PMS 2.0 1606 - Adam Schefter, Scottie Scheffler, LA Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk
181m 15s
The transcript covers a lively sports talk show focused on NFL training camp developments, particularly joint practice fights and injuries. The hosts discuss the inevitable brawls during joint practices, citing a massive Saints-Cowboys fight as an example, and debate their impact on team cohesion. Kirk Cousins’ interaction with Max Crosby is highlighted, where Cousins requested protection of his arm while accepting physical play. Injury reports dominate: Christian McCaffrey has muscle tightness (non-serious), Jaden Higgins tore his ACL, Alvin Kamara has a sprained MCL, and Tyler Biadasz suffered ACL damage, prompting Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh to express emotional disappointment but emphasize team resilience. Contract talks are analyzed for Vita Vea (positive shift), Joey Porter Jr. (quiet but pending), Christian Gonzalez (stalled), and Baker Mayfield (feeling disrespected by a short-term offer). The Seahawks’ pursuit of Terry Arnold is complicated by his commissioner’s exempt status. Scottie Scheffler joins to discuss his recent win, new driver, and FedEx Cup playoff strategy, aiming for a historic quadruple crown. The show also humorously explores the "hard out" broadcasting transition, stressing professionalism. Overall, the episode balances injury concerns with excitement for the upcoming season, praising player unity and talent while acknowledging the physical toll of training camp.
That was a hard out, and this is a nice welcome to our Humbler Go! The Draft Kings Thunderdough on this Big Ball Top Wednesday August 19th, this just starts now. Football! It is fantastic. We have another round of preseason games kicking off tomorrow night on ESPN as the Monday Night Football Crew has their first game of the year. The Raiders and the Texans will do battle on a field that will be televised as they do battle right now on a field and joint practices. We got joint practices across the board, and there's been some big old fights now. Chuck Pogano sent me a text this morning. He said, "There was never any joint practice fights whenever we were coaching. We were with the 9-year NFL Vet Deris Day Brothers here. We practiced with the Lions, I believe, and he said he also did a practice with maybe the Bears. And he said, "You have a meeting with all the leaders, both teams, both coaches, everybody in one room. We're not fighting. You're going to get kicked out of practice." What happens if everybody on the roster gets in a fight? Have you seen the clips out of their Saints in the Cowboys? I think everybody on the field got into a brawl. Now, I'm not going to bury it. I saw Lewis Riddick and I respect Lewis Riddick. He's going to be a General Manager one day, so I think the way he views things has been. This is inevitable. I think joint practices, a fight, is inevitable. Now, Chuck Pogano told me this morning that I was at a couple of joint practices and there wasn't a fight at them. So shout out to that team's leadership. I think this is an 85% outcome somewhere. Now, obviously this is a full melee. I mean, and there was a German suplex by a Steiner. What? There was a helmet call. I mean, there was so many things that took place in this joint practice. So, obviously, whenever you have that many people buying in, these are two teams with good cultures. Okay. Dallas Cowboys running sprints after practice on their own accord. Obviously, if one of them gets in a fight, they're all going to come. New Orleans Saints, everybody's talking about how happy they are, how together they are. One of them gets in a fight. They're all together. There's some good we can take away from these fights. This seems like a together part. Okay, this seems like a group that is very together. Now, obviously throwing punches and haymakers at helmets and non-helmets and belly-to-back suplexes and German suplexes and things can lead to injuries. And it can also lead to the question, you got enough energy to fight each other. Are we not practicing hard enough? That's what every coach will say. But every coach will also say, as a Steiner, gets grabbed, tossed around. You're going to do that to me? I don't think so. This is Scott Steiner's boy doing rich Steiner's German suplex and three, two, and. Boom! How you doing? He needs to just head to the NXT right now and join Braun as the Steiner brothers could return in this whole thing. But nonetheless, joint practices have brought a lot of activity, a lot of energy, a lot of potentially very stupid plays. But also a lot of things that showcase how together a group could potentially be. Now, I think this will inevitably only continue as joint practices happen. But I love the fact that we got real football action. We got jobs on the line. We got real emotion. We got real energy. We got real deep balls. We got real quotes. We got real hard knock season this year. I feel like, as we're following along with the Seattle Seahawks, baseball is bringing it. WMBA put up its biggest number that it's ever had. Sports are on fire right now. We're very incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about them. I'm going to be on Monday Night Countdown this upcoming season. That's right. Monday Night Football is obviously a gigantic thing. Just in the world of sports as a whole. The fact that I have any part of being there and everything like is crazy. And I'm very thankful, grateful, and humbled for the opportunity. Excited for the Fall Football Tour. Followed Game Day on Saturday. Obviously Monday Night Countdown and then covering it every day alongside you guys. And I think there's some more announcements that could potentially be rolling out about it all here in a few weeks or whatever the case is. But we are very pumped for the good of sport, for the good of ball. I'm lucky to be there. Great team over there. Obviously, I've never got a chance to work with Scott Fampelt. What's that? I was doing a tweet. I hope you don't look like it. Who is that guy? I knew money. I knew money. He's good. He's good, my boy. What? I don't know, Ari. You know, Ari. I appreciate Ari Mirav. I feel like we have provided him some numbers over the last couple of days. Certainly. I feel like he's providing a lot for us too. Ari is a grandeur. We appreciate that. Scott Fampelt, perfect smiley, happy guy. Jason Kelsey, big thumbs up. He just pissed on some AI. Yeah. Yeah. He's keeping the service cool. McCordy, obviously, big happy smiley guy. Swaggle. Love him. Yep. Who the fuck is that guy? Next to Swaggle. That's not you. I know that's not you. That's not me. I didn't know if you look at that nonetheless. Excited to join that incredible crew. You ever seen Reacher? A monster. Yeah. I saw him. Yeah, I got the creature. Yeah, exactly. His neighbor wanted some. Yeah. He gave it to him. Dude, season's pretty good. Yeah, I think. That's what I'm looking like. Ari, thank you. Okay. And we'll send you more photos. But I am pumped and honored to be a part of that football season is going to be great. Yeah. And at the talk tables here at Boston Ponder. And that time, it's a bit sweet shirt. Thank you very much. If it's not, say stalling. No, stalling. Okay. Okay. Shout out to stalling. Not really. But, you know, bad guy. Not shout out to stalling. He was a bad man. He was a shout out to stalling. Yeah. Not to stall. Not a good man. Yeah, of course. Not a good man. What is stalling just so eager? One of a guy I know. You were not expecting me to actually know. I know. I wasn't at all. We had this exact same conversation over there about 35 minutes ago. A guy I know near me played football at Iowa. Then played for the Buffalo Bills and a couple other teams. He retired. He started a clothing company. So this is his clothing company. Yeah. Stallions. Stallions. Yeah. Stallions. Not Joseph Stalin. Not the former leader of the red curtain. I'd say, well, you were kind of standing like this to me earlier. And all I could see is the STA with the L. And then the straight. I'm like, okay. We're really going to. He was probably starting with a pot today. Well, we're really going to. You know what? And we don't need to go down this. I mean, not a good guy. Obviously. But let's not forget what you said. Joseph Stalin was on in WW2. It was arts. Okay. All right. So you're saying what kind of a stallion? Yeah. Joe Stalin was a bit of a stallion. You could make that argument. No. No. No. No. I'm not saying it. It was not. It was not. He was very good at what he did. But you could make that argument. All right. It's going to whatever they have. God. Cowboys, AP. Tone. Obviously D. No ideas. That's how they started. I love when we do history. Yeah. Well, the thing about history is, it's a mystery. Yeah. Well said. It tends to repeat itself. Yeah. It certainly does. We're going to do it again some point. And we hope to not be the ones who make the mistake. And that's why we hope to be Stalin. Exactly. In this whole world. Don't we con man? Being Stalin's not Stalin. Yeah. I just like to confirm that Stalin's nickname wasn't Stalin. You know, that's kind of my other worry as we have this conversation. It's a difference of Joseph Stalin's calm Stalin. Because then all of a sudden we have to really hammer home. That's L.L.Y. Not S.T.A.L.I. Stalin. You know, but again. This is about a guy who played football at Iowa. Yeah, who played for the Buffalo B.O.s, which I don't love. But still cool that he's doing something with a clothing line. Stallions. I like that type of shirt too. You can spell it out. Yeah, let's just put a horse on there. For sure. That's a good looking horse. You called him Uncle Joe, during WW2. I didn't know that. That little horse. Yeah. Find it. I'm going to be honest. He's down there. People are going to be surprised about this. I'm surprised about this. That's a high quality spot to put on a shirt on merch. Somebody had to hand do that. So the amount of money he's getting in return much lower than obviously just a standard print. And that's what Stalin's doing with their merch. Well said. And there's even a horse on the back, I think, on the outside. Is there? Yeah, I think if you were to turn around and be right there. Oh, yeah. That's a good spot too. I've never met this guy or know this guy. But just say, hey, we like what you're doing with your shirts, bro. He's really going to appreciate it. Well, the value news out of racing horse racing is. Yeah, looking out. Rapoul is about to get that bottom. Yeah. Who knows if he gives up on the XC UFL? Which one? UFL. Yeah. He gives up on the UFL to get in the horse racing more to fix it. We shall see. Rapouli would definitely do that. Okay. Let's talk about some of the things happening around these joint practices. Houston Texans in the Las Vegas Raiders are obviously a huge storyline. Clint Cubiak, head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Superbow champion with the Seattle Seahawks. Let's come on and say there's going to be a lot of Nando, okay? There's going to be a lot of Nando tomorrow. So that means probably a lot of Kirk Cousins being rested. Kirk Cousins opened up a little bit during a press conference about, you know, what could have possibly been the conversation between he and Max? And then also Houston Texans players in this joint practice. I've sat in the other practice. What exactly happened on that? Well, my elbow got hit and I joked him, Max. You know, I say, you can touch me anywhere you want. Just don't touch me. But you want to bump me in the ribs. I think if anything, you know, hit me in the hips for the ribs. It's actually good because it simulates what I need to feel. I said the elbow and the shoulders where I could spray something pretty easily. So if you could just help me, I've had some, I got some scars from, you know, some hits in real games where helmets go into armpits and things and it ruins your season. So I was just, you know, asking him to just stay off the arm and had to remind the Texans as well. You know, you can hit me anywhere you want. Or I might as well just take the Red Jersey off because, you know, you're playing with sometimes an understood rule that if it's not understood, then what are we doing? Yeah. I like it. Yeah. Hey, listen, this is an understood rule. Why am I even in this Red Jersey? And what are we even doing? I appreciate him sticking up for himself, but also showing Nando. Like, hey, you got to stick up for yourself. Yeah. As I assume Kirk cousin saying, you need to get the fudge out of my face. Very similar to how Nando might potentially have to do it. But you do got to kind of take a stand. Now on that note, it is crazy that we're still talking about Max Crosby potentially hitting the elbow in the arm of his own team starting quarterback. Max Crosby is all gas, no brick. One speed. Kirk cousin is saying, okay, well, let's just do what guys do when they fight each other and they want to punch each other in their face. You can just punch me in this. You can hit me.
Where do you need to hit me? Why me in the ribs? That'd be good. Hit me in the hips, that's fine. That's abnormal, I think, for starting quarterback. Is this what Fernando's just gonna have to expect to be in Las Vegas right now? - Yeah, as long as he's there with Max, that's for damn sure. But I like Kurt kind of stepping up and standing up, I guess for himself. I've never been a teammate of Kurt so I've never really seen him behind closed doors but this is kind of abnormal for the Kurt cousins that I know to kind of stand up and even talk to him or get quote unquote physical with Max Crosby and then you think about the guys coming off the edge down in Houston. Like I mean, Will Anderson and the Hunter, I mean, that's unbelievable. - Yeah. - This is kind of part of, I guess the downside, we saw the fights of joint practices because these aren't your brothers, he's aren't the guys you care about the same way. I think Kyle Shanahan said like, yeah, Christian McCaffrey, he's banged up and he would have practiced if we were practicing against ourselves but since it is a joint practice, we're gonna hold him out and that's why because you know, a part of that, you know, sharpening that iron is like, okay, now I'm going against another guy in another jersey. Finally, now I can do a little bit more that I wouldn't be comfortable doing in my own practice. We saw it with Seattle and the Heart Knocks. Hey, stay away from the quarterback. That halo gets a little bit smaller when that's not your franchise quarterback on the other side of the ball. So this is just part of it. - Yeah, Bonix and Nick Bonito got to do it out in Denver allegedly. He got a little bit close to the pile, got upset later. Bonito was on top of the pile, Bonix is. How about now? - Yeah, I see. - Yeah, a little bit more fun when the rabbit's got the gunpile. If it was like, there is a little bit of haste and tension happening around a lot of NFL training camps. You got to remember, these are a lot of alpha dudes, a lot of power, a lot of speed, a lot of physicality, a lot of soreness, a lot of long days. It's hot, yeah, I mean. - And these guys are getting a bunch of reps in the actual preseason games like the starters. So this is really when they're trying to ramp up and really get ready because at this point, soon the backup backs will start to take the majority of the reps and then the starters will start to kind of prep for week one with scout teams and stuff like that. So these vets are trying to ramp up and get ready for our week one. - Yeah, they're also trying to, you know, set the tone on what the year is. - Yeah. - Bow next trying to do the same damn thing. How about this, Benito? Almost one defense of MVP last year. - Yeah. - Yeah, 15, so I forget. - Couple of picks, six. - It's incredible. The amount of sacks he had was just outrageous. I like Bow next is going, how about this? Whoo, and then they have to be separated. And then what happens the next day? Or the next morning, or the next night, they're gonna sit down right next to each other. It's a fascinating thing football training game. It really is. And I think Ziya Franklin and Tucker Kraft actually had a scrap or something and then he'd breakfast every morning. And I think Ziya, he said, "He had him on the morning. I'll be eating breakfast, Tucker Kraft." And what you just saw out there just kind of status quo. Football is insane. It's the greatest. - Yeah, it is. - I genuinely believe that this is gonna be the best football season yet. - I'm pretty sure. - I agree. - I think so too. - Talents is best and better than it's ever been. - Pretty season games way better than ever. - Yes. - I think that's an indicator that the regular season is gonna be the best season yet. - Joining us now is a man who might be able to tell us if that's true or not. He, senior NFL insider for ESPN. I believe he's part of the Monday Night Countdown crew. - Okay. - I believe. - Yeah. - I think he's been ESPN a long time. - Did he get fat too? (laughing) - Never. - He's on treadmill. Not as much as John Schneider, which that guy, the amount of treadmill time he's spending holy hell, what's going in? - About 30 a night. - I mean, he's got to be, I mean, he's quite, that's all day. - Yeah. - He's similarly on the treadmill. - Yeah. - Six, seven hours. - Then at night, he's just fighting all that and then he's back on it in the morning. - He's a dog. - He had a cowboy. I mean, he was in the police control. He's on a phone and had an iPad while he was just walking off a bear. - Why? - Loud. - Why? - Two more bears. - Why? - Maybe six more bears. - Why? - Watching film, making Terry Arnold situation happen with Nicole Lynn from Clutch, I do believe. - He's a weapon. - She's an absolute weapon. She has some of the biggest contracts across all of sports. An absolute beast of waste she was talking to John Schneider, nice little peek inside of this. But he's on the cowboy remote, watching film on somebody, he's trying to film or who's gonna be on the team. He's talking to her about, yeah, make him a bear person, bear play, I mean, it's an outrageous clip. And then he's on that treadmill, like six, seven more times. - Yeah, yeah. - And then we look at him. - Got it, yeah. - See, we got to see him with a shirt off. He might have those abs, like I kind of have a little exit on the stomach area. - Yeah, and he might have. - Card angle. He might be built like card angle. - Exactly, exactly. - Yeah, it seems like he potentially already is. Got his champion multiple times. He is one of the greatest GMs of all time. We'll go down as that. So what's having this much access to him with hard knocks? Sick. - Yeah. - Oh, so I did not expect him just to be walking all day long, but that's what happens when you're getting it done. - That's right, me. - And at night. - Yeah, when you like ice cold pops, you gotta be walking like that. - Or you're gonna be a big fascist. - Yeah, he's still getting it done. - John Snell is a guy who I don't think has ice cold bears, but he does work out all the time. I think we've caught him in the middle of a workout, though less than 2,000 times, probably. - Yeah. - Senior NFL insider for ESPN, Michigan Man, Adam Schaefter. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Jack. - I don't have the walking desk like John Snell, but by the way, let me just say this, congratulations, welcome to the Monday Night Team Fat. Awesome. It's if that's pretty cool. So yeah, not enough work during the day. They need to do Monday Night Snell. That's something like, you know what you should do? You also now, you should join the unsportsman like radio team Monday through Friday. And then you get to radio, then you do your show, they eat the Monday, you would do it. Come on in if you like too. - Yeah, listen, NFL live back to back, Emmy award winning program. - Yeah. - I don't know if I could set foot on there, but if we're already gonna be at the Monday Night Football locations, as a celebration of ESPN ABC Super Bowl this season, and hopefully the best season yet. If I were to be there, I think it was a natural convoy. And there's a couple more conversations potentially, gonna rule out that people are gonna be so pumped up about, but we are very lucky and thankful. And I think this is a big part of why, like the ESPN partnership made a lot of sense. ESPN has invested so much in sports, has so many rights, so much access. Has since the beginning of time, rest in peace to Mr. Rasmussen, 24/7 sports idea, obviously paid off in a big way, but the amount of money that ESPN and Disney have invested in agreements with sport and into sport as a whole is obviously in abundance. So the amount of access and things you can get to, I mean, we're at the home on Derby a couple of years ago in the ESPN, you know, the NHL Stanley Cup's happening, college football, playoff, all of them's having money, and they football's happening, it's like, ESPN has access to all these things, so we're very thankful and lucky for our partnership with the ESPN in this. And it was one of the big reasons why, you know, this seemingly was the only option for us, if we were to license our show anywhere. Now, Chefty, you can report this, there was a much larger, much, much, and I'm laughing, I'm just laughing 'cause it was so stupid. It was like, what was potentially available, you know, as I say, grass greener, other places, you know, at this stage is outrageous. We are very thankful and lucky to be here, and all the reports about what's being paid to who, like, I don't know that has been accurate since we've started anything, so, you know, it's just like, we are very lucky and thankful to be on TMSPN at this moment. We are very excited for the future, and let's go for the good of sport. Now, lucky to be there, and thankful. Are you saying that you had other opportunities to work at other prime time football shows back? I mean, if I was to just say what the other, I mean, yeah, I mean, if I was to. - Some people thought it might've been a good idea to go there. - Some, some, yeah, anywhere. There was a real cause of those, but once again, ESPN, for what they have contributed to sport, we are very, we are lying in Emma. For the good of sport is what we hope to aim for, and it feels like ESPN and their investment, everything, we're lucky to be a part of it. Thankful to be a part of it. Lucky to be a partner of yours, and teammate of yours, Chefty. Now, let's talk about some shit happening around the NFL, shall we? Christian McCaffrey, stiffness, soreness out there in San Francisco. It came out and said that if it weren't in joint practices right now, he would be practicing or playing. What do we know about Christian McCaffrey, and is there a deal coming up for him with him being what, the 10th highest running back at this point or something like that? Yeah, nothing to do with this contract. It is not contract related at all. There's not a new deal coming for Christian McCaffrey. He's going to be playing this season on his existing contract is the full expectation. I guess anything always could change. You never know with some of these running back contracts going up and being adjusted. But my understanding is that deal is that deal, and it'll be addressed after the season. We'll see if that holds up or not. His absence is not related to the contract. His absence is related to some muscle tightness that is not thought to be serious in any way, shape, or form your Kyle Shannon. Say yesterday that the only reason they held him out yesterday was because it was a joint practice that if it were a regular practice, he would have been out there. And my understanding also is it's more along the lines of just being smart with a veteran who's had some tightness, nothing serious, nothing that overly concerned about. But with him and his history and who he is and what he's meant, you always get concerned. But I don't think they're terribly alarmed and he will be out there barring some sit back, opening night against the Rams in Australia. Incredible news, 'cause obviously Christian McCaffrey is a must watch player. That's why he's on so many commercials 'cause we all understand that. So the Niners with Christian McCaffrey, obviously a much different team than without Christian McCaffrey. There's some stats coming out about what Christian McCaffrey did last year at his old-ass age. They might warrant maybe a little rest. Hey, maybe you do just kind of chill. Let's get this guy to the season and maybe kind of have him relax. Curtis Martin, 31 years old, 40 and touches. Walter Payton, very good football player, 31 years old, Tiki Barber 30, CMC 29. So whenever you get up in age and have 400 plus touches, that means you are the team. You are carrying the team, literally, in your hands. And we saw with LeBron with the Lakers last year where he was picking up how much he was kind of contributing on the court. You don't expect that out of an old-ass running back. Christian McCaffrey defined the odds. We'll be able to. until he's 33, 34, 35. Remember, Christian McCaffrey was created by athletes, who were created by athletes, who were created by athletes. His entire family tree, he's got maybe one most athletic family trees in the history of sport as a whole. So I believe in Christian McCaffrey. I can't wait to watch him. Thank God it sounds like we're not going to miss him for anything. Let's stay in the NFC West. Terry Arnold, we got a chance to kind of watch John Schneider go through that entire process last night on hard knocks. When the pole went from clutch, who's an absolute beast of an agent, can you tell us where we stand on that? It goes on the commissioners list, but they sign them, but they don't sign them. How much do we know about his case? What is kind of the future of Terry Arnold, who by all accounts from listening to way John Schneider talked about him coming out of college, he's beloved. It feels like Sabin came out and talked about him. I think his teammates loved him. It sound like everything he was saying at the combine was that of a guy who absolutely dog and loves ball and everything like that. Then obviously, very serious allegations come out and he gets cut and released from the Lions. Where do we stand, Terry Arnold, right now, Chefty? And what is kind of the projection? They knew all along that the commissioners' exemplest was going to be the likely outcome. The question is-- and it's always been the question here-- how long was he going to have to remain on there? And was there a chance they would get him back this season? That's what they still have been navigating. And I would imagine some of those calls you were in back and forth. Because now, again, if you find out that the NFL tells you that it's going to leave him on that list the entire season. And you're the Seahawks. If you sign him, and he's on that list, you own that money. So you're paying him for nothing at that point in time. So I would imagine there's some back and forth conversations here. The Seahawks, absolutely, were signing him, planned to sign him. And I still think that they will want to signing him. But you have to figure out an account for all the legal issues that he's facing, how the NFL is going to handle it. And there are conversations that are being navigated right now. Nicole Lynn of Clutch Sports said to John Schneider on the phone call that there were seven other teams ever interested. And they were picking the Seattle Seahawks so that he could grow as a person and as a player. They liked his culture. Schneider liked all of that as well. OK, let's pivot. Off a Terry on Arnold, we hope he gets to say, well, we don't know. Actually, yeah, we have no idea what the thing is. That was very alarming charges. Yeah, I mean, that's what he said in hard knocks. Like, yeah, if you read the article about it, like, it was shocking. The Lions kind of had to do what they did. Yeah, and it seems like Terry on Arnold's attorneys come on, and say, what are we talking about? Yeah, right, you know, as he's done. So I guess we just let the kind of the courts figure that out. Is that what we're doing now? We just kind of wait on the courts, Chefty. OK, play on it. Well, I think it's the NFL, the trial. Well, the NFL is going to say, well, let the courts figure it out for sure. But the NFL is going to weigh in before there's any trial. So the NFL is going to say, you're on the commissioner's exemplest for two games, four games, the whole season, whatever it may be. They're not going to wait until the cases conclude they can't do that because if they did that, then he wanted to play in this full season. And I don't think the NFL is just going to wave the flags. Go ahead and play right now with these outstanding issues hanging over him. OK, got it. Thank you for the update there. Debut has a question for you, Chefty? Yes, Chef, we've seen some huge deals announce this off season. Devin Witherspoon obviously reset the cornerback market. We all expect Christian Gonzalez to corner for knowing the Patriots to be paid soon as well. Outside of Gonzalo, is there anybody else that we can expect a huge deal from before the season starts? Well, first of all, I'm not so sure that Gonzalo deal is going to get done so quickly. Obviously, there are the parameters in place. And there's the road map that Devin Witherspoon is presented. And obviously, Gonzalo's would love to get a deal just deserving of a new deal. And the Patriots would like to get a new deal. But up until this past weekend, the two sides were not overly close. And they had not had a lot of productive conversations. So we'll see if that works out or not. It's going to be interesting to track here because, like I said, the parameters in place it should not be hard to get a deal done. Right now for Christian Gonzalez, and yet so far, it has been. But we have the regular season moving here in a few weeks. There's always a push by players and teams to get deals done before the regular season begins. And we'll see if these two sides can engage and get one done. We meanwhile have the situation in Pittsburgh with their cornerback. Right now, Joey Porter, right? That deal is not gotten done as well. That's still out there waiting to get done. That's been very quiet this summer, like everyone spoke about Gonzalez. Nobody's spoken about Porter, another looming issue that's out there at the corner acquisition. Now that Witherspoon is set up that market. And that's not an easy one to solve right now. I don't think Joey Porter, Jr. was practicing either, right? No. So during the first day they got the camp, they did the whatever test or whatever. And he apparently had an injury in that. And I don't want to say he was like that, but he was working with Jalen Ramsey off to the side or whatever in the trainers during all of training camp so far. Okay. That's a loud situation if you were to be watching and talking about it. Joey Porter, Jr. Obviously, Pittsburgh Steeler Royalty with Joey Porter, senior who I think you know, would actually fight people for the Pittsburgh Steeler. So we appreciate his family in Pittsburgh a lot, but these contract things with the Pittsburgh Steelers never win over the insurers. So hopefully it remains quiet and gets done because if it gets too loud, even the insurers will say, "Hey, Cam, hey, we're piped on." Okay. You've been here. How long? Your dad's a hero here. You were in all pro last year. The 30th highest paid defense, a shut up. Put your helmet on. That's what the Steelers did. That's what insurers did to Cabay because it was getting a little bit too loud for their liking. So the Joey Porter, Jr. stuff, remaining quiet. Good news. I think that's good news. And hopefully they're able to get that done. Now, there's another situation that was loud. Then there was some laughing and a little bit of a hat play and then it's kind of quieted off a little bit. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Chef. A couple of weeks ago on your podcast, you actually mentioned that Vita Vaya, you thought like it was kind of training more towards, hey, they're not going to get a deal done. There's a chance that maybe he gets traded, like Micah did last year, kind of right before the season starts. And then I believe it was yesterday. You kind of had changed tune on that and that you do think something is going to potentially get done now. Have there been big strides in communication there? And is that the idea that Vita Vaya is going to get some sort of deal done in the coming weeks here? See, that's the whole thing with these situations, right? They could be at a certain spot in a certain day in a certain week and then they could flip. And I'm just saying to me, reading between the lines, having conversations with people, it feels like there's been a shift in that one. It feels like we've gone from a tone of pessimism to one where there's potential optimism. It feels like we've gone from Vita Vaya wanting a trade to Vita Vaya now wanting to try to get a deal done. It feels like we've gone from there being questions about Vita Vaya not being in Tampa to now, let's see if they can get it done. I think it's flipped. I think eventually the two sides figure it out. I think they get something done and I think Vita Vaya stays in Tampa. We love that. We love that for Vita. We love that for Tampa Bay because that means vibes a little bit higher down here in Tampa. Baker Mayfield also came out and said a lot of you guys think we're going to stink. We'll see about that. He said, we a couple of different times. How about that situation? Vita Vaya and Mr. Light and Glazer family down there in Tampa Bay getting a deal done. That would be cool, cool, by going into the year. How about the quarterback, Trigger Man, Baker Mayfield because I know both of them were a little bit disappointed in each other and how they were operating and acting at the beginning of training camp. Is that changed? I don't think anything's changed there. Look, I think the issue there is that, I mean, Baker might feel different. I think the money was there. The deal, the two-year extension, three-year deal, would have placed him in the top five highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL from what I understand. I think the issue to Baker is that if you're a franchise player, you deserve more than a two-year extension and I think the length was what irritated him and caused him to say he felt disrespected. I don't know the Tampa would or wouldn't be willing to offer a third year or fourth year and I don't know that it matters. It feels like Baker is perfectly content, shutting it down, playing out the season, facing the prospect of being franchise after the season and seeing where it goes. He's, look, when there's a chip on his shoulder, when he's up against the wall like this challenge, that's when he usually plays his best. So he feels disrespected, he's shutting down talks, let's see how the season turns out and he's going to better himself and he's going to make sure that Tampa Bay has to pay for that in the end is my opinion. What am I? Clipboard Jesus? Guys, rough me a two-year deal. Who am I? Ryan Fitzpatrick? We love Ryan Fitzpatrick. Absolutely. Love Ryan Fitzpatrick. Two-year deal at this point? I can't get a three-four-year deal. You don't think I'm going to be able to play longer than that? What are we talking about? You know, Baker, then you're saying he's gone to the point where he's like, they've offended me too much, they've passed my deadline, I'm going to play it if they franchise tag me, we'll do this again. And he just keeps rolling. Four-year, five-year deal. What do you think Baker is looking for? Yeah, four or five in that range. What is he? How old is he? 30. 30. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For quarterback, you know, you talk about that. 30. That type of position out of a corner, something like maybe a pass rusher, maybe a two-year bunch of cash guarantee that'll work, but as far as a franchise quarterback, if that's what he views himself as, which he should, yeah, four or four years probably guarantee at least in the top five of the mark, because we know how that market changes here by you to sell the weekend. Yeah, injuries are all anybody scared.
That's all the deal is are about like is he can be able to hold up and play good football three years around So it's tampering thinking and becker saying if I get hurt am I gonna be able to pay it's all about injuries It's happened to him He's had those injuries shoulder shifting out of Cleveland like he's had he's been on pick so I had to show the last year Yeah, I heard all like almost all the back half a last year and when he had that shoulder in Cleveland They had him throw it 60 times Yeah, I guess the Pittsburgh Steelers they did Chop on a side was cooking. It was the bends last game. What's it? I could be wrong. They weren't trying to get him out of there. No. No. No. Yeah Or why we got like one of the best running backs in a great offensive line. Yeah, shock. I should come on It's got a spin that I think playing the Pittsburgh Steelers should be able to throw it all around and then he comes out He had what broken shoulder or something like that. That was an interesting ending. Hopefully this one is in the same way Maybe he ends up in a new destination next year like I don't know. Maybe lost angels Rams of Tyson's and gets traded for a number one Overall pick because he's so damn good last question here all around injuries go ahead con man Yeah, chef, do you have that ESPN fantasy football notification pop up just saw Jaden Higgins tearing his ACL that's awful But there's also been two teams the Saints and the Chargers it seemingly every single day one of their main players is getting hurt I saw Kamara is now out for the Saints Jordan Tyson they're rookie obviously and then Chargers Tyler Beattish He's got an ACL issue. I saw Quentin Johnston went out as well What are what's the status with those two the Saints in the Chargers are they just going to be you know basically banged up all year now Well, we've got a number of injury issues to cover so before packet even say to me. What else do we have yeah Junior at Jaden Higgins the Texans wider see her tours ACL So he's out for the year, which is a devastating blow and that's not a good injury to have and you wish him the best and hope he gets back soon But that's awful that that happened during yesterday Domingo Ryan City hurt his leg he was being evaluated and it turned out to be a Torn ACL Alvin Camara's got a sprained MCL I'm told it's at least a month. That's a blow to the Saints particularly on the heels of losing Jordan Tyson So now he lose Jordan Tyson for a couple of months He lose Alvin Camara for a month plus and now you've got a need on the offensive side of football for some people to catch the football Tyler Beattish is out indefinitely Suffered ACL damage yesterday to his knee. There are other injuries in his leg as well He's getting more medical Opinions gathering more information to see how long he'll be sod long But it's going to be for a while at the very least right now So hopefully he can make it back at some point this season, but everything is up in the air right now and it just feels like Every single day. There's somebody else. It's it's awful. It's terrible and Ty and I talked about this on the podcast this week I've had a few people call me up and they're like I know the PA bargain for more time off during the offseason They wanted these players out of silly, but they feel like and some of these are on the board some of their contact But but they're like They're not they're not playing as much football. They're not doing enough practice in the offseason They get these muscles should breeze all non-contact goes down two or three weeks like Why is this happening? It just seems like there's a lot of that that's out there right now and a lot of different theories a lot of people Disappointed upset about it. You hit see anybody hurt at any point time, but it feels like now It's we can't get through a day without somebody getting hurt for some reason. Yeah, which is crazy because we all decided there's no more injuries I know and I don't like that at all who reported the first injury there down in Houston Junior June Junior did report that then he yes, he did well junior did a good job He's holding down a fort while you're out there kind of getting more information We appreciate you to tag team in this season together And we appreciate junior services and we certainly appreciate yours, Mr. Senior ladies or gentlemen That is senior NFL insider DSP and Adam chef there So we're gonna have to take this second junior pull over first step as wherever he said my name I said and then we cut off his thing and I heard Junior a deal and they all looked at each other. Is it did he just he just caught a junior there? Guess we'll do a little TV magic like a hard out. Yeah What the hell is that where you take one and then you send to another and that that's coming That's coming that is come here it is ladies general what happened at the beginning of the show was that called TV magic Yes, somehow one linear Channel can have something live in New York City Wow The media capital of the world America big apple so many big brains over there so many over there You can have a show going live from over there and then somehow This thunder to him out in the middle of Indiana Indianapolis, Indiana can somehow just kind of go on at the same time There's like a little bit of a Maybe a snap of a finger that happens so what happens there from the technical standpoint of on air television air is there is a hard out And there's actually countdown to the hard out this has been happening since the beginning of time I do believe there's a countdown that happens in the back It actually kind of sounds like this in the background in my year what I hear as we're wrapping up is Bruce saying this right here Three two one. Yeah, it's kind of happening there now some some people on air like like 10 some people like five Some people like less we put up a graphic at the bottom So I don't have to hear Bruce you know for the second hour so we could just kind of see what it is But the hard out is something that's been around since the beginning of time. Yeah, and we're kind of look We learned about it when we were doing radio. That's right. You know, we were doing radio. We had four Brakes we had four breaks an hour and then a hard out the end. So that's when we learned like hey the hard out does not care The hard out has no feelings. No, it doesn't the hard out has Zero thoughts about not showing up and when it shows up guess what it does Wipes out everything I got you off. Yeah, and from my understanding I might be we're new to this right we're relatively young Yeah, I think we're the youngest to do this you know because people are on air for like 55 60 years Yeah, and that's okay, but new people getting jobs really bad thing really really really really really really bad thing from my Understanding but like I think the way it all goes is Like the show that was was on is to in control of that like the next show. I don't think They didn't hear the count out at the other place. No. No, they don't even know those people at that place I from my understanding tie you might know a little bit more because you've obviously had to work on the hard out It's whenever we're back on radio and sure and in the back room and Foxy and Bruce you might be able to correct me But I we don't know and maybe we should get that maybe we should get first takes count down there I don't think so I think you hit the nail on the head pretty good I think you know typically that is handled in house over there and our job is kind of just you got to be we got to be ready When we're supposed to be ready and we're supposed to go you got to take the baton exactly. Yeah, and we can't be we got No, no, this is ESPN. No, we actually we need that heat. Yeah, you know We can't be doing this now if you do that you know I've lost the race. Yeah, those happened I ran a lot of track. Me's I watch a lot of track meetings sometimes then happened often don't fall Real yeah, at the highest level highest level can't have that. I mean we've got a cool jeez I think it happened yesterday pretty loudly. Well, I think it happened yesterday pretty loudly and we there's we just like say we've missed some Hard out in the past. I think many people have but it's always on us It's not on the next people so you can you can certainly utilize it as a situation to call me a piece of shit again But I don't think I had anything to do no we kind of actually well you kind of always kind of bring a little light to it We go from yeah, we go from from ESPN to digital. Hey, we did that one. It's a hard out of the head But I don't know if I got the any you know sometimes we got a guest on it just power right through it like it's just like Chuck's at it Play don't care who makes it. No, what's that hard out of it? It's coming. It's over experience the last week on Thursday and Friday Like normally the show starts with us. You know you welcoming everyone in but because we were going from golf to this It was a different type of transition where you kind of welcome people from the golf and then did the intro versus what we usually do And I know this gonna blow some minds, but they were doing that down in Memphis, Tennessee Okay, they were sending that To Connecticut. Yeah, cool then that hard out was hitting them in Tennessee and the Connecticut and then it was sending us so the amount of That's going on in that old thing for the hard out just kind of happening right in front of everybody's eyes there and we are not perfect with them. No They're tough. Yeah, very as we learned they are the sideline. Okay, they're out of bounds Okay, I used to trap returners. I used to make them think oh look at that slobby looking white guy I'm a I can outrun him and before games I would tell return and say don't run me over please I can't run by me just shake the shit out of me run by you guy and I caught a bait and tackle where I bait them in the thinking that I was slow Which I was but not as slow as they thought I was or as slow as I look especially in that already photo So they would go and then I would trap them bang and then the sideline big tackle as opposed to me. That's what hard out is. Yeah hard out of the sideline Immediately over. Mm-hmm soon as it touches. Yep, and it's coming That's not what is not waiting for anybody anybody. You can't push it back though. We've done that a couple of times Yeah, that's possible and I can't do that today because you listen to this one. This one's crazy Little league world series is coming on at one o'clock Eastern. Okay, such right after our show. Mm-hmm So we're actually going over to ESPN 2 so ESPN 2's got a five. Okay ESPN's got a five Little league world series has a five no and Bruce Brown's back here going Where he's doing what there's a delay, you know, so we we're tossing over to ESPN 2 Then we're popping back on to yeah, we're we're taught we're hopping on to ESPN 2 We're throwing the little league world series that's happening on ESPN and then somehow we're gonna continue to go It's crazy. Yeah, it's gonna be mad. Yeah, but if we miss the hard out
going into Little League Road series, that's on us. - Especially if it's on a very, very serious segment. - But if I do something serious at the end of this and Little League Road series comes on, we need to go after these kids. It's like you came after me. I would like us to go after these kids for cutting off the very super serious thing we were about to do. - Fuck those kids. - That's what I'm saying. That's what people are saying about me yesterday, basically. And that's kind of what you're saying. 'Cause we got a super serious segment coming at the end of this particular round, right? - Yep, yes. - All right, I just hope everybody remains consistent. - Exactly. - That's what I thought for sure we were about to have our next guest on right there. We had been filling a lot of time, a lot of time. I know people are gonna be surprised by this. We are as well. We have Scottie Schaffler joining us in the next five minutes or so. - Here we go. - Hell yeah. - He's coming out of this group and Pro Am was delayed this morning. So it was kind of like a throw in at the wall. Like they could potentially be on, could not be on. I believe you'll be joining us in about five minutes. So let's chitchat about Jackson Smith and Jigbo. The only man who has won two offensive player, the year trophies, in winning one offensive player, the year season. He was outrageous, came on to the scene in a huge way. Started the season ridiculous, finished the season ridiculous. Obviously, Super Bowl champion was always open. Last time on hard knocks, they kind of dove into how he gets open, why he gets open, and why he's potentially unguardable. - This is actually better than, I think, the camp he had last year, which was saying something. It's been pretty remarkable. - A good route runner. Gatsby, you know, a good artist. - The way he's able to, you know, get in and out of cuts, like he's never really up or down. He's just fluid. Never know when he's going to change speed. Never know when he's going to change directions. - Jackson's one of those guys who can run full speed and cut full speed and stay at the same level. It's a Super Bowl. And style is very unassuming. If you're watching from the sidelines, he has no indicators. Break in, break out. Everything's on the table. - It's almost like the Silver Surfer. I do just kind of like, he's like speed skating out there. And so, at all the stent, you can break all the different directions, so he can run anything from anywhere. - I love the way they're talking about J.S.N. I love that we get a chance to watch him and learn from him. Quickly debut as the greatest golfer on earth is waiting. Why is everything that you said so important to what they're saying? - I mean, just make it quick. As defenders, we're looking for tails. We're looking for giveaways. And the less that you have of those as a wild receiver, the better you're going to be the more productive you're going to be because of how you run your routes. And the other weapon for him, he moves around the formation lot. Sometimes he's outside, sometimes he's in a slot. Sometimes he's in the backfield, so it's damn near impossible to gain playing a stop at 11 out there. And he's doing shit like this. - Yeah, so they all look the same as Rob. Reggie Wayne, very similar. - Reggie Wayne, Torrey Hall, Isaac Bruce, AB. Those are some of the guys that pop some on. You think about the guys currently playing Devonte Adams, Cooper Cup, and his prime, but still, those are the guys that can create separation while not having a blazing 424340. - Busted ass toes though. - Busted ass though. Yeah, I mean, that's just part of the business. Their toes have just been taken in the immediate. We are very thankful for his talent. We're also very appreciative of what this man can do with a golf ball. Whenever he became the guy, you know what I'm saying? Is this guy easy of mute? Wait, wait, wait, wait, is this guy okay? And then whenever he became domineered, everybody said, this guy sucks as the head guy. And then he watched him play golf, and it's like, this is a master of sports, please. Have a little bit of respect. He would go on a run that would make our entire generation go, okay, we got a guy. Right now, he's currently on a run that could be historic. He won the PGA Tour Schedule Calendar Championship. Then he just won the St. Jude Championship. This upcoming weekend, it's down to the top 50. And then next weekend, it's the top 30. He could hit the quadruple crown here at all. Never been done before, ladies and gentlemen, an absolute stallion of a man. Where's wired headphones? - Nice, of course. - Protect that brain. - Thank you, Jim and Scott Schaffer. - Yay, hey, hey. - How you doing, brother? - What's up, fellas? - Okay, always a wired guy, or this was just available? - I typically am a wired guy. Sometimes I put the, was it like the Bluetooth ones in there, but only occasionally, I'm typically a wired guy. - I like that old school, you know, throw it back, real golfer. You listen to the music whenever you're playing, not in tour rounds, whenever you're out there on a golf course, it's kind of having fun. - Yeah, typically, we'll have music in the cart, but if I'm practicing and stuff, I never have headphones in. You got to listen to, like, kind of, how you're making contact with the ball. - Oh, yeah, I guess there is a little bit. I'm trying to get better at this. How is the contact with the ball? Feels like you're playing great golf. Obviously, we watched you dominate this past weekend. All season, you've been in it. Thank you, as a golf fan, and as a sports fan, seeing your name on a Sunday or on a Saturday, on the side of the television, is a huge deal for the sport of golf. I think you know that at this point, you've been in it all year, you've won a few, you're coming off a win. How would you judge this season thus far and how you're playing and can grasp on, baby? I think which happened during this season as well. - Yeah, yeah, we had our second sun during this season. That was an exciting time. And you know, my family's been traveling me a lot this year, which has been really fun. But yeah, I've had some close calls this year. So it was nice last week being able to kind of get the win and be able to answer some different questions at the end of the week. Instead of, you know, how are you gonna win? It was more, you know, it's a lot. A lot easier answering the questions about playing good golf versus playing close to good golf. - Yeah, but being in 10 straight top fives or whatever the hell was, he's like, this guy, this guy sucks, it's like, what are we talking about? This might be best season of all time. How do you judge seasons? 'Cause obviously winning at the end is a huge deal. How you going to the off season for everybody is how you kind of judge and the last taste of your mouth. It's been a phenomenal season. How do you judge these next two weekends? And I know there's a lot of convoes about like, you're a big reason why they had to change some of these playoff rules. You think Scotty Shaffler should get a 10 stroke head start and how do you feel about where we are in the playoffs? And what do these final two weeks look like for you mindset wise? - I think mindset is just wanting to finish off this season the right way. You know, like I said, I've been close this year to playing some really good golf and last week was nice kind of getting in there and being able to get a win. You know, I have two good opportunities over the next couple of weeks to have good starts and finish off the year the right way. But also when you start looking towards the off season, golf is kind of just like an endless pursuit of trying to improve things. And, you know, we're never really close to perfecting this game, but you know, we're always just working work and trying to improve a little bit at a time. And I think that's, that's what I love about the game. Just continue to practice. There's always something to work on and something to strive for. And you know, we'll be focused on those things again as the off season comes. - Well, you'd be a golf fish in honor. It feels like you're a pin high lot this past weekend. Distance control was seemingly outrageous. You were still scrambling a little bit. You know, you were still scrambling a little bit off the tee. So let's talk about both of those. Did you feel comfortable with your distance this past weekend, maybe more so than weeks past that we've seen of this season? And off the tee box, do we hate our driver? Or do we matter? How should we be talking to your driver as people that talk to microphones? - Oh, no, that was a big question. I was super golfing. - Well, I put a new driver in the bag last week, so that was good. - Okay, okay, so we like this driver. And we like this driver. Okay, okay, I think like that. - Yeah, it's one for one. - Yeah, I like the driver so far. And then, yeah, pin high lot last week. Yeah, I felt like I started, I found like, I guess finding contact. Sometimes in golf, you can just be a touch off and it can make a huge difference. And so at home, the week before we left, I'd played some really good golf and so I was excited to kind of get back out there and compete. And yeah, I just, you know, hit it really solid for the most part. And I was, I hold a lot of putts last week, which I think was why he saw such large separation in the leaderboard. So it was nice kind of an all around week. - Oh, we're just gonna continue to do that. What putter are you using? - Yeah, same putter as always. And yeah, hopefully continue to do that. I think that's always the goal. You know, gotta keep your expectations realistic. But yeah, I definitely cops it got into this. - Guy deep up. - Yeah, he's unbeatable. Obviously, when the flat stick is rolling, but to kind of follow up on that driver, I believe you went from the QI-10 to the new four, I think it's 4D. I'm the mark. I try to tailor made, I buy the new driver. Whatever new driver comes out, I'll go on bikes. I think it's gonna help me. But what makes you get to that point you say, okay, I'm comfortable and I'm gonna change something in the bag. - Yeah, I mean, I've never, I've never been big on switching clubs. So if you see me putting something new in the bag, it's gonna be really, really great. And I felt like as I tested this new 4D driver, the spin numbers were more consistent and it was a little bit faster. It was just a matter of the club going as straight. And I'm never gonna switch unless I actually feel like the club is better. And so last week at, sorry, two weeks ago when I was at home, I just did my best trying to go out and play and my backup driver to the QI-10 was the QI-4D. And so I felt like my QI-10 was getting close to where it was either gonna fail the driver testing or become illegal. And so I needed to really work on my backup and I put it in play at home a few times and really liked kind of what I saw. And you know, going to the Memphis last week, you know, just felt like it was a good week to kind of test it out and the results were pretty good. So definitely gonna keep it, keep it in the bag going forward. - I like that you look at your backup driver going into playoff, say congrats, Kate. You're in the show. (laughing) - I like that, I'm doing similar stuff. Did you think about getting rid of the wedge out of the sand whenever you hit that sprinkler? What a terrible, hey, I thought golf gods were shitting on you. I thought that's what was happening. How do you mentally take this into time? 'Cause you have a lead, obviously this is early. In my first thought, I'd be like, oh great, golf's doing this to me today. I don't know if that's how you ever think on a golf ride.
Well, of course, obviously you're the best in the world. I am, I wonder what my ranking would be. Probably down there in a few hundred thousands or whatever it is. But when you see that happen, obviously abnormal. And was this going in? It felt like you were on the right trajectory. - It was a spot where the ball could land. I was trying to land it about three feet in front of that sprinkler head, but I didn't ever see it. I couldn't see it from where I was in the bunker. And so when it hit the sprinkler head, I was like, oh my gosh, I never even saw that. And so it was definitely one of those breaks for me like, man, I'm gonna be kind of going up against it today. But just did a good job of refocusing after that. And it was actually a tough up and down for Bogey from that point. So made a good Bogey. Got it back with a nice birdie on the fifth. And then we were kind of off to the races after that. But yeah, just trying to do your best to reset. But one stuff like that happens, you, I mean, it is very frustrating. - Yeah, I think that's the difference between, you know, you and probably clubs going into that. Where the ball went, clubs going there as well. Probably picking up the sprinklers head actually. See how you doing, yep. You're going in there as well. You know, fool out a happy Gilmore Adam Sandler scene for me 'cause that's Sunday. Is the Sunday of a playoff, happening to the leader. That's crazy. - Yeah, that's not. - It was actually out of a movie. - The movie for me. - Yeah, exactly. I'm redropping it. - Yeah, I didn't see that. - Me neither. Unbelievable that that's right there. Why would they ever put that there? I'm trying to chip this thing in. He said, I was trying to put it three feet ahead of that. I didn't know you'd ever miss. - So, okay, you're aiming me. I told, we college game day, you gave me some golf advice when I said, hey, I'm trying to do this one. Anything but that, don't do that. And you said that. But how small of a spot are you aiming for? Like when we see you on a T-Box, are you aiming for like a tiny little spot somewhere? Are you aiming for a vicinity? When you're chipping, are you like, all right, I'm going middle of the green, trying to spin it back. How direct are you? And you're thinking in thoughts as you're lining up the hit of ball? - I'm always real specific. I think in the picture of what I want to do. So I always have exactly what I have in mind. But I think you're always using kind of the parameters and the slopes that you have in order to make that shot easier. So, for instance, that bunker shot, you know, obviously there's water long, but there's also a downslope where that sprinkler head is and then it gets flat on the green. So in my head, I'm going to try and land that maybe a foot or two under the green. But I know I have that downslope that I can use there so that I kind of change the shot that I'm playing in order to use kind of the parameters that I'm given there. But I think I've always been very visual and so visually I'm very specific. But when it comes time to actually hitting the shot, I try and forget about all that stuff and just be committed to what I'm doing. - Yeah, that's what I'm going to start doing from now on. That's a good idea. - I like how good you're playing here in the playoffs. A lot of money on the line, not that you need to be told about that. Obviously, you know that. But I think 10 million to win the season and 3.8 here last weekend, 3.8 and then another 10 million. If you hit the quadruple crown, obviously that's a hell of a four-week period. And we are pulling for you to do that for the good of all sport and for greatness as a whole. But let's talk about being great and when you're great, go ahead, Ty. - Yeah, Scotty Pat alluded to it. How, you know, going into the off season, obviously you want to kind of go out on top and be playing well. And the purses for these, you know, last three tournaments are huge. But for you specifically, like would you rather be peaking and playing your best golf kind of, maybe more towards the beginning of the season, like early summer when you have the majors kind of sandwiched around, you know, that time or like, is the intention, hey, I want to be peaking and playing my best golf around the time the FedEx cup comes around? - I feel like peaking in golf is something that, like you can't really predict. I think you want to be playing your best golf all the time. And I think that's what we're always striving for. And yeah, if I could figure out how to, you know, necessarily peak for certain weeks, that would be great. But I think in golf, it's such an unpredictable and difficult game. I think you're always just trying to get the most out of yourself. And I would say, I would describe it best this way. You know, when I'm at home practicing, I think the majors are always kind of in the back of your head. But I feel as if what works best for me is just to get the most out of each day in each moment. So practice really hard while I'm at home. And just get the most out of kind of each and every day. Just be present, be where my feet are. I think it's really kind of my motto. And I wish I could figure out how to peaking golf out and make things a lot easier. - You have for about 10 years now. - Yeah, it's been a long ass peak. You kind of plateaued at the peak, actually. Everybody's kind of wondering when that's going to stop. - It's just to begin. - Yeah, exactly. And you can do this until you're 90, your guys are sport. You can literally do this until you're, yeah, absolutely. You can't get on any of the science that I'm on, but you can certainly do this for the rest of your life. I appreciate the fact that the FedEx Cup people are going to be thankful you said that. - Yeah, definitely. - Yeah, 'cause you've got to it. You got to it when you're like, when I'm at home and I'm standing over a ball, okay, we are at Augusta. Yeah, we are, we are certainly doing that. But would love to FedEx Cup, obviously very important. Let's be where our feet are. You talked about playing with Sam Burns. How much you love him this past weekend? Go ahead, Tom. - Yeah, Scotty, obviously you're very close to Sam. You're very close to see who I watch the video of you guys playing together this week. It was awesome. It was very funny. So I know that I assume it doesn't matter as much on Saturday, Sunday, because you're more doubted. Or maybe I shouldn't even say more doubted. But on Thursday, Friday, do you like being more open? Maybe playing with the guys that you're close to on those Thursday, Friday, opening rounds before you get into the weekend? - Yeah, I mean, I think anytime you're able to go out there with a buddy, it's a lot of fun. But it is serious when we get into competition. I've never been a guy that talks a ton on the course, but anytime you can be out there with one of your buddies, you're gonna have fun. You're gonna mess around and I'd say it's always more enjoyable just being out there with one of your buds. And like you said, I've got some great friends that I've met through the game of golf. Sam's one of my best friends in the whole world. So I've known for a long time and see it was one of my buddies. And so anytime we can go out there and play and compete and do what we love, it's a lot of fun. Who'd you yell at after burying a putt in the Presidents Cup a couple of years back? - That's Tom Kim. - Oh yeah. - Yeah, yeah, that was all, I love that. I was like, yeah, I did just popped up in my elbow again. I was like, did we miss this? It feels like we missed that. You know, nobody talked about that enough at the time. I enjoy the way you operate at the top of your sport, man. I genuinely do. I think you are a great depiction of what greatness can look like. You are so respectful to your sport. Yeah, that was a big celebration in your face before that, because there was a long putt that was made. We need to witness, by the way. And the right, listen, we have a hard outcome. And that's a big deal with what's happening the last couple of days here. And you don't know, obviously you're a focus at golf. I'm be called a terrible person because somebody else missed a hard out. We got a hard out in like 30 seconds or so. I need to let you know. Thank you for what you do for sport. Thank you for what you do for golf. We need to fucking witness Ryder Cup, okay? - Preaching in the choir, man. - Good luck this weekend, brother, you're the man. - All right, thanks, y'all. Appreciate it. - Please, John McCarty, Chef Lilac. - Hey, hey, hey. - Okay, little league world series continues here.

(whooshing) Football! - These fantastic and obviously training camps are holding their joint practices all around the league. We got fights, we got skirmishes, we got teams getting better, we got fun. We got good times, we got football happening right around the corner in a meaningful way. Tomorrow night, ESPN will have its first Monday night football game as the Raiders will take on the Texans. Texans have the best defense in ball. - Yeah. - And they're getting a chance to take on Fernando Mendoza who Clint Cubiac head coach of the Raiders set is going to get a lot of rub tomorrow night as Kirk Cousins probably going to rest after his joint practices took place. Niners, Chargers, Jets, Steelers, Panthers, Jax. Coats obviously hosting the Falcons in joint practice. Nine year NFL vet, Darius J Butler actually heading up to those after the show. - Can't wait. - The bunch of joint practices have become the new pre-season game it seems like. There used to be one or two that took place. Now it's just becoming norm. And it's only a matter of time before the new CBA or where somebody comes up the idea where, okay, we're going to do two pre-season games and then everybody has to do at least one joint practice. And we are going to film NFL Network. We are going to film these joint practices and have joint practice red zone type situation. And that'll fill the need for the pre-season games financially commercial-wise. And then also take away from these pre-season games that seemingly end up being a bunch of insurance sales been playing in like the third or fourth order. But nonetheless, we can learn a lot from joint practice. Good on good. We've got a lot of good juice coming out of all these places. - Absolutely. For us, on the outside, we just see the clips. We see the highlights where there's one on ones or maybe some patch for us or something like that. But for the players, for the coaches, like it's so, so valuable to just see different formations, different personal groupings. For the coaches, sending in different things because it can kind of get, you know, but not in this when you're seeing the same team, you're seeing the same plays. You almost can know the installs and what's coming from the defensive or off the inside of the ball when it's your same guys day in and day out. So seeing those new things, you know, not only just for that preseason game for, you know, 15, 20 reps, but for periods and practice, special teams, all these different things. So I know why the coaches love it. I know why the players love it. The bad part about it is the fights. The fights are going to come whether it's in the trenches or usually I see them in special teams. It's usually special teams that usually kicks off the fights. And that's just a part of it. But it's also learning, learning ability there too. If you do get kicked off, you throw a punch, maybe you get fired, maybe you get suspended, throwing out a practice, something like that. [BLANK_AUDIO]
You never want to see shit like this. - What if you do a German suplex like your uncle Rick Steiner and WCW and WWF? Hi. - Now that man has been suspended for six weeks due to performance enhancing, I do believe. So he's a lot of practice and joint practices. He's a lot of be a part of a skirmish where a helmet gets tossed in a German suplex takes place. And for my understanding, he didn't know that what he was taking, no classics and stuff. But yeah, he got after a little bit. And you talk about special teams normally being the case. That's 'cause that's where everybody's fighting for positions, you know? So he can't be making me look like some punk, okay? 'Cause now there's two teams that are gonna potentially be signing me for my livelihood here. So that's where you can kind of get to it. And also the wide open shots, there's a lot of running, there's a lot of uncomfortable angles at take place. You do see a lot of skirmishes down there at the bottom of us. - That was the first one I, rookie year, we had a joint practice with Sean Payton and Bill were close, so the Saints. And not just the bottom, 'cause Malcolm Jenkins was the first round pick that year. I was the second round pick that year. Boom, he, I think he was the gunner, we're a double team. And you know, if you got a double on the gunner, like we have to dominate this guy. - Put it down. - This ain't Matt Slater, like we ain't taking care and we trying to put him in the gatorade. So once he gets across that line and we keep going a little bit, you know, everybody gets involved, gets involved. So yeah, those are high, high intensity reps. - The only one I've ever been a part of in people are gonna say, Pat, as a punter, how are you a part of what happened near me? You're on camera. - Yeah, got it. - Yeah, I have to be part of it. So helmet goes on, it was D-line, O-line. I think it was Big Mookie, from, I think he had a helmet from my understanding like this. And the whole group was just kind of moving towards us. And Matt Irvington, I think he said right next to me, he goes, yup, yup, we'll help it on. And immediately back, I get in the back, getting the back of the group to a couple of these, you know, a couple of yells, and everybody walks away, helmet off, right back down to a knee. Obviously the clip is showing later, and it's like, hey, where do you get in there? It's like, yeah, hey, I'll show you. - The clip will be shown. - I will show you, yes it will. And that's the thing, like Lewis Riddick, future general manager in the NFL, he was very upset about the fights, 'cause he understands like the value of the, you could lose somebody, okay? And if you lose somebody from that stupid shit, it's like, so dumb. But Lewis Riddick also knows that in those meetings, I'll come you didn't, hey, get exposed. - Excuse me. All your friends are fighting right here? How come you're just like four yards away? So you need to walk me through what was going through your mind here. That person's potentially cut from team because of that. I mean, that is something that is actually being judged. So like, hope the fights don't happen, but if fights do happen, got to act right. - Oh yeah. - Like got to act right. So it's kind of a juxtaposition that all these players are kind of in, in these joint practices, which leads us to believe that these will be happening forever. If you have two very mature teams, maybe they'll be able to handle it, but joint practices are going to lead to a fight more often than they're not. And the Saints Cowboys one was the first one of the year that it's been like a full mail-in. - And that third clip we have of the fights, did you see Spencer Ratler? And that one, he was uncertain if he should get in or not, 'cause I guess he's a quarterback. So he's a lot do, he did right there. - Send in charge to me. - Yeah, give the hell out of there. - Yeah, let me talk to you. - Chuck Joyce, I've got to just walk around. - I don't want to see, I don't want to see Pat anywhere near a pile either, because who knows, who the next guy would be coming there, gotta play, or Vinnie, or any, so. - I mean, those are big shows. - Over, over too, you know, specialist, stay the hell out of there. - Oh, he got a show face, man. - You can be here, hell, little, little, little, big boys in there, fly around. - Yeah, you gotta, - Or their guy comes in there, you know, you maybe, close with me. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, golly fight. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Rocky, what are you, uh, talks to Teebs here at Buscon or Net Tishmit. Live from Manatican, Ohio, and he's lucky that the coats and the Packers didn't have the, this guy, the all-time, leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers. If I would've seen him on the other side, getting into it, you know, with that stone-hinge face that he has under there, I would've definitely left hand overtopped, rubbed up Facebook, and then he would've, broke my whole- - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, so I would've thrown a big overhand loop, and it is, he would've, boom, it, it, I assume this guy was causing skirmishes. - Bit of a man. - The whole, his whole football career. Stick in his face, rating things. Is the whistleblown? Yeah, is it? Okay, all right, I'll get up now. Ladies and gentlemen, a badass of a man of college, football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Rattacrub winner, AJ Hawk. - Hawking. - Hawking. - Hawking. - This left hand's going over two people and grabbing your face mask, you know what I mean? I'm doing one of these. - You know how mad that makes you, like, if someone grabs your face mask, it's like when girls fight and they grab each other's hair and they never let go. That's what it feels like if someone grabs your face mask, you gotta, you gotta chop that on very quick. - Yeah, I think you would probably break my forearm in that exact moment. I think Rob Gronkowski actually did that to somebody in a game for my recollection. I think Gronk, no, right, happen to Gronk. Remember Gronk? - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Special team, somebody came in, thinking you like on his arm? - Oh, that's on field goal. I don't know if it was a fight, but he did have his arm bent because he was on the wing. - Boom, yeah, and then he paid, he got payback for that. - Yeah, for sure. - There's somebody that did that to him. It was on our team. And then-- - The answer to the call. - Future years, there was a lot of remembering of, hey, yeah, I remember what you did to us. But that stuff, I think AJ, we've talked about this as long as we've had a show. Joint practice, inevitable, there's gonna be some fights. Now, Chuck Pogano reminded me that when I was on the team with the Bears, there was no fight. With the Lions, there was no fighting. He said they had the leaders come in, everybody talked, felt like maybe it was a little bit more mature team. But it feels inevitable. This is a big one, though. I will say, Saints Cowboys was massive, I think. Yeah, this is like a, this is a Donnie Brook, as coaches used to say, you want to try to protect from this, but this is kind of like, how many years ago do we see at the Cowboys camp out there, to where they had a huge brawl like this, that was right on like that, you know, the short little fence that separates the field from where the fans are, it was right up on top of the fence. So something about this region kind of just brings it out in these teams. - Aaron Donald, right? - Yes, and Connor Williams, I believe, was the center and he was a rookie or something he was with Aaron Donald's, yeah, and went all the way over to the fence. - Joining us as a gentleman now that has had to deal with this, and obviously I assume has some thoughts. He changed my mind on the hip drop tackle in one conversation. I do believe if he speaks up about football, all of us will listen, 'cause the amount of respect we have for him and his family, and how much they love football. Ladies and gentlemen, the head coach, a Los Angeles Chargers national champion, can't come back, Jim Horrible. - Yeah, yeah. - Thank you. - Hey, hey, Pat. - Coach, how you doing? How's life over the house training camp going? Life good? - Yeah, I mean, got my dobber down a little bit today. We had an injury yesterday at practice, and it just takes the wind out of your sails. You gotta sleep it off, one night wasn't enough, and you know, but trajectory of the team is outstanding. But yeah, you know, you get the player like Tyler Beatich, who was, let me just been so dialed in, so invested in the team, and you know, to see, really was a play that was probably a one in 10,000 type of play, where he had blocked it so well, and our left tackle and left guard had blocked it so well, and then blocked it so well that the defense attack or went into the side of the leg of Tyler, and just, yeah, that's a little blue, a little blue about it. - Yeah, thank you for being a human here with us about these types of injuries, because obviously, next man up, we gotta go, adversity's gonna happen is just all the natural cliches. I do appreciate you saying like, hey, this guy was gonna be a staple for us for a long time. This is a huge blow. How do you deal with that in the preseason? What is your messaging to the team? Because obviously, everybody sees it, everybody's gonna feel it, especially your quarterback who just lost his center. - Yeah. Yeah, and then, you know, just, yeah, Sur Andrew Bartney, it's a, you know, a fight on me, man. Sur Andrew said, I'm a little wounded, but not slain. I'll lay down and bleed a while, then I'll rise to fight again. That's what comes to mind. I know for Tyler. I know, you know, he's looking at some options, some second opinions. I mean, he's just helped bent on doing whatever he can to keep playing. And it introduces somebody, you know, to turning a negative into a positive. That's what you have to do. That's what he will do. And our team will, you know, our team will have a great resolve and they will bounce back. That, and they're gonna have to do it quick 'cause we gotta, we gotta game Thursday night. So that's the, you know, the focus will go to that. As I said, the trajectory of our team, you know, I'm gonna, I'll tell them tonight, you know, it's keep going. Keep going in the direction that we're going 'cause it's been, it's been tremendous. And this is a setback and you deal with it. And, and, you know, we move forward as a team. But yeah, right now you got me on. It's a sucks. Yeah, absolutely sucks. Yeah, we completely understand that. And we, what's that? That's poured everything. Guys poured everything into this. It's been such a tremendous addition to our team. And, and yeah, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you know, just about your lip and, uh, and then,
and figure out the ways, figure out the ways. He does, we do, as a team, figure out the ways to turn that negative into a positive. - Okay, so let's talk about what your teams have had happen because this obviously is a part of a trend. Last year, a lot of injuries to the offensive line. Obviously starting here, injury to the offensive line. One of the main reasons, I think the reason why you took the Chargers job, versus maybe some other jobs, is because in your words, the golden goose was at quarterback and Justin Herbert. You just came out and continued to sing his praises. What do you see from him now? He's in love, which we are all happy for. We are happy that he is in love for him. I'm happy he's found that happiness off the field. But what have you seen from him as quarterback now, versus maybe when he first got there, whenever you were singing his praises? What have you seen now as this adult version of Justin Herbert? - Just keeps getting better. He's in a great place in all ways. I mean, you mentioned it, there's a tremendous balance that he has, and he's locked, locked, ready to rock, and he's in a great place. - Okay, we'd like to hear that. Are you gonna have him pun or kick a fuel goal this year with McDaniel? We know we could expect some tricks. We know Herbert could do everything. We saw the clip of McDaniel saying to you, if he makes this throw, this is outrageous. Then he makes the throw, and your immediate reaction is, I could have made that throw. What have McDaniel and Herbert been like kind of watching them grow together, Coach? - It's a great fit, Pat. It's, you know, on every level, the way they've seen the game, the way they communicate, it's mutual respect, would probably be the thing that sums it up the best. And we all feel that toward Mike. I mean, everything that he's hard, you know? And we just, we want more and more of it. And I know Mike feels the same way about Justin, and yeah, that rapport has been built in a very, very special and good way for the chargers. - Do you think you could have made that throw after watching the film? - Yeah, I kind of thought I could. (all laughing) - Hey, if he needed, it was a great throw. It was a great throw. - Yeah, of course it was. And you could still spend it, we see you catch us still. Can't wait to see you out on the cleats back on the field. It feels like it's full football season whenever that's happening. You immediately afterwards, McDaniel being mind blown about the throw going, all right, let's calm down here. (all laughing) That is a beautiful thing. You and McDaniel, also going to be awesome to watch all season. AJ has a question for you, Coach. - Yeah, Coach, talking about that rapport between you and Coach McDaniel, I guess what has it been like compared to what you may have expected before he got there? I can only imagine that behind closed doors, meetings you guys have just talking all fence and trying to brainstorm, maybe some new ideas. - Yeah, it's been, I thought it was gonna be great. I really did. And just 'cause everything, I respect I have for Mike and his work and what he's accomplished and earned, and what I see and take. And I just, I wanted that for our football team. And everything that he's brought has been better than I'd hoped at hoped. I'd never really met him, I'd been around him, but I always liked him. I was just convinced that this is something I was just really gonna like. And yeah, I love him. The energy brings, the, just do anything and everything for the team. That gets me the most excited. And there's also like football, football nuggets like every single day, which I love. And learning football has been tremendous. How he sees it, how butchberry sees it, our offensive line coach, Chandler Handley, Max McCaffrey, Sanjay Lyle, chain day. It's a tremendous group of coaches that really come, they have a comment, on every single practice play that we run and they put it right into the computer and I read them all. And just something for our players, that's what excites me the most is that they are coaches that are trying to give the players anything and everything they can for them to be the best version of themselves. - I like that they pull in a computer for you. You take it out, pull in typewriter, fucking to send a pigeon carrier, pigeon out there. You know, do the entirety of it all. I like that you're here and your coaches are coaching every single play, trying to make the team better 'cause everybody thinks your team could obviously win it all if we're able to get into the dance as do you. Are you gonna start dressing like McDaniel last question from me? Are you gonna start maybe add a little fashion out there in LA? - Probably. - Good, smart. - Good for the team. Let's go for the team. Something to think about. Offense has a big day. Maybe you show up with little capri khaki things on. You know what those Gucci sunglasses? I think that'd be sick if you showed up like McDaniel. - That's the first, I think that'll be the first thing that the glasses, I really like 'em a lot. And I'd like to get a pair. - Smart. Hold on, what was something else you really liked? Oh, Brock Purti, man. Ho Kyle introduced me to Brock Purti. You're fucking Jim Harbaugh. I hope Kyle will introduce me to Brock. Did you get a chance to shake his hand? Did you guys talk about John? - Yeah, he was, I tried to walk over, but he was right in the middle of his preparation and getting the, he was out early, he was strong going through his process, but tried to. And did get a chance to talk to George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey and Drake Nugent. You know, also guys that have tremendous respect for. So, Chris and I had met before. I've never been that much around George, but he was phenomenal. All these guys, I mean, there's this great guys. It's a great organization. Outstanding to have that joint practice. I mean, there was no fights, no nothing even close. I mean, this was just two teams that were working hard to get better. It was a win-win, you know, minus the really blue injury that we had. - Yeah, one in 10,000 is what you said there earlier. Some people just get unlucky. That sucks for Tyler and for your team. And if for anybody that gets injured through this entire process, I have always had the opinion that unless, I mean, more often than not, a fight's gonna happen. You just mentioned how we had no fights, just two teams getting after it. Debud has a question about your entire approach to all of it. - Yeah, what is your approach to, I guess, playing your guys in preseason games or not playing an injury suck, you know, it's the 100% injury rate. Everybody's gonna get banged up. Some worse than others, obviously. But what's your approach to actually playing your guys in these preseason games? And how has it changed over the years for you as a head coach? - Yeah, I mean, it's a needle that you're trying to thread. You know, get your healthiest and best team to the first game and also be playing your best football. And, you know, so there's an element of, yeah, practice makes perfect. You have to build that callous for your football team. But also not the overuse of putting them in a situation, you know, is at risk. And, you know, there's no question playing the game so football is, you know, physical, physical at risk, sport for injury. So you're really trying to thread that needle. And what we didn't play our starters in game one, we're gonna play our starters, game two tomorrow night for one series and then in the third preseason game where we're gonna play our starters for two series. And that ramp up to the start of the season is our attempt to, yeah, get our healthiest and best football team to game one. - Yeah, let's make sure we get dicker to kicker to the season. Let's make sure we get him to the season. Okay, let's keep those hips fresh. Hammy's quads, you name it. What a weapon you have in that guy. By the way, over there. - If anybody knows you would, he is a guardian for victory. He is a guardian of victory, yes, you love him. A guardian of victory, what a day. I absolutely love that guy, gone man. - Yeah coach, obviously Mike McDaniel on the offensive side. But he also got a new DC and Chris O'Leary with Jesse Minner becoming the head coach in Baltimore. How has he been kind of being back in the building, being the main guy now in the lead play collar? - Yeah, he's been incredible. I mean, it's just every single day, same guy who is a user, he's a great football mind. He is a tremendous energy giver, toned center, just really good teammate. And he is on a trajectory that I would say the same thing. Just keep doing you, Chris. It's working, the defensive staff is doing a tremendous job. And the same, there's a trajectory there that it's great, keep sending. I just keep going. Okay, everything, this Tyler stuff sucks. Okay, we're all bummed, we need to keep going. Okay, we just need to keep going. 'Cause the season isn't waiting for anybody coach. You know that better anybody.
- Okay, what are the mods? Do we have any modders, monsters for the season, or is there any like taglines, slogans, or anything for the chargers this year that we need to know about? - No, not yet. We like to have those things come out natural. You know, as they come, there's no, but there's no motto or tagline that's preceded this season. Well, it'll happen. It'll be, it'll happen out natural. - All right, let us know if you want us to brainstorm over here and send them over. We got ideas, you know, we'll want to-- - Keep going, right there, you used to be. I mean, that's what we need to do right now, right? Just keep going, keep ascending, staying in this projectory and keep her going. Trust me. - I mean, all natural. - Not bad, yeah. - Not bad, you own own natural. I think I got a little French on there too. That's very deep of you, especially with international football that's happening. - Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, who knows? All right, coach, we appreciate you, man. You guys hear me up, you cheer me up, you're great guys, I appreciate it. - We try to get you in there, man. At the beginning, you're bummed the fuck out. I mean, actually, you still are, I think. But man, I'd never seen you like that. That was-- - You're close to high five, man. - Yeah, you're right, coach. - My daughter was down, my daughter's down. Gonna take some time. - Yep, get that dog her up. All right, bring it in, coach. Yeah, I just, I just go right to the end. (all laughing) - Oh, oh, no. - Oh, no. - Oh, no. - That's on the staff. - No, I'll put that on there. - No, no, no. Nice mose. - That guy. - Can we get the equipment room on that? - This is all for stock. - That guy? - Yeah. - Got it, bro. - Boom, stop hands. - All right, dude. - You're the best. - Love you, coach. - I'm gonna take coach and charge her. - Jam Marble. - Oh. - Oh. - Appreciate you, coach. Give her some high five. - Fought through there. - You too. - Man, he was bummed out. - Very bummed. - Don't know if I've ever seen someone like that. - Yeah. - Based on what they are normally. - Yeah. - To what we just saw at the beginning. - Gloss. - I like that. - That was awesome. - Very refreshing. - Very refreshing. - You don't see that in the NFL. I don't like you said that it's, hey, next man up, you know, obviously, we're gonna miss him a lot. But he was like speechless. Like, didn't know what to say. That was incredible. - He says, "Dobbers?" - Yeah, he says, "Dobbers." - I'm not. - I don't know what that is. - I mean, just like, just an overall aura. - I wanna say, the fact that tie's looking up is good for news for me. If the brain that got into Harvard has no idea what that is, that makes me, do you know what it means? - No. - It's an idiom. It's primarily used in the American South or the Appalachian, just means your spirits are mooder. - Raise your hand. Keep your chin up, it's you. - It's a dober, like a dober. - Yeah. - Like a fishing dober. - Correct. - Oh. - So, down would be good though, right? 'Cause down means, like a dober. - You think you have a dober? - I don't know, D-A-U-B-R. I don't know if that was a fishing one or not. So I couldn't. - Idiom dober. Dober down means you feel discouraged, downcast, or low on. Your bober's down, it's good, you got to play. - That's a bober. - Not a dober. - I know. - Yeah, maybe. Now, 'cause look, original, linguist debate whether it comes from a fishing float, bober, dober, dropping in the water, an old dialect word, dober, relating to a painter's tool or a lot, whatever case, bomb that. - We bomb that. - This one's down. - This one's down. - I was some fishing. - You have a, like Pat said, bober down, dober down is a good thing. - Good thing. - Like that means. - Yeah. - What does that mean? - I mean, somebody does a fish. One's on the line. - Oh, bober's not a dober. - No, but they might've called it dober down. We don't know if they call that dober somewhere. That's, I was just reading the screen and told me you fucking fishing reference right here. - True, it could also refer to a painting. - Livestock? - No, it could also refer to dober down pest solutions, which is a pest control company. - I saw that one right here in Florida. - Yeah, 'cause that's a waste of money. - That's it, yeah, if you're a pest. - Quite a pest. - Exactly. - Yeah, trying to control it. - He was bombed up. - Yeah, he was bombed out, man. Yeah, this, you got me on here. Right now, as you got me here, it's the worst I've felt in a long time, man. This guy, how much he poured into our team. Think about him and Herb. - Oh, yeah. - They're the wait room. That's where I assume all that means is like, hey, this guy was just our guy. - He was the first sign in a free agency, if I remember correctly, like three days before a free agency started. I'm pretty sure the chargeers, yeah, already announced that they were bringing this guy in to be the center for dressing her for the next three years. - Hey, congratulations, Tyler. Make quite an impact over there. Now coach Harbaugh and the chargeers, keep going, boys. - Keep going. (clapping) Keep going. Oh, natural. Keep going. - That's his baby, too, that old line. Like he loves, and he just, they just can't, you know, get healthy all together. Like, he got so much talent, so much potential. But, you know, hopefully next man does step up and hopefully-- - Conor's right, by the way. The tampering window was the ninth. He was signed on the sixth. - Yeah, yeah. - Everybody needs to know that this guy's coming to us. We would like to announce, his first pick, whenever he got to the NFL offensive lineman, his first signing before a thing comes to offensive lineman, he's doing again, they need to get it right in. Hembo's that actually says, they've tried, man. They've tried. No team has used more starting line combos last year than the charges of 11 different combos. - They're pretty rude. - It's five dudes. 11 ever combos. - Remember the half, five dudes have to play the son and I football rankings? - Yeah. - He's got a 150 eighths in the league. - They were all across the board. - Yeah, and then Justin Herbert. This guy could be the best ever. Now on that note, good luck, pal. You're gonna have to run for your life and then people are getting mad at him whenever he's caressing a hair and massing beer. He's lady. It's like this guy's been through hell. - Those are separate. - I heard it was all the work. - It was all work. - Well, they were doing it again yesterday, so they're working hard. - I heard it, Jay. - No, and Chris, my girlfriend-- - What, what, do you buy it? - I don't know yet, but all the court of it. And I think you mentioned, I don't know if it's on or off here. - It was on. - We were like, you know, all these quarterbacks kind of doing the same thing. - Oh, I didn't see that. - I didn't see that. - I didn't see that before. - I didn't see that. - Not all the court of it. - It's just interesting. - What do you mean, not all the court of it? And I'm not even talking about my guy who's throwing the ball better than anybody else, but I mean, let's talk about Josh Allen. Josh Allen is married to a very, very hot actress singer, everything. And she's very, very, very successful. - Yeah, Alistair. - And Alistair, thank you. That's the terminology. - She might be filming something. - Yeah, she's working. - She's working. - Well, I mean, what's everyone else doing? And also, she's being a mother. You know, she has the most important role. - I like you talking nice about Josh. - I love Josh Allen. I just don't like the Buffalo Beals. - It's tough. - I would like to go on the record is stating that I'm happy all these guys are in love. And I'm happy that football players are now like the, you know, musicians obviously have very famous relationships, actors have very famous relationships. Now it is like football guys. All right. And like the super famous pop culture relationships. Is that because Travis and Taylor? - Probably. - If we had to guess. But I think we should be happy for these folks. Find in love in a hopeless place, which is at the top of their mountains. - Well, yeah, we have spent before Travis. I mean, Tom and Giselle, of course, and you didn't see that. - Oh, yeah. - Smooch on the field. - Yeah, that's definitely similar to what Travis. - Well, how'd that one work out? - Yeah, it worked out great until that fricking karate teacher. It's Jujitsu. Little respect. - Karate. - Guy was disciplined man. - Always there. - He was. - He's always there. - It turns out that was something, huh? - Russ Sierra. - That was not just-- - Yeah, Russ Sierra, there you go. - Yeah, agreed. Saw them at the way. By the way, they were awesome. It was, I think I did a soldier boy near Sierra, like, we gain-- - That's what we did. - We don't even think the girl that dress blows up in the Jessica's-- - Marylyn Monroe. - Tony Romo, Jessica's sister. - Yeah, true. - Great. Chicken in the sea, never forget it. All right, let's talk about the things happening around the NFL that certainly haven't been chatted about yet. You know, we got the next class, basically, of potential next head coaches. A bunch of new school dudes have the boys at the ThunderDome we're kind of talking about in the coordinator positions, both on the offensive side and on the defensive side. Obviously, David Blah picks up the job at the commanders. He was quarterback coach now on offense coordinator. They cleaned house over there. Is he the next Kelli Moe to go get the next head coaching job? Or how about Mr. Flurry? Or how about Declan Doyle, Davis Webb, or Sean Manion? All these guys could potentially have an explosive year and be head coaches at your team next year, if your team is completely asked. And then on defense side, Jim Leonard, this guy's been talked about as being a defensive mastermind for a long time. Was in college, obviously, played well, played great. They got eye hopes for him up in Buffalo alongside Joe Brady. Will he be the next defensive-minded coach that potentially gets an opportunity because their team could win the Super Bowl? Chris O'Leary just chatted about him with what he's been bringing to the chargers. Mr. Jones, Christian Parker, Rob Leonard, and then Ritten Byrd over there in Cleveland. These are the names that could potentially be on the coaching carousel list for who's getting hired next with one great season. That is one of his nowadays, one great season away from potentially getting a head coaching job in the NFL. Yeah, I mean, it's awesome. We're getting to the age where a lot of these guys played like Blau and Manu and Webb and Jim Leonard. Like, we watched these guys play. Well, the back, of course, a little bit, but. And then, fun fact, I texted EQ Shipply because I was doing a little bit of research on Rob Leonard there. And I saw he was born in Moon Township. He's 38 years old. That's EQ's best friend from high school. Oh, really? I saw him take his selfie, I think, on the field last week. Yes. I didn't know he was the defensive coordinator. I was like, that's cool. EQ wrote somebody in the marketing department for the Raiders. Instead, Moon Township has created the defensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders. Congratulations to them. And I know the Moon Tigers and their drive-in movie theater are going to be celebrating a shit out of this tonight, especially over there at the International Airport. So far away from everything, but obviously a place we all have to go to. Rob Leonard came out of there and said, "Joey N order is my God." He did. Okay, when it comes to Doppler reading, not just Doppler reading. And now he's leading the Las Vegas Raiders defense that has Max Crosby on it. A bunch of news.
signings and potentially a team that's going to surprise absolutely everybody tie it. Yeah, without a doubt. And then one guy that we don't have up here who I think it's it's a foregone conclusion that he probably will get a head coaching job next year. At least I would assume is Nate Shieldhouse, who was the Rams passing game coordinator last year. The floor leaves. He's the OC now, maybe like a Declan Doyle type situation where he's not calling plays. It's McVays offense. But he's probably going to be a head coach. Rob Leonard's been doing us a long time. He's a high school cut out from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Robbie Leonard, Moon area, running back and DB played both ways. Oh, he had 1399 hole purpose yards led to Tigers in Russian and scoring where the hell's a queue? Leading the way in the trenches, yeah, 847 155 carries 11 touchdowns Leonard also had a team high six pitch. Wow. The unanimous first team. All parkway. Hey, listen. All parkway. You get on a y'all parkway team dogs offense and defense. Oh, league. What does that mean? All parkway. I genuinely have no idea. I couldn't get a big tree forever. That must be something. Please call a queue. Was he all parkway? That must be something out. That must be West Hills something. Yeah. I mean, making the old parkway team, I would be very proud of that. Okay. Parkway is obviously. We just called it all conference. Yeah. We should have a cooler name. All Valley was one of them too. Over there. Valley news dispatcher. Yeah. That's a birdie or whatever. It's called all parkways. They should have all driving movie theory. Yeah. That's cool. That's a moonhead. All highway team. That'd be sick. Yeah. That's on it. And a singer. Can they drive? Oh, they're fast. Fastest guys around. Maybe. Okay. Are we calling a queues? He played all three phases too. He also punted. Yeah. It was a backup quarter. Turnpunts. That's why he's DC. Maybe that's what it is. It's like him just a warm athlete to around. It was also backup quarterback. They said, yeah, obviously he's taking the snaps. Yeah. If the starting quarterback came, we're giving it to the guy that let us in tackles and rushes and yards and touchdowns and picks and was on the old parkway team for the moon tigers. Join us now as guy who'd never talked about being on the old parkway team. We have no idea. Former rimmington award winner. He stood at six foot in a half inch. Three hundred and fifty seven pound. Right. They're a movable object out of Penn State. Oh. What was he doing? Yeah. Lot of good names coming out of that. Yeah. Yeah. Snowpaw. I know. Ladies and gentlemen. ACU Shipley. Yeah. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. You always sell me short. I mean, it's. I was six one and a half. Oh. That was an inch off. All right. I was forty pounds less and I've even lost more since. I mean, it's unbelievable. I was talking about you playing football. I'm not talking about you now. Obviously, you're strapping lad. He had an absolutely handsome man. One of the top color commentators in all NFL. Tough to figure out a felt. Hey, were you all bark way with Rob Leonard? And you also know spy tech up there. What's going on? Do you have a direct line to the Las Vegas Raiders with Tom Brady? Once going under your cheeks to get a football during a Super Bowl run? Just posted a picture with Robbie Leonard on my story the other day. I just spent about an hour with them pregame. Arizona Cardinals versus the Vegas Raiders in the preseason. Spent about an hour with spy tech. Vegas Raiders got a team over there. It made a big free agency haul. Robbie Leonard is a dog. So let me, let me, let me start off with that. This dude undersized. Goes to W and J Washington and Jefferson outside of Pittsburgh. Roger. Goes about a year. I think there ends up walking on at NC State. Earns a scholarship. Becomes a two-year starter captain, linebacker. The whole nine. He's worked under Mike McDonald and John Harbott the Ravens. Ben with the Giants. Ben with the Dolphins. And now he's made a home out there at the Vegas Raiders. This dude just stood. Okay, I like the Robbie Leonard's getting an opportunity. No, nothing about him. Nothing. Half-feel terrible. I should have known he was all part-quake. Were you all part-quake or no? Come on. What do you like? Did you make all part-quake? Yeah, what the hell is all part-quake? Of course I was all part-quake. I was all American. Were you all part-quake? Were you wippy all of 22? USA. No, I had to say that. But sometimes the insurers are a little bit harsher judges than the rest of America. I'm learning that right now in real time with a lot of insurers attacking me for what everything I'm a part of right now. Did you make the all part-quake team or not? I need to know. I was all part-quake conference. I was 5-22. I was terrific 25. I was up for the WPO player of the year as a lineman. Let's relax. Oh, wow. Upway. Who won? Robbie Leonard. It sounds like. Oh, no. Nate Hardtong won that. Oh, the Hardtong. What year was that? I mean, the real players of the year had, I mean, the real Revis. Justin King. Oh, jeez. What's Justin King the part of that? He had five touchdowns on six touches against the club mustangs. Yeah, it's probably Justin King. Eugene Jarvis. You guys remember Eugene Jarvis? Oh, the dancing machine. Eugene? Yeah, I remember Eugene Jarvis so fast, so fast, so exposed. Neil Walker. He only played about 15 years in pro baseball. I mean, athletes come from Pittsburgh. We know that. Was Neil Walker all part-quake? I don't think so. I don't think so. I lost to Pine Richland to go to Heinz Field and Neil Walker. The PA player of the year was Justin King, so yeah, it was probably. Yeah. I tackled him. I don't know if he had five touchdowns on seven touches or seven touches or five touchdowns on six touches. Wherever the case, I got a tackle. You and Joe Hadley got him. It was five on seven. He was out by a third. Go, Hadley. Guitar player. And also all-time leading sack hammer for the poor mustangs. Half-part team was suspended because they went to breakfast and skip school, okay? That was an awesome week. I had a French test. Literally couldn't fail. And my grades were so bad in that particular class. Had to take the test. All the lads doing breakfast. Literally showing up to a school alone, okay? Taking this test. Half to take this test. Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. Pulls up on all the lads. It started a lot of text messages like, oh no, they're here. Where? Where I'm watching. Watching it all unfold. They all get walked their asses. It's a perp walk right down the hallway. Right into the principal. Suspended for everything. True. I looked like a hero because I was there. I was the person I think everybody would have thought not there instead. You guys are bad guys. Soccer team got taken out. Football team got taken out. I think our women's basketball team got taken. I mean, it was. The party. It was eating park and then there was a couple of houses that were happening. That was every year that was happening. So when I didn't go to school. Good for you. Take care of your study seriously. No, I was going to fail. Look at us. We went to school. See? Which is very important. They all met for breakfast before school one day. Yeah, it's like senior skit. Like it was like a day that was kind of like. Oh, okay. But I needed to pass. Like this thing would have got me not. Was it on game day? No, it's early. It was like Monday or Tuesday. May Tuesday. I think it was like a Tuesday. Play when that news started ripping through the school. I was very worried about everybody. I'm like, man, our whole team is about to be fucked because I knew. There's people hiding under the tables and eating park. If I'm not, then I'm going back to it. There's people hiding under tables. So good. Smiley cookies. Let's go. Had him a couple of days ago. Not cardboard. They're actually pretty good. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, all Parkway member in 2007. No, 2003, 2004. Ladies and gentlemen, take you. Shipley. That was a crazy day. You think those kids still do that stuff? Yep. They do. Yeah, you would know. I think the senior off, they do. But the school is aware of it now, right? Isn't it one of those things you're like the school knows? We get to leave school now. We were never allowed to leave school. Oh, yeah. Some, like my daughter, she will leave like, like, 12 something, do like half days and say, like, how it schedules kind of. Yeah. Some kids can. Yeah. I'll tell you what. You should have heard me telling people that I was in. Okay. You see everybody. Everybody. How many guys? Like, you know, a bunch of guys not be able to dress for that game. Yeah. Yeah. That was on the football team. Yeah. Soccer team had 10 people probably. All seniors and juniors, obviously. They could all play. We were playing kids that weren't even starting on JV. Yeah. It was a lot of fun. I got a snap. If I do recall that took six bounces. Okay. Then I caught it and I was running to the left and I was going to try to get it. Obviously, Gateway, as you were playing that week, they're very good. Come and kill me. I go to punt that thing lefty. Yeah. Right. Dead. Okay. Kick off. Justin King. I think probably eight yards deep in the end zone brings that thing up. Right by me. That's a touchdown. This guy already has two touchdowns on the day. Catches a sweep. Third touchdown. Then I think I had to punt to him. And then he just accidentally like stumbled and I like grabbed him and tackled him. I come to the sideline. And I forget who it was. Maybe Kurtz asked for something like that. It came out to me. It was like. You're the only guy that has tackled him today. I like it. I haven't even thought of that. I haven't even thought of it. It was fun. Man, high school football is happening right now. Is it already started? Oh yeah. It just started. I know in Florida. South Florida week zero just happened. Yeah. We started the jamborees or whatever. A lot of big time matchups. You know, kind of like we talked about yesterday with the college. It was almost like the big, big time schools are matching up. But it doesn't count against their record. So it is underway. But yeah, I didn't know you got. I didn't know plum didn't love ball. You ever school? You ever have. I'm talking about. You ever seen Twitter ends on dance? It was kind of like that. Yeah, it was. I haven't seen that. I mean. You've definitely seen varsity blues. Have you seen varsity blues? Run a couple. Nah. Oh, but. The fucking tin. But. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of how we roll. Wrestling piece. That was kind of what Paul was like at that time. Now, granted, I don't think the coaches and the administrators. We didn't win as many games as the varsity blues boys were. No, no, no. I mean, the players and teachers. Killers guys. Necessarily on our side either. Like I don't think that was necessary. So they just taken us to end and making things.
I would assume yeah, it's bullshit. Yeah, it is over ZLS IDs. Yeah, and assistant principles and I mean, I don't want to get into it all But yeah, a lot of those. Yeah, you know, it was a great relationship. We had with our school great relationship Still dude, we're all my stanks here. That's right Big-year common Absolutely got dogs crossed the board Soccer team both of them women and girls and boys. We're gonna win state Plum football team about to just go undefeated. Give the boys a little motivational speech last year You know they're carrying that into this year. We're going down to Florida too I think midway through good smack some of your schools I'm actually I'm in the process right now. I'm launching this IMG you want some come get some I'll fly the boys down. I'll fly the boys down IMG just so you can get a little taste of what's going on those ease pills Those will be televised soon actually those IMG games definitely that that is that this weekend or next weekend That's around the corner. Yeah, IMG. What do they have they have a top 10 player in the NFL draft ever like the last like eight drafts? I think it's pretty good little high school. Yeah, I think they also have like professional tennis players and oh, yeah Baseball volleyball I wish they counted that at the high school. I like it as a prep school. It's like an academy or professional athletic. Yeah Why is there beaten hell out of teams on Florida? Is that what's happening? I mean, do you even go to class? I feel like a st. Thomas. I think like st. Thomas Aquana's like that's a high school That's where you could just say okay talent. It's coming. That's sort of both brothers when it's weird. You know, if dances and stuff Probably yeah, exactly like sister school school, but like IMG. That's like out there. I count as like a pro. There's no problem at IMG I bet no that's cuz they're working Let's talk about in May. Yeah, right. That's perfect time to get after it I don't we got baseball happening. We got offseason football happening. You think we got time to go have a date tomorrow night on ESPN 2 Bo we have high school football starting hell. Yes. Yes. What's that you look guys? I am G has a problem Shot I know we're a problem. I don't like that. Actually. Yeah, right. Yeah, did you see that by chance? What's that highlights? Okay? So I have it on seven and then so that was a scrimmage. Okay, so that was just a scrimmage so Peyton was obviously at the Hall of Fame. That was the night before the Hall of Fame. Yeah, so obviously Marshall's highlights hit the internet and go crazy cuz he's spinning it and we've watched him since he was literally like this big start Spinnan almost like we saw the manning boys as kids with Archie and the commercials and everything like that and I saw Peyton on Saturday at the Hall of Fame and I'm like congrats on it. I heard you They're a boy get in last night and he goes scrimmage It's just scrimmage just scrimmage and I was like, okay, cuz I know he would be very bummed if he missed Obviously his first which I thought happened in real time and I knew I mean that guy I don't want to speak to out of pocket here, but he wanted to be a great dad Right, so that's why the timing in which he had kids was like so late so the amount he has poured into his kids Marshall and Moses I I am very impressed by it's coaching their team. Yeah Seven on seven like he's he is all in on him So whenever I saw Marshall playing and then I heard Peyton was out there I'm like man, that sucks that you miss it. He's like scrimmage scrimmage just scrimmage. It's like all right sounds good Yeah, I used to look like it was seven on seven and there was highlights I think the running back that he plays with is the number one running back in the country because there was highlights later of him Against 11 11 so I was confused but that makes a lot more powerhouse down here, so you've heard or Brat no bailer brat but no, I think the Georgia school. They were scrimmaging against is the powerhouse in Georgia Okay, so I believe this is the youngest manning boy, and I believe I don't know if you're recruited to the score Talk like I believe he wanted to do it as well for the football so this was a big decision I was obviously made getting a chance to go back Tennessee. He's gonna be a guy. Yeah, that in yes The story about the manning passing Academy that Pete Dammel did worth to watch very very very well done I think it's on social. I don't know where else they have it at But it's on the ESPN socials just talking about that manning and passing Academy And then it's very evident how much the manning's love ball, you know like it is literally who they are as people It is what they are as humans and the amount they give back down there is absurd. Okay, AJ Let's chitchat a little bit about you know stats that have been going for 36 years yesterday We brought it up, but we didn't make our own picks for 36 consecutive seasons unless at least four teams that missed a playoff The year prior have gotten in the following season You can go from the outhouse to the penthouse you can be shite and then very good quickly We've seen it. It is the reason why fan bases get so pumped up about firing a coach and moving on We've seen these other places go from last and ask all the way up into the playoffs to dance in so why won't we do that? Which four of these teams do you believe has the best opportunity to make the playoffs hard not to immediately go well The coach gonna make the playoffs. I know that so that's I'm picking them patch of homes is up here MCDC's up here, Tak Prescott's up here, and then you go Kevin O'Connor with Kyler Murray If that ends up working, how are they gonna run are they gonna run run just like they did a few years back where they're almost a Number one seed in the NFC AJ What are some teams that you're looking at that go you know what maybe another one for me why not the Raiders? Yeah, why not the Raiders especially Fernando is what we think he is and by we I'm speaking for me I don't want to speak for everybody else I think Fernando is going to be very fucking good in the NFL the way he talks Chuck Pagano and message he sent me he's like he sounds a lot like Andrew with the way he is kind of talking Super upbeat super team guy. He is beloved able to make all the play smart enough to handle it I think Fernandez gonna be very good is that this year where they make the jump to go to the playoffs or is it like they're building for another year? And it's the next year AJ. Who do you think who do you like just one or two teams? Well if I'm taking four I'm taking Vikings Cowboys bangles chiefs here off this list right now give me two of the NFC two of the ASC I wouldn't like to throw I don't like leaving the Ravens out I have a hard time with them the Lions maybe but yeah those will be my for Viking Can you see the Cowboys not making the playoffs this year? I can't know especially with all the reports out of camp and I like how every one of them fought AJ yeah, yeah, I like that if we don't want to fight But if we're gonna judge a fight everybody seemingly in a Cowboys uniform that was within earshot got into that fight And so did the Saints so maybe the Saints should be a part of this conversation D. But who are you for you? Know what I want him to go just playoffs. I'll say like making a deep playoff run So when in a game you don't mind. I would go just two one from each side like a deep playoff Super Bowl run and that would be the Cowboys I'm very very high on the Cowboys love shotty love deck love their defense I think Christian Park is gonna make a huge huge difference. So I go with the Cowboys from that side and then the easy pick Would be the chiefs patch with my homes in the chiefs, but I'm gonna go with the Ravens again I feel like the Ravens are always a popular pick to make a run of the Super Bowl They're always up there. They're famous NFC. Yep, they got a two-time MVP Quarterback, we popped up those new school dudes. He does have a very young offensive coordinator calling plays from Mar Jackson But a lot of defensive pieces on there a lot of number one picks. I'm gonna go with the Ravens and the Cowboys making deep playoff runs They're saying Jacobi Lane should be a big piece for the Baltimore Ravens They lose likely which is a huge target He wants a New York Giants that is a massive deal. That's not being talked about until about week 11 You know that would you try to likely will go crazy across the middle for the Giants and everybody will say oh, yeah They got likely 80 up there in New York because normally we only see him do highlights con man Who are the four or two that you like? I like the Giants actually the Giants feel the most like to me the the Patriots of last year Where they bring in a veteran coach. They've had a quarterback for a year He learns a little bit. I know we just watched Jackson dark it absolutely obliterated in the first preseason game But I think that might even be better for him that he gets that out of the way and realizes like okay Actually can't take those shots also love the Lions in the NFC I feel like the Lions. I don't know if they play a outdoor game until week 17 or something itself true It's some ridiculous stats. It's the worst time to play an outdoor game If we're gonna talk about it for sure, but if Goof only has one of those and it's not till week 17 I love that for Detroit and then from the AFC. I kind of love the Titans as well I mean the Raiders and the Titans to me kind of wreak of the most Kind of big turnarounds from their team. They both were number one in number two in free agent spending That's another thing the Patriots did last year the Seahawks also were top five last year We know what both those teams did and then Bob Salah Bob Salah We pull up the stat. I think it was either late last week or early this week as far as defensive turnarounds from 32nd Top tier Bob Salah was the guy that took the Jets from 32nd to seventh or eighth I forget the exact number, but I love what they're doing and I love camwort like camwort now is Brian dayball They went top five receiver and carnaltate the number one off the board who went to IMG Academy speaking of so a key That's a guy that's probably gonna come in immediately. Do well Wanda Robinson I love those kind of four teams making an turn around Yeah, you like the spend stat and I do too because if like teams are trying to win do they win? They do is what stats are saying so if teams are going for it in March everybody says can't win Super in March April. It's like actually stats are telling us if you spend money you actually do have better success if you're paying the right players They got to stay healthy dayball also potentially going right back to being a head coach if he can get cam warden to play on schedule And they have a great run this year tie. Who do you like? I you know I probably wouldn't have said this a couple weeks ago and we were talking about it But I think I'm kind of getting back in on the bucket years. I think bake is gonna be he's gonna have a massive chip on his shoulder I think he's gonna have a really good year if they can get Vita Veda done. That's obviously huge I'm also I agree with Connor on the lines. I just have a tough time seeing they're so talented and you know I mean obviously like the football power index and all that bullshit No one really reads into that but like when you see when you just look at their roster on paper They are very very good and if they they can stay somewhat healthy. I mean they're so banged up last year. I'd have a tough time not seeing them potentially win that division at the
very least get into the playoffs. I also like the Titans. I think Bob Salah learned quite a bit from his, we talked about it last, when he was the head coach of the Jets, it's like, this isn't the same guy. Where was the defensive coordinator for the 49ers who was going ape shit on the sidelines? Like, it was a completely different person. It's almost like he neutered himself. I think he'll be different. And then I agree, I think that the Ravens, I expect them to have a deep run into the playoffs this year as well. Okay, so Titans getting a lot of love here. I like that for the city of Nashville, music city. Obviously, new uniforms looks spectacular. New era potentially. His cam ward going to come into his own and be a stud. Top AFC South. I like how much you guys like him all of a sudden. Go ahead and tell him. I'm going to go one from the AFC. And I think that's the bangles. I like their schedule a lot. I like what they did with sexy dexies. So I'm going to go with the bangles in the AFC. And then the top three teams in that top row for the NFC, Cowboys, Lions and Bucks. Those would be my fourth position. Okay, so you got three from the NFC going. One from the AFC. No mention of the Colts. I noticed that. The problem with the Colts. None, AJ. Did you? You didn't. You could have said it, too. You suck. I could have. What were you going to say? I wouldn't be shocked. I would not be shocked if the Colts make the playoffs. That would not shock you. But there was not in my top four of teams. I had to pick from this. Yeah, I heard. What were you going to say, though? I'm just saying it feels like with a lot of teams every year with camp. It's like all good stuff. And aside from Dan Jones looking like he has in Turner's Killers, which is the biggest thing. There hasn't been any good stuff. Tyler Warren's catching everything. Absolutely. Tyler Warren's great. Point Nelson saying, I don't care about my contract. They're going to have to pay me a shit ton of money at some point. I'm just out here to work. Saws guy younger. Saws Gardner looks faster. Okay. Carrie. Look forward to it. Saws Gardner. I think we all know the story with Saws. And for me personally, he was great his first two years and he's still very young. He hasn't been worth a shit since. Okay. I disagree with that. Those three years. And two. Thank you. Debut knows. And I disagree. He's a great Indianapolis Colts. I'm going to practice as soon as we go off here. He's actually a terrible Indianapolis Coltman. Some would say I would say. I got a cap. I got a cap for the kids. Which was cool. When Bama showed up, Monshawn sales, I guess I've learned since Monshawn committed to Indiana University on our show live on our show, we met his entire family. I guess they call him Bama, because he's originally as a kid from Bama moves up to Indiana. He came through the Gridiron gang with Robert Matthews, who obviously we've been very lucky to kind of partner with him and help that entire thing. He showed up at, he showed up at sauce camp and just said, hey, you want to run one real quick? And so I say, I can refer to FLCs. Which is a good move. Damn right. Because there's no winning. I got no way to lose. Was that AJ? Was so funny. He's got to protect his body. He got to be smart. Like, I wouldn't want to take him on either. Amen. Especially if you see this Monshawn is a, he's a house. House dude. He's gigantic. These younger wide receivers are all big. They're all D N's. Yeah. If you just look at what Ohio State has, Jeremiah Smith, Chris Henry Jr., if they were to line up at D N, everybody'd be like, yep, that's, that's exactly that's supposed to be instead. They're running four threes outside, catching from Mr. Sane, who's going to go crazy, potentially. Ryan Day, not the number one team in the country in Tone Diggs is that. That's right. Sorry. It was Oregon. Congrats. The day in landing on winning a preseason national championship. And congrats to Ryan Day, winning two of them. That's a hard outcome. It does not care. If we stop talking or not, nice, I think I did carry through a little bit, I think, for the art effect, you know, for my particular heart, I think it will cut me off media. Just to showcase the importance of what a hard out is taking a lot of heat on that AJ. I was taking a lot of. Yeah, I did not care. I know, but that's why I was glad you guys put the graphics together and explain the hard out situation. It's true. Like, this thing is not does not care about anything. It is going to happen no matter what. Yeah, now granted, Bruce said today was a funny day actually in master control and in delay. There was multiple people counting. So I think there was potentially a little bit of a, let's make sure we got multiple mouths doing the countdown. So everybody can hear it after what happened yesterday with Mr. Ross Moose and the founder of ESPN. And I did see the reaction on the internet. Yeah, it was, it was, it was perfect timing for it, you know. Sure. Just right with everything going on. It was a lot of fun. It's been a blast. So dumb. I agree. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. I was going to say, I was just take a break, you know, because we're lucky and fortunate that we get to do this for a living. So I'm not going to say shit, you know, about shit, but boy, it's getting pretty ridiculous out there at this stage. I mean, the, the RMEAR of thing today is just a perfect encapsulation, you know, it would take three, four actual pictures and then it's just like, come, you know, that's not him. You got to know that it's not. There's so many pictures out there. You could, you could hold a tune here. I mean, it took me two seconds. I was like, who the fuck is that? Who the fuck is that? Who the fuck is this guy? With a different picture. You had absolutely. Absolutely. Fucking picture. You do look absolutely yoked in it though. So I'm just, thank you. The Professor of Rugby and R, you can stuff your sorry's in a sack, Paul. Yeah. Oh, he says sorry. Yeah. Oh, I didn't see that for Mario. We use a lot of R's shit. So like, which I thought, you know, it was, it was a good thing and you should just send some like, professional headshots to a few accounts like, I mean, yeah, I'm sure they'll, yeah. Right. Hey, just use these. Yeah, I'm sure they'll do that. I'm sure that'll be the case. It's been a lot of fun. It's been a fun week on your net. You know, we're born in the internet though, you know, born in the dark, born in your net. So there's kind of part of the game, you know, it's got to kind of be a part of it, I guess, and just wake up and. That's how it flows. Read how terrible the human you are and how you should be super pumped about something, but also, you know, make sure you read what this fucking dickhead has the same who couldn't hold my fucking microphone ever in his fucking life. Now, on that note, excited for a football season. Okay. Now very excited for a football season, very lucky to be a part of this football season in the way that we're going to be. And let's take a break and on the other side, let's go ahead and cover everything taken place around the world. Hell yeah. Okay. Hell yeah. Russian. Oh yeah. A baseball showing up in a huge way for us. Obviously, joint practices are going to continue to roll on. We'll see if Schaeftor is breaking any more news. There should be a fun time here on the other side, and we're thankful and lucky and happy we get to do it. And we'll continue to do it for as long as you'll have us, because we can't thank all of you. Enough for your friend, telephone, something nice. My change of life. Take. Bye. Bye. Bye. -Fu-ba! -It is fantastic. That's AJ. Hawk, the toxic tables here at Boston Conor and that Ty Schmidt, one half of the hammer, DAD. Cowboys, AP Tonys here, and nine year NFL vet, Darius Jay Butler here. -Yeah, yeah. -Dee, but I said it going into the last break there. Baseball's doing it. -Yeah. -Baseball is really bringing it right now. A lot of highlights. We're getting into an important stretch, I believe, for baseball as Fall obviously brings playoff baseball, which is not only just best to seven series is, but the best players playing in the biggest moments for baseball, which could potentially be the last year of baseball. Now there's an investigation taking place in one particular team that is certainly offset the scales a little bit and how money has been used over the last few years and going into the future. But baseball is bringing it damn near every single night tie. Fernando Tatee's junior, I know he hits absolute bombs. I had no ideas. Robin home runs, and then not only Robin home runs, Stern Don, and then a natural, I mean, the flip from the glove to his hand afterwards, which comes from the fans. Perspective is crazy. What a catch. High. Obviously snacks that grand slam there. That would have been the guy that hit that thought he had a grand slam on a dog. -Absolutely dog. I didn't know slam Diego had it like this. I didn't know Fernando had it like this. But it feels like this is happening like every single night we got highlights time. -Yeah. Tatee's is an absolute showman. He had a really slow start to the year in concert because he's a power hitter, but he didn't hit a home run for a really long time. That's one thing with baseball when guys flash the glove a little bit when their defense is on usually it reaps benefits at the play to hit two homers last night as well. But there are a cluster of so many teams that are close to the playoffs right now. It's not playoff baseball for them, but the Padres are in a position where they have the playoffs. Their sights set on that. And there are like eight teams that are maybe within one or two games of them are all of each other in the NL playoffs. Same deal in the A.L. So like while it does seem like you know like the Cubs, the Brewers, the Dodgers are the clear cut favorites. They're kind of, you know, they have much better records than everybody else. Like 60% of the NL and like 65 to 70% of the A.L. Like although these teams maybe haven't had the seasons that they wanted, like they're still very much in the playoff race. So like every, every single one of these games every night matters. Cubs, Brewers, Dodgers, Reyes. I saw had a really nice tournament up there. They would certainly be a case study on. Hey, you don't have to spend deferred billions of dollars to win because I guess they spend nothing. And they're currently sitting at 75 in 50. You said the Brewers and the Cubs are our heavy favorites one and so thing. We got to get the Pirates out of their division. We got it. We got to get the Pirates out of there. Okay. We need to move immediately. I don't know how that happens who we need to talk to. But during this lockout, we need to get the buckles the hell out of that fucking division. Now, Skino, they're giving them a break. What are we learning about? He went today. How's that going? Good. You can imagine. I can't. Three of the Tigers right now. He went four innings, uh, didn't touch 98.
again. Show them down most walks. Yes, most walks in the season. Well, yeah, they he has a five day cycle. They delay that thing. Obviously he's going to be off. Kilt's are a little bit. Tigers are good baseball team with everybody's relax here. Schino not hitting 98 has been the story, right? There's something wrong with him is what everybody thinks. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, I believe so I mean, we talked to Schino a little bit. He said that, you know, he felt good. It wasn't, you know, like he wasn't injured, but something's going on. You don't go from throwing a hundred and one every single time, like deep into games to like dig said, like throwing 65 pitches at this point in the season and then getting pulled or today. The whole, the whole point was like, he's just a little run down. He's a little tired. We need to give him a couple extra days of rest and recuperation in between starts. And if he only went for innings today and he's walking a bunch of guys, 80 pit, like it just something's going on. And I suppose the pirates, if they got hot right now because there is still a little over a month left. Like the buckos could still make the playoffs. But at this point, like you got you got to shut him down because I personally think something is wrong. And it might be as something as simple as he has arthroscopic surgery. And they just like clean up some scar tissue or whatever, but he is very clearly not the same guy that he was last year. And he should be a guy who every time he goes out there, he dominates. We think Pittsburgh sports that were the ones sports that Pittsburgh were the ones that put this stat up there. This is kind of what everybody's talking about is what Ty was just talking about. This is what Tony was just talking about. And remember, all the way back to World Baseball Classic, okay, which Skeno was very thankful to be a part of lucky to be a part of Felik. He was leading. He wasn't throwing fast. And remember, Dero was like, he's not over pitching right now. He's kind of picking guys apart. He's kind of still working into it a little bit. Turns out that it's carried. We hope Skeno gets healthy. D-butt will like shut him down. Shut him down. Two back great. He's got a bad case of Dero. I think he showed up, I think he showed up like that. I think because remember, Dero was saying he's not overthrown. I think he told us that, right? He pitched well in the World Baseball Classic, too. Like everything up a month. Yeah. Then it didn't matter because like he was throwing a hundred and some. I don't think so. I think he touched it a couple times, you know, which again, that early, but I think that probably a part of that too was like adrenaline because we talked about it at the time. Like those were, those were the most important impactful games that he had played in since he was in the national championship at LSU. Like those were huge moments. But you know, like it just in the middle of the summer for how big he is, what we've seen him do before. Like he should be throwing a hundred plus. It's just, it's really weird to see him. I mean, we're, you know, it doesn't seem like a lot, but like a six miles an hour of velocity, like that drop off. Like that's a shitload. That's a ton. Yeah. If I lost five yards off a kick, I think everybody would be like, "Hey, he's everything okay." We have been doing that to Paul. Paul, I think, has said, "No, I'm good," which is why they're still putting him out there. Let's go away for Paul. Hey, Paul, we love you, buddy. You've got it. I'm like everybody saying, taking pictures of him at the beach casually, relaxing. Okay. With his face, right? Some of us had to be fake. They were all real. But on that note, nobody, no pitcher, I don't know, basically, I don't know if I guess it's true. Pitchers. I'm not trying to beat his body, Bill, Jack. Quarterbacks normally not jacked, because it's like, you know, fluidity. Got to be pliable. Yeah. You got to be able to. Yeah. So everybody was like, "Look out. Look at his fat." So I can't. I was like, "Maybe." You know the bad bodies. Yeah. Pitchers. Quarterbacks as well. Yeah. Andrew's other baseball. Andrew Luck was absolutely nuts. Tom Rays, Jack, that's what was in. We still, Jack. We saw the comment. We saw the comment. He's dappin' up Chris Long or Andre John's. We've seen the clips from him. Now he is. But that's recently. I know he's super healthy, but remember, there was a, we had a, the butt chair. You seen the comment, by the way. I mean, that was, that was an old version. That's what I was saying. Brohan, Tom, that's a 25 years old. He was, I wouldn't say Jack, but he was in good shape. That's what we're saying. He's healthy, for sure. Super healthy, but not like ripped, not like Jack and shredded. The story Tom Brady told about going down and working out with Peyton Manning and ordering like oatmeal and I'll take some fruit and then get some Peyton and go, "I need some biscuits and gravy for sure. Do you got pancake? Give me the waffle and the pancake there. I'll take some fresh squeeze orange juice, some sweet tea that you have, and also I need some of the grits. Obviously, put some cheese on there as well." And Tom Brady thought to himself, "What the fuck is this guy?" That, that is why football is so great. Anybody can kind of get after and win, but Peyton Manning was not a jacked individual as well. I see him Randy, who were the. Yeah, I mean you're chilling wasn't that. Usually any of like the like the best pitchers in baseball right now, like, yeah. They've got big old legs. The guys are in great shape, but yeah, they're not like, you wouldn't look at them and be like, "Holy shit, this guy's fucking jacked." Let's stay with baseball. Let's go to the cross-town classic, cross-town series, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Socks, PCA, boom! Back-to-back, lead-off dorms. He's the only player in MLB history to have back-to-back lead-offs and a walk-off home run in two games, a series. Obviously, his MVP candidacy does continue. PCA wasn't the only one that showed up in this particular game. Moonshot Ataka hit an absolute rocket ship and he placed one ape shit, hits it off scoreboard out there, Oppo. So Moonshot, I think that was his 29th home run on the season for Moonshot Ataka Morakami. And then the Cubs, back-to-back nights, not only do they electrify the entire cross-town classic, they have a walk-off, you know. This is what baseball is delivering, though, every single night it feels like. Shout out to the sport that may be because of a investigation into a clearing of books that needs to happen is not dead next year. Yeah, it'll be very interesting. Like, so much of that stuff came out yesterday when a couple sleuths looked into like how the Dodgers essentially operate. And now we're finding out that, you know, Mark Walter might be just a big-time fraudster, so we don't know what's going on there. But, yeah, I mean, essentially what I took away from it, and I would need like a lawyer or someone who's very, you know, much more well-versed in this stuff than me to like actually explain it. But like, all of that deferred money, like they're gonna have to find a way to get that off the books. They're not gonna be able to keep all these guys that they are doing millions and millions and millions of dollars through like 2047. It is essentially like, oh, he's created like a loop. So like his company's funnel money into his other company is insure money. Exactly. Defer money. Yes. So this money. It's just a never-hard thing. He tried selling the two sold. Yeah, which is an eight-something billion or something, but he also had, I guess, insurance on that particular thing as well. It's, I don't think it's a ledger at this point. I mean, I believe it is all alleged. Yeah. But I think from what is coming out and what is happening, everybody's like, he has to like December 31st, is he's kind of the working theory. This year? Yeah. That's why there's huge loans coming do, right? Yeah. And it's said that him selling the Lakers is only it only accounts for like a third of what he owes. And that's why the Genie bus, bus family, court thing could potentially, you know, carry into it. Yeah. He's on a run, right? I sense why it happened so quickly. We've never seen that before. Yeah. It's like, all right. How much do I need? What do I need to have happen? Okay. You've got it. Sick. December 31st. I looked into this. Obviously, Guggenheim partners. He is the CEO of that is 350 billion. I think they have in assets that he manages. So I think anything that he was doing, people would think, yes, he could have access to that. And I think what he did would have been legal if he would have just like told regulators and told people like, I think there had to be votes on stuff. So I think that is why he's getting like kind of reprieve here because it's like you didn't go through the proper steps to do what you were doing. But if you own a 350 billion dollar money thing and then you own a massive insurance company as well, right? And then you have these professional sports teams. You can kind of take out some insurance on some of the stuff and then it's all kind of working together. But allegedly, he could have done this in a legal fashion from what we're reading. Bruce, you read into it a little bit more. I think that's why he's getting the opportunity to be like, yeah, you just got to. Yeah, it's essentially in the process of taking the loan from the insurance company, you check whether it's a affiliated business of the insurer or whoever owns the insurer or unaffiliated. He was checking unaffiliated when in fact all the who the loans were going to were affiliated to him. Clare Coair. Yeah. Clare Coair. Now, okay, if that's case, we need it in the number, I think it's like people are projecting 15, 20 billion. He has to find it. And that is obviously with taxes and everything to find fluid that like you're going to have to. I don't know. I don't know how you go about do it. I genuinely do. But he knows. Yes. Like or see. Yeah. Don't see you. Chelsea. See, I think he's got a French team too. I think he has a some team in the French league as well. See. That one cat. Maybe it's got the cat. That's one. That building's not done yet. Yeah. So from from our understanding. And he also the PWH. Oh, I think he. Yeah. The Walter Cup. He is the name of the entire women's hockey leagues trophy because he founded the whole entire league. Wow. Yeah. No name right. Yeah. So. Hey. Is it always going to be the Walter Cup? And if if you change the name, does it still have it's important? Yeah. Same luster. That's all I'm drinking out of that thing. Well, it was a good time. I want to see him figure this. I need a hard nox. Just mark Walter. He's like looking at him. Part of the eight four years. He's sitting like this right now. Yeah. He's got like, here's the number. Okay. What can we get? What can we get? Well, it's over half billions coming from the Lakers. Excuse me. Come again. Who's that? When can I pay tomorrow? Yeah. Deal. What would like that one? What about the bus family? They're going to have to figure that one out themselves. They certainly did. Let me look at Chelsea here. What can we get for that? People are paying a lot of money for soccer teams. Right? Get it out of here. Okay. What else? Sparks. I own the Los Angeles Sparks.
- Get it out of here. Go get on. I don't think he has his job anymore. It's just him staring at his assets going gone, see ya, meet this, and it would still be enough. - Sounds like no, honestly. - I saw Bill Simmons talk about it. He's like, "Hey, this feels like he's not gonna be able to get there." It's like, if a guy can just find that many billions in like four or five months, that's a fucking. - Yeah. - I mean, I got an idea. Put a billion bucks on PCA to hit a homework. - Okay. (laughing) - He's not doing anything responsible. So we don't even have to say that for him. He can do whatever. He's the grass for that straws here. Hey, here's another idea. If PCA hits a homework, you know it's gonna happen later on. Shoes gonna hit a homework. Put another billion on that. - Life. - Yeah, life. - That's what I did last night. - Yeah, okay. - And it worked. - Like, you're just trying to help a guy out? - I'm just trying to get this guy out of the lakeers. I want Bob Eiger and the other dude on it. It'd be awesome. - Well, then now there's people saying, "Well, do they?" So, I mean, this is interesting. Publicory, which I don't know how this all works out. I assume he's got. - Well, he covers the Tar Heels and the Clippers. So I don't know if he's gonna dip into this. - He's got his feeling. - Oh, and oh. - Is Longbow back yet? - I don't think so. They did. - He was on Love You, Longbow. - He's not going for a shirt run as he's still on lead. - Yeah, he's not allowed to be around. Why did they do the investigate? Who knows how long the investigation will take place? There was a lot of people saying, "This is about blah, blah, blah," and then they had to come out and say, "No, actually, not that, please." Have a little butt, certainly something. - Too late for that. - Yeah, it's gone. So, Longbow's pissed off a lot of people. And I'm finding out, I guess I have as well. So, in these moments, people can really, really go after it. And they certainly did that to Longbow. They named their starting quarterback, though. - They did. - Somebody Longbow signed in the transfer portal. - That's right, so. - Let's go on to the quarterback, starting out there for University of North Carolina. Will this be the year that Bill Belichick in the Tar Heels are the 33rd NFL team tournament? - I think they have to, otherwise, I think it might be clean slate situation in Chapel Hill. I think they might be firing Bill. I think they might be kind of getting rid of that whole staff. And I'll be honest, I'd love to see it, 'cause I know Longbow busted his ass, putting that team together, too, even though he's not gonna be able to be around to watch him play, even I don't know. They might not even let him watch on TV. I don't know. - Yeah, they might have, they might have a band. - They might have someone standing outside his house be like, "Change the fucking channel." You cannot watch this game. - That's what it felt like. - It does kind of feel like that. But I just don't see it. I don't see it. I think it's pretty tough to completely change a team, who's kind of been an also ran in college football and turn them into the 33rd NFL team in two years' time. But we're gonna find out, we're gonna find out, and they're in Ireland to start. - Yeah, well, that's what I was about to say. Bruce brought up, look at how red this guy is. Going to Ireland to start this entire thing. Good play, lad. Go on, lad, what's the crack? Maybe a career saver over there. So much sopranos being watched. - Oh, yeah. - The piano. - So much sopranos. - It's fun to some nuggets. He'll figure it out. I think Lava will come out, I'm scared. - Yeah, I agree. - All right. - It's been around long time. - What does that mean exactly? - No clue. - It feels like he used games already. - True. - And obviously we have no information on anything that's happening out there, other than what everybody else has seen. And I guess we can just kind of go off what everybody else has tweeted. They're mad. - Yeah, they are. - They're mad, they get 'em out of here, man. And Bill Belichick's like, hey, look who we got coming down to practice to hang out. Who was it? He had some-- - Aaron Boone. - Yeah, Boone was Aaron's day off. - Yeah, that's the Bill Belichick difference. Getting these leaders at the top of their craft, getting a chance to come talk to the lads, going to build up, not just the player, but also the person. That's what Boone's doing. Boone was actually probably dying to get a little advice. Maybe from Bill, saying, hey, how do I go about finishing this season, all right? You're considered greatest coach of all time. And then return, Bill said, but what about you? We liked that he's young guys a little bit better. You know, I kind of, this was mutually beneficial, Ty, 'cause the way you looked at me there was as if Boone's got nothing to learn from Bill Belichick. - No, no, no. We got it. - That was what you looked at me like. - We did this song in dance last year, and I got real hot last year, 'cause the Yankees weren't playing great, and then lo and behold, I see Boone down there fucking, y'all getting it up. And it said, yeah, what the fuck are you doing? We got an off day. Can't we be talking with Judgey? Or maybe talking with a couple of the relievers to kind of figure this out so we don't go, you know, limp it into the playoffs. Believe his son is on the football team. And the Yankees won yesterday, after Boone's day off. So, you know what, I'm okay with it. - Hey, the Yankees got what, a 19 year old? Is that a 21? - 21 year old George Lombard, Lombard? - Yeah, George Lombard, Jr. - This guy's outrageous. - Yeah, ridiculous. - Stole one the other day. We obviously saw him do that. They're talking about the amount of runs and stuff. - Defensive runs allowed. - Other people have taken 100 games, 50 some games get to. He's got nine games under his belt. - He's already top 10. - Fourth in the league, yeah. And he makes a play like this literally every single night where it's just like Jesus Christ. Like it's unbelievable. - That's a 96. - Yeah, well, that's gonna be changed at the end of the season. So if you are Yankees fan, do not buy a George Lombard, Jr. 96. - Oh, maybe. - Oh, great trade call. - No, retro. - He's gonna get a good one next year. Fuck that 96, that thing's ugly as shit. Do not need to see that on him. But yeah, Carlos Rodeon, that was his first game back. That's the first time he's had him at shortstop. And after this play looked at him, he's like, "Earabad, motherfucker, dude." I mean, he is that, play that deep in the hole. No bounce. He's got such a strong arm. He's intuition. He's just a great athlete. And then he's also, he had two hits last night, too. So like, yeah, for him to come up, I mean, Yankees didn't do a whole lot of the trade deadline, which a lot of people were pissed off about. But they finally brought this kid up who people have been begging them to do for a long time. And boy, he has been unbelievable since day one. Yeah, it seems like he's built for the moment, too. It looked like the Yankees of the past, potentially, and I, uh, with G-t running around in that infield. Obviously, that's a lot of pressure. It feels like he was born for it, congrats to him. Brewers, one by three touchdowns last night. - Yeah, that's right. - I don't know if you guys saw that and actually gave some away later, 'cause they were trying to celebrate the ending being done when it wasn't over yet. Can you tell me about one of these games? I like whenever, uh, positional players start pitching and then hit start happening, and then I'll say, "Hey!" (laughs) Two outs. Whoa. - What? - What do you mean? - Shit, we were gonna come back away. - Oh man. - That's crazy. - All right. - All right. Yeah, we'll do it again. I guess what does that mean, though? Yeah, well, you give them a couple runs, yeah. That's what you do. It was an overthrow, you know, the entire thing. You kind of just embarrassed us even more or gone 19. So thank you so much for that. When you're in this moment, you're just trying to get through nine ends. The issue with baseball is you have to throw strikes. - Yeah. - Like, you have to. - Otherwise, the game will just keep going, yeah. - For average. - Kids just need it out. - No, you can't, yeah. - They set a record for pitchers under 40 miles an hour. Last night, I think it was 20-something or something. - Congratulations to them. - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause you got them is there. - Exactly. - So you got the most under 40 miles an hour in the most over 105 miles an hour from a starting pitcher. That's good range the brewers kind of have in their clubhouse, I guess. How do they pick who's doing this pitching at the end? Just somebody signs up for it and says, "You know what, I think I can get maybe a couple into the strike zone for these people." - Yeah, I honestly don't know. Usually it's just a position player, just like a guy like, "Hey, fucking, can you maybe just, can you throw it over the plate for us?" Because obviously when you're a hitter and you see these beach balls coming in at 40 miles an hour, like your eyes get really big. And it's actually much harder to hit a homer off one of those that you, yeah, than you would expect. Some guy for the brewers did hit his first career homer last night off a 40 mile an hour blooper. Hit the fucking shit out of it. Which you kind of never see, it was awesome. But most of the time in these situations, like the game actually, it does get expedited. Cause guys are just blooping them in there. And then, you know, guys are trying to hit it 800 feet and up, you know, rolling over on one and grounded out to the third basement. And it just, 'cause at that point, even the brewers are like, all right, fuck this, we're beating the shit out of these guys. We got to play again tomorrow. Let's get the hell out of here. - That's what their manager said, Murphy. He talked about how like the centerfiller didn't know how many hours there were, but he was like playing catch with like some guy in the doghouse, like, dicking around and he was like, "I actually don't know how many there are here." Like, yeah, no clue. Like, nobody was paying attention to the fucking game by that. - You know what, I was paying attention to, I don't know where? Triple A, Portland, Tony Tony's boy. - Yeah. - See ya. - Roman Anthony is back. - Con, man. I know the Boston Red Sox obviously go on that historic run without him. And he's obviously on assignment, getting back healthy. And he wasn't playing his best ball early in the season. But, well, we saw World Baseball Classic and what the projections are in this guy. And what he just did in Portland, is he back on the Red Sox sooner than later and what does that mean for you guys? - Yeah, it's actually what we were talking about before the show 'cause I don't know Baseball like Ty does, but I was like, "Hey, look, we went on that run. "Do we really want to tinker with the lineup at all?" But if he comes back and he's just D-H and he's not playing in the field and he's doing stuff like this and hitting bombs, like the Red Sox do have a real chance to go on a run when the entire thing. They're a catcher that they got at the deadline. - Double A, double A, sorry. - Double A, excuse me. The catcher they got at the deadline, Adley Rushman. He's kind of come on now. He had a home run last night as well. He was one of the bigger, signings, bigger moves of the deadline. So if Roman comes back, does this, our pitching, which has been very good, continues to go. We might be looking at a Red Sox Yankees playoff series whoever wins that and makes a run at the entire thing. - Could be sweet. Baseball is bringing it. I would love to see Tony Tony's board back in a big show. - Yeah, just strictly so we can say that. - Play him well. - You know, that's kind of what it's about. And also we got to meet the lad. He's having a good time. He's what you need in a baseball player. I think professional, obviously, with how much they travel and everything. It feels like he's going to take care of himself. Congrats on being in double A over there in poor, they're not triple A. Rory McAroy had a hilarious quote here. Rory was asked whether or not he thinks live golf players could bring value back to the PGA. And he said, I'd argue, have they brought value to live golf? (laughs) - Wow. - It's a good line. - It's fair. - It's a good line. Are you going to the final event? - What an inner. - Yeah, that's whole.
- That's a ball. - Yeah, D-button. - That's a plan. - That's a absolute ball. - It is a ball. - So good. - And for once back, I gotta go to that race. - Oh, it's a tough life being D-button. Thomas Wreck got cancered. I heard if Thomas Wreck did not get cancer this weekend at the live tournament, you would have went to that, which I do appreciate you acknowledging. - Oh, yeah, that was, yeah. - Yeah, that cancellation of the concert was obviously a big deal. This is Liv's last weekend. - Can't pay him or what? - Yep. - Honestly, I don't know if they just said, "We don't deserve Thomas Wreck's performance." You know, just absolutely. - Yeah, that makes sense. - They probably told it and they probably paid him and said, "Don't come, man. We don't want you to be a part of this. Your career is only going up and to the right, which is the exact opposite of what our league is currently doing." Rambo-bombo, I guess, there's been some rumblings that he's coming back to the PGA. He's gonna have the Brooks-Kepka treatment where you gotta go play into low-level ones and maybe earn your way back up. Obviously, your first five million, I think, there's the charity that you win back on tour. There's some sort of, you know, path, there has been a proven path. Will more live golf players take it? I guess that is for literally the PGA and Bryan Rollup to decide going forward. Rambo-bombo potentially being back in the PGA, though, I like that. - Huge, great. - I like that a lot. I think that'll help not only golf, but him. - 25 million? - 25 million dollars. - I'm being a ballad. - $8,600, so. - I can't do that. - Still, I can't. - That's fair price. - To be honest, I don't know what's real, what's not. I know nuclear golf has done what reporting on a lot of things, so I think we can do that. And this T-Times pub is the only place I've seen this pub. - I was gonna say it everywhere. - Yeah, I read that. - So I'm not sure. - I read that all this stuff is coming from Ram's team 'cause they want him back. And that like no decisions have been made by the PGA, 'cause like you said, now, like Rollup kind of has, he's got all the cards here. - We were through this entire thing, the entirety of it. And I was very supportive of athletes getting a shit ton of money to play sports. Now, there was obviously a lot of grandstanding on where the money was coming from. And I thought we should just point out that, whenever that particular type of money goes into any business that's publicly traded or maybe any other business, it's celebrated as another round of investment, but whenever athletes get a chance to benefit from it, everybody seemingly wants to attack it. I thought that was a little hypocritical. Now, we have not accepted any money in that particular fashion, but I'm just saying I didn't like how the athletes were being attacked, where businesses for the most, almost all of them are getting and celebrating to do it, but athletes can't do it. So that was my entire stance. I didn't love that it was splitting up golf, but I did enjoy that guys were getting like generational changing money to play sports, you know? But I also knew that the way the PGA reacted, and the way the live golfers were acting on their way out, like that was, it did feel like, "Hey, this is a decision where you're making." Hey, you are deciding. - After them, after them, like for life, it felt like they really, now they, I didn't, I guess I didn't understand or realize how pissed off the PGA people and players would be, and how tough it would be to get back. It's been like, yeah, I don't know. The $25 million fine, if that's correct, that's crazy. - We don't know if that's correct. Obviously, these are all just rumblings, and if it's Rambos team, that's them potentially saying, "Hey, this is the amount that he'd be willing to, whatever these numbers are." But I just think going back to that time, and I guess this is just like with Aaron Rodgers. Like when Aaron came on at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, I knew, obviously, he had a victory lap to take. Okay, I knew he was gonna take a victory lap. I didn't know he was gonna be that, you know, like, but it made sense after he, like, think about how much they said and how he went through. He was holding that for a long time. It felt like it was a therapy session to kind of get it out. It's like the PGA guys were very pissed at the live people. Like you're not only ruining the sport, you're ruining the league, you're ruining the future, you're taking a bio, you're a bad, but like, so I think like the victory lap angle, like hey, lives dead, like you guys continue you carried the PGA through a little bit of competition with another league that was trying their best to kind of break you guys apart and everything like that. They could do that, but I think there's a lot of deep wounds still from that. Yeah, I think there's a lot of deep wounds still. And that's what I'm saying. Like Brooks getting back in, I thought was a huge deal. I was like, gah, Lee, but Brooks kept his Nike heel. Yeah, yeah. Brooks like from the beginning, I think, wasn't like, you know, considered the exact same. So if any of these guys get back in, I think that is a huge deal in the PGA tours eyes 'cause they were very fucking pissed. And I get that, but also at the same time, like the whole live thing, like it changed the whole dynamic of the PGA tour and it changed the elevated events to change the money because if you talk to a lot of golfers, obviously not the guys at the top, Scotty, Rory, Fleetwood, those guys, those guys would be good anywhere. But you talk about the middle of the pack and the bottom of the pack and, you know, the business model around PGA and how it was and how they had to live, you know, on a week-to-week basis. We talk about their schedule year-round. So no guarantee money, you got a basic, you know. So yeah, you could be pissed, but looking back, it changed everything for everyone. Health PGA. Yeah, and then ultimately, if you are an athlete, if you're a competitor, if you're at the top of any sport, you wanna play against the best, you know, as often as possible. So I'm sure, you know, those guys have their personal gripes. But, you know, obviously not all the guys from live, but probably a handful of those guys, I think would make the PGA tour better. I think you also got to remember what a billion dollars was offered to a couple of these golfers, and they turned that down. Now, those who took 605 million to go do this and golf louder, now they're coming back to, you got guys to turn down. And yes, a lot has gotten better at the PGA tour. Guys turned down a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money to not go to live. I guess I see it. How I think about it, I guess I kind of see this players like thinking that I could have cash out of time and then came back and all, yeah, I guess I see a little bit. That's what I'm saying. Like, I think there's a deep one. Especially Rory, 'cause he would have gotten a billion dollars, and then after he didn't go, they basically shoved the microphone in front of his face and they're like, hey, you kind of need to speak for everyone now and talk about how much live sucks. And like, I think he was very reluctant to do that at the start, but then eventually was like, actually, yeah, fuck these guys. Like, I'm gonna say whatever I want, you know, I'm gonna, but like, I don't think he wanted to be like the poster boy for it at the beginning and then it kind of just happened. So like, it makes sense why he's like, fuck these guys. They don't bring any value. No one missed them when they were away. Like, I can see why he's, you know, he doesn't want anything to do with it. - He's not the only one. Now, the good news is, I think for golf fans, 'cause once again, I would like to see Rambo and I would like to see, you know, Dustin Johnson maybe get back in. - Bryson. - If he wants to see him, bro. - He and Polter. - Baba, you know, he and Polter. I would like to see Cam. I would like to see all these guys. If we're just gonna start listing off the entire live roster, I would like to see all these guys back in the PGA, but I think there is gonna be, man, maybe it adds a little excitement, I guess, to it, but Brolapp wasn't there. Brolapp's a post all this higher. So, Brolapp, I think, can have a good view on like, hey, I understand what you're saying. Hey, I understand what you're saying. Without being fully personally entrenched in the, hey, these people were actually attacking us directly. And he's obviously shown to be a great businessman. Obviously a good deal maker. I think what he did with, kept 'cause we all liked, right? - Yeah. - I think we all liked what he did, bro. - Yeah, well, and that's like the question at the end of the day is what's the best thing to do for the PGA tour? Is to have all the best guys and the top guys and Ram's a massive name. Like, is it the best for the PGA tour to do that? Versus like everybody's feelings, you know, what's the best for all the feelings of the golfers who stayed? Like, that's kind of the question, roll-up, roll-up has to deal with. And like, I feel like we all know what the answer to that is. And that's why it's just inevitable that like, the main guys are gonna come back. It'll help it even more. The things that they did by leaving, helps the PGA tour, absolutely. But them coming back will also help. And if they have to pay a fine, they gotta pay a fine. - The dukes may open. Okay, in the middle of the PGA season, that nobody's going to. That's going to be PGA golf with a lot of live people. Like the bad weekends are going to have potentially lear boards where we're going to see familiar names. 'Cause it does feel like it's like, "Yeah, but you're going to have to earn your way into the bigger events by, you know, playing well." 'Cause we don't have any international points for you 'cause they never, they never go. - Yeah, oh. - They never go. - What were the teams? Can you, can anyone, I never can understand what's the team, they're kind of, but an AC equity, equity to a team and the team's going to be worth all this money, I still never really understood. - Hundreds of millions of dollars. - Yeah, every time I was told that, D-Shambo came on and told us how smart it was. Bubba came on, told us how smart it was. I just, I understand the concept of people getting behind teams. But that takes a long time, the WMBA is in there, what, 30th year? - 30th. - Yeah. - Just became profitable, right, with a brand new deal that, who negotiated. - Yeah, Angle Stone. - Angle Burt. - Thank you, Angle Stone. (laughing) - Yeah. - I don't know who that is, okay, but I know. - Kathy Angle Stone. - She saved the league. - Commissioner of the W? - I just felt like building that brand name to become something of value in a brand new style of golf while also trying to launch a brand new league. I felt like that was a little bit shooting for the moon. - Yeah, no, thanks a lot. - That's what I'm saying, though. Like, you're building team brands while also trying to build a brand new style of golf and a league. I've been playing golf for about 350 years. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel here. It works. They kind of figured out, you know, which is kind of what we talked about with the broadcast as well. So, you know-- - Goat's almost did it. I feel like-- - That's true. You know what, the go-goats did not almost do it. They-- - The go-goats were almost like relegated down to a low end. - They were bad. - They were bad. - They changed rules for the go-goats to-- - Good colors. - Yeah. When that guy showed up with those shoes, do you remember? a couple of weeks ago, the new guy in charge of live who said, "Oh, we need 250 million
- I'll be able to find out he had those shoes on. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, they're there. - Well, apparently they have an investor. They just won't name 'em, or they go-- - Mark Walters. - They go to a different pool. (laughing) - It's pricey's not involved. - He's gonna have to head on a couple home run heads. - Yeah. - He's gonna have to get him in that pool. - He took the golds at 12,000 and someone's gotta go. Think how sad has been emotional day, the last tournament in Indy? - Last one ever. - All right, Mitt, we'll make sure Mitt goes and gets boots on top of that. - Man talk, talk, I'll take it in. - Nick went last year, right? - Yeah, well he went to war. - He played. - Great time. - Be honest, Nick. Great fucking time, right? - Good time. It was a good time. (laughing) - You have a good time at golf outings when you raise a money, which is kind of what live works. - It was so sparsely attended, you could sit right on the edge of the green, and it was cool. No, I got to see the guys, I got to see Rambo-Bambo, I got to see D-Shimbo from 10 feet away and making putts on the 18th green. - Got to watch Phil kind of break through the sun, shining this way, to waters this way, the grass is growing this way, so I'm gonna go ahead and do this, maybe pop a couple of lines, jokes, so you got to really experience it all there. - Christ you're going fucking nuts. - On the par three, it felt like a golf outing, right? - It felt like a golf outing, right? It just felt like a regular, it felt like Anthony Calhoun's golf outing, right? Did that know what it felt like? - Right outing. - All these, no, 'cause they're pretty loud. Those things, everybody's got a speaker on their cart. There's something up front, somebody's playing. It was a golf outing, live was a golf outing. That's what it was, and it raised no money. - I can't believe you ever supported this. - Not day you. - Braze money. - He never watched it on TV, I'm convinced. It was the worst TV product of all time. Golf has been on TV for so long, they haven't figured out, it's perfect, it's very fun to watch. That product on TV was so bad, and I think that was the root of the problems. No one could watch it, and no one could fall in love with the golfers again, and the competition of golf and all that stuff. It was horrible. - Brandon Reef is reporting, this has been severely challenging over the past few months, I have high confidence, the league will continue on. The facts and pattern of performance have been really good. We have work to do and accomplish in hurdles to overcome, but I wouldn't bet against us. It says Scott O'Neill. - Hell yeah, Scott. - Scott, I appreciate the hell out of you, Scott, for this, and taking this task on and everything like that. I'm bet against you. - Didn't you hear, is he the guy that said, hey, you know, if you're making a ton of money and you need a bunch of write-offs here, if you invest in us, we can show a loss for you. I think that's the guy that said that. That was his investment, like, that was his pitch. - Once again. - I did see that as well. - Nope, no stone unturned, this guy. - Hey, I guess you're right, you heard it, yeah. - Hey, whoever, if you got it, we got something for you. Just however you need it, you need it right off, you want a loss, I got that for, in the bonus. - 150 million a year, you can write off, here you go. - You want 20 years into golf and being, we'll have you, front row seats, 18th hole, everything like, we got you, whatever you need, however you need it. If you're trying to move money really quickly, we got you, however we can get to what we need, we will accept, says Scott O'Neill, and I respect that. I respect the hustle out of Scott, the live CEO, but I like that he said he wouldn't bet against them. And everybody says over, right, everybody says over. - Yeah, everybody, yeah. - It's already over, man. - Yeah, it's, it's. - Well, they're international footprinting swing. (laughing) - You got it all over, okay, you guys. - Didn't they just say they got the last tournament ever, is it any of them? - Yes. - This year, A.J. - They think they can't do it forever. What is Thomas Redcance? - So what did he do? - They paid the course from everybody back in two weeks. - You got to pay Rahm, all right, we can't. Tom's writ, sorry. - Nah, I got to pay him. - Next year. - It wasn't there, next year. - Wasn't there a store where the players didn't get paid after the store? - A store. - Mumbo jumbo. - Malarkey. - What was the city that felt like they got bankrupt by this? What was it, it was all of them. - They were supposed to go to Michigan. I know they canceled that. - Oh, good well. - Oh, sees love. - Michigan told him quickly. - Yeah. - You're not just taking up all our T-Times, okay, for something nobody's gonna want. We got members here that have weekend T-Times. That's what live is at right now. That's where Scott O'Neill's at. He's telling me not to bet against them. Detroit Golf Course is picking their members T-Times over their tournament right now. That's crazy. - Yeah, I like that move actually. - Yeah, was that your golf course that you grew up on? - No, I wish it was, but probably pretty close to it. - Listen. - You die happy man, okay? - Oh yeah. - Maybe they canceled, what, that's the Thomas Red Banger. - Oh yeah, yeah. - Surprise you got that, what's it done? - Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, don't give me more everybody knows. - Oh, fucking Banger right here, deep, deep, deep. ♪ Baby, last night ♪ ♪ It was a dream ♪ ♪ I'm maybe the best night ♪ ♪ And I'm happy ♪ - Yeah, he's got bangers, man. - Baby, my, my, my, my mom's house. - My mom? - Yeah. - You said, my mom's house. - My mom's house, yeah, my mom's house, the teacher. - Started off for a talk. - Okay, yeah, let me hear it. - I don't wanna disrespect the great boy. - No, I don't. - Pipes, Thomas Red. - No, maybe it goes like this, give me some of that. - Is that what it is? - No, I wouldn't hear about my mom's house. (laughing) - I thought you were about to drop it at like a one, two, three. - I'll give you some of this. - My mom's house. - My mom's house, here it is. Okay, little Morgan, Wolland, Thomas Red. Oh, it's my got TR. - Okay. - Is this what he, in the back of the-- - Yep. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Cooking bacon, that, my mom's house. (laughing) - Nah, I'm playing that. Live golf, this weekend in Indianapolis. - Not a sign of bad. - No. - No, no, no, no. 'Cause die a happy man, they just can't let him play it. - No. - Especially at what's happening there. - I believe they also had to cut the prize money down one day at the foot, they initially said they were gonna pay everybody. - They win, it's gonna get 35 grand now. Okay, I know we were saying 20 mil. You can get fucking 3500 bucks. All right, and you're gonna be happy. - 3500, 3500, 3500, 3500. (laughing) - The first class taking home. - I hear word flies, sweet jigs. - No, they're having it. - Got canceled. - What's that? - Thomas Rett was supposed to play the live event and they can't. - Where the fuck are you, man? - They can't afford it. - I know. - I know what we're talking about if I'm saying there's no thing, and they said we can't pay you, so you can't go out there. - We don't know, we don't know. - There's a chance that they didn't want to play die a happy man, 'cause nobody there's gonna be happy. 'Cause it's the last time, we genuinely don't know. - It is gonna be emotional, yeah. That would just be, I would take it over the top, make it even more sad. - We have his also canceled a schedule with Thomas Rett and Disco Alliance. - Disco Alliance is out too? Unavoidable changes in the goddamn entertainment program. What do you want us to say? - They got a speaker coming in. They got a speaker coming in. That's just, I'll tell you what, Thomas can't have it. So, we had space, we thought, actually we don't. Now, this isn't a time for these country musicians to be touring or anything like that, right? - No, no, no. - No, no, no, no. - Summer's almost over. - Summer right into fall. Thomas Rett's scheduled a whole weekend with a live event. What did they do? Can't hold on to him. - He's. - I don't like that, and there's no way he's getting paid for the day they get it. Or live just said, fuck it, Thomas Rett's gonna be there and never even talked to him. - That's good. - They were just promoting it the whole time. - We're getting Thomas Rett, we're getting Thomas Rett and then we go. - Thomas Rett's people go, "Excuse me, we're getting a lot "of emails about, what is this?" And you think they're like, "Ah, fuck." - Ah, fuck. - They should have done a makeable situation this weekend. - Yeah, I mean, it's makeable. - Could you imagine given Thomas Rett if he was at the tournament? Now, Thomas Rett definitely would not be going to a live golf tournament in Indianapolis ever in his entire life. But let's just say there was a lean that he was potentially gonna be there. The live people just holding a guitar, trying to plan the right time to shove it in his face with a camera would have been a good little thing to see Scott O'Neill kind of figure out. Hey, die happy man, right? Boom, microphone, bang, put the camera on him. Thomas Rett, everybody. And then Thomas Rett found out. It was like, "Hey, actually, I don't think that's the right way to go about it. Fuck it, cancel it publicly." And disco lines, we need to get them to fuck out here. They were saying some lines about Penn State earlier. - Yeah. - Oh boy. - That's a crazy story. - The merch. - Entrepreneurs, great name. - It's coming out of there. - They're removing, man. Sounds like they're really moving there. Yeah, Pablo Pledgecobor. - That's crazy. - Do you think they're like in their headshots? They're like, that's just natural. Because they look like, "Hey, there's no way I'm, there's no way we're moving a bunch of products with the way we look." Like how they look like buttoned up like preppy college school kids. - I think people. - It was the fat photo. - Yeah, that was the point. - I think people would say that's what they're saying. - Do you do it on purpose though to throw them off? Like yeah, no one's expect this. - I don't know. The dad, the lawyer, dad that's also involved in it from Pittsburgh, Fasting. He also had the, everybody had the same idea. - He had a good plan to be honest. - I would dress him for this. - Great plan. - Yeah, I mean, you get caught, not good plan, but I understand what you're saying. - But you killed that, yeah. - Somebody gives his years later. Now three or three years later allegedly that it from when it all took place. So who spoke first? It was a pledge, probably that was coming up. - Definitely, definitely. People snatched it all. - Smoked to somebody about it. You should see what I was doing at college. You had me fucking in the back kitchen, literally cutting them bagging this entire thing. And then somebody was just like, "What did you just fucking do?" - Where, where was that at? And then all of a sudden, wrong, not wrong. Right person here is about it, obviously. - Let's go bar. - What's, you think pledge kabar was talking? - No, I'm saying that's how they kind of read it. And that's how they got to. - You're not talking, I'm like that. - The son of the lawyer got pinched and then said, "Poplo pledge kabar." - Save me the way. - Yeah, he's a supplier. - We don't want you, we want big fish. - Yeah, he was bringing in from somewhere else they said. - Colombia? - New York and Filly. - By way of, yeah, by way. - Allegedly.
They're bringing in from New York and Philly. So they won't. He, Pablo Pledgecobar will immediately. This is who, this is exactly where I was driving. We would assume, right? How much jail time do you think? - For Pledgecobar? - No, for this crew. - Cool. - Combine, zero. - What? - I don't think I get home. - If they go to high enough, they might get a nice life in Whipro. - Sounds like Pledgecobar is gonna spit in the lawyer's face and say fucking, each shit, give me 20. I ain't telling, I ain't, I ain't writing on fucking anybody. - Yeah. - That's what it sounds like, Pledgecobar. Based on what I read, that's the kind of guy they're dealing with. - He was the last one, right? To turn himself in. He missed his time to turn in. - Yeah. - There was potentially a fugitive, dog to Bonnie Hunter, but maybe he was gonna go. - Yep, that's no paterno, baby. - Fuck you, take me to prison, bitch. That's what I'm expecting. - Yeah, it's like a 10 year in prison thing. Minimal for what, one of them. - They'll probably do a fiber. We'll see. - What do you say? - Went in for a dime, serve a nickel. Kid got pinched with a kilo, so I imagine they moved more than five. - Snotpa. - Them having the white outs who just, and then the coach landing. - Yeah. - Yeah, that was making the point. - Bit of a ricochet. - That was quite a ricochet. - Yeah, that was your own fire for that. - That's a college drug, though. - What do you mean, now? - I wouldn't, I mean, back in my day, that wasn't really a college. - You sure? - So I went to school like an hour away from it. (laughing) - It was the other stuff. - So, you know, I had these stuff like that, but. - So Penn State, obviously this is what you think about with like, you know, money, money kids, money kids who can buy the drugs, like the high school is where you're always intrigued by what other schools, like the kids who had money, what they were doing, like at their parties, like I played soccer in a very wealthy part of town. Go to a party over there, and it's like, oh my god, you guys. - Different lights, dude. - He's Christ, what are you at? - You guys are not just pounding natty lights there. - I need a pitcher. - I need a pitcher. I'm putting fuckin' natural lightness and the red bull. Okay, that's what I'm doing. You guys seemingly got a little different party. So, I think that is the, I think that is kind of the separator. I'm like, who can get, it's all just, who can get access to what it seems like. In Penn State, a lot of those kids, I think, have the money to be able to buy of. - Yeah, I wouldn't, I mean, I went to Connecticut, like the kids, a lot of kids I went to school had money. Just, maybe I just wasn't aware of it, but I didn't really see people doing that until I got an illegal, went to other parties. - Open your eyes, man. - And we like to, we like to remind them. - Some of Jews, it was, you know, I wrote some of the swishers, you know. And like, you know, kids, don't do drugs. - No, they don't do drugs. - Nowadays, you can't. - No, you can't. - Hey, listen, nowadays, you actually cannot do it. Okay? Back in our generation, I guess we couldn't either, 'cause I've lost a lot of friends. There's like an entire generation that has like one in every six people basically, that part of that, just kind of got wiped out from pills and everything like that. But the drugs now, you just can't even think about it, can't even think about it. - China's rolling in the big F. - Yes, they are. - Yeah, very worried about that. - That literally is happening. - Very worried about it. I think that is something that we should rally around telling people, okay, you guys can't even double, okay? Can't wait, tell me, can you do that? Hey, you might think you're having a good time. You're so cool, fucking, you can't do it. Okay, 'cause it should blend you immediately. Back in our day, hey, me and your mom, okay, we had friends, that you, it was socially acceptable in some way. Now, death sentence, can't do it, sorry. The generation before you ruined it. And it wasn't them, it was something else. And it's like, God's crazy what the world has become. It's all right, Godspeed everybody. Stay away from drugs. - Yeah, do drugs. - No, do drugs. - Do drugs. - That's scary stuff. - Why are you so? - Moving coke like that in college though. He had to be a fucking king. He had to feel like an absolute king. - Yeah. - I couldn't even fathom how cool he felt. I got pledges in the bat chopping it up, dying to worry about it. Like the amount of tours he probably gave. - You don't really trust the people. Really trust the pledges. - Lot of people, yeah. - I mean, I guess the brothers, man. - Brotherhood, brotherhood, yeah. - So you can trust anybody. - No way Pablo Pledge Cabaret says, you should've seen what they made me do. - Yeah. - And then all of a sudden it's an entire, that is a part of the pledge process actually. - Pledge Cabaret's going down and he's gonna fucking love it. - Ha, ha, ha, okay. - Okay. - All right. Caitlin Clark, she continues to dominate. Do you know that she is the most player of the week titles out of anybody in the WNBA? - Oh, yeah. - That's a great one. - Lucy Mitchell has tied Aja Wilson for the most consecutive 20 point games in WNBA history. She's on the eve of breaking that particular record. Sophie Cunningham still selling out buildings, getting her ass booed up in Canada. She knows what's coming, when it's coming. And Alia Boston still picking up double, double machine. The Indiana fever are gonna win the WNBA and we're gonna do the break. - Okay. Fuck yeah. What do you mean? - What I'm talking about. - Like what do you mean we're gonna, watch it on TV or? - We're gonna clap big time for it. - Yeah. - Just like 2012. - Oh, we're gonna have a float. - Yeah, just like the-- - I don't think we're gonna float in that one, brother. - Right, not. - I don't think that one's taking place. But we will be incredibly pumped for a team in Indianapolis to win it all. Back, that'll be great news. That's why I wish the fishers freight would get it fucked together. - Oh, they're not the fayers to win it. - Who? - Favour. - Yeah, number one C in the Eastern Conference. - Oh, they're fourth in the odds to win the whole thing. - Las Vegas is a staple in that league. - She's got to be by like 30 last night. - Well, that's what happened. - Oh, she got to be by 40. - Favour. - The lengths. - Yeah, the lengths and the aces and the valkyries, obviously, and in the favor. - Yeah, but we all know what push comes to show. - So what? Kelsey Mitchell is gonna make everything. 20 points for 20 straight games. - Pretty good. - That's a believer. She's an absolute bucket. We're in the Halleys, which obviously we appreciate doing it in the Puma's. And then Sophie Cunningham Avergine, I think she's shooting like 46% from three or something like that, I think she's doing it. So not just somebody that's fighting people and starting a lot of wild conversations happening. And I'm excited to see how that all, you know? - Kind of plays out. - I think it is gonna play out over the next couple of months. I think we're gonna get a definitive answer on everybody from society, which I think we all have just been kind of like, what are we doing here in the next couple of months, AJ. It feels like that one's gonna happen, right? - Yeah, it feels like that's gonna come to a point, but I don't know if you saw to show it up to, in the stands, saying they want to also enter the draft. - Oh, they did not say it, see that. - Yeah, it happened last night. And then obviously you got Enis Freedom and Royce White and Enis Freedom has come out and said, I've talked to 20 other guys. They're ready to leave the G-League and the experiment, what they're thinking about. So this is all gonna, that's gonna be giganticly loud when it all happens. And the W is gonna have the fever as a champ's word. - True. - So that's what we like. Good for the fever, good for Caitlin Clark. She's getting buckets right now. - Oh yeah. - And all the things that have been said about her, you know, not being good enough for all this shit, it's like it seems like it's all kind of coming around for her. And the fever seemed like they're a tight group, even though everybody said they should hate the head coach 'cause she's not good. - Well, you said that. - I didn't say that, I didn't say that. It's start of the year. I said it like that. And after she hit everybody with the "Luck will always win!" - True for her. - I'm back in. - How did she end it, too? - If you don't like that, you can go to hell. - And I want us over. - Yeah, she want me over. - And the women have just-- - Yeah, exactly. - And they've bought in. - Have you got a chance to be a quarterback in the NFL? Con, man, I saw that you had a chance to experience it through Jalen Hertz's helmet, you know what I'm saying? We're seeing the GoPro on everybody's helmet. We saw it on the Cleveland Browns quarterbacks, Jalen Hertz had it. Obviously, you can break down his decision-making process where he's looking looked at a right-moving guy, looked at a left-moving guy. Let's start through a tight window. AJ, what did you see here from the quarterbacks forehead? - This was awesome. I mean, this just gives you a glimmer of how difficult it is to sit down and read a defense in the tight windows. You have to throw the ball. But yeah, this was so cool to see. I hope you get used like this from like during the games in the future here in the NFL when they can implant little deals in your face masterself. - Oh, like something right there on the forehead. - Yeah, people have on the floor. - A lot of big heavy GoPro though, yes. - Yeah, 'cause the glasses now have very high-quality cameras. Not that they didn't have them before. I think there was, you know, a couple of people famous on the internet for those. But I think now with the glasses, they have very high-quality cameras that are not like intrusive or obstructive. And if we're getting this type of shot and this type of angle, this type of access, I think people will love that for ball. What did you see, Connor? You said, yeah, right. I could never do this in my life. And Jalen Hertz takes a lot of heat. He did so much there. Looking to the right, he's never gonna throw that ball to the right. That is strictly just to move some people. Then looking back to the left, let's get them off balance again. And then bang, let's go ahead and hit this. It was fun to watch the chess play from Jalen Hertz's eyes. - Yeah, it was crazy to see it from this. And just keeping in mind that like, hey, the D-Lime in, they aren't going 100%. - I was there. - They're supposed to be trying this drill. - Yeah, like if both the details are also throwing their hands up in the air, like, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, I assume, are these two right now, I'm not sure exactly. But if they were really, really going, just that added element of pressure and just the anticipation of it all. Like where he throws the ball at the time he throws, that Dallas Carter isn't really there. But just how difficult quarterback is, it's hard to fathom. This gives you just a little bit of an insight. And then if you were to just add what, 60,000 fans screaming as you're doing all this too, it is so impressive. And I just can't wait to watch it full speed.
out to the Eagle Social and he just played that defense like a fiddle. Yeah, obviously offensive defense line brother and a little bit there down in the red zone. Obviously, hey, let's get to tomorrow, boys, and you see Jayley, oh, I'll do a big fake jumpy here to kind of get this thing, but on the defensive backside, what did you see here from Jayley? Yeah, you talked about, we've been talking about it a bunch because of Mad Max Crosby out there, but that halo just protecting the quarterback. They're not what do too much and keep bull rushing to do that. Sometimes you just get it left up, get it hand up, maybe, but yeah, everything comments said, and just watching this clip, this just reminds you like, okay, this is why these guys are getting paid 50 and 60 million dollars a year because they got to go out there and do this, you know, for 30 snaps of their passing the ball, but very, very impressive. And like you said, the biggest bounce back was from the admin over there in Philly, because you know, everybody gave him shit about posting a cue, Mitchell pick, and then you bounce back with this like, this is this is big, I don't know if it was him. We do not know if it was him or her, just make sure we get the proper in there. I think with NFL social media, I think more likely, her from our understanding in research, but I do appreciate the bounce back, because that was it all time fuck our quarterback that I've ever seen, you know, that I've ever seen in the internet thought the same thing. Now it's like, why don't you guys try and beat this guy for one time? I like them giving us that. Oh, yes. And that's the thing when you're posting a highlight from training camp, if it's your team, because somebody's going to be the low light, you know what I mean? So if you post a touchdown on Quayon or Cooper DeGene, it's like, damn, you're making our guy look shitty. Same with the quarterback. You make a play on the quarter. So it's part of it. That's why these teams also, especially social teams, love the joint practices. Patriots. Boom. Okay. Now I can post 15 touchdowns in the one on one. So, um, but yeah, great bounce back by the admin, not all the admins love joint practice. No. Good point. Yeah. We would like them to, because guess what that is football. What are you? A football team, the biggest in the world, yeah, everybody's trying to be a football team. You have a football team. You should do football. Thank you for the access to the Eagles. Yeah. For letting us see what Jaylen are. Need more of that. We do. That was spectacular. Sick. Cleveland Brown is doing that right now. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, we got news out of the New England Patriots camp. Vrable is in the middle of a fight. Good. He's obviously pointed apart. He's done this before. No helmet. No gloves. No pads. And he just puts his head in the middle of it and he starts pulling guys back. He has been on the record with us saying that there was only one member of the Titans that he thought could beat him up. And I don't know what the number is with the New England Patriots. But certainly in this particular fight, Vrable did assume going in that he could beat everybody up without the pads and that's why we love them. But on that note, this is inevitable. I think these fights are inevitable, AJ. We kind of end the show here the same way we started it in football, especially in training camp. Everybody's miserable. The people that aren't miserable, punters, I'm having a good time. Now, if I'm staying at home, I'm much happier. But if I'm up at a dorm, maybe I have a little bit to complain about, you know, to get up into a pee down the hall, I didn't like that. Everybody else miserable from my understanding. It's obviously very physical. It's very tasking. It's a lot to learn. pressure is a lot of anxiety to perform well. And anytime you're banging and clanging, sometimes you can get locked, rocked and caulked out there as Jim Harboh would say and get after it. So I think this kind of is a good depiction of how we kind of view all these fights, AJ. Yeah, it's interesting. It's a field goal period, too. We talked about special teams earlier and that kind of gets it going when the special teams get together. And I know the one joint practice, I joint practice when I was with the bangles for a year. We practice the New York football giants when Tom Coffin, I believe, maybe his last year. And I remember doing like a special teams drill there where we, you're like, kick slide, kick slide. And then, you know, the other, the giants guy is trying to grab and hold you and you're trying to release like, that definitely got to, we didn't have any big Donnie Brook brawl or anything. But that like every single rep was so competitive and so combative that like, it was on the brink. And that was before you go to team period and say, yeah, it just, you can feel it. You can always feel it about the boil over. Patriots, Eagles were the ones that are in joint practice by, you see big Don making his way over as well. You see him here in the back. Oh, yeah, yeah. Rable in the middle of that big Don making his way over there. Every way out. Yeah. They do live field goal against each other. That's a good way to start one for sure. Offensive guard with a detackle, you know, just given a little bit too much. The balls are to been kicked. Yeah, right, dude. This is not how this is going to go. Just I need is one throw into somebody else. Yeah. You know the kicker, especially you think about the de-limit on both of those teams, the interior you guys. Yeah. Me and cuz. Yeah. The beef. Oxes. Just oxes. In the offense alignment. You have to just sit there and die slowly. It's like, I died. You did a little bit too much. So we have a fight. Special team is paired always the nightmare in preseason. Joint praxis. I remember that Chuck bringing up Chicago Bears Joint Praxis and having no fights. Okay. I really appreciate that reminder and I appreciate how mature our team was. I remember the punt period just being scared to fucking death. All right. Here we go. How many puns do I got? 15 of them. Great. All right. Here we go. Is that guy more athletic than the guy that's never done a punt rep before? I think so. How do you make a team? You block a kid. That is the easiest way to do it. So I was scared to death through the entire thing. I thought it was good to get me ready for the season though. That's right. You know, good to get me to the season. Are they told to stay off either? Yeah. No. I haven't seen that gear. Not my punter. Who cares? And stay off the baller, stay off the kicker guy who's probably getting cut. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Sure. I got pushed into him. He goes right into the leg and he can say, "Hey, I got pushed into him." That was a nightmare. Since an addy fourth preseason game, I've told a story before it. It's unhard knocks. I made the team a cus of it. I get flipped. Comes right off the edge. Fourth preseason game. Guy that's never going to make the teams ever their block and wise the out there. Who knows? Boom. Full flip. One motion in hard knocks is I'm going through this guy. Guy makes the team. It's like, "Can't wait for the next preseason. This is going to be fucking great." Nobody cares except for the people trying to block the kick to make the team. And now hard knocks are saying, "If you block the kick and make the team great, can't wait to do it." Boom. Give me the fuck out of here. Get me the fuck out of here. Let's just get to the regular season. I like that thought, but Jim Harbaugh said, "We just got to keep going." I hate how bomb he was. He's very bomb. He's very bomb. He's so bomb. But it was refreshing, because we used to reverse that. Yep. Hey. Guy, you caught it off with the neck injury. You may not have never walked again. He got moved seven yards down, fellas. That was great. That was a wild thing that I saw from you football people. College. I go to West Virginia. It was really my first time going to football practices in Richard Rodriguez as the coach. In Rick Trickett, the offensive line coach. It was pretty intense practices, I would say, nice little introduction to football. I see this guy, certainly career ender right there, and then it's always, "Let's go, move the fucking cone." 15 yards up, and this guy's just down here. Yeah. Well, his season's over, so do you want your. They're going to drop the ambulance out, and the ambulance is 15 yards away from your inside run period that you continued after this guy just scoring out broken neck or something. That was wild. So, to see Coach Harbott like that, nice little side of the human that's got there. All right, get the hell out of here. We'll be back tomorrow. Thank you all so much for allowing us to do this for a living. Football season's going to be fun. Yeah, almost here. Awesome. Actually, we are going to have like a very fun football. Yeah. Yeah. Let's enjoy it. Hell yeah. There's a lot of people that would like us to, to disappear. Feels like reading a lot of those. Just know that we're going to be doing football in big way. There's actually some people that like us, too, to all the people that hate us, so you can continue to bitch from your side. But we'll just go ahead and represent our side. And then hopefully, ball will be able to bring us together whenever it's happening, like it does with everything else. And you're a lot. Come on into water, it's fun. Yeah. I mean, she's the least. You know what I mean? I don't know how. They're in talented group with their words. They're a talented bunch, I will say. But I am super excited. We are super excited. And we are incredibly lucky that we get to do it. Be a friend, tell a friend something nice of my change of life. Debut. Great work this week. Yeah, you two brother. Debuts. Same troubles. Thank you brother. You're lucky to live in a situation. And I'll be in a Dutch Grand Prix in Netherland, so I won't be able to do this. Nice. Okay. You're going to. Yes, I'll ask to you. You can't make it. That's a long trip. Sprint weekend. That's a good commitment to F1. Because I always thought your G1 commitment was fake. No, no, no. I'm locked in. You're flying to the Netherlands. I have a new champion this year. Yeah. It's not going to be Cadillac. They don't get any money. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice of my change of life. We're interesting together. Team on me. Team on three. For the good of sport, baby. - Good bye! - Good bye!

FAQs
Joint practices are training sessions where two NFL teams practice together, often before preseason games. They allow teams to face different opponents and formats, but can lead to fights due to high intensity and competition.
Fights happen because players are competing for roster spots and face unfamiliar opponents, leading to heightened emotions and physicality. They are seen as inevitable, especially when teams have strong camaraderie and players defend each other.
Christian McCaffrey has muscle tightness, not considered serious, and was held out of a joint practice as a precaution. He is expected to return for the season opener against the Rams, and his absence is not contract-related.
Terry Arnold is on the commissioner's exempt list due to legal issues, and the Seahawks planned to sign him but are navigating how long he'll remain on the list. The NFL will decide his status, and the team is in talks about his future.
Yes, there's been a shift from pessimism to optimism, and it now feels like Vita Vea will get a deal done and stay in Tampa. The tone has changed from wanting a trade to working toward an extension.
Baker Mayfield is content playing out the season after rejecting a two-year extension that would have made him a top-five paid quarterback. He wants a longer deal, likely four or five years, and will focus on performing well, possibly leading to a franchise tag later.
