Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this watt Wednesday, October 29, 2025. This program begins right now.

A
It's magical. And I'll tell you what, it might be Watt Wednesday, but I think we're gonna call it good for you. Aiden Hutchinson, Wednesday. Yeah. Hell yeah. Aiden Hutchinson. The Michigan man, you know, obviously led Michigan back to where Michigan Wolverines fans could be proud of the championship squad that they had. And a Michigan man did it. This handsome blonde haired, absolute animal was then drafted to the Detroit Lions and what has he been since then? An absolute terror. Gets injured. So the Detroit Lions aren't able to do their like pay super early to their pillar guys so they don't get caught up on breaking barriers of what money needs to be in places. They've actually built this roster through a lot of trust, with a lot of players and a lot of money. $141 million guaranteed to Aiden Hutchinson. It is the largest non quarterback guaranteed contract in the history of the NFL. Micah Parsons had 100, 136 million. Miles Garrett, 123.6 million. Bosa 119.9. Jamar Chase. Obviously we watch him break the bank with the Cincinnati Bengals and Aiden Hutchinson, $141 million guaranteed over four years. Congratulations to him, his family, the Detroit Lions and also his doctors and training staff that got him back from such a gruesome injury. And whenever we were trying to watch and see when he was going to get back, there was always the conversation about the contract. What are the Lions going to do? What are the Lions going to do? Even this morning, whenever it was announced that Aiden Hutchinson got a brand new new deal with the Detroit Lions, the numbers weren't released. So that automatically led into speculation like oh, is it incentive based because maybe in case he gets injured, did he give a hometown discount because he's from Michigan? Did he say I understand the situation, I don't need as much as everybody else. Turns out he gets the most guaranteed in the history of non quarterbacks which he has earned, which we're very thankful for. But also it feels like they're going to be able to make moves with this. Now this is obviously anytime you get a deal done with one of your stars, you can salary cap gymnastics this thing and he's probably going to be a Lion for the next 10 years. This is just getting it all started for them in a big money way. Congrats, Aiden Hutchinson. Let's go to the back. A man who's a Detroit Lions fan through and through has been through it all. Back whenever they were just a team that played on Thanksgiving, everybody watched them get their asses kicked. And back when they were the team that just found incredible ways to lose all the time. Now they're the team that has pillars all over the place and they're back in the running. Congratulations, Foxy, on this Aiden Hutchinson deal and the state of the brand new Lions. How do you feel, brother? This is amazing. What a time to be alive. Like you said, Pat, Aiden Hutchinson was the chosen one. Born in Michigan, goes to Michigan and then when The Lions go 313 and one terrible season, who's sitting there? Number two overall? Aiden Hutchinson is. And it's no coincidence. Ever since we drafted him, now we're winning playoff games. Now we're playing great. Now we're the brand new Lions. He has been amazing. He's everything you want as a football team. He's everything you want as a fan. I'm so happy for him. And I've already given mcdc and Jared Goff a statue. Aiden Hutchinson, keep doing what you're doing. I'm going to give you one next. Oh, you might get a statue. Yes, sir. Wow, Foxy. Statues popping up all over Detroit. In the back there, that's Bruce. Nick is on the audio. And then you got Gumpy suited and booted for the U. Obviously he's also massive Dolphins fan. Can't wait for the uniform he wears tomorrow as the Dolphins are going to play on Thursday night. The toxic tables here at Boston, Connor and at Ty Schmidt, one half of the Hammer Dad Cowboys AP Tony's here and 12 year NFL vet, the host of in the Trenches. Top five, top five, top five, top five,. Each week, ladies and gentlemen, Super bowl champion AQ. AQ. Obviously you're playing center. You're not dealing with the boys on the outside. Aiden Hutchinson gets $141 million guaranteed. What does this say? You think to, you know, Detroit Lions fans? What should we expect from a national fan base perspective on what he's going to do for that defense over the next few years? And also how smart was it? Yeah, let TJ get a deal done. Let's go ahead and let Miles get his deal done. You know what? Hell yeah. Let's get Micah get his deal done. Now you got comps all over the place. Comes in in the overall number under Micah, but over TJ and Miles. So it's, you know, feels like he could have won a little bit more if you really wanted to stick it to him, they get a big deal done. How do you feel about this and what are your thoughts on Aiden Hutchinson, the player?
- [04:21]
C
Yeah, they drafted him number two overall for a reason. They love the guy. He's out of Michigan, he's a hometown boy. He's obviously, in my opinion, a tear down from those top guys that you said. But because of where he gets the contract done, he ends up getting that crazy money. But again, he's, he's like a Kyle Vanden Bosch.
- [04:39]
A
Sure, we love Kyle Vanden. Love Kyle Vanden. I think a lot of people. And if he starts wearing the red context, that'll certainly be something. But Aiden, obviously, I think not many people are talking about him the same way they're talking about, you know, Miles and TJ and Micah because he wasn't playing, you know, he got hurt. So now we're all getting reintroduced to the Aiden Hutchinson experience. He's a beast. Has been since he got there. And he walks around gallon of water. This guy takes care of himself all day, every day. Toad.
- [05:06]
D
Yeah, we watched him in those, those prep videos, those workout videos and we were absolutely stunned by that. Now, I mean, you let him get up field on you and then hit him on the screen pass at, at super bowl radio Ro.
- [05:16]
A
Which that was before he got to the NFL.
- [05:17]
E
That's a good point.
- [05:18]
A
Was very, very impressive, which is why.
- [05:19]
E
He might have went number two.
- [05:21]
B
Yeah, two.
- [05:22]
A
Trayvon Walker goes number one. Remember Aiden Hutchinson potentially going to go number one. Everybody thought he was going to go number one to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Detroit Lions sitting in number two. Draft day. Trayvon of Georgia, I believe, goes to Jacksonville. Now all of a sudden the Michigan man is sitting there for the Detroit Lions and Holmes and mcdc and Sheila for HAMP are sitting there going, holy hell. This seemingly always works out for us. I love what this team has done up there in Detroit. I mean, getting their guys, paying their guys and continuing to have a success, that's not something that's easily done here in the 2025 NFL because once you start paying people, usually you got Rob, Peter Figurative, Rob, Aiden. Yeah, okay. To pay any of the other dudes that are on the Detroit lines that they've paid in almost a billion dollars of contracts or whatever to the nine pillars that they have there. Somehow they've been able to manage it all. Great work by the Detroit Lions, you know, and modern Lions are really good. Yes. These brand new Lions are awesome. They're doing everything that, you know, we would want our team to do. If you're an NFL fan. What the Detroit Lions have done is exactly what you would want your team to do. They've taken on the identity of the city, clearly. Okay. They're their own team. They've been through it. They're an entertaining brand of football. And then they will fight you. They will actually fight you. And the head coach's traps are somehow getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and they say they never see them work out, so I have no idea what that is. You got one of the most electrifying players in the backfield wearing number zero, and he's dressing up as Jeff Hardy for Halloween. Yeah, he's next. Okay, so you got Jameer Gibbs dressing up like Jeff Hardy for Halloween. And first of all, the entire team's at the Halloween party, which, even more so representing for the Detroit Lions. But this is what you would want. Your franchise, everything they have done, including paying their guys a lot of money, all their guys, and still keeping them around, still keeping everybody, losing coordinators, being able to replace them from within. It's like they are almost the model of what an organization is supposed to be, which is crazy to think of. If you were to just back six years for what they were, that's a beautiful thing up there in Detroit, and obviously not great for the NFC north tie.
- [07:29]
E
Yeah, without a doubt. But, you know, I think everyone, like, you actually can be happy for Lions fans in this instance. And if you're a fan of, like, another team who really sucks right now, like, it's always cliche, but, like, it. This just goes to show, like, getting the right people in there, like, obviously is much harder set, you know, done than said. Like, it's not easy to find the right people, but, like, they have. I mean, for my entire life, for, you know, 30 years of my life, the Lions sucked. You know, yeah. They had Barry Sanders there early, but then, like, they were the laughing stock of the NFL for almost 30 years. And then all of a sudden, they get the right people in there. They start hitting on their draft picks where in years past they haven't. And they're paying all the guys they drafted and developed. So, like, yeah, if. If you're a Lions fan, you have to feel like you're, you know, over the moon right now. And if you're a fan of one of these other teams who's, like, really in a rut, like, he just goes to show you, like, hey, it can be done.
- [08:20]
A
Who is the football guy that they put in there to be the consultant?
- [08:23]
F
Spielman.
- [08:24]
A
Spielman. What a great work sorry. Go ahead, Conor.
- [08:26]
B
0 It's incredible. Like the Patriots is exactly what I want them to do. That, that the Lions are doing right now. Like it's a different position. But Christian Gonzalez is a guy who's about to be up similar to Hutch. I want, you know, hopefully they do what the Lions have done. Pay a guy like that. The Patriots paid their nickel cornerback yesterday, but you know, a little lower. Like you want to take care of those top, top dudes and like, maybe they're not in that tier immediately, but when you look at Hutch's age and all that, like he will get there. I think we all believe in and I do think we need to go back to Peyton Manning and Jeff Daniels.
- [08:59]
A
Reversing the curse during the whiskey bath.
- [09:02]
B
Yeah, whiskey bath. That, that kind of. If you look at all, I think that was before they hired mcdc and then that happened and then it, it's kind of turned everything around. So I don't know if some of these teams, I won't say the Browns are cursed because we know what they did. That's not a curse, that's just stupidity.
- [09:17]
A
But to, to what you're saying there. Aiden Hutchinson just got $141 million guaranteed on Contra. Hey, one more time. Hey, man. Hey.
- [09:27]
E
Yeah.
- [09:27]
A
Hey, good for you, buddy. That's the largest guarantee for a non quarterback. The largest quarterback guarantee. 141 for Aiden Hutchinson. 230 million. DeSean Watson with Cleveland Browns. Oh, yeah, that's. I think we're about 10 years out from that one.
- [09:42]
E
Getting top right.
- [09:44]
A
The bell is going to have to continue to go and once again that Moeta able to get these types of deals done. Now you start looking around, you know, trade deadlines right around the corner. Can you put those top paid defensive ends in the entire league? There you start. Now the, the graphic, the full graphic one that we have there. Boom, there it is. Okay, so Michael Parsons, obviously he's very happy with the Green Bay Packers. T.J. watts, Pittsburgh Steeler through and through. Exactly one helmet guy. And speaking of helmet, Miles Garrett's throwing his helmet and he's got five sacks now. Miles Garrett wrote a letter to the world and said, I don't want to do this here. I don't want to be known as a good player. I want to win big games, he said. And allegedly took a little bit of a shot at Andrew Barry who said something along the lines about being good football player as opposed to being a good football. Whatever the case is. We know that that happened has him won't even take a meeting with the guy. Hey, the owner said, I'm not doing it. I'm on me one. What are you talking about? Next day, 40 million a year. You got it? Okay. They lock him in there. And then Miles Garrett says, all right, I'm here. I'm having a good time. Then he gets five sacks at a game. They just get the absolute break. He has the best game he could possibly. Historic game. Franchise record setting game. Enough to shut down red zone channel. Okay, normally about offense. Let's go ahead and showcase something that's happening over here. Teams losing, but Miles Garrett's got five sacks during that clip. Miles Garrett throws helmet spikes off ground, and they're celebrating him across the way. Go, man. You had the best game that you could possibly have out here. So obviously everybody's saying, hey, Miles, this is what you signed up for, buddy. Zombie spiking helmets. You knew that when you wrote the letter, took the letter down, then took that big old check to the big old bank, and you decided that this is what you were going to do for the bad old Browns. Now, on that note, trade deadlines right around the corner. Spot track put out a an entire list of what Myles Garrett's contract would actually be worth if a team was to trade for him. I got some bad news for, like, Browns fans. This contract kind of looks tradable. Yeah, kind of looks tradable if we could find it. It's a Spotrek tweet. There it is. Boom. 2025, 1.2 million for the rest of the season. 2026, Myles Garrett, $8.1 million cap. 2027, $16.1 million cap hit. 2028, 21.4. Once again, $141 million guaranteed is what was paid to Aidan Hutchinson right there in 2029. Who knows what the league's gonna be? Yeah, who cares? That is half a decade, okay? Apple hasn't even got into it, okay? Apple hasn't got. Amazon's just kind of dabbling. We got Black Friday and we got Thursday Night Football. Netflix is doing Christmas, but there's going to be a super duper middle of the season Wednesday night that's going to come around the corner. That's going to be streaming on YouTube. Maybe just YouTube in there. In 2029, we have no idea what the cap's going to be. We have no idea what the normal number is going to be for any of these positions, especially at defensive. Enter pass rusher. Then it's at 57.9 million, which is crazy, but Once again, you got a lot of time to renegotiate, especially if this game. So it's a, it's a very interesting time at the top of the defensive end board because Aiden Hutchinson happy. Micah now happy.
- [12:53]
E
Yeah.
- [12:54]
D
Very, very happy.
- [12:55]
A
Tj, Pittsburgh Steeler happy. We would assume they have a winning record. Are they going to win a Super Bowl? I don't know. You're saying they shouldn't be happy. He needs to be mad. He needs to not be happy about it. Miles Garrett now popp up in trade conversations. Hilarious. And you know who wants them the most?
- [13:08]
C
New England?
- [13:09]
A
This guy.
- [13:09]
E
Yes, we do.
- [13:11]
A
Oh my God. He was a Mad Max coming to New England. Then the report. Davis is not going to trade Max Crosby. All right, all right. Miles Garrett coming to New England. And there was some moves made by the New England Patriots last night. New England Patriots trade away two players in a couple seventh round picks for six round picks in return from the 49ers and the Steelers as they trade away Keon white to the 49ers and Kyle Duggar to the Pittsburgh Steelers last night. So the New England Patriots, you know, made some moves yesterday. They extended Marcus Jones for a three year, $36 million deal, which I think you just referenced there. Traded away two guys that are on contract years. Is that what I was hearing?
- [13:48]
B
Yeah, Keon White, he's in his third year, I think rookie guy, probably not resigning him, so just kind of. Sorry.
- [13:54]
A
And then Duggar, what is his situation?
- [13:56]
B
Duggar just, yeah, didn't get time in this scheme. Still really good. I think he was kind of the bright spot of the New England Patriots last year, which are bro Peppers, who also got really good.
- [14:03]
A
But you see these type of moves in the middle of the week with the deadline looming, you think to yourself, wait, are the Patriots gearing up to make a play? Especially with how much salary cap they have open? Right. Is that not accurate?
- [14:11]
B
Yeah, exactly. And if you listen to what Elliot Wolf has said, he's basically come out and said, I think Vrabel has echoed the same sentiment, like, hey, we're not just going to trade for somebody who's going to be great this year. And then, you know, he's gone after this year. It's more so a long term type of trade. So if you're thinking of guys that have long term capability, Myles Garrett's at the top of that list. Max Crosby's obviously on that list. That's a dream. You know, you could throw in Brian Burns on that list just because he's also on, you know bad.
- [14:37]
A
He's going to want a new deal though. He's down there at 28.2. He's on the far right side of that. He almost got bumped. Brian Burns almost got bumped off the graphic. We kept him on the graphic, made everybody smaller. To keep Brian Burns on the graphic. He's not going to be happy. Same with Jha. Josh Hines, he was saying there. Let's to your point about the Patriots though, go to the cap space that's currently available. So you look at the cap space that is currently residing on all these teams. Obviously the Cowboys have a lot because they didn't have to do the Mike it's deal. That would have been vastly different in Jerry Jones's ass too. So we'd have no money and we got no picks. Now we got a bunch of picks, bunch of money. Who likes that? Jerry Jones does. New England Patriots though, sitting atop everybody. I thought there was a floor on an amount of money you have to spend. How are they this far into the season with that much money left? Aq that feels like they're cheating up there in New England already.
- [15:22]
C
I agree. I think there is a floor. I think you do have to. It's going to get spread out amongst the rest of the team if they don't spend that money. So they got to spend it.
- [15:28]
A
Renegotiations happening with everybody. Congratulations. Third string offensive lineman. You score another 125. How much? 130. Well, we need you to take 147,000. This is how much money we need to get out there. There is a floor. I assume they're already at it. That's a lot of money still to have left though, this far into a season, which puts you in a prime position. You would think your team would stink if you have this much cap space available before the deadline. But with the Patriots gearing up, getting a couple six round picks, getting some contracts out the board, freeing up a little bit more money, it does feel like they're potentially cooking for a big play. Does that mean that the trade deadline is about to be bananas? Does that mean that we're about to see another monumental trade? Like whenever we saw Micah Parsons get traded away from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. How's that working out for you guys?
- [16:09]
E
Pretty damn good, I'd say. Pretty damn good.
- [16:12]
A
You guys got a closer.
- [16:13]
E
Yeah, exactly. It's one of those things where like we, we've mentioned it so many times. I get everyone's infatuation with like first round picks, but the Likelihood of getting a Micah Parsons or a Miles Garrett in the, in the first round. Especially like the packers trading their first round pick. Jerry would have had been thinking like, well, we'll, we'll trade him there and then hopefully Jordan Love will blow his knee out. So that'll be a, you know, top five pick. Like them getting Micah signaled, like, hey, we think we're good enough to win a Super Bowl. So you're already as a fan thinking that pick's going to be at the end of the first round. And the likelihood of finding a guy in that spot who's anywhere near as good as Micah Parsons or Miles Garrett, like, it's probably not going to happen.
- [16:51]
A
Think about Miles Garrett in his first ever real big playoff game. Okay, Now, I know they played Steelers whenever Baker was quarterback. They get a big time win. But let's talk primetime AFC championship game. Fourth quarter, third and eight, seven minutes left, up one. You don't think Miles Garrett's getting to that quarterback right there? You don't think that he is? We're taking over an entire game, maybe the entire second half of a game. Miles Garrett, just thinking we witnessed it in person against Colts last year. Now the Colts, different team than they.
- [17:19]
B
Were this year for sure.
- [17:20]
A
Okay. We were a different team then. And obviously it could happen. I watched him take over our entire state. Miles Garrett took over our entire stadium. I mean, it was. They were chanting MVP for him in our stadium. And he was jumping over. Do you remember he jumped over a guy.
- [17:33]
E
Oh, yeah.
- [17:33]
A
He jumped over a guy, ran around a guy, ran through a guy. And they said he had five sacks for the first time this past weekend. I thought he had 10 against. It really was like he was everywhere. He's special. And all eyes are on him now because there's visible frustration in what are the Browns down the road? Who knows? But I don't think it's just him. And especially some of these defensive ends are seeing these deals that are all happening. They're still pissed about it, you know, and your team's bad. There's a chance you can make a play that that's one of those positions that can change the outcome. Joining us now is a guy that did a lot of that.
- [18:02]
G
Hell yeah.
- [18:03]
A
Okay. A lot of this, too.
- [18:05]
B
I'm dancing.
- [18:06]
A
Turn it down.
- [18:07]
B
Yeah.
- [18:07]
A
He was turning down for who? This guy, ladies and gentlemen, Bull Ring of Honor member down there for the Houston Texans. He'll be a first ballot hall of Famer. He's a Walter Payton, man of forever. Ladies and gentlemen, J.J. wall that take you back a little bit standing on that bench in Houston doing the whole thing? Is that. Did I take it back right there?
- [18:31]
F
I think that was against the Colts. I think that might have been against the Colts, yeah.
- [18:35]
A
Every time. Yeah, it felt like it was every time against Colts. You were everywhere, brother. And obviously that is why so many people have respect for you and also why people think you could still get back in the game. We just saw a four years $141 million guarantee. Does that make you think about getting under the squat rack a little differently than you have been as a commentator? And what are your thought on Aiden Hutchinson getting paid? A little bit total less than Micah above TJ in Miles, but the most guarantee for a non quarterback in the history of the NFL. Your thought on the deal and how Detroit got to this with Aiden?
- [19:09]
F
Great, beautiful, well deserved. A guy who does it, plays extremely well, run and pass, impacts the game completely. And also is that perfect fit there in Detroit for everything. Just the mentality obviously playing at Michigan and the whole gambit. So very rare in my, at least in my memory to see such a big deal get done in the middle of a season like that. But very happy to see that he is locked in with the Detroit Lions for a long time because he's perfect for them, they're perfect for him and he's a phenomenal player.
- [19:41]
A
Here's some stats from Hembo on Aiden Hutchinson. He's amassed 29 quarterback pressures this season. That's the second most in the NFL behind Michael Parsons who has 33. He's become the moneytime Micah there with the Green Bay packers, four force fumbles is tied with Joey Bar. Nick Bosa. Joey Bosa. Sorry for the season. Aiden Hutchinson has played 93% of the line snaps this season. Okay. That's the highest rate among defensive linemen. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's Max.
- [20:04]
E
Wait a minute.
- [20:05]
A
Wait, wait a minute.
- [20:06]
B
Excuse me.
- [20:06]
D
I was told.
- [20:07]
A
No, I watched it. Max played the Indianapolis Colts and we were up a lot. He was still out there. His shoes were so cool. It was. Oh, he got injured. Okay, okay. We're talking about an injury. We apologize, Max. That's 100% on us. We are very confused. We thought him. Bill got it wrong. That is not about you, max. That is 100% on what we thought about Hembo. Hutchinson is the third favorite to win defense player of the year this year. Obviously that's what sportsbooks have him shout out to Hembo for that pressures, you know, as a stat. Big deal for a defensive end. Obviously, 29 quarterback pressures this season. What does that signify? The pressure stat, you think? J.
- [20:39]
F
I mean, you know my thoughts on pressures. We're not, we do not have.
- [20:45]
A
What's that?
- [20:46]
F
We do not have consensus on what a pressure is yet in.
- [20:51]
A
Oh, this goes back to PFF ranking and what's.
- [20:54]
F
What. No, no, this goes, this goes just everybody. Like you could, you could, you could take pressures from four different websites and they're going to be four vastly different numbers. Some are doing it by proximity to the quarterback. Like there's all sorts of little things, but they're all different. And so like I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't use pressures on our broadcasts. I don't bring up those numbers because I don't think they're there yet. I do think there will be a point where we get there, but I'm, I'm still a hard stacks guy. I like sacks, I like quarterback hits, I like pressure and I don't like pressure PBUs. I like things that you can actually see what happens and it's a real, actual action.
- [21:37]
A
You already understand Aiden Hutchinson's hands. Incredible. A lot of force fumbles. Obviously that against Derek Henry was what, fourth quarter that was earlier. Huge. Huge to do it all. Congrats, Aiden Hutchinson and the quarterback hating community as a whole. Incredibly happy for you guys. All right, jj, let's talk a little bit about what you have coming up. Another Steelers game, huh? You're on the call for, against who? Who is Steelers playing this weekend?
- [21:58]
F
Colts. Steelers, baby. It's going to be a good one.
- [22:00]
A
Okay, so you got a lot of familiarity with both these teams. That's good news for your preparation going in. Congratulations on that. How do you think this game goes? It's in Pittsburgh, obviously. The Indianapolis Colts right now are a wagon. I mean, we're, we're showing up doing exactly what we're supposed to do every single time. Unreal is right. Especially as a Colts fan. It doesn't feel real with how good this team is, especially Titans, 14 and a half point favor. That could be one that could get close. You know, that's one that could linger a little bit, little bit of anxiety late. Like maybe Cam Ward, who is a dog by the way, watching him live was very impressive. Maybe we give that away. We pound him. That's just what we've been doing. And obviously the Rams are our only loss. Probably should have won that game if we go back. But a lot of learning lessons through it all. And then the Steelers are in the middle of an interesting dynamic where they're going all in for a Super bowl roster wise, doing things that they haven't done before in the offseason, and their fans are saying this is same old bullshit. So what are you j. How do you. How do you view the matchup going in? Very different vibes for teams. I would say very.
- [22:59]
F
I would say very different vibes right now. And very different vibes in Pittsburgh just from a couple weeks ago where they had a chance to potentially put a stronghold on the division. And you think back to that moment to where we are today and what that division looks like, especially if the Ravens get a win on Thursday night. The vibes are just completely different over the course of a couple weeks. But from the Colts standpoint, like I'm just this morning I was going through the film again and if you just look at it from a defensive coordinator's standpoint and you're like, all right, how am I going to break this down for my guys and make it easy for them to understand so we can stop this offense? You are just drinking through a fire hose, man. They run all different motions. They go. They run their playbook out of shotgun or they run it out of under center. They run it out of condensed formations or they spread it out. They can run the ball with Jonathan Taylor or they can run an RPO that looks exactly the same and slip the ball in behind to Pittman. They have Alec Pierce, who can run down the field and run these different routes and go up and catch the ball. They have Tyler Warren who they can scheme completely wide open so that he can just catch the ball and run, or he can make tough, contested catches. There is just a million different ways. And then, oh yeah, to top it all off, their offensive line can block for 15 seconds and give Danny Dimes all day long to protect. Like, you look for tendencies, you look for tips, you look for all these different things in an offense to find an advantage. And Shane Steichen just keeps you on edge at all times because there's just no way to know what they're going to do. And they can do it out of anything.
- [24:28]
A
It's.
- [24:28]
D
It's.
- [24:28]
F
They're very, very well run operation.
- [24:31]
A
Yeah, I. In our defense, obviously, we got a couple of situations, but hopefully Moody will be back soon after the pregame concussion. That just can't be happening. Obviously, Lou Anarumo's defense has obviously added a spark for us as well, but with what Jonathan Taylor's doing and what that offensive line's Doing that makes Danny Dimes his life a lot easier, obviously. But he doesn't miss this guy. Danny Dimes doesn't. We're watching. It's like every throw seemingly the right place. And if it's a miss, it was on purpose. Like every other ball is like catchable, if that makes sense.
- [24:59]
F
J.J. yeah, but, and I, I absolutely agree. And he's the perfect guy for that because he's going to go through the progression. He sees exactly what's open, he's going to deliver it. But you watch even just some of these clips, like guys are wide open. Like, there are some, there's some good contested catches. I think this one to Warren is a good contested catch. But there are some guys that are just nobody within 20 yards because they do such an incredible job. And you have to respect the run so well that then it puts you in a blender when comes to the pass game. And then if you do throw a contested one, oh yeah, Michael Pittman's just going to make just the most insane, weird catch of all time.
- [25:34]
A
Like, yeah, it's, it's.
- [25:36]
F
They got it going. And then you go against the Steelers, who Bucker Kraft has 143 yards, two tubs, Jamar Chase a couple weeks ago, goes for whatever, 700 catches.
- [25:45]
A
Like, oh, no, it's. Here's some Hemo stats against the Steelers defense the last two weeks. 22 drives, 49 first downs, what? Seven touchdowns, six field goals, six punts. Not bad. Three punts per game. That's not good. A couple sacks, zero turnovers. And then Hembo asked that question at the bottom. Diggs, I don't like it. Whoa. Colts go vaporize this team.
- [26:05]
C
What?
- [26:06]
A
And on that note, Colts, you guys suck, okay? I told Danny Dimes that yesterday. I need to let this Colts offense know. You guys are disgusting to watch. I'm thinking about refunding my tickets like I was last year because I'm tired of watching the Sovereigns. On that note, boy, it'd be great to get a winner of the Steelers. Every time I played the Steelers as an Indianapolis, it went bad, very bad, very quickly. So we would like the Colts maybe do a little this is a 10 year get back maybe for the Colts. Now on that note, Pittsburgh Steelers fans, is there shit that you see and obviously your brother's a massive piece and component of it. Can they turn this thing around on defensive side? Can they become a team that they thought they were going to be coming into the year? DK seemingly making plays. Aaron's not playing terrible. They Got stars all over the field on the defensive side. They got a lot of money on the defensive side, and it seems like they're just swish cheese. Can that get fixed in the middle of a season? J, what are your thoughts?
- [27:01]
F
It can, yeah. I mean, I think they. They have to play better than they're playing right now. I mean, like, we, we have all the stats for this game, obviously, and we're going through them. And quarterbacks playing against them currently have the number one fastest time to throw. They're getting the ball out to open receivers very quickly, and the Steelers have the second fastest time getting to the quarterback. But they're just like, it's, it's. It's tough, man. There's guys open. The run game hasn't obviously. It opened up against the Bengals a little bit, which then opened up the pass game, and Jamar had his big day. The tackling has been a bit of an issue here. And then obviously you lose to Sean Elliott, who is a phenomenal player in both the run and in the communication, everything that goes on the back end. So it's. It's been a tough time. They have to get it corrected. And it's. You just can't give up 143 yards, two tugs to the tight end right after you gave up all those yards of Jamar Chase. Like, if you're looking at this as your Tyler Warren, you're just selling, elevating.
- [27:57]
A
Yeah. Yep. Yep. All right. Let's not think about too much. Let's not pull out in the universe too much. Okay. Because now, granted, we're 14 and a half point favorites. Last weekend didn't matter. No, it's a different. This is brand new Colts. It is.
- [28:08]
B
Hell, yeah.
- [28:08]
A
Some of the same pieces. Brand new Colts.
- [28:11]
B
Not a lot of teams have covered those big spreads this year, too, across the board.
- [28:14]
A
Just teams in general, team sports in general. It is not easy to be that much of a favorite mentally. It's not that easy to be that big of a favorite and then show up and do it because the other team knows that they're that much of a dog as well. It's just, I think it's a good exposure of your culture. I think, personally I said that on game day because there's a lot of, like, low profile games in college, and it's like, hey, these good teams not playing, like, really good teams. I think it exposes your culture here in these games, how they go. And I think you can learn a lot about your team. And I think for us last week for the Colts, it was that with the Titans. We're also learning a lot about maybe.
- [28:49]
F
Maybe the Steelers put on like their regular uniforms again and they turn back backed into good. Because that was.
- [28:55]
G
Those were.
- [28:55]
B
Those were.
- [28:56]
F
That was. I don't know if you can play good enough.
- [28:58]
A
What was your tweet? Simply the worst unis that have ever. What it. What was it exactly?
- [29:03]
F
You said, oh, yeah. Somebody said, do you like these uniforms? And I said, no, they're quite easily the worst uniform on a field this season.
- [29:10]
A
Not just this season. I appreciate you stopping it this season. I don't know if you had another.
- [29:14]
F
One because there's been some bad ones. I. I didn't want to go lifetime. But it. They're. They're in the discussion Russian.
- [29:19]
A
They're in the rushmore of ass goonies in the history. Go ahead, Pat.
- [29:24]
D
What color uniforms do the Colts wear on the road?
- [29:28]
A
Well, I don't know.
- [29:28]
D
Is it all white?
- [29:30]
A
Yeah, normally. Yeah. So we're wearing.
- [29:32]
D
The packers wore all white. Bangles were all white. It's just they can't cover kryptonite.
- [29:38]
A
Oh, say it on the broadcast stage.
- [29:42]
G
Say it.
- [29:42]
D
You can use that on the broadcast.
- [29:43]
A
Hey, the Colts do wear white Spanx too, don't they?
- [29:45]
H
Yeah.
- [29:46]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [29:46]
A
Yes.
- [29:47]
C
I used to hate. Used to call me the Michelin Tire man whenever I was.
- [29:50]
A
They put INQ in a bad spot. These things were not. And then his belly button. Oh, I hate the all white. The Colts had the whitest of all whites since the beginning of time, too. Tradition. I'm like, can we get a little just around here, Indiana, Just something like that. Yeah, I guess. Tradition.
- [30:06]
F
You guys should test out how good you are. You got to bring back the midnight dark jerseys and see if you can still win wearing those down there. Then you know you're a true wagon. If you can wear those and win, then you're good at noon on a Sunday.
- [30:21]
B
Indiana.
- [30:22]
E
Indiana nights.
- [30:23]
B
It's the Indiana nights, G. Yeah.
- [30:25]
A
It's not midnight blues, you son of a.
- [30:27]
C
Whatever.
- [30:29]
A
Nights. She grew up tall and she grew up right with the Indiana boys on the Indiana nights.
- [30:38]
F
What has that jersey been through? That thing looks like it has been through a lot.
- [30:41]
A
Yeah. I don't know how much dust. A lot of dust. That's what. That's what it's about, though. Yeah. That's Indiana knot, brother. It's tough time. It's a tough time and a good 10, you know, that's what it's all about out here. They're talking about weed in that Song so that's why I really like that jersey. But on that note. Yeah, can't be wearing at one o' clock in the afternoon whenever it's in Indiana nights. But we had no prime time games. Should have kept that one in the holster for this season. Would have been amazing. Now, talking about this season, it hasn't been a huge story as often as maybe like three years ago. Three years ago it felt like we talked about it every single week. Yeah, this. This year, though, it's been kind of a slow build here because there's been a lot of very obvious shit. Go ahead, con man.
- [31:19]
B
Yeah, J. Obviously the refs have been a big thing so far this year. The tush push, everything. Dan Orlofsy mentioned it earlier in the week, but I did also want to ask you about the virtual measurement from Monday Night Football. Foxy has the video here and it seemed to go over well. It was one of those things where Ertz on a fourth down, he just kind of, you know, gets there. But it's very close. I mean, from the first look, it looks like he's got the first down. But you go to the virtual measurement and, you know, this is what they come up with. And it did seem as though he was short in the moment. But of course people have their, you know, opinions about the Chiefs being on primetime and that whole entire thing. But do you see the virtual measurement kind of lasting? Do you think that it will work? I saw people mention how, you know, this doesn't matter because, you know, human refs are still placing the ball, so does the virtual measurement. And take that into account, what are kind of your thoughts about this and just everything that's been happening the past couple weeks?
- [32:17]
F
Yeah, this is before the season. This was a huge discussion point for all of us, obviously, in the broadcast world, just because of how it was going to be handled and discussed and everything. And the one point that I don't think people. I think people are starting to understand it, but that don't fully understand is that it is only virtually measuring where the ball is after its place. There is no. This isn't a chip in the ball situation where, you know, it's where would it is knee go down and where was the ball at that exact moment? None of that. Literally the refs are still placing the ball and then the only thing that's happening is the technology is figuring out did that ball cross the line to gain or not? That's it. So I think that people are probably be a little like, wait a second, it's not actually telling us if he got the first down or not. It's only where they spotted it. So that's. That's where a lot of discrepancy comes in. And I also think that's probably why you haven't seen virtual measurements quite as much this year. There's been a lot more kind of just. It's a first down. Keep it moving, keep the game moving. We don't need to stop it for this virtual measurement, but it's. It's really interesting. That was the big thing. Takeaway for us in the. In the beginning of the season. It was, oh, okay, so this is just a chain gang without bringing the chain gang out. That's all.
- [33:34]
A
Yeah. And hopefully they continue to evolve that. Just, like they make changes like the kickoff rule. Too many people were way too comfortable saying they know exactly what five inches is, though. Did you see that? Oh, yeah.
- [33:44]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [33:45]
E
A lot of people.
- [33:45]
A
It felt like a very specific group of people were saying, yeah, it does.
- [33:49]
F
Look like five inches.
- [33:50]
A
Yeah.
- [33:52]
B
Makes you think four is pretty big.
- [33:56]
A
Five inches was the perfect amount. Shout out Hawkeye. We appreciate him doing that, but. Yeah, remember, they tried Hawkeye. What was that? Last year? And it took, like, 45 minutes. It was the Lions. I think MCDC was on there. We're like, we're not doing this. And the NFL said, we're not doing this Now. It's a little bit quicker, but it's. After the ball is spotted. I assume we'll continue to get to a point where it's, like, in motion. Where's it at? Live tracker. That's all what we're hoping for, right? We're all in the same.
- [34:23]
F
I feel like it's gotta. It can't be that far away. Like, I. I have no idea how technology works, so I'm not gonna, like. I know, but feel like we've got some pretty incredible stuff out there. At some point, we're going to be able to know, like, we'll stop it as soon as his knee hits the ground. Just tell us, where's that ball at that moment.
- [34:40]
E
Yeah, it's not waterproof yet. Remember, it rained and they were like, nah, the whole thing doesn't work.
- [34:45]
B
Yeah, that's right. And you put it down.
- [34:47]
F
The big thing that they've said is it doesn't go through the bodies. So if you're in a pile, push, push, for example, that's when we don't.
- [34:53]
A
Need it the most. Yeah.
- [34:58]
D
That'S a Hawkeye.
- [34:59]
F
I still don't understand, like, that Whole play we had our game going, so I didn't get to see it. But. So you're just telling me like the second forward progress is done, you can no longer have a fumble. So nobody could ever fumble. Moving backwards in the history of sport.
- [35:14]
A
Well, and then here's another follow up question. Bruce Brown, New York Giants fan, asked, so is the tush push stopped whenever his forward momentum stops the first time? Because if it's going to be the first time, he stops every single time.
- [35:26]
F
Yeah, then, then you can't. Yeah.
- [35:28]
A
If it's gonna, if it's gonna be blown dead the first time he stops. Because the tush push is kind of a ha. And then. Aha. You know, that is always what the tush. That's kind of the push part of it.
- [35:39]
E
Yeah.
- [35:39]
A
You know, hey, stop. Yeah, right. We're gonna power through that. So them saying that forward progress was stopped. It's like, well, every play on the tush push, I think there's a move exactly of stoppage. So it's just. Yeah, this is not. Everybody's talked about it. By the way, BA comes on the show yesterday. He's like, ah, I won't talk about that tush push. You come on. Here it is. It's like, yep, gotta talk about that. It's like Dan Orlovsky's like, I don't normally have a. It's like everybody in sports is like, hey, we're done with this. Basically, we gotta figure this whole thing out. I think now everybody's attention towards it is the refs have no idea what to do with it. So if the refs have no idea what to do with it, we can't do it. It used to just be. It was an ugly play. It's a stupid play. It's not a football play play. Now the angle is the refs don't even know what to do with it. So it's.
- [36:21]
F
But this one I don't even get why is specific to the tush push. Like, because I understand, like everybody wants to push, push dead. And I, I get that. But this, this doesn't matter if this was the tush push or not. This is just a football play that was misrefereed. Yeah, like, like, like you said, like they could if they stop him right there. But he lunges again, he has a first down. So why, why was this even a discussion? Like if a receiver was doing this out on the edge and got stopped, but then reached the ball out and fumbled, like, I, I don't know. Whatever, Whatever, dude.
- [36:52]
A
Whatever.
- [36:53]
F
Dude, refs have a hard job. Sure.
- [36:55]
B
May 26th. May 2026.
- [36:57]
A
Yeah. That's when the refs union deal is up with the NFL. So we might have a replacement ref situation brewing.
- [37:01]
F
Oh, great.
- [37:02]
A
Or maybe we have a. A different pool of people potentially getting in. Have you heard my pitch for the. I don't want to say it's mine. I'm sure other people have thought about it. I'm not going to act like I was the first person to ever think about it, but I've been pushing it for a while. While. We should have a broadcast boot camp thing for officiating for ex players.
- [37:21]
F
Oh, you mean players become officials.
- [37:23]
A
Yeah. Like an academy.
- [37:26]
B
Like the guy who protected jsn.
- [37:28]
A
Yeah. Because that was when Nate Jones.
- [37:33]
G
What.
- [37:35]
F
What positions would be the best at refereeing?
- [37:38]
A
Punter, Kicker. Now.
- [37:40]
F
Oh, yeah. Because you guys, big guy, weren't doing anything to start with. You guys weren't doing a whole lot to start with. So you've had plenty of time study.
- [37:47]
A
Wow. First of all, we understand situational football better than everybody else on the team. Second of all, we've watched a lot of ball and also get along with every relationship, every single position. Now what I'm going to miss out on is exactly what we want players to kind of be in there for. So I wouldn't have the feel, you know, like, I think BA talked about an ex safety. There was a safety that was like a back judge, a deep judge, back.
- [38:11]
G
Judge or something would be great.
- [38:12]
A
Yeah. He said he was incredible because he knew like literally he was just back there backpedaling. Literally just kind of seeing it.
- [38:19]
F
And I'm not saying a player take his bias out of it though. Could a safety be okay throwing a flag on pass interference? Because he's like, nah, I think. I think that's okay.
- [38:27]
A
That's why they go to the academy. They. They go to the officiating academy to get beat down, get all their biases out. You know, if you're an offensive lineman.
- [38:35]
F
Yeah.
- [38:35]
A
You're going to have to call hold every once in a while when the fatso grabs somebody. Okay. You're going to have to do that.
- [38:39]
F
Yeah.
- [38:39]
A
You would not though.
- [38:41]
E
Would be the worst.
- [38:42]
A
Yeah. Offensive lineman cannot be. That is actually a funny thing. No offensive lineman except accepted into the officiating academy.
- [38:49]
C
Do you know when I wouldn't call a hold whenever the chop happens? I would never call a hold on the chop. I think JJ would agree with that.
- [38:55]
F
The chop. I agree 100. The snatch.
- [39:00]
C
Yeah.
- [39:00]
F
Is definitely a hold.
- [39:01]
A
You see because you're actually, like, grabbing.
- [39:04]
C
Grab.
- [39:04]
F
Go ahead.
- [39:05]
C
I agree. Like, if you grab the V, you're saying, like, grab the V if you.
- [39:08]
F
Grab the V, or if you grab the outside, like the shoulders and pull down. But the chop. Absolutely. That's on us. It sucks. It's very hard to play against. But not a hole.
- [39:18]
C
By the way, I was a big grab.
- [39:19]
F
Did you catch the bigger house?
- [39:22]
C
No, haven't yet.
- [39:23]
A
Okay, on that note, we'll pivot away from football. I guess. If you know who these guys are, let us know. These guys stole $10,000 worth of Halloween decorations from AQ Shipley's front yard at 12:14am the other night.
- [39:38]
F
A huge $10,000.
- [39:40]
A
Wow.
- [39:41]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [39:41]
A
Just look at the big guy right there. Here's another one. They're, like, left. I mean, obviously he decorated the house too well. These kids saw and said, damn.
- [39:48]
F
What scumbags.
- [39:50]
E
Goddamn delinquents.
- [39:51]
A
These kids aren't. Now, kid on left is about to break an entire decoration over here. It's about to drop and hit a cement thing pretty loud. Maybe wake up the neighborhood and. Oh, no. Let me get the hell out of here. Kid on the right. Oh, no, I forgot my phone. Can't leave any evidence. Give me. Oh, is it here? Where? Oh, is that everything?
- [40:07]
F
Take off my mask.
- [40:08]
A
Get the hell out of here.
- [40:09]
E
Steph.
- [40:09]
A
See your later. Hey, Q. We hope you get them. You know, I'm gonna get them because normally you have the AQ takeaways. We actually described that one as the AQ's taken aways. What a graphic. It's a good graphic.
- [40:26]
C
That's a good graphic.
- [40:28]
A
Yeah. The takeaways.
- [40:30]
F
Any information you're headed to a goth punk concert there?
- [40:34]
A
He might be pretty good. Yeah. We're not 100 sure, but he had devil horns on in an earlier rendition of his graphic. I took him off. I didn't think that was for, you know, see. Yeah.
- [40:43]
G
Be more accurate.
- [40:43]
A
Yeah, well. But he's not the devil in this situation.
- [40:46]
C
Oh, that's right.
- [40:46]
A
These little bastard kids are.
- [40:48]
C
That's right.
- [40:48]
A
And I'll tell you what, I was surprised that this generation of kids still had that. I did not know that was still happening out there, okay? I had no idea that was Case.
- [40:56]
F
Those guys look like what? Like high school, maybe college. Like, those are old. Those aren't kids.
- [41:01]
A
Hey, Q, what's your running theory right now?
- [41:02]
C
My running theory is this is some frat from either Grand Canyon University or asu. And guess what? But I'm coming.
- [41:09]
A
I'm coming. They with the wrong guy. His theory. His theory is not that he's. They. He thinks that they want to decorate the frat house. Okay. When you decorate the frat house having Halloween.
- [41:20]
F
Go drive around and find. Find the scully.
- [41:23]
A
And he saw his front yard and was like, holy, look at these. This thing's got everything parked down the street. Obviously all come in banging the bow. They get one of the big boys out, can't take the other one. All this stuff and they get out. That's his working theory. On no evidence. He did scan neighborhood for other ring cameras though.
- [41:41]
C
Oh, yeah.
- [41:41]
A
These kids need to know you are being hunted right now.
- [41:44]
B
Bad move.
- [41:45]
F
Do we have any information besides shirtless white dudes?
- [41:49]
C
Oh, we will it.
- [41:49]
G
We do.
- [41:50]
A
We do have some info. We don't want to give away too much to the kids. Just know you can run but you can't hide. Yeah. AQ is not happy.
- [41:59]
D
He's exhausting every contact he has.
- [42:01]
A
Literally every contact. Remember he was with the seals just a couple years ago them. So maybe they're getting involved in this entire thing. Retracted.
- [42:08]
F
What's the plan if you catch. If like if you drove past the frat house and you saw your skeleton out front, what are you doing?
- [42:14]
A
Taking them to pan one at a time.
- [42:17]
C
He's coming.
- [42:18]
A
All right. The law is coming, boys. His name's A2 Shipley hard. You got my daughter's favorite skeleton in this house? I don't think so. Basically, that is what. Yesterday I facetimed him.
- [42:34]
D
He had full camo on.
- [42:37]
B
All gillied up.
- [42:40]
A
It's a Super bowl.
- [42:41]
F
He's like, hell yeah. Hell yeah.
- [42:42]
A
It was so.
- [42:43]
F
Got a paintball gun on your back.
- [42:46]
E
Paintball.
- [42:47]
A
It's a real thing. He starts getting worked up. Starts getting worked up. His kids are in the car. Once I drop them off at school, I'm going to find these. And I said, what do you. What are you doing? Are you just looking in houses? How are you going to find him? He goes, they got to be local. They were running. I'm like, you don't think they could have a car? They jumped out of the car, down the street, got there. I haven't thought about that yet. See this? I'm going to get to this. I'm going get.
- [43:07]
F
I'm a 12 foot skeleton. Either in the back of a car or on their backs. Like somebody had to see a 12 foot JJ.
- [43:16]
D
He told me this morning he went to neighbors houses, went into their houses to watch their rain footage.
- [43:20]
A
Yeah, he, he's. He's literally Scanning neighborhood, knocking on doors. 12:14am Can I see your ring camera? Not the one, not the one that's shooting out the side. I need, I think the angle. This side. He's Dateline NBC ranger. This guy is date line right now. Prime junkie AQ Shipley. To get to the bottom of the Halloween decorations. Just know, boys, I, you got to get biz.
- [43:41]
F
Get Biz with you down there. He's down there somewhere in Arizona. Get him in, get him involved.
- [43:46]
A
Now the thought is you find them. You, you want them one at a time, right?
- [43:51]
C
You got. I don't want, I don't want to get jumped.
- [43:53]
A
Yeah. So Biz will say, boys, wait in line, please. This is only right. One at a time.
- [43:58]
D
Does a, does a Vanderbos live next to you? Take him with you.
- [44:00]
E
Take him.
- [44:02]
A
Oh, no. These kids have no idea.
- [44:06]
G
If hypothetically, these kids see this segment and the skeleton is potentially returned by this afternoon, is there still comeuppance?
- [44:14]
A
Well, maybe call off the Navy SEALs that are currently hunting them down right in there. In there currently.
- [44:19]
C
Yeah, we might, we might call them off. We might call the dogs off.
- [44:21]
A
They skeleton back.
- [44:23]
C
They better have their face covered because I see that thing getting delivered on my ring cam. I'm coming for them, okay? Every one of them.
- [44:29]
A
All right, well, there's a chance. One, one or all of those kids watch a show. Okay? There's just a chance, no question. Say, I want to say one of.
- [44:39]
F
Them probably tried the field goal kicking contest when they. You're at Arizona State.
- [44:43]
A
We weren't at Arizona State. But on that note, would like to see if those kids are as good of kickers as they are jump over bushers three foot high. Oh, yeah.
- [44:51]
B
Pretty good athlete.
- [44:52]
A
Pretty good at athlete. You might need maybe don't take them to the ground. You know, these kids might check the.
- [44:57]
E
Sports team or teach him a lesson. Break both his legs. Bingo. Such a good athlete anymore.
- [45:01]
B
Yeah, there's a, there's a lesson to be taught here. Whether they return it or not, it's one by one season, baby. You got to knock these down. What if they do it next year?
- [45:08]
A
Look at that big skeleton get dragged out of there. That guy was a staple of your front yard.
- [45:13]
D
What you do.
- [45:14]
C
Definitely broke the face on group right there. I'm not happy. Even if it gets returned, it's definitely broke. I'm still coming for you.
- [45:19]
B
Your kids are crying, right?
- [45:20]
C
Weren't your kids 6, 8am My 7 year old daughter comes in to wake me up and says the skeleton's Gone. And the other one's broke on the front lawn. That's how I woke up yesterday.
- [45:30]
A
How would you wake up?
- [45:33]
B
What would you do?
- [45:35]
A
Line them up, Knock them down. Not happy. These kids have no idea.
- [45:41]
B
No, they don't.
- [45:42]
A
They picked the wrong eye. Yeah, the shipyards in the back. You don't want to mess with anybody that has a shipyard or around it that has an unflushed toilet for four years and he drinks out of it.
- [45:52]
F
They're in a nice guy, does jiu jitsu in billionaires basement. Coming for you.
- [45:57]
A
Wrong guy. All right. Hopefully your skeleton's back. Speaking of being back, let's talk ball. Ty has a question for you.
- [46:04]
E
Yeah, J. A couple weeks ago, after that Monday night game against Seattle, the Texans were kind of left for dead. Basically, everyone's saying, hey, this offense sucks. C.J. stroud has regressed. He's not the guy he was. Their defense is good, but this team is ultimately going nowhere. And then on Sunday, you know, I think everyone. I know the 49ers are banged up, but I think everyone kind of respects what they are. And boy, the Texans kind of made easy work of them. Do you think the. I mean, are we in Texans or back territory? Do you think they're going to make a strong push for the playoffs here or what? Have. What have you thought about this team especially coming off a big win this weekend?
- [46:39]
F
I mean, obviously I hope so. I think they look great. They. They needed this. Now, you're correct. Obviously the 49ers are banged up, so you do have to put that on there. But they have looked pretty good.
- [46:49]
C
Good.
- [46:50]
F
While being banged up and gone out there and beat some good teams. So it was good. It was good to see the offense humming a little bit again and kind of finding their rhythm. We know the defense is great, so if they put it all together and they're able to protect CJ and he's able to stand in the pocket and deliver the ball, they can be a very good football team because that defense is elite.
- [47:10]
E
Elite.
- [47:11]
F
So if they put it together, it will be great. I sure hope that they do, but I mean, it's a very, very, very big mountain to climb in the AFC south. So it's.
- [47:20]
A
Thank you.
- [47:21]
F
Still a lot of time left, but there's certainly. You gotta. You gotta win some games to get into contention here.
- [47:26]
A
Yeah, it's a big mountain.
- [47:27]
B
Yes.
- [47:33]
A
We'Re a mountain. You hear what he said?
- [47:35]
D
Oh, yeah.
- [47:35]
A
Haven't won the AFC South 13 years. Oh, mountains. All of a sudden back rowing here in this very flat city of Indianapolis, Indiana. And that's a shame. Just age. Hopefully they figure it out down there. Talk about being back. Go ahead, aq. Go ahead.
- [47:50]
C
Speaking of climbing the mountains, it doesn't look like it from that graphic because they're the favorites to win the AFC North. But the Baltimore Ravens, are they in must win territory on tomorrow night's game against the Miami Dolphins? And will they be back to who we thought they were with Lamar?
- [48:05]
A
It's a good question.
- [48:07]
F
Yeah, I mean, they. They look so much better this past weekend than they had in a couple previous games. Obviously, we had them against the Texans. Well, where. I mean, they just got annihilated and it wasn't even a contest. So they looked a lot better with Snoop Huntley out there. Patrick Ricard was back. Derrick Henry was running the ball. Their defense played a lot better. Roquan being back making some tackles was really, really good for the defense. Kyle Hamilton being down in the box and being utilized more in the line of scrimmage, picking in the pass rush game and blitzing. And so. So you add Lamar back into that mix and Thursday night, all of a sudden they go from a 1 in 5 team on the potential of being completely out of playoff discussions to now if they can win Thursday, they go into a long weekend with 10 days rest at 3 and 5 with a nice schedule in front of them. In terms of win loss percentage of the teams they have coming up, they're certainly poised to make a little bit of a run here and put themselves in a good spot. And which is why, again, we talked about this at the beginning of. But when the Steelers had that chance to kind of slam the door, they. They didn't.
- [49:15]
A
They left it kind of creaked open.
- [49:17]
F
They left it cracked. Yeah.
- [49:18]
A
Now it's wide open.
- [49:20]
F
You might need to crack a door there with the incense you got going.
- [49:23]
E
What are you talking about?
- [49:24]
A
No, you burn the sage. You keep it in. Yeah, absolutely.
- [49:28]
D
It's hallow weekend.
- [49:29]
A
I didn't know. You can see that, jh. And on that note, I hope everybody gets the evil spirits away from them. Happy Halloween.
- [49:35]
F
It's Halloween. It's a decoration.
- [49:36]
A
Decoration? The sage. No, it's. Yeah, I guess it is a decoration. And it also is an acting agent of happiness and change as well.
- [49:45]
B
Incense in here all the time.
- [49:46]
A
It's not just Halloween season for me with sage, but not a bad time to kind of keep the evil spirits out. Speaking of keeping evil spirits out, this is what Lamar Jackson said yesterday about the big storyline of getting Rid of the ping pong tables in the cornholes out of the locker room. Oh yeah. Anyone else?
- [50:01]
B
I told Kaniko, our head equipment God, told him to take all the games and ping pong. Turn the TVs off.
- [50:09]
A
If we could have took the TVs.
- [50:10]
I
Out, it would have been out too.
- [50:11]
A
But I appreciate Mr. Steve for putting.
- [50:14]
B
That in there for us, you know, but yeah, we had to focus.
- [50:18]
A
I wouldn't say people don't take the.
- [50:19]
B
Job serious, don't get me wrong.
- [50:20]
A
But like, I didn't feel like it.
- [50:22]
B
Was the time for that. You know, we got a lot of work.
- [50:24]
A
We got a lot of work to do.
- [50:28]
B
Keep winning, keep winning, keep winning.
- [50:31]
A
Cuz we not going to have them the rest of the year.
- [50:32]
B
So keep winning. Probably have them next year summertime OTAs or something.
- [50:37]
A
But right now that's not the focus. J. I love to hear that. There was a video coming out. I think Marlon Humphries was live on the plane after a game and go over to Lamar and Lamar is basically like, get that out of my face. I, I love that Lamar is like that. I like that Lamar has come out publicly and been like, yeah, that's all mine. My. Get out. And Mr. Steve, thanks for the TVs. Okay. I really, it's very nice of you to have TVs. We would have been trying to get those off the wall if we could too. What did you hear from Lamar there? Legit. And what are your expectations now going forward?
- [51:07]
F
Yeah, I mean, I, I'm, I, I was, I'm a bit of an old school guy. I like that, Like, I, like, I was kind of that way and I, I understand that there's times in my career as a leader where probably take that a little too far. You have to understand, you know, different motivations or the way guys are led and things like that and have a good pulse on the locker room. But I think when your biggest leader, best player, says, hey, we're cutting out all the. We're just going to focus and win football games. And I know there's a bunch of fans sitting out there saying like, why don't we just do that all the time? Why don't we just come. Always focus on winning and only focus on winning. Like it's, it sounds so obvious when you say it, but it's, it's. I've also seen it go completely the other way where you take that stuff out and then you lose and everybody's like, oh, was it the ping pong tables? Was that why we lost? Like, they're gone now. So it's. But personally, I'm one of those guys where I'm like, when it's time to focus, let's focus. When it's time to have fun, let's have fun.
- [52:04]
A
Well, think about the amount of meeting time that Lamar has too. And then we. They lose a game and Lamar meeting comes in a locker room and a bunch of people who maybe didn't have the best game are in there having a good time. And I'm just going, yeah, right. Yeah, right. Let's. This is not how this. I like that Lamar's at that stage of his career. I didn't know that about Lamar, you know, ne did I.
- [52:25]
F
Neither did I. I think that's.
- [52:26]
A
Yeah, I think it's a good thing.
- [52:28]
F
It's also a big thing to do while you're not playing in that game. Coming up like that. He's like, no, screw this. We're gonna. Don't worry. We. We used to have a counter. What happened? I feel like that just went out the window.
- [52:40]
A
Yeah, we gave up. We tried our best, but really we is who we is. You know, that is. That is just kind of how it goes and all. Also, that one particular word, man, it makes things a lot better, especially, you know, with what the alternative is. And sometimes you got to let one of those fly. What almost letting one of those fly would have been.
- [52:56]
F
Have you ever let one fly on game day?
- [52:58]
A
No respect. That's morning tv. That's morning national television.
- [53:02]
F
You know, like, where are you this week?
- [53:05]
A
Utah, brother. Utah. Cincinnati. Utah. Going out there. First Big 12 game in since last time we were at Utah, I believe. I'm not 100% sure. First Big 12 college game day game in a while. Could have went to the holy war a couple weeks back. You know, I thought that was potentially going to happen. We went to Georgia. Ole Miss instead. Georgia gets huge win over Ole Miss. Now we're going Cincy, Utah. Cincy hot since opening week in Utah. Obviously an absolute wagon. They lose to byu. A lot of people losing to byu. They're obviously in it as well. So yeah, we're heading out there. The mighty Utah student section. The must. They were electric the last time we were out there. Cannot wait to see the beautiful sights.
- [53:41]
B
I thought you guys were going to go to Wisconsin this week. Weekend.
- [53:44]
A
No, that's all right.
- [53:45]
F
All right, all right.
- [53:48]
A
That's only if they're big time donors. Can maybe start getting some good time players. Last question.
- [53:54]
F
Unnecessary shots in the donut shop over there. Calm Down.
- [53:59]
A
Donuts are Thursday.
- [54:00]
B
Prick.
- [54:01]
A
And also calm down. Hey, he's been working out.
- [54:04]
F
Patriots are flying high, and he's feeling good.
- [54:07]
A
Wait till he wants on the trade for Miles. Yeah, last question. Question here. Speaking of Miles, maybe Miles Garrett is the answer to this. Go ahead, tone.
- [54:15]
D
Yeah, JJ, in 2024, I was an AP NFL voter. A lot of people were saying it was the best ballot they've ever seen. So I wanted to ask you about this year. Jonathan Taylor is on.
- [54:26]
E
Thank you.
- [54:27]
B
Hey, good work, Tony.
- [54:29]
D
A lot of people were saying that.
- [54:30]
F
Did the AP voters vote for your AP voting?
- [54:32]
D
Yep, I was at the top.
- [54:34]
A
Wow. Pretty good, right?
- [54:36]
B
Power rankings.
- [54:37]
D
But this year, Jonathan Taylor's on pace for, I believe, 2,400 yards and 31 touchdowns. But, yeah, he's top of the offensive player of the year, you know, betting slip. But he's like seventh or eighth or something like that for. For mvp, which doesn't make sense to me. Does that make sense to you at all?
- [54:58]
F
No, but we've. Well, I guess it does. We've had this conversation many times before, but at some point, we're finally just going to stop and make this, you know, either best quarterback of the year or just say MVP is only a quarterback award because Jonathan Taylor is playing as good as you can possibly play at the running back position right now. Three touchdowns and three games straight. Everything that you've got going. And it's just basically a foregone conclusion. Like, yeah, oh, yeah, he's the offensive player of the year. I was like, well, no, he's the best player in football right now. Like, he's doing unbelievable things. But, you know, my thoughts on it, because I've been in this discussion before, it is physically impossible for somebody to be more valuable than the quarterback because they touch the ball every play. So at some point, let's just make it best quarterback and then offensive player of the year, Defensive player of the year and call the day. Because it's dumb. If we're not going to actually give people an opportunity to be mvp, why have it?
- [55:50]
A
Yeah, but MVP sounds cool. MVP sounds really cool.
- [55:54]
E
It does.
- [55:54]
A
Best Cube.
- [55:55]
I
It does.
- [55:56]
A
Okay. That sounds bqb.
- [55:57]
D
You could grow on you.
- [55:58]
E
Bqb.
- [55:59]
A
Bqb. O o O. That's that. Hey, maybe. Maybe that's the right answer as we go forward. J, we appreciate you, man. Good luck this weekend. Thank you so much for the time. Hey, your soccer team's really good. Espanol.
- [56:12]
F
There it is. This is. Whenever we lose, you're all about it. Last week we both win nothing this week we both win nothing. Try and pick it to the end of the hours. We go straight to commercial nothing. Aspect Espanol Burnley Men Women winning win.
- [56:29]
A
More more.
- [56:30]
E
More, more, more, more.
- [56:33]
A
That's Burnley Espanol football, baby.
- [56:35]
E
Yeah it is.

Hey fans. Welcome back to Fansville's Cheers and tears. Oh, okay, so like everybody deals with losing right to arrival and a last second field goal. Whatever. It's fine. I'm totally fine. But I cope with losing with an ice cream. Cold Dr. Pepper. Mmm. Those 23 flavors are like so delicious. They totally wash away the pain of your college football team taking a big fat L. College football. It's a Pepper thing. Football is magical and so is Halloween. If you got decorations, hang on to them because these college kids are coming for all of them. Like they did to 12 year NFL vet Super bowl champion AQ Shipley.
- [58:47]
E
Baby.
- [58:48]
A
They didn't know who they were messing with aq, did they?
- [58:50]
C
They sure didn't.
- [58:51]
A
Now listen, I will say maybe I knew. These shirtless bandits come in at 12:14am to AQ Shipley's front yard and ransacked the whole thing. Now do they get all the great decorations out of there that AQ has spent a lot of money on because he likes to be the spookiest house in the neighborhood?
- [59:07]
F
Sure.
- [59:08]
A
No, they weren't able to get them all out of there because his contracting skills and his construction skills so good, he hammered these things into the desert. They weren't able to get a 10 footer over here. They were able to get a 10 footer on the other side. And AQ's kids favorite decorations have been stolen by some shirtless assholes in the middle of the night. And these kids, they might have got some other decorations from some other houses. Those other houses probably said, oh, okay, that's it. I guess. Not this guy. No, he's got time. Kids go to school. I go work on Wednesday. I go work on Sunday every other day. Guess what? I got these kids. Good luck to you AQ on your hunt. And we'd like to send a message. Shows boys that they could certainly bring those back overnight.
- [59:55]
I
Yep.
- [59:56]
A
Leave them out there.
- [59:57]
C
Yep.
- [59:57]
A
And everything would be good, right? Everything'd be good. Because it sounded like in the first hour when we broached the subject and maybe getting your back because maybe somebody would show them this. You were like, nope, don't care. When you come back and bring them, I'm gonna be waiting. So we should maybe just at least lie and say, hey, get them to the front yard. Then once they get on your property. I don't know what Arizona's rules are. You could have, you can have a whole cage.
- [60:19]
B
Shut up.
- [60:19]
A
Yeah, one by one, have them walk in there. Maybe some lighting. I'll pay for some lighting. 3:00am, some light, maybe I'll pay for an octagon. Pay for an octagon? Yeah, I'll pay for an octagon going out there.
- [60:28]
C
I'll take that.
- [60:29]
A
Okay. And you'll just sit. You're sitting one by one.
- [60:32]
C
Call it the shark tank.
- [60:33]
A
Okay, Bring them in. Call it the ship tank. Yeah, yeah, call it the ship tank. I love everything about it. Look out for your. Your decorations also. I would never implicate myself, but I have seen others that obviously, I don't know, people just happen to be walking down street. Kids take those pumpkins too, and they just. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know those, you take all the time, time decorating those pumpkins. Let me cut out this perfect eyeballs here. Bang. That looks good. Put a good candle, maybe even. You know, my dad put a remote control light in the one that he made for my daughter. And he was hitting that thing with different colors as my daughter was looking at him like, genius. The evolution of these things is so great. Was I putting that outside? Yeah, right? Yeah.
- [61:15]
E
Oh, no.
- [61:16]
A
No way am I putting it outside. Because guess what little baby shark doo Doo doo doo. Pumpkin's about to do that. Thing's getting hucked down the street. Maybe in the. Because these kids still got it. We learned that from his ring camp. They will still come for you. The toxic table at Boston. Connor and Ty Schmidt. Feels like you think there's still a little sauce on these kids. Didn't know that was happening in 2025. With all the technology that we have, we can almost see these kids faces. We got their fingerprints through the ring cam.
- [61:39]
E
Yeah, exactly. I was just gonna say psa. If you're a kid coming trick or treating in my neighborhood and you smash my pumpkins, I'll hit you with my car. I'll come out and find you and I'll fucking run you over with my car. It's so hard to clean up pumpkins because by the time Halloween comes, you've had those pumpkins out there for 10 days. They're already kind of getting a little mushy and. Yeah, ready to go. If you smash one of those things on my porch or on my walkway leading up to my porch, I will go get in my car and I'll run you over and then I'll eat your candy in front of you while my. My tire is on your back and you're screaming, please help me.
- [62:11]
B
Help me.
- [62:12]
E
And I'll eat every fun size Snickers you got.
- [62:15]
A
Oh, the neighborhood's got fun size. I didn't know. I thought some asses do.
- [62:18]
E
Some of the cheapskates are still doing it. It's which, you know, I can respect because when you got kids like that out there, you don't want to reward them.
- [62:24]
D
Bingo.
- [62:25]
A
Friday night Halloween should be a good turnout, I see.
- [62:28]
D
Oh my God, we're going to be so drunk.
- [62:30]
A
Yeah, that's one half of the hammer cowboys. Ap.
- [62:33]
D
Think about the parents. A Friday night trick or treating, just roaming around walking.
- [62:38]
A
Come back to the house. Take one, kids. Take one. One. Good for you. Good luck.
- [62:43]
D
We used to be a decent society though, where we would just, you know, toilet paper and throw some eggs. This is crossing.
- [62:47]
A
I. I also don't want to implicate anybody. I know you say just toilet paper and stuff. I've seen a lot of other stuff that not. Not good for society. Little hockey ball deck, hockey bowl.
- [62:59]
D
Sure.
- [62:59]
A
Somebody loaded that up with gunpowder. Oh, that was a crazy day.
- [63:03]
B
That's insane.
- [63:04]
A
Yeah, that was pretty.
- [63:05]
B
I poop on fire on the front. On the front doorstep.
- [63:08]
A
I assume they're still. That's maybe an extra UAQ now. We called these boys out. These Boys might actually say bring it back. Yeah, right. We got ideas. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is an Ohio man. I assume that he was not a part of any of these shenanigans, but he certainly heard of it back in the day. Like night before Halloween.
- [63:23]
E
Oh yeah, big time.
- [63:24]
D
That was night.
- [63:25]
A
Oh yeah, yeah. It was the night that everything kind of went down. Had to be on high alert for the police if you were just happening to be out about the night before Halloween. But in communities like ours, it was certainly an active evening. You know, just hijinks. Ladies and gentlemen, college football national champion, super bowl championship champion, lover of Halloween, A.J.
- [63:42]
B
Hawk.
- [63:44]
A
You see what these boys did? AQs.
- [63:47]
I
I mean, they picked the wrong house. I think AQ is gonna be laying out there in a ghillie suit for the next month and a half waiting on these punks to show up.
- [63:52]
A
That is accurate and he will do that.
- [63:54]
I
I don't think there's so many of them. Aq, you could just form to the head, elbow to the back kick. The next guy like you would take these kids out so fast.
- [64:02]
A
That's. That's a dream scenario for AJ Hawk. Hawk Hawk wishes he was smart. Smoking a cigar right here and just kind of in the shadows and then all of a sudden, bad move, boys. Just straight out, bang. The bang of the bang. Instead, AQ sleeps like a rock through 10 foot statues falling on cement outside of his house, does not wake up. And the boys get off scot free with some sick, sick, super lit Halloween decorations for the house.
- [64:31]
C
The skeletons are unbelievable. The crazy thing thing is Freddie Freeman hit a home run about 15 minutes prior to that. That's when I left the living room. Can you imagine if that game went one more inning? And I heard that and I'm in the living room.
- [64:42]
A
19 inning game is what you needed to maybe save your skeletons. Instead it was only 18 inch quick. We'll go around the room because it is Halloween week. Reese's. Okay.
- [64:51]
B
PNM's.
- [64:53]
E
Reese's or Snickers?
- [64:55]
D
Reese. Reese's. Pumpkin Reese's.
- [64:58]
A
I don't mind the eggies either.
- [64:59]
D
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [65:00]
A
Pumpkin shaped. Yeah. Halloween, we're doing pumpkin shaped Reese's. Yeah, I'm on that side as well.
- [65:05]
C
I got about 22 big cups in my backpack right now.
- [65:08]
A
Reese's.
- [65:08]
C
Reese's.
- [65:09]
A
Okay. You like the big cup? I think maybe the ratio not as great with some of the bigger ones. Whenever Reese's starts kind of dancing around, but the egg shape and the pumpkin shape always. And even the tree Shape.
- [65:19]
C
Oh, yeah.
- [65:19]
A
For Jesus birthday. Delightful. Those are good. AJ for you. What Rice.
- [65:23]
I
I would say either Butterfinger or an ice cream. Snickers.
- [65:28]
E
The freezer.
- [65:28]
D
Snickers handing out ice cream.
- [65:30]
A
Snickers is neighborhood. You got a freezer out there? I never got one.
- [65:35]
I
On trick or treat. I'm telling you, my fa. I guess I was thinking favorite candy bar sl Candy things that I had been given to me in my pillowcase on trick or treat.
- [65:44]
A
That is what we're talking about. So you're saying you're going to go with Butterfinger, I would assume, or Snickers.
- [65:48]
I
Just king size. If there's a king size Butterfinger house within like eight miles. We found it. We went back multiple times. Like switching our costumes.
- [65:55]
A
Yeah, that's a classic movie cafeteria toothpick. Let me go ahead and get some more Kung Pao chicken is what you're doing for the Butterfinger. I had a Butterfinger run for like two, three years. I think it was, hey, it sticks on a roof.
- [66:09]
I
You gotta be in the mood. You gotta be in the mood for it.
- [66:12]
A
I would say. I think the Reese's folks, whenever they created, they were like, yep, it's a home run. We did it.
- [66:18]
B
Everyone else is screwed. We did it.
- [66:19]
A
And congrats to them for doing that. Joining us now. I'll be excited to get his take on this. Grew up in a vastly different place than all of them.
- [66:25]
J
Yeah.
- [66:25]
E
How do they do that?
- [66:26]
A
I don't know. Do they do it? Ladies and gentlemen. City. You city folk. Do.
- [66:30]
B
Do.
- [66:31]
A
How do you do it? You just go apartment build. How does that work? Yeah, you just go apartment building.
- [66:35]
G
Do apartment building.
- [66:36]
D
Guy grew up in Connecticut, Florida.
- [66:37]
G
My grandma lived in New York for 45 years.
- [66:40]
I
I took the sailboat house to house.
- [66:44]
A
Peter Trager. TR. What do you guys do? You just walk down, down the hall and just knock on apartments? Is that what happens?
- [66:52]
J
Yeah, more or less. You've got giant apartment buildings with, you know, 20 apartments on one floor. You knock on the door and there's a dish out front and people come out and you could do a. A lot of damage in a little time. But I live in Brooklyn where it's a lot of these different, like brownstones with stoops and you go stoop by stoop. But I grew up in the suburbs of Jersey where it was a. It was a. You know, you got your eggs, you went nuts and you did your mischief and all that stuff. But in this, in the city environment.
- [67:16]
C
A little bit different.
- [67:17]
A
Halloween still a thing. Did it die Off. I feel like it's. It got good juice this year.
- [67:22]
D
My neighborhood's got a lot of juice.
- [67:23]
A
Yeah, I think so. I think there's a lot of decor. There was in one particular neighborhood. AQ spent a lot of money and feels like Halloween's got a lot of good juice. Yeah. Yeah.
- [67:37]
H
Wow.
- [67:38]
A
That's a good shirt right there. Timing on that note. Halloween's got good juice.
- [67:43]
C
Yeah, that's some good juice.
- [67:45]
A
Yeah. All right. What do we cam Scatter Boop.
- [67:50]
J
I got another one for you.
- [67:51]
A
Okay. A mecca Buka. Okay. All right. Yeah. Happy Halloween. Let's get back to. Let's get back to Spooky Scatter, who we certainly love and we're a massive fan of. Have been, obviously, since we learned of his existence in college at Arizona State. They come back not only in dislocation, got a couple fractures as well. I mean, it feels like the new news about Scatterboo is worse than what we maybe expected at the beginning. Even though it was nasty to look at, he was big time harder. That team seemingly quickly. Him and Jackson. How did the Giants kind of move forward without Scaboo? And what are you hearing from the locker room about Scatterboo's injury?
- [68:30]
J
It's bone crushing. It's, as you guys know, quite literally. Yeah, right. Right ankle fibula, deltoid ligament rupture. And he knew right away. You saw him, like, he didn't even wince. He was just like, yep, I'm gone. Like, get me out of here. And. And that is compounded with the loss of neighbors, which they were somehow with scotch tape and with. And with glue and like an arts and crafts project, putting together a passing offense without him, but two tremendous losses. And it's like you can't write it any worse for the Giants because they were just getting some enthusiasm and some light, and it's going to be a rough go the rest of the season. And the question is, how do these other guys respond? Obviously, it's next man up, but Scatter Boo was becoming the heart and soul of this team and also the heart and soul of the city.
- [69:14]
A
Like.
- [69:14]
J
Like the Wednesday before that game against the Eagles, he was at the Knicks game wearing a Brunson's jersey underneath the hoop. And he's going wild. And it's like he was the biggest celebrity in New York for a little bit here. And now it's going to be a long, long recovery back. And obviously the six month timeline is what people are saying, but who knows? This thing. This is brutal.
- [69:33]
A
Yeah, it absolutely Is Godspeed. Scatter.
- [69:35]
E
Boo.
- [69:35]
A
Godspeed on recovery. We will miss you. And that's a great shirt. I hope we move a bunch of those and I hope it goes into Cam's pockets, not somebody else. I'm not even gonna say the name because we got good vibes today. Speaking of today, Aiden Hutchinson just got paid $141 million guaranteed. Most guarantee for a non quarterback in the history of the NFL. How long have they been working on this? I think we all kind of thought it was going to take place. JJ mentioned about how this pretty deep in the season for this type of contract to happen. What were you hearing on the conversations that led to this and what do you hear? Veering out of Detroit after the deal gets done. Shregs.
- [70:08]
J
Well, this is like your perfect hometown kid does, right. And has done everything right and has recovered from the injury and been even better off of it. But I was hearing about this deal potentially coming down before the season. So it doesn't. And yet it does in week nine, which is great. You have to take care of it. And what the Lions are proving is draft well, take care of your homegrown players and you will be good for a sustained amount of time. Now, of course, it's easier said than done, but when you look at Brad Holmes's last few drafts, drafts, drafts, whether it be obviously Aiden Hutchinson, but Gibbs has been tremendous. Branch has been a defensive leader, Aylin McNeil, They've got all these different guys that they drafted themselves. They're not huge spenders in free agency. They don't go wild. They made the one big trade with Jared Goff and here we are and they've got a team that's all homegrown talent that grew up together and they took care of their defensive leader and aided Hutchinson.
- [71:00]
A
Yeah, and they're winning too. You know, like whenever you take care of your own people, that means you got to hit on your draft draft picks. They've certainly done that at a very, very high rate. Everybody fits their culture. Obviously, Aiden perfect for Detroit and the state of Michigan. Congrats to him and his whole family getting this deal done. Now we as parts of the sports media Daily Sports Conversation immediately spun it to a different conversation. Can you put up all the top paid defensive ends, please? Let's go. So you look at these. And now on the far right, Trey Hendrickson there. We got Burns off the graphic. We had two different graphics. Burns was on the graphic and like, like 28.2 million. Josh Hines. Allen is like 28.8 million or something like that. Trey Henderson now at 29 million, which is 13 million higher than what it was going into the season. But you look at kind of everybody up there. You got game records all over the place. Micah gets traded to get that deal done. TJ and Aiden stay where they're at. Myles Garrett stays where he's at. We immediately after seeing Miles Garrett throw his helmet this past weekend, after getting 5 seconds sacks, we start chitchatting about, oh, oh, wait a minute. Miles Garrett may be on a move, especially with spot track putting out a tweet about how easily movable his contract actually is. You don't have to really pay anything until like 2028 or 2029 and you can renegotiate a deal. Maybe Miles Garrett's on a move. Go ahead, A.J.
- [72:16]
I
Yeah, as far as that goes with Miles Garrett, I know Shefty tweeted something that there's no chance that they're gonna. The Browns claim there's no chance they're going to trade him, I guess. Do you believe this? And what are the chances, I guess, that Miles does get moved?
- [72:30]
J
Here's what it is. It's the dead cat money that is so treacherous. And it would be something that would hamper the Cleveland Browns for years to come. And I know on the websites that do the salary cap, there's ways to round it. And you could say, well, another team could pick up some of it. If you go through it though, it would be such an anchor on them. Even if they got, you know, four first round picks, even if they got back another talented pick player, that salary, the way it's written, it will come back to be eating them for years and years to come. And that said, who, what are you bringing in? That's not Myles Garrett. Now, I know he made his voices, trust me, super bowl week, the amount of shows we did on Good Morning Football about, you know, where should Miles Garrett go? And then at the end of all that, him demanding trades and requesting trades for him to be like, no, I'm actually happy with 40 million. I couldn't imagine putting the toothpaste back in the tube. But clearly this is a guy who has had interest in Lee, got paid, kept his mouth quiet for a little bit, and now it's kind of like, what are we doing here? And now that the number has gone even higher with those last two deals, you could argue that, gosh, another team would pick up that salary and would eat all of it and would be getting a bargain based on how good he is. I Just think the dead cap money is so, so treacherous that Cleveland from a salary cap standpoint it would be really hard to navigate for the next several seasons.
- [73:47]
A
$61.4 million in dead cap over a two year period for, for them. We saw the Denver Broncos do what they did with Russell Wilson contract and everything like that in the past. I'm not saying the Cleveland would do that, but I'm just saying people from outside looking in automatically go, wait a minute. Miles Garrett might be on the move now. The team that he would potentially be going to made or a team that he would potentially be going to made a couple moves last night. Get rid of some players, you know, pick up maybe a six round pick instead of a seventh round pick. They have the most amount of cap space. Let's leave Miles Garrett it out of this. But what do these moves kind of signal to you from the New England Patriots last night, who have the most amount of cap space available in the entire NFL here as we sit And a very good football team.
- [74:26]
J
Shrigs and they might not be done. I think some of these moves, Marcus Jones has been an incredible player for them and that's one of the, the, the last picks that Belichick made that you can point to and be like, all right, Bill nailed on that one. These two guys did not work out long term. Obviously Duggar was a good player early on. They get rid of them, they have all this space. So does that mean they're going to have another chess piece that they're going to add? They're going to make another move. But this is more of less Mike Vrabel purging of whatever was there that he inherited that doesn't fit his future vision. And that could be Keon White, it could be Kyle Duggar. Both fine men. Fine. But like Keon White had a great training camp this year. We got excited about it. It hasn't developed and Duggar, there wasn't a place on the field right now for him. So they make these moves and if, if you're looking at what this Patriots team is and I spoke to Brian Hoyer for a while this morning just talking about Frank May and Dog for real Ohio guy. And Hoyer was saying like they are, they are so ahead of schedule right now, but they might not, we might not have on the outside expected them to be where they at. But like they kind of do like they, they had this vision internally that they would be contenders and they would be able to be this good. And Vrabel and McDaniels are coaching up this team that's so young that they have this unselfish vibe to, to them in that you look at the wide receivers and you look at the tight ends, it's like everybody eats. I went through it earlier this week. I was on NFL Live and I was like, booty led the, led the team in receiving one one week. Stevenson did, Matt Collins did, Hunter Henry did. And they all celebrate each other. There's this great young vibe. So nothing against Keon White or Kyle Duggar, but this is like Vrabel's vision of a future, Vrabel's vision of this run. Right now. Drake May is at the switch. He's the guy. But if, if, if I don't see you as all in and for like the future and for the long term and we don't necessarily need you on the field. Like I'm going to move on and I'm going to use that space elsewhere. So I would keep an eye on them. After this weekend's game against the Falcons. Do they make a trade in that 48 hour window and if not, in the next free agency period, Gosh, they're going to have a wonderful thing to sell free agents. Look what you can come and join a great culture with guys who are all on board.
- [76:36]
A
Yeah. On that note about if not them or watch them, Tone has a question.
- [76:39]
D
Yeah, Shregs, obviously we know you are the king of the NFL draft and predicting what's going to happen there because of your relationships that you've built with all of the GMs in the national Football League. So is it similar around the trade deadline and what, and which teams should we be watching at the trade deadline?
- [76:55]
J
All right, you're not going to get big names this week. And I, I, I know it makes for great Internet fodder and some retweets when you start throwing out names and throwing them against the wall. But I've done this long enough. What happens is you're not going to get through this weekend. And I remember covering the Christian McCaffrey trade where everyone was calling Carolina from week six to nine and nobody would get an answer from Carolina. Then all of a sudden in two days, it got done with the 49ers. I remember doing the Von Miller trade to the Rams where everyone was calling Denver from weeks five to nine. No one talks and they get through week nine and it's like, all right, what do you got? What's the best deal? I do believe there's going to be some action, but it's not going to happen until Monday and Tuesday of next week and right up to that trade deadline. But it's a little different than the n Major League Baseball where it's the names you're already hearing. There could be names that we don't know that are teams that suddenly aren't going to be contenders based on their loss on Sunday, that suddenly those are the ones moving. I think Trey Hendrickson is a very viable option to be traded based on what you see on paper. This is a guy who's making reasonable money. He's in the final year of a contract. He's already been unhappy. That seems to be a guy that maybe goes with coach Lou and Indy. Like you're talking, right?
- [78:03]
A
Yeah, hour and a half, two hours. Not that big of a.
- [78:09]
J
Is that a. Is that a San Francisco that's lost so many on the defensive line with all the injuries and yes, they added Keon White, but like maybe they make the call. So he is to me a prime target. I'll give you some other names. Quincy Williams. Not Quinn in, but Quincy from the jets is an all pro linebacker. I think he could be a name. Breeze hall, of course, we've been hearing his name floated around for quite some time. They got a lot out of Isaiah Davis this last week. Maybe they move him for something and a new names that are all on that Saints roster, which is all veteran guys, whether it be Demario Davis or whether it be Shahid, whether it be Taysom Hill, whoever it is. All that Saints roster, you look at that thing, you've got a half of a season left. They're basically eliminated from any playoff contention. They've got a lot of veteran guys in the final years of their contract. Those are movable assets.
- [78:53]
A
Taysom Hill available, no space, maybe chest.
- [78:59]
I
Piece right where you plug him in.
- [79:01]
A
Imagine Tyler Warren and Taysom Hill and John all in the backfield. And dimes, you got dimes taking a snap, triangle around. Oh my. Who's quarterback? We don't know who's running, but we don't know who's going. We don't know who's throwing it. We don't know. I mean Shane Psychic has got a lot we don't know. The defensive coordinator's got to figure out just something to think about as we're on top of it. Okay. I'm excited to see how trade deadline works. And if you saying nothing's going to happen this week, that's good. We can focus on Halloween and who stole his decorations. You mentioned a couple jets players there. Let's Talk about that place. Aaron Glenn gets his first win. Go ahead, aq.
- [79:34]
C
Yes, Drake. Speaking of the jets, they got a big win against the Bengals. The run game looked good, the offensive line looked good. Justin Fields looked good. Did he earn the confidence back from the organization?
- [79:46]
J
You know, at this point, it's like, you know, when you're going to talk publicly about the quarterback position, no one's trying to curry the favor of the owner anymore.
- [79:53]
A
He.
- [79:53]
J
He said what he said, okay, let's do it for ourselves. Ourselves. And that's what Justin Fields did. I thought he was beautiful in that press conference, talking about his faith, talking about his. His belief in himself, but also his vulnerability and what it took to him to get out of this game, what he did. Obviously, AJ And IKU and Pat, like the loss of Nick Mangold on Sunday Morning broke a lot of us. And I got the news 10 minutes before it went public. And I was. I've known Nick, obviously not as long as you, A.J. but, like, that's a dear, dear person in my life, both as a professional covering him and then in his media stuff and just knowing the guy. I think that was felt throughout the jets organization to start the morning that way, which was such a backbreaking way to start NFL Sunday. And it's going to be with us for a long, long time thinking about Nick, but then for them to rally around the way that they did as a team and, you know, forget this owner and whatever he said this week and forget what everyone's saying about us on the outside and for. Forget for us to rally around. And maybe I'm being, you know, I'm not connecting, but, like, this was a special moment for the jets organization, and I don't know what fueled them to find the way, but they did. And so my long reaction here is there was no reason they should have won that game, and yet they did. And you have to believe that there is a belief in each other. And I almost think the owner's comments from earlier in the week, last week, have galvanized them in a way that the media couldn't and the outside noise couldn't and the athletic articles couldn't last year. This is like, oh, you're gonna be the one to talk about us? Well, let's go show you what we can do, and we're gonna do it for us, not for you.
- [81:27]
A
Okay. And on that note, you talk about doing it for them in the locker room. I think it's really cool. Aaron Glenn, I don't know how much he got to know Nick, but like, his first win as a Jets coach is same like Nick Mangold's a part of it, you know, like, that is a. That's a cool thing, I think, from all of us football people. Whenever I didn't get to know Nick Mangold as close as you guys, but he's beloved by everybody, brother. I mean, that is a. A jolly soul that I think we will certainly miss. And I think everybody that morning were like, jets gotta win. Like, that was literally, I think, like everybody's natural reaction. And then for them to actually do it, really cool shit, you know, football.
- [82:00]
J
And the fashion that they did it with the comeback. But also like Aaron Glenn, this is so deep cut football. But you'll appreciate this. Aaron Glenn has been destroyed for his game management and his clock management. They were down, you know, eight points and they go for two. And that's the analytics answer. You're supposed to do that when you're down because then you get another shot at it and you can win in regulation. And like, it actually worked out. He played it as well as you possibly could. And for everyone calling him a dummy in the media and for everyone saying, well, why aren't you doing Hail Marys? And what for him to get like the clock management spot on and for it to actually work out, It's a nice little win for Aaron Glenn. Also, like, hey, I know what I'm doing. Everyone relax. Like, I can do this. I thought that was pretty cool.
- [82:40]
A
Also, there's a coach we know that can do it. He's won the coach of the year. He's got a team that has made a couple decisions. Let a couple great QBs out the door. Go ahead. Ty Schmidt.
- [82:49]
E
Yeah, Shrigs. As far as you know, are the Vikings still 100% all in gung ho on JJ McCarthy? Cause there's more stuff coming out now with Carson Wentz, them saying, you know, he broke a bone in his shoulder and he was playing with the torn rotator cuff since Ireland. So it's been a couple weeks now. And Obviously we know JJ's, you know, soft benching that some people are saying, saying. But then Kevin Seifert from. He. He's the beat reporter for the Vikings for espn. He basically said, like, well, now we gotta see if it's JJ McCarthy's team or could it potentially be Max Brosmer too? So, like, kind of weird that he's being mentioned in the same sentence. Like, what's. What's the temperature in Minnesota? Is it still 100% J.J. mcCarthy's team?
- [83:35]
J
Yes. And it has to be. There are two different things happening right now. One is, is what they let walk out of the building and Sam Darnold and not franchise tagging him. And it's revisionist history. But we all conveniently forget the last eight days of Sam Darnold's career as a Minnesota Viking. Everyone afterwards like, well, yeah, you can't resign that guy after the way that he played against Detroit and against the Rams in the playoffs. Like, it's just not going to happen here. So that's revisionist. But it's also Daniel Jones was in the building and they obviously traded up in the draft to get J.J. mcCarthy. McCarthy when, you know, Bo Nix was drafted several pick or two picks later. So there's all these different things in play here. The truth of the matter is, I can't imagine any young quarterback in the league to have more pressure riding on him the rest of the way this season than McCarthy. He's 22 years old. He's played six quarters in his NFL career, basically two games. One of those quarters was good. And now you're basically saying, all right, with a high ankle sprain, go and save the season, lead us. And some somehow justify us moving on from Darnold and Daniel Jones, who are both going to be in the MVP candidate candidacy throughout the season. Like, it is a huge mountain for this guy. And yet it's just what the job requires and what he. What he has to do. He had this high standard when you come in and they say we're going to rather have you than a guy who led us to a 14 and 3 record. And he's now got to do that and then also overcome what Daniel Jones is doing in Indianapolis from a perception stand standpoint. But yes, this is JJ's team. They're all behind JJ if, if Brosmer or Woodford plays. The reason is that J.J. mcCarthy just physically couldn't go.
- [85:07]
E
You heard that right. Sign the wolf today.
- [85:10]
A
What?
- [85:10]
E
Yeah. Practice squad.
- [85:12]
A
The Wolf Man.
- [85:13]
E
Yeah.
- [85:13]
B
Yeah. He's finally.
- [85:14]
J
Yes.
- [85:15]
A
Yes. Yeah.
- [85:17]
E
Bingo.
- [85:19]
J
Pride of Wake Forest. Who Kevin o' Connell once. Once coached in LA and has a familiarity.
- [85:26]
A
Oh, my God. It's not real till I see a seafood toy about it. Vikings veteran quarterback and John Wolford. This man started over Jared Goff.
- [85:34]
E
He did a playoff and a lot.
- [85:35]
A
Los Angeles Rams.
- [85:37]
D
I love the wolf just as much as the rest of us, but I.
- [85:39]
A
Don'T know if you love him as much as me. Just by the tone and what you're saying, what you're saying right now.
- [85:43]
D
I'm saying Brosmer could be a Purdy situation.
- [85:45]
A
Brosmer, wow.
- [85:46]
D
Could be a Lance Purdy situation.
- [85:48]
A
Wow.
- [85:49]
D
He was great for the Gophers last season.
- [85:51]
A
Well, Scott, you ma brother, especially in Minnesota, you gotta do what you got to do. And you said there's a lot of pressure on jj. I. I agree that there's a lot of pressure on jj, especially because all the outside factors and the injuries and everything that's taking place and how good we know that team is in the coaches. It's like you go back to that draft class, it's like Drake May is kind of carrying a team right now. You know, like, he is on his back. He is a. That's a. I'm excited to see the story told. You know, they're already redrafting on tv. Oh, yeah, they're already redrafting that.
- [86:16]
J
I'm on these morning shows. We're doing redrafts. Can we change week to week?
- [86:21]
A
Yeah, legit. That's football in a nutshell. And on that note, feels like we're in a different time now than we were just a few weeks ago with a dynasty. Go ahead, con man.
- [86:29]
B
Yeah, Shrags. Obviously, after the. The Chiefs and Eagles started the season the way they started, and, you know, they both just played in the super bowl, but still, everyone was kind of killing them for a little bit, and now it feels like they're both hitting their stride. The Eagles have been the best that we've seen them. Jalen hurts kind of clicking on all cylinders, and the Chiefs with Rasheed Rice back is a massive problem. But do you think these two are going to go now? Do you think it is going to be a, hey, who can hold off the Chiefs? Who can hold off the Eagles in both conferences? And those two, Veach and Howie Roseman, do you expect them to be, you know, as active as they typically are around this time?
- [87:05]
J
I think. I think Howie is always looking to add assets, which is why I dismissed the A.J. brown trade rumors. Out of, out of pocket from the last three weeks. Even as fervent as everyone might be that he. He's out, it's not going to happen this season. They have a good team going and they've got a star player in A.J. brown. And if I've known Howie for 20 years, which I have, he doesn't trade away blue chip assets. He says, let's figure it out with these guys and let's give him more help to do it. I find both of these teams who have really interesting games in the next couple of weeks. The Chiefs Bills game is fascinating to me because we're already crowning the Chiefs. A loss, though, would then give them four losses. Losses in an AFC that's loaded. An AFC west that has the Chargers, that's still an undefeated team in the division, and that suddenly puts them in that 5, 6, 7 range where they have to go on the road throughout the playoffs. Now, I am a company man with espn. I just joined this place in March. I just got here. I can't sell you the importance sometimes of these Monday night matchups. I can't. But on week 10, we have an Eagles, Packers Monday Night Football game with Troy and Joe in the booth and the Manning cast going on on espn. I think it's the biggest matchup of the NFC this season. And if you add in the fact that the packers are the team that made the Tush push, you know, rid of it, and let's try to cripple these guys from what works them work. I think it's the game of the, of the, of the season in the nfc and you've got two different teams. This Eagles team that's so like, gosh, there's so much friction. It's so rocky and everything on the outside seems like it's falling apart. And then you've got this Kumbaya packers team that everyone loves and they just added Micah and couldn't go wrong. That to me and Bill's Chiefs this week, those are two monster games that are going to help dictate the rest of the seasons for both those super bowl, you know, participants from here.
- [88:52]
A
Yeah. You talk about the number one seed, number two seed for the nfc whenever you talk about the packers and the Eagles. I mean, obviously that's a massive matchup in the middle of the season. That's exciting news. Monday Night Football.
- [89:02]
E
Yeah.
- [89:02]
B
Yeah.
- [89:02]
A
I'm very happy about that being a Monday Night Football game.
- [89:05]
B
Come on.
- [89:05]
A
All by itself. Let's go, boys. Trey, you know, we're fresh out out the worst slate in the history of the NFL. Horrible, horrible. 55 years. You got to go back to see how bad the slate was in the NFL. Okay. 2080, we might have another bad one. Okay, we apologize. We. We had a Sunday into a Monday and it just wasn't that good. We. We apologize. But if you were to look at what the slates are supposed to be going in a season, we got a lot of unpredictability this season. I think we got a good season going. I'm very, very thankful for it. And we appreciate, appreciate the hell out of you Shrigs. You're kicking ass this fall, I think with the guys.
- [89:39]
J
My favorite thing is coming on with you. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for giving me the platform, as always.
- [89:43]
A
Yeah. But how about whenever you're down or on a sideline, Monday Night Football.
- [89:46]
J
That's pretty cool.
- [89:47]
A
Super cool. Post game wrap up stuff, doing interviews. That's. That's cool stuff, isn't it?
- [89:52]
C
It's amazing.
- [89:53]
J
I'm loving espn.
- [89:54]
A
It's been cool.
- [89:55]
J
And to do all these different things is great. But I will say this. Nothing beats shooting jump shots with you out for outside of that court in Indianapolis. Could we do that again this spring?
- [90:04]
A
That was so good. You know, whatever. I don't know if we'll be able to have. Yeah, who knows what happens then? But you know, the draft. I think Shriggs, you being on our draft show was so cool for us. We are very thankful.
- [90:15]
J
You're stop.
- [90:16]
A
No, legit. Our Draft Spectacular is obviously a big deal for us. It is an outrageous show because we only know first 10 guys and then there's four hours left, you know, and it seems like people really enjoy watching us just kind of get through it. And we've been, we've turned it into a spectacle. Like I wrapped it season almost. It's become like our thing, almost a draft spectacular. Whenever we learned that you were available for the Draft Spectacular and they weren't being. You weren't being used anywhere else, we were so pumped. It's like, all right, got spectacular figured out. What are we going to do? Toad and Shrag's are going to be in a room and.
- [90:47]
J
And we, we had such a blast. Tone as the greatest wingman in that situation. I remember Grace Zable gets drafted and we're doing flips over Gray Zable. I'm like, we've made it. We've made it.
- [90:57]
A
This is it. But and for us on this, on the set, there's water. Yep. Got drafted. Let's send this over to Shrek and.
- [91:05]
D
Great and Gray Zel has turned that Seahawks offensive line around.
- [91:08]
A
Yeah, he's amazing. He's great.
- [91:10]
J
Pat, I would say this the night before getting dinner with you guys. Not on camera, just hanging with the boys. AJ of course, Mike McCarthy, like, that's a highlight for me as far as just camaraderie and culture and all that stuff. And I know that stuff matters to you as well.
- [91:23]
A
Yeah. Well, we're lucky that you're a part of our family, brother. We appreciate you. Ladies and gentlemen, seven. Hey, enjoy Halloween. Don't be stealing any decorations. Pierre Schrager. Love that. That's great shirt tricks. It's a really good shirt. Who thought of that?
- [91:39]
B
Gene?
- [91:40]
E
Genius. Yes.
- [91:41]
A
Yes. It might have been Leo back in the day.
- [91:43]
E
Okay.
- [91:44]
A
You know Cam Scatter. Boo's dad, Leo?
- [91:46]
D
Oh, yeah, yeah.
- [91:46]
A
Every Halloween he was probably like, hey, Leo, scared Boo. And there's so many.
- [91:52]
C
So.
- [91:53]
E
Oh, yeah.
- [91:53]
A
You know what I mean? That is. It's great marketing.
- [91:56]
B
Yeah. Maybe even like a dad. I want to be a goblin this year. Shut up, Cam. You're a ghost. Always.
- [92:01]
I
Boo, bitch.
- [92:02]
A
Yeah, and he is a ghost, by the way. Whenever he starts. Oh, he's impossible. Yeah. Out there doing it. AJ I don't know if you saw last night World Series took place. And you know, it was following literally the next night after an 18 inning World Series game. And guess what? They're playing again tonight. Now I. I know the baseball season is. Every day we're playing baseball maybe even two times a day, we gotta do that. That thing being on Monday against Monday Night Football. No matter how shite the game is. I don't like it. Move it to Tuesday. The fact that they go 18 innings and then guess what? Next night we gotta go nine again for the big prize. This is everything. There's only two teams left. I guess you can't just kind of pick and choose when you want to do things because of stadium's availability and all that shit. But the fact that they go 18 innings into last night, into it again, and this is for all the marbles, crazy what happened last night. I saw sh. I saw him with some good, good vertical movement, horizontal movement. They're Talking about the 36 inches he's got from the four seam into the sinker and then the splitter and the sweeper. He's got all that stuff. He looked like he was. He was a little tired though, last night. And what did we learn from that game last night? What happened in the game?
- [93:10]
E
Yeah, it was a very sleepy game to see say the least, which you can expect. I mean, most of These guys played 18 straight innings the night before. And like you mentioned, Shohei did have some, some very nice east to west, you know, horizontal break. Unfortunately, in the top of the third inning, he just didn't have enough vertical break. He hangs a sweeper to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. And he blasts a two run homer to give the Blue Jays a 2:1 lead. And that's. That's kind of all they needed after this. It was death by a thousand cuts. It was Blue Jays baseball just single Single, single. Tough at bats. They don't strike out a whole bunch. So a lot of people saying, hey, sh. Really got tagged. Like, yeah.
- [93:50]
A
Is he all right?
- [93:51]
E
Well, you know, again, long season. He played and he played 18 innings last night. And I also believe, hey, he just hit a two run homer off maybe the greatest, maybe the greatest athlete of all time in the World Series in a must win game. He, he could have, he could have fucking done the worm around the bases if he wanted to. And he was probably thinking about it.
- [94:12]
A
So you're saying that little bit of a gate looks like there's a little bit of a limp on the left leg. Looks like it's either a hip or a knee maybe. Kind of the way my eyes, untrained eyes looking at it, he seems to be having a bit of a limp there. You're saying, yeah, maybe add a limp to slow it down. Let's take this one and let's drink this down. This is World Series in Los Angeles. The stars are out. You see everybody that was there? Oh yeah, Johnny Knoxville was there with a glove.
- [94:35]
E
Exactly.
- [94:36]
A
Knoxville was there with a glove. He was okay, so obviously let's go and take. That's what you're saying could potentially be here, but also long season. Vladi could be a little bit tired. His bones could be saying, yeah, we only got a couple more of these.
- [94:46]
E
And there's also a chance, you know, playing in an 18 game, 18 inning game. Like I don't know how many foul balls he had last night that just like grazed off his shin. Grazed off. You know, there could have been four or five of those in an 18 inning game that I would imagine. And it really showed in like the play. It did like the 18 inning game was unbelievable. But you could, like these guys were just so gassed, like sh's velocity was way down. And that's kind of what John Smoltz, who calls the game like he, he was saying early on, like Otani is, he's such, he's such a unicorn. Like in stealing bases is a massive part of it. But like he probably wasn't going to run it all last night because he was going to need everything he had for his legs in order to pitch. So he didn't really get tagged, but he definitely didn't have. Have his best stuff. He was over three at the plate with two strikeouts. So it was one of those things where like, I personally didn't know. I just thought after an 18 inning game, you use everybody on your team, you get beat. Like that was probably Just like, how are the Blue Jays going to come back for this? But they're just. They're so damn scrappy. They're a tough out. And. And they. They outplay the Dodgers last night. So two, two going into game five.
- [95:48]
A
We got a battle in the World Series. I think this is good baseball. You know, you talked to Adam Silver about, hey, do you want the big market markets in the finals? You know, Indiana, okc. He's like, well it out, Drew Dallas and Cleveland, and they just want to see good competition. Feels like we're getting that out of this World Series, which we love. 32.6 million. 32 point. Yep. 32.6 million. Global average. 12.8 million out of Japan. 19.8 million out of US and Canada. That's a lot of eyes. That's good for baseball. And once again, Shohei Ohtani being as good as he is and as great as he is, even though last night he gets hits the L, it's like great for baseball. And all of a sudden the Blue Jays are making this thing a serious.
- [96:26]
E
Yeah.
- [96:27]
A
All of a sudden they go in LA and do their thing and Vladi, daddy, I can barely run.
- [96:31]
E
Yeah, exactly.
- [96:31]
A
And he's just hitting bombs on Shohei. Good for baseball. We got another game tonight. All right, let's go to base or back to football. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, forget that audible. There's an icon join. Yes. Person joining us right now is first time author. Okay. That book not on the desk right now. I just realized as I look down here now on that note, got sent a couple copies because this man's a friend of the program. He's also a man who has 105 million album sales.
- [97:09]
B
Damn.
- [97:10]
A
Yeah. And Billboard has done the same stats. He has the most number one country music hits in the history of country music. He had a show at the Sphere, which was incredible. He'll have a show in your town. It'll be the best show that you go to every single year. He has songs that relate to people. He has songs that bring people together. He has songs that make people celebrate. And he has the stories behind them all in his brand new first ever book, Heart, Life and Music. Ladies and gentlemen, Kenny Chesney.
- [97:39]
C
Yay, Kenny.
- [97:42]
A
Are you brother.
- [97:43]
H
Oh, that was an intro. How you doing, man?
- [97:45]
A
Well, I apologize. I left the book at my desk over there. So that intro was going to be about as long as it took Bruce to go grab book and get it over here. But I want to let you know we appreciate the copies that you sent to us. We are huge fans of yours as you know, your music and everything about it. And this is beautiful. There's pictures in here from moments. I learned about Sixth Gear. Okay. His first ever boat. I also learned about hey now. And it's first maiden voyage. I learned about other magical moments and kind of trying times in your life in here. What should people expect from your first book? And how excited are you to have this done and completed alongside going into the Country Music hall of Fame?
- [98:20]
H
Well, I'm very excited to have it done and completed. But, yeah, I think that when people pick up this book, I'm going to take them on a journey to East Tennessee. I want to take them on the bow of my boat, the Virgin Islands. I want to take them back stage. I'm going to take them all kinds of places. And Pat, this isn't a memoir, really. It's just postcards of my journey. And it's been full of music. It's been full of sports. It's been full of fun and friendship. I mean, you name it, man. I'm, I. I'm just very excited to have it out now.
- [98:51]
A
We're very thankful for your friendship and obviously sports. Love you. I think your songs have gotten a majority of people through a lot of things or brought a lot of people, People together. The book's available next Tuesday. You came through game day. Crushed it, dude. Hey, you killed that. That wasn't your band either, right? That was kind of a mix.
- [99:08]
H
No, it was Dirk Bentley's band. My band was doing their own gig in Florida. Shout out to your Dirk band.
- [99:14]
A
Shout out to your band. I saw Derek on the guitar there, far left. Had a. Obviously a little solo in there to crush it. You murdered it there. It feels like live is what you love, right? That is literally.
- [99:24]
H
Oh, I love it.
- [99:25]
A
That is who you are.
- [99:26]
H
Yeah, I've been doing it a while now, but it's where I really feel comfortable in my skin. And I've done game day three or four times. I'm sorry I didn't get to see the other day, but it was fun doing it.
- [99:37]
A
Yeah, you were great for us. I want to let you know we're thankful that you did it. And if you get a chance to see Kenny Chesney live, you should certainly do that now. He's in stadiums and has been for like two decades. A lot of NFL connection with Kenny Chesney. AQ has a question for you. Kenny.
- [99:52]
C
Yeah, Kenny, it's been well documented that every time you go on tour and you travel to all these different places and do the stadiums and all that. You go into the team's facility and get a workout in what is your favorite NFL weight room that you've worked out in?
- [100:05]
H
Oh, wow. The Cowboys facility is awfully nice. There's a. There's a lot of great ones. I mean, you know what, though? You can tell where the money is because the college ones are the nicest. I mean, they are. They got money and they. They are. They're putting a lot of money in the weight rooms in college.
- [100:24]
A
Yeah. And they're also huge stadiums. You know, you got 102,000. It's like.
- [100:28]
H
Yeah, that's insane.
- [100:29]
A
Yeah. 12,000, 115,000. These colleges are outrageous. And somehow one man who sings that good can fill them all up. Go ahead, aj.
- [100:39]
I
Yeah, Kenny, I just. As you, You. Your longevity is unbelievable.
- [100:43]
F
The.
- [100:43]
I
The fact that you've been so good for so long, selling out stadium still, I don't know, like, as you continue to keep playing, like, do you enjoy it now more than ever? I would imagine. Like, I know all of us. When as I age, I look back and think, like, man, this is pretty awesome situation I'm in right now. I would imagine you have that moving forward like every single time you maybe play a show.
- [101:01]
H
Yeah, I love it more than ever, really. And I've gotten to a point in my life where our life is a lot like a baseball season and I start in the spring and I end in the fall. Fall. And I've. I'm really particular about what I put in my body, you know, and I work out really hard and I train a lot like an athlete to go do what I do. And so having that mindset, we play on a Thursday and a Saturday night when we do a stadium tour and it's. It. I feel better up there now than I ever have, honestly.
- [101:33]
A
Used to be just big time party, right for you. Even maybe back in the day, I.
- [101:36]
H
Think we talked about we had our sheriff on path.
- [101:38]
A
Yeah. That's obviously talked about in art life and music as well. But it's a different animal now.
- [101:44]
E
Yeah.
- [101:44]
H
Yeah. I got to a point. I think we've talked about it before. I've got to a point where I had to choose, right. I had to choose if I was going to party out on the road or do what I really love. And all of a sudden I got to a point in my life where I couldn't do both. So I chose to do what I really love.
- [102:02]
A
Cold tub on the road train. Yeah. You know you're talking about like really taking care of of yourself. But it shows in your performances, man. You give everything every single night. I think there's only a few, you know, performers that can really do that. I watched Taylor go for like three hours.
- [102:16]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [102:17]
A
I mean, it was outrageous. Luke Combs, Luke Combs loses his mind on like, there's different levels of this. Morgan runs, I mean, he runs like 700 yards and you bring it every. I think that's a big deal. I think that's you showing appreciation to your fans. Do you agree with that?
- [102:32]
H
Well, of course. The, the energy you get from the odds audience. You know, I think any entertainer will tell you the, the, the, the artist you just mentioned or whoever it is that's up there on stage. We give what the audience gives us. The more energy we get, the more energy we give. And that's how it's just sometimes it's like an avalanche coming at you and you can't stop it. And those are the nights that it's almost like an out of body experience. And I've been very fortunate over the years, years to have a lot of those nights and a lot of good people around me, you know, that, that share the same vision and the same discipline and work ethic. Because if you, if it's like anything else, it's like a company or, you know, you guys working on, on the show, if you get somebody that's, that's not in line with all of it, that it's not great. And so we've worked really hard to have that. And I feel very fortunate to have a great group out there helping me.
- [103:25]
A
Yeah, great team. Obviously a bunch of road warriors. You're out there all, all the time and you got a chance to kind of go inside and do something very special. Go ahead, Tone.
- [103:34]
D
Yeah, Kenny. We had the privilege of going to the Sphere once. It was awesome. Unfortunately, not for your show. You did the first run. What did you learn from that first run that you're gonna bring to your second run? And did, did the Sphere, like, did.
- [103:46]
C
You, did it surprise you at how.
- [103:48]
D
Cool it was even while you're doing shows?
- [103:50]
H
It was so cool, man. I mean, what it did, it forced me and the band to find different neural pathways in our brain when it comes to preparing for the show. When we go to a stadium tour or whatever, we know what that's like to go prepare for that. But this was a completely different animal. It was almost emotional in nature. When you're up there with your band and your audience and even if people have been you know, living with your music for a while, they come into the Sphere and hear it and they experience it in a completely different way. Different way. And it's just. It's just really incredible. So yeah, we're already working on next summer show because some of it's got to change, you know, it can't be the exact same thing. So if I went to somebody's show at the Sphere and went the next year and saw the exact same thing, I wouldn't love it. So we're in a process of changing, you know, almost half of it probably.
- [104:46]
A
Is the Sphere just going to become one of your like yearly homes. Like, hey, we'll just drop in, do the Sphere, we'll go ahead and do some stadiums and we won't be able to.
- [104:53]
H
I don't know that it would be all year, you know, like we've done last year and this coming summer. But it's definitely going to be something hopefully that will go and play every now and then if we want. You know, I do in ways miss the energy of being up there, you know, and being in a different town every night. But trust me, we should do, we should do y' all show from the Sphere one morning.
- [105:17]
A
Yeah.
- [105:17]
B
Yes.
- [105:18]
A
Yes, we should, Kenny.
- [105:19]
H
It's a great thing to do, man. It's a great thing to be a part of.
- [105:22]
A
Yeah, certainly. I mean, if you're gonna pay for that, we will certainly do that.
- [105:25]
H
Yeah, I'll pay for it.
- [105:26]
A
We love that.
- [105:27]
C
We love that.
- [105:28]
A
We love that. Yeah, Maybe we'll get a hay now boat out of this thing as well. So no question. Hey, there's something to think about here. I know we're brainstorming for the next Fear and I don't know what you did the first time we weren't able to see the show was trying to get out there. Wasn't able to get out there. I think you have what, the biggest John Deere tractor of all time. Oh man, she thinks my tractor sexy. You, you lead off with that, don't you? That tractor's coming from, from up above and that thing's pulling back there around. That thing's posing, maybe flexing on the other side of it. And then you kind of lead off. Just something to think about. Hey, okay.
- [105:56]
H
Hey man, we'll take any kind of, any kind of creative input.
- [105:59]
A
You got just one big ass John theater just riding through that thing, you know, because she think she does. Her eyes do light up whenever she sees that thing. On that note, about how many songs that you have, you have so many songs I, I, I listen to, to 4 Kenny Chesney songs a day, probably just in my algorithm, because the amount of songs that you have so much different but also kind of similar messaging. On that note, Ty has a question for you.
- [106:23]
E
Yeah. When it comes to that, Kenny, when it comes to like, new music and, and things like that, how difficult is it, you know, like, finding something new to say? I guess because you have so many songs in the catalog or at thi, at this point in your career, like, is that, do you not care about that? Is it just like, hey, I know where my bread's buttered and I'm going to kind of give the fans what they want?
- [106:44]
H
Well, I mean, that's a great question, because it, you can't go and sing the exact same thing. You know, like, if somebody gave me a song, let's just say somebody gave me a song just like, no shoes, no shirt, no problems. Well, I can't sing that song because I already have no shoes, no shirt, no problems. But a brand new act, just brand new on the scene. If they get that song, that song, then all of a sudden they're brilliant, but I can't sing that song. So the, the, the target is really thin for me when it comes to listening to music. And I mean, I am, I'm very thankful because very few artists get to a place where they compete with themselves when it comes to music. And so that's where I am. So it takes me, I get there, but it takes me a little longer to find exactly what I want to say.
- [107:31]
A
Song selections. Crazy. Crazy. Dude. Song selection is absolutely crazy. Because.
- [107:35]
H
Thank you.
- [107:35]
A
Yeah. Because for you, you put out some out there, I mean, people are gonna say, Kenny, Kenny's love. But you have so many songs in so many albums, you put out a new album, we all know it from other artists, right? They go on a tour and they want to play their new album. Everybody hates it. So. But you, you put out a new album, it's like, more bangers are coming. More bangers are coming. You have a great eye or ear. It seems like, for God, what, what.
- [107:58]
H
I, what I try to do is, is almost edit myself to a fault because I, when I'm listening to songs, I try to put myself in the audience, in the place of the audience. And what's going to turn them on and what's going to make them want to enjoy their summer and what's going to move them in any way? And if you notice, I mean, like, if I have ballads and I love to Sing slow songs. But when you come to a show, you won't hear many of them because by the time they get the. By the time we get on stage. Stage. And by the time they're there, I. I don't want to. I don't want to take the chance of losing them. So we hit them. Boom, really hard. Constantly.
- [108:31]
A
Yeah, just tap it down, down, drop it down, get them going there. I like everything about it. Con man has a question for you about some, you know, ball.
- [108:41]
B
Yeah, Kenny. Another suggestion for the sphere would do just play the entire Boys of Fall music video. I think it's eight and a half minutes, minutes long. The Sean Payton speech. And it's amazing. We were watching it before the show. I mean, chills every single time. But speaking of football, how do we feel about the Vols this season? They got a big one against Oklahoma coming up. Still feels like they can make the college football playoffs. Where are you at as far as hopes go for the Tennessee Volunteers?
- [109:07]
H
Yeah, the Vols don't have very much wiggle room right now, but, yeah, I got a big, you know, three games coming up that are pretty big. A really big. And I. I'm pulling for him. But what about our Patriots?
- [109:19]
A
Oh, yeah, our Patriots. You said you gotta be.
- [109:22]
H
You gotta be fired up.
- [109:23]
B
Drake May's the future, man. You need to. First of all, you need to go see Drake May, just be like, hey, how do you get all this greatness? And you guys gotta change kind of exchange some greatness talking. Don't. Don't look now, Kenny, but we're gonna. We're gonna get some pieces here. Miles Garrett might be in New England.
- [109:38]
A
Cleveland Browns have come out and said to Boston Connor's report of Miles Garrett maybe being traded to the Patriots. There is no chance of that happening. But can you talk about your connection with the Patriots in Foxborough a little bit? Because I think you. Tennessee guy.
- [109:52]
H
I started playing there. My connection to New England has been really strong for a lot of years, but my first show at Gillette in Foxborough was in 2005, and it's just grown from there. And I've become great friends with Robert Kraft and Jonathan and. And was good friends with Bill when he was there.
- [110:12]
J
And.
- [110:13]
H
And. And so. And now I can't believe how great Vrabel's doing. I mean, I'm very. I've been friends with Variable since he was a player in New England, and our friendship has grown over the years. And now here he is and has the Patriots. What are they, five and two? Six and two Something like that.
- [110:30]
A
Oh, yeah, Very good.
- [110:31]
B
Six and two.
- [110:32]
A
And they got a lot of money, Kenny. They're looking to maybe make a trade to go on super bowl run, which is crazy to think because we all thought maybe the Patriots were dead. And then Rabel goes up there and Drake May is this wonder child, and all of a sudden the Patriots. But he's only 23. He's 23 years old. Drake May. It's outrageous.
- [110:48]
H
Mike has a unique way of. I've been to his practices and I've been around him when he's in the zone, and he has this unique way of getting the most out of his players and. And a way of having the whole team take on his competitive nature and personality. And you see that happening right before our eyes. It's crazy to watch. I'm proud of him.
- [111:10]
A
Have you ever seen Vrabel smoke three cigarettes at the same time?
- [111:14]
H
Well, I can. Not at the same time, but I have seen him at shows and we did Boys of Fall one night in Columbus, Ohio, and Rabel and Herb street came up on stage in the middle of the. Of the song. And while I was singing, I'm back behind the mic and I'm back there singing the song and V starts walking down to the stage high fiving all the people. You know, it was. It was hilarious. But yeah, I've seen Mike backstage at.
- [111:42]
A
Shows, so it sounds like he grabbed a beer. Maybe you guys walking down the st. I. I don't want to give away too much. Here is what you just said. Middle of story is what I just heard happen.
- [111:50]
J
Yeah, I.
- [111:50]
H
He had had a little bit of grandpa's cough medicine.
- [111:53]
E
Hell yeah.
- [111:53]
A
Yeah, that's. Speaking of Columbus, Ohio, Ohio State legend AJ Hawk has the last question for you here, Kenny. Yeah, Kenny.
- [111:59]
I
I mean, you talked about Braves. It's hard not to keep following up on Braves. I've been to a Toby Keith concert with the Braves when I was in college. Braves kind of hosted us when we went RIP Toby. It was amazing. Did you ever think of hiring Braves to come out? We saw J.J. watt tackle a guy on stage one time. Were you ever worried that was going to happen with Braves?
- [112:17]
H
Well, I mean, I thought about hiring him last year when he didn't have nothing something to do, but, you know, he could come out and sell T shirts for me.
- [112:25]
A
Yeah, good idea.
- [112:29]
H
But Braves is always look Braves. It kind of goes back to what I was saying about the team this year. I mean, Mike Vrabel is great for morale. He's just great. And so he's just a great friend and great to be around. And you can see that you. Like I said, you can see his mentality and his positive energy. Energy just. It's just infectious. And I'm very proud for what they're doing up there.
- [112:52]
A
I'm very proud of you getting your first book done alongside.
- [112:54]
H
Thank you, man.
- [112:55]
A
Gleason, you get photos that you've probably never seen before from Kenny. That boat right up there. Hey. Now this boat down here, six gear. This up here is just him hanging out with nothing but the ocean to see. A lot of behind the scenes photos in the book that's available next Tuesday called Heart, Life and music. Tickets to his next fear round available this Friday. Hell yeah. Boys of Fall documentary brought to you by Sports center with appearances by Sean Payton and a list of other football legends available now. Kenny, you're the man. We can't wait to see you back on the road.
- [113:23]
H
Thank you for having me, guys. I appreciate you.
- [113:25]
A
You're the best. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Kenny Chesney. Yeah, Kenny. Sean Payton, Bobby Batten, Joe Namath, Bill Parcells, Nick Saban, John Gruden, Tony Dungy, all a part of that. Boys of Fall Doc.
- [113:35]
B
Damn.
- [113:36]
A
Yeah, he is. His songs, you know, because country, you know, you could talk about. You got heartbreak, you know, you got other stuff going on. Kenny's giving life lessons in it. Oh, you got life mindset lessons that are disguised as can't we all get along? You know, he's buying a boat in there and everything. But then the actual messaging of the song is like, hey, we got a life to live here. Let's not be kind of dragged down by other bullshit that you can't control. So I think a lot of sports people love Kenny for good reason. I am one of them. I think A AJ is as well, so we're thankful he stopped by. On that note, we'll continue digitally where we got a Q takeaways. Nice. Taking away. His are still gone. And then also top five performing offensive lines from week eight of the NFL season. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change their life. We'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye. Feel like we really nailed that.
- [114:25]
B
Boom.
- [114:26]
A
Like we really nailed that A. It's on the other side of this break. It's all a time. Are you worried about that at all? Do you feel good about that? Have you been preparing for that? We just had Kenny Chesney on. Then it's AQ time.

Hello beautiful people and welcome back to our hum of the boat the Thunderdome on this watt Wednesday, October 29, 2020 five hour three the program begins now. Football is magical. That's AJ Hawk. The toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Love the hat.
- [116:43]
B
Thank you. Yeah, it felt like a Wednesday hat. You know JJ Watson the trenches but.
- [116:48]
A
Not I'll kill you. Oh.
- [116:50]
B
Oh. Yes.
- [116:51]
A
That's a 12 year NFL vet. Should Bo champion AQ ship. We'll go in the trenches later today for the top five offensive lines. That was a very clear I'll kill you. Now the thought about that is he's on edge a little bit. He's on edge a little bit with what happened to those decorations. Let's go to 1/2 of the Hammer Cowboys AP Tone Odds on him getting any of those things back. If you were to score it or handicap that at this moment Here I.
- [117:19]
D
I think they're raising by the moment. You know, originally I thought there was no chance, but now that we've talked about it on the show, a good bit and I think potentially there's a chance he shows up with a note on his door that says, hey, we will give him back. We need him for our Halloween party. But until then there are.
- [117:33]
A
Yeah. So October or November 1, we will get you Sunday. We need. We got a lit Halloween party, bro. And you happen to have the best decorations on our campus. So we'll get them back to you later. We have hope that takes place. Nonetheless, we hope your Halloween isn't spoiled because of these boys.
- [117:50]
C
That's if I don't find the coordinates first. If I find out the coordinates that skeleton will be.
- [117:56]
A
Put an air tag.
- [117:56]
I
Didn't you put an air tag on that thing? You could track those kids down.
- [117:59]
C
Yeah, I should have done that.
- [118:00]
A
I don't. Whoa, whoa. You did do that, remember?
- [118:02]
G
I did do that.
- [118:03]
B
Yeah, you did.
- [118:03]
G
Yeah.
- [118:04]
D
That's how you're going to find their coordinates. Not illegal technology.
- [118:06]
A
No, that maybe he's got. He's exhausting all resources.
- [118:12]
E
Yeah, he went all the way to the top.
- [118:13]
B
Well, it does do special thing.
- [118:14]
E
Yeah.
- [118:14]
I
You do jiu jitsu with billionaires in a basement. I would assume they have some connections.
- [118:17]
A
And what else did he go do when he went out in the woods? Remember, Remember his AQ Shipley? Super duper military man. Remember that little run he had? My goodness. Yeah.
- [118:26]
I
Oh, you know all kinds of people. Aq. Yeah.
- [118:30]
A
You remember who he was in those woods with the people? Yes. You say all kinds of people. What, what type of people are those people?
- [118:35]
I
They all saw people that take out bad people.
- [118:38]
A
They all saw his Instagram story and.
- [118:40]
E
Said, excuse me, this ain't right.
- [118:41]
B
Who did this?
- [118:41]
A
And then AQ was like, I know, my daughter loved that. And they're like, not, no, didn't fight for that. You know, that's basically what happened in this entire thing. And I genuinely, I've said this multiple times just from hearing the behind the scenes conversations that are taking place. These boys have no idea that they happen to.
- [118:59]
I
You don't think.
- [119:00]
A
I, I think it's a random hit. I, I think they saw the decorations. I don't think they knew it was AQ Shipley. Now on that note, I don't think they know AQ Shipley either. If they did, did and heard everything that we heard and all the resources that are potentially being used right now, I think they would have maybe just Said, you know what? That is really sweet decoration.
- [119:17]
I
What are they going to do with this stuff though? They can't go put it up in their yard.
- [119:20]
A
In the house.
- [119:21]
B
Yeah.
- [119:22]
A
It's going.
- [119:23]
I
You got a house with a 30 foot ceiling that. Look at that.
- [119:26]
A
Whatever.
- [119:27]
E
Fried house.
- [119:28]
A
He's fried high. He's a frat AQ.
- [119:30]
I
You know, AQ's got a. He's got to walk frat house row with a bat in his hand. Just going there blasting everybody.
- [119:35]
A
And a gun too. Right? To Arizona. Yeah. Okay. So on. On that note, I've gotten a couple messages since we debuted this entire situation on ESPN to a couple from a couple people. Former frat president. I'd send freshmen out to go steal people's decorations every year. Bro. That's what it was told. So 100% that thing is at a university if it is local is what I was told by a couple of different frat bros. Now I get thrown into the frat bro world. I was never in a frat. But I understand. I do have some boy white. Look. So you assume I do. I do happen to know a lot of frat bros. That is something they said. Guaranteed. That was those pledges. That's what they were doing. Hey. You want to be. Yeah. Go find some good ones. And those boys came back. We got them. We hit the mother load. They're the kings.
- [120:21]
C
I also got a message that GCU is a Christian university. No Greek life. So guess what narrowed down to one university. Tempe. Arizona. Here I come.
- [120:29]
A
Okay. Arizona. Arizona State.
- [120:31]
F
Yep.
- [120:31]
I
What if they're high schoolers? They could be high school kids.
- [120:34]
A
I don't know. High school kid. Where are they gonna put them?
- [120:37]
E
I know where to stash it.
- [120:38]
B
Yeah.
- [120:38]
I
You don't. You don't have no plan. You just want to take it. That's the thing. Like you know where.
- [120:42]
F
What do you mean?
- [120:42]
A
Boys got a plan.
- [120:44]
E
What do you think?
- [120:44]
I
It's at the bar market. We'll sell it to somebody else.
- [120:48]
A
I didn't think about them potentially trying.
- [120:49]
E
Skeletons do sell out market.
- [120:51]
D
They sell out quickly.
- [120:52]
A
You need to go Facebook marketplace all.
- [120:53]
C
Day yesterday, all over and offer up.
- [120:58]
I
What's the reward? What's the reward? If we find any information.
- [121:00]
A
What'd you say? $10,000?
- [121:01]
F
Yeah.
- [121:02]
C
100%.
- [121:02]
A
10,000 bucks. Which is about the amount of money that's spent on the thing. So you frat bro. I know that you probably kind of weave your way up the entire corporate chain over there. Fraternity chain. But you could potentially get 10,000 bucks too. If Any information that leads to the return of Mr. Skeleton, who is loved by the Shipley family.
- [121:21]
C
Loved.
- [121:22]
A
Okay. We won't even talk about what you did to. To the other one. Broke his legs.
- [121:26]
E
Yeah, exactly.
- [121:27]
C
Removed his spine from the head.
- [121:29]
A
Can't have it.
- [121:30]
C
Can't have it severed.
- [121:31]
A
We need Mr. Skelly back for the Shipley family. And there's $10,000 to the tip that leads to Mr. Skeleton's return. All right. Good luck out there. Be good humans.
- [121:42]
D
Be good humans.
- [121:45]
A
Would like to stress this again. I had no idea this generation still had this in them. Sounds like the Frappros said, hey, we've always had. Yeah, we got lit parties. Yeah. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man whose brain is so big. Isn't it?
- [121:58]
E
Oh, yeah.
- [121:59]
A
It ate up all the hair follicles.
- [122:01]
C
His brain did have.
- [122:04]
D
Accused too.
- [122:05]
I
He laughed right away.
- [122:09]
B
It's compliment. It's true.
- [122:12]
A
That just came out. I apologize. There wasn't a lot of thought behind that. Ladies and gentlemen, if it's time for another college football convo with Stanford. Steve, your brain ate up all the hair follicles from the inside out. It was kind of an attack of your intelligence, you know, on the hair there. Thank you for joining us.
- [122:29]
G
I got nothing.
- [122:30]
A
Yeah, yeah, me neither. I. I'll tell you what, I don't know where it came from. Steve, huge weekend. We're heading out to Utah. First Big 12 game for college game day in a year and a half, two years, whatever it is. Excited to get out there. Electrified environment the last time we were there. This game, I mean, the slate is what it is. You know, last two weeks, I think there's been interesting slate conversation. College football will still deliver this game, though. Huge, I think, for the outcome of the Big 12 as a whole. Stanford. Steve, is that how you're viewing Cincy, Utah right now? And how should we be looking at it?
- [122:59]
G
Yeah, I'm fired up. To get to see Cincinnati. They've been a great story. I love to run through some names with AJ on that O line, their interior O line, which I think is a top five unit in the sport. A bunch of Ohio guys. Xenia High, Wayne High Versa, Versailles. Sorry pronunciations, but it starts and ends with this guy right here. Brendan Sworesby's been unbelievable since week one. This offense is fifth in the country and 41 point points per game. First in the country in yards per play at 7.7 and third in the country. And explosive play rate. They've been all awesome. It's because of the offensive line. And that guy Soursby, who's going to get a shot the next level, he's a transfer from Indiana. He's 240 pounds. He's accounted for 27 touchdowns and one interception, which was a pretty costly interception because that was the end of that at the end of the Nebraska game. But this team has all the goods. They're plus 700 to to win the Big 12 and they got this game in Salt Lake City. They get Provo to come to them and they end the season at tcu. I think they have all the makings of being a playoff team, Pat.
- [124:07]
A
The state of Cincinnati obviously back. They lose to Nebraska in a neutral site opening week at Kansas City, I believe. And everybody just says, yep, this is exactly what we thought. Since then, Sourceby's led the boys all the way back. Huge one in Utah. What did he miss there?
- [124:22]
D
I mean, Steve said If just for SBE, 27 touchdowns to one interception is just absurd. Their whole running game in general is absurd. They are incredible over on the ground. These two teams kind of mock each other. They both love to run the ball with running quarterbacks. My question for you, Steve, because I haven't been able to find it on the Internet yet and my main takeaway is last week Devin Dampier did not play. It was true freshman Bird Ficklin who ran for 150 yards, had three total touchdowns. Do we know if we were going to get Dampier or if we're going to get the true freshman Bird Ficklin. What a name.
- [124:58]
G
What compounds this tone is going back. We've had all the the issues with trying to figure out the Cam Rising quarterback situation right at Utah. Coach Wick keeps everything close to the vest. And now you. I'm not sure they know who's going to play, so we're definitely not going to know. I'm sure the authority thaml has every single button pressed to try and get.
- [125:20]
D
This coach never gives it out either.
- [125:22]
G
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You know, knowing that we're going to be there too. It's a 10:15 Eastern game, so Utah has been plenty hard to figure this out in years past. And I think this is only going to get tougher as we get closer to Saturday night.
- [125:38]
A
The mighty Utah student section. Right. The muss is what it is. Their record at home is insane. Do you think Cincinnati's got the bill to go into a Utah and and get a dub? I don't want to make you to make a pick here obviously ahead of time here, but is this a game that could Obviously go Cincinnati's way. It sounds like you were leaning that way earlier in your first answer.
- [125:56]
G
Absolutely. Because I think that offensive line is going to travel, Pat. I think they're that legit. They're nasty against Baylor last week. Baylor, you know how high flying offense. Spencer at quarterback, who's an NFL guy, eight drives, 56 plays. That's all they had the ball for Baylor. Cincinnati does a great job job on offense and I think that, that that's going to travel and bode well for them. And a monster. Monster spies. I mentioned the game time's tough for an east coast team to go out there, but we're in, you know, we're going to be in November by Saturday. Nobody wants to hear all the bs. They want to see teams play well. Cincinnati has the goods.
- [126:31]
A
Have a great Halloween. We'll see you on Saturday. In November, they're 2 and oh in home night games this season. Utah, they're outsco, outscoring their opponents at night. 95 to 70, 17 out there. Tough place to play. Cincinnati might have the goods. What else should we be looking at this college football weekend? Stanford.
- [126:47]
G
Steve, I was just looking at the preseason rankings and remembering, you know, when the rankings came out and some November 1st was a day, right. So going back and reading, you know, stuff today, we were supposed to have 7, 7 top 25 matchups this week according to the preseason ranking. So that just shows you the volatility. Penn State, Ohio State was good, was 2 versus 3 before the season started. You know, it's, it's, it's what's great about this sport. But all those teams, you know, we're supposed to have numbers against them and then we end up at Salt Lake City for, you know, a matchup with two teams that Listen, Big 12, say what you want. Arizona State put the scare of death in Texas last year. It's a good conference. It's absolutely wide open. And what's good about the Big 12 is we're going to have a bunch of these teams play each other down the stretch here where we're not going to get in the acc.
- [127:43]
A
Let's talk about the SEC having a battle against each other towards the end of this whole thing. Obviously got Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Vandy. Texas is a gigantic game. Go ahead, con man.
- [127:54]
B
Yeah. Stanford. Steve, I'm surprised you chose to bring game day to Utah since you decide those things. But looking at which is just crazy.
- [128:02]
A
I'm sure byu, Denton, Texas too would have been sick. Obviously the holy war a couple weeks ago. Steve says let's go there. We probably end up going there.
- [128:09]
E
Now.
- [128:09]
A
Utah has been very kind to us and obviously incredible game, but Steve said, no, no, let's not go to the Holy war. Let's go to Ole Miss, Georgia. Let's go out to Utah, Cincinnati. Yeah.
- [128:18]
B
Clearly some biases against the BYU Mormons. Kind of weird coming from a Stanford guy, but they love the high horse, so you know how it is.
- [128:25]
G
Quarterback.
- [128:27]
B
Whatever, Steve. Hey, look, you can spin it whatever way you want. We know you decide where game day goes, but I would start that by.
- [128:33]
A
The way Stanford Steve decides where game day goes. Ain't that right, Steve?
- [128:38]
G
Not true.
- [128:38]
A
Oh, no, Dave, you're being humble right now.
- [128:43]
G
True at all. Not even close.
- [128:45]
A
I'll tell you what. I get messages as if I decide. Yeah, right. Have you read the stories about me and the people that actually decide? Yeah, I. I think I am. I'm way at the bot, Steve. Probably above me, but I'm. That note, we do not make that decision. That is a. And. And we're sitting in the pocket on the Internet and I just got these college kids, you sell out corporate piece of. I'm like, I would have love to come in Texas. You don't think I would have loved to come down Navy North Texas. I would absolutely love it. And on that. On that note. Yeah, there we would have loved to go to that game. And we're. Each week though, there is difficulty and also can't stress this enough. Being a part of a game that people are a part of, of a show that people want is like a very, very cool thing. But these are not easy decisions each week. Getting back to Utah is awesome, I think.
- [129:28]
B
Yeah.
- [129:29]
A
And Steve, thank you for making that happen for us.
- [129:31]
B
And Utah is beautiful this time of year. It's kind of like around when we went the. The first time. It is gorgeous in Utah right now. But Steve, looking at the weekend, Vandy, Texas kind of seems to be damn near a playoff game. If Vandy wins, it feels as though, you know, they got Tennessee in the last week, but aside from that, Vanny might, you know, that might be enough. Especially if they only have one loss going into Tennessee. And then on the other side, you know, Texas, if Texas continues to win, there's a chance they creep back up into that top 12. What do you think about that game? Do you see kind of the under. The over under looks at. Looks like 44 and a half, if I'm reading that correctly. That's pretty low. How do you see that one going? And should we really start to thinking about Vandy being a college football playoff team.
- [130:17]
G
Absolutely. I think they're a better football team than Texas is right now. And I saw Cirk had Arch out there at practice today, but he's still going under concussion protocol. And they get Michael Taft, a safety who really holds that defense together. But being on the field last week with Vandy, everybody's gonna say it's an ugly game, whatever. It was physical. Missouri's not a bad football team either. They got some. I mean, Jeremiah Trotter son is an absolute stud at linebacker and there were some major collisions in that game, which was great to see. But I. Vanderbilt is, is, is. I look at them as a playoff team. They got a tough stretch ahead of them, you know, with the road game, as you mentioned in Austin. And then, I mean, if that game in Knoxville is ever for a playoff spot, those two schools, it's. It's big brother, little brother. But that'll be, I mean, in Neland, that would be insane if we got that for, you know, a possible play in game to the playoff. But yeah, I still think Vanderbilt, I like Vanderbilt. This week against Texas, all around lines of scrimmage, quarterback play. It sides to me with Vandy, hey.
- [131:20]
A
They were good to us down there at game day, brother. I think Vandy people were. That crowd showed up. A lot of like alumni showed up too. It was very obvious. Like people just associated with Vandy showed up for game day one to represent for us. They had people in like house, like houses. I don't know what the hell that was. And then like walkways, people were staying in everywhere. We're very appreciative of that. They felt, I don't want to say obligated, but it did feel like they were putting an extra effort to show up for game day. Like they were thankful we were there. That was very cool feeling. And then Diego Pavia and Clark Lee, what they have done with that entire culture is like they expect to win these games, Steve, very quickly. They've expected to win these games.
- [131:55]
G
Yeah. I also go back pat, to the field goal, the intensity when we finally got through thank the world where we're using bike racks now, because if we were still in the old ropes days, that would have been complete mayhem. Complete because you had the band tucked into the stairs and there was really nowhere to go. And then everybody from the set came back up and like you lit. I was like walking into the old gladiator thing. You know, you're walking through the path and then boom, it pops. And the intensity was just incredible. Unbelievable moment, obviously, that, you know, that you provide with that kid.
- [132:29]
A
No, no, we. Yeah, lived up. It.
- [132:32]
G
Lived up to the hype, big time.
- [132:33]
A
Yeah. Tyler hang with the best kick we've ever had.
- [132:35]
I
By far.
- [132:36]
A
By far the best kick we've ever had. And socks. In socks, obviously, with great vibes. He was there all night. That dude run on, like, an hour of sleep, two hours of sleep, whatever it is, Sleeping outside. These people that are a part of this. And even though he was a kicker, by the way, had to win that.
- [132:51]
E
Yes.
- [132:52]
A
Yeah, guys. You know what I'm saying? Aj, you know what I'm saying? The guy's wearing socks and. Yeah, for sure.
- [132:58]
I
You're going to fall down on that one.
- [132:59]
A
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to win that. We are going to be hired. I was trying to get everybody in my life that was trying to go up for one. I'm trying to beat them, too. I'm. If your hips are above their hips, you win that. That is what that basically is. So, Steve, if we ever go up for one of those. No, I am trying to win. Yeah, I. Y.
- [133:13]
G
Okay.
- [133:13]
A
Yeah.
- [133:13]
D
I. I never knew it was a competition.
- [133:15]
A
Oh, yeah, brother. Yeah, it is. Certainly because if you get dunked on there, you don't want to get posterized in one of those. Tyler kind of got posterized there. But. But in that Momo, he was in socks, and I don't think he knew he was going for it. Aj, do you know what I'm referring to here? Yes.
- [133:29]
I
Yeah, of course I do. That's. Yeah. If you know you're going to be outmatched, you just don't go up with the guy.
- [133:34]
A
Yeah.
- [133:34]
I
Like, I'm not going up with D, but D, but points up now. I'm good.
- [133:37]
A
Oh, you got an early jump him. So you gotta early jump him. Yeah. This is like, whenever you go in for, like, handshake with Adrian Peterson, you got to get in tight quick, and you got to attack him. If you're going up with debuts, you got to get early. Early, and up to him quick so he's not at his apex. You know, you cannot let him float because then you're looking up at this thing, and all of a sudden, that's when you start to fall. You know that? That's when you don't want to fall after. Yeah. Because he's hovering over top of it. Yeah. That is just laughing. That's not a situation you want to be in. So Tyler Huang, whenever he went up, I quickly surveyed the scene. Saw socks. I was like, all right, I got him here pretty good.
- [134:12]
E
But also, what if he, yeah, he's got bunnies.
- [134:14]
A
Yeah. I had no idea because how explosive he was on that kick. I love that kid. That kid was sick. Sarah Fuller, too. Thank you for coming through. Yeah, she legendary story from years back. She took a lot of shit from a lot of people on the Internet. Three time SEC champion as a goalie. I think now she's doing like business. Advertising. Yeah.
- [134:31]
B
For nil.
- [134:31]
A
Yeah, she, she's a beast. Sarah Fuller, absolute beast. And Tyler Huang making a kick. And what a magical moment down there in Vandy. Can it continue? I don't know. Go ahead, Tom.
- [134:39]
D
Yeah, it's a good question, Steve. I was looking at that slate right there and I saw usc. Nebraska stood out to me. Both teams have two losses. Is this a ipso facto elimination game for both teams?
- [134:51]
G
Yeah, you would think so. When you look at both resumes, the lack of wins, I mean, SC has the win over Michigan. That could possibly get better if Michigan runs the table. Nebraska's still looking for that moment. They do have the win over Cincinnati out of conference. But Nebraska needs to do some work in confidence conference if they're going to make a trip. I mean, both, I mean, it's just so tough when it seems so far away. And when you look at Indiana and Ohio State for what they've done, you know how impressive they've been on the field and when what they've done in their moments to, to beat the brakes off of teams, they've done it as dominant teams as we have in the country. And it's, it's, it's pretty, pretty impressive and it seems like, like a really far ride to get up to those two teams.
- [135:36]
A
I loved Desmond Howard's take on Ohio State though, because he's a Michigan man, obviously, so he is going to do what he's going to do. But him saying, do we know? Okay, I guess we know. All right. I, I, I guess we know that there are because they have, they've made it all look very easy. And Texas obviously was a close game, first game for both of them. And Texas would go on to be who Texas is. So it's like, I guess Ohio State, you can make that argument and dead certainly. Like, I'm not saying they're not a good team. I'm just saying, like, how do we really know? And they're not going to really get tested, you know, Ohio State's not really Michigan's last game of the year. What is Michigan we'll see by then. And then they're going to get in the playoffs not giving up a touchdown in more than two games maybe. So it's like what a dominating performance. And there has been things in the past where the dominant teams just dominate. Like hey, they are just a dominating team. But I am excited, I think we all are, to see what they have in a massive, massive, massive game. We haven't even really talked about him on game day, which I fucking hate. But it's because there hasn't been a lot of situations to really bring him up. The Big Ten though has been a talking point. Go ahead, Ty.
- [136:37]
E
Yes, Steve. Where we sit right now, you know, because everyone's kind of saying, hey, the Big Ten is going to be a three bid league. That's just kind of, that's just kind of how it is, unfortunately. What do you think the odds are though that as we get closer to this that a fourth Big Ten team is going to, to, you know, kind of show themselves and slide into the dance?
- [136:57]
A
Who you talking about, Ty?
- [136:59]
E
I'm talking specifically about the Iowa Hawkeye, Steve. Correct.
- [137:02]
G
Absolutely. It's a monster bye week. We gotta put in some more punt returns for touchdowns. They are electric.
- [137:08]
E
Bingo.
- [137:09]
G
They destroyed me last week with Minnesota.
- [137:12]
E
With pleasure.
- [137:12]
G
But that, I mean Gronowski, that game was over at the middle of the second quarter. And I'm really, I mean to me the, the 3, 4, 4 team tie, Iowa's the team because they have the games available ahead and obviously everybody pointing to that game against Oregon next week at home. But when you look at the two losses and what they're going to be stacked up against to Pat's point, with the SEC teams playing everybody. You know, you look at Illinois falling off last week when they lost to Washington. Washington has had a chance to go to Michigan. They lose. I was sitting there because when you look at Oregon, Oregon still has a trip to Kinnick, they still have a trip to Husky Stadium and they have to play USC at home. Oregon's not out of this thing by a, by a lot. So I look at the possibility of three and four teams. It would to me it would have to be Iowa and USC or possibly Michigan if they were still to, to run the table here and be Michigan. But I'm, I'm not, I'm not counting out the idea of four teams from the Big Ten because, because again the SEC beats up everybody else. You don't know how the Big 12 is going to play out if, if somebody wins and you know, BYU runs The table that could be a one bid league. So that, that would be in favor of getting an extra team in from the Big Ten. But yeah, Monster bye week. And Oregon at Kinnick. We. We got a kickoff time for that one yet?
- [138:32]
E
Not yet confirmed. Not a night game though.
- [138:34]
A
So is that good or bad?
- [138:37]
E
Honestly, I don't, I, I don't know if it matters. I really don't.
- [138:41]
G
Why?
- [138:41]
E
Well, I, I mean like. Yeah. You'd prefer it being. I think playing at home. I think Kinnick is a massive home field advantage.
- [138:47]
A
Just regardless.
- [138:48]
E
Yeah. No matter what night.
- [138:49]
A
Awesome. But also noon some.
- [138:51]
E
But like you said those central noon games, like you, you can get lulled to sleep.
- [138:55]
A
You know, I guess it's 11 o' clock central or whatever.
- [138:58]
E
Exactly.
- [138:58]
A
And then Oregon, that's 9am I guess. Yeah. 9am Local.
- [139:02]
E
Right.
- [139:03]
A
Not that they're not used to it in day. Lanning does not give a. About that excuse and I respect that out of Dan Lanning. He's seemingly the only one that hasn't been like we signed up to be in a conference is six hours away and we got to travel six hours.
- [139:16]
E
Yeah.
- [139:17]
A
Every time. He's the only one not saying that.
- [139:19]
E
Right. Which I, I appreciate that. But I, I also have seen people looking ahead at like the weather and like there's a chance that it could be just like a prototypical like really cold. A lot of flurries. Which would definitely play 11:00am yeah. Which would play into Iowa. His hand quite a bit.
- [139:33]
A
Well, and that's also what we talked about with those west coast teams. Not that Oregon has perfect weather. They, they certainly have a lot of rain and can deal with that whole thing. But the thought was like, hey, this USC team's good. Wait until they got to travel to Illinois at a 9am local in November. Whenever it's oh, can they get up for that game or Northwestern or one of these other. I would just so happen to be the place hopefully for in their eyes against Oregon in a couple weeks. And I'll let you know that although he picked up to Minnesota whenever, right before said seg about picking the next Big Ten team on game day, Stanford Steve drops in my ear, I have a direct to Stanford Steve. He goes, who you picking here? I go, I have no idea. Iowa, I guess I'm probably going to do Iowa. And he goes to your point. And he drops it. He has like, he is a fan of Iowa.
- [140:18]
E
Oh yeah, yeah.
- [140:19]
A
He is a. Steve is an Iowa fan because literally within half a second of me saying maybe Iowa, Iowa. He Goes boom. Oregon. I got Minnesota. Then they got Oregon after the bye week. And then also if you look at Gronowski, what he's doing, I'm like, right, thank you, Steve. So he is an Iowa fan. Even though he won against you guys.
- [140:34]
G
I will say at no point did I say Minnesota was going to win the game.
- [140:37]
B
You did.
- [140:37]
G
I just thought eight and a half points was too many, that's all.
- [140:40]
A
Now you pick the places the game day goes y and when you pick the spread, you're picking the team as well. We all know that's how that goes. Now, speaking of picking things, we asked you to put together a Heisman list. Now, this is in no particular order, but we would like an order maybe if you could potentially tell us. You got these five guys in the Heisman conversation, who do you like the most? Or is it literally anybody's ball game?
- [141:05]
G
Oh, I put. That's. That's the order. I have Marcel at the top. I have Mendoza. Second. Ty. Third, Jeremiah Smith, best player in the sport.
- [141:12]
J
Fourth.
- [141:13]
G
And Horvath. It was tough. I looked at Jeremiah. I love Horvath. Has more rushing yards. He's a quarterback. He's still worthy.
- [141:20]
A
We're going to learn a lot more.
- [141:21]
G
About Navy as they ramp up this schedule in the American playing against Notre Dame. But I think that the, the way Marcel Reed does things, the way he got himself out of trouble that second half, I mean, that's the best game he ever played in that uniform. And he still had a pick in the end zone like they could have had another touchdown in that game. His weapons are fantastic, but his elusiveness and how he, you know, the accuracy. We saw what he did at Notre Dame, you know, everybody wants to talk about that. He still let him, let him down the field. I love what he brings to the table and I have him as they. As the front runner now.
- [141:58]
A
He. Whenever he started playing for Texas A and M, everybody said, man, this guy is upside. Huge, huge, huge, huge. We're at it. We're finding it, aren't we? We're there. And it's not just him. That team defense coming together off obviously becoming the best on third down in the entire country. At the beginning of the year, they weren't. But we all assumed that Elko's defense would find shape. They have on offense, they have weapons and their offensive line moves and they have a real home field advantage as well. It's like Texas A and M, only undefeated team left in the sec. They're for real, Brother Toad.
- [142:27]
D
Yeah, they are absolutely for real. We've talked about it.
- [142:29]
A
Like why not Marcel Reed with the Heisman? That would be crazy. Texas A and M winning the Heisman I 20, 25.
- [142:35]
D
He's got the numbers. They score 40 points almost every single game. I mean, the, the only guy that I, you know, just doing research for this weekend, like SS got 27 touchdowns. So one interception. He left Pavia off the list. People aren't going to be happy with that. Trinidad Chambliss still has got a lot of win it.
- [142:52]
A
Dad, you're talking.
- [142:53]
D
Cham still has a lot of games left.
- [142:55]
E
Go ahead.
- [142:56]
G
Yeah, it's a great list. The loss, two turnovers inside the 10 yard line. Heisman Trophy winners. Can't do that now he has moved.
- [143:05]
B
True love that.
- [143:06]
G
Don't worry. His brothers found me after the show and wanted to know what my thoughts were. So I talked to them. Talk to them like the Yokich brothers.
- [143:14]
A
Yes, they are. They were right over our shoulders. Like literally when I was doing the baseball thing over at that set, the side. Well, I don't know what they're called. The, the. What are the two things called? The one that's closest to the main set. What's that thing called?
- [143:25]
G
The demo. Demo field.
- [143:26]
A
Okay. It's a demo field.
- [143:27]
E
Sure.
- [143:28]
A
Obviously, when we're out there, we interview the coaches. Yeah, yeah. You know, we got the thing up there. So Kirk and Saban were doing film at the Zotron. There it is.
- [143:38]
D
Okay.
- [143:39]
A
The Zotron. That's what I'm talking about, Steve. That's what I'm talking about, Steve at the Zotron. Which is tough walk this. This past week. I mean, it was. You're going through it. You're going through it. I mean, Evander Pill were very nice, but that thing was, that was way back there. It was great to see everybody. So while Kirk and Nick are doing that, we're on the. The demo field. Yeah. Okay, let's learn the name of. And that's right in front of those bleachers that you guys see. They're brought to you.
- [144:03]
E
Old Dominion Freightline bleachers.
- [144:04]
A
There it is. Boom. The baseball team's all right there. Okay, so the Vandy boys are just sitting there having a good time. So they're like what, seven to eight feet away from me at that time. And I'm just standing there watching this thing. And then obviously I turn and then you got the Pavia brothers stand standing right behind him. Literally like two rows behind him, just sitting there. Ah. And then every time DEZ did A full breakdown on the defense and what they were going to do. Missouri's defense. You just saw the Pavia brothers behind them like literally going like this in real time. They were right behind the Vandy boys there. That was a special place there. And you're right. The Pavia boys will find you. And I was awesome. I was telling those Andy boys that if I was to get them with one. At ease. Okay.
- [144:43]
I
That's a great, great video.
- [144:44]
A
I'm striking them all. The out. That's what I just told all of you. The out. I said my vertical movement. My vertical movement. I got 36 inches of vertical.
- [144:54]
G
Your balance point drops off a table.
- [144:55]
D
Your balance point right there. Unbelievable.
- [144:58]
A
I will A Bach.
- [145:00]
F
Whoa.
- [145:01]
I
Maybe.
- [145:02]
A
No, that is.
- [145:03]
I
You're pausing for three seconds on one leg balance.
- [145:05]
B
That's.
- [145:06]
A
That's. This isn't from the strength stretch, obviously. Yeah.
- [145:09]
E
You ever seen Hideo Nomo pitch?
- [145:11]
A
Yeah. I mean you're. Why you gotta be such an. Just look at. I'm doing those in snakeskins by the way, just so we are on a demo field. But on that note, as I was standing there, I was like, wow. Pretty good balance out of me right now. Like I was actually like pretty excited about how I was kind of sturdy with the ground. Felt like I had a good base. I was actually the. The time you saw me pitch was when I was about to fall. So that was my body deciding what was right, right for me. And I don't think that's a Bach at all. That sounds like the most natural move of all time. Age. And maybe this is what Shohei needs to start doing.
- [145:42]
E
Yeah. Maybe something.
- [145:43]
A
Think about a couple single throw the.
- [145:46]
E
Timing off a little bit.
- [145:47]
A
Single leg squat and then get that vertical horizontal movement. You know that 36 inches. This guy.
- [145:54]
E
Yeah.
- [145:54]
A
Forcing fast sinker goes down yonder. 36 inch. That's a block. It ain't. You don't get count for after an 18 inning game.
- [146:01]
E
Yeah.
- [146:02]
A
Is that thing going 36 though? I saw?
- [146:04]
E
No, it was.
- [146:05]
D
Yeah.
- [146:05]
E
Oh yeah. The sweeper he threw for the homer. That. That looked more like a 14 inches of vertical. Not even.
- [146:11]
A
Oh 5 inches at least.
- [146:13]
E
Yeah.
- [146:13]
A
Steve, you know what I'm talking about. So let's go to. Let's go to another question about college ball. AQ has one. You know, these jobs that are open, seemingly becoming, you know, pretty prevalent. We don't have a. Who the taking them. Go ahead. Thank you.
- [146:27]
C
Yeah, that's a great question. We have a lot of job openings and it seemed as if when coach James Franklin was on the set of game day with you guys a couple weeks ago.
- [146:35]
A
You loved.
- [146:36]
C
He wants to coach and he wants to coach again soon. Any news on him?
- [146:41]
G
I do not have any news on him. I just. As far as the jobs, aq, I feels like the people that have been in the business of coaching and cover it feel like the LSU is the number one thing. So whoever's the number one person, why is that? They're going to go after. And I feel establishing a pecking or like I don't, I don't know where he ranks as far as what schools feel like. And, and fits. Obviously that's everybody's new favorite word with Brian Kelly not fitting at lsu. So that's come back full circle, you know, with who, with who?
- [147:19]
B
Fit.
- [147:19]
G
Where you know what that meant?
- [147:21]
A
You saying that's a new word. That's not a new word. We all knew what that meant. Family. We saw it, we heard it.
- [147:26]
G
No, no, I was just saying the fit word everybody's using this week. Just. It's come back, I think.
- [147:31]
A
Is there any other way to describe it? That ain't going to work, like at this time, you know, when, when that happened, when that happened, we weren't as well versed. I don't think in college football as we are now.
- [147:41]
B
No.
- [147:41]
A
Right. I. I don't think at that stage, this particular program not using Stanford. Steve, you obviously have been in there for long. This particular program, myself included, I don't think we were on a place to give like a real opinion where it's like, Brian Kelly's a good football coach.
- [147:54]
G
He'll figure it out.
- [147:55]
A
And he got five stars falling out of trees down there. That's what literally what Nick Saban said. And why is it such a good job? I heard a lot of people say why there three. Three coaches won national championship down there. Three different eras. Nick Saban, Mad Hatter, Last Miles or Oron. And whenever those three are able to win a national championship, maybe those two able to win that, you start thinking to yourself, hey, this place might be able to have enough talent to go on and win it. Which is why I thought Brian Kelly, good football coach, he'll be able to do that. If he can get the talent, he'll be able to do his thing. And then you start thinking to yourself, fit is the right word. Because it's like Brian Kelly in the deep, deep south there in Baton Rouge. And, and with how emotional that play, let alone how emotional he is, but also them. It's like if. If that was to happen now, I think this particular program would go okay. I think we would have a much different conversation about it than we did maybe a few years back. And I assume Brian Kelly's thinking the same thing. Stanford, Steven, I think he's thinking like everybody said it. I knew it. Notre Dame was a great job. For me, that could have been literally forever, let alone now with what they're able to do with nil and remaining in independent. I assume Brian Kelly's having a couple of those fit moments as well from the decision making process. Or is the 54 million he's getting over the next six years. Like it was good fit. Yeah, it was a good fit for all.
- [149:11]
G
Yeah, I think you get that to fall back on. It's so good. I've just been astounded at how it feels like Notre Dame fans are happier that he got fired than LSU fans. They were very happy where they start to, you know, tell the stories. You know, LSU guys talking about how former players weren't welcome back. Notre Dame players and fans, fans, alumni, talking about, you know, since Marcus got the job back, you see Joe Montana back at games, you see Jerome Bettis back at games. Tim Brown, like, they like that, the established tradition that they have. So it's been, it's been funny to see the Notre Dame reaction of seeing Kelly get. Get going.
- [149:45]
A
Yeah, the Irish will certainly hold a grudge. You know, that certainly is something that will certainly happen.
- [149:51]
B
No doubt.
- [149:51]
A
I'm right in the middle of one right now. Probably about 10 of them, actually. Steve, I appreciate the hell out of you, man. You're the best. Thank you for joining us. We'll see you in Utah. Oh, whoa, whoa. You're right. I completely forgot. Do you want to do. Do you want to debut your bracket right now?
- [150:06]
G
I'll show my bracket. Yeah, let's do it.
- [150:08]
A
Let's show his br. Show the bracket. He's got a big old bracket now. This is not just another college football playoff bracket. This ain't like the utter. No, it's not college football playoff brackets. This is staying for thieves projected at this exact moment college football playoff bracket. Now, anything can happen in college ball. You're talking about 18 to 40 year olds playing okay at this stage of college football with how long people are playing for. But anything can happen in college football. So this is as of this exact moment. Why do you think these things, Steve? And what sticks out that people will probably give you the most for? James Madison makes their way into the college football player.
- [150:46]
D
Big win last time night.
- [150:47]
G
Yeah. I, I really like what I've seen from James Madison. People are gonna have a problem with that. Everybody, you know, at the American Conference, you know, I think they're all going to beat up each other. And that gives multiple losses. And I look at James Madison with the ability to run the table and having a close loss at Louisville, who beat Miami. And JMU was leading in the second half of that game. It was tied in the fourth quarter and they were still playing two quarterbacks at time. At that time. I really like what James was. Madison brings to the table. As far as the G5. I, we talked about Cincinnati. I look at them. I mean, I mentioned plus 700 to win the Big 12, I believe is worth a shot. And then the top four, as you can see, I, I've talked to a couple guys that make the old lines out in Vegas right now. Today or tomorrow. If the Big Ten title game was right now, Ohio State would be a seven point favorite over Indiana. So I just went with chalk there.
- [151:39]
E
That's bullshit.
- [151:41]
G
Just. I'm just relaying.
- [151:44]
B
Okay. Okay.
- [151:45]
G
That's all I'm saying. I agree with it.
- [151:48]
A
So Alabama.
- [151:49]
G
Yep.
- [151:50]
A
Ranked fourth. Georgia ranked fifth. A&M ranked second in the Big Ten at 1 and 3. How do you get to that Final four? So you think this sec.
- [152:04]
G
I think those are the teams that play in the conference championship championship game. And the winners are higher, the losers are lower.
- [152:10]
A
All right. You know, ACC might get two teams and you got, you got two teams from the acc.
- [152:16]
D
So he thinks that Miami and Georgia Tech will be an undefeated Georgia Tech or a one loss Georgia Tech to Georgia in the last game of the year. They'll be in the championship game and Miami will win. I believe is what Steve is thinking here.
- [152:28]
G
Yeah.
- [152:29]
A
So Georgia Tech loses to Georgia, beats Miami. Me.
- [152:35]
G
No loses. What did I have? Yes, whatever you said.
- [152:40]
A
Yeah.
- [152:40]
B
It doesn't get punished. Sound like you doesn't get punished for the conference championship loss. Can we punt on Notre Dame? I'm sick of Notre Dame.
- [152:49]
A
What?
- [152:49]
B
Get him out of here. Indiana is the team of this state now. Notre Dame kick rocks. All right, you had your chance last year. Just shut up.
- [152:57]
A
You like Marcus Freeman.
- [152:59]
B
I like Marcus Freeman a lot. Lot. And I love Jeremiah. Love. Especially after Jen lot his piece on him. Like genuinely so excited for him. You know, in the NFL they had their chance. Get him the out of here.
- [153:10]
E
All right.
- [153:10]
B
This is IU State.
- [153:11]
A
Is he who they lose to Miami and A and M. Two teams are on here, brother.
- [153:16]
B
No. Incredible. I. I love it. I Mean, let's get JMU up to nine, you know, let's get someone else in there at 12. I, I'm just sick of seeing ND, especially up there because if ND comes in and gums Miami kicks the fucking piss out of him. I want to watch that. I won't watch that at all.
- [153:34]
A
Yeah, but that'd be what old school rivalry convicts Catholic Catholics. That'd be good. That'd be a build up. Okay, I did see that one tweet that old buddy said, you know what? Everybody on earth should hate me. He said, you guys want all the, you want everybody that's deserving to be in a playoffs, but it's going to be on you whenever it's two no name schools and nobody's watching or whatever. And everybody said, shut up, dude. We don't care about radio. What are you, a TV executive? You're worried about the advertising? All we want is good games here. We just want the best teams to represent and we want, and we're hoping for great games. Last year, first round was not last year. It won how it went and then, you know, kind of it rolls into the roof Rose Bowl a little bit there with Ohio State and Oregon. But I think there's like the better teams, the best teams are displayed and that's all we're looking for in this entire thing. Who are the best teams in the country. And then it kind of chips fall however they fall.
- [154:29]
B
Yeah, and that's what's stuck about the Rose Bowls. We missed like the only good kind of game as far as the first round was Arizona State, Texas, because Arizona State made that massive comeback. And it's like teams like that that have players like Scatter Boo. That then become. Become, you know, household names all of a sudden. Not that he wasn't before, but even more so. And then goes on to the NFL March Madness. Yeah, exactly.
- [154:50]
A
It is a little bit of a March Madness type feel.
- [154:52]
D
Go ahead, Steve. Why Cincy over? I don't know, BYU, Texas Tech, the other list of Big 12 teams that.
- [154:58]
G
Are, I think they dropped multiple games and Cincinnati runs the table.
- [155:01]
A
Okay.
- [155:01]
H
Wow.
- [155:02]
A
Oh, so he likes Cincinnati this weekend. He just gave us pick. Thanks, we appreciate you. All right, Steve. We appreciate that. The man who picks the college game day locations, the man who obviously has the. You're the best. Ladies and gentlemen, staff receiver.
- [155:16]
B
Yes.
- [155:18]
A
Thank you, Steve. Yeah, we'll put him on the spot, be the guy that picks the pigs.
- [155:22]
B
I mean, he, he is a wealth of information too. That's what's fun about putting guys, like, down the spot is that. Know what they're talking about.
- [155:27]
A
So he. He has a direct access to my ear. He has a button from his desk, and I have a button to Steve. It is hilarious. I'll forget the exact pronunciation of somebody's name that I'm about to say. I'm like. Because I'm on camera right now, too, so I am. What's that called?
- [155:45]
E
Miming?
- [155:46]
A
No, talk back. Oh, talk back. No, no, that's a guy.
- [155:49]
E
Like, ventriloquism.
- [155:50]
A
Ventriloquism. I'm like, ventriloquism through my mouth. Hey, Steve, what the fuck is that guy? Is it. Is it.
- [155:58]
E
Oh.
- [155:59]
C
Cause you're on camera.
- [155:59]
A
Yeah. Cause I'm on camera right now. Same with Hershey's I Something. Is it a hard A or a soft A on that thing? And then Steve, you're talking about Song of Polytelli. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Steve. All right. Yeah. Song of Polytelli is. He is just always kind of sitting there. The Iowa thing was awesome, like, because the Big Ten conversation in the meeting on Friday had, like, 16 different directions potentially, you know, because there was so many different. Like, is the top the best? Like, is the top the best in the country? Like, is this. What are we even talking about? 3 team bid, obviously. Who's this team who could potentially put people off track? Like, there's so many different ways to kind of attack it. So I didn't fully know. I don't think it was ever decided, really, maybe until the morning of what it was gonna be. And then Steve just going, hey, which way are you going with the blah, blah, blah. That was my first time learning of it. First of all, that. That's what we were doing. That's the conversation. Yep. Like, the fuck I thought of you saying. And I thought, here come. Why not Iowa? And he goes to your. Literally in the exact moment to your point, like, yeah, Steve. Looking out for me, dude. I. I appreciate you over there, Steve. You are the absolute man. But it may be they're always lingering. Always lingering. Always lingering. Felt like that.
- [157:16]
E
Yeah. Well, now, you know, they got two. I mean, they got a organ at home, and then they have to go to USC still. So, like. Like, they have some tough games, but, boy, they've been playing lights out the last couple weeks.
- [157:26]
A
What time is the USC game? Do you know when that is?
- [157:30]
E
I want to say that that's. It's not like a late night game, I don't think.
- [157:34]
A
How has Kirk handled this in the past? As he had out a day early. Get the boys ready. They travel out late. Do you know how he handles the travel?
- [157:41]
E
I would imagine that they'll be there a bit early and get comfortable.
- [157:46]
A
What's Ryan Day do? Has he gone west coast? Obviously go out to Oregon. They lost at the end of that last year.
- [157:51]
D
Wash Washington earlier this season.
- [157:53]
I
I assume they go the day before. I think they just go the day before.
- [157:56]
A
Treat it the same.
- [157:57]
I
I think so.
- [157:58]
A
It was a bit of a slow.
- [157:59]
D
First half for them too. And then they poured it on against Washington in the second half.
- [158:02]
A
They broke the 22 home game win for Washington if I do recall. Right. So that is tough place to play. Just regardless as a whole, a little bit of a slow start. I like the McVeigh going over to London. They went over same exact.
- [158:14]
B
That was incredible.
- [158:15]
A
I really enjoy that. Like, I like the. That mentality. Like just hey, we're treating this the same now. He wasn't in la. If he was in la. They probably head out two days earlier. But then them figuring out let's stay in Baltimore. Let's put these cleats all over this mound. Y. That's pretty cool memory for the boys. Like a bowl trip. It's like a bowl game.
- [158:32]
J
Yes.
- [158:33]
A
That's good for the team.
- [158:34]
I
Whole week. Whole week. Like in an off site. Like a alternate campus that you're practicing. Yeah, like that. That brings a little spark. A little, you know, you have a normal routine. You're used to seeing the same thing day, day out. I think that's a big deal.
- [158:45]
A
All right. I think so too. The Rams feel like they're for real. These college football teams may be separating themselves, but on any given Saturday, college football can be flipped on its head. Yeah. Literally four upsets just change everything.
- [158:59]
E
Oh yeah.
- [159:00]
A
I mean everything everywhere, dude.
- [159:02]
B
Steve talking about like how, you know, the. We always see those photos go viral before the season starts. Like don't text me on insert day.
- [159:11]
A
November 1st.
- [159:12]
B
Yeah. It's crazy that that's what it was. I. I couldn't. Completely forgot about that.
- [159:15]
A
Yeah, it is. College football is a wild place. Wild place. It's awesome.
- [159:20]
B
The best.
- [159:21]
A
It's only up until the right. So many problems happening behind the scenes. Yeah. So many things that have to get figured out. You know, it's like when you win, they put a band aid over top of it. They say that about teams. Like when you win all the bad shits just kind of covered up. College football is winning because of how awesome the product is and how awesome the environments are. And how awesome the fans are and everything like that. And then all the other shit's just kind of getting covered up. Well, what's the other? Chaos? Yeah, just absolute fucking chaos is happening everywhere. And everybody that's involved with sport goes, we gotta fix this. This is not sustainable. The people that are winning because of this and then the people that aren't winning because of it all saying the same thing. We just want to know what the fuck the rules are. Like, is there a rules or a timing thing that could take place anywhere? Did he give an answer? James Franklin going anywhere when you asked him?
- [160:07]
C
Zero.
- [160:07]
D
No, he did not know.
- [160:09]
A
Hey, Steve, where's James? You talked to him? Where's. Where's James Franklin? Have you talked to him?
- [160:14]
C
No, but I'm seeing a lot of rumors. That's why I wanted to find out.
- [160:17]
A
Yeah, the Internet, I saw the Internet had him at Virginia Tech.
- [160:19]
I
Like, what are the. Okay, I was wondering what the options are, like where he may be. People are singling out.
- [160:23]
A
Yeah, the Internet. Somebody made a graphic of him at Virginia Tech. I assume some account, some college football account made that graphic, said, how about this? Then somebody who likes that ran with it and said this could happen. And then all of a sudden you got a rumor that is, wait, James Franklin could actually be kind of awesome at Virginia Tech. If he was able to turn it around, would love to see him come out to. Bam.
- [160:44]
D
He would be awesome.
- [160:45]
A
He would be very good for Virginia Tech. So. Because it's believable and you think it would be good even if it was made by a high school troll account with the graphic, everybody runs with it, you know. And James Franklin's agent, who is Jimmy Sexton.
- [161:00]
E
Oh, okay.
- [161:01]
A
He doesn't mind any of that stuff. Stuff either, you know, so he. He's definitely going to get one of these huge gigs, which is why Virginia Tech, I guess you wouldn't necessarily just place them, but who knows how it all shapes.
- [161:11]
D
I mean, he would be great there. Obviously he did incredible things at Vandy before. That's how he got hired at Penn State and. And was obviously incredible at Penn State besides, you know, winning the big one, which Penn State needs to do. But that's why Virginia Tech I think would be a perfect fit.
- [161:23]
A
I think he's going Florida.
- [161:25]
B
Boom. Really?
- [161:28]
A
That is off at zero intel or research.
- [161:32]
D
Who's going there, who you guys take.
- [161:35]
C
The problem is, is they're striking out everywhere because every time somebody gets rumored somewhere, then they sign an extension at their school. So now it becomes. You have to you have to get creative. You have to tap into former head coaches who are now coordinators at the NFL level. You have to go to a coordinator at the college level. And that's not the big splash that anybody at Penn State wants. Right. So it's like, what does that.
- [161:57]
A
What do the people at Penn State want? They want big name.
- [161:58]
C
They want a splash.
- [161:59]
A
They want big name.
- [162:00]
C
They want a big name, a splash, a proven winner that's going to bring a national championship and a good offense.
- [162:05]
B
Feels like Florida might be one of the schools that does the, hey, this could be the next, you know, Dan Lanning and like, they get one of those coordinators.
- [162:12]
A
So they did that with Napier, kind of, didn't they? Yeah, Napier was at Louisiana Monroe, if I do recall, which.
- [162:18]
B
Yeah, like Louisiana Monroe, but like, if they. Arbuckle, I think.
- [162:22]
A
Oh, you're saying like, big name.
- [162:23]
B
Yeah, big name from a school hasn't been a head coach yet, but big name from a big school has been successful play caller.
- [162:31]
D
I made a list earlier. So, like, Heartline Ohio State could be one of those guys. Mike Shanahan, who has been with SIG forever. I use offensive coordinator. Colin Klein is A and M's offensive coordinator. Both of Oregon's coordinators were up or, like, were rumored for jobs last year.
- [162:44]
A
What are the names?
- [162:46]
D
Oh, Tosh Lapoy is the defense coordinator and Will Klein. Klein is.
- [162:52]
C
It's.
- [162:53]
A
That's his name, right?
- [162:54]
D
Colin Klein is the one at A M. It's Will.
- [162:57]
A
Is it Klein?
- [162:58]
E
Something like that.
- [163:00]
C
Will Klein was the pitcher for the Dodgers.
- [163:02]
D
Will Stein.
- [163:04]
A
Sorry about that. Good guy. These people all very good.
- [163:08]
D
But, like, those would be like, the big school coordinators who are doing really well right now, who have done really well for years and years and years that you might hear in the Scotia.
- [163:16]
A
And then obviously the Los Angeles Chargers defense coordinator is a guy that won national championship in Michigan and is an absolute beast. So, you know, that could be. Hey, that might be big, splashy splash.
- [163:27]
B
Even like a Matt Nagy. Like, I would love to see Matt Naggy being a head ball coach somewhere again in college.
- [163:32]
A
So I.
- [163:33]
B
And I don't know if, you know, Florida or lsu, but I think. I think Penn State would be a great fit for Matt Naggy. Yeah, that's just me, though.
- [163:40]
A
I mean, I could see that. What do we.
- [163:42]
B
I know James.
- [163:43]
A
Dan Mullen.
- [163:44]
C
Oh, I like Dan Mullen. He's from.
- [163:46]
I
He's not leaving.
- [163:46]
C
He's from Pennsylvania, too.
- [163:47]
A
He said he's not leaving.
- [163:49]
D
A lot of people say that he.
- [163:52]
E
Did Say that before they got beat by like 40, but, you know, maybe.
- [163:55]
A
Maybe a fired hit.
- [163:57]
I
NFL coach.
- [163:58]
A
Fired.
- [163:58]
I
NFL head coach. End of the year.
- [163:59]
A
Who are you talking about? Oh, I don't.
- [164:01]
I
I'm thinking after the, after the season, once they all are.
- [164:03]
E
Mike McDaniel.
- [164:05]
I
Yeah.
- [164:05]
B
Love that.
- [164:06]
A
He'd be so cool at Penn State.
- [164:08]
E
Yeah.
- [164:08]
A
The offense is so cool. Oh, my God. He wear those joggers. The grass on that field would go up to the joggers.
- [164:17]
B
Yes.
- [164:18]
A
It would just kind of, just kind of. His feet would just blend in. That would be awesome up there. I thought you were mentioning Jon Gruden.
- [164:27]
I
I mean, I. I throw Gruden's name.
- [164:29]
A
Into every job, but I'm actually doing that actually actively.
- [164:33]
I
Yeah.
- [164:33]
A
And I don't know Jon Gruden like that. I think a lot of people think that. I know I do not know John Gruden like that. Like, we are not boys. Like, I, like I have respect for John Gruden. I've listened to him talk about football. That loves football. I mean, he absolutely loves football. And you go back to when he was on Monday Night Football. He's best commentator.
- [164:51]
E
Yeah.
- [164:51]
A
This guy loves ball. The fired football coaches of America. He has a vault, an office that he would go into and watch film, let alone the passing thing that he. I mean, it's just like you're talking about a guy that is. His entire life has been fucking ball. And he's a show. He can talk, he could sell. And that's a splash.
- [165:10]
F
That's a splash higher.
- [165:12]
A
Certainly probably on a little bit of a revenge tour, you know, obviously acknowledges shouldn't have done what he's done. There's like 70,000 other emails. But yeah, okay, I definitely, I agree. I should not have in private, been doing what I was doing, doing on my emails. I, I, that is on me says. But on that note, like, definitely on a revenge tour. Definitely wanting to prove that he's like, that's a motivated guy. So for me, whenever I say his name, it's not because I know him. It's just because as a fan of watching his ass on the Internet, it's like, this guy knows ball. This guy loves ball. And this guy's entertaining as. Which you're definitely gonna need just naturally an entertaining. So it's not like he's gonna do an entire show and make a mockery out of it, but when he speaks, people enjoy listening to him speak. Like, that is proven. And that's good in the modern era.
- [165:56]
B
I think for West Virginia last year, it was Rich. Rod and Guden were kind of the two that, like, you were pushing. Pushing for.
- [166:01]
A
Yeah, that's. We need to push for some other things. We need a couple billionaires. I. I need to start recruiting billionaires. Okay. I'm going start Sentex.
- [166:10]
C
Here we go.
- [166:11]
F
Boom.
- [166:12]
I
Do it. Get him to really care about West Virginia.
- [166:15]
B
Call to other guy.
- [166:17]
A
He's already picking where game day goes. I don't know if he's got time.
- [166:20]
B
That's a good point.
- [166:22]
A
Cold. Call this guy.
- [166:23]
I
You guys have Brian Kelly in a game day tonight this week.
- [166:26]
A
I don't know if he'll do the same thing as James Franklin. That would be crazy.
- [166:32]
I
Coach at Cincinnati.
- [166:34]
A
It's true.
- [166:35]
D
Good times.
- [166:36]
A
True.
- [166:36]
B
Hold the phone.
- [166:37]
A
He was a great coach. Cincinnati won a Big East. He was. I was there whenever he was there. That's why I end up getting over Dame Drop because how good he was down. Hey. We're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. We are live. Okay. Yes. Microphone is live. Ari, would you pledge $10 million to the West Virginia University football team? Thank you so much for doing that. The boys really appreciate it there. Ladies and gentlemen, Ari Emanuel's gonna do that.
- [167:04]
H
I love West Virginia, but I'm not gonna.
- [167:07]
E
I'm gonna do McAllister College.
- [167:09]
A
What? Okay. That's it.
- [167:14]
D
There was one.
- [167:15]
A
There's. Well, we're out.
- [167:16]
E
Okay.
- [167:16]
A
I'm trying. I'm trying my best.
- [167:18]
B
What about West Virginia? Born and bred coach Nick Saban.
- [167:22]
A
He does need to be giving money back to West Virginia. I don't know.
- [167:25]
B
Yeah, I thought. I thought he loves that place so much. Why does he give you guys any money?
- [167:28]
A
I don't know.
- [167:29]
D
If he feels like he likes his.
- [167:30]
I
Money, definitely FaceTime him.
- [167:32]
A
Yeah, we're not going to FaceTime. Coach Sam. Good call, AJ. That was good call, AJ. That was a good call. Ari was on the golf course right there. I've been pushing him. Come on, bro. Come on, dude. We need it. Kids all went to Michigan.
- [167:45]
E
It's like no time.
- [167:49]
A
No, no. I'm like, Michigan's already got enough, dude.
- [167:52]
D
You know who you need to call? Who's that from West Virginia? Owner of a professional baseball team. You call Mr. Dunning.
- [168:02]
A
I didn't even think about the Pittsburgh Pirates owner investing money in other things other than the Pittsburgh Pirates sold seven springs.
- [168:07]
B
He's got a bunch. He might do it just to the buyers.
- [168:11]
D
Seriously.
- [168:11]
B
Let's go.
- [168:11]
A
Mountaineers and he did sell that tubing hill. He had to get at least 150, 200,000 just for that one hill. O. I'm thinking, do you remember that hill?
- [168:20]
D
Oh, yeah.
- [168:21]
I
They pull you did it have like a rope that pulled you up?
- [168:23]
A
Yeah.
- [168:23]
I
You'd latch in that waste a million then. That's worth more than 150k.
- [168:28]
A
Yeah, I seem. Yeah, I guess 17.
- [168:31]
I
I've never saw the hill.
- [168:32]
D
I guess seven springs. It's not a hill. It was the. It is the premier ski resort in the Mid Atlantic region. It sold for $125 million.
- [168:40]
A
That makes sense. Because of that tubing hill. I mean, I certainly undersold that a little bit. I thought maybe 120.
- [168:46]
E
They did have.
- [168:46]
D
They did have a good tubing hill. I was never on that, but yeah, it looked good.
- [168:49]
A
Now that we're on the subject, what were you talking about earlier? We had a development, a psychological breakthrough on who AQ Shipley is. I forget how we go.
- [169:01]
D
He was just talking on Pittsburgh again.
- [169:03]
A
Oh, yeah. He said the Pittsburgh Steelers offense, everybody loves it. You don't love it. Why don't you love the Pittsburgh Steelers offense?
- [169:09]
C
It's not very good.
- [169:10]
A
Okay, so we wonder what's not good. Exactly. Exactly. Everybody thinks it's good.
- [169:16]
B
What is good about it?
- [169:17]
C
AJ because they put an extra. An extra tight end in there. All of a sudden they're doing something innovative. As if. People haven't been doing that for years.
- [169:24]
I
They're scoring more than they have in the last two or three years.
- [169:26]
F
They're better.
- [169:27]
G
I know the goal is to be innovative. I thought it was a score points.
- [169:29]
A
That's Nick Mordo. He's Pittsburgh Steelers fan, asking a lot.
- [169:32]
C
The goal is to win, actually. That's the goal. Oh, we talked about the offense.
- [169:35]
A
We didn't talk about the process.
- [169:36]
C
Yeah, it's about the process. No, I just think that up front. Offensively, they have to go this way just to be able to create movement. They couldn't do anything early in the season, so now they go this. And now you're limited to what you can do because all you can do is two and three man routes. Because this is the way they have to get protection. This is the way they have to block people.
- [169:53]
A
People.
- [169:53]
C
And they're still not gashing people in the run game.
- [169:56]
A
So you're not a believer in the Pittsburgh Steelers offense like everybody else. Everybody else is burying the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, saying they're a problem. You're saying that Pittsburgh Steelers offense too, going to be a problem. If they run in to anybody, maybe with a good defense. And you were saying that and we all just thought to ourselves, this guy doesn't even like Joe Nardo. It might be all, it might be all of Pittsburgh. Yeah, this guy just doesn't like Pittsburgh. But he's from there, Tone. And then you said maybe one of the most enlightening things I've ever heard.
- [170:20]
D
Yeah, he is from there. And he hates everything from Pittsburgh. Basically everything. So ipso facto he looks in the mirror and hates himself and realizes that Pittsburgh built him. Hates himself, then hates the place that. That built him. That made him himself.
- [170:35]
A
Yes, of course. So that was the, the depth of it.
- [170:38]
I
I think you nailed it, tied it together.
- [170:40]
A
I, I honestly.
- [170:44]
H
Hate.
- [170:45]
C
I love Kennywood Give you hate. We talked about this.
- [170:47]
A
Yeah, but then immediately if I go to Kenny, I'm going fall off the roller coaster cuz they got a cinder block under the wrist.
- [170:53]
D
But at night before you go to bed, you know, you're brushing your teeth, you look in the mirror, you're. God, I. I hate myself so much.
- [170:59]
G
I'm.
- [170:59]
C
I'm the happiest I've ever been.
- [171:01]
A
You just lost all your decorations.
- [171:03]
J
Wow.
- [171:04]
E
Yeah.
- [171:04]
C
Three days ago I was the happiest I've ever been.
- [171:07]
B
Also probably kind of still help. I. I get a free chance to beat the out of 10 kids.
- [171:12]
A
This is awesome.
- [171:13]
B
I love this.
- [171:14]
A
That is crazy to think if you just get in one bite, one in that octagon in your front yard with lights on. 3:00am they come back, they think nothing's happening. Pitch black. All of a sudden you see the first one they get in the, in the yard, turn the lights on. Welcome to Thunderdome, boys.
- [171:29]
I
No, turn all the lights off. Turn every light on this whole street off. And all of a sudden they're just getting annihilated in the dark. AQ's just got his is. You know, he definitely has the night vision goggles. NVGs he gets from his SEAL buddies.
- [171:39]
A
Yes, it certainly has night vision goggles. Probably a couple dogs with the night vision vision gogs as well. And then he probably has something in pillow cases that he's potentially spinning. You can either go under the guise of pitch black or maybe light them up whenever they show up. I feel like the options are literally limit. You're in a good spot here.
- [172:00]
C
I'm in a great spot.
- [172:01]
A
$10,000 to any tip that leads to the arrest. No, not the arrest, sorry. The ass beating of those who so stole. Skelly. Mr. Skelly, who is beloved by the Shipley family.
- [172:12]
C
I need Skelly back. So any, Any tip, anything out there, I'll take it. But guess what? I'mma find it anyways.
- [172:20]
E
Don't need any tips like that.
- [172:22]
A
Don't need any tips. We need some tips on what we need to talk about. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for AQ Ship le big takeaways from week eight of the NFL. What are some talking points? Oh, I like this.
- [172:34]
C
Miles the man menace. Let's take a look. Miles Garrett, five sacks against the Patriots. Sorry, con man, but take a look this move that he does. Let's watch this chip from the Titan. Back outside, dip around easy sack. Keep it moving. Let's go to the next one. Now we're going to get a little stunt inside. We can't blame this one on Will Campbell completely. We're going to get up the field, back underneath little et stunt, push him back, sack.
- [172:57]
E
Easy. Filthy.
- [172:58]
C
Easy, easy. Let's go one more here. Oh, let's try and change them again. Cool. They bear hug him.
- [173:02]
A
Nope.
- [173:03]
C
Dip and rip. See? And now you see me, now you don't. Around the edge. Another sec. That's just three. We got two more, guys. Here's another one on the left side. Look at this redirect. Jesus recognizes run. Gets down the line and almost gets the hip drop. He's lucky he got his foot out.
- [173:15]
A
There all the way.
- [173:16]
C
And then this last one again. Sees the chip inside, presses the tackle. Tackle. Basically just stops. Has can't handle it. And it is another sack.
- [173:25]
A
He's a good player, AJ Pretty good.
- [173:28]
I
Pretty explosive, I would say.
- [173:30]
A
Yeah, I think so. And also his hands so clean and his feet so quick.
- [173:33]
I
Shoulder, he turns. It takes a whole blocking surface away. Boom. Turns his shoulders and you got. Oh, the dude's punching on his back.
- [173:38]
A
Remember we saw him dunking and playing basketball and we made such a big deal out of it. That's cuz just how athletic he is. And his body's just so fluid for how large and powerful he is.
- [173:46]
B
Yeah, like that. That's what it feels like. You could, you know, he could bring to the table. Is just teaching offensive linemen as well, like across the board. It's not just what he does on defense. Defense, like it feels as though he's on, you know, another level when it comes to Will Campbell. Aq that you just chalked this one up as welcome to the NFL or.
- [174:02]
C
I think that's what I texted you. I think this is his welcome to the NFL moment. He's had some really Good rushers already. He's had Miles. Miles Garrett. He's had Max Crosby. He's had really good players to really start off the first eight weeks of his NFL career. And when you go and you look at this, whenever you texted me, I was going to go back and look at this and think that he got his ass kicked. He. He really didn't. There's a couple sacks that he gives up, but again, you're going to give that up whenever you're playing against Miles Garrett. But at the end of the day, Will Campbell, sometimes guys are different.
- [174:29]
A
Yeah. Miles Garrett, certainly different. And to be clear, the Cleveland Browns said there's no chance we're trading them.
- [174:37]
E
Yep.
- [174:38]
B
Okay.
- [174:38]
A
And then Shregs and everybody else goes, we'll see. Browns say, no chance we're trading them. Everybody else that covers the says, we'll see. What does that mean? Let's just try and draw some suspense from the situation. Or is what Haslam and the boys saying up there from the Cleveland Browns accurate? You know, because Schefter said, from those wondering if the Browns would consider trading Miles Garrett by Tuesday deadline, the answer is, in the words of one source, no chance. She doesn't have really high up sources. Right.
- [175:07]
I
People have a better chance of winning the lottery. I mean, who is that source?
- [175:10]
E
They took it too far. That's why I think it might happen.
- [175:12]
A
Oversold.
- [175:13]
E
Exactly.
- [175:13]
H
Yeah.
- [175:13]
A
Yeah.
- [175:14]
E
If they would have just said, yep, no chance, and then it's like, okay, probably not.
- [175:17]
A
But what if that's the owner?
- [175:20]
B
Maybe. And if. If it is the owner, maybe he doesn't really feel like moving. Miles Garrett to New England's trading him because Brable's kind of a Cleveland Brown.
- [175:31]
A
What's that?
- [175:32]
B
Mike Brable was in the building last year. I'm sure he's got a great relationship with the front office of the. Of the Cleveland bronze.
- [175:37]
A
So you're saying because of his great relationship from the one year he was a consultant. Yes. To the Cleveland Browns.
- [175:44]
B
Hey, look, we're still keeping him home. His home just resides in New England now.
- [175:50]
A
He'll forever be a Cleveland Brown.
- [175:51]
B
Exactly. When he go. And guess what? Guess where he's going to end up after he wins the championship in the New England Patriots.
- [175:56]
A
New England forever.
- [175:57]
B
And then New England forever.
- [175:59]
A
And then New England forever.
- [176:01]
B
Back in Ohio.
- [176:02]
A
No. Okay, I'm sorry.
- [176:04]
B
Come on.
- [176:04]
A
I thought you were talking about every picture of him going, oh, yeah, after this moment, yeah, will be him in another jersey, just like we had to see with Peyton whenever he went to Denver. I mean, Jesus Christ, he went over to Denver. He, he could not find a photo of him in the Indianapolis Colts uniform anywhere after he retired. It was like, yeah, Peyton Manning retires, hangs it up. What a player. It's like him in a different Denver Broncos uniform each single time. And then it's like him dapping up Papa John and having a full conversation. Denver Bronco. It's like he's remembering, remembered completely for that. Now obviously that has come back full circle here as we continue into his retirement.
- [176:37]
D
Miles Garrett, who would you rather be, Andrew Whitworth or Joe Thomas? You tell me.
- [176:42]
A
Oh, that's the cell.
- [176:44]
B
That's the cell. Yes. Tony, yes.
- [176:48]
A
Who are you selling that to? There's a better chance to win a lottery. Says the person that's making the decision. I think Schefter has high.
- [176:53]
C
Write another letter.
- [176:55]
A
Well, Miles, write another letter.
- [176:56]
E
Well, everyone's talking about the dead cap too. Like G. Jimmy Haslam doesn't care about that. He can just cook up some hair brained scheme to screw over a bunch of truck drivers at Pilot. You know, you could do that again.
- [177:07]
A
That was him. That was. He did not know that was going on is what they said. But that certainly happened at that gas station is Deshaun. And I would like to let everybody know I had a lot of points too from being on the road and it was tough to find that out. That was a heartbreaker. Tim McAfee not happy.
- [177:20]
E
I bet.
- [177:21]
A
Tim McAfee, former truck driver, not thrilled about what went was going on in those places. But on that note, Hasm has paid a lot of money before. Why not drop another six?
- [177:31]
D
And DeShawn's deal's done next season, so his dead cap's almost done.
- [177:36]
A
So he said we can just pick up another one.
- [177:37]
E
Yeah, it's actually kind of fun.
- [177:40]
I
We can get.
- [177:40]
B
We'll give him cash.
- [177:41]
I
We'll give like worker from behind.
- [177:43]
A
All right, let's go to the next talking point from AQ Shipley. Week eight. Whoa. Loving the blue.
- [177:49]
C
Loving in the blitz. Jordan Love was 11 of 15 for 183 yards and three touchdowns versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Blitz right here. You get double a gap. You know they're bringing six. There it is. Josh Jacobs gets run over, gets hit while he's throwing, just throws it up and lets his guy go make a play. Tucker Kraft, that's a good play.
- [178:07]
A
We're shook. They said it says a good play.
- [178:09]
E
Ended up being a good blitz.
- [178:10]
C
Heck yeah, it's a good play. It's a 50 yard gain.
- [178:12]
A
Oh, you're saying cuz it was a blitz. He knew that that was single cut. You can throw a little dangerous out there.
- [178:16]
J
Bingo.
- [178:17]
A
There's not as many people. Tucker Craft will make a play for me.
- [178:19]
C
He's literally getting hit and just throw it up. You know, it's man coverage on the back end. Just throw it up, make a play. That's what Jordan Love's been doing.
- [178:24]
A
Jordan Love's been doing a lot of that throughout his entire career. Whenever he's on the field this year, a lot less turnovers are saying, yeah.
- [178:29]
E
He'S only thrown two picks and that is kind of the feast or famine and where the comparisons to farve come in because he is so much fun to watch play because you know that there's going to be a couple of these. A game where he loves pushing the ball downfield. And then there are those Sundays where, you know, he throws a couple picks, he's not completing these passes and it's like, I don't know, is this sustainable? Can you win a Super bowl like this? If he plays the way he did on Sunday, it's hard not to consider the Packers a Super bowl front runner.
- [178:55]
A
Hey, Q. Feels like you're getting excitement out of showcasing a Pittsburgh Steelers lose here, which goes back to our previous conversation. Tell us more about Love and the blitz.
- [179:03]
C
Yeah, again you get six man blitz. You know you got man coverage or some type of man coverage on the back end. Let's roll. Right, right. Throw off your back foot, fade away. Throw it over top of one, in between the other. Like an absolute dangerous.
- [179:16]
A
Yeah, he's a hell of a football player. I appreciate the fact that Jordan Love is seemingly playing his best ball right now, getting better and better and better as the season goes on, as his career goes on.
- [179:25]
E
Yeah, absolutely. So it's kind of, it's past the point of like, hey, did they make the right move on. On moving on from Rogers and getting this guy. I think we can put that to bed. But now it's ultimately, can this of kind this guy win a Super Bowl? And you know, again, if he plays like he did on Sunday and we see more of that and they get kind of the, the running game involved a little bit more. I, I think there is a chance that he can win a Super Bowl.
- [179:47]
A
Maybe this year it might be tough because of what your third talking point is. Go on aq, jt the mvp. That's a sick graphic. Dirty did a great job with all these. Now let's talk about why he is the mvp. In your eyes, I could have showed.
- [180:01]
C
The offensive line opening holes, which I will on the third play. But let's take a look at these first two plays. You get a trap play, it is blown up right there. He recognizes that the blitz comes from the right, puts the brakes on and beats three people all by himself to get into the end zone.
- [180:14]
A
Okay? So he knew that it was going to be wide open there because dudes are coming from that side, so if they come from there, they ain't in there anymore.
- [180:20]
E
Correct.
- [180:20]
C
And so that play was originally supposed to hit in the left a gap, literally left a gap. But you get the blitz goes, gets blocked all the way down. He puts the brakes on, hits it back vertical, and then makes a move on three guys.
- [180:31]
A
This guy's special, huh? His vision is insane, his quickness is insane. His durability is insane. And at the second level, he can pull away from everybody.
- [180:38]
C
That's right. And then on this play right here, he's running his own play left. It's dead right. Dead. He runs into the back of his lineman. Nope, spin out of it. Guess what? This is just an easy 12 yard gain. That's a 12 yard gain right there.
- [180:48]
A
Always falling forward. It's special to watch. And then you said you're going to talk about the O line and the third one. What's that?
- [180:53]
C
And then here it is, this thing. Watch this. The center just open this hole. I. I mean, I could literally roll a wheelchair through there for a 20 yard gain, right?
- [181:01]
A
Well, wheelchair might be fast, depending upon who's pushing it. But on that note, that's a big gaping hole. But I appreciate the fact that you showcase that it's not always like that. Now, granted, this offensive line has been doing a great job. They've been moving bodies, but people see that big gaping hole and they're like, well, John, anybody can do this. It's like, no. What Jonathan Taylor's been doing is outrageous. All of it. You put them together, you got Saquon and Philadelphia Eagles offensive line, and maybe you got big dreams, you got big hopes. Speaking of big dreams and big hopes, who are the top five performing offensive lines coming out of week eight? In week eight, only in the trenches. Aq, who's number five?
- [181:39]
C
Number five? The Los Angeles Chargers.
- [181:43]
A
Hey, that's hardball football, baby. That's hardball football. What did you see from him, AQ? She puts him at five and the entire league.
- [181:50]
C
First of all, Kamani Videll, 23 carries, 117 yards for a single touchdown. But let's Watch him right here. They get to power so many different ways. But look, Trey Harris, their rookie wide receiver, ends up being the fullback on this play. They brought him in motion. You get the huge hole, go around the edge. Zion Johnson, their former first round pick, number 77. The left guard is the puller. That's their way of getting to puller by being creative.
- [182:12]
A
I like that they got a wide receiver acting like fullback. Everybody's bought in, huh, to the mentality of the team.
- [182:18]
C
Absolutely. And they used Trey Harris a lot. They did this a lot. Basically. The last three weeks, they try and get either the fullback or they like to use him. He's a bigger wide receiver and they bring him around as a second puller a lot.
- [182:29]
A
Those uniforms are so filthy, A.J.
- [182:32]
I
They look awesome.
- [182:33]
B
They should.
- [182:33]
I
They should go back to these full time.
- [182:35]
A
Why'd they have the yellow dooo ones on against the Colts? It hurt my eyes. I was watching my Colts team and. And it hurt my eyes.
- [182:41]
I
Just to remind us how sweet these are. I think that's why you got to show us some turds so then we can go back like, oh, these are that much better.
- [182:46]
A
That's a smart idea, actually. That's a setup. That's chess.
- [182:49]
D
Yeah, it is.
- [182:50]
A
Wow. They would do that over there. It's hardball we've seen and Chargers, too.
- [182:54]
B
Yeah.
- [182:54]
A
I mean, they are chess players. Who's the number four performing offensive line of week eight? Wow.
- [182:58]
C
The Denver Broncos. I think we've all seen this clip. This clip has gone viral for our guy. Quinn Miners on the backside. Let's watch him first as he climbs.
- [183:08]
A
Boom.
- [183:09]
C
Throw his ass on the ground. Keep it climb, take out. Take out the safety and then turn around. Get another block. Three guys on one play for Quinn minor.
- [183:17]
A
Two knockdowns, one great block. Quinn Miners, who used to have dreads. I don't know if he still does. Absolute beast and a dog since he got into the NFL. He was one of the rare offensive linemen who was doing media before the draft and it helped his stock. Everybody's like, this dude's awesome. Then he gets in there and does well, Sean Payton wanted to flip this offensive line, you're saying? Yes, they have.
- [183:37]
C
Yes, they have. And they're missing their left guard who's out for injury. Palli, who used to be their sixth offensive lineman that they would bring in, is now starting at left guard. Hence the fact they just signed Mercedes Lewis to get back into big personnel stuff. Garrett Bulls out in front, got that thing started. They have figured it out over There.
- [183:54]
A
I like Mercedes Lewis coming back, going to the practice squad. This has been the new move since post Covid. So you used to not be able to put vets on the practice squad. Then Covid comes around. Vets are allowed on the practice squad. Everybody says, hey, this is a good idea. Now teams use the practice squad and vets use the practice squad to see if you're in shape. Like, hey, let's see if you're in shape for like a week or so. We got you. We're interested. You're not necessarily going right up to the roster. Let's see how it is. I assume Mercedes is going to be in great shape and he can still move bodies.
- [184:19]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [184:20]
A
Denver Broncos only getting better. Who's the number three performing offensive line in week eight? Wow. Buffalo Bills.
- [184:27]
C
And let's take a look at this play. I love this play. Again, we talk about big offensive linemen, but Buffalo went and got Jackson Hawes. He's going to come in motion. That is their big tight end. He gets the kick out. Edwards at the point of attack. Let's look at him. If we can go back one more time. Look at the left guard. Watch him just long arm right here and just open this hole right there. As soon as the ball is by him, he just stops. He knows it's a touchdown. Look at the sideline.
- [184:49]
J
Fuck.
- [184:49]
C
It plays over. Everybody's cheering. Look at this team getting back on track. Track this week.
- [184:53]
A
Congrats to James Cook. He won forever 200, right? Yeah. Absolutely crazy. And Joe Brady and Josh Allen and the Buffalo Beals seemingly have a run game that can match through the sky. Offensive line good. Dion Dawkins got a fight after the game. I like that.
- [185:07]
E
Incredible.
- [185:07]
A
I like that a little bit.
- [185:08]
C
I think he got into it. A Sean Robinson who's a damn good football player. One of the strongest guys I've ever played against. They got into it. Dion Dawkins is incredible. Edwards is incredible. Spencer Brown's playing at a high rate. Reggie Gilliam, they're fullback.
- [185:20]
B
Awesome.
- [185:20]
A
Okay, fullback. You're counting as the offensive lines. I respect that you've had for the last couple weeks as you think they are honorary offensive linemen and teams that have them and weaponize them are seemingly great for the Carolina Panthers. News. Bryce Young, full participant in practice. Okay, so that broke today. While we're in there, Bills obviously played Carolina last week. Bryce Young seemingly back. Who's the number two performing offensive line of Week 8 of the NFL season?
- [185:41]
C
The Philadelphia Eagles finally go get back in the top five and they got back to doing what they like to do, and that's running the football. Ironically, it was without their center. Jurgens. Brett Toth, who's played every position on the offensive line, has been with the Eagles. Been out of the Eagles, back to the Eagles. Stoutland loves him, puts him at center. Let's watch the combo between him and Landon Dickerson.
- [186:01]
E
Get a hat on.
- [186:02]
A
A hat.
- [186:02]
C
Bounce this thing out the backside.
- [186:04]
E
Jesus.
- [186:05]
C
And Saquon is back.
- [186:07]
A
Yeah, I'd say Saquan's back. And you're saying Eagles off the offensive line is back. It sounds.
- [186:11]
B
Is the under center as big of a deal as Dan Rossi's been making.
- [186:15]
A
It out to me? Yeah. Why is it such a big deal?
- [186:17]
C
It's huge. Because there's only so many runs you can run whenever you're offset back. So when you go shotgun and your back's offset here, nine times out of 10, you're going to be running the.
- [186:25]
G
Ball to the left.
- [186:26]
C
What's your switch up? We have a counter coming back this way or we have a toss. So there's only three plays that you can really run out of it. When you go under center, you have everything. You have the play action. You have the run to the left, you have the run to the right. You got the power game. You got the inside zone left, the inside zone right. The outside zone. The outside. Like you have your entire playbook when you go under center.
- [186:43]
A
Got it. So you're kind of giving away what you're doing whenever you got a shotgun with the sidecar there for the running back. I. I didn't even think about it that way. And I hear Dano talk about it. I thought it was something about leverage or timing and things like that, which obviously certainly might be a part of it. But the fact that you can do everything versus you can only do three things feels like enough for me to maybe go understand. Why did they stop doing it? Because guys weren't comfortable under there.
- [187:04]
E
Yeah.
- [187:04]
C
I think people started doing it, and that's how the RPO game's the best. That's, I think, the biggest thing. So when you look at the college game, it's the rpo, because now you leave this backside defensive end unblocked as you're faking the zone across this way while he's staring. And now it's real quick. Just hit the RPO behind.
- [187:18]
A
Yeah. And you already have space to. You're building in space for yourself to be away from the end if you need to get around them. So shotgun for RPO but if you want to go old school football, you got go under center and have all the options open.
- [187:30]
E
That's right.
- [187:30]
C
That's right.
- [187:31]
A
Especially because that thing might be supposed to go left, but these running backs these days got these senses.
- [187:39]
C
Well, this play right here from the Eagles was supposed to hit off the right side. And whenever you run a duo play off the right side, the backside cut, in my opinion is the juiciest cut in football because everybody flows over the.
- [187:49]
E
Top football juicy cut a be.
- [187:53]
A
Ah, that was a great line. Did you hear that, A.J. in my opinion, the juiciest cut in football is whenever we got a duo right is what you said.
- [188:01]
C
That's right.
- [188:02]
A
Duo right with the cutback. Potentially. That's the juiciest cut in football, A.J. did you know that?
- [188:08]
I
I did not know that. Aq, is that something you came up with or you're one of your old vet coaches, you know, give you that?
- [188:13]
C
I've always heard them say the backside a cut is always there, but I just came up with that.
- [188:17]
A
The juiciest cut. That's awesome.
- [188:19]
I
Beautiful.
- [188:20]
A
That's a great line time there. Hey, listen, these guys are seeing these juicy cuts. Yeah, these guys are seeing them too. And who is the number one offensive line of week eight of the NFL season?
- [188:32]
C
Would you like to do the honors?
- [188:33]
A
Yeah. See any Alpha schools? Wow, There it is. It's about time. We're at the top of the mountain. We've been climbing this mountain for a long time. In this particular segment, we've been close. You know, we've been third, second. Hey, listen, there's a couple plays where a guy didn't hit a full pancake, so I had to keep them at third. They're definitely the best offensive line, but can't put them at one this week. We're number one this week. That's a big deal. What did you see from the boys in the dominating win over the Titans that made you say, yeah, that's the number one offensive line of week eight?
- [188:58]
C
Yeah, we saw the clips earlier, obviously, but check it out. You've been talking about it for a long time. We hear everybody talking about it. How do we create leverage? Let's watch. Send the receiver in motion pushes the backers back. Now we got our leverage. You get point of the tack. Mo, Ali, Cox quit. Nelson out in space. Bortolini, wrap around, get the backer. And then should be a 20 yard game. But guess what? This guy always takes it the distance.
- [189:20]
A
Yeah, I. I love Jonathan Taylor.
- [189:23]
C
Me too.
- [189:23]
A
And the sideline is Outrageous. I can't. I've said the story four times. We are right here. We are down here watching straight, literally straight down the line. I have a better view than any ref, any camera. I literally see that the pureness of the white line with his foot next to it was just like a no doubter. He did not step out of bounds. And then you think to yourself, well, how the fuck's he doing? You look up at the jumbotron real quick, and it's like, oh, he's on top of that line. And then you look back at him, and he's looking down. He's running 24 miles an hour. He's looking down at it and not getting off. He's so strong. He's so fast, so balanced, so explosive. This dude's special. And I'll tell you what, I think next year's last year of his contract, we don't need any of that happening, right? And Danny Dimes, we're gonna have to pay him. We're gonna have to pay jt.
- [190:16]
B
Get it done now.
- [190:16]
A
But we got got, like, I think we have the capabilities to be able to do it. He's special, man. It's the best he's played in the NFL.
- [190:23]
C
He is special. And it helps that the offensive lines playing their asses off. If you look at this clip again, you got Quentin Nelson on a corner. How do you want to draw it up? You want Quentin Nelson on a corner so you can just run him to the sideline. The leverage, I mean, it's. He's running through holes there. But the. The key to what he always does is if you get him to the second level, it's a 80% chance he's taking it the distance.
- [190:42]
A
Yeah. If they're even. He's leaving and then he's doing his dance. He's getting after it. Aj It's a pretty good little dance, you know, because you got a little Ric Flair, you know, Jeff J, he got easy to do, you know, potentially for people. And also it looks so smooth as he's running in there. And then you. You can notice how fast. It also showcases how fast he's going because he's hitting the. He's downshifting. There's the top five ending up as close.
- [191:12]
C
Number one, baby.
- [191:14]
A
Look really cool. And I don't know if everybody saw it earlier. It's not just the. The top five performing offensive lines in the trenches. It's not just he talking points or takeaways. He also had his AQ's taken away today, so we had a lot of graphics, you know, with AQ Shipley today. And I'll tell you what. Well deserved scary.
- [191:32]
C
That is Scary Wednesday.
- [191:35]
A
That's.
- [191:36]
C
What's his name. Great show guy from Wednesday in the Adams family.
- [191:39]
E
Gomez Uncle Fester.
- [191:41]
C
Yeah, there it is.
- [191:42]
B
It's kind of what that looks like.
- [191:43]
A
I watched that, and I watch all of it, and I'm like, I think it's really good. That's what I. I think whenever I watch that stuff, I watch it all. I'm like, can't get enough locked in. They dropped that new too. And I'm like, yeah. And the Wednesday one is the off one, right? Yeah, yeah. I'm like, it's good, dude. And then also Halloween week here. Yeah. Okay. We got to watch all the awesome Halloween. What's the. There's a bunch of witches. There's three of them.

A
What's that? Okay. Hotel Transylvania. Hotel Transylvania. Great. Adam Schefter. Adam. He might be the greatest Dracula of all time. It is Hotel Transylvania. Will lock up MacKenzie if she starts watching and she gets locked in. It's incredible. Also, good storyline about being accepted to be different.
- [192:36]
E
Sure.
- [192:37]
A
Okay. So I'm a big fan of Transylvania Scream. Saw. We watching saw. Just go ahead and lock in there. Just go ahead and say it. Let's go ahead and puke.

A
Oh, what was the. You said it. What was the. What's the one with the clown?
- [192:51]
I
The clown?
- [192:51]
B
Yeah, it. And it's Bill Skarsgard's in the newest one. He's like one of the better. Pennywise is the name of the clown ever.
- [192:59]
A
Hi. Listen, I know that Skarsgard family. They are royalty out there.
- [193:04]
E

A
Live in Sweden. Yeah. Yeah.
- [193:07]
E
He.
- [193:07]
B
He's like. I mean, you. You. You can speak better on. But he's like horror royalty, right? Like, he's been good in, like, every horror movie.
- [193:13]
E
Yeah. I think he was in Nosferatu too. Is like, with the most famous vampire movie of all time that got remade. He was in that. He's Pennywise.
- [193:21]
C
Yeah.
- [193:21]
A
I mean, he's a dog.
- [193:22]
E
The Skarsgard family.
- [193:23]
A
Yeah.
- [193:24]
E
Arguably the first family of acting.
- [193:26]
A
So does everybody know that he was in that photo, right, that was posted publicly?
- [193:29]
E
I think so. And it would be out there that he. He's in that movie.
- [193:32]
A
I got to watch his scars. Guard work. What a animal. This Guy is awesome. All the dudes were awesome. And I knew everything about all these guys. Obviously, I have a deep movie information knowledge guy on the plane.
- [193:46]
B
Yeah, you dug in.
- [193:47]
A
Everybody knows that. I know all that stuff. I asked some questions first couple days, I assume they were pretty disrespectful. Now, hindsight, looking back on it and the way they talk to me and the way they treat me was so incredibly, incredibly kind. These dudes were awesome. But the Skarsgard one was the biggest one where it was like, you know, asking about Skarsgard, like about being in said movie and how awesome it was and him just being like, yeah, yeah, man. It's like really cool. This is work my whole life. Be this like super humble or whatever. And I had no idea just drops like how many movies he's been in. Yeah, Real quick. And then I get a text from fucking Connor. It's like, yo, the fucking guy. Huge. This guy's. I'm like, oh, my God. So the next day I saw. I'm like, brother, I want to let you know, big pop back in Indiana for me being around you. Want to let you know I appreciate you being kind to me or whatever. And he was, help me out. You're talking about, like, help all these guys. Like, help me out with different things. Like, hey, we're doing this. What should I be thinking? Boom. Think about this. And you're doing like, thank you so much. Thank you. You've done 30 some movies. Obviously you're a beast. Oh, your dad's Jack Nichols. Okay. Yeah.
- [194:48]
E
Right.

A
Very nice to talk to you. Oh, you're winning a Tony Award because you're the greatest guy in bro. Okay. Very nice to meet you. Oh, you're the handsomest dude of all time. Got it. Okay. I can't do that. I know that that's not going to be possible, but those dudes were great. Scar. This is when I watched that. His movie.
- [195:03]
B
Yeah. I mean, if. If there's ever a time it. It definitely don't watch McKenzie, but it is the one for Halloween.
- [195:10]
A
And that's the one he's in.
- [195:11]
B
Yeah, that. That's the one he's in.
- [195:13]
A
There's two movies I would like to support the homie. I will watch. I don't to want watch horror films, though.
- [195:17]
B
Yeah, you should watch this. You should just skip to the second one then, because he's in more of that versus the first one.
- [195:22]
A
What is the one? The project. What was that one? Back in the day they filmed Project.
- [195:28]
E
X. Oh, Blair Witch Project.
- [195:30]
A
Which project? They Got me for about 20 minutes watching that.
- [195:33]
E
Oh, yeah.
- [195:34]
A
I said, absolutely not. Got the. Out of that. That was like our era.
- [195:37]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [195:37]
A
I think that was like our era.
- [195:38]
I
It was.
- [195:39]
A
Yeah. Everybody was watching. It was so cool to go watch it. And I'm like, I don't. I don't like these movies. No, you got. Why everybody's watching. You got me for 20 minutes. I'm like, get me the. Out of here. You guys want to do this? What? You guys want to. You want to walk into a house, go, no, I don't want to do that. And then people. Who's that?
- [195:54]
D
Nick's favorite genre.
- [195:56]
A
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
- [195:57]
G
Sometimes you just got to feel something, you know?
- [196:00]
A
Yeah. But you're ruining your life, you know, you're laying your head down at night like Paranormal Activity.
- [196:06]
G
That was another one.
- [196:07]
D
That's the worst one.
- [196:08]
G
Yep.
- [196:08]
A
That one. Me, too. I think I was forced to watch that one as well. I didn't love that player. Yeah, right. I was trying to be a team player. Come on. Everybody's doing it. Do it. I'm not doing it. Is there anything funny? Hubie? Halloween.
- [196:21]
E
Yeah.
- [196:22]
A
Hell, yeah.
- [196:23]
E
Delivered.
- [196:24]
A
But Saw. I like Saw series a lot.
- [196:26]
E
Yeah, Saw.
- [196:27]
B
Saw 1 is based off college kids psychology project.
- [196:31]
A
I'm pretty sure that's what I heard right. And then they just said, you know what? That was cool. Trying to figure out ways to brutally torture people.
- [196:37]
E
Yeah. Let's make a hundred of them.
- [196:39]
A
Yeah, you watch those, and you do get kind of freaked out about the Marines out there. That's like when I watch Inside Man. Good one, Denzel. Great movie. Great movie. And then you think to yourself, okay, if I ever. If this brain. I don't want it to. I'm not going to tell it to. Okay. I'm not going to tell it to. But if it happens upon a bank and I come up with a genius idea to rob this place, let's not enact on it. No, but let's write a movie about it.
- [197:05]
G
For sure.
- [197:05]
A
That is where I learned from Inside Man. Inside Man. Somebody was like, I could rob this place if I wanted to. All you gotta do is do a false wall. Go live back there. They'll never know, get through this thing. Then we'll be able to do it. It's like, genius. As I was watching, I'm like, this guy's a genius. And then you immediately think, oh, the person that wrote this movie. It's like, all right, I either rob a bank or I make money off the idea. So let's make sure we keep that thing. Let's always be thinking, yes, and let's not rob banks, but let's certainly maybe make movies about stealing decorations. Don't have to actually steal the decorations. Yes. You can just make a movie about stealing decoration.
- [197:39]
C
Be a heck of a movie.
- [197:40]
A
Inside Man's so good.
- [197:41]
B
Yeah. Speaking of thievery in jails, I believe, unless I got sent out, they caught the two guys who stole the Napoleon gems from the Louvre. And I guess they were worth a hundred million. Million allegedly. Might have gotten got.
- [197:55]
A
I don't know.
- [197:55]
B
But that's what I read online.
- [197:56]
A
That was crazy that that place got robbed. And then all the information that was kind of coming out about what the state of the current Louvre was and what was real, what wasn't real was hard because everything is straight out of a movie there.
- [198:06]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [198:07]
A
It's literally straight out of the movie. George Clooney's given his nod of approval to what they did. It's like, all right, we don't need that hitting the Internet right now. Santel. Okay.
- [198:15]
B
Yeah, exactly.
- [198:15]
A
All right, Barry. We don't need that Internet right now. We're all trying to learn information right now as we go. That was crazy that that took place. That was wild. And then we got people stealing decorations. I mean, it's crazy. Is it 2004.
- [198:26]
E
Goddamn Mad World we're living in.
- [198:28]
D
Yeah.
- [198:30]
B
Purge.
- [198:31]
C
They gave the. The one guy on the left, you know, the one that didn't get the skeleton. They gave him one job to do. The other guys, they.
- [198:39]
A
They did their job. That guy, failure.
- [198:41]
C
I can't wait to see that guy. Can't wait.
- [198:44]
E
He's probably smack. Jungle juice, dude.
- [198:46]
G
See, I.
- [198:47]
D
He cut off a little more than he can chew.
- [198:48]
B
He.
- [198:49]
D
There's six guys on one skeleton. He thought he was going to carry that one by himself.
- [198:53]
A
So, Mr. Skelly, right here, that's getting taken out of your front yard by a group of codes. Okay. By a group of you. That is right there. A tough moment. This one over here don't really get talked about much. He gets his face bashed off of something pretty hard whenever. Old buddy. Do you have sound on this? Oh, yeah, we have sound.
- [199:10]
I
Oh, yes, There it is.
- [199:13]
A
There it is. That they're. Down goes Skelly.
- [199:16]
C
I woke up, my neighbor sent me a message the next morning, and he was like, hey, I put your skeleton back up. It was just laying. The head was in the middle of the street. I'm like, yeah, I know.
- [199:26]
A
Does it still work?
- [199:26]
C
No, still works, but the.
- [199:28]
A
That's the greatness here, Skelly that we're talking about.
- [199:30]
E
Exactly.
- [199:31]
A
That's why the kids fell in love with other skellies so much.
- [199:34]
B
Right.
- [199:34]
A
This is a tough group.
- [199:35]
C
The spine is disconnected though.
- [199:37]
A
That's the most important, that part.
- [199:39]
C
It's the most important part.
- [199:40]
A
Well, on a skeleton, yeah. The spine is kind of the whole.
- [199:44]
E
The holes the whole thing up.
- [199:45]
C
I had to pull the head back or I mean the. The spine back to put the head on the head can't twist in cuz those pieces broke. But it is sitting there.
- [199:52]
A
Do you remember that skeleton costume that was just a onesie you put on?
- [199:56]
B
Oh yeah.
- [199:56]
A
I pissed my pants in there one time. Couldn't get out of it. That'll happen.
- [200:01]
B
Could you get out?
- [200:02]
E
Yeah, no choice.
- [200:03]
A
How old, how old were you? How old? I was young. It was either like 29. No, it was junior high school. I just thought of it. Ran somewhere to go to the bathroom. Couldn't get out of it. I was trapped in there. I couldn't get out of it. I just. I. Well, gotta do it, I guess. Try to find some scissors, try to cut a hole. And I was in a bad spot. And immediately upon exiting the bathroom I remember being called out for. What do you mean? I didn't hot in here.
- [200:31]
B
I'm sorry. Way.
- [200:33]
A
Let's go home, man. I gotta go home. You guys watching the Blair Witch Project in here? I don't want to watch this anyway.
- [200:42]
E
All right.
- [200:42]
A
A. We need to do a giveaway. Do a giveaway. What did you say was your favorite? The big cups. Yeah, Rees Reese's Big Cups. We'll give away. Hell yes. 30 Reese Big cup packages. Okay, okay. We'll give away our own Halloween.
- [200:59]
E
Yeah.
- [201:00]
A
It's not a trick, it's actually a treat. But a needs to do a trick to get treat. He's going to throw a football into that basketball hoop over there if it appears is what he's going to do. Aq, aq, AJ has something to say to you here to maybe make you this a successful giveaway of these Reese's Big cups.
- [201:18]
I
Yes, aq, I know you're going to do great. You're going to drain this. But I question if these young hooligans show up to your dad door with Mr. Skelly all beat up and they say hey, sorry, we saw a clip from the show. We want to return this to you. It's on. They give you their names and they're actually up front. Would you be okay with that? Would you not beat them to A pulp.
- [201:37]
C
You just said they give me Skelly back beat up.
- [201:41]
A
Yeah, you know fine how we saw him last on the ring cam.
- [201:46]
C
Yeah, for sure.
- [201:47]
I
But they admit it. They don't just drop it and run. They admit it and they come up as. As men and they. They apologize.
- [201:52]
A
As a group of men would do.
- [201:53]
C
Yeah, I would be okay with that.
- [201:55]
A
Okay, so this is an official answer because throughout the last couple hours, you have not given an official answer.
- [201:59]
C
Well, there was no. The original thing was just a drop off. Like, drop off?
- [202:03]
E
No.
- [202:04]
C
Ring the doorbell. No. Say hi. Hi, how you doing?
- [202:06]
A
Oh, you say you want more interaction with these guys? Yeah, they're trying to find out. They just want answer.
- [202:10]
D
Maybe they invite you to their party.
- [202:11]
A
What if they say, yo, oh man, why don't you come get for us? Because you saw how wheat was. We were actually. It got much worse after we left your front yard. We couldn't carry that thing. We actually carry him by one leg. Skelly actually lost the other leg. That thing's still your neighbor's yard. So Skelly might come back a little bang. But could you also carry this back to your house? Because we don't want to do that. You would do that.
- [202:31]
I
Skelly can't fit in a car either, though.
- [202:32]
G
Like what?
- [202:33]
I
Was there a car parked somewhere? Because where did they put them?
- [202:36]
A
These things are smart. They got a sprinter van.
- [202:38]
E
Yeah, sprinter van.
- [202:39]
C
Pickup truck.
- [202:40]
A
Yeah, sure. They got a chicken limo maybe out there. Something. They shove that thing.
- [202:44]
D
One time in college, we took a beer pong table from one house to another house about three miles away. You just hold on top of the roof.
- [202:51]
A
Oh, yeah. While you're driving.
- [202:52]
D
Yeah, that's probably what they do.
- [202:53]
A
Better than wrapping it. Yeah, even. Even better than wrapping it. Because guess what? We got all hands on deck, actually.
- [202:58]
E
Exactly.
- [202:58]
B
And it's aerodynamic and.
- [203:00]
A
Yeah, certainly.
- [203:00]
D
I assume that's what they did with Skelly.
- [203:02]
A
Yeah, and one guy actually might let across him on top as they held his hands and his feet. So they did strap it down. We don't know. We'd assume it was the. That left his.
- [203:10]
E
Yeah, the one that had to come back.
- [203:11]
A
Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah, he's the one that they're using across the top before. Oh, my phone. Oh, no. Evidence. Anybody else leave anything? No, you idiot. We didn't bring anything. Start tracking our phones maybe.
- [203:24]
D
Oh.
- [203:27]
A
All right. AQ Shipley, the man who lost his decorations from a bunch of hooligans Wiggins just a couple days ago. Who can now win 30 people. Some treats from the Thunderdome. AQ for the people. Reese's. Big C.
- [203:48]
E
Not the right line.
- [203:50]
A
That was good. That was one of your better efforts, I would say.
- [203:52]
C
I tried to take some off.
- [203:53]
A
Do you think you should throw more? Because this is worth a combined $60 as opposed to what is normally worth worth 20,000 to $25,000.
- [204:02]
C
Yeah, for sure. One more.
- [204:03]
A
Okay, yeah, one more. One more.
- [204:04]
D
I'll do one more.
- [204:06]
A
Now, obviously, this is his first try at attempting this. Don't bother what you just saw. This man is at a brand new mindset. He can potentially win 50 Reese's. Oh, my God. Big cups for 50 random people. All he's got to do is put that football into that hoop right over there. Con man, what are your thoughts on maybe 50 big cups going out the door?
- [204:25]
B
I mean, 50 pickups. It's awesome.
- [204:27]
E
And.
- [204:27]
B
And also AQ. Good shoes. The. The shoes you wore the last couple weeks suck. And. Yeah. And boy, oh, boy, they nailed the color schemes we wanted. But you can do this.
- [204:38]
A
I'll tell you what, seeing those up live in person for, like, potentially me is a whole different game than just watching on aq.
- [204:45]
B
Exactly.
- [204:45]
A
Body.
- [204:46]
B
Yeah.
- [204:46]
A
Good, right? What's that?
- [204:48]
B
Great, man.
- [204:49]
A
Yes, that's. They certainly are. I. I'm going to be honest. Cam seems like an incredible guy. I learned about him. I checked out his Instagram page. I'm very thankful. This guy's a beast. Okay. I'm not saying he's not a beast. I though. Okay. It's hard for me with these eyes to just go like this and then accidentally do one of these and see those on my body. I. I just. I don't know why I can't do it. I don't like it.
- [205:14]
C
You should wear. Wearing for U ball. I mean, you'll jump.
- [205:17]
A
Yeah, right? I mean, what are we talking about? The confidence is what I'm talking about. I don't have enough mental toughness like you do to be able to look down and see those on a fee and be like, yep, should walk in public. You know what I mean? That is the. That's where I'm at. But they are incredibly comfortable. If I was to go on a run, I would put those on Cam. I'm not a big time runner because my knees are terrible, but if I was to which I'm. Hey, these might actually save my knees.
- [205:40]
G
Good point.
- [205:40]
A
Okay, Cam. When I run, I'll wear those. Cam. And thank you for sending those to us and being a badass. It's just hard for me to look down and see a sure on my. You know what I mean? In public.
- [205:50]
C
Pretty cool, though.
- [205:51]
A
Yeah, but I'm not 90 years old. I, I, I should, you know, we're getting there. You're right. You're right. And maybe I should try them out. I did it. I did those hocus for a little bit.
- [206:00]
C
Yeah.
- [206:00]
B
Love the hocus.
- [206:01]
A
Hocus were sick. They were all white, though. Yeah. These ones have a lot of pizzazz. These shoes have a lot of pizzazz. A.J. did you know that?
- [206:11]
B
Oh, I know.
- [206:11]
I
D. Bone was wearing a pair when I came in last Friday.
- [206:14]
A
What?
- [206:15]
E
Oh, yeah. Size 19.
- [206:17]
I
So wheat.
- [206:18]
A
Thank you. I. Those are what I'm gonna run in. So when you guys see me out about. You're gonna see me running in those? Hell, yeah. And you know what? It. I'll commit to a half marathon at some point. Okay.
- [206:30]
B
Okay.
- [206:31]
I
Full marathon.
- [206:32]
C
I'll run up with you.
- [206:33]
A
Four marathon, half.
- [206:35]
C
We'll start run the half.
- [206:36]
A
All right. Let's do a 5K. Okay. We'll commit to a 5K. I'm not a runner.
- [206:40]
B
Walk or run here.
- [206:41]
C
How about this Pat Tillman run out in Arizona.
- [206:45]
A
When is it?
- [206:46]
C
April.
- [206:47]
D
What?
- [206:48]
A
What?
- [206:48]
G
We have the draft.
- [206:49]
B
We have the draft.
- [206:49]
A
October, November.
- [206:50]
C
It's not the day of the draft.
- [206:51]
A
November, December. You never know, though. That's a good question. Hey, listen, you had me as soon as you said Pat Tilman. Let's. I think it's 5K 4.2 miles. Is that what it is?
- [207:01]
F
Yeah.
- [207:02]
C
There you go.
- [207:03]
A
21St annual Pats Run, number 42. When is it?
- [207:07]
E
Oh, April 2nd, maybe.
- [207:09]
A
Okay, that's what we'll do. 4.2 miles.
- [207:11]
C
There it is. I'll run it with you.
- [207:13]
A
All right.
- [207:15]
B
Bone said he's going to run it too, so.
- [207:17]
A
Thank you, Bone. That's very good of you, Bone.
- [207:19]
D
I once did the start of the Grand Canyon to the end of the Grand Canyon. Those things. I didn't feel a thing.
- [207:26]
A
That was set in here within the last 24 hours. AJ will you do this as well?
- [207:31]
I
I might. I can, I can walk a 4.2 mile situation.
- [207:34]
A
No, no. With these shoes?
- [207:35]
G
Yeah.
- [207:36]
D
You could run with these.
- [207:37]
I
No, you put them.
- [207:37]
A
I don't have a pair.
- [207:38]
I
I don't have any. Sorry, I don't. I don't have any.
- [207:41]
A
There is a pair for you. We got your pair. And we got a hat, too, that was sent to us. We got a pair for you. So you got these shoes and you got a very cool hat coming. Yeah. So just know that that's on its way. Way. So you will commit to that?
- [207:53]
I
I'll commit to possibly walking the 4.2. Yeah.
- [207:56]
F
Okay.
- [207:56]
A
It's not a commitment and saying possibly afterwards and then it not being what we're doing. So like that's not. I think you just kind of abused. I'll join.
- [208:04]
I
I'll join you guys. Yes, I will join you guys and wear those amazing shoes.
- [208:08]
A
But you're wearing shoes in the process of leading up to it. You see, that's what we're saying. Oh, I have to like.
- [208:12]
I
I have to like work out in going public in those.
- [208:16]
A
I wouldn't recommend.
- [208:18]
G
I wouldn't go that far.
- [208:19]
E
Jesus.
- [208:20]
A
No, I'll run. I'll run. I'm going to talk it. I'm going to flop it.
- [208:24]
B
Okay, we're talking.
- [208:27]
A
And what am I going to wear for the 4.2 miles though with those?
- [208:32]
B
It doesn't even matter.
- [208:33]
A
That's in public, right? Is this a private run?
- [208:36]
G
Public.
- [208:37]
A
I know it's 4.2 miles in a.
- [208:39]
D
House or something sometimes I don't know.
- [208:42]
A
That's going to be tough for me to do. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it.
- [208:46]
D
All right.
- [208:47]
A
Shout out to Cam for sending the shoes. Honestly, he knew that there's no way in hell I would ever wear those things. And I'm very, very thankful that he sent him because guess what? It just did. It got me into running. That thing got me back into running.
- [208:58]
I
Now you're a runner. Now you're a runner.
- [209:00]
A
So are you age. You committed to a.
- [209:02]
I
Committed to running? You know I can't the slow run. I am not a slow runner.
- [209:06]
A
I run.
- [209:06]
I
I'd probably run a 15 minute mile if I had to run four laps around a track.
- [209:09]
A
It's April 11th is when this takes place. How many perfect. I do fear that I have something.
- [209:19]
I
I did. I did hear your April was pretty booked up.
- [209:22]
E
That's a couple days after the national championship.
- [209:26]
B
That's the week of mania. Yeah. That's the only problem.
- [209:28]
D
It's actually the. It's also the weekend of the Masters as well so.
- [209:32]
I
Oh, you can watch off that we're.
- [209:34]
A
Off for the Masters. I mean that actually you didn't have.
- [209:37]
I
To be what can win that thing.
- [209:40]
A
Hey, we pitched. We asked to go down. Remember when we asked to be live from Augusta?
- [209:45]
B
Yeah.
- [209:46]
A
Boy, oh boy.
- [209:47]
B
Hindsight shocked.
- [209:48]
A
Shocked it didn't happen. Oh just even more so now like with everything that we know. Like there was multiple parties saying absolutely not There, you know, let alone the hardest group to get in. Yeah, this other one, I guess.
- [210:00]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we. We'll check.
- [210:03]
A
Yeah, that. That is. That's so funny to think that that was at one point an actual thought. Boys, with this licensing with ESPN in the properties that they have, there is a chance that we were able to do our show live from fucking Augusta national. Boys. Think about that. Think about it. We'll do the whole fucking gimmick. We'll do the thing for them. Obviously, that's what we thought. Then we started having conversations like, yeah, yeah, we'll certainly put that amen idea because you're trying to get. Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah. Go back to the board. There's a chance. It sounds like there's an actual chance here. Yeah. Fucking right.
- [210:41]
E
Yeah.
- [210:42]
A
That was never, ever going to happen.
- [210:44]
E
No, it wasn't for the better, by the way.
- [210:46]
A
Yeah, we don't deserve that, to be honest. But us thinking we're going to do. So what I'm saying is there was a time where we thought we were working Masters week. It turns out that we are not working Masters, which has become kind of nice.
- [210:58]
B
Very nice.
- [210:58]
A
Shout out to whoever. Same with March Madness, multiple places. Yeah, it's been pretty nice.
- [211:02]
B
Yeah. Incredible.
- [211:03]
A
Be able to enjoy it. And this year, 4.2 miles.
- [211:07]
B
Yeah, let's go look at those shoes while you do it.
- [211:14]
C
Just.
- [211:15]
A
So how long have I gone here?
- [211:16]
B
You think at least.
- [211:20]
I
You'Re almost done. Almost done.
- [211:22]
A
I mean, you guys can't take anything serious. What, two and a half miles? Yeah, Right?
- [211:29]
I
You're a pretty good pace.
- [211:30]
A
I thought I was moving a little bit. That's why I just want.
- [211:32]
I
If you were in the shoes. If you were in the shoes. Heck, how springy you'd be. You'd be covering so much ground.
- [211:37]
A
I'm not doing it. Y. All right. Hey. 50 big cups.
- [211:43]
G
Holy.
- [211:44]
A
Out the Thunderdome on this glorious Halloween week. All you gotta do is put the. That football into that hoop right over yonder.
- [211:52]
C
Jesus.
- [211:55]
A
Jesus can't help you. He's dead.
- [211:58]
D
You're speaking to him, though.
- [211:59]
C
I knew it was short because it left the hand.
- [212:00]
A
He died for our sins. But both online.
- [212:03]
C
Both online. Yeah, yeah, sure.
- [212:05]
A
Now Jesus is in this building and even he couldn't help that throw. I know free will gives you a lot of different things. In this particular. Particular case, a terrible. Yeah, terrible throw.
- [212:19]
E
He had enough.
- [212:20]
A
Jesus Christ.
- [212:20]
D
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
- [212:22]
A
I'm sorry.
- [212:23]
B
Thought.
- [212:23]
D
I didn't know.
- [212:24]
A
Thank you. I know you could have helped aq. That's on me. It just didn't appear as if you could with how shitty that throw was. You understand? You saw it. Amen. Good work out of uaq. Great work today.
- [212:34]
D
I didn't know aj.
- [212:36]
A
AJ was just disgusted with that thrill. Yeah, I think he was.
- [212:39]
D
Oh, he just texted. It just dropped me. In case we didn't know.
- [212:43]
A
Who's it, bro? Tell him him.
- [212:47]
E
It just dropped me.
- [212:49]
A
I mean, that was a bad tattoo.
- [212:51]
C
Yikes.
- [212:52]
A
That was worse than yours. Do you know the new throw is underhand?
- [212:58]
C
Yeah, I know.
- [212:59]
B
I saw you diabolic.
- [213:05]
A
All right, we're go play some U ball. Okay, let's do it. Hey, good luck to everybody.
- [213:10]
D
Good luck to everybody.
- [213:13]
A
I'll tell you what. There was some breaking news this morning out of the U ball world.
- [213:17]
C
Wow.
- [213:18]
A
There might be a prodigy coming through. Honestly, legitimately. Surprise of the morning was Bruce Brown's breaking news on X. Who is the official U ball insider and leak are. Ernest is a real player. He's a baseball player in high school. So he thought maybe he should throw because I said, hey, throwing is a style was pioneered by a guy who's your biggest fan. And he said, let me just shoot it like a basketball. Made it. Made the next one. Made the next one. This guy went four or six.
- [213:46]
E
Pretty good.
- [213:47]
B
Really good. That'll play.
- [213:48]
A
Yeah, that'll play. Now he was in some cowboy boots and I don't know how much he's moving on defensive end, but Ernest, I believe is a free agent and what I heard rumblings and I don't want to put the fat soap bones in in any trouble here. From Bruce Brown, the official source of U ball allegedly Debone's looking to sign Ernest to his team.
- [214:08]
B
Oh no.
- [214:09]
A
And drop all of his other partners. Is that what you were hearing Bruce, in the U ball universe? Yeah, I mean we were.
- [214:13]
G
We were all present for debone waistband in it all. All morning when. When Ernest was around. I. I do. I do think and. And have confirmed what with sources that he is considering moving on from his current partners if earned dog is available.
- [214:29]
A
Okay. Earn is hilarious, by the way.
- [214:31]
B
Yeah, the man.
- [214:32]
A
Yeah, Ern is absolutely.
- [214:33]
F
He.
- [214:33]
A
He gave me this jacket. Like I don't think he. I don't know if he gave it to me or just left it here. Last time he was here, right. He left something. He left. Yeah, he is. He's a. Ernest. Earn, you're a hilarious dude. And he might be the best U ball player of all time. I've never seen somebody make the amount of shots.
- [214:48]
D
Seriously?
- [214:49]
B
Yeah. Good crew.
- [214:50]
A
Yeah, Great crew. Whole squad. Matt. Dylan. Boys. All right. Have a good one. We're out of here. We'll be back tomorrow. What's tonight? World Series.
- [214:56]
E
Yeah.
- [214:56]
A
How'd hockey go last night? 109 goals, I heard.
- [214:59]
G
A lot of goals, a lot of games, a lot of big plays, a lot of big hits. And unfortunately the Pittsburgh Penguins fell short.
- [215:06]
D
No, they got a point.
- [215:07]
G
They got a point though. They're still hot.
- [215:08]
A
I saw the graphic. Sitting Crosby was on. I just.
- [215:11]
E
He scored.
- [215:12]
G
Scored.
- [215:13]
D
They did not lose.
- [215:13]
B
They got a point.
- [215:15]
A
Oh, we tied. Lost over overtime.
- [215:16]
F
Yeah.
- [215:16]
A
Shoot up.
- [215:17]
G
Shoot up. Scored a goal in overtime. It got taken back.
- [215:20]
A
Oh, that's. We're getting screwed. What happened?
- [215:22]
G
They scored a goal in overtime and got taken back as well.
- [215:25]
A
Well, you got screwed again. So. So what happened?
- [215:29]
G
How Gino jumped on the ice and the goalie wasn't off the ice yet. He was a little too eager.
- [215:33]
C
Nice.
- [215:34]
D
Classic Gino.
- [215:35]
A
Yeah, but isn't there kind of like a gray area there whenever it comes to that? Yeah.
- [215:38]
G
Yeah. I don't think the goalie was particularly close to the gray there.
- [215:42]
A
Oh, he's still on the ice. Very clearly on the ice. Gino, come on, he can't be doing that. He thought the goal, he was going to be a little faster maybe. Maybe he thought you can't even get.
- [215:50]
G
Mad at him for it because you know he was trying to make a play, trying to win the game.
- [215:53]
A
Yeah. Mark Andre Flory would have gone over there faster. That's all I'm saying.
- [215:56]
D
The current goalie named King Slovis is our sweet pr. Sweet, sweet Slov.
- [216:01]
B
Fat Slovis is still in there.
- [216:02]
G
Artur, she loves. Artur, she loves.
- [216:06]
A
Better known as King.
- [216:07]
G
King Slovis from his days with the coovers.
- [216:09]
A
He's a good, young, talented goalie. Slow ass skater though. He needs to figure that out.
- [216:13]
E
He does like it.
- [216:14]
A
Yeah, he's affecting us on the offensive end. I wouldn't.
- [216:17]
G
You know, we've seen what Jari has.

D
Done over the years.
- [216:19]
A
Let's, you know, let's.
- [216:21]
H
Let's appreciate Slovis here.
- [216:23]
A
Yeah, you're right. Jari was a fast skater. But we're always having to pull the goalie because we're always losing because he can never stop a fucking puck.
- [216:29]
J
Yeah.
- [216:30]
G
Tell you what surprise of the year might be. The Utah Mammoths are have the best record NHL.
- [216:36]
A
So much money into that place. So much money. Isn't it crazy? Whenever you have like a fully invested ownership operation, it Matters big time and everything. I mean, the Lions just paid Aiden Hutchinson 141 million. Everything changed when Sheila Fordham took over college ball now. Same thing.
- [216:53]
B
Yeah.
- [216:53]
A
Active ownership, which is active boosters.
- [216:55]
D
Tell you what, one of the big three is getting a lot of flowers on the Internet parley. She on the side there?
- [217:00]
A
Yep.
- [217:00]
B
Yeah, it's really cool.
- [217:01]
A
Harley looked so sweet this past weekend. She had her grandma's USA jacket on. Okay. For Salute to Service weekend. It was usa. It had an American flag on the back of it. It was bedazzled. She had leather, black leather pants on. And then she had white suede and black shoes. She looked like Michael Jackson.
- [217:18]
B
Great game day fit.
- [217:19]
A
She was. She looks so sweeter. Like she was standing there obviously doing her thing and, and we saw her from the side and it just was a USA jacket across the back. I'm like, jesus Christ, what is this? She's absolutely slaughtering it over there. And everybody was making fun of her obviously. Cause it's very different. And then she started explaining herself and started talking more about it and it's like, hey, I'm about to make like millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars in decisions on people. And I wasn't lucky enough to grow up playing football. I've been around the team, I've been around the NFL, but I don't really know the ins and outs. Whenever she was first coming around running the day to day operations, it was during maybe 2011, 2012 is whenever she was full time back in every single day. She'd been around obviously a lot, but like it became like full time thing. She would have Matt Hasselbeck come in like I think once a week, break some stuff down. She would have other people break stuff down. She would be trying to learn as much as possible. Like she was trying to catch up with as much as she possibly could. So whenever she moves down to the sideline, we all were like, yes. And she did. She didn't give a fuck either. By the way. Carly will wear whatever the hell she wants. She, she's very comfortable and very confident in who the hell she is. She's a dog too. Like an absolute beast. Carly is a beast. And once she starts going down there, everybody's like, this is terrible. This is stupid idea, stupid idea. And then she's like, I'm just trying to fucking learn what's going on. Okay. Yeah, I'm just trying to learn what's going on my job. And then like as she's continuing to do it and you hear coaches Be like, not a problem. We're winning 7 and 1. She's on a thing. It's like, nobody views it as a problem. Actually, what I think a lot of people are saying is like, hey, maybe my fucking owner should have a clue what the hell's going on. So whenever they're making decisions in the future that's good for the franchise, they actually know what's kind of taking place. It's interesting, the kind of narrative around it, and it's like, yeah, I'm happy she's getting her flowers because she's been very invested in this for years. This is years of this happening now at this point, not just this year.
- [219:11]
D
It's good when owners are invested in the right ways, because obviously, she wants to know what's going on because she's going to make all the decisions, but she's also not, you know, overstepping. Like, she's not telling the coaches what to do and stuff like that. She just wants knowledge, which is good for owners.
- [219:24]
A
Yeah. And then Kaylin, obviously, with the brand, everything she's doing with kicking the stigma, she's getting awards for how much they're investing in everything. And in the city, it's like. And then Carly, obviously, Carly and Casey, I'm sorry, in there in the building every single day as well. It's like they're. I think the way they described it, and I don't want to speak out of pocket here, is like, it's a pretty interesting thing, preparing for this moment, because that means, you know, what had to happen. So, like, their entire lives, they've been talking about this moment, but they knew when this moment would come, what would have had to happen for that to take place. So it's devastating while also feeling, like, prepared and. And preparing for something, and it's like they're killing it right now.
- [220:02]
E
Oh, yeah.
- [220:02]
A
And that Colts culture is all the way back, and you still feel Jim Ursay around all of it, you know, so it's. It's a really cool season we got going on right now, but you look around, Sheila Ford ham. Soon she becomes owner up there. Outstanding. Everything kind of changes. It's an interesting dynamic, you know, it's very interesting dynamic with new ownership, new heads, new minds.
- [220:22]
E
Yeah. And for. For them, you know, like, in a situation like that where it's like, you're a billionaire, you never have to. But, like, they care about their family's legacy, too. Like, this team is, especially with, you know, Mr. Ursay passing away. Like, it's just. It's nice to know that the bottom line isn't the only thing that matters. You know, like, they actually. They know how much people around here care about it. The Colts haven't been this good for a long time now. Like, they care about their family's legacy moving forward.
- [220:48]
B
And you can throw Katie Blackburn in there. Like, you say what you want about the Bengals, but she cares about that business. And she. Although she has said a lot of things, like, at least she is in the building and she's trying, even though, you know, a lot of us don't evolve, though. Yeah, evolved.
- [221:02]
A
They haven't been perfect, but they've certainly evolved from what they were. And it's like, yeah, I think people should be checking out Carly's fits, too. She. She slays that thing. Just how comfortable she is. Big ass dress. It's cool to see them on the field on game day. I think that's really rare for owners. I feel like they have that meeting. Like, owners will have, like, a pregame meeting where they'll have, like, a flock of, like, six security people, ancillary friends and family, and they'll do the walk across, and then, like, the two parties will gather, and then the owners will meet, and they'll do that entire thing. And then normally, everything kind of separates. Yeah. It's like Kaylin's running around, like, meeting, talking to everybody. Thank you for coming. Carly's doing the same exact thing. Chatting with people. Halftime stuff, even. It's cool. It's like. It very much feels like it's like a community owned. It's a interesting dynamic that's happening over here.
- [221:51]
F
