Beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley Boat, the Thunderdome. On this football Tuesday, July 29th, 2025, this program begins now. Football! It's happening all around the NFL in training camps in 30 cities. I should have done the math there before I won for that one. I think you're right. Oh, I, I don't know, 30 cities. You get it.

32 teams that are at training camp right now and trying to build the best team that they possibly can to maybe make a run at the Lombardi. We're chit-chatting about this before we went live about how, you know, predicting how tough a schedule is going to be for any team at this particular point is a pretty outrageous thing to try and do. Who knows what injuries are going to come before the season? Who knows what team is going to turn it on? I mean, did anybody think that the Washington commanders are going to be good last year? Absolutely not. They almost win the whole damn thing. Now, obviously, the Philadelphia Eagles are as dominant as they were, and they're certainly

maybe in the middle of starting a dynasty as they're combating against, obviously, another dynasty that's happening in Kansas City. We know a few teams that are going to be great, but there's going to be teams that aren't going to be shite. There's going to be teams that have been habitual, shitty football teams that are going to end up being good this year and are going to surprise the hell out of us in all those things that are happening at all these camps right now are what lead to that potential success. So whenever we see a highlight, we should be excited.

Whenever we see these guys working their ass off, we should be pumped up. Whenever we see them get into a little bit of a scrum and get excited about a little physicality, we should be jacked up. But we need to understand that there's so much growth from now until the actual season kicking off. There's so much development. There's so much a finding of a team that can happen in the next few weeks that can turn you from being maybe ass into maybe dynasty. Okay. That's what training camp's all about.

Now, obviously, before we get started, we've got to send our thoughts, prayers, positive vibes to everybody that was affected in the Midtown Manhattan shooting at 345 Park Avenue yesterday. An asshole, a piece of shit traveled from Nevada all the way over there, walked through Midtown Manhattan with an AR-15, went into the Blackstone and NFL building at 345 Park Avenue, and four people end up dead with another one in critical, stable condition that worked for the NFL. absolutely horrendous act, absolutely terrible. And the fact that they are linking it from a note in his pocket to football being the cause of this is obviously devastating for us in the sporting world and sport community. We think football is a beautiful sport. We think it is the best sport on earth. Yesterday it was obviously a cause in an asshole's mind to go do something terrible and horrific in New York.

We said nothing but positive thoughts to everybody that is going to be affected by that. We saw the Blackstone offices getting boarded up, couldn't even imagine the mindset going back into that building, let alone just people at 345 Park Avenue, but everybody in New York, obviously you're around a lot of people when you're in that city. Anything can pop off at any time, whenever something like that takes place where a guy's just walking through the city with an AR-15 perspective is put in real quickly that, hey, we've got to be on our P's and Q's out here. We got to understand that although we are all hoping for a much better society in a perfect world, and I think a majority of humans all feel the same exact way on what early. and planet earth and the United States could be. There's always going to be people that are without a lack of better word, and it was said a lot, evil. There's going to be evil people. Now, he said he thinks his brain has CTE, and he had mental health issues beforehand,

and that was obviously being used as a reason for all this is going to have. It can't happen, okay? Can't happen, and we hope it never does again, but the reality is it will, and we've got to make sure that we are continuing to provide society with a reason to be happy and peaceful as opposed to continue to move on, worrying about assholes doing asshole things.

With that being said, from football, I don't want to say I speak for football, but we hate the fact that we are being associated with this because all we're supposed to do is make lives better. That's what sports are supposed to do. It's supposed to unify people, not supposed to get people to drive across the country with a gun and go kill people they don't know.

Okay, so that's how we feel. I think that's how everybody from sports feels that I have talked to and absolutely devastating. We will now be hopefully, a little bit of a distraction from all the potential negative happening or a little bit of a celebration of what the football world has going on that isn't that like training camp and dreams taking place all over the world you know we talked to peter shregor yesterday and he said that the NFL network execs tell you that august is actually their most watched time and obviously the NFL network doesn't have playoff games and everything like that in january and december and february obviously the super bowl which is when everybody else's numbers are through the roof because they have the games and everything else's everything like that. But everybody watches the NFL network in these training camps because every team has optimism. Every team has a highlight coming out. Every team has a new player doing something that's like, wait a man, that's the missing piece we needed right there. There's a chance that

this could be the best year in the history of the NFL and it's all starting right now. The toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Hey, here's some baseball stuff happening. Yeah. Bryce Harper with his beautiful hair. Great. Handsome face. Oh yeah. Beard. Incredible baseball resume yeah okay and name manfred came in there hey boys how we thought you sorry cat hey hey hey what we're doing Bryce say you get the fuck out of you we don't want to hear you negotiating with us we don't want to hear because allegedly there was something about going around to PA as well and how is that whole thing going to go I heard some rumblings at the all-star hearing when I was talking to some of the players about some of their fears and everything

like that literally right I was it also yeah embedded in it this feels like there's some Big shit right around the corner here for baseball. Like very, very big. We're talking about baseball being in a surge. Okay, that's what we've been talking about. Right. And I think we all, nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler, I think we all agree baseball is doing a little something.

Yeah, biggest star is showing up in the biggest moments, and that's when you get the casuals in. That's what any big-time sports one. That's what the run, kind of run the MLB has been on. Home run derby up at 5, 6% of what it was. I mean, baseball good right now. Yeah. But then if you forecast at a future in this moment, it's like,

oh, no. Is this all for not? about to take a massive step backwards and they're not going to be able to get a new CBA done. Is the salary cap going to get implemented and people are going to get pissed? Are the players going to not only maybe get struck like a strike, but are they going to get held out, locked out of this entire thing? I mean, it feels like there's some real shamp brewing. When does this all happen?

And we're going to have jet passing on at 1245, 1240-ish. This feels real for baseball, yeah? Yeah, I think so. I mean, like, it didn't really happen, but it kind of started with the COVID year when they were, because they basically were saying, like, hey, if you're one of these players, players who's making a bunch of money, you're going to have to take like 60% of your salary because we're having less games. And all those guys were like, no, absolutely not. So obviously you get guys who are signing 750 million or a guy like Bryce Harper or Judge, they're making $400 million.

Like if a salary cap is implemented, like guess what? Those guys are going to be standing to make a lot less money, probably you would think, because teams aren't going to be able to pay these exorbitant numbers for one player. And let's just say the stars of the game when it's been played one way for forever, they're not all of a sudden going to be the ponies who just say, like, yeah, go ahead, you can cut my salary in half. That's fine. Half, that's probably dropping, I mean. Yeah, I mean, some of these guys stand to lose, like, a lot of money. Hundreds of millions of dollars.

And they're just, they're not going to go quietly into the night. I laugh because, like, that is the reality of the situation. Yeah. That is real deal. If the salary cap gets put in place, they'll start putting percentages on each player. Hey, your best hitter gets this percentage of the salary cap. This pitcher gets this, just like football does. And that's going to obviously cap things.

I assume it would make a lot of ass teams more competitive. Because if there was a cap, there would be a floor. They'll have to spend to the floor, right? So we'll talk to passing. We'll talk to passing a little bit. See what he's got going on. Anything else happening in baseball? Yeah, there's still, you know, some gambling allegations.

What? More negativity? Yeah, same team, too. So it's kind of, we'll see. I don't know what's going on in Cleveland, specifically in the bullpen in Cleveland, but they're saying a lot of these guys are very suspect right now. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?

So, like, Emmanuel Claese, who two years ago, he was, like, arguably the best closer in baseball, and he's just been bad this year. And then, so this comes out that says, like, we think he might be, we don't know yet. He's placed on administrative leave. There could be a gambling situation. So then some of the sleuths go out and, like, look at some of his pitches. Yeah, there's this situation where he had, what, 22 pitches with an OO count, with the base is empty. And this guy went through and was basically like, wow, a lot of these are. uncompetitive. How about a Han Rinta here going, could have made

a lot of money if we knew what was happening. Pretty obvious is what they're saying. Now, these are all allegations, obviously. Right. And the ball can hold onto your finger a little bit longer and he can throw it in the dirt. We watch people go out there for the first pitch all the time, put it in the dirt. I try to do it, put it in the dirt a little bit. So we can see how that could happen.

Right. But man, whenever there's an which is what this is, just an allegation. Correct. These are just allegations. Okay, I think there's been some that have been come to fruition and people have been banned forever. Correct. But there is just an allegation here. All the sports where there's allegations on these players,

not only are you guys being told all your cheats. Now you've got people going through your entire career looking for your most ass players. And they are good and find them. I don't know if it's GROC. I don't know if it's Mr. GPT or Mr. GPT. I don't know who it is. But if somebody's getting an allegation against them

that they're throwing games, people are automatically thinking that that's a negative. So whenever these guys look worse than they've ever, looked before, that is whenever they were giving it away. That's a tell. And they find them. And I'll tell you what, guys look like ass. And every sport. Fans of the guardians who are like, this guy was

lights out last year and he fucking sucks this year. So yeah, I can go find what's going on with this guy. He's also one of like the biggest pieces to potentially get traded. And so I have no idea. He's been placed on administrative leave, I think, to like the end of August. Yeah, obviously Eugenio

Suarez, he's the other big piece who might get traded. He got hit in the hand last night x-rays were negative so he doesn't have anything broken that's scary but oh yeah happened to show hey right well and the big thing with him was the tigers they're playing the tigers and they're saying like the tigers are the team who need him like they might so like what what a just you know yeah the universe working against you we might want to trade for this guy let's drill him in the hand and break his own classic tigers let's go to one half of the hammer cowboys apitone hey football camps all over the place we're going to be in st vincent college tomorrow live at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. The guest list from what I'm hearing is pretty outrageous.

Let's go. So the Pittsburgh Steelers, first of all, we're very thankful that I think a lot of people in that building and on that team watch the show. Yes. Like I think they are, they understand it. Obviously, we are from Pittsburgh, so we are talked about by, I think,

their friends in the neighborhoods in which they live, whether good or bad, whatever the case. So we've kind of been forced into the Pittsburgh Steelers' people's lives. Now, granted, I'm a former point. pump passing kick champion, national champion. Bingo. For the Pittsburgh Steelers. Exactly.

I don't know how many Pittsburgh Steelers' representatives won the national pump passing kick. Legitimately, I might be the only one. Whatever the case, they know us. I thought Billy Gardell won one. He did after. No, no, he did the adult one.

That was Andy Reid. Andy Reid did do that. He had a helmet on. That was a different pump passing kick than I did. He did not have full pass. Old school. That full pass. Punt Pass and Kick contest was built for me, though.

Now that you guys kind of know me a little bit. Yeah. That was a contest that was literally built for me. My mom forced me to do it. She was like, hey, you got to, this is, we're doing it. Mom drove me to this thing. She, like, set it all up, did the whole thing, and immediately just beat the shit out of her.

I mean, the little regional one, which was held at a tiny little school that was in New Kensington, I think, which is next to Plum down the road a little bit. That's where the Steelers Ringer would go. Yeah, the guy who won. I guess the guy won from like 8 to 9, 10 to 11, 12, 13. I was 14 at this time, I think. And the kid that won every year, one to this one, because there's only like four or five people competing at that.

So, like, he knew the game. Then all of a sudden, I show up to that thing. His kid's not supposed to be here. Just bar certificate on this guy. Who is this person? But that punt pass and kick thing was literally built for me. Like, that is all the skills that I have, basically, when it comes to football. I can throw the shit out of a ball.

I can kick the shit out of the ball. and I can punt the shit out of the wall. And it just so happens to be that you can go to a Pittsburgh Steelers game if you're good at these three things. And me, Jason, Tim, got a chance to go sit right on the fucking field of the Pittsburgh Steelers game.

And then we got to go to a playoff game that the Pittsburgh Steelers were in just because they just so happened to be playing against the Tennessee Titans. So it was a hell of a run. Thank you to the punt pass and kick people for putting that together. Hey, if you got a huge leg and a big arm,

you can go watch NFL, you can go watch Steelers games. That was, you got it. We go and do that. So the Steelers know us, is what we're saying. I was reminded yesterday, the biggest Steelers fan, I know, a friend of Michael Inna, she actually sent me a video that's going around. I guess I forgot you shot a universe ball for them.

Yeah, winning a Super Bowl. Yeah, so that's... Yeah, so the song with all the boys singing the song. Biggestler fan you know, huh? Yeah, Steelers' knowledge. Oh, yeah. By far. By far.

Just pissed off. Don's so bad. It's so bad right there. Tone waffles from time to time. No. I know. I know where... Sometimes he goes to the players.

Sometimes he's with his. This is she's Steelers through and through. Steelers. Does she have a microphone to talk about it every single day? No. So we don't know how she feels like that. At the end of the day, it's always the logo. Anyways, we appreciate the Steelers.

I think the Steelers understand who we are. And they've offered up everybody basically in the building for the show. So I think guys are going to just walk by, too. It's like headset. We're going to have a headset on because practice is starting at like 2 o'clock. So they have a walkthrough, I think that ends. at noon and then they got practice at two so it's like uh it should be a really good setup is what we're saying it should be a very cool day tomorrow for Pittsburgh Steelers fans NFL fans and for

us this is wild that we get a chance to experience this the last time I was at this was a little boy yeah with my dad a training camp it's crazy doesn't surprise me that a lot of people are coming through I talked to someone in the building who said the excitement for tomorrow starts at the very very top and when that happens kind of resonates through the building so that you know everyone. Everyone is very excited for tomorrow. DeButch and I sat. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah.

About four down from the Rooney family at Mr. Ersaint's funeral. We have no idea how we ended up in those rows. We were in the NFL owner's rows. Literally. Yeah, literally. They're predicting the future. Shout to the Cardinals,

by the way. Shout out. Hell yeah. Shout out to the Cardinals. Looking good. Owner of the Cardinals. bidwell great man yeah michael pilot yeah he's great man he sat right here right next to me uh at that funeral and uh got a chance to chitch out with him who was to my uh whatever it was the runies were a couple down everybody was there basically and they're all incredibly nice to us and the arizona cardinals guy was so nice and we have had to say things

about the arizona cardinals the facility in the past in their facility and everything numerous times I think he's boy, right? Yes. I think he, so I think he kind of understands what it is. The future of the Arizona Cardinals could be incredibly bright. The future of the Arizona Cardinals will have a voice on it. The future of the Arizona Cardinals, ladies and gentlemen, and the Bird Gang will be led by none of them.

Then Moon, Tyn Ship, Great, Western Pennsylvania, Interscholastic Athletic League Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion. The man who somehow accomplished, the feet of playing NFL offensive line with an arm length less than 30 inches. That doesn't mean anything else about any other parts of his body. Well, but we have seen his gut. We can assume some things. Host of in the trenches, ladies and gentlemen, AQ Shepley.

29 and 7.8s. They just wouldn't give it to you, huh? What I lacked in arm lengths, I gained in other places. see what I'm saying. I gained in head size, stomach size, and other things, you know? Ass. Yeah. Ass size. Yeah, and you got those weird shoes you wear, too, those big

fat shoes, you know, those Hoka things. Yeah, size 8. I forgot about that. Yeah, you moved on, moved on from Hocas. I'm on to Speedland. Remember the the elf blood? Oh, yeah. Somehow found worse ones. Yeah, they are worse shoes, yeah.

Sorry, to look at. Whoever created that, you did a great job, AQ loves him, and the most comfortable thing he's ever worn. Yeah, I thought we were all, I thought AQ was buying all of this. Yeah, I thought so, too. Oh, yeah, well, I'm happy, I'm happy in my eyes, don't got to see it every day, but Wednesdays, that's all I'm happy about. Let's make an announcement, you made an announcement yesterday. You are color commentating for the Arizona Cardinals this season.

Congratulations, proud. Yeah, maybe ACQ. What does this mean? What does this mean? Have you always wanted to do color commentary? How experience are you in this world? And how'd this all come together? all come together?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I've ever, that's been a dream of mine per se, but I mean, what I do on your show is essentially that for offensive line across the league. And now it's just calling it live at games just for the Arizona Cardinals, which will be really cool. And it'll help me with the In the Trenches segment, obviously, I'll get a firsthand look at Arizona Cardinals boots on the ground at every game. and um there's a part of playing other teams you're going to have to look into the other teams i get it but i got i got to be a voice to the arizona partners i got to kind of be the homer oh okay here we go okay so we lost a little bias uh or regained a little bias for make you you also will be doing

Wednesdays into trenches which we are excited about so you're going to have a great football season this year we're pumped for you congratulations coming off a great off season as well training guys you know he's been training guys how many guys did you have this off season? At 13 NFL offense line and come out to the Phoenix area and get the work in the shipyard. It's been awesome. The shipyard. That's a lot of guys. Hey. 13's a lot

of dudes. Yeah, especially because he doesn't have a facility. I mean, he's got a gym in his backyard. He doesn't flush the toilet. Right. It's a nice backyard. Yeah, very nice. Got a trampoline in the ground. So cool. So cool. You can do. You probably don't hit bottom anymore. You probably used to really crash

at that. Great backyard. But you're training these guys. Now you're a color commentator, you're hosting in the trenches, you're literally on a trophy, the trenching. Everything's doing great for you, Ake. All right, let's talk a little bit about football now. Let's talk about what's going on around the league. Philadelphia Eagles still the best offense line in football, so we should look for them to repeat, or is there another group that we should maybe be talking about and maybe given a little bit more

love to, AQ? No, I'm a big fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. I think they got a great offensive line coming back. I think Tampa had a really good offensive line. I think losing worse for a couple weeks. is going to hurt them early on when you lose your stalwart left tackle. I think that hurts a little bit. But, you know, you can look at the Buffalo Bills.

They're going to have a really good group. You can look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think they're an up-and-coming. Really? That's a big question. That's a huge question. I like their group, and I think continuity is a huge, huge, huge part of offensive line play. And when you get the same group of guys coming back, young guys to boot,

probably spent the whole offseason together. I'm getting videos from your boys and pictures from your boys. showing me, Mason McCormick and Zach Fraser riding everywhere together on the same golf card. So, you know, I feel real good about this group. I like the groups. They got Baltimore Ravens got a great group. They got Vorhees coming back from injury. Didn't really play a whole lot in the last couple years.

He was injured coming out of college. He didn't get to start last year. But I think he's going to provide some depths to that Baltimore Ravens group. So I think the Chargers got a good group. They paid their guy, obviously. Roshan Slater and Joe Alt, two of the best tackles in football. So there's some good groups. obviously there's going to be some other group to kind of sneak into this.

Who knows? I mean, maybe the Denver Broncos put together a nice group. I like their group on paper. Washington? With tons of now? Washington, I like Washington. I like tons. So I hate the fact that they lost Sam Cosby.

He'll probably miss most of the year from the playoff ACL. But they should have a decent group as well. I mean, it's going to be interesting. Actually, like Arizona Partners Group. I think they've got one of the top ten groups in the in the office. Yeah, we know. We know. We know.

We saw a tweet yesterday that we know that you think that with the Arizona Cardinals until you don't do what the tweet said you do yesterday, which we completely understand, by the way, you're going to be on that plane. He's going to be on that plane. He's going to be flying on the Cardinals team planes. That's what happens here. After what he said, huh?

You're going to hear a lot of complimenting of the Arizona Cardinals. If I had to guess, if I would not want to walk on that plane. Not a football. Coach is so smart. Fuck in it. Oh, geniuses. Yeah. You walk on that plane,

and the last thing you want to do is like, well, all right. I'm going to sit right up here. Hey, Hey, Kyler. Why is my credential not work anymore? Why is my credential not flashing green anymore? Excited for you to be biased towards them.

I bet you they are, too. They finally get somebody. I can't wait until he's on the team plan. He's watching film and he's walking back to coach. Hey, you see. Hey, you should run this. We should run a little fucking. We run a little bit.

Look, he's good at this, I think. I think he's not what he wants to do. You got to keep your mouth shut on that fucking plane. You're not on. Remember. The color commentator. You're right. Hey, let's not embarrass the program out there.

Now, if they also signed a consultant here, that's an interesting dilemma. I mean, we draw up a couple of blitzes. We got ideas, too. So maybe we're coaching. All right. Let's not, once again, we don't need to mock the Cardinal. Sure. That is what this is not about.

You brought up Slater getting paid. There's another guy who got. Pei. Bernard. Bennett. I saw that. What do you think about Bernard here, Raymond? Now, I think there's a chance. We have not looked this up. He is the first

offensive lineman in the history of the NFL. I just thought of it. Who? Milata. Does he wear him? What? The Guardian cap? I thought he had one on, yeah. Jordan Milata? I thought he had the Garnie Kep or the already made different helmet, whatever it's called.

Two different, very two different. Yeah, we're talking. We're texting the Mellis. That's what I'm saying. This is Trailblazer. This is ground breaking. Oh, that's who it is. That guy from Pittsburgh who got signed that no one likes.

James Daniels, he's not those two. A hundred million dollars? I didn't say no one. Not that guy. All right, let's get back to it. Did you know this guy? I think I've seen him play. I appreciate the fact that he marched gigantic.

human being. Ballard loves them, obviously. All reports out of coach training camp, Andy Richardson's playing football very well. Andy Richardson prepared football. Which makes us, well, you got the same source of our. We are believe ours. This guy had a guarding cap on playing left tackle, got paid $100 million. I think that is something that you would never think about, you know, just in the entire offensive line space. But this is great news for offensive linemen that Raymond's getting $100 million, right? Isn't this good? It's great news for offense line.

It should be a mandatory 10% discount if you're a guardian cap helmet guy. He doesn't wear it all the time. He just saw the clip. He didn't have it on. I think he did it for his teammates. Okay. That was nice to him. But no, I mean, he's a good football player.

And he came out a couple years ago. And this is what you love to see, right? You heard Howie Roseman's interview, you know, about sign, develop, or whatever it was, draft developed sign. I think that's a key piece that a lot of teams, if you want to get good, that's what you have to do. You have to take care of your own. You look at the good teams that have done well. They draft their guys, they keep them, they sign them.

It's not like, hey, we're going to constantly try and redefine our team through free agency. And when you reward a guy that maybe wasn't a first round pick, he gets drafted a little bit later, he kind of works his ass off, he climbs the ladder, becomes a starter, puts good stuff on tape, he's good in the locker room. and then you pay the shit out of them. I mean, this is exactly what you want to see, and this is good by the Colts. It's been really good signing. They've got a good group. They let some guys go on free agency,

but building through their own is a good step. Congrats, Bernard. We don't know if it's Bernard or Benad. That's how the boys have been saying, but nonetheless, happy they paid him. They must really love him. And also, Carly, Kaelin, Casey. This is probably the first one, right?

Yep. First big deal that has had to kind of be like, up. So they're investing in offense a line. I like that. I appreciate that. Future looks nice, especially with these highlights coming out of AR. If AR can take a hit this year, which is possible, if he, you know, can avoid and figure out how to run without getting like absolutely clobbered every single tackle. Yeah. Like there's a chance he's a guy. Yeah. Everything that we have thought he could potentially be. We've seen on these highlights. So they got a tackle paid. Obviously, we lose Ryan Kelly. We also lost fries. Fries in there. So it's kind of a, uh, uh,

a mixed-match group, that new group. Hopefully they're off and running. We'd be excited to say it. Congrats to Bernard. Now, let's talk about an offensive line group that got exposed on the biggest stage. Go ahead, D. Butt. Yeah, I saw our Colts group.

It didn't look that mixed match when I saw it. But good, good. Are you talking about offensive line? Yeah, yeah, good strong group. Two years in a row. Powerful group. But speaking of two. It is a Caucasian bunch.

Certainly. Ballard's got a tight. Big, big solid strong. Ballard has a type. Hey, I like it. But A. Q's the Chiefs. I mean, it was. all white.

They came out of woods. They came walking out of woods. Like the white walkers. Yeah. I think George Foster said, I hadn't seen this a long time. I think that's what George fought. One of the greatest fathers.

What did he call it? One of the greatest follows on X. George Foster, former offensive linemen in the NFL, black men. Mm-hmm. Haven't seen this at a long time. I mean, it was...

In 2005? Hey, good group, though. The group. Just paid Raymond. Yep. And another guy that got paid, you've been very, very high on Trey Smith, you know, Craig Humphrey's in the center as well,

but the outside of the offensive line for the Chiefs, are they going to be okay? That was there obviously a glaring weakness in the Super Bowl against the Eagles. Are the Chiefs O line going to make that step and be okay and be able to protect 15 this year? We've been saying the same narrative since 2020 when we played them in the Super Bowl

when I was down in Tampa Bay, and it's been the tackles, it's been the bookends. Can we fix the tackle situation? Their interior three is as good as anybody right now. Now, Crete Humphrey, Trace Smith, obviously. They let Tune walk, but they're moving the left tackle they got bench last year. In the first game, they're moving him inside, giving him a try. I'm not even going to try and pronounce his name.

The kid from B.W. Kingsley. The one, yeah, there it is. So yeah, so the key to this thing is this. And I said this when we spoke after the draft. What the fuck was that? Kids' names Kingsley? Kingsley.

His first name. Suamati. Suamati, something like it. There is. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great names. Maybe the best usage of the English language.

Sorry. The kid they got out of Ohio State, I said this after the draft, whenever you had me on the show, I said he was a top 10 pick. Josh Simmons, left tackle, the clips of him coming out is he is a top 10 pick if he doesn't get hurt against Oregon last year. They get him with literally one of the last picks of the first round, and he is going to be their franchise left tackle for the. the next 10 to 12 years and they got an absolute

steal with him. The clips coming out of him here it is. Look, he's just shutting guys down and he makes it look smooth. He's throwing guys like... A little dog. Yeah, he's got a little dog in him. I mean, he was arguably the best tackle in the draft before he gets hurt. He gets to go late to Kansas City in the first round.

They got an absolute steal. It was an injury that a lot of teams were concerned with, but I mean, he's young, he's coming back, he looks fierce, he's smooth as can be, he's athletic, he's strong, he's got the size. This could be a key piece for the Kansas City Chiefs. Modern technology, modern science, too, with all these

injuries, little of them being young and everything like that, being a dog and rehab, how we have everything set up nowadays. I think you see teams take those types of gambols a little bit more. He's completely healthy beginning to camp. I don't know how much, but, you know. Yeah. They're probably projecting that, I assume, at draft time. Hey,

he's going to be completely healthy by camp. Do you still know how to do? Yeah. Deal. You talked about him very loudly. You're like, hey, the steel of the draft is this guy. This guy. this guy. And of course, who gets them? Fucking cheap. And it's an offense alignment, as opposed to being like a

four-two guy. The steel of the draft is somehow an offense alignment. And who is it? Veach and Reed, yet again. It's unbelievable how great teams continue to be great. Okay, now speaking of tackles, I don't think he will be doing this ever in his career, but he's certainly becoming a trend. Go ahead, Tone.

Yeah, Hugh, we talked about Kingsley moving inside for the Chiefs after he was drafted as a tackle out of BYU. Evan Neal of the Giants is now moving into guard. Obviously, Kai Beckton did it last year for the Eagles. Do you think this is a lot of teams copying what the Eagles did because the Eagles did it and because Stoutland did it and how pissed do you think guards are going to be that

every highly drafted tackle who doesn't work out is now going to get a chance of guard over top of them? Well, listen, it's a last resort move, and that's what happens. When you start to not play nearly as well as they think you're capable of obviously drafting you in the first round, the initial move is, hey, let's just move into guard. It cracks me up whenever I was upstairs with every team. It's always like, hey, well, if he's not working out at guard, we'll just move him into center.

If he's not working on a tackle, we're just moving to guard. It's like, it doesn't always work that way. Listen, at the end of the day, Mackay Beckton is a mammoth human being. And it just happened to be that he walked in to the Philadelphia Eagles with one of the best offensive line coaches, with one of the best schemes and a scheme that fits where you don't have to do very much except just run off the football, right? When you are in his own scheme, I mean, you can run off the football and get your, get your body in the way of people and get your hands on people and your 6-6-6-7-6-8 and 340 pounds makes it look easy but if you're in a system where it requires hey you're going to be one-on-one

backside quite often in this past scheme and now all of a sudden you couldn't do it a tackle now we're moving you into guard it may not work out the same way as it did for beckton as it will for neal he's been criticized heavily since he's got in there this is a make-or-break time like he's got to make it work right now at guard or it's a wrap for him with the new york Giants. If you get two six-foot-six guys, six, you know, whatever tackle size used to be, first what guard used to be, first what center used to be, if everybody's just going to be Goliaths that can move, like we got to see that Jordan Milata guy at the S-Bee. And he can kick us, I mean, he's so athletic. Fast. It's just like, it's outrageous. Like, if he had to go in a guard

and be a pooling guard, he can figure it out if he had to do it. I assume there's going to be more athletic, bigger men. as we continue to evolve here if offensive lines are just going to become six-six straight i mean there already has been i get dallas cowboys back in the day i think used to be known for that right yeah raiders larry allen the raiders used to do that the eagles did that last year obviously lane and macaille next to each other is just like outrageous linder bomb aside the ravens were massive and it works like hey you win now can you find all the guys that can fit in together that's why the philadelphia eagles thing's so special because it's like

they're all goats and they're all and they all just get along great and they all would do whatever the hell stout tells them to do they're all paid and they're all paid yeah it's a and they got sake one as they're running back it doesn't hurt and it's like uh that's a good run you can go out we can extend some careers around here yeah we can move some bodies uh over here offensive line most important position in all of sports offensive line also most hand-to-hand combat in every single play go ahead con man yeah a cue right now josh shimmons you know you just mentioned him being a mean cuss. He also threw a mean right hook that got caught on camera today during practice. Every year the training camp, the pads come on and we get these sweet

fights. I can't wait for joint practice season as well. But as an offensive lineman, how difficult is it not to fight every single play? And then how do you know when your coach wants you to fight to show a little fire? Yeah, I don't think your coach ever is sitting there condoning fighting because I think as long as your coach played, he understands how tiresome it is to get into a fight. That's what people don't realize. If you're in the middle of training camp, like, DeButs, you notice, Pat, you notice? Like, you've seen every offensive line, and they're just trying to make it to September. Like, hey, let's just get to September.

And if we're sitting here and, you know, we got a 30-play call-it period coming up, and it's basically full-tilt, one-verse-one scrimmage. And the period before, it's a blitz period. and this defense tackle keeps putting his hand in your throat, and all of a sudden you swipe it down, he throws a jab, and now you're in a full-tail fight. I mean, you're seeing stars around your head for the next hour, and you're sitting there cramping up, and you're sitting there like,

I think I'm going to retire. I think I'm going to retire right now. You know, so whenever that happens, you hope to fight ends short so you can get back. But, man, if it's a long one, I mean, there's been times where, I mean, my legs are dead. I'm trying to call time out. I'm trying to fake an injury to get out of this thing.

like it is the absolute worst thing because you get so tired your legs get heavy your arms get heavy and you're already on jet lag because training camp that's what it is you get put on jet lag four days in that's essentially what it is you're sleep deprived you're waking up for drug tests you're going through two practices a day and I know that you know one of them's a walk through but it's still their long days meetings drag you all the way till nine o'clock at night you can't sleep because you lost a rep in one-on-one and all night that's all you're sitting thinking about you're waking up at 2 a.m. I'm waking up at 2 a.m. I'm waking up at 2 a.m. to figure out an excuse on how I'm going to tell my coach what happened during that one-on-one

and I look like an asshole. So all these things are combining during training camp, and then you get into a fight in day five or the second day of training camp, it's like, oh, this is going to be a long day. It's going to be a long day. I appreciate the fact that I didn't have to do any of that. Sure. You didn't get involved? No scuffle?

I did. I've been in two training camp scuffles. They come over to our area, you know, where we're standing. sitting and it's just like a push push push push so that helmet goes on immediately and then it's hey you got to be on the defense side too yes I and Vinny was on the offense yeah so we literally just faced each other hey what the hell we made a mockery out of the situation but if you were to put on the film when it came over to us helmets went on and we were in the scrum which you have to be boys brought in that's a whole other thing if you watch film and the offensive line is getting

in a fight. And there's three offensive linemen that are not in with the offensive line. I think you could probably pick out who's probably not going to be part of that offensive line group. I think early in training camp, you could probably figure out these three not probably going to be with the group. Like there's so much more that's going on in those fights as well. Obviously, you're very tired. But the team is watching that too. The scouts, coaches. And the camera, they keep the cameras rolling. Roll it. Keep it rolling. So, yeah, it's better be in that frame. And like you said, some people are bullshin just to be in there, just to be. But you better show up.

Yeah, I have to show. Well, I learned that at West Virginia, because people wanted to fight our team every warm-ups. It was just, it felt like, maybe our team, you know, was a part of it as well. Dogs, you could say. Yeah, we had some dogs through and through. The whole team was dogs, I think, if you were to look back at it. I have to show face. That was my immediate first reaction.

I didn't grow up in a football world, but a little standoff happens. I think it was our DBs, and I think it was probably, who knows, on the other team. and they're yelling and chirping, and I'm within, I'm 10 yards away. I'm doing my shit, though. I'm currently warming up, have to turn around, have to show face, have to yell. Then Richrodd, obviously, does a fool, hey, don't be fucking scared to get in there now. You know, with the whole, talking about me, it's like, okay, I did the right thing. Okay, yeah, I didn't know what the football world is, but yeah, you always got to show for your teammate.

Have to. Here's Josh Simpson's. My favorite, go ahead. My favorite thing is the O-line coaching. meetings like afterwards right like he's obviously echoing the message from the head coach right so he's sitting there he's like all right boys we can't have fights i like did you got stuck up for your teammate i like this let's let's watch that clip back let's like breaking it down they're like good jack good over here my man's grabbing for a helmet like i mean we are breaking this thing down

like it's a ufc fight it's pretty awesome well the thing is the uppercut seemingly the right play because it's up under there but the pads yeah because you can catch you can catch the pads there so that's not as easy the helmet grab always the play for the losing participant that is always who normally he was going first or it's first act of aggression straight to the helmet yeah we have josh simmons actually got into a fight here's mark pellous's video uh he's filming it from his camera i think so it's hard we get you'll see it though there's josh finishing a play jab boom what what what what and then guy grabs his helmet takes it off he's still in her where's the team?

I like it. Where's the team? He's got to buy itself. A lot of white jersey. I didn't like that. I didn't like that. I didn't like that either, but my man stood in there.

He stood in the pocket like Iliate Taboria. Yes, he did. Like Ilyut, DeForea. Yes, he did. He max Hollowade that thing. He said, we'll do it right here on your guys' side. Let's assume the offense is on a complete opposite side of the field. Let's assume that he's on a complete opposite side of the field.

And also, let's understand that this is very in the one. Or they're trying to get rookies a little too overzealous. Well, and also, he's got a great... That was fat. Powerful punch. He's worked on that. I think he's been in a gym before. Because the placement, too, that would have been... Now, with a helmet, not the greatest move. But he felt it. There's a rattle in there.

All right, before we get out of here, final question, it's a good one. Let's take you back to college. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, A, Q, listen, I know you are a Penn State Nittany line through and through, okay? And I'm just curious. we heard James Franklin's comments, he basically said, hey, listen, if Notre Dame played in a conference and had to play Blue Bloods like Purdue like we do, then they, you know, they wouldn't have beat us in the Orange Bowl.

We would have went to the national championship. With that being said, yeah, exactly. So with that being said, do you think, because a lot of people think Penn State might be a national title, you know, contender this year, maybe going to go, do you agree with that? Do you think it's bullshit that Penn State has this murder? is rather playing, you know, Auburn and Purdue and Louisiana Lafayette and West Virginia and teams

like that. Or do you think that James Franklin's maybe out on an island a little bit here, but overall, how are you feeling about the Nittany Lions going into this season? I think Notre Dame's schedule of yesteryear was a lot tougher. I mean, recently they're playing Duke, they're playing

Stanford. Stanford isn't what it used to be. They got one of the service schools. If they wanted the ACC, that's who they would be playing. They would. They need to come over to the Big Ten where we've made it So James, so James wants him in the Big Ten, that's what he wants. I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. That's a good way to

recruit him. Great angle. That is not a bad angle. I love what James Franklin's doing. Hey, you're fucking, sorry, yes. Bunch come on in here. I'm sure he's sound enough to play them every year. I love it. Who? Do you think James Franklin? Yeah, absolutely not. Can I give you my take on the Penn State in any lines?

I think what happened at the end of that game against Notre Dame for Drew Aller was the best thing that could happen for Drew Aller. Okay? I think it's Terrible for Penn Staters. Obviously terrible. Terrible for Drew Aller. Horrendous that that is on his resume.

But I think that is a perspective putter for Drew Aller all offseason. Nobody's talked about him. We've talked about so many other quarterbacks. So many. Drew Aller is 6 foot 6. Drew Aller can throw the ball forever. Drew Aller can run. He's got Moxie.

He's an Ohio guy. And then he had what? His worst thing of the season, basically, was his last play? It's like that, I think motivation, perspective, chip on shoulder. I think Penn State so has. all those things. And also, I think you guys still have more money than anybody else in the country.

You guys just signed the number one hockey guy. You guys signed the next Sidney Crosby, allegedly, this fucking guy to Penn State. The other sports are in the finals. Hockey made a deep run, yeah. The wrestling wrestling, obviously. The Penn State sports. Yeah, women's volleyball

are about to become lacrosse. I think everybody just needs to get ready. That Penn State sports is gearing up to take over everything with the they are constructed with CEOs and donors and boosters and they're not just collectives they're coming from actual people that have companies that are spending this money so I don't think like the Commission is gonna be able to cut them out of this whole thing 700 million dollar update to the stadium

167 million in an offseason they rate this is just money we'll take this as well we'll take you donate 10 million we'll let you to speak easy in the back door yeah 10 million is what it's gonna take hold at Jim Knowles yeah Jim Knowles from Ohio State comes out I mean just like paying Penn State is all in on sports. I love that. I like that a lot. I assume you do as well. Do you think the football team, because there's so many other schools that are all in as well, especially in the Big Ten, do you think they're going to be able to do what they did last year? And do you think they're going to be able to get even further? It's going to get real loud if they don't. It's going to get real loud because they have spent all the money in the world to keep that roster intact, right? They got their quarterback coming back. They've been able to keep both running backs. They go and coach Jim Knowles. They pay the defensive tackle. All these guys were borderline pro guys, too. Like, they could have gone into the draft as well, let alone gone to another school for more money.

So they've done everything. They've gone all in on this. They've gone all in with everything at the university. My man, Pat Kraft, is let's spend it. How much does it cost? Let's write the check for a dollar more, whatever it is, right? So he's doing everything he can to win. He's doing everything he can to put this program at the top and the upper echelon of college football

and stop Penn State from being mentioned in. Okay, well, after the top four, after the top six. Like, no, he wants to win this damn thing. And they got the group coming back. Obviously, we like the quarterback. You love that that play happened for Drew Aller. I didn't love it. But I also love the fast thing.

I know you didn't love it. But I'm just saying mindset, as somebody got death threats at the end of a season, you know, at the end of a football season, my junior year, like all off-season, it was like, I've done nothing. I think I was all-American already in two positions. I mean, it was just like, but that was just like, you are nothing in this entire world, especially with what people that are supposed to be on your side are saying to you.

Like, people think, you have done nothing for us because you missed that. Like, for him, I assume the shit has been loud. Loud. At him. And I think that's good if he's a dog. Like, I think that's a good thing if he's a dog. CJ Stroud talked about it at Ohio State. Yep.

About how he had terrible time and he got murdered. And it was like, that actually, like, created him. I think that, like, kind of calloused him a little bit for what life is. nobody wants that road everybody wants to win national championship everybody wants to be perfect do that whole thing but sometimes like the worst thing can come at a time that can really make you your best you if that makes sense yeah i agree and i've known you for the better part of almost 20 years now at this point i know you have that mentality i think i have that mentality like whenever your backs against the wall like that's when your best comes out that's me too not everybody's built that way

So I'm curious to see how he responds if Drew is that guy, right? Like this is a big moment for him because every scout in America has your same sentiment, right? Every GM has your same sentiment. So can he be that guy? Will he be that dog whenever now you're backs against the wall? Whenever it's a two-minute drill and the game's on the line and you're down and you need a score and you need a play, this year, can you make that play? Because the guys at the next level,

the guys that everyone's talking about, Mahomes, C.J. Stroud, right? Like, all these guys with that mentality, they make that play at the next level on the biggest stage, on the biggest moment in front of millions and millions of fans. Hopefully you guys are able to do it this year for Penn State. I'd be happy for you, man.

And I also hope that Pat Kraft gets rewarded, the athletic director up there for all the fundraiser. That's what athletic director's jobs are now. Yeah. Your fundraisers. Obviously, vision and everything, fundraising. 164.9 million, I believe, is what was reported. 164.9 million from 20,000 donors, okay?

20,000 different donors. They have the most CEOs out of any school in the country. Got to win. So they just got thousands of CEOs that are getting paid so much money. It's like, yeah, James Franklin, got to win. Half gone. Yeah, because Pat Kraft in that team are going to be there. He's doing his job. They're going to be there. Does James, does he have to win? Yeah, I think so. What? AQ would be. I mean, he's never. I mean, he's never. one before so I guess it's like

what's his record against top five teams or whatever that's like ladies gentlemen this man is color coming I like James Frank remember he was good he too he didn't know what was on his burger that's because it was a turkey burger

he said I like me I don't like turkey burger why is he got turkey burgers because I think it's good for a community I think you know because there's a farm right there your locally source farm to tables didn't he make that a fan

of speed bump though after he yelled at him I mean he wasn't going to fight a fan he's a little fire He's a little fire. I mean, that's James Franklin football. That's true. He was just talking shit to Notre Dame telling him come to Big Ten.

Like that James Franklin, you know, but now he has all of everything that everybody else has had that he's been competing against, I think is what he would say. And now let's see what he does with it. All right, we appreciate you. Ladies and gentlemen, Akees Shipley.

Thank you. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who has covered a sport for us over the last few years that has kept us interested in a sport that we should have been loving all along. Obviously, the MLB is taking her... I'm sorry. I saw a lot of baseball people get mad

then I say the MLB. Am I just supposed to say MLB? Obviously, MLB? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm never going to do that. It's Major League Baseball. You wouldn't say the Major League Baseball. I get it, but it's like the league.

Yeah, you say it for everything. Yeah, but that makes sense. The National Football League. The National Basketball Association. The Major League Baseball sounds stupid. It does. But that's, I'm going to say the MLB. A lot of people do that.

You know, you don't have to. I want you know, the National League. baseball people have attacks pretty hard. I know. I get it. Because there's man for giving an answer. And the one comment, the biggest comment said, he's talking to a guy that said, the MLB. None of this should count.

It's like, God dang. Ladies and gentlemen, why didn't you tell me, Jet Passing? Why didn't you tell me, Jack? And the green screen ain't working. I see it's green. Jesus. Dude, I have wanted to say to you for so long it's not the MLB. I know.

I'm sure you have right back there. I got murdered. I got absolute murder. Just trying to do the baseball. You know what? Listen, I appreciate the fact that you acknowledged it too, because you're right. If we're talking syntactically here,

the Major League Baseball, it just doesn't work. But listen, as long as you care, I don't care if you call it MLB, the MLB, just baseball, whatever you want to call it. As long as you like baseball, that is what matters. Okay, I am turning into a baseball lover. So I think that's a good thing. Now, I will say, football highlights all over the place.

And it's distracted. There is a, I'm running, I'm a dog running. And all of a sudden there's barbecue here. And baseball, baseball is fun. Gino Smith just threw a dime to a guy named Dante. He said it was the darts. It was only one. Okay, all right, then we're back here.

So baseball football right now kind of colliding, and I think it will continue for the rest of baseball season. But let's talk about the baseball's future, shall we? Because I do care about baseball. I'm getting into baseball, and is it a bad time to get into the baseball? Hey, this Bryce Harper stuff with Rob Manfred, interesting. Then the conversations that I was having with people whenever we were lucky enough to be at the home run derby, both players and other folks, it's like, hey, this CBA thing's a real

problem. When is this? And baseball can't shoot itself in a foot right now. It feels like everything's going in a great direction. Do you agree? I would like to believe that that's the case, Pat, because the collective bargaining agreement doesn't expire until December 1st, 2026. So we got like another full year plus before it even becomes an issue and a lockout potentially is in play. But where it's at right now isn't great.

And I think the confrontation between Bryce Harper and Rob Manfred really illustrates the two parties that we have going on here. On one side, you've got owners. And the owners, both publicly, but particularly privately, have been talking about implementing a salary cap. There is a salary cap in the NFL, in the NBA, in the NHL. Why does Major League Baseball not have one? And the players, on the other hand, are like, you know what? And Bryce Harper, I think, believes this too. Generations of players before the ones who are playing right now fought specifically

to avoid getting a salary cap so you could have as free of a market as possible. and so the people who play this sport can be paid what they deserve and that there's no limitations on it there's no constrictions on salary on length on anything like that if a guy is phenomenal and he's out there in free agency he can get 15 years in $765 million like Juan Soto did and so you have these two sides that have completely conflicting opinions and beyond that pat you have a history here It's been since the 1970s that owners have been pushing for a salary cap in MLB. They lost the World Series in 1994 because players went on strike to avoid having a salary cap. So there's a deep history here, and you're seeing a lot of the same arguments, you're seeing a lot of the same points.

But I would like to believe that at the end of the day, everybody involved understands. Yeah, I mean, everybody involved needs to understand. understand that you cannot lose a season. You absolutely cannot lose a season because baseball isn't a good place right now. Baseball has people like you who they're bringing in and who are actually watching the game and seeing it and being like, hey, like, turns out baseball's good. Cool sport. A lot of games. Cool sport. They've got, they've got a long way to go and a large gap to bridge before they get to the point where I think the sides are going to agree. on something and I just hope the

2007 season is not the casualty to get there. All right, a couple of years from now let's assume that leverage is being flexed by both sides right now and that a good negotiation will take place and collective bargaining will happen and will continue to have greats playing great baseball which is great for baseball right now but I will say

Bryce Harper walking right up to the commissioner's face saying get the fuck out of here. Dog. Absolutely. The boys, I know know there's some Spanish speakers and they don't understand a lot of English so maybe somebody had to translate to them what was happening there that's what i learned at the home oh no nobody nobody needed to translate what was happening when brys harper's holding a bat and walks up to the commissioner and says if you want to

talk about a salary cap you can exactly what you said right there uh yeah it's and here's the thing manfred went right back at him yes like rob manfred dropped an f bomb at him too this is my fucking club you shut the fuck up how about this give me a bet give me a bet give me a bet How about that? Nobody gives him a bat. I need a bat. That would be a... Oh, man.

What a moment. That's baseball, baby. Okay. You know, Pat, you know what that is, though? This is the first shot in the war. He takes all their bats. You don't get a bat. He takes all of them.

They can't play anymore. You know what? That looks like that's not regulation. This is mine. This is mine. That's mine. Hey, let's send them all the big-seemed baseball. You know what?

Where are your baseball? We got, okay, we only got three minutes. We only got three minutes so hard out. There's other things happening in baseball that are also, sorry baseball, not great for baseball. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Jet, what is going on with the Emmanuel Claisse situation? Obviously, he's like one of the big targets this year around the trade deadline, but now there's the gambling investigation.

He's been placed on leave. So what's going on there? Is this an issue? Because we've only, all these guys are from the Guardians. And also, not just him. Eugenio Suarez got. hitting the hand the other day. A lot of people were nervous. He might have broken it. How does that impact

his trade value and what's going to happen? Just quickly, what's going on with those two guys? Two minutes, Jay. Oh, I can do this easy. No broken finger for E. E. E. E. E. Haneo, Svarez. When you have hand issues, it can really sap your power, but I don't think teams are concerned

at this point because there is no break there. He's going to be fine. He's going to get a haul of the Diamondbacks are going to do great. In terms of Emmanuel Classé, it's things are not quite as great. when you see multiple teams guy or multiple players from the same team you worry like oh god could this be another situation like the black socks where everybody is involved in something now it was interesting to see the guardians put out a statement yesterday saying that it is

expected that these will be the only two players who are involved in it major league baseball continues to do its investigation right now and the guardians are not going to say that if MLB doesn't give them a sense that that you know they haven't found anything yet and yet we also know that these sorts of things tend to have different layers to them so I'm not going to sit here and say the guardians are in the clear at this point I hope I hope as a baseball fan and for the sake of major league baseball that that is the case but pat like let's be honest about this when you have micro bets that exist when you can bet on something like is this going to to be a ball or is this going to be a strike, you are running the risk of having a 1,200 player

population that is not all going to be immune to chasing the money, regardless of how much they make. And so Major League Baseball, you know, however much it works with betting integrity firms, absolutely needs to be pushing for the elimination of those sorts of bets. Okay. And are they going to check into umpires at all? Did you see this? I saw this codify. Hey! Nope. Ball. excuse me what that happened that not great excuse me but you just talked about micro betting and everything like that it's like i don't want to say hey that's obnoxious but that is right as somebody that doesn't really follow yeah without a doubt i'd guess he probably apologized not too long after that

yeah yeah listen sometimes guys miss stuff that's that's that's that happens sometimes that that is what that is what that is what the a bs challenge system's going to be for that's why robot umpires are necessary period all right we appreciate the hell out of you obviously gumbling, 182 games, how many pitches, what you can do of baseball. It is right for the picking. Hopefully it doesn't continue to be a thing. Jet, can Class A still be traded or no?

Like, does this affect that? I don't think anyone's going to be trading for him. I figured, but... How many games? How many games? 162 in a season. I gave an extra 20. I wish. Yes. Well, with the playoffs.

Baseball fan. That's an L.O. Me, baby. All right, ladies your gentlemen, Jeff Passer. Thank you, buddy. I didn't like the condescending big baseball fan. Okay, Jay, you're part of the problem. You've seen the headlines. Heard the debates.

The three-point ball has created a monotonous rhythm to the game. Has the three-pointer ruined basketball? And how did we get here? The rise of a three-point shot can be partially traced to an eccentric Kansas genius named Martin Manley, whose story didn't turn out quite the way he imagined. I decided I wanted to have one of the most organized goodbyes in history. 30 for 30 podcast presents Chasing Basketball Heaven.

It's happening all around us, and we're incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chitchad about it from now, all the way until February when the next Super Bowl was played. We will have football every single week until then. And for that, we celebrate. Hell yeah. Come on.

Now, there was spring football leagues that obviously we all watched, and Fisher Freight were doing their thing. Football is certainly going to always be great no matter what style of football it is. But NFL football being back and college football being right around the corner, it's just a beautiful thing.

You know, whenever you wake up and think to yourself, I'm just a few weeks away from a Saturday morning, 6 a.m. alarm. Wake up, a little coffee. A little scroll through the internet. Walk onto a stage. a few thousand, hopefully, students behind us, and kicking off

a full slate of college football. Oh, man. What is that full slate of college football, though? Oh, Ohio State and Texas is the first. We're just a few weeks away. And that's not the only game. No, no, no. The whole day.

Packed all the way until the 10 o'clocker. Boom. 11 o'clocker, sorry. We got football right around the corner. And you think about the NFL? Hall of Fame game. Two days. No big deal.

Hall of Fame games on Thursday. We will be there. Chargers, Lions will be, I don't know if we'll be at the game. Supposed to rain. Yep. So we will judge with the race. We'll be at Kent. We'll be at Canton.

Now, if it's just going to storm all afternoon, there's a chance we might not make it to the game. Plan is, as of this moment. Tomorrow, St. Vincent College, University. Yeah. Thursday, Kent. Pro football Hall of Fame. right off the highway there easy to get to

to right off the highway there you can kind of see it can certainly hear it turn the gain down it certainly can turn the game down now we found out this morning that we will be right next to a highway which classic middle America yeah that's how it works you gotta get from one place to another here that's how it goes so we'll be next to the island

but we obviously want to give everything that we possibly can to the wonderful folks that's pro football hall of fame we'll get a chance to chit chat with the entire class of this year in the first hour, they'll be stopping by. I cannot wait to learn more about their story. Cannot wait to learn more about the Hall of Fame and cannot wait for the Chargers and the Lions to officially

kick off NFL football for the year. Even though the game's going to be shite, we still love the fact that football's happened. The show is going to be awesome. The game will probably be awesome. But if I have to miss DJ Ui Ungale versus Kyle Allen because it's rain, I'm going to be pissed. We'll be there. We'll stay for it.

Okay. Well, I'll drive home. You guys go ahead. Okay. Done deal. All right. So that is an option. I'm not going to say I'm going to go home, but I do, I will not feel bad now if I go home and because you will drive home.

We will all view it the same way, right? Yeah. Tone will have his own rental? Yep. So. If we got to get out of there. If we have to. He's going to be all right.

Tone's okay. Can I watch this on NFL Proving Plus? It's on NBC, brother. Yeah. NBC, I think, is sending from our understanding, NBC is doing, I mean, they are, NBC's treating us like a. Yeah, it's like a. Sunday night football.

Okay. But yeah, you could definitely still watch the NFL premium brought you by NFL premium. And who owns that? Does ESPN own it? Does anybody know anything about that? Mentioned it to Shreger the other day

and Shreker was like, right? Didn't he? Yeah, he kind of, that was exactly. Because as I was looking at him, as I was saying, he felt like he knew more than we did about the whole situation because all we do is see like a tweet from some rat

that's like, hey, there's a chance that ESPN's going to. to buy NFL network or whatever, ESPN. Is that happening? Do we know? Does anybody know if that's happening? No idea. It's like a live golf,

PGA situation. So because our show is licensed through ESPN and technically in ESPN world, we should get free subscription right to NFL Plus premium. Without a doubt. We should be working for that. And we should also get something that we can give out. Yeah.

Don't you think? Especially if we should be able to hand these out to the people to watch. Wait a second. Are you guys getting free subscriptions like Disney Plus? CSPOS? That I'm missing out or? Oh, yeah, good point. No. No. No, we are not. Paying out of pocket for those. Yeah. Worth it, though.

Without doubt. Mouana. Mwana, too. McKenzie loves seeing the line in the sky. Oh, yeah. He meets the sky. Nemo. Yeah, all of it over there.

I'm watching these Disney movies for the first time. Dude. Not bad. What's your favorite so far? Moana is really stolen the day. I'll be honest, just strictly because, you know, big Ouse is in there doing his stuff. I think you really like Luca.

I watched it last night's real good. Luca sucks. Luca very thin right now. It is in Italy. It sucks. Luca, very, very thin right now. Yeah, he is. He was on the Yankees broadcast last night.

How was he? He was pretty good, actually. I was expecting him to not say anything. He stayed for like two innings and was kind of just having a good time. It was pretty sweet. Saw him take a picture with Aaron Judge. Crazy how tall they both are. Yeah.

You know, that picture just makes them both look like they're like 5-11. That is not the case. That was at a high altitude. Yes. He had sunglasses on? Super trim. Oh, yeah. Like incredibly slim.

Looks like he's lost 100 pounds. And I saw LeBron work, he looks unbelievable. He looks like just, I mean he's 6 foot 6 or whatever it is, unbelievably tall. How tall is Aaron Judge? Aaron Judge is like 6.8. So I think Luca was a little bit shorter. Yeah, Luca's like 6, 6, 6, 7, I see. Yeah, he looks unbelievable.

Is he still going to be able to do his shit? Yes. They'll be great. Absolutely. I don't know. I was always worried if I lost my fat that I wouldn't be able to hit the ball as far. there's a chance that Luca wonders if he can still do his

mm-hmm you think he'd be moving too fast yes well because he was his thing is molasses like in that his thing he was like going and he's still on his second step and you're gone to figure it out he might have too much quick twitch Luca might be too in shape

is anybody else saying that I can't wait for them to kill him for that oh Faso lost way too much weight now he stinks he's getting bawdy to run i can't wait for the fourth thing luca you look great we're proud of you speaking of looking great ladies and gentlemen joining us now as a man is going through a midlife crisis with his hair and we think everything else he's a college football national champion superbo champion runner cup winner ladies gentleman a j hall yeah jay i just want to let you know four people

independently texting me last night okay different parts of country okay yeah all of them said the same thing. Different phrasing. Different eras. These people all came from different ones. So the way they said things was certainly different. They said that it is very much a yarmaca on top of your head. That is basically what everybody has said. Four different parts of the country. And then you could add in my wife. She didn't text me off. She just took me. Is AJ wearing one of those the Jewish, I say yarmica? She goes, he wearing one of those? It looks like he's wearing yeah looks like he's wearing a yarmaca and i go you're not the only person i said i showed the text this guy's in california training camp this guy's on the east coast at training camp

wow this guy's in florida at training camp and this guy lives in arizona and now he's color commentator so everybody's saying it i just won't let you know i don't know if it's a lighting i think it might be and also um shalomra chalongra okay yeah i mean it's not a yama I do understand. I'm trying to grow the sides out, and that's, it's going to be weird for a long time. I would just imagine right now. I don't have any plans, but I am trying to grow the sides out. The top, who knows?

Like, that's the thing. Like, tell those people, I appreciate them consuming the product. Thank you very much for watching. Hell yeah. Hey, anything to start a little attention. I like that. Keep doing the Yamaka haircut. Keep doing it.

I will. That's good for the program. It is. There's no plans in sight. So, yeah, we're sticking with whatever we're doing. It's got the people buzzing. I'm excited for the end of all. I don't know what, no one knows what it's going to be, but I'm

Nobody goes. I don't either. We saw it yesterday. We know what the end was all. Yeah, we've grew up with like 50 people that all had this ratty, great flow. That's where you're headed, AJ? You want a little little axle note? Daddy can still let the hair flow? Is that what we're doing?

I don't think that's in the plan, but like I said, there is no plan. So who knows? I never say never. So for now we do the Yamaka until we get this. This is what we're looking for. Oh, that's perfect. It's not that long there either. The thing that I love about it is you clearly.

Never got it, like, layered, never got it, like, trimmed. Oh, I've trimmed to myself sometimes, too. Yeah, like, I didn't have any professional help, that's for sure. Yeah, it's just one length of shit just all sitting there, like a waterfall. Yeah, I learned after I got my hair, because same thing. My hair was just all the same length. Like, you needed to cut, like, we're trying to tell you. Yeah.

Like, hey, they can cut this to make it not look like it is just a, you know. So maybe you do that. Yeah, yeah, maybe. J.C. was here? Huh? J.C. I know, I almost sat down, and then I was like, you know, and I don't feel it in my bones today, you know, to get rid of the hair just yet.

Sometimes you got to feel it. You got to feel it. AJ, wherever you go with your hair, know that we will support you. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man that we have supported since the beginning, back whenever he was wearing a headset in the booth. That's right. Remember? Even further back.

You can go all the way back to when he's a scout for New England. You support the shit out of you. Amen. Hey, they got this Italian guy, huge. brain all these do-your-job documentaries they got this fucking pison walking here like this guy's this guy's a guy's supported me

threw it through at my pro day wow did he really boom yeah him and bill b so he was working whenever we came out of college yep yeah I don't think he put me on any list ladies the gentleman the general manager of the Houston Texans

Paizana Nick Casario unbelievable I can fall really far all true all true did db's work out And back in the day, I had a horrible haircut. I know you guys were just talking about haircuts.

I had a horrible haircut. So I've kind of cleaned it up a little bit. So it was kind of long, kind of puffy. So I try to get it cut once a week. So I can't stand. Like I just showed AJ's picture. I'd never had hair like that. So it wasn't quite that long.

To tell you what, you went a Super Bowl. Why don't you go ahead and do that? Let's go ahead and let that thing just kind of flow there. All the most important photos of your life, just terrible, long, disgusting hair. I think you should sign up for that. I think you should think... No, I cut my hair once. I was going bald.

I cut my own hair, so actually one summer, I was cut my hair. The attachment fell off, so I had a... I didn't have a choice. So I just shaped it. All right. And that man is now a general manager in the NFL, and he will cut his own hair so he doesn't have to pay somebody else to do it. He's been a great businessman, seemingly, since jump there in Houston.

It feels like you had a massive offseason. Let go of a couple studs brought in. some new folks traded out of the first round feels like you've been very active but nobody's been talking about it how do you feel about your offseason and how do you feel about being completely under the radar yet again like it was a couple years ago almost yeah no appreciate you saying that you know we feel like we've made some progress here in the off season i think when you look at the entire afc south quite frankly they've all improved and jacksonville's improved tennessee's improved indianapolis has improved thank you they just extended raymond there you know uh yesterday or whatever it was

So, I mean, I think the off season, the one thing that's consistent and one thing that is constant is changed. So we understand there's going to be turnover with our roster each year. So what we try to do is just kind of take inventory of where we are, try to make good, smart decisions, bring people in that we feel fit our program on a lot of different levels, both personally and then on a field as well. And this is what training camp is about to try to sort through what we have on a roster, create some competition, try to create as much depth as possible. So at least give ourselves an opportunity each week to be competitive with the rest of the teams. not only in the AFC South, but, you know, the rest of the AFC as well. Let's talk about C.J. Stroud a little bit. Obviously, his rookie season, his record-breaking, and then injuries everywhere.

I think around the team, you guys would obviously not make any excuses, but sophomore season not as great or prolific as obviously the magical rookie season. What do you expect from him? What did you see from him in the off-season? If I recall, everything C.J. Stroud has ever done is, like, perfect for being the starting quarterback for an NFL team. Has that continued this off-season? What have you seen at him from early in camp? Yeah, no, he's had a good off-season. I think he's had a good, I would say, spring of work. He's very committed, kind of started his off-season, February, March. He was around here, and then he did some throwing sessions over the summer. I think the big thing that we're trying to focus on as a team is just consistency. When you look back at last season, you know, it started well, five-and-one and then we were just kind of up and down. And, you know, offensively, it's probably Michael Cosum for the rest of the team. So I think the big thing is just trying to make improvement, trying to work on one or two things that you feel are going to make you a better foot.

football player. CJ's worked really hard. He's gained a lot of strength. He's gained a lot of lower body strength. And I think the big thing with the transition offensively is just trying to get an understanding of what we're trying to do on a day-to-day basis. So that's where we are. And, you know, he's embraced that. So we've had some change. But, you know, I think we're just trying to work collectively to try to get to a point where everybody's comfortable. So that we're ready to go that first Sunday against the Rams. I think you're always going to be ready down there, especially with Domingo's head coach. Your defense just punishes people, seemingly every preseason. This is just what we see is a defense flying around. CJ Straub being a guy,

the moves you made on offense, how your defense is seemingly always going to be. Houston Texans is way too good. Go ahead, AJ. Need to be worse down there. Go ahead. AJ. Yeah, Nick, speaking of CJs, I know you guys brought in CJ Gardner Johnson, obviously on the back end there for your defense. Can you talk a little bit about what he brings to the defense? We know, like, the competitive atmosphere that is always around this dude and how he competes and goes after the ball. Like, what does he mean to that defense and what's he going to bring really to that team? No, you articulated it very well, AJ. I mean, you've seen that in the spring work and then here in training camp.

CJ is a very instinctive, very aware football player. You don't have that much production on the ball without having a good understanding of not only your scheme and what the offense is trying to do as well. The ball seems to find him, but that means you put yourself in a position to make plays. So he's had a good attitude. He's had good energy. Honestly, he's kind of blended with the rest of the group. You know, we feel that's a pretty decent group back there in his secondary.

We've got a number of good young players. and C.J. brings a certain level of experience to that group, so excited to work with him, but he's had a good attitude. He's an excitable guy. He's a fun guy to be around. He loves football. He loves to compete, and you see that on a field on a day-to-day basis. Yeah, and he'll get four or five people this year to throw punch, 15 yards. Go ahead and make this thing second in 25, which, hey, if he's on your team, which I think your team loves those types of players, that's a good culture. I think he fits perfectly with you guys. You know, you talked about your back-end as a whole, not just C.J. G.J., one of your guys actually made it into

Darius Butler's sophomore superstar. Everything D.B. Sophomore Superstars group here is a loaded class, you know, top 100 across the board. Go ahead, D.B. Absolutely. A.J. just asked you about bringing in C.J. G.J., but you got some studs. They're already Petrie. Stingley. P. Stingley, who I think is one of the top, you know, probably two corners in the league and some other weapons. How have they gilled as a group so far early in this camp?

yeah by the way DB that's a really good list you have there those are all good football players hey that's what you saw when you were throwing at his pro day you know what you're talking about but as far as our group it's an interesting group they're highly highly competitive they're very very salty

and they really don't say a lot they just kind of show up and work petri's that way Lasseter is that way for sure I don't think Stingley has said you know 15 words since it's been here as a rookie but they kind of let their play do the talking, which you like to see. Bullock is kind of the same way. And Bullock's got a little bit of personality, but they're all kind of younger players. And when you add CD to that mix,

you know, it's just kind of an interesting group that we've kind of pieced together. You know, Jimmy Ward is still on the team and on a roster. Has a lot of experience. Jimmy's hurt right now. I know he's dealing with, you know, a situation personally as well. But it's a, you know, a pretty good blend of some younger players that we feel continue to ascend and then some experienced players. So ultimately, the big thing defensively is just trying to take the ball away, trying to prevent big plays, and then just getting the ball with reckless abandon, because that's what D'Amico preaches to the defense, and we have a lot of guys that fit

that profile. Yeah, it feels like you should get good in the back end, because I don't know if you're seeing the clips coming out of Indianapolis, Indiana. I don't know if you're seeing him, Nick. Nick's not a believer. He's the guy. He's become the guy, it appears, that we all thought he could potentially be. Do you watch what's happening in other training camps like I do?

Like, we're watching these highlights just like going. Like we are, it's a problem. I don't think it's a healthy thing. We're seeing highlight, not only Coltson, ha, ha, Nick, look out for that down there in a lot high south down there in Houston. Okay, you need to watch out for that. But do you watch what's going on in other camps right now? Because obviously there's going to be a lot of turnover from, like,

how do you balance that during training camp? For sure. You're kind of looking at everything. I mean, we don't necessarily get to see what's going on in training camp. Like I said, like I talked about a little bit earlier, like the whole AFC South has improved. So I think what we have to do is kind of focus on our team, our improvement, try to get a good foundation in place, and then get ourselves ready to go for those opponents when it's appropriate. But have a lot of respect for the teams in our division.

Not surprising Anthony's playing well. Anthony is a very talented player. But we have, I would say, we're reading what's going on. So you kind of have a lay of the land of maybe what players are doing well, what players are standing out, what players potentially could be available, but as far as video and that, we're not going to really see anything until the preseason game start. And you're seeing it a little more on a personnel basis, not so much schematically. But like I said, we have to focus on our improvement because we understand the challenge that are in front of us in our division.

And like I said earlier, every team has gotten better. So this league is about showing up each week week being consistent and having respect for your opponent. That's the way we approach it. And then try to focus on the Texans and just being a best version of ourselves on a week-to-week basis. I'll start texting you a clip show, Coltscape. You need to get eyes on knees at night when you're sleeping so you know. No, no, no. No, no. He doesn't need to. I kind of want him to see, so he has nightmares of the believers. He's kind of running all over.

You know, I got it. Never mind. You got enough to worry about it. I don't need to add to it. We know they have good players. We're certainly aware. There's no question. Thank you. Okay. Nice. So do you? A lot of them. You've change over a very important position. We obviously

have AQ Shippley on our show every single week. He's now the color commentator for the Arizona Cardinals. Don't know if you guys play him. I'm sure he'll have great things to say about you. He is really pointing out the fact that the teams that win are the teams that have great offensive lines. We've tried to showcase that because we think offensive line is most important position. You guys have done a lot. Go ahead, Tom. Yeah, Nick, whether it was fair or not last year, the offensive line you guys had last year, took a lot of heat and there was a big overhaul of the offensive line coming into this season. How do you feel about your new offensive line? And then how hard was it to trade Laramie Tonzo,

who's kind of been the cornerstone of that offensive line for so many years? Yeah, great question on a lot of different levels. I would say relative to Laramie, Laramie is a really good football player, did a lot for this organization for a number of years. Anytime you make difficult decisions like that, it's never easy. You try to have conversations, and in the end, do what you feel. Makes the most sense for your football team. You know, any decision that you make, we understand that there's probably going to be a lot

that comes along with it. But relative to our group, have a lot of players with varying levels of experience, a number of veteran players like Cam Robinson and Lake and Tomlinson combined with a number of younger players. You drafted nursery in a second round. Jared Patterson's done a good job for us. Titus Howard has kind of been the most experienced player here. So we feel like we've created a decent amount of competition there. And you mentioned it. And D'Amico talks about it all the time. Like this league, everything starts with the front, the offensive and defensive line. And really, it's about how you play as a unit specifically on the offensive line. So you need all five guys moving the right. direction, communicate in the right way, making sure that you get the blockers disseminated

appropriately. So it's going to take a lot of work. We have a new offensive line coach as well. So everybody's kind of starting from ground level. But we're going to be as good as a team as our fronts are. So on the offensive and defensive lines, when you look across the league, ultimately that's where games are won and lost in addition to taking care of the football and be in sound situationally. So we'll try to focus on that and we'll try to put the best five out there and give ourselves the best chance to win. Obviously they have to have the ability, but any five could become the five. You know, like, it is crazy how

offensive lines can kind of piece together. Don't you agree? No, no, there's no quite a part of a lot of different shapes and sizes, and I would just say, like, looking at AQ, like, I mean, the guy had an unbelievable career, 12-year career, and the reason that he lasted in this league as long as he did, because he was smart as hell

and he was tough as hell, and he had enough physical ability to go along with it, and he was able to maximize it. And when you look at offensive line play, it's really just about mitigating the disaster play and just making sure that your sound so just so that the defensive front doesn't have a direct line of the quarterback

on the inside part of the pocket or a straight line off the edge where you don't get a hand on him. He had 29 and 7 eighths inch arms. Is he the only guy that you've heard of in offensive line under 30 inches that has made it, Super Bowl champion? I'm sure if, like, you ask all the analytic gurus,

he probably shouldn't even made his route training camp. He was called that. The guy won the Remington and then he didn't get drafted until after me. Exactly. And any last 12 years. I mean, I would say another point, you know, we had Shaq Mason, had him here in Houston last year, had him in New England as well. He was 6-1, 305 pounds, and that guy started a guard for 10 years, you know, so I think

some of the times these measurables are a little bit overrated, but you can't put a lot of stuff, sometimes a guy's toughness, his competitiveness, is just overall, like, work on a day-to-day basis. I mean, it carries a lot of weight, and you see it across the league, not only our team, but other teams as well. No, I think finding out who's a dog and isn't is an easy job. That's why it's so simple to put together a good team. That's why every team is saying.

It's so easy to just figure it out, dealing with humans. Yeah, 53 of them, hoping they'll all show up and get along. That is not an easy fee. That's a psychology, sociology test. There's so much that goes into it. Oh, there's so much. Real, that's real. Honestly, this time of year, you're managing 90 players.

so understand you have a lot of people in your building different personalities you're going to go from 9 to 53 then you're going to have 16 on the practice class so you have i would say 70 different personalities in your building at once and not everybody's the same but part of our responsibility just get the right people with the right mindset and the right mentality just moving in the right direction and if you get enough of those people in the end it's going to come down to how well you execute on sundays are you um they say copycat league you know that's kind of what every league is i think uh the NBA the NHL, the NFL, and MLB. Yep, well said. All copycat leagues. You guys see the Eagles win. We all see the Eagles win. They ran the ball more than they threw the ball by hundreds. Saquan Barkley, obviously, the offensive line, D-line, four first rounders, everybody's able to go.

You see that and say, hey, this is where the league's heading? Does that change anything as opposed to maybe the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl? Like, how does that affect you as another team in the NFL? No, it's really interesting. I think there's a cyclical nature to our lead, whether it's defensive front structure or offensive personnel. We went through that experience at different points in New England. We were an 11 personnel team.

Then we were a 12 personnel team. Teams are using a little more 21, but even, you know, when you watch Philadelphia play, they're 11 personnel team, but they could run to football as effectively as anybody with, you know, opened up formation. So a big part of that is they have a really, really good offensive line, as you mentioned. Really, they have one of the best players in the league in Saquan. But what you have to do is figure out what do you have on your team,

what do those players do well, and then kind of where are the opportunities on the margins to make some improvements. But in the end, this league comes down to situational execution, taking care of the football. And at some point, you're probably going to have to get a yard in critical situation. So if you can run the ball or stop that play, then you're probably going to have an opportunity. But the league is very sick. And to your point, Pat, it's not you just copy what another team does. You have to figure out what works, but we've got a lot of smart people in this league and everybody's studying what

everybody else is doing and try to figure out can we incorporate that into our system or maybe if something else we can try. So, in the end, you have to do what's best for your players and your team within the structure of what you have. I don't know if you saw it. You say you're going to need a yard at some point.

created the tush push? Is that what we said? Yeah. Yeah, is that where we are on that? Yeah, I think I saw it on the SPs. I think it was It was on the Espes. Yeah, I think it was. I think, so maybe you call him. Yeah, he's down there in Austin, right? I don't know how far that is from Houston.

He could probably come up with the yard play for you guys. Came up for one. Maybe we could put him on a whiteboard. Yeah, maybe he can give us a play and get us a yard. Former D-1 offense alignment. People forget that about him. And Marine. No.

Excuse me, Army. Yes. Who will, yeah, let's move along. True story. Let's talk about putting a team together. Let's talk about putting a team together. Go ahead, calm, man. Yeah, Nick, every year you seem to.

to kind of support CJ Moore with wide receivers or CJ Stroud excuse me. First year you bring in Dalton Schultz kind of as his vet in there already having Nico Collins last year who's digs this year it's

Christian Kirk. You're the only guy who seems to check Schefter's notifications when someone gets released and then reach out to that team and just trade for him. I don't know why that is your move. Don't know why no one else does it. You did it with Joe Mixing last year now you did it with Christian Kirk.

Great player. What is kind of the strategy in doing that and then what's the strategy in bringing in three or having three Iowa State Cyclones on your roster because we're Go Hawks and those guys typically don't pan out. Well, Tyree Saliburton's Olympic gold medalist.

Brock Party just got big. Different sport. Yeah, no, no, no. Brock Purdy, he's one of one. He's Mr. Relevant, man. No one can do that. What are you talking about? Campbell? The guys won more games than anybody in the history of the Iowa or something. Yeah, Matt runs a really good. Meets on, we have a lot of respect. I have a lot of

respect for Coach Parents and, I mean, longest tenure coach. Thank you. In college. So I have a lot of respect for his program. But specifically to your initial question, really you're just looking for opportunities to add players through your team and there's no straight line A to B. So if a player gets released, if he makes it to the waiver wire, then he's going to terminate

and then he essentially becomes a free agent. And there's going to be competition for that player services potentially so you get involved in that. Or if you feel that's a player that you want to be able to gain his services and if you have to make a move and give up draft compensation, that that's a choice that you have to make. So we've done that a few times here in Houston. We did it back in the day in New England as well. We did it with Jason McCordy, something very similar.

So it's really just about trying to take advantage of your opportunities and make decisions that you feel make the most sense. As it pertains to the number of cyclones that we have on the team, yes, we do have three. I don't think we went into the draft with the intent to draft two players from the same program. But they were, Jaden and Jalen were both really good football players with the right mindset, that the right makeup. They kind of compliment one another. So our job is to bring as many good football players and people in the building as possible and then let the competition

sort itself out. How many Hawkeyes you got? Not enough. We have Luke. We have Luke Lechay. We took Luke in the seventh round this year. I think he's the only one. I have to check with Omar on that. But yeah, so, but yeah, we've, we've had, we've had hawks. We've had cyclones. We, uh, we had any mountaineers. We'll have to do that. We got enough Buckeyes. So we're trying to run the gamut here. We have any hustles. We have any Husky. I don't think we have any There's no reason. There's no reason to do what you just did right there.

Huskies are coming. I don't know if the huskies are ever going to come anywhere. Back. I'm sure at some point you guys come somewhere, basketball and everything like that. Don't relax. Montyers, though, everything that you're about from what I'm hearing,

Rich Rodriguez is about to create some boys for that team down in. I as well let you know that. We've got some mountaineers that are ready to run. I don't know if it's going to be this year. okay sure be tough trust it's like a hundred years the mountaineers are ready to go rich rod will get them back rich rod he knows this is a gentleman how many wins was that 10 wins shut up a j you guys gonna beat texas week one or not okay let's just talk about that let's just talk about that real quick all right we don't you worry about what rich rod's doing in the hills

of western here right now okay we're building dogs ready to become texans but if not they're going to be in annapolis colts and you don't want to see them in your nightmares brothers Speaking of nightmares, we know how much you love the American one. And we know how much you love WWE. You're in a middle training camp right now. You're obviously focused on a lot of things. But there is a huge change to the wrestling world that's happening. Go ahead, Ty.

Yeah, Nick, obviously, you're up to your eyeballs right now in football stuff, as you should be. But I hope, or, you know, maybe you're not, but if you're not going to, I think you should cut a little slice out every night to check out WWE Unreal on Netflix. As a big time, Mark, just curious, are you... Decided to see how the sausage gets made in the WW? It is very much, by the way. Exactly. You haven't seen it. I've only seen clips I haven't watched yet.

Everything. Is nothing sacred? That's kind of where I stand. It's nothing safe. I don't want to kill Kay Faye, but again, knowing you're a big American nightmare guy, we saw in the preview him and Kevin Owens kind of discussing their match from the Royal Rumble. So is that something to kind of get away from football at night? You'll maybe sit down and kind of tune into it.

it's funny you bring that up at some point i probably will take a peek at that um real quick actually when i got home last night i saw the tail end of raw on netflix and then i actually happened to listen um i was at a conference in march uh triple h was there with um one of the executives from netflix and essentially they were talking about the transition from w from usa or the network to netflix and the reach and it was really interesting kind of hearing their perspective um i did see CM Punk's monologue last night. Of course, he did a really good job. Promo! Promot! Speak the words.

Then they preview the card here this weekend. So, yeah, I mean, the fact that it's Cina's last SummerSlam match, all right. I mean, what do we, how do we think this is going to go? We'll see. We'll see. Whoa. He might lose, brother.

This could be all over. You never know. The run of Sina, the last time is now. Maybe the last time him being a champ is now, too. Never know. Just a few days out. Roman got his Jay stolen from him last night Crazy. No way.

From Bronson Reed right off his feet. Bad room. Bronson Reed? Yeah. Yeah, the tsunami's back, baby. It certainly is. Bronson's a bad man.

Bronson's a bad man. He's a bad man. He's coming off the top of a cage who's trying to tsunami. Did he do the wheelchair gimmick? No, he's just with Bronner and fall of him. Anyways, the unreal thing. I've seen the clips.

I would like to say, because I feel like everybody in the wrestling world has given their opinion on it. I was not a big fan of this thing I did not enjoy the thought of it just as a wrestling fan like I enjoy watching things that happened 20 years ago

like Undertaker and Mick Foley chit-chatting after hell in a cell and seeing the clips later in a documentary love it the rock and mankind chit-chatting after that love it all the behind I think Brock and Undertaker's moment before they go out there like years later

like I enjoy seeing it years later I just didn't know how I'd feel about it every clip I've seen is like this must watch like this is going to this is very very very good content that I assume they knew the world would love and I think if you look at early indications everybody's watching this shit Nick everybody's watching it well look as you know they know what they're doing so they obviously felt like if they put this product together like there was going to be an attraction and there was going to be interest they wouldn't do something haphazardly which is why the product has lasted as long as it has and there's still the interest in the pull that there is

I mean, I was watching clips, obviously, you know, with Hulk's passing and you're looking at some of the clips and what's happened. Think about that. I mean, he was in it for 35, 40 years and to have, to still have that reach and for the WWE to still have the attraction that it does, I mean, they obviously know what they're doing. So you can do nothing but tip your hat to them. Yeah, it was a big decision, I think, probably that was made. Hey, we're going to give this whole thing away here. But then as you're watching it, it's like, oh, people that aren't interested in wrestling are going to love this. Well, it's also like, it's kind of for the more adult fans. Like, it's TV, it's mature audiences. So, like, they're not editing anything out.

Like, those are, like, actual conversations where nothing's bleeped or anything like that. So it's not like they're just, like, oh, yeah, like the 10 to 14-year-old demo who watches every week, they're going to love this. Like, this is for the adult fans. NFL films did a great job with this, I think. From the clips I've seen, I think it is historic type of shit. I was like you. I was against it at first, but I think we had Paul Heymanel, and you asked him about his answer kind of turned me before I saw. And then I was seeing the clips, haven't saw and watched the full episode yet, but the clips have been banger after.

Great. Every clip is hit. Every clip has been great. A lot of smart people in wrestling. A lot of smart people in wrestling. Well, I think that's what's being showcased. Like, hey, you guys think this is all just like some knockoff bullshit. They've never won an award, like from the mainstream. WWU's never won an Emmy. They've never won anything for anything that they've ever done. Because I don't think they've ever been, they've always been like, oh, that's wrestling. That's wrestling. I think what Unreal is showing is, like, like hey there's a lot that goes into this with some very big brains like these are now granted

are they uh brain surgeons uh no certainly not are they uh able to do but in the wrestling road entertainment telling stories controlling crowds controlling everything it's like it's unbelievable i think it's going to i think it's very good i was a non-believer i told him not to mic me up oh i don't know this shit that's what i said yeah as if i matter i asked me to be it and i'm like Nah, I'm not doing this shit. I look forward to watching when I get the chance, for sure, for sure. Well, we can't wait to watch your team continue to bust ass through training camp. You guys thumped down there.

Feels like you guys are big-time hitters. Mad respect. They almost killed Jalen Noel. I'm pretty sure. I think it was Petrie. Yeah, how do you talk about that time? It was Higgins. Yeah, he took a little bit of a shot today.

It was actually a clean hit. He'll talk about in a team meeting here a little bit. Hey, this happens, boys. Welcome to, that's a clean hit. That's going to happen every single time. All right, we appreciate you, man. Thank you for making time. Appreciate you, fellas.

Thanks for having us on. Ladies and gentlemen, the general manager of the Houston Texans, Nick Casario. Yay! He mentioned that Omar, fella. Omar's the man. He's the guy that made that whole thing happen. Reach out to me cold last week.

Hey, hope you're great. If you want to talk to anybody, we obviously are all back, and everybody loves you. I was like, Casario, stop by? Because, hey, him. Text me back the next month. morning.

Cicere good for Tuesday? Perfect. Easy. Let's do it. I appreciate them. Texans have always been good to us. Very. He's the very good.

Yeah, he's awesome. He's always so good on the program. And they're kings of the south. He gets it. Like he's under, he understands the, like, he's a rational human. Sometimes you don't always get that with GMs. They think like, oh, like they're all consumed by the gig. He seems like a real human still.

Well, him wearing the headset, um, whenever he was up in the booth with old buddy that was chewing his tongue. That's what I was about to say. He started with Easterby, and now he was with Tomico Ryans. So who was the guy that coach Dave? Oh, Dave Colley, chewing his tongue. He got a raw deal. He got a raw deal.

He got a raw deal. Coach Dave Colley had no shot. Placeholder for Josh McCann. But what we, yeah. McCown never coached. So. The boys fought for Coach Dave. That was an interesting time for the Houston Texans.

And that was also his like first year that Easterby's running shit. This guy's chewing on his tongue, we're going to winning games. Never heard of them. The owner had just died. His son took over and they were calling him Tommy Boy. No. Yeah. Yeah.

John Watson. The whole... They turned it around quickly, though. I give him even more credit when you go back and think about what this whole franchise has been through. Yeah, but how we got introduced is in the middle of that fire is happening. It's a general manager wearing a goddamn headset up in the booth and like warding things down. It's like, hey, bud. And no.

Gary, we don't need you do with it. Then it comes on the show. And he's like, yeah, I like to be on the headset because I love. like to know what we need, what they're looking for, how it operates. It's like, oh, this guy's very, like, he's defending this. You don't think a general manager with the headsets a little bit? He said there'll come a time, I think, whenever I probably won't do it, but I need to learn what our coaches are like, what our team's like.

I did it in New England. I think we're okay up there. Yeah, I think you are. I think it is a okay. And he's done so much, so many different things and different parts of the building that, you know, him learning that. I mean, yeah, he's the guy. He's the right guy.

I don't know like you call him the Kings of the South. Yeah, me neither. Look at the banners, broke up. They've won a division title in the last 10 years, right? Well, we got a little dust on our. There might be a little dust on our banners. That doesn't mean we've got more of them. We do.

They're taking more banners down than they've put up in the last 10 years, actually. That's true. I still don't like that that happened. I completely forgot about it until right now. Me too. I don't like that you did that. I remember. I wish I didn't.

That thing. Right there. Right there. Unbelievable. Wow. Certainly. You're on that team. Yeah.

Would they take down? The participant banner. The shitty banner. The one that said we made the AFC playoffs? No. Final four banner. AFC championship. AFC championship runner up?

Is that what the banner said? No. Finalist. That really happened, though, like honestly. Oh, yeah. They got rings. Did you guys get rings? shut up.

Enough. It was a tough game, too. It was a tough game. It was a tough off season after that. A lot of re-living of that game, too. For two years. Brady gets suspended until 2016. They put the banner up.

Remember that? Yeah, that's Tom Brady was using those balls. What a wild time to be alive. Which was proven wrong also. That was a witch hunt. I'll have you know. Just to make sure we're locked in on this 2015. Hey, we need to go camping here.

You know, we've talked about it enough. We need to go camping. I don't know if you know this, AJ, but there's football highlights all over the place. If you're able to scroll, if you've got active thumbs and you're on any social media platform, you're just seeing highlights from the NFL. We were able to gather them, weren't we? We're able to piece them together so that everybody can see all the great plays. AJ, isn't that beautiful underneath that Yomaca? thinking, hey, I need to see all these things because I might not live on social media.

Yeah, I do. I do see a lot of them on social media, but you guys do a great job of compiling and putting them together. There's new ones every time you look, though. That's the best part about this time of year. And I will say there's new ones coming right before show starts, and then we send them in, and Foxy's like, what am I got a fucking, yeah, the entire graphics video department does not love whenever teams have practices at 1150 and things are coming out it's like so it's on here and just put on the well we got to put it through a whole yeah do it yeah put it in there yeah fox well can i have a drink of water no foxy show starts in 10 minutes we need up we need terry mccloren and buddy baker yeah talking to each other

on the field because that tells the story buddy baker's boots on the ground and just make it happen fox say yeah it's just as easy as that but we appreciate everybody in the back because the practices are in the morning leading right up to our show and we try to gather all the highlights ladies gentlemen Let's go camping, shall we? Hell yeah. Tell thanks, let's go camping. Let's go camping, brother. Let's start Santa Clara.

And Santa Clara with the San Francisco 49ers, Christian McCaffrey, running a little go route on number four, six, and he looks to be healthy again, Pat. Fingertip grab, obviously he flips, was in touch, could have finished that. You know, a defensive guy, let's put a hand on him. When he hits the ground, of course. Probably a young guy.

Quads look gigantic. He looks explosive. Throw his hand up right here. Oh, throw his hand up, I got him. As soon as he was, hey, if he's even, he's leaving. And he knows that. And Christian McCaffrey still has the burst, clearly. What a weapon to be back for the San Francisco 49ers.

Everybody's talked about the Niners having a disappointing season last year. That started four days before the season started. Whenever we found out, Christian McCaffrey had Achilles tendonitis. And then that jumped from one side to the other side. And then their entire season just never really got off. Now's the time to bet on the San Francisco 49ers, I think. Seeing that, great to see CMC back in full form. Absolutely. Now, banged up at the wide receiver position,

but if you have 23 healthy along that offensive line and then their big money quarterback, they are in a good position to succeed. So, yeah, 2-3 making plays at a beautiful site for 49 offense. Big money tight end as well. Obviously, George gets paid this offseason. Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, let's head to Giants camp where we saw a full moon. We've seen a lot of full moons.

That's Russ Wilson and the classic moon ball to Malik Neighbors who Shraig said is having the camp of all camps. And then what? This is the best. What is that? I think it was cleaning the top of a table.

I think he was dusting off a table. There's a table there and he's dusting it off. I thought he's a little belt-to-ed. No, what do you mean? Belt-the-E-A belted ass, bend your ass, somebody, yagga! Yaga! That's what he was doing?

Yeah. Wow, I didn't know that. I thought it was maybe a table. He thought he was an elephant. His left hand is up. Like, Straying Wind there. How about the little boy in the back

With a thumbs up, love him. If we could pause on a little boy, he just learned how to dust the table or make about to ask. Go rewind a little bit. And there he is, little boy in the blue. Loves it. You see him. Hey, thumbs up, Bob.

That's good shit, Bob. We want to see more that, bro. Shout out to the Giants. New Era. Same regime. Uh-huh. Can they win? Malik Neighbors was being put in a conversation with Justin Jefferson,

Jamar Chase, Malik Neighbors, is Terry McLaren Malik Neighbors? That's what Peter Shregerson. That's right. So that is what Giants fans are saying about Malik Neighbors. They already have him as a top three guy, top four guy. Maybe that is the case. Maybe that happens with it, especially with the dayball offense and Russell Wilson able to do his thing. But Terry McCorn's been doing it for like 10 years.

So we shall see. Hopefully Malik's able to do that. Good highlight out of Russell Wilson. I know Pittsburgh Steelers fans are like, that looks familiar, right? Isn't that what you guys were thinking? Listen, for six, seven weeks, he's going to give you incredible NFL football, okay? And then, you know, stuff happens. Let's head up to Cleveland.

We got Joe Flacko, look like that, a little bit of an 11-on-11 drill here. Carson Swessinger, the first pick in the second round, little rookie on rookie crime to Dylan Sampson. I don't know if this is a thud drill because it looked, he didn't even think about rapping there, puts Dylan Sampson on his ass. AJ, what do you think about that one, Paul? I thought this is a beautiful play Watch him scrape over the top Even if this isn't full stuff Also credit to 4-3

The safety coming down in boxing this pulling line, look at him he's going down He doesn't even blink for a second He bounces back two yards And he's on the right side On the right shoulder He forces that right into him That's great

Hey that's good fit there I think that's what people call them Team defense right there That's how you play to your leverage You know where your helps at I mean look at you all you need is a shoulder That's all I got to give you is my shoulder I'm gonna knock you back

Right here at the line of scrimmish Beautiful play I mean That's what happens You put on pads you really start to see the guys that love ball and love contact. AJ, how come not everybody can thump? You know, because there's guys that are like known thumpers. Is it like, is it the explosion of people?

Like you obviously hard hitter, but there's some guys that are same size as you, same speed as you, for whatever reason, aren't hard hitters. Like, I don't know if this guy's MOs, he's a hard hitter, but there's a chance that like he has lightning in his pads. And there's just some guys on teams that everybody gives a heads up to. Like, hey, this guy's different. This guy hits different. What is it?

I don't know. That's a good question, though. I've never really tried to put my finger on it. Obviously, it's a mentality. First, it starts with a mentality. Some people are just, like, missiles, and they don't have any thoughts in their head of, like, repercussions. If I go run my skull directly into this polling lineman, like, all they know is I'm going to try to kill this dude and do my job. And they don't think about it.

Some people, I think, they measure them a little bit and think, okay, I don't want to get hurt on this. I don't want to hit this guy at full speed. But it's also, like, a leverage thing. Size doesn't matter. We see guys that are small that are monster hitters. It's all about leverage and pad level, I feel like, coupled with the mentality. It's just, yeah, I don't know. Some people come out of the womb like that are just absolute killer.

That's what I'm saying. I wonder if more guys are more explosive than others. First guy that comes to my mind is Budapaker. Like, if you just saw him on the street, you wouldn't think. But he's on the field is an absolute assassin. You know, Bob Sanders was a guy, but he was built like he would knock you to fuck out. And then Cam Chancellor, he's a big guy built. So, yeah, it's Earl Thomas, what's a huge dude, but he would come down to lay that house.

I mean, I used to watch Clint Session. North and South. Yeah, I got... I used to watch Phil. Clint, just to watch him kill people. Oh, my God. That was Y2J, Y2CJ year. Oh, C.J.

Yeah. Chris Johnson or whatever. And third play, Clint Session, helmet, right to Chris Johnson's helmet. I mean, it was... And that was... I had a chance to hang out with Clint a lot for a couple years there. And he's hilarious.

You need to understand that that guy is absolutely hysterical. But, like, Plant is like, hey, first quarter, one of these guys got to get one, you know? And it's like, that's a weapon to have on your team. Because everybody on the other team is like, hey, this guy right here is, we need to have hands on this guy. We cannot let him free. And it was fun to watch him.

But like, it feels like those guys, like, is this guy one of those guys? Also, I mean, he was a walk on at UCLA to the first pick of the second round. You're also a guy that knows how to practice and knows how to like make splash plays to improve. You know, that's probably a situation there. that helps and happens too. Another guy. Great for Cleveland that's happening. He better not touch Jerry Judy.

I know that much. Yeah, well, Jerry Judy ain't worried about that. Yeah, exactly. He ain't getting touched. Jerry just did a milk check real quick before we were even talking about that guy. Good. He said, excuse me. Another skill, guys that can avoid.

Oh, yeah. He's Marvin Harrison, G. Guy, Yilton, guys who can, all little guys who usually play for a long time. Devante, I think Devonte does a good job at him as well. AB did a great job at that. Tyreek, I think does a good job staying out of shit. You know, another guy that does that. We're going to head down to Saints camp.

And a great connection to end the year last year, Spencer Rattler, to Rashid Shaheed, who is the burner now for the New Orleans Saints early in this camp. We don't know who the starting quarterback's going to be, but we know Rashid Shahid's going to be a playmaker for the Saints team. I love a good depot. I also love number 22. I love them. Matthew Goldman.

He did a lot of shit last year, right? If I recall, we were doing a lot of Rashid Shaheed highlights, I think. Very early for them. Great name. Yeah. I can feel the humidity through this footage. Have you seen the Tyler Shuck stuff? Because I did want to know what...

Didn't throw the football. Yeah, what happens, especially for you, D. But when... He won't throw the football, I guess. I just saw a three... Once again, we can't judge everything. But yeah, it's seven on. Is this a rip right here? Yeah, there's four or five of them, I think.

It's good defense, man. Watch them pass us all, everything off. Oh, yeah, we're talking. Throw the ball! Hold on. How about this? Gating a two, bitch. Yeah. That's not a game.

That is. First two downs you go That's a game of four We got third and medium We're in a good spot That's smart football But they have like three of these they posted And the person that posted it was like

Hey this guy won't throw the ball basically And you know he's a veteran He's a little bit older guy He played a lot of football in college Obviously he's with Brom Brom obviously great quarterback coach And everything like that But it does feel like some of these young guys

I'm not saying they weren't That wasn't glue coverage I'm not saying that wasn't the case They look like Gary Payne He was a glove out of you know bunch of islands. But I think a lot of these young quarterbacks, there is a little bit of a hesitancy to throw it because you don't know, hey, that's open.

You got to throw that now, you got to throw that now, which is what we're seeing from young quarterbacks, more specifically here, Tyler Schult. You got to let it rip, and that's what practice is for. You know, if you throw it, because it's all about timing in the NFL. You can't wait for guys get open. You got to throw guys open. And then another thing you learn is the quarterback in the NFL, incompletions aren't terrible.

Just throw it away and line up again because scrambling, like, that's not realistic. We're not getting better with that type of rep as a defense. With no line, with no rush. If there's a real rush out there and you scramble and you make time, that's one thing. But no rush you're doing that, throw the damn ball. Yeah, listen to the entire defense talk shit to that kid would have been fun. But I don't know if they're talking shit down in New Orleans. It's 150 degrees.

True. Kellyn Moore went out there the first day to speak. Kelly Moe. And this is my first time really hearing him as a head coach. And, you know, I think back to Boise State, Kelly. Like kind of same era here, young head coach. him talking to that crowd we like that it's hot

we really like that this is that's the first thing I said and I was like ah that sounds like a guy that did not fully prepare for how fucking hot it was they started moving that training camp to West Virginia yeah West Virginia hot as shit West Virginia very hot

especially in the summer they started getting out of there for how I couldn't imagine a training camp down Louisiana think about the high school kids that play down there Louisiana seriously like was arch downer sure was he I didn't know

so he's been through Louisiana training camp his whole life I mean he's in Texas already though so it's not as if I mean Texas gets up to 120 in the summer anyway yeah so he's got that just natural yeah

he does grit who do you think so be better this year between DJ Lagway Arch Manning I have a hard time picking against Arch I really do

me too now DJ Lagway last year Florida dog and I did a little more research because Debutt I love Archbany. Love him. That's what he's doing. That's what he's

That is what he's He's waiting his turn. He's been in the meetings. He's taking practice rep. He's got a great offensive coach. He will be surrounded by great talent if you're asking me just like you asked AJ that same question. This year I'm going with Lagoy.

I think they'll both be great. I think they'll both be great. but I will pick probably lagway this year and then a kid from South Carolina. I think those guys would probably be the top two guys. I think Lenore Sellers is number one in everybody's eyes, I think even for the NFL next year. But Aaron's brother, Jordan, came out from SEC Media Days. I think he said like,

Arch is like the sixth or seventh best quarter of this is all overhype and all like he really said that. Really? Yeah, in the SEC. In the SEC. And I was like, holy shit. And then Debutt comes in. I got Lagway over it.

like are we talking about the same guy right now i don't like is a guy bro arch highs manning that's how i see it happening i like that is literally how i like taking place but i think my and this might be just because of my uh relationship with the family it's like this boy this boy precepts promise just like Peyton and Eli were you know there's videos of Peyton and Eli whenever they're just little boys in Gatorade commercials and shit like yeah like hey these guys were created to be professional football players and that's the whole thing not just on the field and how you throw a ball and all that how you interact with teammates how you lead how you show up how you work it was like they've been arch has been going to the manning passing academy she's four years old so in my eyes

hearing jordan rogers say that he's going to be the sixth or seventh best quarterback in he has you see i'm like i don't know man i didn't even think of that i didn't even i didn't even think of that i just thought arch's going to win national championship with texasas this year he's going to win to heism And that is literally just how I view the Manning operation. He's a better athlete, too, than the other ones that we saw. I mean, that's, like you said, the amount of talent he's going to have around him at Texas. There's going to be some wide receiver that we've never heard of that is going to run 4-1 this year somehow at Texas. And Sarkesian's offense is all of it.

And also, like, once again, close to the situation, have literally known Arch and seen Arch since he's like, little boy, you know, in this entire thing. He got knocked the fuck out against Ohio State. Yep. No questions asked, knocked out. up right back at it. He's at the cookout. You know, he's at the cookout, and then he's losing his student ID. Multiple times.

Hanging with the boys. First week. It's like, this guy is a manning. Like, this is literally manning football. Like, way battle, too, last year. Yeah, he made the boys fought for Napier last year. I agree. I can't wait.

That's why they got to play the game. Coming out, I think they were the two highest rated quarterbacks of, like, the last 20 years. And then Nussman, Donner and LSU. Yeah, I was talking about him. Texas also has the way. Diego Pavia. Diego Pavia is obviously a dog. So I didn't, but whenever Aaron's brother said that, George, I was like, I was literally mind-blown while I was watching it.

And then you came in, like, literally a day later, I got lagway overarch. I'm like, am I? Well, you ask the question. Am I completely misreading this entire? Well, Fibb said he was the greatest quarterback since. We don't need to hear that. The preseason voting as far as first team, second team, third team in the SEC, went Sellers, Meyer and then arch. Hey, first two words of that

sentence. Say it again? Fine, bum's hit. Never do that again on this shit. Appreciate that. Okay, let's go camp. Let's go out to Arizona. Let's go out to Arizona. We got Buckeye on Buckeye Crime 1-on-1s. We got Marvin Harrison Jr. We had neighbors on earlier. This was his 10-wide receiver draft pickings from last season.

He's looking buff. He's looking good. A big second season for Marvin Harrison, Jr. probably coming here. A lot of shit being talked about Marf. A lot of shit being talked about Marf because of how it went. I think Arizona Cardinals in general, have underwhelmed a lot of people. I think they're primed for a big breakout year. And also, if we're going to stay in West Coast,

hey, don't be scared of the Raiders. Listen, don't be scared to take the Raiders, I'm saying. You should be scared of the Raiders. Pete Carroll, I'll put a little pressure on the permanent turners. We're not covering down. We're not blocking. We're not doing the entire thing. These guys need to feel a little athleticism in their face.

Let's see who's got it. This dude's 100 years old. Look at him. Proper leverage, get him the sideline. There's a white here that's returning in about a second. and he shakes the shit out of Pete Carroll. And I don't know how Pete didn't fall, right? Ooh, did not fall.

Okay. That's an 80-year-old, right? How old is he? Yeah, like, 72 or something? Yeah, he's like very, how does he not fall? And then he's spinning it. They got him spinning it, throwing like 30 yards still. Pete Carroll might be in the best shape of any 70-plus human on this earth.

He's a dog. And he's not scared to talk his shit. Hey, for 20 years, I've won 10-plus games. We're going to win here. I believe it. I mean, the energy is immaculate, and the Raiders could be all the way back. Don't look now. The Raiders might not be shite.

All right, we continue on YouTube and everywhere else. We'll see you tomorrow. From Pittsburgh, goodbye. Ah, we're in the trope. Yeah. From Pittsburgh, Steelers training. Late Troves enough. How far?

Late Trow from Pittsburgh. Like an hour from downtown, 45 minutes from Plum where we grew up. Yeah. East Toes where we were. You know, because there's so many different. We'll be able to navigate traffic. Debutt, you ever going to eat any camps as a kid? We're not going to be anywhere near Pittsburgh.

No. No. No. No. Never. It's too hot in Florida in August to go watch a practice outside. I don't know. Really anywhere. Yeah, right now. South Florida is pulling off. Absolutely not. Yeah, Thursday is what I've been told.

It's when it starts. The rain yesterday, pretty real. Yeah, and then it got real muggy. Yeah, and it was greenish last night. Did you see that? The sky? Yeah. Yeah, the sky, the last two nights. nights has been insane.

Green, yeah, green, like tornado-y feel almost when I'm looking outside, but it's at the sunset time. So I'm like, is this sunset or is this, like, tornado we feel? I think we had some wind. I think we had, I had a tree limb that fell out on this. It's like Indiana though, you can literally, any moment can fucking, get 60, 70 mile an hour winds out of nowhere. Or you can get a full torrential downpour out of nowhere.

I mean, that's classic Midwest football right there. But it's been hot everywhere, dude. I couldn't imagine. No. I'm much hotter of the guardian caps. The guardian caps feel like it would make me much hotter in my helmet. Because you can't breathe. The helmet can't breathe.

No, like it's not. What if you had a guardian cap and a visor? You're just living in a sauna right there. That's bad. That'd be awful. Yeah, the visor, I know it looks cool. The Havendah. Did you advisor?

You were a visor guy there? Yeah, you looked very cool. Had to. Did you get used to it, Dee Butt? It was weird. You ever get used to it? I tried it for like one practice. college and just like the angle of the lens was just weird for me to see yeah obviously in fog yeah now

the oakley ones were always good i never liked the other i tried a nikee one when they first came out because i think we kind of had to but i just stuck with oakley just had to black out the old but yeah oakley's never let me down i uh i put a visor on for a training camp practice and uh it didn't reach all the way down to wear my the bar had like a change the helmets yeah i had like a nice space. It was actually pretty distracting because the ball was going from shade to

it was a dark or dark vows? Yeah, dark vows? Yeah, for sure, for practice. Like paint? Farg, put it on, yeah. Put it on, put it on. I need a visor today. I think it would be hilarious. I walk out there with it. It was, it was. But I it was not good for my profession. Bad day, practice. Bad, man.

I did it with a dark bag. I know with that hair. Yeah. Especially with his big lug head that he is. Do you ever have guys go out and warm-ups in the NFL with a sweet like mirror visor, a real dark tint, and then obviously make the poor training staff take it off and put a clear one off the game?

I love you saying the poor training staff because that was like some guys go flexi-s and practice, what? Cleats, socks, visor, and then what are you going to wear for the game? Yeah, I got to change it all for the game. It's like, well, who's doing that? Cleveland stuff.

My God. They got nothing else going on right? No, no. Hey, you change these 10 visors because we're not allowed to wear those in the game, but they looked sweet in warm-ups. I think they need just let any visor go. It's a medical thing for, like, when guys are on the field. Yeah, exactly.

So you can get, obviously, the medical exemption for. Oh, that's why. So, like, if you get knocked out, they can look at your eyeballs and see if you're there. Yep. We could get around that. Yeah. We got cut the, we get cut you. cut your visor off with little scissors

or something. A skill saw. Or just a bleat, because I think you can just take a little face mask off. Mason Rood. Or if the guys just knocked out knocked out dead unconscious, we know whether he has a visor on or not, I can kind of tell. No, it's a sting.

It's a stinger. Yeah, stag. Ah, who, he has a short athlete. I got to go out one play. Oh, man. Full body. Yeah. Arms up in the air, too. Deep butt after feeling? Yeah.

Now, after. Raiders. Rators, running back. Stinger, try not to stumble. You can't stumble. Yeah, you got to get up. Yeah, take your time. Stinger.

Get on a knee. You got to get on a knee for a second. If you stumble, you got to jog it off like you're in the airport and you hit that, you know, that real slippery floor. You've seen that Edelman Amandola thing. That's all. Oh, yeah. My show you get a time out. Can we get a 30?

My foot. Stinger. You were dead two seconds ago. Nah, double stinger. My arm's skin. I'm trying to figure out what showed. They want to move to you go over there and they start doing it. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, but go.

Yeah, it's good. It's just cramp. I'll spend a cramp. Hydration, need to get back out there. Yeah, that was, and that was one good teammate. Shout out EWall. Shout out of EWall. This motherfucker's dead.

We're not putting him back out there. He said he has a stinger. He's not a fucking stinger. The guy had his eyes close, what, 45 seconds out here. I thought, thought we had to get a fucking body bag for the guy. There's no idea what play we're running right now. Diva, get your fucking ass out of here. Stinger.

all right see you let's that still happen are guys still fighting through stuff like that I hope yeah I would think so yeah definitely I hope it's not good obviously I mean we know it's not during college if I'm building a team if I'm an owner I mean we just talked about art right there literally

my team I like guys to say it stingers if they get knocked out with that being said I would like us to have good medical staff I'd like us have good eyes to make sure that that does not yeah exactly we need a couple unaffiliated, neurological. Unaffiliated.

Those unaffiliated people should be former players. Stinger. He said him Stinger. Said him Stinger. Go back here. Oh yeah, coaches also are supposed to do that. That's the Ong's job to pull you off. So I would like to say, if I was an owner, I would invest in Unx, okay? But I would be looking for players that would be trying

to lie to the unks. That is the goal. Yeah. Colts got one, too. I mean, I've never seen anyone hit their head as hard as Tyler Warren on the sideline in the Orange Bowl Oh my God In my life That was nasty, the back of his head And it was on like the tarped area

A little to the left of the sideline Yeah he was back in in the game I thought he was done for the entire game Back in the game two plays later Jackson Dart we talk about him Against Florida Right is that who it was against Florida clearly Speculation yep

Will Howard Will Howard gets knocked out right back in Michigan yeah Riley Leonard actually in that same game against Penn State got decleted. Peanut Butter Angelly came in

the one minute 20 drive before the half. Stephen Angelie. National championship too, Riley Leonard after that 17 played drive. He was very tired.

Puking on the sideline and just like, you know. Yeah, so I think yes. What we're saying is yes. It is still a Nico I amale of a three helmet. He was on his third helmet. He broke two helmets against you guys in that entire thing.

That all situation is weird. The Nico situation. Yeah. Big showcase game First week of the season Saturday night 11 p.m. against Utah. The youths are tough

always going to be tough but it is at the Rose Bowl as opposed to being in front of the biggest The must The must. The mighty Utah students are

Mighty Must Must I thought it was the biggest us I thought it was a bus Or if Coach Williamham is going to ride his motorcycle Should be a great ride From Utah to L.A.

Try to hop right over there To get on the Pacific PCH There it is coast highway oh my god my wife posted a photo of us from like six years ago we're on a bike that was such a good time you know if they could take care of these fucking roads it would be nice to get back on that motorcycle you know there's people riding in indiana i'm like at red lights i'm rolling it down like so do you just are you just looking

the whole time straight down like this just trying to avoid these trenches that we have across the streets around it? I mean, even when Kyle Larson came in, and he had a McLaren, it's like, how do you drive a car like that in Indiana? Like, it would just get ruined. How many tires did you burst on your way here? Two? Just two?

Yeah. Oh, okay. These streets have, I think everybody's gotten, right? They've gotten all of us. They've gotten me two tires. I think my Yeah, I mean, yeah, Talks like Tesla. I think when I had a Tesla, I got one. Well, who's

Some real jams in there sometimes. They got me. I just bought a bunch of tow ropes. Just in case. Yeah, just in case. That's smart because we got a lot of beaches around here. So whenever we get some of those potholes, I'm like that truck in one of those.

You got a wench on the truck? No, I do not have a wrench, but that's why I got. Wentch, it's wank. Yeah, that's why I got a soft buckle. Of course. You never understand. We never understand. Sorry, a soft shackle.

Have you seen that Jeep that I bought for $100,000 down there in America? You might go, we'll tow it right after the show. To it, yeah, right. That thing's pulling you, brother. I got things on the front and the back. My truck will pull your Jeep backwards. Your truck will not fucking touch my goddamn Jeep. If we're going to strap that thing up, I'm pulling you to another time.

Is there gas in her? No. That thing hasn't been turned on in years. It's ready. It is ready to pull your truck. What was that cafe? My truck. Pull your truck.

That was at the dugout in Fountain Square. Oh, yeah. My truck, pull your truck backwards. There's my ex-husband. Beat his ass. Two o'clock in the afternoon. Two o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday. It was the greatest interaction I've ever been a part of in public.

Guy pulls up in a big truck. Downtown Indianapolis, one part of a huge truck. It must have been like a $3.50. It appeared, you know, had big. Diesel powered as well. A couple custom modifications, you can tell. Yeah, you can tell you guys loved his truck. He did have dole's, yeah, the whole thing.

He pulls up his ex-wife, I guess, he's there with another guy. Yep. And that guy has a truck, too, I guess. and that fucker ain't shit compared to the truck that he had and then the ex-wife she was not trying to calm things down no no she didn't want the trucks to fight she wanted them to fight and what these videos is the is the lady ever trying to calm it down or she trying to insert herself at all times well she's trying to fight for her

current man it appears but at that exact moment I don't think she was trying to fight at all I think she was trying to get them to go ahead and scrap right there in front of all of us and I mean the guy got up He had it backwards hat on cargoes and flip-flops. And he was heading over to that truck to beat her ex-husband's ass. He was ready. Now, I didn't... The ex-husband actually utilized the power he had under that hood and got out of it.

But... He looked pissed. With that truck, I think there was probably a gun in there. If I had to guess, if he turned around right there, there was probably a couple different options. So I'm happy none of that took place. We're just trying to enjoy espresso martini in the afternoon. That was awesome. I wish we could go.

back to that moment. It's just having the phones out like filming already so that we could capture the whole thing. I wish more things like that would happen in front of us. Agreed. Anytime I see these things on the internet like these types of moments, I'm always like, what do I do? It's a shooting star. Why can't you fucking put me in one of these?

You get different moments now, better ones that require you to now build a gate. Oh, yeah. That's it's a great neighborhood. I'm in a great neighborhood. Yeah.

but is it normal for people just to walk and drive through your driveway like just ah yeah this is our world stand in your yard just like turn around your drive like the turn around your driveway not just turn around just fucking hang out here yeah more so like pretty good view here

take some photos of the house then uh nice house holy shit people are bossy yeah it's private property the uh you know there's a big fucking sign at the end of the thing but that's what i thought i was moving into it's not that was bill good I got a park. I run a park, I guess, my house,

when people just come hang out, fucking ride their bikes, park them. Go ahead and fish off my yard. These people get hurt. I'm getting sued for everything. That's the other thing about fishing off the back. They don't have to be in your yard to fish near your place. I mean, what was the light? You had the lights.

Oh, yeah. We got night fishing the other night out in the lake. It was awesome. Just had a splunker light on like you did when you were cutting your grass at midnight. Yeah. And he was just spotlight in my house. Just every time he was. He was out on a boat, or where was it?

Yeah, out on a boat. Anytime he would lift his head up, you see, he was just spotlighting my house. You know, 11.30 midnight, no problem. Just a spotlight coming in my windows. I'm like, we're in fucking war right now? What did I get swatted? I got swatted, go out there. No, just, so I go out.

Hey, man, I hope you catch everything you guys are looking for out there. Can you please stop putting the spotlight in my house? You know, dogs are going crazy. Got a daughter sleeping. I hope you catch everything. You do whatever the fuck you need to do. But if you're going to do that, can you just, can you shoot to the other side of the? Can you get down?

Yeah, angle it down a little bit. I think they caught a lot. There was a lot of this. Was he, was the understanding? Did you fire a few warning shots out there? They laughed. They laughed.

They didn't, obviously didn't even think about where that light. Oh, shit. Sorry. Good people. All these people are good people. But it's just like, it's 9 o'clock at night. Why are you just standing in my driveway taking photos in my house? You know, like, is that, that's weird.

That feels like. But I'm the bad guy for saying. No, you're not. I am. I am. Next time, just remember Bryce Harper. Not to any rational human. You're not.

I do maybe need to take a bat out there. Take a page out of his book. Get the fuck out of my driveway. Just the whole thing. If you want to talk about salary cap. Dude rode a bike. Okay, down this private property. I cannot keep saying this.

Enough. Private property where we are at long road down to it. dude rides his bike parks it in my driveway kickstand right in front of my house walks out into my field lays a blanket down lays a blanket down in my yard wow pops out a book has a glass of wine live in his life just he had to think so he thought it was like a park i have no idea i i i mean either way he thought of the parker he knew was your yard it's a problem he was 55 years old for whatever it was he was an adult this was not like a child just showed up with a fat little bag

fucking let me go get some want to read a book fucking blanket in my yard it's impossible to think it's a park too like there's you drive by a garage it's private like there's a whole paintball gun oh so that's a whole other thing like I don't want to be bad neighbor here

and freeze them. It feels like previous owner is a little bit older definitely frozen if we're shooting them out there um not going to do that previous owner of house I think they had kids are older and out of the house so I think they enjoy potential like

but they'd probably knew them if you know them it's different i don't know if they know them to be honest i don't know how you know that many people that were coming through so i move in and it's like they're saying how this goes i got a fucking two-year-old that would like to hang out and also i got a lot of people that say they want to kill me on a regular basis i assume you're not one of the people that wants to kill me of course hopefully are you you're at my house at 11 o'clock at night standing in my driveway all by yourself taking pictures of my house what are you doing are you planning to do so now i'm the It's an interesting dynamic.

I will say it's an interesting dynamic in this whole world. You know, it's an interesting thing. And lucky to do it, lucky to have it. I don't think people should be having picnics in my yard, though. No. Probably not. Just just not. If any of them get hurt, like that's my biggest fear is like, oh, this is and you're going to.

Yeah, we're going to. Now you own them. No, no, no, we're trespassing with the signs. You're off the hook for stuff like that. Okay. I don't know if the city would be okay with it, but you could maybe set up like a sentry gun or something like that.

And like at 11 o'clock, you just turn that thing on. And if somebody, you know, is trespassing out of your yard, actual. Yeah, yeah, like a real century gun. Jersey, Congo? No. Oh, yeah.

They set up those century guns and the guerrillas came at night for them. Those gorillas were in for something. I don't want to be that neighbor, you know? Like, I'm in a, it's a... I'll tell you, my wife does not love it I will say Samantha does not

enjoy random people just showing up at our house taking pictures of it and hanging out for a while a little bit alarming but you know maybe we get used to it maybe we just let them in the house maybe we just open the door yeah we got an extra bedroom if you guys want to go

hey we happen to live in the same zip code I guess so just fucking come on in what's mine is yours write them read a book on the couch and I'm sure you've I'm sure you know you need I'm sure you're not somebody that hates my fucking guts in which there are a lot of them. Val and Chuck are great. He needed an actual

Doberman. Get a couple of them, yeah. Shepherd. I mean, that is real. Absolutely. And they will patrol the property. Maybe I get one of those shepherd wolves. It's not a bad idea. Get a Belgian Malinwall. That thing will fly out there. Have you seen the video that's been going viral

about the difference between a Mal and a shepherd? Yeah, I had both. I've had both of them. So they have, so you haven't seen the video, though, just happened. They both exist. I saw the video. Shepherd went around it, and the Malamaw said,

shoot, I'm going straight. Yes, that is exactly right. There was a room full of like wheelchairs, chairs or wheels that like we have right here, maybe a hundred of them, somebody in the corner, in the back corner, and the shepherd like finds a path around the chairs.

Very impressive to get side, boom. And then they let this Mal, what is it? Malinwa. This thing, from where it's standing, jumps up runs on top of the chairs and just

yeah it was insane it was absolutely these are the new dogs I think if any of them were going to smell COVID it would have been the Mal the Belgian not the German dogs

great dog German shepherds are great dogs but this Belgium one I guess they're a little wired you found both of them you said oh yeah I had yeah I had a Belgian Malone we got when she was two years old she did all that I had great videos

of her doing everything jumping up you know climbing walls biting things it's great they're um are they the dogs that did the dog sports remember whenever they used to do the dock jumping you ever see those oh yeah they don't they can jump but they don't you don't really see those very often in that like they're their military dogs they jump out they're strapped dudes jumping out of airplanes and stuff and they have night vision goggles on these dogs and just landing they're awesome parachute we got this way yeah all right let's do this and there's off and

And dogs are special. They really are. Yeah, I feel like greyhounds are usually the ones that are doing those. I don't think so. The running jumps into the water. They are the sprinters. The greyhounds are the sprinters. The greyhounds are huge.

They're like the size of horses. Greyhounds are gigantic horses. Border collies, I know, are lepers like that. Pitbulls, too, right? Aren't pit bulls really good climbers? I think pit bulls have, like, incredible. Yeah, they always show those videos. They'll hang something and they'll, yeah, like run off the wall and then get it like a piece of meat that's hanging down from like a, you know,

deal did you send in a dog jumping no i found the shepherd the mile yeah this the video let's run this thing look at this we don't have it okay there's the shepherd smart let's go ahead i'm gonna get this piece of shit and you're mine that's good here's the mile and uh yep boom right to you geez when you talk about blinders john yeah all literally all that dog saw what arm am i trying to get oh it's right there fuck why did why did george the german go around all these things he's just go right through this i'm by sick of it yep there we go good luck sounds like you need to get a couple of them i do need to be sweet yeah two of them just get electric events i saw a video so i already have one i think okay and then just get that

the collar on there just keep i saw a video four dogs in the driveway with uh this dude's little daughter and some not random guy but one of their friends walks up to the driveway and all four dogs walked up to him like what's up dude yeah it was awesome yeah mackenzie's relationship with our dogs are awesome yeah and cats very cool her and the cats get along as well these cats interesting i like cats i like the way they operate you ever have a cat i had a few that uh were outdoor situations for a while that's it though i've never i don't know cats kind of scare me man i'm skittish on cats i never grew up with one never been around them until then me neither me neither never been around cats

Teddy the first cat I've ever been around awesome he's Garfield he's actually Garfield Great cat great cat Unbelievable fat huge fat cat That just has a little pizzazz Has a little pizzazz We got Nova who is a street cat

She's awesome Her and McKenzie have developed her And then we got Sebastian This black cat that he's just like He feels he thinks he's a line And when he walks in the room He would like attention You know and if you don't

He will turn his ass around and he will come back like he's like excuse me nothing you said turn around okay then he'll come in then he'll jump up on a fucking thing that's like six feet high land on it hello and it's like well hello Sebastian

how you doing he rubs his head on you it's like good to see you cats are awesome they take care of themselves they shit in their own area they piss in their own area they got their own little water thing they're basically I respect them I have a ton of respect for him I just I don't know just how sharp their teeth

down how small their mouth is and their claws, I just don't, I'm never that comfortable. The same way. You never been around them? Not, not much, but it creep me out a little bit. So they also, when they get, like, really happy, they, like, start, uh, like, rubbing their paws like this. Maybe, yeah, I've never been around, like, a happy cat. All these cats are happy.

They're fat as fuck. The amount of cat. Stay to their, to themselves. Yeah, Scootsie, we have a three-legged cat. She's awesome. She's a great. That back things, like, a little rotter, right? She's fine.

you get him a little catnip though it's a show they go crazy they'll start middle of the night it'll sound like we're in a goddamn uh jungle book or what was the uh what was the movie robin williams was in the museum jimongi jimongi oh night at the museum night at the museum maybe that is where it's like whenever they're all running oh yeah these four cats every once in all they'll sink up on what run they're going to do through the house and it sounds like a fucking stampede is coming into the bedroom like they are all running together and we have uh hard hard hard floors and they are all on it and they're all striding i mean like fucking striding out and then one of them will have a rough stop you know normally scoots if she's three-legged but she's in front

and they will slide right into a wall boom and then then you hear a and then everybody like checks on them and then they head out to a new place they're like a leader amongst them uh Sebastian Sebastian's the leader he's the fastest Nova I think is probably like the biggest dog got of all of them. Like Nova would attack. Street cat. Best looking cat, too. Nova is like a very pristine. Nova was a... Do you hang out together? All of them?

Yeah, like do they like sleep near each other and stuff? So Sebastian and Scootzy friends, Teddy and Nova, the older ones, kind of get along. Teddy, Teddy's not really about to shit. Teddy, you know, if he's running with him, I know he's either pissed off or

they are chasing him. Like he is not really a part of the group. But Nova was in a dumpster at a steak and shake. And my wife stopped late night at the steak and shake and just opened the door and she just jumped in. And it was like, well, you're my cat now. And she would, we had a dog that we were when you're like watching it and going to give it away. Foster? Fostering like a dog.

And the dog like got mad at Valerie, our dog. And Valerie got mad at her too. I don't think Valerie liked this dog in the house. So like Valerie and this dog kind of get into it a little bit. it and I have to like separate them and I come back and Nova is like hair up at that dog and I'm like what the fuck are you

gonna do Nova? She starts like circling the dog and I'm like Nova would fuck maybe die here but she was at least gonna fight for it so I think they have a little dog in them as well I've been very impressed with my cat life that I've had with Sam

I don't know how many more you know like we have four cats that's a lot of cats a couple of them old old Are they just know to go in the litter box? Is that how it works? Yeah, every once in a want Teddy, though, we'll just drop a dump somewhere. That's Teddy.

I think you could have more. See Chuck do it. Bill has 15 and he's allergic to him. He uses them as a blanket every night, so. I don't think he uses them as a blanket. I think they're holding him down on the bed. Yeah, that could be that. So that's a deal of different.

I mean, every week he gets a new one. It's. And they're all starving. Someone's got to eat the bones. They're not all starving. That's not what. Let's get out of here. We're in Pittsburgh tomorrow.

Come join it. Sorry, we're a Latrobe Should be fun Cast of a lot I think coming through from the Pittsburgh Steelers Cannot wait to chat with him Had some ex players

reach out to us about being on the show Don't think we're doing that this year 2025 training camp Just gonna be talking to a lot of the current operation We'll be great to see whoever's up there though

For sure Can't wait to see everybody up there Good Maybe not good Is it looks like Practice right now As being potentially rained out Stormed out

So today was first day of pads Which is normally When they do backs on backers and first end goal line and stuff like that. So potentially we might get to see that tomorrow. Right after our show ends, they're right into practice. That'd be good. That's a perfect setup for us.

As soon as show ends, we just get to go watch practice. That's a pretty... Yes, ideal setup, yeah. Then we head over to Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Thursday. We'll be there. Come join us. You can park right on the highway, I think. Yeah, legit.

You can tailgate on the highway that's right outside of it, And I think you'll be able to... Our sets, like, on the exit, right? So, like, you're proven. You're good. AJ, do you know that? I had no idea. Where...

So... I bet there, yeah. I mean, it's right off the highway, no question. I did not know that it was... No question. That close. I mean, it is... It's 10 feet in front of where this photo is.

There's a highway. So I think we will... We are pumped and honored to get to go over there. I've never walked through the Hall of Fame. Have you, AJ? I've never walked through. I've been. there multiple times for kids games you'll see there's a ton of turf fields over there in the back

they have tournaments but i've never actually walked through it i love that the hall of fame is like an ohio thing you know like it's a high high school plays there there there's a bunch of kids tournaments that's happening there i think the people that run it are ohio people like it's like uh i think great state of football ohio to run the pro football hall of fame we cannot wait to get over there and experience it legitimately cannot wait to experience i've never been in no never me either never we're supposed to play a game eric got cancer because i remember that you're playing the packers and they painted the fields and they got all mushy and solid right the paint congealed it wouldn't much worse than a paint well what else there was paint and then they put a tarp over top of it

and then i think they put a massive magnifying glass above it as well dry it out so that the sun would hit the magnifying glass and then it would do science and then somehow that was just on all of the paint in the entire field so it was just you know a paint then whenever they lifted it it got air and it cooled off so it hardened sure so that was good

you know that happened they forgot the catalyst for sure happened at the shipyard all the time no one would say they did it wrong what the anti melt catalyst no so the catalyst if it's a two component paint the catalyst is what makes it go hard and sometimes guys

would forget to put that in and that would make it stay soft oh so then the heat would only melt it even more. And then whenever you up it and get wind on it and everything, then that's when it melts. And you would never, you would never find a painter who would admit that they didn't put the catalyst in. No, of course, because the

painter is the smartest motherfucker in that particular conversation. Always. Are you a painter? You do the Hall of Fame? How many times you've done this? Exactly. Okay. Get the fuck out of here. I know what I'm doing. The sod fire. Imagine that I'm talking to say. Hey, what happened with the

of your, shut up? okay we're all in the same I'm doing this for 70 years how long you've been on the gig we saw the son the sod son at the old star game oh yeah and they said hey

there's a little bit more to that story we don't talk about that no we literally got a hush like hey hey hey hey it had an impact on the game it had an impact

sod father though did a lot of great things for football for a long time people were saying did he lose his magic at the end and then he was saying didn't even let me do it though kind of used a ball

kind of stolen valor to kind of using my hands name but not really let me do anything i would have done a little different i think the other guy said what we did what we did exactly what we told us to do which goes right back to yeah how long you been this oh okay class 2025 for the whole thing gonna celebrate the shit out of them this weekend starting on thursday night all these guys will join us in the first hour congrats to eric allen jared allen and tonyo gaites jesus tonyl gate sorry kent state legend yes when i want to my visit to kent state There's an entire shrine, basically, too.

So, that's sweet. He was so good at basketball. Pretty close to game, I think. So good at football. Unbelievable. Obviously, Philip Rivers just retired, like four days ago, five days ago. Congrats to him on an incredible career. And congrats to Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharp.

He's going in. I know Shannon's been pitching for a long time for him to go. He's unbelievable. First football jersey I ever had was Sterling Sharp. If he would have played long, like his career got ended way too soon by injury, but God damn, he was good. He was so. good we've never talked to sterling sharp

we've never talked to Antonio Gates no I don't think so or Eric or Eric Allen will be last in the first hour because we know Jared Allen pretty good and congrats to Jared Allen being Hall of Famer yeah certainly worthy will you have a horse out there there's a lot of horses in Ohio right? He will oh I think

he will definitely have a horse he's very comfortable on that fucking horse oh yeah you see that retirement video where he was at I mean it was I assume he does a speech from it. Yeah, that rope in sax celebration wasn't a gimmick. Yeah, Orlovsky said, you're not getting me. I'm going to have rope myself.

It did. Just ran around. Yeah, he did. You think Jared Allen talks about that in his speech? I hope so. You think he says, I like, thank Dan Orlovsky, keep me relevant every single day. People understand how intimidating of a person I was on the field because they see you sprint your ass off right out of the back of that end zone

every other day during the football season. Dan Rolovsky gets that tweeted to do him every other day. That's crazy. Dan Oloski says, I don't know if this quarterback is in the same league as these other guys and everybody are in it.

Oh, is that right? Fucking Dan? What happened here? Tough spot. Every day, Dan. Tough spot. Lost that game by two points. Oh.

Oh, no. Yeah, but that would have went to overtime and who knows. Dad, you guys want two games out here. You're saying. Yeah, you guys lost a lot of games by a lot of points. They were really bad then.

Well, that's not the quarter. Yeah, Dan Orloxie was you, we know you were bad, okay, fucks. What's that all about? That's your team at her a bit. Dan O takes a lot of shots. I don't like that. He does.

And he just stands right in there. He just stands right in there. He does talk reckless, though. Does he? He says something. He says some things that are pretty out of pocket. I think he's like the perfect depiction of like, yeah, I have an opinion. Just as, you know, just in general.

Hey, you want to talk? Yeah, I have an opinion. Hey, you might not know a lot about this particular situation. You want to? Yeah, I do. I know a bunch of it. If Dan talks about it, Dan knows about it. I think he's done his research that has led him to how he feels.

And every once in a while, everybody's going to disagree with him. That's why they're paying him a big bucks. That's why I got a new deal done. Exactly. Ten sub-tweets later, Dan Rolovsky. Big bucks, Dan. I'm a punk for Dan. What a career.

Yeah. He's good, man. Legitimately. Yeah. I'm fucking pumped for him. He started just breaking down. I remember back in the day when he would just break down plays, like, on his phone? He told himself.

Yeah, we remember. Yeah, we remember. Dan, called him. Fallen asleep in the first fucking 10 seconds of your shit. You need to do something. He's gotten really good at that. Yes. He's very good.

I would say Dan Rolovsky, very good on TV. Right? I think we all say that? Absolutely. Yes. I don't ever say that about a lot of people, us included. It's like, Dan's very good at TV. Whenever he sits down and they fucking throw one in there,

all right, is this going to be a war with everybody? Or is this going to be like a, you know what? I didn't think of that. that's Dan Rolovsky. Yep. This guy fucking ran out of the back of the end zone. Or, thank you, Dan, for saying what we're all thinking.

And that's literally minute to minute, I think, for Dan Rolowski. That's take to take. Oh, yeah. Show to show. Yeah, minute to minute maybe. Because somebody else can add in something. Oh, yeah, I forgot. And then you just ruined everything.

You'll see him give a little bias towards people he's friends with. Sure. You don't like Arthur Smith? You don't like Arthur Smith's offense? Something. It does, doesn't it? feel like there's something there. How's Aaron and Arthur are going to get along

too strong personalities in the middle of the season? I guess we'll see. That's what Danos' take was on the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, I assumed the OC job came down to Arthur and Dano and so he just... For the Pittsburgh Steelers? For the Steelers? So, of course, he has a crush. It makes sense to me. There's a chance that Steelers were going to hire Dan Olovsky is the

offense coordinator. This goes in. Dan Oloffsky's next offense coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 10 years from now. Okay. Okay. this goes in Dan Roloski's the head coach or the Pittsburgh Steelers goes Kair

Dormland Orlovsky Yeah Law pressure Come on you got this Oh Thank God Tony

Oh sorry As he was Thank gosh Let's do the Colts next All right I like what Shane Stikens cooking uh-huh don't you i love it what's this what's this for this is for dan rolovsky to be the head coach

of the indianapolis colts 10 years from now okay years from me or when four super bowls before that when the job opens 10 15 years from now after four super bowls by shane steikin and this indianapolis courts team dan olovsky announced as the new head coach of the colts if this goes in okay oh shit i thought that was it look good look good oh my Thank you. All right. Let's do the New England Patriot. Yes. Fray was going to be there for 20 years. Okay. So, when that's over.

Okay. Okay. Coach Rolovsky. You'd say, hey, Coach Joe, you'd actually, new tattoo. Yeah. Yeah. Coach Rolovsky. Every fudgeon day. Bingo. I said that yesterday.

That's the one. We're going to show up. Maybe all the forearms. Yep. Yesterday, today, today, tomorrow. Dan Olovsky. Every fudgeon day. uh-oh wow congratulations yes he's coming home home to new england yep yep i'm gonna kill myself why on that note let's get out of here don't say that don't do that i can't do that it's

so it's about 20 years from now so i still got plenty of time yeah just like the melb just like MLB has plenty of time for this new CBA. That's right. December of 26. Does Jet know that's next year? That's pretty close. Yeah, and these deals can get done early.

NBA does it early damn near every time. The NHL, too, right? Didn't the NHL get the deal done early? I don't know if the NFL will ever get it done early. Do we even have somebody to negotiate one of these? No. Is the NHO last last league to miss a year? Yeah, and it killed them. They were,

dead for like four or five years it really killed the league and MLB had a work stoppage right when yeah mid 90s 94 I believe that's what he said the 94 World Series changed because players opted out of playing or whatever it's like they've had a work stoppage and that kill it kills the diehards will be there on the other side like I think the diards will be there on the side they'll be jaded they'll be pissed but they'll be here on the other side it's like everybody else gets just like oh fuck off basically like that's how people we got billionaires and millionaires fighting each other and they're going to take fuck these people is how like the majority casuals feel that is okay that's like when uh the xFL guys came out we're holding out it's like shut the

fuck up that is literally how everybody feels i'm not that is not me speaking to you directly that is just an immediate reaction to you whenever you say that and it's like dwayne johnson probably thought the same thing i mean you know he wouldn't say but it's like the fans thought it and probably the league thought it and that thing kind of ended quickly too You know, I think somebody was like, hey, you're the 150th best quarterback in the United States of America. That is why you were here. Let's go ahead and shut the fuck up and just be happy that we're playing football for a living. That is what a casual person says.

And I will say, as somebody who is a very normal casual person, I didn't watch because of that. Like, I legitimately, you guys think you lost a friend of ours, $30 million last year. And then you're going to tell them, we need a little more money. Why don't you fucking complete a pass? who look like a quarterback so we can have a league here before we worry about how much money. Same thing with the WMBA. As soon as that comes out, casuals, and I'm not saying they care about casuals at all, I don't think they do, but let's just say they care about casuals for a second

and not hate casuals that watch their league. As soon as casuals hear that, it's like, okay, well, not going to tune into this. Let's just move along. The work stoppage thing, not good for sports fans. Like that is just not the case. but the players got to do what the players got to do and I think the owners feel the exact same way so it's just kind of like dog chasing tail

situation and he's got to hope both sides want to get a deal done but I'll tell you what if both of them are grabbing bats telling each other to get the hell out of the clubhouse I don't know brother I don't know how that's going to go over there and that's a good start though if you if guys like you know Bryce

and Aaron Judge and you know show hey if they're the ones who are like really leading that charge being like fuck you guys we're not I mean those are the biggest stars in the league. That's why the NBA, because for the longest time, they had, like, their biggest stars were on the executive committee of the PA. How do you think the fans

feel? I think it's tougher in the NFL and MLB, because, like, you said, like, we Oh, you said the MLB right there. Yeah, I mean, in that contact, and I also don't care, you know, if you want to come up with me for that, you can suck my dick. But, um, so, you know, it's like, yeah, it's just, I don't

give a shit. I was a little aggressive. Well, you know. I mean, they could. I guess. Yeah. Sometimes you have to. But, like, how you never go. Sometimes. But, but, like hockey, do we see those contracts? These guys are making like, the best players are making like $8 to $9 million a year. Like it's a little bit different in football and baseball when you see guys that have

$750 million contract. So I think even like some of the most diehard fans are like, you guys making a fucking money. Like make some concessions so we don't lose a season. But then you can see it from those guys' perspective. It's like a guy like judge or Bryce Harper. It's like, hey, I'm in the prime of my career right now.

A guy like schemes. A guy like schemes. Deans has not hit his big deal. He hasn't had a big deal yet, exactly. So it's like, why the fuck, I'm putting up numbers that have never been seen before in the history of baseball. Why do I need to be the guinea pig to be like, oh, you know what, you're right, we should do a salary cap. And I'll take $250 million less dollars than what I've earned and what guys two years ago were making. Like, it's just, I don't know.

I don't, you don't, I don't blame those guys. It happened in the NFL whenever they changed the draft payment. Mm-hmm. But those guys weren't already in the league. This would completely shin-bash all your stars. Right. So they're going to be the loudest. And baseball is different too because the teams have basically ownership over these players for a long time.

So guys, yeah, they get massive deals, but a lot of times, like, you've already put in six to eight... Yeah, six to seven to eight years of service time before you actually get that massive contract. And again, like, look at, you know, if Judge, like, luckily he only has, like, a little, you know, UCL strain. He's only going to be out for 10 days. If he has to have Tommy John, he's missing the next 18 months. Like, he's missing a full season. So it's like any day these guys could, and then you might not be the same guy when you come back. So it's like you need to get paid when you have that opportunity.

Good luck to all the boys out there, including Rob Manfred. Yeah. How about Jud Passing being like, Rob Manfred did not just exit the clubhouse? You fired one back. I said, uh... What the fuck did you say to me? Why don't you shut the fuck up, Bryce? Look around, bub.

It's in my league. I'm gonna be here longer than you. You know what, take off all your clothes. Those are mine. And get the fuck out of here. That would have been awesome if you were just like knocked over a big thing of baseballs. These are mine. Yeah, pick them up.

How about the game? Just to get rid of bottle. Yeah. That's mine. That's mine. Goes and grabs like a hundred bats. These are mine. See you later.

It just takes them all. What a scene. And the fact that that got out immediately. Yeah. As I was reading, I was like, did this just happen? Yeah. Yep, just happened. Somebody was in there.

Holy fuck, man. You should see what just took place. And then jet passes, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me? Rob Manford, Bryce Harper? Yeah. Yes. How much more information can I get? Mm-hmm.

Something like this hasn't happened since the Starbucks incident at the 2025 scouting compound. No real. implications on that one, though, right? Got out quick, though. Yeah, Schultz didn't drop an F-bomb and rap sheet cried and called his mom or something. No, we called NFL security.

Oh, yeah. No. No, they called him. They called him. And then he said, yeah, he came out to be in Starbucks, and everybody was painting it. His Rappaport called his dad, because Jordan Schultz went into his dad's place and yelled at Ian Rappaport. And Rapport's, because am we please do some journalism

here? I was asked if I was accosted, I said yes. That's what I thought I was supposed to do because they were showing me a video of me getting yelled at by Jordan Shultz and Starbucks. And that turned into Ian Rapp was a little babe back bitch. In that situation, Jordan Shultz took his

coffee, said, give me that coffee. It's mine. Yeah, that's mine. Dad's. You're right? That's mine. That's my. That's my. Dads. Then he realized what he's done.

He's like, shit. And I got to go do it to everyone in here. Hey, sorry. That's my dad. That's mine. That's mine. Throw the lights off. All of it. That's mine.

Everybody out. I'm using this as an office today. It's mine. Dad's. So I need two Americanos before you leave. Make on mine. Dad's machine. That's crazy.

He's an NFL inside. well he's not so what do you mean let's get out of here he is he's still firing him off yeah yeah yeah yeah what do you mean he's firing off I agree be your friend tell what would Tim say

Tim would say shut the fuck up that guy that's a fucking shit about shit we watch talk on a zip line yep have you seen this video of talk on a zip line this weekend he went

the Super duper Lake Fun Time. Have you heard about this? Yeah, okay. I didn't even realize that was talk, I think, when I watched it. Yeah, he put his feet off. He did the... Yeah, yep. Tim Robinson.

A little spin when he's done. And then at the end, he lifted his feet up, and then he hit the thing. Here it is. No, no, this isn't it. This is a different thing. This is not the zip line. Now, after the zip line,

he did see an elevated surface that he said, yeah, I think I should jump off of there. 30 feet, you can jump off this. appear it's like a little bit of a deck you'll see him here in a second he'll come into the frame and he'll break his back oh jesus why did you angle your back and head towards the water he's an athlete he said uh he was scared he was trying to stop it yeah he's got bruising entire ass hamstring and lower back that's pretty high up too man as it turns out nobody else

jumped off of that the rest of the day yep so everybody saw talk beat up water there and Taron water beat him up and said, all right, we're not doing a 30 footer today. And what a chore. Yeah, the decisions that were made there by talk. He said, I shouldn't have looked before I jumped. And it was like, well, if you don't look, you don't know how far it is. Then you're going to do that. He goes, well, I did it already.

And it was like, if it was 10 feet shorter, he probably hits that water. Perfect. Yeah. It was that final 10 feet where he just kind of, just kind of drift. I'm going to do a back bump. No, you're not. You're going to get fucking obliterate. by this water. 30 feet.

That's pretty hot. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know you're just allowed to do this. I didn't know this was just out here. He's a zipline guy. Yeah, he's definitely Zipline. He was only there for it to Zipline and actually kind of felt like we had a pier. He used to go jump off of into the river. Pitch black. I don't remember the exact height of that thing.

Down at Barking? It was probably 20. I lived there for a year. On barking? That's sweet. Guinness World Record. Shadiest road to the United States of America. Most shade. It's in a valley next to a river

I got thrown off a pier Got a concussion What's that? When I was like Nine years old Yeah that's what happened I had a Instructor

And we were horsing around Used to babysit me sometimes We're kind of just You know my brother It's all kind of A bunch of big group And we're all laughing I got picked up

And I got tossed off a pier And I landed on my back And it fucked me up How far was the drop 20 feet you got picked up and thrown as a nine-year-old off the pier?

Yeah. It was fucking nuts, dude. It is hindsight looking bad. Someone else jumped in. Do you imagine you doing that to a nine-year-old? No. Yeah, I've never done that. All right.

Let's keep you away from nine-year-olds. Okay. That's fair. Let's keep you away from nine-year-olds. A lady, I saw a lady on the internet. Oh, my gosh. Yes. Her friend?

And that lady... She went to jail. She went to jail. That's what everybody on the internet. I don't know if that's real or that. I mean, The injuries definitely, she like punctured a lung, broken ribs. That was fucked up.

I hated that video. Yeah, I did not like it at all. I kind of out of nowhere, too, just to shove off there. Because you'll see some of those people want to bungee jump and they're on like a box. And you'll see some of the locals, like actually push people off. Like, hey, you're doing this. You signed up for it. And it's always like an interesting situation because I'm like, would I want that to happen if I'm up there?

Probably not. Kind of want to go to myself. But also, if you work there, like, how long do these people just going to stay? Yeah, I got people paying. If everybody was just to go up there and be scared, they'd be scared. They'd be scared. They'll fucking push me. Agreed.

Hopefully they tell it beforehand, though. Yeah, it was messed out. This girl, and she goes, face. No, that video, that video pisses you off bad. That girl that puts it, that makes me so, yeah. That's infuriating. I've never, I've never bungee jumped. I think that one's scarier than skydiving.

You think? Just a lot of external factors there. Yeah. A lot closer to Earth. Yeah. Remember rap sheet, feet first. Messing up. Sky Coaster doesn't cut?

yeah three two one fly pull the thing through kennywood oh yeah i did that yeah i have i've done that is that that's yeah that's more that is a bungee jumping that in my in my in my uh estimation in my i i i've bungee jumped before because that's what that is yeah kind of i think that kind of is they're sending 10 year olds up there 11 year olds up here in kenneywood you know what they're not getting stuck because it ain't fucking cedar point you guys talk to anybody there in Ohio about that? Can't have that happening. I have not. I've never been to Cedar Point, actually. Did you see what that one

guy said on the internet? No. He said B-Bone was sitting in the back. Oh, yeah. So that's why the coaster goes like this, and then it goes to connect, and then it goes like this. And it just got stuck right here.

It was a good point by the guy tweeted. I didn't think of that. D-Bone was, I think, he was right back here, because he was driving over to Ohio, get all the All-American beer that's left. Yep. A real American beer that's left. And he was right back there, I think, and they said that, they didn't, whenever building that thing, they didn't

expect it to not. That's a good point. We don't know if that's true. I mean, you guys are really nice friends for thinking that DeBone could get on a roller coaster. But I do... He's definitely tall enough. Yeah. There's other limits.

And unfortunately... What are you saying? Jesus Christ. What are you saying? I'm just saying, based on the structure of the roller coaster. I don't think that I don't think the bars are clicking. That's always the problem. You do this one and you got to do it a couple times.

I even happens to me every once in a while and I'm nowhere near like a, I mean, I'm built like a spark plug but not that big. Anytime I got to really yank that thing to get locked in, a little bit anxiety. Yeah. Like it feels like that was not cleanly locked in. And then what, 16 year old comes walking by with a little Madonna. I'm like, all right.

It's going to be fun. barely pulls it just fucking up you're good it's like am i i i don't know sure you sure i was in here yeah all right keep your arms hands inside inside of see oh yeah send him out and i'm just am i holding this thing the whole fucking ride i don't know if i can hold this and then you get upside down here like free falling yeah it's like well now we're gonna find out and then i think stays locked and it's like who thank god and then the ride's over it's like well that wasn't fun Yeah. How was it?

All right, let's get out of here. Be a front of the other than I just might change your life for doing this thing together. It's been a great summer, man. That'd be so scary. That'd be so scary if you were holding on and it went upside down and you felt it unhook and you're just holding on. Your legs are flying in the air.

How long can I hold this? We've talked about this before, but it's a good time to bring it up because state fair season's coming up. Where we grew up, there wasn't state fair. Like, we didn't do the state. I think it's over there in Hershey or Harrisburg or who knows. somewhere else. So I didn't know about state fairs. And then I come out here to Indiana. Love them. Holy fuck. These things are the greatest people watching. The food's absurd. I like to

eat good food. Then like the things that are happening. Awesome. I, it's state fairs are some of the greatest things ever created, I think. These people are getting on these rides, though, that I don't, I don't think we should be getting on in a middle of a parking lot. And I'm literally just watched that guy put it together he was using a hand crank and this thing's going well smoke a crack all the way guys good hustler though

that's why he's out there those are awesome though the ones that you could die on like the ones you were growing up as a kid going to see that's what I'm saying I never did those as a kid so I think that is kind of my yeah you think about it too much as an adult yeah like he's just like all right

you're getting lines a little spin one where you're like yeah you sit on the wall sticks you a starship 2000 or something they call it. The orbiter that spins and turns at the same time. The zipper. I saw... They all just make you puke.

Always. This one gets me now that I'm older. 1,0001 nights. This one? What's that? 1,0001 nights. Go on? The boat that goes... That's what his was called.

It was 1,000. My ears fell out. That's pirate ship. That's pirate ship for me. Yeah, my ears fell out. And I couldn't hear anything for like three seconds. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah, we were Magic Carpenter of Pirateship.

Yeah, 1,001 nights too. It feels like that whenever I'm on it because it's, as I've gotten older, that one has not sat well with my body. Getting to the point where I'm going to have to figure out whether or not we're doing these things with McKenzie or not, these state fair rides. Yeah. And I have bad feeling. Sam's all in on these things.

She's been trying to get me to ride him for like four or five years. I'm like, Sam, I'm not fucking going in that thing. Oh, come on. It's fun. You go do it. I'm not going to do it alone. McKenzie's not getting in one I don't know how to tell Samis That's what I would never do it

But I think of it too Like Iowa State Fair is the same thing Like they do it so often That like it probably is safe But very safe But you're right Like my kid isn't fucking going in there Not a chance

I'll go to an amusement park And do it But like Kennywood Yeah I'm not going to the fucking Fairgrounds and doing it Not a chance You're not putting you a kid on a Kennywood

Yeah you know what Nah I'm talking about Adventureland here I ain't talking about fucking Kennywood Yeah let's put this to the test Why aren't you and say and McKenzie head to Kennywood and hop on the fucking potato thing. I want to let you know that's potato patch

potato patch is not a ride. It's a journey to Happy Town. It is not a ride. McKenzie will definitely be a Kennywood girl. No questions asked. I've heard the prices are a little absurd, but you know, going to have to do that free parking

inflation for a lifetime. We went to Cedar Point for mine's second birthday. She had so much fun. We're going back for her third. Yeah, that's what we're saying. Cedar Point. Did you see Cedar Point? Have you seen Cedar Point? I thought that's what he said.

I was clarified. Well, we've heard, but, yeah, I went to Cedar Point. DeBone, hopefully won't be there when he goes, so he doesn't have to worry about. DeBone, we're on the back of that thing? Why that guy say you're on the back of that thing? Wasn't on the back of the thing. I read a Cedar Point. I was in the pond all weekend.

I saw a tweet about him that said he got in the T-cup, and the whole thing just shut down. The T-cups? Yeah, T-cups was the only ride he could. ride and fit into. Are you sure it was the teacups, not the decups? Might have been the tea or the tea bowls? Okay. Jeez.

Oh, I think the tea bowls. Yeah, tea bowls, tea cooler, perhaps, tea refrigerator. Bone! Bone! Why are they saying you on the back of that ride? Why did that guy tweet that? I have a mic to defend himself. Hey, he does. Here we go.

Yeah, that's kind of he feels about that guy. Great catch. That's a national champion right there. sure is. So, um, why, were you on the back? Why that guy tweeted? No, Bergey the hippie can go fuck himself. Yeah. That's journalism. I guess Bergey the hippie did not see you there. Thank you. Sorry, well, we will no longer say that you're in the back of that or the T-bowls or D-Cups or anything. Oh, oh. Thank you, D-Bone. Those jokes ain't going nowhere, D-Bone.

He does need to get it under control. He needs to start doing some physical activity. Got a dry fit on right now. Yeah. He's got to dry. He's got to play the part He was putting in work at the pond all weekend That was a pond party Yeah, he wasn't swimming No, no, he was swimming

Yeah, he was the 25 Prince of the Pond Yeah, pond prince First year, yeah He got the crown in all closing ceremonies So Berger the hippie was lying I guess he wasn't on that roller coaster I'm not I think there's still some validation to that claim

I don't know Berger the hippie's been around a while, too. Let's not just rule him out, you know? We can't just take one word over the other. All right, he's wearing a fucking dry fit. Word of dry fit. I was watching cops. That's literally what it just took me back to.

Like, what if that is his excuse? I had fucking tights on yesterday. Saw a guy showing up at training camp. Yeah, Bob Spillane in 98 degree heat. The hottest day in New England probably up to this point, shows up to training camp at long sleeves of sports. sweatshirt and tights. Yeah, I mean, and my immediate thought was, oh, this guy needs to lose some weight. Like show up a camp a little heavy. We need to lose some weight here. It's going to Bob Spillane.

Uh-uh. Every weight's perfect. So he's just a guy who's like, I was out in Vegas, brother. It was 120 degrees out there. You think I'm worried about this New England heat? I don't think, what's going to Europe? Hey, Europe's heat. Yeah, massive heat wave. No air conditioning, right? Is that the big problem? I guess. Yep. Wow. People dying. Oh, yeah. That's crazy. It is crazy Especially because down in South Florida It's like always 100 degrees

It's got to be something different Yeah, they don't have air conditioning What do you think it is? No, I don't know What else could it be? What else do you think it is? I don't know Karma

Who's the SEC quarterback You think is going to be behind Lenore Sellers? I told you, DJ Laguer And then Arch Do you say that because you hate white people? I love white people Okay, I just want to make sure

people are asking. I think DJ Lagway is going to be very good. Yeah, he's got the quarterback whisperer too. Napier. That's right. They turn that team around, stuck with the boys. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I do respect DJ Lagway. But my blind belief on the season is just like the art show. And maybe I need dial it back a little bit. I mean, remember the year Napier had with AR his last year in Florida? Holy fuck, man. Be a friend, tell her friends something nice and I change your life. We're listening together. Team all me.

AJ, we'll see you tomorrow, buddy. Are you coming with us tomorrow? Yeah, I'm going to, I'll meet you there. I'm going to drive. You should just meet us in Canton. What? Oh, no, I can meet you in Pitt. I plan on coming in La Trobe.

All right. Okay, just know that you don't have to. I got you. Yeah, yeah. I got a buddy that big Sears fan. He's coming to watch. Okay, sick. All right, we'll see you there tomorrow.

Bobby? Bobby. The general? No, another buddy. He's a guy from Youngstown. You know, all those Youngstown people are big Pittsburgh fans of all the Pittsburgh sports. Youngstown is a Pittsburgh-type city. It is.

A lot of Italians, a lot of grit. They remind me of Pittsburgh people. Like all my buddies' dads from, they sound like they're from Pittsburgh. And they're the Penguins, right? Yes, they're. Yeah, so it's very Pittsburgh. You're right. All right, we'll see you tomorrow, AJ.

Hopefully we'll see other people hang out with us tomorrow at Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp. Come say hello. And after a show, we're going to watch practice. So we're going to do.
