Starting point is 00:01:39 on the other side of Earth, Con Man. Yeah, pretty incredible. The NFL, the Rams in particular, are heading over to Melbourne, Australia to play a football game in 2026. I assume all the players on that team heard that and said, son of a bitch, I don't want to go all the way to Australia to play a game,

Starting point is 00:01:55 but too bad Roger says you're going, you're going. I also assume hopefully either today or tomorrow, we might get a Dublin Ireland game in 2025 perhaps. I know they're already going to Spain. That was announced that first game ever going over there next season. Hopefully we add Ireland to the dock. Yeah. Our source says say that that announcement should be coming.

Starting point is 00:02:18 Right? Oh yeah. Look, I talked to some people, some big wigs. Okay. Now I'm not saying big wigs because the size of heads of the people. Of course. One of one of them, but I'm not saying big wig like Gary V. I'm saying big wig like McQuaid and we can only say his name once or twice.

Starting point is 00:02:34 Cause if we say it three times, he might appear, but they're going Ireland path. Whoa. They certainly are. And before we even get started, I did not know this was going to happen. This early congrats to the NFL taking a game, a regular season game to Australia. Players are going to hate that. Nuts. Coaches are going to hate that.

Starting point is 00:02:49 Going to definitely need a vacation or bye week after that. No doubt. Because that's a long trip. But I've heard nothing but great things about Australia. Especially that Melbourne cricket grounds. Huge. And obviously they play in the AFL. A man who has electrified crowds all around the globe,

Starting point is 00:03:06 ladies and gentlemen, Seth Freakin' Rollins. Wow. What up, guys? Check it. What up? Seth, I'm so thankful we're able to chit chat with you. I saw you burying Hulk Hogan earlier on Good Morning. Oh, no, no.

Starting point is 00:03:17 I just said people get what they deserve. I didn't bury nobody, all right? I gave him an opening. You gave him some openings the other day. I other day. He didn't want to take them. I don't know what to tell you. How are you feeling, brother? How is the energy of this radio road? It's picking up. It's picking up.

Starting point is 00:03:32 I got here early in the morning. It was a little slow, but now it's picking up. Feeling good. Talking football, talking wrestling. Dave, we got elimination chamber coming up in Toronto. Obviously all eyes are on that. What is your mindset on right now as we're in the middle of the road to WrestleMania? Well, I gotta get into the chamber, that's my mindset.

Starting point is 00:03:48 I got a qualifying match in a couple weeks, Raw on Netflix myself versus Finn Balor. You know how it goes, you were there this week, you saw CM Punk qualify. I did? So CM Punk in the chamber, we don't love that. No, we don't. John Cena in the chamber.

Starting point is 00:03:59 We love that, we love John, finally John. John didn't even qualify. It's crazy. I just said he's in it. It's embarrassing. John Cena, I'm doing it. I'm like, all right, I get it. Have you thought about doing that maybe? You know what?

Starting point is 00:04:09 I've tried that. They don't let it don't flow with me. But I'm a guy that likes to earn my way in. Oh, yeah. I like a fight. I like a good fight. Blue collar Iowa guy. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 00:04:18 You understand it. So yeah, Midwest boy. I like a good fight. Get me in there. Let's go. So I got a fight in a couple of weeks. We'll get in there and then I'll worry about Punk and Cena, worrying about getting to the main event of WrestleMania.

Starting point is 00:04:27 Okay, if you get into the Elimination Chamber and you win the Elimination Chamber, you get the other champion at WrestleMania that the Royal Rumble winner, who obviously Jey Uso doesn't choose. So the Elimination Chamber, massive ordeal. That gets you into the main event of WrestleMania. And let's pivot to football. The team that you love,

Starting point is 00:04:43 are they ever gonna be in the main event of WrestleMania. And let's pivot to football. The team that you love, are they ever gonna be in the main event of anything? No. Come on. It's a new era. All right, Colts. All right, Colts, where you at? Yeah, exactly. We're not talking about the Bears right now.

Starting point is 00:04:56 Pick it up, all right? How do you feel about Chicago Bears? The future in Chicago is bright, a lot brighter than it is in Indianapolis. Okay. Understand that, okay? We got Ben Johnson, we got Dennis Allen, we got Caleb Williams. Things are looking up, let's go.

Starting point is 00:05:08 We got draft capital, we got actual capital money ready to go for free agency. It's gonna be a good year, I feel good about it. Same ownership though, does that worry you? I mean, what, they're not coaching the team. Look, the McCaskys finally wrote the check. They wrote the check, man. They got the big fish.

Starting point is 00:05:25 They got Ben Johnson. So look, in Chicago, we live on potential. That's what we've been doing. Off season's our favorite time of year, all right? But this year's gonna be different. He can't even get out of his mouth. That's unbelievable. This year's gonna be different.

Starting point is 00:05:38 I'm looking forward to it, man. I think it's gonna be a good year. Schedule's tough next year, though. Schedule's really tough next year. So we'll see what happens, but let's go. Let's ride. Dabersh. We appreciate it, Helladay.

Starting point is 00:05:48 Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you guys. WWE superstar. That's me. He's a visionary. He's a revolutionary. He is Seth Freakin' Rowley. Thank you guys. Thank you so much. Good to see you, man. All much. Good to see you man.

Starting point is 00:06:06 Alright, back to the talk table. One Iowa man to another. He's a Chicago Bears fan from Iowa. You're a Green Bay Packers fan from Iowa. Boys, I don't know if you've seen on the internet, Green Bay Packers splitting at the seams. Josh Jacobs running back for the Packers. Obviously only over there one year,

Starting point is 00:06:22 but had a hell of a year for the Packers. Became their offense. In an interview he said, you know, we're still there one year, but had a hell of a year for the Packers, became their offense. In an interview, he said, you know, we used to be the number one wide receiver, that's all. Dontavian Wicks goes, ha ha ha, I don't think so. What is that? That's a wide receiver for the Packers saying, I already am the number one wide receiver or Josh Jacobs and Dontavian Wicks going to get into a fist fight? Does Matt LaFleur have any control what's going on?

Starting point is 00:06:41 As an owner of the Packers, what the hell's going on? Certainly don't love it, say the least you know Josh Jacobs has been at Radio Row he's been down in New Orleans kind of pining the pavement saying hey there are a couple key positions that we need to improve you know he said I talked to my guy Max Crosby I'm trying to get him to Green Bay I talked to Myles Garrett I said hey this place is awesome you would love playing here now Don Tavian Wicks listen he's a good ballplayer he's a good ball player okay he dropped about 15 to 20 passes last year. He

Starting point is 00:07:08 is not the Packers number one receiver. And I just like him to maybe understand that if they were to go get a T Higgins or something like that, Don Tavion, you're going to benefit from that. Okay. That's going to make your job a hell of a lot easier. They, they need a number one receiver. They do. Jordan Love needs a guy who he can rely on. Now listen, they got a lot of young talent there, but this is the first time they've had money in a long time. We don't need these fishers showing up, you know, cracking at the seams. We need to go out and get a couple of guys. Okay. So that we don't have to worry about the big bad lions anymore. Maybe Josh Jacobs should stop tearing

Starting point is 00:07:41 down his team wrong. Josh Jacobs was the whole offense this year. As far as I'm concerned, as an owner of the Packers, Josh Jacobs can do whatever the hell he wants. He can do whatever the hell he wants. That's if he's right. Are you going to talk to Don Tavian Wicks, or is anybody going to chat with him, or how's that going to go? I think we're going to let him kind of just sit with this,

Starting point is 00:07:58 and then in a couple days, hopefully he realizes, like, man, I, you know. And listen, he's got the sideways emojis with the crying face, so maybe he's just joshing. Maybe he's just like, man, I, you know, and listen, he's got the sideways emojis with the crying face. So maybe he's just Josh and maybe he's just kidding around, but we do need a number one receiver pal. Okay. So let's, let's turn that thumbs down upside down and give a thumbs up.

Starting point is 00:08:15 Okay. That's right. Cause that's good. That's good mentality. Exactly. Exactly. We need more thumbs up, not as many thumbs down. And like I said, he had a great year two years ago,

Starting point is 00:08:25 not so much last year. If you get a guy like T Higgins and he can maybe, you know, move over and be the third option, he's going to have a hell of a year. But he, Don Tavian Wicks is not the number one guy. Okay. All right. Well, I'm happy to hear that's for Ty. You're not worried about the Packers though,

Starting point is 00:08:39 with a little bit of a discontent here? No, no, not at all. Not at all. I mean, this is, you know, if you're a Bears fan, if you're, you know, whatever, like, you make a big deal about what's going on in the off season, worried about, you know, September, okay? When the real games start.

Starting point is 00:08:52 We're not worried about this bullshit. All right, well, let's not talk about the bullshit, let's talk about the awards. Well, some people say they're bullshit if you don't win them, but if you win them, they're obviously the most important thing. Tonight, NFL honors. Let's go to one half of the hammer.

Starting point is 00:09:03 Dab. Cowboys, AP Tone. Offensive Rookie of the Year has already been named. Let's go to one half of the hammer. Don Cowboys, AP tone offensive rookie of the year has already been named. It's Jaden Daniels. He will be joining us here in a few moments. What else should we be looking for tonight? At the NFL honors? Well, this is the NFL honors tonight.

Starting point is 00:09:14 9 p.m. Eastern hosted by Snoop Dogg, the one and only Snoop DLWG. This is the single most important prestigious, well-respected honor show in the entire world saying award show I think yeah yeah you said honor show honor award show this one mean this one means more than any other award show on the planet Grammys prize they got Benson Boone doing flips off a piano that was sick well maybe sick maybe We don't know.

Starting point is 00:09:45 And I respect every winner who walks up to that microphone tonight, just like the Grammys do and the Oscars. They thank the Academy first and foremost. I hope they thank the AP voters first and foremost, because that's what made it possible for these guys. Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Tom.

Starting point is 00:09:59 One of the, is Josh Allen going to be left out of all the awards? Is he not going to win the MVP? Is Lamar going to get another one? Offensive player of the year, who's that going to be? Is it going to be a quarterback, or is it going to be left out of all the awards? Is he not going to win the MVP? Is Lamar going to get another one? Offensive player of the year, who's that going to be? Is it going to be a quarterback? Or is it going to be a running back? Is Saquon going to be left out?

Starting point is 00:10:10 Defensive player of the year, nobody knows who it's going to be. It's an anticipated awards show tonight. I believe they also announced the Hall of Fame tonight as well. OK, speaking of the Hall of Fame, we're going to a nine year NFL vet, big old brain, host of everything, DB, Good D, Bad D, Darius J. Butler. We're looking at the names. Yes, sir. First ballot Hall of Fame, obviously not easy, but of everything DB, good D, bad D, Darius J. Butler, we're looking at the names.

Starting point is 00:10:26 Yes, sir. First Ballot Hall of Fame, obviously not easy, but there's guys on the list, D. Bud. Yeah, obviously the first ballad, that's the crim, crim-della-crim, you know, the absolute best. I actually saw a few Hall of Famers walk by as we were opening up, but that's the best of the best that the league has to offer. They go into eternity. And then we have some guys, a lot of guys who have an opportunity to go in that aren't

Starting point is 00:10:44 first Ballot Hall of Fame. We got a list right here. These are the First Battle of Hall of Fame since 2010. Obviously, none of those names need any introduction. And then the guys that are eligible this year, a couple of my former teammates, Luke Keekeley, Adam Venetary, AQ know about, Marshall Yonda, who's an absolute dog, absolute beast on the field, Sizzle, Terrell Suggs, and Eli Manding, you know, part of the first family of the NFL obviously two times Super Bowl champ. Sorry Connor. So some great names I mean, you know talked about the honor show tonight

Starting point is 00:11:13 I think this is the the best part of it because like I said This is the best of the best that I league have to offer so I'm excited about These guys found it out there get in or not Yeah Shout out and thank you to all the Hall of Famers for everything they've done for a sport, obviously. And there was a log jam there for a while with a lot of different positions. When if you're a first ballader, there's levels to this shit. It's a little bit different. You go through who's made it on the first ballot.

Starting point is 00:11:33 That's the... Yeah, Crandella. That is the tea. So like, is Adam Vinatieri going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer? Should be. Better. If there's any name that would be able to do it as a kicker or as a specialist, Adam Vinatieri's name is synonymous. I think if you were to ask all these dudes that are

Starting point is 00:11:49 first ballot Hall of Famers, like, Hey, I know kicking is a position that maybe isn't always recognized alongside everybody else because of the lack of physical toughness that it takes place, the lack of everything. But Adam Vinatieri, a little bit different, I think they would all go, yeah, Vinatieri could be our kicker for a first ballot Hall of Fame. But there's a lot of people I think that have votes that don't necessarily feel as if a kicker could ever be a first bout Hall of Famers so does that happen and how pissed will we be tomorrow about that probably pretty big if it ends up not happening Eli Manning we assume he's

Starting point is 00:12:16 gonna go in multiple Super Bowls obviously from the Manning family played in New York will he be a first ballot you assume Luke Keighley now that's a guy who changed the game We went through his first he played eight years eight years. It was like first team all-pro He came here came in one defensive rookie here then first team all-pro I believe defensive player year his second year then third and defensive player to your couple years later But all first team or second team all pros pretty much every year He played after his rookie year once Once again, small sample size.

Starting point is 00:12:45 The guy you can compare him to is like Patrick Willis who had to wait. But Luke Keighley, he was one of the best of the best for sure. Patrick Willis five nominees. Yeah, first ballot is a little bit different. I think we need to understand that. Remember that whenever we're looking at these names at the bottom of that first potential first team Hall of Famer first ballot Hall of Famer Marshall first ballot Hall of Famer, Marshall Yonda. Let's go to in the trenches host, AQ Shipley.

Starting point is 00:13:09 AQ, you were teammates with him and also offensive lineman getting in his first ballot Hall of Famer, massive ordeal. Marshall Yonda is the guy, right? Isn't he? He's probably the best interior lineman of this era, of this decade. He was unbelievable.

Starting point is 00:13:21 He was a great help to me. And one of the favorite things that I loved about him was that was the one year that I played offensive guard. So when I moved there, it was a transition for me. And he was the king of telling Gino Gradkowski, just if you need to go to his side, I got it. I got it. I say really helped you really.

Starting point is 00:13:38 I mean, that was the year where they started to bring defensive ends over the DTAC. I mean, over the offensive guards. And so I had Julius Peppers, I had James Harris and Chandler Jones. I mean, it was every DN lining up over me and I got 29 inch arms. I'm like, Gino come to my side, come to my side. Marshall's like, I got it, I got it.

Starting point is 00:13:52 Hey, but everybody thinks that Marshall is like the greatest offensive line, right? Isn't that like kind of the conversation about Marshall Yonda? So I feel like Marshall Yonda is probably a layup from the football people. Cause it's the football people that don't want to kick her in there.

Starting point is 00:14:03 So then you're definitely putting Marshall Yondaonder and then write in that kind of the conversation you have to have. It should be an absolute no brainer. And if he doesn't, it's a travesty. Okay. Well, Vinnie too, like Terry is not even a question. Yeah, that's out of it. It's Harry.

Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah. And like you're talking about like Superbowls and accolades and things like that. Like the guy won Superbowls. It's not like he was hitting, you know, close kicks like in nothing against Buccarer, but the bucker kick against the Eagles, right? I mean, that was a 30 yard field goal. Yeah. Like 47, 47 and back when 50 was the 60 yard field goal when 50 was absurd to think about. And he hits a 47 yard field goal as massive underdogs against the Rams. And when the Patriots were not supposed to even know be in the conversation, the snow game in that same playoff run, like he has the moments. I feel like we talk about with hall of famers, like what kind of moments do they have all

Starting point is 00:14:53 the time leading score in a sport that revolves around points and who wins and losses. He has the most amount every big moment he was given. He showed up for let alone the game winner in the super bowl, the snow kick. And then as soon as he goes to Indianapolis, somehow Peyton's able to get over to hump big moment he was given, he showed up for, let alone the game winner in the Super Bowl, the snow kick. And then as soon as he goes to Indianapolis, somehow Peyton's able to get over to hump and win the Super Bowl that year. So it's like the guy only wins. He almost had a perfect year and he played for 24 years.

Starting point is 00:15:14 So it's like, I don't... Who else is kind of responsible to get, cause we know the players, obviously they got to do their job and then AP votes, you know, that always matters. The Pro Bowls, the AP votes. So like who else plays a big role in getting these guys in? It's like a local reporter that's chosen to represent the teams.

Starting point is 00:15:30 For the Colts, it's Chappell. Yup, been there forever. Mike Chappell's been around for a very long time. Took a long time for Freeney to get in. Long time. So I actually started saying like, we can't get Freeney in, who's the person talking? They're like, well, Chapp's the one talking.

Starting point is 00:15:41 I'm like, well, is was chap in there like selling or because I assume there's people selling in there for their people. Yeah, I assume that it's areas getting in. I mean, anybody with a brain was so mad at the right first about all of them. But if he doesn't, I mean, there's a chance I'm gonna get pretty loud. Okay, I'm gonna get pretty loud about it. But it's not just him. Reggie's up for I mean, it's multiple times for Reggie.

Starting point is 00:16:01 It's like, there's a lot of teams and a lot of people that have been on the like kind of outside looking at, I'm not saying Vinny or if they are, there's going to be a conversation for had, but I don't know the whole process of getting in. But I think that local reporter that represents is a big job. Massive ordeal. Yeah. So, chap. Yeah, let's get Vinny in. You just got to get these guys. I mean, we just like a couple of these guys like Yonda and Vinny.

Starting point is 00:16:24 It was just unanimous right here. Everyone, and granted, like you guys played, we didn't, but you know, like watch Vinny for his entire career. 25 years, 24, whatever the hell it was. Exactly, like Yonda, if he's not a first ballot hall famer, I'm going to flip over a craps table at Caesars tonight. Don't do it.

Starting point is 00:16:39 We might need a little, I will. Shake some up. Mix it up. Should have flipped it over last time when everybody was getting absolutely stunned. Yeah. Seven card, 21 in our face.

Starting point is 00:16:49 Can't happen. Like Kayla last night. Just act like it was normal too. Just right in our face. Oh, sorry about it. Yeah, all your money everybody. Coming this way. We donated in New Orleans last night in a big way.

Starting point is 00:17:00 Speaking of donating, Ohio State is giving an 87 and.5 million contract to Ryan Day. Congratulations Ryan Day. Signed a seven year extension averaging $12.5 million per. Quick math, $87.5 million to he. They also named offense coordinator Brian Heartline, who we had been chit chatting about as wide receiver coach, great recruiter. Now he will officially be the offense coordinator after Chip Kelly. Lady, he's with us. He looks like a murderer, but, great recruiter. Now he will be the officially be the offensive coordinator after Chip Kelly.

Starting point is 00:17:25 Lady, he's with us. He looks like a murder, but he's with us. That's Bill almost just got kicked out of here. Brian Heartline was up for some other jobs. Chip Kelly goes to Las Vegas. Now he is Brian Heartline's offensive coordinator. AJ Hawk, who is a college football national champion with the Ohio State, the all time leading tackler

Starting point is 00:17:42 for the Green Bay Packers. How do you feel about Ryan Day running the first base? How do you feel about him getting a seven year extension. And how do you feel about Brian Hartline now being the offensive coordinator. First off I'm happy for Ryan Day signed this giant extension. It seems like a no brainer.

Starting point is 00:17:53 The run that they went on in the college football playoffs is something we'll look back on for years and years in the state of Ohio. But Brian Hartline I want to see if he's going to call the plays he's been co-offensive

Starting point is 00:18:02 coordinator before he's never called the plays for Ohio State. Is he going to be the number. He's been co offensive coordinator before he's never called the plays for Ohio State. Is he going to be the number one play caller. Is Ryan Dagan to take some of that. I don't know if they've worked

Starting point is 00:18:12 through that yet but I'm excited both these guys have a little edict NFL experiences to obviously Brian Hartland as a player coach Ryan Day as a coach under Chip Kelly. But yeah I'm looking forward to it.

Starting point is 00:18:21 So riddle me this couldn't find an extra million for Jim Knowles but we can find twelve and a half for Ryan I mean, I don't maybe you don't want to I don't know what's what's Brian Harlan getting like what you would what is precedent for paying? Coordinators, maybe they don't want to cross that three million dollar threshold I'm not sure but congratulations Ryan day to say he's earned this would be an understatement. We say give him a lifetime contract Yeah, I don't know if that has that worked anywhere. Seven years, a long time might as well be two life. I mean, look, James, he's under contract through twenty thirty one now.

Starting point is 00:18:49 James Franklin at a Q's Penn State is also under contract through twenty thirty one. Let's see who wins another title first. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Time 21 it'll be here before you know, but that's not even thinking about Michigan at all.

Starting point is 00:20:36 Yeah, we were pumped. I mean, that weekend kind of sucked for the NBA, but watching you do your thing was cool. No, I appreciate it. You're a real hooper. I tried. You told me how to go out there and bowl. I missed all my shots last time I came here,

Starting point is 00:20:47 so I was like, I really gotta prove myself. Uh-oh. You have another opportunity. I wanna say Trey Hendrickson made it. Fred Warner, fellow Mormon. Coog. Okay, that's an easier way to say it. Fellow Coog, he missed.

Starting point is 00:21:04 It was a bad day for Fred. He missed five straight. I mean, it was not good. It was like, wait, are Mormons athletic? That was the question I was being called into play. He didn't stop shooting, though. No, he didn't. That's Fred.

Starting point is 00:21:16 But he missed them all. That's Cougar mentality. 100%. How are you feeling? Long season. Obviously didn't go the way you went. We just heard, and I don't want to bring up drama immediately, but Kelly Stafford said on her show like hey we're

Starting point is 00:21:28 one play away from the NFC Championship in beating the Eagles and if we do that we think we win. So the way she was speaking seems like that's probably how Matthew felt. I assume that's how you guys felt as well. Nobody expected your team to be as good as they were. Trade deadline day we're getting rid of everybody. Then you guys get hot make a run all the way to damn near the last weekend you could possibly make it to, and then it ends abruptly. How do you view the season and how's everybody in LA thinking about it? Yeah, I guess, yeah, it felt like we really were one play away.

Starting point is 00:21:58 Man, I think of the opportunities that, yeah, I didn't come up with the last play being thrown to me and not being able to make that catch. We got the highlight. It was an exciting season. We were right there and feeling like, man, we had the opportunity to be playing at the next game and have a home game. But it's exciting to kind of know that we're right there and then being able to be like, man, we got a good young core that

Starting point is 00:22:21 we're still ready to, everybody's healthy, young, ready to make a push. We got to keep our guy Matthew there and healthy. We got it, we need him. We need number nine, 100%. But yeah, it leaves kind of a sore taste in your mouth, but it's exciting. Cause then I'm like, we're coming for it all. Yeah. I think the Rams team being able to build

Starting point is 00:22:40 multiple different times, obviously shout to Les Snead, shout out to McVeigh, shout out to all you guys for doing what you're doing. That young defense is awesome. I assume D-Butter AJ is gonna ask about that. Cooper Cup though, hits the internet and says, yeah, Rams just told me they want me out of here. You and Cooper are very tight.

Starting point is 00:22:56 I think you and Cooper obviously are a great dynamic duo on a field together and McVeigh and Stafford have taken advantage of it. What is your first reaction whenever you hear that news? Have you talked to Cooper and is this like the introduction? Like this is a business, like that is how the NFL is and always will be. Yeah, I have talked to Coop and it definitely is

Starting point is 00:23:16 kind of a weird ongoing situation, I guess that's happening for us right now. But I feel like Coop has taught me so much. I've been able to watch him for the last two years and interact with him almost every day of the past two years since I walked into the Rams facility, play basketball against him, watch him take the notes in the meeting room,

Starting point is 00:23:33 how detailed his notes are, what his locker looks like, how he dresses for practice, how he does his pre-practice prep, what he's lifting, doing all the wasting. So it's been, I feel like it's been an honor to be able to watch him be a professional and show me what it's like to do at a high level. And I feel like I'm ready to kind of take on that role

Starting point is 00:23:54 and be whatever the Rams organization needs me to be. But I think it's exciting because I know he's gonna go out there and continue to play football. I see him every day. So it's not like the team that gets Cooper Cup is gonna get the Cooper Cup that you saw win the Triple Crown. A dog, an absolute dog. Now, with that being said, you know,

Starting point is 00:24:11 at the wide receiver position, not you, and obviously not Cooper, but he could have handled that like a little bitch whenever you came in and he got hurt, and you just want bananas, and you want absolutely ape shit. He could have been, but instead he embraced you completely, you're saying, and wanted you to have success. 100%. That doesn't happen all the time.

Starting point is 00:24:29 No? That doesn't happen all the time, which I think means Cooper's going to be a great locker room guy wherever he goes as well. 100%. And the leader that he's been, the captain that he's been, the way he interacts with everybody at the facility, it's been super cool to watch and he's modeled the way. Cooper's coming to Indianapolis. Wow.

Starting point is 00:24:44 I don't know about that. Probably not. I don't know about that. Anthony on the way. Cooper's coming to Indianapolis. Wow. I don't know about that. Probably not. I don't know about that. But, uh. Anthony. Other Coast. What are your favorite? You guys bowl out here?

I don't know what that was, but that wasn't it. I'm two triangles over, brother. I'm two triangles over, brother.

You're going to see me hook it. I mean, if I get a nice bowl. Hold on, hold on, hold on. If I get a nice bowl.

Starting point is 00:28:00 Let's go. Oh my goodness. There's no way that's what you're doing. Oh my goodness. 15 pound ball is going to break your arm. Yeah, yes. I don't know. Did you see him just, that's real disrespectful. How many did you get? Did you have any 300?

Starting point is 00:28:13 Did you have any perfect games? No, 280 is my highest score. That's a lie. It's hard. I just can't get over the hump. You got a straight face. I can't get over the hump. It's a bold face lie.

Starting point is 00:28:21 You got a straight face. I haven't had a 300. We know. We know. We know. We saw it. I don't know what's going on with Pepsi and Go Bowlie, but I'm live streaming this event so you guys can see it. These kids are going to have a blast.

You need to learn how to bowl before this event. AJ has a question for sure. You're donating, we're building a school somewhere. That's how we're gonna do it. All right, come on. You need to learn how to bowl before this event. AJ has a question for you. Aside from bowing this off season,

Starting point is 00:28:51 you hear these basketball players say they go in the off season. What was that? That wasn't a strike, I know that. I think he's messing with that. There's no way that guy's a professional athlete. No way. People are watching that and saying,

Starting point is 00:29:01 what does that guy do for a living? Sales. Not bowl. Not anything. Might have been at work. Yeah, he is. You're working us. Yeah. That was bullshit?

Starting point is 00:29:09 I am on bull. You're just dicking around. I was talking about my bull. Yeah. Yeah, we're talking about whatever that was. There's no way that's what you're going to do. You asked me to make up an imaginary line. I'm supposed to know where I'm going off.

Starting point is 00:29:21 Footwork was dodgy. I'd hook it, he says. All right. 175. If we had you as a step- hook it, he says. All right. 175. If we had a step-back jumper, you would have like a legit. Pete Webber would be disgusted. Yeah. I don't even know who Pete Webber is.

Starting point is 00:29:31 Exactly. Boom. Exactly. I'm full. Hey, we have a question. Just what you look like, please. Look at everyone's reaction, too. Look at that.

Starting point is 00:29:40 Oh. Look at that. That was great. That was great. What do you mean? No chance. I just don't know. Ever bowled before, actually. All right, 175. Oh, look at that. That was great. That was great. What do you mean? No chance. I just don't know. Ever bowled before actually. Alright, 175. You'll figure it out. Adrian has a question.

Starting point is 00:29:51 That was unbelievably terrible. Yeah, it's bad. It didn't look great, but I mean, I trust you. I think the livestream, I'll tune in and see you bowl with 280 hopefully. When is that? The bowling thing? Today? Yeah, what day? Tomorrow. Tomorrow. We'll watch. Yeah, we'll watch. We can't wait. I can't wait to see you guys see Pat McAfee's show tuned in to Pookin the Coo as live stream. Now what's where what platform? Probably should go on Instagram live. All right. These new meta glasses, they can record like a live stream right here. I saw you when you walked in. I feel like you should tell people you have those but hey, you're welcome.

Starting point is 00:30:23 I mean, it's 2025, I thought. So everything's recorded? I mean, most of it, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you asked Hallster. What time did you start this morning? Life? Yep.

Starting point is 00:30:35 I mean, life. Like, what time did I start life this morning? No, no, no, like what time did you guys, what time did you start this morning? The show? Yeah. 30 minutes ago yeah we just started okay you're first yeah you're a first guest oh sweet what an honor oh yeah thank you dude thank you God thank you yeah you're

Starting point is 00:30:56 recording me right now no it know how to record. Start recording. You're talking to your glasses? Is there any red light? It is. It just turned on. Oh, like, dude. It just turned on. So now I was recording you.

Starting point is 00:31:14 Oh, you swore. Yeah. Are those things prescription? No, they're not. No, they're just a creep. I mean, they're just a record. Just to record all people. That was unbelievable.

Starting point is 00:31:24 So you just say, meta, start recording, and that thing starts recording? Yeah. See, you can't wear those to bowl, because it might show them where to bowl the ball. Yeah. Oh, does it? Oh, does it show you the line?

Starting point is 00:31:33 I'll read the oil patterns for you. I mean, maybe. With that, I don't think it's going to matter. Anyways, AJ's got a question for you. Yes, as far as your off-season training, is there anything as a receiver, you know, you're a veteran in the league now, it feels like. Is there anything as a receiver, like, do veteran in the league now it feels like. Is there

Starting point is 00:31:45 anything as receiver like do you have one or two things that you work on that you want to get better. I was thinking like basketball players. I want to get better at my mid range game they go off in the summer they get better. Is there anything like that that you can specifically nail down on that you work on. Oh one I just want to say like speed. I think that the name of the game is just being able to be on full speed routes. If you heard Devante Adam he talks about like young

Starting point is 00:32:04 kids tell him hey run full speed routes and he also says Devonte Adams, he talks about young kids, tell him, hey, run full speed routes in the off season. Don't be doing all these little agility ladders and all the things that look cool. He said, you need to run full speed routes like you'll run in a game. Yeah, I agree 100%. I mean, kind of the off season that we had with Cooper Cup last year is, man, we do our own.

Starting point is 00:32:17 Like, our conditioning involves lateral change of direction stuff. But then when we get out there, our receiver work is with Matthew. We're running full speed routes. We do the check downs. We do all that stuff. when we get out there like our receiver work is with Matthew we're running full speed routes we do the check downs we do all that stuff but it's out there we run the route tree and we run things we he does the play action drops and we're running full speed routes most of the time. Okay how do you feel going into another year what did you get better at this year you think?

Starting point is 00:32:39 I for sure think about catching the ball more consistently and then my release game I feel like I felt a lot better just being a more explosive off the line of scrimmage. Were you running it more this year? I think so. We definitely had a little bit more design runs. You're fast. You're too big to be as fast as you are. Yeah. And you run like an angry person. Kyle Brand has those angry runs. You run very, very hard. I try. People like Fred Fred Warner trying to tackle me

Starting point is 00:33:06 I gotta run that dude over sometimes He's bowling I don't know Darius has a question Oh my god, oh my god, you gotta get two huns guys, that's easy. That's easy, but is that your real stroke? No, I mean no, I it's not I'm'm real setting it. That ain't how bowlers speak. No. This thing. Is Pat a bowler? No, but I've been around,

Starting point is 00:33:29 I've been around the alley. Studied Rick Kenmore. One of the goats. So we're just throwing random names out and saying that. Those are not random names. These are not random names. These are bowling legends. Rick Kenmore is from the bloodline of the Kenmores, brother.

Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah, I mean, is Joe Montana a random name. Rick Kempmore is from the bloodline of the Kempmore's brother. Yeah. I mean, is Joe Montana a random name to you? No, I know that guy. Yeah. And that's who he is in the bowling world.

Starting point is 00:33:51 Just we'll see about that. We will. You don't think I was moving six at the bowling alley. You're out of your mind. That's where everybody was smoking. I understand.

Starting point is 00:34:00 I can't bowl well. Shout out. Holy Park lanes. Shout out to Holy Park lanes. You've never been. You would have never made it there, bro. Pookie, you would have never made it at Holiday Park Lanes. Anyways, let's talk about your team and your young core.

Starting point is 00:34:09 Go ahead, Dej. Yeah, you're gonna be a part of the Breakfast Club crew now. I feel like, man, you're gonna be in the OG and the wide receiver room now. Just watching you on tape last year, I couldn't imagine the type of preparation you have to do now. You almost have to be a quarterback because you play every position.

Starting point is 00:34:23 You motion a lot. You do a lot of shit. You release sometimes through the line of scrimmage. What's the preparation like going into a week? And do you see it changing or evolving a little bit more going forward? Shoot, I definitely think it can evolve. Coach McVay, he's always finding new ways.

Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah, like you said, inserting through the C-gap, finding different ways to be a part of the run game or the pass game and make it look the same. But I think it'll be exciting because, yeah, like I said, I've been able to follow Matthew and Coop and be in those meetings and kind of just being a fly on the wall. Not communicating when I'm being asked to,

Starting point is 00:34:54 but just being able to watch those two talk and figure it out and figure out what's our best way to communicate and get these things done, but then also to dial a place for us to get open. So I think it'll be very similar to what it's been like this year. And then Coach McVay, by the time week one rolls around, will find a new gimmick for us to get in there.

Starting point is 00:35:10 But I'll be excited and ready to roll for that. Does he always have the juice, Sean? All the time. Always juice. Every. He walks into meetings with his Christian Dior ones on and then he gets like, hi, here we got dialed up place dot dot like hair is always

Starting point is 00:35:26 Yeah, every time hair is always perfect. He's kind of jacked the upper body's jock He runs routes with you guys too right he gets in there. He's he still got a little quick to quick twitch He's a dog is he what cleats on he has cleats on we do it now He should go full pads. Yeah, don't you think he's really full padded up. I Don't doubt he would. Really? I don't think, have we ever met, Sean? I don't think we ever have.

Starting point is 00:35:50 Holy shit! Look at that head. Look at that head. Cam Hayward just walked by. Cam, we love you, dude. Hey, we heard some great stories about you last night. Jarrett Payton. Hey, real talk.

Starting point is 00:36:04 I heard you're an incredible human being. Obviously you're a great guy. What's up, Buckeye? What's up, buddy? Hey, Cam, how you doing, bud? I'm good. How are you? Good. Great. How's life? Great.

Starting point is 00:36:12 How's yours? Not bad. Tone was trying to get everybody fired at your building. That's not true, Cam. I'm not worried about that. Why are you doing that, Tone? Cam, he's a liar. That's not true.

Starting point is 00:36:20 He doesn't like the team. Tone likes to lie, too. I know that as well. I do. Yeah, right to your face right now. That's what he's doing. How's Super Bowl week? It's not true. He doesn't like the team. Tone likes to lie too, I know that. I do. Yeah, right to your face right now. That's what he's doing. I do. How's Super Bowl week?

Starting point is 00:36:28 It's all right. What are you, you're the ultimate man of the year for this year or no? Oh, I already won last year, bro. Congratulations, what a win. Yep. From back to back. I wasn't looking for that.

Starting point is 00:36:36 You didn't have to do all that. Yeah, well, I walked you right into it actually. You're a super good human obviously, represent Pittsburgh well. How do we feel about this season? A lot of the interesting decisions had to be made. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Mr. Hayward, can we ask you to give us your bowling?

Starting point is 00:36:51 Do you know how to bowl? Yeah, do you bowl? Hell no. Okay. Neither does he. Neither does he. He's lying to us. No, I just had to ask, they said my bowling,

Starting point is 00:37:00 but I just wanted to give us another example. Cam, can you see this? Can you see this wall? He averages 240. He says he averages 240. This is his stroke. The back swing is a little bit concerning. Look at this.

Starting point is 00:37:12 The follow through. Yeah. 240 he says he averages. Top to bottom, it's kind of concerning. Look at that. Yeah. Strike. I can't wait to see the cool animation they have after they

You're a tough guy on the field and you show up for your team. We appreciate the hell out of you. We're happy Pepsi's paying you to lie about bowling.

Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah, Puka. the Rams, Pukka Dukua. Yeah, Pukka. Thank you, Pukka. You're lying to my bowling? No, I'm about to go nice as fuck. Good luck. I got faith in you. I got faith in you. No chance. Yeah, I think I'm doing it. I'm betting over.

Starting point is 00:41:38 No way. I'm betting over. Tell Cooper to come to New England. Put it on ESPN bit over Did you should watch that back and never do it again yeah, that was bad look up Watch him Rick have more highlights. I mean that was awful No way that can't be a Said hey look I don't my bowling shoes, but he doesn't even have happening. He should have said, hey, look, I don't have my bowling shoes. But he doesn't even have bowling shoes.

Starting point is 00:42:06 He's not a good bowler. No, he definitely doesn't have his own ball either. You say he's got a 15-pounder Rams one. Yeah. Which means it's brand new. Yeah. A guy that averages 240 is not going to use a ball that just got shipped to him like a novelty bowing ball.

Starting point is 00:42:17 He's going to have something that's already ready for the oil patterns. He probably has four or five bowing balls. You think bowing balls was lying to us? Yeah. 240 is a crazy number. Crazy. 175, you got was lying to us? Yeah. 240 is a crazy number. Crazy. 175, you got a hit. That's crazy.

Starting point is 00:42:28 That's a good number. 170, like to get over 160, you got to strike instead of spare. Yes. Like you can't have any open. You can't leave any open out there. 240 is like professional. That's like very good bowling.

Starting point is 00:42:39 Yeah. About to get with the turkey. Also, new ball coming in. Guy's not even using a Brunswick. You kidding me? It could be a Brunswick. I doubt it. Brunswick can't do a novelty. They're just not. Okay. So as we move on, Jayden Danos will be joining us here. He says running behind if he runs behind too much, probably not going to have Jayden Danos on the show, which is a bomber.

Starting point is 00:43:03 Yeah, that would be a bomber. He's Pepsi rookie of the year. Yeah, great player. Which is the Pepsi rookie of the year. Is that the rookie of the year? I'm not sure. It could be. I thought it was.

Starting point is 00:43:15 Because he was named. Oh, Bruce is shaking his head no. No? It's fan voted. So that's not the NFL honors one? No, it's not. But I'm going to go out of Lib and say you're probably going to win. Right there.

Starting point is 00:43:27 It says he is the rookie of the year. Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year. Yeah that's the biggest one. Hey Q what is something that we've talked a lot about this game haven't we? Oh yeah. Talked so much about this game. I mean not enough. Okay yeah not enough talks about this game and when the game's over we're going to be

Starting point is 00:43:43 mad we don't have something to talk about. Yup. That's going to be something we're going to be upset about. But when it comes to this particular game, you had been splunking around the Internet to find us a conversation piece that maybe hasn't been brought to the forefront. AQ, what did you find? I found out that Patrick Mahomes...

Starting point is 00:43:59 Quarterback of the Chiefs. ...has had a double-digit deficit in all four Super Bowls. And with that, he has won three of them. That's crazy. He has come back to win three of them. There has only been seven double digit comebacks in the history of the NFL. Patrick Mahomes has three of them. The problem is with this team, he's playing a Philadelphia Eagles team, that if they get a lead, what are they going to do? Run. They're going to run the shit out of the ball and they're going to control the clock and they're going to be in four-minute offense and they are going to keep Patrick Mahomes off the field.

Starting point is 00:44:28 So I get nervous that if they get down too quick too early, it could be over. The patch. Mahomes clutched in is really on display here with him being down and coming back. He's doing that on purpose for the good of television too, isn't he? But he has said that most of the times, you know, he's like he likes to be a good entertainer likes to keep the fans engaged I mean, he's he's just unbelievable everybody talks about like once the game gets into the fourth quarter if it is a close game Close game. We assume it will be with two great teams two best teams in the league. He just finds a way Obviously Henry finds a way. They just find a way to get it done

Starting point is 00:45:00 Hey, this guy knows at all We got a microphone over here. He does know all too well about that. Lads, how you doing? Lads, how you doing? Ladies and gentlemen. Hey, fellas, how we doing today? Hey, George. Oh, hey there. Pat didn't have me on the show today. It was on him, not you guys. Thanks, so.

Starting point is 00:45:18 I want to let you know, what you're wearing on your chest goes directly against Oh, yeah. Pizza, pizza.

He's got the makeup. AJ's just throwing basketballs. He was holding it earlier. Shout out to George Kittle basketball. I was holding it earlier.

Starting point is 00:46:05 Uh, shout to George kiddo there. I mean, I don't like what he did. Yeah. First of all, everyone's lie today for shoot little seizures blows. Like if you've ever had it, it sucks. So I don't know what the hell they must've paid him $10 million. Cause anyone who's ever had little seizures always says, Hey, I just basically pooped a hole through my toilet.

Starting point is 00:46:26 Pizza Hut, as we all know is Doug goat. It always will be a little Caesar's. I assume you got a low IQ cause that's just my assumption. I'll tell you what, there's been times where maybe pizza hut was not around. So I want a little Caesar's and I appreciate them for their service at that time. Cause pizza is still better than whatever other option is out there only problem with Little Caesars You got to eat that whole pizza in about 45 minutes because that thing will turn to cardboard about two You can you can eat that whenever two days three days later. You're gonna pop that open say jeez that

Starting point is 00:47:00 I order this 15 minutes ago. I mean, that's the greatness of the hut. Well shot to George Gittle though Love George hate hisittle. Love George. Hate his shirt. Hate everything he's about today, but love everything he's about every other day. Bingo. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who has voted the Pepsi Offensive

Starting point is 00:47:52 There's a lot more where this came from. Hell yeah. A lot more where this came from. Okay, so it was an honor to watch you play football this year. Appreciate that. Just wanna let you know that. So we saw CJ Stroud, his rookie year, do what he did for the Texans,

Starting point is 00:48:03 and everybody said, wow, this is never going to happen again. And then you just get dropped in literally a year later and have a similar like year, similar like run. You look so comfortable against those defenses. Why do you think you did make the transition so easily? Was it the offense you were running? Do you think it was the amount of football you played in college? What do you think it was that made it a seamless transition?

Starting point is 00:48:21 I think it's the amount of football played in college. And I just think like the coaching staff with DQ and all them did, like I just think they made that transition so easy and comfortable. Yeah, but it's not like rookie quarterbacks panic. That is like kind of the thing. Yeah. Rookie quarterbacks panic.

Starting point is 00:48:36 That's why defenses are trying to bring it. There were stats against you that was like, yeah, a guy actually never panics. Is that just, you think that's who you are as a person? For sure. Yeah, that's just who I am like I'm just cool calm like whatever like on a daily basis do you know your football IQ college do you think the NFL game is better suited for you than the college game or do you think you just naturally were able to see what the fuck a

Starting point is 00:48:59 defense is like why do you think that it like legitimately do you think it came to you easy or what are your thoughts I Think just how I study my preparation like obviously about my IQ like I pride myself on having a high IQ So just going from there is like all right How could I take my game another level because I know the defense is gonna like Coordinated gonna try to mess with my eyes and stuff like that and give me to make mistakes. Yeah, they did it so Congratulations. Oh, yeah, you're getting paid millions of dollars to feast on you. AJ has a question for you, Jaden. Yeah, you mentioned Dan Quinn, your head coach.

Starting point is 00:49:30 What about your coordinator, Cliff Kingsbury? He seems to be a guy that's obviously always super fashionable. We see him walking in the game. You know, drop three buttons down, four buttons down, nice suit on. What's he like on the headset? What was it like working with him every single day?

Starting point is 00:49:42 Man, if you know Cliff, like Cliff is the coolest guy ever like always always in game to always fashionable in game he kind of gets like he might get a little pissed off might get a little wrapped up and stuff like that but other than that man Cliff is cool like on a daily basis you could go to Cliff and talk to him about anything so brand new vibe in the building you don't know that cuz it's your first year over there. But I'm assuming the fans have told you, like, hey, thank you so much for getting us out of the hellhole

Starting point is 00:50:09 that we've been in for, what, the last three decades? Yeah, I got a couple of those. Fans very appreciative, I assume? Yeah, we were on the plane. Me and my mom flying here. And then one of the fans told my mom, like, your son's, like, not knowing I was sitting right next to her, because I was all covered up. And it told my mom, like, your son's, like, not knowing I was sitting right next to her, because I was all covered up.

Starting point is 00:50:25 And it told my mom, like, your son saved my life. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard your mom talk a few times. She's awesome. Yeah, she is. She right there. Hey, mom.

Starting point is 00:50:36 Hey, mom. Mom, what up? Hey, single for the rest of his life. I don't know about that. I'm going to come on your show and tell the real story. OK. sounds good to me. We watched that video. We loved everything about it because she's looking out for you and it feels like your family, everything over there is beloved. So good for you dude. D-Bud has a question for you. Yeah AJ asked you about Cliff and I just want to ask you how much input did you have going into the game play because

Starting point is 00:51:00 watching you, you talked about what defense has tried to do to do the rookies quarterback so I felt like you guys are almost on attack mode play more up-tempo than anybody went forward on fourth down more than anybody how much input did you have going into the week to week game plan a lot I mean there was times like me and Cliff like we'll practice some and like if I like it I go to clip off I'm not gonna do it in person I'll go like it's off like a cliff I don't like that like that gotta go I cut that and we might have like a little debate of like I think it'll work through this and then I Give you one more try

Starting point is 00:51:34 I didn't like it or like he didn't like it look right. He's like he's cut stuff out the playbook. Love that That's a veteran mindset though, you know, like did he tell you early like hey, I'm gonna need you to act like a 28 year Old 29 year old old this is your team not always easy for a rookie to come in and be a leader he told me like cuz I knew Cliff prior like cuz I was a issue here that Arizona so like we had we crossed paths a couple times but I just knew like we had that relationship as we we built it he like like you can come to me like we don't like something like just let me know I was like our bet it was sometimes or is like we'll price some I'm like, yeah, Cliff. I don't like it. I just gotta go. Yeah, that's good, though

Starting point is 00:52:10 You're gonna continue to do that. There's gonna be players You don't like the Europe that are on offense with you. You need to let that be known, too Brother they go as you go Jayden. That's for real tone has a question for you Can you play the Eagles three times this year? So, you know better than anybody what makes that defense so good? Even though I think you put 30 on him a couple times so they got a whole bunch of superstars yeah I just think like their scheme like those guys are flying around the ball you can see they're making plays they're playing with confidence and swagger so it'll be fun to see them show up on Sunday. NFC East. Yeah. In the NFC Championship. Wow.

Starting point is 00:52:46 NFC Beast. Wow. Connor has a question for you, Jayden. Yeah, Jayden, can you talk about the VR that a lot of these young quarterbacks are using and some of the older ones? He uses it for different reasons. I use it for something you don't even want to know about.

Starting point is 00:52:59 Well, maybe. We can talk about off the record. Yeah, that's true. If you're going to be single, maybe we can have a conversation. We can talk about off the record. Off the record. We might get an off the record combo. But can you talk about that. Sure. If you're going to be single, maybe we can talk about the record. But you talk about how that helps with preparation and did that kind of contribute to you think to the just electrifying season that you had for sure. I just think just me be able to get more like reps mentally without having to put any physical

Starting point is 00:53:22 stress on my body. I don't have to thought out there throwing some cleats, warm back up, try to throw some footballs. It's like, no, I can just sit in the quarterback room, sit in the chair, and just literally just flip my wrist, kind of literally like this. Damn. Did you ever get, who confused you this year?

Starting point is 00:53:38 Anybody? Who confused me? Yeah. You remember any defense and just being like, oh shit. Well? Steelers. The Steelers tried to play Manningus. That's the whole game.

Starting point is 00:53:49 Fools. I would say Baltimore did a good job. Yeah. Baltimore for sure. Just brought it or what? They were disguising? They made you keep it. Disguised.

Starting point is 00:54:01 They'll do it like Kyle Hamilton, bro. It was time he lined up in the line of scrammage and running 30 yards back at the snap of The bombs like bro. What's wrong with this guy? Yeah, there's gonna be more of that But I think the more you see like was there later in the season where somebody would show you something that you saw like Week three or four and you're like, oh, I remember this. Yeah for sure. I think That's kind of what will Philly, you know as you play you play teams more and more like Philly Tampa Bay I teams I play a second time. I was kind of what Philly, as you play, you play teams more and more. Philly, Tampa Bay, teams I played a second time,

Starting point is 00:54:27 I was kind of like, OK, this is how they played me the first time. And I'm seeing it way clearer. And I'm just like, hey, I kind of know what y'all are doing. I know what you guys are doing, but you guys are trying to show me something else. But it's just little keys I was picking up on. You're going to be dangerous.

Starting point is 00:54:41 Last question here from Tash. Yeah, Pat mentioned how there's going to be guys on offense that, you know, you might not want there. Well, for the first time in, you know, basically a lot of people's lifetimes, like the commanders are a destination where anytime like a new player, a pro bowler, free agent,

Starting point is 00:54:56 or whether it's a trade, people are saying like, hey, they want to go play in Washington because what you guys have done. Have you had any conversation about that, about guys you maybe want to bring in, or like how does that feel knowing that like, the commanders are a destination to go play for a lot of really talented players now?

Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah. No, I haven't had no conversation about that cause I was still trying to get over this loss. You know, I always, I was playing in the game instead of, you know, doing this right now. But that's kind of where I haven't had no conversation yet. But I mean, it's just cool to see how people want to come play for us. You know, draft, you want to get drafted by us, come be a part of the Washington

Starting point is 00:55:34 commander. I know the fans are excited about that too. You're going to have a new stadium. You're going to have a new field, a new team. And I'll start right here with this. Obviously, you remember this. This is when we thought maybe team at Destiny. You know this isn't supposed to

Starting point is 00:55:47 happen here. Jayden you know and obviously as you huck this thing perfectly we watch you and you like think I think you thought there was hope the entire time obviously you have to. But then when this works out you think yourself maybe the football

Starting point is 00:55:58 gods are about to bless us here. Is there a thought of that. Well I didn't know like what happened like my my reaction was so delayed. Like it was like kind of how Noah Brown is. Like Noah Brown caught the ball, was looking and then start getting all hyped up and I was the same way.

Starting point is 00:56:14 I didn't know what happened. Like everybody else started going crazy. Everybody's running off the field. I'm just like, what just happened? Yeah, you did it. And it was at that moment you guys would rattle off a bunch and Chicago go the complete opposite direction. Yeah. Yeah, you fired five guys with this play bunch in Chicago go the complete opposite direction. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah. You fired five guys with this play. Way to go. Jaden way to go. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations on being the Pepsi offensive rookie of the year. We assume there'll be more hardware coming tonight throughout the rest of your career.

Hey Pat, he was saying, hey Pat, low bass, I needed the one for you, two for me, three for you, four for you, all voice, he wasn't doing that. And I had a bunch of things going on. So it appears if I literally just said, and just walked off.

Starting point is 01:02:50 through them. Check. Look through them. Look through. Make sure they're real. All of a sudden you're gonna kidnap my family if I pick the wrong one? That's actually the ending of the trick. I already have them. That's a crazy trick. Here's what happens. Instead of me finding the card, we're all going to know a card. It's not going to be a secret here.

Starting point is 01:03:07 Don't do it yet. He's going to start dealing the cards face up on the table. We can see every single one. No, no, don't put anything away. Don't do it. Parker! I can figure it out. Why is he stealing cards?

Starting point is 01:03:19 Don't worry about it, Oze. Don't worry about it, Oze. I don't have any left. You don't? You have a full deck right here. He's lying. Take your super fashionable jacket off. Nothing in here. Mints.

Starting point is 01:03:32 Pills are on them. You guys are formers. Take the cards. They look full. They look full to me. How'd you count that quick? He knows exactly what you do. He's going to start dealing. One at a time. Face one at a time face up. No, face up.

Starting point is 01:03:46 Face up. No, no, this way. Turn him over. I want you to see each card as you deal it. And he's going to stop. He knows as he goes, random of his choice. And he's going to take. And when you want, you're going to deal that one card you want

Starting point is 01:03:57 out front. OK. You know, man. Does it matter what we did earlier? Yeah, that's it. You decide. That's the card? Where the card?

Starting point is 01:04:04 Whoa! Stop. Where is it? You let's it. You decide. That's the card? Where would the card be? Whoa! Stop. Where is it? You let us know. It's right here. Wait, is it this one or that one? Could be that one. It could be that one.

Starting point is 01:04:12 Yeah. Two of clubs. This isn't a card trick. No, it isn't. Because I know what the card is. So gentlemen, watch. I'm pushing this over. I'm pushing this over.

Starting point is 01:04:20 For real. Was that your own choice? Could you have changed? Could you have done anything? When I say go through these, you could have said different one, different one, different one. Definitely could have.

Starting point is 01:04:27 Yeah. Everybody here, watch. Football, past or present, NFL, a great or not a great. When I snap my fingers, look in my eyes. You ready? Right there when I snap, think of the first player that pops in your head.

Starting point is 01:04:39 Past or present, don't say, think of it. See when I did that, I bet you what are the odds that you and Boston picked the same player Wow Oh there's no chance chance just just for the record just so we can see oh no you're gonna this is it there's no way there's no way they did the same what was yours Aaron Dobson what'd you go with Dan Marina okay so I want you to see that there's no way that I could have predicted that could I everybody's you to see that. There's no way that I could have predicted that, could I? Everybody's different. There's no setup. There's no stage. What I was like. Darius. I'm not guessing. I told you it's not a trick. When I snapped my finger before the first person that popped here, there's no way we could know. Everybody did something different.

Starting point is 01:05:17 What was the person you went with? Who was it? Dion Sanders. I couldn't hear you. Dionion Sanders. Deion Sanders. Uh oh. I knew you'd pick that card. You know how I could prove it? How? Because everybody, look at the back of this card.

Starting point is 01:05:32 Is there anything on it? No. Is there anything on this one? I can't conflict it. Is there anything on this one? Feel them, Pat. You told me they're trick decks. Yeah, feel them.

Starting point is 01:05:40 Look at the cards. Is there anything on the back of any one of these cards written down? I hope you're happier careers, everyone. I hope so, too. No, no. Look at every single one. We've got one family, but here's the thing a Jase I knew even so half a you'd stop on the two of clubs Because I wrote one thing on the back of it fuck out of here and I wrote down Dion Sanders You're a sick fuck, okay

Starting point is 01:06:03 Huh he lives in D. But his head. That was not as cool. I'll be honest. I'm not mean any. Yeah. What do you mean? How it doesn't sell me. I don't think about how it doesn't sell. Tell you who's going to win the NFL draft next year to tell you who's 13th pick. I'm gonna wait on it. Art gang. Oh, what the fuck. You're sicko man. Good job. Prime 37. Put that in your head. I don't fucking put 37 with prime. It's a prime number. I mean I don't think about prime.

Starting point is 01:06:33 Oh jeez. Son of a bitch. What am I doing with it? Oh I thought they were yours. No these are not mine. Alright sweet. Alright cool. I think they're for the job.

Starting point is 01:06:41 Ohs! Come on ohs! What? How do you get the on-standers on that? I don't know if I'd on, guys. Come on, guys. What? How do you get D on Sanders Island? I don't know if I buy that one. Wait, was that two of clubs of mine? Why do you mean you don't know if you buy it?

Starting point is 01:06:50 I don't know. I was just expecting a little more. I thought I was going to get Aaron Dobbson. Why did he guess you two? Aaron Dobbson had no chance. And then take D-Butts. He wanted to prove that it could be anybody, I think is what he was saying. I think it's why he proved that.

Starting point is 01:07:02 I just picked the worst receiver the Patriots drafted. I was like, there's no way. I picked De Amorino strictly because I thought no what he's saying. I think it's why he proved that. He's picked the worst receiver the Patriots drafted. I was like, there's no way. I picked DeMarino strictly because I thought no flubs. Yeah, true. No flubs. I had Terry Crews. You put cards in your pocket.

Starting point is 01:07:14 I had Aaron Brooks in my mind. New Orleans. I was trying, I just tried to throw him off a little bit. You can't, you can't. I think that's... Dude put cards in his pocket. Yeah, I just want to see if Oze would recognize that. He freaked out.

Starting point is 01:07:24 He did. Wait, was that, was the other man always on the back of that card? I don't know. Not when I flipped it. Well, maybe that's why I had it face up. But then when did he write it? That's what I'm saying. He wrote it before he got here.

Starting point is 01:07:34 He knew what D-Bot was going to say. Well, I thought I saw maybe John down after. I mean, profile of D-Bot. You couldn't have picked anyone less obvious than D-On. On here, you think? Yeah, come on, D-Bot. I mean, I wouldn't lie. It was the first one.

Starting point is 01:07:43 You couldn't have said Famers, you know the game Yep I'm gonna split the deck. Oh shit. I'm gonna split the deck. Wow, you're gonna get scarred cuz I was just up here Okay, you weren't impressed with him right Deon Sanders on the back of it. I thought I might have seen him You weren't impressed with him writing Dion Sanders on the back of a thought I might have seen him Butch all right Dion, what's the card six of diamonds? Close that's a diamond All right, anyways That guy freaks me out every time it comes around. No, that was that as well. Yeah, that's incredibly impressive

Starting point is 01:08:20 Yeah, how you go? Yeah, I don't know That was that the one you picked? Two of clubs to I picked he had me do it right before yeah, I got that on my brain though in my brain I just had to look through him in my brain. I said two of clubs, and then he stopped me right at it I'm what every that's what's weird. Yeah, that was spelled D on wrong a minute and a half ago That's right, that's right. How do you think he spells it you spelled? That was D-E-E-O-N. D-E-E-O-N. D-I-O-N.

Starting point is 01:08:47 Let's talk about some news out of the NBA. We're on ESPN2 currently because on ESPN1, NBA Live. Sure. Because today's trade deadline day. Speaking of, we've been wondering what's going to happen with the Jimmy Butler. We have learned just like the Warriors have been doing deadline day speaking of we've been wondering what's going to happen with the Jimmy Butler We have learned just like the Warriors have been doing all trade deadline period calling every team asking if they have any all-star That's tradable. They called down to Pat Riley. He said I got the guy for you Jimmy Butler now a member of the Golden State Warriors

Starting point is 01:09:20 Congratulations to Shams Who got his shins absolutely blasted after he said that Jimmy Butler once traded Jimmy Butler once out of Miami We thought potentially the Phoenix Suns were being mentioned some other teams the Golden State Warriors are the home now for Jimmy Butler D-Butch your thoughts on this, you know as a Heat fan I'm glad the you know, the whole saga is over. Hopefully Jimmy goes he got paid got a new deal two years 120 million He definitely I appreciate his service He put it all in line got us to the finals I played his ass off in the playoffs

Starting point is 01:09:50 But you know it got uglier for a minute a lot of the OGs kind of got mad at him because hey now They may not have guaranteed contracts going forward because how he was acting during the end But I'll hopefully move forward and get better as the heat That's it is going to say you're going to win it all though. No, they won't. They still got Seth Curry. Yeah, they got Seth and they got Trey mom, but Steve Kerr is in a bad spot mentally. He's crying again, especially after everything that happened at the end of last year.

Starting point is 01:10:18 But I just, it probably won't work. We always see this, you know, when this happened with the sons, when KD went over, it was awesome. It's really cool. These super teams, they never work in the first year. Now you say did the golden state, did with Kevin Durant when they had, when they went 73 and nine, the greatest season in the history of basketball didn't win the finals. Then they had KD. Absolutely.

Starting point is 01:10:38 That is an outlier. The splash brothers are no longer there though. This is now not the four, you know, super team that they had. It's just a three with Jimmy Butler, but who knows? They might be able to compete in maybe Steve Carr, Steve Curl stop crying like JJ. Why? Why? Well, it's a tissue. Steve, she means brother. It's a basketball team. She means brother TJ. Are we, are we, you obviously a NBA guy, a huge Phoenix, your town was supposed to get him. I don't know if we fully understand enough about it to talk about it, but we will, because it supports media.

Starting point is 01:11:11 People have been doing that for a long time about a lot of stuff. That's amazing. Actually, in the awards season, people have been voting for things for a long time, not having a clue what they're doing. I guess whenever you spend all the money and do the luxury tax thing, there's other things like restrictions. Oh yeah. Whenever it comes to like trading

Starting point is 01:11:26 for different players and all that stuff. You can't just say, I'm gonna pay luxury tax, I'm gonna pay luxury tax and do whatever you want. I didn't know that. Cause I thought the Phoenix Suns could go back in time and build a super team if Ishbia didn't mind paying an extra billion dollars in luxury taxes. I guess there's a lot of things.

Starting point is 01:11:42 So like for Jimmy Butler to get traded to the Phoenix Suns, I think it would have had to have been like a five, like because of their limitations in the trade world, because of how much luxury tax and how much over the cap they are, it would have had to have been like a five, it would have had to have been a huge operation to get the job done,

Starting point is 01:11:59 which I'm not saying the NBA doesn't always have that. But I think to the Suns was a pipe dream almost that was never really gonna happen. So then you wonder where's Jimmy gonna go? Golden State was eager. Seemingly calling everybody. So it feels like this was almost, I don't wanna say meant to happen,

Starting point is 01:12:14 but going to happen regardless at the end of the day. Well, and I wonder if any part of it was obviously, he was gonna get traded no matter what because you can't just sit out the rest of the season and be like, I'm not gonna play. But Pat Riley might've been like, oh, you know, Phoenix is your preferred destination. Like fuck you. We're not sending you to Phoenix.

Starting point is 01:12:31 That is a chance. You want to go to Phoenix? Okay. How about San Francisco is nice too. See you there. So I wonder if that had anything to do with it, just the way it all played out towards the end. Okay.

Starting point is 01:12:41 Let's talk about some other news that has happened around the NFL. Trey Hendrickson here yesterday, seemingly said like, I would like an extension or if there's picks that can come to Cincinnati Bengals that help them out, I'm cool with that as well. Long conversation, has a lot of love for Cincinnati, understands the Bengals are in a situation, but also said like, I'm in a situation as well in this whole thing. Love chatting with him. Let's stay in Ohio in the NFL.

Starting point is 01:13:04 Miles Garrett joined the Rich Eisen show, and this is what he had to say about why he requested a trade from the dog pond. I mean, like you said, it's not a decision I take lightly. You know, it took time and and lots of conversation but they're just looking at kind of the trajectory of the team, talking to some of the higher-ups, and I have a lot of respect for them, but I just don't think we're aligned on where the team is going in the near future.

Starting point is 01:13:33 And I feel like the window for us as athletes is only so broad, and it only continues to close as years go by with anything be able to happen on that field from day to day, and I want to be able years go by with anything be able to happen on that field from day to day. And I want to be able to go out there and compete at the highest levels day in and day out and playing for champions like I said. Very matter of fact, very calm, just like Trey Hendrickson. A lot of chaos over there in Ohio, how do you feel about Miles and what he said to Rich

Starting point is 01:13:58 Eisen? Shout out to Rich Eisen. Yeah, I mean, I understand. I get where he's coming from. He's been what? Eight years. He's been a premier pass rushers though you know one of the pretty much the premier

Starting point is 01:14:07 spot on a defense that you pay you pay you put on a play corners you want to pay a guy that can get after the quarterback on the edge. So I get it. What does he mean by the near future just that the quarterback

Starting point is 01:14:15 situation is unsettled. Is that what his biggest deal is. He said not aligned in the ideas of what we're doing. Yeah. Also the Cleveland to Canton line was a throwback to him. So I assume him and Andrew Barry have had some conversations and Miles Garrett's he really doesn't love the what we're doing. And also the Cleveland to Canton line was a throwback to him.

Starting point is 01:14:25 So I assume him and Andrew Barry have had some conversations and Miles Garrett really doesn't love the way they're going. No, he hates it. But Andrew Barry is saying, what do you want from me? The owner just gave this quarterback, you can't play quarterback. The worst decision of all time.

Starting point is 01:14:36 It's not my fault. Yeah, so Andrew Barry is like, if you just can maybe, you know, kind of just understand what we're going through here. Miles is like, I'm getting old, brother. Yeah. This season, this career is slowly slipping away. He said, you know, it's just understand what we're going through here. Miles is like, I'm getting old, brother. Yeah. This season, this career is slowly slipping away. He said, you know, it's a finite amount of time that you're able to play football. And here in Cleveland, it's like Joe Thomas here in Cleveland.

Starting point is 01:14:53 I haven't really got a chance to really do much, you know, and then we win a playoff game and you get rid of the guy that did it. Then you bring in a guy that when it's like he's done with the entire situation. And I think Andrew Barry or whatever's like me too, bro. Yeah I mean, I don't know what to tell you. It's tough situation in Cleveland Yeah, very but I mean I would be excited to see him land on the contender because he instantly changes the whole Dynamic of a defense of a team like he's a game record absolute game record one of the best we've talked about it

Starting point is 01:15:19 Past rushers of his generation and went with him talking not only him But one of the other best defenders Denzelzel Ward, he came out and made some comments as well that he might be on his way out too. So we always talk about act how you can afford to act and he's one of those guys that can do it. Yeah. So the Browns might not even be able to feel a team that's here. Yeah, probably not. Which will be better for Cleveland. But I mean, if you are Andrew Barry, it's like, all right, fine. You can trade them for maybe one of the top 10 picks or multiple first round picks. And like you saw what Houston did with what, you know,

Starting point is 01:15:51 the Deshaun trade. They traded Deshaun, which obviously in the, at the moment, wasn't a tough decision because everything off the field. But he was a great player. So it was kind of like, hey, we're getting our franchise guy out of here. And then they flipped it around in two years, you know It was a dumpster fire

Starting point is 01:16:06 But if you're Andrew Barry like you kind of do have to might be able to take a haul here Yeah, exactly while you're in the middle of right, but you know, what are they gonna do? What do they say? Same old brownies. Okay, Pittsburgh people are rejoicing at where we are in Cleveland Obviously Baltimore doesn't really care but Baltimore obviously came from Cleveland, originally the Browns, then the Baltimore Ravens. A lot of history in the AFC North amongst each other. Nobody's worried about the Browns potentially going into a dumpster outside of Cleveland, but their fans need to think about what the hell is going on with their team.

Starting point is 01:16:38 New stadium, right? That was a conversation. That was a whole conversation, this entire thing. You got the same quarterback you're locked into for at least another two, three years. Your best player now wants the hell out of town. I mean, it's all chaos over there, AQ. It's absolutely chaos. And the funny thing is, is Bruce Arons used to say this all the time. I remember him going through situational football. We'd be going through two-minute drills and the Browns would show up every week. Every week, it's like they'd do something dumb to give up a play in

Starting point is 01:17:06 two minutes and he's like it's expected the Browns are the Browns here we go and that's how everybody it's not just Pittsburgh it's everybody and that's shame though it is that's what brown really Browns fans speak like that I'm around a bunch of Browns fans that's how they speak it's nice to have that team though down there we could always be the Browns you know it's nice to have that team though down there. Hey, hey, we could always be Browns, you know, it's nice to have those teams to kind of make yourself feel better about your own team Yeah, well the Jags beats Colts a lot over the last couple years. So that's fun. Well, they've won two division titles since the Colts Browns have it Spice holy shit what up to theice, there's Mike Fred right here.

Starting point is 01:17:47 Spice, you get on this mic? What up, Spice? Watch out. Looks good. It's a robot bondo. Spice, how you doing? Hey man, I get to ask you a question? Sure. Okay. Now we ask you questions. What are you wearing? What are you doing here? What's going on? This right here, this hoodie right here is from Target.

Starting point is 01:18:34 Y'all want some cheese? Yeah, yeah. Take some cheese. We got some spicy cheese. Hey, Peck, don't ever say I ain't never got you none, dawg. Thank you. White cheddar's a bold choice. Don't ever say I ain't never got you none, dawg. Thank you. White cheddar's a bold choice. Don't ever say I ain't never got you none, dawg.

Starting point is 01:18:45 These are great tosses. Yep. Yep. And put too much pressure. Oh, what a toss. Oh. That's on him, not on you. It's a lineman.

Starting point is 01:18:55 Great throw. There it is. Great throw. Incredible throws. Incredible throws. That ain't never good, Cash. What a time. Thank you for that.

Starting point is 01:19:03 Spice, thanks for the Cracker Barrel cheese. Yep. Thanks for stopping by. The more you can do. Spice, thanks for the Cracker Barrel cheese. Thanks for stopping by. The more you can do. Hey, real quick, real quick. Big news coming out of Chicago right now. Not big. Not good. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:14 I mean, legit, I'm not from the area. I don't know her. Everybody that spoke about her though says she's like the epitome of class. She was always nice to me and my family. 102 years old. On flights, at galas, everything, man. She was A1. Virginia McCasky has passed away today, we are being told. 102 years old, obviously, up there in Chicago. Spice, that building is obviously historic.

Starting point is 01:19:38 The name is one that is synonymous with greatness throughout the history. What are your thoughts on the current state of the Bears, and are we gonna get back? Are we gonna get all the way back to maybe top of topicality in the NFL? Well, we're looking good on paper right now, you know? You just gotta put everything all together, as you know.

Starting point is 01:19:56 Ben Johnson was like a hot item, and we ended up getting him, and so we'll see what happens, man. I'm looking forward to see how him and Caleb you know kind of progress and they got Eric the enemy coming in like this is we got like an all-star cast coming up man. Chicago's a real deal all of a sudden. Yeah. You like Caleb? You like Caleb? Yeah Caleb's good man I like him you know we've got to keep him up right you know at the the end of day I think he only had like he had single digit interceptions What he had like seven or something like that like to go 17 weeks and have like those many interceptions That's that's pretty good. And he got sacked more like 30. He got sacked three

Starting point is 01:20:37 365 times. Okay every day every single day Big Zeus walks by. I never saw three people have a chance at a sack like so often Like how do you even like it three people get a sack like everybody get halves like how does that work? Yeah, that's always a bad one. Obviously. That's a battle on the defensive front Spice we love you man. Love you too, man. Let's get Friday bangers back man. Let's get it back Bangers back man let's get it back. Oh yeah. Alright, hell yeah. Bad idea. All time appearing. It is, Spice. Just brought cheese from Cracker Barrel. Yeah, Cracker Barrel's back. Well you saw Cracker Barrel's robot was chasing him down but it was to work alongside of him not take him down actually. Yeah. Which is good. Yeah. She just clapped that thing opened right up. Cheese just started spitting out. She lied

Starting point is 01:21:21 to me but you know. Said I'd love some white cheddar. Here comes Kobe Jack, but. That's OK. That's OK. Beggars can't be choosers. It was delightful. It is good.

Starting point is 01:21:34 Weird it wasn't a white robot. I'm going to say. This was great cheese stick. I don't know how much. Delicious. I don't know if I knew Cracker Barrel did the cheese stick game. They got good cheese. They do everything. I don't know how much delicious. I don't know if I knew Cracker Barrel did the cheese stick game. They got good cheese. They do everything. I buy it all the time. They do a lot. Don't they? Yeah. The store in there is great. Hey,

Starting point is 01:21:53 goodbye. A little I go in and Cracker Barrel ain't that right? D, but D Buck gets Cracker Barrel breakfast all the time. I don't know if I should have dog dog. He got a little Hulkster I remember he thought he was gonna take this trip straight. Yeah, it was about thought it was Taylor right. It was yeah, okay All right, I think we've talked about everything right We've talked about the game enough yet. Yeah. Yeah. Remember, we saw that AQ had that other stat, actually. I do actually have that. Did we get big? No, I had one off AQ. Orlovsky's walking around refusing to get bite done.

Starting point is 01:22:35 Of course. I had a stat off AQ's stat from earlier. OK, shocker. The only sugar bowl Jaylen Hurts has played in. He was up by double digit points. And he lost. Yeah, so he's the only quarterback that's completely undefeated or completely defeated is having a double digit lead in the Super Bowl losing.

Starting point is 01:22:52 Against my home. Against the Chiefs. It's pretty crazy. It is crazy all the stats we can create. He is also... I do got a good stat though. I do. OK.

Starting point is 01:23:01 Spags. 24 playoff games only allowed one 100 yard rusher. Oh, that is good stat. Because Saquon Barkley rushes for 100 on everybody. Well, Steve Spagnolo's veteran experience on the defensive front for the Chiefs helps slow down Saquon Barkley, which nobody's been able to do. You know what time it is? It's time for one half of the hammer.

Starting point is 01:23:22 Die! Cowboys. AP Tones. The Bad of the Day! All right, AP Tone, we've been giving out winners. Let's give out another one. What's the Bad of the Day? Yesterday we talked about fourth quarter,

Starting point is 01:23:36 quarterback rushing yards. Today we are gonna stick with the quarterback. Yes. One in specific, one specifically. You're doing great, you're doing great badger was tough Hey bud, what's your name? I'm the Philly sports guy How do we feel about the team I think they're gonna show on Sunday why they're the best team in the NFL What's the best cheesesteak in Philly?

Starting point is 01:24:05 Angelo's. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Dalsandros. Dalsandros is great as well. Hey listen, I'm in the sticks, suburbs, Delco. Oh, Delco, guys!

Full-time. We're making appearances? I do appearances, I do public speaking. What's that wing bowl that happens out there in Philly? Well the wing bowl, I was before my time of being the Philly

Starting point is 01:24:36 sports guy but I used to go to wing bowl all the time. Yeah what you do over there Philly sports guy at the wing bowl? I heard we got pretty rowdy. It would get a little crazy. Well that's what happens when you have like, you know, 17,000 drunk individuals at four o'clock in the morning, especially Philly Johns. Exactly. How do we feel about that? They didn't grease up the polls, right? I heard they didn't grease up the polls after the NFC championship.

Starting point is 01:24:58 They did not. Is the city ready for another Super Bowl? They're going to. I bet you those polls are going to be greased from here on out. Oh, yeah. Maybe you'll do be greased from here on out. Hell yeah. Maybe you'll do the greasing. Greasing polls? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:25:08 Can we, will you say if they win, will you eat horse shit? No. Okay. No, I am not that guy. Okay. Yeah, I respect that. You're not that guy, pal. I want to let you, he's not that guy, bud.

Starting point is 01:25:19 I ain't that guy. Not that guy? Exactly. No, he's the Philly sports guy. He's not the horse poop eating guy. Fair. How about the mayor spelling Eagles? E-L-G-S-E-S.

Starting point is 01:25:27 How do we spell that? Just two zips? You know, everybody gets a little nervous on occasion and I think that was her first time really doing it like that so she got the Go Birds right. How do we spell it if we had to spell it? E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles. Go Birds! Yeah!

Starting point is 01:25:44 Yeah! Ph! Yeah! Philly sports guy! Thank you, Philly sports guy. Thank you. Thank you, Philly sports guy. Love those overalls. I do. I love the paint.

Starting point is 01:25:51 Yeah. Does he sleep? Do you think he sleeps in it? That's full time. Yeah. It's full time. That's a tattoo. It's his skin.

Starting point is 01:25:56 Oh, OK. He's been doing full time for seven years now. Full time Philly sports guy. Love that. Love it. Yeah. Guys at conventions, shaking hands, appearances at schools.

Starting point is 01:26:04 I heard he does a full Broadway play about motivation. 50 grand appearance fee. Yeah, it should be more. Thank you for the free spot. OK, now let's get back to AP Towns. Bad of the day. Let's get back to it. We flashed it up there earlier.

Starting point is 01:26:20 It is Patrick Mahomes, 25 plus pass yards in each quarter. It is minus 125. The Philly yards in each quarter. It is minus 1 25. The Philly rush defense is really, really good. Casey's rush offense, I think it's 31 in rushing yards per attempt. They are going to keep the ball in Patrick Mahomes hand as much as possible. I believe 25 plus in each quarter. Feels like nothing. Now, is there some ways that we get screwed on that one?

Starting point is 01:26:43 Sure. The Eagles could go on like a 17 play, 11 minute drive, something like that, or a turnover where the chief starting position is in the Eagles red zone plus territory already. But no, I like that one. I like these props you've been throwing out there. Minus $125 is supposed to hit. No doubt.

Starting point is 01:26:59 But it's not like grotesque number that you're getting ripped off if you do bet it. It's not a stupid bet to be given out. $12 to win $10? Yeah, we wouldn't mind burying you that you're getting ripped off if you do bet it It's not a stupid bet to be given out $12 a win 10 Yeah, we wouldn't mind burying you if you're giving out like locks like people give out minus 250 Minus 125 is about to most you should probably give it out. Bingo. I agree hundred percent you agree with that Yeah, like cuz there's some like if you're if you go like there's some the juice on just normal bets could be minus 120 125 at the max. So yeah, I feel like that's a good spot that we can sit in if you go like there's some the juice on just normal bets could be minus one twenty one twenty five at the max. So yeah I feel like that's a good spot that we can sit in.

Starting point is 01:27:28 If you go over one twenty five year bump. Yeah. There's some absurd bets too. Like these kind of bets can kind of ease it out with the plus twenty thousand bets that you can make during this. What do you like on a big long haul. Look I love the first touchdown second touchdown type bets. I remember the last Super Bowl is Jalen Hurts score the first

Starting point is 01:27:48 touchdown Travis Kelsey score the second touchdown it was like plus five thousand. Those are always fun and then you know you might as well throw in four or five different players to score. Juju always has great odds

Starting point is 01:27:58 because obviously you know he isn't the premier player on that team but also D hop. I think about D hop down here in the red zone especially about those exciting whites. You know, they're exciting. They're fast. They're not as tall as D hop and their hands aren't as big as D hop.

Starting point is 01:28:12 So maybe you sprinkle there too. That is very valid and we should probably profit off it, especially if our big brains think of it. Let's talk about big brains. The Fox broadcasting crew went to chief's practice, but Tom Brady did not age. I know you were interested in talking about this. Is this because of the ownership thing? He's not allowed to go visit these things?

Starting point is 01:28:29 So AQ said because it's another divisional opponent, he's not able to be there. Is that right? I think it might be any team now. Is it any team? Can you go to any practice? Any team? Yeah, practices, no.

Starting point is 01:28:39 But according to my sources, he was at the production meetings. So the practices, no. But he is able to talk. In the room, yeah. According to my source, he was at the production meetings. So the practice is no, but he is able to talk in the room. Yeah. Able to talk at the production meetings for both teams. So he's obviously owner of Las Vegas Raiders. He's running interviews for the new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. A lot of people would say he's probably the one that hired Pete Carroll as the head coach

Starting point is 01:29:02 of the Las Vegas Raiders. So him getting a chance during his broadcasting meetings and then his visits to buildings, getting an inside scoop on how they're running or maybe trying to sway potential future free agents into joining his particular team is a fear of a lot of these owners. But he's Tom Brady. Is that how we're going to end up viewing this thing two, three years from now? We're just going to say it's Tom Brady. I don't understand the big deal.

Starting point is 01:29:23 I don't understand why people are so upset and think that he can get all this insider information if he watches practice or he goes to a production meeting like if a team doesn't want to give you any information in a production meeting they just won't tell you anything. Yeah but he can walk around that building and then he could drop a little spy. Yeah bugs. Yeah I mean keep a guy with him. Let's keep a guy. He's probably wearing meta glasses and he's filming the practice and send him back to the Raiders. You could give him a cue let me know what you think. You could give him a cue, let me know what you think.

Starting point is 01:29:45 You could give him our whole playbook, our game plan. Here you go guys, good luck stopping us. I remember high school coach, I remember someone lost their playbook or whatever and he said I don't care, here's our first 10 plays, good luck stopping us guys. They still have to stop you or have to figure out how to win the game. There's no doubt it still comes down to execution but but I think, you know, just from me remembering, the production team usually comes on Friday. And so your last period of practice on a Friday

Starting point is 01:30:11 usually has the first 15. So you are getting, like, if he actually watches that, he's like, okay, that's the first play, I mean, he's got a mind. But they're not playing his team in this game. I understand if they're playing his team that week, like if they were playing the Raiders. No, I agree. You can't show them the first.

Starting point is 01:30:26 But why are you guys all upset about Connor Stallions? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you were out and about Connor show. You were saying Harvard should be fired forever. No, that's, that's something I would never say. I don't really know. He said it. I don't care about that stuff. I'm not going to lie. Like I just don't, I don't think it has a huge impact on the game. You started greasy Pete., you did you did remember where is Pete there? Where is Pete them? Well, obviously reporting the news on the big Ryan Day contract, but if I had to guess Greasy Pete will see him on Bourbon Street later tonight. Maybe having a couple hand grenades Let's just say that hey has Pete gone to Bourbon Street yet?

Starting point is 01:31:07 Just walk by, be professional, or? Well, let's call a spade a spade. Pete likes getting fucked up in certain places. And Bourbon Street is certainly one of them. Might join, I don't know, Mitt McMahon down there later tonight. Any ballets? I heard that.

Starting point is 01:31:22 They'd recruit him in? They're out there recruiting people into their establishments, some of the places I heard. Yeah. Would they get Pete in there? Don't have to recruit Pete. I was gonna listen. Everybody and I mean everybody wants to share a drink with Pete Thamel so I don't know can you can you have a booze cocktail at every single establishment on Bourbon Street? Pete's gonna try. Yes he is. He's certainly gonna try. Remember him at the national championship the guy had no voice was it national Championship or Cotton Bowl? It was the National Championship.

Starting point is 01:31:47 I think he was kind of starting to come down with a little something at the Cotton Bowl. By the time we get to the National Championship, he's coughing on everyone, coughing on his hands, shaking hands. Kind of actually got our entire office sick, you see. So, but we love Pete Thamel. So, you know, you kind kind of just that's okay. I was sick for two weeks Thanks a lot Pete, you know got my kids sick my wife's shit But you know, I mean that's that's gonna happen. He had a phenomenal see he did he's doing basketball again He's back in college. I'm still bringing it the wicked. I guess that's where he started was college basketball Teeth you could say yeah, he did. Ladies and gentlemen joining us now the man who's always on television, but never on time, I guess, the big timer, Dan Orlovsky.

Starting point is 01:32:28 Have a great day. Oh! Boom! Hey, thanks for being here, Dan. Thank you so much for coming. It's great to see you. Thanks for being here. Oh, yeah, I saw you run it.

Starting point is 01:32:42 Dan, you got healthy knees, man. Yeah, Dan, you look good, man. Dan, look at that. Oh, yeah, I saw you run it. Dan, you got healthy knees. Yeah, Dan, you look good, man. Oh, yeah, right. Get out of here, brother. Got your ass. What if he just punched you right in the nose? Oh, man. Hey, listen, Dan.

Starting point is 01:32:58 You showed up 21 minutes late. It was not in our bingo call. Yeah, thanks a lot, pal. But we do appreciate you showing up. Thank you. Couple of things. What time did you tell me yesterday? 12 15 pal. But we do appreciate you showing up. Thank you. A couple of things. What time did you tell me yesterday? 12 15 local.

Starting point is 01:33:07 You told me in the 12 o'clock hour. 12 15. 12 o'clock hour. Everybody was there. Nope. Everybody was there. 12 15 specific. 12 15.

Starting point is 01:33:14 What's up? I saw AJ in the elliptical this morning. Can we talk about this? Sure. That's how are you doing the elliptical? Because I don't have about zero cartilage anywhere. I watched you bouncing on that treadmill. I haven't done that since I was in the sixth grade.

Starting point is 01:33:28 I saw you look so healthy. That feels great. I also didn't play as much. You gotta move around a little bit and then your jacking weights up for a while. Now his knees are brutal so that's why he does. I mean ankles, feet, like to bounce on a treadmill like that, I mean I dream of that. Yeah he actually came down to the room and said, and he said, I saw Dan running on treadmill,

Starting point is 01:33:44 he must have never had a knee problem. said that and he said I saw a day and run on treadmill he must have never had a knee problem that's what he said like Ryan day on the sideline a lot the knees don't necessarily get a lot of wear and tear yeah speaking of your knees where the hell have you been what's the deal man did you put him up to this no I was doing other stuff oh where are you what other stuff yeah what kind of stuff I just did b Boston radio. What'd you say? What'd you say? Drake Bay is the future? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:34:06 You set us up last night, too. Yeah, you did. Sack of wine. I set you up last night? No, you stood us up. We were all hanging out, and you were like, I'm going to go to a better dinner. Yeah, you did.

Starting point is 01:34:15 How was that dinner? Was it good? The big wigs. It was cool. Dinner was good? Yeah, it was cool. How do you feel about this? We don't have much time, because you're

Starting point is 01:34:21 going to get kicked off for Aiden Hutchinson. Hopefully he shows up on time. Probably fair. You didn't showinson. Hopefully he shows up probably fair You didn't show up definitely fair. Not probably probably fair. You spit our faces basically Boston Radio Boston Radio What When's the Super Bowl there, huh? Yeah, it's hard for me to bet against Patrick and Reid and spags and Chris Jones and Kelsey.

Starting point is 01:34:46 I think it's a second down Super Bowl if you're Philadelphia offensively. Stay on schedule. If you're not if you're in third and six third and five, I think you're gonna have a tough time offensively if you're Philly. So second down is a huge deal. I also think it's a three-quarter game like you got to go into the fourth quarter with a two possession lead if you're Philadelphia. Jalen Hurts throws over 300 yards in his last Super Bowl obviously in the NFC championship plays his best game I think all season but he said his straight jacket was taking off he's allowed to play. I would tell you though is like respectfully he's not

Starting point is 01:35:18 gonna see he's not gonna see the coverage and he could tell you this that he saw in Washington in that game he just won't. What do you mean? Washington lined up and was like, hey, we're playing single high man. You can throw it on the perimeter all day you want. And stop the run? Spags is not going to do that. He's going to give them a bunch of looks.

Starting point is 01:35:33 Yeah. He's going to do a little bit of the amoebas. A little Star Wars. A little Star Wars. A little Star Wars. Oh, his ass. Let's talk about the coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. Coach Tariani has a question for you.

Starting point is 01:35:44 Yeah, Dan You know this week's finally here. Okay, you're gonna have to answer a lot of questions if the Eagles win the Super Bowl Have you had a chance to? Talk to coach siriani has he spit in your face has said hey, you're a piece of shit What has the discourse between you and coach siriani been like week? Can we talk about this whole process of that day? I've told you about it, haven't I? When you did that that first time, I texted you like, what the fudge, man? You're like, sorry, I had to.

Starting point is 01:36:14 I'm like, I'm getting so many texts. I think I told you guys, so many text messages of why do you hate Sirianni, why do you hate the Eagles. He ended up calling me like two or three weeks after that. I was in the car with my wife, again, diehard Eagles fan. And it pops up on my phone, Nick Sirianni. So she looks at me like in total fear and I'm like, what? She's like, are you gonna answer that?

Starting point is 01:36:35 Yes. So I answer it. We have a good conversation for like 10 minutes. We chit chat about life in general, blah, blah, blah, families. And then I kind of hit him with the, like, listen, coach, I've been really hard on you. And he's like, Dan, you don't have to apologize to me.

Starting point is 01:36:47 Like, it comes with it. Like, it's not a big deal. I was like, I don't think I've ever crossed the line of personal, but if I have, I apologize. He's like, you have. He's like, you haven't. He's like, it's all good. That's him saying that.

Starting point is 01:37:00 So then you did it again like a week or two ago. So we exchanged texts for about a day, all good stuff. You did it about a week or two ago and I sent them the clip, the one, the beanbag one. Yeah, licking it. He didn't get back to me. He didn't get back to me. And I was like, oh gosh.

Starting point is 01:37:15 So I waited, I waited, waited. Yesterday, he got back to me and said like, ha ha ha, just seeing this. And I was like, it was a good laugh. So I think we're on good terms. Yes, of course. We're in a good place. Yeah, and you took credit for how good they are on a tweet

Starting point is 01:37:29 to me. Remember he said, well, pressure makes diamonds. He's welcome that I put the pressure on him. But you guys did have a field day at Nick Sirianni's expense. Do you think maybe next year, if they continue to have success and win games, you'll be a little bit, you know, like maybe this guy is in a... Big thumb dip shit.

Starting point is 01:37:46 Every single day. Do you think about that? Do you think the perception of him has changed? I might be more conscious of that. Do you think the perception of him has potentially changed because of how the season's gone? Oh, absolutely, because he's definitely got, he's evolved throughout the season,

Starting point is 01:37:56 he's grown and developed throughout the season. I think he's managed the games a little bit in a different way throughout the season than he did a little bit in the first five or six weeks. I think it's a huge storyline in this game. Like fourth and three, Jake Elliott's had some misses this year. Fourth and three at the 36 yard line,

Starting point is 01:38:14 is he gonna go for it? Is he gonna kick the field goal? That'll be a really interesting kind of, seeing how he handles that. Are you going to NFL honors tonight? No. No. No. No. No. Why not? I thought you were giving out an award. Yeah. You guys are hosting it? No.

Starting point is 01:38:31 Who's hosting it? Snoop? No. I wasn't invited. Not going. I have some meetings that I have to tend to. Oh really? Wow getting business done. Who'd you vote for? The election. Trump or Biden? I can't say it now. We're talking about the AP vote. You can do your presidential. I can't say who I voted for yet. I have to wait till tomorrow? I think so. Who did you vote for? He told me I have to wait till tomorrow. No, in November. You should be listening to Rob Monty. I have never voted for president and nor will I. You should say that. It's your civic duty. You piece of shit. Yeah, they fought their your civic duty. Piece of shit. Yeah, they fought their asses off for our right to do that, so I spit in their face.

Starting point is 01:39:08 Thanks a lot. It's just I'm not educated enough to make the right decision. I respect people saying that. It doesn't grab my interest level enough. I just like, I like... Yeah, I think, I'm not even going to get into it, but I agree with what you said. I'm not educated enough to make the right decision. I don't think you should be deleting tweets though

Starting point is 01:39:25 Yeah, I can't do that. That should be happening. Let's before we let you go before we let you go Well a big part of that whole thing just happened actually Okay, so so mad why happy Super Bowl hey listen, why don't you win 12 people? Okay. Okay. Dan's got a good jumper. $500. Why do I have a good jumper? I said you got a good jumper.

Starting point is 01:39:50 Why? It's not because you're white, Dan. I've seen you shoot. Jesus. What the hell? I think it would be the opposite. I think we know who he voted for now. Yeah, we certainly do.

Starting point is 01:40:00 Dan. We used to run Hoop together. Yeah. Dan, here's the deal 12 people will win 500 Pizza Hut bucks Bucks $500 Pizza Hut card. That's basically five million dollars five hundred dollars a Pizza Hut box How many shots like times blah just one just one just one Dan right there that lights a little bit of an issue

Starting point is 01:40:23 Others have made it. Yeah, So you are sitting here making excuses. Can I get two shots? You're sounding like a guy that eats Reese's like this. You're sounding like a guy that eats Reese's like this. Nobody wants to be friends with that guy, but we are. Just diabolical. Just what you're doing here, baby-burding the Reese's cup thing. I hate it.

Starting point is 01:40:43 I can't. We can't take you seriously. Thank you, Ryan Clark for putting that onto the internet because the world should know that there's people walking around like you. Hold on. So you know, I know that was possible. You think you could take me less seriously than others? Uh, I don't know if anybody takes you serious, but that, that, that you take me less seriously than that guy. I'm, I'm, well, when you do something like this, it's like, oh, okay. It's like Jeffrey Dahmer. Like that. That's who I think of in my brain. You have like the hunter on your shirt.

Starting point is 01:41:13 So you got no education. Yeah. I got screwed up. That's the main version of Taylor's again. What? No, you didn't watch your mouth. You said it's supposed to be Taylor Swift in the bounty honey world. Swifties are hot. I think you could say, yeah. Yeah, you could say. Anyways, Dano, you eat Reese's like an asshole. But that's not anything.

Starting point is 01:41:33 That's neither here nor there. That's not the, what we need you to do is win 12 people 500 pizza hotbox. That's absurd. This could change some lives. That's a game changer. Yeah. How about all families eating 500 bucks? That's multiple weeks. Foods are the month. That's that's a game changer. Yeah, how about all families eating 500 bucks?

Congrats to the 12 people that win the 500 Pizza Hut bucks. Geez. What a game changer. I actually got a retweet that right now Yeah, you need to get in here.

Maybe we talk about Pizza Hut, maybe you say something good about Pizza Hut. Maybe I'll just say something nice about Pizza Hut. Easy to do.

Oh, yeah, obviously your sports guy been in sports your whole life So you Gatorade has done a lot for you. What are you here today with Gatorade saying, or pitching, or selling, or yelling? Wow, it's only Thursday and you're on it, man. Well, we don't have a lot of time left on ESPN because Dan Urlovski cut in your time

Starting point is 01:46:35 give their athletes a competitive edge, so. What did you see? I saw a lot of cool stuff in the lab. They do their hydration testing, they do their VO2 max testing. And then when you sweat it all out, you got your Gatorade patch and you can see what you lost and what you gotta replenish.

Starting point is 01:46:49 Did you get strapped up to that thing and run on the thing as you're doing the recovery? I didn't, not me. No, I was just, I was watching everyone else do it. Okay, let's talk about your recovery. Let's talk. They're saying you would have been able to play in the Super Bowl.

Starting point is 01:46:59 That was like the goal. That was the dream. I think Alliance fans are holding onto that. Foxy, am I lying? Amen. Foxy in the back was literally waking up in a morning. Hodge will be back for the Super Bowl. Now, I don't know if you slowed down rehab after Lions lose. Do you think you would have been able to make it for the Super Bowl if the Lions would have made the Super Bowl? You know, you never know. I think so.

Starting point is 01:47:22 Maybe I would. The world will never know though. Okay, so how do you feel? Are we... I feel good. I feel good. We'll be wrapping up rehab pretty soon and then I'm going to move on with my life. Okay, so how's it been? People hate rehab. Rehab is the worst. It's the worst. Isolated alone, you don't get to play. It's a lot of hard times. I mean, it's painful throughout it. Is this the first time you've had to go through something like this? No, no, I've had a season ending injury before, but this one, that tibia, that tibia break was an absolute monster.

Starting point is 01:47:50 You know, it was, that is what, I mean, I stayed in the hospital in Dallas for like a couple days after I got hurt there. And those were probably the two most miserable days I ever had in my whole life. Yeah, questioning everything, painful. Oh, yeah, questioning, at the damn beeping, going off in the hospital the whole time. You can't sleep. People are coming in there checking your vitals every two

Starting point is 01:48:10 minutes. So I'm happy I'm done with that. You're also on Defensive Player of the Year tracking, too. Oh, yeah. You were playing the best ball by far that you have played in the NFL. Yeah. How much does that make you eager for next season,

Starting point is 01:48:22 or how do you kind of deal with that? Knowing that you were on a rocket ship and then bang, it just gets all stopped out of nowhere. Oh, it hurt. That was, despite the pain, being ripped out of that season and knowing what I could have done and what could have been, it's like, that's what I have the hardest time with.

Starting point is 01:48:39 But then again, I'm going into year four next year, so I'm young and I got a lot of good football work. Yeah, and I assume MCDC will use this entire ending of the year as motivation going forward. AJ has a question for you, Hutch. What are the Jets getting with Aaron Glenn moving over here, defensive coordinator? He becomes their head coach.

Starting point is 01:48:55 Yeah. What are they expecting? When I see him, like, quip something, that dude seems super passionate, loves ball, and seems to be very smart. But what do the Jets have to look forward to, I think? He's so great. I mean, me and AG, our relationship

Starting point is 01:49:07 has developed so much over the three years that I was with him. And he just, I feel like with AG, he knew what to say at the right time every time. You know, every message, whether it was a win or whether it was a loss, he was on point. And I feel like there was never anything he said that it was like, ugh, like maybe he

Starting point is 01:49:24 shouldn't have said that. You know, sometimes coaches say things that it was like, like maybe he shouldn't have said that. You know, sometimes coaches say things and you're like, I don't know if that was the message, but I feel like every time he said something, it was right. And then, so him being a head coach, I think he's going to be a really good head coach. How about MC DC? What about him? Just legend. You see that photo of him smoking a cig with his wife way back in the day.

Starting point is 01:49:43 Oh, so yeah. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All he posted. Sweet, long hair. Really? Yeah. She just posted it? Or you dug in the archives?

Starting point is 01:49:50 Within the last week. Happy birthday, I think? Last week. Within the last week. Or happy anniversary, maybe? Yeah, there it is. Wow. Something like that.

Starting point is 01:49:55 He's a stud. He's a stud. I mean, what you see is what you get with him. So he's so great. And I'm probably going to be there with him now So he's so great and I'm probably gonna be there with him now for you know he got extended for God knows when so we'll probably be together for a while. His messaging always the same as we see he feels like a very deep-thinking meathead. What's so great about Dan is for good or

Starting point is 01:50:22 for bad he'll tell you he'll get something off his chest and you know whether it's it's anything it could be something that I did wrong maybe or he doesn't like you be like hutch like that kind of pisses me off but I got to get this off my chest and I'll say it done and we'll move on so he's very unique in that way where I feel like you're always getting the real the real Dan Campbell, instead of letting it linger. Well, obviously this guy is your leader Never forget it. Oh, that's brilliant. Yeah, never ever forget it. It could be tarzan. Yes, and he's shredded Yeah, tarzan with a sig. All right, we will continue on youtube espm plus disney plus and tiktok live We wrap up here on espn with aiden hutcherson here with gatorade. Wow, so good

Starting point is 01:51:04 Not just aiden hutcherson, we're talking about Gatorade. And thank you to the scientists making magic. We'll be back here tomorrow. Be a friend, tell a friend something nice. It might change your life. All right, we're off ESPN. If you want to let any... Still live though. What is that? Is that you making all that noise? What is that? I think it's one of them. Oh, finger pointer. I like that. Wow.

Starting point is 01:51:25 I like that. T. Biscuit guy. I like that. Tony has a question for you. Yeah, just talking about MCDC. And then I was watching your highlights earlier today. What do you think the biggest difference that you got off to the hot start this year? Because I noticed your hands are just unbelievable.

Starting point is 01:51:40 The tackles could never get their hands on you to begin the season. Is that something that you think led to getting off to such a hot start this year? I think it was just every year you develop so much. And every game, I feel like I'm learning something new, and I'm applying that to my game. And I feel like it's just a culmination of doing that year

Starting point is 01:52:00 after year. And then I come out this year, and everything just felt so right. And I feel like this year, I embraced the pressure more than I did. It's more like, you know, you come in as a first rounder, you don't really know what to expect. And I get to year three and I'm like,

Starting point is 01:52:13 look, third and 10, game on the line, like put me in the position to get the one-on-one, I'm gonna win. You know, that's kind of the mentality that I did and paid off. It did. What's Evan Mem say to you? Yeah, he's a beast.

Starting point is 01:52:27 I saw him during the draft when we had drafted Detroit and he was trying to strap it up for the Lions. Yeah. So put the shoulder pads on and go. How's it feel that you're like a Michigan hero and obviously what the Lions are gonna be during your tenure there, the best that they've ever been. That feels good for the Michigan kids out there

Starting point is 01:52:42 because he went to Michigan State but Foxy views you as like Captain Michigan. That's the beautiful thing about it is Michigan fans, Michigan State fans, they all unite under the Lions you know so any Michigan State fan that hated me while I was at Michigan they now... Which there was a lot. Yeah probably. Yeah he yeah he was one of them. Yeah, then as soon as you go to the Lions, it's like, this guy's coming to save the state. This guy's coming to save the city. Let's talk a little college ball here. Congrats to the Ohio State Puckeyes National Champions.

Starting point is 01:53:13 Pretty awesome. That is really good. Back to back Big Ten chips. Wow, Ohio State. Back to back. Oh, wait, what'd you say? Back to back, Michigan, Ohio State. That's not a bad thing for the Big Ten. Oh, yeah. I've never been a big, big ten guy though. I don't know. I have a hard time getting behind that. But why the fuck not, dude? I don't know. I feel like if Michigan's winning, I'm happy, but if Ohio State's winning, it's just...

Starting point is 01:53:36 What about like Iowa? What if Iowa wins? You're proud of Iowa? Yeah, I'll be proud of Iowa. Hell yeah. But like Penn State, Michigan State, Ohio State, I'm good. Well, Penn State's coming. I don't know if you know that.

Starting point is 01:53:49 You think? Thank you. I don't know. How do you feel about Michigan? Five star quarterback coming in. What's that mean? I don't know. You tell me.

Starting point is 01:54:00 You tell me. I don't know. I've heard a lot of good things. He's got a good smile, he's you can charm charm it up If that helps, are you giving money back? Have they asked you to come back and talk or speak to the boys? I Think I went back once not not this year, but I went back last year I think for the for the Ohio State game before we won and gave a speech You have a little speech which says for your family. Yeah, yeah, just some gritty, gritty shit.

Starting point is 01:54:25 Excuse me. Not your honor. Your language is offensive. I'm disgusted. You gotta swear. You gotta swear on the show? Yeah, yeah. A little bit, here and there?

Starting point is 01:54:32 Yeah, no, I gave a great speech, I think. It was... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Football, obviously you're going into year four. What weight, is your body changing? Are you continuing? Because, well, we watch at Day in the Life, you're carrying around a big jug,

Starting point is 01:54:48 you're sitting in the altitude thing, you're doing a whole thing. Yeah, it was like a full commitment. In rehab, you have to do that, that is your life, which is why people are in the best shape of their life, coming out of recovery or rehab of a surgery. That's how it's supposed to go, okay? And if it doesn't go that way you should certainly ask questions

Starting point is 01:55:07 because that is a very difficult time but your body, who you are, are you growing? Are you learning? Are you staying? Like what do you think your size will end up being for the long haul here in the NFL? You know I feel like it's not so much physical. I feel like I'm gonna stay pretty much, I'm gonna get stronger. What are you weighing? I don't even know, I haven't stepped on a scale in months. I don't even get weighted to Lions, because I think they just trust me. What is, so you don't even know, like are you 270?

Starting point is 01:55:31 I'm probably 260, like low 260s, I would say. But I don't know, I feel like, more me, I feel like my mind, I just learn so much new stuff every year, that it's the mind that develops, and that's what makes you the better player. Any knee stuff, any ankle stuff, have you had any? I guess maybe the broken legs. That might count. That may count. It was pretty gruesome video though. I still haven't really watched it. Still got the sack. Hey, if that's a way to go out,

Starting point is 01:55:59 I'll take it. You shouldn't watch a video. I didn't watch it. I think I did once and it's just, to see your own body contort like that, you're like. Did you black out? No, I remember the whole thing. I was on the ground, I grabbed my leg and I felt my fibula like sticking, not out of the skin, but it was like sticking out and I was like, it's broke.

Starting point is 01:56:18 Yeah, this is it. Yeah, this one's gonna be a long one. That's saying you're gonna be back for the Super Bowl was insane because of how gruesome it all looked. D-Bud has a question for you, Hunt. Yeah, you came in obviously high draft pick, high expectations out the gate, but was there a welcome to the league moment

Starting point is 01:56:33 for you early in your career that you can remember that stands out or you just kind of felt like, nah, you know, I can still dominate these guys. Welcome to the league moment. With me, a lot of the, I don't have a specific one, but to me, the certain play that will get me every time is when they have a chipper outside of the whole box,

Starting point is 01:56:51 and then I've been on my ass countless times from that block, and I think there's no welcome to the league, but every time it happens to me, I'm either crashing into everybody else on the D-line, so yeah. So yeah. So that's it. All right. What about doing up downs at camp with Coach Campbell? Yeah, 30 of them. You have to do all those? Pretty sweet. He's doing 50 straight. Every year. Is it just like day one or is it every day? Day one of camp. When we're on the field first, it sucks. But that was something AG kind of did.

Starting point is 01:57:22 So I'm sure he'll bring that to 30 of them 40 them things Cuz I was watching hard knocks and I'm like, oh they must be doing like 10 and they just got near 10 It was like nowhere near done. It starts to become like It looks a little odd. I don't know if I can't scribe it if you can imagine a lot of hips and a lot of hips Who did that? A lot of hips and a lot of hips. Sure. Who was who did that? Like Jameson Williams touchdowns.

Starting point is 01:57:44 Yeah, Jameson celebration. That was actually an uptown. Nobody was talking about that. Burpee. Yeah, it was a burpee uptown. But instead, it was just it was a late in the uptown sesh. That's right. Up down.

Starting point is 01:57:55 That's right. Your team's got a lot of young studs, man. Oh, yeah. Going to have to pay everybody at some point. This is yeah, it's going to get a little weird, I think, this offseason. A little crazy. We'll see who's who they're're gonna keep and who they won't.

Starting point is 01:58:06 Keep collecting Gatorade checks, brother. Yeah. And keep representing the league, man. Foxy, you have any questions for Hutch back there? Yeah, Hutch, growing up in the state of Michigan, you know this and I know this. When we were young, you were considered an absolute loser if you were a Lions fan.

Starting point is 01:58:22 No one wore Lions merch, no one liked the Lions, and it sucked, and now you guys have completely changed that. Being a guy from Michigan, for you, what's that like? What's the energy like? That's gotta be so awesome for you. Let me tell you, there is nothing like a playoff game in Detroit, and now that we have them every year, it is, it's absolutely electric.

Starting point is 01:58:43 What, why are you looking back? We have them every year? I mean, electric. What are you looking at? We have them every year? I mean, this is the problem. This is the problem. I've been here for three years, and for two years now, we've had home playoff games. OK, I get it. I understand.

Starting point is 01:58:52 I've had three home playoff games in two years, so I think that's pretty good. This is the brand new Lions. And it's fun to watch. You guys are fun to watch. Look, it's in my head now, and to me, that's the expectation every year with the amount of talent that we have.

Starting point is 01:59:08 So it feels great and to have the fans that we have, it's absolutely electric and forefeel. So you're the right guy for the job up there in Detroit. We're thankful you stopped by. Enjoy the hell out of it. You're the right guy too, man. You gas everyone up every day, but you're the right guy for this show. This whole crew you got, man. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:59:24 Yeah. Wait, is that speech you gave to us Pretty good you're right. That was a good look you can do this me got it. You have it in you. No pull it out Okay, every day. I need to think about um no I guess about it every day every day success is least on end Pull it out sir rent is due every single day. Uh huh. That's right.

Starting point is 02:03:13 Joining us now in my check design. This guy doesn't wear vests. He won't even wear Seamus's. Oh yeah, I forgot. You spit on Seamus's face whenever you set out. You know I love Seamus. We all know that. I see a McNabb. Holy shit! Donovan McNabb. Holy hell. Is that Donovan McNabb?

You know the legacy he's built is something that special He's on a Mount Rushmore coaches. Okay, so let's talk about Andy Reed and what he probably does for Patrick Mahomes What do you think their day-to-day is like? probably does for Patrick Mahomes. What do you think their day-to-day is like? I mean it's business as usual. You know going over the game plan, making sure they're kind of crossing the T's, dotting the I's. You know everything that they've done all year. It's nothing different in the Super Bowl for them. They've been here before and so I think for for them at this particular point

Starting point is 02:04:39 is just kind of eliminating mistakes and just focusing on what they need to do to be an accomplished. Okay well hey I cannot wait to see who wins Where will you be watching it on the plane? What are you doing this week down here shaking hands kissing babe, just shaking hand kissing babies and I've got a book club I'm gonna be meeting with some of my friends and going over some of the Latest novels absolute Okay. Yes. Going over the latest novels. Absolute legend. We appreciate you.

Starting point is 02:05:08 Hey, appreciate you guys. All right. Joining us now, a man who's in multiple Hall of Fame's, obviously the host of Get Up every single morning. With his Mike and Mike run, you're talking about just changing and creating sports talk for decades and decades. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Michael Greenberg. Yeah, Greenberg!

Starting point is 02:05:26 Greenberg! Hey! Hey, baby Green. Choco! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Starting point is 02:05:34 Yes! Yes! There it is. Yeah, sound a little... Just like Mike and Mike. I have a great Donovan McNabb story. We'd love to hear it. Boom.

Starting point is 02:05:44 Love to hear it. So I wanted to come out while he was here. So a million years ago, and this little, I don't even know how many years ago this was, but it's a long time ago, Donovan McNabb, Mike Golic, Bruce Willis, and I, one of the Die Hard, whatever the last Die Hard movie was, was coming out. Die Hard 3, or was there a 4? Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Starting point is 02:06:03 Whatever the last Die Hard movie was. So that's coming out, Die Hard 3 or was there a 4? Die Hard with a Vengeance. Whatever the last Die Hard movie was. So that's coming out. And they were doing this promotional thing on ESPN. And they got Donovan McNabb and Mike and me to do it. And the bit was, Bruce Willis threw me through a brick wall. Yes. And that was so I was going to see if McNabb remembered that. So Donovan McNabb's job was to pick me up after Bruce Willis threw me through a brick wall.

Starting point is 02:06:28 And you did your own stunt. I did my own stunt. I 100% did. That's greeny for me. Yeah. That's ITC. That is green football. Yeah, you are Tom Cruise of the sports media world. I didn't even kind of piece that together.

Starting point is 02:06:40 That's kind of who you are. I usually get Catherine Zeta-Jones. I get that every now and again. Not so much Tom Cruise, but sometimes. CZJ. I love everything about her. Where are you? Where are you?

Starting point is 02:06:51 You're not at Radio Row. Where are you guys at? We are doing the show from a set down right near the hotel that we're staying in, like on Fulton Street on the property of the Caesars, I think, hotel. How was this morning? How are we doing? How was the crowd? We're doing great.

Starting point is 02:07:04 The energy was phenomenal. It wasn't packed. You know, we go on the air at 7 o'clock in the morning. I don't think that in this town, that's a very popular time. I think some people are coming back from wherever they had been. But we had a great show. We had the whole squad, everybody that you would expect was there, and it was good fun. I want to tell one other story because I don't want to forget. So as John, our friend John, who drives everybody around here. I want to tell one other story because I don't want to forget. Okay. So as John, our friend John who drives everybody around here.

Starting point is 02:07:29 Violent. Yeah, yeah. Johnny Danger. Yeah, Johnny Danger. John, he drives me over here and he used the expression, which is correct, he said, you know, the McAfee show, they travel deep. There are quite a lot of you. And I made the observation last night that you have the second biggest entourage of any person

Starting point is 02:07:47 I've ever seen. Entourage? The boys are workers. What are you talking about? I mean like just people that go wherever you go. Oh, got it. Got it. If McAfee is there, well, here's 14 other people who are also there. So the story is you may not remember this, but on ESPN, a million years ago, there was a game show called Two Minute Drill. Does anyone remember that? Oh yeah. It was called Two Minute Drill.

Starting point is 02:08:11 Did we stump the Schwab there? No, this was before Stump the Schwab. Kenny Maine? Kenny Maine was the host. Very good. And it was produced by the same guy who produced Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. So on the finals, we actually had Regis Philbin

Starting point is 02:08:23 as one of the guests. RIP. But right, Pete. But anyway, so Mike and I, and I forget who the, I think it was Dick Schaap, the late, great Dick Schaap, and Lennox Lewis on one episode are the four judges. So the way they would handle this is, we would all go in, the four judges and the producer would go into a room, and that's it.

Starting point is 02:08:43 And we would read through the questions. So we would all be comfortable with the questions, and then we'd go out. No and that's it. And we would read through the questions. So we would all be comfortable with the questions and then we'd go out. No one else is allowed to be in the room because in theory you could be feeding answers to people like this is the rules of the game. Integrity of the game needs it to be.

Starting point is 02:08:55 Lennox Lewis, who at that time was the heavyweight champion of the world, showed up with 22 people. Yes. More people than you have now. So when they say it's time for us to go into the little room, he gets up, 22 guys get up. And the producer says to one of them,

Starting point is 02:09:13 no, no, we just need Lennox for this. And he said, and I'll never forget it, wherever Champ goes, we go. And that was it. So it was me, Mike, Dick Schaap, the producer of the show, Lennox Lewis, and 22 other people in a room maybe one-tenth the size of this. Did you guys get it done though?

Starting point is 02:09:36 Reading through the questions. We did, we had a good show, but that was, I will never forget that, that was the only entourage I've ever seen, only person who traveled deeper than Pat McAfee. We need to, wherever champ goes, we go. We need to figure out our own line of that. I don't know if we're as, you know,

Starting point is 02:09:50 the heavyweight champion of the world. You can't really say much to that. You know, like, to us, we can get bullied a little bit. You know, heavyweight champion of the world, probably not gonna happen. You've been around the sports world for so long. What's happening with this chief's team? Normal?

Starting point is 02:10:02 Everybody starts to hate them because they're so good? Do you think as a guy who's literally set the tone in the narrative for sports for how many years now have you been doing this shit? Well, we've been doing mornings on ESPN for 25 years. Okay, so for two and a half decades have been setting the narrative, setting the conversation. Now you say you are just kind of mirroring what the sports audience is doing. That's what we cover. That's what we talk about. So you've had to chat about it. This Chiefs team now has become the villain. Is that very status quo for the sports world?

Starting point is 02:10:27 No, there seems to be something different going on here, and I think it has to do with just the way our society has evolved. I just think people are angrier than they used to be, and people just want to be outraged and pissed off about things. And I did my last radio show two weeks ago, and sort of my parting message was stop

Starting point is 02:10:47 to everyone. Stop being outraged about nothing. We get so mad about the littlest things in our culture now and the problem with that is there are things to be genuinely worried and mad about but we lose the ability to decipher which one of them really do matter because we get involved in nothing. So people are down on the Chiefs now because of a bunch of things that are nothing in the big picture. You're upset because they show Taylor Swift on television for a total of 60 seconds out of a three and a half hour broadcast. That makes no sense to me

Starting point is 02:11:21 whatsoever. Andy Reid is like a big teddy bear. I don't know that there's anyone more lovable than that guy. Love cheeseburgers. Patrick Mahomes is on his way to being probably the greatest player in the history of his sport, the greatest quarterback in the history of his sport. And as far as I can tell, a pretty likable fellow. I'm not sure what it is you would dislike on its face about him.

Starting point is 02:11:43 They are a ridiculously good team and they are doing things that we have literally never seen before. I'm not sure why people are telling me I should be getting tired of seeing this greatness. Now I started this career of mine before I was at ESPN covering the Michael Jordan Bulls. Michael became Michael when he three-peated. So that's what Mahomes is here to do. Mahomes is here to become the heir to Michael, A-I-R and H-E-I-R, to Michael Jordan. Let's go word playing. Let's go word playing.

Starting point is 02:12:14 You got it. You might earn yourself a use check. Oh, wow. Amen. I was wondering what that, I like that a lot. I think it's a use check. Yeah. His wife does those, right? Like really nice.

Starting point is 02:12:25 Yeah. They're beautiful. Kyle does them. She does great work. But anyway, I forgot what I was saying. Air. Air. Air.

Starting point is 02:12:36 Air and air. Air. Air and the air. And the hair. And the hair. That as well. He's got the hair. So, if you ask me, I think that there is a whole lot of nonsense that goes into people

Starting point is 02:12:51 being mad. And let's just address one thing. For all of the people who are complaining constantly about the Chiefs getting calls, okay? I would ask you the following question. Did you start watching sports last week? Oh, he's kinda dunking on it. Get on it.

Starting point is 02:13:09 The idea that stars get calls is an idea as old as sports itself. In baseball, in the 20s, umpires would give the star hitters a little bit of a benefit of the doubt on a ball strike call and the same with the pitchers. I covered Michael Jordan wall on. My wife Stacey who is here will tell you that my dad went to his grave as a New York Knicks

Starting point is 02:13:35 season ticket holder nonstop talking about how Jordan pushed off on every single play and got away with everything and got every single call. Tom Brady, they actually changed an NFL rule because he got hit in the knee once and it cost him a season and now you can't hit quarterbacks low. That's been going on forever. So do they get some calls sometimes? Yes, there's an old expression, which is if you're going to beat the champ, you got to

Starting point is 02:13:59 knock them out. And that is the reality of it. They're going to get the benefit of the 50-50. And I don't think that whether you like it or not, I'm not that is the reality of it. They're gonna get the benefit of the 50-50. And I don't think that, whether you like it or not, I'm not suggesting that you should like it. Just reality. But it has been that way forever. And I do wonder if there are some people who now,

Starting point is 02:14:12 because of gambling has become so much more commonplace, people have more personally invested in what they're seeing that it bothers them more than it would have in the past if all they had was a rooting interest. Yeah, because the team getting screwed is one thing. Them feeling like they got screwed is a whole other personal angle to it. And I don't know, like, there's some of those calls where you go like, that's going to be

Starting point is 02:14:36 tough. But to your point, these are all humans, you know, like the humans are the ones that are handling it. No one is suggesting that there haven't been, I'm not sitting here telling you there haven't been questionable calls. No, no, we're all agreeing with what you're saying.? Okay? This is reality of sports especially if you have humans involved Let's just stop take a step back for a minute What do we think the revenues of the National Football League are this year?

Starting point is 02:14:56 Okay, so something rejected value of the cap is 275 and what's that 5050 right and now it's supposed to be So you do the math. What is that? Five fifty? It's it's I mean I don't know. Five hundred fifty million per team. So so now you're talking about I think the revenues of the National Football League are probably something in the neighborhood of twenty billion dollars a year. I'm just throwing a round number.

Starting point is 02:15:18 Yeah. Just a round number. Yeah. OK. How much will they be changed by whether the Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills wind up in the Super Bowl? The answer is none. Zero.

Starting point is 02:15:31 Not one iota. There will be literally no change in how much money the people involved are making. So the idea, the only thing that could bring this down, literally the only thing that could bring down this $20 billion a year industry is if the world found out that it is actually phony, which it absolutely is not. So the point is, what you're trying to get me to believe is that they are risking $20 billion

Starting point is 02:15:57 a year because they think the Chiefs are going to get them another tenth of a ratings point in the Super Bowl or something like that. It's so ludicrous. I don't even know how to begin to address it. Well, especially this early, like let's say they are or would want to cook the books. They would wait until gambling is even more prominent and even more bigger.

Starting point is 02:16:15 It's like they wouldn't just waste it in the first day, but that would be assuming that you would have reasonable thought. There's not everybody just having that. And there's a lot of people that make a decision, not just in the sports world, and then they're just trying to find things that make them More legit as opposed to potentially seeing anything that could go counter to their belief That's the world we're in right now with that's a reality of the situation and it's a bummer

Starting point is 02:16:35 But everybody's gonna watch and everybody is gonna hope in their eyes That Floyd Mayweather gets knocked out the patch comes gets knocked out But the Eagles become the baby faces is interesting for me people being like need the let's go Philly Let's go Philly that has never happened before I'm excited to see how Sirianni handles it Meaning being the underdog and being sort of the lovable the favorite. Yeah, like the crowd favorite. Yeah Yeah, the people's champ right now is enough Eagles Look, you played this game. I didn't. Does that matter? Like like I heard my homes addressing whether people consider them the villain or not. What

Starting point is 02:17:10 difference does that make? I can't imagine it makes any difference. So, I think personally and AJ and D-Bot will have much better say on this than me. Travis Kelsey had one question asked to the media and he said, why are you guys leaning into this ref thing? So, what that tells me is that Travis Kelsey has heard all the talking Yeah, and then whenever the media start doing it. It's like so it's just motivation No, this is just I get I can see him feeling I can see them being upset about the narrative about the officiating because that would

Starting point is 02:17:36 Feel like it was delegitimizing who they are They've accomplished agreed, but as far as fans rooting against them And what is the line you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain? Like that has been the case forever. Everybody rooted against, I remember Tom Brady there on a video chanting, we're still here, we're still here,

Starting point is 02:17:54 when nobody wanted the Patriots back in the Super Bowl at that time. So the reality of the situation is, yeah, okay, go ahead. I can see you have someone much more interesting than me. No, no, I like what you're saying. We're going to wait for you to answer. Anything you're saying is gospel, brother. So we're going to take it as if it's our own.

Starting point is 02:18:10 Ladies and gentlemen, out of Texas, Atlanta Falcons running back, Bijan Robinson. Hey, Bijan. How you doing? What's going on? I'm doing great. Okay. Just happy to be here with y'all. Hey, we're thankful that you're here.

Starting point is 02:18:22 Let's talk about last season. You came into superstardom. The B. John Robinson experiment is good down there. You guys fall into a little bit of a bang. We bring Michael Penickson to end the season. Inevitably not enough. What did you learn from your team this year? And what did you learn about Mr. Penickson

Starting point is 02:18:37 whenever he got dropped in there late? Yeah, man, I mean, obviously, like, you know, we had some like huge goals, you know, fell short of it a little bit, but, you know, I think for us, it was more so just us coming together for that first year with Raheem coming in and all the new guys coming in. And I feel that we're on the right track

Starting point is 02:18:53 to do what we want to do. But even with Mike, man, it was good for him to have Kirk just for that back end of the season and to come in and feel comfortable and do the best that he could. And I think he did a really good job of doing that. But man, he has a lot of talent around him. for that back end of the season and to come in and feel comfortable and do the best that he could. And I think he did a really good job of doing that. But man, he has a lot of talent around him.

Starting point is 02:19:09 And I think for next year, like it's going to show and he has a whole off season to get, you know, get comfortable with us. But man, I'm excited to see what we can do for next season. You guys were exciting there for a bit. Mike Greenberg has a question for you. The talent level is ridiculous as far as offensive weapons. I do the draft. So I was there the night

Starting point is 02:19:25 that Kyle Pitts got drafted, the night that Drake London got drafted, the night that you got drafted. What would you say specifically is the key to maximizing all of that talent on your offense next year? That's a good question. Yes, that's a great question.

Starting point is 02:19:37 I think more so just understanding that all of us has to play a part in us to become the successful team that we want to become. We all got to get involved in the game with Kyle, with Drake. And then obviously, we got Mooney and Rayroy McLeod. So we got a lot of guys that could be a threat on the offensive. I think Zach Robinson has done a really good job of creating

Starting point is 02:20:02 space for all of us and creating key plays for us all. And I know it's hard for a coach to do that when you have just a lot of talented guys on the field. But he's just done a really good job of opening up holes and defenses every single game. And that's obviously what we'd be trying to do for every game. But I got to give him credit for doing that for all of us. What made you feel more comfortable this year maybe

Starting point is 02:20:24 than in your first year? Did the game slow down, it feels like? Did you. What made you feel more comfortable this year, maybe than in your first year? Did the game slow down, it feels like? Did you understand more? What was it about this year, you think? Yeah, it completely slowed down. I think, I always say it's more so like college. So that freshman year, you're trying to get it, you're trying to let the game slow down for you.

Starting point is 02:20:38 It's a new speed of the game. And then that second year is when you really turn it on. And I think, man, even when I touched the ball, everything was moving in slow motion in front of me. And obviously, I think that's just God's gift. But when I see linebackers slowing down, and me just manipulating linebackers and D-linemen and free safeties and getting them out of their gaps,

Starting point is 02:21:02 that's the part of the game where you finally, you know, know it's slowing down for you. That would have been cool if God gave me that. Yeah. With that thought in mind, Bishan, if I may ask one more question. Yeah. No! Through a running back's eyes,

Starting point is 02:21:14 what do you see when you watch Saquon Barkley in this offense play? What is it that is working in a way that candidly may be better than any running back has ever had in any season in NFL history? Yeah, man, well, obviously, like, we all know how explosive he is, and just how he creates holes for himself.

Starting point is 02:21:31 And, you know, in previous years before, like, he had to do that, because, like, he didn't have the best block in front of him. But, you know, I think with the Eagles' old line and just how effective and how dominant they've been, and now you add a running back that's super dominant in his own way and that can make everything right in the game.

Starting point is 02:21:51 You can go from him going with 900 yards last year and then I mean now him going for 2000 yards and that's the difference in when you can gel with an old line and when you got guys that could open up holes for you up front and you know that you might not even get cut Get touched for like 10 15 yards and you have those kind of runs But for him like that's that's what happened and now he's playing for a Super Bowl and he's run for what? 2,000 plus yards and he's doing just amazing things for his team. Yeah, and the running back market is coming back quickly Yeah, good news for you. Yeah, That's good news for Bijon.

Starting point is 02:22:25 Absolutely. D-Bud has a question for you. Yeah, what do you think about the whole running back position as a whole, kind of the resurgence that it has had? Obviously, it's always been talked, as of late, at least, when guys like you get drafted high in the draft at the running back position, you, Jameer Gibbs. But your success, and then the guys, even the vets,

Starting point is 02:22:42 you know, Derrick Herry, Saquon, what they're doing there, different ball clubs. How do you feel about the whole league as a whole when it comes to running back position? I mean, it's been pretty cool to watch. You know, there's guys that I mean, there's three guys that rush for 1,400 plus yards. And like with Jonathan Taylor, like I know he's one of the guys that's done it before like 1900. I mean, he's done incredible things. But when you got guys that can do more than just run the football, but

Starting point is 02:23:09 can catch the football, can block the all around thing for the position. Then you become a playmaker, you become dominant, you become a game changer. And I mean, obviously for your offense, that's amazing. But that changes your whole team when you have a guy like that. And that gives the whole team confidence to want to be great. So that's why I think the running back position is going to. And I think there's a lot of guys that are making that position, you know, fun to watch. And I mean, I just saw a guy, you know,

Starting point is 02:23:33 he displayed in college action, like I gotta give respect to him too for, for doing what he did in college. So, you know, I think there's a lot of great, great athletes, you know, that want to play the running back position now. And it's all because, you know, we're trying to continue to keep it going for years to come. Cam Scataboo as well. Yeah, I mean, I talked to him. So he played at ASU and I'm from Arizona.

Starting point is 02:23:54 So I always talk to him and I always make sure that he's doing good. But man, he's he killed it this year. Man, like he changed the game. It feels like football is coming back to a running get, you know, you do have to have the ability to do everything as opposed to back in the day where it's just football is coming back to a running get, you know? But you do have to have the ability to do everything, as opposed to back in the day where it's just like, hey, you've got to be able. I think Sean Payton said on Up and Adams,

Starting point is 02:24:10 he's looking for a joker, whether it's a running back or a tight end. I'm looking for like that. Like that Cordell Patterson type. Yes, like an X, which I think all of you are kind of at this point. Tone, there's a question for you, Bijan. You talked about three guys having 14 hundred yards.

Starting point is 02:24:24 You were one of them. 14 touchdowns. Hey, baby. Hey, Bijan. Hey, baby.J. You talked about three guys having 1,400 yards. You were one of them. 14 touchdowns. That's right, B.J. Thank you. Can we get another 600 next year? 2,000? Is that the mark?

Starting point is 02:24:32 I mean, you know, God willing, you know, I can do that, man. You know, I know that last year I said that same thing, and people were like, oh, he's not going to get it. So hopefully, you know, I can do something something special like say quand did this year or for this For this next season And we'll see we'll see what comes of it. Hey, we appreciate you stopping by We'll see for so I got see for right here Obviously, this is you know one of my partnerships, and you know they've been amazing. I don't know if you guys all drink it or not

Starting point is 02:25:02 Let's go, but uh yeah, man, mean, obviously this is one of the best ones. It's NSF certified. So it's safe for everybody to drink and you don't got to worry about those outside sources. But yeah, man, this is this has been amazing for me and hopefully I can get a whole bunch of more people to drink some more of it. Oh yeah. We used to see three, but okay. Yeah, we do. It's better days. Better days off. Better days. And we appreciate you. Big Nirvana fan? Say it again. Big Nirvana fan?

Starting point is 02:25:28 I am. Favorite song? Oh, wait, no, no, okay, I just lied. Nevermind. Nevermind. I don't know the song. I just have to start. It's a cool shirt.

Starting point is 02:25:36 Cool shirt, cool shirt. I'll start with you. Great shirt. My bad. I'll start with you. We appreciate you. We got an audience. Happy John.

Starting point is 02:25:43 I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking, he was not born when Kurt Cobain died, so it's remarkable to me that he's wearing a Nirvana shirt. I was actually going to ask you, is that some other Nirvana reference that I'm not familiar with? Is there a tequila or something? My kids wear shirts of bands now. My daughter's 14, and she has no clue. That's the entirety of it.

Starting point is 02:26:04 That's new fashion. Yeah. what's that big floor you go buy one of those shirts like $890 yeah I think so what the hell's going on I've seen you the last two days I think I saw you walk by holy shit good to see I think I saw you walk by, holy shit, I think I saw you walk by yesterday. Corner of my eye, I'm talking to somebody. What's going on? What are we doing here? I have a kids YouTube show.

Okay, so I have a baby girl, she's almost a two-year-old. How old is Mr. A teaching for? It goes from six to 15. Okay, so I'm not there yet. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 02:27:17 Making broccoli and avocado just sexy just for... Okay. I love it. That's awesome. I might need it. Graney has a question for you, Mr. A. No, I don't. I was just, I just looked at you. When I was, when my kids were little,

Starting point is 02:27:30 they used to watch The Wiggles. Yeah. Are they still around? Are they still? Because they had a healthy song called Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy. Yummy Yummy. I can still see it.

Starting point is 02:27:39 Man, you're really quiet, bro. Mr. A, you need a Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy, I think. I think you need a song. I'm gonna work on it. A, you need a fruit salad. Yummy, yummy, I think. I think you need a song. I'm going to work on it. Yeah. That was a big hit. Are you the perfect person for this?

Starting point is 02:27:50 I think so. I've been told that. Yeah, I've been told that. I think so. What shows did you pull inspiration from? Because I'm my age group. I grew up on Barney reading Rainbow. Shout out to that.

Starting point is 02:27:58 Shout out to the Lions. Shout out to the Lions. What are some of the people that you've been? It's a great, great, like very, very smart out there. Thank you. Love the streets. So there's Alvin, obviously. There's Alvin and Chipmunks, there's Blippi, there's some Arthur, there's some Blues Clues.

Hold on, because I have so many questions here Yeah, when we writing when how many episodes do we we're putting out something every week one episode a week Yeah, I have an Eli episode coming. Hopefully tonight we get Eli in Eli Manning. He's doing an adventure with me He's already did one but if he gets in we're putting it out. So hopefully in the Hall of Fame

Starting point is 02:29:02 So hopefully he gets in. Nice. Wow. I can't wait to see you go into something. I don't even know what this genre would be. Health and wellness for kids. Tony, maybe? OK. Thank you. Broccoli and avocado.

Starting point is 02:29:23 Holy shit, Ron Rivera's over there. Ron, good to see you. All right, salutations, Mr. A. That's awesome. I love it. Thank you, Mr. A. Holy shit, Ron Rivera's over there. I'm gonna see you. All right, salutations, Mr. A. Look at Ron Rivera's walking out there. This is amazing. Ron, what are you, GM? You're GM a cow now? Well, we're working on something.

Starting point is 02:29:35 We haven't quite defined the role yet. Hold on, yeah, because this just got announced, right? Yeah. Yeah, we haven't announced it completely, and we're still working through the process, but we're heading in that direction. Okay, so I got a chance to be out there this year. Yeah, I know you were.

Starting point is 02:29:46 I was there, watched you, you got into it. What was it? You know it? You tell the story? You tell the whole damn world this is bear territory. I said, you know it? You tell the story? You tell the whole damn world.

Starting point is 02:30:01 This is bear territory. I'll tell you what, there was a good sense. Yeah, there was. Vitamins out there. Vibes through the roof. And the team, that was in the middle of finals week. They showed up. I don't think any of us expected that out of there. And it was a magical year for them. And now bringing you in. Well it's an opportunity. I mean I'm looking forward to it because it's, I think it's something that really helped to help the university. Okay so all your years of football experience, you're just going to go in there, oversee maybe the new salary cap world that we're in, recruiting world, contract negotiation

Starting point is 02:30:31 world. I think, again, we're going to define that, but some of that's part of the things that we're hoping to do and get right. Nice. You think there will ever be a time where you're not associated with ball? No. Yeah. I love it.

Starting point is 02:30:44 And like you, you've been around your whole life is what you've done. You've had a great experience. You want to continue. Yeah. Chuck Pagano is just one back to come. I saw that. I just want to back to coach Bill Belichick just went back to go. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 02:30:55 You football Fox just can't. You can't. You literally. That's life man. It is. It is. But you know family first. So absolutely.

Starting point is 02:31:03 I got the wife over here filming me. She's she's making a video. Thank you. Thank you for allowing him to give that I covered Ron Rivera when he was a linebacker on the Chicago Bears Greeney, what are you hiding back there? I couldn't possibly be less hidden than I am Can I ask him a question? Absolutely. Should we have a Super Bowl question? Yeah. Brady. You are a person.

Starting point is 02:31:27 Brady, show! I don't do radio rowing. Show your questions! He doesn't do radio rowing, he doesn't know. You guys. Yeah, this is normal, by the way. I don't wanna be there. You were part of what was probably

Starting point is 02:31:35 the greatest defense of all time. Absolutely. No one is saying that about these Eagles, but they're awfully good. Obviously, they've got particularly up the middle in Jalen Carter and all three levels and everything else and the second the secondary. So how how do you see them stopping Patrick Mahomes doing what no one has been able to do in this spot and that what is this defense going to do on

Starting point is 02:31:56 Sunday that is going to win the Eagles the Super Bowl? What's gonna be real interesting is if he can continue to get pressure on the quarterback with just a four-man rush. For the most part when you go through and watch here, he did blitz, but not as much as people think. I thought he played a lot of four man rush so that he allowed seven back there to cover. To me, the big key to this game more so anything are two things. If all of a sudden Patrick Mahomes has four explosive passes, okay, big time passes, that could be the difference right there.

Starting point is 02:32:22 But if Saquon breaks off four explosive runs, I think it's the other way. Saquon and the Eagles are the most explosive team in ball this year. Happened through the run game. It is old school feeling. Let's talk about the other defense now. Let's talk about Spags defense.

Starting point is 02:32:35 He's bringing it. We got exotics. We got amoebas. We're doing all of that. How do you feel about Spag and his Hall of Fame resume he's been putting out? Without a doubt, without a doubt. We started together in Andy's original staff

Starting point is 02:32:46 He was our quality control coach. I was the linebackers Leslie Frazier was defensive backs Tommy Brazier D line pretty good group Yeah, Jim, Jim Johnson defensive coordinator Spags learn Spags tremendous and I'll tell you what I really expect from Spags I think you're gonna to see Steve bring run pressures to try and stop the run game. What's a run pressure? For the most part, sliding the line and bringing the safety off an edge, taking a linebacker and having him get downhill

Starting point is 02:33:13 into one of the run gaps, anticipating where he thinks the ball is going to be run. I would not be surprised to see Spags do that in trying to stop this vaunted running attack of Philadelphia. Coach, AJ has a question for you. Coach, obviously going to cow What's it like? Sorry? I know don't ears and it's hard to hear I gotta speak up but like going to cow now

Starting point is 02:33:29 I guess when you've been around these college kids, it's very very early in the process of what you're doing But you excited to be around these young kids and is it different maybe than these college kids were 20 25 years It is different You get that sense when you know we started bringing guys in what it was really like For them coming out and getting everything now. I think what's happened is you look at these young guys and want to try and help create the right type of experience for them and that's what we're hoping to is create an experience that these guys can have understand that we get to the next

Starting point is 02:33:59 level they're ready for it and I think that's what you see you know and what coach Belichick is doing but probably the best example is how Jaden Daniels handled it this year. Think about this, young man stayed five years college football but when he came it was like, hey, business as usual. Come in at 5, 36 o'clock in the morning, get to work right away, finish with a long day

Starting point is 02:34:21 and then hey, get about his business. I mean that young man really set what the bar is and what the expectation to be the next player coming out. Great year this year in the NFL we're celebrating it and yeah hearing that you're getting back into college ball is awesome. We're happy for you coach. I appreciate it. Thanks for the time guys. Thank you ladies and gentlemen Ron Rivera. Hey Pat we got to see you next year. I would love to. Hey I'll go out that place. I had a great time over there. People were so kind.

Starting point is 02:34:46 Well, I'll tell you, I love when the kid made the kick. Daniel, yeah. That was a hell of a deal. Yeah, you're damn right. Did a lot of good, too. And I think he got a deal with Vans through it. I mean, it was a magical morning out there. Thank you, Coach.

Starting point is 02:34:58 Good luck. The college world is insane. Cal was wild out there. I mean, I don't think any of us expected that.hawn Lynch then was the guest picker. What a perfect Yeah, right off the top with that song too when the show started, you know, yeah everyone doing it I forgot about there for a second and then when he got halfway through I was like yeah We're telling the whole damn world aren't we? A lot of those chance you went to Northwestern Herman Edwards went to Cal and he always talks about it

Starting point is 02:35:23 I see I love Herman and I see him on Sunday mornings now. You got a full name? So proper. Herman, I mean as opposed to Herm. Yeah, his name. Herm, I mean his name is Herman. I don't know, when he was the coach of the Jets I always called him Herman, so that's what I call him.

Starting point is 02:35:36 What did he call his buddy last night? Artholomew? Yeah, there was a guy named Artholomew. Well, okay, well that's a different story. So that's Artie, who's one of the producers of Get Up. And Bart, we figured out Bart Scott, his full name is Bartholomew. Great name.

Starting point is 02:35:51 Which I don't know why that hadn't occurred to me, but I asked him once, is Bart short for anything? And he said it was Bartholomew. And Artie was standing there, so I said, oh, is Artie short for Artholomew? And that just became a running joke. Oh, okay. Particularly funny.

Starting point is 02:36:02 Okay. Yeah, but you tying that together, that's what you do. That's the two Hall of Fame. That's the genius there. That's the two Hall of Fame. When you're not on all the right edibles, it's not as funny as it is. When you're on the right edibles, it's much fun.

Starting point is 02:36:12 Now what's the problem? Why aren't you on the edibles? Wasn't there something that I was agreeing to? I got all kinds of things to do today, you know? I'm making things happen. All day, every day. I need to be sharp. I thought you were on edibles when you said

Starting point is 02:36:23 that Ron Rivera was on the Steelers. That was weird. No, the 85 Bears. Bears. Oh, that's the best defense of all time. Oh, okay. Oh, I see. Oh.

Starting point is 02:36:32 Which, the 85 Bears, the 2000 Ravens, which Steelers team are you talking about? Well, there's the 70s, but the 08 one. So the Steel Curtain Steelers over a prolonged period of time is the greatest defense of all time. Thank you. No question. But the world has changed. Thank you. The world has changed.

Starting point is 02:36:48 In any one individual season, I was there. My freshman year of college was the year of the 85 Bears. And I moved to Evanston, Illinois. You just mentioned Northwestern. And so I watched, that was at a time before there was DirecTV, like you watched whatever game was on, CBS or in those days NBC or whatever it was. So I watched every Bears game that year, even though I wasn't a fan of the Bears.

Starting point is 02:37:09 And I will tell you, I will go to my grave believing that if that team had punted on first down, every time they got the ball, they would have gone eight and eight. I think their defense without an offense would have won half their games. It was the best, it was without question, the best unit I've ever seen. And I would put the, if the 85 Bears played any team, and I think that there's anyone here from Chicago listening or whatever it is that is old enough to remember it.

Starting point is 02:37:35 I would take the 85 Bears in any one individual season as the best team I ever saw against any other NFL team in any one individual. We're currently streaming on YouTube, ESPN+, Disney+, and TikTok Live. I doubt anybody watching currently would be able to remember the 85 Bears. Legitimize what you did.

Starting point is 02:37:51 No, I'm joking. It's good to tell their stories and we all remember the 85 Bears, especially because of the song and dance. All right, let's get to it. Have you made a pick already for this game? So at the beginning of the week, they asked me for a pick and I said Kansas City,

Starting point is 02:38:02 because you just can't pick against them. And then as the week has gone on, and I've had one after another analyst come on every conversation leads one to believe the Eagles should win the game like the the the Chiefs should only win the Chiefs are only going to win the game because that's just what they do yeah they just win even when they shouldn't but the Eagles Eagles are so ridiculously talented. You look at the offensive, you're gonna sell out, look I'll talk to a linebacker. You're gonna sell out. You're gonna sell out to a Duquesne linebacker, so we got multiple linebackers. If you're gonna commit everything that it's gonna take to commit to keeping Saquon from just ending

Starting point is 02:38:44 the game, because if Saquon just obliterates you then you have no chance no matter what. Just ask Washington. So you know you're going to contribute, put everything in there and now all of a sudden you got AJ Brown out there all by himself with anybody. I don't care who, how good McDuffie is or whatever it is. Okay let's even say Trent McDuffie can handle AJ Brown about as well as anybody can. Now you still have Devante Smith, like their line is enormous. And they have, I think, the best defense in the NFL. Like they're so ridiculously good at every level,

Starting point is 02:39:15 that every conversation I've had this week makes me question my pick. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, I've been flip-flopping too. The only thing is they haven't turned the ball over. We know that. Jalen Hurts has done a great job. I think the way the Chiefs win is if the Eagles turn the ball over. We know that Jalen Hurts done a great job. I think the way the Chiefs win is if the Eagles turn the ball over.

Starting point is 02:39:27 If they can find a way to force a couple of turnovers, get some extra possessions, but you're right. I mean, I haven't made my official pick, but you're making me lean a little bit towards Billy as well. So the first four games of this season, Jalen Hurts turned the ball over seven times. And then they had their bye week. And from that time forward,

Starting point is 02:39:42 he has turned the ball over three times, zero in the playoffs. They have obviously, well, what they figured out is, we've got Saquon, we have this ridiculously good defense. Do not put the ball in harm's way no matter what. And great offensive line. The only way that will happen is if they're playing from way behind.

Starting point is 02:39:58 And it's kind of hard to put them way behind because their defense is so good. They would have to make some pretty significant mistakes. Now, I don't know where he said it. I was flying down here yesterday and I saw a quote from Sean Payton where he said he thinks the Chiefs, I would defer to you guys, have a significant advantage in special teams in this game.

Starting point is 02:40:15 And so maybe that's where a big play comes. Somewhere on a run back, I think you have more confidence in Butker than you do in Elliott. Let's see if there is a, maybe special teams winds up. I think the Chiefs playing from in front force the Eagles to do stuff they're not comfortable with. If you look at basically every Super Bowl, there's a special teams play that's made.

Starting point is 02:40:33 That's huge. Oh yeah, for sure. And Sean Payton was one of them. Whenever he won, he kicked the onside kick. That was against us. So like Sean Payton thoroughly believes it because it's a real stat. And the Chiefs have a Hall of Fame

Starting point is 02:40:43 special teams coordinator in Dave Toe. We're just field position too, like field position that people don't talk about if you you pin them inside the 20s. With good defense too we're talking about here. If you can keep the field position in your favor, that's another way to pass. You got a better punter. I like Arise. Arise is a dough. I like Arise.

Starting point is 02:41:01 Yeah. Especially everything he's been doing. He is a dough. Really good. For him to go out there and he like half swings and the ball just explodes off his foot And I think he's like I think he has a little bit more athlete in him like I think he'll make plays like I think He hits different punts. I think he's a dog. I like him a lot. I like their chief special teams Yeah, I like tobe a lot a lot. I have a stat based off of what greenie said. I knew I saw it earlier

Starting point is 02:41:22 First four games Jalen hurts had over 30 past temps every single game since that earlier. First four games, Jalen Hurts had over 30 pass attempts every single game. Since that, he's only had one game where he's through for over 30 pass attempts. That was against Steelers. He was 25 of 32. They just kept throwing.

Starting point is 02:41:33 They gotta get the lead. They have to have the lead. So yeah, to that, like they figured it out that, hey, let's take care of the ball. Let's run, stake one, and let's. And they haven't lost a game that he finished since that time. The only game they've lost in that entire time

Starting point is 02:41:44 was the game where he got the concussion in the first half. Do you guys talk about Big Dom's presence this year versus last year? Do we think he's a factor? Yeah. That hasn't come up. Do you anticipate that being? Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 02:41:55 Tell me. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see what happened last year, brother? I think so. When he got suspended? That was pretty much when it all fell apart. I do remember that.

Starting point is 02:42:03 Yeah, did you talk about it? At the time, I think we did talk about it. This season, look, I don't know. I think Nick Sirianni is an interesting person. I can't make up my mind whether Get Up doesn't really like him. Yeah, you guys hate him. You guys kill him. We guys have lower thirds that are like, this guy is a... A big dumb dipshit.

Starting point is 02:42:19 That's what you guys said. Well, I mean, but that's strong. But there was a moment in time this season where I genuinely thought he was going to get fired. It's remarkable when you think about it. But when he was yelling at the fans, or as it turned out now, fan, but the way that whole thing looked in that moment after what was it, the Jacksonville game

Starting point is 02:42:39 was sort of a lackluster win. Loved it. Yeah, it was awesome. Run the ball. It was awesome. He was yelling at them. They were like three and two. And, but I think you have to give him a lot of credit

Starting point is 02:42:48 because he, look, the buck stops with him. At the end of the day, we can give all the credit in the world to Vic Van Jo and to Kellen Moore and to all the talent and all that sort of thing. But if things had gone sideways, we would have blamed him for sure. So it's not fair to put the coach in a position where if everything goes bad, it's his fault. If everything goes well, he deserves none of the credit.

Starting point is 02:43:10 That's an unfair position to take. So I think you have to give him credit for this team having studied itself after what I think was a fairly uneven beginning and being where they are now, which is they look like the best team in the league. They had to replace both coordinators, and then you talk about changing your play style, that's one thing to manage a quarterback, but you gotta manage those egos and those wide receivers, too.

Starting point is 02:43:32 You're talking about guys who are paid and who are number one in probably 1B, tight wide receivers that's not getting 30 pass attempts, like, you know, most of these big time offense and quarterbacks want. And they were the ones that did the gatorade back, the dumb wide receivers were. So it's like, yeah, it was funny to watch a reaction about they were winning in there in the Super Bowl. Sirioni did, what did he do?

Starting point is 02:43:52 These guys didn't do anything. The guys had coach of the day. Which I think is also why he told a couple people the tongue is being back. I don't know if he said that. That was a fake press conference, I think. I don't think it was actually Coach Sirioni. Those were not actual words. We're not sure. He did not say that. We're going to make sure we clarify that. Greenie, you're the best.

Starting point is 02:44:14 Thank you for hanging out with us. I am so happy to be here. I have not been to Radio Row in a really long time. I was telling you guys last night, the first Super Bowl I ever covered, I was working for a radio station was January of 1993 I think there were six radio stations represented back then so to see what this thing has become just just that my career and my life is sort of spanned seeing what that was then to what this

Starting point is 02:44:39 is now and huge names like you being part of this thing here now that's it's it's thrilling to watch so I'm really glad we came down here. Well, the Mad Dog just walked by. Yeah, Chris Russo. I couldn't read from your face. Are you and he friendly? We were on Mad Dog Radio. We were on Mad Dog Radio.

Starting point is 02:44:54 We were on Mad Dog Radio. Oh, right, right, right. It's hard. He wasn't a big fan of the Bakken. He didn't love the Bakken. Swearing's fine. We didn't really talk. We talked to him a couple of times.

Starting point is 02:45:04 Always friendly. Well, we did. The one radio talk. We talked to him a couple of times. Always friendly. Well, we did. We'd go to the one radio row. We went to him every single time he started his show. We put a camera on his show because it's the start of his shows. The beginning of his electrifying. He's been electrifying on TV with ESPN as well.

Starting point is 02:45:16 With Steve, yeah. They're terrific. Yeah. I don't really know much about him. But yeah, we're on his channel. So we're very lucky for that. He's a very unusual person. Let's put it this way.

Starting point is 02:45:25 He would consider the 85 Bears too recent a reference. Yeah, we hear that. Like, he would be like, man, I don't know anything about the 85 Bears, but you want to talk about, let's talk about Star. Let's talk about, you know, you're talking all this about Patrick Mahomes. No one talks about Bart Star.

Starting point is 02:45:39 Yeah. Mahomes could hold Sid Luckman's jock. I think he loves Edibles, too. I think he starts with Otto Graham, and then we go from there. He does love Edibles, which I'm a big fan of, just like Granny. All right. We appreciate you, man. Guys, enjoy.

Starting point is 02:45:52 It's been wonderful to see you. So you're on the Eagles. Sounds like it. Wow. My official pick is Kansas City, because it's already been published somewhere. But I actually think the Eagles are going to win. The get-up bottom bar this morning was all Chiefs.

Starting point is 02:46:05 You guys did it. My pick wasn't on it. There were four of them, so my pick was not on it. So if that's wrong, it wasn't me. Well, I like you picked both of them, that's great. Yeah, yeah, good move. That's sports media, innit? That's sports media.

Starting point is 02:46:17 Ladies and gentlemen, I might do the same. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, Mike Greenberg. Yeah, Greenberg. Greenberg. Greenberg. Man. See ya, Greeny. All right, Greenberg. Yeah. Greeny. Greeny. Man. See you, Greeny.

Starting point is 02:46:26 All right, Greeny. We'll see you at the hotel tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Yep. Yes, sir. All right, Greeny. See you, Greeny.

Starting point is 02:46:36 See you, Mike. All right, Greeny. All right. That was sweet because he got the full experience of Radio Row. Yeah. He should be at Radio Row. They should be at Radio Row. They should have their set right there. Yep. Prince of Mukhamara needs his own booth. Mr. Yeah. He did. He should be at Radio Row. They should be at Radio Row. They should have their set right there.

Starting point is 02:46:45 Yep. Prince of Mukhamara needs his own booth. Mr. A? Holy fuck. Speaking of a guy who deserves his own booth, a man who is a king of this town because he brought a title to this town, a man who we've been lucky to chit chat with a few times

Starting point is 02:46:58 but not nearly enough. Ladies and gentlemen, whole favor. Drew Brees. Yeah. Drew! Wow. Holy shit. Holy shit. Drew Brees. Yeah, Drew! Wow! Holy shit. Here we go. Yeah, Drew!

Starting point is 02:47:08 Yeah, Drew! Now, we are sorry. I'm great. It's good to see you. I got to tap up on the fellow side. Oh, how do you see me? Yeah, half to. Long time coming.

Starting point is 02:47:16 Long time coming. This is a big deal. I'm excited for the end of this. Thank you. All right, Drew, how are you? Here we go. Drew Brees. Drew Brees.

Starting point is 02:47:24 Drew Brees. Drew Brees. Drew Brees. Drew Brees. Drew Brees. Oh, yeah, yeah have to have time come to long time coming big deal I'm excited for the end of this. Thank you. All right, Drew. How are you? Here we go There it is Wow doing good Wow Seven years in the making that's that's I needed that for me I did is there is there a is there a back story? Did last time we were on Radio Row with you in Miami, I was on kind of the corner, and our producer was down below. And he was wearing Cuban stuff. And he looked great, so I get it.

Starting point is 02:47:55 Cuban Z. He looks sweet. Isn't that Mark Cuban or like Cuban? No. Like a Cubano man. Not, no. Like white linen suit, little Habanera hat. Yes. Yes. Yes. Like we're rolling cig, little of a vest. Yes, yes. Like we're rolling cigars in the corner here.

Starting point is 02:48:08 And you went down the line of everyone that was up there, shook their hand, and then when you got to me, you basically just pushed your elbow right into the back of my neck, gave him a handshake, but in the process of doing the right thing and acknowledging Cuban Z, you happen to be on top of Ty. Yeah, killed him. So Ty has remembered that. I have. I put him in a jujitsu choke hold and didn't even realize it was him. Yeah, pretty much. Exactly.

Starting point is 02:48:37 But so that tap right there was big. Huge. So we made it right. We did make it right. We're back. Proud of you guys. Absolutely. Speaking of making it right, Purdue, boiler up.

Starting point is 02:48:47 Then you win the Super Bowl for the Saints against Colts. We had the lead at halftime. You guys kicked it on that cake. You seemed like you wouldn't miss a pass. And then you guys are winning the Super Bowl for New Orleans. Congratulations. But we and I have been an admirer of the way you operate for a long time. Last year, Radio Row, I think it was last year. Yep. On

Starting point is 02:49:12 Fridays of the Radio Row, because of all the people that are here that come and ask me to do their media stuff, it's impossible during the days. Yeah. Because there's like so many things to do so it's hard to talk. So Fridays is whenever I go out and I just hit everybody that I talk to so I'm in the middle of doing that and boy I saw the video it looked bad. I want to let you know it looks bad You were saying Pat Pat Pat in this video And I'm like right here about to head somewhere, and I just exit stage and don't even acknowledge you I won't let you know when I saw I felt like the biggest dick out of all time. I am a fan

Starting point is 02:49:44 I did not hear you. I promise you that's the case. And if there was ever any feelings from that moment where you're like, fuck this guy, I understand. Because when I saw the video I was like, that is gonna be tough to say I didn't hear you, but I promise I didn't. To make you feel better in full disclosure. Just to really, really clear it up. And to just like, you know, I was actually, it was Pat Fryermuth was behind you. And so I was like, Pat. Oh.

Starting point is 02:50:09 Pat, move. Yep. Okay. That makes sense. Okay, because that was off camera. I didn't see that. No. Okay, good.

Starting point is 02:50:17 I was absolutely talking to you. Okay, okay, okay, okay, good. Yeah. All right, well, I do apologize. It's okay. Boy, another Pat being in the conversation would have been great. Would have been huge. That would have been huge for me. I would have just, oh, okay. Look, it took me. It's okay. Boy, another Pat being in the conversation would have been great. Would have been huge.

Starting point is 02:50:25 That would have been huge for me. I would have just... Look, it took me a few days to get over it, but I eventually got over it. Okay, so we're in your city right now. Yeah. Okay. Thomas Morse that was on yesterday,

Starting point is 02:50:35 obviously teammate of yours. I saw you guys took the picture about Zero Punts and all the great things. Do you know that story? I've seen the pictures. I don't think I know completely. Thomas Morse had punted here for... Shoot, a long time. 10 years maybe? I mean, my entire career. Yeah, so know that story. I've seen the pictures. I don't think I know completely. Thomas Morse had punted here for?

Starting point is 02:50:45 Shoot, a long time. 10 years, maybe? I mean, my entire career. Yeah, so whatever that was. Yeah, and you guys take a photo and post it and about zero punts. How does that come together? So we had this, I mean, obviously, you

Starting point is 02:50:58 love to go into a game and just have such offensive output to the point where you're scoring every time you touch the ball and you literally punt the ball zero time. So basically, going into every game, it was like, Thomas, I know how hard you've worked this week. I've seen you in the weight room writing down. You know he journals every single exercise

Starting point is 02:51:17 of every single workout, right? That makes sense. I did not know that, but it makes sense. So laser focused during practice, pinpoint accuracy, was dropping this baby inside the 10 or experimenting with these different punts, the Aussie rules and all this stuff. And I'm like, Thomas, I know how hard you've been working this week, but my goal is that you do not touch the field.

Starting point is 02:51:35 Yes. Right. This game. And so that happened on a handful of occasions. And every time it would in the locker room after the game, we would get a picture together throwing up like the donut. So zero punts, zero times touching the field. Congratulations, Thomas.

Starting point is 02:51:51 Your average salary per snap just went way up. Like I'm trying to get you in the top 10 all time. Yeah. Right? Yeah, Peyton was trying to do the same thing for me. And I want to let you know, I don't know if Thomas and I viewed it the same exact way. If we weren't punting we were winning and

Starting point is 02:52:06 if we were winning we were celebrating. I like celebrating. Yeah, no doubt. So that is all I was trying to get to. However we need to win is good. That is a funny relationship, the quarterback punter thing. That's a funny thing I didn't really think about. Peyton gave me a speech one time, I was having an ice game.

Starting point is 02:52:19 I was shanking balls all over the place. Comes over and gives me, are you okay? He's like, no man, It's not going well out there. You know I didn't think about him being like hey asshole I'm coming off the field You to come on the field, maybe they try to do our job. Let's talk about you being a quarterback of this city though Okay, we've been down here obviously the humidity is insane. Yeah, absolutely insane Your Texas boys are probably a little bit used to it, but this city obviously Whatever you guys were in the middle of your run, came alive. Felt like you brought a lot of happiness to this place.

Starting point is 02:52:50 And I feel like everybody would talk to Drew Brees as God down here. You know, like, you can do no wrong. How do you feel about your relationship with this city, and what was it like to win four New Orleans? This is the way I would define, I think, just like the overall attitude, culture, and vibe of this city is that this region has suffered a lot. You know, and like forget the football side of it, but just like life in general, like you think about the number of hurricanes that have come rolling through here and the devastation.

Starting point is 02:53:16 You have the BP oil spill that we were all a part of 15 years ago. You have the tragedy on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day. Like, it just seems like one thing after another, man, this community, this region has just taken hit after hit, right? And yet, it's just built this resiliency and this resolve. And so it just makes them appreciate the good times that much more, right? And appreciate all the uniqueness and all the character that this region has. And so when you walk around town, truly, if you're talking to a New Orleanian,

Starting point is 02:53:50 there's an energy and there's appreciation, there's a gratitude, and there's like, man, come let me show you what we're all about. They're excited. There's one thing with Southern hospitality, there's another thing with New Orleans hospitality. Got it, I'm fine. They wanna show you the best of. Some towns are like, man, tourists, get out of here.

Starting point is 02:54:07 We don't want you. New Orleans is like, man, welcome. Welcome. We're going to show you a good time, man. We're going to feed you well. Like, we're going to entertain you well. And you're going to leave here saying, man, that place is special.

Starting point is 02:54:18 Yeah. And I'll tell you what, we've been eating great down here. Absolutely. We've been eating great down here. The vibes have been immaculate down here. Great host city. Excited for the game on Sunday. Good.

Starting point is 02:54:27 I think we got the right game. Don't you think? I agree. Yeah. Look, I mean, say what you say. Say what you want about the Chiefs. I. OK, so you say what you want to say about the Chiefs because there's a lot of people

Starting point is 02:54:37 saying a lot of stuff about the Chiefs right now. And I think that happens when you're great. I don't know. I'm going to bring up a different perspective. OK, I like that. Which is, you know, this debate about who we think is going to win and what the game and I think that happens when you're great? I don't know. I'm gonna bring up a different perspective. Okay, I like that. Which is, you know, this debate about who we think's gonna win and what the game plan is

Starting point is 02:54:49 and this and that. I think we need to look at what happens to these teams if they were to lose. Okay, I don't think, has this question been posed? I think this is the way you have to look at it, is if the Chiefs lose this game, man, missed opportunity for the three-peat, missed opportunity to have done something

Starting point is 02:55:09 that has never been done before, unprecedented. But still, they're a frickin' dynasty. And still they got Patrick Mahomes for the foreseeable future, and they still have this core that they're probably gonna be back next year, right? What if the Eagles lose this, right? Two out of three years, they've come to the Super Bowl and they've lost this game, right? next year. Yeah. Right. What if what if the Eagles lose this? Right. To two out of three years, they've come to the Super Bowl and they've lost this game. Right.

Starting point is 02:55:29 How are we ever going to get past the Chiefs? Right. Like if we want to accomplish what we want, how are we? So to me, if you said who has the most to lose? I think it's the Philadelphia Eagles. OK. So in that conversation of the most desperate team usually wins. Hunger is dog. Who's the most desperate team?

Starting point is 02:55:51 Like from a game plan perspective, look I heard what Greeny said, look like this Saquon Barkley factor, to me the only weakness the Chiefs defense has is their ability just to stop the run consistently. And if you can stay ahead of the chains, that takes away the spags, you know, crazy pressure stuff. If you're in a third long game against these guys,

Starting point is 02:56:12 forget about it, you're done. But if you can stay ahead of the chains, you can run the ball effectively, you can eat up the clock as you're going down and scoring points, the best thing you can do is keep the best player in the world on the other side off the field. This is a game of probability.

Starting point is 02:56:27 If Mahomes usually gets 11 possessions per game, let's figure out a way to get him eight possessions a game. And we do that by possessing the clock, by controlling the game, by running the football, and getting points and just freaking pounding away at him. Not being scared to matriculate it down the field, which they've been able to do, unless the other team can't stop them. The amount of explosive runs that Saquon Barkley has, his average touchdown length this year, 20-plus touchdowns,

Starting point is 02:56:53 32 yards or something like that. You know why? Because the, you think it's because of the touch push? No, no. The read, you're talking about Saquon Barkley's average rushing touchdown. 31.5 yards or something like that. 32.5.

Starting point is 02:57:07 It's the Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry factor, right? I've never seen running backs, and this is not to take any credit away from those two guys, Derek Henry or Saquon Barkley. I've never seen guys more times in a year go unabated into the second level of the defense and have a one-on-one opportunity with an open field tackler like a free safety or someone and then you make that guy miss and you are off to the races and it's because the quarterback is a threat. When the quarterback is a threat you have to account for him with a body. You have taken someone out of the box who

Starting point is 02:57:41 otherwise would have been a tackler that you would have had to worry about. So you're getting more and more opportunities to get to the second level, which good luck tackling those guys in space. Like, good luck. Both of them are freight trains when they get momentum going downhill. So Saquon, by the best decision he made was to go to Philly and to have a quarterback who gives him that opportunity. And the O-line, right?

Starting point is 02:58:03 And the O-line. Yeah. have a quarterback who gives him that opportunity. And the O-line, right? And the O-line. Look, O-lines for not like all these factors. But the QB takes a defender out of the run game. Changes the math. It completely does. If you will. D-Bot has a question for you, Drew.

Starting point is 02:58:14 Absolute headache. Now, speaking of absolute headache, talking about some of your all-time great offenses, I know as a defender, if you talk about guys that played in the league going into that Superdome, you guys would create an avalanche. It'll be those seam routes, dig routes, a screen route anytime here and there. Sean Payton, what he was able to do with Bo Nicks early on.

Starting point is 02:58:34 And then just all these young quarterbacks, I feel like offensive coordinators move. They have a good year here, they go get a head coaching job. How long does it take, in your opinion, for a quarterback and a play caller to kind of get on that same page where there's some pateco? Look, it takes time. I mean, just, you know, you look at that QB class last year, obviously six in the top 12, pretty remarkable. You know, Sean Payton, you knew was going to go with someone.

Starting point is 02:58:56 He kind of kept it close to the vest for a long time. But the minute he drafted Bo Nix, I remember calling him and saying, hey, did you get your guy? And like emphatically, it was like, we got a guy. Loved him. You know, he loved him. And Sean, obviously he's a QB whisperer. Obviously he's a great evaluator of the position.

Starting point is 02:59:11 But I think what he loved about Bo was, first and foremost, the guy had 60 plus college starts. So high level starts. You think about the level of experience that Bo Nix came into this league with. High level of maturity. You watch the offense that he was in. Man, great processor of the game.

Starting point is 02:59:32 Understood where his eyes should be. Man, balls coming out on time. Very accurate. You know, say what you want about the short passing game in college football, which everything seems like it's these easy completion RPOs. But man, his down the field percentages were really good. So Sean just, man, he had this formula,

Starting point is 02:59:47 and he had this, like, you know, this thing that he was looking for, and he found it in Bo Nix. And as you watch their year progress this year, man, early on, it felt limited as far as the offense. That I know, like, Sean, man, Sean's offense is complex, man, there's a litany of things he wants to do. But man, you gotta make sure the Q can handle it, you gotta make sure the offense, and man, the There's a litany of things he wants to do. But man, you got to make sure the cue can handle it.

Starting point is 03:00:06 You got to make sure the offense and, man, the cue's trying to learn the offense. He's trying to develop chemistry with his guys. He's trying to learn the speed of the game, like what wins and loses in the NFL. But man, you just saw this thing progress. Game after game, his eyes getting more comfortable. Oh, they're opening up the playbook.

Starting point is 03:00:20 Oh, I didn't see that in the first six weeks. And now I'm seeing it, right? Better turning his back to the defense and the play action. College football nowadays, it's all, here we are, shotgun, just staring at the defense, getting the ball out quick. The minute you got to go under center, it's a different ball game, but that adds a huge element in the run game.

Starting point is 03:00:36 And it certainly complements your play action game. Sucks up the linebackers. Right? Sucks up. Like to me, that's an element that you have to have in your offense if you really want to open up, you know, kind of the full breadth of what you're capable of. So you saw that more and more as the season went on. Obviously, he's very athletic.

Starting point is 03:00:50 He can get outside the ball. In fact, I think he's at his best on the run outside the pocket. So for all those reasons, I think Sean is right. He does have his guy. And you saw that thing progress as the year went on. And you complement that with some playmakers, a good run game, a great defense on the other side. And man, you got the tools. What do you mean whenever you said,

Starting point is 03:01:08 our quarterback still has some Ferris Bueller in him? Is that something he's, what did he mean by that? Good question. Because that was, he and him got into it a little bit on the sideline. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he said, this guy still has some Ferris Bueller, or quarterback still has some Ferris Bueller in him or something.

Starting point is 03:01:20 Yeah, I think that's probably like a little off script. Yeah? What do you think he meant by it though? That's what I'm saying, like off, like Sean. Oh, Ferris Bueller, off script. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a little off script, you know, what do you think you meant by that? That's something said like off like oh Sean. Oh fair Just like a little unpredictable. I get it. What you know, what's supposed to do that? I got eyes were supposed to be here and all of a sudden like he's running over here How'd he get over there, you know, so I think that's what he meant But that that's part of that offense is you know, we always looked at the pass game as an extension of the run game Right. So like we're gonna take that five yard completion that seven yard completion even if we completely miss a block up front

Starting point is 03:01:48 It doesn't matter. We're gonna get the ball out if our eyes on that What record did you have you had like? 7,000 straight completions What is that that's accuracy that's offense Why do you think you were able to complete like fucking every pass? What that was kind of I think that's a lot of preparation too from him You know you knew like yeah throwing the ball in on time. That was your thing right now Thousand yards against in their offense get to him get the ball

Starting point is 03:02:18 Let me start with this. I wanted to be an offensive lineman's best friend Okay, All right? Like I love those guys for the sacrifice they made and what their job description is. But at the end of the day too, I wanted them to know like man, like my QB is going to bail me out sometimes as well. Like I whiff on Aaron Donald right here and my QB is still going to find a way to get this thing out and take the hit and get a positive play so we can keep this drive alive. Now, all of a sudden, all the attention is not going to be on me for missing that block

Starting point is 03:02:50 and just throwing up a seven-yard sack. You know what I'm saying? This sounds crazy, but QB rating, you get docked for incompletions. You get docked for throwaways. At times, that can be the best decision you make on a play, is throwing the ball away. Because we have to be masters of probability, right?

Starting point is 03:03:10 We're sitting here at second and nine. If I take that sack, and we're at third and 15, my chance of success the next play is not very good, right? It's probably like 9%. But if I can avoid the sack with a throwaway, or even find a little two yard completion on a check down and I'm at third and seven Man, my chances of success just went up like 25% and I just I made everybody else look a little bit better, right? So man, I wanted to be an O lineman's best friend and I knew it demoralized the defensive line because eventually they're like damn it

Starting point is 03:03:38 No matter how hard I rush no matter how much I beat this dude in front of me. I'm not getting any sacks, right? So there's something to be said for that. Were you looking out the bottom? Is that what you were doing? I'm watching these highlights. Dude, I would get made fun of. I'd get made fun of so much. Yeah, I would be on my tippy toes sometimes.

Starting point is 03:03:55 Believe it or not, I've got clips where I'd come off a play action, okay? And we'd have some sort of like, we called it sting spear. So post and then like deep over, right? Kind of your classic, we're gonna clear the safety and corner out and then we're gonna run this thing on the other side. And I would come off a play action

Starting point is 03:04:12 and it would be like a wall in front of me. Dude, am I hooked up here? Yeah, you're good. I would, okay, I would come off this play action boom and I'd get to here and I couldn't see. And I would literally jump just to see where the free safety in the corner were. And the minute I would land, I would know where to fire that ball. It's like you're golfing on a hilly golf course.

Starting point is 03:04:34 Like you're aiming at a tree, like the third tree over should be down on that side. You know what that is? That's survival, bro. That's survival. It absolutely is. Because it's my job to see. And I can't come back to the sideline and coach look at me, hey, what happened? I can't see. Well, that's not an excuse.

Starting point is 03:04:49 That sounds like a you problem. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's unbelievable. Well, I want to let you know, it was fun to watch you play ball, dude. You were, I guess efficient would be rude. Calling you a quarterback manager is rude. Saying you could do everything is rude. I don't know what the proper way to describe you is, but you were good at everything and your leadership was insane yeah like watching the boys rally around you I think is probably the biggest compliment that anybody can say because it's a one for

Starting point is 03:05:15 you One, two, win for you. Three, four, win some more. Five, six, win for kicks. Seven, eight, win, it's great. Nine, ten, win again. Win again, win again, win again, win again, win again. Woo! Yeah.

Starting point is 03:05:42 And then your hair's on fire and you go get a dub. Yeah, you do. That's right. And you would just throw zero incompletions every time. Beast. That was unbelievable. Thank you for what you did for the city, for the game. Absolutely.

Starting point is 03:05:52 And you're with Crown Royal. You look incredibly cool. The watch and jacket combo. Yeah, top notch. Very, very cool. And I'm glad you pointed out the jacket because, you know, I got a little goodie bag for you. No way. Check out that, man. No way. That is a black satin starter jacket.

Starting point is 03:06:08 Shut up. You got Crown Royal, you got NFL, you got Super Bowl 59 man. Check that thing out. Stop that. I mean that vest is pretty sharp but I'm just saying. Look and that's retro. You remember starter jackets back in the day? Oh yeah.

Starting point is 03:06:23 That was the jam. Hey that's supposed to be. This one's supposed to be. Hey, that's going to come in handy. Winner in Indiana. Yeah, you're damn right. It's been a winner everywhere. I don't know if you've been experiencing it.

You think he could beat AQ Shippley? Four, five's pretty good then. You think he can beat AQ Shipley? Four or five is pretty good, then. You think he can beat AQ Shipley?

Starting point is 03:07:46 I haven't seen his game, but... I think he's about 14. You can beat AQ Shipley. I don't know. I would hope. AQ's pretty good. He gets that hurry up on that thing. He does.

Starting point is 03:07:56 He doesn't even know the rules. Yeah, yeah, look, it's finesse. It's finesse, and then right when they least expect it, you just give them that wrist action. Right at their body. Yeah, right. Yeah, body shot's worth two. Okay. action. Right into body. Yeah, right. Yeah, body shots were too. OK.

Starting point is 03:08:05 Boom. Good sport. That's a game. All right, Drew. I think you've got to go somewhere. Yeah. I've been told there were 10 minutes over. So I do apologize.

Starting point is 03:13:34 People that watch our show, both at home and here, we appreciate it. It's a weird setup. It is. I feel like I'm working out for the Cowboys. I never. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It does feel like there's, but because I don't know if we out for the Cowboys. I never do. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it does feel like there's but because I don't know if we're supposed to engage. And then if we engage and we can't really talk and then you can't engage.

Starting point is 03:13:51 Yeah, there's nothing to engage. But we would like to say thank you to you. Sorry, we have not engaged as much because we're trying to talk to people getting to talk to people. Drew Brees was awesome. So man, he knows a lot about ball shockingly. Yeah, that was crazy to hear. He's got to do this, got to do this. If it's at this, it's that.

Starting point is 03:14:07 Ron Rivera killed it as well. Oh, yeah. He's back. Remember it felt like he almost maybe fell out of love with football there for a bit. And then he's back. He's about to get fired. Yeah, that's what we were wondering. I wonder if he heard that from us.

Starting point is 03:14:18 No, he didn't because he came up to the mic. So he definitely did. Hard game. And maybe he was. That is a big part of this week. Hard game. Yeah. Yeah, things get, you know part of this week. Part of the game, yeah. Yeah, things get, you know, things get said. Yeah, they do.

Starting point is 03:14:28 Yeah. Right, a long season. We said a lot of stuff about a lot of people and like a lot of those people have come up and said hi to us so. Alright, inside Super Bowl jokes. Yeah, I love that guy. We all do. Alright, let's get the hell out of here.
