Ah A A Oh N A A A The following program is a collection of students talking about happenings in the sports world it is meant to be comedic informative the opinions expressed on this show do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of their peers their boss or ESPN there may be some cuss words because that’s how Cubans is the real

World talk if you are a young please seek permission before watching any further hey let’s go this show stinks and the fact that you listen we are very very thankful for the all time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers you P up up damn it be a friend tell a

Friend something nice to change their life sport sport sport sport sport hello beautiful people and Welcome to our humble abode the Thunderdome on this Aaron Rogers Tuesday January 9th 2024 this sports program starts now football was magical last night was it not as we crowned a new college football

National champion congrats to the Michigan wolver good an absolutely dominating performance where the Washington Huskies could have made it a game but instead the Michigan defense continued to smother the Michigan offense continued to be explosive they go over 400 and some yards total 350 plus on the ground the most dominant win

I think from a physicality standpoint that we have seen in sometime now Georgia smacked TCU in a mouth one year ago in the championship so it’s hard not to just say that’s the most dominating win but if you look at how Michigan beat Washington last night it was exactly how

Everybody kind of predicted well Michigan who wants to ground and pond in Old School football be able to do what they’ve done all year against this Washington Huskies team who’s tried and true well Donovan Edwards got this thing started with a 41 yard touchdown then a 46 yard touchdown on the ground that’s

That’s number two and number three whenever it comes the longest touchdown runs in cfp championship history Derrik Henry has a 50- yard Donovan Edwards has a 46 and a 41 Yer you just saw the motions and the shifts and you see the miscommunication from Washington Chiron

Moore who was the interim head coach for the last three weeks as Jim Harbaugh was serving a suspension because of that rat bastard Conor stallion being a rogue agent was in his bag I assume a lot of people are looking at him for head coaching opportunities but will he be

The head coach of this Michigan Wolverine I think Jim Harbaugh sat down with ree Davis this morning and we haven’t seen the entire interview as Blake corm continues to get loose and once again that’s all on the ground this is not 1995 this is 2024 for the 2023 national championship and they pounded

The rock it was fun to watch Hardball loved that team that team loved each other they came back to accomplish exactly what they accomplished and now the future is all anybody’s going to talk about we will have somebody from the college football World joining us in

The next 10 to 15 minutes as Harbaugh got a Gatorade bath after alluding the first one on the sideline with some incredible Quicks you know cuz comeback kids got some agility SK at incred Old AG I think he also puts about a half a tin in his lip oh yeah every single day

Of his life so this dude’s a dog always has been his dad obviously cut a promo on the stage as the microphone cut out who’s got it better than us nobody the hard balls are obviously living an incredible high and now all anybody wants to know is if that guy who

Has now accomplished a national championship and has been able to sit at the same table as his father who won an Natty and his brother who won a Super Bowl championship does he want to maybe go check off the list of a Super Bowl championship that he was this close to

Winning whenever Beyonce put the lights out in New Orleans and the Baltimore Ravens get a massive win over the San Francisco 49ers a lot of people are going to ask that ree Davis talked to Jim Harbaugh this morning we haven’t seen the entire conversation but I do

Know the caption of it said that nobody knows what the future holds that’s kind of what Harbaugh has been saying this entire time a lot of Michigan people are hoping he comes back especially after experiencing what he experienced last night you can’t experience that in the

NFL no they were singing in that locker room to they were doing that oh yeah you don’t get that in the NFL perfectly he actually told me in our Barbara Walter super journalism sit down true he said when I die and they throw dirt on top of

Me and wood right I think he he saw himself laying in there as they were throwing the dirt on top of me well there’s wood there so they’re not I’m hoping they do put me in a casket he said if they eulogize me and just say he was a Michigan man he’s like

That’s all right by me that man loved that school he goes back accomplishes it all through a lot of adversity him and his brother obviously have a great moment that team has a moment now that they’ll meet and have reunions for forever and there’s you know Tom Ken oh

Yeah former IU bball coach one year going into the season they were ranked three they ended up in the NIT some in Indianapolis started a song and said he went from number three to the N now everybody’s screaming fire Tom creen that was not us but we did hear it

And he did get fired he’s in that family of coaching as well couldn’t even fathom how motivating and inspiring Thanksgiving is over there but congrats to Michigan Wolverines it was an honor to watch you guys incred the talk to table was here as they were on the

Sideline last night as well I think wearing the same exact shirt that’s at Boston Conor and at Tai Schmidt no change of clothes for the con man no no change of clothes I did not plan on uh the FBO to here thought we were possibly stop by the apartment so sure same shirt

Let’s not stop there let’s not stop there same socks same pants same underwear I smell like a hockey bag right now but it’s great to be here yesterday was incredible early on too I was thinking to myself last year TCU this is happening right now Michigan’s

Getting blown out if a team has purple colors excuse me Washington’s getting blown it was hard last night I was saying Michigan and Washington in my brain very easy to yeah cuz Y in yeah in that was a tough one for me yesterday especially with 10 hours on TV I’m it’s

Going to carry into today for sure but you’re right purple in the national championship as of late not a good color to be we yeah might might have to cut them out and if you do have purple colors maybe start thinking hey maybe we change the magenta maybe we or all black

All black go go all black that’d be cool with a little white and gold like Washington but no it was a fantastic game kind of felt bad for penx as he’s walking off nothing went right we were talking about you know Texas watching that game last night’s probably think

How about Oregon watching that game you got to be kidding me this guy couldn’t miss anything all year and now they’re having all these non Wasington esque plays but that’s Michigan’s defense they were flying around and you know Pack 12 they at least they went out as a national champion finalist you know

Maybe they hang the banner Allah the Colts in the AFC Championship but yeah it was a Domination by that Michigan yeah dline offensive line mindset the whole thing Tai speaking of mindsets and what Connor mentioned there early was uh we’re supped flyback last night we sure were but because of the questionable

Weather in Houston and they literally didn’t know if it was going to be a tornado or calm cool Skies they kind of grounded a lot of planes like there wasn’t a lot of planes getting in and out of Houston last night so we ended up staying the night leaving this morning

You know it’s another slap Happy Tuesday for sure another slap Happy Tuesday abut not a lot of sleep which is good Ty because I don’t know if you saw it last night while the college football national championship was going on and Jim Harbaugh was winning a national championship with Michigan Wolverines

Yep Jimmy Kimmel spent seven minutes and 32 seconds talking about Aaron Rogers yeah he did you know and and who who are we to think that hey maybe this Tuesday I’ll come and and we won’t even mention any of this stuff we’ll just casual exactly we’ll just we’ll talk about how

Incredible of a day we had in Houston yesterday what what an incredible season we had for college football how good the drinks were exactly how much fun we had last night Pizza Hut was there which was again they do not miss they do not miss but of course that happened you know we

We get that monologue and then now we’re kind of you know going from slap happy to I mean I’m I’m on the roller coaster I got the little thing coming down over uh over my shoulders here and I’m just I’m just waiting for Rogers come on just

See what he’s going to say so I’m excited yeah I mean you mentioned it you were on TV for 10 hours yesterday and then late last night yeah we tied one on and had a couple pops and and woke up early this morning and some of us maybe

You know basically got shaken by the shoulders by security uh for the hotel to wake up this morning but it’s a great Tuesday we’re all alive we had a great night I I’m I’m excited to be here with you guys there’s a couple bodies missing from the Vans this morning that were

Leaving very early from the hotel to make it to the plane those people did have phones that were operating they were called those people did have hotel room phones that were called and slept through them and then there was a health and wellness check that you can always

Drop in there where they send security into the room and uh I’m not saying Ty was certainly one of the people that was missing but Ty did wake up with a stranger shaking his body to make sure he was alive rolled over to a guy basically saying like wake up your car’s

Outside right now that was uh that’s a hell of a way to start Tuesday that’s a hell of a way to start Tuesday so I’m I’m rearing to go I’m excited for today we’re back baby let’s do it Ty and Nick certainly the alarm clock boys were

Missing I said about clearly alarm my room was right across the hall from his and I was out in the hallway and I could hear his alarm going off in the hallway and I pounded on his door for a good 5 minutes and nothing happened I said well Houston’s got

Now I didn’t know if it was going to be a Bangkok situation where we were just going to leave you guys I had no like I didn’t think about anybody missing the shuttle until I was heading down the elevator at 530 a.m. this morning or whatever and

Being like Oh there’s no way everybody’s here like that that was literally with how tired was I was like there’s no chance that everybody in our office after what I just saw everybody doing MH and I want to let you know we celebrated that college football season last was

Last in the lobby three three was last call yeah but also I mean they were kind of a little lenient with that whole thing felt like there was a lot of extra drinks going out past last call and then we get in there pretty much there was only four people missing yeah standard

Humans I think we thought after seeing last night would be missing yeah top top four yeah I mean foxy kind of slipped in there true more so top foxy had the wrong time I just had the wrong time first time in my life there foxy was panicked he sprinted down sweating

Through his bag like Foxy there’s still two guys I normally need I normally need coffee didn’t need it had a heart attack so I was wide awake yeah it was a good morning so I’m happy we got everybody back to Indie happy we’re here today but yeah didn’t know about that Jimmy Kimmel

Thing until after the game obviously because there’s no service in any of these stadiums and to be honest I know there’s a lot of people writing uh that I just let anybody say anything well I let first ball Hall of Famer who’s the best football thrower in the history of

Football uh say whatever opinions they would like to have I think that’s considered journalism we’re learning more about one of the greatest athletes of all time I think than we ever have in the past and I know you suits are going to say a little bit different but I

Thought I knew how today was probably going to go because how loud it got and how all parties don’t love like that whole thing some things I think some people are like you know Friday yeah some people you know get things get real loud may weily expect it to get as loud

And I think we’re all pumped for this week to go and then you learn of the entire beginning of the show happening you’re like well now I’d be interested to see how this whole thing is going to go so I’d like to let everybody know we’re just as interested as you are

Absolutely and uh yeah that’s coming in less than an hour I want to let everybody know we did ask him if he wanted to come in the noon hour just in case we wanted to rerun any of our previous shows in a second hour because we assume today will be a crop program

Uh after what we have been through this morning total but no 105 still locked in his time he had some stuff to do obviously he’s a professional athlete and uh I’m assuming after today we’re just going to move on Def yeah of course forgot well I’m excited

Learn about I’m excited to learn about Schrodinger’s dog in the second hour uh that’s what I’m most excited from Aon it’s not shinger who’s Schrodinger if you hear the Dunning Krueger effect Tony Freddy Krueger it’s on me you what did you think that what did you think Jimmy Kim stringer’s dog

Okay like Pavlov’s dogs or something there it is ring the bell is tring cat is it that is it tring’s cat it is sher’s cat yes okay if they tell you there’s a dead cat in that box there’s a dead cat in that box and what was the

One the Jimmy called Dunning ker dun Krueger effect which basically said that Aaron’s too arrogant to even though he’s dumb in a field that’s outside of like football what he’s naturally gifted at that’s right now he’s obviously the only human in the world that would potentially suffer from that potential

Effect in the world we are currently living absolutely you know what I mean remember we just went through a Bitcoin time and an NF time and a lot of things where everybody became experts very quickly feels like we should have known about these donning Krueger phenomenal so we appreciate Jimmy for

That and also like I understand why Jimmy feels the way he feels so I’m pumped to hear what happens in the second hour I’m also pumped to continue the chatter about our brand new national champions dbut you were on a sideline 9-year NFL vet looking so cool with your

Cowboy wow so cool with your C why do you think this Michigan defense was just so damn great against Michael penx and at Washington Huskies offense because if you look back to what they did to Alabama and Jaylen milro like wow Alabama’s offense is playing horrendous this is terrible if Alabama’s offense

Didn’t play horrendous this is a completely different game well maybe Michigan’s defense just caused him to play miserable maybe Michigan’s defense was the reason why Michael penck didn’t play as great why was this Michigan defense so good and is it duplicable for for this particular University to do it

Again oh yeah for the same University for sure Jesse mentors that defense has been phenomenal all year long wire the wire they just dis just like the offense you know Chiron Mo he’s done with that offense but they make you go to long hardwind I said it a bunch of times last

Night they’re not going to give up the big plays think about just off the top of your head how many times you saw Miss open field tackles so when you’re playing a zone defense rallying and tackling stapling guys to the ground is a huge part of that uh will Johnson in

The corner I think he won a defensive MVP I think Mike sstr could have did it as well so you also have some phenomenal players we know how deep their defensive front is so um talented players great coaches when it all comes together uh they’re a tough team to beat and uh I

Mean they they left absolutely no doubt last night in anyone’s mind in college football the every Champs closing out this uh you know four four team college football playoff era you know going into the next era now uh so we’ll see what Harbaugh does you know because obviously

He’s a big part of that being the head coach even though he was away from the team for a few games uh you know this year you see how strong you know his coaching staff is so we’ll see if he goes on to the NFL level

Because he did what he had to do at Michigan or I mean he was talking about spring practice too so he just already ready to flip that page I forget who told us this last night maybe it was Matt Barry or ree Davis or Stanford Steve I forget who it was last night

Maroy I think it was Stanford Steve maroy could have been did he Pete slim Pete Pete Rabbit slim Pete Pete rabbit was cly in abundance last I guess it was Stanford Steve maybe he was talking to Scott velt after the game and he said something about we normally

Start spring practice on Valentine’s Day because we love football of course but I’m thinking about pushing that back a month that was the comment that made and everybody was like spring practice pushing it back a month wait a minute now I think the hiring of Don Ye and I

Talked to a lot of college football people who are obviously very pumped for Jim Harbaugh to potentially stay in college football because the character that Jim Harbaugh and I’m only getting to know it here I think in the last few weeks phenomenal best hilarious one of

One you know there’s an entire uh promo that his dad talked about whenever people call him quirky he’s quirky and his dad instead of giving like a fun answer to whoever asked him this in the media he said is quirky getting all your players to buy in is quirky getting your

Players to not mess with any distractions is quirky like basically rattled off his son’s resumee and was like if that’s the case call me quirky too and then like walked off pretty much it was almost like I’m sick of people calling my kid quirky um it’s not he’s

Certainly one of one and I think quirky would be a good word to describe him but I think we’re all kind of missing the fact that Jim Harbaugh is a phenomenal football coach what that team went through this year yes and he in his press conference wanted to make sure

Everybody was reminded and understood that hey we’re Innocent by the way here’s Jim Harbaugh basically cutting off Blake corm with a question about the asterisk of the season because of what took place with the Connor stallion situation and remember Jim Harbaugh knows a lot more than us about what was investigated what

Computers were taken what cell phones were taken what was looking through look through for this entire thing and remember the statement said that they believe Jim did not know any of this was happening here’s Jim after the Championship being asked basically about how people should view this title especially with the word cheaters

Trending last night on X here’s Jim Harbaugh sticking up for his team this was not a season where everything went the way you wanted it to there were the off the field issues which we all know about can you talk about the satisfaction having overcome

Those as well to get to this point does it make it even sweeter can I can I yeah go ahead yeah it couldn’t have gone better it went exactly how we wanted it to go uh to win every game players can I the off off the field issues we’re

Innocent and we stood we stood strong and Tall because we knew we were innocent and I just like to point that out and These Guys these guys are innocent and yeah overcome that um it wasn’t that hard cuz we we knew we were innocent so um yeah

That’s uh really what I want to say it went exactly how we wanted it to go it went exactly how we wanted it to go I love that he is getting to enjoy this but I also appreciate the fact that he’s like they’ve done the investigation yeah

The NCAA is going to try to do their investigation we knew in our team meeting room that no matter what was said outside we’re going to try to dominate the next day because it the only thing that matters and also we didn’t do nothing I remember I

Asked Blake cor Blake did you know they’re running cover two whenever you were running for five touchdowns last year and Blake said no I didn’t know that they like me neither stallion did I asked will Johnson did you know they were running an out rout when he

Jumped one pitch did you know and will said no I like Nei I Nei we stallions do so I stood up there and I said I had no idea that this guy was doing this and we all kind of rallied around that actually that everybody is going to be attacking

How great we are as a team because of something that took place in here by a psychopath I think you ever anybody has a manifest 500 is normally bit of a nut you know he came back to the internet last night too especially titling and he was at the

Rose B I don’t know if he was at ring I don’t think so I I don’t think he’s getting ring he’s making his own he’s he’s get a ring one way or he’s going to J’s and yeah yeah because uh Jeff Sims actually broke down exactly what the

Ring looks like and he was in the corner all right I’m going handle little something actually I’m put B Knox maybe yeah right there right up here but that’s something that could rally the group and they clearly did that to keep all the distraction and noise out 18 the

23y olds incredible coaching job has to be talked about with Jim Hardball yeah he can coach the out of football and get a sit down with him you feel like his energy it’s like okay this guy loves ball more than you do more than I do and also this guy wants to connect

Like when he’s talking to you he’s trying to make a connection it’s just like he oozes coaching and uh I’m happy he spoke up for himself last night in the biggest M he was kind of mentioned too great great sit down with him and uh

In theor as well but um he it just just speaks to the leadership on that team once again from the coaching staff they’re a veteran group too a lot of guys that came back so once you kind of get that hey it’s us against everybody remember when all the players put out

The Tweet bet bet bet yeah wish I would have listened to him but uh you know yeah that just speaks to that team you know how tight they were and they went out there and play like he said it went exactly how they wanted to go if you

Drew up the game the perfect game plan for them everybody in here we would all yeah run for 300 yards and keep Michael pennis in the pocket get after him limit the Run game you know Michael Penn you know he was a little off but that was I

Think had a lot to do with that Michigan defense obviously playing that zone having him rather he was never comfortable in the pocket he did miss some throws I think uh Roman dun said he came on the one that he missed he ran the wrong route so once again michig did

A great job never happened all year yeah exactly because the the great job they do on defense just like they do on offense with the formation shifting and motioning on defense they hold looks for you know right before the snap and then get to something so your quarterback and

Your receivers have to be on the same page so can’t say enough about the job that uh that hard Ball’s done yeah and like the other thing we’ve talked about a lot is the football Gods like the football Gods had multiple times throughout the season to just cut

Michigan down at the knees like they started out without Harbaugh they finished the regular season without Harbaugh that is something the football Gods if they really did think or excuse me if they really did know that Harbaugh in the Michigan team were cheating they would have cut him down they corm would

Have fumbled on the goal line something would have happened and the the Corky thing people are talking about I I guess they’re not the same but like do do people say that about P Carroll because it feels like Pete Carroll is kind of the same jovial way taking his shirt off

With DK like you’re talking about connecting with players Pete Carroll is in that bill bich 71 Elder Statesman in the NFL but he’s still throwing seven on seven he’s still you know jovial as everol also one of the coaches that has won uh Natty and Super Bowl yeah so I

Think there’s only a few that have been able to do that you might have to be able to uh think differently if you’re going to be connecting with 18y olds and 35 year olds and Jim Harbaugh has been able to do that at a high level and last

Night he gets a chance to you know celebrate a little bit for all his hard work joining us now as a man who had an incredible season was on the call last night alongside his dog and Chris fer and Holly row ladies and gentlemen Kirk herb

Street Herby how we doing how it go last night we’re waiting on you you oh you’re echoing you’re echoing terribly I’m e I’m echoing can you hear us now I hear you I think you had your hand underneath anyways where the hell were you what happened last night yeah

Yeah you want to hang off with the boys what’s that about I wanted to hang with the boys and Pat left the uh area that we were assigned to uh for just a a quick hello yeah yeah I did a quick hello and then

And I yeah I did a quick hello it was one of the best quick H I’ve ever done in my entire life I don’t know anybody in here hello all right and then and then I thought you were GNA do because you knew all the a little bit longer hang and

Then a hey how are the boys doing down in the lobby that’s what we thought was going to happen but we missed you want to let you know the boys handled themselves well they uh couple guys missed the shuttles this morning missed their alarms had to be woken up by

Security and wellness checks in their hotel room morning yeah two of those guys yeah we we had a great college football national championship all right let’s talk about it uh Michigan’s so dominant like just a phenomenal game and we talked in the hallway a little bit before you just

Decided to bail completely on all of us down in the lobby we talked about how Washington could have got back in that there was a couple moments where like it’s a 14-point game 17-point game or whatever Washington makes a play maybe they’re all the way back in it and what

They were able to do all year they just weren’t able to do last night and I think it’s time that we give credit to Michigan’s defense for making teams look worse than they look the rest of the year what were your thoughts on the game last night and as you were calling it

Were you thinking about like damn this is M Michigan is winning a national championship first time long time Herby I I I I was um you always have your thoughts whenever you’re doing a game after talking to folks and like privately you just think this game could

Go one way or the other I I wondered if Michigan would be able to get the penck Michael Pennock uh keep in mind Pat the style that Jesse Min used against Alabama and milroe who’s a very different quarterback in his run threat they they did a lot of pressure they

Squeezed the pocket they brought five sometimes six and and overwhelmed Bama with confusing them up front this time they got it done with four it was such a different look because the penck and the receivers they played a lot more Zone but they disguised they got in different

Looks they they really had Michael penx for the first time in his career at Washington uncomfortable and almost to the point where I think he was hurrying his thought process up and it was affecting his decision making and his accuracy which is his greatest asset was completely taken away from him so

Instead of me saying what’s wrong with penx what’s wrong what’s wrong with ad dun I walked out of there saying damn this defense is legit and they play Old School fundamental tackle in space do your assignment football rally to the football and it’s effective so Jesse

Miner to me after all went through with all that noise you know week six week seven week eight well the only reason they sto anybody is uh Conor stallions know the play and well I said I put that on a te and and then at the back end of

That they didn’t have any of that and they still went out and played great defense so congrats to to Michigan congrats to those players that were really on a mission since they lost to TCU last year and walked off that field yeah and maintaining the focus on the

Mission with all the distractions that’s not easy for anybody anybody at all even professionals I mean it’s like how they handled it was incredibly mature and he talked about putting that up on a te for uh Ty Pete last night he was doing Pete thill on the mega cast and a producer

Ben Ward good guy TV guy but good guy like we get along with him he’s he’s great for us he slides Tai Schmidt’s name under him while he’s talking he said put the name in my ear putting the name bars up so nobody thinks it’s actually Pete theml I’m

Like it that good yeah exactly there people I think are kind of there’s a chance who that there was a moment last night that you missed down the lobby where Ty and Pete were literally in the corner talking to each other Tai was a little boozed up so he’s close talking

Pete is up against the wall a little bit uncomfortable and it it was like a good 15 20 minutes of meeting of the minds let’s get back to that Jim Harbaugh Michigan conversation you talked about obviously on the defensive side on the offensive side Sheron Moore now interim

Head coach for the last three games we saw how emotional he got afterwards against that Penn State team where he was so thankful for Harbaugh and the opportunity and I think he knew at that time what we all kind of learned going forward is like none of them knew that

Was happening so that’s why they were super emotional I think it was a bunker mentality taking place he’s in line right he would be the if Jim was to doesn’t that seem like a natural baton toss right there for the Michigan team based on what happened this year and

Trum MO is a a kind of a a star in the making I mean this guy came in in 21 and Jim Harbaugh took a chance on him he not only he calling plays these last two years he he got them back to their identity which is a dominant offensive

Line that really sets the tone for the entire team and uh these last three years they they that’s been very evident now I’ll tell you from our guy Rich Rod on they recruited a different style of Michigan offensive lineman it’s taken a long time for them to get it back over

10 years but shrom Moore deserves creating that culture in that room and then the play calling and then taking on the head coaching responsibilities when Jim Harbaugh was down at the end of the year but I’ll tell you man more than that you know we we often watch these

College games and it’s it’s quarterbacks and it’s receivers and it’s a spread system yeah how refreshing for for our these old school guys to see blocking and tackling and a fullback and a tight end and just huddling huddling in a huddle yeah I mean it’s they are kind of

An old school approach on both sides but the plan they put together a lot of those confusion you should seen some of those big plays by by Donovan Edwards Washington got out of a gap you know and and Edwards to his credit had the vision to find it and exploded through for a

Couple big scores and then Washington they they tightened things up to their credit you know and made it a competitive game to your original point about you thought we were close to this thing become in 2020 if pennick would have ever been able to have the time you

Know it would have been fun to see if he could have settled and make throws but Michigan made him uncomfortable all the way through to the end of the game and they ended up getting that big interception late and secured Victory I it was I guess the final stats learned

From Marissa game day stats former Colgate softball player she said that really good first ever game hits a Dinger first at bat dog all about show she’s big brain big brain incredibly kind person she said that the ticket sales from what she was able to find was

6238 for Michigan felt like 70 30 65 35 their fans showed up I got a chance to talk to a lot of them and I want to let the Michigan fans know I appreciate the hospitality I appreciate how nice they were to me and I appreciate that every

One of them two of T said don’t start picking us now okay they all knew that all season I have picked against Michigan and they’ve got to the national championship and the reason why I picked against Michigan is because I thought the football Gods I thought the football

Gods at some point were going to rear their little head that’s what the football gods do with everything that happened now since I saw how it is kind of unfolded how the football gods have reacted it’s like yeah they are completely innocent the football Gods would have punished them in the worst

Way if what they were alleged to be doing they actually were doing so I grew a massive amount of respect not only for the Michigan fans but for this Michigan football team and for hard ball through this year with they battling and I picked M I picked Washington again in

The national championship on Game Day strictly because I was told by 2000 Michigan people do not pick us and it was like you got it and then they go to win by three scores did I win that National hey where’ it go get a ring give me a ring AR send one

Over I love that teamy I do I was gonna say I was gonna say you’ve been around them uh and that’s the best part of our job is getting around the the players these Michigan players um you got to really respect what they did and how

They did it not just this year but going back to the Georgia loss going back to the TCU loss um you know Aiden hutches in that era really got this thing started the leadership the foundation that they created and what they’ve done to be able to finish the job the last

Two years they’re just a motivated team keep that in mind for all the coaches that are out there trying to build the right culture somehow some way Jim Harbaugh created a culture where that Block M and the Maze and blue are more important to them while they’re playing

At Michigan than that NFL contract or that money and and I’m not saying that that’s not equally as important but they’re a ble to put that on the back burner because they care about each other and it’s a selfless group again it’s not an accident that these guys

Ended up getting to the National Championship with that culture and ultimately winning it now can they sustain it is the next question because that’s the toughest part is to do it year after year after year and that’s what makes us all kind of appreciate and

Bow down to to Nick Sav and what Kirby Smart these guys do because it’s challenging it’s one thing to get up there it’s a whole different thing when you lose a great group of leaders to keep doing it and we’ll see you know that’s the next challenge for them as

They move forward with Jim Harbaugh or without him very valid points tone has a question about that actually yeah when we were looking at the two deep on the uh cards last night for the game like damn near every starter is a senior and then JJ McCarthy is obviously not a

Senior but he could go km’s gone like there is there’s going to be they’re going to have to replace a lot next year can they do that because I know they’ve had great recruiting classes and stuff like that and does that like do you think that like losing JJ losing all

These seniors will factor into Harbaugh’s decision to potentially go to the NFL I really don’t think so I think there’s so much pride in what that that program is about top to bottom I don’t think it’s just about this class even though it’s a special group that’ll be

Remembered forever in an arbor and by Michigan fans and they should be and if JJ ends up leaving I I think there’s something about the thrill the challenge of trying to build it back up you know for a lot of coaches um but I think at

The end of the day for Jim Harbaugh it’s it’s really just going to be he just got to the top he he did what he this is his former school he’s an Alum he came back Big Dreams first few years weren’t going as well as he had hoped he makes some

Changes on his staff and postco they’d been as good as anybody the last three years and and now you get to the top is that it like he did what he wanted to do to come back to his school and he did it now is it just once and is the the

Allure of the NFL where he got to the Super Bowl he didn’t quite win it is that too powerful to turn away from because he wants one more shot to get back there or does he say you know what I’m just getting started in ant Arbor I

Mean we we just won one we’re going to get on a run here um who knows only he uh and his family really know what he’s thinking but personally I hope he stays in college football I enjoy him um I enjoy his program and I I really enjoy

The the the way they do business and the culture that they have only national champion of the last 10 years this is program instead of program too come on representing for the north you know what I mean uh last question for you Herby on this glorious Aaron Rogers Tuesday from

Exactly man we almost needed the national championship hell of a year for you and for college football safe travels out of there I guess that wind’s pretty unpredictable we got out this morning it was uh I mean it wasn’t the smoothest you know there was some certain some action there’s live action

Mhm we went from one side of country to the other we’re in Hills and hot weather and cold and rain we saw some Heroes up in Foxboro and then we wrapped it all up with the Michigan Wolverines being national champions Herby you’ve been nothing but a gentleman congrats on

Three decades of greatness can’t wait for next year when we start in Ireland with your Florida State seminal Kirk yeah taking on the Georgia T woo all right have a great offseason we love you too team on three one two three see you see you buddy love youy see okay as

We’re talking to Kirk herb stre massive news happened in the NFL ladies and gentlemen the Tennessee Titans have fired Mike Vel as their head coach of the Tennessee Titans Vel led the Tennessee to four consecutive winning seasons after arriving in 2018 but the Titans have experienced back-to-back frustrating Seasons finishing multiple

Games under 500 both times remember they were up three scores against the Chiefs in the playoffs whenever the miraculous run of the Kansas City Chiefs really began they turn it on they come back they win King Henry then gets a two-year $40 million deal because he’s the one

That led their team there tanah Hill was quarterback over Marcus Mariota he was hot they were doing it then all of a sudden kind of cold off now is that because the AFC South got so damn dominant potentially is that because Ryan tanah Hill maybe found his level

After some certain things happened is it maybe because they had to lose some guys in key spots that they didn’t play as good of football I don’t think anybody on Earth thinks that Mike vel’s a a bad coach but I do know that shefer told us

Yesterday that Vel was not in on the hiring of the new GM that took place about a year ago so the new GM will be able to get the head coach that he’s been looking for and hopefully Vel will be able to get to a place yeah that he W

Yes it’s a great dam God they fired him too fired him they fire they they didn’t part ways they fired M Ohio guy Mike Rael was Super Bowl champion three times CH Mike Vel firing means you got to pay him yeah yeah you do idiot you don’t you don’t fire you don’t

Fire Mike brael yes so here’s the reason why that mulleted psycho is so happy right now we’re back because there’s a lot of conversations around New England what’s Bill bich gonna do is he gonna move on is he gonna stay there’s actually been momentum on both sides as

Of late Bill bich Stang has been the cono but I just watched a documentary series preview about the dynasty that sure feels like probably the end of Bill bich in New England potentially being announced on Apple now whatever the case Boston Connor’s pumped because VES who obviously has close connections with

That New England Patriots organization yeah yeah he does that close connections I think is an understatement he’s in the Ring of Honor he’s in the Hall of Fame up there and you right now are sixth midnight about the thought of oh a guy who gets New England Patriots football is potentially available not

Just a guy who gets New England Patriots football a guy who just if Bill we if Bill Le I mean this morning we are we are flying back and I am saying Bill stain it it’s done they met once Bill and Bob there’s a chance McDaniels is

Coming back bill is staying that that was the conversation around the Patriots yesterday I mean I’m happier than a pig and I I get Bill belich coming back I get Mike mother Vel who from Ohio that was good the the guy who you see who

This is right here you see who this guy this is Taw okay all pro Hall of Fame corner with the Foxboro police back Foxboro police right there but one of the best police forces in the goddamn country y hell yeah this is super I don’t know if you you know funny enough

Let me cop let me turn this around you see what that Score says back there wow no if that’s not I don’t oh no Dr the helmet oh you think that’s oh if that’s an omen hold on let me just let me just grab that shirt real quick who drafted

Mike that’s right there’s another organization that’s a bill B shirt so if anything you know the shirt falling maybe that’s the omen but back back to the back back to the back to the bobblehead which still bobbles uh 3229 right there against Carolina yeah okay you know who scored six of those points

Against Carolina who’s that uh the Ohio Folk Mike varbel so yeah I mean I hope this year was fun boys I hope this year and last year was fun I hope you enjoyed the league not being new englands I hope you enjoyed what it was like to see

Other teams go on and win Kansas City I hope you enjoyed your four-year Dynasty cuz it’s done baby Mike vel’s coming home he might wear okay so you’re out on Bill I’m not out on Bill Bill com he is coming home guess what there’s been a lot of talk about Bill

Relinquishing GM duties what if he goes full-time GM what if he says you know what vesin coach I have respect for it I love Mike Vel he’s been through the ringer he’s one of my guys I drafted him he packs dips sigs Jewels some probably

Some of luk L vipes if I had to guess I I mean this is I I’m not kidding I I came into today like this is going to be a good show it’s going to be slap happy it’s going to be fun just like last week

After the Rose Bowl this is this is a new level this this isn’t I them firing him that’s wild to me yeah get a chip on his shoulder get a chip come on get a chip on your shoulder Mike and come back home yeah it’s like I think everybody in

Football Feels Like Mike varel is a good coach wow uh yeah College in college everybody in Ohio right now state of Ohio is like what happened in coton B classic have we beat Michigan in a while oh they’re the national champions we’re just a little brother down here team

South Rael needs come coach oh Bucky yeah probably there’s people in Ohio saying that Ryan day we are fans of I’m just speaking about reality M just how this goes there’s going to be a lot of humans in a lot of cities that have football teams that are going to be like

Thank you Tennessee Titans for not only paying him yeah but also just giving him the opportunity to talk to any it’s not like a trade or it no go do whatever the hell you want for the next however long you want and tone Diggs is over there

Jacked up as well well to quote the great Lee Corso not so fast my friend okay if Mike tomlin’s thinking about stepping away which Glazer report blaz reported Chey said going around some NFL circles why not bring Vel home to where he started and he’s Bill cow

Reincarnated okay that’s who he is where he start listen this is two different do you see that one of these team is in the playoffs yeah ex right exactly Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs I would say I wouldn’t be saying if Glazer and jefty didn’t put ideas in my

Head that’s two towns right there true W that’s two towns talking about vble now they don’t know if either of those jobs are going to be available different situation yeah obviously Bill might stay we have no idea that might end up happening if it does who knows Tomlin

Might coach for another 100 years which we all assume but Jake Blazer and Tomlin are very tight they’re not how about like teer teer has a lot of money second wealthiest owner in all of sports he’s been waiting for an alpha I think to tell him to shut up and stop talking to

Me about football you just go worry about your own thing on Mondays Vel would seemingly be that particular character he’s going to be highly sought after dbut this is not Norm I this I did not expect this on this I didn’t expect the firing maybe partner ways mutually

Partner ways did not expect the firing because like you said we all know he’s a good football coach but we mentioned it I believe yesterday um when shefy was on the show when you know Andy Reid you know he was in Philly for a long time uh

Shimer he got fight sometimes you just need to turn the page you got a new quarterback will Levis you saw uh Derrik Henry kind of say his farewell to the team already moved on from Tanner Hill he got a fairly new GM in there so now

He’s going to get his head coach get you know fresh voice in there uh so I guess I understand it from that standpoint still surprised by the firing but he will be uh especially if if Harbaugh’s not available in NFL ranks I think you know vable will probably be in that top

Slot I mean everyone just needs a shut up okay what did you say that there’s a chance that maybe he wanted a GM guess what Mike coach excuse me come to New England you can hire your own GM we don’t care okay Bob Craft he were just

Sitting next to him I assume there’s a couple leanover like what do you think about coming home you know what do you think about hiring your own GM what do you think about hiring your own that’s tampering that’s crazy that would be that’s not tampering that’s that’s not tampering that’s not tampering that’s

Not that’s not tamping that’s not tampering that’s two friends just just chatting that’s not that’s not that’s not tampering certainly I think Tennessee is even saying you put that red jacket on in the middle of a season another oh well boohoo teny your poverty franchise sorry

Mike R yeah sorry about it you are okay you are you guys suck that’s the reality of the situation maybe in eight years when your Stadium’s finish the new one cuz the one that you playing now is a dump maybe then someone will want to go and Coach there and maybe then you’ll

Win and yeah sure Tennessee’s got their new quarterback in will Le I bet they do and I bet Tennessee feels that way as well but what do the Patriots have they have a top three pick in this draft hey and 100 what and uh let me uh 120 10 11

15 mil once C once c space gets kind of get gets gets changed and also uh once a few players who are currently in the building probably and end up believing doesn’t matter why are we even talking about the players right now we should only be talking about Mike Fel Coach B

If Bill Bel leaves if Bill Bel leaves but from what it seems like Mike Reese did report at this time feels like it’s a Hail Mary for Bill belich to be coming back to New England so book it book I I’m ordering my Mike Vel uh what what

Does he wear you know he wears that vet yeah he wears I’m going to order a Mike Vel no you you got to order two logs yeah exactly if you’re not if you’re not ripping sigs if you’re not ripping sigs by the end of the show are you even a

Vel F tick tick go get go get sigs right now tick tick is also a Patriots fan he will no that changes weekend yeah yeah he had a lot of he had a lot of tick moves th this weekend he pooped in a private plane first time he ever he’s

Ever rode in one of those he also funny enough fell asleep in a private plane like doesn’t matter that doesn’t matter dump in this place I’m going asleep here thanks for giving me a transportation yeah that doesn’t matter insulted a a Godfather of college football he did oh

I can see it yeah the king yeah exactly classic tick that that’s tick but it doesn’t matter nothing matters right now I feel so bad for you guys well listen we got chain Sten so we’re a okay oh yeah seemingly the Titans are now staring down an actual rebuild Stadium culture

Roster literally everything which is great news for us but then I’m reminded quickly CJ St is still the quarterback for Houston yeah not fun by the way after talking to him yesterday just popped in yeah Lally just popped by hey didn’t want you to be in our building

Without coming to say Hello both him and the pr guy it’s like thank you for that and then as he’s talking every word that’s coming out of his mouth I’m thinking oh no this is terrible new oh no don’t ever come on my show again I don’t want to hear anything you’re

Saying right now I’d like in my head to think that there’s a lot of flaws in you because you’re leading a team in the same division as the Indianapolis coach one in which I’ve invested he doesn’t have any even the clothes that he’s wearing MH he’s wearing his teammates

Clothes to put his teammates over whenever he’s coming to do a Popp in it’s like everything about him is perfect but the AFC South’s got Anthony Richardson well hopefully yeah hopefully for 17 games well we we have no idea if he’s going to make it through the season

I hope he does me too he had what four touchdowns in four games electric F he is a guy if he CJ Stout Trevor Lawrence what happened after he got hurt seemingly one and five down they fired a bunch of guys today not Doug put out a

Defensive yeah well Doug knows you know think we heard Bill coward talk Bill coward was like sometimes you just got to move on just to change people Doug Pearson saw the end of that I was like all we got to have a little bit Mojo split but now this cement Tennessee

Seemingly in the fourth spot of the AFC South looking ahead and like if Rael goes on to have success somewhere else else New England it’s going to be the same exact conversation about like when people move on from great quarterbacks it’s like why would you do that whenever

We are where we are and what the world’s going to look like but remember that Tennessee Titans organization did trade AJ Brown middle of the draft night whenever they just paid a quarterback who might not necessarily be the greatest quarterback in the NFL you take

Away his best weapon he goes on to have a historic year somewhere else so there’s been a lot of discourse in that Tennessee Titans organization hopefully the future will be better hopefully Vel will be coaching uh in a league that is not in the NFL uh but I’m very thankful

He is out of the AFC South we talked about quarterback’s changing spots and having great success Matthew Stafford leaves Detroit goes to Los Angeles after a vacation in Cabo in which he was sitting in a hot tub with Shawn McVey he goes to Los Angeles Rams after a

Lifetime in Detroit wins the Super Bowl is in commercials gets his Hall of Fame credibility basically cemented and then now Wildcard Weekend Wild Car weekend he heads back to the Detroit football Lions all foxy has been dreaming about his entire life as a Detroit Lions fan

Is to go 9 and seven which when there was 16 games and a playoff win y this year had their best year by far got screwed by the refs actually against the Dallas Cowboys when they try to add a little sugar and salt to the standard reporting ritual that players have to do

With the refs first time I’ve ever seen him win 12 games this year 12 games wow playoff game home playoff game favorite Eminem’s going to be on sideline first one in Ford Field history he’s doing the national anthem and you have to that would be awesome and Ninja is flossing

Next to him while he’s doing the national he’s doing this one yeah he’s doing this one this one here on the twitch like the Hat yeah ex wearing in there but then Matthew Stafford The Big Bad Wolf coming back home now if you start looking at his

Records and you add this pukan AA one for rookie yards he has them all yeah he has every record when it comes to throwing a football to somebody and catching it which is a massive part of the quarterback statistic the dude’s got a live arm he’s been playing a long time

Loves ball and boy I think whenever he lays his head down at night he’s thinking about going into Detroit and I don’t think there’s a lot of let’s give back to that City it’s a could you imagine if we walk in there oh in just

One last nope out of Detroit foxy I know you’ve had to think about it so much and you’ve taken a trip back in time a few different times with some videos there was a 9 minute video that was released whenever he left Detroit such a good video like great video talking about how

Much he loves Detroit and then obviously there’s highlights and highlights coming out of Stafford and things he said about Detroit he’s been nothing but classy but in that fourth quarter when it’s a close game oh boy oh yeah is Matthew Stafford going to do Matthew Stafford stuff in

Steal the joy out of Detroit a lot of us are are thinking no cuz it’s the brand new lions but boy there’s a lot of people out there hoping and praying that the Detroit Lions get Maddy staffed in the first round and that’s got to be conflicting for you and all the lions

Fans yeah no it’s absolutely brutal I can’t think of any other playoff matchup I wouldn’t want Matthew Stafford coming home and you know I’ve Loved this dude 12 years he gave his entire to this city and now we this is it like we went same

Old Lions to brand new lions and all we want to see is a playoff win one playoff win and like aside from all the story and stuff this matchup on paper sucks Stafford’s going to throw all over us our DBS our secondary have not been great I would say Lamar Jackson is the

Best quarterback we played all year absolutely torched us Stafford is by far the second best quarterback we’ll play this year it’s going to be tough yeah yeah um so I guess the Detroit Lions are trying to play little petty games oh how’s going on little same old Lions

Games is that what I’m seeing from a report what there was a Stafford Jersey ban put in place for the stadium kind love that did and then Kelly Stafford responded and she said well this is sad because it’s completely opposite of how we feel about this city but Matthew has

Always been the bigger person and will continue to be that praying for an incredible game with zero injuries thank you to the staffords for taking a high Ro that is awesome like the Lions fan group or something I think just looking at what are we doing this can’t be real love it

This cannot be real is they speak for all lions fans I think actually once again we are joking around yeah but I think mcdc was the one that said you tell you what man I don’t want to see one goddamn Matthew Stafford Jersey in here man not we’ll throw you in with the

Kindling if I see it all right get them out man didn’t do anything for us man do we have any Matthew Stafford jerseys in the building do we have have any of those do we know no truth be told there’s one on the way foxy I want you

On the right side of History what do you what’s going on D Stafford Jersey Rams yeah so that’s a win win that’s a Winn for you buddy no listen I already rooted for Matthew Stafford when he won the Super Bowl in his first year with

The Rams I said Lions we stink this year mcdc has got to build the culture I’ll be a Rams fan when we get to the playoffs and it was a good ride it was actually one of my favorite NFL rides of all time but now everything’s changed

And we’re this Lions team is going coming off a week of rest too oh let the arm let the arm rest SP it all year long Jersey ban huh yeah okay all I did for this place Jersey Revenge game all right okay and Kelly’s quote tweeting oh yeah

And she’s putting out she’s oh yeah we saw it Matthew has heard about it yeah bet yeah bet tweet coming is that a same old Lions play I mean there will be people wearing Stafford jerseys I dare also the security from Park Prospect or whatever down there in

Houston’s going to kick them out I know we’re tough and gritty City the toughest and grittiest city in America but we are a classy City so I’m sure everyone quick standing as he walks out if you guys if you guys are the classiest city while also being the toughest and the

Grittiest congratulations cuz every tough gritty City that I’ve seen nowhere near the class is n you guys must be have the most range I think that’s pretty phenomenal yeah it’s just like when Vinnie would go back to the Patriots you know you quick clap and

Then it’s game time we go well I don’t think that’s exactly how went that’s what I was told they said some Terrible Things yeah and he won them some games a lot of he won some Super Bowls big ones our two on the other side with Aaron

Program is a collection of stents talking about happening in the sports world it is made to be comedic informative the opinions expressed on this show do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of their peers their boss or ESPN there may be some cuss words because that’s how Cubans is the real

World talk if you are a young please seek permission before watching any further hey let’s go this show stinks in the fact that you listen we are very very thankful for the all-time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers you pink 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 back to our humble AB Bo the thunder on this Aaron Rogers Tuesday January 9th 2024 hour two of this program starts now happened last night we have a new National Champion it’s the Michigan

Wolverines congratulations to them we’re very lucky to be there football is also breaking news in the NFL as a coach has been fired from the Tennessee Titans by the name of Mike Vel I did try to FaceTime him during a commercial break he didn’t answer but I was

Trying to do some journalism I got nothing in response we will keep our ear to the ground on the situation there’s a much happier and Jo toxic table uh Boston Conor you’ve been flying around on Cloud9 since hearing that the Tennessee Titans have fired Mike Vel yeah I was just singing that

Song this going to be the best day of my life I hate that song but that’s all that’s all it’s going through my head right now because that’s how that that’s genuinely how I feel right now I cannot believe that the Tennessee Titans just imposed a 50-year curse on their own

Franchise who what what idiots what what are we doing Tennessee just just so foolish but again hey hey uh that’s up to them new it’s all balls in New England’s court now and Ian raport has already tweeted obviously obviously obviously keep an eye on New England so again look look I feel bad

That you guys aren’t having as great of a day I’m having a great time okay good I’m having a great time I’m this is the happiest I’ve been in what about Bill yeah just throwing this guy to the garbage look I the at a certain at a

Certain point you just have to kind of listen to what people are saying and sure I’ve said in the no at the time what are we talking about here you know what are we talking about Tommy you know but maybe he did maybe he did know something now they’re saying hail

Mary bring Bill back that that per Mike Reese I mean sometimes look I would love for him to stay I still feel that way but but I have to come to grips with the reality that that’s just not possible but the other reality that is now joined

That is that Mike Vel is the head coach of the New England patri do you think all of New England feels the same way you do right now uh so I checked the pulse I checked the pulse uh during the break kind of split uh which is weird

Because a lot of the people that are now saying they want to keep bill they were they were running them out of the building after week three and so so I’m going you’re a Fickle Bunch huh yeah exactly I’m one those people saying okay

Okay I see I see where you are now they saw the dynasty you know trailer and got all Ty ey nostalgic and now oh please don’t leave Bill they weren’t saying that and and now that vel’s here keep Bill keep Bill keep shut up okay look that’s not going to happen unfortunately

And Mike vel’s coming home one half of the hammer Cowboys T digs is here you were trying to push him to go to the Steelers especially with Glazer who is friends with Tomlin reporting that Tomlin might step away for a little bit Yeah Titans are just Pawns in this

Entire game I don’t know who is the king at the top here whether it is craft and the Patriots or it could be the roonies and Steelers cuz they know that Tom is walking away he’s already told them that or something like that but they one of

These franchises called Vel and said hey walk into the owner’s office tell them to S your D and F off until they fire you and then we’re going to hire you bring you in make you the highest paid head coach Bing Bang Boom Titans just got played so I don’t think that’s we

Don’t know if that’s once again we do not know if that is Sound Logic potentially allegedly that that took place none of us were expect him to be fired n year vet Darius J Butler everybody has immense respect for Vel and you’re hear this guy who’s

Been on Bill’s side this entire time not be like oh they’re saying he’s gone all right if he is then we got to get the next best exactly and he moved on to zip on the ball zappy uh Jared stum Cam Newton M Jones I mean he is a loyal to

The Patriots guyp Vel going back there would be a great story but who knows there’s going to be other opportunities shefer texted me during the break he said that six would make seven if B check leaves in the coaching spots so that’s chefer saying H I was right

Remember you see remember joining us now college football national champion Super Bowl champion Amanda flew back to India with us this morning then hopped in a car and drove drove over to Columbus AJ Hawk a AJ Ohio State Buckeye Legend Ohio Legend AA is one of the toughest humans

Of all time and a great football coach in everybody’s mind is getting a fresh start somewhere else after being fired today surprising to all of us AJ surprising to all of us yeah surprising but I think when you talk to anybody wasn’t uh the GM had come in last year

Like the GM did not hire VES who’s there and whenever things happen like that yeah sometimes it just uh they flip and I guess you got to bring your own guy in not only did he not hire VES chefer said yesterday and I don’t know if we knew

This or not no VES was not in on this particular GM there’s another GM that VES campaigned for seemingly is what Chey said so that was a shot clock seemingly since the beginning like you’re either going to win win or we’re potentially going to you better win a

Lot of games if you’re the head coach and that’s the situation you better win a lot of games if you openly go nah and then they bring him in go ah great to see you man I did want you’re number two love you R you’re number two for

Sure the other guy so now that vel’s on the road there’s a lot of teams that are going to be interested they obviously New England Pittsburgh people if Tomlin bounces out if Bill ends up gone to New England Tepper has a lot of money would

Vel not be the perfect guy to go down there and just say Hey listen drink throwing billionaire old man just get the hell out of my way maybe and that’s maybe what they need down there there’s going to be other jobs that are going to be open V’s going to be everywhere uh

That is not what we are talking about right now though no no no no no no ladies and gentlemen for Four Seasons Four Four Seasons now yeah we’ve had the incredible opportunity to have a conversation with this man every single Tuesday of the Season yeah the first two years we did this back-to-back

MVPs those happen to be during the co years where there’s a lot of other stuff happening as well due to this guy’s decisions on whether or not taking a uh a vaccine yeah had a clever immunized joke at a press conference fantastic kind of snuck one you know through the

Five hole there got then that came back later it got real loud all over the world quickly then there was obviously the Green Bay Packer transition era that happened what I’ve learned is everything this guy does is monitored watched loved or hated yes last week got real loud it did mhm

Last night there was a seven-minute rebuttal yeah from the person who we can understand why he was completely upset ladies and gentlemen four-time NFL MVP friend of the program host of Aaron Rogers Tuesday ladies and gentlemen Super Bowl champion first ballot Hall of Famer Aaron Rogers how you doing pal Aaron Rogers

Tuesdays have certainly caused some conversation haven’t they Aon yeah yes conversation controversy uh debate sometimes book club book club yeah a lot of a lot of interesting things have come from this show well lot of people that uh love the show a lot of people love the show a lot

Of people that uh want to censor the show whoa at least my segments I’ve heard a lot I heard I’ve heard a lot about that there’s been a lot of articles about calling me Reckless and now this goes back to co by the way I was being called a murderer alongside of

You because I was allowing Aaron Rogers first ballot Hall of Famer the current MVP of the NFL I was allowing you on my platform you know don’t even let him on your plat you don’t think Aaron Rogers has a platform okay got it okay so I was

Letting you on my platform and it was injuring people and scaring people and potentially killing people that was during Co I was getting murdered in different languages K I mean it was it was a wild time as were you obviously but I just got a chance to kind of experience it that

Whole conversation came back up now once again over the last week you’ve obviously seen it all heard it all uh you said yesterday at your press conference with the New York Jets where you said I will be addressing that tomorrow Jimmy Kimmel obviously had a 7

Minute and 32 second uh die tribe last evening to start the show kind of explaining his side of the entire thing lot of people said they were expect more jokes in there yeah little a little more jokes seemed like it was a little bit more of like he was super bomed do just

Kind of wanted to get it out there uh Aaron I think this is the perfect time for you to kind of address your side of this you’ve been threaten to be sued you’ve obviously been talked about by a lot of people yet again and I’m sure you

Have thoughts on it the mustache looks great uh go ahead and take it away pal and I want to let you know I will check you okay damn right I will check you okay on anything you say that I know isn’t true now there’s going to be a lot

Of stuff you say that I’m on her just let me know if I’m not if I should check please with what you’re talking you have more research than me anyways Aaron Rogers ladies and gentlemen well the yeah the research that’s a whole another story I mean why would you do any

Research on anything ever looking anything listen I think we should just get into it though just so we can have the uh the woke establishment who’s just tuned in for uh you know this this part let’s just get this uh out of the way first then they can move on with the

Rest of the day and we can all move past this um it’s been an interesting week for sure very interesting week a lot of uh things have been said a lot of people have been taking shots of me without mentioning the VAC status first which I thought we established with Ryan

Fitzpatrick that was how we’re going to do things moving forward we haven’t done that obviously so Nick right did Nick right did I heard Nick right yeah listen Jokes Aside I’d really like to get into this and then just let’s just move on so the history

Of this before I get into to what I said what I actually said and how I feel about uh all that the history of this whatever this is between Jimmy and I this goes back to covid times right and in covid times he mentioned on his show

Uh jokes about my uh immunization which I know you you also made a little joke about it um you know I’m not going to get into that whole thing that’s I’ve talked many times about that but made a joke about that uh you know uh and the

Fact that you know my own research he didn’t just stop there though you know he he he made a lot of other comments about uh unvaccinated people uh mentioning that they don’t deserve treatment uh if they’re at a hospital uh they shouldn’t be given a hospital bed uh he made comments about

Uh repurpose drugs that were being used all over the world that have incredible safety profiles um that uh that were derogatory uh he uh you know mentioned Ivor mechon being horse space and pushed that whole narrative for a long time he gave a platform to one of the biggest uh

Spreaders of misinformation during the covid times Dr fouchy um so in my opinion jeez you know he RI me about RI me about the vax and and that turns out to be an L on on many occasions because the vax was not safe and effective like we were told that it

Was in the beginning uh there are a lot of injuries now that we’ve seen related to the vaccine so in my opinion you went after me that’s fine you’re a comedian go for it not offended but that was an lell fast forward to uh again unprompted we’re talking on

Our show as we do about a lot of different topics somehow the Epstein client lifts comes up and I said it’s interesting and they were for a long time even still there hasn’t been a list that’s been released there’s been one person’s uh you know uh deposition from

A 2015 case right but we said there is there’s an excitement to expose corruption and what I joked by the other day about popping a bottle there’s excitement about when the corruption anywhere gets exposed and people who are accused of these heinous crimes get exposed that will be nice that we can

Get this all out in the open that’s not there so I made this comment on the show whenever that was last year right I believe and unprompted he comes out and says that I’m an overly concussed wacko in my opinion it seemed like because I believe that there was a list and that

There were names on that right so you know then we we fast forward to this last week right and I said that a lot of people and I’m quoting myself a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping that doesn’t come out end quote that’s what I said that’s the

Entire quote okay I was referring to the fact that if there is a list which again this hasn’t come out yet this was just a deposition right and there are names on it then that would be the second time that a soft brain junior college student you know wow o

Antix anti-semite purveyor spreader of misinformation conspiracy theorist Maga whatever other things have been said by him and other people in the media would be right twice now let me just say that that that is the truth number one number two I totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia

Would be so for him to be upset about that I get it did you watch the quote because that’s exactly what I said Verbatim what I said on the show okay I’m not stupid enough even though you think I’m an idiot and you made a lot of comments about my

Intelligence but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence uh concrete evidence that’s ridiculous so I’m glad and I think we can agree on something is that uh one those crimes are heinous and two I’m I’m glad you’re on the list because

Those those who are on the list and this is what I think we can agree on that at minimum there should be an inquiry into uh their involvement especially if they went to the island and at maximum there should be um an investigation into it so I hope that you’ll give the same

Type of energy to these heinous crimes when they do come out and the names do come out and and there is an inquiry into it that you gave to uh other subjects that I actually mentioned uh that you spent a lot of time working on

So I’d like to put this uh to bed to move forward I don’t understand to just finish this up you know I do understand um I don’t I but I don’t understand a Mike Voss comment um because he didn’t help out either and I’m going to quote Mike Foss

He said Aaron made a dumb and factually incorrect joke about Jimmy Kimmel it should never have happened we all realized that in the moment Mike you’re not helping you’re not helping because I just read earlier exactly what I said so and this is this is the game plan of the

Media and this is what they do they try and cancel you know and it’s not just me it’s it’s no one near just me I mean if you look at all the different people who’ve been uh censored from the internet during especially during covid um the cancelling that went on the

Censorship using the government to try and censor people that happened um and if that doesn’t work then they go to name call and I mentioned a lot of the the names that I’ve been called and they don’t stick because I’m not antix I’m interested in informed consent and

Things that are in the best interest of my body uh I’m not a MAA I’ve never had any affiliation with anybody associated with that movement right which is okay if you are though like there’s different opinions all over the place right if you’re if you’re that’s your ideology

That’s fine I’m not a super political person okay do whatever you want uh conspiracy theorist that’s fine because if you look at the track record of conspiracy theorist in the last few years they’ve been right about a lot of things so I don’t care about that one

Anti-semite that was called I mean that that’s just like this is their game plan they use these words to cancel people and they went and ran with this because it’s the crazy antivaxer wacko again talking about you know accusing somebody of being a pedophile like of course this

Is the game plan that they use in correct but um that’s the that’s the the environment that we’re in you know you know we’re there’s u a lot of people who have been captured by various you know entities government entities whether we’re talking about pharmaceutical industrial complex or whether it’s

Talking about believing that the government has a b interest in mind and we’re puppeting um you know various narratives in the end if you are not someone whose opinion aligns with the mainstream narrative this is what they’re going to do with you and it’s not me I’m not a

Victim I don’t give a say whatever the hell you want about me that’s fine like the people that know me and love me you know what I’m all about my teammates know what I’m all about um most inspir teamate by the way congratulations W an award in the middle

Of this whole thing from your teammates Brion obviously people puked because of that yeah yeah saw guy cry listen saw a guy cry because you were name the most inspiration teamm should we say that was not like Joy tears of joy I I still in the end sum this up listen I still

Haven’t popped a bottle because there hasn’t been any list that’s come out um and I’m glad that that Jimmy uh is not on the list I really am and and uh I don’t think uh he’s the p word um and you know I think it’s impressive

That a man who went to uh Arizona State and has 10 uh joke writers can read off a prompter so you know my education at Joo and my three semesters at Cal that I’m very proud of uh has worked out for me and I’m glad to see it’s worked out

For him as well so I wish him the best again I I don’t give a what he says about me um but as long as he understands what I actually said and uh that I’m not accusing him of uh being uh being on a list then I’m all for moving

Forward all right thank you for your time there thank you for addressing it hell yeah there’s a few things that I’m going to have to uh check you on in there okay as you going through as you’re going through there I was making a checklist for the CNBC folks you know

The whole the whole crew you said that uh Anthony fi was the biggest SP of misinformation I remember he was thrown out opening pitches terribly worst of all time you know and he was the guy he was the one giving the information and then he said that’s proven to be wrong I

Assume you’re referring to some studies or something that you have found and obviously you’ve invested a lot of time in because you’ve been called a murderer a killer for not getting the vaccine I assume you’ve paid close attention if you would like to expand upon that particular statement that you made early

In your response there uh I think that’ be good for all part wants me I don’t know if to yeah this what I’m supposed to right and I supposed to yes this is journalism let me indulge let me indulge you first of all there are dozens of

Studies that talk about uh that have done by reputable uh uh places that have been published in reputable journals um that talk about a variety of different subjects including the efficacy of masking uh efficacy of lockdowns efficacy of a number of different medicines uh uh repurpose medicines uh antiviral antimalaria medicines stuff

That was used all over the world um in order for the vaccines to get emergency authorization Emery use authorization right the eua um this is what people don’t understand it had to be that there were zero early treatments that worked against covid right so what did Dr fouchy say there

Was nothing there was nothing they could do all they did this is this is this is the protocol protocol somebody gets sick right send them home till they got really horrible horrible uh symptoms and then bring them back and put them on rim Des air which is $3,000 per dose and a

Ventilator and the statistics are staggering about people who went especially on ventilators especially the the elderly and it’s it’s devastating and and extremely sad I remember I remember those times people weren’t allowed to go into the hospital and see their family right I mean I was at the

The very and I know it’s I know it’s crazy and this is maybe an old way of doing things but uh I enjoy reading and when I’m reading something I’m not I may be delivering a message but I’m not delivering as my own I didn’t come up

With any of these facts you know I didn’t I wasn’t in the weeds I’m not a epidemiologist a vir virologist I’m not any of those things I’m just someone who’s interested in certain topics I like to read and then I take other people’s ideas and opinions and contemplate them and think about whether

They’re true or not what feels true to me and then I’ll make my own beliefs off of that I know it’s a weird way of thinking and the the idea of even like doing your own research was vilified for a while which is crazy but I enjoy

Reading I I I read studies about this I’ve read books I think Robert F Kennedy Jr’s book about fouchy is incred incedible it’s also uh doesn’t paint him in the right light I haven’t seen Dr fouchy file a lawsuit yet I I know RFK Jr personally I know he researched and

Made sure that uh you know his comments and studies were uh peer-reviewed by a number of different people so you don’t get sued um but it doesn’t paint them in the best light and yes I believe that he had a financial incentive to not push icin and hcq and monoclonal antibodies

And zinc and vitamin d and vitamin C all stuff that was used all over the world I’m talking about in Japan in Brazil in Mexico in UD prades in India a state that has 230 million people and at one point had less than like 10 covid cases active when we were having thousands

Every single day like look at Africa the continent of Africa had very low numbers and many people think that Africa there’s parts of their very third world right but what do they do every single most of them the part of their routine is to take antimalaria drugs and when you get in a

Pandemic this is again all I’ve read I’m not a biologist I I’m not a doctor right in the sense but I I am interested and I’ve read these things and they take a lot of anti-al malaria drugs over there because malaria is a problem in Africa and anti-malaria drugs repurposed in the

Repurposed nature of them have been seen to stop V replication and actually do well against Co but if that were the case then these billion doll vaccines one of which in particular Dr fouchi had a significant financial stake in wouldn’t have been cleared for eua and

They would have been able to be pushed out they would to go through the normal process of vaccines which is multi-year studies okay of advocacy of to develop a safety profile that didn’t happen so that’s my problem I don’t know why more people aren’t upset with that everybody

Who lost people to covid uh everybody who dealt with the Draconian uh measures and and then that’s my last point then I just want to move on but it’s like people are always like people are always like you know why are you still talking about covid like why don’t you

Just move on it’s ridiculous I’m like well let’s see what happened um they locked everybody up forever uh was supposed to be a couple couple weeks right they locked everybody up hundreds of thousands of businesses closed and never opened again many of dozens of people that I know in their

30s you know who poured everything into these these uh small businesses and restaurants and bars and and and never opened again so they lost everything they they’re out on their ass right the Gap the wealth Gap got even bigger from the halves and have knots they lied to

Us over and over they uh vilified early treatments they censored legitimate uh uh doctors in the space like Dr Peter McCulla like Pier Cory Dr Cory like Dr Robert Malone who allegedly was there in the beginning of the MRNA technology and so many more people than that uh the

Alex Baron of the world the Weinstein of the world who were like writing about this talking about this um BR Weinstein okay yeah I say I knew I was about to check you and had an informed and had an informed opinion about this I mean they were arresting people

Who were surfing in California they closed the beaches when I mean I don’t know what percentage but probably 60% or more of the of the of the country is vitamin D deficient and you know vitamin D you know does well against the common cold as does vitamin C as does zinc as

Does the number of home remedies that we all have but no stay inside wait for this vaccine right which is 100% safe and effective which they told us so my whole point is listen they lied to us uh many times over they uh locked us up they uh closed our businesses they

Increased the mental health issues exponentially the uh the rates of suicide went way up and and they’re just like they vilified us the the Draconian things that uh you know ridiculous shut down you know we lost billions of dollars not there’s no there’s no NL owners who are mad about

This now that we look back and go oh well maybe we could have stopped this with a little like early treatments or like not given REM dese and you know ventilator to these patients maybe like uh you know treated like the common cold where you you know you have symptoms and

You start doing something about it you treat it um and I have a problem with I have a problem with that because now people just like just move on just just just rush on the rug it’s like well I had many apologies not by that guy in

ABC and not by you know any of these people who are still you know I mean the LA County we just put uh Mas mandates back in oh buddy I mean how many how many how many Studies have we seen now from all over the world that show the

Lack of efficacy of masks hey real quick what are we talking about real quick your usage of efficacy today has really showcased your intelligence I want to let you know that you’ve used it in a phenomenal fashion I assume you did it because you have become the Paragon of

Conspiracy theories from all these people and I feel like you know my my intelligence has been has been attacked and I might need to grab my you know my uh my transcript uh that I used to get into junior college you know well you had two A’s on that your name Aon I

Thought that was pretty clever actually I will say and I did check you there uh which obviously seems like you have a little bit more research than maybe any other human that exists outside of the potential doctors that you’re there there’s there’s way more way more people

Are well read and I read their stuff but one of my favorite things one of my favorite things and I’ll end with this and I I promise I don’t want no no there’s one more thing I have to okay well then let me get this in like people

Are always like you’re not a doctor you’re not a virologist you’re not an epidemiologist I’m like I’m not but you know what all those people would say natural infection and Recovery gives you way more robust long lasting lasting sometimes for Life immune response than any vaccine will ever give you all right

Well I appreciate the bars there at the end from the virologists and the doctors I thought you were going to say neither are you the people that are telling you that you’re wrong that’s always a fun little give and take and I assume there’s going to be a lot of reaction to

What you just said there drop the word Draconian in there a few times that felt like it was big I assume people were going to respond to that honestly fact check it I’m fine let’s have a debate you want to have a debate about it awesome not on this show but like let’s

Have a conversation there should be more conversations why are we just moving on from all this stuff when like can we look back now and and learn from this so the next time there’s a situation like this we can go okay maybe there’s early treatments at work maybe we don’t just

Run a vaccine through that isn’t safe and effective and then how many boosters I just saw they’re encouraging the elderly to get an eighth booster like Howard Stern got Co too Howard Stern got it didn’t it didn’t stop transmission at all it didn’t stop you from getting

Covid like all right well I appreciate your stance especially because back check me one more time and then let’s then let’s move on all right sounds good then we got football to talk about because there’s a lot of things happened Vel just got fired was pump that we just

Brought that up in the middle of this conversation but like uh the way the reason why you feel the way you feel is because everything that you’ve been through through this entire thing you were chastised pretty heavily which I assume made you invest a lot more time

In it to kind of not only clear your name but feel a little bit sense of self uh whenever everybody was telling you the worst human on earth and there’s going to be people that disagree with you and I think this conversation and this show is actually great go ahead I

Was vilified my my I my character was attacked my reputation was attacked my sponsors were attacked I had I received death threats so yeah I mean this why does it mean a lot to me because I went through that and and uh and survived the winter of death so continue well

Congratulations AJ is also a CO Survivor on the other side of the screen there which we are incredibly proud of him I believe I survived a few times as well uh when it comes to Jimmy Kimmel and you read your quote and I think in the moment I even explained like hey Jimmy

Did this did that it immediately got taken by everybody seemingly and now once again you are a human that goes off the grid in 2024 I don’t think a lot of people really understand that you actually went into a dark hole for 4 days I mean that is something that

Happens he does just read books and he’s impossible to get a hold of you can ask some people so the way that whole thing went with you saying like Jimmy Kimmo doesn’t want to see that list and I think people that maybe have watched the show a lot recalled the moment between

You and kiml whenever he said like okay buddy and then you saying you want to see it was insinuated though that you called him a pedophile by everybody quickly so I think think you could and you’ve acknowledged this like Jimmy Kimmel has been called a pedophile I

Think by a lot of people because his name has been on one of those lists on the internet for a long time so I think you stoking the flame a little bit there made the entire world continue to turn up on him I think that’s why he got so

Bummed out by it all and that sucks and and I condemn that 100% like that’s ridiculous like any type of name calling that’s ridiculous and I’m not calling him one and neither should you so it’s not backing me up or making me feel good if you’re doing that let me make that

Crystal clear I don’t take any you know excitement or joy out of anybody doing that so so don’t do that in my name don’t do that at all like those are serious accusations meant for people who are on the list and again there was some names that came out

Recently from a deposition from 2005 but there’s still flight logs there still a lot of other things that are going to come out and this corruption goes deep I believe and most people that probably looked at it believe that it goes deep but I’m not calling him one no one

Should don’t do it in my name name like that’s not cool I’m not about that and uh and I have no you know no love for anybody doing any of that all right Jimmy come on get in here team on me come on Aaron oh here we go hey we’re moving on

I do believe Aaron that everything you do in your mind you feel is has the best intentions from your truth and from what you’ve experienced and from your research every once in a while when we’re in here talking some things can be taken sideways out of context start narratives

And stories that none of us necessarily love or believe in thank you for clearing it up and Jimmy hey man pumped that you’re not on that list yeah pumped about it because obviously we’ve all been Jimmy Kimmel fans since way back way back team on three one two three team

You’re not a fan of them you like the white about say yeah that’s the problem that’s the problem you were talking in the Huddle there you know the I didn’t on the outside I was there guy sorry yeah we heard you sorry but why don’t you like it uh anyways let’s move along

I’m excited to hear if this is over now and uh we move along cuz it was on today’s show this morning M nice like uh today’s show was like Aaron’s going to answer this afternoon stay tuned like all right great to be a part of this those people actually watched the clip

And how many how many people just saw a headline really I don’t think Mike F watched the Clip I I don’t know who that is I don’t I don’t work for you Mike I think you told I think I I don’t know if maybe did you not like Aaron which part of it did you not enjoy AJ AJ made a dumb and factually incorrect

Joke you thought it was a pretty smart good one I mean I feel like I made a statement uh about you know not wanting to be on a you know list to come out but it was a call back call back you thought to February we all realized that

In the moment what did you what are you talking about it’s just let’s move on man come on all right we would like to let you know excited for you to meet Foss in person someday so pumped Foss right now is sitting on an airplane watching this just oh my took all

Clothes off oh my god oh he’s sweating I assume yeah he you wait till you be F this will I’ll make a lot more sense what you be Foss I think but uh I’m happy we’re moving on let’s talk about sports now Aaron this past weekend New England Patriots obviously in the middle

Of a snowstorm you’re playing there a lot of the pictures that come out from that game and the conversation is obviously just bill bich last time coaching the New England Patriots had a sweet ski mask on so cool only saw eyes saw the hoodie up over top there was

Photos that were taking place of you guys chatting before the game started for like 20 minutes and after the game he beines to who Aaron Rogers hug Embrace and then he goes right to the locker room you had the other way now the whole world is wondering what’s

Going to take place in New England obviously there’s been mixed reports now vel’s been fired from the Tennessee Titans Connor’s celebrating him coming back to New England if Bill was to leave what were you guys chatting about and how long have you and Bill kind of been close en Tien this entire

Thing I think I first met bill at uh the Pebble Beach pram uh over a decade ago probably in the it was either 2010 or 11 and I always had great respect for him uh and he said some really nice things that day I didn’t honestly think

He knew much about me but um and then didn’t get to play him in 2010 um played him in 2014 uh had some you know a nice moment after the game with him and same thing in 18 and22 we always kind of found each other at some point so I was bummed out

Not to be playing uh bummed out you know that this could be the last time uh he’s in New England but none of that came up we actually talked about a Snow Game in uh uh 2019 in at MetLife when the Packers played the Giants

Um and you know I just think it’d be so fun to have a glass of scotch with Bill and talk ball because his uh knowledge of the game his uh ability to recall things you know he was recalling these two specific plays that we had from the

Game and obviously I can I can do that I made those plays but Bill was on the sidelines and he’s you know talking about these plays he saw on film and different things and um I don’t know I just I love his knowledge of the game I

Have a ton of respect for him um I don’t think he’s done I don’t know if he’s going to you know move on or the third time is done there in in uh New England but I think the NFL is better with him in it and uh I’m thankful for all the

Little moments I’ve got to share with Bill over the years and and just tell him you know how much I respect him and uh and believe what a great impact he’s made on the game how come everybody that plays football is around football feels the same way about Bill belich and then

You hear like some median fans members say the complete opposite like why do you think football people and it’s kind of similar with you like basically every player not just in the NFL but most professional athletes are like yes Baron Rogers is the guy so like your perception Maybe by some media members

And by some fans is normally vastly different from every professional athlete and every football player why do you think the same thing is for bill bich because I’ll say for me for how long he was dominant and how much he’s committed to the game it’s impossible

Not to respect that but you as a guy first ballot Hall of Famer why does everybody like it that’s in your level feel the same way about Bill bich I think because you realize how difficult it is to have sustained success in a league and that if anybody’s ever played against him

Especially on the offens side of the ball you know what uh a great strategist he is and how you know we were talking about the 2014 game right pregame and we were laughing because their strategy was so incredible I never kind of seen a defense be able to do that and adjust

Where you put your number one corner on a number one receiver put your number two Corner in a safety or sorry sorry you put your number two Corner in the safety on on our number one you put your number two uh on uh your number one

Corner on our number two and then you put your number three on a number three right and then he’s like man this guy from Fresno State has this crazy Breakout game just his recall that was you know nine and a half years ago nine and 3/4 years ago he’s talking about

What Damonte Adams was doing and the plays that he caught and the fact that they adjust and different things and I’d never seen a guy be able to do that but you know once you play a long time in this league that these games are one between Monday and Saturday right Sunday

Is just the icing on the cake that’s the time you play and go execute what you’ve been working on but but true the true Masters can win Monday to Saturday and and he’s one of those guys who he’s found little advantages uh over the years that have uh uh he’s been able to

Utilize he can adjust on the Fly he can adjust in the first Quarters at halftime third quarter and uh he’s just a he’s been a savant ahead of the ahead of the game for so long that uh I think everybody who’s played a long time just has a ton of respectful

Everybody that plays for him too says his personality is fantastic doesn’t get talked about as much because of what he does to the press conferences and the media and then he comes on game day and he puts a helmet on so it was like I love this guy how many games he away

From breaking the alltime record uh 15 wins away so they’re saying he’s going to go get that obviously will it be with New England we shall see you brought up a big a good point there about Fresno State a legend ton has a question for

You yeah and you brought up Devonte uh I saw this week Garrett Wilson is switching from 17 to his college number of five a lot of people are speculating that’s because Devonte is coming to the Jets can you confirm that oh we’re gonna check you too if

You’re wrong breaking I can confirm you dropped that microphone last night and tried to play it off swing I got cocky I will say though you you I you really Tred to play it off cool and you would have got there if it hadn’t been for one of your cohorts

There whoa Dro myo he was so excited I I was not excited I was shook to my core I didn’t think that that was even a possibility that’s our thing tone yeah it is we were practicing walking up the sideline mistakes happen am I human or

Am I not well we don’t know well let’s not bring that up yeah we’ve already done not don’t get into it we don’t need to hear it I don’t have enough information at this point um but the Devonte Adams conversation to the Jets is obviously a big one since you got

There but now Devonte Adams has become one of the pillars of the Raiders alongside Max Crosby and what they have cooking with Antonio Pierce so we assume will remain the entire role with what the team was last year and what we got to witness the team be without you there

They assumed people are going to the Jets are going to make moves to kind of up that team if we do want to go all in Devon’s name is always floated I assume that you’ve always just been like if you guys could get Devonte I would love to

Have Devonte but how much of those conversations are actually taking place uh especially around now none right now absolutely none um there’s a lot of time I think first part is to like let the emotion get out of it and get away everybody involved from Woody and

Christopher to to Joe to Robert to all the players you know just kind of like let the emotion out of it uh you know and and uh get away from it but yeah obviously creating a championship team is is uh is the goal for Joe and

Obviously that’s what he wants and um me coming back is obviously a big part of that but you need you need to players around you Devonte is a fantastic player he also plays for the Raiders so it’s not a lot I can say there other than

He’s a deer dear friend and homie and uh if I do end up making out to Vegas I want to see that golf game because he’s been working hard and I think that’s one of the things he loves about being in Vegas besides uh AP and Max and some of

The guys he really likes over there um Josh Jacobs uh he loves the fact he can play golf whenever he wants and that dude is obsessive about it and he didn’t embarrass himself at Tahoe and now he wants he wants top 50 so um hopefully I

Can get out there and and see him love me some uh love me S Devon uh chub’s been talking about going to five the entire time so uh it’s a nice uh coincidence and as much as I believe there’s not many coincidences in life um this one at this point is merely what

That mean coincidence what do you mean what do you mean no coincidence someone’s controlling you what you’re being controlled right Matrix Sim fouchy is that what’s happening no I’m I’m not being controlled obviously which doesn’t doesn’t make a lot of people happy Poss well it does make some conversations

Interesting for sure you ever get exhausted you ever get tired fighting all these fights I don’t feel like I’m I mean I don’t feel like I’m fighting these fights I think it’s the same it’s just it’s a it’s a Playbook right and the Playbook is here we go thanks AJ censor

Silence name call and it’s the same people if you look at the whether the their profile on X or just uh their you know Social Media stuff it’s uh it’s the same type of person right that probably has been jabbed multiple times might be wearing a mask while they’re driving um

I will say there’s a lot of bums out there a lot of bums yep a lot of bums this is about the time last week too just want work kind to you know we’re in here just kind of De make it their mission they make it their mission to uh

To try and take me down but hadn’t worked yet I don’t like I don’t lose sleep over this I’m not like up at night like thinking like oh what am I gonna what am I gonna do like these people don’t like me like I wouldn’t ask these people for advice so I don’t

Really care what they think about me um I’m not uh not trying to make friends they showed most of them showed their true colors during Co um by turn on me slandering me um all those different things they did haven’t seen any retraction any apology as the vaccines get less and less

Effective on blah blah blah blah blah I’ve talked about all this over and over and over yeah thank you AJ but uh you know this is H this is the the media many of them are just a blip on the radar of the history of the NFL

They probably intally know that and know that uh there’s not much that they say or do that’s ever going to matter when they write the history of of the NFL and unless they say something you know inflammatory about me nobody’s really watching their shows anyway so and

That’s the other part of is the people are insanely jealous of this show um because you guys have changed the way that they do they do media and that’s why there’s the norbi of the world and the slanderers of the world um who well and this is me talking this is yeah we

Know nobody nobody wants to be nobody’s clamoring to be on those other shows it’s just the truth nobody clamoring to be on the other shows you know the other shows don’t have they can’t go first batt Hall of Famer first batt Hall of Famer greatest coach greatest college

Coach of all time in on back to back to back days they just can’t you know they’re celebrating where they can get somebody who goes on one of those shows to like pitch something uh you know they’re that they’re working on this show gets the best of the best and it

Does a different way with positivity not just one person attacking one side and one person attacking the other side let’s go back and forth and say some the craziest and and listen I respect the opinions of of actually some of those people on some of those shows uh

You know two of those people who are on your network actually kind of respect you know some of the stuff they do and there was a recent interview that kind of reinforced that as well but this is the new this is the new way a lot of

People are trying to do it and obviously they’re jealous of it the old the old the old guard is uh not having it so they want to slander you because you’re giving me this dangerous spreader of misinformation a platform on your show um so I hope you guys don’t take it

Personally I hope the upper UPS know that this is uh that people actually like like have a little more affinity for ESPN now because the Pat McAfee show is on and because of you boys and everybody that works on the show because uh if it’s gone we’re all gone

Well the people who are over here watching this show they’re gonna be watching it back on three three you snuck a couple through earlier Fouch is going to apologize all right AJ AJ a thank you for your kind words all right I don’t think so don’t hold your

Breath I remember that used to be a thing to find out if you had covered or not remember hold your breath oh yeah time seconds fny you say that that’s good hey it’s good check good research right there Ain thank you for everything you said and I assumed at some point

You’re were going to feel obligated to go to bat for us because that’s literally how you did I don’t feel obligated it’s it’s the opportunity it’s an opportunity uh because obviously I know you guys personally and been on the show for a number of years now uh part

Of that was uh Co MVP years which I’m thankful for the platform to to do this because we had some crazy conversations obviously we had a ton of people when I uh you know made my decision that top 10 stream in the history of the Internet by

The way that particular thing and people you know there’s some there’s some jealousy in the world that’s ugly um but I’m thankful for you guys and I hope you guys are laughing as I do when all the WoW critics are taking these shots at you at me AJ for not saying anything

Well he says a lot that’s the thing that anytime somebody says what does this guy do it’s like you’re not paying attention just watch yeah listen I mean listen to him the last 10 minutes you just so if we could go back to the first 10 minutes this conversation that we said we

Weren’t going to continue to do AJ one of my favorite things is going back and looking to see who’s who’s cutting the clips is that uh gumps who’s cutting the clips for is that guess Gumpy I can’t wait to see what Gumpy cut for this well

Hey so Gumpy that’s like a lot of pressure he’s currently sitting in for zitto and hey Z baby baby baby congrats Zoo uh gumpy’s the one Cong hell yeah he’s gonna love hearing that um gumpy’s the one that has to watch a clip in real time and be like

Do we have to add context to this do we uh do we what do we what do we what do we do here did not put the Friday one out that was on internet the other people did hear that uh for yours last week there’s been a

Couple maybe that have kind of gone but boy when other people yeah that’s when the internet starts doing its thing because you set the tone with the words you know like I think I saw Elon mus said that video views are up like a 100x or something like that and he’s

Going to say that right now as he’s trying to build up his company back to being worse something but a lot of those videos if they’re longer than 15 seconds people aren’t watching that entire thing they’re banking on whatever is being said in the Tweet or in the post it’s

Got to be it’s got to be as inflammatory as possible that’s what ESP espn.com has done forever you had eight words to to do a headline just them just espn.com well no I mean that’s what I’m saying like ESPN is the sports leader like there’s no nobody’s watching really

Watching shows on on other networks like it’s it’s ESPN well we found that out when something very terrible was said right in the middle of one of those episodes and then just the next day show was still good nobody said a single thing no one cared it’s like well

There’s nobody watching that show apparently man but it’s the truth they’re watching it they’re watching on this network you imagine we did that are you kidding me right now could you imagine good night oh anyways we appreciate your compliments you’re the man let’s get back to some sports talk

Here Ty has a question a come on well we only have one minute anyways till hard out so if Tai was to ask you the question we get cut off in the middle of it yeah eron I’ll just say you were right obviously shouldn’t have been

Worried about the Packers at all they do what they do they beat the Bears um I believe there was a report though that said you either texted Jordan love before the game or after that uh the game just curious how impressed are you with his maturation and just like how

Incredible he’s looked down the stretch here with the youngest offense in the NFL cuz I I tell you what I am I’m having a good week so far well where’s all the criticism it’s a little quiet oh little bit quiet isn’t it a lot of talking was going on a little quiet

Now um so I don’t know if he used any of that for motivation it’s always fun to quiet those people though uh proud of him you know he’s he uh he’s a great kid and he’s had a nice season and uh a lot of people were piling on it six and

Eight weren’t they oh yeah maybe even you too Ty may even you too not him defense for sure I I’ve been saying for quite some time please I my sights on Joe Barry Jordan is what Ty just said but he’s back okay all right all right touche touche um back

Checked got gotcha got gotcha gotcha gotcha I text him I text him before the game I think that’s uh 10 in a row now yep so um the thing uh you know I’m a little disappointed about I thought that based on tiebreakers Packers win would mean bears

Are third in the division which means the nyj comes out to Soldier Field so we’re going to US Bank instead um but uh but yeah I mean that was uh that was pretty master class performance by Jordan Le ke had only what six or seven incomp completion five or s SE

Completions yeah jez yeah he played uh he played great took care of the football made made a lot of plays um and uh now they’re in the playoffs there’s some great story lines in the playoffs aren’t there you know with Matt going back to Detroit and yeah and Green

Bay going against uh Big Mike and Dallas um what else we got as far as those kind of things go there’s some other things well Jimmy Kimmel Aaron Rogers yeah they’re playing that one’s pretty good ones going on Monday night yeah the Monday night thing though I don’t know

If I’m a big fan of that what’s that I get it for for Ratings but having a Monday night game and then have that team to turn around unless they’re guaranteed to play on Sunday that seems like maybe a slightly disadvantage I don’t know if they can

Give them Saturday after Monday night I would assume they’re not last year was bucks Cowboys and they played on uh Sunday the Cowboys did after they beat the ball I would assume that they’re not allowed to give them satday you would you would assume or hope so at least the

NFL do something right but there is hey super Wild Aaron super Wildcard Weekend has been phenomenal it’s just like perfect lineup each day if one of the games gets bad obviously that kind of gets absurd but like think about Joey flacko back in this entire thing there’s

A lot of great stories a to your point yeah I mean keep that up there like CJ stra the season that he had is phenomenal Joe coming from the couch to Leading this team that’s kind of a pick them who’s a favorite in that one oh it

Is Browns are favorite in that one U you got Miami and the struggles that they’ve had against Ken city has been up and down they arested most of the guys last week you have Mason Rudolph coming off the bench to win what three straight there against Josh and they’ve won five

Straights you know and and they look amazing uh you get two teams that kind of been struggling a little bit at least the last couple weeks in Tampa and Philly um who are you know veteran Laden teams guys who won a lot of football uh see it’s fun I mean it’ll be exciting

Exciting to see what happens you got the two best teams in the league waiting for one of the low seeds but there’s a lot of uh there’s a lot of games that might not be as uh far apart as some of these spreads it seems like uh especially that

Bottom left I think it’s going to be a really interesting game yeah seven and a half more than a ton not a lot of respect love it big Big M Jerry world has been a real problem I know you’ve gone in there and had some success and also you’ve been in there

Where Great Performances have been done at halftime obviously with Baldhead baby looking adults flying around we we all can remember that entire thing um old stadium old stadium that was the old stadium I think that was the old stadium oh you’re old bro think about that yeah

Still playing a long time speaking of that speaking of you being old Connor has a question for you Aon yeah Aaron and uh what kind of seword would I be if I didn’t also bring up you know if if you haven’t heard the Cat Williams interview and I think you were

Referencing that earlier uh Ice Cube also came out right after it did a nice 9 minute video just to sum it up Ice Cube was basically just like yeah yeah it’s true uh but aside from the point well ludicrous responded with aition bars yeah ludicrous dropped bars

Uh you have to respect the bars but Ice Cube also you know you got to also respect what Ice Cube says and I’m not going against Ice Cube I’m just going to put that out there well there’s like 40 other people too that if from that

Particular one and by the way I was the Cat Williams generation oh Big Time reader too Cat Williams 3,000 books a year he said as like a seveny old yeah very smart person it’s pretty good has a Will Chamberlain numbers very smart person but you know when you’re saying

Stuff to Aaron’s Point sometimes he gets disheveled uh you had a press conference yesterday Aaron and you know you talked about how coming into this year it was awesome you weren’t sure how long it was going to be and then you you know fell in love with the team and the place and

Everything and then you kind of knew it was going to be a multi-year thing and then you said again yesterday you know you got to kind of come back and reprove yourself is this kind of are we about to enter into Scorch Earth Aaron Rogers

Because it does feel like that and as a Patriots fan it makes me extremely nervous and also is this going to be you know a 2-year thing for sure cuz CU from what it seems like especially from hearing your talk which has been incredible All Season by the way and all

Those people who are sending your death threats again bunker mentality them all them all but uh aside The Point again Jets how are we feeling going into uh next season is the rehab kind of you know G to slow down because you have more time now uh and last thing I got a

Mustache comb it has changed my life so think about grabbing one it just feels great when you run it through the stash just so you know that’s a lot Connor thank you uh I always look forward to what you’re going to wear on either the Simo multi cast or

The daily stuff same thing actually yeah I smell like I feel like that guy last night the uh the cheerleader guy um you know didn’t look around him when he said this is America’s mullet Dy yeah that was quite the didn’t you know shout out

To him you know and and and Michigan for winning uh they looked great last night especially the Run game uh was dominant but uh he didn’t look around him and see that old con man was there with the America’s mullet he was Intoxicated by the national champion his moment his

Moment you know he he had The Sideburns too I had to respect it was his moment yeah it was his moment I get it I get it they got those guys were basing all night oh yeah yeah they were talk about I heard two two ladies each guy M three

Guys six girls that’s what I heard shoulders routine doing a lot of Arnold Arnold press Arnold yeah Bango shout to AR I wonder if he’s gonna come on our show ever again I think so I think he will Arnold’s a man uh all right go I

Haven’t seen him on any other shows but maybe he’s been on those um he’s been doing some his him and his donkey were did the Monday yeah did the Manning cast yeah those guys are awesome um great D Jets yeah uh two or three years I think

Two or three years I’m G to see how I feel but uh I said yesterday you know I said something and uh headlines are headlines and and if you say one thing and you see them all write something down you’re like ah I said it to to

My media guy afterwards I was like well I know what the headline is going to be I said something about being the hot SE hot seat right um and it’s true though uh we’re on the hot seat every year if you don’t look at your job like that I

Don’t know what we’re doing you know but every year you got to prove yourself again whether you’re the quarterback or any position or the coach you know like you go out and prove that you are uh you know a valued asset that you can get the

Job done and you still got it then you’re going to be around so that’s how I’ve always looked at it obviously it’s a little different when you’re under contract maybe first year second year as a rookie or first or second year of a major deal but every everything for me

Is a one year I go out ball out you know we make a run have a chance they probably want me back if I can prove I can still move around if I don’t it’s probably going to be it you know uh I’d

Like to be here for a few more years I I like you here I really do I really have a good relationship with both Woody and Christopher and uh Joe Douglas and Robert Salah I enjoy the staff here I enjoy the guys a lot it’s good good

Group of men and women that work here at the organization incredible fan base it’s hungry um and it’s been it’s been a tough year you know they’re like this been a lost year but uh every time I talk it’s going to get reaction I get it I understand it uh

And yeah we are we’re all on the hot seat like we we got to win every year you got to win and it’s over scrutinized because we’re in New York but we know that don’t shy away from it uh just part of it okay so whenever you talk about

That multiple year thing obviously that’s a lot different than what a a lot of people thought going in and with how the first year ends up going Jets fans gave up hope I think on the whole dream for a bit now they’re back in on it Michael Lombardi said it was like

Ineptitude of the Jets to basically say well we lost Aaron so we lost Aaron so that put a lot that puts a lot of pressure on you like for next year if it doesn’t go let’s say early there’s a little bit of some Growing Pains that could potentially take place because you

Didn’t get to have them this past year it’s going to get real loud mostly on you though but you’ve earned that I guess and are you expecting that and understand that that’s kind of going to be the scenario yeah I’ll take it I’m ready for it like

I understand it’s part of the it’s part of the job description like and uh our media is fantastic here they cover the team all facets of it uh they ask tough questions so I I enjoy those uh those times I understand what’s coming and uh same thing last year you know would have

Been the same thing had I started played well and we you know gotone in a Dallas and gotten our ass whooped and been like oh well you know hold your horses might not be a great great team and you know if we’d kind of started off one and

Three they would have been would have been killing me like they were killing everybody else so probably a little more um but yeah it’s part of it part of the job I get it I look forward to it look forward to those interactions and uh I’ll be ready for everything that comes

With it excited about getting back here in a few months and uh getting the off season going excited about taking a little break first and foremost we’ll see if this this whole thing dies down and never really uh Co part never really dies down but the other stuff and then

We’ll just uh try to enjoy our offseason a little bit more on that note AJ Hawk has a question great no I’m not nothing about Co none of that I’m just curious when you went into that your Darkness Retreat that got so much play how how

Close were you if you look back at it now you said you were you went in expecting like 90% retirement I think you you said back in the day I don’t want to misquote you we know how you don’t like that but when you look back

What’s the CH what so certainly over the last week it quite a few how close were you though were you were you legit going to quit because when you or retire I should say when you say two to three years I can’t imagine you ever really taking your brain to the spot where

You’re not playing football I think that’s uh that was not the case prior to uh you the contemplation um that I I was considering walking away and and doing it right away but uh you know and I said it yesterday I felt like it was going to be a one-year thing

And then I got out here and it just I kind of fell back in love with the game and the process and the practice and the locker room and just everything comes with it and so you know he you remember those OTAs there were slow motion shots so

Sick it was like oh this guy throwing the first time in front of all these people these people are seeing Aaron Rogers throw a football for the first time you knew that like even as a guy who’s a first ballot Hall of Famer you got people watching on a sideline

There’s a little thing in the back of a lot of you humans up there like welcome to the show buddy you know like was that a part of it was that that’s a whole thing right of course of course yeah I imagine yeah you know when you take the field for practice like

There’s people it’s same thing for games like I feel that in G names too is like prepare to be impressed you know that’s like are you not entertained like watch this I mean because and I think I took this from from Michael Jordan or somebody but

I feel like some Elite ath once said maybe it’s Kobe like there’s somebody in the arena that’s never seen me play tonight like and I’m like there’s somebody here has never seen me practice it’s never seen me throw a ball before it’s never seen me play like that that

Motiv Ates me that’s like that inspires me I’m like all right I’m going to I’m going to put on a show so yeah like I have had so much fun uh falling back in love with the game and so that’s I think why it was even more heartbreaking going

Down so quick but uh I don’t think it’s going to be one more year I think it’s going to be a few more years um so saying two to three feels like the truth uh I don’t think one it’s it’s not one so it’s two or or more that’s why I said

Two or three well don’t be given exact numbers you know cuz then they’ll get you Yep this lion immunized sack of Subs it again he said two to three years he’s played four years this never stops lying this guy never St do they still not understand why I said

Immunized dude the it just became like the do they know that do they know that I was in a in an appeal process not to mention like I don’t know what you would call it if you go to a homeopathic doctor and you get taken through an immunization process

What do you say you are well I think what some people would say is that you’re a conspiracy theorist that’s people well lion lion soft brained you know concussion Junior College transfer conspiracy theorist but I’ll tell you what though I was I was proud that that bu got a shout out

Because that was a special year for me there’s a lot of amazing people of course uh going to to BU College whether it’s the main campus in wh there Chico Center so shout out to BU colge go road runners shout out to Craig rgby uh one of my all-time favorite coaches shout

Out to Jeff Jordan uh my quarterback coach offensive coordinator we had some great times there thanks for letting me run uh BC check with me so much which was basically five widespread check to either QB draw 92 96 99 get down the road well shout out to be I mean that’s

Good Silver Lining they got a shout out yeah last night hey way to go way to look at the glass half full you know what I mean actually with that particular case you poured it out of the glass that was half full into a smaller

Glass all the way full did give a shout out to be there in the middle of that entire thing enrollment numbers and also with the type of human you are I think that we’ve learned over the last couple years of talking to you feels like you’re probably going to go get a

Doctorate at some point now right because that was kind of held against you that you uh you didn’t graduate from that that seems like an Aaron Rogers thing oh yeah I’ve decided I’m become a doctor how come well I was a dumb concussion prone College Dropout at

One point right that is that is how you actually operate as a human well yes and also do we want to get into the college debate I mean ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen a great book right now called toling into the American mind and it

Talks a lot about what’s really going on col campuses these days so fact that I you know only spent five actual semesters on a college two of those being at a college that some people don’t respect even though a community college is are awesome ways for kids to

Start their career because it’s low cost education in most places is fantastic and a lot of places are really good at getting you to transfer somewhere so um I don’t even want to get into what’s going on in college campuses because it’s uh that’s just low hanging fruit I

Had a lot of great teammates that were Jo guys and uh not only is it low costs and if you get a degree you showcase that you were able to just put in work for a certain amount of time which is what I think college degrees are for a

Lot of things we’re not even to get into charging an amount of money that they’ll never be able to earn back so you’re constantly in debt forever we’re not going to do that whole thing the only it’s the only debt that doesn’t uh get erased through uh filing bankruptcy that

Thing stays with you not just with you but if you die that goes on to your that gets passed down they’re getting that money now that you read that in a book I I I did not read that stat I’m supposed to check that that could yeah please

Fact take that that could not be that could be false but that’s I believe that’s the way that student loans work checking we’re checking check it right now check it right now we’re not going to let you get out of here till we get no

Way check it out con man let me didn’t Biden forgive a bunch of college loan yeah I think it’s still happening but then they just started paying recently yeah in the in the forgiveness if you will there are a lot of checks that you got to get to okay so they’re

Not just forgiven for anything you got to you know have a lot of different problems so they’re saying we might forgive but we don’t forget is what they’re saying bid has had a great think tank at at upen I think all right I think I I mean I think this is

The problem with with what kind of wrap this conversation uh I’m happy you’re the one doing this yeah yeah well I’m I’m a great Factor he seemed very happy about it yeah I love doing it um so one of them says if a borrower dies their federal student loans are discharged

After the required proof of death is submitted oh that’s good that’s that’s however well that’s a big one directly below it there is no administrative discharge for private student loans if you die private loan debts will be handled the same way as other debts so it goes on to the next line of

Yeah the next the next one actually says uh if you weren’t vaccinated you have to pay your debts no matter forever yeah right after it bag them and tag them to while you’re doing it all right well we know that the I mean we the answers at the top of the

Google are obviously oh yeah vers the I mean there’s there’s no there’s hey check him check him they say two people that are both qualified to give an answer on something will somehow have polar opposite answers in the same world that we live in right now so whenever people are like upset it’s

Like hey I might not know the answer to go to the other side but I can find somebody that is credible smart presents themsel as a human that has done the research who will be just as passionate against you and I think the reason why I

Was kind of bummed do about last Tuesday is because what it led to was just more people yelling and bickering at each other and I think even though you are a man that has been chastised and had a lot of things thrown at you for the decisions that you’ve made and the way

You’ve gone about living your life I don’t think you want to be in the middle of more yelling at each other either I think all anybody wants mostly you is like open dialogue conversation and to be heard and I think if we can all kind of do that as we move

Forward we’ll be in a much better spot because we’re about to enter election season and godamn if we could just talk to each other that would make this all a lot better but what’s going to take place is I’m better human than you are no you’re not no I’m a better human than

You are and I don’t know if you know this ESPN that P changes this year to what politics baby let’s go no that and that’s why you’re a bad person because of what you just said no no I’m not what I just I’m a better person than you are

No you’re not I just read facts off the internet so no but your facts were leading to a way that you are I’m a better person than you are person I’ve never done leaning fact I’m a better person than you are guess what I actually rode in a carpool with Gumpy

Today cuz we wanted to save the environment because we don’t want to waste gas oh guess what I was also in there very uncomfortable didn’t have to be I’m a better human than you are no you’re not a better human than I am because you drive an electric car and

Those Minds that they make those electric batteries and children die every day whoa let’s talk about the ozone though I’m taking care of the entire world you’re welcome they say global warming I’m a better human than you are oh Global Warming you mean that pish posh they made up to just get

Everybody jeez into into a frenzy you mean that one anyways that’s politics a constant Battle of who’s a better human who’s standing for something better let’s all assume that in the majority we’re all good people and we want to move forward we appreciate you coming on today Aaron doing this entire thing and

Uh let’s keep this thing marching on cover we we covered a lot of ground and who knows if we cleared anything up as far as the uh those people who uh are out there saying stuff most of them probably don’t want things spared up anyway but listen I think in general I

Think you hit on the head like I’m not trying to spread any hate in this world and I’m not asking anybody in my name to attack people so I hope that point got across loud and clear and uh and I hope that uh all corruption and uh misdeeds that have

Been done in the name of harming people whether it’s kids or the common American gets exposed because that’s going to make us a better country not fighting with each other about stupid like you guys just were which is hilarious because and also disheartening because that kind of is happening out there

All the time yeah so I’m an observer you know I don’t know much about politics but I do know that’s what it is yep right there in a nutshell I don’t think I don’t think this is going to change my opinion to those people at all

I don’t care all right I appreciate that hell of a year pal we done good mustache was fantastic can’t wait until next year mhm two healthy Achilles what spry knees a rested body and arm why taking the field at MetLife on September 11th 2024 woo no it’s going to be a different

Day it’s got to be we got to change that that’s not going to work we got to change are you super what are we I don’t know what day of the week that is I think it’s a Wednesday right we’re Wednesday afternoon football do it

Raj yeah we need to see it you know what I mean we need to do one of these right here that so cool we’re gonna need we’re gonna need San Fran to win and us to to play on a Wednesday or that’s a Thursday right first game of

Robotic alien thing I can’t really make out what you’re saying it’s been like that for the majority of the show but it’s I believe you asked me something about Aaron and F yeah Aaron asked me who who’s Mike Foss and I said actually he’s a really good dude actually he’s

Great he’s with the show a lot so I pumped Foss up that a boy foss’s new SVP over there at ESPN oh yeah people kept saying that I attacked my boss first of all there’s only two of those well three of those I apologize if you count the Lord and Savior yeah Jesus

Christ Jesus Christ yeah these all were boss the mhm you know the the yeah you’re right but Foss is like the one who has to sit in there in Bristol at his desk he’s the point person for this program so anything that happens here all the you know people that don’t

Necessarily enjoy us being at ESPN mhm they beine right to his office yep and he has to do a come on in and they here’s what they meant they explain why why they are certainly pissed that we did whatever we did and fos has to just deflect en counter an

Intend what our intent was and then they walk out the door and then somebody comes right in how come they get to oh you see he negotiated that into his contract that is how it goes we didn’t why are they allowed to say in whatever well that’s

How it goes Foss puts his legs up his get bashed yep then they walk out of the building and then lo and behold just wait there’s more looks out his office and sees a a line of 50 people waiting out there just pulling numbers and that’s who fosses so I don’t know if

We’re able to explain that completely to Aaron Rogers while we’re talking to him yeah but Foss was definitely going to have to say something at some point and I think he might have been in a bevy of big time yeah ah let’s get to a break we made it two

And a half hours boys yes we did we did nobody expected that of us no no chance I was trying to get Aaron to come on the first hour yeah so we could run rerun second hour just run that Harbaugh theore interview eight times journalism journalism Che journalism actually we’re

Lives a lot easier by the way if people were just clamoring yeah by the way I’d love to come on a show by the way that would be Dan Marino yep he was on a b week by way and then he obviously fumbles his words a little bit and then live on CBS

Says God damn it jeez Dan Uncle Dan what a clip all time clip that clip is made Dam Marina you need to know we’ve been watching your best hits in this office for the last month or so y you’re an icon buddy send it no flubs send

It nope don’t want to listen to it don’t need to there was no flub no flub send it the guy immediately yeah you’re yeah no FL you’re right just you want to go one more time one more how about him and Ace vure Pet Detective

And then Baltimore Baltimore two years Frank Clark’s still out there too he got cut by the Seahawks bring him in okay so vel’s the big news yes that is well also JJ might be going Steelers yeah van Ginko for the season as well maybe up there we thought that though right

Didn’t we was that kind of the fear that’s when we kind of knew it might be Joe B when V GLE was done Andrew hell Year dude sorry to hear about that a lot of injuries to that Miami Dolphins team and in optune times but I trust uh

McDaniel to figure something out but also they’ve been swinging in the wrong direction going into the playoffs Hard Knocks in season’s been covering it all don’t love that that’s potentially becoming a thing yeah little bit of a cur you know cuz when they followed the Colts first year we were supposed to I

Mean it’s not like a question are we making and then we lose the clown back toback weeks Raiders and then clown town and we’re out of the playoffs and Hardo is over it’s like that NFL films crew works way too hard for it to become something that is like a they curse

Teams I don’t like that at all yeah and then Cardinals next year head coach and GM gets fired yeah after that in season Uncle Dan’s not happppy that that that’s in the building he’s dumb Hard Knock Cameron should be on a by week by the way these cameras the out of

Here by the way all right I won’t see them again what did you say how many yards would he he throw for in the modern NFL oo 6,000 easy he just had that quick Rel I think he threw for five grand in like 84 maybe yeah so yeah absolute Howitzer with hilarious

Shoes on mhm oh yeah hysterical shoes it kind of throws like it all right well it’s been a lot of fun and it’s been an honor to cover the college football season in football thus far we will continue into Super Wildcard Weekend which is one of the greatest weekends of

Football that is big thank you to the college football for having the season that they had congrats to Michigan on once again yeah congrats to Washington Huskies yeah great season great great season I got a chance to sit down with both coaches day before the game and

People were saying I was an actual journalist in there you could see the respect that they have for one another and then whenever you see how relaxed Harbaugh is before that game I think it’s a pretty good indicator on how he felt about his Squad in the matchup with

The huskys he going to win Kaylin Dorn’s second year will probably be back soon even though it is not easy to get to the top of the mountain especially with injuries and everything that has to go your way the ball the bounce everything but what a fantastic Showcase of college

Football as a whole these two teams were and uh we’ll be back tomorrow man sorry for meling it in this is the first time I mean long time damn near ever potentially ever yeah it’s not since uh 10 hours yesterday I no that was that’s a long

Day there was those shows where you had to leave and go places and we would finish the last hour and it was basically like there was no show on not B you guys are pretty good I listen to you guys numerous times when I was in a

Car in a plane yeah you guys crushed it yeah tones Twisted top 10 come on yeah those days we might need to bring that back tomorrow thre away the Jack I was going to say the Letterman jacket actually was thrown of the garbage for a new one coming in maybe

Yeah could be what are you so negative about you just threw your pen by the way was Aaron doing that he was a yeah click it I saw Dr disrespect was not happy with the uh the white balance of Aaron’s camera oh really doc yeah Dr disrespect

Said watch you on Pat magy show Aon first of all need to figure out the white balance this disgusting classic Doc and then he said we’re about the same age I can throw a football further than you okay okay the best doctor disrespect can spit it yes

He can and he is 6′ 10 big you don’t really get that when ever you’re watching him locked in you know killing people in Call of Duty he walks amongst regular civilians the Norms you’re talking about a tire yeah a power and he’s he showcases that every

Single day athlete he was watching I don’t know what if he was judging or trying to learn but he was certainly teaching in the middle of that and he said Aaron needs to figure the out always we all need to figure it out as 2024 continues to roll on and this year

Has started in an absolutely absurd way yesterday we were doing our show in an empty NRG Stadium just hours before the national championship took place from the college game day set and you called a guy a butt and dick having drunk and was I wrong people checked the

Tape yeah and there was no rebuttle I did not get there no notes no boom what Chef D said he has gotten Community notes before and that was a goal and we had to check him quickly and say not for you shter yeah for us certainly something it’s going to

Happen it’s going to happen whenever you just break fake news mhm well I was duped and let usay last night you were about the same mindset that you were whenever you broke that news and there was a couple different times I came up to you and said got any insiders tonight

And you said maybe you know they’re they’re always out there they’re always out there especially in that Lobby we were in oh yeah when you’re could you imagine breaking harball going to the NFL with a picture of you and yeah when your Stones throw away from Pete thill

It’s hard not to I mean this guy knows everything that was not Pete themill though last night you’re yeah it’s a good point that was slim Pete you’re right turns out slim Pete Allah Slim Shady has not seen the movie8 mile what so whenever Bruce wearing a Michigan hat

Comes and shoulder bumps his sternum yeah and says everybody in a 313 Pete can get a little bit a little bit uncomfortable almost slept him in the mou I thought Pete potentially had like through this entire M cuz Bruce is wearing Michigan stuff yeah and Pete is

A human who understands what this year has been like for him breaking news about Michigan once didn’t create the news no just was breaking the news doing his job he’s been in he’s been in college football for 20 years so he’s done this before but he was kind of on

Guard from some Michigan fans potentially acting in Bruce just 1:30 a.m. yeah oh slim peteza over there that’s an inside joke we’re having on this side of the room I’m sure I’m sure he oh they talked me into it it was this Triple A it was a mistake

I I do have some breaking news if you would like it Conor stallion was in Houston last night Conor stallion Conor stallion where was he uh he was postgame partying with some some Michigan grads I don’t know if he was at the game was he

With the team or was he with the grds he was with the grads with the alumnus I feel like he probably assumes that he was a massive piece of this entire champ yeah absolutely this in the manifesto kidding me yep page 476 we are near the end of this entire

Thing I will be made out to be the villain y I will be exiled but I will always be a Michigan man heyen and when we get to that mountain top I will be flying my flag like every other Michigan this might be page like 96 oh you think still started I mean

Yeah he’s young he might be the head coach har got to get out of way Chiron Moore probably got to get out of the way probably one more guy and he’ll be in there there’s only a certain amount of coaches that would leave after a national championship Marissa the

Colgate softball player big brain statistician for game day sent me a uh I got to the lobby kind of late too but I heard uh Don Ye was in there too was that true uh in the lobby no gum just kept going around that’s Don there’s Don

Don Don Ye went up to Herby when Herby was down there for two seconds and shook Herby’s hand Don Ye was in the building well how come Herby didn’t tell us any of that what did he say he said Ben was doing stuff yeah I’m glad that on the

Last one uh Herby to leave a nice taste in ourl said hey off I’m not hanging out with you guys I’ll see you later yeah see you in August that’s actually how ree said goodbye to him a game day awesome see you in August and I think Herby told uh SVP

Last night that Ben’s next trip will be to CBO hell of a year for you Herby hell of a year you ear it Herby 28 years now there’ll be uh Tuesday Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays in January February March April May June and July stop by anytime hary Marissa told me there have been

Four coaches in the pole era to leave their school right after winning a national title Tom Osborne retired from a coaching at Nebraska in 1997 Howard schnellenberger left Miami to become coach GM part owner of the spirit of Miami in the usfl Franz that never Johnny Majors left pit for Tennessee his

Al mod and Bernie Beerman left Minnesota after being called into military service during World War II you Bernie he served as the head coach of Iowa pre tour or whatever hell yeah Bernie so not a lot of normal situations where you’d win a National Championship in leag but if

Your goal was to restore greatness and there’s a coach ready to kind of carry the oh yeah baton we could see it that’s where all eyes are and we’re also around the NFL to see who will potentially be on the move next in the coach and GM

Ranks we can’t thank you enough for allowing us to do this every day we’re back tomorrow we’re probably all going to nap pretty good bit yep right away I’mma kiss I’mma kiss that baby oh yeah so hard on cheeks mhm both of them by the way I hope she remembers me that’s the

Big yeah imagine if she sees oh it’s going to happen oh yeah big big smile feet kicking getting excited hands probably oh yeah one of these oh it’s about to happen yeah all right let’s go do that great work this week this year today can’t wait to see the reaction to

Everything that happened today me too you’re the greatest people on Earth we’ll be back tomorrow be a friend tell a friend something nice might change your life goodbye gentlemen congratulations thank you so much for taking the time where you’re contractually obligated to so I uh I

Appreciate you guys being here I want to be here I just want you to know come on I have watched you and uh do your thing man nothing but uh nothing but respect and praise for you the shirt the the where’s the shirt yeah well and and and

The guys love you too man the the uh the players love you the kids love you come on that makes me feel really good I had a couple booze cocktails last night was in here a little tired you just made me feel Mercy I don’t want to hear about

That no no it was me it was me and not your boys or anything like that but let’s uh talk about this so I have a show every day a lot of things are said on it and I’ll start with you coach Adam shefer joined us Michigan man and he

Talked about you and your trip back to Michigan he said that he thought one of your missions was to restore greatness at Michigan like as a Michigan man you almost felt obligated to your Alma moer to come back and restore greatness now I don’t know if he was speaking for you or

If he was just thinking that that was the case three straight college football playoffs now a national championship appearance do you feel like you’ve done that for Michigan and was that a mindset going back to coach there uh yeah I wanted uh I mean there’s there’s a there’s a Michigan man

Um you know I try to live up to that standard it’s how do you describe that there’s no real one definition but um if if you know when they throw dirt over top of me if uh somebody could would you know eulogize me and say he was a

Michigan man that would and and and that would sum it up I’d be I’d feel really good about that three straight and then now a national championship appearance I think a lot of Michigan people and khakis are saying you definitely did that and for you coach I’ve got a chance

To learn a lot about the history of Washington football this year because they’ve been taking a trip down memory lane with how great Washington football used to be I think a lot of America is getting introduced to the great fan base that the Washington football huskies have had was that something that you

Talked about whenever you took the job was that expected of you like Hey we’re trying to get back to a national prominence and did you expect it to happen as quickly when yeah I knew there was certainly a history of greatness that Evol that was uh surrounding the

Program and uh that was very attractive to me um I think there was these roots this um these BM about the program um that that had Championship uh kind of a feel to it um knew it was possible because it’s been done before and um you

Know just coming in uh I guess um not in an arrogant way but just feeling like that’s what we’re going to do is compete for championships you know uh and to do it here in year two is special um it’s a huge credit to our players uh it’s a

Huge credit to people that helped bring them in uh even prior to our staff uh you know there’s just a a way that our guys have embraced our coaching staff coming in here in these two years um it goes both ways but uh man it’s just uh

It’s just awesome you know having these moments right now bring back a lot of the memories of those great teams in the past you know and hearing more and more stories and me being it even more educated um you know only having been here two years it’s it’s really fun time

Right now being a Washington Husky coach we’re out there for game day 6:00 a.m. local out there in Washington Seattle packed out rain miserable cold your fans show I didn’t know what to expect I was a little bit of a hater going in and then it was like the most active crowd

I’ve ever seen I’m like I did not know West Coast Football was like this they’re like well Washington it’s different speaking it different your quarterback seems to be different this dude’s accuracy is phenomenal his arm a cannon his leadership great but I think the story going into the year was he

Came back to do this right in this kind of why he came back to Washington and with everything he’s been through why is he the perfect leader for the team that you have yeah well first of all it was great having you out there and we didn’t

Have that sitting next to us uh but uh you know we had they brought this thing in first the bottom part mhm thought as well small you know what I mean and then they brought this top part on I’m like now we’re talking sweet you know that’s

What we’re playing for Coach will you touch this H will you touch this me too man I’m I don’t got no shot but uh Michael pennx why do you think he’s the perfect guy for your team yeah he just um I mean going back to when he came

Here uh it helped us Kickstart things really quickly he he he you know he knew the offense it the same system we ran back in 2019 and so uh we really got off and rolling quickly but what I’ve really seen out of him this last year uh beyond

The skill sets uh and all the things that he can do um with his accuracy his arm Talent um he’s really LED our team you know and uh I have such an appreciation for the journey he’s been on how he’s taken all those experiences and really poured them into making sure

That uh he can pass those moments that he’s learned from um no regrets control you control all those things that he stands for having faith and and just confidence in who you are that things can uh the son will come up the next day you know uh when adversity does strike

He’s taken all of that and just poured into our team our team again has embraced him in every way possible and uh it’s just been an awesome awesome pie to to see from my vantage point as a head coach uh seeing this group of gentlemen come together um you know and

Obviously led by Michael yeah thanks for what you guys did for the state of Indiana there you that was the most exciting college football we had in our state for a while there you guys were dicing and slicing uh Coach Harbaugh A wise man once

Said I like my locker room to be like my mother’s bathing suits in one piece in one piece and then I also heard a wise man say uh that chickens skittish bird and then that same man said I was completely wrong we’re talking a big man

Admit their wrong big man huge to do that low maintenance high production correct these chickens so with both those things coming together do you think the reason why your locker room has been able to handle everything and has been able to stay in one piece like your mother’s bathing suit is because

They’re a bunch of chickens low maintenance high production why do you think your group has been able to handle everything that’s been thrown their way this year and not blinked I’m going to be honest yeah I’m forced to pick games every week on game day don’t love it not

An easy way to be a hero in every town especially in a very uh we’ll say aggressive College fan base in some places got some death threats in places you know for picking against their team I assumed with the amount of distractions that your team had this

Year 18 to 23 year olds that’s something we get in it’s hard to win a football game your team has stayed the course stayed tight remain that bathing suit why do you think that’s the case and who do you think is responsible for that outside yourself sure um a lot of

Factors go into it uh a lot of times it’s a thousand little things that add up to make all the difference but um you know different factors sometimes it it’s it’s as simple as I don’t care what the freak you say about us you know we know

Who we are and we’re going to try to dominate this day go to sleep and then wake up and dominate the next day you know another part is yeah it’s low maintenance equals the lower the maintenance the higher your production I don’t have any scientific evidence to

Support that it’s just what I’ve noticed um and the big thing is is the Players it’s always it’s always comes back to the players Pat in my opinion and coach said it you know he had a quarterback that came back he had members of his team that came back because they wanted

To accomplish something you know we had the exact same thing um JJ McCarthy when he walked off the podium last year after the TCU game said he will be back you know we’ll be back and I reporter asked me yesterday um well JJ McCarthy last year left the podium and he said that

That he would be back whatever and I said not whatever not whatever you know that’s huge he Michael penck you know uh it wasn’t just a resolution uh for Michael or JJ I mean that was repetition that went in every single day and had they not done that

You know it would have been that guy would have been the first guy to say you know what we wrong knew it was going to go wrong predicted it was going to go wrong you know not giving a not giving a freak and you know putting that

Repetition in every single day you know those players made that happen you know I take very little credit for uh for what our players uh and coaches were able to accomplish this year but uh um yeah well I love it I love your teams watching them last question for me for

Both of you and I appreciate it and I think youve probably already had to address this a thousand times and as we get closer to the game I’m sure you’re both excited to not have to do it anymore but as you watch film of his team what do you think his culture is

What do you think he’s looking for whenever he’s recruiting a guy can you tell that by watching film and watching what type of Team he has on the field yeah tough physical connected um you know really talented uh players uh really well coached and and connected

How about you coach for yeah I think the thing that I’ve been pressed with because um you always kind of identify it when it’s something that you really feels important and um you can see that you know you know coach uses the word connected I think that’s a great one um

But you can see a team that’s just fighting all together all heading the same direction wanted for each other um a lot of the things that I think we’ve utilized as far as having our having people maybe doubt us or challenge us um in different ways we’ve had each of

Those things happen uh in our programs you know over the last couple years and um you know it’s just man you know it’s all about just you and I think coach has done an awesome job galvanizing his team and bringing them together and and uh just you know being there for each other

I think that’s what our team has done you know we’re there to to fight but uh yeah coach um when you talk about toughness and physicality uh Coach Harbaugh and his team um you know this would be the greatest challenge we’ve had uh all year long by far uh both

Sides of the ball in all ways All Phases well great work this year by both you and your teams congratulations you know coach already touched this maybe you’ll get to do the same um what did you say thees resilience cool but I want to be relentless Bruce Willis Die Hard okay I

Give me the Terminator yeah you both proved that this year congratulations thank you so much for taking time
