Hello, beautiful people. It is, oh my God, so many people are about to see their dreams go up in smoke week, Monday, August 29th, 2022. Football is done for like two weeks in professional level, but college football is alive and well. Scott Frost continues to lose games as the coach in Nebraska. I have no idea how that team was a 12 point, 13 point, 14 point favorite over Northwestern over in Ireland. But that game was awesome to watch. Had an upset, what, week zero.

So aside from a little bit of college football that we can try to act like we're interested in because we are part of the college football landscape now. So let's go ahead and dive into the stories a little bit. Okay, let's start watching some games games there's a lot of that about to take place but there's no NFL football until next Thursday Jesus how many days Connor 10 days 10 days until the next game and you do recall just a few years ago this was not this long of a drought of NFL football it used to be that the last preseason game was coming up on this Thursday

then you got the weekend then you got the season the next one after that now it's a big break of a drought of NFL football. It used to be that the last preseason game was coming up on this Thursday. Then you got the weekend. Then you got the season, the next one after that. Now it's a big break because new CBA, new rules, how many preseason games. Then COVID also came in at the same time and said, whack, we're changing some things up. So now we have about two weeks to sit here and gather our thoughts. The teams have two weeks to sit there and gather their squad. And players have a little bit of time to sit down

and wonder if they're going to make a living playing football or if they're going to be selling insurance. I can't wait to watch a lot of things happen in real life in the regular season because the preseason, although it is a little bit of a taste of NFL football, and you see magical moments, ten of them to be exact that I saw this past weekend.

We will watch all of them in maybe hour two or hour three because we have footage rights this year. Shout out to NFL Films. But regular season is where it really happens. We have no idea if a team goes undefeated in the preseason, if they're going to win a game in the regular season, because history has told us that it doesn't matter. There's teams that have gone completely defeated in the preseason and then go undefeated in the regular season because history has told us that it doesn't matter. There's teams that have gone completely defeated in the preseason and then go undefeated in the regular season. There's been teams that go undefeated in preseason and stink

and actually go completely defeated in the regular season. Those are two real things that have happened in the NFL, so we can't take anything serious. But it has been great to see some players that we know play some football in the league that we all love. I also got to watch a couple, you know, little entertainment things this week. Yeah. House of the Dragon, Episode 2.

Hell yeah. I watched that. Seems like there's some fuckery going on in that. Yeah, you know it. Small council. Seems like you're trying to tear everything apart. Yeah, bearded fucker. How is that the guy that got casted as the king, though?

Looks like you walk right up to him and smack him right in the mouth. I can't take him serious at all. Honestly, he's getting played by everybody, and this fucking guy doesn't have a jawline. It's tough for me to take you serious you don't got a jawline because one punch would actually hit your brain. That king doesn't have one. I assumed that that was a part of it.

I guess not. So I do apologize for maybe not taking your grace as serious as I should. Sure. But I'm happy that I'm getting into this thing. Real slow start.

A lot of storylines. And I think what you guys should have told me because you guys were Game of Thrones watchers. After that episode one, hey, everybody in here is going to be a part

of fuckery. Oh yeah, sure. And that's what it feels like. There's 45 stories about to take place all over the place. That's why if you miss any episode of Game of Thrones or a season of Game of Thrones, you're probably fucked because so much has happened because there's so many fuckery.

Right. Yeah, just a constant game of musical chairs. And really, at any point, someone who you thought like, oh, he's got good intentions. He loves your grace. At any point, he could turn around and stab your grace in the back, which is nice. That's what it seems like. Oh, yeah. You never know. That's the at- like. Oh, yeah. You never know.

That's the at-toxic table, though, so who knows what we can take seriously. Normally a little negative at Ty Schmidt, at Boston Connor. You were going back watching the regular Game of Thrones. I'm assuming you were enjoying the House of Dragons. This is fascinating to me. Why are they playing on Sundays? Do they do that during NFL season? Oh, yeah, they do.

Is there only two more episodes? No. No, no, no. Probably eight more. Yeah. They're doing that against the NFL? Oh, yeah. There are a lot of people out there, and I won't call them any names, only two more episodes no no probably eight more yeah they're doing that against the nfl oh yeah there are a lot of people out there and you know i won't call them any names but there are a lot

of people out there who might say you know i'd rather watch house of dragon right now than the first half of say you know any you know sunday night football game i guess denver and seattle would be the first example yeah well i'll never be able to get along with those people but i do appreciate and see why those people are so interested in it all. That was awesome. I really enjoyed it. There's really not much else. Running with the Devil, John McAfee, I watched that. Oh, how was that?

Huh? How was that? I almost watched it a couple times. Hey, he's not my uncle, okay? He's not my uncle. I'm not related. Where's he at? I did get asked if I was related growing up a lot, if I was related, you know?

Would have been cool. And a lot of the times as I was related growing up a lot, if I was related. It would have been cool. And a lot of the times as I was wearing cleats that had just holes in the bottom of them and heading back to Plum High School, are you related to John McAfee? I would hope not. I feel like John McAfee would have at least given us some of his cashola. Then after watching that, I don't know if he would have. Honestly, I don't know if he would have given it. I don't know if he would have. We might't know if he would give it i don't know okay we might be related i'm not sure he's a menace that guy yeah dude while they were filming this dude was arrested three four times on the run still on the

go this guy's unbelievable a menace of a human being john mcafee but i'll tell you they really left a cliffhanger at the end. Really? Oh yeah, almost in like the credits situation. They left a cliffhanger from a lady basically saying, you know, I got a call one time from John. He asked me to go away and she was recording live from a deserted beach basically and then she looked at the camera

and then they cut off. It was like, oh, John McAfee's still alive. Of course. John McAfee's still alive. But if John McAfee's still alive after watching Running With The Devil, he's going to show his face again. He will make sure that everybody knows that he's still alive but if John McAfee's still alive after watching Running with the Devil he's going to fucking make he's going to show his face again he will make sure that everybody knows that he's still alive if he is still alive he always goes my name's John McAfee look me up

yeah he's in the middle of being chased by federal I mean there's a lot of people chasing him allegedly basalt intake every once in a while will potentially make you a little paranoid but then you know some legitimacy came from it it felt like at the end there but yeah he while he's on the run from all these people he would fully introduce himself hi my name is john mcafee hi my name is john mcafee hey you have a wig that i can disguise myself oh are you an actor an entertainer no my name is john

mcafee and you can look me up in one week you're gonna say oh shit this guy was in my wig store and it's gonna be because you uh aided and abetted somebody basically who's on the run while he's allegedly on the run telling people basically he's gotta appreciate the honesty yeah it was pretty i mean it was fantastic to watch and then he looks at the camera one time while he's either i mean he was taking pulls out of like whiskey bottles like long at like 10 30 a.m and then taking a bottle of water no that's not a dog that is a full-blown alcoholic that right there that what i just described as a full-blown alcoholic he was doing that and he was always like seemed to be fucked up but there was one time he looked at the camera and broke down what was happening and he was like uh the facade the fairy tale stories

about me that nobody believes is real. And you've documented the entire thing. You're welcome, basically. Like, am I not gold? Are we not gold right now? He's on the Wolf of Wall Street's yacht at one point, sailing through the sea on the run from somebody with 17, 20 guns in there, fully loaded, while just living a life with millions of dollars underneath the bed.

Like just millions. While this guy's capturing, who might be the most electrifying guy of all time. Oh. The camera person. Really? He's in overalls doing his interview. Long hair, overalls. I'm a redneck, he says.

At one point, it is. They find that trap door under the bed. Oh, yeah. And they're like freaking out. Oh, yeah. They think somebody's in the bed with them. I mean, there is a lot of paranoia in this thing. It was worth a watch.

But, yeah, he's alive. Did they address the hammocks? There was no pooping through the hammocks on his face. None of his sexual exploits were. That one house, they showed the three hammocks. Yeah, they showed him moving in in the beliefs. They did not chat about the poop through the hammock while he's laying underneath it, which was another documentary

about this guy. He also killed his dad, I guess. That's something. So if you have his antivirus on your computer, he could just hack into your computer. Yeah, he knows everything about everybody, actually. That's kind of what has happened. That is why he's on the run from her. Worth a watch. I think Running with the Devil

worth a watch. He gets locked up in three different continents. And the documentary. That's sweet. So something to think about. Isn't he like taking down governments too in different countries? So he has all the information that's allegedly on anybody's computer ever. So anything that had Mac the Antivirus on it,

he was able to somehow hack in and read everything. So that's kind of the whole angle. What's the angle? The angle is because he knows everything about everybody. So they want to kill him because he knows everything about everybody and they know that he knows everything about everybody. Now, he was still able to go to banks

and just withdraw a million dollars. So you would think if everybody wanted to kill him, he was in pretty high up spots, he would freeze his accounts. So they didn't really explain how that is in a thing. But yeah, he knows everything about everybody. So that's why they want to kill him. That makes sense.

Does he know Area 51? Can he tell us some stuff or no? We went to NASA, remember? Well, government computers, I don't think, are using Mac antivirus. Well, they might have back in the day. They're going back to the moon for the first time since 79 or whatever. Interesting. How come?

Oh, sorry. Artemis, the big rust bucket, actually cannot make it up there. We found some engine failure. First time since then or first time? Oh, sorry. Artemis, the big rust bucket, actually cannot make it up there. I was going to say, we found some engine failure. First time. God damn it. Since then or first time? Oh, it's first time since. Yeah, they just want to go see if it's possible to live up there in one of the things and

then hopefully get to Mars. Cool. It's like, oh, okay. How come? Oh, fueling station on the moon. Meeting of the minds, it sounds like. No, it sounds like. I'm not saying it.

What? Don't you dare say it. I know it sounds like. Don't you dare say it. What's it sounds like it. Don't you dare say it. What's it sound like? Huh? They don't make them like they used to. That's why we haven't gone up there since then, okay?

No, not movies. I'm saying guys like John Glenn and Buzz Aldrin and all the greats, okay? We don't have anyone who can read the telemetry of these complex systems like they could back in the day. Yeah, right. And we got that new telescope, man. We're fucking seeing the... AIs. Yeah, we're seeing things in other... We're seeing other Milky Ways, dude. Right now. Well, you know. Hey, we've already been

there. Why do we need to go again? Well, it seems like we need to go back because there is a UFO sighting every other fucking day these days. What does that mean? Are we going to go chat? And also, have we checked inside the moon? Are people living inside... Are things living inside the moon? No, it's just cheese in there. Oh, yeah. We're ribs. Wisconsin.

Go ahead and slap. There was another massive UFO in that area in Mexico. That guy called in and talked about that one time. I saw a video. Could have been a drone. Somebody could have said that was a drone, but also could have been a UFO. There was one in Buffalo, one in Iowa just a couple weeks ago, I believe. Yeah, someone said that was Starlink.

Of course. And then there was another Starlink released on Saturday as well. Of course. I mean, of course it is. There's always something. But there seems to be a lot more suspicion around our Congress government area about space than ever before. What if they're all running on water, huh? Maybe.

That'd be sweet. I hope not. That's why they go into the ocean. In the lakes. Hydropowered. Do yourself a Google search on the last two guys who invented or invented the technology and

made it possible for cars to run on water why don't you see what happened to those couple guys don't do that news alert

spoiler alert they're not breathing anymore true that's that certain thing one half of the hammer died

cowboys and what he did say was true the way he delivered it is not with any cooth at all obviously and we do not appreciate that means truth it was delivered that way okay yeah it was and what this means like respectful you know and everything like that in a ways they die those were big old brains on those folks um yeah there was uh this weekend poochella happened it was awesome sweet and that's why the water thing just came up in conversation because you know we all know they're out uh dropping in the ocean

right of course anybody's paying attention anything knows they're dropping in the ocean and without a splash i'm with a splash they're having bases in the ocean uh so i guess they don't have to do they don't have to have oxygen right where they're wherever they live that's why they're able to do their thing but then a guy at puchella from alabama named scott morris okay sure that's his fucking name his name is scott morris he's sweating like there's no tomorrow from alabama yeah from alabama did not expect him to be as hot as he was but shit he said 1979 brother i've fucking seen it and he said nobody believed me they wanted my uh i have a lake he said, nobody believed me. They wanted my, I have a lake, he said, in Alabama. I forget what part of Alabama.

There's a lake. His whole family was there. This thing dropped in the lake, lit it all up, sucked out a bunch of water out of it, killed all the catfish in the fucking lake, lit up the lake as if it was like an LED light underneath it. Then went up in the sky, obviously lit up the sky. His aunt started snapping old school photos of it 35 millimeter 35 mil you saw you talked to scott morse as well he was telling his story i think and uh he's got a photo of did you see the photo i did what did you think of that uh the the thing

i mean he said what does that fucking look like to you that's what he said it looked like an alien well that's yeah i didn't really know i i said that as well i did not see the alien uh but i guess there was a picture of an alien oh no the thing he had in the sky i mean it's terrible quality it is it's you know it's the fucking 35 millimeter 70 yeah sounds like it's crock of shit well that's what i think the quality of the photo will lead to every human saying this guy but he said brothers in 79 i've been fucking telling people it's in the water and then now it's in the ocean and everything like that they might just be water powered because he said they sucked up a bunch of water is that why they go into the ocean and go get a bunch of 80 percent water yes we're so dead then no we're on land dude don't also be good because all the

glaciers are melting so this will help with that problem ocean rising yeah so maybe that's why the glaciers are melt no no no i'm sure it's. Ocean rising. Yeah, so maybe that's why the glaciers are melting. No, no, no. I'm sure it's because cows are farting and trucks and stuff. Let's not get crazy. I have not dove into that yet. There is a chance us walking on Earth

is pushing Earth down to the core, which is all fire, maybe heating it up a little bit. Maybe whenever we send rocket ships into the sky, it's puncturing holes in the ozone. So, you know, it's getting a little hot. Maybe it is. The ozone is being

ruined by all of uh man-made shit that's right smokestacks terrible maybe it is 100 that uh or maybe they're just melting the glaciers so they can get more water to gas up and get the fuck out of here you might be onto something too if we're on land we may be okay they just keep going to the oceans hey you suck up what you need you know don't take all of it but the ocean the ocean's going down you know the whole i wish no they say the sea is rising yeah but that's all right with me because there ain't no other place than on the sea i'd rather be in that second component, it's right around the bend. And someday, maybe any day, the world is going to end. And that's all right. That's Ken Chester.

That's Ken, yeah. I think it was like 30 people that wrote that. So the sea is rising, they're saying, because the glaciers are melting. Whatever the case, Scott Morris made a compelling argument. He did. His lake was sucked out of water and catfish, and's where the fuck they were now they're going in the ocean all the time uh that was the weekend you know now we wait now we wait for nfl football did you watch that um the entirety of the nebraska northwestern game puchella cut into a good part of it but i

was able to catch literally third quarter, fourth quarter towards the end. Luke Akers, David Akers' son, punting for Northwestern with an absolute beauty to basically put that thing away. Nebraska has stunk for a long time. Scott Frost won at UCF. Is that what happened? Yes. If I do recall. He won at UCF.

Then him and a bunch of Navy SEALs went to Nebraska. Remember, they were carrying boats and shit during training camp. And then they don't win? Is that what happens? Because it feels like every time I watch a Nebraska game, there's always talk about Scott Frost. I see videos of the offseason shit, which I'm like,

all right, ready to run through a wall. I guess they got a bunch of transfers that are very good at football too. And they stink. How does that happen? Why do they stink? So I saw a stat also, Bo Pelini, who was at Nebraska for a long time, if Scott Frost were to win his next 50 games at Nebraska, he would still have a worse record than Bo Pelini did in that amount of games. So not a great start for Scott Frost at Nebraska.

Got him. They brought in Mark Whipple at OC, who was at Pitt, did well with Kenny Pickett. They brought in Texas' quarterback from last year. They went down. They scored on the first possession. Northwestern didn't score more than 14 points in their last six games last year. Northwestern was dog shit. And they were just going down and scoring.

The defense in Nebraska was actually the disappointment. But 12 and a half, there was never a chance for Nebraska. Did you bet on them? No, no, I did not touch that game. Oh, Mitt did. Nebraska? Oh, bummer.

I believe Mitt did take Nebraska. Bruce was on the other side. Yeah, Mitt walked into the Colts suite in which everybody saw him on the internet talking to me very close. You know what I'm saying? And he was telling a great story. He came in and goes, Colts football is going to be tough or something like that. And I'm like, yeah, well, he said something along those lines.

Yeah, and then I said, why? He bet Nebraska or whatever. Yeah, this was not what he was telling me at this moment. That was not what he was telling me at this moment. What was he saying? At this, what he's saying. Tweeter sick. I mean, there is.

Who am I sure? Is he cold? Why is the Colts were like red and green? This was at the Colts preseason game, which leads us into our next point. He was not, I will not disclose what we were talking about at this point because it is hilarious, but when I found – so we're going to have to hide in this suite?

Is that what's going to have to happen? Oh, well, if you're not okay with being on the Jumbotron in the local broadcast every week, yeah, you are going to have to hide. I mean, we did not know. Foxy was caught mid-bite. Great flip, though. I seen the flip to the bigger piece of bread while you're very smooth. Yeah, it did not know. Foxy was caught mid-bite. Great. Hey, great flip, though. I seem to flip to the bigger piece of bread while you're very smooth. Yeah, it wasn't sloppy.

That's all I care about. Yeah, you look good. I think you're chewing with your mouth closed, too. And also, House of the Dragon, they're chewing with their mouth closed. Okay? That's fucking 172 years before the fucking Dragon Era shit that you guys have been watching Game of Thrones. You can chew with your fucking mouth closed. I've seen the goddamn, yeah, Grace, who had no, I mean, he didn't even have a jaw to hold up his fucking mouth.

And he's chewing with his mouth closed. Everybody can do it, Ty. Okay? I agree. Well, you're getting a little bit too comfortable. That baby was beautiful. Thank you. That baby was absolutely beautiful.

Thank you very much. Got to Ty's baby, Sloan. Got to see the Indianapolis Colts play the Tampa Buccaneers this weekend. Yikes. She took it in, too. What do you mean, yikes? I mean, if you want your baby to be a fan of football, you should have brought her to a Packers game or something.

All right, so let's transition away because I watched Tom Brady play against the Indianapolis Colts this past weekend in the preseason in which Tom and Matt Ryan josted for like the first drive or first series or two Tom Brady took an 11-day hiatus in the middle of training camp unprecedented nobody had heard why or how this happened he was slicing and dicing he did not forget how to play football he was making throws that were gorgeous and from where we sit I actually had Tom Brady's view on life for a little bit. He's a little bit taller, had a better helmet on. He wasn't able to see a fucking thing.

The hands were up in his face. Our sweep gives us a much better angle than normal. He's thrown to a spot everywhere. He's plucking dudes in the chest. He did not forget how to play football. He did not forget what the offense was. I don't know how the Bucs are going to be because on this particular drive, I mean, he's hitting, but Cam Bray was a hell of a player too he's gonna do well for them he hit a couple guys

in there looked comfortable i mean he moved it right down the field if you want to do we don't we'll dive into these later but he was balling okay and it was nice to see the toms there the colts booed the fuck out of them the fans booed the shit out of them before the first series i mean very loud i thought maybe that was what woke him up. Like, maybe that, oh yeah, I forgot. This shit ain't sweet. I'm back. But then he did his press conference afterwards. And I don't know if it was

because of the Colts fans booing him that he was in a little bit of a... We've never seen Tom like this. This is what he said when he was asked about where he went or how he went during that 11-day trip in the middle of training camp. It's all personal. You know, everyone's got different situations they're dealing with,

so we all have really unique challenges to our life. And, you know, I'm 45 years old, man. There's a lot of shit going on. So, you know, you just got to try to figure out life the best you can. And, you know,'s a uh continuous process so okay so joining us now man who might have more information than just that we all watch that we're like damn tom okay hope you're all right yeah he played football pretty well sure but it looks like he is in now maybe it's because bottom of the mountain training camp we're still trying

to get to the top last year wasn't it year's it. Maybe he's super focused or maybe I'm 45 years old. There's a lot of shit going on. What does that mean? Joining us now, senior NFL insider for the league and the network, host of the weekly wrap up with the rap sheet and friends, us being the friends, he'd be in rap sheet.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ian Rapoport. Hey, rap. Great to see you. Obviously we all saw that and immediately thought, Oh, there's some shit going on in Tom's life. Have you learned anything more other than what we know? And he looked like he still got it.

So I assume nobody out of Tampa is worried about a thing. No, well, first of all, the football part of it. You know, I would say for everyone was kind of wondering, you know, you're right. Unprecedented hiatus. One of the best players of all time. Maybe the best player of all time of all time just being like all right I'll see you guys in 11 days peacing out from training camp with no explanation I think some people were probably on edge and the fact that Todd Bowles was like yeah we think he'll be back pretty sure you know more people were on edge Brady is back he is fine football wise he's still amazing. And I think, you know, look, it was training camp, so you can definitely not read a ton about that.

But with Brady, I'd say you probably can. He's still awesome. They're going to be fine. I think every, you know, mid-40s person who's got kids and a wife and a family and other things besides work probably nodded a little bit when he said what he said. I do not know specifically if there was something wrong or if he was just saying that. My understanding was that it was family-related. Health-wise, everything's fine, but family-related. Something he was planning to deal with for several months,

dealt with, went where he went, and then came back. I didn't get the sense it was something troubling. His comments sort of lead you to that, but I didn't get that sense originally. But it is good to know that these people that we cover and talk about are human beings. And I appreciate Brady letting us know that he is, in fact, a human. Hey, look at that, Ian. Look at you, insiders, acting like humans. beings and i appreciate brady letting us know that he is in fact a human hey look at that ian look at you insiders acting like humans i mean it's a good it is it is a good thing for us to know that brady

has a family and something else besides football that is for those 11 days was more important and that is okay i think so too i think we're big fans of the fact that he was able to go do it he kept a commitment we'd assumed to his family that he made whenever he was retired for 40 days, whenever he came back. We assumed there was a little bit of a conversation about said 11 days, wherever he was heading, when he decided to come back. It's interesting if you start diving into it like everybody on the Internet did. There was a point in time where I assume his family thought he was maybe going to

have some ownership of the Miami Dolphins, you be an owner of the Dolphins live in Miami and instead we're back on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another year not ownership of anything going do you think there's any thought that that was maybe a conversation in the family about what life is like now versus what we thought it was going to be? Well, first of all, I know when he made the decision to unretire that everybody was on board. So it's not like he said, okay, I'm doing this. And his wife was like, well, screw this. I'm flipping the table. That is not the sense I got. It sounded like they were on board knowing that that's what he wanted to do, that he felt he should be back in the field, that he was not done. I think everybody was on board with that.

You know, is it easier for family life if he's around, hanging out around the house, maybe living in Miami? You know, the part ownership of the Dolphins thing, I think that would have been possible in some scenarios, maybe not as, I mean obviously We know what happened with the Dolphins penalties And with the discussions we've been over all that I think that was possible

But maybe not the given everyone assumed But yes there was definitely the thought That You know definitely the thought that He would be home and it would be a lot easier When he made the decision to not be Just judging let's say, from my own family, those things can be tough.

Yeah, absolutely. And I like the fact that you told us there that everybody was on board. That's a nice piece of information. We're happy for the whole squad, if that's the case. Yeah, all good. Remember, though, we still got that thing. Hey, we got that thing we signed up for.

11 days, middle of training camp. Fuck everybody. Seems like a good trip. It sounded like a great trip. Didn't seem to be pumped on the way back, though. No, not at all. In theory, it sounded like a much better trip probably than it ended up being. Yeah.

The reason why I'm wondering is because if this is revenge body Tom Brady coming into this season, fucking look out. You know, if he is on the rebound, bounce back, you know, fully focused just on football, literally nothing else happened. It's a sanctuary getaway. Everything else is, I mean, we could start banking and betting on the Buccaneers immediately, no matter how questionable the offensive line is and everything like that, Ian. Well, yeah, but I think they're going to be really good anyway.

I mean, yes. Revenge Tom Brady. Oh, I don't know what he's being revenge for. But when he's focused, he's awesome. When he's not that focused, he's still awesome. They are a really, really good team. I mean, just talking like, I know Brady's the greatest quarterback of all time, but look around their roster.

They lost a center, that's tough. They're a little banged up on the offensive line. Everyone has injuries. They look, I mean, loaded all over the place. I think the defensive line's going to be really good. Secondary's going to be really good. Like, they are good regardless. So you look out no matter what. Yeah, Sam Ellinger had a 54

yard scamper on his first play in the game. I mean, I'm sure they'll be able to stop Aaron Rodgers and Boise when they have to. We're happy. Tom Brady's happy if that's the case. If not, Tom, we appreciate you, bud. Let's go back to you being a human this morning it was reported uh or yesterday it was reported i forget was it last night brian robinson this morning yeah

last night it was reported in a i mean that kind of came out of nowhere an attempted car robbery uh grand theft in the middle of dc we'd assume he ends up getting shot in there did did the theft happen did this come out of nowhere for everybody? I mean, it had to have. And what are the next steps, you think, Ian? This is a tragic situation that happens in the real world, I guess, every once in a while. Yeah, I mean, it's tragic, but it sounds like you never call anyone who got shot lucky, but it does seem like he is as fortunate as possibly could be. Got shot in the glute and the lower leg is my understanding. Had surgery

today which he posted about on Instagram. Came just I think to make everything is okay to clean up some stuff. Should make a full recovery and got very very fortunate because anytime there are gunshots involved I do not need to tell you guys. It could have been a lot worse.

He is in good spirits and in good condition so I think all of that is good. As far as what happened, it seemed around, just based on the various sources I've talked to, between 4 and 5 p.m. in D.C., someone or two people, I believe, according to the police, approached him either about a carjacking or a robbery. I am not sure which, and I don't believe they know. It sounds like he resisted on some level, according to the people I've spoken with, and then ran and they shot.

So that's the life part of it. Very, very fortunate. Everyone with the team visited him yesterday, report that he was doing well. As far as the football part of it, because we call it football. I like that he said no. Yeah.

Think about that. Hey, give us your bubba. No. Yeah. We will shoot you. I don't give a fuck. I'm not. And then he's out

and they shoot him while he's running away to try to get his shit still. Is that what it is? I don't know why they shot him as he was running away, but my understanding was the shots were fired as he was running. Did they catch the people that shot him or no?

I don't think so. I do not. At least they have not announced that yet, but like scary for many, many reasons, but broad daylight. Oh, shit. Middle of D.C. Between 4 and 5 p.m., like, it's light out.

Damn. Downtown D.C., where at? I do not know D.C. enough to know where that was. The address, I believe, is out there, but I don't know D.C. enough to know where it was. D.C. is high, isn't it?

I don't think it was in a terrible place. A lot of people live in Arlington, Alexandria. Well, that's not in D.C., right? It's right next to it. Yeah, well, this happened in D.C.? This is in D.C.? I think. I mean, it's, you know, I don't know the area well enough.

Well, I know. It's all sort of D.C. to me. It's like, you know. Was it in the District of Columbia? Do we know? I believe, but I'm not good at maps. Was it in the nation's capital? Was it in the District of Columbia? Do we know? I believe, but I'm not good at maps. Was it in the nation's capital? Was it in the fucking...

I don't know. Was it in Maryland, Virginia, or was it in D.C.? Do we know? I believe D.C. That's my understanding. That's a small... D.C. police are involved. It's tiny.

I believe D.C. Northwest D.C. is what Gertie just said. Dirty's from Virginia. Dirty, do you know the area? D.C.'s tiny, right? Is it? Yeah, and that's like a tough area to be in, too. Like, I don't know what he was doing in the Northwest.

Okay, so, like, that is a spot, potentially. Is it? Okay. Yeah, you would know better than me there. Why is that? And then as far as... Why is that? I don't know DC.

What's that about? Dirty, what's that all about? God. I know DC. He's from Virginia. I mean, that is something to think about. Which I knew, of course. Yeah, of course. I said it earlier. I'm trying to save you right now.

But yes, I like the fact, though. Yeah, why is he there? That'll be a whole new conversation piece, I guess, now, especially from the people from the area. He's not ruling out being back this season, though, I think I saw from your tweet. Yeah, I'm not ruling out him being back this season either. And like, you know you know look for someone to deal with something that serious and

still have a chance to put to live which is the most important thing still have a chance to play football it's all amazing um and it could end up being a really cool story comeback story everything um so i know washington's still holding out hope that he ends up being on the field, but the most important thing is all the other stuff. Yes. We would like to say good on you, Brian. Godspeed, bub. Happy you made it out of there.

Also enjoy the fact that when push came to shove, he said, fuck off. I like that. Because I always think to myself, you know, when I'm walking out here in Indy because Indy is an interesting spot now at certain times in certain areas

I'm like if somebody comes up to me am I going to do am I just going to hand it over like they say just hand it over just do what they say

or well I have a little bit of tiredness in me and I'm like not today will I ever and you don't know until you're in that moment

you know you have no idea until you're in that moment. Brian was like, not today. Middle of the afternoon, what are you going to do? It's fucking 4.30. What are you going to do? And the guy fucking shot him. That's insane.

Keep your head on a swivel out there. Let's be safe in the world that we go. Let's continue to move on here. Geno Smith named starter over Drew Locke. That seems like a big deal. Was that because Drew Locke threw that pick where the guy dropped into his zone and just was no problem? Or is it because Geno won this in practice over the long haul?

And does everybody expect Jimmy G to end up on the Seattle Seahawks after week two due to Schultz's report of the Niners not being scared to hang on to Jimmy G through week two because they do not want to have to face him when they play Seattle in week two because they do not want to have to face him when they play Seattle in week two? I would be surprised if he ended up in Seattle under any circumstances. What's that mean? I mean, like whether release or trade, you know what I mean? Like I would be if they release him, like I don't know that Seattle would be the spot he would end up because if he's released,

like I don't know where Seattle's going to be, but I think it's fair to say there's some questions about the roster. Certainly very young. A lot of unproven guys. And I don't know how good they're going to be. If you're Jimmy G and you get released, might it make sense to just say, you know what, I'm going to wait for a contender. And I have not even gotten the sense that Seattle is, like,

climbing over him either. So I would be, I would say I've been surprised before. So this is not totally definitive, but I would be surprised if he ended up in Seattle. As far as Gino, you know, it's interesting because we all like in the public, in the media, talked about the quarterback competition and Drew Locke. And I think a lot of people see the upside in Drew Locke. And there definitely is a lot of upside. In Seattle, it didn't sound like it was that close.

You know what I mean? Gino was the starter. He started all the preseason games. He got all the ones reps. Is he the greatest quarterback ever? I don't know, but he's certainly the most secure and knows the offense well. Turned the ball over less. He won the job.

He really did. I mean, you're allowed to say he's not the greatest quarterback ever without slighting him. You know what I mean? You just got scared to say that because you thought Seahawks fans would grab the fish from that one mark and throw it and attack you or whatever. I think I, as a West Virginia guy,

pumped to see Geno getting another shot and maybe Geno goes on a run. Feels like everywhere he's played, there's always been interesting circumstances. Now, with Pete Carroll seemingly being all behind him, Drew Locke being his backup, is that team with DK and Tyler Locke playing, do they think they're going to win games this year? Do you think there's a real expectation of success

from Pete Carroll and everybody over there, or do they know what it is? Definitely. No, I think they think they're going to surprise some people. Now, not everybody around the league is on board with that. I have no idea because kind of like Belichick was saying today, the preseason you have literally no idea. In all of my years, one thing I've learned is that preseason,

when it comes to predicting results, could not mean less. It's just impossible. Yeah, the last three weeks we've just been making shit up. The last three weeks has been a mixture of the offseason where we're just making shit up, and then the regular season kind of being tossed in there. And it's really just a melting pot of bullshit and football. What a bummer.

That's what it feels like preseason is, you're saying, Rappaport? I would not say like that. You can see individually players who do well, but as far as predicting team results, I think there's more teams who say, hey, what if we do this? What happens

during the preseason? I know the Patriots do that a ton. Like we talked about, everyone's sort of expecting the Patriots offense to just be. Like we talked about, everyone's sort of expecting the Patriots offense to just be terrible. I will be surprised because I think more of what happened in the preseason was them just testing some stuff out. Mack throwing it in to six people is going to be tough

if they do that in regular season. Happy they're throwing that out. Yeah, exactly. Happy they practiced that one. That was not a great – that was not a great house. Get the worst plays of your career out in the preseason. Happy they put that one in the preseason. Yes.

Not that big of a deal. They seem to be content and pumped. We're all on board there. But you're saying in Seattle they feel as if they're going. They've got a squad. They think they're going to be good and surprise everyone. Okay. Every team thinks that, I think, at this particular point. But Pete Carroll,

he's sticking around for a reason. There has to be some sort of vision. Maybe he'll be able to live forever. And maybe Geno, with the right circumstances here, goes on a run. Maybe one one year from now they're thinking rebuild good luck to everybody in all parties involved uh ty schmidt your question for you in rap report yeah rap sheet there was a lot of uh you know conversation around brian dable's comments about kenny galladay and whether or not he might make the team and then he kind of said you know like hey everyone is competing for a spot and then walked it back is there in any world is there a chance that the cowboys get rid

of golladay i think we looked before the show his cap hits like oh yeah giant sorry his cap hits like 32 million dollars so it seems impossible but uh is there any way that he's not a giant uh i would say i don't believe they're gonna cut. That doesn't make a lot of sense. The only reason to do it would be if he was some disruptive force and you were like, get this guy out of here. Don't get that sense at all. So I do not believe that they're going to cut him.

Is there some... Brian Dabo's comments definitely left it open. Made me just think, is there some sort of trade? Trade would be very difficult. 30 million. Somebody would have to eat a ton of salary. Giants would have to eat a ton of salary.

I just saw everybody's clip. We should put $31 million is his cap, and he's a wide receiver named Kenny Galladay. Just so we all understand, 30, that's more than, what? A lot. 80% of the quarterbacks capping? But you're starting to understand why this is – the Giants obviously have a new GM and a new coach.

This is a tough situation they inherited. It's one thing to have high-priced free agents. That's cool. But Galladay has struggled. I'm happy for him now. Big rich. Yeah, there you go, Kenny. Big money.

Great contract. Amazing contract. They would have to eat probably, what, 20 million of that to trade him? The Giants at least? You know, the cash is less this year. I'd have to look. I thought it was like 13. I'd have to look and see what the actual cash was this year.

But, yeah, I mean, there would have to be some. They'd have to go. They'd have to eat a lot of it. Yeah. That's wild. I don't know how that's going to work. Is that what we should look for here in the next couple days? Because Bill Belichick was talking about, you know,

the progress of putting a team together. Other teams are looking at what makes their team the best. They're talking to us. Do you think there's going to be more movement? It feels like there's a lot of time before the first actual game. It feels like we've got a big dead space of nothing to talk about. It feels like this really came out of nowhere, and we did not expect it as a program or a society.

But is there going to be a lot of movement, we think are teams mostly put together you think Ian no I think there'll be some movement and it'll you know I will be like a big time starter I would say maybe not but like the let's say like the Denzel Mims trade right like he requested a trade through his agent Ron Slavin the Jets have received calls he played really well in the fourth quarter last night. You know, I don't know what Denzel Mims is, but it doesn't sound like the trade compensation would be a ton. So maybe you're talking, you know, somewhere in the late round pick range. Those are the kinds of trades that will probably happen. His team say, you know what, we need another fourth receiver. We need a punt returner. We need a swing tackle. Like those would be the kinds of deals you'll see, but I think we'll see some.

I do not think the next 36 hours will be boring. After Tuesday, maybe we just focus on football in the regular season, but I think the next 36 hours will be interesting. How about Jimmy G? You think anything's going to happen with him here? I think we'll get some resolution by tomorrow at 4. That's my guess. They don't have to.

The money becomes fully guaranteed on, not this Saturday, but the next Saturday. Is that right? Yeah. But I think we'll get some resolution, whether it's release or something else. I think that fully guaranteed is kickoff, isn't it? Or is it the day before? No, it's the day before his kickoff. But if he's on the roster wednesday he gets that game check so like he would get paid a game check for 22 million or whatever it is and then it becomes

fully guaranteed like three days after that so that's theoretically the deadline hard to imagine they hope they they go all the way there okay so jimmy g's moving where's's he going? I expect something to happen. Now, John, like we talked about last time, John Lynch has talked about the good relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's he going? Where's he going, Ian? Where do you think he's going?

Who would be in a Jimmy G market right now? He's back up? But that wouldn't make sense for him, though. Me neither. I don't know where he goes. Where's he going? Just wait. Something will happen. Oh, he's just chilling. He's staying don't know where he goes. Where does he go? Just wait. Giants. Something will happen.

Oh, he's just chilling. He's staying in shape, throwing in the side yard like he's Andy Dalton. He's throwing balls, just waiting, waiting, waiting. Somebody gets hurt. Here comes Jimmy G to save the day like he did for the Niners, what, four years ago. That is, yes, that is a scenario for him if he gets released, definitely. Okay, Tom, your question.

Last question here, Ian. Thank you so much for the time. Ian, yesterday T.J. Wattontay johnson were both left the game injured now tomlin said if it was a regular season game that they potentially could have been back is that real or is that a lie that he just said to make us feel better uh tomlin does not lie basically ever um so this man knows what he's talking about i think both guys are fine the watt one if you actually look at it like he it didn't look like his feet were planted. I know they're part of the game.

They're always a little scary. He handled that well because his feet weren't planted. So I think they just got him out of the game like, let's just make sure he's okay. So I was told all indications are both guys are fine. Yeah, TJ staying on the sideline, backwards hat, looking super cool, talking to Cam Hayward. If he was injured and he thought he was injured, probably not that

type of relaxed atmosphere. Right, probably would have had his hat on frontwards and be looking sad. Bingo. That's how I read the situation as well. Brett Kern just got cut. He's signing with the Buffalo Bills by the end of the day today. There's a couple other places that need punters. I'm sure you saw Sam Martin in Denver. Well, it's kind of fucked up. I mean, I think it's a couple other places that need punters and then I'm sure you saw Sam Martin

in Denver I mean I think it was a long snapper actually caught the ball in the four and ran into the end zone go ahead and lose 20 yards 16 yards a net I mean that's going to be tough in the field in the battle of punting position but yeah Brett Kern heading to Buffalo by the end of the day

they had some punters in yesterday none of them are Brett Kern. Yeah, none of them are Brett Kern. You know more about punting than I do. Is he the best punter available? Yes. Brett Kern, fucking one of the best punters in the league. He's also worth

$2.75 million this year. Rookie punter Ryan Stonehouse probably with $600,000 or whatever, $500,000. They're going to go... Punters always get squeezed. They always make the decision to go with the cheap guy. Even if it's fucking Brett Kern. They got a banner of Brett Kern outside that stadium. Fucking banner outside of that guy.

Had a banner. Yeah, see, they'll burn it down. Tracheus or whatever the fuck the dragon is. He's a robot, too. He'll be good in Buffalo. He's a robot. He would be the pun good in Buffalo. Like, he is a robot. He would be the punter, I think, in my head for Buffalo because of how windy it is. Somebody's going to pick him.

Maybe the Colts sign him. Hey, maybe the Colts get rid of Hawk, who had a fucking great weekend. The Hawk had a great weekend for the Colts. Maybe Hawk goes back to the Bills. Kern comes to the Colts. Maybe I'm just wishing that to happen. I love Matt Hawk. I want to let him know.

Brett Kern's a guy. Brett Kern is going somewhere. Thank you so much, Ian. We appreciate you, buddy. All right. Good hanging, guys. Take care. Hey, let's stay sober

so we have shit to talk about the next 10 days or whatever. Put the bottle down. Next two days, definitely. All right. Appreciate you. All right. You can wrap it up.

Hey, man! Football is 10 days away at the professional level, so we will be reacting to all the moves made to rosters around the national football league college football is already happening had a major upset week one couple of them actually not only did northwestern beat nebraska and continue scott frost losing streak as the head coach of nebraska long is he going? I mean, they just got him like a lifelong deal they can't get out of. Yeah, I believe I read something that he basically went to the AD and kind of almost like renegotiated his contract so it was easier to fire him at the end of this year or this year if, you know, it wasn't up to Northwest.

See, he's a stand-up guy. That's why everybody talks about him. He gets it. Cornhusker through and through. I don't know. I mean, it's funny that they didn't fire him because, like, Nebraska football always, you know, it's like they still act like it's, you know, the mid-'90s when they were winning national championships

and stuff like that. But they really haven't been nationally relevant for, you know, quite some time. Yeah, in my life, I don't think I've ever heard of them mattering. No offense to Nebraska. No, that does not. I mean, Eric Crouch is like the last time. When Eric Crouch won the Heisman, that was in like 97, 98.

Yeah, that was like the last time they were. I know they're like a white linebacker factory, right? Sure. Oh, yeah. Bill Compton. Putting studs out. Just studs out into the league. But they have stunk every time I've ever watched them play football.

I've only been watching college football the last, you know, little bit. So take that as you may. Nebraska Cornhuskers fans that are hearing this. But they've got to feel the same way. Get this fucking guy out of here. Maybe let's win some games. Northwestern gets a surprise win. Even though Fitzgerald's been there for how long? Long time.

How is he still the coach? Yeah, but how? He kisses his players. But how is he still the head coach? They were 14-point underdogs in the opener of the season. He's been in his regime for like 10 years at this point. Why is his team so fucking looked at as terrible, and he's still the head coach of a Big Ten team?

Well, he's got to deal with those fucking academic standards. He loves it there. 2020, I think they made the Big Ten championship that COVID year. Oh, yeah. They're all, I mean, they are tough. Last year, they were bad. Offense was horrible. But, you know, Northwestern will show up and fight okay i love pat fitzgerald i like it looks like he's gonna get on the field i think he headbutts people too he does the whole thing

but i just started thinking like how scott frost have a job when he does lose then the follow-up question is how is pat fitzgerald still have a job if he's fucking 14 point underdogs opening week against a dog shit nebraska program that has say something about them, but they get to win, so let's see how they do this year. Yeah, and after that run where they won like 10 games, I think like a couple years in a row, they were talking about NFL jobs because I know he – I believe he interviewed or like a lot of people were talking about him getting the Packers job

after McCarthy got fired, and I just think nothing ever happened there. But it is interesting that he hasn't moved from Northwestern to, you know, like the SEC or a different Big Ten school that's a little more prominent. A little easier to get the kids in there maybe. Yeah. Because Northwestern, not easy at all. I think they looked at me after I hit a long field goal at a kicking camp a month before signing day.

Northwestern looked in. What's his grade? All right. If you weren't a fucking jackass, you would have been one, which would have been good for the rest of my life. They get a big win opening weekend. Also, don't fuck around with Jacksonville State. Hey, Rich Rodriguez is going to fucking have them boys win.

Not that they didn't win before. I think they won like four games or something last year, upstate of Florida State and had a little bit of a run. But Rich Rodriguez is going to have this team fucking hunting. They were up 42-17 against Stephen F. Alston. What? They were ranked 10th. What?

They were up early. What? Then Rich Rodriguez said, get your fucking piss out, boys, and lost his mind. Look how pissed this dude is. Third quarter, 3 minutes and 13 seconds left. He's up 42-17 17 which seems to have the game pretty much under control his team's not supposed to be good over the number 10 team he

is fucking ready to fight whoever and that is why jacksonville state will be very good and that is why this man will be the head coach of an sec team or a Big Ten team within the next two to three years. Do not think Rich Rodriguez is just going to go sail into the sunset with Jacksonville State and just kind of go under the radar. He's going to get them into a powerhouse. He's going to be able to recruit whoever the fuck he wants in there, and then he's going to have options yet again. I got a chance to chat with him when he was coaching for Mississippi State.

No, Ole Miss. He was coach for Ole old miss he was offense coordinator for old miss and i got to chat with him a couple days before the game because i was with the media me hassle back adam amin molly mcgrath recovering games on thursday night football in a remote broadcast style which is just trash like it was just absolute trash we couldn. We didn't even get a replace because it was all on such a big delay. The fact that we, whatever the case, it was a lot of fun. Hasselbeck, Adam and me, and Molly were awesome. The whole crew was absolutely awesome. I think they should have maybe taken it a little bit more serious, but we were going against the NFL, so I can understand.

We called the Egg Bowl down there. It's my first time getting to chat with Rich Rod basically since he left West Virginia and I left West Virginia. And, you know, it was interesting. It was like I was kind of excited to chat with him. And I asked him, I said, were you thinking about being done? Because whenever he was at Arizona, a lot of shit came out, big things happened.

He got fired, let go, he went off on a thing. Then he came back with Ole Miss. I was like, were you thinking you were going to be done? Like, oh, he went off on the thing. Then he came back with Ole Miss. I was like, were you thinking you were going to be done? And I think his exact quote was, I was thinking I only needed two, three more years. But after everything went down, I think I got some fucking time.

That's cool. So, I mean, Rich Rod, I think, is on a rocket ship right now. Like, everybody forgot about who created this spread offense. Because I know, what's his face. Who's the guy that was coaching in the XFL? Hal Mumme. Hal Mumme gets a lot of credit for this air raid offense creation. The spread offense, if you look back, Rich Rod was one of the first.

I think he was doing it either at Clemson or somewhere else. Then whenever he got to West Virginia with Pat and Steve, obviously he went crazy. Now everybody's doing an iteration of it Rich Rod's like, yo motherfuckers, I forgot and he is going to have that Jacksonville State team winning games and he ain't going to be happy about any of it

and that's what everybody at Jacksonville State needs to know I'm actually kind of pumped to see what he does where he goes and I'm pulling for him, to be honest Hour 2 here at Talks to Tables here at Ty Schmidt, at Boston Connor, at Tone Diggs. Joining us now is one of the faces of college football, the face of the Ohio State, college football national champion,

Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup champion, COVID survivor, multi-time, A.J. Haas. A.J., when's Ohio State's game against Notre Dame with Jack Harlow performing? 8 p.m. Saturday night. Let's go. Ohio State's playing well. They're working out with Bobby Carpenter.

Obviously, that was something they were missing a year ago. What are you expecting from that game? And are you guys pumped about college football starting over there in Columbus, you know, a town of college football? I mean, I'm super pumped. I mean, you talk about a way to start your season. You've got a night game against a Notre Dame powerhouse with Marcus Freeman as the head coach who once played at Ohio State, who was a great

linebacker, and James Laronitis, three-time All-American, is also on the other sideline, too. So there's a lot of cool storylines here. Are you the guest picker for game day? I do not believe so, no. Who is? What the hell? I think it's Jack Harlow. Oh, did he go to Ohio State? If he's performing, then he'll be the guest

picker. Well, they said they put out a release, a performance by Jack Harlow. I did not know that that meant guest picker Jack Harlow as well. The internet just started. I mean, the internet's going to do what the internet's going to do. That's just what the internet's going to do. But I thought to myself, AJ Hawk is prominent enough to be a fucking guest picker on YouTube. Yeah, absolutely.

Isn't it? It should be. So I actually took a little offense to them. Like, they got an Ohio fuck right there. Literally. Wait right there. Waiting on them. Would you have done it if they asked you to?

And how do you think you would have fared? I'm sure I would have done it, I guess. But, I mean, there's a billion people. Why don't you choose Archie Griffin? He would come in town. I'm sure he's going to be at the game. Why do they got that guy on there? Only two-time Heisman Trophy winner ever.

So why not bring him along? Look at you. I love that about you. That's so Ohio of you. Yeah. Just saying. I can't perform either. Jack Harlow, that's a multi-talented guy.

He can do a performance and be a guest picker. He's going to bring a lot of juice. I understand Jack Harlow's nail tech knows how to keep a little secret. Okay? He doesn't wish for his success. He fucking speaks it. I'm a Jack Harlow fan, but I think a lot of people

were very confused on he is noted, open, Louisville fan. Huge. I don't take else. I chuck him up and I hand him out or something like that. That's actually what he says.

He's a Louisville guy. Whatever the case, are you going to the game? Are you going to be on the sideline? Are you cheering for the boys? I will be at the game. I'm going to be cheering from the stands. We have a 20-year national championship reunion.

I told you about that. It's a big whole weekend full of stuff. Oh, let's go. Boots on the ground. So you're telling me 20-year national championship celebration. Everybody from that team is going to be in town? I don't know about everybody, but I've been on the email and text chain. There's a ton of people coming, and coaches, too.

That's why I'm excited to see some of the coaches. Here we go. Then why the hell is Jack Harlow picking? Everything you're saying here is just leading into it. I don't know if ESPN knows that we're having the reunion. I mean, I don't know. Isn't that kind of something? How would they?

By the way. Why don't they have Herbstreet fucking as guest pickers? Yeah, sure. Maybe that's what they're thinking, because Herbstreet's an Ohio State guy. They're like, we already got our Ohio State guy. Let's just get Jack Horlick. He's calling the game, right?

Lou. Yeah, bring in Lou Holtz then. Bring in someone from Notre Dame. Yeah. Fucking Jerome Bennett. Give me Lou and Lee Corso. Rudy. Now we're talking.

Give me Lou and Lee Corso in a side-by-side. Well, I don't know if they're calling that off. Now we're talking. Could you imagine Lou? Ohio State fans would have to cheer for Lou Holtz, right,

even if he came out full Notre Dame hat? They would cheer for him, and then when he picked Notre Dame, they would boo him, for sure. Would he pick Notre Dame, or would he know that Ohio State – He's picking Notre Dame. He's picking Notre Dame now that Brian Kelly, that sack of shit, I had to go on a little hiatus from our holy mother because Brian Kelly killed a kid.

You know, he was a bag of bones. But now that Marcus Freeman's there, we seem to be trying to turn to the time. Notre Dame's looking really good. We do not know if that's what he would actually say. That is just a prediction from Ty Schmidt on what Lou Holtz would potentially say. We mean no disrespect

to that at all. None whatsoever. I love Lou Holtz. We love Lou Holtz. I mean, his's a doctor. He has the Medal of Freedom. Did you, by chance, see the Athletic article, though, about possibly replacing Lee Korsak? No, no, no, no, no. Because it was awesome.

I sent it to Foxy earlier. There was a lot of tweets. It is sweet. Yeah, here we go. Look at that. Huh? Yeah. Yeah, but nobody beat me and everybody on that list.

Yeah, but, I mean, who cares? Above Saban. Come on. You beat Timmy Thibault. Yeah. And Feinbaum. Feinbaum is a master of college football. Tony, how many people voted for this?

They said everyone. I think 4 million people voted. Yeah. I think so. I thought I saw that number somewhere. I saw a lot of people tweeting me on Saturday. Everybody needs to know this. Okay.

Delay is always. Okay. You can take this down. Thank you. Jesus. People also wanted you and John Cena to can take this down. Thank you. Jesus. People also wanted you and John Cena to call a game together. That was pretty cool. What?

Yeah, they wanted you to do it from the Great Wall, though. That was the only problem. It was an alternate Mandarin cast? Yeah. You didn't want to do it in America. What are you talking... I don't even know what you guys are talking about. Okay, I don't...

How the fuck does John Cena End up in this conversation Please He's in all What we're talking about He wanted you to call game With him apparently He really was in there Yeah actually

He was in all three branches Let's move on The only way you could be The all time leading Killer and tackler Is you could play For all three And you serve in all three

Trying to jump into The Coast Guard Coast Guard The There were some Dutch special forces That got shot here in Indianapolis. Yeah. This weekend.

By who? Indianapolis. Yeah. Locals. Residents. What were they doing there? Well, that's what we all said when we read that thing. Freaky, deaky Dutch stuff.

I don't know if they're doing it. The clog festival in downtown Indianapolis. I don't think that's it either. I don't think these are cloggers. I believe these are pretty badass humans. 40 miles, I guess, south of here, there's a fucking urban training site where the Dutch Special Forces and who knows how many other people come in. Ooh, like Blackwater. We just learned about this today.

As we were reading this, like, holy fuck. The Dutch Special Forces got killed downtown Indianapolis in the entertainment district. The fuck's that mean? Does that mean everybody's boozing down there? At 3.30 a.m. something happened. They got shot and killed, and that's how we learn about it. I'm like, whoa, how many fucking – do we just got the global Special Forces folks

walking around downtown Indianapolis? Who am I not supposed to say, fuck off to around here? Well, there is a SEAL school in Indiana, right? Isn't there a seal school in indiana right isn't there a sniper school in indiana in the indiana like i think north i'm not 100 sure i'm pretty sure actually he was able to go take your digs take your course he wants to do like a tactical course right maybe drive on down i look into it the place is called muscatatuck we looked it up this morning it looks sick i've been down on camp atterbury a a couple times to go say hello and thanks to everybody that's there. I guess it's a pretty happening fort, like last stop before going to a lot of places.

So if anybody wants to fuck around and find out, I guess come to Indiana. Yeah, see what happens. But did not know that. Did not know that was the case until found out a guy got killed. And they should maybe start recruiting for him. Yeah, no kidding. He entertained the killers. Are there any suspects? until we found out a guy got killed. And they should maybe start recruiting for him. Yeah, no kidding. The entertainment. Are there any suspects?

I think this is going to be a thing. Indianapolis has a lot of killers. You shot him out in public. I would imagine they're at least looking to see who did it. Multiple people killed. So that's every weekend here. But the fact maybe that it is special forces from Dutch. What does that mean?

What's Dutch? Netherlands. Holland. Yeah, Holland. That's all the same place. Boss rooting. Bang it up, bang it up, bang it up. I wonder if they tried that.

And then the Indianapolis guys, excuse me, excuse me. Bang it up, bang it up, bang it up. Get the fuck out of here what are we even doing indianapolis is quite a place we're dutch special forces getting killed here is something it just kind of saw me in my track but let's get back to it um everybody stop judging you know lee corso sure okay aj guys the legend could you imagine being on a one and a half second delay at the age of 90 or whatever on tv in your own backyard at this point with everybody else on there. I mean, they got no shot over there.

No, he was in an impossible situation almost, too. So, yeah, he's an absolute staple of college football. So, whatever's going on right now, I don't know. I guess he's going to be back on set next week, though, correct? Yes. Oh, yeah. Kirk actually let off the entire show by saying, don't worry, we will all be live.

This will not be the normal of this show because he knew it was going to be tough. Hey, good self-awareness said by old Herbie. Literally right away. That's smart. Now, I tuned in late, so I did not see the proclamation. I was just watching going, what the fuck? Are we in COVID again?

Why is this happening? But then as it's breaking down, next week they're all the way back i can't wait for it herbie helps lee a lot i'm a little worried once we're halfway through this nfl season where herbie's doing you know the thursday night game to the friday to the saturday game day to the saturday night game that you know maybe game day gets a little less you know help from herbie because of the fact that he has to do all this shit in like a three-day span um the whole thought of us being a part of the college football landscape this year

is a big responsibility, AJ. Huge. Okay? So when you're out there boozing with your boys from 20 years ago, reminiscing about the good old days, putting your little college pants and your college liver back in your body, go ahead and remember to be looking around, surveying the scene, getting some intel that we have boots on the ground at the biggest game of week one aj you

legitimize us please don't forget that in the middle of all your fucking national championship boozing that you're going to be doing this weekend i will see what i can do yeah you're right i have friends or as some people call it sources on both sidelines all around that place so i will see what i can do Are you just gonna be walking around you are you peacocking right to fucking mid? Are you dot knee? I? Wonder who is that's a big deal whoever's doing it this game We're fairly probably a band member a lot of band members they get to do it urban Meyer is urban man, he might He might.

Hey! And then he does this, right? The dot the I? Yeah. Just like that. This show sucks. I don't know if he's going to... They might need some more time to pass before he does it. Dot the I or just travel the college football season around,

crowd to crowd, town to town. That's coming Saturday. Dang, Wayne. Are they going to Columbus? No, I don't think they're on the air this game. It's an ABC game, so they only go to where Fox – the noon kickoff game, right? Got it. All right.

Well, I hate that we have to pivot away from GoHead. No, I was just going to say, how good Ohio State is this year? Notre Dame's number five ranked team in the nation. Ohio State's 17.5 point favorites. Jesus. That's the separation between the teams, right? We just don't know.

Notre Dame, new quarterback, Ohio State, Heisman, frontrunner, yeah, they don't know. And the horseshoe? Is that what it's called In the horseshoe? Yeah. Is that what it's called? The horseshoe? Yeah. Ohio Stadium?

A.J. Hawks. The field has been named. Safe flight field. Oh, congratulations. Doing business. Safe flight repair. Safe flight replace. Safe flight repair.

Safe flight repair. See? Well, just got breaking news in the back that people will be calling that Fleshlight Field. Whoa. Well, if Herbs is dotting the I, then yeah. Ha! Ha! All right, it's time to move away from college football because, you know, we are college football experts.

Yeah. And we've talked enough about it already. Sure. Jackson State going to win the FCS. You're welcome. There's a prediction early. Scott Frost not going to end the season as Nebraska's coach. Probably not.

There's a prediction early. And on Saturday night, 8 p.m., this dude's going to be hammer drunk, waltzing around the field like he owns the place because he's friends with everybody coaching on it, both teams. That's pretty sweet. Hey, thank you for that, AJ. Let it go, Hawk. I'm sure we'll get a lot of good info.

Are you guys wearing your rings? Are you taking that thing up around your pinky and putting it down on there? Is that what you're doing? Mine is not here in my possession, so I don't think I will have mine. This is the only time you're allowed to wear it, right? You can wear it whenever you want. There's no rules. Okay, yeah, you're allowed to wear your jersey to training camp, too,

and nobody will say anything. This is one of those times where you're supposed to, right? This is one of the times. Maybe. Maybe. Get you one of these. I think it is. That's your Bob's wearing his.

Why don't you put yours on, dude? I don't think that's going to happen, but you know what? I can't wait to see the guys. Did you auction it off? Akeem Nix got $117,000 this weekend for his Super Bowl ring. Yeah, what? It is now time to continue to chit-chat about the NFL in a fashion that is unprecedented. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to feel the beat.

Feel the beat is an incredible segment in which we are able to dive into the real roots of teams, the boots on the ground, the people that cover these NFL teams closer than anybody else to let us know what's really going on down there. Joining us first, who covers the Pittsburgh Steelers, an absolute yinzer legend, a man who kept a Rudy sub

in his cargo shorts for four to five hours, rolled over on it on his bed in a hotel room, remembered he had it all. I'm going to take this down. Ate the whole thing. Lived to tell the story about it. Ladies and gentlemen, two Achilles blown, still surviving and thriving, Mark Caboy.

Hey, Marky. What's going on, Mark? You're forgetting they were camouflage cargo shorts. That's very Pittsburgh-like. That's because I couldn't see them. Kaboli, thank you so much for joining us here. Mitchell Trubisky, the starter. Kenny Pickett, the backup.

Everybody feels good about this Pittsburgh Steelers team. You think, Kaboli, after camp is now wrapped up? Nah, not really whoa well I mean first of all the majority of the people want Kenny Pickett as their quarterback even though Trubisky showed at least throughout training camp in that last drive two minute drive that he's probably the best guy for the job and all you got to do is watch the offensive line for about four minutes and realize Kenny Pickett will be in there somewhere near the second quarter of the Cincinnati game because they still haven't gotten much better whatsoever.

And then you throw T.J. Watt got injured and Johnson got injured. And that eight wins might be a difficult thing to come by right now. Really? Mark, what was that with TJ playing and guys getting some time? What was the decision behind all that? Good question. Good question. Because you know what?

Last year we were told numerous times by one Mike Tomlin that TJ Watt, as he was doing his hold in, did not need any training camp, did not need any preseason games because he was one of those athletes that didn't need that thing. All of a sudden, he's in there in the second quarter of a third preseason game against the Lions, getting his knee taken out by Hawkinson. So I don't know which one to believe. I'm assuming here that T.J. Watt was probably in Tomlin's ear saying,

I want to play, I want to play, I want to play. That's nice and good. But, you know, after the third play of the game where he had a tackle for loss, I'd probably yanked him out. But now he's going to have to deal with this knee injury. We don't know how severe it is. Tomlin said it wasn't that severe. But, I mean, it seems like a mixed messaging here

from mike tomlin of whether or not tj watt needs to play or does not need to play i guess he needed to play yesterday and see what happened well we're going through the proper professional procedures is what uh mike tomlin said yesterday in a very smooth response about putting the team together we'll go through our proper professional procedures. I'm like, damn, this guy is such a good orator and a good speaker. And I assume if you mentioned what you just mentioned about T.J. Watt last season versus this season, he would say situations are situational. Everyone calls for it to be treated in its own fashion,

which makes a lot of sense. T.J., happy he was playing or no, you think, going into the game? Oh, he loved playing, of course. He tries to get out the punch at the end. He's not going to shy away. But the entire defense played yesterday. Hayward was playing into the second quarter at halftime. Minka Fitzpatrick was playing.

So it was pretty much a dress rehearsal across the board for those guys. But, you know, sometimes you have to make business decisions and say you get out and bring in Hamilcar Rashid or whatever his name is, the backup guy right now. The backup guy right now. Gaboli, we're supposed to go to you to cover the team to tell us shit we don't know. I don't know how to pronounce his name.

It says Hamilcar, but I don't think the name is pronounced hamilcar so you sound like us all right anyways caboli i i would i would like to see hamilcar out there please yeah so let's see what hamilcar's got right naji harris has been battling a liz frank is that accurate is he going to be healthy for the regular season? He should be. And let me tell you something. If he didn't get called into Mike Tomlin's office before, he will now. Because Mike Tomlin does not enjoy players telling any sort of injury news. So for him to come out yesterday and say, by the way, you know, this foot, it wasn't just a sprain. It was a Lisfranc sprain or whatever it was. I guarantee Tomlin's all down his rear end today or tomorrow,

whenever the next time he sees him. Because one thing he does not stand for is players telling the media injuries. But he should be okay. It happened early in camp. So he looked decent. But once again, we go back to that offensive line. There's not going to be much room for him to run. I mean, I see a lot of 10 carries, 37 yards.

No! Gloom and doom from Caboli. It's tough. There's just no holes. There's no holes to run. And you know how that is. If there's no holes, you're not going to get any. You're not going to get yards.

Troy fucked me over. Go ahead, Tony, your question for Kaboli. After gloom and doom, maybe bring him to light. Kaboli, open the fucking blinds over there. Let the sun in. It's okay. Go ahead, Tony. Mark, where the hell was Chase Claypool yesterday? He's been hurt.

He's been hurt three separate occasions. He's fine back practicing. Yeah, he was, and he got hurt. He hurt his shoulder, then he re-injured his shoulder. I'm not quite sure where the victory of the week is this week, but he wasn't in there as well. There's about a dozen of them or so that did not play. I saw Deontay Johnson after the game.

He had a sling on his shoulder. It didn't look too promising, but they said he should be okay. I don't know. Once again, Claypool, if you're in a fantasy football world, I would not probably draft him early in the game. But just for the fact that he's been injured so much and it's going to be a lot of catch up for him I think

Kaboli Pickens continues to be a dog there's another video of him coming out acting like he's running a route putting a lion directly on his ass he's still nothing but glowing reviews let's get a little positivity here hey Pickens is still a dog, right?

You know what? In my true sense here, I'm going to stay with the negativity here because, you know, we've got to keep these guys grounded, right? Because they all watch you. Of course. But it wasn't me. It was Mr. Trubisky asking, throwing a little dart at George Pickens after the game, saying, you know, it would be nice if you tried to catch

the ball with two hands and not one. It seems like he wants to be on ESPN highlight reel more often. So there was a couple occasions receivers tried to catch the ball with one hand and did not come down with it yesterday. Pickens was one of them. So, you know, maybe a little soft-tip dart that Trubisky threw. You know, he got it out there. there and pick and you saw the play. I mean, what do you do?

You press the guy. He's going to knock you on your can every single time. If not, he's going to run by you. I still think he has tremendous upside, but he needs to learn catch with two hands. Okay, I heard the Kenny chants happening yesterday in the city. That's the only thing that everybody's super high on, it sounds like, Kiboli, is that Kenny Pickett's a guy? Kenny can do no wrong.

If you tweet Mitch Trubisky or Mason Rudolph, you will get destroyed on social media, and one of two things will be absolutely sure. The avatar picture will be of Kenny Pickett, or the bio would have hashtag H2P held up it. Absolutely. I feel bad for Trubisky because the first interception or incompletion he throws week two against the Patriots in Aquashore Field,

he's going to get absolutely booed out of the stadium. The guy has no chance. The entire stadium just comes. I mean, it gets so bad that my brother texted me yesterday at second quarter and said, where's Kenny Pickett at? Why isn't he in the game? I'm like, because he's not the starting quarterback. What do you want him to do?

Is that what you told your brother or what? Did you say, hey, you fucking Mark, dude? He's a Pitt guy, so of course he's, it's like, of course he represents the entire region of Pitt fans. Kenny Pickett can do absolutely no wrong right now.

He hasn't done much wrong, but there's a vast majority that believe that he still should be the quarterback September 11th. And they're going to let everybody know. HTTP, baby. HTTP, I think, is what the thing is. It's all right, Cabola.

You don't need to be looking at your negativity and your mentions because it seems like it's oozing into your brain. All gloom and doom in Pittsburgh. Maybe we'll turn it around. That's what Feel the Beat's all about. That's just me, mostly. I'm always the gloom and doom in Pittsburgh. Maybe we'll turn it around. That's what Feel the Beat's all about. That's just me, mostly. I'm always the gloom and doom type of guy. Some people refer to me as Eeyore. I'm not quite sure what that means.

Oh, who said that? Asshole, that's an asshole. Yeah, geez. You know, the joke's on them. I don't even know. I never watched Winnie the Pooh. Yeah, you fucking losers. Ladies and gentlemen, Mark even know. I never watched Winnie the Pooh. Yeah! Fucking losers. Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Caboli.

Yeah, Mark! Oh, my God. Feel the beat. Took quite a turn here. Ah, he did good. AJ, did you hear that? Was there a lot of negativity on your end, or was I gassing that up a little bit over here?

Well, maybe he's just trying to, you know, he knows the boys are playing very well, and he just wants to keep them humble. All right, maybe. I mean, he said he knows everybody watches down there. Not that Tomlin's doing a bad job of it, but I need to let them know their shit ain't sweet right now.

There ain't no roses around here. This team stinks. Is that what he's saying, Tom? Well, as of last week when Ty and Connor fucking... Let's have Caboli on the name. I said, oh, that's great. That'll be a ray of sunshine for the show. Now, he was not, by the way. No, he never is. Made me laugh, though.

It's all Tommy Kern. I thought it was hilarious. Yeah, it was awesome. It was very Tommy Kern. Don't you say a lot of Pittsburgh people have similar delivery in how they view the team? Well, that's what Feel the Beat's for. Let's move to a new city, a city that we haven't been.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to once again feel the beat. AJ hasn't been able to feel the beat yet, but hopefully he'll get some feels at some point. Joining us now, beat writer for the Tennessee Titans. Broadcast, Outkick360. He's been writing about the Titans for a long time. Whenever I was playing, this man and I got a chance to chat numerous times. Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Kuharski.

Hey, Paulie. Hey, Paul, listen. This segment's called Feel the Beat where we go to beat writers from around the league. Seems like a lot of the beat writers incredibly negative about the team that they've been following all training camp. How do you feel about the Tennessee Titans? Last year's number one AFC seed going into the playoffs.

Now their odds just continue to fall. No sportsbooks have any respect for them. What's going on in Nashville, Paul Kowarski? Well, they are not going to be the number one seed by any means in the AFC. But they're a playoff caliber team largely because they've got a coach who knows how to find a way to win games no matter what kind of parts he's got. But they've got big questions on the offensive line and that wide receiver. Very good defense, though, and a running back, I think, who bounces back from missing half the season last year in Derrick Henry.

I think people are a little hot on the Colts, quite frankly. And I think the Titans still have an edge on the Colts, starting with Mike Vrabel. Hell yeah. Go ahead, AJ. What about Malik Willis? We know he's flashed and made some special out-of-the-box plays in the preseason. What do people there feel like between he and Tannehill? People, I'm sure, were all on board with Tannehill,

but do people feel like Malik Willis might be the future someday? Yeah, starting next year. But, I mean, Malik Willis is going to fade into the background now. People are hoping he'll be the number two, which I think would put him in position to come in in some special packages, throw some wrinkles at some defenses. which I think would put him in position to come in in some special packages, throw some wrinkles at some defenses. But Tannehill's been a good regular season quarterback here,

despite, you know, he's a play-action guy that works off of Derrick Henry and can be very effective. He hasn't elevated any receivers, and he needs to do that, and he's steadily declined since 2019. Last year threw far too many picks. The question starts for him in January. He's not as good as this stack of great AFC quarterbacks, and he's been terrible in his last three playoff games. He pretty much single-handedly lost that playoff game against Cincinnati

while the defense was sacking Joe Burrow nine times. Put him in January. Can he do enough to win a game? Can he do enough to win four games? No. He's not going to get on a roll and win four games and win him a Super Bowl. So, you know.

I feel the beat is really quite a vibe here. Ryan Tannehill, probably because of a lot of what you said, echoes a lot of what other people have said. Number one seed in the playoffs, having the most amount of players, I think, go in rotation due to injuries and everything else.

Wonderful coaching job by Fraves to get there. Tannehill had to do something during the season. They lose to Cincinnati. He said he wanted to do it like a dark spot, a dark space. Has that kind of resonated, do you think, with the team? Is that how everybody felt after last year? And have you felt that in training camp for the Titans this year? Well, I think they were over it by the time training camp started,

and they needed to be. Everybody's got to start with a clean slate and wash that stuff all the way. But John Robinson, the general manager, was still crying about it. Like literally, he shed tears at the combine. It took him a long time, the whole team, to get over it. I wish that they had funneled that emotion into producing a win with home field advantage, a game away from hosting the AFC championship, instead of doing all the lamenting after the fact when they when they couldn't get

it done given every advantage um but they every advantage what was the blew it away the advantage was home field and a week of rest and and the Bengals who are not known for for uh you know post-season success and nine sacks again did I mention that they sacked Joe Burrow nine times yeah that's incredible your defense defense showed up, obviously. Tannehill went to a dark spot. Maybe he'll come back even better. Drafted another quarterback in the third round. It was supposed to go much higher.

So I am excited to watch the evolution of the Titans. This is another Tannehill-Mariota situation. With Malik, with how many highlights we shall see as the season goes. You don't think so at all? No, no, he's not. He's not. Look, you've seen the highlights. You haven't seen the lowlights. The accuracy's bad he uh he runs too quickly he's unwilling to

throw he's made progress in the three games and he's not close to being a starting quarterback in the nfl and that countdowns for 2023 not for october or november all right can't wait to watch malik in a year from now after another year of NFL football and NFL brand. God came for Liberty. Dang it. Come on. It looks good.

You guys caught Brett Kern. She still have the banner outside the stadium. What's that all about? That was a money. You know, I need to go look at those banners, but he said that, you know,

the day that Ryan Stonehouse showed up, he'd only seen three or four guys, Pat, that hit the ball like he did. And he knew he was in for a tough competition. Buffalo obviously looking. Maybe Indianapolis, better commute for him. But he's going to be kicking somewhere in a couple days.

Stonehouse obviously has a massive leg. I've enjoyed watching him. He's a great athlete where he dropped the snap on purpose, let it hit him right in the dome, go down, picked it up, kind of ran for a first down. But Brett Kern has been like automatic, literally automatic for you guys. Every game, am I wrong in misreading it? Like he is always good for you, right?

Yeah, he's been terrific. He did miss some games. COVID got him, and he had another injury or two over the last two years. But the guy's been an institution here since 2009. He played for Jeff Fisher, now the senior most Titan, Taylor LeJuan, five years less experience. So we're going to miss that institutional knowledge and that great guy who's been just a great citizen of Nashville for all this time.

Great partner. His son and my son played together a little bit, went to school for a while together, and he's going to be a Nashvilleian no matter what. So we'll certainly still see him around town, but I think he's going to be a commuter now to one of these other AFC teams probably. I actually say congrats to the Bills immediately upon it being announced

because he is an actual robot. The way he kicks would work in Buffalo, I think, would work in the windy conditions. I am – I'm a massive fan of Brett Kern, so I can't wait to see where he goes. And if we let Matt Hawk go after the night he had the other night and we pick up Brett Kern, let's go. I am excited about that as well.

Last question for you here. He's from Buffalo, by the way, originally. Oh, jeez. Right. So, sign sealed the letter. I'm yours. He bombs balls. Yeah.

He's a robot, too. That is what you're looking for at the punter position. Give me a jugs machine. And that's what Brett turned his last question for you here, Kowarski. Go ahead, Boston Connor. Yeah, Paul. Tannehill also has two new top receivers for Tennessee. How has Traylon Burks and Robert Woods looked for him, and how long do you think it's

going to take for them to have that kind of chemistry that they need? Well, Robert Woods has done really well coming back from that ACL. I mean, he practiced every day, no veterans days or anything like that, and the Titans are usually really cautious with somebody coming back. So that's been a good sign. But he hasn't gotten great separation on the days that he's worked in team periods. So curious to see how much they can scheme to get him open. Traylon Burks up and down. You know, he's not going to be A.J. Brown out of the gate.

And letting him go, trading him and saving all that money is going to hang over this team's head until they get some explosive plays. I don't see explosive plays out of this receiving core right now. Paul, how many wins for the Titans this year? I'm not a big predictor, Pat, but I think 10-ish. Okay. 10-ish. Hey, that's good in the AFC. AFC's going to beat each other down, I think, everywhere.

Tough schedule. Yeah, tough schedule for everybody. Can't wait to see what you guys do down there. Thank you so much for joining us, Paul. You're the man. Stay out of those canals, Pat. All right, Paul. Stay out of political conversations.

You know what I mean? I do. I do. Yeah, me too. I hate politics. Yeah, smart. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Paul Kuharski. Yeah, Paul! political conversations you know what i mean i do i do yeah me too yeah smart all right ladies gentlemen paul kuhn hey all those guys that go to outkick i have like like he wants that he's been

covering the titans for a long time and they just signed with outkick i think he's on outkick 360 and i just assume outkick is just all politics all the time they do have a sports wing right i assume they have a full sports wing i assume so but i think so so it's isn't it a sports company i don't know found it's one yeah part of it is it i don't know i don't know what else what do they do maybe it's sports and politics together right from the right side yeah that's what it is right sports and politics from the right side and and then sports and politics from the other side is who they are combating all the time, right? Yes.

That is their, like, it is the, so it is kind of the, it's still the politics world, right? I think so. The company is, yeah. Yeah, it feels like there's a lot of stuff with Outkick that is political. Well, I mean. They have, their shit goes, though. Oh, yeah.

I mean, it goes. Clay Travis used to be, like, though. Oh, yeah. I mean, it goes. Clay Travis used to be like the big SEC guy, and now he has kind of transitioned into like the big politics guy. Yeah. I bet you he loves it, huh? He does a non. He took over radio. He does a non-sports radio show now, doesn't he?

Yeah. He has to love it, I assume. I don't know. I assume, yeah. He put out one of the Rogers clips about the. Stooge. Yes. Hey, we're in the Rogers clips about the... Stooge. Yes. Hey, we're in the middle of Feel the Beat right now.

How'd you feel about... Did you listen to him on Rogan? I haven't heard all of it. I've heard maybe half. I've heard the clips. I've seen the clips. It looked like he was having time of his life. Big smoke coming from those cigars, by the way.

It looked like a blast. And obviously, the world will react. The world will react to this as well. It's time to continue to feel the beat. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now has covered the Bears since 2001. He's been on the beat for Chicago Tribune. He's a contributor to the Mullion Hall Show

on 670 The Score. Ladies and gentlemen, Brad Biggs. Yeah! Brad, we appreciate you. And before we even get started, I'd like to let you know that Feel the Beat was a segment that was created so we could talk to beat writers to learn a little bit more about the teams that are being covered in a deeper fashion

because we are just, you know, kind of stooges on the Internet talking from a high level. It has turned into a massively negative segment from every beat writer pointing out all of the flaws of the team that they are covering. I don't want to say I hope this doesn't go that way, but I feel like it is. How are reports out of Chicago? Justin Fields was awesome, wasn't he, Brad?

I heard he was awesome. Saturday night. Great. 14-16, 156 yards. night. Great. 14-16. 156 yards. Yeah! Pat, 14 completions to 10 different targets.

They move the ball around. Fields gets out of preseason having completed 77% of his passes. He took only two sacks. No turnovers. Holy holy hell the bears won the super bowl so fast my friend they've got but you know what this season for a brand new head coach in maddie berflus a first-time offensive coordinator in luke getzey a new general manager

and ryan poles it's about determining what you have in the quarterback that they invested in a year ago. Where are things going to go with Justin Fields? Can he be the guy that replaces Sid Luckman, who played slightly before the time you guys did? And they need that quarterback solved, the position figured out in the worst possible way. We'll see.

I think that preseason was encouraging. There were some questions in camp. The offense looked bumpy in practice, to put it nicely. There's questions about the offensive line. But you have to feel good about what he put on tape in preseason. You mentioned the offensive line. That was always the question coming into this camp, I feel like. Can Justin Fields do it?

We have enough time. How do you feel now that they've had a full training camp and preseason about that offensive line they're going with a lot of youth you're looking at a fifth round rookie in Braxton Jones out of southern Utah at left tackle guys there haven't been many day three picks that have started as rookies at left tackle in the National Football League over the last couple decades. Doesn't happen very often. They've got youth right now on the right side of that offensive line as well. So I think they want to see how those guys can grow. Obviously, Fields can protect himself a little bit because he's got rare

athletic traits, but they need to improve. That offensive line played poorly a year ago. And you say, well, what did GM do? Not a lot of big investments. The biggest signing, Lucas Patrick, out of Green Bay to play center, he's out with a broken right thumb right now, $8 million two-year contract. And it's not like they poured money into the receivers either.

The biggest investment there, Byron Pringle on a $4 million one-year deal. I said, I highlighted him last night, actually. Him and Travis Kelsey were celebrating because Travis was like 13 or 12 in the top 100 list. And I saw Pringle come running by. I was like, we haven't talked about Pringle at all for the Chiefs. Turns out he's on the bench. Just learned that. That's why we do feel the beat. That's awesome. That's great to Pringle at all for the Chiefs. Turns out he's on the bear. Just learned that. That's why we do feel the beat.

That's awesome. That's great to hear. He should make the team better. Ibra Flues was known for being a big accountability guy, kind of a hard-edge guy. Everybody's going to work their asses off. This is his first time as head coach in the NFL. What is the team like?

What is the culture like with him as opposed to maybe coaches in the past, Brad Biggs? You touched on the right word there, Pat, and that's accountability because you hear people talk about culture all the time. It's this corporate buzzword. You know what your culture is in the locker room? It is what your record is. If you're 8-9, you've got real average culture.

If you're 13-4, you've got fantastic culture. If you're 4-13, your culture stinks. But to me, culture is about accountability. And he's holding these guys accountable. And what you're seeing is maximum effort and practice. I can tell you, they don't practice as long as some coaches. They go about 90 minutes. That's about the longest practice they have, but they go hard for the full 90. You see them playing hard in preseason. So I think he is getting this thing started in the right manner, and I think the players are encouraged here too. They feel like they've got an opportunity to get in on the ground floor here.

Okay, Ty Schmidt, owner of the Green Bay Packers. Brad, the defense, kind of all the stalwart pieces have been stripped. A lot of those guys aren't there anymore. We don't necessarily know what's happening with Roquan Smith. Do you think there's more concern about the defense or the offense going into this year? About the offense. I mean, this team hasn't had the quarterback situation figured out in forever,

and we talked about the offensive line. And Darnell Mooney's the only real proven consistent threat, I think, of wide receivers. So way more questions about the offense. But I think there are fair questions about the defense. Can they rush the passer? Can Robert Quinn pick up where he left off last season when he set a franchise record for the Bears with 18 and a half sacks? You look at Robert Quinn's career history, guys,

and he's been a fantastic pass rusher in the league for a long time. He hasn't put together back-to-back seasons of really getting after the quarterback since I think you've got to go back to 2013, 2014. How is he as an edge guy? They've rebuilt the secondary. Two rookies to keep an eye on, Kyler Gordon out of Washington and Jaquan Brisker, the safety out of Penn State. Those are a couple pretty good players.

What about Roquan Smith? I know Ty mentioned him. Anything new? Are they – like, will they continue to talk? Is there any chance he's there after this season? A chance. How does he play? Let's see him play that Will linebacker position in this scheme.

Lance Briggs played that position at a very high level, seven Pro Bowls as a member of the Bears under Lovie Smith. I think Roquan has an opportunity to be more of a playmaker in this scheme than he was in the previous scheme, but we've got to see him on the field. We've got to see him do it. They've got the franchise tag at their disposal after this season. It's a little tricky, though. That tag number for linebackers next year in 23 should be north of $20 million.

Do you really want to put that big of a figure on a guy who isn't an edge rusher? Okay, last question here, Brad. We can't thank you enough for joining us. Brad's been covering the Bears for 21 years. Sheesh, damn. It's a long time. You know your ins and outs. Obviously, NFC North football is not easy, especially with

kneecap on MCDC. How many wins this year, Brad, for the Chicago Bears? What do you think people would be happy with? What do you think people would be sad with? And what do you think it actually is? Happy with eight. I think your normal fans who aren't drinking Kool-Aid from morning to sundown,

they'd probably be happy with something around 500. I think people would be dejected if this was a four-win team. I think they'll probably be somewhere in the middle, six wins, maybe seven if they can make some offensive gains as the season goes along. Brad, last question from Viva Lozito. Go ahead, Zito. Hey, Brad, I love the Kool-Aid over here. I think 10 wins.

But what do you think about the new stadium in Arlington? It's a matter of when and not if. They want to get out of Soldier Field, which wasn't a great stadium when they opened it in 2003, guys. They'd like to control their own situation. That's not going to happen overnight, but we could have an announcement maybe before the end of this calendar year. Oh, we appreciate that.

That's what Field to Beat's all about. You hear that positive? Yeah, hell yeah. You hear that optimism out of Chicago? We appreciate the hell out of you, ladies and gentlemen, Brad Biggs. Football is almost here. It is right on the tip of our tongues. College

football is happening. We can't wait to watch that. In the meantime, as we wait 10 days for NFL football to take place, it will be the Rams and the Bills next Thursday night in SoFi Stadium. We are jacked up. To my left, to your right, is college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, COVID survivor, and Ryder Cup champion, A.J. Hawk. Welcome to the A.J.

Talks at the tables here outside Schmidt at Boston Corner. The flow is incredible. Hey, thanks, Pat. Yours is too. Look at how long it is up there. It's getting real long up here, A.J. You know what I mean? It is. You growing is incredible. Hey, thanks, Pat. Yours is too. Look at how long it is up there. It's getting real long up here, AJ. You know what I mean? It is. You growing it out? Yeah, I think so, but I'm going to be in these middle

stages here for a bit where I can't really do anything with it. You know what I mean? You put it in a top knot pretty soon when it gets a little longer. Yeah, I'm not there yet, though. I mean, it is going close, though. Closer than you think. I appreciate that. You can throw a hat on, too, whenever you're thinking like, ah.

I don't like hat on air because everybody thinks then you're trying to hide or you can't really see my face and everything like that. But, I mean, at tone digs, one half of the hammer. Cowboys wears a hat on air. It is what I'm doing. And it is awesome, though. You look awesome. Well, sure. Yeah, sweet.

Tony. You do. Tony. Yes. Still wearing that thing, huh? He don't want anyone tapping into his brain and getting all of his great ideas. Got a sweet helmet. Did you listen to Zuck on Rogan?

I've heard little clips of it. I haven't listened to the whole thing. Why? He said there's new Oculus coming out? Oh, yeah. There's looks sweet. There's a couple new ones, actually. Hey, listen.

He said he would dominate you in that boxing game. Okay. Okay. So he's lying the whole time. That's what I thought. Well, he's a robot. Misinformation. I'm thinking about diving back into the Oculus so I don't become a full fat ass.

This is what I'm going to do, AJ. You let me know if it's right. I'll intermittent fast Monday through Friday. Weekends, eat everything. That should work. Yeah. Right? Yeah, do it.

I think so. If you want to maintain, yeah. Look at me. You'll make gains that way. You'll be good. There's no way you can avoid what is going to happen on the weekends for the football. So you can't even say whatever you want. Come Sunday morning, it is inevitable.

I'm eating Schefter's pizza. What? Yeah, sweet promo. Don't eat that. Schefter got a fucking Papa John's. Congrats, Schefter. There you go, sweet promo. Don't eat that. Chef, you got a fucking Papa John's. Congrats, Chef D. There you go, Chef D. I don't know if that's going to make the food better,

but I am pretty pumped up about it. It's hard not to dive into pizza and wings on a Sunday. Sure, it is. It's impossible. Really, AJ has been able to maintain the discipline and not do as such, and that's why. I love pizza. You know that.

Yeah, but you never eat it. You eat it once a year or whatever. I do. I just don't eat it six times a week. No, we're just talking about Sunday. It's literally what we're talking about right now. We're talking about on Sundays. Great.

Set realistic expectations. That's right. Like a lot of people go, oh, I'm never going to have sugar again. Like you can't do that. Well, I was doing that for like six, seven weeks. It did work, and I did lose weight. But obviously, immediately upon eating sugar after that, I spiked right back up to my weight. I am trying everything I can for this football season not

to become a full-blown fat fuck. I'm trying my best. The Hawk House is going to be a big part of that, AJ. I heard that gym is going to look amazing over at the Thunderdome. We'll see. What I want to do is whenever stuff takes a while, whenever you guys are all set up there, I'm going to come in and then I got some

ideas once it's already set up of where I'd want to come bring in a few extra little accessories. Everybody's working their ass off at the Thunderdome, I do believe. I'm not sure if they have been this entire time, but I do know now there's a lot of tidying going on. We're almost finished over there. We're getting very close to moving into the Thunderdome. Very,

very close. I mean, there's one person who might come into this particular studio and wreck everything before we move out of here for a good piece of content. we will definitely celebrate what this place has been but i cannot wait to get into the thunderdome aj hawk it's gonna be awesome man i mean i i assume do you go over there regularly um yeah i mean talk to your dad he's there every day isn't he yeah what what happened i love texting tim about about everything over there me too why what happened tim's the best i mean tim just the report you know it's like feel the

beat pull his gun on you no i mean probably but it is kind of like that it's like feel the beat when i talk to tim there's not a lot of positive coming out of there it's like all right boom this happened boom this happened boom this happened It's like, all right, boom, this happened. Boom, this happened. Boom, this happened. And I'm like, all right, appreciate it. Is everything else okay? Yeah, but I mean, boom, this happened. Boom, this happened. I'm going to stay out of this for another week so it doesn't bring me down because we're paying a lot of money and there's a lot of high expectations. But Tim, Sean, everybody up there, CFO Phil have kicked ass. It's been quite a process. Obviously a manpower these days. There's not a lot of workers.

So kind of having to piece that whole thing together. It has been quite a ride. And I can't wait to get there. I did see what was supposed to be my desk from my office for the first time this weekend. Sick. That can't happen. So sick. Obviously.

What happened? It's that desk right there basically. It's basically that desk right there. Without wheels. Hey your desk is up there in your office. You want to go check it out? Oh that's awesome. Yeah I haven't seen basically. It's basically that desk right there. Without wheels. Hey, your desk is up there in your office. You want to go check it out? Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I haven't seen it.

I'm going to go up there. Walked in, looked at it. That ain't my desk. Who? I assume you had like a big old custom-made desk, like with a fish tank in it or something. No, no fish tank, because I don't want to take care of the water,

but I would like something that isn't a fucking Ikea put together. Mickey Mouse. You know what I mean? Just a little professionalism, but we'll get something that isn't a fucking Ikea put together. Mickey Mouse. You know what I mean? Just a little professionalism, but we'll get all that type of shit handled, and we'll be in there soon. And AJ, we've already announced Chuck's going to be in there weekly. Yep. AQ's going to be in there weekly. Hell yeah.

We have more announcements too, AJ. AJ, aren't you going to be in there weekly live? Yeah, I should be. What? No way! I am so fucking happy that AJ Hawk is going to be live in stew all year on what overreaction Monday

yeah most likely Monday yeah we're going to call it overreaction Monday I cannot wait we already got graphics being built Yeah! We're going to call it Overre-AJ-tion Monday. Great name. I cannot wait. We already got graphics being built.

Let's go. It is exciting, AJ. I'm very, very excited about this. I'm excited to see everything going on there. I mean, football's almost here. That's crazy to think. Yeah. It is here, dude.

It is here. It's fucking right here. Yeah. There's like 800 players getting cut today, isn't there? Yes. 1,000, I think. There's like 800 players getting cut today, isn't there? Yes. 1,000, I think. There's going to be 1,000 transactions this week,

is what Bill Belichick said. We'll have to keep our eye on that. In the first hour, Ian Rapport told us he feels that there'll be some sort of resolution or sign of resolution for the Jimmy G thing within the next 36 hours. That's a big deal. Yeah. Because the league year – wait, when does the league year start? tomorrow four o'clock so it has something has to happen by then we don't know we don't know we don't know we don't know because what if they keep them then oh is that the resolution they're going to keep them on the team until they think they can get rid of them and get a better trade

and if they let them go it's like okay they'll let them go we got a new saga here for jimmy g is that what he meant by that or he's just assuming that there'll be something to talk about tomorrow. But how are they going to keep him, though? Are they really going to just eat $20 million and then release him after they play Seattle week two? It makes no sense. None of it makes sense. Schultz, our guy. Yeah.

What's he say? Starbuck. They can't touch Quill's peach tea. No, no. They can. Hold on. They cannot touch Quillills peach tea no no they cannot they cannot touch quills peach their peach iced tea is going to become a regular until we move out of here yeah it's top notch delicious delicious iced tea it's a big boy i think it's like 16 20 some ounces they pour right to the top ice cold oh my god Perfect amount of peach to the tea ratio.

I would recommend, never mind. I don't do that anymore, so why would I recommend it? What do you mean? College, I got addicted to using peach vodka and iced tea. What? And then you know how much vodka's in there because of the amount of peach taste, and it was the perfect spring, summer treat.

Okay. There was numerous springs and summers in Morgantown where you'd not see me with an actual jug of peach vodka and iced tea in there it was delightful and i think that's why i like to quote so much every time i take a sip it's like almost a little nostalgia spring in morgantown and their taste buds just start going oh we're back we're having a good time we are back in a good time of the year it's like yeah we are thank you quills ty now went over there this morning yes so coolest looking dude of all time again he gave us the greatest peach tea what a morning we We are back in the good time of the year. It's like, yeah, we are. Thank you, Quills. Ty and I went over there this morning.

Yes, we did. Saw the coolest looking dude of all time. Again. He gave us the greatest peach tea. What a morning we had. I love Quills. That really is. I mean, you kind of have to temper the excitement for getting into the Thunderdome and the realization that I'm not going to be getting my peach iced tea from Quills every morning anymore.

It's difficult. I had to fight through the menu to find what I needed, but I knew that that place, with the way they run, with the people that are running it, that I would find something I would love in there. Turns out, it's fucking peach tea. It's on the side menu. It is.

It is. It's on the side menu. Yep. Yeah. This place sounds like it stinks. I'm just going to be honest. I've been over there once. It just doesn't sound fun.

Hey, I know nothing about a place. It stinks. Exactly. I know plenty about it. I know there are scones. It stinks. I know plenty about it. I know there are scones. They serve cow's milk. If you really wanted it, you could probably get it. I think they actually in the back have a...

Yeah. They got udders in the back. That's pretty authentic. I don't think you milk it. No, I think they have somebody that milks it. That's the next step. After handcrafted cocktails, that's the next one. You put the milk in your coffee straight from the cow.

Thanks, Larry. It's like the Flintstones when you know how the animals are actually there to do it. That's what we're going to get back to, almost the Stone Age, where the cows are going to be standing in spots at little coffee shops, and you have to walk up and see. You've got to eyeball which cow probably has the best tit milk. Then you go up to them and go, I want this fat one.

Then you're out of there. I do love Farmer's Table so I'd be on board with that. I don't think it's going to happen at Quill's though. I don't think it's going to happen over here. I don't know where they put the cow. It's going to smell good. That place is so nice. It is. They got about two weeks left. We'll never be there ever again. I'll still talk about the glory days of that peach tea, though,

because it is fantastic. Schultz said that they're planning on keeping Jimmy Gito after week two so he doesn't play for Seattle is what he alluded to. Do you really think they care that much? Schultz's an insider. You think Schultz is full of it? No, I don't, but I'm just saying, like, is it that big a deal if he goes and plays for the Seahawks, for the Niners?

Yeah. If it is, why don't they just fucking keep him and play him? Like, if they're going to pay him that much money, why is Trey Lance on a working deal and you can't just, you know, wait? Yeah, because Aaron sat, what, three years. Three years. You can. He just went to the NFC Championship. You can't just have him wait a little longer.

Is that going to make him worse? But he hasn't been there, though. Like, how they already started it, though, with Jimmy doing his own thing on the side field and saying this is Trey's team. Now it feels like, hey, we've gone this far. We can't keep him now

and bring him back into the fold. Shanahan's win-loss record is like 39-42 or something like that. Yeah. It is not good. No. As I saw that stat, I just assumed Shanahan,

great coach, this fucking guy. Been in the Super Bowl. He's won with everybody. They went to the NFC Championship. Like, I just was like, oh, Shanahan, great coach. He's locked in forever. Then in that one preseason game, they put up his fucking record, and I was like, that is a fireable record.

That is a fireable record. Now, they've been kicked out of their stadium one year. Jimmy G got hurt. They're playing like the four-string quarterback. So there's a lot of excuses for why the loss column is the way it is but still do you think shanahan and lynch feel a little bit of heat that they have to play this guy that they traded for that's why train lance is automatically going to be the start of this year and they're choosing not to and have chose not to at all ride out another year jimmy g even everybody likes him yeah but i mean if that's the case then like why not wait until you know that

the guy that you traded for is going to be unbelievable as soon as he goes in instead of being like, hey, he's got to get reps now. If we don't put him in now, he's not going to be good. He's still very young. Joining us now is the man behind the rumor of keeping Jimmy G into at least week three so he doesn't end up in Seattle. Ladies and gentlemen, insider for the insider, our friend Jordan Schultz. Yeah, Jordan!

Schultz, you had a Quills? Is that a Quills? No, I was walking the streets of New York, and I got the call. Come on on. So let's go! Let's go, Schultz. I appreciate you yelling in whatever New York uppity store that is.

Flip it. We got the Hawks. Is that your store? Do you own that place? I'm in an apartment. All right, Schultz. All right. Hey, I want to let you know I love your life.

Okay? You're going to check out Serena Williams' last ride over to US Open. I'm going tonight. I'm going tonight. Yep. Okay, Schultz. Boots on the ground. Let us know the energy.

Let's talk a little bit about what you reported, though, about Jimmy G maybe being with the Niners until week three. Is that a lean? Is that a feel? What are you talking about, and how do you see it working? Who's telling you this stuff? Well, that's good. So when I was told... Mickey Mantle's glove? Yeah.

When I was told when we last spoke, fellas... Is that Mickey Mantle's fucking glove over your right shoulder right there? No, Ichiro. Oh! Legend. Bro, that dude's just fucking slapping balls. Yeah, yeah. Player of our generation.

What a legend, dude. What an absolute stud. Could still play if he had to. Oh, yeah. He wasn't full costume, right, throughout the opening pitch? Yeah, fucking 95 right down the middle. Just got inducted. Hey, that's sick, man.

Go play catch with that. You'll probably get another one tomorrow if you had to. You're fucking Schultz-y. But what are you talking about with this Jimmy G and them being scared to release him because they don't want him going to Seattle? Yeah, so what I was told when we last spoke, fellas, was that basically the Niners wanted to find that happy medium and try to trade Garoppolo during the season

to actually get value for him from a team that needed a quarterback. Maybe someone was struggling, someone gets hurt, but that's what John Lynch, that's what his preference was. Subsequently, that's why he has not been released. That's why he has not been traded yet because they haven't been able to find a partner. And now you start to think about 24 hours from now, the 4 p.m. deadline. What does that mean? If they keep him, they got to pay him 20. It's a 25 and a half million dollar cap that they would either have to insure or they would be able to say,

we don't need that anymore. You're free. Go ahead. You're released. He is ready to go week one. And what I was told was that basically John Lynch, the worst case scenario for them is for ready to go week one. And what I was told was that basically John Lynch, the worst case scenario for them is for him to go to Seattle because he doesn't want Jimmy to have all that information, even if he's not able to play week two. But remember, the Niners play the Seahawks week two. That's been something in John Lynch's ear. I think the bigger picture here is how they stand

with Trey Lance. Because if they actually didn't believe that Trey Lance wasn't the guy, then they could move forward and say, you know what? We have a Super Bowl caliber roster. Let's go with Jimmy. Because even though that is a lot of cap, they can afford it. They could do it.

That's how much they believe in Trey Lance. When I last talked to San Francisco two days ago, I said, where was Trey Lance when you drafted him? And where is he now? And the thought was, when we drafted him, he had basically played 11 games at North Dakota State. The progress he has made over the last year and a half or two years is incredible. And under Kyle's system, you're going to see some single wing. It's going to be pretty basic. They'll take their shots down the field,

but it's going to allow Trey Lance to be comfortable and work into it. Okay, so Jimmy G wouldn't stick around. They're moving on to Trey. Do you think Seattle definitely in the market for Jimmy G if he becomes available? And what do you think Jimmy G does, Schultz? Well, they've talked but Seattle like many other teams doesn't want to make the trade because they feel they can get him for much less and not giving up a pick after the after the deadline. Seattle felt like when they when they

when they brought in Drew Locke they they wanted Drew Locke to win that job. He did not win that job. And Pete Carroll said as much by saying, listen, Geno, he's earned it. Part of that is the comfort level that Geno has with the system having been there a few years. They liked that him and DK vibe last season. But they wanted Drew Locke to win the job. They also know that Geno being on a one-year, given his history, is not the future of the organization. There is value for them to go out and sign Garoppolo. They believe, the Seahawks do, that they're going to be competitive in the NFC West. I don't know if that's true, but if you were to bring in Garoppolo,

who's not without his faults, but is a legit top 20 quarterback who's been to a Super Bowl, who's been to an NFC championship, that's where you see that. I know they have talked, but they have not gotten far in trade talks. Jordan, what happens, though, if they cut Jimmy G, he's out there in Seattle. Is Seattle the only suitor, or where else could you see him possibly going? Is there a surprise team that may jump up and try to get him? Teams that I've talked to believe that there's three or four other clubs

that could potentially make a move. I heard Tennessee, but that was about a week ago before Malik Willis had a pretty good second preseason game. I heard Cleveland because obviously Deshaun's not going to play a week 12. That to me makes the most sense. And then the team, the wild card team was the Jets. You know, Joe Douglas obviously has Zach Wilson there. He drafted him.

He's going to be out about another month. I think we'll have to see how Flacco plays against the Ravens and what the status is of Wilson's high ankle sprain. But ultimately, if I had to rank those in terms of best fits, I would probably go Cleveland, Jets, Tennessee, whereas

Seattle is this ultimate wild card depending on how things shake out these first few weeks. Connor, for Giorno. Yeah, Giorno, it sounds as though Brian Dable wants to fire everybody that's playing for him or release them. Could you see Jimmy G going there maybe? And also, do you think that they're going to make some moves before week one or even before tomorrow?

You mean Dable doesn't love what he's seen from Kenny Galladay? Well, Schultz, he just fucking answered. Come on! Don't need you burying Kenny Galladay, alright? I'm not burying him, but Dayball said we're all competing. You know, so, Teron Taylor is going to be okay. He obviously had

a real scare yesterday. He was carted off the field, came back in street clothes. I was told yesterday and then again today that his long-term prognosis is good. Daniel Jones has played pretty well in the preseason. Not great, but pretty well. And I think that's a really interesting point in terms of the Giants because they have pretty much done everything they can this season to set up Daniel for success.

They've revamped the offensive line. They obviously, you know, they draft Evan Neal. They have Thomas now. They're bookending those. They have Saquon. They obviously bring in Thibodeau. They've really tried to give him weapons. And I think when you think about what Garoppolo could mean to that offense,

if Daniel didn't have a good start, it is feasible. But right now, from everything I've been told, fellas, is that Dayball wants to make it work with Daniel Jones. And really, if you think about his relationship with Josh Allen, obviously Jones is not Josh Allen, but he had so much success with the young quarterback there, he believes he can replicate it to a degree. We're talking to Giorgio Schultze, live from a New York penthouse in which... No, I'm on the ground, bro.

You can see it. Floor house. Got a little basic-ass street. Close to Epstein's own spot. Oh, my... Answer the question. Schultze. That was...

No, he was Upper East, so he's... Oh, so you know. Where are you at? Where are you at? You seem to be in a nice part of town. I'm in the West Village, which is... Jeez! Oh, shit!

Oh, my God! Oh, fuck, dude! Damn! Talking to Giorgio Schultz live in the West Village. Yeah, you heard it? The apartment he is currently sitting in is $10 to $15 million cash. Damn! If you need to buy it.

And he deserves it. This son of a bitch is a worker. That neutral glove is worth $10 to $15 million cash if you need to buy it. And he deserves it. This son of a bitch is a worker. That nitro glove is worth $10 to $15. Listen, he's getting upset about it. Hey, don't blow down the walls over there. There's going to be artifacts found there. You know what they call me when I go to the free throw line in high school? They would chant little latte.

Oh, that's a shot. Yes. It's a lot better than what fucking BYU was chanting this weekend at that volleyball game. Hey, listen. How's that happen? That can't happen. What are we doing? What are we doing?

Anyways, let's move on. That doesn't involve Schultz. We'll cover that after this. Okay. How's that happen? Just nobody say anything. Ridiculous. Multiple times they said. In public. We'll cover that after this. How's that happen? Does nobody say anything? We'll take a question. Multiple times they said.

In public. Isn't that like automatic? That was at Lavelle Edwards Stadium, right? That was at BYU. I don't think it was at a stadium, right? It was a volleyball? Is that an arena? Arena.

I mean arena, yeah. But why did it keep happening? Why wasn't that removed? That's what we're saying, Schultz. All of us are very confused by the whole thing and we hate that it happened but seems like in 2022 that's an immediate uh yeah you're never allowed to come back to a game let's this isn't schultz's bread and butter you know what is where's lamar's contract at schultz when's that thing is it is the next 10 days? Obviously, he doesn't want to continue to negotiate into the season. How do you see that thing going?

I don't think 50-50. No, I'm just kidding. I don't think it's going to happen before the season. Basically, what I've said all along with this is Lamar, I believe, deserves to get paid. this is Lamar, I believe, deserves to get paid. I believe John Harbaugh and the staff want to pay him, the front office. The issue is that Lamar Jackson saw what Deshaun got from a guaranteed standpoint, and he wants that plus another dollar. So he wants to have the most guaranteed money ever. He saw what Kyler Murray got, 46.1 second only to Aaron Rodgers. Lamar,

to me, the reason I say I think he'll get it, even if it's not right now, fellas, is because he has been such a model citizen. You never hear about him, anything bad off the field. He's totally locked in. He put on 20 pounds of muscle. They asked him to get a little bigger,

get a little stronger. He did it. He's only 25 years old, so he's still a very young quarterback. And again, they built that entire offense around him. Everything they have done from a draft standpoint, even this year going out and getting Tyler Lindelbaum in the first round as center, that revolves around the morning success. So I don't think he's going to get it within the next 10 days, but I do believe he'll be a Baltimore Raven for the next decade plus.

Giorno, I saw McEnroe talking to Greeny this morning about the U.S. Open and Serena and her kind of last dance type of situation. Do you think she's going to win the whole thing? Absolutely. Minus 300 right now. I know that she's dominated there, 23 Opens, and I don't think she's going to win it. Jeez.

My prediction is Coco, and the don't think she's going to win it. Jeez. My prediction is Coco. And the reason I say that is because, well, there's a little synergy here. Coco's first time she ever made money was when she literally was acting as a young Serena Williams in a commercial. And it was for Delta Airlines. And I love, I read about this, and I love the synergy here. I've been saying for the last two years that Coco's going to win the U.S. Open by the time she's 20. She's almost 20.

She's a year or two away. So I'm going to go Coco Ga. What do you guys think? Serena's winning, you fucking asshole. Come on. She got a cover of every magazine. She hasn't been playing very well. Oh, Schultz.

This is the U.S. Open, dude. She's due. What do you think. Oh, Schultz. This is the U.S. Open, dude. She's due. What do you think this is, Schultz? All these YUP events, is it something in there? Who will you go sit by? The founder of football? Who will be at these things? These are high-end, right?

There are high-end versions. You can go to the boxes. I prefer to sit GA. Common people. Common man. General admission. You can go to the boxes. I prefer to sit GA. Common people. Okay. General admission. You got to get on TV. Yeah, I'm going to send you a video of where I'm sitting tonight,

and you're going to be like, that's great. That's great. Man of the people. We're proud of you, Schultz. Thank you, Schultz. When do I get to come to Indy? What's that? When do I get to come to Indy to the new studio? When do I get to come to Indy to the new studio?

Well, you come check out Quills. They got this peach tea. Oh, look out. It's so good. You guys should end up in Starbucks the next day. If I hear about Quills one more time, I might throw this football in his freaking Ichiro glove. No!

No! No! No! Ladies and gentlemen, Jordan Schultz. Hey, it's time for one thing and one thing alone. After Hours, pal. Not a bad day. No, not at all.

We went into the show with rap booked. Yep. A-list or maybe both. Possibly. Then while we're live, Kaboli, Kaharski, and Biggs all hit us back. It's like, all right, we do feel the beat. I guess we're going to do. Then Schultzy from his penthouse in New York walking down the street.

And then NFL Films footage. Not a bad Monday, AJ. We did it. Where does Schultzy usually live most of bad Monday, AJ. He did it. Where does Schultz usually live most of the time? Wherever. He's got islands. High coastal? Yeah. I think so. Hops on a bird, flies back and forth, goes to Seattle, gets some information,

flies down to San Fran, asks them what's up, and then goes to New York to watch the U.S. Open, walk down the street, go in one of the apartments he owns. Exactly. Got one on every other block. How nice was that apartment? Are you kidding me? This shithole? Are you kidding me? It's on the floor. This is our guest apartment.

He's like, I only have a three-car garage underneath this one. We shouldn't judge him. That's not his fault. No, not at all. Hats off to him. Actually, respect, too. If you have that kind of money, I would have a fucking each-or-o-game worn glove. I'd wear it.

Sitting, yeah, at all times. Also, I wouldn't be an insider for the NFL because it's the most difficult thing to do. Yeah, I'd be hanging out. Yeah, exactly. I'd be hanging out, Quills Coffee. Yeah, running the Starbucks. What the other team called Small Latte. Yeah, Little Latte.

Little Latte. Little latte. That's a lot better than what those fucking BYU kids were chanting. What is the deal? Was it multiple people or who was it? Do we know? It sounded like it was multiple people. I mean, I can't believe there hasn't been a video that has surfaced yet from this. I guess

nobody takes videos in the Mormon religion or nobody takes video of that whole thing. I'm not hermson sure but just when it was first reported i was like okay i wonder what they were saying then it came out that they were saying you know i don't know how how that i don't know how that was the thing aj i don't i don't go to a lot of games right i go to the colts games but it's so many people i don't go to like gym arena games as often as I should. It's pretty obvious who's talking, too, right, in those things? Yeah, if you're in a gym, I would imagine, yes, you can hear.

If someone is – it was when this girl was serving, correct? Yeah, it's quiet. I don't think people are cheering when someone's serving. They're quiet for a second. This guy's – yeah, I don't get it, man. I don't know how the person stayed in the gym. What'd you say, Zito? They just said they banned a spectator.

So it was one particular spectator that was doing it. But I think everybody, as it was happening, was like, hey, Brother Jake needs to not do what he's doing. Bingo. You know what I mean? I thought we were all brothers in Christ here. Like, you'd think someone, you know, that was there. In 2022.

in Christ here. You'd think someone that was there. In 2022. And then the AD, just an absolute robot, reading that statement. I didn't see that. He gave a statement where he had a post-it note reminders to himself on his left hand.

The first time he looked down there, he came back up with this magical line. I am your athletic director. that was number one all right we are here this little it was the whole situation i don't know how it happens in this day and age but we'd like to let everybody know if we're around probably a smack or two in a month cracking schools can't have it can't have there's no way there's no way i do you know anybody that you know that would sit in a place and see that and be like oh okay and just ignore it 2022 that's what i'm saying like i not

that doesn't make i understand there are humans out there that think like that okay there's always going to be fucking assholes there's always going to be those people that needs to be known okay that we will never get to a point where it'll be a hundred percent of no hate all over the place we know that yes forever but in 2022 you would assume that the greater group would be 100% of no hate. It's all over the place. We know that. Yes, forever. But in 2022, you would assume that the greater group would be like, hey, that ain't how life works. Not even 2022. You would hope going back in time. But the fact that neither coach did anything.

Isn't there a ref sitting up there on the net? Yeah. A ref didn't do anything. The officials for the schools had to be there, right? Isn't there always somebody that travels? And they just sat back and were like, that's that's harsh yeah pretty good like how did that how does it if the person if the person was just yelling like insults to the there was oh you're terrible you suck i think someone would even stop them then what are we doing yeah because

i believe and this is just from one conditioning session with Austin Colley when Mitt Romney was almost president. I wanted to know what potential president believed in. So one conditioning session, me and Austin Colley, 30 minutes. He gave me the breakdown as best he could in that particular 30 minutes into what the Mormons believe. I believe the Mormons believe, and this might be wrong, so I will be corrected, I assume, from a Mormon who is not Amish. They do have electricity. They would see this. They try to live how Jesus lived.

So everything that isn't like right is a, what's something that is like? A stimulant? No, like baiting you. A temptation? A temptation. So everything's a temptation. Jesus wouldn't give in to those temptations. So everything is a temptation, basically,

and you're taught to not give in to the temptation. This is how we're supposed to live. So there's no way that Jesus, who might be black, by the way, if you go back in and really look into it, would be like, yeah, that's cool. So the thought of just being religious and being nice and not wanting to say something that's just not real at all i don't think so none of it makes sense to me on how it took place numerous times and nothing happened to i just don't i don't get it at all i'm sorry yeah i didn't

believe it at first i was gonna say bui is not like a regular institution either like every student has to sign an honor code like when you go there says, hey, I won't, that's predicated upon being- Won't have sex, you get caught, you're booted. Yeah, exactly. Can't have sex, caffeine, that kind of stuff. I'd assume there's something in here about not being a piece of shit and just- Like the biggest.

Right. We have a picture of the arena, I believe, that the Go Cougs love you. Yeah. So how many people did actually hear it then if there's that many people there? You can talk into the mic, yeah. Yeah. So how many people did actually hear it then? If there's that many people there, you can talk into the mic. Yeah.

So there was a lot of people actually doing it. Uh, Duke only caught one person and then they made the example of the person. And it wasn't even a student. It was like someone that was there as a spectator and they were like openly making threats as well, along with the slurs. So how do you,

how's that person even just sit through the entire thing? The piss out of that person. Yeah. Kick the fuck. Yes. Whatever. Yeah, kick the fuck. Yes, whatever. But how do they not get him removed immediately? I don't understand. I don't.

And who is it? Someone's got to identify this person, right? Well, it's Brother Jake. Son of a bitch. No, I don't know. I have no idea. I assume it's a white dude, though. We can all.

Yeah, it's safe to say. It's a white man. Well, it's like Utah, too. I mean, we've seen in the NBA with Russell Westbrook. It's not as if the Utah fans have had a great reputation. All right, let's go to the phones. Whatever the case, we apologize that anybody has to experience that in the world of sport. We are all about talking shit.

Hey, everybody listen to this show. This guy fucking stinks. That guy sucks. We are 100% okay with shit talk. We like, you know, rabid fan bases. I like hard environments to play in. But that type of stuff, come on. Can't do it, AJ.

Race never should play a role in any of those kind of situations. Because you make all sports look bad. And sports are one of the great, like, honest unifiers. Sports is one of the greatest unifiers in the history of the world. You can go back through everything. When there was World Wars taking place, sports were still something that everybody was agreed upon. That is still, to this point, to this day, what it is.

So we can't have it, AJ. Can't fucking have it. Let's go to the phones. I hope they find this person. Sounds like they did. I don't think it's that difficult, right? Yeah. Suspend if they banned one person's phone.

All those people. How is there no videos? Yeah, I know. Yeah. Is this championship here? Can we zoom in on some shit? We've got to find somebody that was there and heard it. Can we zoom in on that little screen up there on the right?

This has to be early in the season. BYU 24-23 against Utah. Oh, so that's BYU-Utah there? Yeah. Or Texas? Yeah. And this was against, obviously, Duke. Yeah, this isn't from the game. I'm just trying to see what game this was, if they had championship or something on there.

Is it always this packed out, I wonder? It's a great venue. I think there's a video of the girl from Duke serving, and I'm pretty sure it was packed out. But I think it's early in the season. I don't think it's the championship. Got it.

It's called a Smithfield House, which is obviously because of – Oh, okay. Joseph? Yeah. I believe. Did he cut the gold off the – Is that a sponsorship deal? No, I think – yeah, I think so.

George Albert Smithfield House, they cut some gold off of the gold plates and just gave them that and said, gold doesn't depreciate. We want the fucking fieldhouse. Seats 5,000. Let's go to the phones. They've played three games so far this year, three matches, whatever. All right. They can't depreciate.

They're number seven in the country. Gold doesn't. BYU's number seven in the country? So they beat Duke? Yeah, who won? They're 3-0, so. So they beat Duke? Yeah, who won? They're 3-0. So that makes it so much.

Come on. Volleyball is a great sport. I fucking love volleyball. It is. Watching it live is awesome. Yeah, awesome Olympic sport to watch every year. I like playing it. It's great, AJ.

I like two-on-two sand volleyball also. You know, AJ, when you go for that spike, bro, it's like you're pulling a bow and arrow. Okay? Oh, is that the proper form? Yeah, and then you pang up over top of that thing. All right, AJ? Point at that son of a bitch.

Pull the arrow. Bang! Right down. All right, AJ? Noted. Yes, I will make sure I do that next time. I got it in Nintendo. So what are you doing? What are you doing?

What are you doing? I'm like a bow and arrow. Okay, so you're saying four, four. Feed me a four out here. Put it high on the fucking candy cane, by the way. I'm climbing. Please. You go around.

Boom. Two feet jumping. AJ, you a two-foot jumper? Absolutely. I'm only a two-foot jumper. You turn that left foot in front straight sideways, and then you are through the sky as you're jumping.

Both hands, two ball, bow and arrow, snap that son of a bitch straight down. That's volleyball, that's good volleyball AJ. This makes me want to play either pool volleyball or beach volleyball. I might go try to find a game tonight. You should try to play in the gym. It's the best. I like being able to dive and not have to dive

on a basketball court. No, yeah, that makes it even better. You fucking pancake on anything? You can dive, get somewhat close and be like, got it, got it, got it. Just wear your elbow guards. I like two on two.

Two on two is better because if I play like the five on five, six on six, I'm running all over the court trying to hit every single ball. So that's why I like two on two. I don't want to stay in my position. Well, six on six, I'm running all over the court trying to hit every single ball. So that's why I like two on two. I don't want to stay in my position.

Well, six on six, you all have jobs. Yeah, I don't like that. That's boring volleyball when it comes to, for myself at least personally. I'm not saying it's bad, but I like two on two. Respect the game. Two on two, though, they can just serve it to the same person every time. Yeah, no, they can't because I'm running and hitting that sucker. What do you mean?

If my partner is not bringing it, then guess what? I will be all over that corner. Yeah, but you know, like, whenever they do this behind their back, they're like, hey, serve it to the fucking shit bag. Yeah. Good luck. Good luck, buddy. I'll figure it out.

What are you doing? You're going to jump up over the net and block a serve? Is that what you're going to do? Well, no, I'm just going to go dig it out, and then my partner's going to set me up, and I'm going to spike it right down their face. Okay, so let's say you were good at spiking. You. Let's say you were.

Okay. I'm going to assume you are are because you're a great athlete. I'm not just going to spike it. I'm going to mix it up, too, and have little touch passes over their head just when they think, oh, this guy's going to spike another one on us. Oh, my God, bro. AJ, let's go. I mean, just.

Let's play. You've got to have soft hands out there, AJ. Oh, I've got very soft hands. You know that. You saw me around the green. Is there a net in the. You were a great runner, though. We can add one in, I think.

On the court? Yeah, I think we could. Barbell's a fun game to play, man. Yeah, it's a great game. Great game. I love it. They have it in the new Nintendo Switch Sports. It's actually very fun to play. Favorite sport I played in high school, for sure. Probably because I took it least serious,

but we were very good. Good team, too. Good vibes. Great strategy. I love it. Let's not judge a sport by those assholes. Sure. That's right. Let's go to the phones. Hey, did you watch the Tour Championship yesterday? I saw a real little bit. I know Rory won

though, right? How many million? 18. Rory was awesome., right? How many million? 18. Rory was awesome. Six back, is that right? Yes. Rory was awesome. Sheffler had a terrible round. I think it was like plus three or plus four on the day.

He had a very bad round. But watching Rory kind of work was awesome. And especially with the way the season went, him being the face of the PGA alongside Tiger, him winning the tour championship and winning 18 million dollars 82 million dollars less than com smith's signing bonus to go play at live was a awesome awesome moment and i even gave a tweet out that said like hey thank you to the golf world for getting me through a lot of summer sundays you know obviously as the weather got incredibly excruciatingly hot,

you couldn't just go hang out outside during the summer. Sundays for me, a lot of watching of golf. I enjoyed it. It's why we mocked Liv. Like, hey, you can't have your last day be on Saturday. For sure. Everybody spends their Sunday watching these guys go to work. Rory winning, it's fantastic.

But shout out to all the golfers for a hell of a golf season. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, golfers. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, golfers. Thank you for everything, and congrats to Rory, and I can't wait to see the future of the PGA here as they do stadium shit and more money purses and everything. It's going to continue to crush, and the golf competition will continue, WWF, WCW.

We have the Attitude Era happening right now in the middle of golf, and it's good for the fans. Ratings have gone up for both parties. That's all you can really ask for, AJ. Competition is always good. Now, you could say they're diluting the field and all this stuff and taking away from the tradition and history. Yeah, I'm sure you are, but money has already gotten much better

for the PGA Tour players because of this other tour. Yep, concur completely. And he'll never do it, but could you imagine if Rory goes Hollywood Hulk Hogan next year and goes to live? Spray paints the beard. Yeah. Spray paints the beard. I mean, now that the Fattest Cup is over, though,

I assume a lot of players are going to live now because that was the time they were waiting. Mark Madden, I think, gave a prediction of seven more players going to live, is what he said on a tweet. Really? I don't know what he knows or if he's just guessing what everybody else is saying, but I think he said seven more golfers have. At least.

There was a guy, Sam Burns, who – or was it Sam Burns or Com? Com. Com Young. Com Young, sorry. Who was, what, second at the British Open? Or the Open, sorry. Who said that he was going to go to live, but the changes that the PGA made, so he's staying.

So already making lives, coming on, made golf better for these guys already. I think, AJ, we have said this, we didn't like that the only people being attacked for benefiting from a never-ending pit of money from Saudi Arabia were the athletes. I think that was our entire take. If we're going to get mad about this, let's continue to open our eyes

and see where bad money potentially is everywhere. And instead of celebrating everybody else that does it, let's also bury them like we buried the athletes who are benefiting from life-changing money from a country that we do not want anybody to accept anything positive from now we've already talked about all the different companies that have investments from saudi we've already obviously chatted about our government doing a deal with them we've already chatted about how hypocritical it is just to be mad at the golfers as opposed to everybody else

that was our take but i like the fact that the pga tour answered the bell they have we didn't know what they would do like i still want to know what's coming from the pga tour they're going to continue to have to come up with more money and different cool events to get people engaged and also make sure some of these young guys coming up some young studs that we don't know about yet don't go to live right away and try to come to make sure they go to pga tour yeah a little 10 million dollar bonus to come over young guys get get a minor league type start for them. I mean, that affects everybody. Yeah.

What will the future of golf look like? We shall see. It's going to be a big time offseason. Man, it's great holding this ball. It is great. When he turned that Jesus vegetable farm up there at the Thunderdome. Oh, yeah. The graveyard.

Into Frankie's beach pit. Because he said he'll take care of the sand. Yeah. Really? Yeah, Frank said he would take care of the sand. Nick said, you got beach volleyball there? He's like, who's going to take care of it? I will. All right.

Perfect. Frankie's Beach. Here we go. That'll be awesome. Can't wait. Can't wait. Are you going to come play, AJ? Oh, every Monday.

Yeah. I'd love to play. Yeah. Nick's going to be out there raking it every single day. Watch out for syringes. What? What are we? I thought this was Frankie's Beach.

Yeah, it is. But sometimes they slip through the cracks. The homeless people like to go do stuff. There's no homeless people up there. There ain't no homeless people up there. John McAfee ain't getting pooped on either. They'll find their way. I'll bring Coach Nolenberg out here, too.

He'll give a little session. He's still alive. Who? Your uncle. He's not my uncle, but I watched Running with the Devil as well. You watched it? Yeah, I finished it. Me, too.

Huh? That guy's a menace, bro. He's a menace. I mean, jeez. For a guy that, man, invented the whole antivirus situation for the computers to be so wild and just, I don't know. Credit to the filmmakers for putting themselves in the danger zone. You talking about the cameraman? My guy?

Yeah. He was the man. As soon as he showed up on the screen the first time, I started crying laughing, this guy. I'm going to go make some more coffee. In the middle of his answer. I'm coming back. How about the ladies, like cousin or uncle, whatever,? Just being the best lawyer in the area or whatever? Being the former state attorney or whatever.

Her great uncle. That's wild. The thing that really got me is if all these people that were chasing him were chasing him, they would freeze his bank like that. He was able to pull $1.5 million dollars out of a bank wild guatemala or something i forget i'm like i don't know if that fits the whole everybody's out to get me type thing because they have the ability to control that but he's still alive he is still alive like you mentioned you know bath salts will have you thinking yeah pretty paranoid thinking people are on your tail nonstop. Yeah, I mean, it certainly would expedite paranoia.

I smoked spice there for a couple weeks. Yeah, not good. Not good. I don't know if that's bath salts. Was that your path if you would have continued? Creating the antivirus thing? No, if you would have continued along with the spice, would you end up like John McAtee on a boat with 15 people and 30 guns well i don't know if i have

enough money to be able to do everything he's doing he's getting out of jail everywhere oh yeah he was awesome quickly awesome i mean like you know in the movie of life yeah the fact that that exists he's a real human wild character yeah it's awesome that he is committed to the bit completely he's committed to the bit. Completely. He's committed to the gimmick completely. And if that movie is anything like what he's actually like every day, he's going to let the world know he's still alive at some point. I mean, that's going to happen.

That's why if he is somehow alive, we're going to know. There's no way he can just be quiet. Well, he could do the Epstein round and just change his face if he has that much money. Well, he is a master of disguise. Yeah, just be a completely different person. He got a wig has that much money. Well, he is a master of disguise. Yeah, just be a completely different person. He got a wig one time. Not one time.

He's a master of disguise. That is something John actually claims to be. The stroking? I was like, what? Yeah, he had a cane and he was having a stroke. That was his character for a little bit, yeah. Sounds like he could be anywhere at this point. Yeah.

Because if you think about that Spain jail that he was caught in, and then he was going to get extradited back to America for tax and value fraud and all that shit, he could easily just say, hey, $10 million to you. Yeah. I'm dead, right? Yeah, fake my death. Want me to fuck out of here?

He was filming a documentary while in jail. He's in his cell, and his guy is there filming him. I'm like, I don't know many prisons where they let you do this. That was in Guatemala, I think. Somewhere. Yeah, I think that are filming him. I'm like, I don't know many prisons where they let you do this. That was in Guatemala. I think somewhere. Yeah. I think that was in Guatemala. Actual shots posing for pictures in his jail cell. Yeah.

Smoking six. Yeah. So I bought the jail. I was so, yeah. Spain isn't like a third world country though. No, no.

So normally in a smaller third world countries, I tend to believe that you could certainly offer up a shit ton of money. That is like movie like money. And they could say you're dead or whatever avicii for instance but in spain i don't know i don't know how it all works i don't know they left a cliffhanger at the end though you know he's too much he's too into himself though to be out there and not be loud somehow well another john mcafee thing would be, since he was so loud about how, I didn't commit suicide. If they said I committed suicide, I didn't commit suicide.

Then him committing suicide would be... Gotcha. Yeah. Just kidding. He got the last laugh. Yeah, would be a fool. Does his wife get any money? Janice? The gal that was working as a professional lady? I don't know. Janice, I think her was working as a professional lady?

I don't know. Janice, I think her name was. I don't know. Ride or die, man. Yeah, she was with him. Can you imagine being on a boat? When they were on that boat, I don't know how long, wherever you were, with how many people there,

and the drugs, and the guns. The dogs. How did that filmmaker guy stay on there? Three dogs. It wasn't three dogs. So many dogs, man. Give those away to somebody. Well, somebody will kill them yeah it's kind of how it all started the dogs are actually oh yeah they're kind of like the the dogs are kind of like the horse in the Trojan War it's

what started the whole thing oh kinda right yeah on the beach Greg, rest in peace. They didn't talk about any of the... He's still unsolved murder. Any of the dumps or whatever, though. What's that? Did he have final edit? All right. This is all the boys brought up, too, when we were trying to talk about it earlier. There was no...

You brought it up earlier. Well, yeah, but there was no... Callback. There was no Cleveland Steamer. Give us what we want to see. I know. I'm wondering if he didn't want that out there. Show us the hammers. Let's go to the phones.

Let's go to Connor in Michigan. What's going on? Connor on the 5RNG phone line. Go to 5RNG.com. Use promo code MAC for to receive 10% off your order of fantastic 5RNG products. They got a lot of different flavors. Go ahead and give them a go. What do you want to talk about, Connor? Hey, this is Connor from Michigan. Long time listener.

First time caller. Love the show, Pat. Oh, man. We appreciate you, Connor from Michigan. What do you want to talk about, pal? Hey, let me just set the stage real quick. It's Saturday. What? I said great. I can't wait. You're going to be Bob Ross painting this

fucking picture, Connor. Okay, check it out. Saturday afternoon, I whip out the Macintosh, start watching some college football. Jacksonville State, they're down 7-17. I pull out the FanDuel app, and I put $1,000 plus $400 on Jacksonville State. and I put $1,000 plus $400 on Jacksonville State. Bummer.

The game gets rained out, and FanDuel doesn't pay me my money. Whoa. I thought they did. They did not pay out live bets. What? Isn't that crazy? Yeah, Connor, that'll change within the next 24 hours. I appreciate you letting me know that. How's that happen?

Yeah, I don't know. That is interesting. And I said the same thing about the parlays. Yeah, I sent a text last night to the FanDuel folks. Let me read the exact words to the tweet that's sent out there. Let me get it.

They're still hurting from yesterday. Hey, you gotta pay that Jacksonville State victory. That's all I sent. Why didn't they pay? Because it got rained out. With how much time left? One quarter. They were up 25.

I think that's enough for them to document a win. I don't think they're calling that a forfeit. No way. And they were pretty big dogs. Yeah, it says Jacksonville State. Richrod's getting pub everywhere on how good he's doing, how they got the big win. Dane, by talking about how fucking pissed off he was

in the third quarter when they were up 25 over the number 10 team? He is awesome. He is awesome. Hey, he hasn't lost his hard edge. His piss is still hot. These motherfuckers ain't patting me on the back and telling me it's raining. I mean, this fucking guy is ready to go.

I put out this tweet, and I got guys from Michigan that played for teams that he coached, guys from Arizona from teams that he coached, Ole Miss teams that he coached, all just with a Rich Rod quote right underneath it. And I'm like, yeah, this guy is still the same guy. They're going to win. This Jacksonville State team is going to win. And fans don't need to pay people.

Yeah, come on. Do the right thing. That almost never happens. Yeah, when would it be considered an official game? I mean, there's only three minutes left there. That's what, you know. No idea. They clearly won the game.

Yeah, it's like 70% of the game has already been played. Road on Fet Live, Parlay, all that shit. So you had to make the bet before the game started to get paid. Well, originally they didn't even pay those folks, allegedly. I don't know why. Remember, there is different departments here. There is the regulators are a part of a massive part of the gaming side of it. Then there's obviously risk and trading department.

Then there's the score people. So it is a lot of moving parts over there. So I would assume that a lot of people in there assumed they were going to pay the Jackson state winners. Then somebody in the department that probably controls it was like, no, we don't have to whatever. So now there is probably a meeting in the minds happening over there. And that's got to happen so often for them.

I don't think so. This one feels like a fucking no brainer. Honestly, I don't know. I mean, the amount of money shifting though, every other book paid. Okay.

Yeah. This is a layup. Yeah, this one is a no-brainer. It's not a one-score game. Yeah, it didn't get canceled halftime when it was tied or a one-score game. They were beating the shit out of them. And I understand they're trying to beat us, just like we're trying to beat them. But this one is like, come on. Come on.

Let's not start to hear like this. Especially because it was an underdog, too. And they're over my shoulder. But as you can hear with me speaking right now, like, I'm pretty wide open. They do not control what we talk about. We are just trying to take all their money. But this should definitely be something that gets overturned.

Absolutely. You know, if it's a bad beat, that happens. Some people are like, oh, that's bullshit. We should do it. It's like, nah, it's football. Yeah, that's different. Like, that happens, you know? And I think we're pretty civil on it all.

I think we are pretty – we don't, like, push them too often. This one seems to be a, hey, come on, come on, let's not start the season this way. Come on, can't have it, won't have it. We weren't able to put a boost on and over for a preseason game. Yeah. Could be because they got taken. Now they got this. What's going on?

Taken for a million dollars on NASCAR. Oh, yeah, that was a big deal. I am so pumped about this. Somebody bet like $13.40, 49 cents, and won $999 million on a NASCAR race on a parlay away from FanDuel Sportsbook. This is fantastic. Tone Diggs, is this the biggest NASCAR hit in the history of NASCAR hits? race on a parlay away from Fando Sportsbook. This is fantastic.

Tone Diggs, is this the biggest NASCAR hit in the history of NASCAR hits? And I heard the reason why this hit is because it was a clusterfuck on the track this past weekend. This hit is once in a lifetime. I don't, this is, I mean, first off, you got the Nertec OTT number 51 Ford car, Cody Ware fucking top 10. That was like plus 2000 odds. And then you got the fucking NASCAR rivals that's a video game that's coming out that's number 78 Ford driven by BJ

McLeod okay that's another fucking top 10 then you got the Fox plus 2,000 again yeah then you get the Fox Nation number 77 driven by Landon Castle there's a top 10 in there fucking also long odds on that one plus 1,500 you kidding me and then obviously the select lines number 15 Ford by driven by David Reagan uh that was the shortest of all the odds but he came in the top 10 as well and that is just an absolute melee of bets that you get for 13 dollars and win a million what a day what a dream it's a life changer there huh absolutely plus 950 is a huge odds bet yeah okay that's huge how does this happen you would because i guess there was a bunch of accidents i guess going into this there was a that's daytona a racing podcast that

actually said like hey there's gonna be a lot of crashes at the top of this thing it's the way it goes not a bad little flyer to take on these guys who are gonna have good cars they did that multiple plus two thousands in one parlay is going to boost the odds to something absurd you add in a plus 1500 and a plus 950 what a fucking hit 13 49 13 49 cents to win 999 000 and some what as he's watching this race whoever hit this or she sorry about that little sexist while they're watching this race and they're seeing cars just get taken out and they're the only their top 10 are the last 10 cars to live here are you you're doing a full oh yeah oh i did it i hit for what 20 000 what was that one 25 000 25 000 I was fucking losing my mind. Yeah, that was a $500 bet. I couldn't imagine $13.49 turning into a goddamn million bucks.

Now the IRS will say, how do you do? Congratulations. We won as well. But what a life changer. And that's what it's all about. Responsible gambling. It's a scratch off. You have a feeling.

You have an inkling. And you're able to change it into a big fucking payday that will have to be paid. As opposed to in the past when sportsbooks were not legalized and it wasn't regulated. You hit like this, the offshore account that you were betting with, you ain't never hearing from again. Ever. Sorry about it.

See you later. We have no idea who you are and what you are. FanDuel is going to pay that. These dudes are getting it. Or women. Sorry about that. Getting this money, and now they're going to be chasing this for the rest of their gambling lives. Oh, yeah.

This guy may never win a bet again. Or a lady. Or a lady. It's a free bet, too. They didn't even deposit that money on the top. You see it's from FanDuel. Don't waste a free bet on one game. You fucking take a shot on those free bets.

And said human did. Yes. Congratulations. Way. Congratulations. Way to go. Big shout out to BJ McLeod, Cody Ware, Landon, and David fucking pulling through. Huge. Should have known, too, because fucking Marty and McGee were talking about the NASCAR race this weekend. I didn't do it.

I assumed it was McGee that won this bet. Did that come out? I thought it was Marty. Not yet. Marty was at game day. I don't know if he was focused enough. He was? I thought it was Marty. Not yet. Marty was at game day. I don't know if he was focused enough. He was trying to save it. Marty brought the energy.

He did. Always does. Let's go to the folks. Marty always brings the juice. Goddamn right. Yep. I watched him stand on the incline of a NASCAR track. I don't know how many years ago and do one of the greatest like opens

where they opened up the shot with him standing on the track and he went crazy for like two and a half minutes i love those ones where the camera is very far away and then it comes all the way in as the promo is being cut because that's one taker that's a lot of field time and then as it gets close you got to have your main i assume that's what you're talking about marty marty did one of those? Absolutely. Yeah, he nailed it. He nailed it when he knew, okay, this is only one time with this guy. He had those J's on.

Oh, yeah. His fucking hair looked perfect. Well-manicured beard. Is it almost Marty McGee season? It is. It is. Let's go. Always is.

All right, let's go to Steven in Sacramento. What's going on, Steven? On the 5RNG phone line, go to 5RNG.com. This is PromoCodeMac. If you receive 10% off your order of 5RNG. It will get delivered to your house and the energy will be magnificent. What do you got going on Steven in Sacramento? Hey AJ and the boys, how you doing?

Hey great, how are you? Doing well, doing well. AJ, oh wait. Alright buddy. There we go, there we go. i've got a two quick things one about hold on hold on steven steven steven hold on sorry you got inside source we need to get to that kid named ryan came to this poochella from ohio had ohio state wrestling on as a shirt he was with his lady great dude good. Good conversation. Call a flyer here. Loved amateur wrestling.

He said we need to talk to Jordan Burroughs, who I guess is an absolute dog. He's going for his sixth world championship coming up. Greatest amateur wrestler of all time, he said. It's awesome. Yeah, Jordan Burroughs is unbelievable. He won the gold already. Greatest wrestler of all time. Yeah, he's an amateur.

Five straight world champions, I guess. Championships. Going for six here in a couple weeks. Ryan, this guy from Ohio State, or from Ohio, he said, you guys need to talk Jordan Burroughs. Nobody's talked to him. He is the greatest amateur wrestler of all time. You know Dan Gable?

Are you talking about Kurt Angle? I'm talking about Dan Gable. I thought you were talking about Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle's great. Dan Gable fucking won two Olympic gold medals and didn't get a point scored on him in either one of them. No offense to either Dan Gable or Kurt Angle, who would be making an appearance on Raw tonight in Pittsburgh.

Good tie-in. I think Jordan Burrow is the guy. I think he is, like, the guy. I guess those two guys couldn't hold his singlet. Yeah, not true. Maybe Cal Sanderson, too. There's another one for you. 159-0 Cal Sanderson.

Boom. What's Jordan Burrow's? We're going to look it up. B-U-R-R-O-U-G-H-S. I guess he is the guy. An Ohio State wrestling guy. I gave him O-H. He gave me I-O because he's a fucking real Buckeye.

Of course. He's a real Buckeye. What? He's 128 and 20. Yep. Conversation over. I'm sure this guy's great. He ain't the fucking best ever.

All right. Anyway, sorry about that, Steven. O-H. I-O, baby. All right. Anyway, sorry about that, Steven. O-H. Hi-O, baby. All right. Inside sources. Let's get back to it. James.

I'm getting Jordan Burrows on the show. Sounds good. Before I get to the Jimmy G thing, I'm going to say, before I get to the Jimmy G thing, I just want to say I appreciate you guys. This is the best show of all time. Don't self-handicap. Say, no, it's not. This is the best show of all time.

I love you guys. We're not self-handicapped. We're telling the truth. One of the guys that I play golf with. Fuck off. Hey, say no it's not. This is the best show of all time. I love you guys. We're not self-handicapped. We're telling the truth. One of the guys that I play golf with. Fuck off. Hey, hey. Hey, Steven. But one of the guys I play golf with, he's really good buddies and went to high school

and college with one of the Niners lawyers. Here we go. That keeps everything hush-hush. Maybe you and AJ know a little bit more about those types of lawyers out there. But from my understanding, Jimmy G might almost be as bad as Deshaun Watson behind the scenes. Oh, Jesus Christ.

That's an Ohio guy. You heard it came in. OH. Oh, no. Let me drop some toxicity real quick. What's that all about? Can't have it, Stephen. I got a guy I golf with. He's friends with a guy that knows stuff. He's a lawyer. He says these terrible things about somebody that's damn near slanderous. What's his problem?

Why has Ohio got to be like that all the time? I don't think he represents all of Ohio, whoever this gentleman was. But what is he trying to say? Come on. I don't know. Let's go to Patrick in South Carolina. That's how rumors start. Pretty serious allocation.

Very serious. Very serious. Patrick, what's going on in South Cackalack, pal? Pat, AJ, boys, how you doing? Hey, keep it moving. So I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. Go boats. Go boats.

Go boats. Go boats. Talk a little Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I've been hearing and seeing some sniping from the sidelines, people giving Tom shit, and I think I can speak for the entire fan base when I say we don't give a single fuck. Tom will be ready to go. Week one, our franchise stunk before Tom came to us.

Hell yeah. If he was out there on an ayahuasca trip, he could have been motorboating around with John McAfee, and we know that he was running game reps in his mind, and week one, he's going to be ready to go. All right, Patrick, we appreciate you. That reminds me of something. We have some – Quan Alexander. He was with the Bucs way before they got good. He was with – remember, the Bucs not too long ago.

Wasteland. Yeah. Like actual – 20 years. It's really hot. It's really humid. Our team has a history that we can talk about. But we suck. Tom Brady really humid. Our team has a history that we can talk about, but we suck.

Tom Brady shows up. Everything changes immediately. Cranes everywhere. The bolts are good, obviously. Everybody wants to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Life-changing. Quan Alexander, former Tampa Bay Buccaneer, now he's with the Jets, was also with the Saints, I believe, and the Niners.

Boom! Scraping over top. Did you see that, AJ? Does that get your dick hard, AJ, when a guy does bang! Head-on ball, blow-up guy, preseason reps. How you doing? Keep it moving to the football? Yeah, this thing obviously made its rounds on the internet.

Yeah, this is amazing. He doesn't have to wrap. It's amazing when it times up like this where your head goes directly on the ball and you don't even have to wrap. It's such a physical tackle. And just how the running back, too, was flailing around after it was made. Yeah, the guy obviously is – it's like whenever – oh, he's rolling on the ground. That's whenever you get off like a water slide and you feel like you're in a water slide for the next like two days.

That's what this guy is going to experience, having to run through a hole and seeing Quan Alexander on the other side. Great play, but we started talking about Quan. Went to LSU. He was with the Saints, I think, last. He was with the Saints. He ends up with the Jets now. He played for the Bucs back when the Bucs absolutely stunk, and it's kind of like

oh! What an absolute shot there. It's amazing how much the Bucs have changed, I think. The whole... Yeah, you think? Listen to this guy call from South Carolina. We don't care what Tom's doing.

We don't care what anybody's saying outside. They are living a much different life than they just were a few years ago. Bucs fans will forever hail old Tom Brady as their hero. I think until the end of time. And they should, just like Patriots fans should. But they fucking refuse to do so, AJ. zero i think until the end of time and they should just like patriots fans should but they fucking refuse to do so well well think about think if you're a bucks fan and you've been coming to like say you're a fan you've been coming to practice for the last 10 15 years

during training camp then all of a sudden tom comes to town how different is that place now when tom is there like just a different feel there's a billion people there it's a national story every single day like it's a they better enjoy the time they have with Tom. But you never know. Tom could play 10 more years. He might. The way he looked on Saturday in that preseason game, not a lot of moving, just walking casually almost.

The most running he did was before the game where he does the whole let's fucking go. He's just so in control of everything going on, just so methodical, knowing exactly what he wants to do. Imagine how much confidence, though. Imagine how much confidence the rest of the team and the coaching staff has because they have that dude out there that's like, oh, okay, we're down 21. No problem. We got Tom.

We're good. And you see Tom's demeanor and how competitive he is. It's just such a huge thing for the rest of that team. That's why I assumed everybody would want Tom Brady on their team except for like four teams. But I was told I was wrong at the time. I wasn't. Everybody fucking was trying to be him, just like I thought.

What were you going to say, Todd? I was just going to – like the people talked about like the demise of his arm strength too, and we were talking about this before the show. Like the ball fucking explodes out of his hand. He has an absolute cannon still. And he's throwing hard. Yeah.

His whole body is – and he's got like a three-quarter almost. He's throwing hard every single time. I mean, that's all from the 50. I think it's the third quarter. Feels like he's taking a lot of aggression in his personal life on the field with throwing the ball. Yeah, he ain't playing until 60. He's got way too much going on.

I'm 45, man. There's a lot of shit going on. What did that mean? I like that. What'd you say, AJ? I like that. I like that he was honest and it was a relatable situation, I feel like. I think so.

He looked pissed. Everybody said he looked super thin. This is the ball. Yeah. Yeah. What a ball. On the rope. People don't know how hard that is.

Is that over Kenny Moore's head, too? Kenny Moore, hell of a fucking player. So it's from the 49 that ball's coming out. Caught at the 23. So that's 26 yards. Yeah. Kenny Moore also got burned on that fourth down. Yeah, we don't know.

Do you know the coverage? You can't say it was on the line. It was the last play right before that, yeah. It was only in demand. Whatever. I didn't see it. I mean, I didn't see it. They bend but don't break, by the way.

Only kick the field goal. Don't worry about the Colts' defense. All that matters is keep them out of the end zone, man. They can get as many yards as they want. Just make them kick field goals. Shaquille Leonard looked like he was walking comfortably at the game. Saw him. A lot of people love Shaq.

People next to us in the suite next to us are wearing his jersey, calling him Darius. I almost wanted to be like Don't be fucking wake up goddamn name Shaq Yeah, I don't know because the report said when he is back he's probably not gonna be a hundred percent That's just what the reports. Nobody's a hundred percent dude. No, he's Frank said it Frank said He's doing everything you possibly can to be back on time. Let's go to Bobby in Jersey. Bobby, what's going on, pal? Hey, boys.

How we doing? Keep it moving. Hey, just want a quick shout out. I'm a serious, serious listener. And, Pat, no one paints a better picture in my head, and no one hits the hard outs like you, pal. Oh, thanks, Bob. I miss two to three of them a day,

but I appreciate those type of kind words, Bobby. I appreciate you. Hey, buddy, I do got to point out, you boys look great on YouTube, so I do appreciate seeing you guys. Whoa! I want to talk about the Jets. This team went 3-0 in the preseason.

This team might never lose a game again. How about this idea? When the fourth quarter hits, we play a little teaming trumpet, bring out some full speed, and let that man close out the game like he always does. I love that, Bobby. It's actually awesome. I do. The Jets, I don't know how they're going to be this year.

They suck. Well, as long as they don't. I mean, look, the Patriots could easily not be good, but we're talking about the Dolphins, Bills, and Patriots, and then the Jets. Do we think the Jets are going to take a step out of nowhere? Joe Flacco had an alarming pick, and you would assume that wouldn't come from a vet of his stature, the type of play that he made.

But everybody's saying Footsteps is playing well in camp. Yeah, that's right. The best camp of his life. Exactly. He's a starter in this league. If Timmy is playing well in camp. Yeah, that's right. The best camp of his life. Exactly. He's a starter in this league. If Timmy Trumpet comes out in the fourth quarter, they're going to win every game. That's the only way. Just like when Edwin win, win, win, no matter what. Diaz comes out, they win

every game. Okay? Don't look at me. Did you? Timmy Trumpet's fucking hitting the field tomorrow. Timmy Trumpet's hitting city field tomorrow. Yeah? Timmy Trump is hitting city field tomorrow. He's throwing out the opening pitch, and then whenever it comes time for Edwin Diaz to come ice the game, Timmy Trump is coming behind him. He's doing the whole thing.

That's happening tomorrow night. That's just better hopes they're in a position to give Edwin Diaz that opportunity because, you know, last couple games. There's no guarantee. That's right. You hear about the Yankees' closer? What happened? Why don't you tell them, Ty? He's not the closer anymore. Yeah, there's no guarantee. That's right. You hear about the Yankees closer? What happened? Why don't you tell them, Ty? He's not the closer anymore.

But, yeah, I rolled his Chapman. He had to go on the 15-day DL. He got an infection from getting a tattoo. So, you know, I mean. See, that's why Edwin Diaz is the guy now. He's not getting any tattoos. He's only throwing the ball hard. Where was the tattoo at?

Right on his hand because the guy doesn't care about baseball? His whole body. Well, yeah, you could say that. His whole body is tatted. If you look at his Instagram stories, he's got a beautiful penthouse in New York City and all he's doing is just lifting weights in his living room with the fucking skyline in the background.

Oh, yeah. Look at Aroldis Chapman's Instagram. He's awesome, huh? Well, I mean, I'd love it if he could fucking throw strikes. Yeah, I think he's kind of a piece of shit human, but he crushes weights in his beautiful New York City apartment. Timmy Trump, what's that? He throws like Edwin Diaz gas, too. Yeah, he throws very hard.

Oh, so he's like an Edwin Diaz knockoff, it sounds like. No, no, no, no. He's been doing it longer. He's been doing it longer. He can't throw strikes, though, so, you know, yeah. I'd love to have Edwin Diaz compared to fucking Roldis Chapman. Timmy Trump has followed me on Twitter. Let's go.

Timmy. That's big news. Huge. First Drake and now Timmy. Well, that's Instagram. I don't know if Champagne Poppy's still following me. He's got this sweet new haircut. He does have a sweet new haircut with his glasses.

He is straight out of like the 90s right now. Drake? Yeah, Driz. Oh, I don't know if I've seen it. Champagne Poppy's taken quite an evolution. He might be the greatest roulette player of all time. Yes. I love him.

Honestly, I've never seen somebody win so many big hands in roulette than I have with old Champagne Poppy. But, yeah, he's got a little hair out, some big glasses. He's dressed hilarious and awesome. He's drizzy, though. That's what he does. I don't know if he still follows me on there. I sent one DM.

It never got looked at or seen or responded. Nextzy, though. That's what he does. I don't know if he still follows me on there. I sent one DM. It never got looked at or seen or found. Next time, maybe. Timmy Trumpet, though, is back in the game. Hey, Timmy, I appreciate you, bub. I want to let you know Freaks, I think is the name of the song. What was the name of the song? I listened to it before every game my last year there. We can't play it.

We'll definitely get a strike, but. Yeah. Yeah, that's the one. Thank you, Timmy. We can't play it We'll definitely get a strike But Yeah Yeah That's long Thank you Timmy You got me through A lot of hard times With your fucking trumpet pal A kid with the stove

You've seen them do it too What's that? A kid doing it with the stove Yeah That was how I got introduced to it Yes The child with the stove That whole thing

With the dad in the back Yep Was how I got introduced To Timmy Trumpet. Now I see him at Tomorrowland. He's yoked up. Timmy Trumpet is yoked up, and he's throwing the opening pitch for the Mets tomorrow night,

and we'll intro Edwin Diaz with his trumpet in the only way that he can. Now back to the Yankees closer. This is him working out in his penthouse. Hilarious. Yes. Yes. I mean, pretty high up there, huh? Yeah, try to get a couple.

He's got a couple good ones with dumbbells where he's just a big resistance bands guy. Yeah, he's got bands on 225. No, that's just 135, right? I like it. Is that what we're doing at the Hawkeyes? Band, you can do bands. Look at the shoes he's wearing. This guy can't throw strikes?

As of this year, the last couple months, he's been very piss poor. But he throws gas. He was the best in the game. He's got a media guy or girl. I didn't know because quarterbacks normally don't lift arms much. And pitchers usually lift legs heavy. Yeah. Well, as you can see, his thighs are pretty big, too.

He's a big guy. Yeah, but normally people that shoot and throw try to keep as much pliability as possible. I like that he said, nah, I'm going to be as strong as I fucking can to throw this absolute gas. Yeah. Can't throw a strike, though. No, but he can throw hard as shit. That's good. Love that.

Just know that if I'm ever stepping in a batter's box with him, I'm not swinging. I'm standing there. Well, he'll probably walk you on four straight pitches so you wouldn't have to worry about it. That's my strategy. He's going to have to earn it. I'm probably going in like this too. Yep.

Like that guy. Like Rabin Boozer? Yeah. I'm coming in there real low. What's up, dude? Guardians guy did that. You know, I'm stepping out. He just throws one right off your temple.

I'm on first base. Thanks. No, you're dead. No. No. I'm fucking probably headbut Thanks. No, you're dead. No. No, I'm fucking probably headbutting into it. Now that I think about it. This is not legal, right? You can't do this?

I thought someone did it for the Guardians the other day. Bagwell took a pretty low stance. Yeah, what do you mean? Yeah, I'm supposed to base the strike zone off of your actual. So, like, whether you stand up or sit down or whatever. Oh, it doesn't matter. Supposed to. It just happened because some kid in the Little League World Series was doing it.

Well, that's different. Just take a really wide stance and get low. No, I think the way I'm – no, I've never had to take – I've never gotten the opportunity to play in an actual baseball game and bat from the proper side of the plate. Sure. So I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. But I think I'm each row on that thing.

I'm opening this leg and I'm just slapping the ball around. And I'm on first base before the ball is even through the infield. Not a bad idea. That'd be cool. Yep. It's that easy. What position am I playing in field? Catcher, I guess?

Whatever you want. Right field. You do not want to play catcher. Catcher. First base. Give me the knee savers. Give me the knee savers. Let's be a DH.

Isn't it in both leagues now? Yeah. I'm probably playing right field, dude, because I've got to throw a guy out, you know, like I did in the Washington Wild Things game. Yeah. Big crow hop, and then you throw it so hard that you flip. You know, have you ever seen that when guys throw it that hard? Jim Edmonds.

I do that every single time. The issue is when that thing slips and goes out of the ballpark. You know, when you – It's happened. Or if you release it late and it goes 10 feet in front of you and hits the ground. I think I did that actually. Didn't I do that in Wilds? I think so. You hit the cut off, man. I had pop time. People talk

about my pop time being like Jason Kendall's. It's crazy. Jason Kendall. What? Nothing. I mean, he gets brought up. I hope he knows how much love he gets on this show. He deserves more love. I agree. Pittsburgh Pirates fucking stink.

I would like to let all the Pittsburgh Pirates marks out there that attacked me whenever we put out the sell the team things. We'd be like, booted the process. They fucking suck, dude. All right? The guy sold seven springs. It's gotten better. Let's assume he sells the...

We want this guy out of the city. Enough with the bullshit. Okay? Enough with the shit. Let's get an actual winner in Pittsburgh. And if not, let some other city have an MLB team. There you go. I'm talking to you, Mark Cuban.

Yeah, let's do it. There's no baseball in Pittsburgh? I'd rather... I'm speaking – Is there baseball now? Exactly. I'm speaking out of pocket here, I guess, because I'm not a baseball fan at all. I like getting on Pirates games. Good time.

Wouldn't it be better if there was just like a minor league team like the fucking Savannah Bananas in Pittsburgh? Oh, that'd be sick. Just the Yinsers just out there. You know, a big party. Use the PNC Park still. No, it's huge, though, because like other teams will come in and they go to the Roberto Clemente Museum. And then they beat the shit out of the Pirates. So it's kind of a fun weekend

for a lot of teams in the majors. See, we don't need ours to be a vacation trip. Even though Pittsburgh is a great vacation destination, we don't need that in the middle of an MLB season where other teams are like, oh, why don't we go to Pittsburgh? It's a beautiful ballpark. They got good nightlife.

We get to learn a little bit about the history of the game. And we win by 20-some runs every fucking time. We don't need that. That's a beautiful ballpark. They've got good nightlife. We get to learn a little bit about the history of the game. And we win by 20-some runs every fucking time. We don't need that anymore. That's not what Pittsburgh should be known for. We just need to be saved. Like, what if we would have said that about the Penguins and they would have been the Kansas City Penguins right now?

Like, they were supposed to be, but Mario saved them. They won. They won after Mario saved them. They won, though. Just in their history, they won. Mario tried to save the Pirates, too. That's Stooge Nutting said no. Yeah, well. Don't to say the Pirates, too. That's Stooge Nutting said no. Yeah, well.

Don't worry about the hockey thing. Maybe Barry Bonds could be the manager. Bring some juice back. I'm with it. Okay, easy with the word juice. More ways than one, I guess. Yeah. That's your guy. How much did his Pirates sell for, you think, you saw?

Probably like $3 billion? $2 billion? What? Gotta be like $1 billion, $2 billion. What? It's got to be like $1.2 or something. Is it a billion? Are they worth a billion? Oh, yeah. I think it'd definitely be a billion, right? I mean, the Yankees are worth like $10 billion, but Dodgers are up there, too.

A little different than the Pirates. No, I think the Pirates would go for over $2 billion. That's a lot of money. Forbes says $1.3. Oh, there you go. You have to sell that for future earnings, too, so probably $1. That's a lot of money. Forbes says 1.3. Oh, there you go. You have to sell there for future earnings, too, so probably 1.5, 1.75. Scumbag only paid $92 million for him.

Good for him. What a good business. Good for him. What year? 96. And they have not been good since. Man. He's just raking in money.

Yeah. 1.3. What's that shirt you're wearing? I saw the team. That guy fucking sucks. Buffoon. He's a great businessman though. One of the greatest businessmen of all time. Alright, let's get out of here. It's been four hours. Not a bad Monday. Hammer will
