Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble the boat the draft Kings Don't get on on this over at your Monday September 7th 2026 this sports program begins now This spectacular isn't it? I mean what all weekend week one of college football kicked off in a massive way had a Absolute thriller last night as all miss gets by a huge win over Louisville and then don't look now Wisconsin didn't look ass against Notre Dame in the first half until they turned it on and Saturday night obviously LSU played late late into the night as weather continued to delay all damn day after a college game day Lightning delay the game kicks off at 849 40 local 1040 Eastern nothing goes late into the night and I don't think LSU Would have ever been stalked that game goes until 3 4 a.m. Against that Clemson team no pros no problem for Lane Kiffin now This makes you wonder about all of the jousting in public fighting in the ridicule and seemingly conjecture that was taken place about Lane Kiffin
And his LSU tenure whenever you watch them just absolutely dismantle the Clemson Tigers now this was the first year the Clemson was not in the top 25 in the AP pole before the season started in a long time So maybe a lot of people knew that this was coming but just an absolute Rumping of a team in opening weekend of a whole new era you're dunking on a sideline you got Reality TV stars and influencers walking in with the team you have the eyes of the entire college football world looking at Injunctions in your courthouse and then you just go on a field and pound a team just absolutely demolish them in showcase At your bigger stronger faster than probably everybody you're gonna play against Sam levitt the quarterback When he was at Arizona State he can run He can run run and now he's all the way back after at least Frank injury took him out last year He's running all over the damn yard He's got weapons all over the place and this LSU team I think they want to kill people they have really bought into the fact that they are the villains They have really bought into how everybody hates us everybody hates us Not just the team and obviously the coach the entire fan base the entire fan base a little of it said it was like that now
They all got out of there pretty quickly Okay, whenever that game started getting a little bit out of control It was a long day down there and Rouge. I think Lane understood I think the team understood and I think everybody that watch that game live or on TV says wait is LSU potentially gonna Make a run at this title is this the reason why Lane Kiffin left old miss is he go donner so they can get more speed more Size more physicality than maybe anybody else and he brings his offense a coordinator in from old miss Who's an absolute wizard who has a green daughter can tell Sam levitt who has already made it to the college football playoff with Arizona State You can tell Sam levitt in his head to read hey, they got covered here and I look here right There go, but I'm just looking to do is right they're playing video game stuff down there That's what Lane Kiffin and his offense has capability of doing especially if they have the weapons he looked they looked unbelievable They're not the only ones though. There was great performances across the board There are some ass performances across the board and college football kicked off in a huge way What a wonderful time we got an NFL game Wednesday night. Yes There we go Patriot Seahawks kick off the NFL season on Wednesday night
I cannot wait to see what these teams look like after an offseason for the Seattle Seahawks that has been documented on hard knocks It has been phenomenal to learn about this team McDonald the head coach there young defensive guru Obviously he gets hired as the defense coordinator for Baltimore Ravens What's he gonna do all the offensive geniuses have been hired as head coaches now a young defensive genius gets hired as a head coach Is this guy gonna know game management because normally that's the offense side of the ball Is he gonna be able to talk to the other team is he gonna be able to keep up on the offense aside because you're gonna have to lose Offense coordinators if you have any success over there He's had to manage all of that here in the first couple years of him being a head coach and he won a Super Bowl So I think the Seattle Seahawks are well on their way and this McDonald air to potentially be the next dynasty of the NFL And on the other side speaking of dynasty the greatest dynasty in the history of sports the New England Patriots have a brand new Pack to that it's all around Drake May who was a second place your MVP last year Yeah, I should have been first, but yes Well, there's some things coming out now with some voters saying some things and doing some things certainly looks like that They've added weapons. This is a great way to kick off this NFL season after a spectacular college football week one
Football's dominant and we're very lucky for that. You know, it also is dominant Team USA women's national okay pass ball 32 consecutive feeble world cup wins. We were in a close one with Gratzi. I mean the Italian ladies were putting us through some hell Feel like all USA couldn't make everybody in the United States of America. Uh-huh. That was potentially gonna be on that team I think yesterday was a day couldn't make a shot. Okay. It was just it was a real barn burner with Italy We sneak by I think it was a nice wake up call Chelsea Gray down the stretch wanted the ball Give me the ball give me the ball I beast through water action. It went to the old guard Down the stretch there all the youngs basically off the court. Alia Boston was really the only New time or two feeble world cup and she's obviously One of the highest paid players in WNBA been around a long time Caitlin Clark couldn't make a shot. She's on a sideline pages on a sideline They went to the old guard out there and we got a big time win over Italy This is happening USA's about to win another title over the rest of the world
We definitely need to celebrate that now. Let's go to the talks table at Boston Conner and at Tyshmit 40 nothing for Iowa How you doing keep it moving? What a start for the big 10 in for the Hawkeyes and welcome back We missed your brother. Thank you very much. Yeah great weekend great weekend You know you never know there's a lot of you know question marks in the air every time you go into a new college football season and Listen, I'm not gonna act like Northern Illinois is the best team in the world But when you have an a speeding like that and you dominate in all three phases of the game Which Iowa typically dominates in two phases of the game not so much three but boy. I'll tell you what you know It's start of the year. I'm starting to feel like and this might be the year the Hawks break through and make it to the college football play Okay, because we were talking about Iowa on college game day And I couldn't remember that man right there Tony Diaz's name in real time I apologize came from a smaller school But we were watching highlights all spring and also through training camp of Iowa throwing the football and completing it That is not happened first off I always been a big time rugby football team for a long time and this Diaz guy
We're doing body control and spring training in in training camp We're watching them make some real plays. It's like is this what the team's gonna look like whenever push comes a shove and they did I think did it not look like that time. What are you shaking your head for? So I mean, yeah, he's unbelievable He's arguably the most talented receiver I was had in a long long time But I I personally believe Iowa has a top five if not the best offensive line in the country Camari molten had a hundred and thirty two rushing yards and you know eight minutes of game time So they're gonna pound the rock they basically just need a quarterback who's not gonna turn the ball over But when you have a guy like that who you can confidently throw it to on third and long Yeah, it's it's gonna look a little bit different for Iowa Maybe the Iowa Hawkeyes do pick up those big explosives that you need to continue to compete against the big-time teams Don't that's a whole another conversation whenever you look at like LSU now LSU team on paper When you just look at size dims speed everything. It's like is there gonna be a team that's more talented than them Then they're able to piece it together now How deep are they this is the big thing? This is like when you're constructing your roster how deep can you become whenever you have a lot of high-end type of town now
We know there's no salary-capping college football we understand they can spend and will spend whatever down there Four-line Kiffin and his LSU team to get back to the national championship Well, they'd be able to withstand an entire season like this because if they are good for college football the villains which they have Bought into oh yeah are showing up with some of the most explosion that they have they're not the only ones though Join in saying one crazy archmaning one crazy. Let's go to one half of the hammer Cowboys AP tone big spreads this weekend for college football What did the slate kind of tell us whenever we should maybe look ahead for gambling down the stretch with the best Sports book on earth Draft kings if you're of age and agree to gamble or trade responsibly and not like an asshole We'd love for you to join us on draft kings available in all 50 states What did the slate tell us about going ahead here Tom? Yeah, I mean there was a lot of huge spreads this weekend a lot of these FBS top 10 teams playing lesser teams with 40 50 points spread you talked about Texas. So Ohio State I you all those teams situations So it's kind of hard. It's hard to take away in situations like that like Julian saying in the first drive miss a couple throws
But then after that. Sorry. Excuse me was unbelievable Same with Indiana you can choked up me too. I was That's not your NFL Dude, I was I almost had a tear in my eye in that pregame show I was very lucky and thankful to do that pregame show alongside Des Joey Reese Right on the sideline. Yeah, and I like looked around at one point it was live on error I obviously didn't have a mute button. So I was pretty apologetic afterwards But I just looked around I saw like a hundred two thousand people that have kind of waited the entire day And I was like man, this is beautiful like this is what life is supposed to be I got emotional just like you are here while you're talking about these spreads. Yeah, but so like it's it's like What can you take away from week one because a lot of this like this is a preseason game for a lot of those top 10 teams They're just kind of feeling it out. They're playing base coverage and stuff like that running you know vanilla stuff on off And trying to figure out what their guys are in situations like that like even Oregon and boys It was a super close game But Oregon outgamed them by 250 yards So like how do you what do you take away from those situations? I think you just want to see these teams be crisp and clean and there was a lot of that this weekend from a lot of the top teams
And there was a lot of teams that you kind of have questions about now moving forward or was it just a week one thing? So don't take it's hard not to take too much from there like last Notre Dame last night everyone's like oh this team sucks in the first half and then you know They kind of settle in and they win by 30 or whatever they cover the spread in that situation So it's kind of hard. What do you take away from week one? It's kind of the question for me from this week. Yeah, if you fell asleep during the Wisconsin Notre Dame game You probably think Notre Dame asked yeah Maybe they just had a half where they had to figure it out and the second half is who they are and then on you think about I mean, it's hard not to be like Clemson is this what Clemson actually is or they just run into an actual buzzsaw in The first week because they always talk about week one to week two being the biggest development of your team I think we learn a lot more next weekend than we did this past weekend But you have to get off to a hot start debuff. Yeah, you want to it But don't just mention it with no preseason in college football You do have to really find out a lot of things when the real bullets are firing So a lot of teams that we know all the movement that happens in all seasons of coaches coordinators all the transfer Portal guys so a team like LSU coming out like yeah
You have the talent you have the coaching staff, but actually putting together and showing up and putting belt to ask on the national stage Is impressive and then the teams that you have the question about it's like do you do they figured out going down the line team like Clemson You waited till you know the 11th hour to name a starter and then you changed the quarterback a halftime So there's still questions there exactly so it's still questions there with dabbo and that's a team that it's not like you know FBS schools playing against these lower this is a big time college program with big time college recruits year in a year out So what will they be going down the stretch? But yeah, just just having ball back with was electric that environment was electric game day been back You guys I think did a great job obviously through all the the shit with the weather So I'm just glad we're back man. That was LSU officials and ESPN safety sure saying that there was lightning within eight miles in a way was going that we had to go inside and With with eyes that I have I did not like that because it didn't see you know I didn't appear as if we were in danger, but obviously people that are much smarter than us in this field
I grew up in Denardos town. Yes, I don't know you tell me but they were looking out for us Which we're very grateful shout to the LSU fans because we told them multiple times even dorm break as we're heading in there like Hey, we're being told to be safe like you guys obviously can do it and should do whatever the hell you need to yeah Right, hey, set that thing out. They didn't even leave didn't move the shot you go back out there. They're alive yet again It was so cool to be back. It was it was a lot of fun Obviously week one of the of the season so there's new stuff obviously it's getting rolled out and trying But I think everybody did an incredible job. We got a hall of fans now shout out to those kids and getting in there He could be you you show up and do something awesome. You get to hall of fans Shout out to master sergeant Cliff and his wife Jennifer Valuci who traveled all last year They made another appearance are they gonna do that again? We should say in Bruce miss two million All it looks like you so close shot to home depot by the way. Yeah, yeah, that's incredible news I wonder if they knew of week one. Okay, we're gonna do I just thought because a lot of people have said like that's not like art my money. That's not your money
You're doing it's like what company you think is just gonna let me go out there and say I have a million bucks If this random kid we've never met before it makes a kick we're gonna give that to it's like that no companies ever gonna Give him a bunch more chances if you No, companies ever gonna actually do that especially you know like we'll do a $5,000 kick like a $2,500 kick I think is pretty good. It's like nah the pressure of the money is what makes kicking you know kind of kicking So we get to add that added element so no company is just gonna be open like yeah blank check Buddy every single week whatever you want to do and I think that's what makes it is the we got put the pressure on this It's got to be life changing forever like can you make the kick in that particular moment? So hum deep welcome and say hey, we understand we like it and we'll match whatever you put in there It's like thank you like that is so incredibly kind of you to do There's gonna be a lot of people that are gonna benefit from that We're obviously gonna get into charity stuff as we continue to go But I thought he was gonna make a million dollar kick start off season well next week be a million dollar kick Probably not can't have that be every week. No, right Let's start the season there. Okay, let's pivot away from college We'll come back to it with Reese Davis here in about 25 30 minutes on his big takeaways
We're gonna call that the Reese's pieces We can excited to talk to him joining us now senior NFL insider from ESPN a Michigan man Huh interesting ladies and gentlemen Adam Schefter He's chefty just so we can all be on the same page here. How many seconds in a minute? Of course it is first of all there can't be too many people Who were at the game in 1994 were Michael Westbrook called that pass from a cordol Stewart I was there and I was at the game Shattered right now I left a little bit early. I didn't see I was in there in the state You left one the game ended. Yeah, okay That's what you're saying you left one the game ended when Western Michigan was celebrating the win and when Clock hit zero. Hey when this clock hit zero We're all gonna look up and see what we need one play the time. Don't look up. Yeah, do your job when that scoreboard hit zero We will see where it all falls and then turns out from my understanding Adam You actually might know more about this because of your relationships and obviously Michigan being involved
And I think there's a lot of Michigan people that are necessarily like I Mean we will certainly take the win going forward, but we don't know how that which is as football fans in general I think a lot of us are learning about a secret clock and real time Do you know anything about this chef? Dean what are your thoughts as somebody that's watched a lot of football we all have Going yeah, right like this game was certainly over big 10s obviously come out transparently said we have this clock It match up with this if there was 10s of seconds it would still have one second on but it doesn't it's at zero That was released later so there's already a massive On slot of yeah, right. I've watched football my whole life that thing was at zero, bro This is obviously a work for the big 10 what are your thoughts on it? I know you're very close to the process, but just how it's kind of all unfolded and the information you might have that we do not have You know my father was watching the game and he shut the game off after that play I went to bed and told my mother in the morning the Michigan lost and I said no, no, no, they did not lose They won he's like they won so he had no idea after that play that seemingly was ending the game right there
We're watching it. I'll just say this I Guess they have to sink the clocks, but we're going by the TV clock the TV clock and Based on the TV clock that game looked over to me. I mean it just did even as a Michigan fan I thought the game was over somehow they found a second. I don't know how they did it. I was not in charge of it It was very strange ruling to me, but they put it not made the officials the big 10 whoever it was Yeah, they put a second back on the clock and it results in that play and And it was a big win for Michigan, which did not play well at all And it was a terrible loss for West. They're Michigan which came into the big house and played a great game Those guys played really hard and they played well enough to win the game and probably should have won the game I don't know where the second came from and the great part was I was watching my two kids and My daughter is like, you know what people forget is two plays back two plays back that There were eight seconds left and I said to my son and daughter Tom like whoa
He ran out of bounds. There were nine seconds left and they put a second back on the clock two plays earlier So they added the one second that came into dispute on the play in the back of the end zone right And then that led to the Hail Mary at the end of the game So nobody's talked about the play from two plays ago where they added another second that became The second that became the difference in the game. Yeah, so this is the video that the big 10 was putting out behind the scenes at hey Hey, we have 10th of seconds on our clocks and how ours are running all the way down to exactly zero And there was a showing of this I believe on one of the side challenge cameras that was trying to show a bunch of the Michigan fans as well About how it got there and there's like a video of that But I don't think any of us who have ever watched football for our entire lives knew that there was some secret 10th of second clocks Somewhere else because you keep talking about the TV camera TV camera or TV clock TV clock that used to be an actual just shot on the clock That's what it used to be before it was even like digitalized and everything like that They used to have the clock be the stadium clock and the refs always say can you please put blank back up there?
So I think every time they talk about the clock being an official timer of the game since I've watched Football the one that is on the stands in there I just think it makes us all very hard to believe that there's some secret one behind the scenes But that's what big 10 saying big 10 didn't come out and say that though publicly until it was already gone that they're the most crooked and corrupt organ Is there of all time? Oh, yeah, that is the conversation I was having like there's just some very heavy accusations and allegations I don't know if everybody should be as loud as they are being with this There might be some repercussions potentially you're saying those in the microphones But I think we all got pretty worked up about how this seems like a big work here This seems like Western Michigan got absolutely jobbed in Michigan in the big 10 And then this comes out later and then also Western Michigan came out and said we agree Okay, they explained him and then people are like they were told shut up You're getting paid a million half. It was like that was never gonna get enough information or evidence after the onslaught Already happened, but now I guess we know at least the big 10 has this we don't know who else has these types of things happening behind the scenes Does the NFL have one of these because we saw some of the NFL guys come out and go yeah
But the clock and the clock on TV and us are always kind of working to be in the same time because they operate it just only time We do sit in NFL is with the delay game calls and you it seems like they're always a little lenient towards the office in a quarterback We will us as viewers even as players on the field. We'll see the triple zero come up with a double zero in the back The end zone and they kind of wait that beat until they blow the whistle for the delay game So that's the only kind of time I can remember refs kind of having their own clock that we don't see But yeah, this was insane. Yeah, I think we're all feeling the same way. Can we all feel the same one? Yeah, big time rated That's how most of us feel would you have rushed the field shifter if you were still there? I'm leaving no I was like I go back to 1994 I Couldn't be standing on the Michigan sideline when cordled through that past the Michael Westbrook I was right there if you were back to the front page of the Rocky Mountain news the next day there was Michael Westbrook and Quiddell Hulking and I'm writing the background like completely stunned Flabberg as my school just got beat by CEO. I like here be wildered out there about what happened in front of your face that is
That's a wonderful here it is Yeah, yeah, I was right. I was feeling feel for that game the Broncos were playing in Buffalo Monday night I had to go to Buffalo so I stopped in Ann Arbor to take in that game and write about him So Rocky Mountain News he launches that rock and right there go back at that place Yeah, hold on. It's not being talked about enough shifter. Yeah, he was on the 27 yard. I is cordel stewarty Going to be slash he was a puntler-turner-water see for I think you played corner at some point and quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers Five-yard throw almost oh My god, I know that man either a cordel appreciate everything you did for the see he punnid for us to and Pittsburgh as a stealer I mean he played every position. I didn't know he could 73 yard death I mean that is outrageous good for him and what a win This obviously an iconic play that we need to revisit a little bit more often to put some respect on slash here cordel Stewart okay, let's move along Western Michigan. We all feel the same way bro. Yeah, we're all on your side We have no idea how to fix it
Unless they start putting a tense of seconds clocks up publicly on TV Hopefully that'll be able to clarify things but everybody on our things that the big 10 cook that for you That's good. That's how everybody feels even Michigan people I mean the amount of Michigan people that are texting me about how asked their team is and how they lost the western Michigan and how this isn't worse than Appstate but this isn't a good start to an entire Era of anything. Okay, let's move to football now our NFL football Wednesday Patriot Seahawks kicks off and then obviously Rams and Niners down there in Australia we were just a few days away from NFL season kicking off when a Roger Delgund extension congrats to him Let's go to mix but there's also some news about some of the players Puka will be playing even though there's a lot going on Yeah, how is the exemption list play in play here? Is it not in play? How do you see these types of things kind of unfolding over the next couple weeks? I think there's a real possibility that Puka's gonna go through the season on skate and not face any discipline for This part that off the field incident with that woman where he was accused of allegedly
I guess fighting her whether he did or didn't her didn't do that We'll see but he's gonna be out there on Thursday night against the 49ers Doesn't sound like he's gonna face any discipline this year right now We'll see if anything comes of that we're still waiting to hear about a laryx Jackson the Rams offensive tackle as well But right now look believe place Josh Jacobs on commissioner exempt it placed the Broncos edge Jonathan Cooper on Commission Exempt it didn't do that with Puka It didn't do that with a large Jackson and so it looks like those guys right now are Clear for the time being and he'll be out there Thursday night. He's played through the Sickness injury that he was having during camp He'll be out there and the Rams stole but they leave tomorrow they leave tomorrow for Australia and I just admit there since last week Which is kind of well how about this one? This is gonna be a while for you ready? Rahim Morris I have to double check this but I'm pretty sure this is accurate Rahim Morris turned 50 years old last
Wednesday he turned 50 the day that they were in the air and he lost his 50th birthday Due to the travel and they To Australia so he really have much of a 50th birthday, but that's the way it goes for the opener Yeah, and when he flies back he already missed it as well So I think he's 49 still I don't really do the math It is like a time warp when you're in that plane over there I'm eager to see the Rams reactions as they're in the sky and they're told they have another 16 hours left And the game is 24 48 hours away just to see how the decision was made But who knows who's writing this this has never happened before in Australia, especially a legitimate game Pumped to see it unfold and wrap up what we do know is after it was reported by junior You know junior you know junior Junior reported that it would be impossible to start to right now this guy with this guy. He's done it's I don't even know how you roll him out there you might drag strand is that guy? Yeah, you might roll out jack strand over this two is made impossible to be a starter
Well, he's been named starter tone has a question for you about that. Yeah, chef. Everyone's wanting did two a win the job or is just this just a Penix was not ready from an injury standpoint because I believe it was just a week ago that he was clear to do 11 on 11 He had been doing seven on seven and individuals in camp before that so this was was this a win for two or was this just not ready for panic Set I think it's a little bit of both to be honest with you. I think two or was better than people have led on the media I think they're pretty happy with him and they also know that it didn't take all the reps with all the ones the way that he would have to get him ready They were fine with two that they thought he did a good job, but but Hennox also did not Have a chance to really Distinguish himself and it took him a while to get ready and he still has only gone through a week of practice It's been one 11 on 11 week of practice firm So he needs more time to get ready and I think that penics at some point time You're probably sooner and later will get his crack and get his turn to be the starter
But they did not feel comfortable putting him out there right now so much so that he's not even gonna be the back of this week Cooper Russian will be the back up and two will be the starter So that's how it's gonna roll this week where penics will be the number three Cooper Russian will be the two Two is number one and they'd like to he'd he'd he'd he'd a solid summer But penics just not enough time to get ready for that big knee injury this summer last year and there you see it'll be the Sixth different starting quarterback an opening day for the Falcons in six years The guy that started Yeah Yeah, just just put your hand all over the speaker Yeah, just put your hand just right into it Put your right is it No, yeah, I think you're just if you could actually just DJ That'd be good. Can you hear it? Can we hear you know? Can you hear me out? You tell me? Oh, no, yeah, we you drop right back in and we'll call you back We'll call you back right now. We'll have to do it. It sounds like there's a connection situation
What he was gonna say though there the person that started this six different quarterback thing Matt Ryan He's not the president of football Yeah, so he is now running the entire show there brings in Stephansky straight out of Cleveland Fire from Cleveland. It's been a cluster up there. You can now be our head coach down here in Atlanta What was what's going on with Stephansky? If he was so good what happened in Cleveland? It's like well, he was hamstrung by the deal, you know the 230 million dollar guarantee deal he had people over his head that we're doing stuff He Andrew Berger is kind of getting restarting this thing because everything that happened above He said we'll give him relief. It's like clear that's the fanciest going with the veteran quarterbacks here Cooper Cush has played a lot of football. Yeah to a song the low has played a lot of football Michael Pennix has not yet had a lot of football in him It's the fanski how much time does he have down there who ends up going? How is it end up going? Certainly fascinating dilemma, you know the Commissioners exemption list is fascinating because he's like they see Like evidence and they go are you yeah, yeah, and then this one not like it to players when I hear there Or they have not even started because maybe there isn't a trial thing that feels like a big deal
As we go forward into what matters what doesn't matter? Puka play and though is a Huge energy for the Los Angeles Rams outland and for me that tells me a lot of things about potentially what's coming for Puka But I might be looking into it the wrong way. I think he's okay. I think the NFL would probably be safer That's not safer in this particular situation with where the NFL is so that's probably I mean I mean, we don't know it we have not heard the exacts But for me if Puka starts a season like this with everything has already happened that seemingly them saying something about how they feel So if Puka is able to get through in those season I'm gonna be talking about maybe offensive MVP type stuff here with what Puka and it cool is yeah And that kind of gets lost up in the conversation because Aaron and Miles Garrett are on the defense aside It's like on the offensive they might have the best player in football and I know nobody really wants to think that about a wide receiver Especially a guy that isn't like a 4-2-6-7 guy, but it's like Puka gets the ball catches everything through him. He's impossible to tackle They use him a lot McVeigh and he love each other. They're very close very tight not only as a football coach and player, but like as humans they
Side by side seemingly through a lot of different stuff. It's like Puka's gonna go crazy on Thursday I mean that is just an absolute fact it feels like yeah, and everything you try I think believe he was second in offensive player of the year last year behind JSN so yeah be a Puka being on the field is huge for them Especially opposite Devonte and all those tight ends that they're gonna use Yeah, this is him not being on that on the commissioner's exemplest is ginormous for them moving forward obviously Yeah, I think it's huge for the Los Angeles Rams have one of the best offensive weapons playing for them Joining us back again ladies and gentlemen a man that was in a car We don't know what happened to a speaker, but we do know his brain is still good ladies. Jim and I'm chef there Yeah, chef. Hey got me now. Yeah, yeah You sound like a little bit like whatever Last time that's what it sounded like whenever you were talking which we don't like because we need to hear your intel Because you make ball better. Okay as we head into obviously opening night D. But has a question for you chef Yeah, chef D. I just looking forward to Wednesday the injury report, you know, Nick and warrior I know he was banged up trevian Henderson's been some more reports coming out about him
Maybe not playing or going Wednesday. What else do you have for us Wednesday with those big name guys potentially Missing some time to start the season Trevian Henderson not at practice today again So it's hard to imagine that he's gonna play he hasn't practiced since August 24th I believe bar mar is not out there. We'll see if he can go Nick Eman-Worry at least was out there so it doesn't sound like he's very far away Although I still think it's a little bit ambitious to think that he'll be back this early in the season I think early in the summer they were not counting on that at the very least So we'll see if he can make it back up in the air at best right now But it certainly seems like trevian Henderson is the one guy that we're not counting on for Wednesday nights opener in Seattle Okay, Wednesday night opener in Seattle has one of the best corners in all of ball Is he happy con man has a question for you? Yeah, she'll have to do everything up in the air Is Christian Gonzalez getting paid where we add on that it feels as though every single report I see is that Christian Gonzalez is Probably not getting a deal at least unless it's gonna happen in within the next couple hours What is the situation here have they gotten any closer should I expect Christian Gonzalez to be disgruntled?
The entire season and not starting on Wednesday night Well, well, I could say is that again these things always can change but as of right now Talks are nowhere and again, there always could be a last second push and There always could be something that changes and we'll see how the two sides address it once the seasons underway But I think as of right now it's hard to imagine that the two sides would be able to make up the difference To get a deal done by opening night again We've seen crazy things happen and I'm sure there could be another push to try to see if they could salvage it and get it done But right now as of yesterday I was told it was not close and We'll see if they could figure anything by the start of the game It didn't sound like that was going to be the case then what what is it specifically chef There because it feels like this should be pretty easy since whether spoon just got paid is it the years is a guaranteed money like What is the reason they're they're not even close? I I don't know specifically, but I've never got the sense that they've gotten close here all along
And I'm gonna guess usually when that's the case it starts with money and I think Gonzalez want to be At or above Where where their spoon was the Patriots have never been there Um have not gotten close to there so I guess if you can't agree on the money the years become secondary Because money usually is the sticking point on all these things And it certainly seems like for whatever reason these two sides have not gotten close And I remember when with this rule was getting done It was a Saturday morning on the phone with various people Um at that time Gonzalez wasn't close Nothing since then has changed that And as of yesterday when I had checked in on it. I was told it wasn't close Again could something happen by tomorrow night sure they can have some conversation Uh tomorrow when's it a change of things I didn't sound like that was gonna be the case It was a Saturday morning. I was having my coffee there So you want to grab and I started to say hey this must be good for Gonzo and they said absolutely no
Nothing has happened over there speaking of good for football feels like a hit stick is all the way back with the hitman Go ahead time. Yeah, Shethie We heard over the weekend Harrison Smith's coming back to the Vikings on a one-year deal This is situation where they don't necessarily love what they have back there or were they kind of just Leaving the door open for him if he wanted to come back and is are they anticipating that he's gonna start? Sunday against the Packers I think they're planning Back and I think the door was always open when you have a guy if that character of that stature of that talent He's always welcome back and it always sounded like that that was a possibility that it was gonna be back Obviously just waited towards the end of the summer and forever a reason decided to make it officially He's gonna be back and I think that they think he's got a real chance to be ready and we've seen this happen before Where you've got a guy that it's so savvy and so seasoned they step in and and it seems like they physically challenge Themself and play above and beyond remember Philip Rivers in Seattle last year their first game like nobody thought
He might be able to do what he did and and he exceeded expectations and I think you know Harris to Smith is a pro he knows where it takes and I think that they're hoping and believing they'll be out there Yes, he certainly will his disguises are what make him so special His ability to be where he's supposed to be while appearing to not be anywhere near where he's supposed to be Quite a heavy player. I think he'll probably be able to understand where his body's at what the limitations are at the moment and figure it out in real time We as a football community are happy you're back Harrison Get him on the all DB team because I know there's been some trails blazed over the last couple years Certainly him entering year 15. I mean, he's been playing at a high high level for a very long time And she have to kind of mention knowing the ins and outs of this defense as versatile as he is when it comes to disguising Full and quarterbacks now obviously missing training camp and all that stuff not playing football That's obviously a question mark or something to look forward to but he knows how to get his body ready to go I'm sure he's been pushing himself in the offseason just like Aaron Donnell was But I can't I can't wait to see the hitman back on the field. Hey, what do we miss chef?
What if we not brought up? What do you have? And a few things for you first of all we got a mecca a bookah back at practice today for the bucks Which is good news. He's been dealing with a toe injury all along Jonathan Brooks is running off to the side not practicing with the team. We're waiting to see again What happens with him and I think his status for week one is up in the air He said soreness the panthers running back We've been waiting for to get back and of course we have the game Thursday night Between the 49ers and the Rams and I don't believe that there's still a final decision On George Kiddell yet waiting to see whether or not he plays. I know he made the trip Um and look he may be out there, but we do not know that yet So we're waiting to see chef. If you're recovering from an injury Tell it yep And you don't know are you hopping on and signing up for 34 hours of Airplane time instead of maybe doing recovery or rehab or something like that
Honestly, is a genuine question do do we can I know you're a super duper with what you say how you say has to be I get it. I understand you have a reputation and your career on the line with everything you say Done that feel kind of like an ipso facto Pavlov's dogs type thing here if you hop on a plane to Australia you're probably playing Listen, I think that that was up in the air going in and he's look good and he looks ready And they still made the side he's gonna play all I'm saying is I've got a couple of texts. It's not a lock yet that he's gonna play now again I don't know what's gonna happen. I won't be surprised if he's out he's a warrior like when the lights come on Are you gonna be surprised that George kiddos playing not at all not at all I just want to hear that it's official that he's but that's all I haven't heard that you that's all I'm saying Okay, I understand you're saying that you can't say I'm gonna say There's nobody get on that fucking plane. That's not playing. No, okay? Because if not they're gonna do recovery and rehabilitation and let's they're out there for a week I guess so him in both played on it. Maybe has breaking both playing. I don't know
It's not interesting. Yeah, they're playing. I think he's playing for sure If you're getting on a plane to Australia and you're trying to recover It's like waiting in the altitude the pressure the dehydration like all the things that be a real Game time decision, you know, you know, you don't even for like a cross-country flight If they were playing the giants and flying from San Francisco to New York You might be like I'll pressure the elevation the flight We don't know if we want to do that and then you multiply that by four getting to Australia. I don't know if Whatever the case if he travel over there just support the boys Matt respect Make sure that that's a real thing. You're the best chef that we appreciate you All right guys happy Labor Day Happy to celebrate if I laboring his bill Post-Shit McWars said he he looked at the mission football team one time. He said all right man Happy Labor Day and we're gonna celebrate by laboring and let's see you guys just celebrating Labor Day the right way Full policies and bro. All right. We appreciate you. That's Adam Schaefter Miss a lot of thanks-givings Christmas Years Those all just kind of disappear for a lot of football people. Mm-hmm
Hell there's pro I mean Detroit Lions coaches that have been there for a long time that not even to head coaches or whatever Oh, yeah, hey, I'm been home. Thanks. Giving ever ever they're in their hole In the stadium try to figure out how to win a damn game usually losing that game. I was gonna say lucky for those guys air Fire pretty quick. Oh, I hope you go home. Thanks. Thank you. I think it was my last season We had Hall of Fame game Okay earlier than everybody thanks-giving Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve I think is what we had so we had we hit the quadruple and I was like buck this I'm not doing this I have staring down another surgery. I'm like I'm not doing my doing is for the rest of my life I can't you know there's so many different reasons they're packing up to it. It was like we we hit all of them though Oh, yeah, and it was like uh that was like a fun little game to experience like after retirement Mm-hmm and everybody's like so jacked up. It's like oh, yeah, we do we do get to do things giving right now Nice holiday great lovely one of the best Very delicious as well. Yeah, but we would always have practice or something on those days
You know even when you're not playing you're at least in the building yeah, and uh shout it to the holiday season that's right around the corner The best holiday is that it's football season. Yeah, there you go And this past weekend was spectacular college football had their week one slate still finishing and wrapping up this evening Who's Florida state whose SMU we find out tonight is week one officially closes But they're kind of recap what happened this past weekend laser down this time for Reese's Paces from the weekend Hey Reese, I just want to let you know great work on game day You handled a lot of different chaos. That was obviously happening that people know about and don't know about It was an honor to get back into the saddle with you pal And we just hope that you would be able to tell the world what happened this past weekend from your mindset and uh And then we'll pick you apart afterwards if that's okay with you Absolutely man. It was uh, it was a great weekend a lot of fun I think it starts where we were pat in baton ruse with ls u now We wonder what's it gonna look like got Pete Thamel out of the courthouse finally and then ls u comes out there and they look like a championship contender
From the jump great defense wit weeks principle and mem me Ellen sort of dominating things there for ls u But the one question I had is greatest sam levitt look and he was outstanding running the football ran for over a hundred yards in the first half a hundred yards plus in the game Will he be able to do that and is that what ls u has to do to be able to run the ball consistently I don't know if it is it's a weapon. I know this they can extend plays They can pick up first downs when everything looks broken with him and that to me makes them look like a championship contender at the risk of overreacting the first week because Clemson might also just flat stink and it certainly looked like that at time The other championship contender that I saw on the weekend and maybe I'm just trying to make a preseason prediction come true Watching you know to dame last night I know there were a lot of newter dame people probably worried about the early part of the game and thinking back You know half of Marcus freeman's losses have come in august or september here. We go again
BDOCRA was constant team Instead noter dame took advantage of the break. They got to turn over in special teams close at half time They bided their time and when the opportunity was there They seized it with DJ McKenny getting this pick six or seeing there that really Broke Wisconsin's back finished the game and cj car put together some great drives They were like a boa constrictor. They just waited waited waited squeeze squeeze squeeze and finally Squeeze the life out of them. That's what I want to see from a championship contender I think I think the Irish are on track the slow start not worried about it in the least another slow start I don't know if I'm worried about or not you have Boise state Wisconsin now first let's start with Boise state lost by a touchdown in Austin stadium to Oregon Maybe we're all trying to get too cute about who the best team from the group of six is going to be at the end He said maybe Memphis maybe navy, you know before the Memphis UNLV games and people had UNLV Maybe it's just Boise and maybe Oregon
I don't know if there's good as we thought early on but they don't have to be right now When they've got guys like decorium more that can put on the brakes on your right at the end And then make big explosive plays which really to me that was the difference in this game It was easier for Oregon to score than it was for Boise state Not worried about Oregon yet, but I did expect a little more dominance from them than I saw I think Boise you might be as good as anybody in the group of six, but it's still a little early there Okay, then the thing I think yeah, yeah, so then yeah Okay, I'm excited for this I'm pumped about this from you because you are need you here Yeah, you are one of the authorities. I think on college sports I think you understand that positioning of who you are. I think you try to uphold that as well You're one of the representatives of all of college football and college basketball But certainly for college football you're one of the only people I get to speak to the people that are actually making decisions It's like what you say carries a lot of weight for a lot of different things and I'm excited for you to get into this You're talking Michigan right now, right?
I'm gonna talk Michigan right now Okay listen price underwood comes down that tunnel skipping I think you were with me whenever I saw that I was standing next to Desmond Howard and I go Is that 19th or quarterback right? Yeah, I go I've never seen that before from a quarterback ever in my life Have I ever seen a quarterback do that now? Was I pseudo talking shit to Desmond Howard in real time as it was happening saying wow I've never seen a quarterback to Did that prompt me to put a tweet out saying wow never seen a quarterback do this He might go what he's gonna go wild or whatever you know first drive not terrible. Okay. They didn't got in the pool Not good football anywhere. They're not good football at all Then he hits a 60 yard After regulation has ended potentially hail Mary. We don't think that's a wild afternoon in Ann Arbor Okay, just for everybody that was killing me, but nonetheless a lot of things I've never seen before with that Michigan game how it was starting how it went And then certainly the ending race can you make some sense of this all please and
Kind of give us something to think about as we go forward with how we should view this I don't know if I can make any sense of it because I don't remember Anything quite like this now. I've seen games where seconds have been added to the clock I sort of chuckled in our meeting this morning when Nick Saban talked about if we ever seen anything I immediately thought yeah, there was that whole kick six thing where you got the second at the end right before the attempt It feel goal, but it wasn't like this and I understand everybody wants to get it right now understand 18 split was out of bounds and technically the clock is over when you know when someone who's been out of bounds touches the ball But there are a couple of things here Pat one. I feel like there ought to be a natural conclusion to a play that we get to before we start splitting hairs over a clock but even bigger than that We can't have some secret synchronized clock in cameras that nobody knows about it There has to be one clock now and then present it to the television audience and in addition to that
And I think you brought this up in the meeting too Let's hear what if we're going to get down to this kind of thing and super synchronized secret strobe synced clocks I need to hear what everybody's talking about in real time when it happens So I need to hear okay, hey look they're looking at this. Let's go live to the command center for Whatever officiating bodies running the show and this is what they're looking at and why Because you know, it's one of these little things that's funny and football and I understand end of game situations are different But throughout the course of the game middle the second quarter Maybe the ball spotted here on the 28 maybe it's the 28 and a half. I don't know somewhere in there We'll put the ball down and play the next down Then we get to other times when we're trying to look at a replay to spot the ball And now we're trying to look at a replay to get a tenth of a second back on a clock when we don't even have tense on the clock We need to be more transparent than this The other thing is you can't save definitively the man it is really hard to imagine if the roles were reversed at Western Michigan
Would have gotten another swing at that. I don't know You look you can't prove that you know, and I heard you talking to chefty about you know How you want to be balanced for you say things like that? But that's the first thought that comes to a lot of ends mine. I think the Broncos would have gotten another shot at that No way no way especially What winning hands are you on the field hold up at W. Yeah, right? Winning hands are already on the field like they were celebrating it all Alumni and everybody associated with Michigan is putting out man we suck Okay, that's what they're putting out and then everybody has to delete Actually, let's delete that. We're actually undefeated So don't know how to tell you that this is not the case at all I just to your point about the transparency of the replays the XFL did it they had a guy on an Xbox Remote controller and he was directly to the ref and we watched him fast forward slow it down fast forward stop and saying Looks like he's down at about the 32 Let me look at the other angle. Yeah, we're not seeing anything that does he isn't down to 32 I think that's third down ball into 32 first down and for all of us it was like
Hey, at least we know the why here then the ACC. I think he's trying it now right don't have a little bit that happening The ACC is starting to do it. I think Friday nights maybe people love it. Yeah big fan of it I think XFL was very good because then one of you presented It's like well, they're not going to want you to hear it, you know The NFL or any of these big schools because you know if they're wrong and then it's a big deal It's like well if you're wrong there's a chance a narrative Just get started about your entire leak basically that's basically saying you screwed a smaller school to take care of one of your bigger schools It's like that's a worse narrative that can come out about you being a crooked organization So if we hear this in real time and at least it's a part of this story as opposed to a defense of the story later Maybe people could say well you heard what they said about the Bob Bob bond It's like at this point the narratives are already gone to what you said about western Michigan's never gonna get it And it's like you run this back. It's like what okay? Okay, dude This sounds like something you would say if you were trying to cook it a little bit There's just a lot of bobbles I think a lot of different bobbles and you could also make the defense
Kid western Michigan He went and jumped aside he knew he's out of bounds He saw the clock hit zero just like I want to get my hands on the ball You know he saw that in real time he would have potentially just kind of let that go So then that second ends because it hits something back there He could in theory say that like well, I saw the clock So the clock in the stadium that is Resync to the refs doesn't matter. Is that what we're hearing? Yes, kind of Yeah, they Wanted to be the same, but apparently they say they have a strobe Synced clock with all of the cameras that they have access to that May or may not be precisely synced with the television clock at least that's I can't even trust it They have clock anymore in that I don't have to know what ref says can you put 47 seconds back off on that clock? We should all say why Doesn't matter, please just give us a guess the nation. Yeah, I'm doing like soccer Just run it on the time just no Two Breaking out words like strobe synced clock you know they're just
You know what maybe maybe I should have known this and this is probably on me that I didn't yes I didn't know that there were separate Synchronizations of the clock I didn't know you know, yeah, I didn't realize that there were two different things We're working with three some 39. I don't know what age you start remembering stuff like I'm hoping my daughter She's three right now. I'm hoping she remembers everything. I know that's probably not likely there only be a couple moments So I don't know the exact age I started watching ball But I'm from Pittsburgh and my dad diehard Steelers fan. I feel like we've all been watching football for long-ass fucking time We all everybody that's ever watched ball was like oh, okay to the new clock thing. I don't think we're though Like I don't think we're forgiving society whenever it comes to this type of thing at all So they're gonna be battling against this for the rest of the season And then Michigan's got Oklahoma next week So so we're gonna find out if ball don't lie or not yeah, we are Yes, we certainly are anything that reached set in there that you have a couple questions about tone will start with you Yeah, I do I wanted to look ahead this upcoming weekend race the Ohio State and Texas what were your thoughts on those two teams this weekend? Obviously playing lesser competition both of them blue amount
You know the quarterbacks looked okay There was there was some stuff here and there but what were your thoughts on those two teams going into the huge matchup this next weekend? I thought they were biting their time for this week. They flexed some weapons Texas showed off a lot of their new weapons I know our cheddar had a tough pick, but I thought that overall they probably opened up a little bit more offense to him I mean he was really good, you know the last month or so of last season thought by and large He picked up where he left off Having cam Coleman out there and Hollywood smothers in the backfield just gonna make them terrific Ohio states as advertised, but we're not gonna really find out about Ohio states rebuilt defense I know there I know they've got great players, but Maturin into those positions and producing at least close to the level of those guys last year We'll know a lot more about that Saturday. I don't like it all what happened to arch before that game start Because you remember when the Oregon duck came running down and lost the tech oh yeah Last year, crazy see how Oregon season ended. Yeah, you're right. Okay. You saw that and it was not good Okay, that might have been all the way back to that. I don't want to blame
Said duck, but hey they made some rules to change that hopefully that doesn't happen again Do you see arch running on the field? Yeah, boom, not can't and that person just disappeared boom Boom, that's a start play B Wait, that's the worst worst stumble of the season. That's a tough one though That's a tough one. Who's gravity is a heart? No, somebody wanted to touch it I think it's chords right probably chords that he's hitting on her there because he got to make sure the smoke is good It's like anybody but arch this can happen to I think would be the sentiment. Hey, we're gonna need you to run down the middle and correct Okay, we got chords on the right side. We got some shit on the left side. We got camera people over here We got some people that are a little hands-eat too. Okay, they're gonna want to grab you a little bit because you're archman We need you in the middle of the tunnel just something about as we go first weekend It's got on our own What look you can't try stop trying to be one of the guys exactly get up front get your ass up for the boys out All right, man, camera guys a little too close Okay, well the social media people making themselves a part of the entrance is certainly something I love too
Yeah, you've worked your ass off to get in there to be but earn yourself to run out of the fucking tunnel Okay, let's uh and uh make sure every shot as You know, I get the hell we're not using it. You know, I don't I don't look sick get to the front great access Yes, but yeah, we need you know bear aren't you? You'll see Bryce underwood tripping from way up front like that He's flying around hey Desmond And I'll say is Desmond Howard. I was bewildered About how Bryce underwood played after this entrance. Why don't you be wildered as well good dry I sensed a lot of bewilderment from the from the all-may's uniforms There was bewilderment all over the big house Desmond Howard described something as bewildered and I laughed we all had a big laugh We all had a big laugh and uh, I'll say what Desmond is batting about a a thousand right now just in all aspects and I think everybody from Michigan's pretty eager to see how this team ends up doing. Yeah, we're gonna find out
I think Oklahoma might end up pooping on them, but that look that was that was terrible we will find out What terrible outing I know it's week one and they could get it rolling, but I'm very Very concerned about Bryce underwood. Okay, so then definitely not then but there has to be a team that race like somewhere Actually, I know it's very early in the season week one. We talked about our just team. We talked about my am We talked about LSU. Who is your number one team coming out of week one It's not completely finished yet, but who's your number one team right now based on what you see You mean just I'm still ranking Notre Dame number one because I think they're the best But I don't think there's much there's much doubt that the best week one performance was LSU I mean at least to me. I mean, it was a great win for Ole Miss There were some great wins For a lot of other teams even I think Oregon had a really solid win in a voice He states turns out to be really good this year, but I think the best performance if you were doing a power rating You know week to week LSU would have to be on top I think yeah, that was outrageous to watch them
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pregame and halftime show alongside Joey and Desi I'd have blast with you guys. That was a lot of fun It was a lot of fun. It was there might be a happy medium time wise the thing that's frustrating is when you get Those and they're like two minutes and you don't really get to capture the moment But I mean what what we were on for probably close to an hour It was a blast. I mean we I felt like we were just letting people experience what we were experiencing in death Valley Yeah, and thank you for hanging out in that room for six seven hours as you were literally in a holding pattern as they were getting delays Because he's supposed to do halftime first game.

Shall see SMU has been in the dance the last couple years Will they be able to continue that is they have the backing of North Dallas? I do believe is the area which is a pretty prominent part of Dallas enough Texas
I think they do have the support and obviously they potentially do have the dogs as coach Lashley has a high-powered Offence that he certainly favored as he travels down to Tallahassee It take all Florida state now Florida state with coach Norvel certainly in a Breaking point potentially got away now There's been some money talk about what his contract owes him and why they haven't potentially moved on in years past Maybe this year the Florida State breaks through and Norvel gets back to the point which he was almost making it to The national championship if he didn't have three different quarterbacks or two different quarterbacks get hurt End up on their third string So we'll certainly be fascinated by this the weekend with spectaculars storylines and abundance the NFL kicks off on Wednesday night Then we got a game on Thursday.

And turns out maybe you're not yep Osborne obviously Jason Kendall head coach new quarterback as well counting for four touchdown So speaking of Dana who trailblazed that position. We got Joey Joey Made the 53 is an undrafted free agent and then we got Osborne leading away down there dog Rinchler field joining us now ladies are gentlemen Rinchler field joint. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Hey, a lot of greats play there. Yeah, Donald Brown First round draft pick running back Indianapolis courts legend You can use to have dogs everywhere. Hopefully you'll be able to get back in it feels like there's some have and have nots in college football Yep, the average margin of victory this past weekend is I believe largest since 1994 something like that would make sense 31 or 1944. Sorry 31.7 points average margin of victory and Obviously greatest generation what's going on? I mean you got to run up the score You want to be rain tie and have a cool, you know resume It doesn't you can't just win anymore. You got to win by a lot and also when you're winning You put in maybe some backups a lot of these places that are really they have a second person
That's getting paid probably a lot of money as well Who is probably better than the other team's starters? Definitely you could almost get down into maybe third now They're talking about how teams aren't able to just stack five stars anymore because those five stars are gonna Go somewhere else to get playing time But there are certainly guys that are too deep in places that are trying to figure out whether or not they're gonna stay for the next year or not Whenever they get in their third fourth quarter. It's like this is six star guy filthy Christian Jr exactly god amp. Oh touch though. How you doing legend Bay that run it back in absurd touchdown for us Yeah legend B. I believe I saw them tweeting about him great name. Yeah, almost want to go back in time Might as also a legendary name but legend to McAfee Certainly something that we could Look to as being awesome, and let's not get crazy though here. It's fourth quarter. It's 42-3 Ball stayed at a couple first downs. It made me wonder about this Ohio State defense joining us now Ladies and gentlemen is an Ohio State legend a college football national champion Super Bowl champion Ryder Cup winner laser-jumman AJ Haw Hawker I saw a couple first downs. I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all
Was your takeaway from the Ohio State Buck guys as we the program will get into our best weekend yet Okay, potentially was I think it was AJ you'll lead us off with this entire thing your thoughts and your best weekend yet your favorite part of it Yeah, obviously I think Reese was right you know Ohio State seems to be as advertised and you're in a kind of a weird spot when you're such a huge favor Like if a team gets one first down and they make one play people freak out and think they you know Oh, what are we doing? We're not we're not what we thought we were but I think they are who we thought they were Jeremiah Smith obvious this is okay. He holds that ball on one hand like all right here We go let me catch this on my helmet and then stick it out there But all the attention that he grabs it's fun to watch this Ohio State offense I think they'll continue to get better and better but I I'd say what I'm excited about some of these young bucks on the defense man Some of these guys we have not seen play yet and getting some of their first action It'll go at number 34 right there. You see Wilder absolute fresh. I'm just he I don't think he has any stats on the stat sheet He just absolutely is a destructor like this guy
You talk about like a block destruction when they're trying to block him split and double teams Hunk moves. It's like Reggie white at times in the backfield. So guy like camp. I am very very high in him And I'd love to see him pop up on the film when he turned it on I like that New coordinator on the offensive side were able to get it done new players on the defense aside able to get it done It does feel like maybe the best part of the best weekend Yet for a day should be that the Ohio State Buck guys maybe are who we thought they were Let's continue to bounce around our favorite moments of the best weekend yet But what was your favorite part of the week? Yeah, you just mentioned new New coordinators. I'm just gonna go to same coordinator Shannon Dawson down there in Miami with new quarterback This is the third time in the road now ward back and now Daria missa going to Malachi Tony going absolutely Off against Stanford Friday night 230 plus yards three touchdowns basically rewriting the record books when it comes to the wide receiver position at the university of Miami Mensa Malachi you thought hey how long would it take to get on the same page did not take long at all
Unguarded with the way he runs these routes. They call them baby Jesus for reasons for twice right there Make guys running to each other Unbelievable one future bro hola fam right there in Malachi and then another one Ohio State Jeremiah Smith I love him kind of answering the bill because anytime Malachi does something at least it's out Florida the conversation Okay, what's your am I gonna do now? What's he gonna do? And he's his own right great player You'll be a top three or four pick next season just unbelievable start to the season as well Dominate didn't even play the second half Malachi play 51 snap I believe during my play like 36 once again dominating now you think okay top two probably guys in the bulletin call for a No, these guys are thinking about the hyzen first game Friday night boom touchdown hyzen pose once again Saturday afternoon boom Touchdown hyzen pose. Just love seeing the star guys going up both Miami guys But played at high school football brown County. So love to see that. I am very worried for both of them that the person throwing them The ball might get the credit for the touchdown the hyzen voting But I do appreciate that these two might be the best football players Yeah, in the United States of America and obviously both from where where they from uh Miami, Florida
I thought Pennsylvania Pittsburgh was gonna have the two best water Turns out we were the DBs we got reivist that we we created DBs to defend these Florida boys quarterbacks DB Okay, we'll get you small fence alarm and if you need it But it does feel as if the explosion out of South Florida is certainly benefiting both the canes were all the way back And Ohio State Malachi Tony. He's seen lately. Oh, he's on say so Ryan Paganetti Football genius football nerd. Oh, yeah, through and through you know I put out the tweet that uh, baby Jesus about to have a biblical season like this is about to be crazy because this first 20 minutes And if men's is gonna be able to play like that man I mean, this is gonna be a problem for a lot of people obviously certainly in the ACC if you pick somebody else What a decision he was on pace to have 102 touchdowns after that first quarter I mean, it's on my team. I tweet I mean you look at him and you see obviously the explosion you see the route running But the things that don't show up AJ was just talking about in the 34th Ohio State the things that don't show up on the statue Like you watch it and we were boosting the ground watch this scene last year to play off from you watching block You watch him do the other things there was a clip that came out early in the game where he was wide open down the field
Didn't get the ball thrown to him somebody else made a plan. He's still dancing to celebrate So that's kind of who this guy is behind the scenes in the locker room, but this I mean this is um, D1 guys out there looking absolutely ridiculous now. That's terrible terrible technique terrible effort by number 40 But dominates from out of Cotone. Yeah, that's the tough guy. It's gonna be like that sometime Baby Jesus on the other side and I think we're all excited that they seemingly found another trigger man You know, the way they've gone through quarterbacks down there We talk about Signetti being able to evaluate talent which we will certainly talk about here in a little bit But also crystal ball has been good at finding out who he needs for his particular system And they went through a lot to get men's out of Duke obviously Duke reigning ACC champions, right? That's right Miami has never won the ACC Okay, Miami has never been the ACC champions crazy. Okay, never want it I think they're the best team in the ACC and when I was asked to pick the ACC champion I picked you and see just because Like the ACC has chaos like the ACC does not make a lot of sense The Duke is the reigning ACC champion. I don't think people really remember that or think about that
Their quarterback is now the guy spinning at the baby Jesus right there There was a couple lawsuits. I think there was uh Holding stuff that took place. They really wanted them and it was obvious why yep I mean he he might be the best quarterback in the entire country now speaking of quarterbacks quarterbacks throw football forward Ty Schmidt what was your favorite part of the best We can yet Yeah, I mentioned this at the top of the show, but uh the Iowa Hawkeyes are all the way back And and that's what it was all offseason is hey We got two quarterbacks here both these guys might stink don't really know who you know is gonna start And then you know income's tone DS, you know You mentioned it DS is it you mentioned him on game day and a lot of Iowa fans were thinking You know this guy's got an offer for Alabama Basically every big time program wants him. What the hell is this guy committing to Iowa? What the hell is wrong with him? Does he have mental issues potentially because if you have Alabama and all these other schools coming after you Why are you going to Iowa? What are you doing? And maybe that's why right away on his first possession as a Hawkeye he has three catches for over 50 yards catches it touchdown
They haven't had a guy do that and I don't know 15 years Something like that and maybe that's what he was thinking is I can go and kind of be the change I want to see in this program But it's more than that, uh, you know you're mentioned You know Pennsylvania, you know offensive lineman offensive lineman are built in bread in Iowa and at the University of Iowa Everyone knows it. We saw it again over the weekend again Northern Illinois is not great, but boy Iowa just beat the shit out of those boys. They didn't have and nothing you know that we're talking You know they're offensive line in their run game I get it, but we also talk about Phil Parker's defense. They lost a lot of starters Northern Illinois didn't have a first down until like seven minutes left in the third quarter And it was because of you know kind of a Phantom PI call Uh, and you know special teams we saw it up there again They run they run another pump back for a touchdown Evan James just kind of another guy It's all these things that you expect from Iowa and they just continue to do them continue to do them with new people And if they have a quarterback who's just like half a worth of shit I'm not I'm not expecting a guy to go out there and win a highman. I will I wanted to raise heck all I've written yeah
Just average play you do want to raise tech Oh No, okay, what can proud do for you? I'm a Hank Brown guy. Uh, it was that heck It was great. It was great. I'm done with that. I want Hank Brown in there moving forward So I'm feeling great and you know after a weekend where the big 10 was Kind of I don't want to say lackluster they went 14 and two, but I'm coming out of that weekend thinking I was one of the best four teams in the big 10 without it now Okay, I'm excited for you. So you're saying it's a lot of stilies across the lot of stilies out there for the hawks And you know, that's that's what we expect and boy what a tree it was on Saturday I love that now you guys have a wide receiver So this amplifies it even more about not being able to have a guy they can get a ball to yeah, you know So I didn't even that touchdown you saw I mean what a cat you know Hank Brown throwing a about 12 yard slant 8,000 miles an hour as high as he can really made tone ds go up and get it for his first one So we'll see I you know there's gonna be all there's gonna be plenty of Saturdays where I'm gonna be Scream until I'm blue in the face because Hank Brown is 12 of
26 for 143 yards and a touchdown in interception That's okay because that's my that's what I've come to expect I know that's the case Yeah, but you guys are gonna have the stilies that you have we're gonna rush for 250 yards a week and if we sprinkle in Tony D I mean there's a chance this is a new year without a doubt and that's why that was your best. Yeah, I mean it was the best weekend yet Yeah, certainly was let's go into I think we're staying in the big 10. Yeah, we are tone What is your best of the weekend yet? Let's go to the rainning defending Big 10 champions. Oh, I am the rating defending national champions the Indiana Hoosiers They took on North Texas and Neil Brot this weekend You know everyone had questions about the quarterback Joshua over coming from TCU This man was beaten and bloodied after he had his helmet twisted around his neck It's down his jersey down his pants. He can barely see and he throws another touchdown to Charlie Becker That answered all the questions I had to see about Josh Hoover in this one just and I bet his teammates
Absolutely love this him taking a beating just so bloody looking like JJ what thrown the touchdown to Charlie Becker All those questions about Josh Hoover. Yeah, it was North Texas But he played a great game through a touchdown to Nick Marsh on the first drive as well I think I use gonna be just fine on offense Yeah, I think there are and you saw it sold out stadium It's amazing what football can do to an entire community entire state incredible catch incredible throw back shoulder there No coverage can stop that no matter who you're playing against if they're gonna be like that all year That's certainly gonna be problematic Charlie Becker two touchdowns two thousand dollar donation by us And also by him and I believe Joe Buck has confirmed he'll be donating as well Oh, yeah, kind of put him in a remember we publicly pressured him at joining us And then I got him one of you had a couple drinks in him and I said hey Yeah, said you're gonna donate all right could you do that and he said I'm in taxing me the other day And say there's a thousand and he said there's another thousand I think he knows so we're all pumped to kind of help out with Charlie But it does appear as if Indiana does have the capability of being able to run it back They're gonna have to figure things out coach signati said I don't really know what these guys are
We're gonna find out what these guys are we're gonna see their mental toughness We're gonna see if they're gonna be able to bounce back Hoover I saw a couple tweets head that as I had to confirm to look at it You know because the doll supervision needs to see this photo. Yeah, just blood all over him Signati's gonna love that yeah It got a it got a bigger issue I think it's not on the football field. It's on the sideline I'm not sure who and I might have been coming to you about Things got to take the ball camp ball It was oh yeah, he's got he's got he's not all can't He doesn't have to do shit He's got to do whatever the hell he he can wear a fedora on the side of it We kind of wish he would that'd be cool too. That's what we're talking about maybe for Doral be good Not a ball can't go. No. Well, he said no shade at my face. Exactly. I was getting burned up. I couldn't see anything on This week one I want to see what the guys look like I got no shade So what if it comes out I black next time instead of the cap? On the outside of the doctor hat. Okay. Let's let's continue the best weekend yet before he bounced back to the NFL
Is we are just days away from the NFL season kicking off Connor? What's the best of the weekend yet? Yeah, I mean we can stay in the big 10 and unfortunately we're gonna go to Rutgers because we mentioned the margin of victories being huge And one of the teams I contributed to that was you mass. They were about 20 point dogs William pop wats in the third play like William Wallace the third He led the UMass Miniman all the way to victory and it wasn't just him that is High school teammate of his Joseph Griffin the pride of Springfield Central I mean it was just remarkable this started the weekend off by the way. This is on Thursday night. So it's hard to remember All the amazing things that happened from then to now But watching the UMass Miniman when a football game on the road against a big 10 team was just pure joy Elation we are not that far away from last year where they were down 45 to nothing hit a field goal And then set off fireworks at home And now not just one season later pop wats in the third is leading these boys on the road to a victory against a big 10 school
The zoo UMass was probably ballistic I'm not so sure that you in game day and all the boys are gonna be visiting UMass Maybe week eight when there's seven and no playing some other school and it would be pure madness I'm hoping that's what happens. I don't know how many UMass games when we catch in this year Just on a week to week basis, but pop wats in the third is electrifying just to get his stat line out there 19 to 22 197 yards three tuts 40 yush rush yards like he is a legitimate ball player He might be either in the NFL next year or the quarterback of your favorite team because he was a stud for that entire game And I just can't believe the UMass Miniman ended up winning a game against a big 10 opponent in week one great Gianno Debo Sweeney both staples at their places. Yeah, what's going on bit long in the tooth? You see potentially potentially the longest of them all yeah, yeah around there especially with the way it started But it's just open and weak nobody knows You want to know what I know what's that punters doing it. Yeah, punters doing it. Let's go to West Virginia. Shall we?
Okay, this guy is an absolute lad his name is Brian Hansen. Okay. No relation to any of the other Hansen That you potentially just thought of right there obviously the balls being snapped from their own 15 16 Absolute nuke coast Carolina kid can't catch it rolls all the down sick gets a big time save down at the one How you doing keeping moving that end up being a huge deal now The coast Carolina shant clears will go on a 99 yard Touchdown scoring drive for this one, but a lot of clock was eating up Yeah, nobody was happy about that, but a lot of clock was eating up obviously That's covered so shout out So it's 24 nothing half time. Let's not ask you the first three four star freshmen out of the whip you incredible Punt here by Brian Hansen proud of them actually getting a bomb off there West Virginia tough place to punt and kick it is breezy there early in the season took advantage of it Now let's go to Oregon shall we Oregon punter Bailey etridge. Okay. I believe Bailey et ridges his name It's a beauty here turns this thing over. It's in the sun. It's not in the sun
Let me go ahead and check this thing operate the half yard line wonderful special team special teams can bite you in the ass opening week Or it can be of an asset if it's an asset you're probably gonna win the games if it's an ass Uh As whole you know lose the games here, okay, and that's certainly something can happen early special teams always tough to get on the same page And then obviously the punt from last night that is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in the whole man Absolutely Sean West 69 70 yard Absolute bomb now. I saw some people saying he actually hit that thing a lot longer because where he actually kicked the ball I agree they tracked the stats from line of scrimmage It's a nice golf swing because the checkup was righteous Sean West absolute thing a beauty pal love the way he took two steps and a foul style punt and obviously the returner Who's probably gonna be in the NFL potentially in the NFL? Notre Dame's returner couldn't even handle it. So this is the thing a beauty helps out your team Obviously the second half would go how the second half one But Wisconsin was rolling and that was the thing a beauty that had everybody talking
And I can't wait to watch him and the rest of the guys the rest of the year because you know There's an award for a best punner in the country and one of these guys going in it. Mm-hmm. It's right And also feels like punners are better than they've ever been right now Have we kind of come back to the I guess American puns out because I'm Went for a while there was yeah, we're not doing the running day. I just right now. Yeah, I like it all three Oh Louis was Louisville doing the rollout? Who shot it over someone's head last night. It was Louisville Yeah, Louisville they were doing the rollout. Yeah, but it does feel like we had a little is that come back? Yeah, well, what's the purpose of having it? Okay, so now I don't want to count it. I like what we're doing. Uh-huh But what let's take some time here. There was also a couple of these guys take snap wait wait wait wait Somebody gets there and then they kick it. There's still a little bit of that But yeah, the complete run to the side seemingly stopped. No, not as much of it. I feel like every 90% of the team doing it at some point. Yeah, yeah, I even did it I've never been Australia one time I get a need you to learn how to kind of hit that thing on the road. Sure first time I did it
Live action. Thank you sir. I'm using him somebody of them day game little rainy. I run to my rights my first time punting in a game Another game punny to I did punny plum. Yeah My senior year of plum so it was like first time punny long time boom catch it run to my right first I'm definitely ever doing this hit this thing just trying to get on the ground bounce right on my ass I'm gonna just pull back. Well speaking. Oh, I saw your highlights. It's a weekend two sports center. Hey Thank you for getting it. I was there. I saw a lot of people saying this guy played that's crazy People think I talked away. I'm talking that just never played seriously. I mean you mean you're doing something right? I guess I hope or Not doing it right at all, you know, people Joining his that was a man who played a long time Nobody gives him credit for it. He was on a cover of Playboy magazine That's right. Whenever he was in college as one of the greatest college quarterbacks all time Ladies and gentlemen full trailblazer for the Yukon Huskies in the state of Connecticut as a whole We know a lot about him. Yeah, is the gentleman the face of ESPN coverage
This guy's gonna be everywhere they say about me. Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Daniel loves him. Yeah Dan Oh, what up man What's going on? How are you guys? What's going on? It was the cover of Playboy. Is that right? Do I have that right? Maxim Okay, that's that time. I mean that was crazy. I'll tell you what Dan Oh Being able to be on the cover of East Bay too wasn't on the cover of East Bay. Yeah, Dan Maxum And with a little dabble of Playboy as an all-American in there you got good range Let's talk about some of your range We'll obviously dive into the NFL in a matter of moments But this Michigan thing fascinating. I just I think our platform Should be utilized from football people saying they've never seen this before and they all think it's crazy as we move forward Do you want to kind of check that box on our show saying that you think it's absurd what happened and how did it happen or how do you view the whole Extra second on the clock situation? Yeah, it's probably the most embarrassing win. I've ever seen in college football. I know that I have Yes, we do you have
You have your chance to do that. Have your chance to do that. I'll be right. I hear's my thing. I'm in my As a viewer I have no skin in the game Supposed to just trust that that clock is synced up with the actual play like I'm just supposed to trust it Even though the game clock that I'm watching also I can't see the ball I don't I can't see the ball from that back angle So with all due respect to the big 10 because I can see the ball in the this angle I can't see the ball So I don't know exactly when the player touches it. I can make the guests and the assumption is it air I have no idea what Foxy But you go from the other angle the ball when the ball is going towards the defender and you can see clearly That the clock is zero before Not this angle not this angle Foxy you go to the one where you see From the field perspective essentially you see the defender go up You see the ball the clock clearly is at zero before it touches the defender at that angle
So I don't know like how I'm supposed to just Believed that the reverse angle is the reverse angle like the clock clearly it's zero before he touches it there You slow it down even more we did it on so I don't I don't get it Yeah, none of us understand it and we've been watching ball a long time and now we're being told about a different clock It's like well, so does any clock matter and then why is the ref going off that clock then ever Yeah, right So like then that clock should mean nothing to the ref ever right we should be going off the actual clock Like well that one syncs up with the actual clock It's like but it doesn't though because we just found out and then look where the ball on this angle This is the one Foxy. No, that's the game winner. Yeah, the first one look at the look at where the um The ball goes with the defender on this one. It's not like he goes in you know touches it at its highest point It's basically waste before he touches it. So that's why that reverse angle. It's like I have no idea what the ball is and you're trying to tell me a tenth of a second matters here Yeah, I think we all feel that same way and then Reese Davis said you think western Michigan's getting that extra tenth of a second back on the clock
If it's on that reverse and it's like well, that's immediately what everybody thinks so that's gonna be a little bit of a Feels like a cloud western Michigan did come out after they saw the angle with the clock and a tenth of a second and a super duper clock This is a real clock you guys don't have this clock. You're the Mac with big 10 we have real clocks around here It's like is anybody else have this clock and we need to know about this for any other leagues or conferences or Is the xfl using this who all who all has the super duper secret clocks and it fell better And when do we get to know about them and how if they work or not? We just trust that the one we're looking at in real time. Yeah, I want either do the refs have somebody in their ear saying super duper clocks Two seconds often then they have to read is that when they have to recalibrate the clock You're like how am I supposed to know when he pushes the bull? Yeah, none of us there Dan. Let's move along Let's talk about football shall we Matthew Stafford obviously down in Australia taking on Brock Purdy down in Australia We haven't really chitchat about much about you know how this affects the offense how this affects the game the travel and when they travel and how they travel Can you just Who cares playing should we just expect prime time pro bowl Matthew Stafford week one there MVP Matthew Stafford week one or is there a rollout process that has to happen for every single team
No, I think that you expect this offense to kind of pick up where it was last year this offensive line is intact The perimeter players are healthy both backs are healthy and Matthew Obviously has had a healthy offseason in comparison the last year. So yeah, I fully expect this offense To play the way we were accustomed to it now San Francisco obviously a very good defense and very talented defense We'll see what bosses like coming back from the injury Michael Williams his impact on their defense Fred Warner being back But yeah, I expect this Rams offense they kind of click on all cylinders the travel thing I can't tell you whether that'll impact them or not. I know this I've you guys probably have as well I've gone to London a couple times. I'm not saying they're the same I remember a time we went to London. We were playing the chiefs So this is probably 2015 maybe maybe 16 and we went out there I was with Detroit. This was our third or fourth time going out there We went out there five or six days before did the whole get him a getting a custom two thing we stayed
blah blah blah all that the chiefs flew in and landed Sometime like Saturday night At like six they did a walk through at Wembley and I was thinking to myself We're gonna destroy them to my morning. They just flew over here. They have no shot They beat us like 45 to 10. It was an absolute beatdown and they were they were significantly crisper than us So you know my brain at that moment was like oh our travel advantage is you know big and that was the alternative I don't know how much it'll impact your not impact at no clue You talk about the London trips there isn't a hundred percent science or either because then there will be another team that travels out there earlier They got a they'd played well, so it's like yeah, I don't know if there is a right answer All I do know is coming back you still have 16 more games So coming back I think is what everybody is probably more worried about them Maybe just one game here to lead this whole thing off But what should we expect from Brock party in the offense? Nobody really talks about that shifter said he can't put his name in reputation
On the line and say the George Kittles point said I can't say that it's like well he flew to Australia Okay, if he was worried about recovery or rehab maybe hey, what's up lad? What's up lad? Who's behind you right there? There's a boy. There's a boy behind you other side other side. That's the that's the goat. That's madden Madden what oh I took a shirt to madden mr. Patsy to law Hello mr. Madden he said hey Oh, yeah, man you're doing good mr. Madden. What are you looking for bro? Yeah, what's going on? What do we got going on man? A father who's around maybe She's Well You're gonna take a shot at me there as well. We don't need to do it. We too I love you What are you saying is you don't pay attention to your kids and I know you do okay? So we know you do but uh Certainly an angle that could be had is As we had to football season here obviously all you know trying to do we're trying to do okay
Let's get to San Francisco 49ers We haven't really heard much about the offense. We talked to Brock party about his John deer partnership Yep, okay, which is obviously a huge deal that deer isn't being stamped on anybody Brock party now considered a vet and a league I think all the questions about whether or not he's gonna be able to make it even whenever he was playing good If it kind of been answered what should we expect from this particular offense debos back over there? We assume kiddles can play Yeah, purgis is stud let's live in the world will kiddo live in the world where kiddo plays obviously kiddles their go-to guy The guy that you guys are watching Stribling is an absolute stud I remember watching him in the college football playoff last year I think it was was it the Georgia game that he was just absolutely dominant in and just going This Stribling guy is phenomenal. I mean just the way he plugs the football the strength that he plays when He's got a little watching them in San Francisco and maybe it's the number There's a little crab tree to him in regards to just the strength that he plays with So I think he's gonna be their go-to wide receiver pass catcher remember Ricky Purcell no
Jennings is gone. So he's kind of their go-to pass catcher I would say I think Debo and McCaffrey still gonna be a bunch of touches guys The big question mark for me and maybe isn't gonna be the biggest answer Week one against if Donald plays this defensive line They really have to get back to running the football better in San Francisco that offense aligned for years had been a strength I would tell you had become a weakness over the last two seasons. It was a little bit better last year than it was in 24 I would also tell you Kyle always always does a good job against the Rams because they know each other so well So there might be people going into this game thinking one sided, you know question marks health wise for the 49ers Rams are loaded. I don't brought by to that kind thing college in and it's too good of a coach Okay, that's Thursday 820 on Netflix live from the Melbourne cricket grounds at home of the Cullingwood Magbys You see the boys walked into yeah the other night got a chance to experience it I thought a chance to go to one of those games an Aussie rules football game has a soccer atmosphere
You know because it's a lot of passive stuff and then there's body a lot of beers I mean a lot of beers I forget the name of the beer that I was drinking down But I know fosters maybe is a duster's I'll show you for Bay. I don't think they're drinking it. They don't mess with floss. Yeah, I don't think they're drinking that day And I think that's for uh, I think that's for the Americans did you say oh, I've been down on day You know, it's so far away. They thought nobody would ever find out I don't I don't think it is getting dry. I'm not where I was at at least in Brisbane But yeah, the lads got a chance to experience it that the Melbourne cricket grounds gigantic a lot of investment And I think it's going to provide a great environment for American football Yeah, now I am worried about how wide and big the field is or the guys gonna be like are the fans too far away almost I don't know how they're gonna feel like a baseball like we're in college and exactly like an awkwardly placed game You know and like when a hockey plays inside of a stadium how there's a lot of space between the crowd I'll be intrigued to see what that spacing looks like, but it should be
Electrifying 820 on Thursday now when is the night is when the season kicks off with the Super Bowl champs Go ahead con man. Yeah, Dan. I know you think the Patriots are gonna go 98 or 10 and 7 and the bills are gonna win the division But it all starts on Wednesday and they can kind of flip that narrative around how do you see? You know Wednesday night going I know for the Seahawks they have first time OC and play caller Brian Flurry nobody yeah, he seems to know anything about this guy So that'll be interesting to see what are kind of the biggest things you're looking at on both sides of the ball for a new England Anciadil as they both start their new campaigns back to the Super Bowl Yeah, number one does Gonzalez play I would assume he does and chef. He might know more But I would assume he does and if he does because in Let's say they do not get a contract done by Wednesday I think the number one thing I'm doing if I'm Seattle offensively is how much are you willing to tackle on the perimeter Knowing you haven't gotten your money yet and because I grew up with a coach that
um Subscribe to the philosophy that if you were playing against a premier cover corner The first thing you do to start those games is see how much that cover corner wants to tackle So I'm taking that same philosophy. We used to do this with like Antonio Cromarty all the time great corner How much do you want to tackle today and so how many different ways can we kick screens out there and have a tackle go to block him How many different ways can we go crack toss And so I think that's something to pay attention to in this game Uh, number one is how Seattle treats him I think the second thing Connor and I would say Going back I watched a room went last week and rewatched the Super Bowl We probably didn't Give enough credit that defense in New England that game was sensational And it got overshadowed by how good Seattle's defense was in that game But you watch that game you're like my goodness New England's defense was sensational man And they flew to the football they gave up obviously those two big runs versus some Motion look that was a little bit different but that they were great man
And so I fully expect this defense to play a similar style I'm with you on flurry. I it's something I've talked about all offseason He's been around football a long time. He's been around the shenanin trio long time never called place And you're replacing a guy that got the head coaching job for the organization who had the number one Pick looking for quarterback because he was so good at calling plays I just don't think that happens like that and so I think there's big question marks for Seattle's offense in regards to that Um, and I like I like that this I haven't picked made a pick yet But I absolutely could see New England going out there and win in this football game It's interesting because Sam donor with koc great kubiak great new OC we shall see right like well Sam don't as we assume that he's Incredible D. But has something yeah, not a new OC Josh with danes was one of ton of super boy has ton of success How does how do you think this Patriots offense looks with a jbr As soon as that sign it was made you instantly compared them to gromp and those matchups
It doesn't make danes kind of came out and said the same thing So how do you envision this offense working with the addition a jbr Yeah, I want to get your perspective on this again rewatching the soup one We're going to touch on this a little bit with live and some tape so one of the things that You I saw in that game and the super bowl was um The pressures the blitzes that witherspoon and and all those sacks are coming from a lot of them came from the field And so they would blitz the field debut And then they would kind of shade to the boundary so they would play some tight coverage to the boundary receiver And that safety would shade it was a lot of times it was case on booty shade towards that side And so you're pressuring from the field You're almost double teaming back side which is a lot of times the easier throw for the quarterback get the bottom My hands shorter throw and so I'm interested to see If that is something see out of those again like this new England put a j to the field And so that gives him a because if you're going to shade back side to a Romeo dobs Can a j win to the field a ton versus some one-on-one coverage with maybe not as much help
So I think that'll be interesting for me the number one thing I'll look for from a new England perspective Is where they're putting a j and maybe some of those pressure situations to see how see out of defensively racks How would you do it? I mean, I mean that's kind of been always make Daniel super are you say how would I do it defensively or from offense? defensively yeah, well like yeah exactly Defensively you got it you got to take away a j one First and foremost and whether that's put my the highest paid corner in the league on them and having been good and living with that matchup or Doubling the old school bellicic double a j and then you know put a one-on-one away So that's that's how I would do it, but you got to take away a j You got to make Romeo beat you you got to make hunter Henry beat you and then without the Henderson I don't expect him to be out there You got to make the other backs beat you as well when it comes to coverage and those matches But you have to have to take away a j upra he's an absolute game record and coming into that game You got to come in and say hey, we can't let this guy beat us. I love that we're starting to season with a super bowl Reman so many question marks and I appreciated your take on how we should maybe see how gonzo
How gonzo is feeling about being a new England Patriot right now? Set hot. Yeah, we're running right outside bro. We're running way outside Way out there, bro. You're going fucking straight out. No upset. Yep. How much you want to tackle? Go ahead Bobby's playing Yeah, big pitch out there. Let's just go actually then we run what's that called bucket when you run uh or When you have all the on screen mod what's it called We're when like the offensive lineman are pulling yet. No, when the offensive lineman are lined up out there It's like on a model. Yeah, like diamond or model. Hello set. Yeah Let's see if this guy was because he is an active participant when it comes to tackling Yeah, he's always been unbelievable and everything like that like he will come up and hold like the wood Whenever it needs to be done, but it is a question, you know, I that's a real thing that I didn't really consider dance Yeah, so dance that it I was like oh my god. This is how this carries into actual football here now, you know, this kind of Hey him is money damn it. I'd be flurry
Adjust the gameplay right now. Yeah, that's how that's how we used to do it would like You know, we used to play against Revis Yeah, it's from Arty. Yeah, be like all right here A lot of times who would be the offensive lineman going out first like we would like send perimeter screens out Attack will go and be like all right Can buy really good Gonzo's gonna show up Go is gonna show up and he's got and he's always been pretty adamant like hey Every single day you're just mentioned be where your feet are he is in it every single day And that's been his answer to everything and also they have added some really really good pieces on defense Kevin bired hopefully he can fill that hole, but just pay that man his money He deserves 130 whatever millions That he wants to have just give it to him. Do you guys have that do you have it available? Well, we have a quarterback who's getting paid like the eighth least amount in the entire league Because he's still on his rookie contract and he's getting paid a ton of money probably coming up soon here So yeah, we have the money to pay him so just freaking do it already par
Okay, those are the opening two nights of the NFL season We can't wait to watch for thankful. It's here obviously college football has done a great job But storyline still kind of bringing it It was announced that to will be the starting quarterback for Atlanta. AJ has a question about that Yeah, Dan obviously to his traveling to Pittsburgh to take on the steers I guess what are your expectations from to how long do you think he is in the lineup and I guess yeah What would you do if you are decordinated playing against to Yeah, I would play everything short to deep If you watched to a last year and then certainly in the preseason The balls coming out quickly and there's not a willingness to push the ball down field that much I think part of it is just because there's a reality and I have been a two-ass supporter and I love him But these hits and these injuries add up, you know, and so We've seen some older quarterbacks get to the point where they never want to get touched I get it. I think two is probably in that world right now. So no Patrick Graham was the defensive coordinator for the paedalers He's a guy that has kind of played defense in so many different styles. He's been a zone guy
He's been an aggressive guy. He's been a match guy So there's a little bit of trying to figure out exactly who who be in Pittsburgh with their personnel from a you know How they'll attack Atlantis offensive group, but I think it's this was the inevitable I would tell you this is probably feels like it's a week-to-week thing until Michael Penex fully It fully says yes, I can I can go out there and play a football game on that knee And if two was playing well enough, you'll keep the job And if he's not the job will go to Michael Penex. I've been adamant. I don't Either of these guys as to play so far above their skis to be Part of the conversation of the future in Atlanta that um, you know I think it's more than likely we see at least both of them in Atlanta and we'll see kind of who can do the most with the opportunity Two well starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons I guess this puts the bed the final quarterback Competition I was taking place Cooper Kush Cooper rush will be the backup quarterback Penex. We assume third
Jack strand lingering obviously down there. Yeah, obviously It's been six different quarterbacks and six different seasons for the Atlanta Falcons obviously looking for some stability The other quarterback competition of the offseason that garnered a lot of headlines and conversation Kyler Murray starting quarterback of the Vikings. Where do you sit right now with this because it was loud at the time And then you know who knows who ends up where but Kyler Murray being named starting quarterback for the minister of Vikings Where do you sit as we're just days away from getting to watch that for the first time? Yeah, if Kyler is able to put some consistent to consistency together that resembled the start of his 2024 season the Vikings are contenders to win the division They're that good of a football team. They're three deep at wide receiver Hawkinsons is stud. I've said this. I believe this is the easiest place to play quarterback in the NFC Outside of Los Angeles Rams because of those pieces. I mentioned the play caller the run game Forrest's defense will be great here since Smith. I heard you guys talking about before somehow still playing football and probably playing at high level dude, so good at ball
My question mark with Kyler. I've kind of talked about this is how Much Kyler's willing to allow This scheme to be the star and not him to be the playmaker. He's obviously going to make plays at times But this scheme is built upon just allow the play design to get the guy open I'll get him open you know why I'm getting him open cut it loose and how much they can build some of those throwing lanes in You can't run an offense that wants to attack the middle of the field Okay, let me I'll say it this way. Yeah, please say it say it this way Okay, when you have an offense that is I play action past centric offense and it's predicated upon the run and that run action looking similar You have to be able to work the middle of the field in the past game you have to have the people you have to have the quarterback You have to have the protection and so if if you are going to have that be your foundational part throwing the ball to just a perimeter is not real life It that those two things do not exist at the same time and so I think how comfortable
O'Connor gets with building some passing lanes in in that play action past world Alcomfortable Kyler gets seeing it and it's a little bit in the pretty world. Perdi's got the capability of it because of the touch he has on his throws rock and throw to guys before they're there He throws the blind spots Kyler doesn't have a hun in his game of throwing blind throwing the blind spots And that's something that just takes a ton of comfort level. We've talked about it. It would stride You know when you're throwing the ball of the middle of the field Your margin for errors small because I say it. It's picked. I'm low. It's picked outside I can sail it. It's incomplete. Low. It's incomplete. And so how comfortable Kyler gets with that and how well they can build some Vision or throwing lanes in I think is really the biggest question mark Tyler and Kevin O'Connor Operating in offense as opposed to star operating plays And Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams right are we all kind of watching the same thing here? Caleb Williams is able to win games for him at the end just because he's Caleb Williams
He's so talented. Is he gonna to your the way you described it? Well Caleb let the offense be the star and then him be the operator of it because that's what Jared Gough was in the Ben Johnson offense And we saw maybe the best offense in all of ball Ben Johnson was hired to be the head coach because of how great he was at offense Everybody wanted to hire him as a head coach because of that So if we can see Caleb Williams get into that offense We can assume potential record breaking numbers like he said we would like to be the high scoring offense in history That would be the offense taking lead there right and Caleb just kind of being the The choo choo conductor of that entire thing 100% you know and that's I've said this with Caleb It's it is a fine line with these guys because you never want to Get them to be statue just pocket quarterbacks that aren't creative And so you never want to take that stinger away from them But there is a rhythm to the offense and a lot of times You can Fall in love with some of the splash plays and think they're going to be sustainable and you know You're the own you're the Patrick Mahomes of the world because Patrick did it
But it's a different game than when Patrick was doing it as well Five six years ago and I think some of the things that gets lost in it is when we're talking about the timing and rhythm of the play It's not just the quarterback There's a timing and rhythm of it for the offensive line the offensive line Those there's a very specific place the quarterback is going to throw the football from so like they know that where they can get beat and where they can't get beat When should they expect the ball to the quarterback's hands The spacing of the routes if I'm starting frontside with the route the spacing of those backside concepts and how the timing of that matters if a receiver gets If he's supposed to be 18 yards on the in route backside and you the quarterback Are still on the front side and he's crossing the field at 18 yards already Well, we've lost the timing in the in the spacing of the play. So You know, I think that there's that those are all things when we talk about like timing and rhythm It's not just about quarterback and only throw a lot of phenomenal offensive systems in that mc north and if Chicago
Just keeps going away. It's going run games. It might be what's up? You got to have the run bin Johnson He has like his run game design. It's crazy and Mary and that up with the past because Then just kind of mention defenses has changed the defenses have become more patient They've kind of become more dynamic as well So to kind of throw you off that rhythm or get you kind of more early into that second reaction playing Yeah, you can run a whole you know, be roll of highlights run But it'll also be a be roll of turnovers or big time plays. It's kind of just ruined games So the more you can stand at sister but once again with collar and Caleb You don't want to take away that sting. It's the reason why these guys know one overall picks They have the arm town they have to believe with their legs. So it is kind of like a you know finding that perfect balance where you know Getting yourself in position to win ball game man the nmc north could be explosive. Oh yeah I mean there is a lot of great offensive minds up there if you count mcdc as well because oh yeah Definitely And I would like to let you know that like
If Chicago becomes the sports town again That could be tough for the rest of the United States for America to have to kind of deal with Caleb's out there with Chicago Bulls PC8 they're there for the next 15 years right? Oh, yeah, I mean, I mean this is a long time But eventually if a lot of success things absolutely love this is a great one This is why I like the tyris howl Burton charity Softball game because it was like Daniel Jones is out there tyrisse was out there Kelsey Mitchell was out there It's like the entire city coming together for something I was here he was tyris here for this one He threw a great pitch. Yes, he did he was wearing his Michael Jackson loafers out there And he he went from the mount pitching shoes you could wear he went from the mount and he delivered that thing And I think he was pretty pumped up about that he should be yeah, especially with the entire storyline about the brewers Yeah, how that whole thing went down I guess he was supposed to do it that he was rescinded got the loafers with the two This is the most i wish Oliver and look I've ever seen and he throws a little bit high But I think the better switting at that a strike So shout the tyris doing that the cubs are kind of the fun The fun bunch to follow along with yeah, five of the doubter in this bca character
Yeah, right dude 40 homers. Yeah, is he mbp? Yeah, he has 40 and 30 I think it's first time obviously in cubs history or something like that But it's like the shit that's happening every every night He's just doing something that like is a once a week type highlight He's doing it every single night somewhere the ball is a magnet to him somehow He's just making place in what we need to fill that space then I don't understand this Yeah, the LLD wall is there a gap right there between the LAD and the wall Home filled advantage one you also got to remember that extra strip right there from our understanding of LAD prices That's maybe about for 750 We might have literally ran out of the budget there Which is hope nobody went up directly in there. Oh, maybe the MVP will a special to watch and then can the cubs are in NL or a LNL come on anybody who would be the contender for MVP up against him? Show me that's honey, but that's done. He's not he hasn't played like two weeks. So PCA is gonna be the NVP I think and then who's the a L MVP favorite? Probably you're on it you're on Alvarez Dominic he's
You're done Alvarez minus 5,000 junior Kamenero plus 1400 Bobby Wolt Jr. plus 7500 here is Peter Lonso the polar bear he's in started to rake a bit lately. He's an MVP conversations. It's 2026 now let's go Bring it on the list. I mean, yeah, but it's not given an MVP day, you know 500 team. He just can't do that Yo tie outcome doesn't shoreboard have like 500 home runs. Yeah He had a bunch early and then he kind of cool dot PCA is having just that he's having a ridiculous season And what he does in the field too that I mean they don't really give a shit about that But like he's he's on he's on channel. He's having a historic season. Yeah, almost like Cal Raleigh was having last year Yeah, how's he doing this year? He's coming on he's been coming on. He's like, you know 20 of his last like 28 and you know it raises average from the 143 to 161 Hey, I did not want this guy to win the MVP last year even he was doing all this historic stuff One because judgy was involved, but also tie was like can't just have like
one year good year rest of career bad MVP winners. Well, yeah, the basically the same stats as judge and judge has badding averages 90 points higher that was kind of my point of contention But also you didn't like the one hit wonder potential possibility here for an MVP award No, my big thing was people were starting to put him in the same category as judge and I said well, you know Judge has done it for about a decade in a row So I'd like to see this guy do it, you know again next year because for his career he's about a 220 hitter So I'd like to see him replicate it and he had the worst drop off in the history of baseball But he's bounce back. Yeah, he's bounce back a little bit first 94 games. He batted 156 holy shit two seven three two nine and then which I certainly know what all three of those numbers are And then the last 13 games he's batting 320. Well, that's a pretty good disparity And you know 94 games 13 games, you know You you you pay this guy a bunch of money you expect him to kind of be a driving force. They went to the aLC Good two weeks though. Yeah great two weeks even though you're not gonna make the playoffs and you know
You kind of tank the whole season I like how rolly You should have tapped up his boy at the world baseball Your baseball got that. Oh, oh, you're pulling for America. Sorry That's why Okay, that's world baseball classic fodder for sure Cal rolly we appreciate everything you did for sport last year in for our show. Thank you, dude But tie was tie was pretty excited to see him not play good after I would say he was judgey you were I wouldn't say I you were pretty judgey about Cal rolly being judge I think I was I think I was more patting myself on the back like okay Yeah, I actually I do know ball a little bit when it comes to baseball Talking about Aaron judge the greatest right-hand hitter of all time in Cal rolly has one good year number saying This guy's the best player ever said let's pump the brakes Let's pump the brakes a little bit. He had a great year. Let's see him do it again next year and You know we saw what he did 13 games though these
Speaking of knowing ball it is nice college game days back You know, got a lot of people tell me in real time. I don't know ball for the things I'm saying And then all of a sudden as the day rolls on it's like hold the phone now hold the phone Maybe we have a great game day Yeah, I believe I mean great game if that's how it's going to be every single week first of all shout out to all of us Diving in a college football a lot more, you know because of everything tone research unbelievable that you're you're providing all of us And to me, but that was fun to get back in there and just take the heat again, you know you pick against a team It's like I got this very very very upset and it's like I gotta remember that whenever I'm talking that I I like both teams But I am I am picking one to beat the other with no clue what's gonna actually happen That's an interesting predicament to be back in I enjoyed it same for you Danotes football season again Thank you swings man. Take your swings hop in take your strings gotta hop in there I'm out lady Wilson coming on the show in station might have fancied some of the music. Hey, how about that Blake Shelton Laney some other people

We're all living our dreams obviously in real time No matter how often it happens and doesn't happen or there's people they think you know I hate seeing the sky everywhere and there's people think I'm gonna die It's like man the energy I got from football happening is just a completely different level We are so thankful and lucky to be in the middle of football season and to cover it the way that we do That's Dan or Lovsky That's a J Hawk when we back tomorrow here on ESPN.

Let's not move along anymore. What's up right here? Okay? Sup right here. So it's only match play. They don't keep score. Okay, uh, you're just playing against somebody I want this whole you want this whole that is and you get to add every hole declare Like there's there's teas, but there's no tea markers So you could put the ball down on the t-box and you say we're playing this as a part three from three hundred and forty arts Love that okay, so you're kind of picking and choosing what you want to compete against. Okay, let's do this We're all doing the same thing that is awesome and then you pick your head up from put your tea down King of the fucking jungles right here is that is that that's what's happening?
I'll leash how do I because we got a couple of them around Indiana. I think still Is that a Ziraya? All right, baby Rana right there. Okay, that's cool giraffe Is there what is it yeah, I'm seeing Yeah, the giraffe thing is interesting because if I'm correct they have like sporadically placed out on the property I believe like 50 foot tall metal poles Because of the weather and the thunderstorms that come through they needed things higher than the giraffe That when the lightning comes it grabs the pole and not the draft Looking out for the drafts Yeah, yeah, I mean, I've seen videos of somebody just sitting down on a ground getting yeah, there's a lot of the stuff Some guy this weekend. Yeah, yeah, let's go on the street. Yeah, yep, so let's go to the rest of the weekend in the hospital.

It's right big brain there as well Sure so many ideas 13 years of him right? Yeah, I really can years blue created blue Like came up with the concept yeah pitched sure blue now Trickshot artist was there no mascot before blue none. Yeah blue came really life was better than Yeah, it's not you say that you that's actually wrong And you talked about stealing McBean That's what you're talking about he's not real either Stealing McBean came into Pittsburgh at a time where Pittsburgh what yeah, right. Fuck this guy Like no, we got a mascot now. It's like no, we don't I think we could throw him a bridge to be on Was blue the no Stealing McBean still around now. I'm pretty sure we threw him off a bridge
No, he came into the suite when we went to that Steelers that that duck started here he is It's part of that stealing McBean That's a car I don't know if I've ever seen that guy me Well, you talk about you never seen stealing McBean. No, it's great mascot. No, he's not jacks him devil No, he always carrying those beams around He is he doesn't have a very large game day presence I will say that they kind of keep him in the back somebody pitched Stealing McBean and the Steelers having a mascot then It was passed somehow and then it does feel like a lot of people that are probably within the Steelers organization are like Everybody we surround ourselves away from this building have told us that they're pissed that there's a fucking mascot for the Pittsburgh Steelers So it's hide this guy. Yeah, okay. We got him, but with hiding He's out there doing it though. He can do corporate events and bullshit like that, but he's not there on came day I think they're actually having him do the The blessed water gimmick. Oh, that's father McLean a hard
I'll steal his brother Have the coach one of the division says blues, but he should do yeah blues been to a couple good times. No that It's been longer than 12 years. It's been longer than that He was not a part of it. Yeah, long time t-shirt, okay? For sure. Yeah, well, I get have he has he won it. Yes I don't think so if you just do the quick math. He's longer than 12 years. I gave the wrong number. He was around six Yeah, okay, but I want a super black for the RC. Yeah, yeah, he ages well blue. Oh crap. His name blue. I mean let's get a little more creative What are we doing Jesus dude? Why do you want you to only create it the character? Yeah, he'd call him boy blue or white Hey, we got two options at it. What do we do? I can't call him white I don't know Indiana we would call him by can't do that either I guess that's what he invented. He is a cream pie or now. I will say he's cream pie and whoa Yeah, on game pie to the face cream pie In public get them all cream pie in public anybody can get it did one preseason game
People just walk and stand in there like this and then somehow I guess you have a good aura whenever you're about to get cream pie Because everybody kind of flinches right beforehand and then boom he gets him and it never moved. No He's so good at he's staking. Yeah, he's sneaky. Sneaky blow What do you want him to recall AJ you have any names? I don't know. I mean, stealing what stealing Mcbeam eat like something like that something a little There's no one in Blue has like 245 appearances a year. Yeah, okay. He dominates every single one Steely Mcbeam should be taken from blue Not the other way around stately said. I guess that was a little easy Well, now it's still in the full-time job at the mill and then on Sundays he goes down to the field and represents for this guy He might be able to get an intercept. Thank you. Oh, geez. That's a big. Yes. That's who he is He's super-yenser Steely stealing the big mic can bring him back for sure big mics bring him back What if they have first question big mic
That's what I'm saying is they do have a they have a towel a terrible towel twirler. What's this thing? Well, how's stealing what the hell is your deal get him in here now? What's this guy deal? Can imagine him asking what he can do Like what can you do as he is talking to me, but we're trying to communicate It's stealing Mcbeam doesn't talk so it's tough. I talked to his handler That much by dude the hell I'm every day of that Is there I don't want to do this anymore. There's his dad This is Tim Robinson take this on Carl had It's world again dad Look at him though every step forward takes you closer But he's that's that's from that's the guy from a hey Gilmore that hanky minkines Yeah, what does dad say? Sean Mcbeam second Metal Mcbeam hey jelly takes his nut from Burdus so I got her
Oh good one That one no he's gonna come together though pretty good I don't know when he started stealing Mcbeam though still doing it. Let's remember that. Yeah represent best boss We can and balloon he's not doing it one of the light he's in a hall of fame. I think blues in the hall of fame. Who's yeah The cult rig of honor. Yeah, he probably is in the cult rig of honor. Okay. See that's what the internet does What done see he's in a mascot hall of fame. We want a soup boat to them. Where's that exactly? So he came after soup one that we have not one is it? No, he won. He was there We should check his origin story because if he came after the soup And then they lost and then you lost the superpaulin they have no I didn't learn shit the team. I was on loss I was just lucky to be there. Let's make sure that is known. I do not have my name mentioned the last My dad was pretty cool was blue there for that he fucked it up definitely was Wow, let's get to a break blue. I was very lucky to be on those teams and I think blue thinks same way about the cults I think he has pretty good little I think he's got good little spread. I think blue has really that he started like a 17 year-old is 85 now
I want to Auburn. I think which has a mascot school Of course from my understanding worry. Okay. I think they got a lot of the mascots that you see are coming out of Auburn's mascot school and then created and then started But cults were a superbo chance in 2006 the same year the blue started So maybe blue brought a superboart time I we got to see did he come after oh I love him out there like his kids they were the cults won the superbo and blues first season Okay, okay, there we have there we have the reds back. Let's go. Do you have anything said any video evidence? Any video evidence of blue anywhere near the superbo or anywhere near the celebration if we is that what it's gonna take for you to back off Maybe yeah, blue should be the fucking GM That's what it sounds like Yeah, long as tenured cult Blue well, you also got the equipment lads sure and the training room lads sure and they probably would give blue the I don't think so the cosine to get up into the front off
I don't know. I don't know. I think everybody's all aboard the coach train this year that's in that building I think everybody feels good about where we're at Daniel Jones ballin. How it pierces back Keenan Allen not giving up the number uh not getting the number 13 because Oh, don't know that Not at all But Keenan Allen was found inside of his car while intoxicated so he gets charged with a Sure operating while intoxicated. So he's not allowed to say he wants the number 13 Because you immediately got into trouble as soon as you got to the city it doesn't matter if you're a first-bound hallfamer or not That's kind of how that all goes I think It can consecutive starter at quarterback in week one for the first time in what Ten years. Let's go cults. That's huge and guess who's back. Oh blue. All right The front-offers are nice my change your life.

I hope you felt our love to you and everybody else one half of the hammer Cowboys AP town is your town. What's the spread tonight? What are we looking at obviously Mike Norville a lot to do this year for FSU and then lastly still on an incredible build of this SMU squad that is normally pretty I'm firing fast pace on the offensive side definitely this ACC battle What should we be looking at as SMU are three point favorites? Yeah, it's actually ticked down to two and a half Which is interesting because all of the money is on SMU A lot of the as far as the public perception right now SMU is high and Florida state is low coming off the last couple years Kevin Jennings the quarterback for SMU has been really really good They have already named a athletic facility at SMU after Kevin Jennings I don't know if he's the first athlete. Yes, they have already named a facility after Kevin Jennings
A lot of records broke. Yeah, and he hasn't even finished his senior season there yet So that's sweet. Yes, what we'd like to call a bit of a trap line in this situation Even though retlashley said this week that he does has no idea why they're the favorite to you Would expect them to be seven to ten point underdogs coming in tonight FSU has already played a game this year. They didn't look great last week But we will see you here in their ACC debut for these two teams. Are we expecting points or not? I took the over for SMU points They have obviously like I just said have Kevin Jennings and they return a lot of offense But they do not return a ton on defense and Florida states defense didn't look incredible last week They couldn't get any pressure against New Mexico state. I think that who it was you the New Mexico or next Mexico state So yeah, I'm expecting points tonight 54 and a half I believe is now the current line it was 53 and a half when show started it goes up a point the spread goes Don a half a point interesting numbers as week one of college football season wraps up With Florida state SMU nine year NFL vet Derrius J Butler is here. Yes, sir
Debuts. It was great to have football back. Yes, it was great to see studs Was there any defenses across the college landscape that deserve to be talked about a little bit more than maybe they were How about what LSU's defense was able to do and what was going on with the blocking their Clemson? I don't understand. I was shocked I honestly expect a decent game I expect the Clemson at least to be in it in the fourth quarter But we expected LSU defense to be good at kept the defensive coordinator had returned a bunch of players But I mean they just looked Horrible on that offense like they haven't practiced obviously your name just starting quarterback at the eleventh out You you bench him then you go back to him But if you can't block him up in the trenches you can't get anything done and it looked like For both quarterbacks just like it was 13 guys on defense that are facing those white jerseys moving so fast the environment I mean, they were unbelievable right now obviously you know Reset he will have him as their number as is number one team right now in the power rankings It's hard to disagree with him coming out hitting the ground running week one like they did They're a big strong and fast. If Steve wanted to practice. I believe on Thursday
And he came up to me. It was just like Oh I'm like what what's that he goes that practice. I just watch from LSU. He was like They are so big so fast. Yeah, everything is just so everything everywhere He said you see freaks everywhere right every single position They got guys and it's not just one guy. There's two guys at every single position He was like I I don't know how you beat him. I don't know how you beat this team He was actually multiple time said that and Stanford Steve gets a chance and does thankful that he does this He goes and watches these practices for all of us, you know He gives him that is literally what he's doing and we appreciate him He spends a lot of time doing a lot of this stuff for all for a lot of other people to be good at their jobs So we appreciate the hell out of him, but he was drooling He was drooling over LSU's practice just like So excited to watch what they were and he he on his pick. He said he picks Clemson a cover And as soon as he said that I actually like looked at him and I'm like man You're the one that swayed me. It's it's you're the one that swayed me and to think that they were gonna kill because
Everything else I'd been reading about this LSU team and then the Clemson team It was like everything that we worked on you put together everything that we've been talking about It's like every position was like they got an answer. They got an answer. They got an answer They got an answer they're faster they're faster the bigger they got more experience in the quarterback I mean Trinidad Chambers Canon Absoluted Canon fun to watch it's too great throws less unbelievable bucket bucket shot There was another one for the fuel goal where he puts it on a line for like 35 yards If you fell asleep you missed an electrifying finish to Ole Miss Louisville you know and apple right there That's getting fuel go ranked basically an absolute hose and then they get a 48 yard fuel go from one I mean look at ball that spiral absolutely tight on a dart runners ball He is he's a weapon Trinidad Chambers sir. He was a Ferris State Okay, so Ferris State obviously he won the heizman for D whatever that is He too then he gets in a Charlie Weiss Jr. and Lane get that's the one to get in the fuel goal or to keep the the chains moving or whatever He plays great in big moments. He has an incredible arm. He can move everything you see Trinidad Chambers do
We know great kick here by car narrow by the way He he missed one early. He pulled one very abnormal for him every time we watch him kick live in person He had a pure ball boobie and just an absolute pure ball But if you look at just strictly what Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weiss Jr. were able to do with Trinidad Chambers in Ole Miss And I'm not saying that Trinidad wasn't his own talent everything if you were to pair him with Sam Levit It's like Sam Levit can do everything that Trinidad can do and he's already taken a team To a CFP by himself with Skataboo at Arizona State So I was really eager to see Sam Levit in a Lane Kiffin offense with all the weapons that they have So I thought LSU was going to win not in a dominant fashion But then whenever Steve comes and tells me they got him out they got because I thought they're limited at the top I thought like roster like a crossed on a cake Thought it was really good and then everything was going to be soft underneath it And he was like nah everybody's unbelievable. It's like he swayed me in the thing and they were gonna kill him I thought he had a 40 or 50 is what I was debating in between in the moment when I was talking there
Went with 50 just because it sounded a little bit more dramatic I guess Should have stuck with 40 but it felt like obvious after Steve told me they looked the part They certainly did they certainly looked the part across the board me and Gumpy got to be there Taking a knee in the end sentence. We don't block everybody's view Then we're told I miss princess Erica At halftime Or before at the end of first quarter that we're gonna have taken me we say hey already done it We respect these people the people that are in the stands. They've been drunk for 1314 Well, wait and they're an unbeliever but we got to see it and from our perspective They were giants man. They all look the part. Oh, yeah, Jordan Seaton's he was unbelievable left tackle Straight out of Colorado good transfer. How's he gonna do great? There was the obviously bobble deflection Interception early, but that was basically the only time they were stopped and anytime Sam need to make get the edge or get a run He did I think I forgot how fast he was it was there a problem did they it's crazy to be like Is that is you're gonna win the fucking national championship, and he got hard SEC obviously as you see difficult every
They want perfect this weekend, by the way As you see had a perfect weekend So there's gonna be a lot of conversations about that as we go forward about who has a deeper Conference and everything like that But it's hard not to think that after watching them do what they just did the Clemson Yeah, because all the bullshit that was happening off season with the pros and the court case you forget that no lane kiffin It's a hell of a ball coach Now you think about the quarterback you think about these high-powered offense when you think lane kiffin But he always wins in the trenches like that's how he builds his team to run game the trenches And then looking at them, but on the flip side you're talking about these defenses LSU great Where he left old miss I was surprised at their defense throughout that game and especially down the stretch with Paul Golden Being the defensive guy how the like guys were running wide ass open from Louisville Yeah, they have talented receivers obviously telling a town to play call their head coach talented quarterback But I did not expect them to give up 38 points against that Louisville team Yeah, Golden has some of the latest things to say afterwards. I think he understands that as well They've got a huge one here in a couple weeks not that every game is an important, but LSU Traveling into Oxford lane traveling in there. They look like they're midseason form right now
Ole misto has some stuff to figure out, but they're taking on a very good Louisville team brawl want it Purdue Yeah, okay, this the guy that's a head coach of Louisville was winning at Purdue So this guy is a actual coach college had a Spectacular weekend Obviously the LSU dominance at prime time mid-day though Baylor obber came down to a two point conversion nine seconds left you scored touchdown You could tie go for two what a tackle What a tackle the decision was made by oranda and Baylor and DJ lagway is quarterback after scoring a touchdown sick drive great come back Wonderful game. Do you go for two or do you kick the extra point everybody? I was with which was Des Ries Joey gump you name it read the whole crew as we're waiting to do our show Go for two go for two got to do it. You got a chance here half inch D-butt. What do you think? I'm in unbelievable if you pause this play when he caught the ball out of bet 10 million dollars that Usually on defense to the bus the priest snap they got them there mosaic where they want to presnap as well Got the edge just two point play anytime you're in that low red area any defenders thinking sprint right
I should you give the quarterback a two hey you got an option to run it you got an option to throw it You have the leverage you beat him so to get to that spot and stop that we always talk about defending every blade of grass And this will be played you know on repeat in that defensive meeting room I mean, it's an unbelievable finish great tackle left no doubt the goal line just a great great play for winters That man's name is Eric winters. He tackled Matthew Klopfenstein. Okay, you're a baler classic great come back by DJ lagway and baler cut off short incredible tackle and then after you see it you you watch it live you're like he had to have got it He had to have gotten they go to the replay. It's like wow What a finish and what a start to the go-lash era down there in Auburn Yeah, and for winters too. I think on the touchdown He was the guy that was covering the inside slot because they kind of did a similar thing where he couldn't get around To the wide receivers then they scored that touchdown that next play Obviously he kind I don't know if he learned anything from it But he got around on the second one and made that tackle How about a blocked kick to win a game that happened in week one is Colorado Thursday
Beach Georgia Tech on a block kick after having a late comeback Jude Lewis's first start back in his home state of Georgia ends with Colorado beating Georgia Tech and Colorado pound in the rock And stop it right there. They were pound in the rock. They were actually playing big boy Oh, yeah, tough football and I appreciated them all saying I thought we're soft Although we're soft because we even said how are they gonna stop justice hate? How are they gonna stop Georgia Tech is just gonna want to pound him in his new era? I genuinely didn't believe it didn't know if it's gonna happen watching that game unfold It's like wow Colorado looks different than they've ever looked before This is a different style than they've ever really had before and they just beat Georgia Tech on the road in prime time What a start for prime in another year to uh Trying to win that Colorado I think you mean or you mean where it was sound like a question Well, I just don't know what the standard of how we should talk about this like Call the rato. I think since he's got there has a lot of hype a lot of but the expectations have never been like they're gonna win the national championship
It was like hey, they're building a program building a program building a program selling out stadiums. They are the show What is it what are the how should we be talking about calling? I mean we talk about an NFL year all 32 teams going into the season Have this idea within their building like hey, we can go and win a soup bowl. We take care about business blah blah We know from the outside looking in it's like okay, maybe it's eight to ten teams that can actually do it Kind of same thing with Colorado, but you got to play and win. What's on your schedule? And this is a great great start a completely new identity every time you look at him It's hey, they're too small they're too this or too that and then you look at this team that they got absolutely ran over last year It's kind of similar to the redemption under revenge that Bella check got weak one against TCU So we saw Bella check we saw prime and now he gets this win. I love the juju You know he ever running the ball obviously kind of keeping him out of harm's way but him making this greed making this throw That was a great right by the route by the tight end as well And then we were talking we talk about it probably more than any show the operation with the field goal blocks We talked about him when you know Vinnie going on Hall of Fame and hey, what's that time is a 1.2?
So this we talk who can block it see the regard the middle out and forget what it was at this game where it's six nine guy We got yeah right up block the game and then him coming off the edge getting there making this block to win This game and walk off fashion man the type of energy is puts into a locker room You know just to prepare you throughout the rest of season unbelievable So yeah, I think definitely you know I don't get the same eyes without shedore and Travis hunter there even Jordan Seaton you know going on to unless you but you got to build this program kind of from the ground up You talk about the halves and the halves knots. I think Colorado will still kind of be in that have knots conversation Yeah, and you talk about building it from the ground up prime kind of switched His NIL Approach this year he was going for five stars and four stars that didn't work out and bring him into the program and that Visually kind of went with more of guys who were proven kind of like has sig has done in the portal and other successful teams Have done in the portal where they go for production Maybe not so much upside their proven calls football players instead of hey like this could be the best football player in the world It seems to have worked out week one so far Boo Carter on the block there of Aiden Burr
What a start to the season for them and yeah, if you find your guys, you know your culture not scared to adapt I like that at a coach prime especially with how the off season went Let's head up to West Virginia, Morgan town. They're retired pat white's five There you go. How about you pat? We're doing great That was cool. That was pregame right before the game kicked off They celebrated coach pat white for what legendary player all-American All-everything pat white did back whenever he was playing. I was so lucky to be a teammate of his He was redshirted so he was one year above me in the recruiting class But I came in played immediately and got to ride his coattails to so many massive moments I mean just things that I did not deserve to be a part of I was a part of because him and Steve Slayton in O-inshmit and the entire crew across the board were so good at football So I'm very thankful for pat white I'm very thankful for West Virginia retiring the five because obviously his professional career did not work out exactly how we at all hoped It would have worked out both in baseball and in football if he was like 10 years later
I've no idea what his NFL career would be. I mean you can You can go ahead and put that as just a bottomless bowl of success. We're a bit top-by pick. Yeah, I just ahead of his time Incredible teammate incredible leader was great for the state of West Virginia What you see that stadium right now is not what it looked like before pat white got there With the locker room looked like before pat white got there and after pat white got there What the university looked like before and after pat white got there everything that he kind of brought to that state warrants I think the retirement and I'm happy he got celebrated. I'm happy. He got celebrated Yeah, you talk about being lucky to be his teammate. I was very unlucky to be his opponent every year and that big east and You know, I saw that he was the only quarterback to start and win for a bowl games like just unbelievable What that offense was every year? You know teams that played Navy. It was like okay. This is the one week where trying to simulate a practice Just something you never see that rich Rod and what he had with the offense with pat white slating in the offensive line Like it was just something that off of video game He was so fast so explosive and then as soon as you were locking and have you know eight nine guys committed to run boom
He'll put it over top of the head to Darius rating all to somebody so he was just an unbelievable player Seems like he was an unbelievable teammate. So I'm glad they honor him glad, you know He still in the program a part of the program as well But I love seeing guys like this get their flowers every McCordy put out a tweet like yeah I was definitely on that tribute video any defender in the big east was definitely on there multiple times Yeah, he was fun to watch man and obviously I was kicker and punner So I was going out on the field pretty much every single time I was very lucky to be on a team that pat white was on and Yeah, I mean that was my real introduction to the football world and it was like just watching these two dudes Okay, okay, I think we're pretty good I feel like we are pretty good. AJ was this style much in the big tent for us I think whenever we would play a team that was like very fast like we were a very fast team. I don't get it We trained speed. I mean bar was had us working speed. We were trying to be a very fast team But if we happen to run into a fast team It felt like they were able to reach with us. They were a penetration was able to happen big 10 football
You know, Richard goes up to Michigan I think he if you were to ask him if he had another couple years and got his people in there I think he thinks they would have done well anywhere goes there zone at Jacksonville state back at West Virginia And we kind of have a similar thing right now with Hawkins a quarterback He was a starter. Obviously we get out so great cam cook our running back first play of the game This felt like no-o divine Steve slate. This is first play of the game 15 minutes left on the clock right there This guy just gets the ball first stop conference USA player the year last year transfers into West Virginia from Jacksonville state first time he touches the ball for West Virginia is a 72-yard runner something like that It was like wait this does feel kind of like it used to be back in the day Rick trickets back on the offensive line coaching them We got a couple Highest recruits. I think we've signed in some time or offense alignment that are playing at a very young age coastal Carolina obviously gave us a little bit of a test in the second half But we start out and it felt good Do you think this style of offense will always be able to work age if you have the right people and why do you think pat white was so successful back in the day Yeah, I mean the offense can absolutely work
Well, you mentioned though if you have the right people like we know when you have dynamic playmakers that have just unbelievable speed and vision everything It makes it's always going to be tough for a defense to stop and but going back to pat white like I when I think of West Virginia. I think it guys like pat white slate and I think of those guys of putting them on the map and Thinking I never was able to actually actually I'm very lucky that didn't have to play against pat white because that's an absolute nightmare Especially as a linebacker thinking like you're if you ever play man coverage like I feel like I can never play man Covered against a guy like pat white. I don't think he beat you with his arm But the second I turn my back. He's gonna turn him. He's gonna Pick up that ball. He's gonna run for a 65-yard run on me And it's gonna be an absolute backbreak your coach is gonna kill you and your old defense is gonna turn on each other Start pointing fingers because that's kind of how it goes when you play a guy like you yeah He did the moralized teams you kind of see it right in front of your eyes I didn't even think about it from your perspective where everybody's blaming everybody else so that's and everyone does their job Dude man, I have my you know, I got I got dude running a four four. I'm running with him down the seam You everyone's covered and I don't want to say like wait how'd they score my my back was turned this dude
Just ran right up my back and in random the end zone and when you do that you're right it is like It's the moralizing for a team because you're like what what else can we do to get this guy in the ground coach You're so you talk about players you have coaches over and having conversations that you just never heard on the football side like it Talking to D-Long. Hey when they snap the ball Just run sideways. All right I've never heard that there's all people about penetration moving in line of scrimmage But with those guys they will go kind of sideways lateral and then with you know Everybody runs a version of a RPO now if you're a satchu quarterback you do that But pat white it was always like and he would hold it like so he's riding so if you're a D-Long And her lineback like AJ's talking about you're right with 10 and then five pulls and he's gone or five pulls it and then 10's going to complete opposite way everybody's going this way and 10's out of the gate. So yeah, it's an absolute knife and then we had Owen Yeah, we had Owen. Yeah, we run away. We're gonna try to throw yeah, he was he was hanging clean and like 590 I forget what the number eight whatever the case was the bar was bending completely hitting the ground
Never seen anything like it before was a bouncer at West Virginia semester before he got on the team. He's a walk-on out of Wisconsin whitewater. I think he It was Wisconsin white. Yeah, it was Wisconsin whitewater played great. I think he was Virginia high school goes out to Wisconsin whitewater There may be the only ones that gave him an opportunity then decides He wants to walk on at West Virginia because seeing like the Ritraud offense and getting back closer to home I think is the origin story doesn't have a chance to try out whenever he gets there. So he's working at a bar as a bouncer Good luck. I mean honestly, but you are Oh my god You go into the wrong bar just stir some wrong shit and the that guy standing behind you just an absolute his head Button your head is just what it is, you know, then he gets to West Virginia and he gets on the football team And in borough is his weight room. This guy was lifting all of the weights Like we took a lot of pride in how we worked and borough was obviously kicked our ass on a regular basis And I say hour because I was just lucky to be in there alongside of it and unlucky to be in there as well on certain mornings
Ever just an absolute nightmare But like what this dude didn't await room and his story about betting on himself and going forward. It's like He was unbelievable just an absolute unbelievable athlete who would run through your face I mean and what was looking to do that and could also punt You know, I guess he's a great athlete and he missed his first start He got drafted to see how sea hawks late he missed his first start Because as they introed him and the thing he took his helmet which he had done 10,000 times before and bashes the helmet office for head place goes absolutely ape shit Obviously and then he just keeps trying to obviously bust cash open They're gonna have to seal that before yeah, we got the ball first Says other draw. I think he missed first play of for yeah, here is bang I mean yeah, yeah, we're gonna have to fill that one in there He had done that 10,000 times I would say in his life he was
So you got him could run your ass over right here and was fast. Oh, yeah, you got Steve Slayton who was Fast fast I mean like track star fast and then pat white is available and then oh, yeah, if not that would dump it the Darius Ray nod Tito Gonzalez booby miles going deep as well. It was it was fun to watch. That was my introduction of football That's basically my introduction of football full time That block of locker room was awesome what A cast of characters in there Ritra was back baby. Yep, let's go. We need that first half. Keep it going. Yeah, we need a first Cover's right Unbelievable people will like it. What's that doing? ESPN classic footage I mean Reggie Bush the second you know Tito I Hill and son Boy Wisconsin Joseph a die earlier. Yeah, I know Yeah, we are old bro. We are old And that that film of us damn your unwatch was crazy. Yeah, it makes my eyes hurt
I mean another day's got Larry Fitz's kid and drone by this kid Yeah, you know, it's only a matter of time Baby modest is on somewhere So we got to enjoy every moment. We got to enjoy every first like James Franklin. He's first You know They're entering a sandamond with Metallica down there as James Franklin in the Virginia Tech Hokees take the field for the first time In this particular era now obviously a lot of people chitchat and about what James Franklin can bring there look at that place Okay, that place We've had the opportunity to be down there whenever we were on the bar stool tailgate show We did a Virginia Tech game down there in blackberg We stayed in another time that had a saloon we went to I mean if we had this place so fun this place is out in the hills this place is
bought into Everything I am a huge fan of the Virginia Tech culture and if James Franklin can bring them back to the national forefront And if game day can get down there, man, it would be so sweet now I would obviously try to build an entire organization But can you do that if you get the right transfer portals like he brought some guys in from Penn State Obviously, we have a lot of experience start you have an incredible fan base You have the ACC now as opposed to the big 10 conference and schedule What a realistic Expectations for James Franklin in Virginia Tech Town. That's their over under I believe it's seven and a half Preseason was seven and a half I believe they are they dominated week one Wasn't even close and like when you look at their schedule It's really not it's like it's not bad all they're going out to cow, which will be tough They have to go to SMU in Miami which but those are all later in the season This could be a team that could be you know four five and oh to start they got to go Are they host pit and mason high chal who had seven touchdown passes this weekend
So that'll be their first probably Real tests after Maryland and BC who are a little bit farther down in the ACC schedule But seven and a half I like them to go over that number this year Which is because of everything they did bring in or bring in I like what they have down there because you know Franklin's Weekness is top five teams and they're only going to play one of those this year. There you go Shout out not a bad plan if you have any killies heal stay away from it Yeah, just go ahead and walk the other way Debut you know where bound Tyler what's up? Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, good pull. Hey, is that the best interest in ball that's see I'm thinking it's out there Very honest. I was down to her as you that one That was awesome. I mean all these are incredible I don't know how you judge them against each other. I guess you get a judge buy in from crowd Virginia tech everybody is in yeah They're all so good no a and m tennis. He's great. A&M is awesome. I am so power Yes Kanye. Hey, he's doing Yeah, that shit looks all elbows the fucking man. Well, I'm not yeah. Oh, yeah
I just don't know so many quotes from it. Yeah Kanye is all the way back. Yeah, it doesn't feel like he's all the way back He's all the way back but Elko too like I'll be excited to see him this year. Yeah, have we seen him? He looked pretty trim If you saw him at the press conference table he looked trim that's what I'm saying if you saw him on the side line Still bring Elko is evidently just football where that big tarp. Yeah, what a perfect Him walking down with the boys into hoodie. Thank you. Gee. I I love Elko not a lot of talk about Texas A&M. Yeah, they fucking dominated though after after half time The Michigan. I mean, I know underwood took a lot for the Michigan kind of antics the lights changing from you know Golds or mate to maize or whatever go to soak that I thought was really really cool And that's the one thing a and m has as well is the lights like Virginia Tech there They got the song and everything but that tunnel is just old school tunnel like the actual LED lights and some of these tunnels are next love. Yeah, I was very lucky to be down there at LSU this past weekend
Gumpy that place was alive that place was a lot torrential downpour Okay not a lot of coverage torrential downpour on everybody outside the stadium while everybody outside the stadium is being told to leave outside go Find cover so the fact that they filled that place up still after Hour and a half the lays to our delays with what was happening weather-wise throughout the day I think was really special in the way that all dried up the field I guess they have an irrigation system that is like very good for the field It didn't appear to be super sloppy even though the rain was Observed and that place was packed out third quarter There was a maybe it was second quarter Lil Wayne a milley whole place blacked out lights Light show for coming in and I believe that's a part of it like I think lane lights this like yeah like hey Let's do show yeah, I I'll tell you it's worth being there. It was worth experiencing so hot Sure, I mean look so hot that was awesome though
It was I think everywhere this weekend too. That's why it's hard to maybe like you know I mean shit Texas Texas state they said people like during the game There's that picture of all the people sitting in the concourse because it was just so fucking hot I know like Iowa they said with the how hot the turf was it was like a hundred and fifteen degrees on the field like so a lot of those games It's like how much of that goes into it too where it's like it's too humanly hot to be playing football USC last week. Yeah, exactly. Hey listen that he ain't nothing to fuck with My jacket. Yeah, no you exactly Yeah, Peter Schringer called out immediately upon seeing the picture that it was a Wu Tang Simple my back right there and what an honor it is for Chateau But yeah, it was really hot. Hey, so once Shot stand for Steve telling me by the way, okay, so obviously you don't see your back Everything was sticking to me since the beginning so I didn't know when it was gonna happen But in the front it wasn't going through the jacket and I just put this jacket on shot David Allen I took I cut the tag off it 20 minutes before I go
I seen that thing for like 30 minutes maybe so I put that thing on David Allen literally just sends me jackets I put them on I appreciate him doing that So I haven't seen my back Steve comes up to me and goes hey, you're back And I'm like, why do we got like a little run? He goes no no no it's not That's most of the back he's want to talk this photo. He goes turn around. I'll take a picture for you And I take it and I look at I go oh Geez, that's everywhere. So that was early in the show We still had another hour and a half two hours left to show at this point So the next time we go down out to the crowd crowd was spectacular Next time we go out to the crowd I ask him I go hey is my back still wet They go what I go is my back still wet and they go what and I turn around and hear him go Like literally like everybody yelling about it So it was a little bit of a scene down there with how hot it was it wasn't the only scene you got to see Eastern Michigan You know they say run through a brick wall. They're actually doing that Okay, coach got to talk them up big time water pressure on coach to get them to want to run through a wall of bricks They certainly took the sledgehammer knocked off the edges a little bit left about half an in middle run around
Side you kind of get the point now was it the coach talking to the Eastern Michigan folks or was it Joey? Josh just not what yeah hot dog eating American icon Joey chestnut main appearance with the e-moo's and had a donut eating contest with the lads to kick off the season Fun fact about this it feels like America kind of all the way back Because the American icon was asked not only to visit e-moo whenever they run through the brick wall day before they said Hey, what's come to Illinois? Yeah, Joey Josh test on it's kind of coming into lock rooms letting him know that American greatness is upon us And we could potentially do that ourselves out on a football field AJ how do you feel about Joey jaws to and I want a weekend? Obviously done on eating contest happening down there at Eastern Michigan and obviously the brick wall situation that happened before the game I love everything about this. I would assume that Joey chestnut is going to be at one or two college football games every single Saturday this year He might be the shameless of this year Now if he's the shameless, but I like that Joey jaws is potentially going in there and say hey
Let's see what be the best in the world. There's certain things you got to commit to Take it from me Joey jaws chestnut. I've won 7,000 eating contest Whatever the case when you can find inspiration and motivation. You certainly take it Joey jaws chestnuts kind of making the rounds as he should be deep. I'm glad he's all the way back And he's still bringing it and you know look I like these gimmicks, you know, sideline gimmicks. Oh, yes You know post game locker room gimmick try like your toe right now, but that that fucking brick wall that was the dumbest What another word I won't say on here. That was this was very stupid AJ you're lying through your TV You don't like this bullshit. It's amazing. It's all about grit D. But that's all you actually want to throw a brick wall Yeah, if you started from the beginning again, folks, the guy on the right the tackle He loses his sledgehammer hits the guy in the middle in the light Guy in the middle actually it limped on to the fields couldn't really move after that He's holding this sledgehammer that took him out there 42 71 loses handle of the sledgehammer hits 42 skipping back there a little bit
He grabs it runs around it and says I'm happy we did this gimmick. We proved the law here sledge to the leg before your first game How do you how do you feel about yeah, that's terrible. Yeah, and uh, oh they lost the law Of course they do look at his bullshit Let's you got fucking no way it works if you got fucking like always smit running through the They used to have mad Max fucking Jagger not well. It's a match was me. Yeah, I know That's match that Max man used to line up into three points stands to run through that I thought they won. I thought they won was mad Max bad not with Joey Chester So Joey Chester he won in Eastern Michigan. Did he win in Illinois? Because I saw a hail Mary right now. He has a Joey Chester is a proud San Jose state state so he won So he won they lost that Eastern Michigan. I thought they won if you see him in the booth With the he has the San Jose state shirt on here's the oh really okay So he just traveled up to Eastern Michigan because he was in there Okay hang out just watching a game. I like he's just watching a game powering through some mini corn dogs with the boys up in the booth
Let me go ahead and showcase what this garlic can do. I've seen them do a lot of different stuff both with food Spicy stuff liquid stuff and alcohol he's unbelievable. I don't know how he is able to take down the things that he does But that's what happens when he commit to greatness. I'd like to see him in the doughnut Those are pigs in a blanket those are pigs. Yeah, many corn dogs. Yeah, he ate 250 What's his workout region? He does his stomach stuff. He does the whole whole whole take his roller stone. He's no wind hombs. Yeah, it's a graces He's jacked. Yeah, he does he I don't know if he's jacked, but I think he does exercise some stuff and It smells like hot dog juice just all the time. Oh Well, that's the thing about it is I think he does He doesn't just puke it all up. No, he's from his poor that shit lives with him That shit lives with him and he has to live with it as well. Go ahead Bruce He talked about it in this in-game interview. I watched the entire thing He he said that he knows if it's going to be a good or bad experience coming out pretty soon after each hot
Hot dog or other food eating content. Yeah, we actually I got a chance to kind of experience that at the colds game I had a half time when he tried to when they did the Say no most cocktails toss You know at halftime of course that's kind of the time you leave the sweet to go use the restroom I wait at halftime just because it's so packed in there so I wait probably five minutes into the third quarter Hashtag life hack life hack and As I open the door to go to the bathroom. I see a guy shot out of a cannon Running in front of me to go to the bathroom turns out Joey Joss post All that cost say no most cocktail sauce. I get in there both stalls are Are unfortunately occupied in Joey Joss is in a panic. He bayed on the first door. No, nobody's there Bayed on the second door. No still sorry man. Someone's in here and you just hear off Hurry up hurry up quick and of course it this was the game I believe and
I take I do my business just take a piss and on my way out I hear just a bad just And I think at that point What was happening and finished up quickly in install but yeah, it doesn't just he doesn't just sit in there and it's all hunky-dory It comes out he doesn't throw it up But he comes out The basement gets flooded we appreciate him battling for the good of our society. I think You know like I think it's good for our society to be able to see things like that happen because then you can really understand what the body can do Yes, yeah, he takes down way too many dogs to be able to operate every day especially with what we're told about all this food and what it does to your body And he's just taking in a entire life worth every single time. I love I love the candy paint. Okay. I love What happened down in Houston? Okay, and obviously the The rims there Classic Houston. I do believe for my understanding
I've never seen anywhere else, but I have driven in Houston a few times and see those things popping out And I think both hilarious and you got to really pay attentioners You know the people driving these need to be better drivers than maybe most of us Love that Houston's all in and bought into the culture and the community and also Maybe starting a new tradition that can lead them to a national championship done earn Houston Yeah, maybe maybe I mean listen, it's cool anytime you can wheel you know a nice vehicle like that on field I absolutely love it that is really neat You imagine what would happen if one of their players would have got their legs, you know, yeah song off for something like that Those things are on the side of like SUVs. Oh, yeah, SUVs take up the entirety of the lane, you know like twisted metal exactly like cars are Built to fit the lanes. Yes, that's why European cars are like smaller because their roads are smaller Down there, I mean they're gonna have perfect precision It's unbelievable they are just we driving parking
I mean three spots at least for that the driving is phenomenal with them I also like the fact that they you know, it's a lot of people can put a little someone on tailpipe You know, we can get a little bit of that we can certainly put some Hydraulics and this thing make this bitch dance a little bit. We can certainly do that. Where's nobody else really do? Take these rims and take this shit out. Yeah, yeah, let's say I like the innovation I like Houston's always seemingly ahead of everybody else with everything But for me, I'd be a little bit nervous driving it certainly. I think it'll be a little bit nervous I don't know if I but that's why I'm not from from Pittsburgh. I can't drive that that you got a really you'd be able to What about if there's just you've been able to do everything? If I've got that I'm hitting everything if I'm driving that car Everything if you if you even nick someone's tire. Oh you that thing's exploiting I mean, you know, and then that car's fucking you know you're causing a 15 car pile up if you I have too much anxiety. I think the drive one of those But I do appreciate that they're out there on the roads doing it
Did I like to use some brought them in to intro them to the game? Do you see what I eat that? What's that? I believe I believe the bison drove a indie car out of the field what yeah, it was awesome. Oh, you know, Kurt signati actually was pace car Drive free any he was last year. So his relationship obviously with the indie car family is obviously grown I assume over the last couple of months. I did not know they took an indie car out onto the field. Yeah, who's your as name? Yeah, bear bison. Mm-hmm. He's new. He's good. Now he's old Well, you're right. They brought him back. He's retro And I thought it was AI at first But I'm pretty sure he drove an indie he did I saw that as well. Who's car was a car daily? Here it is right here Mike Schumann at the daily user run out led by who's your the bison in an indie car Okay, I wonder if who's your the bison one through Auburn thought amount of driving indie car look it's right over a player right on that I mean, it's gonna pretty slow here This is the end he was he was going 150 at the beginning peels out here
Kind of an old model obviously had those laying around painting for India and I like the idea they better be Oh, yeah That place is rocking as well The environments man college football has them you know like obviously Patriot Seahawks will be showcasing maybe the best environment at the NFL has So I liked that that's happening over there in Seattle my NFC team Love that big one coming on Hey start hot start hot start for your first game as a fan. Yeah, just got kicking off the season That's what my NFC team does yeah, you know what I mean we need him even more to play That's gonna be how's like he's gonna be out there That was like it Shefner wasn't willing to say that the man flew all the way to Australia That'd be crazy But maybe all the trainers won over to Australia so you had to go over there to train. Oh That that that's a whole another follow-up. Oh, yeah, there are a lot of things beforehand So maybe all the trainers are over there as well. He's training with so if he was to stay back and train It were everybody's over there, but you could leave somebody back
Yeah, he's a pretty important piece I feel like if they really didn't want him to play he's not getting on that long flight to go over there He's not he's certainly not Practiced in today with zero limitations, you know, I think it's safe to assume that he's probably gonna play I think so too. I don't know how much he's gonna play But I think it's safe to assume we will see him on the field How about the NFC Westby and celebrate it here the opening two nights? That is very real a lot of incredible teams cannot wait for that to start do you think the well They could be showcased in a way as well You never know if they win a few games don't let them get out watch out don't let them get hot down there new Prax facility come and remember new era potentially in Arizona. We shall see you gonna have to see it to Actually believe it. Do you think Mcdonald with his tough culture that he's been out there? He would uh maybe want his equipment manager taking on some Some sheds of some blocks and warm up this guy is the best we need him on our team if somebody's willing to step bang Get right back into the fire. Yeah, let me get right back in there. Don't look at The good leverage burn
We get back up here. I'm a go at Yeah, for the good of the team for the good of the thing he's in that role actually I think what he says I think he said hey don't hold back on me that he does You guys gotta do what you got Yeah, I think there's a chance maybe he's playing for the team Maybe he's on the other side and they got some story bum there But him getting right back in there. I would like to say It's not about how many times you get pancake It is about how many times you get right back into the same exact spot standing the exact same way to get pancake again Shout out this guy Talk about commitment to ball Absolutely commitment commitment to ball the other Lacker family. Mm-hmm. Started Notre Dame. It's going to transfer Let's pick up a safety Fresno State USC. Who's back here? Boo Get the hell out of here. Thank you shout out to the defense making some plays. There's a couple of safeties this weekend I do believe yeah, yeah, I'll tell you the defenses that can move are seemingly pretty problematic that LSU defense
Watching Clemson try to get to the edge and once again I know I'm just referring to this game a lot strictly because I was there boots on a ground watching it's hard not to just go from your own personal experiences Watching them try to get the edge on LSU's defense It was like yeah, right. That's never gonna happen and then the video you showed Feels like potentially LSU is doing some new magic just wow I was just tough. That was just tough play call on the third and long Okay, and people were killing this guy love tack what guy are you talking about the left tackle for Clemson Who's that I want to say his name's Haynes Bryant or something along those lines. I don't know. I think it's 74 74 exactly in I think it's Jacobs J. and it's a good boy. Yeah, oh It is oh yeah, well that sucks because I this was not the point I didn't even say anything about him. It was just the just a corner posted his video Conner what was your caption my my caption was bold scheme on third down to run this play because the guy that he's clearly supposed to be blocking his outside
Like right there if you pause at the beginning the guys outside of the tight end is lined up behind him So he's clearly responsible for that guy way out there But then because of the way the plate develops that guy doesn't really do a pass rush and then what weeks come through the big It was just one of those things where it's like man this guy got screwed by whatever play call this was Wasn't his fault at all. I think that was a ripple effect of the video going very very very very very very very very viral that a lot of people Were kind of attacking the player and I think what you were saying is that was not the intent of the video No, not at all. It was just one of those things where you see it and it's like this is fucking hilarious This is what they're wheeling out there Davos we know as calling this up down this up and that also kind of not not in a similar vein with the offense But the vetable stuff that we were talking about kind of before the show about Clemson like it might be over for Davos We need Clemson. I think it's just time to accept that when it comes to that team And it's last ten games versus the SEC Clemson is three and seven outright two and eight against number
Negative 88 scoring margin minus 88 and a half cover margin Means they got fucking blown up All right close to cover the number and then go cover it in a few Yeah, but that one's tough because that is 30 points just off Saturday night So if you remove you know on that one last year And then well, yeah, that was two years ago. Yeah, so 31 Yeah, I don't I don't fully I don't know man because they were tall well They're not going the right direction. It's still have It seems like it's still have the athlete that's what I'm saying like they have recruiting classes have Gone the wrong way as well man the two best quarterbacks they went from to show watching in college Who's a great player and then to Trevor Lawrence like Kate public was supposed to be really really good and kind of continue that and they never did Clemson used to be the best Fingo four years national champion Good time True dabble might not have that drip anymore
I forgot great career to know some people are coming after me pretty good pretty good tell me you know We made the pick yeah, yeah, fucking hunter guy. I forgot you got to stay off the Yes, stay off the internet on college game day Saturdays. Yeah, you were right. So Yeah, but that never it's always the no, I know but you know for any anyone from Clemson out there Boy, you got egg on your face today, don't you yeah, but they I think they know now. I think they that was pretty fucking embarrassing on Saturday night. So I can stand for Steve said took him Can he do that that's because he He he does the stupid gambler thing that we do sometimes where it's like 99% on LSU and it's 10 points. Can't take LSU Maybe End up you did the same thing you said you got kind of maybe swindler bamboozle. Yeah, I got I got swindler. I got food. I got soul of bad bill of goods, but look I have faith in the car I have faith in the coach. I'm like hey, you know Lane all this other outside noise all these distractions
48 transfers. How do you get everybody on the same page dabble over the culture? You know bunker mentality nobody believes in us, but boy, were they right? Yeah, no one was concept It was fun to say that ad LSU. I will say though. Yeah, like that was kind of a fun thing to do That was kind of a fun thing to say like they're gonna win by 50 But I did think was a very aggressive way to start the year Like if that is not right Clemson comes out wins that one and you hurt me say that immediately boy if they lose That was me realizing in real time that I'm about to get murdered. We got another what 13 weeks of the regular season There's so many things are about to play out in front of our eyes Who's gonna get lucky who's gonna be able to stay healthy? Who's gonna be able to take it the long haul? We shall see. I believe West Virginia just added a player or potentially. Yeah, so that safety from Georgia So what's going on? What what did happening? I believe he was one of the five for five guys That's tried out for a team, but never signed an NFL contract. So he just went worked out for it. Yeah, yeah worked out for a team now
Is it West Virginia? Yeah, boom? Are we the first team to sign somebody? No, Texas. Yeah, got it. So we're not the Texas did this Correct and I you had some guys play this weekend that never went and even tried out for a team But they were part of the five for five two. There's like three different sections Did you never even go try out? Did you try out and did you sign an NFL contract and those are the ones that LSU did not play but they are there got it I think Working out Is one thing yep for a team which is kind of those like I guess you would say try outside. Yeah, but training camps more so try out Yeah, so then that goes back to Like others and you know, it's only what there's the only time so play wasn't such a we're never gonna deal with this again Maybe we will play likes if it's five for five. That's three I have what if what if somebody three years eligible To clairs with a draft Goes through the entire thing
Okay, they still have two years left in the five for five Are they gonna come back to college? If they're not good enough though to make if they if it's they take three years And they declare for the draft and they're not good enough to make a team or be on that roster They would probably make more money in college so they'll stay all five years Okay, so let's say four years a guy starts for four years. He thinks projected to be okay in the NFL maybe back half of draft Gonna potentially go do this ends up not drafted Goes a gets signed undrafted free agent or whatever Goes to a place goes a training camp that person still has one year left gets cut from the end of training camp Right trying to make team wants to make team. Yeah, still has one year left Is he going back probably? It just feels like the money in college football is so great that and this is why the draft has become a little more watered down Because the guys are just staying in college that if you back after a draft you think it's staying for five yeah Like you you would assume that those guys who are in the back half of the draft now will be those dudes Who at who play five four years of college and that's the same thing is the the year after that
You know like those dudes who play four years No, hey, I'm gonna make part two Maybe three times more money staying in college for my fifth year because of how great I'll be and then next year I'll hopefully rise a little bit in the draft. Yeah It could certainly happen again though. Yes, and I I thought this was the last year for it and then something was said in the game day meeting. I was like Oh, I didn't think about somebody after maybe four starting years thinking they're good Maybe get some wrong information on how they are something happened right before the draft They do this entire thing. They will they be the ones that do it now And I guess with the amount of money in college if you're back half of the draft guy You're definitely going to want to get all five years of college ball into potentially work your way up I don't know I genuinely don't know if there's not rules to say you explicitly can't do it This is gonna happen until they say you can That's why I used to be yeah, well, they need to do with the NBA does that's why we need to pass college sports at the NBA Don't do it anymore. Well, the NBA combine you're allowed to declare go and do the NBA combine
And then there's a two-week period after that where like you taught the NBA teams Can you get like some maybe realistic Expectations and then you can go back. Yeah, but then there's also G league guys playing how's that work? Well, I don't understand that aspect of I'm just talking about like declaring from college Like going to NFL like in the NBA if you're a college player You can declare go and do the combine and then after the combine not not make it to the draft thing get undrafted You know and all that and then decide to go back like legitimately after the combine be like you used to be you couldn't sign with an agent Yes Yeah, so you can do that but you couldn't sign with an agent, but now we got G league guys coming back. Yeah, so like is that still Is that still a thing that we like we always always understood this But now does even matter because if they even sign with a g-le team they can still come back. Yeah, well within the five Five that would right like if they're 22 in the g-le because if your clock starts at 19 I don't know college basketball fucking sucks. So who can oh In comparison But all these injunctions kind of go with each other, you know, yeah shit kind of affects multiple things football
Obviously in the forefront of it. It's just it has to be some sort of rules You know, and I appreciate it getting a chance to talk about the protect college sports act There's a bunch of people coming out saying how none of us want against it's like because all of us like we have to have something like if you want to rewrite these things cool But we got to fucking We're gonna make adjustments to things to make them better cool like if you want to talk about what the cap is on the amount of money or How the cap isn't whatever the case is more money less money because you want to take away money cool Let's do it. Let's have that conversation But we need to continue to push something here and you're like look at the crowds looking all this it's like yeah Look at the spreads of the games. That's only gonna continue like what's happening and who's gonna be where well this continue It's like at some point we have to decide that we're gonna Figure something out here, you know, because we're all just kind of kicking a can down the road And it's like are we close enough with this protect college sports act to get enough done Or do we need to scrap this and start three years from now? A lot of really smart people that care a lot say like hey, this could help at least a little bit But I guess there's a lot of people saying there's some shit in the back of that that we don't want either. It's like ah, yeah, dude Okay Breaking house leadership is canceling the last two weeks of September house will be out more recess
What that's cool. I wish I could win. We're in school. I wish I could say you know what more recess Yeah, I think there's why she's the game is being a fuck it footballs bad Yeah, I don't want to do it. You're sitting up in fucking Yeah, this really feels like an offseason thing doesn't it? It's like well our offseason is gonna be a lot of like Elections stuff, you know conversational. It's like well, I guess we'll catch it the next one Which is kind of the worry Kind of worry is that this thing's just gonna get you know and then we're never gonna have anything And then the teams at the top are gonna stay at the top and probably go even more and then they're gonna knock out the middle class Say he's gonna knock out it's gonna knock out the middle class and then it's just gonna be Feeder system for big schools and other schools. That's just what it will end up being is where everybody's projecting Then there will there be enough money for You know Olympic programs as well, which is a big part of this entire thing women sports like what sports end up Getting cut if there becomes a massive financial deficit from all the potential money being spent in one particular sport First all the other sports, which is happening now. There's no real so
Feels like a lot of chaos good luck to everybody has to figure that out. Go get them Ross Dalinger says this impacts the Protect College Sports Act the House originally scheduled to be in session for four weeks September is now scheduled for just two This means the House would not consider the congressional bill until it returns in mid-November and then what its election season right? Yeah Yeah, it's saying it's saying happened so nothing's not this year Yeah, but then they say not next year either because that's first. Oh, yeah I don't give a shit about this I don't give a shit about this at all who cares college football is great the way it is, you know Actually is pretty awesome exactly which which is kind of the defense of it But like you said then that's that's what comes next is The same 12 teams who have all the money make the playoffs every single year and then yeah Maybe these a couple of these group of five teams get in they get their asses beat and then the middle class kind of just Very slowly kind of gets weeded out because a lot of these you know even like massive schools and massive conferences like their Athletic department are operating at a massive massive deficit and it's like how long can you do that?
Well, hopefully forever. Yeah, exactly Hopefully hopefully it'll be able to last forever because we're incredibly lucky and thankful for all of it All right, let's get to hell out of here. Let's get back tomorrow happy Labor Day everybody happy Labor Day You know What Shafty said about laboring on Labor Day No, but I did hear Shafty he was all up in arms about Rahim Missing his birthday on the flight Breaking breaking I got a nugget for you Pat. It turned 50 what he did yeah, didn't get chance to experience it It was a good nugget it was I said, he's been agent if we have he's so bad about it. How about it?

But Morris Lost his 15th birthday someone told him that's all so that's so cool
It's like a leap year, but not really I don't tweet this out need to see the Atlanta Falcons Twitter group what they responded to that because I'm sure it was great I'm sure they had some ideas on whether or not we should celebrate in birthdays.
