What's up, everybody? It is Friday, August 6th. You are listening to the Pat McAfee Show 2.0. You know the drill. It's Friday. Pat had to hop on a plane to get down to Tampa for Friday night. Smack Don! Tonight on Fox at 8. It's a good show, baby. Football is back. The Hall of Fame game was last night.

Ian Rappaport stops by from Tennessee Titans camp to chat about everything going on in training camp. And AJ stops by as we cover everything else going on in the sports world and in the world of football. Let's get to it. At Tone Diggs and Gumpy are in here. The Hammer Don boys at Boston Corner. At Kai Schmidt, the Toxic Table, all the boys in the back. There's a little bit

of an energy in the office this morning. You could say that. It feels like some of those that work in this particular space on a daily basis, whenever they come in through the door sometimes maybe they walk in and they're not in their best

version of themselves sure sure you know maybe there's a little coffee that needs to happen you know maybe there's some conversation needs to happen a little something happens this morning it felt like yeah donuts need to come in there was there's diabetes rolling in here i guess at a rapid alarming rate almost quick and it seemed delicious and i will try it later whenever the fast begins and i you know i do regret every decision i've ever made that I'm not eating at the time whenever those donuts do come in here. I would like that to be known.

Every Friday when those donuts come in, they are, they look so good. And Gumpy, I appreciate this is kind of your thing now to the office. It is very nice of you. But normally, you know, for the past couple months, not the same vibe as it was this morning. And although that game got very terrible quick, and although that football was sloppy, trashy, and almost as messy as the messy situation with Bartholona, we can now turn on the TV in the morning,

and we can go onto the Internet, and we can see NFL teams being represented in highlights that are happening yesterday. Yeah! Are you kidding me? Unbelievable. I don't know how long Punxsutawney Phil lives in that little fucking hole.

And I don't know how long bears stay in hibernation or whatever. And whenever people go into solitude or whatever it is, but it feels like in the offseason, we're kind of locked away in a little no happy time. Yeah. When's football coming back in? And people are going to say that I might be a shallow human for that.

And I say, you're right. Okay. Sure. Not very deep thoughts here. Let's go ahead and cut those off. Let's have a good time. Football makes me happier. That's what I realized last night

watching the pre-show where they were celebrating all the greats, not only of this year's Hall of Fame class, but last year's Hall of Fame class. There was a lot of interviews

and conversations. The stadium in Canton, Ohio looked beautiful from the drone shots or the helicopter shots. It was filled up. And although the football, I can't reiterate this enough, got very, very, very bad.

Bad football. Because the players that were playing are probably not going to end up in the NFL. Very good football players, probably not going to end up in the NFL for a large majority of them. Or maybe a couple will be able to squeak through. It's not easy to make it in the NFL. But also, they've only had like four or five days to learn everything that they're supposed to learn. There was a blitz on Dwayne Haskins last night, and I don't think if Dwayne Haskins hadn't started in the past, if he was just a rookie quarterback that would normally play in these types of situations, he's getting absolutely pounded there. There's a quick

get off. He makes a completion, I think, there, but there is very limited time to prepare for this Hall of Fame game. Everybody knows it's a ceremonial game basically at this point. There was a time back in the day where I think actual players played in these games, but now that is not the case. There's still four more preseason games for both teams that played last night, three more preseason games for both teams that played last night, and four more out there. Ben will be able to get out there and maybe get some snaps.

Juju will be able to get back out there. Ben will be able to get out there and maybe get some snaps. Juju will be able to get back out there. Okay, maybe some offensive linemen will play so we can see Najee Harris with them. But it was nice to get a little football action out there. And the thing that I took away from last night is, although the kicking performance was not fantastic,

I'm talking field goals. Not great. It was tough. It was not great. It was tough for the brand when it came to get the jitters out. It's preseason. Who gives a damn? It's just preseason. Everybody's trying to get better. Now, those two guys kicking, Nice Wander and Sloman, I'm not 100% sure if they're going

to be kicking for anybody this year or their respect. Sloman, definitely not because Boz is there, but I don't know what Nice Wander's thing is. Not a great day kicking, but he's still balling out on punting and everything. Presley fucking Harvin. Hey, star of the game last night was a punter from Georgia

Tech that got drafted in seventh round. Pick 254, I believe, was the number. I was also a seventh round drafted punter, so I was super pumped to watch Presley Harvin go out there and kind of, I don't want to say earn his stripe on his Steelers helmet, but I was excited to see him with an NFL ball in an NFL setting, even though this is nothing similar to what a regular season game will be like for

Presley. I love that he stepped up to the moment and he made plays. Two pooch punts were beautiful. The first one would have been fair caught if it was a good returner at the 10, which is exactly what he would be trying to do. I'm not saying he wasn't a good returner. An actual game returner would not have tried to return a ball that was definitely fair catchable because if they fumble that, it's game over and they're fired forever. But then the next one, he puts that thing down at the half yard line. Great bounce. Okay, great bounce there. That thing could have went the opposite direction. We're talking very differently, but Presley had beautiful control on that thing. Perfect

distance. A little backspin checkup. How you doing? Keep it moving. Then he gets out there, hits a field punt, misses that one, hits the ground, gets the ball back though. It's like, hey, when you're in a groove, when you are in a zone, good things just start happening. Last ball, I think, was his best ball.

I enjoyed Presley last night. I'm also a Jordan Berry guy who is the former punter. He's currently on the roster as well. Presley was drafted. You don't spend a draft pick on a punter or a kicker, especially if he has a good game. Look for Presley to continue to go. And aside from that, I just love that football was happening, man.

Presley dominated. Got to hear Troy Aikman and Joe Buck back at it. You know, and a lot of people bury Joe Buck. All the time. Joe Buck's been calling games since he was 24 years old. I got to hear his story a little bit because

the Roselle thing. I guess his mom gave a film of his work to somebody else's wife who was in it and said, hey, will you watch a video of my work to somebody else's wife who was in it and said, hey, will you watch a video of my son?

And then that's how he got in there because his dad was in there. So it was, you know, he's got his whole thing. So a lot of people say, hey, nepotism is a problem in the TV world,

which it is, by the way. But I don't think Joe Buck is one of those situations. I think Joe Buck, regardless of who his family was, regardless of where, you know, he potentially came from or the people he got to know, he's fucking talented, man. Oh, yeah. Joe Buck is so good at what he does just as a host. Now he calls everything. So

everybody's favorite team, he has been on the call for the best moments and probably their absolute worst moments. And he's directly associated with that. And there's been a couple of situations I think he has alluded to not having great self-awareness i think while he's in the right but whenever you're on tv for 20 some years or whatever for that many hours and that many big moments you learn a lot about joe buck i don't think he gets nearly enough credit and after last night troy acheman i think he's gone to uh i think troy acheman's even because before the game he was speaking and he had a little pundit in him when he was speaking before the game, and it was a very fucking good.

And then him talking about Jerry and Jimmy, which we will talk about in moments, because that was maybe the best piece of content that has happened in a long time, just in any particular world. I like Troy Aikman a lot, though, and I don't know how anybody doesn't like Troy. I said Troy Aikman's the man last night, and there was a lot of people who were like, nah, he's terrible or whatever. Troy Aikman's fucking awesome in there.

He really is. He really is. It always goes back to, too, when your team is playing in that 4-0-5 Sunday window, having those guys call it, even so, and then let's say the next week you go and you have the third crew on Fox. There's a big difference there. It makes the game feel bigger than it really is. And I'm not sure I don't know Troy well enough. I think there's a chance he dabbles in the vitamins that I dabble in.

I don't know him well enough. This is me just judging like everybody else does. But the way his brain works and the way he speaks about the game, I think like, hey, I'm a big fan of Troy, but let's dive into the pre-show. Yes. So Jerry, just a week ago or two weeks ago,

had to address the Jimmy Johnson situation in a press conference. And that was us hearing Jerry say, fuck for, for our show. We lost our mind but i think jerry was addressing that in a big way because he knew he and jimmy were about to be around each other very closely and i guess this has been something that i didn't know enough about i guess jerry and jimmy were on the outs outs big time and they talked about last night how they were friends in freshman in college

yeah football together i believe yeah so they've been tight for a long time so sometimes your closest friends whenever you end up being against each other those things are hey cemented it like hey this is cemented it i don't think there's ever a respect loss and maybe there is a respect loss but those are normally the deeper ones whenever it's like oh fuck you no fuck you you how could you do this to me no how could you do this to me type thing and it's like well you're gone forever so jerry answering a couple weeks ago in that press conference saying i don't know how i fucked it up with you and i didn't know how big of a deal that was for him saying that and i think once we reacted to it i heard the internet say like this is the first time that jerry has really admitted almost publicly in a big way that it was kind of his fault that

this entire thing happened then last night jerry was forced to sit in jimmy johnson's show yeah okay so he was he had to so somebody who let's say let's say just for this particular story, let's say Ryan Grigson got into the Hall of Fame. And Ryan Grigson is a man who did not like me whenever I was playing for the Colts. I did not like him whenever I was playing for the Colts. It was very obvious. Might have led to me really deeply considering retiring because of that.

And by the way, I should have been a bigger person. I think we both probably will move on at some point. And it's not, at this point, I'm very thankful for everything that has happened. So it's like, I don't know how he feels, but that's just kind of how it goes. He, let's say he and I, he ends up in some award thing that I end up getting into.

And then he would have to walk in here and sit right there. Yeah. Like the night before. That's kind of what happened with Jerry Jones having to sit on that Fox set where it wasn't just the normal crew with Jimmy. It was also Troy from the booth.

And I think they had a, and it was, everybody was sitting there and then Jerry and Jim, it would be just like sitting right there. And Jerry, okay, Jerry, he almost answered these questions in a good enough fashion where it was not his fault. And he was almost not even going to put Jimmy into the fucking Dallas Cowboys ring of honor.

He did not want to. He was dancing around it. I don't want to upstage the thing. Are we doing this now? And everybody's like, yeah. Yeah. That would be like you guys, like basically, like, yeah. That's kind of what it is.

Terry Bradshaw, I gave it to him a little bit. And then, you know, they were kind of going at him. I mean, there was a. Take it away, Jerry. Hey, there's one. Go ahead. Yeah, if you want to. And they did like a close-up shot on him.

And I thought Jerry was going to be like, because he told the entire story of the ring. And the person that made it said, hey, make this thing a really tight, like really hard to get into. And they have to not only be a great player or perform, but they have to be a massive part of the story of the horseshoe. And he goes through the earth of the star and all this. And he goes through this entire thing. And I thought, I thought for sure he was, cause the way he was talking about everything else and he was kind of dancing

around it. And though I thought he was going to be able to figure out a way to say, and Jimmy is definitely now in consideration. Instead, he basically said like he's going in. then, even at the very end of it, because they were trying to get to this point for like eight minutes, it felt like, or maybe seven. I don't know the exact.

It felt like forever. But they were trying to get to what happened in the last 30 seconds when they were running out of time. Jerry said, we, the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones are uh thankful and whatever he gave an apology and a thank you to Jimmy Johnson and it was almost like a uh everybody on set was like okay fine Jesus Christ that's what we were okay and then Troy a couple times in between the entire time of trying to get them to that moment basically Troy was like, they asked him about his thoughts on something else. And he goes,

uh, I don't really know anything about that, but I want to let you know. And he basically pointed at Jimmy and Jerry and he was like, uh, Jerry would have never been the owner that he was without Jimmy. Jimmy, he was,

Troy was basically like, Hey, you, you would have never been anything without him. You, you would have never been everything. So if you guys want to fucking wrap this up, that would be great. It was, and they did, by the way, by the end of it,

and it was like a pretty cool situation. And what immediately followed that, I think, was Mike McCarthy jogging onto the football field. And it was just a beautiful thing. I just, that is what comes with games happening. You know, like those are the situations that were so fun to watch as a football fan last night aside from the terrible football right that is it the player's fault okay is it the coach's fault okay is it that they had five days with probably a walk two walkthroughs

like there is no time to learn football it's all ceremonial and i think all the shit outside payton crushed it it was a cool night, I thought. The interviews in the booth I loved, too. Like when Peyton came on, when John Lynch went on, and Peyton talking about the Monday Night Football with him and Eli just made me even more pumped just to see that happen this year. Omaha Productions is doing a match along. Peyton basically said, I'm going to be on my couch.

Eli's going to be on his couch. And we're just at a bar watching a game. He doesn't want to watch football with her brother and talk about it. So far. When this was presented, he said, it seemed like too good of a – Archie probably – I don't know if he was in the conversation or whatever, but him looking at Peyton and Eli, you guys are going to watch fucking games, aren't you?

I'm going to pay you to watch football. Talk to each other about it just that whole conversation and they'll crush it by the way oh yeah but he John Lynch awesome to chat about

he put over Jimmy G again in his interview big time hey not a bad idea there is a general manager hall of fame player we'll see if he's a hall of fame general manager

as well it seems like he's well on his way out there Jimmy G's playing great football probably pretty good price best you've ever seen best ever somebody should come get him for sure He's well on his way out there. Jimmy G's playing great football. Probably pretty good price. Probably pretty good price. Best you've ever seen him.

Best ever. Yeah. Somebody should come get him for sure. Well, there is. We heard your backup's playing like Patrick Mahomes 2.0. No, no, no, no. I don't know about that. We don't even know if he knows that.

Jimmy G, though. See Jimmy? He's amazing. Get him, though, if you want him. It's good to have a GM in the booth, too, for that type of game, because he knew every single player on the field, too. Yeah, and by the way, John Lynch, after the draft, before the draft, when he went through all the amount of film that they watched,

the amount of trips, it was either the week of, like two days, three days before the draft, maybe, when they still didn't give up who they were drafting, but John Lynch described what the scouting process was, and I appreciate him doing that, because I'm not sure that that gets talked about enough. But in that fourth quarter of a game or third quarter of a game, man. You just don't know anybody.

I don't know anybody. Not a soul. Like, hey, I don't know anybody out there. I mean, there was a couple guys, obviously, that you were like, okay. But I'd flip back and forth. I'd go over there, and I'd watch a couple plays, and I'm like, it's NFL football. I should be watching this. And a couple things happened.

I'm like, I can't. All right, I'm out of here. I can't do it. But it was, I don't know, it was a cool night. It was a cool night. It didn't help that the Steelers put their worst quarterback first. Like, that was an odd move for them. I knew you were going to get that. What do you mean?

Well, I just knew that, and I, by the way. Dewey Haskins and Josh Dobbs both led teams on touchdown drive to the first quarterback. I don't think so. Well, Josh, there might have been different players playing at the time that each one of those quarterbacks was playing. But also their teammates were different whenever they were playing. At that time, what would Dewey look like with Chase Claypool? I mean, who knows, right? There's me just adding to your thing.

Dobbs looked electrifying, though. And I think it's because if you're a mobile quarterback in preseason games and you can move, you win. Because a lot of people have no idea what the fuck they're doing. But guess what? If they don't know what they're doing or what route they're running, they're still running and creating space and everything like that. So I think he played very well. And by the way,

Dewey Haskins can still sling it a little bit. Yeah. It's like it's a dart coming out of there. There was a couple things that he did last night to make you go, okay, Dewey still has a long way to go. Still earning offers. Poor him. Mason didn't have any of the starters at O-line,

except for maybe the center position who's a rookie. But then Dwayne had guys who aren't even probably going to. And they were running blitzes. Yeah. In the Hall of Fame game. Coming at him. I was so amazed by that. I'm like, okay.

And this is something I think it's almost like a gentleman's agreement or whatever, but special teams, very easy to know what's coming in these preseason games. The coaches, I think, even talk beforehand. Like, hey, this is what we're going to do. This is what we're going to do. Hall of Fame game, it was six bucks, okay, doubled each gunner, and that was just snap, hold, run. This is what we're doing. You know, like it was just very, very basic.ner and that was just snap hold run this is what we're

doing you know like it was just very very basic i think there's an agreement there when i saw that rush against duane haskins i was like oh we're running blitzes in hall of fame okay this is awesome this is pretty cool because there's i mean they're five days in the training you know what i mean five days wild is do you want to lose anybody or do anything at this point? And maybe that guy just called his own player or whatever. I don't know if they continue to do it, which I respect a lot. But it was pretty fascinating to see what was being run, what wasn't being run, who was doing okay.

I thought Dewey didn't look bad, though. But you guys, I don't know if you found your backup quarterback or the quarterback of the future. And maybe that's why Art Rooney II said, hey, Ben's not – it's not in Stony. He's not playing another four or five years. I mean – Maybe that's why he said that. Here's just a general overall NFL question for you.

So, like, Haskins and Rudolph are more talented than Dobbs, but Dobbs is also – he, like, works for NASA. He's an astrophysicist. So, like, if you could have him maybe in the quarterback room, like in the quarterback room as a guy helping Ben study tape and stuff like that, I kind of like that in there. Yeah. And I think if we could get an astronaut in here, we would. Sure.

You know what I mean? So if you're a football team. We do have men. I mean, we're pretty close. No, I'm talking certified. Okay. NASA. Okay.

I'm talking about a doctor of NASA. Okay. A real one. I'm talking about a doctor of NASA. Okay, a real one. I'm talking about a doctor of space. Yes. All right, I'm not talking about a guy who takes off far too high and stays for far too long. That's right. And doesn't return to Earth until all the oxygen is potentially gone.

Yeah. From his brain and all the cells have disappeared. Yeah, that's the difference between an astronaut. Oh, there it is. And a doctor of space astronaut, which i think is what he's referring to sure josh dobbs yeah that'd be fun i mean shit i'll start learning uh some space and we'll try and get after a little bit i mean i've watched a lot of documentaries okay yeah that's not a doctor of space you could potentially be an astronaut okay one of those okay two s's

if we can find an actual astronaut though we should think about getting them around yeah to your point yeah you want to have an astronaut around if you can have an astronaut because people actually go what are you a fucking astronaut yeah yeah yeah i am that is an astronaut right there rocket builder fixer i'm pretty sure it's all about telemetry if we could just you know i mean you just get someone to study telemetry and that's basically all you need what is telemetry what it's like teleporting right need. What is telemetry? What? It's like teleporting, right? Yeah, that's a great question out of you, Dump. It's definitely not that.

What is it? Not teleporting. Telekinesis? No, it's like a path. The path in which you get to, you know. Oh, like a bell curve? It's like their bearings almost. Like, okay, what's the telemetry?

Let me set this to, you know. And then they're doing that in the rocket before they take off. And it's like, okay, we've got to hit this angle because then we're going to, you know, slingshot around the moon, send us to the International Space Station. That's basically how you fly a rocket, right? In a nutshell. It feels like we already have the guy here. In a nutshell. I'm pretty sure that's what it takes.

So I'll look into it a little bit more. I'll get a couple books on telemetry. You are the guy that we have around that we can say, we had a guy who got accepted to Harvard. True. Boom. It would be cool if,

hey, I've got a fucking astronaut here too. Yeah, that would be... I'll look into it. The only issue is... He also. Yeah. Yeah. I have to pull him down.

How high will you be the first time you head to space? Oh. Well, you actually have to pull him down. How high will you be the first time you head to space? Well, you actually have to stay sober when you're calculating your telemetry. I don't want to end up in a fucking different solar system or something. I kind of just want to be like the 95-year-old that was with Bezos. Just floating around. So I looked it up. We potentially might have been off a little bit on the telemetry,

which is not good for space travel. Telemetry is the data that travels from a spacecraft to earth it can give information about the ship's position and heading exactly we were on the right so it's all about telemetry so you'll be the town crier of the spaceship when you write the tele telemetry to send a message back down to houston so who's calling the slingshot then? Not him. He is not. Houston is. Yeah, Houston's normally good. But it's not him, though. They will call him, though, I think, to tell him to tell everybody.

Set your telemetry as follows. We're doing the slingshot. So that's what it is. It's a conversation from space to Houston. It's basically telling them the position and heading that they're going, which we had talked about. Yeah. But if you ever get to do that with your telemetry, I'd like to be the inconvenient person that paid to be there floating around.

You'd be strapped in right next to me. That'd be awesome. You got it. That'd be so cool. Thanks for all your hard work. Hey, you bet. Good work. I can't believe we're going to space.

I know. It's going to be awesome. Thanks, Todd. Here we go. Thanks, Todd. Oh, yeah. That's an Azure on. Let's go!

I didn't get to watch the video or hear the video, but I saw clips of it. The flight attendant that rapped that guy. Oh, yeah. I saw that. What a stud. What was his name? He was training today. His name was... He was training this morning because he got caught up with the news

and retold the story. He's one of the best storytellers In the history of earth Really He was trending this morning When I woke up 6am No big deal

Was going to go golf Fell back asleep Saw this guy trending Didn't watch the video Or hear the video Because it was too early So I kind of missed out on it But that's what you guys

Are going to have to do When I'm floating around in space Alright You got it Yeah you're going to have to Tape me down Yeah because I'm Going to want to swim around

Of course Let's go to Olympic Talk. Hell yeah. By the way, when that happens, when you text the group at 6 a.m., I go, oh fuck, I've got to get up and get in the shower. Don't worry about it. I'll give you a heads up on what's the plan.

I didn't fall back asleep, but I was not doing anything. So I apologize. That's on me. The World Games this morning, though, I did get to watch because of what we are talking about right now. Gable, Dan, Steve, hey. Hey, 275 pounds they're saying this, dude. He does round-off backflips.

Floating backflips, by the way. Like, absolute dead body, body straight body have to be so explosive to get up that high he won the gold medal today in his first olympics in a buzzer beater takedown with 6.5 seconds left in the match the guy from georgia who was massive and large who had a lead gave up a quick two points whenever he was up four with like 20 seconds left. And then at 6.5 seconds, they reset this thing. Gable, Dan, Steven had six and a half seconds to get a takedown to win this thing. And literally, he dances around this guy for five and a half seconds, takes him down with a half a second.

You see the ref put up the two points and all of a sudden it's Olympic gold medalist. Sorry about it, pal. Get the fuck out of here. We got a guy. We got the guy. This guy is a heavyweight superstar. I guess he loves WWE as well.

I assume he's going to come in and absolutely slaughter it. He has a picture with Paul Heyman. If he wants to, will he get into the UFC? He's explosive, fast, seems to be dancing and do-si-do-ing on these other people that are the best in the world. And he's electrifying. I loved watching that. I actually sat up in the bell, let's go!

I didn't know what happened. I didn't know exactly how or why he won, but I did see the hand go up, and I saw him start celebrating. I was like, I thought we lost. And then it was almost like that Taekwondo situation where points were just getting added in there. But fucking A, let's go, Gable. He was awesome.

I may have been a little premature saying that I was done with the World Games because, yeah, this was fucking awesome. I mean, this was incredible. And then we also just had the Canada and Sweden women's game. The Olympics still have juice. That was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. For him to – because it really was. When the two went up, I think there were like two-tenths of a second left.

I don't know how that works, like if the ref delays a little bit and doesn't get it up in time, if it doesn't count. I feel like you don't see that in wrestling hardly ever. Okay, you went to Iowa, so I think you are around the wrestling i went to like a lot of wrestling you know iowa wrestling meets in college you know he's a minnesota guy people actually do that right that is something that happens like in iowa you go to the wrestling oh yeah like sellout like 18 20 000 people in there okay so you probably know more about the culture than any of us do right i mean i'm from the town with kurt angle right hell yeah you know what i mean but i ain't never got in there and did anything yeah i mean i didn't wrestle i played

basketball instead but like you know i mean is that a that that doesn't happen often i don't think what just happened or does it i have no idea i've been in the women's side this morning to someone on the u.s they were going to gold, but then I believe it was a wrestler from China who did basically the same thing and got her back and won it. With like a half a second? Yes. So this is something that happens on the road. You do see it because I do remember watching the state tournament.

There is strategy where if you're down four, you shoot for a takedown, you let the guy up, and then you have to shoot for another takedown quick. So that stuff, that does happen, but I don't know if I've seen a guy, you know, like, basically get around and then get side control and back control like that with, you know, a tenth of a second left to win. And I think old Gable Dan Steveson, I think he was pitching a shutout all the way through. I think.

I'm not sure. He dominated. He won 8-7, right? That was the final? Yeah. But he dominated every single before that he dominated

he tech falled one guy 10 run him in 2 minutes I don't think that's very common in the Olympics I saw Dake he did it I don't know if he won the bronze he had to wrestle somebody to compete for the bronze and he ragdolled

he 10 runned him. Yeah. Just so quickly. But everybody's saying it was a letdown because he's 30 years old, and this is his first Olympics. He's been a world champion multiple times. I don't know why he hasn't been in there, and he wasn't wrestling for gold or whatever,

but it looked like he was ragdolling this guy. I mean, it is. Wrestling's one of those where you don't play. Like, you can go get got in there. Oh, yeah. Like, you can go get got in there oh yeah like you can go get gotten there big yeah and that georgia wrestler who's wrestling for a gold medal in the olympics let's assume pretty good when he was trying to reach for gable at the end it looked like an old movie that looked like a joke almost he swam around did you see his family in uh minnesota go crazy with his teammates and

everything like that watching his dad watch right because there's six and a half seconds left it didn't seem like the dad had any doubt almost right in the video mom loses her shit i think the rest everybody goes crazy i i almost got up out of bed i couldn't even imagine what the family feels like we got a world champ though yeah. That was incredible. And like you said, who knows UFC, WWE, he's got a lot of options. He could probably just do a show, too. Sounds like he is electric.

Speaking of electric, there was once a show we listened to on a regular basis and then it got canceled. Fuck! What's that all about? Bullshit! It doesn't make sense. The show is called Rap Sheet and Friends. And we haven't heard Rap Sheet talk to his friends in some time. Months.

The original theory was, conspiracy was, hey, maybe Rap Sheet doesn't have any more friends. That was a thought. rap sheet doesn't have any more friends. That was a thought. So that's why rap sheet, hey, friends, if I'm speaking in French, if you don't have the end friends anywhere,

then it's just rap sheet. Don't really have them. So maybe it's a rebrand. Yeah. Turns out that was not the case. Still has a lot of friends. He was just told that he doesn't have to do the show anymore, so he stopped doing it,

which we are bummed about, as are the millions and millions of people that used to listen to Rap Sheet and Friends, but you can hear and see this man on the NFL Network and on NFL.com. Ladies and gentlemen, insider

Ian Rappaport. What's up? We did think there was that going around that maybe Rap Sheet didn't have Anne friends anymore. So that's why they had to end the show. You said you were just told not to anymore. That's good news.

We're pretty proud of you, actually. Yeah, I mean, I would say the reason I named the show that was just so people would know that I had friends. Like, just, you know, all they do is see me in this little box every day. So just want to emphasize that, like, I have friends. But now that the show is on hiatus, I would say a pause. Maybe people don to emphasize that I have friends. But now that the show's on hiatus, I would say a pause. Maybe people don't know that I have friends now. Oh, okay. Well, you're right. You're a friend of our show,

I think. Yeah, friend of our show. Yeah, it's pretty good. I like it. Yeah. That's for my resume. I'm just reeling. You have to excuse me. I'm reeling over here. I just got yelled at by Mike Brable during Titans practice. Did he have a dip in? Did he spit on you? Did he have a dip in? Did he give you one of those?

It was from very far away. So I don't know. It was just about as loud as you can imagine. Someone screaming at someone during practice. That was a good time. What did you do? What did you do? I believe it appeared like I was talking to Taylor Luan as I was walking by because he is a

rehabbing player and rehabbing players are not allowed to talk to the media. I really was not talking to him, but Vrabel must have thought that. Oh! What did Vrabel say? What did Vrabel say? This is awesome. Vrabel is getting ready for practice, looks over, looks at rap sheet

in his bright red shirt by the way and he's like this and he and Taylor already have a great relationship I bet this was a hilarious dissection of you and Taylor I mean he was definitely watching me for a little bit and then I tried to walk away a couple times and then I just didn't and then at some point he was like I'm gonna make sure that you walk away very very fast then he got back to running up but it's been a pretty good Titans play well hey by the way I think Vrabel um every one of his former teammates are like hey that's a guy who uh if you need somebody ever for basically anything that's the guy you call. So I'm happy you're on his bad side.

I think I'm on his good side. I'm not 100% sure I could be on the bad side with you because you're on my show now talking about the incident. But let's move along. You're down there in Tennessee. Julio Jones, is he everything that we all thought he was going to be? Is he dominant down there? How's Tannehill and he getting along?

Yeah, when Julio's been on the field, he's been exactly what they thought. He hasn't been on the field much, and as you know, as you get kind of older and older and more and more veteran, the amount of practice time you get sometimes can be less and less. So, Julio is... Ian. Yes. Those are called G

days, by the way, and if you bring those up, you might look like an incredibly cool dude all of a sudden. G days? Is that because you're an OG you bring those up, you might look like an incredibly cool dude all of a sudden. Is that because you're an OG? Yeah, so it's like a G day. He's taking a couple G days. But it doesn't matter because he didn't practice a ton with the Falcons last year either. He's going to be

Julio Jones and apparently in meetings he's really dialed in. He's worked a ton with Tannehill just on what he likes, what the quarterback likes, how they can kind of work together. They're going to manage him all year. So there's going to be, I would imagine, Wednesdays, but we'll see when it's going to be up. Julio's not practicing again.

I don't get the sense anybody cares that much. He's on the field on Sundays. He's going to be Julio Jones, and that's what they traded him for, not for practice time. Are they having a whistle off? I do hear a lot of whistles. I'm over here talking to you guys so I don't know what's going on, but I imagine

maybe someone else was talking to Taylor LeJuan and everyone's pissed. That could be the case. We're talking to Ian Rapport, host of Rap Sheet and Friends, which is currently on hiatus. Ian, let's run around to another quarterback or another team. Lamar Jackson has missed eight days with COVID, and I guess the original report was this is his second time getting COVID

since he got it on Thanksgiving as well. And now that COVID and vaccinations are becoming a heightened issue I think and it's only going to grow by the way this is only going to grow I think as we roll nearer and nearer to season and potential fines being levied how's that situation going and what are the Ravens saying about it I assume this isn't exactly a good time in the Baltimore Ravens facility? No. I mean, I was there a couple days ago, and I think I was there the day after he tested positive. And obviously, Lamar, based on the timeline, he's been out 10 days unvaccinated.

I don't think anyone's thrilled. You know, when a quarterback is unvaccinated, and we dealt with this with Kirk Cousins, it doesn't make anyone happy because, you know, it's hard enough to keep these dudes healthy. You know that. Like, quarterback's out. That's a significant thing. If a quarterback is unvaccinated, it's because you know it's hard enough to keep these dudes healthy you know that like quarterbacks out that's a significant thing if a quarterback is unvaccinated it's you know there's a risk now for lamar jackson because he tested positive 90 days now he's treated as

someone who essentially has the vaccine just because he has the antibodies with getting it but still it's it's not what you want and he was eligible to come back to practice today but you have to continue to test negative a couple times and the raven said today he's going to continue taking tests so he's obviously not there yet it's it's not what anybody wants he said a lot there but the one thing that really stuck out to me was the 90 day thing is that because he becomes an immunocom because he got covid and yes yes Yes, that's right. So basically I think you still test or no, I think you still, if you're on vaccine, I think you still have to wear a mask, but you basically are out of testing because you essentially got the vaccine, I guess the

old fashioned way. So for 90 days, you're basically good. Okay. The old fashioned way. Hilarious. Okay. Ian, I like that you're making vaccination and science jokes. Good for you, if that is. Yeah. Is that something that they fear is potentially going to backfire? Or when did that get implemented? Was that always in the protocols? Yeah, that was in the protocols last year.

So, you know, there was daily testing. But if a player had tested positive, he was out of daily testing. Because basically, like, I guess science has figured out you can't get it within 90 days of having already got it. So, you know, you have to deal with COVID, which for some people is nothing, for some people is just terrible. You know, the fact that Lamar is not back yet,

maybe he has symptoms, we don't know. We hope he survives, yeah. But, you know, it does give you the 90 days after at least. How come none of you guys ever wish for his survival whenever you break this news? I try to keep my personal feelings out of the breaking news.

Now, sometimes when it's a horrific enough injury, you say something like how bad it is. You feel bad for the guy. Is any injury in the history shut down the entire world? Wait, say that again? Well, you said you feel bad for guys when they get devastating injuries, and you'll say that or whatever. But for COVID, you guys announced somebody gets COVID,

and there's never like a hope he survives. You know, what's that all about? No, I do not say I hope he survives. I do hope he doesn't get that sick. I will say this. As a blanket policy, I do not love faux sympathy on Twitter. It's not my, just like I'm not a big happy birthday guy. I'm not a big faux sympathy guy.

So I try to keep my, I will sometimes give private sympathy. Like, let's say I found out you were sick. I would not tweet, oh, get well at Pat McAfee show. Like, hope you're hanging in there, brother. I would probably just text you. That would be my method. Okay, well, I'd respect that.

But I mean, I think with these players, potentially, forget it. We'll continue to be the ones that hope for everybody's survival because you guys don't even care maybe a little more faux sympathy we'd have more friends for the podcast yeah how about that hey even if they're faux friends pal you gotta do what you gotta do let's um let's move around last night success in the nfl is that how everybody felt was there any cool stories from behind the scenes did Did any Hall of Famers hate each other? That Jerry

and Jimmy Johnson moment was obviously a very beautiful one. That was cool. I liked that moment. Seeing their relationship come together and kind of get back in the same page is nice. He's going to go in the Ring of Honor. Very cool. It also makes you think how unbelievably mind-numbing it is

that they broke up. How is that possible that they ruined what would have been just an probably an incredible run but i thought that moment was cool uh you know it's tough to know what you're seeing football wise but didn't seem like duane haskins had a very good game you know i know he's like sort of a reclamation project a little bit for the steelers and you know their coaches really think they can get it turned around. It looked okay, but I would not say great. And nobody got injured.

Chase Claypool fell on the ball. Everybody held their breath. He's fine. I feel like that's sort of the only thing that matters during these Hall of Fame games or preseason games anyway. Hey, man, amen ty go ahead rap sheet this last week there were a lot of rumors that the eagles might be like very actively going after deshaun watson right now and then dr florio kind of refuted that have you heard anything about that like he's still at the texans camp just kind of hanging around doing whatever like is is there a chance that he's actually going to get traded before the season i would say there is a chance.

Is it likely? I don't know. Now, here's where the situation is. He's not practicing again today. You know, I would not be surprised, based on what I know, if he doesn't practice again. Like, honestly, like, what are we doing? Why have him out there?

You know, like, what's the – you don't need a sideshow. And I know, you know, Nick Casario, the general manager for the Texans, kind of the way he deals with things, you don't need a sideshow. And I know Nick Casario, the general manager for the Texans, kind of the way he deals with things, he does not really like added publicity for added publicity's sake. I think he'd much rather be under the radar. So I don't know if you'll see Watson out there. The Eagles stuff, I mean, I know they're a team that would potentially be interested.

I haven't gotten a sense anything is heated up at all dialogue-wise between the Eagles and Texans. I know teams have been calling. I believe Casario has answered the phone and had some dialogue. I don't get the sense that anything is close or imminent or hot there at all. I mean, it seems like much more of a slow play. So when I see stuff like, you know, Eagles and Deshaun Watson heating up, you know, I knew pretty quickly that that was not what was happening for a lot of reasons. You're so cool, dude.

How's that feel? To see stuff like that and then us, whenever we see it, we're like, foe, awesome, dude. You know what I mean? We are so happy about it and then you really are like, nah, I don't think that's the case at all. That has to be a lot of pressure, you know, heavy as the head. I mean, I know you're slightly joking, but that part of it is one of the most annoying

and most ridiculous parts of my job. I will never forget waking up, getting woken up by our news desk at like one in the morning when, do you remember when one of Jimmy Garoppolo's friends or something posted on his Instagram his instagram like it's been a good run new england do you guys remember this yeah and we thought he was getting traded and i had to call everyone at four in the morning to see if he was getting traded to the browns like this one i kind of knew that one i did not know and having to wake up everyone at four in the morning to see if jim Jimmy Garoppolo really in fact got traded and there's fun parts of this job but I cannot say that that night was one of them all right so quick follow-up there whenever J.J. Watt was trolling everybody were you just awake at all times for that like waiting for a post trying to pick apart what shirt he was wearing and then

him sending the mail for the merch to a friend of a friend's house to get to his house i mean he tried to keep that under wraps what were you trying to just blues clues that thing yeah uh that whole thing was annoying and i knew that jake was not a huge fan of the fact that i broke that he was you know i think he planned to announce his own release separation from the texans and then i broke it so i knew that he was going to do everything he possibly could to break his own news where he was going. So of course I was trying to.

So of course, oh boy. So of course I was trying to. Is that Vrabes? No, that was William McGinnis. We were supposed to get him after practice. I'm not so sure we're getting him now, but anyway. Oh, because of you? I mean. You pissed off Vrab them now. Oh, because of you? I mean... You pissed off Vrabes and

Willie McGinnis, dude? Oh my god! Moment of silence, please, for Ian Rappaport. Moments lost here You're a dead man Not good Yeah Hey this is a great interview though

How you doing today And there's 31 other teams Don't you worry about it Hey Hey Don't worry about it You'll be alright right out there. Go ahead.

Hey, Rap, actually, I think the big story last night, like, what's going on with Dak? Like, there's starting to be some rumors that, like, the Cowboys might be lying to us about how serious his shoulder is. Yeah, I don't think they're lying, but I do think that there's no need to rush anything. So that's what, you know, I think when an injury happens, initially they're like, a couple days, a couple days should be fine.

I think with this one they were kind of like, hang on. This is our quarterback. We'd like him to play in a preseason game, maybe just one. So why are we rushing anything? You know, I think that's more what this is. It's a muscle. It's not like a ligament. It's not a tendon.

It's really just a muscle pull. And the fact that Dak acted so quickly and was like, hey, guys, something is wrong, probably saved him from major injury. So I think he's going to be fine. I think he's going to play week one. He's probably going to play in a preseason game. I just don't think there's any point in kind of rushing anything.

I think he was clapping pretty hard last night. So, I mean,, when I saw him clap, I was like, when did he record the clap? Because that is a pretty pre-injury pre-injury clapping. Which, by the way, maybe Jerry planned for that. I know he was not planning on putting Jimmy in that ring of honor, though,

last night. He was placed into Jimmy's friend's house, basically. I mean, that was a moment. I don't know. He handled it beautifully. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, rap sheet. Walt Anderson is replacing Burt River on up in the officiating thing.

Is anything going to change, or is this still going to be a dog shit process? I hope it is a really good, clear process. I mean, the main thing to me, like, you know, they make the decisions. They do the reviews. It is what it is. What I sort of want as, you know, someone who. I mean, the main thing to me, like, you know, they make the decisions, they do the reviews, it is what it is. What I sort of want as, you know, someone who does this job, but also a football fan, I want a quick explanation.

That's kind of what I hope we get out of it, and you know, they've had different people doing it for a while, Al Riveron did it, then some other people have chimed in, like, I just want to know why the rule was what it was, and why they made the call they did so i hope that the communication not just to the teams and the game but to the public increases and you know

guys like walt anderson have been explaining stuff to the public for years so that's that should help yeah he has been he's been doing a fantastic job for decades honestly the the thing that i took away from last night's game also about this entire process that kind of made me feel better about it, and maybe you'll have more information on this than I will because literally I was introduced to it last night. They said there will be somebody there on premise in the ear of the ref to potentially expedite a easy call that they could change quickly or somebody steps out of bounds or something like that. They can say, hey, ball's on 27 and they can just do that.

That's massive. That's huge. That's the biggest news. They should have led with that as opposed to the Walt Anderson stuff. If we're going to be able to fix those little things quickly without coaches having to waste their challenges, that's massive, right? How come we're not talking about that more? Yeah, actually, I was in Atlanta yesterday talking to a bunch of people,

but Rich McKay, the chairman of the competition committee, and that was kind of his emphasis is how much faster and cleaner it's going to be. Like having someone there, having the, you know, the quick, easy ones where you don't have to spend two minutes like to figure out like, oh, the guy clearly stepped on the sideline or not. Like I do think that's going to be an emphasis. And so much of this now is just, you know, obviously it's making sure it's right, but just increasing the speed at which they decide things. Like, you know, I'm not a big tennis guy. I'm sure you are, but I'm really not. As quick as they do replays, like football should be able to do that. You know, like I think that's what they're trying to do is get to a point

where they can do everything quickly. Well, they brought in that Hawkeye system, which is every angle being able to be watched at the same time for the person making the call, as opposed to TV producers controlling that, which I don't want to get angry about everything that I've watched in games that I've been a part of and who was potentially in charge of overturning maybe a call I hated or anything like that. But we're just going to think ahead that it's better now. maybe a call I hated or anything like that. But we're just going to think ahead that it's better now.

It's better now. We don't need to dive back. It is much better now. Ian, good luck over there. We appreciate you for joining us. Sounds like you're in some shit. I mean, it sounds like it. We'll find out. Going to be an awkward rest of the day,

but this is my life. I'll see you guys later. I think you just go in there with a real firm handshake and you say listen, I apologize Vrabes. Or maybe get that guy that just walked in behind you to maybe get the introduction there because it seems like he's probably on a good basis with Vrabes is an intimidating guy. Willie McGinnis too.

He is one of the largest humans I've ever seen in real life. He has the entire hourglass shape or whatever. Alrighty, good luck out there. Good luck. The entire hourglass shape or whatever. Stacked up. All right, Ian. Good luck out there. Do that. Ian Rapport.

The thought of rapes. Just standing there. Maybe even with his boxing gloves on. Massive. Massive. Oh, yeah. Just standing over there. Probably forced to let NFL Network in.

Because the NFL Network is a part of that. So it might not even be a part of when the media is out there normally, like the local media or whatever. Probably might be forced to have Ian in there because he's with NFL Network. William McGinnis, old friend. Okay, we're close. We're coming through. Any way we can do that.

Yeah, only rule is you can't talk to any of the injured players, especially that fucking guy right there. I can't talk to any of the injured players. Oh, no problem. Do whatever Rappaport, the inside. Can't talk to any of the injured players. Oh, no problem. Do whatever you want to do. Walk around the field. Do what you got to do. Fucking French is sitting there.

He's not doing it. Get the fuck off the field. Imagine he said he yelled across the field. And then he went up close and was yelling louder than anybody. He said anybody's been yelled at. That means the entire team. What's that? Oh, no.

I got an update. You guys hear me? Yeah. I just want to let you know that the guys were messing with me. Interview is not off. Wow. Hey, let's hope you get a good Vrabes in there, too. is not off. Wow! Hey, let's hope you get a good Vrabes in there, too.

Maybe Vrabes will take off on either. All right, where can we watch this interview at? Is that on NFL Now? I would say on NFL Network in about 20 minutes. All right, cool. We'll check the awkwardness, man. Good workouts. Way to be a professional.

Way to go, guys. Cheers! Tell Willie I ain't doing that. You can see Braybel just picking him up by the collar and just tossing him out of the training camp. I saw Bray this morning. He couldn't help himself. Bud Dupree, first day back at practice. He had his hands all over Bud. They were going at each other. Hey, you're back, huh? Let's go.

Everybody's giving MCDC a lot of attention because he's wearing uh indycar helmets to press conferences and that shirt is available now at store.patmagnificiashow.com it is one of foxy's favorites i think i've never seen a kid light up like it's christmas morning that whenever that shirt how can you not? Look at this thing. That's my head coach. For now. That is your head coach. But MCDC, non-kneecaps and everything, he's wearing helmets, everything like that.

I don't think anybody talks about, you know, and he's been very successful, and it's kind of gone on the radar because I think he doesn't give a fuck at all about any of it. Vrabel is one of those, like, hey, culture. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Big big time he's in there and I asked and who knows what Taylor Luan in his relationship is those are two you know big dogs in the history of the NFL I think they're obviously but the way they talk about is like Vrabel is in the locker room but he's like the guy in the locker room who has to make the decision like he is the

guy in there and he gets along with everybody but Vrabes is not given enough credit for his coaching run thus far, his style in which he does it, and also the fact that he would beat the fuck out of every other coach in the NFL if they had to get into a fight. Yeah. I mean, we've had, you know, AJ, I think, has, you know, like worked out with him at like Ohio State related stuff. And he said like he could still play now probably.

Now, I don't know if this is a true story or not okay so i don't want that to be taken as such this is just like kind of the folklore of rabes i heard dude can smoke an entire pack of cigarettes while going through an entire cardio conditioning oh man in the nfl that's right that's unbelievable jesus christ himself yeah i himself. I've heard this. I've heard. Now, I don't know if it's true. I've never, I don't think Frabes and I

have ever met each other in person. We do know each other via the internet or whatever and through mutual people that know each other. I don't know him closely. I've heard that guy can go ahead and slam

whatever he wants until about 3, 4 a.m. And then if there's a 4.30 workout, guess who's winning the sprints? Guess who's lifting more weights, and guess who's doing that. I've heard Vrabes is like the man's man. I've heard Vrabes is the man's man.

And then you watch these coaching videos, and it's like, that's probably the case. And that's the type of guy that could lead a group of men to a promised land. Just like MCDC has, I'm not saying they're the same way, but just like MCDC has his has i'm not saying they're the same way but just like mcdc has his way and his vision of motivating people there is always any different style of coaching that works is cool but there's a lot that don't i think braves is working we're gonna find out if mcdc does uh but i'm excited to kind of the future of coaching and how there's so many listen to staley

whenever staley came on show it was almost like he's just like, Pat, you know, I like to do this. He's in the locker, like in the quarterback room. He's one of the quarterbacks of the team, but he's also the head coach. I think there's going to be an evolution on how people coach. I think the MCDC thing, although it is abnormal, I'm sure there will be more in that vein of like, hey, this is what I am. I'm going to have a good time out here. Well, and they kind of just generally stop talking.

With Braves, they're good, right? So it's like, okay, you don't need to, like, look into it too much. Like, if MCDC goes out there and they suck, then people will be like, hey, you know, like, he's a meathead, he's a clown. But people don't do that with Vrabel because they're all, like, he's good. He's proved that, like, hey, I can do shit my way and we'll still win. Now that the world's opening back up, so many new thrills are on the horizon okay and whether you've been in a relationship for years or just getting started we're excited to get back out there and meet new people oh yeah when the moment comes let's not come too quick. Oh, here we go.

I get it. That is not what they had in their copy. Okay. They should. That was, I think they're going in a different direction. So let's go back a sentence or two. Okay. Okay.

Have to hit it once again. Congrats to the Steelers undefeated.

What you saw out of Matt Canada's offense, tone digs, a lot of jet sweeps, a lot of movement, a lot of action. Dan Orlovsky said on this show that if you're an offensive play caller that isn't utilizing every single inch of space that the field has to offer, you are doing your team a disservice. With the way offenses are now and with the way there is a schematically space creation makers, basically, with how the rules are and with RPOs and the speed and what defense can do and what defense can't do.

It is insane right now. It looks like you guys are about to speed up. Things are about to get real fast in Pittsburgh. That's got to feel pretty good as a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan who saw them go 11-0 last year, then run the same exact plays for the rest of the season, and everybody knew what it was, and not be able to do anything. The change will be good, right?

Yeah, it's going to be much better. As you know, we've had potentially the worst offensive coordinator of the league, Randy Marsh, for the last few years. There was some competition, my friend. Randy Marsh might actually be better. No, there was not. I promise you that. But that Jan Gailey, is that what you said, Nick?

No, Dixon Randy Marsh, who is the dad from South Park. Randy Fichtner was his actual name. Oh, I see what you're doing. During his time, Steelers ran play action 12% of the time, which is by far the lowest in the NFL. During camp, from the reports that I'm seeing, they're up over 25% of the time. So we'll get a little play action. They did a of motion a lot of movement last night they were just like the years past they were just saying hey Ben guess what the defense is doing because we're not going

to move anybody on our side to give you an idea but then Ben would also be telling the defense what they're going to do right and that's something that came out oh yeah corner came out and said Ben Roethlisberger was actually telling me wide receivers, hook, run a button, hook, seven, seven, run a seven. And the corner had to act as if he could not hear what Ben was saying. And the first time, I guess he probably tested it. It was like, oh, shit. And then he goes to the sideline. Everybody play it cool.

Everybody play it cool. But Ben will tell the wide receiver what Roethlisberger did. It was backyard football. It was backyard football for a long, long time, and Ben loved throwing. That's why everybody was like, Ben's a quarterback. Ben's going to want to throw the ball. Ben's the one running the offense. I think last night we saw that even if Ben wants to run the offense,

there's going to be a lot of shit already in the plays that are vastly different, and I'll be excited to see Ben have to pre-snap, post-snap, and do that entire thing like a lot of other quarterbacks have done for a long time. My optimism is it can't get any worse. It's not going to get worse than what it was the last few years. And it wasn't that bad. Last year at the end of the season was bad.

He was hurt the year before that, and it was very bad for the offense. But the year before that, he led the league in passing. So it'll be fun to see what Ben does. We'll talk to – Ben has been very successful. He'll be a Hall of Famer. it'll be fun to see what Ben does. We'll talk to – Ben has been very successful. He'll be a Hall of Famer.

I mean, there is – he's just always had things around him that make you go, okay. What the hell is going on? He's gotten rid of those, though. He has, allegedly, completely. He was cracking jokes last night. He was having a great time on the side. Yeah, he was there. I saw him laughing.

He was watching the game, too. Whenever he was getting interviewed, he kept turning away from the mic because he wanted to watch the boys play. And that's a good teammate, Ben Rawlings. That's right. Second year after Tommy Yawn, always your best, my friend. In baseball world. Yes, sir.

Just in general. He was saying that last night, too. He said, I thought I was good until I saw what I was this year, and I realized, oh, I'm much, much better. Everything that happened around the game last night, like, for instance, the plays themselves. Not the players. The plays themselves.

It was like, oh, shit. Okay, that's a little bit different there. I think you're going to have to get, like, those plays work with a 4-2, 4-1. You guys got Chase running. What's Chase? Chase 4-3? Chase is a 4-3. He's a big body 4-3.

Deontay's quick. That's probably who it'll be most of those guys. The Mason Rudolph fumble-lie-a-fumble-ro. Deontay's quick. That's probably who it'll be most of those guys. The Mason Rudolph fumble-layer fumble-rooski on the big sweep. ESPN already put Michael Parsons into the Hall of Fame because he fell on the fumble of that play. I mean, he's already making

a difference on that defense. Bruh. Fireplay. Yeah. Dude. Unreal. Please relax, okay? He was right there, and it's not easy to recover a fumble. Joe Judge did it in the mud last year. He did. That's right.

And, you know, that kind of set the tone there for the Giants in the way they're going to build that whole thing. But it's not easy. He made a play. He had to be nervous, too. First drive. A lot of pressure. They're saying he's going to be a guy guy.

He gets a fumble recovery first play. Here we go. Some guys just make plays. That's right. That's what some guys do. Mike Parsons is one of them. Let's talk about the Giants because this is fascinating. Joe Looney wasn't

the only one that retired, it turns out. No way. Joe Looney, immediately after the lap fight hundos push-ups thing that happened to

everybody on the team because there was a fight that Danny Dimes ended up in the bottom of it Joe Looney 30 year old been around the NFL a long time says you know what I have a lot of respect for Jason Garrett's why coach sorry I have a lot of respect for coach Jason Garrett that's why I came here but I don't think my body can do it anymore and we took it immediately as okay so he was somebody that got there a couple days before this entire event, and he was looking around wondering why nobody else was saying anything about the push-ups and pads at the end of practice or whatever. So he retires. He says, I'm out of here.

Two more players, I guess, just see you later. We're getting out of there. So Joe Judge is going to run his team how he's going to run his team. And the New York Giants needed an entire culture shift to get back to the once glorified days that they had when Coughlin was winning with Eli Manning in the boys they've had McAdoo they've had an entire situation over there they benched Eli they brought Eli back there's been a lot of situations where the Giants have not been fantastic when they once were so much so that their owner actually came out and said I'm tired of fucking telling people why we stink. I don't want to do it anymore. So they invest in the

offseason. They bring people in. A couple of the older guys realize this isn't for me. They're leaving. But if Joe Judge wins, none of this matters. I can't stress that enough. That as long as Joe Judge gets a culture that wins, none of this, none of this matters. The players have come out and said, like, if you don't want to be here, don't be here. Now that's not always necessarily the case, especially when people's lives and families are, you know, doing things and food on the table and everything. It's not like for some people, but I got the message as, Hey, there's going to be people that either buy in and there's people that don't, that happens everywhere. By the way, there's some people that can't buy into a nonchalant type building. Cause

they don't like that lack of just super disciplined accountability. There's people that can't fit into a lot of places. If Joe Judge wins, none of these retirements matter. If Joe Judge loses, though, all of these things are going to get talked about forever as the Giants continue to make bad decisions, just like what has happened in Detroit Lions organization. If he wins, it's cool. If not, he'll lose everybody and it won't matter.

I'm happy he's at least going in there sticking to his guns, but they're going to have to see results or you're going to see a lot more of that from potentially good players not wanting to be around him. Okay, so that's what I was kind of going to ask. Is this more indicative of just like he runs a tough camp and these guys who are retiring who, like you mentioned, they're older guys, but they're probably like fringe roster guys anyway.

See, tough camp is an interesting way because tough camps can happen in an assortment of ways the sprints push-ups thing right is is very for something that maybe a 35 year old man had nothing to do with and he's right back on his peewee football field where he is doing something and if you listen to anybody who's ever at least i have there's some people i guess that have gone to bat for this because it is a precedent setter or whatever and you're going to get your players in there and if they buy in which nobody told him to go fuck himself whenever he said it if they buy in which is what i got out of that situation you're do whatever you gotta do as long as you win but

there had to have been guys and i think we're very clearly seeing it, who whenever they were told to get down and do push-ups after running hundos after practice or whatever, were like, all right, man, I'm not a fucking 12-year-old. I'm not doing this anymore. But the guys that will stay, hopefully, will win, is what Joe Judge is dreaming about. But that Belichick coaching tree is one way.

It's tough. If you don't have success, it's tough to win over and have way it's tough if you don't have success it's tough to win over and have people buy into something if you don't have success and Joe Judge knows that he's going to have to win early and two offensive linemen retiring is that because like Nate Selder is the elder statesman in that room and they're asking him like hey can you change this but because he does come from the Belichick camp that it's like hey this is how it needs to be I don't think Belichick is making them do push-ups and pads. No.

Okay, so listen, a tough camp. Yeah. I think we cannot – I don't like the narrative being painted that, oh, Joe Judge is running a tough camp. Bruce Arians runs like one of the toughest camps historically. I don't know about this year. They said it has been hot as hell or whatever, but there's a lot of tough camps that happen.

This one is the potential, the culture, the way he's trying to build it with, hey, this type of thing. In his ways, accountability is earned and kind of built through punishment and stuff like that. There's other places that run a tough camp that don't feel it's that way. Bob Sala obviously came out and said, like, you hope accountability is self-governed as opposed to being forced, which is what every culture is trying to build. But once again, none of this matters if Joe Judge wins. None of it at all. But if they lose, we're going to have to talk about it.

What's up, Tom? Well, the thing with them, like, O-line's been their kind of weakness for the last years. And this dude's started every game that he's been healthy since 2014. Like, you'd assume he would have had some impact on the Giants team this year. How about him potentially asking after the entire thing? And we don't know. We don't know.

No. We don't know any of this. But imagine this guy that retired here, every game started since 2014 after the push-ups thing because he's an offensive lineman too, so he's not going to like maybe that's a broad brush, but normally offensive linemen aren't going to be the pushups thing, because he's an offensive lineman too, so he's not going to like, maybe that's a broad brush, but normally offensive linemen aren't going to be the ones to say, hey, fuck you

in the middle of, you know what I mean? Like they are going to buy in. I wonder if there was an afterwards, hey coach, like I understand what you're doing, but next time, can you say like, if you have more than, if you're over the age of blah, blah, blah, you don't have to do pushups, everybody else does, like there is a split sometimes of if you have this many years in a league, you can do this.

If not, you have to do this. Like, that has happened. And Joe, no, everybody does it. Got it. Where are those retirements? Well, he was in Houston the last three years. So he was with Billy O. Stooge, who is a Belichick disciple. So it's like, are you used to this already?

Is it different? Okay, so that's, who is a Belichick disciple. So it's like, are you used to this already? Is it different? So that's, once again, the tough camp thing. The push-ups is, I think, where everybody's like, what are we doing? What are we doing here? That is, and I might be mistaken. I don't speak for everybody ever, but when I heard that, I started

I laughed. I was like, alright, get it going. But I was very impressed that nobody in the moment said, even if it's somebody that shouldn't say something, I'm very impressed that nobody said, no, we're not doing it or whatever. That should bode well. But it does sound like there were some people that were not exactly thrilled, maybe with not just that but everything going on, retiring the next day.

It's a big story. It's a big story right now, especially with what's going on in Las day it's a big story it's a big story right now especially with what's going on in las vegas as well yeah the raiders have had like five people retire in the last two weeks four uh execs uh quit as well or resign i guess what the hell is going on over there that is something that people have been you know kind of pointing their their finger at a little bit they're saying hey something is uh running amok out there in Las Vegas. The Raiders have had three players, Theo Riddick, linebacker James. Onwalu.

What up, Boos? And tackle Sam Young, retired over the last week. Running backs coach Kirby Wilson abruptly retired a few weeks before camp. Team president Mark Bedane abruptly resigned last month. Not sure what that's all about. I think he's CFO and he's EVP or something like that also. What is going on in Las Vegas? The timing of it is interesting.

This is all pretty near training camp. So did something happen? Was there a meeting? Why is everybody bailing out? And are the Raiders going to gonna stay what's going on feels like they might no is gruden also just saying hey look i need to be the team president i need to be the cfo fuck i might play running back this year i need to get some time as well we do forget that there are some situations where that happens where even if you're not having the most amount of

success you start taking on more responsibilities and more jobs. Billy O'Brien was not only the head coach, the general manager, the director of scouting, but he also ran the custodial department. Head of contracts. And head of contract. He was also lead counsel. Game day experience guy. Yeah, he did.

He was the one that actually they have a bunch of flames that come out. Bill O'Brien 3D printed the thing that the, but that's what was happening down there. Right. The torch. Insane. They were not winning. He was picking up more jobs and more jobs and more jobs, probably because maybe there was an ineptitude everywhere or he wanted to go down on his sword or on his shield if

he had to. Maybe that's what's happening with Gruden. Maybe Gruden's there. Mayock's still out there, though. They still got, what, seven years into that 10-year deal? A lot of time. They can go through two more quarterbacks if they want to with that 10-year, hundred-some-million-dollar deal

to get him out of the Monday Night Football booth. I don't know what the Raiders are going to do. I have no idea what they look like going forward. I don't know why all these people are retiring. But I know that Gruden's going to turn over every single stone and try to find some success. That's right. They're only favored in six games all year long, and I think that'll be less by the time we get to the season start. Well, Gumpy's doing a little punditry there on the film he's watched out of the Raiders. The thing about the Raiders is they win games that you never expect them to win, though. Because I think the narrative outside of the Raiders fan base, and I apologize to the Raiders fan base that I potentially upset before whenever I thought Derek Carr was a dead man.

I think the narrative is like, oh, they stink. I think there is a narrative that that is not a good football team. But then you watch them play, and it's like, damn, this team is actually humble. This team is very talented. They're very good. They win games they're not supposed to win. They're in the Chiefs division, which is an absolute nightmare. But still, I don't know why it doesn't ever click over there.

They almost beat the Chiefs twice last year. They beat them in KC, and then they had them on the ropes at home. Yeah, they're over under six and a half wins. See, I would bet the over on that just because the Raiders win so many games and you go, why the hell? What are the Raiders doing? And then you look at a score and they lose. It's like, what happened to the Raiders there?

I just, I don't really understand the Raiders much. All the retirement and turnover behind the scenes. I don't know what that's all about. That can't be good for the entire environment. That's crazy, too, especially considering they have the new stadium now. They didn't get to have fans in it last year. You'd think it would be maybe a good time to be in that like an exciting time to be in that front office or whatever but it seems like their mo every year is like they'll start

six and two or six and three and people will be talking about them and then you check however many weeks later and it's like oh the raiders went eight and eight yeah they just choked down the stretch well and there was a they had this one trip i think they played in london and then they had this incredible it was a very long road and everybody's just saying who cares you know who cares like that is tough when the schedule is difficult your recovery is much different than everybody else's like is there's a chance that that works against you but everybody's got to deal with some sort of shit. I don't know why. That is, if maybe the president or whoever that stepped down, maybe they decided like, all right, the last thing I'm going to do

is I'm going to get the team to Las Vegas, get the stadium done, because that is a massive, massive ordeal. And it said that guy had been an employee since like the early 90s, started as like a driver and then worked his way up. Yeah, so maybe it's not like they're retiring because they don't like what's going on maybe they're like hey i feel like i feel like it's time for a new and maybe we're just judging this in a negative light because it seems like it's all happening very close to an uncomfortable time for it to happen for a football team these are types of

things you'd like to potentially happen way before the the business season actually starts but i mean you got retirements in new y, you got retirements in Vegas, and you got Jerry Jones doing whatever the fuck he wants all the time. Hey, we're going to get a lot of Jerry this weekend, I think. Oh, yeah. The whole year. Hopefully this is a very good indication of what we're going to get from the Cowboys. Yeah, especially with the Hard Knocks coming up.

I am so – did you hear Mike McCarthy? He said, Lombardi's heavier than you think it is. Did you hear Mike McCarthy? He said, Lombardi's heavier than you think it is. It was a Hard Knocks teaser clip. It's him in a team meeting. And he's going, this is what it's about. He said, by the way, it's heavier than you think it is or something like that.

Once you taste it or do it or something, there's nothing else in the world, he said basically. And that's the only reason why we're here. And, and by the way every coach has some iteration of that speech every year because if you're in the NFL aside from just making money to live and survive and have a great life for you and your family because you've dedicated your entire life to a sport basically there is the hey there's gonna be 31 teams at the end of this that are going to be not happy there's 31 teams there's obviously more teams now that they've expanded the playoffs who will maybe have bonus games and bonus checks and get close.

But there's only one team that's going to win. Everybody else fucking stinks. Everybody needs to know that. Every coach that doesn't win is going to go home miserable. Like, that is just how it goes. That's how coaches are. And that whole motivation, inspiration in training camp and those team meetings by the coaches, that's a massive part of the season.

That's kind of setting the course for everything. And I think that's why I enjoy Hard Knocks so much because he's a friend of the show now. But when I saw Hugh doing an interview after he jumped in the Lake Erie upper, and he said, I know I'm going to win here. And as soon as I heard him say that one sentence on hard now i think it was the first scene i know i'm gonna win here i was like all right probably not yeah you know because like coaches are the biggest we yeah right us our

this needs to happen like that is what coaches are now they're obviously there's different ways that coaches do things but when i heard that i thought to myself like oh it's probably going to be difficult for an entire team to listen whenever he's saying stuff like that publicly. And he has a one in 31 record or something like that. It's all about, you know, trying to motivate and find the greatness in everybody. And Joe Thomas said he was motivated by Hugh. And I'm not saying anything like that, but I'm just saying that first couple days of camp that we get to see on Hard Knocks, I think is massive for me in finding out what type of coach the person is. In big fucking mic, being mic'd up all training camp, one year removed from being in his basement.

I mean, let's go. I can't wait to learn about old Pittsburgh Yenzer McCarthy. Yeah, it's going to be must-see TV. No question about it. I think he might be right up there with Rex Ryanx ryan in terms of like you know the best like personalities they've had on there and it was awesome that they were in the hall of fame game last night so i assume on tuesday whenever it premieres we'll get some you know good footage of that as well jerry peacocking around you know i mean it's it's gonna be awesome oh yeah the behind the scenes of jerry and jimmy right that

scene after i would assume that will be on the show on Tuesday. I would guess. Good for Hard Knocks. Hard Knocks is gone. They've had a couple years where it wasn't great, right? Oh, yeah. Last year. Last year wasn't great. I didn't like the two-team thing.

Was that last year? Yeah. I kind of stunk. Well, and with COVID, too, it kind of just. Yeah, we were down at the house. Yeah, the access probably not as good. By the way, we need not judge NBC as hard as we have been for these Olympics things. Why do you say that?

What do you mean? Because as I was watching a game that I thought was potentially live for the gold medal, and it was not. It was actually a previous game for the semifinal. And they had no graphics on the screen at all to tell me what game this fucking was that I was watching. And I was trying to do the math on time. And it could have been a morning game over there, actually, with the time I was watching. Sure. And I was trying to do the math on time and it could have been a morning game over there. Actually with the time I was watching it,

I'm like, how come there isn't a single graphic on the screen to be like, Hey, this is the Olympic semi-final fucking game. It's our basketball team taking on Australia. I guess I could have known better. All right. I understand.

But I happened to just turn it on middle of the game. I actually had to call Connor. I was like, why aren't you watching this fucking game? We're going for goal. That was the semifinal game. I'm like, of course it was. Of course it was.

I hang up the phone, and then I watch for five minutes. I'm like, are they going to say any time in here? Because there wasn't a single graphic on there, not a single mention of it. The only thing that there wasn't was the live thing, which I guess is the only thing. That is the only tell. That's the only tell is that whole thing.

They wouldn't even... There's no graphic... They don't have a graphics department? And then I thought to myself, they probably weren't allowed to bring over as many people as they had once planned because of COVID. So maybe those back-end jobs that none of us know about, the Zitos, the Foxys,

and everything like that, those jobs might have got cut more than other people because they had to save for on-air talent, you think? I don't know because I don't think those people would be on site anyway. They'd be back at NBC's headquarters. No, not that far away. Apparently everything's a lot harder than we think it is. Well, Gumpy, you're right.

I mean, everybody explains how hard everything seems to be. We do it every fucking day. It's just such a massive production. It happens once every four years, so I feel like you can't, like, you have so much time to, like, make sure stuff like that doesn't happen. And that's what's so mind-boggling is it's like, hey, it's not like they have another show in two weeks. It's like, no, no, no, they're off for four years preparing for the next one. So you think my excuse I just made for NBC? Yeah, don't do it.

Yeah, I mean, look. There's no graphic on the screen saying, hey, this is the semifinal game. Like, how is that not even a thought of putting it up there? Sometimes I don't even know. The clock is tough to find on some shows. I mean, it is. Yeah. Just put replay where you put live.

Is that that difficult? That would be pretty simple. I have yet to see an entire fucking handball game. I think it's already over. It's over. It's done. Who won? Who knows?

Had to be the Danes. Denmark. Had to be the Danes. Yeah, the dominant Danes had to have won. They had that guy with the mullet, with the headband. Yeah. He was so good. The way they moved the ball, I saw them throw an alley-oop

like Jackie Moon and Coffee Black. The guy jumped into the thing, grabbed it, caught it outside the crease. Bang. Goal. Jackie Moon's mom created that for Denmark. The gold. What time? 7 a.m.

Who's in it? France versus Denmark. Can we bet on that? Tomorrow, the bronze 7 a.m. Who's in it? Danes and... France versus Denmark. Okay. So we're hammering Denmark. Can we bet on that? I'll find it. Yeah, and then tomorrow the bronze at 3 a.m. We've got Brazil, Spain, finals of soccer tomorrow morning too. Okay, Dump, let's make sure we talk about stuff everybody cares about.

Men's basketball bowl is Campbell tonight. Soccer did not deserve that. Soccer did not deserve that. Have you been watching olympic soccer yeah hey the women's first ever first ever gold medal for canadian women let's go i want we watched it live this morning which was cool i don't think they had a graphic on there by the way i don't i don't think there was a graphic on there what was potentially it which makes i mean why wouldn't you i just don't understand

why you wouldn't utilize the space on your thing to just say hey here's the fucking date all right here's the show here's this going on why is that not happening i mean i think they just assume that everyone has been watching it from the beginning yeah but they've had to get the reports that nobody has you would think you would think but tell you what, they haven't been changing their philosophy very much. I'd like to let everybody know, Tariqo's still killing it. Oh, yeah, sure. Everybody's crushing it. Per usual.

Thanks for your service of living in Japan for however long Tariqo's going to be there. He might be the last person in Japan from the United States representing the Olympics. But that soccer game this morning was, and by that I mean the shootout was electrified. Oh, yeah. So cool. Canada was dancing around with that Swedish goalie too much. Sweden could have put that away with that fifth kick and then roofs it over.

I mean, we're talking – Captain. Oh, no. It looked like she'd been in the Olympics for quite some time. Whoa, whoa. She's a veteran in the game for sure. But it was a damn shame that Canada gets that win, but there was an eighth of an inch difference between an Olympic gold medal

and somebody going to have to relive that for the rest of their lives. And that's the thing that the Olympics does, is they really put their spot on you. Tonight after SmackDown, 10.30 p.m., U.S. men go for gold in basketball against the French team that, you know, gave them some trouble. Did beat them. They're 12.5 point favorites.

Like I said last time, don't let Poirier get hot. No. He can throw them. Poirier can play, but Poirier, if he comes off the bench and just absolutely starts to dominate like he did last time, do not let him get hot out there.

I think our team's all the way back, by the way. Yeah, once it started to matter. KD's starting to bang, too, a little bit. Devin Booker had, I think, 20 the other night. Are they going to bring that back to the NBA, maybe? What's that? Referee? No, I'm talking about the style of play.

Oh, yeah, I guess like Tatum went up real. No, I'm talking like physicality. Oh, yeah, so the refereeing. Not refereeing. I'm talking about the players not acting as if they get shot. Yeah, not the refereeing, but I'm just saying the players may be To both of your points, Tatum went up for

kind of a layup the other day and he went into the defender from the other team trying to look for a foul and the ref looked at him like, this isn't the NBA, dude. You're not getting that here. That happened earlier, right? Not now? Yeah, like now they're banging. Like Kevin Durant got an and one the other day,

and I was almost surprised to see him go down almost because I think the guys have kind of adapted the game to the game. And I just wonder, hey, can we just pick that up and just go ahead and bring it back to the NBA? It would be awesome if we didn't have to hear a whistle every single time they go down the court. That would be awesome if we didn't have to hear a whistle every single time they go down the court that would be great if that didn't have to happen unfortunately you know the king of

the league will never stop doing the flopping and the flailing he takes advantage of the situation because he is a great player and that's exactly what those guys are going to do when they go back and they get the same referees and it's like oh we can flop again they're going to call fouls every time we go to the hole if we just flail our arms in the air.

So we might as well start doing that again. Who's turtle-looking guy ref from the NBA? Crawford. Joey Crawford. Joey Crawford would love it if they played international style. I don't think he wants to blow to us, so anytime he blows it. Plus, Crawford would be able to shave points off every game and make a lot of money if he was working over there. Don't be a scumbag, dude.

This is how I win. I'm getting sick to my stomach sitting back here listening to you guys spoo all this Olympic talk and no mention of the fastest people on the planet, the Dons of the track, the Italian men's relay team taking home gold in the 4x100 meter. Well, the American 4x100, same thing. The United States didn't make the finals. We didn't watch. Couldn't handle it.

Carl Lewis did apologize, though. Well, Carl Lewis is now tied for the most amount of sprinting medals, I believe, with Allison Felix. Correct. She won a bronze, I believe, last night. Unbelievable performance by her. The interesting thing about Allison Felix, she's won her 10th Olympic medal.

She ties Carl Lewis for most Olympic track and field medals by an American. That was shout out Paul Carr for that. That is, I guess, a couple years back now. Two years. 2018. Nine months months i guess so back into 2018 she got pregnant and nike cut her contract by like 70 or something yeah joe pompliano hey joe knows uh when allison felix decided to start a family in 2018 nike offered a contract that was 70% less and had no guarantees of her performance declined

due to pregnancy. So she left Nike, signed a deal with... Athleta? Has a two-year-old daughter and just won her 10th Olympic medal. Legend, absolutely.

Yeah! And I like the fact that she told Nike to fuck off. And after that, Nike implemented a brand new policy that they did not know they did not have. They said all Nike contracts now include a guaranteed athlete pay and bonuses for 18 months around pregnancy. So Allison Felix not only stood up for herself, her family, went somewhere else, but also changed the future and became the all-time leader in track and field medals in American history.

Congrats, Allison. Yeah. Go. Now, to your point, Frank, the Italians. I don't think anybody guessed the Italians are going to win that thing. No. Nobody thought that about you. 100-meter gold, relay gold, fastest people on the planet.

So what's that mean? That means, and I'm pointing at 1%, so that might make sense now that I think about it from a couple of situations I've been in where I look pretty quick. Because I don't think the Irish are known for being speedsters. Well, you got some speed. I don't think they've won a medal. What? The Irish have not won a single medal at the Olympic Games?

That's got to be wrong. That's got to be wrong. Yeah, sorry. There's no event for boozing. Pretty, pretty fascinating coming from you. He's lying. That's got to be wrong. He's just trying to bash out. Yeah, sorry. There's no event for boozing. Oh, come on. Pretty, pretty fascinating coming from you. In this Olympic, they have three medals. What's that?

In this Olympics, they have three medals. One gold and two bronze. Let's go. We got a gold, Tony. Hey, fuck you. What was the golden? I can look it up. Okay. Probably something sweet.

Dressage or something. Yeah, something really cool. I guess dressage, you know, obviously we know from the Kevin Hart Snoop Dogg video, but like 50-year-olds can compete against like 14-year-olds in that. And men and women, yeah. I think it's like a just kind of whoever gets in there gets there. So maybe that's how we get in the Olympics. If you become an astronaut and then you become a dressager.

Oh, that'd be perfect. I like horses. I've seen horse scents. Whoa guy, right? Yeah. What's his name? Joey Lawrence. He's in that with his cousin. He goes out to the ranch. That's right. Learns how to be a rancher. Great movie. Incredible movie. Dude, what a city sleeper. I knew you'd seen it.

That's why. Of course I did. It was rowing. Huh? Rowing. They were all rowing. What a win. What a win. That's these Irish legs.

Up and at them. Up and at them. Was it the solo? Was it the team? Was there somebody yelling slainte? It says lightweight men's double skulls and then women's four. Oh, skulls, dude. You guys running fast because we're doing skulls and shit.

Cracking skulls. That's what we're doing, bro. Don't worry about it. Nobody expected Italy. You guys have never been fast, right? Italy's never been a fast place? It's never really competed for gold in track, no. What's up with our track?

What's going on there? Allison obviously crushing it. Sydney McLaughlin. The women have done okay. Mohammed, I think Mo, New Jersey basically. I don't know where Allison Felix is from, but New Jersey has three of our fastest humans on Earth right now in that whole entire thing.

I think it's because we sent most of our studs to the speed walking event, but little did we know they did not have the juice that everyone else had. Ty, Ty. Yeah. Just four to five days ago, and then you reiterated it once again a couple days ago, then yesterday yet again. And you kind of backed off it a little bit today. Yeah, had to. Because of Gable, Dan, Steve Sin or whatever.

Yeah. And he was electrifying, but you're telling me that you didn't watch that speed walking, race walking, I got to shit. One guy actually does go shit. He's in the lead of the race yesterday and said, you know what? The Olympics still got their fastball. What a moment watching. These hips and dongs fly back and forth at a rate that you would have to practice for years and years and years and years for. Only one foot can be off the ground at the same time at one time and you can only straight leg it from front of

your body all the way until it passes underneath your hips that means there's a lot of waddling in there it looks like every one of them has to take a massive shit like they just got done hassan some taco bell or a potato patch they're're walking around Teddywood. Everything's hot. They're sweating, dripping. They got baby powder on their armpits because they're chafing from having to walk so hard

because if you don't punch hard enough, the hip won't go. And then if your hip won't go, guess what? You ain't catching up to the Chinese that have been training

more than anybody it looked like. Nope. One guy last night, yesterday from France, he was in a lead. He had overtaken the leader from China. I forget the guy's name, both of them.

Liu Yudang. That was the... The Chinese guy. Yeah, you said it in a French accent. But the French guy saw me, oui, oui, oui, oui, oui, oui, oui. And then, no, no, no, no, no. He literally turned off of the course right into a toilet. The sign says, toilets.

So a guy who looked like he was about to shit his pants literally went and took a shit. And he was the only one that did that. Everybody else just shit their pants while they were walking, race walking, the commitment, the dedication, the athleticism. And the loose buttholes is maybe the biggest thing I took away from yesterday. And to say that the Olympics lost our fastball before watching that, I think was a very amateur move by you. Well, my problem with it, and Tony and I were discussing this, it's tough to take it seriously because half these fucking people were just running.

I mean, they were not doing the straight knees, hips, waddling. Half these guys would get on the inside lane. They'd get circled by other people, and they'd just start running. It's called fraud walking. No, no. They have people watching. Not enough. Yeah.

Because we were watching. They're not cheating as bad as the Japanese baseball team, but they're cheating. Okay, so we'll get into that. There seems to be smoke coming out of their hands. There's a lot of gas out there. But they have uh they have they have refs all over for the entire 31 miles that i guess they just watch and you could put in a penalty box well like five minutes you got to just stand there in your own shit some

of them then there's like a two minute penalty and then there's a different penalty and now i think i saw one of them they actually had had the face mask, obviously. Then they had the glass shield on there. Sure. And I think the one spotter took the job so serious because it is tough to see if one or both feet in the air or not. They actually had like magnifying glasses in the shield. Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah. So the one person was just zoomed in on every fucking foot. So they take it very serious. I think you guys didn't know what you were looking at. Oh, you should have seen it. You should have seen it. You should have seen it. There was one guy from, I want to say, Chinese Taipei who was just straight up fucking running. It was bullshit.

No, that's how good. That's how practiced. He's doing high knees. No! It's like going back to being in football practice. He looked like the horse doing dressage. No! Oh, yeah.

Come on. He was cheating big time. No! Yeah. No, he wasn't using explosive diarrhea to propel him forward. Like the French. Correct. By the way, French shit taker was in the lead.

He came back somehow. He did. Oh, yeah. I think he actually did poop his pants later. He did. He did not finish it. I was kind of surprised that he got back with the pack after taking such a quick shit or whatever, you know, because it seemed like once you lose the pack, it's going to be hard to gain any speed.

He went in there, quick drop off, comes back. He did not get rid of everything inside of his bladder. Zito did keep up with that. Yeah, I did watch the whole thing. So he was taking the lead and then he stops and the announcer is looking at him and you just see him put his hand like by his butt. And then he was out for the rest of the race. Well, and then also I think you saw, and then there was other walkers that were walking.

Excuse me. You saw things dribbling down. Why don't they walk in diapers? They do. They should. Why not? They're not good. Hey, those ain't pampers because there's a lot of leaking.

You know what I mean? There's a lot of leaking. Adds weight, too. I don't understand how they don't have height classes. Because, I mean, the tallest guys were just dominating everybody else that was shorter than them. Oh. Sorry to hear about it, pal. That's the Olympics, baby.

You going to play in the NBA? Probably not. No, that's what I'm saying. It's the Olympics. It's like respect that some of the shorter speedwalkers clearly have a massive disadvantage. They're 5'5". That's a sport, dude. That's a sport. They. That's a sport.

They're there for a reason. What do you want? I want height classes, just like in wrestling, how we have weight classes. And I want more speedwalking. Can't do that. Let me guess. You want an eight-foot hoop NBA, too. Is that what you want to do?

Maybe if they were throwing schlubs like me in there, yeah, I'd want an eight-foot hoop. But guess what? Short schlubs. That's what you're talking about. The NBA is the standard. So is the Olympic race walking. It is the standard. Yeah, well, they need to change it.

They got to change a lot of stuff about the Olympics. And like we said, fucking figure out that broadcast, NBC. I don't know. I don't know if NBC is going to be in charge of adding a height restriction for a different height class. But by the way, valid point. But are you saying that in the swimming too? No, because swimming is all on speed. If you're short, you've got to move your arms fast.

Michael Phelps was born to be the greatest swimmer of all time. His arms, I think, are like a nine-and-a-half-foot reach or something like that. He's got webs in his hands that are bigger than everybody else. Should he have to race against only people that have over eight foot long reaches? Because that helps? No. They were made to be great at what they do.

Just like the tall motherfucking speed walkers that we watched yesterday. Just have respect for it. These two are much different distinctions in their respect to sports. Are they racing or are they not racing? They're racing. But one's on land, one's in water. I mean, if you're... Say sprinters. Should we have taller sprinters race against taller sprinters and not shorter sprinters? The shorter one's

got to move their legs faster. I'm just saying, all the small dudes that we saw yesterday, they were getting circled and boxed in, and they just never stood a chance. They did get bullied. There was bullying in that race walking. There was a lot of shouldering. There's got to do, though. But also, the smaller race walkers They're never going to win

And also they probably have to poop Smaller dogs have to go to the bathroom Oh you're right But also they eat less Can you just not go? That's what I was very confused by Why is everybody shitting their pants in the middle of the race? That's a big thing

31 miles? Okay, so I've never done a marathon. I've done a half. I poop at least twice a day. So I'm not a judgment on the amount of shit somebody has to take in a day. But you would think that they would have figured out how not to eat or what to eat before getting into a situation where you're going to be forcing your body to poop almost with the twisting and the tightening you don't want to be have a loaded gun or a loaded

butt out there yeah but you got also fuel yeah you have to yeah badsy uh johan dens is the guy from france i might have been sprung his last name he did the same thing in rio four years ago he was in the lead commanding and pooped his pants off. Can somebody not figure out this guy's daily eating schedule? This guy might be the greatest speed walker of all time and he just can't keep his butthole tight. Nerves. Nerves cause you to poop.

He shouldn't even have anything in there. Next time we need, just keep that thing empty. Wear a diaper, numbnuts, and you'll win gold. Take a Xanny block beforehand. Well, I think they test for that. You'll probably tear an ACL if you're going straight legs.

I need a therapeutic exemption. For what? Well, you see, I poop all the time when I walk, but I'm the greatest walker of all time. I should have two golds. I should have two, three golds at this point. But I got nothing because I got to poop too often.

We have to get to some breaking news. During the break, obviously, we reported Josh Allen had just signed a six year deal with the Buffalo Bills. Congrats to the Buffalo Bills. Congrats to Josh Allen. Initial reports didn't have the financials with it.

Now we have it. $258 million over six years. $150 million guaranteed. Congratulations, Josh Allen. Setting the standard for what an NFL quarterback contract at the elite level is going to look like. $150 million guaranteed. Not bad for a kid with big hands who can throw the ball far. Incredibly happy for him and for the Bills having the

perfect guy. Six years gives them a lot of time. He can wiggle. He can re-up. He can do whatever. This is a smart move and they'll be off and running. Congrats to Schefter and Mort Report getting the inside exclusive. Quick math, $43 million a year. Mahomes is getting $45 million a year. Prescott, $40 million

a year. Aaron Rodgers. $45 million a year. Prescott, $40 million a year. Aaron Rodgers. What's the guarantees on theirs, though? $150 million is pretty good. What are the others? Mahomes is guaranteed $141 million. Dak, $126 million. That's the main thing they're trying to get.

Who can get the most guarantee? What's Aaron going to get? $200 million? $270 million guaranteed. Let's just guarantee the whole deal, whatever he gets. That's like Kirk Cousins, right? Kirk Cousins did that. Kirk Cousins was the first one to really say, hey, I want to go fully guaranteed in this thing. He had the Jets also offering him whenever he came out of his second

or third franchise tag with Washington, and then the Vikings came in over top with a fully guaranteed deal. The only one, I think, thus far that has been done that way at the quarterback position. It's a lot of money. $150 million. I mean, hey, your kids, kids. Yeah. Your kids, kids, kids.

Mm-hmm. Kids. Oh, yeah. Fucking awesome, dude. Good for fucking Josh Allen. Well, shit, when this is done six years from now, if he does it, I mean, he's only going to be, what, like 31 years old? You know, he's going to get another one of these that's probably fucking and and probably not with the way science is going especially with him having lasers and sensors on his elbow

he's probably gonna be this might be the first of three or four oh good for josh dude hey good for josh aj yeah good for you josh not not enough pressure already on you with this giant contract we're gonna say you're getting three or four new contracts and have your bionic body, I guess, is what you're trying to say eventually. Hey, Josh, a lot of pressure was on you before your generational wealth happened. Now that it's happened, no pressure. Yeah, who cares? You win.

You did it. You're right. Now you're going to have to win a Super Bowl. I hate you. You have to do all those things. Everything you do is going to be compared now amongst the Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgerses of the world, Tom Brady's of the world, because of what you're getting paid.

But well worth it, well deserved. And if he continues to go, I don't know how he would be able to after what he did from year two to year three. If he continues to do that, that might be a cheap contract for the buffalo bills just a couple years from now what the hell is going to happen with lamar jackson now because he hasn't signed yet and now with all the covid shit it's like well what's what kind of deal is baker gonna get as well like baker's gonna say hey look at this i want a josh allen deal hopefully

45 what's your deal there's no way what's your deal i'm saying that's what you do other quarterbacks are going to go off other contracts and say this is how we're going to base how we try to negotiate. Baker did win a playoff game, too. So there isn't like – They're going to pay him. They're going to extend him. I just don't know. What do you think it looks like?

Well, I have no idea. Because what if they do start becoming fully guaranteed and with this new $110 billion deal with maybe more digital money coming in there, salary cap, who knows what's going to happen with that. I mean, there is potential, a lot of money coming in. And I think that is why Tom Brady's so frustrated. I love, okay,

now, I don't want to be a negative Ned. No. Okay. I don't like necessarily negative situations happening with people. Okay. I don't like it. Okay.

I don't like it at all, actually. I hate it. It's the worst. If somebody presents it into my life and asks for people to bring it into my life, I actually block those people from my life. Can't do it.

Which has become a topic of conversation on Twitter, by the way. I'm a fan of said guy, but he literally was asking his fans to call him a better show host than me with a couple tweets he put out, so it's like, they did that. His show is better than mine. I don't need that in my life though so what am i gonna do i'm gonna block the person that i followed when i thought we had a good i blocked the guy weeks ago but i forgot

about it at this point i i completely it was weeks ago when it happened i completely forgot about it he just found out recently i had followed him we had a relationship i think i think his name brandon perna is his name he has a radio host he's a youtube show he has a youtube show and i like i actually followed him i think we had a pretty good interaction it was good it was i didn't watch his show i don't really i don't have time to do that but i enjoyed that he was an internet show a good show a youtube show i followed him then one day a couple weeks ago out nowhere, he puts a tweet out and says like something, something. And he says, my biggest competition is in. He added me. Right.

So, I mean, he has like thirty seven thousand tweets or something like that and only thirty seven thousand followers. So I don't know how much he knows Twitter, but he was definitely asking for his people to say things bad about me. Right. Like that is that was the tweet he was doing. I thought we had a good relationship. I'm like, hey, we're Internet shows. And our competition, by the way, is fucking TV fucking tv people yeah that is who we're going at and maybe i wasn't as so i blocked them you know and i think anybody that has ever known me in the history of knowing me that's like that is very par for the course i got texts from people former teammates

asked me why i didn't drag him like hey why did you not drag and i'm like no no no i'm actually a fan but i'm just blocking that from my life which i do like all right listen all right i don't fucking know you you don't know me i followed you we had a thing see you i'm not getting like see you later dude just have a good one good luck i'm out of here now i got his people tweeting i'm blocking every person that tweets me from his people and by the way i will not even notice the difference when y'all motherfuckers are gone i'm gonna let you know that and i'm completely okay with it. But what I'm saying is I don't like negativity. Okay.

I'm maybe the least negative surrounded human on earth maybe at this point. I'm not 100% sure with the blinders that I've been able to put on. And a lot of people attack me for that because I don't know anything going on in the real world. And that's cool. I'm just enjoying my fucking day. All right. I'm just going about it. But whenever people stand up to something

that i don't like as well you know i i'm all about i'm like hey let's go let's go dude for instance aj i think there was a moment early where you said you also hated the nflpa and i was like of course you do you have a brain and then then now jimmy jimmy graham's obviously coming out however you feel about jimmy graham whatever the case, he's come out. Tom Brady has now come out and be like, this fucking NFLPA is the worst, dude. So it's one of these things where whenever I see people that I'm a fan of or I have a lot of respect for have the same views that I've had for a long time, I'm always like, fucking A, might be on to something here. You know what I mean?

And Tom Brady's saying the salary cap dropped by 20%. The new media deals were announced the day after the 2021 salary cap was set, which was for $110 billion. NFL players better wake up at NFLPA. NFL players are ignorant. The average value of an NFL franchise is up 14% despite revenue drop, topped by Dallas Cowboys. Like, okay. So what Tom Brady's saying is, oh, the salary cap goes down because the amount of money that's allegedly coming in that is split is going down. But every value one up, we're losing here. How is this the deal we negotiated? Great question, Tom. We all have a lot of great questions. You should just go ahead and turn that thing around, Tommy B, TB12. Let's go ahead and lead a brand new union, AJ. I mean, that's the only way change would really happen, wouldn't it?

If guys like Tom Brady are this outspoken about it. And it is crazy to think. So their average value raised by how much? 14% when they played in empty stadiums all year? Yeah, and it's because they renegotiated all of their media deals. Yeah, the Cowboys, $6.5 billion. This is via Forbes, I believe, or Mike Ozanian. Awesome.

Cowboys, $6.5 billion. And remember, when Jerry bought the Dallas Cowboys, there are some people that whenever it's a par 5 and they're 240, 250 yards out and there's maybe a pond in between where you are in the green. Some people decide to lay up. I'm going for the green every fucking time, says Jerry Jones. He went all in, he said, when he bought the Cowboys. Literally all in.

He says, in the way I think I have understood it, he would have been broke if the Cowboys didn't work, and this is back before the NFL just automatically worked. Jerry Jones has been an incredible visionary, I I think in the business side of the NFL not sure 32 Jerry Jones's would be good for the NFL but Jerry Jones has done a lot of business for the NFL 6.5 billion dollars now they make 70 million a game at Jerry World down there unbelievable the Patriots they also have the Patriot Place with a casino, a mall, everything like that.

Movie theater. $5 billion. Giants, Rams. Then the Washington football team, a team with no name, is the fifth most valuable NFL franchise. It's probably because of the location and everything like that. Still unbelievable at $4.2 billion. $4.17, $4.07, $4 billion a round for the 49ers, Bears, and Jets.

Eagles at $3.8, Broncos $3.75. Colts aren't in there. What's that all about? I think they're going to get a good deal on the stadium. Yeah, why don't they have a Colts place here? Hey, who's in last? Like, what value is worse? I think it's Buffalo.

Texans. Last time I checked, it was the Bills. Really? I guess Houston. Houston's a ginormous city. Yeah, Houston's a big city. And also, I think they Bills. Really? I guess Houston. Houston's a ginormous city. Yeah, Houston's a big city. And also, I think they sell out. Like, they're fans.

I'm pretty sure Houston's fans are in it. I mean, the Bills fans, too, though. They sell out. Yeah, what's that all about? Why are the Bills? Market size. TV market. Yeah, but now on the internet, who gives a fuck?

The Bills are in last. Because they just get cannibalized by New York? That is, you go and play a 1 o'clock game against the Jets or the Giants, it's a chance that it, that's your most watched game, aside from your primetime game, just because of how many people are in the area for whenever it's on or whatever. Even if it's not a regional game or whatever, and this is before, I guess, like obviously the game, no, the. NFL Sunday ticket. Sunday ticket, and this is before, I guess, like, obviously the game, no, the.

NFL Sunday ticket. Sunday ticket, there it is, before that. It was, you know, those markets are so damn large, but this is why you see Jacksonville building up around the stadium. The whole building up around the stadium, like the Arlington Bears are going to do in Chicago, that is where all the money goes up, because you're getting every dollar that

comes into town for that game is going to you as opposed to the local companies that are potentially the local restaurants, local bars. And if somebody comes and buys the team, they get all that real estate as well. Yeah. And you've been collecting cash on it for however many years you've had it up to and owned it all. Jim Irsay, by the way, could do that here. Yeah.

Good area. It does, actually. Bottom five bar. Wait, by the stadium he could? that here. Yeah. Good area. It does, actually. Bottom five are. Wait, by the stadium he could? He could buy the area. Yeah, there's like an entire area that I would assume, and this is just me driving by being an ignorant human and going looking on Zillow.

I think he could just buy an entire plot. There's a lot of area. So there's open space around. I guess I hadn't really thought about it. Usually if something's a dome and it's in the middle of a city, it's pretty much locked. There's no open space. I guess I hadn't really thought about it. Usually, if something's a dome and it's in the middle of a city, it's pretty much locked. There's no open space. So it's on the outskirts of the city.

The stadium is on the outskirt of the city, basically. That's right. Yeah, you can see it as you're coming in right next to the highway. It's like the last thing on the south. So where the Bengals decide to practice next to their stadium, which is next to the highway, you know, he could buy that entire area and just turn that into Horseshoe Village or whatever the fuck he wants to call it. Even if he wants to be closer to the city, there's like two parking lots that are pretty massive that he could probably put something that's like right across a little closer.

That's the future of all these bazillionaires just taking every single dollar. And people, it's going to be spun, which it is, as a very cool experience. Hey, come stay at our hotel you can use your room key to buy food and clothes and go to the game and all this college college campus hey like here we go it's everything it's like a we're a cruise hey it's magic all i do is need this card i don't even need money look at them investing in the city and everything like that and it's like well also every dollar that's coming down now is going to one particular entity. And that is great business.

That's the NFL, obviously. And look for more and more to do that, if I had to guess, especially as sportsbooks and casinos start kind of getting a little bit more readily available. Why didn't he do it? It would be great if he had a hotel casino here, a little area. Could you imagine in Texas when gambling gets legalized in Texas what Jerry's going to do? He's probably going to put the biggest casino ever built at Jerry World.

How much did they make outside off the revenue or the local or whatever in Green Bay? How much was it? Was it 120? Yeah, I think 120 million. Or was that just investments? 1.2 or was it 120? I don't remember what it was. It was 120 just from investments alone. Was it only? Yeah, I think $120 million, or was that just investments? 1.2, or was it $120? I don't remember what it was. It was $120 just from investments alone.

Was it only? Yeah, $120 million from investments. What was the local? Whatever it was. They got that Lombardi thing with the museum. The Green Bay Packers have it done right. It's literally just in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, I think that's one, too, where I would imagine over the next 10, 15 years, that's really going to explode.

Yeah, because they're going to have too much money. They're like an NCAA school that can't go and have a profit, so they just spend, oh, here's a new $500 million building. We made $0 last year. You know what I mean? With the Green Bay Packers, they just have that fund with billions and billions of dollars. You'd think they would just keep building it up so that they can just get more money into that. Who gets that money? Goes into one account, right?

And then who decides where to use it is the question. Does your stock go up? I don't think so. It should. So who gets the money? Just the company or the team as a whole, right? That board? The board doesn't get it because the board, that would be.

I don't think anybody gets it. It's used for, it's put back into the team. But I'm sure, I don't know who makes those decisions as what is, I don't know what you can use it for. Have you talked to Gutekunst and Aaron Rodgers yet? Have you talked to them about their relationship? Yeah, every night. I FaceTimed both of them last night.

They were together. Oh, was it like a group text FaceTime thing? Yeah. That's tough. Whenever you hit one of those accidentally and then you're like, how long has it been ringing? Because maybe your phone or pocket did it. It's like, well, I might as well sit here.

And two people pop up and are like, what are you doing? I didn't mean to call. I'm sorry. And then faces just pop up on the screen. I mean, that is. You do that with Goons and Goons and Aaron? How's it going? Are they in the same room, you think, just separate because of COVID protocols?

Well, I don't know. They're allowed together by each other, right? Aren't they? I'll tell you what. I just got an entire laundry list of things that I potentially have to abide by for tonight's game. Jesus. Which, by the way, I've got to go. For tonight?

Yeah, it's Friday. Jeez, I thought it was Thursday. Hey, I want to let you know, I thought Tuesday was Thursday. Yeah, today's been a weird week. I've had multiple people have issues. Today has been a weird week, dude. Today has been a weird week. Like seven seconds later, I figured it out.

Yeah, there was a delay. Your internet's bad. But legitimately, though, like Tuesday I thought was Thursday. I put Phil Mickelson on Wednesday because I thought it was a feel-good Friday. Like literally when I made that decision, I was like, ah, put him on tomorrow. That would be awesome. It would be a great way to do the whole thing.

Tomorrow was Wednesday. It was like, oh, shit. Jeez Louise. Already, huh? It's already Wednesday. That is what's nice about having the NFL back is you kind of get your days back. Some of these days, you know, I mean, every Monday might as well be Friday, but. Overreaction Monday.

Boom. What? Say it. Say it. What? Say it. What comes after Overreaction Monday? Oh, possibly Aaron Rodgers Tuesday again.

What? Oh, dude. Rodgers Tuesday. What? Oh, dude. I guess hopefully. Then it's normally wasted Wednesday because there's nothing to talk about. Boom. Because Wednesday's like a nice little piece of the offseason. We'll call it offseason Wednesday.

Which also might have a nice little... It might be... Don't. Yeah, don't give it away yet. What are you doing? We are trying to bolster Wednesdays because we have learned from last season where Wednesday is potentially a little bit of a offseason feel. feel you know what i mean we've hammered everything from the

previous week already on monday tuesday ad nauseam thursday's the next day but that's only one game you spent thursday wednesday we're normally caught in like a purgatory unless the lambda delta delta plus tribe comes through and says listen wed Wednesday afternoon football is all the way back. Please. I mean, maybe. I don't know. We'll see how it goes, I guess. But you're right.

Football season doesn't put me back on schedule. Routine. Hell yeah. God. Damn, Wade. Why didn't you watch the game, dude? Big Mike was out there running around. I know.

I'm sure he was excited to get back out there and get that big game feel. Hey, his offense fucking stinks. I mean, come on, man. It's a work in progress. We got Dak rehabbing. We'll be all right. Hey, he's got a shoulder. He's got a leg.

But he was clapping very hard on the camera, so the shoulder looks good. I figured he took Toradol for the clap. Maybe. Not the disease, like two claps. Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I don't know if Toradol does work on that particular clap, though. But yeah, maybe for the clap.

Maybe Jerry said, hey, listen, they're going to force me to put Jimmy Johnson into the goddamn ring of honor. We need to at least force them to think you're going to be okay. Shoot his ass up. Clap hard. Mike McCarthy, though, had to be so miserable yesterday. Just thinking to himself, like all last year, the offense worked on her

if we get players. Whole thing getting all out playing buddy out here. Hey, Hard Knocks, he's going to be a big part of it, I think. Is it Tuesday nights? Yeah. They showed a clip of Hard Knocks. It was a tease and it was Mike Lombardi. Or Mike McCarty. Mike McCarthy.

Talking about Michael Lombardi and having a conversation about trophy lombardi he said hey it's heavier than you think that's what he said he's holding one pretty much yeah it was he wasn't holding one it was him he said wait hold that up there ain't nothing else it's heavier than you think i can't wait is it by the way i've never held one uh sure i don't i think it's about as heavy as you would think i don't know did you get a tiffany's one no i don't i don't have a i don't have a trophy don't he had the opportunity to buy one yeah we had no i didn't ever i guess yes you did yeah you did maybe like a small replica or like yeah a paperweight size

you didn't even get the paperweight size? No, I got the big paperweight ring actually. I gave it to my brother. That's very nice. Your brother doesn't follow me on Instagram so fuck him. Yep. Agreed. You're such a child. Hey, Ryan, my brother

Ryan, if you see this, Pat's upset. He's sad you don't follow him. No, I am a child by the way. That's why that situation earlier about blocking people is like the most expected thing for me to do. I had people tweet me, why'd you do that? Why'd you do that? I was like, anybody that ever knows me knows that that's going to happen. Like, that is just literally how I operate.

Like, all right, well, it seems like you're bringing negativity in my life. You're probably a really good guy if I had to guess. Never met you, but I'll never see you again. And it's cool that Internet has that capability. You know what I mean? Best part, really. But I I had to guess. Never met you, but I'll never see you again. And it's cool that internet has that capability. You know what I mean? But I wish him the best. I think his show is better than this one. I appreciate that. It's just, go ahead.

Carry on. Get on now. This guy's got to be upset because he thought he, like you said, you guys had a thing and now you don't. Yeah, but he was asking for people to to say what to compliment him and put that's what that tweet is for wait what did the tweet say again i don't think he said to put you down did he wow no i mean kind of though it's like he basically put anybody who's

on the internet knows that that is like what you're doing there is asking for people to i've been guilty of it in the past hey Hey, somebody says something terrible to me, I'm going to quote tweet this, I'm going to bury this person, and guess what? Everybody's going, no, okay. Bombs away. Let's get him.

All right, and I appreciate everybody does that. I stopped doing that because I didn't like my timeline being filled up with negativity. Him saying like, oh, now my biggest competition is, and adding me, he's asking for his people to be like, no, no, no.

This guy stinks. That's no competition. That's what happened. That's what the internet is. Maybe he didn't know that. I have no idea. I don't think so because I have two more. Maybe he thought he was helping you. Maybe he thought by tagging you, oh, hey, I'm going to get Pat some more followers. Maybe. I didn't take it that way. And the things that were said by his people,

I said, get the fuck out. See you later. You're off the island of relevancy for at least the time being. See ya. Anyways, I gotta hop on. I like it. I gotta hop on the plane. Safe travels out there. Safe travels, eh? Go get them. Hey, hopefully I don't get... I was gonna say, maybe bring that

Sylvester Stallone bubble. I was asked to bring a... I think there's some... Did he tell you to wear a football helmet? Wait, why do you have a bunch of new protocols for tonight? You're going to Florida, aren't you? Yeah, but I guess, like... That's the worry.

Oh, no. Oh, are they changing things down there? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We're going to have to find out. I was just told, like, hey, look alive when you get down here.

We don't know. I think there is a lot of potential. I think he's talking. No. He's creeping. Do the fans have to do anything different? No, I don't think so. I think it's the building.

I don't know. I'm not 100% sure. I didn't fully understand what I was told. So I am going to, I'm just going to go and try not to get kicked out. That's what I'm going to try not to do. What if you get a Utah Jazz moment where you have to announce? What if I'm the person on the thing? Yes. Alright, give me a mic.

Everybody look for the McAfee Minute. Today, when you got out of bed this morning in the City of Champions, back-to-back Stanley Cups. Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning the Lombardi right

here in Tampa Bay. You had no idea that tonight when you were looking forward to acknowledging Roman Reigns as the greatest wrestler in the history of wrestling that actually what would happen is, and I need you not to panic,

you all need to go back to your houses and shut yourselves to go back to your houses and shut yourselves in for three to four months. Lambda Delta Delta Plus ain't fucking around. Please do not panic. That would be awesome.

That's basically what the Utah Jazz guy did. That's a tough spot. You don't really get to practice that one in broadcasting school, I don't think. Just did, though. I'll be prepared. If that comes tonight or any of these future weeks, what people are saying, I want to let everybody know, I will be prepared for the moment.

Stay safe down there. I have to be. Ian Rapport doesn't care if I survive. No, he doesn't. Do you hear that shit earlier? No, what did he say? He said, because every time they report somebody has COVID, we've always asked, why are we the only people that seem to say,

we hope they survive, and then what's the team going to be like without them? Right? Because that is what, isn't that what we're doing? Yeah. Isn't that why you're reporting it? Because they're out for so long? Because there's a chance they're going to die, right's the if there wasn't a chance they were going to die then there's no reason for anything to happen is that not what we're doing and none of these

people they break the news as if it's just like stand out can we not care if they survive or not about this thing and ian said i don't want to put out faux sympathy i was like so you hope they die wait what does that even mean? He said, if somebody has a devastating injury, I'll acknowledge it or whatever. I'm like, did any broken leg? There's been some devastating ones. Has any broken leg shut down the entire world, Ian Rappaport? Maybe a little bit more sympathy for these players getting COVID.

Let's hope they survive. Lamar's missed eight practices. That's not good for the Ravens. But let's hope he fucking survives. He hasn't been vaccinated. Two minutes ago, he saw what Josh Allen's contract was. Activate me. He survived! He survived. Let's go! Congrats, Lamar!

Hey, now Lamar has 90 days to act like a vaccinated player because he's an immunocorn because he just got coronavirus. And I actually asked Ian Rappaport, I said, you know, I think that's going to potentially backfire because I think guys now listen I hope everybody survives and I don't think it's a laughing matter at all but if guys are being told that they don't have to get the vaccine and they'll be treated as if they're a vaccinated player if they get through COVID I think there's a chance

that some of these guys would rather get COVID than get the vaccination I'm not saying that's how I feel but I think there'll be some people that'll potentially be searching, like a couple of my big friends did in college for the girl that had mono looking to try to maybe share a glass with the girl with mono so they lose 15 to 16 pounds, even though they know it's going to be terrible. That could happen with this.

Just saying. That's not the case right now, though. Even if you've had COVID and you're not vaccinated, you have to mask and do everything still, right? Just mask. You don't have to do the test. You get 90 days like you're a vaccinated player.

So look for a couple people going, Hey, you want the vaccine? No, actually, shoot me with COVID. Yeah. Tell them I already came here and coughed in my mouth. Right now. We hope everybody survives and they don't do that but i'm just saying with everything there is a loophole and that seems to be one we're all learning about

right now all right that's the show can't thank you guys enough for joining us watching listening whether it's on serious youtube on here you guys are the best we really appreciate you we know there's a bunch of other shit you could be listening to and the fact that you spend time with us means a lot we'll be back on monday with another good week of shows hey we're getting closer to the start of the football season baby getting closer have a great weekend cheers I'm sorry.
