PMS 2.0 1626 - Thursday Night Football Preview, Kirk Herbstreit, Morgan Freeman, Pete Thamel, Coach Chuck Pagano, & AJ Hawk
179m 34s
The broadcast highlights the debut of the Buffalo Bills at their new High Mark Stadium, a groundbreaking venue designed with cutting-edge technology and fan experience in mind. The stadium’s vertical structure, wind mitigation system, and striking visual design create a vibrant, immersive atmosphere, with fans especially thrilled by the outdoor presence of a real baby bison named Baby Bruce, who will be part of the game-day festivities. The matchup between the Bills and the Detroit Lions is expected to be a high-scoring shootout, fueled by both teams’ aggressive offenses and a lack of full offseason preparation, leading to potential defensive lapses. Analysts note that the absence of traditional preseason training has left teams unprepared, with players not in peak physical condition, increasing the likelihood of big plays and high point totals. The broadcast also features a special college football segment in Oxford, Mississippi, where the return of Lane Kiffin to Ole Miss is generating massive excitement, and Morgan Freeman is announced as a celebrity guest picker, adding a unique and emotional touch to the game. The segment underscores the deep connection between fans and their institutions, emphasizing the cultural significance of college and professional football. Meanwhile, the broadcast acknowledges ongoing concerns about player health, such as Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow’s reported injury, though it remains hopeful about his return. Overall, the event celebrates innovation, community, and the excitement of football at both the NFL and college levels.
Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble the boat the draft King's Thunderdome on this football kickoff Thursday September 17th, 2016 Sports program begins now football is obviously spectacular and we're so pumped that another weekend of football is about to kick off this evening both in college and in the NFL we have a debut of a brand new stadium that broke ground 1200 days ago and is going to be showcased to the world the brand new that was yesterday's video so it's had 1,199 days we think today would be 1200 but did they mean to put today's video out yesterday potentially whatever the case about 1200 days ago they broke ground on a brand new high mark stadium caddy corner to one of the most legendary stadiums in the history of ball we've seen it kind of grow in front of our eyes and tonight it glows on prime time on Amazon now we are so incredibly thankful and lucky that we were asked if we wanted to come up and do our show there today now it is an Amazon game so obviously there was a lot of conversations that had to take place and what we decided was the man who's going to be on the call this evening a man who is the face of college football and college game day for like the last thirty years that face somehow as a quite from Ohio has not aged one bit blue eyes former president of Ohio former quarterback at Ohio state obviously alongside Al Michaels he's in the booth for what I believe was about to be the fifth year on Thursday night football live from the brand new beautiful high mark stadium laser gentleman Kirk Herb she is how you doing that was how we doing man what a what a scene in here are you kidding me okay tell me this is this is this is stunning I mean been in a lot of these new stadiums this is is stunning of a new stadium that I've seen since I've been calling these games on the NFL my fifth year and you know you hear about it you wonder if it's worse some of the hype and then you get a chance to walk in here look I mean even the seats you know the way they mixed in their colors within the seats 60,000 seats a canopy over top that covers 60% of of the stands how about this wind mitigation 50% of what is going on outside 50% in here so if it's 40 mile an hour winds it'd be 20 mile an hour inside the stadium so kind of the other the other thing that's interesting they told me about this because it kind of goes up straight vertically and they said it's like a basketball arena deal inside once you get in here but it's a football stadium so the way they did this the way they built this is about is cutting edge and I've never seen anything usually you come into these stadiums you guys know it's like a bowl I don't know how Lucas oil is but it's you know goes out and here it is straight up and down and which means there's not a bad seat in the house so it is it's stunning you can't really see but they've got the retired numbers right across from me got Jim Kelly Ralph Wilson of course Bruce Smith Thurmond Thomas up at the top of the press box they've got all these names all the famers that are in gold so really thought of every single detail fired up man for this game tonight what better way to get Detroit Lions and Dan Campbell Jiren Golf coming in here against the Buffalo Bills both these teams obviously have postseason aspirations so I couldn't think of a better way to get for us prime our prime schedule started on Thursday night but for the Bills their fans are already outside it's got a kind of a college football atmosphere as we pulled up outside of the stadium it's got everybody's tailgating the smokers are going I mean these guys are Bills Mafia is fired up for obvious reasons they're fired anytime their team plays but they're anxious to get in and check out their new stadium yeah brand new home for Bills Mafia we obviously can't wait to see them put on a show on Amazon this evening and what you are talking about that stadium it's kind of like Seattle that's built for noise there you know that that is built for noise that is because in Seattle it's like very evident I'd only been there one time with you but I got a chance to sit right in the middle one yell is like three yells because that thing's echoing back and forth it's literally built to be a chamber of chaos and noise sounds like they did the same thing up there excited for Bills Mafia to put on a show it looks beautiful I liked that they kept it open because all any of us were thinking as we're watching videos of this is they're way for there to be a little snow on a ground yeah up there in Buffalo grass turf which I know the lads like a lot I and I think they even have a baseball outfield mindset every five yards kind of cut differently so it's okay you know the grounds keeper kind of did their thing on the brand new grass and then we have one big question before we get to a massive announcement about this Saturday's experience down in Oxford did you see the bison outside and what is the what is the ruling on if they're big enough bison that the Buffalo people should be proud of holy cow whoa big bison look they're big they are massive I mean you got the two on the yeah outside obviously the one up to our left is I mean as big as it can be you got the little I guess a little calf or a little bold it's that's that's not that big but there's probably mom right there I'm pointing up to but I gave you you know as high as I can reach which is probably I don't know about eight eight eight three inches so gives you an idea of how big how big that is but yeah they they look great man they're they're massive okay so you have a eight foot three reach I like to know exactly he's got a lumbering lad yeah he and I did tell him yesterday I said listen we're gonna have to see those bison and how big they are so if you can showcase that we appreciate that tie on the camera here obviously picking up good content we appreciate you going over there and visiting that and I like that you measured your hand too I like you said how about how tall am I just so the boys can really see that's a massive bison there oh yeah the big one there on the left or her bees right wow I'm happy they did that yeah that is a that is a herd of of bison you can be happy about there a little family a bison that are about to grow in front of all of our eyes and then I heard there's an actual real baby bison let's go to the toxic table at Boston Connor at Thai Schmidt Conman I heard there's a real baby bison they're calling baby Bruce out there is there a chance that this baby bison was maybe orphaned due to the loss of his mother and now there's a chance that Bill's mafia becomes baby Bruce's mom or maybe even Peter becomes baby Bruce bison's mom what is the story about all the the actual bison that are taking play this evening yeah literally baby Bruce who is the newest bison of bills mafia bills mafia kind of a joint ownership joint parenthood over baby Bruce even the bills players themselves could be considered parents of baby Bruce but yes here we displayed yesterday the little cage a little enclosure that baby Bruce will be an outside of the stadium that is baby Bruce I expect baby Bruce to maybe lead the boys out tonight maybe be a part of the entire team on the sideline and then also those bison will be lit up tonight we need to know that to the eyes the smoke coming out of those will be I could find that out I can find that out if you want me to hey Todd is the baby bison coming to the game like Ralphie he's gonna be out in that little like and you can't what when will you get there about okay baby Bruce baby he's gonna be in the pen like you said Connor he's not he's not coming on to the field let's talk about what we want and what they've got it right thus far you talked about the light up in the smoke coming out of the bison's nose I think it's going to be a spectacular electrifying environment good for them getting a brand new stadium shout out our entire community deciding to get a brand new stadium it obviously takes a lot of buy-in it takes a lot of agreement to make that happen and we think NFL teams bring to communities something that nothing else can so shout out to them celebrate in life tonight maybe the Buffalo Bills win a Super Bowl now what we do know or we do hope at least is that there's gonna be a shite ton of points tonight yeah okay both teams come and fresh off a 30 point games offenses look good defenses haven't looked that great maybe there's a big jump from week one to week two though we shall see how tonight goes we're pulling four points let's go to one half of the hammer down Cowboys AP tone 54 and a half over and under people are thinking a lot of points here in the last time these two met there was a points galore is that accurate yeah the so 54 and a half is a for those that don't know is a huge total in the NFL your standard NFL total normally around eight were from 42 to 47 somewhere around there so 54 touched down more or fit a touchdown more than the highest normally see the next highest this week is around 50 that's commanders and Cowboys so we'll see but there's any time you see the bills on prime time the lions on prime time you think about these two times two teams you think about points points point I'd be shocked if we didn't see that tonight okay and ladies and gentlemen joining us as a man who is coach for 37 years of football 18 college 19 the NFL last year was the 19th year coaching in the NFL he scratched that it's dead and then he turned out I don't want that it's never gonna happen basic and I'm in our coach coach for going I'm going coach go to see do we think there's gonna be a jump in defense from week one to week two defense it did not look great a lot of time over so so maybe they were aggressive and getting the ball out but there was a lot of points scored almost at a historic rate yeah hopefully and I know Jimmy Leonard up there and and Kelvin Shepard the two defensive
coordinators that are calling the defensive plays for these two teams tonight. Yeah, it was outrageous. And usually defenses are ahead, excuse me, defenses are ahead of offences. But I just think in Herbie would attest to this probably and everybody else on this panel, like with no tackling, no live coverage, joint practice, nobody's playing in the preseason anymore, like we're rolling, we're tackling dummies, they don't move, we got these doughnuts that were rolling around on the grass field. And guys getting a back pedal, and they break foot, drive foot, and they drive and they tackle this doughnut, right? Well, as we came to find out, like James Cook tonight, Jameer Gibbs, Kenneth Walker, Kansas City, these guys put a foot in the ground and go to the other direction, right? So I just think the lack of reps, a lack of practice, time, a lack of full speed, like playing football, we saw that show up big time. Hopefully there's a big jump in improvement this week. Well, I'm hoping not, 'cause we're pulling for points. Yeah, good luck to your defense. It will matter. Good luck to your defense, we are hoping for that. I'd like to hear that. We'll dive back into tonight's game in a little bit, Karakurb Street this weekend in Oxford. We're talking about, for me at least, obviously, I've only had the opportunity to be on game day for the final three, or the last three years. This is maybe the most anticipated weekend of regular season ball that I can remember. Obviously have been thinking about this since last year, the end of year, whenever Lane leaves Ole Miss and heads to LSU in the absolute chaos that's surrounded it all, well, now we're here. In college game days, heading to Oxford, Herbie. I know you've been there before, I've never been there before. I'm expecting this place to be absolutely awesome. Is that the expectation of Oxford this weekend and how should we kind of view this? God, yeah, yeah, I mean, it's one of the great spots that we've been lucky enough to go down to. Their fans embrace it, typical SEC atmosphere as far as the tailgating, the height, the grove, which is where college game day will be. It just comes alive. Actually, midnight, it's when they run all the grove is just, it looks like a park, it's just a grass area. And at midnight, these folks that end up going in there to get their tents ready, have these college kids run in and kind of claim their area. And then they set up these tents and then it is a sea of tents. You can't see any grass. Like, it is just every piece of grass is occupied by tents. But again, I've told you, these tailgating, this tailgating thing is it blew me away. I heard about it, but when you see it, you just can't believe it. I mean, they've got like different wings inside their tents where it's like a kid zone over here with candy and soda and whatever. And over here, it's where the adult go with the adult beverages. They have chandeliers, they have ice sculptures around there. I mean, it's, you almost have to see it to believe it. I can't wait to get your tape on it. But they hype in the buildup of lane coming in and back the Oxford. We all, when we saw the schedule, we all thought, oh my god. Lane going back to Oxford is going to be intense. I don't know how many LSU people are willing to come in to this atmosphere. The Oxford people are waiting. But at the end of the day, first of all, it's Levitt playing. I mean, what's going on with him being on the injury report? He's listening to doubtful. We don't know if that's gamesmanship with Lane Kippen. If there's something to it, we're left to speculate. I have no idea what's going on with that. But if he's playing, I think LSU has a very, very talented team. You and I said, after they played Clemson, the way he plays with kind of a reckless style when he takes off and goes, I said on air, it reminded me of Baker Maple and he was in Oklahoma. Is he going to be able to hold up for the whole run throughout the SEC? So hopefully he's healthy. Hopefully he plays. But the scene there and the buildup will be as hyped up as any regular season game all year. - It cannot wait to get down there. And obviously the hype is already naturally built in. The storylines, already in abundance. Let's go ahead and make it even bigger, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to announce a celebrity guest picker for college game day this weekend. And, Herbie, I know you've been doing-- - Oh boy. - Yeah. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a whole different level here. - Yeah, especially because directly tied to school. This man is an honorary alumni of Ole Miss. I believe this man's a lady, a former professor at play from Mississippi, obviously represents in all facets. He's played God. He's played the president. He's played Nelson Mandela. He's played a principal in this weekend. Saturday morning, around noon, Eastern. He'll be playing celebrity guest picker on college game day. It is our honor to introduce and announce Morgan Freeman. (audience cheering and clapping) - Are you kidding me? - Wow. - Morgan, how are you? - Hi, that's quite an introduction. Thank you very much. I'm set up. - Yeah, you certainly are set up. And there's no introduction needed, sir. And anytime you want to say anything on this show, I will just shut up so we can just have that voice kind of, you know, ooze through the folks. You are obviously one of the most grand actors in the history of the industry. Obviously, your voice is synonymous with God. You know, that's a pretty good title. Yep, actually, that's a pretty good title to have. But this weekend, guest picking at Ole Miss hosting LSU. Can you just tell me a little bit about your thoughts whenever you were asked and why you agreed to do it? We are so thankful that you are, sir. - Well, obviously I agreed to do it because I'm tied up with this lady who is that professor at Ole Miss. And we're intimate with what happens there. I have my own feelings about Ole Miss, the football and the basketball. I'm looking forward to being there on Saturday and I'm looking forward to this game. I promise you. - Okay, so obviously love has brought you to Ole Miss, which is a beautiful thing. The love of sport is what is so special we believe about college sports as a whole. We've seen a lot of highlights of you at the Ole Miss basketball games. Obviously this weekend, can you tell me a little bit about what you've learned and experienced as an Ole Miss fan and of the Ole Miss fans that Herbie just described as maybe the best tailgators in the world? - Yeah, I'll put money on that part if they're probably not the best tailgators or most enthusiastic. What have I learned while being involved with them? - Cultures, I'm friend with what some of us out coach named would be adopted after this lady from Ole Miss there. - I'm Miss Lady. - Both coach around. - Coach Wayne, yeah, we became friends and golf partners, so coming to the games was a necessary. I don't live a fair right now, but when I did, I was there, and can I say something off? - Yeah, something there. - You could do whatever you want your Morgan Freeman. That's kind of how it works. - I was looking and listening to you talk about the lines and buffalo and all that stuff with the buffaloes and stuff. I'm thinking what's going to happen. And I'm not making any predictions here, but you got meat eaters and meat. - Come in together. - I'm not in no prediction, I'm just saying. - Hold on, don't you have close ties to Buffalo because Bruce Almighty isn't even eating though? - Yeah, that's the way the cookie crumbles though. I do believe there, I do believe that's how the cookie crumbles. (laughing) - Herb, he has a question for you, God, jeez. - Yeah. - Say it again. - Oh, no, we can't hear him. Sorry, go ahead. - Now we've got you, you're back, you're back. - I'm just saying, what, no, I'm here, I'm here. I've been on this show for 30 years on college game day. I've been a fan of yours for as long as I can remember. This is a high point for our show to have you. So thank you for taking the time to be with us on Saturday. We're really, really thrilled and fired up. You're willing to do that. I want to just ask you, are you a big fan of football? Have you followed football? Are you a fan of a certain team? - What am I trying to say here? (laughing) Oh miss, you love the Ole Miss football team. - Yeah, I mean, for the SEC, of course, if it's not Ole Miss playing, then I'm just watching people who are close to us. Like Auburn, and if it's NFL, we'll probably glued to Kansas City. - Hey, Chris. - Okay. - Great start on Monday, Morgan. Great start on Monday. I had the opportunity, I don't know how well you know the entire chief's story and family. I watched Tom Cruise watch Travis Kelsey have a 57-yard game alongside Taylor Swift in the entire. They were going great. Thank you very much.
like the chiefs are all the way back on Monday. Did you feel the same way, Morgan? Yeah, yeah, maybe you were in the Super Bowl. Maybe you asked him who was the Super Bowl at the College of Game Day as the guest picker. OK, last question here, Morgan, from Coach Pogano. Yeah, Mr. Freeman, this is an honor. You portrayed coaches and great leaders on the big screen. What do you think makes great coach? Makes great leader. What about it? You might take my lead from Madiba. Compassion, I think. Knowledge and compassion, those two things. Knowledge of your game and compassion for your players. I think communication also a massive thing. And you might be regarded as one of the best communicators in the history. Your voice has carried a lot of us through a lot of different times. We appreciate you. And on Saturday, you better get that shit right, Morgan. OK, they're going to be coming after you. All right, Patrick, I'll give it a try. I'll try not to miss that problem. I'm sure you are. Thank you for your service, too, sir. To the United States Air Force. You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. That's Morgan Freeman. Yeah, Morgan. Well, well, well. Kirk, you did it. How about that? How about that Morgan Freeman? What is real for college game day and for all of us? That's going to be great. Actually, Kirk, like this is a crazy thing. Because you know, big time celebrity outside of the sports world coming on game day, always a mixed bag on how it's received. You know, because are they tied to the score? Are they not tied to the score? I think that's the number one question everybody kind of wonders as a game day fan. Like, what is the tie to the school here? Is there a tie to the school? And it's like, he has tied to school. Obviously, Eric, he's in love with, obviously, the school has shown up. I think donated, like I think, is like a part of the Ole Miss culture. Andy's Morgan Freeman. So it's like, this is a home run. Herbie. I just, I would say, again, a guy that's been around watching this celebrity picker. And I understand that sentiment. But there are certain people that fall into a category, even without his lady friend, and he said, and going to the basketball game, even with that, it's Morgan Freeman. You know, whether you're in Oxford, Mississippi, Columbus, Ohio, Los Angeles, California, Eugene, Oregon. You know, if you get a guy like Morgan Freeman, who's willing to come on the show, you get a Brad Pitt who's willing to come on the show. You get guys at that level, like, come on, huh? I mean, we didn't want them to have you on any week. So there is a tie there to Ole Miss. But I can't imagine, I mean, it's Morgan Freeman. Any week, any time, we're grateful. It's this week for such an emotional game between the Rebels and the LSU Tigers. I do kind of like that the voice of God is there for Lane Kiffin going back to Ole Miss. Yeah, that's kind of a special. I was going to say, I mean, you know, and there will probably be some people who would disagree. But I don't know if there's ever been, or I don't know how many guest pickers are legitimately like universally loved. Everybody loves this guy. Everybody has a memory of this guy. I think it might be like the first time ever when, and I don't know, you know, but I'm assuming he's going to pick Ole Miss. I think even LSU fans are just going to be like, man. Like, they're not, you can't even be upset about it, you know, because you love Morgan Freeman too much. So yeah, Kudos, I'm very excited to watch this on Saturday morning. That's going to be awesome. Tie, tie if I may on another subject. If you can pair me, my man. - Mm-hmm. - Week five, there's a potential. There's a potential. Some things have to happen, but there's a potential. We have been to Iowa City in a long time. - I know, that is honestly correct. The first thing I thought when Ohio State got beat by Texas. - Week five is still in play. It's still in play. That's how, it was the last time we went to Iowa City. - Ooh, probably when they played Penn State, maybe over a decade ago, they were both top five. - Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a while, but that week five, interesting. - Week five, they have-- - Ohio State. - At home. - Yeah. - Then they got, who next? - I believe it. - Oh, this is week five as a whole. Oh, this is, sorry, Bruce just brought this up. This is not the Iowa schedule. This is the week five schedule as a whole. So Notre Dame, North Carolina, we don't know. If North Carolina beats Clemson, you're pretty much, I would think, I'm not involved in that. I would think that Notre Dame at North Carolina is probably a leader in the clubhouse, but if North Carolina loses the Clemson, I would venture to guess that the next one on the board could be Ohio State at Iowa. If you look at that, I'm speculating, looking at the schedule there. - Let's go to the week before, can we get a week four of the college football state as well, so you can maybe do some speculating as well, 'cause I actually don't have any say in where we're going. He's saying he doesn't have any say. - Sure. - Sure. - He's Kirk Herb 30 years. - He is Kirk Herb. He does try to stay out of the shit though. I will say, you and Adam Venetary, very similar. Adam Venetary, when I get in there, Adam Venetary is already in a hall of fame, okay? He's already in a hall of fame. He would outlast me, but when I get there, he's already in a hall of fame. So there'd be something that needed to be said, and we're all like, all right, Vinnie, you're saying that he goes, "No, no, no, no." Absolutely not. I'm like, "What do you mean, though?" He's like, "They're looking to get rid of my ass." I'm old. I'm like, "No." You're never going to be afraid. He's like, "No, no, no, that ain't me, bro." That ain't nice. So I, as young guy, become person who, they're looking to get rid of me too, Vinnie, but somebody has to say this, so that that herbivare is similar. No, no, no, I'm lucky that I'm still here, bro. I'm going to lucky up still here, dude. This is how it goes. - Happy to be alive. Happy to be alive over here. - Yes, you certainly are. We all are, brother, lucky to be doing it. So week four, this would be next week. And obviously everybody looked at week three. I think West Virginia is potentially in play. I don't see it on this particular, I don't see it in this particular slate here, but I think West Virginia is in play every week. - Thank you. - Oklahoma State at West Virginia. - Oh, God. - Yeah, I think, Oklahoma State continues to win. - The only curve ball, the only curve ball, I got a curve ball for you. Is a guy by the name of Archmaning and a Texas Longhorn survived Ohio State and a ranked number one in the country. And they go to a new Eastern kick that Knoxville, Tennessee, we're probably going to be undefeated. - On ABC right there. - Yeah. - On ABC. - Yeah, let's, okay. - Well, sorry, Ty. - There's a chance Oklahoma State. - That's week four. - There's a chance Oklahoma State West Virginia a big time, what's your name, double digit, 100 dog going down to Virginia. - Take that. - Hey, and there are. - Guys, bro, we were dead set for Oregon at USC at the LA Coliseum, lock in low week four, massive big 10 game. Let's do it. And the ducts, the ducts lost obviously last week in Stillwater and they've really struggled out of the gate. So I haven't heard, but I would think that that one's a little bit shaky. There's Alabama or there's Oklahoma going to Georgia, there's Tennessee and Texas. There's a pretty good slate of games that we can. So I don't know where we're wind up, but I know Oregon USC was going to be the obvious choice. But after that loss, I think that one now is probably off the board. - Yeah, it feels like Texas is Tennessee probably leader in the clubhouse. Just once again, we do not make actual decisions on that. That is done by people. I don't know how high. So, you know, that's an interesting thing. I'm giving up a lot of leverage here if I just started saying who's where. But by a couple of folks that are above are the ones making the decision, right, Herbie? I think we can certainly say that. People come after us. People show up in your DMs, I assume. My DMs publicly, they attack us. It's like we're pounding drum for places that are going to have best for our show. That is what we are hoping. - Absolutely. - We would like to celebrate who's going to sell it. Like, that's where James Madison was the greatest. Montana State, negative 100 degrees. It was so cold our generators froze and stopped working. And we were like, actually, those people showing up for us. That's spectacular. Go not to cow. That was awesome. Like us. - Unreal. - Unreal. - Know that us on set, and this is us kind of passing the buck. - We want to juice, man. We want to juice from the crowd. - Oh, we're out there in front of these people. So, like, we would like this place to be, whatever's going to be that. So, if it's a biggest game. Iowa City, man, they would go, if we went to Iowa City, I mean, Ty, you tell them, they would go absolutely. - Without a seat. - If it's Ohio State's top five, whatever there would be by then, top five in the country, going in there, that would be wild. - Yeah, no. No question about it, especially because it hasn't bit, because that is kind of the, I mean, obviously, they would have to get past Michigan in week four, and that's another massive game. But if they do that, then you're looking at Iowa probably. - I was inside the top 15, you know? I mean, so, yeah. And Iowa City, it delivers every weekend, much less a weekend when game day isn't there. - Is that definitely Ohio State? I was the only only one. - Well, I was just, I was looking at it. - I was thinking, let's say Camario Taylor, Mississippi State beats South Carolina this week, and then they beat Mizu next week, and then they host BAMO, week five. That could be one day. - Wow. - Down there. - 'Cause does it Ohio State play someone in week six? That's supposed to be pretty big. Oh, do they go to Iowa, you week?
six. I think we'd be there, right? You got to go there for that. You're not a fake it. I was. I do losses. I don't know if you're going. That's fair. That's fair. Yeah, they lose. That's fair. I love playing this game. Man, and good luck to the people that actually have to make that decision. Good luck. And stop saying it's our fault. Good luck for Steve. We don't do it. That's what we need to do. Let's make sure that Stanford Steve is the one that we right here. Who's that boys right here? I'm going to show with him, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sir, sir, sir, sir. Yeah, give it to me. Give it to me real quick. Sir, we're there. Remember, we're there. You should look at him. I'm representing I'm representing him. Thank you. Yes. Yeah. So he's here. He's here. He's here. He's here in spirit. No, we're here because you're here. No, we're here for the Pat McAfee show. That's why. And Peter's here. Thank you. We were you represented. So, well, you said in spirit. So that's not what we, that's not what we talked about. Perfect. I'm we're there in person. Show here. You personally are here in spirit. The show is here. And we are very grateful to the entire bills family for the invitation to be there on the day of and also Amazon. Herb is currently sitting at the Amazon desk right now. So shout to Amazon for the hookup as well. We appreciate that. Can we talk about tonight? You guys entering year five together? You and I'm like, and is the entire pregame show crew back? Like what are you expecting? Oh, what you had a pregame. You had a preseason game. How do you feel? How do we feel? What is this? Oh my god. Feels great. Feels great. The chemistry is, you know, it's just second nature. It's been that way really the last couple of years. I think the studio show, you know what it's like now on Monday night doing these NFL studio shows, they, by the way, they start tonight at seven o'clock on Amazon Prime. They do a great job hosted by Chris Atomson. The guys doing unbelievable job throughout this desk. They'll hype it up for an hour, show you a lot of different things that kind of get you ready for this, this, not just a matchup, but the new stadium and then Alan and Kaylee take it off at eight o'clock. We're going to do a lot. The intro. You're going to want to tune in right at eight o'clock. It's going to be really cool. What, what they've done is far celebrating this new stadium, the bills mafia, just everything that's gone into the history of bills. And then it's told me it's leather. And I think like I said, it's not just a game. This is a, you guys are all over it. I agree with you in coach, what you were saying. It's not just defenses trying to figure things out for both these teams. It's also really good offense and firepower for both the Lions and the bills. You know, it has the vibe of a game. Both teams may be getting into the high 20s into the 30s. Last time they played, it was a shootout. You'd expect nothing less. We were talking to eight and Hutchison yesterday. I, this guy, believe it or not, he's, he's bigger, he's faster, he's quicker. He made a really good point about coming off the injury last year. There wasn't that normal offseason for him. This was a normal offseason for him. So he was really able to really push himself. I've never seen him look any better than he looks right now. He had two sacks in the opener against the Saints. I, I expect him to, you know, what, what an interesting game within a game. A coach can really talk about this. How often have we seen Josh Allen step up into his right, up into his right. And that's where Aiden Hutchison is because those spin moves and a lot of time getting up field. Well, tonight, you know, is he going to be that guy? Is he going to be a little bit more controlled to prevent that where they try to keep Josh Allen into pocket or maybe make him go left. And if he goes left, he usually runs the ball. But man, every time people come up with a plan and I do at a bills game, you know, you're out there and it sounds good on, on, on paper. It's another thing to execute it and try to keep him bottled up. So I think that's a really interesting battle. Aiden Hutchison on that right side of the offense left side for the defense, trying to keep Josh Allen in that pocket. But I, I think it's going to be a shootout. I think it's going to be an exciting game tonight. Yeah, I think so too. And then you talk about the shootout and all the stats that we're seeing. And there's a chance that the defense is step up from week one to week two. Maybe tackling gets better, maybe coverage gets better, a lot of 13 person owned week one. Maybe that took a lot of defense, a coordinator by surprise. But the stats for the hembo stats are saying, I think it's like 13 out of the last 17 bills home games have gone over. Okay. So when Josh Allen's at home, you know, we remember the massive fourth quarters. Yeah, where he just goes absolutely crazy. Last week he was a fourth quarter going absolutely crazy. It's like this guy's a gamer. Obviously a stud. He's going to want to open that stadium in a big way. And if you're MCDC, what a perfect message. They're trying to have a home opener. We're trying to close it down. You know what I mean? Like they're trying to take all of their happiness from this monumental day for the entire city, the entire mafia, a lot of motivation on both sides. A lot of that'll be a great flight home. You go into a home opener on Thursday night and beat Josh Allen and shut them down. I don't know if that's possible. But that is certainly a good flight home if you're able to accomplish that last thing from us to you, Herbie. As we know, you got to continue your day of preparation before the huge night tonight. I don't I listen to nonstop. I saw some of the clips with you and Joey Galloway who I absolutely love. What was your take on week one? What was your takeaway from the NFL after what we've seen seem like it was like the worst defensive performance that we've seen in some time, but they had a lot of turnovers. Like how do you kind of judge what that was and what you're expecting here for week two? First of all, I think you and I talked about this in three seasons and when people start speculating about who's going to get there at the end. And everybody's talking about the Rams and you know, after watching hard knocks, it's hard to go against Seattle. And on the other side, the AFC, you and I, you know, we've got a kid chase about Patrick Mahalms, but coming off that injury only nine or 10 months out, I think, you know, he's not at a hundred percent yet, but just the spirit of having that chip on their shoulder, a little bit of a reminder that things still go through Kansas City and the AFC. But I'm with you and I'm with Coach. I felt this way really for the last five or six years. Ever since this became such a trend in the NFL about resting your players, not taking the risk and preseason OTAs, maybe they don't hit. You know, when when coach was coaching early in his career and when you were playing even Pat, I mean, you guys hit, guys hit a lot and you got used to kind of getting into football shape. Not only were they not tackling well, but I saw guys with their hands on their hips. These guys are not in football shape. And I think that's a huge advantage for the offenses and and it creates a lot of big plays. I mean, we saw the bills last week in that game against Houston. They had more big plays last week than they had, you know, a number of weeks last year. So I think that trend is going to continue. I don't really think you start to see NFL football because of the way they treat training camp until you get to early October. I feel like this is an extension of training camp when you watch September football, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Yeah. And some of the coaches is even come out and alluded to that. You know, like, hey, let's just get them to the season and then, you know, 17 games, a lot of games. There's only been one team in the history of the NFL that's gone undefeated. And they're talking about maybe add an 18th game. You're going to see guys rest. I think we're going to get G days on actual game days going forward. Everybody wants to be playing their best ball late. To be playing your best ball, you got to be healthy. If you're not healthy, you have no chance. It's very rare that a team that has to use a hundred different players on their roster can sustain. I think Tennessee Titans were the number one seed with variable and they had like 119 guys or something that they turned over. But that was just a house of cards. Because whenever you get into the playoffs, you run into the good teams and the good teams will take advantage of all your backup. So keeping people healthy, lighten the season, especially for your good team, is like a main focus for a lot of these decisions that are being made. But their fan bases have to watch shite football the first couple of weeks. I think that kind of goes hand in hand. Go ahead, Herbie. Yeah. It was just the last thing I was going to say for Foxy because it's a lot about Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, the stadium and everything. But it's just, I don't know if you guys agree or disagree. I feel like Jared Goff, maybe it's because of the trade when he left the Rams and went to Detroit because the staffer, you know, right away, won a Super Bowl. And everybody gave Matthew his accolades and they should have. But I almost feel like Goff because of the optics of that has never been treated with the respect that he deserves. I feel like he's the top seven guy in the league. He's got playmakers around him. The St. Brown gets a lot of attention. Jamo continue to get better and better. The tight in La Porta is healthy. Tremir Gibbs could be as good a three down back as we have in the game right now. So I just, I think Goff is, he could get into it to a shootout. He could get into a game where he's got a score with Josh Allen. But I really wish the league and the fans of the league would pay more attention to what Jared Goff is doing. Not just the numbers, but watch him tonight at the line of scrimmage. He almost reminds me not to the level of Pete Manning, but they give him so much at the line of scrimmage. And, you know, it'd be tough in his environment to be able to handle it the way he did at home against the Saints, but just I just have a great appreciation for the command of the line of scrimmage, the way he's able to get in and out of the bad play into the good play, the decision making, the accuracy and how damn consistent it is. So this guy deserves 12. He's in his 11th year. I just think because of the way that deal went down with Stafford and Stafford and McVeigh and the Rams became the toast to the town that for whatever reason Goff doesn't get the dude that he deserves. And I just want to say before the season really gets going that this guy I think if they stay healthy is going to have a monster year. And what an opportunity on this stage tonight on Amazon Prime to kind of show who he is and really what these Detroit Lions team is all about. - Yeah, you're saying that dude deserves some dude. - Yeah. - Yeah, there's some dude.
that is deserved by that particular dude up there and you mentioned Peyton Manning, just like Peyton Manning. If they can keep him up, he can operate perfectly. We've seen it with the Ben Johnson offense. Now we're obviously transitioning into this era. He is a super genius and he can throw the out that is unguardable. He can throw the ball, two yards out of bounds on a rope to a mon-raw and it's just absolutely unguardable. Similarly, if you can keep him on his feet. Now, last question, follow up because you bring up that entire thing. Go ahead, Tony. Yeah, hurry, I don't know if you've talked to him yet, but how do the lines feel about their offensive line and their offensive line injuries? I believe they're going to be obviously they lose Kade Mays, their starting center in camp. He's out. Leave they lost their left guard and right tackle in week one for tonight. How do they feel about their offensive line coming to this game? You know how it is. I mean, that's, this has been to me the staple of this franchise since Dan Campbell turned this thing around. It's physicality. The line is scrimmage and now it's a complete overhaul. I mean, Sule, who's one of the best in the game who's gone back to his college position at left tackle start with that. You got a rookie at right tackle and Blake Miller, who got dinged and opened her. If this came around Sunday, he would play Thursday night. He's not able to go. So Larry Borum, a kind of a journeyman. He goes in at right tackle. You mentioned Scruggs, who's a backup. He was a throw in in the David Montgomery trade. He used to just throw him trying to make the roster. He's starting at center tonight in this environment. The left guard who was in a battle throughout camp with Ben Barg, that's Christian Mahogany. He got, he got dinged. He's out. So Barg will go. He came in the middle of that game last week. So you go from this offensive line being one of the best in the league when Dan Campbell got to stay going to 22, 23, 24. So now they've had to try to reshuffle the deck. So that's a really good question you bring up. I think it's a big part of what they're going to try to do tonight. These guys are NFL players. They're going to have to step up and be ready. To go from this being as good as there is in the league, they're just trying to kind of find the continuity with the right guys. It's a bit of a question to mark. But if they can hold up, I would argue that with Jamo, St. Brown, Jameer Gibbs and Sam Laporta, that's about as good as skill is anybody. And again, golf, the trigger man, that's about as good as skill as anybody has in this league. So, but it's all your right tone as always. It's really about that offensive line and how they hold up, especially with two starters down the night. All right, Chuck is chomping at the bits to talk about the defense a little bit. We know you have to get out of there. So we appreciate you. Thank you to the Buffalo Bills for having host of the Pat McAfee show. Kirk Herbs on location at their unveiling of the brand new High Mark Stadium. Good luck tonight, brother. Thank you guys. Appreciate you having me, boys. Take care. Hey, worst is Peter there. Yeah, he's right here. There you go. Is he going to be the mom of that that Bruce Bison? I don't know when I don't know when the bison is coming in. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, that is good boy. That is good boy. See you. Okay, coach, we just talked about points, points, points, and over and offences. And if they can protect him and it was an honor to be boots on the ground at the opening of the brand new High Mark Stadium. We are so thankful that we got a chance to be there. That was awesome. Shout out to Amazon. Actually, now Amazon does have that place completely, which was was an immediate realization, whatever it all happened. We were never getting in there ever. How come Amazon doesn't deliver the game ball with one of their delivery drones? Great question. Should start happening. I assume that that would be a nice sponsorship deal that it could get even more money from a partner that has given a lot of money. We very much understood that Amazon had that stadium. It's a home opener. Yeah. First time really debuting at all. Amazon pays a lot of money for that. So when we were asked to do that, felt like it was an incredible honor. We appreciate that. Logistically might be a little bit difficult trucks. Right. Their first game of the season. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. So on that note, friend of the program, host of the show, Kirk Herb Street being there. It is an honor to be there. They have cannot wait to get up and experience it. Kirk Herb Street has been glowing about it literally for the last 24 hours as he's learned more and more. It will certainly be on display. It'll be loud. What you would think would potentially help home defense. Maybe Jared Goff isn't allowed to do it all. Chuck, you just heard a lot of convoy about the offense at points, points, points, and our super boost that's going live at 157 involves a touchdown on the ground and a touchdown through the sky for either team to be boosted a plus one 50. That's a plus one 50. A lot has to happen here. Yeah. But they're just saying no problem. Plus one 50 is the boost. So everybody is expecting points, points, points for you. Young defensive coordinators will start with Buffalo. What do you expect from Jim Leonard and how does his defense fare against what Jared Goff can do? Well, yeah. Jimmy, I had the great pleasure of coach him at Baltimore in 2008. One of the brightest, smartest defenders I've ever been around. Week one to week two, they'll they'll be better. But both these defensive struggled mightily. The back end for Detroit is beat up to all get out. But as far as Buffalo, with this offensive line, like if I'm Dan Campbell, I'm running the ball. Like Houston held the ball for almost 37 minutes, time of possession. They tried to shrink the game and they had a chance at the end of the game to beat buff, to beat the bills. I think Dan Campbell goes in there and say, okay, we may not be great at pass blocking with these new pieces in here. But let's run the football. Do they have a good guy to run the football with? Yeah. Jameer Gibbs is a nightmare. So trying to handle him, you know, when they hand it off to him, when they split him out in the formation, get him the ball on screens out on the perimeter. This guy's an absolute nightmare. And then you load up and bring an extra guy in the box to do that. And now you got to cover this tight end LaPorta. You got St. Brown. You've got Jamo. Jamo needs to catch the ball, right? He's got to look the thing in. I see the X, catch the football. So, you know, it's a it's a tall order. They've got some good pass rushers. They got Chubb. They've got Russo at Oliver in the middle. Bernard, you know, the back end for them. They've got Harrison, who's healthy. He's starting on one side, Benford's on the other side. CJGJ, keep an eye on CJGJ, all right, for this Buffalo defense. He's one of the safeties back there. He is a big hitter. He's going to look to take somebody's head off back there. So this, well, yeah, no, he'll keep the ball responsible. Yeah. He will keep the head out of the game. He'll use a shoulder. It'll be between the belt buckle and below the neckline. Yeah, he'll keep the head out of the game. But the head games are certainly a part of the game for DJGJ. That is why they brought him in there, right? Then they say they need a little bit of juice. Yeah, that's some juice. You want an edge? We need a mask. We'll give you an edge. Yes, he certainly will. We'll give you last year. What's up? Was he with you last year? Yeah. Yeah, you had a cup of coffee with him. Oh, yeah, it was quicks day or he came in. I mean, we had a defense that was loaded anyway with a bunch of people. So it made sense for him to get somewhere where, you know, they actually, he was going to get on the field. How are the heads, how are the headphones doing? These are wonderful. These fucking thing. You got to put it behind your ear. The wire is behind the ear. No, it wasn't. I was just looking at it. It was not. It kind of blends in with your head. No, I feel like Mad Dog Rousseau. Like, what the fuck? Yeah. We're as great seeing Mad Dog here yesterday. What a performance. Has he ever been on the show? Was he on the show? I don't think so. I don't think Mad Dog's ever been on the show before. And I really like he was awesome on the show yesterday. He was awesome at the art show yesterday. He's awesome on TV as well. I didn't grow up listening to him from Pittsburgh, but certainly learning of him as the internet just had clips of him in sports Pope is kind of hitting my life was certainly a moment that I'll never forget. And we got Mark Madden. Okay. Sure. That's who we have in Mark Madden is delivering all of the spices sports Pittsburgh is a local radio local sports talk place still. Okay. It's not like as obviously noted as some other cities, but it is still very much a local sport. I think any sports places. So learning of the New York sports radio radio host thing later in life. I didn't really know about it the time when I was young. What a weapon that guy is. And he's been mad about the same shit for so long. And he brings it every day. I mean, that guy brings it every single day. Has it missed the day since when? When did I? Yeah, like 36 years 1989. Wow. That's unbelievable. We just had a show. That's the only reason he missed like two weeks ago on on Wednesday. No, he didn't miss on first date. I didn't miss. No, he had a shoulder surgery. He scheduled off that day. Yeah, I was here, but he hasn't missed in 30 minutes. Doesn't miss the mad dog. He's gummies and betting too. Yes, he does, which is why we appreciate it. Yeah, we like the way he operates. We are we are a big fan. We got dropped on the hip station on serious sex and it kind of happens everywhere we go. You know, and he wasn't like the most thrilled. I don't think, you know, because he had his line up and then we come in there just swearing because it's serious. We were excited to get serious XM because we're on Westwood one regular radio. We go to serious radio. Hey, we're just going to be able to say whatever, you know, there was a thought of like what station are we going to go on? What channel are we going to go on? Are we going to build a chance? I mean, there was like a lot of combos happening. We're very young in the entire process, but still had a little bit of juice, I think at the time. So then you were going to put you on mad dog. It's like sweet. So then obviously when you do that, you kick somebody else off the air canal, I think. Yeah. He got all pissed off. Obviously we started enemy with this guy. Okay. Great. Can't wait. We did not choose for this to happen, but obviously this is something that's happened in the mad dog group. So he backed his guy that just got kicked off and we got added in there and he didn't like the swearing. Yeah. You know, the rest of the channel. It was fine. The only reason we were going to seriously so that we could swear on the air because Westwood one was like a real problem. Whatever we were on there and would swear and all that stuff. So yeah, it's an interesting relationship. I'd say with the guy learn about him as an adult. We're lucky to be on his channel. And then also it felt like they were pretty happy. We were no longer on the channel. Yeah. And then we see him on TV and then they're still doing it over there. So it's like, uh, yeah, we're fans of don't know him literally at all. No. Lake is we'll bring some juice. Yeah. Have a
one phone call before we went on his channel. - Lebron, obviously. - Yeah, Lebron, if he's-- - Lebron's got juice, he's got juice. - Let's remember to make sure we're hitting the things goes through the entire, he basically gave us his like playbook 'cause I think he was kind of told, hey, you should do this or whatever. They had an entire holiday, remember they had an entire holiday dinner? - Yeah, his big thing was at the Super Bowl, everybody from a channel gets together and we have dinner together. So I'd like you to come to that. That would be my big ask. - It was an honor, so we don't really know him, but it feels like we do and we are a big fan. And we like that he does TV. - Yeah. - We are, big fans of him do. Also great to see Michael Irvin back on TV a lot. That was my Sunday watching routine. Was that show over on NFL Network? And he was somebody that just, I mean, woke me up on Sundays. It was fantastic. Great to see him back on television. Okay, let's talk about some stuff that happened on television yesterday. Well, I guess it was only on the internet. It was our third hour. It came out from Cincinnati practice to Joe Borough. Hey, he's not doing any purposeful throws. Obviously it's the first day of work. He was talking to his staff. He didn't go through warmups and stretching. This kind of gets reported by @trags out into the world. We see that. We go hold the phone. Daniel Olovsky says, hey, there was a run there where he ran to the side of his third and sixth. He gets hit. He lands very awkwardly and then there was blood, I guess, coming through as elbow or shoulder. So there was a lot of speculation taking place. We even talked to chef at the time. He's like, we're learning this in real time. I don't know. We look into it. Then it came out. Joe borough is just resting. He does have some soreness. And then he was quoted as saying, if I'm not getting surgery, I'll be out there. Okay. So what is the level of concern here? Is this actually nothing? This feels very early to kind of start something, especially if it's a back, because we know how backs linger. But I do believe Joe Borough is tough. I do believe Joe Borough will play through whatever. But if I'm a Cincinnati Bangladesh fan, this is a little bit alarming, I think, for how young he is, for the Wednesday practice to become what it is and his storyline developing might be absolutely nothing in the end, because Joe Borough is super tough. But it was a little bit of an alarming eye catching tweet there from Tracks. Yeah. And it could be nothing like you mentioned, but it's week one. And we're talking about a back injury that isn't just going to go away if you continue to play. Now, if he continues to play and it gets worse, is he going to be down for the season? We remember a few years ago where he had that kind of rogue wrist injury. Yeah. And then you heard about it in the middle of the week. You know, like, yeah, what is this? Then the game comes and on the first drive, you know, he tries to go. Clearly, he's very banged up. He throws a pass. I think like a little out route. And he basically couldn't do it. So like, sure, this might be nothing. It might be something small. But you're going to play the Houston Texans. So if you're not going to play the Cleveland Browns. So Houston Texans that just gave up 36 points that are probably getting told all week. How shitty their defenses. It's like, you got to kind of take care of yourself a little bit. And I would be shit in my pants if I'm a bangles fan because of all the fodder in the off season and how the season started. Well, and also in the off season, he was healthy. Yeah. It's the first time a long time where Joe Burrow was healthy. It's like, here we go. This is what we geared up for. This is why we pay a number one and a number one a wide receiver. Because we think our quarterback can handle it. They invest in a defense because the defense was clearly the problem. Most healthy they've been and they get a win week one. Yeah, right. This is not bangles at all. Then Wednesday comes. And it's like, uh, just kind of taking it easy. Don't worry about just a little backs on us. And it's like, I don't like that at all because I was excited about what this bangles. They're defense. Yeah, we're turning over. Pomeran, turning the ball out of her, attacking the ball. Joe Burrow is going to be Joe Burrow. Jamar Chase came out on his podcast and said he was seeing a lot of coverage over coverage. They basically said, hey, you're not in anymore. So please, fantasy football people that are yelling at me like, understand this might happen. Okay, this is a chance it's going to take place. That's why you have a one and a one a and T Higgins. So I'm a little bit worried about this. But not mightily. We'll see how it all plays out. Backs though. I don't think those lingering. Yeah, backs are problematic, you know. And then you don't even know. Excuse me for interrupt. Oh, go ahead. How serious? Because they're not going to tell you tell you they can't. Who's that? The team. The pilot's Garrett. Didn't practice right for three weeks. And then all of a sudden he's on, you know, short term IR and having knee surgery. So they're going to say, okay, he's got a back. He's got some soreness. Like if he can't move, like Will Anderson to Neil Hunter to your point. Those guys are going to be fraught in at the mouth. Like a bunch of mad dogs out there. Yeah, but he can't move around. Yeah, but maybe, you know, you got a chiropractor. Sometimes you got those soreness and then they kind of pop right out. Use the Texans defense. They got some chiropractors over there. Yeah, a bunch of them actually. They got a lot of chiropractors over there. So maybe it'll help. Because he at one point in his career, he was like, I need to get hit to kind of get welcome to the game. And we're like, that was cool. You don't need that anymore. And he even came out and said, I don't need to get any more. But he is Ohio guy. I mean, he is football guy. He's going to put his body into jeopardy every once in a while for the good of team and his eyes for the good of ball. And it's just he, they need to keep him healthy. You know, because if he's upright, he's like golf. I mean, that guy can just. Oh, yeah. Absolutely anything. They haven't been able to protect him. Has he put himself himself in a position to not be protected? Potentially. Let's move to some other storylines happening around the NFL. Texans wide receiver, Nico Collins having some test done on his hamstring. What's the update here on Nico? Obviously number one down there. Yeah. So he was obviously it was fine in the game. And then I actually saw a clip from their team. They put out practice and he was at practice. And then this came out after practice. I'm not sure if he did something in practice. But he had a huge first game against the bills. He's obviously their number one. They already lost every receiver for the season. So this is huge for them. Obviously for the season and CJ Stroud in his season. So we'll see about nothing obviously cemented right now. OK, CJ Stroud was talked about by Andre Johnson. Andre Johnson, one of the bull ring of honor members. I do believe for the Houston Texans former teammate of mine. Full clip he said he liked what he saw to CJ. But in the past he has said that he had bad body language. What do we think of the entire CJ Stroud storyline and Houston con men? Yeah, it feels like they just kind of clipped down Andre Johnson saying, hey, I don't love his body language. I've just been my only issue with him even though right after that clip that everyone saw. He says his body language against the bills was actually very good. And CJ has come out multiple times and said like that's something I need. To work on. So it does feel like, hey, here's the clip. Andre Johnson saying something that he doesn't like about CJ Stroud. We're in reality. The full clip says shows the entire story that people didn't actually see. And I think you know, we all see that with CJ. We've all seen now CJ CJ even said he's heard that. But you know, non community or non verbal communication is like 80% of communicating, especially from a leadership position. I like that CJ acknowledges it and trying to get better. I think it's all Andre was doing while saying he thought he was better there this past Sunday. Yeah, it's huge. I mean, some guys have this look, you know, and it's just like I'm disinterested. I don't care, you know, I'm whatever, but that's not the case with this kid. Some guys are leaders in some art and they're trying to bring the best out of him as far as leadership goes. It is crazy because at that position you're just expected to have the seat. Not everybody is just born being a leader. I'm not saying CJ isn't, but I'm just saying all the traits of it don't come naturally to some. They can work. We'll see on the other side. A new podcast series from ABC Audio in 2020 goes inside a case that has captivated the nation. To 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. Football! These amazing men with 37 years of coaching experience. Our coach is here, laser gentleman, Coach Pagano. Great to see you coach. Way to get into it there. One half of the hammer. Tonight's game, obviously 54 and a half over under. Bill's favorite at home. Both of them coming off of massive 30 plus point explosions on the offensive side and wins. Home opener for the bills. What are the expectations? What are the percentages of bets on what? And how excited are you about our super boost coming at one 57 Eastern time? Yeah, the percentage is tonight. Everyone's on the bill, 78% on the money line, which is not shocking because you have the injury news to the line. And the Saints took them the overtime last weekend. On the other side, you see the bills go down to who you send and see Josh Allen see what he does in the home opener and all these things. And home on Thursday night on a short week. Those all go towards the bills on the 70th and the money line. The five and a half is 60% on the bill. So a lot of money on the bills tonight. Last time these two teams play, there's points points. Points, always points points points. Our boost tonight boosts to plus 150 is each team to score one rushing and one plus passing touchdown for both of those teams to do. Plus 150 tonight will be a great one. If you are of age and agree to gamble responsibly. We would love for you to come join us on the best sportsbook in the world. Draft Kings tonight for a plus 150. Now we did lose our last most and I don't like that at all. It was tough one. Yeah, it was tough one. Candace Walker took us halfway home. We're waiting on JK Dobbins. Tonight with a lot of points being thought about with James Cook and Josh Allen on one side. Okay. And then Jamir Gibbs on the other side. And maybe Jared Goff. Yep, sure. Definitely. Goal line, sneak type situation. We do think that there will be a ground touchdown for both teams. We believe both coaches will want to keep the ball on the ground. So Jared Goff, he could spin it. Easy. He's got weapons all over the place if he needs to. Now can they protect him with an offensive line that's banged up? We shall see. Josh Allen. Let's assume he's going to throw one to somebody who's going to be in the end zone. Yeah. Okay, he's Josh Allen.
huge jump from week one to week two week one I don't think anybody including the teams new exactly who they were and us we're still in a learning process of who the hell these teams are tonight is going to tell us a lot about both these teams are they both just here and this is what it's going to be for the rest of the season now we're going to see a big fall off offensively or we're going to see defenses take kind of over we don't know we have no clue what this week should hold but we like the fact that we think that a ball should be taken over the goal line on the ground for both teams and through the sky for both teams absolutely and that is boosted plus one 50 shout out to draft games once again gamble responsibly please don't be an asshole if you're an asshole you ruin it for all of us so don't do that there's going to be more games and there's going to be more bets that's right okay so this isn't your last one this isn't one you're going to win a house with this is responsibly here just a little bit of a dancing to make the game a little bit more interesting and maybe a team ride celebration on this beautiful Thursday night week two NFL kickoff Thursday joining us live from an addict in Ohio is a man who's a college football national champion Super Bowl champion Ryder Cup winner laser gym a j hawko yeah hawko hawk how you doing Paul I'm doing great I cannot wait to hear Chuck break it all down so I can make my pick for the night's game okay so you kind of torn on what you're going to do you had a great opening week you saw the board very well you seemingly were able to predict what was going to happen on Sundays NFL slate into Monday slate better than I and better than most I would assume and I how do you see do you think it's going to be a big get back for the defense is or do you think we continue to see an offensive explosion like the NFL trend started in week one I am looking for a continuance of the offensive explosion both these offenses know that they can put up points they know that you'll just see which defense shows up I know the lines and bills both feel like their defense can play much much better but I think one of them's going to going to shine tonight and I'm leaning one way right now and I'm not going to let anyone else really sway my instincts I think until I hear Chuck because he is kind of like the god of all of all that you know predicting games and what's going to happen oh he's the Morgan Freeman got he was wrong last week he was sure to kill him and he said what the Chuck which we're certainly going to have to get into here uh there's some pies on elitics that might sway you a little bit that we got from mr. paganetti over the past 20 years teams playing on the road on Thursdays which Thanksgiving Christmas et cetera you never know after going to overtime on the previous Sunday just four days beforehand are four and seventeen against the spread yikes restricting it to just Thursday night games they are three and thirteen against the spread so overtime seemingly does catch up the teams on Thursday now week one the week two is that different than week seven to week eight or week eleven to week twelve because it's only a four day recovery process so does the first week early in the season change that type of stat potentially coach but yeah you're not I mean they should be able to play I think it was eighty nine snaps that they played in that game so there'll be a little bit of residual special on a on a short week but yeah I don't I don't see that being a or is it worse early in the season because ever what like if you've ever played football week one is just the worst for your lungs and getting your legs underneath you and and obviously it's better week by week by week and then there's a decline at the end of the season because of the toll of everything that's taken on your body but earlier in the season like you're you're sucking wind oh so maybe not football shape but you are in cardio shape so once you get so maybe week six the week seven is the best four day period because you have your game shape up and your body is still hopefully held together how did your body recover for Thursday nights obviously you're gonna say we're all playing it we're all hurt so that's how it is but actually what was it like because I remember seeing big guys before the Thursday night just became regular and became just understood that this is what this is like Wednesdays guys still golf carton around you know after a Sunday game and then all of a sudden yeah you got Thursday game it's coming early and obviously the way it's sold to the players is you got a mini by week on the other side of this thing hey you got three days off here we get all watch games have a good time we won't see you until Monday the thing that isn't mentioned as much to the players is like yeah you've had no recovery time here your bodies are certainly beat up how did you feel about it AJ and how did you treat it it's definitely a quick turnaround I think the older you get the harder it is to make that quick turnaround it's true like they are definitely guys especially big dudes that you're going out there to practice Wednesday and they're barely moving like they're not walking around too much they they're super stiff and trying to work things out so yeah Thursdays quick but I think like I said like you mentioned it it's true they're all on the same boat we know that everybody feels different like how their body responds but as long as the coaches take care of you and you know throughout the week out you know Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday before you're doing things like quick on and off the field it's a super like mental week we know that okay so let's talk about super mental week you normally see basic shit right on Thursday nights isn't that kind of the conversation or is that a little bit of a lot it's usually cut down it's paired down you know I have as much time but as far as the health and safety and all that kind of stuff it's all walk through right we were never in pads we never put the helmets on to AJ's point we just walk through everything we might get you moving a little bit you know the day of the travel maybe that maybe that Wednesday and then hop on a plane if you if you got to go on the road but it but physically taxing it was all recovery and it was all mental a ton of walkthroughs practice was short now we cut all the reps normal 12-period play period was would go to eight you know eight plays all the way through practice and then again it was just it was just communication it was mental was getting guys on the same page but it was recovery yeah getting everybody back early in the season so hopefully that is not the case and we see some great football tonight out of everybody uh I am excited to hear that stadium yes the way herbie was describing it it's like hey you look it's gonna straight up here that that is that's built for sound that's what that's built for sounds like now great if they maybe there's some airspace restrictions or you know there's something that forced them to go up as opposed to like the U.F.O.E. shape that all these other new stadiums are but this thing's built for sound is what I heard from Kirk Herbstreet and I think the Pagula family certainly sports family they understand the advantages of that AJ I think they're going to put on a show tonight this bill's mafia yeah I definitely think they're going to want to want to show up and in represent you know with their team but I love what the herbie say it's like an old school basketball arena like when the used they were the crowd was right on top of you and you can't really tell that even seeing herbie sit there like you can't really the perspective is tough through the camera so I was glad to hear because I think that's the best like those are the most like the most raucous environments the most fun to play it whether you're home or away you want to play in those kind of environments I don't I don't like that they did the soft open precie the first time I seen this thing should have been tonight now where did they play their home preseason games right at University of Buffalo yeah there you go and each just yeah it probably did have to do a John Taffer stress test though yeah concession you know bathroom lines all that kind of stuff because you can't have a giant cluster of come week one with all that kind of you're right what also how do we manage the photos with the bison true exactly you know who those are I guess you do have to test the seats are awesome and also it looks like a soccer stadium it does the one side where it goes straight up at the end zone we're going to get some optics and visuals that are probably going to be in our primetime television screens for a long time with the way Josh and Joe breadier played did you know about the wind deal that herbie said 40 miles an hour outside would be 20 miles an hour I feel like that's a massive deal huge deal especially later in the season kickers punters love that also quarterbacks that spendable love that so it feels like they got to write kept it open so their fans aren't super pissed also able to cover the people that are paying a shit ton of money yeah bingo yeah so you don't have to do that kind of a win-win we'll see how it debuts tonight this weekend could provide us some situations that need to be talked about on a Thursday yeah last week we debuted something that uh I think we've all not only enjoyed on the show but have taken off the program as well yeah it's helped our diction yeah it's helped the uh a roll of decks of words it's helped us describe things better and I hope that every weekend we get some fantastic moments that make us say what the shock okay coach Pogano what the chuck week to some moments from this past weekend that made us all go what what what the chuck's going on out there I guess we're starting on Sunday night is that right Chuck yeah we are we got we got the giants we got Isaiah likely all alone in the back of the end zone uh this is one of the the New York Giants top weapons and nobody covers this guy so I don't know what the chuck is going on in the back end to me if you roll this thing back pat okay it looks like they're playing a cover for every people talk about quarters all the time we've been playing quarters in the red area forever I and basically you you know 17s number one nine is number two as far as the receivers go and then if 17 goes vertical our corner is going to take him if he dies underneath he's going to belong to the quarter flat player that's the linebacker that's going to take him you're going to see him come off a number two on that and then the corner no work get depth and look for work and so as soon as one drives underneath he goes in and in get some depth and go cover likely and you basically have a bracket on him with the with the say I don't have any idea what the chuck these two guys are doing it's early in Christian parkers tenure over there there was a lot of communication breakdowns in this game I'm sure they'll be better in week two they have to be better in week two but this is this is just something that that can happen in the back end and it kind of makes you go the check is going on over there because we've seen what six guys wide open against the Dallas Cowboys four box four guys wide opening gets Dallas Cowboys defense and secondary that was supposed to change now you cut this thing in half you're talking quarters coverage this thing has been run since the beginning of ball this should not be that big of a learning curve if the two because deep he becomes the one and if the one goes short he becomes the two you want the linebacker on shorts you don't have to chase a guy who's obviously going deep quarter doesn't see it chase his inside linebacker thinks he's got it right then all of a sudden you
- What the-- - Chuck! - And then Jackson Darts think of himself. These guys should be way better at this. As soon as he sees linebacker and corner drop down, that's an easy pitch and catch. I say I likely make some right. And all anybody on the defensive side is watching. Oh, no, no. This week one on prime time, and we look like this. Well, an embarrassment. What the-- - The Chuck! - Love that. Let's go to the next one. Shall we coach Pagano? I'll tell you, AJ, there's a lot of this happening. We don't like it, but the offenses have obviously been exposing at all. How about this one, third and sixth, AJ, fourth quarter? - One point game. You're on the road, division rivalry, AJ. And we've got the defense, three of the defenders on the right side. The tight end's gonna go short motion outside here. The tackle, he can point to who he's supposed to protect. And these two move, the play clock's going, so they snap the football. I don't see a flag. I didn't hear a whistle. They're running a play. You gotta keep playing. You can't stand up and start pointing, "Hey, where's the Chuck and Flag is?" What the Chuck is going? And then they complete the pass, and then we've got four defenders here. I don't know what to chuck. These got poop ball. - Poo ball, poop ball, poop ball. - We used to say bad ball around here, poop ball. This is egregious. You've got a one point game on the road, deep into the fourth quarter. You're fixing a winnest game. You got a legitimate chance to win this football game. And they still had a legitimate chance at the end. But this is just like, you're scratching your head going, what the-- - What the Chuck! - And then there's poop ball over to a place. Goddard's still doing it. Jalen hurts taking advantage. But you're looking for a flag, not looking at your guy. All of a sudden, boom, Philadelphia Eagles beat you at home. There's some other stuff that happened in that game that made you say what to chuck from my understanding. A little bit of a, maybe an upright dance. - Maybe a pole dance. - We learn what we can and we can't do now. And the National Football League is far scorned touchdowns and celebrating and digs right here is going to go up the hell out of this goal post right here. I don't know what the chuck he's thinking. Look at the score right here. They're down eight, right? So you know this late in the fourth quarter. They're going to do what, AJ, after they score a touchdown right here. - Can I go for two, Chuck? - Go for two. But taunting unsportsman-like conduct, it's a 15-yard penalty. So AJ, we're going to go for two from the, from the, what, 15-yard line? - 17-yard line, plus two. - It's a little tougher, isn't it? Yeah, it's going to be a little tougher. So they got to kick one. Usually it's 33 yards. Now we got to make a 48-yard frickin' PAT. So this probably had Dan Quinn and the entire offense. David Blow, the new play caller over there going. What the chuck! - Good lead in there. I like what you did kind of a TV host. Where are we going next, here? - We're going to go to Las Vegas, right here. - Yeah, I like that. - And we're going to see a flag come in here. Boys, we're going to see a flag. We're going to see a great play. It's third and third and 13. This, this a great play by the safety here, Anderson. Breaking this ball up, great timing. You're going to see the coaches on the side. Like the coach Coug coming over and his rookie year. He's going to come over. They're all signaling, hey, we need a flat. We need a flat. That's pass interference. That's pass, well, there comes a flag out right here, right? - Oh, the rough is there. - What's he doing? - Ah, she's doing. - It's a shame. It's a missus. So, we're all thinking, right? The sidelines think of, hey, we got it, we got it. They just gave us a first down, right, on third and 13. What a gift, right? No. No. If we run this thing back, you know what they end up calling on this, AJ? - No. - Do you remember this? - No, I need you to tell me. - I'm going to tell you right here. See number eight. He got the flag. - For what? - Oh, yeah, stay on the top of the. - Tonning. - That got Tonning call right there. He's looking at his team, man. - Shocking Tonning. - No, that can't be. That can't be. - Shocking Tonning. - Right. - Of celebration that we're calling. Tonning at this point. He's just looking at his team, man. Now he does stand over him a little bit. - What are the refs doing? There's an incomplete pass. Oh, yeah. That right there, right? So, what do all the DBs do now, right? They do that right there, incomplete. Way to go, Mike. Way to go. We're off the field, fourth down punt. We're getting the ball back. But no. No. We got a chucking penalty flag coming out of the pocket. You know what they tell the officials to do? We all need to do before it. We let something roll off our tongue that we're going to regret. - What's that? Take a deep breath. Let's just all take a deep breath. And just exhale and say, was that really what I thought I saw? So, you know, we don't chuck a knee disc. We don't chuck a knee disc. No. - I'll tell you what. - What a break for Las Vegas, though. - Certainly. Third and 13. Make a big time play. You can tell the lad week one, "Hey, good play my man, good play my man." But instead, we got a ton of penalty and everybody's saying, "What the chuck?" Hey, good stuff, man. Everybody close. Chuck and unbelievable. There, we could have had 50 of these, of what the chuck? 50. You saw all the points in yards, right? So, you just looked at the defensive side and a lot of our conversation has been on the defensive side and how much improvement the defense is going to make from week one to week two. We're fixing to find out tonight. - Hey, Jake, did you know that what that call was? It sounded like you genuinely didn't know and you were thankful that Chuck told you about what the chuck was going on. - Yeah. I was thankful for Chuck letting me know, but I remember reading about that thing and saying, so they claim he stood over top of him, right? And I know they don't want you standing there. Even though he was looking at his teammate, I mean, this one is really pushing. - Yeah, we're just, well, I think the reason why we wanted to potentially spot like this one today and I don't want to speak for Chuck of what the chuck though is like, hey, this can't be, we can't be giving first downs because of this type of, if there is egregious ones, which we know there are, and players certainly get worked up in a moment, kind of blackout, do their thing, and some people are natural shit talkers. That is how they play sports. Some people aren't, some people are, some people that's their entire drive and motivation, how they operate. So as these rules change, it certainly affects how some people are in their demeanors. This cannot be what our level is at the bottom of what taunting is, third and 13 here. This is a massive stop for the Miami Dolphins. It's a huge deal for the Miami Dolphins. If we're just doing a note, as you're looking at your teammate who's standing right there, I think did he know the guy was down there because he gave a little look potentially, you know, he did do a little look down. But if he's in his face, I think we all agree with it. - T-bagging him all that stuff. Yeah, boom. We're throwing it right now. - Yeah. - Right now. - T-bags. - Yup. - Read the T-leaf. - I don't know how to just say what you just said there. - Oh no. I'm not 100% sure. - I'm putting nuts on foreheads. - Yeah, chuck that, man. That's what he said. - Yeah. - That tie. - That's what you said, David. Everybody heard it just that. - I hope the words in my mouth. - I did. - Well, we're kind of like, what the chuck is this guy saying? - Yeah. - And it's not mouth. It's foreheads is what you were talking about. - Yeah. - You know what hard it is to get off the field as a defender these days is prolific as these offenses are. We just found out in week one, the rules are also, all we see is points right in the scoreboard lit up. It's what you can't touch a guy. You can't fart around a guy. You can't do anything around these receivers as a defensive back. Now you get off the field on third and thirteenth. Make a great play. - I think you should be a lot of say it's an incomplete patch. - Yeah. - You actually brought up a good point earlier and to me yesterday that I think kind of debunks the theory that we've been saying for a long time, especially with head coaching high rings. AJ, wait until you hear this. I'm excited to get your take on it. I don't know if Chuck texted it to you or not. We've been chatting about it here a little bit, but we've always said that in the hiring process of head coaches, it feels like the smart decision is getting offensive guy who's going to run the offense. So then you don't have to find a new offense coordinator over here. You don't have to find new offense coordinator. Chuck mentioned a complete counter point that was like a lot of guys seemingly offensive gurus now, right? Because the system and what you're able to run and who these people are, seemingly a lot of offensive gurus, he thinks you get a defensive guy that's good. You need to hang on to said guy like an obviously McDonald up there in Seattle wins the Superbowl as a defensive head coach or the defensive coordinator. But I think Chuck brought the light like it might be harder to find a good defensive coordinator right now than it is to find a good offensive coordinator. Your thoughts on that from Chuck Pagano because as he said it, my mind was like interesting because we do have a lot of good offenses like a lot of good offense and it feels like if you pull from a certain tree, the system should create some success. If the coach is a good leader and the coach is able to apply it and everything like that, which seemingly more guys are able to do now than they've ever been able to do in the past. On the defensive side though, it does feel like some defenses get exposed on a regular basis and some defenses seemingly know what the other side's doing before it happens. Just kind of your thought on Chuck trying to protect defensive head coaches going forward and maybe putting a little bit more respect on their names. Well, I mean, I think it's interesting like because it's true, like if you're say you're a young coach and you're thinking, what's my quickest way to the top? What's my quickest way to become a head coach at a big school was to be an offensive guy. That's the way that gives you the best chance. I think we see all fences, what the hell is taking us? I understand too. I want to score points. I want games to be high scoring. They're fun to watch. So yeah, I think there's probably just less guys that are trying to get into the defensive coaching arena. I guess as you say, even though coming up, most coaches at some point will coach almost every single position, offense and defense if he coach long enough. But yeah, why would you choose to be a defensive coach? I guess when you are starting out, if you know the best chance to become a head coach and to get paid the most and all of that is to be a head coach or be an offensive guy. Obviously, we saw Spags on Monday night. He's been doing it a long ass time. McDonald, obviously, he had massive success quickly in Seattle. Minter over there in Baltimore, seemingly a very quick success story is a defensive-minded guy. Vrable.
I mean, we don't even have to get into rabble in his leadership style. And what he is as a defensive guy, I don't think we've ever had that conversation on this program. I appreciate you bringing that up. How many guys on the defensive side do you think are worthy of being, you know, head coaches, but also do you think there's less DCs than there is OCs at the current point of football? Probably. But I think what Mike's doing in Seattle, winning a Super Bowl, playing great defense, Jesse now in Baltimore, certainly he had a reputation coming in. He was in Baltimore before he won a national championship at Michigan. He goes out to the chargers, plays great defense there the last two years. Now he's the, you know, head guy in Baltimore and calling the defense there, you know, weavers his defensive coordinator, you know, it helps him immensely on that side of the ball. This is all cyclical. So like when Sean McVey, you know, hit the ground running in 2017 with the Rams, everybody was looking for the next Sean McVey. He's looking for a Shanahan tree, Sean McVey, right? And so it's kind of like trying to find a needle in the haystack with sometimes you hit on these guys, sometimes you don't. That's why we saw all the offensive guys because all the owners wanted, okay, what's the most important position on the team quarterback, quarterback, all right? So we need a guy that can whisper a quarterback, whisper guy that knows offense guy that can develop, all right, and communicate with the quarterback. So everybody went with with the offensive guys. So now defensively, again, Mike, Mike doing great, Jesse's going to do great. That's going to say ownership. Okay, guy comes in as a defensive coordinator. That side of it's fixed. Who's your offensive coordinator? And if he can say, hey, I've got this guy, I can go get Declan Doyle. He's going to run our offense. Boom, he's getting hired right now. Okay. So the defense might be the new lead sexy head coaching candidate because what McDonald's done, but also because what these offenses have been doing to a lot of these defenses, owners are sitting in suites watching their team just get absolutely drummed here to start the season. There is a thought we need to change that. Who can? Who can't go ahead, Connor? Yes, speaking of who can who can't among other reasons. But do you think because of that fact right there, like Sean McDermott and Mike Tomlin, probably the top two head coaching candidates going into next year, depending on what other gurus come up. And you think they're going to get hired immediately depending on how many jobs are available? 1000%. I mean, trying to find these guys is next to impossible. These guys are proven. One guy's 19 years at one spot, Tomlin, McDermott was what, 10, 11, whatever it was, and one title after title just couldn't get over the hump, absolutely. And mostly because of their proven track record out of both of them, and they're both defensive guys. So that helps as well. Yeah. I'm excited to see the trend of football continue to evolve this football season. Because if the defense does catch up to this offense, and we got 13 personnel in the field, I think we got a lot of smashing. I think we got a lot of physicality coming down the pipe whenever football starts to matter the most. AJ, you're expecting the same thing? Absolutely. It happens naturally, I think, as the homeless, I talked about yesterday, as it gets colder, rainy, windy, like, you're going to have to, you're going to have to be able to run the ball at some point when the other team knows you're going to run the ball and you've got to be successful. AJ, I like physicality. We like big-time hits. Love it. Everybody does. He's waiting after it. Yeah. He like people playing football away that you know makes football proud. Tough. What? Hard nose. What? Gritty. What? Electrifying. What? Foxy running. It's time. It's time for Ram Truck driven by Ram, obviously, it is back, shout out to Ram Trucks. If you're going to get a truck, a Ram Truck is the best one to get now. Not only you riding on clouds, but also you got enough power to pull whatever you need. That's right. And then whenever you hit that gas pedal with the beautiful engine that has been concocted to make you sound and look fantastic, all you hear of that gas pedal is, who got Ram Truck this last weekend. Well, let's head to a punt. Don't love this. My man. James Madison wire receiver. Miles Halbert blocks a Wagner punt. Oh. Jesus. I don't like it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't love it because it's a punter, but you can't help but go Ram Trucks. Yeah. He was like a Ram too with his head down. I don't know if you're loud. Head to hand contact like that. Okay. I don't know if that's. How about on the ball? Yeah. Balls. Yeah. I don't think that is allowed. I'd like to let the Wagner punter know. I love you, man. It is a damn shame that that happened to you. Thank you for being tough and taking that. This guy gets a shot. Yeah. It doesn't able to. And then they get a touchdown. The other way. He's a pie's out there. That is certainly a Ram Trucks. I don't like it. Nice protection. Yeah. I don't. It seems like Wagner forgot the block. Anybody can touch with your hands. Chuck Pagana, former special teams coach down at the U. And I believe a couple other places took a lot of pride in blocking kicks. Is that not accurate? Yeah. They didn't. I don't know what that scheme is, but that poor kid. He probably won't kick again. Oh, Vinnie. Vinnie. Vinnie. Vinnie. Vinnie Mucillo. He kicked into Michael Scott. He helped. He got one right in the Kulu. Right in the corner. And, and, and, and, broken, frickin leg. Yeah. And these toffee's back up. I helped me punch again. It's neither going to be worse than that. Please. Maybe. But on the other side. What a Ram Trucks. Let's go to the NFL. This man was caught in traffic a lot in a preseason. Said he was going to be a boss. Watch Sequan Barclay and Sonny Stiles. That's one-on-one linebacker running back. AJ, what a dream for the backer, especially get Sequan Barclay. Yeah, what a dream. I heard Sequan talk about this after the game. Yeah. He said, uh, low-man wins. Sonny's a giant. He said, but I would assume if I'm Sequan, I am going to cut him so hard. I'm going to see a guy, which is right down my face. I like the Sequan put his face in there. I do appreciate that. Obviously, he's MVP like player. Huge leader made a lot of money. He's going to get hit a lot. Him putting his face in the fan. I appreciate it. Sonny Stiles, putting that big body right through him is certainly a Ram Trucks. Yeah, especially if you watch the video when Sequan sits back up after he realizes what happened. Even, it feels like even he accepted it in the moment. Like, okay, yeah, this guy's just a freaking nature. Hands on his knees. Okay. So maybe we get tight end to come in and chip and let me go out into the flat here. I'm Sequan Barclay, but welcome back to NFL football. Sonny Stiles, congrats you getting a highlight. Yeah. There was a lot of low lights out there for Sonny Stiles. All pre-season. And certainly week one. Then the stiff arm. Her run. The world. Yeah. Donnell Mount Washington. Just throws another professional athlete two to three yards. That's about nine feet. This man got shot. Put it. Jesus. Through the grind at Acresher and Donnell Mount Washington is a man that we saw in Georgia. And if you see him in real life, he's left tackle. Then he's able to catch. He's able to move. People say his knees aren't good coming into the draft. It's like he's six, seven, three hundred pounds. His knees probably not going to be perfect because the way he can run. He's been a nice fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers. If they continue to use him in ways that he can be used, this is going to happen a lot. As Watts literally had no shot. No, no, no. Donnell Mount Washington town. You guys love him around there. We're going to continue to use him this year. Yeah. Yeah. He's unbelievable. He came in to camp actually down this year. They were talking on the broadcast. He was listed at 265. No one believes that on the broadcast. I don't think anyone believes that anywhere. He came out last year and said he was over 300. So we will see. But he did this last year. A bunch of times. He's a great six offensive lineman. He can catch the ball. He can run. I love. And he got paid this off season two. He is ram truck 25. Yes. It might be a 30. Yeah. It might be 35. The dolegs. The dolegs. Yeah. The dolegs. They still do probably. AJ, what do you do? Whatever a big man says. Get through the ground. What do you do there? I want to ask Chuck. What are you going to tell him right there? What do you tell your DB right there? Like you're watching film. What do you say? All right. All right. All right. Okay. Make a play next time. Yeah. Normally it's like, okay. Knock the stiff farm down first, right? I'm going to tell you guys. He's 350 pounds, we think his knees are just like built to be perfect like that, absolutely not. And I think he's probably been having knees stuff since high school, if I had to guess at that size with how athletic he is. So I liked that the Pittsburgh Steelers saw through that, say, hey, your knees always hurt. Yeah. Sick, dude. All right. Let's see how long they last, bro. Let's see what it is. And he's certainly done a great job. This is a, this is a different athlete, you know, it is a different athlete. He and Friar Mooth, DK and Pittman. Moff is playing football. You got some massive goods coming off the bus, the Pittsburgh Steelers are an intimidating front. I mean, that is just what they are. Can they piece it all together and be an electrifying offense to keep up with the defense? If don't know about Washington has anything you said it, and we got more RAM. There's a chance you need to get him to ball and maybe put him in the backfield tone. That'd be sick. Well, yeah, we could do like a Heisman style package with Aaron and Moff in the backfield. That'd be sick. I would sign me up. This has the ass of a Clyde steel. He looks like that. What's that? The human with the horse. Centaur? Centaur. Centaur, yeah. It kind of has a right. Centaur looked to him. It's kind of obnoxious, actually, how big his quads, hamstrings and gluteus maximus are. I assume his gluteus medius and all the other ones are gigantic as well. But it's, it's an alarming, this proportional size to what his body is supposed to be with his caboose. And then DK Metcalfe is an alarmingly jacked human being. Freak of nature. Darnell Washington is an alarmingly athletic offensive lineman, okay, is what he is. And then Michael Pittman, Jr. will throw his face into a brick wall to catch a ball. And he also, six, three or whatever, six, I mean, they are monsters over there. Is that Mike McCarthy wants big bodies? Is that what you think he wants? Yeah. And Nick Sabin talked about that all the time, like who beats small football players, like big players, always like you want the bigger, faster, stronger player, you know, fell to have guys that stand out like that against other NFL players. That's what's crazy because they're all the biggest humans alive and now these guys stand above all of them. I am Michael Carly also. We're big ballers. He is a big ballers. He is a big ballers. Like big ballers. You know, the chess match is interesting to watch when they put Mooth and this guy out on the field, 12 personnel. How are you going to defend it? You're going to put Bay's defense out there or you're going to play nickel, everybody wants to play nickel, right? And if you got a big nickel like Kyle Hamilton's there, you can get away with it. But most people don't have that, dude, you know, they got one up in Seattle, you mind worry, right? They got that guy. They got Durwin James at the chargers. So if you put a base out there, what they do with these big athletes is they'll go to empty on you and then get the mismatch they want in the past game. Got a linebacker on tight end 100% you can't cover them. You know, and then if you play nickel, they honk her down and just run it down your throat. All right. News out of the Pittsburgh Steelers today, Joey Porter Jr. left the field with a trainer during the portion of practice, open a media before that he participated in some individual drills. Mike McCarthy said prior practice that today's plan was for Porter Jr. to increase his workload from yesterday. He was full participant, I believe yesterday or they were the most that he's ever done this year. Okay. So maybe the injury actual real and lingering or maybe there is some other conversations being had nonetheless, Pittsburgh Steelers would love to have Joey Porter Jr. on the field for them. And Joey Porter Jr. would love to get paid like a corner of his caliber supposed to get paid. Obviously classic stare down happening between family. That is very respected in Pittsburgh amongst the Steelers organization and an organization that does not negotiate during the season, like this is just not what we do. So what's the standoff, is this actual injury long term? We thought maybe him getting back to practice was assigned to others like, hey, he can play. He's good. Maybe for trade or for him, we will continue the monitor situation that was relatively quiet throughout all of training camp now kind of growing some legs. Speaking of growing some legs, there's a story that came out from an LSU injury report starting quarterback for the LSU Tigers prime transfer portal signing from Lane Kiffin immediately upon arriving down there and realizing he doesn't have Trinidad Chamblis. He's listed as doubtful after some stiffness, I believe some soreness, a back leg came in, I mean, who knows what this could be. Another thing on this initial injury report, you got Whitwick's listed in number 40. He's actually number seven. So a lot of people say, is this real? What is real? What isn't real? Joining us now, man, who will tell us what's real and what's not? The authority for college football, ladies and gentlemen from college game day and also ESPN.com, Pete Fammall, Pete Fammall, obviously LSU Ole Miss, Lot of tension, lot of hype, lot of story lines, another one potentially, Lane Kiffin doing a little, how you doing? We don't know who's playing or is this a potential real problem for LSU who don't have the quarterback that was potentially going to lead them all the way this year. Well, Pat, I know how much you enjoy Quagmire's and Conundrum's. I think we're going to end up filing this one under Shakenery. Sure, sure. Lane Kiffin has a long and colorful history of taking liberties on injury reports. And I do not doubt, in fact, I know that Sam Levitt was limited in practice yesterday, but there's still a widespread expectation that Sam Levitt will start in play on Saturday night in Oxford. In Oxford, I recall two times, I believe, that Lane Kiffin listed 26 different players on the injury report for a Kentucky game and I believe a Georgia game while he was at Ole Miss. So, as someone who traffics in these injury reports, I've always appreciated his creativity and his insistence that we all stay on our toes. But there is nothing that has led me to believe that this is going to impact him trotting out there and taking the first nap. Well, listen, I appreciate the gamesmanship. I'll show hate it. I haven't slept now in two days because this is a quarterback for the team that everybody's talking about. I'll show game days there. So now we've got executives involved, he's starting quarterback going to be here. What is happening? And Pete, you're just trying to figure out what's real and what isn't. Love that that is even a thing. What are the rules? Like when does he have to actually declare the report for what it actually is versus being able on a Wednesday to say, "Our entire offense is doubtful." Yeah, I don't know, man, think about it, Pete Golding over there. Even though I assume everybody at Ole Miss has the same thoughts as all of us as soon as we saw this. There still is a little something to it, is how you think Lane views it? And when do we know the truth here in this injury report? What are the rules? Well, the truth will reveal itself at, I think, 7.30 on Saturday night, right, padded always does. So I got a text from Semonet Ole Miss this afternoon and they said, "Oh, typical Lane Kiffin Wednesday injury report, right? Like they lived this with him, so nobody knows better than the people at Ole Miss of the shakainery, if you will, that Lane likes to, the games that Lane likes to play here. The rules are, I believe, a doubtful designation is less than a 25% chance to play. That's off time I had. You are subject to fine if you manipulate the report, but there's also, like, he was limited in practice yesterday, so I don't think we end up in that world. It's an interesting time for Lane to be poking the SEC bear considering, you know, they filed against federally accord about 10 days ago or two weeks ago, whatever it was. But he's Lane Kiffin, he likes to touch the stove. God bless him, never change Lane. Each thing is interesting for people who host a daily talk show, Pat, I believe that was your line. Last week. Yeah, it's very real. Yeah, we got a lot to talk about. He certainly provides it. So much shakainery. Yeah, a lot of shakainery. So much shakainery, which is the use of clever dishonest talk, trickery, or legal sufficiency to deceive people and gain an unfair advantage, Pete, I believe you doubt it. This is potentially shakainery and we will certainly keep Sam Levitts in our positive prayers for his Godspeed comeback, especially if Morgan Freeman's going to be there. Voice of God, certainly going to want him around any potential injuries now. Gambling happening with the heightened ratings, viewings becoming clearly the number two sport in the world behind NFL football. Ty has a question for you. Yeah, Pete, taking all that stuff into account, is there any plan that college football is going to maybe transition to more of like an injury report like the NFL does where we have a pretty clear picture of guys and whether or not they're actually going to play before Sunday. So that gambling and all that stuff doesn't come into play and that can of worms, if you will, is never opened. From your lips to God's ears, Ty, right? That would certainly be that. But if you haven't noticed, people in college sports have trouble-making rules and enforcing rules. So as Pollyannish is that notion that you just sound, until anyone's punished doing anything in college sports, whether it's cap circumvention or anything, it's hard to imagine hard and fast rules. I do think we've come a long way with these injury reports in a short period of time and there's, you know, it's an effort for transparency and I just think the gambling is real and it's a reason behind all this, though it may not be, though it may not be overtly stated, I do really think it's, you know, it's a multi-billion dollar industry in college footballs, a giant part of it. So, yeah, the NFL, it's certainly a little more linear and they also, but look at the NFL, NFL is just going to find, dude, it's big amounts of money and at a certain point, if everyone feels the same way about, you know, potential punishments, then they're going to, you know, they're going to follow the rules a little bit better. But I do think that's a good thing.
there's probably a little bit of shiitainery in the NFL reports, right? Am I right? - Yeah, we just found out Miles Garrett's going on the IR for four weeks because he had a swollen knee all off season, but we didn't really know it. So yes, there is some shiitainery in the injury reporting, but there is like a do we need to hear and we want to know everything. The NHL, you just say what part, like upper body, lower body, you don't really get to hear it 'cause they just kind of do their thing. College football, a lot of eyes, obviously injuries matter, especially at the quarterback position. If you lie, the SEC does have the right to find you 25,000 bucks in the first offense, 50,000 for the second offense, 100,000 for the third offense in any season. - Whoa! - Yeah, 100,000. - And so they're never gonna mess around with that. - Never, never, yeah. Lane knows that, Lane knows that. He wouldn't want to dance in there or dabble. Okay, last question about this particular game comes from AJ. Go ahead, Huckle. - Pete, yeah, what are you hearing as far as the atmosphere that we're gonna see this weekend in Ole Miss? We know all of the craziness and the security they're talking about, like, is this a real situation? What do you think it's gonna be like the first time Lane walks out of that tunnel and gets on that field? - Yeah, AJ, I think this is the most anticipated atmosphere in the 20 plus years I've done this in terms of just pure unilaterated hatred, right? Like, I don't think there's ever been a scenario where there's one singular figure who has been hated as Lane Kiffin is in Oxford. His departure pierced the soul of the school of the community and of the entire state, right? And, you know, in the way it dragged out, I don't know if it reminds you guys, you do a daily talk show. The way it dragged out was just a big giant mess. He has said he regretted the way he handled it. You know, he tried to have his cake and eat it too, essentially, by staying for the playoff. It didn't work. And, you know, essentially, when that all unfolded, that final Saturday night when Marty Smith was turning into a meme and we were all kind of waiting for the team meeting for it to happen. From that point on, everyone had this game, now they hadn't scheduled it yet. Hats off, you know, tip of the cap to the SEC schedule is for putting this right at the start of the conference season so we could really, you know, enjoy and relish this in the early point. So there will be increased security in Oxford for mountain police. There will be the normal Louisiana State trooper presence that comes with this. There will be an increased sheriff's deputies presence that comes with this. And then the Mississippi State Highway Patrol, I believe, released something that said they're going to have 65, 70 more cars yesterday. So the security will be ratcheted up to, you know, as high of a level as I have never recall covering a game where the amount of security was this big of a storyline. And there were just all these different entities saying, you know, how much more security it's going to be. So let's just hope everybody, you know, nobody does anything dumb. And we can just get between the lines and play football on Saturday night. Yeah, I'm pumped for it all. I'm pumped for the game day atmosphere, you know, because I don't think they're the biggest fans of, you know, how everything went down with our particular program as well, you know, last year. That was a huge piece of the talking point of it all. So that starts 9 a.m. Eastern. Can't wait to be in there. Oh my god, can't wait to be in there. Thankful for the opportunity, obviously. Okay, last question about the biggest game of the weekend down there in Oxford. Last time those two teams, let alone all the drama storyline, the backstabbing and all everything, you know, that is being alluded to and sweeping of buildings for cameras and poaching of talented coaches and how much to hate each other. The last time they were both ranked in the top 10, 1962. Wow, whenever they're playing against each other. So you got the best versions of these teams going against each other with the best storyline right now in a hate in college football should be a magical Saturday as it always is. Now, there was an article that came out in the athletic, that we're looking for a little clarity on. Go ahead, Con, man. Yeah, Pete, past talking about the article about the college football spending, basically ranging between 8 million to 50 million, all the rosters and the cost of them. How accurate is this? Was there anything that you saw on here that surprised you that you thought, yeah, probably a little too high, maybe a little too low? And is there anything that you take away from this that makes you think something about the future of college football? Yeah, I think those generally and they were cast by the athletic as estimates. I think they were, they were generally right. I got to call from someone at Boston College that said, hey, we weren't 13 million or 16 million, all right? Like, you know, we're not as, it's not as low as it is. Because nobody ever wants to be the highest vendor of the lowest vendor, right? Everyone wants to be, everyone wants to be somewhere in the middle. But look, there's always chicane ring, if you will, when it comes to this stuff, right? Do you list the number that they're paid, guaranteed? Do you list the number with bonuses? The agents bump the number up. It's like in the NFL, like when somebody signs a big deal. Like, is it the guaranteed money or do you include all the bonus money? Is it that? Is it up to? So there's ways that these things can be, can be nebulous. But nothing stood out looking at the chart in the report of that. It's like, well, they're way off there, you know, with the, with the particular school. I think the teams we know that spend are the spenders as, as they listed them. And then, you know, the have nots are, are not, are not spending as much. I would love, Connor, if we actually have transparency in this stuff, you know, like there on the NFL, no one sits around and says, you know, what does Josh Allen actually make? No, it's like, it's tied to a very sophisticated system. And you know, like to the nickel, exactly what he ends up making. And that just leads to a less convoluted system. More college football to advance in this, in this world, transparency does need to come that you can't work in shadow markets. It's just, it's, it's foolish. And it, it, it makes difficult things to enforce, unenforceable until there is, until there is full transparency. That's right. Hey, I'll tell you what, difficult things to enforce, unenforceable, because of the current situation is certainly a beautiful way to describe it. I don't know if you've heard, I don't know if you've heard. Allegedly that act has got some votes. Really? It's got some, it's still amendable too, right? From my, from the last rate of tweet from somebody that knows more than I do. So maybe we'll be able to make this thing into what everybody wants, because we're, by we, I don't have anything. Maybe college, the thing is able to do it as a whole. But what, it's every commissioner, Pete Pavakula is in there. The NFL player, is it the NFL PA, is it not, or the NFL? It might be the NFL PA. NFL, like every Yankees or something. Yeah, right, he's living, he's a president of the Yankees. By partisan, allegedly, right, I don't know what that means. So if anything was to happen, this might be it, especially because it's still amendable, allegedly. So some of the things that are maybe holding people back are able to, we need something, because if not, you know. Pete doesn't look like he's sold on it. What do you think, Pete? They're pretty clear in my skepticism, and we won't have any sense of this, so ultimately if it passes the Senate, and there's a bunch of amendments that are going to bad it around, and who knows what's going to happen. Nothing's going to happen till after Election Day, which is obviously an early, early November. But the, the house, especially if it flips as it projects, too, is going to be a, that is going to be tricky. So look, it's alive, and, by the way, I didn't think it would be alive at this point. And that there's still a bunch of big issues to drill down on. But again, college forts in Congress, two entities that rarely get things done. So if now they're combining forces, we'll see if it happens. But there's a lot more politics that can come into play here. So there is an increased chance. And it's probably last time we talked about it, but a long, long way to go still pass. I like that it's still amendable, because maybe we can make the bill that everybody would like. And I don't know enough about it, but good luck to everybody in the process of voting for it, and figuring it out for the good of college sports, which are incredible for the future. Because it does feel like if you look at that athletic graph, which is there's going to be a separate, just in football, that normally the middle class kind of gets eliminated, right? Isn't that kind of what inevitably ends up happening? So if there was some way to make sure that everybody's playing maybe in at least the same universe, I think that would be good for football. But let alone all the other sports that are potentially going to have to fall by the wayside because of ridiculous spending in one sport or another in sports somewhere else. So we hope it happens. We hope that everybody who's pissed off about it can make some amendments or project some amendments that could maybe fix it. And let's hope that politics are able to do something good for sports. And they're back from recess, Pat. So the world is their oyster. I do like that. I got some messages from some politicians that didn't necessarily appreciate the way I was describing their recess. You know, like some people's offices said, you know, recess is a very important time to get back with the constituents and kind of learn what everybody wants, which I certainly said. But I also said, well, you have an ice cream, keep playing kickball, doing a little monkey bars, get your fucking asses back in there. We got a lot of stuff going on. But none, I don't know, you know, just you guys do your things, we need it. Last thing before we let you go quickly, Steve Belichick has resigned from the North Carolina Tar Heels football team. He had been on a medical leave since August 6th. Bill Belichick was asked about it. He said, I love my family. I'm not going to talk about a medical situation. I think it's kind of been left at that hasn't been around. Obviously, they show hope. They have Clemson this weekend and three and a half point dogs. What does this tell you with Steve Belichick resigning? Michael Dombardi resigning and then that investigation happening. What do we think this means for coach Bill Belichick and UNC Tar Heels at this point? Well, not a surprise, right Pat? And you have two significant resignations in the month of September between Michael Dombardi, the general manager and now Steve Belichick. So I don't think this impacts anything on Saturday. He hasn't been with the team since early August dealing with that health issue. I think for Bill Belichick going forward and UNC going forward.
There was a pretty significant thing I felt like in the internal investigation statement that they released today. First of all, the investigation is resolved and that's the word they used. And the quote was it determined that certain actions demonstrated disregard for Carolina's values, et cetera. And they also found the actions were isolated in scope in not a systemic failure. So I think there had been a perception that perhaps this internal investigation could jam up the billbellichet. He has one guarantee to your left hand. In fact, it's $10 million that's still a lot of money, although not nearly the scope of the Mike Norvelles and Davos in the biodes that we've been discussing. But to me, that statement said, this billbellichet hands are washed to this and you just move forward coaching football. So again, it's hard to cast it as good news, but the key does not appear to be directly in that investigation, which is now closed. So yeah, it'll be on to Clemson. Because Atlantic article, I think that breaks down from the other side on how the view is on what has happened since billbellichet has become the head coach at UNC, fascinating stuff across the board. We appreciate the hell out of you. That's the authority. I'll see you down in Oxford. Ladies and gentlemen, Pete. Tamil. We were going to do Chuck's pick, but we had to obviously get all that information in there for the sake of journalism. So what we will do is at the beginning of next hour, Chuck Pagano will be making his-- Okay. Cool. All right. That we will be making our official pick. Okay. And at that point, because at 157 Eastern Time, about two minutes from right now, our super boost will be going live on draft kings. Now, draft kings available across the country. If you haven't been able to utilize draft kings because you're in a state that didn't legalize sports gambling, welcome to draft kings. It is a great time. Now, on that note, the only way can be a great time is if you are of age and you are agreed to gamble responsibly, okay? That is a huge deal. That is a big part of this entire process. We do not want you joining us if you do not agree to be responsible. Yeah. Right. And we don't want that, Connor. No. Mostly because it's not safe for you. It's not safe for sports gambling. But we don't want to hear too from you that you are an asshole with our super boost. And now, your problems are now on me. It's like-- No. It's just to make the game a little bit more interesting. Make the game a little bit better. That is one of our super boosts is one rushing touchdown, one passing touchdown for each team. People are expecting a lot of points, tone, final read on our super boost that goes live in about a minute on draft kings. Yeah. We've talked about today how prolific, prolific, sorry, these offenses are-- and how many points they score, obviously, both of these teams scoring more than 30 points last week. All we need is one rushing touchdown, one passing touchdown from each of these teams tonight, boosted to 150. It's a great boost tonight. Yeah. I'm a pretty big fan of it. It's not a guarantee. No, then none of them are. None of them are a guarantee. It's gambling. Can't expect that out of us. Definitely not a guarantee. One touchdown on the ground. On the ground? Mm-hmm. And-- One touchdown through the sky. She's close this. That's four. That's four. Total touchdowns. Okay. So the last time these two teams played, they scored 12 total. Boom! So you tell me-- Uh-oh. Not a guarantee. Be responsible. Not a guarantee. Not a guarantee. Don't be a dumbass and chase money. Thank you. Don't do that. Because none of us need that. Because we enjoy this. And when you do that, you ruin it for all of us. So just agree. To do it responsibly. Join us. And let's beat them tonight. Yeah. Go. We're back tomorrow kicking off a fantastic Friday. Be a friend to have friends. I'm nice. My change of life. Goodbye. It's a big day. It's a big day. It's a big day. It's big. It's great. Breaking down. That's a big place. It's a big day. It's a big day. With big shrugs. Breaking down. That's a big place. Are we ever going to be able to watch that show? I don't think so. Right. Not. They read it back at three o'clock. Yep. A.M.? No, P.M. Yesterday. Because I guess something went down up in Bristol. Oh, no. They had-- Is it real, okay? I believe NBA today was up. And then something went down. So then they rerun big day with big shrugs. From my understanding. And then all of a sudden we did have baseball. There was a post game baseball on ESPN. And then our logo showed up on ESPN. Just like that. It was just sitting on ESPN. As we're sitting over here. We're watching ESPN. Love what's going on. Convo, Convo. We see our logo to the left. Which is normal for one of the screens over there. Because we need to see what's in the feed. See it on the big feed. See the ESPN ticker. We're still talking. I think I've been some-- Is that our shit? Are we on ESPN? Is that our shit? Is that our shit? Are we on ESPN? Are we on ESPN right now? Turn on the sound. What is the sound? No sound? Sweet. Put on the pack. Turn me on. Go sprint over there. Okay. Put my ears on. We're-- Cut to me. We're on ESPN. I'm putting my ears on. About the microphone. We have no idea why we are live right now. We just want to let you know. Joe Burrow says he's okay. We're going to get right into it. We're going to do another show. Cut us off. Go to commercial break. And if I live on the other side. It was a technically-- technologically, I believe there was some stuff. You know, that has been happening. And we just need to understand-- I mean, everybody like attacks everybody whenever it happens. Tech is kind of just doing tech right now. Yep. And we're all just kind of-- Cut into what's been going on. And these people that have resigned from gigs talking about what's going to happen. Okay. That's AI. He's talking about AI and what's been happening. I know. But maybe they are doing that. But tech nowadays is like hopping on the back of the bull that's up there in Buffalo. Sure. That's dirty. With nothing. I mean, it's just-- Not even the string that the bull riders have. Okay. You don't even have that. It's so powerful. It could be so great. You could maybe put together the best ride of all time. But there's a chance that that thing's just going. And you don't have no idea how or why it happened. You're done? Yeah, you're done. And then you just got to hope that it lets you back on there at some point faster than not. Because what I've learned is when tech has a glitch, when tech has a glitch, the people that even created the tech have no idea. Yeah. I'm bugging. Yeah, restart it. Shouldn't do that. Shouldn't do that. Yeah. Should not do that. I think you should just maybe take it out, put it back in or whatever. Restart it, refresh it. See if that's what it is. But that's certainly not supposed to happen. So sorry about that. Is there anything we could do right now to fix? No. It should fix itself. I mean, it's been built to fix itself kind of. So you might have to wait a few minutes. How many minutes? See. It could be four or five hours weeks. Could be four or five minutes. Yeah, we have no idea. But it should fix itself. That's where we are with tech right now. And especially whenever you're talking about input, switcher, camera, audio, blah, blah, blah. It's computers everywhere. You've got computers literally everywhere doing it. So I think it will get figured out. But beginning of football season, I think there is a lot, I think there's a lot happening to a lot of things. So hopefully they'll settle in. And we're only saying hopefully they'll settle in, strictly because I think that's even the people that own it are saying that, yeah. It'll learn. We'll get a figure out. It'll figure it out. It'll kind of figure it out. It's an interesting little time to be alive right now. Tech better than ever. But then also. Right. Most devastating. Yeah. As it could possibly be. They all got to communicate and they all have to be intertwined. Like, it just makes me think, how the hell do we have a live phone call to the moon to the present? And 19 things were a lot simpler. But they were NASA, the telemetry. We've went over this about a hundred fucking times. I don't know why you got to keep bringing this up. You mother fuckers. That was analog, brother. I'm not playing every chance you get. Hey, you know what? I think I'm going to be a cock sucker today. That's exactly what you say coming in every time. You bring this up at least once. If I believe you lay down the moon tight. How many times do we got to say it? Huh? Huh? Space race. We won. Telemetry. What else needs? Clear. Clear phone call. NASA just did a fly over a crystal. It was zero sound telephone. I like that NASA is doing flyovers now. I do. Zero sound. Yeah, I think they certainly had a advance for 2026. We get back to 1969. It was a super clear phone call. Crystal. I'm struggling to do that in the Thunderdome. Well, that's because not everybody else had cell phones jamming up all the phone calls. Well, yeah, exactly. Analog much simpler times back then. You introduced digital. You introduced all this stuff. It obviously muddies the waters a little bit. Did we have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or anything at the time? Didn't need it. Wi-Fi. Did you just. There's no internet. Well, I'm just saying. I just wondered how we're able to connect to the fucking moon. But we weren't able to connect from Omaha and Nebraska to Indianapolis. I just. It just so happened to the moon at that particular time when they made the phone call was literally directly above. Tell me planned it, of course. Yeah, exactly. That's NASA. Again, that's the lemon tree. That's the fucking. That's the slingshot method. And everything we know about now. So he basically. You think that's true? Oh, ho, ho, ho. Cut it out. The smartest mind in our country. Talk to him, Chuck. You guys hate America, huh? Yeah. Not me! Oh, like you do. No, it's not me. I'm just wondering. This chucking piece of shit does apparently. I don't know. I mean, what? Yeah, one small step for man. One Johnny. I mean, you were in a high school. You were in high school when it happened. Like, you tell us, Chuck. Yeah. Yeah, it is 25. You watched the goddamn thing. I missed that. We were. We were doing some other stuff. 1969. Bro and Dubies? Were you a hippie, Chuck? I grew up in Boulder, Colorado. Oh, yeah. Around a lot of Dubies. Oh, my God. What year's. What decade, the '60s, you're in? Yeah. Born in '60. Oh, so '70s were more so your. I must name this son, dooby. I was amongst the people because my mom was. I worked up on the hill, right next to the University of Colorado and that's where all the hippies were. So you picked me up, dropped me off afterwards because Dad was coaching and so I had to stay with her up on the hill and I was on my own with the hippies. Yeah. I was learning the stroke. Did you throw rocks at him? Streets were. No, he didn't throw. He tapped them off. He could speak. I know. He was against him. They were all about no war and streaking was big back then, I mean a lot. He loved that. He was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was a little bit of a hooligan and he was in your eyes, but there's a lot of things that people are like, yeah, if you're told you're going to die, you won't say anything. And it's like, uh, okay. Well, how often's that happened? All the time, brother. And it's like, well, maybe they can give people not to say anything. Not fucking John Glenn, not Buzz Aldrin. Thank you. Neil Armstrong from Wapakineto, Ohio, but he's not lying. If and why you always bringing it up, Dickhead, you're the one who's trying to fucking piss on his legacy. I am not talking about the moon leaning itself. I'm talking about the technology. Once we were there to make the phone call that just don't question it then. That's all you can't tell me that in some America. I'm going to question. You have to. He just called Houston and Houston put him into the capsule communicator, which is how Houston was talking to the astronaut. And he just plugged it right in analog like everyone's saying simple. If they went and why don't the astronauts swear on the Bible that they did it. It's right. Well, you talk about why do they? That's why I want to shit canary. Why won't they do it? That is some shit canary right there. But you're right. There are certainly some things. Why don't you say? How do we know their Catholic? Some of them. Yeah. We don't know. They don't want to be forced to do that. If they're not Catholic, then they wouldn't they wouldn't have any problem with doing it. No, it's because it's fucking church state and you don't fucking mix those two things up. Period child, the pleasure of allegiance. Thank you. Clay Travis actually just launched. No, I know he did. I know he did. He actually is kind of mixing the church of state over here. He could do that. He's from South. They do whatever the fuck they want down there. They do mix church. They stay down there. Good luck to him. You'd like to him certainly as he dabbles in a world that certainly has a lot of a lot of heat. Did you see that? I'm Hulk Hogan. Yeah, did crazy. Congratulations. What? I'd like to see this. What happened? I sent it into the group. You probably were coaching one of the four teams that you're coaching, but there's a deep dive in the me and Hulk Hogan be the same fucking God brother. Yeah, cool. And I'll tell you what, I started believing that. I guess that didn't buy it initially. And then when he kind of did the slow burns effect from the Hulkster into you, I was like, holy shit, you are Hulk Hogan. Congrats, dude. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, me. He's 22 inch Python's brother. Oh no, I did a leg drop. I should have been doing it. Nick could not wait to get this up. Nick could not wait to get this lower third up. My man here, the immortal Hulk Hogan explains who he is. And then obviously all the different numbers. Coating and one third fallen angels and, you know, everything, deep internet, deep, deep internet stuff, which we certainly know the ins and outs of because we have grown up in the internet. He falls on, did you know me and the Hulkster terribly are birthdays, 33 years, interesting number. Yeah, okay. Eight months. Interesting number because eight actually, if you look at it, that is just two, three is kind of. Oh, wow. Flip back and forth, is it? Okay. And then 21 days, I believe two plus one. That's another whole. There's another three. Okay. So if you do the math here, it's 33 years. That's three, three. Okay. Then the eight is two, three. So that's three, three, three, three. And then 21. That's two plus one. That's another three. That's a coincidence. Yeah. What has seen after that? Well, John's obviously three. Oh, the three is doing a three. I was doing a three. Do you hold up the three? I do not. I was not shown in there. It's not the diamond cutter. Yeah, I mean, it was a four. And now the follow-up is going to be us laughing about this because they do it right in your face. Yeah, exactly. What happened with me and Hulk when we were on the same state? He came in here one of his last live interviews. You guys were never on camera together. That's when you guys morphed. Yeah, you weren't together. I never did see you guys both at the same time. Okay, we got run back. Can you please pull up the photos of me and Hulk? Yeah, AI is hell of a drug. Just know that it is cool to be at this stage of whatever wheel. I thought those just I were in the Hulk. Yeah. Could have been wise wasn't it? Yeah, with the bottom of the Mitchell's. I mean, especially this is for people are going to look at this photo and say it's AI, you know, yeah. I mean, look, you guys aren't even the same route. There's no way. Yeah. Where's the mouth of the South? He got the other photo. Please. There's another one in there. Obviously, just that's AI in there. Yeah, there's another one. Please. Here's here's me and in Terry Bolilla, Mr. Hulk Hogan. And he brought real American beer in brother. Look at this. Look at this. AI slot. I mean, come on now. That's a real photo. That's right. The same thing. The three dollar bill. We know that. Oh, wow. Three dollar bill. Wow. No, three. Oh, no. I didn't even think about it. Yeah, that's that's the problem. Hey Jay, because you don't have to think about it. Look at this. Look at this basketball. He just hoping. How about how about D. Butts question? I had no idea you're an NBA fair. We're in Kevin Durayitz. Is that normal? No, bro. Not all dudes. Oh, he's black guy. Do smooth butter. No, he did not say that on our show. He's so many words to be clear. He loves on the Mitchell loved. He did. He was hilarious through the entire process of that whole thing. Just at all. Us asking him to have any regrets just with everything. It's kind of out there and him being like, oh, I don't know actually. Yeah, I do have one. I was actually thinking the other day. It's like, well, what? We were pretty excited because it was all pretty topical at the time of everything that happened in the past. He goes, sleeper brother. What am I eat? I don't like this. I don't know who did. What do you mean that we just did that photo shoot last week? No, we did not hold the real American. Five for the rise of every man. Five for the rise. Five for your life. Do do do do do do do do. Do do do do do brother. We actually created that. Yeah, it's get to a break. If you ever return, please come out. It's a hawk sir. Are you going to hope that I'm not going to die for Karaoke? I've been there brother a bunch. You know, you were running hot in L.A. too for a bit. I was running hot. We've got all the boys. Yep. That dude watching that though, just watching it and knowing people that certainly will believe that. Yep. Okay. It was like, wow, pretty cool to get to this part of life here at this point. You know, that was my big takeaway because we are internet humans. So everything in there, obviously, we're pretty well versed in all of it and just piecing it all together. I'm like, holy fuck, I've become one of these. What a time to be alive. Yeah, brother. Yeah, exactly. What an honor. That's a pinnacle. Yep. That's here, DJ. Oh, man. I can't. I don't want to, uh, you know, disrespect you slash the hawkster. Rest in peace. Thank you. Rest in peace. The macho man who made a really mean song about me. They did. They did. Now that I'm thinking about it. Good song, but be a man. Hulk. Well, trying to be cup times. Now, if people were saying it was you, that would be vastly different. Oh, you know, I mean, now that is something that maybe one is supposed to be the real hawk there. Exactly. If I would kind of buy into this, if this was kind of happening. Look at how low your belt is. What do you mean? It's just perfect. Thank you. How's Jimmy doing? The modern song. Not great. No, in a long time. Let's get to a break on the other side. We'll make our picks. It is crazy to be at this stage of life. Lucky and thankful to be here. There should be people that believe that for the rest of their lives now. No doubt. So I got to make sure I live up to the building. Exactly. I'm going to take all my vitamins. I'm going to project. I'm going to get super tanned up. Super tanned up. But I'm going to do it. Do it right here. My regret is not going to be nobody's going to be wondering what my regrets are. Okay. All right. Let him just melting my face. Look at this fucking guy. Face what?
Hmm. Interesting. Yeah. And it was. It was. The other one was what, Magic Johnson and AI maybe. Yeah. Who was it? You were a magic dancer. No, he said 33 years, eight days, or eight months, 21 days difference with somebody else as well. Two celebrities. So how come the last two people I searched just have a say, he said, yep, one time, like me and Hulk Hogan and this guy are the last two people you searched. It was that's awesome. It's got hits bat 1000 mm-hmm. We'll see I guess all we said is day job. Oh, yeah It's got a lot of all these killing it. We'll see whether you're Hulk Ogan. Is that what we will see? Yeah, I guess we'll find out real time brother Okay, I'm excited. We already know. Yeah, wait. Oh Shut up Chuck Don't you be feeding into this guy stuff Chuck you knew me when I wasn't Hulk Ogan You knew me when I was just a young little lad trying to find my way love that guy. Yeah, who Chuck's now don't do that What are you gonna say? Eight months 21 days Harry who Dini no worse way worse He was on the wrong side at WW2. All right, let's get to a break Really I didn't know that why do we got a minute? Oh, man Chuck and bastard boy. Let's get to a break, please. Okay, let's get to a break Bruce is watching a whole video down here on his computer. Yeah, I don't doubt it. Yeah, I'm watching this guy breaking me down right here In this interesting 33 years eight months 21 days Who else you and then looked the video universe told me three minutes and 33 seconds Now he talked right through that. Yep, but that time definitely did exist at one point during the video There is beyond magic. That's what it was beyond a magic age. He's a deep thinker. He's a deep thinker He's a deep thinker and I appreciate him looking into it. He's the the fittest flat earther the fittest flat earther Got a bunch of followers. Oh, yeah, remember that scratches a lot of it just so many Especially out of covid when people are just kind of in their houses only on the internet Dominate We lost a lot of good people out there. Yeah, we did. They're still in there. Oh, yeah, and I'll tell you what every time something they believe comes right true They're only going in there even more exactly right. I guess wall learning real-time whether or not Yeah Exactly You know the nature You are you you are good in the ring to be clear. I did pitch for one of my matches Look obviously everything kind of unfolds in real-time in the ring. Yeah, yeah But my plan for the end of one of my wrestling matches Yeah, was a leg drop to win it. Yep, talk leg drop brother, which I don't even know at the time Maybe that was whole coke insane Dude a leg drop brother. Okay, it's a finisher. I don't do it. I didn't know it in real time You're saying that but I certainly had planned on Punt leg drop one two three. You could guess who that one was probably against the Mike It might change their life on the other side. We make our make our picks for tonight We are so thankful that football is back. It's gonna be another weekend of spectacular ball across the board We'll chuck finally get on the chuck and right side of things better. We shall see. Well, why don't we take Five Is the greatest that that's AJ hawk. He's won a title in college and in the NFL and in high school He was running back linebacker punter. Yeah, and one gave me a two touchdowns on offense 30 tackles on defense in average 50 yards upon Wow, it's that right AJ holy shite now that wouldn't be correct. I was very inconsistent putter I went hit 160 yards and then I'll pop one of the stands, you know directly to the left Maybe even negative yard. Oh, okay, so that would have been 30 yard average there You could have still potentially got yourself up to 50 if you would have had a multiple punts But he's not putting a lot because he was a running back and he was scoring touchdowns all over the place And then was 33 tackles the number that we saw on the plaque at centerville high school in Ohio I don't know if it's on a plaque or anything, but it's possible I was credited with that many with my my great linebacker coach Larry Nolf Singer who passed away earlier this year He was very generous as far as tackles. Well, Russ and peace obviously trying to get the eyes of the buck eyes on the centerville Elk AJ hawk anytime he was around a pile He's certainly getting a tackle stat. That's why if you have 42 snaps at linebacker in an NFL game You should record some sort of stat. Yeah, just at some point. Yeah, we isn't almost More impressive like this is if you're to do a full weekend slate of picks and you get zero right. Yes, that's like a pretty That's pretty impressive feet to be able to just not blindly get one right. Yes, 42 snaps zero stats At the linebacker position That's almost pretty good now, you know what I mean I've almost come full circle saying like has that ever happened before in a football game I don't know AJ. I genuinely don't know Maybe like in all the passing situations he had such lockdown coverage that the quarterback wouldn't even look his way So he's not getting any PB user pick Lamar through for 400 yards or something like yeah, I don't know if there was any lockdown Happen in there on that. That's nine year. Oh, sorry 37 year football coach 18 in college 19 in the pros my former hate coach Chuck Pogano Coach, we're talking about the Indianapolis coach right now I didn't want to get into it because obviously there's a big game tonight on Thursday football primed Talks to table at boss of Connor and that Ty Schmitt you guys look great one at the hammer down Cowboys AP tone is here, but coach. It's hard not to talk about the quotes. Obviously we live in this city I'm a seasoned ticket holder your former head coach of the team. We obviously love the family that owns the team We love all that that looked down right terrible. I mean it looked ass out there by the Indianapolis coats But it was spectacular to get to watch Lamar Jackson kind of do his thing He was operating at a level that I don't know if I've ever seen from him But certainly not a quarterback that's walked into the lighthouse Especially with this new era of team and they just dismantled us that demoralized us just demolished the Indianapolis Colts they were ddd and all over us. They flowers goes for 150 doesn't even finish the game Derek Henry obviously goes crazy runs through record books And then Lamar Jackson goes for 350 plus or something like that through the sky They didn't break the sweat and they crushed us We had guys on the field 42 snaps zero stats. It looked bad bad And then Shane Stuykin yesterday said it was a nice wake up call. Okay, so as Colts folks that we are we are pro coach people Okay, I think I'm very Apparent every once in a while. I'll tell the truth about the quotes These super duper coats fans that don't live in Indianapolis on the internet could very mad at me for those things Haven't heard an apology yet feel yeah have not heard one waiting on it still From the people that were trying to kick me out of the city in which I call home lucky to call home But Chuck bad start and then Shane says wake up call. What are your thoughts on the quotes and Do I need to give up hope because I still I still see the Indianapolis Colts win a super ball in Los Angeles? Whoa 14th a lot has to happen But I got you can still see it out there. You can still see it's a long season Chuck. It's a long scene. Oh Yeah, I yeah, I was a little bit what You know alarmed By by the wake up. I just thought based on you know, I listen to Carly say okay look This was like went to the movie and we hit pause Did she not say that? Yes, he did about last year right? Mm-hmm eight and two start Then we lose our quarterback Danny goes out right and then We know the rest is history and it was like okay. I can't wait till we get to you know hit the play button and watch this movie So everybody all the expectations were like Okay, we're just gonna hit the ground run in our quarterbacks healthy Unbelievable, you know recovery from the Achilles and we're just we're just gonna roll and nobody expected You know what happened. Baltimore's a really good team. I was obviously there last year. I saw these guys Up close and personal air person every single day Lamar is an absolute, you know weapon King Henry all say they just and I think it all a lot of it stems like the defensive Issues, you know, they had they just took the mic, you know the green dot off of Buy them right? So they had it on buy them and from jump street the very first snap They couldn't get lined up Confused they ran a bootleg they hit Z on a runaway and and they go down to the one yard line You know, so and it didn't it didn't get any better So I think from a communication standpoint the green dot went from buy them who's a safety They talked at nausea about how hard that would be can you imagine AJ the safety? Having to run the in deep parts of the field then run up to the front of the huddle at the line of scrimmage Give everybody the play call right and then run back to the deep part and so if they're speed How do we fall on that one? We got young linebackers You know better better was starting right Allen hadn't found his way yet. He didn't play he didn't play a snap So from a communication standpoint Yeah, that was taught there. Yeah, what about Grove Grove de Force Buckner bucks in the middle of the defensive line Got to be in every play kind of it's kind of easy to be a guy that's in there the whole time and not rotate out
So who are they putting on, do we know? - A different linebacker at this time. - Batcher? - No, they went to 51, three names. He's got three names, Gator. - I like that, right? - Better than two. - I don't think so. - So they put it on and he-- - Three is normally like an assassin. - Yeah, he had it at Cincinnati. So they're put it on a linebacker, so that takes the onus off of Bynum. - Taylor Britt. - From our communication. - A team Davis, Gator, three, three name. - He's six foot two, two, 38. - Tom Gidems. - Gidems, Gidems, Gideame. - He want the app state, obviously. - Lou Hadham, they had him down at Cincinnati, so they were obviously familiar with them. - Yeah, I think they caught him after that. - Gideon, back on him. - The blue are the linebacker. - Young guys, you got a rookie safety startin' Halsey. That's his first outing. Justin Wally started in the nickel for Kenny Moore, right? And he's lined up against, say, flowers. - What the fuck? - We saw what happened. - Hang in. - You know, with that, Justin's gonna be fine. Halsey's gonna be fine, but this is their first outing against a really, really good football team, a really good offensive football team. They just made, they're paying him 35 million a year for a reason, you know, so they'll be better. Communication will be better, and they got to go to Kansas City. - No, 41 points. - Yeah, not only 41 points, but a guy out there who made no towels. It maybe makes a little bit more sense if they didn't know what the play goal was. - I was gonna say, it sounds like he had no fucking idea what was goin' on. - So you remember Matt Ryan in new offensive line here in Indianapolis, when you get on the same page, and after we found that out, we go back and watch. We're like, make sense, make sense. Can't bind them, not relaying the message, or able to relay a message potentially, because you have some of the fastest players in football on the other side, so we probably can't be lingering around too close. We got a deep job that we have to do. So maybe just nobody was on the same page on defensive front, so maybe that's why that happened. And then offensively, yeah, we're gonna be great, right? Yeah, coach go to the Super Bowl. I like that. I like to get a wake-up call early, you know, 'cause there's an entire offseason, potentially a wake-up call, but I guess everything stayed the same, other than Michael Pittman, so, you know, we're all kind of hunky-dory. Good luck, boys. Good luck, we need you. - Come on, let's get 'em. - Come on, pass back this week. - What a great opportunity, and you know, Kansas City didn't look any good, so it's a great opportunity to go on the road with you. - And I think Debutt mentioned it, right? I was back home, you guys went there in clinched playoff birth, right? When I was out sick. - That's right, calm. - And beat Kansas City in the cold, right? Great win. We've had good success there, for whatever reason. - Got a little different Kansas City team back then, wouldn't it? - Well, Kenneth Walker wasn't there for sure. - It was pretty good, yeah. - Yeah, there was certainly-- - You patting my homes there? - Yes, patting my homes is there. - 2019, Jacoby Bersetco's there. - Okay. - Yes, now granted, once again, we're saying a lot of names that aren't there, and then new names that are there for the Chiefs, but when these two logos play each other, Colts have fared pretty well against the Chiefs. Now, Sunday night football, fresh off of an announcement to the world that the Chiefs are now ground in pound football team again, which they clearly are with Kenneth Walker, and the Colts given up 150 plus yards of Derek Henry, just a few days ago. It's certainly a little bit alarming about what could happen in their narrow head, but why not Danny Dimes, Jonathan Taylor, and then off into line, stealing the juice out of your head, which is like a college atmosphere. It was such an honor to be in there and watch a game, just to not have to play again. Why, he couldn't watch again. - But you get it. - But I got to see the beginning of it. Home of the Chiefs, get off the field, go, Tonto, please, come back out. So it didn't really get a chance to experience it, you know, on the field, got a chance to see in a sweet level. That place is electrifying. Now, if you get off to a hot start, maybe get him a question a little bit. Maybe they can't handle ball off 45 times Kenneth Walker. - Right. - Then maybe you got him right where you want him. Saus Gardner, Eaton, (imitates gunfire) Mooney, Eric, (imitates gunfire) and where the fuck is Kenny Moore? I asked that question early, nobody. He didn't sign with any team, right? - No, he didn't. - He just retired? - Not that I know of how thick he did. - Not if he was hanging out. - Probably just staying in shape, waiting for him. - Sign with a campaign. - Injuries are gonna happen. He's gonna be out there. If somebody's gonna lose a dude here or there, he'll get picked up. - He was a great player for us. Great player. - What the fuck happened? - Great story. He's never really won anything, right? - No, yes. A lot of guys on this particular team have never won anything, but playing and running team and coaching team have never really won anything. Now, got it all figured out, which we certainly appreciate, and are treated as if they have it all figured out. - Sure. - But as a seasoned ticket holder, I haven't had a fucking prime time game really to be able to watch. - No. - It'll be sweet with Gardner Menshiv here, this far away from hosting a playoff game. - Mm-hmm. - We're still holding on to that right now. - Passing the flat. - Tyler Goodson, maybe. - Those are a good old days. - Last year they were eight and two. That's good news. Pete the hell out of bunch. People came to the number one team in the league. Number one, offense in the league. We're gonna be able to find that again. - Six of those wins. The team just fired their coach at the end of the year. - Sooner or so, maybe, I think. - And they didn't take the stat. - He shared that this morning really soon too. - Oh, I mean. - Boy, dark A's. - And you know, I love this today. - It's like 2024. - But I think we need to just be realistic and temper our expectations a little bit. We got a bunch of young guys that are gonna get better and got a good staff over there. - Eight everybody. - He can't temper expectations. - The stackings like 15 deer. - Yeah, there's money spent to. - What? - A lot of money is paid, a wide receiver and a QB top dollar. - It's been hurt. - They like their guy. - Yeah, that guy. They're saying some crazy years. - They're saying about him on the internet. - I stay away from it this time of year, guys. You should do the same. - Okay, well you well, thank you for all the money. - What time of year should we not? - I don't like 'cause, you know, what you think or say about me, you know, none of my business. - Well, yeah, that's you. If you were Chris Bouton. - I'm trying to pass it along to everybody else. They gotta stay locked in. - Yeah, but we are staying locked in on what the things on the earner are happening 'cause they're kind of cooking right now and Chris Bouton's on the flame that they're cooking because of lack of success. And I think we like Chris Bouton the person. But, never wanted AFC South. I mean, going on 10 years here. I don't know how. - When was the last one? - 12, 13 years. When was it? - 2014. - Was that you? - Yeah it was. - Yeah, right. - Was that everything? - Who the chucked you think it was? - Yes, I was. I was there for that. We did it. Hell yeah, good for us. - We absolutely did it. - It's good on you guys. We had good players. - Yeah, we had good coaches. There we had good coaches. In General Manager, Ryan Grayson had success. I think obviously he had a lot of learning curve situations that took place. I thought his name was gonna get back into the General Manager's circles. Where's he at now? He is back to Cleveland. - Back in Cleveland. - Back in Cleveland. - But yeah, we did win. There were a lot of winning. Now had Andrew Luck. That certainly helps. Andrew Luck was really good. Had Pete Manning before that. Then we go on the search for the quarterback forever. And you know, that kind of provides a lot of excuses. - Yeah. - I think dog-shite teams. - Because real, real problem. You don't have a quarterback, you're in trouble. That is a real thing about football and all that. But yeah, Chris Bauer knows that, you know, there's a lot of eyes on him. But is there? I don't know. I generally don't know what the future holds for the Indianapolis Courts. I think they're going to Super Bowl this year. I don't want to temper my expectations. - There we go. I don't like hearing that six out of the eight wins last year, Kevin gets teams that had fire their entire fucking front office. - I didn't know that. - Well, Titans ran there twice. - Yeah, okay. - Dolphins. - Dolphins. - But there was two really good things. - Great. - Also, they beat the Charters. - They were so nice. - If they were the Charters, they wouldn't do the Rams. - Falcons. - Yeah, Pittsburgh, we lost them. Atlanta, they had a whole new coach. Oh man. I mean Atlanta, Tennessee, Arizona, Vegas, Tennessee, Miami. - Good program. - I didn't see any of that. It turns out hindsight here has a little bit better projection on what those teams are. - You get this with anything though, you know. You could do this with anything. - No, your team is the fucking team we're talking about. - No, but in general, like a lot of other teams coaches, a lot of coaches got fired. If you went through another team schedule, it would be a lot like this. - It's a good point. - I like that. I choose to believe that one. - Now, it's not a lot of your wins. (waves crashing) - That's tough. - That is a tough realization. Let's keep that one in the holster next time. Whenever we're looking for optimism here on a week two. Okay, we're going into Sunday night. - It smells back. - They're gonna bounce back. I think so too. The only issue is what if the Chiefs just keep bouncing though, you know, 'cause they don't really got a bounce back right now. They just got to keep bouncing. - Letting down a game, big win like that. - Look up for a letdown. - Yeah, 'cause they're not like a mature group either. They've never experienced this type of shit before that they had there on opening night. - They don't have any success, yeah. - Prime time pressure. - Yeah, big lights. - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - Yeah, they won't be able to, no way. - Contrary. - He won't, he won't have an answer. - He's just eating all week. - Okay. - Six and a half game planning. - Six and a half is not bad, actually. I kind of like that. Maybe it is a big bounce back in the sports book's eyes, 'cause I think if you were to take that number a little bit bigger, I think a lot of people would still pull the trigger. - What is that? - Taking them 13 and a half. - Well, I don't need alt spreads right now. It's fucking Tuesday with Thursday. We don't need that. - Those who are thinking. Thursday, some people say Thursday is the Tuesday of Saturday. - I'll tell you, Monday after Monday night countdown, you're right, and it depends on what time's entering as well. Monday night after Monday night countdown, I got on that plane and I was like, week one done, you know? Kind of like, I just think that one day,
game day to Monday night countdown, get on the plane, think to myself, well, when we give me one, I'm diet buffaloes real quick, kind of have a little bit of a celebration that we kind of did this thing. And then all of a sudden, I remember, hey, fucking show tomorrow morning right now. - Yeah. - Yeah, this is not week one's over. You're actually just kind of in football season. And it's like, that's incredible. I do think keeping track of the days will be problematic for me. So I hope everybody keeps me honest. Seeing lads in person certainly help. - Yes, it does. - Like, AQ poppin' and he was like, "Oh, it's Wednesday, walked in." So AQ was like, "I forgot we're doing this. This is incredible news. You obviously come in here on Thursday." What a great start. Walk in here, 45,000 calories. - At least. - And donuts are over here. - So many. - For the lads. Yeah, I thought we cut those down, didn't we? I thought we had got that like six box, yeah, he added a box. - But ball season. Four box, let's go. - I know you've brought four box. You've brought four boxes there. - Four box, the donut. - Four box, baby. - Yeah, I understand, but I thought we had a conversation about like, "Hey, there's certain ones that get eaten "and certain ones that don't." We could kind of bundle these things into like one or two boxes. I did not expect the entire island to be filled with donuts this morning, but Chuck was jacked up. So as Jack's donuts, I assume they're excited to get their next gig. - It's actually, it's actually, they've branded, new branded. This is no named donuts. - Private equity come in, ruin them. - So you noticed, you see any-- - Do you see any branding on those boxes? - No. - White. - Oh no. - No named donuts, but just as delicious. - Oh yeah, of course. - We had one of these, they were Jack and Burger King, remember done on the south side? - Exactly, what they're doing. - What was it, what was the burger? They lost the brand Burger King. - Yeah. - Okay, they had a Burger King on the south side. We had walk pass, it was so good. They lost the Burger King licensing deal, okay? But they just continued operating without the sign. So shape of Burger King sign, no words on there. Men use same as Burger King, getting it in a paper bag, and then you're on your way out. They were operating late nights. - Oh, the taste, same? - It's all good. - Okay, so tell me, these things taste really worse? - Well, there's a lot of-- - They're still delicious. - They're great donuts. - Yeah. - Well, they might have brought the patent family. - Well, they might need to figure out how not to give away so much shit, we don't need for, it seems like they're in a new process, a new business they're building, no named donuts. I like to create a brainstorm that went behind that, by the way. - On what name is gonna be better? - No, there is no name, it's gonna be better. - Of course, no named donuts. Tell them to keep two to three extra boxes of stuff and supply so they don't have, you know, they can give it to somebody else. We don't, I don't think we need 200 donuts in here. There's 10 people. - There are 10 people. - Very generous people, I will have a conversation. I'm gonna need one of the guys, the fellows in the back are all stars to, let's go ahead and get exact what we like. - We did that already, no we tried, but hey, so the list is the list. I got the list this summer, all right. I got the text message, we wanna go back to 'em and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. That's why we got chuckin' four box out there. So now, we wanna pair this thing down, I'll pair it down, but I don't need, you know, guys runnin' rough shot over me about how many goddamn donuts are here. - That's fair. - Okay, there's two extra boxes of shit that we did not circle. Talk clearly, circled one, that was already selected. There was a couple others. I think there was only four to five options there. - Well very, thank you. - There's 30 options over there right now. - Nobody ordered a mystery box that has the most absurd donuts with bacon, with sausage, with all sorts of things. - That was just a. - Yeah, it was exactly, so the box is that. - Boxy, I know you're a little emotional. You got three linemen down. We're fixing a happen here tonight, so you just calm down. - Yeah, but you just lie to what Foxy said. - They tried to, they just threw in this fantasy box. Hey, let's see if the boys like a little bit of, you know, a maple bar with some bacon on it. - That was that's good. There's something there. - That was damn good. - That's good idea. - That's awesome. - We were gonna get the extras to the construction guys too. - And I ain't seen anybody bitchin' her own about that. - Fuck Fritter. - That Fritter was brought in in the same box. - How about the goddamn, oh, excuse me. - The coconut filled. - I'm a dinosaur. - Custard? - I'm a dinosaur. - To it. - Coconut sucked. - Let's see how many fucking donuts are here, dude. The amount of chuck and donuts that are sitting over there is just absurd, and now I'd like to hear that. - So many needs to eat a couple of them twists. - We have more of them. - Damn, I'm so sorry. - That was fucking twist. - That's what talk. Talk ordered the, what do you call the thing of tiger something? - Tiger tail. - Tiger tail. - Oh yeah, those are the worst. - Take the frickin' chuck and tiger tail's home, talk. - Okay. - How's the fucking check? - It's pretty cool. - On that note. - He doesn't know where he's at. - On all of this, I do like that you said, hey, make a list of stuff that you guys want in here, and then you told no name donuts and they said, yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck these guys. We also got these ones that they need to try. So there was no reason to put a list together ever, I don't think, but on that note, there has been a couple that have surprised us in your fantasy mystery box. - I didn't know Maple Bake was going on. - That could be added maybe to the entirety of what we have in the past. But no name donuts has showed up in a big way for us here. - We need the little guys, right? Back. - Yeah, we're the whole thing. - In the past. - Where's the timbass? - Yeah, the donut horse. - We need the little horse. - They're not the little horse. - Is that a thing? - Yeah, Eric and Nicole are the parents. Owners and the son is Evan, he's 16. He gets to sleep in, he's been dropping them off. - Oh, good kid. - So he's missing like first period, which I think is like study hall or something, so he's good, he's a great kid. - Okay, yeah, we think it's study hall. - Oh fuck your boy. - This kid skipped it so he could haul in 15 boxes and the donut, yeah. - Yeah, I saw him this morning. - His program's over here. - It comes in with an 18 wheeler. - He saw him? - Yeah, I saw him dropping them off this morning. I mean, he was like struggling getting these boxes and then trucks struggling getting these boxes. - Lop donuts. - That's a lot of donuts. What we're saying is we'll take them to the fire department across the street. We appreciate them. And I like your idea of taking them to construction workers today out there. - That's the thing we're trying to, but they have to get two weeks. - We get to serve and give them-- - The fuck we do? We get to buy these guys lunch every day. These construction workers, we've been in over backwards for these guys. - It's OSHA, they don't work when it's over 95. - Is that real? - Yeah. - It's not even nice. - I hope that they're healthy. But we do give them drinks, food, snacks, trying to keep them comfortable. - I don't like it because the route that my Uber driver took this morning to get here. - Kind of route. - Pissed black, there's no lights right? I'm thinking, okay, I'm done. Guys taking me out to the field. - Sure. - Why'd you think that? - You don't travel with protection. - Is that normal? - That's just kind of normal. - There's no lights, it's dark. I mean, roads, these roads, there you can't see. - Taking advantage of you and killing you, what do you think? - Yeah, exactly. - Roads are close. It has caused quite an interesting scene for our door dashers. Some figure out a way to get through and get to us. Some just park it a mile away and carry a bag through construction sites and neighborhoods to get to the ThunderDum. What I'm saying is we appreciate all the workers. - We do. - Thank you for it all. And we have two to 300 extra donuts for you. This particular week, if you guys are to come work, shout the no-name donuts, shout to the 16 year old skipping school. He's definitely going to class after he drops off here. - Directly. - He's not gonna do. - He's not gonna do. - He's not gonna do. - Southwest people, over at the airport, unbelievable human beings. They're getting a box taken to them. - They're gonna be so popular. - My way out of it. - They're probably just like us. We got space for an extra fucking 45-50 donuts. We could definitely put that somewhere. - Take their security. - I was gonna say, what are you doing? - What are you talking about? - What are you doing? - Why would you do that to yourself? - Put a sandwich in your backpack. And I had a two donuts wrapped up in a. - Two donuts? - Are you talking about. - We got a box of donuts. - Yeah, with a twist. - All right, that was the first kid in the bottom of the airclaw. - Fricking glazed it wrapped up. It didn't trigger nothing. - Kidding me. - Chuck, it's great to have you back in here. - I just want to let you know. - I love being here. - Yeah, we're very lucky and thankful. I mean, we're all trying to get in shape. You know, more doors destination is kind of happening in front of our eyes. - If you guys had gluten-free donuts. - Fuck that. - Fuck that, yeah. - Let's move away. - We're not bad. - Now, we're gonna move on. We're gonna move on. We appreciate the donuts. We appreciate no-name donuts. You guys can keep some of your flour and stuff though. We don't need 200 donuts every single week. But thank you for rolling the dice to send us the extra stuff. Coconut cream pie. Obviously, Thai love getting a nice fire. - Fuck the fire. - Yeah, and the maple bacon. Love, love that. - What name do we give that thing? - The no-name donuts? - No, the maple bacon. - I don't know. - Just that? I want one name work. - Is there any sprinkles or long johns out there? - Yeah. - Everything. - Donuts. - Everything, AJ. - Yeah, so it's like a maple glaze pig glaze. - Oh. - Something along those lines. - Did you travel in here this week? - Oh. - Yeah, he comes here tomorrow. - There's usually some donuts there when I show up on the right. - Okay, good. We'll save you some, AJ. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. He definitely eats them. - Yeah, he definitely eats them. Thanks. Okay, the name of it is called the maple bacon long john. - Oh. - Maple bacon long john. - What is that thing? - But I want to come up with a, what would Hulk call it? - Well, he's here. - No. - What would you call it, Hulk? - Well, I would just kind of follow along with what no-name donuts is doing and just say, maybe it is the maple bacon long john. - Yeah. - With this AI slot. - It may just call it the BG, dude. - Oh, yeah, maybe, but kind of calling Gina Pig. - Yeah, I'm sure Mingine love bacon. - Certainly. - Remember Mingine's pizza, like a bowling alley? - Yeah. - If you go there. - I'm a bacon pepperoni who's fucking far. - All right, let's get off the donuts that you brought way too many of, but we appreciate you starting there. I would like to be able to say, whoa, instead of go, you know, especially as coaches say. Let's get to your real job here, okay?
You are an Italian lad, obviously coach football for a long time so you can openly participate, but you certainly know the ins and outs of potentially dabbling in the sports gambling world for multiple years now. You've had a winning record on Thursday night football predictions and last week did not go your way, but tonight week two on Amazon, the Detroit Lions travel up the Buffalo to open a brand new stadium as the bills in Josh Allen host the NFC Norse MC DC lead crowd. Now obviously grass turf up there in Buffalo, a lot of shenanigans, a lot of celebrations. We got a bison family, we got a baby bison out there, a lot of, a lot of points potentially. Chuck, how do you see this one going? And what is your pick as the bills sit five and a half point favorites? Yeah Pat, you mentioned Lex. We certainly a wake up call for me. So I really had to take a deep dive. I had to take a deep dive into this. The short of this thing is very, very simple. We got two prolific offenses who both fared really well on week one, right? Josh Allen goes down to Houston, which has been his kryptonite, right? And he throws for 334 yards. He scores, you know, two pass and touch down, two Russian touchdowns. I mean, he was just on fire. All right, their defense, you know, they gave up 124 yards Russian to Houston. Montgomery was running all over the place a little bit. CJ played well. You know, they had a bunch of yards and points in that ball game. And then Detroit, I mean, they're up 21, nothing on New Orleans. And then they let them come back in Detroit. Secondaries beat up. They're missing their two best safeties are on I, you know, short term IR right now or pup, whatever you want to call it, you know, Kirby Joseph and branch. They really miss them. I guess, you know, they got the three offensive lineman out. We know that Reed might be a question mark. I guess the start one of the start in corners, Rock, Rock, you send us the other one, Reedus is the is the right corner. Um, yeah, I don't see either of these teams right now. Jimmy Leonard, we talk about Jimmy Leonard. He's the defensive coordinator at Buffalo. He's going to do a great job. Shep's going to do a great job at Detroit, but these offences like who like if you're, if you're the DC, if I'm the DC, if I'm Jimmy Leonard, I'm like, OK, public enemy number one is who Gibbs Gibbs, he rushed for 160, you know, so we got to stop him. So, OK, so now I put all my attention, all my eggs and one basket on him and then who gets you? I'm on a run. I'm on a run. Porter. And then Le Porto and then Jamal. You know Jamal rockin' right in the jugs all week, three days, three ways, short, three days, short week. Yeah, a lot of jugs aren't going short week. Yes, you can because you're not hitting. So, yeah, so it's, this is, this is, I see a lot of points being scored. We talked to Adnauseum about 2024 the last time these two teams played each other, 90 points over a thousand yards of total offense, 12 total touchdowns, two great quarterbacks, bunch of weapons on offense, DJ Moore. You think Josh haven't liked this DJ Moore? Yeah, yeah, he does and Concade. Yeah, yeah, he likes Concade and don't forget about Shakir. Oh, he does has moved the change. So, a lot of points here are going to be scored turnovers. The one thing about turnovers in this one, they're both plus two on the season. This is a small sample size. We got one week, right? Plus two on the turnovers. So, to me, this is like, OK, who has the ball last? All right, and who takes care of the ball? They, they both did a great job of taking care of the ball in this last one. They're both plus two on the turnover margin. So, yeah, this is, this is, this is a tough one. I mean, I think the easy, the easy thing here is is like, you're boost. Oh, please, I'm going to be responsible. No, not. Yes, you have. No, I think I got 40 bucks. That's responsible. Right? For the amount of money you have made over your career. And I think you have a brain. And Miss Tina's doing this thing. $40 bet is a unit is more right? OK, it's responsible. What we need you not to do is thousands and thousands and thousands. We don't need that. We need you to be responsible in this. That's just too easy. OK. No guarantee. Who put the, you guys, you boys put this together? This is too easy. Yeah, this was, this was one of the bets that was on the docket to potentially, we did want to boost just 50 points. OK, you see the overrunner's 54 and a half. We wanted to boost 50 points as a total. That was minus 260 draft kick. You said, come on. OK, can we please at least do something here? It's like, all right. And this became an option. And, yeah, we're big fans of this one. Now, nothing is a guarantee. But gambler responsibly, this one feels good with how everybody is seeing this game going with a lot of points taking place. Now, any time you got like a field goal in every quarter or a touchdown in both halves, there's always some cannery and some top foolery that can happen. Yeah, you know, because play action on the goal line with a throw will give us all a heart attack if rushing touchdown doesn't hit. This is not a guarantee, but we all feel good about it. Now, what's your pick? What do you feel good about whenever it comes to the lines and the bills? Bill is favored by five and a half. Sound like you were waffling a little bit while you were talking about these stats that you were kind of reading off of the tail of the tape. I mean, it would be so hard to bet against the bills, opening up a brand new stadium. Josh Allen is your quarterback. He got over the hump in Houston with a big win down there. Short week, they're at home. They don't have to travel all be it Detroit. It's not, it's not a far trip for them. I have a hard time giving five and a half, be honest with you. Oh, you hear that fox. I just, I just think about this. I mean, whoever has the ball last, right? So Josh makes that incredible. If last or catches that ball, this whole, this whole season starts a different way, right? It was by one. They're done. But he, but he off balance. He doesn't catch that. Then he hits Palmer for that. Go ahead, touchdown. And then CJ, like right here, catch the ones. They throw to you. It would have been a really great play by him. But how many times have we seen this? Oh, drop. Oh, we're done. We're toast. They're going to come back and score. Yeah, what they do, whistled one into Palmer for the, go ahead, touchdown. But CJ takes them right down and they get a sack, a strip sack and a fumble. Otherwise, you know, this thing is going to, is going to go Houston's way. So I think whoever has the ball last on this one, I have a hard time given, given five and a half points. I'm, I'm thinking that gritty, Dan Campbell, golf, Gibbs, St. Brown, Jaymo, these are offensive. I know they got, I know they're missing some pieces on that offensive line. But you think Penae School is going to let those other guys not go compete and fight. All right. You don't think Helen Schuffer is going to bring the frickin' Hizzle. Like beef flow is blitzed 80% of time, right? His protege is down in Washington. They blitz 65% of time. The guy that was with him, he's now the DC down in Washington for the commanders. I think this, I think this ship, because, so what are you going to do? Like if you're missing some pieces in the back end, how do you protect them? Don't know how to get there. Gobs like on his ears, and on his back. Oh, yeah, excuse me. Yeah. That guy, he's going to throw bodies at him. He has throw bodies at him. And then Huts can get home, but they're, they're not going to let Huts rest this game. There's going to be a lot of attention over there. There's going to be tight end over there, going to be a back chipping. Yeah, it's going to come down to want them. Sounds like you're trying to make yourself believe right now. Yeah, so who, yeah, what was your, your Lions plus five and a half? Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to go with Lions. Wow, that's a good point. Let's go. Charlie. Charlie. Bill's win, he thinks. Bill's win. Lions cover. Okay. AJ Hawk did that sway you any particular way as the high mark stadium opens as five and a half point favorites against the Detroit Lions. Yeah, I mean, everything when Chuck presents his case, it definitely does sway me, but my instincts on this one had me leaning Buffalo early for sure. And after hearing everything going on and obviously the injuries on the offensive line for the Detroit Lions, I do love the Lions weapons. I really do the offense. I do love it, but you know me, I'm a Josh Allen guy. I'm a Buffalo Beals guy, the new stadium thing and that might be overblown all of that whole situation. I know those fans are going to help, but they're not going to make one play on the field. But with that being said, he's Buffalo Beals minus five and a half at home. I'll do the same. I don't like it, Chuck. But I do like the fact that AJ seeing the board well and he and I are seeing the same thing. And also we were boots on the ground as a show at the new high mark stadium on opening day. We as a show were there. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it will be boy, but okay, guys, not leading him on the field. Bruce. Yeah, Bruce. The bison. Is the girl a bit, baby, Bruce. I don't know why they haven't put baby Bruce out there. It's going to be so loud, sensory overload. Yeah, he's a baby. He's a child. Bill's fans aren't impressed with baby, Bruce. What? What do you mean? He's a baby. They're not impressed. You can't put that little calf out there like that. Yeah, he's soft. He's going to grow with the stadium. It's first day. This is going to be the stadium in the Bill's Mafia are going to be his parents. The training Mike, but you're going to take a bring one out like see you and get Ralphie running and about dragging four people around. That's a different.
story. Here's Bruce walking in. Love you. Hey, uh, he's great to be home. Love you, babe. Bruce will run like Ralphie. There's no one. Oh my God. He looks very excited. Bruce, they're really younger. I'm going to monitor. They like that, actually. Just two, three years from now, we're going to see Bruce. Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. Yeesh. That's what it's going to pay off. Josh Hounds riding that thing into the stadium. Yeah. Peter riding that thing. Well, maybe Peter becomes actually Bruce's mom. I talked about that earlier, because maybe Peter or partner. I mean, maybe they do what they have to do for dog. That don't look like Tatanka to me. Sorry. Who's Tatanka? You see dances with wolves, right? No, I've seen Avatar, which I think is similar story. Hey, J, you see dancing. It's been a minute. I know Kevin Costner, right? Tatanka. Beast. Yeah. Classic. Do you ever see Avatar? It's like Morgan Freeman and Shawshank. I've watched it one thousand times. Do you know what movie is called the Shawshank Redemption? Fine. No, but I'm just saying. I like them both. I learned that today. I learned that today, because I've always just called it Shawshank. Shawshank? Yeah. Exactly. And then bone puts a graphic together. Notable movies. First one, the Shawshank Redemption. And I'm like, this fucking idiot. How does it get that wrong? And I look it up. Turns out it is Shawshank Redemption. That is the thing that they are talking about. So just some for us to remember, as we go by. And he was Mandela Mandela effects. Yes, it was. Invictus. Maybe we kind of change our thoughts on that. But Morgan Freeman here. Fantastic gentlemen. Can't wait to see him on Saturday, college, game day. Chuck has the lines plus five and a half. Mean AJ have Beels minus five and a toxic table. Who do you guys have? Buffalo Beels and a Donkin K. Touchdown. Buffalo Beels. Town. Oh, no, Chuck. On an island. I hate going chalk. Had a baby coach. We're not going chalk. We're going to Ireland. Yeah. I mean, no, I mean, chalk. Like everyone's. Everyone. This is a gone of island. Hey, let's find out right now. Hold on a second. What? What? What? What are you doing? What? What are you doing? You're not going to waffle. Are you? No, you know what happens when you off consequences. Coach, coach that ass. A second shower up. A second. Don't do that. No, he can't hear anything. Did you guys actually think? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, what? Oh, wait. Oh, yes. What? What is he doing? What's going on here? You guys know how it's changed. Nope. I for one minute. Oh, okay. Was going to go get Josh Allen on the Buffalo Beels. Yeah. On the wellness. Yeah. University of Wyoming. Are you freaking Santel and me? Get the Chuck out of here. Okay. So you got to go. I'm going to Beels minus the five and a half. What? Josh, if you're listening, let's go. Wow. I call it stinks right now, but you don't pal hunt. Okay. I like that. Wow. Yeah. Wow. You're on your own island every second. Truly one of one, Charlie. I mean, you master baited us right there. Yeah. Big time. Well done. Remarkable work. What a show. But you are. Okay, so we're all in the bill. It's about as five. Yeah. Coming out of shooting number three on a bowl. Name Widowmaker. Okay. Widowmaker is certainly a good name for a bowl that's going to buck in a big way. Yes. Josh Allen certainly been on the back of that buck in Bulletin since the beginning of his NFL career. Tonight can he continue this magical run that the Buffalo Beels might be on as they open a brand new stadium. All of us on this particular program are riding with the Buffalo Beels minus five and a half at home. Chuck Pogano, if he makes this football into what you what you what you. All right. This is right over here. Twenty people will win five hundred dollars because Chuck Pogano is truly feeling himself. We had a costume change. Yep. We had a dupe. We didn't have a waffle and we got Chuck Pogano maybe throwing a hundred on the paint on the Thursday to kick off week two of the NFL season. One question. How many throws do I get? This is it. Just one. Make it count, Charlie. Remember just fire that day. No name it. Twenty people, five hundred dollars. Coach Pogano. He did fire that thing. He was on gas. He jacked up. Yeah. He just did a whole costume wardrobe. Yeah. Rightfully so. Which was awesome. All right. You get one more. I think you have to. Yep. You have to. Especially because we're all betting the same. Is that your sweatshirt? What size? Yeah. It's a little big. Say yours. This is mine. Okay. I saw you. It's just a state thing the other day. You know he was doing that sober. I asked him. Don't hate. Don't hate all one. I mean for a minute, you're up 17, three feeling yourself like man, coach of Memphis. We rolling. Yeah. Then we went on to outscore him 35 to three. Get out of town. Bull day. All right. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. Hey, Huffy. Yeah. All right. Last ball here for coach Pogano. Who certainly has had a magical day here today. Yeah. Got a chance to talk to Morgan Freeman. Yeah. Kirk Herbshire. Wow. Pete Famel. Why? I broke down the game from all different facets and sides. He duped us obviously into believing he was going to ride with the Detroit Lions plus five and a half only to bust out a Wyoming Cowboys long sleeve and say I'm with Josh Allen. Forget everything else. If this ball goes into the hoop, we're all going to win. Yeah. And 20 people win $500. Chuck Pogano. Arco. No. That one's always worse. Okay. Okay. All right. Good work today, coach. That was a world piece. Safe travels out of here. We appreciate you. AJ, thank you for traveling out here tomorrow. The boys can't wait to see you. To all of you that allow us to do this for a living, we can't say thank you enough. It is because all of you that we get to live the coolest lives of all time. We're just trying to do sports justice. Sports are the greatest thing of all time. NFL football is the greatest. Here we go. Tonight. We bark the dawn of a new era in Buffalo. High Mark Stadium. Kirk Herbshire described it as a high school basketball college basketball arena. That is a football stadium. That's right. He clarified it as a football stadium. It's going to be a lot. It's going to be raucous. It's going to be special as the Buffalo Bills cover by five and a half. Hell yeah. Need each team have one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown. The overs, what everybody likes, but what if the defense is still the show? This could potentially be in play throughout all four quarters. Let's not lose hope if it looks dire at the beginning. Let's hold strong. That we're going to win. And if we don't, remember, we told you a gamble response. We don't be mad. It's great. I can't thank you all enough. Be a friend, telephone, some nice might change your life. We're missing together. Anything you say, coach, dude, team. That's you, Chuck. Live, fold, die empty. Well said. Fuck you. Team on me. Team on three. Football's back, baby. One, two, three, team. Good bye.
