Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humble Abode, the Thunderdome, on this glorious Overeaction Monday, September 22nd, 2025. This program begins now. Football! It's magical, and obviously tonight we have a huge game to wrap up, week three of the NFL season on Monday night football, as the Lions and the Ravens will do battle in a game in which the over-under is way over 50. 53 and a half is the over under.

They're expecting a lot of points. Well, Jared Goff and this Detroit Lions team continue to be a wagon offensively like they've shown whenever they had Ben Johnson as their offense coordinator the past couple of years. Didn't show it, you know, the first week of this season. Then second week, they were a juggernaut. Will that continue against a Baltimore Ravens team

that tricked one off week one, but has been nothing but electrifying with Lamar Jackson at quarterback? He has the highest QBR in the history of the game. Well, that continued tonight against a Detroit Lions defense that woke up last week when Kelvin Shepard said, I don't want to hear any excuses. I want everybody out there flying around. We got a great one tonight. A lot of characters, a lot of superstars, a lot of great ball wrapping up week three, which was a lot of blowouts to thrillers.

College ball was electrifying. The toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the hammer. Cowboys AP Tone is here. His Steelers stole one up there in New England from the New England Patriots who had five. Two on the goal line. Seven seconds left in the first half. Drake May throws a pick. That should have been a touch in the end zone. Then there's a fumble, reach, fumble, bang, turnover. That's 14 points that the New England Patriots is left literally on the board. Then there was three other turnovers on top of that. Feels like maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is back. But on the Thunder Dome stage here, the Pittsburgh Steelers get a massive win over the New England Patriots. AP tone. Are you guys winning a Super Bowl? I said it today. The Super Bowl is back on

in my hearts of hearts. Yeah, and you could say the Patriots gave this one away or they just don't care about the ball. They don't care about the program and the Steelers know what the program is and it's the ball. This is a variable coach team?

I mean, that's a good question. I think we're all asking it right now, Pat. It's ridiculous. The ball's the program. It's pretty simple. Hold on to the damn ball, especially if you're getting paid to do it, Ramandre Stevenson.

Well, and Ty, we just skipped over you. Don't you even work. about the Green Bay Packers, go ahead and just you can win this game, Cleveland Browns. When nobody's talking about Cleveland Browns, not ass. We should be talking about the Cleveland Browns today. They are not ass. No, they're not. The Cleveland

Browns are not ass at all, especially in Cleveland. That defense does things there that really maybe take the best team in ball, the most full team in ball, take them deep into the fourth quarter and just make them break at the very end. Ty, how's it feel? Now, and the Green Bay

Packers do have a blemish. The Green Bay Packers, maybe not perfect. And Michael Parsons says, every once in a while shit happens, we just got to move on. Is that how all Packers fans are feeling? Or the Cleveland Browns may be a lot better than anybody could talk about because there was all a shit show going into the season. Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both. Listen, this might be the best defense of all time. This Brown's defense in 2025, we'll see. That being said, you can't lose to the Browns. You just can't do it. I don't care who's out there. I don't care how good their defense is. The Packers slept walked through the entire game, and you're right. They did. They just puked all over themselves. They had a 10-point lead, you know, with

three minutes left. I mean, just defense was unbelievable again. The offense, not good, a lot of injuries. I choose to just kind of maybe laugh it off and say, hey, you know, we need to throw a little water on this. Hey, this team's going to win the Super Bowl. You know, they're young, but Jesus, that was just a pitiful way to spend a Sunday. But we're going to be okay. The Browns are much better than a lot of people are giving them. Brown's defense at home, eight sacks, tied most in the NFL. Two point four yards per rush against them, first in the NFL. Three point four yards per play, second in the NFL.

Twenty-five pressures tied for third in the NFL. Now remember, Miles Garrett was paid a King's Ransom for good reason on the defensive side. Feels like they're holding up their end of the bargain. Joe Flackle maybe didn't play his most perfect football. He didn't play great. Okay? but they get a win over to Packers. Let's go to nine-year NFL vet,

host of Everything, DB, good, D, bad, D, and also the NFL matchup show, which you can watch 6 a.m. on ESPN. Ladies and gentlemen, D.Berys J. Ballard. DeBoch, we just hit a lot of things here for these teams because there's a lot happening in-house into Thunderdum. You and me might be alumni of a team that's the best in the NFL.

Will that be the number one story? To kick off the first 15, we shall see. 15 on the clock please welcome first 15 these are the things that we think you need to hear about now it might be 15 minutes on the clock but this is off of the first 15 plays you know that are kind of scripted in there so that clock is there but it certainly has not worked in the past couple weeks as we have debuted this let's dive right into the five big headlines uh-huh that we sain't from the weekend of ball for the NFL number five about some super duper who oh how hell yeah all over the place now not great for punters in a lot of situations are not great for kickers in a lot of

situations but everybody talks about the offense hey who is quarterback and lead them defense they got championship defense nobody's talking about the third phase i think we try to bring it up obviously because i was a punter so i have massive respect for the guys playing on special teams which is back half of the roster that's a rotating bunch too so the special teams coordinator is the only one that addresses the entire team offense defense and then obviously the guys that are just there for special teams because at any moment you can pull from in and any play could win the game any play could sway Playoff Hope's Super Bowl dreams

That's what special teams is Let's dive into some highlights Torrey Horton from the Seahawks I'm sorry Jalen Lane from the commanders 90 yard return First the Raiders Then Torrey Horton Seahawks

95 yard punt return They also happen to block a punt Early in the day They blocked up Go ahead and give you that Seattle Seahawks not only return a punt They also block a punt should have scooped scored that one, put another seven on, but they beat the living dog Shite out of the Saints feels like a lot of people are doing that, but you got to be able to hold up in special teams down there.

You got to be able to hold up. We used to call it the fourth down army. We were in the Indian net. Look, complimentary football, that third phase doesn't get talked about enough. But I mean, unbelievable. You got to be an athlete there at scoop and scored it, though. Gotta get seven. Have to. Okay, let's go to Cameron Dicker of the Chargers. He's had the greatest, in NFL history, the first 100 kicks. Now he has one to win it. Fourth quarter, five seconds left. Game on the line against division rival, and Cameron Dicker does what Cameron Dicker do. Knox it right down the middle.

Justin Herber is a real deal. Cameron Dicker might be the best kicker in the history of football debuts. It might be, and you knew as soon as they got him in field goal range now. Up until this point, we have seen some big time blocks and big time moments, so that would have been the only thing that got in the way of Cameron Dicker, but he is dicker kicker, the best in the business. Big-time kick took 3-0 against three divisional opponents to start the season. Unbelievable start.

That's a great way to start for the Chargers. Let's go to the Bucks, Chase McLaughlin. He has a 36-yarder to win it. How did we get here? You might ask? Well, let's do some more special teams. Earlier, two minutes left. Will McDonald, off the edge, block, and then what?

Scoop, then what? Score. Cut to Tyron Taylor in the middle of a play fox. Why are we doing that? Touchdown. New York Jets. Special teams block a Chase McLaughlin kick right up over the center. No leverage was used.

No call was made. Game winning blocked kick, scoop, score, right? Aaron Glenn. We did it. We did it. We did it. Yes, we did. What a moment.

149 left in the game. That might be too much for Baker Mayfield. Yeah, right. All Baker does is have comebacks. Chase McLaughlin would then nail this 36-yarder. 29, 27, the Bucks remain undefeated, unbelievable stuff from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now let's go to the 49ers. They're starting Mac Jones as their quarterback.

They were in a dog fight with the Arizona Cardinals, an absolute dog fight. Eddie Pinheiro knocks one through, wins the game. You know, Moody, who had been kicking for the Niners, lost his confidence, and maybe the op wasn't great. He had been missing a lot of kicks and extra points. Piniero coming out and making that and saying, this is my shit. This is my shit. Huge for them going forward. The Niners might be inevitable, by the way.

They've got a lot of people hurt. A lot of people. And they're still winning. Christian McCaffrey, I got a stat from Hembo. He's on pace to have the most touches in the history of ball. Like how much they're using him right now. He's on pace to have more touches. If he can stay healthy and the Niners can continue to do what they do,

and Mac Jones doesn't turn the ball over. Nope. What's he doing? I mean, look, Mac's going to do that. Sometimes you know how Mac is, but also, you know, that's just classic Mac Jones. What he's referring to is Mac Jones, whenever he was asked about to turn over, basically said, I threw the ball right to the guy. Oh, way to go.

He's a professional athlete. He caught the ball. That's real. That's actually true story. We appreciate Mac having the personality in the boxing and also being undefeated. Congratulations to Matt Jones. You might get paid $100 million. Now, let's go to that Packers-Browns game, shall we?

Two seconds left. 55-yarder for Andre Smith. How did we get here, though? Well, let's go back. 27 seconds left in the game. Unbelievable, really? To steal the win against the Browns. No!

Blocked kick! The Cleveland Brown Special Team! Bunch of dogs in the dog pound! Come around the edge. Got to get a handle on him, talk. We've got to get a body on him. We've got to get a better shove on the edge. He comes around, gets a huge block.

They scoop it. Only need a few more. yards now for you to be in game-winning field goal range. And they certainly did. Andre Smick out of Syracuse, right, Don Broadway. What a kick. Flag was not on the kicking team. And that's how the Cleveland Browns beat the Green Bay Packers. Block kick into a long kick. And that's called stealing that shit from the Green Bay Packers. Ty, what a heartbreaker for you in a dog pond. Yeah, absolute heartbreaker. You just saw it there. 27 seconds, the Browns have no timeouts.

They block a kick, and Flacco completes one pass. They get down, spike it. Apparently, I didn't think they'd have any time. It is a cool story for this Andre Schmidt guy, though, because last week, week one, he did not play well. They were calling for his job. I think he lost his mom, and then for him to respond this way and absolutely dagger the Packers' playoff hopes.

I mean, that's a lot of people are saying, hey, this team can't do anything. He can't beat the Browns, so we'll see. We'll see. Tiger's in the playoffs. Okay, so you've got to say we might win some games, this would be fun. But when we've got to go on the road and win a big one, we lost the Cleveland? I don't know if you're respecting Cleveland and Cleveland in those jerseys?

Yeah, those jerseys are sick. But how many road games you got to play a year? Same amount as home. Less than half of them. Yeah, exactly. You're worried. I mean, we'll see, you know. I wasn't.

What if the Cleveland Browns are good? The Brown line is going to be amazing. I mean, we talked about the Giants, I think. their D-Line for a while and then all of a sudden you think okay, never mind, Mason, Grandma's Garrett and the kid from Ohio State they got. Yeah, all three of them just were collapsing pockets

last yesterday. And we can't talk about Super Duper Special Teams without bringing out a Super Duper play. A man who's over 330 pounds was clocked going to fastest that he man, 330 pounds has ever been clocked going. Ladies and gentlemen, this man, Jordan Davis, should not be able to do what he did

as easily and as smoothly as he did it. Now granted, obviously you can follow win that game but one no problem instead clean scoop not easy balls oblong obviously right after he demoralizes a guard snags a kick out of midair clean scoop give me that and let me just go ahead and beat everybody to the end zone tight end right there realizes I'm not to be able to catch this guy's 330 pounds he was striding out earlier in the game it wasn't just Jordan it wasn't just Jordan Carter blocks a kick on this guy too I mean you're talking about Jalen Carter Jordan Davis getting a block this early. Obviously that's going to make other teams think to themselves

like, okay, we got to be stout against these guys. But Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, now that they got one, it's almost like taking a lid off. Like, okay, if we do drive just a strain a little bit, then we get our hands up. We can actually block these kicks. It's like a confidence builder, I think, for people. And Jalen Hertz during football night in America, came in during Maria Taylor and Jordan Davis's conversation and basically said, yeah, I saw you two Georgia boys out there. like this is what we got these guys for and they did just that. I don't know how one guard is going to

stop them. No chance. Genuinely, I have no idea how one guard is going to stop. On the offensive side, everybody's talking about the tush push for the Philadelphia Eagles. He's just cheating, and they jumped off sides again. Yeah, which it is. And it didn't get called. This is it. We are a supporter of the play. It's a football play. You got to do what you got to do. You got to stop them. They did jump off sides again.

It didn't get called. But the tush push, you know, still involves pushing and shit like that. For blocking of kicks, they used to let linebackers, like multiple linebackers, backers go put their hands directly on the cheeks of these detackers and they would push them and then they would be the ones that would be up there jumping they got rid of that because they said it was unsafe okay now on the offensive side they still got it going on but they got rid of it on defense aside now you got jalen carter and jordan davis that's basically similar to what

it used to be with four people pushing i think they're going to use this as an advantage i think there's a real chance that because they get to this early they get confident and they're only going get more deep i mean it's a lot of power a lot of explosiveness right in right in the middle of that deep and they've been playing great on defense as well but when you get a guy that big that tall and i don't know if we all remember he blew everybody away at the combine because of how big he was and how explosive he was i believe around like a four or eight or somewhere around at that weight so to see him scoop and score we talked about the seattle one it should have been a scoop and score to see him be an athlete like that scoop and score and take that thing all the way to the career for

a walkoff i mean a terrible beat for a lot of betters out there who had rams plus three and a half, but a great way to finish the game for the meagles. Yeah, it was a terrible beat. It was a great win, though. Sirianni was losing his shit out there. Jalen hurts like this while watching Jordan Davis run down there, super casual, no facial expression. Siriani's watching it happen, looking for flags, taking his headset off, and he said, we're meeting at the end.

He's running how fast? I'm going to try to run about half of that. Yeah, we got it. There's a thought, get done. Somebody's thinking, no, you know what? Actually, go. No, go. Score, score, score.

Go look for flags. There's no flags. Holy shit. Holy. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. We did. Yes. And right behind him there, the guy with the sunglasses, the mayor, Randy Brown, who's a special team's coordinator

for the Baltimore Ravens or special teams, whatever. He's got a really big title. He's been there for a long time. That's his boy. Okay. Yeah, he's special teams

for the Philadelphia Eagles. They both won a Super Bowl. Obviously, they've done a lot for special teams. I respect that and appreciate that. But boy, Jalen and Jordan getting that much confidence this early is not good for anybody.

Okay. That is not good for. for any kicker out there, but it is good special teams. Number four, how about we must protect this house, and they did. 12 and 3 yesterday, all the home teams. Now, there were a few that were on the road. There were obviously not a zero in that second column.

It's just three. Why do you think this is happening? Do you think we got a home field advantage? You think it was just a match-ups, Dee Bo? Maybe just a match-ups. I don't think home field advantage is that big of an issue, especially at this point in the season, but 12 and 3, Dibon. Division game, Shepard.

I mean, it is some division game. Let's see what do we have here? What is the most surprising when here, the bronze? The Panthers 30-0-0? That was a pretty-out. Shout-out. Texans going on. Who might be in trouble?

Michael Pennix. That was a bad, bad. Good news. Got $180 million a backup. Is that good news? And he looked good. Tony, home field advantage normally counts for what, three, four points with the sports book? Yeah, it does.

And two debuts points, 53% of home teams won last year in 20. 24, 53% in time the home team won. How can we didn't put up the teams that won on the road? Because that's more impressive than the home teams. Who was it? It was the Chiefs, which they were a dynasty. Oh, great win last night. I was trying to watch them be back. Now, Andy Reed and Travis Kelsey do it a little way.

I didn't seem like that. No, I can get in each other. Grilled. Yeah, but they love ball. They do. Are they back? Are they back? They win by three scores. Yeah, I think any NFL team, I think they're definitely back. Certainly some moments where you go, they don't look like a good team right now.

win by a bunch, that's what chiefs are. They go on the road. They're not as to you expect it to win on the road. You'd expect the best team in the NFL to win on the road. That'd be the Indianapolis Colts right now probably. So they did that report. We think of the Tennessee and we blew them out. And then the other one, you'd expect, you know, the six-time Super Bowl champs,

the greatest franchise in NFL history to go on the way the road. And the Pittsburgh Steelers, they did that. Yeah, you're right. I guess only the dynastic teams are able to win on a road right now in the NFL. The Chiefs, the Steelers, and the Indianapolis. As we're talking about, tonight, could that change? We Shall See. That's number four.

Number three, Baker, Baker, comeback maker. Becomes the second guy since 1950, basically, to lead, yep, three fourth quarter comebacks for the first three games of the season. Last week, Baker obviously came off Monday night and he said, we don't take no shit. Now, he beats the Jets in the fourth quarter as well. We saw the blocked kick. The Jets definitely thought they were going to win that game. What they didn't realize is you gave this man way too much time.

Baker Mayfield, give me that. Big time throws in big time moments. Feels like the guy's cut of his jib is perfect for this situation. And I'll tell you, football gods bless some teams with some teams of destiny-type feel. Three-fourth quarter comebacks this early with the mentality that they have, D-But. I like what the bucks are cooking this year. Yeah, you always hear it in the locker room, hey, 60 minutes, whatever it takes to get it done. And now three games in a row where Baker has played his best ball down the stretch to get his team over that finish line.

And look, three weeks in a row, this is the first time. They've been three and oh since 2005, I believe, as a franchise, which is crazy. And big day for Tampa Bay. I believe they were celebrating 50 years. So Coach Bea will be here. We saw Coach Groome, Derek Brooks, a bunch of legends out. Steve Spurrier, who was the first quarterback of franchisees. I had no clue about that.

Ibuka was a superstar again yesterday. So a big, big day for the Tampa Bay Bucs. And once again, they are believing. The Bucs game winning drives thus far against the Falcons. it was five plays, 63 yards, and a minute 18. Against the Texans, it was 11 plays, 80 yards in two minutes and four seconds. And against the Jets, it was seven plays, 48 yards in a minute, 49. They go ahead and just drain that thing and just take it over.

Is Baker in that conversation now? Where it's, hey, too much time. Yeah. Too much time for Baker now. And by the way, backwards hat one time. Next time looking cool. Baker said, I don't care what I look like. I'm letting you know, we ball and we don't take no shit.

Respect to Baker. Number two story of the weekend. Back up quarterbacks, back that thing up all over, folks. Okay, Mac Jones, we talked about him. How about Marcus Marriota? He scores a touchdown. We assumed that was going to happen. Marcus Marriota football, congrats to them getting a big win.

And then Carson Wentz. Oh, yeah. In the Minnesota, like, we didn't see much of the Carson Wentz experience. What we saw was the best of Carson Wentz. And they demolished the Bengals. I mean, the Bengals, I'm not saying it. No, you might have to say it. It's time.

We spent all our teams talking about. Say it. They paid the wide receivers. They made a quarterback. They spent 50% of their money on six positions. I don't know if that's winning football. Then you get Joe Burton. I'm not saying it.

It's over. Do you want us to say it? No, no. Keep going. It's bullshit. They can't block. They can't tackle. They can't punt.

They can't kick. They can't cover. The only thing they can do is hope Joe Burrow can bail him out. And guess what? Joe Burroughs big toe is around the neck of Eric Arnold. because he ripped it off. We too. All right.

So I'm done with the whole Bengals thing. Cincinnati, eat poop. All right. That's it. That's Boston Connor saying that. Your team sucks. And guess what? We're going to have to see Jake Browning in prom time.

And that's shite. Okay? There's a lot of stuff going on with the Bengals. That's going to piss everybody off. And I think that we can foresee it happening. Okay. Well, there was a lot of conversation about that in the offseason. We said, can they win that way?

They were able to. Now they don't. Carson Wentz might have been a problem for anybody with Kevin O'Connell on the call, though. Yeah, and he really only got to get through, like, the first couple pages of the playbook, you know, because they were beating the hell out of him. So they really did. Kevin O'Connell didn't even get to unleash Carson once. So I think it makes sense, hey, let's unleash this guy in Ireland. Let's introduce them to a brand of football. And we'll get the entire country to maybe even flip. I know they're a Steelers country. Maybe they're going to be fans of the Vikings and Carson Wentz after next Sunday. I assume McQuid is getting a one-on-one with Carson Went. Without a doubt. And what Carson Wentz is going to tell McQuiet, don't put this out until, you know, at least kickoff or something. we don't want the Steelers to hear about this,

but they're going to unleash me. They're going to unleash me next week for the Irish people to understand what a Shamrock could potentially look like out there as it's running on the field. Yeah, exactly. The Irish people are going to see pale skin and red hair and be like, okay, this is our football play. And then they're going to see this guy

are potentially tough and reckless. Yeah, exactly. They're saying this is our guy. We're talking about Ireland being a Steelers country. It's going to stay that way, but I think there's a chance that Carson Wentz becomes like the LeBron of Ireland. Dude, think about the Irish people too. They would love.

Oh, what are we doing? Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. They're going to love that. Carson, now I know the Steelers have had representation over there. Rooney has served as a diplomatic belief to Ireland, and there's so many Irish people in Pittsburgh, and I couldn't even fathom the amount of Irish Steelers fans. So that's going to make for a great game.

But if they see Carson once too much, they're not going to turn. Steelers fans are going to hope that he keeps that helmet on. Yeah. Because if he takes that thing off. Time for a crap. is that. His shame is playing quarterback for the Vikings. Is he from

County Cork? Now, where is he? They're not going to turn on their greatest ambassador of all time, but I'll tell you this. There it is. Ambassador, I'm like diplomat. Carson ain't given that job back. That's certainly a conversation to be had. Another day, we hope JJ gets healthy. Congrats to the Vikings.

And the number one story of the weekend. You guessed it. Best team in ball is right here in Indianapolis, Indiana. Danny Dimes only got to do everything that he's and not have a turnover the Colts the only team to ever do what they've done and not have a turnover the percentage of scoring drives higher than anybody that's ever played ball only having one punt through three full games of NFL action is better than everybody that's ever done it before the defense is all over the place brought in the right guys Lou Anarumo D coordinator being one of the right guys being brought in let alone Cam Bynum and Moni the energy on the defense side different than it's ever felt and on offense Tyler Warren is the one, and Danny Dimes is so fucking good. I don't

know if he was always this good. I don't know if the Giants ruined it, because you see Sequin, he leaves he wins the Super Bowl. Danny Dimes right now on base to win an MVP after getting an opportunity that isn't in the New York Giants uniform or organization. What he's doing is awesome. Pitman's awesome. The offense is awesome.

The offense align is awesome. Jonathan Taylor scored three touchdowns. We like that. We like that a lot. Okay, let's get some tackles, 244. We like that a lot. Let's go an up value of entire team here. Tuning up the band as the boys were rolling down. Broadway, you see that?

That's Broadway down there in Nashville. Oh, that is. I've been down there. Yeah, great play. I would say Nashville, the city itself, maybe favor in the country. Really? It's top five without a doubt.

That's a hell of a state. You just came from Miami. Without a body of water, it's... Okay, yeah, without body of water. Yeah. Miami doesn't have body of water either, really, Coral Gables. I didn't see that. You get the one of them.

Flew over it. Yeah, could feel. it. Miami Coral Gables, beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I wasn't in Miami, was in Coral Gables the entire time, absolutely glorious. Actually thought about Bonne House dinner. Was Zilli all weekend. All I was down there. Properties cheap down there. Nashville. Great time. Yes. Yeah. When it comes to strictly inside city limits, it is top three. Yeah, I don't even know how to do the numbering system because I haven't been to every city and every city. I've had a good time. You've been to the major ones. You're not putting one of those shitty ones. Nashville is awesome.

So we hope that their team becomes good. We hope they become great. I don't know about coach, Donner. I don't know. Coach is going to get fired in the next few weeks here, I think. It looks like it might be good for him. He is. He's an angry, man.

He's wild tight. Real sawed off prick. Yeah. What's that? What? You said he saw it off a little bit. It does sound like he is that way. Yeah, yeah, just a little bit.

And it's not his fault that the Colts are putting him in a living hell. I think Pittman said, is the smartest team I've ever been around. But, I mean, has there ever been a greater start for new ownership? I guess we can say commanders, but they didn't even start 3 in 0 last year. Like, when it comes to the big three, this is unbelievable. I don't know if there's ever been when it comes to just same players, for the most part, same coaching staff. Well, there's one pretty big difference. And I got a lot of heat from a lot of people that don't know ball on the internet last season.

There is one pretty big difference. And I'll tell you what, might be the greatest quarterback that's ever played in the NFL. Yeah, might be the best play of all the time. So smart. So I was talking to name drop, boom, coming. Peter Berg, okay, he makes movies. Peter Berg, Giants fan, I think, in that area, knew Danny Dimes the entire time. And whenever Danny Dimes got drafted, obviously all Giants, people were like, who's, no, remember the reaction.

Oh, yeah, they went crazy. So Peter Berg started doing research on this guy. He's like, oh, my happiness is going to depend upon this guy, like, blah, bye, bye, his dad. I think Giants fan, the whole thing, like, he gets in there. And then I guess people ought to do it. Like, his guy can throw the ball, like, 80 yards if he has. Like, he can run faster than literally everybody. He's got a Duke brain.

So, like, from day one, Peter Berg's like, run, throw far, super genius. This should be a guy. And then in the Giants, it doesn't work out. Then he goes to Minnesota, and they're like, Minnesota's thinking about off from. They really like what they're seeing. But nobody really knows what it's going to look like. And then with Shane Steichen's offense, it feels like he is just fully, in control, understands it entirely.

Shane has empowered them, and we got weapons. Yes. We got guys for him. It's like he's getting a chance, I think, to finally be the quarterback that he is, but did he need to go through all the shit to get here? Probably. Yeah, probably. And look, it takes time.

We talk about all the time. Like, it's hard to play a national football league, and you need the people around you. Not only people on the field, but the coaches from the top down, the ownership level. You mentioned the big three. But that tweet from Conti is the biggest thing, because the biggest issue with Daniel Jones throughout his career was turn the ball over, not only the interceptions, but fumbling the ball. So to go through three complete games without turning the ball over, only punting, you know, what, one time is crazy. So him playing well on offense is huge. You know, starting it off,

Kenny Moore, to pick six. So going on the road in the division rival, they talked about kind of even with the intros, they were like, ah, these guys don't have their energy. They're not ready to play today. So when you kind of put that fork in them early and kind of suck the energy out of that building on the road, one of those games, I would assume the coach said, hey, We're going to have to bring our own juice boys down here in the music city. And they did. Kenny Moe did. He left for the injury.

We signed Mike Hilton this week. But a big start on both sides of the ball. But Daniel Jones, he has been playing phenomenal. Jonathan Taylor, you mentioned them earlier. Like that long touchdown run, that's the type of shit that he'd get the whole team on the sideline, Juust, and going, man. So when you see your guy doing shit like this, you're like, okay, yeah, we're going. So, I mean, it's all on the table right now. Three and O played, you know, the combined record of the three opponents.

He played a little ugly. But, you know, I like we're at. I like his celebration, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is great. Don't love what he did, but he's certainly a good football player and seemingly got a lot of years left, too. A lot of years left, very fresh, very fast. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who knows all the things that maybe we weren't able to cover there.

Senior NFL insider for ESPN, ladies a gentleman, Adam Schaefter. Let's wrap it up here on the Colts, Danny Dimes. Is this what he was supposed to be? Is this what he always was? it was just the Giants uniform and organization, or what is kind of what you're hearing about Danny Dimes on a Renaissance-type year? Look, I remember I said this passed off season,

when there were some teams that were going to be in the market for a quarterback, I was surprised at the level of people that had the level of interest that they did in Daniel Jones. Now, not all the situations materialized, and the cults were the team that made the most sense and pursued him the most aggressively, but there were some very smart football people

that really liked Daniel Jones that had an interest in making a move on him that didn't need to. And so he winds up at Indianapolis and again, let's remember this, Pat. I'd have to look, but was it two years ago? Two years ago, roughly, that the Giants signed into a contract

for about $40 million a year. Three, three, three, three. They made a playoffs. Remember, Minnesota, the whole thing? Yeah, yeah, no. No, okay, so it was three years ago. So three years ago. they gave him a contract befitting

of a franchise quarterback and that was a year in which what he did was magic and in fact it was so impressive that they opted to re-sign him over Saquan Barclay because they couldn't do both so they chose for Saquan Barclay. We don't need to do that. Right?

Hey, we don't need you to be doing that right there, okay? We don't need you to be doing that. We're having a good time with Danny Dombs right now. Could have paid both, okay? Could have paid both. There are places that have certainly made it possible in that type of situation but we love them here in Indy. Feels like he fits the town perfectly. Not scared to go have a couple beers with the boys, which we love. Love it. We respect. Okay, let's move some other news out of the

weekend that maybe people need to be caught up with. Chefty, what did we miss maybe in there that's in your department? I saw some Achilles, I think, some other injuries. Obviously that's going to happen with football. What should we be paying attention to? Well, we've got a bunch of injuries going on right now. Mike Evans looks like he has got a low-grade hamstring strain. We'll see how long he's sideline. He's missed a few weeks last year with the hamstring. injury. So I'm going to guess he misses a little bit of time here. CB Lamb, the thought is a high ankle, but he believes that he could try to play next week. We'll see whether he could do that. Colston Loveland had a hip injury doesn't appear to be serious at all. And obviously the two big

injuries of the day yesterday were at the running back position. Nagee Harris, you saw his Achilles on the replay pop, awful injury. The charges confirmed after the game. It's an Achilles injury. They were waiting to get the MRI for the official word, but I think everybody knows what's coming there with Najee Harris. And of course, we have the situation with James Connor, the Cardinal's running back, who now suffered a awful ankle injury that's going to end season and require surgery. I don't even know exactly what it was, like, whether it was an ankle dislocation, whether there was also ligament damage. I just know I was told it was severe, and it's going to end this season, and that's an enormous blow for a guy who not only is a great running back, but also a leader on

that team and incredibly popular in the locker room. So it's a bad scene. And the crowd, when they replayed the play on the scoreboard yesterday, gasped when they saw his ankle bend. They didn't even play the replay on TV. And there's just one of those injuries he knew right away. And of course, Nick Bose is about to get his MRI right now as we're talking for his knee injury. We don't know the full extent of it. He obviously was spotted walking off the feeling. gave a thumbs down sign to some fans in the stands. Exactly. Kyle Shanahan said he didn't think it was an ACL.

That was the initial test. What that showed, it was intact initially, but they have to go send them out for further testing and sometimes things show up on a second test that didn't on a first or sometimes it's not as bad or worse. We'll see, but I know he's about to go into the MRI as I was coming on the air year. Okay, so hopefully he's good, obviously walking on.

means something, but doesn't. He might just be a completely different species of human, especially if you look at him, you think maybe life is a little different for his body than for ours. You mentioned James Connor. He had beaten cancer in the past. I think he's an incredibly tough guy. Obviously, we have nothing but love to send his way. AQ. Shipley, who's the color commentator for the Arizona Cardinals for their team broadcast, he sent me texts like, that's one of the nastiest things I've ever seen. Because remember, they didn't show the replay on TV. So as soon as that happens, and then we heard the audible gas from the crowd, and then AQ sends, it's like, ugh, that's nasty.

Hopefully, obviously, we're at the point of science being able to take care of that. You talked about Mike Evans with his injury. Let's stay in Tampa. Connor has a question for you. Yeah, Shafti, similar to Jane Daniels last week where he got hurt early and then no one really knew about it until it popped up midweek. Is that a situation that's going to happen with Baker here? We saw his right hand bother him during the game.

I forget if it got hit or stepped on or what, but that seemed to kind of affect him a little but even though he closed strong, is that something that could linger later on the week? You know what's interesting about that is on Monday night when they were playing the Texans one week ago, there were a couple of plays that Baker had where I watched his leg bend in a certain angle. There was one play.

I'm like, this guy got up from that. He's Gumby. That's incredible. And I was talking about the Buccaneers the next day, and they went over to Baker after the game. like you're okay and he's like and and his choice of language to them with it was to basically say uh with some profanity get out of my face basically whoa whoa i don't know what he said though you're a journalist you need to tell me what he said i mean if we're going to do journalism here

let's make sure for words please two words the first starts with an f the second one starts with a lie so that's what he said do you get out of my face fuck you french you okay all right I like that. Is that what he said, though? Because until we know, what did it sound like, though, what was the context of the delivery? Because you're the journalist, obviously, we just wanted to make sure. The way I wasn't there, but the way

I understood it to be, it was like, don't don't bother. Like, I'm fine. Like, don't bother. That's what Baker Mayfield said. Don't bother me. I'm fine. If it's an F and a Y, he could have been saying, like, hey, fro you? Post-game? Oh, yeah, because maybe he wanted a little frozen yogurt to maybe make him feel better. And he's trying

to die it, obviously, because he wants a little he's getting a little older, so he's not going for a full blizzard. No. But he'll do the Froyo, but he will take the Oreo and put it on the Froyo. Top for sure, yeah. Is that what he said? That's a good car. Yeah, because FY, the first thing I thought was, oh,

Froyo, so focus on his physique. How's your knee? Frojo? We don't know. Oh, now I know. Okay, now I know how we got the frozen yogurt. I get, yeah, it was a frozen yogurt conversation. Oh, that's, that's misinformation. Wait.

Hey, that's, hey, people are getting some really harsh penalties for that ship. You need to watch, especially. Hey, right below you there, right below you on your left side. You need to watch. It was frozen yogurt, just to clarify here. Okay, he said, he said, are you okay? He said,

give me some frozen yogurt, exactly. Wow, that's crazy. That's Baker Mayfield football. That's why we love him. DeBud has a question for you about that position. Oh, by the way, hold on. It was not FU, so it's not frozen yogurt. It was F,

F off with a smile Makes more sense So what would that be? I don't think I've ever heard that really said It means like I'm fine You don't have to ask me that question You don't have to ask me that question F off with a smile

Is that a competition? That's a lot of different words there The way you're kind of reciting it versus what it actually was Doesn't sound the same Yeah wrecked it on air like in real time That's my

I will say this There are many things that I love about doing this program Many things For Pat's brilliant So he's never done the show in a Speedo, which I think he should start doing that. There's many things I love, but I love when I'm asked the question, and sometimes either there's a detail that's off or a question, and the person is watching the show, and they can text me the information.

Actually, in real time, as it happens, like it was F off with a smile. That's how it came down. Well, we're happy that people are watching, and you can watch every game. every summer. Wow. And, and they haven't met today, like they haven't had the meetings yet, but

they think Baker's good. So, great news. Good question. If he says effing good, we'll never hear about it from Shephardt because he picks and chooses what words to journalize, you know, which I don't love.

But, hat, I do love frozen yogurt. I do love frozen yogurt. Oh, we know. I'm going to get patient to go to the FY as opposed to the F.O. Okay. Yeah, F-O. Much different.

Yeah, you don't want to go to the EFO. Every game, every Sunday, all in one place, YouTube TV. Boom. Shout to that. Quad Box. Awesome. Bang. Are we still watching the Red Zone channel? Nope. Really?

Yeah, I couldn't do it. Those 15 seconds, I was like, I actually did hear it yesterday. It was late. It was very late. And there was something going on on the screen. They put a wing stop one on, and I heard about some delicious wings.

And I, like, damn it! And then it stopped. And then it got back to it. And I was like, whew, okay. Oh, my God, still doing it. Still doing Red Zone. And once again, we're telling the NFL, we don't like that there's ads.

We knew they were coming. I'm sick of it. And don't destroy Red Zone with your greedy corporate bullshit. Fat Cat. I would like take a stand. Okay, so Baker sounds like he's going to be effing good. Thank you for that report. DeButt has a question for you on that position.

Yeah, Shepty, Hope's going to text you and give you an update on these guys. The other quarterbacks that have been out, the starting quarterbacks, Brock Purdy, and then all the Js. J.J. McCarthy, Jaden Daniels, Justin Fields. What's the update on those guys? That was cool. Boom. Aaron Glenn was a little bit vague on Justin Fields today,

so we'll see whether he's able to make it back. He's got an extra day next week because the Jets play on Monday night against the Dolphins. J.J. McCarthy, not expected to play this week. They play in Dublin against the Steelers. And again, it's an international trip where they play the Steelers in Dublin, and then they go play the Browns in London. they are the first team to go to two different countries. The Jaguars have done this back-to-back weeks to play in two separate countries.

And I don't think JJ plays in either game because they then have a buy week the next week. And then he can be rested and healthy and rejoin the lineup after that. He is traveling with the team. Obviously, he became a father of last week for the first time. but he's going to travel with the team overseas he'll be with them the entire time I just don't expect him to play in those two particular games

Marcus Marriota Justin Fields You know Marcus I would say this Marcus Marriota played well yesterday and I think the way he played gives the commander's time to not have to rush back

Jaden Daniels. Now we'll see how Jaden Daniels is doing this week But when a quarterback plays like that, I think it really allows that team to take its time and know that it's got a capable backup and a capable replacement. And they haven't declared anything about what their quarterback plans are. I don't think Dan Quinn will come out and say today, maybe you will. Jaden's back this week and we're already. Like, I think this will be something that kind of goes on all week again.

and I think that they have the comfort knowing that Marcus played the way he did yesterday, throwing dimes downfield like that one. Okay, Andy could run scoring touchdown for Marcus Marriota when he's playing. Let's just go ahead and lock that one in. Feels like that is a guarantee. Let's also lock in Mac Jones. Matt Jones? Who?

Mac Jones? Who? Back then they didn't want him. Now he's hot. We all want him. Mac Jones is the guy out there in San Fran. How long? and what does this mean going forward?

Well, he played very well yesterday and led that team to that victory. That's what he'd do. But he's getting closer. And it wouldn't surprise me if Purdy's back this week, finally. Initially, that injury wasn't as bad as they thought. He recovered a little quicker.

Still painful, but the fact that he was back limited last week, they ruled him out yesterday morning, but I think Purdy's going to have a chance, a real chance to go this. week. Okay. And then Justin Fields, what's going on with him? When's he going to be back? Concussion protocol obviously is what it is. Yeah, again, he's got the extra day built in. So that's encouraging. And again, I think Tyra Taylor played pretty well yesterday. And he's somebody that the team likes, trust, respects. If Fields clears, then he'll be the guy. He's got an extra day to do it.

I don't think that they have the answer to that. Aaron Glenn was pretty vague when he spoke about it earlier today. Okay, pretty vague is not what a lot of NFL fans are on the internet when it comes to this guy. Ty is a question for you. Yeah, Chefty, it was last night the kind of straw that broke the Campbell's back in terms of Russ starting

for the Giants. We saw a couple times, you know, him basically just throwing it into the tunnel, throwing it off the uprights, throwing, you know, lobs up there, throwing picks, just looking like shit pretty much. And then after the game Davele even said, you know, when asked about the fans booing the quarterback situation,

He basically said, like, yeah, I mean, I would have booed too. Why wouldn't you? So are they done with Russ? Or are we going to do this whole same song and dance next week? You know, Brian Davel didn't want to answer the question after the press conference yesterday. And I think once you answer it once, you kind of get into a habit of opening yourself up to this. So I guess he didn't want to open up the speculation. I think after that series, there were some people that were disappointed.

The schedule is so brutal. that there's not a great time to go to the young quarterback. They play the Chargers at home this week. I think that they play after that. Here we go. Chargers at home at New Orleans. I mean, that might be good, but I don't know if you want to strip the guy on the road. And then home for Philly.

Yes, you do. You definitely won. That is. Hold on. And then you got home for Philly. That's not the – and then at Denver. at Philly, home for San Francisco, like, it's a gaunt. It's got to leave. Sometimes.

I mean, that's terrible. It'll be after that run. I mean, that is a terrible run for sure. That is a horrendous run. That is not an easy decision. Also, Dave Old Shane, they've got to be thinking about their jobs, or are they tied with Jackson Darts' future success? How does that kind of work? Because, you know, there is a conversation like, these people are going crazy when Jackson jogs on the field. And obviously, we've seen this before and it not work out, but we've seen it before, and it does work out.

He looks like he's built for the moment, and we're seeing what we're seeing. Is there a chance that Dave and Shane are thinking about their job, or do they think about the future? What is the mindset over there in the decision-making process? The process has been that they've wanted to stay as patient as they can with Russell. Wilson is their starting quarterback with Jackson Dart on the bench. That's been where they've been at. Their own three, though, right now.

The fan going. you know at some point at some point they're going to make the change like it's coming we just don't know when they're going to break down and go to it's a tough The boys won it today Shafty

the boys are calling for Jackson Dart today now granted one of the boys dealt with Russell last year where Russell had like a four or five games where he was on fire and then it went the other way and I would like to thank Russell Wilson for everything he's done for ball but if I'm O and 3 and I think his conversation might come up later about a couple other teams as well

if I'm O and 3 with what the stats say of what the future looks like for our team, why would you not want to kind of see what you have? I understand that is a tough schedule. That certainly is not a good schedule for the Giants. If I'm Dayball, who's potentially on my last leg, I'm not happy that this is what the schedule looks like.

Going for her as we are, 0 and 3. But boy, at some point, we've got to let the Ole Miss boy, the Ole Dog, try to run out there. Didn't they get last place last year? How is this? How is they have the hard schedule with the NFL the following year? The NFL schedule makers say, hey, Giants, that's cute. I didn't

like the way Deboe talked about us. Let's go ahead and get him the hell out of here. I mean, it is, anything else to wrap this entire story up here? Daveau and Shane. Are we good? Jordan Renan just reported that Tyrone Tracy dislocated his shoulder last night. Stadaboo now starter.

I would think we're going to see a little bit more of Cam Scataboo right now moving forward because Tracy will miss multiple weeks. Look at Xavier Worley. He dislocated his shoulder the first week. In the friendly fire incident with Travis Kelsey, he's missed the next two games. And my understanding was that the injury was more severe than people realized. And so now Tyrone Tracy's got a dislocated shoulder. He's running back.

You're using that shoulder quite a bit. So, yeah, I think Cam Scadabu now will step into a larger role with Tracy out. The world's going to enjoy Cam Scadaboo. Yeah. The only reason why I know that is because, boy, it was great to learn about him at Arizona State last year. And he should have been known a long time ago. We have this high school clip of him. I posted this last night.

I don't know if you saw it. Cam Scadaboo in high school, untacklable, actually. Look at this dude. He sproles and all stuff mixed together. Oh, yeah, he's breaking a couple tackles. This is good for high school, yeah, we've seen this before. Okay, he's still going, still going. It's gotta be over there, right?

Gotta be over there. Nope, he's on the other side of it. Cameraman, he's the one scoring the touchdown. Yeah, that's him. Scataboo has like four plays from there. He has a kickoff return, I think, where he has something like that from high school. I have no idea how he ended

at Arizona State and kind of overlooked, but his head is the size of this desk, okay? And his grit and determination to win is beyond everybody's. And he was overlooked. It's like this dude is a weapon. And his style of play is very much, uh, battering yeah, he wants to pawn people. It's good for football if scataboo continues going. He levitated for that one. I mean, it was like a four year 12 foot levitation cam scataboo had and that's just and then we're going to hit a backflip. Yep, no problem. In full, I mean, I mean, I mean, This dude's a real deal, dude.

And I'm happy he's at the Giants because that's a massive market to kind of get a hold of him. But I wish he was on a team that was potentially going to go on a real run because this dude is legit, Shefti, legit. First of all, that run that he made in high school,

I hadn't seen that before. That's one of the greatest runs I've ever from any running back ever. Like that, that's as good as any run I've ever seen. That's like in the Beast Quake category. That's like in Sanders territory. Look at how many tackles he avoids.

Just when you think he's down, not. He breaks loose again. He absolutely has to be finished here, right? They have him wrapped up, thrown down, right? No, they don't. He breaks free again. Chris Berman would have a field day with that highlight. That's all I could think as I'm watching that. He would love that. And Cam Skada, to tie back to your initial question, I don't understand why the Giants didn't run them when they got down to the four-yard line last night on that series with Russell Wilson. Ross was playing the way he was. Like, how about giving the ball to Cam Skate? They want to get the whole post.

Chris Berman going, Woo, woo, whoa, Cam Scada Boot would have been every single week. Scada boop, boop. Yeah, I mean, it would have been a, hey, boom. Come on, boom. Come on, boom. We need that.

We need Scataboo watch with Chris Berman going forward. Okay, let's talk about another decision that was made that everybody had questions about, but if it worked out, they would have been looked at as geniuses. down in Atlanta, kind of a quarterback conversation. Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Shepty, we are all big fans of Michael Pennix here, but he looked like shite last, yesterday.

The whole team, the Falcons did not look good in general yesterday, losing on the road to the Panthers. And then Kirk Cousins made an appearance in this game. Was it just because the game was away and they wanted to keep Pennix healthy? Or can we read into this situation? What are your thoughts on this whole situation between Pennix and Kirk Cousins? That's what it is. To me, Michael Pennix had a bad day, a terrible day.

They were giving him relief. If the game was over, take him out, onto a new day. And they were just giving Kirk Cousins some mop-up time right there. It wasn't like they're bringing him to challenge Michael Pennix or anything. To me, that was one of the more disappointing results of yesterday. Green Bay losing to Cleveland. You've got the Panthers beating the Atlanta Falcons. See, the week before, the Falcons on Sunday night were incredibly impressive against the Vikings, Minnesota.

hard to reconcile how a team could look that good one week and then play like that the next week. That's odd to me. That's football, baby. That's football. That's why the NFL has the parody that it has because you have no idea who's going to show up. And getting everybody to kind of row in the same direction whenever there's injuries and there's been places. That's like super duper special teams. You've got guys that are signing on to the team on Thursday that are impacting the game on Sunday. It's like, that's why the NFL is the greatest and we're going to expect it forever. Shout to the Panthers putting it together. Shout to the Panthers putting it together.

Shout to the Cleveland Browns being problematic. Now, let's look to tonight's game. High-scoring affairs, what the sports books are saying, over under 53 and a half. Lions and Ravens, anything we need to know for tonight's game that we should be thinking about? Yeah, a couple of things. I think, first of all, it wouldn't surprise me

if both teams made some roster moves this afternoon. Marcus Davenport's dealing with a chest injury. We'll see whether the Lions go ahead and put him on IR or whether he could avoid that. We'll see whether the Ravens have to put Justin Matabeeke, their outstanding defensive tackle on injured reserve. He's got a neck injury. It sounds a little problematic, and it wouldn't surprise me if it, just before 4 o'clock, we got noticed that Justin Matabiquet wound up on injured reserve, which would be a loss for that particular defense. Aiden Hutchinson's kind of fighting his way back.

You'll notice guys are coming out of him. He's facing all kinds of things. he's playing defensive end, which has been interesting to watch some of the ways that teams have gone at him. Interesting. They had noise out right, too, right? Chafty. Yep. What's that? Yeah, he's out. Yeah. Can you bet on

500 rushing yards? Because both the lines sound like they're completely ravaged. It's a good question. Well, I mean, Derek Henry, last week, the Browns had nine men in the box, it seemed like, the entire game, and they were determined

not to let Henry run, and Draven's had the defense. making plays of different shorts, but Derek Henry last week was a non-factor with them playing the lawn like that. I don't think that'll happen again tonight. All right, Shafty, we appreciate you're on TV all night, we assume? Yeah, we're going to be doing Sports Center, NFL-L-I, Monday Night Countdown,

in the middle of having some F-Y, hopefully. Hell yeah. Yeah, well, don't F-O, brother. You got a big-time day, ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL insider for ESPN Adam Schaefter. Hey, Shepter. We appreciate, Shafty. All the intel, all the inside.

I know it feels like there's a lot of injuries tonight. It's week three. Yeah, yeah. This is football. We got starting quarterbacks, backup quarterbacks. We got D lines missing. We got a lot of stuff going on. Special teams going crazy.

I mean, this is a wild start to an NFL season. Now, Deba, what are the couple things maybe we didn't hit as much as we should there in the first 15? Oh, we covered a lot. But you know what? I would say with the champs. We start with the defended champ. Champs still the champs. I know a lot of people started to write them off early on.

The offensive struggles. And then the Rams came out of the gate. 26 to 7 I believe they were leading and can we throw up that passing chart from Jalen Hursts I haven't seen it much on the internet after week three but uh scott most like you know when he needs to he can he threw the ball down the field when you needed two second half they came back 21 32 to 26 three touchdowns no interception this is 17 games in a row now including the playoffs where he started and finished the games and they have won and it was a conversation between him and his uh offensive coordinator a little spirited on the

sideline he spoke a little candidly about that after the game we can get to that later but a great job by the eagles actually know what let's get to it now jalen what a come back a lot of memorable moments in this ball game what are you going to take away from a victory like today man regardless it's always good to get a win it's always good to get a win okay and if that does show you what type of team we are i don't know what does now we completely did that to ourselves in the first half completely we absolutely completely did that to ourselves and that's something we got we got to fix it's as simple as that it's unacceptable it's like you guys said later for this whatever happened in that first half forget about it let's go and show who we are we play so many

styles of football we're in that first half we got to get out of this plan not to lose we got to come out aggressive and play our game. You saw our game in the second half. What about Big Boy with the block and chugging down the field? I knew he was going to block it. I knew he was going to block it. I just knew he was going to block it. Yeah, we can cut it right there.

That's just a great effort. So, yeah, him and the Petulow guy, the new OC. Okay, so everybody's calling for his job last week during every action. Monday is the new offense coordinator. Yeah. Second half, that offense looked vastly different than the first half. There was one throw to A.J. Brown that kind of sprung everything down the right side as I was watching that. It felt as if, you remember AQ Shipley last year, he was like, I like the Eagles offense line.

They got the best offensive line in football. Sequin Bargley is the best running back, maybe in the history of football. I don't know if Jalen Hertz is the guy. And we attacked AQ immediately for that. It's like, what are you talking about? Like, this guy is the guy. But I think there was a lot of people that had that narrative. Felt like the offense coordinator for the Eagles maybe had that narrative for the first couple weeks.

And then once he opened it up and allowed him start throwing in the second half, guess who else that helped? Seyquan Barker. That helped the run and everything. one wasn't really working. It's like now hopefully Patulow and Jalen are kind of on the same page. I don't know if they were trying to roll it out, but it felt like he wasn't as confident in like, hey, we got a lot of money out there, we got a lot of money out there, we got a lot of money right here, we got a tight end with a lot of money. Lane Johnson getting hurt,

not great. They're gonna have to figure that out. But it was nice to see him open it up again. Yeah, it was nice to see him doing and turn it on when he needed to just like he did in the Super Bowl. And then a former eagle, now a Viking, Isaiah Rogers had an unbelievable game against the Bengals. Start all off of the pick six right here we always talk about tips and overthrows made him pay for the overthrow took it back to the crib unbelievable with the ball in his hands does some special special things and now unbelievable punching the ball out of other guys and had two force fumbles this was his first one that he also picked up and took to the crib i saw on the internet i don't know

how it's true it is but a 99.9.9 rating or score with pf which everybody and anybody who watch his game because see he pretty much pitched the perfect game for a defensive player first Viking ever to score two touchdowns in the game. Hey, Isaiah Roger's story is a good one too. Absolutely. Happy for him, man. Way to bounce back. Way to be a baller.

Congrats on having a phenomenal game against the Bengals as they beat the hell out of the team from Cincinnati. It's glorious overreaction Monday. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to do this for a living. I was in a Speedo on Saturday. We talked about that in the next hour, I assume, at some point. Speedo wasn't, wasn't, the banana hammock wasn't holding anything. Sure.

What? Yeah, I just put that thing on about 40 minutes before that during a commercial break in a Port-a-Jong, which was actually a poop crock part. It was how hot it was. I get up to the top. I notice that thing's completely...

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 the 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. Available now, wherever you get your podcasts. Football! It's great. We can't wait to continue to chit-chat about it. The college football weekend was spectacular. One half of the hammer. God. Cowboys AP tone will give us a breakdown of that here in a matter of moments. The toxic tables here at Boston Connor. Loser. At Ty Schmidt, loser. Yeah. Tough day. Toxic table. Now, let's go to nine-year NFL vet. Host of everything, DB, good D, and a bad D.

Winner, ladies a gentleman, Dave Scha. All your teams. Oh, all but one. Oh, they're never going to win again, though. Yeah, all but won chargers, eagles, my coats, all undefeated, but, you know. And the Panthers even win for it? Yeah, the Dolphins tonight. Chuckie was up picking, picking games. Magic the Chuck looked awesome. So it's always pays the research. I was talking about the Carolina Panthers, but I understand that you were saying also the Florida Panthers is.

You're brown. All the Panthers. That's not my team. Okay, to hell with that? Yeah. I like that. You got the Ravens tonight, though. No, I'm not my squad.

Tough look for you, Hopkins. We do have it. No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm a dolphin in forever. I'm locked in. Oh, you're about to ship them out. I thought relegation, but I can't do it. Oh, relegating one of your teams, Don, you know, you've got different benefits when you lived his life. Well, I appreciate the way you have tried to promote others to live your life, too.

Dary J. Butler has five teams he's pulling for it. Four. Then let's add colleges. We got you. We got Yukon. Only two. Okay, so six teams. He's got six teams any given weekend to be pulling four.

And the stupid, you know, Mercedes or whatever. Bullshit. Yeah, Rude Van, Oscar. Nisdoroy, Oscar, Disastery. Yeah, we remember him. Michael Petrie. So, he's got a...

So disrespectful. It's not about G1, dude. We got, you got 10 different, are those guys all in different teams or the same team? Yeah, Leigh to Norris. And they're different. These guys are making like $50,000.

These are icons. Absolute dogs. And we don't care. No. We do. And we never will. Back to the point. Back to the point.

Darius has 10 to 11 different things that can win. in on any given weekend that'll bring him joy. So what he has been trying to do is to tell others, hey, you need to pick up some more teams. You need to pick up some more things so you're not just boom, boom, because a team that you've never met, a group of men that you have no idea who they are behind closed doors is controlling your happiness.

Now, a lot of people say, D-But, that's disgusting. You're a part of the problem. D-Buck comes back and says, I want to enjoy sports. So there's a valid argument on both sides. Let's go to one-half of the hammer. Cowboys at Bubba Gumpino he is a Miami Dolphins fan He shares that with you

You two very diehard dolphins fans But if you see the jersey he's wearing now He thought he was going to get that last week It came four days late Which we all appreciate and respect In the Jersey ordering game nowadays He is just picked up The Dolphins are just kind of hot

Okay see ya Shout out to the U being back Miami Hurricanes feel all the way back That university was electric down there Yeah I was supposed to have this jersey for that trip fanatics. Appreciate it. What happened? Yeah, the U. The U is all the way

back. They're electric to watch. This Bain guy up front on defense, every play is an absolute menace. And then Gators came back a little bit. Carson Beck didn't have his best game, but then they just got back to pounding the rock and just shoved it down the Gator's throat to win that game.

Amazing, amazing university, I would say. And that president, Joe E. from the Bronx, this guy's got access to a lot of money, knows how to operate a lot of money, and also is a very good leader of that entire place brand new seemingly and only getting newer you know now the stadium is an interesting conversation because how far away it is yep and i assume in miami it's not going to be easy to find real estate where you can potentially put that big of a thing but everything that

miami has going on feels very aligned with their sports being good like very very much so so if you're a miami hurricanes fan who happens to be a miami dolphins fan and you're not like darius butler and pick up five other teams because you are a dolphins fan over the last 30 years just know that the Hurricanes feel like something that's sustainable for the next foreseeable future. That's how you feel after leaving there, right, Gumpie? Yeah, especially after talking to Cristobal. I mean, he is the man. Sabin said it. He's the perfect guy for that team.

He is unbelievable. Great guy. Cristobal, Cam, this guy Cam, he's a, I don't know what his job is. I have no idea with right. He's a legend. Absolute legend. He's a weapon. President, this Cam guy, he was the, I don't know if he's the SID, media guy, PR guy.

He just won't find a speed up. Benny hat. Yeah, this guy, what do you need? You need a suit. You need to look like you're from Miami. I got you, do no problem. Bang, da bang, and bang, how about that? Fucking unreal, like his energy, this guy, Cam, immaculate.

But I don't think he's the only one there. I think everybody there, the president loves Miami. Cristobal, he's a boy, love to hurricanes. Loves Miami. This Cam guy, I assume, echoes the sentiment a lot of, love Miami. Like, they're all very proud. That's why when I was standing up there, 32.9 feet up in the sky. or as the Europeans, and I guess Olympics, say, 10-meter board.

I say it's very evident that these students love this universe. They do. They love being there. And now with the alumni being able to give money and support the school, if you love the school, let alone Dana White getting there, you know, down there now with more money being attracted. Tax-free. I mean, even that, when it comes to NIL. State income tax, obviously a huge deal, especially for these players that are getting paid,

a lot of money, which Carson Beck allegedly is. And everything about the president, his whole. entire life business is money that's what he was in what they are doing everybody else should be doing that's the big thing right there joey joey from the bronx like as long as he's running the show and he can get them because look colleges college football it always has been big business but it's big business now more than ever so if joey's moving shit around you talked about alumni base and them showing up and giving money all that shit is dope but if joey can move around and make sure we continue getting these players boy i'm telling you i think it's all i think it only just

begun. I think this has only just begun in the last couple of years. It felt like it lost its luster and its connection. And now they're like very much focused on the you being the you again. And like pulling on that from all this, Dwayne Johnson gave him what? Like a set of that. I don't know if it was this president or the previous one, but Dwayne Johnson donated whatever a hundred million for a new, like everybody that is down. I think Miami's in a good, especially with the ACC right now. But is Clemson, you know, Florida State's real year to year? Can't wait for that game. Got it. Two weeks.

Miami, Florida State. Two weeks. Wow. By week, then, did it off. Just got an ounce. It's 7.30, Saturday night. And Georgia Tech right now with Hanks King. Will they be able to supplement that going forward?

We don't know, but we know this year they're going to be good. It's like Miami feels like it's a sustained operation right now. I should feel very good about them. Yeah, Miami and Penn State. If you just look at those two schools, they're going to be the blueprint. Oregon, you can throw in there too. I mean, I wonder USC's probably throwing a bunch of money around. It feels like that is now the blueprint.

Anyone who's not operating as if, hey, this is now a money business. It is basically just a business. We don't have to treat this as if we did before where it's the education and, you know, football. It is now football. By the way, Miami Education. Top tier. Private Institute. Penn State.

Very good. Top tier. And that's only going to help those schools. You wonder if the better education is going to lead to those schools being better because they do have more money from alumni. But if every school isn't doing that, if you're in the SEC or big-time, or anything, and you don't have some sort of money guy in your building, whether it's an A.D. With say, with real sway. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Whether an AD president, you know, a vice president, something like that, like you will be left behind. And if you're one of those boosters, you better make sure your school knows that, too. Go ahead, Ty. Well, I was just going to say, like, for them not being relevant, at least to the point, like, when we were growing up that they were, where you could, you know, basically set your watch, like, hey, this team might win a national championship. That's the game aside, like watching Game Day on Saturday.

I was like, this campus is unbelievable. It is so nice. The weather is perfect. So if you can get the football kind of starting to go in the right direction, it's like, why wouldn't you want to come here? Yeah, legit. And you think that as you're walking around the campus a lot. It's like, I don't know what I would have became with all this and how nice this is.

Like, I don't know if I would have been able to maintain focus. But if I was just choosing a school to go to, it's like, why would you not come to a resort? Yeah. Not that Penn State isn't awesome. but if you went on a visit to Penn State in October and then went to Miami the following weekend, like which way you think you're going to leave? Well, then people would say, well, the college atmosphere

at Penn State is better than it is in Miami. It's like, I think they have house parties and shit down there. They have an entire, they have an entire off campus. And let me tell you, beautiful. It's a nice house. You got scooters and skateboards everywhere. It was, it was, it was, felt like they're really living down there. See people blading or just?

I didn't see any blades. I didn't leave campus really, though. So I didn't see any blades. A lot of these, scooters. A lot of the scooters. A lot of scooters. Because traffic's so bad in Miami. I guess so there's a lot of...

Like limes and stuff? No, people like... Personalized scooters, yeah. Yeah. That's a big note. Des showed up on his own scooter. Jay Hesler. Heard was in the area.

Nice scooter. I bet. 15, 20, I think. Especially you put that thing in Rabbit. Yeah. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a... Well, I guess down in Miami, you would put it in Cheetah mode, but for how long? Yeah.

Well, said. And are you getting pulled over? Yeah. Swing. Yeah. Joining us now, ladies. gentlemen is a college football national champion a super bowl champion a rider cup winner ladies and gentlemen a j hawk yeah oh great see you hawker hey we just talked about a lot

about down there in miami and uh i i know uh that you saw me adjust myself uh with a camera very close on me and i will say if i didn't do that a j whole show literally whole thing that thing was riding that thing was ride right right right right right real right real right right there was the uh do we have any idea do did you give a heads up to all the great people behind the scenes that are filming this hey possibly like blur it out maybe maybe give you a blur to but if you do the blur you have to do like a bigger a fake blur all the way down your ankle bigger blurr yeah you need to blur the whole thing no uh this all came together relatively quickly i think we should uh everybody should kind of understand that uh Friday night

des hosted an incredible gathering for everybody got a chance to see his house So sick. He has a hat right in the middle of his living room. His house is like a museum. Paintings everywhere. Like very beautiful. It is. Dead's house is one of the nice houses I've ever seen. Like it is incredible. Right in the middle has a hat with a box around it. And it says the greatest catch I've ever made. And it's Desman Howard. And obviously the question, what is this? Oh, it's Michael Jackson's hat. He threw it my sophomore year of college. I went to a concert. Wow. threw it out in the crowd. Des, I guess. Of course.

That's pretty sweet. And then he held on to it. it is that's pretty sick yeah it was it was very sick but as we're doing it uh chefs obviously they made some jamaican food it was i'm telling it was great it was it was i would say the perfect event for whatever it was supposed to be you know like everybody again crew coming audio coming makeup cut like every and it was called like a flow through so nobody felt obligate like it was just very well done i would say one of the camera people that have been there for a long time blanking on his name 100% on me he's on a jib away from us he's not on the set he is somewhere else He's been there a long time, though.

He basically brings up to me, like, you're going off that high dive or whatever? And I'm like, I don't know. Is it like, how close is it to the set? They're like, right, it's literally right next to the set. And I was like, could you get on camera? He goes, oh, yeah, we got a lot of cameras that can get over there. And then he even says, like, we'll never get an opportunity to do that again. So, like, this thing is right next to that.

Just won't let you know. Camera guy. Just won't let you know. We'll never have this opportunity again. We can certainly get it on camera. It was like, okay, we should think about doing that. So then I talked to Red. Matt's his name at Game Day that night. I'm like, hey, is anybody going off?

What's going on here? What's the situation? Then he said Jess was going off there. And I was like, sick. Okay, I won't do it then. I don't want to do it if Jess is doing it. And then I think Jess came up with the idea. It was like, well, last week he kind of challenged me.

I'll challenge him to do it if he'll do it. I'm like, perfect. Let's do that. So then whenever I see Jess up there, I'm thinking to myself would be kind of cool if just doesn't do this right now. Okay? Then if I was to do it later, Jess did. into the field goal thing, just into the top thing, but instead, Jess, just like a G, cuts a

promo up there, puts that thing down, walks right off, wasn't even a second thought, walks right off of that thing, nails it. Yeah, send it. Picture perfect in that entire thing. I'm like, damn, like, Jess really, what do I do that is even close to winning there? So then there was a speedo conversation that saw it happen. Sure. The speed of conversation that was brewing, you know, a little bit before the show, I asked this Cam gentleman, I said, hey, what are the divers where when they go off there? They wear a speedo, right? Yeah, I was like, can I

get a speedo from the diving team? Because then when I drop that shit, it'll say Miami, you know, so then it's like easy. This is who I'm picking, Miami. So Cam tells me immediately, I'm looking at you. I don't know if we got any divers. I don't know if we got any divers. I'm like,

no, they're like big, well, the swim team because we only have a women's swim team. And I don't know. I don't know if we, they're very good, I guess. But I don't know if we have, if the divers are going to have that. He makes a couple calls, obviously, two phones. This guy, Cam, always on. I think always loves the hurricanes.

He goes, the biggest we got is size 30 waist. I'm like, that's eighth grade for me. Actually eighth grade for me. He goes, I told you you were going to be small. I don't know. So then Matt Garrett read during the show, goes, hey, we can certainly find a speedo somewhere if that is still an option. And I just, yeah, sure.

talk back yeah let's go ahead and check that so then all of a sudden about 45 minutes later i get a we have three different options of speedos they're all black though so it won't really help with the debut but if you want to wear it cool brings it up i think it was 34 maybe 30 34 30 like somewhere in that range closer i'm i'm a 37 i'm stuck in between 36 and 38 that's kind of where i dance 38 you've seen me on tv with them it looks a little bit ridiculous there's a little bit I think, 36, a little tight in the area, look a little bit ridiculous. So with my fat ass, that's kind of how it is.

So 34, we get that thing. I look at it. I'm like, I don't know. But I don't know what the speed they're supposed to be. I don't know what they're supposed to be. So I got to go in a port of John, okay, right behind the... Like during a commercial break? Yeah, right before the last hour.

I go into a port of John. It is 190 degrees. Okay? I am in a poop crock pot in there. Okay, and I got, my pants are all drenched because I'm sweating. the entire day. So I had to peel these things off of me, during a commercial break, peel these things off of me, put them on top of the toilet paper little fucking thing. Because there isn't like a, there's not a shelf in these border johns. So then I put this thing

on, boy, real tight. Hold on. Did you leave underwear in her? What's that? Did you leave your underwear that you were wearing in the porter john? No, put them back on. Oh, you did? I put the, because they were stuck in my pants. Yeah, stuck in my pants. Who had the speedos packed over? Is it, was it the other guy? What do you mean? No, they went bought them. They weren't bought them. They went the dicks and bought them.

It was the biggest one. Another guy probably did have some. Yeah, but then I put that thing on. It was really uncomfortable. Last hour, you probably see me fidgety a little bit. I was so tired because I'd sweat so much at that point. Those fans that stood out there with us the entire time, absolute legends and icons.

But then, yeah, as I'm running up there, I'm feeling that thing, you know, kind of not feel comfortable, but it's a speedo. I don't know what it's supposed to feel like. It's isn't my normal thing. And then when I unbuttoned my jeans at the top of that thing, I look down and because it's white pants I could see it. Oh, there's my dick right

there. That's exactly. That is exactly what I did. So now I'm like, oh no, what do I do here? Because this thing is literally just shoved right over here. So I try to adjust myself and you guys saw it. I found a brick center. I think Ballsack. Ballsack sports. Everybody was having a good time with that. I'm like,

that was almost all of me. All of me. Almost all. Have you, that Sebastian? Yeah. Great mascot. Was he talking or no? No, no talking at all.

Exactly. A lot of moxie. Came in afterwards. I'm shirtless in the production room because that was it. Missed me ripping my shirt. David Allen shout to you, bro. You did make that a little bit more difficult than I thought it was going to be with those button and kind of ripped that thing.

Shout to Cam, getting me the sport coat and the pants the night before, obviously, so I could go real Miami-Vicey. Yeah, it was a good time, man. It was fun. But, yeah, my balls were almost completely out there. I mean, and obviously. Okay, and Caboto. Yeah, the whole thing.

They hated poor. It was a lot further of a fall than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, how was it right there? Was it, when you got up there, was it, okay, this is a little taller than I thought this would feel? Didn't look down, really. Looked at students a lot, looked out. When I was doing the whole, then they spell out C-A-N-E-S-K-N-E-S-Kens, but the Sebastian move is a lot of that. Didn't look down.

Kind of had a little bit of a worrisome when I put the microphone down. Sure. And I like almost look down. You look down, your eyes are connected to your brain. There's almost a natural reaction of like, oh, what are we even thinking about doing? So for me, I got to just go. So I didn't even look down. But midway through, I certainly thought to myself, wow, this is further than I thought it was going to be.

I'm still falling right now, you know, and I'm happy to talk. Yeah, no bruises. They told me if I cannonballed, there was a chance I would have blew my, my butt hole. Is that right? That's what they told you. Yeah. That thing would be Especially if I'm sitting

sitting that thing down. I was thinking about doing the backflip, I guess, because Mark Rick, head coach formally, did backflips off that thing to wow up there, rowdy up the student section

or whatever. Thought about doing that because I have done that off top turnbuckle and things like that. But then if you over rotate there, that's catastrophe. Yeah.

Break every bone in your face. That's certainly catastrophe. And right there, I didn't have a mic on. I said, Coach Corso, this pencil is for you, okay? And the reason why I did a pencil,

because first of all, I thought it was sweet to honor Coach Corset like that, but also the thought of just dying up there was much less with the pencil. So that's how it all came together, AJ. And what a day. Then I get to my phone like 20 minutes later, you know, because I'm drenched my phone

and my shits everywhere. And I'm like, man, I wonder how many people think I'm the worst human on earth for doing that. You know, like I was like, look at this. I thought there was going to be a lot. Pretty positive reaction. I'm very, very thankful for that.

And then as the bus is heading to the FBO, the airport, to get back to Indy for WrestleMania, I got a call from Coach Corso, and it's like, Coach Corso, he and I certainly got along, friendly, very much so, would ask him questions, would help. I think good relationship is how it would be described. But I've only known him here the last couple years. You know, I have known him for 30 years, like everybody else, 20 years for everybody else. So him calling me, unprompted out of nowhere, was awesome. and right behind me there is our last show rundown of picks that we had at Ohio State.

And I asked him to sign it with his Ticonderoga pencil whenever he was done. And he says, now your turn, Pat, like literally to me. It's like a pretty cool moment. And that call from him, I got emotional. It was a crazy day. And then Russell Paloza was happening in Indianapolis, with WWE and ESPN coming together. And it's like, man, there's a lot of insane shit happening.

I'm incredibly grateful and thankful. And also pumped my balls. show. And I think that's a big deal. You know what I mean, AJ? Yeah, that's what they were very worried that you would spread your legs and that's when you're, you know, it would just, what water would go up through your butt through your mouth and you just float or what? Yeah. I mean, maybe. I didn't think. No, no, it probably, I don't know. Because the one thing's connected to the other thing. And then the odd thing's connected to the otter thing. Isn't there like a thing in there that's like 10 miles? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Your stomach could explode if it went through your bottle hole. Yeah. Uh, probably. More so than just come out your mouth. No, it would be like what they did on Jackass where they just get all the stuff out of you. They're talking bruised feet. Oh, yeah. If I was to do that. I mean, all these things were being talked about.

Like, hey, this is this. I watched a military. I think it was the Marines. I think it was them jumping out of coppers, like what you do with your shit. So I just tried to mimic that. And, yeah, body feels good. So that was your first time jumping off something that, huh?

No, so we jumped off pier in Pittsburgh. It was down on, what was that road to shit? Down on barking. Yeah, barking. Yeah, Barking Road. It was into a river, but it was always night. They would say different. That's 20 feet.

Oh, it's 40 feet. You have no idea. And then all you would hope is it's a river so you don't hit anything pretty real. Obviously, jumped off the steel cage at NXT. I've jumped off things before, out of a plane. You know, I've done that. But it's always just can't. Just do it.

Can't look. Can't look. Just got to go. Like the pier couldn't see shit. It's black into a river. It's like this hindsight. That's wild. Pretty terrible decision.

You're also not a huge, like, swim and water guy. You know, so it's like that's it. I mean, I assume you went right down to the bottom. Touch the bottom. I thought my ears were going to explode. I imagine. As I was going down, I'm like way too low right now. Way too low.

Kept going. Kept going. Touch bottom. Also, speedo, right back to where it was. But this time, cheeks, too. Yep. And you were gassed. I mean, you ran so far and climbed up like three flights there.

Thank you. I got a text from Whitey, West Virginia legend, host of the old grad podcast. he said, you just literally did a fireman work like a firefighter. You just did the firefighter super challenge. You sprinted, then you did the-talking the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very thankful I got to do it. Shout to Miami. That was a lot of fun. I'm happy we made it.

Go ahead. Now we just... Yep, exactly. You know? One off the high dive. You all saw it. Yeah. Do I have to do it again? Get it. No way. We're going to do an Olympic thing someday. They'll have that high-dive,

and I'll be like, that was so much fun when I got to do it. Don't want to copy it. You've already done it. It's not going to be. Tan lines. Everybody needs to relax. I fell asleep in Puerto Rico. What are you going to do? I thought they look good. I fell asleep in Puerto Rico.

You know, that's all right. That was day one I got down there. Yeah. You should have seen what that felt like day two. Down there up here. It is crazy that I guess my whole body could be that tan if I just fell asleep in Puerto Rico for three to four hours. Yeah, there you go.

Because I had those shorts on. You know, I had sunglasses on with a hat up here. A towel over my body. Just kind of passed out, maybe on some vitamins. And I'll tell you, you saw where I didn't cover my face. still there. That's, what, a month and a half ago? Yeah. Two months ago? Geez.

I don't want to think about the worries of that. I say, some plays no games. Yeah, yeah. No, it doesn't. Join us now, ladies and gentlemen. We made him wait through that entire thing. We apologize. He will be on the Monday night football coverage. I do believe this evening. He's an ESPN pundit.

He's an Emmy Award winner. Ladies and gentlemen, Pierce Riggard. Oh, where are you at? The hell? I'm in Baltimore. I'm in Baltimore, my friend. This is the Baltimore skyline behind me. I found this on Google Images. I like that.

good play. Pay homage to the Baltimore folks. Have you been down to Jimmy's famous seafood? I don't think it's in this shot, but it should be. It is not. Jimmy has been very good to me and my family in the past. We get some packages, some time to time whenever you talk positively about the Ravens, but we have not been there yet.

I love Jimmy's seafood, but I also love being in Baltimore. I just took a walk around the inner harbor this morning. Fresh air, beautiful. We got a great one tonight. Okay, so you say you talk positive about Baltimore. Jimmy's famous will take care of you. Tonight, are you talking positive about Baltimore Ravens? How do you feel about this evening's game?

Yeah, this evening's game is a really good one. It's a great one that we have in week three on Monday night, but really it's between two teams that silenced a lot of people after week one. And I look at this one, to me, if you're Lamar Jackson, one of the best Monday night footballers of all time. He's never thrown an interception on Monday night football. He's seven and two. He's got this great record. He's also 24 and two against the NFC. Nothing is going to be accomplished tonight by beating the Detroit Lions in week It's not like you're going to look at your resume and say, well, he didn't do this, he didn't do this, he didn't do this, but he beat the Lions in week three of the 2025 season. That said, when you're looking at what the bills are doing up there in the AFC East, and you're looking to hold serve, and you know how important home field is in these playoffs.

I think this game does matter in the big picture. And I also think that they're looking to make a statement on national TV after giving up that loss in the way the defense played against Buffalo in week one. Go ahead, AJ. Shregs, what about this Detroit Lions team? I believe you came on this program and said you think there's a chance that they do not make the playoffs this year, if I'm not mistaken. What do you think is on the line for them tonight, and how do you think they're going to look? Yeah, I went from being like Mr. Lyons, everyone loving me in Detroit because I was on this ride until now being public enemy number one. The truth of the matter was, I thought the NFC was loaded at the top, and I wasn't sure how this team would respond to the loss of Ben Johnson and obviously Aaron Glenn.

Well, week one, I'm not saying I look like a genius, but there were serious questions. Week two, they shut me up and they shut a lot of pundits up and that offense looked awesome and it looked like the Ben Johnson offense. That said, if they go out there tonight and they don't do that and now we're one and two,

you're in a bit of a hole. What they got in their favor, though, was that the Brown silenced the Packers last night. And of course, we know that the Vikings have a tough trip to Dublin and they're going to have to go up against the Steelers. Like, this might be one of those years

where it's an 18-week season and it's going to come down to the final week. I didn't have the lines in the playoffs at the start of the season. if they play like they did last week against Chicago, I look like an idiot come January. Absolutely. A lot of us will for a lot of the things we say throughout in the entirety of an NFL season.

Last year, it came down to the last week, obviously between the Vikings and the Lions to decide who was number one in the NFC or who was going to get fifth place in the NFC, which almost changed the rule because of how great that NFC North is. Excited to see what Lions team we have tonight. You talked about the Packers losing to the Browns. This Browns defense may be generational in this entire thing

whenever it's said and done what they're able to do at home, plus what they're able to do to everybody. This Packers team was hottest team in the NFL. We thought maybe Packers might go on and win it all because of who they were at the beginning of the season. Michael was the perfect little kickstart to an entire operation of greatness, and then they go and have to deal with this.

How do you feel about the Browns? And what do you think the Browns look like for the rest of the year? Well, here's the other part of it. Packers didn't play since Thursday. So the Packers had like 10 days to prepare. They're riding high. There's talk of undefeated season.

and then they commit 14 penalties. 14 penalties looked absolutely out of sorts, and that's a credit to this Cleveland defense. I mean, if you watch the Browns, it's basically if the offense doesn't screw things up, they're going to be in every game. Last week, the offense screwed things up. They were turnovers galore,

and then the Ravens were able to capitalize late, and that score got out of control. But if you look at weeks one and three, like this Brown's defense, what they did to Joe Burrow in week one, I mean, Joe Burrow, they had seven yards in the second half of week one. And then to see this offense

that was lighting it up the first two weeks just go completely silent. And Mason Graham, like rookie all over the place. And then our offense, Judkins gets in the game, 94 yards.

If the Browns don't screw it up on offense, they're going to be in every single game this season, and they're going to be a pain in the ass to play because that defense is so good. Nightmare for the AFC North is Cleveland Browns.

Just late in the season. Who do you have to get through? Oh, to Brons. Are they going to make the playoffs? Nah. All right, Steelers should win that one. Steelers fans are like, excuse me, do you know who they paid $40 million a year to on the defense side of that ball?

He is a game record. He will take shit over whenever he wants. And let alone them blocking a kick late in special teams and then going on to hit another kick. It's like, is there a couple different phases that are elite for the Cleveland Browns right now? And then are they going to be able to figure out how to make that offense? Is it the future time? Or is Joey Flacco just going to be the guy that rides the Browns to the playoffs?

for another year. Now, let's talk about a team that maybe had a little bit of success, a little bit of an upside, also a big-time contract to a head coach. Go ahead, Dee Butch. Yeah, talk about the future of Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. They look good against the Dallas Cowboys. Now, what's your thoughts on that? Is it more of the Cowboys just absolutely stinking on defense?

Or maybe as Caleb Williams possibly turning the corner here with Ben Johnson. I think it's a combination of both. I think the Cowboys are horrendous on defense right now and then to figure their stuff out. But let's not take anything away from Caleb and from Ben Johnson. Look, that team bought in on Ben Johnson's entire summer of de-wiring them and then rewiring them into what he wanted them to be. In the first two weeks, it didn't look like that was going to be anything. And yet they stayed committed to it, and it all came to fruition yesterday.

I love the fact that you saw DJ Moore in the backfield three or four times. I love the fact that they ran that weird-looking flea-flicker. I love the fact that they gave up zero sacks. That means that this team stuck with themselves, and they didn't come unraveled after that week two lost. to Detroit. It was so personal with Ben Johnson going back to Detroit. I think we underestimated how much the Lions wanted to beat him and how much that Lions team was hearing the noise after that week one loss to the Packers. To come out week three with Brady and Burkhart on the

call, national audience, and to be the ones to actually light it up and do it with the way that the Lions played last year. I mean, Caleb looked great yesterday. Great. And there was some signs of greatness in those first two weeks. You have to feel energized as a Bears fan. And at least this thing is not hopeless, and they're going to be on the right track. They committed to Ben Johnson's offense, and it proved to be working just fine once they got things going. Yeah, the Dallas Cowboys, obviously, there's a different conversation happening for them, and that's rude, because maybe the Chicago Bears team did find it, and they're actually a good team. Caleb Williams had his best day on the field, in a locker room.

He always messed up the first ever win for the head coach thing. Almost missed him with the throw and called it the wrong title. Yeah, I mean, it was just, it was a whole thing, but hey, didn't know he was focused on the game. Wasn't focused on celebrations of Ben Johnson. Also, like the fact that Ben Johnson's thing is good, better, best, never let it rest until you're good is better and you're better as best, because I've been actually saying that my entire life. Really?

Yes. Is that like a high school? I never heard that. And he rattled that thing off. And I was like, oh, I like that. I'm going to write that down. But you knew that one. Yeah, I guess I would assume somebody said that one time around me.

And I was like, yep, bars. Who said that? Yeah, I don't know who said it. And I think I've always just said it because it's just, you know, it's a lot. But then if you listen to it, it's like, oh, that's. pretty good little saying, and I love that Ben Johnson's just taking that to the entire team. I like that any coach is kind of using that as

their rally cry, and if they nail it in there, let's go. Hell, yeah, he's an absolute maniac. You know what? I may be in a minority. I like Caleb's post game. He was hyped. He was excited. First, home win. He almost missed him. Don't give him an easy pass. Oh, you're right, man. So that's up there.

Maybe he was impersonating the flea flicker, the toss back to him. Yeah, and we remember from last year, he's a big, hip, hip, hooray guy. So, you know, you've got to let him kind of grow with the celebrations first victory at all and you know good little touch there I appreciate it looked like they got along too

which I think is a big conversation you know Caleb and bed getting along showing respect I think is good maybe the Bears are ony up and up congrats bet let's talk about maybe one dying go ahead tone yep the bears looked really really good against Cowboys you know who else looked

really really good against Cowboys Russell Wilson and then he looked like shit in weeks one and three so um when are we going when are we in your New York Giants going to Jackson, dark strikes because this was not it last night. I mean, there was, there was many interceptions, there was balls into the 18th row, there was balls into the locker room. How do you feel about your Giants in the quarterback position?

You know, the interesting thing is the offensive line actually played pretty well yesterday. So this was the big excuse was, well, the offensive line sucks. Anybody behind that offensive line is going to struggle. Offensive line, they did their job. I know Andrew Thomas only played about 25 snaps, but he and Marcus Meebo kept that defensive line from Russ. it was unfortunate that they couldn't score there in the red zone at the end and those four passes were what they were.

There's never going to be a good time to put Jackson Darden. You and Adam Schaefter, you guys went over the schedule in the first hour of this show. There's not going to be an opportune time where, hey, this makes sense. This is the moment.

This is the window. What I took away from last night's broadcast and we talked so much last week about the value of a production meeting, well, Chris Collinsworth was absolutely glowing about how the judge Giants are talking about Jackson Dart behind the scenes, that they go into the facility, and he's like, ho, ho, the way they're talking about this dart.

You know, so they obviously know internally that Dart is trending upwards. The question is, when do you want to throw them into the mix? I look at that schedule, there's not going to be a great time. So this is going to be Brian Dable, and it's going to be his decision. I think Russ has played fine. I think, obviously, if you look at what happened last night, they didn't get the plays they needed in the red zone, but they were moving the ball up and down the field and Scataboo look like he can play.

The truth the matter is, they're going to have to put Darden at some point if they continue to lose just to salvage this fan base. And that's not a knock on Russ. The fan base wants to see him. And if you listen to Collinsworth last night, they're absolutely giddy in that building over what they're seeing from Jackson Darden practice. So at this point, your 0.3, I know it's not ideal to play the Chargers next week in that defense, which is unbelievable, but it might never be ideal.

And in the NFL, there's a lot of good defenses. So let's roll the dice. Well, you go down in New Orleans, too. with a game of experience and maybe be able to pick up one that you might be able to win dinosaur too, like that heat hits you a little bit like your Jackson dark. Crowd, you talk about salvaging the fan base. Booze for us, cheers for Jackson. I mean, that is just like, the fans are almost like, well, what do we even draft the guy for?

You know, and this isn't the first time this has happened. This has certainly been on multiple occasions where the fans go, hey, we're done with this guy. We would like to see this guy. This is what we did. will Dayball and Shane say, all right, let's go with it. I'm excited. You guys iced out every week. They put him in a few times, Pat, and it's basically like Jackson Darts in,

then he lowers his shoulder and gets absolutely crushed by a defensive lineman. You're like, no, no, no, that's not what we, that's, let's let's let them throw the ball. You're happy he's on, yes, but not. We like that, but I don't need him as a battering ram with his head down, like running into a 350-pound guy. I would also add the Giants are the only team in football that has a kicker be, you know, hurt and pregame two years in a row. And this thing was crazy, crazy. And this happened last year against Washington.

So you get Art Stapleton tweeting that, hey, wait, in pregame warmups, Graham Gano's hurt. They're going to have to go to, you know, Jamie Gillen again, and the Scottish hammer is going to have to kick. And then it's blocked right away. And that kick would have been blocked. It was even close. Yeah, it's awesome.

This is like bad news bear stuff when it happens year after year after year. And that's what the Giants fans are booing about. Like when we've got a league where there's, you know, guys kicking 64-yard field goals in their sleep, the Giants can't even, you know, have a- a kicker dressed. It's understandable to be frustrated on national TV when that's the case. I think that's what Dave all said.

And if you watched Bruce Brown's Twitter account last night, as I was riding alongside the Giants. Remember, I picked Bruce Brown and the points with the Giants. You know, why not here? I just watched what they did with the Cowboys. That was a lot of. They're 0 and 2, but, you know. Yeah, exactly.

You know, they kind of go another way, which everybody spins it in their fan base. Bruce tweeted immediately, not going to be able to win this game without kicker. No chance. What are we doing? No chance. Over before it starts.

Over during the defensive introductions. Unbelievable. I don't know what happened at Graham, but he was able to kick in his second half. He was up and hits the 25-yarder, and he's wailing in pain, and it's like, what is going on right now? We hope he's okay, though, obviously.

Shregs, yeah, we do. Yeah, you do, Shregs. You hope he's okay, and we... Great kicker. You hope he's okay. Yeah, you hope he gets healthy, and Shregg's, obviously, his first feeling was, man, I hope he gets healthy

for everything he's done for the, Giants. When we stunk, Graham Gano is really the only good player we had. That's right. For a while. But it'd be nice if this fucking guy could make it through a game. I didn't say that. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. All right. On the other side, go ahead, Con. Yeah, Shreggs, the Chiefs, not really a great showing for them either. Obviously, they won the game, get their first one of the year. But we were talking earlier about that schedule you mentioned. I'm now blanking on it

that has the murderers or the Giants. Dough. And the Chiefs also do not have an easy schedule coming up. They go Ravens, Jags, Lions, Raiders, commanders. A bunch of tough games. That's about three and five, maybe four and four, and in there, you know, Rishi Rice gets back. Are we relying

on Rishie Rice as people who have to watch the Chiefs to make them look good because it's looked awful and what's going on with Kelsey? Why is this connection that him and Mahomes have not going well? And then, of course, him and Andy Reed just kind of getting into a

not as big of a deal because they've done this before, but why doesn't it look good for Kansas City whatsoever? Yeah, they don't have the weapons right now. I think that's fair to say. I mean, Spaggs' defense showed up last night, and, you know, they did their job. But gosh, you're watching these long 15-play, 16-play drive, settling for field goals. That's not the chiefs we grew to know and really to appreciate as a team that's in prime time every single night.

Now, this is a squad that gets back to very important people. Rice and Xavier worthy, and you'd like to think, you know, Tyquan Thornton making those two catches and having the third that was ruled an incomplete, but it was an absolutely incredible attempt. They now have three options and Hollywood Brown, and you don't have to rely on Kelsey and Noah Gray so much underneath. But the offense isn't what it was, and I think the chiefs would tell you that. It's not ideal. I think what's interesting is they let DeAndre Hopkins walk. It's interesting because I think we knew they were going to have issues. They got Hopkins last year. He loved being a chief. They go the distance. And they

they didn't sign him back. He's now in Baltimore making incredible plays looking like the Hall of Famer that he might be. So I would say just hang tight, hold serve, and when you get worthy and rice back, let's judge the offense there. I mean, this is their best wide receiver. They lost to suspension a week before the season. And then they're 1A.

He goes down three plays into the NFL season. So hang tight there. I don't think a lot of teams would be able to look as good as they usually would without their top two receiving options on the field. What an incredible play here by Patrick Mahomes after a horrendous play. That was the second time you're throwing it backwards. But go ahead and making a tackle and stripping a ball at the same time on O'Caricay. It was a hell of a play there by Patrick Mahomes.

But I think the reason why we all wonder if they're going to be okay because it doesn't look good. Like last year it didn't look good for a long time they were winning. Now it's like, are they still winning? Are they still going to be able to win like that? And then bringing back their two weapons, I hope that's the case because I think the Chiefs is still the Chiefs until I see that the Chiefs isn't the Chiefs. Watch them last night, though, I thought to myself a lot of different times. It doesn't feel like the Chiefs, still the Chiefs, but I believe. Do you?

I believe. You pick the stinky giant. Cover. We're doing spreads. Don't be an amateur. Yeah. What is this Bush League? They would have covered with the kicker, Dee Butch, don't you forget about that?

Yeah, because Graham Ganoe hurt his groin, quad hip. Yeah, she's a good point. Russ, straight off 450, I guess. Russ threw the ball off the uprights. Fourth on, fourth quarter. last hope that's the guy's going down swinging did you see the first down throw

yes part of the first four down is this the first down the first throw into the tunnel was that's 20 probably from everybody that's playing on Friday right there

that's 20 from everybody that's playing normally you're throwing from the 20 you did it from the 15 just as good I think that's a no doubt or that that hit the crossbar

because every once in a while there is a little bit of a decision because did it hit the back part that's kind of going on did it hit the upright or did it hit the crossbar feels like that one did hit the underside and kind of skip under there.

Remember, you're throwing that to the crossbar. Remember, there's nobody going there, but that is where you're throwing it to. Fourth and goal. I'm sick of this Giants gimmick. What? I'm done with it. It sucks.

We've been watching poopy Giants' primetime football for what it feels like 10 years. It stinks. It should be the team and the Jets, I guess. They should play at 1 o'clock only. I get it. They have these massive markets. On Saturdays.

Yeah, on Saturdays. Saturdays. Boom. There's money involved and all that stuff. The Jets and Giants should not be allowed to play primetime football for the rest of time until something good happens for him. CW. Oh yeah, let's throw them on the C-dub. I love that.

The teams of the C-W, the big apple. And then we get big numbers because everybody in New York would watch. And then the rest of us have no idea where that is. Yeah, and then those teams can just slowly drift away. And you know what we do? We put them both on boats. And then they go to London. They become

the London teams. On CW. Yeah. And the NFL can tell CW, congrats. You're the international team's home base here in the United States of America. CW's pulling New Jersey,

New York, tri-state area in there. They're doing big numbers. And us. We don't have to watch. And guess what becomes the team of New York, baby, the real team of New York. Goodell.

The Buffalo Beas. Gdell, get on it. Okay, last question. We know you have to go to work. We apologize, Shreg. I like this. Shrek's. Early on, the Colts have kind of been the talk of the NFL.

Hey, this might be the best team in the league. They're going to win the Super Bowl. After yesterday, I think it's maybe safe to say the Texans may stink. It just is what it is, unfortunately. They may stink their own three. The Jags, on the other hand, I think we're still kind of curious about what they can do. Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence are these guys right for each other? Do they like each other?

Do they get along? Can he get Trevor to the next step? But early on here with them at two and one, do you think that the Jags could, you know, potentially go on a little run at the end of the year? And then on the flip side, do the Vikings, or I mean, do the Texans stink? Well, I would say neither C.J. Stroud nor Trevor Lawrence would have signed up for their first three weeks the way they have gone. Neither one has played well. The Brian Thomas, Trevor Lawrence connection doesn't look to be like it was last year.

And Travis Hunter is barely making an impact on either side of the ball because some weeks he's playing corner and a little bit of receiving. some weeks he's playing receiver in a little bit of a corner hasn't really looked like the value of a number two overall pick yet and that said they've got two wins the locker room scenes have been electric afterwards shot con has basically proclaimed love to liam cohen after two different wins forever and they're they're going for it like we're doing it so you look at the standing that's it Houston made a very interesting change over the off season now we know trading laramie tonsill was a head scratcher for those who are like well this game this team is a squad that went to the the divisional round two two years in a row why would you trade your best lineman but to get rid of bobby sloic who in hindsight now was with cj stroud as a rookie as his offensive coordinator was with stroud as a second year player got him to the division around that is a team that's like we're one step away we need to pull the rip court out and we're going to go and we're going to hire someone else now nick cayley is really respected around the league and is a very very like high i guess you'd say highly valued resource to a lot of people who have worked with him.

I'm not knocking him yet. I'm just saying this connection hasn't looked good. Nick Chubb is suddenly the number one back. And obviously you're wondering, well, Nick Chub hasn't been that guy in two years coming off major injuries. Can he do it? And Nico Collins played great, but where else are we getting offense from on this team?

So I would have serious concerns if I am the Houston Texans that the offense has just looked so inept through three weeks when last year they were knocking on the doorstep A couple times the last two seasons being in the final four of the AFC. Yeah, they're saying he's C.J. Strouch. What? Yeah, C.H. at the end instead of D.

Geez, like, grouch. They're saying C.J. Strow, no. They're saying C.J. Strover. It's only his third year. I think it's bullshit. Well, I think that's why I saw Michael Kid Gilchrist. I saw a lot of NBA memes with one year, good point. Hey, C.J. That's not fair.

Come on, CJ. Still in there. I believe in him. I believe in him. Good player. Oh, no, yeah. You know the lookalikes, sweet. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. The guy with the braids and the CJ jersey that needs to stop right now. Right now. That's not him. People are saying he's basically turned into, you know, a 45-year-old, you know, sack of shite. Imposter. Did you see the Bieber imposter over there in Vegas? Yeah.

That was all happened. People should have figured that one out. I don't know. I don't know. I think I was pretty good. I do. I think that we do know. Okay, so let's say you're with us. Okay, let's say we're doing a boy strip to Vegas.

Shreggs is there, wheel and Dylan. Yeah. We're having a good time. This thing pops up on the stage 2 a.m. You don't think we're thinking, Holy shit. It's him. Yeah, immediately.

I don't think anybody was questioning. I like my peaches out of Georgia. Yeah, let's go. Yes, you do. That is exactly what we're doing. Nobody said anything from the new album. That's crazy. Yeah, exactly.

I like that daisies. Okay, yeah, me too. That song's really good. What's it sound like? What's it sounding? You sing it? I'm not going to go there. Come on, dude.

No, you're kind of feeling it. It's not another words. Yeah, oh, you don't know the words. Okay, see, that's a problem. We all need to start learning a new stuff. Yep. Support Beeps through all of his different stages. Ain't that right, Foxy.

TikTok likes the new album. I know that for sure, but I don't know the album. Hey, Beams, keep doing it, dude. Baby Beeps. I like you out. All right, we appreciate the hell out of you shrags. Have fun tonight, buddy. Hey, I just want to say you were talking about the dive, dude.

Thank you for making sports fun. Thank you for being electric. Thank you for remembering this is supposed to be fun and happy. You bring joy, dude. We so appreciate it. You're the man. That's very kind of you to say. You do the same.

Ladies and gentlemen, Emmy Award winner. Beer Shrek. Yay! Great goals! I mean, that was... Sports are fun. Sports should be fun. You're right.

Yeah. What do we do this for? Yeah. Good times. Competition. Hell, yeah. You're kicking somebody's ass. That's right.

You know? Yeah. That's what we like doing. I also like everybody coming together. One cause. It felt like that down in Miami. Everybody was in the same direction. Everybody.

President, all the way down to a student just got on campus. Two friend of student from Maine who's on campus, who misses kick twice for $500 grand for the boys. Good kick. First one had a little thump. Second one, good thump, never had the trajectory. But I like the change that he made. Could tell he was an athlete.

Could tell he was athletic because he changed the trajectory a little bit for the second one. That's the first one. I thought he was going to bank that in. Yeah. As that thing was flying off the wall, I'm like, oh, fuck, I got a kid. That's literally all I'm thinking about the entire time. And then for him to hit the second one after the chain, the way he did, obviously gave a little bit of a thrill. But 500,000 for the boy, as soon as I heard this is for the whole, I'm like, our boys, got to do this.

I like what we're doing here for the boys. Angie let him down. So now he's going to get shit talked by the boys forever. So that is good, too, for the boys. So everything was a win-win there. Happy it happened. Very thankful for Miami. Miami gets huge win.

That caps off big storyline from the weekend, tone? Yeah, let's start down there where the game day was. Miami wins 26 to 7 and the defense and the run game was the story of the night. Hembo sent in the stats and you're seeing them right there. Florida was 0 for 13 on third down

for 14 total yards. Lagway had 12 completions which totaled minus 7 air yards. It was just the score was not as bad as it should have been. 26 7 is when it ended but it was closer than that on scoreboard for a lot of it. Miami just dominated in the trenches

all night long. It was a huge win for them. six to seven there. Feels like the U's back. Yes, it does. Feels like to use back. Athletes everywhere, the vibes, you know, everything about. The trenches are just, they just dominate. Michael Irving on the siren.

He didn't lie. Almost cranked. He said he was going to try to break that thing. He certainly did. And I think he did the exact movement in his video and he didn't have it. That's being able to something just happened. That's being able to put yourself in a situation. That's right.

The reason why the playmaker was so good is because he was able to visualize the games before they even happen. Big-time catches, the big-time plays we've seen. That's not the first time those have happened. They've happened in his brain because we saw him do this exact thing. In his office, it looks like, where he does all this shit. And he was able to get that in there. And it's alive down there in Coral Gables.

I love that Miami team. And Florida now has a lot of questions about what they're going to do going forward. Go ahead. Another team we love. Let's go from Florida up to Oklahoma, where they hosted Auburn. The final score here was 2417. A story of this one, kind of similar to the Oklahoma Mission game, is where it's John Mateer

and Mateer does enough and the offense does enough. And then that Oklahoma defense, they had nine sacks on Jackson Ardle. The Oklahoma D-line just feasted all day long and the Mateer makes enough plays with his arms and legs to get the 24-17 win and cover on this section.

Was that a hideout that first touchdown? Is that what we just saw it? Yes, that was the one that the SEC came out. Sneaky. Yeah, they put out the statement it should have been a 15-yard poundie, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Hey, it was touchdown on Saturday. It didn't come between. Do they have the same rule inside the numbers?

You got to check in and they go out? Yeah, you got to check in. That was the hideout, yeah. He tried to call a timeout, too, and they didn't give Auburn's coach the timeout. It was. Hugh Freeze. Not happy. God bless you, but I'm not happy.

He was pissed. I think Auburn should come away. I think Auburn's a good football team. Oklahoma has made more plays than that one. I said this on game day. I think Oklahoma best team in the country. Now, Oregon, we're going to find out. Penn State, we're about to find out.

There's a lot of big-time games that are coming around. Indiana might be the goddamn team this year. There's a whole team. Texas and it's not in Austin. Texas Tech, holy shit. They spent a lot of money. They're very good. That's one of the storylines of the weekend.

Some of those are on there, but first we've got to go to the Boston Bowl. Michigan came down to Nebraska. The final was 30 to 27. And we talked to Coach Ruhl this week, and the one thing that he was worried about was the rushing defense, and he should have been worried about that. Nebraska gave up 290 yards on the ground. Riola had pressure in his face all day long,

but Michigan wins 30 to 27. on the ground. I could have, I mean, a couple of these are some big gaping holes. AJ, Michigan running like that. Got a lot of games until the big one at the end. Are you worried about Michigan maybe finding its stride here? No, they definitely will find their stride.

I think their offense is awesome. How do you ever play any kind of match your man-in-man coverage when you have a quarterback like Underwood that's going to just tuck it and run anytime you turn your back on them? I would be worried about stopping this offense. That's three touchdowns untut. Oh, yes.

That is what the hell are we think? I can't wait to talk to Coach Rule. What was the... The Justice Haynes' first touchdown, the 75-yard one, was ridiculous. Okay, so Michigan might be for real. Will Pompton's bald, owes 50 grand to Michigan's NIL, and then also, I guess, he has succeeded the 1997 co-title to Michigan. He has...

I don't think the rest of Nebraska, probably not. But he said he will not consider himself a 1997 national champion anymore, which I knew that was tough for him to give up. It was tough for him to give up. He actually looks good, bald. Well, you don't look bad, brother. Especially with the new rig, you know, that you got done. You look good, Will.

Good battle out of the boys to bustling with the ball. I also appreciate the Michigan team with the trophy. Actually. Hey, that's so pretty. Yeah, I like that. That's good, AJ. That's good. Great.

Awesome, but they, yeah, that just came out of, like, their brains. And all of a sudden, it's a part of the both teams. Like, it's a legit, real thing. Ain't good for college ball. Mm-hmm. You know, the more trophies better. Yeah, my rival. Like the platypus.

out there. Oregon, Oregon State. That's right. You know, it's half duck, half beaver. It's a plattipus trophy. It's a big deal. We did seven minutes on that. Rightly so. On game day. I was bad. It wasn't eight. Me too. It shocked me.

First four minutes, I'm like, what's going on here? What is the deal? This is 190 degrees out here. What's going on? These people are going to die during this. And then I start paying attention. I'm like, yep, story does need to be told. And then Dan Lanning makes an appearance. And I'm like, Lanning's part of it.

Obviously, there's going to be an intention. If there's a trophy, I want to win. I'm like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. Then they put a picture of that thing up there, and it's like, platypush does deserve its own segment like this. And then the Troll Trophy, do you see that one? Oh, yeah. Troll Trophy, this thing is God-awful looking,

but I understand it's worth a lot. And the Boston Bowl trophy becoming a thing is good, obviously. Yeah, and you know what else is good? You know what people love when they spend money, and it works out? Texas Tech went into Utah, was a 10 a.m. local kick, which is, I'm sure everyone loved down there. And Texas Tech had two quarterbacks play. Barrett Morton is the starter,

Will Hammond came in when Baron Morton got hurt. They both looked awesome. The Texas Tech offense looked awesome. The defense looked awesome. Money well spent in Texas Tech for a 3410 win in Utah, which is not an easy place to play. So to be clear, a lot of Texas Tech people telling me, all you say is that we spent money. It's like, well, I'm just saying that you're a part of 2025 college football. That's what I'm saying.

We say everybody that is spending money spends money because it means that their institution, their boosters, their people all in. They are spending money, which we need to know. now if you spend money on the wrong guys doesn't matter right so we apologize to texas tech for i apologize for not immediately being like yelp texas tech is for real what they did to Utah in Utah Texas tech is for real

they able to go in there the mighty Utah student section 10 a.m. local and do that to them i'm impressed with them and it does feel like they spent the money on the right pieces yeah and the backup quarterback is a guy is what everybody said dude when will hammond came in as soon as he gets into the huddle there was juice it wasn't like

a oh shit moment the old line with pat him on the back. It was good vibes and he just started throwing seeds. I didn't know he could run and maybe that's because he's white and has red hair and he's from Texas. But he was moving on a couple of those. In those highlight films, there was one. He threw a dagger touchdown that was a back shoulder dart. I don't know how Texas Tech feels inside the locker room, but as a outsider, just kind of, hey, Texas Tech's fun to watch. They better start Will Hammond because he is so good. Yeah, he looked unbelievable. It was fun to watch their team. And congrats to them being Rio. Okay, last storyline of the weekend.

We should have been talking about Tone. Yes, and a lot of people were asking this question on the internet after the game. Who is this year's Indiana? Oh, maybe it's just Indiana again. Because they hosted Illinois this week. Illinois was a top 10 team, and they won 63 to 10. That block punt was by Diego Pons, who was all big 10. He's going to be drafted very high, very good.

And then Mendoza was 21 of 23 for five touchdowns. Sig had the boys rolling early. And often, it was in classic ass beating. Watch out, Indiana's back again because Sig's there still, and they are rolling. Tone, I think we talked about this beforehand. This is another one of those where I was surprised everybody picked Illinois during game day. I got a lot of picks wrong, but there's a couple that are made where I'm like, I didn't expect this to be this one way, strictly because I know everybody respects Beelma and what they're building in Illinois.

But like, Signetti, you can Google that shit. Like he does win. Mendoza, good quarterback. Yeah. Veteran quarterback. Been there, done that. And Indiana has become a little bit of an atmosphere. Yeah.

Okay? It's become a sold that fucking place out. It's like, I thought that was going to be a tough game for Illinois. Didn't expect that. A lot of people thought Indiana was going to have a bunch of turnover just because of all the transfers they brought in last year. No, those transfers were like two years players. They have a lot of guys coming back. So besides quarterback, basically the same team.

And that's the Signetti blueprint. Yeah. Hey, the Big Ten's got squads all of a sudden. We'll continue digitally. This is wrapping up. Read the onion. Rest in peace to AJ. Yep.

See you tomorrow. Overreacting. football great article that is a great article is there an art is there an art I just saw the screenshot there's an article yeah there's a right up oh no AJ maybe a Halloween

maybe they set me up for a good Halloween costume maybe they're thinking for you just know that we would know yeah yeah I would like that you know I had a good buddy Brad Jones who I play with in Green Bay very awesome teammate and we I used to ask him a lot me and Clay would say Brad in the offseason if you died like how many

weeks until somebody noticed and sometimes he'd say it might be two or three months until like the camp starts where they realize I'm not here so he just kind of lives out in the woods this guy or what would it well he's just a very unique kick now he's like super duper smart lives in manhattan outward but no one can ever you can ever get a hold of him he just does his own thing feeds to his own drummer as they say but he is the man yeah I love that love him love that you're not actually dead and love that the onion is actually hey that's a huge honor for us That's viewed on, bro. All right, let's take a break.

We'll make our picks on the other side. Oh, yeah. You feel like you got a good read on it? Yes. Really? AJ, you feel like you got a good read on it? It was a bad weekend for both of us. Oh, yeah, I don't know how many I got,

but, man, it felt like I didn't have anything. You were close to that. Oh, man, every game, like, oh, that had to be a loss for me. Yeah, me too, though. I didn't do great either, brother. It was a tough weekend. Seven games, brother, came down to it. So, I mean, that's the amount of swings for money that that could have went.

I mean, Rams Eagles. Exactly. Very end. Then you think about, yeah, Jordan Davis. You think about the blowouts, though, too. Like, the weekend was wild. The Packers getting beat, too. The Packers getting beat straight up, too, at seven and a half point favorites.

Insane. But there was blowouts out here. Look at this. Like, ass beating. That doesn't happen. No. Shutout, blowout division. That doesn't happen.

Six of them. If the NFL was told, hey, you're going to have six blowouts in one weekend. The NFL, and everybody would be like, no way. That's not the fucking NFL. The afternoon slate, because that St. Seahawks game was like 40-0 with like 11 minutes left in the second quarter. And it was just like, oh, shit, here we go. Like, there's nothing for that afternoon slate. And what the NFL is saying is, yeah, yeah, yeah, six blowouts, but also, boom, bang.

How about the thrillers, huh? We got seven of those. More on this one than the first one. Never forget, NFL's still king, Godlish. That is, that is literally what the NFL is saying. But it was a wild fucking weekend. You could have given up on games. could have given up on a couple games

because it was over but you would have never known because how many these became fucking games like let's say the Patriots 14 nothing Steelers early they looked like

Patriots were fucking no chance they come back make a massive play Green Bay Packers 10 zip long time like two minutes left

in the game they had that entire thing the L.A. Rams are up 26 to 7 yeah 26 on airs could have gave that could have gave up on that game

and it was like so much of a There's a lot of fucking... I mean, last week, and it happens everywhere, but last week the Falcons are the best defense and they were going to be unbelievable. And then they just got 30 on them. We don't know shit.

Yeah. About fuck. It's about here. Not yet. But tonight, we're going to get it right. Hell yeah. Good for us. Come on, boys.

All right, we'll make our picks on the other side. Four and a half point favorites are the Baltimore Ravens at home. Over under 53 and a half. It's a lot of points, man. A lot of points. They think electric. Fireworks. This might be like the,

Goof Rams versus Mahomes. I hope so. Need that after last night. Yeah, because we were kind of punished last night. Last night, fucking sucked, man.

The New York teams, man. We watch a fourth down in a fourth quarter go off the fucking crossbar. Can't fucking have it, man. Not primetime, man. What about the fucking first down?

Yeah, fourth down, okay, but fucking first down? What happened on first? He threw, fucking Russell, threw the ball into the... God! darn fucking tunnel hit a guy in a fucking scatter boom jersey i did see that the boys were back they did the gospel boys were back yep they might just need to roll them out onto the actual football field

actually funny enough uh Costco boys don't help that big justice uh excuse me a j went back to his old high school led the boys out on the field and they lost my 40 no yeah he said tonight we give them Five big boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, let's go. He ran them out and they lost by 40. No, that's not real. That feels like misinformation. 49, 14, sorry, 42. There's no way they get five big booms and then lose, okay, from what I've seen.

That ain't how that thing works. All right, fine, I don't know what the score was. There's incoming, I just, Tone just spoke to all of us, I believe, and said there's something coming. into the group text. I assume this is potentially the five big booms. No, it was the first down play. Okay, first down for muscle. Okay, this is throwing it into the tunnel. Just drilling a kid. Fourth quarter.

Yeah. Need it to go quick here. Got it. Need two scores. Let's score some points. Do we have it? I believe this was grounding. It was. Fuck it. Into the tunnel. Smart play. You can't take a sack there.

Second and ten. Grounding. On first and first and fourth down, he wasn't going to get picked. How about Flacco throwing that pick when they could have kicked like a 62-yarder? Yeah. And instead, Blacko rolled to his left and then just throw the pick, basically, and make sure they get the

bolt down there. Pretty heavy play by Joe Flacko. McKinney was getting shit for not bad. Guys, knocked that down. No, I know real time. That's why the fuck did he? But he hasn't got one yet this year. So I get it. They're going to give incentives on picks. You got to do what you got to do, I guess. Because they're looking out for it.

And then how about, yeah, Golden. I still don't know what happened here I've been trying to not think about it That's a fucking 95-yard touchdown DeButch, what's see? I mean, you think momentum Or just not, but I think it's more Just not really being aware

I think he thought he was like two yards closer To the sideline than he actually was He even could have stopped And just like got on a straight path again And then ran and he still would score a touchdown Like those two little short steps That makes me think he was trying to make where he got his feet, you know, in balance.

Oh, yeah, yeah. So he didn't know he was... One, two, three, four, five. He thought he was out there. Three, four, five, he thought he was already out. And you asked, like, were our guys killing him for this? At that time in the game, third and seven, he picks that up. They're up 10, nothing.

The team was pumped. It's like, oh, here we fucking go. They're going to march down and score 17-0. They've played like shite, but they're going to put this one away. And, of course, that didn't happen. So I see that on quad box, don't have sound. So I'm watching that. And I see him running.

out of balance and I immediately text hey what the fuck was this because I only saw it in quad box so also small don't have sound sure like are they just trying to pick up 50 yards real quick and then like four minute offense this thing like what's going on and then in the moment no everybody's

just kind of like no we're just playing football here but I guess hey it's a learning moment rookie mistake yeah rookie mistake you know you got look it is a difference it is an adjustment and it might be funny to some people but like the hashes and the numbers like those are very different so you line you run that slot fade

being aware, you know, sometimes you'll see guys get a pick and just get up and celebrate instead of get it up and run. Those are things you've got to learn. Huge bite still. Huge. Huge play.

Need more of that from him. But it could have been a game break. Yeah, but rookie mistakes are about that. And that's not on him. You are shitting your pants at the draft whenever they drafted this guy. No, I think he's great. The big reason they lost yesterday

is because they played not to lose and Lafleur got so fucking conservative. They couldn't run the ball at all. I don't think anyone can't. I mean, we just saw it. Derek Henry got, you know, he had 22 yards last week, kind of the same with Jacobs. And when they got the ball back, when they were up 10-0, they marched down the field in maybe four plays and we're in field goal range.

Three consecutive runs, lose two yards, and then have to settle for the field goal. It gets blocked. 16 seconds, no timeouts. They give up two plays. Joe Flacco still got it gets the boys of line scrimmage, kills the ball with a second left. Yeah, it was unbelievable that they had this much time. Look at Flacco say, Come on, boys, we've got to fucking spike this thing.

Let's go, sco, go, go, go. Hold your water. Go, go, go, go. Hold your water is right. Boom, we got it. All right. And then this kid, nails. It kind of got cheated, actually.

55. Yeah. What a kick in Cleveland. Yeah. Yeah, like, it's nothing, AJ. He hit a, I think there was a 51 yard or earlier maybe. It hit the net, like, really high. I'm like, these guys are fucking murdering footballs right now.

I mean, absolutely murdering both. That was a funny take to Triggerhead. We've got guys hitting 64-yarders like their chip shots. Our guy can't even, we can't even kick in the warms. It's like it's... I like 2.5 on a kicker, too. It's clean.

But I already at the point where we need emergency kickers. And I feel like we don't even have 32 good ones now, but like how we have the emergency quarterbacks. It's like, you should never, NFL game, you shouldn't be in a picture.

You don't have a kicker. That looked like shit. That's on Gano. It's bad for the product. What's that like? What did he hurt? Did anyone see it? There's no film of him?

Was he in a grom of? Yeah, it was the same injury as last year he went down in warm-ups. What's he doing in warm-ups? The real mistake is Joe Shane. Ganoe is making $5.6 million this year, and the best ability is availability, and he doesn't have it. Okay, all right. So whenever you think about being 38 years old, Graham Ganoe,

he got drafted same class as me. He was really good punter coming out of college. They thought he was going to be a punter, probably, a lot of people. And he became a kicker. A lot of people thought I was going to be a kicker, came a punter. So I've always been massive fan of Graham Ginell. Not a long time. Very

full of faith, very faith driven man. Good moxie, though. And talk shit. And I always had a huge fucking leg. Like a huge leg. The guy used to just murder balls. Obviously, it comes from the soccer background and everything like that. I don't know how he's still doing. With how hard he kicks the ball. I don't know

how his muscle. I mean, what I do? I had a free kick. And I fucking... That was two years ago. I was 36 years old. I was, I just blew my entire hip flexer out whenever I kicked a free kick. I don't know how many times he's kicking a week or a day. I don't know if he's on a kick count. I don't know all that shit. But it's like watching Vinny maintain his leg. Crazy. It was like a five hour thing every day. Five hours of like working it just for practice. Just for 12 kicks in practice. We're starting that thing at fucking like

6 a.m. all the way through just for practice. And if any missed one kick, it was like fucking we lost the Super Bowl. So it was watching him maintain his shit. Because kicking you have to be very explosive because it has to get up. You know, like punning, you've got to be very strong because everything is go. But kicking, like, the difference between the, like, for instance, somebody looks like there may be a ringer when it comes to kicking, you know, we might, uh, there might be a little bit of,

oh, let's see what a kick is really like. And that's a fucking Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter. Got to get up right now. Right now. So do that, you have to be very explosive. Like, that takes a lot of explosion to get the ball up very quick. You have to have a very strong leg, has to be very explosive. That's why some of the little guys, you wonder if they're going to be able to do it

or maintain it because the amount of, like, torque that they have to put on to be able to do that kind of hurts their entire body. So the fact that Graham Gino can still do what he does, I'm very impressed by. But like Thomas Morsted, too, is punting the same age as me. I'm like, I know how I feel, bro. I don't know how to fuck you, mother man. Prater. Exactly.

Yeah, I don't know how the fuck they're doing it. Shane did it until he was 40 or whatever. because you're using, I mean, it is a very violent motion to do all these things. But good on you. Good luck, Graham, get healthy. But boy, Giants fans and those who picked you, we're not excited to hear that we were not able to kick a ball. First drive. First drive.

That was hilarious. Right after it's like, yeah, he's not going to be able to kick the end. And then boom, extra point gets blocked instantly after that first touchdown. It's just like, oh, man, I know what Bruce is going through. Good luck against the Chief. Yeah, good luck. You won't need a kicker. No big deal.

Speaking of kicking, there's been some good kickoff guys that have started to weaponize the landing zone. Here's old buddy from L.A., I do believe, hitting this knuckle ball, Cardi, who, great kicker. That's his squib right there. A little bit of a knuckle, a little bit of a twist, and then that thing hits the ground in his hell, if you're able to hit that ball,

like if your leg strength is at a place where you can just hit your knuckle and it'll land in the landing zone, boy you're in a good spot right now but I think there's some kickers that are scared to hit because you're hitting really fat on that ball which is the exact what are you doing what are you doing to kick a knuckleball you're going right through the middle of that fucking thing bang going right through it so the entire thing just kind of implodes and then you want it to come off your like a knuckleball once come out of a hand like you want that thing to come out just uncomfortable and then whatever it does with the wind is good yeah here's had a little bit

twist mine used to fucking I used to have a pretty good little squib because I hit it as hard as I fucking could, but you're hitting the ball bad. Like, it's a bad place to hit the ball. It's not the sweet spot. It's a bit fat. It doesn't look good. So, like, a lot of these kickers that are hitting kickoffs now are taking their field goal steps so that they can just hit it to, like, the one or the five.

I'm thinking there's some guys that don't want to take their field goal steps and fucking hit a shitty ball. But I think that is the right kick for this turn of kickoff. So I think punters should be working on hitting squibs because you don't have to have perfect technique. You're just trying to go through the middle of that fucking ball. AJ, just trying to go right through the middle. The risk is what? You yank it out of bounds if you hit it bad, or what happens if you hit it back?

Then it goes to the 40, but if you hit a touchback, it's going to the 35 anyway. Exactly. But I'm saying when you're with a squib, though, what, what's a bad miss with the squid? What do you do when you miss? So a miss, I don't know. I think everybody has anywhere. My miss normally would hit the ground early. So that would be considered out of bounds, which would go to the 40, which would be a nightmare.

Some guys, though, fucking he, you know, or even. Well, that's kind of the thing with that, like, knuckleball, right? You can't really control it. You don't really know where it's good. I mean, it's the same thing, like, with a pitcher throwing a knuckleball as you're letting the air kind of just do whatever it does with it. Yeah, let the atmosphere decide. I'm just going to go ahead and give this thing to the Lord's here.

And you guys figure out what it's going to be. That's basically my squibb. What a weapon, though. Think of the returners like the week leading up to it, how much you're working on those knuckle balls. And then in the game, like, oh, man, if he hits the first one good, you're sitting there and thinking, like, yeah, you don't have a whole lot of time to figure that out. You're playing like a goalie back there almost, like just hoping that you got a...

That's what they were doing. I watched every kickoff because I was mesmerized by it. And he had four field goals and obviously touchdowns and kickoffs. So I think there was like six or seven kickoffs. Eagles returners were in hell. They didn't pick one up clean. Like their average start was like the 15 yard line because they were, they had no idea what to do with it. It was awesome.

Yeah. I think you're going to see more and more of that shit. I think punters should get good at that. So the kickers don't have to hit fat balls. But some of the kickers are like the greatest ball strikers on earth. So it's like, I can hit a little fat. You want me to make this fucker dance? I can fucking make a dance for you.

Let me hit this thing short and get it at the 40 and then we're fucked. Because that's a weapon. Weapon. Big time. But there's going to come a time where somebody tries to do it and they're going to get the ball to 40 and it's going to be two plays. Right down and score. Yeah, they're going to be like,

fucking kicker out of the bag. Yeah, exactly. That's kicker's life basically. But Cardi keep going, brother. Hell yeah, go. This isn't just another E. ESPN fantasy football season, it's your shot at greatness. With a refreshed design, the ESPN fantasy app is sharper than ever,

The toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the Hammer. Don. Cowboys AP Town, who's also a published author of college football. That's right. Way to go. We've got an author up here. Let me ever go says to set credit.

Nine-year NFL vet, host of everything, DB, good, D, bad D, and also NFL matchup show, which you can watch or stream anytime with the ESPN Super Duper app. Ladies and gentlemen, Darrys J. Ball. Hey, Debuts. Dee Butch, you know, this Monday is glorious because it's a Monday in football season, which means we get a chance to kind of test the waters of how every fan does feels. Yeah. People are feeling really good or people feeling really terrible at this point?

Oh, yeah. Three games in, you think any of these people know what their teams actually are? Yes. So you think some of these aren't going to actually be overreactions? Maybe they're just proper reactions to the situation? I'll say 80, 20. All right, well, let's judge it. Overreactions.

You think 80 to 20 overreactions? 80% overreactions, but 20% would be spot on. All right, let's judge them for ourselves. Tie one through all of the tweets that had. Hashtag I don't want to overreact, but. Picked out his favorites. Let's go ahead and see and gauge how these NFL fans feel after their week three performance. Oh, from the Miz.

Good. Just to lead this one off. Didn't use the hashtag. Actually sent this yesterday immediately after the 55-yard field goal went through the uprights. I don't want to overreact, but Packers didn't just lose. They got adopted. Welcome to the family. because the Browns are your

daddy now. Someone sent Ty Schmidt a therapy dog from the dog pound. Hashtag, here we go Bronnies, here we go. Hashtag Overreaction Monday at Pat McAfee Show. He was close. He was in the ballpark but he's certainly excited about that Brownie's win over the Packers. How do you feel

about the MIS being able to kind of do this to you for the next year or so whenever the next time you guys play anytime you see him? I'm okay with it because if I'm not a mistake, hasn't the Miz lost like 500 matches in a row for WVE? So He's kind of just losing and losing and losing and losing and losing and losing. And I love the Miz.

So I'm okay with him maybe grabbing one of these, you know, Ws here in September. In a few weeks, I'm going to get over this one. Actually, you know what, I'll be over this one, you know, 25 minutes from now. The Miz is going to cherish this the rest of the year and I'm okay with that. We have some breaking news from Adam Schaefter's Twitter account. 49ers Pro Bowl defensive end, Nick Bosa, has suffered a season ending. We're in ACL. Throwing a win over Arizona.

It's a clean tear, but Bosa now will need season-ending injury. Damn. Jeez. We saw him put his thumbs down whenever he was walking off the field. Feels like he knew what was going on. It felt like there was some optimism that he didn't tear his A.C. Sheffty said that this morning. Felt like there was some, and now obviously terrible news.

That sucks, dude. I don't like that at all. Godspeed, obviously, on the surgery and recovery, AJ. But we miss out on Nick Bosa playing football. this year. And obviously the Niners miss out on Bosa being on the field. What are your thoughts here as we learn that it's season over for Nick Bosa? Yeah, a huge blow to Bosa, obviously, into the team that we know how great the guy is. When he did the thumbs down, he looked, you see him, he looks up in the crowd, he kind of like with the son, he sees, I'm assuming family or somebody he knows

and gives him the thumbs down. I'm like, you know, we know the Bosa's like they've, look at what they look like. They know exactly. They're no body better than anybody. I'm sure he knew this is not right. I've never had this feeling before. I don't, I assume he has not torn an ACL before, but man, what a brutal situation. Debo, what does this mean for the Niners? Obviously, this sucks for all parties, but I don't like that we're not going to get to see

Bosa all year. Just talking about this more and how awesome it is, the Niners defense is like, he won them week one. Yeah, and obviously we feel terrible for him, and we hope, Godspeed, but for us, his football fan sucks. He's not there. For Niners, what are your thoughts? Yeah, I think Trent Williams after the game talked about how during that stretch he

couldn't help but not, you know, think about them. And it is, you know, we say it, next man up. And that's just what it has to be in the NFL season because injuries are guaranteed, but it just sucks for it. This team in particular, it's like they just can never get all their guys on the field the same time for long stretch of time. And this is an absolute game record. This is a guy where you talk about fourth-down, fourth quarter pass rush,

you can only send four when you got a guy like 97 off the edge. This absolutely sucks for him. And we get that test, you know, that test that the trainers do, where they can kind of check the stability of the ACL. You kind of know a lot of times you hope for the best, but you know him. I'm sure he knew walking off the field that, you know, this was the end of his season, unfortunately.

Yeah, now you could have never predicted it, but a massive drafting a guy, you know, in the top 15 to be a pass rusher, just because, I mean, aside from Bosa, they might be in complete hell if it wasn't for Michael Williams, and I think he got his first or second sack of his career against Cardinals, too. He's playing well. Godspeed over there, Bosa. We will miss you.

All right, let's go to our next overreaction, shall? This is from Boston Connor. Now, looking at the picture, you think to yourself, this is a distinguished gentleman. Yeah. Is that a tuxedo that guy's wearing? It looks like that. Yeah, you would think that.

You think there's cheeks on those tuxedo pants if he's wearing the pants with that, or you think maybe he's wearing shorts with a tuxedo top. You don't really know. Kind of an ominous feature here. And then you look at the face, and it's like, wow, this guy's called a moxie. Then you think to yourself, what the fuck does he have to say?

Well, hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but the Patriots are going to be very very much. Very good at football, but it's going to take some time. Let the young pups play some football, and let's have a real shot at this thing next year. Connor, what do you mean by that, pal? I mean, it's just asinine. We're looking around the league, and there are certain situations where rookies are making massive contributions. Golden, we saw for the Packers, he was huge.

On the other side of the ball, the Browns, they're using Harold Fanon Jr., and Quinshaw Jenkins, and they're basically their team, and the Browns are one of those teams that's not playing for a Super Bowl this year. The Patriots, you know, we drafted a running back in the top of the second round, Trevionanderson, and he's unbelievable by all accounts. They actually the guy who scored last night for the Chiefs, Taekwon Thornton, you want to know why?

He's not on the Patriots anymore. He's not on the Patriots anymore because we cut him because he had to make room for Efton Chisholm. Another rookie doesn't play. Trevion Henderson doesn't play. Kyle Williams drafted in the third round. He got one snap yesterday. I had a catch for a first down. Doesn't play. Personally, it's very frustrating.

You wanted to buy in before the weekend. You know, Patriots beat the Steelers. Then they got Panthers Saints. We're staring down five in one. There's a chance we kind of go, four in one, whatever the hell it is. And then the game was just a big reminder. Oh, okay, no. We're just very young.

We're the lions before they became the brand new lions at nine and eight have to, you know, get good this year and then hopefully build on it. The only way to do that is to play the young guys. I'm fucking sick and tired of these old fuckers doing this. this shit. I'm done with it. I don't care. Ramandres Stevenson was awesome. Basically won the game last week. You fumble the ball twice this week. No one gives a fuck about what you did last week. And just across

the board. That doesn't count because Drake May got his head spiked off the ground right before it. And he didn't know where he was. And that was about to be a fumble probably on the goal line right there as well. I mean, they gave up 14 points. Like two turnovers in end zone. That's tough. Right there. That's brutal. Opening dry.

Opening dry for Mondreyssen fumbles on first down. No, but I'm saying the ones in the end zone yeah the the worst the amount of work it takes to get all the way down the the amount of first downs the amount of shit that goes into you getting there yeah to do that even be in position to score and then it just fucking give it away is like worst demoralizing situation for whole team whole team is like oh no that's potentially 14 point swing every single time you guys get leave 14 points on the board basically against the Pittsburgh Steelers who are going all in this year so if i'm a patriots fan it's a

like, we fucked this one up. Yes. We certainly did. And there was also, what, five turnovers in total? Five total. That's a lot of turnover. I believe seven? Yes. I think four of them were on the Steelers side of the fields. After the first quarter, the Patriots out game, the Steelers,

396 to 101, still lost. That drive, where Remandre fumbled on the goal line, that's what changed the game. That was a 96-yard drive. I believe it was nine minutes long. Zero points. Excuse me. The interception at end of the first half. It was a 96-yard drive. It kept the Steelers' offense off the field

for like an hour of real time, not just football time. And then the Steelers couldn't do anything on offense. It just sucks. But luckily for me, I actually had Jose Cuervo's Devil Reserve with me yesterday. Wow. It's a sweet, tropical, spicy, infused tequila that's smooth and devilishly good, especially after your team gets blown out or completely shits the game away. When mischief is on the Man, you devil's reserve is the perfect choice. Listen to that little devil on your shoulder. Pour around his shots and get ready to raise a little

hail. Even though it says get ready to raise a little hill, Bruce. Find devil's reserve at your local liquor store or go to quervo.com to purchase your own bottle of mischief. But remember, you must be 21 years old

or over. Again, Bruce, that's what that's okay. And please change responsibly. This reminds you. the old office you remember it feels like yeah yeah yeah it's there a little nostalgia yeah it'd meet you halfway through and it really i think deep butt's actually trying to run that QR code right now to see if he can maybe raise a little hill you should you might be able to lift an entire hill if you do a little sweet chunk what works what does it get what's it take you to let me guess what's that square

oh yeah boom that little morgue yeah scan to grab your bottle with devil's reserve right over here with the devil's thing. We didn't even plan it. And what's that? We didn't even freaking plan that, man. All that? We did raise a little hill. I play it.

I'm playing my flubs, but aside from that. You're so good. I was just planning my flubs. You know how it goes. Well, that's a devil's reserve football. Let's go to the next ever reaction. This one's from Bruce Brown.

Noted devil's reserve ad writer. Hashtack, I don't want to overreact, but if Russell Wilson attempts one more pass for this incontreact, competent, pathetic, hapless, embarrassing disgrace of a broken football organization. Everybody has to be held accountable. Okay, feels like you really summed it up there about everything happening in New York. Anything further, you have to say, Bruce, about the situation?

I mean, it's fucking contagious. I can't even write an ad read anymore. I've written probably 2,000 of them, and now I'm fucking those up. It's just an absolute joke. It's September 22nd. You know, we're probably cleaning house and just looking at the Mara nepotism ladder where Tim McConnell gets promoted from director of player personnel up to to GM. Completely

pathetic. It's just an absolute embarrassment to the tri-state area that this is the product that we've been putting out for the last fucking 13 years. I mean, we can probably stop choosing these and just stop talking about them completely after this. So that's on

the bright side, I guess. Need dart. Maybe James would be fun, you know, some pick sixes to lighten the mood a bit. But it's embarrassing. We got Abdul Carter playing middle linebackers because we don't have enough depth there. it's just a joke man Abdul Carter's playing off the ball I like that

yeah he's playing Mike that makes sense what the Cowboys did with Michael when he came in and they were like two weeks right was that two weeks yeah well when we put him on the line did I there was a stat on the broadcast last night I think it was like 10 of the last 12 seasons they've started

0 and 2 is that 10 of 13 yeah that's that's what he said the last 13 fucking years yeah it was 10 of 13 10 of 13 they've started oh and 2 I know but that's probably what reminded him of this being 13 years of this the oh and 2 in three starts. I mean,

it sounds like Debo and Shane they're pretty comfortable, right? I asked Shefter three times. Yeah. I was like, hey,

these guys aren't they kind of thinking about right now, though, because they're not worried about the future because New York Giants are certainly non-ind undesirable.

And it's like, what is the deal with them right now? I do wonder what the future looks like. Because if you're going to get fired, are you going to put the rookie in there? I don't know. And if they go to show hope,

yeah, you've got to show hope. Hey, you've got to show hope put the rookie and show that, hey, we have hope for next year. Scadaboo is a cult hero already. We know that.

Jackson Dart is becoming that. Let's see if he can continue that if he gets thrust into the lineup and he's the actual starter. I like that. Yeah, because you don't want to change offenses if your rookie quarterback looks really good this year. Yeah. You got what you want to keep the same offense. If they go one and six and then end up going four and 13,

but Jackson Dart wins three games and then they close three and seven or three and eight, is that good enough if Jackson Dart looks? good for the New York fans to bring back a coach who goes 4 and 13? I mean, if we keep up the general level of ineptitude, it's, hey, thanks for the cute quarterback. Fuck off. Goodbye.

If we start playing, you know, all three phases, putting it together. You know, we're right there. It's really close. It's just not good. Fucking table every week. Maybe they'll stay. Who fucking knows? It doesn't matter. Because John Marl will be there. So whatever. He's the only one that didn't want to get rid

a sink one. They'll put that on it. I think what Bruce would say is yeah but the way he hires within his family and within his he doesn't want the best for the team going forward he did he lost some sleep on sick one but he slept just fine knowing that his

fucking family's going to run this team into the ground this is what Bruce is about yeah yeah it is kind of weird because like obviously we saw hard knocks where we go behind the scenes but you don't really know how much John Mara's actually meddling in and you know I've been to two parades like I shouldn't be in a position where I'm like hey sell the team

but here we are. Yeah, and Eli, though, last night. Oh, he was slinging. Filthy. Yeah, he was. Let me hit mine. Oh, that's a kind of fun little side shot, a little tighter hole over there.

Boom, let me go ahead and spin that. This guy stinks over here. I'll make one for you. All right, how about you over here? Let me go back here. I'm not going to miss that. Then the fan tries to do it, bud. What are you doing?

Just try to make it in your own there, like what you're doing. Eli's spinning it like that. And then Giants fans see that. And then Russell goes out there and puts one in the tunnel. He's what it used to be. why they have an Eli out here.

He also hosts a show, right, for Giants.com? Yes. That's correct. The Eli Manning Show. So you guys are forced to watch the good times. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Every day.

Eli, competent quarterback. John O'Hare, got good leadership out there. Tom Coughlin. We're doing Coughlin time. We're winning this entire thing. And then he guys roll out there and you get the chance to watch this New York Giants team. And that would be tough.

Did you hear them? And they're pretty dramatic group over there too, I think. Yeah, certainly. It gets worse than that, too, because if you really think about it, they had six years to pay guys to block for Daniel Jones, and he'd be a Hall of Famer. And they decided not to do that. They're never in the trenches with AQ Shipley in a good way. Oh, let's go to the next overreaction, AJ. This is from Danny Dimes equals franchise Viagra.

Amen. Let them. Okay. Hashtag I don't want to overreact. But thank you, Brian Dable. since that big dump dipshit couldn't figure out how to unlock the most talented person to ever play the quarterback position

Colts kid the Super Bowl. First Sequin now dime, somebody put Mara on suicide watch. I'm worried for the guy. I do wonder what it's like for Mara to watch Danny just do what he's doing right now. Only team in history to have no turnovers and win this amount. Only team in history only have one punt through the first three

weeks. So not only is it like we're not punting it's like we're not turning it over. We just score all the time. Danny Dimes just scores all the time. I think it's like 70% of the scoring drives or 80% of scoring drives or something like that. I forget what it is. It's absolutely insanity and Danny Dimes is the

maestro of it all. Yeah. And Danny Dimes is the new piece that's just been dropped in there. Alongside Tyler Warren, who is filthy as a football player. The Colts are in a great spot and I do assume that Mara is having a couple of whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, did we know he was able to, was he also

what could he do to? Why weren't we? And now we're thinking over here in Indy, thank you for burying this guy under hell basically where he was for a long time media everything just getting attacked

this dude's gotten so callous that he's just so locked in nothing can really bother him and he's seen every defense he's just very comfortable in front of everything and Shane Steichen offense very complicated I think there's a lot of shit going on in there you're seeing him get to his

third read a couple different times you're seeing them shift and pick up blitzies and dude and that shit it's like they weren't able to do that obviously Shane Steakin wasn't able to do that for a while because we had a new quarterback, new quarterback, new quarterback that's never played football and he's never seen any of it. And then boom, now we got Danny Dimes. Shane Stuyken's sleeping a lot better too.

Shane Stuyken's taking dayball greatly for everything that's going on right now. Well, for Mara, it's not, I mean, the winning and everything and the Sequant stuff, sure. But like all these stats that we're seeing come on, it's like, hey, guess what? Peyton Manning never did this with the Colts. Peyton Manning isn't even as good with the Colts as Danny Dimes is right now. So it's that extra little knife in his back. like, hey, not only did you get rid of Daniel Jones, who's very good, you may have gotten rid of the next coming of Peyton Manning as well.

So here's just a nice little reminder for that every time you open up your phone. All the ownership is looking, I wish I could get Peyton, Maine. Yeah. They're like, Mara, actually. We need a Dan Jones. AJ, your thoughts on if a player can have this. I mean, we saw a Baker, I guess is what people would say. We see it with Sam Darnold.

Seattle might be, you know. You never know. We'll be seen it with Mac right now. Could be seen it with Mac Jones. Francisco, what's next for him? We shall see. You know, it's like Carson Wentz right now, we'll get O'C. Gino, of course. Gino Smith, now full-time guy, face of the franchise.

It's like, is this another one of those situations? It sure looks like it. I mean, he's definitely proven you right, I think, Daniel Jones, and the team, but it just shows you, like, the quarterback position, especially in the NFL, like, you rely so much on, A, whoever that offensive play caller is, your offensive line, and then your weapons around you and you have a run game, like, you're just relying on so many things around you. Daniel Jones definitely has all those pieces in place around him,

and the dude's absolutely taking advantage of his opportunity. The fact that if he was just a game manager and hadn't turned the ball over, they may still be 3-0 and still be playing well, but he's not turned the ball over and pushing the ball downfield, making big plays, putting the balls in windows that like he normally hasn't done in the past. So he and Stuyken, they got something figured out, man, and credit to this O-line because they look good too. Well, and what sucks even more just on the opposite end of that spectrum,

or maybe there's an overreaction in here is like how far, off some people can seemingly fall. Like, C.J. Stroud, after his first year, was going to be the one. And he set all those records. And now, the Texans, I saw people, and I don't agree with this whatsoever. But I saw

Texas fans on the internet with real names and check marks calling for Domingo Ryan's head. No! I saw. Week 3 of the NFL season, though. The stats say, if you stink early, you're going to stink late. People are saying numbers and everything that has happened in the history

the NFL are telling us, this team sucks. You need an offensive line. Need a good offensive line. Need a good play caller. Let's go to the next overreaction here. Hashtag I don't want to overreact. But, says Lotto. I'm sick and tired of Paizano Patullo's conservative playcalling.

You can tell Siriani, tied him up at halftime in a cuck chair and said, let the big dogs eat. Jalen is keeping the main thing. The main thing, Giants and Cowboys still suck ass. Go birds. Now, is there anything else you think that he wanted to say that maybe didn't make the tweet? Or why did you pick this one and particular? For me, at the start, it was the Alex Jones avatar with the Philly

ball cap on top of his head. I laughed pretty good when I saw that, so I said, why not? But most of them still, like, no, it's the same deal with the Syriani. Like, there are a couple different versions of this, but everyone still thinks this offensive coordinator sucks. I mean, after a day like yesterday, when they're getting beat as bad as they are, and you just, you chalk that up to a loss. Like, hey, there's no way we're going to win this game and kind of everything we've talked about. Then finally he opens up the playbook and Jalen Hertz looks amazing. He starts throwing the ball downfield.

They're scoring touchdowns. They win that game and still afterwards, all people care about is this offensive coordinator fucking sucks. First half, he was calling place. Second half, that was clearly somebody else. That's what they just said in this tweet basically. Yeah, exactly. And to be clear, I don't like that it did appear

as if he didn't trust Jalen really. This guy's won a Super Bowl, bro. This guy's done more than you have done with football. So, like, other people, you know, thinking that Jalen maybe isn't able to do all the things with their arm, with his arm that maybe the greatest throwers of all time can do is a thought that a lot of analysts had, impundits had. And I assume even some Philadelphia Eagles fans had last year, it's like the offensive coordinator can't be a guy that thinks that. Like the offense coordinator has to be a guy

that's like, my guy can make every fucking throw, you know? So it's like if the play calling was because it's like we got good offense line, we got Sequin, we don't know if we got this. It's like you fucking do no dude dagger in the Super Bowl biggest moment he calls it he drops it in a bucket other quarterbacks that can't do it miss that throw yep i like that they let jalen eat a little yeah we saw it in the super bowl we saw it in the first Super Bowl when he was matched up against mahomes where he outplayed him and had pretty much an MVP that year and even his last year in college when he was in oklahoma he threw the ball around the yard a ton so you know he can throw the ball some of his uh on jalen as well because he doesn't take those type of risk just knowing his team

knowing his defense, knowing the run game. Sequin, you know, absolutely killed the Rams last year and their matchups went for big, big gains on the ground. So I understand it. And sometimes you just have to do it. Once you got behind 26 to 7 and you kind of let that thing fly because you have big-time playmakers, one of the best wide receiver duos on the outside and let them actually throw the ball down the field.

I just love that he actually did it. And now we'll see if they continue to do it. But it's kind of been a cycle with Eagles coordinators. You have Shane Steichen. he goes off being head coach Brian Johnson came in believe he got fired pretty quickly Kellan Moore he came in he was good

went on to become a head coach so now we may be on that cycle with what is it, Petulow we'll see if he continues to stink or if he gets better. I love Kellan Moore. Kelly Moe. Love Kelly Moe. Boise State love Kelly Moe.

I seen Kelly Moe when he was with the Lions I don't know if he was coaching or playing it was somewhere pretty deep in his career 15 yard line cross bar 20 yard line crossbar 25 yard line crossbar

I was so fucking impressed this is this is pre pre pre warm up I'm out there putting some balls they're out there just kind of dicking around throwing a ball and my God and every ball was just so pretty you know it was just like so I want to say I have respect for Kelly Moe he needs to not dress the way he's dressing as a head coach

he needs to start looking like an adult okay He looks like a 12-year-old. He naturally looks like a suit or what? Just something. Maybe. Suit would be shit. Who do you like head coach and swag?

I like the... Liam Colet. I like Liam sleeveless with the long. I like that. Talked about Rahim Morris. I think the hats suck this year. They do. Those small ones?

The tiny logo and everything. It should be an option. Yeah. I don't think it should be every... You know, like some guys... Like, Shanahan always dresses cool. Kyle Shanahan always dresses cool. McDaniel.

McDaniel looks cool. McVeigh looks cool. Shane Steichen looks sweet. You know, all the boys look sweet actually on the courts. We see it every day. You don't get to see all the other coaches. But Kellan Moore, I know he signed up for a tough situation down there. He signed up for McDaniel's always cool looking.

Very tough situation. Rahim Morris has this cool. Yeah, kind of pulled up a little bit. Then they lost by 30 when we brought it up. Yeah, that's not cool. The team that would know how yesterday. It was weird. That's weird for him.

Who? Tomlin. That was. Yeah. Yeah, that's the first time I've ever seen it. Yeah. Andy Reed looks cool. Always.

Getting in Travis's face, saying, hey, how about him throwing that thing? He bumped it. He bumped Travis. He bumped Trav didn't bump him. Like, that was an awesome good for him. Shut up, you old fucker. That's what he said to him.

Is that what Andy said to Travis? I answered what Andy said to Travis. Yeah, right here. Shut up, you fuck, just catch the ball and fuck off. He does throw that thing at him a little. And Travis looked like he was a little Don in the dumps, you know. I like it.

That looked weird, man. Wake up, motherfucker, wake up! I think that's Andy saying, I don't have time for you to be moping around. Yeah, I like it. He said after the game, he liked it. He needed some juice on the sideline, so. You're in your folklore era. You need to get in your red era now, Travis.

Well, I agree. I do want to know what they said. That's what it was. I think Andy potentially told him enough with your bullshit. Quit fucking pop! Yeah, exactly. You're Travis Kelsey. I think it was a reminder of who he is, too.

I think it was a positive interaction, non-negative one. For them to turn it on, would be really cool this early in the season. Yeah. It's very against what they have done. They better because they're going to be on prime time, too, and we need good games. Yeah, but you're going to think they're used to. They just got to get healthy. They just got to get healthy.

Two wide receivers coming back would be a big deal. They got to block people, too. That too. Patrick needs to stop. Yeah, he had another one last night. I know, two of them. I think one got called back. They didn't run the ball last night either.

The backwards passes, too. I know he recovered it in Collinsworth, you know, damn near lost his shit of calling one of the greatest plays he ever seen. But like that, that's, that's, and where, That was the second one. That was a second one. Let's Pacheco turned the round. I was Pacheco backwards.

What are you doing with Pacheco? Like, what route is that? He thought he was on the other side of him. He's swinging right. Because there's so many de-linemen there. Yeah, exactly. You know which way was the pocket. Because look, if you go back to the pocket that way and a pocket behind them.

He's like, oh, fuck, I'm going to score. Throw me the ball. There's two pockets. Yeah, you can see how he gets confused out there because he's just in the moment. He's just in the moment. Oh, shit. That's two backwards. Two of them.

Within five plays, right? Wasn't they on? What a play by Patrick. Legit. It was unbelievable. Legit. I legitimately, how do I tweet this while acknowledging what the fuck?

But then also, yo, what a save there. That's a great play. Defense of players, I think are dreaming to do that. Oh, yeah. That's the eyes are lit up.

Yeah, let me go ahead and get into body and strip and then end up on it. And the guy doesn't even land up on top of it. So he doesn't even take like a big shot afterwards. There's really no... About as clean as it could be. Guys off him, no hits. It's over.

It's over. It's like a trade. It's perfect. Yeah. You announce his draft pick? That's Bobby, right? Bobby O. You did.

Bobby O'Carike is his name. Always has been. But at one point, he did pronounce it Okareki. And I don't know if he actually pronounced it that way. Others did. I feel like we get more of that. More guys just either pronounce their name a certain way or just changed it, you know.

Five years in their career like actually call me this you're talking about Rob Mack writer and it's always sunny in Philadelphia Yeah that just changed his name yep It was just somebody on the Broncos Bajon A-chan yeah A-chan even fucking Denzel Washington came up what's his name now well said his name is supposed to be Denzel Fucking Denzel Washington. Yeah Denzel I apologize for being a part of any Misconstrued information about how your name is pronounced I want to let you know I was saying I love Denzel Washington a lot.

Feels like that's disrespectful now. I will go back and correct that with everybody I said it to. And I wish I had more time to be able to do that. But Denzel Washington from here on out, if that's what he wants to be called. That name sucks. Do we have to call his kid David Washington now, too?

We haven't heard from him. Okay. I've heard from him. Jeez, Louise, dude. Denzel Washington is the coolest name ever. Got a brother name. Denzel Washington sounds like a princess. I'm not calling you, Darius.

I'm not doing it. Well, actually, Darius. Darius is good with me. Darius is sick. That's an astrology-like feeling. Tune would be cool, too. That's exactly actually how you pronounce it. What's that?

That would be a soft-o on that thing? Actually, that's more of a short, and you'd have to call me Antunni. Antunee is not a bad man. Let's go to another overreaction. This one's from. from Rube at Hstown Clears. Hashtag I don't want to overreact.

But, but, okay, like that. Two buts, RIPMPs. The Texans are cooked, and the S2 test was right about Shroud the whole time. We need to fix the O-line fast. Otherwise, we're going to see Davis Mills taking snaps by the end of the season. We all know Dougie Mills is a good player.

He'll be so lucky. We know Dougie Mills is a great ball player. Loves the game, loves the sport, loves his teammates. like that this golden what was the thing called gold standard s2 test i think it was the s2 i believe s2 cognitive test yeah there it is but remember there's so many different parts to take one part of the test out of context with everything else is rude to cj well what's everybody else's score well we're not going to say that it's like well can you tell us the rest

of his scores we're not to say that either no what about on a graph where is it yeah can you just Tell us, what is the median? Can you say a lot of these have been coming out? A lot of those, yeah. A lot of these coming out. See you're seeing those. Huge in football stats. Too many nerds.

Dan Jones isn't even on it. The data folks, I feel like I'm going back to stats class. Literally there's popping up and I'm like, what the fuck is the XX? And then they use some shit. And I'm like, I don't know what that means? And then I go with the Y and I'm like, what the fuck is that? And then I see the Colts top right. And I'm like, that's good.

Fucking. Love this one. That's good. That's where we want to be. Quadrant, yeah. Q1, I believe. Upper right quadrant. One, two, three, four, it goes top.

They go clockwise. I do believe. I thought. I thought it was one, two, three, four. But the way I'm doing it is backwards to you. Is that clockwise? Yeah, I thought it was. It's one top left?

I thought one was top right and four was bottom right. Interesting. So you want to be up and to the right to Q2? No, Q1. Top right is one. But in what you're saying, Q2. What you're saying is Q2. So top right is Q1.

Top left is Q2, I thought. Top right. Q1. Yep. Top left. Two. Oh, so it is counter. Yeah, counter clock.

I want clockwise down here. Yeah. But no, you don't want to do that. Why would I ever do that? That's four. Four touch. Why would you ever do that? You wouldn't want to do that.

That's the worst one. Bottom, or no, bottom left is the worst. Three is the worst one. Stats class was certainly something. I felt like I was outmatch. outmatched in there for real. I didn't really know. Stats kind of suck.

A lot of words, dude. Bell curve. Algebra. Algebra was the best. Day one with the bell curve. You need algebra. Algebra is the best. What about the linear curves?

The outliers, all that shit. I get it. It was a good class for me to take. But fuck, every day was word. Mamba. The sign, cosign on the calculator where you had to do the cos. Then let's just go to chemistry. The significant figures or the siggy figures.

Yep. Yep. Yeah, those things are a whole other animal. what do I need to learn these for? Fuck. So I can say it one day. Physics. Physics sucked ass.

I think I got out of that one. I like physics as a similar to algebra, if I remember correctly. My teacher was easy. We didn't do any work. I just hated the book. It looked like looking at it. It was boring.

It was stupid. It was carried around. Nothing in it that helped me. What was Ohio? Ohio high school curriculum. You doing a... Pretty good. Yeah, not me.

You know... All right, son, you graduate. Here's your diploma. Maybe some places. Maybe some place. I don't like that, AJ. I don't like that. What's your favorite mathematics?

I told you my brain does not compute numbers. I am definitely disabled when it comes to numbers. Okay, so you're not an arithmetic guy the most basic form. You don't want to... If someone's saying numbers or puts numbers on a sheet, I just shut down. That's probably called something, I assume. Yeah, it's called Learning Disabled when it comes. no phobia

I've been tested yeah hey well congratulations thank you for showing that you can still make it all the way no it's good because I you know other things are very high

because it's so terrible in math you know I like other things you lose one sense again another folks oh yeah that's true the pest drawn like was on no never forget it one of the goats

he was a blind man working street obviously but he could hear somebody swinging out and that's all he was able to miss yeah you lose one sense again another that's what AJ's like with his brains is intelligence It's a daredevil.

That's amazing. Football, way high. I mean, I wonder what he lost when he got rid of his shrimp allergy because he definitely lost something for that. No, he's never got a lot of it. I'll tell you what he's gaining. I do too. Great hair.

What's that? Shrimp allergy. You have it? You beat it? E. I haven't tried it. I turned 25 and just got sick. I got a plan for you.

All shell fish or just shrimp. Just shrimp. AJ Fogg. Yeah, he'll get it down. Oh, she can have crab still? Crap, lobster. Fucking. All the shit.

It's not shrimp. It's not shrimp. Muscles. Are you sure he didn't have some weird bad shrimp? Nope. Three different states. Boston, Charlotte, then Florida. Wow.

Three times. Yeah, that's a good test. Yeah, three different states. Three great shrimp towns too. Have you had any here in Indianapolis, though? Our shrimp, I think. Very good. The most fresh.

Nope. Okay. Indianapolis seafood. So shrimp. Pretty fresh. Here. A lot of guys. Yeah, fresh cash on guys every morning.

Yeah, shrimps and geis. Shrews and Geis. Monroe Lake. The thing about it being at, being a geist lake thing is it tastes sweet, tropical, and spicy.

Yeah. Okay. Coming out of there. Yeah. You know what we're talking about? Oh, yeah. Raise a little hill. Raise a little water.

Get to scrimp down there. I think I've been to a scrimp farm in place. Oh, really? Louisiana down there to bayou now. I think so. I think I've been there. Maybe, I think it was shrimp. That'd be fun.

China? A scrimbog. Ooh. Is that like a field with a bunch of water? Yeah. Yeah, scrimps wouldn't be in there, but I was just thinking in like a swamp in Louisiana where a bunch of scrimp are just kind of in like a little bog, but I don't think... I always thought Forrest and Bubba always had that one.

Yeah, they were out in the ocean. Yeah. Alabama. Yeah, that's far away now. I mean, I assume it was Louisiana. I bet they take you on a good shrimp hunt. I don't know. Could have been crawdad, though.

Yeah. Could have been. You get those in Pittsburgh, you know that. Proudat. To the Crick. Yeah, to the Cricks. All right. We don't eat them anywhere near as much as the South does.

Those motherfuckers order them in 10-pound bag. bag oh yeah what is it crawfish oh yeah you lift up a rock they're right underneath they suck the life out of it but in the south they boil the shit out of crofish and you buy them in of like a garbage bag i can i take five pounds of crawfish and he just put it in the fucking and then i think they even dig a hole and they'll fucking and then they boil yeah do the whole yeah the corner dump them on the table yeah all the lemons and all that look it looks good i don't know it tastes good i was there one time it was electrified It was quite a vibe.

I mean, music's playing, obviously, we're drinking. This shit's out here. Then they talk about sucking the head. That's all they talk about. I'm telling you, that's what they said. I had the same reaction you did, but I guess it's a culture thing. They're twisting, pulling, and sucking the fucking head. This guy down here, it's sucked the head.

Somebody said. I was like, I don't know what we... It's real. Sock the head. Yeah, it's a good time, though. I will say, Crawfish Bowl is a good time down here. They have a great time down. How was that gator?

That was a guy to. So I don't know if I ate the gaiter or not. I had the burger that was in the gaiter's mouth. Okay. Oh, okay. But it never got clarified to me if that was a Gator burger or not. Okay. Like, I will say the burger, probably not the best thing on the item.

Especially with, it appears as if they made that burger maybe the night before. Okay. The one that they put in the gator. Yeah, sure. Reheat it and put it in the gator's mouth. I assume that gator was not supposed. That was for sure. I immediately grabbed gaiter.

ahead. You know, we talked about crocodile hunt of Steve Irwin. I couldn't wait to get my hands on that gator that lived a long life, died and it's sleep. Yeah. For sure. But I don't know. I think that might have been like showbugger. You think they were standing offstage and like, oh shit, he's grabbing the showburger.

The wings were very good. There was like a little string cheese. Motsrel's pork. Pork. Spring cheese is good. Oh, pull pork. Pull pork. Yeah. Pull pork out there. There was a lot of this. I don't know what the gate was, is what I'm saying.

It was mixed in there. Yeah, it was somewhere in there. Gator bites in there somewhere. I definitely had everything was good, except for DeBorga felt like you weren't supposed to eat it. Yeah, well, no matter what, it wasn't going to be as good as Governor Jeff Landry's gator, so at the end of the day, probably a smart move not having any gaita. Is there a lot of gaita?

Is there a lot of gaita? Like, in Florida, you guys eat a lot of gaita? No, I wouldn't. We see them a lot, but no, I don't know anyone that just eats gait on the regular. First time I ate gator was at, like, a popadoles in Houston, man. What about, like, San Diego? Central Florida, but in the big central Florida deal going on the Everglades, eat them. Eating Anacondas, perhaps.

And the Everglades. Yeah, you see, like, if you grew up yourself, you live in South Florida, you're going to see gators. But I don't see people eat them too much. Okay, yeah, because it felt like that place was really good, by the place I promised. Everywhere that brings us to food is like. Top dogs. They're very, very good. We are very thankful.

And also, we need it. Yeah. Like, I know it's a segment and everything like that. We are eating the shit out of that food as much as we can. Because it's an early start, so you don't really get to eat beforehand. So, like, we're going through the show, especially with sweating. It's like food gets brought up there. It's a very good time.

Be like, yeah, thank you so much. But, boy, there is a real desire. There's a desire to get some food in there. So it's a necessity, I would say. So we're very appreciative of everybody that brings their food out. And it is always very good. The Gator, I don't know which one was the Gator, which I think is kind of a good thing. Yeah.

Right? It should probably stand out a little bit now. I don't know if it was a good thing. There's different sauces on a lot of things. Yeah, I'm just saying, the Gator should be the Gator. You should know. I'll tell you what, holding that head was an interesting scene And then Saban eating at that

We really It was a big bite too Oh yeah Big old burger Got a guy to my other in that big Yeah Let's get the next of reaction, shall we? Oh

This is me This is not it No, Bill just said We got crabs in the parking lot Was that? Excuse me Bill just sent in the group show We got

What do you mean we got There's a freaking crab out there What was coming to? Like a pet crap? Like an actual crab. That's what happens when you buried dead bodies around somewhere, right? Crap starts showing up. What is that?

Wait, what the hell? They're coming for Bill's bodies. Maybe. Where would that come from? That had to be somebody's pet, right? Dead bodies. That's a crawfish. Okay.

What? Is there water around? A big old crawled. That's weird that it's in the parking lab. That's not a crawfish. Yes, it is. Really? Look at the claws on that.

Yeah, that is. Big old claws. What is that? That's a fully mature. poor crawfish is that it like those are in guise for sure i'm guessing but i can't believe one's in our parking lot what they're in most freshwater lakes so i found him here twice uh i think the fish dropped them here try to crack them eat them or sorry the uh birds drop them here crack and try to eat them so i live on a lake about an hour north of here yeah birds big fish okay they'll

drop these fucking fish don't go in and grab them and then they'll be flying away and drop them I've had them hit the side of my house, like window. And then the window is obviously just has a fish imprint on it. And it's like, what the hell is that? It's like, oh, the fucking bird couldn't handle it. Then there was this weekend, we were walking around the house on, I don't know if it's Saturday afternoon or Sunday or whatever. And there's just the fish's head about this big fucking just sitting, just right in the middle

of our walkway. You know, McKenzie's like, what is that? I'm like, I don't know how to, that had to be the biggest fish of all. That's nature. That's nature. There's nature versus nurture here. So you know those birds that live in that tree up there that are like the same size as you that we're kind of scared of? Yeah, it turns out they're eating very big fish.

And every once in a mile, they'll just fucking throw them off the house, I guess. I don't know what. Try to get chug. You ever seen like an eagle pick up like a goat? Yes. Did it just drop it off the side of the mountains? Like a deer or whatever? Yeah, deer, goat, whatever, it just dropped them up.

We have two eagles that live on property. Crazy. And they are fucking gigantic. Yeah, huge. And whenever they open that thing up and you see their actual body, it's like, full, America. Yeah, exactly. I got these Canadian geese right here. I don't know if you heard about what they were doing on our national anthem, Eagles.

I don't know if you heard, you know, I had a little, instead of you just get a green dot. And then for anybody that's battling against Canadian geese, green laser pointer. And you don't like. Don't hit their, on top of a rifle, right? On the top of your rifle. What's that? The green dot for on the top, like, for your scope. And then you're going to say you're actually.

going to use rifle. Is that what you're saying? I just assume that's what people do to mitigate the Canadian geese. No, but so some people like Tim McAfee, for instance, I told him, I'm like, hey, you need a green laser pointer. That's what we ended up doing at my house, uh, because I had a Canadian geese issue. And my dad's like, I had this thing on the fuckers eye for 30 minutes. Tim was like taking it as a challenge. If you could do it. I'm like, no, you got to, you're putting it on like the check. You're putting it so they can see the green thing and then they get scared and then they run like you just putting it on the eye certainly a great display

of skill but like I don't think any of the other geese saw it no they had to have seen it it was right in the eye I'm like you're trying to fucking scatter them basically that's what you're trying to do trying to make them think that and they'll leave forever is what I learned now there is a chance of Tim McAfee came and killed all those geese

that red with a sword yeah maybe just yeah I got I got a green light it's a laser thing that shoots really far and it actually lights things on fire so you could just get them a little it'd be like give them a little toy. It wouldn't light them on fire, but it would like, it would be real hot on them. And if they stood still, it would, it would catch flames eventually. So they would not come back. I was just thinking about it. I have never used it on an animal or anything, but I'm just burning

leaves from a hundred feet away. You got a laser? You got a laser, is what it sounds like you bought? Yeah, you know, like Instagram knows what they're doing when they market directly towards people. And they've done it to me. And I bought two or three of them, yeah, over the last couple You've been influenced into buying an actual laser that lights things on fire from how... It's amazing. I'll send a link. I mean, it'll shoot really, really far. But I don't know how...

I don't know. I mean, it'll catch a leaf on fire from at least 50 yards. That's impressive. Have humans accidentally got in line with your fiery laser? No, I'm very careful. Okay. Of course you are. He's geese, I guess.

Did you hear what he said at the very beginning of this thing? Are you talking about green laser on top of your right? He was thinking about lighting him on fire. What's wrong with you? No, it wouldn't light him on fire. It would create a little hot spot. How does this thing legal? It would create a hot spot if they stayed there.

Is this thing even... Is this even legal? You're talking about fucking cinching people's earlobes from 50 yards? 50 yards away. I didn't use it on a human. No one, no humans have ever been... No, you did not, but I'm sure somebody... This is what we're talking about.

We can't have these things in the hands of this person. Ohio people. Personal protection. Personal protection. Lighting a motherfucker on fire in 20, minutes? What type of person? If a guy, if this laser, if someone stands still long enough to catch on fire,

a human, it would probably take four to five minutes. They're the toughest human alive. They don't burn a hole right through them. Like, you better move. If you're getting, there's lasers on you and it's hot, you got to go. Somebody comes into the house. Somebody comes in the house. Everybody into the bedroom.

You go, not fucking today. And you grab this little laser and you just get that thing right on his chest. Don't move. If you put in his eyeball, he's blind. He's blind if it goes in his eyeball. probably. What a nice silent too, right? Yeah, burn the redness. Non-lethal, yep. I had no

idea we were at this stage of weaponry. Sounds like we need to burn the fuck out of some people if they break into our house. I might just have those things go off. What was that movie? The guy who has the Scottish accent, older gentleman, and the younger lady.

The rock. Entrapment, maybe. Oh, yeah, Sean Connery and Jennifer Lopez. No. Catherine Zeta Jones where she's dancing through the The lasers. Oh, yeah. Maybe you just have our full house full of fucking fire lasers. That'd be cool.

Yeah, got animals in there. Would it burn down the house? No, because they're... Possibly. Oh, yeah, it might. No, they would have to shoot into each other, so it's just... Yeah. Would that not create some sort of chemical reaction of pure flames?

Yeah, but we'd have to obviously figure that out. We're just talking about... Maybe the front doors. Yeah, theoretical. Maybe that's the front door. Oh, yeah. That's... Walk through, get your leg.

Slice off. Heat right off. off, yeah. Like hot butter. I don't like that AJ has. How many these do you have? 25. You know, I bought my first one and said, this is sweet. It actually works like they said it would. So I got one

or two more. Then I give, you know, if I buy it and I like it myself, then guess what? My brother or my dad's getting for their birthday. Spoiler alert. They know. I'll send them stuff sometime. I'll drop ship them something. Every once in a while, like my

brother i just did it's birthday august 31st sent it to him and said hey let me know how it is because if it's sweet i'm getting one like it was a cool flygun shooter with co2 and oh yeah yeah of course happy birthday ryan had birthday ryan helped you enjoy that fly gun co2 shooter all right let's go to the next overreaction here from icel peony uh hashtag i don't want to overreact but michael parson's is better off in green bay the cowboy's defense is hammered dog shit jerry said the run defense was a problem The problem was hiring a piece of shit like Iberflux. Our defense has made Russ and Caleb look like Tom and Peyton. Hashtag fire GM.

Jerry, and I don't think that's an actual photo. I don't think that's a couple of one. I don't think it is. AJ, do you think this is valid the defense? Iber flus, good defensive coach. Remember the good old days when he was doing good stuff. Yeah, I don't know. It's not looking great right now.

It's not looking a great hire. Iber flus yesterday had a chance for a great revenge game. It went probably, I mean, probably as bad. as it could, what do you say, going against your former team, I guess, as the D-Corinator, but you got some injuries, got some guys beat up. Yes, but it's not looking great. The defense better turn around quick because I'm sure Jerry's not

scared to make moves. Yeah, Jerry said who says we don't make a move right now? And Iberflus might get his ass fired if this happens again. With that being said, forgot about a revenge game for Caleb. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't talk about that at all. No. And if that's what sparks at all, good for Caleb.

It's so bad. That's the Ben Johnson. What's that? All of it? All of it? All of the Boy, like, so, like the DJ Moore touchdown, if you just take a screen, a snapshot of right as Caleb is throwing the ball. He's just wide open. Nobody within 10 yards up on either side. That's a number one receiver in the red area. The Cold Commet touchdown, same thing.

Wide-ass open. Like, I understand the quarterback making place, but in the red area, no one should be this open, especially if you're dropping eight defenders like they were on the DJ Moore touchdown. It was all time bad. Like, look, look this shit. Back in the end zone, middle of the end zone. Like, it's National Football League. What are we doing?

Maybe it's a good overreaction. Let's go to another one here from Cody Perkins. Hashtack, I don't want to overreact. But the Tennessee Titans might be the first team going 17 with this guy's head coach. Hashtack Farah Callahan. Hashtack, bring me John Gruden. John Gruden in Nashville. That's perfect.

Somebody's going to hire John Gruden. Okay. That's how I feel. John Gruden has publicly said multiple times, I want to get back into coaching, man. I want to get back into coaching. Then there's going to be people that just look at his record and look what happens and then kind of the state of the world that we're in right now. And they're going to be like, you know what?

Why not John Gruden here? If he wins games, he'll be beloved. And it feels like he's been more dialed into football right now than ever or the same amount as he always has. Do you think he's the answer with Cam Ward down there in Tennessee? And what are your thoughts on Callahan, AJ? Feels like I don't love the way he operates in the press conferences and stuff. But I'd be pissed too if my team was losing, I guess.

and if that's how he operates, that's how he operates. Yeah, it would be really hard to be a head coach and have to deal with the press. You know it's part of the gig, but I can understand being a little frustrated speaking to them, but he does seem to be on edge a bit, Kyle Handen, I guess. It doesn't seem to be a whole lot of fun,

but we all know it is not fun to lose, especially the NFL on a big stage, but going to John Gruden, if you have any idea, like, if this guy is all in or he loves ball, like just watch a couple clips of him from what he's doing on the internet. The guy is obsessed with football

and could probably, he could rattle off five trillion plays that have happened that he's been a part of as a coach. I don't want to say it, but it just came to my mind. He gave a speech that made me want to fucking go run through a wall. That team was Wisconsin that he spoke to. Ooh, boy. Just stay

there. They did. They ran into a wall and their head's down. Off a cliff. Yeah, they didn't know how to play football. What's going on over there? Nothing good. They need gruded? Not the helm. I don't know if that's where John.

I don't, yeah. I don't know. I don't know if he really cares where it is. I think he just wants to be back at ball. It is crazy where Wisconsin is at right now. Like where they have been the last like 25 years. And now it's just like they're in that tier with when we used to talk about like Illinois and Northwestern. Like maybe it's not quite that bad.

But like Purdue though. Yeah. They stink. And Luke's good coach. Yeah. Yeah. Do they have money? I assume they don't have much money.

I don't, I assume that is a part of every conversation for John Gruden, too, if he's going to get into college football coaching. Can we win? Can we keep up? That's obviously question number one. We don't know about Wisconsin, but there's something with the roster, I guess. There's something with the roster was done. So when he first took over, they hired the OC from North Carolina, his name, Chip Lindsay maybe or something. I can't remember his name. Phil Longo. Phil Longo, yeah, yes, please, thank you. And that was a spread. That was like a spread offense. So they did that. and before that they had been recruiting for the Wisconsin offense. Like big, huge dudes we're going to play in a box or whatever. So then they recruited for that and that didn't work.

And now they're going back to the old Wisconsin ways after they had recruited for the spread for so long. It's just like they don't, I feel like they don't have an identity. Their starting quarterback has also gotten hurt the last three seasons, which also doesn't help. Luke Fickle, coming to a team near you that's going to have national championship hopes.

So what's happening? Feels like. I don't know how many years he has left on a contract or guaranteed money. But Luke Fickle's name is going to be one that, like, we'd like him to become senior consultant here. Oh, yeah. For sure. Ohio State, probably. Oh. You know where it's perfect for Gruden?

Fucking UCLA. Yeah, right. Out in Cali. UCLA spends no money on football. Oh, they don't? I don't think so. How do they get Nico? Well, no one goes to the game.

That's good question. If they spend a big pet. It's actually a good question. Because the MO is like not all in on football. I don't know if his price was that high. Yeah, I was. wasn't that the big thing is like the way he he kind of did everything going in

and it was like it spooked a bunch of teams and he kind of just got left over with what UCLA was willing to offer. That's the whole conversation is do you have money? Are we supportive? What's the percentage of the revs share whenever that inevitably happens going towards football? And then, you know, there's going to be a lot of people that don't care about any of that. Just want to be a head coach

somewhere. So those teams are going to have to hit with that. Well, and that's why with like the Gruden stuff for like a guy who's all about football, you didn't want to go fucking coach in college. Like just looking at all that is required. of you being... He might be great at it, though. He might be, but if the Tennessee Titans job, if he hears that, like, he wants to

coach in the NFL, if all he is available to him is college, maybe, but he wants to coach in the NFL. He screams SEC ball coach. I think that's where he's going to end up. He's a public he said, right? He would love to coach in the SEC. What's going on with him in the NFL? They're still good friends or...

Well, no, but, I mean, like you said, you know, different climate now than when it was, and I get, we're not just going to kind of wipe away that from history and be okay. I think it's still happening, though. Yeah, it is. I think it's still very much. In his favor. Yeah. Which doesn't help for potentially getting back.

I'm just, I'm just saying if everything is, I mean, and obviously you can't do that because that's a very big part of it. But if everybody, but if that weren't, if he had the choice, he's obviously going to go back and coach in the NFL. To Debutt's point, though, yeah. I mean, we're a couple weeks away from Billy Napier football having it to run. run over in Florida. I tell you that much. How far is Gainesville from Tampa? Oh, I would assume probably two and a half, maybe three hours.

He lived in Tampa, right? Yeah. That's where he's fired football coaches of America offices, where he used to go in there 5 a.m. watch film every single day, and then he had a vault there office. Obviously, dry raceboard, ran his entire shit. It's like this guy. Him with Ligway?

Maybe. Could be out. I don't know. Unless Ligway? Yeah. Might be playing at Iowa next year. Tight end. How's Grinowski doing?

I don't know. You tell me, I was scored 38 points on Friday night against a vaunted Rutgers defense. And they're right back. I mean, their only losses against the team that's, you know, right on the outside of the top ten. So I don't know. Are the playoffs still on, I think? So Mark Grinowski had three rushing touchdowns through for another one. Not too bad.

He threw for one? No, actually he did. But he threw like 189 yards, which is still another. First play? First play on Friday? Yeah. And he also, he unleashed a couple deep balls, which, you know, And we, Iowa actually caught those deep balls.

He wasn't just throwing them. Oh, so it was like a punt play for you guys, but actually he was an offense. Typically, yeah, which again, it was 38 points is no joke. Ruckers was undefeated. Big one this weekend. Big one this week. And this, this will, for me, this is the, because you cannot, you cannot let Indiana come into Kinnock and fucking put up 70.

Oh, G. Indiana. Indiana. No, I know. Say, that he's Indiana. Indiana can't. Well, that's what I meant to say. like Indiana plays differently than every other team

in the Big Ten. They do. This is not like your traditional, you know, like, hey, we're going to play Wisconsin. They stink. We're going to run it 65 times and we're going to end up beating them by 10 to 14 points. Guess what? You got to be scoring touchdowns against Indiana.

Because they're going to keep throwing and throw. Fernando Mendoza's played a lot of ball. Yes, but they also, you know, would that game have been a little bit different had it been in Champaign as opposed to maybe not because they beat the fuck out of them? Kinnick's a tough place to play, though. It is, you know. And Signetti can't wait to go in there.

We're going to put on a show for them, kids. We're going to wave at them. We're going to let them know. The whole thing. This is New India. You need to make Mendoza uncomfortable. First, for first possession, I want helmet to helmet when he's clearly out of bounds on the sideline. Fucking hit him heart.

That cannot be out of heart. Set the tone. That is not a lot to be said. Take the PIRT. Between the whistles. Between the way. No, he said when he's out of bounds. Clearly out of bounds.

Maybe one step out. You're saying we need to hamper this offense. Yeah, got set the tone early. Hey, okay? You know what? You're maybe going to be seeing 22 guys on defense instead of a lot. How are the Iowa graduates doing in the NFL? Yeah, solid.

I mean, Caleb Johnson, you know, he had a bit of a blunder first week. But that ain't got the start. That ain't on him. Okay. This guy would fucking, you know, he didn't return kicks. until his freshman year was the last time he'd return kicks. There's a couple of times and he gets to the NFL. I say, hey, guess what, kid?

You're the fucking guy now. I know you're 6-2-250. You got no business fucking back there returning kicks. But that's what we need for you. Outside of that, you know, I mean, a lot of guys from Iowa are hurt right now. Leport is doing great. Jack Campbell's doing great. Yep. Obviously, you can

fucking set your watch to those guys being great every year. Wurfs? Back next week. That's what I mean. Wurfs. You know, Hawkinson's good. I mean, there are so many goddamn hawks in the NFL. I can't even, you know, Van Nessian. Kooke. Yep. Kup. Obviously, D. Butts have just been gushing about him

a week out, you know? You haven't put a white person on any of your all everything, D.B. Come on. It's early. Oh, Riley Moss. Last year. Oh, remember that one time last year. Yeah.

I saw a lot of paintings at Dez's house, too. Good painting? Beautiful paintings. Where are they? What do you mean? mean, what were there? I was just looking around. Why are you laughing? I was just looking around.

This is the nicest decoration I've ever seen for a house. Okay? You got a Heisman trophy is just a fucking decorative piece. Wow. This guy, Super Bowl MVP, and a, and a Heisman. And has an eye for, like, actual art in the way it's, like, his house is so nice. I, uh, I was really impressed by the whole thing. Backyard's so sick.

I was going to say, is it like the indoor, outdoor living kind of thing? Got a back, yeah, I can. Yeah, yeah. Got a basketball court in the back, big pool. Then he's got a gym off the end of the pool. Jim was shut down, everything was closed. I kind of just made myself home, started looking around. And then got autographs from everybody that's everybody in the history of football.

Just Hall of Fame row, basically, across the top. Then I shut the door. His gym, turned around, started walking. Almost fell into his pool. Almost walked right into his pool. Part of it just about over. Part of just about over. Almost fell right in the pool.

Not because if I was intoxicated or anything like that. I was looking around. Holy shit, this place is nice. And then I stopped. I was looking around. literally right on the edge, right on the edge. I might have cracked my head, actually. Jesus.

Yeah, so thank God that. It was beautiful, though. House is so nice, it was distracting. That was kind of the issue. That's house. All right, last overreaction. This one's from Top Gun Hatch here. Hashtag I don't want to overreact?

But... I seem to be stuck in fucking Groundhog Day, except it's not funny anymore. It's the same Steelers' offense and same Steelers' defense. High Spain in the league, by the way. Every week for six years. Different coordinators, different players,

same results. Save me. Groundhog Day's great movie Okay, I love that I heard that maybe somebody was trying to change that time Gump's what did Bull Rush tell us They were trying to do something

With the Groundhog down there You remember that? There was a conversation about maybe Peter didn't want it to happen anymore Or something like that? They're trying to get rid of Groundhog Day? Yeah, I think that was something I heard Maybe there was a little bit of an uproar

about the treatment of said Groundhog This fuckers living real nice Oh yeah, exactly Living real nice And I'm about sick if it's seen a shadow and calling for winter for another six weeks, but that's what it does. It's like De Nardo. It's more accurate than that.

How do you feel? Whoa. Fucking Groundhog's been throwing a pretty good game. Remember, we want it. Better than De Nardo? Yeah, fucking Joe. I agree. Joe said it wouldn't. It did. But this fucking Groundhog, the last, what, six years, we want it to lose its head and its life every single Groundhog day.

And then we're waiting, what, five, six weeks later, and guess what? Fuck it's still winter. He's right. What's this Groundhog's name? Punks. Tony Phil. Staten Island Chuck. Staten Island Chuck is the

imposter. Then they brought a lady in, too. I think Phyllis, right? Pucks is totally Phyllis because Phil's getting a little love. Yeah, and Phil wants to fuck. That's kind of what they said. And so Phil did. Yeah, and then Little Phil came on.

And I think there was something about the treatment, but these guys are living like kings and queens, obviously, Phyllis. But Groundhog Day, good movie, until it's not a good movie, especially if you're living in it. Ton, is this guy accurate? Do you think this is his overreaction or not? I'm going to start with saying this. It's tough to win for.

ball games in the NFL. That's right. Well said. Especially on the road. Steelers win did that. But no, they looked to the exact same. Couldn't really block anybody. Statistically, they have the worst

third and fourth down defense in the entire NFL. But they forced a lot of turnovers. So if you could force four to five turnovers per game, I think they're going to be fine. Aaron Rogers is awesome. Like, he's been great.

there's pressure in his face every single play. He made two of the greatest throws. That one to, obviously, D.K. DK. has been awesome, too. And then the one to Calvin Austin the winner later in the game. The back shoulder throw was just so pretty. Aaron's been great. He just has no time

and the defense can't get off the field nor stop the run. So yeah, I think the guy's pretty accurate. Five turnovers. Yep. It's not bad. That's great. Yeah. Pretty. Unbelievable. It's down in the end zone. Ben, but don't break. Actually, get

the ball back, no points. These Steelers fans, I saw Caboli say, these guys are never happy. Talking about you guys. That's what Caboli's entire take. Because we're a smart fan base. We have eyes and we can tell if a team is a contender or not, so. And you don't think they're a contender? No, unfortunately not.

Oh, no. Damn. Not as of week three. All right. You made the Super Bowl ball. They can get better. And the stop the run ball. How did they do stop the run? Agreed. They can get better. They won. I was going to have four for 18.

Well, and it was nice to hear Vrable say this weekend, though, they have a lot of great players over there. We just know exactly where they're going to be and what they're going to do on every play. Frable said that about the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah. And then they literally just leave 14 points on the board because of a fumble.

Frable probably said we fucking beat that team. But he has to go tell the boys they gave that one away. Five turnovers, tough stuff. Yeah, hold on to the fucking ball, Mike. How about that? People in Boston are not happy this morning because there has been a side-by-side graphic of Gerard Mayo and Mike

Vrable that has hit the internet and they have the same record 1 and 2 to start except Frable's team has about 20 more penalties and about 6 more turnovers Oh there it is boy Oh no

Not having 14 more penalties Five more turnovers Five of them one game 14 more 5 more yeah The biggest difference here though Is one of them isn't just A complete doofus and the other one's Mike Frable.

What? I'll talk about a former teammate like that. I don't know. Okay. My bad. The other one, what, 4 and 13? Numbers don't lie, okay? I don't want to hear fucking feelings.

What are the numbers say? Okay, numbers don't lie. So at the end of the season, if Vrabel is, I don't know, five and 12, then we can say it was right. I do wonder about some of this, turnovers, penalties, you name it. Like, that seems abnormal for a Vrable operation. Absolutely.

the fumbles for Ramandra Sheevenson? No, he has more touched, he has more fumbles than touchdowns in the last two years. So that's expected. That's kind of why a lot of people thought he would be a cap casualty because he's been doing this for fucking ever. But the other, the other parts

of it. We had them on our fancy team last year. The other parts of it. You draft. And we don't this year. Like Drake May. And we're good this year. Drake May's fumble. Very good. Two and one. Drake May's fumble. That's just a rookie mistake. Like that's the stuff you expect to see. But that's also this stuff you would rather see this year

and have all the rookies in doing their fucking rookie shit than having vets in who are getting paid doing rookie things. But no, aside from that, I mean, Tony, me, Tony, and Nick talked a little after the game. It's very easy to feel better about the Patriots today than

it is the Steelers. Okay, how many years is Drake a rookie? What do you mean? Oh, the rookie mistake thing? I mean, he only made it through five games last year. So if Anthony Richardson him as a rookie for the first three years of his career. I think we can give Drake 16, 17 games.

I'm with it. I'm on your side, by the way. Yeah, I know. I'm on your side. I picked the Patriots. Yeah. And he looks unbelievable. It was just like, hey, Drake, little Carl Wentz here, right?

Three guys on top of you. You're trying to shovel past it three yards forward. Let's just take a sack on first down and lift to fight another down. It's too good of an athlete. What quarter was that? That was the fourth quarter. Oh, so this is post concussion. Post-concussion.

I was a great hustle play by Herbie concussion. Great hustle play by It was. In his defense, he slammed his head off the turf harder than maybe any human beings ever done. Yeah. It was a Wisconsin badger sandwich. Yeah. And then did you see him, did you see him crying after the play? That's what JJ said. That was the hardest part is that he was stayed on the ground and kind of complained about it. The unk didn't even think about taking him out of the game. No, no, they did. The unc picked up the phone. But Drake May's daddy was sitting right next to me said, you better put that fucking phone down. So my boy ain't coming out

of this game. And his uncle said, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right, let's get to our picks. We have faith in Drake. I have faith. I appreciate his toughness as well, and the fact that he's the best athlete on the field, so he wants to make every play happen. These are young player mistakes.

It feels like Patriots fans are expecting that. Steelers get a win. Still not happy. Love that. Let's go to tonight. AJ, you and I both not seeing the board exactly well. DeButch said he isn't either. Four and a half point favorites are the Baltimore Ravens, at home. Peter Schrager's there. Look like the backdrop was wonderful. Yeah.

Look like there was a little bit of a lighter filter on him, too. I wonder if the sun was just hitting at a certain light that was kind of brightening up our Peter Schrager, our Emmy Award winner to let us know that tonight is going to be all about the big lights. Tonight, it's going to be all about the stars over under 53 and a half. Tonight it's going to be electrifying. DeButch, you can go first here, pal. Do you like Detroit or Baltimore with Baltimore favored by four and a half? Wait, I guess, is there any other lines? It's four and a half across the board. There is 64% of the money is on Baltimore, and 78% is on the over. D. Bunch, what's saying you?

Yeah, I love, love that over. I'm sure it would be some great touchdown parlay's put together tonight. Also love Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. I think they win this, and I think they win it handily. I know the Detroit Lions put up a bunch of points last week against the Bears, but I think Baltimore shows up. What was his record against NFC, 24 and 2? And I think 10 and 2 on Monday Night Football, something crazy?

Something like that. That's correct. 24 and 2 against the NFC. Yeah, I'm going with Lamar and the Ravens. How do you feel Foxy about Darius Butler saying, yeah, one of these teams really good. The other team was good last week. No, I don't blame DeButt at all because my brain has been saying all week

that this one could be bad. And I don't love that, but the last time they played, we lost 38 to 6, and it was one of the worst games I've seen under the MCDC era. But with that being said, my heart is saying maybe we grab. and palm this thing. Maybe we stretch the game out, make it short, run the ball, nine-minute possessions, score touchdowns, the Ravens don't even get the ball.

And then I'll tell you guys this one. This is what the stars are saying. Tonight, we have a waxing crescent moon. The Detroit Lions are nine and one with a waxing crescent moon. I'll just leave that out there. What are the Ravens? I don't have that information. Oh, interesting.

60 and no they've never lost. Interesting. My brain has been telling me. could be bad. Yeah. I don't know why my brain's saying that. I don't like that my brain's saying that. That's basically a fox is just...

100%. I think we should witness. My heart's like, yeah, and then all of a sudden my brain's like, shut up. Dude, this is going to be a blow up. The matchups just so bad, and the Ravens are so good.

We have a very tough schedule this year. I would say this is the toughest game all year long in Baltimore, Monday night. It's just very, very difficult. And according to AI 7 and 2 on Monday night football, 22 touchdowns, zero intercept.

Who's that? Lamar Jackson. Okay, pretty good little stats. Pretty good. AJ, who do you like? How do you like it? I was waffling a bit, honestly, until I heard Dibut. Debutt just confirmed what I was leaning towards all along.

Give me Baltimore minus four and a half at home. Yep, and we're both ass picking the spread this weekend, so it doesn't matter what happens in this game. I'll do a team ride for all rolling. I'll do a team ride with the AFC North, even though I like the NFC North. And I like the Lions. I like the Ravens a lot. I like Lamar Jackson a lot, a lot.

And I hope Chuck Pagano has a great Monday night football experience. Man, MCDC, though. Chuck was watching the show. Yeah, I was going to say, four and a half is a pretty large number. Jeez. At home team that just put up 50. We've got home record this week. 12 and 3 home teams.

I want to alt spread the Ravens to 9.5. Ton really likes the Ravens. All right, so who's this for? I got to be for the lines, yeah Lines, yeah I need the logo to break it up Uh-oh, that might go ahead Oh

All right, sweet, I'm taking the Ravens Boom All right, be a friend, tell friends something nice It might change your life We're in this thing together Never forget it We've got a big one tomorrow

Overreacting everything that happens tonight With BA in studio Yeah, hell yeah Anybody got anything? What a weekend? Hell of a week Fantastic, hell of a week Enjoy this primetime game

It's a good one You never know when they're going to be good and even the ones that are on the schedule quarterbacks might get hurt so we got two healthy teams two healthy offenses enjoy some points team on me team on three one two three three good bye
