Gronk and Jules React to NFL Week 5 & Matt Light Talks Patriots and Drake Maye’s Resurgence

- A wild one across the pond. - Our first tie of 2026. - A beat down in Lambo. - And we're checking in with Patriots legend Matt Lai. - This is Week 5 in the National Football League. (upbeat rock music) - Oh my gosh. And it's time for our favorite six games of the week. Let's crack open that six pack baby. Let's get it going and start it. - I bet you Matt, for you light, we'll be drinking a six pack later on in this interview. 100% he always has a beer in his hand. And if it's not a beer, it's a six pack. - It's a six pack for sure. - So let's crack ours open. We got, oh, the opening. Oh, it's the San Francisco Fort, it's the San Francisco 49ers versus Seattle, Ceeox and Man was this a hack of a game. I think there was seven turnovers. Let's just talk about that. It doesn't matter, seven turnovers that made the game greater. Usually turnovers are like, oh, another one, another one. It was like, it made this game what it was. This game was physical. It went down to the wire a lot of mistakes, but a lot of mistakes where it was kind of like part of it. Like it's kind of hard to explain it. Like it made this rivalry better because of it overall. - Yeah, this was a slug fest. The turnovers were all like taken advantage of on both sides of the ball. Like offensively at first, when you watch the game, you're like, where's the stats? Where's this is because there'd be a fumble or a pick and the other team would capitalize on it. And boy, this Brock Purdy in the San Francisco 49ers love having Mike Evans, huh? I mean, how much did he ball? - Oh my gosh, Mike Evans is one of the best athletes, one of the best receivers I've ever seen. He's just naturally gifted. I play with him two years, obviously, on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and just looking at him, man. Just, he slimmed down tremendously too. And as you age, you want to get lighter. The heavier you get as a skill player, the slower you get, I would say throughout your age. So he's slimming down. He's staying at top of his level, whatever he's doing training wise, he's staying at top of his game mentally and physically. And he just looks like a true number one wide receiver out there. Seven grabs, I think 113 yards in a touchdown, but they're all big time catches, especially that first drive. I remember he had that third down catch, that put him on first and goal, and then he had the touchdown as well. Without the signing of, you know, Mike Evans, I don't think they win this game. And he's bringing to the table what the San Francisco 49ers been wanting for the last couple of years. That true number one wide receiver that can score touchdowns in the red zone when needed. That ultimate weapon, so Brock Pertie can just throw it up there anytime when they're in the red zone. He just goes up and makes those plays and it opens up everyone else as well. Now, we were talking, when we're watching this game, when's the last time the San Francisco 49ers had a receiver of this talent? I'm talking a true receiver, not like a guy that you got a motion of this, a guy that you line up on third down, on third and 10, that can make a play on third and five, that can make a play on in the red area that can make a touchdown. Like when's the last time they've had a receiver like that? They've had some, I mean, people say I'm your old, but you can't say that because like you said, he's a motion guy. You can, you can motion him all over. He can play in the clock. Just line up outside. It might be Joe, what about you? Yo, Terrell Owens, Jerry, it's been far. It's been a long time. They've been wanting a guy like Mike Evans and he just hasn't come to play. He has taken it to a level that, you know, that you usually don't see as a player age. And I'm telling you, it's his weight loss. He used to look bigger than me. I used to look at him in the locker room. But yo, Mike, are you sure you're not playing tight and this week like you're a gigantic beast, but he was still as athletic as can be. And you should see this guy pick up a basketball too. The second he picks up a basketball and just dribbles, you just look at him like, why are you playing football? You should be in the NBA. Like he's that gifted as an athlete, man. And it just shows, and it showed once again in this game today. Big plays by Fred Warner, the peanut punch. Oh, huge. I mean, he gets at least one at one of those a game. He's a beast who's like, tentacles. Green law got kicked out of the game. That's how physical and how this rivalry was for this whole game. And you think the 49ers won because green law kind of set the bar in the example of like, yo, we're going all out. Like he had put it, see, I don't see. It was stupid as shit. But like, I mean, it's just setting the tone of like, this is how we're going to be. We're taking no shit. You think they won because green law set the bar of like, this is what we're going to do today. This is how we're playing. I mean, that gave a little edge, but I think they won because of the turnovers of Seattle. Oh, that's a good point. I mean, yeah, that's probably why they won. Seattle. See how you can't, you can't just see. Jewels answer. I just want to see what he has. He got us through a couple pigs. He's straighting me back out. You know, it's, it's, it's so impressive to see San Francisco be five and all right now. They beat both division guys that everyone's been talking about. LA Rams in Australia. They come out and they beat Seattle in in Seattle. The one thing that we think about with the Niners. Can they stay healthy? Well, I think they had another couple injuries today. But Kyle Shanahan has Brock Purdy playing very poised, very in control. They got sacked a couple times. I mean, it was a slugfest. Seattle played a dang good game. It's just they turned the ball over too many times. The one, the one drop by JSN was so uncharacteristic. Oh, that's really one of the last play of the game. Second, last play of the game. The reason why they. Oh, it's not, but like literally what made this game so great as well, there's, there's sometimes when you look at a game, it's like, man, there's just one reason why we lost this game. Like there was literally like probably 15 different plays. Yeah, why they lost this game or why does San Francisco 49ers won this game? And that's what made this game so amazing to watch. And it just showed it was a true rivalry game as well. But what I love about the San Francisco 49ers so far this year is like, they were treated not like they were the little brother of this division. They were treated like they were the like a step brother. Like they were the adopted brother in this division. They weren't. That's worse. Exactly. That's worse than a little brother. The sea hawks were kind of treated like the little brother. This even though they won the Super Bowl, they were treated like the little brother because of what the Rams did in the off season. Well, let me tell you, they adopted an absolute animal. And every this division is going back and saying, who are the parents of the San Francisco 49ers? Who let this kid free because they are absolutely dominating. They want to know his genes. They want to know the background of the 49ers teams because this adopted kid is dominating this division and no one was expecting this. Hey sponsor us 23 and me come on now, 23 and me, 23 and me to San Francisco 49ers, well, just this off season. Yeah. I mean, even an incredible way to end the game. Like on the spot, was it a half inch there? Was it in and was it out? I mean, this was an incredible game, America's game of the week, you know, by Fox. And rightfully so. Going right. So it's going to be a great matchup when they see each other again, boy. And this game had a lot of ramifications. No doubt about it. Let's look at the game last year when the Rams lost to the Seattle sea hawks and then the Rams had to go to the NFC championship game in Seattle. I think the Rams would have won that game if it was at so far the NFC championship game. While this kid, probably this game can go down to the wire as well. And the season of, hey, now the Seattle sea hawks have to go play, you know, in San Fran for the NFC championship game, because you can't argue that it's not going to be the Rams or the 49ers or Seattle in the NFC championship again, unless for some reason in the playoffs, it lines up to where they play each other before the game. So I can see that this game is going to have a big impact on the playoffs, you know, down the future of home field advantage. Sure. This was everything you wanted out of a divisional rivalry game, unbelievable, just to put a little more shine on Mike Evans did all that with a broken rib ribs are all banged up. What a tough performance, basically, hey, is it a broken rib or is he got bad ribs? Something bad. He wins in every time. What is it? And he was holding his ribs all the time too, yeah, he was fighting athletic freak, dude. He doesn't have to try. And I'll go out. Absolutely. I mean, look at the diners. If I was as freak as Mike Evans, I would still be playing. I mean, the games, the turnovers and the red zone, diners for three for three, and they turned in, they turned those four turnovers into 24 points. I mean, don't look. That was a championship level game. And it's between two teams in week five, they got, they got to tighten those, those, those turnovers up when the next time they, they play because it, that's how you lose. Yep. That's how you lose important games, turning the ball over. I'm sure these teams will see each other again. It was both be fine. Usually it's not great to see turnovers. It was great to see turnovers in this game. It made this game. Oh, let do stuff. Yeah, what it was. Yeah. It was a treat. The turnovers were a treat. Who would ever say that turnovers in the game were a treat. It made the game better as a fan. Maybe because we have nothing in this game. I don't care who wins that game. Sam foreigners. Yeah. But I got an extra scoop of ice cream because of just how awesome it was. Shout out. Yeah. We, we wrapped this one up and move on to the next game. We got it. No, no, no. I'm going to wrap it up just yet. All right. We got to give the little Brady report here. Tom was on the call. We had a squirt mention. A squirt. Squirt. You're not wrapping it up. Yeah. We got a squirt mentioned. We had a stab yourself in the eye with a fork. Stab yourself in an eye with a fork. That was. It was really good. A coordinator, I believe. And then I think when my dad said that, yeah, he goes. what do you say? I thought it was it was on one of those those self-inflicted turnovers. He said, this is like stabbing yourself in the eye of the fork. I believe it's a contact coordinator. I'll go back and re-watch that one. And then last, but certainly not least, I think it was on one of those Mike Evans high points. He said he's good up there and changed the light bulb. Yeah, change the light bulb. That one's really good. That's a really good one. Wow. That one's like giving me. Yeah. Who is he? Yeah. Who is he? This just shows how great of a football player he is because he was situation awareness was always there. Whatever situation came to the table on the football field, he was always prepared and ready to go. And now he's doing the same thing in the booth. He's preparing the same way how we prepare for football. When this situation happens on the field, when I'm in the booth, this is the line I'm going to say. I mean, that just shows how great of a preparer? Yeah. Is that a word? Yeah. Yeah. He was doing some things. I'll prepare this guy. Oh, he has some sun. He had a couple suns. You can't help prepare him. Yeah. The turns. I mean, we're way out of 10. I was across the pond and look at this game between Philadelphia and Jacksonville. Oh, London. This was a wild one from start to finish. We had injections right in the first minute on the first play. We had a gutsy performance from Philly after an insanely bad week for those guys. They tried their hardest to win this thing, but came down to a crazy last sequence. Jags. Eat it out. 1917. Boy, man, I was proud of Philadelphia with all the headlines. Lane Johnson retire and Jurgen's getting traded. Everyone heard on their offense. They had like a guard who was like five foot eight three hundred or 260 pounds. It's like high school. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they had and they went out there and they had an opportunity about that game. Like they didn't flop it out there. Jacksonville had to go win it and they made that end of the game returned by who? That was by a mere abdula abdula. That was a huge return and then little with the backup snapper to be able to kick a 56 yard. Cam little but the leg big man. I tell you right now these international games. They've been they've been electric unbelievable. They've been electric. The foreigners have gotten some good games. You euros have gotten some good football. Ma'am. They gave us a good football though. You're like euros that they truly do. Yeah. But this is a sign of a good football team. Jacksonville win. The offense isn't playing particularly well. They had one turnover. They're five for 16 on third down. They're over three in the red area. They couldn't get anything going. They had 13 penalties for a hundred yards. It's a lot, but but they come big and special teams with a backup long snapper. They come big with the big return. The defense makes a big play to hold only three points in the last part of the game. That's what a good football team looks like in the ugly game. Yeah. They're not all going to be pretty, but that's a win on the willing win column. And also for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah. They've been decent over the last couple of years, but they couldn't figure out how to win games in the end. The big games especially. And that's what they're doing now. A good team figures out how to win no matter what the situation is. And they had eight seconds left. Oh, kick return. Well, we got to bring it to 52 yards. That's a mindset. Right. We got to bring what it was a 52 yard return. Well, we got to return this bad boy. So we're in field goal position because guess what? We know we have one of the best kickers in the league. They're real. I want a 60 65 yarder would absolutely no problem. So that was a mindset, you know, going into that kickoff return. And it's also a mindset. Hey, how do we win games, even if it's sloppy, even if it's gutsy. And that's what the Jacksonville Jags did here. And that's going to pay off in the end in the playoffs. Hey, we're in a situation here, but let's dig deep. Once again, we've already dug deep throughout the regular season a couple times. Now we can dig deep in the playoffs on like the last couple of years. And maybe we can get a win in the playoffs or two and maybe get a championship. You know, right. And all of all their little skill, all their skill guys made plays. I mean, Parker Washington has two touchdowns of 120 yards. He's been phenomenal. Like he came out of nowhere. No, he's he's been born last year. I've never heard of him before. Last year, he had a big year. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He got a hundred of Parker. He had a hundred catches and 1100 yards last year. But also, we didn't have the Grand Conjual show last year. That's true. That's true. I'm learning about a lot of new guys. That's what it's all about. Maybe no. But also, you had a big catch on third down by strange, the tight end. Jacopie Myers made a big play. Layton the game to get the drive going. I mean, I couldn't believe they won that game when they went forward on a fourth in the red area and they didn't get it. And then Philly came down kicks a field. Like there was a lot of craziness in this game. Oh, minimum swings were crazy for the mental toughness. It's crazy saying that the mental toughness that the Jacksonville Jaguars had across the pond against Philly. That's why they won. That's that was an unreal game. And you got to have mental toughness to be able to create, you know, a big time play when truly necessary. Like an end of the game. I mean, it was it was poorly executed by the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, they should have had a better game plan. Like don't like these kicker to easily kick the ball out out of the end zone. Like, why would you even give them a chance in the return game? Like kick it out of the end zone, put it on the 35 guard line. Right. If the ball goes out of the end zone on the kickoff, it's on the 30. There's going to be a lot of talk about that. And then guess what? Eight seconds left. They got one play making a hell marry or one phenomenal play. I think the chances are less than a kickoff return, you know, coming out. So yeah, man, what a what a treat for the the English people over. Gone right. And I bet you care. Little is going to be like a superstar. Oh, you know, London, ah, a kick in London to seal the game. But also what's great about these Euro games is like, I wake up here in a LA time at like six a.m. And there's already a game. And I'm like, what the heck? I got football and I'm studying for that NFL pregame show. Fox is not even out of bed yet. And look, and I have a game. This is great. This is phenomenal. Gets you going. Get your best alarm blood. The rain. Best alarm clock. There is. How about we head to the nation's capital, boys? Oh, my god. For a rainy one, Jamie's leads an insane fourth quarter. Come back for this bad boy ends in a tie. 27 27. A lot of controversy there at the end over time. First tie of the year. Guys, what you think about this one? Man, I can't believe New York tied this game up. Unreal. Like, what was the score in the third or fourth quarter? 27 13. Jamie's leads back to back. 70 plus yard drives. I mean, next thing you know, we're tied it up 27 27. I talked about it and NFL Fox kick off. Like he's feast and famine. He's going to throw you three picks, but he's going to throw you three touchdowns. Like this guy hasn't forgot out of play football. And Jamie's boy, does he make it entertaining? There was a big run by cam scataboo late scat. You know, you got Malik neighbors balling out 11 catches for a for a hundred and 21 yards. I love to see that out of Malik. There's been a lot of I mean, these giants, like, I know it's a tie. But that's gonna that's gonna help them in the season. Guys, we've been in one in one now. Yes. Like, if you like, I feel like the NFC East always has a tie. All right. That's a great point. That's a great NFC East. It's a tie. It's a tie. Also, it's a tie, but it's also a pretty weak division right now. I mean, none of the teams that played in this in this division this week, they none of them won. None of them won. They over four. I mean, over two. They played each other and then in a tie as well. I mean, the Dallas Cowboys, they they crap their pants against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles. We just talked about them losing, you know, in the last seconds of the game to the Jags. And then the New York Giants versus a Washington commanders a tie where it was a game of sloppy football. Like, it wasn't like, it was a phenomenal game. It wasn't like, well, these two teams, you know, one of them's gonna win the division, but the division is up for grabs. And this division, I feel like the the team that wins it is going to be like nine and eight or 10 and seven. They're kind of like the new NFC South. Am I correct? No, NFC NFC. Yeah, this is always like this though. Like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, right? I feel like that's the NFC South. NFC South, you can you can win it with a losing record. Yeah, you can win that what it losing losing record. I don't think there's going to be a losing record. Yeah, but it's kind of similar to that. It's going to be very similar how close it is. Who wins this division and it's going to go down to the wire of like, you know, the final, final weeks of the NFL. Yeah, you know, I feel bad for Jayden Daniels and the whole operation of the last play didn't get it off. You know, they they were asking him. Did he have it communicated in his head that he had to stop the clock? Couldn't in whatever they didn't get that right. You got to blame it on coaching as well. But look, you got to blame that that's situational awareness right there. And that comes with practice and training camp on a positive note, though, like the Washington commanders look like a completely different team when when Jayden's playing good. And you know, it's crazy as well. Jayden Daniels, he whatever did fractured his elbow or dislocated it, whatever he did to it. He was wearing the brace. And it was like, okay, Jayden Daniels is playing. Yeah, because he's the better quarterback. And even if he's hurt, it's the best option for the team. And it was like, yeah, but he's not going to run because he can't have that elbow hit. Well, let me tell you he tricked everyone, Matt. He rushed for over a hundred freaking yards. His game with the elbow, which they need it because it was a rain game. It was a rain game. It was a rain game as well. Like I was not expecting that at all. It was a rain game, though. Yeah, it was. So like you knew I knew he was going to run because no one wanted to throw the ball. It was coming down at certain points. Pretty hard. And the receivers are having a little tough time. Catch. I mean, it gets hard playing in the rain sometimes. It does. I think it was because he's been following Martian Lynch's advice. That's just my take. What was that advice? I don't know if I can say that on TV right now. Yeah, do the PG version. He said he should be cranking his hog more. With this other hand with his other more pg version Jeez, how do we make this bg? I got to work out your other. Yeah, you gotta work out Yeah, you gotta work out your other hand. Yeah, well you're a long long time. Yeah, well you're a long work out your other hand Yes, skin flute. Yeah, the privacy of your own home the beast mode. Oh, yeah, beast mode. Oh, we've always Beast mode no, no, take your chicken, young one. Yeah, you're a filter. Dang right. It's always great I mean nine nine penalties. It really is A lot of penalties in all these games. Yeah, James's post game speech was gonna be I wonder how it was after a tie because after a win That was gonna be electric. Yeah, it would would have been 14 back to the nation. I want to see what a genius wins in speech after a time Oh, I know what's it like come on James give it to us. There's got to be like a kiss in your sister analogy in there But like maybe it's like your bad like step-sister because it was like always looking forward It's always looking forward. He's always looking forward. Oh, James. We're always looking forward The tie is better than a loss. Hey, but you know, he's looking forward. All right You got he's so entertaining. I'm like let me just keep some playing and playing He's the man lived by the James died by the James before we move on guys Jules the last three ties in the NFL have involved the NFC Oh, yeah, this guy knows ties. I feel like like I remember McNabb having a tie. Yeah, there was cowboys tie up in there I feel like the NFC East always got a tie. It's a tie division tie division. Oh my goodness gracious tie dye tie dye baby Should we move on guys? Let's move on. How about another division royal ringer? Let's head up to the Field where Jordan love and Christian Watson took over 31 to seven green Bay beats a Chicago Bears Bussam after and Johnson talking a little smack this week. This is a good little petty little rivalry One of the best rivalries in all of football, but before we get going. I just want to give a Tribute to Mike Dicca. He's an original gangster at the tight end position He's the one who set the bar of what a tight end is he actually kind of created the position Yes, there were tight ends back in the day, but they were all blackers He's the first one that became a prolific receiver and yet over a thousand yards his rookie year He's the first tight end to be in the national football hall of fame and he played the game I played the position you know fiercely in both the past game and the run game I mean he looked for contact when he got the ball in his hands He mode guys over you know when he had the ball in his hands when he when he was getting yards after the catch One of the best just complete overall football players of all time and there wouldn't be You know the Groc without Mike Dicca. There wouldn't be you know mark Bavaro There wouldn't be bank coach, you know, there wouldn't be Antonio Gates Tony Gonzalez because Mike Dicca kicked the door open for all of us So I just want to pay my respects to him. Thank you for everything that you have done for the game of football my man Yeah, I said Robbie G love him and sad that he couldn't get it done And and it's sad how they lost because they got out physical The Green Bay Packers who've been soft all year came out with a purpose Punch Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears right in the lip and kept punching them until the game was over They were running the clock out in the first half. Okay, that this was This was this was bad. This was bad. Especially because you can't go out calling people out In your first press conference and then get whooped when you were the the first time you got waxed the first time You you've been giving points in Green Bay for like since like 98 or something 99 That was that was that was a wampin that was a wampin and and You know what what what I thought they should have went to I thought they should have went to Case Keenum earlier They didn't have it. Yeah, Case Keenum needed to be starting that game. No, they should have put them in the second half Yeah, they should have just been starting from the very you know, I think I think sometimes you get you get you get this is on the coaches See he got cute last game. He's on coaches right here and then he's just getting too cute getting too cute in the NFL is gonna get you You know nowhere eventually. You can't stay. You can't be too cute. It's a game about being mean and ugly not being cute Okay, and I've seen you know tip torn around being cute being beautiful There's gonna be a nasty linebacker defensive lineman. That's just gonna tear your ass up eventually But five turnovers five you got to turnovers by the Bears and you got to give it to Green Bay that I talked about them early in the pregame show and the Chicago Bears They're kind of taking over this rivalry. I mean they won the last two games a not Green Bay And did their season last year they knocked them out of the playoffs You know Ben Johnson was taking this rivalry. He was embracing and it felt like Michael floor was kind of like putting water on the Fire about this rivalry. He wasn't really giving anything to it and it was kind of showing you know, but they stepped it up You know they required about it throughout the whole week They took it to a whole another level. They played the best game all year and I talked about Green Bay They need to run the ball. They need to switch it up on the off and decide the ball They needed to you know create motions to keep the defense guessing for Chicago Bears They need anything to help them out. They need to use the screen and that's what they did They did it all with excellence. They kept the Chicago Bears defense guessing you know throughout the whole game They stayed on track for the most part throughout the home game plan Out throughout the whole game sticking to their game plan and they absolutely punch Chicago back in the face evening Even evening no Leveling that's what I'm going for leveling this rivalry back out. Yeah, I mean this was this is what the Green Bay Packers needed This this is a type of game that can give you an ignite they can ignite off of this they can use this a fellas look Yeah, we've been struggling on offense line, but we just out physical the Chicago Bears That has one of the best offensive lines in the league. We out physical them. We stopped them on third and shorts We picked them off. All right fellas like that's that's what this type of game is that's what this type of game is right here This is an Ignatian game and what about Jordan love like low-key ball in this year. Yeah, the name is not doing that great You know, especially at the beginning of the year now they got two wins in a row But like I think he's throwing two plus TDs in every game so far this year, right? Yeah, that's right Yeah, Watson Watson what a great game. He's he's proven them right on how much they paid him He's right 143 two touchdowns. They let two guys walk that had a lot of production and a lot of people were talking that and Watson had a huge game Golden's been having a couple good games. These wide receivers stepped up wide receiver stepped up And made some plays green Bay can step up and play like this on the off the side of the ball Yeah, they need to truly get the running back going where they can play like this You know and have these in these receivers that they've been waiting for to step up at to this level with Watson and Golden And they can play at this high of a level and that Micah Parsons come back watch out green Bay I mean, yeah, green Bay is gonna be be there in the end. All right now it's gonna be a big opportunity for him Don't be going out sucking it off next week Yeah, this guy was going to go and throw us wrong. Yeah, I mean, that's a big win. They just one teams up one teams down one team is But now we have teams sucking it off Before we move on surprising stat Ben Johnson now just two and seven against the NFC North It's only been there two years. I know but he talks like he owns a division. Yeah, you're right They they they won the division last I know they had they had some firepower and that's his that's this style of coaching He's a confident coach that wants to get the boys all riled up make them all believe One bad game. I mean, they're still banged up. That was a really bad game. It was a really bad game It was really bad. I mean, and when you have that bad of a game it raises a lot of question marks for us the year But it's still it's still early and they still have a really good run game They're still leading the league and running and literally majority of the teams in the NFL like probably 28 of them at least had one terrible game so far Yeah, oh, yeah, set the Niners. Well, I said I said 28 of the team. Yeah, yeah, there's like four that haven't robbed math guys math Should we move on? Let's move on. All right. Let's head to the Berg baby Pittsburgh at a big win over India today behind massive days from Jalen Warren Aaron Rogers and that Steelers O line they pulled away for a 34 22 victory. What you guys think of this one? You know what? This is the best I think I've seen the Steelers run game and offense aligned play in a while like they're offense We've I just I've been on TV for five years and we've always talked about you think you get the run game going If they can get the line going it would help them out so much I mean, they've gotten explosion plays from Warren. He's he's the spark plug to this whole thing and the receivers made plays Aaron Rogers has been freaking good. I think like they just haven't been able to get open a couple big plays by DK You know, who's number? Who's the other guy they have for who and then you got Fire Mooth Jenna Big Get Firemoo Touchdowns, right? To today Jalen Warren not some big reception And Ryan Mooth is stepping it up last year. He really is so so I think he was hurt throughout the whole year But he's had some you know big plays and some you know serious touchdowns for the Steelers this year so far Aaron Rogers Aaron Rogers a type of quarterback where look He's been thrown at these receivers and they've been dropped in balls Okay, he's gonna find someone that will catch him And for our movement catch him so Washington the big ass tight end he been catching them So Aaron's gonna go to guys that he knows will catch the ball. That's how Aaron thinks that's how I think he thinks and the Steelers what I think change tremendously for them if you you look at their two losses and you look at their wins, is that the offensive line was absolutely horrific. They were just nowhere to be found in the two losses or right, two losses that they had this year. And all the wins that they had, the offensive line was like, it was like a different unit, which they were switching up guys that I know this year as well, different positions to make sure they get the best combo they can possibly have. But when you can block for Aaron Rogers and this offensive for the Pittsburgh Steelers and give Aaron Rogers time, they're going to put up serious points. There's no doubt about it and they proved it and all their wins so far this year. And on top of that, they went out and got Rico Dottel as the running back in the free agency and it looked like it was going to be a running back by committee team as well. And then he got hurt, but Jalen Warren has shown that he can handle the low as the number one running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And that's huge for Aaron Rogers as well. Zero turnovers by the Steelers, only sacked once. Aaron was only sacked once. They could do better on third down, which they have to. But there are two for two on four, two for two in the red area. That's improvement and that stuff we haven't seen from a Steelers team since Big Ben. That's right. Like legit. Okay, Aaron Rogers, I think he's moving good. And he can still sling that thing. We want to know what's going on. I love his little piss off. Oh, it's a little attitude in my gun, each other's great. I love it. He's entertainment and it sucks when he loses, but like it's so much better when he's winning Aaron Rogers. I just love it. It just brings out the personality more. It's just the characteristic with, you know, with NM just comes out even more. I love it. But what's wild is it's like we're talking about Pittsburgh. It's like we don't even know who they beat. And it's a team that no one's been talking about all year long at all. Like they beat the Indianapolis Colts everyone. No one has any clue what the Colts record. I know one's talking about Daniel Jones at all this year. Like every time the Colts play, it's always, let's talk about the team that the Colts are playing. I don't know one thing about the Colts this year. And what's even going on with them? What's their record? They're just up and down. What's going on? They're up and down. They have a really good run game. Jonathan Taylor gets going. You know, they're, they're a team of swings. But no one's been talking about them at all. It's because they've played in London one time, you know, they've had some weird schedule stuff started off Oh, and two started off Oh, and two and they've been close games. You know, what is the deal with Indianapolis? I can't get it on these guys. I mean, we know the deal. It's Indy. Come on. I mean, bang banners for second place over there. Yeah. Come on now. What do you guys think? Was was was was Mrs. Erse on the sideline taking notes. She was down there today. The notes were back out on road, even in the rain on the road. Had the flat brim had on. How would you feel? What do you think? What is out there taking notes in your back pocket? I would praise her every day because I'm looking for a contract extension. That smart man. That's smart. That's a smart man. But if I'm a head coach, you're doing wonderful. You're doing wonderful. They, hey, wasn't I right jog that down? I was jot that down. I was open on that play. I mean, oh my god, how can you imagine have a personal meeting with Daniel Jones to get me the ball? Imagine that. Dude, that would be that would be a lot of pressure. Oh, yeah, just like for a coaching staff players. Well, it would be a lot of pressure if she's putting pressure on them after the game. Maybe I don't know. I don't know the logistics, but if she's just doing it for her own self, her own personal liking of the game of football and just taking notes, learning the game and not putting pressure on on the coaching staff on the players after, then then so be it. It could be a lot of pressure if, you know, she's making the calls from there on out while being on the side. It just reminds me of like, you know what I mean? When you go to counseling, like marriage counseling and like all of a sudden you're talking and then all of a sudden the guy starts to write and you're like, what are you writing? What the fuck are you writing? I didn't say anything wrong. Guys say something wrong. Like she should share her notes with the team. Yeah. Like what are we writing? The notes. I want to see these notes because there's got to be said. Yeah. That guy was extra sweaty. Oh my god. It is. That's crazy. It's crazy. That is crazy to me to have the owner on the side. I don't care. Any owner on the sideline taking notes in back pocket headset. I think there's only like eight headsets. Yeah. Owner on sideline heads enough, but I mean with notes with headset. That's crazy. The quote this week, which I don't know if it makes it any better or worse, but she's said, being a good leader is about listening. So this is an activity in listening. I don't know man. That goes back to my point. What I just said, maybe she wants to learn the game, understand what's going on. She's never been in this situation. Read the room. Yeah. Yeah. Read the room. Read the room. We got to read the room. I love that. I love that she's trying to read too hard. Me too. Well, come on, man. What do you think? All right. I don't love it. All right. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What are you writing over there? Pick. Yeah. Oh man. Erase that. Hey, don't. Yeah. You can use the eraser. Next game. Next game. That's great. How about we head to Foxboro, baby? Oh. Where the Patriots laid a beat down on the Raiders in front of the 2001 Super Bowl team 4517. Oh. That's back. Oh, well, when speaking of Foxboro, we're actually got we actually got a special treat right after this segment. We'll be speaking to someone from Foxboro live up to one of the best and most elitist offensive lineman and Patriots history Matthew light three times Super Bowl champion. So tune in. We'll be hearing Matthew light and all his knowledge and let me tell you. He's got knowledge, ladies and gentlemen. He's got knowledge about life knowledge about football and we'll be speaking with him very shortly. This is a wamping. This was just straight execution. Great. Great. Great. Great. Great. Kyle Williams, you know, what does he do really well? Oh, well, he runs fast. Let's get him the balls down the field. Let's get him one on one matchups running down the field. What job Douglas do? He does great. Let's hit him on crossers. What's Chisholm do? Oh, let's hit him on crossers. Josh McDaniels had Drake made cooking today. He had Drake made cooking today. There was a fumble by the backup running back who still had a couple big plays. There's a lot of penalties. There's a lot of stuff to clean up, but if you go up, put 45 on the scoreboard at home, that's a good day, especially compounding that after a big win in Buffalo. Like the Patriots are looking like they're getting confidence again. They got the jets coming up. They got a beat up Chicago. Look at them. Like they have confidence in Miami. They have it again. Like that stretch. And Josh McDaniel has been taking a beating as well. And I've been saying, hey, it's not Josh McDaniels. These players just aren't getting open, but hey, he had a, he did a great job scheming. You know, the strengths of the players that he has on the, on the off and side of ball. You know, scheming. They don't have a J Brown out there. They put up 45 points. But today was an example of every skill player playing to their strength and utilizing their skill set to the highest level. How about the defense? Unbelievable. Defense only give us 17 points. And the players, no guards on the Davis were inactive. They're two starting corners inactive. Like this Patriots team is for real again. They are the last two weeks they show that the first couple weeks were a mistake. But if you go back to last year, it's playing out the same way. You know, just slow starts. That's, that happens. I mean, you got to understand the chemistry of your team. You got to understand how it works. That's why it's a 17 game season. It doesn't matter how you start. It's how you finish. We have four for five in the red area. That's good. Two for two on four. That's good. 50% on third down. That's good. A lot of penalties. We got to clean up. Got to clean that. Are we worried about New England's health? No, I'm not because it's not serious injuries. Not yet. And they're all going to come back together and they're going to be playing together all at once on the field. That's when they're going to be very dangerous as well when they get all their star players back on the off the side of ball in defense side of the ball. And it's going to happen about week eight, nine, ten and they're going to be firing on all cylinders. Look, man, maybe that early, early season adversity was good for this team and they needed it. And we're not. I tell you right now that how far was their mind from thinking about going back to the Super Bowl two weeks ago? Oh my God. Couldn't have been any farther. And you need that sometimes. You need a little taste of reality. You need a little cement. You got to take a little teaspoon of cement to toughen up. That's what they've done. Unbelievable. The Raiders. All right. All right. Yes, they did. I saw what you're saying. 45 to 17. Come on, Richie. Come on, Rich. I saw you trying to fire up the Las Vegas Raiders. Well, you got to say now, we want to hear your response to this game, Richie. We love you, Richie. What was it? He was saying some shit about cheating, no, the Patriots or cheaters. And I just put on it. Tom ended on his little thing, like 45 minutes ago, I go, you know, losers make excuses. You know that, Richie. And then I just put three Super Bowl rings. Drop the mic, baby. Let's go. That's right, Jules. Charming them. What's up? I'm just, you know, I love Richie. We used to train together. But he's got it out for the Patriots. I can't believe I tried. I tried to get Richie to become a Patriot. And I'm telling you right now, Richie would have been a great Patriot as well. He would have loved it. He would have bought into the program. He would have been. He would have been a Patriot. Oh my god. Richie and Cognito would have been the biggest Patriot. Hey, hey, it's not too late. It's not too. I'm in the comments right now. What do they say? Richie responded. What do you say? He said spy gate twice and deflate gate. All right. Richie. Excuse me, excuse me, excuse his buttholes. They all smell darn right. They all smell fucking record broke. Get a new smell rich. His rant went the wrong way. Now he's just really going off. Oh, yeah. I was right. Come on. Backtrack. We love you. We love rich. We love you. Come on. Come on, dog. What a six back. That's our crazy little police. Hey, man. How's Ralph even loving that Sundays? Are you kidding me? He loves Sundays because Sundays is for football, but he also loves Sundays, the dog food. The guy goes absolutely absurd for it. He knows exactly what cabinet Sundays are in and after every single walk, he goes to it and minces and cries a little bit like me. Me. Me. Me. I deserve Sundays. I went on a walk. That's how much he loves it. And then also we're open up presents. Camille and I, I forgot why like two weeks ago and Ralph, he wanted a present. So we wrapped up some Sundays, you know, and some wrapping paper and he broke it open and he took his paw and he busted it right through the Sundays and started eating it like an absolute maniac. The guy loves it like no other. And he'll do anything. He'll, he'll sit for it. He'll give me paw for it. He'll, he'll sit for five minutes as long as he can get a little treat in a little taste of what Sundays is. And the one thing, you know, I, I remember I got on some other foods for Rocky and like they were the soft foods, the ones that you have to prepare and like they loved it, but they love this just as more. And they're happy. And let me tell you, Ralph, he loves all food, but there's levels to how much he loves, you know, that particular food. And with Sundays, he, he knows what natural food is. He knows, you know, what real ingredients are. You can give him a dog treat that has, you know, BS ingredients in it. And of course, he's going to eat it, you know, it's Ralph. He, he eats everything. He's a French bulldog, but he doesn't go as crazy as he does for Sundays for dogs. He shows what passion, how much more he loves Sundays compares compared to other dog food.

Almost four member of the Patriots Hall of Fame and legendary locker room prankster. He and Rob have something very special planned, which we'll hear about very soon. That's right, baby. Let's get on mat light. Matthew light, buddy. How you doing? Gentlemen, we are good. I'm reporting live from Patriot place where in case maybe we're breaking news here, but the Patriots won in a big way, just so you guys know, did they? Who did they be? Who did they beat the Raiders? Pretty sure they were playing a team led by someone not named Tom Brady, but who may have a problem watching film come Monday, because his Raiders didn't do so hot. Now, this is a perfect segue into the 2001 season where you guys beat the Raiders in the snowball to go to the Super Bowl. You guys were celebrating that beautiful Super Bowl, this beautiful Sunday. How was that with the fellas? Matt, tell you what, it was great seeing all the guys and so many guys from 25 years ago that, you know, you don't think about every day and, you know, we played with a lot of people, right? You guys think of back on your careers and the people that you played with the different eras, right? Whether it was like early in your career or late in your career. And for me, I was a rookie. I didn't know if the ball was pumped or stumped. And I was told that on a regular basis, but man, it was great seeing everybody. And I got to tell you, A V, Adam Venetary, the legend himself, he put on a heck of a performance at halftime, great speech, great moment for the fans and for all the guys and attendance and man's been a heck of a weekend. Now, did he crack any Bill jokes like he did at the Pro Football Hall of Fame? You know, he didn't crack Bill jokes, but he laid it on pretty thick for Raider Nation. I mean, he talked a lot about how successful he was while they were all sitting there watching in years past. Yeah, I saw and he said something about, hey, I thought we owned the Raiders back in those days, you know, in the early 2000s, but we literally own the Raiders now. Thank you to Tom Brady. It was pretty sad. Adam Venetary, he's great at speeches. He's great at the deliveries. And overall, he's a great guy too. Unfortunately, I never got to play with him. Matthew, I really wish I could have, but I just, you know, I was just too young of a young buck, you know, in that era. And just meeting him throughout, you know, the last couple of years, a phenomenal guy, hilarious as well. But what I really want to know, this team, Matthew, you guys won the championship, but it was your rookie year. What was rookie Matthew like like back then? Oh, probably full of joke, buddy. Wow, you listen visually, it was odd because I go back and I look at some of those pictures, right? And, you know, look, you think back to your guys' careers when you had injuries and you were dealing with like braces and things that you wore. And I look at myself in 2001, I was one of those guys that had the big thing on the back of the shorter pads. Neckroll that like, create like the hump. Yeah, the neck roll that rolled into the middle of the major look tougher than you really are. Hey, listen, you're not kidding, man, it was like full of soap, right? It was so silly looking. And, you know, I think for me, too, man, I remember my rookie year. And, you know, the hazing, if you want to call it that in a good way, the just messing with the rookies and making us perform, I loved every second of it. So every time I had a veteran that was like, all right, rook, get up and sing a song. I'm like, yeah, let's sing a song. You know, so I look back on that early, you know, first year being a rookie with a lot of fond memories. And of course, when you when you win a Super Bowl, it helps. Now, what was your rookie skits all about, Matt? Because I know you probably took that very seriously. What were the rookie skits that year? What was there a film of anything? How did it? How did the rookie skits go? Yeah, you're going to love this, man. So back at in 2001, who wants to be a millionaire was a big deal, right? So it was one of these game shows and maybe you guys, yeah, one of the best shows of all time. So you guys remember so that we did our version of the Patriot, who wants to be a millionaire. And I remember one of the greatest parts of the Patriot, who wants to be a millionaire came when we asked a question, who is the guy that's Bill's assistant? What's his real job? Of course, we're talking about Ernie Adam, who you guys have, you know, I know you guys have talked to him. You love Ernie. We all love Ernie. We have no idea what Ernie does. So great. I mean, he's an analytics guy, 14 years. The genius behind all the madness. He was the genius behind the madness. And he was the guy that great investments drove the same Toyota Corolla for like 37 years, right? I mean, like Ernie is a legend. But we used to bust a lot of chops. And I think the who wants to be a millionaire was a was a big hit back during my rookie season. Now, have you have you pulled any good pranks lately? I did. I pulled off a prank that I like to call Operation Fluffy. And I look forward to talking to you guys about that. But it was a big hit. A lot of fun took about a year and a half for the planning. And when you guys see this thing and it's entirety, you're going to be impressed. Oh my God. Did you see that video that's going viral of the 2001 locker room after the super, the snowball? Yeah. What do you remember about that? No, you haven't. You haven't seen it. Well, what do you remember about the snowball game? Man, I remember a lot. I remember I ran over a dog on the way to the game, which I know, I know sounds crazy, right? What was it snowing then already? Oh, man, it was there. Yeah, there was snow on the ground and I was heading to the game. Okay. And a dog just happened to come out. And I literally, I know I hit the dogs. I filled it in my car and I stopped and I get out. And I'm like, Oh my gosh, I just got to get to the stadium. You know, I can't believe this is happening. And a guy comes down who's blown his driveway off. And he's like, you good, buddy. And I'm like, no, man, I think I just ran over somebody's dog. And I described the dog. He's like, Oh, it's my neighbors. And then the neighbor comes out and he's like, Oh, no, the dog's fine. Man, we're good. Just go to the game. You got a lot to worry about. Don't worry about the dog. And I'm like, I actually just ran over your dog, bud. Well, at least the dog was okay. Thank God. That's the most important part. You must have been driving really slow, which is good. It was snowing out. You're a responsible human being. And we appreciate that about you, Matthew. And we see well, listen, by the way, yes, I remember a lot about that game. But I would tell you this much that that game was was a wild game in a lot of respects. But I remember when the kick-ap in the first kick. I remember everybody going out there and clearing a path and thinking, there's no way that's legal, right? And then, and then the kick happens and, you know, and then, and then of course, before that, there was like controversy with a tuck rule and there were so many aspects of that game that didn't make any sense to me. The thing that made a lot of sense is that when it was all set and done, we were heading to the Super Bowl. And what a moment that was, man, for everybody to realize that together for Patriot Nation, fans, we're in the old Fox real stadium. I mean, it was very nostalgic. Well, hey, Matt, that's the only sense you needed to know is that you were headed to the Super Bowl. I've been there plenty of times. Is that I didn't know what was going on, especially after the AFC Championship game. My first time going to Super Bowl. I just knew I injured my ankle, but I just knew we were going to the Super Bowl that year. So everything just made sense totally in that moment. And you're at Patriot Place right now. You're at the game. They just blew out the Raiders. What are your thoughts on the New England Patriots through the first five weeks so far, Matthew? Come on. Let's hear it. Spell the beans. I think it's the way that it's going to be from here on out given the rules of engagement, right? So, look, you guys can talk about a lot of things from week to week and we can debate why things are what they are, but everything comes back to the same situation. And that is, in the National Football League, these guys don't have the opportunity to practice themselves in the playing condition. So when you think about the start of the season, just know as a fan or somebody that is betting on a game or whatever you're into it for, that you're never going to know what the team is capable of until we get to about now. Because now is when they've actually had enough reps that they can judge where they actually are. So where are the New England Patriots? Well, right now they're in a really good place and they're taking the necessary steps to get better week to week. But these teams can't do that for week one. It's just not possible anymore, right? So if they can continue to do what they've done to get to now, this is going to be another very successful season for Mike Brable and this team and all the work that they're putting into it. But, you know, the other thing is these guys break at a much higher rate today, right? Because they don't practice. So the team stays to health, yes, and they can continue to build from week to week will be the team that has a chance to go and deep into the playoffs. And hopefully that's the case with this group because they got talent. Yeah, they got talent and, you know, specifically, how do you think their o-lines been playing? There's, you know, they've been the subject of a lot of conversation going into before the bills game, all last playoffs, Campbell getting injured today. How do you think the O-line has progressed here to week five? Yeah, look, I mean, it's under a lot of scrutiny. It should be. I mean, the way the season is the last year, the way that it started out, you know, early, there's going to be a lot of people to continue to have question marks because, you know, the injuries continue to happen. I think that they're a unit that's coached really well, and I think, I think this, not only they coached well, they got enough talent to be, you know, a team that can be a playoff contender, they can give Drake enough time that they've proven that. The injuries are an issue, but what I love about the offense is a guy like Josh McDaniels, right? And to take those things into consideration, and he has enough uniqueness to him to cater a game plan that'll be in their best interest, and not every offensive coordinator can do that for their team. I think Josh is uniquely qualified for that, and he's going to need to do that because there's going to continue to be, you know, the injuries up front like there are across the lead. Yeah. Why don't you guys tell us what you got planned in November? Yeah. Number eight, I believe. Well, Seth breaking down the New England Patriots, Matthew, and a little background about Matthew Light before we get into what Matthew is doing on here and what we have planned for November 8th when I go into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Is that Matthew Light gives back, man? He really does. He's had had the Light Foundation for quite some years now. He gives back to the kids. He's always throwing foundation parties to raise money to help better lives of kids, you know, the give them a better chance to succeed in life. And he's been doing it for quite some time. He dedicates his life. He dedicates his time tremendously over over all the years he's been in New England. Matthew, we appreciate we thank you for, you know, everything that you do for the community. And now, please explain what you are doing now with me through a raffle for the Patriots Hall of Fame on November 7th and 8th. Well, listen, brother, I appreciate that, man, and I feel very fortunate to have been able to play with a lot of great humans like both of yourselves, right? You know, Jules, love your brother, man, you know, Grant, you know, what you guys both represent is what I like to say is the special human club, you know, for my life, right? And the people that I've been fortunate enough to meet. And so I like to pass that on. And I also like to do things that celebrate awesomeness. And so we're going to be celebrating you, Grant, as you take your steps into the Hall of Fame here in Patriot Nation on November 8th, it's going to be one heck of a day. And listen, I think for everybody in attendance, they know the spirit of the Grant, right? They understand that you're all about the vibe and the good times, but you earn the right to be there every time.

Two premium tickets to the Hall of Fame ceremony, a private meet and greet with Big Old Rob celebrating his great weekend, two luxury sweet tickets to the game against the Green Bay Packers, which will be a good game.

And one winner will be randomly drawn on Thursday, November 5th this year, 2026 at 5 p.m. Eastern. Hey, Matt, I appreciate all the love and we've had a special bond since I've gotten into the league. We're trading blocking defense events to go up to the linebacker, tossing people to the ground together. Man, we really formed a bond on the field and off the field. And we decided when we were playing in a pickle ball charity event this year that, hey, I looked at Matt, I was like, Matt, I want you to introduce me at the Patriots Hall of Fame. Like, isn't that what happens? Like someone introduces you, someone helps you up and then brings you out on stage. I was like, I want you to be the guy and Matt, you lit up with happiness and you were like, I will, of course, be that person. I was like, that couldn't have been a better fit. So I hit up Stacey James. I'm like, yo, who's the one who introduces me out on stage? Like I really want Matt, you like to do it. And Stacey James right back to me. It's Mr. Craft dot, dot, dot, and I'm like, yeah, I text Matt Lightback, I go, yeah, you ain't doing it. I'm sorry, buddy. It would have been great though. It would have been great. But that just shows, you know, our special bond that we've had, you know, throughout the years, since I got drafted in 2010 to the New England Patriots, man, and Matt who also brought me under his wing as well, taught me, you know, how to play in the run game, how to toss defenders, tick them off a little bit by stepping on his feet and rookie training camp. But he forgave me, which is what it's all about. You know, you got to forgive your teammates if you want to get to the next level with them. But hey, man, Matt, we appreciate you being on here. We appreciate everything you do in the community. You're a prolific player. You're one of the best to do it in Patriots history. And it's going to be an absolute honor. When I join the Patriots Hall of Fame on November 7th with my buddies there already Patriot Hall of Famers, Julian Adelman and Matthew Light in attendance. I love you, both. And it's just an honor to be in your guys' class, man. Thank you. I mean, geez, that's, that's great. I'm going to start crying because I mean, you're, you're, we sat here and we talked about oh, one, Matt's rookie year. But Matt was the kind of guy in the veteran during our rookie years that like he was the kind of guy where he saw how overwhelmed everyone is when you enter the Patriots building. And what Matt would do is he would bring a little fun. He would bring a joke. He put his arm around you and say, Hey, little guppy, you're going to be all right. And he didn't bite you over to his house to play with all his toys. Like cook your dinners, like that's the kind of guy Matt was. And that's why we love doing things for you for the Matt Light Foundation. And it's, this is going to be an awesome weekend. November 8th, everyone go to what is the thing ultimate.

We love you all the comms. Matt, thank you again, man. We love you, dog. Bellas, I love you guys both. And I'm going to tell you you're both in the same category in my book. You're both Hall of Famers. Of course, you both did life the right way. We all had as much fun as you could possibly have doing the jobs that we did and we did it with passion and purpose. And if you can walk away from anything in life, no one that you gave it, everything that you had and you have fun doing it, then it's a win. It's a win. Always spitting philosophy. That's why we love you. Smart. One of the smart, the lineman, they're the smartest guys on the team. People don't realize the offense alignment are book guys. They got like, eh, they do a bunch of reading together smartest and also strongest, strongest, naturally strong, farm strength. Like and we had like really cultured offensive lineman. Like Conley could cook everything. Light always had toys and activities. There were so many things to do with the lineman. I miss them. They can do it all. They can do it, all right. Never mind. They can run around. They can run around. I love you, Matt. Matt, thanks for coming on. You have a good one. Check. You're in LA with us for the season. How's it been living out here? Oh, it's been great. I actually booked a home on Airbnb out here so I could be close to you guys and produce a show in studio all season long. Wow. I'm like an angelino at this point. Roman around Santa Monica, walk in, getting steps in, watching ball, all that stuff. That's awesome. With football season in full swing, there are fans traveling all over the country to catch games. And if you're heading out of town, when a big game comes to your city, you could list your place on Airbnb and make some extra cash while fans are in town. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb dot com slash host. Guys, she was step off the field and hit the timeline. Let's let's go on in the main. Let's go on in the main corner, Jack. This is where you thrive. Oh, this is my favorite thing. You know, I am chronically online for better or for worse, in this case, for better guys. First and foremost, this happened Thursday night. What do you think about old Dac here? You see this? Yeah, he was walking down the block. The guy says embarrassing. This was a, uh, a Cowboys staffer of some sort down in the tunnel. What do you guys think of this? Have you ever experiencing every experience anything remotely like this? I was never been caught. Yeah. It's never been caught. This has happened plenty of times. Yeah. You know, after a loss in the NFL, plenty of times. This one's just caught on camera here. Pro when it comes to all this stuff. Right. I think they just caught him. He was a tough one. It was a bad time. I mean, you really can't blame. Is this a worker as well for the Dallas Cowboys? It was just someone that would happen to be a tunnel in the tunnel. Yeah. We have not identified the, uh, but the, the culprit just, but here we go. Here we go. He was right. It wasn't embarrassing loss. And this just shows the passion of the fans. And the fans didn't have the passion. Well, the NFL wouldn't be where it's at right now. And when you're beat down like this and you're not playing at a high level, you're going to, you're going to have to take the backlash. It's understandable. I've taken the backlash plenty of times in my NFL career. Julian, you have, when things aren't going right, you know, you're going to take that. That's why you're getting paid the big bucks. You got to understand when things don't go right and you're not performing at a high level in this league and you want to be paid $60 million. Well, expect fans to be coming after you. And it was, it was, it was, it was, it was a PG version as well. It wasn't anything bad. It was just, that was embarrassing. Like true. And 20 years ago, guys were saying way worse. Way worse. That's what it means. It was a better embarrassing. That's all. So that point, guys, like, what did you think of the way? Right. To that point, Rob G, what did you think of the way Dak handled it? He went and got some security guy and ratted on the dude. I go, go get him. I mean, shit, it's, it's 2026, man. We got to get that off off the phone. It's true. No videos. Get it off. Get it off. That phone. Yeah. I mean, I mean, Julian, would you have ratted on someone like that? No, I probably would have been so pissed. I want to just have F you. I was just going to say, how would you just talk? You just talk something back. Yeah. I don't know. Have you, I'll show you next week or something. Same. Like, after you, like, hold my job. Go wash it. No, no, no, no, no, no matter what I'll go. Okay, I can tell you this. That same guy, they start waiting. Yeah. Dak walks by again. You know, with a couple of victories underneath his belt. A guy will be, you know, Dak, I love you, man. I love not embarrassing. I love you. I want you to be part of my family. I love you. I'll do whatever you want. So just win. That's right. Just win, baby. Winning is Kyle Pits. Kyle Pits. Kyle Pits, all we got are these Falcons. Sunday night football. I love the Falcons, man. I am drinking the Falcons Kool-Aid order than anyone who has advanced YouTube time coach of the year. Coach, you have a chance in a million year. I mean, a quarterback, like, it reminds you, a quarterback makes that difference. Like, I'm talking to quarterback, big of a difference. So like, it shows that it is a quarterback league. It's true. When the Atlanta Falcons look horrible. The first two games. And then all of a sudden, Michael Penex Jr. Turn the ball over seven times the first week. It's not saying bad. He's taking care of football. They got an insane run game. They have an insane offensive line. They got a lot of great skill guys that they've unbelievable. Like, they're a decent team. I remember going into this year talking about Kevin Safansky, like, that's probably one of the best jobs in a winnable division. Yes. A great run game. Sign me up. We'll see how it goes. We'll scout dirty birds. All right. Next meme. Moving on, a big story around the NFL this week was the Marvin Harrison junior trade. But then, it was a, it was a wild announcement in the fact that the Shepter comes out here and says he's traded. Then we go to who we're waiting around for days and days and days. A great meme came out of this. Someone said, M H J can't even get proper separation from the Cardinals. Ouch. A little bit of a dig. A little bit of a burn. Oh, man. That's a serious dig right now. I went and viral in the mean time. But we did find out he is going to Houston. I messing with him because I know. I know. Yeah. Oh, senior. Yeah. We do not maybe we move on. Yeah. I think we move on senior might come. Oh, oh, oh, senior. I don't want to. I feel like I'm not messing with no hair. Car washes. I just got to just say it just seemed like he didn't want to be an Arizona car. No. So I think this is, you know, positive for both the organization and for Marvin Harrison here, junior. So I think it's going to be a great thing that he can resurrect his career down in Houston with CJ Strout in the Houston Texans. They can use them as well. So this is a second chance. And I think it's great for all parties. Yes. He didn't forget how to play football. Yeah. And to tell you the truth, he still performs, you know, he, I mean, not at all times, but he was performing. He had some serious games. He has how many touchdowns in his career in the first two years already. So this guy can play football. He can play ball. I mean, just put him in a situation where he wants to be because it didn't seem like he wanted to be a cardinal at all. So let him play ball now in Houston. And he can turn this thing around. Yeah. And nothing but respect and love to the Harrison family. Nothing, but we love the hair. So we love them. We love the big subordinates. Yes. Marvin Harrison. I will pay rent. Me too. I will pay my rent. I'll do whatever. We love him. I'll grow a really nice manicured. I will pay my rent. He loves them too. That's right. And we love paid. We love I will pay my rent to Marvin Harrison senior. Yep. You know, heartbeat on time every time, every time, moving on here, guys, this is a, this is a wild one. You know when Magic Johnson, co-owner of the commanders is getting involved in the late game play calling and clock management. He says, I'm in total disbelief. My commanders had such poor clock management in today's overtime game against the giants. All we had to do was kick the field goal. And we would have won the game. Magic in classic magic fashion. Just tweeting something that's like overly earnest and slightly obvious, but taken to the timeline. What you guys think of this? And also truly unnecessary. It's not like this organization needs a ball for him to, you know, profit. I'm the guy. Plenty of money already. I know. He's got one of the best after, you know, careers after, you know, after careers of playing in the NBA. The guy is just phenomenal in the business world, but just puts his two cents in it. It kind of makes it hilarious. It makes it, it makes it obvious, even more obvious because the Washington commanders first off, every team should know clock awareness, you know, going into the regular season. That's worked on and that's established in training camp. That's established in the off season. When it comes down the clock management, it should never be, you know, or it should never be unproperly handled. Yeah. Just you're in the NFL, you're a pro. You should always be able to know how to handle situations is what I'm trying to say. Even who probably isn't like in this tweet, who's at Dan Quinn. He's not, he's one of the owners, you know, and imagine about no clock management. I like magic Johnson just hopped on ownership, but he's just throwing his tweets out now. He's always done that. Yeah, he's doing it. Yeah, it was a random tweet here and there. Kind of always stating the obvious like an exclamation point, like, oh, thanks, magic. Yeah, that's not good to hear from. It is not great. It's not like he's ever breaking news. He just states the obvious he does. Which he's just he's just kind of putting an exclamation point on it, like, hey, something's going to have to change eventually. Yeah, with the Lakers, right? Couple times with the Lakers, Lakers, Dodgers. He's been there a few times. I mean, this guy owns the Dodgers, Lakers. I think he's part of the and the and the and the commanders. Oh, he's magic. I told you. He's magic. That is moving on. We got a great one here from our man, Aaron Glenn. Are we seeing this one guys in a wet one in the metal hands? Aaron Glenn gave us another great meme back to back seasons of great ones. He shakes the challenge flag for the ref. He's like, come here. I got something for you like a like you're like a treat for the dog or something here. Oh, this is just something else, man. Aaron Glenn, the gift that keeps on giving a big win. Big win. Look, look at them jets. Man, they're having fun. They're winning ball games. They're being competitive. They're making memes, making memes. Go, go get you a meme, Aaron Glenn. You know, this is going to come back after him, though, eventually, I mean, his meme when he was doing the high knees from last season. That became like a touchdown dance when, you know, a player with a score when they're facing the New York judge. Now, I feel like that's going to become another touchdown celebration. Like, you're going to, you're going to do like, what is that? He's like hitting the ties in you. The ties touchdown dance when you're playing the New York guys now. He fully was hypnotizing the ref there with the challenges like the challenge flag. You're going to change the call. You were over to win over turn the call. But is that technically a challenge? Cause don't you have to throw the challenge flag? He threw it. Oh, he threw it. Oh, he threw it after he hit the first. You got to hit the change the call. Hey, come over here. Come over here. Oh, man. That was a great addition to the meme corner. We had a ton of memes as we, some we didn't even have time to get to, but keeps it in our way. I can't get to all of them. No, we hear all day. It's time for NASCAR. Let's get to the track. We got to go fast. NASCAR means go fast. NASCAR offense. No, I don't got to go fast. Go Texans Titans 26 to three Houston wins it. Titans got to get a new football team. I don't think Robert Salah is going to be their head coach after this year. No, I don't think it's that one. We all right. I'll take that back. My back. I'm just saying I don't think he knows how to find a new way to fire up is something got to get something and huge for the Texans. That's the first Dolphins 34, 31, 24 since the 90 wins this thing down in the heat. A lot of turnovers for them bangles. That defense still performing. Hey, it's still getting a done on the road. 31 points. Come on. Let's go, bangles. Get home. Let's go, Joey. Be happy. Joe a little too close to the end. Little too close. Possibly the worst team in the NFL, but also the worst best team. They know how to stay competitive. And I think they'll be good in the future with this worst best team. Browns jets. Jets win this thing. 1712. How about them? Jets. That was a big win. Rain game, ugly game. Browns couldn't get it done. They bottled up that offense. I was a big win for the Jets. I'm sorry. The Browns are just browning again. They probably chance they're making to it to the Super Bowl is on the toilet. Lions, Cardinals on the desert to the Super Bowl. 45, 21 to treat wins. Yeah, I'm a desert. This was a big win for the Lions. The offense needed this and their defense need to play this well. Like just for a confidence factor for themselves. This is true. This is what the offense prolific Jared golf, Sam LaPorta in the play action. Loving dome, baby. Broncos, Chargers, 23 17 Denver. That body language by Herbert bad. He just had fun right now. That's all I'm going to say. I think there's a little fun change on the offensive side of the ball. Doesn't look fun all in five. Now it doesn't look fun. Football looks miserable for them, but it's not miserable off the field for just partly miserable on the field, happy off the field. That's actually a first I've ever I've ever that's the first time I've ever heard that one. I like that. Usually if you're miserable on the field, you're miserable off the field, but he's miserable on the field, but very happy off the field. I don't take my work out with me. Oh, man. And last but not least Vikings, Saints, 23 13 Minnesota ones that their offense, the Vikings offense is starting to click, starting to click. I mean, I know it's only 23 points, but we're starting to play. You got to start somewhere. Yeah, they scored a couple. Didn't they have a couple touchdowns and a couple of touchdowns? They're slowly, I mean, Kyler got dynamic plays in them. And you saw them. Those third and 10s. This dude sneaks out on the third and 10 all the time. Those legs working. Julian too long to answer that and ask her. So I got nothing on that side. Vikings five. I know. I love it, baby. Be flow. All right, guys. Game ball. Let's get it out. Let's go, baby. And foremost, employee of the week. We got lots of big performances. I'm going with Jalen Warren. Jalen with steel 80 B 188 total yards, two touchdowns. He was a spark plug. He's been he's been spark pluggy for a lot of this year. And if they can get that run game continually going, Aaron's going to cook. Yep. Let him cook, Robbie G who you got. I'm going with Christian Watson. The Green Bay Packers needed this game. They needed this offense to start cooking and Christian Watson stepped up to the plate six receptions, 148 yards and two touchdowns. He's worth every penny of this new country. Oh, I love it. And then Robbie G. We got having a rough Monday and oh, rough Monday incoming. Let me tell you, I had a rough Monday last week. I did way too much. Jules had a long Sunday, you know, took a red eye over to New York. My Monday was rough, but I got a done still. You know, you got you got to hit the sound I hit the hot bath, but my brain was hurting, but I'm back now, but who's going to be the rough Monday incoming tomorrow? I'll give you, I'll let you take this one first, Julian, because I'm going Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson's got a rough Monday. I mean, you can't call guys out in press conference, chirp them in the week, and they get blown. You can't do that. That's going to be rough one. And he's got mental toughness. He'll be good. It'll be fine from this, but that's going to be a rough Monday, yep, especially with that Chicago media, Chicago. She got it on him. He gets out of the shout down, talking about media. I'm going to go with Dan Quinn. I mean, you got the Washington media. I mean, he blew a 14 point lead in the fourth quarter, mismanaging the clock in overtime as well. And on top of it, he's already got magic Johnson up his phone hole. That's that's a rough Monday. That is a rough Monday. That is a sore Monday. Oh my, oh my, oh, moving on. The Matthew Slater teamer of the week. We saw some great special teams this week. But Joel is one team, man. We've been saying it all day. We got to go with the Jaguars. I mean, I'm here. Abdullah, baby. Abdullah had my 53 yard kickoff return. Win that thing to set up that game winning kick by little, which was like 56 yards, bro, or 57 yards. That's it. That's not an easy kick on. That was in London, in London, a wet field. No, I think they had turf or turf turf. He was two for two. And they had a backup long snapper. Yep. I mean, everyone had to raise their game. Everyone on that kickoff unit, just the jagged special team unit as a whole help them win that game. Offense wasn't performing particularly well. Defense was, it was a tough, ruffy kind of game. And that special teams came through big man, 50, 56 out the gate right there to set them up for that game winner for little. Touched it perfectly. Oh, what a good job. Unbelieve great job, man. Special teams tip your cat, for sure. And we got to give a little. Hey, by the way, honorable mention, you could go. You could have went with that Vikings again. Dude, Matt Daniels. Matt Daniels, special teams coordinator, man. That mile's price had two really good punts, two two kickoffs. Right was three for three with the 55 long unreal. I mean, they got special teams over there. And I was talking to Matthew Slayer. He said, Koc, he said, what he learned? You got to stop talking to him because he's going to want residuals for having Matthew Slayer. I know. He definitely, but he kept on. We'll pay him off. We'll pay him. Have an old conno. He said he want a when he, what he learned from the Patriots, it is time the Patriots. You got to have great special teams have to and boy, with the Matt, with Matt Daniels, special teams coordinator over there. I believe he was with bones from that bone system. They got guys, they, they, they're making plays every week in special teams, but this week Jaguars don't write. I love it. And last, but certainly not least guys, who do you give your big old W2? I got to go with the Green Bay Packers. That was like for, that was kind of like the Patriots last week, even though it wasn't on the road. But to beat the bears that were favored at your house, the way they beat them out physical them. That was, that was, that was a big win. Protect this. Congratulations Packers. Now go do something with the baby. They would go Laflore. You're moving up the rankings in our Laflore power rankings. I'm, I'm going to go with the New England Patriots. I was a big Vegas writer. It was a big win. And I want Julian to explain to everyone why it was a big old W. Why Julian? Why was it a big win for him? I mean, I want you to tell the world, you're Mr. Foxboro. Well, if you have to, to, you're not even in Foxboro today, but you're Mr. Foxboro. Well, I'll tell you right now, it was a huge win because why was it a huge win? I'm letting you go because I want you to be allowed to be allowed back in the building there when you go back. Well, it was great to be able to compound you. Let me answer the question. You let me answer the question. I want to keep interrupting you. It was great to be able to compound a good offensive performance after getting confidence last week in Buffalo and then therefore having a really good week this week, three touchdowns for Drake May, like that's another confidence builder. We're at the learning, learning our team stage of the of the season right now and right now they're learning that they have some mental toughness going and beating the crap out of the raiders without any of their DB's with their best receiver not out there with the offense alignment getting hurt, like they showed tremendous mental toughness. That's a big win for the Patriots. All right. And this is a question that everyone wants answered and you're going to answer this question for everyone. Did Mike Wrable show the Las Vegas raiders and Tom Brady, who daddy is, oh, I don't know how to say that question. I said, yes, I said, yes, I don't want to answer, they must have been a, Wraves must have been hearing in cognito, I'm just, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm just asking the question of what, I mean, I'm wanting me to, I don't know you're talking about that. Yeah. Tom did have a dog in the fight, he's the owner of the Las Vegas raiders had one in there. He had a kid, uh, he had a little shawawa in this fight after that, wampin darn right, baby. All right. There was no rockier Ralphie. I can tell you that. I'll tell you right now. Fernando Mendoza looked pretty good. Oh, Fernando Mendoza. Let me get a debut. What do you think? Of course he had for not even knowing like he was going to even play in the game. A poisey show was phenomenal. I was proud of him. Now, how many more, how many more performances like this on the offense for the raiders until they put them in that was the spark for from when are they put, when are they putting them in, uh, Kirk cousins is going to start again. And the next time they tank like they just tank versus the Patriots is when Fernando is going to take over for rest of the year. Okay. That's my guess. All right. If he continues to be playing at a high level, like he has been throughout beginning of the season, well, then he's going to stay in. But if they have another game like they just had, it just shows that Kirk can only take him so far. We might as well just make it the Mendoza show now. The man. Go wait a minute. Right. Yeah. I still want you to answer. Yeah. I mean, yeah. They showed him who that is. I mean 45 to 17. Hey, what's this? What's this? I hear about Mendoza having a girlfriend too. He does. We're not a gossip show. All right. All right. What a week. It's fun. Man, we'll see you Thursday for an all-new episode.
