Pink up up damn it be a friend tell a friend something nice could change their life sport sport sport sport sport hello beautiful people and Welcome to our humble abone the Thunderdome on this feel-good Flo Friday December 29th 2023 this sports program starts now football happened last night with the Cleveland
Bronze beating the Jets on Amazon Prime 3720 covering what 75% of the public thought was going to happen last night with Joe flacko wheeling and dealing like he’s been doing for Cleveland since his ass got a call to get off the couch and get into the dog pound what a
Fantastic display of football last night from Joey Elite footsteps that’s our his nickname Flack well him and David and joku have become a beautiful pairing they’re like hawk and animal over there the Road Warriors Joe Flaco rolling to his left what’s he able to do he’s an old man who
Cares right out of the grasp of CJ Mosley on a line to David and joku yet again and it was one of those things where you see his over under I think before the game started on the kickoff show was at like 65 yards or something like that if you’ve watched Joey flacko
And nooku play football together they dominate together especially without Amari Cooper that play action right there filth absolute filth NFL in the F stands for Flaco filth it is nffl whenever this dude’s on the field congrats to the Cleveland Browns securing a playoff spot last night in
Celebrating in Cleveland when just a few years ago they were locking up beers until a win was had and that was a long long long time of thirst without drinking at all so I’m happy for them I’m happy for flacko and I’m happy that Joey flacko will be joining us in 28
Minutes that’s a big deal hey Z baby where’d to go there P where it go Z baby now we did have the the elf sure that’s true on the set as we debuted the new Cleveland Brown logo which was the dog which we’re lucky to be a part of but
They have good people over there so we’re very happy that their team is performing at the in which they are and if you think about it they have gone all in more than any other team oh yeah they understood where their team was they understood what their fans were going
Through they understood that life was terrible and remember if you go way back Cleveland Browns they actually picked up and moved to Baltimore Cleveland didn’t even have an NFL team for a while and you heard Herby in the open say you know this is a football town and a football
State and you can feel the buzz and you can feel the energy around the Cleveland Browns for you know first time long time very very high expectations even though they’re dealing with a Litany of injuries over there and you think about Andrew Barry you think about Kevin
Stefansky and you think about that Hasam family who’s been desperate oh yeah desperate for a winner and desperate to have success they could have never guessed that it would be Joey Flack and the boys doing it this late into the season they’re in the playoffs and they
Can still end up the number one seed in the AFC cannot wait to talk to Joe Flaco speaking of herb Street he’ll be joining us in a second hour he’s on his way down at cotton ball Ohio State tatea on Missouri tonight who’s playing for Ohio State question marks who’s play playing
For Missouri we know cook and Shader are playing they’re their dogs they are favored I do believe this evening iio state is now Missouri was favored but it feels like all the opt outs that Ohio State might have had are actually going to play so now Ohio state has become the
Favorite so Marvin Harrison Jr and not praon may be playing though don’t know what that means there a lot of interesting reports coming out number 33 the old slinging Sammy B Jersey on briyan the quarterback he because remember old CU Kyle transfer yeah he did M Kyle McCord transferred almost on
Fe it almost went to college football playoff was driving to beat Michigan would have put them into the big uh Big 10 Championship which had put them into college football playoff he gets hit throws a pick game over he’s transferring out of time he’s Syracuse
Now yeah he’s now he is gone which is a wild ride in this whole transfer portal nil thing but Herby going down there for the game obviously and uh he was in Cleveland last night got a chance to experience and feel it and how’s Big Ben
Doing you know he’s got articles in GQ I think about him and Lee Corso which is beautiful to read if you got a chance to to check that out and then him and Ben I think had an article in like uh New York Times times New York Times and and Herby
Look at how Hey listen Herby and I suffer from the same thing football season we enjoy food okay sure MH we grew up in towns where like food tasted good sure yeah great and have taste buds and pallets that you like enjoy eating M like oh that sandwich looks good let me
Have one of this oh I got to have the best pizza in town I mean they’re bringing it to me not everywhere that’s what football season is Herby and I a couple years back 2019 at the national championship we were walking on the field it was the first time we did the
Field pass and we actually I interviewed Herby and I said hey Herby next year we’re not getting fat like both of us we had this decision have you seen how he’s looked all season oh yeah slim the amount of commitment and discipline this dude I think every morning working out
Like really hard crushed this season I cannot wait to chat with him now that Thursday Night Football slate is done congrats to the Amazon career having a good year congrats to them uh the boys are here at Boston Conor and at Tai Schmid at the talk to table one half of the
Hammer Cowboys tone Diggs is here I’ll start with you Boston con man how about Joey flacko this story is remarkable it’s unbelievable just a few weeks ago more than a month ago yeah less than two months ago okay so just a few weeks ago Joey Flo couldn’t find a job in the NFL
No he couldn’t je like of call teams hey need a Super Bowl champ Super Bowl MVP what do you think still tall can still spin it rocket you listen to every quarterback talk about how he spins it that have been talking about Joey flacker over the last few weeks they’re
Like he’ll be able to do that till the day he dies I think that’s true with the way Joey flacko spins the ball so just because of what happened at the Jets is why people didn’t want Joey flacko they took him out to the pasture because he
Couldn’t do that why do you think people were doubting Joe flacko and I cannot wait to talk to Joe flacko about the internet Joe flacko last night uh that kind of took over everything on a Thursday night football yeah that’s been one of my favorite parts of this whole
Thing obviously is the internet with Flo it has been top tier I mean some of the memes that are coming out people are swinging hot bats right now by internet we mean x x yes on X people are swinging hot bats formerly known as Twitter but in the year of backup quarterbacks you
Know there 50 some starters for QBs across the league the fact that Flo has kind of come in and just we forgotten about all these other guys like remember Jake Browning when he came in it was it was spinning it remember I mean [ __ ] remember Mason Rudolph just a couple days
Ago how about the pastaa we’re going to the Moon ponut ponut is getting traded from teams coming in at halftime of games and beating the Falcons the year of the backup quar yeah for that to happen all year and then for basically everyone just to be forgotten about with
This old tall handsome son of a [ __ ] Joe footsteps Flo it’s been remarkable and personally I think that you know comeback Player of the Year sure dear Hamlin yeah yeah yeah Demar Hamlin but but people are talking about him in that in that field I mean
Offensive player of the year in MVP I don’t I don’t know why he isn’t getting any love in that aspect he’s on four straight games he’s thrown over 300 yards in four of his five starts the playoff spot with all backups everywhere still still alive in the NFC North or
AFC North excuse me he they could still be the division champs and the one seed in the AFC like that thought is dropped in the middle of the Season middle of the Season no training camp no nothing has never played with Amari Cooper I mean stefansky stefansky is in his ears
Probably doing what Kevin oconnell was telling us early like hey sometimes I have to stop I bet Flaco while he was in the Huddle against the Rams that first week was like okay I think I remember that kobby I called it the is that hey are you talking about the same yeah all
Right I think what running and then 300 yards yeah darts all over the field it is remarkable to watch it it’s an honor honestly to see an old guy like that and then you look at stats like this I mean he has the third most pass yards in NFL
History in F first five games to the team guess what none of those quarterback starts were in week 11 okay so that is way more impressive without your best weapon without your best weapon Nick chub he just threw for 306 without his best weapon Amari Cooper arguably Elijah Moore and lost Elijah
Moore mid game like the fact that he is doing this we hope he’s okay yeah that that was a scary scene definitely teas and peas but the fact that Flo is doing this with guys that he barely knows is just unbelievable and they need to make
Up an award I don’t care what it is call it the Flaco the Flaco award because if anybody else does this they deserve an award too Bingo and Joe Flo deserves to have his name on an award because of how great he’s played and you can make the
Trophy look a little older sure you know it can be a little grizzled little maybe just attach a rocket to the right side of his arm maybe have a couple chunks out of it couple chunks maybe have him running cuz footsteps like there’s so many how about him getting hit in the
Head last night boom UNF should have been 15 would have called that for anybody else but backup quarterback Joe Flack uh this late in the season not going to get that call all especially on prime time and then he’s roll I just pulled my hamstring two weeks ago okay
I’m multiple years younger than this guy that in the face that’s can’t do that quinnon what are you doing he’s running away from quinnon Williams one of the greatest athletes in the NFL obviously he’s a big guy we get it but still this D was on a catch just five weeks ago and
Then for Ford to finish that for him by the way like that is a big deal there is nothing like in basketball you see a guy Shake somebody do something sick nasty pass and then just brick it’s like thanks highlight will never last because of that whole thing Joey Flaco making
This play at this stage of Life reminding people hey heyy what’s you talking about rocket okay yeah the pegs ain’t bad either I got feet you know what I mean and the fact that he did didn’t just sniper or hamy there as he was bingo at his footsteps as he’s
Striding out there it’s like that I love it I’m so pumped for him he’ll be on the show in 20 minutes and on the flip side the New York Jets story of the night was that uh Ryan Fitz Patrick yep that was pretty good Harvard Man hilarious great
Work big brain does his research always heard the other day that Aaron Rogers said that he would like every journalist that is about to comment on him or reporter comment on him to give their vaccination status before giving their opinion so that we can at least set the
Stage for potentially why they hate him because he feels that a lot of people in the media started hating him whenever he decided not to get vaccinated in 2020 said he was immunized gets covid to whole thing 500 page report his body would not react well is what he learned
Through various doctors that he talked to Joe Rogan got involved Dr Joe Rogan got created there so that’s the whole so he would like to hear that at least whenever people cook him he’s getting cooked by a couple guy I saw I saw a Nick Wright CLI Nick Wright went after
Yeah he said it he did he said double v not boosted yeah he said just because he asked for this this is what I and I think he said uh fizer not Johnson and Johnson he even gave the thing he won in I believe there was a couple others that
Won absolutely in uh because of that and it was almost like a bird call seemingly from Aaron on Tuesday to folks and Ryan Fitz magic said you hey I’m a journalist listen to this in the pregame show for Amazon Prime hey uh Aaron Ryan Fitzpatrick class of 2005 uh how are you
Hey buddy twice vacinated quick question for you I checked in with VTO Aon Big Pop by the way big pop out of Aon and then so obviously as soon as I see that I’m watching that I like Fitz magic that’s a genius so good hey Fitz that is
I appreciate you doing that and also Aaron’s response to it exactly how you would expect especially what Aaron would expect as a guy who’s been in an NFL locker room for 19 years people forget that they say like this guy Primadonna this whole thing and they talk about it
It’s like this guy’s been relating to like uh football players football teams people from all different backgrounds for uh two decades now like four different Generations if you think back about when it started where he was to where he is now but Fitz magic hit a
Home run in that yeah and then we I post it a lot of people see that I don’t think everybody knew that Aaron asked yeah probably not it’s a joke it got real out in there oh my God what are we doing grow up X as it does roll out so
Negative people 223 it’s a joke see both sides of it there that’s good let’s keep our let’s keep our minds open let’s keep our hearts open always and let’s just remember what happened if it ever happens again in our lives but we’re all very pumped to be past it with that
Being said Aaron took a lot of straing up during that time yeah I don’t know if he’s going to move on as fast as everybody else is sure sure I don’t know if that’s going to be the case and I appreciate that Fitz feels comfortable
Enough to talk [ __ ] to him and I think we have a request out to Fitz here to talk in the next like two hours or so we are big fans of his as is Aaron I was just reminded 2005 draft class that is so so so long ago and if you look at
That Jets team there’s a lot of mad Aon on the sideline oh yeah wasn’t mad in that conversation NOP kind of an interesting setup we’ll have a drone or sky can sky cam kind of bounced back and forth while you’re sitting on a heated bench on the side kind of artsy you know
He like looked away a couple times I think he was like who am I what do I do because in the world there’s humans on the other side of that sky cam that are looking at him right and so if he’s just looking at sky cam whole time probably
Looks like a a little weird little weird yeah looks off there a little bit well we found out New York he’s been Hey where’s my camera he wants to know where his camer on yeah so he uh he absolutely crushed it but there was a lot of negative Aaron Rogers on sideline you
Know again blowing bubbles he’s a good bubble blur oh yeah the best in TV I think probably the best in TV right now back in the day was more of an art I think that people tried not chewer but blower of the bubble yeah yeah what do
You Pete Carol Carol Danny Smith are I believe two of the best chewers two yeah Danny Smith actually uh blew out his entire rotator cuff and cerbone while chewing gum while taking a shot on the sideline this year so I think he he has the most grit he’s special teams
Coordinator for Pittsburgh Steelers but a lot of blow and Bubbles shaking their heads and then you look at Robert Salah okay what do you see him do well he has a beard it’s gloriously dark it’s a really nice beard I don’t think it was
Dyed by the way we kind of said it looks like he dyed his beard earlier in the year he might have the darkest beard possible it is a really good beard phenomenal bald head okay phenomenal bald head the way the headset sits on the bald head looks like it’s out of a
Movie you know it is very good but you don’t see much out of him did you just all game no whenever he was hired out of the San Francisco 49ers he was hired because he was the fiery guy the guy that can relate to anybody have a lot of
Fun this hasn’t been fun for him at all but their offense has been abysmal absolutely terrible their team last night gets cooked our defense gets cooked by Joe flacko to secure a playoff spot towards the end of the year and jets fans are basically sitting here
Saying is this what we just got to go through this and I think that’s just been the decision that has been made like hey yeah this is going to suck we know it’s going to suck next year it’s going to be the answer a lot of jets
Fans are not Believers in Salah I’m not you know not Believers at all so him coming back another year if there’s any poor performance early in the year next year whenever Aaron’s back boy it is going to get so loud and Michael andb a couple weeks ago said they’re putting
Everything on Aaron well Aaron’s not here Aaron’s not here that’s a lot of pressure for next year sure it’s all going to be on I assume they feel that but damn it did not look like they’re going to be a team that’s going to contend next year if just Aaron’s back
But who knows I know but I think we got to give Salah more credit I don’t know if you noticed he went from kind of this move to more of putting his hands on his knees and watching the game last night like that Urban Meyer on a sideline yeah
You know what I mean what game was that I forget what it was the national champion any time that they were losing pretty much yeah whether coaching or not yeah he had he was wh he had to whistle yep went from the fox set to the
Sideline MH in the game might have been Ohio State Michigan yeah last year at at the at Ohio State he can’t help it either he’s just there well and then he can take a knee too if they go in and you know do the hole oh that’s is worry
You know that’s why I’m happy he is on TV has gone back coaching even though seemingly everybody wants him but I do appreciate that Salah has changed it because a lot of people on the internet said the only adjustment and I actually got this tweet sent to me from a couple
Jets fans uh the only adjustment that Salah makes all game is where he puts his arms oh no and that’s yeah he goes from here to here to there you know that’s all he’s working on is like different stances like it’s a yoga class Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes yeah
Maybe yeah maybe he’s dancing is a great song by the way going to be teaching my daughter that I assume in a little bit but he I don’t think anybody thinks he’s done great no you know what I mean you look at St they think you look on the
Other side you look at stefansky unbelievable lost a bunch of quarterbacks lost their best running back lost everybody on the roster SE kicker and punter lineman and just plug and play Andrew Barry finds the right players to put him in there it’s like the Jets had the opportunity to do that
You know all year and they did not no and I think the decision was made early that we are just going to wait for next year mhm that is what we’re going to do and uh that would suck as a fan base oh man but the sun is brightest after the
Darkest Dawn yeah the sun sometimes what well if it’s cloudy out then what is it still is it still bright there’s no clouds in the sky in New York City we were just there was cloudy the entire time no no in the metaphor the darkest night has clouds it’s been dark for long
And the Sun is going to come out it’s going to be blue sky post clouds post clouds yeah so maybe it needs to be the Sun is bright as post clouds after the darkest Dawn mhm and that is what we’re thinking is going to happen with the New
York Jets maybe but if they stay Buffalo Bill still exists yeah they’re still there dolphin’s pretty good this year Patriots possibly get get a really good quarterback that it’s getting loud dud that makes sense though because for a guy like him to have as dark of a beard
As he does like he knows he’s not getting fired otherwise that would be so gray so like he’s not showing any signs of stress whatsoever especially in New York like I think he does realize like okay and obviously Trevor Simeon and you know like their Line’s not great and all
That kind of stuff but that the other thing that people have been saying is like their defense didn’t look good last night either and you know obviously flacko is just kind of come out of nowhere like a thunderbolt this year but like that that’s his calling card same
Thing you know it’s like their defense is and again we we talk about it with like the Bears from a couple years ago like Well when the defense is kind of supposed to go out there and hold the team to 10 or fewer points every single
Week like that kind of wears thin later in the season but just based on like his his facial reactions and kind of his posture and everything like he does kind of look like a guy who knows like all right well this season’s a wash it’s down the drain like next year is is
Really my final chance to kind of Salvage this whole thing Nathaniel hacky cannot wait for next year you know what I mean he’s got a couple rough ones I don’t know how he’s handling them I assume he’s super positive and optimistic because that’s how you have
To be as a coach but he’s got to know that it’s it’s not looking great if we don’t come back and dominate next year good luck out there Jets fans it’ll be worth it we’ll get him hopefully Aaron’s really good Aaron’s really good he’s really really good and he can put you in
The right play he can make the right decision he knows the offense like the back of his hands remember Zack Wilson gets off for a half their team was phenomenal true so like you know like is Aaron capable of doing that I think that’s what you’re going to be drawing
Hope from I think he will be because he’s Aaron Rogers with a lot of lot of those there’s a lot of this especially now and you know those uh those competitors at that highest level you give them couple of those loudly too publicly so then they can publicly dunk
On you yeah like that is what they right you know what I mean back in the day there wasn’t social media and you didn’t really hear and see everything but like Michael Jordan taking that message at that restaurant from the coach where he said like great to see you look okay
Very handsome I’d like to buy I like to buy your dinner you’re best player I’ve ever seen in my life have a good one here and Michael Jordan was like that’s son of a [ __ ] George buy me dessert they’re F they’re looking Tom Brady looking for ways to get motivated and
Inspired and like it’s a spiteful thing it is that is what it is coaches and it’s like Aaron has a lot of that from this year again think about what happened when he had a lot to draw from in Co years you know when he was the
Enemy of everybody and the worst person of all time and this guy stinks and everything like that what happened back toback MVPs oh yeah yeah he won the MVP both years the co stuff oh okay which he will talk about I assume later in life for sure yeah I assume that’ll be so
They got a lot to pull from and when Zack Wilson was balling and making the right decisions and doing the right things with the ball and putting it in places that he had to was like they were very good so you just got to deal with an entire offseason and an entire season
Of sucking now there’s a team that we thought in a transition era you know who knows what the expectations were it’s been a roller coaster it’s been an up it’s been a down year it’s been something like there’s the future set in stone or we going to have to rebuild
This thing like every other franchise seems to have to do the Green Bay Packers go from Brett Favre to Aaron Rogers to Jordan love what will Jordan love be what will he be well seemingly good Jordan Love’s going to be a guy but will the team around him be enough as he
Continues to develop into the elite quarterback that we assume he will be in about a year or two which is normally the trajectory of these great quarterbacks Bill bich talked about that the other day with Tom Brady and then with Josh Allen now in a must-win game a
Game in which the Packers win and then they win the final week they’re going to make the playoffs and first transition era even though it’s been a roller coaster up and down we thought the Packers defense would be taking on Nick Mullins without Jer Alexander who elected himself Captain last week for
The Carolina Panthers won the coin toss that almost ruined the decision-making process then goes back to the sideline nobody tells me anything couple days later he’s suspended for the biggest game of the year against the Minnesota Vikings it is not Nick Mullins jiren Hall is gonna be playing oh all right
Obviously the stallion out a BYU I think they had a lot of high hopes for him whenever he was playing early in the year there was a lot of great conversation about him now the ponut stole some headlines over there Nick Mullin goes for 300 400 yards and Jordan
J Addison and Justin Jefferson are all the way back healthy TJ Hawkinson out which is not fun but they still have weapons and Kevin okell’s gonna do his thing I assume this is you know last two weeks here let’s see what we got with jiren hall for Kevin oconnell that’s
Going to make you feel at least a little bit better no this is not if you look at the Packers like historically I mean look what Tommy DeVito did to him a couple weeks ago like typically when it comes with guys who are more mobile and can kind of you know when everything
Breaks down can get out of the pocket and move and run like they typically do not perform very well against those guys like I would much rather them have a guy like Mullen who’s going to stay in the pocket who’s probably going to give you three to four opportunities to you know
Turn the ball over and we’ll see I mean jiren young or he jiren Hall obviously hasn’t hasn’t started a bunch of games he doesn’t have the experience but just because what I saw from Tommy DeVito a couple weeks ago like this actually worries me a little like when I saw this
This morning I was like oh [ __ ] i’ I’d much rather Nick Mullen be playing this game than than jiren Hall but we’ll see I mean we’ll see it’s it’s an elimination game for both teams so um but no I’m I’m not it’s not like oh thank God jiren hallar and Packers are
Going to win with ease on Sunday night I actually am feeling a little bit more queasy about this one than I was beforeand you I mean if you don’t it’s it’s bad news cuz you know jiren Hall hawkins’s out Addison was limited I think the other day they don’t know if
He’s going to go or not like it should be a game it should be a game where the Packers oh absolutely they all are well there’s been a couple games where the Packers should win and then there’s games that you think they won’t win and
Then they do win so it’s like this team I think is exactly who we thought they were going into the season like it’s a transition Year we will find out what have we learned Jordan loves a guy yes right absolutely absolutely you look look at his stats I mean like they won
He’s 27 touchdowns and he has 11 picks like he’s he has far exceeded I think a lot of people’s expectations he’s he’s going to be very good and we know you got leadership all over the place you know people that are even saying I am yep and then other people saying yeah
You’re right and then you just going out there yeah and just pray the defense will get fixed next year like we’ve been praying for the last you know 15 years and but but yeah you’re right I mean it has been up and down like this is kind
Of I think where right where the Packers kind of should be like when you look at the tra trajectory of like a a team kind of going through all these different changes um but yeah we we we’ll see I mean I like I said I they they should
Win this game but that doesn’t mean anything okay well let’s talk about another division uh not division a conference game that is going to be huge down the line the Baltimore Ravens are taking on the Miami Dolphins here we go you want to talk about like a heat check
Real quick yes you know like hey what do we have now the Ravens obviously had the Niners last week which is a great one for like Hey how do we fair in the playoffs against another team that everybody’s expecting to go far they did great they did they were fantastic they
Went into Santa Clara and did something to the ners that none of us nobody including Mike Flores had any chance of happening and now you got the Miami Dolphins who gr a show on Turf just a few weeks ago now Tyreek Hill has an injury for a little bit Jaylen Wadd gets
Banged up a little bit they were watching Hard Knocks though doesn’t seem like it matters this is beautiful for the AFC now if Baltimore wins number one seed in the AFC home advantage throughout the entire playoffs everybody’s got to come to MN bankfield over there in Baltimore and perform in
Front of a very Rowdy fan base that’ll make sure not only the weather is going to be cooking a little bit sure weather’s going to be cooking a little bit those fans are cooking too they’re taking notes all week thinking about [ __ ] to talk to opposing teams I mean
That is a great fan base over there in Miami if we look behind the doors on Hard Knocks on Tuesday nights at 9:00 great move to 9:00 yeah absolutely great move to 9:00 feels like they have a real culture Gump you’re a DieHard Miami Dolphins fan you’re from North
Left Canada love the team on the farthest low right in the United States of America Uncle Dan’s around the building this game how are you viewing it because you guys could still get the number one seed in the AFC as well especially if you’re able to get this
Win this weekend obviously I’m uh surprisingly very confident going into this game I do not know why I just feel now who did you pick last night who’ I pick last night yeah Jets plus seven and a half they were marching to back door cover if
We’re being fair I did see that I was sweating a little bit I was sweating a little bit but the brown shut it down definitely wrong side there but uh how are we swinging the bat right now though pretty good pretty good Javon Holland I mean interception parlay last night both
QBs lock it no big deal with a defensive touchdown yeah need that one no big deal lock it up Javon holl and if he plays on Sunday that’s huge for the Dolphins team he calls their plays when he’s in there he’s been out since had the uh Hail Mary return for a
Touchdown oh Black Friday Black Friday yeah I do remember yeah I think I mean it just feels like everybody’s Ravens Ravens Ravens Ravens it just feels like a good time to be going in there for whatever reason not good Ian Rapaport the Dolphins have officially ruled out wide receiver Jaylen Wadd against the
Ravens with his high ankle sprain they were able to compete without Tyreek they were able to do it without Jaylen water whenever they had to McDaniel I assume has known this all week so this is not news to him they will be ready for a good game let’s talk about the defensive
Coordinator for the Miami Dolphins here we go okay now this isn’t from this year but this is from last year when Vic fangio uh was with the Denver Broncos speaking about the Baltimore Ravens I think this is like uh I think this is how he just feels about the organization
As a whole remember he’s D coordinator now for the Miami Dolphins uh did you have a problem with the last play that Baltimore ran yeah I thought it was kind of [ __ ] but I expected it from them you know I’ve 30 seven years in pro ball I’ve never seen anything like that so
But it was to be expected and we expected it why did you expect it from them cuz I just know how they operate you know they that’s just their you know mode of operation there player safety is secondary and die is that something anybody even really talked about that
They had 42 straight or whatever the number was 100 yard games and H we didn’t talk about it during the week but I’m sure the players were aware of it you guys made them well aware of yeah uh Vic Fango was answering questions about the Baltimore Ravens running at the end
Of the game instead of kneeling it out so that they could preserve and continue their 100 yard rushing game streak that they had at 42 games continu to 43 Vic vano on the other side was not thrill visibly on camera upset and then he talks about the ravens as a whole I
Would assume this week on Hard Knocks the things we’re going to hear from that defensive side are going to be phenomenal we got another great matchup shout out to the NFL schedule makers good work they’re throwing 102 right now on the on the paint kind of we got 10
1:00 games three 4:00 games on Sunday so we got to figure that out yeah you’re right we need to disperse these a little bit more evenly for the NFL fans as a whole a New Year’s Eve thing with all the different programming on the the channels and whatnot well let’s remember
What is the ratings and what isn’t the ratings absolutely anyways let’s move along to a team who is still in it for the number one seed in the AFC right there this team’s on a lake okay MH and when the weather turns it’s windy miserable
Cold in their team for a long time that they would walk out into the streets and tailgate and put dog MK on to watch mhm was not good no bad really awful laughing stock bottom of the League what did they continue to do game after game year after year season after
Season show up show up show up show up show up had a little glimmer of hope Baker Mayfield takes the boys to the playoffs beats the Steelers in the playoffs everybody’s gone from that team now we’re back at the bottom not a quarterback he gets injured get a backup
Quarterback he gets injured we sign a guy who’s damn near 40 off the couch in the middle of the Season what does he do I don’t know play the best quarterback in the entire NFL last night he put on a show but this isn’t the first time this
Man’s been around for decades a former Super Bowl champion Super Bowl MVP used to drive his kids around just about two months ago now he’s moving to bronze up and down the field securing a playoff spot for the entire city and program ladies and gentlemen Joe Flaco Joe
Joe how we doing you guys are living the life over there man how about you guys Joe it’s it’s pretty good now I will say your life seems to be pretty fantastic as well congrats dude hey congratulations man this is really cool obviously we’ve heard your story you’ve
Had to talk about it here over the last couple of weeks because it’s so abnormal about being on a couch for 11 weeks being a man who’s as accomplished as you are appreciated by former teammates and coaches as you are not being able to have the opportunity to join a team or
At least prove yourself in this backup quarterback year and then boom you become the guy your mental toughness uh the way you’re viewing it all has been nothing short of phenomenal Joe you need to know that now let’s talk about it a little bit let’s talk about it a little
Bit so there was alleged last week I think it came out that you or your agent reached out to the Jets and said like hey you know Joe like bu teammates showcase that last night after the game everybody came over and dapped you up was there other teams that you guys
Reach out to or was it a waiting game for people to reach out to you like what was those first 11 weeks including training camp I guess like for you you’re just sitting around waiting or are you guys actively seeking jobs with how many backup quarterbacks were needed this
Year yeah it was mostly a waiting game I mean listen I can’t I know my I know my agent I know I know he was sitting at home kind of getting impatient and wanting to reach out to a bunch of different teams and do a bunch of
Different things when things came up um but listen and I I feel like I’ve been around the block a little bit in terms of how this works and you kind of just have to sit back and wait um you know you you want to you definitely want to
Make sure you’re proactive to a certain extent because you don’t want to miss an opportunity um just because you didn’t ask but at the same time um you know teams have to want to bring you in so it’s ultimately up to those guys to want
To do it what were you hearing like why was it not happening was there any reason I wasn’t hearing anything I mean I was just kind of sitting at home and you know who knows who knows what the reason is I I really was trying not to
Worry about that just trying to stay in my lane and do my thing and and have faith that it was going to happen at some point it was probably right on the brink of like man uh it’s getting pretty late in the year um you know you start
To crack a little bit you start to have a little bit of those feelings like am I you know is is this going to work out um because there was part of me in the offseason that was you know at least trying to talk myself into the fact that
Being at home might be a thing that would work out better than actually signing with somebody in April May June July August just because you know at that point you don’t know what the team wants for you and you don’t know what kind of team it’s going to be that
You’re on and what your role is going to be um so there’s definitely a lot of you know there’s definitely a lot of positives in being able to sit at home and have a team that really wants to win late in the year be able to call you so
That was kind of my mindset but as the season go goes on like I said you start to crack a little bit and you’re just like man is it is it going to work out or not you know yeah well that’s a part of being you know an elite athlete like
You are when doubt Creeps in you know you got to get that mother which is one of your which we appreciate that that is one of your go-tos we love that that is one of your words here on this particular program you got to get those things out there though are you working
Out every single day like you’re an NFL quarterback like how how were you able to just get dropped in and go for 300 oh and saw the first game by the way it was beautiful against the Rams it was early in the game I don’t know if you heard us
Talk about this or if you even know that our show exists but you threw a ball and you overthrew Somebody by maybe 15 yards yeah at least and it felt like that was like a reminder to maybe yourself also to stefanski and everybody like let’s remember okay what is happening here
Have you been throwing all year were you working out all year can you tell us how you were just dropped in there out of nowhere and performed phenomenally you know one of my brothers actually saw that clip and was just pumped up about you you you talking about that he loved
That part of it for some reason and and I can’t I can’t lie it was pretty cool to hear um but no it’s not like it’s it’s impossible to do the same thing as you would be if you were with the team at practice every day throwing the live
Guys doing all that stuff I basically extended my offseason and stayed in the gym and did all those types of things but in terms of throwing the football I was doing it two sometimes three days a week throwing the spots I mean you guys have probably heard at this point um I
Was throwing my younger brother my dad was out in the field kind of spot catching for us and things like that I was making sure that if I did get signed that my arm could deal with what it was gonna with what it was going to go
Through over the next you know however long I was going to be with a team feels like it’s a perfect fit for you in Cleveland right now which is obviously something that we would have never said five through a year ago you know because the Baltimore Ravens run with Cleveland
And Cleveland and Baltimore’s history and everything like that Cleveland gives a team to Baltimore Baltimore in return gifts here you go here’s a veteran ready for absolutely everything but I saw an interview you did last night I think with Fitz during the tunnel talk which you handled very well but you said it
Was very obvious like within the first week of being in the building that it was a tight team like it was uh a good team a good culture what was it that you saw from stefansky culture in there and what have you learned about him in the
Team over these short few weeks well I think just when you become a part of when you’re a new guy stepping into a locker room and like you’re you’re you get received the way I felt like I did I think that’s the first indication of okay maybe this team is for real and
Then the way they went about their business and like you know just the first couple weeks I was here and the games that we went through and you kind of start to find out about why these guys have as many wins as they did you know coming into this point uh the
Resiliency man is just is just incredible um these guys have been dealing with all kinds of injuries all year and you just step in and when you step when you come into that locker room and those team meeting rooms you never would have known there was any doubt in
Anybody minds or anything like that now whether there was any of that creeping in you know it’s a credit to those guys to to just put on a straight face and keep moving forward so one of the guys that you’ve con obviously Amari Cooper breaks the franchise record last unreal
Congrats congrats to you too you’re a part of that you you’re going to be right there forever on the thing there so congrats that’s fantastic 265 you two have had an immediate connection but this tight end so when you walk in that building and you see them and you go
Well what is that you know the way the way he is built and how fast he is and everything like that and then you learn like he just ate fire just like his whole face and then like two days later he’s he’s like yep doesn’t matter my
Face is back like superum you and this guy have had an incredible connection and he’s obviously playing his best football and living up to everything that he could possibly be with you being his quarterback it’s been fun to watch how come and when did you first realize
Like yeah there’s there’s not a lot of humans in the history of Earth that are created like this guy yeah man he’s incredible uh funny story like they must have been watching one of sav’s videos from like a couple weeks a couple weeks before I got there a week or two before
I got there so like the first thing that he’s doing is just coming up to me and saying Joe Flaco Joe Flaco and um you know I didn’t realize that they were watching those videos I mean everybody sends me his videos and which they’re awesome baby that’s awesome we watch them too
Yeah they must watching video yeah they must have been watching vide of his like a week before I got there and the next thing you know I show up in the locker room and I mean he’s just an incredible teammate his personality the energy that he brings is is just incredible and
Obviously you see the way he’s built and how well he runs and just like getting the ball in his hands and letting him move towards our goal line it’s something special to watch yeah he you two have been fantastic that natural feel that you have and the ability to
Know what every defense is going to do because you’re you’re an old ass man now you’re old dude hey R you are old I watched you whenever I was growing up yeah right you are I don’t know that I don’t know if that’s true but I like the
Stor to go you look young and Tone’s going to ask you a question about how you’re playing here and about a matter of moments but like everything you’ve been through obviously helps you every single game the internet with you right now top tier unreal top tier internet
Happening with you right now you are a big time baby face on the internet right now you need to know that especially with this story could end up it’s going to be maybe greatest Internet run for any football person in the history of football and the League’s been around a
Long time did you see this particular tweet here it was Majestic here from Cameron practice against Ed Reed and Ray Lewis every day for 10 years and y’all thought he’d fold to Sauce Garder okay now no balls won SAU Gardner’s way and you are yawning okay pass bedtime all
You understand you’re old old man time way Past Bedtime yeah okay so you’re an old ass man who’s fallen asleep on a sideline while throwing for 300 yards in clinching a playoff spot for the Cleveland Browns but like how much of how much recall are you having in these
Game like in the first couple games was it just like riding a bike for you was there how how much is like coming back to you every single week seemingly there’s nothing like getting thrown out on an NFL football field I mean especially when you’ve done it for
A decent amount of time and played as many games as I have it definitely comes back to you pretty quick because you get all those same s like all those same senses kind of come rushing in and it it takes you right back to where you are
Especially like I said I’ve said it before like when you’re in Cleveland and you can smell the grass and you’re in front of that crowd so it all comes running right back to you and it’s just I don’t know it’s an awesome feeling so the having the added success that we’ve
Had the last few weeks just makes it that much more special what is what’s the is it Turf there in Cleveland or what is it no it’s grass it’s what it’s you just want to keep getting me to say my A’s the way I say East Coast I’m
I’m an East Coast guy man I’m used to guys you know kind of getting after my accent it is what it is yeah had there I didn’t know how many times we’re gonna be able to I mean you you sound you sound like you got a little Pittsburgh
To littleit you actually from yeah a little bit yeah little bit there uh it is like whenever they put your resume together at the end of this thing the guys you’ve played against yeah and then like the guys you completed passes to and now this 2023 Resurgence It’s A
Beautiful Thing Tone has a question for you Joe yeah Joe I’m a Steelers fan so I watched a lot of Joe Flaco career um and I get me saying this is gonna or even asking this is going to be stupid because the run that you had in 2012
With the Super Bowl was all time but does this this like this stretch that you’re on with the Browns does that rank up there as far as the the best that you have played in your career you know I think if you look at at it statistically you could probably
Say that but I think you know some of the I I think it would be hard to say um I think in terms of how this feels I mean it’s one of it’s definitely one of the most special runs uh up to this point so we just got to keep it going um
But you know it’s not it doesn’t always come down to statistics and throwing for 300 yard games and throwing touchdowns and and things like that um you know there’s other ways to play good games so it would be tough to rank it off the top
Of my head but I can just tell you the way tspn rank it okay tspn rank it now it just just just the way it feels like and then having grown kids and like more people more people that I like just couldn’t care more about to enjoy it
With um you can’t it’s tough to describe how special that part of it is so it happens in wrestling business where guys are at the top of WWE they have kids by the time they’re kids are old enough to be wrestling fans Dad Mom not there yet
Right not still there so then they go back and have a run and it’s like they’re getting a chance to like show their kids almost what they are like you’ve heard about this you’ve seen highlights of this you have Uncle Ray Lewis talking about this and Uncle Bart
Scott on ESPN going bananas about Jo Flaco but getting to show them is it a perspective thing you think like does it make you lock in a little bit more does it make you what does it do kind of from that whole standpoint yeah there’s there’s definitely something about it
Man listen I played a couple games for the Jets starting three years ago and you know we we weren’t winning a lot obviously and I I came home and I just still remember my kids looking up at me and they were like 30 to 30 to 10 dad 30
To 10 like what the hell and and and I remember getting on the floor with them and like for the first time in my life like Googling Joe flacko and watching highlights against us like beating the Pittsburgh Steelers just so I could just so I could like show them kind of you
Know who who who their dad was you know like hey I didn’t always lose 30 to 10 um and now to have this experience and get them experience it in real time uh is is unbelievable they’ll always remember it you know like they they they will always remember it in the
Perspective thought of it you know because I’m journalist I don’t know if you know that Joe I’m a journalist what’s so funny you laughing about Joe dude I can’t say I can’t say nothing about that you’ve been unbelievable I’m a journalist let’s go away from game might lose game you know thinking about
Cracking letting the doubt kind of seep in maybe you’re not going to have football change your cuz you I think you said in one of the postgame speeches in the locker room where you said I feel like I’m a 10-year-old out here is that real like what and why is that you think
Listen man like no matter what you do for a living you look at it as a job to some extent um but I think you still have to remind yourself every now and then how lucky you are even when you’re playing day in and day out you have to
Remind yourself you have to take a step back and remind yourself how lucky you are are to play a child’s game and people always say that but it’s just so hard to do when you’re in the moment so when you get to have uh a couple years
Of you know not playing as much football as you wanted to and then sitting at home on the couch a little bit it definitely can kind of change your view on things and just allow you to kind of approach these games with a little bit different perspective and it it allows
You to just play more you know however you go out there and play more free and more confident it definitely helps with that yeah and I assume you’re enjoying the wins a little bit more than maybe you did in the past too right there’s there’s no doubt man I
Mean listen there’s a lot of wins at some points in the career and then you go through tough stretches uh just like everybody does and you it reminds you of how hard it is to win in this league so uh so when you win not not this Joe 2023
Joe Flaco shit’s easy we win that’s what we we just win I’m happy you’re enjoying it Joe you deserve it pal Connor has a question for you yeah Joe obviously you know kind of nle locker room in these last five weeks and one of the things
That happens I feel like when guys come into a new place whether it’s work or you know a team is you get a nickname and last night on X there are a lot of people throwing nicknames around there was a Cool Joe 2.0 there was also a gray
Joe kind of like burrow there was a snoozy Joe obviously cuz and then there was also which I thought was the best one footsteps flco uh have you been D he created that one just so you know well that that that that’s besides the point that is besides the point it has been
Catching on and people like it but have you been dubbed anything in the in the locker room or you just kind of people coming up to you and you going up to people Tiger Woods big dog all the time yeah I don’t think so man you have
To ask you can probably asking joku and stuff like that what some of the guys are saying but uh it’s crazy just the way they look at you they look at me like I’m I’m like 60 years old so who knows what the nicknames are I’m sure
They’ll keep coming in uh and hopefully every everybody has fun with it man the internet like you guys are talking about the internet people are creative man it’s insane what people can come up with it’s it’s a lot of fun to people listen I try to avoid looking at that stuff but
You can’t everybody sends you everything and you end up seeing it all it’s it’s it’s a blast yeah shout out to your brother by the way sh sh our clip to you man big big fan of that guy what’s his name Tom all right baby Tomy Tom Tom
Tommy Flo Ty has a question for you Joe Joe obviously you know you’re in the moment right now and everything is incredible you guys still have everything ahead of you but from where you were at uh just like a couple you know months ago have has your mind
Started to kind of wander to to next year yet just like the fact that like hey there’s a chance that you’re going to get another $100 million and like you do still have a lot of good football left like has any of that type of stuff started to creep into your head yet
About wanting to play more whether that’s in Cleveland or or somewhere else or or whatever may happen um have you started to think think about any of that kind of stuff yet or is it tough when you guys are kind of right in the middle of this you know potential playoff run
Here only to the extent that like I think people still even even though I’ve kind of made it clear that I want to play people still have that question like dude you’re sure you still want to play and I’m like yeah dude I I I still
Want to go and uh you know why why do you think they Wonder because you’re old family what do you think I don’t know you know I think listen I think part of it is it’s not too many times that you play with a team for a really long time
And then it doesn’t work out and you kind of get a little injured and this happens and that happens but you’re willing to kind of take that backup rle and do this and in hopes that at some point you can get back to that level
Where you think that you should be um I think it I you know I think to a lot of people you can look at that from the outside and say oh man he could have hung it up a year or two ago and and been perfectly fine with you know
However he felt about it um but that’s just not the what I wanted to do I just kind of felt like I needed to keep going and felt like I owed it to myself to keep going so I think that definitely factors in into it how’s the
Body it feels great man I mean listen these guys are doing a great job of protecting me I got a lot of room in the pocket right now and um you know as a quarterback it’s always week to week you know one week you’re completely clean
The next week you get your you know you get blown up 30 times and you don’t feel as good but it’s been great man you having all those answers by the way from playing so long is such a weapon for the Cleveland Browns which doesn’t make
Sense why nobody else you know you get hit in the head quinnon yeah hey you knee Drive where where was the flag on that by the way oh I asked the same question Joe I anybody else is getting that call by the way especially this year how about you need driving right
There though how about that huh how about it classic footsteps how about classic footsteps and then Ford obviously finishing it for you what a great job yeah that was awesome yeah it is awesome but like body feels good huh you were running running Sprints all year like I put a hamstring what was
That two weeks ago I P a hamstring in here running a Sprint I’m 36 I’m younger than you are like body feels good like you’re in great shape right now it seems like right yeah I feel great man Hey listen I you know I I’ve gotten in a
Routine the last 15 years of kind of understanding how to take care of my body it’s just kind of part of life now um so you know shout out to my trainer Brian Kane I mean I owe it to him I mean he’s kind of kept me in shape over the
Last 15 years and it’s you know he’s it’s been unbelievable you eat weird or you eat like good food listen I I I follow stuff a good a good portion of the year and then I go off the rails a good portion of the year
You know it is what it is you have to have you have to have do everything you know you know in little spur so I enjoy I enjoy my sweets I gota gotta keep it down with those but um you know holiday season to Big Win oh yeah yeah he’s
Probably always a jimmies too well that’s what I’m saying Chuck B for for sure for sure hey that place started uh potentially with their little cicada Festival Parade they had Jimmy’s Famous great food unbelievable food yeah but people are saying that Co started at the cicada Festival that they had how did
You hear that Joe I don’t know if you heard that I didn’t hear that no oh it must have just been a rumor I guess started that place is awesome ask Ron Cleveland they’ll tell you yeah ask them how it’s going all right Joe we appreciate taking up this amount of time
In your day okay yeah fellas I appreciate it man it was been it’s been awesome congrats on the run right now football’s football so who knows what the hell everything else looks like but I’m happy that you’ll be able to have this run forever right now with Cleveland Browns and shout out to
Cleveland being team took a shot on you Andrew Barry’s a good man you got it all right cheers man ladies and gentlemen quarterback with Cleveland Browns future Hall of Famer Joe flacko yeah Joe that guy loves ball dude yeah yeah that accent I I don’t know if I knew
That it was it was to that extent so stavy stavi sorry like you hear it in there oh yeah yes I’m happy to hear that he’s hearing that M you know what I mean cuz he puts together some real magic oh yeah hilarious real magic mhm he his
Special I watch it on Netflix as well okay what a legend dude oh yeah I didn’t know he was as short as he was that’s a big part of the whole thing no idea cuz he says people come up to him and say Hey Big Man and he said I’m 56 or
Whatever I know what you’re saying so that makes it even better by the way yes the amount of confidence that human has with how he is and now Joe Joey flat Joe flat hey let’s go stop it stop it keep it going stop now Ravens bronze would be
A phenomenal playoff uh situation for all parties just like Rams and lions with Matthew Stafford potentially going back to Detroit I really appreciate how you know Joe Flaco is handling this entire thing yeah and Kevin stefansky I mean I think Herby said it last night
He’s like he’s in the coach of the year conversation it’s like I I hope I haven’t heard like he should be I haven’t heard anything I’ve not heard that I don’t know how much Coach of the Year conversation is happening anywhere like I’ve just pushing Shane siken
Because I’m a Colts fan demo obviously should be McDaniel Harbaugh should certainly be in a lot of love yeah there’s a lot of you know mcdc obviously yeah should be but how about stansky how many different players has he had to gone go through in very key positions
For both for their entire team and they just adjusted made plays Andrew Barry should be talking about he obviously Joe flacko yeah FL Joe Flack would have seemingly he said his agent was getting impatient so they were just waiting on people to call and like reaching out to
People and he went to the Jets so it’s not like he’s like I’m going a good team only a good team yeah it’s like Andrew Barry is like all right here we go let now it was late could have happened earlier but better late than never like
Everybody else did and now he’s just balling in his contract nothing very manageable very very very it’s perfect setup over there we you and I both heard it on uh Red Zone a few weeks ago they’re first I believe in in salary cap that’s on IR hurt or injured or whatever
Um but if they end up being the five seed and they play the winner of the AFC South like they’re going to be favored in that game no matter no matter who it’s against I believe whether it’s Texans Colts or the Jags oh we’ll see
You I think even though it’s going to be on the road so maybe not but I I mean I tweeted don’t want Joe FL I tweet six weeks ago that they had no chance to win a playoff game now my defense that was before they got Joe Flaco things change
A lot when you get Joe Flaco very different team now with Joe Flaco and you know there was a jersey stuff happening oh yeah yeah lines around the corner for Jersey swaps for Flaco jerseys which crazy turn in Watson jerseys or just turn in Old jerseys whatever you want if they’re smart
Though I mean I’m paying full price top dollar for a Flo Jersey why don’t you go get one I will even I’m I’m not just saying this like Packers have the opportunity to make the playoffs obviously so you’ll stick with the Packers for sure for sure I want Joe
Flaco to win the Super Bowl period like no no if ifs ANS or butts about it that would be in yeah it just in Statue never see him in a Baltimore Ravens jersey again just like P Manning when he went to Denver didn’t see him in the Colts at
All he’ll have a statue it’s probably what 9 ft tall cuz they have to make yeah it has to be a little bit bigger than actual size he’d be the first player you could ever make a statue in an organization bot there’s a lot of great players who played for Jim Bry was
One of the greatest all time Rest in Peace by the way you just absolutely Tony you need to stop with what you just did right there Phil Dawson yeah sure Tim pouch Josh cribs Manzel for a little well I don’t know if that worked out how anybody was expecting but it found out
He didn’t watch any film yeah so like I mean I appreciate that he just said it you jooy menzo but I don’t think Browns fans are necessarily throw and if he’s good then he’s still there and they don’t have Joe Flaco what a magical run it could be CJ
Mosley going like could you ever Cleveland the chant their chant for you in Cleveland it’s like you go win some ball games in a place that’s been starving for a championship yeah you can become a hero quick especially whenever you handle it with that much humility you know that’s a working time yeah
Those are working people and he’s handling it beautifully good for Joe flacko good for the bronze and Ty said like he wants FCO to win the Super Bowl there’s been a lot of talk about the Patriots possibly bringing in Russ Wilson next year if Joe Flaco’s available and the Patriots bring in
Russell Wilson I will [ __ ] a brick because I’ll be so upset that flacko isn’t in you know New England blue and silver and red what did you say you said 100 million I don’t know if he’s going to get another 100 million maybe should maybe maybe 200 probably like 30 to 50

National champion a Super Bowl champion a Ridder Cup winner a president of a state yeah ladies and gentlemen father of 10 Co Survivor AJ hon granddaddy of them all AJ on uh Monday we’re going to be out there for game day tomorrow game day Monday then we’ll be doing field pass on the
Sideline of the Rose Bowl for Alabama Michigan we have the dumbest lives of all time AJ but we’re lucky the Big 10 Legend AJ Hawk is going to be with us over there at the Rose Bowl yeah I tell you what I’ve uh I’ve never even stepped
Foot in this stadium so I’m pumped to get out there to to watch the game I play rosev yeah you play played in a couple of them yeah I’ve never uh unless I’m just have you know severe CTE I do not recall playing W that’s a shame I I
Maybe should have done more research I I just heard Big 10 roseb yeah you always go Pack 12 roseb if you’re great and you’re in the Big 10 you’re GNA play in the Rose Bowl at some point it’s granddaddy of them allall this guy never had the rose in between him mouth makes
Sense he had that jawser size instead of thorny you know they have that thing loser I didn’t know that you never did the parade AJ Hawk never got a wow one of these Mickey Moss never said look at that face none of that you never won a
Big 10 or you just win the national we won the Big 10 but yeah it was National Championship we went and I don’t know that’s kind of changed around I think over the years with all the different divisions and all the stuff they football change college football change has changed
Last year over the years once Rose Bowl was not part of it anyways lucky to be out there it’s beautiful it’s gorgeous can’t wait to do it Ohio state has a big one tonight AJ taking on Missouri early lean for you you boys underdogs favorites question marks who’s playing
Who’s not playing Missouri’s got the dudes playing who had a incredible year for the Tigers in Cotton bow Classic this evening down there at AT&T Stadium how’s Ohio feel about it you guys taking it serious Ohio State fans oh yeah I think they’re definitely taking it serious I mean especially the fact that
They the quarterback that played quarterback all year is at Syracuse right now you have Devon Brown stepping in so I think that’s the biggest thing how is he gonna play who is gonna play what’s going on I Know M Marvin’s out there but he’s not practicing but he’s
There right that’s the yeah it’s weird speculation hasn’t practiced could play feels like Ryan day maybe Clos Sicilian y okay you know so sees the things up on uh takes those trippy medicine sees the chess board on the sky and they called Ryan’s Gambit and he might be just
Playing a little head games with drink wits drink vits uh down there at Missouri saying Mar Harris maybe he’s here we’ll maybe prare for him has he practiced no no no practice doesn’t have to but don’t you guys say Marvin Harrison’s like the hardest working guy of all time like that’s his thing
Practice is his that’s what he does so he’s not practicing that mean he’s he’s stocked up on practice earlier that’s why because if he’s playing tonight must see television yes if Marvin Harrison Jr top five pick in everybody’s eyes no matter what okay everybody’s eyes top
Five pick even in the NFL thing and obviously we’ve seen how successful if he plays in this game against Missouri tonight like a that would be completely abnormal in the world that we’re in right now oh yeah completely abnormal huge risk is why it would be very
Abnormal got hurt last year but also yeah and it was an incredible he plays he plays the rest of that game against Georgia last year who go on btcu by a thousand who knows what Happ happens there but if he plays I mean he’s going to ball right I mean I
Mean he is going to absolutely ball and that would be a very cool thing for his legacy at Ohio State I would assume and how Ohio State fans would view the entire thing I mean yeah it would be just imagine the respect that he would gain from doing that but then at the
Same time you have to wait risk and people sayy we respect the hell out of what you’re doing and we I disagree take care of yourself and not be out here we know what’s in your future but either way yeah the guy’s awesome unbelievable career that’d be sweet if he did play
Tonight even if he comes out to warm-ups dressed and is going through Pat and goes I think it’ll be a big deal yeah and if if he dresses up and doesn’t play appreciate him committing to be uncomfortable the entire game know could have a hoodie hat on that’ be awful yeah
That’d be awful full pads no you’re not playing he’s probably taped up and everything too just to feel like it’s he’s part of the squad what’s the money do oh jeez am all right you all right yeah you’re good I bless you bless you bless
You what was it was that like a moth or something little dust why why’ that happen watch just is everything all right you moved something up there the other day I had something out of nowhere pickle then I feel perfectly fine mhm I think I have
Allergies yeah I don’t doubt it man I didn’t have these my whole life I don’t know if you can go to game day tomorrow my allergies are crazy sneeze like that always smokes they’re really tough out there too I heard pollen is huge counts through the roof right now espec
Roses that’d be irresponsible of me to roll the dice of my allergies yeah what happens if you sneeze on Lee you want that to happen no the fact that Lee has been able to travel around for this long and not develop an like I did not have
Allergies my whole life not at all and I think I’m getting them I genuinely think now granted did I have allergies and just didn’t address it to talk about maybe but this whole part time of the year here thing it’s getting me like my brother had allergies so I got to watch
That I’m like golly thank this is not normally a big allergy time isy time I don’t know how all the plants are why am I sneezing right now I think it’s more of a winter you have a cold type of time no me I don’t get cold what are we
Talking about call it off I assume it’s just a sage potentially but if it’s like May and your sneezing bingo so that’s when allergies happen is spring yeah I’d say March through yeah early summer when Bloom oh no need the need the cold medicine what’s that night I’m just
Chugging a bottle of nightall tonight you might have winter allergies that could be a new thing and we’re just finding out now yeah I didn’t have them all my life sense pop up finding new stuff all the time this is abnormal I don’t know what the hell just happened
Sneeze out of nowhere what the hell is that that was probably the aliens probably all those uaps UFOs they’re around you their spirits around you well I heard from the tuck Caron Network the other day boys we cannot talk about this especially about the what you guys are
Bringing up do not step into this world please for the sake of all Joe burrow tweeted the other day show me the aliens yes that’s fine with two exclamation points did you see that AJ Joe burrow yeah I was like he haed did Joe burrow
Get hacked why why is this and then just let it fly yeah that’s it and then Jake Browning was asked about backup Qui what are your thoughts he’s like I a got a worry about on Earth I’m I want to keep it moving there yeah it seems like
There’s a lot more CH know too he was at the white party that’s Illuminati right oh yeah you’re right I forgot he was at that allh party stop using the buzzwords don’t use the I word Tony jeez Lise sorry he was that what are you talking
About he sound like a bunch of CWS around no he was at the kumati party that ain’t a CW I don’t think you’re uh clever there I I don’t think anybody what do you mean I didn’t say the word you know it might be an alien Joe Flo
Okay let’s just call it how it is this dude was not on a team okay just chilling at home nothing doubts creeping in maybe nobody wants me maybe my NFL career is over you know my kids are at the stage of having a brain that can remember stuff and they’ve only seen me
Not play my best football they’ve never seen what that he was so I’ll show him a highlight here or there but that’s not like experiencing it now he gets dropped into this Cleveland Browns team and his kids are just like seeing his dad get his name chanted in another city that
He’s not even really known for known for he might have a statue up there at the end of this thing if it continues to go this dude might be AI this dude might be fake just had a real human conversation with him last hour yeah but they’re
Saying these things are smart these days so what do you think about Joe flacko why is this not normal and I think there’s going to be people now myself included that if a quarterback goes down for a team I’m on I’m just going to start roll a decks of quarterbacks that
Are recently retired that could potentially beat Joe flacko is is this something that’s repeatable and why is Joe flacko the guy that is just throwing darts all over the place AJ I don’t know I mean to the point of uh the question of Joe being an alien I do not know
Maybe he is a hybrid with how well he is playing especially coming off the couch with five kids and all he has on his plate but he has he’s he’s finding a way like he’s not just sitting back there like a statue that’s the thing I know
You talked to him in the first hour which he was awesome he seems like he he understands what’s going on and he’s also it feels like Joe is enjoying the moment he’s present in the moment but he also knows like hey there’s a lot more
Out there that we need to get and I don’t want this thing to end anytime soon I feel like everyone in Cleveland feels that way but the team around him man like look at this awesome like you got to feel you got to feel pretty good
Too to be turning your back to the defense like that for so long and to have such a great fake like you got to trust your teammates to make that throw so I give Joe a ton of credit their team around him’s I think they’re getting
Energy from this guy didn’t he say they all look at him like he’s 60 years old yeah the amount of swagger though on that play action you know having the ability to do that yeah he’s like the grandpa over there you know he’s been there done that with everything this
Whole run here not abnormal for Joe flacko Joe Flaco has done this very often it’s like that tweet from Cameron Cameron however this particular Twitter X account pronounces his name it’s like this dud used to practice against Ed Reed and Ray Lewis okay T sizzle also out there numerous others all over the
Place that locker room that he got dropped into and his personality I think we learned a little bit about last hour what a team what a dynamic and then has the success that he has bets on himself remember in the first one that last year the year they win the Super Bowl that
Was his cont he was a free agent after that so you’re talking about cashing in yeah and striking while iron is hot betting on yourself and going for it and doing it it’s like this dude’s phenomenal like it it is I don’t know how he’s been able to do it
Genuinely and now this is going to be an expectation though for people yeah and also why didn’t anybody’s team sign him and that’s a whole another conversation that’s taking place yeah I mean all those teams are kicking themselves like I assume Vikings like with with Jaylen
Herd Hall whatever it was J Jaren Hall he’s out a BYU have a little respect this boy has probably soaked before yeah okay he’s a Soaker I completely respect you think about Nate hardung by the way bingo out of Western Pennsylvania 63 410 lb basketball stallion nose tackle he
Went the BYU yeah have you thought about what we’ve learned about that particular institution he’s a quake machine yeah that’s what I’m saying yeah they called him the Quake first ballot Hall of Fame Quake the Quake Nate Hardon yeah it was that his nickname what I thought him is
The guy who was on newspaper every single day in Pittsburgh growing up because this dude was dominating people in football yeah and then dominating people in basketball but he want this is the legend here they should let him play basketball their BYU too what helped a
Lot this looks like a scene out of a movie how the guys are laying on the ground looking up at it Nate Hartong is a movie character too good to be true bro too good to be true anyways yep yeah jiren Hall BYU yeah he was soaking you know what Flo was doing
At Delaware people frame in his shorts because of how much they you know grew to he transferred from Pittsburgh okay University of Pittsburgh couldn’t beat Tyler pacco another newspaper headline machine in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh royalty so he transfers out to Delaware coming out of college remember this guy throws
The ball further F anybody than anybody remember they they actually that was back whenever play he’s so old dude so like that was back whenever quarterbacks would actually do for show far throws you know like well I want to hurt myself for this he was out there like yep 75
Yards or whatever it was throwing it so far and then he goes to Baltimore and there’s an entire situation they win and then Lamar and then he kind of ends in an interesting way he addressed that I assume him and Baltimore still good should have asked that damn it
Definitely feel now the wayar worked out too it’s not like he got replaced and then that guy was out at Baltimore a few years lat I assume they get along very well I assume it’s what do yes no no it was early like because it was either divisional or AFC Championship his
Rookie year if I am not mistaken but yeah uhhuh here it here it is Henny Matty Ryan I don’t think Matt Ryan won this one what look at that just raw power 200 see you later they hit the cameraman standing down on the other side we don’t have a
Big enough field they said CLE Brennan dang that’s hell what was it0 71 7 okay gez and it wasn’t even a tight it wasn’t even yeah he he was gripping too tight want to throw it too far Chad Henny steps up had that one’s not a great one
He’s got a lot of Bortles in him huh need to bring this back yeah you know need to bring this back I got to compete in uh the little skills challenge thing against Graham GNA still doing it mhm won the around the world missed my flight to it so I missed all the
Celebration of the thing but it used to be great whenever colleges and even the Pro Bowl when this type of stuff would happen I mean he’s throwing a twice y already W yeah but I think this one may be a little tighter he might have beat it this time
He most guys most guys will Crow Hop into it like they’re center field Joe just kind of lets it fly so this is for you young this is how we were introduced to Joe Flo 74 yards yeah that’s exact yeah 74 yards twep that’s cuz not a lot
Of people knew coming out of Delaware just out of nowhere this pre- social media it’s like this was our introduction guys holy [ __ ] this dude could throw the ball so far you start learning his story then he goes and has success it’s like good on you Joe good
On you love you Joe loves ball too he’s like yeah I’m still playing you know 15 years I still have the same routine it’s kind of what he’s built up do you want are you sure you want to play yeah I want to play ball now he’s earned
Himself a bunch of money on the flip side though the Jets let’s talk about them AJ whenever you watch them what are your thoughts you know obviously Aaron crushed the pregame interview uh Fitz magic shout out to him we love that a lot of people mad it Fitz and attacking
Fitz on the Internet it’s like Fitz was recalling a joke from he’s making a joke yeah he actually it was good it was everyone everyone’s doing it now Aaron as for it everyone’s doing it bingo so I appreciate that Fitz magic did it l people were telling him oh here we go
Guy want to Harvard huh is that right I learned a lot about Harvard in my mentions last night I learned a lot about Harvard that was messy I didn’t know that I I there’s a lot of been around for a long time couple weeks yeah recently it’s kind of really popped back
Up there yeah that’s what it was oh yeah but anyway so Aaron does interview pregame obviously it goes well and then during the game they show him a lot of head shaking ah you know gun blowing and everything like that and solo went from here to here and you know the offense
Continues to be what it is and the defense got cooked by Joe Flaco but who’s not getting cooked by Joe flacko right now they just decided to punt this year I think huh I think so after like week two week week one week two I think
They were like let’s just hope that we can run this back next year is that what you think and it has been obviously a torturous year for jets fans throughout it all yeah no I mean I am sure they had like the intentions hey Aaron’s down but
Hey everything has changed but here we go we need we got a plan we’re going to go ahead and we’re going to make this thing work and it’s going to be an awesome story when we’re going to come through this and win a bunch of games
I’m sure they felt like that for a while and they’re fighting through and they’re still trying to grind it out and now we’re at the point where it’s like okay here we go what’s uh what are we going to do the first day of OTAs like let’s
Make sure we get this thing going next year and don’t get catastrophically injured in these last couple games and jets fans are saying we need changes I know we’re trying to run back what this year was supposed to be but there ain’t no adjustments making anywhere you look across the field Kevin
Stansky most amount of money salary C obviously with contract that’s over there that’s going to happen pretty quickly but like they’ve had injuries everywhere they’re still winning games they have they’re potentially still number one seed in the AFC could that have not happened other places can that not happened over there like that’s
Natural for their fans to think that way all you need is a winning season next year and all will be forgotten now that being said if they start out slow oh it’s going to get loud for everybody joining us now might be a man who has more information on the subject because
He got a chance to talk to everybody in yeah because not only you see the face of college football and has been for like 30 years actually M and the voice because he was on 2K that’s right true so this man is a legend of college football he’s has been now he’s become
One of the faces of kicking off each and every NFL week on Thursday Night Football and Amazon Prime ladies and gentlemen the co-president of the state of Ohio Kirk her Street what’s up man’ boys how we doing hey how are you doing where you at you down there uh for a cotton B classic I am down here for the cotton B classic waiting on you to get down here come on on tighten this ship up let’s go
Kid okay well we got about you know a little bit of time left to flight to Dallas obviously a lot shorter than flight to Passad Dina she’ll be a you have that globe on top of your shoulders are you holding that Globe right now no we’re just living brother you know we’re
Having a good time how about you Thursday Night Football done for the year huh Good Year great year great year Herby right is that we feeling a little better a little bit uh hell of a run we excited or S relief dude I we had a blast unbelievable uh from year one to
Year two I told you this I mean it was uh what a what a difference uh I I made an effort to not work as hard as much you know Monday through Wednesday I try to become like a normal human like we do on game day and hang out with Al and
Kaylee and our crew and Whit and Sherm and just just socialize a little bit more like we normally would do and last year I wasn’t able to do that made such a difference as far as the mor the chemistry on on and off the air so yeah
This this a uh yeah the games were there were some good ones some tough ones overall it was much much better I think ratings are up by like 25% on the year you don’t say yeah yeah it was good it was good and you know last night we were
Able to to uh you know watch this Browns team I don’t know you guys been I’m sure breaking down the Browns and the Jets but just a chance to to see them and you know being from the state of Ohio as you just mentioned AJ knows I think normally
In Southwest Ohio you follow the Bengals but you’ve always appreciated the f Cleveland and the passion they have for for their team and uh that that city was going ballistic last night I don’t know if you could tell on the broadcast but uh they’ve been waiting a long time I
Know they went to the playoffs in 20 but it was during covid when the fans weren’t really involved and uh it was like a college football atmosphere last night so good for the Browns they they Advanced and uh it looked like kind of like the Rams kind of looked like a
Dangerous team that you may not want to match up with with the way I know you just had Joe on with the way Joe’s plan get Omari Cooper healthy Maybe get Grant delpit back it’s safety that defense will keep him at every game they play
And if they can run the football to go with that play action pass they’re they’re going to be a tough out yeah I think so and you should I mean you we talked to Joe you’re traveling I assume hey he’s just like it you got to talk to
Him this week he’s just like loving life dude like enjoying ball so much and being in a you called it last night I think in the open you said this is a football town in a football state it’s like it feels like a perfect between the two doesn’t it with thean the Brown
Story and Joe Flo story pretty much I I I I think you got to this is just my opinion there lot a lot of great coaches that have done a good job this year but I I think he’s the coach of the year think about losing Nick chub I mean that
Guy was the leading rusher last year he he’s really the heart and soul of their team in in a very unique way and the way he leads he’s a quiet guy one of the most likable guys maybe in the NFL you lose him week two and that takes the
Wind out of your sales then you try to get right with DeShawn and he’s 5 and one as a starter he finds a way with a shoulder injury to beat the Ravens in Baltimore then he’s out for the year then you go to PJ Walker and you got the
Rookie DTR and then all of a sudden you go to the the bullpen one more time you bring in Joe flacko who hadn’t played and nobody knows how he’s going to do then you getting injuries to your offensive tackles they’re down to their fourth and fifth offensive tackles you’re losing your starting safeties
Just everything that has happened to most teams in the NFL that they get decimated and they’re done their season’s over the Browns and Kevin stefansky they they just keep coming up with answers and a way to adjust and find new ways to win um it’s remarkable
That they’re 11 and five uh nobody would have seen this when they were sitting there at seven and five after a couple losses you’re thinking this team’s in trouble uh-uh they’ve won four in a row they got Joe Flo right now who’s been there and done it uh it’s fun I mean
It’s and it’s in a great town where they appreciate football they’ve been starving for a winter uh so I think it’s one of the better stories this year in the sport in a year where there’s been so many injuries to quarterbacks and and the offensive lines and the Browns had
To endure it and they overcame it so good for them and uh like I said they’ll be they’ll be a tough out they’re not going to get a home game for the playoffs but they’re going to probably play an AFC South team whoever survives at AFC South your Indie uh Team or or
Houston or Jackson bille whoever it is uh but that’ll be that’ll be a tough matchup for whoever gets those Browns yeah I mean Joe Flaco doesn’t want to he doesn’t want to come into the lot house no he does Lucas whole stadium you know and I know maybe the bronze played the
Cult earlier in the year and it was like 50/50 bronze fans Colts fans yeah it wouldn’t be like that in the playoffs well it wouldn’t be like that in the playoffs they also won in the lighthouse well miles Garrett what do you exactly he had a day you know so Su us he’ll
Still be there you know what I mean that’s the entire thing hey before AJ’s question for you and I appreciate that breakdown especially after getting a chat with him are you in a are you in a Lobby right now are you in a yeah I’ll
Give you the look I’ll give you the look over his right shoulder KY and there’s Kenley and allly and the boys over there team what’s going on is that chase over there that’s Chase where oh Chase orlovski hey Chase orlovski exactly and then here’s the uh where’s benett here’s the screen yeah

Everybody’s looking I’m like yep we go to we got to get the hell out of here this is this cannot be how this thing goes it’s a very weird thing and you’re yelling in a Lobby in front of a bathroom and I think it’s everybody’s kind of pieing it together hey you’re a
Professional dude that freak me out it’ freak me out oh Big Ben Ben Ben knows the camera how about him and uh how about him and Aaron last night that was a good moment huh that was really yeah it was really cool so Ben said that’s my favorite quarterback Aaron Rogers how’
We get to that that’s what he that’s that’s what he told me I mean there’s a lot of great quarterbacks out there but for you know that’s what he let me know Aiden Green’s his guy so so did you did you ask the Browns if you could get bet
On the field because college football like yes Kirk you can have any how about this he’s GNA be the rose bu told us we’ve got to have it’s great you’re coming congratulations Hall of Fame whatever but it’s been coming because we need to get him he’s going to be the
First dog in the history of the Rose Bowl to have a dog credential he’s gonna go to the credential office he’s going to get credentialed they’re calling him I get to remember the oh my my gosh they got a name for him something about sounds really good I’ll look it up yeah
But he’s the first the first dog look look at his tail D happiest dog of all time coolest dog of all time he’s just he’s a human that’s kind of walk everybody says that about dogs but Ben actually is and he’s been putting a lot of human things you
Know like hey production meeting okay Ben’s in here what’s he doing Booth last night I’ll just walking between you guys all right let me wag my tail a little bit let’s go ahe and have a good time so casual he’s a superstar he’s getting articles written about him he’s a good boy
He’s goodest boy boy how about him rolling around on the Rose Bowl grass my really cool you’re going to Hall of Fame of course we knew that congratulations yeah thank you which uh last one the the rose bull Hall of Fame boo knew that new so you already got the
Booth named after you is it the Kirk herb Street herb Street Family broadcast Booth which was I I I’m I’m a big 10 Midwest I mean AJ knows the Big 10 in the Rose bille for me my my dad played at Ohio State you know he’s a captain
And he coached with Woody and with Bo I just I grew up that that place that game was always really special to me and no matter who played in especially in Ohio State obviously played in me as a kid was just it was just a unique experience
And I was unable to make that game as a player we’d always come down the Ohio State Michigan game lose to Michigan and not go to the Rose Bowl and I’ve been calling it I this year I’ll I’ll break Keith Jackson’s record as the most uh most Rose bows that that anybody’s ever
Called that that about be greatness set a high level high level greatness right there for a long time yeah so it’s a special thing I’ve accomplished some cool things but honestly the rose bull stuff is for me on a personal level is probably as cool of a of a thing that I
Could ever hope to to have accomplished in my career well congratulations on what we assume will be are you in any other Hall of Fame Centerville elk hall of fames yeah I think I’m in the Centerville elk Hall of Fame wow Ohio this guy’s in hall of fames you
Know what I mean president president of Ohio yeah hey where to go AJ’s the president I’m the vice president no no no you got same speech same award same title same they might take it away because you said that same belt buckle same belt buckle you both got it go
Ahead AJ congrats on that Herby a lot of hard work bro thank you lot of hard work congrats you the rose bow you I feel like you you think of the Rose bow you think of you calling the big games there we’re going to be out there on the
Sidelines watching I’m pumped I’ve never even been in the stadium what do you think of the atmosphere is going to be like in that game and what are you kind of looking for the main storylines in Alabama versus Michigan man um line of scrimmage game is if there’s ever been a line of
Scrimmage game it’s this one um 30 days off to prepare Fair Nick sa usually is a master in those settings I think uh the reason Pat and I and others thought that Alabama not even knowing who their quarterback was he got two new coordinators reason we picked Bama to
Win the National Championship in August had everything to do with the fact that Georgia had climbed the mountain two years in a row and beat George beat Alabama and I knew what that would do to that Alabama program and now here they are they’re in the playoff and um would
Not Shock me at all to see them rally the troops but then you on the other side you got a Michigan team that they got to the playoff two years ago and got embarrassed by Georgia they got to the playoff last year against TCU and in a
Game that everyone expected them to win and and and ended up losing that game and I just feel like Blake Corum and JJ McCarthy and Company just have had these guys despite Hardball being suspended early hard ball being suspended late you know sometimes as you guys know in
Football when it’s a player Le team with a with a collective Focus those are the most dangerous teams right it doesn’t matter they’re an autopilot no matter what gets in their way and Michigan just comes across to me as that kind of team now will they be able to get over the
Hump and and beat bamo I mean like I said you’re beating Nick Savin with 30 days to prepare so I think it’s a line of scrimmage game which quarterback’s able to create which quarterback’s able to um make plays with his feet and eventually his arm will be the team that
Wins the game but I I think it’ll be a hell of a game man hard Baugh with 30 days to prepare as well yeah you know is with everything they got going on I think you know I’m excited about these college football playoff games I’m getting pumped up we’re just a few days
Away from it we got a game day tomorrow got a game day tomorrow uh 3 hours tomorrow morning wake up with us uh we got a big Orange Bowl happening tomorrow there’s a lot of bowl games happening you know Toledo is taking on Wyoming tomorrow Auburn is taking on Au Marland

Slim here for you too this is the best Herby maybe ever GQ like conversation maybe that’s why I just I appreciated Lee and I you know from being around us I mean 28 years working together I was 26 when I started on the show um just
Think about being 26 to 54 working with a guy who is your Mentor I mean you know he he’s uh he’s a different guy today at 88 years old than the guy that I broke in with when he was he was you dude he was
You of 1996 like he was he was cutting edge oh he’s coming through sorry we got to take a dump that guy said coach Corso you know hey great work great work there appreciate the bathroom dude he was you he was much better than me yeah much better
Than me obviously no no no when I say you he was you of the mid 90s like he was you when it comes to just saying stuff that other people didn’t say having having the audacity and Having the courage to to just say what other people didn’t say he he said what other
People thought and he did that consistently and that’s how he became Lee Coro really is uh and and then he he had passion you know and and then he help help me just I was just a dumb kid coming up to the the uh you know the
Ranks and he took the time to to really work with me and help me and I just I’ll never forget him there I I feel like um you know there are people that go ahead of you that to me if you just slow down and pay attention to and respect and and
Appreciate their wisdom I’m just one of those guys whether it’s a coach or a mentor of some kind I I I I really and he listened you know my my dad never really listened to me my dad was a great guy but Lee Coro listened to me like if
I talk to him about Ally or I talked to him about my kids or I talked to him about my job or my career hey should I do these games on ABC like he actually sat there and listened to me which I didn’t really have a lot of people in my
Life that did that so dude I’ll I’ll never forget what he did for me that’s beautiful man hey I’ve been lucky to see it front row yeah you have and you you’ve added to it man we you know and and You’ you’re seeing a different lead you know
At 80 87 88 years old and I think a lot of people they see him struggle on the air and they you I see the nasty stuff that people say and I’m like dude if you if you only knew what his cognitive thinking is as sharp as it’s ever been
It’s just a guy had a stroke you know and when people have a stroke they they struggle to get their words out sometimes and that’s that’s what he F that’s what he fights so instead of ridiculing him and ripping him why don’t you appreciate the guy has the courage
To sit there on national TV after trying to deal with a stroke and just trying to be a part of college football and get his words out and and tell you what he thinks I think I think it’s a beautiful thing that he’s still trying to get it
Done so um it is what it is and where he is in life and hopefully he’ll be back next year and and still doing his thing and I I think it’s all about his health and how he feels but uh yeah the guy is a beautiful he’s he’s a treasure chest
And he’s a a beautiful part of the college game day Fabric and I think college football in general really over these last 30 years years yeah it’s uh yeah I think so that’s why whenever you know I think I’m new to the entire thing whenever somebody like attacks him or
Like uh does something it’s like you know what this dude has done for college football like no offense college football college football is certainly phenomenal the sport the P everything around college football especially getting to learn it is amazing but like the coverage of it also helps you know
Grow it as a sport it makes it into what like coach Corso like has done a lot for college football obviously so I I uh lucky to know him lucky to see it and uh you love him you love him too you’re around his personality and you’ve had a
Chance to see that and even at 88 years old he still has that that that personality you know I mean he’s quieter now than he used to be but he still has that stuff and I see you and him I’m watching you and him all the time
Whether it’s on the set or just in the meetings and I see the respect that you have for him the same way I have it for him you know what I mean and that’s that’s a cool thing to see I when I get a fist bump from coach it’s awesome you
Know just like a like one of those and then he’ll bang you know what I mean it’s like uh it’s a cool moment it is uh the other day they showed clips of him uh the last one Army Navy they showed that clip of him getting thrown in there
And he said something like very sad or whatever it was like no no no coach like you’ve done it you know like he’s he’s beat hey he’s beat the game yeah and didn’t it really stand out when Bill bich who was maybe 11 or 12 years old
And was at that actual practice in all him thrown into the river and you have Bill bich I mean Bill bellich and and before what they were on the air together and then after our segment was over and and Bill put the helmet on and all that and then after they sat there
And talked and just a look in the eyes of Bill it’s not like oh yeah yeah good to see it like Bill’s looking at him through the eyes of an 11-year-old and he has such it’s Wy con sorry about that he has Wy do even know that you and I
Are talking right now he has such admiration Leo and that to me really I think stands out I think that’s really cool yeah it was it was uh a lot of Beautiful Moments game day is a a fantastic institution and we got three hours tomorrow morning that’s right live

Have some proper five piece suit that you this year’s hey your suit game this year has been fantastic yeah it’s been it’s been good how come no ties last night what last G of the year last game of the year how Joe yeah for Joe freaking Flo you couldn’t wear a tie
Prick that’s where the real question it’s not a joke hey bro I follow my marching orders get and Pat Pat knows Pat saw it live and in color I was dressed fully dressed in Seattle with Pat last year thinking I was in a suit and then I was
Told you have something else right and I was like uh I guess in my bag yeah downstairs and then Pat happened to be arriving at the stadium just in time to bring that bag up and I I changed you know because I I found out we weren’t
Wearing ties so this now after that experience Pat I now ask on Monday smart what is Al telling us what what what are we wearing are we going casual are we going what’s dress for th’s event what’s the dress code here you so I need to
Know I need to know the dress code so I found out on Monday we’re going casual now I brought a coat but then I was notified I did not need the coat so didn’t go with the coat on uh on what if you wanted the coat were you allowed to
Wear the coat if you wanted to wear the coat no nope AJ you knew the answer to that question while you were asking it that’s amazing you guys did great job though it’s not about help fantastic here out of you guys yeah I I like the
Casual look I thought it I thought it was football it’s football football it’s football yeah it’s football yeah what we we’re in Cleveland and we’re in Cleveland it’s supposed to be 20 degrees so football you you guys look great had a great year Ty has a question for you
It’s football yeah Kirk just curious going back to uh College I know this has been a topic of discussion for the last several years but it seems like it’s gotten more prevalent uh as the years go on with guys just opting out of games like I think Florida State and Georgia
You know Florida State’s got like 40 guys sitting out or something like that um Joe Milton is sitting out of the Iowa game I don’t even know if he’s going to get drafted but he’s just he’s opting out just for the hell of it uh do you
Think all of these things like is this ever going to slow down uh because it’s kind I mean for like people who aren’t casual fans it doesn’t really matter but I think for casual fans it really diminishes bowl season and it’s kind of like well who gives a [ __ ] about all of
These bowls outside of the college football playoff like do you think there’s going to be like a buck stops here moment with this or is are we going to get to the point where if you don’t make it to the college football playoff like no one who no one who’s worth a
[ __ ] is going to be playing in these games first of all I can’t unhear your voice of Pete tamill when you talk to me even no talking normal I just I I’m focused on this question but um I’m just thinking about all the times I I was thinking of different words that
You uh that you used over the last month uh and I love that dude I I think that’s the great you do so many great impressions but maybe because I sit in the meetings with Pete and Pat tries to you know wind me up and we get excited about he’s a
Human every time every time poor every time poor Pete comes on he’s like look at this guy love in the middle in the middle of the question from Reese he’s very serious he’s just like yelling at him and then your impersonation is fantastic I’m terrified of the Bulls we love Pete
I might be the big I actually might be the biggest peteo fan on Earth his brain is a NeverEnding NeverEnding pit of information it is one of the most special things I’ve ever seen legitimately and he doesn’t stop ever I agree and and I think where we’re where
We’re screwed here on these bowl games is two things number one when ESPN decided to to just keep going with more and more bulls and we started to put six and six teams into Bull games that damaged the brand of bulls and the meaning of bulls right that’s first
Thing so there’s way too many bulls I think you should be eight and four to go to a bowl game um I I think it’s a it’s not great for the bull system that we have so many and so many teams and these stadiums that are empty in the pre-
Christmas bowl games are are on TV because think it adds to what you’re describing I think Bowl gam should be be sold out stadiums and teams that had great years and it should be a celebration for the year you had like the Dukes Mayo amen yeah just it’s
[ __ ] I mean it’s just I don’t know what station we’re on right now but it’s complete bow what it’s it’s awful but a lot of people watch bowl games and so you’re going to have a lot of bowl games it’s just the way it is but I in a perfect world we go
To 12 team playoff and we reduce sit down to like 15 or 18 bows and we have teams that are from these conferences that that um had great years and we go celebrate the years that they had I think that’s step one and I think step
Two is until they break off from the inseat of way and like a lot of what Chip Kelly talked to you guys about and restructure things and and find a new governing body and find a way to to break away from the antitrust laws until
You find a way to do that and and come to an agreement with the players not just just on nil and and transfer portal but also you talk you got to talk to them about Revenue sharing with the network money and and and make this a much broader discussion and then throw
In the bowl games and and talk about you know how much do the players want to commit to it and you know it’s it’s really a shame to uh to get to these bowl games and see what’s happening to Florida State see what’s happening to so
Many of these other teams um you’d love to see these players finish it out and and have a chance to to finish as a group and have a great celebration at the end of the year and and um you know individual players are going to pull out they’re entitled under the current
System to do that but hopefully we can get to a new system when we get to this 12 team playoff and the biggest thing we need is instead of having all these different conference Commissioners worried about their own constituents whether it’s chancellors presidents ads coaches players fans they need we need
One voice that worries about the totality of the sport we’re governing we’re governing the sport like it’s 1985 this used to be a regional sport this used to be a sport that the Big 10 and the Pack 12 worried about the Rose Bowl the SEC worried about the Sugar Bowl the
Old South West Conference Big 12 worried about the Cotton Bowl a you know worried about the the Orange Bowl and now we that doesn’t work anymore no one cares about that because it’s now more everyone’s in one pool because we’re all trying to get to the playoff and if
That’s the way the new world is on the field then we need to change the governing body in the way we have leadership we need one voice all these Commissioners can report to one person who then looks at what’s in the best interest of the entire Sport and until
We have that you’re going to have all these guys are going to be worried about their own region and their own conference and they should really until someone changes the rules and we get one voice who worries like it’d be like having Roger Goodell worried about the
Just the NFC North and someone else worried about the NFC East someone else worried about the NFC West it’s like how would the NFL ever get anything done right and they never get anything done you need you need a voice that’s willing to take the bullets and willing to
Everybody blame him for everything can withstand it all and be the leader we need one leader to lead us out of where we are and right now we have several leaders that don’t necessarily trust each other and we can’t move forward out of this until we find a way to have that
One voice and I don’t know when that’s going to be who would it be you who would it be uh I would vote for a guy like Nick Sabin when he retires I would vote for a guy like Greg sanki um I think Greg sanki really gets
Looked at as a guy that all he cares about is the SEC is that him SEC SPN again of course secn up to it again no I just know that the guy that I think has the go through go back and look at Co and look at the
Guy who hand the way he handled it I mean he he handled that well better than anybody I just think I I just think you need one voice whoever you guys want to put in charge is fine but you need one voice to lead the sport not not several
Guys rowing the boat in different directions yeah when you have four quarterbacks you have no quarterbacks you know that’s kind of the old adage and at least there is a vision you know even if it’s not the best Vision it is a vision that everybody’s going towards
And then if it doesn’t work out let’s get a new one in there maybe you Herby hey maybe you out there you know what I mean no nope no I like working with you too much so I I I I like what I do yeah there’s no chance I’ll be working over
There yeah that is not in my bag baby you know that is not it one of the last questions here from tone Diggs for you and this is uh maybe a new seg called what coach JB do yeah uh Herby hell yeah or hell no uh JJ McCarthy is good enough
To win the national championship I’m talking about the JJ McCarthy we saw you know the second half of the Year okay I will say we saw your spot I say I would say hell yeah hell hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah hell right I’m a fan I’m
A fan of nine I think he’s a great player I think people get caught up in some of the games where they didn’t have to throw the ball he didn’t have to make plays and they and they somehow take shots at him I think that dude if they
Need to make plays and his legs I’m gonna say right now I don’t know who’s going to win the game we know about milr legs and what he can do I’m telling you right now if Michigan wins we can Circle back on the back end if they end up
Winning or losing if they win his legs and his ability to create the improvise will be the difference and if they keep drives alive on third down against that Nick Sav and Kevin steel defense or not go back and look at the history of Alabama defenses think about
Guys like Johnny Manzel Bo wall Bo Wallace Chad Kelly Cam Newton look at those guys given Alabama when Alabama’s had trouble defensively it’s a guy that as much match and man but it’s the quarterback that can run that can that can get it done oh my God three seconds
I know right there oh my we missed it we missed it by three dude I you talking about missed it by three seconds you missed it by three seconds a lot it’s a we haven’t hit a lot this is our first week back after after you know
Who I BL you know who I blame for that who I blame tone for the question with with only with only 50 seconds to go was hell had a minute 25 it was hell yeah hell no hell yeah hell no you did it this week we saw you Herby you knew how

Gentlemen Kirk her hey kir good day have an F1 race you know no kidding that’d be nice remember that the beginning oh yeah actually The Rundown official rundown comes out for the show a little behind the curtain here rundown is a fluid thing throughout the week sure fluid it
Changes it moves production meetings things like that great people been doing it for a long time they have the show first show I’ve ever been part of though with this type of so I don’t know if it’s normal abnormal or whatever but when that rundown gets out it’s a big
Deal it’s a big deal what’s going on when’s it happening how’s it happening who’s being talked about especially with game day 130 some teams going to be talked about geez so you know that rundown sometimes is a nice little uh oh you got to learn a lot about uh a lot of
Places for instance Army Navy game and uh I just gave uh the opposite School the record that the other school had of course and the other school I’m actually close with South Dakota State go big go Blue go Jacks and I just give their 20 some game win streak reigning National
Championship thing right to Villanova and that’s on me I didn’t pay attention to South Dakota State enough but they’re a [ __ ] wagon mhm that’s FCS baby which is what could have came from that conversation but instead I just handed it to the other team sure so kind of
Everything they’ve worked for it I ruined it but that’s College that’s college game day and I do apologize for that I do apologize for that but then immediately the internet goes here’s ESPN showing us no respect yet again it’s like you think ESPN is to blame because of my [ __ ] up I
Don’t think that’s I don’t think that’s fair you know what I mean I I don’t think that’s fair how about you know all the [ __ ] Aaron brings up yeah and he always goes we’re gonna get throttle over taking off the air and Fitz doing that last night
Yep I’m assuming Fitz didn’t get email I I didn’t get an email from anybody no yeah but they but they yeah that’s what I’m saying though like everybody comes up to me and does a lot of what are you gonna do when they what do you do and
They like everybody that’s ever been around me literally throughout my entire life with how I’ve handled whoever they potentially is in past existences of Authority or whatever it was like I don’t think there is they it doesn’t matter in a cont in the contract there
Isn’t a they but also I think the ESPN relationship has gone well this year yeah very well surprisingly very well as we head into 2024 I think 2023 a lot of us you know babies kids things like that changed our entire lives personally but from a professional
Stand Point ESPN transition went a lot better than I think it he was thought it was going to go yeah we’re on ESPN a lot of times to be honest a lot of people on the show do as well true when they just JJ JJ Watt says it all the time he does
It’s ridiculous even his Noah had to tell him like Hey shut up you’re you’re disrespecting the family name yeah what’s he working out so hard foring back he’s coming back he might join Cleveland he’s been good this year too oh yeah great how about Chuck Bano 114 and one or 104
And one Chuck’s in a Sweet Spot he’s in a groove right now he look phenomenal he’s balling first shot yesterday too with the football and that jumper he was always aqs kind of got worse but what I think the the tough that was pretty rude was what you just said there
He knows okay I just joke with him well the tough part with AQ DB debuts bat in the Thousand with fits and Vibes yep all the time undercover dog came in mhm love it love it I mean it’s been a good it’s been Sabin I think it’s been a good year
I think we should think about that over in new good year yeah yes reflect on it things are going okay yeah very there was a chance this could have been a massive [ __ ] failure everyone let us know do you remember with how loud it got real loud got real loud even people
That had no idea who we were were like this is AO work it’s good that way though don’t you think it’s better that way than all this hype oh here we go this new show coming to ES blah everyone’s so excited it’s better that people were worried and thought it would
Be terrible yeah I think yeah we remember while it was happening it wasn’t fantastic wish and death no no no but I’m saying you don’t want someone you don’t want some Network overhyping you and overhyping the show to come on and say oh and and kind of force it down
People’s throats then it people instantly would hate it you’re right I think they felt that way either way people hated it yeah yeah but that’s what I’m saying let them make the decision not to do a commercial by the way so like all right we need to shoot
Uh TV commercial to run during first take and get up and everything like that I okay okay yeah like what do you want to do uh nah I don’t think we need to run a commercial smart they’re like we should run a commercial I don’t I don’t
Think we should run a commercial we do not how do you make a good one how do you make a non corny one well put Ste that was the problem that was the problem that was that we were running into repeatedly and like well they’ll
Just learn about us as soon as we get on there and they did and boy how about the thing what was it the big ones post Wall Street Journal yep I think New York Times took a swing New York Times that’s all the big ones y basically saying this

Hour 3 of the program starts now football it happened last night yes it did yes it did Joe flaca in the Cleveland Brown secured a playoffs SP while knocking off the New York football Jets kicking off week 17 action for the NFL in which there was only eight 18
Weeks of a regular season that man has won a Super Bowl before that is AJ Hawk whoa right there who that’s him AJ during the break you and I were texting and you said you want to lead this hour especially the last show of the year with maybe a motivational speech as we
Go and uh make our picks really bring it home last than really sound like me uh Pro show the show me those texts that we had going back and forth you may have been texting somebody else but no I think it is going to be a great day not Debo
Situation okay this is not a [ __ ] you Debo it was it was a text that was the funniest part to be just hope and by the way you can see how it could easily happen especially whenever they use the text and everything that Tak place it looked like cam tough seeing out there
Until the end I thought it was him until the end until the very end the last two texts you know kind of gave it gave it up that it wasn’t Cam Newton out there but that was a nice little wrinkle of this particular week and I apologize for
Us stepping on your motivational speech there just want to let people know neighborhood favorites delivered by your friends with door Dash love you door Dash change the world enjoy Z delivery fees and reduce service fees on all eligible orders with a dash pass membership sign up for dash pass and get
Your first month free shout out to that’s pretty good deal door Dash is awesome yeah favorite there’s no deal that’s more worth it I think than Dash BH yeah yeah especially if you utilize door Dash as much as we all seemingly do that’s one half of the hammer
Cowboys turn digs a lot of public winners it feels like in Prime Time games as of late I love everything about it last night we were all on the bronze Joe flacko this story that story is much different than what this team on the lake is doing and the public was on we
Were all on and we hit I like this happening this last Thursday been very similar where all the public was on his side it was the Rams and the Browns and they got out it was very very comfortable but there was you know there was a moment in the games where I guess
There could have been a back door but it never really happened um yeah and then Sunday was kind of publicly and Monday Christmas day was not um but yeah it’s been it’s a good time of year because you know books are giving this time of year they don’t need money this time
Yeah they’ve already made enough on the season they just got to kind of make it look better for marketing for the next season so that everybody uh doesn’t quit anytime it’s up over 75% though you know like a 90 plus percent hit the other day
We got to take those in we got to enjoy those shout out to us getting big time dubs and shout out to the books maybe not knowing yeah what’s going on everywhere the talk table is here at Boston Conor and at Tai Schmidt I I’m bet on Packers this weekend buddy as you
Should as you should underdogs you know with everything to play for Jordan love just feeling great feeling like a new man I like the Packers this weekend I like the Packers as well I I uh I enjoy what Jordan love is up to but jiren Hall
If we know anything about him oh yeah he doesn’t mind having to earn it a little bit he’ll wait a long time for Stuff Bo player yeah he is you are your quarterbacks though very disciplined very disciplined how do you think puka got drafted you think he was catching
The balls himself maybe which Jamar Chase was wishing he could potentially do yeah we heard some clips from uh Cincinnati Bangals locker room but jiren Hall could do his thing let’s run some of the Jamar Chase chatter because I love the fact that Jamar Chase is as
Confident and as comfortable as he is to speak the way he speaks and obviously anytime you say anything that maybe disparages another team or doesn’t compliment another team there’s going to be a massive story and he certainly doesn’t compliment the other team but Jamar Chase spoke about the Kansas City
Chief’s rivalry and the Kansas City Chief’s defense pretty candidly from his locker room and there’s a lot of chatter about this on the internet that can be taken they take how they want I don’t care if you don’t play would that be a problem you know I’m sure you want to go
And back it up yeah I mean at the end of the day I’m at the end of the day there so much that I can do myself it’s not like I’m Iron Man I can’t throw the football to myself you know what I’m saying like
It’s a team sport at the end of the day it’s just I know what I see on paper I know I see in game that’s why they double everybody cuz they can’t do it one-onone the best play on their team is Sneak that’s a fact everybody knows that
That’s why they double double everything they see they just got well they drafted two new corners that’s longer they trying to match sne that’s why sne at corner and now I already know it like it’s I’m not bugged about it they know I they know I’m good they know how to play
Us that’s what it is but it’s not like they got a superstar on their defense so that was in response to him saying that they don’t have a jayen Ramsey on the Kansas City gief secondary there and he said yeah they’re going to take it that
Way and he respond I don’t care how they take it this is just a matter of fact I love Jamar Chase has to be a tough year for him with uh you know the situation happening in Cincinnati even though Jake Browning has put up good numbers AJ yeah
It would be I mean think about it as a receiver you are so reliant on your quarterback whoever is getting you that ball and you know Jake Brown has played well at times but it’s tough man it’s tough all these backups playing it it has an effect on everybody around like
Receivers on on a contract year guy trying to yeah just uh I don’t know is there any position where your whole production counts on somebody else more than you like that yeah I think uh I think the wide receiver position is certainly it which is why a lot of
People say can’t win the MVP like haters will say that because somebody had to get said person the ball for 2,000 yards you know he wasn’t able unless he’s taking Snaps I mean that is the place but that’s just chatter that’s going to happen everywhere they’re talking about
That with Tyreek Hill but think about Chase as soon as he gets in the NFL too you know they have they you know yeah training camp was not good no no remember he couldn’t catch a ball in training camp too big people were talking ball is too big doesn’t have the
White paint on it so he’s not able to locate it track it this guy’s not going to be able to catch an NFL football that was that was real discussion about and then as soon as the season starts ah this guy’s got four touchdowns in the
First two week okay Boom Bang Pow Pow it’s been like that so this year being the way it is I assume it’s difficult but I like these talking as [ __ ] I I appreciate the fact that he’s doing that it only continues to make things better speaking of making things better we
Should make our picks here we go last week was not good for us AJ you beat me it was terrible for me as I was watching the games unfold I was like oh oh w w oh whoa whoa big week whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa it’s what I kept saying two weeks
Left I’m up one here we go here how was it so close we wow go ladies and gentlemen the New York Jets failed to cover against the Cleveland Browns and we are both 1 and0 heading into the New Year’s weekend good for us AJ good start
Hey I’m pretty proud of us for doing that already and shout out to Chuck by the way continuing to be an absolute lock hot on these Thursday nights maybe more glasses more tracksuits more fresh whites chano safe travels back home thank you for the season that you’ve had
Speaking of Seasons that have been had how about the Detroit football lions taking on the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday Night Football on ESPN Lions getting five and a half down there in Jerry World which has made the Dallas Cowboys unbeatable for some reason that atmosphere that field that
Vibe that everything in Arlington Texas M has been a buzz saw for the Cowboys but Goff and mcdc and the boys don’t care about that they’ve won their first division in 30 years hell yeah hey huton had his hat on Sideways dancing a little bit vibing a little bit mcdc caught out
The OG said come on up here Jared gof talked about the expectations of what it’s supposed to be are they H are they hung over from from celebrate oh no what do you think happens down in Dallas AJ Hawk man when I when this thing initially popped up I’m thinking okay
Dallas continues to roll and everything but the five and a half points I just don’t like that big of a number I’m taking the Detroit Lions on this one may as well let’s go one seed also still still on the line for the Lions so they’re not just done and I believe this
Is the highest over under of the season so far so lots of points I had that same where you did though they just won the division will there’ll be will there be a you know a setback but the one seed you know still yeah and MC DC too we got
To think about yeah good coach good culture exactly they’re not celebrating the first div division for Detroit in 30 years for more than 24 hours remember that speech that they released from before the season he didn’t he didn’t say hey look at that wall behind you 30 years since the division championship he
Didn’t stop there no there’s numerous on there boom he went to NFC Championship boom he went to Super Bowl yeah Aiden hins he he he posted some GQ photos on his Instagram wearing his clean tan suit oh really he looks good he looks good Conor but still I don’t love that
Part why why not why what did did uh ragna or uh any Ben Su or why don’t we follow their lead on that one he looks good I bet he does I bet it looks great I assume pen soul will do whatever the hell pen Su wants to do a dog and he’s
In a culture he’s he’s his own personality exactly oh he sets it what do we bet is the culture baby he he is the guy so he’s Aiden Hutchinson right yeah okay what’s happening right now he doesn’t like that he’s posting photos instead of focing on tackling people
Amen boom oh my I want my pass rushers hungry did you see his offseason what he does all day every day yeah exactly I like that hey give us a little peek into what you’re doing he is he’s looking super cool he looks really cool he looks
Really cool we’re going to see that on TV on Saturday night he looks he could have saved that he kind of gave us a he kind of gave us what he’s going to do already you’re not going to see him in the angles can we pull this up it’s on
His Instagram I do believe you’re not going to be able to see the angles in which he’s posing when he’s walking into the stadium yeah okay whenever they walk in the stadium when These Guys these days turn in the NBA a little bit it turn in
The NBA a little bit back look at that that’s so cool look at that you’re not saying that when he’s walking in you’re not oh that’s a pass rusher yeah he’s not he’s not going to a game he’s super intense when he’s going to a game that’s
A HomeTown hero right there what company what company is he puppet n Aiden Hutchins and.com that’s his [ __ ] fing pose right there is that his is that his clothing line what is it what’s that pose he looks awesome locked in that is sweet that one’s called [ __ ] what what
That this one right what’s the other one called thinking probably the other one was praise be to God oh that’s sweet I like that one this one right here is oh look at my future and it looks bright and warm and sunny cuz it’s Las Vegas
Let me take this jacket off boom that’s what he do right there mhm but art is obviously taken different ways by different people you’re allowed to feel the way you feel even though we all think you sound like a hater that’s fine I I can sound like a hater I mean I’m
Betting on the line so in my 6 that guy’s huge yeah I know he’s an animal he’s he’s on the Super Bowl stage just a couple years ago I don’t know who’s putting all that nylon together I mean it’s tough big and tall had to be
I’m bet on this guy look at that look right there what do you think he’s saying in his head right there oh I’m content with a division championship [ __ ] no no that’s not what he’s saying Lord give me the strength for the number one Only God can judge
Me I can do all things through praise be to thee Amen give me that guy yep I’m on the lines as well let’s go to the next game shall we Saturday night should be a blast though Patriots bills we heard Bill bich speak about Josh Allen and his thoughts for him Bill bellich getting 13 points in Western New York against the Buffalo
Bills AJ who do you like what am I supposed to do here Diggs what do I do here that’s a lot of points I feel like yeah yeah there is that is a lot of points Tony you’re not supposed to give me the bills I’m taking the bills yeah
All right well no see I I I think I look at it one way and when you wake up or the game’s over and you took the Patriots and they lost by 26 you’re like you’re like what did I take the Patriots but if the Patriots keep it close you’re
Like well what yeah this is really a a a coin toss which is why Sports gobling is the way it is yeah because there is so many different scenarios in which Bill bich knows Josh Allen knows the Buffalo Bills familiar opponent he’s not able to score enough points to make 13 be enough
Especially Chad Ryland knocking down 56 yarders to win the game and you think about how old zip on the ball zap can look every once in a while whenever he’s playing quarterback for the Patriots MH give the Patriots plus 13 I’ve been ined it’s actually 14 Patriots plus 14
You got the bills minus 14 I had at minus 13 though when I picked it no but it changed 10 minutes ago yeah it changed okay must lose for New England I’m still confident they lock in a top four pick I believe if they lose this
Game so this a must territory it’s a real deal KH what do you do if you’re the owner if you’re Robert Craft for real what do you read what do you do we saw him talking earlier in the in the season in the box where Robert KRA
Actually says like yeah we’re just not good enough and that’s real you need to lose and then you basically guarantee if you’re the four Al so Bill bellich can spoil the future of the Patriots one that he might not be a part of sure and also the bills you know they they have
To win uh have to uh but still oh yeah they’ve been on a playoff run here for a while yeah exactly I think they win sure I think Buffalo Beals win they need to win give me the Patriots plus 13 though 14 14 14 sorry man it’s a lot for Bill
Bellich last year uh just you know the Ravens were saying like we feel disrespected they’re getting five and a half points going to play the ners When the Thought the ners would in across the country on the other side it’s like Bill bich getting 13 points in a division
Game 14 points in a division game Crazy to say off the road you should check the score but I what’s the weather I think they covered 14 last year and uh that that was the game the bills had two kick return touchdowns and I think they still
Yeah I think they still covered all right it’s not going to be a snowball it’s not going to be a snow ball is it where there’s no points no okay that’s good I’m staying with it Bill all right give me the Patriots plus 14 Los Angeles
Rams New York Giants five and a half point spread the Giants are getting at home with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback after Tommy cutl was bench last week good run Tommy cutlet is handling it just fine he’s a professional we do not know about Sean Stato we have not heard
From the Stato but we do know that Tommy DeVito is doing everything he can to help out Tyrod Taylor day ball and Tyrod have had numerous game management situations poked their heads out on Prime Time television making us question everything going on over there on the offensive side of the ball a couple
Times this season and on the flip side the Rams and Matthew Stafford have been playing some absurd football in the big city from the other massive City how do you see this one going AJ Hawk man so it’s Tyrod Taylor I’ve heard multiple people say like trod almost is is he
Trying to change his name or other people trying to do that for him was that his mom that came yeah this happened the last time he he was starting might have been the yeah the Chargers uh I think she did say as to Rod okay to Rod Taylor I don’t know if
That was hammered home by him remember what happened to him out there at the Chargers terrible took a took a golf tea and just R his long punctured his long whenever trying to give him a shot or that the Browns allegedly that’s a allegedly allegedly allegedly what
Happened in Chargers before the game 15 20 minutes before the game was going to get a shot to numb his ribs because he had some stuff going on in there and said needle that was giving the shot punctured his lung yep can’t play football today congrats Justin Herbert
You are now the starter against KC Chiefs yeah I remember like it was yesterday ran that linebacker over knocked him out of the game Buffalo got him the playoffs Browns situation happened there you got her Baker now it’s Rod Taylor is leading the Giants against Matthew Stafford and Los Angeles
Rams AJ however the name is pronounced how do they pronounce the winner of this game and by how much um I will stick with the LA Rams here minus five and a half yep I think we’re all on the same same page I’m assuming that’s gonna be a very public
Bet there oh yeah yeah even Giants I thought about it though I thought about it because trod Taylor can he can play though man he really can oh yeah trod can he can play can almost beat the Eagles yeah covered last sh terod has been around a long time long vet veteran
In the game seasoned Tennessee Titans Houston Texans massive AFC South implications on the line here Houston Texans need to figure it out you know it’s been a few weeks without CJ strad they need to figure it out demo Ryan up for NFL coach of the year the culture how is it Andre Johnson
Says fantastic JJ Watt still working out will he go back and how about the video we saw of Rael NFL films released of him coaching up trayon Burks and being the guy guy that you know hey you promise make promise to me eye contact and he smoked 14 cigarettes yep drank two
Bottles of whiskey had 10 beers blew through four Vapes had America’s Best in his left cheek M skull in the front right patch pouch C Zen on the top shelf what and I was drinking coffee M yep that dump and he said promise me next play M mhm big dumps big
Dumps big dumps Ohio dumps holy hell now those massive dumps are why we see him as the favorite in a lot of these coaching fight scenarios that get pitched out there CU what he has done to the inside of his body boy oh boy has toughened up the
Outside of his body as well callist so not only physically can he do it his internal and his mental Been There Done battle tested Locked In by himself and others will it be enough to lead them into Houston that stadium that you know yeah you know oh
Yeah crickets I got a text from somebody that lives in houon lives in Indie went back to Houston it’s their home mhm went to the Texans game yeah took a picture and said hate that you’re you guys were right about this oh right A lot of people dress like seats the guy Italian
A lot of people dress he is Italian Vino’s Pizza owner he call me’s restaurant call me a Piece call me a piece of [ __ ] they Pizza they have pizza too why do they yep Vino Pizza down there and pasta yep salmon and Raton mhm and steak I chicken proba some good
Chicken there some moose he’s big time Houston fan loves the Astros loves the Texans takes a picture of the stadium empty oh now the Titans tried to you know take their or those jerseys against a couple weeks ago well that spur some fans to show up AJ how do you see it going
With all that being said I think uh CJ strout is in the lineup correct he’s playing he was practicing I don’t him and Levis I’ve not heard much confirmation he cleared right yesterday I think he cleared okay so CJ wrong but CJ stra it’s going to get back on track
Game for the Houston Texans give me Texans minus four and a half yep I think that’s how CJ Stout is even though V’s going to be awesome let’s go to Saints ners 2 and a half point spread B I’m sorry Saints bucks two and a half point
Spread at home Baker Mayfield I believe this is a game that they could potentially win the NFC South Clincher the for both of them or for the bus just for the baker Mayfield could lead the Bucks to an NFC South Championship here this weekend against the Rival New
Orleans Saints how do you think it goes AJ Hawk so bucks being Two and a Half Point favorites I I thought it’s possible they could be three and a half four points or something I thought it could be a little bit more so I like Baker Mayfield Tampa Bay Bucks here we
Go minus two and a half at home to Clin so this if they win do they clinch they don’t need any help yeah that’s win and they CL here we go bucks for me yeah here we go Bucks remember they’re talking like hey Tom Brady this is you
Know a lot of the numbers that Baker’s putting up and it was a incredible run at the beginning and then it kind of lost its way for a little bit they’re all the way back Mike Evans is doing what Mike Evans is always done and the linebackers too are playing like how
They used to play as opposed to what they were playing like earlier that interception by white where he flips his hips run dive the whole thing it’s like yeah I like the Bucks as a football team as a whole not just in this game let’s go Cardinals Eagles Eagles was favored
By 12 at home you think Kyler and the boys travel and keep this thing close man what a what a weird what Eagles team will we see I’m going off big Dom not on the sideline nope still but in the locker room though most likely right
Yeah but he has been theree game for Ganon potentially oh oh you’re right okay you know what I like Kyler and the boys to go on the road and keep it close enough keep it within 12 so give me the the Cardinals yeah explosiv this is a tough line bro yep
You know Cardinal just lost to Chicago by like 14 points yeah I know but like the NF the NFL is so stupid you know cuz like I saw Jason Kelce and his wife on New Heights podcast yep and it seemed like you know Jason Kelce has kept it
Very real on there about the state of the team they were having a Holly Jolly Time you know mean they’re having a Holly Jolly Time he’s committed to the game he knows the team he’s got the pulse to the locker room they were telling a story about him leaving his
Wife Kylie out in the middle of the ocean the shark while he head back to the land yep he said she was far from the shark didn’t want to ruin her day there was certainly a good couple conversation there and I assume that has happened around couple meals other
Friends they’re a great couple great does this set up for Travis and Taylor to be potentially on New Heights that would be the biggest podcast in the history of podcast Ever Could you fathom that give him the rub Taylor that would be the biggest of all time oh yeah it’s
Happening that’s gonna happen yeah that you’re right that’s gonna be hilarious Kylie killed it on there and for me I like The Vibes that Jason Kelce had on that give me the Philadelphia Eagles minus 12 for a game where they people go you Eagles are back next week yeah this
Is what they needed they need time it looks different than it did last year but here’s how it goes Falcons Bears three-point favorites at home are the Chicago Bears where it go here go holy [ __ ] Z go ahead Falcons just beat the hell out of the
Indianapolis Colts are on their way to a potential AFC South Championship so the Falcons are very capable obviously a lot of loud loud criticism of Arthur Blank and Ry Smith and this Atlanta Falcons team and her usage of everything uh how do you see it going AJ Hawk so who’s the
Falcons quarterback this week H again yep hinei as long as hinei is in the lineup I’m going to take Atlanta right now and has nothing to do against Ritter I just love hinei that much I know the Bears are playing well Justin Field’s playing well give me the Falcons well
All hinei does is Zan Zay Zay the matter matter he’s a leader yep man un sure I was on Bears heavy yeah and then I heard Taylor hani’s name and I just thought about what happens when hani’s playing quarterback for teams for whatever reason and the Falcons are like
The perfect hanii team yeah you know what I mean oh yeah I will add this half of Chicago thinks this is Justin Field’s last game last home game in Chicago and they all say that he’s going to be a falcon next year all right I think he plays really well against the
Colts two years in a row he’s he did it Ellinger last year comeback beat the [ __ ] out of the Colts too much uh just a little just a little you what I mean just a little just a little too much too much Pizzazz on that yeah Terry mclen you know
Homecoming touchdown to win the game yeah was right in front of our face it’s sick just mopped him did that dude come over and eat foxy again cream pie always does no they they’re friends now yeah we’re good oh that’s nice there’s no cream pie either thank you
Whipped cream now blue cream pies people remember that’s his thing yeah blue the mascot for the Indianapolis Colts topof the line mascot good masc good mascot great mascot he cream pies everybody he goes around cream pie it’s his number one internet search yep oh boy yeah don’t search that on the
Internet think cream pods the [ __ ] out everybody they never know it’s coming either cuz the way he does it and sets it up it’s like surprise cream PS yep to my face bam over and over somebody would just be sitting there and all of a sudden buying their
Business Boomie boom happened to Foxy happened Fox no not me not not foxy foxy got plastic yeah a lot of other people not me like that was weird it was Sal give me the Chicago Bears love it oh okay give me the Atlanta Falcons oh why I just beat the Colts so
I need them to continue to be a good team you know what I mean just for the sake of my Sandy let’s go Dolphins Ravens big one hey this is a big one what time is that game 1:00 come on Raj this can’t happen lot of one o’ clockers 10 of them it’s
Ridiculous Dolphins Ravens is going to be tough to find wherever the [ __ ] you live but let’s definitely let’s watch it okay if we can because this is a good one M AJ who do you like man after seeing that big fangio clip uh talking about Baltimore I feel even better about
This pick but give me the Dolphins as the uh the road dogs here plus three and a half I watched hard knocks this week we all did that is a little bit of a swearer yeah that hook too Ravens can still win Justin Tucker can still come
Out do his thing win win by one win by two win by three Bo n no what strictly gambling Finn fins are getting this one that’s I’m talking about I’m talking about it’s I feel like it’s the right play MH you know one o00 game they’re
Both going to have to yeah right you know what I mean I mean the Ravens just beat Ravens just beat the team that everyone thought was unbeatable are you trying to talk me out of my Dolphins pick you picked the Dolphins I mean is Mike Flores gonna motivate the Ravens again here
Potentially Jaylen wd’s not in well you already picked the Dolphins that’s all the motivation they need all right give me the Ravens there we go they know they say AJ Keith vanoi is gonna go yeah and you saw what he say yes what he say what’ he say hey
Guess what NFL huh gave you the blueprint to beat the ners go ahead take it we don’t care we’ll do it again okay was that in response to what Bosa said about the blueprint for the Eagles I I think so but he didn’t really reference
That he’s a funny guy I think there’s a new episode right coming up yeah two shot let’s go kvn May Keith boy Kyle Keith Van no give me the Ravens ners commanders another one o’clock no that’s four o’clock is that four I think that is another one o’clock in Washington yeah
Yeah of course uh 12 and a half AJ who do you like give me the San Francisco 49ers me as well Raiders Colts three and a half Colts are favored at home against give me Raiders here we go Raiders I thought we were doing it quick
I’m sorry did that seem like that was like uh you know was that harsh too much time you’ve done that I think all year I’m just thinking I’m just thinking Max Crosby the defense the offense everybody we we can throw for 60 yards and win by
30 points that’s what they do our teams have been just the Colts this season have not done well whenever somebody’s just getting to the quarterback cardiac Colts Gardner never loses back to back though I agree that is who he is answers Max Crosby is going to be an issue
Pretty pissed off not going to be there had no idea was it going to be at this game sure tell about set up a lot of things 30 hours a lot of things potentially for this game I think it’s going to be a good one I think there’s
Going to potentially be a lot of a good amount of Raiders fans okay in the lighthouse okay which is only going to make it better for the Colts Bingo Colts minus three and a half hey Max Crosby sorry about it about maybe just don’t even play yeah hey Max Crosby don’t play
Stick to your pod yeah how about that that sounds like it sounds like something he would do well that’s the thing like just just so the so you can continue to play the way you play which is every single down as hard as you possibly can making the tackle’s life
Miserable which we have proven in the past that our tackle can become a Turn Style now that was with Miles Garrett Max Crosby similar yeah with a motor right yeah that is never stops cooler nickname so it’s like the Condor so like he needs to save energy for the last
Week of the Season you’re right that’s true max take the game off you’ve earned it pal go Max Max proud of you Max Nobody Does that nobody gets earned the opportunity just to sit game don’t even give him a sack on the stats just give
Him one maybe two yeah cuz he earned it congratulations give me the Colts minus three and do you feel like Max could really [ __ ] up this whole game though oh yeah he’s going to yeah only player to play this year uh who was ruled doubtful
That has continued on he is the only one so he he will play doubtful yeah people were saying I wasn’t going to play I don’t even know how that even crosses your mind and then the offseason when he’s actually fist fighting Shan Strickland y man and he just had a great night too
Who’s that Sean Strickland he’s Champion right oh yeah a couple I think it was either last week or two weeks ago someone was talking [ __ ] behind him and he like heard him obviously and guy’s going to fight yeah oh okay sweet yeah and he like politely asked someone to move and then jumped
Over the chair got big melee oh I saw yeah yeah he asked the family and the kid the other fighter was sitting directly behind me he asked the kid and the wife to move I guess hold on I’m about to fight this guy I’m about to
Fight later hey just real quick uh can you slide out of I’m gonna yeah kind of gave away his game plan but at least uh it’s a good way to Hype a fight yeah it didn’t matter who won he won yeah yeah you think you got a good feel of him too
Cuz you know how some guys thring to stare down they like push him and it’s like go actual feel let me see if I can let me see I can move a little bit a little bit more you think that was an information gathering scuffle there on
The side for Shan Strickland yeah he’s a very yeah dcus dupes that’s a name yeah yes that is who he’s fighting he related to Mar great name believe he’s a South African Double D well good luck to all of them out there Crosby take the day off uh Panthers Jaguars Sixpoint
Favorites at home wow you know the Panthers mounted quite a comeback last week yeah he was uh he was looking really good against a Joe Barry Le off offense of the Green Bay Packers thought they were going to potentially ruin the Green Bay Packers entire holiday Jaguars
On a little bit of schneide you know since Trevor Lawrence has kind of been injured and kcus it hasn’t looked as pretty down there in Jacksonville they get back on the right path here this weekend AJ I like the Jacksonville Jaguars here yeah I was trying to figure out a way
That I would take the Panthers but I just don’t see it happen I think Jacksonville has to find a way to play better all right give me the uh Jacksonville Jaguars as well Steelers Seahawks uh three and a half Point favorites at home are the Seattle SE
Hawks with Mason Rudolph taking a lion share a portion of the first team reps in the stadium Plus on the practice grass as well as in a locker room team meeting place okay I believe is what Tomlin said but we will evaluate Kenny Pickett’s Mobility around the hallways
And the [ __ ] to see if he potentially has earned himself from a medical standpoint a couple more opportunities for some reps with the second team on the grass at the practice field said Mike tolet bingo Mason Rudolph taking on the 12th man out there is he ready for it AJ oh
Yeah I think Mason I mean I was impressed with mace what he what he did um I think it might be a little more difficult this week in Seattle so give me the Seahawks minus three and a half I’ll take Seahawks as well and uh just
Do this boys just don’t even listen to what we’re saying or add us the motivation add us his motivation you do what you got to do Gino Smith you know comes back leads a game-winning touchdown just a weak remove from Drew lockon the same thing I think it’s the
First team to have that happen in back-to-back weeks with two different quarterbacks I think in like I don’t know I’m going to say 20 years I think I forget the stat maybe it was the entire NFL I just like Pete Carol a lot not that I don’t like mikee Tomlin but I
Like Pete Carol a lot let’s go with the Chargers Denver Broncos Broncos favored at home with a new quarterback in town yeah I cannot wait to watch how Shawn pton and this team respond and play this week with the benching of Russell Wilson AJ who do you like so are there any uh
Stats on like fired quarterback bets the next game on your team stum I believe is undefeated because last year he he did he won his replacement play quarterback for the Chargers e stick I like him as well but I’m taking the Broncos minus three and a half me too give me the
Broncos minus three and a half as well I don’t know what that means of what we’re thinking but I am this one feels really good yes this one feels really good you think so right you would think yeah it’s like a head coach you know and I’m not saying
That they don’t like him which some players don’t but like whenever there’s a new energy for whatever reason it’s like a another reason to reprove yourself like they’re benching Russell Wilson they just called out the entire offensive line it’s like you can kind of lock in and motivate in a time and play
Your best safe let you know that hey nobody is safe sometimes guys play a little bit harder when that’s the case I agree go ahead Shawn payon also talking about bringing in his own guys he was the one that brought in Jared stum oh stum is what some people used to
Call him we’ll see if he gets a big time dub by at least four points against a Chargers let’s go Bengals Kansas City Chiefs interesting Chiefs favored by seven but nobody on Earth believes they’re playing good football including themselves how do you see it going AJ
Hawk do they get back on track and what about Jake bring is he GNA bounce back to what he was against like the Indianapolis Colts yeah shall we Jake Jake brownie is definitely still gonna he’s going to play all right but he’s got big Chris Jones baring down on them
All day long so uh give me the Chiefs minus 7 I think they figure out maybe they work out some of their issues who knows literally started this week uh Tuesday was saying the Dynasty is falling for the Chiefs and uh yeah I think I was fibbing sure you know
Because it took me a long time to get to that point to say that because I believe in great yes I believe in great I think Travis Kel is great I think Andy Reed is great I think Patrick mahs is great I think they’re great like that is
I I think great wins in the end I think that is how it works so it’s hard for me to I was betting the New England Patriots for a long time just because Bill I believe Bill yep they’ll figure it out they will figure it out Jason
Kelce actually told Travis this week on a new heights podcast he said he got you Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reed you guys will figure it out or whatever as Travis Kelsey was incredibly bummed out he was bmed bmed out very bummed out about where the Chiefs are now a lot of people
Are say they don’t have the horses that they used to have so we’re not even judging them properly because we’re judging them against what they used to be as opposed to what they currently are constructed to be so what so what oh who cares Shake It Off shake it shake shake
Shake it off shake it off you know what I’m saying AJ in a see how you worked that in see give me the Chiefs golly I just said they were dead I mean a long time ago still at home that place going to be Rock it’s going to be dark
By the second quarter it’s going to be a great atmosphere before that you listen to the new heights too you could actually hear from yeah you from the Walker you the bomed outness he was bombed dot very Packers Vikings Sunday Night Football go one team has to win out and they’ll basically guarantee
Themselves a spot in the playoffs with a brand new quarterback a brand new team and a brand new look in a year that has been quite a roller coaster for the entire Squad but what else could you expect in a transition year to their new franchise quarterback and on the other
Side injuries Galore everybody’s hurt all the time the football Gods blessed them last year this year they forgot they existed now jiren Hall out of BYU will be the starting quarterback after Nick Mullins goes for 400 yards a week ago he’ll have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison will not have TJ
Hawkinson and defense that Brian Flores leads good one stat onepoint favorites are the Minnesota Vikings at home against the pack Packers with the skull chant echoing through the entire State even onto that Lake manona where there’s swordfish that I pulled out while Arctic wolves ran by Tai Schmidt while he’s
Pooping in a ceiling lless poor John out in the middle of the frozen lake Ty how do you feel this one goes uh I think the Packers are going to win I really do now uh Christian Watson I don’t think is going to play once again he’s had a a had hamstring for
Several weeks now but this just feels like I mean Jordan love last several weeks has kind of put together games where you know even more so you’re thinking he’s a guy Aaron Jones back last week rushed for over 120 yards looked very good and then their young
Receivers have kind of just stepped up in Christian Watson’s uh absence and then hopefully the defense can can keep jiren Hall just in check just a tiny bit maybe get like one stop when they need to in the fourth quarter at some point maybe get a few sacks or maybe turn them
Over once or twice like that would be incredible but Packers need to win these last two just absolutely have to and I think they will win on Sunday night that’s what’s all about AJ in Tai Schmidt’s eyes do you see it happening and how do you see it going yeah I mean
I think this defense is get to Rally they’re going to probably be wearing headbands that say Jer on it because of you know he’s being suspended ohey be there you think will he be at the game yeah maybe they walk out with hisers walk out with his jersey to the
Captains yeah mhm one captain another captain and just walk out with him cuz he said the guys the guys have my back they’re have to hide it though they to tuck it in their their pants or something and then pull it out right as they’re walking so the coaches don’t
Snatch it well the floor doesn’t see [ __ ] apparently a guy just walked out and became the you know what I mean last week I don’t seems like there’s a lot going on maybe pregame dab routine with a bunch of people we don’t even see yeah
And if we are going to do that have like not one of the starters who could potentially get suspended for next week and an also a must-win situation yeah may your best Bo best players good point good point who do you like AJ give me the Packers Packers here we go plus one

Delaware Blue Hen legend Joe Flacco
WHOA WHOA WHOA EVERY EFFIN FAN I KNOW IN BALTIMORE COUNTY HARFORD COUNTY CECIL COUNTY MOGO COUNTY PG COUNTY THE WHOLE STATE CALLED HIM JOE FOOTSTEPS FLACCO, THE REPLACEMENTS THE MOVIE WAS FILMED AT THE BANK M&T BANK AT THE TIME WAS PSINET STADIUM I THINK OR SOMN LIKE THAT AN ONE OF HIS FIRST FEW PLAYS EVER WAS A WR REVERSE THROW TO FLACCO 30 YARDS DOWN FIELD 😂 CATCH AND TUDDY IS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I REMEMBER TO THIS DAY
I appreciate Kirk talking about lee corso. I had no idea the man had a stroke, respect to corso
Herbie epitomizes excellence and professionalism. Seems like a genuinely good guy as well.
13:03… ESPN agenda.. Connor wanted to say Flacco but then goes “oh..?” And says Damar Hamlin cuz Pat made him
Kirk giving the definition of a college football new world order.
Going for a late night walk watching the show is such a vibe Love this show
Thank God for pat n the Boyz I'm laid off for a couple weeks and the shows r keeping me from losin my mind 🙌
Last show of the year lads
Love this show more than my own kids but can we PLEASE stop reacting to what social media CLAHNS think about anything?? I get its an internet show but its real people that watch it who couldnt give a fk on what twitter/X thinks 🥴
Love the show so I would be an absolute hypocrite if I acted like this show didn’t roast Lee Corso earlier and I laughed the whole time 😂 not saying they were wrong but Pat acting like that didn’t happen was hilarious
Rogers is such an infant that he thinks reporters are against him for not getting a shot. Maybe it's because he lied about it unlike many players who stood up for what they thought on the matter. I can't wait until he is gone. The league got along without Brady so he will be forgotten overnight.
i miss tank top pat😢
No one said, "Nipples?"
Joey footsteps Flacco for president 2024 letsss ride
GUYS!!!! Stop, let the season play out. Stop the knee and old sock jerkin. I'm glad Flacco is on a tare, but he is still throwing INTs unnecessarily. Cannot go for that , no can do ( hall and oates). Also, the elephant in the room is , Joe is the prototype QB for AFC North football. Watson , Shorty Mayfield are/ were not. You got to be a big boy to play in this division with strong arm, gimmicks, and gumption. It'aint gonna cut it.
Demar dont even play !! How would he be comeback player
Team on me team on 3 ✊
Wished someone let them know West Virginia and Ohio st play each other Saturday in basketball
@01:55:50 Herbie making a STRONG case for Uncle A here
never been a fan of the name Chase but might name my future son Chase just to call him Hatin' Ass Chase lmao
1:06:00 what a fxking BAR🤣🤣🔥
The Undercover dawg beat hard asf 🔥
From the looks of the score no one on Ohio State showed up except the defense…they scored 3 pts.
My 7th grade math teacher dated Joe Flacco in high school 😤😤
People hate Aaron cause he LIED about getting vaccinated by saying he’s immunized. No one cares about Kirk or Lamar not being vaccinated
I'm 74 and have been watching ESPN since the first shows went around trying to find some sport to put on. Nobody thought it would turn into what it has become. The Pat McAfee show is the best entertainment on TV. Period. I have cancer so I don't go out doing a lot of things I used to. Played D1 Football at Va Tech. Played fullback and linebacker and I punted. Well I punted in HS and thought I was pretty good until I saw Jack Simsack turn over a 70 yard spiral on his first kick. Mike Bragg worked out on my HS field. He punted for the Redskins in the late 60s. His dad charted every kick he did in practice. Distance and time.
Kickers have a unique view of the game. I appreciate Pat and think its smart to have the guard rails surrounding him to keep things moving somewhere, but its Pat's personality that explodes off the screen. Great show. Glad to get away from pronouns and politics and get to be entertained by some Americans. Ya'll be safe. Peace.
Pat's looking jacked. Royal Rumble maybe?
Anyone know why Pac-Man stopped coming on?
I wanna smoke trees with Pat
You don’t know if Aaron is gonna move on as fast?? It’s 2023 and he’s made it his personality lmao
I agree with Herbie.. get rid of crap bowls… no reason the “Poptart bowl” should be a thing
The Flacco pole greasing needs to stop.
the browns have a line and the jets never did… thats why it didnt work in New York.
To turn around a team and bring them into the playoffs and make a super bowl run, is really tough. To turn a team around that's been through as much as the Jets this year, that's going to take someone with near superhuman powers. Rodgers could've done it last year. But to bring THIS battered team to the playoffs, that's a very tall order for any one person.
Arizona is in PRIME trade out spot. they can come out with a haul this offseason
How can damar hamlin win comeback player of the year?? He doesn't even play that's stupid
Best on ive seen so far
"Flacco around and find out!"
Joe the Pro Flacco. Fuckin is still the best nickname for anyone like Tom Fuckin Brady. Joe Fuckin Flacco lol
Yew boys were an absolute highlight of my year, started watching after the multicast Pat did for the Michigan v TCU game and I never looked back, thank you for all the joy you add to the world by being yourselves, keep living the dream.
