something nice could change their life sport sport sport sport hello beautiful people and Welcome to our humble abode the Thunderdome on this fast talking Tuesday May 14th 2024 this sports program starts now sports are wonderful as our auers you know uh we just had the incredible opportunity to see Matt Mor uh meum Auto Auctioneer do his thing we got to hang out with him all morning 24 years he’s been auctioneering for this meikum auto auctions and I’ll tell you what if you’ve never been whenever they come to your city you need to go I am mesmerized by the show that they put on I’m a car person so I obviously don’t mind seeing $730,000 Vehicles kind of strut in front of you and then right afterwards a jack up truck with fire flames on him and a v9 engine somehow instead of a V8 going in front of you then a three-wheeler then a quad then a Lambo that a Ford Bronco from 1995 two years after sure same color he famous Infamous mhm OJ Simpson Ford Bronco then it just never stops all day they’ve been here for uh I think four days they got five days left here nine days worth of just cars coming across the thing memorabilia collector it is it’s awesome it’s a museum it is a blast and Matt has been an absolute stud for us taking care of us since I literally met him a few years back thank you to him for opening that by was Sports he covered everything going on in sports right there he did and he even gave the countdown I think it was a minute and 1 second he said it was 30 second countdown so he certainly lied to everybody immediately upon starting but that was fantastic and sports are amazing right now we got playoffs happening obviously NBA NHL we’re going to keep up that we got stories building in the NBA around LeBron James what was he in Cleveland for is he going back home is he going back home maybe maybe what about bronny he h 12 straight threes now a lot of people are saying wow that guy’s taking forever to shoot that ball but all I’m seeing is the ball go into the bucket I thought Le bronny Couldn’t Shoot everybody say he’s going to be great on defense he can jump obviously high but his offensive efficiency not that great look at how many points he scored to UFC it’s like well at combine just yesterday we saw him Barry 12 straight threes feels like he’s going to be on a head start too to potentially get on a team because of who his dad is so we’re excited to kind of ask Wendy yeah 7 minutes to tell us everything about everything obviously the NBA had a great night of playoffs last night we also have the amazing old bastard PK suban joining his fresh off a birthday wow he’s had a full week to celebrate his birthday ESPN let him not take work or not work for a week because he’s celebrating a 35th birthday I do believe something like that so happy birthday to him Paul skin will be joining us in a second hour obviously to chitchat about what he’s doing in Pittsburgh which is saving baseball potentially for an entire city that I think would love baseball if the team was worth a damn at all Paul SK is coming back bringing a little bit of magic we’ll chat with him in the second hour and then Julian Edelman will join us in a third hour to talk Rose talk football talk Tom talk life talk his podcast games with names which is obviously fantastic and uh we’re lucky to be here chitchatting about NFL news obviously every single day the toic table is here at Bon Connor at Tai Schmidt Comm man no dogs today just Bears yeah that’s right Bruins all day I mean yesterday you know some fans wear their jerseys to prove to people that they’re you know fans of a team some fans wear them when it’s actually game day and obviously I mean you might not know because this is an old maav void yours you I’ve had this for quite some time he’s got the A on his now but you know I feel great about where the Bruins are at down 3-1 backs against the wall what’s going to happen we’re going to find out tonight but we know that the big rig is saying we got to win a hockey game okay so that’s what we’re looking for and you know the Celtics obviously took care of business easy last night now the Rangers were up 3-1 over the canes and obviously last night now it’s 3-2 wait a second New York uhoh uhoh City not good yikes got the Pacers traveling to town too big bad wolves are coming to town after winning by 40 you got the Rangers potentially going to blow a 3-1 seriously no way they can’t we were just talking a little bit ago uh a couple weeks ago or maybe last week I guess um the Rangers are now going to be considered a team that started 7 and0 in their playoff run yeah there’s been 11 teams in the history of the NHL that have started 7-0 in their playoff run eight of them would go on to win the cup oh no three of them would lose are the New York Rangers about to make that four 12 people that have gone seven and0 I saw a man named Jim Kelly last night okay he’s a bald guy used to work for the New York police department now he’s part of security at WWE and boy he’s riding High you know with uh how good the Knicks have been Indiana Pacers are killing how good the Rangers are hurricanes maybe turn this entire thing around Jim Cy and everybody else from that big Suit City might be swallowing a couple you know oh NOS if they ruin this entire run that was supposed to be fantastic and Majestic both on the ice and on the hardwood for New York this hurricane team is not going to give up and obviously we got nothing but respect for this Rangers Squad I like the way they play I like their toughness I like their skill I like how they’ve come around and they’re more experienced than they’ve ever been and maybe this is the year they get going but this Kane’s team ain’t going to go down without fight no way they ain’t going to go down they were the odds on favorite to win the Stanley Cup starting the playoff series I think they were reminded of that last night especially in a back against the wall must-win situation now that series is at 3-2 here we go the only team that could potentially be a big dud in this particular series would be the Boston Bruins if they were to lose four to one to the Florida Panthers but that obviously is going to change this evening or will it ladies and gentlemen nine-year NFL vet massive Florida Panthers fan has been for the entirety of his hockey fandom Darius JB 1993 here we go big game big closeout game down in Sunrise uh reservations already made it Elbow Room big game talked to Moose yesterday today he talked about how important this game five closeout game at home so to be tough Bruins will show up I’m sure but uh I got all the faith in the world in the boys I said the Bruins could be the only team that make this boring but uh obviously stars are up 3-1 already have L as well ah Big Night Big Night hockey starting to feel like 99 boys starting to feel like1 1999 wow we got people taking real deep trips to celebrate something again long time ago that is a long time ago you not as long as you sorry asses up there in Detroit I know one of those teams that started 70 actually lost the Detroit Red Wings in 2008 do you remember who that was P well who was it I think it was the Pittsburgh Penguin that’s one of the teams no way all right only one there’s been other and then what happened yeah then next year what happened HOSA came and said hey you know what this thing’s all over and then he went to your team won they won to Chicago I believe they won there too so he uh yeah quite a miracle worker that guy one half of the hammer di Cowboys tone digs back tone we missed you yesterday you look fantastic pal second best cowboy hat on the program today Yeah by far uh Matt had his summer cowboy hat on I’m still wearing my my felt uh winter cuz you know temperature in here is always nice and perfect um you said no I said nice and perfect I like the way you described it uh I do owe a couple apologies uh to New York Rangers fans and Minnesota Timberwolves fan y since we did the uh better jump on the bandwagon announcement full announcement yep neither of those teams have won those teams are completely defeated since we did the jump on the B don’t miss the Yukon Huskies train that kind of happens sometimes in sports gambling when you start talking about things too much those old gambling guys we talking immediately afterwards yeah we’re talking as soon as it was said gambling God said that’s cute and then change Fortune quickly from two different sports two different cities two different teams all because of you potentially yeah you got you uh have to say that’s pretty you feel pretty good about yourself if you think you’re the reason why two different sports two different teams two different cities between you can’t R you can’t completely roll roll it out K you not with these gambling Gods with the way they operate like if if cow was the one you know doing the siren down down in uh who who did do the S not sure coach of the NC State roow team right oh yeah he got good crew team there and they they came out boys were flying when they when they saw that John sabski did it is that know he got he know that’s the head coach of the rowing team he’s not there anymore he went to uh he you know Duke oh wow he’s moving up in the world yeah I think so anyways we didn’t know who the hell doing this thing this playoff game yeah let’s get Bill car on that if we need it especially if we need to knock off the evil New York Rangers for the good of everybody you did ruin their fortunes potentially but that can always change you know there could be another heater that we can potentially ride like for instance the Boston Celtics are they all the way back have they figured it out are they going to go ahead and just murder everybody all the way through like they were supposed to do until they lost at home to spite a Mitchell a couple games games go yeah like that’s the problem it feels like of course they’re going to they’re going to stroll into the finals but when you look back on it it’s like okay heat without Jimmy Butler Cavs missing Donovan Mitchell it’s not their fault but it’s just there is now no excuse and you know if it ends up being the Knicks if it ends up being the Pacers the Knicks are banged up and then the Pacers what they also have kind of gotten a little lucky because the Knicks were banged up and then Giannis and Jaylen Brunson so for both or excuse me Dame Lillard so for both of those teams Dame Lillard played in the elimination yeah yeah like Mitchell like he played a couple games missed a couple but uh at the end of the day it doesn’t matter you know the Celtics are just knocking these people down as they come at them is is it their fault that they’re beating the [ __ ] out of everybody and that they’re better than everybody no but people will definitely bash him because of how easy it has been the NBA feels like uh at least in some situations I guess I can’t just paint a full broad brush because I’m not paying attention close enough to everybody but this is a war of attrition on the East you know if you can survive if you can remain healthy you’re going to be in a good spot which is why I think the Pacers are so damn like optimistic and they feel very good about how they’re playing right now the health of their team right now obviously there’s people that are banged up you’re this late in I’s see you got 82 and then now a full playoff run there’s nobody’s going to be at 100% but it’s like who’s the healthiest seems to be a massive advantage in the NBA Playoffs we need keep an eye on that whenever we’re gambling for real well in the west that’s always the case in sports even obviously your Bruins are banged up you know Hockey baseball you know that yeah I saw rud do game five it’s tough man you took a shot playoff hockey shot you know it is tough I guys get injured and you want to beat you want to beat teams at their best but you know it’s part of the game joining us now is not in the NHL and he is healthy he’s better than ever we saw him this morning in his on clouds doing a full on yeah yeah set we couldn’t hear everything he was saying but he was saying that good [ __ ] ladies and gentlemen friend of the program ESPN Legend man have played high school basketball with LeBron James Mr Wendy Brian Wy Yeah Wendy how are you brother hey man I just had a weekend in Indie my first time in years okay how was it okay so Indie was awesome on Saturday night it was beautiful weather there was some concert of a group i’ never heard of at the at the Fieldhouse come on we got we got uh prom was going on we got dozens of very happy couples moving downtown but we got something happened in downtown Indie since last time I was there a big setback for the city in my mind and I found out the hard way the boms Steak and Shake ain’t open 24 hours anymore jeez no way that’s not real Is that real downtown Stak and Shake heartbeat of the NBA beat writer for decades oh no locked up I was like I was set back I was set back I’m still recovering from it okay this is the this is kind of the boo BS of Indianapolis are are kind of in shock as well about that used to be the you you go out downtown and then you all just kind of yep take the pilgrimage to Steak and Shake and that could be 2 3 3 34 I think Kyle Bush and I were in there at 4:45 a.m. one time getting an ice Burger uh one of those melts you know one of those melts with like Texas bread or whatever you bet and then they got in the fries with cheese oh yeah two types of uh two types of couples going to prom on Saturday night there were the couples that were going into St Elmos oh you know they were they were they were in a good spotl well and then there were the couples who filled Steak and Shake to the brim later on that night like that those are the people I wanted to hang out with but instead they were saying no Wendy get your fat ass out of here you can’t come here at midnight that’s unbelievable hey Stak and shank enough okay be who you are you can’t afford to be the people that close up at midnight and cont we’re supposed to host the biggest events you know why we’re able to do that not only because everything’s connected and you can walk everywhere but because Steak and Shake is serving Smiles all day all night all I’m mind blown wheny I think you might have caught it on a bad night maybe some uh huh I was I saw it several nights listen maybe on Saturday and Sunday but you know they they play Pacers games on nonat that’s it that’s it that’s the one locked up tighter than the drum Thursday night when I got in there titer than a drum there’s a petition as far as booze bags in Indianapolis and let me just say it was not received well and they do close it now it’s bad we we would like to apologize for that obviously Wendy by the next time you’re here we’re going to find a cheap burger place that’ll stay open all year all night for all of us let’s talk about some of the stuff that happened here uh obviously when you were in town the Pacers beat the [ __ ] out of the Knicks the boys are going to ask you about that that is a great thing I like where we are uh as a city for a potential parade coming to town now obviously the West is doing its thing let’s talk about the news that wasn’t in the playoffs that happened last night and it involves the family that Sports Center’s Instagram account has been kind of focusing on for the last four years LeBron James goes back to the Cleland Cavaliers he’s sitting Courtside Standing Ovation he’s got a bottle of wine under him some water a coffee having the night of his life the city of Cleveland Goes Bananas for him welld deserved just get from akan just get from akan welld deserved now obviously after he left there was some stuff between the ownership in him I I assume that’s all the way uh see why why was he there do we know why he was there was he getting uh was he jersey retired or something Wendy what what was going on here I will give you the answer I’ve been given and you can decide whether you believe that um I was told that it was Mother’s Day weekend actually it was Monday but Okay Mother’s Day weekend and Savannah and LeBron came back to akan to see their moms and so they were in town so they they took in a game they were the guests of Dan Gilbert the Cavs owner uh the carpet was worn out now here’s the thing so he gets there I don’t know anything about wine I don’t know if you guys are wine guys um we’re at second chck 3 A.M pal yeah yeah you know I think that speaks for itself in terms of me all right there was a bot bottle of wine under his seat and it had I saw it on on Twitter X it had something written on it I need some sleuth well I needed like that CSI where they go enhance yes enhance because so you know like somebody took a picture of it you could see that was written I want to know what was written on it but there was a bottle Opus One waiting for him he you know here’s the thing about LeBron if you know anything about LeBron the fastest way to piss him off is to be late this is a man who is obsessively on time but he was late didn’t make tip off he came in strategically some might say some might say it was traffic I don’t know but uh came in during the first timeout so he could make a grand entrance no at he did it on purpose Wy you better watch why you’re talking about the king Wendy King’s entrance I was I was told that uh his agent Rich Paul called the Lakers early in the day and like Hey listen just so you know LeBron’s going to be going to the C Celtics game tonight no big deal just don’t want you to be caught by surprise 10 years ago this is what this is as I’m watching the game two things are happening as I’m watching the game first thing I’m thinking about 10 years ago when he was a member of the Miami Heat he came to a Cavs game flew over from Chicago on a private plane because his longtime teammate Zuna s galus was getting his jersey retired was an off night this the the heat had a game on Sunday afternoon he flew over and I was told at that time doesn’t mean anything anything just respect for his teammate and a few months later he signed there okay the second thing was going on the second thing that was going on was I was having NBA general managers text me back my own meme text me back my own meme going what’s going on in Cleveland what’s going on in Cleveland so while on one hand um I think LeBron is always strategic and I do believe that he wants to remain a Laker and I have been told that um this was no big deal he was just in town to see family it does make you wonder because he knew that he would be on all the shows being today wondering what was going on well he’s LeBron James everything he does publicly is going to be talked about and uh speculated upon whenever you say LeBron James flew private I think you just get rid of the I don’t know I don’t know if he’s going into Southwest he going into any airports at this stage Congratulations by the way very expensive obviously let take the ozone take care of the ozone this entire thing let’s talk let’s go a little bit deeper here now he can opt out of his contract obviously with the Lakers he has until June to do as such I do believe from our last conversation uh what are the Cavaliers sit in the draft uh because now obviously sham shiran a friend of the program he’s talking about how the Lakers have basically said they’re they’re okay with drafting bronny I if that’s something you know that would not only entice LeBron to stay but also if it would make their team better and obviously they know he went to USC grew up in LA it could be a perfect situation for both parties I think he said second round or like late first what are the Cavs draft situation and uh is that falling into any of this thought process that you’re having about LeBron getting a warm welcome back in Cleveland whenever his future is potentially still in question well first off bronnie had a great day yesterday the first day at the combine you know we really hadn’t seen him play for months um he shot the heck out of the ball uh you know he didn’t shoot well at all at USC shot terribly from three-point range Now Grant these are drills but he really impressed Scouts he went 19 of 25 and this drill here was second best and that was very impressive secondly uh he has really added some some weight he probably played at USC 195 197 weighed in at 210 and definitely had added muscle uh he did uh measure in bare feet at 6 foot one and a half he was listed at 6’3 at USC I don’t think anybody actually belied it was 6’3 that’s not like yeah you NBA people lie all the time the NFL tries to make people as small as possible the NBA is like let’s put two socks on let’s get some shoes on let’s get the we want them to think these guys are as big as possible the NFL is like we want to be as Tiny as Tiny well nobody in the NBA is 6 foot n they’re all 6 foot1 nobody in the NBA is 6 foot 11 except for um uh Kevin Garnett always said six for 11 even though he’s like 71 you know nobody’s 61 you I don’t I’ll bet you won’t see one play player in the NBA listed at 61 they’re all 62 if not 63 I love that I love that I wish we could do that in the NFL I would have been 63 bombing balls it would have been fantastic yeah so but it was a really good day for him and I think he is you know we’ll see starting to do scrimmages tonight I think he’s trending towards getting drafted now you asked me about the Cavs and the and the Lakers the Cavs have the 20th pick I believe in the first round 20 21st pick Lakers have the 17th pick I am not a draft expert I am not going to sit here and Bs you and tell you I’ve watched film and all these guys to be honest with you I got so much going on with the playoffs most of these guys who get drafted I’m not going to have seen them play I learn them when they do summer league and when they get to the NBA I’m not gonna we don’t know any these D Alexa this gu’s a beast first five guys never heard of any don’t actually have seen I actually the guy who might get picked first Zar Rish I actually have seen him in person that was a strange oneoff I’m not I’m not gonna try to pretend like I’m a draft expert that said the the experts I talk to think that bronnie is a good chance Bron is going to get drafted I don’t think he’ll be a first round pick unless somebody’s making a move but I’m also going to tell you that anybody who says they know it’s gonna happen with bronnie right now they’re just guessing this is teams don’t know him teams haven’t got a chance to hear from him so this this next week and then workouts over the next three months or the next three weeks we’re going to know more about him you asked me that question in a month I’ll have a better answer for you so yes the question is like does does drafting LeBron does drafting Brony might make you have a chance to get LeBron like because that’s something the Cavs or another team would consider so rich Paul his agent is on the record this is not whispered sources said Rich Paul his agent is on the record as saying that that’s not the case that they’re GNA try to get bronnie into a place where he can worry about his own career that that is not something that you know you draft bronnie doesn’t mean you’re getting Bron etc etc but I assume most of us are fathers or some of us are fathers hell yeah we know what LeBron has said LeBron wants to play with his son now I don’t necessarily know if that’s going to happen this year I don’t know if he would walk away from a team I believe firmly he’s going to end up back with the Lakers and the Lakers are going to give him the contract he wants and they’re going to try to make a trade to improve the roster and they might even draft Brony but we know LeBron wants to play with him whether or not it works out I don’t have an answer for you today let’s just wait and see how things go oh Wy you’re supposed to give us unreasonable answers all right see you guys later I’m sorry hey go we see you st sh well it’s probably not even while while I’m talking about Indiana problems if the Pacers win two more games okay not a problem Conference Finals in Indiana goes over Indie 500 weekend I mean you guys what you guys are trying to GI your hotel rooms it’s getting we’re getting a little out of control here folks Wendy there’s 300,000 people coming to the city it’s 8500 there’s 300,000 people coming Wendy all right all right I I i’ done this before when the cows or when the Heat played the uh Pacers I learned all these rules about Indie on on Indie 500 weekend the race ain’t on TV like it’s 1947 I don’t understand why race AR on TV the race isn’t on TV everybody listens on the radio that’s what I learned secondly on Monday apparently there’s a 7-hour banquet hell yeah with all the racers and that is on TV and if you want to watch the other NBA playoff game and you’re in a bar good luck you gotta wait till after the banquet is over no no no so now that’s on NBC I do believe so now it should be now it should be with the where the rights are but no no no they they no it’s not not the channel they wouldn’t change it they no the ban stays on well when do we need to hear from the person that came in third to last yeah of course 500 their race their race ended quick we didn’t even get a chance to hear the sponsors they got to get up there and talk about winning you won $14,000 paid for two nights at the Courtyard by Mary all right let’s talk about the playoffs shall we and let’s stick with that particular series go ahead Ty Yeah Wendy uh in terms of Mavs and oh no I’m sorry Thunder okay I’m sorry yeah it’s all me yeah all good all good uh it seems like for whatever reason Kyrie and Luca are not on the same page or in terms of like neither one of them are both having a good night on the same night last time you were on here you said Luca uh you were a little bit worried about whether or not he’s actually 100% I think it’s fairly obvious that he’s not um are we concerned now at this point uh cuz after the last game it looked like hey Mavs they’re going to be just fine they’re going to take care of the Thunder but now that’s kind of turned a little bit do you expect the the Mavs to you know Kyrie and LCA to both play well on the same night and are they going to be able to take care of the Thunder or the Thunder you know potentially going to run away with this one well I thought so you know they were up like six or seven points at home in the fourth quarter last night I mean what’s the chances of the Thunder going on that run to end the game now I I have big respect for the Thunder Shay gildas Alexander is a killer in clutch time situations he did it to him again last night Luca okay so Luca is not playing well he had more turnovers than baskets last night he was grabbing at that right knee the whole game it also has to do with d l Dort put Brandon Ingram through hell in the first round he is putting Luca through it now that said nobody’s stopping LCA if he’s right like even if you got a great defender and you’re putting on the help defense Luca I think it’s a combination of great defense from the Thunder and lud dor is ahead of that and Luca is just not right and even Kyrie here’s something else the Thunder are kind of baiting the Mavericks into passing the ball to their role players and the maveri are kind of taking the bait PJ Washington he’s been making all these shots and it’s been awesome he’s been celebrated but last night he had 19 shots and Kyrie had 11 that’s a win I mean he you know you know obviously the Thunder had some egg on their face when he was making them in games two and three but they didn’t change their strategy they stuck with it they’re focusing on those two guys if they’re going to get beat they’re going to get beat by by uh by the role players and it didn’t work last night at the end of the game they couldn’t get a basket when they needed it Chad holgren Beast inside the the Mavericks are one of4 shooting when he’s the defender last night so like I think the Mavericks at their top end are the better team but I don’t know about Luca he he he looked he looked bad in game one looked much better in two and three and then last night was back down again and so I don’t have a feel for this series but I know that I I thought this was 3-1 I was ready to go to bed being 3-1 and and the Thunder pulled out 22 the video coming out of the M was walking to their locker room they they they felt it as well like you did the last time you came on the show you thought uh you said something about Luca not being able to hit that step back and then he came out and he did and he did it’s like that that injury seems to be wearing on him and you talked about PJ Walker he was uh Dallas’s leading scorer once in the regular season he has been Dallas’s leading scorer in each of the last three games okay Dallas hasn’t had a 30o scorer in any game this series yet and that’s a from hembo so literally as you’re mentioning like role players getting the Rock it feels like that’s a stat that kind of paints that picture perfectly and you’ve said a couple times now I don’t know hey Wendy we’re going to need you start knowing okay that’s why you’re here you’re you’re the you’re the Big Brain from omah you know that’s what we got going on uh Conor’s got a question for you about Boston yeah Brian obviously the Celtics are kind of rolling right now but one guy missing porzingis is someone that everyone in Boston’s looking for as far as you know hopes to win the entire thing are there any updates on him can we expect him to possibly play in the Eastern Conference Finals or is this going to be something that if the Celtics hopefully when they make the finals he may be able to join them for you know that running games in that series confident Indie guys asking about the next round opponent I see I see what you’re talking about not that Sak and Shake is closing up we might have lost our grit and our job here in the city I didn’t know that also the Pacer suck I love the I love the Celtics okay that’s right I’m sorry I apologize reved up all right so I was reved up you guys were rev up La so Al Horford has fight Center in this series against the Cavs and he’s done pretty well but he’s wearing down a little bit I thought he showed some wear last night against Evan Moy so first off uh porzingis was never playing in this series and i’ kind of be surprised if he starts the Conference Finals which could start either Sunday or next Tuesday depending on what happens with Pacers Knicks um so I don’t think I don’t think porz is going to be ready for the start of Conference Final the question is do the Celtics need them they might because uh the the Pacers play high Tempo uhuh and if the Pacers win this series they’re really deep that may give Boston a little bit of an issue because I just don’t know if Horford can play as a starter this many minutes but Boston especially Miles Turner doing miles Turner’s doing miles Turner’s doing windmill dunks yeah in the paint in traffic in windmill threes game chase down block at one game three buddy like that was his moment his best moment as a Pacer like that should be immortalized on a banner outside steak and shake when I get back to town on Friday okay immortalized it’s the second round Wendy jez how the Pacers done how the pac’s done since 2000 we haven’t seen too many shut up Whitney oh shut up you know the last time you’re in is when Miami was 8500 I learned about it when Miami was in town yeah we didn’t have the heatles okay we didn’t change basketball forever we just happen to meet them in the Eastern Conference Final back toback years that’s what the Pacers have done since 2000 and I was actually in building for those and uh feels like the city’s back behind yeah truly back behind the Pacers in a big way speaking of that particular series tone has a question for you yeah Wendy uh there is an ugly head that keeps coming back uh for tibs Coach teams and that is injuries late in the season and in the playoffs and it’s happened to the Knicks this year because and everyone knows tibs likes to his guys to play hard and play a lot of minutes what is the talk around the NBA circles about is this another situation uh where tibs is getting blamed for this there’s it just bad luck and how’s the NBA feel about uh the injury situation in New York yeah there’s some chirping about it because you know the Nick’s defense for all the minutes is like while our guys are hurt and that’s true like they definitely are missing some guys but the OG an anobi injury probably changed this series now the Knicks can still it’s a three- game series Knicks have two of them at home if the Knicks win this series it’s not at all surprising but OG aobi going out changed the course of this series and OG went out in my view because of overuse he had played the last four games before he blew out his hamstring he played the most minutes of any four games in his career and that injury look I’m not an athlete I’m not a doctor but he was running down the floor and his hamstring popped that that’s a use thing I think and so that you have you can’t you you can’t look at tibs and say that that’s not a factor that said these guys love tibs so much these I I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a team if I have it’s very small number where the players have such an appreciation for the coach and respect for the coach and what he wants and they want to do it it’s really kind of awesome to see it’s why the fans of New York love this team so much if they’re going to go down I swear to a man if they’re going to go down and it’s the way tibs wants to play I think they’re willing to go down the one thing I will say Obviously on Sunday when they had 36 hours between games the Knicks just didn’t have it you know huge Advantage Pacers so that’s why I would say oh D if the Knicks are gonna win the Knicks got to win five and six because Sunday it’s 36 hours again it’s Friday night and then they play Sunday afternoon for game seven the Knicks get a break because of Caitlyn Clark Caitlyn Clark is is get her first assist is to the Knicks she’s got gainbridge uh game Bridge is that gainbridge Fieldhouse on thday shut up the fever the fever got the game got the arena on Thursday night he ain’t moving that booking so they get two days off between games five and six so the Knicks get to play tonight at home huge huge moment one of the biggest games uh they’ve had in the garden in 20 years that’s no lie you I was joking about the Pacers Nicks can’t hold the candle of the Pacers done last 20 years 25 years that’s the truth he so and then they get two days off between now and game six I don’t like the Nicks chances on a short turn around game seven even in the garden so if the Knicks are going to do it if the Pacers get this to seven I think they got a good chance obviously they have a chance to clinch at home on Friday they home great opportunity but the Pacers can get tonight’s game and give themselves either a a chance to clinch at home or a chance to play the Knicks on a 36 hour turnaround it comes down to everything for in tonight really does yeah I can’t wait to watch tonight and I feel like the Pacers are buzzing and they won’t have Dale Davis in that Indie Car revving it up beforehand no no no but you get back he didn’t look he didn’t look comfortable in that car I’m not going to lie to you we all had the same reaction but we’re pumped he was there we’re pumped he was there uh all right last question for me and then dbut got one that I think you’re gonna you know maybe send some Ripple effects across the entire Sports media sham Shir you got booze in there you said it’s water that’s classic what booze bags would say it’s Opus One okay yeah you and LeBron started in high school and you guys are on the same team sham shiria just reported on FanDuel TV that Coach K has been hanging around the Los Angeles Lakers and secretly Consulting with the Lakers in their coaching search and then obviously the ties with JJ reick because he’s co-host with LeBron and that mind the game podcast is potentially just one big interview from LeBron to JJ reck where they can draw plays together and maybe do it what do you know about Coach K being around and is that directly mean that JJ reic with his backward ass hat is going to be the head coach of lers next year that is that is the first I’ve heard of that but um JJ is absolutely a legitimate candidate for that job and for a whole number of reasons whether whether it’s Coach K making the uh suggestion or not um you know Rob pelinka the general manager of the of the uh the Lakers when he was an agent he successfully recruited a number of Duke players so in addition to LeBron’s relationship with Coach K uh you know there was a lot of players that um Mike shashy said yeah you know I would recommend you sign with Rob pinka that relationship has been around for a long time so it that doesn’t surprise me even though I wasn’t aware of it but JJ’s absolutely a legitimate candidate for the job you know he is a co-worker of mine here at ESPN I have immense respect for his um for his basketball knowledge and and everything we’ve had lots of conversations you know behind the scenes um and if he wants to be a head coach I have no doubt that he could be a very good head coach this is a very hard job to take play an old team with high high expectations in a in the Western Conference where quite frankly yeah even if you had red hour boach in his prime well he never coached the Lakers let me take that back than if you had you know Mike Shashi in his prime it doesn’t matter what coach you had it’d be very difficult to be successful but one of the things that I’ve learned in 20 years covering the NBA is very few people can say no to the to the to the power of the L and so I think you know they’re going to interview other candidates for sure uh James bgo who’s a very experienced coach with a great background I think would be a very strong candidate but look I can understand why the Lakers would have interest in JJ I can understand why JJ would have interest and that would not surprise me at all if that’s the direction it went is he playing for him too if he might Jack has LeBron not needed his M Miller you know like has he has he not needed the and Coach is just over there down is it is illegal for it to be a player coach in today’s NBA oh you know what silver enough that’s D if a guy wants to coach play and own a team let him Jackie Moon his ass off out there now last question here from dbut to you Wendy Wendy speaking of some of your co-workers we had Austin Rivers Zone a couple weeks go ask him about the heat potentially moving on and getting another star and we heard another report coming from ESPN yesterday about Durant not being happy in Phoenix any possibility Durant heads down to South Beach and plays for the Heat next season so to be clear have not heard anything like that um the other thing I’ll say is which part which part did you not hear anything like I I have not heard anything about the Heat and Durant in the legitimate capacity I certainly if you could uh you know you could speculate but I’m just want to be clear the other thing I would say is the the big thing for the heat Jimmy Butler is eligible for a contract extension he’s got two years and a100 million left on his contract he is 35 years old he missed a whole bunch of games this year he wants the extension now now if the heat don’t want to give the extension which is what Pat Riley implied heavily uh in his end of season press conference is Jimmy cool with that because the last time he wasn’t happy with his contract he was with the Minnesota Timberwolves he asked for a trade so that’s one thing I don’t know what he’s GNA do but that is a big factor that a lot of teams are watching uh oh secondly the Phoenix Suns have come out and said the owner Matt ishia on the record that he doesn’t intend to trade any of his big three first off Bradley Beals and no trade clause so the suns are out there on the record this isn’t sour said or anything they don’t intend to trade those guys so the only way you could see action there is if it was player initiated so we’ll keep an eye on that but as far as I’m aware there’s none of that going on but certainly you know that is something to to keep an eye on because obviously it was a disappointing season in Phoenix it’s the NBA too that seemingly is how every offseason is y all of a sudden you see some clips from a rap concert there a couple NBA guys dancing in the crowd and then two days later holy [ __ ] at that concert a trade was negotiated it’s like went in between songs yeah right before the Encore yeah that’s whenever it actually it was negotiated steak and shake after the game well not in Indiana anymore what the hell’s going on are you coming back here for Friday’s game yeah I’ll be back there on Friday hey we can’t wait to see you come down and say hello I think we’ll be uh where you’re in the I don’t even know where the hell you would are you in is there a media area I assume where do you guys I don’t know how yeah and trust me in the back were you at were you gonna come to a game and didn’t come or did you come to a game because I was in the back and there was all this Whispering John melan Camp yeah John melan Camp was there yeah yes he was I saw him he was right to my right he had really cool boots on hair hair was perfect I and then he had a he had a toothpick in his mouth whenever they showed him up on the jump had a cougar jacket on uh like a leather yeah I think he did cgar on the back of it yeah the Pink Houses right yep exactly living were they talking about that so when you when you show up they’re gonna clear out the path for you well that’s not true actually guy Nam Ron that was a photographer who’s been there for 20 years who’s actually sitting in my lap the entire time but it was worth it guy gave me full play-by-play for everything it was uh I had a wonderful time see instant replays on the camera yeah I got to Tyrese gave me his seats uh Mother’s Day all came together last second I didn’t know what I didn’t want to I didn’t know how to play A Mother’s Day to be honest with you sure I had no idea what to do you took you took Brenda halberton seats on Mother’s Day you took Brenda’s seats easy no actually my wife who is also a mother was sitting next to Brenda halberton okay cool Brian oh Wendy aren’t you a hero yeah aren’t you just a hero with me listen I love the Hal Burton we bonded overse in in Abu Dhabi and Manila last year I just want to make sure they’re taken care Tanner was over there great convers I mean it was a blast I had an absolute yeah Sam just saw oh she just spilled her drink yep that’s what’s happening right there Sam just kicked her Red Bull vodka down oh no and I got on the photographer’s ass in front of us almost got on the court it was a full scene it was a it was awesome which one’s Ron uh gr here yeah Ron’s yeah the one right in front of me yeah that that was him he had great shots the entire time to be honest I didn’t turn around once I didn’t look anywhere I literally was just locked in having a good time focused you were locked in yeah we had to win we’re up by 30 you never know you don’t want to give that up in the NBA Playoffs especially in gridge now it’s all the way back hey Wendy thank you for joining us man have a safe travel back to our wonderful City thanks guys take care hey Steak and Shake might open up just for you from the traction I’m seeing on here maybe for you maybe for you not for me but for you they would no for you Wendy you just put them on blast I I I think I’m assuming this steak and Shake’s uh manager is gonna be like need to get Wendy in here for yeah what do you what’s your order there Wendy do you know you know what I hadn’t been to Indie since 2018 I don’t remember but that was our go-to so like we know I was just a little surprised when I arrived and it was it was all the lights were all on but the door was locked no I didn’t even know that door had a lock on yeah well there was some stuff that happened a few years back that every door in the city had to get locks a lot of them I see yeah it was hey actually very pumped to see Indie back there was a chance for like two years there was a thought maybe the city is dead because of everything was happening downtown in the stoppage of you know because we host events like I I would assume the Future Farmers of America aren’t happy that steak and shake and the firefighters that come every single year aren’t happy about been to Indie during the firefighter convention oh yeah oh oh yeah I mean they take over Indie doing it and they they drink every oh yeah they get every drop of booze in the town yeah so they Stak and Shake might have had an overwhelming amount of mustaches come in there one and say I can’t do this anymore so our City’s all the way back we’re very thankful for that I think the Pacers are leading great party same with Caitlyn Clark can’t wait for that and if you’re here for the n500 we need to get you out there you need to get on track you need to get in the yeah in the pace car maybe think they’re looking for I ain’t doing that I I’ll watch but I ain’t getting in that car you must be crazy I’m not doing that ladies and gentlemen Brian [Music] [Applause] wh I like Wendy cess he’s the man the best he’s got good Pizzaz you know like that that’s like the perfect thing for him it because that is kind of that took over then he even said we’ll keep an eye on it today I don’t know for sure well you just said I had not heard just wants to kind of clear the the pallet real quick what what other people are saying I have not heard personally he’s not really an Insider no he’s not really a pundit no he’s just like an analyst yeah analyst journalist covers the game just knows ball does he write too I yeah he started as a Cleveland play dealer great great writer wrote two books and they’re like wow this guy’s got so much Pizzaz we need to put him on camera yeah can’t just let his words be doing all speaking for this guy I need his mouth to do it exactly thank you Wendy great boy he was kind of he remember he had a great High School run alongside LeBron the boys that team was just so good was Wing back court yeah he’s three he was three I mean he tells you you know one B well every once on too when they played uh they took on the the Moon Township uh the Moon the Moon Tigers the Moon moons and it was Wendy versus AQ Shipley so he was playing Five that day I mean it was that was a lot of sweat a lot of meat still talk about the dent in the floor beneath the net after those two went to war yeah AQ and Wendy went up for uh you know one of those shots that just like rebound rebound yep rebound those two were J like King Kong and Godzilla down bang bang bang they each recorded one and a half rebounds then jump off yeah and then they both jump and know boom you know how they say like uh backboards break this one the actual floor windy and AQ were beat in the mid it was a good battle it was a good battle now obviously the Irish one a was AQ was uh taken out by Wendy I love Wendy he’s become very good on our show he’s man could we have ever guessed that I don’t think so I don’t think that would have been in our like predictions for ESPN licensing who is somebody that joins our show that we will like a lot Wendy I did not expect him to be the one unfortunately uh Ohio people do tend to do well on the program and he is an Ohio guy yeah deep time it’s true Austin Rivers also I would not have guessed that one yeah I likeus awesome yeah he just yeah he don’t he stir [ __ ] yeah he is the man so what and he doesn’t care he want the Duke too he’s got all that Duke Pride oh yeah did I there was a Texas guy back on the show yesterday Kendrick Perkins yeah yeah Perkin back Park was back he’s working a lot him coming here every week would have been night very impossible for him yeah when I was agreed to I am very thankful for it but that felt like that was quite a big expectation of a stretch yeah I don’t with how much he’s on TV in LA and in New York and in Texas where he lives it’s like that would have been a lot so hopefully we’ll be able to make something happen in the future but they’re working his ass off speaking of working his ass off off maybe he’s back cuz he’s another year older ladies and gentlemen friend of the program guy who played professional hockey for 13 to 14 years can’t do the Wikipedia counting it’s a little bit difficult so weird ladies and gentlemen PK hey are you doing TV again are we taking a month off because we turned another age or or what’s the what’s going on oh no oh I muted himself oh no yeah we can’t hear you hold on there you go can you hear me now uh I know you can hear me stop messing with me I know you guys can hear me but we couldn’t 100% but you we couldn’t though so we could have actually did that you know but now we can hear you and it’s too soon to the last time we did this too soon the last time we did this we won’t do it again Pat hold on I got you on the TV here so I had it muted so that when you guys called me you couldn’t hear yourself in the background oh see you’re a professional you’re a professional you work in this thing do you is that happening again are we working again or what’s going on I am working again we go here we go picking up another shift PK picking up a couple shifts here we go get back on the ice here we go here we go PK get back on TV T all right all right sightseeing tour is over we had a birthday party okay now we’re back on TV happy birthday happy birthday y it was great we appreciate you okay you’re back on TV good the NHL playoffs are cooking yep I’m ready to go what’ you do for your birthday you just went and saw every game that you give free tickets to it was it was an insane week I mean for a week that I took off from working I don’t know if I’ve watched that much Sports in a week I went Knicks Monday Rangers Tuesday Knicks Wednesday Celtics Thursday in Boston Bruins Friday in Boston Saturday watch both games on TV Sunday drove back home Monday went to the Rangers game so I’ve been all in that’s hell of a week and the Boston teams lost both games yeah well yeah and that be because you were there what is the um what was your favorite what was your favorite atmosphere is it going to be easy to judge or tough to judge here you’ll probably say they were all great they were all great but what is a that’s a hell of a week of playoff Sports there in a lot of like dream moments back to back to back what a week you had PK yeah MSG is just tough to beat this time of year uh New York has been going absolutely Bonkers over Rangers and Knicks so every time I step into that building it’s literally it feels like the Stanley Cup Final in there um everying SLE time the Rangers play and as it should be I mean why wouldn’t you be excited about being a New York City fan right now of sports so they they’re they’re being spoiled this off season I think they’re going to be spoiled even more because I think uh the Knicks are going to continue I think the Rangers are going to last a little bit longer but uh if not go all the way this year so I’d be excited to be in New York if I was in New York Rangers or Nicks f for sure yeah the Knicks are dead we know that uh so we don’t even have to talk about that but we’ll talk about hockey Knicks are dead not yet huh not yet they’re not dead yet the hoops this big for Tyrese Alberton right now and Miles Turner’s throwing up shots from like half court and their fall I mean the Hoops bigger right now for the Pacers you know and hey it’s coming back to New York right yeah it’s back in that Mecca that you talked about okay yeah we’ll see how that game goes okay well Friday we’re back in gainbridge out here in Indiana Indiana uh is going to be here Brian Wana let’s talk about that Rangers team though are you worried are you a little bit worried here now they could have put the game away instead let the uh hurricanes who are a very very good program kind of get back in this thing now all of a sudden it’s 3-2 in the series Carolina Hurricanes got to feel like they have momentum is this going to be a tough one to close out or you’re very comfortable with the New York Rangers you just said yes but is there any any worry to potentially be had here if you are in the Rangers dressing room well I said earlier on your show Pat that if the if Carolina you know didn’t win game three that they might as well start planning some golf trips and I still believe that I still believe that the Rangers are going to win this series I think that’s a very very tall mountain to climb can Carolina do it you’re damn right they can do it especially if they played the way that they played last night they dominated the last two games but I think if you are a New York Rangers Fan you need to listen very very carefully I think it’s a bigger issue them going into the Eastern Conference Final having swept the first round team and then kind of made making quick do of the second round team this adversity is good for the New York Rangers they need to elevate their their intensity level they need their desperation level to get elevated because I’m G to tell you whether it’s Carolina or it’s the Florida Panthers the hockey from here on in it’s desperation like every game every shift matters now there’s no freebies Washington was a qu a a quick tuneup round for them that’s not going to happen the rest of the playoffs so Carolina right now is find their game they’re finding goal tending I still think eigor shesterkin is going to steal a game and I think it’s probably going to be the next one they’re going to need his help in Carolina but I I think for the Rangers this exactly what the doctor ordered they needed a punch in the gut they need a smack in the face they need to wake up and realize they got to play their best hockey every night and they weren’t the best team on the ice last night but I still think it’s their series to lose okay Callis upop a little bit for them now speaking of calluses go ahead con man yeah PK obviously it’s been tough sleding since the last time we talk to you with the Boston Bruins and now with Brad Marian missing his second straight game obviously it does not look good you mentioned eigor Steel in the game probably going to need swayman to do that what were your thoughts on the Bennett hit on Marian after seeing the other angle here that they got two days later allegedly the NHL and that’s why there was no suspension or anything but what did you think about that and then what do you think the Bruins need to do with no Martian tonight again to get the job done and extend the series to game six well fans need to stop complaining first of all about that’ll never happen that’ll never happen hold on a second let me complain if someone’s going to complain let me complain thank shut up debug people need to stop enjoy the hockey the hockey is fantastic there’s nothing wrong with the officials they’re not going to make every call they’re going to miss some calls I like the no call on Bennett I do I like it because I didn’t think San could make that safe I watched I was right sitting directly behind Jeremy Swan I’m going to get to the marsh on in in a second okay but on that goal when Sam benett scored that’s a great call by the officials great judgment call so I like what the officials are doing every game there’s going to be controversial calls fans need to stop complaining let me do the complaining if anybody’s going to complain Brad Maron has gotten over on player since since he’s come in the league there’s been more moments of Brad marshan getting over on players than guys getting over on him this is an instant where a player gets over on him and you know what it’s a part of playoff hockey that’s the game within the game not everything needs to get called listen whether it’s on purpose or not some days you’re the hydrant some days you’re the dog some days you’re the windshield some days you’re the bug that’s just the way the game goes and not everything needs to get called I don’t want to be Ticky tacking all the time making sure that the refs the refs are human they’re not going to see everything so need to stop complaining stop complaining and just enjoy it I got no problem with the officiating right now okay you just got to get yours more than you get got though I understand you’re saying that but how about this Bruins team without him are they in uh are they yeah okay you’re worried we a bit worried for the boys up there in the beach I am uh I like the way pasta and the guy showed up last game to play but I I just think FL if you saw Florida there’s no Panic in their game this is a team that’s poised and and understand what’s being asked of them to get to that next round and ultimately reach their goal of winning a Stanley Cup these guy there’s no moment that’s going to get too big for this team I think they’re prepared for it and I know that for them there’s no option they got to close this thing out now you got to put Bost in the bed get some extra days rest I know Sam Bennett missed some time you got some other bodies some other guys that you need to get back uh you know making sure that they’re healthy and they’re rested for that next round because going up against the Rangers you’re going to need anything if it’s them or Carolina you’re going to need all your players you’re going to need to be healthy and that’s my only question with Florida is are they going to be healthy when they get to the next round they got to be healthy Florida Panthers fans are certainly confident now we’re coming up on a hard out so we do need to ask you about something that happened yesterday seemingly out of nowhere yeah PK what the hell’s going on with NuSkin in uh in Denver it seems like I mean is that something where that situation is kind of why they have just completely Fallen apart against the stars or do you know more information about that he’s suspended for what a long time months yeah long time and uh we no one really knows what the hell’s going on a lot of people speculating though well the NHL has been diligent and pretty Swift in in taking care of this situation and I mean the first and foremost it’s it’s sad when you see something like that you know because talented player this guy’s got nine goals in the playoffs I mean he’s a key cog in that wheel that turns in Colorado for that team to be a Stanley Cup Championship team he was a big part of the reason why they won the cup a few years ago um so they it’s an important piece to their team uh is this gonna is this the end of the Colorado avalanches run well it looks like they’re going to need every piece that they possibly have in that organization against Dallas the way Dallas Stars are playing right now but I I’m just it’s just really sad to see that the most important time of the year you know as a hockey player this is what you dream about is playing in these moments and you know to have these issues come up during the playoffs it just sucks because this is the ultimate time to be a part of your Brotherhood right it’s it’s it’s the most unselfish time of the year right it’s a selfless time and uh but when you have issues you have issues and I I hope for him uh you know that he gets the help that he needs because he’s too good of a hockey player too important to Colorado and we’ll see what happens but there’s no question at this time of the year you know you know there’s guys dying to get into the lineup and the opportunity to play and you got to be responsible off the ice so I I don’t have all the ins and outs of the story but for the NHL to come down that quickly and swiftly this is obviously something that’s happened before so I just wish Valerie nushin the best I hope he gets the help that he needs and we see him back on the ice soon me too see you next hour and we are in a conference room in a hotel that is the home of the annual League meeting it is wonderful down here in Florida Jim Harbaugh was showcasing to me why he doesn’t like the hip drop tackle he was actually wrapping his massive arms around me and then saying this is what we’re trying to get out Jim Harbaugh’s rules this is his business card that he gave me Jim Harbaugh’s rules to live by you guys are drafting Caleb Williams number one over all we’ll see congratulations congratulations you did it when RG3 comes out M you heard it yeah okay I think accuracy you know is the number one trait that NFL quarterbacks need to have penic oo okay I think accuracy is the number onea no K don’t give anything up hey you got a lot of Leverage right now I’m not sure if you know this or not but you guys are taking wide receiver in the first round is what I’m being told in and everyone he congratulations for doing that just the first round got 11 picks I thought the most impressive thing about it was a lot of people had the sense that this was going to happen and not one person uttered it it was a completely respect driven thing for Aaron to let him do it the way he needed to and wanted to because he deserved that obviously I nothing to do with the offense but I made sure I had a conversation with jamus every day just just for myself it was like self motivation are you a bobcat or or a deer girl boom okay that’s good news dear guys one two three all locked you think I don’t know that yet could jump up there who could Caleb Williams I agree with it one okay my guest would be Jaden Daniels it to and three there has been a lot of Drake May conversation here’s the thing these things sounds like you know more than what you’re leading Al right now do I think they’ll ultimately stay and make the pick at three my guess should be yes [ __ ] thank God Jesus Christ calls you that much ad I’m going to definitely see if I can find out some more stuff that would give you more heart palpa don’t need to be a prick I just want a quarterback so I can Ro for football again like that’s probably the case con man’s got a question for you yeah Chey uh excuse oh no I am so I am so sorry you know what that’s okay I don’t hold it against you can you kick one of those shoes up here he say R get your kids on there too that’s pretty we went to Venice and they had an artist draw on it in ladies and gentlemen

he was after the situation that happened in Colorado ladies and gentlemen college football national champion Super Bowl champion R Cup winner president of Ohio AJ Haw AJ Jack Johnson was quoted I wonder if they how many years he’s been in the in the league how many years uh I mean I I honestly don’t know 20 maybe1 that’s one of those situations where something happens it happened in the NFL a couple times and I literally spoke to the media zero zero times whenever Ra was a punter wasn’t asked to didn’t have to never went to the press conference then something would happen you know and they’ be like is there any way you could potentially uh go up there this over can you make smooth this over not say anything stupid for us please you potentially go represent here the locker room in

in two years but yeah they’re going to be asking about some stuff and you obviously know right yeah yeah okay so you will yeah yeah you got it no problem let me get up there all right I mean this is a whole organization pretty much that is a whole thing but Jack Johnson 20 years yeah 20 years he potentially was the one that they were like Hey listen do you have anything to say about the situation that just took place about an hour before a game starts it’s not a dude is out because of an injury uh dude is out for six months yeah it’s not just and this is an off ice thing and PK just talked about it it’s incredibly sad you know like that’s a sad thing to think that this guy is obviously going through something he can’t control himself in the biggest moments of the Year even if this has been something that’s obviously had to happened in the past if they’re if he’s currently in the program if it’s anything like the NFL program I was in for 27 months they drug tested me eight times a month for 27 straight months I mean it was a lot it was in detail whenever I left to go visit anywhere I had to give them an address I was headed to and two phone numbers they could reach me at so they could drug test me at any time brother and they certainly did I want big fooot hunting down in Georgia they drug tested me at 4:00 a.m. at a hotel motel on the side of the road out in the middle the woods of Georgia while I was Bigfoot hunting and the drug tester guy said to me I’ve never been told to test somebody at 4:00 a.m. what’s going on I said well I told him I was Bigfoot hunting in Georgia and uh I I guess they wanted to get I guess they wanted to get me I’d assume the NHL was very similar like I assume that there is a program that is happening he probably gets random drug tests that take place this is all me just speculating from my own experience in the NFL and then if one of those pops the next punishment is Boom a six-month suspension for us like first one another 3 months added another 6 months added another this suspension potentially like that’s how ours works I would assume the NHL has something similar and for this to come out hour before the game I mean this is that’s a wild situation in Colorado legitimately that is wild for a team that doesn’t have a lot of people that’s a that’s a small group that’s a good player and that’s obviously something everybody’s bummed out about AJ yeah do we do we have any idea the difference between like the NFL substance of abuse program or policy because they say he’s stage three what does stage three mean that just means six month suspension so so I was in stage one was like a thre Monon I thought if I AC stage one okay I’m stage a means that you don’t you don’t test positive for anything that I yeah no positive test I don’t miss any meetings with anybody I check in everywhere I do this entire thing like I stage one I was like all right if I pass stage one flying colors we’re not even moov in stage two good to go stage one was ending day stage one was ending I was driving back to Pittsburgh to celebrate beating stage one I’m on in Ohio I get a call from Dr Brown and he said congratulations you now mov in stage two it’s just like stage one but it’s for 24 months I’m like what why did I even do stage one I said why why why didn’t I just fail stage one would I’ve got the same things he because this is just how this goes or whatever and then he said that I should have puked at some point is what he said he said in all the stories you told from the evening you didn’t one say that you puked you should have puked at some point that means it was too natural too easy for you especially with where you were so you’re going to need a real thing now turns out 24 months was good for me it ended up changing my life certainly but I thought it was super serious I’m like that’s a pretty serious 24 months 27 months I gotta go I got to do this entire thing yeah you got to do that I stage one first inpatient treatment no penalty stage two for violation of stage one treatment plan suspension without pay during active phase of treatment and then eligible for reinstatement stage three for violation of stage two treatment plan suspension without pay for at least 6 months then eligible for reinstatement so this is two fails yeah yeah to get to to stage three and whatever they’re testing him for you would assume if it’s anything like what the NFL is like yeah the the NFL one sub self abuse program is built for you not to get out of yes that that is you are you are not supposed to get out of that guys have been in that and I learned of dudes that were in it once I got in it because obviously you’re getting tested on like the same days whenever if the drug tester comes to the building or whatever and it’s like I asked one of the guys weing I’m like how long you been here like four years I’m like bro cuz if you time out your fails it’s just like an extension but you didn’t but you got put in the you got put in the program because of uh an alleged arrest you didn’t fail a test or whatever like some guys fail a test and you go instantly go in the program so you never failed a test any drug or alcohol related charge you go into the program same program same program yeah so I I got a public intoxication which was definite the story in which they piece together alleged okay so there is definitely drunk in public certainly was trying they test you for Booze though are you tested for alcohol anything oh yeah oh yeah buddy how did like how how long does it take for to get out of your system well there was one time you see I thought I had them so uh so so I uh I got tested in Indianapolis on a Thursday okay so I’m like all right sweet have it at least until Monday because there’s no way they’re going to go back to back on me and normally you know You’ be good so I’m like yep I’m going to Vegas so I went to Vegas I had a Friday night Saturday morning boy 6:30 a.m. guy in lobby you a 4H hour period to test with you and I’m like oh no it’s like the first time I drank in like literally 10 months I know they probably hear that all the time but like for shoot so I actually went to um I went to I forget which spot I sat in a sauna for three hours and like 37 minutes or something like that it was just chugging water and everything and then I took that t that that piss was as good as clear I don’t know how they yeah I don’t know how they accepted it gu it I’m like thank you buddy and then we moved but I think as soon as I I was going to Vegas immediately after they’re like well y let’s go ahe and I traveled to Pittsburgh I got tested in Pittsburgh on uh I think that next Tuesday so I mean they thought they were going to get me that’s three though in a four five day period yeah so then you know how many times could they do it in one week was there a there was no you couldn’t do back toback days okay so back toback days was not allowed but they could do Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday they did Thursday Saturday Tuesday yeah yeah in three different cities Indie Vegas Pittsburgh that’s nuts yeah I got I got out though I got out no fails and that’s piss piss you know no blood thank God those blood ones were crazy they those got out of nowhere the hair too do they do those or no I don’t think so they don’t do hair I don’t think they do hair no that last cuz that lasts forever had a friend had a sweet friend big brain uh shaved his whole body for I like just like eyebrows everything take it all why did AQ do that was wasn’t AQ AQ yeah I mean he’s already he’s getting there but he he’s got a like a full this guy full body shave you walked in no hair not hair on his body this is how I am we’re going to need hair this we’re going to need hair well good luck pal good luck yeah I think you had to come back in a few days and it turns out it’s still in there you know it’s not just it’s not just what’s growing it’s not going in through the air yeah it turns out it’s coming Mak sense from the skin Mak sense Missin we’re joking about this but hey figure it out dude come on come on bro great player really good player man great players so last year he missed five games in the first round uh there was an incident where they found uh were called to his hotel room on the game day of the first round match up against the Kraken and they found a woman that was too intoxicated to leave the hotel room at his hotel room so there’s been a whole history with this where that’s probably where he got entered into the program but details have kind of been hazy ever since that happened all right well we hope he finds his way out of the program and uh you’re a good hockey player dude come on let’s not blow it where’s the shushin from do we know where he’s uh Russia originally um was it uh Texas hockey first round pick a couple years ago played a couple games with them bounc around a little bit but he’s he’s a great player like unbelievable Talent all right figure it out dude come on figure it out mom you do need you need you 6 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things especially if you’re able to figure it out I needed it it was a lot it was a lot but I needed it maybe this is something I’ll hopefully you know figure out in the Sho skin and uh speaking of somebody that doesn’t have anything figure out seemingly M he’s got a great mustache fantastic super tall yeah stopping dropping dropping dropping man yeah massive ass yeah huge lower P huge ass National Champion yep throws gas they call him the gas station ladies and gentlemen Pittsburgh Pirates Ace Paul [Music] SKS what’s up H what’s up guys how do you feel about the gas station and maybe gas has two s’s in it too you know what I mean so it’s like the gas station cuz you’re throwing gas and you have that massive ass that the Pirates posted on uh social media how do we feel about it we working with it we uh brainstorming still do we got any thoughts on that yeah I see what you’re doing there I don’t mind it I I never heard that one okay the gas station cuz guess what’s coming gas gas [ __ ] gas never runs out premium all right let’s talk uh about your debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates obviously we all Watch Seven strikeouts you pitch for four innings one run against she left you on that goes in erra is what it is but they’re talking about historic debut for you what were your feelings I don’t know if you saw all of Pittsburgh loved what they saw from you from what we’re Gathering from our friends back there how were you feeling when he got out there and what was it like your uh first day in PNC yeah it was cool um that was my you know first time being in the in the stadium for a game in The Dugout for a game um you know and walking out there and you know getting the the crowd into it and all that like it it was it was just cool from uh I mean surreal just from the beginning it was it was an awesome day okay was any nerves you know like when you’re warming up there and Q Country Road is hey come and take me home what a banger but I I learned of that from your playoff song He’s from morg West Virginia I want the WVU so like I should have known about that song as a banger but there is people recording your warm-up and that song’s and I’m watching the video I’m like what a perfect what a perfect warm-up song are you taking it all in are you in a different world what is it like whenever you’re doing your warmups there for your first major league game yeah that hearing the song I I thought about that for a while thought about you know the song I was going to use um and I’m you know that’s the song I’ll use going forward um and and I didn’t really think about what the moment would be like but like warm it up and hear and that and the crowd and everything it was it was really cool I wasn’t trying to take it into too much just cuz I I feel like that can get you kind of out of it a little bit um but looking back that that was a really cool moment hell yeah go ahead AJ what’s it like uh trying to get comfortable like pitching to to many different like catchers I guess and just like the logistics of of being CAU up here you go opening day I assume you haven’t really pitched too much to to any of the catchers there on the big league roster what’s that like is it tough I know some guys are very particular about what they want their catchers to do and how they want them to be yeah there are a lot of conversations that go into that um and uh Grand doll is is the guy who caught me um and I had a lot of conversations with him in spring training um you know when I was around him and then you know kind of Silver Linings a little bit he was on a rehab assignment in Triple A earlier this year um which you never you never want to see but um being able to get that uh you know that experience with him I I threw to him I I you know talked with him about what what I was thinking and targets and that kind of thing um so it wasn’t the wasn’t the first time i’ thrown to him um and we had a little bit of a rapport going into the game Paul I’m so happy you’re in a pits Pirates organization I am so happy I mean I don’t know if you know this I was not a baseball fan when I was born to the time I had a brain all the way through like having Memories the Pirates were terrible at baseball the only thing it was was going to PNC Park and hopefully if they win that’s a huge plus yep huge plus and then we get Zan belly fireworks afterward now like people are like wait a second this could be something special especially with you in a young group sparking it go ahead tone Pirates fan yeah Paul uh you and Jared Jones the Hondo boys um also a rookie also has been incredible and started the season up with the club are you guys leaning on each other how much uh did you talk to him before your first start since he had his first start also this year what’s the relationship like between you two yeah I didn’t know him too well before uh before this offseason really um and it you know it’s kind of grown into a pretty good friendship pretty quickly um you know we were together for for most of spring training while I was in Big League camp and um obviously this is his first go around too um you know with with being in the big leagues and everything but he’s done it for you know a month and a half longer than I have so being able to you know pick his brain about what the you know the Vibes like and the expectations and everything like that for a guy who’s you know been there done that a little bit um it’s it’s awesome I know it might be a little bit different right now on the screen because you’re looking at a grown ass man you know but aside yeah I don’t know if you’re a little scared right now you know what I mean I don’t know if you’re a little scary enough I’d even Flex the tricep a little bit let you know that you know let you know the Horseshoe is working you know he’s po don’t you even think about letting anything hang but aside from that is there anything else Tai has a question for you yeah Paul obviously it’s only been one start um but in terms of just like adjustments or you know like the differences like what did you notice the the biggest adjustment or difference was from pitching in triaa to being in the bigs I don’t know um and I think to an extent the uh I don’t want to call that outing a wash but like it’s such a a different and like interesting outing um just because there’s so much other stuff going on there that it’s it’s a little bit hard to kind of drown it all out like it it you know a major league debut is is a major league debut um and so I don’t I don’t know exactly what what you know in terms of like the adrenaline and everything there it’s so hard to to kind of drown it out um so I don’t the hitters are definitely better um you have to be finer for sure um in terms of how you attack them and that kind of thing but um I don’t know you’ll probably have to give me a couple more outings for me to give you a definitive answer on that I appreciate everything like the way you go about doing your business is hilarious we I’ve told this story a couple times to people back in Pittsburgh who went and watched you and were like hey this dude is as advertised that that is what they this dude is just and I I tell him like yeah all ball too like this guy is just all baseball you only want to get better and better it feels like from when we talked to you whenever you were here we told you about the Indianapolis Zoo which is beautiful which is literally right next to the ballpark in which you were playing at for the Indianapolis Indians and you didn’t even know it existed because literally you throw balls and then you were napping and then Livy uh the video announcing your reaction is when you both wake up from an appp and realize that he’s now in the majors it’s like this dude literally just sleeps and does baseball is that the mindset for what the next your whole life like what why do you think you’re like this and is this going to be how you are you think for the for the foreseeable future yeah I don’t know um and I think that I’m I’m young and like I you know the cool thing about being here is they’re you know 35 year olds who have played for a while in the big leagues and they all kind of say the same thing it’s like you can’t just be ball and and sleep like kind of how I am right now but I think I’m young enough and like new enough to it to where I can get away with it and you know be fresh every day and show up with a fresh mind and that kind of thing I don’t think that’s how it’s going to be forever um you know people always you know do you golf or anything like that I’m like I don’t golf I don’t see myself golfing ever but I know I got to pick something up at some point at some point they tell me I got to do a hobby do you play cards you play cards I’m starting to yeah that’s a that’s a good one okay there’s a little mental vacation quick you know a little refresher and you’re still competing you know and camaraderie building lot of cards is a good is a good hobby to pick up I assume with the amount of time you guys are going to be on the road as well there was something that took over all conversation of all the baseball nerds dbot got a question for you yeah maybe pick up some gaming too I’m a big MLB the Show guy something I didn’t know existed the spinker you know I know not many guys throw that and you do definitely do how did you get that Into Your Arsenal yeah I mean I kind of laugh when people call it the the spliner it’s just it’s that’s a name for a pitch like um one of our guys Henry Davis came up with that during during spring training or uh during the offseason when he was catching me and it’s like I I’ve always called it a sinker um on the scoreboard and Stat cast and that kind of thing they’re calling it a splitter um and you look at like the metrics of it it’s not a true Sinker it’s not a true splitter um I don’t know it’s it is what it is I I literally just came about uh you know finding that pitch just by playing around and throwing it and catch play one day and it kind of stuck what does it do so what what why why do they say it sinks and it splits this thing’s moving this thing’s moving twice right now like I’m a righty I’m a righty right now so what is this pitch doing is it coming towards me is it away is it going down is it going out does it change every time what is that pitch do that has everybody kind of uh befuddled we’ll say yeah from what I’ve heard um because I’m a low slot so you expect the ball to kind of go uh you know arms side with it and maybe you know maybe ride a little bit too um so what I’ve heard from all the catchers and and the hitters that have faced me that I’ve talked to after is that it kind of just goes straight down um which isn’t you know sink or you expect it to go down and and arm side too and the way they see it is it just kind of goes straight down is kind of what what uh what I’ve heard you know I would just Bunch you the whole time that’s what I would do the whole time are you uh hey I don’t know sorry about this I had to step in a batter’s box with top pitching Prospect in the history of baseball I mean have to abuse uh have to abuse the situation the beautiful Stadium yeah so I apologize for you know kind of taking it in the batter box there and I did get a hit I’m on base so I’m uh bat thousand against Paulk it’s right here yeah it is right here on this entire thing uh we talked to Shan Casey the mayor he’s a Pittsburgh native he played for the Cincinnati Reds for a long time I think he played for the Red Soxs for a while he’s been around he’s a hidden coach for the Yankees he said that he thinks and I don’t know if you heard this or not and there’s people I guess throwing um Mason Miller no in Oakland yeah in Oak he’s throwing like 103 104 I guess have you ever thought about what top end potentially could be as your body continues to grow and everything like that and what do those conversations look like I don’t know I haven’t thought about it uh the one thing that I you know do as best as I can is not put a ceiling on it um and vo isn’t you know V is cool but it’s not everything um and I think at some point if you you know you can chase v as much as you want but it might start to take away from other things is kind of how I look at it like which isn’t which isn’t to say I don’t want to throw harder but I’m you know I’m kind of happy with where I’m at yeah I think it’s doing just fine pal cannot wait to watch it continue to evolve speaking of evolved the game is doing so techn technologically but not in the majors Connor has a question for you yeah Paul were there any uh calls while you’re pitching that you went to you know challenge like you could with the Indianapolis team that plays baseball here or were there a few I know you’re talking you guys know talking they play next to Indianapolis name I’m just saying name tell me not to say their name jeez disrespect got guys’s got a cowboy hat on but uh SK were there any were there situations where he wanted to to challenge him or were you just kind of good with the calls I was good with them uh I don’t know I didn’t uh pay too much attention to which ones uh you know they they missed or anything like that you can see that after the inning or after the outing um in The Dugout but um I I I like the human part of the game there’s no point in I mean you’re never in the history of baseball has a called strike or a called ball gotten overturned so there’s no you know it’s just the game and I I love that part of it yeah you gave that answer to us about how you think framing catch or pitches is a big part of a job you used to be a catcher which leads me to Jeff passing’s 2:30 a.m. list of questions potentially for Paul schemes okay okay so our friend jet passing warms up the jet he covers baseball for ESPN uh we talked to him yesterday and I said hey if you have any questions that baseball people would ask Paul skines go on and send them over now sounds like you’re already on a good nutritional plan that’s a super alkaline uh plus seven I believe water that’s your Dre pH L there love what you’re doing love what you’re doing young age take care of your body he said and on that note about being an ex- catcher could you play catcher today if the Pirates asked says jet passing let’s say there’s a game we don’t want want it to happen no no ever but you need to play catcher you think you can still get your big ass down into that stance and uh make it happen for the Pittsburgh BS a couple home runs guys I’ve been on this for a while um and I was trying to tell our manager in tripa how good I was at catching and and he doesn’t believe me and I don’t for some reason there’s no video anywhere that I can find of me catching so need somebody to find that but I I I think I can um nobody ever believes me when I tell them that I was a catcher but uh I think I miss that just as much as I miss hitting okay damn I think he won the if I remember correctly the John olude two-way player award or something like that if I remember correctly for catching and pitching I think in which state I think that was California that no I believe that was a summer league up in the New England area if I League maybe is that right Paul uh no that was the college season whatever that a uh speaking of um College season um did you really turn down I’m not asking this question not these guys are pro now pass we’re not talking ni money jet pass why we going back in time spaceships don’t come equipped with rearview Mir they dip um uh only one other guy in the world Joan Duron throws the spinker that you throw how did you pick up this new pitch since College I think you might have answered that but have you talked to Joan danan about the pitch and you talk to other pitchers about pitches that you could potentially add in to your bag Paulk yeah uh funny thing the pitching coach we had at LSU last year is’s the head coach at Georgia now uh he was with the twins so he coached Duran and he coached me and there’s no correlation there I don’t think with the with the spinker but um kind of a Kind of a Funny thing there uh again the the sink I call it a sinker um statcast I think calls it a splitter like it it’s it’s just a name to me um and he throws his like 10 miles hour harder than mine probably like uh so I don’t even I don’t know that it’s the same pitch I think I got a ways to go before it’s you know a spinker like his okay so you know okay I appreciate the humility and shout out to Joan Duron and uh pitch and everything like that do you guys pick up new like will you pick up new pitches as you go or will a ball just start traveling for instance Matt Prader who’s a kicker uh I assume still in the NFL I think he’ll probably kick forever there was his ball just started doing like a like a little bit of a slice and I asked him I’m like uh how’d that start happening why’d you start doing it he was like ah it just started happening one day like it literally just started happening so now I got to play it is there like different pitches that’ll show up whenever you’re practicing that’s like oh I didn’t know I could do that with the ball or how do you add on to your bag of pitches yeah that’s literally how I found this Sinker I I was trying to that was one of the projects that I that I had when I got to LSU last year um and you know to to start throwing a sinker because having two fast balls is always a good thing as a pitcher so I was doing that and kind like I was I was trying really hard to you know make that happen I guess and I was throwing basically the difference is I was trying to get it off my middle finger then and I’m trying to get it off my index finger now and I literally just found the index finger Cube by just playing touch and I was just wasn’t fooling around but I threw one off the index finger that you know really Dove and I was like all right I’ll I’ll just keep doing that and I’ll keep trying to do that and I think as you as you come up with pitches it’s it’s a lot of fooling around for me um you get ideas from other guys and and what you see um but you know you got to just kind of fool around with it a little bit God that had to be a great day when that thing just starts going like think about mariana rivera when he found that cutter oh what a day mhm what a day I don’t know how old he was he threw it though and somebody was like yeah nobody can hit that all right I’m going to do this this is what I’m going to do yep rest of your life you are good to do I still think we should add the knuckle ball something to think about Paul maybe with your left hand you get the glove that goes on the other side you knuckle it with that left hand really throw him for a loop Tai has a question for you Paul yeah Paul I can’t remember if you told us whether or not you were superstitious when you were in studio but have you locked down like a pregame meal before your starts yet I know you’re a big son of a a [ __ ] so I don’t know if you’re eating you know 15 20 turkey legs you know some mashed potatoes couple Ice Cold Pops maybe have you kind of developed something that you’re eating before every start or no yeah chicken alfredo before every start I got some some crap from some of the guys before my last one because I just had this you know ginormous plate of chicken alfredo u a couple hours before I was you know going to pitch and you know they’re basically telling me they they won’t even make it out to pitch they just be sitting on the toilet if they ate that before before their outing but that’s just that’s what I do every every outing helps me you know keep my energy yeah roll the dice with a dump too that can really you know that can get you that can tighten it up a little bit whenever game gets a little bit longer go ahead AJ Paul speaking of like the the spinker and even any other pitches that you have picked up along the way how long from just figuring that out you know playing long toss or soft toss with your buddies to hey I’m going to use this in a game or spring training like matchup like how how long does it take to where you feel comfortable think all right I’m going to try this against some live batters depends on the pitch I think um because I started throwing my curveball during the season last year when I went into the college season last year I was fast ball Sinker slider change up um and we found pretty quick that it wouldn’t be very smart to throw my Sinker uh because that’s you know usually a right on right pitch and and they were cheating to to get to the fast ball so it was kind of just a bad speed pitch for them um but then third or fourth week of the season last year I started fooling around with what I wanted to be a gyro slider ex also throwing the sweeper basically have something that that was in the middle between my fast ball and the and the sweeper that didn’t move quite as much uh horizontally um so I I I threw a gyro slider my freshman in sopn year of college and went back to that queue on that grip um and it was uh it ended up being a curveball and blocked it locked it in in about three days and started throwing in games uh probably three or four days after I you know first started throwing but that that’s not always how it goes yeah well that gyro slider though once you get that thing and then a sweeper comes by game holy [ __ ] you know and then once you have it you got it yeah and then you have the knuckle oh yeah with the left hand yeah you need to start working in the left-handed knuckle I I don’t even are you allowed to pitch both hands same at bat oh yeah yeah same at bat no yeah there used to be a guy who his glove was webbed on both sides and and he’d flip from you know one pitch he’d throw right-handed next pitch he’d throw left-handed really I he wasn’t playing in The Bigs I think he played like kraton or something like that and he wasn’t throwing very hard but he he did both gosh could you fat I mean Paul let’s take this to the next level let’s start throwing with both arms you know you just started throwing a hundo with your right arm a couple years back which is why everybody in Pittsburgh is so damn excited this guy’s just getting started in this entire just getting started and when you started you decided you wanted to do it the right way too we learned about you donating to the Gary sise Foundation $100 per strikeout $700 already donated after his first four innings in the majors and uh we would like to let you know before you even open up about why you chose to do this which is an incredibly cool thing that the current record for a nine inning game is 20 strikeouts okay if you get to 21 we’ll donate a million to the uh to the the same Foundation for you so if you get 21 strikeouts in a n inning game okay cuz there’s a 16 iner in the history that I got 21 there’s a couple what’s that power let him it’s a new day obviously we’re just saying if we get to the situation it’s a perfect game where we need one yeah absolutely 21 is right we’ll donate a million bucks to follow this but why’ you choose to do this and uh thank you for doing this this is a cool thing Paulk yeah thanks for the shout out with that guys um yeah it was it was something that we did we did I I worked with uh folds of Honor last year at at LSU kind of doing a similar thing wasn’t it was $10 for strike up uh B but um really you know I I I was at the Air Force Academy for two years and that uh had a you know profound impact on my life that um you know continues now uh I miss miss those guys and and you know the people that I was talking with some people yesterday because there was a tweet came out about the uh the planes that we flew to two away games and so I got asked a lot about the Air Force Academy yesterday incidentally but um no it’s just the the people that you’re going to meet there uh the people that I met and everything that that I’ve um you know gained from being from there is is just unbelievable and so um obviously I’m not there anymore yep that’s the one um and obviously I’m not there anymore but uh just trying to find ways to give back to to that community that done so much for me that’s awesome uh it’s incredibly cool you didn’t have to do that you chose to do that there’s a lot of people that say they would do that and don’t actually do that so you putting your money where your mouth is is sweet we’ll donate 100 alongside of you and then uh for every strikeout and then if we get 21 nine innings though hey okay you got it let’s not be doing 10 11 inning no okay we can’t be nine a million bucks wide on top of it keep crushing it we’re incred

the uh the fake ass khakis do that uh the angle but I mean it wasn’t the Pat is that you’re saying it’s the pleet no I’m just saying it was khakis tended because that guy on the internet wears khakis all the time that’s he’s not doing that just for fun um SK has a dumper okay that’s the bottom line here these guys in The Bigs yeah who who throw gas massive ass on all of them all right and they just seem to go and they go on and on and on and on all right well thank you to Paul SK best pitching Prospect they said in I don’t know forever since Steven strawber for real that was the last one who was kind of similar and he got drafted like I think 15 years ago so where’d he go Washington y he yeah and went to Arizona State through against the Air Force in uh incidentally in his last game he threw like a no hitter had 17 strikeouts all right baseball’s happening 175 more games for every team that guy will pitch another 24 times we will certainly be paying attention when that’s taking place let’s talk about big news in the NFL that took place overnight the Detroit Lions continue to dig into this Vault of money that they have found investing in a team that has brought them more happiness than potentially any Detroit Lions team has in the past Jared gof has signed an extension with the Detroit Lions 170 million guaranteed on a 4year deal now everybody remembers that when Jared gof was traded away from the Los Angeles Rams to the Detroit Lions due to a vacation in Mexico in which Mattie Stafford and Shawn McVey and Andrew Whitworth and Jay Glazer and Drew Brees were all having the time of their lives and decided that they needed to work together Jared gof was kicked out of town one of the big reasons why the Detroit Lions ended up with Jared GF is because they were willing to take on the tab in which Jared gof was being paid which was like 30 million a year every body in the NFL a lot of fans like who’s going to take a $30 million cap hit for Jared goof nobody wants that guy now here we are a few years later the Detroit Lions are NFC favorites and Jared gof just signed for another $170 million what a glorious tale hell yeah what a Detroit glorious tale of two things coming together being perfect for each other Evan Fox this was an absolute no-brainer worth every single penny first quarterback in my life for the Detroit to win the NFC North and to win a playoff game won multiple playoff games and Pat when we were at the draft you made a really good point Detroit doesn’t have a chance but they do now with Jared Goff it literally is just his name Jared gof Jared G and they’re not just doing that fordfield they were doing it at Little Caesar arena for Red Wings game they were doing it at the draft I love this I’m so happy for this guy and yeah like now we’re set four years of Jared golf four years of Happ having a Super Bowl window it’s awesome what’s wrong Conor why you Conor shaking his head THS over no no no no in a good way like like the words that just came out of Foxy’s mouth if you were to tell me that that’s how that it would turn out for Jared go after the Rams I would have said you are the most insane person on the face of the planet he just said thank God for jarro Goff and that that was a dream when what’ you guys go his first year three and 14 yes we started out 0 and 10 legitimately thought we were going to go 0 and 17 in Jared’s first year another reason why I love him so much cuz you just stuck it out and he now he’s a fan favorite everyone loves him Holmes mcdc Jared gof that’s Detroit Lions football AJ and the NFC North is going to continue to have the wagon moving through the Motor City I mean look at the NFC North getting better and better I I okay what with foxy and how Juiced he is I’m just wondering if this went another way let’s say they tried to lowball him let’s say they didn’t try to give him this gigantic contract which I think he absolutely deserves would you be up in arms going crazy if they couldn’t figure this out yes I would be because this is one of my favorite part of what the brand new lions are doing is they’re doing everything correctly they’re treating everyone right they gave St Brown a deal they gave Su a deal they mended fences with Calvin Johnson they have done everything right the draft an absolute success and now you got to pay the guy that absolutely deserved it one you playoff game one NFC North one of the best quarterbacks that or successful seasons for a quarterback in Lion’s history at this point well Hey listen we’re celebrating you don’t have to do your backpedal there yeah didn’t I love Matthew Stafford so I didn’t want it to make it sound like I already jumped [ __ ] from Stafford I love him this doesn’t happen way more than Stafford has well actually I saw a bunch of stats uh with Warren sharp uh put out and it’s like since trade Stafford with LA and golf with Detroit there’s a lot of Statistics that you can find that are like hey used do the same exact guys like this is the same exact situation that’s taking place and once again back to your point 3 years ago this was not the story being told no 3 years ago four years ago this was not how this was being talked about and remember mcdc was a big dumb dip [ __ ] remember how stupid he was four years ago in everybody’s eyes around a sports obviously now that you know our show we were not on ESPN at the time we were on the internet we obviously loved mcdc press conference if you haven’t seen us react to it literally day of it is exactly how you think it would go us with him speaking the way he is but they were mocked and ridiculed and buried and not that the Detroit Lions weren’t already underground from being buried by the rest of the NFL and the media for the last 30 years but it was like this is the dumbest they’ve ever been and now they’re their fans look they’re looking forward to Thanksgiving games they’re looking forward to you know Prime Time games every single week seemingly It’s a Brand New World up there and that’s power of the NFL I mean you love you love to see this and it’s not like you know Jared G is this this under dog story kind of seems that way but he was a number one pick went to Super Bowl I think on his rookie deal um but for what he’s done going to the lines everybody thought hey this is going to be a bridge guy set up for that next quarterback so for him to turn this franchise around be a big part of turning this franchise around then getting another big deal I think he’s only 29 too which is kind of surprising seems like he’s been in the league uh forever but still you know uh younger than 30 so you expect him to get another deal and then it’s kind of sets up for the other quarterbacks out there that’s going to get paid you know soon that you expect to get paid that tool Jordan love you know all these guys are are definitely chomping at the bit but love to see this with jerck go definitely deserves it in his film for the last few years I mean it’s been phenomenal that that offense and he’s got his offense coordinator again Ben Johnson scking around for another year so they got all the trick plays they’re not scared to use them they got the power running if you need it they have all their weapons and added to it back it’s like the Detroit Lions are for real and if you’re in Green Bay you’re not worried at all uhoh but that’s awesome that the lions are for real like it is but again I said it in Detroit I’m not over here like oh my God the lions are so good okay they are good that’s great and I’m happy for foxy cuz they’ve been sucked for a long time a long time you’re very good at that I try uh I’m not worried about it you know they embarrassed the Packers at Lambo early in the season and then what did the Packers do they embarrassed him on Thanksgiving Day beat the [ __ ] out of beat the abolute [ __ ] out so again I’m I’m not going to I’m not going to be backtracking I again the Lions have a couple Iowa guys who are also instrumental in them you know turning things around so I I appreciate that I love that you mention guys getting paid guess who Jordan loves agent is who’s that Mr mulig oh my god wow they’re gonna have to give him a percentage of the talent Jordan love is going to be the first quarterback to be making $125 million a Seaton I think so and they’re going to guarantee him maybe a billion dollar contract and I’ll I’ll pound the pavement for it if mullette is you know the one doing the negotiating we we just assume it’s going to be the highest the position’s ever seen he got 170 million guaranteed right there that’s 60 million less than the Shawn Watson that’s right and guaranteed money 60 million less you that’s that was that was literally my first thought as soon as I saw it I’m an [ __ ] that what a contract yeah absolutely and you think about all Jared Goff is done for Detroit all Jared he changed everything he’s changed the whole world there everything’s different now hey we were when we were at the draft everyone was wearing Lion’s gear everyone had jerseys merch you name it it wasn’t always like that it was actually frowned upon and you were looked at kind of like a loser if you wore Lion’s gear that’s what Jared Goff has done for Detroit thank you Jared thank you Jared they want the Jared yes they did yes they did let’s stick in the NFL we have some games that have been leaked by the networks which will be broadcasting them obviously 14 days from now September 5th the Ravens will travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in Banner night September 6th in sou Paulo Brazil the Packers will have to find a Runway long enough to get a plane out of town to take on the Philadelphia Eagles then in Tom Brady’s debut broadcasting game we assume at the 4:00 slot Cowboys will be taking on the bronze on Fox and then Monday Night Football week one is the New York Jets taking on the San Francisco 49ers who are obviously uh in Santa Clara that should be a Romus atmosphere and fantastic we’re going to learn a lot about Aaron Rogers in the Jets there in week one and also about the Niners returning we also know in week uh two actually the first Thursday night football game Bills Dolphins will play a AFC East rivalry will kick off Kirk herb Street Al Michaels Kaylee hard andw Whitworth Richard Sher Tony Tony Gonzalez terissa Thompson Mar Lynch Ryan Fitz Magic Michael Smith uh Taylor we’ll have an incredible year to start with the bills and the Chiefs and then also week two the Bengals will take on the Kansas City Chiefs so Joe burrow and Patrick Mahomes will battle in week two uh and all those other games will be week one tomorrow night the schedule will be fully released on ESPN and ESPN plus we did reach out to our source S at the league office and say he give me like a low profile one you know just like one week and make a big mockery out of like a week seven you know because everybody else is seemingly leaking this [ __ ] and then I got the quick mention uh these are from the networks that paid billions of dollars they’re the ones that are getting the first game oh okay we didn’t know if we were just potentially we don’t know if you can send one this how do they choose what to leak how do they choose or how do they get to choose which games they leak it’s the the it’s the network doing the so it doesn’t matter like the Le do you think the league frowns upon it or the league knows what’s going on no I I I think that that’s part of the song dance the buildup yeah here we go let’s just keep dropping little let’s just keep dropping little ones then boom we’ll drop it all tomorrow yeah like Ravens Chiefs it’s like oh [ __ ] we’re in schedule release time and oh [ __ ] that’s a great game you know like that is it’s a brilliant idea that’s why we called our source S at the league office and we’re like hey can you just give us some game just give us some game that we can just act like it’s a big deal and then say hey schedule releas is coming they’re like absolutely not we signed ndas we’re not allowed to do it I mean we’re on we couldn’t get like a cardinal commanders money Night Football that’s what I’m saying like you just give us some game you know like something absolutely not it was like one of the fastest no yeah okay yeah the people that are getting this information have paid uh billions of dollars to leave okay whatever okay we just wanted to talk about week nine yeah Colts Patriots yeah something going on over there in uh Germany maybe yeah boom that be that happen yeah was last year maybe run it back same game why not it was a great atmosphere everyone loved it it could become a tradition I love tradition I do too I do too like every time I go to Greenville uh South Carolina sure I get to watch an incredible Monday Night Raw yeah yeah every time I go to Greenville that gets there where is that game at that uh Tom’s first game is that in Cleveland Cleveland yeah oh that sucks for your first game what you talking about Tom go to Cleveland for his first game that’s memorable it is it’s right there look think about his view the lake is right there from where he’s looking at se playe in he might Jimmy Graham he proba lost so I guess it’s good memories speaking of Jimmy Graham I I tweeted him mid show I tweeted him mid show mid conversation cuz something got sent in these killer whales oh boy flipped the sail but no no they flipped the sa killed him a yacht I believe it killed the people I didn’t know it killed them yeah what do you think they’re doing this is like the seals on the ice they’re getting you out there so you become the chum killer whales they’re not living whales they’re killer whales okay they didn’t give them CPR on the ice yeah so as soon as I saw CBS sports or CBS not CBS Sport CBS news report this about these killer whales getting smarter they’re getting smarter I go hey Jimmy Graham how how are we handling this type of [ __ ] in the Arctic BR you know cuz they’re up there yeah he goes yes that’s a bit of a concern we will have a game plann for sure even if I got to jump on it and rot it like Avatar to sacrifice for my team whatever it takes see that’s what I’m saying I understand he’s the eternal optimist I respect and appreciate that somebody needs to keep it real with this guy somebody needs to tell him they are killer whales in the Arctic Ocean ready to kill your big ass and with how big he is on that boat oh boy they’re eating him first oh no doubt about it I’m pretty sure killer whales do not like it when people jump on their backs so if that’s Jimmy’s plan I would get a new one because that’s going to piss him off hope he can hold his breath cuz that thing’s going deep down in there sewor I don’t know what kind of weight they can carry on this thing they need couple rocket launchers and a couple Rockets you see whale Dynamite blow that thing to Smither or SE RPGs he got RPGs I think you guys are allowed to kill killer whale I don’t think if they’re trying to kill you they’re trying to kill you they’re in their houseing you signed up to go on a canoe in the middle of the Arctic if it’s self-defense there is no maritime law that says you can’t do that true yeah I thought yeah he can gamble out there too they should get who who the the crew members of the attack survived okay good that’s a whole different story okay the whales they only killed the boat well was getting solv these whales are dumb they eating wood like everybody think of these AI everybody thinks these AI are going to take over their photoshops are [ __ ] okay their video editing is crap okay complete crap they don’t know what’s good and what’s bad they have no sense to taste and they never will these killer whales eating wood well I mean we have to consider the fact that the brand new uh Pizza Hut cheeseburger was on the boat and that maybe they smelt that and just went straight for the I did not do enough research I was in the middle of something uh did see that Pizza Hut his debut in a burger hello Heaven yeah Pizza H’s done it again you know and water is wet so I cannot wait getting it tonight I hope it’s all locations and not just a couple select few but even if you should not eat that you better have your D wipes handy no dud do you should do it right before show tomorrow you should not will and you know what I’ll bring in a nighttime diaper that my daughter wears you know so that you can with dude wipes in there obviously exactly exactly I’ll use that to clean up but yeah I mean it’s a bath for your ass it’s dude wipes don’t think that’s good just Pizza Hut just doing it again changing the game they’re Paul skines they are that’s all they do they’re painting it they just the gas station is a good nickname great oh yeah I think we F jeez want a Better Burger is that that’s just a cow a burger that’s just a cow zone no no it’s a burger yeah that looks like a folded piece of pizza which would be a calone just not that doesn’t look great excuse me don’t I love Pizza Hut that doesn’t look great shut up I this is not how we’re I can’t believe this is how we’re ending fast talking Tuesday you’re up against it y fast talking Tuesday ends with a a bunch of [ __ ] you’re a piece of [ __ ] all right we’ll be back tomorrow hope you hope you choose to watch see you then goodbye all right hope you’re happy AJ hey do you want me to not do you want me to lie should I lie about it I think debut might have a little bit bit of uh you know trepidation as they say and eating one more for AJ being a piece of [ __ ] H’s getting smaller I think Ho’s getting smaller over it looks like it what was that all about what you guys chose to do I we got to be honest come on now be honest exactly did you see the logo on did you see the logo that’s on her Pizza H yeah you see it you know what that means it’s good it’s fire they’re not just [ __ ] rolling out some sh*tty tasting something never I had questions when they said a cheeseburger but that’s just a kazone and that looks delicious yeah Bingo you said nobody’s nobody nobody bets a thousand you ever go to pizzaa literally everything out there delicious thousand Little slice of wings that burger looks like [ __ ] dude not a burger you sack of actually don’t like a burger yeah this maybe Pizza Hut’s biggest Miss is calling it a burger cuz that’s going to turn people away it turned me away immediately cuz when they called it a burger they would have just said hey we got a delicious czone eh I would have been hell in we got a burger czone yeah want a better czone is what should be on the car that could be beef sausage though not Italian sausage still you know I learned about some bison sausage you can potentially get out there in a Great Planes we should talk about talked to a guy from Nebraska earlier today had a cowboy hat he’s F fast talking auction here from meum 24 years hey whatever three two so good he has he’s we’re gonna go spend you know because we’re off Thursday Friday because the PJ Championship is on everything and it sounds like the PJ Championship is about to be the real deal and oh yeah to do spoilers too much because uh who would we be to spoil the ending of things history tells us that Rory maroy is winning this weekend that’s right okay oh yeah this close to a major championship fresh off a win somehow now that we’re learning everything he’s he’s he’s doing a divorce right now right the [ __ ] now filed Monday of the major yeah like that man wins a tournament okay divorce major okay Rory M uh Rory mroy golf happening right now yeah if you were to take a trip back in time and we have the stats now 2014 royan maroy uh had a massive breakup very public tennis player yes right Caroline wasak nailed it that was 2014 PJ Championship was where Valhalla where’s the championship at this week Valhalla oh boy yeah had massive breakup then wins PJ championship in Valhalla goes on to have the best Year’s number one golfer in the world divorce happening Monday right wins tournament weekend before y going into Valhalla again Roy maoy doesn’t have his mind on anything else right now but golf this is Flu Game situation this is where you don’t let anything outside of anything other than golf affect your mood you’re in a new era you’re a new you you get to pick whatever the [ __ ] you want to focus on and do for your entire day Rory has proven to us in the past what he’s going to do in this situation is go right to the range right to the green right to the sand he’s going to be golfing phenomenal he drove one 358 this past weekend little anger coming out with the big stick and we don’t know who’s we assume it was his fault as well we’re not saying yeah that is not not placing blame we’re not saying there’s any blame here who knows how that goes and I assume it’s not easy uh being married to a golfer who travels six days a week for 48 weeks like we saw on yeah I golf I golf on Netflix so we’re not saying anything about that but what we are saying is history has showed us that Rory’s about to lock the [ __ ] in and uh maybe this weekend’s the time for him to get back on a major stage think about it that’s that’s like his that’s the only place he can go where it’s kind of calm and that’s where he can go get away from everything happening around you and that’s where some of these guys seem to play their best golf don’t you they get dialed in they kind of get in the zone yeah they’re not the only ones there’s other sports where this has happened you know where go oh yeah yeah you know yep yeah not just Sports happens in life too you know Revenge bodies they talk about you know what Revenge bodies are that’s like somebody saying I need to [ __ ] change um you know what I mean it maybe there is spite for like [ __ ] that person but also it’s like uh yeah I get a chance to like kind of restart my entire story here everything can kind of new beginning so you see people normally it’s like a new year it’s like a you got new rules you know resolutions it’s like I’m going to start eating healthier I’m be nice I’m gonna go to Salam and take care of myself I’m gonna love my I’m gonna do this whole thing I’m gon focus in I’m gonna get more work on it’s like that is really what happens uh for some people not everybody yeah some people go the complete opposite direction but I’m just saying those who have proven to be able to do in the past I think we should think about potentially that’s always interesting re Revenge body [ __ ] and why not do that while you’re in the relationship yeah how do you do that yeah how do I get that motivation but not have to pull my life yeah well and also true yeah Comfort but then uh yeah also I think like things just start happening like for instance uh if the Green Bay Packers would have drafted a wide receiver in the first round mhm and Aaron went to those OTAs at the Jets the conversation was about the Brew like why didn’t you why didn’t we hey when you had why didn’t we why didn’t we do that there and it’s because and that’s just one instance of many that is taking place other than just no I’m just talking about like some people just get into the ways and then it does take like a perspective to be like all right we got to do something different but Rory I think is about to [ __ ] be yeah it’s Scotty just had a baby too yeah it’s breakup game versus new d that’s difficult Rudy go most recent new dad gam he hasn’t played very well Brandon Carlo as well he has scored two goals since having his baby oh yeah yeah yeah he had the bar down yes he did the night just had his first win since been a d sheffler has his beard still he has never lost with the beard he has no time to shave now beard and baby wow dangerous is he going to be too tired cuz he is a newborn father yeah and with Scotty Sheffer we assume he’s very that’s going to be hands on hands on guy good dad those first few week think this new baby is coming to the course though you think they’re coming you can’t fly that young but oh je my guess would be no think about how Happ get to the course get some sleep when he gets to the course Bingo that’s what I was about to say think about Scotty not happy that he’s missing valuable time obviously skin to skin Mana we’re building but also I get to sleep whoa in a hotel or a house by myself good sleep wait a minute and uh just playing golf what if he’s going to be better he’s going to get much better now holy smoke is anybody yelling in my ear just no words just is that happening am I wiping poop is there poop no no poop no you’re you’re GNA have to fill a divot maybe or something yeah okay yeah I [ __ ] can’t wait to come play be great you guys need me for the uh the pram what night should I get go week okay Scot we are we’re in for some good golf yeah the majors are just so much better like we we every year it starts with the Masters and I feel like we relearn like oh yeah this is what we want in every single golf weekend but now we only get it four times a year so we got to cherish them even more dude one a month so we’ll be watching that golf on Thursday and Friday while we’re at meum trying not to buy every car yep AJ how many you gonna get for real how many you gonna what over under five no no no no no come on come on come on it’s okay I’ll take the over I’ll take two and a half no you got to remember I’m I’m not a big fan of dealing with [ __ ] you know like if there’s any [ __ ] that’s involved with it like [ __ ] I’m probably not going to do it like you will normally see me doing stuff where there isn’t a bunch of [ __ ] paperwork that has to be signed insurance that has to be got you know registra like all the [ __ ] that comes if it was just look by walk out see you later this is now your car you got to write a letter for the like that whole thing cool there’s a fullon you know when you buy a car there’s a lot of [ __ ] that has to happen you know oh so I thought you got like I think of those things you kind of go in with your little paddle you get pre-approved like boom I’m driving home with that thing right now yeah you do but afterwards you got to go now you got to go sign for fill a bunch of [ __ ] out you you got to go sign for it I got it I’m with you I understand that start buying a car you know like when you buy a car the worst part of buying a [ __ ] car is that yeah everything else the whole you know this we told you this you got to you should talk to them can you tell them hey I’ll pay I’ll pay five grand extra if you guys handle all that garbage I well they still I don’t want to do that obviously I I I don’t want to do that but it’s like also I think that’s just like a part of it like you have I have to [ __ ] yeah title you acknowledge that you were you just spent $100,000 on a Jeep that you won’t be able to drive yeah yeah that was me let me sign this one all right now you got to tell your bank that you’re buying okay took like an hour it was a whole after buying set or after a whole that was one car so it’s like you know it’s I thought you I thought maybe you get Sam the sweet truck with the flames on it and then you were going to get something else for yourself possibly last night we did have discussions about that oo how sweet would you look to Bright in that Sam you could drop I told her I almost got it for you you know you saw the picture now if you didn’t want it you know I would have if I had I guess I would have took yeah that thing still the bid’s still going on yeah that bid’s still going on Gump goes back that’s what I’m saying Gumpy Thursday Friday I think we’re going to be in those State fragrance they just text me and said yeah we got a table or a whole come on whatever we so much fun it is a blast I can’t emphasize enough how just entertaining it is if you like cars you have to like cars though I think I shoot don’t really like cars that much really just as a show like there’s so much going on there’s it’s a competition too like you’re not just sitting up there like there are people bidding against each other it is so much fun and like the aspect of yeah I’m sitting next to you and you could buy every single car definitely helps because I can just hey you should get this one get this one get this there’s a lot of that I don’t know how you’re sitting here right now look at that thing dude and then they would rev the engine buy it get it get it get it I feel like I can’t go cuz I can’t I can’t I can’t buy a car right now and if I go I’m going to want to buy a car sold well yeah that’s part of it yeah you that’s like you’re going to a casino you’re going to Vegas you’re just writing off like all right I’m going to lose this amount of money I’m going to buy I’m going buy a fireflame truck I’m going to do that there’s a chance you you could spend uh 600,000 on a car or at one point I think there was like a a $2,000 something that they were just trying to give away basically they made an announcement mhm if you want to if you want to [ __ ] just come get this you can take it up we just rent a truck to haul all of our cars after Thursday oh the car towing and transfer that’s a whole another business that’s a whole Florida yeah yeah that’s a whole another business well the truck will be coming through next Wednesday you’re going to have to have it ready at like 4:00 a.m. we have no guarantees that that [ __ ] is not going to slide off and hit another one that’s great business can’t wait to sign up for that how much do I have to pay you great uh joining us now is a man who could do any business I think that he he wanted to cuz we watched him on a roast on a stage with some of the most talented brains and talkers on Earth he’s one of the stars of the show that’s right ladies and gentlemen the host of games with names multiple time Super Bowl champion future Hall of Famer from Kent State Julian [Music] edman what’s up dude what’s up man AJ every time I see your chin yeah I just think of chinana Jones man just every time at the Derby I would see you over there bro you just are cool he is it look at you Bro Look At You lounging your your audio sounds unbelievable by the way I know obviously your show but yeah in the podcast you’re doing great man keep killing it just trying to be like you guys man you should your camera looks really good too this a good setup look at how look at the loung comfortable back happily miserable there’s no way you’re miserable right now look at how [ __ ] comfortable you got to be right now I mean there’s no way you’re a miserable at all right now get out of here BB what’s good Jes what’s good baby good to see you man keep killing it brother hey we used to play these charity games and DB could jump through the roof we get paid $500 they’d scam the hell out of us we’ signed 5,000 signatures but we go make 20 grand off season oh yeah and DB would be out there doing 360 windmills bro all right how old were you guys whenever you were doing that Jules rookie 22 23 does that change with the New England Patriots as you grow older honestly like I the Pittsburgh Steelers had one of those teams where the players would go play like charity games against like high school teachers I think in some places and then they go play Indianapolis Colts don’t have that I’m not sure a lot of places do I don’t think a lot of people would expect the Patriots to have that was that like a much different time in The Patriot Way or is that kind of a a a thing that maybe gets overblown a bit too much I think it was a thing that gets overblown it was just a way for guys that were younger football players to make some money some some dude out in auson would rang Wrangle up all the guys that were kind of new to the team and you’d travel to like Western Massachusetts New Hampshire and you’d play against the firemen or you’d play against the high school state champion they’d sell these things out they were fun it was just a way to get a run for the for us and get 500 bucks yeah but Bill bich didn’t say no to that like that that sounds like something that was in the offseason man we were in like Spring ball and stuff and I mean you didn’t go that hard he he didn’t care about that see that’s the thing I think we’re all you remember that oh hell yeah I remember all those quick five grand here and there I mean it was easy uh being up in Boston you know you you play for the Patriots you’re you know you go anywhere show up find some autographs do anything quick five six grand depending on who you were it’s awesome yeah vinet ter used to tell these stories about this Pizza Company he would do commercials with and then papaginos maybe I Pap is that who it was yeah so probably he was talking about that and uh cuz the Colts would like bring over a sponsorship opportunity in Indianapolis and uh vny would be like I’m not I’m not going to do that for 750 bucks I you know I’m a Hall of Famer and uh like he wouldn’t say that but he would just always be busy and I’m like yeah I’m not doing anything for 750 either he go you should have seen what it was like up in Boston he absolutely loved it does it feel like home still for you up there every time you go up obviously you’re the only one out of the group right that didn’t go on to play uh somewhere else so I feel like that love is going to be forever for you up there in Boston yeah you know I I live in LA now because my daughter’s out here she started kindergarten so I I I’m back and forth the Boston I still have my spot there and it’s true man like it’s crazy when I leave La now that this is my home I don’t feel like when I come back here it’s home but when anytime I go back to Boston I mean I was there for 13 years it feels like home you know so you know being part of that culture and and that whole Beast that it is being part of a Boston sports team I mean it’s it’s awesome it’s it’s a cool thing to be a part of I mean right now you got this you got the socks going you got the Celtics the Bruins are hanging on by hanging on by threads by unfortunate yeah Florida Panthers that’s how Florida hockey fake hockey they got to figure it out they look out too on that point even like as a rookie second year we get Court side seats to like playoff games like I remember Courtside like Lakers Celtics finals yeah on the house yeah Co exactly Kobe kg got rest of Soul like Paul Pierce we sitting there watching Legend Courtside just cuz we you know on the pack I thought Boston was a terrible City no absolutely not just that’s what everyone says because we you know we won too much that’s just kind of how it goes when you’re the city of Champions well Joes you’re obviously a part of that and let’s go and talk about everything that you’ve you know I guess I don’t want to say go through because that would be a negative connotation but because you guys won so much there’s so much [ __ ] now you know about everything there’s so much [ __ ] obviously the Apple docu series and this roast is like maybe the greatest thing that has happened in 20 I don’t know I don’t know how long but [ __ ] Phenom you’re one of the stars of that jeles let’s go you [ __ ] murdered up there dude you murdered you knew you were going to crush though right you knew that I didn’t I was nervous boys uh that was that that was very nerve-wracking anytime you jump into uh an environment with other professionals that do that for a living and have to do what they do and execute in front of 15,000 people at the Forum on live Netflix whatever it was on I mean it’s nerve-wracking but I handled it like a football game I worked with our team their team I put together like 1233 minutes a bunch of jokes and I went to The Comedy Store and I performed Jeff Ross was a huge like help with me he’s like hey I know you’re feeling a little nervous why don’t you come hit the back set of my my set at uh the laugh or at uh the comedy store so I went up there and that was like 10 times more nerve-wracking because it’s super intimate and I had a lot more jokes and I didn’t have like prompters or anything so I was just reading off cards so I was like terrified thank God I had like a group of there’s like 15 frat kids there that were like full like NFL fans that laughed at anything I said so I felt cool after first J boys you really helped that was a big assist boys a big assist they did they did it was awesome but you know going into that that the night of the show it was funny because you’d be in the green room and in our Green Room we had it was me Randy Bill grank and bledo and you could tell guys were a little nervous you know what I mean you could tell and but everyone was trying to play it cool cuz we’re all professionals but it was it was 100% like a like locker room before a game guys are sitting there kiking a little joke here or there but then you’d see a guy run off to the corner to go look at his jokes and practice his jokes gron went to the bathroom like four times I think to run his jokes like it was it was pregame nerves through the roofs But ultimately it was a it was a great experience a fun experience um and it was kind of like a therapy session you know what I mean aired out a lot of griev probably through you know the art of joke out there through the art of joke the art of joke but it was awesome man it was great to see Bill there um boy where there’s some yeah tension yeah well the own you’re talking about Mr craft yeah I think I there you know there’s just tension everywhere yeah no no you were talking about that one though that talking everywhere yeah I watched you and Drew bledo on uh games with names podcast which is phenomenal talk about you trying to give the hoody who to uh Bill whenever Robert walked into the room or whatever and then yeah yeah just kind of walking away and then uh letting it kind of all figure everybody knows right I mean that’s the elephant in the room especially fresh out of the Apple document that has to be the reason is that what we’re thinking you know any kind of Separation you’d never want to see the parents in the same room at the open house the next night like the next night so you know it’s it’s it’s a little weird uh but yeah the whole dock the whole Letting Go I mean it was it was a eventful last three four months this year um so thankfully with games and names we gave a perspective and had Matthew Slater Matt lights coming on Drew bledo guys that uh Ty Law guys that were part of the the dynasty we gave a little our own little thing the inside jokes the players perspective the fun that we had cuz let me tell you you know there was it was miserable yeah it’s if F who doesn’t like if you’re 35 or if you’re 31 32 and older who what football player ever like their [ __ ] coach and excuse my language are we past 3:00 you’re good yeah I know you’re in La you’re lounging yeah and what is time yeah I get it yeah who lik their football no one liked their football who likes a guy that makes you run a hill week 17 you know after the you just blew someone out 30 no one likes that but you need it and you love it so well that’s what it is well we um love to hear that because I think there’s a chance that a lot of coaches nowadays and this is a much bigger conversation I didn’t we’re not going to dive fully into it but a lot of guys I think are scared to not be friends with the people that they’re coaching you know and that’s I don’t know if that’s ever going to work legitimately I don’t I don’t know if that’s ever going to work at the highest level you know whenever people win accountability has to be a real thing and the person that has to hold people accountable not necessarily always the most liked person in the you know what I mean that guy kind of sucks in every conversation so to your point I’d like to Echo that sentiment yeah I mean I hated my mom and dad when I had to get cough syrup but I had a cough I hated them but when that cough went away I was like damn maybe my parents were pretty damn good yeah good play there solid play there fair play go ahead AJ Jules getting back to the roast I guess what was your expectations going into it and who who do you think could be the next roast I’m sure Netflix is thinking off the success of this hey who who do we go after after next who can we get to commit to this and also lastly with Tom do you know is Tom happy with the whole situation does he like how it all went down uh I mean I talked to Tom briefly he didn’t even go to the Afterparty Jesus Christ Tom we had all all our guys there and no one not I think he went off to Italy or something um but uh I think he was happy and um I do believe they’ll probably start doing more of these I mean it felt like comedy was kind of like coming back with what you could say here and there and and I tell you who the greatest teammate of the night was was Kevin Hart opening the thing up bringing out his jokes because a lot of guys were sweating on like the barometer of where we could hit like what subject we could go after and you know Kevin being the guy that he is he he jumped right in hit the the jiu-jitsu instructor right away so I felt like all right we’re good we’re good um and I think it’d be great to have like a Patrick Mahomes or something you know like you got to get the biggest stars of the stars or a LeBron or I mean it’s got to be the biggest of the sport you know if you’re going to start doing this for ath I don’t know if anybody else has sign Julian I don’t know if anybody else is signing up for that you know one of the biggest like things talked about Tom is Tom Brady was allowed to be coached like everybody else so if you see Tom Brady getting yelled at on a Monday after a game you can definitely get yelled at on a Monday after game so Tom is like one of his actual traits that puts him above a lot of people is that he has like a thick skin or can take it or whatever even though some of the [ __ ] I assume definitely hit home I don’t know any other [ __ ] that are considered goats are going to be doing like I after especially after watching it it’s like am I signing up for Nicki Glazer for exactly like you think Tiger’s gonna do I don’t I don’t think so I I I don’t I don’t you know I mean yeah I guess but Patrick momes I think he could do it yeah especially because how beloved he is yeah for sure boy loved and then there’s also a lot of material that you could hit with Patrick Mahomes there’s a lot of material that you could hit oh yeah may not be Patrick it could be things around Patrick but there’s a lot of hitable things and it would be fun I think he would take it right it he would when you’re the guy in the situation I think Tom comes out looking like flowers in this whole thing you know what I mean how he took it you know and and and allowed the things that to be said about him yeah in front of everyone and I think the check was pretty good too I don’t know well that’s I guess that would be the only great equalizer in the entire thing you know cuz a couple Tom you know we were just talking about Patrick Mahomes you know the targets around exactly from what we read on the internet there was some targets around few of them Tom they were yeah okay yeah so Tom didn’t go to the Afterparty the whole Robert Craft uh Happy Ending thing with Jeff Ross I know it’s kind of split I assume you’ve already had to give your was he actually I don’t think he was actually pissed about that do you think he was do you think whenever he interrupt that situation I was right there and I was like is this part of I don’t even know yeah I really don’t but it was kind of like I think it was played off I don’t know I don’t know for a fact I think it was a play hey we’re a few days removed from this you still don’t have a [ __ ] answer you’re still still have a clue you still don’t know I still don’t have a clue like I said Tom’s in a different time zone right now I think he’s doing like a boat race in Italy or I think one of his teams he’s got something going yeah pickle ball game to be found Seven Rings yeah that’s what I get when he sends me to the voicemail you did great for him on Sunday though uh Ty has a question for you Jules when it comes to the whole Brady Bill situation does it get exhausting how like Media or whoever’s talking about it like they only think that that guys that were there can be in one camp like you can’t be a Brady and a bich guy you know like you just said like yeah obviously a lot of guys they [ __ ] hate their coach but you respect the [ __ ] out of Bill clearly but like do does that ever get exhausting or piss you off how it’s like hey you can either only be in Brady’s camp or you can only be in bellich che’s Camp and I don’t think we’ve heard anyone who has been like hey I was I was a bellich guy I wasn’t necessarily A Brady guy yeah it is very exhausting uh you know and if you if you talk to a lot of the older generation guys you know they they they were around Tom Brady before he was Tom Brady and and you know they understand it too and then it got to a point and it’s hard to even explain this because you don’t want to go on a on a tangent where one of I don’t yeah it’s it’s it’s it’s very exhausting dude like seriously um all right so whose sck were you on just so you’re Tom yeah forever yeah [ __ ] bill bellich I mean I live in Brentwood because Tom fed me the rock but I I was the football player I was because Bill bich coached me the way he coached me so I mean it it was a it was both I mean who Bill drafted me he took an opportunity to take a quarterback out of Ken State who could barely throw the [ __ ] raw the ball and me to the Ravens yeah not only throw a guy can [ __ ] point return too what most dangerous play DB sometimes too oh yeah play DB play safety you know what I mean I I love them both I really do and I I really do feel like the kid that you know has to talk about Mom and Dad after the divorce well you’re doing a great job you’re doing a great job and I think you’re allowed to uh respect and appreciate both sides of it you know I think that is completely okay but Society normally you know we got to go one maybe the roast though will kind of be the end of that and it won’t necessarily be like hey it has to be one or the other no now it’s crafter Bill what if this happens what if and this is a conspiracy or this is just a theory we love these what if like Raiders go down a [ __ ] hole this year which they’re on par to do oh um and all of a sudden Tom gets his 10% and hires Bill to go be the head coach of the Raiders they bring some like that’s some [ __ ] that could happen I bet Tom’s Bill’s boss wow AP out after one year gez that would be wild for AP lombo new G that’d be wild but could that not happen maybe well I mean Tom Tesco imagine GM just getting see you later because of the roast because brought them together because Julian Edelman delivered a Foxboro High School joke that nobody else on Earth could do what a right that sounds like something he said to [ __ ] everybody that’s what I heard when I heard every player go up there and like most of them were like Foxboro high it’s like oh that was every [ __ ] day that sound like that was every day practice is what I heard from those jokes oh if there was any kind of fundamentally dog [ __ ] play like just a easy play like a wide route or or a drop ball it would be the kid down at Foxboro high or it it would be like [ __ ] me and Ernie could make that [ __ ] throwing cat and Ernie you know you guys know of Ernie oh yeah I mean I know DB’s heard that a few times like Jesus [ __ ] Christ just play his goddamn hands DB you don’t got to get nervous just play his hands made it sounds so simple what’s that so everything the crazy thing is though we would be bill would say some [ __ ] on like a Friday like the keys of the games and and DB can second this and he’d say all right this is GNA happen this is going to happen if we do these two things this will happen and then this will happen and we come in on Monday and it would go just as he said I’m like and we’d all sit there and look at each other like this [ __ ] how did he know that insane like we would have Sunday meetings like you know coming in we didn’t do this to any other team I was on but Sunday we’ll come in and have a quick meeting before the game and he would just come in hey you know expect uh expect some hurry up at some point early in this game from the offense blah blah just like jul said and you’ll go out there and just happen every every time like 99% of the time like how the [ __ ] this dude do this [ __ ] think about this Jules and I know you made a joke out of it and uh we don’t love it either I can’t wait to hear you and Bill talk and that should be a whole documentary of itself he’s joining us every single Monday it’s like I’ve heard about these tales that people have said like lombo has come on and been like you should see the notes that we have for the game which you guys ran that fake punt you should see you should see what he said was going to happen in that game whenever it took play and I’m like oh does he say that we’re going to run potentially the worst play in the history he goes in different words yeah he he certainly says something like that and it’s like I feel like he’s still going to want to do that though you know like the amount of preparation that he has given to football over the last what 40 50 years of just like I don’t know how he ever shuts that off you know you know him a lot better than I do that’s never going to happen right he’s never going to be able to shut this off no I think he’s going to take this year as an opportunity to a self Scout himself like he he’s going to sit that back and look at his probably 20 years and he’s going to see what he did right what he did wrong what he could work on and then he’s going to stay super involved with the game because I think he still wants to coach so he’s going to stay very involved and probably break for whatever segment you guys are going to do he’s going to break down the game as if he was preparing and and you saw that in when he went on to your guys’ pre-draft special it was stupid mean he was still in it and he was still evaluating the guys and oh yeah people are all like butt hurt on how he was talking about Drake may but that’s how it that’s how it’s talked about in in the War Room when there’s no cameras all right this is what we got to work on a guy doesn’t have five years he’s only he doesn’t have enough experience and needs work on this yeah he’s got this this and this but he needs to work on this and that’s what you need to find in that room because that’s how you develop players you need to find out if if you just work hard that’s something Bill used to say all the time he would say stuff like like you can’t just go work hard you can’t just go run 50 Sprints that ain’t going to do anything for your game what you need to do is you need to find a coach a mentor a peer find out at what you have to work on and work hard at that that’s how you improve so like that’s the kind of that’s the kind of mode he’s always in like and and you know we have such a s you know we saw it in the locker room my older years you know it’s a sensitive generation coming up where they expect to be pat on the ass for doing your job when that’s not how it was with Bill we were always looking how do we get better you know let’s let’s try yeah we we made a a 20- yard bow route throw yeah this is National Football League you’re supposed to be able to run that route you’re supposed to make that throw now how do we make the 40 yard stock post how do we make that goddamn play like you know that’s what it is it’s about getting better and and that’s the grind of the NFL and I know it’s been changing I don’t know any different but that’s what he is int intentional working you know like that there’s a there’s a purpose for everything that you do instead of just wasting your energy it’s like every story we hear about his leadership and his coaching is like always just drive like hey there is never a Finish Line here we are always going and going and going and you talked about what he said about Drake may he said that about about [ __ ] everybody Jules everyone he had 50 tapes ready 50 [ __ ] tapes okay we’re there’s no way we were going to be able to show those no never never going to be able to show them and only 32 draft picks but even then we’re not going to be able to show all of them because the timing or whatever and he was like I I get top 50 no problem it’s like this [ __ ] scouting everybody in this drafts he he is still scouting everybody in this draft so he knows if he was to get back in he’s not going to skip a year of talent out there that he didn’t do any research on but he was I think he was enjoying trying to figure out what every player could do to become the best version of himself and that was kind of what the videos all were like hey need this need and it was like 35% good for most of these and then 65% bad when normally on draft night it’s like 85% good and like 15% going to have a long road you know going to have to work a little bit but it was like every single person except for Tom Brady and P see his note yeah good it’s it’s so funny cuz I used to I used to go I knew o sh’s uh exos password so I’d use like the coaches cut-ups cuz then you could get like you’d see Bill’s notes on like a play so you they break up you guys know how it goes you break up the play you get the the formation the front the coverage the situation and they have it all pretty much like excelled out and then you’d have BB’s comments you’d have JD’s or Josh McDaniel’s comments and it’ be so funny you’d see good accuracy and then you then there’ be like some terrible dog [ __ ] play and it would just be in all caps WTF question mark question mark question mark WTF what are we doing like what the [ __ ] what the [ __ ] what are we doing him typing he was had to get the amount of wtfs in WT WTF question mark question mark covered like a blanket no one opened like it’d be so funny on just his notes I used to get off I would just watch the film just to read his notes yeah he uh he was prepared NFL films put together Phenom him and NFL films work go ahead that also gave you a a kind of a a taste of what every opening meeting was like like our the team meeting when we used to go to the you know 8:00 meeting or 7:45 meeting whatever we would start that’s what bill would do he’d he’d address the team for 45 to 50 minutes as a whole team now I don’t know how it is on other teams but I’ve talked to other guys where they just break up o and D he would break down every phase of the the game he’d have like a a 45 play cut up in our team meeting to get ready for the day and he break down 40 like 14 plays offense 14 maybe 17 plays of Defense always more defense he’s a defensive guy we all know that and then like 13 plays of special teams and he would go through this and address the team every day on what we had to do because he had the vision for what we wanted to be and it’s that’s like half of it like what are we going to be what are we going to prepare for a lot of guys don’t know how to do that it’s funny he his video his film was awesome I mean it was he was like uh he so he I didn’t want to put anything on his plate you know we were just pumped he was going to be there like him just if he would just s sat there and had one word every 10 minutes great sweet we got [ __ ] bill bich here but he was like so how many plays do you want me to put film together of all these guys and I’m like okay so you’re putting film together of all these guys he was like well I don’t know this is that what you want me to [ __ ] do and I’m like you just said you wanted to do that he was well it’s not my [ __ ] show it’s like okay I would love for you to put together film on these guys well how many plays I’m like all right uh two two plays he’s I’m not going to be able to tell the story with two plays okay all right we’ll do we’ll do we’ll do three plays he goes three plays would be good all right and then he comes back he’s like some guys if I do a little bit more a little bit less it’s okay I’m like Bill literally whatever the [ __ ] you want to do all good you know and he’s like well it’s not my show I’m like Bill this is your show this is you are the D you are the football yeah you are the show so he like wanted to do it and I genuinely believe that when he was breaking it down because we you know he he knows everything he [ __ ] knows everything he’s going to act like he doesn’t I think but he does he knows who’s seeing what how they’re seeing it I’m like hey the fans of the teams that draft these players are going to see this that what you say is going to be their thoughts on the player like that is just going to become their new thoughts so I think whenever he was breaking it down he was trying to like reach the player too that was like Hey like here’s my thoughts on you as a player as well it was it was cool to kind of watch and then his personality this motherf*cker’s hilarious Jules I assume you knew that obviously everybody knew that behind the scenes I think the world is just finding that out right now yeah it’s been it’s been real fun to see him go out and and show the personality he has now it’s a dry humor and like you see how he kind of humiliated amandola in in the in the Roose how he would get on guys that’s how he would get on guys he’d go oh yeah 250 last year that’s that’s a good half for [ __ ] R like cuz he’s seen so many different players and he remembers all the plays that like it’s funny to get to see him show kind of what it’s like in film now it gets a little crazier but you know the PG version it’s been very fun cuz I think people are reacting to it you know it’s it’s been really good to see him just get out and kind of show people the Nar like there’s a narrative out right now about him like oh this guy’s so old he can’t [ __ ] Cod yeah yeah yeah there’s no collaborative like Bill’s Bill like if you have information bill will take information from anyone oh yeah but if you [ __ ] them on that information and it’s not real information you’re gone so the whole collaborative thing like if you want to collaborate let’s just have good information let’s have a good scheme let’s have a good play that works you know that’s how he is Hey listen if your idea is better than mine we will certainly use it now if your idea is [ __ ] and it doesn’t work out there’s a chance we don’t use your ideas for a little bit see you later ever again ever never ever again charge it to the game charger to the game go ahead AJ Jules how do you think it’s going to be with uh with mayo there taking over obviously huge shoes to feel like how is it going to be what do what do you think he’s going to take with him that he learned from Bill and like what kind of new things do you think he’s going to inject into that whole franchise um I’m excited for gerro uh I mean I just saw what he said about M Trey or or M Trey Drake May um that’s sweet though with yeah can leave ma for sure oh yeah I’m a Bay Area guy and then there’s mac and then there’s now we got Drake and all this [ __ ] whatever uh but I’m excited he you could already see he’s starting to use some of that that bellich hone when he said you know when he addressed the media about Drake May and he said oh well he has a lot to work on like so you could see that he’s using that he was one of the smartest football players I played with um you know I had that little stick didn’t where I played defense and I knew what I always had to do but I just needed to confirm it with gerod every play because that’s the kind of guy gerod was he would be able to put everyone in position he was always great in the locker room he was a great leader he could communicate with everyone and I think he’s going to bring something different than what Bill had it’s just the the way he communicates is going to be different um you know he he’s probably gonna be more like a leader or a captain coming down and talking to like a young buck you know where you put the arm around like arm around him and and kind of like love him up that’s the kind of guy he was and I’m sure he’s probably going to bring that to his coaching style um but he’s definitely I mean it’s it’s it’s gonna be insane to watch could you imagine following bill bellich I I mean that’s what I mean and Elliot wolf with a rookie quarterback yeah and and no Playmakers like what are we doing okay so Conor has a question for you actually I mean I wouldn’t say no Playmakers Jules I mean they got a couple guys in the draft I like Bourne I like I like Hunter and I like some of these guys but they have they need they need a a blue chip guy that can go down the field you don’t have Tom Brady to be able to just dissect right now you got a young buck that needs to be loved up and he needs to have a bunch of little things he could throw to to make him feel safe well not to I mean let’s let’s remember too they drafted the guy who led the led the the country in receiving yards per catch and I know you’re happy about number 11 tawon Thorton I think he’s going to have a great year but uh looking looking at as a whole at can we be on the field if we’re going to give the sticks out can we stay on the field give the sticks look this this is his year Jules okay but we’re going to get the sticks out have you described 11 as the sticks you’re you’re whole yeah that’s great I mean you get to drop the sticks you better can we not have a ham string I mean I know Bill’s Mr soft tissue hate guy guy hates a soft tissue more than anything I’ve we used to have to do all these goddamn hydration tests these tests that test because of [ __ ] soft issue yeah just drink some water headaches too I think sting you off is clearly a sore subject no the sticks need to be on the field if they’re going to be warm that’s what I just heard yes and they’re going to be this year he’s going to have a huge year but uh Jules well we haven’t really talked about the doc as much and um obviously the reaction to it was one thing but when you were watching it what was the feeling kind of reliving everything especially you know your your catch against the Falcons winning Super Bowl MVP even though they really didn’t talk about the good stuff that stuff was kind of glossed over but what were your feelings watching that and then also when you saw what Brady was like you know his rookie year coming in those early years and how he acted how much different was his transition from when you were you know on theam team versus from when uh you know Vel and those guys were giving them [ __ ] yeah um my thoughts were yeah this thing’s pretty production for what they were trying to get out of it um going to the Brady question seeing Tom when he was a young buck I mean I we always heard the stories and I was really close with a lot of the guys the Lonnie Paxton and I played with Matt Light Steve Neil early in my career there were those guys that were there so they they always kind of reminded me and then when it transitioned to the point where he was like large than life for like a young football player I kind of took a role where I would humanize him and like make fun of him in the locker room and like always be on them just because that was like the only time anyone really talk to him because everyone was too scared to talk to him and you got to think about it you know when we we already had we’re two Super Bowls in during my stint the guy’s been in the league for like 19 18 years you know a kid who’s 21 22 2 years old comes in has been watching this guy like if Tom gets on him the guy could put his tail in between his leg and like go like he he can’t he couldn’t take it because it’s Tom Brady so like that whole dynamic that the rables and and and the bruis and Ty Law and Kevin Faulk and Troy Brown those guys how they treated him it transitioned to like a group of guys that would still bust his balls to try to make him feel like a human around the other guys like and it made him feel comfortable yeah I couldn’t even imagine I did that work yeah it did I was just trying to think about the 21-year-old who would be so scared that’s like scared with pton I saw that with pton a like you know obviously in our 100% And he would come over and like introduce himself to everybody it’s like we [ __ ] know but but I think he like felt obligated to kind of be it’s hard to remain a human isn’t it crazy at that position the whole world is hoisting you up into the your whole life now Tom obviously different pick 199 but it’s like pton since he was a little kid was like this guy’s going to be an NFL quarterback so like the teachers are talking to him whenever he’s in elementary school like he’s going to be a [ __ ] NFL quarterback middle school high school obviously through college Heisman NFL here we go it’s like it’s got to be hard to remain human and then you add in the fact Tom Brady’s so handsome yeah so [ __ ] handsome in one so I couldn’t even imagine that’s why he starts eating all that weird [ __ ] right because he feels like he has to somehow get better but then how do you remain a human I do not know I don’t know how those dudes do it legitimately and like Serena think about like Serena you become like almost detached from reality oh yeah too like you almost have to be it’s crazy and I couldn’t even imagine with Tom what it what it became and obviously you seen it firsthand had to be crazy as well it it was super crazy I mean when I was a rookie I was 22 years old the guy had three Super Bowls he’s married to like the biggest supermodel in the world and I remember that moment like you just said the first in time I I met him like I dropped my goddamn 10inch ring Playbook when we used to have playbooks dropped that thing like God damn this dude is handsome and Tall Cool look at this dude yeah you know and he and the cool thing about Tom is he’s honestly like a he’s a very genuine dude and he knows guys names and like he he talks to guys because he knows what situation he’s in yeah you know he knows how guys look at him and he would always kind of he would he he he would take time out to like mess with guys a little bit here and there like and have conversations with guys because you know when you’re in that stratusphere of where he’s at he’s at the point where and I’m sure pton was the same way where these guys are trying to get every minute out of the day of trying to get themselves better like and everything’s planned out like all right this these two hours are for my body these three hours I’m going to break down the two opponents we got going here I want to work on this technique on practice like these guys are so calculated for them to take time out of their schedule or their routine to like sit and say what’s up how you doing bud you know what I mean like that’s that’s a big thing yeah but that’s schedu they schedu that in all right uh 9:00 to 9:30 tomorrow morning a little [ __ ] little [ __ ] around the locker room maybe sit in a c game real quick well no you still got it if you had to all right go keep it moving uh there was another human who was celebrating a birthday L I do believe I found out via your Twitter account uh the big grank what a machine okay what an absolute football machine and he I mean obviously spiking uh China uh shot glass glass and then you know somebody that’s a whole another that’s hey had a baby gr that’s baby but he was getting attacked obviously all night he went up there did his thing I appreciated him celebrating the joke that he wrote I do appreciate his delivery I like him saying even everybody thinks I’m a big dumb [ __ ] [ __ ] you know like I enjoyed his self-awareness during the roast as well for those of us that only see yeah like all I see grank doing is having a blast that is literally the only thing I’ve ever seen grank do I I don’t think there’s ever been any other video that I’ve seen than grank just [ __ ] dominating a moment and having more fun than anybody you think he is like a big 13-year-old like that who happens to be one of the smartest football players to ever play and one of the most gifted athletes to ever play top 100 player and he was still playing I think the only person that got that title in the history of the NFL can you describe him to somebody that maybe has never met him like us for instance that don’t really you remember that book uh Clifford the Big Red Dog yeah yeah that’s grank bro okay just happy is K be always having a good time and and this whole thing that he’s a dumb dumb is is ridiculous the guy’s actually a svant with numbers and it’s crazy I used to bust his balls all the time I I’d walk down the like the hallway and I’d drop like a math problem like what’s the square root of 144 he’d be like 12 like cuz anytime we would talk contracts or something like you know when you’re you got a state of the union in a locker room and some guy just got paid or something you got these little state of the unions with in certain lockers and I we’d sit there and we and we’d be doing math on like how much a dude just got and grank would knock it out right away he’s getting 1335 a year like it was crazy the guy knows numbers so he’s he was he’s a genuine dude he’s great to always be around and he gets a WRA for always partying but he’s actually a health nut like he like he he’ll sit there and you could see him calculating the calories when he’s eating something when and and he’s making a decision on if he should take a third bite or he shouldn’t eat it like he does that kind of [ __ ] like he’s crazy yeah like he whenever he has fun it’s just public always and it’s like once or twice a year it’s just because he’s grank and he has a lot of fun but he’s actually a health nut he doesn’t party as much as you think always good three years we it was we were you know we were we were all pretty nuts like his first three years but then after that he started getting surgeries and stuff he like changed his life completely around got on that whole tb12 thing oh how do you feel about the tb12 thing a lot of jokes sent to Alex Guerrero big pops out of he Lov it mouth open lik Alex I love Alex okay good I love Alex you know I would incorporate a lot of their stuff their techniques their body work some of their diti or whatever their diet restrictions I would incorporate a lot of it um you know and and he’s he is a smart guy Alex Guerrero I mean Tom believes anything he says uh and he play forever so as a young player you know you you have no choice but like hey yeah I’m going to I’m going to believe him too yeah the way you said that you know he could literally say Tom if you eat this dog [ __ ] right here it’s gonna make you better Tom would eat it I’m not joking what if it if it made him better yeah then guess what everybody’s e we’re putting some avocado dog [ __ ] jokes on you Alex I’m joking bro I love you Alex wouldn’t do that Alex love big po Alex got a big pop out of that I bet open PO he was laughing that [ __ ] was laughing he was laughing that was good I appreciate how much he was laughing those guys would sit I mean they they would sit and look at timing of everything like on when he could eat when he could sleep when he needed body W like it it was like when we say a machine and not human it was real bro yeah it work the guy was sitting like smell the the chicken wings the night before the game well like the lme in are over there taking down chicken wings cuz we always had the same food you know at the hotels you have the same food every pregame meal and there’ always be chicken wings and you see Tom just sit there and you know he loved a chicken wing and you just he just had to use that mental toughness and that chin strength just walk right by it and just give it a smell only cuz he lives hey he preaches the tb12 [ __ ] but he lives it man he really does live that’s why that’s why you respect them that’s good discipline that’s good discipline that’s why smell it close your eyes swallow even a fake swallow oh I just had a bite so good oh give me [ __ ] Tony Perkins or the guy who’ eat the the cheese pizza and then you spit it out or was that heavy weighs or DOD dodgeball dodgeball dodgeball yeah [ __ ] Chuck Norris uh what a moment there for Ben Stiller he had a hell of a run yes he’s back hell of a run hey sorry about your neck Stiller anyways debuts got a question for your football I got a ball question yeah obviously you came in former quarterback in college had to learn how to play that wide receiver uh position what’s like that transition for young guys especially the guys coming in now expect to be one straight out of the gate Marvin Harrison Malik neighbors even probably pul or or Baker up there in New England what’s that trans transition like uh coming into the league well the transition these last four or five years has been at a a level that we’ve never seen and I think it’s because of the information that these kids have these days like it used to be folklore on how you used to train for an NFL season through the stories of how Jerry Rice used to run 30 miles uphill both ways and do this and do that now you could just hop on someone’s Instagram and check out what they’re doing at this time right now like your favorite receiver so like the information has helped these guys transition um you know when my I was transitioning I had to go against Real athletic Jokers like you in rookie camp and you know it was tough because I had no clue what I was I couldn’t even get in a receiver stance and you’re over here you know giving me a offhand jam to my goddamn throat um you and Patrick Chong wow wow I almost fought Patrick Chung in that rookie Camp you remember that PC oh yeah you both of you guys always on a 100 but those was are those was a great day that’s how you had to that’s when you had to build it but you came in I mean [ __ ] you had Randy Moss on one side you had West Walker the slot that you had to learn from you obviously early like that would Joey Galloway who a lot of people don’t remember he was out there for training lewi crazy it was crazy man Galloway have you seen him still yoked all right by the way he’s [ __ ] swinging an axe Joey Galloway is swinging an axe in Ohio right now Jack dude he was still running like 43 he was like 38 what a dog now he just golfs every day and chops down [ __ ] trees what a dog anyway sorry about that go ahead but this this transition like I was saying it’s gone a lot better from when I got into the league um just because of all the information we have these days uh but as a younger football player trying to get on the train right away I would always tell guys this because this is what I heard from you know the the Fred Taylor of the world the the Kevin folks of the world they said you know there’s going to be mistakes made and and you’re going to make a mistake you just can’t make the same mistake twice because coaches are looking at that too and that’s that’s a form of evaluating a player can he we expect him to make a mistake does he learn from the mistake uh can he not make that same mistake again and a lot of it is the mental aspect of the game for a lot of these younger football players being able to take things from the classroom to the drills they build in for what we’re installing that day to the seven on seven or the the competitive period the one-on-one or the seven on sevens or the pass block drills to the team drill like can you take things and and be able to process it at a level that they’re going to be able to trust you when it be when it comes to like a game week because you know a lot of these teams are game planed teams we all have a base of plays if you’re on the offense aside that you always pick and choose from but you’re also if you’re in a uh in a system that you know evolves their offense throughout the season you know you got to be able to take things from the classroom and and be able to install it and not have to worry about it and go from there so I would say just for these younger football players that transition period of trying to jump on the train of the NFL you got you’re going to make mistakes you just can’t make them twice and and and be in that Playbook because the faster you learn your playbook the faster you know what the defense is doing that’s when you get to use your athletic ability that’s when the game slows down and you get to use the speed or your quickness or your superpower whatever your superpower is you can’t use it until you know what you got to do y and you know what they’re doing so like that’s the the main thing for these younger football players when they’re trying to come in and and and be an impact player or contribute at any kind of level as the great coach serani said less thinking more athlete take over him that’s uh that’s what he said in his opening press conferences that was the goal to get the Philadelphia Eagles all to a point where they’re doing less thinky more athlete take overy and I think that’s what you’re talking about learning your playbooks you don’t have to think is the only way that could happen the only way that could happen though is if you rep it right because if you rep it right practice execution becomes Game reality so it’s already in your subc conscience once you see it in the situation that you practice and practice then it becomes like Scotty O’Brien used to say like deja vu practice execution becomes Game reality thr that from Bill ask him about that yeah [ __ ] yeah we all steal [ __ ] from our coaches you know what I mean the ball’s the program baby I mean we are we are we talking about it all uh for practice execution is Game reality ask about also ask him like coach how would you address turnovers to the team like Bill would sit there he goes look if you have the football in your hand you have everyone in the Foxboro region that’s Six States five and a half you have everyone in this building you have everyone in this building’s family’s fate in your hands that’s what he would say that’s pretty serious balls Ball’s a program it’s a little bit more than that love it balls a little bit more than program cuz the program means a lot of things to a lot of people uh for this question it’s my last one and um I hate to even bring it up because when it gets brought up there’s always a debate and it brings out like a bunch of people that don’t know I think you’re a Hall of Famer okay is that is that something that you even think about or you know crosses your mind I think you were the most I’m asked every day I’m asked like everyone always ask that’s what I’m saying that’s why I hate [ __ ] asking just because it gets brought up but I would like to be on the record of stating that I think you deserve to be in the Hall of Fame not just because of what you’re able to do wide receiver for the New England Patriots punt Turner you were a [ __ ] nightmare you were you were an absolute Nightmare and then you played [ __ ] defense yeah and then you have some of the biggest plays in the history of football and you got Rings yeah and it’s like I I don’t even I don’t even understand what the conversation is but I do assume you get asked a lot so I apologize for doing that but has it become something You’ become desensitized to one way or the other yeah you know that’s for other people to to to decide that’s not what I decide you know that’s just how the the award works or whatever it is or the you know what I mean and you you look at my regular season I probably didn’t have the numbers for it you know postseason whatever it’s different the games that matter yeah it’s a little different the biggest on little different yeah but people also don’t understand when you guys will see you know you open the season up with 30 40 catches in the first three games you know we got to break tendency so then you don’t see the rock for three games because you know we’re trying to prepare for the playoffs potentially I don’t know yeah that could you look at the stats maybe we’re uh we’re trying not to become too one tracked it’s hard to get stats when you’re blowing everyone out it’s hard to get stats when you’re running it out in the second half of that whole uh postseason stats not counting thing like viner’s points in the playoffs didn’t count whenever he was trying to become the alltime leading score it’s like the mo the ones that we see the ones that are on all the all the highlights the big ones of all time yeah those don’t count just regular season it’s like that makes no sense and then whenever people talk about you they’re like yeah he was great in the playoffs and in Super Bowls okay where was he in August that’s what I and it’s like how was that our conversation we’re having then when other people are up for it it’s like all we’re asking about is how they do the playoffs I you see it’s like a never ending circle but I think you’ve deserved it and earn it and we appreciate you taking a [ __ ]
