Transcript

[Pat McAfee]

People, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome on this overreaction. Monday, November 11, 2024. This program starts now. Football is amazing. Week 10 of the NFL season wraps up this evening with the Dolphins and the Rams. I know all Dolphins fans are super excited to be on primetime against a Rams team that could go on and still do something special. Which is kind of the story of what's happening in the NFL right now. Now, there are certainly some teams where their fans have already mailed it in and started thinking about the draf and every week that passes certainly cements that case. But then there are some teams that are making some runs right now. There are some teams that are winning some games. There was a hard count that won a game for a team. There was a blocked field goal that won a game for a team. And you're talking about some magical stuff. One team had five interceptions and still won. How does that happen? Football is the greatest. We obviously chit chatted about it all single day. We'll have Adam Schefter joining us in about 20 minutes. Bill Belichick will join us and then Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of the Chargers. Don't look now.

[AJ Hawk]

Yep, yep.

[Pat McAfee]

They play a style football that wins and they are winning. Jim Harbaugh will join us in two hours, 205 Eastern. We're lucky to be doing this. We can't thank you enough for watching the talks and tables here at Boston Conner and at Ty Schmidt. Comments. I mean, you're obviously grinning like the butcher's dog because of Drake May, but football is fantastic right now.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, unbelievable. You just mentioned it too. Some of the games coming down to the wire. The 1 o'clock slate was great. The 4 o'clock slate, I mean there could be some adjustments, but three games.

[Pat McAfee]

All of them stink. That's tough.

[Ty Schmidt]

All of them very terrible. But still some. Some great teams playing. The Philadelphia Eagles still winning games even though everybody still hates Nick Sirianni. And then you mentioned it. The Steelers, I mean that felt like the game of the week almost. And then of course the Detroit Lions on Jake Bates leg to end that game by by an inch.

[Pat McAfee]

1/2 of the hammer done. Cowboys AP Tone Boston Connor just chit chatted about. Pittsburgh Steelers are seven and two right now. Whoa. Okay. And the Pittsburgh Steelers made a bunch of moves this offseason to add to this particular team. Obviously they bring in Justin Fields and R Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson is playing just fine. Mike Tomlin made the decision to go to Mr. Unlimited in the middle of the Season after they had already won some games. Justin Fields is playing a ok, the city love Justin Fields. The locker room seemingly loved Justin Fields. And Mike Tomlin says, you know, the enemy of great is good. We're good right now. We're trying to be great. They seemingly are getting to that point. Obviously Russell Wilson is able to do some things that nobody else in the history of football is able to do. His deep balls come down from the clouds. They land like a harrier plane into the arms. Mike Williams is a guy they trade for literally just last week from the New York Jets. He gets a game winning touchdown. Preston Smith, defensive lineman brought in from the Green Bay Packers. He makes a massive play in the fourth quarter. Everything that the Pittsburgh Steelers have done to add to this team is seemingly working and they get a huge win over a Washington Commanders team who certainly could have won that. They get the ball after this. They end up getting three inches short on a first down with Zach Ertz completion. Pittsburgh Steelers get a big time win. Tone Diggs, you got to feel as if you guys could go the Pittsburgh Steelers really deal this year. It feels like. And the reason is that dangerous son of a bitch Russell Wilson, he's having team meetings on the offensive side every single Thursday night. Picks up all the meals, all the tabs, said boys, this one's on me. He said to Mike Florio, I believe the NBC crew. He said a lot of people talk about like the positive stuff and how it got to be fake. I believe in this. This is literally what I believe. So whenever you hear me say clear eyes, full hearts, we can't lose on the sideline, I mean that whenever we're down in the fourth quarter and I'm your quarterback, I firm that we're very much in this thing. I'm going to make some mistakes, you're going to make some mistakes. We're going to make some mistakes. We're going to have a fake punt early. It's potentially going to put us behind the eight ball. Who cares? We're going to come back and make big plays. George Pickens is playing his absolute best ball. Pat Friarmuth is playing his best ball. Austin is playing his best ball. The offensive line is seemingly blocking better and you got Naj and Warren needs to hold onto the rock, running the ball all over the place. This Pittsburgh Steelers team is for real and I think they have what it takes to win late too. Tone, which I assume got you all zeked up in the paint.

[Darius Butler]

Very, very zeked up. You can start with Mr.

[Pat McAfee]

Unlimited.

[Darius Butler]

Okay. He can do no wrong right now. He is our king. He is our champion. He is our Lord and Savior. We will follow him.

[Ty Schmidt]

Geez.

[Pat McAfee]

What?

[Gumpy]

Sorry, Go on.

[Darius Butler]

If you're the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, you're winning football games like he is and playing like he is. He is our Lord and savior. Okay, seven was our Lord and savior for a long time. Now it's three. Okay. Mr. Unlimited 3 is doing it all. And he's just been like delivering on so many big plays with him and George Pickens and now Mike Williams with that huge catch. And like, the offense was okay with Justin Fields, but it felt like it has the last few years when the record was still fine, but you knew in the back of your head there's no chance that they're going to win any playoff games. Completely different this year. It feels like they could win. The offense is moving. The offense is scoring. The defense shut down the commanders run game last year. Yesterday was a play of. Or was a day of big plays. Like there was big plays by both offenses. It was awesome. The defense was awesome against the Veronica. We're going to do it.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I think there is a chance. You guys do it. And obviously your special teams coordinator Danny Smith's all pissed off about the fake not working, but then they get a muff on a punt, get the ball back in the plus side. So it's like special teams is great, even though this particular fake not the best. So you know, this could have been a check live at the time because corner comes in to rush the punter. So they could have checked that thing at the like. Look, he comes in, bang. We got a guy wide open. Pause right there, foxy. All right, so that guy's wide open. They practice it in football. You got a guy who's wide open. Can we put it back here, please? So whenever. Is this thing on? This thing on? Okay, so we're, we're professional athletes here. We're adults in the United States of America. And what we've learned on Saturdays from college game day is that Americans stink at kicking balls.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. That's because they don't grow up doing it. As much as maybe other places you should be able to play pitch and catch. So as soon as old buddy comes down, this guy's wide ass open. Wide ass open. Look at the space, look at the opportunity. All we need is play catch. It's all we need to do. Now you're backed up. You're on a 15 yard line, 16 yard line. So if it's an incomplete You're a nightmare, but you're not thinking about it. Incomplete. You know why professional athletes play it? Check it. Snap it wide open. Look for the ball. It's coming.

[Evan]

Oh, no.

[Ty Schmidt]

Man, it's tough.

[Pat McAfee]

That's tough.

[Ty Schmidt]

Brutal. Yeah, Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I was gonna say I've been a part of something very similar to this in the past. And it was against the Dallas Cowboys. In Jerry World, it was in the first quarter. We were backed up and the Dallas Cowboys would then go on to score 55 points against the Indianapolis Colts. Pittsburgh Steelers did not fold. They stepped right back up and Danny Smith obviously. Oh, it was wide open. It was wide open. We had another one. We had another one. Damn, damn, damn, damn. Oh, my God. How are we going to do that? How do we drop that ball? We practice it a thousand times. Same thing that happened for us at the Colts. But that's a situation that the Steelers this year would have normally convert. Good things would have happened. Instead, it goes bad. How do they respond? In a great way. The Steelers are the real deal. Nine year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here. Good to see you, D. Botch. There's two teams we need to talk about.

[Gumpy]

All right.

[Pat McAfee]

You want to start in the NFC or the afc?

[Gumpy]

Let's start. Nfc.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. Nfc. Detroit Lions. Jared Goff throws five interceptions. One of them gets in a Hail Mary. So you kind of jot that off at halftime. He didn't make it to the end zone. And it was a. And it was an interception. You're talking about worst stats. Worst stats. Jared Goff has five interceptions. Now, the Houston Texans did take advantage of a few of them in scoring. Houston Texans, who lead the AFC south, obviously have an opportunity to go do something special in C.J. stroud's second year. He's going to learn. He's going to evolve. They trade for Stefon Diggs. They make some other moves. Well, Stefon gets hurt. Nico Collins has been out. They haven't been able to protect CJ but in a game against the Lions or a team everybody thinks is going to be around the end, the Houston Texans were back. That place was sold out, filled up. Houston Texans football. This Detroit Lions win whenever they're not supposed to win. This is the difference between the Detroit Lions now versus the Detroit Lions. You see that pick? That's Jared Goof stuff.

[Ty Schmidt]

Bingo.

[Pat McAfee]

That's not Jared Goff stuff. That's Jared Goof stuff back whenever he was at the end of his run with the Rams. That's what the Detroit Lions used to look like. And they used to crumble, they used to fold. 23:13. Let's give the ball to Amon Ross St. Brown, who obviously made plays all over the place. Get this thing to 23:20. Then Jared Goff hands it off to one of their incredible backs. That Jameer Gibbs, he's eating, he's going crazy. And once you started just sensing a little bit of momentum going their way. The UFL superstar Jake Bates buries a 58 yarder to tie that thing. Now Kaimi Fairbank would have an opportunity to answer at 58 yards. He's been money from 50 plus he pulls this one. What's that mean? Well, the Lions get the ball at 48 right there. And if you see the way Jake Bates kicks, you get a couple first downs. What's that mean? You're going to get another opportunity at it again. Amon Ross, St. Brown, Jake Bates. 52 yards. Carter Old Lions. That ball hits the upright, comes out brand new Lions. That ball drifts inside the upright. It's like this Lions team's doing things that we could have never expected. If you're a Lions fan about 10 years ago and also feels like football gods are a little bit on their side.

[Gumpy]

D Butch this is back to back weeks now. Now they're 8:1, so they've been winning all year. But this is back to back weeks where they won kind of ugly games in different ways. And that's what you gotta do if you're a good team. Second half, obviously CJ Stroud a good first half. Second half defense comes out, basically pitches a shutout, you know, a couple turn off CJ Stroud over a couple times. That's what you got to have with a good football team. Complimenting football. If the offense isn't, you know, putting 40 points on the board, your defense shows up. Defense giving up some points. Your offense can put up 40 at any point in time. So this team, I mean they kind of look like destined, kind of like probably the other team we're going to talk about on any other conference.

[Pat McAfee]

Who's that?

[Gumpy]

The afc probably the Chiefs. Still being the Chiefs.

[Pat McAfee]

Chiefs is still the Chiefs. How'd they win a game yesterday? Go ahead. Let's take some guess.

[Ty Schmidt]

I assume just Kelsey went ballistic and scored touchdown.

[Pat McAfee]

He did score a touchdown, but no, that's not how they want it. Ty.

[Evan]

No, it was Mahomes magic late in the game.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, you thought he cooked a little bit, Maybe rolled his ankle, got back. I mean he kind of did, but no, that wasn't a turn.

[Darius Butler]

What do you think that defense against a rookie quarterback, I assume a shutout.

[Pat McAfee]

No, actually did give up some points.

[Ty Schmidt]

Geez.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And the rookie quarterback, not bad. Pretty good. Yeah, he's actually pretty good D, but.

[Gumpy]

Rookie Xavier Worthy probably got hot. Probably three touchdowns.

[Pat McAfee]

No, I understand how you would think that, but that wasn't Andy Reid. Also, I know some, some people D.

[Ty Schmidt]

Hop scored three touchdowns.

[Pat McAfee]

No, no, he didn't. Some people were thinking Aiden Reed maybe wanted in running back, goal line.

[Darius Butler]

That wasn't Pacheco came back.

[Pat McAfee]

No, no. They blocked field goal.

[Ty Schmidt]

Come on, come on.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, they blocked field goal to win. Boom. Leo Chenal, who they call John Cena, they say this guy is the strength of a D lineman, plays linebacker. He's an absolute stud. Will Lutz is a great kicker. Bo Nicks, we think is going to be a great quarterback, but what we think is what they got on their field goal protection, who's. I don't want to say stupid, but certainly left them wide open for somebody to take advantage of. And Dan Orlofsky did a nice piece on this on get up. So I appreciate him kind of zooming in on the finer things in this entirety, but if you look at number 54 there, he's the left hand. Okay, so as you. Can we put it back up here, please? So as you look at this thing here, okay, so here's wing. Okay, he has one. Eyes on one, coming here. This guy, Alex Forsyth, he's the end. Okay, so you're supposed to pivot. Bang, bang, eyes to two, eyes to two, foot in ground, open this gate up so you two can kind of interlock to lock out one and two. Then you got the. Then you got the tackle. Obviously taking three guard, just kind of eating it up the middle. Then bom, bom, bom, bom, bom. Play that thing. Pause that thing. This guy doesn't even get his other footing. Or go back, please, to the beginning of this play. What that guy's doing great. Play pause, play pause. God doesn't even get his head up. Okay? This dude has the worst technique I've ever seen from somebody playing in this position. Squatting on heels, doesn't even lift up his head. It was the story of the entire game. Dan Orlovsky broke it down great on get up. So I'm not going to dive all the way back into it. And I would assume it's the story of the season with this guy. I think there was a couple games he was the starting center. I think he's still listed as the starter. Center. But he's been on the field goal team the entire season. Having him be on the field side. Okay, so this is on the right hash, so the uprights over here. So science tells you this ball is going to have to go this way to go through the uprights. So the crew that is on this side, and I don't know how many they pick up and flip, but the field side group is your group. This has got to be count. This guy does not deserve to be on a field side of any field goal team that I've ever seen in my entire life. I have no idea how they've gotten away with it this long. This guy just gets his ass now. These people are going to fall. There's a chance you're going to fall, die. Slowly, though, Leo keeps his feet, battles through, explodes through the ball. It is picture perfect technique, and it's taken advantage of a fish that they certainly knew. I don't know if coming into the game, they knew the 54 was the fish because early they weren't attacking them as much. And then about the second kick, they started giving a little shovel. Third one, they're like, wait a minute, hold on. We got this guy, 54. If he goes back out there for the rest of the season, he's going to get this type of treatment. That's the way it works on field goal block. But whenever you talk about perfect execution and paying attention to the details in the biggest moments, that is this Kansas City Chiefs team. So whenever I put out a tweet that the Chiefs is still the Chiefs and everybody goes, they got lucky. They got lucky. It's like, no. The amount of work that they put in on the tiny things and then also strategically finding out we can get through this guy and then having the confidence that you can go get it, which definitely had to have to sell out completely. It's like, that's perfect execution in a massive moment from your third phase, which matters. Everybody talks about Spagnola's defense being great. Everybody talks about Patrick Mahomes being awesome. Special teams here, you can tell they work their asses off in those periods because those types of step jump is all routine. That's all muscle memory. That's not something you just drop in on a Sunday and say, hey, this is what we need you to do. Run through buddy's chest and then need to get your hands up on the ball. That's practice, that's worked. That's accountability, that's details. And that's why they're the only undefeated team and that's why they were this close to losing. But they don't two teams now, Chiefs and Lions are winning when they're not supposed to. And everybody wonders why, why, why, why The Chiefs obviously if they're just able to get the toe in for Isaiah likely. Remember we all remember that in the opener they win. How about when the Bengals just out gained them and then they also lost the turnover battle. How about the missed PI call against Atlanta? How about the winning overtime? How about the field goal block? The Chiefs 9 0. But, but, but, but, but, but, but always happens to the teams that are good. Yeah. Then the Lions, same exact thing. They get their shit kicked offensively against the Packers. Who cares? How about against the Titans? Same exact thing. Are they going to lose to the Titans? Nah, who cares? They lose, they get the ball picked off five times against, against the Texas they win every time. The winners win and there's reasons and I think on that field goal block to a lot of people's points that have played football, it's like their attention to the little things is the reason why they won won't get talked about. It'll be considered lucky. But that shit's worked just like all this other stuff.

[Gumpy]

It's the details, man. It's a fine, very, very fine line between winning and losing in National Football League. Everybody has good coaches, everybody's got good players. But it's the small things and they don't become big things until they become big things. We saw with the commanders and the Bears and it was the hail Mary something we practice, we rep every Saturday in the walk through before games but never really show up until it shows up. So Andy Reid, mcdc up in Detroit, they obviously coach the little things and it's culture too. It's from the players, the players. We hold each other accountable on good teams to do all the little things throughout the week and then Sunday, Monday, Thursday, whenever that thing show up in a big, big month. Yeah, I don't know how.

[Pat McAfee]

And on the other side the lack of attention to detail, I don't know how that guy has been at that position that long. Like he's a center. Normally you're going to want somebody that can move a little bit at that position because you got to literally the thing is stick in between old buddy boom. And then you're just looking for two and that old buddy here is bang pow looking for one.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

So his, his right thigh and your boom are locking that whole thing down and you're going to fall. Just need your ass to Fall slow.

[Gumpy]

What body types are usually because I'm not used to a center being. Yeah out that wide away from the ball. Closer in users that tight end.

[Pat McAfee]

I've seen DN backup tackle maybe like the D end. Definitely somebody that's put backup dn.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Like those are because you. I don't know. I don't. That. That dude didn't even get his head up and didn't even move his feet tough before he was already. It was like wow, how they've been getting away with. How has this guy been getting away? I don't know. He's not going to anymore. Alex Forsyth now has a massive circle. Hey, wherever the hell 54 is, we're going. Even if he's on the short side of the field over here, we are going to try to get through him. I don't know how they made it this far without showing up in the Denver Broncos. With that being said, when Bo Nicks need to make a drive. He did against NCAA Chiefs. Whenever the Broncos need to make some plays. They certainly did. They're obviously, I'd say that close to beating the Kansas City Chiefs. You're a Broncos fan, I think you should be excited about what they're building over there. This with a 43 million dollar cap hit this year, I think so obviously they can get going. But the Chiefs winning this way, I think a lot of people go, oh, wow, that's. It's like. No, actually it's complete opposite. It's like the. The amount of work that goes into all this is something that you would never really get to reap the benefit of. How many block kicks are there? A handful. Yeah. Now this one's to win a game though. So whenever you need it in the biggest moment, they're able to rely on their technique that they work. It's like that says something about the whole team, not just that particular play.

[Ty Schmidt]

Well, it's also surprising too, just because Sean Payton, like you would think Sean Payton is one of those guys who would be very, very meticulous when it comes to things like this. I mean, two years ago, before the super bowl when it was Chiefs Eagles, he actually told us like, hey, there's going to be a massive special teams play tomorrow or Sunday night and that's going to change the entire game. And then Kadarius Tony had that return. So it is surprising. But to your gu point, how simple is it to just plug and play somebody now? Like, are they just going to hey, all right. We need somebody that can just quickly move their feet Bigger guy or is this something that might actually linger for the Denver Broncos?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, that is going to be something. If they keep 54 anywhere, it's going to linger. Now, I. Granted, I think he should probably be a little bit towards the middle because what he's doing, you just drop him over to guard or over to tackle. He doesn't really have to move much. He just literally just gets swam. I don't know if anybody told him that he was playing, where he was playing. That might have been okay. He might have not even knew that he was there because, like, just not even. That's bad.

[Evan]

I mean, basically ran unimpeded right to the ball.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, well, the guy ran right through his chest. Yeah. So, like, at some point, you got to have a little bit of fight in that whole thing, but it is a position where you're going to get killed. I have nothing but respect for all the offensive linemen that do field goal operations because it sucks. You're signing up for something terrible. And normally it's at the end of a drive when he could be a little bit tired, but, boy, what the Kansas City Chiefs display week in and week out is they're a good football team. Speaking of good football teams, did the Philadelphia Eagles win?

[Evan]

Yeah, in very convincing fashion.

[Ty Schmidt]

You couldn't tell on the Internet.

[Pat McAfee]

Who's our coach, who's our.

[Evan]

Who's Nick Sirianni?

[Pat McAfee]

So head coach Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles won again. Yeah. Yeah. What's their record? Do we know?

[Ty Schmidt]

6, 7.

[Pat McAfee]

2, 7 and 2. Wow.

[Ty Schmidt]

Price first actually in the division now because the Commanders lost.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. So the Philadelphia Eagles just absolute wagon. Do you think any of that has anything to do with the person coaching the team or you? You?

[Ty Schmidt]

No, that wouldn't make much sense.

[Pat McAfee]

No. Sirianni had nothing to do with this, right?

[Ty Schmidt]

No, no, no.

[Pat McAfee]

He was kind of there.

[Ty Schmidt]

There's that actually really cool stat. Only three coaches have win streaks of five or more games since, like, 2020 or 2021. It's. Oh, yeah, here it is. Andy Reid, of course, great coach Sean McDermott, everybody loves. And Nick Sirianni is the other guy.

[Pat McAfee]

The big dumb dipshit. Yeah, he won again.

[Evan]

He did.

[Pat McAfee]

He really?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

You think it's going to be a lower third every single day on all these morning shows about head coach Nick Sirianni not knowing ball pretty much was the big question mark.

[Evan]

There's a good chance, certainly. I mean, for whatever reason, you know, people just, hey, you know, it's. It's not Sirianni the guy they're winning in spite of Sirianni.

[Pat McAfee]

It's 34 to 6. Yeah.

[Evan]

It's Vic Fangio. It's that defense finally coming to life.

[Pat McAfee]

It's hired Vic Fangio.

[Jim Harbaugh]

How?

[Evan]

Well, it had to have been. How. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh.

[Evan]

Sirianni has no relationship.

[Pat McAfee]

Sirianni's not hiring.

[Evan]

I don't even think Sirianni's talked to him based on, you know, how some people feel.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Gumpy]

Got new. New coordinator on both sides. You know, other coordinators have gone on behead coaches, obviously. Shane Gannon in Arizona, you know, one of those guys.

[Pat McAfee]

So relax.

[Gumpy]

Relax.

[Pat McAfee]

Sirianni, His Colts team sucks. I'm disgusted. I'm disgusted.

[Ty Schmidt]

Flacco.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody wants put AR in. Hey, listen, AR had no chance with this building. That is happening. That is what I've realized over the last 12 hours. I'm wondering why AR's tapping out of games at quarterback. Like, how's this guy not know? You can't as a quarterback do that, like call timeout. Sure. Waste of time out.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Instead of tapping your head and showcasing that whole thing and, you know, is it getting better? Is he getting worse? Is he in shape? All those things. He's got nobody telling him how he's supposed to operate in that building.

[Ty Schmidt]

Exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

Kenny Moore, our captain, one of my favorite guys on the football team.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

After the game comes out and he goes, our team doesn't work.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Nobody gives a.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody's just kind of a. This is Kenny Moore after the game. The Indianapolis Colts lose to the Buffalo Bills.

[Gumpy]

I don't think everybody is working as hard as possible.

[Pat McAfee]

What.

[Gumpy]

And obviously showing. I'm not the type to sugarcoat it, honestly.

[Ty Schmidt]

If I don't.

[Gumpy]

I don't think the urgency is there. I don't think the details are there. So I don't think the effort is there. And I don't see everything correlating from meetings to practice to the games. And it shows.

[Pat McAfee]

That's one of the leaders. Okay. All right.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's not good. So.

[Pat McAfee]

So AR had no idea how he's supposed to be a professional because there's no damn professionals in that building. These have been the stories that have been happening over the last few years. You know, And I'm not saying this team understand Steichen's been this. But if you remember when Frank Reich was the coach, there was obvious we weren't on ESPN then. So some people didn't know we existed, even though we had. I think some. Some people watching. Sure. People were like, the meetings. Team meetings. Yep. Yep. People trying to Blake the team meetings. People are. People were missing training. You know, obviously, there's a story about gambling in the locker room that came out from the Bulls, and it was like, why aren't we winning? It's like, oh, the culture is just not very, like, conducive to being a professional outfit. And then this whole thing happens, and it's like, we're not even working hard. It's like, how do you not even. What do you even. What do you mean you're not working hard in this entire thing? Joe Flacco throws a pick on the first play. Not great. Then he gets ball back again, throws another pick. Then he would go on to throw a third one. And obviously, Josh Allen is a phenomenal football player. He threw two picks against Gus Bradley's defense.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's right.

[Pat McAfee]

Defense was flying around, doing its thing. We were in that until we weren't. And Buffalo Beals showcased that they are at the top of the AFC's. AFC as a whole. Congrats.

[Ty Schmidt]

They're a good team.

[Pat McAfee]

They are a good team. They work hard.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Their quarterback never taps out.

[Ty Schmidt]

No Down. A lot of key players here, too.

[Pat McAfee]

There's just a lot of things that good teams do. They're a little bit different than what bad teams do.

[Ty Schmidt]

Sure, sure.

[Pat McAfee]

And it seems like over the last few years, every bad team thing that you could think of, the Colts do. So I'm about done with it. I'm about done with it. Loud House got taken over, too.

[Darius Butler]

Mafia travel.

[Ty Schmidt]

So many Mafia members.

[Pat McAfee]

Bill's Mafia. There was an MVP champ for the first time this year, and it was not for anybody on our team.

[Ty Schmidt]

Third down for the Colts. It was bumping in there. Everyone keep it down.

[Pat McAfee]

I was trying to do one of these. Hey, no, it didn't work. Guy in the suite next to me thought he had control of the entire stadium, though. I appreciate it. He had paint on. He was ready to play. Actually, he had pads.

[Ty Schmidt]

He almost hopped over.

[Pat McAfee]

He had to leflore one of these a couple of times. He had all the answers, that guy. I appreciated his positivity and his energy in that particular suite next to us, but Kenny Moore's statement said, enough. You know, I don't think we're winning. So bullish. What?

[Gumpy]

That's. That. That. That's a bump. I saw your tweet. I am fucked up. There's a chance you go back and forth, because a couple weeks ago, I definitely was one of the loud people saying, hey, put Joe in there. We got. We got Ken we got zaire, we got E.J. we got these other guys.

[Pat McAfee]

DeForest, Buckner. These men. Exactly.

[Gumpy]

So Quinn Nelson. It's not about speed, building for the future and developing and all this, but put a guy in there who gives us our best chance to win now. And Joe comes out and plays like that, that's tough. And then when Kenny comes out and says what he said after the game, because there is a lot that we don't see behind the scenes, you know, day in and day, day out, Meetings, practice, walkthroughs, et cetera. All these things that we just talked about with the Chiefs and Lions don't necessarily show up until they show up. So now when you're in a spot like this, we're, you know, still alive, still not completely dead yet like some teams out there. But, I mean, you got. You gotta go out there when you gotta go out there. Are they dead? You think they're dead?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. They don't work. Yeah. When I. When I saw our quarterback tap out of a game, I thought, we're dead. That's what I thought. We were dead. Then I go, let's go, Joe Flacco. Now it's like Anthony Richards has no idea how he's supposed to act. He has no idea they're not working. What are we doing? What are we doing? I'm not doing it.

[Evan]

It might be time.

[Pat McAfee]

Get them all.

[Evan]

Yeah, and get the up eject button on everything.

[Pat McAfee]

Say I pay off all their contracts, too. See, Congrats. You robbed us. You stole from us. This group got us the number four overall pick. This group has been through so many different. This group has had to deal now with a bunch of different quarterbacks, too. So this group probably feels a little.

[Evan]

Bit like, what the hell you want me to do?

[Pat McAfee]

This is our NFL experience. And it's like, yeah, somebody needs to tell them, you still get to be in the NFL. You don't have to be in the NFL. So, ar, I apologize for being so loud about you tapping out, which no NFL quarterback has ever, ever done in the history ever. It's not good to have that happen for your team. But now I'm starting to think, like, did anybody. Has anybody told AR how he's supposed to be?

[Evan]

Yeah, someone might have even said, like, hey, if you need a blow, say one of these.

[Ty Schmidt]

Say one of these Joe gets.

[Evan]

You're running around a bunch, you're evading sacks. Just fucking hit one of these quick.

[Pat McAfee]

And you're playing hoops. You know, when you play hoops, you tired, you Just, I need one. I need one that's just do the same thing.

[Darius Butler]

Wideouts do it.

[Pat McAfee]

Anyways, let's get back to the Philadelphia Eagles. Yep, they basically did that to the Dallas Cowboys. There's a lot of quotes coming out now from the Dallas Cowboys that need to be investigated. Uh oh, here's Jerry Jones talking about the Dallas Cowboys with and without Dak. Prescott. What does today's performance tell you about Dak's role in this team and what he's been doing this season? Well, what do you mean? Given that you saw what the team.

[AJ Hawk]

Looked like without Dak, how do you tell.

[Pat McAfee]

When did he make a difference? What do you think about? Well, I don't want to be sarcastic, but are you got the same arithmetic I've got? We've won three games with Dak. Okay, so I'm just saying we weren't playing well with Dak at all.

[Evan]

If Dak cannot come back, how much does that hurt your hopes for this season?

[Pat McAfee]

Well, I don't want to deal in hypotheticals, but, you know, anybody that loses their top quarterback has some adjustments to make, and they're usually adjusting uphill. And so I thought that basically we'd look better tonight without Dak. I thought we'd look better on offense than we looked without Dak. Scene Cooper play better than we played tonight. Philadelphia's got a lot to do with that. That's what it is. Okay, so he says, I thought we played better tonight without Dak. And if you were to write that out, it would say, like, I thought we would play better without Dak. Yeah, he didn't mean that. He meant without Dak. I thought our team would certainly look a lot better than they did. They look like ass. They look like trash. And then you start thinking to yourself, I wonder how the locker handling. Well, let's go to the superstar Michael Parsons afterwards. Mike's on the final year. His contracts are outside. There's, of course, going to be questions. What's the sentiment inside the locker room? And what do you tell people who are wondering about whether coach next year?

[Ty Schmidt]

You know, that's above my pay grade.

[Jim Harbaugh]

About if Mike is coaching again next year.

[Pat McAfee]

Amen. But, you know, all coaching, side coaching.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You know, Mike can leave and go.

[Ty Schmidt]

Wherever he wants, but the guys, I.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You know, I kind of feel bad.

[Ty Schmidt]

Guys like Zach Martin and guys who.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Might be on their last year on their way out, you know, because that's.

[Ty Schmidt]

Who I wanted to hold the trophy for. You know, you want to win games.

[Jim Harbaugh]

And do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did.

[Pat McAfee]

So, okay, those are the kind of.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Guys that I have so much sympathy and hurt for.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. I love Micah being a teammate. Okay. I love him shouting out his team. Him burying coach Mike McCarthy, whether he meant to or not, was certainly right there at the end of that. Joining us now, senior NFL Insider for ESPN to to tell us how hot this seat is and maybe some potential others. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Schefter. Schefte. Micah immediately goes on to X after the reactionary buddy and he says, listen to my podcast on Bleach Report and I can explain my side after people have reacted the way that, you know, I think anybody that heard what he said would react there about Mike McCarthy seemingly. Micah okay with Mike McCarthy leaving. Jerry feel same way. How do we feel about Mike McCarthy's job positioning after a very, and I can't stress this enough, very embarrassing loss to coach Nick Sirianni in their rival Philadelphia Eagles?

[Bill Belichick]

Look here, here's the deal. Like in the last year of his contract, Mike McCarthy always was going to have to win this year. They were always going to have to have a good season. And the season in Dallas just continues to slip further and further away. You're seeing a team that's regressing, not progressing. You're seeing a team that has more and more injuries, that loses its quarterback. Dak, I don't believe, is going to wind up playing again this season. He's in New York getting consultations with a specialist on surgery, which already is scheduled for Wednesday. Now, it's always possible that this doctor is going to say, hey, hold on, we don't need to do this. But they are preparing and operating with the idea that he's going to have surgery on Wednesday that would knock him out three, four months at least. So there's not a lot of hope in sight. And you got a head coach on an expiring contract. I think Mike McCarthy belongs as a head coach in this league. But in Dallas, they're going to have to do something. And they paid the wide receiver and they paid the quarterback. And when the head coach is on a expiring contract, it's hard to imagine that all of a sudden they're going to go give him an extension after a season like this. So we'll see how this all plays out. But it's tough time there right now. And you know, I, I the Micah Parsons thing, I if you listen to the whole thing, I don't think it's as egregious as people are making it out to be. I think he's just saying that coaches can always go somewhere and there are players at the end of their career. It's probably not the best use of words after a loss with a team in the state that it is, but I don't think it's what people are making it out to be. Like a player saying, mike can go, leave, get out of town.

[AJ Hawk]

It's not like that.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it was the end. I think the. Everybody's talking about the first one. Him saying a coach can do whatever he wants. Agreed. Coaches can coach seemingly forever, and they are. Tom Moore is still coaching for the Bucks. Tough loss yesterday, but still coaching for the Bucks. It was that end comment where he was like, zach Martin, these guys have done much more than Mike McCarthy's ever done. It's like, all right, Mike McCarthy, I think he's probably seen his family in, like, four years as your coach, and I understand he's not on the field doing his thing, but maybe he needs to drop himself in at tailback, fullback. We will listen to Mike's podcast to hear what he has to say for that entire thing, but good luck down there, everybody.

[Bill Belichick]

I just want to point out, like, this is the. This is the state of the world we're in right now. Like, this star football player who we believe is going to become the highest paid defensive player in NFL history has a podcast to talk about his comments about his head coach.

[Pat McAfee]

Like, is it a work that.

[Bill Belichick]

That in and of itself is odd to me. Like, again, his job is to be the best football player he can be, and their season is not going great. So I don't know what he's going to say that's going to make people feel better. That, to me, that. That's. That's a whole other issue. I guess that's the day and age we're living in, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Well, seemingly, you know, Micah is a little bit different because of how elite he is as a football player and how good he is as a football. Incredible. He's so fast. Yeah. I mean, you see him right around. Immediate impact. He's so good. I think he's the first one who's, like, really, really, really good. That is, like, you know what? Yeah, listen to my podcast. I'll talk. I'm not doing any other interviews. I'm only going to do my podcast. Usually the guys that are, like, really good at football kind of keep the main thing. The main thing, you know, like, that is kind of. And try not to stir Shit. I mean, just last week or two weeks ago on that podcast, they didn't have Dak in the top five.

[Ty Schmidt]

Him and Jake.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. So it was like, there's seemingly a lot of drama, but you know who loves it? Bleach report. Good sign and bleach report.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Pat McAfee]

Are they paying him for that? I don't know. Where's all the outrage from the journalistic standard people anyways? We'll definitely listen to hear what he has to say. Big Mike McCarthy's like, Mike, you don't think I do anything? Yeah, you're right. I've done nothing. I've committed my whole life to football. I guess I've done nothing. Yeah. All right. So Mike needs to start showing face a little bit more in weight room, like Barbara and everything. Let's talk about coaches and seats being hot. Let's head up to Chicago. Obviously, what's going up on up there? Not great. People are saying Caleb Williams is regressing. He's obviously getting sacked a lot. If you listen to some quarterback gurus and people on the Internet, it's like, sacks certainly offensive line fault. But Caleb also hanging onto the rock, seemingly doesn't know what he's doing. Shane Waldron, offensive coordinator. I don't think a lot of people have come out in the past and said, this guy, this guy's a great offense coordinator. Eber Fluss obviously has sweet hair and a great beard, but it's not going right. What are you hearing up in Chicago? What are your thoughts up there for the Bears as a whole?

[Bill Belichick]

Well, what is it, two straight games now where they have not scored an offensive touchdown first time in 20 plus years. And I think the troubling part here is that when you see Caleb on the sideline, like, flashed him a couple of times, to me, he looks a little bit like Bryce Young looked at the start of the season. He looks a little bit like overwhelmed and shell shot.

[Ty Schmidt]

Whoa.

[Bill Belichick]

What's going on? And so they're at a point now at this team struggling where they have been engaged today in conversations about what is the best way for them to move forward as a franchise and improve as a franchise. And so I don't know that they've decided on anything right now. I don't know what they'll ultimately wind up doing. Matt Erefluss addresses the media here. Scheduled to address the media here in about 24 minutes. But I would expect that there'll be some sort of change in Chicago on the offensive side of football. Is that changing the play caller is that changing the quarterback and benching Caleb Williams for Tyson Bajan. I think all these things are being discussed in the building today and ultimately the organization has to figure out what is the best course of action for this franchise to move forward and. And to protect everybody. Like, you've got a great quarterback in Caleb Williams, who right now is regressing and getting beat up and starting to look like some of these other quarterbacks have looked. Are they better off going with Tyson Bagent there? Are they better off changing out the play caller there? I don't know what they're ultimately going to decide, but I don't believe it's going to be status quo on the offensive side of the football.

[Pat McAfee]

Bryce Young obviously goes back in. They win a couple games after being benched for a bit and changing some stuff. So maybe a perspective shift up there could change and help Caleb. Or maybe the entire world would implode if they were to bench Caleb Williams. Like what happened here in Indianapolis with Anthony Richardson. Yeah, you don't give it a God a chance. Have you heard? I'm not going to ask. I don't want to know the answer.

[Ty Schmidt]

Well, you should.

[Gumpy]

Sure.

[Pat McAfee]

They're not working in Indianapolis. Nobody works hard in Indianapolis. Did you hear Kenny Moore say that? Did you hear that?

[Bill Belichick]

You know, listen, you lose games, it's tough, it's hard.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. It's a lot easier for those games, though, whenever you just don't work. Is that what's happening? Because this building has seemingly had a culture question for the last few years with this particular group of Indianapolis Colts. What the hell is going on in there?

[Bill Belichick]

Well, you're in the building. You tell me. Are they working hard, Pat?

[Pat McAfee]

I don't get along with any of them, actually. That's kind of a deal. I go to these games. Buffalo Bills, I'm talking to the entire team, pretty much. Colts come out. He said some rude things. You guys suck, dude. You guys suck. You guys shouldn't even be in there. You're the keeper of the jerseys right now. Now you don't even work. I can't. I can't take it. I'm done with them.

[Gumpy]

Some of them. Some of them not. Not all of them.

[Pat McAfee]

You're right. I like anymore. I like. I appreciate that he came out and said it. I Love Zaire. Love EJ Speed. Love DeForest Buckner.

[Gumpy]

Some dogs in there.

[Pat McAfee]

Love. Love Quentin.

[Gumpy]

Only strong as your weakest link.

[Ty Schmidt]

Love Joe Flacco's awesome.

[Pat McAfee]

We're not working hard. We got people gambling on Our own team. We got people missing team meetings. We got people doing the training room. And you're going to hold out for the first two. Okay. All right. Burn it down. The whole place. Not Lucas Oil. Not the Loud house.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Campaign for that. I'm not.

[Pat McAfee]

The Lions in two weeks. Got the jets this weekend, which. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. This one. Let's absolutely go. And then we got the Lions at home in two weeks. Detroit people won't travel, right?

[Ty Schmidt]

No, no. It's too far.

[Pat McAfee]

Detroit people won't. Bill's mafia took that st. It's going to be so loud for those Detroit fans in Lucas Oil. I cannot wait. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

If they lose to the Jets.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's talk about another coach. Maybe that's on the seat before you got any news. You breaking. Are you texting the coach right now and say if anybody works hard in there and what the. Is going.

[Bill Belichick]

I'm confirming. Are you guys working hard today? So I just want to. Just want to make sure that they are.

[Ty Schmidt]

Nope.

[Pat McAfee]

Just anybody. Just. Just ask if anybody. I know the training room is. They don't sleep. Quit managers don't sleep.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Conti having to talk definitely isn't sleeping. Conti's grinding. Conte's got that many. It's like, come on, dude. Come on. Let's get the leaders in there. Step it up. Here we go. But who are they?

[Gumpy]

Anybody get on board.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's talk about another coach that maybe is at the end of it. We were forced to watch this game. 9:30 in the morning in Germany and shout the hockey leash. Speaking some German after his dad spoke some Spanish way back. That was kind of the upside. Bryce Young. Okay. He looks like a different guy. Smiling, happy, doing his thing. Canales is having some moments. David Tepper's buying some beers over there over in Munich for the people. Let's have some beer steins. Let's go ahead and have a good time. Chuba just got paid. He's balling out. And on the other side, they suck. Danny Dimes. This guy's bad at ball. And then you got Daboll. Beard looked cool. Yeah. Glasses look cool.

[Gumpy]

Credentials.

[Pat McAfee]

Credentials are sweet. Team stinks. He's obvious what's going on in New York.

[Bill Belichick]

He's think, well, obviously it's not great. When you lose to the Panthers, your record is worse off than if the draft were today. The New York Giants. The New York Giants would have the number one overall pick.

[Pat McAfee]

Congrats.

[Bill Belichick]

We'd have the number one overall pick.

[Pat McAfee]

Right now.

[Bill Belichick]

So, you know, usually teams that are in a position of having the number one overall pick usually have some issues, and they're number one for a reason. Right. So again, we'll go back to what John Mara said a few weeks back. He basically said that didn't anticipate making any changes in season, wanted to stay the course again. John Maris said the same thing in 2017, fired Ben McAdoo a few weeks later, said the same thing in 2021, fired Joe Judge a few weeks later. I don't know that anybody can say that anybody's safe in New York. I don't know anybody can say that anybody's safe when you're on track to have the number one overall pick in the draft. And again, we'll give him the benefit of doubt. We'll say he's not making any changes. We don't expect anything in season, but I think that they're going to be looking at everything, and I think anything's possible there.

[Pat McAfee]

I do not see that guy. Just put a. Put a towel over.

[Bill Belichick]

Tracy fumbled at the end of the game. He fumbled and he played grand.

[Pat McAfee]

Great.

[Gumpy]

He did.

[Bill Belichick]

He played great. Had a big touchdown run and he's an explosive young player and had a disappointing ending. So they just want. Yeah, cover it up, Pat. Covered up. Yep, there you go.

[Pat McAfee]

Not here in Germany, please. Just keep it moving. Yep, you're good. All right.

[Gumpy]

Good teammate.

[Pat McAfee]

That is good teammate. They're gonna try to zoom in, get every angle on your face. 9, 9. Sprekenzi cry. MGK crush at halftime Overtime. Panthers win. Long trip back. Thought Mara might pull the trigger on the way back. That's kind of been the international game flu a little bit. If it is on the way back, we're thinking about, we're done with this entire thing. Hopefully Mara had a blast over there in Germany and sleeps on it. Day ball, though, seemingly staring down a new profession. Good luck to him. Let's talk about a guy being all the way back. Go ahead. Debauch.

[Gumpy]

Yeah, somebody. We've had an hour all season long, especially you with him being your fantasy pick. Christian Mcath got out there yesterday, played over 80% of the snaps, didn't have. Have one of, you know, typical CMAT game. But most importantly, is he healthy? Did everything check out after the game and going forward?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Bill Belichick]

You know, what was interesting here is that initially when they were getting him ready, they felt like he could have played last week instead of yesterday. And they initially thought also that they would go in and that they would Rotate series with Christian McCaffrey, get half the work. And he kept practicing and there were no setbacks and he felt completely fine and normal. And then yesterday there was no pitch count. He basically played the whole game. The numbers were not sterling like they normally are, but he was productive and he looked good. Like he looked like Christian McCaffrey. You see the burst up the middle there. He changes the offense and I just think his presence alone uplifts everybody there, there and provides a different element. And they went on the road and won an early game. They were worried about this game because Tampa had lost a few games in a row. It's before Tampa's, by Tampa's back home. They felt like it was a real dangerous game here and they were able to prevail in the end. Quite an adventure. Baker Mayfield was unbelievable yesterday. Like that guy.

[Gumpy]

Oh, fighter.

[Bill Belichick]

Like he has Nick Bosa hanging on him and he throws a fourth and seven pass and completes it for a first down. Here's the play. Watch. Baker rolls out, Nick Bosa gets a.

[Pat McAfee]

Hold of him and then he throws.

[Bill Belichick]

It downfield for the first down. I mean, there were so many chances that the Niners had to put away the Buccaneers and because Baker Mayfield kept making plays like this, they couldn't put him away. He was incredible. And I know this team's losing, but it's not because of Baker. Baker guy's been on point here.

[Pat McAfee]

Agreed. It's been like that for the entire season. Baker Mayfield, even if you go into last year, last half of the year, Baker Mayfield's been on, on fire. Him in Tampa, seemingly the right fit now is in the nfc. The Niners are always going to be around. CMC being back certainly helps with that conversation. How about that catch by George Kittle? Yeah, he's so big.

[Darius Butler]

They got the weapon.

[Ty Schmidt]

Piersol getting involved.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Ricky Pierso, just months after getting shot right in the church chest in public at 3:30 in the afternoon in San Francisco, has a touchdown where he has to outrun some people. And then Purdy extends a play, drops a dime. George Kittle, both feet in. How do you do it at that size? It does not make sense. The nimbility of a ninja. George Kittle and the way he secures the ball with his right hand on his chest is a beautiful thing. He was never going to let that go. He was like, get on over here, ball. You're not going anywhere with me. Let's go ahead and win this game. Brock Purdy, who's all the way back.

[Bill Belichick]

Can I just point out A couple of things about George Kittle like again talk to that team in personal observation. Like the. The positive energy that flows from that guy is unbelievable. Everybody that watched him on receiver saw what that guy's about. And just last week, just a little side light if you'll allow me to indulge.

[Pat McAfee]

Right, Absolutely.

[Bill Belichick]

My daughter does the show on Nickelodeon so we arranged for George Kittle to talk to my daughter last week to run on Nickelodeon this week. So on Wednesday night after practice he comes on 45 minutes. Could not have been more engaging, could not have been more entertaining, could not have been more patient. And again it's hard not to watch that guy in roof room. But when I was in my room watching that interview and the way he handled killed a 16 year old girl like that. You got the guy.

[Pat McAfee]

He's got.

[Bill Belichick]

I'm a fan. That guy is impressive in every which way.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Oh hey there is actually his new line with chubbies. Got some great shorts, great tank tops. Obviously they're trying to market his positivity but I don't think he's trying to sell out. And at the end of the day he's just a tough football player and make plays like that at the end of a game for your guy, obviously the ball is going to. And remember, ever since Brock Purdy became the starting quarterback, he and George Kittle had. I think George Kittle had his first two touchdown game the first week that Brock Purdy was starting. And it's like Brock Purdy has always had respect and appreciation for George Kittle. They've always had great chemistry and it was on display yesterday in a big way. Shout out to the Niners being back.

[Ty Schmidt]

Hell yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Now are they going to be able to beat the Lions with everything that's going on with the Lions? I have no idea. How about the Philadelphia Eagles getting as hard as they're getting over there? I mean the nfc you start starting to kind of find its way. And don't let the Rams. Okay tonight against the Dolphins, don't let them continue to get going. The Arizona Cardinals.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah.

[Bill Belichick]

Yeah. Who's in first place in the NFC West?

[Pat McAfee]

Kyler Murray.

[Ty Schmidt]

Hey again.

[Bill Belichick]

Cardinals are in first place. Guess who hasn't allowed a touchdown in the last three games? Arizona. What they played. They played the Bears and the Chargers and the jets and they haven't allowed a touchdown. But do you know the last time that that franchise hasn't allowed a touchdown in three straight games?

[Pat McAfee]

When?

[Bill Belichick]

98 years ago, Pat.

[Pat McAfee]

98 years ago.

[Bill Belichick]

Excuse me, 98 years ago.

[Pat McAfee]

Got it. Figured out, hey, Gannon's got the boys rolling and Kyler, I, I think I forget who was talking. I was watching a video maybe, maybe Baldy broke down a play action that they have. I guess he ran like a 4. 2 in high school or something like that, but then never ran a 40 again.

[Ty Schmidt]

Baldy?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. No, baldy ran a 4. 3 in high school and then he did Kyler Murray, I guess ran a 4. 2 in high school and then I don't think he's been clocked ever since. And it's like his speed is so deceptive because you think to move as fast as you have to be bigger, you have to be able to stride. Now, Tyree Kill, obviously. No, but Kyler does the same exact that Tyreek does to people just at the quarterback position and has in the way he's been operating as a leader of this team, I think is seemingly the big development. They're all over the place. Marvin Harrison Jr. Obviously getting the ball. This McBride fell. He's a dog. I love his tatt. I love the way he operates. Seems like they have an edge to him. It's like the Arizona Cardinals continue to do what they do and then that leads to an ass beating of the New York Jets. So we thought we're back. Which leads to these types of questions from ap. Tone.

[Darius Butler]

Yeah, Shifty, you've been seeing a lot of stuff about Aaron Rodgers 2025 and what the New York jets are going to want and what Rogers is going to want. What is your take on the whole situation of the quarterback situation moving forward with the New York Jets?

[Bill Belichick]

Well, you could ask him when he's on. He's on every week.

[Pat McAfee]

Right.

[Bill Belichick]

But what I would say is from just from afar.

[Pat McAfee]

You tell us what you're hearing. Obviously he's on our show every Tuesday. We're talking about what insight you have because what we're reading is.

[Bill Belichick]

Go ahead, don't, don't interrupt me when I'm breaking news. He's on your show every week.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you for promotion. Thank you for promotion. It's very nice. It's been five years of that. And if he's, if he's on every week, we get excited and we understand there's a chance he's not. So that's, you know how it kind of, kind of rolls depending upon his schedule. We will obviously talk to him tomorrow. We assume that'll be how it goes. But how are you, what are you hearing from that side? Because you would assume Woody Johnson, who might get back an ambassadorship I guess is being pitched out there. He can't be happy with how this year went. He already fired a coach. This continues to happen. And make a trade. What does the future look like from the jets standpoint, you think? In this entire conversation, I think everything's.

[Bill Belichick]

Up in the air. Like the season's been incredibly disappointing to everybody. Aaron looks to me like a guy. He doesn't look like he's having fun. It's not fun to lose. It's just not fun to be out there. When seasons are going south like this and you're unable to string together victories and the offense isn't getting any points on the board and you're getting blown up in Arizona like that. It's not. That's not fun. So I just think that when an organization already has changed its head coach, when the GM is in the last year of his contract, when the team is not winning, you know that everything is up in the air. It's like Dallas, these teams that are having these disappointing seasons, there are going to be things that happen, there are going to be changes that are made and you just have to see how extensive they wind up being. Obviously I think Aaron will have some say here and what whether he wants to keep playing or not. But he doesn't look like he's having a lot of fun to me. To me.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And that was his big message is we got to start having more fun. And then 34, six out there, it's like that's not very fun.

[Ty Schmidt]

That doesn't.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm excited to hear what he has to say tomorrow. I assume it's very loud over there in New Jersey.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh my God.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh yeah. I assume it is very loud over there in New York and this is certainly not how the year is supposed to go. I'll be excited to get his take Ambassador Johnson going back overseas though. I saw some people on the Internet say he's good for the Jets.

[Evan]

Yeah, absolutely. People are loving that.

[Pat McAfee]

That's what people are saying. Not us. We don't know the ins and outs of it enough. But they're saying let's go to an undefeated head coach in the NFL. Connor has a question for you.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, Shifty. In New Orleans, Coach Rizzy got his first dub. What's that situation like? Is there a chance that he ends up, you know, getting the full time job and then have your sources told you what caused him to take a 10 pound ship before the game to clog his toilet?

[Bill Belichick]

Yeah, I said that was the news. You're going to be getting at that he clogged the toilet and then came out and discussed it afterwards. It was quite admission that was a first. I don't ever recall a head coach nor an interim coach ever coming out and saying that he felt bad that he clogged the toilet in the coach's bathroom right before the start of a game. So that was something. That was something very new. I can't speak to what caused that exact issue.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, it might have been some gumbo. Dang. It could have been a boudang. Could have been some crawfish. Maybe he was sucking ahead down there. I mean there's a lot of things down New Orleans, Louisiana you can certainly find yourself in. And I think it does move. I think it does move. He said he thought it was gonna be a crappy day though.

[Evan]

Pun intended.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, that was pretty clever in that whole thing. But hey, they got a big time winner for the Falcons. I don't think any of us would have expected. Yeah.

[Bill Belichick]

You know, here's the thing is that interim coaches I think are always fighting an uphill battle to keep their jobs. They're taking over teams that aren't performing well. But it can be done. We saw what happened in Vegas last year with Antonio Pierce. He won over the support enough players to get the full time job job. So it can be done. It's usually not the route that teams go. They usually open it up. We look at New Orleans. I mean I could think of some candidates out there that are so logical to me.

[Pat McAfee]

Right.

[Bill Belichick]

That are just so obvious. Like Aaron Glenn, obvious one, played for the Saints, beloved in the franchise, finalist for the job the last time doing a great job in Detroit. I mean that's an obvious candidate there in New Orleans.

[AJ Hawk]

Right.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Bill Belichick]

I mean that, that, that's, that's a simple one to me.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Aaron glad great celebration yesterday. He loves that team. He's obviously he and Johnson are both going to be up for conversation of who's going to be head coaches where and mcdc is going to have to manage that with this continued success. But I love the Riz special teams guy gets a big time win.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Coach and I like that he's just operating as usual. You know his first thing he said was we had inactivation period. You know, we have a run around. We get a little sweat before the stretch thing. We used call it warm up. No, it is a. I like he's just been wide open, has not slowed down at all. I think he'll be joining us this week at some point.

[Ty Schmidt]

Nice.

[Pat McAfee]

We can't wait to chat with him. Now let's talk about another coach who wins and gets no credit. And I don't know how many toilets he's clogging, but people in Philly would say every one of them with the. That comes out of his mouth. Go ahead, Ty.

[Evan]

Yeah, I'd assume he's clogging a lot of toilets with how many cheesesteaks he's eaten week in and week out. But chef, why is Sirianni continually just getting no respect? I mean, we saw it all week on ESPN last week, literally every single day on one of the morning shows. It was basically like, hey, this Eagles team is winning in spite of coach Sirianni. He's the biggest, you know, determinant about whether or not they're going to be able to win down the stretch. Last, I mean, obviously the Cowboys out a bunch of people, but they looked like the team that went to the Super Bowl a couple years ago. Like, and all season it's been, hey, if Sirianni doesn't have a deep playoff run, like there's a chance he's going to get fired. Even though we see as like the second or third best winning percentage, you know, in NFL history. So is that still a conversation going on right now because he leaves points out there every once in a while or has that kind of cooled down a little bit and people understand that he's actually a pretty damn good football coach.

[Bill Belichick]

You know, here's what I would say to that, Ty. The more they win and as long as they, you're not going to hear much of those conversations, right? And they're rolling right now and they're winning games and it's a huge game Thursday night against the Washington commander.

[Pat McAfee]

They were winning. They were winning, though shifty. They're winning in this guy's game. Getting cooked not only on the Internet with Eagles johns, and those johns are going to cook anything. It's like on tv, they're like, this guy, this guy's a doofus and they're winning games. It's like, I wish we had a.

[Bill Belichick]

Doofus that would win games again. Again, here's the deal. If they win, people could say whatever they want. The Eagles are rolling along. So his test will be here to continue to stack the wins and to have the type of playoff run that they didn't get to have last year. If he's doing that, that people could say whatever they want, it doesn't matter. But you know, some of these self inflicted things, you know, going after the fan or Last week, that was, you know, coming out and saying, you know, a little ankle on Jalen when it was Rhett, like, just little things like that where he's giving people an opening to question. But the fact of the matter is, they're seven and two. Yeah, they're rolling. They blew out the Cowboys, and he doesn't have to worry about. About anything. If they just keep playing like that and winning games like that, if they're doing that, people could say whatever they want. It doesn't matter.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, doesn't matter. Yeah. Well, people were saying a lot last week. I bet you that one felt good. Yeah. Walking out of Dallas, we haven't got any clips of him talking shit. Not yet. On his way out of Jerry. I was hoping that Jerry would be doing his press conference, and in the back you would hear, he's so entertaining. I think he's so entertaining. And he wins games, so hopefully that's it.

[Bill Belichick]

Just keep winning. Like people can say where they want. If they're rolling along and they take down Washington for the division title and beat Detroit in the postseason, nobody is going to be able to say anything about Nick Sirianni other than he's done an unbelievable job getting the Eagles to the Super Bowl. That's it.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, last question. Quickly, we got a minute and a half here. Rams, Dolphins tonight. What do we need to know? Who's in? Who's that?

[Bill Belichick]

Well, I think it's interesting that the Rams have built up their entire off season, kind of remade the roster. When Aaron Donald leaves, they decided to funnel a lot of money into the offensive line. And tonight they get back Jonah Jackson, they get back Steve Avila. And so now they've got the line the way that they have hoped to have it. The big question, obviously, is Tyree Kill. They keep saying, game time, decision. We'll see how that goes. I checked over the weekend. It sounded promising for him to play, but again, you don't know how these things are going to go. And so we're waiting to see if he does or doesn't play. My guess is he will play. But that is a guess. That is a guess.

[Pat McAfee]

Put it on ticker, ladies and gentlemen. We'll watch him later on the Monday Night Countdown. Adam Schefter Giriani talking in the back of a Jerry Jones interview. What's up?

[Evan]

Get some curtains, old man.

[Pat McAfee]

I can't see because the sun. We're always shining, baby. God, I love him. And he wins. Yeah. Feels like Philadelphia's perfect place for him.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Bingo.

[Evan]

You know, kind of a He loves talking.

[Pat McAfee]

He does.

Football. He is awesome. And on this glorious Veterans Day, we hope that you take a chance to maybe buy a coffee or a gift or give a handshake or a pat on the back to somebody that has served in our military or is currently serving. Anybody that has the ability to sign a line that says, you know what? I don't hope for war, but if one bus it, I'll go. I'll be the one that goes. Has a certain level of courage that I could never have in myself and I think it's an admirable one, an honorable one. And on this particular day we all say thank you to the vets. Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to the vets. The man whose father was in the army. Ladies and gentlemen, nine year NFL vet Darius J. Butler.

[Gumpy]

Yes, sir.

[Pat McAfee]

Vets are badasses, all of them. Just in between the years. You're talking about warriors now. And I've always said, I don't know if I'm the only one that's ever said this, obviously, but it's been my kind of take on it because of what inevitably ended up happening with the military through the world that we're in. It's like, you don't have to be a fan of war to be a fan of the Warriors. You know, the warriors are signing up to do things to protect our country, to do stuff that others would obviously never do. So to the vets on this glorious day, like D. But's dad and many others brothers, we say thank you and not a bad day at the gas station to be like, you know, I'll get you coffee. You know what? I'll get your meal. Not a bad day to do. Don't do an ass slap, obviously. 2024 right there on the back in between the shoulder blades. Yep. Yeah, thanks. What you do?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

And not just today. Obviously do it going forward. Thank you them for their service. Michael Strahan's dad was in the army for 23 years. I just hope. What's that? Straight know that talk stable at boss. Connor, what are you talking about?

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean, maybe Michael Strahan forgot that his father served this country.

[Pat McAfee]

Damn it.

[Gumpy]

He doesn't even know you watch, Carter.

[Pat McAfee]

Michael Strahan was trending alongside Veterans Day, okay? And I didn't. I did not see it. I did not happen to watch. They were on a military base, which I think they have traditionally done with that particular show every single Veterans Day weekend, and the national anthem was playing and he was staying standing with his arms like this during the national anthem. And, man, people are pissed off about him doing that. Everybody else that he was standing next to was doing this. I didn't know. Like, I've. Obviously, I. I've done just as somebody who I think has tried my best to help out vets in any particular chance that I can, because a kid who grew up very close to my family, one in there, had some shrapnel blow up his leg. Kind of a perspective putter about who they are, what they are, what they stand for. Then you meet them here in Indianapolis, obviously. We got a Camp Pendleton, which is just an hour and a half. Or Fort Hood. I. Oh, no. Oh, what is the fort down whatever. Hour and a half south of here. Visit a lot of military here in Indiana, so getting a chance to kind of Meet everybody. You have nothing but respect. Been on a USO tour, that entire thing. I did not know that you had to do the right hand on the heart. So every once in a while, catch me hands behind, back swaying. I actually thought that it was. You weren't supposed to do it if you weren't in the military, civilians. It's kind of a thought that I thought was. But Strahan did not have his hand over his heart. And I will tell you, the Internet was not thrilled about it. Strahan's dad, I think, 23 years in the Army.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I'd assume Strahan has come out and said, thank you for that, but, man, I'm appreciative of the fact that we're at a point where people are like, we ain't disrespecting our vets anymore more. I appreciate that. I respect that. I love that, actually, because the vets deserve that type of treatment. But I think sometimes we maybe just shooting, you know, inside instead of the whole thing.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. I also saw a lot of vets actually saying, like, the anthem, police are the worst type of people on here.

[Pat McAfee]

So I don't know, because he wasn't kneeling during. He was just standing without his hand over his heart, which we looked it up, and AI told us, I guess, that you're supposed to have your hand over your heart. I did not know that. Honestly, as somebody who's been around a lot of vets, I think in a lot of these events, I thought if you weren't in the military, there's different ways to go.

[Jim Harbaugh]

But.

[Pat McAfee]

But I guess, like, we.

[Ty Schmidt]

I. I am pretty sure. And this would be someone that would have to really dive into the weeds of the show. I thought we looked this up actually, on the show, and it was said that, like, civilians aren't required, and it's actually military members who put their hands over their heart or salute the flag and then anything else go. I just know that, like, hey, just because the guy puts his hands, you know, by his side or behind his.

[Pat McAfee]

Back doesn't mean he hates America. Doesn't mean he hates America. Now. We're gonna have to ask him, of course. Somebody should certainly ask him. And with all this being said, I think. I think what the city of Indianapolis is currently doing with the homeless vet shelter that burned down a couple months ago is incredibly cool. The Pacers put up their end of the 5050 they had the other night to donate to it at. The Colts did the same exact thing with 50 50. Obviously, every business person in Indianapolis has reached out to me about the match that we're doing. It's like, you know, it's a good time to take care of the vets. You never know what's going to take. Never going to happen. And God damn it, I love America. They're all on Team America. Shout out to the vets. One half of the hammer. Don Cowboys, A.P. tone, you're. You're putting your hand over your heart to Russell Wilson, aren't you? That's what this guy.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Always it seems much better with Russ. Feels like Tomlin made that decision. He knew that there was a chance it could go the wrong way. It goes a great way. How are you feeling where you're sitting right now?

[Darius Butler]

I feel incredible. I think they're averaging over 30 points per game since Russ has started. And that, oh, my God, a world that I live in, that they're scoring 30 a game is a world that I always want to live in. My friend Russ has been great and yeah, Tomlin knew like. And who were. Who are we to ever question that man? Okay. He gets paid very well, like he says, to make those decisions. He never fails.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, he knows ball and obviously he's never had a losing season, but will he ever have a great season again is what Pittsburgh Steelers fans are wondering. He was wondering the same thing. It's why he went to Russell Wilson. It's working out. How did the Goblin go this weekend? Did the public win? Did the books won?

[Darius Butler]

The books won mostly because underdogs were 10 and three against the spread this weekend with five outright wins and the under was nine and four. Anytime that happens, the books pretty much have a. Have a pretty good day when the. When the Dogs and the Unders are going. So yeah, they. The books got back this week.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, we'll beat them. We'll beat him. Always joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's beat a lot of people. That's right. He's college football national champion. He's super bowl champion. He's Ryder cup Winner, father of 10, ladies and gentlemen, agent AJ I don't know where you want to begin. What storyline you want to chat about? Jets look dead or the Cardinals. Great. You know, that cowboy stuff. Think. Or are the Eagles fantastic? Kansas City Chiefs get so lucky all the time. Kansas City Chiefs work on everything that needs to be worked on so you win the very close games. Where. What storyline do you find most intriguing coming out of this Sunday slate? And how do you feel about the state of the NFL right now, A.J.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I I love the state of the NFL. I love how some of these games, if you never know, obviously what the Lions were able to do, their comeback was, you know, you could, you could just tell. Foxy's just rocked up all night long, just so excited. Probably couldn't even go to sleep because.

[Pat McAfee]

He was so rocked up. It won't going down. It's not going down. He's rocked up all around town. It's not going down. He's wearing Spanish. Go ahead.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah, he probably had to tuck that thing up all night just to get some rest. I'm imagining. I would think so for sure. Did you think they were going to come back? Do you think the Lions are going to find a way?

[Pat McAfee]

No, I didn't think it was enough points there. Once it gets to 2314 or whatever, it's like, oh, this is. No matter what has happened in the past, this is a very attainable game in 2024 NFL. Now, if that thing starts getting in the 30s and they're not able to come, I think it's a little bit different. But Aaron Glenn, he gets game ball immediately afterwards from Dan Campbell because first play of the second half is a pick. This is actually happening while Dan Campbell was giving an interview to Melissa Starks or whatever. He's saying like, yeah, I told the defense we need to get the ball. This is exactly how it went. You want to see from your defense.

[Ty Schmidt]

In the second half.

[Pat McAfee]

Listen, we. We have one error here or there. If we cut that out, we'll be fine. And then we got to have takeaways. Our defense has to get a couple of takeaways. We're not going to get it all at one chunk here. So just one at a time. We'll do that. We'll play this out till we get two minutes in the fourth quarter before we turn on, but we'll do it. Yeah, two minutes left in the fourth quarter is when this will turn on, but we'll do it. Mcdc Prophetic. Obviously there's a turnover there and then the final two minutes, there's like three 50 plus yard field goal attempts. Two of them are made, both of them by the Detroit Lions. And then Kaimi Farib Baron has a missed 58 yarder. But it's like what happens in this particular game I think is indicative of when things are going right for a team and when things are maybe going wrong for a team. Right now the Houston Texans have an injury bug. Things aren't going their way. Last couple weeks, D'Amicos had to answer A lot of questions. We can't protect C.J. yada, yada, yada. And for the Detroit Lions, it's complete opposite. Like that ball, the game winner from Bates after this big time. Get old Lions. Even in a dome, somehow that ball finds a way to just kiss the upright for a miss. Heartbreaker. Just a heartbreaker. Don't know. Every time Houston probably gets ball. They might even take the kickoff to the house, like right in the Lions face. That's old Lions. Now, that one sneaks in the upright, obviously. Great operation, great hold snappers. Not punching anybody on the sideline or getting punched in the face by anybody. In this particular instance, Jake Bates makes the kick. But it's like, it feels like they're doing all the right things and the football gods are rewarding them. A.J.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah, they are. And I mean, I guess what everyone who is a Lions fan just, they don't worry, but they say, okay, we just need to find a way to continue to do this when the playoffs roll around. But I think about Dan Campbell and the rest of that team when they're sitting there at halftime and people want to talk about halftime adjustments and all this. We know there's not a whole lot you can do, but they definitely talked about turnovers. They definitely said, hey, all it takes is one defense. All it takes is one to spark this thing. And let's. Let's do this. It always comes in bunch is just give our offense a couple more opportunities. And I actually liked. Multiple times I saw golf, like, in little, you know, lulls between plays or if somebody was down hurt, he was sitting there talking to the team in the huddle like, you. And he wasn't doing it for, you know, dumb cliche reasons like, oh, this is what I'm supposed to do. It looked like, hey, like, we're going to win this game. Guys, like, stick with me. Let's go make plays, and let's go do this thing. So the Lions feel like they. They know how to win. Like, some teams hope to win sometimes. Some teams try to win. The Lions, I feel like they know how to win.

[Pat McAfee]

And Jared Goff's doing that on a day where he has five picks in total, four real. The other one's a Hail Mary rip for half, basically just punting the ball down the field. That's going to happen unless you're playing the Bears. Hail. You guys didn't deserve it. There's enough going on up there in Chicago. But you're right, it does feel like everything about the Lions is they win now let's talk about the Chiefs. They want a game from blocking a field goal and I talked about it earlier. Alex Forsyth is the fish there, left end. He's supposed to get his eyes to two. He just has his head down. He's kind of on his heels. He gets run over. And the person that they call John Cena over there, that's right, Leo Chunal runs through the chest of old buddy, keeps his balance and explodes through the ball as opposed to just accidentally getting it explodes through the kick. Will Lutz said he thought it was in. Obviously, I would assume that is the case because Will has been around a long time. They're that close to winning a game against Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City. But instead this story can be. Do you know how many times they've worked this block in practice? Do you know how much belief they had to have to think that that was going to work? And then for them to execute it in the biggest moment, like, that's Chiefs football. That is what we've come to know Chiefs football as.

[Jim Harbaugh]

It's pretty awesome. And I liked how you broke it down a little bit. I know Dano broke it down earlier today, but it's true. Like, this doesn't happen. This wasn't a surprise. This wasn't a mistake like by the Chiefs. It didn't just fall into this thing. They've been working on it. They worked on it earlier in this game and you're right. Like, what. What are we doing with our technique out here? What are we doing? Trying to like, like you said, you gotta fall, you gotta die. Slow be a speed bump, but it be a slow speed bump. Man, you are a fast speed bump right there. I feel.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it sucks to be in that position as a whole. Being on the field goal team sucks here in the offense alone line and that's why there's a field side and then a short side. Normally they're taking their backups and put them on the field side. The starter is normally on the short side because you just have to be there. Very rarely are you attacking from that side. Always attacking from the field. He knew he was getting pressure on that. The way they lined up, there's two people over top of me and for him just to kind of tuck his chin and not even do anything, it's like kind of ask for it. And if you're the Denver Broncos, you should have won that game. Future has to be bright. But instead that guy is still undefeated and the Chiefs is still the Chiefs. I love watching them execute that type Of. Because that is the boring stuff. You know, that's the boring stuff. They talk about the trick plays that Kansas City does. You talk about the defense being able to disguise because everybody's so smart. It's like special teams periods are boring periods. You could view them as that. Wasted periods. Some people may throw it away. Not cheap Chiefs. Not people trying to win Super Bowl. Not people that are at the top of the game. They're like, okay, so what is the technique? Let's work this thing. Boom, one, two, three, then you're up. Boom, one, two, three, then you're up. We found a fish. This is the guy we attacked this guy. Everything we've worked, we win this game. And they executed perfectly.

[Gumpy]

It was perfect. A little too perfect. Whoa, whoa. You know, snap, biggest block prior to season for that guy. And he. He just completely forgets his take. Are we sure there's any. Something else at work here?

[Pat McAfee]

What are you talking about?

[Gumpy]

I don't know. What do you mean? Reps and special teams periods, but guy just forgot how to block on the field goal.

[Pat McAfee]

I saw some film. I don't think he knew. I don't think he ever knew.

[Darius Butler]

You think Taylor paid him?

[Pat McAfee]

Whoa, whoa. I think we're dancing around. You just went straight there. Yeah.

[Gumpy]

He's making good, man. I don't think it's that.

[Evan]

They do say Leo Chanel is. He's got the strength of a D lineman, but he's playing linebacker, so maybe that's why.

[Ty Schmidt]

How'd you get that Johnson? How do you get that strength, that much, that hard work?

[Gumpy]

A whole lot stronger than that.

[Ty Schmidt]

That guy's not worn down at all, huh?

[Pat McAfee]

What are you talking about?

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean, what are they. What's in the water?

[Pat McAfee]

Three years old, he's feeling 22, bro. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

There you go again.

[Darius Butler]

What's thicker than water?

[Ty Schmidt]

Which is magic.

[Darius Butler]

I was thinking blood.

[Pat McAfee]

What's that?

[Ty Schmidt]

Which is.

[Pat McAfee]

Matt, a lot of people saying there's some voodoo cooking over there with Taylor Swift. And it's like. I'll tell you what, I believe it because I've been in the same arena as her one time Stadium. Sorry. Much bigger than the arena. I can feel it. I can feel it. I think if she's there, they're good. Is she? Is she. She's in Canada, right? I think a couple weeks.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Coming up.

[Pat McAfee]

Is she free for this playoff run? Because I assume Andy Reid's doing a little. I mean. Excuse me. We need you. Okay. We're blocking kicks. We're coming back. We're turning the Ball over. We're not scoring touchdowns. We're still winning. You know why? You know why? Because you're Cardigan.

[Darius Butler]

Where is she right now?

[Pat McAfee]

She was there? Yes, I think.

[Darius Butler]

Where is she? Oh, Canada.

[Pat McAfee]

Where?

[Darius Butler]

In Toronto, where the Chiefs play Buffalo.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, that's pretty far away, huh?

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my God.

[Ty Schmidt]

Crazy.

[Pat McAfee]

That's awesome. Well, you go ahead and hammer the Chiefs shortest now. Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest coach of all time, greatest general manager of all time, and one of the hosts of the Manning cast this evening for the Dolphins Rams game. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Belichick. Hey, Pat. Hey, Coach. So we're. We've been talking today about the Lions and Chiefs. More specifically about how their winning games are not supposed to win. You know that that's kind of like in some of these games, the stats outweigh this. And then in some of these teams, they like golf, throws five picks, they still win the game. Why do you think that is the case with these good teams? How come it's always the great teams that win games they're not supposed to? And why do crop teams lose the games that they're supposed to, you think, Coach?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah. Well, I mean, it's great. A great job by those teams of just finding a way to win. Whether it's defensively for the Chiefs, making a stop like they did against Atlanta, or driving to win the game like they did last week against Tampa or blocking a field goal, it's just finding a way to win. And same thing with the Lions, you know, special teams a couple weeks ago against Tennessee, you know, they've been good on offensively, good on defense. And so it's having a balanced team and being able to step up and do what you need to do at the right time. Obviously, you know, Denver made a mistake. And I think that's one of the things that you learn as a team is you just can't. You just can't have anything go wrong against teams like that that are. That are really good. And one little thing, they'll take advantage of it. A little thing, but one thing I.

[Pat McAfee]

Think we're all impressed with. Bo Nicks was able to make some plays whenever he had to. Sean Payton's obviously got them bought in at number 15. 54 is going to be the fish now if he's going to maintain out there. I was always taught and I don't know yours that end there, he's getting eyes to two, right? It looks like he just ducks his head and then kind of is on his heel. He gets run right through. I assume The Chiefs knew that. It's obviously been happened earlier in the game, but that's the type of you guys are looking for in that type of. In that aspect of the game, right, coach?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, that's right. And you know, just really poor balance there, there, like you said, just kind of got run over and that ended up being the C gap rusher. So just not strong enough there at the point of attack. And that shouldn't be a problem, but obviously it was. So. Look, I always say, no matter what your role is on the team, whether you're on the kickoff team, whether you're on the field goal team, whether you're on the punt return team, whether on the goal line team, whether you're a starter or whatever it is, every play you play, be the best at it you and your unit, be the best at it that you can be. Be the best in the league at field goal protection, kickoff return, punt coverage, whatever it is, whatever your role is, be the best at it you can be. And that's what championship teams have is they have, you know, it's a team of teams, right? It's not just one team out there, it's a team of teams. And even within the offense, defense, special teams, there are multiple units involved there. And so. So whichever one you're on, you know, take the utmost pride in it and give us the highest level of performance that you have on that team, whether it's one play or 65 plays, that's what you need to win championships and win games against good teams.

[Pat McAfee]

God, the attention to detail. So awesome.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I wonder why you won so much. I wonder why you won so much. Speaking of a franchise that wins a bunch, Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly in back in contention to potentially win a championship. Before this season, you said, you know, there's a lot of conversations about a lot of quarterbacks. I think the Steelers are very comfortable and good with their quarterback room. Now Justin Fields comes in, he wins some games. A difficult decision was made by coach Mike Tomlin. He said, I want to see what we have with Russ. We know what we have with Justin. We want to go on and win. They get a huge win over a hot Washington Commanders team. Russell Wilson makes big plays. Preston Smith makes some big plays. Mike Williams makes some big plays. Everybody that they've added to that team seemingly over the last year, year has contributed. What are your thoughts on the Steelers and how do you feel about them potentially being a team in the end?

[AJ Hawk]

Well, I think this week will be a big. That'll go a long way to Seeing how this division turns out against Baltimore is those are the two teams that, you know, don't exchange Christmas cards, so that'll be a great match up there. You know, a lot of these teams talking about their. Their quarterback and their franchise quarterback and all that, looks like Pittsburgh has two good quarterbacks, so that's a good thing. And of course, they've always been, you know, really solid on defense. They made a lot of moves at the trade deadline, whether it's for the receiver, the pass rusher, just, you know, I would say a couple roles that they feel like they really needed to strengthen their team. And it looks like they're going to be in it for a while. So it's a great job by Pittsburgh and, you know, just a good situational play at the end of the game, you know, Washington jumped offside, you know, not get the ball back, a bad penalty. Same thing that happened in the Jacksonville game where, you know, they get a bad penalty there and. And, you know, end up not. Not getting the ball back at the end of Minnesota, able to run out the clock by kneeling on the ball. So situational football, again, everybody that walks on the field, whether it's their decision, like those penalties, or whether it's ball security, like what happened in the. In the Giants game, or field goal protection, like what happened in the Denver game, each one of those guys has a lot of responsibility when you step foot onto the field. And if you make a mistake, it's the whole organization that can celebrate or suffer depending on how that goes. So that's why you need a full team.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Go ahead, AJ Coach, you know, your old squad that the Patriots got a big win and Drake May, their young quarterback, is playing well and pumping up the defense and trying to get all the media room to give a standing note to the defense. What do you make of the young guys play? Like, do you like how he's kind of grown into that leadership role and playing better on the field as well?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, well, I think he's done a good job when he's been able to scramble and run around, made some plays on play action where they can separate the defense. Because the running game, when Stevenson can get it going, is, you know, draw some of the coverage and the linebackers up and so forth. But, you know, to me, the bigger thing is just where the Bears are. I mean, they can't protect, they can't move the ball, they can't score any points. Jacksonville, same situation. I mean, you have several of these teams that just. We talked about this at the Beginning of the year, Pat, in Chicago, you know, they have this all star quarterback, these all star receivers, you know, greatest skill players in the history of football. And the offensive line's a problem. They can't run the ball, they can't protect. Swift is doing all he can but you know, it's, it's just, you know, hard and then, you know, you get into a situation where too many negative plays, too many turnovers, too many long yarded situations and it's been a, you know, a tough. We'll say, look, they've had the benefit of the schedule. We'll see how it goes here with, you know, with the Bears and with Jacksonville and teams like that, you know, Seattle that have had a lot of offensive line problems. I mean it's just, you know, Cleveland just hard to imagine that they're, they're going to really be able to sustain much when you have that many problems up front.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's go to Chicago. Actually back to Chicago. Ty has a question for you.

[Evan]

Yeah, speaking of Chicago coach, now it's coming out, you know, everyone's saying, hey, you look at Caleb Williams, he's definitely regressing and everyone's coming after Shane Waldron and obviously there's all the questions about Eber Fluss, whether or not he's going to keep his job. But as a coach, especially a defensive minded head coach, coach, how do you know when it's time mid season to make like a play calling change like they're talking about right now?

[Pat McAfee]

And with that being said, he just spoke at his press conference. He said Caleb's not getting bench and Shane Wadgin still the play caller as of now, literally just moments ago.

[AJ Hawk]

Way to be on top of it, Pat.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you. Just news breaking. Just news breaking. Just news breaking. Sorry.

[AJ Hawk]

Well, yeah, I mean that's. Look, I think the only time, you know, I think you want to make that decision is when you know you're not going to go back on it, that you know that the die is cast, that and this is the way it's going to go. And whatever you've seen, you've reached the point that unless there was some type of injury or some circumstance that's I would say kind of unforeseen, that this is the way it's going and then that's when you would make that change, not you don't want to make it and then two or three weeks later realize, well actually things were better before and now we need to make a, we need to go back to where we were. That's not what you want to do. So once you decide that's what it is, then go ahead and move forward. But you better be sure because you definitely don't want to backtrack.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. Speaking of backtracking, there's a lot of that potentially happening in organizations. It's getting loud this time of year. Dbuch, got a question for you.

[Gumpy]

Yeah, 2024, we always talk about players kind of blocking out the noise outside the building, but I feel like it's getting tougher for coaches to kind of block out that noise. You know, whether it be front office listening, what's going on in the radio or media or content or whatever. How hard is that? And how do you manage that as a coach, blocking out noise, even if you're like a team coaching a winning team like Nick Sirianni, on the other side of that, a guy like Brian Dayball who's kind of struggling to find, you know, some footing right now with his team.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, well, I think when you're in that leadership position, you. You have to block out the noise, good or bad. You're going to hear it both ways. You'll have supporters and you'll have some detractors or critics. That's part of the game. That's part of the position. That is what it is. So you do the best you can for the team, make the best decisions that you can on a week by week basis. And also, you know, in the foreseeable future, over the next few weeks, if you. There's a decision you make that can help the team, then you make it. Whether that's a personnel decision, whether it's the way you practice or a schematic change or, you know, whatever it happens to be. Just do the best that you can for the team and make sure the team knows that you're doing everything you can to win. And that's what your job is as a coach, and that's what you should do. And I think that's what all those guys are doing.

[Pat McAfee]

Did you ever get a sense throughout your coaching career, not just in New England, throughout your entire coaching career in New York and Cleveland and everywhere that people were that were, you know, maybe ownership or above g. Whatever the case were, listening to, like, the media and that could potentially sway some things? Did you ever get that sense?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, well, 100%. 100%. You know, there's a lot of times where if you. You read the. The Monday paper that you get the exact same questions from the owner when you meet with him later in the day. It's almost like the, you know, they read the columns and all, and then, you know, whatever's in the paper, then that's kind of the question. Hey, why don't you blitz more? Hey, how come I didn't run this play more? Hey, how come we didn't, you know, we went for it on 4th? Now, whatever it is, it's whatever the columns are in the paper, a lot of times that's what pops up in the owner's meetings. But, you know, it is what it is. You know, again, you make the decisions that you feel like are best for the team and you live with them. Not all of them are right. Certainly you try to learn from the mistakes that you make and be better prepared or, or maybe recognize something the next time that situation comes up, how you would handle it differently. But that's, again, that, that's part of the situation. And look, nobody made more mistakes than I did in New England. You make, you know, hundreds of decisions every day, a couple hundred decisions every day just in, you know, what you do, what you say, how you do it and so forth, or the way you structure practice, meetings, plays, everything else. And yeah, they're not all right. And the ones that need to be corrected need to be fixed. And you got to do your part, and so does everybody else in the team in the organization. If everybody improves a little bit, then you'll see a big change in the team. If only one or two improve, then it's probably not going to move the needle too much.

[Pat McAfee]

Are you a believer and you're either getting better or worse type thing too, as well?

[AJ Hawk]

Absolutely.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, absolutely. And look, in the NFL, every week's a new week. You're playing a different team with a different scheme, with different matchups. So it doesn't really matter what happened last week. It's a whole new challenge this week with, with all those. Those factors that I just mentioned. And if you don't go through the full preparation and, and do everything you can to have the team ready to go, then you're. You're just giving them a better opportunity to, you know, to have a better day against you than you have against them. So, you know, once it's over, you turn the page and you move on. Fun, but preparation and, and focusing on the next opponent and, you know, your next opportunity is. You've got to do that quickly. You can't, you know, sit there and bask in any of the glory or, you know, or, you know, feel. Feel sorry for yourself. Like, none of that's going to Help, anything at all. Just recognize the mistakes, what you did well, reinforce those, move on and start getting ready for the next game, man.

[Pat McAfee]

Owners coming into head, coaches around the NFL going, doing. Why is Dan Orlovsky saying, we need to run?

[Ty Schmidt]

That's what's going O.C.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Joe.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my God, could you imagine that? Head coach is sitting in there watching film, hasn't slept in two days, just doing his whole thing. Owner comes in. Oh, Mr. Mr. And Mrs. Whatever. Oh, sure. Can I have a moment? Absolutely. This morning, Dan Orlovsky said we're not running enough.

[Gumpy]

Better spacing.

[Pat McAfee]

We're not using the fool.

[Ty Schmidt]

Talk to wall.

[Evan]

Thank you, man. Good point.

[Pat McAfee]

Why is Dan saying that? I would like to see us use the entire. And then them just pausing, going, fuck you, Dan Orlovsk. That is a. That is a magical thing to think that's really happening, though, probably somewhere is what you're saying.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah. Hey, coach, you know, McAfee said that you should have blitzed a little more on third down. I don't know. Why do you think he said that?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry to any coaches that we've ever been used as. Not that we have, but if that.

[AJ Hawk]

Is because you have so much credibility, you played, you've had a lot of success, you've got deep A.J. you got other players on there, guys that have been very successful, smart players that are experienced and have seen a lot and done a lot. And hey, they said you should be doing this, should be doing that. What do you think? Maybe we should, huh? Maybe we should be running more trap plays like eight. Maybe we ought to be playing a little bit more man coverage like D. But said, I don't know, you know, Pac man said, hey, maybe we should be returning more punts, not rushing so many, you know, I mean, yeah, that's real.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry to all the coaches that we've been part of it, but also figure it out. Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Hey, how do you answer that, though? How do you answer that, coach? Like, what can you say, like, other than, hey, those guys are in.

[AJ Hawk]

Honestly, it doesn't really matter who asked the question. The answer will be the same anyway. Would depend on whatever the question is. Why didn't we blitz as much? Well, because whatever reason, you know, they protected a lot or we couldn't match up the COVID whatever the reason was, I don't know, but it's. It would still be an honest answer. The fact that the question came from somewhere else is control what you can control, man.

[Pat McAfee]

I Couldn't even imagine.

[AJ Hawk]

Control the answer. You can't control the question.

[Pat McAfee]

Sean Payton today with this one. Hey, why is that guy out there? So. So Dan Orlovsky's a quarterback. He said that this was a thing. And then Pat McAfee, do you know he's a field goal guy? I think he was field goal. He punted the field goals. I think he said, this guy doesn't.

[Ty Schmidt]

Know what the fuck he's doing.

[Pat McAfee]

Why is this guy on the gate? We almost beat the Chiefs. Like, oh my God, I'm so sorry, Sean. I am so sorry. Sean Payton's gonna have to deal with that. But hey, you're Bill Ford brother. And also that can't happen. That can't be happening.

[AJ Hawk]

Pat. Pat. I mean, I'll be honest with you. The kind of the worst, the worst that it ever was for me, honestly, were these two questions. In Cleveland, you know the guy that's run the defense, like, does he really know what he's doing? Are you sure we're okay on defense? Do you think maybe, you know, like, do you want to maybe call some more of those defenses? Saving right offensive line. I, I know we're not the most talented offensive line, but what about the coaching? Like, are we okay on the coaching up there? I feel like we can maybe get a little more out of these guys with the coaching. Now that's Kirk Ference and Pat Hill. Like, no, the problem is not the coaching. The problem is not the coach coaching.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh my God.

[AJ Hawk]

Of all the coaches. Of all the coaches. To be honestly, to be asked about on the staff, the O line and the defense was Saban, Ference and Pat Hill. That was, that was mind boggling.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh my.

[AJ Hawk]

I gotta be honest, that was mind boggling.

[Pat McAfee]

Imagine being a billionaire owner too. Just excuse me, who's this little Nicholas? I think Saban is what he doesn't see here at all. Oh yeah, he'll go on to be one of the greatest of all time, the offensive line, this guy, he'll be one of the greatest of all time. What a time you coaches have to deal with so much shit, you know, that that whole world is in and right now it's heating up everywhere. Now it usually does happen in this one particular organization. This year it's complete opposite direction. Connor has a question for you. Coach.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, coach, we're talking to Jim Harbaugh here in a little bit. What do you think about what he's doing over there in la? It feels as though to pass point, they've kind of unlocked Herbert. Everything that we thought the Chargers were going to be every single year this year it feels like they've done. What do you think about the culture he's kind of established and do you think that he'll keep this going for, you know, years down the road?

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, I think that's what Jen does, is establish culture that that's exactly what he does. He's tried to build a more balanced team, more emphasis on the running game, more emphasis on defense and taking some of the pressure off herbert so there 45 times a game and throw for 350 yards to win. So. And Herbert's, you know, embraced that. He's done a better job of just doing what the team needs him to do. He doesn't have to, you know, go back there and lead the league in passing and, you know, interceptions and everything else. Just go back there and, you know, take advantage of the opportunities that he has and, and let the runners run, let the defense play defense and, you know, those kind of things. And, and Jim's established a hard nosed, tough culture, which is really what, you know, what every team needs is they need a culture that everybody believes in and can rally around. And Jim's done a good job of that.

[Pat McAfee]

Isn't it crazy?

[AJ Hawk]

But you knew that's what it was going to be. That's what Jim did at San Francisco, that's what he did at Michigan. That's what he believes in. He doesn't make any bones about it.

[Pat McAfee]

We knew as soon as he went up there, it's like, all right, they're going to become a physical team and they're going to become a tough team. And it's like, isn't that what everybody's hoping to become and is Jim Harbaugh just has the ability to do it? Why do you think some coaches.

[AJ Hawk]

Well, no, I don't think the Bears are looking to be that. I think the Bears are looking to, you know, they draft the quarterback with the first pick. They go out and take another receiver and I got receivers all over the place. They got a tight end and, you know, we got all these weapons for the quarterback. But we talked about this at the beginning of the year. There's issues on the offensive line now they got a couple guys hurt. I mean, now they score three points, you know, they haven't scored and I don't know how long, how many drives have it before since they. Well, it's not because they, you know, not because they didn't draft the quarterback, not because they don't have receivers, but you know, there's issues on the offensive line. It's the way the team is built. Certainly wasn't built like San. Like I keep saying, San Diego, like the Chargers are built. I mean, they have a different, you know, a different model, different format. I mean, same thing in Detroit. Detroit went out and did what? Got two good tackles and a good center. Well, it's not a bad place to start. Then you start filling in around it with, you know, the quarterback, with the running back, with the receivers, and, you know, it's. It's not. It's just a different model.

[Pat McAfee]

Always. Football is always going to be this. When football matters, it always comes down to this. Feels like it, doesn't it, Bill? It really does. When football starts to matter, feels like you have to be able to punch somebody in the mouth. Like that has to happen.

[AJ Hawk]

Well, 100%, because sooner or later you're going to run into somebody that's going to play the game that way, and you got to be able to fight back. That's why, you know, we'll see what happens with Baltimore and Pittsburgh, not just this week, but all the way through. But, you know, the teams that come out of that division, you know, they're going to come out of their tough, physical and let's call it battle hardened. And you know, you get that from the AFC North. That's just the way they play. And you know, I'd say Cleveland, even though they've had some issues, I'd say defensively, like, you know, if you play good against their defense, that's a pretty good sign. So, you know, that's what that division is. It's your battle hardened when you come out of there. That's a lot like it was when, when I was with the giants in the NFC east in the 80s. You, after you play Washington, Philadelphia and Dallas, I mean, whoever could survive that, you know, had a pretty good chance against San Francisco.

[Pat McAfee]

Now the story of the NFC east is which coach can survive. That's what it's been for like the last five, ten years or so as they passed the championship crown around, except for to the Washington commanders and the New York Giants. Now Washington commander seemingly all the way back. Giants still have a bunch of question marks. Dallas Cowboys, geez, yikes. That entire thing. And the Philadelphia Eagles playing their best ball.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Go ahead, AJ coach Christian McCaffrey came back from his injury and it had, you know, definitely a solid game. Not crazy, off the charts game like he normally has. But can you describe a little bit what it's like to try to defend a guy like McCaffrey that can seemingly do it all from out of the backfield, receiver, whatever he's doing, even block and not just how hard the dude plays. It looks like he is legit pissed off if he doesn't score every time he touches the ball.

[AJ Hawk]

He. He's really a hard guy to fan. And I don't think McCaffrey gets enough credit for his inside running. He's very good at setting up blocks. He accelerates through the hole and does a good job with his inside run vision. We all know what he's like out on the perimeter and in a passing game. He's so hard to tackle in space, but this guy has really good body lean and, and he has a lot of power for a smaller size guy, but he reads the inside blocking power veterans very well. And I mean, he's just really impressive as a, as a runner. Again, we know in space, but in line, I mean, I have a lot of respect for, for his toughness, for his ability to make yards after contact. Like I said, set up blocks and, you know, really run with power for a size. I mean, it's, it's different, but it kind of reminds me a little bit of Curtis Martin. You know, Curtis wasn't the biggest guy, but pound for pound probably is one of the strongest players in the NFL. Hall of Fame. Runner, very good in the passing game. You know, like that type of a player, you know, compared to like guys like Derrick Henry and people like that that are just big physical backs. Those guys were physical, but they were, you know, 205 pounds or, I don't know, whatever McCaffrey and Martin were.

[Pat McAfee]

But somewhere in that range, McCaffrey goes for 170 yards. Everybody says kind of a slow start for. All right. All right. Had a couple massive plays. Let's talk about tonight. Rams, Dolphins. Rams favored by 2 1/2 at home. I guess Tyreek Hill was a question, but Schefter said he is guessing that he will play for the Miami Dolphins. And when it comes to the Rams, Matthew Stafford and this McVeigh team have been playing a lot differently as of late than maybe at the beginning of the year. And it all revolves around that guy potentially being back on the field. Cooper cup, what are your thoughts on how tonight goes and what are you looking forward to most in the Manning cast? Cast?

[AJ Hawk]

Well, actually, Pat, we don't have the Manning cast tonight, but.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about? I'm bummed out about that. The hell I just found out yesterday The Colts don't work hard at practice. And now I find out there's no man in. What the.

[Gumpy]

Geez.

[AJ Hawk]

We, we. We have 11 games. But. No, but here's what I'll say about that. I, I think the story of the Rams really is this deal. Defensive line. I mean, these guys have been phenomenal. They're, you know, they're really coming into their own as a group, certainly versus, you know, to me, a centerpiece kind of guy. This guy is, Is so powerful. But you, you know, you have him. You've got, you know, both of the inside defensive tackles, they have good edge players, very well coached. Gift Smith's done a great job out there with them. And really this, this defensive line, this front four for the Rams. Rams as bad as they looked early in the year when they, you know, Detroit just kind of ran the ball down the, down the field on them in overtime and, and I don't think they even put the ball in the air on that last drive. But you know what they're playing like now. They're so disruptive. Tackles for losses, sacks, hurries, batted balls, you know, for interceptions. I mean, these guys are really good. And then you have the offenses start to come back after the receivers have come back for them last couple weeks. Weeks. You know, the Rams, I mean, they look like they've got a little. They got a lot of things going for him.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, they're a lot of fun to watch. And Matthew Stafford, when he's picking people apart and his Halloween costumes, he is an entertainment machine. We can't wait to watch that game tonight. We can't thank you enough for joining us, Coach. Enjoy the night off. Sounds like.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna sit back and watch this one. And I'm telling you, that Rams defensive line is, Is really impressive. A lot of guys that nobody ever has ever heard of, but they're going to start, you know, they're going to start showing up. And believe me, the guys who are playing against them on offense, you know, talk to the guys at Seattle. They, they know who they are. You know, this is a good group.

[Pat McAfee]

Good luck to the Miami Dolphins offense. Ladies and gentlemen, the Goat, Bill Belichick. Thank you, Bill. Okay. You know, that's a big talking point for this evening.

[Ty Schmidt]

Huge.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You know where he's leaning.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Well, you know, how's Miami do whenever their offense just gets compared, Completely besmirched at the offensive line there. Not that great. So give me the Rams is what it sounded like from Bill Belichick. Yep. Gumpsh Are we worried about what's about to happen up front in this ro.

[AJ Hawk]

Line has actually been one of the best in the league last few weeks. So it looks like it's a good.

[Pat McAfee]

Head to head tonight, boys. Oh, it's a matchup. You're saying we need to keep an eye on someone.

[Ty Schmidt]

Tell a Q that I haven't heard a damn thing about it.

[Pat McAfee]

No, they have not been on there. Well, it's because we lose.

[AJ Hawk]

You can't put a team up when they lose.

[Gumpy]

Exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

Have been pounding the rock. Just unfortunate turnovers. I don't think Mostert's going to be.

[AJ Hawk]

Getting the ball as much tonight by.

[Pat McAfee]

He runs hard though.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, but two huge fumbles. I don't think what McDaniel said could be a lot of HN and Jalen Wright, a bit of a dog is a rookie.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. I'm excited to watch it. We got a good one tonight. Entertaining football.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yes, for sure.

[Pat McAfee]

Stafford's entertaining.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yes, Stafford's always entertaining.

[Pat McAfee]

Always entertain. Entertaining to entertaining.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Same thing.

[Ty Schmidt]

Please God. Prime time though.

[Evan]

Yeah, you just, you pray together and.

[Gumpy]

Pray that D line give Smith then some free hitters at that quarterback.

[Ty Schmidt]

Not tonight.

[Pat McAfee]

Not on this night.

[Jim Harbaugh]

No, not Quick whistle. We need Quick whistle.

[Pat McAfee]

Put him down.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Soft quick whistle.

[Pat McAfee]

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a goat. One of the greatest humans to ever be introduced to society, who happens to be the biggest football guy we've ever heard of, ladies and gentlemen. He's a national champion at the University of Michigan. Now he's the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Harbaugh. Coach, how are you?

[I]

Mr. McAfee, how are you? Good to see you. Good to see you. A.J. man, I want you to do an introduction.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, I will. Ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I'll do them whenever you need one. Because anytime you talk, the world gets better. It feels like every press conference you're at, I'm learning of something that I did not know about the 6 being afraid of 7. Because of 7. 8. 8. 9. Perfectly timed, perfectly dropped, perfectly executed. Feels like all your metaphors are entertaining and awesome. Now let's talk about that. Obviously your dad, who's got it better than us? Nobody. Why do you think you are such a football guy and why do you think you are like the perfect coach? Why do you think that is the case in your perspective?

[I]

I, I really just take, I, I, I know there's a lot of people say that the, I just take the personality of the players, of the, of the team, of the organization, the other coaches. I Mean, all those great virtues that people have and just rubs off on me, you know, and I apply it. You know, our team, the joy that they have playing football and competing together, I am sure that it, I see it. I mean, it's just right there in front of you. I think people see it when they watch the tv. It comes through. Everybody here in the organization is affected by it and been noticing it since day one. Our fans, I know they saw it. This is, this past game was. You know, our crowd was really into it and gave us so much support. But I mean, you could just go down the line, the list of the guys on the team and again noticing it since they're happy for each other's success. Derwin James, Justin Herbert, Khalil Mack. I mean, it's everything about it, every single thing with. With Derwin, everything. It's the love of the game, it's the infectious way that he plays and anything he does, meeting environment, training environment. Yeah, that rubs off. I want to. I want to. I want to get some of that, you know, Justin Herbert, just the love of that he has for competition, the fierce competitor that he is, Khalil Mack, I mean, the humble warrior. Again, everything that he does, I mean, advice giver, anything that he says, you just want to soak it in and be around it and just learn from him. And I could go down the list, you know, Scott Matlock, I mean, his. He was on the. He was on with J.J. watt and, you know, just sheer endurance that he has, you know, the versatility. Denzel Perryman, total team guy. Joey Bosa, I mean, it's like him and I breathe the same air, you know, as people. Jk. JK Dobbins. I just take it, I take it. I take his energy, his toughness, his confidence. I'm, I'm not. I don't. I don't know if I'm the most confident guy, you know, deep down, but I just. I take it from these, from these other guys. J.K. scott, I mean, he's our spiritual guidance that he gives us. Zion. Zion Johnson is the. I mean, talk about a renaissance man. He could play. He could play left guard in the NFL or he could be a CIA computer programmer. I'll tell you, both are going to love this. So we had a training camp practice. Zion Johnson get. Gets root canal done. So there's an hour he gets. He gets out of the chair, comes over to practice. Everybody's like, hey, Zion, man, you just had root canal. Like, no, no, I want, I want to go. I want to go. I want to practice. He practices the entire practice after practice. We got conditioning and we're running gassers. He's. He always chooses to run with the skill, the big skill players. He's an offensive lineman. He runs with the big skill. And he leads that big skill group. And did all that an hour after. Root canal. Yeah. He got a high ankle sprain two weeks ago, practiced the next day.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[I]

It's just, it's. It's just. I mean, just. You take it right. It's infectious. I mean, the things that guys pour into it. I mean, it just. It just rubs off on you over and over. Dan Henley, I mean, it's just. He's got the pulse of everything. He knows. One of those teammates that knows everything, knows he's cool, you know, he teaches you, you know, just stuff, you know, like life, you know, keeps you young, keeps you vibrant, keeps you energized. Brad Bradley Bozeman. You saw what he did. I mean, you know, somebody was going after Justin. Yeah, here he comes. Nobody's going to mess with my quarterback. You know, just that protector, that provider. So. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that makes me. Other than somebody that can recognize virtues and other people.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[I]

Take them on.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[I]

You guys had teammates like that, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Amen. Amen, Coach. But usually they say, like a team takes on the identity of the coach. I love that your take is.

[I]

It's opposite. It's opposite, exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

Of course, that's the most Coach Harbaugh thing of all time. And it makes so much sense. We were just talking, you know, to Coach Belichick, and he was talking about how everybody. And we knew this, too, as soon as you went to la, it's like, hey, they're going to have a tough team like that is. That is Jim Harbaugh football. It sounds like this roster was littered with a lot of football guys. And I've heard you say this, like, football guys like me, and I like football guys. Did you find that whenever you got into la? Chargers building, obviously, new building. It's very nice. Now, with that roster and what you've added, do you feel like you have a team that you. You like, respect the amount of toughness. And is this exactly what you envisioned whenever you get to the Chargers as a team?

[I]

Yeah, I mean, it was. It was very early on got here. And I like people that like football, people that like football like me back. I like them back. But there's guys here, I mean, they love Football, and it just upped it up such a notch. So, yeah, I love these guys. It's gone beyond, like. But just respect. And any respect you give anybody in our organization, then they give you that respect back and then some. It comes from the top. The Spanos family. But everybody, everybody working to, like, their jobs, the most important job in the entire organization. And you see it because everybody's double checking, triple checking, quadruple checking, you know, gotta get it right, you know, gotta do anything and everything to help the team and the organization win. So, yeah, it's infectious. You come in every day like, you know, what can I add? What can I add? What can I. What can I help with? You know, and there's. There's very little I can do for Justin Herbert. I mean, he is. He's like nobody. He's one of the best of all time, you know, already. He's already breaking these records that prove that and show that. But, you know, one thing is, hey, we gotta protect this guy.

[Pat McAfee]

It's.

[I]

It's. When it's. It's like being around greatness every single day, that's what it feels like to me. And, hey, we got to protect them. So. And our guys like Bradley Bozeman, Our offensive line, J.K. dobbins, Khalil Mack, everybody on the team sees it like, hey, man, let's. This guy right here, just let him. Let him. Let him finish a throwing motion. He is going to do incredible things.

[Pat McAfee]

Let him.

[I]

Maybe that's the one thing I've added. I can recognize that. We got to have a running game. We got. We got to protect this quarterback. Because if not, he will. He will. He is such a hero. He is such a. You know, he'll. He'll do it all himself. He'll try to do it all himself. And. And we all know in football that it, you know, it takes. It takes a team. That's why I so excited after this last game.

[Pat McAfee]

The way you talk, this guy, such a hero. And then I think the first time you talked about Herbert publicly, you're like, he know, like a golden goose has, like this thing. And you're saying, best of all time. And you can go ahead and check there's records that already prove that. It's like you've been a believer in Herbert, I think, since before you got there was a massive piece, I think, of why you went there. And then it's only grown, it seems like, huh.

[I]

Yeah. To the point where you're running out of adjectives, you know, to describe him anymore. You Know, he's just, he's a, he's a beast, you know, half, half man, half beast. And he'll do anything and everything, you know, for his team. And the two biggest plays of this past game, you know, he made a fourth and one quarterback sweep where we really didn't block anybody. We might have blocked a guy or two, but there was a lot of guys that weren't blocked. And he just went beast mode. Got it in the end zone. Then right before the half, you know, I should have run the ball. I shouldn't, shouldn't have been throwing it there late in the half. You know, he gets hit, doesn't see him, you know, hit arm, arm hit. There's nobody that could, that could have held onto the ball. But his, he got a big hand, he's got great strength, and he was able to finish that throwing motion and get an incomplete pass rather than a fumble that would have, you know, know, it looked like to everybody in the stadium, that was a fumble, pick it up, Titans score a touchdown. But it was almost inhuman that he was able to hold on to the ball. Those are the two biggest plays of the game. He's our guardian of victory. And it's infectious on all of us. You and I, we've all been on teams, right? I mean, you see, you see players when they make plays, you know, really, the toughness kind of plays the, the, you know, and it rubs off on you. It puts us, it puts a steel in your spine, okay? If he can do that, if he's laying it on the line like that, then I can lay it on the line like that. And it just, it ups everybody's. Ups everybody's game. And, you know, Derwin James, Khalil Mack Zion, John Rashad Slater, most detailed guy I think I've ever been around. Scott Matlock, what he does, special team, teams, defense, offense, just examples come, you know, they just flood you and it just, it just makes you want to. Want to rise up and be worthy to be. Contribute something to the, to the ball.

[Pat McAfee]

Club, especially at the quarterback position, you know, like that's why the guardian of victory, the inhumane. It's like at quarterback, it is such a powerful thing and it feels like, I guess you're taking on the identity of Herbert. But there's a chance that since you got to town, we're learning.

[I]

There's no gene in my body I wouldn't trade. We have four. It's incredible.

[Pat McAfee]

Go ahead, A.J. go ahead, A.J.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Coach, you seem like a very curious person. I've hear People talk about like the smartest people in the world are like curious, always learning, always evolving. Would you say that's the case? And it seems like how you feed off of your players, you're always. Are you constantly asking them, these guys questions and people around you? Not only. What I like is not. This seems like it's not only football questions. Even though you're a football guy, like you care about the people as humans.

[I]

Well, there's no question about it. And not just the players. I mean the coaches. I mean, you see what our guys are, our guys are doing. I mean, those are, you know, who's your confidant in football? I mean, here it's the guys that are here, the coaches that are here. Jesse Minner, I mean, I learned so much from him. Greg Roman, Steve Klingscale, our secondary coach, doing an incredible job. Mike Elston, Mike Devlin gave him a game ball this past week for our offensive line play. I mean, I'm always down and talking to Joe Ortiz. You know, just so much football knowledge. Yeah. I mean it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's a happy mission. You know, it doesn't have to be one of those, you know, it's grind. It's, it's so hard. We're so miserable. I mean, it's. When you got these kind of people that love football, I mean, it just, it makes that. The atmosphere, you know, it's a joy. Like I said, the most impressive thing to me was the way our, the joy which with our players are playing football and compet, you know, together. Always happy for the other guys. Success. It's kind of like your show there. I mean, I see you guys, you got all the people, you know, good guys everywhere, good ideas coming. Good idea can come from, from anywhere, you know, and that's.

[Pat McAfee]

Amen.

[I]

I watch your show. That's kind of what it's like. That's the, that's what it's. The atmospheres are like around the bolt, around our, our office. It's just, it's like a football, you know, beehive, a beaver dam. I mean, there's just an activity of football going on at all times in any direction you look. You know, people are, people are getting after you. Hey, you want to get that work in? Yeah, I want to get that work in. Okay, well, if you're, if you're, if you're man enough to get that work in, meet me at, at 7am in the weight room. We'll get, we'll get it In.

[Pat McAfee]

It's just.

[I]

It's that kind of like, you know, iron, sharpening iron. It's fun to be around.

[Pat McAfee]

We like to be a beehive of positive sports.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

A beaver dam of good ideas, engineering. Yeah, we like all that stuff. Especially when that. That wood comes up the creek front of one beaver. Like, damn, that's a good idea right there. Grab it. That's a good piece of wood right there. We're gonna add into this.

[I]

Yeah, well, yeah. Yeah. You see everybody else working, everybody else getting after it. I mean, you don't want to be the weak link.

[Pat McAfee]

No, you want to know, you want to.

[I]

You want to. You want to. You want to find a way to contribute. And so that's probably no different than what you do and what we do.

[Pat McAfee]

Amen. Now, granted, yours, you go onto a field and there's a lot more physicality and everything like that. Ours is we just show up and do this. We just do this for a couple hours. You see, we do this, we don't have to, actually.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Little different game. Little different game in the entirety.

[I]

But that looks good. That looks good. And it's original. And you got originality. I don't see anybody else doing that.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Amen. Put it on the ticker. Put it on a seat. Kick ticker for that. Now, to everything that you've said today, there is a very good question coming from AP to.

[Darius Butler]

Yeah, Coach, I. I read an article. It said Saturday, you. You gave a speech about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, And I was wondering, have you ever heard a story, watched a movie, done anything, where you didn't hear it or see it, and then think in your brain how you could tie it back to being something motivational for a football team?

[I]

Very, very few times. Very few times. Yeah, it's. I. Yeah, things just get tied back to football for me. Maybe that's. That's. Guilty as charged.

[Pat McAfee]

There I was at a restaurant the other day, saw this busboy come flying in, dropped his shoulder, turned a corner, scooped up a cup. I thought to myself, wow, this gotta be a great charger. Just the way. So everything. Everything for you, you can find motivation in everything.

[I]

Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, in anything. Especially if somebody's doing that job with excellence, you know, if they, no matter what they're doing, if they're doing that job with a love and a passion and, you know, that it's, you know, it's for the cause, you know, hey, you know, I'm just a stonecutter, you know, but I am cutting this stone because it has the chance to be the keystone of this great cathedral that we're building. You know, that's the kind of guy that I respect and admire and want to learn from and, you know, not the guy. Hey, what are you doing? I'm cutting stone. What does it look like I'm doing? You know, let me move on to somebody else. You know, that's. That's not quite what we're looking for here. Competitors are welcome to the 2024 Los Angeles Chargers.

[Pat McAfee]

Competitors are welcome. What a shirt. What a mantra.

[Ty Schmidt]

Hell, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

What a life motto in this entire thing. And how about you? Talking about that stone cutter right there just got me jacked up. Yeah. What if that stone is the beginning of a cathedral that goes on to be one of the greatest places of all, Earth? I didn't even think of that. Yeah. I cut stone. Leave me alone, okay? Yeah. I don't want you cutting my coach. You're the best man. Now, there are some things that you do after games I think are a little bit different than most people. Go ahead, con man.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, coach. The Chargers social media team captures kind of the post games in your locker room. And one of the things that we love is the. For he's a jolly good fellow. Sing along. When did that start? And then also when did the. Everybody get a high five. High five. Somebody start as well?

[I]

Oh, there's, you know, the power of the high five. It's. It's. It's such a good feeling. Some other time. I can tell you.

[Pat McAfee]

The day I.

[I]

Fell in love with football. Nine years old in Ann Arbor, Michigan, playing for the Ann Arbor Junior Packers. Made my first tackle, and after that, got my first high five. I mean, both fell in love with football that day. And also. Yeah, the power of the high five. That's a great invention. And we, you know. Yeah. I mean, that's. That's that. Love the high five.

[Pat McAfee]

How could you not? Oh, sing.

[I]

Yeah, we like to sing.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[I]

Give each other a high five.

[Pat McAfee]

Wow. Boom.

[Bill Belichick]

That was awesome.

[Ty Schmidt]

Coach, you're the best, man.

[I]

You are the best.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, he think about you for. He's a good fellow. Love it.

[I]

You just like to, you know, you like to sing. I mean, it's like when you. When you're joyful and, you know, you witness that, you know, the players out there playing football and competing with joy, and it just makes you joyful. You want to sing. At Michigan, we had a fight song. We'd always sing the fight song after the game in the locker Room. But I don't think we have a fight song yet. So we get one. I mean we got for He's a Jolly Good Fellow.

[Pat McAfee]

I think that's probably going to be locked in as the fight song going forward, but everybody in there is doing it. My takeaway as an ex player, I think AJ's takeaway as well. And D Butch is like, we're watching this and you're doing things differently than everybody else does it, but your entire team is in and it's like very quickly it happens everywhere you go. You're a phenomenal leader. Let's talk about another guy who is seemingly a great leader that joined you over there.

[Gumpy]

Yeah. Speak about buy in. We got a chance to watch your last two games in Michigan with your defensive coordinator, Jesse Mentor. I know specifically me and AJ talking just the pre snap discipline, post snap and then to come to the NFL, back to the NFL for Jesse and yourself just to have that buy in that complete turnaround with the defense over there in la. What is it about Coach Mentor that he gets to guys on the same page? And when you watch the film, you could tell these guys absolutely love playing for each other out there.

[I]

Yeah, well, we probably, we're probably going to have to just enjoy Jesse Mentor while we have him. I mean, I got a feeling he could be a, he could be a head coach next year. We'll be competing against him. But he's, he is, I mean, like all those qualities. He's a humble warrior. I mean his picture could be right up there next to it and a jackhammer. But you know, I'm about to go into a meeting with Jesse and it's going to be, we played, we played this, we played. And then he's going to want, well, we can get better at this. You know, we had, we had, we had this many missed tackles and we had, you know, we had the two defensive offsides penalties back to back and he's, he's always, he's always, you know, more is more for Jesse, but it's a, he's just intuitive. The, he knows what an offense, he knows offensive football, you know, almost as well as defensive football. He knows how an offense is going to, going to try to attack. There's some play callers that just have it too. You know, he has it in every way. You know, this is, you know, maybe if there's a, something to pat myself on the back of. Yeah, I mean I could, I could see that just, just Jesse Mentor is, is special. We got any kind of, we got Any kind of, you know, we got a defensive coordinator role. This is who I. We have to have. We need, you know, and get, get a guy like Jesse Minner hired. And then he's so humble, too. I mean, he, he's given the credit to the other coaches that are on the staff. And he works so good. I mean, taking input, collaborative, I think people call it these days, just pulls good out of everybody around him. And yeah, I couldn't say enough good things, but keep it going. Jesse doing an incredible job. And I'm sure that, I mean, let me be the first to say it. And you know, he's going to be a head coach in the National Football League, you know, next year. And if I'm not the first to say it, then I'll add to the choir of voices. But, you know, I've got the eye too. You know, my dad's a coach, my brother's a coach. I got two uncles that are coaches, got a brother in law who's a coach. I mean, it's like my cousin Vinny, you know, we got.

[Pat McAfee]

You could be a lawyer. Yeah, you could be a lawyer if you had to.

[I]

Everybody, yeah, everybody's a mechanic. But yeah, he's. He's a great coach.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Congrats to Jesse being a head coach somewhere and also listening to the sorrow in your voice while you're saying, yeah, he's good, he's great. Our team buy in. We're fantastic.

[I]

Enjoy why you got him.

[Pat McAfee]

That's the modern world that we're in. But you talk about a lot of humble warriors here. Last question for you from Ty Schmidt.

[Evan]

Yeah, Coach. I think, you know, you mentioned Herbert and just being like the consummate competitor that he is, but I think up until you got there, he was kind of more of a silent assassin, at least from the outside looking in. We never really saw too much emotion or anything like that from him. But this year you can tell, like, he's really getting jacked up on the sidelines, showing emotion. We saw he's speaking to the team in the locker room after the game. Do you think your personality and just how you are kind of unlocked something in him that was always there and it just took a guy like you to bring him out or how have you seen that process of him being more of a vocal leader than he ever has been?

[I]

Definitely wasn't me because he's been that way since day one of when I got here. I mean, it's. He's a fierce competitor. The way he works. I mean, that's no, but nobody. Nobody works harder. Nobody works smarter than Justin. I mean, it's everything he does. I mean, some guys, you know, come in disheveled for a meeting or two. You know, maybe they overslept. You know, never with him. It's like he's here two, three hours before the meeting starts. It's, you know, attentive, takes incredible notes. And then the other one, it's like, never complacent. You hear the story of people that when they. When they make a lot of money or they get a lot of money or come into money or whatever money makes, keep people complacent. Not Justin.

[Pat McAfee]

Herbert makes his hair great, too. He's growing that back. Yeah, he's got the good maneuver going. Yeah. They say it's hard to wake up and go to work sometimes when you're sleeping on satin sheets. It seems like everything Herbert's doing is only getting better and tougher and stronger. And after the. In the locker room, when it was his time to talk, he said so much to say, so little time. Let's go ahead and move forward. It's like. Got great personality. Yeah. Talks his. Feels like you are creating an environment that anybody would want to play in that loves football. We appreciate the hell out of you, Coach. Well, they're all welcome, competitors, welcome, humble warriors everywhere. Gotta go to work, though. What you call your gym and all you can eat buffet whenever you got there.

[I]

Yeah, the weight room. That's an all you can eat buffet.

[Pat McAfee]

You still in there eating or no?

[I]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

J.J. told us that you were plugging in wires for the interview for CBS because they had to add a couple things. Is that accurate?

[I]

What'd he say?

[Pat McAfee]

He said you were plugging in cords. Something had happened. You got like a. Whenever they said, oh, yeah, we had.

[I]

To cut a little drag. You know, the. When they. There was. There was a. They were trying to secure a riser, and me and Coach Herb said we got that. You know, just plop it down. We know how to sit on a chair with a riser. We don't have to. We don't have to anchor it into the cement.

[Pat McAfee]

Ah, you're the best.

[I]

You know how to use one of those, you know, cranks and.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, yeah, we know how to. I don't.

[I]

Well, he knows how to do that. I know how to wedge things. You know, the power of the wedge.

[Pat McAfee]

The power of Harbaugh.

[I]

Wedge it in there. You make it make a good foundation.

[Pat McAfee]

You're the best. Ladies and gentlemen, head coach of the Chargers. Good luck. The Rest of the way. Thank you for your time. Jim Harbaugh. Appreciate it.

[Evan]

Thank you.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you.

[Ty Schmidt]

The best doesn't get better than that.

[Pat McAfee]

How great would it be to play for that guy?

[Gumpy]

Steve, how could you not buy in.

[Pat McAfee]

Every morning he's there waiting on you. Hey, we got some good food today. Did you see the new. Got new eggs. Try new eggs. Eggs are good. Good protein, good protein. What do you think? And then he. Somebody says something and they say like this. He goes, oh, I'm going to keep that. That's a genius. That's what. Did you hear what he just said? He just. And then like every. It's just like when you're talking about creating a culture, it's like he is boots on the ground, hands on deck. Deck. Not dick. Hands on deck. We are talking to everybody. We are lifting everything. It's like, no wonder it works. Yeah, no wonder it works everywhere. Literally.

[Gumpy]

And it's a special on Amazon, I believe. I watched it a few months back and it's about a team. A few years ago, he was coaching Michigan team. Wasn't. Wasn't great. Wasn't one of the like, playoff for national championship teams. But you could just tell, like, he took the team over to like, a lot of people giving him shit about that. And you just watch the behind the scenes of how he is really day to day with as far as team building and coach building. It's no wonder why he builds winners everywhere he goes. And it's like, it's not fake. You know what I mean? He's quirky, he's different, but he's real. Every day he's going to show up. And obviously in the National Football League, you need a quarterback. And Justin Herbert was that guy from the first time I saw him play, literally. You know, it's not that hard to make me a fan, but made me real fan of the Chargers. And you hear him talk about Herbert. I've never heard a coach talk about their quarterback. Like, Jim, he's inhuman.

[Pat McAfee]

He's our guardian of victory.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

He is half man, half beast. He is a golden. He is. And everybody knows. Everybody knows. We got to protect him. Okay. Khalil Mack knows. I know you talk. Everybody knows.

[Ty Schmidt]

Not a gene in my body I.

[Pat McAfee]

Wouldn'T trade with just Herbert. And then he's talking about how tough Justin Herbert is and how that radiates and oozes through the rest of the team. And then we got what we got going on in India. Let's get to a break. That's all I Thought of when I was talking, I'm like, they sucked for a long time. Yeah. They couldn't win the games. We're talking about the Chiefs and the Lions, all these people winning these games. That's been. That's been the Chargers. Heartbreakers.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

Heartbreak. 100%. Can't get right. Can't get. For some reason, not gonna win. We're gonna mismanage some situation. There's gonna be some up and we're gonna lose the game. And then Harbaugh gets in there. And I think we were one of the. I don't know how many people were. Let's assume everybody was. I don't like saying we're the only ones because we probably weren't the only ones. But as soon as we get there, we're like, they're going Super Bowl. Yeah, they're going Super Bowl. That's literally how we feel about Jim Harbaugh. And I think it is because he does things differently. And it's like, if you want different results, you might need to have different techniques. And Jim Harbaugh, the way he goes about doing what he does, I don't know anybody that operates the way he does. You're talking about having the success that he had in college. And then he's like, I need to get Super Bowl. I need. I need to get Super. My dad was a coach, my brother's a coach, My brother in law's a coach, My two uncles are a coach. It's like, I need. I need to do it. And he is all in.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

All the time in the A.J.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He said. I wait. I believe he said, it's a joyful endeavor. He's like, we don't. You don't have to be. It doesn't have to be a grind. And what do we hear from most people? Oh, you know, the season's a grind. You know, day in and day out. Here we go. And he's like, no. Like, it doesn't. It doesn't have to be that way. I'm like, okay, yeah, you're right, it doesn't, I guess.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. You know how the season is bit repetitive and he's like, we get another Wednesday, you mean? Yeah, it is going to be the same exact Wednesday as last Wednesday. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Thank God.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my God. That means we've already done it. Think about it. We already know what's coming. You ever see Groundhog's Day with Bill Murray? You ever see that? So, like, the fifth time he did Groundhogs Day, he knew what was coming. It was a Lot better. He gets kind of prepared for it. That's what we get to do on this particular Wednesday in the middle of the season. Oh, my God. And then think about next Wednesday, week 11, week 12, we're going to know even more about Wednesdays than we did. Like, that is such a. And then he said everything that happens as long as the person. Person exudes greatness. Talk about this tomorrow. Team meeting for sure. Look at that grass cutter over there.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Cannot wait to talk about the lines and the attention to detail right here on this grass cutter. It's like, that is not normal. Obviously. What a weapon it would be to have that around just throughout life. Like every day, somebody being like, nah, this doesn't suck. Actually look around. Huh? Think about how bad this could be. And then pointing out the positive. People gravitate to him.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

That J.J. watt meeting or interview with all five guys instead of just one on one. Like, you could tell they were all very excited when he was speaking about what the was about to come out next. And they all had massive respect for him, which I love. I'm so happy for him.

[Evan]

For a guy that successful, too, like, his willingness to evolve because he does, like, you know, I mean, football aspect and like, the coaching is probably pretty simple. Similar. But, like, that's not the exact same guy who was coaching the 49ers. You know what I mean? Like, I think he took everything when that kind of went sour towards the end and was like, okay, if I get another opportunity to do this after going to Michigan, like, he doesn't seem like the same guy.

[Pat McAfee]

Congrats. Chargers. Took him a while. Yeah. You know, Took him a while.

[Ty Schmidt]

I got it.

[Evan]

Largely the same roster, too.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And he said he knew. Yeah. Yeah. I love football. These guys love it. What do you say?

[Gumpy]

A lot.

[Pat McAfee]

There's a lot. A lot of good shit. Yeah. Aj did you hear about the Colts? They don't work hard.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I did hear that. That's a bit concerning.

[Pat McAfee]

If this goes in. It was not meant.

[Evan]

To say. He's pretty clear.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Kenny responded. He.

[Pat McAfee]

That's not true.

[Ty Schmidt]

He doubled down.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, no. He didn't double down.

[Ty Schmidt]

No. He tweeted and he didn't say, like, I didn't mean it.

[Pat McAfee]

Leader of this team.

[Ty Schmidt]

I got to do better. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Kenny, you've done everything you can. I don't know about behind the scenes, I guess.

[Ty Schmidt]

Sad. Looks like we're not getting two Super Bowls this Ducky.

[Pat McAfee]

We got time. See what happened to the Texans. We're still in it.

[Ty Schmidt]

We can flip switch, turn around, we get the Texans.

[Pat McAfee]

Do you see what happened to the Texans? Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Against the best team in the NFL. Yeah, saw.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, they lost. Okay, so what? We played somebody at the top of the NFC and got killed in top of the AFC and got murdered. So what?

[Evan]

Well, and who knows? You end up getting into the playoffs, maybe you gotta go to Buffalo and things are different next time.

[Darius Butler]

Or a kc no, but if you.

[Pat McAfee]

Win a playoff game, if you win division, you get a home playoff game.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. They're basically in Buffalo yesterday.

[Evan]

Well, that's a good point.

[Pat McAfee]

The winner. I understand because the window was open.

[Ty Schmidt]

And talking about the noise, it did.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Sound a lot like. From what I saw, it did seem pretty Buffalo heavy crowd.

[Pat McAfee]

There's a lot of Buffalonians, brother. Okay. And socio was Romano sidelines, so, you know, anytime his head is radiating through. And Eric Wood was there, obviously. Class of 09.

[Gumpy]

Yeah. Big east boy.

[Pat McAfee]

Big. Absolutely. Louisville dog. He was there.

[Darius Butler]

And you guys should have handed out blue towels to drown out the Bills.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, they're blue too. Speaking of, Brandon Bean had a sick.

[Evan]

Blue suit on, I bet.

[Pat McAfee]

With some custom blue Nikes. He looked custom. He looked clean. He walked over, I gotta say hello to him. I'm like, this guy looks way too good, way too comfortable right now. He was excited. They were banged up at a wide receiver too. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah, very.

[Pat McAfee]

They're banged up.

[Ty Schmidt]

I saw people say it's only called the LOD house cuz other fans pack it out and start chewing. That's why I slide.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I didn't see that.

[Pat McAfee]

I didn't see that either. And I'm going to refuse to. There were some moments where it was quiet there.

[Evan]

Quiet house, dude.

[Gumpy]

See, the only gym come over there.

[Ty Schmidt]

Only when the Bills are on offense.

[Pat McAfee]

A couple others.

[Gumpy]

Oh, okay.

[Pat McAfee]

You're talking about yesterday.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I did not talk to Chris.

[I]

Damn.

[Ty Schmidt]

He was locked in.

[Pat McAfee]

Chris. I don't know if Chris was there. If I would have seen Chris, I think we would have.

[Gumpy]

Of course he was there.

[Ty Schmidt]

He was. I saw him.

[Gumpy]

Okay.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean, it's was Jimmy. Chris Ballard cut his hair.

[AJ Hawk]

I thought he wasn't cut his hair till Cole Swan Super Bowl.

[Pat McAfee]

Did he cut his hair? I didn't see him.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, he's wearing a sweet hat with a suit.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Jim, have a mic.

[Pat McAfee]

So there was a halftime presentation of military folks getting sworn in from all the branches. Getting sworn in.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Nice.

[Pat McAfee]

And it was obviously very cool, very emotional. And they dropped in an American flag from the sky and everything. It was very cool. But we did think there was a chance Jim Merce was going to go usa, USA on a on his microphone from the hoping. We're hoping so bad. I'm sitting there watching this.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Please start doing that.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm sitting there watching it. They're sorry I state your name. They did the entire thing and then obviously hell yeah. Good luck out there. Thank you for doing that. And I thought immediately there would be a. All right, Colts fans for the good of them and us. They need to give him a fucking open mic up. Yeah, whatever he wants, let him have it. That was an alarming statement from Kid.

[Gumpy]

Yeah, just give him a heads emotional after the game.

[Pat McAfee]

It just never stops those. It seems like it just keeps on coming with these Colts and I've tried my best to be as supportive as possible. Not really close with any of them, but I've tried to be as supportive as possible of this team because I'm in the city. I would like them to do well and I go to every fucking game. It's there all at 1 o'clock by the way. You know why?

[Ty Schmidt]

Anyways, tell you this much, it'd be.

[Pat McAfee]

Great if there was a prime time game at home that make all the season ticket holders be pretty pumped up about, you know, spending the money that they spend on the season. That would be cool. That'd be a lot of fun. I hope they're trying to make that happen.

[Gumpy]

I mean it's building.

[Pat McAfee]

I hope they're trying their best. Hope they're trying their best.

[Ty Schmidt]

Going to be real tough to go to that Lions game they lose to the jets next week.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody's just so comfortable in that building. Ar's got no shot. Like I think he has the chance but like who's telling him who's what is Kids Young has played a lot of ball and he walks into a building and you go, I don't think we're working hard. Okay, well how the this kid know that that's this is the only way, bub. The only way. You think about hardball. You think hard. You think anybody from hardball's building is ever going to be like we're not working hard. I mean it's pretty damn good point. If anybody from Andy Reid's building is going to come out, come out and say, you know, we weren't working hard, John Hardball. We weren't Nick Sirianis. Yeah. You think anybody's coming out saying we're not working hard over there in Philadelphia? Really?

[Evan]

Anyone worth a you send AR to.

[Ty Schmidt]

Pittsburgh, he might win 10 Super Bowls.

[Pat McAfee]

He has the ability, right? Koc likes him. Trade for him then. KC.

[Evan]

He might. Sam Darnold yesterday. He might.

[Gumpy]

You see why K's been so trying to butter him up a little bit.

[Pat McAfee]

We need a full re haul. Okay. We need a full re haul.

[Ty Schmidt]

Trade in the cards.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know who needs the but we need what.

[Bill Belichick]

What a.

[Pat McAfee]

What an ass beating mother Bills.

[Jim Harbaugh]

How many home games you got left?

[Ty Schmidt]

Too many.

[Pat McAfee]

Lions are in a couple weeks. It's.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That could be tough. That could get tough. Tough for real.

[Ty Schmidt]

Seriously, that jets game when there's not.

[Jim Harbaugh]

A whole lot of hope left, that's when we will be tough.

[Ty Schmidt]

Gotta beat the jets half.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Like are you there yet where you still have hope?

[Pat McAfee]

There's still hope couple. It changed a couple times throughout the game yesterday.

[Ty Schmidt]

You should have heard him at halftime. I enjoyed that. Changed plenty of time. We're gonna. We're gonna turn this thing around right now.

[Pat McAfee]

I real hope guy with the eye black in the sweet next to us was really getting me motivated.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You know he I black on this week.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

He was doing the LA floor number.

[Ty Schmidt]

Star of the show.

[Darius Butler]

Who was he rooting for?

[Pat McAfee]

He was rooting for the Colts. Loudly. I was proud of him. I was very pumped for it. They were saying a lot of things that I don't think like football IQ wise made any sense. But they were certainly invested and I appreciated that. I appreciated that. I'm not talking about the guy with the eye. I'm talking about guy knew. This guy knew. Yeah.

[Darius Butler]

He was wearing eyeball noseball.

[Pat McAfee]

This guy knew. He wanted a little bit more juice.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Most guys that know ball do wear eye black in the game.

[Ty Schmidt]

Duh. He doesn't know ball. He is ball.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Did he wear shoulder pads and a helmet?

[Pat McAfee]

If he would have. Maybe we win and maybe he needs to think about that for the Lions game because everybody's going to need to come strapped if we're going to take on MC DC's team. But man, I know they sold a bunch of tickets to Bill's mafia yesterday but I feel like Colts fans have been here for this team like legitimately. I feel like Colts fans have been here for this team. We had a 4 overall pick just two years ago. Think about that. We've been through a thousand quarterbacks since Andrew look and still every year it's like we got it. They've paid so many. There's been a lot of people on this team for a long time. Yeah, long time.

[Gumpy]

Doesn't matter if you don't get the quarterback right so you feel bad for it, right?

[Darius Butler]

Well, you're getting better.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Feel bad for.

[Ty Schmidt]

If they've been on the number team for a long time, then who's Kenny Moore talking about?

[Darius Butler]

Last year's number 15 overall pick. Maybe this year you get like, I don't know, 18th.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's get to a break. We're back on the other side. We're going to cover everything that happened in a league. I love doing that. A lot of players working hard.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

God damn right.

[Pat McAfee]

It's week 11. You still got a lot of games. Boys not to be working hard. A little bit too early for everybody. Just stop working. How comfortable do you have to be to.

[Ty Schmidt]

Not a lot of players have been there for a while. You just said it.

[Pat McAfee]

Yep.

[Ty Schmidt]

And they got paid.

[Jim Harbaugh]

It's not good to be comfortable in football ever. I don't think.

[Darius Butler]

It's not a comfortable sport.

[Evan]

And Harbaugh just said it. You know, guys get paid, they get complacent. Not Justin Herbert.

[Pat McAfee]

I'd like to say this for the state of Indiana competitors welcome. Okay.

[Ty Schmidt]

Payers welcome on the Notre Dame football at the IU football.

[Pat McAfee]

We need a pipeline from Signetti's operation.

[Darius Butler]

Pretty good.

[Ty Schmidt]

It's not bad.

[Gumpy]

First time school history, right?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

First coach ever to start 100 at two different schools in back to back seasons.

[Pat McAfee]

What are they ranked? Fifth. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

High fifth.

[AJ Hawk]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Got a Biden. They got a high state. High state. I don't know if a high state knows what these. Who, who, who, who says? All right. We're heading down to Athens, Georgia this weekend for college game day against Tennessee. Tennessee's Nico Iamaliava gets hurt this past week and Georgia loses to Ole Miss in big fashion. Heading in there. Obviously excited to see how Georgia responds to that. Should be fun. Georgia, big fans of ours, right?

[Evan]

Remember, massive fans of the show.

[Pat McAfee]

Yep. So 1520 people at the show. When we went down there. A couple more.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Couple more than that.

[Pat McAfee]

I think that was it, brother. Yeah, it was 1520, folks. Obviously David Pollock was on college game day, who I am a massive fan of. They are also massive fans. Sure. Then the SEC championship game with the whole. What's that Coming down the track thing.

[Evan]

Well, you're right.

[Pat McAfee]

I just picked the game. I just picked the game, Carl.

[Ty Schmidt]

You see.

[Darius Butler]

All right, solid.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm excited to get down there. Bulldogs see how it goes.

[Gumpy]

Yeah. Been loud for Carson back.

[Pat McAfee]

He needs to stop throwing interceptions. He does. Might need to focus on ball. I did see that on the Internet happening. He's in a relationship. He's in love. People don't like that. Jeez.

[Darius Butler]

We like love around here.

[Pat McAfee]

Speaking of love, Paul and Libby were cool.

[Darius Butler]

Great.

[Pat McAfee]

I forgot in the moment. That's on me. Livy's at LSU still. They're going for another national championship.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

She's about to win. They're about to win another one.

[Ty Schmidt]

Another one.

[Pat McAfee]

They're about to win another. Paul. Paul Skain. He looks good.

[Darius Butler]

Yeah, he looks. He looks fit.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He looks so tall.

[Pat McAfee]

Looks so tall. But he is. The issue is his ass and legs.

[Evan]

Yeah. Massive.

[Pat McAfee]

These things are tree trunks. Cake. Yeah, he's caked up. Yeah, he is caked up. I was sitting next to him, like, very close, obviously, because it was a pack desk and. Pack desk. Yeah, that's. This was huge. I'm sitting right next to him and I'm kind of jammed in and my leg accidentally hit that thing. His leg. And I like, looked over. I'm like, what the Is that. What is that thing Was like. The guy's got a barrel hanging off. It's like, oh, that's why.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's what he's throwing it 100. He's gonna throw it 105 next year.

[Pat McAfee]

I know. I tried to squeeze that in there, but I didn't want to put too much pressure on. That's why I asked him how fast you throw? He said 102 this year. I think that's Signetti football, baby. Yeah, he squeaked by Michigan. Yeah.

[Evan]

That guy closer needed something like that.

[Pat McAfee]

They didn't need. They didn't need a little battle there. God, I love that IU team. Would you fucking fathom if they go.

[Ty Schmidt]

Hopefully home game where everything stands, even if they lose to Ohio State? They should.

[Pat McAfee]

Yep. I agree. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Should still be in the playoffs, but.

[Pat McAfee]

The way Big Ten and SEC is probably going to be viewed.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

That is a real thing. Now, if they get a home playoff game, which sitting at 5 right now is telling.

[Evan]

Good.

[Pat McAfee]

One of the home seats. They need to get speakers in that stadium before that home playoff.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Bad.

[Pat McAfee]

They need speakers in there. Or move that thing to Lucas Oil.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Well, come on now. Doesn't that steal the. That steals away from the atmosphere a bit.

[Pat McAfee]

I agree that stadium is cool looking, But I think 55,000 is the biggest it can get. I think that's the most. 55,000. They're gonna. Obviously there's gonna be massive. We assume any off season there's gonna be a bunch. But if I. You. I mean it. Home playoff game on campus. You gotta do it.

[Gumpy]

Got to.

[Pat McAfee]

Gotta do it.

[Evan]

But if it was at Lucas Oil, the amount of. I mean it'd be so fucking loud in there. Like the amount of IU fans like it.

[Pat McAfee]

And it would be 75,000.

[Evan]

Exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

There'd be. And I think they would get all the. I think it's treated as a home game for them as well. So not saying they need. There's other schools that are, I think considered.

[AJ Hawk]

Feels like one game in the playoffs.

[Pat McAfee]

Is not going to be played on campus. Feels like one. At least one. It seems like the conversation because of what's possible and what teams are thinking and if hotel capabilities in some places are even possible. Like because it's. We all talked about this home field advantage, how cool it's going to be. And now I guess logistically, yeah, a lot of people are going, how cool is it? Let's. Let's see what's possible. But College Football Playoff is loud. It is getting awesome. Yeah. This weekend's elimination game just had one. Lsu. Bama. Yep. I thought LSU was going to win. What happened?

[Evan]

Dog man?

[Pat McAfee]

Unbelievable.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Try tackling that dude.

[Pat McAfee]

He's faster than you are. They. They said he's the fastest dude on the field whenever he's on the field. And then I think numerous coaches have said like if he was a running back, obviously he would be the best running back in the country. Him and Ashton Gentee would be up for the entire thing. The way they talk about the way he runs and then obviously he can spin it whenever he has to, but it's like he's unstoppable whenever he wants to be. Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You know, certainly against you debut. Can you imagine being like, think if you're playing safety and all of a sudden you have like 15 yards between you and Jalen Miller. You see he's pulling the ball down to run and he has a five way go on you and he's most likely going to run you over. Like what do you do? How do you get him down?

[Gumpy]

That's the worst. It's already tough blocking quarterbacks. You pick up that extra blocker. But him being so fast, so athletic, like, I mean it's always equalizer regardless of. And what you say, gump. They beat four top 25. Yeah. I mean that team recruits still got the guys. Obviously not Saban's not there, but you still got top of the line recruits and you got a weapon like that anywhere week, any team. Jaylen Monroe can be the best player, the most explosive player on the field. Maybe having that live Tiger wasn't the best idea. I think he Ran a little fast.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I mean, Governor Jeff Landry was going to get that tiger on the sideline. Okay. If I know anything about Governor Jeff Landry, I don't know if, if he's even thinking about the outcome of the game because of the live tiger. He's just thinking about how cool of an experience it had to be for all Louisiana hands down there. True.

[Darius Butler]

I didn't like that it was in a cage.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, I don't know if they're just going to let a tiger roam, but I understand what you're saying.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I think put them on leash.

[Darius Butler]

Yeah. Like they could have anchored it to the ground like in. Like in Glad Gladiator.

[Ty Schmidt]

Sure.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Might be a bit unsafe, but yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Did it roar? Was Saban's roar close? Would have been.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That was great. That was great.

[Pat McAfee]

Earlier. Earlier in commercial break after, I think I brought up the live tiger, Jiff Lay injury making that play happen because there were some people that disagreed with the governor, by the way. There were some people that did that. That was a little. I guess there was quite.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You can have that.

[Darius Butler]

Oh, PETA.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, PETA certainly was not happy about it, but I think there was a lot of people potentially in the state of Louisiana that didn't necessarily like, is this really. Is this really.

[Darius Butler]

They don't get ball.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, that is. I think the governor, I think governor.

[Ty Schmidt]

Did say that echoed that.

[Pat McAfee]

I believe that is what the governor said. But Coach Saban talked about. He said, you know, you talk about that tiger. He said, when I was here, they had the tiger on, on the field and he said they put a microphone over in that thing and it would roar. And it. These people would go, it.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's what I need. That's what I want to hear.

[Pat McAfee]

He said, these people go crazy. I was like, what? It will roar. What do you mean? He'd go, yeah, it would. And the place would go crazy. And I was like. So everybody obviously on set laughed and Reese, who I didn't think was paying attention attention was like, what does it sound like again? And I'm like, oh, okay. I like what Reese's doing here. Reese is talking some here, you know, and coach didn't do it. He like got refocused back in. So whenever we were up on the. Yeah. What did that. What did that sound like? You know, because he, he was very impressed by what that roar did whenever it was on the field. Last time live Tiger was on field 2015. Then they bring it back in Alabama beats her ass. I don't know. I don't know how.

[Ty Schmidt]

Wasn't the tiger's fault.

[Pat McAfee]

Fault. No, it wasn't OMAR's fault. Wasn't Mike Seven's fault. And I don't think Governor Jeff Lands are thinking it's his fault either.

[Ty Schmidt]

No, it isn't.

[Gumpy]

That environment was sick to start. I mean they obviously start clearing out.

[Ty Schmidt]

A little early, but yeah, start all the time.

[Pat McAfee]

102,000 people. And we were there. We got to be there. The traffic. Okay, this is just like up at State College. So these towns obviously college towns, small towns, but then you, the whole state embarks on the city. So it's Louisiana. I, I couldn't even. 102,000 people in that place.

[Ty Schmidt]

In that place.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't even know where do they go. I don't know how it all. It's so tight. So whenever people start filtering out, I think it's because they're like it's raining. We got an hour and a half of traffic on the way out of here. And Brian Kelly.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, that's the sentiment for sure.

[Pat McAfee]

That is. It seemed like that was going to be the case. Like, hey, Brian wins this game, they're going to love him for at least another week. Brian loses this game, boy, it's going to be Brian Kelly's fault.

[Ty Schmidt]

It's going to get loud.

[Pat McAfee]

Garrett Nussmeyer obviously got to stop turning the ball over. Jalen Milroy is insane though. And yeah, you talk about strength of schedule. Alabama, I already got a win over Georgia, got a win now over lsu. Now they lose the Vandy, which obviously is going to get held against them. Yeah. And this entire thing. And they're close. South Carolina. South Carolina, much better team I think than the record indicates. But it's like Alabama's got a real shot at this thing yet again. And this is Kaylin DeBoer's first year. And you think about the roller coaster run this has been for him as the head coach. This guy's not. He's doing things differently. He doesn't have his guys. Wait a second. See wearing a T shirt on salon. There's a lot for that. And here we are with the last few weeks at store and we're week 10's wrapping up for the NFL which is an 18 week season. So we still got two months left of NFL football which kind of conflicts my mind. Regular season of college. We're close here. Oh yeah, we are close. We're like three weeks out, four weeks out now of college. So it's like who can really separate themselves to be in the final 12 of this whole thing and then who's going to fall out. And there's some people that think the drama about who doesn't make it into this this particular year might be even louder than the 4, 5, one that happened in the past. Pass. Because a lot more teams have hope. So with a 14 playoff, there's only probably like two, three teams each year. They're like, oh, we can maybe sneak in or we could be on the bubble. Now there's like 10, 15 schools that are like on the bubble or could be in. So I think the vastness of people pissed off is going to be more than it has been in the past. AJ that's what I think is going to happen.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Because so many teams have hope right now. I think there's, there's so like multiple fan bases that are like, hey, we're in, we're going do this, we deserve to be there. And then ultimately everybody can't make it.

[Pat McAfee]

So you're telling me Boise State's, you know, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's what you do. You just tear down all the other programs that get in and pump yourself.

[Pat McAfee]

Up like the Big 12. Whoever ends up making it out of the Big 12, the amount of terrible things that people in EFCC and the Big Ten are going to say about.

[Ty Schmidt]

Them, kill the big.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh my God. Oh, my God. Now West Virginia still has a chance. Okay. Western, he still has still in it, technically, mathematically, still have an opportunity.

[Darius Butler]

Actually, I think if they were to win the Big 12, a Big 12 team wouldn't get in.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, every champion gets in.

[Evan]

Come on.

[Pat McAfee]

And the P4, which is what the Big 12 is, and people are think.

[Darius Butler]

It'S just the highest five ranked conference champions. So they might not be ranked higher than, you know, say Boise and Army. If army wins.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, so that's two different group of five champions you're saying are getting in over one, the Power four. That'd be interesting. That would certainly be interesting thing. But yeah, BYU is a wagon. Don't ever forget it. Big win over Utah. U2's he came out and said, oh, wow, that was one. I believe I loved it before.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That doesn't happen. That doesn't happen too much, does it?

[Pat McAfee]

Especially because he's going to have to go meet with these people like, you know, the ad's got to go. Yeah, he's actually got a first year.

[Evan]

In the conference and I thought I was going to happy we were joining the Big 12. Well, I'm not. This place sucks.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, sir, you'll get a $40,000 fine. And you cannot say that. It's like the Utah fans are happy he said it.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, I talked about it on game day. It was my big takeaway from the game. Call me a super genius, but it's like, in these rivalry games, especially if something's called a holy war, you can win your first four, lose your last six. You win that game, who cares? Literally, you at least have something. Something going into the off season. So for them to lose in that fashion, with the way the years go. And the ad was like, Nope. Yeah, this sucks. I'm going 2:00am Congrats to BYU.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Big win.

[Pat McAfee]

Big win. Puka Nakua. Austin Cauley. Ryan Smith. Kyle Van Noy.

[Evan]

Sweet boy.

[Pat McAfee]

Who? Kyle Van Noy.

[Ty Schmidt]

Zach Wilson.

[Evan]

Zach Wilson.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, okay. Isaac Wilson, actually on the other car.

[Ty Schmidt]

Van Noy, also the sweet boy.

[Pat McAfee]

Leading the Ravens defense in sacks. Yeah. He's an old boy. He is dog.

[Ty Schmidt]

Seasoned boy.

[Darius Butler]

New tricks.

[Ty Schmidt]

Same dog.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, boy. Let's get to a break. All right. We gotta make our picks. We got our overreactions. Any other story lines we didn't hit? I feel like we hit everything.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Now we're at the Vikings. Vikings.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Close one. Holy.

[Ty Schmidt]

Talk time about teams being bad teams. Who care. Who cares?

[Pat McAfee]

That was like the Panthers. Giants. I was watching it and then I was like, why the. Am I doing this? Yeah. Why am I?

[Ty Schmidt]

We're at that point in the season now in the NFL where it's like, okay, we know clearly where the split is as far as, like, teams that.

[Pat McAfee]

Matter and teams from the Colts and up.

[Ty Schmidt]

No.

[Jim Harbaugh]

How many two win teams are there right now?

[Gumpy]

No, they didn't make. Colts didn't make.

[Ty Schmidt]

Colts are not one of those. Got some bad news about Sam Darnold, too.

[Pat McAfee]

What?

[Ty Schmidt]

I don't think he's making it either.

[Pat McAfee]

What? Lions?

[Gumpy]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Good. Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Texans? I don't know. Yeah. Somebody has to throw the AFC South. Who do you think it's going to be?

[Ty Schmidt]

Definitely the Texans.

[Evan]

Texansville, maybe. Come on strong.

[Ty Schmidt]

It's not definitely the Texas.

[Pat McAfee]

Steelers. Yep. Yeah. Commanders.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

49Ers. Bucks. Bucks are four and six right now. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Two bane dope Broncos. They might right on the edge.

[Pat McAfee]

Chiefs, Obviously. Falcons.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Saints?

[Gumpy]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

Jacks. No.

[Gumpy]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

Cardinals?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Bills. Colts. Yes. Titans? No. Chargers? Yes. Eagles?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Cowboys. Going to be talked about, though, especially because that podcast coming out via Bleach Report. Yep. Let me bury my coach and then hear what I have to say on my podcast. Brought to you by Bleacher Report.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Good tease.

[Pat McAfee]

How about the end of that? Everybody's talking about the first thing he said. It's like the last thing he said was the most. I feel bad. Bad for the guys that actually do not Fats.

[Ty Schmidt]

That was wild.

[Pat McAfee]

That was a wild ending. Like, I thought the first one, the front of the clip taken out of context.

[Darius Butler]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, sure. Like, yeah, coaches can go coach. Like, that's true. I understand the perspective there. But then when he circles it back at the end, like, I care about those guys because they actually do stuff.

[Ty Schmidt]

Put more work in than Mike.

[Pat McAfee]

It's like, Damn, big Mike McCartney. I think he's lost some people in there if they're even going to say that. Vikings, yes. Jags, no. Patriots, no.

[Gumpy]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

Bears, no. Giants, no. Panthers, no. All right, so we do. Got some from the Colts and up. Speaking of the Colts, Adam Schefter just tweeted that Joe Flacco will be the starter. Joe Fl. Will. Yeah, he will. Will. He will.

[Ty Schmidt]

So he will.

[Pat McAfee]

Who will what?

[Ty Schmidt]

Chef?

[Pat McAfee]

Joe will. Who kills Joe will. Will. Oh, Joe will.

[Ty Schmidt]

No one else works but Joe will.

[Pat McAfee]

We wanted a couple other guys, but I guess Joe will. That's kind of what that is. I don't like that playoff game.

[Evan]

That's a revenge game, though.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Because he was on the Jets.

[Evan]

He was.

[Pat McAfee]

And if we win this, okay, you look at his final four games after the bye week we got.

[Jim Harbaugh]

There is hope. There is hope. For real.

[Ty Schmidt]

No, there isn't.

[Pat McAfee]

If these guys figure out how to be professionals, you're. We can do it.

[Ty Schmidt]

Week 11.

[Pat McAfee]

We can do it.

[Ty Schmidt]

You're right. Week 11 is week 11. You guys always said, like, that's when people start working, right?

[Pat McAfee]

When they learn to be turned on.

[Ty Schmidt]

Like, all right, you know, we should work now.

[Gumpy]

It's when the separation.

[Pat McAfee]

Yes, that's right. And we're gonna separate from what we used to be like, for the last few years. Oil and water. And we're gonna be the brand new Colts.

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean, we should pull up their schedule and really do this right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay. We can. We got it.

[Ty Schmidt]

Jets.

[Pat McAfee]

Lions by win. Win, win, win, win, win. That's what the Colts have.

[Evan]

Broncos might be.

[Pat McAfee]

Sorry.

[Ty Schmidt]

At Broncos.

[Pat McAfee]

Jets. Wait.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Week 14's not going to be a loss. At least. Good there.

[Pat McAfee]

Shut up, A.J.

[Darius Butler]

I think you get sick.

[Gumpy]

Maybe a loss.

[Pat McAfee]

Lions.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Honestly, it sets up good for me. It really does.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Jim Harbaugh]

For real.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you. Those last five brother still.

[AJ Hawk]

Still seven and three.

[Pat McAfee]

Ats. I mean, you know, still covering.

[Gumpy]

Yeah. I would assume. Shane Sticks with Joe since he made the decision up until the buy. Depending on what's happening at the buy, you probably go back to AR if the season's done. I thought a chance.

[Pat McAfee]

I thought about this as well. You bench AR after the situation, after the whole thing. He tapped out. First quarterback ever in the history of the NFL to do that while being healthy. That cannot go understated. But what's going on in the building? Why does he even think that's okay?

[Ty Schmidt]

Well, it doesn't matter.

[Pat McAfee]

It'll work out anyways. He. He goes out Vikings, Bills, jets, defense, Lions. No, but I'm saying. But you go Vikings, Bills, Lions, then it three out of those four. That is not a fun even Patriots.

[Ty Schmidt]

I know.

[Evan]

I was going to say yesterday.

[Ty Schmidt]

I know the Pats look like a cupcake now, but they do play on defense.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I'm talking about defensive side. Yeah, yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Talking about their defense.

[Pat McAfee]

So whenever you think about the AR like benching situation, it's like came at a time of the sit a season when it's like we got kind of a murderer's row coming up on defenses here, you know, And Joe Flack obviously didn't play great yesterday against the Bills, but like AR just goes out there with how that whole thing was rolling. What happens there? Who knows? So after the buy, he comes in 4, 0 going in the off season. Oh, look out. We're on top of the world. Don't fire anybody.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, we think, we think Broncos aren't a good defense.

[Pat McAfee]

No, we gotta figure it out. We gotta buy a week to figure it out. We'll be preparing for them for two weeks. That's another revenge game for Joe.

[AJ Hawk]

Remember they shipped him out because he said he had a sore neck.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah. That was first time he really became like an. An outdoor conversation, outside conversation leader. We need to figure some things out. This. We need to do this. We need to do this. Hey, Joe. Yeah. Shut the up. You're benched, ir. See you never get out of here. What's that for?

[Darius Butler]

All this when we were promised 2. Two Super Bowls this century or decade.

[Pat McAfee]

Geez.

[Ty Schmidt]

This century doesn't even sound realistic.

[Darius Butler]

It wasn't for snowboarding.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, we'll get to a break. We'll be back on the other side. We'll. We'll do some over reactions.

[Evan]

You never know. Maybe Flacco goes in there today and he's like, hey, yo, quit lollygagging.

[Ty Schmidt]

Let's go.

[Evan]

And then everything like. And they come out like gangbusters.

[Ty Schmidt]

Dragon ass.

[Pat McAfee]

They could.

[Evan]

Hey, the grass isn't always greener.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's go.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Unique accent.

[Ty Schmidt]

Jets. They're gonna lose to the Jets. Without a doubt.

[Pat McAfee]

They're dogs.

[AJ Hawk]

They are dogs.

[Ty Schmidt]

There is no doubt in my mind.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, man.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's what Kenny Moore is saying. Not even a question.

[Pat McAfee]

Those who are the keepers of the culture jersey right now need to have a good look in the mirror.

[Ty Schmidt]

They did. They took the jersey off and put their Cabo T shirts on. They said, I can't wait for this to be the look in the mirror.

[Pat McAfee]

That's what I'm saying.

[Gumpy]

They didn't do that.

[Ty Schmidt]

You sure?

[Pat McAfee]

Just think about what our team looks like a regular basis. Just think about it. Just think about it.

[Gumpy]

I mean, I salute you guys who just sit and fight it out with one team. That's commendable.

[Pat McAfee]

It is, isn't it?

[Darius Butler]

Breaking of how the Hurricane do is what you get.

[Pat McAfee]

Still still lined up for the ACC championship. What are you grinning about? Yeah. Why are you looking back here like an.

[Darius Butler]

He's on his one team high horse Hurricanes fan his entire life.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I have.

[AJ Hawk]

What do you want from me?

[Pat McAfee]

Football in Miami. He said. I asked him this the other day. I said, how we just. Dolphins. We're just doing it. Yeah. Football all in.

[AJ Hawk]

What do you want?

[Ty Schmidt]

Do you want to bring up the number?

[Pat McAfee]

What's that?

[Ty Schmidt]

Do you want to bring up the Miami stat that you have for this?

[AJ Hawk]

11 for everybody.

[Pat McAfee]

Florida.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Florida stat.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Inner Miami also.

[Darius Butler]

I'm sorry. Gum. She didn't deserve it.

[AJ Hawk]

That's okay.

[Pat McAfee]

Inter Miami loses. Yeah. The MLS season's over, everybody.

[Evan]

I was gonna say they should cancel the rest.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah, it's cooked.

[Ty Schmidt]

Don't worry.

[Pat McAfee]

It's been canceled for Cincinnati's out as well.

[AJ Hawk]

Two of the two best teams.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean, Messi was playing and we definitely knew about it. Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Wait, didn't Messi push the goalie into the net or his buddy did.

[Pat McAfee]

His buddy did.

[Evan]

That was awesome.

[AJ Hawk]

He's an American legend.

[Pat McAfee]

Brad Gazan the boat had a guy has been on the U.S. men's National Team before. He is a legend. Obviously they give up ahead or two. Methy boom. Perfectly timed. Methy trying to get the ball quickly so he can go ahead and score another goal. You know, Classic move. Guzman, who is. Has a little sauce to him, you know, turns into. There's a moment. Whoa. Dramatic. Here we go. And then somebody said, you're going to touch Messi. You think? Okay. Almost threw his own net. Yeah. And then he gets out. Whoa. What is this? More classic Methy Too. I don't know if you saw. He's just jogging by. He doesn't even know what's happening.

[Jim Harbaugh]

No idea.

[Pat McAfee]

That's what it's supposed to be like for a superstar.

[Gumpy]

Hell, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

That's like Bozeman with Herbert. We like that type of stuff.

[Jim Harbaugh]

It's like everybody with Sid.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's get to a break. They suck too. Big game tonight against Texas Hockey. Did a pen suck? They beat the Caps on Friday. That was a big one. Okay, look at.

[Darius Butler]

Still got their number.

[Gumpy]

Cat still cooking, wearing robes. And we're so good.

[Pat McAfee]

The Panthers.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Who's good in hockey? Because basketball, everybody sucks but the Celtics, right on the.

[Ty Schmidt]

In the east. The west has a bunch of good teams.

[Pat McAfee]

I saw the Pacers just beat the hell out of the Knicks. Welcome. Dog walk to Indianapolis, bub.

[Ty Schmidt]

Tyrese is back.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. 35 and 12 or 14 or something like that. 14. Yeah, 35, 14. That baby. Tyrese. Way to represent, Tyrese. That was yesterday after the Colts game. City needed something.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, bad.

[Pat McAfee]

Him and Matheran won. For What? He went for 38 or something like that.

[Darius Butler]

The Cavs are 110 in the East.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Who? Cleveland.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Spider been playing real well.

[Pat McAfee]

Spider Mitchell.

[Ty Schmidt]

It'll last for sure.

[Darius Butler]

Sons are good, but KD's out for a couple weeks.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's get to a break on the other side. We'll do over reactions and we'll pick our winners. How do we do this weekend? How do we do this weekend? I didn't see the.

[Ty Schmidt]

I have no idea.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't think I did good.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I don't know if I won a game.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, there's some games I thought I did.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, okay. I won four.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, got sworn in.

Sworn in. There it is. Oh, it was interesting from the, obviously the Air Force and the Navy and the army and the National Guard and Space Force was the last one. And everybody that heard Space Force was like, oh, okay, all right.

[Ty Schmidt]

Got a brain.

[Pat McAfee]

And then you're. They're all in lines, you know, they were all standing in lines. So I didn't know if that meant they were all in like. Is this the marines here? Is this the, is this a group? How are they kind of scattered through route? Because I was trying to see the size of the Space Force. Probably gotta be a little smaller, right? Space Force probably gotta be a little smaller for the travel.

[Darius Butler]

I'm not sure, honestly, the armies were going up against up there yet.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, and what do we. Are they signing up for frontline of Space Force? Like I want to be frontline. Fucking send me. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Are they, Are they, Is that, how's that work?

Just in case. You never know. And if you do, isn't that important?

[Ty Schmidt]

I mean.

[Pat McAfee]

All right.

[Ty Schmidt]

If. If.

[Pat McAfee]

All right.

[Ty Schmidt]

The commies go up there first. You want them to be first.

[Gumpy]

Whatever's up there, we ain't winning.

[Pat McAfee]

What? That's what I'm talking about.

[Darius Butler]

I understand.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. We ain't watch how many Super Bowls any of these aliens got? None. None. How many SEC championships these aliens got?

[Ty Schmidt]

None.

[Pat McAfee]

We put them right here. Oklahoma drill. Guess who's winning? Leverage. Every single time.

[Gumpy]

We've been playing football for 150 year. We can't trot out 15 good quarterbacks every Sunday. You think we're beating the.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, you think they're gonna beat us in football? You think the aliens are gonna beat us in football? I don't think so. That's a good question, though. How come every 30, every NFL team doesn't have a good quarterback? With how long we've been playing, it.

[Gumpy]

Should have three also.

[Ty Schmidt]

150 years. That's probably how old their kids are.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. If aliens had played football for how many years would that take for them to get better?

[Darius Butler]

We don't know.

[Ty Schmidt]

They probably don't play sports either. They. They play one game.

[Evan]

They could be though.

[Pat McAfee]

No, they don't just. They want to play sports.

[Ty Schmidt]

That's conquest. And conquest are.

[Jim Harbaugh]

They're not competitors. They're not.

[Pat McAfee]

They're not like the actual Vikings. That's not what they're coming to town to do.

[Ty Schmidt]

They complete. They compete for.

[Darius Butler]

They might not be competitors, but they are just absolute killing machines.

[Pat McAfee]

I would. I would like for us, our show, to be able to speak to them. You know, we had opportunities to speak to both presidential candidates and we turned down both because we don't like to get into that whole thing, but definitely would like to be on the list of shows that get to talk to the extraterrestrials.

[Jim Harbaugh]

They speak English or we have to use interpreter.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, they better speak my language. Okay, let's just. Just hope you can't learn my language. Okay, right off the bat, already a dip. I understand that. Okay, now how do we gotta. You're supposed to be so smart, you can't even understand what I'm saying. Who's the smart one? I'm not gonna. Obviously I will start this thing with a, you know. Wow, look how handsome.

[Darius Butler]

Maybe a high five.

[Pat McAfee]

Probably a High five gesture for them. Yeah. Well, I was. I will quickly explain about. This is a celebratory. This is a show them the hard box how you feeling feeling moment. That's how we view it. And then what if they're like, well, this is how we say hello and it smacks right in the mouth.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm like, wow, I don't like the way you guys do. You guys should do what we do instead of.

[Evan]

Yeah, no, because then you could like as like a. You could smack him right back in the mouth.

[Pat McAfee]

And I was front row for that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'll probably give a home. You ever seen one of these? Yeah, exactly. Two. Never seen. Very respectful. Palman. I'm palman.

[Evan]

Oh yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Paulman. Right to the jaw. Definitely. Then I have to go to the judges.

[Evan]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

What? But nonetheless, at least we're having some interactions.

[Evan]

That's right.

[Pat McAfee]

I hope we're having some interactions. One thing will lead to another and I'll ask them about their three point stance. They won't have one. Then I'm going to make them feel like they're the basest us True. And then all of a sudden I'm rolling out. I'm rolling out. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kel policy. They're gonna go two on two with these things. We're gonna make them look so stupid. Okay. Aaron. Donald. We're pulling him out of retirement. We're saying go ahead and line up with this guy and we're rolling and life is good. That's why we need a space force. That's why we need a space force. I also think space force. There's a lot of like dishes and stuff, satellites that are floating around in space so much and I think the ability to have those or not have those spray power powerful from what I've been told.

[Gumpy]

I agree.

[Pat McAfee]

So from what. From what the Internet is told, a.

[Ty Schmidt]

Lot of Starlink right now.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I think there's a lot going on at that. Those layers there.

[Ty Schmidt]

You know there's layers of those things like an onion.

[Pat McAfee]

So I think we would like to have say in those stuff, I think because if not then we're just kind of.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Who could say.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Starlink's just taking it.

[Darius Butler]

It's international waters to be clear.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Is it considered like international waters up there?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. How's that work? So I can gamble. So so.

[Darius Butler]

Have you not seen the Martian?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Is it like 7 miles? What is it how far 7 miles from the coast? Is it usually international or 3 miles or something?

[Pat McAfee]

Didn't old buddy who did the Red Bull thing? Who passed out? He was up. Felix.

[Evan]

Bomb garden.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, he was up there, but he was.

[Evan]

He was at the edge of the stratosphere.

[Pat McAfee]

But he passed out. Right? Big time. And they were like. He. He almost had. He fell out as opposed to jumped out.

[Evan]

And he was just tumbling in circles. And then he came to all the sudden and.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, I did it. I had to have done it. Yeah.

[Darius Butler]

12 miles international waters.

[Pat McAfee]

12 miles. 12 for talking actual oceans?

[Evan]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, so not space. Did you look up about space?

[Darius Butler]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Breaking news. In 1967, there was an outer space treaty that was signed in Space Force fights to protect that. Okay. That's what Space Force is doing.

[Gumpy]

Thank you, Space Force.

[Pat McAfee]

Who do we sign a treaty with?

[Evan]

Nobody.

[Pat McAfee]

We own outer space.

[Evan]

I don't think we walk space race. Okay, so you take this and throw it away.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm gonna let everybody know if you're in a space Force. I'm still very appreciative of your service. We don't know what you're doing, but we hope you figure it out.

[Gumpy]

Me too.

[Ty Schmidt]

I bet every country that's on Antarctica also is on that space race treaty.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yeah. Because there's a lot of conversation up there about stuff.

[Ty Schmidt]

No doubt.

[Darius Butler]

This just says that everything in space is considered international waters, and no country can claim land in space, so it's kind of lawless.

[Ty Schmidt]

So AI wrong again.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Darius Butler]

Which one is that?

[Pat McAfee]

That one outer space treaty, I think was just. Everybody was agreeing to just do her.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Is it like when people bought Meta, you bought, like, land in meta, you pay 400k for a lot.

[Pat McAfee]

Do you remember that? Cash grab.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

What happened to that?

[Pat McAfee]

Now did that get pitched to us? I don't remember if it got pitched something.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I'm sure it did.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm sure there's so many times where there was just, like, random money that was just pitched. It was like, got an idea. We got 2 million for you. All you got to do is this coin or this real estate that is next to this real estate in virtual reality. Yeah, yeah, but in what virtual reality? All virtual reality. I don't know if I'm smart enough to understand this. Can you break this down to me? So you put on a headset, you go into virtual reality. There's real estate in there. Your real estate is next to this real estate. How much real estate is a only finite amount. That doesn't sound real because can't you just build more? No, no.

[Evan]

You remember the NFL top shot guy?

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, my God.

[Darius Butler]

You remember those videos People were, oh.

[Pat McAfee]

My God, the gifts.

[Darius Butler]

Just normal videos.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, gifts and videos were. I'm sure they still matter.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You opened some. You opened some on the show, I believe, right where we got to open some things.

[Pat McAfee]

I got a Zion dunk. How much is that?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Not even in the moment. I didn't completely understand what we were doing there.

[Pat McAfee]

Do you remember when the guy came on the show to tell us how dumb we were for not understanding it?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah, I. I am still that dumb, because I'm still confused.

[Evan]

And he said, you were the only one who would own it when you had that. And you were like, well, what if I just, like, rip a clip off the Internet and had it? And he was like, take a screenshot on his brain, like, exploded, pretty much.

[Pat McAfee]

He hadn't really.

[Evan]

He hadn't really considered that.

[Pat McAfee]

Is it just a video? Is it just a video? Don't we all kind of have it?

[Gumpy]

No, no, it's your blockchain.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, then they said, yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Blockchain, Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Then they said, yeah, Each individual thing had built its own. Oh, monkeys.

[Gumpy]

Like, people were paying, like, 40, 50 grand. Just had, like, a monkey as there.

[Ty Schmidt]

The ape.

[Gumpy]

Yep. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

It's still going, I think, isn't it? There's still people I see every once in a while that'll tweet me.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That'll have v. Friends are killing it, Right?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Well, Gary Vmon, certainly.

[Evan]

That's tangible, though. It's an actual card.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

And you can play games with it.

[Pat McAfee]

39 bucks. These top shots are now at the high end. It looks like these prices look different.

[Jim Harbaugh]

So these are. These are gifts or memes. What are they?

[Pat McAfee]

435 bucks. I don't know. Give me that one, though. I need it. I want it. Zion Williamson not playing right now. I don't think. Ready.

[Evan]

He's out for a couple weeks.

[Pat McAfee]

He'll be back better than ever.

[Gumpy]

Hamstring.

[Pat McAfee]

Those are wild times to be alive, though.

[Gumpy]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Those were wild times to be alive. Feels like a lot of people were like, we'll take it. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

I love this idea.

[Pat McAfee]

How many millions am I good? Got it. That doesn't sound real. I love it even more. Yeah.

[Evan]

Give me.

[Pat McAfee]

Bitcoin's going, though, huh?

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

283 grand.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Do you see that? I didn't. I didn't expect that to happen. It feels like everything that was wild because there's, like, real worry that is everything gonna be okay? God, you guys, in your commercials, in that political world, you guys make me think everything's gonna end like legit.

[Gumpy]

Every four years.

[Pat McAfee]

Real deal. Heal. I had like, real. My daughter's so young. Everything's gonna. Is there anything? And we wake up the next day and guess what we got? What's that? Game winning hard counts.

[Gumpy]

Details.

[Pat McAfee]

How about Russell Wilson winning a game with a hard count? A.J.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I mean, it's so Russell Wilson.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody on earth knew that there was probably a hard count coming, except for one guy. And that's all you need who. Who just broke it down, that you need every single person to think it's the most important job. Bill Belichick, Bill. Bill Belichick said every single person has to think that their job is the most important job going because you have a bunch of teams within your team. That D line is obviously a team within the team. Oh, obviously within the defense. So for them to over the ball, guys. Over the ball too, Rookie. For Russell Wilson's hard count to get it. He said, look how happy he's pumped. So is all of Pittsburgh because they all knew it. And on the defensive side, they thought to themselves, thank God they're the idiots that did it and not us legitimately. But if you're the Steelers, you got this going on to win a game, you will take that debug.

[Gumpy]

You probably. I mean, it's once again just like the conversation we had with Detroit and Kansas City. It's details. And everybody noticed as a defensive player and as a vet, you probably feel like for probably not reminding that rookie 10 times, hey, earmuffs, earmuffs, earmuffs. Like I don't care what the him is fourth and one. So he's right over the ball. So you right in the A gap. So if that ball is coming right downhill, if it's a sneak or anything, you obviously got to fire off. So he's in a tough spot. And obviously Russell, he's been around for a long, long time. All these veteran, you know, super bowl type caliber quarterbacks have great heart counts and they've done it for a long, long time. And once again, it doesn't show up until they show up. They won a game with a heart count on 4 to 1.

[Pat McAfee]

Congrats to them and the commanders. I still have massive faith in Washington commanders. I love watching them play this game, AJ I like the way they battled. I like the way they answered. I liked everything about it except for this, obviously. But they're going to learn from this commander Seems for real. I think they are.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I think they're definitely for real. Yeah, this, this won't. It'll be a Speed bump in. In the way for. For Washington. But credit to the Steelers. Didn't they. Didn't they call a timeout?

[I]

Went off the field.

[Jim Harbaugh]

We weren't really sure if they were punting or not. And then Russ comes back on O line can back. Okay, let's try to jump. Get him to jump. Usually it doesn't work. And then it works like, oh, my God, here we go. The Steelers do it again.

[Pat McAfee]

Mike Tomlin took the blame for the fake punt. He said, that's on me and I'd do it again, by the way. Yeah, he said I would do it again.

[Jim Harbaugh]

And you have every team worried now. Every team has to worry always and has to work all week on the different fakes that they have and know, okay, these guys aren't scared to do this. Look where he's throwing from his own end zone.

[Pat McAfee]

They literally checked into that, too. So that's the crazy thing. I think I didn't hear from Danny. I'd assume they did.

[Gumpy]

He said the guy who dropped it.

[Darius Butler]

He just came out and said, we worked on it all week, caught it every single time all week. I was ready to go.

[Pat McAfee]

So whenever. So we had done this. We had done this play as well. Whenever the corner came hot, we're throwing the ball over there. It was a check. Obviously we're doing it. See you later. This is how it goes. And we practice it a lot. A lot, a lot. Like, it was a guarantee we were going to do this if anybody came. And I think like one pack encounter was like 80 sometimes. We had practice in practice and obviously works differently there than it does in a game in some particular cases. So it going to the PP though, because that's completely different snap for the snapper. So, like, for us, Overton just had to snap me the ball. The only person that really knew it was happening was me and Gunner and PP knew, right? PP would know so that you don't need as many people to know what the hell's going on when you're snapping it to the pp. It's like snapper has to know old buddy's coming hot. So something has to get said to do that. And then he just has to naturally already set up be like, yep, no problem. Touch pass to the PP for that to get there. That was. That was very well executed. If that all happened in real time for it not to catch. And I like the fact that Tomlin came out and said, yep, we'll do it again too. Like that. That's. That's how we're going to go. I like that a lot. Yeah.

[Gumpy]

Game time. I mean, obviously you practice it, but in the stadium, different type of pressure. Like that ball. It probably felt like that ball was in the air for three hours for that DB and frame to drop it. Obviously, he felt sick. We obviously dealt with this in Dallas years and years ago. I still give him to this day, but, yeah, it's one of those things. He's a good dude. Great dude.

[Pat McAfee]

Great dude. That's why I haven't said his name today. Doesn't deserve it because he was a great football player.

[Gumpy]

It happens.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it does happen.

[Gumpy]

Everybody then says maybe he was blinded. It wasn't. It wasn't Jerry Ross.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Hey, did you see the sun? Did you hear what Jerry. This is what Jerry had to say about the sun potentially being a reason why CD Lamb couldn't catch a ball. By the way, we know where the sun's going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not. So we do know where the damn sun's going to be and our own safe. Okay, we know. All right, Enough questions.

[Evan]

What, do you want me to tear the whole stadium down? Build a new one? Come on, get real.

[Pat McAfee]

Jerry's got a little SAUCE Right now, A.J. he's got a little sauce.

[Jim Harbaugh]

How could he not? And all of his. Like, I think. Was he standing right outside like an elevator when he's doing his pressers? Like, where does he decide to do this?

[Pat McAfee]

So I think that that is the same spot every single time. It has to be from his box, just down.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Look at this, though. It does look terrible. Like, it. When I was watching the game, like, man, there's so many different. So much, like, shade and then sun, and then the angle of this, like, it is weird. It really is.

[Ty Schmidt]

The ball goes from shade to sun, too.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Trying to get that to be helpful for you. Because, you know, it. Like, in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil, there is a time at a 1 o'clock game where the sun is definitely on one end and it's not on another end. So for me, like, as a punter, that's like actual useful information. You know, like, we're going to try, but if you don't win the toss or make the decision, you know, you're kind of on. So Jerry's saying, we do know about the sun. It's like, well, you don't always get to make the decision there, Jer, is what I think everybody's saying. You don't think we knew that? The sun rises in the east and sets in the western Dallas Cowboys dating. Come on. At this time. Clockwork actual. Because it used to be the clock. Did you know that?

[Evan]

And then CD immediately after being like, yeah, the sun's a problem. I couldn't see it all. Put some curtains up there.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. There's only like eight of us who really know to the extent how big of a problem this son is. And it's just people who've been big time wide receivers for the Cowboys. Yeah, that is.

[Ty Schmidt]

He's got the visor too. He's got the like. It's a very big problem.

[Pat McAfee]

They gave me a therapeutic exemption because of the design of this place. Yeah. Doctor said you're right. You shouldn't be staring into the sun like that. So they gave me this sick visor. Still didn't work. Still didn't see a damn thing. Murphy's Law with the Dallas Cowboys right now. Murphy's Law.

[AJ Hawk]

Yes.

[Gumpy]

And we're going to keep seeing them on prime time. Going to keep talking about them.

[Ty Schmidt]

Monday Night Football.

[Gumpy]

That's going to make it, you know, worse.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's not even talk about Monday Night Football because obviously that's just one. That's a Monday night. There's a lot of those. Have you seen Thanksgiving Day?

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, boy.

[Evan]

Not good.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, Dan Campbell, let's go. Yeah. Hell yeah. The Giants.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Cowboys. One's tough.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, Jordan Love, let's go.

[Gumpy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool.

[Ty Schmidt]

Black Friday's cool.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's go. 3:00.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Those games blow.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, boy.

[Ty Schmidt]

All of them.

[Pat McAfee]

No. Dolphins.

[AJ Hawk]

Packers is a banger.

[Pat McAfee]

Agreed. We'll get a chance to see Jordan Love do his thing. We'll get. See Lambo, obviously it's going to be hopefully a chilling night. Yeah. Dolphins. We'll see if they have been able to, you know, beat their, their Achilles here, which was that freezing cold last year. You know, if Lambeau decides to get cold in Thanksgiving, let's get to Christmas, though. Christmas has good games. Christmas chafes. Steelers, Ravens, Texans. Now we don't know what the Texans look like. They get Nico Collins back, I think next week or whatever. So who knows what the Texans look like in a few weeks, but this looks like it's leading up to a big one. Christmas looks like it's great. And remember, Christmas was stolen from the NBA, so going to have a big one. Also, is this Netflix's first time dabbling with the nf? Okay, we're going to make sure the Netflix knows it's good to be in business with the NFL because I think Netflix has some pockets.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, I think, I think they have some deep ones just like Amazon, you know. We're gonna try to make our partners as happy as possible. We'll go ahead and put Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, C.J. stroud. And they didn't know who was gonna be the quarterback of the Steelers, but they're like these yin's are fucks. We'll figure it, we'll show up, they'll be good. I mean they will set the tone for it all. This feels like a good one. This feels good for Christmas, aj right now as we sit a couple months out.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh yeah, this will be good. I think this is going to be a great Christmas Day. And Netflix, isn't it this Friday, the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight. Is that on Netflix?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Have you thought about that?

[Jim Harbaugh]

The fight?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I mean I have, I have no clue what's gonna like I want. Is Mike Tyson still Mike Tyson even though he's 50 some years old?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, 58 years old. We had a. Wow. 58. Yeah. And Jake Paul's 27.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He's still got power. We know no matter what. Like your power doesn't go away.

[Pat McAfee]

But the year difference is older than Jake Paul is. Yeah. Okay. Point the. The age differential. We had a full conversation about this whenever we were down in Louisiana. Wait. This is the only time in our lives, us as young sports commentators here, that we get to say give me Mike Tyson. Yeah. You know, it's never going to happen again. We assume this is the last time he's going to be in any real promoted counts heavyweight. Like this is. I feel like this is the only time in our lives that we're going to be able to say that. But on the flip side, like isn't. Age is a big deal, right? In physical stuff and like boxing is the most physically taxing cardio sport. I mean it is.

[Jim Harbaugh]

So you say Mike wants to end it early. You think Mike wants to end this thing early?

[Pat McAfee]

Which. That's how he boxed early. So. So like a lot of people were like, well he could. He could maybe like just out technique him or tactician. It's like I understand Mike Tyson probably has fantastic technique. You would have to to have that much power. But it's like Mike Tyson boxing. From what I know I wasn't around back then whenever he was doing his thing, I wasn't watching. From what I know it's like this thing. We're ending this. So it's like Mike Tyson has to what, be a different type of boxer or. Or is that what we're going for. And if Jake, it's eight rounds, right?

[Evan]

I think so, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

That's a long ass. He said he went for eight rounds. And we watched Mike Tyson, we did some real conversation, real research on this. He said he won eight rounds. Three minutes of pop. Feels good. Obviously, the natural born killer line is one of the coldest things I've seen in some time. Live in real time. While Jake Paul is talking after his last fight, it's like, I would like to be able to say, like, give me Mike Tyson, but for somebody that knows as little as I do about boxing, it feels like 31 years age is pretty big in the, in the like cardio physical world. But Mike Tyson might be different. I mean, it might be different.

[Evan]

I mean, cardio definitely matters. But like, what's his button like? Like, as a 58 year old, like, you're not supposed to be getting punched in the face repeatedly. Like, I don't care if you're the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time or one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Like, like there's a chance. I mean, it's like, we know how fit and strong Jake Paul is. Like one good shot on the button. Like, how many of those can he just eat?

[Pat McAfee]

I, I don't. I legitimately don't know. Because then you're thinking, then you're even having a conversation, like, Mike Tyson's gonna get an octopus. Like, I don't. My brain never.

[Evan]

Yeah, exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

My brain would never, ever think that. My brain would never be able to think that because it's Mike Tyson. Like, that's literally every thought you start having it go goes back to like. But there's Mike Tyson. And the only Mike Tyson I've known is from Highlights. Yeah, yeah, he's just from Highlights. And we're swinging actual refrigerators.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

In this entire thing. But it's like, at 58, is he still.

[AJ Hawk]

Why Jake put that video out of them smooching.

[Darius Butler]

I didn't love that.

[Pat McAfee]

I was. Hey, it wasn't real. I know, but why?

[AJ Hawk]

Just why did they even. Why did they make AI think of that?

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know. Why so good at it, you know, that's a whole nother question. Couple of them did look like a smooch.

[Ty Schmidt]

Absolutely.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Gumpy]

Don't know what's gonna happen. Like, literally no clue.

[Pat McAfee]

But there's people that are pissed that Jake's fighting a 58 year old. Right.

[Jim Harbaugh]

What are the betting lines? What are the lines? Do we know? Like, what are people betting on?

[Pat McAfee]

Where is the Money.

[Ty Schmidt]

Isn't he like a huge favorite?

[Evan]

I would imagine.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Jake Paul. Sorry, Jake is.

[Pat McAfee]

He's 27 years old.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, exactly.

[Pat McAfee]

And listen, Jake Paul, I think is a tremendous business person. What he is done, how he's gone about doing it, I have so much respect for. But like in the boxing world, a 31 year, that feels like huge. It feels like that is a big, big deal. Paul's -260.

[Gumpy]

Has he faced it like a power puncher yet?

[AJ Hawk]

The only boxer he faced, he lost to and that was Fury. The only actual boxer. Everyone else he's fought was mma.

[Pat McAfee]

So the Fury, the box boxing. We had literally we had this conversation this weekend. So they like, you know, they can roll with punches and do that whole. And even Fury, who isn't the Tyson Fury, it's the other Fury, who I don't think he is like a high end, high end boxer, but he's been doing it his whole life. So there's like natural that, you know, as like a born boxer that people just can't learn in like 5 years of training or whatever if you've done your whole life. But it's like Tyson obviously knows that. But is he five, six, seven rounds? Like, is that what he's 58's no joke. That's what I'm saying. So old. I'm very fascinated by it. I'm very. Which I guess. I guess it's a good fight build.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's kind of the watch makes me want to watch.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Darius Butler]

When's it? Friday, he said.

[Pat McAfee]

Me too.

[Gumpy]

It's like regular Netflix. Or is like you had to play like a premium.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

How's that work?

[Ty Schmidt]

I think it's regular Netflix like any of the other live stuff.

[AJ Hawk]

No, it's Saturday.

[Pat McAfee]

Saturday.

[AJ Hawk]

Big UFC.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Why did I see the 5th? 15th? Why did I solve?

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, I thought it was.

[Jim Harbaugh]

But is it so guys.

[Pat McAfee]

Logan.

[AJ Hawk]

No, maybe not.

[Pat McAfee]

My apologies. I thought it was Friday.

[Jim Harbaugh]

It's 15th.

[Gumpy]

Bones Jones. When you see.

[Evan]

I was gonna say Saturday first. Hopefully it's Friday.

[Pat McAfee]

Bones is fighting Stipe.

[Gumpy]

Yeah, I just found it out.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

What?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah, yeah. Stipe hasn't found out this morning either.

[Pat McAfee]

Bones is fighting this weekend?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Yes.

[Pat McAfee]

Him and Stipe got a big weekend of fighting, boys.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

The greatest of all time. Going into the cage. Holy Stipe.

[Ty Schmidt]

Great news.

[Pat McAfee]

Wow. Has this been out there? Oh, man. Definitely. Huh? You should have known this.

[Evan]

I don't know. Cause I feel, I mean, I follow. Like when Jon Jones is getting back. I mean, they've talked about it for a while. But I had no idea it was this weekend already.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Not as many commercials. I feel like. I feel like the big fights. You would see those commercials like every other. And granted, it's probably because those other ones just ended last Tuesday, but. But it. It is a mess. I'm pumped.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I learned this morning.

[Pat McAfee]

I had no idea I was about to FaceTime somebody and be like, hey, how come did we know this?

[AJ Hawk]

He's been pretty busy, though.

[Pat McAfee]

Bingo. Yeah, Bones Jones is fighting this weekend. Probably why we have Steve trouble, dude. Bones is a. Whatever the case, congrats to Stipe for this fight happening. You know, like, Stipe earned this fight from being a badass dude. Obviously. Badass. Heavy heavyweight, but. And obviously he wanted the fight. But this a massive fight. I assume there's a. You know, Stipe's earned that big payday. And also he's Ohio now.

[Ty Schmidt]

Fireman.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah. He had a bad eye. Eye injury for a while. I think he'd been dealing with.

[Pat McAfee]

He has that, like.

[Ty Schmidt]

He's got a block head, too.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He's a fireman.

[Darius Butler]

He's got cool commercials.

[Pat McAfee]

Which one?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Modelo?

[Darius Butler]

No, no, I was.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He has a.

[Darius Butler]

Some line of, like, firefighter merch workout gear.

[Pat McAfee]

He started it. H. Have you ever seen those firefighters that race and they have ladders. Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

And they got.

[Pat McAfee]

They run awesome. And then they toss that thing. They climb it.

[Ty Schmidt]

And then they got to put the fire hydrant.

[Pat McAfee]

They put. Yeah, the whole thing. That is awesome. I would like to host those. And then the Lumberjack games.

[Evan]

Do you remember the Lumberjack Jack games are the best.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

We need to bring those back. I would. I would like to. The Firefighter games and the lumberjack games. Firefighter 1. I think they got a hose aim thing. Like, it's state fair too, you know, they gotta knock something out.

[Gumpy]

What is it, like county versus county or city versus city?

[Pat McAfee]

I think they, like, have these competition teams. Firehouse, can you go back to the beginning? Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Carrying the hoses up the ladders, too. You carry the hose right there?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Look at that. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

We have a net to catch them if they fall. Is that what that is?

[Gumpy]

Hell, no.

[Pat McAfee]

Wow. Yeah. L3 right there. Dog. Blue pants, Blue pants. How do you get a ladder like that?

[Jim Harbaugh]

You know, ladder with a hook on the top.

[Darius Butler]

There's also videos just in case. People doing this with, like, water buckets, too, where they hand it up to each other.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, yes, there's a bunch. I think there's like four or five, six different competitions. Those Lumberjacks Jack games are Sweet.

[Ty Schmidt]

So sweet.

[Pat McAfee]

Did you ever see those?

[Gumpy]

Haven't seen those.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Evan]

Oh, man.

[Gumpy]

We're talking about rolls, though.

[Darius Butler]

We're talking about steel.

[Pat McAfee]

We're talking about. Stan. Steel is obviously a saw that is certainly used whenever you're cutting through a big ass fat piece of wood. But the. The roller. Yeah. Logging, water, other end got like soccer cleats on, like trying to spin the log to knock the other person off.

[Gumpy]

I gotta see this.

[Pat McAfee]

It's. Hey, yeah. Real deal sick. And then with the.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Like sawing through this thing. Awesome.

[Evan]

Putting the. In the trees and then stepping up on it and having to go.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's the best.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And then the climbing of the. When you got those things. Yeah, we would like to bring those back now that we were in and we were going to make a push. And those are probably happening already. We haven't seen them. So for whoever's broadcast them, we would like you to do a better job marketing it. But also. What was that one? The crashed ice.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah, Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I love that. Did you see that one, aj? Do you remember that?

[Jim Harbaugh]

What do you mean? Crushed ice? What do you mean?

[Pat McAfee]

I was in Hawaii and I'm like six hours behind everybody. So I'm watching late night tv. Late night. Late night tv. And it was this Red Bull crushed ice, I think is what it was called. They made a ice racetrack down a mountain with jumps and, like, walls and. And dudes were dressed in hockey equipment and they raced down this mountain and it was like insanity. It was. These dudes are getting launched on the ice and then like, there's like, full on. Yeah, there it was.

[Ty Schmidt]

Roller derby.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, here it is. Look at this shit. Look at this. We're gonna. We apologize. This is via Crush. Red bubble. Red Bull. Grab some wings. Look at this.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, I have seen some of that. This is unbelievable.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And they go all the way down a.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Are these like ex hockey guys in Boston?

[Pat McAfee]

This one, I have not seen this one. I'm excited to see who wins this. Samuel Adams unsponsor Red takes the lead, obviously. Quick with the jump. You got to be able to handle this.

[Darius Butler]

Good turn.

[Gumpy]

Can you hit each other?

[Darius Butler]

Clean turn.

[Pat McAfee]

You can. That's why they got pads on. But it seems like Red has just gotten so far ahead they ain't got a shot. Red's unstoppable.

[Darius Butler]

Good move by yellow.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, oh. Riding the body with a finish fish. Yeah, yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Grab some ice movie. Zach Fenway.

[Pat McAfee]

That's sweet. I didn't like celebrating with him. What's that?

[Ty Schmidt]

Was that Fenway Yeah, that's at Fenway Park.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, so they can build these things anywhere.

[Darius Butler]

They're all boys cuz they know it's.

[Ty Schmidt]

Grow the game life or death.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, so we're going to have one of those outside of Thunderdome here. Little whoop woo. Around town sick. Oh my God. All right, let's make our picks and we'll do overreactions. Big game tonight, AJ Big game. Miami Dolphins with or without Tyreek Hill? Do we have any update, Gumpy?

[AJ Hawk]

No, just what Shafter said. Nothing new.

[Pat McAfee]

Sh said he's guessing he does play.

[Ty Schmidt]

True game time decision is what I read earlier.

[Pat McAfee]

Tyreek tough guy though has not missed a lot of games.

[Gumpy]

It's a wrist, right?

[Pat McAfee]

That's the yes sir wrist. You think he plays?

[Gumpy]

I'm going to go where he plays. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Tyree Kill playing for the Miami Dolphins in Darius Butler's mind also Sher guessing he will probably play alongside Tua traveling to Los Angeles, the city of stars to take on the Rams Cooper Cup. Matthew Stafford, Jared Verse and a D line that Bill Belich says. I really like him. I really, really like him. Darius, who do you like? How do you like it? On this evening, Monday Night Football.

[Gumpy]

Obviously a lot depends on Tyreek's health, but I'm going to say he shows up. The Dolphins season is on the line. The entire state of Florida, pride of the state of Florida, the great state of Florida is on the line. So I'm going to go with the Miami Dolphins to win tonight straight up.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, done want the plus two and a half. Let the record state D. But says Moneyline. Let's go to how we did once again from the weekend. AJ And I picking games overseen. I'm six and seven, you're four nine. Boy, we really seen it. Well, aren't we? This was a weekend where the books got back on the public. Tone Diggs told us that the Unders and the dogs were the ones that were doing the winning this weekend.

[Darius Butler]

Ten and three dogs, nine and four to the under.

[Pat McAfee]

So does that continue to rain true for Monday Night Football? Are the Miami Dolphins destined to cover or will the Los Angeles Rams at home in whose house.

[AJ Hawk]

There'S dirty there it was.

[Pat McAfee]

Good answer. Dirty. I appreciate that. Who do you like, A.J.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Well I was waffling a bit, but Bill talking about how great this Rams D line just put it over the top for me. So give me the Rams minus two and a half.

[Pat McAfee]

Here we go. I will do the exact same. Rams -2 and a half for both AJ and I D Butch will be riding, starting with the Miami Dolphins of South Florida looking to get the first win for the state of Florida all weekend.

[Gumpy]

Need it.

[Pat McAfee]

Congrats to Florida. You guys were once known as a great athletic state. Yep.

[Gumpy]

Still are.

[Pat McAfee]

Now people are starting to wonder.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Tim Reynolds says this never happened before. Ever. Florida's FBS, FCS, NFL teams are combined 0 and 11 on the same weekend. Only the Dolphins can save them. Fau, Florida, Miami, fsu, usf, uc, famu, Bethune in Stetson. Jags and Bucks close las loss. Will the Dolphins save the day? Will the city of Miami show for the state of Florida?

[Gumpy]

Absolutely. And Tua Trust.

[Darius Butler]

There you have it.

[Ty Schmidt]

Boom.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you, Tua.

[Gumpy]

Thank you too.

[Pat McAfee]

Already it's gonna be warm in there too. He's gonna feel so. Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Quick whistle. Let's get a quick whistle.

[Pat McAfee]

Be safe too.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, Be safe to sack him softly.

[AJ Hawk]

Gonna pound the rock.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, but not to us.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, right. Don't pound.

[Pat McAfee]

I have others. He'll have his one.

[AJ Hawk]

He'll do his head first dive on one play.

[I]

That's what he does.

[Pat McAfee]

He does won a game. No, he does won a game. He dives for one first down every game. That's what he does to adult to Tua. Tua.

[Evan]

Don't do it.

[Ty Schmidt]

Don't do that.

[Darius Butler]

Don't do that.

[Pat McAfee]

We need you.

[Gumpy]

Do what you got.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He might be giving concussions out now. You might say no. It's my turn. I'm going to dole him out.

[Pat McAfee]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Ty Schmidt]

He tried that.

[Pat McAfee]

Whoa.

[Gumpy]

Do what the you got to do, T. Whatever it takes stays on your back. You can't play football scared.

[Ty Schmidt]

You can't.

[Gumpy]

You got to die for a first down. You die for a first down. If you're scared, go to church.

[Evan]

Hell yeah.

[Gumpy]

Be willing to get a dog. Yeah. Scared. Get a rottweiler. Go to church. All love it.

[Darius Butler]

Great song.

[Pat McAfee]

Feel scared. Go church. Feel good. A do you work?

[Darius Butler]

But I do Great song.

[Pat McAfee]

Rest in peace. To Ben.

[Evan]

Peace.

[Pat McAfee]

Hell yeah. Yeah. Oh, that got me there. Oh, yeah.

[Evan]

That was a. That letter was real dusty.

[Pat McAfee]

How about that 11 year old girl? The Jen lan story.

[AJ Hawk]

Y. Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

I was crying all over the place.

[Evan]

I know.

[Pat McAfee]

I'm just sitting up there crying my face off a few weeks in a row. Jen's got me every time I think Jen every single time. Tell great stories there. And then that letter that Kirk penned about Ben. Boy. Boy, yeah. Him trying to throw to that middle of show. And then after the show I'm like in my head. I'm like, how would. I don't even know if I would be able to.

[Gumpy]

It's tough.

[Pat McAfee]

What am I going to one of Ben's boys? Peter was there. Big dog, Strapping. Peter was a good. I think for Kirk. Peter was a very good. Needed it. You know, I think there was one of those moments. We love you, Kirk.

[Ty Schmidt]

Love you.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Gumpy]

Herby having a better night.

[Pat McAfee]

Hey, man.

[Gumpy]

All weekend.

[Pat McAfee]

The whole time.

[Gumpy]

All weekend. Thursday, Saturday. Crazy.

[Pat McAfee]

LSU just got their asses kicked by them.

[Evan]

They sure did.

[Pat McAfee]

Did we expect there? Yeah, kind of like that. You did? Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Brian Kelly in a big game.

[Pat McAfee]

Brian Kelly was good when he came over and talked to us.

[Ty Schmidt]

Great Massachusetts guy. No, nothing against him.

[Pat McAfee]

Did you see any shoes he had? Oh, yeah. It was sick.

[Darius Butler]

He was 130 at night. LSU.

[Pat McAfee]

Really?

[Gumpy]

You booking him live. That was dope. Seemed like a cool guy.

[Pat McAfee]

How about that? That was a good little chat. Hey, don't want to waste your time, but also need a little more. You got.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You got 12 minutes. You can go hang out and come back.

[Pat McAfee]

He was obviously going to use those 12 minutes to get better. He wasn't recruited. I think, you know, over 300 crews here. Some target.

[Darius Butler]

I'm about to come on back.

[Pat McAfee]

They saw that rain. They saw that rain out there. I thought he said he had a nice cold beer. Well, maybe he did, huh? He did say.

[Ty Schmidt]

Probably.

[Pat McAfee]

Operator, won't you put me on line one more time? Hey.

[Ty Schmidt]

Suck that tick.

[Pat McAfee]

I did find out what they were saying towards the end there.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, more here.

[Pat McAfee]

They're saying that here's pretty crazy. It's good. 805. Who do they want?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Who's doing that?

[Pat McAfee]

Like 6 year olds and then like 85 rules and everybody in between. Everybody in between.

[Gumpy]

Man, what a tough. Like, I know you. That's. That's definitely a game, Coach Danger. Like, is that definitely a game you're inviting all the big time recruits to?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. And then like the house when they're there.

[Evan]

Kelly said it. 300 guys and a bunch of guys on official visits.

[Pat McAfee]

God, last week coming here and they were. No, they had to hear that.

[Evan]

And then Milro said, how about you.

[Gumpy]

Suck on my dick?

[Evan]

And then ran for.

[Pat McAfee]

I didn't hear him say that.

[Evan]

I think he did. I thought I saw a mouth in it.

[Pat McAfee]

Dude, he was so fast.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Move.

[Pat McAfee]

He looked like he was just playing at a different speed.

[Evan]

I know.

[Ty Schmidt]

So right away too.

[Pat McAfee]

So, so fast. So it's. It's wild how fast. It's like, why aren't we doing that every. Let's do that. Yeah. Yeah. And by. I'm not talking to Jalen, I'm talking to hey. Yep. But then you don't want to slow down his development as a passive quarterback as well, because that's part of the entire thing. It's like both of those can go injury. Both of those can go very much. But it's like Jaylen's special, man. He's special. Yeah.

[Gumpy]

Ain't like he frilled like he's.

[Pat McAfee]

He.

[Gumpy]

Jack.

[Pat McAfee]

Speaking of Jaylin from Alabama, four TUDs for Herz.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Pretty good.

[Pat McAfee]

You know, everybody's talking to about Jerry Jones saying, we know the sun's east and west. We get it. And they're talking about Mike McCarthy and Micah talking about Mike McCarthy. Nobody's talking about Jalen. Hurts. Want bananas this weekend. Don't. He looks good. Ball is so he's pro. He throws up like a lawn dart. If he goes like when he's throwing it, it's beautiful the way he opens that thing up. And obviously he has this in his game that. That'll never go away. And it's like. Like Nick Sirianni and the boys are flying around. They're jumping over people backwards. Jaylen's going for four TUDs. Coaches are almost fired because of them. It's like Philadelphia Eagles are rolling right now. Happy for that. That's one of your teams.

[Gumpy]

That is one of my teams because of Jalen Herz. Just like Justin Herbert, you know, I follow these. These quarterbacks. You're a quarterback that I love. I loved how he handled what happened to him in college. You know, getting benched, still staying there, being a good teammate. Then going to Oklahoma, learning under Lincoln. Riley obviously had to read a bunch of coverages, read different progressions and throws, became a better passer. And then his path since coming into the NFL, like A.J. brown, when he's one on one, he's catching the ball, bringing Saquon over. Then the big question was that defense. Defense was absolutely terrible down the stretch last year. And now Vic Fangio got those young boys playing some good ball. So all in on it.

[Pat McAfee]

Look at that, son. Yeah, we knew where the sun was.

[Gumpy]

That's crazy.

[Pat McAfee]

Wow. That is very bright.

[Gumpy]

That's crazy. Come on, deer.

[Ty Schmidt]

Get some curtains.

[Pat McAfee]

Remember when they built that thing? The sun? I guess, like that wasn't chatted about. They had the Jumbotron too low.

[Gumpy]

Yep.

[Pat McAfee]

Remember? Yeah. I was just getting punted and bombed on every single week. Yeah. We knew that the Bunners could football. They got to aim for it, though. We're going to lift that thing up a few meters. I've been told. Few meters. What a wild time. J. Maybe J, Jerry. Nope. I'm not saying it. Say it. Maybe he has lost his fastball.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh oh, definitely. Definitely have his losses.

[Pat McAfee]

Maybe Jerry. Maybe Jerry needs to realize that. You think?

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, pass the ball. Jerry.

[Gumpy]

Do you think the builders like hey, so Jerry, like if you play a 4:00 game like the sun it's probably going to be. What do you think like. Cuz I. I'm sure that conversation had like they. We've been doubtful in with the sun since the Egyptians were building. Like they knew exactly where the sun.

[Pat McAfee]

Was going to be when used to be the clock. Yeah.

[Gumpy]

Yeah. So I, I feel like that conversation had to. Had to come up.

[Pat McAfee]

Hey Jerry, you know, sun does it. Well, hopefully we're all hoping it does come up and it's going to be. You know, because when the Colts built their stadium. Well, Colts didn't. The city did. The way they had it set up is that I think it's still the Colt sideline just get. Gets cooked for longer than the other sideline for a while. I think that is still the case because they couldn't switch it because the season ticket prices behind any mana and everything like that. So a lot of questions were like did anybody think about this during it all? Oh yeah, they all have discussions about it.

[Gumpy]

I know Miami. That's a big thing in Miami. Hard Rock Stadium like that visiting sideline. Yeah.

[Evan]

It's hot as cooked one.

[Gumpy]

There's obviously a big difference. You know, September through, you know, January with the sun down there up here. But still like I mean that's a huge advantage for the dog.

[Pat McAfee]

Good move by Miami.

[Gumpy]

Great, great move.

[Pat McAfee]

That's home field advantage. Absolutely. Yeah. What is all the home field advantage? Your loud fans. Sure. Or is it the humidity? Sure. Also we get shade. Yeah. See that thing? Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

See you Killing you.

[Pat McAfee]

You got none over there. That's smart.

[Gumpy]

Hell yeah. In October. You coming from 40 high school stadiums do that.

[Jim Harbaugh]

High school stadiums are set up to where the. The opposing fans if they're. The sun's out, they're staring right into the sun.

[Pat McAfee]

I love that type of stuff.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. It's genius.

[Pat McAfee]

I do. I very much enjoy that. Yeah. Good for humans. We're figuring it out. Yeah, right. Yeah.

[AJ Hawk]

Not Jerry but.

[Pat McAfee]

What?

[Evan]

Not Jerry but he still got it in there. Shut the up and build the stadium.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay.

[Evan]

I don't give a where the sun's gonna be.

[Pat McAfee]

You think that's what he said?

[Evan]

Yeah, probably oh, I'm sorry, dude. Are you paying for this? Oh, you're not? Okay, Shut the up and build her. I'll find someone who will.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, sir, if we move it this way, though, just a little bit, it'll potentially just block out the entire.

[Evan]

What are you, an architect? Shut the up.

[Pat McAfee]

I am actually an architect.

[Evan]

Well, not a very good one. I'm gonna find somebody else who will listen to everything I say.

[Pat McAfee]

Are you an architecture architect?

[Evan]

Might as well be how much money I'm worth. Build the stadium and shut your mouth.

[Darius Butler]

I was the architect of America's thing.

[Pat McAfee]

There is a chance that that's how that conversation went.

[Ty Schmidt]

No doubt.

[Pat McAfee]

Any crazy. We know too much now that we know that that is potentially possible. Yeah, that is how it potentially went. That Tiger being on the sideline for lsu. So awesome.

[Ty Schmidt]

So sick.

[Pat McAfee]

Just the way we heard the story of how it all went down. So awesome. So awesome.

[Ty Schmidt]

Gotta keep that going.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know how much is real or not, but boy Governor Jeff Landry was gonna have a tiger on that sideline. And I rar.

[Gumpy]

You hear a story in Louisiana, it's real. No matter how wild or crazy shits is most likely a real.

[Pat McAfee]

Hey, LA's a special place now.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[Pat McAfee]

The more I've learned it is a special. Hot as down there.

[Ty Schmidt]

Humid.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's see how hot it was on Internet streets every single Monday of a football season. I put out a bird call and I ask NFL fans to kind of, you know, empty the emotions into one particular tweet. All you gotta use is. I don't want to overreact, but. And you could find your tweet on this particular program. Ty Schmidt went through them all, found his favorites. It went up to number three overall trend on the United States. And we appreciate everybody for participating. Shout out to everybody. There was somebody that was a lot of politics stuff, potentially.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Hope everybody's okay. Hope everybody's happy. You know, I thought this was all ending last week. I guess that is not the case in this entire thing. Let's go to some of these tweets that Todd picked out. This one's from AP Tone. Hashtag, I don't want overreact, but for the first time since the 2017 season, I think the Steelers can make a run. The only team in the AFC that worries me is the Ravens. And the Ravens are now 17 in their last eight versus Pittsburgh. Lamar is 2 and 4 versus Steelers with seven fumbles, seven interceptions sacked 20 times. Oh, almost forgot. Ravens week you guys got the Ravens on Sunday. This is a big indicator. Bill Belichick said we're going to find out who this Pittsburgh Steelers team is. Seems like you already found out who this Pittsburgh Steelers team is. You feel very good, Tone.

[Darius Butler]

I do feel very good. The race Ravens matchup wise are the only ones I do fear. But the Steelers match up with the Ravens better than anybody. And I did use that, my platform there to take a shot at the Ravens and how bad they have been against the Steelers coming up versus this week versus Ravens week, which is the biggest week of the year every time it happens. Let's not forget this is the best rivalry in football and I can't wait.

[Gumpy]

To see what happens.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, it is the best rivalry in the NFL. You could say. I assume there's some people that would argue a hostage Mishka, but maybe.

[Ty Schmidt]

Is that going to be probably not anymore.

[Pat McAfee]

Is that going to be going forward then Texas, Oklahoma, how's that going to continue to grow? Obviously. Is Oklahoma going to be able to continue to be a wagon at some point? We shall see. Raven Steelers always good, always means something. And back in the day, I don't know how many NFL cities have this. Whenever the Cleveland Browns say, you know what, we're leaving, we're going to Baltimore. And Baltimore Pittsburgh becomes a thing. Spending especially with Ed and Ray and Palamalo and everybody. I mean it became real thing. They'd have like pep rallies downtown to beat the Ravens. Hey, come on, Don, to the south side. Get a hammer and hit this car that is painted up like a Baltimore Raven. They don't do that anymore. That's awesome. That is literally how the Steelers Ravens rivalry in what it became in the good times. Now both teams are vying for the top of the AFC again. Feels like this does have the opportunity to become everything that it once was.

[Darius Butler]

It's a great rivalry. It's always been a great game. It's a respected one though. Like we as Steelers fans, we respect Ravens fans and that organization. Unlike the Bengals and Browns, they. They, they just suck. Sure. The other two, it's a respected Heat rivalry. I can't wait.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, well, Russell Wilson versus Lamar Jackson in the AFC North. Can't wait to watch. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we? This is, this is from old zd, baby. Oh, no. Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but we need to blow up the Bears organization from the inside. George has never won a playoff game since taking over in 2011. He also fired a 10, 6. Lovey Smith, still to this day makes no sense. Just an added note there from Z. He doesn't have the dog in him. Like the great George Halas, the McCaskeys should gift the team to the great city of Chicago. Absolute fire, everyone.

[Evan]

Oh, no.

[Pat McAfee]

You're saying from top down. Top down, the fat lady has sung. It's over. Damn, man. I'm sorry to hear that. Hey, good run, though, for this guy. Little Baby George. You guys call him Little George. Baby George. What's his name? Ah, just. Okay. Horrible.

[Ty Schmidt]

Horrible George.

[Pat McAfee]

Okay, Horrible George. She's up in a game right now. Oh, Horrible George.

[Ty Schmidt]

Horrible George.

[Pat McAfee]

He's nothing like Dog George.

[Evan]

No, no, no.

[Pat McAfee]

He's Horrible George. Lovey Smith getting fired from there. One and more. One and more.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, that happens.

[Pat McAfee]

Cleveland Browns had Baker Mayfield as their quarterback. They want to playoff game. One and more. One and more. I don't get you.

[Ty Schmidt]

Caldwell.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Caldwell in Detroit. Same exact thing, but that's.

[Evan]

You think you finally found the guy?

[Pat McAfee]

La. Fordham turned it all around. Good luck to the Bears.

[Evan]

Yeah, good luck.

[Pat McAfee]

Sorry, man.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, they're.

[Pat McAfee]

That's no fun. Z was. He was taking down entire Cows. Yeah. You know, in those victory stakes, my freezer is so stacked right now, and I can't eat any of them.

[Ty Schmidt]

It's been a while.

[Pat McAfee]

A while, too. It's been a while.

[Ty Schmidt]

Bingo.

[Pat McAfee]

Hand's gonna be a while. Is Caleb good? Oh, he's so good.

[Ty Schmidt]

The people that watched, I think, would argue, but he pops a lot.

[Pat McAfee]

Dan and Daniel was standing on his.

[AJ Hawk]

Chair today talking about him.

[Pat McAfee]

I did see Dana all standing up. This is a timing thing, a route thing. Yada, yada, yada thing. All right, then. What were you. You say pots? Yeah.

[Evan]

I'm saying he pots a lot.

[Pat McAfee]

He's potting.

[Evan]

Like, listen.

[Pat McAfee]

Like, how?

[Jim Harbaugh]

What do you mean?

[Evan]

Your OC stinks, Euro line stinks. But I don't need to see you potting and whining on the side.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, he's invested. That's why he's a guy for being competitive. Yeah. You want him to be happy on.

[Ty Schmidt]

The sideline, I mean.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Ty Schmidt]

Bring the energy.

[Evan]

Thank you. Just being a potter isn't being competitive. It's being a potter.

[Pat McAfee]

You're done with the pot.

[Evan]

You don't pot in the NFL. Okay? This ain't usc, pal. Okay? And all the Bears fans, you know, when they drafted. But look at our roster, we're actually like.

[Pat McAfee]

Like, win.

[Evan]

You see north this year? No, you aren't. Okay. It's the same. It's the same Z nose. This is the same thing over and.

[Pat McAfee]

Over, over and over. Yeah, but they're potting. They care.

[Evan]

And I'm done with the pot. Okay, you're not any good.

[Pat McAfee]

So don't pot fire.

[Evan]

Fire your head coach. And listen, I know he's been. I know he's been on the show. He's been a friend of the show. He's a good guy. You probably should can polls too.

[AJ Hawk]

T is right there. You gotta get rid of everybody.

[Evan]

They needed to get an offensive line to protect their quarterback. But instead they got Keenan Allen. They drafted another wide receiver. We had the best skill guys ever organized.

[Pat McAfee]

Is it possible start with team Zero? Just skip everybody quit potting.

[Evan]

Play no pot, just play.

[Pat McAfee]

Well, let's go to another overreaction.

[Evan]

I hope they don't fire Flutes though. I would like to see him be there through the packers game next week. I'm worried if they fire him, you know, they get that interim coach bump.

[Darius Butler]

It would have happened.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's go to the next one. This is from Trey Baxter at Trey Backs. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but Bobby Slow can respectfully suck both my Texas. It would show more effort than the Texans second half performance. Jesus.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's a good one, Trey.

[Pat McAfee]

Everybody was celebrating with Aaron Glenn and how great his defense was. Trey says we need to be looking on the other side. This guy. Jeez, suck both of his balls. Respectfully.

[Ty Schmidt]

He said respect respectfully.

[Jim Harbaugh]

It's a good tweet.

[Pat McAfee]

All right, let's go to the next one. This From Tyler Frassinet. Frassin2 hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but Jerry Jones is a worse owner than David Te. No O line or D line. Linebackers suck. Only have one weapon in cd. No running game. Dip gets asked to foul the question about the sun and acts like a Hershey bar Jer. And so the teams feel good. They want his life to get even worse. I don't understand what that's all about. I don't know what that's all about. A lot of on Jerry and he's.

[Evan]

Just every week, I mean, I think like McCarthy gets some but like from what I see. Listen, McCarthy ain't the problem. It's Jerry.

[Pat McAfee]

Jerry put this on himself whenever he became the voice and the face of the team. Whenever things go well, I assume he's going to get a lot of credit. I haven't been around for it. Yeah, right.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah. Because it has been going well.

[Pat McAfee]

But if it was you know it would be. And then whenever it goes wrong, obviously it's 100% on him as well. Jerry Jones, he sells the team. It's a lot of money.

[Evan]

Oh, yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

He's not selling.

[Ty Schmidt]

No chance.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's a family operation. You know that forever.

[Pat McAfee]

What if he looks at Steven, though?

[Evan]

You ain't fucking got it.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah, you. You gonna be the gm?

[Pat McAfee]

I don't think so, pal. Fucking Bezos wants to give me 25 billion for this.

[Ty Schmidt]

Fuck it.

[Gumpy]

He's been training up AI Jerry for that.

[Pat McAfee]

To answer questions? Yeah.

[Gumpy]

I mean, to run the team when he dies.

[Pat McAfee]

I didn't think about that.

[Jim Harbaugh]

A little bit of upcharge. You know that? Sorry, Knew. A little bit of upcharge in the tours, I think $40 for the tour, $70. You get to interact with AI Jerry Smart.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean, you're only getting around AI Jerry one time. Better ask him a question. It's like you do dinner with Jay Z. Impossible.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, no. Where is everybody?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Where's everybody?

[Pat McAfee]

Where's everybody at? Where's your adage? Was dinner with a perceived great business person.

[Evan]

Right.

[Pat McAfee]

Or $250,000 or whatever it is. Or 50,000, wherever the number is. It's like Jerry's like, you only get to see me one time. You're not gonna ask AI me a fucking question. You're a fucking doofus. 30 more bucks. How about the practice facility? They still give them tours out there?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I got so many questions about all that stuff going on. I don't know if I've read enough or if I've read too much. I'm kind of stuck in an interesting.

[Ty Schmidt]

Situation that's just a dumpster fire lander.

[Gumpy]

Jay Z's name.

[Ty Schmidt]

All right, we're not doing it.

[Pat McAfee]

A lot of people are, though. It's just. I feel like legitimately what I just said, it's like. And then. Is there a community notes coming after this one? Well, like, the thing I read, this big, long thing. It's like, I know a lot of those names. I know a lot of those. I've listened to a lot of that music. And I get to the ball bottom, and it has 12 million views. I'm like, wow, a lot of people have seen this. And then I get to the bottom. There's no community notes. I'm like, my God.

[Darius Butler]

Breaking games.

[Evan]

Done it again.

[Pat McAfee]

Is this one real?

[Ty Schmidt]

How is this happened?

[Pat McAfee]

And I'm like, that can't be real. Because if that's real, then. And then you get another one. And I start reading it. Is that every human that has ever.

[Ty Schmidt]

First hundred days is gonna be crazy.

[Pat McAfee]

Then I read that one. Yeah. Then all of a sudden you're in it and you're 15, 20 minutes later, and it's like, like, what's going on? What's real? What isn't real? I just read. And then bang, snap back to reality and you realize that somebody tried to take down your video about Jelly Roll. Talking about the number one album of the week. Ain't that interesting.

[Gumpy]

Has he gotten back to you yet?

[Pat McAfee]

Elon has never got. I don't think he ever responded.

[Darius Butler]

He's busy right now.

[Pat McAfee]

But I did want to ask him, like, hey, isn't this kind of what your platform is all about here? How. How come this is getting. Copyright strike? I thought, like, I appreciate what you're saying. X is a about. Like, hey, this is about the. So when Jelly Roll comes in here and says, yeah, we kind of had some slimy stuff happen for the number one album. It's been happening forever probably, but it ends up working out. Mooseport. And then we put it up on that platform, and then it gets a copyright strike from a company that nobody's ever heard of, and then you just take it down without anything. It's like, wait, I thought. I thought, how come the other platforms didn't take it but this one? Interesting.

[Darius Butler]

Big music.

[Pat McAfee]

What's that all about? We want one, though. Videos back up.

[Ty Schmidt]

Hell yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you.

[Ty Schmidt]

Good work, X.

[Darius Butler]

Thank you.

[Pat McAfee]

Thank you. Thank you. Do you know that happened, aj?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, yeah. I knew it happened. I. What. What do they claim was the copyright strike? Like, what. What was wrong?

[Pat McAfee]

That video. The video that is airing right there.

[Jim Harbaugh]

In the question, like, what. Who. Who got to claim it? What's the company?

[Pat McAfee]

Some company I've never heard of before. The company. It was a company that never heard of it before, actually looked into it, did the whole thing. It was just some random, random company copyright strike. I am not the owner. Bang. Take it down. Video just was a gray picture. So then I put out, you know, a little, hey, what's this all about? You know, I quote, tweet it because it was done. I wouldn't follow DMCA against myself. So something I would do.

[AJ Hawk]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

Why would I do that? That'd be very stupid to do. I could just take the thing down if I didn't want it up there. Why would I? But then my next question was, why did X just automatically say, okay, yeah, you own it, not me. And then take it down. I hope they get to the bottom of It. I don't want to overreact, but feels like, huh, a little slimy stuff. Felt like it was a little slimy, didn't it aj?

[Jim Harbaugh]

Very slimy. That's what. That's what he was saying, Kelly. Joey.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I don't understand how any of that works, by the way. How can one. Yeah. Which I want to know. The individual. What individual was able to get that and make it happen?

[Pat McAfee]

There was a C. Something. Oh, I forget what the middle letter was at the bottom of the email. I read it. I got the email from it. I looked on Twitter and it was already. But people had already noticed that that got taken down. Yeah. There was a. I didn't know that there was a little bit of a. The Swifties were pretty intrigued, I guess by that entire video. I guess they are fans of Jelly Roll. But there's maybe other people that were involved in that conversation that they're wondering about. Mm hmm. So I got alerted by the Swifties, actually. First that it happened. Then I get email from Twitter because I thought maybe my phone just wasn't loading the video.

[Ty Schmidt]

Sure.

[Pat McAfee]

Like I thought maybe my wifi wasn't good. Swifties gave me a heads up. Then the email. Then what's this about?

[Ty Schmidt]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Pat McAfee]

And then guess what happens overnight?

[Ty Schmidt]

Got fixed, Put back up.

[Pat McAfee]

That's what we're talking about. That's good. That's how it's supposed to go. Yeah. What's that?

[Gumpy]

Swifties are dialed in like when you talk about like a. Oh, that's a smart football fan base. Like they are. They're dialed.

[Pat McAfee]

Have you ever been to one of the shows?

[Gumpy]

I have not.

[Pat McAfee]

Tool buddy. Just pop in there one time. It is inexperience worth it. They are all in, all of them. Every word, every moment, every breath locked in.

[Gumpy]

There's a reaction when she come back to America.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't know if your stories know if this tour is probably. Next tour.

[Gumpy]

Next tour.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And I assume she could literally just say she's going anywhere and just sell out a stadium.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Anytime she wants for the rest of her life.

[Ty Schmidt]

People travel overseas to see her.

[Pat McAfee]

Congrats to her for that.

[Darius Butler]

Congrats.

[Pat McAfee]

Let's get to another forever. I think she'll be able to do it forever.

[Gumpy]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Cuz she's got 8 year olds and she's got 50, 45. 50 year olds and all singing.

[Darius Butler]

I went trick or treating with a three year year old who was Taylor Swift for Halloween.

[Pat McAfee]

So forever. Congratulations. Hey, congratulations. Congratulations. All right, let's go to another Overreaction. This one's from OH Henry. Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but Saints are all the way back. Head coach Darren. The Rizzler got the boys playing with a fire under their ass. The fans, the city, and the Pope himself are behind the team. Saints will go marching on February 9th. What was the tweet that the Pope put out? I saw everybody reacting to it. We cannot become Saints with a frown. We must have joyful hearts that remain open to hope. And he hashtag the Saints, obviously. So that is the New Orleans Saints. So the Pope is behind the Rizzler. And obviously Coach Riz will be joining us tomorrow.

[Evan]

Hell, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

At 205. Can't wait to talk to him about life as an NFL head coach. Let's go to the next overreaction here. This is from. From Willis at vvi. You see, but you capitalize Willis. That's very clever. Hashtag, I don't want to overreact, but the Sam Donald experiment ended. His second Darasaw got injured. It's past Halloween. He's still seeing ghosts at this point. It's darn over. A win is a win, but give me Mullins or unite KOC with the pastor, not Josh Dobbs for the rest of the season. Half hashtag skull. Hashtag JJ 2025. Saw a lot of JJ McCarthy on the Internet. Everybody's looking forward to it.

[Evan]

Yeah, people are done with Arnold now. This turned into a pumpkin finally.

[Pat McAfee]

Yep.

[Darius Butler]

Did they forget that those other two quarterbacks you mentioned there also turned into pumpkins last year?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, and they didn't win as many games as Darnold has. 24, 38, 241, and three interceptions is still one game. Still one. They don't care. Josh Allen had two picks yesterday.

[Ty Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Not going to talk about it because of how great he is and how big the Bills won. But it was like those two picks got me pretty jacked up about the Colts defense, which makes me think there's still a chance, you know? Still a chance we can go on a run. Let's go to another overreaction, shall we? It's from Paul Douglas. Here we go. Hashtag, I don't want to overreact. This Colts whole organization is a dumpster fire. Fire the entire front office. Fire the entire coaching staff. Staff Cut or trade every player on the roster. Remove the owner.

[Ty Schmidt]

Whoa.

[Pat McAfee]

Let Carly take over. Who's running it now? Team needs a complete reset, says Paul Douglas. Carly's there every day, I think. On the sidelines.

[Ty Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Locked in and in the meetings and everything like that. The Irsay family, I think, is pretty. Pretty practice.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Is she in the sidelines of practice, too? Every day?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. I think whenever I was there, she would come out for. Not the entirety, but she would come out for practice. I. I know she watches film, for sure. She's on the sideline. She's in the building. Kaylin's in the building. I believe the whole family's in the building. It's like they have to know what's going on, right?

[Ty Schmidt]

Definitely. Absolutely have to.

[Pat McAfee]

Oh, man.

[Evan]

A.J.

[Darius Butler]

You watched the game in. In Colts territory. What were the fans saying around you?

[Jim Harbaugh]

They weren't real. They weren't huge like Colts fans at the moment during the game? I would say they would. They definitely wanted AR back, though.

[Pat McAfee]

They did, yeah. We saw. We heard some AR stuff as well. And how they.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Sorry. How did they react to Joe in the stadium? For real? Like, were they. Were they polite? They weren't. They were.

[Ty Schmidt]

No. After that second pick, they're boom.

[Pat McAfee]

They cheered him on the field. Cheered him on the field. Jonathan Taylor got introduced last. Joe Flacco got introduced second to last. Cheered him onto the field. First play pick, that stuff. Yeah. Second series pick. Yeah. Losing pretty copyright. Got pretty loud. Then there was a couple missed layups. Got pretty loud. And then the Bills fans started getting loud. And then it all kind of blended in. Sure. And then it just. One thing led to it.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Josh Allen come. Did he come talk to you at all or do I throw the ball in your direction or anything?

[Pat McAfee]

I. He threw the ball in our direction. I did not see him personally. In our area. There was a pre snap where I thought we made eye contact and then he threw the ball away on that particular place right at our suite. It hit the wall right next to our suite, actually. So I did wonder if there was a thought because we know he's a talker, right. So he might have a chance. Throw away. Let's go ahead and try to peg somebody in that suite. Would have been sweet.

[Ty Schmidt]

Awesome.

[Pat McAfee]

And I will say, that ball flying right at us pretty much in the trajectory and then hitting the wall, I think was coming. That guy's got a hose.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Bluey hit Bluey in the head. Knocked that thing out.

[Pat McAfee]

Bluey hit a Bills fan in the face. Air Blue hit Bill's fan in the face. That was Friends of Bruce. That was a cool little moment. That was a good moment. Yeah, that was a good moment. The motorcycle stalled out during intros and that was the end. That's what we knew we did it. That was the end of the game. Oh, buddy, that was tough.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Stall out.

[Pat McAfee]

Human stole it.

[Jim Harbaugh]

The human stalled it.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. And then, you know, cuz, jeez comes out. There's somebody in a sidecar with a flag every single time. Leads the way, leads the way out there. Kind of sets the tone for everything. Horsepower, you know, we do the whole thing and it's right next to. I mean, we're 10ft away. It set the tone and then it's out. And then see the guy pulling clutch, trying to restart it, looking around. And then DeForest Buckner's like running. They're like running around it now and then. And then he's too quick on the clutch. Honestly, it was tough, dude. I don't know what the fuck happened. I, I hope that wasn't a situation where somebody was given the keys to that thing that didn't deserve it. I hope that wasn't a different person driving that just because they were begging her ass for it. I hope we understand that we can't just put anybody behind the fucking sticks. And I think that they're going to be able to smoothly open that. Whenever there are 75,000 people going crazy with a football team running around you, I mean, it's.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I mean we need like Travis Pastrana, Evel Knievel driving that thing. They're not.

[Ty Schmidt]

They're just handing out jobs over there.

[Pat McAfee]

I guess I'm worried. I am worried because I think it's normally an old that is on there. This was a young.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Was halftime sweet? Was halftime really cool?

[Pat McAfee]

Halftime, Swear in ceremony.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, my bad.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, that's right. So it was. Was that okay? You tell me.

[Ty Schmidt]

You're not even listening.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's great. I think it's great. Especially before Veterans Day. I think that's a great thing. Normally you said they have some kind of rinky dink superheroes playing football.

[Pat McAfee]

What are you talking about?

[Jim Harbaugh]

I've never been there. You guys told me this. You said some like some Superman kid that gets paid 40 bucks to go do a. Like a kid's birthday party was like playing square.

[Pat McAfee]

Spider man running around at halftime. Yeah, okay.

[Darius Butler]

Those were good old days.

[Ty Schmidt]

Captain America, back when people worked in there.

[Gumpy]

Were they really stealing signs? They really taking free ar.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Come on.

[Pat McAfee]

I don't think. Can you. They honored all the Indiana Olympians. That was a really cool moment. Yeah. Cole Hooker, I think is his name. Yeah, he's the marathon winner. Remember him? Cole Hawker. Yeah, he was cool. I got to talk to him. Before him, he at the Anvil oh, nice. He was cool, dude. They all kind of have like a hippie vibe. All those runners. But they definitely don't smoke.

[Evan]

No.

[Pat McAfee]

Can't. True. My two edibles, but had like, good. Oh, you're right. I didn't think. I don't know if you could do those either. Olympic testing. I wonder how much they test car. Oh, yeah. I'm not getting into it. Yep.

[Gumpy]

That was dumb.

[Ty Schmidt]

That was sweet.

[Pat McAfee]

So stupid. So stupid. So stupid.

[Gumpy]

But the. Yeah.

[Darius Butler]

Javelin.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Gumpy]

If they, you know.

[Pat McAfee]

All right. We're not talking, you know, through someone.

[Darius Butler]

Through someone's chest.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Oh, that's true. I do debug. Good call back.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Good call back.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. All right. Let's get the hell out of here. Be back tomorrow. Tuesday.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Wild take.

[Pat McAfee]

There was not more I didn't want to. I got this guitar pick from Ernest. Very nice of him.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I saw that on the desk. That's cool.

[Ty Schmidt]

Jacket too.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah, so.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Jacket's really cool.

[Pat McAfee]

Legalized country music, brother. Hell yeah. I didn't know outlaw. You know what I'm saying? I got a lot of texts from people that would definitely wear this type of jacket on a daily basis.

[AJ Hawk]

Yeah.

[Pat McAfee]

Hey, that's a cool jacket. I'm like, you got goddamn right it is. That's why I sit on my desk right now. Sit on my chair.

[Gumpy]

I had to do a double take.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. So do we.

[Gumpy]

Corner my eye just to check.

[Pat McAfee]

So do we. Yeah. As soon as it was handed to me, put on my shoulders. All right, boy, see you later. I was like, man, I got this jacket. I'm like mayor here. And I look down, I go, oh.

[Evan]

We should google that.

[Pat McAfee]

We gotta google that.

[Ty Schmidt]

Do that with my homes headband too.

[Pat McAfee]

We gotta google that. What's that? Sorry, What?

[Ty Schmidt]

There's a couple memes going around. Yeah. And one of the. One of them was Mahomes's headband.

[Pat McAfee]

It's the Tennessee state flag.

[Gumpy]

Yeah, ab.

[Pat McAfee]

But we same exact reaction as you immediately. Cuz I stood up here, I'm like, all right, here we go. Final hour. And I looked at. I'm like, no way.

[Ty Schmidt]

What is that?

[Pat McAfee]

No way am I. Could you imagine? Could you imagine that? Whoa.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Is it on there now? Is it on the jacket?

[Pat McAfee]

It's Tennessee flag, brother.

[Jim Harbaugh]

That's a bit scary actually, when I glance at it.

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah. Yeah. You're telling me. Not gonna lie.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Yeah, that's good. Show the back of that.

[Pat McAfee]

Legalized country music. God damn it. Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Geez.

[Pat McAfee]

Could you imagine you.

[Gumpy]

Toss into the crowd?

[Pat McAfee]

Yeah.

[Jim Harbaugh]

It seemed Parker. I see Parker's throwing Out like tons and tons of thousands picks the whole show.

[Pat McAfee]

Why should. Yeah, I agree.

[Gumpy]

Show me.

[Jim Harbaugh]

You're welcome to catch one.

[Pat McAfee]

He's so jocked. Jordan Davis. Great work this weekend with Bob Dirk down there. Game day. A good song played good down there. The two. I think they need to add a. We need to play a song some.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Pizzazz or juice it up.

[Pat McAfee]

No, I mean let's get a. Yeah.

[Evan]

We can get a full company Nick.

[Jim Harbaugh]

Cannon in there to put the drums maybe.

[Pat McAfee]

I mean if we get Nick Cannon play drum. Sure. I'm sure Jordan has. We get a drum. You don't have need a full Miles Tyler. Bingo. That would be great. We've seen a little, you know, something you know pop. Because you can. Let's get the out of here. We like the Ram. You like the Dolphins.

Absolutely.

Long sleeve shirt. Yeah. I don't have any other clean clothes, so. Shout out. Whoever sent this in really saved me today. About five minutes before the show went live, I realized quickly I don't have any clothes here. This one was here. Very thankful.
