PMS 2.0 1622 - Rams vs. 49ers Recap, NFL Week 1 Preview/Picks, Nick Saban, Bill Cowher, Dana White, Kirk Herbstreit, & AJ Hawk

Welcome to the Pat McAfee Show. I'm AJ Hawks, sitting in at Pat's desk. He's down in Austin, Texas for a huge match up this weekend. Game day, Ohio State, Texas. Football is what it is Pat. Where are you? Okay, that's a beautiful spot there in the concourse. It looks like down in Austin, Texas. How you doing, man? Hey, I'm great, AJ. Thank you so much for traveling out to Indianapolis, Indiana to hang out with the boys there in the Thunderdome on this magnificent, magnificent college football week two Friday in NFL week one Friday. On this September 11th obviously we have to chitchat about the heavyness of that particular date. Obviously as a 39 year old and all the lads that are back in the Thunderdome we all lived through September 11th 2001 and we all understood what happened to our lives and what happened to our country there on September 12th 2001. We saw a lot of patriots run towards the fire. We saw service members run towards craziness. We saw a lot of heroes amongst the chaos and for that we will always be thankful and grateful. We will always remember obviously what happened on September 11th. We will always be thankful for our heroes that serve our country and we will always on this particular day remind everybody that there is a cost to freedom and there are people that maybe don't have the same values that we have in this world and we need to continue to strive to find that you for a state for all of us to survive. Now football is a wonderful thing. Sports are a great thing that rallied our country on September 11th 2001 going forward. We all remember the baseball tributes. We all remember football coming through. We all remember sports being a unifier and that is why we absolutely love the jobs that we have in showcasing the greatest on earth which is sports. Now we all remember George W go ahead and humming one in there in New York and obviously it was a symbol of hey listen we are back we are not going to be deterred. We are not going to be deferred. We are a country that if you punch us we're going to punch you back. It was symbolic. It was fantastic and we move forward a better country because of that even though it was absolutely devastating. Now whenever we talk about football and talk about sports right now I'm very lucky to be right here next to the field. Gone here in Texas. Now obviously archbannings the quarterback Steve Sarkiesian is the head coach last year a little bit underwhelming this year they're going to be national champions. Who knows they got a Ohio State coming into town and from my understanding there was multiple planes last night that were packed out with a bunch of buckeyes. I don't know how many Ohio State folks are making it down here but I think these Ohio State buckeyes kind of see a different team this year than they saw last year and even though they had the greatest defense on earth and it's certainly stumped archmaning in his debut. Julian Sain has another year under his belt with a bunch of weapons and a defense that can still hunt in that man right there who catches every ball off his face off his back off his stomach and scores nothing but touchdowns. It is going to be electricity down here in Austin just like it's going to be up there in Ann Arbor his Oklahoma takes on Michigan and across the board of the college football slate. Now the topic of today that AJ is Los Angeles Rams are a bunch of fraud. Okay that is the conversation of today. Now I do believe that we were all kind of bamboozled. We were kind of duped into this thing. We were reading studies and listening to Aussies tell us that traveling over same day was actually going to be a good thing. I from my own personal experience of traveling to Brisbane Australia just a year ago thought to myself going over not a problem. Actually woke up felt like I was right in there. Now 10 a.m. game though so it's still different even if you're on Australia time. Nonetheless I think the trip that the LA Rams chose to do was certainly a part of their demise and their demolishing at the hands of Brock Purdy who drops an absolute bucket to Robinson which is spectacular but not just on offense not just Purdy across the board. It felt like the San Francisco 49ers were better football team and better football players than the Los Angeles Rams. People even say Sean McVey. Sean McVey looked like he was like kind of tired. Yeah. He looked like shell of himself. This little Energizer bunny that's normally on the sideline Mike Evans is a San Francisco 49er by the way. He's picking up first downs. He's running comeback routes now. Okay not only is he running fade right there not only is he run post obviously. He's running comeback routes for the Shanahan offense and I think Purdy is going to love finding him on a regular basis. George Kiddles back playing football in a fantastic way. Huge checks doing these banana pools. He's looking like an arena league or Canadian football league player. It's like we forgot I think about the Niners but I think we also kind of just thought that the Los Angeles Rams are going to have the proper idea of when they traveled over there. It feels like it was a big time out for them. A lot of people laughing in their face. They had no Wi-Fi on the way back 16 hours of depression. Thanks. 16 hours of just wondering what the hell just happened. We just got absolutely smacked in Australia. I would like to thank the Australians for showing up. That was an incredible environment. Yeah. Holy hell. That looked awesome. Now my original fears after being to an Aussie rules football game was the pitch the field was gigantic. How was it going to look for the people that were there maybe too far away from the field. I think there was a couple of first row people that probably paid a good amount of money be on the first row maybe the 50 to couldn't see a lot of stuff. But if you had any of the other seats that the 100,000 people had felt like it was probably an enjoyable morning. We hope the Aussies loved our sport and I want to let you know everything I said about the Los Angeles Rams all off season still hold true. Aaron Ball wasn't playing. We didn't know Miles Garrett couldn't play football anymore. He said we didn't know he was hurt. In Matthew Stafford he didn't look like a Matthew Stafford that we'd seen over the last couple years. Now maybe it's early in the season and maybe we forget about what early year early season Stafford looks like whenever we see him play so great towards the end of the year but he was shining away from stuff. He was missing throws. None of it looked right and I think we all have to kind of take back and kind of eat some crow and what we said about the San Francisco 49ers and the way they handle this they were unbelievable. Fred Warner becomes the all-time leading tackler for the San Francisco 49ers last night. Brock Perty cemented himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and that's just off opening Thursday night in Australia morning. AJ I love last night. Debo back. I mean it felt really really good for the 49ers across the board. AJ I would imagine the Niners are feeling very good about where they're at right now. How they came out. I mean the Rams I think should we have seen this coming I guess with all that we talked about these guys we were sitting here debating are they going to go undefeated. How does anybody ever beat this Rams team? I mean how do you get a first down? I was saying. Aaron Donald is not playing so we were talking about a different team than team we saw last night but yeah we were feeding rat poison right into the Rams and then chips on the shoulders of everybody else including this Niners team I think. Niners team I think from the top down I'm sure from GM John Lynch to Shanahan head coach all of them I'm sure we're quietly pissed off. Yes ownership. Well question and they're out there beating the streets trying to you know ingratiate themselves to these Australian fan base which it seems like they did a very good job of that. But they came out there and they showed it and you know Shanahan is in his bag again as they say with all this use check whatever banana dash cheat motion whatever you want to call it I think a lot of teams are going to try to do some of this and it's not that easy there's only one cow use check by the way I know they have other guys that run this kind of motion as well but just as a defender if you're a defensive say you're a linebacker or DB and overhang player all these little weird quirky motions just get you I think you're not able to play as downhill as you you might be against another team that has more I guess stable and doesn't move around nearly as much and a credit to Shanahan this team because they got it done. Yeah they certainly did and I want to go to the toxic table con man's thoughts did we expect this big of just an ass beating like it's a Brock party almost through a couple picks yeah right there was a couple of put a couple that if they go the other way maybe there's an opportunity but there was never really a question that the Niners were going to win this game it felt like from literally jump this San Francisco 49ers team was exactly who I guess we should have known they were all their stars are back playing all of them everybody that is potentially going to be injured this year which we hope does not get happened and potentially miss some practice or training camp they were all up and they got a backup running back Conor straight out of I you it feels like I can black and that felt like a big story you know he got a bunch of touches and I know fantasy football people were too happy about that if you had Christian McCaffrey but if you're a 49ers fan you got to be pumped you're not going to run McCaffrey into the ground the worries usually with him is that you know hey by week 15 is this guy going to be able to hold up that doesn't feel like it's going to be the case kiddo you know I don't know if he was as involved in the past game but he was blocking his ass off and he had a couple catchers still good to see him back I think it just kind of reaffirmed how good people and players are in the NFL all these teams you know the Rams as good as they are the skillly across the league is that good you know and they're going to be stacked when Aaron Donald comes back to your point it wasn't their complete defense but it wasn't as beating Brock Purdy diced the Rams defense you know and as much as I'd like to say we all kind of screwed up like when Ty yesterday said hey I'm taking the 49ers all of a sudden I thought to myself I go shit this might be the 49ers have everyone's talking about the Rams and nothing about and even the Seahawks and nothing about the Niners in that division so it was kind of one of those things where once you see Mike Evans balling out you realize oh yeah he's still unbelievable at football Debow and Shanahan's offense unbelievable just across the board the Niners and on defense they were the same two with Rahim it was impressive I was just left impressed with the 49ers in their entire team yeah I mean you know like I we talked a little bit about Brock Purdy and the defense was obviously a big part of it too because I think that's what a lot of people were saying early on was how are they going to get any pressure on Stafford you know they're already so hurt but Rahim Morris clearly he knows Sean McVey he knows how to get the mess of the most out of his guys but I think Brock Purdy is another one of those guys we talked about it with Darnold people still just don't respect him enough you know I think he's still viewed as Mr. irrelevant you know whatever just not but he is very clearly like when he is is healthy and he's playing well. He's a top 10, top five quarterback in the NFL, and it's getting Debow back. This looked like the 49ers offense from a couple years ago when they went to the Super Bowl and we thought, hey, these guys might be unbeatable. And I was a little shocked. I didn't think Mike Evans would be that heavily involved. Early, I thought it'd be one of those things where he didn't practice a whole bunch during training camp in the preseason. And it was very clear early on, he's the guy. He is Brock Perty's go-to guy, go-to target. Now he had a bunch of third-down conversions, the touchdown catch. And we talked about it. Listen, I know they don't really care what is said in the media that much, but when everyone is talking about how good the Rams are and how unbeatable they are and why are we even playing this game? What's going on? They're going to go undefeated. All these guys hear that. They know that this is a rivalry. The Rams' rivalry is a real thing. So I think they wanted to put their best foot forward. And yeah, after last night, it's one of those things where it's like, who knows? We'll see, the Rams are obviously going to be very good. And I don't think they have anything to be concerned with. Are they-- I mean, I hope so. I don't like what these stats I'm seeing. Hey, for the first time since 1492, Miles Garrett doesn't get a pressure. He just comes off of what? 20-some sacks last year. I have to forgive what it was. And then didn't practice at all. Traveled over there. They said knee swelling, knee swelling. Look, let's talk about Aaron Donnell. Let's talk about Aaron Donnell. Let's not worry about this guy that we just gave up a bunch for, and I'm going to pay a bunch to it. I mean, is he playing football? What happened? And does he just turn that back on when he gets back to American soil? Do his cleats need to be on American dirt to play well? Maybe. Maybe that's what we learned here from Miles Garrett. And then when Aaron Donnell comes back, is he going to be the difference maker that we all think this Rams could potentially be to become the odds on favor to win a Super Bowl like they were? Just-- what, a cup of-- still? Are they still the odds on favor to win a Super Bowl right now? It's got to be, yes. I'm happy that the books didn't over-act like I did. I gave up immediately. I said, these boys-- How far in? Like quarter three? Like where? Well, I just-- I like less need a lot, because he's a trader, a trader, like TRA, D-E-O-- Good one. Like he actually-- Yeah, not D-R-A-I-T-O-R-R-E. He's a stock guy. Yeah, and we don't like traders with an AI in there. Good TV show, though. Traders, I think, is the main show. Yeah, it's a pretty good show. But he's a trader. I like the way he looks at things from business-wise. And we talk about investing in this and building this and the way he goes all in and everything like that. I do like the way he operates. I like the way the team operates. But what I miss saying we're going to fly in, day off, to Australia, like clearly. Just clearly, you miss-- No, did they not care if they won this game? Because it's the first game of '17. You know, Sean McVeigh talks about-- and then people talk about Sean McVeigh's, like, kind of angling during training camp. Like, let's just get the guys in a game. Let's just get the guys in a game. Remember, Dallas Cowboys are running sprints after practice. Rams were walking off, right, and from, and say, I ain't doing that. None of the Rams players play. It's like, let's just get guys to the season. Let's get guys to the season. So did they care if they lost this game or not, you know? Like, from the jump, where they just kind of like, well, we'll go to Australia. We'll do this. We'll get this over with, and we move forward. Because that's what it looked like. And anytime you're talking like that, that's a terrible start to a season. OK, that is a terrible start to a season. Let's go to 1/2 of the hammer. Down! Cowboys, AP town. Obviously, we all lost last night with the Rams. Ty wins, congrats to Ty. And I think a few others. Gumpy also had, I believe, the Niners. He was celebrating that in my face, as I was watching my first bet of the year, really, demise with the Los Angeles Rams. What all hit last night? How did the books do? And what altered after last night's performance? Yeah, the books are off to a great start after the first two games of the season. Obviously, the first game of the year was a push for Seattle and the Under. Both games have gone under now. So anytime the games go under, that is a good result for the books. And then everyone was on the Rams last night. Obviously, Stafford totals go under. Puka totals go under. Devante totals go under. Yeah. Even Christian McCavory had a nice little night, but his rushing total went under as well. So it was a good night for the books, because when it's under, and then, obviously, everyone being on the Rams, the books are going to be very, very happy. As we looked at the Super Bowl odds, you saw the Rams go from plus 500 to plus 600. So not a huge jump there. There was some jump in the division odds. The Niners had a huge jump in the division odds to go win the West out there. As you can see, they are now basically tied with the Seattle Seahawks and the Rams. So the books have it as a three-way race there in the West, basically, the same odds for all those. So that's kind of the odds movement there, but another good night for the books, when the dog and the public favorite does not win. Last night, and it goes under. So good result for the books, and then a little bit of movement for the division. David Books. I would like to know how Matthew Stavard didn't get in on that push push. Fourth and one, seventh. They're down 17, seven, eight, four, three, four. He was doing that. He was doing that. It looks like he had this. Where Devante go? I thought the whole entire thing was, you know, first and goal or fourth and goal, whatever goal it is. Just run a little fade to Devante. They didn't have any of those. I think he only had three catches. I don't think he had a target in the first quarter. Like, just start to finish for the Rams. It was a weird man. It wasn't good. It wasn't what we expected. And I feel bamboozled that they did that to us, especially on the first Thursday night of the year. Bullshit. Yeah, I don't like it one bit either. I'll tell you what, boys, we're joined by an absolute icon right now. Ladies and gentlemen joining us is the greatest college football coach of all time. Nick Savin, David. [APPLAUSE] Do you hear the lads in the back? Do you hear the lads back in the Thunderdon? We're so excited to catch up with you. Obviously, it's hot. It's held down here in Texas, but we got a big one. Texas, Ohio State, your first thoughts as you walk on the campus this morning and how do you see tomorrow rolling out for these guys? Well, I think there's two great teams. Obviously, I think there's a lot of good players on both teams. I think two great quarterbacks on both teams. Really good skill, guys, on both teams. So it's going to be to me about the teams that can not turn the ball over and who can make the most explosive plays. Now, I think Texas is a lot better than they were a year ago. I do think Ohio State still has a really, really good team, but they have to prove that they actually rebuilt their defense to be able to play well against the team the caliber of Texas. Yeah, the issue that I have with Texas, potentially, is there was a lot of yelling about them not making the playoff last year. OK, a lot of yelling about it. And we respect it because the amount of talent that they had, they lost some games late too. Lots of Florida down the stretch. They really didn't play their best ball. Do we think offseason, archmaning, maybe getting a chance to get a year under his belt and experience? Maybe he needed that. Maybe this team need that. In Sark, do you think he maybe need that as well with his team? Do you think this year they're able to kind of be a consistent squad? Because obviously last week they looked great. But last year, they didn't have a lot of consistency. Does that come with experience? Or how do you see it with shaping up? Well, I think in talking to Sark, they have a much more mature team this year. They were a young team last year. The fact that they only had six guys adapted was not an indication of how good the personnel was. It was an indication that they had so many young players on the team. So I think that team is matured. So they're probably better to be able to go through the gauntlet of what they have to play from a scheduled standpoint weekend and week out in the SEC. And I think they have better skill players to make explosive plays. I mean, the two big goals was run the ball better, which means play better offensive line. But also make more explosive plays. So now that they added Cam Coleman, who might be one of the best receivers in the country, they've added the pieces that they need to solve the problems. And I think the runners they have now are very explosive as well. And Ohio State, they just demolish. I mean, they're rolling. Art Smith, New Offense Cornair, come from the NFL, has the keys to a car that has so much firepower. How do you feel, like Julian Sain, another year under his belt, obviously, getting a chance to come back out there? You know, I was talking to Herb Street a little bit, who'll be joining us later. Herbie was telling me, you know, it's an interesting perspective where, last year, Julian's learning all these things, try not to make the mistake because they know how good their team is. This year, a little bit more like, hey, Julian, we need you to be a part of this entire thing. I like that mindset for him. Is he the right guy for that job? Yeah, well, I think so. I mean, he led the nation in completion percentage while he was just trying to help his team win. Or not mess it up, hide any completed 84% of his passes in the first game. But let me say this about Julian. I think processing is one of the most important things a quarterback has to do. You get the ball quick. You gotta get out of your hand quick. You gotta throw it to the right guy. He is a great processor to get rid of the ball. And he's very accurate throwing the ball. The thing that I think he needs to improve on is down the stretch and the playoffs last year. He got exposed a little bit when he got pressure. He didn't get away from pressure. He didn't manage the pocket very well with pressure. So if he can improve on that, I have no question about the fact that this guy is a great processor. He's going to throw the ball to the right place at the right time. And he's accurate doing it. And he's got good guys catching it. AJ has a question for you back at the ThunderDome coach. Yeah, coach. Obviously, Matt Patricia has a bunch of new pieces. I guess they had to plug into this young defense. Great players, but some of them are untested, I guess, in huge situations. What's something like, what are you looking for from this Ohio State defense early on? If they're going to have success on the road, what do you expect Matt Patricia to do with these guys? Well, you know, one thing that I don't think people realize that I didn't even realize, you know, talking to Sark last night we went to dinner together, is he was very surprised last year in the game that Matt Patricia played the scheme that he played against them. A lot of sink, a lot of zone sink, you know, five down guys with two linebackers, Caleb Downs, being able to play middle linebacker, will linebacker will. whatever coming out of the safety position and they had a lot of adjusting to do it half time and I think this probably contributed to some degree to arch being confused and not playing great in the game so I don't know what he's going to do but I'm telling you I think Texas has better weapons so they better not give up the big play and they better control the line of scrimmage now I do think Ohio State is very good in the defensive line I think they're very powerful and I think that's going to be a big challenge for Texas's offensive line. What did you guys eat for dinner? Who paid? I tried to pay and he beat me to the punch. Oh I like that. Oh I like that. I like that. I like that he beat you to the punch. You may have got the waiter or waitress before you even had a chance to ask. What did you guys eat? Anything good? Was it good food? There was real good food. Stank meat. A lot of meat down here right? I went with the pasta. Oh what? Ton has a question for you back in the thunder now I'm a little grotsied down here. It's 150 degrees. I didn't know we're doing pasta. Let's get some heavy stuff in there. It's coach Sabin football. Yeah coach, there's a couple SEC teams that are favorites traveling with freshman quarterbacks on the road this weekend. Obviously Tennessee is going to Georgia Tech as a favorite and then Bama is going to Kentucky as a favorite in in kind of hostile environments for both of those situations. How do you when you were coaching and you went into these first game of the year into a hostile environment with a potential young quarterback. How did you treat those situations and how do you think those teams will do it this weekend? Well you know it's obviously a huge challenge any time you got to deal with noise. But what I tried to emphasize to the players was the fans aren't going to make any plays in the game. So it's up to us to be mature enough to be able to manage the situation and we would practice actually two days Wednesday and Thursday with noise so that they had to to practice and change plays and getting the right play and get the signals without being able to communicate verbally to try to get these guys ready for that. But is it a challenge for them? No doubt. Now I think those two guys that you talked about though have the potential to be really good quarterback. I think the sky from Tennessee was fantastic in the first week. I also think you didn't mention Mississippi State going to Minnesota. True. Come on, Taylor. Yeah. He's the real deal now. He's the truth and the light. And I'm going to see how that guy is. He was awesome. He was awesome. Yeah, you were talking about him this morning. You just got him the truth and the light. How come? What did you see from him? How what do you know him? Well, I'm just watching a guy play a little bit last year and then a lot this year and then talking to Jeff Levy. I mean, this guy is a very good passer but athletic and can run and create plays on his own. So I think this guy's going to be a big time surprise for a lot of people in the SEC. Wow. Is the SEC getting deeper this year, maybe? Well, we've already got nine teams at the top 25. I like the big 10 who has three good teams at the top and then nothing. Why? Come on. Welcome. That's ridiculous. Hi, you CFP conversation starting early this year. I mean, we're at college football week two and we're already trying to plant some seeds down there. You hear this guy? We're down here in the South. Hey, 100. They're saying like 130, 140 degrees on this and now it's a night game obviously. But I do think, yeah, dude, we're saying on the field. On the field. Yeah. That's field turf. That will. Yeah. Absolutely. They're saying 130, 140 degrees. And now, granted, that was last week because they're a day game. This is a night game tomorrow. I won't do that. But I do think where the big 10 in the SEC play each other really matters. Like, I think that really, really matters. AJ, I think you even agree on that as you have a question for Coach Sabin, but that Tennessee Ohio State game a couple of years back, negative 10 degrees. Yeah, right. I mean, you know what I mean? Like even northern teams are cold as hell. Not that Tennessee doesn't get cold, but I just feel like that was a neutralizer there in Ohio State, dominating them. The SEC big 10 conversations are only going to get louder and you already heard somebody starting it right now. You already heard somebody. So the field reached 106. Put that back up. 160 degrees. That doesn't seem safe. Yeah. What? Yeah, please. Have you seen the heat readings for grass fields versus turf fields? Another one too. Yeah, sure. That'll come up at some point. Yeah, but I think what this does though is it really challenges a depth on your team. So if you have a lot of depth on your team and you can roll players in there, especially the big guys, because you know, the big guys once once the big guys run out of gas, there is no coming back. The little guys, they can get tired and in another minute or two, they're ready to go back. But then big guys, when that tank empties, it's done. They're done. So you got to keep them rolling fresh so they can play for 60 minutes in the game. We got no gas station coming to save this thing. Okay. There is nothing. Young guys pulling the side. Got to top it off. They're back in there. These big guys, once they tap, it's over. I like that a lot. I don't know if you know this coach. Door dash on Saturdays. If you utilize door dash on Saturdays, do you know what door dash is? That's a good question. Yeah. You know what door dash is? Well, that's a mystery question, isn't it? Oh, yes. Mysterious. If you had to guess, would you guess at this or would it have to do with that? If you had to guess what door dash was, what do you think it would be? That's something, somebody that delivers something to you. Boom. Yeah. Not just somebody. It is an app that has a bunch of people that do that. You can order anything on their coach. Oh, great. You want a steak? You can get some Italian. That can come. Some shoes? Path more pasta. You want a speedo, potentially. You know to go banana hammock out here. You can get that on door dash. Literally anything. I think I'll pass that. But at one point, you were with it, though, huh? Okay. So let's talk about the time when you weren't past that, when you talk about that a little bit here as we back up. So we can do a split screen. I don't know if this one's back. This one's back here. Door dash has everything you need delivered to your to your house. Okay. It's in the area. Obviously, anything you have available. It gets on Saturday on game days. If you shop with door dash, you earn points. And you could potentially win a house. What? Money towards a house. Oh, great. Yes. You need what to know. Yeah. How about a hellcat charger? You could win a potential Dodge hellcat charger 600 and some ponies under the hood. You know what I mean? I think it really gets going. You could win one of those. Use door dash on Saturday. What about my Ferrari? What about my Mercedes? You're not giving it away. I want you to tell the order. Actually, that's funny. He just said that. From our understanding, no, I can't say that. Actually, there's too many companies involved here. I was about to put up one of his Ferrari's for this door dash thing. We can't do that. We can't do that. I cannot do that. We would like to give away how much are those? How much is a Ferrari? Depends. They're quite expensive. 50/60,000. 50/60,000. What's the cheapest one that we could like do as a giveaway? 210. 300 maybe. Jesus Christ. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that big of a giveaway. Dollars? Maybe later. Maybe college football playoff time. We'll do that. Good for you guys. Good for you guys, by the way. I love what you're doing. Coach, anyways, tone digs back in the ThunderDum has a question for you. Shop on door dash on Saturdays. You can win a house, not a Ferrari yet, but certainly a Dodge Hellcat charger. Go ahead, tone. Yeah, coach. I wanted to talk to you then about the other big game this weekend in Oklahoma and Michigan. Obviously, Michigan, the whole talk was about the Hail Mary in that situation. And a lot of people, Michigan offense looked horrendous, Oklahoma, obviously not the greatest defense that you want to go up after you looked terrible in week one. What are your thoughts on that Michigan offense? Obviously, going up against Vennibles in that defense in a spot where you need to look good. Yeah, well, I think Vennibles is one of the best defensive coordinators ever, and I know he's a head coach now, but he's still calling the defenses. And he's the one guy that's so aggressive that he's always trying to put you behind the eight ball by creating negative plays on offense. And he does it by, he's one of the guys on defense that's taken advantage of the green dot all the time. In other words, he wants to see what you're in. He's going to keep messing around until they can't tell the quarterback anything else and then catch you in something that he wants to try to try to create a negative play. And I think in this game last year, he created 12 negative plays against Michigan's offense. Now, it comes down on offense to recognizing where this pressure is coming from and be able to block it up because it does lend itself to if you do execute to having the opportunity to make explosive plays, which Michigan didn't have a lot of success at last year, but it doesn't just come down to the quarterback. Everybody's got to recognize this. He's got execute and then you got a chance to make some explosive plays. And I think that's going to be the key to the game that Michigan can minimize the times that they, that Oklahoma can create negative plays against their offense and put him behind the eight ball because they haven't proven that they're an offense that can make up the sticks when it's second and 12 instead of second six. Yeah, I think the stats says that Bryce only has two completions past 40 yards, including the Hail Mary obviously took place in the post game there against Western Michigan. There's a stat floating around about Clemson with Vennables and then post Vennables. Can you tell me a little bit about him and how you guys all view his defense and why it's obviously so damn good? Well, we played him when he was at Clemson more than I like to remember. We had, we won a couple, but we also lost a couple and a lot of it was because of the things that he did on defense, you know, he makes it hard for the quarterback. I mean, like I remember the first play in a national championship game, two is the quarterback, they run Starfire, which is just a sample, it's out of nickel. And they usually play middle of the field coverage. So what does two it do pulls the ball to throw a slant, they're playing two trap, pick right off the bat, first play of the game. So I mean, but that confusion that he created with how you prepare the quarterback to play against that pressure and then how he changed the look was All the difference in the world in terms of them creating a big play and he does that over and over and over and over And if he knows what you're in on offense He's going to know exactly what you'd like in that formation and try to take advantage of it Yeah, the stats from Bill Jones who does not have a blue check mark says Elon I'm not paying you three bucks during 2008-2011 is Clemson before Brent Vendables 32 and 22 Clemson with Brent Vendables from 2012 to 2021 21 and 17 with two national titles 10 first round draft mix pretty good Clemson after Vendables 37 and 18 obviously with what we just saw Down to LSU last week, which leads me to this question. Are they dead coach? LSU really good. They's up to take away from last week is that LSU is unbelievable Clemson obviously Davos says Does he he was asked if he regretted anything is off season and he said what we ought to let more games Okay, we all have more games ask me after the finish of the season He said we know 11 to one technically very true. Obviously he knows his locker room better than us Should we take that as LSU is just a monster this year or Clemson down? How did you kind of view the first week? Well, you know it's one week, you know Just like you're talking about the ramps. It's one week. So everybody needs to calm down So LSU is very good after one week they they were dominant in the game They played extremely well their well coach Lane does a great job. They've got a lot of good players can they Sustained that consistency and performance throughout the year that's always the challenge for your team Clemson on the other hand was not very impressive You know they couldn't run the ball quarterback wasn't very impressive. They turned the ball over So they have an opportunity to make a big jump from week one to week two in terms of how they improve and You know how they can try to win in their league But other than Miami who are they going to play that's better than LSU? Well North Carolina maybe you remember I picked down the one here but I thought I was lying out there Louisville Also had damn good football team. ACC has a lot more teams of people give them credit for last question for your coach We appreciate you joining us Actually, I might have a follow up about the ramps because you just talked about us not over Reacting that it felt hard not to con man has a question for you back at a Thunderdome Yeah, car speaking of the ACC What about SMU can you just walk us through what the situation was then how you would kind of handle it? It was pretty crazy obviously Florida state no lights game gets delayed by two hours How do you kind of keep your team engaged and then what did you see from SMU that makes you think maybe they are going to be able to Kind of run the table go to the ACC championship We talked to you know lastly and he's incredible feels like they have all the resources down there and they have a guy Kevin Jennings She's going to be able to take them all the way. What did you see from them on on Monday night? Well, I've always been impressed with Kevin Jennings and if he doesn't turn the ball over You know, he's a fantastic player. He's athletic. He's a good passer So I think that gives them a great opportunity. I Look Florida state played better in the game. They competed their tail off in the game But to answer the first part of your question is you know We never had a game where the lights went out But we had a couple where we had Thunder and all that we had to go in and delay for an hour or whatever So I tried to make it as real in the locker room to keep the players engaged like I would make the coaches take the offense and a defense over here and Sort of go over the first 20 plays or review the defense again that we were going to run or whatever it was So that the players just couldn't like lose focus and Obviously the longer that the lay goes on the harder that is to do But it seemed to me like both teams came out and played pretty good football in this game and SMU just won on a close one Yeah, I think Lashley was talking about how there was a time where they met under the stadium with the commissioner and the refs and They both had coaches and both athletic directors and there was a little bit of power that won up And he thought maybe if that power drops back out they're gonna move that game to Tuesday He's got a game on Saturday all those things happening in real time in the bows of the stadium Just felt like it was out of a movie and then SMU steals one there norvel seemingly in trouble down there Simulian a little bit of trouble down there for state. He's not the only one though every year These coaches get in trouble because they can't win enough games. How hard is it to win a game each week? Can you just talk about that a little bit of somebody that won every single game? No, I'm 17 years he was in the top 10 that got brought this morning. How many seconds got added to his clock? Second added to the clock whenever you needed it. Yeah, no At Auburn that didn't have that what was that grave grave digger. Yeah, is that the down digger? Yeah, was it we should check the clock there You know that was in Auburn. I think wasn't it? Thank you might a 31 Well, it was a Hail Mary last week of Michigan. I mean nobody thought that was gonna be completed But they put an extra second on there give him another shot at it Yeah, but you know you have to actually practice those plays. I'll defend those plays just like You know, I saw Western Michigan rush four guys, you know on that last play We always rush three and put the extra guy deep so they're in triple formation. We'd have played five underman with three deep guys and And on the last player of the game We wouldn't even have covered the running back or the tight end we'd have just let them go because if they throw on the ball We can tackle them. But we'd have played five so we have an over and under on every one of these players. You see Western Michigan has plenty of guys in the end zone They don't have anybody under them and it's like basketball man You got a box. I'm out to try to get a rebound and You know, it's unfortunate that You know that they had to play this play again because they did a much better job But defending the first Hail Mary that second. Yeah, I think whatever you throw out of bounds it helps as well I said to see what Bryce Underwood's future is also You're the man. We appreciate the hell out of you. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. I always love being on with you guys You ask great questions and it's my football mind roll coach. You look really good. Hey, the button's here Yeah, I'm pretty clean. I love that. Is that the is that the offline jacket here? Let me see what you do the buttons match the jacket Yeah, the buttons match the jacket as I got this joystick here in the logo kind of flying the plane Do you put all your stuff together coach or is that Miss Terry or your clothing? Miss Terry look at that the buttons match the jack oh cool. Yeah, that's class. Yeah, that wouldn't you old Ferrari's Yeah, I was about to say I'll tell you move for our is in South Florida. Yeah, got access for us You're the man. Ladies are gentlemen. They've been trying to show their class on the show Yeah, I don't know what I think they say we would still be a new great job coach in in College for Bob It's her chance he comes back in a year. I don't think so he does seem to be a bit I think the NIL stuff was a big reason why he wanted to leave and it seems like that's kind of what they got the guard rails in place that he's looking I never had anyone get it I mean that ain't happening in shops. I'm gonna be a very Sammell it ain't happy Yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, he said forget it. Yeah, that's what he just said exactly I said hey, I said hey coach AJ just said you're gonna come back to coach or something. He said forget it and just kept moving He's got to save the world remember. He's doing politics now with the protect college sports to do a PSA He ain't got time to coach and when he's dressing like this He might be too good of a dress risk. I might be a fucking model by the time I go next week's coach. We appreciate how I do He said if he takes a coaching job, he'll have to commute so Mysteries not moving anywhere It's a school close. Hey West Virginia. He's a Florida. We love to have you catered out. I got to do what you got to do I do the best Ladies and gentlemen from one icon and Hall of Fame coach to another. Oh, yeah Pittsburgh's coach. It's been on CBS. I believe I don't want to get it wrong. Is it 30 years 20 years? 25 years. Yeah, we're between 20 and 50 going on year 20. I forget It's a celebration. It is an annual it's either 20 25 or 30 whatever it should be. It's a big one 20 Okay ladies and gentlemen a man who's celebrating 20 years at CBS a man who brought Super Bowl to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania one of the most iconic inzers of all time. His stash is glorious. The way he speaks It's beautiful. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Kyle. Yeah How you doing, Bill? I'm doing good, Pat. How's Texas a little hot down there? Coach coach, I know you spent some time down there at NC State and everything like that I know you bounce around in the warm weather a little bit. They're saying it's a hundred It was 160 on this turf last week 160 degrees last week LSU I sweat through my entire suit tomorrow. I might faint. There's a chance. I have been saying hydrated I'm getting IVs in me. I don't know how the South does it. Honestly genuinely coach What did I play in that night? You're at night tomorrow. It's no sun. You're good. Yeah, game day. Same time. Game day, same time Yeah, let me let me tell you something. We played Jacksonville opening day a number of years and Drone offense has asked them if they made us wear our black jerseys So that already started the rivalry so that became a physical game from the very beginning and I told you around We will count the reps that you have but every one of those reps you make somebody pay with the way you run the football So just want you to know that there is game and ship that takes place with southern teams Yeah, there certainly is and we know Miami the you certainly benefited from that I think that the youngest home wind streak in the history of college football Let's talk about playing your first week in punishing people and everything. Did you play any international games? I don't remember how international NFL was back whenever you were the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers leading us Obviously to title it's the the Australian thing was interesting here so far away make very vastly different style than Shanahan And Shanahan just beats their ass. What did you see last night? What are your thoughts on how was handled? Well, I Don't tell you don't agree with going in there 24 hours beforehand and if that's you forgot like mouse gear Who's already limited with his knee a long flight? like that. You're going to leave at least 24 hours just for that need to get back to its normal size. So we did play overseas games, Pat. But we really were pre-season games. I've always enjoyed going over to different places. We went to Japan, we went to Ireland, we went to Barcelona, been in Germany. And so those were great games. But I think it acclimated to where you're at. It was a big part of, like, to me the experience. So the going in there, that short of time, I'll think that was the right idea. But at the same time, you sit there and look at that game. The quarterback sneak, I don't know if I would have given that to Matthew Stafford, I'd give it to a running back. They score right there. It's going to be a three-point game with a whole quarter to play. And then what happens, that's absolutely to that, there's a draw of 99 yards. So I look at that game, the ebb and flow, there was a part of that game. And I think as you've talked about already, getting a guy like Fred Warner back and Nick Boes and Dre Greenle on the defensive side. And I thought Brock Pretty played great. I think what you're talking about, too, with Keon Black, he'd be in a great compliment to Christian McCaffrey. And that's a good football team. Again, a big if, as if they can stay healthy. Yeah, the questions always came to stay healthy. Hopefully they're able to, Keon White with a huge fumble recovery here. And this felt like the football gods a little bit, didn't it? Then it feel like this was the football gods here, especially as we saw the Vonte Adams getting subbed off the field. Remember, he had like 12 red zone touchdowns last year. I think it was some sort of NFL record. He's unguardable off the line. Stafford can throw the fade every single time, just like Brock Pretty was. So to go away from that with what you had last year and for this to end the way it was, felt like it was the football gods coach. Yeah, I, they stayed in the 13th person out a long time. I feel like at some point, you could open that up a little bit more and taking advantage of all the weapons that you were just talking about. And I think for that secondary. So, you know, I don't know. I think they kind of played into the hands of this San Francisco team, but almost trying to shorten the game and run the football like they did. But again, it's just one or two plays and make a difference. And again, that drive that Brock Pretty put together at 99 yard drive was very impressive. Yeah, it was certainly beautiful. It last question for me before the boys have a bunch about the NFL. Are we worried about the Rams? No, not. We're not worried at all. No, no, I think it was Sean had to do it again. I think that decision of going over there the day of was just not a good one for that call. That, that long of a flight. So, and that being the case, listen, I think you look at all the, the priest season talk about them being the team and going out and getting there and don't go come back. Biles Garrett and what they have on offense, the preseason pick. I think it's probably motivated Seattle and motivated the San Francisco 49ers. And again, this 49er team, they were beat up last year. They haven't had a lot of these players. And I think calm, I made this thing. The Bibos Samuel in this offense is a great, great fit. Mike Evans, a great addition. And then you get them back healthy. If they can stay healthy, Trent Williams is still giving them something on that left side. I don't think that was anything close to Miles Garrett, but that is a good offensive line. It's a good quarterback. And I just love Kyle's system. That about the con man. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, coach, you mentioned Kyle's system there. There's a lot of talk about this motion. We see use check in even kiddo. There's a couple of different guys doing it. Mainly use check. The banana return, all of this stuff where you don't really know where he is going to end up. I guess what are your thoughts on this type of motion? I'm sure a lot of other teams are going to try to use it. But how would you defend against this? And what kind of problems doesn't cause? You know, AJ, I think emotion is delusion right now on the national football league. When you talk about everybody, everybody's using, I mean, I think that and I would be using the first and foremost because of like you just talked about, it's a little bit of deflection from the linebackers. And a pass to the fullback would take you to the ball right now. You got to eliminate that all that stuff that's going on. You've got to be very tunnel vision and what you're looking at and see a more a peripheral element of what that triangle really looks like. So I think you're going to see Maryfek the game that we have on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings and going up against the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings, when I got Frank Smith as her offensive coordinator, talking to Kevin O'Connell, they're going to be a lot more motion. And you're ever seen with them because he comes from a bike McDonald offense, which uses motion more than anybody in national football. And motion right now is as at as high as from last year, almost 65% of teams are using motion on every down. So I think it's a part of the next generation. I think it's great. I think it gives you flexibility, it gives you confusion. And I think it's like any of the kind of the Canadian football league. When getting people moving at the snap and other people sitting there stagnant, there's a lot to be stuck to that. Is the NFL going to crack down on it just like J.J. kind of said right there. It's like, hey, if we're going to start getting running towards the line of scrimmage motions, I mean, that changes a lot of things, I think, for offenses, especially, I mean, I just immediately go with like Patrick Ricard up there for the Giants with the amount of meat they have. If we're going to really start, is this the next evolution of what offenses become here, Coach? Well, I think, listen, I think there's going to be adjustments. May, I don't think they're going to allow him to be. I don't know if he was actually going toward the line of scrimmage. I think the one thing he saw yesterday is a push push. We saw two offensive off sides called. So clearly right now in the off season, they were looking at that offense and saying, you don't happen to push and you have an offensive line with, he's ahead of that ball. We're calling it. So that is going to be something that was called twice yesterday with a push push. And that's going to be there. But I think the motion thing, they, I mean, he's still going backwards when the ball is snapped. So there's a lot to listen. There's a fine line with that. Again, I think it's just the next, I think it's Coach Jenhan being innovative. Like, what's wrong with that? I think there's innovations. She'll always take place in National Football League. And I love the fact that he's doing it. Look at all the offensive. The Rams use it. The Seattle uses it. The San Francisco use it. You're going to see it. Miami uses it for years. So I think if you don't use it, I think you're behind the ball. Hey man, whenever they get Trent doing that, which is only a matter of time, he's going to have Trent doing this. He's going to have Trent be six yards behind a line of scrimmage. Kind of do that'll have to turn and start heading forward. It's a poor sorry sap. It's going to be sitting on the outside. It's just going to have to take one for the team. And he's going to get put through the turf. Now, con man, you complimented what he said earlier about Debo in the San Francisco 49ers offense. I don't know if he saw his quarterback. Three picks in a final quarter. Obviously, to lose the opener has a question for him. Yeah, he didn't play too well, but you know, neither do they running MVP. So I guess if you were in the MVP conversation last year, you might get off to a slow start. However, coach, it does feel like a lot of these teams are just sloppy. You know, the preseason has become this kind of session where not the starters really aren't playing, you know, Seattle. I think had 10 penalties. Obviously, Pat mentioned Drake May in the fourth quarter, you know, throwing three interceptions. The Rams even, you know, staffer looked a little rusty off the rip and then never really found a groove. Should we expect a lot of sloppy football this weekend? Is it one of those things where these first couple of weeks now have kind of turned into the preseason for these starting teams? You know, of course, there's going to be situations like Sam Fram where they just come out hotter than a pistol and there's nothing you can do. And you're going to lose to those types of teams. But is that kind of what we should expect? Or do you think that for the most part, some of these teams are just going to be ready to roll the preseason, they figured all their stuff out and kind of developed their team the right way? What do you kind of take away from the sloppiness so far? Well, I mean, I think calm down when you look at it, let's just say this for Drake May, if Romeo and Dobbs catches a pass, it's writing his hands in the early enough for the quarter. That is a whole different football game. So I'm not going to say that one or two plays you talked about the quarterback sneak, but this play, like right now, he catches, look, this is, this isn't the fourth quarter. You catch up all, you're now going right there. It's first and 10 and you now go down to kick a feel bowl. It's a whole different football game. So that I, I, I, I, I, I, it's what I'm saying. So, but I do believe when you look at the offenses early in the season, they are going to be behind the defenses. And I think in San Francisco, it wasn't because they play a short passing game. I think the long, the long passing games and timing is going to be off. You really don't play game speed in the preseason. These guys aren't playing the preseason. I'm actually the short passing game. That's going to be there because you can time that up. The longer passing game that the deep balls, that's something that really does take time. And I think that it will come as the season goes on. On the opposite side of the Patriots was the Seahawks and they looked a lot like what they looked like in the Super Bowl on the defensive side. McDonald, I think you brought zone like 78% of the time against the Patriots here. And then in the Super Bowl is like 76% of the time feels like he had to figure it out. We watch hard knocks. I actually became a fan of their team. Ty has a question for you about that. Yeah. Coach, I think a lot of people became a fan of Mike McDonald didn't really know too much about his personality or anything like that until they saw hard knocks. But how impressed have you been with it? It seems like when it comes to Seattle, he hasn't been there that long, but we immediately, we already know he has established a culture. We know exactly how they're going to play. It doesn't matter if they're missing guys. It seems like they can plug and place anyone in there and they're going to be physical and they're unbelievable. Are you surprised that Mike McDonald has been able to get this much out of Seattle this quickly? Would you put him up there? We always talk about these offensive head coaches, but it seems like if you were going to start a franchise tomorrow, he would be right at the top of the list of coaches you would want to lead your team. No question, Ty. I think when you look at Mike McDonald, I love his approach to the game. He's going to bring you some pressures early. He's going to bring some pressures late. He's going to stay unpredictable. I think we look at all great offenses or defenses. There's an unpredictability about that that makes you special. And I always thought, you know, I always haven't, I still always say, I always want to blitz my back pocket for the second half and make you have to make an adjustment on the sideline, not in the locker room at halftime. And I think that's kind of Mike McDonald's philosophy. You know, he's a guy who came from Baltimore and we're talking to him when he was down there, went out to the L.A. Chargers. And I just think he's a guy. It's got a great feel for the game. The players understand he's all ball all the time, but at the same time, he understands he respects his team. So he likes to run the football. I think to derby and price need to miss a beat last night, losing Kenneth Walker for their offense. And I think they did a great, great job. with Drew Locke bringing him in. I know there was some situations there that used up the clock and had some situations from that standpoint getting to play in and out, but I'd say what, they're a very well-oiled machine. There were a lot of penalties. I think that is the first part of the season, but I love Mike McDonald and what he brings to the game. Yeah. If you just had a little bit bigger jaw, you know what I mean? It comes with time, Pat, it comes with time, trust me, that and the lack of hair. That goes for a while. I think I'm heading the same way, boss. I think I'm heading the same way. Now, McDonald announced a very opposite of Los Angeles Rams who have 11 captains. McDonald announced that he's going to do weekly captains. The other person that announced that was another Irish fellow, Mike McCarthy for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tone has a question about that state. Yes, he did, coach. Do you know what? A question for you first. Do you know what happened on September 13th, 1992? Well, it would have been 1992, is it my first or second game? That was your second game. It was your first home game. And that was against the New York Jets? Yeah. And you got a win on your first home game, obviously as a Pittsburgh man in front of the street. Yeah. How do you think Mike feels also on September 13th, his first home game taking on the Atlanta Facts and what do you think his emotions and nerves are going to be like going into this game? And how do you feel about them on Sunday? You know when you grew up there, there was something special about going back into that stadium. And I've never went back into three of our stadiums on that particular day. And it was against the New York Jets. You know, a matter of fact, Pat, Pat Kerwin was on the serious. He was on the jet staff at that time with Pete Carroll and he came down to look at us and he said, wow, they're doing a lot of goal-earners before the game. I guess we used to do a lot of goal-earners before the game. Let's get the Pat. Let's get the ladder up a little bit. We did that high school coach. I love it. Yeah. But we did that in Pittsburgh my first year, too. So I'd say we did a lot of goal-earners, get the pads going and Pat went down and goes, Pete, I don't think we have a chance today because he's doing a lot of goal-earned doctors. But you know what? That first game is special for Mike. He's going to walk through that tunnel, you know, growing up right there in Greenfield. And I said, you know, it's so ironic, because I remember, you guys, I was with you guys back there with the draft in that office. I remember being at office. That office that window looks over the Menager Halo right there and it was, it looks into Greenfield. So how ironic was him to come back to the Pittsburgh Steelers and do a facility that's on the south side and be able to look out your window to where you grew up? And that's got to be a reminder every day to him how the circle of life works, how the football gods work. And I think he's going to brace this year, and I think it's a team, a little bit under the radar right now. They're going to have a much better identity, I think, on the offensive side of the ball. And I think Patrick Ames will start moving TJ Waddle around and I think he'll bring something to the defensive side as well. So we'll see how they get off to, I think, taking Atlanta with the first game is a good toe. It's a good start. Obviously their situation quarterback is somewhat questionable. So I think it's going to be really special for Mike to walk out of there when he comes out for the pregame. Yeah, news out of Atlanta, Cooper Rush is getting on the one's jack strand, potentially backup quarterback over the Atlanta. We saw him play against the Colts. He spiked the ball in my daughter's base. Look out. Yeah, he actually did. He was, he was big. He was strong. Tua has back thing, having no bleak thing happening. So he might not be ready to go interesting spot for Kevin Stephanski. We also have some breaking news that has happened here while we've been live here this hour. And has officially been put on to the IR, which means he's out for a minimum of four games. Coach, obviously high ankle sprain, four weeks, at least, and they also want him to get back healthy. And you can do this now with the IR where you can bring people back over the last few years since like COVID, I do believe whenever you have a new weapon on the team, I was kind of surprised about how they didn't force feed them. I kind of expected them to force feed them a little bit. I guess McDaniel was kind of going to work his way in there. Did your thoughts on a new start come into a team and obviously this sucks for AJ Brown in the Patriots? How the trolls out? Yeah, I think you also think about the other side of the ball, that's what they're thinking too, right? So I think there are a lot of times it's the chess match that you're playing right now. And I think that they know that AJ Brown is going to be the guy we saw what he brings to it. They did a flea flicker that was somewhat underthrow him and AJ did a great job creating the passer appearance. But you know, listen, it's a long year. It's going to be great opportunity for the guys to step up right now. And I think that's what they're going to have to do. I mean, you're going to have to get the Mario Douglas keep involved with the game, you know, you know, when we saw Matt Collins and Joshua Dobbs now, he's got to be a part of that offense. The right game will be a part. So, you know, I think the injury sometimes early in the season, it makes you be resourceful and also gives the other players a chance to play, they have not played before in the real fight line of fire. So I don't think it's really that, I mean, it's a problem for the next four weeks, but I think in a long run of things getting him and I think you have to manage, I think managing if someone's workload to the course of a 17 game season and being healthy, going into the playoffs, sometimes I think listening to a few games is not the worst thing a real particularly for some of these skilled players. Well, hopefully AJ Brown gets back healthier than ever, obviously positive thoughts of prayers towards him and he's recovery everybody else that got hurt and coach, you guys are live on Sunday, I believe, right? Aren't you live? Why? Why? Live in Minnesota. Give Minnesota against Green Bay. It's going to be a good one. You know, I'm just saying up there at tie, I mean, I don't feel about your team. I'm very excited for Sunday. I really don't know what to expect. There are a lot of question marks for the Packers going into this year. Coach, how do you feel about the ice team? I think it would be a better question. Well, listen, I think you're going in there and we talked about you, you don't have Michael Parsons, you don't have Josh Jake, it's probably two of your better football players. But I tell you what, I like their football team. When you look at their quarterback, I think when you look at their head coach Matt Moore, how about the fact that, again, and it's the defensive coordinator, he knows Colin Murray as well as anybody. So, it'll be interesting to see how that chess match matches. And I think it's really still K-O-C's offense, so it's really not, you know, Jonathan Gannig going against Kyler. But I think the one thing Jonathan Gannig will be able to understand is when Kyler starts to feel it, get a little messy in the pocket. What is his instincts? You step up, you know, all right hand corners like they're escaped to the right, but I've always seen Kyler. He likes to step up, then step back. And get out to the right. He's going to find a way to get to the right. I mean, getting to the right where he can throw right hand is good, but he's one of those guys that works up and back. So, it'll be interesting to see how he plays against it because Jonathan Gannig has come out and said that Colin Murray is the worst when he's out of the pocket. He's got a great football team that he can throw to. It's a pretty good group of skilled players on the Minnesota side. I love how it worked out. You are. You're losing your air pods. Have a great season. I appreciate the hell out of your legend. That's Bill Kyle, ladies and gentlemen.

A new podcast series from ABC Audio in 2020 goes inside a case that has captivated the nation. Many people, Luigi Mangione, is a modern day Robin Hood. People were cheering the demise of this person they'd never met. It was a father of two and a husband and had a life and was just doing a job. From the manhunt, ending in a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, to what authorities are saying about a possible motive, I'm ABC News legal analyst Brian Buckmeyer. Listen to Burnin' a Proof, Luigi Mangione, wherever you get your podcasts. Outward two of the Pat Mac and B show, I'm AJ Hawks sitting in for Pat here at his desk. He's down in Austin, Texas for a giant match up tomorrow, Rams win 27-7. Football! It's really fine and all time high, isn't it Pat? I think football is really, you know, we're really doing it right now. Did I hit it or no? Oh yeah, you're spot on, yeah. Okay, because I did, I found myself in your situation where you're a little bit of a delay, so you want to go a little bit ahead of time, but then your ears, it never tells you if you're on or not. AJ, you look fantastic. Really jocked, looks like you're putting on a little bit of muscle, are you trying to put on a little muscle? Aren't we always, all of us always trying to put on a little bit of muscle? No. So I am trying to get shredded, actually, I am not trying to. I feel like I'm always in bulking season, I'm always, it's why I joke with my kids, like I'm trying to get the 2.95. Is that what you're trying to do right now, actually? No, but maybe at some point. You look good as well, I'm saying, you're, because obviously your head, the size of that thing, you're going to have a strong neck just strictly because it's been working hard. Why didn't manual neck hold drive here? I had a 3 hour drive here, I do manual neck for probably an hour and a half, can you show us how you do that? No. Yeah, can you tell us what that was? Show us how that neck worked. Just hold your forehead and put your head back and then do like 50 reps in a row of real it yet. What? You need full range of motion. You got to make sure you get the full range of motion. How do you work your throat? I know you had, so what were you doing for your throat? I don't have any issues with my throat, no, I'm not sure exactly what you're alluding to. I thought you were working your neck and your throat, what were you doing on your throat? No, I'm very high. Ladies and gentlemen, one half of the hammer down Cowboys, Bubblegumpea, you know what I'm doing? Oh, good shot. How are you doing, everybody? Good to see you. Good to see you. You look good, Paul. just a couple of seconds ago you guys would have maybe had eyes on Joe who's right behind gumpy I should have cut that Joe Joe new man to the to the crew absolutely legend this man from Long Island New York used to be a police officer nice security guy incredibly hilarious I'm talking about he's on it yeah by time either so we got a good crew here thank you to Texas for allowing us to be here we're right outside where they walk in I believe this is one of their field clubs obviously the field is here so thank you to Texas for being so hospitable incredibly excited for tomorrow morning's college game day is Texas Hoso-Haus state a high state off a big win Texas off a big win nice measuring stick game here in week two AJ your thoughts on how this one's gonna unfold and beautiful Austin Texas tomorrow night I mean I tell you what I'm excited to see this because there are a lot of unknowns I think in this game like every year your your rosters turning over with the NIO and different transfer portal guys but you know you have tons of talent on both sides of the ball like Texas has very loaded with talent Ohio State is always loaded with talent I feel like Arthur Smith new offensive coordinator he's still getting you know feeling what it feeling out what his guys do best and will always adjust his game plan but I feel pretty good about I feel pretty good about a high state about Julian saying to last year I don't know if you've heard like the old cliche oh they're gonna take the train wheels off of of saying this game last year against Texas it was basically hey take care of the ball don't lose it for us now I think Julian feels very comfortable in what he can do and let's see how they defend Jeremiah Smith because we know he garners a bunch of attention to see how it opens up for the rest of the guys I think taking the training wheels off is a real conversation piece though because it's a vastly different mindset than what it was last year I mean Ohio State's defense what last year Michael Don is one of the best ever say what a one national championship because they didn't win a national championship not talk about as one of the best ever but should be considered one of the best ever especially with the amount of draft picks who knows what these guys go on to do in the NFL so archwaying saying hello week one in Columbus against that defense with what we now know about that defense is just a wild start to his career and then for Julian saying his career to start was hey our defense is unbelievable okay we got guys outside let's just not be okay you just kind of let's get through so we lose it's your fault young young buck and that's a tough thing to kind of handle too mentally it feels like Julian saying handled it very well we talked about him and will hard's development of leadership watching will do his thing whenever they go to the national championship it's really good time for Julian saying it's kind of take the you know take the reins and just kind of become a guy and on the flip side archmaning I mean all conversation about him over the offseason and beginning of season is like this is what we thought it was gonna be I was one of the loudest drum pounders for archmaning in front of a microphone that you could possibly have just strictly because I was very fortunate enough to kind of understand the way the manning family operates I was very fortunate enough to meet a lot of them I was very fortunate to be around them and it's like the manning passing academy exists this guy is a superhero manning he can run and he can jump and he can dance sky could dance yeah not a lot of mannings can dance other than Archie you know I don't know if we've seen Peyton try yes don't you think we've seen a lot of Texas Tuesday I bet he can't even though he's six foot nine to some dollar I'm thinking you I'm thinking if you ask Peyton he's gonna tell you he can't dance for shit I'm thinking I'm thinking that's what he's gonna say Eli we assume Eli could get out there and have a good time but I'm assuming he's not like a noted good then maybe maybe but Arch this guy's got rhythm exactly oh yeah I mean we remember he's obviously Peyton could get after but Archie the archmaning the most athletic manning we've seen he had a lot more Archie and then he assumed like Peyton and Eli will be able to get him to be able to spend his dad Coupe one of the best wide receivers that his school was ever seen grown up he was the best athlete of the entire family allegedly the way they talk about it so the high hopes and expectations that I think all of us potentially put on Arch to start his career was a lot and I think we saw that for him at the beginning and then he obviously grows through that starts playing his best ball late and then last week goes for what 100 touchdowns or whatever the case is so I think we got a great one here Bruin in Austin lucky and thankful to be here and it certainly is hot but guess the way we lock it and then Oklahoma Michigan the other massive noted game of the weekend it's like what is Michigan man like what like what is a Michigan man and what is Michigan's cheeks I mean there's like multiple questions Conman says cheeks there's a lot of people that are saying that obviously not ranked in Oklahoma with mature back is this the Oklahoma that we thought they were gonna be last year when they could maybe win a high man and a national championship and go and run for the Boomer folks this could be a big telling weekend for both of their squads obviously West Virginia is going to do their and handle their business Texas A&M got Dillingham coming in there Alabama UK will Stein had to back off you know Sam bring bring illegal booze into the state he had to back off that a little bit hey listen you got a flask you you stick it in between your legs hey they're scared to check that so if you want to bring in some extra booze bring it in in between your thighs they're not gonna check it is what he came out and said then he had to go out later and say actually we got good alcohol at stays and we have good alcohol at stadium actually so do what you guys got to do nonetheless this guy I like his juice I like what he did at Oregon I like the success that they had at Oregon I like the way he's come out and he was asked like why do you think Kentucky's gonna win now as opposed to before he's like me man I think I'm gonna be the reason and that's why he took the job anybody that has that amount of confidence I respect and anybody that's coming out saying hey stay some booze in this place okay let's do any of this place a little bit okay we need this place turned up a little bit why not Kentucky potentially especially with an Alabama team where who knows what we know about everything they got Tennessee Georgia Tech obviously Iowa State Iowa we got the Sihock Bowl let's go to the Toxic Table at Boston Conor and at Tai Schmidt Tai Iowa State about to run rough shot on Iowa here early in the season Sihock Bowl is this normally when this happens yeah it is usually either week two or week three before conference place starts and boy I can't see it you know you pick Southeast Missouri State or Southeast Missouri whoever it was you know whatever direction it was last week as your super dog because like you mentioned about a hundred guys transferred out of Iowa State when Matt Campbell left they all went to state college they all went to Penn State and they are a shell of what they were last year so boy I'll tell you what it would be very very devastating if Iowa doesn't just blow the doors off them but again is the night game at Kenic Iowa looked very very impressive last week so I'm expecting more the same did you see what Miami did last night AJ yeah they won by a couple right yeah games kind of out of hands they won by 70 hey one by five by 70 fourth quarter was 10 minutes long is that correct yeah the coaches agreed we don't need to do the whole song in dance 15 let's drop the thing down to 10 they can't do a moving clock or running clock like you can in like a P.W. football but you could certainly subit down to 10 minutes so we can kind of blame drain the bleeding out I think it fours and fives in for Miami they're still having success obviously there was a turnover for Famu that gets a pretty good little run and a score but it was 77 nothing and third and I don't I know the Famu coach wasn't happy afterwards you know there was a little bit of hey what's going on and I could certainly understand that but with the way this modern world is especially with how they're going to talk about Miami schedule whenever it all comes down to it you it sucks that this is the case but this is what you got to do to these types of teams this is what you have to do especially if your schedule isn't considered a super tough one whenever inevitably there's people voting on whether or not you deserve one of the 12 spots in the playoffs now granted Miami could win the ACC they've never done that before Miami could win the ACC because of the most talented team obviously last year they make it to the national championship the ACC is very weird though but having this on the resume is certainly something that sticks out and sucks for Famu but boy if you're a Miami fan you've got to be pretty pumped up about what's possible meant that doesn't seem to miss this guy it seems to hit absolutely everything his odds on the Heisman are obviously plus 480 going into the season it wasn't like that and then two back-to-back games are just going absolutely crazy thrust them into the top of the limelight so to say the U is back I would say yes AJ have you ever been on the receiving end of one of those ever in your life oh boy I don't think I've been I've gotten beat pretty bad at times but I don't think seventy seven to the six that is a lot I mean that's your brothers in the backyard maybe once yeah for sure I got two older brothers I'm sure they beat me up pretty good a few times but that's a tough one on both sides for Miami though like what a it's a no I mean if you if you if you didn't pray if we roll the team out there the Thunder of boys sure we played offense and defense okay okay could it be worse oh yeah do we have D-butt bones playing tackle yeah exactly what I mean could it be worse than seventy seven nothing in third quarter I mean if I think I can yeah really three quarters asking a lot I feel like yeah can we get to have drive yeah seventy five percent of us be throwing up after three plays true no of course that's what I'm saying like if we took in me need it out that'd be some three straight three straight downs and then we can have fun it okay then yeah we'll be all right pin them deep yeah I think what would they be able to get the seventy seven nothing oh man I don't think so if we're taking three knees we're chewing up a decent amount of clock and you're pinning deep I gamble you're responsible right on Miami getting over seventy seven you're responsibly gambling I would be doing against what was the final score that came was the final score the game seventy seven they covered their team total over on the on the fumble six so good on Femoo for that one over under three and a half three and a half sorry I thought it was two and a half yeah might have got because wow Femoo just sailed over their numbers like what happened it was like two and a half percent three and a half whatever it was So if we took a knee drain the play clock every single time and then drain play clock for punt all snap it on one and let's say I have the best pun in game I've ever had not that I would but we pin them back do we kill enough clock that they don't get the 77 seven against us. I don't know though because they're going to score every one every one we're not going to we're going to make everyone play who's covering who exactly who's make up Cooper Barca a man who couldn't cover anybody I'm just saying this is if they chose to kneel it out from the beginning is it a better outcome than what it was I think yeah for sure we the clock they probably had a negative EPA per play on offense for sure geez I'm sorry family don't quit on ball I mean they tackled Malachi three times he had four catches but only one touchdown fill it that's a victory yeah I mean Malachi telling it was on pace for 102 touchdowns after the first quarter against Stanford now against famo dead and men says on pace for 250 thousand yards in a football season I mean I don't want to talk you know because people get really upset whenever we start mentioning schedules this early you know there's some sensitive alumni from different schools that are wondering why we're not bringing up you know the weak schedules across the board like I didn't hear you mention Penn State in the end West Virginia I didn't mention it Miami and that came from Shane Gillis of Notre Dame obviously because we talk about Notre Dame schedule but there is a lot of weak schedules for a lot of teams I could potentially be in the conversation late and it's like a 70 point drumming of a team is it sucks but in modern world you you kind of got to do it it's like you kind of have to do it it's not Miami's fault but it is like kind of something that has to take place in this subjective world of the college football playoff that's how it is I mean if Miami won 28 to nothing don't you think you'd say oh what's wrong with this Miami offense yeah like the voters would too at the end of the season 28 feels like a four-score I mean 28 nothing feels pretty like a pretty good win 77 to seven that at one point what are they thinking of at one point you think they're like all right we're getting a hundred we got it yeah I think they're gonna get a thousand yards of offensive what in one game that is as absurd Chris the ball obviously got the boys playing hard no matter what situation is let's talk about a couple of the storylines here brewing around we already talked about it last hour two a tongue of a loa has an oblique injury he just sat down in the middle of practice yesterday a lot of people didn't know what was going on he was named started his penics is not there yet even though he has come out and said that he was close Reggie Chapman was the one who posted a video saying oh I just watched two go down in a heap of pain that did not look good obviously looked uncomfortable it's an oblique injury anytime you have something in your back they could pop up out of nowhere that man right there Jack Strahan might get some rub this weekend he's a player so the Atlanta Falcons Kevin Stephanski start obviously massive question marks at the most important position Jim Harball has come out and said a lot of things he said that he thinks Justin Herbert's gonna be the greatest professional quarterback in the history he said that's what's possible and then he also he also made this statement about folks and on anything other than the chargers yeah for to answer your question that's that's that's what my mind's at right now yeah it's it's September it's it's time to play our first game and I am I support no cause foreigner domestic other than the greatness of the Los Angeles Chargers complete focus on on this game Sunday so he was asked by somebody like hey you want to go help out here help out here he goes I I'm thankful they're doing that but I support no cause how did he come for no domestic other than the greatness of the Los Angeles Chargers I mean I'm gonna start using that as my own so I appreciate Jim doing that anytime we are potentially asked to do something that is off the mission of what we have but he's special if him and McDaniel have a good season I am praying to God that we have microphones around them all the time AJ they have to do you think their social media team is gonna be doing like every game the every game they both should be miked up with cameras isolated on each guy for sure you have to well Justin Herbert has a chance to have maybe the biggest breakout year of his life and obviously he's in love he's doing commercials I saw him acting yeah pretty good he looks good he had glasses on at one point I thought that was awesome I like the way Justin Herbert's maybe opening up but the fact of McDaniel sees what Shanahan just did with this use check motion I mean let's assume McDaniel has some sort of trick up his leave for this Chargers offense as well should be fun to kind of look at speaking of fun Aaron Rogers talked to cam hey were you here about this AJ yeah I thought he there's some some notable clips came out of that like what what people fornicating with other people for more situation I don't know just a lot of different sides you know Aaron is a unique creative human you're around for all those moments I think I'm not all not all I don't know if you were there for the exact statement of hey I need to go okay before we say no more to anybody else I need to go ahead and do this I don't know if you're in there but you know he did talk a little bit about the floor you know and the floor's comment about Jordan love and obviously that wasn't with cam heyward but whenever he was talking about it he said who's wild and touched are those yeah yeah will be will you in Towsh yeah there in Towsh Mark Towsh woody in Towsh their their Packers legends I assume you will these a writer media guy that's been there forever and Mark Towshers unbelievable legendary tackle for the Green Bay Packers I love that here's what Aaron had to say about the floor's comments about Jordan love being the best quarterback he's ever coached at the Lonyskrimmage he's probably still mad I changed too many of his place a big statement when he had a guy went back the back MVP see you guess I wasn't doing too much at the at the L.O.S. Matt's clown Matt said he said some time the time of the funny then he like well maybe I shouldn't have said that like he's back up his quarterback yeah I'm sure Jay loves real good land scrimmage but come on a clown Ty Schmidt owner of the Packers how do you feel about form a quarterback on your current head coach a clown in an interview with will be in touch yeah I love it that's just vintage rod right there you can see just completely unbothered by it does not care what I mean and him and Jordan love still have a really good relationship and I think he understands like that you know the floor was just going to bat for Jordan love but when you can when that's all you have to say you know it's that is a crazy thing to say when you had a guy went back to back MVP's and he is arguably want to you know amount rush more quarterback one of the greatest of all time so yeah I got a good chuckle out of that especially when he called him a clown and then kind of just threw it away like yeah you can say that but you're wrong you know you're wrong even though Jordan love is a very good player and you know we he expects him to have a good year but we're talking about Raj here I mean this guy you know he's gonna have his number retired as a Packer yeah he's gonna have his number retired as a Packer he's gonna be a first-ball at Hall of Famer we think yeah obviously it sounds like he cam Hayward and the boys are very tight over there in Pittsburgh they're talking about everything together I mean I like that like that a lot let's pivot off the NFL and let's go to a man who's a trailblazer a ground breaker a man who has a massive weekend of head he is the president obviously in CEO of UFC but also the head is Zufa boxing we got chance to talk to both guys they're gonna be may event this weekend on paramount plus and Garcia and Ben I tell you what two contrasting styles as these guys one guy handsome Squidward looking ahead is gonna have to see if he can hold up against that super quick Brian Garcia and then UFC Noche also happening this weekend a man is all over the place but he's figuring it all out we appreciate him for that laser diamond Dana White what's up boys you see it happened watching Garcia on the internet do this to influencers you've seen a two-pronged bang hit him right in the back boom boom can tell me a little bit about Zufa getting his fight this early into your guys is promotion and what you can kind of expect out of a tomorrow night's fight on paramount plus yeah we pulled this thing off it's you know it's got that big fight vibe in Vegas right now Vegas is buzzing on Saturday have two fights I start in Arizona from Noche UFC and then I fly to the to the Ben Garcia fight both shows but all guys have made weight you know the big the big question going into this fight was could Ben make the weight was it gonna affect him in the fight Ben from what I hear has been going to bed the last three or four days at 149 pounds and you waited today at 145.5 so here we go all the talk is done everybody's made weight today we'll do the face-offs and time to fight I didn't even think about you shit in your pants every way and you know there's there's yeah you look at us Dale come on come on because there's obviously the conversation that we've seen behind the scenes of you in Cormier after John Jones failed the test and Cormier is breaking down crying there's a lot on these guys to show up prepared and ready and be able to fight managing a fight in Arizona with Noche I I love you do this on Mexican Independence Day I like that this is becoming a thing for you obviously your respect for the Mexican culture and in combat sports is gigantic handling everything happening with Noche and everything happening with Zufa are you I don't want to say on top of it all but are you involved in all this or how do you do your goals is that you have C team also Zufa team like how do you kind of buy in to all the different stuff you have happening rigs and hats and you know I have people on the plane with me coming back with for Ben Garcia, um, yeah, it's, it's, uh, my team is just incredible. There isn't anything we can't pull off from the sphere to the White House to two fights on the same night in two different cities. I like trying to keep pushing to see how much how much can these guys take and how much can we really do. But yes, it's a sweater leading up you know all these fighters have to do press. We had a press conference yesterday then everybody has to weigh in, be ready and it's just this week could not have gone any smoother than it did. So it's been perfect. Congratulations, it's going to continue that way. Go ahead AJ. Dana, we see clips of you obviously for years and years at these press conferences sometimes getting in between the face off situation. I guess how is that evolved over time? What is it like being in there? Do you in a real volatile situation when you're staying there to put even fighters on either side and you know you're going to face them off? Like is there real beef a lot of times and how do you handle that? What do you feel and mentally when you're up there? Yeah, so what happens is you know the job basically is you can't let these guys touch each other because once somebody touches somebody and something happens, that guy feels disrespected. Now the next time we get them together, he's been thinking about you know for 24 or 48 hours how he's going to get him back and just everybody thinks that I love that stuff. It's the exact opposite. I have security guys up there too because then what happens is it starts to break out with the camps and the athletic commissions frown on it very much so we don't need any of that bullshit. But you know I've been doing it long enough we know so yesterday I don't know if you saw this online but before the face off Ryan Garcia had two eggs in his pocket. My security team saw it and he came up to me before he says he's got two eggs in his pocket. What do you want me to do? I said have them give you the eggs get the eggs out of his pocket. We don't need him hitting Connor bed with an egg and then I have a face off again today with these two and you know what's Connie bringing a show up with you know. Okay so hold on to his two eggs in his pocket. We obviously don't know if he's looking to throw the eggs or splash them on his head. Oh my god you guys catching him. Yes I love it. First of all love the Garcia is trying to sneak some eggs into this thing. You know get this thing a little active and get a little action. Love that you guys caught it because how experienced you are in the fight game. Last question from me before the boys have a couple back there in the Thunder Dome boxing. You're still relatively new to it. Okay tell me a little bit about your feel right now and what the journey is ahead for Zufa because there's guys back in the Thunder Dome. Zufa boxing fans. I love the big fights never really got into boxing. Zufa boxing is going to be my promotion. I'm going to follow you guys. Great merch too. I got a hoodie. Got a shirt. Let's do it. But what does the road look like for you guys going ahead with Zufa? What is a realistic road in success story for Zufa? As you see right now because I know you got a lot of people that aren't happy with you guys right now in the boxing world. That means you're doing the right thing. So you know we're eight months into this thing and you know we've we've done. We can do canelo Crawford type fights, Ben Garcia type fights, Giopataya fights and everything in between you know from the bottom up we can do contender saw fights you know and basically my goal over the next few and right now I feel like I'm two years ahead of where I thought I would be eight months in and we're just going to continue continue to do what we do put our head down keep grinding putting on the best possible fights that we can with the best fighting the best you know in three four or five years when you pop your head up you're like holy shit look at the business we've built over the last several years that's what we do trust the process you've obviously done great things with everything you have touched us for excited to see what Zufa becomes will obviously right alongside you tone digs has a question for you Dana yeah Dana kind of speaking alongside of that like did building the UFC from the ground up and obviously kind of having that model does that help with what you're doing with Zufa now because you kind of have the baseline on like okay this is how we did it this is what worked or is there is there major differences in boxing and UFC that kind of make it a little bit different as far as building the business well there's a couple different ways to explain that so everything that I did when I built the UFC was based on all the things that I loved about boxing and all the things that I hated about boxing and look how it worked for the UFC so imagine how it's gonna work for boxing and not only that if if you look at what how I built power slash and the massive numbers that it pulls the sponsorship that it does and the the revenue that it generates I mean imagine three four years in the sport of boxing hey that's power slap stuff you are such a firm believer in that early I think a lot of us were like Dana everything I said I think a lot of us were saying just why you know like what why why is this the thing and then what you built those into live event wise and like ticket and then watching and then obviously the numbers on the internet and you taking advantage of it becoming a digital sport as opposed to a linear sport it's like I like the way you kind of stick and move but you know everybody said Dana except the potatoes I said hey I have an idea again and they're like how much money do you need that's a good friend to have and I certainly think you've done well for them in the past so I think they when you showed up in their basement or whatever and said ultimate fighting championship I got a good idea for this you guys need to spend one million or whatever it was it's an American success story that's beautiful let's continue to talk about American success stories you know you talk about next big fight maybe we'll announce it will announce it then there's been some rumors Boston Conor has a question for you Dana yeah Dana speaking of those rumors you know of course the fight at the White House was incredible the sphere was incredible you always innovate kind of looking for that next thing Mount Rushmore has kind of been thrown out there conversated about as a location you know I'd like to throw in the ring maybe the Pentagon at the center of the Pentagon that'd be pretty cool I don't know where else maybe you're thinking what is kind of that process right now and where are your sights set on as far as the next big you know a vent for the UFC in that hill see that's what drives me crazy about when when you do like a podcast or something like that you know the rumor is now that I'm doing Mount Rushmore so I'm doing this interview with this kid and he says you know I was thinking that you probably would do it at Mount Rushmore next and I just laughed and said you know but I didn't say that the kid did it's it's definitely not and when people ask me like yes I did a ton of media yesterday and everybody's like so if this guy fights this guy will this be the next fight I'm like I'm not even going to answer that because no matter what I say I'll wake up tomorrow and there'll be 250,000 little shit ball Instagram you know fucking that'll be saying data white said that this guy's fighting that guy no I didn't say that no it is not going to be Mount Rushmore actually cocky Craig Borsari just landed last night he was he's been on on the site where I want to do it for four days checking out the possibilities of getting this done so hopefully and the next couple of weeks I can break I can break it on on the magazine show okay well we can't wait for that we can't wait for tomorrow obviously you got UFC no Che in Arizona you got Zufa Garcia Ben in Vegas tomorrow night obviously you have contributed so much to sports and to your fans we can't thank you enough for joining us Dana have a phenomenal weekend and remember this the whole thing is on the same platform no pay-per-view whatever you paid your subscription for Paramount Plus is the cost of the entire night I think the way hey genius I think hey Dana I think the way they're like clipping and posting the videos I think it's becoming a really good platform for you guys I assume you've learned from the other platforms that you guys have stopped at or the other streaming places to make this the absolute best stop for you because the evolution of where you're putting your shit at obviously you're a TKO now WWE way back they start the WWE Network subscription base everybody says Vince is an idiot you're gonna kill it then everybody kind of chases that model then he starts taking the network to other places peacock as it the new you've gone obviously licensing through different place Paramount feels like they're building the platform alongside you is that is that a good way to kind of describe what's happening with you and Paramount I've been in business with these guys for like eight months they're incredible Paramount and the CBS guys are absolutely credible what we've done in eight months is unbelievable I can't wait to see you know at the end of this seven-year deal what we do together it's it's been phenomenal and if you think about all the paywalls that I've been behind for 25 years I am no longer behind imagine how big this port's gonna be in the next several years and not just you up see but boxing too you're the man and yes pan you get on you get on you could not be more than you're the man lays the German that's Dana why that's a big weekend for you weekend for me they were telling us like hey Dana will fly down to Austin come to your show down there then he's gonna fly Arizona they're gonna ask Vegas I was like he don't need to do that right you don't need to do that like no he will though he won't let you know that he will fly down there to chat with you and just pop over to Arizona I'm like we're good would he just tell him to save himself like he's okay he's gonna have quite a busy day tomorrow but I do think what they are trying to accomplish in a combat sports world is in their eyes the intentions I think are pure we want to find the best fighters the best fighters there's always gonna be a lot of detractors though boy especially in boxing road they got loud Bruce you know a little bit better obviously the boxing world you become a Zufa mark there's a lot of people that hate them in the boxing world isn't that accurate yeah like other promoters and stuff but like Dana said usually these would be like 85 bucks each and you'd have to buy both of them to watch both of these fights and they'd probably be on at the exact same time but now Noche is leading in to Garcia Ben and you get him both right there on Paramount Plus so for boxing fans and fighting fans it's really all gravy it's the other promoters that are that are you know getting pissed off at Uncle Dana for it all. Yeah and Dana said if they're not pissed off or not there's some right in boy. I hope that's true. There's a lot of mad people all the time and everything I do.

Do you see how cool my sunglasses are? Yeah. No I think it's a great hoodie too and 110 degree weather. Yeah what's going on here? You're wearing a hoodie? Were you just outside? Yeah. What's going on? I don't know. It's weird. I go I go hoodies lightweight hoodies in the heat. It helps block out the sun. I like it. It's on the back. Yeah, blocks out the sun. No sunburns. Yeah. How the lads doing? How the lads were impressed? How got a hoodie on? How's AJ doing running point? Is he good? Like stocked him, bro. Feel good over here Kirk. How are you doing? At a bay? Good man. I know I know you always handle business there. How you feeling about this weekend down here in Austin? Well that's funny you ask. I'm going to ask you about that. I want to see how you feel. I feel pretty good man. I love joy in saying that the experience he got last year in this game I know it's at home versus away and all that but I think that that's going to go a long way and I hope they me and Pat talked about it earlier. Take the training wheels off and let this guy just go out there and let it fly and go make some plays. Yeah. What a difference a year makes with really all these guys with are we over here? Yeah, there's a lot. We got this. You can stay right there. Do that left tackle block. No, I think I'm with you. I think it's it's amazing. The difference one year makes for both the quarterbacks. I mean last year Ohio State was very very careful with with Jules at this point is his first career start you know and that kind of atmosphere. And Archmanning had the weight of the world. Weight of the world. You know guys like Pat are talking about he's going to win the highest men. He's going to win the national championship. He's going to be better than his uncles and you know I think he personally he had what I would I think we all refer to as like the yips you know he just he just was mentally struggling to deal with all that that hype and almost unrealistic expectations. And now both these guys have an entire year under their belt and I think they both come in and it's a very different thing. And I think with Jules handling this atmosphere this place rocks now before maybe five years and earlier it was just kind of a stadium and now it is a really really loud stadium. So how Ohio State with a new office coordinator and Arthur Smith how they're going to handle that I think will be interesting as well. What do we got here? Yeah we just we turn this one on here we turn this bad boy on here. We turn this bad boy on here. Yeah yeah I've got an headset too so we look the same. Oh okay. Every time we adjust to hear your headset. I love your takes on the quarterback strictly because you obviously Ohio State quarterback former quarterback and you did throw me over the bus there with what I said about Arch but I sent it earlier today on the show too. I was part of the problem. I was certainly part of the problem. I think those big expectations. You just love the manning family like like I mean you're you're in because of because I mean I read the co-tails that I do a lot of great things. Yeah. A lot of people even say maybe television because they're the only reason I'm honest because of paint manning and let me on do a lot of different things but it's true though it's like I think we naturally thought he's more athletic than Eli and Peyton right because I think he's more like his grandfather and his dad. He's not a member of a water see-ra-rooper great a very very athletic but yes Archie obviously with the angst down there was running all over the place. Yeah so I think we had high expectations. Hopefully that he's able to live up to him this year. I think he started out great. He's great Coleman catches everything. Oh man. Tomorrow we got an absolute dog fight down here. Oh my god. Now let's go to Ann Arbor. Yeah. Yeah. He's wearing a blue hoodie AJ. She is. I did see that. Oh huh. She that. Yeah. Well you know he's got some family. He's got some family ties. This is this is LA Rams blue though. Not this isn't. Not a great day to wear out. I can talk to you. It's Kentucky. Kentucky. There you go. By the way they can hang around. They what was that spread. I like that one. I like Kentucky. I like when he was talking about bringing flasks in and then they told him he can't say that. I get boosted in inside stadium. I like the energy he's bringing. I hope the fans quarterbacks real. They got a real quarterback and Will's real offense coordinator. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. They got a Texas running back up there now. CJ Baxter. So and it is it's a night game, right? Is it a night game? I think it's 330. I could be wrong. 330 on ABC. Yeah. We knew that at 330 on ABC. Yeah. It's part of Disney platform. Of course. The ESPN ABC. I think Kentucky can hang around. I think they can hang around within 10. Okay. So you like the 10 and a half days. Yeah. Even Russell. Maybe not able to bury Kentucky and Kentucky. Maybe how you doing this is still an SEC environment. Absolutely. Absolutely. And if Kentucky can take away that running game and put it all on Russell. I'm a huge fan of. I don't know. I think Will Stein's got something going there. I think he's got some juice and I think UK early in the year. I don't think they're going to win the game. I think they're going to hang around more in closer than 10. Okay. Let me break this down to you last night. The Rams get absolutely snapped in Australia. What are your thoughts on that? I'm going to blame it on the travel. You know, the not having their normal week of prep. Not have, you know, both teams had to deal with it. Give credit to the the Niners what they did last night. I mean, they looked about as good as you. By the way, those are two of the best teams in the league. Yeah. I know the Rams are getting all the hype. I still like Seattle. What we were talking about this morning in the game. They meeting just that division alone. How powerful it is. I still think Seattle could be the team to beat. I know everybody's on the Rams because of Aaron Donald, Miles Garrett, and what they're going to be able to do. But it's one beauty of the NFL. Unlike our sport is you lose 30 to seven. You get back home, regroup, get ready, get ready to go next week. And I think they'll be fine. You lose the game in college, though. It's like are we going to make the playoffs? Yeah. A national narrative is created. Blank of an eye. I mean, that's why you got to win 77 to 77 if you're playing. Yeah. On Thursday night in your Miami against FAMU. Yeah. Like it's actually just something that has to happen. It sucks, but it has to happen. Has to happen. Yeah. By the way, you said LSU is going to win by 50. Yeah. 41. I was close. Well, but it was almost a throwaway touchdown for Clemson at the end. I know. Yeah. I think you were just BS in there. I mean, well, filling time for sure. Because you heard the same thing. I heard it was like, hey, we got a minute 40 left. It's like, all right, all right, we will. Yeah. Absolutely. But yeah, I, uh, going into game day, I thought it was going to be very tough for Clemson to keep up with LSU. Yeah. And then whenever I felt the crowd, you know, and that's what everybody talks about. Like, hey, whenever you have these people down here behind you and you're winning, it's a real weapon. And they stuck through that lightning. They didn't know and left. They were told, get the hell out of here. There's lightning coming. We had to go inside LSU officials are telling us they didn't budge. Now these people just stayed out there. Yeah. Then obviously, torrential downpour during the day throughout the, uh, delays of the game. These people were just standing out there. I mean, it was like, if these, if this LSU football team, they stay healthy. If the quarterback stays healthy, uh, I mean, they're going to be fun to watch. A fun to watch. They got an M in three weeks, two, three weeks. They have Texas an M coming down to Tiger Stadium. That would be. And obviously, Ole Miss here in two weeks. Ole Miss? Yeah. I mean, that's obviously the massive game next, next Saturday. But they have Texas an M. It's, it never, that's the beauty of their schedule is every week. As you say, banger. Every week, they're going to be playing in games that you want to watch. Yeah, Louisiana Tech, obviously, is a big one. No. Nice is a huge one. Yeah. Good program. Uh, okay. I didn't know. No, no, no, no. Look at that. I mean, at Kentucky, you just mentioned Kentucky, look at that. At Kentucky's not easy. Mississippi State may have one of the better quarterbacks. No one's talking about. Coach Sabin came in here saying his- Did he say the same to us? Yeah, absolutely. Who are you saying this, President? Auburn? Uh, Alabama. You know, that's what they say about the SEC. Look at that. Look at that. Hey, Ty, I don't know if you're looking at the schedule. This is what the SEC has. Okay, this is what the SEC has down here. Ty, I don't know if you guys know anything about that. Big 10, I feel like has that too. Yeah, they do. Herbie, you know that just as well as the one else does. And the big 10, the big 10 may not have had the most impressive week last week compared to the SEC. SEC went 16 and oh, you know, big 10 went 14 too. But maybe didn't look quite as good. But I'll tell you what, I was ecstatic with how you guys talked about Iowa on Game Day last week. I really was. That was a real joy. And then Iowa went out and they looked very impressive. They beat the ad-lib dog shit out of northern Illinois. 40 to nothing. How do you see any issue this weekend in the rivalry? Well, they're fine. Well, that's what I want to ask you. I would assume so, but this game, you know, I mean, you never know. This is a real rivalry game. You know, and I assume no one thinks that Iowa State can win with how many guys they've lost. But it is very tough to play at Kinnec at night. But after watching them last week and then you know based on what they do tomorrow like how close do you think Iowa is to potentially be in like a fringe playoff team do you think they're in that kind of next crust of the big ten of teams who really could you know maybe potentially be a playoff team I feel like they are every year but I just I've always I always look at Iowa with Kirk Farens as a team that is always knocking on that ten win mark I mean they I think they've averaged nine wins over the last I don't know how many years I don't think they get credit to be honest with you time because of the style of ball that they play you know Phil Parker is as good as there is as a defensive coordinator if we you and I asked anybody outside of that region tell me about Iowa's defensive coordinator I don't know if a lot of people do you ever hear Phil Parker talked about on a national level never no should he be yes but I think because of the style ball that they play they don't they don't necessarily win sexy they don't outscore people they they hit you with a rubber hose you know they just beat you down and it's to me it's effective and it comes down to the quarterback play can they play with the big boys can they can they kind of get into and I don't look let's get in I don't know we have their schedule if you can put their schedule up on the board I'd love to take a peek at what they have coming up because you know they're gonna get to that nine ten win mark and you know which to me gets them in the discussion but what are they gonna do when it comes to those top teams in the big 10 let's take a peek they have that look look that three-week stretch of Michigan Ohio State Washington and it's you know personally I think if they can go two and one in that stretch that they they do have a legitimate chance even one and two oh boy if you go two and one um you know I and and at Michigan at Washington they got Minnesota I know that's on the road in a rivalry game Wisconsin you're right if you get to two and one there's a really good opportunity there for them to to make a run there because you know who's going to beat them tell me who's going to beat them after they get through that three-week stretch per go prana is got a team probably not maybe Hank Brown Illinois have you have you settled on that quarterback yeah it seems like they're but no I want Hank Brown I want Hank Brown I listen I wanted to raise heck all-off season and then I just didn't see enough and the quarterback doesn't matter I think they have one of the best offensive lines in the country like and so we every year need a guy who's just not going to turn the ball over and yeah he didn't he let him on three consecutive touchdown drives in his first three possession so you know let just stay with him just don't look by Iowa State I hate right dreams when it when it's like oh they don't have any chance you know how that goes yeah get get by this sneaky one and then get on a run yeah speaking of going on a run I'm about to pick a perfect slate oh yeah let's go I've decided dumpy is that what we were talking about last night let's just go ahead and be perfect out here first one got to have it yeah well I already got it wrong last night with the ribs so that doesn't count because it was in Australia yeah well it's its own international get some count yeah and miles Garrett can't play football for shit outside of America yeah there you go we found that out tonight you staffer a little bit different to correct you're gonna join us for these picks yeah let's do it don't feel obligated to make a pick but if you would like to help us for sure and if you want to make a pick I'll help you I'll help you okay Saints Lions Lions favored by seven at home can I tell you what are my immediate thoughts on yeah give me the Saints plus seven going to Detroit AJ who do you know I mean my immediate thoughts are the exact same as you give me a tower shut in the Saints plus seven on the road do you like that herbie or do you hate that I feel like Detroit coming off a disappointing year they want to make a statement early and I know New Orleans is improved but I I like Detroit there I think they're gonna be all right Foxy how do you feel about me and AJ immediately going against the MCDC Lions to start this entire thing off yeah I'll tell you what I actually don't hate the Saints covering seven points here couldn't you guys see this being a really high-scoring game the Lions uh secondary is absolutely torch right now and we're just gonna throw for a million yards in this one and then the Saints kind of backdoor cover that seven points that's how I see this one going Lions win though yeah I like the Lions get a dog give me the Saints plus seven and AJ I like the way we're starting to season but don't we would have expected us to do that right there first one Baltimore Ravens traveling into the Lothouse okay welcome to the NFL is a head coach Jesse Minter you got the internet police come on what you laughing for what you laughing for what's your problem that's not how this should go that's not loud huh I know I know yeah colds blue on I you're right but I'm going Baltimore here what that all about we didn't ask you not blue what is it we love them yeah this is our team this is our cold yep we believe blue he had to produce a key club a glee club the uh yeah varsity varsity glee club not Jay the varsity and I like that a little bit of remix there I like what he's doing the flow is obviously throwing heat here to start the season you like the Ravens you like Lamar Jackson like Jesse Minter I'll have you know have you seen what Shane Stuykin has done against Jesse Minter's defense before did you look that one up I did not look that up oh uh drumming 38 points last year absolutely drumming now Lamar Jackson does scare the shite out of me out of everybody but in the Lothouse colds getting three and a half to start this thing Jonathan Taylor back with a new deal Danny Dimes back with a new deal Alec Pierce back with a new deal sauce Gardner back County I'll take the newapolis coats plus three and a half at home AJ your thoughts you're going to ride alongside current uh centerville elk hater I'll tell you what when when this first uh this first popped up I was all on board with the coats and the more you talked about it maybe realize I'm taking the Baltimore Ravens might three and a half on the wow wow I got to trust my instincts on this one okay Chicago Bears taking on the Carolina Panthers Carolina Panthers good football team yeah that gets forgotten about their good game last year yeah it had a home playoff game last year filled that place up sold that place out we obviously love Charlotte we like Carolina Panthers they're getting three at home let's head to the toxic table Connor your thoughts on Panthers getting three and Ty you can obviously chime in as well it just feels like we've been talking about Panthers being a good football team for a couple years now taking steps now they're going to be a great football team this season I kind of think they might be like with Ted McMillan second year Jalen Coker he's nothing to sneeze that on the other side Chuba Hubbard reasonably healthy I don't know about Jonathan Brooks I think their online is a little banged up but they also have a good defense and I believe in Dan Morgan and his boys now Caleb and the Bears and Ben Johnson people love him I've seen Caleb be in an MVP pick by a lot of people and Ben Johnson's gonna have him ready to go so this one's tough but three's been a pretty good number as far as the underdog goes you know three and a half for the nine years last night they cover that Pats push at three so plus three at home to open the season I kind of like Caroline and I hate that I do yeah I sneaky love Carolina as well as a home dog but I don't know how much of that is just me hoping that the Bears lose as well so that's kind of clouding my judgment a little bit so you know I'm gonna stay away but I do kind of love the Carolina Panthers here because like you said they are a good football team Harvey push comes to shove right now Bears favored by three and Carolina I wonder if Caroline is gonna be able to score with Caleb that you know that's what that's the one thing I I have more confidence in an opening week by the way September football is sometimes tough to watch because of you know I think because of what we see in preseason football so I think it's a continuation these first four weeks of NFL football I'm gonna go with Ben Johnson and I think they're gonna get to cover on the road to open it up cover the three okay one o'clock in Carolina home opener I like the bear I'm a believer in the Bears Ben Johnson said he wants to be the high scoring offense in the history of ball AJ who do you like AJ I like Carolina here I like Carolina to probably win this one outright but give me Carolina plus three okay that's a pack of it's all the time leading pack yeah dumpy your thoughts I'm a surfer Bryce young damn organ jargon cell system water all day long yeah surfer forgot about surfer basketball give me the Carolina Panthers so I'm on it okay yeah I'm on it island I'm gonna remember that I'm thinking Panthers plus three is what I'm taking I'm taking a plus three I'm not saying AJ said they could win I'm taking them plus three I like the Bears I'm still a fan of the Bears Buffalo Beals traveling down to Houston Josh Allen Owen four I believe against Houston Texas obviously Demiko Ryan's defense is outrageous he had given up 14 sacks 53 percent completion percentage nine 30 in 2024 at 41.5 QBR lowest that any venue he's ever played multiple games at Houston obviously very loud Demiko's defense is outrageous Josh Allen with Joe Brady is he trying to prove a point AJ who do you like how do you like it I want to pick the Texans here but I just can't do it I gotta take the Buffalo Beals on the road Josh Allen I think this I love this Houston Texans defense I'm not sure they're all fans will be in their final form yet so give me the bills are be who do you like I want the bills to win because I have them the next week opening up their new stadium against a lion so I'm gonna I'm gonna go with just polling for the bills here okay and I'll take the AMC South give me the Houston Texans it I don't like it you don't like I'll take the bills I'll take the bills bigger may yeah oh and for the has to be one right gets back right yeah this will be the one this will be

Tampa Bay Buccaneer Cincinnati Bangles bangles favor by three and a half at home used to be a season ticket holder Tampa Bay obviously Baker Mayfield gets paid Vita Vega gets paid obviously have some departures Mike Evans is now San Francisco 49er touchdown score who do you like how do you like it herbie when you look at this one I don't think the bangles are allowed to win in the month of September it's got a new rule NFL just came out with that the last few years so I'm definitely going with Tampa Bay okay Tampa Bay plus three and a half in Cincinnati AJ you're rolling with herbie no it's a new time in Cincinnati give me the Cincinnati Bangles minus three and a half two minutes he played for that's the deal you heard you see Joe it's like this yes I'll think Tampa Bay Buccaneers plus three and a half Cleveland Browns Jacksonville Jaguars Jags favored by eight and a half at home the Sean Watson obviously starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns you know the Jags okay Jags my why you jumped quick at that over under 39 and a half and spread his eight and a half wow it's going to be hot too 31 3 oh my gosh it's going to be hot who do you like herbie I'm going with the Jags I I'm going to the Jags are going to win but it's going to be closer in eight and a half okay I'm making it officially taking the Browns okay you got the Cleveland Browns plus eight and a half I don't mind that actually I'll take the Jagsville Jaguars minus eight and a half Falcon Steelers Steelers we keep in track all yeah okay oh yeah all year oh yeah this is this is one of our only real segments we do this every single Friday people watch this you're equal segment people watch this I have no idea why but people watch this every single week it's one of our highest few things did they cuss you out after you oh yeah that's the fun part on the back yeah first couple weeks we kind of give a lot of excuses we don't know what the themes are okay Atlanta Falcons we don't know in their quarterback that's real Cooper Cushers lead them into Pittsburgh Pittsburgh favored by five and a half I'll take Pittsburgh AJ who do you have up to six oh what's taking a five and a half though because that's what the graphic is we would take it a six though as well yeah give me B.
