Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this white Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025, this program starts right now. Football! It is wonderful and we are incredibly lucky that we get to talk about it every single day. We only have a few games left. Now granted, they are the most important games of the year for the NFL. We got two conference championships this weekend. Then we have a Super Bowl two weeks from then.

And then we have a, then we have a... Whole lot of nothing. Then we have a... Mania? WrestleMania. Boom. Then we have a... Draft? NFL draft.

Draft. Combine. Combine. Drama. Yes. Stories. Yes. Draft. Combine. Combine. Drama. Yes. Stories. Bullshit. NBA.

Formula One. You shut your goddamn mouth. Sorry. Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari. That's not your NFL vet and Formula One. Mark. Docky series fan.

Yeah. No. Sport. I don't think so. You said you were out on the sport. I never said that. Ladies and gentlemen, Dies fan. Yeah. No sport. I don't Never said ladies and gentlemen, there is J Butler That's really nice. What do you have on there? It's beautiful cost pretty penny, but I like well, of course Yeah, that's the society over there in g1. You gotta get really. Yep earn your keep over there This you got pay tides. You're gonna be a part of this operation. We're gonna need a lot You're gonna have to watch the docu-series which I think good is by all accounts, right? I haven't watched it for a few years. But it's the thing that

introduced you to the game. Kind of. I actually called on a random Sunday morning then I went and watched it. This isn't real. That's how I watch it. A lot of people watch the docu-series on Netflix which is awesome. Golf is launching its third season I believe of a similar type thing on Netflix, which I think is great for these sports Yeah, I think the NHL should do it Obviously the NBA is doing it with the starting five or whatever. All these tennis had a great one there for a while NHL does like HBO 24 hours or something they used to they did a series with Amazon this past season that followed around like McJesus and Awesome Matthews couple other guys those things are awesome. Those things are great. I think that's great for development of sport

But with that being said a lot of these sports are tough to watch night in night out You know, especially whenever it doesn't matter as much so what I'm saying is these three final games that we have the AFC Conference Championship What I'm saying is these three final games that we have. The AFC Conference Championship, which showcases a modern rivalry that people will be talking about forever. It's the new Tom versus Payton. It's the new conversation about who's the top dog

in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, AFC Championship. Tell us if you've heard this story before. Josh Allen, if he wins, will be the first time that he has beat Patrick Mahomes in playoffs. Wow.

But it will be his fifth time beating him as a whole. You see, Josh Allen is 4-0 against the Chiefs during the regular season, 0-3 during the playoffs. When it's winter, go home. Every single time, Josh Allen has had to go home whenever he's playing Patrick Mahomes Now is it Josh Allen's fault? Certainly not. I mean the games that he has played have been fantastic and obviously there's a lot of different storylines that have ended those games and

Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes because Patrick Mahomes has Patrick Mahomes shit on the biggest stages Just like he did this past week where he and Travis Kelsey had their most prolific game this season. Now, why is that? Well, it's because you either win or you go home. You'll win and continue your journey to the top of Lombardi Mountain, which the Chiefs are looking to do for a third straight time, first time ever in the modern NFL era. And then the Buffalo Bills, well, they've been a team that can't get the job done. Josh Allen's a guy who hasn't won an MVP and Doesn't look like he's gonna win one this year either and has he ever won a Super Bowl?

Why are we talking about this guy? Why is Josh Allen the prototype that I want everybody wants? Wow, if you can get the next Josh Allen that's quarterback you want then you hear all the people go that ain't got one guy Who wins? What are we even talking about? He does win. He's a fantastic footballer But until you get a ring and are able to hang a banner in that beautiful new stadium they're building up there in Buffalo, that is how you're gonna be judged forever. You can ask Dan Marino who still gets that brought up about him even though he's one of the greatest football players to ever walk this earth. It's chit-chat. Peyton Manning was a guy couldn't get the job done for a very very very long

time then he wins the Super Bowl. Big deal Elway same exact type of situation you're talking about when you win a Super Bowl you get a lot of questions and a lot of remarks taken out of your resume quickly Josh Allen has a chance to do that now obviously gonna have to get over his tallest hash yet and I put out a you know X poll and got 62,000 votes it feels like pretty large sample size yeah pretty large sample size 50%. Pretty large sample size. 50% of the people that voted on this said the Buffalo Bills are going to win Lombardi. Wow.

The Buffalo Bills are the team that are going to be able to figure out how to win the next one and then the big one. The Buffalo Bills are going to not only knock off Patrick Mahomes in the playoff for the first time, but they're going to be able to go ahead and beat whoever wins the NFC Championship. A young gun. In the first year of brand new ownership, first year of a brand new head coaching era, the first year of a brand new everything in Washington

has a rookie quarterback playing football better than potentially any rookie quarterback in the history of the game. We thought CJ Stroud was gonna be un-toppable. We thought CJ Stroud was incomparable. We thought the CJ Stroud's rookie year was gonna be something that was never gonna be able to be matched.

And then this dude shows up in Washington with Cliff Kingsbury as the offense coordinator and a litany of dogs across the board. Here's Terry McLoran's pregame speech to the offense for the Washington commanders before last week's massive upset over the Detroit Lions. The only thing you really got is your name and your reputation. What they gonna say about your name? What they gonna say about your reputation? What they gonna say when they turn that film on? I know what they gonna say about me. I'ma ride out. They gonna say, put some dogs, man.

Let's get it. See who you say you are, man. Win on three. One, two, three. Win. Yeah. I see why they beat the Lions. I see why this team is who they are. Obviously brand new, but you got a veteran like Terry McLaurin

who's had many successful years in the past in a transition era to relevancy for the first time in a long time, which kind of replicates Travis Kelce, beginning of a season with our beginning of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, they were a crop. They were not good. They were out.

Then he matures in the game and then he gets patched by Holmes and they become this brand new roof up to the top. Terry McLaurin has been waiting for the Washington commanders, Washington football team, Washington. Oh, was he there? No, no, he was not.

Okay, he's been looking. He's a football team commander. OG, yeah. Yeah. But he has been waiting alongside everybody else over there for the Washington, what was their name? What was it, AQ? Ladies and gentlemen, 12 year NFL Super Bowl champion,

AQ Shipley is here. How we doing? They're the commanders now. They were the football team. Then before that, where all their fans basically come from. Still wear all the gear. Still wear all the gear, every away game. Sean Taylor played for them.

Yeah, I remember that. Great player. Great player. Brisk and held to the risk. That's what it was. Reg scams. HTTR. I'm a bit, I remember that. Great player. Great player. Redskins, held to the Redskins. That's what it was. Redskins. H-T-T-R. Look, I'm a little bit too comfortable saying that. As a person whose face turns very red on a regular basis, sounds like that's potentially... Yeah, it's certainly not. Now, if the commanders... Then that's what it is. Go in a Super Bowl, it's commanders forever. But there's a lot of people saying, now's the time, okay? We've been able to kind of restore

who we are, what we are. We have a brand new owner. We have a brand new quarterback. We have a brand new everything, a brand new vibe in Washington as the commanders have Terry McLaurin, who's been waiting for this moment. Remember, there's a lot of teams that wanted Terry McLaurin. Listen, you're going to let your entire career go into irrelevance because you're playing for a bad team. Why don't you come over to another? He's from Indiana. I wanted him back with the Colts bad. I thought there there was a chance we're gonna be able to get him back because you hear him talk,

that's a guy you want in a locker room, well it's not just him, feels like their entire locker room is bought in, Jaden Daniels is one of the coolest customers in the history of the NFL, as a rookie being able to dissect everything, even as Detroit Lions defense this past weekend who have been dominant and aggressive and have been shutting people down and confusing people all the season long, Aaron Glenn brought more blitzes than anybody in the NFL this season and all Jaden Daniels did was sit in the pocket and have the highest QBR against man, third down, fourth down, I think everything as they go in to a tough place to play. Take on the Johns of Philadelphia. This Eagles

team is tough. This Eagles team is ground and pound. This Eagles team is built for the moment. This Eagles team just had to win a game in a snowstorm and they certainly were capable of doing that. You know, these games are of massive importance. They say, can you run the ball? Can you stop the run? Philadelphia Eagles can do both very, very well. Eagles are favored by six at home in front of the Johns, in front of the mayor, who I assume will have learned how to spell the name of the team also Our country's burnt. I feel like you should have to know how to spell. Yeah Big moments our mascot part nervous. Yeah, cuz mayors don't speak at things a lot

So I understand what you're talking about. I completely understand what you're saying. Is that bad momentum? That's bad mojo. Is that, you know, I watched that and I'm like, oh, I can see how you make that mistake. I can see it. Here it is. Let me hear you all say E-L-D-S-E-S, ego! Can't understand how you make the mistake, obviously.

Ain't every spelling things out, it's going to be tough. Pete Tham were one of the smartest guys I have ever been around I try to spell it ought to go, you know, because the OTT ogo in the internet Yeah, and I think he said OTT oto or something like that like it's hard. It's not always easy now granted is a chant that has been around in Philadelphia I think for maybe a hundred years since the Liberty Bell was cracked back there whenever they were the He's been around in Philadelphia, I think, for maybe 100 years since the Liberty Bell was cracked back there whenever they were the original capital of the United States of America.

But I watched it and I said, hold the phone now. Because in Washington, it feels like everybody's kind of moving in the same direction. Philadelphia, now we got the mayor not even knowing how to spell the team's name. I'm not, listen, is that bad mojo? I don't know. Does that even exist in Philadelphia? Because all the bad mojo that was thrown at this Eagles team, even though they were winning, the championship Sunday should be remarkable

Both games are gonna be electrifying and we need to watch it and appreciate it because we don't have a lot left Talks the tables here at boss Connor at I should make con man for a long time Your Patriots were part of this conversation hosting this weekend. It was kind of the New England Patriots weekend now It's Kansas City Chiefs weekend, brother. Everybody thinks the refs are on their side. And did you know the Super Bowl logo? It's got a lot of red in it. Yep red know the Super Bowl logo it's got a lot of red in it yep red and green yeah it's got a lot of red and there is some green in there but it's a majority little red gold and green in there and I guess you've go back in time the Super Bowl logo for a long time has kind of given away the script and what's been and the

teams are normally in there so they're saying Chiefs Eagles but a lot of people are saying the NFL the refs everybody is behind the Chiefs, mostly because Taylor Swift's over there. Yeah, it's hard to argue because we watch the games and we see the calls, but you know, good teams, things tend to go their way and the Chiefs are a great, great team. This will be the first time in my life that I am genuinely rooting for the Buffalo Bills. So I feel like I can say that. I think their city deserves that. I think Josh is awesome.

Yes, this is a genuine root for it. You know, the Chiefs are great. And of course, the Bills, their fan base is insufferable, but most of these fan bases are minus the HTTR. But again, the Chiefs are on their way to doing something great. I think the reason I want the Bills to win is because the Patriots can never win three in a row. So the argument, you know, Chiefs to win is because the Patriots could never win three in a row So the argument, you know chiefs dynasty better than the Patriots dynasty I think that'll get held over all of New England's head. I think that starts to gain some real legs

You know once they win if they win three in a row because everyone says well, they only have three Super Bowls You know the Patriots they had six in 20 years the Chiefs only have three you win three in a row That is the greatest three-year four-year five-year span because it'll be four and five years in the history of football without a doubt. But the bills I think you know I think they have the juice to get it done and although the refs are seemingly on the chief side even though you can't say that and it's not real I don't think that is a very real thing. We don't know maybe these refs have daughters that are feeling 22. There's a chance and T-Swift definitely helps you know for the NFL to grow the game you know they they love their ratings and of course T-Swift is definitely a huge pull as is Caitlin Clark as we've learned with the new women's basketball league but again the Buffalo Bills they have what it takes but I want to just

count out the Eagles. It's a new brand. Of course it is. It's a new brand. No doubt about it. I wouldn't count out the Eagles and I wouldn't count out the Jaden Daniel Commies even though it's a new era in the states. I think Commies are going down. I would say that with the Philadelphia... You know life always... What it imitates are... or you know sports always imitates society. Yeah exactly. That is kind of how it goes. That's why I'm hoping the Commies go down. But again, the Eagles, I would say, they have what it takes. And people don't like Jalen Hurts, one of them sitting on the stage, but people don't

like Jalen Hurts. And I do think with Saquon, with the way that team is built, that there's an easy path to see the Eagles go all the way. And that was the big convo with the Commies versus the Lions. Like, hey, the commanders have the third way and that was the big convo with the commies versus the Lions like hey the commanders have the Third-worst rush defense in the NFL So when you think about that you think about how the Eagles are built it would be something where the Eagles could go all the way This would be their kind of second Super Bowl in the last few years as well again Nick Sirianni

Maybe not a huge big dumb dip shit if he's going to another Super Bowl, but I can't wait it stinks that it's here It stinks that these are no no, it's good. Remember, it's good It's good because of the fact that we're getting answers, you know We play all these games to get to championship weekend But but you miss all those games that full slate on Sunday You know a stacked one o'clock a stacked four o'clock a great Sunday night that you wait all day for but yeah You're talking about seven hours of Red zone football. Yeah, no more commercial free but still change. That was big change this year. Yeah massive that kind of that doesn't exist

Anyway, so there's no even reason to talk about it right now Yeah, I know and that's all we gots two games plus it's nice Scott Hanson can go piss, you know now now he can drink water I'm still thinking of a chance. He do there's a little depends. Where's the catheter? Yeah, there's a chance I mean, I don't know. He's a machine obviously a weapon very good at his job I don't know if his contracts up or whatnot if it is or ever is near He's in a great position of leverage. I think he should feel that way. Good luck to him in his negotiations But yeah two games, you know one day. Yeah, it's not a lot of ball left Yeah, but these games are going to be electrifying.

D. Butch, I'll talk to you about the chief story here. You know, because there's a guy on the stage and Connor alluded to him earlier about Jalen Hertz, who, you know, his entire gimmick is offensive line, offensive line, offensive line, offensive line. Yeah. No gimmick. It's real.

Okay. Well, until last week Yeah so last week when you had the Eagles as the number one offensive line left in the playoffs and then you had them ranked as the Sixth best team out of eight It's like well I thought your entire thing was we go as the O line goes and then you got the number one O line And you drop them down to six it kind of ruins your gimmick. Just just keep with that list up, please

Real quick the this is what happened. You had them as the number one ranked offensive line that was left and Then you put them at sixth as the team rankings in that entire thing And then the offensive line said hey Cush we can win games. Come on. We can win we can win games. Yeah, but a Lack of offensive line can lose you games. There's one team that you were very worried about I think right offensive line wise It's the Kansas City Chiefs like very worried very worried I watched the film literally two times through to try and find one good clip that I could put on this show For the entire game for the entire game, and I had to watch it again. I was like there's no way I just went through a whole game and didn't see one good clip to find the beat detections

How is this team the number one seed in the AFC? How is this team the Kansas City Chiefs so that's's that's where this thing called an X factor comes in. Sometimes there's there's there's one guy that kind of comes along. There's one guy that comes along. Who's that? You know my your guys LeBron, my guys Jordan, right? This guy's. I've never cast an official ballot. Just would like that to be known. I have never. LeBron guy, big LeBron guy, big Jordan guy. Big Jordan guy, big LeBron guy. We get it. Hold the phone! Time to get on the right side of this, brother. I'm not talking about they're playing two different sports!

I'm not getting into this argument right now. LeBron is better. I watched that last dance thing. I saw people dribbling like this. That's all I'm saying. LeBron couldn't have played back then. I think he could have. Now, I think Jordan could have very much played in this era as well. Two different sports, I don't think we should be comparing

anything there. But now we come back to this sport, the number 15's that guy. He's that guy. He literally runs around, he makes some people miss, and he makes a play, and then he's got a Hall of Fame tight end that also does his little run around, move back this way, and they're always on the same page.

Oh, by the way, on the other side, they got a Hall of Fame defensive tackle, a Hall of Fame defensive coordinator and maybe the smartest offensive coach in all. And potentially Hall of Fame kicker over there and butcher on the run that he's on. Hall of Fame special teams coach in Tobe in this entire thing. Yeah. They got a lot of greatness over there but that's why I don't understand why they let the offensive line get this way. What was it? It was injuries right? Left tackle, Tooney has to move out there. That was the biggest thing.

The interior three, whenever Tooney's in there, is as good as any interior three in all of football, right? Their tackles, it was an issue from the beginning of the season, and we knew that. We knew that going into it. They thought they could play some guys into it. They have not been able to do that. They bring in DJ Humphries.

His knee wasn't quite ready, so they rode with Tooney out to left tackle. They said, hey, listen, we like the continuity with this guy. He's a Hall of Fame guard, can get it done, and that's what they're going with. Okay, so joining us now is a man who might have an opinion on all of this. He has passed for over 40,000 yards in the NFL. Nine time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl champion. Ladies and gentlemen, a first ballot Hall of Famer whenever it's all said and

done, five years obviously after it's all said and done. In last year's quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, ladies and gentlemen Russell Wilson Hey, what's up? How you guys doing? Dude great? I think it's the first time you've ever been on our show So we just want to say thank you Hey, we're great obviously we're doing our shit You know and saying dumb things into a microphone on a regular basis and what we were just talking about there I'd actually like to get your take on this entire thing

Aq Shipley comes on our show every single week throughout the season and you know, he kind of like judges offensive lines He was a 12-year NFL offensive lineman won a Super Bowl you get it short arms was drafted low round belly But he was able to get the job done. Ain't that right? Never lost in Thank you, thank you got the job done. Ain't that right? Never lost in CO. The complete opposite of you, Pat. Okay, yes, exactly. Thank you. Thank you. Got the job done. Super Bowl champion. Yeah, all those things much different than me. But he judges the offensive lines every single week. He thinks the Chiefs, obviously at this stage of the game, have, because of injuries and everything, the offensive lines could be a question. For you, in your game, offensive line most important part of this entire

thing, or how do you kind of judge it as a quarterback who's obviously played a lot of incredible football in the NFL? Yeah, I think in any game, in football in particular, offensive line, defensive line, they set the tone for the games. You guys were talking about the Chiefs a little bit. Obviously, I got some playmakers on the defensive line that cause havoc. And Patrick, his ability to escape and make plays is really what makes him really special You know, obviously his unique ability to do that for sure. Okay, so Russ cooking is

Similar conversation whenever that was being talked about let Russ cook. Let Russ cook Russ needs to cook I don't think I ever heard you or anybody from around you talk about it What did that mean to you and did you view that as a compliment and are we still in the kitchen? Are we still in the kitchen? Yeah, we're still cooking. But I think the biggest thing is, you know, man, it's just, you know, we got playmakers around you always makes it fun. You know, I think even think about this year, you know, when we were on a hot streak and just some of the guys just making plays, obviously, George Pickens is such a freak out there. Pat Frymuth, I thought had a great year a great year now. I think the biggest star to this season even was just Calvin Austin.

I think his emergence and his work ethic, those guys allow you to, I guess, cook it away. And obviously the guys up front, they do a great job just battling every play and just giving us a chance to make plays. We enjoyed the run with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Obviously came to an end earlier than you would have wanted

and all the people that are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers as well to an end earlier than you would have wanted and all the people that are fans Of the Pittsburgh Steelers as well but let's talk about these last couple years because obviously I think we all viewed you as a Seattle Seahawk for the rest of your Life because of everything that happened there the wins the success the errors there was different errors But we also thought Tom Brady was gonna be a New England Patriot forever We thought Peyton Manning was gonna be an Indianapolis Colts forever. We thought Stafford was gonna be a Detroit Lion forever So this you know successful very good quarterback late in career Going and finding a new home has become the modern norm for you whenever you leave Seattle go to Denver

That goes how it goes. Then you go to Pittsburgh. How is the mindset been going into new places? Do you feel as if you have to read like kind of earn everybody's trust in the entire building or how have you kind of? Framed it as you have had to have new homes here Yeah, you know, that's a great question But I think the biggest thing is is that first of all I think every year you got to earn the respect of the guys around you and the love and the passion that you bring To the table I think all of that really matters and in terms of leadership and playing the game that we love and you know

It doesn't matter where we play, whether it's in the parking lot or if it's, no matter where it is, you earn that respect by how you practice and how you prepare and how you come into the weight room and your mentality to that and just all those different things along the way. And going into Pittsburgh was a special place for me.

I love it. And hopefully I get to play there a lot longer, but just it's a special place because of the guys in the locker room, the traditions and the people and the winning and all of that. Plus you got much, you know, Mike Tomlin, who's, you know, arguably the best coach of all time, one of the top ones and just because of who he is and how he motivates us. And, you know, even through the storm, you know, I think that we battled and, and a lot of that was because of coach Tomlin and who he is and how he makes us

prepare. And so, you know, I had the gift of just being in La Trobe this off season and just being around guys like Cam Hayward. I've always looked up to a guy who's man of the year and guy who's an all pro, guys like TJ Watt and-. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you do not want him to attack with you, that's for sure. Yeah, of course. But just guys like TJ Watt and just, there's so much leadership in that locker room like guys that

You know are unsung heroes and I think that's that's what makes it special so we get to you know be around guys like that it makes it special and and Obviously when you're seeing the towel fly around all that that makes a difference, too Yeah, I feel like you embrace the Yenzer culture immediately from day one. I think you had a terrible towel in your Opening announcement video that you were gonna be there and I think Pittsburgh's appreciated that as a whole I also you talked to Bill Cower I think in a sit-down interview and you said that Mike Tomlin was the first person that called you whenever There was a thought of you becoming a new team's quarterback when you talked to him that day

Obviously everybody in the NFL has respect for Tomlin I think I don't think I've ever talked to a player that's played in the NFL during the Tomlin era that doesn't absolutely love him. But did he kind of lay out what it was going to look like and what was your experience thinking about what your experience was going to be going in and then inevitably what was it actually with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Yeah well I got that first call from Mike it was just exciting because I've always looked up to him he's a Virginia guy you know so I got it's got VA in his blood two up two down I It was just exciting because I've always looked up to him. He's a Virginia guy, you know, so I got, it's got VA in his blood, two up, two down. I just, it was something that I've always watched being an East coast kid growing

up and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and watching the greatness of the guys before us. And I think a lot of it was, uh, you know, my passion for the game, but also I got to play against them. You know, I got to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers several times. We played them in, I think 2015 and it was a back and forth battle. I had a lot of, you know, just watching Big Ben and we ended up winning the game in Seattle, but it was a great game that we played there before. And so I got to meet him several times, which is admiration there.

So we talked about that a lot. But what we really talked about was just the love for the game and the process and the guys. And I think I really related to that in a great way. So man, to answer your question, I think a big part of it was, it superseded just my expectations of just who the locker room is and the guys and who he is. I mean, this guy gets there super early.

I think he's there probably 430 in the morning, ready to go watching this film. We meet on Wednesdays and Thursdays early at 7 AM and just the detail that he goes through this film is really remarkable with, you know, with me and the rest of the quarterbacks and everybody else and the leadership group and all that and just how he goes about his business is really remarkable. And listen, I think that we didn't do what we needed to do this year. You know, obviously, you know, every, you know, there's 31 teams that are sitting at home at some point pissed off and we're definitely definitely one of those that was too early for us.

And so, you know, I think that the big part to it is that, you know, you continue to search for greatness every day. You continue to search for the process and the love of it. And knowing that it's all going to be worth it at some point. And I think that's the mentality you got to have going into it. Anytime you're sitting in a 7 a.m. meeting with somebody and they told you that they've been up for two and a half hours, it's like, wow, you're much more going into it. Anytime you're sitting in a 7 a.m. meeting with somebody and they told you that they've been up for two and a half hours, it's like, well, you're much more adult than me.

I am very proud. I'm more of a moon guy. OK, I'm kind of up a little bit later than you are. But damn, 430, you can get a lot of stuff done in those early hours. And I'm excited to hear that, you know, it was a chatter about love of ball, because I think love of ball kind of takes care of everything else. The film study, the film study the Workout the preparation to buy in everything. I think it revolves around Love of football and we know you were a baseball player as well

Yeah, and everything that's kind of chit-chatted about you in your playing game is can move obviously can shake rattle But that moonshot deep ball that you throw is almost like your calling card I would say, you know, there's players that are known for things, you know, there's fighters that are known for different combos There's wrestlers that have different finishers feels like you're known for like the moonshot deep ball I I didn't play baseball I don't know if there is a correlation of baseball with throwing a moon drop into into somebody's lap But this is like your thing. Why do you think this has become your thing and is this just the most comfortable throw that you have?

Yeah, well, I think it's definitely, I've been fortunate guys give me a gift to be able to throw the ball down the field, you know, and put it where I need to for guys to make a play. I think there's a few things to it. Number one, I think the guys you have making plays is always everything. I mean, you know, you get to, you know, put the ball up in the air. Guys like Tyler Lockett, as you saw in that picture, guys like DK, but also, you know, guys like George Pickens, his ability to track the football, Calvin Austin, you saw that this year, uh,

his ability to make those plays. I mean, you're watching George right here, but I think what's interesting is, is that like, you know, when you got guys that are great center fielders, you know, guys like Ken Griffey Jr., you know, you know, they can track anything when you hit the ball deep down the field. And so I think for me, you know, in terms of the moon ball is, it's kind of like watching Steph Curry shoot, you know, you want to give that high trajectory just to give the guy the best chance and give him a time to track it. And I think that I guess the angle to departure of the ball is always good, but you know, I have fun with it, man. And it's definitely a strength to the game. I think that, but it's always the guys around you making

the plays that make it even that much more fun. Yeah, certainly some highlight real catches are possible on deep balls and you've had more than a few of those on the other end. But like they say the hoops bigger up there, you know, it's, it's bigger when it's coming from up there. Some of those throws that we just watched, obviously some, this one, it's like this thing is dropping down like a punt, basically in between people. It's unguardable, D, but it feels like some of these are literally unguardable.

Back shoulder, they say, unguardable. And if it's being dropped from the roof, I feel like that's potentially a tough one to get your hands on. Yeah, it's tough to find it late for DBs. Like receivers, obviously, they got a better job tracking. A lot of DBs will look back at the quarterback as opposed to up. I read you a OG he was like hey look up look up look up and you can track it better but when it's coming in from that trajectory dropping it's

definitely tough super tough for DB's. Okay so let's talk about. You know you know a little something about planting too it's kind of like you know you got those great punt returners and you saw that video of Cortland catching that one but like just you know you got to put it to a place where they can get it. And I think the big thing too is having that hang time just to make them make the play, you know? Hey, did you hear him talking about you maybe not being able to do that anymore?

Cause you're old as shit. Now you know that you've been around so long, right? You played so long now, nine time pro bowler, let alone the rest of it, nine time pro bowler, let alone everything else you have going on three different stops, but that was one of the conversations during the offseason whenever you're either trying to find a place or wasn't working out in Denver They're like Russ is old now. This ain't young Russ anymore. This is old Russ. He's not able to do all this I assume you heard those things every professional athlete tries to hear and find those things But did you hear the shit that was being said about you both?

Will say professionally football wise and personally you as a human or you should keep on that. You hear it. You, you, uh, you know, you, you hear it around you. You feel it sometimes and listen, I think that the, you know, what you, what we do as athletes every time is, you know, trying to defy odds every day. You know, I think that's the mentality you gotta have. I think, you know, going to never my first year I was banged up quite a bit. I had my lap torn and everything else was battle through to battle through it, but in the second year. I felt great

You know I I felt like you know going to those games We you know and just battle and then just you know You know trying to light it up there in that moment And I felt like I played really well felt myself again in my second year Then I got you know opportunity to to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and be there and obviously like I said this year You know was an exciting year in a lot of ways. It was tough at the end Obviously we didn't get it done, but I got so much more in me man. I'm excited Obviously my goal is to be with the Pittsburgh Steelers a long time and you know

Hopefully finish my career there God willing but you know, I'm just trusting God in the process But also knowing that you know, I I've always gone against the odds and people, you know, doubting. And I think that's, that's just a part of my nature. I don't know if it's a little man syndrome or what, but I just, I love, I love ball, man. I love, I love competing every day and I just love getting after it. And then anybody who knows me knows that, you know, I'm going to do everything I can to be my best for the longest time possible.

Okay. On that answer. And it's the last one for me before the boys have questions for you we can't thank you enough for your time here on this glorious Wednesday you talked about what were you fourth round was third or fourth round? Oh third round. Third rounder okay but they had just signed Matt Flynn I think to a massive deal over there in Seattle you talk about defying odds and everything like that you weren't supposed to be the starter but I think it was halfway

through training camp maybe where Pete Carroll came out and was like hey we got a guy we got a we really like Russell Wilson. You and Pete kind of together seemingly echoed the same exact sentiments. His name is now being floated back into head coaching cycle as people are saying potentially Las Vegas Raiders for Pete Carroll. What was it like working with Pete? How would you describe your relationship with Pete and have you caught up with him since you have left Seattle Seahawks? Yeah, you know, in my rookie year, you know, was an amazing moment just because, you know, kind of going in there, and I was third string quarterback at the time and just, you know, I just kept my head down and just kept working. I think, you know, I think the first preseason game we played against Tennessee Titans, I remember

throwing a touchdown, I think Braylon Edwards. I ran on my guy Charlie Martin made an unbelievable block and I ran up for a 50 yard touchdown dough from the end zone. That was kind of my first like, okay, you know, and then the second game I think we played in Denver, you know, played well there. And then the third game got the start against the Chiefs and threw a few touchdowns there. And so it was just like, okay, here we go. And it was, you know, I had such great players around me. I had such great guys that were competitors, you know, and, you know, you think about just the players that we had. And so I thought coach, coach Carroll did a tremendous job of leading us and, you know, pushing us every

day to be our best back then. And, and I think us players wanted it, you know, we wanted that level of work and attention and that, that and attention and that kind of defying the odds in a way. So yeah, listen, I think Pete's an amazing football coach. I think he's an amazing individual. I've been fortunate to play for two really special coaches in terms of men and how they think and how they process the game. Obviously, in coach Pete Carroll and obviously coach Mike Tomlin are really unique individuals and how they lead and motivate. I think they're culture builders. And so, you know, I think people you know do a great job wherever he goes. I'm not sure exactly where he's looking or whatever, but if he gets the opportunity, I know he'll do a great job. And we've always stayed in touch. I wanted to

see him in a lot of the other guys, you know, Bobby and the guys like Doug Baldwin and, and, and DK Metcalf and all that, the Sherman, all those guys, when, when coach Carol got let go from Seattle, you know, we, we spent a lot of time there and we flew back in and just spent a lot of time with him and just, we have, you know, memories. I said, you know, it's funny. Cause I said, you know, if Sherman and I could be in the same room, it's always a good thing, you know, you know, but you know, we, we were just all competitors man, we love playing ball, we love winning, we love pushing in and I think Pete always did a good job of that.

I'm happy to hear that, that you guys went back there had a little reunion you know to celebrate the times that you all had up there in Seattle. It was a special air up there man, especially with that stadium rocking. I don't want to break this news to you because you might not know this. I guess that stadium's gettable now. Yeah, other teams fans are coming in there and getting it Yeah, I know I know that's not yeah. Yeah. Yeah, cuz that place is special I think I think that when it was named century link it was it was it was it was a certain vibe to I don't know I don't I'm not sure you know if they need to go back Link, who knows, but it was a special place. Obviously just the guys that we had

and the competitors was always unique in itself. Yeah, it was fun to watch you guys. Legit, it was fun to watch those teams. And if Pete Carroll's back chewing his gum on the sideline, I'm in. I'm in just the energy, the massive Monarchs, just walking, doing his thing. Yeah, throwing warmups, spinning it.

I mean, absolutely spinning it. I hope that's the case. Hey, the boys have some questions for you. Is that okay, Russ? Yeah, of course. Talking about you being an old ass dude now, Ty has a question for you. Yeah, Russ, as a Packers fan, you know, a lot of sleepless nights that you delivered to me when I was a little bit younger, because it seemed like a lot of times, hey, you know, third, Nate, third, nine,

boom, Russ is going to pick up 16 with his legs. Now, obviously you've gotten older. You mentioned it. And not to say that you can't do that stuff anymore, but you were such a dynamic athlete early in your career, picking up all those first downs with your legs, how have you kind of realized you've had to change as a quarterback as you've gotten older and maybe realizing like, okay, these guys actually have a step on me now. Whereas when I was a younger player in the league,

I could very easily pick up those third and longs with my legs. Yeah, I can still run, I can still get up and get up and go. But I think that as you continue to evolve, try to facilitate the ball to the right guys at the right time and guys getting it to them in the air as much as possible, letting them do their thing. And then when it's time, using your legs, and I think that's a big part of the game.

And obviously my ability to get outside and naked and play action and boot, that's always been a huge part and still is. And that part that I feel like I still do extremely well. I think you try not to spin out and do crazy stuff all the time But you know when you need it and you got to do it, you know I think I go back to the Cleveland Browns game was 4.6 this year and it was it was a Trimential just the downpouring of snow great game

Yeah, I just kind of spun out and went left and we had to have it and I ended up hitting Pat For a big first down. He made a great play and I just remember miles garages Rocking me right there in that moment, but just you know those things, you know, I'm still a capable doing I think that we got playmakers around you though You know you try to get it to them so they can make those plays as much as possible But point guard, you know, I'm always I'm always working on my speed You know I think that's a big part of every offseason is make sure that I I can still get up to 19 20 miles an hour and still

Feel good about it. Oh, yeah, so your ass day after season ended doing this one right here. It's going to look good doing that You know, it's like not bad. Hey, I've been working working on a little bit a little bit of balance Are we doing any more baseball? I remember we see baseball, you know, I'm playing baseball with my son, you know future He's he's got a chance. He's got a real real chance So I was my son future and when when when's four years old But he's you know, I think he may be a shortstop for the Yankees one day I got a future over here was actually playing for the Major League ten-year-old the 12 year old Yankees So, you know, I don't know. I need to call Derek Jeter and get some tips for that from him playing shortstop

But I think he's got a chance, he's got a good swing. He's got a home run power swing, he's got some speed to him, got a good arm. So that's the baseball I'm playing right now, it's fun though. Yeah, through visualized through the entire thing because Ty, who's the Yankees fan just noted. Yeah, Russ, the Yanks don't have a second baseman right now going into this year. So listen, I understand you still want to play quarterback. Yeah, free agent though.

Hey, what's up? Hey, maybe something to think about. You know, if you see them- I turn a mean double play. I'm just saying, I still can't. They need that. They had the most errors in the second base in the majors last year. Hey, listen, can we talk about this finally?

Because every time you do this training camp thing, every time, or whatever it's called, what do you guys call your- Spring training. There it is, spring training. I don't know baseball. Same thing. I is spring training. I don't know baseball same thing I apologize Ross. I don't know baseball well enough I do have respect for the fact though that the Yankees are the Yankees and they're the ones that are having you at spring training It's not like every human is allowed to just come do you a good player

Like good baseball player and can you hit a curveball like isn't that the big difference Tim Tebow, right? Yeah, the ability to hit the curve ball is always that everything, you know, you, the thing is you take so many reps, you know, I think baseball is one of those, what's kind of like golf a little bit. I don't know if you can play golf at all, but you know, yeah, it's one of those things that your ability to hit, you know, something that's coming at nine, eight, 97, 98 miles an hour. And then also the ability to, you know, at any point they break it off.

I think that ability to do that. So, you know, I could, I could hit for sure, but you know, I, I didn't just spend more time on baseball. I'm glad I decided to do football. God just kind of said, Hey, let's, let's come over here and just do this. But, um, it's been, um, it's been fun. I love baseball, man. It's, it's, it's, uh, just being able to, you know, play and just, it's, you know, I think it's, you know, God created baseball for everybody to enjoy.

You know, my, some of my favorite times were just, you know, um, being on, being on the created baseball for everybody to enjoy it You know my some of my favorite times were just you know being on being on the baseball field in my in my in my young years Were you sunflower seeds guy? I Was a son possible, you know, I I'm a sunflower seeds guy, but I chew all the sunflowers I don't think you know everybody breaks one at a time I'm kind of one of those guys just like you know, it's almost like if I had shoe in that's that's me I don't you know, I'm sure I'm sure you and the boys do but Back on nicotine the only thing that really spent all the other things I'm okay with the my body There's a plethora of them, you know, the forest is where I like to remain mostly.

You know, that is where I work. But all the other ones, you know, had nicotine and tobacco just kind of, it sent me into the, into the whirly birds way too much. I'm not doing this. You know, I had to do like the leg on the ground. Oh yeah. On the bed.

We don't want you punting, we don't want you punting with a little swirly in your head. But I did booze pretty good whenever I was punting. I don't do you punting. We don't want you punting with a little swirly in your head. But I did booze pretty good whenever I was punting. I don't do as much. You never you you're not a real you'll have a beer with the boys? I try to be you know clean as possible for me. That makes sense. I'm not in the forest like you as much. Hey, anytime I want to hit a different altitude you let me know. I'm assuming there's a lot of people that have that offer on the table for you would love missed out would love to smoke with Russell

Have to take your back obviously just like when Pete Carroll Yeah, you know you head out to the deep but has a question for you, right? That's probably the reason you hit the ground running as a rookie you came in set a set a passer rating record For 26 touchdown. I think that was a record as well went to the divisional round What's your thoughts on what Jayton? Daniels was able to do out there this season now during his playoff run And I know you spent some time with Dan Quinn in Seattle thoughts on him as a head coach leading that organization to their next Chapter that's a great question first of all

I got to play Jayton Daniels this year and the commanders and guys like Bobby, you know, I got to go against Manchester guy. I truly admire and just going against him and calling plays against him was fun this year and it was a battle. It was a great game. It went down to the wire and it was back and forth, back and forth. And you know, Jaden was, was a special player that day. He was also special throughout the whole season. I think, um, you know, he's got a great demeanor to him.

He's got great poise. I think that when anytime you're looking at a quarterback, through the highs and lows of the season, do they remain the same? Do they remain the same? Do they stay confident in the midst of it all? What are their practice habits? Can they make plays in certain moments?

The games on the line, do you believe that they're gonna make the play no matter what the circumstances are? Do you believe that they're gonna make the play, no matter what the circumstances are? Do you believe that, hey, when they're down and at the half or whatever it is, do you believe that they can bring it back? And I think those are the it factors and the things that you gotta believe in. I think Jayden does a great job of that. I got to be around him some last off season and everything else and

he just got a cool demeanor to him. He's obviously confident and I had a lot of respect for him when we played him. And he's gonna have a great career for sure. Going back to your Dan Quinn question though, he's one of those all time great motivators. Him and interesting story, Mike Tomlin and Dan Quinn were actually boys for a long time, William Mary, VMI. Coach Tomlin was telling me that during the season when we were about to play

those guys. And I've always stayed close to Coach Quinn. I think he's just a tremendous individual. William Mary, VMI, Coach Tomlinson was telling me that during the season when we were about to play those guys. I've always stayed close to Coach Quinn. I think he's a tremendous individual. He's a guy who gets there early as well. He's this guy who's dedicated to his players. He's a tremendous teacher. I think all the great coaches are great teachers.

There's some photos coming out of Quinn back from college and high school. Oh man. Yeah, me too. Yeah, stats. He might have had the Tabaki. Horseshoe. Yeah, he might have had. Maybe, maybe. Yeah, that me too. Yeah, he might have had the Tabaki. Horseshoe. Yeah, he might have had That head too, I mean he was you know backwards hat Dan Quinn has been awesome to watch and they certainly look at this guy

That's Dan Nuke There is a half a tin in that right side of that face before now. I've seen it I know it for sure dog dog Absolutely, I think he has some record in Track and Field there at Salisbury's Day and then obviously his football photos are hilarious as well and now he's flipped an entire franchise like that overnight with new ownership and they're obviously happy. Speaking of being happy, a man who's been a die-hard Steelers fan his entire life,

let's head to Hammer. Don, Don. AP Tone. Yeah Russell, first and foremost thank you so much for everything you did for the city this year especially the Children's Hospital. I know that means a lot to the injured so we really appreciate that. But you talked about wanting to finish your career with the Steelers. Has there been any talks with Omar or Coach Tomlin about that yet? And if you do how much do you think you know second year with Arthur, second year with all the weapons, how much do you think development like that can help next year? Yeah man that's a great question. First of all man the kids in Children's Hospital, they have a great Children's Hospital there in Pittsburgh. Obviously

the people there are unbelievable and it's really about the nurses and doctors and what they do for everyone man. It's really special just I've been fortunate to meet so many kids over the years, and that's kind of my Tuesday. Just kind of, you know, just thanking God just for the opportunity to try to be an influence and impact, and those days are like some of my favorite days. That and Sundays, you know, just were the best. But, you know, I think first of all,

yes, we have been starting to talk a little bit, obviously, and, you know, we've had our meetings and everything else and kind of just getting into it. So I think that it's an exciting time, I think, obviously, to be at Pittsburgh Steelers and the opportunity of what we can do. But I think at the same time, you know, I think that, you know, Omar and Coach Tomlin, man, just, I really love those guys and who they are and the team that they put together and the team that we can't put together. And so I think that's a big part of it.

And I think, as you mentioned, I think anytime you go into any offense, I think always that first year, second year, third year, those years together always make a difference and grow. I think you think about some of the all time great guys, you guys like Tom Brady and guys like obviously Peyton Manning, they've been in systems for a little while. I think that always helps too. And so, you know, I got a lot of respect for Arthur, who he is as a teacher, as a coach, you know, and a competitor as well.

You know, we spent a lot of time on Fridays together and all that. So, but yeah, I'm really excited about the opportunity of being in Pittsburgh, hopefully longer and just you know I guess I would always trust in God in the process you like Arthur No, yeah, I like all that Anytime you lose the game or two or whatever it goes on people always try to tear things down I think Arthur's just a you know a great coach. I think obviously he's got it has been a head coach you know, a great coach. I think obviously he's got, he's been a head coach,

you know, and he's, we love trying to find ways to, to, you know, compete every day and just get better. So, you know, he's, he's a great coach. I didn't even think about last year, you didn't even have a chance to do training camp because you hit a sled too hard. What, what do we not know about this story? Cause when it came out, I won't let you know,

Tone and all the insers were like, what are we, what are we doing? What, we lose our quarterback because of a sled drill and this entire thing. What happened? You were full pads. Who was standing on the sled? We were just pushing this heavy sled as fast as we could

and whatever, and just doing this, this workout testing thing we were doing. And it was unfortunate, but you know, I think the best thing that during that time period, it was ironically good for me because you're going into Latrobe and I'm sure you guys have been out there before, but you know, going out there was, was a special time because we have to sit, you know, at late at nights and just sit with the fellas and play UNO and, and have some

good times chopping up with the guys. And then, you know, early in the mornings and, you know, I get in the pool and work out quite a bit and then, you know, lift and everything else and do whatever I could do. And, and just being with the guys in the training room I get in the pool and work out quite a bit and then lift and everything else and do whatever I could do. And just being with the guys in the training room and just guys like Gabe and Dino and there's special people in that building and players as well. And just, I think sometimes we go through as players, we're so competitive, we always want to be out there, but there's so many things to learn even when you're down and

out for a bit. And so I was able to learn the guys a lot. I think my favorite part of the season was just the whole offensive dinners, taking the guys out every Thursday and watching Thursday night football and just laughing and having a good time and just breaking bread together. So those moments, I think even when I was injured just being able to grasp, you know Playbook and you grasp the time with the guys and then still finding my work in the day, you know Even if I was hobbling around the first couple of days, it's like, okay, let's let's still work

We were never not doing something and I think that's kind of always been my mentality of the process Yeah getting better every day. That's Russell Wilson, buddy. That's. I want to let you know that is part of your brand. Because remember we heard the flight. You did the high knees during the flight over to England. Remember? You know, listen, I think every player in the national football league, any EBA guy, they're always moving on the plane. I think they drew that out of proportion.

Oh, no! What? No! I heard you were, ha ha ha ha ha. Maybe not that much movement, but you know close to it. But I think that uh you know I think it's part of uh being a pro is always you know you know being able to move and keep your body fluid especially you know on a 10 hour flight. But you know it's all right I'll take the memes out of my mind. You know. You know what I mean? You did get murdered. I mean, you got murdered for that one. That one, that one was a murder scene. Yeah. But it's all like for good re, works too hard.

Yeah, exactly. Cares too much. You know, and I think everybody just assumes it's fake. You know, I think same thing happened with Tim Tebow. Yeah. Like we met Tim Tebow and I was in the era of Tim Tebow. I think we all kind of were. And it was like, there's no way this is who this guy is.

There's no way this is is how how they're portraying I don't think it's your fault that the entire world portrays you in one particular way and media and everything pushes a lot of Shit that you do just like I didn't think it was Tim Tebow's fault that everybody was pushing it But in everybody's natural reaction is this can't be how this person is then we meet Tim Tebow and was like I'll be damn Yeah This guy this guy's really like that Is that kind of you think how people because I feel like the image in which we have of you works too hard cares too much Always they're always ready preparing all the time like everything that is projected publicly about you once again not your fault This is how they're talking about an NFL quarterback. Who's very good his job is like perfect human

Is it hard to kind of live up to the hype of like a guy who's like a perfect NFL quarterback and has that weight on you at all throughout the entire process of your celebrity and fame in this entire thing? I think that you know every you know um you know whenever you're trying to be great at anything I think there's a process I think it goes through this whole process where you're kind of starting out with a third round pick semi-fithic overall I had to do everything I could possibly could to be great. I had to do everything I could possibly could to be great I had to do everything I could to to be on my stuff you know at the time there wasn't that many african-american quarterbacks that definitely one made short quarterbacks in the league at the time there was only a few of us at the time and you know I

there felt like there's a responsibility for me to play the game and process and do things at the highest level and to also try to continue to create opportunities that others had created for me. I think that's a big thing to me, it matters to me, and how we go about how we become a professional and how you learn from others. I remember guys like Leon Washington that I got to learn from and how he processed and how he took care of his body and how he took care of his body how he took care of his mind and it was a it was a 365 24 7 thing and it was not it was an obsession with it and I I got to be around some greats that did that and that mattered to me and it always has mattered to me my dad my

brother they showed me that and that was important to me but I think a big part of it too is is that I think anytime you're you're um I'm a positive guy by nature. I think that's me. I try to be uplifting. I try to speak life into every situation. I always say that it says in the Bible that the power of life and death is in the tongue. So what you say matters how you impact others, how you encourage. When I walk into a room, I want to speak life into every situation.

When I'm on the field and we're down in 21, nothing and a half, can we come back? Let's go. Here's how we do it. It just, that's who I am. And I'm not going to change for anybody because that's who God created me to be. But I think a big part of it too is also understanding that, you know, I think just being consistent in who you are, no matter how you are, no matter what you go about it. I think that's that's an important thing that people can trust and believe in and I think so for me you know when my dad was on his deathbed you know you know I think a lot of it for me was understanding that you know when he passed away I remember the next morning just kind of hearing that you know the sun still comes up in the morning and that was that kind of changed my perspective of life in a big way,

because I knew that, you know, no matter what we go through in life, we all go through challenges, we go through, you know, circumstances and everything, we have the obligation opportunity, especially when you got, you know, the football in your hand, you're one of 32 guys in the world, why would I be any other way? You know, why would I be negative? Why would I bring others down? I just want to lift other people up. And I think that's something that I really take pride in. And it matters to me to do that. And I think God's given me a gift to play the game of football.

He's given me big hands and ability for a moon ball, you know, and try to punt it, throw it high as high and possible as you punt in the air. But it matters to me. And I think that's just the obligation that I have to the game. Yeah, I think you should take pride in that brother. Hey, that was beautiful.

Hell yeah. That was absolutely beautiful. We need more yous in the world, not less of you. And I think all anybody wants anybody to be, especially who's in a public position is be who you say you are. You know, we just heard Terry McLoran say that to his teammates before they went and upset the Lions. Be who you say you are. I we just heard Terry McLaurin say that to his teammates before they wouldn't upset the Lions Be who you say you are I think you have done that and I think some people just find it hard to believe because there's

Not a lot of use out there brother and on that point. I think I heard that on Monday You and Sierra were literally in LA. I think given diapers to babies and stuff like that after the fires It's like you talk about 24 seven, 365 being a professional. It feels like you and your family, 24 seven, 365, try to like make the most of everything and try to do everything. Thank you for doing this legitimately. And what was the group you were working with on Monday?

Yeah, you know, it's been really cool. You know, Sarah's on the board of baby to baby. And we wanted to make a difference in LA. Obviously everything has been so sad. Yeah. Seeing so many people lose their homes. You know, you, you know, we think about it, you know, you come home and it's where you bring your baby home, your first time, it's where, you know, life happens, this and that, and you know, all the memories that people share, share and cherish, a lot of those are lost and, you know, it's hard to get, ever get that back. And so, you know, for me, it was so for me and C was just really

just trying to make a difference. Our youngest daughter, Sienna, not our youngest daughter, but our young daughter Sienna, she's seven. And she was like, let's make a difference. And we really wanted to. And so we all kind of got together, me and Sierra and Sienna in the future, we all drove up to LA and just we partnered up with Baby to Baby and our foundation does a lot of stuff with them too. We wanted to do more with them and so it's been a cool process and what they're doing Baby to Baby is really, really amazing. They're doing some really, really cool things and so what we were able to do was just go

into a warehouse, pack a bunch of stuff, a bunch of things for survival kits essentially in a way for people and just there are so many great individuals and so much great leadership with baby the baby and you know we're excited with our foundation to be able to do more stuff with them hopefully why don't you foundation and stuff but and then you know I did this real cool thing with fanatics I'm excited about too that you know the fanatics seemed to I got to meet this guy who his son plays tight in for a cow and just a really really good afric good African-American dude who's tall. They fight. The dad's like six, seven. I don't know how big he is,

but got to meet him and he surprised him with fanatics and gave him a Steelers Jersey. He's a huge Steelers fan. He lost a lot of his memorabilia and the fires. And so I gave him a Steelers Jersey and then, and then his son, we're doing something pretty cool where he's going to get his own like trading card and we're gonna try to raise money around that stuff So that was really cool, too But just like I think that it's something different and everybody coming together. Yeah, hey shot the Ruben too. Let's go I like that. Let's focus on that. Let's focus on that

And Ross, thank you for making the world a better place, man. And thank you for waking up every day trying to be a positive influence on it. Because I know you get shit on a lot because of it. So the fact that you just in the face of all that continue to do that, it's a beautiful thing. And I asked Rich Paul this, I asked Travis this, I'll ask you this. Are you helping write any songs? Are we... No, I'm staying away ask you this. Are you hoping to write any songs or are we? No, I'm staying away from songs. Smart, smart, smart.

I see you dancing though. I see you dancing every once in a while in there. I don't know if you're gonna give any. Yeah, after we beat the commanders, I hit them with the, I think it was AB. Oh, put that shit on. Okay, we appreciate you. Ladies and gentlemen, future hall of famer,

Russell Wilson. Hey, Russ. That was cool of him. Yeah. That was a long time. I don't think you're supposed to be on that time. That was awesome. Good dude. That answer was incredible.

Yeah, I had to get to it somehow. I didn't know how we were gonna get there, but at some point we had to be up like, hey, nobody thinks you are, basically. And him giving that answer, I just choose, you know? And when my dad was on his deathbed, he said, hey, son's gonna come up or whatever. It's like, I mean, I guess he has reason it's good mess yeah this guy perspective yeah

legit and they said the power of the tongue which I had heard that be said before but it is interesting how you say things oh yeah what you say when you choose to say things so powerful in other people's lives and your life in the world that we're in right now absolutely man so in everything he said especially that answer, everybody should live that way. Because when you talk about even your own life, your own life, whatever situation you got going on,

the more negatively you speak about it, more likely it's gonna start to go that way. Wake up, hey, it's gonna be a good thing. Lucky to be here. Say something nice to somebody, might change your life. Like, that's some real shit. Be a friend, tell a friend something nice

that might change your life. It might change the direction of everything. There was a documentary, I think, I on Netflix about how like actually putting out positive vibes scientifically in return you should be able to yeah I think that was it or whatever. I couldn't make it all the way through you know because I'm like all right because I do try to be as positive as possible but when there's like it's a scientific proof that it was in there I'm like all right I don't need to watch the next hour. I heard what you said. That's all believe you. It's in the Bible I believe you I'm gonna move forward What an interesting time to be alive shots Russell listen tone real quick

Yeah, we got 30 seconds you want him back at the Steelers or how's Pittsburgh feel? It feels like the tea leaves are leaning towards Justin But I know I think the second year under Russ would be good Like we talked about it with Arthur and all those weapons No, I wouldn't mind Russ back and think, you know, he was saying like, you know, I didn't get training camp here. Yeah. Give me two years with Arthur, three years here.

We can really get moving. Sounds like he loved his time. I loved that he stopped by. Calling all sellers. Salesforce is hiring account executives to join us on the cutting edge of technology.

Based on the acclaimed novel, Night Bitch is a thought-provoking and wickedly humorous film from Searchlight Pictures. Stream Night Bitch January 24 only on Disney Plus. It's wonderful, we're lucky to talk about it every single day. We just got done chatting with Russell Wilson for the first time. I saw him one time outside of Super Bowl Radio Row during COVID. So there was a lot of social distancing going on. He made it a point to break

through the group of people that were kind of separating him from the group of people that were separating us while we were walking, you know, don't look at each other, don't know each other, don't breathe the same air. Nobody, two mess, eyes down wear a hat to the fucking hair follicles can cover it Don't let the hair follicles cover it. Okay, the whole thing. That's what it was, especially Russell Wilson I think at the time he was up for some word of probably Walter Payne whatever it was in LA There is yeah, he was winning Walter Payne. So we're doing this entire thing. He sees through he is not the tallest guy Certainly tall in real life, but in football, you know, vastly different.

Looks through, breaks through, shakes hand, shakes Foxy's hand, I believe. Chit chats with us quickly about our show. And then I tell him like, hey, we're gonna put a request in at some point for you to come on the show. Feel free to turn us down. Like it is completely, people turn us down all the time.

We don't hate you if you turn it down. It's all good. We understand how it all goes. He goes, we'd love to get on and catch up or whatever and then has been able to happen. And then now boom, we have him on. That was a great conversation. I'm thankful he stopped by.

I think he talked about a lot of things that a lot of people have questions about. Didn't ask about Mr. Unlimited. But I think he addressed it in one of his answers. Somewhere in there, at least at some point. And we're appreciative of him. Talks to Tim was here at Boss Conner at Ty Schmidt. Could certainly let your jokes fly about Russell Wilson over the

time. I think you did a great job sitting in the pocket right there. Without a doubt and I certainly have let my jokes fly about Russell Wilson several times in the past but it is like you I mean you hit the nail on the head with the Tim Tebow stuff like when we first met him at Radio Row like that it's just it's very easy to be like this guy's full of shit. There's no way any human being could be like this all the time. But there are a handful of people in the world that what you see is what you get like legitimately at all times. Tebow is that way. And it's pretty evident to see that Russell Wilson is probably that way because it like you said too like it'd be very easy to just turn negative when

you're doing all these good things for people and like being a very positive impact on our world and You just immediately get shit for it. Like people just this guy sucks. He's full of shit That's not real and he just continues to do it and continues to show up and then the football the football stuff is secondary like, you know, like you said, he's going to be a first ballot hall of famer probably, but anymore it's just like, he just gets killed for how he plays, whether it's good, whether it's bad. Like very few people are indifferent about Russell Wilson. And over the last several years, it seems like he's become more of a punch line

than he probably deserves to be. Well, and then he, he had a couple of lines in there and told him, uh, he's okay. Not remembering the Denver times. Sure. Then he, there's a a couple lines in there and told him, he's okay not remembering the Denver Times. Sure, no doubt. And then there's a couple of things in there. I think he was eluding, I think he puts massive respect on people that show up early.

Mm-hmm. Because multiple times when he was complimenting somebody, guy gets in there early, this guy gets in there early. Because I think those super, I assume, Russell Wilson falls into this category, those super high operating humans. Yeah. You know, there's some of them billionaires

that are nocturnal. Those are more the artists, creatives, we're over that. The high operating business people, normally early alarm clock. And they don't mind telling you about it too. And their schedules are every day, this is what we do, boom, boom, boom.

You can tell that Russell Wilson puts high respect on the people that have that it because People that do that. I think there's other traits that are about them. Okay. These are very well organized very thoughtful We're very all no stone unturned very focused very body like that's how those people view it And it only is why I know that is because I'm not one of those people and I get to do business with those people And whenever they send over a time for us to talk and I respond ha ha How about 1 30 a.m. Instead, you know whenever they're doing that number I've tried to joust, you know with these people a little bit

But they very much believe in the waking up an hour and a half two hours earlier than every other person on earth You have now you have a 20 hour day or an 18 hour 19 hour day for everybody else has this thing Russell Wilson once again is who he says he is every single day. He did not talk about Denver at all in there. No he didn't understandably so. So Sean Sean gets there late. Sean is Sean a night guy? He must be. Well yeah. Sound like it a few times. He must be and I think Nate Hackett he'd get in there at 3 30 but then he was playing Minesweeper for four hours. It wasn't really. Nine here at NFL bet. Terry J. Butler is here.

D-Bunch. How you doing, man? Obviously, Minesweeper is breaking. You get lost in there too. You can start really start clicking. You know, whenever they have the number, I was in, that was a good game. It was. Tough enough, but also easy enough if you wanted it to be.

Yes. Yeah, it was a good game. Felt like a genius too whenever you beat it. Oh yeah. Like I'm so smart, I can fucking lead a war. Yeah. If I had to do that entirely. So maybe Hackett did think that was a good part

about getting better. What did you learn there from Russell Wilson? He is who he says he is. I think so. Yeah, you know, and you can see why, you know, a lot of people obviously shit on him, you know, for the most recent years of his career, but he's had a long Very very very good career from the beginning like he came out with the Andrew Luck and the RG 3 class

But he went to the division around as a rookie He you know threw a bunch of touchdowns he had a great defense had a good running game But he fit right into that culture and as you mentioned usually when you bring a free agent over you pay him Like you're gonna at least give that guy that year and for him to win that job as a rookie and just kind of taking, you know, obviously he has a chip on the shoulder, he has a hell of a perspective on life.

So I became a bigger fan of Russell Wilson after the day for sure. Here's some stats that we pulled before he came on. Career passing yards, over 40,000. Touchdown passes, he has over 300 career passing touchdown. He currently ranks fifth all-time in career passer rating He has over 5,000 career rushing yards over 20 career rushing touchdowns nine playoff wins including a Super Bowl obviously

25 postseason passing touchdowns plus and then obviously He won a Super Bowl in a 43 8 win over the Denver Broncos. It's like has had a pretty good career Yeah, Peyton Manning Denver Broncos. Yeah, and that was whenever the Legion of Boom knew all the signals. Yes Locked in yeah locked. They knew exactly what was coming for every single play What a genius performance by that Seattle Seahawks defense, which is a big part of the conversation About the Seahawks in total who goes where who stays who's getting treatment who's not getting treatment so him saying that whenever Pete Carroll gets like oh and they all go back and they're hanging out that's beautiful thing to hear because you guys were a fun team to watch over here

that was a fun team to watch all together 12-year NFL vet Super Bowl champion AQ Shipley is here. AQ I know you wanted us to chit chat about some of his offensive linemen feels like the time kind of got away from it but he takes the boys out every Thursday night. I learned something from that as well. That was cool to hear. I mean, we've heard so many stories of him not being one of the guys and the fact that he took the boys out to dinner. That's a, that's a staple deal. That is a staple of quarterbacks and O lineman getting together Thursday night, eating, watching the game.

That's a pretty cool deal. Some of the O lineman are boozing. Sure. Why? Yeah, some of them are. You know, because we know the quarterbacks got the credit card here too credit card here to yeah, this isn't a credit card roulette situation This is a one guy's doing this whole thing. So yeah, we'll have that What that double jackie, that's right. Thank you so much. You got that 32 on gentlemen. You guys got Louie

You don't have Louie here. All right. Normally I drink Louis 13th. Normally. Yeah, but I guess I'll just do Jack here I guess yes, he is this gentleman is this gentleman Jack here and then some of the boys have a good time They start talking about families things are talking about other things. That's where the camaraderie really grows That's where I'm not having a half a season basically or five six games Whatever it was because Justin Fields was playing so well and they were winning games and then him not having training camp because of the sled Push thing. It's like I feel like he feels like they probably stumbled out of the gates and get a full opportunity. He's free agent, we'll see how it goes.

Joining us now ladies and gentlemen is a man who just won national championship. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, a guy who has a tree on the Ohio State University campus. The all time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl champion, AJ Hawker. Yeah. Hawker, how you doing buddy? I'm doing great. I appreciate it, but I did not win a national championship.

I did nothing for, you know, anything on the field. I just supported from the sidelines like all the great fans. The coaches and the boys. The coaches and the boys won, but you guys, you won. You won the national championship. You're a buck, man. Oh yeah, I say we for Ohio State, of course. Yeah, win or lose, I say we. Okay, so you won the national championship. We did it. I say we for our state. Of course. Yeah win or lose. I say we okay. So you

You won. We did it. Yeah, we did it. Boom. What did you do? We won a national championship Entire thing how is the state of Ohio is it uh, everybody feeling a little bit lifted Is everybody kind of just hovering around is everybody feeling alive over there in the Buckeye State? Yeah, it does seem like people are pretty excited. I think I believe the national championship trophy is is on display for two or three hours at a local grocery store somewhere right now. I think it's happening. Yeah, people are excited. I think they're gonna eventually have some kind of celebration for him. Hopefully it gets above, you know, zero outside so people

can enjoy it. But yeah, things are good here.. Okay so parade, would there be a parade for these types of things? I don't think I know how college ball works. In Ohio feels like this is a paradeable situation especially because they're set up in town is already kind of a parade route whenever the players walk to the field and everything like that. But it's so damn cold that's probably holding things up. No I mean I think they're just getting things set up. I don't think there's a parade. There may be a parade.

I know at least after my freshman year, we won the national championship. We had a huge thing at the stadium where basically almost probably 85,000 people showed up in negative 20 degree weather for us to, you know, walk around the stage and see Grant, a great linebacker, who was his backup. He sang Carmen Ohio.

It was a special moment. I would assume it's something like that at the stadium, but I honestly have no idea Okay, and don't you guys do the skull sessions or whatever in the arena right near there? Yeah, st. John arena the old basketball arena. It's awesome place, but that doesn't see enough people man I think that's only like five six thousand. Okay, so there is gonna be so is that normal for national championships? I don't think I fully know what I think right? What other team what did Michigan do last year? Do they do anything right if they did buses through Ann Arbor? I don't I don't think parades are that guy

That's what I just know was either you do it in the stadium or they do it in like the basketball arena But people do it in the stadium. I don't think I I could see dude in the basketball arena The the main the Schottenstein Center the main basketball arena seats like 18 you could do it there Yeah, but I'm saying is it normal for college national champions to do a ceremony i think so there's like a celebration yeah okay sweet i think michigan well that's the thing is that michigan did a parade i'm getting um from the back yeah they went through town okay that'd be sweet a lot of time that is a sick shot with those buildings look oh you can tell you're on a university campus. Kind of old school. Yeah, like I don't think that's super common. Like a parade. Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah,

because Super Bowl you just parade is happening. Yeah. Parade is happening. Then there's a stage at the end. National championship. I don't think I know what is, I guess this would be it. Okay, so Ohio State, we assume we'll do something big, even though it's cold as shit. Colder than it's been in a long time. Hey, they got snow down there in a bayou, like real storm. Real snow down there. That's what it is. You just wait for it to melt, I guess.

Yeah, there's no way they're prepared. I mean, this is obviously the home of Super Bowl in two and a half weeks right now. And there's no way they have anywhere near the amount of salt or plows or anything that you would need for an actual snowstorm to come through there, because why would anybody clear a budget that has All of that shit in it whenever it very very rarely would ever happen

And it's like we got snow there cold there this year cold here. It's like what's going on Is this just an abnormal winter global warming? You don't believe in that global warming More was dcaq You don't believe in that. But warm. More. I was DC, AQ. Do you have any other? Do you have any other sentences or is that just? No, it's just what I've heard. That's what I've been reading.

Okay, so you see that and then you just period. You don't do any more research? No, that's it. Al Gore. Okay, well thank you for doing that. Of course. Thank you, AQ. AJ did have a question about Monday.

We didn't see you down at the National Championship. What was that, Edge? Yeah, were you? I thought I saw some clips of you on a you. Thank you. AJ did have a question about Monday. We didn't see you down at the National Championship. What was that, Edge? I thought I saw some clips of you on a bus with Logan Paul, Theo Vaughn and those guys. No, I didn't make that bus. I didn't make that bus.

He was on Elon's telling him what to do on stage. Hey, here's a good hand brush. This is good autumn. Is that right? Is that what you were doing? Nope, I was at home with the kids. Kids were off school that day. I've watched that a few more times. He's popping up. I mean, I don't know how that's... I don't know if he was grabbing his heart.

It doesn't feel like he was throwing his heart from what you told me. Just so... I mean, the form is pretty... I mean, pretty... He's seen that form before. Yeah, that's what I'm... Back to back. That's a lot of... That was scary. He's a goober, they're saying.

Yeah, he's a goofball. He's been a billionaire like five times. You have to have some sort of awareness that that is something. You'd think. What if he shows up with a mustache? Yeah. It's gonna be like, yo, yo.

Home over? He's gonna be like, I didn't know. I didn't know. New haircut? I don't, that was wild. I'm telling you, the more I see it, I'm like, man, all right. Without sound, it's even more obviously,

where he's talking about thanking everybody and everything like that, but right without sound it's even more obviously but where you saw about thinking everybody everything like that, but I Don't know. All right. Let's talk about some breaking news in the NFL. I mean that was just like he's can't be doing it Some things you can't that feels like that thing everybody kind of knows and then boy they're matching up with some other videos They're like, but they're not saying my heart out to you in the Videos like okay, all right Agreed sure agree. They're not Boy that looks pretty everybody then yeah, I don't Yeah, then I see other photos of people. I'm like how many people have been doing it is a And then I start looking I see photos of me people put photos up of me a point somewhere

I see photos of me people put photos of a me a point somewhere Pointing over there. It's like whoa The Internet's gonna do with the Internet's gonna do but boy when you do that, I think he there's gonna be a reaction All right. KOC. Hey signed a multi-year blockbuster Extension with the Minnesota Vikings AJ Hawk now, what does blockbuster mean? We assume that means it's a big number The reports are that Ben Johnson sold for are signed for 13 sold. That's what the Lions have saying. Yeah, so Million a year allegedly for the Chicago Bears He's never been a head coach before obviously he's had multiple opportunities to become a head coach and he was the belle of the ball

But if the reports are accurate about him getting 13 million a year and never winning a game as a head coach and Kevin O'Connor was up for renegotiation and Kevin O'Connor has done a very good job with the Minnesota Vikings and obviously won a lot of games and his coaches ass off we assumed he was going to be worth a lot of money sounds like that is the case they'll also be turning their attention now to Quasey who's the general manager to give him an extension as well so status quo will remain in Minnesota which I think is a good thing because how successful they've been over the last couple years. Obviously question mark still remains about the future of the quarterback position. I assume they'll be able to figure that out and one of the reasons why they gave KOC this blockbuster deal is because he can make quarterbacks good is the expectation and a thought good for the Vikings I think AJ and the NFC North remains dominant it

appears for at least the foreseeable future yeah doesn't this feel like it had to be an absolute no-brainer I I would assume they paid him more than 13 mil guaranteed a year but look around like look at all the teams that are constantly going through coaches trying to find a good coach like we talk about a lot on this show like how difficult it really is to be a head coach in the NFL and to be successful with all the things KOC has had thrown at him with as far as like the quarterback situation the different quarterbacks that he's had in there and have looked really good in his scheme like I think would be crazy KOC does

seem like he is a mixture of a guy that will hold him accountable, but he's also that offensive guru genius type guy that can draw things up and get people open, but he also has control of the team. So yeah, I think absolute no brainer. You have to resign this guy. I heard Ty Schmidt poop his pants whenever this signing was announced.

Ain't that right? No, no you didn't. What? No, not really. What about Ben Johnson, the Chicago Bears? There's been videos now coming out of that particular building with Ben Johnson now leading the charge. One of my favorites, and I haven't heard him from today's press conference because it's been live, is whenever he walked in and addressed the entire building as this has become like the new and years and years and every department come out and give a round of applause. Well, Coach Ben Johnson addressed the Chicago Bears building for the first time yesterday.

Welcome, welcome, we love you. Everyone get back to work. Listen, thank you so much. My family and I, we are beyond excited. This is exactly where we wanted to be. This is exactly where we wanted to be. This is going to be a challenge. I am well aware of that. I know what this division's about. And this is exactly where we wanna be. We're gonna go after this thing, and it's gonna take all of us in this room,

it's gonna take this locker room. It's nothing more important than that locker room. And us serving that locker room and those players. All right, they need to understand that, they need to feel that from us every single day. And if we do that, the wins are gonna come. The playoffs are gonna come. All right, can't wait to get to know you guys.

And thank you so much for the warm welcome. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's gonna be a massive challenge. You guys know you've been here. This place kinda stinks. All right, thank you for the warm welcome

You've had to do a lot of these over the last 10 years, and I want to let you know It's all about that locker room right there mm-hmm Okay, and when the winds come and the playoffs come sales a lot easier Ticketing a lot easier sponsorship a lot easier parking a lot easier social media a lot easier hey Everybody's life gets a lot easier if we take care of that locker room right there. Okay, so that's all I'm saying. And this is where we wanted to be. That's where we wanted you to be.

Okay, it feels like it was a perfect start between the building and Ben Johnson's era. He had a press conference today, and you know, Lions fans were killing Ben Johnson for going to the Bears and seemingly potentially putting together a staff before the games were over for the Lions. And you know, Lions fans got creative like Boston Connor did the other day where he's

like, Ben Johnson's holding back plays so he can run more Caleb and not Jared. That's why they lose in the playoffs to the commanders. We don't think that's true. But he said he loved beating the floor twice a year. He said today, he said, I didn't mind beating the floor twice a year. That was a good time trying to win Lions fans back while also taking a shot at the rival Green Bay Packers for the Chicago Bears time. Yeah, see I appreciate that because he comes in and he understands that that rivalry does mean something but let's not I mean

Let's let's get two things straight here Okay, the Lions got their physicality and their toughness and their overall demeanor and attitude from Dan Campbell Thank you, and get it from fucking Ben John He can say that and I appreciate that but you know what Ryan Paul said when he first got introduced as the Bears new GM So we're gonna take the north We're never gonna get back and they've been hammered dogshit since he got there so you can say all that kind of stuff That's great. Hell they beat the Packers to close out the season I granted the Packers, you know in the second half played all their scrubs

and all the guys who probably aren't going to be on the team next year because they didn't have anything to play for going into the playoffs. Now, in hindsight, they should have probably played their starters, so they didn't look so bad going into the playoffs. Maybe it would have helped against Philadelphia. But you can say all this kind of stuff today, and Bears fans are, you know, just eating out of the palm of his hand. They love it. And they should.

They should because he understands how big of a deal it is but if you want to you know win the Super Bowl when you're not in the playoffs in January when you hire your coach and you're trying to figure out this thing for the 500th time in the last you know 30 years Fine by me. Congratulations. Yeah and enjoy it and they enjoy it And they did. Enjoy it. And they did. But I don't want to hear a goddamn thing when they start 0 and 5 next year. What? And Bears fans are saying it's like the fucking guy we hired. No. What the hell I didn't want this guy. No. I'm just saying.

They said that's where we wanted you to be in the video we heard it. Let's go to a Chicago Bears fan here. Zito, Ben Johnson, his rollout, his debut as a Chicago Bears coach Aside from the selfie video that they put on social I think has been awesome. Do you agree up there? Yeah, there's like the first time Chicago's all been the same page to like that never happens so like everyone legit like rooting for him the whole time and obviously there was like variable was obviously part of that as well, but and McCarthy but Ben Johnson is a absolute mastermind and I do believe that we will be beating the Packers two times this year Okay, okay. Sounds like he's making himself believe it sounds like he's trying to convince himself

And he was looking right he was looking straight, you know, I was watching Searching yeah, he was searching for something there. You know the confidence And that's what Ben Johnson's supposed to do that's how he should and I think that's why Chicago feels the way they do is like yeah we got the guy yeah he's saying all the right things I think it aside from that selfie on social media everything else he's saying the right things yeah saying the right things but just the demeanor I think you mentioned like when Mike variable came in we're not doing the wuss clapping it up you know hey let's make this guy feel good

Okay, cuz that guy's coming in feeling good. He knows what he's going to say everybody back to work if we were If we were to go back and look at who exactly Got clapped for when they walked in the building just a couple names come to mind ran car thon His ass got shit can't I think we could go through a few more. I don't know if they're still with him and to be completely honest, I've never seen Ben Johnson without a hat on. Yeah, me neither. That's first time. And now that I have, boy oh boy, I'm glad the Patriots got Mike Vance. What your bottle? I'm just saying. I'm just saying. He looked like a fool. He looked... I thought he sounded great. He also had that coaching stance with the hand.

Yeah. Okay, did one of these. Good leadership talk. I think he appreciated the banter there. A couple different times he was waiting for the team meeting. I thought he addressed the crowd well. I think we got a chance to look inside one of his meetings there, AJ. I have faith that Ben Johnson will be able to figure it out because you said you hadn't seen him without a hat. I don't think I've heard him talk. Yeah. That's my first time really hearing him talk there. I think he does have some leadership qualities, AJ. Yeah, he does. I mean, that's not an easy room to walk into

and try to come in the room. You guys have sucked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I give him credit. His kids didn't interrupt him and didn't pull on his arm and not tell him that they'd take a leak or something. Like that's something that's tough to do

if you're speaking with your kids right next to you. So I give him credit, him and his wife. But I mean, ultimately you got to ask the guys that played for him. Like I know the guys that I have talked to That have been on the lines like they honestly they have a lot of respect for this dude They think he could be a great head coach So that's all I can go off of when I have no personal interaction with the dude But yeah, can you can you lead a group of dudes into into you know?

Give them all one singular direction that they can all chase like can you be that guy? We'll see so he pointed at some of his players, allegedly in his press conference, Caleb and the boys, and said get comfortable being uncomfortable. I don't know the delivery, I don't know the tone, I don't know the phrase, but the tweet that I read said it was a good moment. It was a good moment between new coach and locker room. D, a bunch of early thoughts on the Ben Johnson regime up there in Chicago? I'm optimistic, you know, he chose this destination. There was obviously you would assume he had his pick of the litter with the teams. He chose his destination. He chose Caleb Williams. Now Ryan Poles is still there and the

things about the turnaround and what's going on in Minnesota and what's going on Detroit front office. You know, Brad Holmes has done a great job building in the draft and in free agency with Dan Campbell in the front office and Quessie what he's doing in Minnesota bringing in like guys like Cashman, Van Ginkle, Granada like those guys come in and instantly produce and help their team so those are the things they're gonna have to O-line running back because you have amazing weapons in Detroit and we all know coaches can look great when there's great players running their system and now you have a young

quarterback still trying to figure it out. You have good, talented players, but you gotta get those players to play and produce at a high, high level. So how he works with the front office and then obviously how he commands the team. We know he's a good play caller. So who's gonna be defensive coordinator?

How is he building the rest of his staff out? Who all did he bring with him down there? Do we know? Does he have an offensive line coach? No, I don't think they've named anybody yet, but I know Hank Fraley I think he wanted him but Hanks interview with Seattle he's the o-line coach in Detroit but he's interviewing with Seattle and probably I bet at the end of the day is

just using that as leverage to stay in Detroit yeah and then the other two that have been tied to him is Dennis Allen is DC and Rizzi is his special teams coordinator because he has history down in New Orleans and Rizzi's name still potentially up for the New Orleans Saints job because I'm more said coach I want rhymes a fizzy dog. Mm-hmm, and that would be Rizzi see go bars. Yeah nailed it and see even there wherever I pointed at a cue I was a little bit everybody's kind of on guard. Yeah. Yeah a little bit Yeah one finger But you're gone about three go four then bunch?

No, but I will say Rich Rodriguez told me one time whenever not me it was a team meeting. He said every time he pulled fingers somebody else There's three fucking pulling back at you never forget it. So whenever you blame somebody else There's actually you blame yourself in the process you might as well just do that at the beginning So I remembered like when it's definitely somebody else's fault throughout the rest of my life you go four fingers of a easy your fault I'm first down and careful and if I go from my heart I think it is in the delivery as well just a little bit more casual you know just a little bit more okay because I think it was like just the force in which it was it was like he snapped it he snapped it too hard practice rehearsed like this guy's got formed like you know whenever you see somebody salute the flag and you'll see like, yeah You'll see like the actuals like hey, those are the real thing

real deal real deal Appreciating I get it But whenever you see the person like snap it in it's like oh that's uh, oh, yeah, that's real deal right there That's that's what that one and I think it's all because of the The form yeah snap that down. I think it's what we of the the form yeah snap that down I think it's what we're all seeing on that video is like like the muscles have been where you're thinking like that's probably not the first one bingo yeah like the muscles have been but he said you know he said my heart goes out to

you that's what I know that's weird way it's wrong I know but that's what I that's what I've been bouncing back is that what he was really saying I didn't hear the audience his heart goes out to people but Not to people pass first row because if you're throwing like that, I don't know so far goes how far that's going Yeah, we talked yesterday. There's a lot of different ways to throw unless it was a frisbee shaped heart Yeah, you're right. Could've been frisbee That is I guess that no frisbees you throw that that underhand as well. Yeah, you throw it that way. You think he's got a snap? I don't think so.

Come on. He's got a snap in the- I guess yeah. In the bowl. Everybody's different. Nick did, Toro LaCow is different. Yeah, because you can- True.

You can bring it back here and throw it that way. Yeah, but there's also four- There's also- I could get, I got C in Frisbee in college. You gotta be good. I couldn't get that one. Yeah, Elon doesn't have that one. I thought we were watching this morning the final stone skipping comp on ESPN the Ocho

This is a Western Pennsylvania thing I think I think and we got video actually of the goat Kurt Steiner now. This is a big-time championship Skip of the stone now obvious The goal is to look cool and to skip shit out of a rock and the camera people have been Maybe the worst in the history of any sport Look at that 42 skips right there my god, both 42 skips right there from Kurt Steiner. Okay follow through he's from Erie, Pennsylvania Okay, which is obviously Western, Pennsylvania. There's a couple competitors from tiddi-oot in Franklin, Pennsylvania as well I believe this was hosted in Franklin, Pennsylvania as a

former rock skipper I believe this was hosted in Franklin, Pennsylvania as a former rock skipper Crick boy, I feel like I wish I would have found out about this. Let's go to hammer dad Town I think our street in general with the cricks, you know Cuz hilly town and where I was on the street. It was the bottom of all the hills So there's creeks, you know, there's a lot of them So easy thing to do if you got shit to do is just we're skipping rocks now finding the rocks a big deal these guys are allowed to bring their

own rocks to the skipping competition so they're finding these rocks curing these rocks probably rocks in this entire thing tone I think we could have kept up with these guys whenever we were younger as we were watching it this morning on ESPNEO show yeah I mean we're cut from the same cloth. We cut our teeth in the same region there, skipping rocks. So I don't think there's any reason to believe we couldn't. And you know, we were river kids and everyone knows the river rock is much better than a lake rock

as far as skipping is concerned. And I was actually thinking this morning as I was watching, I was like, I probably throw the way that I do because of skipping rocks. And that's probably why the pop time was so proficient back in the day. So yeah, I think we could easily. yeah, cuz you gotta take that thing here Yeah

You gotta take that thing here cuz you're trying to get as low as the water and that first skip is a very important skip The camera person has never seen somebody's gift and then they watch 50 people do it and they still had no idea They thought that first skip they were zooming in every hole the rock one straight The first skip is just like to get that thing going a little bit And they just whoop. I let's keep, you know, every time it got distracted. But I appreciate all the stone skippers out there. Good work.

Keep it going. Joining us now is a man who I think would be a terrible stone skipper. No doubt. I don't think you can be six foot six and be a good stone skipper. I think it's gonna be tough, unless you got those arms that potentially orangutan

down to your ankles. Randy Johnson. Yeah, like Brock Lesnar is probably the greatest Because his hands actually go all the way down to the doubles. So it's just he's really just side or minute ladies gentlemen future first ballot hall favor member of the Bull Ring of Honor down there for the AFC South champions Houston Texans ladies gentlemen JJ walk champions, Houston Texans. Ladies and gentlemen, JJ Wall. Yay! JJ! What is that?

What's up, guys? Oh, cool. Got an Umbro kit on right now? What is that? Who is it? What is that for? Swimpee? Yeah, we got a Burnley mask coming up

in about an hour and a half. 1980 retro kit here. We played Plymouth Argyle at 2 p.m. Central time. So, you know, the whites normally look terrible in yellow. You look very good there. Phenomenal. You look very good in that. Great church.

Seems to be a lot of conversation around that topic in that Thunderdome today there. But I appreciate it. I look good in yellow. I look good in yellow. We're talking about the way to throw a heart. Is that what you're talking about? We played Plymouth Argyle today.

Fun fact. They're good. Home of the Mayflower. Home of the Mayflower. Home of the Mayflower. Oh really? Wow. That's right. I love that Plymouth Argyles.

They come out three, five, one, they're ready to go. Right, three, five, two, they're ready to go out there. Plymouth Rock. Yeah, cause that's up there. Where they landed. Yeah. Named after. In old mass.

Yeah. In New England. In Old Mass. Yeah. In New England. Pilgrims. Where America was invented, some would say. Away from Old England. Yeah, that's right. Which is where this lad is an owner of. Are you guys wearing those tarps?

You bring those back. Do you do merch stuff? Do you do other journeys to make a buck? No, I just, I got a bunch of old retros in my closet. Also looking at some stuff in the future. I personally love this old school crest and I I would like I just love it I would love some incorporation so anytime I get a chance to wear it I enjoy it what do you think do you like it I like to never wear that me personally the way I am

built to never wear that I think yellows time where a lot of stuff though you wear a lot of stuff you look good and you'll see me in dark colors because the way I am built yellow would be a tough one for me Yellow would be a tough one for me But I played for the Colts and we wore white Spanx on primetime on a regular basis. That wasn't great for me either You know, so punters really hate the all-white because like they're hated the all-white Yeah Your belly button looks like a coat lineman cradle. I'm gonna hold on you're at you weren't big. What are you talking about?

Yeah, exactly, but the white Spanx certainly say every I mean we're wearing we were only fans and out there. This is an actually interesting question. I'm very curious to hear the answer you D, but did you ever wear any jersey besides the home in a way of the Indianapolis Colts? Did they ever do an alternate? I think we did one time. We moved the stripes from like here to here and then we had a different helmet one time. Color Rush? I think we did white. I don't think Color Rush came in until like 17, 18 right?

We had a Thursday night Color Rush for sure at home. I guess the Broncos. I think all blue. What was your color rush? Oh That's a helmet the different helmet boys of summer was that 17? No, that's Indiana night Because she grew up disaster whoa, please Your uniforms are playing for another team. Okay, so I don't want to hear you all Yeah, yours were sitting on the couch. So all right. All right But you're a great I do like your main uniforms. They're good. They're iconic. You don't mess with an icon That's I think that's part of the reason why Indiana Knights didn't work that well Hey because they weren't designed that great but be because you're your normal

We're good playing see it was a one o'clock game because Colts had no night game. So there was a lot, there was a lot that goes into it. But I do believe the family that owns the Colts take great pride in the tradition of the uniform and the logo and everything like that. Anyways, I'm happy to hear you're not an owner that's super duper greedy and just tries to turn out an alternate jersey

just to get a few bucks, you know, just to get a few bucks. Cause why would you want to do that for Berger? You know, why would you want to, why would you want to get a few bucks. You know, just to get a few bucks. Cause why would you want to do that for Berland? You know, why would you want to, why would you want to get a few more bucks? Maybe sign some free agents, keep that goalie. Keep that goalie who's a real, hey, he's a real deal. He's gonna be, he's a guy, isn't he? He's a dog. He's a dog.

He will be the number one for England at some point. He is a dog. He's gonna be very expensive for you. So maybe we start selling these yellow jerseys. Maybe we start doing some business out there. Go ahead, Common. He's gonna have to play for the Bengals. Yeah, wasn't that the deal between you and the goalie? I've seen it on the internet. It was the deal. We were, I was literally just, we were just joking around. He's a big Bengals fan so we were messing around and he said, how about you come out of, this was before the Bengals

played the Steelers, so he was trying to round me up a little bit. He said, how about you come out of retirement and was before the Bengals played the Steelers. So he was trying to round me up a little bit. He said, how about you come out of retirement and play for the Bengals? And I said, well, if you don't allow a goal the rest of the year, then I'll do it. It's a deal. And we have played five games since then. He has allowed zero goals and he saved two penalties in 10 minutes in the last game. So he took it very seriously after after three games I messaged him I said hey you're taking this a little too

serious. He messaged me and he said how do you eat a whale one bite at a time and then after this pass game I said all right now you're getting real serious he said I want this pretty bad man so it's it's heating up a little bit we still got 18 games left. Oh, okay So that's a lot, you know, we're nowhere near it, you know, we're nowhere near the end But hey, how do you eat a whale? You don't tell him Do you tell him you don't want a guy be on your team that eats whales? But nonetheless, this is a kennedy guy What's that?

This is a bobby kennedy guy. That's true. The whales do gluten-free. Remember they put it on Yeah Remember he took a chainsaw and sliced the whale's head off and then put it on top of his car driving back from the beach. Yeah. You remember this? No. Oh, yeah. Yeah. True story. True story. Yeah, yeah. He drove on top of his whale's head. Tell it. Tell it. Tell it. I'm okay. I'm gonna lift this up. How about you? I'm excited to look this up. I don't remember this story at all.

Beached whale. He said we to get this thing out of here Go grab my chainsaw slice head off put it on top of his car like luggage back in the day and tied it on Yeah, his daughter told the whole story. Yeah, that's actually what happened Here we go both RFK jr. Being investigated for decapitating a whale and driving across a line Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's real, hey, hey, we're just letting you know.

Yeah. Newspaper report, the journalist report. We didn't create this report. No. No, it was actually out there. I didn't, that one, I must've missed that one. Yeah, yeah. That was middle of the season there, September 15th,

2024, whenever they were out to get everybody. Oh yeah. Was Aaron almost the vice president this time? Yeah, yeah, that was right then, yeah, yeah. It's amazing what they find out during those times. All right, anyways, I don't know, you're right. I don't know what Bob did. Maybe he thinks it's healthy,

but I don't think that's gonna become a cuisine for anybody. But if he goes, you have to play for him too, right? This is kind of a thing. Like you would have to play for the bank. Oh, if he does this, I will do it. Yeah, definitely. Holy shit. Put it on a seat, Geek Ticker.

Jade's potentially back. He said this past season was the last time. This is the last time anybody would do it. Yeah, definitely. Holy shit. Put it on a seat, Geek Ticker. Jade's potentially back. He said this past season was the last time. This is the last time anybody will do it. But that defense, they lose their defense coordinator, Lou Anne Arumo now defense coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts. Ben Johnson, now the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Pete Carroll's name is being linked

to the Las Vegas Raiders now. Allegedly Tom Brady's running that whole thing too, over there, Tom Brady's running that entire thing. Saints don't have a coach. Jacksonville Jaguars don't have a coach. Aaron Glenn potentially going to the Jets, but they're saying he's also maybe going to the Saints who aren't able to do in-person interviews for a few days because of snowstorm. Which one of those storylines is most intriguing to you? Jacksonville Jaguars potentially bringing Sala back. I think Sala was down there as a coach at one point, knows the Cotton family well, right? That's correct. He was a linebackers coach down there for a while. He's probably gonna get that and have a guy.

Okay, so maybe Salah goes down to Jacksonville, which hasn't really been chatted about. Liam Cohen just signed an extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, allegedly going to $4.5 million a year as a coordinator pulling his name from the Jacksonville Jaguar job. Which one of those stories you think is most intriguing that Ben Johnson in Chicago, does that change anything? Aaron Glenn, if he goes to the Jets, does that change anything? Like which one do you think we should pay? Pete Kerrigan back. Which one do you like the most that is kind of being lingered right now or I've already happened? I got a few thoughts. I got a few thoughts on the coaching situations right now. I think a Chicago has to be excited Obviously, we have no idea what's going to happen But it feels like they got the number one hot ticket guy of this coaching carousel

And that seems like a change from the past in my opinion I mean unless there's something that I'm forgetting or missing here. This seems like Holy shit, the Bears actually got the guy they have the young quarterback they have you know some of those pieces that you feel like you add a great coach to it and They have a chance to flourish. So if I'm a Bears fan, I'm sitting there extremely excited right now Obviously a long way to go. We'll see what happens but Overall with this coaching circuit I think it's partially to do with the rule changes for when you can do your

interviews, but it does seem like it's taking a little bit longer than coaching carousels normally take to fill out. And it also feels like coaches are being much more selective in how they are going about teams. It's not just can I get a head coaching job, it's I wanna land in the right situation with the right quarterback, with the right GM, with the right organizational structure. I do think that's starting to play into effect more where head coaches aren't just like,

I'll take any job just to become a head coach because they're starting to see that if you get in the wrong situation with the wrong ownership or the wrong team or the wrong makeup or the salary cap, you could be one and done and that could ruin your only shot. Yeah but you get a guaranteed contract you know there's always a fine balance and I'm intrigued to see what Cliff Kingsbury decides to do because he says not doing any interviews until their run is over. Ben Johnson you

know he didn't do didn't sign on to be the coach of the Chicago Bears until immediately after the Lions lose then the Lions fans got all pissed off. Lions fans yeah basically kicked them out the door. Hey thanks for nothing bud you brought us back to real prominence and relevancy and number one seed in the NFC and our offense was electrifying to watch. Going to a game was so much fun we're obviously scoring more than the other team great haven't done that in a long time. Yeah but the way we were scoring was explosive and you brought the best out of a lot of people that we haven't had without being said he went to Chicago Bears You're trying to put a staff together. Go fuck yourself. That is what a lot of people in Detroit were saying, right?

That's what everyone's saying. I still don't understand it because we still have MC DC. We still have Jared golf We still have that incredible weapons around him. We still have a great defense We still have so many pieces were the back-to-back NFC North champions So I personally am not afraid of Ben Johnson, but it sounds like a lot of Lions fans are afraid and they're deflecting. Oh, okay. I liked your Conan afraid as opposed to just mad. What are your thoughts on this particular situation with Ben Johnson and Detroit Lions and now the Chicago Bears? I can understand being disappointed that your great offensive coordinator is gone and the

fun football that you've been watching Now you have to hope it keeps happening, but I don't understand the anger I don't understand like this this why is he taking this job like you get a chance to be a head coach in a national football league this is a chance that you dream about from the day you start coaching and You should be happy for him because that means your team has been successful You know there's other teams out there who are complaining that their coaches have never had coordinators hired to be head coaches other places. You have both of your coordinators looking at other jobs and being the two top candidates in the entire coaching carousel. That means you're doing something right. That means you have a great

organization. That means everything is going well where you are. And that also means that your head coach picked those two guys So maybe you should trust him that he's gonna pick two more great guys and fill in those roles So I don't think there needs to be all this fury be happy for him I have a feeling a lot of players in that locker room are happy for him because he made them look great and play great And they also know how hard he worked and how big of a dream this is for him So I just I don't understand the like extreme anger about a man. It's cuz it's in the division It's in the division and he immediately he's been talking to Dennis Allen about joining his staff

So the Lions fans are like whoa, whoa, whoa, I thought we're paying attention to winning games or whatever Kingsbury said like hey I'm not gonna even entertain any of those till after and then they win and he's the OC of the other team Yeah, and I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to keep making points to debunk the Detroit's anger. Like, Cliff Kingsbury has already been a head coach. He's already got a head coach in guaranteed contract. He's still getting paid off. Ben Johnson's never been a head coach before. So, Ben Johnson, not just in the last four days before the Commander's Lions game,

has reached out to people to say, hey, would you join me? This has been happening probably for years. Exactly, and he's earned this right. Didn't they put up like 500 yards of offense too in this last game. Yeah. But he was saving plays for Caleb, wasn't he? Yeah. That's kind of the word on the street. Yeah. That JMo pic he dialed out. See how much nonsense this is. This is why I don't understand why Lyons fans are upset. It makes no sense.

They're acting like this has never happened in the NFL before. It happens all the time. I think it makes a ton of sense. How often do you guys go? That's why. If you want to be mad at the Bears head coach and you want to say, I don't like the Bears head coach because I'm a Detroit Lions fan, that's fine. But to be mad at him, the coordinator for leaving your team,

that I don't understand. Okay, well fans can do fan stuff. I'll tell you what, the Lions expectations are really high now. Are you gonna be able to do it without OC and DC that have led you to this prominence? Now I think MC DCA is able to find guys. I think MC DC's culture is settled in there but this is what your world is now. This is what a winning franchise is like. Well you lose your coordinators. 100% and like honestly that's why I'm not that worried about the Bears or the division. AJ says it all the time. Who cares about winning the NFC North when you

want to win a Superbowl? And so now I'm looking at like Nick Sirianni. He went and found two new coordinators. It took a year and now he's back in the championship weekend. So hopefully MCDC can do the same. Yeah. And it's an NFC East championship weekend. I thought the NFC North was the one. Oh, geez. Oh, geez. championship weekend I thought the NFC North was the one what's your window Foxy what's the what's the Detroit window what does it look like right now you know we got a lot of young guys we got golf for a couple more years I mean

the roster is so young and MC DC is gonna have them ready to go so I still think we're right there I'm not worried one bit about that okay we have some breaking news out of the NFL The New York Jets have officially hired Aaron Glenn as their next head coach to be the leader of men at one Jets Drive over there in New Jersey obviously Aaron Glenn played coached understands that building over there and What he's been able to do with Detroit with injuries to every starter basically while still remaining the defense coordinator of a team that would end up being

the number one seed in the NFC before losing a devastator to the Washington commanders is now a head coach in the NFL. You know the last couple years his name has been floated in a lot of different jobs. I think last coaching cycle if he would have won all in he probably could have got a head coaching job with how great he has done and the turnaround that has happened up there in Detroit now he seemingly has found the job that he wants going back into New York New Jersey area to lead the Jets to potential prominence. I'll start with you, Jage. What do you think about Aaron Glenn getting the head coaching job with the Jets and this was kind of an

unkept secret for like the last four days seemingly everybody knew this was gonna happen. Yeah I like it I think every single person you talk to talks about how prepared and how ready he is to be a head coach how they think he's gonna have great success I think the fact that he was a first round pick for the Jets that he was a scout for the Jets I think somebody being in that organization before not necessarily from the success of it, but from caring about it, from having a passion about it, from not just being an outsider who's never had any connection

before. He's going to want to do something great with that. He's going to want to change the fortunes. He's going to want to be the one to take it to that next level. Now, obviously, you've got to figure out some things there. You've got the quarterback situation, you've got that future, but you win in New York, you can basically write your own ticket in that city. So it's going to be a lot of fun to see how that goes. Yeah, and you'll be on TV forever. You know, if you go to New York, you have a job in TV forever. He's got a guaranteed contract now at head coach, which is going to be big money, especially with the success that he's had. We just saw Ben Johnson allegedly signed for 13 million with the Chicago Bears. D-Butt, your thoughts on Aaron Glenn getting... You're slamming the guaranteed contract. I like it. It's a little...

players got to start. I mean there's a lot of players. Hopefully with the new NFLPA after we lay off a hundred and fifty people did you a hundred and fifty people got laid off. Did you know we had a hundred and fifty people? I didn't know. I was just about to ask what do they do 500 employees 530 years like 520 hundred NFLPA 530 yeah laid off 150 you wouldn't even know it still have a thing yeah we got to up the we got a full-time employees 150 people got laid off and they're getting paid a year worth it yeah full-time 500 something NFLPA got up the fees too though.

Got to build up the war chest. Got to build up the war chest. Yeah, for who? For who do we have to? Have you guys got anything done? What do we? Five? Oh, we've lost.

We're getting crushed on CBAs left and right. Every single, every single thing. Merch deals, contract, I mean everything. TV, you name it. L-L-L-L-L L we need more employees to get it right We need more employees actually we need more people that we could spend these doofus his money that he's giving us blindly Remember you have rats walking around locker room for us That's right guys used to have to work three jobs for us guys

You spoke six in the building before us well we saved it to bring entire thing, look what we're doing. We need to hire 100 more people, yeah. To do what? To do it. What are you talking about? To do what? To do it. Doing it, man. Who do you think puts these slides together?

Are the rats in the locker room? Yeah. Who do you think does this? Come out of nowhere. Who do you think does this pity party every single time we come around and get you at the end of your work day, after you've worked already nine days,

on a Thursday, and they have a meeting any questions Those meetings are the Biggest joke of all time. We got our Madden check We got your Madden as soon as we get out of here Everybody's gonna just pick up a check for doing nothing 13,000 15,000 bucks in questions man checks on deck any questions That's what we thought. All right. See you later. But yeah We got to get to the next town. All right, 600 people. Let's go up, let's go over, do the same song and dance over here. These fucking idiots don't know anything.

Bang, ready to the next one. Hey, any questions? That's what I thought. All right, pick it up, show goes on. Stay in the Four Seasons, too. What, every suite that you have. Four Seasons. We're going to vote for your team rep, and he's going to be cut the next year. And we're going to vote for a new one, and he's going to be cut the next year. We're going to vote for a team rep, and he's gonna be cut the next year.

And we're gonna vote for a new one, and he's gonna be cut the next year. We're gonna vote for a new one, he's gonna be cut the next year. Oh, you don't wanna be a rep, why? I don't know, because they've all been cut every single year after they become the rep. MWI, is that the center?

Yeah, Kevin MWI. Hall of Famer, unbelievable, becomes president of the FLPA. Can't get a job. Yeah, you're retired now. Oh, great. So who ends up being the reps that are voting on all these things? Long snappers.

Bingo. It is, it's an interesting dilemma over there, but I think the NFLPA laid off the bad 150 people. Yeah. And we hope they get new jobs. And we're thankful that as players that we could just send a check blankly and you have a job. Way to go. They're getting right over there. They'll figure it out. They're getting right over there.

But the head coach guaranteed contract, the reason why it's such a big deal is because 13 million bucks, four or five years, whatever it is, I mean you're getting paid throughout the entirety of that check. You're a baseball player. You're an NBA guy. So if a ownership or organization wants to change their mind after a year, you can be a professional golfer making more money than most of them other than Scottie Scheffler

for the next four years getting paid off of last year, the year before. Cliff Kingsbury's still getting paid off the Arizona Cardinals deal. McDaniels. Yeah, McDaniels still getting paid. He's up to New England. Congratulations to New England.

Oh yeah, yeah. Josh McDaniels. Still getting paid from the Raiders. Is now the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. While he's still getting Raiders checks. I mean, it is, it's insane how it works. But yes, NFLPA is going to figure it out, Jage.

NFLPA is going to figure it out. They got the right 350 guys there. They got the right hand ladies. Yeah, D-Bot has a question for you, Jage. I'm going to ask you about the defensive fronts left in the conference championships. Who do you have, I guess, the most confidence in going forward to win these things and get to the Super Bowl?

I mean, it's just obviously I'm in Houston guy and I just watched Carl Loftus take it to tight ends. You can't, I'm just gonna, you can't block, you can't block guys with tight ends. I'm just going to you can't block guys with tight ends. I'm just gonna say that right now. Chris Jones obviously up there as a beast, that first sack that he had, he just ran straight past. That was a tough one. And they got Omenahoo back from,

he wasn't out there the last time that they played the Bills, so he's great. I think the Eagles front is phenomenal. So I think my top two would be the Chiefs and the Eagles right now. We'll see how Jayden handles that. But the Chiefs just, they blew through the Texans. And Spags at the end of the game brought heat. I mean, he brought, it was perfect. He brought heat at the right time and they hit and they hit and they hit and so it just closed out the game. He knows what he's doing.

There's a reason he's possibly a hall of Famer as only an assistant coach. It's incredible. I think he's definitely gonna be a hall of Famer as an assistant coach. Every time they put out stats about what he's done, nobody else has done it basically. In most of the success and wins and everything like that.

Let's talk about that game a little bit. The storyline of this game is the Chiefs is still the Chiefs and the refs want the Chiefs to win. As a Houston Texans homer, as a citizen, I believe of Houston now, as a guy who's in the bull ring of honor in Houston, what were your thoughts on how the stripes worked and calls like this happened where Patrick Bumms always lost his entire skull.

And everybody's saying, and then he's flopping on the sideline As the face of football age was your big takeaway from the chatter that followed this convo Which is the chiefs are in bed with the refs and it's very obvious which is pretty much the sentiment Age or James change today change me Confusing nice couple J's like I The two calls everybody's talking about I think are justifiably talked about I think that they're legitimate I think it was great how Troy called them out. I think that was all great I also think it's absolutely absurd that they've come out after the fact and said no we made those calls correctly like let's just like

they've come out after the fact and said, no, we made those calls correctly. Like, let's just like the whole country agreed. Like that's not, don't even get into that. Now what I will say is Pat is notorious for knowing how to take full advantage of the rules. Like he's, he's a great quarterback because he does everything great. Not just on the field playing and everything, but he also knows how to take full advantage. He'll slide late. He'll stay tight, tight rope along the sidelines and make you hit also knows how to take full advantage he'll slide late he'll stay tight tight rope along the

sidelines and make you hit him so it looks like he's out of bounds he'll do all these things don't blame him for that one bit I would do it too if they were giving me the calls to me that's more on the refs which is why I was happy to see that they didn't throw a flag on that sideline one because they weren't gonna give that so hopefully you're sending the message that that's not gonna work for us anymore But those two other calls the reason they lost the game. Absolutely not you can't keep you can't complain about the rest of the reason We lost we'll see you in the next round how it keeps going see you tomorrow

Just started talking bullshit at the end of that. Hey listen, every once in a while you gotta find an exit. You know there's been multiple times I've been on TV and there's no exit in sight, you know, with where I'm at and I have somebody telling me in my ear, hey we gotta go and it's like I don't know where you want me to go, but there is nowhere for me to head to and then the brain just starts how do we get out of this and it's like Talk back Wish I could say we got about four to five more takes in this thing I don't know where you want me to go. You found an exit perfectly I'd say and

Those real hosting stuff that was great Yesterday we We sent it to a break and we didn't go to a break and then we're on for another 45 seconds. It worked today. It worked today. But that was certainly something. Nice. That was certainly something. So you actually... You guys, yesterday was impressive. I mean you guys had to be a tough day.

Yesterday was a massive day. What day is today? Wednesday? Yeah. So Tuesday was a massive day digitally for us because National Championship Monday night kind of carries in To Tuesday huge day digitally one half of the hammer Cowboys bubble gum Pino Gump a huge day on the interwebs for the old Pat McAfee show Massive day on X on Monday and Tuesday. What was it? What was it? Eighty three point nine million impression It's today. What was it? 83.9 million impressions. It's huge. Awesome. But so I used to you know with X and Twitter you can always see those numbers like in the back end of it if you pay for the blue checkmark now you get that if before you used to have a blue checkmark to get that and had it

and I would always check it and the numbers would be wild like X and Twitter has always been a platform that I focused on that's always been where I live since the very beginning that's literally the only thing I've really done you as well I believe and like the numbers would be huge and I'd be like I don't want to post these because I don't know if these are big numbers like I don't know what's a big number you know like I don't know like if I put this out is somebody just gonna fuck it yeah comparatively yeah who's this is on now it's where at the point where it's like I think people should see what ours are at least and then

let's see what is everybody else 80 some million in two days is a wild day on X and I'll tell you what whenever you're having those numbers you know a lot of people don't like you in there mm-hmm yeah a lot of people are seeing it a lot of people like you're seeing it focus on those ones people hate Russell Wilson'll be late. You're seeing this. People hate Russell Wilson. They shouldn't. Did you see Russ on the show? Did you see any of him talking to us? I saw him.

I didn't, I didn't have the sound on. My son was watching Moana, so I had Moana. I didn't have the sound on. What did I miss? Listen, kid, I can go on and on. I can explain every natural phenomenon, you know, the, uh, it's a good movie, man. Oh yeah. Good movie.

I'm going to see two this afternoon. I've heard mixed reviews on two, but, uh, no, it's a good movie man oh yeah good movie i'm going to see two this afternoon i i've heard mixed reviews on two but uh no it's good i've heard great it's unbelievable just like the red one the rocks in it it's going to be good so that is that is just what you need to know moana too is going to be good because of it rus is just like rus i think i think he's always rus i think it's similar to what you had to deal with there for a bit you're being portrayed as a superhuman perfect guy right and i think you sensed it and you had to deal with there for a bit You're being portrayed as a superhuman perfect guy, right? and I think you sensed it and you backed away from everything because you were kind of Over that being a thing not to you're not a superhuman and a good guy. But whenever everybody is like saying

Like pushing it and thrusting it basically in people's faces humans are naturally gonna start hating that thing I mean, that's just kind of how it goes. Everything is professional wrestling like that is life. So like Tim Tebow had it, I think you had it for a bit. Russ is very much in the middle of this type of thing too like look at this perfect guy. Isn't he perfect? He is. He is perfect. Look at this guy. He's doing all by himself a fake drive down the field with a sky cam right over top of him he's going through the huddle he's visualizing everything and it's like is Russ doing that for the cameras gotta be look at this guy look at this guy look at this guy so he's kind of been a victim of that thing after talking to

him it feels like he is who I think he's being portrayed to be and maybe some of it is a little corny but I think he's just trying to be a good good force in this world especially in sports so I respected him coming on and I thought he did a great job. And I think, I think there's also a thing that's like, okay, how long does somebody have to do it? Let's call it an act or not. How long do they have to do it before? No, that just is who they are. If they are acting, that is a 15 year act that is going on and that is who they are. I mean, the guy goes to the hospital every single Tuesday for his entire life Like do you think he's just putting on this every Tuesday and he's like at some point these people are gonna see it

No, he's just doing it because that's what he does. That's who he is I know mine obviously is a little bit different, but I agree There was a time where I went through that right there's definitely a time where I wanted people to think that like Captain America all this perfect and everything and try and portray everything you want to control every interview And I think there's a part of that where you're a little I don't know if it's scared or worried You're like, I don't know if people would actually like you if you just were yourself. You're supposed to play a character You're supposed to be this perfect image. You're leading a franchise or doing these things. You want to give out the perfect image and then there just comes a point where like not like I can't for me

I was like I can't I can't do this forever like and you know people didn't like it So I was like, oh fuck it if they're not gonna like me anyway might as well just be myself Yeah, just be normal. And so is there an imposter syndrome that comes in there too? Like I wonder about that, you know like like Tim Tebow, the way he was being covered was as if he was Jesus Christ. Yeah. That's holy shit. Still might be. Jesus playing football. Might be. I mean we don't know. Jesus is a lefty. I don't know if we knew that. And he plays quarterback for the Florida Gators. Like that is how he was being portrayed. You remember, we all remember it. That was like ESP. That was literally sports media. I wonder if

there's ever a, there had that weight, the weight of weight of that no doubt has to be real no doubt no doubt Yeah, because they're like okay at some point like I'm a normal human here like like people people are gonna at some point They're gonna turn on you and also that's something with our society They want to like they want to build people up, but then they also want to turn up Doesn't matter who you are doesn't matter how you are, doesn't matter how much success you have. They want to see the rise and they also want to see the fall. So it's knowing that that's also there at some point too. It's an interesting place to be. I wasn't at that level, but it's got to be interesting. You're up there, brother. I mean, you're on every...

We saw a lot of jager. It's happening now. So for with with some people like I know right now the tide has turned a little with Jason Kelsey just because he's on so many things exposed everywhere. Yeah. And you know, I think JJ has brought this up before. Like a lot of times,

like, hey, look, people are offering you money to do stuff like who are you? You got a family. You have things like who are you to say no to these guy out of Cleveland. Yeah. But like exactly. And he you know they he has his own business to run and things of that nature but you can kind of sense that on the internet at least like he's in a lot of commercials he's doing a lot of shows and of course a philly guy like there are people who know him as just like hey center offensive lin, and now people don't know him as that anymore.

And so naturally people are turning. We are like, obviously, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. There also is a figuring out of wading through the waters of that world. If you've never been in it before. I mean, you mentioned like, yes, he's been extremely famous. He's been an offensive lineman his whole career, the Super Bowl, he had the speech and all that, but he hasn't necessarily had a lot of the same commercial opportunities

coming his way the TV show opportunities so you're wading through these waters for the first time with people just throwing offer after offer after offer an opportunity after opportunity at you and everything sounds incredible because you've never had it at this level before so people are like we'll give you X amount of dollars for this commercial it takes one day to film that amount of So people are like, we'll give you X amount of dollars for this commercial. It takes one day to film. That amount of money for one day? Absolutely.

We'll give you this amount of money to have your own show and you can have your wife find your kids. Yes, that sounds great. I would love to do that. You don't at the moment think about like, oh, these people are gonna backlash against me for this or that for the other thing. And as you go through it, then you start to learn

what you really love to do, what you wanna do, what makes sense from a financial and a time commitment standpoint, and blending it all together and trying to find that right thing. The first time you go through it, man, it is hard to say no. It's almost impossible because you're just like,

this is unbelievable. We appreciate you saying that, telling your story, obviously, because you were a part of that whole thing. And we think Jason Kelsey's gonna be just fine in no long term, but there's been a lot in as somebody who's on TV a lot You know me age the boys. We're out there a lot. There's a lot of us like the commercial world That's when you're showing up when people don't know you're gonna show up Like I feel like where we are now everybody knows where we're gonna be okay The assholes are showing up The asshole is gonna be on this

Yes, the commercial thing is like now you're just saying everybody every bang bang bang truly getting shoved down people's throat Yeah, so that's a big that's a big decision to be made when you get in the commercial world Obviously, you've done a great job. Your commercials have been very well received. Mm-hmm this year. I think right don't you think all your commercials have been? Very long. Yeah, they've been great. I They've all been good dodge has been great. they helped my foundation a lot which was cool the red dodge ram The Dix one with the come right with the that was awesome So taco, but that's one of those things I'm talking about like I'm trying to pick and choose and have a little more input in the creative

So that when it goes out there, I'm really proud of it and I'm like this I'm okay with it. Cause so the ones that I do now, if people have backlash on them, I don't care because I am 100% completely comfortable and confident in them. And that's just somebody who wants to be met. I love that.

All right. Another guy that's probably gonna experience this going forward is maybe having the greatest rookie year in the history of the NFL. And somehow we're saying that after what CJ Stroud was able to do last year. AJ has a question for you, JJ. JJ, I wonder your thoughts on the commanders as a whole.

Obviously they're taking on Philly. I've said before, like I think they have a chance to win this game for sure. I think they got something special going on. What are your thoughts on the commanders, Dan Quinn, obviously Jaden Daniels and his historic run as rookie quarterback? I think it's A awesome to watch the way he handles himself the poise the calmness the confidence the ability the talent it's it's unbelievable and then B I think

it's the perfect example of what happens when all the stars in an organization align. Clearly the commanders had a problem for many many years and struggled for many many years under previous ownership. They change ownership, they hire a new head coach, they have a new GM, they get a rookie quarterback and all of those things combined to create a successful situation and basically an incubator for explosive success and that's what we're seeing right here. So I think of it as you look at all these other owners around the league.

And I think of this coaching carousel that we're going through right now. And I always picture these front offices meeting with their owner and the owner sitting down and pointing to the commanders and saying, why can't we do what they just did? They have a new coach, a new GM and a rookie quarterback. And they're in the NFC championship in their very first year. We're about to have a new coach, a new GM, and a rookie quarterback. And they're in the NFC Championship in their very first year. We're about to have a new coach. This guy better have us in the Championship this next year.

Why can't we do that? And I just laughed because of how unrealistic and how crazy that is, but the commanders did it. And it's a top to bottom change. They had a full, complete change of philosophy. They changed an entire organization, which had a history of struggling for the last 20 plus years. And they changed it all in two years, one

year really with the coach and GM. It's just a credit to when everything aligns and it also speaks to what happens if we put quarterbacks in good situations as opposed to young quarterbacks in tough situations. What are the names of that team over there in DC? What are the names of that team? It was the football team. The commanders. My favorite. And then what was then what was the football teams your favorite? Yeah But not their their fans seemingly have another favorite. Yeah, I don't like they don't like the other two

We were having a conversation about this on and the CBS desk the other day Because I say it on oracle you guys said it on air No, no But this is the conversation we were having because what were watching an interview with one of the former players he was talking about he said I got drafted by the Washington Redskins and Like they were like, I don't know if you can say that on air and I'm like, well, that's how would you say that? If you were drafted in if you were drafted in 1995, what team do you say you were drafted like? Well, we know how you would say we just found out yeah said the other team yeah yes the other franchise yeah potentially the

other one Terry McLaurin was actually drafted to that Washington team when they were known as the Washington Redskins that was the name of the team Jesus Christ oh we should fly this show capital error every how would you throw your heart if you had to throw it to a group of people. Yeah, not that way Maybe overhand throw What is the way you would do it? We talked about a few different styles cricket might have been the water Great, it's I mean if you want to grab that and then you start I like I like the frisbee. It's just I like to It's just I like

Got a good one, dude, yeah Yeah, you got to split the wicked somehow Throw it to a bunch of people that's all that's as far as I get watching one of those games I try and then I'll see the whole run up in the run. I go. Ah, the highlights are electric There's that's all I see. Yeah, so now I is the full on. They have like 3 month games don't they? Nah, they can't last that long. I think that's bullsh. Everything's coming up Burnley. Greatest English cricket bowler of all time. Jimmy Henderson. Grew up in Burnley.

Really? Was he a lefty or a righty? I couldn't even imagine being a south baller. I think there's some cousins that have a bone to pick with that. I've never seen a lefty. Yeah, India probably. There's some countries that have a bone to pick with that. I said he's the greatest English bowler of all time. Oh, OK. Well, the sun never set on the English Empire, too.

So what do you really know about that? You know about the history? I know some history. I don't know all of it. I watched Gladiator 2 the other day. Does that count? How was it? I mean after more like nothing compares to one. Oh, I've heard it's very good. Oh, I've heard it's really good It is like I love Denzel Denzel's awesome. I love I think is it worth watching

The original is definitely gladiator movie You think two is better than one? No, the original, in my opinion, is better. But two is great. But the original. OK. But it's not one of those one where they embarrassed the franchise. Absolutely.

Yeah, it did too much. Definitely not. Did not embarrass the franchise. It's not doomed to. Great movie. Don't embarrass the program. Don't embarrass the program. Connor's got a question for you, Jage.

Yeah, Jage, I believe right now the Eagles are the betting favorites. If they're not the lone favorite, they're either tied with the Chiefs or it's right around the same number. But how do you feel about the Eagles? They're the odds right there. They are the betting favorites. How do you feel about the Eagles chances? And the question really right now is, hey, can Jalen Hurts get it done? Does he worry you more so than the other facets of their team or what do you think their chances are looking ahead? I Mean I I've been saying it for a while now I think their defense is the undersung hero here as opposed to the offense

I don't think Jalen has to shoulder the load for the entire team. I think he has say Kwan I think he has a great offensive line. I think he has a great defense. He's been playing well Jalen Carter's playing on his mind So I don't think that he has to shoulder that whole load. But I also don't think that you can have a betting favorite not be the Kansas City Chiefs at the moment, just based on their history, based on what they do, based on how they find ways to win.

So I don't think that that's, in my opinion, accurate, but I do think that the Eagles are set up for success because of how they are built and they don't expect Jalen to have to win it on his own. Hey, Jage, we appreciate the hell out of you. There's one last question coming to you live from Hammer. Don. Don. Hey, Pete, Tom. Yeah, Jage, I did have a question about, you know, how the Rams kind of handled Jalen Carter and how everybody handles Jalen Carter. They double teamed him on over 50% of all of his pass rushes, which I assume you have dealt with many, many times.

And then in the fourth quarter, they were like, you know what, I think we had this guy handled, and they just tried to single him, and then he was let free. Like, does that ever happen? Yeah, so this is crazy. It's a crazy phenomenon about playing defensive line, and it's something you have to learn because it's one of the only ways to keep yourself Motivated through a game where you're getting doubled all the time because it's unbelievably frustrating and aggravating So you're getting double you're getting double you're getting doubled. But what happens as the game goes on? I'm interested to hear a Q's perspective on this is teams start to fall back into their

Routine ways as opposed to what they game plan for this game because the game gets going Maybe you're getting into two-minute drills, whatever it may be routine ways as opposed to what they game plan for this game because the game gets going maybe you're getting into two minute drills whatever it may be you're setting your protections and you're going you're setting protections you're going or you're calling plays that these guys have known since training camp not necessarily to game plan for this week so all week long the plan has been double jail and double jail and every time no matter what but then as you start to get in the fourth quarter you're falling into those old habits and those old play calls.

And you just don't go and buy your training camp rules as opposed to this week's rules. And I found as a defensive lineman, that's when I made a lot of hay was in that fourth quarter. And that's what kept me going through all those double teams knowing at some point, they're gonna screw up and give me a one-on-one. And that's when I have to win.

That's where that 10% luck comes in. Well, I think the other interesting thing too is with double teams, I'd love to know how this is categorized and how they're figuring out if it's a double team or not. There's certain guys, JJ, you were one of them. It was, hey, we're going to slide to 99 regardless of where he's at. Aaron Donald was one of them, right? But like, even if you remember early in your career when you had Wade Phillips as your D coordinator, he would always set the mic to the three technique. So we could always, we could do that. And the same thing whenever he went to coordinator, he would always set the mic to the three technique. So we could always, we could do that. And the same thing whenever he went to LA, he would set the mic to that.

Well then they bring Staley in and now Aaron Donald's over here and the mics over here. So you got to pick your poison. Are we going to Aaron or are we going to the mic? And then also if it's a three by one protection, the nickel's going to be over the slot to the three by side, which is also where the three tech is. If you're a nickel over team, right? So then you like the center is always going gonna slide to the three tech, right? He's always sliding to the mic in the same. So everybody knows that yeah, right and so like at the end of the day

Whenever this happens Just listen to say you're always You're gonna slot you're gonna slide to the mic and in the protection So is that really a double team or is that just part of the protection? I guess is the center's gonna be uncovered I've gotten a lot there has been many Mike 99 games in my day where they don't they don't Mike the mic they Mike the D lineman I know Aaron Donalds played face that as well there's a few guys that face that that there's nothing

more frustrating and when you walk out for the first play of the game and they go Mike 99 you're like oh shit this so explain that Mike 99 they're setting the protection off of you normally whenever they say Mike's this Mike's this that's who they're counting in counting out right that's right it's normally Mike's 52 and then you make your sort call you make your slide whatever it is right Mike 52 what does that mean it's that's that's his number yeah but why is that the starting point for you guys well see you always you always read the protection right so you look at the defense if it's too high then the slots probably gonna be the same the next guy ends the So you look at the defense, if it's too high, then the slots probably going to be the same. The next guy ends the mic,

the next guy's the will. If it's one high, now the free safety is down over here, he's the will, the next guy ends the mic, the next guy's the same. So what do you do for your protection though? You just basically find the middle of the three and you're going to the middle of the three. So you're, there's going to be a center of garden attack with sorting three of most dangerous four to the mic. But if JJ or Aaron Donald is away from the mic, we might just say, fuck the mic. We don't care. We will put the back on that guy.

We're sorting to, we're going to him. It's no matter what. It's all a numbers game. It's just a numbers game. They're trying to get the numbers to match up. And that's the easiest way to do it is by doing it with the mic. But then sometimes teams will choose a guy

if they're that guy. And they'll'll just say we can't afford to not have We can't afford to have that guy ruin the game for us to set it to him And sometimes that means somebody's free on the other side And if you got a good D coordinator who can take advantage of that generally it does it's TJ Watt. Okay, is he happy? I Mean he's not happy he'd be prefer to be playing right now. Is he okay? For a different team? Is he alright? Is everything okay with Teage? Teage okay?

Gonna come back stronger than ever? Yeah, that he's going to do. I can promise you that. Is he gonna play on the other side? On the other side? He's gonna move to the other side. He's gonna play on the other side? And then maybe in the middle too?

Not just the other side. I mean, we talk about this literally almost daily. But it's not just going to the other side. That's not the easiest solution. You have to move all over the place. You have to make it so they don't know where you're going to be at any time. So they can't sit in their meetings and say,

this is where he's going to be and set all their protections. You have to be able to play a three technique over the nose. You have to be able to play at the other side, three technique outside. And it also has to be within the defense. The defense has to be willing to do that as well. And you have to have a plan for that. Then you got to scheme some stuff up.

And also if you find a guard who's a fish, right? We can just go here. Yes. Yes. Yeah, there's a mic'd up segment where you find the guy. I think I've watched it before where you sit on the sideline and it's like, yup, we found them. We found them. And I think it was a guard.

You were going on the inside and they just started coking the guy. And then there's other mic you were going on the inside and they use started cooking the guy And then there's other Mike that moments where you like they picked the wrong guy. You remember this guy? Oh, yeah Maybe we're just better. Yeah, and then with the all the moments of him my this guy flips switch out. Oh, yeah We love it. We appreciate your owner. We do we appreciate you man. I miss I miss it. I miss it bangles Maybe I maybe miss it I miss it. I miss it bangles. Maybe I maybe miss it Maybe a James Bradford if he does it dude, I would be because it would be the most incredible feat in the history of sport I think if you went 19 more games. Oh, yeah, no goals in soccer

That could be impressive never seen I would Start today 2 p.m. Who we playing again Plymouth Rock Orgoth Plymouth orgoth bottom of the table absolute shite their top team now They are tough they go ready bomb I got a couple goal they got a couple goal scorers that could baby put this entire bangles situation in Joe Oh, yeah, big Jim tall when James gets it on his left boot, Look out. He shapes that fucker. Yeah, bends it like Beckham.

They go, what a dig by James, oh Jimmy Lefty. That's the way he fucking shapes that thing. And then the Cincinnati Bengals entire Super Bowl hopes next year. In the back of the net. He buries Burnley early. Yeah. I feel like the Bengals Bengals D lines already got a few white guys with arm braces on I feel like they I feel like they've got That use another one. They're getting shipped. Yeah, I think I don't know if Hendrickson's gonna be there is he I don't know I don't know that he deserves a lot of money. He's earned a lot of money

So we'll see what happens there smart chases earned a a lot of money. Congratulations, buddy bet on yourself in one Big time still has another It still has another year and then a franchise and then another process that's Bring that back to the pa pa conversation because that's I was the first year of that My first year was the first year of the 2011 cba Trent williams was drafted in my same spot the year before me, I believe he made four years, $23 million and I was drafted in the exact same spot the next year and was four years, $11 million.

And I had a fifth year team option. Again, this is all perspective, you can't complain about millions of dollars, no shit. But they had the team option and then they can franchise you and then they can franchise you. So the team has control for seven years You're screwed man. I got so angry. You're a rookie year. Is that where it happened? Is that where it started? Yeah, I told the rep

Started is that where it started Shane was there Shane? I was pissed I was tackled I let him know I was like we got screwed here And they were like we don't want rookies to have all the money I was like well the whole you don. And they were like, we don't want rookies to have all the money. I was like, well, the whole, you have to understand the entire ecosystem. They didn't understand the ecosystem. We told them that the whole time. That's why it's known in New Orleans.

And they knew you were right. That's why they were like, this guy's name is JJ Wah. They were saying these guys tried to deflect. That wasn't the case. You were JJ Wah, big break. Yeah, well, at the moment he's Shane Wah after the national championship. There is maybe a couple extra L's in that last name, is it? Shane Gillis. That's Shane. We don't love that.

We may or may not have talked to him since the game, and he is heartbroken. There's a lot of deflecting going on. Down bad. He's been firing his shots. He really was. He became the mascot of the team there for the last few weeks Yeah, he's the guy he got paid to do a prayer Yeah, I mean that kind of goes without saying you know as bad as you probably is that example of a good commercial He chose a good commercial to do because that turned out good. Yeah Well, I think Shane's creating all these like they give idea and then he is producing it

Yeah, and it done and that's why they are amazing super talent. Obviously. Well, I'm sorry Talent. Yeah, who Shane? Extra l-gil what a run by that Notre Dame team has saving called him since the end of that game. We had to fool We don't saving wants to beat the shit out. Yeah We don't say everyone's to beat the shit out We don't know if that's true leave what if he did just choke him what if he went to Shane just grab him choked him Like what would Shane do? Oh, hi Shane. All right. I also want to know this maybe maybe you've talked about it But Ryan day seemed legitimately mad about the Lou Holtz thing Yeah, has he done an interview since with you and will? Is it an actual tense thing or was he...

In the room? Like this one I just did? The one where you're sitting down with both of them and then... Yeah, I thought Ryan handled it awesome. I thought it was hilarious actually. Yeah, I thought it was hilarious. Because there was more he said in there that they edited out when he was talking shit to me and to Ty. He was basically like, what do you guys you guys do so you guys just sit down and say how am i going to do something absurd or something like he was it was very yeah i saw that but like there was a part of me when he said because when he said you guys have already got me with this shit once yeah it to me made it seem like he was like all right guys like i'm not this isn't going to be my running joke i'm sick of this shit no but i was

wondering if he was actually no no look he was actually he was I thought it was like the best way he can handle in my eyes when I was in it I was like this is the best way to handle it and there was 14 people in that room I mean it was a pretty packed room with a lot of people of course stiff stiff stiff room but I thought it was the best reaction personally like when I saw it I think he handled it great I just wondered if there was actually a little underlying like So here's the issue what for Ryan Day and he knows this and it's maybe us taking advantage of a situation AJ being on this show every day. Okay, this guy's like royalty over there in Ohio

Like actually, you know what I mean rightfully so bingo Ohio State, right? Let's I mean there's a reason So I think Ryan Day knows our shit. Like I think Ryan knows our show. And I think Ryan knows like we are just fucking, like I think Ryan, I thought it was great out of Ryan Day. Me too. Like as it happened, and then we were talking about it afterwards, didn't even think like day before national championship.

Like that didn't even cross on me. That was not even a- It certainly crossed my mind. For mine it was not, for mine it was not even a thought. It crossed my mind when I heard it was happening. It crossed my mind, I was like, I don't know cross bond for mine. It was not for mine It was not even cross my when I heard it was happening across my I don't know how it's gonna go to be honest See I didn't think that's across my mind It was like I got a guess where you can I in my head is like there's no way to bring it out right now Oh, see, I didn't think about it. That's part of the problem

I think with this entire thing is like we go to Dublin the crowd in the bar can't hear us There was no other option other than me drinking 30 beers with these people because they couldn't hear our show. These people all came, couldn't hear us, so they're going to at least get something out of this. Zero other option other than chugging beers. Then I wake up the next day and I got a lot of people attacking me for that. I'm like, I don't, in my, you and I are never going to see things the same. Because in my head there was no other option, especially for the people being there. In that one. No other option. They're playing Notre Dame Ryan day Marcus Freeman are there I think we're cool with it

Oh parties here just gotten brought up again like in his you know, a very recent press conference talking about it That was the big so in my head there's no other option Just so we go just some people you get doubt There's not even a question of whether or not it's good. And then immediately afterwards, people are like, I can't believe you did that. Some people in the room and I'm like, what do you mean? I don't even know what you're talking about. And then I, oh yeah, probably not at the right time, I guess.

But no, it is the right, it was the only right time. You had to be there. He was- That's what makes it great. That's what makes the show great. That's what makes you great. Nobody else on the planet can pull that off. If anybody else, if Tom Manali sat down and tried to

bring in a fake little host to the interview, like that ain't flying. You're the only person that could possibly do that. I thought Ryan Day handled it great. I thought Ryan Day looked good coming out of that piece. He did and also like if that goes absolutely terrible like Pat's gonna say we're not gonna run this thing. Yeah I don't like getting, yeah I'm a big let's not bury people guys. So if he didn't handle it well in my eyes, if I didn't think it looked good, we would have said let's just end it. Yeah, as I say, it's over.

I am surprised you haven't had the golf cart driver on the show yet. I thought we would have that by now. We had Will, Will's good. Will was sitting right behind her. That was great. Told the story. We got to the bottom of it. I think she was also a menace on the field which has been we've only seen

Four seconds of her driving her worst moment absolute worse there and I shouldn't kill anybody on the field You know any indication? Oh, no Yeah, move she was saying yeah whore That's never comfortable to be the people on that cart or in that escort while the people are acting that way by the way You always feel uncomfortable like there was just George GBI which I don't know what that is Gb is a Georgia Bureau of Investing. I don't know probably something like this guy had a fucking thing on He was like my security guy to give me back and forth. He was leading away Playing no games. Yeah

Took a neck shot or something there because he was walking a little, I didn't notice it until Will said it, but he was walking a little gingerly there. Whiplash, guy just called Whiplash. All right, great, I'm a national champion now, I'll go Whiplash. My neck kills.

All right, sweet, gonna feel great. Gonna be sleeping like a baby tonight. Off right, what a time, what a moment. They'll be remembered forever. And lady, you're doing great. We appreciate your sense of urgency. Now, she had an eye on that wall though, like very clearly saw the wall. She smiled through it. She smiled right through it. She had a lot of respect for that. How about whenever she was going to back it up. All those dudes

are still sitting on it. Still sitting on it. Hold on, hold on. Let me go ahead and lift up and pull. She starts, she'll start to pull. All those people are on there. She's a thousand pounds probably on there. Let me go ahead and pull this thing out. That is absolutely total man. That axle is gone. The wheels, everything is just boom. What if they're gonna auction that thing off? By the way, hold on, even more. They should autograph it and auction it off. Will Howard laughing through it all. Yeah. This guy's a guy. He is. Will Howard's a guy. I think that's my biggest. Thanks. Wait. I think he's a guy He came on the show was good on the show as well I think he's I think he's gonna be a real deal on Sundays. I think I thought that he

Obviously, I haven't watched every single house They came to the season but the way he handled himself in that game and the way he just stepped up to the plate time and time again Very guy like I will say how about third and 11 brother to win it the way he handled himself in that game and the way he just stepped up to the plate time and time again Very guy-like I will say how about third and 11 brother to win it deep shot to jeremiah. I mean that's just you know, um Unfortunate situation to leave the db one-on-one there with that for the game on the line that stuff. Yeah christian grey tough spot They thought it was gonna be a run. They won heavy though. He said he won heavy with all goes So I assume nother dame thought they were gonna run one more time kind of kill our

Last time out and then try to play the field position game with McGuire punting it But instead I love that Ryan day chip Kelly will Howard biggest moment biggest decision. What do you do? Unload the clip. Let's go win it. Just like whenever we saw Aaron Glenn for the NMC number one overall seed Yep, he brought pressure more than any other team the entire season. It's like in the biggest moment. What are you scared? You didn't go you say you are they went I like will Howard a lot AJ Are you pissed that everybody keeps saying like the 20 million dollar thing like no other team and believe that has a 20 million dollar Like I don't know why you guys seem to get pigeonholed. I keep seeing everybody saying, well, yeah, that's what happens when you spend $20 million on your team. I'm like, what do you think other teams are doing?

Everybody has that money. Some reason you guys became the base of having an expensive team. Yeah, I don't know why. I mean, I think now it's kind of coming around. People that actually pay attention will see like people coming back and letting you know, hey, yeah, like there's other teams that have actually spent more money than Ohio State did and so yeah you know I mean the reason why is because the season started with that narrative we're I was a part of it I mean I was a big part of it I'm like hey Ohio State's going all in they spent 20 million on the roster they brought this thing

and it's all because Michigan what Michigan just did like this is a make or break year for Ohio State they're growing all in and it was like openly known somehow. I don't know how we got the information, but it was like openly known. I'm not saying we broke the news. Other people broke the news. I learned of the news and we're like, yeah, this is even more of an implication

that this team's going all in. So I thought it was a vital story to be a part of. I wasn't the only one. Everybody was talking about it. But then as the season goes on, we talked about this a lot. The convo was Ohio State spending, Ohio State spending. A lot of these other schools were the convo was Ohio State spending Ohio State spending a lot of these other schools were like yeah Ohio State spent Ohio State that was like kind of the story

of the year because there's big checks coming from a lot of big places and a lot of them have four seasons a lot of them have inclement weather a lot of them have a lot of wealthy alumni yeah Mm-hmm a lot of them have a lot of wealthy alumni. Yeah, and I think there's a real Conversation going Caleb dance Best player in the SEC is true freshman last year America, right true freshman last year. Where's he go north? Quincheon Judkins best running back in the SEC. Where's he go? North it's like there's a chance that the North does have a little bit more in the bank when it comes to alumni than the South. How's that gonna work out going forward? Are they gonna get guardrails on this entire

thing so that at least there's some comps in some rules? It's like we're in an interesting time right now but like Penn State to the world who have a lot of rich alumni who would like to see their football team play well in a great spot SMU even though yeah SMU has a lot of big money people around them in alumni they're in a great spot but I feel like a lot of the schools that have a lot of money around them are now like being enticed to be like hey you want some tickets yeah just give us five million we'll pick up three players yep boom like that's starting to happen now they like real deal but Ohio State was the ones they were being talked about as like the only group

that was doing it. But the annoying thing was, and Kirk and Dez got into it, but it was more about, even I knew at the moment, a lot of it was bringing, retaining your roster. A lot of these seniors, a lot of these older guys came back. Yeah, of course they got some studs, but the majority of the money I think was spent in keeping the guys that were already there. Well, I think that's a big part of everybody's, you know, like Alabama. That's the thing I'm interested in now because these two teams just played way deep into after the portals been open. What's gonna happen now after this game? How does that all work? That's part of the reason I said I think that the Rose Bowl on January 1st should be the National

Championship is because you got to end this thing earlier so that all this other stuff doesn't keep floating into the different parts of the year. Like the NIL, the transfers, all of it. I just, I feel like, I feel like ending it earlier just makes more sense. You got a lot of games, bro. So many games. It's a lot of games. It's a 9-1 schedule now.

It is. It's a lot of games. But they also got school, you know, where they at least have to act like they're doing the school. Like all of them have to act like they're doing the school like all of them have to act like they're doing the school Throughout the entirety of it. It's a lot this season this college football playoff was long It felt like an NBA playoff where like when the NBA playoffs start like in a lot of people's eyes Those are the only teams in a league, you know Yeah, like yeah, there's only teams you're gonna see this college football season

It feels like coach football playoff was so long Like only the teams that played in the playoffs are gonna be talked about in the offseason like if you don't make it to the playoff it's like that's like two three months like so long ago you haven't even played football even the first round of the NBA people don't even start watching until like the second round sometimes because there's so many blowouts in the first round of the NBA, just like the college football player. Used to only be five games, remember? Yeah, now starting with 12.

Whoa. Whoa. F1 superman? Absolute shite. It's a new day. Lewis Hamilton. Yes, it is. Um... F1, are we in the middle of the season?

No, no, no, no, don't start till March. Anybody watch the TGL last you watch? You're a big golf fan. I watched a little bit of it actually. Did you? On the internet or on TV? On TV. I had it on, I was actually working on my swing, crafting at X Golf and it was on the TV. Okay, and Foxy, Detroit Lions fan, golf super enthusiast. Did you watch TGL last night? Yeah, I watched it the Atlanta Drive kicked the hell out of the New York golf club once again it was

another snooze fest four to zero they got a lot to work on over there I'll just say it that big site see what the numbers are you know debut night obviously does its thing tiger playing does its thing now it's week three saw Billy ho coming in doing a dirty bird yeah he's a goofball but he's an absolute goofball Billy Ho missed out on a massive Saudi Arabia check when everybody else was taking it and now he's hoping to cash in hopefully for TGL and as a blue-collar guy we hope Billy Ho gets an opportunity to do that so I like to see him showcasing a little personality and pizzazz out there I didn't get to see any of it.

I obviously DVR'd it. And I will certainly catch up, but they used you, the Atlanta Drive, they used you in the video saying, all of these have been blowouts. And the Atlanta Drive said, and we plan on keeping it that way. And they lived up to their projection.

Wow, 100%. They kicked ass from beginning to end. The Falcons owner, he owns that team. And then the Mets owner. Party Blake? Oh, shoot. I owner he owns that team and then the owner. Yes Your golf club do a lot of celebrities in the stands. So yeah, it's uh, it's quite the spectacle So a lot of influence, you know a lot of influential people So obviously they're calling their friends to watch TGL and everything like that tie You are now one of the talking heads of TGL. You've been used in a social media video

Are you gonna pay attention really keep track everything going on over there in the TGO? You know, it's interesting that they decided because I didn't think for a second to watch that last night. What Tuesday? Yeah You know, I didn't know what's happening. It's Tuesday Patrick Cantlay doesn't really strike me as a hey, this guy's got a big personality I want to hear what this guy has to say great shots. Maybe I gave it a chance the first two weeks I did I did I tried chance the first two weeks. I did. I did.

I tried. Tiger's team went out there. They got the absolute shit. All right. I'll maybe check it out when Rory is up next Monday. Boston Common Golf Club. Yeah, sure. I also don't get that.

I mean, what connection does Rory have to fucking Boston? I mean, it's like they were- He's Irish. He's North. So what? Northern Ireland. So what? I was going to say. Oh mean it's like they were he's Irish North so what than Ireland so what I was gonna say? Oh, he's northern Yeah, he's from Northern Ireland, and I think they are or more British than than anything else. There's a big discrepancy there Yeah, two different islands. They're like you big big big big deal exactly so big I don't understand Catholic situation. It's just

It's the same goddamn thing every week so and one thing that's happening is they're getting slower week one. It was bang bang bang You know why it was so fast Rick can't let yeah, they're much slower now. What do you mean? He's the king of playing slow member Brooks was like hey, I'm gonna beat the fucking shit out of this guy He doesn't you know move it along a little bit, okay? I'm gonna put some pressure on this asshole everyone on tour hates him because he plays so fucking slow He's probably good guy, but you're talking about his style. I didn't think it was possible to play slow at the TGO We didn't watch if you can please inform clock. Thank you. Yeah There's a Q Shipley 12 year NFL vet also golf enthusiasts

He's a member of a a cult out in Arizona runs a golf tournament Yeah, and Foxy and I were talking earlier, they're changing rules, right? So any of the shots that were a hundred or I think it was like 125 and in previously, they would go from the front tees. But since Tiger was air mailing the last couple of weeks, apparently it was throwing off everybody's depth perception. So now 125 to like 50 yards is gonna be at the front tee

I'm sorry the back tee and then 40 yards and in is in the front tee now get better depth perceptor Just changing rules week for that. I actually don't mind the whole thing. Yeah, that's that's a right revolution It's not we're gonna start seeing like from 120 chip ins See, yeah. Yeah, that's what we've been waiting. Yeah, we want to share I feels revolutionary. I haven't really seen much to understand what a key was talking about sounds like an absolute I heard Tuesday's gonna be here before we know I know I can't wait Tuesday's coming around. Tuesday's gonna be here before we know it. I know. I can't wait. Okay, so let's watch this front T, back T a little bit different. Big difference. Because that perception changes everything. Yeah, truly.

I think we were told. I might be mistaken. You guys had conversations with these people more than I did actually. TJL was inviting us to go down whenever we wanted. Anytime we want, we'll get the whole facility to ourselves. Who was that through? Who was that from? Do we remember? Who would we owe if we were to be? Vino was the one we were talking to. So Vino owns the league. Yeah, exactly. Okay, Vino dog, genius, hard worker, juice guy.

I've never seen a juice guy. Yeah, he gets the money. Vino gets the money. So once I heard Vino was a part of it and I saw the slabs in there, I'm like okay, I'm connecting some dots here. Yeah, well now we know who's kind of doing that particular aspect The only issue is he's not running probably the broadcast I don't think so and they need to fit now it's a guy from NBC. Remember we look this up. Oh, yeah It's that tomorrow studios the guy who grew golf bingo. What what years? Most important one. It's funny you mentioned that no sometimes you're in the right place at the right time. What?

And you get a guy like Tiger to come along and you kind of change the face of golf. And ratings go through the roof. Exactly. And guess whose shoulders that's on? That guy's. You're right. His resume, you mean. Yeah, exactly. It's certainly on his resume. I'm bummed out that I had zero, when I

thought about turning it on it was over because it was on at seven or something. Then it had been on later before right? Yes it has been at nine o'clock was the first one. So that's the so like I think it was like 850 maybe and I was like oh TGL it was already off there his college basketball game on. And then I saw some of the clips. I saw Billy Hall entrance. Awesome. And that was so cool. Everything doesn't need to be there.

It was sweet. Horshaw. Yeah, Billy Hall. Billy Hall. Billy Hall. Billy Hall. Entrances got to go. No way, man.

That was the best part of the whole thing. That was the only clip that I saw. That was the only good part of last night. Dirty man. That was the best part of the whole fuck thing. Oh You kept it. I was the only good part of last night dirty bird. I was sweet Fucking all right one second. I thought you'd take a shirt off of the play. He could have he's jacked. I've seen him on boat That's not even a chicken. I said okay after that you think fucking Atlanta GC is gonna lose. No game over. Yeah, you golf fans so hard, please You wanna see more of these guys personalities and they show it and I know no don't show us anymore I don't want to see their personalities. I want to watch him play golf. That's all I care about Well, it's hard to watch whenever it's this cold and there isn't a season going on

So they're hitting into a big sim then he zoom in on the sim feels like a bunch of video game Then we're in real life that I don't know who's doing what I don't know what the rules are How are we getting points? We got a front team. We got a back team. I just learned that I've watched two episodes I did not know that was happening still hey, you know that you know, they can raise the lip to on the bunker shots Yeah, they have to dad super real Waited they waited till I drew football was done cuz then we'd be like man We need something to watch especially like if they waited after the Super Bowl we'd be like, you know This is kind of cool. No, they're getting all the

They're figuring it out right now. Yeah, but that's kind of yeah they are I want it to be good. Don't you guys want to be yeah, I really want no I think it can be good I think that's the biggest thing All the stars are then there based on all the stars we could still get Brooks in there if we were is Brooks in us. No, no, this is a PJ operation, correct Okay, so all the stars that PJ no Scotty no Bryson. What is Scotty supposed to be? The PGA tour is also happening right now. So it's probably a tough sell Phil Bryson And everybody else there are different we had already as we said, this is not the live golf This is PGA. So if we want to run through the live roster we can do that

right now John Rompe Dustin Johnson's not in this either do we want to go through the entire young the one you're the the putty yeah calm calm young is not it so these are all common they're not in this what a man what a man we agree we agree but I think PJ is a part of this entire thing has all the stars yes has the tech has the building it's in there. They'll find it when it gets good. Let me know Matt. Barry needs help He's on an island the whole time and he's doing a fantastic job. He needs more though He can't just run the show the whole time. I don't know I do love him saying every single time on every single shot. No matter what. How's your heart rate?

How you feeling on that one? They have whoops on it or no. No. No, it's just like it. We okay. I don't think these guys are that nervous All right, you well kids was he bladed that kids was boozed up. I don't know I think he might have been boozed up. What does that guy shoot this weekend Quan true Quan true quit trouble Yeah, trouble. Yeah, couldn't Trump lit bogey. Yeah, that guy went from 600 a plus to that poor guy, I mean it did look difficult the whole was stupid Yeah, bunker. Yeah Golf is so awesome. That's why we hope TGL is good Go figure it out. How many more weeks of it are there what not enough?

I don't know that's the answer but no cuz that's what I was like I really think there are only like five or six weeks left Is there a playoffs? They playoffs? Oh, yeah Keep score. I'm fucking know that I thought I thought the one team lost like four different times and no chick No points changed on the scoreboard. So I'm like, that's my issue to throw the hammer down No, they weren't throwing the hammer down at all last night, which is bullshit and I know what I do though about double points Double points for the hammer hammer down holes are fucking nuts hammered down

Sounds so cool. We need to watch it. We haven't even watched it I watched the first two weeks in in the entirety. I had it on TV last night Right here. You're playing video games. I was watching American Primeval. Primeval? I don't know how to pronounce it. Peter Berg. Peter Berg, Jim Ursay. Number one on Netflix for a few different days. Congrats to them. I've heard that's a great show. It's pretty good, yeah. I like it a lot. Those throwback ones seem to be doing really well in our era. Society would like to watch the crazy shit that happened before.

More killing. We got some crazy shit happening now. We'd like to see what happened back then as well. I had no idea about Brigham Young. What's that? Learned about him. What'd you learn? Just learned about him.

That's how you operate. On American Prem-Evil? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He, he, uh, he was very defensive over Utah. Bit of a gangster. Yep. In some ways. Well, yeah.

I said, we got the gold boards, the gold plates out of upstate New York. John Smith, yeah. This place is ours now. Let's just say not every religion is founded on squeaky clean values. You'd say none of them. No. Could say.

There's a few. There's a few out there. Buddhism. Super squeaky clean. Mm-hmm. How about these monks? I see these monks walking up these cliffs. They're like squeaky clean.

Crazy, that was pretty cool. Did you see that? Oh, yeah. Just straight. He had a different trail. It feels like they should have maybe one with the trail he was going on. You know, they had the ropes right over here. And then there's a monk just walking up over here. I didn't see this. Strong feet. Strong feet. I didn't see it either. It was unbelievable.

I had his Chi right. Really? He did have his Chi right. Always. He's wearing like a dress. His monk thing, yeah. Yeah, what are those? I don't know like just a normal hill to walk up. I think so, too. Yeah. Yeah We got ropes And then It is Jay Leno's not

Pittsburgh yeah could be the Jay Leno in between the best Westerners. It's like one of those goats. One of those goats that walk up those mountains sideways. Oh yeah. I don't know what he is. Isn't that what we learned too from the Middle East? They're able to sprint up and down these rocks that are just at a different level. I'm a good hill guy.

Just like I'm a good creek guy. Skip Stone. Did you ever hear of Skip Stones growing up in Ohio? Yeah, still I'd still do as an adult Yeah, how are you? How many skips you think you're getting? I'm legit with that guy have like 42 is already said that was a championship record world record I think is like 70 something or 80 I mean if I had this guy's rock if I had this nice smoothed out grinded down rock I can I can get up there. That's part of the process. He's got a picture. He's like a rubber

He's pushing off too. So he's got power. Yeah, that's part of the process. He's got a, it's like a, it's like a pitcher. He's like a rubber. He's pushing off too. So he's got power. Yeah. And this is just championship throw for Kurt Steiner. This is not his best throw. Then he's been, this was just one of the lights were the brightest when the water was the smoothest. We have some breaking news, ladies and gentlemen, Trent bulky has been fired as the Jacksonville

Jaguars general manager. If you do recall Shahid Khan, also known as shot con, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars general manager. If you do recall, Shahid Khan, also known as Shad Khan, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, was on a Zoom press conference with Trent Bocchi. They were the only two on the screen. And the media asked, if the new coach comes in and wants a new general manager, will you heed to that? And he said, absolutely.

And Bocchi just had to sit there and say, well, I guess I could be gone gone and that is certainly the case now Balki out is that because of a head coach coming in and saying I like this particular general manager This how I want to go or is this potentially shot Khan realizing that maybe nobody wants to coach for his team because he's keeping Balki who's been around like ten different times and has always survived bad situation shot Khan says following several discussions with Trent Palky this week we both arrived at the conclusion that this is in our best mutual best interest, respectfully separate, effective immediately. Turned off his fob. Trent leaves us with my

deepest appreciation for his efforts over the past five seasons. Ethan Wan will serve as interim general manager and play an important role with others as we continue the process the interviewing candidates to serve as interim general manager and play an important role with others as we continue the process the Interviewing candidates to serve as our new head coach I am deeply committed to building a winner here in Jacksonville and look forward to introducing a new head coach Who will make that happen for our players and fans alike a lot of people are gonna meet those say to Sean You could have fired his cow weeks ago. Thank go Good fire just got weeks ago could have already been in the process of interviewing new general managers

Maybe you know, but I think shot probably had a comfort with bulky. Obviously. That's why he stuck with him and Maybe he wanted his insight for the hire as soon as he said though on that zoom call that yeah I'll fire this guy somebody that felt like that was the writing on the wall. It now takes place What happens next for Jacksonville? We shall see AJ Yeah, I mean I would imagine that they have their their head coach in the sights like they they're about to hire their head coach And he either didn't like Bocchi or had his own ideas of who should be the GM I'm thinking but yeah, like this does feel like it should have happened a month ago. Yeah, and I think Jackson Jack Where's fans are gonna be okay with this? Yeah, I don't think they're gonna be tore up deep

But she's had some solid solid picks, But yeah with two two offensive minded head coaches Because wasn't it rumored that Liam Cohen was gonna be offered his job So maybe he was like nah not gonna go there So you put that either or Trevor Lawrence the quarterback don't want to work with him or don't want to work with the GM Then obviously Ben Johnson choosing to go to Chicago So two offensive playmakers saying or play callers and like nah, that's not the destination for me So I probably had to have that conversation figure. Okay, maybe we get a new coach energy him to come in same time So all eyes are on coach Sala

Potentially get a Jacksonville now. I know he was interviewed other jobs. I think he was interviewed in Dallas I think he's been I assume he's being interviewed a lot of places because of what the Jets became after he left in What the Jets was like whenever he had to deal with it. I think everybody outside of the Jets is like, yeah, do you really? Do you really have an opportunity there? Yeah, does he want to be a defense coordinator again? Which I assume he will have the opportunity to be if he wanted to go to San Francisco 49ers But he's been interviewing a lot for these head coaching jobs and it's like Jacksonville. He has ties to so Robert Sulla I assume if he has ties to Jacksonville and the Kahn family likes him,

if he wants to be their head coach and he doesn't want Bulky to necessarily be there, that could be a reason why they move on from Bulky. Absolutely, I read about 35 tweets this morning that said as soon as Liam Cohen pulled out of the race, it was basically like everything came out about Trent Bulky's the reason nobody wants to go there. Okay. And that was the biggest thing that I kept reading. Which maybe they aren't saying that but that's an easy thing to

kind of declare if you watch how it's all kind of going down. And once again could have seen this coming. I think everybody in the football world kind of saw this one coming. Shotcon had to see it for his own eyes we think. What do we expect there? Yeah maybe you know Joe Brady still kind of out there as well yes offensive guy the Bob solid thing is kind of interesting because you know you go from one organization that has you know an owner and a kid that's a little involved and then the Jags you could argue is almost the same situation with an owner and a kid who's a little involved but I don't't know, maybe. He's an adult. He's an adult man.

He's the chief football strategist for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah, tough. Which I believe. He did, he took a Tony Khan driver, shut up to work the next day. Which, I mean, Gritty, definitely. I don't, again, I don't know how much

that helps you in football games, but I do think that it's definitely something Salah would be familiar with. I don't know what Trevor Lawrence is thinking. Man, all these offensive minded coaches don't want to come coach for me. I think Trevor understands the situation down there in Jacksonville. I think he knows. I think Trevor wants to be part of the solution.

I think Shotkan wants to be part of the solution. I think Jacksonville Jaguars fans are yearning for a solution. And you move on from Trampolky, I assume Jacksonville Jaguars fans are yearning for a solution. And you move on from Trampolky, I assume Jacksonville Jaguars fans say, okay, all right, here we go. You know, I think they're probably excited, AJ. I think you're probably pumped out there and dooo

voo That's a cool champ. It is. They got great mascot. He should be jam. If they offered to Robert, so he's definitely taking the gig. Like you can't, he doesn't know if he's ever gonna get another head coaching opportunity Like you got to take that if they offer to Joe Brady may yes

If if if we don't know Pete Carroll if if if the Raiders offer him the job man Pete would be interesting if I was a If I was a team trying to bring in a coach, especially plays like Jacksonville I would definitely bring Pete in and see just kind of see how it feels with him there And they've done something of the past you know Coughlin obviously he's vastly different than Pete but they have had older successful coach been around as a consultant and as a coach down there in Jacksonville. Pete Carroll being a head coach he's being linked to Las Vegas at the moment not that that's real people have been linked to places a lot of different times and then

obviously as offers change as situations change things can change. It's a fluid Situation but what we're being told in hearing out of Las Vegas is that Tom Brady's running that shit. This isn't like a Tom Brady's just flying the wall. No, this isn't like oh, how does this go? What we're being told is Tom Brady is the one asking questions Tom Brady is the one kind of conducting the interviews Tom Brady's the one that is kind of figuring out. What's the right way? What's wrong? That's just from our source Say is AJ which I think is why Mark Davis wanted him in there so much But once again, this is gonna feed the narrative about this guy's actual owner. We want

What he's comments? What are we? What are we doing? It's like it's Tom Brady. It's the greatest of all time We should like that he's back in the game, but I don't think a lot of us expected him to act as if he is owner of Raiders. We assume this is just gonna be an investment type thing, go shake hands type thing. They're hiring now and he's very active is what we're being told AJ Hawk. Well if you're Mark Davis why would you run through the whole process of bringing Tom in? We know you had to go through all this stuff, get it okayed and everything. Why would you do that if you didn't want Tom's input?

I mean, the dude's paying to come in there and let you know his opinion on what's going on, I guess. So yeah, of course. Well, I want Tom in on the interviews if I'm Raiders guy. Absolutely, and I guess I should have expected that, but I didn't think that's how the NFL ever goes. Like there's minority owners all over the place. People have a percentage of a team percentage of a team percentage of team Dave

Tepper used to be one has let me speak like a lot of these guys Go from being minority owners to teams to being okay now they know the business they're in with the NFL They've shaken the hands they can get approved they can get the money they can own a team It's like in this particular case It's like Tom Brady hard to get through because the value in which Mark Davis wanted to give it To Tom which I think was a discounted value little hometown Discount for Tom Brady to get in there which once again we as players love give the greatest player of all time a little bit of you know

Relevancy in ownership matters and how the league is gonna run we like that we like that a lot But I didn't I thought it was gonna be I didn't think Mark Davis would be like Yeah, I mean you only you're running. That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get the goat. I know you know I mean, and I should have expected I guess we should have expected it to be this way But like what we're being told is like hey welcome to my office Well, we thought he goes don't you think he goes usually get in the way with like I know I don't Tom can come in and be Minority owner, but that's what he is. He doesn't have any say in what we do So I give him credit for actually listening to Tom's opinion think about the other minority owners of the Raiders going like well

How come we don't yeah fucking Tom? Well, are you Tom Brady? Yeah, what's your name? Well, well that person has to have enough money to be a percentage owner of an NFL. So I was in there ego very large Yeah, so I ain't throw touchdowns. Okay, I only started a company that fucking saved 10,000 people's lives You know like the egos at that level with that amount of money because everybody you would think is successful or comes from a family That is very successful those people obviously haven't proved anything So I'm not saying that but like Tom Brady running I think is good thing for the Rays not a bad thing I think this is a good thing for the Raiders not bad at all I think it's a great thing because if you if you have a guy that has

Won everywhere that he's been literally that was the whole narrative when he went to Tampa. Can you do it without bill? for the Raiders not bad at all. I think it's a great thing, because if you have a guy that has won everywhere that he's been, literally, that was the whole narrative when he went to Tampa, can you do it without Bill? He does it without Bill. He has seen the way it's supposed to be run. He has been in an organization where they had players that won it and what it takes to win it, and so why would you not listen to this guy?

He understands everything about winning. And that's why he was calling Lambeau, Bill potentially saying, hey, this is my first time really. It's my first owner cycle here. We got to hire a lot. What should I be asking? What should I not be asking? He's very well researched.

Everybody knows that. I think they're going to get it right maybe. You don't have a quarterback, but they're going to maybe get it right over there. Obviously huge. You talk about ego, shit. Mark Davis, you want to win. You know, Al Davis, like they won're gonna maybe get it right over there. Obviously huge. You talk about ego, shit. Mark Davis, you wanna win. You know, Al Davis, like, they won.

You know, just win, baby. They won Super Bowls. They won eight. Like, that is who made that iconic. Like, that's an iconic brand worldwide. So if you're Mark Davis, you wanna win and kind of take your own era. So I can see him definitely stepping back and let Tom run the show. Imagine people interviewing, walking in.

Mark Davis sitting down down Tom's sitting down Who do I say hi to first? Mr. Davis gonna see what mark goes fucking him buddy. Yeah, I'm out of here. All right, Mr. Brady just here for fun. Yeah Yeah, sitting in a corner playing Gameboy during the interviews. No, he's taking notes. I doubt it Tom. How do I beat this guy? Boy during the interviews. No, he's taking notes. I doubt it Tom. How do I beat this guy? You guys got that one. I would want to out it There is a gaming console out there that has stolen everything from every other company and is in your hands correct and it's the goat Just popped up in my elbow. It is the goat. I can't believe they're still getting away with that I thought it was a game boy myself. Yeah, but it is

I can't believe they're still getting away with that. I thought it was a Gameboy myself. Yeah, but it is Like a game boy, but it is switch Gameboy. There's no way they're paying royalties for all the games Straight off the black market. There's like a thousand games in this thing right in movies 21,000 I bumped that up 20, but basically got every game from every console ever 110 bucks maybe that's what I'm saying I don't like to we're even talking about right now because there's no way that this thing is Supposed to exist worth every penny, but it's like shown that they got ads for these things and it's like look at this We've taken everybody's shit. Great battery.

You can have it now for the rest of time. They got movies in there too, right? In there like some movie stuff. Who makes it? No movies. We will not reveal who makes it. But there are enough games in there to last you a lifetime. Yeah.

Is this black market? Like that stuff? No, it's being marketed. Like it's in Best Buy or something. No, no, no. It's like an Instagram ad. You can buy it on Amazon. I think it comes from the makers of TikTok.

Pretty close. I don't know anything about that. You do. What? Uh-uh. Sounds like you might. Sounds like you might. Yeah, and I know that you do.

So do you. No, I don't. Yeah, you do. I did not. I asked you what it is. It's not Putin. I don't think. I asked you think I asked you I asked you well We're discovered you guys both said she she knees easy pink

No, we said no we we do know how it got here didn't come in a you know red flag communist box I know that that's kind of a dead giveaway you saw so I assume it was a United States mate. I assume this gave jobs to American workers. Oh, is that right? I assume whoever did create this thing had the idea like, is he going to spread freedom and justice? There is a lot of joy, I will say, to whoever made this, maybe in China.

No, again, I don't think this is a Shanghai province type situation. I think this is a very- Are you guys sure of that? It sounds like you guys- Not sure, but again- I'm not positive But I'm not leaning on that. Yeah, I wouldn't I mean I'm not gonna be sinking a bunch of hours into some Chinese game

I'm not grabbing this thing saying ni hao wa okay. I'm grabbing this thing saying. Thank you America country of origin for this thing China That's not the one I okay. I was gonna say let me see the one Country of origin for this thing, China. That's not the one I bought. Okay, I was gonna say, let me see. That's not the one I bought. It's mine. It's in my, mine's got 256 gigs, mine's 128. Boom. Amen.

Scroll up. That's not the one I have. If you get on Amazon, you should be okay, right? That has 30,000 games, mine only has 15,000. The, walking onto the plane and you both just having your head down on this thing. I was like, what is this thing? Game Boy?

They're like, on Super Steroids, brother. And then you, I think, said 20,000 games on this thing. I was like, what games? Crap games? All of them. What games? All the games. Everyone played Top Gun.

I was like, how is this thing even created? How is this thing even created? We don't care Yeah, you know link I bought it and I got it forever. Mm-hmm and had a good battery left You guys played the whole flight. Yeah, I mean I forgot to charge it actually for this upcoming trip to Atlanta 8% last to me two days

What's going on with these things? I look as powerful. It's crazy. They thought tick-tock was disappearing and these things showed up What's going on with these things? I look as powerful. It's crazy. They thought tick tock was disappearing and then these things showed up. Hmm. This has no connection to the internet. So this is just, hey, you want to have some fun? It has no connection to the internet.

No, no. It all comes all preloaded all that old school spyware. What is the old school spy? They'll have to come pick it up at some point. There's a card in there. It has some shit before it in it. Certainly did. I mean, look, I've taken this through customs, so I know it's good.

Okay. All right. Well, I'm happy you guys found something that makes you happy. Isn't it certainly I mean look I've taken this through customs, so I know it's good Okay, all right. Well, I'm happy you guys found something that makes you happy no matter where it's from Oh if I found out word if it's from where we were talking about I'll fucking destroy that thing this afternoon It's it is from there. No way. I'm under the impression. Mine was made in Sweden so So that's your truth that's my truth until I hear otherwise so he thinks it's America you know mine only has 15,000 games this has 20,000 that screams Sweden so I mean that would make more sense got Swedish gaming device yeah I'm happy you guys found that. International gaming device.

Exactly right. International gaming device. Universal. A lot of happiness has been brought through that. Speaking of happiness, let's get better at ball. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for two segments that make us all better every single week. We're thankful for there's only a couple weeks left of this. So we've got to enjoy every single play that is highlighted or maybe even low light that is brought to attention. It is time for OG in the trenches. With Hank Yoush, please.

Hank Yoush. Here we go, boys. Koush, what are we doing? We're going in the trenches of the divisional round? We are, and let's take a look at this, and this is why I love this, right? It's third and four, you guys see that in the bottom right? Third and four, so they go overload

because they think this is going to be a pass. This is one of the best calls versus pass We got two linebackers up. Let's just watch Makai back to number 77 throw him. Oh throw his ass on the ground Go see you later. Okay, Makai back in six seven. I believe he's 350 or something. How 60? That's right It's supposed to be a tackle. They move him into guard. This is Stoutland University type move This is no, this is just being an absolute unit This is six seven three fifty and just using your absolute strength the one thing I love about this If we go first of all McKay Bekton was a throwaway from another team and he comes to Stoutland you and becomes a dog

But this is what we have become Used to seeing let's watch Lane Johnson right now hand up gone. He knows it every time He does it every single time when there's still people able to make a tack, we just know as soon as it's through the first part, Saquon's gone. So Tuni goes from guard, body type, to tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. Mackay goes from tackle, body type, to guard.

Which one's harder there? Because I feel like on the inside, you've got to be lower. Isn't that kind of the lower thing? And Mackay has played guard fantastically at six. He's got to be the biggest guard in the NFL gotta be by far him and file a lay, right? They both are tackles move inside and both have ended up being really good guards It's a lot harder going guard to tackle at the end of the day Tooney has 31 inch arms and he's going out there and going against will Anderson. I mean, he was just getting pressed the whole game I feel bad for him out there because he doesn't deserve to be out there

He's so good inside But when you have the length and you have the size you can get away with a lot of shit playing guard Yeah, but it's a little bit more gritty and grimy on Absolutely, then they moved Tony back this week. No, no, they got to stick with the continuity at this point You just got a role. This is the group that's together. I can't wait to your can't see Chiefs offensive line Yeah, they make it cuz they don't have any highlights on this should be real. Let's just be real. You know, who does have a lot of land in Dickerson Whoa another one and this is going back to last year. We haven't shown many of these this year the old Guy loops out target locked go get some ribs. Here we go. Let's watch land in Dickerson come across help

Take one throw his ass on the ground. She's always takes out sake one. Yeah Take one throw his ass on the ground. She's always takes out sake one. Yeah Yeah, I like that you're looking for work especially in the gritty Philadelphia team, but what shake on the pump fake I got both me Take one appreciates that I know he got his leg a little bit there at the end, but he appreciates that It's his cowlis will take this guy out of here. We got next here a huge we got the commanders We got the G scheme first of all, Cliff Kingsbury calling unbelievable games. He's fearless. He's aggressive awesome It sucks that they lost Sam Cosme. They're gonna run pull both guards here first guy kick out second guy underneath Let's watch him throw him out the club. See you later. She's don't want any part of Sam Cosme teasing peas 20 CL sucks Yeah, first round pick I think second maybe first or second round pick out of Texas couple years ago

He's become a very good guard. That's a big loss for them. Cliff Kingsbury Not always like all in on protection and run game, right? You should be just pass guy Yeah, he was he was all in on pass really didn't give a shit about the run game But Bobby Johnson comes from the Giants I think they are working very well understands the run games every bit to help the pass game and they've done very well with that Let's go to the fourth quarter here with the commanders off. We got another one. So Foxy you remember there were blitz on the shit out of them They were actually doing decent job stopping the run so here

We do we block the guard down get the center around and then you get a huge hole Austin Eckler This was a critical play in the game fourth quarter big chunk play creating a big gaping hole Did they out physical the Detroit Lions that is the key to every team that won this week and as we get further into the Buffalo Bills we will talk all about physicality. But yes, Washington commanders played physical on both sides of the ball and that's why they won. Usually which is the team

that's the most physical wins every game. Let's go in the trenches with the Buffalo Bills as you just pointed out. Deon Dawkins' split is hilarious. Hilarious and his stance is hilarious, but the reason why I got this clip on, we just got to talk about the chop and I'm fucking sick of it. I am sick of it. I talk about it over and over again. You chop the inside arm and then that dipshit in the back left throws a flag at him for no reason. This is not a foul.

This is using the defender's weight against them. You chop the inside arm, These two tackles are better than everybody in the league. It is a part of playing offensive line. Work smarter, not harder. Chop their ass down. Stop throwing flags. It was so casual by Dawkins. Yeah. Let me post. He posts them with his left hand. Boom. And then right hand chops them down. Never once grabbed, never once even grabbed the jersey a little bit. AQ, what's the rules say on this? What do the refs claim? They keep, all they do, this is what they do, they scan, they scan, they scan, and whenever you see that, a lot of times they think it's just a jerk pull down, and when that happens they scan, they see somebody on the ground, it's like, oh, where's my little yellow thing so I can throw it at somebody, look like a dipshit. Hey, Bills Moffey,

let's amplify this a little bit here because this is something that needs to be heard. We've tried to spotlight this earlier in the year This is a Dion Dawkins move. He's a special special player with this. Absolutely takes timing takes power takes precision It's not just like any dipshit can do this particular move. Dion Dawkins is a a highly skilled Chopper and it's a he even like tries to help him down almost. It's like the casualness of it all It's a very skilled move. People claim that he grabbed the jersey there. There's no no no. What the explanation was, I've seen this in slow-mo, but his left hand gets the inside of his chest plate and pulls and pulls with the chop. Yeah, so that's why. You can't tell from that. It was a smooth pull. Yeah, you can kind of because when he starts to fall his arm goes with him. his left hand rather goes with him

But again, I agree the chop is great and they should not let this and I call full bullshit on that because I just think His left hand's there and it just follows as the guy goes down. I don't think there's anything yanking down Well, and also I think his finger kind of gets stuck in it as it's going down But they're mad at offense lineman for not getting their hands inside He actually has his hand in the middle of this guy's chest. That's exactly where you're trying to go, right? Within the framework. That's correct.

And Spencer Brown has copied this move and has become great at it too as the right tackle. This is a very big move for both these guys. Here's the other reason why it's bullshit whenever you try and take this move away. Whenever a defender has to deal with this, now instead of them leaning and all the bull rush, it kind of takes that out because they don't want chopped and thrown on the ground. It's a good play. Let's not just ruin it, okay, refs? It's like a full back cut in you.

AQ, it's like a full back cut in the back or sometimes. It'll make them think twice next time you're coming in there full go, right? With your head down, trying to kill them. Also have a little balance. Yeah, stay on your feet. I don't care, Snow. Yeah, because like, you know,

just like AQ used to do in high school whenever he was a basketball hall of famer in Western Pennsylvania, you start leaning a little bit, we'll just kind of move the chair out, bang, you're down. That's exactly what you and Dawkins is doing. That's exactly right. We love him too, smell me?

Love him. He's got the snow goggles on. Oh yeah, he is playing loose, loose. I mean, he's hitting 10 yard splits. Yeah, that's insane. It's insane. He's awesome. He's awesome, awesome.

On the line of scrimmage, all the way out like a slot. Yeah. Yeah, they talk about an island, this is welcome to Dawkins Island. That's where you're at. You could potentially get chopped at the line of scrimmage, all the way out like a slot. Yeah. Yeah, they talk about an island, this is welcome to Dawkins Island. That's where you're at. You could potentially get chopped at the end of the day. We need them to stop calling it. That's a good play by Dawkins.

Great play. All right, let's stay with the Buffalo Bills offensive line. We got QB power at the end of the first half. This was a huge play, kind of a dagger. Puts him up 21 to 10. Let's take a look at his counterpart, right tackle, Spencer Brown. Boom, throws his ass across,

and then gets up on the second level. Josh Allen walks in, says, get off me, boys boys game over. How do you feel about the power for Josh Allen? They used it a lot so did uh Riley Leonard in Notre Dame. Listen I love it as like a change up and listen when you got him who's 6'7'' 250 and can always get you four or five it's always got to be an option. It always has to be an option especially in the playoffs. Josh Allen uh not scared at all to run the power either. No. Josh Allen just spoke at a press conference either earlier today or yesterday about that play

where there was almost a pitch back. And he admitted that, you know, younger Josh probably does make that pitch. Yeah. And it did cross his mind. It certainly was. And then he said he saw a hand come into his framework, which was that guy on the other side

who could have snagged that thing and went, and he decided to hold on, go down. Josh Allen's playing his best football. We always thought to ourselves, Josh Allen was a prototype, but he always has his bonehead place. He'll just make a play where it's like, Josh, you don't need to do that, you don't need to do that. But Josh was trying to make a play

because every play was supposed to be a touchdown. Now he's like, mature, he's ready. This Bills team feels, Josh feels ready, the Bills team feels ready, but we said that before and it's still the Chiefs. I will say this, this is the last thing I want to say about this offensive line. When you play the Baltimore Ravens, they got the number one run defense, they got Big Pierce weighing 400 in the middle, they got boys in the middle of that defensive line that want to bully you.

They out physicaled them. The Buffalo Bills went 6-0 linemen and just took it to them. When it came time to run in duo in the fourth quarter and just running downhill you Watched their offensive line taking Baltimore's defense a line and moving this way sweet All right. Now, let's get the AFC the back-to-back Super Bowl champions can't see chiefs where they go They have any highlight. Nope. They got zero highlights. I watched the film twice couldn't find a single clip not one Not a one. They're good though. I don't know why. They're back to back Super Bowl champs. They are good. Number one seed in the AFC. No, the team is good. The team is good. Their offensive line is not playing well right now. Period. They are not

getting movement. They're getting, both tackles are getting pressed in the pocket. Mahomes is running around like crazy. They're ad livin' with Kelsey so they're making enough plays and they're doing enough in situational football, and they're playing great defense, and they're out coaching. When you guys beat him in the Super Bowl, it was the offensive line, right? It was their offensive line,

and it was specifically the tackles, because the same interior three were great. Our whole move was we're gonna put Vitovaya, and I forget who, Will Goldstone on the outside, we put the two edge rushers, Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul, collapse the tackles, get them to roll out the two edge rushers Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre Paul Collapse the tackles get him to roll out into Pierre Paul and Shaq Barrett and then he's running for his life Todd Bulls JPP had a big game. It's big game. Yeah, that's the only time Pat's lost in the Super Bowl. Yeah, I think so. Mm-hmm

Which is crazy that we even have that stat Mm-hmm Only time this guy has lost in the Super Bowl. Like it's not like in a season or his career or anything like that. Like Super Bowl, he has enough Super Bowl games now where we're like, this guy's the only time he lost, they took advantage of it. You remember that Super Bowl a couple years ago

when Pat was in it, just like the one last year, he was in it, just like the one three years ago when he was in it. Like that is what Patrick Mahomes has come accustomed to. Seven straight AFC championships is an insane stat. Yeah, he's only lost three times. my burrow a SC championship and then Brady with the Pats a some championship It's insane. He's on a run not just him the team offensive line. We got faith in even though he does it we got faith That was OG in the trenches. Thank you Shipley. Let's move to the secondary shall we let's go everything DB good deep bad D with Darius J

Butler Let's move to the secondary, shall we? Let's go, everything DB. Good D, bad D with Darius J. Butler. Yes, sir, let's get to it. We're going to start with the Washington Commanders. Had a big, big day against Jared Goff and Detroit Lions. Pause it here. You pause it here. Pre-snap, rewind a little bit, couple frames. Pre-snap, he's showing cover three. Single high, looks like either man to man or cover three

because you have that one middle of the field safety. Post-snap, you're going to rotate, and you'll see it rotate down here to cover to a lot of more been a flat defender You got a safe there with top Kwan Martin and then the depth the depth of that if you run it back real quick Actually, actually let it keep playing because you see the overthrow you see the return great return got a great block by Frankie Louisville Oh Jerry golf this changes the game We talk about cut blocks and and look back blocks when you hit Jared Goff, this changes the game. We talk about cut blocks and look back blocks. When you hit the quarterback like this, this changes the game.

But right here, Jared Goff, the protection up front, great, great pocket, right? They've done this all year. In the intermediate pass game, Jared Goff, especially when protector to coming off play actions, one of the best quarterbacks all year long. But great drops. You look at that defender right there on the hash mark.

He's an underneath defender. And then you have Lattimore, who's the flat defender on the outside. So Jared Goff, you look at that defender right there on the hash mark, he's an underneath defender, and then you have Lattimore, who's the flat defender on the outside. So Jared Goff, you have a check down here on second and 14, LaPorta right there in your face, but he tries to go to the deep one, Patrick, and because of that dropper, he tries to put air on it, put too much air on it.

Always talk about tips and overthrows, you gotta have those, and whenever you get points on the board, it gets an explosive offense and get a hit on that quarterback. Big big time play here from the commanders and it's obviously changed completely changed the outlook of this game. We're talking about the offense for the commanders a lot.

Defense also obviously holding up their end of the bar. Yeah defense making plays and in the playoffs, especially with explosive offense like this turnovers turnovers always matter. They change the game, especially when you can instantly put points on the board like Kwon Martin did Another guy who had a big big big time game Mikey same restore We watched him his last couple games at Michigan whenever they're on their way to win a national championship big big part of that Jesse Minter Defense in Michigan and it's been a big part of his commander's defense this year to interception this one in the quarter coverage

Kind of a fringe area if you pause it here J Mo ton of speed, you got no safety help with this route in quarter coverage. You can kind of see both safeties kind of settling. So as a cornerback, this is a tough, tough position to be in, especially when you have a speedster like J Moe out there because you're outside leverage. So if he runs that post and every quarterback, every coordinator around the league knows it, we got that inside, outside leverage. So for him to undercut that, and you'll see it better from the TV copy, started with outside leverage, stayed open, and then squeezed, and then undercut JMo, you know, you're going to want to put this ball a little bit over the top, maybe

a little more inside, but great, great job by Mikey Sanderson, turning it into the receiver once that ball got in the air. JMo's a weapon, obviously he's an incredible celebrator as well, and I would have loved to see him when he was done. J-Mo's a weapon. Obviously, he's an incredible celebrator as well. And I would have loved to see him when he would have done to score a touchdown. Literally anybody or anything could have got it. But that's a great jump on a play. Great job awareness and great job finishing that play.

Going up there, turning to the receiver, bringing that down. He actually had his second interception, which was from J-Mo on the double pass that Ben Johnson drew up common sense because he was ready to get the hell out of there and get to Chicago. Five total turnovers. Yes. Four picks, three from Jared Goff, one from JML and a fumble.

I mean that's a massive day. Turnovers. Turnovers are going to win you ball games and also stopping the run. You talk about stopping the run, being able to run the ball. Who's the more physical team? Chauncey Gardner Johnson, former Lion. This is a big time play, third and two. So, you know, we're in the fourth down revolution time where it's always you get Some yards here if you get a no game

You maybe go for here get some for a tackle for loss They end up settling for a field goal right here to make it 13 10 I believe at this point in the game big time play if you run it back one more time from that back copy This is tough for DB Yeah, pause it so you got him and Slay down here, they're communicating on these two tight ends, so hey, we're basically combo in and out. So first, in and out signal.

Yep, first one inside, first boom. So me and you, Pat, if I'm Slay, if I'm Slay, yep, I'm Slay and you're CJ, I'm looking at you right now, in and out. So if 87 goes in, whoever goes in, you take him as that inside defender Outside I'll take him if they both come up We'll take him as they come out now once that guy goes across the ball boom

Though his Chauncey Gardner Johnson his run gap his run responsibility moves with 87 wherever 87 goes He has to fit off of his block so he sees 87 make that block inside he immediately shoots his trigger boom Yep, he's going to block. He's got a fit off of that block So a great job by him having discipline understanding where to be in the run game when you are a DB, especially a safety Being able to make stops in the run game is huge, especially in the playoffs. You look at the fucking weather It's a big time play in his game as soon as he saw 87 was not going out for a pass He was blocking you see said, all right, fuck it. Run responsibility. And that's a tough, tough spot to be on third and short,

because everybody's gearing up for the run. It's run. You got big personnel. We got three tight ends on the field. So everyone's thinking run. But we've all seen it. Hard play action. So my extra old lineman, big tight end, he's in the end zone wide open.

Because as a defender, especially a DB DB you also have run game responsibility so a hard fake can kill you so having the confidence to be able to trigger this reading your keys we talked about see a little see a lot you see that one key you make a big-time play love CJGJ being who he says he is always always always what a weapon for them big weapon and you talk about a weapon Jaylen hurts He got banged up. So we'll see how healthy he'll be with this week But him being in that backfill with Saquon is a big part of why their run game is what it is You see the responsibility for defenders now. This is on bad D. If you run it back

Just look at the DB's we just saw Chauncey Gardner Johnson. You have to want to make plays You look at this corner down here, you look at 26 running around blocks, not getting off blocks, guys going underneath my ladder, he can't even find anyone to block. So that to me, if I'm watching on film, you're not interested in tackling. You're not interested in beating a block

and tackling a quarterback. Now Jalen Hurts is a big physical quarterback, but you gotta get him down. So this is a big time play by Jalen Hurts. We'll see how healthy he will be. I think we'll see pretty early on, but he's a big factor in that run game. We talk about being on the edge, coming down here. I love that.

Hey, I love that the Rams defense is going to be able to point at those offseason. Basically be able to be like, hey. Oh yeah. What's this? Our biggest game. No, I'm not saying they did this all year. I think that Young Rams defense has been awesome to watch, kind of develop and come together. But like that play, it's hard to watch. That's hard to watch.

It's very hard to watch. So those guys, those, you dread those moments. And we always talk about cold weather games. That's what shows up. Like you're not interested in hitting big people and hitting the ground. But this is it. Like you play, it, like you win and you go home. So that's the benefit of being one of those

cold weather teams. We're in Philly and now we got a team from LA coming out. You're already mentally thinking, hey, we're gonna be solid in college. Hey, we're gonna be mentally tougher in this team because we're used to these elements. So when you come in and you put some shit like that on film, I'm sure those guys are sick.

But is this another bad D here? Good D here good day you do what do you think? Back beat this looks like the Terry Scott Saw the pregame speech from Terry McClure when they turn that film on you know what they're gonna say do you say you are? When they talk about me is I ride Right he said they go say we some dogs and he is a dog you got four by one Right here. So you got Eckler all set to the trip side now If you just leave it pause here for Jay and Daniels, this is a quick boxery. This is first and ten So he's just saying okay right now. I got three over three up top. You got branch

You got the corner you got another safety. So we got three defenders over three wide receivers So if I throw it out there, it's two on two and they're almost like an Oklahoma drill. Now you got a one-on-one tackle. But once Brian Branch gets into, so right now he was he started in what we call the apex, right? So that's basically splitting. We see Caleb Downs do this a lot. You split the bunch and you split the run so that you can still have a run fit. But he blitzes. So he gives Jayden Daniels the answer. Now the math is on our side. Now we got three on two. I just get it out to my playmaker we make two blocks hit it up the middle to shoot Kirby Joseph is not gonna be able to catch him got out ran there So you talk about this play you draw it up. This is one of those Friday plays you script for success

Hey, bring the blitz. It's gonna be three or two out there. He's gonna block outside He's gonna block inside Terry McClellan is gonna hit the shoot great job great execution and just making it thrown in letting Terry scary Terry be special Can you go be out? Run this. Run this. There's somebody that is the entire face of Detroit here at the end of this. I'll tell you when to pause it. Scary Terry's going. Scary Terry's rolling. Pause. There's gonna be a dude that's about to show up. Right here. Look at this guy. Play. What was he saying?

Bummed out. Yikes. What was he saying? That's no good. He's bummed out. That was a hold. No good. I think he was saying we're fucked.

So it's fucking over. It's over. It's a called run too. That was a called run. Good check budget. So that's why Cliff does that. If you guys noticed how the bunch was super wide Because you have to declare when you blitz so that when you run the RPO like that

He knows he has to come because that bunch super wide you can't blitz from all the way out there How about Jayden in the biggest moment making the play? Yeah, get right play so quickly. He's the guy He is the guy. That's the thing you see with him, especially with young quarterbacks, even sometimes old quarterbacks. Russ was on today and one of the things that I think a lot of Steelers fans or people that watch him a lot would say, hey, you just want to be more decisive. Whether you throw the ball away, whether you decide to run, whether you make a throw. And that's what you see from Jaden Daniels.

And you don't typically see that as a young quarterback. I mean, quarterback, especially in the biggest moments, always so calm and collected and then very decisive. Huge downs, third downs, fourth downs, always so calm and collected and then very decisive. Huge downs, third downs, fourth downs, two minute drill, doesn't matter, just very, very decisive. Throw the ball, throw the check down, throw it away, run, just make a decision and make it quick. Tom Rinaldi's mind blown.

Holy shit. All right, we have some breaking news on the NFL. New England Patriots have officially hired Coach Williams, former defense align coach for the Detroit Lions and defensive run game coordinator for the Detroit Lions is now the defensive coordinator for the Patriots. Vrebo's putting his staff together, Conner. Yeah, they go all the way back. I guess Terrell Williams was actually named associate head coach in Tennessee when variable was there

I actually let him be the head coach for a few preseason games Oh, yeah during his run with the Titans obviously McDaniel's we talked about being the OC that was kind of assumed immediately I believe they brought in a few other guys from Tennessee the other guys Water guys Tony Mountain do he is also coming in. He's the running backs coach and then I believe his Ernie Adams is coming over from the Rams. Like they are slowly starting to put everything together keeping the same special teams coordinator because that group was so good this year. Jeremy Springer. So yeah the the team's taking shape feel very good about it and you know we talked about this morning still have like a hundred and twenty eight million dollars in cap space

So moves will be made and variable will be leading the charge supreme commander variable is you know kind of getting it going now? We are gonna do a full salary cap dive tomorrow in the program because where the cap is where it has been in the history The NFL and who has what for this upcoming offseason? Obviously very important conversations. Oh, yeah. And we'll do some journalism on that tomorrow. All right. D-Block, great work this week. Hey, baby. Hey, Q. What a time by you.

You really did well out here today. Thanks, guys. You said you don't believe in the Chiefs because your offensive line. But then in the same mouth said, Eagles have best offensive linemen, they're not going to win. So never ends. I never know what to believe. This guy. I never know what to do with you. Snip, snap, snip, snap.

I got a great offense line. Who? Philly. But. Okay. Quarterback can't throw over the middle. Geez. Damn it.

This guy. He's a dirtbag. Just saying. We'll find out if he can or not. Sure will. No better time to do it than the NFC Championship, Jalen Hurts, as you guys host the Washington commanders and on the NFC side, Chiefs and Bills. We've got two great games this weekend.

Thank you for everything, AQ. Before we get out of here, you want to do a contest, maybe a giveaway? Because we only got a couple weeks left here and we haven't had a lot of winners. Let's do it. What are you going to do? You're going to throw a ball? I'm going to win today. Are you?

Yes, you are. Okay. AQ, where did that ball land that you hit back to those motherfuckers? Yeah. It went over them. I think so right? Yeah it went over them. I think it did. You hit it pure, I mean it was fucking stroked.

It was the second one on that hole that you drove so it was like a mulligan. Sure. Angry AQ. Second team All-American. Yeah. Always. A lot of pressure though. If he doffs that when he's super pissed trying to hit that group, that's a tough look Well think about me being there too. Like I just you know, yeah, he would have done that But I would have obviously reminded him of what just took place, you know I feel like I'm good in those situations

You know, it's kind of pointing out the things that are taking place right now in front of all of us Like this is what life is right now. It was a magical moment though. It really was they did not hit into us again Yeah, we had our own course It was a magical moment though, it really was. They did not hit into us again. They stayed way back. Yeah, they did. We had our own course. Felt like we had our own course. Yeah, just shut it down. Yeah, normally people plug it or cover it with grass.

You said, ah, let's send one back. Let's return fire, fire with fire. And you certainly did. They never expect one coming back up the fairway. Ever. Ever. No. That's like a sneak, that's like art of war.

That is, that's right. Yeah. You let them know real quick where you stand. Yeah, you have no idea how, you might've been the only person ever hit a golf ball that way on that fairway first time I've ever where did I also from where'd you learn it from? I don't know, but I also always felt real confident myself at the fact that I was uh You guys remember the offseason me. I was always 330 maybe maybe pushing 340. There was nobody coming to Yeah, yeah, you would have handled your big

We're just too but I mean we would figure it out obviously I think if it would have went down But like that's a good question D. But where did you get that from? I was I was shocked by the move. I was oh Shit seen that. Yeah, where did you pick that? I go zero to a hundred real quick In everything. Yeah, but when did you when did you think to yourself? You know what? Let's return fire like I think after the first one you okay. You didn't you didn't let you didn't learn your lesson Okay, sounds good. It was and then another one comes by it was an awesome moment time to teach us All right, here we go. That was before social media, too I thought for sure it would have been a golf course golf course fight

But instead we got treated like royalty. I scared the absolute shit out of those. Yeah, that'll be the new move going forward Oh, it's a good one fire back fire back Good one. Listen to who wants to return fire who struck it today Oh, yeah, who wants to send one over it cuz even if you're bombed over their head they realize yeah Oh, yeah, oh shown. Oh, they're better golfers in us, too Yeah, if you said he's seen it before though. AJ, you've seen that before? Oh yeah, I've been in groups where that has happened. Yeah.

I haven't done it, but I've watched dudes do it, yeah. AJ doing that with his ball. Probably hit the guy behind him. No, I'm usually the guy, I've accidentally hit into people a lot. Yes, yeah, we know. Well, you know, sometimes there's holes where it's like, there's a hill and they go over a hill

and I think they're way gone and all of a sudden they're only 200 yards and I drive 150 yards over their head then they get upset There's video reporting of coop Watching the Eagles win this past weekend. Is that right? Oh He's staying up in a sweet clap in his ass off good for coop Good for coop dude had two jackets on I do do believe. If I can recall, good thumbs up, big clap. Atta baby Coop.
