Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley Bo, the Thunderdome. On this overreaction Monday, September 29, 2025, this program begins right now. Football! It is magical, and it was a great weekend of ball from start to finish, and we have two games tonight. Let's go football. It's an honor to get to do this every single day. We appreciate the hell out of you. What a great weekend over to State College, Happy Valley for the Penn State Oregon game.

chance to witness the white out there and live and in person. That might be the best experience I've ever seen. That might be the best environment that I've ever experienced. Now, I was on a sideline for a kickoff and a majority of it and I got to walk through the tunnel just moments before kickoff and moments before the team went out there with athletic director Pat Kraft, former middle linebacker for Indiana, now the athletic director for Penn State, a man who is all in on them being great and also has an alumni base that is all in on them being great. So me and Gumpy and Bull Rush got a chance to walk out of the tunnel on 111,000, obviously. And then we're just standing out there in the middle of the field.

And I'm looking around, and they're in the middle of a $700 million renovation right now. Northwestern right now, I think he's doing something with their stadium or whatever. They're playing down by the lake. Whenever teams have a renovation, they normally have to exit the stadium. They couldn't do that because they have 96,000 season ticket holders up there. Okay? So we're doing a renovation. We can't do it.

They added bleachers and added construction and added concrete so that they were able to keep. and house all of their fans. 111,000 people packed in to Beaver Stadium for a massive night and electrifying night. And I think their marketing team is in charge. There was a fellow named Guido Delia, I believe, right? His first name is Guido. Hey, he's saying A or the. It's actually Guido Delea, who I believe created the White Out, then he went to a couple other schools. He created an entire thing. He's there boots on the ground. As soon as somebody is tackled, I mean, as soon as the person hits the ground.

Aga-ho. Oh, and you got 90-year-olds that have been Penn Stateers for a long time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're screaming. And then you got everybody else that's in there, 100,000 plus that have just been kind of stumbling around State College's hills

all afternoon, all morning from that game day scene all the way through. It was electric, literally every single second of it, until the very end. The way that thing ended, Dan Lanning's team, obviously steals a win out there. Now, granted, they dominated throughout most of it. We thought Oregon was going to win that. Drew Aller gets hot, makes things look easy. They get into overtime, holy hell.

You score a touchdown in double overtime and go for two and get it. You're going to beat Oregon here. This is going to be a monumental win for this Penn State team and ends up turning the ball over and Oregon ends up winning the game. And that place just has a hush upon him. And then immediately anger, booze. So what the hell is going on here? And it's not easy, obviously, being in the spotlight up there, especially with how passionate their fans are.

And everything's still in front of this Penn State team. Everything can still happen for them if they wanted to. But that's not how their fans felt at the end of that game. But I appreciate everybody's hospitality, and congrats the Oregon Ducks. Oregon Ducks and Alabama, I'm sorry, yeah, Alabama were the two losses I had. I want eight for ten, picking on a game game game. Pretty good. I want eight for ten.

You took Illinois? I did actually I thought they were a good football team I just really liked Indiana plus I thought 9 a.m. kickoff gonna be difficult so that's the whole thing and also on the jacket at game day I thought it was going to be one

you know what I like it was off white it was off white and whenever I see when I see the off white it's like all right you know yeah this is a little bit we'll see I didn't know everybody else could have the same suits sure guys had the same suits they legitimately had the same suits so I didn't know that was case

and it was decided you know last week. So there was a local tailor that was available if you weren't able to get it. My guy, David Allen from Pittsburgh near there. I say, hey, they're doing a white out. He's I got you, man. No worries. David Allen makes every nice thing that I wear. Okay, I either dress like an asshole or I have David Allen stuff on. And he just basically is the coolest. He's a Pittsburgh guy. He's a friend too. And his business is up into the right. So, and he's jacked. He looks cool all the time. But he doesn't have like full asshole clothes, which I appreciate. You know, it's a happy medium. So I'm like, no,

My guy would probably be able to take care of this. He does. I get that thing late night Friday. DJ Griff drives it up there. Shout to DJ Griff College Game Day thing. I open at the morning. I realize, okay, this is not. It's been awful.

It's not white. So then I walk in. I'm like, it won't be that noticeable. Hold on. It certainly was. So I agree. There's a lot of people saying that that thing should have been more white.

It's good that you're sitting in the middle. I think it was almost worse. No, I made it better because you were in the end or like second. You would have blended in with the fans if you wore that white. white suit. Yeah, of course, of course. They had the same. That local Taylor, I thought, was maybe going to make them different styles of a white suit. They had literally a uniform

up there. That was surprising. Yeah, I was very surprised. I was very surprised. I was wrong. Damn, I missed out. I should have just done this one. I apologize. That's on me. Didn't want to put any work on anybody else. Or, you know, also straight away from my guy, DA, who's taking care of me throughout this entirety. But I will say this, place was electrifying. I think students showed up. I think obviously the alumni showed up. The environment was crazy. And you knows, the duck showed up. That team is a problem. And Dan is awesome to watch out there. So I appreciate the hell out of the hospitality

and get a chance to learn about them, but then the NFL Sunday delivered in a big way. The talks at tables here at Boston Connor, at Ty Schmitt. Conman, you might have an MVP, brother. Don't look now. What? Uh-oh, boys, future of the NFL is in New England. Drake May, actually, okay, actually doing things that only

MVP do, okay? He's on a bunch of different stat list where the names are like, Hall of Famer, Icon, Hall of Famer, Drake May. Wild to think about, because he's been saying this since last year, since the beginning of the Drake May run, When they were asked last year,

all Connor was saying is, we got a quarterback of the future. Team stinks, but we got a quarterback of the future. It was hard to take him seriously because of how bad the team was. New coach in there, new vibes, new mindset, new development, I think from year one to year two, he's only gotten better, is what you would say.

Oh, yeah, big time, especially helping him out, getting him a left tackle first and foremost at the top of the first round and then Stefan Diggs, they moved him to slot. I'm sure you guys could probably talk about it better, but him moving from the outside to a slot has completely changed the office. Hey, don't look now. The Patriots might be back.

And then let's go to one half of the hammer. Done. Cowboys A. P. Tone, congrats to your Irish brethren, getting a huge win to kickoff 9.30 a.m. football. We'll talk about that here in a matter of moments. Greg Olson, very good in the morning. I want to mind you, just a little coffee, hang with a daughter and a wife. Greg Olson on the call. They're in Ireland.

Zombie. Zombie. Hey, eh, eh. Do you hear that? Do you know that song, Nine Year NFL Vet? Darrys J. Butler? That, Bat Bunny? No, it's the cranberries.

Oh, I'm sorry. Bat Bunny will be hosting the halftime show at the next Super Bowl, and congratulations to Bob Bunny. We're going to skip over that. That was messed up. He knows that song. I know. He has to, but San Benito Babani will be

the halftime artist. This is the first time, I think, that the entire performance will be in a different language. Is that actor? Probably. Oh, yeah, I would assume so. I don't know if he sings a lot of English songs. We would request a few if that's possible because I would like to sing along. But on that note, I've seen this guy put on a couple

different shows with WWE. I happen to be down in Puerto Rico whenever he is in the middle of his 30 show residency down there. I mean, they're talking about the entire islands visit and what's that called when people spend? Tourism.

There's tourism up for him. This dude is a needle mover. This guy is a monster and he is a showman I think completely. But I think there a lot of people say, can I Super Bowl have to, I'm celebrating Super Bowl too, am I going to be able to sing along? I think that is certainly what some gripes are.

Just know, he's going to put on a hell of a show, though. This guy will put on a hell of a show. Well, and that's the thing. Like, I don't know any bad bunny music, but I respect the hell out of him because of what he's done in the WWE and the shows and the residencies and stuff. It's just like, I want, I want to say,

what about a Dell? Where was it? I wanted a Dell. What happened? I love a deal. to the rain. See, all of us, everybody, everybody right there. Generational different. I mean, you're talking about all over the country right there. Let alone. Hello. It's me. I was wondering if after all these years you like for me to go over everything. I've been so sick. I mean, right?

That was being rumored. I mean, I wouldn't have been happy with that either. What? You wouldn't have been happy with it? No. That's not a Super Bowl halftime shit. What? You know, Bat Bunny at least is going to be doing some crazy shit.

So even if you don't understand what he's saying, it's like, holy shit, look what this guy's doing. He's going crazy. He is to show me. Yeah, I can get on board with that. But I agree. I mean, we don't have that just like middle America, right down Main Street.

everyone's going to love this. We don't have that anymore. We don't have that. Taylor Swift allegedly was asked and turned down because she wasn't doing it for free. That is longstanding. The rules, I guess, the way the NFL has treated it. It's fun rules to have if you're the NFL. Hey, that's just the rules. You know, it's like... And we don't make...

Hey, let's say that the way it goes. You know, it's like when the NCAA used to say, amateurism. Sorry, that's amateurism. It's like, what's that word? You guys made up that word. Yep. So you guys are just... I would like to make up a word. Bullshite. So that is what. that is and we're just going to live by it like it's gospel the NFL has just had a long rule it's

like yeah you're welcome actually so I mean we'll pay for the whole thing to a certain amount but you're just going to blow up in every artist that performs at the halftime it's like the NFL knows what's about to happen and Prince is like the most I ain't doing it you know because he's like super business guy then he has the rain one down in Miami playing purple rain it's like one the most iconic moments of all time and obviously people just their love for the artist grows or people get introduced. I think Tom Petty whenever he won, like the next day was the biggest he's ever gone. So the NFL like sells that

as their pitch and Taylor Swift says it's okay. I'll actually just put a pendant on the ground and it'll actually be a clue to where they can find a song that they'll actually run it up. Banito will kill it though. He will be an entertaining lad up there. Who would you

who are you pulling for? Is there anybody that you're hoping for? You know what? Honestly, I really don't care. I'm going to be entertained by whoever it is. I know Sometimes, like Kendra Lamar, I was happy with that. I know a lot of people wasn't. But, I mean, it is what it is. I'm going to watch the game.

I'm going to watch whoever performed. But I don't mind Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny's got bangers, even though I don't. I'm in South Florida as well, too. So you know. I hear a lot more Bad Bunny than probably you guys do. I would have to hear it be. That's the thing about music.

That's why these guys can go on tour to all around the world where you don't speak the language because once the music come, I mean, it's kind of a universal language, you know? Search the WWE Bad Bunny entrance in Puerto Rico. that song, if he just plays that song five times and has that situation, it'll be the most electrifying. Joevote. What? If he plays the same

song five times, I'm going to blow a gasket. I'm going to need at least two. Yeah, but you might know the words by like the fourth time. I'm sure it'll be stuck in my head for the next week, and I'll love it. For sure. He mix it up. I'm not down on Bad Bonnie. I'm more so

down on the decision, but everything that you guys are saying is making me feel great about how good of a showman he'll be. He's a showman. Who would you pick this year? I don't know. Maybe Adele? Remember that day?

We just sang all the songs. That's your real. That wouldn't be your real big. We all do. But not 2025? AI, Freddie Mercury. Okay. Hologram.

That's pretty good. Oh, my God. Could you imagine him? Yeah. Oh, it would be a... Anyways, let's talk about Nita. Bring a Tupac and a bunch of other guys next to. Maybe he comes rolling in.

There's a chance. I mean, Benito might do that. Yeah. That is the type of brain to Bad Bunny. has and congrats to him. All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is time to go over the five headlines that we think you need to know about, or unless you already have heard about it, which we sure you have, we'd like to let you know how we feel about it. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first 15, driven by Ram Trucks. Got to sponsor this segment. We love

everything about that. Shout to Ram Trucks. Obviously, you hit their pedal, all you hear is ram-ram-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. It rides on clouds. It can pull anything. Let's get to the first 15, shall we? Let's start the clock. ties can't have it okay obviously Michael Parsons goes back to Jerry World it's talking a time they're treating it like it's Super Bowl you got everybody on the field chit-chatting about in football night in America and obviously everybody on earth is chatting about it the first time he went on to the field Jerry Jones is actually being interviewed by Jason Garrett and Maria Taylor

Jason Garrett's first question was basically like hey I've been in your building a long time need a quarterback need a pass rusher that's like one of your own rules why did you trade away Michael And then he went into a full conversation about, well, one guy's good, but how about six guys? That's what I think we can actually get. And he ran out with a band around his hips and around his waist. That was the first time I'd ever seen somebody just jog out there and act as if that is normal. And usually people do like a warm-up with that.

He was using it throughout the entirety of his warm-up on the field. Kind of startled me a little bit. But with that being said, the man is an absolute ox. This dude is an absolute beast. Whatever he needs to do to warm up his muscles, he's certainly going to do. But Jerry Jones said, basically, we're going to get six guys instead of just one guy. I mean, I've always been right about numbers. Don't you worry about everything else that's going on around here, Jason.

And they had a microphone a little bit far away from his mouth, so it was hard to hear him. Everybody else was a little bit louder. But basically, he chatted about Michael Parsons trade a thousand different times. And all he kept saying was for good of the team, good of the team, good to the Cowboys. And then at the very end of the game, after it was 40-40 tie. Here's what Jerry Jones had to say about the trade and the night as a whole. They got my good, and we've got what we've got, and we tie. Okay, so 40-40.

is what it comes down to. And a lot of American football fans say, what are we doing? This is what soccer does. Golf doesn't even do it. Okay, golf doesn't even do ties. Why are we doing ties? Well, there's been 17 of them in the last 30 years, and we say that's 17 way too many.

What we need to institute in D-But, people are going to think, I'm joking here. I'm not. What I need you to do is suspend reality and go into this world just a little bit and imagine how special this will be. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello, to the golden boot. Yes, we have chit-chat about it before. But if there's an entire four

quarters of football played 60 minutes, and then an overtime period, and for some reason, these two teams can't figure it out, we need to just take what the most boring sport has that is actually the most electrifying thing that they have and put it into our game. Both the snap, the holder, and the kicker will go out onto the field from both teams. Obviously, it's going to be a rompice atmosphere. It's a tie ball game. There's been four quarters of boozing. There's been four quarters of learning everything about the other team. those boys go out on the field all by themselves incredibly uncomfortable incredibly awkward and one team will kick from the 50 yard line a 50 yarder if they make it the next team obviously uh whoever

wins the coin toss to go second or first we'll try to match if that person misses that 50 yard or well the kicker that made it and the holder that made it and the snapper that made it their team wins the game if they both both make it from 50 go back to 55 if they both make it from 55 go back to 60 if they both make it from 60 go back to 65 Mick man and and Aubrey, massive legs. Massive, massive leg. McManus is one of the best athletes in the NFL. Any sport you put him in, he would be great at,

which is why it's crazy that he's so damn good at kicking field goals, because you have to be very methodical whenever you're kicking field goals, just like a golf swing. So sometimes the really athletic guys aren't as good because they get a little crazy. McManus, obviously, and I think he had two tackles last night.

Yeah. They had two tackles on. Obviously, game tire. Had one blocked, which absolutely sucks. Don't always put that on the kicker, but hits a 53-yarder to send it into overtime. Massive leg, especially with the beat-up balls. Him and Aubrey would have both hit from 65.

Then what? They're going back to 70? What? And then imagine a miss on the first one. And then Aubrey walks out there in Jerry World. Snaphole kick. He hits from 70. Think about that place going absolutely apesh. I think it's only a five to 10-minute thing. I don't think it's a very long, long time.

I don't think it's very drawn out. And I think you get a chance to get a winner or a loser. and if it comes to that point of the golden boot, we need somebody to win. Yeah, need you to. 300 and 1 or something is a stat for something that took place for the Dallas. 40 plus points and no

turnovers by the home team, I think it was? Yeah, 300 wins and zero losses is what it used to be. Now it's 300.0.1. We just can't have these ties. And it doesn't have to be the golden boot, but there are certainly things that we can create. Maybe just have it go until we have a winner, especially if they both tie on the first drives.

Just go ahead and keep going until we have a winner untimed basically at the end but we hate this and that game was hyped up and that's how it ends kind of uh it's kind of what the fuck that i stay up here for yeah very anticlimactic i didn't even think about that i thought about several other things because it was 80 point score maybe have both defensive coordinators just go out there and run suicides to one of them pass out that's good at all the iber fools Oklahoma's yeah uh but the golden boot i love that rule one thing i would change though with all the field goal blocks this year huh we got to put Oh, you want the boys out there?

Yeah, I need a four unit out there. I need Zaire Rogers or somebody coming off the edge. I like that. Then you can start it much closer, too. Yeah, he can do 45, 45, you like that. And I think they should be able to pick, left, hash, middle, or right, whatever the hell you want. Listen, because at the end of the day, I think what builds up the drama is make, make, make, and then the builds. Now, granted, if the first, if the first kicker makes it, and then the second kicker just gets swatted, oh.

So cool. Place would explode. Yeah. Good call. I like what we're doing here. continue to brainstorm, but just know that ties can't happen. On that note, both teams walk out of their happy, Green Bay Packers owner. Obviously, second to last play, not desirable before the game tying field goal, where you guys almost literally throw that game away in overtime as time

expires. What year is this for the coordinator? What year is this for the quarterback being together? Crazy that this has taken place. LaFleur addressed that afterwards. It was like, yeah, I can't have it. Basically, that's not good. We got to work on the details. Should have been already doing that is what a lot of people would say, but maybe this is a learning experience for them and they get away with a tie. What are the Packers fans' thoughts? And how do you think Cowboys fans feel about it? I'm sure Cowboys fans are ecstatic today. I mean, why wouldn't you be? As a Packers fan, no, I'm pissed. I mean, this is worse than the Browns. They're just, you can't go from the penthouse to the shit house that quickly. Like now it's your thing,

you know, two weeks ago it was, hey, this team might win the Super Bowl and it's not, now it's like, is this team even going to make the playoffs? I just don't understand how bipolar they are. It's Like one week, the offense plays great. The next week, the offense plays like shit. One week, the defense is generational. The next week, they're giving up 40 points to the Cowboys without C.D. Lambs. So they have a buy week next week, which is, you know, it's early, but, you know,

they have a lot of stuff that they can fix. But, no, as a Packers fan, I'm livid this morning. Okay, livid that they're 2-1 and 1 after Sunday-Nate football against Cowboys. Dak Prescott, 31 of 40, 319 yards, three touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown without CD-LAM. George Pickens became real. guy for Dak Prescott last night in prime time. How you love to see it. If you're a Dallas Cowboy fans for sure, but I mean

it's the guy you need to step up and be a true number one with CD being out and he did that. Did it in the biggest moments, showed up for his team. So you got to love that if you're a Cowboys fan. And on the other side, Packers, Jordan Love 31 of 43, 337, 3 touchdowns with 28 rush yards. It's like it was offensive, awesome

last night. Josh Jacobs, so cool. And Dobbs's his head with that Guardian. It's so big. You guys aren't a Guardian-made Packers. I almost put that out. If that guy's going to continue to be the only one that gets in the paint for you, which it feels like he's always dancing. Guardian Bay. You know, Guardian Bay Packers. I was just sitting on it last night just like, nope, don't need to say that.

Sertic, it's kind of his look almost. It's not just him. Savion Williams, the rookie, he's got one, too, that's massive. I mean, it doesn't look great, but Dobbs has also had about 40 concussions in the last three years, so maybe he does need it. And he's a great football. He is very good. Yeah, he's great for you guys.

Congrats to both the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys getting out of the week without a loss. No blood. No blood. Hey, carry over, carry over. It does suck. All right, let's go to number four. The NFL's bubbling in Dublin, 9.30 a.m., how's your morning going? Fantastic.

Get a chance to get an overview of the Emerald Isle, an absolutely beautiful place that we have been to, obviously, in the past. We've drank some Guinnesses with the folks. We've walked the streets. We've enjoyed the tried music. Hup, hop, hop, hop. And now we got a chance to watch them host their first NFL game. and I'll tell you what, the country delivered, and the game did as well. The Pittsburgh Steelers started out immaculate.

It felt as if Rooney was in the clouds looking Don saying we dominate in Ireland. Kenneth Gainwell, more like Kenneth Gain really well. And then Aaron Rogers, for the first time, long time, absolutely throws a strike to D.K. Metcalfe, who obviously outruns everybody to the end zone. The Pittsburgh Steelers looked remarkable. Aaron Rogers was smiling the whole damn time, as was Mike Tomlin, without the head. We got a new Mike Tomlin, new coach Tomlin. He doesn't like the hats either.

Yeah, no hat out there, no hat out there. Pittsburgh Steelers dominant early, and then we got a chance to experience what we've been waiting on for a long time. The Carson Wentz experience all aboard. This one's an international affair. In the second quarter it started, Carson doing Carson.

Breaking free, up the middle, side-on the Justin Jefferson on a line. Carson Wentz is the best quarter-border back on a field, any field whenever he's playing good. Now, we obviously almost get sacked. We dish it off to a running back three-yard loss. How about this third and 12? Hock that thing up.

Yeah, if he catches it, that'll be a great catch. He wasn't able to. We continue to move on. A guy gets flipped over in front of him, on top of him. Fumble, where is it? Way over here. This is the Carson Wend's experience. This is the second quarter into the third quarter.

And this guy had a chance at the end to come back and tie this entire thing up. The CWE hit Ireland in a big-time way. The Steelers steal a big-time win and hold on for dear life at the very end after a lot of interesting decisions that were made by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a whole. But I would like to say, congrats to Ireland as a whole. Jordan Addison, a wide-ass open. And Wilson with no ACLs running 22 miles an hour. Catches them, runs them down. That's Pittsburgh Steelers football.

That is what Pittsburgh Steelers fans would hope would happen. But it was a great morning in Ireland. It was a great game. I thought Greg Wilson was phenomenal on the call. It was nice waking up with him, having a little coffee hanging out with Greg Olson, breaking down ball. He even broke down the holder's cadence on a field goal because obviously blocking the field goals is becoming a real storyline around the NFL. And the Steelers are saying, ah, let's go for one. Or, boss, let's go for one.

And then flipping out the other way, it's like, I appreciate what happened in Dublin showed up in a big way. Let's go to Pittsburgh Steelers Superfan. Obviously got nervous late. But as a whole, Ireland was perfect for the NFL. And I think that country would enjoy the NFL if they continued. to learn about it. Yeah, Ireland was awesome. It's like everything that I heard from Steelers fans all week was like it was the perfect

talent to host a football game. And it was all the Steelers legends were over there. It looked like a great time. The grass. The field was awesome. You saw Justin Jefferson slip. But other than that, like it was, it was the grass looked great. Best international grass.

Yes, by far that I have, that I have seen. And then like you said, it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers. They had seven sacks. They had a billion pressures. And then they ran the ball with great with gain. Well, they used Darnell, Washington, 40. snaps as basically a six offensive lineman. So just like when we started

the year, they were going to play defense, they were going to run the ball, Aaron was going to hit shots to DK, it was perfect. I love that, and I love that Steelers have seemingly found an identity. They head into a buy very early. Will the old bodies be able to make it on the long haul on the other side of the buy? We shall see. And what were boots on the ground saying

about the event? Yeah, if you'll indulge me real quick, we have some stats from the Ireland game here from our friend McQuaid. 74,000 fans in attendance. Massive, massive amount of lads. And this is a big one. This is actually true. This is the largest movement of people from the U.S. to Europe

since the war time. Since, yeah, exactly, since the Allies came over and went, you know, belt to ass on the Axis powers. It's the biggest movement in a long time. If you didn't know, lads, T.J. That's that. Well said, D. But thank you, Lod. T.J. Watts' interception

where he obviously kicked the ball into the crowd in the third quarter. That was actually a nod to Gaelic football, if you know that, lads. We love it over there obviously. This is a fun little stat here actually. 22 different NFL teams jerseys were in the crowd. Oh, they counted them.

McQuaid counted them. They didn't. McQuaid was boom, boom, boom. He was making sure because they obviously love football over in Ireland and Croke Park and everything. And then lastly, it's a big one, Lutz. 80-yard touchdown for D.K. Metcalfe is the longest touchdown in all 40 of the UK Ireland game. So yeah, I think you're right.

Let's run this back. Let's go back to Croke Park next year. Thank you, Lads. Thank you, McQuade, for being on the... That sounded like I was with him again back in Dublin. That man has pounded the drum for NFL Ireland, louder and more relentless than anybody we've ever seen. Everywhere we were in Ireland, he was. McAid.

With the football. New stat, yeah, with a football. New stat, new fact. He had the ground tunnels that just... And then he might have that, actually. And him on the internet, relentless about, hey, we love it, we should love it. Ireland will love the NFL if they continue to get more games. that's good for all parties there's a little dust up right a little bit yeah uh there was

scyler thompson might have got jumped the night before and rob but did he get jumped to lose a fight i mean yeah what he said i can tell you he didn't lose a fight okay i agree that's not good for team camaraderie that's not good to the buddy system yeah take care of each other geez ireland note can happen yeah but on that note football yeah uh number two headline that we need to chat about today uh oh i'm sorry number three good teams played good ladies and gentlemen games where two teams had to take L's, even though they played good and are going to be good for a long time. The Eagles in the Bucks played Don in Tampa. Tampa had a chance to come back and be the cardiac buccaneers once again. The last playboys had an opportunity. There's a fourth

in 10 it came down to. Baker Mayfield ends up not being able to complete the first down. Then the Eagles actually do a slow safety to end this game. So the game is actually two points closer than it actually was. And then whenever you talk about Colts and the Rams, Matthew Stafford is. Yeah, man. Spitting it. Outrageous. He is absolutely outrageous. And Danny Thans, still a dog as well.

But Matthew Stafford and Los Angeles Rams end up getting the win, even though the Colts literally and figuratively shot themselves in the foot with a football that was in their hand before they score, as they were about to score a touchdown. A.D. Mitchell, obviously, you've seen this.

Last year, he threw a pick six where he actually wondered if the guy that did it was Ed Reed because he seemingly came out of nowhere on throwback play. Then on this play, insane catch, wild yards after catch. He's pulling away in insanely athletic fashion. And then ball just slips out of his hands as he gets a little excited to go ahead and put that thing. Incredible play.

One of the best plays. And then that sound effect is the end of the first 15 minutes. But it could have also been on this case where he's running so fast, the ball slips out, can't happen. But then he compounds it just a couple minutes later. Gets a hold and call. throws a guy down the ground. Jonathan Taylor, obviously going to take. take this to the house. Insane run by Jonathan Taylor. Yet again, having one of his best years

he's ever had as a football player, Jonathan Taylor. Yep, let's go ahead and take that back. That's in a fourth quarter of two minutes and 16 a second. Yeah. So, I mean, he was trying to block, though, which I appreciate. Like, A.D. Mitchell was trying to block. A.D. Mitchell also made an insane catch, insane play. Almost finishes that thing. And then, geez, Jonathan Taylor did this last year. Almost did it a couple weeks ago. Now we got this again. We need to clean that up. Gotta clean it up. But on that note, A.D. Mitchell is talented. We don't need to be.

Everybody's saying, you need to cut him? No. Maybe we just get them off the field. If he can get near the end zone. Maybe we don't have him throw again. Maybe he slides down before the end zone. Yeah, but we need, exactly. Hey, you need to not even go anywhere near that goal line.

And also, let's not even have him block. Fuck it. Just have them only on past plays. And let's not have him throw the ball ever again on the field. But it's certainly been an interesting first couple of years for A.D. Mitchell. And he's going to be a piece that we're going to need. but that can't happen, especially against the Rams. They get a good win, but we should have won that game

and we should still be on the feet. Yeah, you've mentioned it. Shout ourselves in the foot. That's pretty much the A.D. Mitchell experience so far right there in a nutshell. That play, phenomenal, phenomenal talent, but it just, it's just the little things. And hopefully he learns from this. You know how you've been in these moments where you do something, maybe bonehead or you just make a bad play, and it's like the way to the world is on your shoulder.

You saw him after this play kind of outside the huddle, just pacing around. It was tough then to get the block to compound that. But we still had a chance to at least. put this game in overtime late. So it never comes down to just one player. We had 10 people on the field when we gave up the big deep ball, the 2-2 at well. So it's always a team effort in winning and losing, but it's going to be a tough week until 10 can get back on the field and hopefully make up for that.

But you cannot have 10 players on the field in a situation like this. Got to have the situation, two-minute situation. Matt Stafford, he found him, he made him pay, and the guy that was on him. He tripped and fell, which happens. But Stafford's playing unbelievable football. Pooking the cool might be the best wide receiver. in football right now and just a total team after you mentioned good good teams playing this was four these are four teams right now that kind of can be in it at the end and I expect these guys

to make all deep playoff runs in both of these games the Buccaneers going to have to start hotter yeah they're going to have to start better they're going to get healthier though too I agree but also they're what they at their very best what they are unstoppable yeah yeah like whenever they need it they've seemingly got it except for this fourth down in the Eagles special teams has been an absolute nightmare for the brand obviously we're remembering remember two block field goals. Now we got a block punt right up the gut. Riley Dixon there almost eats one.

I mean, that could have been even worse. Philadelphia Eagles humming on all sides of the ball, except for getting the ball to one guy. Yeah. AJ Brown. Really, right hand. They're undefeated. Their red zone right now is 11 for 11, I think.

Like Hempbo sent me a stat. They are 100% I think in the red zone. Their offensive efficiency is like the greatest of all time. And one of the highest paid guys they got at wide receiver. He's like, listen. Hey, if you're all welcomed, I'll listen to, just quietly withdrawal. Don't make a scene, don't post. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.

So is that what his mindset was a couple weeks ago? Didn't he have 100? Yeah, at 106 and a Tud last week. I believe eight catchers as well. Okay, so I appreciate the fact that he said, hey, I could be louder about this, but I live by this mantra. I just want you to know that this is how I live by. So I'm just trying to let you guys know who I am.

But this is kind of loud, don't you think? Well, but you don't... I'm not saying it. I'm saying not be loud, though. I'm saying be quietly. This is going to be something that Siriani's going to have to juggle. Yeah. Or are they going to...

Siriani loves him. He would never. Him and Devanta combined for four catches. I don't know if I saw this out. I don't know if it's true. I don't know if they completed a pass in the second half. I saw that stat too over eight. I don't know. I don't know.

We should check those stats to see if they're real, but nonetheless, I don't think it matters. Yeah. Okay, and that's the... That's probably what Siriani. and everybody says. So whenever you talk about AJ Brown, potentially, does he want to cause a little bit of shit

to either get the ball or? I don't know. We have no idea, but we know that the Eagles are winning games and they always seemingly do. Let's get number two. Speaking of winning games, congrats to the New York Football Giants.

Wow. MetLife Boxing, the day bowl and dart story. Obviously, we see a small sample size, but we love everything about it. And know that this particular sample size ends with Jackson Darts' forehead, clearly pressed on the day bowl's forehead. saying are you my dad and him saying are you my son uh great knee great knee bend there good fluidity

there to be able to do that there's day ball and jackson say you're my son i think you're my dad whenever you think about two guys with moxie i think and seeing if they can get along jackson and dayball feel like a good doesn't it good partnership just from what we've learned about dayball sawed off cigar yep in hand you know some other things about willing to do whatever intense and then jackson dart comes in there all the swagger and moxie in the world, let alone you got scataboo, gassing it all up. You got scataboo gassing everything up, love everything about it. 4 to 4 and 6 are a problem.

Okay, you times what those two add to. That's what you got with this crew. That's a hondo, pal. This group is obviously young, hungry, in the middle of a transition potentially. And people are saying that Dart saved Dayball's job. Yeah. We talked about that, though. We said the whole plan here is if Daibo and Dart show promise,

that's probably their pitch tomorrow not to get fired. And yesterday I have on good authority, it was the entire ownership group in the building, like not just the Marrars, but everybody collectively were there. So, yeah, it could have been a big decision made. Maybe it was because it was Jackson's Darts, the new era beginning. But, yeah, you saw the excitement from Coach Dayball after the game, and that looked like, hey, boy, you might have just saved my job. Gave you some more runway.

But I love what I saw from the young kid. Obviously, you're going to have to build on and continue to get better because once you put anything on film, these defenses will continue to prepare and try to take away the things you do well but you love to see this from your rookies him playing well scadaboo playing well Abdul Carter coming along you got some youth in the building

and you just want to sell some problems you want to compete as this year goes on and then maybe you stick with Dave Ball and Sean in the front office good luck to all of them and we're appreciative of the moxie for sure especially in the big city you know especially in the big city Chargers

not worried about him okay not kick, just like 10 a.m. kick, whatever. Yeah, yeah, just like USA. Yeah, Illinois, USA. Okay. I think we should think about that. Maybe. You worried about him? I'm not, but anytime

you've got to, you know, now that we know Kate Marrow's in the owner's box. I mean, we can't really fault anybody. Who's the famous actress? Who's the famous actress? Is that the lady from Seinfeld? She related to that family?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Is she related to the New York Giants family? I don't think so. She could be, though. Is that what you're talking about? You're talking about that? Who are you saying whenever you say whole family? I'm not even just saying family.

I'm saying the, you know, because there are other people that are in the... Oh, the minority owners. All right. Eli. All hands on deck. Marks friends. This team sucks. Hey, why do we...

Gate boss. And the number one story is the chiefs are still the chiefs. Congress it. Of course, I give up on him and stop picking up and this happened. their biggest game that they've had in a long time. I forget how many years. How big of a day was that for Patrick Mahom? First time he's had four passing touchdowns in the games

since October, 2023. Okay, so it's been a while. Xavier Worthy, obviously a huge piece of the puzzle. Patrick Mahomes is still that guy, always will be that guy. Juju Smith-Schuster's also been flashing a lot. I like their celebration how they pass it around as well with old Uncle Travis Kelsey getting in there. Pacheco goes crazy.

Patrick Mahomes is the youngest to 250... Yeah, 250 passing touchdowns. The youngest in the history of the game to 250 passing touchdowns, he just turned 30 just a couple weeks ago. And he's already in the goat discussion. Obviously, he's special. We all have to remember that, including myself, whenever I decided to pick another team. That other team, the Baltimore Ravens, defensively, man, I don't know what the hell's going on over there.

ZO and the boys are going to have to figure it out, and defense aside, including, shh, hey, let's shit, what's going on. They had bad defense first 10 weeks of year last year, then they were able to figure it out. That feels weird. It takes that long to figure out a defense, maybe change the defense. But nonetheless, they weren't able to stop Patrick Mahomes on the offensive side of the ball. Lamar Jackson exited the game down 17 in third quarter because he had an injured hamstring. I will say, I was this on the Red Zone channel. We're still all watching you, right?

Yep, yep. Oh, yeah. And Scott Hanson basically said, Lamar Jackson with no medical officials around them. 17 points, third quarter, I don't know what's going on there. Then he followed up like two minutes later was like, we're getting reports from the local CBS that he has a hamstring strain, which is why he was not in there. So Lamar Jackson led way to Cooper Cush to get in there and do his thing. What are the Ravens right now? We shall see joining us, ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL insider for ESPN, Adam Schifter.

Yeah, Jeffty, sorry we made you wait there. The first 15, obviously drawing out longer and longer every single week. We will certainly respect your time. Sorry, we did not. Not the first 15, it's the first 50. You've got to change in the first 50 now, Pat. Yeah, but that's not a football. Football does first 15.

Yeah, first 15. Yeah, first 15. On that note, in the first 15 of any play, would be, let's see what's up with Lamar Jackson. What have you heard? Because that was kind of an interesting rollout for those of us that didn't have sound on the game, but we were maybe listening somewhere else. He had a hamstring strain as how it was being reported, but he didn't look like he was in a lot of pain on the sideline. He's tough as hell, we understand that.

What is the story out of Baltimore, and what are your thoughts? Well, hamstrings are something they evaluate during the week, and here's the issue for Lamar Jackson. if he is able to play right now, and I don't know that they know if he's able to do that right now. Certainly, he'll be compromised. One of the strengths of his game, one of his superpowers, is his ability to run around, make things happen, be elusive. And if he's got a balky hamstring, that's an issue for this upcoming week. They play the Houston Texans who have some ferocious pass-rushing defensive ends. They're noted for their defense.

They shut out the Titans yesterday, which Cam Ward didn't particularly like and enjoy, but nevertheless, it's a tough Houston defense. So this is the kind of thing where I don't know if Lamar could have gone back in the game yesterday if it were close, but it wasn't. They left him out, and we'll have an idea as this week unfolds, but hamstrings certainly are never fun to have, particularly for somebody

like Lamar Jackson. See, but I'll ask you this. If he has a hurt hamstring, he has the number one passerating, I think, in the history of the NFL with his arm. If he has a hurt hamstring, will there be less people in the box or there's more people in coverage, or how does that kind of affect his, what defenses will do with him

if he has a strained hamster? No, what you've been seeing defenses do now is kind of have that spy and just be more disciplined in their rush lanes. And if eight is on the field, you expect him to be eight. You know what I mean? You still don't expect him to be a statue in the pocket. So I feel like you still have to call it that way because if Lamar is playing, I feel like Lamar is playing,

he's going to be healthy. Okay, let's go to the New York Giants. Obviously, we did some research. I assume you have as well. Hembo sent us over a bunch of stats and we've been scouring the internet. MetLife Stadium is obviously been home to a lot of injuries over there. Malik Neighbors who's obviously electrifying

and Giants fans were putting him as in the top pantheon of wide receivers in the NFL already and he's just a couple years in. Obviously from wide receiver you down there at LSU. An absolute beast on the field. Teres' ACL is what the fear is yesterday on MetLife and then you go through the history

of MetLife. I think they changed their turf in the last couple years. I forget they went from one particular brand of turf to another branded turf. That turf was supposed to be more like grass because they understood that they had a little bit more injuries and issues than literally everywhere else. Now, this is still happening. So, Shephti, what is the conversation about the MetLife turf? Because anytime this happens, obviously turf-first grass conversations come up.

We heard Josh Allen literally two weeks ago with us talk about the new Buffalo Bill Stadium. And he said, we got grass. That was a big deal for him. It's a big deal for players. Will this neighbor's injury spur anything? And what are you hearing out of the New York Giants facility? Well, they did redo the field in March of 23. And so it was, what, two and a half years ago that they put in a new field turf field at that point in time.

You see the list of players there that have gone down. I'm sure there are a lot of players that have gone down in every stadium. It just feels like that stadium. I don't know. It does feel like we get more. And I'm with Josh Allen. I think everybody's with Josh Allen. You saw the tweet yesterday, I think it was from Odell Beckham Jr.

other players feel the same. Look, it's pretty simple. There's the tweet. Dear NFL, I mean this with the utmost love and respect, take the precautions that we're all with everything else when it comes to players help and safety. Please, please, please get rid of the turf. Thank you in advance. I think he speaks for a lot of people. It shouldn't be that hard to put in grass. How much of neighbor's injury is because of the sir. Who knows? I don't have to answer that other than there seemed to be a high number of injuries on that MetLife field that forced them to change the turf, but like they change it. And Aaron Rogers goes down and tears his Achilles in the first game right after that happens.

Yeah. Is that the turn, I don't know. I don't want to say about it, Pat. I'd be curious if a doctor has any concerns, but the number of players, it's too long to ignore. It's too long to ignore. Yeah, well, Shepty, that's the thing. There'll be a doctor that comes out and says that this turf is definitely problematic.

It's not just the turf. It's the cement that's underneath of it. And there's really no room to give for any of your joints and what bodies are supposed to do. Now, it's not every joint. It's not every ligament. But some body's the way they are built. Obviously, going to have this reaction on this particular turf. Then you have some other doctor come out and say, we've done the research.

There's actually different parts of the turf during different parts of the season. And it's like some turf is actually better than grass. So now, how do you add that in? I think just every player that's ever spoke has said, we'd like grass. And then we see what Arizona is able to do. And now with Buffalo's getting grass up there and keeping grass up there, it's like there should be no excuse with the technology. And then on the MetLife conversation, they're hosting a World Cup.

Yeah, with grass. Uh-oh. Yeah, but that grass is just kind of stapled on top of the. So like JJ Watt, who's soccer owner, two teams, says, hey, some of the grass that they just put on top of this, not good either. Like that is not what any of us want. I don't know what the right answer is. Seems like everybody likes grass.

Hopefully they'll be able to do that. Let's go to another team that had a massive injury, and maybe you have an update. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Shephty, any word on what's going on with Joe Alt? Obviously, the Chargers, that was tough yesterday, but their O-line is so beat up. And at this point, you know, like how big of a cause of concern

is that for them going forward? Well, he went down, and I'm just over to a text that I got about it yesterday. But basically, he wanted to go back in, and they told him no. He didn't want to accept that, you know, a high ankle spring usually limits you and prevents you for playing for a couple of weeks. But he's going to get a second opinion today. They'll look at it again, high ankle spring for offense and tackles not easy. Look, here's the deal.

A high ankle spring, if you're the chargers and you see Joe Alt carted off yesterday, you feel fortunate that he has a high ankle spring. You don't want any of your players to get up. But when he goes down, you don't know whether it's a knee, whether it's a broken ankle, dislocated. It can be anything that ends this season. They've already lost Roshan Slater in training camp to a Twain-Patel attendant. So they lose

their starting left tackle. They move all to the left tackle. He goes out of the game. Now you're down your two best tackles, one of whom is the highest paid offensive tackle in the National Football League in Roshan Slater, even though he's not playing another who has a chance to be the highest paid one day. It might just be

as good as any left tackle in the game today in Joe also. That is brutal if they're without him and herbert paid the price for it yesterday they struggled to protect him he got hit an awful lot um it's going to be hard to win consistently without joe but it doesn't sound like he's going to miss a lot of time brian burns with the incredible spider man's and then this at the end is an incredible display of flexibility how how what is his dims do we hear what his dims are he six five two 40 up 240 250 is what i remember he's way too big to be

able to move that smooth down into that that is unbelievable but on that note that giant's D-line okay not a good time to be down offensive lineman who's actually Dexie almost crib that thing yeah I mean that was unbelievable I can't believe he got tacked with like the two yore I felt so bummed out for him you know these big guys these massive guys especially Hall of Fame type guys having a touchdown instead you're done at the three thought Herbert like football what you yeah kind of ruined it didn't he sure let him have that well let him tackle but uh but Dexy moving like that dart and dable on the offensive side do the giants have a little bit of hope bruce we have

hope right now oh you're muted oh yeah we are all the way back competitive football is back in the giants world shades of mahomes shades of josh allen shades of ken stabler from the young jackson dart i'm fired up what about scottabo what do you think about scotaboo he's like an all-stot meets yeah he's he's absolutely unbelievable the duo of them him him lead blocking for dart on the qb i so it's just a thing of beauty Look at the future of the giant chef. He looked like you had something to say about the future over there. But listen, Cam Scadabotabot looks like John Riggins.

You got Jackson Darley's Brown. He's positive juice, although he's taking way too many hits yesterday. But here's the issue. And I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer here. But when you go out and lose Malik Navors, you're talking about a transcendent talent. He is as good as anybody in the game at what he does. And there's no way that you could lose a guy like that and not have it impact your team

for the final 13 games of the season. It's just brutal to see that happen the way it did. And I hope he's okay. Get some time to rest now. He'll need surgery in that ACL. But, you know, Jackson Dart was great. Cam Scadaboo's been great, but they just lost this guy. You know, it reminds me of when the Jets

beat the bills on opening day in the game in which Anna Rogers towards Achilles and all the jet fans are all excited they won the game and Xavier Gibson returns the punt in overtime for the game winning score

you win the battle you lose the war the Giants lost the war yesterday they lost this guy whoa they just started I think in the Jackson Dart era on that note Malik

we do tease and peas the game's going to miss them especially if we're going to have more eyes on these Giants games than we have in the last year and a half I understand New York a lot of people watching them out here

no I ain't ever watching it Nope. I ain't ever seen. So everybody tells me about Malik Neighbors how great he is, and I assume that he is, and yes, I've seen his highlights, but I haven't watched like a full Giants game in a long time. With that being seen, Jackson Dart and Dayball, getting after Scadaboo, we got Burns doing a Spider-Man Giff out there.

I hope Malik Neighbors comes back sooner than ever before, but I think we shouldn't just give up hope on his team immediately, because he'll pound that rock, it feels like. Well, Dayball will remain committed to Scataboo and Jackson Dart Isso Powers. 40, 50 times. We shall see. Bruce, that's the entire question. Yeah, we need a lot of 12 personnel, maybe some 22 personnel. Maybe, you know, we get Tyrone

and Tracy back. We go a little 32 personnel. Three running backs in the backfield, running the ball, 40, maybe 50 times a game. 13 to 20, 111 passing yards. Let's lose our minds. I'm on your side, Dart. Keep it rolling, brother. Tees and P's, the Malik neighbors. Let's talk about a situation that could be brewing a little bit.

Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Chefty, I was watching the lines and Browns yesterday, and one thing stood out to me, and we love Joe Flakoo. Okay? He has not been good. I believe he is last in the NFL in completion, last in touchdown, second in interceptions. Once again, we love Joe Flacco. But is there a point where Dylan Gabriel and the Browns, they're going to get a chance to see what they have in maybe those two rookie quarterbacks or one, whatever the situation is? Kevin Spansky said that's not how he's thinking right now, but I think everybody could see at some point in time that Dylan Gabriel is going to get a chance here to play. I don't know whether it's a couple of weeks away or a month away, but at some point in time, they're going to go to Dylan Gabriel and give him a shot to see what he can do.

They've got two first-round draft picks, and they've got to figure out, you know, what, if anything Dylan Gabriel can do. They've got to figure out about Shadour. They've got to take a look at these guys. And the offense is just really struggled. The only part of the season, just really struggled. And the defense is playing at such a high level that we saw the spark that, we saw the spark that, that the Giants got from going to Jackson Darden. Now, I'm not telling you that Dylan Gabriel is the same thing.

But at some point in, you go to a rookie, everybody gets excited. Then sometimes reality sets in, and it's not as exciting. But initially, you're going to get a spark that the guy can play well, then maybe you found something. At some point in time, I think Cleveland will make that move, but Stapaski has not let on that he's thinking about making that move anytime soon so far. Never wanted to make that move. Wanted to go on a run with Flacko like they did a couple years back.

for whatever reason, it seemingly not clicking like it did before. I like to see Jerry Jee dancing in pain. Yeah. I like to see Jerry Jue doing his thing. I also wonder if Stefansky has to watch Dylan Gabriel against that defense every day. I don't think so. Yeah, I don't know if this guy's ready yet.

I don't know if he's ready yet. He'll be tested, though, whenever he gets in there. And then obviously the Shador Sanders conversation, if Joe Flacco gets removed, all of a sudden now, hold on now, wait a minute. If he was on another team, he'd be playing already. Well, I did hear that. There's probably a couple of teams

where he would be out on the field. Obviously, there's been some injuries and things like that. Quarterbacks early on that note. Do we have another controversy potentially brewing? Go ahead, Conman. Yeah, Shephti, of course, Brock Purdy is making $250-plus million and all those things go into the decision when you are picking who's starting that quarterback. But it didn't look good for the Niners.

It didn't look good for Brock. A couple drops, key drops that weren't his fault, but it still was just ugly for the Niners all day. What are we looking at here with Mack Jones and Brock? Brock Purdy. Is this going to go on for a couple weeks, or do you get the sense that this isn't even a thought? Mac Jones will not play as long as Brock Purdy is healthy. Well, here's the issue right now. Brock Purdy is dealing with some toesorness after the game yesterday. And they have a short week. And so I, you know, we'll see whether or not he's

going to be able to get back out there. But I think it's a question in light of Thursday night. And he's not the only one. You got Ricky Pearsall right now. He's got a strain PCL. He's going for further testing today. We'll see if he's going to miss any time. Jouan Jennings came in after Ricky Pearsall went down and caught a two-point conversion and got laid out

and I'm watching the game with the guys in the room, Randy Moss and Rex Ryan and Teddy Bruske and Alex and they're like oh, ribs, broken ribs. I'm like, and Jouan was down. And all of a sudden he's in on the next play. It was incredible. And they took him to the medical tent. He couldn't get into the medical tent. He goes

pierceal is in there. So that's kind of like what the 9th season's been. Like that. No, occupancy. That's not good for the team. No, it's not. We're at two beds in there? No, we're at max capacity here. Sorry. Medical tent? That's not a good thing for your team. Rove some dirt on it. Get your ass back out there. Sorry, we don't have enough room. We're doing

enough tests over here at baseline. You sold he did. Jeez. Zaire Franklin had his knee buckle yesterday was back. They took a timeout, then he was back like the next play. I thought he was going to be. That looked like it really went down. He continued to play. Micah. Last night, yeah. mess with his back.

Oh, yeah, when he he did that back bump. Yeah. Jaylorams, he had a fake hamstring, and then he had a real hamstring, and then he tried to come back, but I think, you know, he actually did hurt it eventually.

Yeah, he did the fake hammy into the gritty, I saw. Which, by the way. What? What a celebration. I mean, that is one of the best ones out there. I thought you were going negative. You were actually going positive. I saw a couple Irish jigs by a couple people.

Feels like massive success over there in Ireland, yes? Yeah, and that was great. It was, look, you knew it was going to be a great success, and you knew that the people there would support it and cheer for it and that was always going to be the inevitable result and they played a good game. So yeah, they'll be back in Ireland again, I'm sure.

They announced last week they'd be back in Brazil or wherever we're they're spreading. Shafty, that was awesome. Somewhere. We just saw the computer glitch there for a second. Shit, was it Brazil? Was it Spain? Germany? Shit.

They were going everywhere. Yes, congrats Ireland. If you'll take another game, they will come in the world. Yeah, I agree. Australia's on deck. That's crazy. There's, you know, some seats that seemingly are getting pretty hot. College has already been guys fired.

Yep. Okay, the NFL there has not. Debutt has a question for you. Yeah, we saw the number one pick, Cam Ward, speak after the game and show his obvious frustration with what's going on. Already O-N-4 right now. Callahan looks like he's been pissed off since the season has started. Are you expecting any change there?

I'm not calling for anybody's job, But are you expecting any change there, the head coaching position, the Tennessee Titans? They haven't won, a lot of unhappy people there. Again, you give these answers to some of these teams thinking, like the Giants, I think the phrase we use at that point in time, no sense of urgency to trade to change quarterbacks. They'll lose two games. They change quarterbacks. I think I would say the same thing about the Tennessee Times. They're not looking to change coaches right now.

Now, I think everybody could agree that they're going to have to turn things around and play better. Otherwise, they're going to be changes. And they're not planning and wanting to do anything right now. But if losing like that continues and you've got your number one pick coming out and saying the things he does, that's an issue. That's a red flag. And we'll see how they decide to handle it. They prefer not to have to do anything anytime soon. They'd like to let the season play out.

But let's see if they come up with a few more losses like yesterday where they got changed. shut out in Houston and looked inept on offense. Congrats to the Texans. That had to be huge for them, obviously, with everything going on. Titans, that Callahan guy and Paul Kuharski is already good. Love it. That's already, they're already at a batten at 1,000. Nashville is such a great city. I assume that job would be very much desirable.

Especially if you believe in Cam. And I do. After every answer he gives, I believe in them more. For sure. I believe in a more down there. Okay, let's look to tonight. We only have two minutes, Chefty. On that note, Connor was bringing up this morning when we were off air a little bit.

Like, what if Miami has a terrible performance here in prime time? What does that mean for the future there? Is there anything we should look at tonight's storyline-wise? Yeah, I think Miami's in a similar spot to Tennessee. They're not winning. They're not playing great. The coach is coming under question, but they want to remain patient too. Now are they going to lose two more games in a row still winless and helicopters with banners flying?

Again, that's not what they want to do. It's not what they're planning to do. we'll see how tonight goes against the New York Jets who get back Justin Fields coming out of concussion protocol should be a boost for their offense second game we got a Broncos team that's really struggled that's that's had the lead for the majority of the last two games in the fourth quarter they lost against the cults they lost against the chargers they easily won both games and he didn't so now they'll be coming home to fain angles team that's coming off as bad a game the team has played this year with Jake Browning, a quarterback.

They're trying to get back on track. So we got four teams tonight, four teams tonight that are really trying to make something happen and get something done and get these seasons turned around before it's too late. Tonight's consummate pretender or consummate contender for the rest of the season. We find out at 7.15 on ESPN and 815 on ABC. Monday night football doubleheader. We appreciate the hell out of you.

AFC East, Jets and Dolphins clash as the Dolphins are two and a half-point favorites head home. Remember, down there in Miami, 150% humility. Yeah. Okay, so no matter what the jets are prepared for, it's going to be hard to battle against the weather. Will the dolphins battle at all? Let's go to one half of the hammer. Down! Cowboys, Bubble Gumpino.

Gumpy. I know the Dolphins sent you a nice jacket today. How do we feel about going into prime time? The Dolphids are on prime time tonight. Monday night football. Take it on the Jets. How do you feel? I feel great.

No moral victories tonight. You got to win. You got to do it. Darren's back. First game. Boys are buzzing. Dolphins get it done. You've been talking about Darren

playing on Monday night for about a week and a half now. Seems like you're excited about the addition of him. Maybe that opens some stuff up for that offense with Tua, talking to Volo, especially when he's that athletic. Can you showcase that jacket a little bit because I want to let people know that Gumpy was almost out on the Dolphins.

Remember he was going to buy just an NFL hat? He wasn't going to actually have an actual team. I don't know if the Dolphins heard about that or if the Dolphins created this. They sent him up a leather jacket. They said, don't you leave us Gumpch? Need you go. Now's not that time.

Derek, they even said in the letter, Darren Waller's playing. He's playing in my name. And Gumpy's all the way back. I appreciate that. That's good ball. Toxic Table at Boston Conner. AFC East, obviously,

battling tonight. Nice to see you guys get showcased at 715. Yeah, no. This is kind of the game that everyone says, like, oh, man, I wish I was in the AMCEs. These teams suck. Yeah, that is kind of the narrative after these types of games for a lot of divisions, more specifically, the AFC East, especially because the Patriots had it for 25 years. Buffalo Bills currently have Josh Allen and the MVP. So the Dolphins who spend all that money on that offense, a new head coach and quarterback, you know, just trying to look up at them. But what if they aren't looking up? What if you're looking up at the Jets, too, you know, and everything else? That would be a tough go, Ty Schmidt.

Especially for your Packers coming out, you know, Thai ball game last night. It'd be better than getting your ass's beat on primetime, no? Yeah, maybe, but I think more so, like, if you're just a fan in general, like, NFL's got to stop doing this. Like, I see what you're doing, okay? It's like, you know what? We're going to give them too shitty Monday night football games.

Maybe to kind of cloud their, like, you know, instead of saying, like, this game sucks. The Bengals at the Broncos. It's terrible. It's terrible. It's terrible. It's terrible. And preseason it look good.

But again, we've been talking about this. Like, if you have the ability, now, I get it. It's very early to flex. I don't think they're allowed. I think it's week seven. I don't think they are either. So in an alternate reality.

That needs to be a change. Because, like, I'm almost to the point where it's like, you know what? I don't even know if I want to watch either one of these kids. You're going to protest? I'm not going to protest. It's just like I would maybe rather just like smack my putt around and do nothing than watch either one of these games. Now, granted, it's football. It's on TV.

It's five hours. I will watch it. This is five hours of football tonight. He's talking about Pud beating. It is better that they put both on almost pretty much the same time. I do appreciate that. And not the 7 and 10 start-in-cut your. Yeah, exactly.

Hey, what are you doing until 1-30 tonight? I know what you're doing. You're watching two shitty Monday night football games. No, no, that's not what they're doing. Well, they're not. They're saying, listen, we can't, you know, we can't waterboard these people for six hours tonight. Let's split these games up, you know, 30 minutes apart from each other. We'll be done with it.

And then we'll move by. this last year, it was perfect. Yeah. Rated half time of the first game. The second game goes, now you've got a March Madness type thing happening. There's more NFL. It's good experience. Bengals Broncos, though, beginning of the season. Yeah, great game. This was supposed to be a great game. They can't flex yet. I know. Okay, so you're just saying, well, why don't they just pull a trigger and stop being soft and saying we're getting new games out there? They're not even allowed to. There should be a clause, though. It's like,

hey, if Joe Burrow gets hurt, like, starting quarterback. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Fuck Jake Browning. I don't want to watch him on Monday night football. Respectfully. Respectfully. Very respectfully. Because he can sling the pill. I know he can.

How'd I would do this weekend? Don't give me to do. This was, and it shouldn't have been. It really shouldn't have been. Man, I just, at my age, I don't know why I'm getting so emotionally invested and so mad at the outcomes of these games. You called me on Saturday. Immediately. As Mendoza is running out of the back of the end zone, clock is at zero for a while.

Could have went down at, I think, the 20. 15, 10, 5, or the two, even. Instead, it goes all the way out the end of the end. At his safety, yeah, two, one, could go down any of these times. It would be the same result. Massive negative rushing amount for your entire offense. Massive negative rushing amount for Fernando Mendoza, and also the other team gets two points.

Now I'm going to go down at the 10. What's he doing? He could have went down at the five. There's so many times he could have went down. It was only two seconds. What they should have done, just sent out the punter. Basically, that's 1.4 seconds in the snap. We used to practice this.

I practiced this a couple of times. Snap for punt, turn around, run, throw as high and far as possible. Because clock doesn't stop until ball hits ground or whatever, you know? So I thought in the conversation, I didn't think of this. This was presented to me as an idea. And then once I got the idea, I was like, this is an incredible idea. So I get to throw this thing into the top, basically, because you're trying to throw this. As high and far as possible, because it doesn't stop until it hits something.

We did it at training camp, and we had nothing behind it. It was just another practice field. I crow hopped into this thing, threw it. Maybe my best throw of my entire life. Tight spiral. Look like an absolute cannon. Goes down. Six seconds, maybe.

Six seconds plus the four, five, six. Fifteen seconds, I think, in total, from snap to me running to throwing is what we could have eaten up. I think just the Hail Mary throw off the side of the thing is like seven, eight seconds. is what they like. Two seconds, there was no reason to run all the way that far. Especially when you've got a guy on your, like, can you imagine if he punches that ball out and they score a touchdown? Like, I mean, he closed it pretty quick there.

He just wanted to touch the paint. He did. He did. In Iowa, look at me. Yeah, exactly. You know, waiting a minute, kids do the entire thing. Indiana gets another win. They might be the best team in the country.

They're not. Look out. They might be no one pick. They win at Kinnick. They're not. He's not, and they're not. Let's stop doing this right now. He may live here.

They got to Oregon in a couple weeks, right? Yep. Yeah, we'll see. What do you mean? We'll see. I mean, they ain't going to be played. I thought Iowa was supposed to be the team. Grinowski.

He got a He's a winner. Well, he got hurt. And they had to bring in Hank fucking Brian to save the day. And he looks like he's eight years old. He didn't cut it. But no, I mean, Indiana's good. They are. There's no two ways about it.

But it's the same deal. Like, there are just levels in the Big Ten. That's what we talked about. It's like, there are those teams in the real upper echelon. That are making it in the playoffs and stuff? Exactly. And then there's everybody else. Indiana's not, I mean, we remember what happened last year.

They make it to the playoffs. They get fucking embarrassed by Notre Dame. Sig, love the guy, tucked his tail, was punting a bunch, didn't do it all year. Like, just got embarrassed on the national stage. If they make it again, like, for sure. I'm just saying, like, there are levels to this shit. I don't like what you said about Sig. You made any of those things, but you want to hear.

Well, we just talked about it. It's fresh. It is. it is and I you know going in I get it I told him we can we just pump the brakes on the Sigs bear Bryant for a second okay it beat I old by five all right let's not but but look at what they did Illinois and then Illinois beats USC and everyone's saying how good USC is it's like there are four teams in the big 10 who are really good and then there's just everybody else Ohio State number one team Oregon Miami Ole Miss I mean I like Oklahoma there

A&M, Penn State, IU, Texas, Alabama, rounded out. I love what college football has been doing. It's the best. It is been a great season thus far. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen,

is the man who's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Rotter Cup winner. He's also a Hoffnome. That's a Hall of Fame nominee. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Hoffn himself, A.J. Hawke. What's up, Hoff? How you doing, brother? You don't think, old buddy, they didn't tell him to go down?

They didn't want that safety right there? Sig, now we go to safety on the books? Why would we ever do this? He's going to look at that. Watching this in real time was a bit scary. I'm not going to lie. It was pretty scary. You thought that guy was going to catch him?

Or what you just thought? I just thought like there's so many things that could go wrong. I'm just telling him to get down for 20 yards until, yeah. That was wild. Can he see the clock? There had to be a clock somewhere in that end. When that thing hits zero, you're good. You can just kind of go down.

Negative rushing yard, offense line coach, not going to like that. Obviously, he's going to have to run. a lot to get back into the green this year as a whole. I mean, that's 40-some yards. I don't know if Mendoza's getting there. No way. I don't know if he's getting there. Back that part about it. He doesn't care about the stats. Whatever it takes to win. Yeah, maybe he was laughing

the whole time. Maybe he's mic'd up. Exactly. Maybe he's laughing at him the whole time and that's why he was doing it and then once we hear it, it'll make sense. I will say he is impressive. He's a tough son of a bitch. He stands in there and takes massive hits and still like I was very impressed with Mendoza.

There's a chance. He's the number one overall pick. like that is very very real especially with his football IQ what everybody's saying if he's able to do well during the combine era it depends on who has the number one pick I guess or who needs a quarterback but if you're like a system place that needs accuracy and a guy that plays on rhythm and knows what defenses are doing which there's still a lot of those offenses in the NFL there's a chance that he wins over

everybody especially if he wins the Hizman what's his dims how big is he's tall he's like six five two 30 yeah he's big boy he's from 2001 yeah you know like but he He's in South Florida kid too Okay He's got grit I'm in He's got a little job

So I was surprised How big Drew Allen was He came to next to you I saw him play But like when he came to I'm like that I didn't like that I also like the fact

That he said he would hand a ball off 30 times if that means they would win In this world of NIL And exposure and everything You want to run up the numbers That is a terrible ending For him against Oregon No

That is the worst case scenario There for Drew Aller In that Penn State team AJ I got a chance to experience that feel that? Did you do that? Did you do one you said? Yeah, I got beat in a white out before you. That's a pretty electric environment, I would say. The place goes

straight up, you know, so it's very, very loud and those fans, they know what they're doing. That's kind of my takeaway as well, is like I was down in Tennessee, they had $1,2,000, I think. Obviously, I've had the opportunity to be in Michigan's Big House, $112,000, I think it's the biggest or whatever, and then there's other huge stadiums around.

This one felt more on top. It felt like a 65-70, thousand cedar if that makes sense normally the hundred thousand ones because there's so many people you got to take up a lot of space that one felt intimate almost in that dj in there a j i don't know what the rules are it was perfectly done as soon as as soon as the tackle happened it was clear that the person running the music new ball like hey plays over right to bang right now almost like timing up the tackle right into a song it was like the fans were in it so for them to not only come out victorious this oregon team but with standing

the battle and then to get a turnover like that so far away from home yeah so far yeah that flight so so far away in front of a completely hostile environment stanford steve stopped by the bus we hang out on the bus by the stadium uh i took a nap actually during the day while watching the games it was it was great on the bus to be honest stanford steve came over like two hours before the game kicked off he comes onto the bus and i go how is it out there and he goes absolute destruction he said it's pure chaos out there i go i go what do you mean he goes everywhere everybody intoxicated he said everybody it's a super positive everybody obviously having a good time but he said there's just it's seemingly

utter chaos yeah i was in the middle of it all i had no idea i was walking out the tunnel before the team a j look i'm right there i'm with the band right now i'm with the band we're doing a whole thing this is me and gumpy that's the athletic director pack craft obviously he's having a a time of his life. But yeah, they wanted, they provided me an opportunity to kind of experience it all over there. I was almost like I was a recruit.

Wow, they were trying to. Are you committed? I would, yeah, absolutely. Got a wrestling, I'm part of a wrestling team. I'm a national champion. I got a single. I went over to the volleyball team. Obviously, coach Katie, took care of me, and we had an absolute blast. It was nice to hit one, Donner. It's a good cue. Yeah, thank you.

Thank you. Pretty explosive. Yeah, that was the second one of the day. The first one happened let's say six seconds before that one was not really planned. I was just talking to Coach Katie while they're doing these drills. And I was like, can I hit one of these? Because I was watching the setter set. She's like absolutely grabs the ball. She goes, yo. And she just throws

it was like within a half a second. And I go out there. The first one, I also hit pretty good. Kind of woke everybody up in the gym. They're like, holy shit. What the hell is this? So then Coach Katie actually looks at Gumpy. He goes, we need a camera on this. Get a camera. Gumpy opens his camera as the ball's being tossed in there. Bang, it happens.

felt more athletic than I've felt in my entire life. Hat hits the net, though. So there was a lot of people, you know, a little bit of a net infraction, certainly out there. But that team was so cool, so hospitable. And Coach Katie, obviously learning her story at the SPs and then getting a chance to follow up with who she is. 1999 national champion won the first one for Penn State's women volleyball.

Also played on the basketball team whenever she was there. Now she's in the middle of this dynastic-like run, and everybody loves all the assistant coaches all have national championship. She hung three banners here. She's a two-time national champion here. That guy, yep, he's a national champion for some other school, but he's here. And then you talk about the athletic director, Pat Kraft. They want to win in it.

Hockey, they got the guy. Basketball, they're getting the people. For the volleyball team, there was a transfer from Florida. What was the guy's name? Revelle Martin. He was a receiver with the Packers. He coached for a few years. He had his daughter's 6'6 and transferred to Penn State.

Yeah, and I think her name's Kennedy Martin, maybe. and she's getting an NIL. She obviously has an NIL deal happening. She's unbelievable. She's crazy. She moves too. Like she very athletic. There was one rally, one run where she was a part of a block.

They'd have her on the weak side, which is the right side, which is opposite their power. So their best hitter is normally on that side. But when you have somebody who's six, six and as athletic as she is, it's like a pretty perfect setup. There was this one rally where she blocks it. Then they get it, they go to the other side. Then she goes over a part of like a triple. block and then it goes back over and then they sat her and she just it was

poetry in motion it was like clearly the best player but then you look around at the rest of the squad they got dogs everywhere I mean it was it was an honor to get to know them Patrick Ewing's daughter's on that team wow to a Joe Juravicious's daughters are on that team the rest of the school

it's and they are going for it and it's making a run at all sports bro and that was even more solidified this weekend you know I went and talked to the athletic director and Nicholas Paizan Nicholas and Pat Crafty AD the first time because their friends AQ knows them so I got a chance to chat with them and I'm like hearing them talk and I'm like wow this is this is what you want your athletic director saying former middle

linebacker he's all in we got alumni who have money they want to give us money like it's just my job to call him and say hey can we uh can we do this we need a renovation we need this player we need a hockey player we got a volleyball player we got another like that is what they're doing they're going all in on sports and uh that got even more solidified this weekend, that loss had to be heartbroken. Brutal. Would they ever get over though? Yeah, saw it coming, but brutal. Well, their fans would say the same thing.

Yeah, exactly. They were chaned fire Franklin after the 17-3 and Dan Lannings, you know, doing a little slush on the sideline. Like, it was an awesome little thing, really, but then, you know, unfortunately, the roller coaster comeback almost made it worse for them because then people get even

more mad because they think you should have won, even though you should have lost. It was, it was crazy. unbelievable game, though. D'anpe Moore's so good. So good of football. Drew Aller had that driver two where it's like, that's it right there. Just kind of let it loose. That's what you need. Dan Laning was juice.

Dan Laning was excited. That was awesome to see him after the game. He's about start crying out there because of how pumped he was for his boys. You know, that is how, I think he just views it as my boys. Like, that is how he views it all. He is so locked in. And for shoot, did get text from him during game day. Like, the fuck you doing?

Fair. I thought we were pretty nice to you guys, you know? But did you tell him? Like, hey, I'm staying here the rest of the day, man. I did actually tell him, yeah. I gave him, I let him know immediately. My brother, I'm going out the tunnel. I'm going out.

You can't stick around if I pick you guys. And also, the vibes here, I know you're in a hotel that's like 40 minutes away because there's not a lot of hotels and everything in there. The vibes here are insane. Like, it is, that place was lit from 4 a.m. all the way until midnight after that game. They're yearning for it, brother. Yeah.

That Oregon Ducks team, though, real deal. deal. Defensive side for both these guys, all of them. Oh, yeah. Just the look of all of them. They look professional. On TV, they look like a professional. They both sides of the ball. It's like the defenders, the way these dudes look, these D-Lyman that have weird numbers, like 28, 19 rolling. DJ U's brother, Mateo. Yeah, Ui Ungolale. Yes, he's unbelievable. And then I think Lavar Arrington's boy is wearing 11. He didn't play much, but he's like a freshman there. It's like, they are just like

they're becoming NFL factories these places. Yes. And these are what these schools who have a lot of support are going to continue to do, especially whenever they're all in. That was fun to be a part of. Stick City Beer, LeVar's Beer. I didn't know any of that was happening, by the way. Had to audible everything.

He says, he brings up a backpack, it looked like a cooler, just because I've seen that thing in the wild before, but I didn't know exactly. Then he had like a soft bag, and he was like, where should I put these? And we're like, what are they? You know? And he opens a softback and it's that linebacker you chain i'm like oh shit he's like i'm going to put that

on with it i was like all right i'll hold it for you right here because we didn't have anything so i was holding that and i saw the cooler still i didn't know we had another gimmick still and when he brought those beers out i'm like brilliant this is genius you own this yep yep absolutely genius commercial right here and he killed it yeah yeah he did he's great moxie and he killed it all so he has that he does that and then obviously he has a beer sitting right in front of me it's like, Lovar Arrington is offering me a beer right now. I'm going to have a beer with Lavaar Arrington if I have the opportunity. I grew up in Pittsburgh during the era in which Lavaar was.

Yeah. Outrageous, AJ. You're talking about one of the freakiest athletes of all time, legitimately all time, AJ. Oh, yeah. Like, I guess the younger generation might not know of it, but the iconic jumping over the center to hitting the quarterback. Like everything Lovar did. He was ahead of his time, I guess, with how athletic he was back in the day

and how he can move and what he did, man. He was a special, special player. I felt real comfortable there talking shit to him. You know, that was certainly a decision. He was a little pissed off before he even hit it over, too. I don't know. You guys were all white. He didn't feel the positive vibe.

What are you talking about? You're talking about me? No, Levar, when he was speaking to, I think, Jess, right before he headed to the stage, right before the commercial break. Yeah, he said, we weren't talking positive? Yeah, what was that all about? He's drawing up stuff.

I said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't know if my mic was on. We've said nothing but positive things. We actually have texts from the other side telling us that we need to maybe clean it up a little bit but that place was packed and drinking the beer with them certainly came out of nowhere. The shirt ripoff

was decided about halfway through when I realized how obvious it was that the jacket was not as white as over the last year. You know, that was a decision in there. But the beer was spectacular. Thanks for the hospitality and they still got everything in front of them, AJ. They still got

everything in front of them. So do all the teams in the NFL, no matter how bad your start has been. It's only week five. You have no idea what your team can become. I'm sorry, we're wrapping up tonight. You have no idea what your team can become. AJ, if you have a tie on your record, you might as well just punted the entire week.

Have you heard the thought on the golden boot that I pitched in the first hour? Maybe have a snap hold kickoff. Debutt actually said get the whole field goal team and field goal block team out there for these, especially with how good guys and teams have become in blocking these kicks. But what I'm saying here is here is an electrifying

opportunity to determine a winner in a sport that is supposed to represent our country in which we like winners and losers either or can't be tied no we just can't do that a j your thoughts on golden boot and also the game last night as a whole both offenses looked very good deck prescott might be having his best season this guy is outrageously good in the conversation goes from deck is letting down the dallas cowboys to now i think it's like are the dallas cowboys letting down deck like this That is the conversation about how good he is. And then George Pickens obviously has an immense evening as C.D. Lamb was down. Shout to GP doing his thing in primetime for his new team. And then Jordan Love, same exact situations. Josh Jacobs, obviously awesome. Golden, new star in the making in the NFL as a whole. Sick number.

He takes a spin move shot to the face that I thought he was going to be down for. He pops right up. This dude's insanely tough. He ran a 4-2? Yes. He ran a 4-2. He's taking that shot, doesn't lose the ball, and get it. rate up and also offering to punt return running 4-2. It's like that's a special talent.

I think both offenses were showcased and then Micah Parsons makes a play that saves the game at the end. Is this exactly what we should have expected from this game, AJ? I mean, it's not exactly what I expected to see. I didn't see expect to see all of this offense, all of these points being scored. But I think both these teams are solid. I really do. I think Dak was awesome. He was on time. He was so good. Got rid of the ball. We know like Michael was after him all night, finally got to him. But George Pickens, I think, kind of having a breakout game for the Cowboys. It has to go a long way for not only George, but the whole offense. So, yeah, I mean, Ty said what? The Packers, it feels like they're bipolar. It might

be a little truth to that, but maybe that's some of their inexperienced, some of their youth showing, I guess. It might take them some more time to be more consistent, but that's what everyone's going for to, like consistently week in and week out to put out there to play quality ball both on offense and defense. It's really hard to do. So what do you think about ties. That was our number five headline from the first 15. Your thoughts on ties as a whole? McManus huge kicks last night. Same with Aubrey. It shouldn't happen in the NFL.

It shouldn't have. I know the regular season. Do they claim it's player safety, right? They don't have like a four overtime game, so it's a player safety thing. I think all players would be okay if we didn't have ties. If we figured it out, the Golden Boot, whatever it is, I think you should send, you should have the rush team and the block team out there. You should have

11 guys on either, both side of the ball, if you are to do this. And it would be sick because you know, Michael Parsons go block a kick to win this thing. Yeah. You know, yeah, there's a chance that he, especially if it's the third kick, like if they hit from 50, hit from 55, then they got to go to 60, offensive alignment. Yeah, gas.

They're about done with the ship. Yeah, they can be rolling in fresh rushers, too, on the field goal block, unless, you know, it could make the rules so you can't put. Now, on the note, we can definitely have a quarterback carnival as well if you want to wheel one out, you have the guys go through a carousel to figure out what the points are. But we can't be having a tie. A race? No.

Have them right. Just line up in 50-yard line up. Matthew Golden versus whoever, in fact, turpin. Team elects. That'd be wild. Team sends out their fastest. Yeah, and I think team standing. Yeah.

Right? I think it's a tunnel of the teams down there. And then you got obviously cameras down to 50. And then you got the beginning, how do they start? The 40-yard dash guy, guy from the Steelers. So old school, ready to go? Or two fatso's. Get the two fattest guys, slowest guys on the team.

Hey, you guys are running from the goal line to go-line. Hondas. Yeah. yeah yeah if i'd be off the next game yeah exactly that'd be cool chance but you know it'd be pretty we're all on the same page though we can't have ties right no i think everybody's on the same page here's what jerry jones had to say about the trade inevitably and how the game ended up one of his best sound bites of all time they got micha and we've got what we've got and we tie bingo and we died it's 4040 trade bro that's what it is and uh he told uh jason garrett in

football night in America as he was guessed as Michael was coming on the field. He said one guy or six guys, Jason, you fucking do the math. It's kind of what he said, kind of how he, and he said, I've always got the numbers right. So he's viewing this as a long game, and I think he was very gratified

that this game didn't end up in an L. Now, he will spin this as the greatest tie in history, if you think about everything that's happened. Obviously, most electrifying tie in the history of all sports is how he will pitch it. But the Micah Trade, obviously, I'm happy we're kind of past this game, AJ.

I think I'm kind of happy we're past it. I am too. And the walkout, everything about it just shows you like what Jerry does. And Mike, I know my kids are asking what that band was around his body, around his legs. You know, you see he has like his warm-up band. I don't know if he does that every game or not, you know, like that you do little like sidesteps and lunges

in the locker room usually to get loose. I don't know. Is that normal for him? That's the first time I've seen it on any human as well. He grabbed it there as he was jogging, so felt like he knew it was still on him. But that is potentially a chance where you put on the wrong shorts if you're a basketball player. Sure. And you forget that it's on there, especially with how strong you are.

Then you get up in front of 100,000 people. No fucking way. All right, act normal. Yeah, just got to go with it. But, I mean, I can't imagine the shit that was going through his head at that moment, been the place you've been, spent four years, you know, obviously you still got your suite there. Still got a bunch of family and friends there. You know all eyes are on you.

He's probably tired of hearing it from both sides talking about it. So just a lot in that moment to go out and then actually have to play a football game. Here's Michael Parsons afterwards from John Machota. Honestly, I think all the emotions for me being in Dallas won away the moment they traded me. I hate them. I didn't even get to talk to my owner, the person that drafted me. I found out through my agent, okay, so they did talk. So to me, that emotion side was pointless because the same way he called me into his office as a man,

he couldn't tell me as a man. So to me, that emotion side was gone. It was more about respect factor at this point. we also learned last night in the kickoff show that once the trade was kind of happening I guess Micah told Molagetta or reach out to Jerry to see if we can get a deal done and Jerry said that ship has sailed brother

I'm getting a bunch of picks I will see you later that was kind of broken last night I don't think I remember that in the story do you no I don't I thought last night was first time I heard it yeah that felt like pretty big news especially throughout the entirety I don't know how we didn't get that until now I thought we heard in the morning I'm not sure I was watching a lot but

Didn't Jay basically put this whole thing together? Jay Glazer? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I did. He connected all the dots. Okay. Another story we chatted about in the first hour is the NFL's bubbling in Dublin, AJ. Pittsburgh Steelers get a huge win.

Aaron looked happy and very good against a fully Carson Wentz experienced Minnesota Vikings team. What are your thoughts on the game in Ireland? And Greg Olson was awesome, and so is D.K. And so is Justin Jefferson. I like that we're force-feeding the stars, AJ. Yeah, you should. We need to. I mean, I'd throw the ball of D.K. as much as you possibly can. This play was really cool to see all of it. The interaction, Tom went on the sideline. Aaron, you see how it juiced everybody was. It was cool to see, uh, you know, TJ show up and have a big day in Ireland as well. And you're right. You guys talked a little bit about the grass. What is Ireland doing that? They actually had a field that was, uh, actually kind of held up compared to others over there. Hey, they got some right. They know grass over there. This shot, I think, is what you were talking about being historic. Obviously, Aaron looked happy. You look. me enjoying it. In this throat of Metcalf, this felt like a younger Aaron. That was a strike

in a window, hitting obviously a superstar. And a lot of people are saying that's Jordy Nelson all day right thing. That looked like shades of when he had Jordy. And this is just early in the season still. There's a chance that DK and Aaron only continue to grow. That offense looked a lot better than I think I expected it to look or any Steelers fan probably expected it to look. Yeah, it was awesome because it was kind of different. Like they got D.K. going early in the broadcast talked about a lot how he wasn't just lining up at X. He was lined up in the slot. He was lining up at Z. So they were moving him all around. The defense didn't know

exactly where they were going to be. They brought in the six tackle 15 times and they ran for like 85 yards on those 15. And then they had the extra tight end darn out Washington which is basically a seventh-o alignment a lot. They ran the ball so well with game well. And then Aaron, like Aaron is so good

at getting out of bad situations. Like that's the big difference between this year and last year is getting out of bad situations, not taking terrible sacks. But then also getting seven on the board in the red zone instead of kicking three every single time. How did you feel about the defenses, Dee, bud? The defense, I like them.

I expected more, a little something different from Brian Flores and that defense, I expected. But, I mean, Aaron Rogers got the ball out quick as he has since 2016. I think I saw a stat from NextGen stat, like 2.7 seconds, average time to throw, which has been the fastest in damn near 10 years. So that is kind of how you counteract what Brian Flores does, pre-end, post-snap, just get the ball out of your hands, get it into the playmaker's hands.

And then Pittsburgh's defense, I think it was Greg who was talking about how they are a splash play defense. They leave on turnovers, tips and overthrows, sacks, interceptions, force fumbles, all those different things. You saw it, you know, all day long. T.J. Watt with another pick. I don't know how he's just always around the ball. Got on a prestigious list, 100 sacks, eight interceptions. I think it's only a handful of guys who have gotten on that list throughout the history of the NFL. So big time win for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yeah, allegedly, you know, you guys know defense. a lot better than me, but the way also was breaking it down is they baited Carson into throwing that ball into the middle. T.J. probably had a good sense that that ball was coming to the middle. Is that accurate? Yeah, Gaelic football. A great point I think Greg made by just knowing the shell of your defense, like where are the open guys going to be and it's going to be across the middle. So just getting those hands up. You saw with Max Crosby, he got Caleb with it in a different game Bears, Raiders. But right here, yeah, that's, I mean, that's T.J. White football. completely. It's Pittsburgh Steelers football, but T.J. Watt is obviously the driver.

I mean, but it's great. If they were actually setting that up, like, hey, we're going to use this coverage. We know he's going to, Carson White. He's going to throw this thing right here. So if you just kind of venture over to the middle, you might be able to steal one here. They've talked about that. Or T.J. has studied that and known that it was going to be the case. That's the level of ball. That's the difference. Now, there are some players in college that are just incredible. There are some players that are immaculate at the sport of football, but they make a mistake that maybe cost them absolutely everything. We actually have a trailer to a documentary that's going to be debuting on Hulu tomorrow.

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the story. Chad Bowers. Son, it's time to face it, your football career is over. We're here on the grandest stage in American sports, Kirk. And for Russ Holiday, a chance to do something special. You were showboating, and you blew the game. They can't get them. This is insane.

Oh no, we did that yesterday. Georgia's picked the ball up. Georgia is going to win a championship. What was holiday thinking? It's time for you to move on. There's just one problem, Dad. I'm not done with football. South Georgia's having open tryouts.

I'm going to do a Mrs. Dalfire. But with football. You're here to tryout? What's your name? Jacket. And the last name? Is it? So you say I got a funny face.

Who's 200? That was one hell of a performance. Oh. It's been taking your helmet off. I'm gonna leave it all. Bye. You know, in this helmet, I feel strong. Mm-hmm.

Like a strong, powerful male. This isn't just football. This is packed team. Chad, why don't you remind the game day viewers where you're from? West Virginia. Stay away from. story and fact toys. And what part of West Virginia?

So if you go West and West Virginia, the West is the westest of the West. Marty's gonna get you. I like you. Bowers. That red rocket is big and dirty. You are a puzzle. Yeah? Personal hygiene is part of participating in a society.

I wish I could be in there, coach. I know you wish you could be in there too. I don't wish that. You were born for this moment. Every choice, every mistake. mistake carry you to this spot. Why are you helping me? Because no one is beyond second chances.

Power toward the end zone. Who the what the f*** is that guy? He's like extremely ugly. Russ was an asshole. Chad doesn't have to be. One, two, three, go. I'm sure it's a different quarterback with Frosted Tips.

in a cubic sirconia stud. Well, it's real. It's a blood dine. You verified that somehow. Whatever. We're gonna get wild, whoa, whoa, wow. That's available tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, Chad Powers.

Yeah, it's just Glenn Powell, it's Glenn. Glenn, go ahead, go to see you, Glenn, see you, dude. How are you guys doing? Okay, have you seen the entirety of the Chad Powers experience and how excited were you after filming to see what they inevitably made the movie into. Well, this is the first show that I've co-created.

So I've been on every step of this thing to make sure it's like made at the highest level. So, you know, we've got to shoot at real games. We're using real teams, you know, real uniforms, real helmets, the whole thing in terms of, you know, that's the beauty of getting to do this kind of with ESPN is like we're not saying it's like the San Francisco sharks. We're getting to use like real teams from the real NCAA. But this thing, for college football fans, this is made for college football fans. It checks out. It's head to toe legit.

Hard not to get the mannings, you know? Yeah, I was about to say, hard not to be corny, right? Probably, because I was listening to it. I was very worried, okay? As that trailer got sent over, two minutes and 30 seconds, I said, oh, no. I like all these parties involved. I like Peyton. I like Eli.

I like Glenn Powell. Okay, obviously like college football. I like everything that's involved in this thing. And then I started going to myself, oh, this might be the worst thing about that. Glenn wouldn't sign up for the worst. No, he wouldn't. That is my battle in my head. So then I watch that trailer, I'm like, okay.

Feels like we do have a good chance at this. The story, when people watch it, what's their takeaway going to be? That was hilarious? That was a good time? Look, it is a rowdy, fun, edgy time. This is not Ted Lassow. This is way edgier and, you know, more, I would say, truthful to the sport than something like that. You have something like, you know, I think when you have Peyton and Eli on something like this,

it's going to be legit. You know, I had Patrick Mahomes' quarterback coach, is my quarterback coach. Like, every single part of this yet, you got Herb Street and Fowler, you know, commentating on the national championship game, you know, in terms of this world, you're going to recognize this world.

It doesn't feel like it's made from outsiders, I promise. You're going to love, this show is made for you, Pat. Yeah, I cannot wait. You're a diehard Texas Longhorn fan. Obviously, we've seen you at a lot of the game sideline. Now you're a big movie star, can't make all of them happy.

But I will say to you, as a movie star, I don't know if that's you throwing every ball in there, but we've obviously seen other actors try to throw a football. We've obviously seen it. Thank you for at least holding up your end of the bargain. It seems like from the trailer this far. Well, that's like the hardest thing. I think as an actor, you've never seen,

it's so hard when actors play a quarterback because it's the most technical position on the field. To fake it, it's very, very hard. So that was like the thing with Peyton and Eli. They were like, they're the most brutal quarterback coaches. I was like, please be brutal. and they put me in front of real, you know, real defenses, and they had real guys running at me the whole time,

and I was like, and reading the defenses, like they were so technical about where my eyes were and how I was processing the field. So, you know, I'm never going to be, you know, I can fake it enough, but I got to say that football checks out in this. Okay, I'm pumped to hear that. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, as far as like the physicality and the contact that you had

and when you guys were filming, Did you ever have to dish it out or take any punishment? And how much better of a quarterback are you now than you were when you started filming that? I'm a lot better than what I started, that's for sure. I think everybody was worried. I mean, Eli gave me a lot of shit from my form on Top Gun Maverick, that's for sure. But, you know, obviously he's never thrown a ball covered in coconut oil. Of course.

And Top Gun's about the flexing. It's not about the football. Dogfight football. It's Dogfight football. Those rules are made up. Everybody knows this. They may play in Dublin, but not in the States. You know, the fact is, like, Eli and Peyton, you know, they had me, you know, really working with all the best.

And so, like, yeah, the – wait, your question was what exactly? Contact. How much that's cool? Oh, contact. In this Rose Bowl sequence, we are using real NFL players. I mean, like half of the line, you know, D-Line was Baltimore Ravens players. So there's a guy, six, five, three, twenty-two. running out.

That might be a part of the problem. I'll tell you what, these guys are too worried. Working with Chad Pires, they forgot how to tackle. They got starstruck by Glenn Powell. I get it. Who set them up to do that? Was you, was you? Chuck Pugano?

No, I mean, we're not like improving. There's like proper play that is choreographed that's happening. But at the same time, it doesn't change it. When you're spinning and you're getting ready to set, and then all of a sudden there's like a guy that that sign, running at you you kind of forget where you are you know it's it's a pretty intense thing buta and stavi are not going to love to hear that uh tie has a question about maybe the future of this yeah glen when you guys were putting this together was there any thought of like hey we're going to

maybe leave it a little open-ended in case you want to do a season two or was it originally just like hey you know what this is going to be six episodes or whatever it is and then we'll be done or what's what's that thought process like i mean the thought process has always been i I personally don't like, I don't have a lot of free time, so I don't like people wasting my time. So we have a very, very specific plan of a beginning, middle, and end to Chad Powers. And so it's epic, but it takes place

all over the course of one football season. Okay. When you piece this together, you think to yourself, this is going to be the greatest character I've ever played, most fun character I've ever played? How do you kind of view it? I mean, the thing I'm realizing right now

about being an actor is like, You spend so much time on set and you spend so much time researching that, like, you want to occupy worlds that you actually love. I'm like, why don't I just, like, for this press tour, I'm just getting to go to college football games. It's like the best. And so I'm like, there's no reason to not just be taking over stadiums and be, like, you know, learning from the best. It's like, it's been a dream. Like, it was like not one bad day on this entire shoot. Yeah, there's rom-com, though, out there on the beach, you know, somewhere.

Yeah. Six months, five months, living abroad, just flexing the entire time. I'm sure that's a good time. I'm sure it's not bad for Glenn. No, there's nothing fun about taking your shirt off on camera. You know, it's like I'd much rather be in prosthetics in a jersey. That's for sure. See, that's the thing about being that handsome.

That's the whole. All right, let's make me look ugly one time. That'll be fun in its entirety. Go ahead. I mean, Pat, you take your shirt off more than I do in rom-coms. You take your shirt off on that desk more than anybody. Yeah, it's an easy pop. I saw you at the white game, man.

It's a sun's out, guns out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, it was a white out game. I don't know what white game you're at. It's a night game. There's no reason to take your shirt off at a night game, but I'm all for it. All right, okay. Connor has a question for you in your future.

Yeah, Glenn, big project coming up with JJ Abrams. How pumped you to work with him on something and how much, you know, kind of communication do you two have now about everything? JJ is the man. I mean, he's a filmmaker I've wanted to work with forever. And we have a whole little thing in the movie surrounding the Pats. It all takes place in Boston. but he's a he's a great filmmaker great guy in that movie i've gotten to see a bunch of it it really

turned out okay running man too soon right yeah one's that that's coming out november that's coming out november we got chad powers coming out tomorrow on hulu we got running man coming out we got a j jabrams and then there's something else too right what's he cooking up go ahead tie yeah glen i mean it's just this is preliminary they're saying you're attached to it i'm just telling you right now for my sanity for what i need in my life you got to do miami vice okay you have to do it you and michael b jordan are attached to this thing. We need it. The U.S. needs this right now.

Joe Kaczynski, you've worked with him before. Do you want to just do that right now? Do you want to say, you know what? Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to be in Miami Vice. I love Michael B.

I love Joe Kaczynski. I got to say, it's unbelievable how much you guys try to break entertainment news on this show. I'm not falling for it this time, Pat. I'm not doing it. Okay, but if you were thinking about doing it,

that be the one to do you would say Pat if I start if I start moving towards Miami I'll give you a shout as soon as my my linens are on I'll give you a shout

okay we like that you look so cool down there oh my God get to throw your hair out with a mustache too maybe keep that one earring like Chad Powers had just for your entire life

blood diamond Ty hated the earring Ty was watching the trailer going why is the part of the story no I get it I get it's a blood diamond good movie It just felt like an Oregon quarterback, you know, like, you know, Frost and Tiff.

Bay Landing soccer. Let's talk college ball. Go ahead, DeBund. Yeah, stay with quarterbacks, quarterback of your team. Arch Manning, obviously huge, high, high expectations coming into the season. Hasn't quite played up to them yet. What's your thoughts on their young quarterback? How he's figuring it out?

Yeah, I think Arch is figuring it out. I think, you know, San Houston State, the state, you know, I got to go to that game And it was really fun to obviously see Arch, you know, find what we've all seen him. You know, see him do last season, you know, when he was, you know, coming in under yours, he showed up when he needed to. And I think he got the confidence he needed. And, you know, I'm just excited to, you know, I think it was good to just get him out of his head. There was a lot of noise preseason that, you know, obviously we were all part of.

And I think it's good to get him just, you know, rocket fire and stop thinking and just do. Mattier, potentially out of the Red River robbery. Do you want to maybe send him some best wishes so we get the best of both teams, right? I think Mattier should take his time, getting better. As much time as Mathier needs to get, you know, rested in that hospital, I think he should take at least until after Texas OU. I think it's really important he take care of himself. So I don't think he should be back for Texas OU.

That's my opinion. And that's former college football player, Chad. Powers there speaking, and Texas alum and donor speaking Glenn Powell. Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Glenn, why were you on Oregon and not Texas? You don't want to put that bad

juju on a fumble of the goal line on Texas or what happened there? Good question. I never want to be a part of Texas losing a national championship, that's for sure. But also, you know, Russ Holliday, who's our quarterback in the show, you know, I was really important to be a part

of a West Coast team. We wanted him to be west coast going down south you know so it you know it just felt like organ especially with like the nike component felt fun splashy it felt like we were part of a world you know go ahead a j yeah you've played a quarterback now it doesn't make you want to play some other sports saying like you're an NBA basketball player you play major league baseball is there are you in are you co-creating or producing anything else where maybe you play another sport ping pong this is this is going to be like the the Avengers uh the Avengers with process We're just going to, you know, put masks and go into every single sport.

It's not a terrible idea, AJ. I mean, honestly, I think we could 100% take this. I mean, Barnstormers is my production company. We really want to be, like, the go-to place for all sports content. So, look, if Chad Powers is a hit, you never know what other sports we can go into. So, you know, you'll be the first. If you want to put back on the cleats, you know, we can put you a prosthetics guy for sure. Let's remake the program.

Have you seen the program? Oh, yes. Of course. That's a good idea. AJ will definitely do the steroids for it too if you need them. Right, AJ? Yeah, if the Hollywood people make me do it, yeah, I'll be Latimer. I guess.

I guess if you need it. He's kicking the bar when he's after he cleans, he kicks the bar, yeah. He's a great character. Yeah, you could nail it. I think you can nail it. Certainly look that way. Glenn, okay, well, good luck on everything. Thank you so much for taking the time to chitch out with us.

Congrats on Chad Powers, not being corny. Okay? That's good. It's awesome. All right. I'm watching tomorrow. It just pops up tomorrow on Hulu. I just turn, I go to Hulu. It'll be there. Just turn it on. First two episodes there tomorrow. How many episodes in total? Six episodes in total, week by week. Every Tuesday.

Talking an hour, 45 minutes, 47 minutes? 50 minutes. 30 minutes? Like 30 to 40 minutes each episode. Okay. It's a floating number, though. We got to tell a story. Is that right? Yeah, yeah. Whatever time just tell the best story. But every episode is a banger. It's great. Okay. We trust you. We appreciate you.

Ladies and gentlemen, a super ugly Chad Powers and an incredibly handsome Glenn Powell. Thank you, Glenn. And you look super cool there. Where are you? Is that your room? Your office? I'm at the ESPN headquarters right now. Really?

There's a lot of fans of us up there. Tell them we said hello, Glenn. All right, I'll let him know. Thank you. You're a good man. Ladies and gentlemen, Glenn Paul. That's going to be good. Oh, yeah. I was scared to death to watch that.

trailer. Yeah. Peyton. It's really hard to make something. I laughed. Look good. Agreed. Especially if you guys not a football player, playing football, there's

opportunity to just immediately go, nope. Not doing that. And I was very worried. I had heard about this concept months and months, maybe a year ago or whatever. And my first thought was just like, please, God, no, please don't do it. And then as soon as I see the trailer, I'm like,

okay, it seems like they at least tried. Who's the best actor quarterback? You got Willie James. Adam Sandler. Jamie Fox, William, Keanu Reeves, Shane Reeves, Shane, Jane Falco. Oh, Falco was damn. Not to mention Johnny Utah.

I mean, you can't just. It's good point. Keanu Reeves got two bowl games. Sunshine, not bad. Sunshine not bad. Great movie. Good leadership. Scott Bacula,

unnecessary roughness. James Vanderbyke. Let's not forget about Icebox. She's so good. Big Mike. Blindside. He didn't play quarterback. Oh, sorry.

I'm just sorry to think football players now. I told me. Blindside was a great movement. Should have played quarterback. Thought about it. They might have won the stage championship. Yeah, you never know. Speaking of being a big guy playing wide receiver,

what was that throwing a ball to Proctor? That was awesome. I love it. AJ, what do you do there? I mean, he's out on a DB. I think there's a safety he was on out there. I like that Grubb, DeBoar, seemingly in their bag. 33 straight home wins for Georgia.

That place was tough to play. That is a dog fight actually and physically. And for this Alabama team to go in there and get a win, And then for this to be a part of their offense, do it every play. Do it every play until they've got to stop it. Obviously, we're heading down there for Alabama, Vandy. I don't think anybody could have expected Vandy, Alabama, potentially being a game-day game. But we are incredibly pumped to go up there.

I believe Florida State, Miami was certainly on the table to be the one. Lose the Virginia in prime time. Thanks, Florida State. I think it's tough. I think it's a tough decision. I don't make the decision, but I think that was a tough one to set a precedent. Like, it just, it's a big game. It obviously matters.

just lost to Virginia, that entire thing, so maybe get back down there later, but I'm pumped that Vandy's getting a game day game. Oh, yes. Like, first of all, the fact that game day game is a thing is crazy to be a part of, just would like to let that be known, that that is a very cool thing.

But Vandy, in Diego, earning it, and then Alabama, from how it started to where they are now this season, it's a great story, it's a great game, and it should be electrifying down there. It's awesome, because Vandy did what they did last year, and then I still think they're, I want to say their overrunner

was either four and a half, for five and a half wins for this year, which they've basically already done. And then Bama, you talked about Caden Procter, Bruce Feldman, he does a freaks list every year. You guys talked about Kenny Sadiq this weekend. He was number 11 on it.

Proctor was number two behind Jeremiah Smith. He's just, so like when I saw this happen, you're kind of surprise, but then you're like, oh, this is the most freaky, freaky athlete in all of college football almost. So them doing that with him,

not a surprise. He probably could, he's like, he's like, he's like, as far as athleticism is. So naturally got up. I'm saying, he looks so smooth, just catching, like, just catching the ball.

That whole process of catching and turning up. And we see receivers and running backs and tight ends do it all the time, but to see a dude this big, just like, yep, no thought about it. Ball, outside hand, big-ass elbow, braids, looking like JJ Watt, grump. How much you weigh? 340? Listed at 3.40? Oh, yeah.

I forget the number. He's a 3-60, yeah. He was warming up first game. He had a phone in his hand. Everybody's like, this guy's not taking any serious. It's like, can you give me the ball a little bit? People think I'm not there. Go ahead. He's listed 6-7-366 with an 815 pounds squat.

Any can catch. How? He can fall and get up smooth. Just no problem at all. Say he's dims again? 67-366, originally committed to Iowa, then Bama, then transferred to Iowa. And then before the season started, went back to Alabama.

Oh, I remember him. Yeah. He'd be our best skill player. Like by far. He would get 30 carries a game if he went to Iowa. Yeah, right. Say maybe something to think. Yeah, right.

You guys would never do that. Give him 30 carries a game? We sure would. You had Coop on the team, and you wouldn't give him to damn ball, and you guys were averaging, what, four yards a game offensively? Actually, we started putting coop on offense, and he broke his foot during practice and kind of missed the Big Ten championship in the rest of the season.

That backfired a bit, but... Proctor, it won't. No, it wouldn't. Look at that fucking guy. Let him play quarterback. should. Yeah. If Grubbs should start using them like that, I love that.

We had a great weekend of ball. The Bills did not cover against the Saints. Don't love that. A little bit of a dog fight. Yeah, a little bit of a dog fight. Yeah, a little bit of an answer out of Rattler. Never wins, but he plays ball. Kelly Moe.

I think his record is the worst in the history of ball, but Rattler plays, and the bills get a huge win. Obviously, Shakir's going to do his thing. Josh Allen's going to do his thing. They don't cover, though. It was a huge number. 14 and a half is a very, very, very. large spread, obviously, but the Saints, I think everybody, that's insane. That's a great

pick, by the way. Love everything about that. And that's basically the Saints in a nutshell. Anybody else runs this? It's a touchdown. Instead, Saintee comes flying over and does it. That's the year for the Saints. That's just what the Saints are going to have. Buffalo Bills get another win. We have to talk about them. And that leads to one of my things we didn't get to at the first 15. D. But there's a couple things that we missed in that first 15. One of them is the bill is really good. That is for sure right now. For sure, we got two undefeated teams left now. Obviously, we start with 32, then 16 are undefeated after week one, and now we are only down to two with being the Eagles and the Bills. But yeah, you talked about not covering, but you know,

this weekend and week out, it's all about winning the game, doing whatever it takes to win the game. That's with Josh Allen, and even this defense making big time timely plays have been doing all season long in this early part of the season to move to 4 and 0. And the same with the Eagles game. We talked about the Eagles Bucks game earlier. They were going back and forth. Baker Mayfield made it a fight. Jalen Hertz, Kevin Petulow, talked some shit about him. Petulow was on it.

What was it? Kevin, you blow or some shit like that? Yeah, he came out of fire. They were electric early. We were wondering if that was BS or no B. We had been seeing it all. It was BS because they started. We talked about being fishing in the rare area.

They had pretty much three walk-in touchdowns. One right here. Then we had the flip play. And then we had the basically sweet. to Saquan on the fake tush push. So, Patulow dialed up early. Now, second half, didn't complete a pass, according to the stats

that we saw. That's tough. I checked that. We saw A.J. Brown and his frustration now we know he is an avid reader, so maybe he just randomly posted a quote. Good quote. That was, you know, that was big time. It's something to keep an eye on, definitely. So he got two undefeated teams left. Maybe two teams

we've seen the Super Bowl late. But something we don't see often on the National Football League. Almost had two coaches come to blow. Oh, yes. Yeah, we talk about Liam Cohen and Robert Sala, former head coach, now back defensive coordinator. He made some comments earlier in the week about, you know,

Liam Cohen and their sophisticated legal sign stealing. And Liam, he wasn't about it. Salah tried to shake his hand, walk right past him. If you go back to the beginning of this clip, basically walk right past him. Like, no, I'm not shaking your hand. I'm straight, buddy. Then turned around once you've got a couple people in between him and old Robert. Whoa.

Keep your name out of the mouth. I'm not saying we get a tell of the tape here. We've seen Robert, we've seen him golf, and we know he is Jack, but, you know, Liam's not, you know, he ain't a little bitch walk around. He said it with his chest, 6-1-223, former quarterback, and then we got solid 6-4-250. I don't know why we put the record down there in the bottom. Solid, 250.

That's not a call for. But, yeah, they almost came to blows. But more importantly, the Jacksonville Jack Wards got another win, moving to three and one on the season. It was offense, defense, special teams, complimentary football. Travis E.T.N. He has exploded earlier in this season.

Parker, Washington had a huge punt return. And then Devin Lloyd had an unbelievable game. Probably would be the AFC defensive player to week with two interceptions a sack. This is Parker watching this 87 yard. Punt return. Anytime you get a touchdown on this third phase of football, you're playing winning football.

And that's what the Jaguars. The Jacksonville Jaguars are doing. And Thomas Morest said, 20 miles an hour there. Okay, that's a 39-year-old punter who won 20 miles an hour. Now, his net is ruined for the rest of the season. But he did go 20 miles an hour, so hamstrings at 39 years of age can still do that, which is great. We're wrapping up here on ESPN.

We'll continue digitally with overreactions from around the Internet. Sent out a bird call who said, hey, I want to hear how the NFL fandom, how you feel out there with your teams. And all you have to do is the hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but... We'll go through all those, cover all the storylines we haven't hit as much. And AJ Hawk will tell us how he's seeing... The board, so much better than me. I want two and 12 this week in NFL picks. Eight in two in college.

There you go. There you go. So maybe you lose one cent. You gain another, folks. We'll continue this thing digitally. We'll see you tomorrow. Be a friend, tell you something nice. I might change your life.

Goodbye. Okay, double Monday Night Football. Should have hit that one more time here at the end. But, AJ, two games night to pick. I want two and 12, dude. And I waffled on a lot of them, and I was on the wrong side every time I waffle. You want six and seven. Obviously, you can get above 500 with two games tonight.

I can just try to get to four in 12 in this entire thing. College, I feel like I'm really, I got a good grasp of what's going on. Seeing it. If Penn State would have won that one, I mean, if Georgia would take care of people. I mean, there's, I mean, 33. That would have been a perfect day. There was actually people betting on it. I think Foxy and DeBone were running my game day picks parlay.

Yep, 10 game, Moneyline parlay. It was an absolute joy to ride you through 12 to 3 o'clock, the 7 o'clock. Wow, whoa, whoa, whoa, right my picks, right my picks, thank you, sorry. Yo. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, he's riding my picks, right. Oh, wait, me on my pitch. Holy shit, sorry, though, Foxy. Back to what you're saying before these children interrupt.

To ride your picks, yes, thank you very much. But, yeah, heartbreakers at the end there. So you were a lot of money. So you were perfect that until those night kids. Bingo, yeah. And I knew it. Was there a cash out? There was.

It wasn't good enough, though. So I wasn't going to do it. It would have been awesome just to go 10 for 10. Yeah, it was, what was the odds. Do we remember what the odds were? Five to win 500 bucks is what I saw right away Plus 10,000 Also, Georgia let you down

Because they've won 33 in a row at home So that's not your fault Football God say don't I mean what's Bama's record versus Georgia The last one in eight or something like that It's Kirby versus 1 in 7 or something like that Kirby's versus Alabama And he said what's everybody else's record

Jesus Christ The guy's goat was there Fucking get off my ass A lot of people losing to that guy Okay Fuck It's basically what Kirby said guess it's not De Bolver anymore.

It's not De Boeuvre. It's still De Boer, De Boat, and De Boer down there in Tuscaloosa. Teatown. Can't wait to get down there with Nick Saban being a part of the show. Obviously, we did that last year, but even more so now, he's real comfy. Zabin is real comfortable. He's a good spot putting on that lion over thingy. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. What is the... The lion's skin. Yeah, but I don't know if you put on lineske. What are those things that were big blankets? that had sleeves on them? Snuggie. It had a snuggy kind of field delivery.

He put that thing on with the hood. Am I putting this on? If you want to. Yeah. I think it was a gift. I think I should, right? Absolutely. All right.

Somebody needs to fucking help me put this thing on. Got fucking ears in his mic. He's awesome, dude. Coach Saban is awesome. Had some air maxes on? Clean. He was crushing it in the all, I don't know if everybody's pumped in mind was different than everybody else's.

But I don't think, I don't think, did they know that they were all wearing the exact same suit? Because I did not know everybody who's wearing the exact same suit. So I should have, I should have done a little bit more importantly. He said, no, thank you, my guy can do it. I immediately, immediately, I got a guy, thanks. David Allen got me. Thanks, no thanks. Don't need it.

100% on me. Should have read that off. More importantly, though, we're done with kicks. Like it's been fun. The kicks have been fun, but where's Don, right? Yeah, a little bit of a asshole this weekend. I don't like the picking someone else gimmick. I don't mind the picking someone else gimmick.

Now, if this kid was here, so if that kid was at Game Day, Carson, who did the kid. He's a professional kicker. He's actually a member of the women's soccer team, man, equipment manager crew. So he does kick soccer balls literally every single day. Sure. Okay. So he is probably an incredible soccer player from high school. And the fact that William picked him, good play.

Yeah. Fair play. But if he wasn't there, I don't think. Like, if he was with him or in the area, we're going to add a clause, I think. Have to make your decision in 30 seconds. Okay? Can't leave. Like, if he went and got this guy, imagine if he won, goes to the women's soccer team or the men's soccer team.

You got anybody around here? Yeah. We got a $100,000 opportunity. And then finds this guy and brings him back. First of all, genius. But going forward, can't have it happen again. Okay, can't have it happen again. That's an easy thing on campuses.

So I think we still need to reward the people that get out there in the pit and do their thing. but we are going to add some clauses have to because he was so smooth and this kid should think about picking it up yeah he was very his leg swing straight up and through it and he only took like two steps really did a couple little quick jab steps but at the end it was just boom boom that was a two stepper his plant foot was perfect one through it very well he might want to think about brandon obrey yeah okay and i'm not saying his sound was anything like what brandon obrie's probably sounded like but brandon obby didn't just start now he's two years of training before this kid you think about it. That was a good ball.

That was a pressure moment too. I mean, that's a lot of people. Yeah, 150K on the line. Yeah. Bike. For hopefully new best friend too, William. Both them are in finance. We'll be excited to see what they choose to do with this. I was wondering. Do you think they went out together like for the rest of the day? I hope so.

But I also hope they potentially do something with the money together. Okay. That would make some the best. Let's take 200,000 of this and let's do some shit with it. We'll take the original $100,000. We'll split at $50,000 each. That's enough, right? Let's move along. Let's take this $200,000 try to do some financial with it. There's a chance a really good story comes out of these.

Well, luckily for them, if they're not on scholarship, they can pay for three years of their school. Penn State is. Three years? Penn State is a good school upper. Got a lot of people going to school there. That's right. A lot of very wealthy people end up going to school there.

A lot of executives, a lot of CEOs. $700 million renovation. Crazy. But I need a, I don't know. I didn't ask the exact number, but to build new platforms to put on new bleachers while you're doing the renovations. That's probably another ton. Whatever that is. It's phenomenal.

96,000 season tickets. So they had to, we can't lose sections here while we're doing renovation. We actually got to add on here. It's crazy to think about AJ. Crazy. It was, that place was crazy 15, 20 years ago. So yeah, the fact that they're continued to add on to it and make it better. Yes. I don't know. I mean, they're going to win one of those eventually, aren't they? One of those monster games in there? Sure. Yeah. Sure, they will. But, Oregon, though, at this point in the season, to go into that type of environment and get a win like that, like that type of thing, because every year it's a new team,

you obviously have a great coach there, but every year it's a new team. The type of confidence you have, because wherever you, let's say, you've got to go on the road somewhere during the playoffs and playing a tough atmosphere, going to that building and winning, if there's no place you're afraid of going into knowing that your team is going to show up and make big-time plays in high-pressure situations, too. A lot of people are attacking James Franklin. It's like, I guess you could.

I don't know. I don't know if it was his fault, but I guess you could. A lot of people attacking Drew Aller, obviously, because of that, but also they're only there because it's, it's like college football personified here. It's a good game.

We hate, who do we hate? We hate, somebody's got to do it. Well, this guy loses again. Fuck this guy. Fire James Franklin. And then all of a sudden, you think to yourself, like, still everything in front of you.

This is just like when Ohio State loses, you know? Ohio State loses to Oregon, in Oregon. Everything is still in fronty. I'm not saying that Penn State's going to be able to do the Ohio State run from last year because obviously that team was special and they were fun to watch. But still, everything is in front of Penn State still at this point. In their eyes, I assume we should have won this game.

This is a game we definitely should have won. So good outcome, I think, for Saturday night. It's all perspective because five years ago you lose that game, your season's over. Like you're not going to the Big Ten championship. There is no playoff for you to get in. So it's like, you're right. You can be pissed about that, but that's a great team. they'll be in the playoffs so now it's like

hey let's we can still win this thing I mean you just saw a team in your own conference now I'm not saying I think they're going to yeah no yeah I don't think so either but they lost Ohio State in the same exact situation last year and they made it to the semi so want to play away all right let's get to a break we back on the other side

we'll make our picks we'll go through our reactions it's going to be electrifying we appreciate you for allowing us to do this you scared of Penn State over there to Ohio State no I have a healthy respect for what Penn State does though for sure. They're all in. I love what they're doing. I love that part about it.

All in, dude. They got studs all over the field, offense, defense, special teams. They got the play. So why do they lose? I mean, it's a good game. No one lost it. Oregon won that thing.

I don't think team. Stole that. I think Oregon stole that. That's why I said stole it. And a lot of Oregon people were like, we won the whole game. It's like, yeah, but at the very end, you stole that.

And you stole the entire energy and soul from an entire city. I mean, like that. Yeah, first play. Double over. First player in a second. Because fans are thinking, all we need is two-point. We're going to score a touchdown for sure. They haven't been able to stop us.

And then we get a two-point conversion. Koto-Nick, he's got something. We're winning this fucking game. We never win this game. Yeah. We're going to win this game. We're going to win this game. And then first snap, boom.

What the fuck we knew we're going to lose this game? Why do we even think that? Like, that is... Yeah. That's called football. Why do you let yourself go there? You can't let yourself go there. Think we won this game, yeah.

You still had six more points in us, and we just thought two-point conversion mattered. Oh, good point. That was some throws he made, man, like that deep crosser or post-routy threw the five. It was like he showed the flash, but then first in ten for you to kind of force this ball. First or two, just throw it away. Line up second to him. Checkdown wide open next one, actually. I only got so many guys running the same spot.

Yeah, yeah. Three guys. In the boundary, too. It's decisions. I got a lot of questions. Yeah. We're sure. I'll learn from it.

Football It's magical, that's A.J. Hawke. He is currently a pro football, Hoffnom. Congrats to him. Talk to the tables here after a big win and a tie at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Maybe change it to Ty Schmidt, TIE Schmidt.

You know what? I only saw that about 150,000 times this morning, so maybe I will. Maybe that's not a bad idea. Oh, that's a fun little game. Yeah, it is. That's hilarious. It is kind of clever.

And on a complete opposite side, there's no tying up there in New England. Oh, my God, the only thing we're tying is maybe our latches to the bandwagon of Drake May. This guy might be a real guy. They're saying records and stats are amongst the goats in the town conmen. Oh, yeah. I think the only thing tying is probably, you know, waistbands because you've got to tuck your boners in them because everyone's so pumped about it up in New England. I'll be honest.

I personally do truly believe that they might be a playoff team now, like especially when you look at who the Steelers are. All of a sudden, the Steelers are a much better team than you think about. In New England, you could argue, five turnovers, and they still lose, but it'll feel very good about Drake. A lot of tucking going on up there in New England out of excitement for what the future could be. And he's doing Cam Newton's Superman stuff. I love that. I love everything about it. And let's go to one half of the hammer. Down! Cowboys, A.P. Town. Pittsburgh Steelers pick up a big one in the Emerald, the beautiful Dublin, Ireland. Your team winning the Super Bowl this year?

Yes, definitely. counted us out because we created five turnovers and turnovers are all luck. They're not a skill at all. What's that, AJ? Who did? Including Diggs. Diggs was really down the dumps earlier than you. I'm sorry. Go to Friday's show. Pat said, are you going to win? I said yes, no doubt.

Yeah, but you said it with doubt. No, there was no doubt about this one. I said I was very confident in this one. Okay, so you like them in Ireland? You like them against the Vikings. You like them against Carson Wentz, who certainly gave us the experience, AJ. I don't know if you got a chance to watch it. Oh, yeah. Live Sunday morning. You could really see. the light switch just kind of hit for the Carson Wentz experience. And as it started

rolling, I literally put a tweet up because I'd seen this movie before, hey, everybody needs stop what you're doing. The Carson Wentz experience has started in Ireland. And it certainly did, AJ. There was two dudes that got flipped on one play at one point. Obviously, he's evading rushers and he's sidearm in it right to Justin Jefferson, who slips a little bit but thought he was going to score a touchdown. And then obviously there's a moment where, hey, you just throw that thing away. It's a, it's a gain of zero, loss of zero. You lose three to the running back trying to make a play happen. Let's huck this thing to the corner. Let God take control, almost a pick. I mean, that's Carson Wentz football right there. And then this one is special,

you know, because there's two flips of defensive players and the ball ends up gone. And where's it at? This is Carson wins football. This is literally Carson wins football. He needs to be a part of the first game in every new country. I don't know who's playing in Australia. They need Carson wants to be one of the starters so that they get a chance to experience this. I saw this for a year with the Colts. It is spectacular, like when that's happening, he's leading a comeback. I thought, yes, Carson Wentz could lead a comeback in seven minutes and 50 seconds, let alone all the decisions that were made by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This one, 37 seconds left first and 10. Obviously, we've got no time else to need to get rid of it. Fuck it. Intentional ground and ball is going to hit the ground. I mean, it's Carson Wentz experience. It's exactly what you sign up for. But now, in his first week in the Kevin O'Connell offense, it was just Carson wins. Ireland, he just got excited, I think. Fuck it, we're losing.

We're home. This ain't working. Let me do some dance. Let me do some of my shit. And it was electrifying. And in all of that, Steelers get a win. DeButch. Steelers won all in this offseason.

Paid a lot of people. Jalen Ramsey's making place. D.K. Metcalfe's making place. Aaron Rogers is doing well. Dary Slay's impact has been heightened because of it. injuries. What are your thoughts on the moves that made the off season and how it's either coming to fruition or do they still have a long way to go?

I love all the moves they made in the off season and the moves are made kind of all in. Like it's this year, maybe next year, but Aaron came into the season saying this was going to be his last season play. You drafted Will Howard. We'll see how he developed. Hopefully Skyler Thompson's okay. But yeah, they're

all in. The pieces are working. John News Smith, not getting as involved. I think I saw you show me the tight-in snap count. I believe he had like 13 or 15. Snap counts, which is kind of surprising because he is a weapon in the past game. But I love it always, always, always starts with the quarterback. Aaron Rogers is playing high-level football. So if they take care of the football and continue to take it away on the defense side of the ball

and they can hold their weight in the special teams element, shit, they can win this damn division. Definitely win the division, especially right now. You start looking around in Cleveland, you know, people could be, say they could be problematic if they figure out the quarterback position, which is a big if. But D.K. Metcalfe, running wild. and wild in Ireland is certainly what everybody envisioned whenever they decided to pay them

$30 million a year before ever doing a don for the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is out of control. Running back had a huge game. Kenneth Gainwell was everywhere for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, and he was always good for Philly. It was just when he got drafted there. Miles Sanders was a thousand-yard rusher in that offense. Then they get

Sequin. And so Kenneth Gainwell is just kind of that third down back. And now, I mean, was this his first true like full, hey, you're the guy and you end up with, you know, 90 yards and two touchdowns, it's unbelievable. He actually led them in carries in week one, which people were surprised about, and then Jalen Warren has gone off the last couple. He's been really good the last couple weeks,

and then Jalen Warren had a knee thing pop up earlier in the week, so this was Kenny Gainwell's game, and he took advantage of it for sure. Yeah, that was awesome. That was awesome. I was watching the game, and it just kept just moving. Like, every time he got the ball, something positive happened. He also lands on his face a lot. He does.

Have you guys noticed that? Yeah, yeah. Like his full helmet was the first thing to, hit the ground. Yeah, he takes a lot of headers. Falling forward. Ford, always falling forward, but like the most hard. He hit his face off the ground a lot. And there's a lot of the grass off of the helmet. Cam Hayward had one at one point. And the new helmets have, like Rogers had the grass like inside the top.

Hard to get out. Yeah, possibly. I think you need to get like a little stick maybe. You know, back in the day. I don't know if they have those on the field. I was just, you guys said Rogers and Helmet. Before that slant did everyone see him hit the smelling salts? Does he always hit it before every play, AJ? Do you know that? I don't know, maybe before every drive. I don't know if he has like a superstition, but they're definitely being used a lot.

Bring your own smell insults, right? That's where we're at right now? Somebody had to Biauss over to Ireland. Yes. Unless those are some special Ireland ones. Oh, wow. That's what we haven't even thought about. Like the Sigs.

Did you hear about Friday night down there with Skyler? I mean, things are going to happen in Ireland. You made it at the game time, though, obviously. How many, what were some of the stats and factoids that McQuid sent over, obviously, McQuid from pro football Ireland, him and the boys, Connor, I believe, and

Derek Carriger. Bingo, boys have done a great job. Drumming up interest for the NFL in Ireland. They literally boots on the ground. They sent over some stats. I think people need to hear. This is directly from McQuade's mouth. Yeah, we had 74,000 fans over their lads. 74,000 fans at Croke Park, which

obviously was just an Oasis concert not too long ago, and they obviously flipped it to a football field. This one seems a little out of left field, but it is the largest movement of people from the U.S. to Europe since the Allies came over and beat the absolute piss out of the Axis powers, obviously, you know, the Nazis and then, you know, the Japanese Empire and, you know, even Mussolini, obviously, those guys, that's the Axis powers. So that's the largest movement of people from the U.S. to Europe since those times. Hold on, hold on, though. So we obviously read these. He texted them over, McQueen texted them over. Immediately as soon as we asked him, questions. Hey, Connor sent a text. Hey, we need some stats about everything. If you can give us some numbers. He sent all these. Conner, exactly, and he was, copy-pace. He probably sent

these out before. He was excited that somebody was going to get them. He was rewatching the game, by the way. Yeah, he's crying. What do you say? He said he was crying. Yeah, he said he's on my first rewatch right now, and I'm just, I'm an absolute new next slide. Buckets over here, like. It's only going to continue McQuayness is real great. But the stat about the largest migration of humans from the United States to Europe since the war time is how he worded it was a hilarious thing for us to just start double questioning because I guess you know London games they all said all the people came from Germany right you know what everybody was saying yeah yeah like hey everybody's kind of

coming from Germany even London's filling up for Ireland I assume they were able to track flights and how many people were coming into the country because I don't think Indianapolis has a flight to Ireland yeah they just started it like a year ago around this time it was after we got back. So I assume they were able to track flights and how many people and for them to put that stat out. It's like, hey, that's a great stat. That's a huge deal. Since the war time. Anytime you can say since the wartime on a stat, I think you'd go ahead and let that one fly. That's McQuaid football. What were some other ones he said in there? Yeah, I'm sure you all remember lads when we were, you guys were just talking about it a little bit ago. T. T.J. Watt had the interception, you know,

maybe bait and Carson Went into throwing it down the middle of the field. He punted the ball into the stance. That was actually an ode to Gaelic football. I thought he was just punting it because he... For fun. Isn't that kind of his thing? He does the kick. I have noticed that, lads, that he's actually done that many times before, but in this particular situation, in Croke Park,

it was actually an ode to the Gaelic football team. Were they having Guinness? I saw some guys have Guinness. A lot of the boys, yeah, I actually personally brought over about 15 to 16 crates of Guinness. The lads were split in the Gs in the locker room all game long. Even coached Dumblin.

He was splitting the G outside Coach Thumblin He was splitting the G with the media outside So just unbelievable Again, I do want to get this out there Because it's not just Vikings' lad It's not just Steelers lad Like we have a lot of NFL fans

Over here in Dublin 22 different NFL teams jerseys were in the stands Who counted that? I did call in the game for Sky Sports lad And just sprinkle it in there You know maybe we're in the third quarter And I just say 14 and then maybe four minutes past

15 Oh, so he was individually? Yeah, actively. What if he counted the same person twice? That didn't happen? McQuaid wouldn't do something like that. He's obviously the man of utmost character and trust, so he'd make sure that that stat was correct,

especially if he was going to send it to, you know, other media outlets, lad. Oh, not, hold on, oh, not. Bruce couldn't wait to fact check this. Bruce starts approximately 136,000 Americans. Visited parents. I know McQuay was full of shit. There's no way that that's the most Americans that have gone over there since the war

match. I don't know. Without a doubt, lad, because if you remember when that piece of info was actually sent to all of us, we immediately all said, that's bullshit, McQuade. There's no way that that's accurate. We're trying to put over the island, obviously. You know, we're trying to put over the Isle of Ireland. So we ran with it.

Why not? Any other stats that you sent over? Yeah. You know, we showed it a little bit ago. the 80-yard touchdown for DK Metcalf longest touchdown scored in all of the NFL Ireland slash Europe

game. So obviously, you know, we've again, you know, we're trying to grow the game over here on the island. A very special time for McQaeda for all Irish football fans and I think it was a big success. I mean, the proof's in the pudding. That's the largest movement of people from the U.S. to Europe

since war times. No, but we just saw that maybe not, though. Yeah, but you know, I mean, A. I'll tell you anything these days, Laude. You're going to believe that, or you're going to believe an upstanding guy like McQuaid? McQuaid's never steered me wrong. Ever. And AI is probably not updated. They don't have those numbers yet.

Yeah, it's probably 136,000 and one traveled over there for the Dublin NFL game. You tell me, lad. I don't know. Early A. High reports are saying 30,000. Bruce couldn't wait. When I saw it out, I wasn't with everybody, and I was flabbergastified. And then you said

that can't be real like we all did. And then you actually said no three months ago who told him that who told him that and McQuaid was just like oh my god he might start

started crying immediately that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard lot so football does yeah exactly I think all these

all these different bullshit like who I'm what the 22 jerseys you think that's bullshit I think that's

knowing knowing McQade that one's ironclad he made sure that one is for real how many of them are ironclad

Well, I think you could probably 74,000 fans, I believe, is what was reported at Croke Park, you know, obviously bigger than even when Oasis, you know, on their comeback tour just a couple weeks ago. So, you know, football on the aisle, obviously is a big deal. I would say, you know, now that we're talking about it a little bit more, Lads,

the inner T.J. kicking the ball into the crowd. That may not have been a nod to Gaelic football. It's a, it's possible that T.J. just really likes doing that. And he kind of thought, you know, like... No, it was a nod. Okay. I'm guessing the ADR. D.K. Metcalfe one. I'm guessing

that was pretty ironclad as well. But the other ones, you know, more of McQuadisms, maybe, if you will, than, you know, ironclad facts, but when did McQaeda... You're talking Ireland-clad. Yeah, exactly. That's a good way to phrase it. These are more

Ireland-clad than iron-clad. Balls.e. on Twitter, it's Ireland's favorite sports website. Did say it was an old to Gaelic football. Okay. All right. We appreciate you, McQueen. Did T.J. ever say it? Who can't have to? Who cares?

What do you mean? That's the question. Great question, Jay. I don't know. That's all the matters. When he was drinking beers with McQuade in the locker room afterwards, I think he was like, that was for you. That was for you in McQuade.

And all gay, like, football players out there. Is that? He called McQuade or TJ? JJ. Oh, okay. I'm not calling it directly to Sorcercee. Hey, we're live. We're live.

We're live. We're live. We're live. Thank you for answering. You look amazing. Hey, did your brother pay tribute to Gaelic football with that punt, or is that just kind of what he does? I have no idea.

I'd have to ask him. Come up. Will you do that, please? Will you ask him? Yeah. All right, we'll wait. Quaid already did. Yeah, can you FaceTime him in, please?

Yeah. I don't know how to FaceTime him in, but I'll FaceTime within a FaceTime. Yeah, that's. All right. All right. We're going straight to the source. Oh, he's got two phones. I got two phones.

One for me, one for a bro. Got it. One phone guy, one phone guy Well, we're, you're Text, one That's right, Chege. That's right, I like that. I appreciate that. Oh, man.

What if he doesn't answer you right now? Oh, no. I mean, it's an off day, and he's on Ireland, Ireland time. He's his brother. And he doesn't want to talk to his old brother. No, he's all winning time, okay? Jeez.

That's Ireland and Claude. Yeah, pretty good luck. There were a lot of Guinness flowing around yesterday. All right, if you get the answer, we'll see you on Wednesday. Goodbye. Guess we've got to call McQuay now. FaceTime. You're doing it?

Oh, I think McQuay, it's got one of those weird, like, plus one, 97, eight, nine, four, you know, he doesn't fucking live in the country, so he's got a weird call number. Okay, and the longest touchdown in an NFL game. Oh, no, don't do it. Don't do it. Pund return. That wasn't from the line of scrimmage. No, yeah.

That was a. Bruce didn't actually. Bruce didn't shake McQuade's hand in Ireland like we did. It's a bit salty here. He's trying to bury McQuade is what he's trying to do. He didn't see what McQuade did when we were in Ireland. McQuade's trying to grow the game.

McQuade's going to be the next fucking rider cup captain. I forgot that Bruce hate it. I forgot that Bruce hated McQuaid. I didn't know that was even a thing. I love McQuaid. Yeah, we all love McQuaid. I don't know how Bruce could hate McQuaid. Nobody hates McQuaid.

But even if some of these things aren't 100% real, still great. Yeah, they're ironcloth. Let's talk about the Ryder Cup. We haven't talked about it yet. Man, almost. Okay, so I'm sick of that already, okay? Tone tweeted it, and then he said it this morning out loud around other people, and I just didn't appreciate that that's where we're at, you know?

I didn't appreciate that we're, hey, the boys fought hard. Oh, was that like, I didn't, sorry, I didn't pay it. Was it like a moral victory thing? People were saying, I was just saying it gave me something like I could pop in and watch a little bit and say, oh, there's still hope. I didn't say it was a moral victory. Okay, huge for us on Sunday to add in the Ryder Cup, certainly have it mean something, because when we all went to bed on Saturday, we said, so we got a clean sweep on Sunday, that's where we're at. Okay, and then the boys started going. Wait a minute, hold the phone, we might clean sweep this thing, and inevitably

we don't. Okay, and then the conversation is at least the boys fought. That's what some people are saying. Some of us are also saying, how to hell do we go from one up to losing the entire thing to Shane Lowry in one hole. Oh, it's because in the biggest moment the lack of moxie got us. And we're in such a hole. And I don't know if we knew that it was as big as the Europe team clearly

thought. I mean, the attention of detail on the uniforms. So cool. The leader, like, the way they were viewing this and talking about how the four stripes were because they've beaten America four times on the road before. It's like, that's how they were talking. They were a team trying to win. Tommy Fleetwood, we had him on a show. He wouldn't even

talk about the team. He said, don't talk about the team. Because we had a group text. We're like, do you guys have a group text? He's like, we've been fucking meeting for a year, brother. Yeah, since the last one ended. They've seemingly been putting it together in this entire thing. They were much more serious about it, and their putters were fucking on fire. And that's the only thing that matters.

Who can make a put? Who can't make a put? And Europe definitely did that. And it just looked like the boys were outmatched, and we needed it for a country. In tone, you were one of the guys that put out a positive spin on it. And I appreciate that because it is a special event. so we should draw from the positive as opposed to anything negative. But we got in such a big hole.

Nobody thought we had a chance going into Sunday. That can't be the way it is in America. No, it wasn't a moral victory thing for me. It was a where so many... He took that thing for a stroll. Six feet, he started walking that thing. Yeah, and they all did. So on the greens, they gained eight strokes,

which is basically 16 total strokes. Like, they were plus 16 on us as far as putting is concerned. We actually had six of the top nine guys from T-2-Green. It was they were just, just couldn't miss a putt. But my thing was, in this day and age, athletes don't give a shit about their country and playing for the country, and it looked like they did care on Sunday. So that made me happy.

We need that for the first couple of days. I think we have some breaking news here, J.J. I'm talking to him, but yeah, I'm on. You're not on. Teage, we're live, though. Huh? It was not a gala kick. Oh, no, McQuinn!

Shocker. ball to the stands. He was trying to get the ball to the stands because it was so far away. Don't lie. Did it make it? Did it make it? Absolutely.

Absolutely. All right. Thank you, animals. We appreciate you. Great game, TJ. How many of these stats are? You just absolutely fucking killed. Great game, TJ.

So he lied about everything. Every single thing. I was starting to think that the 74,000. thousand fans in Croke Park might even be a fucking bit of hooey as well. If it is, I respect that. Me too. That's awesome.

Hey, fair play, McQuade. There was some Aaron Rogers, when he went like this, when D.K. Metcalf was going, he actually was holding two cups of Guinness up in the area. Oh, man. The 22 jerseys is definitely not correct. Definitely not.

He might have been, maybe he meant 32. Yeah, I'll assume every team is Oh, my God. TJ. No, yeah, I just saw the stands pretty far. I thought I could maybe get it there. He's a Gaelic, what? Or actually a massive breaking news.

Oh. I went on X to see if McQuaid was going to set anything in response, but Matabique just got ruled out for the season. Oh, my God. Ravens D-Tackle. I believe last week, John Harbaugh came out and said he's very concerned about the Matabike. Matabike, I forget, I apologize if I'm pronouncing it wrong.

his health in what the season looks like, and now he has been ruled out for the season due to a neck injury. Nomdi, this sucks, man. We are so sorry you're going through this. Obviously, the Baltimore Ravens defense misses him. He's a stud, and anytime you have a neck, spine, brain stuff, and they rule it out for season, immediately very alarmed. We hope he's okay, AJ.

Yeah, and anything with the neck is always very, very scary. I mean, this dude means so much to the defense. Their defense has been killed by injuries, man. Like they've had so many people hurting it. A big dude like this in the middle line there we've shown on the show like the stats of when he's in compared to when he is not in and how much better they are with him. It's, yeah, this is brutal for them. That sucks.

The whole defense is affected by it. Yeah, for sure. I mean, that's the football side of when you start talking, you know, neck injury as players, you automatically put in the question if you ever play a game because now it starts to potentially impact quality of life, you know, off the field, you know, with your family, kids, whatever it may be. So that's terrible, terrible news for him. You know, Godspeed on the hilly. Godspeed, Namdi, we apologize that that happened to you, brother.

That's no fun at all. All right, let's get to some overreactions from around the NFL, shall we? Some overreactions, maybe out of Ireland. Well, you know. 74,000 was correct. Well done, McQuade. Thank you, McQueen. Well done.

McQueen was the one that wrote that number. No, the NFL tweeted out. Okay. Once again, McQuaid was one. He counted every head. Yeah, we appreciate McQuaid, though. What a legend. Good for him.

stinks about the Gaelic football I know T's I do appreciate that he just went with it though yeah oh that must have been you see that not Gaelic football he just did it did it did it such a bummer every sack he came oh he'll leave that for a second he didn't did J do it plenty times Gaelic football yeah loves yeah he had a different uh different stroke pause like yeah I love that for McQuade, though. Ah, me too. McQuaid, we love you.

And keep doing this if it's going to get more games in Dublin. We put out a bird call this morning saying, hey, we'd like to hear how you feel about how your teams are performing this NFL season. All you've got to do is tweet back using the hashtag, I don't want to overreact. But... Became a number two overall trend who couldn't surpass Babani for good reason. That's why he's the halftime perform. Chambaya...

Pull-up. Bada. Bada. Bada. Bada. Bada. Bada. Bada. Clabs. Does he make clabs with other people from over here? Like that. Yeah. A bunch of other people. Biber, right? He's got songs of everybody, bro. He's a fucking hitmaker. It's going to bring them all out. They're all going to, you know, they're all going to pop in. No, they're all going to sing Spanish. I think it's all Spanish. What? No. What I would like him to do is not, we don't need to lip. into english his songs but i think he only makes hits if he could do one or two songs speak in english i think we'd all be pumped up about it without a doubt i mean dbutt had a

really good idea i'd be out what i don't want to hear it's like michael jackson going on tour and singing in spanish when he goes to a spanish country i don't know i like all like uh despisito gasoline i mean there's a lot of great oh t by had a good idea for it what's that I think there's some English in it? No, neither are. But I'm just saying there's a lot of really atrovetos, another one. There's a lot of really good Spanish songs. Even if you don't know what it means, the words are slow, perfect.

Yeah, okay. I understand what you're saying. Or maybe he just does the normal ones in there, okay, but you've got to cover Sweet Caroline. And you got to sing us the song. Yeah, sing along. We need two sing along. Yeah, exactly. Because we'll try to chambia.

Bala. I'm trying. I'd like to learn Spanish. Got me in some trouble, you remember? Oh, yeah. Really? Well, Raquel Rodriguez comes up to me and starts speaking in Spanish. I could not understand what she was saying.

I can't understand what you're saying right now. I need you speaking. I do not speak Spanish. This guy's racist. I don't fucking speak Spanish. I love Roccoe. I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan.

But I was trying to, I'm trying to be a journalist here. I can't tell them. I don't know what you're saying. What you're saying. I have no idea what you're saying right now. It'd be nice to be able to speak Spanish. I want my daughter to be able to speak Spanish, I think. I knew her to speak English first.

We had a five word sentence the other day. I got something to hear, and I was like, I got to go outside. That's what she said or something like that. Or I want to go outside. And I was like, here we go. Let's go outside. Put them together. Wasn't planning on going outside, but I love what you just did there.

So let's go outside there. The peeing, the poop. Cooping. It's coming along. Process. We're not there yet, though. The process. Certainly had a towel clean up a bunch of piss.

Oh, yeah. In the bedroom. She was walking around. No diaper. I'm peeing. I look over. She was not peeing at the right time. But as soon as I looked over, she started.

I was like, can I get a little bit more? Can I get? I need 10 more seconds. I could have got you there. So I can lift you and scoop you and put you on the thing. So I think we're getting there We're getting close Parenting's cool, man

Yeah It's a cool thing Oh yeah She's got a lot of juice She's got a lot of juice Which I love She was up Just she'll be up until

Literally forever She has a lot of air But she doesn't yell She just lay in the bed And just like kind of She'll sit up chill I'm like who's she What did she?

Just hanging out I'm kind of creeped out That she was okay Hage black Vibed her All about yeah she's vibe And then she passed out It's good

Oh on that note Jeremiah Love Story It was cool. Yeah, yes, Gen Lada. Yeah, because, like,

I have no idea, like, honestly, I have no idea. This is all, especially in the world that we're in right now. Same.

Jeremiah, I love coming out and being like, hey, I've been told that I was on the spectrum and then, like, a little bit different than him becoming who he is. I think it's good if we can,

especially in this world that we're in right now, like more prevalent now in the conversation of topical of everything than it's ever been. It's like, I appreciate that. Well, and I like all of Jen Lada's pieces,

but personally, it's better when you just focus on the players. these massive stars. I had no idea Jeremiah Love had any of that going on. At all. At all. And now it's like a whole new perspective on Jeremiah Love. And then he scores four touchdowns in the first half. In the first half. He had four touchdowns. Yeah, you got to coach fire. Because he played so well. Like it was so awesome. I hope she stays in that. Actually, Jen, please just stay in that lane. Let's focus on these points. I don't think Jen is necessarily getting to decide what she does. Well, if she does, if you get any, if you get any leeway or any say,

The players are so awesome to learn about She tells you incredible stories She really does Very, very, very, very, very good stories That's like a huge part of game day The Yeah, the Penn State place was It was a great show

It was a good time That is a loser Coach Franklin told him, hey, we need him next week We need the fans next week So I'm glad about that When do you say that? I think he tweeted it yesterday Which was great timing

Penn State wasn't angry anymore Speaking of coach, he's tweeting stuff, you see Lane Kiffin? What's this all about? I just FaceTime them literally. As soon as I got to the bus, I was shirtless still from the show. I'm like, hey, boys, not everybody thinks you're going to win this game. I've learned. Coach, need you guys to get going.

He just immediately, as we're FaceTimbing, he goes, why are you FaceTiming me? This is not, I didn't know he was walking to the bus. He was really walking to the bus, and he answers to he goes, why are you facetiving me? Dudes don't FaceTime dudes. I go, you're wrong. You're absolutely wrong. I was just letting you know it. Need you to win.

Okay. I need to get these picks right. In this coach, Corso, post-coach-Corso era, I need to be getting my picks right. So I just needed you to know, we need this. Okay, like we actually,

we need this. So he picked me up to the bus. Then he took his ears out. And I go, boys, need this one, more than you could imagine. Had no idea that was happening. Okay, I'm shirtless sitting on my bus right now.

Just got off his entire thing. And then he goes, Geez, what a call. Thanks, man. And then just hangs up. What's the phone down? And then immediately, immediately, I go, I check my phone

and it's a screenshot. He goes, can I post this? And I'm like, let it fly, brother. Just please let him know I was motivating. He goes, nope, dudes don't. Love that. And then, did you see his response to Wittweeks? Whenever they said,

Why did Landry, feed this man this week? And he responded, tempo. he is this dude is awesome he is absolutely it felt like too good of a lane kiffin week last week for him to lose that game definitely you know like it felt like that's the only reason why i made that pick that is that is it strictly all feels like this is too good of a lane kiffins for him to lose can't happen i don't think so i don't think that's how it's going to go huge win and that's what college football is yeah it's like you never know who's going to show up each week literally week to

week you know kids show up kid young men sorry 18 to 23 year olds every week so many distractions money now oh yeah fame opportunity options and everything for everything and then we need you to we need you to continue to yes lock in folks on this got to win it's like everything else a lot more fun yeah but fucking come on need you he's got these two quarterback that might win the high good now. So good. That's a unbelievable. He's a ballpillar. Can't pull them now, right? No, three straight 300 yard games.

Got to stick with you. Are you out on LSU? Only think they can still? No. Still all on the front? They're off. Yeah, they're sweet. So talented.

They are, yeah. They didn't have their running back either, right? Wasn't Durham out? Cade? I don't know. I didn't get the. Yes, yes. He announced that.

A lot of people are saying there's something wrong with Nuffmanter. They're posting videos of him throwing the ball last year versus this year. this year. Oh, like he's hurt? And they don't really have to... SEC, don't they have to report it?

They have to report two hours before game time, but there's a... I don't know if they're as legitimate as, like, you know, NFL reports. Let's see how that goes. All right, let's go to some overreactions from around the NFL. He's from Tone Diggs. Hashtag I don't want to overreact,

but... Dan Orlowski said the Steelers are going to be starting 0 and 6. I saw a lot of people bringing this up. This was before Aaron Rogers was signed to the Steelers, but I think he even said, who cares? Whatever the case is, they were not set up to win. Dano's eating some shit here from everybody. Yeah, he has. He's been a Steelers hater for a few years now,

and a lot of it has been justified, but I saved this screenshot and him actually talking about this when this happened. Because, you know, it just wasn't, he said it so smugly, which really bothered me. It was super smuggled. And he said it so matter of a fact. And, like, when you look at the schedule, like, oh, and six was just insulting. So I'm glad that everyone's being super mean to him on the internet. Yeah.

And that's Dan Orlowski football, isn't it, AJ? Just threw and through right there. I guess that is. Has Dano responded at all? Does he have any comment about it? I never said that. Yeah, he's calling a big game tonight with Lewis Rigg. Tomorrow he'll get his opportunity to respond.

And I assume there'll be a couple of things he'll say tonight that'll be alluding to the city of Pittsburgh. I assume there'll be a little bit of that. That's Dano football, though. It's not just the Steelers fans that are going to kill him this season. He knows that. Welcome to Prime Morlowski season. That's right, DeMono.

Way to go, Dan. It's almost like you do this to yourself. Let's go to the next overreaction, shallie? This is from Mitt. Hashtag I don't want to react. But, abolish the NFL pie. We might as well start calling it football. Whatever the hell, soccer is called across the pond.

I'm tired as absolute dog shite on a Monday because I just sat up until 1 a.m. in honest confusion. Also, the Cowboys Secondary looks worse than my Division 3 alma water, so that's really cool. Hashtag, happy fucking Monday, dude. That's Dow's Cowboy Superfan. And Mitt, you feel the same way, Packer Finn? Yeah.

I mean, not having a result when you stay up for that whole fucking game and, like, you know, invested in it. And then it's like overtime starts at, you know, 1130 or whatever. It's like, let's just get a result. I'm not just saying this. I legitimately would, I would rather they lose than have there be a tie. I think that's what Mitt was saying as well. And Mitt only said it in the way he could speak. Exactly.

I got a good chuckle when I saw, you know, honest confusion. I don't know what that meant. but I loved it. Tie. So is it over? Do you keep playing? So it's 1 a.m. Why are they not on TV anymore?

It's a tie? I thought we got rid of the ties. Remember, because a couple years ago, they changed the rule. Then you were allowed to match, and he weren't allowed to match. That play happens. He probably loses his mind.

We win. We have to. How about how long their drive was? Two drives eating up the entirety of the overtime was insane to think about. Well, that's right 10 minutes. Like, why aren't we just going at 15? There's only...

Maybe no time. Yeah, or just exactly, untimed, yeah. Untimed wouldn't make a lot of sense. Because your rules are ready, the clock doesn't matter. And teams are going to get antsy even if it's untied. I think, like, the assumption is like, well, if it's untimed, what are we just going to kick field goals back and forth, back and forth? Like, I don't think in most games, that's not going to happen.

Someone's going to get antsy. They're going to go forward on fourth down or, you know, whatever the case may be. Like, it needs to be untimed. We would, and it wouldn't take all night. But also, you can still keep the field goal only good to, uh, to, yeah. first two, you can answer. Right. If the first one gets, yeah, if first one gets a touchdown, it's over.

Like, I still think you keep the scoring. Yeah, if it's field goal, field goal, the third field goal wins the game. Yes. Yeah. This team field goal, that team field goal, next field goal win. Yes. Because you had a chance to answer. Bingo, yeah.

I think that is currently the rules, isn't it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. That's currently the rules. Yeah. Because after the first drive, whatever score wins. So just keep that. Just get rid of the time.

No time, yes. Mitt staying up till 7 a.m. At least we got a winner, though. I would have. But we all agree that this is better than sudden death? I don't think so. Yes. You're saying somebody should answer after a field goal?

I'm saying because changes after Josh Allen, but we all grew up on sudden death, first score wins. I like the team getting to rebuttal. Yeah, the field goal rebuttal, I think, is good. Even like the Packers stand, that wouldn't have happened if it was just field goal. True. Yeah, we game over, yeah. Yeah, I think, like getting it back, I think it's.

Well, and also with kickers these days, like a 62-yarder. You only got to get like two first ounce, three first downs, and then you're able to win the game. I think an answer is good. Let's go to the next ever reaction, shall we? It's from Sleeper Chiefs. At Sleeper Chiefs, K.C., hashtag, I don't want to overreact. But? Spags made Lamarth tap out like Anthony Richardson, and the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. Worthy is healthy. Pack on his swaggerback. And we get Rish in less than a month. I hope you forgot. I'm glad everyone had their fun. The Dynasty is here to stay. picture as well. I think the Chiefs is still

the Chiefs. I think that was a nice reminder. Lamar Jackson having a hamstring strain is obviously a little bit scary, especially whenever he exited the game, 17, third quarter. Could still come back, I think, with Lamar Jackson. I guess we'll keep our eyes out for an update on that front.

But I've seen the Ravens fans aren't necessarily loving anything about this, AJ. Stavie had an anonymous mask on. I did see that Stobby is a bit worried. I mean, I don't know how bad, yeah, like, I just hope this isn't like a multiple week situation with the more work they're one and three right now i think raven's fans are definitely worried because everything was set up to be a great year but you know

injuries injuries bite everybody at some point i feel like butter had a bag on his head couldn't even put his hat on butter couldn't even put his hat on that's not good and i think it was all because they baited butter and i believe in this was the year for the ravens and butter bought it yeah butter bought it kind of punishing uh derrick henry too and i think that said him back in his game you saw he took the sleeves off because of the fumbling issue, but I thought, you know, he was running the ball. What would he have like eight carries? That's it.

Something like that, which is insane with a talent like that. We all know the ball is the program, but, I mean, that's tough. And then defensively with all the injuries we talked about it. But, yeah, this was, I would say, more of a must-win game for the Chiefs because of how their division is performing. I think are the Ravens still the favorite to win the FC North right now? Yeah, I mean, they've got so much talent, obviously, with Lamar Jackson as your quarterback. Will he be the quarterback?

how long would be the quarterback and Patrick Mahomes is making throws much like Aaron Rogers that we haven't seen in some time so it's fun to watch them be explosive again

let's go to another overreaction here from the same game this is from Genoblee hashtag I don't want to overreacts but Ravens are shite

Harbaugh is shite Zachor is shite fire sale the whole damn operation but wait

who's got it better than us literally everyone John read the fucking room dude I don't like

John Harbaugh right now. Great use of exclamation points there. No, they do not. Genoblee really did a good job. I don't know if that was actually Mono or just somebody else, but I appreciate that tweet.

Ravens fans are in a bad spot right now. Ravens are in a bad spot. Let's hope they get a fixed. Good luck over there, both more. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we? This is from at BLXK-E-U-4. Is that bloke?

I don't know. Hashtack I don't want to overreact. But? The Colts are the same old Colts. They always put my emotion. in a blender, always dropping the ball Mitchell, A.D., the ball, Mitchell. Seemed like, seemed to like the blue and gold a little more yesterday. Is this cold season down to drain already?

Holy fuck. I said he's playing for the other team. I said, always dropping the ball Mitchell. A.D. Mitchell's guy's playing for the other team. He's fucking got to be. Great play. Great. It's such a good highlight, such a good high.

Just fucking run in the end zone, dude. Just run in the end zone. I mean, at least, though, at least he was trying to hold the ball out, and he didn't just, like, spike it. You know, some guy's spike it at the one. Like, this is better than that. It still is the same outcome, but, yeah, I appreciate that. You could tell, though, it bothered him, though, as a humor.

It definitely bothered him. He didn't, he wasn't nonchalant about it. Like, he understood how big this was. Look, I mean, and I love three stripes. I'm blaming on the gloves. Fix your gloves. You know, all the other gloves are sticky. This is a bad moment for Adidas.

I mean, all these one-hand catches we see week in and week out. But A.D. Mitchell, huge, huge fumble, huge holding call. There were other opportunities we had. It wasn't just this either, A day. This was just a couple of months later. I got hard, I know, I know. Yeah. But, hey, look, if.

Coming into the season, if you said going into week five, we'd be three and one. With our offense, playing, how they're playing, defense, definitely some things we need to switch up. But if you showed us going into week five, we'd be three and one. feel good about it. I have faith in the team. I like where we're at. We should have won that game mightily yesterday a lot and A.D. Mitchell, I got faith, brother. I got faith. Too talented. Way too talented. But if he just continues to do this stuff, inevitably people are going to get tired of it. And I'm not saying people aren't already. There's a lot of people calling for him to be

off the team. It's like, can we hold on? This guy is in a, super talent. This is a real talent here in any given moment he can take over a game. All those bad things happened yesterday and they still had a drive to a chance of tie it at the end? That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. They're a good team. Very good job. Dimes had a couple picks. Tyler Warren, still Tyler

Warren. It's got the next overreaction. This is from Lord Tony, first of his name, King of something. Hashtack, I don't want to ever react, but the Packers have gone from Super Bowl favorites to can they even make the playoffs? I really like love in the floor, but they would never bring Green Bay a Super Bowl.

I don't trust them to do anything, but disappoint us again and again and over, and on, and on, and on, and on. You picked these, so, Ty, was there a lot of this, I assume, out of the Packers Faithful? Yeah, a decent amount of this, a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff basically saying, like, Rich Basace, you fucking suck at your job. And this has been a long time coming. They need to fire his ass. But I didn't want to, I don't want to get in the business calling for people's heads today, you know, because it's still very early. boy, after last night going into the bye week, something's got to change. And I don't want to think that way, but the more you get into these games and like this

kind of shit just happens more and more with the Packers, where like they look so good early, and then they just go like 25 minutes of game time, just so conservative and let teams come back. They don't never step on anybody's throats, ever. And, you know, I don't want to feel that way, but the more it happens, the more I do start to feel like, man, these guys are never going to win a Super Bowl. No, AJ, do you feel that way? Rich Basacha took quite a shot there from Ty and the Internet today.

Obviously, didn't pick that, but they're saying special teams not good. Block extra point obviously changes everything. Or blocked field goal, which goes back the other way for two points. The other way, obviously ends up being a tie. That's quite a swing. Coming off the field goal block last week to lose the game as well, like it's a lot. Oh, AJ. Are you feeling like Lord King, whatever the fuck his name was there in Green Bay?

No, I still have plenty of hope in Green Bay. they can get it done. Like I said before, they are very young. So yeah, inexcusable things at times, for sure. But yeah, tie sucks balls. Rather, rather probably, well, you'd rather win the game, obviously. Tide, this is whatever. But no, no, I think the Packers can still figure this out for sure. Micah is a menace. No matter what, no matter how many sacks he gets, the dude, like, how hard he plays, how much attention he gets, that is going to pay dividend later in the year for everybody. Game saving tackle on Dak Prescott there, which obviously is a bit. We were wondering if Micah was going to wreck the game. We got eight pressures, and then this one right here,

Dak probably scoots in if we had to guess there. Maybe he takes some beating, still gets a Todd wins the game instead. Eight pressure? Micah makes, yeah. Is that good number or no? That's a great number. I just wonder who's coming up with these numbers. Well, however you feel about PFF, he was the highest graded defender of all in all football yesterday. Way ago, Mike. I also saw him on a sideline with the iPad a lot. He's going through a lot of different film, and obviously we saw him come out warming up with the band around. Let's go to the next overreaction at Brain G. 98.

Brian was obviously taken with a G there. Brian Garcia. Hashtack, I don't want to overreact. But the Chargers season is over. Our top three offensive linemen are now. Herbert's run for his life. And Robert doesn't want to hand it off to our first rounder, even though he had 112 on 12 carries.

Defense, just let a rookie expose them. We are cooked. Oh. Chargers fans into dumps. Is that all you feel? Oh, man. one now you are concerned about the offensive line herbert is phenomenal i think he will continue to be phenomenal and i i think a new quarterback is similar to like the interim coach bump you just kind

of never know what you expect you know he's going to bring some juice with the team especially at home so you know that's kind of a wash then o'marian hampton i think he's the silver lining uh from this game and this performance he was great he had a great performance hopefully you see a lot more of this but you don't want you got to see joe out of that boot pretty soon but i also think that was a good sign for him to have that type of injury and then be back on the sideline standing in the boot putting pressure on it doing those type of things i think it's a positive side going forward let's go to another overreaction shall we i don't think the charges are dead this from t-car what up t-core hashtag i don't overreact but watch out 72 dolphins those philly johns are coming

nobody is stopping us wind hail sleet snow these eagles are ready to go just give us to Lombardi already and cancel the season. Hashtag go birds. Hashtag fly eagles fly. A.J. Brown's not even on the field. No. No. Might as well be playing with 10 guys and they're still winning games. That's his Philadelphia Eagles kind of M.O. AJ.

They just win. That's kind of what the Eagles have done with Siriani. And it seems like there's no stopping them at this point. Yeah. Can you pop that that A.J. Brown quote that he put back up again. This is probably a good way, right? Like he said, I'm not going to be a problem. Is this a positive thing that he put this out? I'm not going to be an issue. I'm just going to keep my head down and keep playing until I get the ball. Listen, I'll quietly withdraw.

Okay, so if you guys see what's going on over the next few weeks, I'm listening to this great quote, not cause a scene. I'm just going to quietly withdraw. Siriani's had to balance this the entire time. Remember last year they're the first team to win a Super Bowl in a long time that had way more rushes than they did passes. Obviously what football had become. They pay Jay Brown.

They pay Devonte Smith. They pay the quarterback. You think it's going to be a wide open offense. Kellyn Moore was offense coordinator, but instead they get Seekwan Barkley and have the greatest offensive line in football. We're going to run the ball a bunch, and then hopefully we'll be able to throw it to you as kind of the mindset last year. It's obviously carried into this year, and they're still winning, D-Buddy. Yeah, I mean, but they got to figure out, first and foremost, the run game. You got to get Sequan going. Last year, he was averaging

like four yards to carry before making contact, and now he's not even getting to the line of scrimmage. So figuring that out, Lane Johnson, hopefully he can get healthy. Jalen hurts. I mean, at least they were throwing the ball at AJ and trying to get him. I had like nine targets, even though Peyton, you know, hates talking about targets. He had like nine targets there. We're trying to get them to ball. I just think the bucks did a really good job taking care of them covering them. But they'll be all right. I think it'll be all right. Let's go to the next overreaction. This is from a word on life, a word on life. Hashtag I don't want to react, but the Detroit lines are annihilating the competition. Goff dropping dimes,

stool pancake and defenders into oblivion, St. Brian's snatching souls and the Gibbs Monty do are the best ever. They're not just contenders. They're conquerors. Forging a Dynasty. You've got to love that, Foxy. Ty Schmidt picked this. I think he even agrees with what you guys are cooking up there. Yes, sir. Love everything about it. He talked about the offense. My takeaway from yesterday's game, Aidan Hutchinson's back. He had two sacks,

forced fumble, four quarterback hits. He's all the way back. They're going to have to pay him so much money, so I love where we're at right now. How about the Gibbs Monty duo? Remember, they were calling him ass and cheeks after week one. He said now they're back to Sonic and Knuckles best ever called me. Yeah, I don't know if this guy

watched a game because I think Montgomery got hurt but Gibbs was unbelievable, and so was Goff. Alman Ra, I think, I don't know how many times a guy, excuse me, has the same amount of targets as he does catches. He never, he's throwing it at Alman Ra. Ammon Ra is catching the ball. He's playing so well, it's kind of a bummer, because I don't want the Gooflovski nickname to die, so maybe we can...

I think it's dead. Yeah, well, it's dead. I'm thinking maybe it's for Dono. Maybe it's Don G. Or just Uflovsky. we could do with that. Oofovsky. Yeah, the lines are legit.

I think so, too. Good for you, Fox. Let's go to the next one. This one's Kane Campbell. Hashtack, I don't want to overreact. But, waiting all day for Sunday night. And it ends in a tie?

This isn't JJ's soccer leagues. The group of suits that passed the rule should be sent to the fucking son. Oh, and add the Cowboys clock operator to that flight. Let another second runoff, you fucking bum. A lot of people said, that this morning. That's Jerry World.

The fact that that stopped with one, when that could have easily just gone to zero, LaFleur and Jordan Love are thanking the heavens for whoever's operating that clock down there. Yeah, without a doubt, because watching it in real time, too, like, I didn't think there was any way there was going to be any time left. It was like, oh, Jesus Christ, they're going to actually work themselves into not even getting a

field goal attempt off. Crazy, because you would think that anywhere in the NFL, Jerry World would be the place where Jerry's up there like, Run the fucking clock. Run the goddamn. Fucking zero. Yeah, exactly. All right, last overreaction here.

I don't love this one from Michael Page. Hashtag I don't want to overreact. But we better send EMS to check on blue and the flow. The all-time best Colts team just got put on notice. The Rams are Super Bowl-bound. The Eagles, McVeigh ain't going 0. and 4. Stafford and Pooka will be out there skeet shooting birds out of the sky like the NFC Championship. Congrats to the Rams.

They're a great football team. They're a great football team. All right, AJ. make our picks for tonight. Let's let Debuck go first. Maybe he sets the tone. You need both of these to get above 500. I need both of these so I can say I got four right out of a game of 16. Okay. That's tough. There's two different vibes going into tonight's game. Let's go with first. We have a huge one. Jets taking on the dolphins, 715 on ESPN. Dolphins favored by two and a half at home. What do we need to know about this one here? It is two and a half across the board.

55% of the money is on the Miami Dolphins. To be honest, as far as injuries and stuff like that, I don't care about these two teams at all, so I don't know. Fields is playing. I believe he's good to go with his concussion and then I'm pretty sure

it's relatively healthy. I haven't heard anything about anybody from Miami either. Okay, Debut, your thoughts? You know what? Tour, McDaniel, backs against the wall. Everybody's been shitting on him. I think we have a breakout game from tour. Even though the dolphins didn't send me a jacket don't love that might be out on them but i think too not a lifelong

fan you know you chose you chose four teams you know that's what happens i'm blood in blood out miami but that aside i think tour has a big game over 300 yards i think tyreek hill has a huge game as well because we always show up against shitty teams and uh as right now you are what your record is so o and three on three big time prime time game two shows up dumpy your thoughts yeah i love the dolphins they had they are oh and three I get it. They are shite, but they play decent against the bills. I think they're getting better. Defense looked a lot better. I think they get it done to me, AJ. Who do you got?

I'll take the Jets. Me too, and I'm 2 and 12. And then let's go to the Bengals at the Broncos. Obviously, Mile High is an incredible place. The Orange Crush is a noted fan base. They're favored by seven and a half. Is there anything else out there we need to know? 66% of the money for this one is on the Broncos, as to be expected.

I believe, let me just check. Nope, it's seven and a half across the board. I was hoping you can get a seven with the Broncos, but you cannot. Debut your thoughts? Do not love that hook, that 0.5 after that seven, but I am still going with the Denver Broncos. I trust the quarterback more, and I cannot wait to see Patrick Sertan and Jamar Chase go at it all that.

Oh, in front of that crowd. They're going to roll up this crowd out there, big time. Triple crown winner from last year, Jamar Chase. Defensive player of the year, I mean, this is big on big, baby. Prime time matchup. Who do you got, AJ? I don't like seven and a half. I think that is a lot.

I do like the Broncos. I think this is a game that they're going to hopefully find a way to win, win big, and build momentum that springboards them for the rest of the year. I like the Broncos as well. They're a good football team. Coach just beat them. I mean, that might be the first time AJ's ever picked against Cincinnati. I know.

He feels bad, especially after last week. How could you not have that taste in your mouth? Yeah. Joe Burroughs out, buddy. Starting QB insurance we're talking about. All right, let's have a great Monday night. Doubleheader, 715, 815. We'll be back tomorrow to chit chat about all of it.

Be a friend, tell him something nice. it might change their life we're in this thing together team on me team on three one two three goodbye and on the way out here on the way out here we'd like to show you

a show that we were edited, produced whatever you call it it's going to be debuting tomorrow it's called Rushmore it'll live full episodes exclusively on X although we'll have clips across

all social media platforms it's the goats of their industry basically giving their Mount Rushmore's for instance tomorrow's episode is called receivers the host Ari Emanuel Yes, that Ari Emanuel. Ari Gold from Entourage, now the owner of TKO and everything like that. Hosts alongside Ben Persky, founder of a record label and also a mixed management company.

They kind of host it and then two goats come in to give their Mount Rushmore. Tomorrow, receivers, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are on there. In every single week, like for instance, there's a music one, Jimmy Iveen, Rick Rubin. There's a video game one. Elon Musk is on there talking. I mean, you're talking about the greatest guest list ever assembled. episodes we'll be dropping on Tuesday. Tomorrow's the first one.

Rushmore on X. Tomorrow's receivers, it's worth it. We'll be talking about it tomorrow, and we're thankful to be a part of it. We'll see you then. Enjoy Monday night. I'll be on the record saying this is impossible to pick these people.

Oh, shut the fuck up. Randy Moss was faster than every DVD. I'm going to go with Rob. He influenced me, Tom. Your former changed by the order in Tom's presentation. Yes, of course. I started this idea.

I can change. I don't know how I consider argue against Randy Moss. I drove seven hours. in the middle of night to host him on a visit to Tennessee. I'm not okay with Gronk over Mark. I'm not signed the release and letting Tom come away with two Patriots. I don't have you know I don't have one colt. This is about Rushmore of receivers which includes for our purposes here also tight ends.

It's the worst list of those are okay. Okay, that's the worst list. Oh, he could do it. Yeah, he could do it. What? My hobbies last same time with friends and family and video games. I was looking at some list of things that that turn women off the most, and one is if your hobby is video games. Finals against the Lakers, up by 15. 16. I think it was 15. I called the game.

I was at that game. You were at the game, but I called the game. Yeah, I'm sitting there next to Phil. You have Iowa, Iowa State wrestling in your mountain wrestling. What are you talking about? Okay, so what was your second one? No, you're absolutely wrong. I was a kid when you were still pissing off curbs.

I bought that fucking record, and that was a ban. No Redding.
