Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley, Bo, the Draft Kings Thunderdome. On this overreaction Monday, August 10, 2026, this sports program begins now. Football! It is happening all around us this weekend. We got a chance to celebrate some greats, getting immortalized forever at the NFL Hall of Fame or the Professional Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Obviously, there were some jokes told into a microphone by a kicker from South Dakota, who, found his way to be the all-time leading score in the NFL's history in a game that keeps, you know, score having the most amount of points in its history. Is that good?

Yeah, it is good. Hall of Fame, good, gets his gold jacket, gets his bust, gets his jokes off. Hope he had a good time. He'll be joining us here in about 40 minutes or so with a little bit of a follow-up to any of the reaction from anything he had to say as we enjoyed the hell out of the weekend. It's always like a reunion over there in Canton, especially with the first Indianapolis Colts team that I was very lucky to be a part of. A lot of those guys have gotten in, so Indianapolis has kind of figured out what to do over in Canton, Ohio. The after party that the Ursa's put together along with some help from the Kraft family. My understanding with the New England Patriots, but a lot of the Ursa's work.

The after party was phenomenal. We all had a blast. Everybody celebrated not only just the Hall of Famers as a whole, Adam Venetieri's greatness, but just football was celebrated in a huge way. And as Chris Berman led that entire thing off by saying, And anytime you're in Canton celebrating the game's greatest of all time, it does feel like football is back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back. Let me get that out of the way.

He did incredible. It was a fun weekend. And I hope someday everybody gets a chance to have moments like this with people that they used to be around every single day. You know, because, like, football locker rooms, football teams, every single day you're with the person all day, every day, eating the same meals, traveling in the same plane, staying in the same hotels, dealing with the same speeches, dealing with the same heat, you name it, going through an entire season.

Bonds are literally built forever. And then one day something happens and either somebody leaves a team or it's over and you don't really see people except for like maybe sounds terrible, but real funerals. Maybe if a team want a championship, there's a reunion. But very rarely do you get a chance to celebrate everybody that's kind of been a part of something? Everybody showed a lot of love to Adam Venetary and we had a blast on his behalf. I think it's very much like a wedding where like the bride and groom work.

Sure. And then everybody else just has a blast. around it. We did that. It wasn't just me, obviously, nine-year NFL vet, host of everything, DB, good, D, bad D, and also the Super-Duper match-up show. NFL matchup. On ESPN EEOChed,

Derry Shadey Butler. Yes, ESPN, too, but like you said, it was great. Obviously, having that reunion with the different kind of eras of the Colts and then, you know, seeing some of the Patriots legends, and then just random gold jackets just showing up, you know, congratulating Adam and the rest of the guys going in,

just having conversations, like, Going to the Hall of Fame is so cool because you're having conversations with guys that you looked up to as a kid, you know, the football, you know, nerd, lover. I mean, you know, Warren Moon, Steve Atwater, just Joe Thomas, obviously guys we play with in the league at the same time. And then obviously, you know, celebrating the goat, Vinny, man, it was great seeing all the coats in there. It was, it was awesome, man. Warren Moon's son needed just two minutes of my time. Nice. Oh, okay. What do you say?

We never got it. What do you mean? Well, the beginning of the two minutes, the beginning of the two minutes, Warren, comes over. Great to see you, Warren. How you doing, man? Great to see you. I've had an incredible times with Warren Moon before. Warren Moon and I, I think Warren Moon is one of the most incredible humans to ever exist, just the way he operates. And what he did, not only, CFL, obviously, the NFL, everything like that, Warren Moon, I call it in my eyes. Plus, what I've seen him do and how we are. I love Warren Moon. Big Dapup, good to see you. Daughter,

Blair, I believe, good, hey, how you doing? Took a photo. Son comes up. I just need two and a half, three minutes of your time. I go, three minutes. That's a lot of time. Jeez, at least, at that moment, we get shoot into another part of, like, the room. We get kind of moved in a bunch of Hall of Ferris in there, sweet. We get over to this party. He goes, how about two minutes? I go, that's awesome. Okay, let's go. I can do two minutes. I got, let's do it.

I was excited. At that time, Dad Warren goes, oh, let's get out of here, grabs him. And I go, oh, man, never going to get that two minutes. And his reaction was damn! He literally walked out. It was like a movie, but everything was like a movie there. Yeah. I mean, I looked down, he's shit chatting with Devin Hester and Andre Johnson. I'm literally looking down.

I'm like, oh, good to see you guys. How you doing everybody? Old throwback teammates. And then Carolina Panthers are celebrating Luke Keeckley right across the parking lot. So you see Greg Olson, you know, Beano's there celebrating Keeley. Luke Combs is walking around. All the greats. I mean, it was a cool thing to be there. And the fact that Dravasi Vineyards, by the way, got to give them a shout out.

They have a wonderful thing going on over there. Beautiful. Yeah, great setup. Feels like a good business plan, too. Hey, let's just have the nicest things. maybe in Ohio. Oh, yeah. There's every year available. These villas, they have these massive villas, the lighting, the situation. It's on a vineyard. We walk in, you drive in, there's a restaurant, there's a plaza, there's a park in there. Then there's all these villas. And then it's just all set up soup the nuts, basically, by everybody. The Ursa family did a phenomenal job.

Oh, yeah. The Panthers did an incredible job. I've heard the Arizona Cardinals and the Saints, obviously went crazy. And then there was a wedding reception happening on property as well. That's awesome. Yeah, they went the longest. I'll let you know, I was within earshot of them. want the absolutely long display. It was fun celebrating the greats. The Toxatap was here at Boss of Connor and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the Hammer. Cowboys AP Ton is here. Any time, you know,

you do have the Hall of Fame game. It is, hey, we're back. Oh, yeah. Especially when it's the best Hall of Fame game, maybe that's ever happened. Ratings back? Seven million viewers average. Insane. That's the whole thing. That's crazy. So we're going to, in your immediate mind,

you think of AFC Championship, NFC, Championship, Super Bowl numbers. You go, 7 million. seems low for the NFL. It's like, I don't know what this is in comparison to all the other Hall of Fame games. Most watched since 2017. I don't know what was happening in 2017 or 2016, but the fact that 7 million average watch people, these, Carson Beck, love him. Sure. Absolutely love him. Love what Kenny Pickett was able to do. Heens King was able to do. But all these guys, we have no idea. No clue. This could have been a U.F.L game. You know, this could have been a U.S. game. You put Carson Beck in there.

And they're getting $7 million. And I think that's strictly because not only how much we love ball, not only how much we love the history and the importance of the Hall of Fame and how we honor the greats, but it is because it does feel like football is all the way back. And on that note, the Hall of Fame game provided some electricity. There's highlights coming from every single training camp. We should go camping a little bit, should we? Yeah, let's go camping.

Okay, let's go to Cleveland, Ohio. You know, there's a quarterback battle brewing over there. You know, last week there was a stat coming out of at ESPN Cleveland. Deshawn Watson had seven touchdowns, zero interceptions in one practice. Everybody said, wow, how's that happening? Well, it was Redzo. But still, he was a assassin with the rock. Well, let's go to him and KC. Conception out of Texas, A&M, rookie returner.

Great body control and a snag. Hey, give me that in the Guardian cap, as is such, I assume, for everybody. He's electrifying. What he did in college was not only as a wide receiver, elusive, fast, you name it. As a returner, he's electrified. I'm excited to see Todd Munkin take advantage and if Deshawn Watson's getting comfortable with him early. Look, maybe the Cleveland Browns have a young stud for offensive rookie of the year, Dibut. He definitely would be a sleeper for that.

If he can consistently catch the ball, he has juice. If he can consistently catch the ball for his Cleveland Brown's offense, he can definitely be a weapon in year one. Well, maybe he's not offensive rookie because have you seen what's going on down in Nashville? Cornell Tate. Ah, ha! Jouse! Snag! Trag!

How you doing, Cornell Tate? Welcome to the Yonnell. NFL, even though we're only in practice. It's not just one catch. It's like every single time we're seeing something come out of the Tennessee Titan social media team with an 8K camera. He snagged by Cornell Tate. You see the Buckeyes fan saying, well,

everybody's surprised that he's catching everything. This is literally what he did at Ohio State. This Ohio State wide receiver factory, they got cooking, might have found the next Terry McLaur in here. Not as hyped as everybody else, but still unbelievable. That could be Cardinal Tate's trajectory quickly. Yeah, just like Emeka Abuka, it feels like because Jeremiah

Smith is such a freak at Ohio State that they're number two receivers kind of get forgotten about, but they are also number one receivers all over the place. Okay, let's talk about another number one wide receiver up there in Buffalo. They debuted a new stadium. People were very pumped. The Nickel City uniforms are trash, but we do know Khalil Shakir has been making a play since he got to Buffalo. Obviously, Josh Allen very comfortable with him. I like him. Whoa. Slide tag going on there. Oh, I thought he was going to do the golf thing. Okay, so he was the only one that had to wear the jerseys. The quarterback's Yeah. Instead of the red.

Get to. Yeah, you're right. You get to wear the Nickel City. We'll be talking to Josh Allen at about 105 Eastern today about that slide catch stand-up celebration with Shikir there, which we certainly appreciate. Brought to you by Wegmans. Yeah. You need anything you stopped by your way. That's right.

It's good grocery. Eat some mayonnaise. Wegmans got it. And with some chicken wingies. Weigman's got it. Hey, I need some milk. Wegman's got it. Sugar.

Wegman's got it. Splendah. Weggner's got it. A Super Bowl. I don't know if they have that. They don't. They have Super Bowls. Yeah.

But they don't have the Super Bowl. No. Buffalo needs that. Is this going to get it done? We shall see. Is the new stadium in the new uniform is going to get it done, debug? We shall see beautiful, beautiful new stadium. The jerseys might be growing on me.

No. No. I'm not sure. Like, CFL uniform. All right. Let's go to the Saints. Let's go to the Saints. We'll talk to Josh Allen about it all.

Here's Jordan Tice. How you doing, pal? How's he? Lorge. What's he do? Magic. Hey, hey. Jeez.

Give me that. Now, with the toe tapy tap, Tyler Shuck, obviously, spinning that. And then let's go for another one, shall we? Oh, this is Alt Angles. Sorry, let's go ahead and watch him cook. Debo, what are you supposed to do there, pal?

I mean, that's different. This guy, Jordan Tyson, should be the one. If he can stay healthy, I feel like this is. We're talking about offensive rookie year. This would be the guy at the top of that chart for me. He is unbelievable the size, the speed, but for him to be able to move like that at that size,

like that's rare kind of movement ability, especially at the top of the route. I'm excited to see what him and old Shuck do down there in New Orleans. Is this DB need to check himself right into I'm selling insurance academy, or is he going to be up there? No, we'll see. We'll see. You know, good route, tough route, good throw.

You want to see a little less cushion between the outbreaker there, but at least get in the frame. God, you're not even in the frame. My boy, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Bad rep. He'll bounce back. We shall see, yeah.

Let's go up to Detroit, not a lot of positive coming out of there other than highlight. Good Lord. Guess who's back? Back again. Gibbs is back. Tell a friend. How much you guys pay him? Highest paid running back in NFL history, Pat.

Well deserved. Well deserved. Well deserved. I watched this rabbit out running two cougars or something out on a field on social media. Did we all saw that? Oh, yeah. Unbelievable. Just the sense of awareness that that rabbit feels like watching Gibbs out here on the thing.

He's untouchable, untacklable. Even whenever they're not tackling, it's tough to get him down. Two-hand touch. That guy probably pushes him out of bounds. But he's into Grinchiello or Greens. I appreciate that. It's great to see him back on the field as a Lions fan, I would assume. Yeah, 100%.

I love that they're showing him. Run the ball and catch the ball because he is such a weapon. He's outstanding. We go as Gibbs goes this year. Well, Jared Goff celebrating in the back. He thinks that's six. That would be a long way. Obviously, Gibbs could do.

that. Is MCDC calling a plays up there, man? No, we got Drew Petsing. He's from the Cardinals from last show. He's known as a super genius. That's what people are calling him. Got Jacoby 17 million a year. Yeah. I do appreciate that. MCDC, though, has had an efficient offense since he's been there. And he has told many people publicly that I'm credit for that man. Just a little bit. I mean, I'm here too, man. And I think they're going to continue to do that. Will the defense be good, D, but up there? That is the big question. We'll see year two now with Kelvin Shepard, how he just, how he evolves as a DC, but offensively, I mean, they got all the weapons.

Well, Detroit's going to have to face the team from Green Bay twice, and I'll tell you what, they had their night practice in Lambeau, and it was sold out, and Jordan Love goes deep to Matthew Golden. First round pick on a wide receiver, obviously ignited the entire Green Bay Packer fan base, especially Ty, who was obviously in attendance at the draft in Green Bay. Sold out spring, this is normal? Yes, very much so. Yep. This is unbelievable that they're able to fill it up.

Obviously, Packers fans are like a college fan base, which is why the drafts so special, which is why anywhere the Packers go is normally sold out. This is an absurd feel. Made me feel like football was back. I couldn't even imagine what a Packers fan felt like. Yeah, absolutely. And then, you know, just to top it off, you know,

you got the connection that kind of every Packers fan is waiting on. And then if they're going to be good this year, like those guys need to be on the same page. So seeing Jordan Love hit Matthew Golden Deep like that like I'm just hoping that's a small morsel of what's to come and then yeah doing it in front of a sold out crowd at lamo under the lights nothing better yeah so the entire time just goes over there pretty much and I think this is also like a lot of people who maybe either you know aren't going to be able to go to a regular season game so then come to something like this and then obviously

it's a bunch of season ticket holders as well watch short and love throw a deal to matthew have a good time beautiful maybe go down a slide over there yeah maybe have a couple cocktails well what world's kind of your oyster that point, especially when you're watching deep ball touchdowns like that. I'll tell you what deep ball touchdowns would be cool. Christian Watts, I forgot how big he is. He comes into the frame to celebrate with him. He's a monster. I'll tell you what, coming

off the bus, Jordan Love, gigantic too, right? Yeah, yeah. Tucker Kraft's a big sum bitch as well. I saw he's almost back. Wow, are the Packers moving? We'll see. We'll see. Gotta stay healthy. Got to stay healthy. Got to get healthy and then got to stay healthy. You know what? I'm looking through the list here. No Vikings highlights. Just a lot of tweets saying nobody knows who's

going to get a quarterback out of there. We will move to the NFC South. Let's go to Dallas Cowboys. Hey, turns out the guy that everybody says is going to be good in the NFL, probably going to be good in the NFL. Caleb Danz, one-on-one, C.D. Lamb, number one wide receiver, big time money, rookie. Yeah,

I mean, just falls even a little bit, gets back on path, hits the body but doesn't get a penalty debut. It seems to be clinic, it seems like, out of Caleb Donz. Yeah, we watch and play boots on the ground multiple years, multiple games, and everyone we talked to him, both of those teams that he played for in college said, this is the

one. And now seeing this, like this route right here, He's trying to get picked right here by pickings. He gets over it. Stumbles still gets back to CD Lamb and makes a play on the slot fade, which is one of the toughest routes in the league of guard. And once again, one-on-one with one of the best wide receivers in the back-in-zone making the play. We saw him with his run fits. We know he can tackle.

He hits like a ton of bricks. We know it communicates. So, yeah, he's everything you want when you're drafting a safety as high as they drafted him. Oh, speaking of as high as they drafted him. If you knew a guy was going to be a day-one starter, day-one player, which is what everybody was saying, right? Oh, yeah, Gold Jacket, Day-one player. They said that at Alabama, as a freshman, whenever he got on campus, they said, this guy's

going to have a gold jacket, whatever's all said and done. And everybody that's ever been around him, including Matt, Patricia, said, yep, everything they're saying is true. And he still falls to 11 just because he plays safety. I don't think I fully comprehend everybody's mindset. But if he's going to continue to do this from jump, it's like, yeah, everybody has said that that this is what this guy is. It's unbelievable.

I'm very thankful we're getting to watching because they're comparing him, obviously, to Ed Reed and all these other phenomenal safeties who are able to do it. Troy Paul, him, all those names even get mentioned because of his sense of feel and understanding and maybe baby Jesus is talking to him just like Troy Paul de Malu had and everything. We didn't have that. We don't really have that right now. So if he is that, thank you from the football to the football gods for sending him into the NFL. But also, I don't understand why it's like, well, he plays safety, though. It's like, okay. They're saying this guy's the first ballader since he's 17 years old. There's no value, the chart. It's the chart. It's crazy to me.

It's crazy to me. But they're in those rooms. We're not for good reason. Yeah, exactly. And the Cowboys probably got another great draft pick. But you mentioned it with the Patriots when it comes to AJ Brown versus Christian Gonzalez, how big that is? Like how huge is it for him also to go in immediately day one? And you have the best wide receiver duo probably Pickens and CD Lamb going up against some every day. On that note, here's CD going deep, just a nice sort of reminder of who he is. Yes, Caleb Downs having a hell of a camp, but CD is still CD, and you can see me in,

yeah, deep deep for his CD Lamb. Unbelievable. Him and Dak Prescott obviously going to have another huge year with GP on a franchise tag. How does that end up working out. Okay, let's go to the Arizona Cardinals. a lot of people were dancing, and this guy's demise, turns out it might have been a little bit early. Marvin Harrison, ha-ha, shaky, bakey, cookie, catchy, titty.

I love everything the Marvin Harrison is doing here because there was a lot of clips coming out of him seemingly not being able to catch a football. And I was getting a little bit worried, even as a fan of Marvin Harrison, Jr., like, you know what, maybe this guy has got out of catch football. Maybe he is going to have to do something. Maybe he's going to have to go on his own little journey back to football.

Instead, he just had a little bit of a hiccup and everybody was spotlighting it. He's all the way back. We need not to worry, right? Not to worry, though. I think Maserati Marv is back. Now, the thing about him, he doesn't create a ton of separation, but he's always making tough, tough catches. I would like to see him start to create more separation.

Some of that comes with the play calling as well, but you grab McBride, who's one of the best tight-ins in the league, and then was a Michael Wilson last year. He had a big-time year. So I think 18 should take a huge leap this year with Jacoby percent and that Cardinals offense. I was saying Arizona, Carson Beck. Is this Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rogers?

No, it's Carson Beck. What? No, it's Carson Beck. What? That's Carson Beck. What? You're looking right throwing down the middle. Yeah, right, safety.

He was doing that in a Hall of Fame game. Yeah. This guy's been in training camp for six days. Hasn't even finished a full Americana with two extra espresso. This guy just got to the NFL. Yeah. He played 155 games in college because he was everywhere. That's not on him.

That's what the rules were. This guy's experience. He's been in the biggest stages. As a freshman, he was in a national championship. Then obviously his entire life has been spotlighted. He's comfortable enough in a new offense. Hey, yeah. That's Carson Beck Football.

Borgie. Carson Beckfoot. Hey, Jacoby got paid. Love it. Are we sure? This guy isn't going to be the starring quarterback of the Arizona. I'm mad you guys.

I'm mad you guys let Dan O. Come on here. After the Hall of Fame game. You should have seen this defense as he would. Look at that. He wasn't full Miami covered. That was that was wild, Dan. I almost shot him a text after that.

But, yes, we love to see this. You don't think they're running exotic in the Hall of Fame game? This guy went to Miami, D. I love Carson, I remember been on a festival in the field, watching this guy do his thing. I love Carson Beck, and I think he just needs to keep doing what he's doing. I think he'll be in a good, good position going for. I'm not going to jump the gun, though.

We got, you know, let's keep going. I was like you didn't watch that clip. Keep going. No, look at that. That was clean. Cardinals. See? Tom, God.

Hey, maybe Arrow trending up after Hall of Fame weekend when there's a year. I'll take their over three and a half. I will too. That is so rude Isn't that what it is? That is so rude. That's what it is. They're playing 17 games.

We didn't set the line. Is that the real line? Who did? I don't know. But if it was me, I would have set it up for. Share my love. I'm taking that.

It's juice. It's minus 1.30 of the over, so it's juiced a bit to the over. Okay, we would like to, if you would like to join us as a team, responsibly and of age, if you'd like to join us on the best sports book on Earth,

We are all riding. I'm sorry, I lie. I'm not taking. Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me look at the schedule first. You guys are the whole. Oh, no, look. Mark has had a catch.

Are we sure that's a no look? Yeah. Can we see that from the front? He's looking way over to the right. Oh, D and right. Oh, threw it to the B. Yeah, right. He's running a knee to the B, brother.

You don't understand. You can never in a million years. All I'm saying is they have all the makings of a potential go football team. Thank you, just like the Panthers. Exactly. Okay, so three and a half. I'm there. I can see it.

I can see it. I'm there. Okay. This is unbelievable. 17 times they're going to line up. I mean, they got the Niners a week 18. The Niners might not be able to feel a team by then. So maybe there's one.

Or two, they have three before that. They only need three more after that. Exactly. Okay. This is a highlight thing. Yeah. Let's get out of Jacksonville Jaguar. We know what they're going to be.

Trevor Lawrence, an absolute stallion. Liam Cohen. John Gordon leading the way down there. Hey! Parker, Washington, catch over his shoulder. Let's do a little dance. Let's spin a very good spin, I would say. There's been some poor spins around camp,

and everybody's in training camp mode, obviously. I think he's down at the two there, so it's not a touchdown, definitely a first down. Good spin, though, I do appreciate that out of him. Jacksonville Jaguars vibes through the roof for me. Especially after I hear John Gordon say, me and Liam, we sat down and said, how are we going to make a super positive, super duper,

place. They did just that. They try to beat Parker Washington every single day. It's kind of been the thing of the camp and no one has done it yet. He's been the star of the camp. He's kind of been the star since halfway through last year when they started getting good. They're expecting big things out of him. I think I heard Liam Cohen said he trusts this guy so much. He made him his emergency contact.

That's how much you trust 11. I love I remember last year during the season. It was like week five or six and I actually don't know what it was, but Parker Washington and since then I feel like he's been making plays every week. Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr. Obviously, Lawrence, did Trevor Lawrence make that jump?

We saw him take a huge leap forward last year. We'll see if the Jaguars can continue being on that hot street. All right, let's head down to University of Texas here as we wait for Adam Schaefter to get all set up as he's heading to a golf event. Cam Coleman, trades for from Auburn, number two wide receiver in the country behind Jeremiah Smith. He goes to Auburn. Obviously, nobody gets to see it outside of the Auburn fan base, who is a very, very large one, from my understanding. That's right. Cam Coleman heads to Texas, though.

He's got Archmanon through... Aye. Full snag. Big grab. Sarkeesian's got weapons on top of weapons. Is this the year that Texas runs it? We shall see. I don't see why not.

Are you sure Archmanning threw that football? I hope not. Like Sark might have thrown. I think it was tipped. Yeah, the line. Yeah, I would hope so. But him, Wingo, is there other star as well, right? This might be the year,

especially because I think the Texas Longhorns of the story over the weekend. Got a guy back from the NFL. He ended up going. They're not the only one. I think there's a couple. But I do think that's the only guy that had tryouts, I think, with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yeah, this whole fifth year, six year eligibility thing with a new rule being changeover and with a judge, which I guess is the new thing in the NCAA that they can't beat is just some judge saying, no, you can do whatever you want to do. And they go, see, I can do whatever I want to do. And now they were doing that. And I guess they're allowed to come back, a couple people who did not get signed to teams. I guess if you got signed to a team, you can't do it, I think. Okay.

But if you want and dabbled and then I think you're allowed to. Kind of like the NBA, how the NBA does the thing where you can go. But on that note, is anything real? Nope, you could just sue and... Because we don't have any type of authority for the NCAA, which is what the Protect College Sports Act is, which, by the way, did not get in before the recess. Come on.

Awful news. That was news that broke this weekend. Yeah. As expected, Protect College Sports Act just fails to meet the floor before recession. show a long path remains I'd say because you get 30 days where these people who are paid to represent our people of our country just take off who does that with a full-time job I don't understand teachers I guess have that for like summer yeah but they're they're obviously yeah

they obviously do that entire thing so I don't know how this is a thing this is me as sports person just learning that this happens I assume this has been happening since the beginning at time so that they can just kind of do away with their responsibilities for a while while the weather's really nice still? Yeah, I mean, it kind of sounds like it. I don't know, though. I mean, that's politics. They do what they got.

I'm sure there's really good stuff happening here. Get back talking to the constituents. Yeah, get back in there, shake hands, kind of see you feel. Yeah, you're right. Down of the pavement, not on doors. You're right. And decide we're going to get things done, you know, when we get back in there. What turns out, though, allegedly what we heard is once they get back after the recent election season.

Oh. Yeah, college sports act. I don't think so. But then there was a report. Ted Cruz, who's one of the founders of the bill, alongside Democratic lady from Minnesota. Eric Schmidt is one of them as well. That's from Missouri, yes.

And anyways, there's a Democratic lady as well. This is a bipartisan bill. Ted Cruz, I believe, came out and said, we got on Doc to be the first thing you voted on September. So that's where we're at. Okay. But if we don't, if nothing... The season.

Not dead yet. I'll tell you what. Sanky was in, Petiti was in. All the commissioners are in, right? Yeah. This is the first time that anything's ever been completely yesed and then by the sports people. And then all of a sudden now, obviously,

the politic people say, actually, we all got time. Sorry about it. But politics people are saying it's worse enough that we're going to look at it when we come back. I choose being an optimist to say they'll do that. Have to. Maria Cantwell is the other one. No, there it is.

Maria Cantwell. We appreciate that. Yeah. So they're going to get that done. And let's stick with training camp, shall we? Let's go over to St. Vincent. Did you see the hijinks? Aaron Rogers playing defense.

Whoa. Yeah, he's got the red cap on too, so they're looking for him. D, but anytime a quarterback gets in like this, it's such a good boost to the morale of the team. Yeah, sure. Especially a 42-year-old, what, 42, right? Yeah. You got 42-year-old quarter. I mean, just letting me know, hey, my hand's in a pile, so I'm still all in.

I'm doing all the hijinks bullshit. I'm having fun out here. If I can do it, you can do it. Yeah, I think that's the thing about Aaron Rogers, especially with Rogers' realm out there. He's trying to impress him and show him, like, everything that's possible. And it does feel like it's first-day mental. And that's what we love about Aaron Rogers. He came on our show,

a lot some people hear some stuff. He did, that's right. That's some things you wanted out there. He's obviously incredibly happy and he married. Yeah. And he's with the lads out there. It feels like Steelers' lads are very round. Vives are high.

Everybody kind of understands, like, hey, this is the last go of this thing. I assume he's enjoying everything a little bit more than maybe he ever has because he's understanding and taking it all in as a chapter of his life, a large portion of his life, who's potentially come to an end. And now he's playing a little defense for the boys. Ty, this is what Green Bay maybe misses a little bit without him there. Everybody talks about the no looks and the ability to not turn the ball ever and lead a team and all that type of stuff.

I think the hijinks that happened in practice may be missing in Green Bay Area. You know what? I will say I do miss the hijinks a little bit because Jordan Love isn't exactly a hijinks guy. You know, you don't see a whole bunch of, you know, oh, satin gum or any of that kind of stuff. Jordan Love's not really doing that, but it does get, it does make you pretty nostalgic. It does, you know, to see Raj out there just having a good time. They play each other this week? They do.

Thursday night in DeBerg. Really? So maybe that has something to do with this? Yeah. Oh, no. Do you preseasoned O'Amma? I don't think there's preseasoned O'Mamas. Good call.

I don't know. It's preseason for the fans, too. To be honest, I don't know. It's been a long time since I've been to appreciating. Green Bay, Pittsburgh on NFL Network. Hell yeah. Thursday, 7 o'clock. Obviously, preseason week one is going to showcase to all of us

what our teams look like in their helmets. It's going to showcase to all of us. us what an opening snap could look like. And other than that, we cannot be overreacting to this stuff. Joining us now as a man, who's senior NFL insider for ESPN, Michigan man, and also, I guess, a golf conversator. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Schaeftier.

Yeah, Jeffty. Gentlemen, how are we doing today? Okay, so what are you got going on there, man? You're doing the golf? We're doing a little something with golf today, something with Tommy Fleetwood and Camboozer here in Memphis for the day. Yeah. So I'm in the chair where Tommy Fleetwood,

will be joining you here a short time from now, Pat, so I'm keeping the share warm for him right now. Well, thank you for doing that. Make sure you ask some hard questions. You know, you're a journalist people. We're going to expect you to ask some follow-ups to all the lads. We'll be talking to Tommy Fleetwood in about an hour. He's obviously the reigning FedEx Cup champion and Tour champion. He would be defending his crown in the state jewel championship at the beginning of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Top 70 players make it there.

Then next weekend, the top 50 players make the BMW championship. And then it all comes down to the top 30 players for the Tour championship. in the FedEx Cup. And Adam Schaefter's boots on the ground asking him and Cam Boozer questions. Yeah. I don't know how that makes any sense, but I appreciate you doing it. And we appreciate you being there. Let's ask a little bit about some NFL stuff, shall we?

Carson Beck, what a performance in Arizona. Our first reaction is, wow, this guy's unbelievable. Then we're seeing highlights of him no look. And Marvin Harrison's making catches again. What is the word around Carson Beck's maybe opportunities with Arizona since dominating in the Hall of Fame game? And if you want to be quick on this one yes or no, whether or not we should be viewing him as a potential starter, you can certainly do that as there's other more pressing issues around the NFL. Well, I don't know that he's going to start the season, Pat, but I do think at some point this season,

we definitely could get a look at Carson Beck as a starter before next year. So the Cardinals can get an idea of what they do or don't have. He looked great in that preseason game. Now, you're just cautioning not to overreact to anything that happens in the preseason. So I don't want to get too worked up. about Carson Beck, but I will say this. The quarterback play in that game from Carson Beck and Haynes King, the Panthers quarterback, I think it was the best quarterback play that I've ever seen in the Pro Football

Hall of Fame game, which isn't saying much, but those guys went up and down the field, the two guys, it was entertaining, it was compelling, it was really fun to watch. They both showed that there are spots for them in this league, and Carson Beck's going to make the Cardinals. he's going to be a backup at some point. The question is, is he going to be the two or three with Jacobi Brissette and Gardner-Minsch there? And at some point, they're going to have to get an idea of what he can do. And Haynes King is somebody that I think is going to have a role there in Carolina this season.

He's going to make the team. And it wouldn't shock me if they wound up using him in a Tassum Hill role there in that same division. Yeah, and it would be awesome to see Haynes King, incredible leader. We got a chance to catch up with him on college game. It was by far a best interview with a player down on the field. And you chit-chat about, you know, Haynes King and Carson Beck having the best display of quarterbacking that we've seen in the Hall of Fame game. They both played a lot of football, too, in college. This NIL stuff, I think, is making some guys stick around.

So maybe, like, the potential mediocre actually get a little bit better or good before their road to great potentially in the NFL. And obviously, you always have to land in a good situation. We hope the best for both of them. Let's talk about a situation that's brewing over there in Minnesota. So you have mentioned numerous times, okay, this is a quarterback competition. Ian Rappaport was over there. got done talking to all the parties that are in the conversation, literally just minutes out of a meeting. And he goes, this is a quarterback competition. That's all anybody's saying.

Local beat reporters are reporting like, hey, both these guys are having good. Both these guys look like ass sometimes. There's really no seemingly lean one way or the other. Is that how we should be reading this quarterback competition? And how long is this thing going to go? Is this going to go into the season, potentially, until they figure out who really wants the job or who earns the actual job? Look, they have been determined to have this play out in the preseason, and they had a night practice last night where both quarterbacks were a little bit uneven, and both quarterbacks had their moments as well. J.J. McCarthy made a couple of great throws. Kyler Murray at one point threw a nice touchdown pass to Jordan Addison. This was at the night scrimmage last night, and I don't know that they're prepared right now to say that one quarterback has distinguished himself to win that job. They have three preseason games.

I think in a perfect world, what you'd like to do, maybe, is give each guy one start with the starting offense and the starting offensive line, and then make that decision by the third game and have that guy run the offense as almost like a dress rehearsal for your regular season opener. But it doesn't sound like they're ready to declare a winner right now. I do think it's going to play out here into training camp into the latter part of this month. and we'll see what Kevin O'Connell decides. And I think the big question really also isn't who's going to win the starting job. Is that guy going to be the starter for most of the season? If Kyle Murray wins it and he doesn't play great out of the gate, would they then go on to J.J. McCarthy and vice versa.

If J.J. McCarthy wins it, would they then have a short leash and go to Collar Murray at some point in time? So I think we'll get an answer for the short term here, but there are some long-term questions and ramifications that I think we should have on our radar as well. You're always thinking long-term ramifications. Yeah, I have to. Always, especially whenever you draft quarterback that high out of Michigan, and then you move on from a quarterback that could potentially have won the NFL MVP that year, and then he would go on to win a Super Bowl.

You know, there's ramifications for a lot of things that you do, that lead to situations that you are currently in. And on that note, if either of these guys kind of hit it and play great football, that offense could be outrageous. I mean, it is such a good seat for that quarterback to be in. There's other stories, obviously, brewing around camp. Justin Jefferson just has your Y receiver. And then just the thought of Kevin O'Connell designing an offense for you to be successful

is something that I think a lot of quarterbacks would dream of. Good luck to both those guys. We just assumed it'd be Kyler Murray's job. And then all these reporters are like, we assume same. This is not going how we thought it was. Good luck to both of them as they earn a job. Another huge story coming out of training camp this weekend is that boy Kirk Cochains back out. out there? Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Shepty, what's

going on with the Raiders? Does Max Crosby know that you're not supposed to hit the starting quarterback? Okay? Apparently, he hit Kirk Cousins at least twice in a practice, and Kirk had enough of his bullshit, so they got in a fight, they got thrown out of practice. What's going on with the Raiders?

Is Max trying to get off of this team? What's going on over here? There's a lot of conspiracies right now. Well, let me say this. For Kirk Cousins to get worked up enough to go at somebody as strong. Max Crosby tells you that he had to be pretty pissed off about the whole situation. And I know a lot of people are thinking that Max Crosby wants to be traded.

He wants to be there right now. And I think he's going to be there. I think the real question with Max Crosby and his future in Vegas comes down to what happens if this team doesn't perform well? What if there's a contender out there before the trade deadline that wants to beep up its pass rush? Could we see a team later this season if the Raider season is. slipping away, make a run of Max Crosby. And I could see that being a possibility in October. That I see. But right now, no, Max wants to be there. And I just think he's worked up. He's

intense. He wound up hitting. Kirk, I didn't see the two plays. Kirk took offense to it. And here we go. They're both suspended for Saturday. As Kirk Couss has ever been suspended in his life for a practice, I would venture to say no. I'll bet that's never happened before. it was a first, and it looked like he went to the Backstreet Boys concert that night with his wife. So he got a real nice day out of it. He got to skip practice and then go to a concert that night. I don't know if I love all of that. Kurt gets fired up, though.

You know, do you like that, remember? I mean, he does get a little fiery. And we know Max Crosby, he's a menace, always going to be a menace, always going to be going 100 miles an hour. Heard Fernando said, guys, come on. I didn't know what they said. Yes, that's correct. But I think Kirk potentially showing Fernando like, hey, yeah, right.

We can't just sit here and take this, even though we would get our asses beat in an actual fight here. Can't just let this. But how the rest of the team let him run into a quarterback? I guess Max is a lot of do whatever Max wants to do. We have some good news coming out of Vegas Sports today at Vegas Sports TD. This is today as Kirk ran on to the field. Max Troszma gives him a high five and a shot that I had. Boom.

The boys have moved on. Okay. The boys have moved on. That's good. Hey, that's like old school. Yeah. Let's have a fight. And then after.

Chick Hans. And Kirk says you freaking burr. It might have been at work just to go to the Backstreet Boys' concert for both of them. Back Street's back? Their sphere show is awesome before I heard.

Yeah, dude. Wow. Yeah. Back Street's back. All right. They're doing a sphere? Yeah, they're doing sphere. I hope so.

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Holy shit. I have to be at T-Mobile. Hold on. That's unbelievable. My mind immediately dropped some in-sync songs there. They're like, bye, bye, bye,

that's insane. That's Justin. Yep. That's not. Carter. Yeah, Nick Carter. Those two are the leads, right? Yeah.

And then the boys. The rest of them. Brian. If I know anything about Kirk, Kirk loves the Backstreet. Yeah. Hard not to. Yes.

Yeah, especially with their they're probably hit all the shit. We don't think Max was there either? You guys just keeps in Kirk. Black boy? He probably went right to the studio. I don't think he's a Backstreet Boys guy. All right, let's do more football, shall we?

Speaking of football, Is football going to be played up in Foxborough? Go ahead, Tom. Yeah, Jeff, you kind of a weird story about the Patriots in New England's turf that they installed after the World Cup and then the NFL deemed it not worthy of an NFL football game. So they had to rip that up and put new turf down. What is this situation? Is this a bigger deal than it's kind of being talked about?

And will there actually be a game on Thursday because they are hosting the Colts? I'm sure they'll get it worked out by Thursday. Don't think it'll be an issue. They'll figure it out. the crafts will do what they have to do to get turf installed in the field. And I just think it accentuates the fact that every player would like to have the turf that the soccer players are. The soccer players played on during the World Cup.

Like, I don't know why they can't do that, but maybe the NFLPA will have something to say about that in the upcoming selective bargaining talks whenever those get started. There are agendas for each side. And hopefully it can result in some new, compliant brass for the NFL players across the league. Did I just hear you say use the World Cup grass? Is that what I heard? Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. Shepter, listen, you've got to learn more about your grass. Okay. Now, we only know this because we've been pressing NFL for grass in stadiums. And we talked to Dr. Stills, who's the NFL grader doctor. Yeah. CEMRass experts, not Stills. Now, I would like to say it's like a still image in time whenever he gave me an answer that blew my mind, which was they're running robots.

on all these turfs and grasses at different times of the year. And it turns out certain grasses are good maybe in September, but not in December. Actually, there's some turfs that are better than some grasses, allegedly. Now, this is NFL-run robots telling us about NFL. What we do know, though, it's all been kind of understood. Soccer grass ain't good for football grass. No.

It ain't good for the big boys here. Yeah. They got too much beef. That grass ain't built for that. The grass is built for the beautiful game. The grass is built. You really are a grass insider. You're an insider on grass, aren't you?

That's right. Well, I will smoke some grass, for sure. People know that. But I will also get interested in it. If every player seemingly wants the same thing. It's like if every player wants the same thing, I feel like us as former players who have a platform should at least say like, hey, why aren't we doing this whenever we get a chance to talk to the people that are inevitably

making the decisions. But boy, the NFL and the owners have a lot of excuses. Yeah. They got a lot of like, they got a lot of shit that they say like, oh, is that the grass you want? Oh, do you remember that grass that actually caused? a boop-a-ball. And then they did it. So we would like the perfect grass

to be out there as well. But from our understanding of understanding grass, the soccer grass, ass. It's not good for football. Yeah, it's not good. Like JJ Watt, I think,

went out there and tried it one time and his big ass both feet want. You know what I mean? Like the Super Bowl, the Eagles chiefs. It was just slipping and slide. Yeah, slip and slide. Exactly. You want that?

They took the sod father out of the picture there. True. They had a big mistake. That one half. That was a mistake. They cooked that thing. Uh-huh. And then they tried to rinse that thing.

And then they tried to bury the sodfather. Slop. Let's move along. Anyways, we know the grass, Chefty. That's what we're saying. You need to learn to do if you're going to be talking about grass over there with a golf. Okay, let's talk about some huge names now going down. And I'm talking huge bodies as well.

Go ahead, D. Yeah, worst part of the game, injuries coming out of training camp. Laramie Tunsel left tackle for the commanders, Luther Burden. He went down for Chicago Bears. And Kay May is the starting center for the Detroit Lions. Any updates with those guys? And will these injuries impact the start to their regular season? Oh, yeah.

Well, Larry Tunsell for starters, I'll be surprised if he plays again this year. It's a serious injury. And it's going to take a long period of time for him to come back for that. They would have to be in position to make it such that he could come back. And that's even if he could do that with the torn tricep. It's hard. I mean, they certainly can't count on him for the remainder of the season. That's a big blow.

They made him the highest paid offensive tackle in the off-season. and they just paid them. You're counting on that guy protecting Jane Dango's blindside, and he goes out in a one-on-one drill and tears his tricep. Luther Burden, the wide receiver from the Bears, has got a groin issue. It's going to be the rest of the preseason. The Bears aren't going to rush him back.

There's no reason to do that. They think he'll be ready for the regular season opener against the Carolina Panthers. So that's the good news, but you're not going to see him the rest of the summer, I don't believe, which is a blow. And he's looked great during, During camp, there's another injury right there. You mentioned Cade Mays.

Boy, the Lions, right? Like that center position, Frank Ragnow retires. He comes back. Then he's not going to play. Then they get Cade Maze. And they sign him to replace Frank Ragnow. Now he's out to the middle of the year with a bone break in his wrist. Come on.

And now they've got a bunch of guys there. It's like the commanders now are going to take a guard and moving back to tackle to play left tackle, Bruce Campbell. and the lions are going to take somebody that they weren't counting on being their starting center. Again, to make them their center right now, juice scrugs would be one of the options that they're going to put out there. It's, again, we're a couple weeks of the training camp. Yeah, it's not fun, and there are key players, key players going down for indefinite periods of time. That is the worst part of the summer and it's not close. So the NFC South itself has lost a bunch of players.

and by the way, if those are the only injuries of the pre-sum of the summer, the preseason, that would be enough as it is, but we know that's not going to be the case. There are going to be more guys that are lost as well. How about we decide no more injuries right now? That'd be great. I'll sign me up.

Okay, so you're in? All in favor, say aye. Aye. Okay. So that's how we'll do it from here on. I didn't hear him say. He's like, well, actually, I need some tweets. So...

Maybe he's a butterfly, that guy. He doesn't know how that's going to... Oh, he doesn't want to vote against... the universe. Yeah, just kind of let it happen how it's supposed to happen. Because the world man. These injuries, are they inevitable? Would they have happened inevitably anyways if this was not just training camp but the regular season? Like,

there's so many of those. How much misfortune comes into some of these injuries? I mean, I've seen some guys get injured on back-to-back ears. It's like the most unlucky thing of all time. It's the worst part of the game's injuries. And now, last question for me. Well, but before the last

question, we brought up the injuries. I didn't even mention the 49ers. And we know what's going on there. What's your last question, Pat? Well, what's going on there? What is going on there? Just everybody's, everybody. They had 20 guys not practicing one day, last 20 guys.

But why? Yeah, but why? It's crazy. What's going on over there? What's going on to camp over there? Well, I don't think it's the electrical substation like everybody else. That's bullshit. Are you a scientist?

No, he just went on to. Wake on. At least he addressed it. I appreciate you at least addressing it because it does feel like a lot of, big-brained people are scared to admit it, you know, potentially because this start on, this is internet fodder. But then when John Lynch comes out, the general manager goes, we're definitely going to look into it. Yeah, we're definitely going to look into it.

And they've looked into it. And then now, you know, we're all kind of watching what goes on. It's just maybe they just have the worst luck in history or maybe the thing that we all see the entire time, you know, is potential, I don't know. Hey, the substations got his own thoughts and its own Twitter account. Now, you didn't even mention in my world, Alec Pierce, okay, is he going to play? What's going on? Because every day, it seems like I'm getting a different report.

It sounds like he's not playing week one. What I thought he was playing week one? They continue to say that they believe he'll be back by the start of the season. But he still doesn't practice yet. Apparently he got another shot in that need to help it along. And again, he's not out there. But it's hard for me to imagine that they're going to invest over a hundred million dollars, give him the huge money that they did.

have him lead off your free agent show where you break the news of Alec Pierce signing, resigning with the Colts on a four-year $114 million deal. And then all of a sudden, he's not going to be ready for the start. I think he will be. Okay. And they're being smart and cautious. They're taking their time with him. He's just not there yet right now.

And Josh Downs hurt his groin, but that doesn't appear to be serious. He should be back to practice this week as well. Okay. Offseason ankle surgery for Alec Pierce. You said shot in knee. You meant shot in ankle? Sean ankle, yeah, his ankle, yeah. Okay, okay, okay, yeah, because we share our pants there whenever we hurt knee.

I was like, okay, yeah, just made I want to make sure that's accurate. Okay, we appreciate that positive update, and good luck doing your golf talk over there, brother. Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it. Great to be with you from Memphis, Tennessee. Hell yeah. You should go do some walking in Memphis. He should do some research on Elvis, too. What he did, President Nixon, I do believe.

Yeah, it's good. Yeah, it's good story. He wanted to be a federal agent bad. He did not care. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Adam Schaefter. Yay! Hey, when you walk in there, the president has peanut M&Ms there on the table.

You will sit in the couch closest to us. Do not touch peanut M&M's as a preferred president. Thank you very much. He's a hound dog. You don't give a shit. What a dog, dude. Yeah. The more I've learned about him, the more I'm like, that guy was a absolute beast.

He was never going to find happiness. I mean, no. He was just going to always go. He's on top of the world. On top of the world. Let's talk about being on top of the world this past weekend. There were five men that were able to celebrate the hell out of going into the Hall of Fame, being immortalized forever. One of them just so happens to be a very close friend of the program.

A man who I held footballs for the all-time leading score for the NFL, ladies of gentlemen, Adam Ventanian. Yay! Thanks for having me all, fellas. There's the comedian. Look who it is. Adam Vinatari. Hey, how you feeling, brother? Congratulations.

I hope you got a chance to take into flowers this weekend as the world and the football world said, you're one of the greatest of all time and will be remembered forever. It was a cool weekend for you. I hope you got a chance to take that in. It was incredible. Yeah. Every day just got more exciting and more memorable. And as you can see right there, standing on stage.

getting to see the bust for the first time and delivering a speech. Hopefully everybody was entertained fairly well. And yeah, incredible, really an incredible week. Everybody was having a good time with your speech, okay? Everybody had an absolute blast. There's fresh off a teleprompter is your forehead joke right off of Peyton, right through the, hey guy who held my ball, would like doing it more than my wife. He even got Allie involved, which I really respect.

Val involved, which I respect and appreciate so much. It was a blast, Vinny. when did you decide what you were going to do with your Hall of Fame speech? Well, I wanted to make it heartfelt, obviously. I wanted to thank the people that I needed to thank along the way, but I also wanted to make it memorable, right? You know, I wanted to have a speech that people weren't falling asleep in and all the Hall of Famers, the old guys on the right and left of me.

They all said, make it short and sweet. I don't want to fall asleep. So I figured if I was going to add a couple extra minutes, I'd better make a couple of jokes, have them on the edge of their chairs. and have a great time with it. And then I thought I brought it back at the end and let football know how much and what it's done for my life. And that was the part that was sentimental to me.

You know, I had a tough time getting through that all week long without, you know, really getting emotional. And when the crowd started laughing a little bit, I thought, okay, this is going to be all right. Dear football was a sweet way to end it. I didn't know how deep you were going to go as you were talking. I'm like, hell yeah. As I committed more to you, you committed more to me.

It was like, it was a beautiful thing. You talking about the sport that we all love, that we all have benefited from. We still benefiting from it today. And then also, massive benefit is Hall of Fame is treated like a reunion, you know. And if you're not on a championship team, that team very rarely is going to have a scheduled kind of meetup. Usually it's just like funerals when everybody kind of gets back together. So getting a chance to celebrate so many different eras of the Colts and then obviously the NFL as a whole. and then some Patriots players that stopped by as well was a blast.

I want you to know that it was a great party, brother. You put together a great group of people, and there was a lot of people flocking there. I know you were taking pictures like the bride and groomed the whole time, but no, you had a great party, bro. You had a great party out there. Well, I didn't get to sit back in the scar room with you guys and BS about the good old days too much.

You know, you try to spend a little time with everybody, and then the next thing you know, your party's almost over. But you're a safe family. They put on a heck of a party. an incredible party. It was fun to see everybody, the people, like I addressed everybody during the thing. And I said, if you're in this party, if you're in this room, you had a huge impact on my life. And I want to just tell you all, thank you so much for being there.

Having all you guys there was incredible. All my teammates standing there in that picture right there. And there's so many more. There's a lot of people that obviously couldn't make it. But, yeah, it was a heck of a great time. It's funny, I see those pictures. and, you know, I had black shirt on, right? And I'm sitting there thinking,

my kids gave me this unbelievable present that I just didn't have the balls to wear. But I want to put it on for you just right now. Just let you... You're so Italian. Your kids are so Italian. I love that he's got you iced out. I love seeing AJ and Gabe and Allie all gets bad.

spotlighted and vowed. The way you talked about your family was sick. I wish you would have wore that. Yeah. I wish you would have wore that. Could you imagine the reaction of every human that walked into your party and saw you iced out of your mind? I love it.

I have a tough time even wearing it right now, so I'm going to take it back off because I feel a bit uncomfortable. But you know what? I guess you got to rock and be proud of it. You know, it's a... I always thought I love number four, the best, but 387 is a pretty awesome number. Yeah, I think so.

I'll tell you, I think you should never take that off. Hey, if you take that off, you hate your kids. Right? Now they're going to see that. Now I'm going to wear it for the rest of my life, I guess. Hey, yeah, Gabe, AJ, Ali. Hey, if he takes that off, he hates you guys. You need to know that.

All he said during that speech was how much he loved you, you know, and all that. Let's see him prove it. I deserve that. No, I deserve that. I appreciate it. Yeah. And I think there's a coach that might be getting into Hall of Fame next year. Maybe.

We'll see. Yeah. He might have a microphone next year, too. Yeah. You know, it was fun to throw a little trash out there to the fellas, obviously. If you got mentioned, you're dear to me, you know. I think there's probably people like, I didn't get to mention Coach Dungey, Bill Polly, and a lot of people that were instrumental in my career as well.

And they probably sat back and said, damn, what this is going on, I don't want to be mentioned. They're like, please don't mention my name. No, all of us, all of us that you mentioned, I think, very much understood. You're out of it, Terry. That was definitely going to happen. And also, we all appreciate the hell out of the fact that we are teammates with the goat, you know, and it was cool to hear everybody talk about that. Go ahead, Debuts.

Absolutely. Congrats again, Vinny. I need to know your thoughts. What's your thoughts on your bus? Your initial thoughts when you saw it come out, obviously it's a long, long process. And there's always talk or fodder about either bus or statues and people were built when they were built for people. What was your thoughts on it?

And then what was it, what was the feeling like when you actually placed it into the Hall of Fame? We all remember the John Matt's speech when you talk about the bus. When you leave, they'll be in there talking to each other. So what was that moment like and what was your initial thoughts on your bus? Yeah, that was really cool. Getting to give me the opportunity, Scott Myers is the gentleman that did my bus. He's a guy from Texas.

I flew down there, spent a couple of days with him, had it about 85% done when I got there. And then he just put a bunch of the finishing touches on while I was sitting there with him. Yeah, I was excited for the anticipation of pulling that over and seeing it. You know, people were like, man, that's a young, Vinnie. And I said, we kind of tried to figure out an era where it wasn't the beginning of my career. wasn't the end. So clearly I have more hair and a lot less gray hair there, but I just wanted to, you know, when you see that and then, and then actually getting to take it and putting it into the,

you know, into the Hall of Fame and the bus room and seeing all of the other ones around you, you know, you just feel like, man, I'm surrounded by greatness right now. And I hope they do, I hope they actually do talk to each other. And I hope that speech made them laugh. So maybe don't pick on me like they pick on every other kicker in the world. Good idea coming in there setting the tone. Hey, listen, we're fighting back if we have to. Carly Ursette Gordon, Casey, Kalyn, Pete,

obviously the whole family, Tracy, Conti, even a part of it. I think they did a phenomenal job, honestly, with the entire setup. And I would like to let everybody know Carly brought it. Listen. She absolutely did. No, she was incredible all week long. You see the gold Gucci Adidas boots? I mean.

Love them. Yeah. Clean. Super clean. Yes, absolutely. And also so confident and comfortable in who the hell she is. Not an easy position at all. Not an easy position at all.

You're walking into an all boys club, right? You know, you think of the NFL owners. And I'm just so proud of her. She has her own swag. She has her own style. And in the way she, you know, after we lost Jim a year ago, the way she stepped in, she goes, you know, I'm going to go into the meetings.

I'm going to learn football at the grassroots. And I respect the heck of that because I don't know another single owner out there that goes into meetings, puts headphones on, listens and puts their input in. So not only is she taking her father's role, but she's owning it herself. And I couldn't be more proud of her

and her other two sisters that have been such a huge impact on the team now moving forward. Like I said, my speech, I'm really looking forward to see how the team takes off and responds with their leadership. It's really awesome. Kalyn, Casey, and Carly, a phenomenal football story that has literally been written

as we speak. They nailed the Hall of Fame party. Yes, they did. They absolutely did. They nailed the Hall Fame party, which I respect and appreciate. There was Jack there. There was a lot of different options, which I appreciate. Sometimes those events don't have Jack because they got other bourbon that's much better.

Sure. That's what they said. Okay, this shit's worth $8 billion. Okay, I get it. Your stuff's better. I appreciate that. Instead, it was a perfect party, perfect time. Your South Dakota people were legendary.

Obviously watching your dad become a puddle was sweet. I mean, it was just, it was a special weekend. And we appreciate the hell out of you, brother. Keep celebrating. Appreciate you. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, my dad, I think, every meme now out there,

but from the heart, man. Yeah, me too, man. A lot of balls, Joe. He's talking footballs. Let's talk of footballs. Ladies and gentlemen, that's number 387 of the Professional Hall of Fame.

Number four, Adam Ben and Terry. Yeah, Pete. Look, Jim Ben in that in that picture, yeah. It was a good setup. Perfect. You see Clayton and Matthias

up on there? Great spot. Oh, yeah. Great spot by them. It was cool to see everybody. I don't know how many. special teamers get in. So like special teamers obviously not like the top half of roster, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So like that, that was filled with guys who I think we're

very pumped to be there and we all had a great time. Yep. Good on the Eursay family too. Because that, like that is one thing where you really could cheap that out if you wanted to and for them to do that. Like that's awesome. Yeah, it was fun, man. Shout to the Hall of Fame. What a weekend. Hour two on the other side. Be a friend, tell other friends, something nice.

When detectives walked into that house, they said that it was like time just stood still.

It's 2010 and the McStay family is nowhere to be found. Inside the home, no clear answer where the family could have gone. Husband, wife and two children are gone, like poof, disappeared. The search for the McStays quickly captures the nation. But for years, the search for answers only brings more questions. Who's ever heard of an entire family going missing? A family of four doesn't just drop off the face of the earth with no contact. Is this a family on the run?

We're so incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about it every single day.

we got a chance to celebrate the world's greatest football players this past weekend in Canton, Ohio, as a new Hall of Fame class was enshrined and celebrated in a huge way as football is officially Bach, Bach, Bach, Bach, Bach. Adam Venetary, Drew Brees, Luke Keakley, Larry Fitzgerald, Roger Craig all go into the Hall of Fame, immortalized forever. Who will go in next year? Well, first balloters have been announced and understood. Could be any one of these? Fine gentlemen going in his first ballot. Rob Grancowski, the youngest of the top 100. top 100 players of the top hundred years of the NFL.

I do believe he was wearing a red jacket alongside some 80-year-olds in the NFL. Gronk is a first ballot through and through, which is why Gronk will always have the respect of everybody from football. He graduated Woody Ha, Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League, Western Pennsylvania, obviously

East Hills of Pittsburgh. People forget. Rob Gronkowski. I'm sure Buffalo and Western New York don't necessarily love that, but that's just reality. And you look at the rest of that group, a couple Steelers on that conversation. Ben Rothensberger. Is he going into the Hall of Fame as the first ballot?

Let's go to one half of the hammer. Die! Cowboys A. D. Tone, diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I know you're about to throw up some sign language, I would assume. Ben Rothersberger are going to be a first ballader? He should be. Now, after the whole Bill Belichick thing, you never know who's going to be first ballot and what these

people's motives are voting on the Hall of Fame. But I believe Ben should be. A, B, talent-wise, should be, but I would be very surprised if A.B. got in on the first ballot. But no, I do think Ben should be. I mean, he's 18 years of just excellence on the football field. Two Super Bowls led the team. I mean, I think seven should be, but we'll see. Okay, well, Ben Rothensberger get voted in as a first ballot.

I'm going to say, no. I'm going to say he should, but he won't. Yes. And I'm excited for him to just be pissed about it. I'm excited for him to shit-talk it somehow, because, this is kind of the Ben Rothersberger way. I do believe. Very rarely gets the credit on the field for everything that he was,

everything that he is, the amount of success that he's had, and that keeps him just the most relatable. I think he is maybe the most relatable first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback that there's ever been, potentially. You listen to football, and he's literally talking as if he's one of us. And he was like that when he was playing, and then he'd get on the field as this monster.

Incredibly athletic, wildly competitive, could do whatever, could take a hit, could extend a play, and just get the job done. Ben Rothersberger, is a hilarious individual to me, because I grew up in Pittsburgh, and obviously I've celebrated a lot of the wins that he has had alongside a lot of friends. But also just like the way he very rarely gets talked about ever, whenever it comes to great football players,

just plays into who Rothesberger kind of is almost. Still lives in Pittsburgh. Like, well, never, it's just, he's just classic dude who happens to be a phenomenal football player. Yeah, and also fifth in career passing yards, fifth in regular season wins, fourth quarter comebacks, tied for the most 500-yard passing games of all time. You guys saw a couple of those.

Two times. Shut up. Shut up. I mean, he's top 10 in basically every stat ever, so. It never gets talked about. No. Never, which means he will not get first ballot. And I'm not saying that's the right thing.

I mean, I'm just telling you this seems like this is the reality. And after Bill Belichick doesn't get voted in first ballot, it's like we really have to question who will get in. Antonio Brown. Let's go to a nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler. If we're talking strictly football on the football field, Antonio Brown, first ballot Hall of Famer? No doubt.

No question. Without a doubt, easily in the Hall of Fame. But what does the Hall of Fame represent to the voters? There you go. That's what the voters always say. So then you start going through the list, and it's like, how many first ballot next year are they going to be? Actually, like I do wonder how many they end up having.

Go ahead? Two. Only two? I think two. Gronkin, who else? Gronk and AP. NAP, yeah. Adrian Peterson, for sure.

But maybe not, though. It'd be tough. Imagine him not going in, but I also feel like... How could Adrian Peterson? He won the MVP as a running back, too. I think you win an MVP as a running back. I think you probably get in his first ballot, but there's a chance. Well, and I feel like...

Has he been a perfect human? Jesus Christ, that's what it seems like there is a little bit of a... How long are they going to make Eli wait? That's my other thing. Like, one of these guys. who maybe should go in next year potentially doesn't go in because I don't know if they want to just make Eli wait and wait and wait and wait. Right over your shoulder there's a man.

It's fucking bullshit, man. Just grabbed a microphone. I don't know if you could feel it behind you. As soon as you said, how long are they going to make Eli wait? This guy, let me grab this microphone, swings it over here. I'm done with it. Eli Manning was the leader of the New York football giants, won multiple Super Bowls, beat the Patriots, beat Tom Brady.

This is your greatest of all time on the biggest stage. Who, me, multiple times. What are we even talking about here? Also, ambassador of the game, his entire life and now. I can hear why the New York Giants fans think, why is this guy in? And then all of a sudden, somebody goes, what's his record? Yeah, how about that? And then all of a sudden, everybody goes, well, wait a minute to head that one coach.

You can't put him in over seven. Both of them. Exactly. There's an error. You're just putting that on Eli? He's a good guy. He's a good guy. Great family name.

They can and that will. Walter Payton Man of the year. Aren't we trying to win football games, though? Well, did he did? He won a lot of football games. He lost just as many as he won, though. That's what everybody says. There's so many things that you could just bring up at any time. Well, and Bill's going in next year, too.

I don't know. He's going in. Bronx's going in. Can he pop the faces up real quick? I'm going to pick the first ballot right now. Grank, yes. Grunk, easy, AP. Shirm.

Is Shirm? Shirm should have a long, long conversation. He had a long stretch where he was one of the most dominant corners in the league for one of the most dominant defenses, anyone in the Super Bowl. You know, people will argue led by that defense. I also think Whitworth, Big Whit, that's some conversations as well. He played for, what, 17 years Super Bowl champ. Maybe not the accolades that you'll want because I think, you know, he was in Sensi. But I think those are conversations, but for sure, Adrian Peterson, Grunk, and who's the third one?

Wait. Oh, no. Just those two for sure. Just those two? Just those two? You said A, B, if we're just voting not. Yeah. So I'll say this.

I think Cam Newton will be a Hall of Favor. Yeah. I think Cam Newton will be a Hall of Famer at some point. There will be like a celebration of who he is, what he was, how close, everything that he did. But I don't think first ballot, just with what first ballot is, that is the conversation. I don't think with him, especially they're just going to throw a Super Bowl at him. Alex Maxim thing like McCoy Grape. All these guys are incredible playing.

Let's not get this twisted, which is why I almost hate. the people that are on the Hall of Fame bubble because you immediately got to bring up all the negative as soon as you bring up the positive. And these guys are considered being a Hall of Fame. And all the guys that's been waiting, Tori Holt, Reguane, Robert Matthews, you know, obviously mentioned teammates,

but, you know, so many names that have been waiting, has to go in at some point. Joining us now, ladies or gentlemen, is a man who's a nominee for the college football Hall of Fame currently. We'd like to see his ass go in. He's a college football national champion,

Super Bowl champion, the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawker! Yeah. Way to go, Hawker! I think Ben deserves it be in. I think he will go in, first ballot. Okay.

Okay, I like that. That's Ohio guy, talking for another Ohio guy. You know, I'm sorry. Ben Rothersberger didn't import a commie queen bee for his feral beeh. How's that going, A.J. Hawk over in Ohio. Well, it's going well. They are taken to her well, so, yeah, hopefully she starts laying eggs very soon. Ladies and gentlemen

I don't want to focus too much on his commie queen bee That he brought into Columbus, Ohio Which they call the heart right of America Yeah, yeah He brought a commie queen bee Into the heartland of America

Now we checked her out, she's not a commie Red Dawn all over again This is what he did for his bee Born in America, born in America roots from Russia KGBB He waterboarded her before he put her in the KGBI This is good

We should not to have it too much further into this, but I don't love what you did there. Should have been an American queen. And you know who I know would have done that? Man, who's a locker farmer. This man's got 40,000 acres or something like that. And he's out there wrestling the steer. He's out there planting the seeds. He's out there

doing it all for his family and his country and for Buffalo Bill's mafia as he was the first one to wear those incredibly cool nickel city uniforms into the brand new stadium. Ladies and gentlemen, NFL MVP,

quarterback for the bills, Josh Allen. Yeah, Josh. I got one word. America. That's right. Hell yet. You heard about his commie queen bee

he brought in? That's a real thing, Josh. I was listening. I'm not mad. Disappointed. Yeah. Disgusted, too. You could be.

Because, you know, he had this feral swarm that he recruited to his hive. I don't know how much you know about the bees. He recruited him in there. And then he dropped a queen in there and he was trying to get a Sharpie on the

queen B. Turns out his swarm killed the queen. You into beekeeping? I have been over the last six months or so, Josh. Also, I believe your great-grandfather immigrated from Sweden to start the farm, the ranch that you grew up on. So, I mean, let's not act like any of us are, you know,

a ridge-date right here. That's pretty real. That's fair. You be keeping these these. Yes. Have you seen Odyssey? Okay, all right, all right, let's move.

Let's talk football. You're in the brand new stadium. Okay, obviously the bison are gigantic. The new stadium was debuted. You look great in the Nickel City uniforms, which are taking a lot of heat, obviously, but that's going to happen anytime something new. What were your thoughts on a new stadium?

And new era here. Brady is the head coach. Just kind of your mindset is a new vet in the league, but certainly new era for Buffalo as well. Yeah, a lot of news, like you're saying. We got, as you can see this clip, new, oh, that's to Khalil, throwing a new receiver, DJ Moore, new head coach, and Joe Brady, new stadium, new uniforms, got a new baby, so there's a lot of news in my life. And, you know, we're just,

we're just rolling with the punches. We're waking up. We're accepting what's going on. And we're just having a good old time up here in Buffalo, having fun. Love that. Getting everything from Wegmans, obviously. It's the only place to shop and to stop if you need a good time in the Western New York area. You just talked about new babies. I saw you cry. I think it was a couple weeks ago talking about fatherhood and everything like that. I have perspective change or quickly, huh? And how do you think you've carried that into work? No doubt, no doubt. Especially having a girl first. I think you become a little softer as a man. You know, the heart grows a little bigger. I miss my family right now. We've been in camp now for 11 days and hopefully we get to,

I'll see him soon. But yeah, it's definitely a perspective changer. Things in the world seem to matter less. You just kind of bring everything back in internally, and it's the coolest freaking thing, though. Isn't it crazy how much they grow, too, from one photo to the next? You know, you're getting sent photos, I assume, in videos while you're there. You're checking in on them. And all of a sudden, it looks like a new human, whatever you miss, like two, three days. Excited for you to enjoy it all. And I think everybody's probably told you this, and AJ's told you this as well.

It only gets better. Like, my daughter is three years in like two months now. We got opinions. We got ideas. We got guilt trips. We got it is. It's phenomenal. and then little baby boy is like two, three months.

He's starting to make noises. What a journey, man. It is crazy how it changes you, though. I'm going to be on it. And it happens quick. Does it help you football-wise? Is this going to be, do you think it's going to help you as a football player and why? What a question.

Let's figure out if you can give a good answer to that. Yeah, let's go with it. I think it helps in terms of just like hearing people out, you know? You got to listen to a lot of opinions, like you said. in the locker room, in the film room, you got to take it with stride. And, you know, I strive to be the best father, the best husband, the best teammate that I can be. And it's no different from, you know, anything else that I'm trying to. I'm just trying to be great at whatever I do.

So I think that's the switch in the mind. I love it. Greatness, obviously, is something that, you know, some folks have got to celebrate it this past weekend at the Hall Fame. It was insane looking at all the greats. And then how all they talk is about how. the prototype is you, brother. And it's been like that for a long, long time. So whenever there is a change at head coach for your team,

there is a little bit of a reaction immediately. And before a game is even played, I think some people have already made up their mind, whether or not Joe Brady was a good hire or not a good hire. What have you learned about Joe Brady now that he's the head coach, as opposed to just the offensive coordinator? And how has the team responded to offensive head coach versus defensive head coach?

Yeah, I think the best thing that Joe has done, he's been himself. He hasn't changed his mindset, his personality, you know, team meetings feel like exactly how they've felt in the offensive room the last three years. He's authentic. He's got the respect of everybody in this building. And at the end of the day, people are going to have their opinions, but his mantra for us this year is put the ball down. Like, we're going to figure it out, you know, when we come game time. And that's our mindset.

Just it doesn't matter if it's rain, snow, sleet, put the ball down, let's play some football. similar voice in that building, especially with how much success you guys have had. It felt like a good play. But if you guys don't win a Super Bowl, it's this guy's fault. They're going to say it. I mean, that is the pressure of being a Buffalo Beo, especially with you as the quarterback. So much fun to watch. I've loved getting to know Joe Brady.

Always has a great fade, Josh. Always has a great fade. Always, yeah. He stays in that barber chair. Does he cut himself, I wonder? No, he does not. No, he, listen, Joe, he watches so much film that, that, That's honestly like a nap for him.

He sits down in that chair. He falls asleep and he wakes up a new man with a new cut. Okay, good for Joe. A little therapeutic. Let me go freshen this thing up. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, Josh. So last year I had you guys were my pick to make it to the Super Bowl from the

AFC. Honestly, a big reason was because I saw some behind the scenes footage of your offensive line and how much they got along and just how much like I love watching them go back and forth. And I've seen recently you made comments about how close this team is, how it feels a little bit different than it has in the past, I guess. what is it exactly, offense, defense, like how are you guys jelling during camp? Yeah, I think you guys have been in a locker room before. You understand when you sit upstairs in the cafeteria, certain guys sit in certain groups,

and it kind of stays like that. But I think this team, it's so mixed, it's so diverse. You walk upstairs, and it doesn't matter if there's an open seat next to the O line, the D line, the linebacker, whatever it is, you're sitting down, you're able to have fun conversations and just hang out. And at the end of the day, like, we just want to have fun. We want to play this game. We want to have fun.

We want to do it well. And I think that when, obviously, when you play well, it's more fun. But we want to have that same energy each and every day. We don't want to change who we are. And I think from top to bottom, just how everybody is meshing and jelling, I think it's pretty special. Man, I like that. Left side. Strong side.

Hept side. Strong side. That sounds like we got some good chemistry brewing up there for the Buffalo Beals. There is chemistry always around this one particular player we have found. Go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Josh, we were talking about him last week, and it's C.J. G.J., one of your new defensive additions, who we know he likes to chirp as well. How's that?

I know he was out for a couple of practices. He's back now. That's awesome news. How's it been with you and C.J.G.J. across the ball from each other. It's been awesome. We've been able to have some colorful conversations on the field, if you will. But we're going out there and what I love about him.

He's always in competitive mode. It doesn't matter what he's doing. He wants to win. He wants to let you know that he's winning too. And you need that on a team. You need a tone setter. And I think that's what he is for us. And he's going to go out there.

He's going to make plays for us. And we're going to celebrate him when he does it. Yeah. And he's going to start some rumbles, too. He's unbelievable. Anytime something around him happens on the internet, everybody pulls immediately up bears, right? Saints guy just walks over to him,

and then he gets punched in the head, looks at him, yes, and then the guy punches him again. That's a great guy to have on your team. I do wonder, okay, with your team, with CJGJ on there, do you feel, because you were voted what, the most under, or the largest trash talker? Biggest trash talker. I was the sportsmanship award recipient.

That's what I was. Yeah, you won both of them. That's the duality of man. Oxymoron. That's pretty impressive, I would say. Can you say... Did you just call me a moron? Said it's an oxymoron.

I'm kidding. You kind of are, though, a walking oxymoron. Yeah, a little bit. You're not supposed to be the sportsmanship award winner while also being the biggest shit talker at the same time. You've somehow crafted that. At this stage, you have to be a different person. Obviously, now you're a dad than you were when you were younger,

but it's been a little bit like con man. Yeah, Josh, ninth year already. of looking around at all the quarterbacks in the NFL and you going into your ninth year is just crazy to think about. Does it feel different now? Do you feel as though you've changed anything? Here's the list of the QBs we're just kind of, you know, reminiscing on like, wow, all these guys, this is their league now. This is your league. Does it feel that way? Has anything changed, you know, this offseason? And also, I read you are a chess guy. Looking to the Scottish Gambit, it might change your game a little bit. But back to the football.

How does it feel? Gabbitt, check. I mean, it's surreal to feel like I've been here for nine years. And I was talking to Rob Boris, our tight-in coach, who's been here as long as I have. And, you know, it almost feels like Groundhog Day. Like, it doesn't feel like it's been that long. It feels like we're just kind of doing the same thing. But it honestly feels like year three.

It feels like year four. It doesn't feel like year nine. And just going out there and competing, having as much fun as I am. I think that's why it maybe feels like it's year three because I do have so much fun doing this. I take this with such great honor that I get to come and be the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills

and I get to live out my dream and be an NFL quarterback. So I'm just going to enjoy it well as long as it lasts and hopefully it's a lot longer. That graphic was crazy. The graphic was crazy because you guys, I mean, you guys,

we feel old now. You know, I feel like an old man now. Nine years for you is absurd. It feels like literally just yesterday you were Minnesota Vikings jumping over that guy. And he was staying straight up. Feels like literally just yesterday.

Now you're MVP, multiple MVP's, multiple Super Bowls across the board here with the young lads. Obviously, Stafford, Rogers, they're old. Yeah, the old guard. They're very old. They're very old, we know, and there's others that are up there. But this generation, you know,

it's kind of the middle of your, the primes of a lot of your careers. For you, you said Groundhogs Day. Not anymore up there in Buffalo. A lot of things different, man. Go ahead, D. Bud. Brand new stadium. Obviously, you went in there.

Are you practicing there in your new jerseys? What's your initial thoughts on that stadium? I know as a player of certain stadiums that had different sight lines, different eyes, different things. And on game day, on the sideline, are you a jumbotron guy, or do you stand up and watch your defense? Or do you just stay there and making adjustments the whole time? I'm a little bit of both. I do like looking up at the jumbotron.

Typically, if they're in, like, the end zone areas, when you're sitting there, your neck starts getting a little cranked. So you've got to watch the field a little bit, too. but making adjustments. Listen, I think the stadium is unbelievable. And I got to walk around it yesterday and check out some of the monuments in there. I don't know if you guys have seen the broken table.

There's a lot of character. A lot of the art in the stadium is all local art. So paying homage to the local artists here in Buffalo. And I think that's something that they did so well was they wanted it to be built for Buffalo by people from Buffalo. And I think they did such a great job with it. Well, September 17th, is the home opener against the Lions.

And Josh, I don't know if you know this, we have been invited to do our show up there from the bison. Mm-hmm. And... Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how that's all going to work still because I don't think that's an ESPN game,

but I've been told I can go from the bison. So from our understanding... Inside or like Trojan horse? No, I'm thinking right there in front of these things, you know, so we get the family above us. We'll have Scott on the jib kind of working. Sure. And then smoke coming down.

Smoke coming down out of the bison's mouth. and mine. You know, same time. We'll both be smoking all at the same time. We'll do that. Thursday, September 17th, hosting the Lions, Thursday night, home opener of the new Highmark Stadium. Are you guys going to be wearing those nickel city joints? What's the time? I hope not.

Whoa. Whoa. I don't think we are, but you guys not like them. Are you guys the Buffalo Bills or the Calgary Stampeters? That's Peter's Jersey. It's like a way better than a Bois. You get a Buffalo wing jersey? I get it. Change is hard.

Change is hard. Change is hard. You're an instigator of change up there in Buffalo. And obviously there's always going to be some ripples whenever you break the tide a little bit. Those nickel city joints might lead them right to the Super Bowl. Good.

And that new stadium is going to be the home of so many celebrations and tables being broken. It's going to be a blast. And on September 17th, we'll be lucky to be there. Live for the home opener. And we can't wait to see you and catch up with the entire crew. D's still up there, yes? He is.

Oh, okay. Golly. Close, so. I thought I had you. I thought I had you hypnotized. I was talking a lot very quickly. I thought I was going to slip. I'm on top of.

I'm three steps ahead. Oh, you are on top of D. He's a chess player. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Hey, close, Sicilian. Checkmate, brother. All right, have a good one out there.

Tell everybody we said hello. Sounds good. Have a good one. Thank you. Thanks, that's Josh. Hey, Josh. So there's no way that's going to work because it's not an ESPN game, but we're going to try to get up.

It's actually the first prime game is what I'm realizing, because week one, they don't get one. Well, actually, I know who invited you, so I know it's going to work because they make all the calls. Yeah, there was some, there was a pretty high up invitation and obviously feel honored and pumped about it. Can't wait to be a part of the spectacle, but logistically, I don't know how any of that's going to actually work. We'll certainly act like it's going to happen at this exact moment. It will be pumped up about it, only. It will be pumped up by. Maybe we share a set.

Yeah, yeah, that's never. Okay. Yeah, maybe. Because it's on the same time. Particle. Maybe. I'm sure that'll work. I'm sure everything's going to work at.

You know why? It's football season. Amen. You know, it's not just football that's happening, though. Sports are happening in a big way. Have you guys been paying attention to everything happening around the globe, AJ, around the sports world? I have.

I think you might have a few little clips for us, maybe, too. Maybe I do have a couple of clips. Maybe we all have a couple of clips. Oh, look at that. And you know what? It's time for things happening around the sports world. Now, the world does entail the entire globe and planet Earth. And whenever humanoids are up there on the moon doing sporty things,

we'll also highlight that, but we're not there yet to go intergalactic. We are just scanning the entire globe to find awesome things or memorable things that happen in the sporting world. Let's get a Brazilian Syria, A, Cotiba, centerback, Hasi, Marrano. Marrano scores a goal and says, I'm out of here. Bang, gone. See you later. Anybody can jump anywhere, but there, sir.

Gone. Hesse Mahreña disappears into a different portal. This front version really gives you a good. He's gone. Now, he twisted a foot. He ended up being fine. He did get back out of the portal and back onto the pitch. He would end the half.

They would sub him out two minutes into the second half. He would finish the celly, but this is happening. Brazilian Siri A here. Did I see the goal got called back to? Did I see it? No. Yeah, I do believe that this inevitably is just one twisted foot, but a celebration into a different Portolander.

Okay, let's stay in soccer, shall we? Let's go to Leagues Cup. This is obviously when League of Mexico, it takes on the MLS, and this is an absolute cracker by Interimmi's. Rodrigo de Paul. He's Argentinian. He takes off his jersey and showcases a methie jersey. Oh, nice. Shout out Luke.

Messy's father passed away from an illness, and Leo did miss this game, so his lad of all lads there, his pal Rodrigo di Paul says, you know what, I'll hit a cracker for you, pal, and then put the Messey jersey on, letting the whole family know that we're thinking of them. I like what we're doing there. So do I, but I'm done with the MLS. What? This is a nice nod. This is a great movie.

No, I know, and I love it. I love it. I think he also, he had jeans on right before this to pay O'DMessie as well, because he wore jeans to his down. funeral, but outside of that, I'm done with the MLS. I tried. What about Leo? Let me make a caveat there.

Anytime Messi is not playing. I'm certainly not going to watch those games. Bobby Buwanga. There's the one other guy, but I just can't do it. I tried my best. I officially no longer have World Cup fever. I tried my best. They sign punch. Yeah.

And we've got the Premier League start next week. We're back, baby. Exactly. Saturday morning right before game day. Earl Hollon comes on the big screen. You're not going to turn it on for just 10 minutes to see if you get a goal? You said you're going to do the same thing, and I know for a fact

that neither one of us is going to be watching that comes Saturday morning. Are you talking about me? Don't do that to me. I know all this. That's why we're doing this right here. He's going to have it on his phone on the game day desk. Boom.

I was a lot. Herbie. Remember how big of a fan, Herbie? I'm sure Herbie's still all in. I'm sure he's still falling along. Let's go to American football. Hell yeah. Let's go to the Super Dupor Arena Cup.

Ladies' Jam, this is to win the game. Is the American? Fourth and one. Nashville, 59, Albany Firebirds, 53. No touchdown. Nashville wins the championship. Holy hell. They are your 2026 Arena Super Bowl, Bull, Bull,

champion. Now, I do think he potentially got in, right? Yeah. But nobody ever turned it. He goes to throw it away. He throws it over top of his head. Holy hell, Nashville wins again. Genius move by the course.

corner, standing in front of the refs so we can't see. Yeah, moved his helmet right in front of his eyes. And obviously, these arena refs are the best of the best folks. So whenever you talk about whether or not they're going to get a call right in a spot like that to win a championship, seems like they're swallowing their whistle and saying, the boys better get it clearly into the paint. They did not. The Albany Firebirds go home and heartbreak and the Nashville Super Doper's win the arena league?

Do we know, was this a home game? Was this a neutral site? It was a home game for the Nashville. Okay. Actually, go back. We hear the pop, actually. Listen to the barn go crazy here. AJ.

Fourth and one for all the marbles. He takes off. He's shorting. He throws and it's off the hands of the Wade Brown. The cats win the championship. The cats win the arena ground championship. With a huge star. Do you believe in miracles?

No kidding. I mean, you put Nance on the call, baby. Al Michaels on the call. What a phenomenal job there by the home commentary squad of the Nashville cats who take home the title with a goal line. I didn't know Bone was number 69 on Nashville's team. Or sorry, on Albany's team. They got to get that call right.

Yeah, I mean, I think he's get in. He has to be a lot. I don't know if he did. He's two yards out, guys. He's two yards out. There's no way. No, look at where the stick is. The stick is literally on the ball line up.

Wake up, Riff. Yeah, I mean, these refs don't want to make the go. Look, I try to peek his head over there, one left instead of right. You got to sell it like you got in then instead of saying, oh, shit. And throw it. I mean, he lost him the game. Okay. What's a packed house, though.

Packed ball. You're right. The Nashville Cats probably have the most money invested in their team, I think, because it seems like they probably sell the most tickets. Yeah. That's good news for Titans fans if they ever get good, because the Nashville Cats are winning super duper titles down there on goal-line stands. That's tough football. Let's go to tough baseball, shall we? Savannah

Bananas. Have you heard of my friend Rack? Yeah, he plays left field, and he does shit like this. Okay. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I saw this live. I watch this live with my kids. This is unbelievable. On ESPN, you're watching it as the Savannah bananas took on the...

Locos, something locoos. Locos Beach Coconut. Noco Beach coconuts, okay? Rack hits this thing with behind the back, back flip, nasty out, trick play point. I mean, rack is racking them up, too, AJ. This guy is a phenom. Now, we wondered why in the hell this guy is not in the pros? Because he can do that.

And then a couple weeks ago, if you do recall, shirtless guy hits a nuke to the left. Rack says, give me that with a backflip. Spider-Man. Wow. You think to yourself, wow, this guy knows baseball and he's so confident to do a baseball. Let's get him on a Pittsburgh Pirates. We looked up his stats. Guy can't hit curbball.

But he's unbelievable in the field and he sells out stadiums. We appreciate Rack and we appreciate Banana Ball. Do we not, Ty? I did for a while. I'm back to being completely out on Banana Ball. What about Rack?

Now, this shit sucks. He, that is insanely impressive. I do enjoy, anytime I see him doing something like that, I love it. I really do. Everything else, you can fucking leave it. I don't want it, don't need it. And you know what? It just, it's, oh, wait.

You think I'm, you know, wait until next year when they go on strike. And there's no MLB season. And ESPN is still shoving this bullshit down our throat saying, hey, don't worry. I know the MLB is not around. Hold on, no. Jesse Cole might have Aaron Judge. taking on Bryce Harper? Judge would fucking never.

Okay? You know what else? What if they were called the judges? They go sell out MetLife Stadium. Absolutely not. This is a potential income maker. In the other clip here, we got the bananas playing at Yankee Stadium.

And Rack, I mean, listen, I love it. I don't need you taking fucking massive divots out of the outfield right there, doing that kind of stuff, okay? This is Mickey Mouse bullshit. We're going to lose an MLB season. in next year. And we got these guys

just completely terrorizing Yankee Stadium. Then the Yankees are going back and playing there. I got, you know, I got guys tripping in the outfield, falling down. I'm done with it. I like certain stuff, but... It's good for the game. I did not expect it.

Me neither. It's good for the game. Because we're not going to have the game next year, but we're going to have this stupid fucking banana ball. And I, for one, will not do it. I won't. can't do it can't win with it won't do it

but if rack wants to keep making those kind of catches I'm all for that because I do not see in that okay I did not expect that either and once again oh wait never mind he fucking pictures got a cowboy hat on that's sweet

look at the catcher's gear what about the cheetah print with a dancing oak that's neat yeah those guys can kick rocks as well oh my god I've tried I really have

and I understand I'm not the demo I'm not the demo, but I'm done. They're representing baseball to so many people. They're selling out baseball or football stadiums. That's fine. It ain't a fucking game of baseball. This is grab-ass Mickey Mouse bullshit with some live BP sprinkled in. Okay, so that's good. And people get introduced.

I'm not the demo. Okay, they're going to get you back. We're going to get you down to that game. We're going to get you out to a game. Okay. They're playing in my backyard. I'll consider going out there. Judgies, I said, I like that.

They're in Judges, taking on the Harperies. They're all wearing judge cloaks, yeah. Boom, yes. With the wig. Hammers, they're actually swinging hair. Like Kalashawa. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, they kind of pull me back in a little bit.

And then the Harper's, instead of baseball hats, they all have the hair. So they put the hair on their heads. That's the harbors. They all have that as their thing. And it's a home run derby. I mean, we're selling a MetLife Stadium. I mean, she, you come to Luke's hole. Live.

I'd go out and watch the judges take on the Harperies. Do it at Speedway. Oh, yeah. Indy-Fundity,000 people. Yep. Down there at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This is just ideas for the boys as the looming lockout. Yep. I think that's why I'm so upset, really.

Yeah, you're mad at baseball as a whole. Savannah. It's Savannah baseball just trying to have fun with you all. Easy target. They are an easy target. They make it. What about 52-year-old each-year-old taking some BP, though, in a alumni thing and going,

as a 52-year-old. You don't like that? No, I absolutely love that because he's at a big league ballpark playing in a big league situation. This guy played in the big leagues for a long time. You know what you're not going to see is after Eitro hits nine homers or whatever he did in this old-timer stay-home run derby? You're not going to see him take his fucking dingy out and start dancing up and down

the third baseline like they do with the banana games. He's going to fucking take his hat off. He's going to bow to the crowd and he's going to go back in the dugout because he's a ball player. He's not fucking out there playing grab ass They don't take He is launching a home run, though Dave, Cerva's a good time It's a great time

I bet you each row will do it I bet you'll be out there He would never He would never That is just such Such a disrespectful move to the game of baseball What EG loves more than And tell you

I just got a text from a highly respected College football analyst He's with you I think I have no I don't want to give away We love Savannah and out of baseball. We love Savannah, but I love.

I respect what they do. No, you don't. I do. I respect it. That doesn't mean I have to like it. You're right, but I'll watch it. AJ was watching the other night when Rack made another magical catch. Let's pivot to this weekend, ladies of gentlemen, FedEx Cup Star.

Yeah, it is. This is the playoffs of golf. Top 70 battle in this weekend. Top 50 next weekend. And in two weekends from now, guess what we have? What's that? Top 30 for the tour champion. Oh, I can't wait.

Ladies and gentlemen, join us now is the reigning, defending, unsteered champion of all of it. An absolute stallion, super handsome. Tommy Fleawood. Yay! Tommy, we did not expect... I liked the last bit. Yeah, we did not expect a full Savannah banana burial there out of tie.

We thought we were promoting it. I was enjoying it. Jeez, Tommy. You can't have that type of negative stuff coming through your head before a big-time tournament like this. How are you doing, Tommy? How is the vibes and mind? sets as we head into the biggest weekends of golf here.

Yeah, I'm great, thank you. I won't be doing any backflips on the course or anything like that while while hitting any shots. So, you know, no, I feel good. Something to think about, though, you really, you really nuke one there. That'd be cool. We need big driver twirl, big one of those, you know, let that spin down like sword.

Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I feel like there's a place for it. The FedEx Cup. Yeah. Is that what we're saying? Well, we'll see, won't we? I wouldn't hold your breath watching me for it to happen.

Who would? Maybe someone else. Well, I was thinking you, yeah, that's what we're talking about is you. No, I don't have a backflip in me. No, just good, we just need a good, I need a good, I need a good. Yeah, yeah, I can do that bit. Okay, I like that. Here we go.

How do you players view this? This is gigantic, obviously, top 70. I remember there was a lot of conversation about love. What's a starting score? Then they changed that role is to try to make this more important it feels like. Is that an accurate to picture? of what they've tried to do with these? And how do you guys as players feel about these weekends

that you're about to take on? Yeah, I think so. I think when the playoffs start, I think it's a really, really cool time of year for us. And basically, I mean, there's three tournaments. There is 12 rounds of golf left for the season.

So if you look at it as the playoffs is literally 12 rounds and you take it like that. And then you get to the Tour Championship and it's like a winner-takes-all final event. So it's a really, a really cool time of here for us. AJ has a question for you, Tommy. Yeah, Tommy, I'm sure, I would assume you're aware of how you're apparel and what you've

been wearing at these tournaments has been a big buzz on the internet. I see you wearing the Sunday red today. I know Tiger was tweeting that you, appreciate the Sunday red you had in the past. What is, what's your situation like and when you get to a tournament? Are you just getting stuff from their pro shop? You're wearing Sunday red? What's the plan moving forward? Yeah, I've got to the point I'm very unorganized.

and unplanned with what I'm about to wear this week. So sometimes it's pro shop, sometimes it's you know, Sunday Red have been great with me Peter Miller. There's been some great stuff actually. There's a lot of amazing golf apparel out there and this year I've had the chance to sample

quite a lot of it and it's been enjoyable that people have got on that, I've got on that wagon. So hot conditions these next three weeks so the clothing's got to be right. One of the size is medium? We weren't a medium at this stage of life? Maybe double-exam. you were a Taylor. Double X-L? Yeah, I am a, I'm a double X-L.

Walk into the clubhouse. I need double X-L on your best stuff. I'm going to go win a tournament, please. What's the record here? I'd like to know that as well. How do you feel about the game? How are you playing? How's this course match your game? And obviously you've had success, but how are you feeling right now at this exact moment as golf is such a shot-to-shot sport? She's in a video of me hitting it in a bunker air. I, you know, I'm really nice. Like, there's always that kind of, there's always that little break. There you go. There's always that little break after the open where, you know, for us, like, I didn't need to play over the last three weeks. So it's like a summer holiday for me and my family take some time away. But I've been

playing really consistently this year. I love this golf course. I think it's one of the best golf courses of the year. So, yeah, like, looking forward to it. It's nice being back at work properly and knowing that you've got like this push now to the end of the PJ tour season. Yeah, like, at a proper tournament with the proper players. Sure, sure. At the proper time. You know, it does feel like you're at a proper, proper time for golf, you know? Cheers.

And we're, yeah, super cheers, actually, now that we're talking about that. We're excited about it because you guys are going to lead us right to NFL season. And we are thankful for that. DeBott has a question for you, Tommy. Yeah, Tommy, I know you've been playing for a long, long time, but I got to ask you, are there still any nerves when you're going into that opening T-shot, especially with the high-pressure situation like this? Any nerves going into the opening T-shot?

And selfishly, I always have to ask you. ask you guys a question when we have you in the show. One swing thought that I can take it to my game because I've kind of plateaued about mid-80s and I can't get over that hump. So I need one swing thought to help me, Tommy, please. Okay. I need to see a swing. But actually, what I'm working on at the moment for no matter how long you play, you still get these little things wrong. But I'm working on my takeaway at the moment, the first two feet that I take it away from the ball. I was getting that inside and that was affecting the rest of my swings. So without seeing I will tell you to make sure that's a quick little for you

Hold on we got we got a club we got we got a club here Oh here we go here we got see this is more like it You're not gonna be able to swing there you should probably Move it to the center of the yeah just make you can get a good help That looks good I don't know you've taken far too many steps into the ball now there's not helping it We don't have enough time on the show there's no help in jeez I was a crude deba oh wow oh wow is a clean one I was pretty is in the hall

you look great thank you there's no There's no way you're only shooting in the mid-80s. I'm not having that. I'm not playing you for money. I'm telling you. Maybe it's a plastic. Yeah, it's getting off the tea. Getting off the tea.

If I'm off the tea, I'm good. Okay, I have a question for you. You said the take back is a change. Don't you got to just put your forehead up against a brick wall? Kind of let your hands hang and put the weight on your back foot and then kind of just move it this way, find the pocket, find a slot. And then you go ahead and transferring away from back right to front left and then you're kind of swinging through.

Isn't that basically all it is right there? There's no brick wall on the first tee, so I can't put my head on Damn it. It's true. Man, why don't they do that to them, you think? Just give you guys. Have your caddy let you lean. Is it your head up against his hand? Yeah, yeah. He made a great old guy. Is your catty allowed to touch you while you're swinging?

Because I saw some, you didn't ask Josh Allen about his. Oh, yeah. He could turn your hips, I think I've seen. Oh, yeah. I've seen. Yeah, yeah, see? We could have that guy in. Okay, Tommy, these are all things you should try this weekend. These are things we like to see. I'm going to try right now.

See? We don't know. Maybe win another one of these things. all right out. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Maybe Adam Schaefter will give you some more tips on how to do this with your conversation with Cam Boozer. Let's pivot away from golf and let's talk about championships. Go ahead, Conman. Yeah, Tommy, normally the golf is what gets us through the summer, but this summer we had the World Cup, which was fantastic.

I know you're in English. I'm just going to ask you the question, is Tommy Tuchel ever going to get the freaking job done? No. It feels like England's never going to win the World Cup. Is it coming home? You believe that? Is it ever coming home? He's never coming home.

He's never coming home. All right, take it easy. Where did you guys get to? Last 16. Okay. We're asking about your country. We're talking about your country. Easy, Tomi.

I actually, I was actually really enjoying being in the United States while the United States are having to running the World Cup and the positive. I would have liked you to have gone further. I really was. I genuinely, I mean it. Thank you. You told me. Yeah, it was disappointing, right? We, we played a lot of good football.

And yeah, maybe it's easy looking back and thinking like you, you know, what could we have done different against Argentina and stuff? And I don't know, man. Feel for the guys. Like, it means more to the players on the pitch than it does to us. So I feel for them first. But I would have liked to shot at the final. That's just sure.

Yeah, it would have been nice if it would have came home. Who's your club, Tommy? What do you root for? I'm an Everton fan. Oh, wow. Sure. Where's that? We don't win much either.

What are, what is the Everton's? The Tim Howard jolt? I believe so. Tim Howard, yeah. Oh, okay, you guys are the Everton, Tim Howard? I like that, too. Yeah, the Everton Howard. I like the Everton Howard.

That's my squad, actually. No, they stink. No chance against Liverpool. Oh, okay. Well, they got Jeff Bezos. That's not fair anymore. Yeah, they just got the richest guy on Earth to jump into their ownership. Good luck to all parties over there from my understanding.

What's about that? Yeah. We're not going to go to. Oh, it sounded like you wanted to, though. It's a bird of side. Darby right there. That's real heat. You're a dad.

What's happening there for a little bit. Now, they're antagonizing me. They're antagonizing me talking about Liverpool. I'm not going to let it happen. It can't affect me. Look at you. You're an adult. Look at you.

The restraint, the discipline. This is what professional golfers look like. I mean, at least they beat the piss out of Burnley and J.J. Watts boys every year, at least. Maybe give the boy a little bit of help there. JJ's team's only gone this way now here since we've been there. But in Spain, huh? Sure.

Yeah. All right. They got that drinking rum at night. That's manual. There it is. We know these teams. Pittsburgh Riverhounds smack everybody. Nobody wants to play against him.

Let's get back to golf, please. As only Fleetwood realizes, it's never coming home. Please go ahead, Tone. Yeah, Tomie. Obviously, we know the change this year is that in the final that we're not starting with minus 10 and the guy who's ranked first versus minus 2 if you're ranked 10th or whatever.

And it's just flat out to start the final. There's been talk, I believe, from Mr. Rolap, the future commissioner, that it could be a head-to-head tournament potentially for the final. What are your thoughts on that? and what are your thoughts on where it's come to this year where everyone's starting even par to start the tournament

or start the final? Yeah, I think everybody's starting on a, you know, playing one tournament and everybody's starting an 11 playing field is, I mean, it's a nice feeling. I mean, challenge anybody to give Scottie Sheffler a 10-shot head start and then see if they can catch him. So it's nice that you're starting on that level playing field and it being one tournament.

It'll be interesting to see where it goes. I think, you know, Brian's like, definitely, very forward thinking and I think the game and the tour are evolving all the time and he's being very proactive with that. So we'll see. I think it's changed a lot. Like the FedEx Cup and the player finals and the formats have changed a lot over the years and I'm sure it's going to change again and we and we'll see. But yeah, it's hard to start to know like where it's going head-to-head might be cool like people might love that on TV. So yeah, we'll see if we get the chance to do that like in the near future.

We'd love head to head. We'd love to watch a little head-to-head action. Because any time we see the, you know, the rider cup or any of these other cups that take place and head-to-head is like meaningful golf, it feels like we get to see the real competitive spirit out of you guys, you know? Yeah, okay. Because you guys are always head off. Great work.

You just kicked my ass. I got to shake your hand. And then head-to-head, it's like you want to try to kill a guy. Go to hell. Yeah, we like that. Strong feedback. I like it. Any thoughts, final thoughts on Liverpool,

Evan Bezo says the new owner. Yeah. I mean, they've clearly got a lot of money. I don't know. We'll see. I think it's great having a, having a rich owner. They still got a, I mean, Liverpool is such a successful club, aren't they? Like, I mean, they're Everton's biggest rival.

I don't know. Like, we'll see. It literally happened today, right? Yeah, I think so. Within the last 24 hours. And who knows if it's gone completely through, we all saw the same tweet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

We'll see where that goes. I don't know. I can't, I can't honestly wish that he does a great job for the football club, but, you know, all the best. Yeah, all the best. And it's still going to Amazon some shit to the house. All right. I appreciate that.

You're the best, Tommy. Good luck. Remember, we need. Thanks, guys. Maybe, you know, good one. Brick wall first. Yeah. Yes.

About the best. Caddy. Have the caddy put the palm up. Run through a brick wall. Hell yeah. It's the American way. Yeah, we appreciate that. That's Tommy Flewere. Hey, all me.

Get your tickets now for the dog stars. It's no surprise how fast civilization can disappear. Go! Out there, it's kill or be killed. Jacob Allurety. There are people out there? They need our help. Josh Bullen.

Shoot first and inquire afterwards. Margaret Qualie. Okay, tough guy. And Guy Pearce. Arm up. The Dog Stars, directed by Ridley Sky. in theaters August 28th. Get tickets now.

Good a lot. Is it a caddy allowed to touch the golfer whenever they're golf? It's a good question. No way. That's got to be against the rules. I mean, be a pretty good little gig. Someone should try it, though. You just held somebody's forehead.

Or just sits right behind him and swings their hips for them. If their hips are a little, you know, a little tight that day. Or helps you swing, like gives you some momentum on the back. Yeah. Throw that club. I'm on golfing this weekend. Yeah. How to go?

I hurt. 7.30 a.m. T. What? That's early. Nice. How many holds you played? Did you make it on time or were you signed autographs for volunteers? So.

Okay. What are you referring to? I don't know. I don't know. I had to be getting swarmed. I don't know. I don't know what that is referring to, but I will say. Oh, okay.

You know who. Brody. Pretty dark out, Tony. Geez, Louise. They're talking about golf still. Yeah. Wow. You can go ahead and just chalk that up to maybe I was right.

Maybe I was right. Let's move along. Blocky was ejected, disqualified, he walked off. He walked off. He shot a couple seconds late, and they find them two things. He said he was just taking photos. He was signing too many autographs.

That was his fault. Shot of 45 on the front. We've all been there. Actually, I was there this week. I think that is what I... Wait, he was late to the 10th tea? No, to his tea time. because he was taking pictures

with staff there. So he's assessed a two-stroke penalty. He plays like shit on the front nine. And then on poll 12 or 13, he just packs it up and says, you know, fuck this, I'm leaving. Doesn't tell anybody. Doesn't tell us playing partners.

Just kind of just exit stage right. This is what's being reported. Now, we do... Blocky did fire back. Yeah, don't believe everything you read on social media. Yeah, Brockie was not necessarily thrilled. Yes, I was a couple of seconds late. To my tea time got caught up taking pictures for volunteers, first time in my career,

in completely my fault. Yes, I did tell my playing partners this, that I was withdrawing. I strongly recommend certain social media accounts from reporting false information. Which there's a lot these days. And I'm done with it. I'm still a blockhead. Me too. I am still a blockhead as well.

And there had to be something that went on there. Now, with that being said, 7.30 a.m. tea time at the Firestone Golf Force over there. They host a bunch of tournaments. there. Tiger Woods has played there. There's a plaque on one of the holes from where Tiger Woods, I guess, hit a pitch black shot into the green and end up winning or something like that. Tiger Woods also airmailed the ninth green and hit the clubhouse and put it into the front parking lot. Okay. Nice.

I know that because I did the same. Sure. They said, I haven't seen that. One of the guys working there. I think his name was Tom. Haven't seen that since Tiger Woods. There's three guys searching for my ball in front of the clubhouse on the other side. thing hit seven bounces in the patio. So I hit a cart path, bang, into their patio, bang, off a table in the patio, boom, clean bounce. Another one, bang, boom, up over the brick,

up to the front yard, into the roundabout in the front. Complete air mail. You and Tiger. Did you play it from out there? Pick that thing up and said, who did that? Where's my hot dog? That's what I did. But it was a blast out there, man.

It really was. It was a phenomenal weekend for celebrating the Hall of Fame. It was also a great weekend for Hunter Henry. He signs another message. Congratulations to him. I remember when the New England Patriots dumped like $700 million into two tight ends. Hunter Henry was one of them. Now Hunter Henry is going to remain a New England Patriot

as he's locked in for another two-year deal. You guys love him up there. Seems like he is the epitome of this new generation of the patch, trying to get back to the old pads. Yeah, I love him. He was kind of part of the rookie year Mack Jones, kind of made him really, really good, brought us back to the playoffs. And then he's kind of stuck with us through over the years as it's been bad.

And now great again. He is kind of the safety valve for Drake May. probably going to be a huge year for Hunter Henry with Eli Rairden being the rookie tight end, him kind of mentoring him in the room out of Notre Dame, great players so far. And then also having AJ Brown, Kisham Booty, Romeo Dobbs.

It should open up a bit for Hunter Henry. He might have a career year. New England Patriots might be all the way back, AJ. And I know nobody really wants to talk about that because as Vinot Terry referred to him, the masholes are very loud as a fan base, especially if their teams could.

They just lost in a Super Bowl last year, way ahead of schedule. they are going to be obnoxious. And it feels like they only got better, but obviously there's a lot of discussion about what's going on outside the field. Let's talk about what's going on on the field and some other places.

Have you seen the Packers energy on the defense's side? Holy boy. You got a fire in your gut, Ty, or what? Yeah, I mean, you know, if I didn't, if I had reservations about Jonathan Gannon, you know, coming into the season, like,

I really didn't want them to hire this guy. I would have loved him to keep Jeff Halfley. This is all I need to see. This guy's got fire in his gut. he's jacked up he's chest bumping everybody uh i love it and i think he is going to unfortunately he'll probably only be in green bay for you know one to two years and then he's going to get another head coaching job because this defense is going to be fast they're going to be physical they're going to be hungry uh they're going to be everything you need to be to go on a

super bowl i love jonathan ganon love him a jay the packer stadium being packed out for the night practice was absurd the pittsburgh steeler is obviously have a legendary fan base as well. You know, some people even say like AFC's Green Bay Packers is, the Pittsburgh Steelers, because of how they fill up every stadium you go to. I'll tell you what's a little bit different. This training camp night practice, Green Bay had 50-some thousand there

watching this practice as Matthew Golden hits a deep, deep ball from Jordan Love. AJ, has it always been like that over there? Yeah, it has. It's called the Family Night Scrimmage, where it's usually like the first Friday during camp, and it's I was there nine years. I think it was sold out every single year. It's awesome. Big fireworks show

at the end. It's truly like a family night. If you see some players came out holding their kids, I believe, coming her from the tunnel, all of that stuff. Yeah, it really, like, encapsulates what Green Bay is. And so Zambeli Fireworks afterwards, obviously, that's absolute insanity. But is the whole entire Lambo Museum area opened up? Is this just like kind of a signature off-season event that everybody just kind of locks in as a welcome back to football? Because 50-some-thousand people coming to a glorified practice is absolutely absurd.

So is it a full event all day kind of for everybody or what? I believe, I mean, training camp in general in Green Bay, everything's open up. They're running tours through the Pro Shop to the, through the Hall of Fame all day, every day through Lambeau Field. So, yeah, I think some people make, like, the pilgrimage to Green Bay, and they stay there for a couple weeks during camp. What was it?

$450 million? What was their number? From the league? The real estate investment and stuff? That was $2.50 from the real estate stuff. I think it was $4.50 they were getting from the league for revenues. $4.59, I think. And then their books, whenever all the negotiations were going on,

public because they're publicly owned or whatever how much money they're making off of real estate was like 200 million plus in green bay wisconsin it's like how the f how are you making that much money it's like oh they own everything up there yeah yeah holy hell you get a little ice cream guess who's getting that the green bay packers yes you can certainly get a little smoothie at the frozen tundra that's coming right back here to the jeep it does feel like that and the city and the team are more one than maybe anywhere else and uh that's special stuff i saw a lot of people on the air and saying there ain't nothing else to do. Well, whatever. Who cares?

They are there. They are there. It's not just like, it's not 50,000 people from Green Bay that went to go. Like people are, like AJ said, people are traveling from everywhere to come to do this. But we've been there. There is nothing else to do there other than go to Packers games. I mean, that's kind of how

the Midwest is. And the Osaita Casino. Yeah, the Oneida Casino. Obviously love them. Quickly, as we have about a minute beforehand, maybe the Dodgers aren't going to ruin baseball. They suck. Yeah, they have not been playing well, but it doesn't matter. I mean, they're going to be locked and loaded once the playoffs start. I heard the Tigers are good, and the Dodgers stink.

Since the trade, yeah. So it turns out that, you know, the Tigers just needed a nice firm little kick in the ass to get them going. They got that, and I think this is the Dodgers knowing, hey, we're so much better than everybody. We can lose our next 30 games, and it doesn't matter. I like how OPEC that was. Yeah, that was cool. If we can maybe get that thing to turn, maybe we get a little Ken Burns-Opeck effect on. Todd Schmidt is he's chit-chatting about the biggest story in baseball.

baseball, which is, is baseball dead after this year? If the Dodgers win, it's going to be hard to see it happen. But if they suck, maybe baseball keeps on churning, and we all get to enjoy the hell out of big dongs happening every night. Let's go Red Sox. Let's go parts. Go bananas. That's what I'm talking about.

Fuck, you, D, butt. Fuckos are dead. And on that. I hope you guys have a positive day. I mean, the way this ended, not the greatest, but be a friend, tell our friends something nice. Might change your life. see you tomorrow. Goodbye.

Boy, is this a high note on a way on. Well, you just said, let's go pirates, and you just can't do that right now. Sox are the only team that can take down the Dodgers. Okay, we need them to go all the way. We all up here, especially you, need to be cheering for the Boston Red Sox. No, not a chance.

The Yankees suck. They're bad. They're hurt. They don't. They're very hurt. But, you know, the Red Sox have won, what, 30 of their last 34 games. They're still behind the Yankees. I should kind of tell you, where they were at. That's not true.

We passed them over the weekend. You guys are still behind us. Because you lost yesterday and so we see. But you lost yesterday too. Yeah, look, we got 66 wins and 52 lost. You guys got 64. You got less games.

You got less wins and more lost. Raised cooking, huh? Yeah, the rays are unbelievable. Yeah, the rays don't ever lose. And that would be the one thing in terms of like if they could go win. Yes. That would kind of pierce the whole.

The brewers. Yeah, every argument would just be, because they don't spend any fucking money. So it's like if they can go win, then everything that the owners are trying to say, it's for not. In the NL Central, there's a little bit of movement down there. I don't know if you guys saw it. Whoa. I don't know if a certain college football analyst has any thoughts on the Reds being fucking dead last in the NL Central, just like we thought. Pittsburgh Bucco's on the way up.

By the way, on the way up. Schino is going to be just fine. We've unfortunately lost six straight series since the All-Star Break. They haven't lost the game since the All-Star Break. Yeah, kind of a tale of two stories there. Man, in the mids still dealing us?

Oh, yeah. Yep. Spending it. And we'll continue to deal. Clemens get hit a home runoff when I saw that. Rogers kid you. Oh, it's just got to feel good for Dad. No way. But he also knows if you just make contact with this fucking thing. Bingo.

You got to touch it. If you just touch it, it'll go. And I like that you do just, let's maybe just half swing this, just fucking make contact. The ball will literally go out of itself. And that's what's happening right? Why did you say it? It's fucked up. What are you talking about?

Miz is just awesome. He is. He is. Great pitcher. That's fucked up, man. Why is that fucked up? Because you know why. Why? We know who the Ms. is, the real Ms.

Yeah. The Mizoroski. Yeah. No. The pitcher. Going to win a Tsai Young. You're talking about what I was there for. I don't know if you saw.

with the mic? No, the miss. Did you see Friday night's Smackdown? Oh, there's the mic. Boom. Boom. People love the mic. Shout out to Big Dom, by the way.

And Davo. Shout out to Devo and Big Dom. Daveo was the guy with Big Dom at Humberg. He was also with Big Dom as the mic signs were just seen all over the place. And then I don't know if you followed on the Internet. Did you follow on the Internet? I saw it. But, you know, I never know what's real.

It's been reported that WWE has filed trademark patent for, the mic. Yeah. Oh, no. Let's call him to see what's going on. Incredible. I also saw another tweet on the internet about win-loss records.

For the mic? Was that real? For who? I saw the mic. He was a pop of the list? He led the league in losses over the last like 15-20. What league?

All the leagues? Yeah, all the leagues. Every single one. WW, W-C-W-WF. ECW. G-C-W. Yeah. A-E-W.

K-1. Oh, K-1, that was good fighting back in the day. Yeah. O-C-W. How about the mic not answering? What's that all about? It's probably losing. What's that all about?

Shouldn't the mic jump ahead of WWE and got the, you know, filed for that before them? That's funny. Kirk Herb Street says he's still loving some football. Okay. Him and Peter just falling asleep to these things. Doesn't mean you'll love it. I hope to stay on board with soccer. Me too.

We're going to. Let's try it. You do hope. This is from Chan. man chandran the man w w w wrestlers with the most losses in wwee history a current cane had a lot of else

Brooklyn brother they'd send his ass out there to make a lot of people look good Dolph sigler jes louise the amount of over others were because of him yeah little on Randy who has the most televised matches in a history cophy kingston he was world champion remember yeah big show

if you beat the big show That's a quick way to be, you know. Hey, how do we make? It's over, brother. And Seamus are, what's the crack Irish lad brother? Nine hundred and five losses? Nobody's close to the Miss.

Shamans still bringing it? Yeah, he is. Fucking love that guy. But yeah, Ms. Obviously, at the top of the month, I mean, you got to, you got to beat, you got to play the games and lose them. That's the legend right there. It's a legendary list.

I agree. Wait until you see the Mike's record, though. Yeah. That's what the Miss is doing. Wait until he's doing. Wait until he's the mic. And then I'll be excited to see. Because the mic, just to me, I don't know how everybody else is feeling.

The mic to me feels like Ohio Dad, which is what he is. Yeah. Your friendly neighborhood, Mike. Yeah. Exactly. So everything that he actually is, he's been fighting it, you know, for a long time. I'm the best and I'm awesome. A-lister.

Yeah. Stars of Marine 3, 4, 5 and Christmas vacation. Exactly. Gladiators. I'm hosting, Marion Gladiator. Season two coming soon. Hollywood, 50 plus episodes of Mizum, reality TV star. Real world, obviously, legend, and icon.

Like, he has a lot of these things like he's trying to be. He needs to just go back to his roots. He needs to just be Ohio, dad. I'm the mic, and I'm average. Me, me. Yeah. And I'm cool. Yeah, relatable.

Yeah, there it is. There it is. Um, the mic and, um, Relatable. And undefeated. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. They have filed for a trademark. That is actual.

What are they thinking over there? They know. They see the stardom. What if they're like, wait a minute, the Mizz is the best pitcher in baseball. This guy. Maybe we should celebrate the hell out of that while also honoring what could be,

which is the mock. In that business, that's the right thing to do. Well, and what they do, I mean, can you imagine going into the rider's room and all of a sudden the Mike wins the next 400 matches? I mean, that's story tell. And with what we know about the mic, you could put him through 400 matches over the next three, four weeks. Yeah, without doubt. Oh, yeah. He will, won't he, AJ?

He will be selling it, too. We know that. That's because he's good, Ohio, hard working. Humble, gritty. Grindr. From the beginning. Mock. The muck.

undefeated. He is undefeated. He is undefeated. He can't believe he didn't answer. I can't believe he didn't beat W to it. You're right, AJ. It might be a little longer than tooth. What do you mean?

He's got to beat. He's been title minutes for what? Months now? True. He let W.W.E. Beech it too? Yeah, but he's in denial. True.

Until now, probably. Is he going to answer this or no? If he doesn't answer his show's over. This is on the mic. He might be trying. Where's raw at? Saudi. Okay.

Is it? I don't know. It's a random buncher if it was. It's fucking August 10th. Looks like it's in Nofolk, Virginia. It's probably real cool. I don't think that's exactly how you say that. I thought they are always silent.

But there is Sappho and Nofolk. Yeah. Yeah. I believe that is how that is pronounced down there. Virginia, August 10th, that arena is going to be hot. Oh, man. That arena is going to be hot.

tonight. As hot as it be in Saudi, though. I'll tell you, Canton was pretty hot. Yeah. Canton was hot and thick. It was very, very thick over there in Ohio, I must say. It was the number one contenders tournament tonight. What? Is the mic in it? Penta versus the Laredo Kid. It was the first round. What? So Laredo Kid? Yeah. Who fucks that? Laredo kid. I heard he trains by running miles while pushing sleds, which would be similar to what my man Bibelhausen accomplished this weekend. Stephen Biebelhausen and his baby ran a 4-17 mile.

And if you look at the baby, I don't know how old, maybe six, seven, eight, nine months. I'd be better. I think baby ran every single step as well. Maybe he's got a lot of juice. I don't know if there was rain or wind or what that baby's seeing the entire time, but I do know Mr. Bablehausen is running the shit out of this mile with his baby. And I certainly respect it. I appreciate it.

But, man, that's a fast time to be running a mile. on pushing something. I heard the internet fodder was potentially that he's leaning on it taking some weight off. It's like, all right, well, what happens when there's hills, though? There's certainly a little added extra weight. I respect his move by the Bebelhausen family and baby Bebelhausen.

Yeah. What? What a jackass? What? Just write it on your own. I feel bad for baby. I feel like... He's having a great time. In that one clip, you're telling me over that entire time that baby was doing that, there's no way.

babies love getting pushed around. He's running behind the truck, too? That's cheating. What? I mean, that's cheating. The truck is over here. He's drafting. Exactly.

He's drafting. He's got wheels. These guys, we're not impressed. We might be up there with a little tink-tink. I'm impressed with people, Hudson. I don't think it's, I don't think it's right. We're not impressed by a 417 mile while pushing a baby. What?

Absolutely. Is that his kid? You would assume. That's a great question. This is a look at me. It's a grade A, loggie-bees situation. It is baby Beeblehausen, for my understanding. Okay.

This is a dad and baby Biebelhausen memory that they'll have forever. No, no, that baby will not register that. That looks like AI. That's a thing. That's not a real baby. Yeah, that's baby Bipelhausen, dude. Dad's running a 417 mile pushing a stroller. You don't think baby's going to have a little bit of juice?

Might be a damn battery. That doesn't. Motorizing. How many times are they fall? people hasn't never fallen what are we talking about this guy's 417 mile we are celebrating stephen i am at least let's job bebel hasn steve bebel has it's also baby hasin let's take a trip to the little league world series softball championship there's one team uh from north carolina i do believe that had two golden gloves in one inning okay line drive out center out of a down there boom wow yeah nice uh sliding snack

Hell of a play. Out of the Little League softball world series. Great glasses. Love everything about it. Good grab. Also, in that inning, after we see the slow-mo of the slot, in that inning, a web gem, spectacle. Go on. Oh, get out of town.

Stolen, I'd say. Steaks the glove in under the ball. Good sprint, good read, good glasses, good moxie, great catch. Keep the glasses on the face. That's good work out there. That's an incredible play. I respect the hell out of that play. First one, look like

maybe did the slide just to make it a little easier. Full-out effort sprint into saving it. Great play by them. You can tell that they focus on the field at practice, and that's what wins your championships, Doug. That's a good point, especially in these tournaments, where it seems like one team plays good defense always and the other team has loads and loads of errors.

So usually the team who plays a good, could clean game defensively, they're going to win. and it looks like they did. And it looks like it's packed out there. AJ, do you know anything about this more than us because your kids are probably near this age here? I don't know a whole lot about it because my daughter did not play softball,

but yeah, these girls can play. We know that. Well said, AJ. I don't know exactly what you want me to add on this one, but yeah, amazing. Two very, very good plays. Where do they play that at? Greenville, South Carolina.

Okay, it's awesome. It's a spectacle. sold out right there. A couple of amazing plays. Shout out to Little League Sports continue and do it. And also shout out to Norway doing stuff that we'd expect. Death diving's back because of the Ocho! Yeah, you've got to break the water with your face! And then obviously, go ahead and

bust yourself out. And obviously, they're judged on how death-defying their diving is each time. And anytime the Ocho's cooking, you've got the donk, and you got white people throwing themselves into water in various different ways. I appreciate the death diving. That one had to be the winner, but the full

send right into the face right there might have been the winner. I don't know what all the judges are looking for, but whatever you need, they have for you from a very high, 33 foot. Wait, wait. Was that black dude? I thought I just, I think there is a black dude coming up here who does a bunch of flips. Play. Play. Play. Next one. Yep. I'm thinking. This guy right here. I don't know. If I'm just put my. If I'm just put eyes on this event. I'm saying this is a Caucasoid event. I am saying, look at that. There it is. Now, I have, yeah, that guy's really going right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. We appreciate them doing that.

Shout out. I hope they all got tens or do you not want a 10. I don't know. And speaking of a 10. Did you see Schwabo showcase some athleticism? Let me get over. Get over. It's not a pickle, actually. I'm just going to, ah, tackle you. Yep. And that's me. You're out. You're out. You're out. Yeah. And let me get up. That's Ohio middle linebacker. Kirk Herbstreet or I forget who it was sent us and said, hey, this guy could have been big four conference, power four conference linebacker if you want to. Instead he just hits bombs and chase people done. Look at those little legs going, AJ. You got to be proud of that Ohio win right there. Yeah, Middys.

That's where he played in high school. Same high school as Chris Carter. So, yeah, he was an absolute stud. I heard about Shorebone from when he was a young lad back in Dayton playing football and baseball. I like the tap there too. Like, hey, yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha.

Gotcha. Yeah, just me. He won't them. Sorbo wanted him to turn back around and he'd think he got released it, and Schorbo would have absolutely lowered his shoulder and went right through the guy. Oh, right through his chest.

That's what he's hoping. He's hoping he turns back. Like we saw the Seattle Seahawks running back coach talk about. Yeah. This is tag off, but we need the lower shoulder run through chess so that they know that we are tagging and getting the hell out of the way.

I don't know if any base runners are going to want to try to outrun Schorbo or run through Schorbo. But remember, this is what this way look like as a high schooler. Yeah. This way he looked like. Yeah.

That's still in there somewhere. Dog. Still in it. Not smiling either. No. Game face. See this cowboy collar? I ain't breaking my neck, but I am going to try to break yours.

That's what that thing actually says. That's right. Now he's chasing people down as they're trying to steal second base. He's hitting bombs. He's hitting absolute bombs. I always pick him and others for my home run thing and it never really comes through. He hit two yesterday. This guy's hot.

Yeah, yeah. AJ, back to back. AJ, I like what you're doing. I mean, Cincinnati Reds are the worst team in baseball, but you are able to call when one of them is going to hit a home run, especially whenever there's like a, hey, if your bet doesn't hit, you get a bonus bet back. AJ, we've been very appreciative of your baseball knowledge over there.

Oh, yeah, Sal Stewart, L.A. Delacruz, they both have come through for me. And the Reds, we were on a bit of a hot streak, so we had to cool down a little bit, let the rest of the division catch up. But yeah, we know the World Series runs through the NL Central, so it's very, everyone keeps beating up on each other. That's right. Skino is going to find it. I hope

yeah there's probably just shut him down for the rest of the I was gonna say kind of a too little too late who's in a bomb tonight hmm who's hitting a bomb show hey is he playing PCA is he playing I don't know for Cubs I think they're both gonna go yard ski Cubs don't play nice

no Cubs don't play Dodgers for the socks in Toronto okay sick Royals at Dodgers scoves is going the night so his second start I believe have you guys seen the big fights have been going on Where at? Oh, not just in the squared circle. Okay.

Not just in the boxing ring. Yeah. Not in the octagon. Okay. They're happening at a training camp. What? Yeah. I don't know if you saw in Cleveland.

Big scrap. New verse. For no. Left tackle. Huh? Huh? Lose his helmet. Body slam on top of him.

Never want to be the guy without a helmet in the middle of the pile. For no massive man. No verse takes him down. He was obviously a part of the trade that sent Miles Garrett out to the Los Angeles Rams. Fun fact about this one? Just about a week ago. versus Finnell getting extra work afterward. D'Boh, what does this tell you about the Cleveland brands

that we've seen a lot of highlights? Now we see some scrapping between some people. I mean, it's just training camp. You know, you're going to see highlights, you know, iron, sharpened iron is what that is right there. Pre or post-practice, but look, especially the big guys in those trenches, it gets hot. Some of these days you got pads on.

Some days you know, fuck it. I don't like how you. You push me a little too much. Fuck it. We're going to the ground. Yeah, and sometimes it's a plan by some position groups to get a fight in to maybe shorten a period. You know, some people are maybe trying to work a period a little bit.

Hey, we're getting big ball at the beginning of this thing. Probably eats up some time. Then obviously we're able to go to the end. So you never know what's a work or what's a shoot, especially with these two as they were working together just a couple weeks ago, but everything can change. Whatever whistle blows. We respect and appreciate that.

How about Super Bowl MVP? Oh. You hear about this? Dennis Walker says, I don't think so. Alohi. What do you think this is, pal? This is tag off. Oh, yeah, well, little chirpy, chirpy.

Who are you? Back, tackle him, take some down the ground like it's the hawks gone. He did shoot for an ankle lock, but they broke him up beforehand before he could get the cleats in there. Kenneth Walker took that thing to the ground and the scrum quickly. I like that they're getting a little chippy over there in Cannes City, especially at the Super Bowl MVP, A.J. Yeah, I think this is great. This is a very, very normal for training camp. I mean, the tackle after the ball throw, that doesn't always happen.

But you see, I mean, you're tired, you're running. You see he gets a shot as he's like going out of bounds. It felt like, hey, it's a little harder. I want, but I mean, Kenneth obviously lowered his shoulder. He's got to protect yourself as a defender. But yeah, this is very, very normal. I'm sure they laughed about it later. This is exactly what the Seattle Seahawks running back coach was talking about.

It might be tag off, but let's make sure they tag off. And we are running right through their chest to set a precedent for the rest of camp on what this is. And Alohi didn't like it, Debut. I like it. I like how Gilman finished the play. AJ mentioned it. You dropped the shoulder on me. Okay, cool.

I'm just going to finish the play and make sure you get out of balance, practicing good habits. So I like this two vets. Once again, middle of the training camp. Is this Gilman's second year? Can't say the first year. Okay, so both first year guys with these teams. So just like verse. Same with first year in Cleveland.

So you kind of got to set the tone. Good crowd up there on the hill. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I like the crowd that's up there. I've been liking seven million for that Hall of Fame game. I guess that's more than the NBA on Christmas. Definitely, especially now.

I guess that's more than the NBA game on Christmas. I think that was like 6.8 or something like that. And they were talking about that viewership being up. So now $7 million for the Hall of Fame game, Carson Beck versus Haynes King, over 80 points. and Rush quarterback rushing yards combined hit for us in Canton Hall of Fame game.

I guess numbers are up. I assume this is going to be Gumpy. This season's going to be... The best season yet. There's a chance. Feels like it. This week could potentially be... The best week yet.

Thursday and Friday will be the brunch lads. 11 to 1. We will be going live on ESPN. So we start our show an hour earlier on Thursday. Friday. A little brunch, huh? Love it. Love it. Some mimosas here, perhaps? Oh, maybe some mimosas. You can have some

eggs, but you can also have steak. What? Yeah, you can have waffles, but also maybe some chicken. You want a little bacon, that's fine, but also maybe a club sandwich. It's a brunch. You kind of have whatever the hell you need. That's Thursday, Friday 11 to 1 on ESPN. That's exciting.

Also, Diary of a Polarizing Figure comes out Thursday at Hell yeah. Tell you what? Also excited. I'm very excited about this. It should be. Should be. I'm very, very excited. I'm pumped up about it. I am thankful that it's being wrapped up literally as we speak right now.

Final touches as it's about to be uploaded. So it can be on all platforms. Shout out to all the parties behind the scenes right now working. Ilya and all the incredible musicians down in Nashville. Final touch is happening. Final mixing. Final uploading. There's so many files being transferred.

So many emotional stories of. mind about to be shared. A couple of bangers in. Oh, yeah. I think I got a couple of bangers in there. My words, my melodies, my singing, incredibly talented Nashville people making the music around it. It's been a fun experience.

And I do believe, I do believe we have a song on there for everybody. Okay. I think there's a song on there for everybody. Now that, what order is it going to go in? Good question. None of that stuff has been figured out yet. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm figuring out in real time right now. But you don't have the track list locked and loaded as of right now.

No, I do. Okay, nice. I like that. We can make changes. Is that the official album cover? That's a big. No, whoa, whoa, we don't know that either yet. Okay.

We don't know what is any of that. We'll find out Thursday night, midnight. As we make those decisions already, for sure. I like that. Song got added like what, three days ago. Wrote it like a week ago. It's like, let's add this. This needs to be in there.

Something needs to be said. Then some of the songs I wrote when I'm like 20 years old. So, I mean, there is a lot of, you know, range of my life. I feel like that you get a chance to hear from me and how I was talking to myself in those moments and things that I thought and observations. And a little shit's being talked in there, I will say, you know, somebody's got to gash you up, man.

Might as well be yourself in your notes section. And then there's some perspective stuff, I think. There's some deep shit in there. I honestly am excited to hear people's reactions to this. I think it's going to be a little bit different than what everybody thinks. And I think it's going to be a little bit different than what everybody thinks. And I'm incredibly grateful for the people in Nashville who helped it all come to life.

And, yeah, Thursday night, midnight. Crazy. Let's go. We'll be there. Here we fucking go. Here we fucking go, Lads. Here we fucking go, AJ. When's the first time you thought of putting an album out?

Like 20 years ago or recently? No, I just wrote. I was just wrote, wrote, wrote, wrote. And then what I told, jelly roll one time, that I had like 20 songs in my notes section, that I got to find out if they suck or not at some point. Then he introduced me to Ernest. Ernest introduced me to Seth at Big Loud and then kind of just start chit-chatting, learning the process.

Put Dookie out as like a, hey, what would this, what is the, I don't know nothing about music. What is the process of music? Put Dookie out so kind of like learn what the process is. And obviously that's a hilarious song to put out as like the first one, you know, like, hey, yeah, here's the song. And everybody's like, okay, he's making 14 to 15 more Dukies. It's like vastly different songs than Duky,

but there's still some similarities in there. But learn that process through there. So then it's been since, it's been like a year, probably a year and a half process here, piecing it all together, doing it all. Learning my singing voice,

that's been fun. Shout to Coach Gaiton and doing a little work with her. You know, doing all that stuff. You know, we're running the vocal cords from down here up to here

and maybe even tapping into here if we need to on a couple in tail end of these songs. So it's been fun, Because obviously your talking voice and your singing voice aren't the exact same and I think whenever people hear my singing voice They're gonna be like holy shit and it's repeatable. I'm excited to do it live. I'm excited to do all this live Which is really the only reason why I made any of it Just have a good time mm-hmm. It's actually one of the names of the song good times

That's all we're looking for. Oh, yeah, amen A fucking man, amen What was Vinnie all about with the balls joke? It played It certainly yes, it did, but maybe you were wrote that for him. Well, he said that I did say that a bunch of times. You have. I don't remember saying it like that.

Not with them showing his wife now. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Big Bob. Yeah. She loved it. Yeah, she was great. That was awesome.

His family's awesome. I will say, and they're also, that made me feel old. Oh, yeah. The kids. Yeah. Growing up. Because I mean, like, his daughter was tiny, tiny. Gabe, who's now the tallest of the family?

I mean, he was just a little. I mean, just a tiny. tiny little tyke and now he's the tallest of the family. Mm-hmm. I just immediately started shit talking him, you know? Just immediately. I heard you're down athletic because you're too tall or whatever. He goes, me?

I go, yeah, he goes, no, no, no. And I asked Vinny and Vinny's like, he's the one. This guy, this guy's the one. And it's like, I'm excited because AJ's back into punning again, which I'm excited to see. And his daughter, I mean, it was just cool to see it all. And his family from South Dakota I never met. A lot of people from South Dakota came out there.

high school. I think I made a couple of videos for a couple of South Dakota high schools to beat shit out of everybody else. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. I'm on, I'm on board with a couple teams out there. I don't know exactly who they are at this moment, but just know that they're going to win. They got a Venturi on their team. And Vinnie being a kicker going in, you don't feel like it's such a big deal, and then you hear everybody try to justify why kickers going in. It's like, oh, this is a big deal. Yeah, it's huge. Oh, yeah. This is a really, really big deal. And you kind of experience that all weekend. So football's back. We're lucky to be a part of it.

We got brunch on Thursday and Friday, and we're back tomorrow. What's going on with this Patriot games? Have you heard about these? This morning I have. Just heard about them, yeah. New England Patriots? No.

They are playing games because that's what they do. I mean, just looking at their pre-season slate earlier. I know. This Patriot games happen. It's high school athletes from around the country competing for $225,000 scholarship. So we used to have the presidential fitness kind of thing. Yep.

I can never get it because the blue box I couldn't touch my toes, so I never win it. So now I believe they're what they're trying to bring back is like an athletic competition amongst the high school's best from around the country to win a scholarship. I like it. It kind of looked like a little global guts, American gladiators show. That's how it was America.

Ninja Warrior. Yeah, all of them combined. I think Disney and ESPN are currently broadcasting them, and it's called the Patriot Games. I believe the finals are happening tomorrow. Hell yeah. It's in Ohio, right, AJ. Do you know anything about this?

We're just learning about it in real time this morning. I do not know much about this to tell you the truth. I think it's high schoolers trying to earn some scholarships and obviously getting a chance to showcase there. Anything that's promoting fitness, I'm in. Yeah. You know, anything that's promoting that type of stuff I think is good. Anything that's rewarding that stuff is good

because I'm seeing a lot of these young e-bikers. Yeah. Lazy, fat, arrogant. I mean, aren't these bikes, I think just since bikes have been created and you look at the Peloton fad that kind of took over, bikes like naturally create leg muscles. Yeah. Like for kids.

Like you don't even really know. You're naturally creating leg muscles, which is why all these olds love doing it because it's like a workout that they know how to do and it crushes it. None of these youngs are doing it anymore because they're all just turning the throttle. It's like what's going to happen?

There's going to be a bunch of squids. These kids are just going to look like a bunch of octopus. Probably. It's going to happen to these legs. We need these legs. The e-bikes need to be banned from these teenagers. I agree. I'm done with it.

We're creating problems. You know how many e-bikers are going to be in this Patriot? games when these? None none. None. Nope. None of them. These kids need to earn this shit. Should be 65 and up to buy one. So at least 21. At least 50. I'm okay with 18. Just I just want everybody know I'm strictly at 18. Just let them. But these kids got to be. Yeah. You know. Get a dino and do some tricks. Get some pegs on the front. Sure. A her. A mongoose. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Make sure to make sure the break courts aren't connecting. You know.

Yeah, you're gonna get. That you grind on the pads. Yeah, that's what I just did. Yeah. You heard it? Yeah. You see me here right now? Yeah, we did it all time.

It's not that hard. You see what I'm doing right now? Yeah, digs and just grinding rails. You see what I'm doing it? Right on the handle bars. Yeah, right on the handle rails. Come on. Come on.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing there. Every once in a while, just, let's fuck this one up. Boom. Good old toe. Yeah. Good times. Oh, yeah. Staying on the back, stand on the back on the back on the,

Bigs. Yep. Come on, come, come, ball, ball. Smashing lightning bows. Oh, shit. Oh, fuck. God.

Now these kids just... Yeah. You guys just to pin a... I used to pin a card, like a playing card to the back spokes, so it's done like a motorcycle. Duh. Flat tan.

Oh, what was your... Yeah, all the losers at our district did that. I know, yeah. There's a lot of things that a lot of people did. The playing card in the spokes was certainly one. How about the dice? Yep. The dice on the hubcap things.

Yeah, the hubcap. Did you have the plastic things that were on the wheel pegs or the wheel spokes too that when you wrote around and made the noise? Like they were all different colors. Do you have those two? Yeah, you did, AJ. The little beads. Yes, thank you. No.

He had beads. That's old school. That's old school. That's old school. That's old school. How are you? I don't know. I didn't school, too.

No, the new school is these kids, don't you? pedal. They sit there and turn her hand like this. I'm worried about what it's going to do for society. Like actually. I think we are not worrying about that enough. I think natural leg muscles are built by walking at least or riding a bike. And then you go like what? 10 year olds on these little e-bikes. It's like some of these things I'm seeing way too young to be on there. It's like you should have to fucking earn both those wheels moving. And they don't. There was a pack of kids in my neighborhood on Saturday or maybe it was Sunday riding bikes hard. For like at bicycles?

Yeah, for like eight hours. We like that. Yeah. Those, those e-bikes are like five grand. So the people that are going to be affected by them are affected by a lot of other stuff. Oh, see, I thought they were getting to a price where it was like very. I think the ones you're talking about like that we had those old e-bikes at the old office, like the really nice.

Yeah. There are different ones that are definitely super affordable that like. Yeah, because we're at that park for your wedding. Yeah. I was like we were at your wedding at that park in the amount. of kids, I saw it was obviously very nice part of town. Yeah, very nice part of town.

You're the nicest town of America. Yeah, all right, maybe I shouldn't be judged in it. Okay, it actually was voted nicest. Yeah, it was. Those kids were going to have no leg muscles. All right, which were they ever? Maybe the more things change, more they stay sane.

At least they're outside. Yeah. Least they're outside. Be a friend, tell her friends, I'm nice. It might change their life. We're in this thing together. We can't thank all of. Enough.

And if you have any ideas on how the hell we should handle this Friday thing with the album release, we're looking for ideas. Kind of want people to learn about the music on their own accord. Sure. But, you know, as an independent artist, let's have a good time, please. Let's enjoy this life. We're all very thankful to be here. We love all of you.

Thank all of you. And we will see all of you tomorrow. Be a friend, tell of friends. something nice might change your life we're in this thing together team on me team on three one two three three good bye
