Aaron judge big dong hitter We need him with a bet. We need boys with the bokeh Little Costco we need him on a bet Bryce Harper boom on his because he's coming from that other side Yeah, I don't even know if it will one soda. I guess you like these well So it could be a barrage of bats coming at these things I think it's how we win and let's remember we got to hit the you know I mean how do we get up there how do we get to them ladder I was just on a ladder I was just on a ladder over here to get up on the oh yeah okay get those

big ladders everybody's kind of walks up and then we're doing this well we need any red need red panda Red panda on her on her unicycle certainly Yeah, but I I do fear with the videos that i'm seeing in the description They're saying there's like 30 of these things coming out We might need aaron judge and juan soto and brice harper and little cosco to have two bats and we need this one here Out of the sky. We need this one here out of the sky. I think that's what we need I think that's the only way we're gonna beat these drones. Yeah, because they are everywhere

Sorry, we're okay sports is good That's first thing he said on the program Yeah, that's not good news that means that's all AJ's been thinking about for the last 20 minutes waiting to get on I need to know what he saw because I don't know if we saw what he saw Yeah, can you send to group please because I have not heard anything it's actually, it's actually spent old spank out in California, North Carolina. He's saying they're talking about all these things being in Jersey, East coast. He said, I'm filming this every single night. To front war.

That's both sides. Yeah. And then what's Trudeau doing up there? We don't know. Oh man. We'll get biz up there. We'll get biz to walk the Northern border. Scary times. How about him breaking that down? That looked like there was 20 people following him out of that bar and I appreciate the fact that he just walks up into a massive

group and goes, hey, if this keeps happening, all of you, right outside if you want it. And then they swing on him and then bang, he's in the middle of a, what do you call it? Donnybrook. A Donnybrook, that was awesome. That was fantastic. We might all be in Donnybrooks with these things that are flying in the sky soon. Seriously. I don't like how negative you are. To be completely honest, usually I think it's funny.

I don't think it's funny anymore. Yeah. Oh no. The things that are being said not. Yeah, I actually, I'm actually genuinely worried about it. But the best part. But sports. Yeah, but think about how- It's gotta be us. It's gotta be our stuff. Well, we Say and yet so Zito is a good drone flyer though. Yes. So we got a couple drones around here We need to get like an SUV size one. Maybe a size of this building

Okay, are we sure they're not helicopters because last time we did this it was a helicopter boys. Hey, that's right We need to hold on to that now the people are describing SUV sized Drones is that helicopter, you know, and maybe technically Description maybe and they're saying it's coming out of water. I know it's not a helicopter We know that one video we did show was which is good to be clear You listen to that video which we were not able to do on the show Yeah, you hear the helicopter you do but the drones make sounds to I assume not these ones though I guess these ones don't make sound yeah, they're drones

They have the little blades you can hear him if you get close enough But what if these ones don't cuz they're saying you see them they disappear to what the hey, it's alright We got sports. We got sports Join us now. We got sports. Ladies and gentlemen. This guy is in the bull ring of honor down there in Houston. How are they doing? Are they alright? I don't know.

Big bye week. Hope not. Needed it. Needed it. This guy is a first ballot Hall of Famer whenever the time comes up, I think, depending upon when he plays his last snap, which could be this year. We have no idea. He's a Hard Knocks superstar, two different seasons though.

He's a father, he's a stud. Ladies and gentlemen, the man behind the hashtag Ask JJ, trending topic, JJ Waller. Yeah JJ. How you doing JJ? Hi guys, I'm doing really well. I'm happy to be here. I love AJ's theories and I'm very much looking forward to hearing more

Well, we're gonna try not talk about him because to be honest talk about him too much get a little bummed out Yeah, and I don't want to be bummed out. Okay, or you get excited. It could be a cool fight No, you know, we could have a great battle. Yeah, you're right. It could be no we need biz to give motivational speech Hey Connor a Connor just keep your soft ass out of the conversation. Hoo! You're not reading what I'm reading, brother, but I like your optimism.

That's not what we, hey, hold on. We're gonna be A-OK. We gotta remember that. We're gonna be A-OK, no matter what it is. These things pull 1,000 Gs. Yeah, but you know what we pull? Sleds. Yeah, exactly, yeah, sleds.

So how many of them would it take to pull you? Two million maybe. Oh, jeez. Called you a fat. Yeah, I'm done working out. He called you a fat. There's no point. Don't give up, brother.

Don't you give up on. It's too late, I'm done. No, don't do it, man. No, I'm enjoying it. Look what you've done, JJ. I'm having fun. Thanks, JJ. Eating what I want.

Happy, JJ. The duck called you fat as well multiple times Yeah, I did not like that both on the program, which I did not catch he pointed at you and did this number Oh, yeah, and then at the game he pointed at you and did this number yet again. I'm like, what is the deal? I don't think that's the case at all. I think you're doing great. No, it's all right. Well, Jade's called you a fat ass. The interesting thing is you are not fat. Yeah, you called him one. It's like the I think it's like the haircut is the look. I don't know what he did. No, it's his clothes. If you wear something that fits him and it's tight fitting,

you look at him, you look really skinny right now. And then he hates that you complimented him. Yeah, so there's a chance it's a lose-lose no matter what happens here. He's been putting in a lot of work. But this all started with you calling him a fat ass in Cary, North Carolina. That's right.

Right? That's right, yeah. I mean, you yelled at me from the donut line. So that one set itself up. So exactly. That's where it all started there. Now the duck is like, yeah, Jade, you're right. That is a fat ass over there.

So kind of your fault. If you would like to apologize because we were in the holiday season, we would appreciate it. I apologize for nothing. I take nothing back. Good. It looks like the donuts were delicious.

And we got rocked in the tournament anyway, so we're all even. And then you almost fought a ref. I mean, there's a lot of things that happened down there in Cary. Who knows if any of us will ever be back to that city. It was a great time. It was a great time. It was a great time, great place. University of North Carolina women, national champions. They just won it in Cary on Monday night.

Congratulations, UNC. They're gonna hire Bill? Yeah. They're gonna hire Bill, we shall see. Let's talk about your life a little bit here. Some of it was documented on Hard Knocks, obviously some of it was documented on social media. You went back and saw Teej,

you were back in Pittsburgh for the weekend and saw the massive game against the Cleveland Browns, which the Steelers won. And I'll tell you what, watching you and Koa and your family operate is beautiful and the pregame photo that took place that I saw the footage of on Hard Knocks is like such a perfect depiction of knowing that all four of those people are all professional athletes and understand the situation. So look at this they're all kind of you

guys all the Watts are kind of hovering around each other hugs hugs hugs good to see you then teach us What's up, Ko? Give a kiss go Steelers he says and then teachers like I don't have a lot of time to take a photo Okay, I'll take a photo everybody quickly. Look how quickly everybody. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Here we go smile pose Picture Koa even knows hey, Koa We've got about four seconds right now to take this photo The efficiency was awesome to watch because it was like we don't have a lot of time with them. Then the shot inside the suite of you and Koa

watching the game and a terrible towel twirling. I mean not only this angle with your Saris candy in front you but then the angle that you put out I believe would showcase that Koa was getting after it and really twirling the hell out of that as you were enjoying a Steeler game and I saw the animated Grinch immediately because I have a 19 month old daughter and boy that iPad movie could be a Tag team partner for a parent that you could never even imagine Jade what's your takeaway from going to the game? Were you impressed with the way Koa was twirling that towel? And how was it being back on Hard Knocks? You feel like a superstar? Keoh was twirling that towel and how was it being back on Hard Knocks? You feel like the superstar? It was awesome. I don't get to see Teige

from a fan perspective as much so to be able to watch him in person spend a weekend with him and have Koah there was incredible. I do have a bone to pick. I definitely have a bone to pick because I put that video out of Koah twirling a terrible towel learning how, and obviously we got the Grinch set up there, and 99% positive, great comments, but of course, you get the two or three idiots who are the parenting kings of the world who say, oh look, another iPad baby, oh look, we can't parent, we have to put a screen in front of them.

I got a message for you. Okay, if you're King Kong, King of the World, best parents on the planet, good for you. You don't need any entertainment whatsoever for your child. Good for you. Congratulations. You're better than all of us. You sit up on your high horse, you look down on the rest of us parents, and you look at us as peasants. Great. Well, here's what the situation was. I got to the stadium two and a half hours before the game started. We went on the field. We're playing with these. We're watching the game. We're doing all this running around on the field with co-op showing him football players and teach them how to

catch throw the ball, et cetera, et cetera. Then we go up to the suite and the game doesn't kick off for another half hour. I want to watch my brother play. So we've been playing for two and a half hours on the field kicking around. I want to watch TJ play the game I put on the Grinch Koa for the first half hour doesn't want to watch the Grinch watches the game Yeah, then he locks into the Grinch for a little while. I'm like cool because I'm watching T We are at the game for three and a half hours after the game We gotta wait an hour for him to get showered up cleaned up and go home So we're at the stadium for six and a half hours total. So if you are the King Kong best parent on the planet and you can entertain your child for six

and a half seven hours while watching the game and watching your brother play, you're a better person than I am. Yes, they are. If not, just be a normal ass parent, put the iPad in front of him, play a damn movie. No, yeah, agreed. But those people are the best. They are so good. They are so good at what they do. And I assume every piece of food that they let their toddler or kid eat is super healthy. And I assume every breath that they take is super good. I assume every single decision that is made is so that this is going to be the best child of all time.

And that whole iPad parenting thing coming from people who maybe don't know this generation of life like I built my business off of this thing right here okay my baby girl's on arena whole business was built off of this thing so the fact that my daughter is 19 months old and knows how to work these things I think that's actually a good thing I don't think that's a bad thing that she's getting comfortable with technology. Now, can't just have the iPad in front of the baby for its entire, you know, they can't just have animated Grinch

and Bully-wee running every single decision in life in there. But that is a nice thing. And I think her getting comfortable, and I don't know how you feel about Koa, and I don't know how comfortable Koa is. I can only speak for Mackenzie. Her getting comfortable with technology, it like makes me excited.

I'm like, oh, I think maybe we got a computer engineer here. Do we got a, maybe a rocket scientist in this entire thing? So I think those people, I understand what they're trying to grandstand on, but I think you could counter their argument literally at any time. God forbid they saw me feed them two sorrys,

chocolate pretzels. I mean, who knows? Who knows the backlash you're feeding them? Chocolate pretzels. What's sorrys? Very sorrys. I literally don't know how to say it. I mean, who knows? Who knows the backlash you're feeding him? Chocolate pretzels? What's sorrys? Very sorrys. I literally don't know how to say it. I mean, I'm sorry.

You told me 16 times. I had no idea. You can be sorry, but you should never apologize for eating Saris candy because of how good Saris. Saris. Yeah, man, we really, really just crushed coal with the score bug right over the top of the space, dude They're holding it for a little bit there They're trying to hold it for a little bit there and then inevitably like are we gonna get out of here?

Yeah, yeah, you need to know how to place him a little bit better. Yeah, get the kid off the screen. I can't Okay, let's talk about this Pittsburgh Steelers team a little bit they're fans I assume you're one of them and I assume Teage feels the same way even though you don't have to disclose your private conversations with them. They feel like they can go win a Super Bowl, man, and it's not just because TJ's great. In years past it was like the record with TJ on the field, record with TJ off the field, record with good defense versus record with bad defense. The defense is just winning them games, winning them games, and obviously they're still gonna need that, but the offense seemingly is efficient,

special teams doing their thing. They feel like they can go yinzers. Do you feel that way about that Steelers team and why I? Mean they clearly look good this weekend and they prove they can do it in a few different ways Obviously George Pickens being out for this game and also it looks like possibly a little longer They prove that they can find a way to win without him and that's he's a stud. He's a great player He's a phenomenal receiver, but they're fine in different ways. We know their defense is good. We're clearly seeing Russ play at a level

that is capable of making it very deep into the playoffs and potentially Superbowl. So we'll see. They needed a big bounce back against this Cleveland Browns team after what happened a couple of weeks ago when the Browns took it to them in that snow game. So this was great. I think they certainly have all the pieces and they're going through a gauntlet these next few weeks with the three

games in 10 days against some very, very good football teams. So then against the Eagles is going to be an incredible game this weekend. Cam Hayward, I, Pat F Pat Fireman with great pun right there. Yeah. Have you got to see any of this hard knocks and how much of a leader this can't, Cam Hayward is like a coach on the field with Tomlin. At what point do you get to that with a coach? And how do you feel about, how do you teach feel about Cam and his presence on that particular

defense? Yeah, Cam is playing some of his best football. I think he's 36 years old. He's got eight sacks. He's got like 55 tackles. I think he's got like eight PBUs. He's just playing incredible football. And that's part of what comes with the knowledge

and the experience that he has is the ability to add all those things together, especially against the conference, the FC North. But one cool thing that Tomlin does is he has a meeting, especially against the conference, the AFC North. But one cool thing that Tomlin does is he has a meeting every week with the leaders of the offense and the leaders of the defense. And it's just a small little additional meeting where he emphasizes certain things. So some of those coaching things that you're seeing are just extensions of Mike Tomlin.

And it's a lot of fun to see. I saw Cam in the weight room with his son on Saturday. And it was just cool to see him in that element, seeing his son getting a little stretch and workout with him before the game. That's special stuff. That could be a third generation stealer there you saw working out.

Did early projections have the son's head to be gigantic like the Hayward family? I think his bulrush will be strong and the head will be made of iron. That's good for football. That's great for football there. Go ahead, AJ. Jade, speaking of bull rushing, I don't know if you saw the clip came out of Mark Gastineau kind of

confronting Brett Favre saying he took a fall, I guess, giving Michael Strahan his sack record. Is this something that you pass rushers do? Are you verbally assaulting people that you feel like gave up easy sacks to other people? And before you answer that question, because we have not chatted about this yet on the program,

we should give full context for the situation. Mark Gassano was at a collectibles or an autograph session that wasn't open to the public. It seemed to be behind the scenes and he was being recorded or filmed. I don't know if he's making a documentary. And I guess it's the first time that he has seen Brett Favre. Brett Favre notoriously got sacked by Strahan.

Strahan then set the single season record for sacks and beat Gastineau. Here's Gastineau confronting Brett Favre. Are you telling me? I thought we met a long time ago. At least I saw you. Right. How you doing?

When you fell down for him. I'm gonna get my sack back. I'm gonna get my sack back. I'm gonna get my sack back, dude. You probably would hurt me. Well, I don't care. You hurt me. You hurt me. You hear me? Yeah, I hear you. You really hurt me.

You hurt me, Brett. We gotta get back to this, Brett. I'm sorry. Okay, so I guess Gaston is making a 30 for 30, and obviously, person, this is incredibly uncomfortable. How do we get out of here? And I don't know what's going through Brett Farr's mind there in the entirety. Here's the play in which Strahan gets the record.

It's fourth quarter, about to win a game, and okay, the way the story is told is almost like Brett took the snap, went in front of Strahan, lays down and just let stray hand kind of tap him Mm-hmm that appeared to be a situation where stray hand was gonna sack Brett farve whether Brett farve who never went down Went down or not. I don't think they could have handled a turnover I think the game was over, but I think stray hand is gonna end up tackling Brett farve there regardless I don't know the rest of the game. I don't know how it was going

But Gastineau obviously Brett come on Come on What do you think? What do you think I think I think Brett even said like he typed up a big long apology this morning or last night And wrote it out and I believe he even said in there that was a running play that he pulled the ball on purpose there. He didn't confirm that it was 100% set up to be the sack record but he all but said, I knew what was going on here. And any defensive lineman who's been anywhere remotely close to the sack record or who's had those thoughts or conversations knows I mean that was

That that was set up like that. That's us. We all know that so some mark, I mean mark Mark being pissed at Brett and letting him know you're saying because Brett also said in there I understand what being a sacking could do in the collectibles market, autograph market, his post-playing career could be much, much more, you know, financially beneficial if he was the guy who was tied atop or at the top of being the sack king. Now TJ Watt would go and tie Strahan, so Teej would inevitably end up getting him, But I think Gastineau very furious there at Brett Favre. Do you think Brett Favre handled it properly? And how would you kind of go about mending fences

if you're either side there? Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's anything he can do now. I'm more shocked that that's the first time that they've met since that. I mean, it's been what, you know, 20 something years now since that happened. So I'm shocked that that's the first conversation that they've had about it.

But I don't think that people players have problems with people breaking the records at least I don't think you should because that's you broke somebody else's record and that's just the game goes on and you should be happy for the person breaking your record because you know how difficult you know how hard that can be from the other standpoint the business side some of the stuff Brett was saying, I can understand that. I mean, there's definitely things that coming along

with being the all-time SAC leader and the all-time SAC holder, and there's finances there. He talked about how back in the day, those guys didn't make the same truly life-changing money that we are making today. And some of those autograph shows, some of those signings, some of those things,

he could have made a lot more money over the years. But at the end of the day, I mean, it is what it is. Do I think he laid down? Yes. Do I think that is a tough way to get a record? Yes. But it's like it's more than it was intentional. Like it's like, I've got plenty of sacks in my career where the guy fell down. But when like when you kind of know that you're setting up a guy for that like it it is it is a little different Yeah, I can see how gas knows pissed I can see that entire thing I can see how Brett Favre and stray hand though have a moment there that they're never gonna forget and I think there's a chance Now I think gas, you know has What they say like dementia and Parkinson's and like

he's in bad shape and Brett Favre also has Parkinson's so yeah like what if they did just get into a fistfight there? That'd be nuts. Favre dummies him. Well they get into a fistfight. I think so too but like the Favre going you you could hurt me I think Favre did think like oh there's about to be a real because he goes for the handshake and there's nobody on either side yes I didn't even know hey I think we've met pissed okay when he said I'm getting my sack back I'm like obviously figurative but like pause I think Brett for a second was like he's gonna sack me right here I wonder if Brett thought

like oh we're fist fighting I think we're like great. He had to think he was joking at first. I think Brett had to It was a good play. It was a good play to go with the joke back like oh you're gonna hurt me And then it just gave him more fuel How about it when they leave to farve backing up like watching him? He's not backing up just turning around to walk away. Yeah, it's guys a wacko What that's a farce they can it's guys a wacko. We're at a frickin autograph show He's coming up trying to get into a fight with me Like that's the only thing I mean I get where JJ is going from because as a Packers fan too

Like that was the conversation like farve laid down for this guy Let him have the record but to come back and do the whole like it's not like in like in the moment, Farr was like, you know what, fuck Mark Gasano. I'm gonna lay down right here and give this to Strahan. So the whole, like, you know, the career, you know, like how, I mean, maybe. Yeah, but I don't think it was malicious towards Mark Gasano whatsoever. I think Brett and Strahan were very good friends

and he was like doing them sprend a solid. So I don't think it was, there was bad intent intent but I can absolutely see how you'd be like that'd be like a DB letting Calvin Johnson or somebody catch a touchdown uncontested to break a record you're like okay is that actually a record? That's like at the end of games or seasons when somebody needs like four more catches to get to a certain mile marker and wide receivers are lining up and running back and we got a swing pass all right swing pass swing pass it's like if it's for contractual reasons to hit escalators cool if it's to keep a like historic streak going i think there is always like a uh like did it actually happen if

we're kind of like making it those kind kind of lines, whenever it comes to being the greatest of all time, I assume, I assume Gassado had some real pent up anger there for a long time. It sounded like it. It's different if it's teammates. Like if you're forcing somebody, you know, four or five catches, but if it's an opponent,

like if it's a pitcher and they just throw a fat one right down the middle to break a home run record or it's a DB, like you said, give up a touchdown. That's okay, now you feel a little different because now you're not you know respecting the game and you had to Bust your ass to get to whatever this record was teammates coaches Hey, you need four more yards to get this, you know incentive or whatever. That's awesome But as an opponent, you're always kind of like so yeah, I definitely get it from from yeah Yeah, that's a perfect point DB

Because I have no problem with your own teammates running te stunts ET stunts like you your teammates telling you Hey, you pass rush you get in them all game long. I don't care if you play the run go get that record No problem with any of that. Like you said, it's just the opponent helping you out that makes it Tackle go hey Inside this Good for you, you're welcome treasonous traitor Casano's pissed far keep it get it back and kill can't bring it back. Brett, yeah, if he keeps trying to,

but they're saying it was supposed to be a run play, which I didn't know, and he pulled it himself to get out there to him. So like, he was supposed to hand that ball off. We're going to run the clock out here. We're up 10. Which technically, if there's no receiver out in a route in today's world, they don't give you a sack for that.

Like if there's no receivers running routes, you don't get a sack for a run play turned into a pass. Rules different then then of course Naturally, there was nobody running around or anything. That wasn't just minus rush yards. I don't know. I'm not a hermpson shor No one far. I don't know far might have been like, you know what? I might try to throw a 60-yard touchdown here That that is the type of guy he was him taking a snap. He might be telling the backside tight end like hey exactly Yeah, just go go. We'll throw another one. Yeah, we're gonna sneak one by these guys. Yeah. Yeah straight hands big day

I don't think so straight hands crash And then I'm gonna throw a deep shot. There's a chance he was thinking that exactly what if Brett said that in the moment? What are you talking about guys? I was trying to throw a fucking time When an MVP sure what do you think this is? Yeah, right? I mean I said I fell down cuz I was trying to be nice He definitely didn't say in the moment like I didn't lay down. He did not deny the fact that he did it. We would like to we understand that they're both dealing with things mentally as you get older and physically as you get older. I would like to go on the record

of stating I think Brett Favre wins the fight at this moment. If they were to file, I would just like to let Dude, I'm gonna be honest here. I gotta be honest here. I thought that you got told by somebody in your ear like, Hey, you can't do mental health stuff. Like you gotta go apologize. I was waiting for like an apology or like a mental health moment there. You think Zito or Nick in the back is like, hey, you're going to have to apologize. You're going to have to apologize. I don't know. I don't know. But I was ready for like mental health, not something to joke about. No, it is not.

By the way, mental health is not something to joke about. It is very, very serious. But with their illnesses that they have, both attacking the brain and their bodies, because they're older We have to take that for what it is if they were to physically fight each other I've seen Brett for I was gonna say his forearm. Yeah, he's pretty jacked in there I don't know when I filmed when was that filmed? I don't know if that's super reasonable That's pretty jacked like yeah, we understand why you're mad as we talked through it

I think we're all kind of like oh all right, we can see why you would certainly be upset But I don't that was in 2023. I don't think you you want to tango with with Brett Favre Well, you saw as you see his arm Brett is 55 years old currently and Gastineau is 68 Yeah, so he's got a 13 year head start and also I don't know if Gastineau is hitting the weights as much as Brett Favre has That's right. Brett Favre has. That's right. Brett Favre is, he might be in peak physical condition whenever we saw him at that golf tournament. Yeah.

You're talking about Cavs, his forearm. His forearm is so big. He hit a three wood, like 340 or something. Yeah. I mean, it was just like unbelievable watching. You look like Popeye. He did. He had a gray beard.

He looked like actual Popeye. And just Gastineau needs to know that next time Right, I don't know if Brett Forbes throwing any punches these days I think he's passing that but if he thought there for a second, yeah I mean, I think as an hour could eat about 20 of them For drops you think Brett far far of punch? I mean he puts that copper fit Copper-fit elbow sleeve on with the Wranglers Game over we'd like to see those two working out though. Sorry that happened to you. Yes, you know also

We just learned some more information mark gas know went on to become a professional boxer after his football hold the phone 15 wins two losses and one no contest. So he's 60 what now? 8? That was in 91? 1-9 by knockout. So what's that, 33 years ago?

So that was in his 30s? He was boxing? Oh, he takes one. Yeah, but he's got the slide too. Yeah. He's got that move. He knows where the button is. Yeah, if he's doing one of these in breakfast,

like what do you want? Oh, he's got the. knows where the button is Yeah, if he's if he's doing one of these in breakfast like what you in all he's far far May no spring chicken either that man can eat a punch Yeah, you're right. He's done that. Yeah in the past has he taken any boxing? I assume probably he's tough Son of a bitch karate at least yeah, taekwondo. Maybe Brett Favre's taking karate at least one What's so funny? Why is everybody laughing? You don't think Brett Favre's taking karate? Just saying karate.

How long has he been in karate class? The dojo. Nagui. Him, boom, through the wood. Yep. He would be able to do that, no problem. Yeah. Remember, and I've said this before,

back in the day, if you had a friend that knew karate and you guys were out and about, you were good. Now, that is nothing. Now it doesn't matter anymore. Karate is nothing. J Karate is nothing. One of those little ears shows up it's like karate we ain't got it. Now there is some. One of those ears. They call it cauliflower ears. Yeah one of those. You know it. We got some more info. Allegedly some of Gassano's fights were fixed. All right. You can't beat them. Join them.

Yeah. Fixing sacks, fixing fights, Gassano's story. I, uh, all right. I'm back on Brett's side. I'm back cause Brett, you know, Brett's fixing, you know, to go ahead and get this guy out of his face. Here's Gastineau, a little different then than he is now. He's on the left side, I do believe. Nice little uppercut, holding a hand. Six rounds, heavyweight fight here. Who's he fighting? Hey Reno, Nevada. Get your hands up, Mark.

Lee Bergen has signed up to fight Mark Gastineau, who's second. Gastineau's eight and O at this point. He goes from sacking quarterbacks to knocking out bland looking whites. He can come to your town and do it for you. Gassano! Little jab, chin check. Packed house. He's the first Jay Paul. Yeah, and look he's, he's leaning away. Lee Bergen? He's gotta be like 20 pounds heavier, right? Lee Bergen here both heavyweights Lee Bergen decided to come up from middleweight to fight in this heavyweight matchup against Gastineau 160 verse 245

5 8 4 6 4 This is one of the first rounds of Mike Tyson's punch out game Gastineau going for the hay maker. Lee Bergen hugs him up. Guy in the button down behind it says how are these two match up against each other. Man with the beard who's a judge says this is certainly an unfair fight when it comes to weight advantage, height advantage, looks advantage and skill seemingly. Gastineau on a different, oh he wanted to throw the big right didn't he?

Lee Bergen's chin was waiting on him. Is this the first round of knockout or do we have a fight? He hit him with a shoulder. Okay, if this is nowhere near ending, we're done. Just go the distance. What are we doing here? Gasano, we're sorry that happened to you, dude. Sorry that happened to you.

Brett wasn't thinking of you at all, whatever it all happened. No. But Brett is thinking about you now. He's in there and the, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, gasano?

On a different, whoa, he wanted to throw the big right there. Lee Bergen's chin was waiting on him. Is this the first round of knockout or do we have a fight? He hit him with a shoulder. Okay, if this to you at all, whatever it all happened. No. But Brett is thinking about you now. He's in there in the... Yeah. How would you explain that clip to somebody that doesn't know football when he says, I want my sack back?

I don't know. Because he would... Everyone doesn't know what football is. He would be second, right? He would be second. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go. Scroll back. Scroll back. Scroll back. Scroll back. Scroll back. All right,'d be set. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go. Scroll back, scroll back, scroll back.

Scroll back, scroll back, scroll back, scroll back. All right, here we go. 38 seconds left in round one. Lee Bergen seems to be tired. He's a little bit wobbly. He's on his heels, more so than his toes, trying to fight his way to the bell. Ooh, Gaston-O on the button.

Right hand, left hand, humps him out of the ring. This one's over. TKO for Gastineau. That boy Mark. That's baby Mark. Put that guy in the Hall of Fame. Put that guy in the Hall of Fame. Got 20 sacks in a season twice.

I saw that in Brett Farr's entire thing. He needs to go in the Hall of Fame, but if he was the sack king, he would have been in the Hall of Fame already. He's not in the Hall of Fame? No, no, no. Oh boy. Not in the Hall of Fame, doesn't do. Okay. Yeah, I feel I feel bad. Okay mark. I get you. We don't love it gas

No, but we won't let you know we're on your side. But also I don't think Brett did this one purpose No, people said he did other stuff Memes about that when this came out figure that out. Let's hashtag AshJage. Ty has a question for you. Jage, we kind of talked about this a little bit earlier. Just curious, if you're a player and all the Dan Campbell stuff's going on, I assume you love that. But does that change at all being a defensive guy as opposed like when the offense is just continually going for it? Now, they've been successful quite a bit, but a lot of people are saying, hey,

it's going to come back and bite them in the ass at some point when it really matters. Quite a bit, but a lot of people are saying hey, it's gonna come back and bite them in the ass at some point when it really matters Yeah, I think you love it until it bites you in the ass I think it's one of those things that you are it is nothing fires You have more than your coach believing in the team and when the team executes and accomplishes it in their Tough physical like just they're being the embodiment of everything that he says so you love that They're being the embodiment of everything that he says, so you love that. And the more that it works, the more confident you get in it,

and the more you love it. But then it's just a matter of if it beats you at one point in the biggest moment. That is where all of a sudden, it's like that Step Brothers clip where it's like, I taste ketchup. You know what, now the suits are seeming a I taste ketchup. You know what, now, now the suits are seem a little, little fucked up, you know, like, yeah, now that's something's a little, a little off

here. So I do think it's great. And I do think it was awesome. I worked out I did not know until I was watching the show here that Jared Goff wanted to play because I love now thinking about what was going through his head as he dropped to a knee, like I asked for this, I better get this ball there. But it worked, so it goes, but it's you gotta live by the sword, die by the sword. When that sword flips the other way,

that's a tough conversation to have, especially if it's in the playoff. Certainly a tough conversation to have and they'll have it potentially all off season or maybe in the Super Bowl. It'll be a fourth and two. And you know, Patrick Mahomes will be on the other side and there'll be about a minute 40 left

Oh, yeah, the Chiefs will have one timeout. It'll be a tie ball game Do they choose to kick the field goal there and go and take the lead or do they say we can't get Patrick Mahomes The ball back in the Super Bowl and they go for it and Ben Johnson draws up something ridiculous and spectacular And maybe Ragnar catches it for a first down Is that how it goes or does it it go, they try that, they throw a ball, it hits Ragnau in the face. Ragnau off his face. Somebody on chief's defense catches it,

sprints down, understands the situation, slides at the two, kneel it out, all of a sudden, Butker comes out, hits his second game-winning Super Bowl kick and the Detroit Lions do Detroit Lions shit and embarrass themselves on the biggest stage either those are feasible. Both possible yes but I like the first one much more and also if it came out that Dan Campbell kicked the field goal we lose the game and Jared Goff wanted

to go for it we would be scorched earth all week and as a fan I would be so worried about what the hell is going on with MC DC So I love it. Let's continue to do it until the Super Bowl and win that thing. I like Jared Goff doing You want to be too dramatic right didn't one cause too much of a scene and as that timeout was called he ran to the sideline Got a ball and threw it that was like what he did immediately threw a ball So I was like is he trying to bluff that they're gonna go for this and then we find out like he wanted Hey, we are going for this watch this coach. This is how this is gonna go I love it with them. Let's speaking of them this weekend good time man. Yeah, JJ in

Detroit this weekend. I believe the Bills are coming to town. I believe you'll be there Do you think that game is gonna go similar to that Packers game? We're coming down the last possession MCDC's got to go for it on fourth down or you think anything changes when the Lions are playing a team like Buffalo? I'm hoping we get a game like we just got with the Bills with the high scoring back and forth points going crazy. That would be a lot of fun. It would be a blast to watch.

We obviously have the whole CBS crew, the NFL Today crew going there. Oh, I like on site. On site in Detroit. That's great. Sunday. That's great. Foxy. I need, I need some things.

Give me what, what does the crowd want to hear? What gets riled up? What's the chance? Jared golf, Jared golf, Jared golf. That's it. Right? That's it. 100%.

No matter what the sporting event is, when the Tigers were in the playoffs, JJ, there was a tweet that went viral and it said we got to stop doing the Jared golf at Tigers games, Pistons games, Michigan games, Michigan State games. And everyone absolutely roasted this person. They said, no, you don't get it. The Jared golf chance are an embodiment of what Detroit is. So that's the only chant you need to know. Yeah, because he was cast aside, thrown to Detroit. This guy stinks, overpaid. Now there's a rebirth, just like the city of Detroit. Bingo. So it's not just a name. It's not just the quarterback. It's the movement that's happening there in that city. And you can feel it, and it radiates through town. Jared Goff. Jared Goff.

I think you should also bring up all the success that all the other teams are having, right? Just stick to football for now. Oh, okay. Stick to football. Are you sure? Eric I think you should also bring up all the success and all the other teams are having right? Just stick to football for now Take the football. Are you sure? No hockey. Don't worry about it yet. The boys are focused on the Lions the Pistons They're trying, you know stick the foot. Okay new cabinet member. What's that? Bob Richie? Oh, yeah Kid Rock, yes, you could bring up me You'll get you'll figure it out. I think you'll be able to- I'm just gonna rap Eminem lyrics the whole show.

That's not a bad idea. It's gonna be a lot of Mom's spaghetti, RIP. I think it's recipes of, yeah, but Mom's spaghetti still exists. There is a restaurant you can stop by there and say, I had some spaghetti. We'll see you tomorrow, goodbye. Nader, really good, really good, really good.

Jared Goff is the champ. Jared Goff is the champ. Yeah, I'm gonna get that going. I'm gonna get that going. We'll get the people going. Get them riled up. And the thing about the Jared Goff chant is you got to talk about Jared Goff a lot. So there's a lot of opportunities for you to, you know, just be like the quarterback that they get from Los Angeles Rams. Everybody says this guy stinks. He was actually third string for the Los Angeles Rams at the end of his run. His name is Jared Goff. Jared Goff.

They'll just go. They'll just go and then you get right back into it. But since getting matched up with MCDC and out here in homes and the environment and the vibes and the attitudes of the Detroit Lions with Ben Johnson, Jared Goff. Jared Goff. They'll start doing it.

Every time you say his name, if you just think just think okay if I just hit a little rhythm here these people will certainly echo the sentiment and You know obviously there's a time where too much is happening and you've done it you've gone too far But then there's that happy medium and we know you'll figure it out change We don't know where the line is unless you push up against it every now and again. Yeah, that LSU one I really tried to I really tried my best to get I passed the line That's wild great One of the best little kids 75 year olds mm-hmm

It is the LSU football. This is what it is down here. We have a good time They don't call Death Valley for nothing. You think we're just saying go team. Okay, I don't think that's the case All right, change aside from that. Yeah, I'll give you I gotta give you credit to the West Virginia Black polo got the guns looking nice got the guns looking nice. It fits it's accordingly. Thank you Thank you been working on them kind of start doing cardio though. I'm getting winded too quick So I'm gonna winded too quick. So I'm gonna add that into my resume here at some point, into my regime. I'm gonna try my best to get after it. Because we got guys in this office that run two miles, five miles every single day.

Connor's on that stair master. How many floors? None now. At least 50. Don't give up hope. No, no, no, don't just back't, don't just back down, man. Have a little bit of a spine. Stand up and say, I'll show you.

I'm just sick of doing it. Back down. Well, yeah. I mean, nobody likes doing it. You should stand your ground. Good song. Okay. Absolutely.

This has been fun. Hey, Connor. There ain't no easy way out. This has been fun. There ain't no easy way out. Hey, Connor. You won't match, you know? And you know what you'll do? And you'll stand your ground. Right.

Right, you got it, man. You got it. Can't give up hope. You're Can't give up hope because we learned a little piece of information about potential war about the pop-off no doubt Be like your sweatshirt Gold teeth out front sure Be like your sweatshirt Absolutely, you know what? I'm gonna change aside from the Bill's Lions game What game are you looking forward to this weekend? How about the Colts Broncos? You worried about the Houston Texans maybe taking a little bit of a slide in the Indianapolis Colts continuing to get hot? They got to beat

the Broncos because the Broncos are currently holding the super wild card spot. Is there any other games that you're looking at this weekend as ones that are must watch? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or Pittsburgh obviously the Battle of Pennsylvania huge. Anything else that we need to look at? Because last week Slate kind of cropped, kind of cropped. This week, what are you looking forward to? Yeah, no, not worried about the Colts at all. So all good there. We obviously the Steelers Eagles, the Battle of Pennsylvania, two really good teams. Just can't wait to see how that

matchup goes. I don't know if it's because I grew up in Wisconsin or there's just been a bunch of these games lately in the last 10 years or whatever, but the Packers Seahawks, for some reason, even though they're not divisional opponents or anything, that matchup always intrigues me. I think it takes me back to the refs, like with the, we had the fake refs or whatever we had,

but there just seems to have been a bunch of matchups between the Packers and Seahawks and somehow it always seems to be a great game so I'm looking forward to that one. Okay me too. I like what this Seahawks- Am I wrong there or does that does this seem like a common matchup? Absolutely true. Yeah. Seahawks though I mean that McDonald's story over there covering up the wall first they

kicked Pete out kick kick him out. Pete said he went in there and fought for his job, right? You know what he said? Oh yeah, Pete competed. I competed for my job. Yeah, did a whole presentation about what he would do, how he would fix it. I think he's, we've learned more information about it as it's kind of gone on. Pete has kind of relayed the message of how it went over there. They basically kick him out, they bring in McDonald's, they paint over the Legion of Boom. It's a new era We got to do this entire thing and then you know, how's it gonna go?

We don't know stumble stumble stumble and then all of a sudden it's like wait this team's winning games This team's winning games McDonald. I think you got his culture in there I think they feel as if they're in it because that MC West was very very tight for a while They're starting to pull away. They got a big big one I think against the Rams last week of the season potentially tomorrow night primetime is oh sorry that is nevermind that's Rams Niners I believe what we're talking about what's that this is that's the game talking about the Seahawks Packers we just talked about yeah but Rams Niners is tomorrow I believe which will have huge implications on the NFC West and the Seahawks seemingly control

their destiny if they want to keep going they've been winning a lot of games we Tomorrow I believe which will have huge implications on the NFC West and the Seahawks seemingly control their Destiny if they want to keep going they've been winning a lot of games. We don't talk about them ever Nobody talk about this is kind of the like the proof how good they are though because they've Packers Sunday night Then they have the Vikings following week and then I don't know who they play the third week But then they end the season with the Rams So it's like their end end of the schedule here is quite the gauntlet shout out to the NFC West shout out He also not getting talked about nearly as much as you would think he might be in coaching Paracel or am I missing something here?

I thought about this yesterday, actually. Bill Belichick came on our program and pitched how he would run a college operation. Did you hear this? No. OK, so he basically laid out like why he is actually in a position. Yes, I did hear this. Sorry, I don't know. Yeah.

No, it's okay. He laid out why he is in a good spot to be in college right now. You know, like, hey, this is basically an NFL team you're running. You need a GM, you need a head coach, you need a director of player personnel, you need to be able to allocate funds, you need to be able to construct a roster. Then he compared, you know, what college has versus what the NFL has, you know The draft is like the recruiting the high schoolers and then veteran free agency is transfer portal and then his pitch Because AJ asked him about recruiting he was like

I'm basically just gonna tell him that this is a pipeline of the NFL if you want to make the NFL I'm gonna teach you how to be a professional I'm gonna teach you how to play the position you're supposed to play and basically it's gonna be a life camp As well about attention to detail in learning and moving so as I like laid on that thought i'm like man There's like nfl guys are probably gonna feel Good going into this Pete Carroll feels like a guy That has obviously dealt with business before in the nfl I think he had some say over general manager moves and roster construction everything like that. He's been in college before it's like with where college ball is heading I think those NFL experienced dudes who have been a part of the business and the head coaching part have quite an advantage if they just

want to get back into ball and I'm not saying Pete doesn't deserve an NFL job if he wants an NFL job or whatever it is but it's like I think Pete could also slide into a college job with the way it is and be very comfortable and successful At this time I thought about that yesterday. So good call. Nobody's talking about him But if you think about it man Like if you truly like if you truly don't have an opportunity in the NFL and you you want to go into college No doubt, but just think about how much extra stuff you have to do as a college coach virtually that NFL coach I mean you have to do as a college coach, virtual NFL coach. I mean you have

to have a meeting with the academic advisors talking about classes and who missed class, you have class checkers who's in class, are they failing, are they passing. When you you got to go recruit guys and go into their home and fly into all these cities and go visit these recruits and be in their houses. You got to write the handwritten letters. I get today's world you just paying cash and nobody gives a shit about a handwritten letter when you got two million dollars from it in the door. But like you still have to do so much more shit than you have to do in the NFL. So Coach Prime has obviously made the transition to be in Colorado's

head coach effortless seemingly after a couple years here of success and then also getting Juju out of Georgia to commit to Colorado you know perfect timing to take it over. But I don't think he's ever done an in-person in-house recruiting visit. I think he does a lot of it via FaceTime and Zoom. And whenever you talk about academic people, director of player personnel's job is to make sure that the academics all get handled. Director of player personnel reports to, you know, I guess coach or GM. But it's like he handed a page a 400 page

Thing over to UNC. Here's how this goes Academics Director of Player Personnel is gonna deal with that Director of Player Personnel doesn't have our team graduating will be replaced You know, it's like I think they're gonna set it up like he did a lot of those jobs in the NFL He was the GM. He was the head coach. He was those guys Yeah, so I like you're he's gonna delegate it out I get it I'm not an idiot here, but at the end of the day that is still something that's on your plate That is not on your plate in the NFL. I

Know what you're saying because I feel the same way. I was like, how's Bill gonna recruit any 17 year old? Why would he give a shit about any 17 year olds? But I think with the way he thinks it's going, it's gonna be just like that, like definitely recruiting, but also, hey, here's his comps money wise. Here's what we project you to be. You're either with us or you're not. And then he's gonna move on. I think it's gonna treat it just like D would the NFL.

Will it work? I don't know. Like prime obviously has the ability to get into any house, any family likes prime, any of them. You go into, you know, I think he's even talked about who he wants on his team, at what positions. You go into any neighborhood, Coach Prime is respected and appreciated and liked.

I wonder if the Belichick name will be the same. I do wonder if he'll be able to get into any conversation. Where six rings, or eight rings, whatever he's got. He opens some doors. That's what I'm saying I do wonder if all that shit that we hear about that is miserable in the college coaching world Like if he's able to bypass a lot of it because of who he is and how he's gonna set it up I don't know. I we don't know if it's gonna be successful or not Well, I've been thinking about this to like the recruiting piece

But like he's gonna either like you kind of just have to learn like guess what you have to recruit, you know Otherwise like this is gonna be a huge laughing stock. You can't just be like, oh, I'm not gonna fucking recruit Like you have to so like he's obviously got all that but you can't just like completely Discount because then North Carolina is not gonna be worth the shit. I am G Academy. We all assume that's exactly one-way trip Exactly. He was already at those games, the IMG games. He's a big fan of the coach. I assume he's gonna have relationships built there. I remember he goes to all those pro days anyways,

whenever he's NFL coach. So he probably has relationships with a lot of places. I'd assume with high school coaches, it'll be the same. I assume he'll be able to, Bill Belichick wants to come to your practice or come check out your school. I assume he'll be able to do it. But how much time in a day does he have? I don't know. Good luck Bill if you do it if you do it All right, James. We saw you retweet little fuego

We knew you were super excited about hashtag ask James today didn't put out the full call So we didn't get it as many answers. We apologize a little fuego. We do apologize to JJ What we do appreciate the fact that you retweeted this it was like yeah, we would like to do this We didn't catch it till late. We weren't able to amplify it. We didn't get enough responses We will going forward, but since little fuego wants it you got it. It's not an hashtag Ask jade's with some of these convo cue Questions now jade's you know the rules all you gotta do is tell me to stop in this pile and i'll ask you one of the questions we hope you're jade's ask i'm hashtag ask jade ing jade right now who has taught you something and what did they teach you it's a good question

who's somebody that taught you something? Of course. Bill Kohler, my defensive line coach, my rookie year in Houston, more or less through tough learning taught me not to be a dumbass. Thank you. He was very, very tough on me. I hated football for a good chunk of my rookie year because he was so hard on me and so tough on me and made my life a living hell. But he made me much better because of it and I'm a better football player and probably a person.

So I appreciate it, Bill. Thank you, Coach. Yeah, Coach. Way to go, Bill. He knew you had it in you. He just wanted to find it, you know, and that's what good coaches do. All right, one more. Tell you go, Bill. He knew you had it in you. He just wanted to find it. You know, and that's what good coaches do. All right, one more.

Tell me when to stop. If you had a pet other than the pets that you currently have, what type of pet would it be and what would you name it? Lion, for sure. Name it Atlas. Wow. You've thought about this. You've tried? No, I've looked into a badger once just to see what that and people have done it and it was a big mistake. Yeah, yeah. What about lions? People have done that too. I watched Tiger King. I've also watched Tiger King and I agree. It's just I want to walk them around and it didn't, I'm not, I don't want

to look like Joe Exotic. I don't want to. I watched the chimp one too. Did you watch the chimp one? Yeah, you don't want to fuck with the chimps. Listen, the chimps are a real deal. Yeah, you don't fuck with the champs listen the champs real deal Yeah, and they got they got ideas too on how the house should be run, you know So yeah that that was that was pretty wild Have you seen the documentary where they tell the people that are visiting the one? I think it's orangutan or maybe chimpanzee Sanctuary they say you gotta go shake the hand of the leader before you go in there so like gotta shake the hand and like go in head down and shake and all of a sudden the chimpanzee orangutan just like grabs hand and is like okay yeah you're good I can come in it's like kiss the right yeah you come in this place that would be a nightmare just cuz they know you you know we walk

by the orangutan exhibit down here at the Indianapolis Zoo beautiful place Indianapolis Zoo beautiful place Indianapolis Zoo they spend a lot of money to make sure these animals are living a good life Sure, they put in orangutan exhibit a lot of glass walls And I think whenever it rains or it's bad weather they kind of have to come inside There's multiple spots they can come inside, but I think you're trapped in one of these sides boy It's really close quarters with the people walking through and those orangutans are looking at you right in your eyeballs And they're letting you know that they are not happy. Help us.

Then they just dump all over themselves. And then you actually, you think to yourself, wow, if I was in there, it would rip my head off right now. They have super strength. So yeah, let's not fuck with the chimpanzees. Let's not have pet orangutans. Not smart. Or pet orangutans. Not smart. Or pet chimpanzees.

What's that one monkey though that is a pet that people have from a spandora pet detective? Spider monkey. Little one. Macaw. No, no. I don't think you have a Macaw. Absolutely not the Macaw.

But cocks are gonna try to take over your house and then obviously we know what they're gonna do to your baby maker. Chips. Capuchinips capuchin Capuchin I could see a job Might already have one. I Don't want to do I you know, I changed my kids diapers. I'm not changing some little guys diapers

Yeah, true. I feel like a Q knows somebody who has one not for sure I knew somebody that had a capuchin. I knew somebody for my teammate. Yep. Oh, yeah me too What up? Well, I could have one The the capuchin was a real problem It's not every day but from my understanding is there comes a day where said capuchin is the alpha the house now and

Inevitably there's gonna have to be some sort of clash. Battle. To see who. Do we have a photo? Of these, these are Ace of Tora Pet Detective, you know the little. Yeah like this big right?

Yeah they're cute right? They're really cute. What are we thinking? Yeah like what are we thinking? Like truthfully AJ locked in a cage, you in a capuchin you winning? Oh This little guy. Yeah, I'll kick his head right off. I don't know how big they story about somebody kicking one of these down a hallway, yeah, because

There was a stared at from my understanding of the story once again, I was not there Cabochon was family pet very much beloved by whole family and then Uh, capuchin was family pet, very much beloved by whole family. And then one day capuchin woke up and said, it's my fucking house now. And, uh, I guess daughter found out first, you know, there was a little bit of a interaction by capuchin and then dad end of hallway Looking at other end of hallway, and I guess there was just a stare down with capuchin and there was a Like one of those down hall and then there was a full clash and I believe the kick was the move and then Then I think tail throw into cage Yeah, yeah, they'll throw definitely tail throw tail throw into cage I guess and then I don't know if that thing ever left a cage they'll throw into cage. Yeah, tail throw, definitely tail throw.

Tail throw into cage, I guess. And then I don't know if that thing ever left the cage. No, tail throw into outer space. No, well, Cabuchy was family pet there before that moment. And I think that is the fear with these monkeys is they will, any moment is no longer our, it's not our house anymore, it is my house. I would love to have a little pet orangutan.

Imagine one of those things just walking around. Be cool. That'd be so cool. Too smart. Be a Rocky, Rocky's doing well. Probably me. You said too smart. Too smart, too strong.

That's what I'm saying, I got a little AI walking around with me. Like knows that when I want my phone, knows when I want a little drink. Yeah. Gives me a tap, says something's over here. Just kind of walking around me. Like Ben and Peter.

Sure. Having an orangutan just walking around. But I know even if we have the best relationship of all time and we're on the same page, there's gonna come a day where that orangutan is gonna be walking next to me, grab both of my legs and snap them in half. And then it's over.

And then it probably pees on me and walks away. And it just has to do that. Yeah, I ain't your butler no more no more bananas That's all I'm doing. I'm just giving bananas all day like this, but one day not enough bananas And then both of my legs are broken. Yeah, and maybe rear naked choke. Yeah, they're gonna say let him go What's the problem? We thought you liked them. He's just say no man And I'm dead. Yeah, Let's get to a break. James, thanks for today.

That was good. Hashtag Ask James. Sorry we didn't get the whole internet in on it. That's on us. Lil' Fuego needs a lot of snow next time. Yeah. Lil' Fuego. I'm on Lil' Fire.

Still cold though. It's still cold. Very cold. Still cold. Do the trick. Yeah, maybe you and Coastie don't get it. If the Wi-Fi worked, I'd take you down right now and jump in. Still cold though.

Because as soon as you sat up there, you're like, you know what, give me the Army Navy one. I'm gonna show a little love. That game's this weekend, nobody's really talking about it.

I don't like that. I don't like that either. I don't like that one, especially these times. They need these boys more than ever. Not my decision, not my decision. Not my decision. Ladies and gentlemen, that was a voice from Hammer. We will hear from in a matter of moments, a 12 year NFL Vets Super Bowl champion. Now before we head over to the man who hates America apparently.

No. Sounds like a chief. What do you think? How do you feel about that AJ? He said not my decision. That's shocking. Shocking because he always played this character. I go. I love America, you know America first and now to learn different is actually it's kind of disappointing That is heartbreaking.

And it feels like there has been a little bit of a lack of conversation about it, the excitement because it doesn't kick off until next Friday and then all of a sudden ESPN puts together a commercial and it brings us right back to the fact that we are in the greatest time in the history of college ball.

That's a win-win. And that's how you crown a CFP. Tough to do both, tough to be entertaining and informative They they knock him both out of the park. They certainly did fun and charming and yeah, it was great. Yeah Speaking of college football, there's a lot of stuff going on in that world right now. Let's head over to hammer Noted American a P tone. Thank you. I appreciate that That was not my helmet to make any decisions with so that's where I stand on that issue Oh your excuses started at 12 count down to one

That's how we crown a C&B national champion Incredibly informative and catchy you nailed it right on the head Pat now Pete Thamel hasn't tweeted about it, but, so it's not official official, it's not Pete official, but Insider, Inside Carolina is reporting that UNC finalizing a deal to hire former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, which Brett McMurphy then, who is a legit insider in this game, did put out and kind of stamped it, so it does feel like it's potentially done that Bill Belichick could be the next head coach at UNC.

Congratulations to UNC and to Bill Belichick if that is the case. I do wonder what Pete would be waiting on. You know, because the way this is kind of all unraveled is there was a moment where Bill Belichick accepted to become the UNC head coach, but it was under certain terms. So a lot of the newsbreakers saw accepted to become UNC head coach, but it was under certain terms. So a lot of the news breakers saw accepted to become UNC head coach, but didn't follow up with that there's a 400 page thing about how this is going to go. If I am the head, I will be your head coach if it goes like this. He's probably had more meetings. He met with the trustees, I do believe it was being reported.

And now if Inside Carolina and other news breakers close to the situation are saying it's true, that must mean that they've come to an agreement on how this is gonna operate. And with everything he laid out on our show the other day, Bill Belichick's gonna win. Yep. Congrats to Bill, congrats to UNC. Oh yeah, Bill.

AJ, how do you feel about this Bill Belichick move back to UNC happening and everything that he said on our program the other day? How do you feel it actually ends up working out down there? I mean, I think, you know, Bill is he's used to winning. He's he definitely knows what it takes. But I didn't really take it that serious until Bill came on on Monday and kind of laid out and it sounded like, okay, this is what I'm sure what it sounds like.

He tells them when he is interviewed and you can realize you realize like, yeah, this guy is serious. Like he wants this job and has a whole plan on what he's gonna do and how he's Gonna handle every situation so I'm looking I mean hey, it's good for college football. I think it's great I think so I think it's good for football as a whole too Especially what he's planning on doing there and how he's planning on raising those bullets to men at UNC He said a pipeline of the NFL and also whenever football stops They're gonna act in a certain way and they're gonna learn and everything like that

I think it's understood you're going into a Belichick campus Belichick football whenever football stops, they're gonna act in a certain way and they're gonna learn and everything like that. I think it's understood you're going into a Belichick campus, Belichick football, so he's gonna have to get the right recruits in this entire thing. But to your point about not really taking it seriously, I guess we all should have known that he was gonna be wildly researched on something that he's going into. Like I think that's kind of Bill Belichick football.

It always has been. I mean, whenever we were doing stuff with him for the draft, the amount of film he watched, the amount of hours he spent in there everything he did He's he would like to know everything about anything. He's getting involved in that is Bill Belichick football That's why he lived at the office in New England. That's why the hours were what they were That's why the success was what it was But I think we all thought it was him trying to utilize it as leverage for an NFL team We thought this was like a kind of a scream

from the town crier saying, and by I don't mean him being the town crier, but just to the world saying, hey, I wanna coach again. And I'll go coach in college. I think the other people say he'd coach in high school. He's gonna coach again. And I thought it was all an angle

to get an NFL team to quicker say, hey, we're interested in bringing you in, don't do that. But then once he talks to us, it's like, oh, this guy has a full plan team to quicker say hey we're interested in bringing you in don't do that but then once he talks to us yeah it's like oh this guy has a full plan on how he's gonna run this team he's only 15 wins away I think from yeah the all-time wins record at the NFL I think we all thought this was not real even whenever he was explaining exactly how you do what he would do I'm like there's no way the 400 page term sheet would be matched sounds like they got something done I

did not expect this yeah no chance in hell I thought once again just like AJ There's no way the 400 page term sheet would be matched. Sounds like they got something done. I did not expect this. Yeah, no chance in hell. I thought once again, just like AJ until he came on Monday, but it is just, I mean, it's a different sport. Obviously college football is becoming much more like pro football, but the group of humans that you're dealing with, like you're dealing with 17

to 21 year olds as opposed to grown ass men who still have a lot to learn as professionals, but now you're dealing with. Like you're dealing with 17 to 21 year olds as opposed to grown ass men who still have a lot to learn as professionals but now you're dealing with people who are becoming men under your watch. So obviously he's been around college campuses, he knows these players, he has coached these players but that's just a completely different challenge. Just like with you know the great Nick Saban when he came up and dealt with professionals it was just a different challenge even though he had experience being coaching in that league, been a head coach, running a program, running recruiting. And you can say you're going to delegate it and do it, but he's going to have final say

over everything. So it will be a huge, huge challenge. I definitely go bet on Bill Belichick, but I thought no chance in any world that Bill Belichick will be coaching anywhere besides the national football. How do you think it works out for him? I think the one thing that we're forgetting, yeah, I understand the business side of things is much more like the NFL, but the timeline is still the same. The recruiting periods are still the same.

You still got a whole spring ball period. Then you got summer ball, right? Those little breaks that you're used to having, that six-week break before training camp, that break after the season before, obviously they have the combine and all that stuff, but that's just football stuff. You don't have to deal with any other people you don't have to call parents you don't talk to parents you don't have to do anything for recruit in the summer like the multiple weekends in a row you got to host recruits whether you position coaches everybody comes like right that happens all summer too at most places correct and it's all the camps you got he's got to

he's got to be present all the camps all summer for all the big-time recruits. The timeline is still college. Good luck, coach. Go get them, Bill. Good luck, coach. They're going to be paying them handsomely. Yeah. Well, I assume that was a big part of it too, is like from what we heard with the last coaching cycle when he was interviewing for jobs, like UNC is going to let him do whatever the fuck

he wants to do. Like I have this 400 page thing and it's going to be exactly like this nuts and bolts. I don't want anyone else getting, you know, interfering with it or trying to change stuff. And it kind of seemed like at this point in his life, that maybe wasn't the case anymore with the NFL job. You know, like maybe he wasn't going to be able to be the GM, be the head coach and kind of have his fingerprints on Everything cuz that's kind of what you know it started getting out

He's like hey He doesn't need to be the GM but obviously when you do that for as long as he did like He wants to run everything Mac Brown 73 years old Fired from North Carolina Probably in the retirement Congrats hell over hell over Probably in the retirement Congrats hell of a hell of a run Bill Belichick 72 hired first time being a

College head coach same place, North Carolina Con man since hurt your heart a little bit see Bill Belichick take another job, you know, you know Yeah, I mean it's a bummer cuz he's a North Carolina boy But you know if you would have won to another NFL team you would have had to go through seeing Tom in a different Uniform but instead you'll just see bill with a different visor a different hat or different sleeveless on and it'll be a college one No an NFL one that's feel pretty good. Yeah, that's definitely a benefit I don't even think about that So I am glad that I won't have to experience that bullshit

But it would have been nice to see him kind of become the all-time Leader and wins as a head coach because he is so close to it But it does feel like even though you know all the college stuff all the timelines and things like that Like if you are a high school player and granted I never went through this you guys probably Have much better knowledge than this But if your goal is to play in the NFL which I assume most guys who are going to play big-time D1 college football are and maybe you know compete for a national championship too But they might have a chance doing that playing in the ACC like wouldn't you want to go play for a guy that knows how to

Get to the NFL and be successful in the NFL versus some of the other schools because like Deon's whole thing is he has the blueprint Which of course he does he was you know all pros who are both champion everything but like Bill also understands how you know NFL The NFL world the NFL locker rooms work more than anybody. So wouldn't it be like a huge advantage for him? Like hey, yeah, but then there's like there's different ways to go about doing things Not everybody's a fit for everything everybody wants to go to the NFL But I'm not sure everybody is fit to be in the NFL and build Belichick system So finding the right guys not getting the wrong guys then what happens if he pitches these guys and nowadays and they don't play and

Then they want to leave I mean it's just like and just like in the NFL whenever people would leave New England They'd get picked they wouldn't make it through the waiver wire They're getting signed because bill Belichick thought this person was okay. They're gonna be okay So if anybody from North Carolina hits transfer portal everybody's gonna probably want him that's probably gonna become a thing It's just like there's a lot more to deal with. And I think Bill will figure it out in the amount, the Rolodex of humans that he has at his disposal over the years, decades and decades

of people he's worked with that can handle negotiations, that can handle director of player personnel stuff, that can handle scheme strategy, all this type of shit. He's got those people in spades or whatever, you know? But it's just like, day to day, he does not know what he doesn't know yet about college to day He does not know what he doesn't know yet. Yeah about college ball. He doesn't know what he doesn't know You know what families now like as a pro interactions a lot more players to a lot more players on the team Yeah more players more family 105

Handlers like agents Sheffty has tweeted a link to family story saying it is close North Carolina is working to trying to close the deal with Bill Belichick to make the six-time Super Bowl champion. Whoa he's won more than six. Six is a head coach. Two is DC for the Giants. Super Bowl champion the Tar Heels coach but sources told ESPN there are still issues that both sides need to work through. More from Pete Thamel and Chloe ESPN Hey, I thought drewdle did okay. He did he crushed it. I thought drewdle I didn't see a lot of good pipes to break pipes Yeah, good commanding presence to in there drewdle doing his thing once Syracuse who would have thought

That's Chris Lowe and Chris Lowe on it. Oh, we know that still some things were working through Bill Belichick said I told you that this is how this is gonna happen At the fort look page 296 Lomba what was it 291 for 200 page 294 look at it back on the bottom zoom in not that one that one Bang told you this is how this is gonna go if you don't like it, I'm not coming. So it's up to you guys, we're close. We can certainly make this the reason

that I'm not doing it. Or we can just kind of let that go. I'm excited to see who loved it from the beginning, who hated it from the beginning in North Carolina. Because it feels like there is, the way it's been talked about is, there's some people that are really in, then there's some people that aren't,

whose decision weighs more. That's like at West Virginia, I think Ren Baker is just making the decision but I assume there is a group of people around him that have to okay it and prove it it's like a North Carolina who is in the decision-making process North Carolina is working to try to close the deal with Bill Belichick to make the six okay sources added that the ball is in Belichick's court and that North Carolina officials are on board with him becoming a coach a resolution is expected in your future

Among the looming issues are potential role for his son and current Washington defense coordinator Stephen Belichick North Carolina's nil resources Belichick salary and resources for the staff and reporting structure That's a lot of stuff. Yeah, what's reporting structure who reports to who who's boss? Yeah, that's good though to you. That's bill is smart and he knows you got to get that you know you got to have that set up beforehand so there's no questions later. So that's an NFL mindset that is very much like hey I've been here done that who reports to who here? At the end of the day when push comes to shove who has two votes and who has one vote? I just need to know that. That's a massive thing. Resources for staff, that's coach's salary cap now, like

basically what you're gonna be able to have. Belichick salary, big, that's a big point. So they don't really have North Carolina's NIO resources, like how do you just change that overnight? I don't know how you do that. And then Stephen Belichick's future, it had been reported, we don't know if it's real or not, we don't know what's real and whatever is not real that Bill Belichick was willing to take a job at North Carolina as long as Steve was head coach and waiting pretty much yeah like wanted to do the hand allegedly now I don't know what's real and what isn't real we should have asked Bill that question although we would have not got

an answer or whatever he would have talked about structure and setup and the future of the organization and program and everything like that but that could potentially be that I mean who know you put That in a contract though. I know they said Mayo was kind of set up for that But let's say what if he's not successful then all of a sudden his son takes over Yes, then you gotta you gotta fire two contracts that you gotta fire the current head coach and also the next head coach Whenever you fire one coach, you gotta fire the whole family, which what's the buyout for both there? There's probably a lot of issue. If they're saying it's near

Let's assume that some of those things have already been settled and they're just waiting on a couple things But like who's reporting to who is a big? That's a big deal to decide and if they don't know that yet That means there's probably still some opinions on who should be reporting to who and And that one right there is a lot of prime ego from a lot of people trying to figure out that could be difficult. All you need is one person to be like, nah, that's not how it's going to go here. It's just in the NFL. This is college still.

This is my school. Well, Bill says it's my school. It's my school now. It's cool when I come in there. I'm fascinated. I'm there because this sets precedent now for a lot of places and how they're going to operate going forward. I would assume, and obviously it's different, but the NIL stuff is probably a very difficult conversation too because they're a blue blood basketball school.

They're not just going to be like, oh, we got Bill Belichick, now all the resources and everything is going to go into the football program because they compete for a national championship every single year. And I'm sure the athletic department and a lot of the boosters are like, hey, let's let's remember that the main thing here at North Carolina is still the main thing. Like, I bet that is a very like contentious point of interaction. Well, good luck to them down there. And also to West Virginia, who is allegedly going to have a coach

announced soon age allegedly that just name him. I mean, Pacman already named him. Let's do it. Rich Rod, let's do it. I got to my phone. A bunch of people saying Pacman said it happened. I mean Pac-Man already named him. Let's do it rich rod. Let's do it I got to my phone a bunch of people saying Pac-Man said so to happen. I'm like shit So I text back then who'd you talk to? Pac-Man's plugged in yeah, you know, you have no like and it's like what he was saying. Here we go And then he was also also going forward any DB that gets two picks in a game. I'll donate a hundred thousand I'm like, I love, I love what you're doing.

Go move. I love, I love this is what West Virginia's gonna be, yes, yes, let's do, let's do a lot of that. But I don't think, just like Pete had been waiting on a decision to be made where everybody else is reporting it's done, there's probably a lot of people, I don't know about the West Virginia situation because I don't know how many people are involved.

But in North Carolina, it's probably a lot of people are like it's getting done It's getting done and then they are legitimate sources and then they're saying it's getting done Maybe that's the case of West Virginia, but maybe maybe it goes the other I have I have no idea I would like to a piece of information though, you know, I'd like it to I think a lot of people get Nancy like hey It's gonna happen has to happen soon. But I believe there was a projected Wednesday of next week was a projected timeframe. This week, like last week, I think there was like a projected middle of week,

I think is what was said because of bowl and also transfer port and there's a lot of stuff happening I think in the next day or two for the West Virginia football team. So I think this has been the eyeball date. So hopefully we'll. Is the portal open right now? Yeah.

Oh, it's open. Somebody also just got named Conference USA Coach of the Year. Who? Coach is Jacksonville State. Rich Rodriguez? Yes, sir. He's a Conference Coach of the Year?

Yes, sir. Go, coach. Shout out, Rob. I can still coach. Yeah. Modern athlete Go, coach. Shout out, Rob. I can still coach. Yeah. Modern athlete, you can coach. Modern era, you can coach. You can go to a place two years, win, be coach of the year.

That guy's got some business to clean up, doesn't he? I think so. He's got a story to finish. Yeah. Doesn't he? He does. Could you imagine that story? It be it could I think it could be That'd be so fucking cool if that happened

It'll clear my conscience a lot if they went back in one that'd be great. Hey, how can I help? Let's go ahead and get this thing off of my shoulders How can I get this off my conscience so I don't think about it every single day for the rest of my life Aren't you and he's like probably thinking the same exact thing Hey, how can we get this because of what happened? I don't know That's quite a motivator for people especially with a competitive drive to their home town home state I mean that'd be beautiful doesn't need it obviously He's doesn't have the job. I don't think he's been named

What would be a hell of a story in sports if he goes back here? Fucking Richard. Whenever it's official, Pac's gotta put another video out too. I love it. Pac, if he's just gonna keep offering up stuff. Guy has a 150 yard touchdown? Yeah, I'll throw in 10 grand. Just like bounties for everything. I mean if that's what it's gonna be, I'm okay with it. I don't know how it fits into the NIL shit, but do it. It's, West Virginia is waiting to be great again, you know? And it's only a matter of time.

Speaking of great, let's look at some offensive lines that performed great in week 14 of the NFL season. Every week I look forward to this because this is basically an indicator of what teams are good and what teams are not. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go in the trenches with AQ Shipley for the top five performing offensive lines from week 14.

Here we go, boys, here we go. AQ, I'm excited for these because like I just said, we've been able to learn who's good and who's not strictly from this particular segment. Let's go in the trenches, who do you got a five? The Detroit Lions. Wow, top five. Listen, Lions. Wow. Oh yeah. Top five.

Listen, I was gonna, they were kind of right there and then they had to be in it because of what they did on the last play. But let's take a look at this. We got just your standard wham play. Just a standard wham play. Right there, almost gets up the field, gets enough of them. Gets enough of them and look at all the butts.

You see all the butts? We find the butts, we get outside and get a quick, let's watch that one more time. Because I think I might've saw something there. Really? Yet you hadn't seen before. This might be the old triple trap double scoop. Triple, triple trap, double scoop.

Triple trap, double scoop, triple trap, double scoop. Two scoops please. Two scoops, triple trap. There it is. Three guys going that way, two guys going that way. Yeah, triple double. There's the triple here. The old baldy triple trap, double scoop right here.

So we got bang, bang, bang. There's the triple trap. There it is. Bang, bang, bang. We're all trapping this way. And then you get rag now. Skip. And big skip up on the backers

There's the double scoop triple trap double scoop. Okay, triple trap double scoop just standard wham though Just a standard wham. That's all it is old-school triple trap double scoop wham for the Lions Yeah, we're whamming home wins aren't they? Congratulations to the triple trap double scoop Detroit football Lions playing old school physical football. Oh yeah. Yeah, MC DC loves that. Triple trap two scoops of what man? Espresso ice cream man.

Deuce, deuce. Look at the double scoop here by big boy Skip, rag now, look at the scoops. It's like two big coffee scoops man. Deuce, deuce. How much coffee you think a year that guy goes through? Very unhealthy amount, I would assume. What?

Is there any such thing? Couple thousand pounds. I don't think just drinking like 15 shots of espresso every single day and then probably double that on game days. I don't know if that long term is good for your heart. I mean, have we learned anything? I don't know.

I don't know. I think it might be better for your heart. He's got a huge heart. He's fine. Yeah, he does That's not a good thing either. What's that having a big heart like that's not good really? Yeah, that's how not literally figure Vigorously sure. Yeah. What do you what? Yeah, like if you have like a massive heart, but you don't want an enlarged heart exactly That's how like you're gonna die from like heart failure No enlarged is like when your heart is normally a You don't want an enlarged heart. Exactly, that's how like you're gonna die from like heart failure. No, enlarged is like when your heart is normally a size and then it's enlarged.

You're saying just in general, if you have a larger heart size, not good. Yeah, I don't think that's like, I don't think that's a good thing. Bad news for the Grinch. Well, his was so small to begin with. At the beginning, yeah, he was super healthy by the end there.

He did look a little bit fatter. Well, he had the roast beast. Wah, wah, wah. The animated one's great for the kid. The Jim Carrey Grinch is the best Grinch. Glad you. I mean, we are in this season right now. That is the best one.

Yeah. I don't think anybody touches Scott Calvin. You know, as Santa Claus. Sure. I think that is a phenomenal Christmas movie. We're in that time right now Oh, yeah, how close one red one? Boom red one. Thank you. It's a Christmas classic good Santa to elf have to say it. I love elf for Christmases Fred Claus Four Christmases.

You guys you guys doing that knowing that I've never seen it and then just being so confidently and saying yeah It's Christmas movie on ABC family. They play it every single year. What on Christmas time on 25 days Christmas Yeah, what's the Hallmark channel? Don't they run 24-7 Christmas movies? I think there's a channel that runs 24-7 Christmas movies. Freeform during December. There it is, Freeform. There it is, not Hallmark, Freeform. I don't think I've seen Harry Potter on there. I don't think I've ever seen. Well, they don't play the best movies on Freeform. So you're just playing any movie during the holiday season? They celebrate Christmas and then they're all the Harry Potter So I'm just telling you that they are considered Christmas movies. What's that other one that isn't considered a Christmas movie, but everybody said I heard that's a D. But said

So it's not Christmas movie Christmas party Christmas in July Top Gun 2 Yeah Christmas party famous thing There's a lot of good Christmas movies.

That's coming to Prime already. That's what I'm talking about. No! I get to experience it at home and I'll get a chance to experience it at the IMAX like I did a few weeks ago. It's a good one. I mean that's the thing you know. The Rock signing up, it's going to be a smash and Moana too was great he was dominating the box office sure and that's what the rock you seen it well too oh so good have you know so good it's unbelievable you should hear the new songs you know I thought you're going Thanksgiving Day speaking of weight bells bailed on it how did your did you lose your pickleball tournament yeah. Yeah. Yeah what rounds lost in the finals your rating drop

No, I'm sorry Did you watch the old day game? I did When I watched it and I was in front of TVs all night. I looked good though that night You see that little sport good. I don't want to some big event Sitting there watching the game. He wants it all he was invited to come watch the Penn State Nittany Lions right behind a crane, right next to the field. He says, no I can't do that, sorry. I FaceTime him as we're walking in. And I go, oh, oh got a sport coat on dress room I'm like, are you even hold the phone? I had my Penn State hoodie and hat ready cuz I thought Q's was coming

Yeah, and then I see all the pictures and you bought and the boys are all wearing green and yellow. Oh you weren't there I was all ready. Were you wearing green yellow? I had my Oregon duck shoes I ties an Iowa fan. He's got green yellow Oregon out. Hey, we love the ducks around say it gum peas all Oregon con man man I thought was but I was I was corrected it wasn't an organ hat thank you yeah but he's not he's not on Penn State side I mean Nick's Nick's Instagram post says fuck Penn State or something like that I'm like Jesus that was a little strong he was real strong yeah I went to pit in West Virginia fuck that's like that and I like that. And the Staters were loud though.

They were. The Staters were loud. They were always loud. They made it very good atmosphere. They did, yeah. So we thank the Penn State people for making that awesome. That was a great environment because of the Penn State people. Now, very far trip for Oregon.

25% I'd say, but 75% Penn Staters, it was loud out there. And I'm a Penn State fan, I like the way you guys do your thing. I like the team. The boys though turned on James Franklin unknown as burger that was it That was the whole big part out of down get it then they don't be good teams ever. Yeah I get that too. What's your name boy? I didn't love that either It's also why I went to the event instead of coming here because I thought it was about to be 35 son But

They proved me wrong. Yes they did. They played their ass off. And going into the playoffs, you guys feeling good? Good path, everything. There's no such thing as a good path. Six is the spot boys, alright? It's the spot.

No! What are you talking about? You got a tough road, everybody's got a tough road. SMU, real deal. Rhett Lashley, head coach of the SMU Mustangs, will actually be joining us on Friday, I believe. Nice. To chit chat about everybody saying this easy road, huh? This SMU thing?

That's a good spot. And then Boise, what do you mean? That's a good spot. What do you mean it's a good spot? Shit, that's a good spot. Thank you. Thanks, bro. I appreciate it.

I think so, too. You got a good shot. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys haven't seen Ashton Genti and his Boise State team play ball? Tough. They took Oregon to the 12th round earlier in the year now That might have been before Dylan Gabriel had it all figured out that Oregon team was who they are But at any given game any team that is couldn't agree more could win this week couldn't agree more and that's college ball

Feel a lot better against those two Then say that eight nine five with that five five team I mean joy even the 710 I don't the look ahead line has Penn State is an 11.5 point favorite against Boise if they win what's what are they favored against SMU they are favored by eight and a half eight and a half and then 11 and a half yeah Carson back I feel good about that right I mean you have an eight and a half points Brendan NFL game we're on to the next week, boys. Yeah, but that is, that's the problem. Especially if that is the problem for you guys. You're gonna look ahead too much.

No, no, one to no mentality. You hear James every week, James every week. I appreciate the way James talked about that press conference in the afterwards where the Oregon band is playing behind him. He goes, I respect them celebrating. It's kind of a JV setup. Kind of a JV setup. Kind of a JV.

When was the last time Penn State was at the Big Ten Championship? 17, 16, it was Wisconsin. So he had forgotten what Lucas Hole Stadium was kind of set up like. But I appreciate him going, he's a JV setup. And some of his players laughing. They have a chance, anybody has a chance.

That Oregon team has been the most consistent. And obviously I thought the same thing that you thought about that particular game. I thought they were going to do it. Penn State held their own. Arizona State with Scadaboo, I mean he can run through anybody. Yep. And if they get hot and they keep the other team off the field, I mean there's a chance. Clemson with Dabo, you know, anytime, anything.

Yeah. What's that? I know to win it all, you know, you got to beat anybody, be ready to play anybody. But how pissed would you be if you're Oregon Oregon has not really been allowed to come out and say that hey the way this has been set up is certainly interesting because the way they want the number one seed there is they want them to get a definite low seed mm-hmm the 512 they wanted the four to have to take on the highest ranked non-champion but if 12

wins that then four takes on 12 in 12 gets you know the highest the the highest non-champ and then also the lowest ranked champ yeah five was the spot that we thought everybody was gonna want to be in like we thought that was gonna be because you get the lowest ranked in the whole tournament and then you get the lowest ranked champion that got a buy but instead it does feel like six kind of shaped out to be a pretty good spot as well because you get a home field Advantage but Oregon. Yeah, they wanted them to definitely get the lower seed, right? Cuz all those other games six can win seven can win five can win

So technically off the rankings eight or nine guarantees a lower seed for the number one overall team So in theory, I understand why they did it But I don't think that's how a lot of people are looking at it You got to recede them after after first round my opinion going forward I think that should be in the conversation so the number one gets an actual advantage They get the lowest of the the remaining and maybe everybody's just read like you're receding whoever's left What is it eight left like you just receding one day? Maybe but I don't think that's at all five day, but you're saying they should for next year for sure

There's some changes they need to make I think going forward yeah no doubt let's see how it plays out though all those games could be blowouts all those games could be close all the underdogs could win that sounds like a perfect tourney to me all right let's get back to top five for former offensive Lions if you do recall number five offensive line from week 14 was the Lions then we saw the triple trap double scoop mm-hmm and that was quite a wham for the Lions. Let's go to number four ranked offensive line coming out of the week 14.

You got the LA Rams. Wow, they're coming on. First of all, I can't say enough about these backs because they were chipping the shit out of Buffalo's D-Ends all game, putting them on the ground. There was a couple of times where D-Ends were grabbing the ribs, running off the sideline. But this is a cool way to get the duo, single back duo.

Tight end comes across, they start them over there to get the front that they want, they send them over, kick out and then downhill, you get the double team, double team, and we get them downhill. And they just chipped away. They didn't have any huge, huge runs, but it was seven, seven, six, five, seven, 11, nine, six. Like it was just, there was no 25 or 30 yard Saquon runs, but it was chipping away, you know,

with Kyron Williams and Blake Corm, right? Both of them, so they're literally one, two, 50 yards, 60 yards, 110 yards total, it was awesome. Good work on that. How about the Rams coming back to life? Yeah, I saw you kind of shut down there mid, almost a glitch there, but we're happy you bounce back Yeah, Penn State football. That's it

The Rams kind of floated their way in it last year. Their big problem was their offense line, right? Well, it still kind of was at the beginning of the year But because it was at the beginning of the year, they had a bunch injuries early young guys play right when young guys play They get experience what happens when you get experience you get better, right? So these guys all have gotten better and better and better and better and better they made the big trade or big free agent signing from the kid from Jonah Jackson from the Lions he's on the bench right now because they like what the young guys are doing okay if your offensive line plays good you

can win any game let's go to the number three performing offensive line from week 14 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, no they looked awesome. They are running the shit out of the bowl. They got three backs. They were without Irving and you still get two other backs in the backfield faking one way pulling the center, pulling Tristan Wirfs around, get Barton around on the first guy. Ark, nobody wants anything of Tristan Wirfs. He just kind of takes the easy way out and you get Tucker down the sidelines for a 50

yard gain. I mean these guys are doing very very good things They continue to be a big reason why the record should be better based on statistics seriously because at the end of the day They're in the top five and third down conversion. They're in the top five and rushing yards They're in the top five and you know rushing yard average, so they got all the makings to be great They're just losing some games on defense. They're losing some games with some different things Isn't that guy take on Tristan Wirfs? What's going on AJ? He needs to be able to cut his legs out that's it I mean look at this that's a death wish right there you want to take on Tristan Wirfs

when he has a 12 yard running start? I mean he's just eyeballing you two he knows who you are he knows who you know who he is. I mean yeah I guess, I don't know She tried to take my Like what you did kind of he didn't do That was his best try right there, all right, let's go to the number two ranked offensive line 14 Seattle Seahawks And this could be a case of just the Cardinals going back to Swiss Cheese defense. You said this yesterday on the show, remember we're FaceTime with him and he was like these guys in the end zone are a crop. Yeah. I was literally watching the film like god

they went back to week one, week two, week three. But here before we even get this, so they're gonna run counter to as we're looking at to the right to their left So they're right guard right tack. We're gonna pull but here's the deal You see number two standing out here, right? Somebody's got to fill that gap So the guy on the inside shoulder the tackle to our right if we can circle him seven in front of seven see the guys on Defensive tackle right there. He's gonna loop out when he loops out He becomes the edge when he becomes the edge guess what's coming the pulling guard Let's just watch that one Soon as he loops out it's gonna loop out tackle does a nice job

Believe in him because he knows the pullers coming and as soon as he loops out. I gotta take the edge Oh shit now I turn oh shit Wow, and then we're downhill 51 yards and a touchdown for Charbonne without Kenneth Walker jeez and a touchdown for Charbonne without Kenneth Walker. Geez Louise. I mean he did set the edge. He did set the edge. He was out there. He made him cut back though.

He made him cut inside. Here's another thing that they do on defense, what they've been doing a lot. See go back just a little bit further. They start with Buddha Baker as a too high safety and then they try and insert him as the weak side linebacker. And a lot of times Buddha can make the play because he's that good. Buddha's a dog. But if he gets too far on the weak side and they're running something the other way And then you got nothing slowing it down forcing it back a lot of daylight now that guy who normally is your fix-it-all player

But Buddha Baker he's out of the picture. God. See how to see Oxford a real deal. We can't say it enough All right, who's the number one performing offensive line coming out of week 14? Who do you think? The Philadelphia Eagles. E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles. By Eagles, fly on the road to victory. By Eagles, fly. All right, check it out.

By? Why are you saying by? We want to say hi to the down with the Eagles These guys are awesome. They're awesome. They're offensive lines the best in the league hands down right now Once Decker gets back hopefully lines can get back on track But if you can put eyes right can do the little green eye thing you just did with Jalen hurts on this far left defensive end Right there. Yep. He is looking at him at him right so now we're gonna pull Lane Johnson and Bechtin over here he's just staring at him see where his

eyes are and if 92 closes at all we're just gonna hand it to Saquon we're just gonna hand it to him there it is he just took himself out of the play now we're around the corner for an easy 25 30 yard game. Geez and that's all because he got to account for Jalen right? That's all it all because you gotta count for Jalen, right? That's all it is. Everybody's talking about Jalen's armor this week. Jalen's legs are certainly something that need to be respected.

I love that they're running towards you're pulling these things out of here. Such distraction all the goddamn time, seemingly. This has become their bread and butter. They run this all the time. Now I showed it a couple weeks ago where they do it this way. Now if 92 goes up the field, guess what happens?

Jalen keeps it, gets behind the two big boys pool pulling. You get Bechtin on the kick out here and you get Lane Johnson filling up on the linebacker and then Jalen Hurts is down this hash now for 30, 40 yards untouched on the safety. But instead, no edge? No chance. Bingo. First time. Saquon Barkley. Congratulations to Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Line. What a phenomenal year they have had.

And I think this is five in a row. Wow. Five in a row, number one. So you in the NFC West, you got two teams out there. Who do you think ends up making it? Who has the better Offensive Line, Seahawks or Rams? So the Seahawks are not typically a very good offensive line. They just played their ass off this week.

Okay, so maybe it's the turn of the tide. Yeah, I think the Rams are better up front. I think the Rams are better and I think the quarterback plays better. Matthew Stafford is on fire. Yeah, he's phenomenal to watch play football. Yeah, spins it. But I've been saying all year that I'm gonna watch this

and this is gonna be the teams that are gonna be good. So he says Rams over Seahawks right now. No doubt. But he doesn't know what the Seahawks offensive line is about to look like going forward. Yeah, look out tomorrow. Look out I mean their fucking center retired in the seventh game of the year this year. That was a tough game That's and they bounced back Number two offensive line entire damn league so their left tackle Charles Cross is a dog. I will say that

All right. Well, we appreciate the hell out of you for going through that ladies and gentlemen time for everything DB Good D bad D D Bunch make us smarter shall we let's go Let's go to B flows defense leading the National Football League and interceptions right now got two against Kirk Cousins last week This is Josh Mattel is just getting back to his drop playing good We always talk about underneath his own coverage, but this is a great example of that you see him drop back Keep his eyes on the quarterback. That's what you want to do as a zone defender. Dan O talked about Kirk not really moving off his spot

once he gets to the top of that drop. He does a great job just keeping his eyes back there. It's almost like he has eyes on the back of his head because you look at the receiver behind him trying to run and get open to a window. He just continues to move, stay in that window, and then makes a play. I mean, Kirk pumps in and throws it right to him,

but eyes, he feels it, boom. Great job breaking on intentions, as A.J. Hawke says all the time. You see it right here, better look at it. Hey, Z-Bot, you did a great play. Usually, you naturally roll back in with that, and you go inside towards the hash. Yep.

And he does, it's like he has, yeah, he has a great feel for it. You see him as he breaks it out. Normally, you're still just gonna float inside towards the hash because you think the balls going there Yeah, so great job being underneath you only have two receivers really over there to that side of the field Just great job all around from beginning to end keeping his eyes back. You'll see him drop fill it boom and for Kirk I mean you got a decent pocket. Yeah, maybe tuck run it throw it away You can't just throw it right in the middle of a bit of a rock. What the hell's he doing? He's in the middle of a bit of a rock. Alright, let's go to the next one. Shall we?

Man another one on the second one Two! Lightnings D! Hey, Lightnings D is why they lead National Football League. Sometimes pressure is your best coverage They bring a ton of pressure here drop some of the big boys out Harrison Smith becomes a clean hitter off the right side, but if you look up top Ray Ray McLeod 34 he's wide-ass open as a flat defender but once again when that pressure is getting on you makes a terrible throw here once

Over the top of the cow pits if you lead Kyle Pitts to the inside I think it's a catch with that big body big frame. He overthrows it I talk about tips and overthrows all the time. This is Byron Murphy's Six interception this year only behind Kirby Joseph and Xavier McKinney for the lead He's been on everything to be a couple times great ball skills great one hand catch right here Momentum takes him into the end zone. So he ends up taking a knee here and taking the touch back. Okay. So there is a rule of momentum. If momentum carries you into the end zone, you can take a knee without it being a safety. Exactly. So if he would have caught this three yard line, two yard line, kind of stopped,

made a move and then circled back into the end zone, now it becomes a safety. But in the referees, I feel like a pretty lenient with that, but it is a judgment call and it clearly, I think carries him into the end zone by me with a sweet snag. I think so too, because he's bobbling too, because he had to stride out. Great catch, great snag, great pick. Tough week for Kirk Cousins.

Let's go to the next one. Tough week for Kirk. CJ, GJ. Four weeks actually, eight picks, no touchdowns. Tough month. Tough month, hey, roll it. Bury the ball. It's gonna happen.

Bury the balls. So here to start the two minute warning. It's been a great six, seven, however many weeks since Cooper DeGina has been thrown into that slot for this past defense. I wanna round it up to the beginning please. Something critical right here, especially when you're playing nickel

and you have to communicate to your outside corners, to your safeties, when you get these bunch formations. I always talk about verbal and nonverbal communication. If you just watch the Nickelback and Darius Slay are here communicating on who we have once this motion from Thielen happens Once it happens and then after it happens, you'll see Cooper. I'm sure they're talking but you'll see Dajin point like hey That's my guy. So if I'm the guy behind him, I can see it even if I don't hear him if I'm Slay I can see it even if I don't hear him. If I'm Slate, I can see it even if I don't hear him. They're home, so obviously their crowd is making some noise right here. Verbal and non-verbal communication is very, very key here.

He ends up getting in very good position to make Bryce Young throw this ball over the top and CJ GJ does his job getting out of that post once again breaking on intentions. He is the only zone defender on the field when you have man-to-man cover one coverage. Great job keying the quarterback and once he breaks that egg to throw the ball, great job reading the eyes. You hear people say getting off the hash all the time. Great job getting off the hash once again and overthrow that great coverage typically causes and then securing the ball with good ball skills along that sideline. The exciting whites are the real deal over there, huh?

Real deal. real deal. Reid isn't having as good a year as Cooper is, but Cooper has been, you could tell, like, world coach. You know, you can watch guys, especially rookies, like, based on their, based on, you can't hear, but I can just see that he's communicating. He's always trying to get a reroute. We saw the physicality when he came up and hit Derrick Henry,

but you can't make that hit unless you have a great Reid and a great break to get in that position to where 22 can't even square shoulders before you hit him so Vic Fangio is doing a great job that defense all around Zach Bond is probably honestly if he was a bigger name a first-round pick he'd probably be in defensive player of the year type conversation. I love anytime CJ GJ is making plays too. Yeah. Love that. Okay let's go to the next one shall we? Yes sir Kobe Bryant he's been making plays as well, been on here a few times. Now, cover three, we all know cover three,

you have the three deep guys, corner, free safety, corner and outside. But when you're that slot defender, and you get these stack formations, it's always kind of a gray area on, are we carrying that number two receiver, the final number two receiver, am I relating to him when he runs to the flat,

because they have kind of like a speed motion, they snap, he goes to the flat. So it's a little confusion here, and they actually have the seam route running wide ass open. So Kyler, he makes the throw, as that deep post defender, this is your job to clean it up. You are the deep guy, you're the only guy with vision on the quarterback.

You're just coming, getting off the only guy with vision on the quarterback No Coming getting off the hash getting out of the middle field and making a great place on the ball once again pressure I think cause you know this throw not to be perfect as well Kyler Especially this year nine times out of ten He's making this throw but as a DB when you get a chance you got to catch the ones they throw to you Kobe Bryant Has been taking advantage of his opportunity. See how ace what thank you. What is that face? You see it was a bad throw it wasn't a great throw it was space there, but it was a great great I think he was mad. He's called that pressure. I think it's probably no no

I mean mad at that throw like typically when you see those guys like step up there mm-hmm a Big plays coming yeah, so I mean and he was open so pressure sometimes, you know, you feel it The thing they played these guys I think three weeks ago two or three weeks ago Seattle sacked him five times and Seattle's gotten healthy up front. They've been beating the shit out of Kyler and guys they've been playing so sometimes pressure it may not be on this play But that shit it stats up it adds up and great job on the back end getting off and then finishing that play. Well, and also that is a situation where Kyler once played a develop and make play as opposed to just being Kyler Murray.

So as that continues to evolve, like Kyler is special. He's special with the ball in his hands. And I think he waiting for the shot, as opposed to maybe taking one. Once again- Or just throwing it earlier. Let him run into that. It was space there.

Throw it earlier. As soon as he took the first pitch, ball to the front. Yeah, put it on the line. Maybe you didn't see it Ball off back. That's what every online Chief let's go to some bad defense. Hey, maybe even this might historically. I know we only have one inductee Bad D Hall of Fame Stevenson who's bad the Hall of Fame going Once again covered through we have a three deep. It's that number two you get a motion you get a stack What are we gonna do with this? Seam route this number two receiver and is up in Justin Jefferson here

If you pause it a couple more frames boom I don't know what the confusion is but as that curl flat seam flat whatever defender either You have to carry number two down the field vertical all the way down the field or that Cornerback on the outside if it's a true zone coverage zone drop. He has to carry the deepest There's obviously confusion here not on the same page the cornerback stays with number one Nobody carries one of the best wide receivers in the national football league. He throws his hand up and In the db, I don't know if he got blinded by the light

I don't know what it was Yeah, and then yeah, but boy since yeah backwards Yeah, that's bad ball So you gotta have obviously awareness, awareness of the coverage, how we're covering it, and then it comes down to who we're covering, but you see him right here. Get in there. Oh, shit, oh, shit.

Oh, no, oh, no. Yeah, lost in the sauce. That's bad. That's. And he knows, in the moment. That's bad, yeah. Yeah, he knows. In that moment, he knows.

That's all time bad. That gotta be the second inductee in the Bad D Hall of Fame. Sorry, you're gonna get better. You're a Hall of Famer for bad. There's nowhere to go but up. Good for you. Thank you boys. Thank you, DB. Alright, we're gonna get the hell out of here. We can't thank you enough. We're announcing winners for this past week.
