It is Tuesday, February 8th, 2022, and coming to you live from the FanDuel stage at Radio Row is this stupid-ass sports show we can't thank you enough for joining us here at youtube.com forward slash the Pat McAfee show. FanDuel Sportsbook, the number one sportsbook in all of the land, put together a stage here at Radio Row in downtown LA at the convention center that is the biggest, the baddest, the most undeserving stage that we have ever stepped on. This thing is way too nice for us.

Obviously, there is not that much electricity in the air because it appears as if one-eighth of the shows that are going to be here by the end of the week are currently here. But it is magical in Los Angeles here on Tuesday of Super Bowl Week where the hometown Los Angeles Rams get a big dub for old-ass Matthew Stafford and the Superstar Boys? Or will the Cincinnati Bengals get a win on Sunday?

Who knows? We're going to bullshit about all of that and more for the next four days live in a city that has great fucking weather. Oh, yeah. Beautiful. Hey, we got a chance to experience this a little bit yesterday. Now, when we landed, we were supposed to have four SUVs. There was none on deck for us, so it was quite a controversy, a catastrophe to start the entire trip.

But don't get your spirits down, I said to myself. Although you've got to walk to the Airbnb that you rented with all of your bags after flying in on a very expensive plane, this is going to be a magical week. And the magical week begins today. We have Marshall Falk joining us in about 12 minutes. Yeah, hey, no bullshit. Marshall Falk is going to be sitting right there. Then Michael Irvin will be FaceTiming in because he's over at SoFi in the 8K studio.

Super nice thing. Never been on the show. Cannot wait to chat with him about his year that was on first take. The Dallas Cowboys stinking again and everything like that. Colleen Wolfe will join us in the fourth hour. Although we cannot take phone calls, we will be able to answer questions on Twitter. Utilize the hashtag

PMS in LA. And don't be an asshole. Capital PMS, lowercase i-n, Big LA. And maybe we'll answer your question. You'll make it onto the show. And maybe you'll get a chance to hear the incredible, cheating motherfucker at cards,

A.J. Hart. Yeah, winner. Thank you. It is great to have you in person, A.J. This is the first time we've ever really done a show together live and in person since the last time when he fell asleep on Dan Wetzel, the pretzels interview. You are fantastic. Tone Diggs is here.

The toxic table is now at a toxic love seat. We appreciate the hell out of you boys. A.J., let's dive right into it. Tuesday is Super Bowl week. How are you feeling? You excited? Does this take you back to the days whenever. Tuesday is Super Bowl week. How are you feeling? You excited? Does this take you back to the days whenever you won the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers? AJ, did you get a little reminiscent last night here in LA?

I did. When I watched the Rams, you see they had their little pep rally celebration. The Bengals did something. Hey, not a lot of people at that thing, by the way. And they're terrible. Cincinnati had a nice thing back in the cold in the stadium before they came out. So yeah, it got me excited, man. I'm thinking when I was in Dallas for the Super Bowl, I didn't get

to see any of this because you're kind of secluded away in your hotel. So it's awesome to be here again. Not really. It's early. Thursday, Friday is when it picks up, I guess. I hope so. Hey, listen. You guys coming in a little...

You're not enjoying your time? LA's delicious. Delicious? Delicious, delightful. I mean, we've had some unbelievable 7-Eleven food, Pat. Yeah. It's awesome here. Yeah, there's been a lot of snacks delivered to the Airbnbs.

I mean, logistically, this appears like it's going to be a nightmare this week for everybody. It's possible. But at Viva Lozito, put this thing together alongside the TVG crew. We appreciate all your work. Thank you. TVG. We had no idea if this was going to work, honestly. I think it was a final countdown.

While that five-minute clock was on to go live here, there were still a lot of questions being answered in the back there by ZD and the boys. And we appreciate the hell out of everybody that was a part of this. Thank you, Sandal, for allowing us to be here. Can't wait to chat with Marshall Falk, obviously. He was a Colt for four years. Yeah, and then they let him go. Yeah, what were they doing?

What a bummer. Well, just like when Jim Irsay said, hey, Peyton, get the hell out of town. I'm going to draft another one. They did that with Edrin James. How you doing? Back-to-back Hall of Fames. Now, I will ask Marshall Falk about his relationship with Jim Irsay because Jim Irsay was there during his Hall of Fame.

He's in the Ring of Honor. I assume he speaks highly of him. But whenever he kicked his ass out of town, I mean, that had to certainly be something. We'll try to rekindle old wounds for Marshall Falk. There is some new breaking news on this that we have to chat about before Marshall Falk gets here. Yesterday on the Let's Go podcast show that is on Mad Dog Sports Radio, Channel 82, which is right over there. Get him on camera. Yep.

Got it. There we go. This guy's got it. Boom. Bang. Right there. Zoom. Bang. That's Mad Dog Sports Radio. I have a camera where I can just kind of go wherever. Because we always said that the only purpose of Radio Row is to see what everybody else is doing. Now, granted, you get a lot of great

guests. You get a lot of great guests, but there's no reason for us not to check anything out. But anyways, on that SiriusXM channel, right there on the left, Mad Dog Sports Radio, Tom Brady has his Let's Go podcast show with, obviously, Jim Gray. Yesterday was fascinating and will be talked about because mostly, Tom Brady said, yeah, I ain't retiring.

I mean, yeah, I am retired, but who knows what six months is going to say. I'll just make the best decision for me in the moment. Well, what's going to happen in the moment when the San Francisco 49ers say, we just traded Jimmy G out, why don't you come back home, win the Super Bowl with us, the team's ready to go, Trey Lance can learn from me. Is that going to happen? That's kind of what it sounds like. I don't know if we have the clip or the capability to run the clip,

but it certainly sounded like Tom Zito just came in and we do not have capability to do that. Maybe tomorrow, though, there's still going to be a lot of building. Nick pokes his head out from around the corner. That's awesome. But the whole thought of Tom Brady maybe coming back is going to be a lightning storm. I'm not sure if you saw yesterday, but Lids put

out a graphic of the team that sold the most jerseys in a certain state and the team that sold the most jerseys in a certain state and the player that sold the most jerseys in a certain state. Tom Brady was the most sold jersey in Indiana. So I'm thinking the Colts fans want the home run. I mean, he was the most sold jersey in like 15 states, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah, but those other states didn't have an NFL team. Well, and the Colts didn't.

Well, a lot of them did, though. He wanted to play for the Colts, you know, before he went to Tampa Bay. Loves Indy. No, it was like Wyoming. Why do you put him in San Fran instantly, though? Well, I think that's just a natural thing because we've all seen the photo of him when the San Francisco 49ers gear.

He's from NorCal. Allegedly, at one point, he wanted to go over there in Shanahan, and Lynch had to have the conversation of whether or not we want to go with Tom. Is this a lease? Is this a rental? Or do we want to go with Jimmy G?

And we all thought that Jimmy G was that motherfucker from the barbershop show. Actually, it turns out it was Fitz Magic in Miami. What about Trey Lance? What about the guy stinks? You can learn more. You can learn more. What about Aaron?

Oh, there he is. Hey, Trey. Is he here? That is something that's going to happen. A lot of comeuppance for us, potentially, at this thing. And that's why we put those two the farthest away from anybody. That's fine. But no, Trey Lance doesn't stink.

We don't know anything about him, really. I think a lot of these young quarterbacks, it's going to take a little bit. But if you can get Tom Brady in there, maybe for cheap. I guess that's what you're saying. No matter what, if you can get Tom Brady, you bring him in, right? That's what I've been saying for years. Now, it worked out for Tampa, and obviously I was right. Everybody else was wrong.

But moving forward, the thought if you could potentially get Tom Brady in your building, you try to get Tom Brady in your building. And he did not make it sound as if he's retired forever. Now, Aaron, remember, Aaron said, if I retire, it's not going to be like I'm coming back and going back and forth. I think he saw the Favre do this entire thing from an inside perspective and probably got tagged in a lot of stuff, and probably that's in his world.

Him saying, if I retire, I'm retiring for good. Tom Brady with Jim Gray, and Jim Gray was asking those hard-hitting questions all year. By the way, his journalism was never questioned all year. Mine was. Often. Jim Gray obviously asked some very difficult questions. But, AJ, you think Tom Brady comes back, the world will burn down yet again. So this just means he didn't want to be in Tampa anymore?

Is that what's going on? Or just the ultimate competitor understands that there's going to come a time chance where he wants to get back in again? Well, what are we? We're a week, two weeks out from him retiring, right? Yeah. And he's already saying, like, hey, you know, you never say never. Like, that's what would worry me. Not worry me, but actually excite me about Tom potentially playing again.

Well, Tom's like scratch. He's an addict. He saw his future. He was throwing balls to Beckham's kid off of a yacht. And he goes, I mean, this is nice, but I fucking whizzed that thing. Well, last offseason, he threw a ball to the moon, too. That's right. Two offseasons ago.

I forget that when he threw a ball to the moon. On the beach. He actually hit the fucking moon. Yeah. First guy ever to do that, you think? Maybe Simon Joe Montana could throw the ball. Chris Angel could probably do it too. Well, Chris Angel does have football pants.

We've seen him wearing those. But Tom Brady's dad there, remember a couple years ago, Tom Brady's dad saying he worries for him whenever Tom's done. He's like, I don't know what Tom will do when he's done with football. He loves it so much, he's so into it, right? Aaron Rodgers is going to have to ask the same question to himself. We've experienced it. I think we've seen it, right? Aaron Rodgers is going to have to ask the same question to himself. Yeah.

We've experienced it. I think we've seen it. Now, granted, you're ending a football much different than mine. You bounce around, play it a little bit. But we've all had friends that played in the NFL for a long time who are so stupidly competitive that they're just like, yeah, I'm going to retire and you're never going to see me again. Everybody's like, okay, well, what are you going to do without the schedule? What are you going to do without the routine?

Everybody needs something to give them, like, something to look forward to, to do, to work for. Like, even the laziest people need something, I feel like. Goal. Yeah. Like, what is the goal? A lot of guys, like, I mean, I almost got back into kicking, right, because it was an opportunity to kick field goals.

But there was a lot of moments where I was like, man, I should be punting right now. Like, I should be. Your body, like, treating, teaching your body to kind of go to the other side of football was very fascinating because naturally around fall, I think all football players for the rest of their lives around fall, you get into like a certain shape. Training camp.

Yeah, you get into like a certain mode. I think guys will do that forever. The fact that Tom's doing this before the Super Bowl even happens, he's already thinking ahead. Not even the offseason or OTAs or training camp or preseason or regular season game. He's getting his thoughts already. This is good news for the NFL. Good news for our show. But what's

going to happen with the Buccaneers? They're just going to watch this guy go play football somewhere else while Blaine Gabbert's fucking slinging the rock down there? Do you think part of it is that he didn't really maybe want to retire and then all the stuff with Darlington came out and it felt like he kind of forced his hand. He had to do it and now he's like fuck it. I made a mistake. I'm not done.

I don't want to be done. These guys took this from me. This is Schefter and Darlington's fault. It's been there for a long time. Sam Fran, too. You get Kittle in there. You get Gronk in there. Tom likes his tight end. Oh yeah, because Gronk said year 12? Yeah. I just saw a photo of him incredibly hungover at an

Ohio State visit. From what he visited during the game. He looked awesome. He looked so young, too. Straight up, like, same exact guy, though, I assume. But he's going to go wherever. I don't know if he probably is. I don't think it was open back then.

What? I don't think Urban cared if it was open or not back then. Urban doesn't give a damn about any of that stuff. Is he here? If Tom Brady comes, he's not showing his face here. That's what I was about to say. Who all is going to be here? It looks like basically nobody.

Just from the quick glance. It picks up later in the week. This is the first time, I guess, I was talking to where they really have a – it's the first year back. Last year was like kind of a skeleton radio row, I guess. This is the first year where it's somewhat normal, but I think later in the week is when it really picks up. It's somewhat normal, but I think later in the week is when it really picks up.

As we pan the convention center here in Los Angeles at the Super Bowl 56 radio row. What if some of them don't want to be on camera? Too bad. They shouldn't be in fucking radio row. No choice. Too bad. Listen, I told the idea long ago. This is what I wanted to do. Everybody seemed to be okay with it.

So that's not on me. That seems to be on everybody else. How's it going, pal? Good to see you, dude. Hey. How we doing? Good to see you, dude. Hey! How we doing? Good to see you, dude. A lot of that this week, I think. Hey, how's it going? How you doing?

We're right here near the beginning. So, we were told that there was going to be fans out here, if you do recall. Oh, yeah. And there is going to be fans out here Thursday, Friday, 3 p.m. local to 10 p.m. local. The good news about our show ends 1 p.m. local. Right. And that also includes Hammer which will be wrapping up every single four-hour slot that we have on this

beautiful stage every single day. Can't wait to hear what you and Gumpy and obviously Mitt have cooking up for this. Are you? Oh, yeah. I was up late last night. I didn't realize the fucking time change, dude. I was up late and I didn't realize and I woke up at 4.15 this morning

because you got to get up early to hunt winners. We're hunting. Yeah, there's no TV at the Airbnb I was at. No, mine's all in German and I couldn't figure out how to do it. Oh, so mine's in a different language as well. Jesus. I couldn't get out of it. I thought I was going to potentially trap myself in a mode

I never wanted to be in because I couldn't understand any of the words on the screen. This is a classic old school Peyton thing. This is what the Manning family does. The Manning family in... Breaking news. Do not let thing. This is what the Manning family does. The Manning family, breaking news, do not let your phone be open around the Manning family. What do they do? They'll go into your settings and change that shit

to Chinese. Change it right on your phone. You'll get your phone back. Am I drunk? You know, you get one of those situations. And then you gotta go get somebody to walk alongside of you to get you all the way back to the mode and then everybody has a big big laugh or whatever that's next level thinking that is something that i experienced at one point that's what my netflix was last night on my smart tv and

i didn't want to get that thing locked up for the entire week so i just shut it off laid in silence and turns out me and my thoughts in la 1 a.m 2 a.m actually 4 a.m 5 a.m eastern time not great okay especially with those pillows. I mean, there was a lot of moments last summer where I was like, we should not be here. Just a couple years ago, we were on a tiny little set. Oh, yeah. I'm talking about a tiny, tiny little set.

Inside a shoebox. Like a Bill's table. It really was. It was like a Bill's table, like the ones Stephon Diggs went through. People would come off RVs through the table. We were sitting. It was when Drew Brees, it was when Drew Brees up with Ty in the back of the head. Which, by the way,

Drew Brees doesn't deserve all the negative stuff said about him. Yeah, it was Ty's fault, right? Well, actually, it was the spot. It was not my fault. It was Drew's fault. Yeah, he was looking to get to Cuban Z, obviously,

so that's just, but now we have this glorious stage. Fandel, hey, Fandel really did it. Wow. How many TVs are in here? Jesus. Yeah, so you start doing the math here.

T-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B- How many TVs are in here? Jesus. Yeah, so you start doing the math here. Two, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Probably 30. 30 TVs. 30 TVs. I don't know why anybody else didn't do that. What do you guys do? I don't know. We really need all this. This helps.

Well, we do. Yeah, we do. What are you talking about? What's this all about? You can never have too many TVs. You can never get too big of a TV. Yeah, but what was that? It sounded like you were making nuggets.

90 always. 31 is one there, too. Yeah, you got a monitor right here. Right, 40. It was a positive. Trust me. What time you got? I was regressing.

I got to bump down, so let me know. Well, that's why I just assumed somebody would at some point say. Cap on your shoulder. No, I guess not. All right, I guess we'll talk about other stuff. New Orleans is promoting Dennis Allen to their head coaching role. He was interim head coach when something happened with Sean Payton COVID-wise. I believe everybody said he had a good pulse on the team.

He was liked on the team. This is very similar to the Lovie Smith hire where they were looking about, looking about, then they ultimately hire within. AJ, why do you think that happens? Do you think it's just a comfort, don't have to have a massive turnover. We're $71 million over the fucking cap. How many more people can we pay and hire and get this whole thing going? Why do you think hiring from within is the right move for the Texans or the Saints, or do you not agree with that? Well, that's always your goal. If you're a head coach, you want to build a staff to where you can hire from within because good staffs, guess what? They get hired away.

Oh, your offense is good? We're going to hire your quarterback coach to go be a coordinator somewhere. So you need to promote from within. That's always the best way, and they know him the best as well, so they know what he's going to do probably. I got a question. I was listening to Lombo talk, and he said sometimes when guys go from, like, GAs to position coaches, they sometimes still get treated like GAs because that's how people know them.

He's been to D.C. there for a long, long time. Is there a chance that he won't get the respect that he deserves? Hey, that's a power position. D.C.'s a power position. D.C.'s, yeah. That's a very powerful position. But you did see the inside linebackers coach from Tampa is getting hired as the defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars,

former teammate of Doug Peterson, going from one building to another, going elevated. Probably a nice move there, you know, just because everybody in the building. But Dennis Allen in power position good news speaking of power position we're in one right now on this beautiful stage oh yeah and joining us right now is a former MVP an Offensive Player of the Year three times Hall of Famer one piece of the greatest show on turf super bowl champion marshall fall yeah how are you man oh how you doing hey great to see you look at that hey how are you doing how

you doing hey hey how you doing hey you got those skater shoes all you skating you hit the board a little bit you live in san diego so it's just kind of part of life hey we're live right now i know i just don't want you to you know i didn't want you to be like, yeah, I'm the best skater to ever walk this earth and have to answer for that. You know what I mean? I'm black. All right. Obvious. Very apparent.

Hey, there was a couple, I think, big time black skaters in the world. Now, Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne. You said big time. He's a big time rapper, not a big time skater. He can skate. But we said big time. Yeah, he got truck rapper, not a big time skater. He can skate. But we say him big time.

Yeah, he got truck fit, though. He made his own skating brand. I mean, he is an influencer in that world. Man knows how to make money. Hey, maybe you next. I mean, freak athlete. Let's talk about this, Marshall Falk. The Rams are back in the Super Bowl.

Yes. This has to feel pretty good. As a Rams alum, one of the most notable Rams. Did you ever think this day was going to come after everything that kind of happened with the team when it got blown up after the last Super Bowl appearance? You know, just talking to Les Snead. And he was like, we're going to get it right. And they had to dismantle some stuff to get it right.

And normally it doesn't turn around this quick. As you guys know, you start getting rid of players. You start changing stuff. And it doesn't turn around quick. And this has been impressive. Do you think whenever you see Matthew Staff stafford whenever he got signed to the team out of cabo i believe right there down oh yeah sean mcveigh was all blacked out right he was with his representation matthew stafford all blacked out on his representation then they met at

the hot tub i believe they were both on either end of the pool they kind of get together down there come in there obviously a lot was given out do you remember at the time of that trade people said the lions won that trade they people said the Lions won that trade. They're like, the Lions won this trade. They picked up $100 million in Jared Goff, but they also got a bunch of picks. Now that we're in the Super Bowl, is this already a success, you think, for the Matthew Stafford trade? It is.

Did you expect this this quick? Let me say this. It's not a success yet. He has to win the game because right now he's exactly where Jared Goff got them. And when the trade happened, when the trade happened, Jared Goff had taken the Rams places that Stafford hadn't been. Yeah, you're 100% right. Go ahead, AJ.

What about Odell Beckham? Like his whole transition getting there, maybe took a couple games. Did you expect this? Like he seems to be – like the Rams are like Hollywood. They feel like this is what they should be. They have big-time players. They're in the Super Bowl. It's like a home game now.

This is what the Rams, I feel like, should have, like high-profile players. And Odell seems to be loving it. He and Vaughn, I mean, I love watching those guys post-game pressers. They can't get enough. Let's be real. We're laughing at the Cleveland Browns. You got it wrong. Cleveland, are we?

They shocked us. Let's be real. Well, especially after Jarvis Landry goes in there yesterday in that press conference. He goes, hey, man, we're all pulling for you. Hey, way to go, man. Way to get the hell out of here through a dad Instagram post. By the way, OBS deserves. Yeah, man.

GM. OBS maybe deserves a ring, too, whenever you guys win this entire thing. But he has instantly fit in here. What do you think it is about the team? Listen, I'm thinking, I'm like, in Cleveland, when they didn't have a Cooper Cup or a Higbee or a Jefferson, they couldn't find a way to get Odell the ball, and now he's fitting in and they find ways to get him the ball.

Like, with no problem. So let's talk about your career. You start with the Colts for four years. Going to be a guy. Then after four years, you get traded for a second and a fifth, we think. Something like that. Oh, still? What?

It was, yeah, it was something like that. I think it was a second and a fifth. Still, though. Still has a little, that felt like a little bit of a... Come on, man. You've been broken that whip before. But let's talk about Jim Mercer. You know you remember her name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're 100% right. So let's talk about Jim Mercer. You know you remember her name.

Yeah, you're 100% right. So let's talk about Jim Mercer because it sounds like you guys have come full circle in that entire thing. No, Jim and I was good. Jim and I was good. Bill Polian made the decision. That was more Bill Polian than the GM. How'd you find out? They called my representation and said, hey, we want to move Marshall.

Before it happened. So you knew they were working on it? Yes. Yes. They gave us, they said, and we're going to let you guys, like, try to find some suitors. And that was pretty much it. And I understood what the move was all about. I mean, I was, that year that Peyton and I played together, I was like 48 to 50% of the offense.

And they wanted him to kind of – they wanted it to be his team. Yeah, as did he probably, by the way. It didn't matter to Peyton. It really didn't matter to him. You think so? Yeah, it didn't matter to him. Because, listen, they immediately drafted Edgerton James. Hall of Fame as well.

Same kind of – yeah, same kind of back. You know, so it wasn't like it was a different dynamic they just and and here's here's where i know they did me a favor and i say bill polian was actually right the year that i retired was the year that they won the super bowl i would have missed but also let's talk about you go to st louis yeah but you want a super bowl yeah but that team could not have been that team with me on it. The Colts. The Colts wouldn't have been. Why is that?

It just was different. It was different. So what happens when you go to St. Louis and you fit right in, the greatest show on turf, you become a pivotal part, and then you guys win a Super Bowl. Is it just spite or just perfect? It looked exactly like what the Bengals look like right now. Okay.

You like this Bengals squad? I'm just saying what they look like right now and how they play and literally where we came from, the depths of where we came from, of the Rams, that's exactly – we were the Bengals. People were saying exactly what people are saying now about us. How long until they took you serious, though? I feel like the Bengals now – I mean, if the Bengals don't win, people still don't even – This would be like the Jacksonville Jaguars making the FC championship

if the Bengals don't go on and win. So, like, do people take you serious right away? No offense to the Bengals. They don't deserve that. They don't take you serious until you win the Super Bowl. Like, literally, people were still calling the Rams the lambs as we were going through the playoffs. And you win a Super Bowl and then the next year, because they're like, okay, that's the Super Bowl champs.

We got to knock them off. What year was that? 99. 2000. Hey, by the way, they didn't update that dome one time. Nope. I was just in there the other day. I was in there for the Royal Rumble the other day.

It felt like it was the same place. Marshall ran on this turf right here. I think Marshall ran on this turf. Probably the other day. I was in there for the Royal Rumble the other day. It felt like it was the same place. Marshall ran on this turf right here. Probably the same turf. Kurt Warner. Love that dude. So, true underdog story. The movie just came out. And we all assumed, and I assume you did as well,

although you know him a lot better than we do, but any time one of these things happens, the movie's normally incredibly corny, and it's like, okay, it's kind of mail it in, we get it, and then the practices are kind of bullshit, and then the game. Rave reviews for the True Underdog show. Do you think that's just because Kurt's story is so unbelievable as a person, or what do you think, why do you think it worked out as opposed to most of them that don't?

I think it's because you can connect what you're seeing with him. Sometimes it doesn't fit the person the movie explains a lot of his backstory and like i literally called a dude i mean i've watched i'm like you're the best man i know and i mean i'm talking we'll stay out with fans sign autographs take pictures do all i mean he does all the stuff that at times – like, I'm tired. I want to go in. Like, I had – we had two days. He's always that guy?

Always? He's always been that guy. And I'm talking about for a quarterback to have the career that he had and to never cuss in the huddle. Hey, you like that? You respect that? I'm just saying. Listen, either way way it don't matter

but but he was just consistent to say right he was consistent like he he walked the walk and he talked to talk it was like it was so consistent never really never really got down receiver ran the wrong route you did something wrong he wasn't the guy that was like berating you about doing something he just just a different kind of soul, man. That's awesome. Did you not want to disappoint him? Was it one of those things? Right. Like, we don't want to disappoint this guy.

Right. And it was just fun to play with him. Fun to play with him. Fun to watch. There's a lot of different styles of leadership, you know? I think I've kind of thought about this. There's like the people that lead by fear. Like, hey, you either do this or something's going to happen to you.

They either lead by example, like do as I do, not as I say. And then there's people that like befriend everybody. And it's like, hey, let's not fuck this up for this guy. You know, like there as I do, not as I say. And then there's people that, like, befriend everybody. And it's like, hey, let's not fuck this up for this guy. You know, like there's so many different styles of leadership. I enjoy hearing that, by the way. It's nice to know off the camera he's like that as well. He is. We had him on the show once.

He's still smacking the floor playing pickup basketball every single day. Now that's different. You get him on the basketball court. Hey, now he's going. Now it's a different – I think that's a different Kirk. Because a couple of times when we were working at the network, he came with a black eye. He's like, yeah, my son-in-law, he got me with an elbow.

I was like, Kurt, was it on purpose? He was like, you should have done that. He plays basketball for real. Really? Yeah, he plays prison yard rules like old school. He told us he did it so he can still eat pizza and stuff. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Marshall, a massive part of this Rams run has been Cam Akers coming back.

Have you had any conversations with him, and did you talk to him while he was? I have not, and I was just – I'll just tell you, I was impressed. You know, July you tell your Achilles, and you make it back by the end of the season. And, you know, normally guys, when they come in, they're kind of a shell of themselves. I mean, he has, like, second-level explosion. Like, you can see the difference between he and Sonny Michel. Like, he's a threat. And I think that dynamic, it's, man, they were missing it, and you didn't even know.

Sonny Michel did a great job, I'm going to say. He and Henderson, they did a great job. But Cam Akers is a different beast. Yeah, he's a dog. Cam Akers is a different beast. Yeah, he's a dog. Cam Akers is a dog. He's an absolute dog, yeah. And before we get to the great work that San Diego State's doing, hey, new stadium coming?

Hey, man. Hey, is that because of Matt Ariza, the punter? He got the stadium? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the guy that built the stadium, I assume. Oh, man. Have you talked to Matt?

Only on the internet. Never in real life. Yeah, good kid, man. Bomber. Good kid. Oh, I assume. Oh, man. Have you talked to Matt? Only on the internet. Never in real life. Yeah, okay. Good kid, man. Bomber. Good kid. Oh, my God. It's unbelievable. That sound.

You know that sound. He has that sound. It's like, boo. Yeah. God. He can do it. And he can kick as well. Yeah, and he's a monster.

He lays the wood a little bit, too, which I appreciate. He's great for the brand. Yeah, yeah. I can't wait to see him. He reminds me of an old school guy named Jason Elam. Remember Jason? Yeah. Jason Elam had that record for a long, long time. What did he end up in? Atlanta, I him. He reminds me of an old school guy named Jason Elam. Remember Jason? Yeah, Jason Elam had that record for a long, long time.

What did he end up in? Atlanta, I think. He was in Denver for a long time, then he ended up in Atlanta. Yeah, he was at Hawaii when we played against each other. He was a good athlete. Yeah, man, he could kick. Hey, let's talk about the Snapdragon Stadium, the multi-purpose Snapdragon Stadium. It's opening in September of 2022.

2022, man. Congrats to San Diego State. There we go. Let's go. And by the way, Congrats to San Diego State. There we go. Let's go. And by the way, how come San Diego State can't just go up with NIL happening? With San Diego being San Diego, every human I've ever met from San Diego says the best city in the world is San Diego. Is San Diego State on the map? Are we about to do this?

You're doing it. You're doing it right now. Keep going. I've never been. Keep going. I'm just saying. But boy, I've heard the weather is beautiful. There it is.

The beach is fantastic. There's never a bad day in San Diego. And although they took the Chargers out of that, to hell with that family. San Diego State is the new football town. Chargers leave, we get a new stadium. See what I'm saying? We're going to start getting guys from, like, Ohio State to come instead of going to. Yeah.

It's cold. Why do you want to go play in a hole? And also Ohio people, you know. Why would you want to be around Ohio people and come down and chill and wear vans? Just saying. We appreciate you, man. I'm sure you've got a lot of work to do this week. Yeah.

I hope you get a chance to enjoy it, though. The Rams are back, man. Your name is obviously synonymous with the Rams, and it doesn't feel like they're going anywhere for some time. No, they're building it the right way. They added some parts, but the core is built the right way. You get along with Sean McVay, you guys like sprinting against each other? Good dude.

Good dude, right? Yeah, he's shirtless in his pool doing his thing. You already know. We appreciate you so much, man. Ladies and gentlemen, an absolute superstar, MVP, first guest of us being here in L.A. Hell yeah. Marshall Ford.

Thank you. Yeah, Marshall! Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, Hall of Fame, absolute stud. A man who's one of the most electrifying people to ever grace a television. We obviously see him on NFL Network, and he's on there Thursdays and Sundays, and he crushes it and cuts promos. But this particular season, we got a chance to see he and Stephen A.

Every single Monday, it was magical. Ladies and gentlemen, double eights, Michael Irv. Yeah! What's up, dude? Hey, this is the big time, man, when I get on your show, dog. You know, hey, this is, this is that. I can call home and tell my mom, move those Super Bowl trophies aside. Put this picture right here, right there where it belongs, man.

What's up, my brother? Hey, we are incredibly honored to have you on. We know you're very busy. This has been an incredibly long season. I assume you're only home for like one day a week this year. How has it been? It's the longest season ever, 17 games, doing first take on Monday. How are you feeling?

Do you always have the juice? Dude, listen, man. This has been been? It's the longest season ever. 17 games, doing first take on Monday. How are you feeling? Do you always have the juice? Dude, listen, man. This has been quite a season, too. I heard you say I get a day home. No, I get about 18 hours, between 12, 15, 18 hours home a week, and then I'm back on the road.

Think about this. We got an eight and a half hour show Sunday. I try to complain about it. I try to think about it, but then I think my pops, Like, we got an eight-and-a-half-hour show Sunday. I try to complain about it. I try to think about it. But then I think, my pops, man, went on that roof and did real work. If somebody had said to my pop, you know what your job's going to be? You're going to have to sit around for eight-and-a-half hours and talk about football. You know what I'm saying?

That would have been a great job. So it removes all of my ability to complain. I'm just happy to be here. Hey, that's great perspective, by the way. We have very similar thoughts whenever we get to do the dumb things that we get to do. But watching you on TV is amazing. And I think immediately upon hearing that you and Stephen A. would be talking to each other every single week, we were very excited.

We were very, very excited for it. We watched along. How did you get into that? Was that an NFL Network and ESPN conjoined business affair? Because I saw the marketing of both. And do you think that'll continue? Well, you know, Stephen A is my boy, man. And we started way back together on Best Damn Sports Show.

Way, way back in the day, you know. So we've been boys since then. And, you know, he has this thing against the Cowboys, you know, and he just – I stink. You guys stink. You guys stink. You guys stink.

No, no, no, no. We always stink. We won 12 games this year. Yeah, you're right. We won 12 games this year. You're right. And then, Stephen, like most people when it comes to the Cowboys, they got that selective retention thing.

Like they're talking, Cowboys haven't won in 25 years. Okay, all right okay all right that's right you're right about that but we won five before then how many have you won something they don't even win one and they want to talk about where we don't thank you they just want to discount the five that we have and only talk about the 25 years that we haven't won one i say that's not history that's what I call your history. Real history says we got five, and you need to bring up one shoe. I've been in enough courtrooms, been on that winning stand to know, once you open up history,

you get all of the history. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but it does feel like that 25 gets talked about a lot more than the five, and I think it's because those five are a long, long time ago. And I think every year we get our hopes up. Every year we get our hopes up, Michael.

And I was told by Joe DiCamillo, special teams coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys at the time. Love Joe. Me too, by the way. Had a great workout. And he told me they were going to draft me. I was going to be a Cowboy. Okay, I grew up in Pittsburgh.

My dad, diehard Steeler fan. My mom, diehard Steeler fan. So going into draft week, we had to get past that. We're like, all right, I'm the Cowboys. I guess this draft week, we had to get past that. We're like, alright, I'm the Cowboys. I guess this is a thing. But I had a moment where I was like, man, I'm going to the smartest businessman in the NFL, Jerry Jones' team. I'm going down to Dallas where every game is going to be

on national television. It was cool. And then obviously you guys drafted David Buehler. I almost went undrafted. I almost had to go back to school. So my life was almost ruined by the Dallas Cowboys as well, and my hopes and dreams were. But whenever you talk about the Cowboys, it's always talked about because every week it's prime time. Jerry Jones is always on the mic.

It feels like he's always cooking. Is he as in control of the narrative and the business as we think from the outside looking in? And what is your relationship like him literally on a daily basis? I love Jerry, man. Jerry's a great man. Really, Pat. Seriously, man.

I can't thank him enough. Because think about this. Now, I'm the 15th of 17 kids, right? I get to Dallas, man. And, you know, Jerry comes in. He buys the team. The year after I get there, brings in Jimmy, my old coach. And what I appreciate about Jerry is every negotiation, Jerry made me come in and sit in the room. He said, Michael,

where you're coming from, I know you've never heard these kinds of numbers, but I want you to know so you can be able to take your family long after this. That's why I appreciate him doing little things like that. But listen, he's always on point.

He's always thinking business and moving things ahead. And the NFL is right here where it is right now, making the kind of money it's making because of dudes like Jerry Jones. Hey, $110 billion media deal. $110 billion. That's just the media, let alone the $45 nachos, Mike. Dude, I know.

Dude, they are. It is just not it. And then look this with this only blowing up even more i mean the nfl owners including jerry jones just had to be like i'm gonna have 14 to 15 more fucking yelts before too soon yeah well you sound dude and let me let me tell you what these jokers try let me tell you what these jokers try right dude when we were going through the pandemic oh my god i'm just they're gonna be mad i'm gonna tell you what these jokers tried. When we were going through the pandemic, oh, my God. They're going to be mad.

We're going through the pandemic. We're going through the pandemic. The NFL came to you. We want everybody to take a voluntary pay cut. Anywhere from $5 to $25. They gave us a raise. I said, okay, okay. I want to be a part of what everybody's doing. I want to be a part of it. I said so send it to father is volunteer paper

So so so so then they send the paper and they put it a 25% in there or something I'm like, oh no, that's volunteer. I scratched at 25 of course and put 10 That's great I got ready to send it back. They wanted us to turn it in, like, say, July 10th before 5 p.m. I said, okay. I waited. Did you lie 10th for 59.59?

And then I turned mine in. And then they were like, Michael, what'd you do? I said, well, I'm opting in at 10%. They said, no, no, no, no. They said, we had you at 25. I said, wait, wait, that's not volunteer. I said, who told y'all to put 25 in it? They said, well, we just went by how much you made. And the people that made more, we put a higher number.

I said, listen, stop this. I said, no, no, no, no. I'm opting in at 10%. I said, you don't want the 10%? Don't take it, but that's all I give I say if y'all want me to put in 25% and you won't give me the money and I go down there and pass it out to all the people that work for us and work right I'll go do that but what do they need my few dollars if you won't pass it all the way up I had just left Miami I said I saw all of those yachts lined up they don't need

my money man so just yeah i said 10 is what it is and that was it how are they asking me for my money wow listen got all that money right there and they knew they had that 130 billion coming and they still asking me in the middle of a pandemic what my money is. Hey, Michael. I say get out of here with that. Hey, that's why people are going to say that's why they're going to continue to only make more and more because there is no dollar left behind in those billionaires' minds.

And I like the fact that you redlined that thing, and I think the reason why you did is because one of the owners of the NFL Network had you sit in those meetings and be like, hey, if you don't like some shit, go ahead and change that shit. That is. So it's kind of their fault for even meetings and be like, hey, if you don't like some shit, go ahead and change that shit. You know what I mean? That is. So it's kind of their fault for even letting you in there, Michael. And you're staying at home for, what, 12, 18 hours a week?

Tell them 5%. If that was the voluntary amount, we appreciate it. I like that. I respect that so much. I like what you did. Go ahead, AJ. Hey, Mike. AJ Hawk here.

So the Cowboys next year, what are your thoughts? We thought they may lose both of their coordinators. Both of them turn out they're going to be back. Are your expectations pretty high on what Mike McCarthy and this team is going to do? Hey, what's up, man? How you just going to come up and say my age, you ho? Hey, that face, too. Hey, that big jaw.

You know who the hell that is. Man, like, we ain't never told us something before. I've done some stuff with you at NFL Network. I was telling some of these guys earlier how impressed I was watching you in person, in studio, just absolutely kill it. So I always love and respect what you do, Mike. Well, I appreciate that, man. Let me tell you something.

It would twist me out. I was talking about this Monday. I'm like, okay, everybody talks about the Cowboys were going to lose, maybe lose both of their coordinators, right, because they were hot commodities out in the market. And then when the Cowboys, when they all came back, everybody started saying, oh, this is a good thing that they got them both back,

because you know what they say, it's insanity to do the same thing and expect a different result. I said, are you joking? Are you joking? Only with the Dallas Cowboys can you get both coordinators back, and they turn that into a bad story. Oh, come on!

Come on! At one point, they had number one offense. They finished the season with the number two offense and total offense, number one in scoring offense. They were the number one turnover defense. These coordinators produced those

things. Now, yes, they lost in the playoffs after winning 12 games. This is not you bring those guys back and you move forward and try to add a few pieces here and there, and you try to get over the hump next year. That's a good thing. That's not a bad thing. Only the people try to make it a bad thing. It is what I call the people with the S.A. syndrome

It's the Stephen A. Smith syndrome I call it the S.A. syndrome No matter what The Cowboys go all In their mind The Cowboys are always bad players That's just that S.A. syndrome Hey, that S.A. syndrome though

In Texas when he came out with that cowboy hat Oh yeah Oh my That drug go crazy Oh, what an amazing moment there. But whenever you're talking about the Dallas Cowboys and people turning it into a negative, they always talk about everything the Dallas Cowboys do.

So, like, whenever, you know, Quinn saves his career down there and turns everything around, he's backwards hat guy, and he's got that defense from 32 to 18, right? They weren't even, like, top 10. 32 to 18, they're like, get this guy in the Hall of Fame, basically, because it is the Dallas Cowboys. And then Kellen Moore, what do you think needs to happen about the situational shit, though? Hey, there's a lot

of decisions that are being made in very crucial points. How do you get better at that? You think that's McCarthy? You think it's Kellen? Do you think it's Dak? How do you get better at that? Man, I don't know how, but they must get better. Must! And I can't take it. Mike McCarthy, man, he tries to come and sells this stuff to well We got down in there and when we got down up in the ozone

Get one throw to the end zone and then we don't get it We kick the field goal don't come out here and try to scadazzle us with some new word that we never heard on the football field like an ozone. You know, that's the kind of stuff that they got to get past. But I believe the Cowboys have enough talent that if you're putting up points on offense like they did early on in the season last year, and they continue to do that, then we can mitigate some of these issues right here no doubt they have to get better at them but right now if you can meet you you put up on the points you can mitigate it and stop telling me this is not another problem with the nfl everybody always wants to say well let's

get rid of them and get somebody else get who get what i mean the top the top 33 hardest jobs in this world are, number one, I'm going to give it to POTUS, but two to 33 are NFL head coaches. Who the hell are you going to get? Get who? You see what I'm saying? Hey, listen, I believe there's probably some surgeons and brain surgeons and heart surgeons.

Right after 33. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Michael, I hate to bring it up, but obviously the notorious QB draw to end the season happened. What did you do when you saw that? Did you destroy everything in the living room or wherever you watch it? And will that ever happen again, or is that just the worst play in the history of the NFL?

What do you mean, a QB draw? Yeah, I guess the Niners. When he ran into the ref, when he de-bowed Dak there a little bit. Yeah, but wait, wait, wait. All right, you say, oh, the last play for the Dallas Cowboys. It wasn't a bad play. It was just executed poorly. Of course.

It wasn't a bad play. It was executed poorly. So it wasn't a bad thought, I should say. Just executed poorly. You see, because if they could have gotten, he's right. And that's another thing that he tricked us with. Right? Talking about, well, we just think it's better to have two throws to get a good throw from the 25-yard line than a throw from the 41-yard line.

Yeah, we do, too. Everybody believes that. But what is it going to cost you to get to the 25-yard line? And it cost us those 13 seconds. Don't try to trick us with that. You see what I'm saying? Everybody wants that. Everybody wants it, but what does it cost us to get there?

And it costs us the game. Hey, one throw is better than, you know, just zero throws. Hey, this is like the classic, this is the analytics folks who say like six points is more than three points. It's like, well, three points, more than zero points. I mean, it seems like those stats never really get brought up.

Go ahead, Tone. Michael, Troy brought up after that game that I believe he said if the Niners were playing that defense against us, double eights would have had 200 yards at half. How come the teams, the offenses these days don't go, oh, our guy's better than this guy, and they just don't throw the ball, and they all have to stay inside of their offense? Or what do you think it is? Boy, let me tell you something, dog.

Really, really, you're rubbing on a scab. You know how much it hurts. But you're saying something to be truthful here. Because the reality is, Troy's right. And I'm going to bring this back up according to this game that we got coming up right now about that one-on-one. And that offense, when you saw one-on-one, when Troy came up as one-on-one, we put down the book. We ain't got to read nothing else. There's no more progress.

We're throwing the ball over here. And they did not do that. Now, Cincinnati does that all the time with Jamar Chase. That's why you see Joe Burrow comes up, and this is what's going to make this game so great. Because now when he comes up and he sees Jamar Chase one-on-one out there, it's like, stop reading. That's where I'm going with the ball. But this time, Jamar Chase is going to have Jalen Ramsey on him. So, boy, we're going to get some chicken licking finger good

stuff out here in that battle. That's going to be a great battle over there. And I want to see if he throws that ball out there. No, our attorneys always tell me I can't let a guy take you out of our offense because it messes with the minds of everybody on our offense. So I

got to get some recept passes to you early and often so our guys feel like we can dominate this game. That's the important thing. And let me tell you this. White guys don't go one-on-one anymore because all of the genius is in the head coach on the sideline. They don't want to just say, my man beat his.

They want to show that they are an offensive genius. They want scheme to be scheme instead of a man beating a man. It's their scheme that be his scheme so they can get a lot of money when they go argue for their money too. It is very interesting and I don't know if they're taking any voluntary pay cuts or anything like that and what they're all

offering up, especially in the coaching world, but it is always a massive compliment to the offense coordinator. Like, oh, that guy was drawn wide open on the play. Like, oh, he was drawn wide open or that decision was made. You're right. That is kind of put over. And that's how people are being hired now, too,

is because they are offensive geniuses and they're able to do that. But it feels like Zach Taylor was hired because Sean McVay was hired, right? And this guy stunk. Then it gets Joey Burrow, gets the entire new culture. Am I wrong in thinking this? We were talking about this before. It feels like Joey Burrow's an old school guy. And what you just said there about, hey,

if Jamar's one-on-one, in college we did this, in the NFL we're going to do this, we're going to go there. But everything about him feels like an old school dude. Is he not the perfect guy for Cincinnati, Mike? Perfect dude, Pat. Perfect. Because it takes, let me tell you what I call it, it takes a dude like

Joe Burrow to pull Cincinnati up. You need somebody with some stank in his tank, and that's what this dude has. He has some stank in his tank. To pull him out of that stank they've been in forever. That's what it takes. You got stank in the tank to pull you out of that stank, and that's what he's been doing.

It's been insane to watch it, man, to watch him fire up a cigar after the game walking with his shape y'all know he's dressed dressing all cool got on his brother like swag he got on brother like swag walk around the door and all this I mean hey he's eaten for Cincinnati he had that whole city believing. And think about how long. They messed with the Cowboys and said we hadn't won one in 25 years. Okay, but Cincinnati ain't never won. That might change.

That might change. I'm excited to see how they dabble and all that. But Joey Burrow feels like the perfect guy for Cincinnati. And he's an Ohio guy, so we all know what that means. An Ohio guy, we know exactly what that means about Joey Burrow. Probably going to talk some shit. Probably not scared to fight a little bit. And he will go off the reservation every once in a while if he really wants to.

If he believes he can do that. And I think all those things have been perfect for the Bengals. Go ahead, Ty. Michael, are you at all surprised at the immediate success that Odell Beckham's had in L.A.? Or is it a situation where he kind of was just always getting a bad rap or where he was at and when he's finally in a good situation with a guy who can give him the ball everyone who knows anything kind of knew

that he was going to shine but let me tell you why he's trying Odell fills off the vibe around him he's one of them what we call the megaverse dudes they fill the vibe you can't fill nothing in cleveland man cleveland man it was new york and la oh that thing got serious you know what i mean this is what

he belongs on this kind of market in this kind of market i always said people i tell people you sent him off to purgatory and now he has to wake up every day and look at hell and say, I'm going to go give my all. That's a hard thing to do. A hope. Hope. Just call Cleveland hell. Just call Cleveland hell. Hope will always dictate effort.

If you give a man little hope, he's going to give you little effort. If you give a man a great deal of hope, he'll give you a great deal of effort. In Cleveland, the hope was down. But now, in Hollywood, his hope, his dreams, everything wide open. And you're seeing the same Odell you saw in

New York. One of the greatest young talents back then, and now a great mature talent. Hey, you're one of the greatest talents in the history and now a great mature talent hey you're one of the greatest talents in the history of television i want to let you know that i i obviously admire your work greatly i watch on nfl network whenever you're on there thursday sunday mornings for eight and a half hours trap you're you're a grinder and you're electric we appreciate you so much for joining us this was amazing all right it's something I always say, man.

Hey. How you doing? Colleen. How are you? Colleen, the headset should work. I mean, we're not 100% sure. It looks really good. We don't know how to work any of it.

We don't deserve any of this. You're crushing it. What's going on? You working? You got TV over here? What's going on? No, I'm chilling. This is great.

Oh, so this is chill outfit right here. Oh, yeah. Hey, you came out and killed the game. We saw you. You did a couple interviews over there. There was a buzz following Colleen. We were watching this whole thing because we are set up in a position here, Colleen, where everybody is hearing our show, seeing our show, and staring at us.

So we have to do the exact same straight back. It's not necessarily as comfortable, but we are very thankful you're here. Well, this is awesome because you guys are on this like perch right now too. So you get to see everything that's going on. You get to see who's coming through. And Colleen, actually, funny you say that. Not just seeing everything. We actually, look at this.

I mean, that camera right there. L3. We've been able to, you know, just. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. We've been doing a lot of this. I don't know how legal this is and how long this will last, but as we have it, we need to do it. That right there, that's the ticket in Dallas.

Yep. That group right there gets a chance to interview. You can zoom in, too. Oh, yeah. I mean, I haven't been the most smooth. Hopefully, by the end of the week, I'll be able to do that. But, Colleen, whenever you're making your way from one TV set to another, bring in ratings to everybody.

There is an entire buzz following you. What do you got going on? What are we promoting? Good morning football weekend. Oh, yeah. Are we still going through the season, through the offseason? What's going on? No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no. I am done. This is my last good morning football weekend coming up this week, and then I'm doing game day final after the Super Bowl. That's going to be fun. Steve Smith Sr. will be there. Joe Thomas. Our whole TNF crew.

So we'll be on the field for that. It's going to be fun. How long is the show after the Super Bowl? No idea. I should know that for sure. No, no. You know what? It's a surprise, everybody.

We'll all find out together. You know what's interesting? You know what? It's a surprise, everybody. We'll all find out together. You know what's interesting? Because after games, as you're trying to wind down, a lot of the networks just cut off, basically.

And after the games, it's hard to find something. I think after the Super Bowl, a lot of people want to continue to watch. You should probably do massive numbers, I'd assume, after this game. I think so. That's hopefully the plan. But, I mean, that's what I did after both of the championship games. I just sat and I watched MJD talk some trash in his, like, Rams sweatshirt. It was really fun. So, yeah, we're going to just, like, post up.

Which way are you leaning right now? To the left. What? Oh, I see that. Respect. You actually are leaning hard. Yeah. It's a hard lean.

Yeah, I'm leaning to my right right now. Whenever you think about this game, though, are you leaning one way or the other? What are your thoughts on it? Have you bounced back and forth? I assume you like both teams. I have bounced back, back and forth. But the thing is, I feel like the Rams have the edge because of the pass rush and the offensive line. Oh, you think Joey Burrow's going to die?

Oh, no. I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm worried. thinks Joey Burrow's dead. Guys, I don't know if you've talked about this or heard about this. Has anybody talked about this yet? The Rams pass rush and the Bengals offensive line?

Is this breaking news? Hold on. We've been live for three hours and 26 minutes. We have not talked about it one time. We have not. So thanks for bringing it to the show. So that worries me. The fact that the Bengals have given up 12 sacks in these three playoff games.

Obviously, the Titans gave skews things a little bit with the nine. But I'm worried about Aaron Donald. I'm worried about Leonard Floyd. I'm worried about Von Miller. And I'm especially worried about Joey Burrow. So that's a problem. But I think that if Joe Burrow can have enough time to get the ball downfield to Jamar Chase,

then he might be able to make some of these big plays. Because Jalen Ramsey, yes, he doesn't shadow guys. And he does, however, there is some issues sometimes with the deep passing games. And we saw that with Mike Evans. He got burned for a long touchdown. Put on the ticker. Put on the ticker, guys. Put on the ticker.

Put on the ticker. That's a chip on the shoulder, Jalen Ramsey. He's going to hear us. I'm not going to lie. Put on the ticker. That's a chip on the shoulder, Jalen Ramsey. He's going to hear us. I'm not going to lie. I love the Bengals. And I have just been kind of falling in love with the entire team. Why? They shouldn't be here.

Is it like the underdog story? Why do people love it? I know Joe Burrow is a big part of it. What is it? The thing is, like, what? Okay, two years ago, the Bengals won two games. And then they drafted Joe Burrow. And then last year, Joe Burrow, like, what? Okay, two years ago, the Bengals won two games, and then they drafted Joe Burrow. And then last year, Joe Burrow, like, blew apart his entire knee.

It was like MCL, ACL, PCL, like all the L's. He was taking so many. A lot of ligaments. They only won four games, and all of a sudden, they're in the freaking Super Bowl. Are you kidding me? I love it. Are you going to say it on NFL Network or not?

What? Yes, absolutely. That the Bengals need an indoor practice facility. I am going to say it on NFL Network or not? Yes, absolutely. That the Bengals need an indoor practice facility. I am going to say it and I will say it right here. They need an indoor practice facility. Put it on the ticker. Put it on the ticker.

What has everybody been talking about as you go around? What is the most common question for Colleen Wolfe these days? You know what? A lot of people keep asking me about Philly because I'm from Philly. So I'm still getting a lot of Philly questions. Oh, no. I thought Pat was.

What's his deal? Actually, you said, I mean, in one interview, you had a throwaway line with us. What? You said, I'm from Philly, you're from Pittsburgh, kind of the same thing. And now AJ brings it up literally every single day. I don't know.

I'm not from there. Is it not the same? It's six hours different. It's very different. Have a little respect. Thank you. Thank you for educating me. It could be like

two different states. I'm not going to lie. But love Pittsburgh. Oh, love Philly. It's a beautiful city. Great food. How do you not have a Philly accent?

Did you have a Philly accent at one point? Oh my God, yeah. How do you work through that? They open the window. I got some tomatoes. It's very unique. It is unique. That's nice. It's very unique. It is unique.

That's nice. That's a nice way of saying it. Hey, have you seen this aluminum can? Is it water? No, it's not water. Is it water? Nice. We did it.

Hey, we did it. She's from Philadelphia. We did it. You know. She knows her pets. Oh, my God. Neither. Come on.

Dalsandro. We know. Nice. Wow. Hello. Hello, my new best friend. Every time. Listen, literally the same.

Every time. He says that every time. I do. Every single time Philadelphia gets brought up. You get everyone with that. I do. That's the way. I took it.

Hook, line, and sinker. You're from Philly. I know. We're not complicated people. Colleen, I assume you're headed to all the events this week. Of course I am. What's going on? What are the big parties that you look forward to?

This is one of our first times. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. So it's a little different, the party scene in L.A. It's dead out here, right? I mean, this city is dead. Last night we were driving through there, I didn't see a single person anywhere. No, uh-uh.

Well, I also heard that the Maxim party is in a parking lot somewhere. Maxim party? I don't know. In a parking lot? Oh, hell yeah. Because I think everything's outside. Oh, okay. I don't know. In a parking lot? Oh, hell yeah. I think everything's outside. Oh, okay.

I brought no longs. I only got tank tops. You don't own sleeves, right? Bingo. Well, I got a couple flannels. You know, I look like Brock Lesnar out there. I got a couple sport coats I got to wear on Friday nights, but I did not pack for... They're saying it's chilly in here. It feels good, doesn't it?

It's a little cold in here. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie i'm like covered up mostly so yeah um whenever you think about setting up a game uh for a show for a game and you got steve smith senior there who's just been burying people oh yeah and joe thomas who is a body bags all over the place biscuit train with gravy yeah gravy yep all those different when you're trying to balance all the different personalities what Bags all over the place. Biscuit train with gravy. Oh, gravy, yeah. Gravy. Yep. Right.

All those different, when you're trying to balance all the different personalities, what is something you go into or you just let it fly every time you go into a game or into a show? I mean, for me, the chaos is the most fun. The best part. I love, I hate when a show goes the way it's supposed to. Yeah, well, we got five hours rehearsal for something coming up here this weekend. My God. I had never done something like that in my life.

Is that real? What? It's scheduled, yeah. I mean, I'm afraid I've got some bad news. I'm not sure I'm going to be there. Do you guys do full rehearsals for all your shows? I hate rehearsals. I hate it.

Loathe rehearsals. I hate it. They're the worst. Because I don't like to give out any of my stuff. I got some back pocket stuff here. I need to see the genuine reaction. You can't go back to the well once you go that it's done. The moment's over.

You got to figure out new material. I hate rehearsals. Toothpaste out of the tube. It's done. So it's nice to hear that your shows don't do a lot of rehearsals. Then we can kind of. If we do rehearsals, none of us take them seriously. We had Irvin on earlier.

Is he still yelling somewhere? He's in a hotel. I thought he was going to be at SoFi. Why are you over here with us, by the way? Aren't you guys supposed to be at SoFi in those 8K studios? Yes. We have half of the crew is there. Half of us are here.

We're doing Super Bowl Live from here. Me and MJD. Is that what's over there? I think so. I don't even know where our set is. But MJD and I are doing interviews today. Yeah. Go ahead, Ty.

Colleen, so while we're out here, everyone knows the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood sign, that kind of stuff. What's one thing we should do if we're not from L.A.? Kind of like an underrated thing to do outside of Radio Row. We've been whipping around on those wheels things as of late. They're awesome. We've got a lot of meetings. We haven't been able to do that.

That stinks. Today, though. Today, we have meetings. My favorite thing, my favorite place go get a burger from hanano in venice it's like it's great it's it's dark there's some live music it's it's divy it's like you get great beers pitchers and the burger is super greasy and it comes with like the wax paper and the basket. It's great. What was your dreams when you were a kid?

Move to L.A.? Be a big movie star? No. I was a figure skater. Whoa! Hey! Really? Hey, there's a 15-year-old in Russia right now calling.

Oh, landed the quad. Oh, my God. My first woman ever. Oh, it was so amazing. I know. I was all over that. And she fell? Didn't matter.

Because she landed, what, two quads? Yeah, she was going for three. It was amazing. Oh, my God. She got up there and did the whole thing. She's 15 years old. If you have any daughters right now thinking about getting into figure skating, fucking send them to hockey.

Absolutely. This 15-year-old from Russia's got this thing locked for the next 20 years. And you knew it when she was warming up and she was doing all of her stuff. I'm like, oh, this girl's a machine. She absolutely is going to land it. She's crushing it. Yeah, she's 15, too. Is that normal in the whole figure skating world? Is that what you're saying? When do you start in figure skating? I started when I was like, oh, this girl's a machine. She absolutely is going to land it. She's crushing it. Yeah, she's 15, too. Is that normal in the whole figure skating world?

Yep. When do you start? I started when I was like five. Okay. Is that early mornings? 4 a.m., opening up the rink, turning on the lights, putting on like TLC. I mean, that's, yeah. That's that blue-collar-ness in the figure skating that we don't get to see.

Do you have dreams of making the Olympics? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. That's what I wanted to do. How far did you go? What was your max? Where did you go to? So, I ended up slipping three discs in my back. I get hurt all the time.

So, I was like in high school. What'd you do? Did you go for a triple whirlybird? Oh, yeah. I was doing, I was landing my doubles. I was working on triples. Like, it was, it was serious. You still skate? I do skate every once in a while, yeah. You get a hockey stick to play a little? You know, I actually worked for the Flyers for a little bit,

and they gave me a pair of hockey skates because they were like, this is like figure skating stuff. I don't know. So they gave me hockey skates, and I tried to go out there. And the rocker is like a lot different. You don't have the toe pick on the front. Fell flat on my face immediately. Did you take the stick and hit Gritty in the head with that thing?

I should have. Yeah, straighten those eyes out on that stupid mascot. What? Not to hell with Gritty. What's your problem with Gritty? Gritty's never going to see a Stanley Cup. Flyers stink. Yeah, they're the worst.

They stink. Oh, I'm not big on hockey anymore. So you could have just told us that the pen stinking it would have been okay that's what our hockey talk is for instance that guy's a fan of the Bruins

Bruins fucking stink that guy likes the Golden Knights I hate the Bruins bingo we all do Bruins suck it's cause you ain't sorry

no we hate you cause you stink no no you hate us cause we're gonna wipe the ice with the Penguins tonight actually Connor you said

you had a question for Connor yeah I do Colleen. Yeah, I do. Colleen, there's been a lot of talk about the Pro Bowl. That actually does stink. How do you think we fix it? What are we going to do next year, Paul? It needs to be more electrifying, Colleen.

I mean, how do you fix it? Honestly, I have no idea because I like the dodgeball situation. You know, I like a tug of war, maybe. Oh, like that one movie. Squid Game. Squid Game. Yeah. Maybe it's Squid Game.

Maybe that's what you do. It's red light, green light, and the stakes are just super high. Hey, listen, when that red light's up, you stop. You can't. You cannot move. Aren't people dying in Squid Games? Yeah, but we just put pads underneath. We'll put pads.

It won't be actual death. So violent. Break a bone, maybe, or something. Okay. We'll put pads. It won't be actual death. So violent. Break a bone maybe or something. Okay. For the Pro Bowl. They're scared to tackle each other because they don't want to get hurt. I don't think we should maybe just float out death. You can do a tug of war up here.

This stage is big enough to do a tug of war. This stage is too big, Colleen. Have you ever seen something like this? There's no way we deserve this. This is the most massive production that's here. I mean, this budget. You guys are doing okay. Let me tell you.

Well, it's not. We didn't build it. You weren't out here doing this? To be transparent, I mean, I did draw this design on a napkin. Take a picture of it, send it over, and the fine people at TVG and Zito were able to

piece this thing together. But yeah, I was a part of the building. Colleen, I know you have limited time. You have like 7,000 interviews. You're fucking calling. This is great, though. Can we get a score prediction for the game? And if you're right, we'll give away $15,000 in your name to

somebody on Twitter right now. Can I be the one on Twitter that you give the money to? Maybe. Hey, random. If you tweet hashtag PMS in LA and take a photo right now. The hashtag's PMS? In LA, yeah.

I love it. Okay. I'm going to go 31-27. This is definitely not happening, but 31-27 Bengals. Book it. Okay. 31-27. Put that on your ticker.

If that is the right score from Colleen Wolf, we will give away $15,000 to one person that has tweeted hashtag PMS in LA today. Colleen, you're the absolute best. Crushing it. Love you guys. Can't wait to see the post-Super Bowl. Yes.

It's going to be awesome. You know what? Just come by the set. I don't think we're allowed in the thing. They don't want you. Looks like us coming over there. Actually, you talked about that Maxim party. We didn't even know that thing was existing, actually.

We've been invited to no parties. I think it's mostly because of the tank tops. But this is where the party is. Bingo! Wherever you are. Wherever. Colleen Wolfe,

the former figure skater out of Philadelphia, now TV icon. We can't wait to watch you after the game. The chain. The chain. Top tier.

Me and you, right here. Hey, that's a great chain. Thank you. Thank you very much. That is a great chain. I would. Me and you right here. Hey, that's a great chain. Thank you. Thank you very much. That is a great chain. I would not wear this in a game. Why? Because I like it too much.

I don't want the snatch. Oh. Yeah, well, you just can't get into it with anybody. You have to know when you have things around your neck, like, okay, we're going to be friends today. We're going to do that. If there's any pipe off or talking that happens, straight to the chain is normally the case. That's how we did it on the ice, too.

Oh, figure skating? Yeah, come on. Those are my flowers. Wow. How about no flowers at the Olympics now because there's no fans there, that energy, we need it. Nathan Chen, by the way, about to go get it. Love him.

Love me some Nathan Chen. What makes him so good? I mean, he's got quads down, too. Oh, not actual quads, you're talking about. He's got great quads. He's got quads in the air. He's working out. He's doing the whole thing.

Well, and he's got that flow, too. The incredible performance piece of that time. Yeah. Which we're learning about a lot because they're putting a little scoring thing underneath the scoring thing. I even watched it. The Moxie scoring thing. I haven't seen much.

AJ, why don't you expand your horizon? I haven't seen much of him. I need to. He actually slaughtered the short program just last night. Oh, good. Unbelievable. Yeah. All right, Colleen.

Have an incredible week. We appreciate you for joining us. Thank you, guys. This was awesome. Have fun. No, you, Colleen, have an incredible week. We appreciate you for joining us. Thank you, guys. This is awesome. Have fun. No, you crushed it. We appreciate you so much. No, you don't.

I mean. No, yeah. All right. Thank you. We're actually changing the set over right now. Yeah. We were. I don't want to say this, but we were so excited for the Colleen Wolf interview.

We were actually waiting for you to get here to do it. And now, as soon as this thing's over, we got to go straight into hammered down. Counting down the hours until the biggest game of the year. The longest NFL season, 17 games, all the way into super wild card weekend, the divisional round, the championship game, and then obviously the drunk fest known as the Pro Bowl last weekend. We are finally at the top of the mountain. Who will be the king of the NFL?

Will it be Matthew Stafford in a superstar lineup representing this crypto.com city we are currently in right now? Or will it be Joey Burrow in the jungle bangles den of who day? Who had no idea or expectations after winning four games they could go to the Super Bowl, but this young crew has no clue what they're doing. They have no idea that what they are accomplishing is not supposed to happen for the stupid Cincinnati Bengals, who don't even have an indoor practice facility. The AFC champions are currently waiting for the lacrosse team to get done with practice at the University of Cincinnati

Bearcats indoor facility so they can go work on and install their third down package. What will it be? We will find out. We'll be here every step of the way live from Radio Row in the Los Angeles Convention Center. Brought to you by Crypto.com

All the boys are here at official AJ Hawk on all of the Twitters and Instagrams because there was a fake AJ Hawk and we had to get the official one. AJ, what is it like to be live and in person at the Super Bowl here in Los Angeles? I mean, it's pretty amazing. Obviously, being on this set, Michael Irvin, I mean, absolute monster. That was awesome. Everything he says is the best.

Have we ever seen Michael down? Has he ever had a down day? Never seen him off. Never, ever. Similar to you. You are always on fire, always have a ton of energy. If you put you and Michael in a room together for an hour, what's going to happen? I saw he was doing the week with Stephen A.

I was like, all right, I'm very excited about that. Does that open up any avenues for Michael Irvin to do other things? Because I believe he would be a hell of a contributor on a weekly basis. But the guy only gets 12 to 18 hours at home a week. He's been living like a rock star for the last 25 weeks or whatever. I'm sure he's excited to take a nap. Didn't lose any ounce of juice at all. We are very grateful for him.

At Tone Diggs, there's some big news coming out of Pittsburgh that should maybe affect your mental state and what the future of the Pittsburgh Steelers program is going to look like. Yeah, they are interviewing Louis Riddick. Monday Night Football commentator Louis Riddick is now getting an interview

to be the next general manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers after Kevin Colbert, who has been the GM for a thousand years, will step down after the next draft. Congrats to former player Louis Riddick. It would be absolutely shocking if they went this way. They already have two guys in the organization in Brandon Hunt, who's on the player personnel

side, and Omar Khan, who does the contracts, who've already got interviews at other places. So they are considered to be GM quality. And it seems like they're probably going to end up being one of the GMs of the Pittsburgh Steelers. And they rarely go out of the outside of the organization. No, he went to Pitt. He went to the university. He actually trained in that building.

And I love him. He's great. I love his analysis and everything, but he hasn't been in the league since 2013. I just don't see the Steelers. You sound like a hater a little bit. Obviously you sound like a hater. No, no, no. I just like the guys that they got inside.

The organization has been grooming under Colbert, who has been a great GM for 20 fucking years. Maybe we just go that route. Might even shake it up a little bit, though, Diggs. Yeah, you guys haven't won a playoff game forever. Watch it. Get a different perspective on it. I'm just saying, maybe you need to dabble with the new waters

to get that river flowing back into a championship-quality squall. Yeah. Kevin Colbert, though, is being tasked by himself with finding the next quarterback. I guess we have a question from Twitter Zito can pull up here. Hashtag PMSNLA. This is from Sam Squatch at JS Ruebaker. This is a big son of a bitch.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Sam is a big dude. Oh, yeah. This guy houses food. I'm talking meat. I'm talking sandwiches. I'm talking pizza. I'm talking everything.

He's what? What? He's holding a fish. This guy'm talking everything. He's what? What? He's holding a fish. This guy's going in and fishing for his food as well. Okay. This guy might be with Liver King right now. Hell yeah. Liver Queen.

Hashtag PMS in Liver Kids. Yep. Hashtag PMS in LA. Who's going to be the Steelers' next QB? Russ, Aaron, or Murray? I don't know who that Murray is. Kyler. Oh, because he took off all the Cardinals stuff off his Instagram?

Okay, so Kyler Murray has now been thrown into the mix of a potential quarterback on the move in this draft, drought, quarterback era that we are currently sitting in with a lot of teams needing a quarterback. Who do you think is going to be the next quarterback over there? They said they want somebody that can move. They said they want a vet, right?

Kind of at one point alluded to a vet. It seems like Tomlin wants a vet. What do you think, AJ? Is that where Aaron Rodgers is going? He was at your house sitting with some random woman at a fifth grade basketball game listening to a coach call to play football, football, football. In five, Columbus, Ohio, little girls in fifth grade started spearing the other team. And there was conversations about maybe that team being too physical.

That team was coached by you. Aaron was at your house. Is he going to Pittsburgh to be a Pittsburgh Steeler? I mean, don't you think Pittsburgh would love to have Aaron? Oh, there was an entire campaign happening throughout the entire season. They are in the AFC. If he ever did leave Green Bay, which I don't think he will, he would go to the AFC.

Do we have a ticker out here? It's right there. I hope so. Yeah, dude, we have a ticker. Yeah, we got a ticker. Great, sure, put on a ticker. He could go to Pittsburgh or he could not. We don't know.

No, on a ticker, you think he's going to Packers still? Yeah, I've said that. Yeah, but you just spent like four days. I've been strong on that the whole time. I think the Packers give him the best chance to win another Super Bowl, so I think he would stay there. I would want him to stay there. Obviously, I'm very biased, too.

Russell Wilson and Sierra saying yes to the Three River City. Do you think they fly in on that private plane, land at the same airport that we land at? It is always gloom, doom, rain and wind. It's always icy. Very nice people, obviously, upon landing. The answers are fantastic, but you think Sierra and Russell Wilson get off their private plane

at that same airport we get at and Sierra doesn't go down the steps, hit that shit, back up the steps, wait out of there. You don't think that's going to potentially happen? I don't think Russell Wilson's going anywhere other than big city, nice city, I think. Now, obviously, if the team's great, that is as well. Pittsburgh, though, you get Russell Wilson in there,

you get one of these great quarterbacks. Unlike Ryan Clark. Ryan Clark, who I have a lot of respect for. Ryan Clark hates Russell Wilson. Yeah, he hates him. As a football player. I don't know about as a person, but as a football player, we're talking about this guy like he's one of the greats.

He's not one of the greats. This is not what I said. This is what Ryan Clark said, and he tripled down. He was trending for, I think, 24 hours after saying this because I think a lot of people disagreed with him. But if he was going to the Steelers, you guys would be the biggest Russell Wilson fans of all time, right? You guys are pretty much welcome to anybody that can play quarterback at this point.

Pretty much anybody. Carson Wentz. Okay. You guys, Carson Wentz. Okay. No, he's basically Mason Rudolph, but with a little bit of running. No, he's Ben Roethlisberger, dude. He's Ben Roethlisberger.

He's the guy that can move, right? So he checks all the boxes that I'm looking for. No, he can't move, dude. He sprains both his ankles. He can, though, but when his ankles are healed now, he's good to go. I'm going to throw out a dark horse out there, and I think it might be just like a one-year deal type thing. What's after this?

Maybe Marcus Mariota for like a one year, because I know next year's draft class for quarterbacks Is much much better So if Mariota ends up doing well But he is mobile, he's a veteran He could get a second chance, I don't know And if we do recall He got to play one quarter when Derek Carr

Blew his groin out of his leg Looked unbelievable And dropped a dime to Darren Waller Ran some people over Brought some juice We thought he people over. Brought some juice. We thought he was going to be a highly sought after veteran free agent. Instead, he re-signed with the Raiders. And we're like, what is he doing?

Go be a starter somewhere. He wanted to learn one more again around Derek Carr. That's right. Or what about another mobile guy maybe who was really good for a year or two. And then he stunk. And who knows if it was Mitch Trubisky's out there. How come nobody's talking about Carson Wentz and the Pittsburgh Steelers? He's still under contract with the Colts, right?

Yeah, but I'm sure that conversation could be had. Nobody wants Carson on their team. I'd rather have a guy with a second chance than a third chance. Shades of Big Ben, though. Shades of Big Ben. I mean, if we're talking. Those glimpses of big lumbering white, extending plays. What do you look like?

What do you lumber? He had both his ankles playing along. I mean, he legitimately was running like this at one point, extending plays. What did he look like? What are your numbers? He had both his ankles hanging off. That's right. I mean, he legitimately was running like this at one point. And then he was throwing with, he looked like those mogul skiers.

Yeah. His ankles were just like next to each other. And since the Colts have that all white Spanx costume down below, it literally looked like an entire thing.

And then he was falling and he threw seven picks that were dropped early. It was unbelievable. Almost set a record. There was one half where I watched Carson. And Carson's a fine gentleman, by the way. That's right. I don't know how his parents survived watching him

play football all these years. Oh, my God. I have no idea how they survived, honestly. It is... Carson is a cardiac arrest on the field as a fan. Every play could be a touchdown. Every play could be catastrophe game over. Yeah.

There's a chance in the fourth quarter of a game against a division rival that you need to win. Backed up. He is going to actually be in the middle of getting sacked by seven people. Yep. Still try to make a play. Toss ball to left hand. He's right handed quarterback, by the way. And this is after he sprains both of his ankles.

And he will try to shot put that thing, and it will end up in a linebacker's hands, and it will be the shortest pick six in the history of football. All right. The guy caught the interception in the end zone. I recall. I remember the play. Unbelievable. It was a handoff almost.

But he had a zero-yard pick six, this guy. Okay, it's a record. It's in the history of anything. But then, next drive, he puts ball on ground He had a zero-yard pick-six, this guy. Okay, it's a record. It's in the history of anything. But then, next drive, he puts the ball on ground while falling. Okay? Stands up, throws it into quadruple coverage. We get a catch first on Hayden.

Let's move to change. Very similar to how Ben Roethlisberger was back in the day. Although Ben Roethlisberger didn't have as much risk, you know, as it appears Carson is okay to dabble with, both with his body and the football, the program. They do have similar qualities. Maybe let's get Carl Wentz. How many ones do you guys have this year?

How many what? How many number one overall picks? One. Come on, bring that on over. You guys get Carl. The only way I feel like that would be a legitimate trade is if it was Mason and Dewey for Carson. Deal. We're cutting both of them.

What are we doing? I'll do that deal. Sign me up. You take his entire contract. Glenn Humplick, you're telling me you want Carson Wentz on the Pittsburgh Seals? You watched him all year. I've also watched a lot of Mason Rudolph.

Is he here? He's a big Hollywood guy. I watched a lot of Mason Rudolph. That guy's – Hey, there's – Is he here? He's a big Hollywood guy, isn't he? Oh, yeah. I don't know. He's probably out here. Yeah, I don't know. Mason Rudolph. Is he really?

He's the guy that got the helmet hit off his head. Yes, I know who he is. He's a big Hollywood guy? I don't know if he's a Hollywood guy. Yeah, I think he's – I've seen him at TMZ. But for real, though, if the Colts don't want Carson Wentz, though, if they don't want Carson Wentz, they're in a tough spot.

What do you do? How much is he owed this year? 15. 15 dead, Cal. Oh, that's not bad. No, 15 dead. Dead, okay. 27 or something like that. Right.. What do you do? How much is he owed this year? 15. 15 dead. Oh, that's not bad. No, 15 dead. Dead, okay. 27 or something like that.

Right. But what do you think they feel like with Carson? Jim Mercy's cutting promos in front of Boeing 737s with the big Colts horseshoe on behind him. And he's saying, we'll get better, brother. You know? We're going to get better. And then Chris Ballard's like, at the time, bringing in Carson was the right decision. And then Frank said, you know, we're going to have to re-evaluate everything.

This is a vastly different conversation piece. And I think it all revolves around a guy that flies team planes by himself. And that's Jim Irsay, honestly. Is Mariota like the kind of guy you could bring in and say, okay, maybe this guy will come in, push Carson, give us some juice if he does go in. Maybe he comes in and revitalizes his career.

I don't know. It seems like they're stuck with Carl, unfortunately. But Pittsburgh, everything you said about it, we know who's the quarterback there, and it's Paisan Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh, hey. That would be nice. Jimmy G would be perfect in Indianapolis, actually.

Yeah, but unfortunately, you know. What? You guys got your guy for at least one more year. What are you talking about? You got the opt-out after next season. That's what they'll do. Oh, the salary cap's $205 million. We got like $40 million up, and we ain't worried about

$15 million. You think Jim Irsay, who just bought some drum set for $75 million, is worried about a $15 million dead cap? Of course, he ain't. He's not at all, and I think to your point, he looks at this team and realizes, hey, with the quarterbacks in the AFC right now,

we're not going to a Super Bowl with Carson Wentz. We're just not. So if I can get one of these guys who is one of those guys who can take us to a Super Bowl, we're ready to go everywhere else. How many of those guys are out there, though? There's four of them available right now, especially if Tyler Murray's out here sending DMs to teams. Did anything more come from that, from Kyler?

No. He unfollowed everything with the Cardinals. Go ahead. And he reposted, the only thing he's done is he reposted Mike Evans' touchdown, Tampa Bay Buccaneer. Also made a quarterback. Florida Kyler. That's right.

Are we going backwards hat Kyler? Florida Kyler. What about Ian? Does Rappaport or anyone have any kind of inside info on what's going on? Well, Rappaport's all boozed up. That's right. Rappaport, hey, hey. Once he sobers up.

Is this camera? We need him. Is this camera? Where's his camera? This camera? You're right there. Yeah, there it is. Hey, Rappaport, why don't you get sober for four or five minutes and find out some goddamn news? Yeah, we need him. Is this camera? Where's the camera? This camera? You're right there. Yeah, there it is. Hey, Rapport, why don't you get sober for four or five minutes and find out some goddamn news?

Yeah, please. Back to the program. That's weird, though. I know it's stupid that it's a story if someone unfollows their team and all this stuff. Well, it happened with Julio Jones, and it was true. But it is a thing. It's a real thing in 2022. Well, not just in 2022.

Ever. So let's say back in the day before there was social media, and you blocked somebody's email or publicly stated that you didn't like people, that would be a statement as well. Whenever you delete somebody off your social media, that is a public statement of how you feel. So I understand people are like, oh, this is so 2022. You could be trolling them too. You could also be trolling people.

Bingo, could be, but then you come out on the other side of it. But people saying this is so 2022, I feel like something like this has been happening for a long time. This is just the modern way of doing it. And Kyler, he gave us a great interview. Yeah. I don't know how he is and everything. I don't know if he's, like, as outspoken as people say.

This is certainly, you know, way of shocking. Now, is it because the potential news we heard behind the scenes over there at Arizona with what was going on with the fuckery business-wise? because the potential news we heard behind the scenes over there at Arizona with what was going on with the fuckery business-wise. Like, is it potentially the coaches saying, like, hey, this place is – how can you trust anything going on? Oh, you mean because the coaches haven't been paid their bonuses? Is that what you're saying? Bingo.

When are they supposed to get paid? We don't know. Is that a story? We don't know, but we have heard it from numerous people that there is a story potentially brewing between the coaches and playoff bonuses maybe not receiving it from the owner. That's a big deal. For sure.

And Rap Sheet just told us earlier this week, like, hey, Cliff and Kyler are very close, so it is possible that maybe he's like, hey, you know the fucking bullshit they're pulling behind the scenes here? Can you believe this shit? And Kyler's like, you know what? Fuck it, I'll go play baseball. I'll play for the A's.

Oh, you think maybe baseball. That's what you're hoping for the sport that doesn't even have a league right now. You guys don't even have a league. He's going to FaZe Clan. FaZe Clan. They're actually competing. The MLB ain't even competing. Don't even have a lead. He's going to FaZe Clay. They're actually competing. The MLB ain't even competing. Don't even worry about that. But you think Kyler walked his way

into that drug lord house that Cliff lives in and Cliff came walking him with his tiny little legs in front of that entire backdrop. He was like, listen to this shit. He told him the entire story. They lit that little fireplace that he had in the inside.

He went out to the pool, and he said, fuck this place. And Kyler said, you're right, I'm going to go delete every Instagram post. Is that what you guys think may be happening? I think it's certainly possible. Or maybe Kyler said, you know what, just to fuck with him a little bit, I'll delete every Instagram. Make him sweat a little bit. I'll put a little.

They're saying you have no leverage because you're lucky to be a head coach and the way the season started with how it ended. Like, you guys, Here's a little leverage. I'm all playing. How about that? I'll delete every fucking one of them. Let me know, Cliff, if they ever call you back and give you a goddamn bonus. That would be so gangster. That'd be like the most NFL quarterback thing an NFL quarterback

could ever do. Taking up for your team, your coaches, and everything like that. It would bring you and your coach much closer, even though they already are pretty tight. Well, we don't know, right? Are they tight still? Yeah, I'm not sure. We don't know anything, really.

No, we don't. Yeah, hey, that's most of our job. Yeah, everybody's doing it. No one has an idea. Yeah, we don't know shit about fuck. Rabshy's been boozed up for, you know, three weeks. Of course we don't know anything. Yeah, he's the one supposed to get us this information.

These insiders play a vital role, and I know that they're always on their phones. Their family lives are probably terrible. They get probably very anxious. They get things wrong. They get death threats. They break bad news for teams that is just news they're being told. Those teams' fan bases hate them. We get it that the insider gig is not an easy one, okay?

But there's only like six of you. Got to do it. By the way, Ari Mirov, MySportsUpdate, just met him. He's trying to dabble in those waters too. He was a real estate guy. Really? He was just doing it as a hobby, and then he started getting good at it. He's trying to dabble in those waters, too. He was a real estate guy. Really? He was just doing it as a hobby, and then he started getting good at it. He's like, now he does it full-time.

I'm like, hey, Ari, we need you to keep climbing these ranks because there's stories that we don't know about that should have answers at some point. He's here working. He's not at La Cha Cha Booze Dope. Well, Ian, I think he's expected to be on TV every other 20 minutes for the next 10 days. We can't even trust what he says from the Cardinals because we know who he is speaking for.

I don't know because sorry, but we know Rap Sheet is speaking for the Cardinals owner. Okay, thank you. Yeah, we do know that he is potentially speaking on that side of that thing. But for all these stories, like I mean, Seattle, Ian gets it on the shins

for the Seattle stuff. Oh, yeah. And I'm in the mentions for that. It gets ugly. Really? Yeah. What did he do to upset them? What does this guy do? So whenever Ian said that Russell was, you know, he was okay with looking around,

maybe seeing what's available out there. The Seattle Seahawks go, this rat, you know, Ian Rattaport. They start coming out. He knows nobody. And then whenever he started chatting about that meeting with the new owner and her making decisions in there and everything like that, and he said, well, I didn't have somebody in the room, but what I heard from it, and then all the Seattle Seahawks fans was like,

this bastard, he's not even in the room. Now he's reporting stuff. So I think the insider game comes with a lot of conflict, potentially, because you're bearing the bad news. But if Russell Wilson's on the move, there was a lot to do last offseason. Chicago Bears actually flew to South Dakota or North Dakota to make an actual offer to get Russell Wilson out of there. Pete Carroll and Schneider turned that down.

If he moves, Aaron moves, Deshaun moves, Kyler moves. This comes after Tom Brady just took his ass down there. Matthew Stafford went to L.A. and had success. Tom Brady goes to Tampa, Super Bowl. Matthew Stafford says, get me out of here for the first time in 12 yearsord went to L.A. and had success. Tom Brady goes to Tampa, Super Bowl. Matthew Stafford says, get me out of here for the first time in 12 years. Goes to L.A., Super Bowl. You don't think these other quarterbacks are seeing this? You are out of your goddamn mind if we're going to act like they're oblivious to that.

No, they absolutely see it, but what are their options? How much power do they have? What can they force, and where do they want to go? And be who you can afford to be, I guess, right? Yeah, that's another thing, which all these big-time guys, yeah, they can do whatever they want, really. But be who you can afford to be, I guess, right? Yeah, that's another thing. Which all these big-time guys, yeah, they can do whatever they want, really. But, man, I just don't know. I don't know if we're going to see as much shakeup as we think.

Well, that's, by the way, that's every trade deadline. But, I mean, one or two of these guys move, it's a big deal, though. Trade deadline stinks. We waited. We waited until four. We stayed live for an hour doing nothing. Dead air, sleeping. Oh, there's big moves coming out.

This team needs to build their roster to make a playoff run. Not shit. One day we had a tornado drill for a half hour. That's right. Fire alarm. Almost died. We went underneath our deaths. Yeah, you wouldn't know anything about it because you're up there in your attic trying to burn that thing down.

Attic's not real safe for tornadoes. You might have been on vacation, actually. Yeah, that's why I remember you doing that whole vacation every other day thing. Yeah. You remember that? You missed like 14 of the first 12 days of our show. Yeah, I was nuts. During the season. Yeah. Yeah, good for you.

Oh, you have any official rules? That's what he was about to say. Do you have the official rules? No, no, believe me. Trust me. I wish you knew how upset I do get when I feel we have stuff scheduled that we commit to. Trust me. It gives me... I get upset. But I don't... I don't have control of a lot of different situations.

AJ, you have three to four meetings planned this week. I don't know. But yeah, me and Connor are actually going to rent some of the bike scooter things. We might go to the Hollywood sign, man. It'll be fun. You're going to be the only people on the streets, I think. There's nobody on the streets. This is wild. We can really open it up going to be the only people on the streets, I think. Wish you could come with us. There's nobody on the streets. Yeah, I know. This is wild.

We can really open it up. There's nobody in cars on the streets. There are other people around L.A. who might just be kind of hanging out. The street sweepers are going to get rid of them before the game, for sure. Maybe. For sure. What are you guys talking about? The bums.

Yeah. The villagers. They tried to get them the hell out of here, and they're starting to kind of come back, and it's just a matter of time until they say, I thought I said I wanted these fuckers out of here. I want to let everybody know that this is not what this conversation should revolve around, but we really don't have much else to talk about. And we're an observational show.

Yeah, yeah. That's right. Observe and report. That's right. It is hard not to be like that. I just want to let you know with how my brain works, basically everything is research for the show. Yes.

Everything is research for the show. Yes. Everything is research for the show. Whatever happened. Ursula at National, here a local car runner, she had no idea she was research for the show. She's the one that said, nah, they don't need four cars. That has to be a glitch. I'll give those things away. So when they arrive, they're fucked.

All 12 of them have no cars at all. Ursula obviously made that decision. And then she talked to me like I was the asshole when I was stranded at an airport last night with all the boys with a lot of bags and everything. Research for the show. Everything is research for the show, basically. So whenever we're talking about stuff and we're seeing

people pick up their homes and move them back into bridges that were cleared out last night or two nights ago, we can't help but report that it seems like they are trying to move back in a little bit closer and we did kick them out of the bridges. And by we, not us. I'm talking about the entire situation happening.

There's a lot of people moving back in. I'm excited to see the kind of ebzion floj of the community underneath that bridge outside this place. Me too. And it's terrible, but I kind of get it. Because last night we were coming back from the gas station getting some snackies. I saw a homeless guy eating poop out of a garbage can outside at midnight. I was like, well, no wonder they don't want this going on downtown. That was messed up.

Wasn't it? Yeah. Hey, I want to let you know, we saw some zombies last night barefoot. Oh my God. Some sweet dance moves. It was absurd. I don't think those were dance moves. I think that was just natural convulsions. I appreciate their passion. Can we not save all of them? We are going to donate all the mattresses that we bought yesterday to the community down the street from us.

It's very nice. Was it their own turds, Ty, or somebody else's? I don't know. He's fishing them out of a dumpster. So, I mean, I guess he could have done it earlier. Is this real or are they messing with me? I didn't see them. I wasn't there either.

We just saw the people dancing. This is very real. And Pat mentioned L.A. is kind of its own state. Pat mentioned L.A. is kind of its own state, but what he didn't mention is the shanty villages inside of that state that kind of make their own community, and unfortunately they do eat poop and trade paperclips as a kind of currency. Yeah, but they're tough. They just survived an entire pandemic.

Gritty. Gritty bunch of people. Don't get me wrong. Maybe we will give food, but then we're told not to do that because, I mean, it's just an entire scene Because these things talk to each other So if there is a chance that you know Jesus

Let's move along That's a terrible What the village is That's absolutely disgusting You should take that back I'd take back what I said But the communities talk to each other. There you go.

There's an estimated $7.61 billion that will be wagered on this Super Bowl. Super Bowl 56, Cincinnati Bengals playing against the Los Angeles Rams. Rams higher seeds, they're home, I assume, anyways, right? No, the Bengals are the home team. How? How'd that get decided? I don't know if it's rotating now, but the AFC was the home team this year. I can't remember.

It might be rotating or something. Oh, it's because the AFC won the Pro Bowl. There you go. I don't think that's it. No, no. That's not. No, they changed that for this year, I think. Oh, did they?

Yeah. Could you imagine if that's what the home field advantage was, or home designation was decided upon? It was that Pro Bowl game that you said. Baseball did that for like five years. Yeah, but that's in the middle of the season when everybody still has a chance to make it through. Baseball stopped that, though? Yeah.

There's a lot of people talking about the Pro Bowl, fixing the Pro Bowl. And they're talking about how, you know, I'll make it a designation for the AFC or NFC, whoever gets the home designation or whatever. It's like, well, nobody playing in the Pro Bowl cares about Super Bowl. Because they're not in the Super Bowl. That's why they're playing in the Pro Bowl. Who cares if you're home or away in the Super Bowl? Nobody really. It's just depending upon your scoreboard

setting and also uniform. I assume uniform selection. Uniform selection you probably get to do. There is a little bit of an advantage. Bengals will be wearing that black, they said. They're going to be looking clean in 8K in sofa.

Man, I was going to get something. in 8K in Sofa. Man, I was going to get something. It was really good. I get seven points. You can see it coming. No, what were we there before there? Where was that right before that? I'm talking about the Hogan away team. No, yeah, the Pro Bowl deciding.

Boom, yeah. People were saying that the two worst teams should play against each other to see who wins the number one overall pick. Do you know 45 people from those teams that are in the potential conversation for first pick or second pick? Probably off that team. Probably gone from that team forever. So, I mean, it's going to be a little bit difficult for those people to care. I don't think there's any way of fixing the Pro Bowl other than just making it a skills challenge forever.

Agreed. It's got to be. Skills challenge. Get back to the 225 bench reps. Yes. I know guys are worried about Taron Peck. Put money on it, though. I agree 100% because that is very fun to watch.

Dip the balls in the chalk. Throw it off the moving targets. All of that stuff is awesome. I mean, Russell Wilson is probably going to win that after the 29 points we've seen him at that Skills Challenge. But if we put that entire quarterback challenge, we have the bench press, the fastest person, and put up a million bucks. Throw it as far as you can. That was sweet. The guys can throw a ball 100 yards eventually.

We saw the other one that had Peyton in it. Yeah. Brady. Tom Brady was in it. Brett was in it. Jeff Garcia. Jake DeLong. All the big names.

Matt Hasselbeck, I think, was in it one time. He was, yeah. I think Matt Hasselbeck. Carson Palmer. All the big quarterbacks were actually competing against each other and pissed when they lost. Yeah. We need to get that back.

You know how we get that back? Money. I hate to break it. It's all about that bread. I mean, you saw Justin Jefferson was in here earlier gritting his ass around this entire place for Old Spice. He literally said after the dodgeball game, we got this trophy and we got this bread.

And they literally looked at everybody and they were like, yeah, that's what it's all about. So until there was actual cash prizes up on the line, I think you're going to see minimal effort from everybody. And people are going to see minimal effort from everybody. And people are going to say they're rich athletes. They should be. We concur.

Okay. But Mo Money is good money to anybody who has any money. Even if you have no money, Mo Money is good money. So that is just something I think should happen and match it to a donation. There has to be some sponsor that would be willing to put up the millions and millions of dollars, cash prizes in, maybe donations or whatever. There has to be some company that would do that. I think that's how we fix that thing going forward. There was a tweet earlier today.

I can't remember who tweeted it out. But they said, free agencies in a month. Do you think that we're actually going to go play out there in this game and risk getting hurt and losing all of our money? Zero chance. No way. It didn't used to be like that. We shouldn't expect them to.

Deion Sanders, yeah, none of us expect it, but even when we watch it, we go, this is a disgrace. This is worse than I thought. This is worse than I remembered. Does it get worse every year? That's what we do every single thing. And I think, by the way, all those are yes, yes, yes, yes.

Deion Sanders said, I want a motherfucker to know I was prime. No matter when I was playing, he went out there and did it. It was a much different day then. I think we knew a lot less about contracts and potential damages and other opportunities that could come from a game that means absolutely nothing when the world has evolved and what matters, what doesn't. When you went and played in yours, because it seemed like before this one they had a conversation, hey, you touched your down.

Was there a conversation before that game about how it was going to go? So I think there was a pretty good understanding on those things. J.J. Watt, though, he was trying to win understanding on those things. J.J. Watt, though, he was trying to win the truck. J.J. Watt was trying to win the truck. He was trying to catch a touchdown. Clay Matthews tried to block a fucking punt. That guy. What's his problem? He's playing hard, man. No, he didn't play hard for any other snap.

I honestly don't. I'm sure Clay thought it would be hilarious to block a punt of yours in the Pro Bowl. He hit me right in the shin. I mean, he should have. He knew you were a tough dude. Nobody blocked. Nobody blocked. Didn't even practice blocking.

There's no pick-up football. Football, if you're wearing pads and helmets, you're either hitting or you're not. There's no in-between like other sports. Basketball, you only pick up basketball. They just do it on the Pro Bowl. There is in-between. It looks terrible. That's what I'm saying.

You can't really do it. You can't half-ass football. That's the hard thing about it. I don't know what the answer will be. Look at this fucking guy. Yeah. He's going low, too. He knows what he's doing.

Yeah, he knows what he's doing. He didn't go low enough. He hit me, punched me. Ari Mirov at MySportsUpdate walking through. But literally, he punched me right in the shin. Did they call a penalty? No, nobody cared. Pro bowl.

What's the rule now in punting? If you're running into the kicker, is what? Left leg. Plank leg. Okay. Roughing is kicking leg. Gotcha. What's the rule now in punting? If you're running into the kicker, it's what? Left leg. Plate leg. Roughing is kicking leg. That's 15, right? That's 15, yeah. Does the partner get a penalty for flopping on that?

First of all, never. Okay, just so you know. You should. It's not cheating. You should do that. No, I guess you should, yeah. It helps your team and all that. But also, you've got to look in the mirror, too.

So, I mean, there is an entire middle ground there. What if it wins you a Super Bowl? Well, I did get a first down in a playoff game, I believe, after getting absolutely slaughtered. I only got a couple of these calls, and I got hit, I think, on a regular basis. Honestly, you're too big. Like, you're big legs, you're a big dude. You're smaller, you get more calls.

And I don't like to go down either. Like, I don't want people to think. Yeah, Pittsburgh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Rust Belt. Thank you. Anyways, I did get a couple of big first downs, and downs, and I would say how unselfish I am.

I was up for the Ray Guy Award our last game. I don't know. I hit like an 80-yard punt, but I got blasted in the middle of it. Inside the 20 as well. I think my average would have won up like maybe a yard and a half at the end of the season. Another inside 20. Probably would have won the Ray Guy. Actually not, because Ray Guy was friends with the coach of the guy who ended up winning anyway.

So there was a little politics, backdoor action going on. That's why you don't really hear me put over Ray Guy much, because he made me, my dad, and my mom waste an entire evening. But what I'm saying is, there's moments like that where actually getting the punt off is better for you than getting, you know, absolutely flopping around looking like a sock. Like, there's some kickers and punters that flop around that I'm like, all right, I will never talk to that human ever again. Can't do it, AJ. Honestly, can't do it. There's a way to do it, I think, and a way not to do it.

Don't you think? No, there's a time to do it. Yeah, I agree. Like it's different than like basketball flopping is not the same as football flop. Like if you can get a 15-yard penalty, that is gigantic for your team. Yeah, I agree. So you can't really like, I can't fault a guy if it works and you get the flag. Some people are really good at it. That's just like some soccer players are really good at it. Yeah, soccer is. So you can't really, like, I can't fault a guy if it works and you get the flag. Some people are really good at it.

That's just like some soccer players are really good at it. Yeah, soccer is the craziest to me. Like, are they just trying to buy time? What are they trying to do? No, they're trying to get penalties. Yeah, draw penalties. Trying to get a yellow card or whatever? Yeah, I think so.

And what's the yellow card do for that guy? Well, one more to that. Okay, so it's nothing, though. Just a warning. No, it is something. It's a step. It's a warning. He's like, okay, I won't do that again.

No, this is like just taking a walk, taking one step. You've got to get to the second step to get that person the fuck out of there. What do I do to get a red card right away? Oh, you've got to do something serious. Bought a guy, draw some blood. Yeah, right in the chest. Zidane Zizou actually had a guy right in the chest. So that was a red card.

Yeah, the guy bit on a guy. The guy actually bought a guy. That'll get you out of there. It's egregious stuff. It's egregious stuff. Okay. Just like in basketball, I mean, you get the guy his first foul, and then you get him his second foul, and then he's eventually.

Yeah, but flop and ruin basketball, flop and ruin soccer. I agree. I don't like the fact that it's gotten into some putters. AJ used to be pretty good at it, actually. Like, you know, after a play, a guy would put his arm on him, and he'd do the fall back. I had a great flop against the Bears one time. I jumped.

I was legit messing around, joking. Dude pushes me. I jumped over the pile, got the flag. I was like, that's awesome. I remember that. I was laughing. Oh, it was awesome. I jumped over the pile and got the flag. I was like, that's awesome. I remember that. I was laughing. It was awesome. I always felt bad.

Was there any conversation with family or friends? Maybe start doing it more often? Like, hey, Drew 15. Oh, yeah. I thought it was hilarious. Everybody did. Yeah, I loved it. It was not us, dude.

Honestly, it was almost a joke, and I got the penalty. Was it Carrente? Yeah. I'm not sure who it was. It probably was that scumbag. Hey, that guy just got a happy retirement scumbag. That's Carrente. Hey, Carrente? Yeah. I'm not sure who it was. Oh, it probably was that scumbag. Hey, that guy just got a half-retirement scumbag. Yes, Carrente. Hey, Carrente.

Yes, I'm going to ask you to retire. Is he here? There were better ones coming in. Why is he a scumbag? You know why, dude. You didn't see him back that ass up on O'Cuzzie? Cassius Matthew or Cassius Marsh? I thought more may have come from that.

No, it's Carrente's last season, dude. Ain't nothing coming from that. It's a swan song. Okay. How about that incredible spinning kick at cash? Unbelievable celebration. That thing was unbelievable. Yeah.

And then he gets bodied by Carrente. All for naught. Hey, you know what? And then he gestured toward the sideline. No, we haven't. Shut up. Pat. What's up?

No, we haven't talked about it. Who? We do have an insider working for this company who broke news yesterday before we took off. Tom McMahon is officially going to be the Las Vegas Raiders special teams coach. Congratulations to Mitt's dad, Tom McMahon. Yeah, boy, Tom. He was at the Broncos for a number of years.

Couldn't figure it out out there, whether it was roster, talent, whatever the case, the team, who knows. He lands in Las Vegas with A.J. Cole, who punts balls a quarter mile in a dome in Las Vegas. That is at a heightened altitude, I believe. And Daniel Carlson, who has like six walk-off game winners. Tom McMahon is skipping into that Raiders facility, I would assume. And the Raiders are always known for having one thing and it will never change. They got

speed as well. So Tom McMahon is about to flip the game upside down, we think, in Las Vegas. But Richie Basaccia headed to Green Bay out of Las Vegas. Now you guys get somebody who is vastly different. Not only is he Irish McMahon, as opposed to the Basaccia how's the family. But also,

he will talk to all the guys and build up a relationship. He ain't writing shit to anybody. I mean, he ain't writing any letters. I mean, he's vastly different. Well, he just did that athletic piece on you, you know, so he didn't write a letter, but he gave an interview. He will connect with his players in a vastly different way than Basaccia did, I'd assume.

I don't know Basaccia that well, but Tom McMahon is a great special teams coach. I was very, very, very lucky to have Tom. Tom McMahon brought out the best of me and our team, so I like him a lot. It did not work in Denver, though. There was numerous times I was watching his Broncos game and I was like, this is not the same shit we were doing.

So I think in Las Vegas he would get an opportunity to do it because he's got a couple different tools. In a situation like that, though, it ultimately doesn't matter if the head coach is going to get fired and they're going to pretty much clean house. I mean, he was probably going to get fired and they're going to pretty much clean house. I mean, he was probably going to— Passaccia? Tom.

Oh, Denver. Yeah, nothing he could have done would have really mattered, right? Because if the head coach gets fired, there's a good chance that he's not getting retained anyway. Yeah, and Josh McDaniels and he knew each other from St. Louis Rams days way back in the day, so he gets picked up there. Passaccia going in there. Joe Judge becoming an offensive assistant for the Patriots. A lot of these

staffs being built are starting to come together now. And I'm excited for that. I mean, the inside linebacker coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now at Jacksonville as a defensive coordinator with Doug Peterson. These are those relationships that are built up over a few years, or maybe even decades of, hey, if I get an opportunity

to do this, this is how I'm gonna build it Gabe Morenci is here absolutely love absolutely love Gabe hey what are you happy about today? Yeah. That guy's hilarious. Hell yeah. Let's go, Gabe. Let's go, Gabe. Sweet. Hey, hold on. I just saw Bob Martjanovich.

Martjanovich, yeah. Bob B. Yeah, Bob Martjanovich. He gave us a similar. Good guy out there. You look great, Gabe. Hey, it's great to see you. Great to see you, Maranci.

Hey, you're here all week. Yes, sir. Okay, awesome. We'll link up. We love you, man. Electric Factory, by the way. Yeah, yeah. At SportsRage.

Yeah, just. Was he here by himself last night? Did you see him? Yeah, so he was right over there with one other person, and he was just screaming into a camera with the backdrop. Everywhere else was empty. Fox Sports was also doing a show with Fox Sports Radio. So they were the only people in the entire convention center and they were

I don't know, like 20 yards away screaming at each other. But I want to let you know, Gabe won. I don't doubt it. As soon as we walked in the room I heard, I'm like, Gabe Morenci is here. And then boom there's only two people working. It was him. Howdy baby Gabe!

Howdy baby Gabe! He's electric Lightning Lightning We need him and Michael Irvin Maybe to chit chat Sit down in there I forget what we were going to talk about He said go make himself

His own trading card Oh Panini Not a sandwich That's a card I'm biased I want to let you know The dude that was hosting

The Panini booth Yeah Was one of the most Badass motherfuckers Yeah Shredded. I believe he had Simone tattoos all over him. And he was yoked up.

And he said, I'm the smallest in my family. So that means he's had to. I thought he was a UFC heavyweight. He was just sitting here listening to the show. He had no idea who we were. I think he was introduced quickly. And he did take his break there. He got the hell out of here. He's a good guy.

Speaking of break, we've got to get to one. We'll be back in four minutes with some more questions around Twitter. Use hashtag PMS in LA. Maybe we'll answer your question. Maybe you'll make our show better. We need that, don't we? Oh, yeah. AJ, don't we need that?

No. Yeah, we always need their help. We do. Because without them, what are we? It's just one big team, right? Like me and Evie last night playing Euchre. Yeah, but you guys suck. You guys suck. I mean, and you guys got beat by a team that sucks. No. I guess, but not really.

I mean, there was five different games played. We won four of them. Whatever. What have you done for me lately? You guys lost the last game. You guys lost the belt game. That means we have the belt. Also, let's remember the big baboon was at his deepest form of whatever state he was in for that last game. There was cards showing up out of nowhere. Plus, we know

Foxy was boozed out of his mind. Foxy sits down and says, give me the entire bottle of T-Discs. And then Ty followed up, give me the entire bottle of Jack. And then we had to deal with this guy on Cloud 90 in the sky. We drank some fancy coffee. It was a great time. Thank you for allowing me to come on that flight.

You were a great Uker fan. Yeah, thank you. Hey, Jay, you stink at Uker. So do you, Foxy. What are we even talking about? We have the belt. It's hard to stick with it, man. You've got to pay attention way too close for Uker. It was fun.

I had a great time. Thank you for including me. You're really tough. ATF, you've got to be friends. Oh, my God. You guys are handling business. Oh, my Lord. Thank you, ATF.

Get the camera on him. Thank you, guys. I don't know if we're live. No, no, no. Get those guys on camera. Any federal agents, we'll keep that camera off. He's got everybody jacked out here. He's got bomb tech on his shirt, too. Yeah, dude.

Welcome. Yeah. Bro, you think he puts on that big spaceship costume and goes? Oh, yeah. Kurt Locker. Yeah, Kurt Locker. Jeremy Renner. Hey, thank you for your service, man.

Thank you, ATF. All right. That's the show. Thank you guys so much for watching, listening, following along with us as we are in LA for the rest of Super Bowl week. Should be a good time. Thanks to all our guests who joined us today. Have a great night.
