We had a hell of a fucking week. Ladies and gentlemen joining us now Super Bowl champ from LSU Pittsburgh Steeler. Giant Redskin. You name it? ESPN electric Anthony Ryan Clark. Here we go. Hey, man, first off bro. I'm extremely excited to do this. I just want to say but you are killing it. I'll be honest when a specialist who was Actually phenomenal decides to end his career early when you guys could play 27 years, you know and decides to get into this business man and do what you're doing. You kind of skeptical but from an entertainment standpoint from an understanding of the game from the way that you communicated with us. Listen, bro. I watched UCLA Stanford because you were on there. So I just want to say what are you doing a real? Good job, bro. I decided to be right that means a lot because I'm a big fan of yours as well so I could literally talk about it. Just said it whenever you come on the screen at our office everybody stops, and we turn it up a lot of Pittsburgh people. So we're big fans of you from there. But also when you speak it's magical not a lot of humans get on TV and do good stuff. You do that with that being appreciated me. Hey, no problem. You're awesome. Especially as an undrafted free agent guy you had to earn everything. So I respect the hell out of that. That's real speaking of earning everything right now Tom Brady for some reason. There's this thought now Adam schefter brought this out into the world that this is his last year as a patriot. He's either going to retire Gordo to another team schefter said it's the least likely option of the three is that he stays with the New England Patriots. How do you feel about this in the fact that the entirety B12 treatment is that you can play forever? I don't think he's retiring I think is a chance to go somewhere else. Well, I think here's the here's the thing right with Shifty reports something we take it as fact, right? So Chef D is he's transactional. And so the hard part here is this is the little bit of Chef D reading the tea leaves he's saying, okay, he's selling his house his Trainer selling his house. Now, you know and I know this is really just like rich people stuff right rich people rich people do stuff like this if you like. Okay, look my house is really big. It's in New England people. They really, you know, buying stuff like this. Let me put it on the market now and if I am back here next year guess what my wife's a gazillionaire I got buku money. We can find somewhere else to live for a year or two and everybody can be happy don't have 16 rooms. We all good. Either way, that's the first thing now secondly, he's faced with his football mortality. We all have heard the rumors that he wanted Jimmy G out because he didn't want to be replaced and Bill Belichick didn't like that. But mr. Kraft did it we're watching his plate not be the same. He's not the same time Brady. Remember it used to be that Tom Brady can take me a receiver you at receiver one of your homeboys who over there running the podcast and y'all can win the Super Bowl. It ain't that no more. And so I think he's starting to Still some of these things and you I was listening to him talk to Randy Moss and he said, you know, I talked to my twelve-year-old. He said it's whatever you want to do that then I talked to my wife and she was like, well, you know, my answer I think there is starting to be some pressure and it's not like going home and your wife. You know, she met you and you were already a millionaire and you make her life better. It's like nah, she actually made your life better. And so I think all of those things combined make it so that he understands that this is a year-to-year Bases his contract is done on a year-to-year basis and I believe that he's preparing for anything but I would never just say Okay. This means that Tom Brady's out of New England or Tom Brady's out the football. Tom. First time was an interesting peek into that dudes life man on Facebook. I mean, it really was Facebook does a lot of things wrong that time first time thing was very interesting interesting look into an alien that plays quarterback for the New England Patriots. I mean, that's a real thing. Let's move forward. Drew Brees is thinking about coming back early. You want to LSU. I'm not sure your ties. Louisiana or your knowledge what the Saints or anything like that? You have a big football brains. I'm assuming you know, if you're Drew Brees aside from the fact that you have records that you want to get. Why would you come back a week before by we cannot get this to extra week's arrests on your thumb while Teddy Bridgewater's bawling out for the Saints. Whoa, so it's funny. I live in Baton Rouge some on our way from the world. I have a family full of New Orleans Saints fans. Drew Brees isn't just the quarterback of the Saints here. Drew Brees has God they talk about Ruby. They say some things about Drew Brees here and I'm like y'all got to be out your mind. I dang they don't want y'all in my family no more. If you feel this way about a real life human, man, who's never been the MVP? Let's just get that out there never once in his life. Did we sing his peers the the the writer say that he was better than every other player in the game. Never not one time. Let's get that straight. But the way he's treated here revered it is Very similar to what Tom Brady's looked like in looked at as in New England. And so now you have Teddy Bridgewater five and oh on a team that until this year had never won the game during Drew Brees has tenure where he wasn't there. Sean Payton had never coached the game without would you breathe where he won now, you went five of them and you beat some teams that you weren't supposed to beat when Teddy Bridgewater steps in against the Rams you say to yourself if this team can go five. Hundred and get Drew Brees back after the by now Drew Brees can work some miracle magic and they can get to the playoffs. They don't need miracle magic. They just need Drew Brees to be Teddy Bridgewater. And so I think that part of that part of that ego part of that what's involved is making him want to come back a little bit early because they can beat the Cardinals with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback. Now you get that week you get a bye week and you get to come back in against the divisional opponent completely healthy and ready. You rode through the stretch run. So to me, the only thing that could rush you back is ego and not understanding another big picture not really being your goal because the big picture should be to win the Super Bowl and the win the Super Bowl you want to be as healthy as possible. So this is a strange strange move to me unless it is a very a move that is selfishly led by your Ambitions and your ego instead of saying okay what's best for this T. So interesting that's kind of the theme of today's show is like you have to remember that. These are humans with real emotions real. Feelings really goes no matter what level they're at their Z goes on everybody. There's Pride on everybody it that would be I mean, it was very interesting when I saw he was going to come back. I'm like just take two weeks to just go ahead and make more videos of you throwing in the practices. You know, you just have two more right here and then come back to credibly healthy Teddy Bridgewater stock is going through the roof. I want to ask you about this because this is something I think only people in a locker room would understand John Elway whenever he traded Emmanuel Sanders said that the locker room would understand why he was traded. There's a standard here something. After the Titans game that is going to leak at some point. Somebody's Greek what happened after things game at some point. He said something happened. They said would you like to space and no I'm not going to talk about it's like well that's going to come out at some point and it wasn't it. Obviously a big enough deal for John Lynch and say no I'm not going to take him. What do you think could potentially happen there and is Emmanuel Sanders going to help out the Niners offense immensely or is this just a good move for everybody? Yeah. You know what? I really don't know. Obviously the Broncos aren't very good. Yeah, you know, so I know that's part of it Emmanuel Sanders wants to win football. All games and obviously when you bring in a guy like Joe Flacco, you're not really focused on the forward pass in the way that you should be. And so I think that that was probably part of it as well and maybe Emmanuel last out. Listen if you're on a team and the best player in football goes down and you know that they're not good defensively, you know that they don't necessarily possess a great running game and you're beaten by Matt Moore if you're a competitor you're going to be pissed off and so I'm not I can't necessarily For manual I haven't spoke to him. Obviously. I know him. Well, I haven't spoken to him. So I don't know what happened. I do think as well. When a GM Wen a Hall of Famer someone who was as great in this game as John Elway says something like the team will know why and kind of hints towards something happening. I don't like that. But if you're going to if you're going to talk about what went on talk about what we're doing, if you're not say you made a business move, you know, why because I'm one of the greatest ever play this game. I gotta go. Jacket, I ain't paid for stop asking me questions because you can do that. You can stay away from those things. And so you look at what he can add to the San Francisco 49ers. I think he's a much needed. Peace. You have good one who's outside is a speed guy Pettis has been more inside running to catch. Obviously George kiddo at Titan is the biggest receiving Target on that team. Now you had a guy who's been a number one. He may be on the the in stage of his career, but we've seen he could still be explosive had a double digit receiving game this year. Ready and so a guy like that you add them with Kyle Shanahan. He's going to find ways to scheme him open and give Jimmy G opportunities to get the ball to him. You also look at the San Francisco 49ers team. They're not winning because their explosive in the past game, you know, Jimmy G's biggest hits were probably with people he's taking on dates not necessarily people that he's throwing the ball to on the football field. And so for him, he needs something extra this team's going to take a step and actually contend once it It's to the playoffs. This passing game has to be better. Eventually. Somebody's going to be able to block them not very well probably but somebody's going to be able to block them and score points. If you play the Packers if you play the the New Orleans Saints, if you get into those games against some of these better teams the Minnesota Vikings, you're going to have to be able to throw the ball and I think John Lynch, I think Kyle Shanahan understand this and aside from slapping Vic fangio. I guess they feel like no matter what team and you may well say there's did in the locker room. It's worth taking a morning and having a quality received it was It sounds it seem Petty to me from La when he reset everything. It's what we said Katie it was it was just a situation that you wouldn't think John Elway would do and then you see it. You're like, come on John are You John Elway? Like that doesn't need to help it. Okay, wouldn't you also want to take off take the spotlight off of your quarterback decisions, right? Like, you know, you don't want people actually you don't want people actually diving in to what you have done at the position on the team you run right at that you play because aside from Peyton Manning falling into his lap and those guys having a great defense that take them to a Super Bowl this position for this team has been a mess right? He's gone from quarterback the quarterback free agent to draft it to moving up and you know, you get Paxton Lynch and then you bring over Case Keenum and you try to sign Brock Osweiler. He leaves you bringing back like all of these things have been debacles. This has been a total failure at this position for John Elway. And so if I was him I'd be saying stuff about other things. To oh, yeah, we are terrible at quarterback. I made bad decisions. But boy that Emmanuel Sanders cannot behave like that. Oh, what did he do John, you know, I don't want to talk about those things understand. Yeah, because you don't want to talk about Joe Flacco Ramsey comes out next time our plane broke down just outside the like just everything that could potentially distract from the thought that the quarterback position has not been great under a quarterback's guidance, which is very interesting. I loved what you said about But the Colts feels like you're getting on board with the Colts and I've been saying this for a long time. They have the pieces. They have offensive line. They have a defense. Jacoby percent is a baller. Nobody's really giving them credit. They have the pieces to make a Deep Run seeing you say that on television literally any time you come on television office. Everybody stops to listen to it. Listen to you do that. I was pretty pumped up about it because it made me feel like a smarter person but it's real. I think it's a real. Yeah, they have the pieces to make a run right now. Yeah, you are a little earlier on it than I was I'm innocent. Yeah, I kind of had to wait to see some different things. I think you get nervous when you have a huge win against Kansas City, but the Oakland Raiders beat you at home? Yeah, you know, so those type of things don't necessarily continue to build competence actually, you know, it's like it's up and down but when you watch the pieces that have been assembled when you see a team that is so good up front a team that can not only protect but create running lanes for Marlin magnet for that running game and now, you know, you can control the ball. All which is huge. I also think it helps is when you come into this season and you're looking at the New England Patriots. The first thing you think is what type of quarterback does a teen have to have in order to beat them. And you look at the DeShaun Watson as you look at the Patrick Mahomes and then you look at the schedule you say okay, there has been one quarterback and one team that's beating that's beating both of those guys. And that team is the Indianapolis Colts. And so looking at that understanding the way that they could play offense. They could protect your coat. % also the skill set and talented a jacobean Brissette possessive. Nobody's taught. You know, we're talking about Russell Wilson and his touchdown interception ratio. We're talking about Patrick Mahoney. Look this guy's 14 and three, you know and his touchdown to interception ratio like that. You know, we're talking about this guy in a different a different way if we're not looking at the outside things and thinking of him as Andrew Luck's back up. This is a real team. This is the team that has the guidance of a great head coach and they're built in a way that if you go down the stretch and you have to go on the road and win the game in Foxboro, you can do that. You have a head coach who believes in what he's put in place and can do that. And so for me this team is a true Contender and we'll see a little bit more about the New England Patriots and what they really are over the next six weeks. I think the reason why I was on it so early is because being on the team for so long, it was very obvious to know what we were missing like, okay. This is what we're missing got be a team, right? This is what we're missing for wear. Time we go into Foxboro. We just get slaughtered now granted the Colts are a young team. So they're going to have done situations like the Raiders. They're probably going to lose another one this season why everybody's like what the hell are you doing? Jacobi's only like a second-year quarterback. Anyways, he's young. Nobody talks about them that way but whenever you said it made me feel real good Ron Clark, we got to get their own bank. I am so thankful that you joined us man here incredible on to Michael. Hope you come back soon. I appreciate you so much. Check them out on ESPN. Do you have any podcast or anything or are you just going television?

I've said that the Indianapolis Colts are going to win the Super Bowl. I said that because the team that Chris Ballard has built around the quarterback position. He's very good this year. So when Andrew Luck retired, everybody's Hearts were broken and it coats Nation are like now we finally got a good team. We finally have a team that can win things to Toby percent is stepped up and bawled out and in key member of Of the defensive side of the Indianapolis Colts a man. Who was the Rookie of the Year last year a man who was an all pro, but somehow didn't get voted in the Pro Bowl a cute dog from South Carolina state number 53 the maniac Darius Leonard joins us right now all look at the Shark look at the shirt. He's wearing a for the brand shirt. I appreciate him. You just got out of meetings. How does the team feel after that massive Victory against the Houston Texans and The AFC South um, definitely feels good man, W to get awareness, especially the vision of game when so we all feeling great man. Looking forward to the men's department. Now, you look like a real athlete on that pick to call game there at the end that thing kind of just showed up in your hands. And then you wanted to go run with that thing. I mean you go down immediately or games over everybody knows that I'm assuming people are yelling at you to go down before you go down though. You do a Roman Reigns this Kenny Stills through the Earth walk me. That last play. Oh, man. Oh man Cody's down up a great defensive player. You know I saw the ball so it would tip. I know I was in a great position to make a play on it. Once I felt like I had possession of it and we always talking about score on defense and I got up and I know I had one man to be and I never got long arms. So I went with a stiff arm and after I got done with the steel for man, I look by the sidelines see the whole sideline step it up saying get down. It's over where I got down. It was great to have you back in the lineup you missed a couple weeks with concussion injury. Now, you're back the team did well whenever you weren't in so everybody knew that when you got back in the team was only going to get better. What did you learn from having to watch the Colts at home? I'm not great at team is you know, we always talk about a minutes man up mentality, you know, we're very focused on on the game plan and it shows no matter who's in a game of who's out game demands guy angle coming up in Real 111 just to hold down. Oh down the team because you know, you don't want anybody to to fail. So when I get in there, you know, they everybody trustworthy and that's what it shows that what kind of team we have. Why is Frank Wright such a good head coach. Nobody knew he had never been a head coach before right. So we had no idea what was going to happen. I think now the Philadelphia Eagles fans are realizing how important Frank Reich was to that organization and now Colts fans are like thank God. This guy is back. He was once going to be a priest or something. I mean, He's he has an incredible story. He seems to be an incredible leader of men. What makes him a good coach know what makes him relate to guys like you guys like Quentin Nelson. Like what makes Frank Reich such a good head coach, um, Hawaii the former player so he knows how the game goes and for to me he cares that's biggest thing. He cares about his players and the see how much he goes for it on fourth down to show how much he believes and they believe in the locker room believe in his player. So you got a coach who trust in you believe in you is making so much easier. Go out have fun and play for that coach. So is that how you guys react whenever you see him go for it on Fourth. We love it, man. We love it when he go for how many shows that he believes it is and if he believes in it, that means we can go out and ask you to game plan and with no worries because if you had a coach this in okay, I believe in this guy would go out and make a play. You have to be scared or Timmy to go out there and say okay, I can't mess up. He's a coach that I mean for one. He says, well he mess up he's not afraid to say hey, that was a bad call. I did this wrong and having Being a guy like that as the head man, you know is always great. That's so interesting because the defense could be on the wrong side of that. If you don't pick up the fourth down conversion, but instead on the flip side, you see a head coach that's willing to go for it and bet on his guys that has to lift up everybody. Oh, yeah, maybe even though we don't get it. I mean the defense is pumping on we wanted and I as we won't all fit the go for it. You want to defend the come out. We want to stop them if it's a midfielder or whatever. We always talk about setting change at the ball on the three online. We're going to get three in our takeaway. You can make them kick a field goal. We're gonna block the field goal. I mean that's that's the mentality that we have as defense. So it feels as if that building is a incredible place to work a good work environment. What our practice is like now, all I see is videos of you dancing from practice. All I see is videos at ey Hilton having a good time. I feel like the Colts are very fun place to be right now. It is man, but like I said starts at the head man over the head man skin allow us to Be ourselves. You don't have to be in the Shell. I mean that's what it is. I mean everybody's comfortable, you know going out doing that job and having fun and you know, the biggest thing about playing a game you got to have fun with it and I coach have fun with it and every single player goes out each and every day have fun and every since Coach Frank got the got juicers last year everybody wanted to bring the juice everybody wanted to bring energy and me being a guy who loves to have fun. Love bringing energy. I'm I just love being being with a coach. Well, I mean, you're a leader on the team. The your second year that is very difficult to do especially in a linebacker position where you're banging a lot. You're making a lot of plays you have been an instant impact maker for a cult steam. That is everybody is sleeping on everybody sleeping on him. When I go on television and I start yelling in the cameras about me being I'm picking the Colts. It feels like everybody is like waiting for me to say I'm joking. It's a real inside that locker room. How good does it feel to know that not a single soul outside of Indianapolis? Has any belief or faith in the Indianapolis Colts? We love him and you know, we love being an underdog because I'm that make us just fight they day in and day out. I mean we love being on a dog we'd go in and I can't see it again. We saw where nobody picked us to win. I'm a week. We love that. We love coming in as an underdog. We loved stepping up to a challenge and it proves we can work out your big time. WWE Fan. I didn't know that till recently. Did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy Friday Night Smackdown to they take care of you? Oh, yeah, they did man. I was kind of upset when I tried to jump my dog romance all my mouth. So I had a control myself a little bit. How long you been a WWE Fan all my life man. It's not my brother always grew up. Just watching it day on Monday Tuesday. Even when you see W was on Wednesdays Friday Night Smackdown. So kind of grew up my whole life watching. You know, what's interesting is foot pump. I think there's a lot more football players that are fans than people really think about it because you're a gladiator out there performing. On a stage and I enjoy the way you play I enjoy your celebrations. You think some of that comes from your WWE Fan Hood background. Oh, yeah, because I mean especially watching when I grew up watching DX some ugly Triple H, they always celebrated, you know, so it always fun to kind of have a signature move like they do so it's definitely going out having fun and then doing crazy stuff. I mean that's I'm a see it all all the time on TV. So, I mean I enjoy doing it. I'll tell you what you're gonna get quite a fine. But if you drop a socket on stuff, I appreciate you taking time out of your workday man. Keep dominating keep crushing your fun to watch. Welcome back happy or healthy. Ladies and gentlemen Darius letter. Thank you man. No problem. Thank you. He's a player. Yeah. Hey, he is a player. He's long long that stiff arm. Oh buddy. Try to touch. He literally was just throwing another human down to the ground. That was an insane situation and he was towering Over Roman Reigns in that picture. They took together. Yeah, it was wasn't he? Yeah, he's a freak athlete to and the fact he was a fourth-round draft pick and everybody said to Chris Ballard was a dumb-dumb. Chris Brown was a dumb-dumb took an offensive guard at number 6 stupid took this no-name linebacker from South Carolina state in the fourth round stupid. They give him like a deer or something something some scouting or grading people gave him like a deer or whatever on the draft to all Pros to all Pros right there automatically as rookies. What's up? Eggs second-round draft but there's only was is that right? Well, maybe I was completely wrong that I had no idea. That's why that's why they were so that's why were they were so not mad but like that's why they graded like that because he was a guy who went higher he was he was a 36 pick. Of course, I know this team but no but that might be why that might in my that stuff's got to try and look for chip on his shoulder like a fourth-round pick but it is really well fourth-round pick is still good spot to idiot, but the the thought that he got Chris Ballard got demolished for this. I would like to hear Chris ballot breakdown like The Scouting thing of this. I mean we're looking at his stiff arm right here on the picture. It is a right cross to this dude's head, which I was soon as a penalty. I would assume that he probably should have got flagged for that because Aw, poor guy is sideways. I mean that's one of the most vicious stiff-arms I've seen. They said Quentin Nelson and as a fullback is going to happen will be more often. By the way. The only thing that stopped because when you see Quentin Nelson run down the field, I literally had this thought like a week or two ago. I'm like man that guy can move that guy can really move normally big guys like that can't move last time. You really see big guy move like that was almost the fridge right way back in the day with the Bears the fridge you can move and I'll I literally had the thought was like man. I wish you always say d line because I think you can put them in on offense and then all of a sudden couple weeks later here. We got him on a fullback. The only problem with that is you take the best offensive lineman potentially in the game off of the offensive line in a goal-line situation as a coach. You're going to look bad if that doesn't work out. It's like, oh you want to get cute take the offensive line off the offensive line, but if Quentin Nelson scores a touchdown that ball might explode that Paul might explode if he catches now granted he was the other route in that Ebron catch was Quentin Nelson Quentin Nelson almost got Had a guy covering them he stumble because he turned to look where the ball was going. Probably cause he wanted to chase it because that's what he does every time but at some point quite Nelson's going to score a touchdown and that Paul is going to get popped and I cannot wait for they might tear the thing in half. Like it's a damn phone outside of Indianapolis and I sent their son and I meant it because it might not be humans outside who have high football IQ is or whatever but he knows production meetings with people around those big media Outlets whenever you talk about the Colts like doing it everybody's like, let's slow down.

And I want to let you know I might be ahead of you guys. I'm not getting ahead of myself. This quote steam is the truth and that guy is one of the main reasons. Why and when you listen to these other shows like all these other Talking Heads when the Colts come up there like yeah, they're nice story, but they're not gonna win and that is of course, correct. And then it's before the entire story was DeShaun Watson losing that game and not the Colts defense winning that game or the code.

Is he on right now? Yeah, we got em right now absolute Legend of a man. He joined us a couple weeks ago in his brain was Mesmerizing the way he speaks about football is through the ice. Is have an All-Pro offensive lineman a man who won a Super Bowl. He's handsome. He runs a real estate business joining us. Ladies and gentlemen, Josh sitting. What up, Josh? Yeah atta boy Josh. Oh my God, he's coming to us live from his man cave. I believe where he has jerseys on top of jerseys behind him. How are you Josh? I'm good, man. How you doing? I'm good. By the way, everything that you were saying. The last time you're on the show is basically come to fruition about the Browns on having an offensive line that type of stuff happening. What are your eyes? Eyes on the NFC right now after the trades that happened to the 49ers getting another weapon with Emmanuel Sanders to the Seahawks getting a good safety to Drew Brees coming back for the Saints. Do you feel as if the Packers are still in the commanding position in the NFC or do you think these other teams got definitely better yesterday? Well, I'll say this. I hope Drew Brees plays this week because I just pick them up and fantasy. No, I'm looking room for you drew. I still think the Packers up still think the Packers. There's in science through the other lead dogs. I was actually just looking at San Fran schedule date still haven't played a single good team and they don't play any better have a challenge until they play the Seahawks and then they have a three-game stretch starting in November where they've got the Packers Ravens and Saints and that's going to be their test. I don't think they're up for the challenge. They're great on defense, but I don't think Jimmy G can get it done and This league is a quarterback league and when it comes down to it, your quarterback has to win the game for you come play all the time. And I think the Packers and the Saints obviously have the better quarterbacks. Okay, let's talk about Aaron Rodgers in the Floor of video creeped out of him and LaFleur talking before the game this past weekend where he said to the floor. I want five today and the floor said back to him. I won six. Then there was a video of the post-victory locker room where the floor gave him the game ball called him an old man. Do you feel as if Aaron Rodgers in LaFleur becoming best of friends in how good news is that for Green Bay Packers fans and owners. I do I really do it's I keep up with the Packers obviously and I read little Snippets here and there and and you can see Aaron just kissing the floors ass and his you know, I'm his comments left and right. It's almost almost shocking because that's not you know, it's not his style so I could tell that relationship. Going well from what I hear from a few of the guys. Aaron is completely bought into everything. He's trying to win he's doing whatever it takes and that's a scary combination because he is the most talented quarterback probably to ever play the game, you know, probably till patty patty Mahomes came out but that that team is really good scary good great defense and he's buying into everything and they're dangerous. All right, let's It real quick. I agree with everything. You just said there. You're a genius. It sounds like I'm going to just try to write down everything you say and take it as my own and my sound smarter for myself. But the let's pivot to the Denver Broncos. Something happened with Emmanuel Sanders after the Titans game in the Broncos locker room. John Elway said that they traded him in the locker room knows why everybody knows why it's not the culture. We're trying to build here. We're trying to win. I've been around the game a long time as have you what do you think that could potentially mean in my eye? Why's he said something to a coach? He did something in that locker room. There's maybe a disagreement. Maybe said I don't want to play here anymore. That story will eventually leak out but I think that was very telling of John Elway to mention those words without giving a full description. Yeah, you don't usually see GM's come out and making comments like that. I'm sure a manual sick of losing and sick and being on a bad team and he probably let his emotions get the get the worst of them. You know. It happened to me many a times and playing On this leg and you know, I probably said something to a coach or maybe even the GM or somebody and I mean, it's just it's time for them that they got to rebuild their not you know, Joe Flacco's not their future. So whoa, it's it's time for them to rebuild and it was perfect timing and it's a great weapon for great weapon for Jimmy G speaking of rebuilding the Atlanta Falcons are going to have to blow that entire place up. I mean that defense which was once an incredible now stinks man. Ryan's hurt their offense thinks they get rid of Mohamed Sanu they ship him out to the patriots who somehow get even better in the middle of the Season. It makes no sense to me whenever you look at the Patriots adding another weapon. How will they be able to keep everybody happy and who will be able to stop Tom Brady and that Patriots team. What is it going to take to beat the Patriots you think or is it even possible? At this point, how do you bet against them? I just don't I don't think it's it's possible in the AFC since Pat went down. He was the he was the best shot at it. Obviously, I mean, that's not a not a hot take that's pretty pretty simple. But that that the the whole team is led by the defense and Tom doesn't have to do everything that he's had to do in the past and that defense it doesn't have any Superstars, but man these guys are confusing as hell playing against Last year with the dolphins the looks they give you just they're almost unbeatable and it just goes to show you how smart that that coaching staff is Bill Belichick is a freaking genius. He is hands down the best coach ever coach the game. There's not even a close second they gameplay in each and every week specifically and you don't see that out of other teams. He gets the guys ready. Each each week is an individual game plan, and you don't really see that. From other teams, so it's it's scary. And you know, Tom's going to make some new a friggin pro bowler. Well, that's scared to think about just having when I got in Tonio Browner boobs, like what I mean? What is going now? They got another guy who's just as explosive and I think he's an incredibly intelligent human so be able to pick up with that Patriots offense very very fast, which is good news for him whenever he played against or not. He who the Patriots played against am Donald just You said that defense disguises things and brings things and nobody can really understand especially young quarterbacks in NFL films and Monday Night Football. Let's say I'm darn olds quote of saying I'm seeing ghosts go on National Television, which I was mind blown by I was because normally it's like good touchdown. So whatever they like that out. I was like, oh they're trying to bury Sam d'Arnaud and by the way, it did I mean it caught on they're not happy about it. Nobody's happy about it. Have you ever had a Hilarious mic'd up situation. And what is the golden rule whenever people are miked up? First of all poor fella, that's gonna that's going to stick with him like the but fumbled it was saying, let's see two years ago. I got a holding call was pulling around. I made a great block pancake. The guy got a holding call in the Mike caught me saying mother. Yeah fricker. Yep, and it was it was pretty funny about his text me after the game. But yeah, there's plenty of those I would I'd be mortified if that tape from the center because the center's mic'd up every game and I'm right next to the center was playing I'd hate for those those tapes to leak out someday. Somebody has those though, like, you know, yeah Snapchat, that's terrifying. Yeah, they're gonna do they're gonna do NFL films in 30 years, and I'm just going to be cringing with anxiety Josh it and guy going into the Hall of Fame. Let's take a look back on some of this stuff that didn't air during Josh sentence career you You mother just anger everywhere. It's a tough position though because you're in this incredibly competitive environment with humans that are trying to rip your head off and then they put a microphone in there and then people have never been in there. Just expecting you to act like a normal individual and that's just not the way it goes. I feel incredibly bad for Sam Donald to be honest with you because I think when he said I'm seeing ghost he obviously meant he thought he was seeing one coverage and it was something completely different. But all it sounds like is he was just scared to death of Bill Belichick on a patriot. Oh, I feel so bad for him. He's never gonna live that down ever. And the thing is every other quarterback that's freaking played these guys the saying goes to so he's just he's only one that just got caught saying it so he's poor fellows all I can say I didn't know you have a camo hoodie on you have a camo hat on you have an incredible beard right now. What is this Wednesday looking like for you just going out in the woods and kill him something right now or what do you got going on? I wish I drop my daughter off for school. And then I've got my son my wife's out of town. So Daddy Daddy Day Care for a few days. Well, I'm very thankful. Not only for you being a great dad being a great football player. But I am very hopeful that you'll continue to join us on here because your brain is an incredible one. Do you think the Browns did anything to make tough? Okay. Here's a quick question. We got like two minutes and I think you can explain this. The last time you came on. He said the offensive line for the Browns is the problem. You can have two bad ol I'm and he can't have three better alignment, especially with a Young quarterback. It doesn't have the wisdom yet. They had a bye week. What could Freddie kitchens have done during the bye week that could potentially help their team, but much more successful, even though they're walking into the Patriots this week and they probably have no shot to begin with go offer the Redskins two first round picks for Trent Williams. That's about it. I mean, they're they're not going to get better and teams aren't trading whole. I'm in a way. It's so hard to get good ol I'm in this league because the college coaching sucks so bad with offensive linemen that it's very very difficult to find good ol I'm in this league. What is it technique is If the body is what is it that is not being coached technique in the systems that they're running they all they have to do is block a guy for a second and they just position block and instead of moving people. They just kind of get in the way and turn their bodies and that doesn't translate and that's why you see offensive lineman. It takes them longer and longer to play early on in their careers, and that's why it seems aren't trading. I was surprised to see It sounds will get traded to the Texans. But you know, the Dolphins are giving away everybody. So thanking their tank tank tank tank tank in. That Bangles team stinks Josh do I mean they're not talking about them they suck too. I mean the Dolphins are trying to stink and at Bangladesh. I think they're trying to be good. They're really bad. Another team that we're not talking about is the Colts your old team. That's seems a good freaking team. I think they will win the Super Bowl Josh. I'm telling you there. I didn't I didn't see it early on I didn't have a lot of faith and Brissette but he's he's playing great right now. And that defense is awesome Marlon Max a baller and that oh Linus Freaking badass by the way, that's that's that's the recipe win. Right? That's the recipe the winner. That's the recipe to win in the playoffs, right? Yeah. Absolutely. They'll make the second round. All right, Josh. I don't need your negativity right now. This has been an incredible interview. I can't thank you enough. Ladies and gentlemen from Daddy Daycare Legend Josh it and thank you so much Josh. Appreciate you man. All right. Thanks guys. He's so good. Dude. We had a disaster. Astor's time at the World Series last night and when I say that I mean it we weren't able to get into the game. We sat at security for two hours until the fifth inning got there before Simone biles opening pitch where she did like a 360 flippy thing in there would've been awesome to see couldn't get in because we got our tickets from the MLB and not seek two hours of waiting two hours of people going through my phone trying to figure out the MLB Ballpark app, which has a 1.7 rating. Should have I wish I had two more hands so I could give that app for thumbs down it is it was a disastrous evening? Yeah, we finally get inside and the MLB Representatives that ran our tickets in there to us because our tickets were in the cloud right so we couldn't get the tickets. They somebody emailed me tickets from the MLB does own said hey, we got you. We're got a good relationship with the MLB. We have The Change-Up show. We stream their rights we can get you tickets. I was like, you know we Have a seat guys like one of our main sponsors we can they're like nah, the MLB they should be client tickets. They should be good. They email us these tickets to get these tickets. I thought I would just open them up and get the barcode we do is walk right in sure didn't know that it wasn't that until we got directly through the security to the ticket person. I opened up the email and it's like, oh now you got to download the MLB Ballpark app. So I download the MLB Ballpark at relatively quickly by the way, good service there get that. Now. I have to verify that that ballpark app is linked to the ticket. Getting okay. I verify that then I have to link the tickets from that one to the app. Ok, then I'll link that. Then. I have to go onto the website verify that that app is me that I linked the tickets and I confirmed it then I had to do that. Then I go back to my app where it says there should be the tickets in your wallet no tickets. So then every human on earth that worked for the Houston Astros in the MLB last night for two hours was telling me how do you do know how to turn on the Wi-Fi they were telling me. Do you know how to reset your phone? Can you close out the app? Do you know how to do that? At yeah, I closed out the MLB Ballpark app. No less than a hundred forty five times in two hours. I had about seven to eight different people trying to go through it and all the while myself all the boys Matt Hasselbeck Molly McGrath. Adam. Amin didn't go but us we're all standing in just a 10 foot by 10 foot area kind of held in purgatory for two hours. Not a single screen of the game in sight only sounds of what's happening out there. It was a disaster. We have it. We're going to make a mini film out of this thing and it Today I realized that you should never not use seek. Even if you go directly to the league you're going to get screwed because we go into the thing after waiting two hours after having my phone fingered by no less than 45 people after me walking back and forth while this whole Purgatory thing. I let everybody walk in front of me. Okay you go first, you know. Hey, I'm the one that got all these tickets. I apologize for this way. It's kind of an embarrassing situation guys. Go first has to back walks in their first. Whatever the MLB Representatives start apologizing. The Matt Hasselbeck start apologizing the Molly start offering up free drinks free food. Whatever you need don't even introduce themselves to us. Don't even introduce them to me. Nothing. Don't even shake my hand. Don't apologize to me. Nothing. This guy named Greg who works for the Houston Astros. He's my least favorite human on earth right now. He didn't even shake my hand. I mean literally didn't even do nothing. They understood that this was an MLB issue that this was their fault. They everybody agreed on the same situation here didn't even introduce himself to me all we talked about it, which I get mad. Back is a very handsome guy 18 year in the NFL quarterback, but he was a guest of mine. Like this was me having these problems pal. It was like you were turtle in the Entourage. None of those the guy turned his back to me at one point and I literally walked up to him. It was like probably five minutes after he just didn't introduce himself to us or whatever all of us. We're just basically hasselbeck's Entourage words, by the way. I mean, there's worse things to be I guess a man has two books Entourage. I guess there's there's worse things than that. So at one point I said almost like hi. My name is Pat. And you can fornicate apologize to me too, and he laughed in my face and then turn his back to me and then continue to talk to Matt Hasselbeck about where he get a hat looks like who nobody wants to buy a $90 hat right now pal our seats weren't the original seats were in like growth 34, but it was incredible. It was awesome to get in there. We did in there to fifth inning we get a chance to see about an inning and a half a good baseball and then the Nationals just took the top off the damn thing and I think it's on record as being the worst World Series game in history. So we waited two hours to get into the worst world. Here's game in history. And then we left before the ninth inning. Yeah, it was a long night terrible night. It was cold as once we got in there. It was very cool. I've obviously never been to a World Series game before the atmosphere was electric it specially there at the little gate area with the detention area that we were in we were literally in a Purgatory 5. It was a Purgatory at once in the park beautiful Park. The people were abuzz it was electric for one inning and then the shelling began. Yeah. It was bad. It was bad. We're not out of control very quickly. I guess we didn't get to see a lot of Good stuff there and first four Innings, I guess some good stuff happened Tashkent one away with the Houston Astros hat, but he definitely was not pulling for the Astros in there. Especially after that Greg guy. Yeah, I mean, well, first of all, they were massive underdogs the Nationals were so you know too good of a situation not to bet on them. So I did and like hey, we've been saying it for a while Seema Destiny. My destiny. I hadn't and Burke said yesterday didn't believe in it. They just took the Astros top two horses to the glue factory the last to know Like they might they might sweep on the World Series is very interesting because foxy and I had this decision yesterday foxy cancelled, Michigan by the way. Yeah, cancel it all you're done. He's got some Michigan State cancel Jim Harbaugh cancel all Detroit sports. They stink and Ford trucks obviously stink. Okay foxy that's on the podcast. He doesn't one of the most epic ramps I've ever heard foxy Go On by the way, there's a little bit of fire, but it's something he believes in last night you and I agreed seventh eighth inning. I forget what it was. Yeah. We looked at each other because there's another conversation. Relations happening around us as the fans were just filing out of the stadium which potentially is their last game of the year. They're just walking it out and down six or eight whatever it was at the time. I looking foxy foxy looks me baseball stinks doesn't it? In fact, she was baseball does thing and then I was like, but if they hit 10 runs in this ninth inning, it's the best sport of all time turns out they didn't so we're a hundred percent right baseball sucks stinks. It sucks. It's so bad. I don't know how anybody likes it. I have no clue how anybody likes that. That sport but you're letting last night's experience kind of Tainted a little bit. I mean, I wouldn't do that overreact. I think of the hospitality. We got a Yankee Stadium. Oh, you know, I mean there's a flip side to that. There's some teams that just do it right and then there's some teams that just refuse to do it right turns out the Astros are are the latter not the former Zito won a bunch of money from these little wedding games. We did during yeah, he was hot. Give me Jose channel one point. Yeah. Yeah. It was for you. You're right Jose Altuve just so happens to be the same has the same name as Jose Zito Perez and they had a Jose early whenever they were still in it and boy. Well, I guess it was like fifth inning. It was they're still at anything and Zito lit up. Honestly. I thought there was a time there where z0? I actually thought you thought that that was for you. I think I was just God what do you call like those guys that found the costume. I just put my hands up and I was ready to go. Yeah Gladiator. Yes. Those guys have fought the Coliseum remember the boy was water park anyway, so that's how we feel about the Astros in the world series that guy Greg's worst. I work and I don't know where yes, he's a punk dude. I felt so bad too because there's nothing less that you would want to do than to deal with your phone and other people you were walk around the stadium trying to get these tickets then we finally do get the tickets and Greg it walks up the hassle behind. To me because all of us were sitting back while you're doing all of the work and we're just cracking jokes about it. Well in the people at the window that treat you like maybe it's your fault. You don't know how to use your phone first what you're very good at your phone. Yes, there were and we brought everyone you could possibly want expert wise to look at it people from the MLB. We had Engineers from our side they flew in an engineer from Apple. I'm pretty sure to go through it. So it's like it's not our fault. Well, then they told us that they can't just give us the tickets because they could see the tickets on the screen, but they couldn't Give us the tickets because the MLB gave us the tickets and they put it on lock. So nobody at the building could do anything until somebody from the MLB and then somebody from the MLB came and they were the people that apologize to have some back to Molly and gave them a free drinks and stuff Daphne. Well, it was just an unbelievable situation. It was unbelievable. It'll be a mini film. It'll be a tragic is what is it called the tragedy? Yeah, it'll be a dramatic tragedy of the day. We thought we didn't have to use seek and instead a nightmare happened. Yeah lesson learned. That's a bad thing. All right, I'm going to do something. I want you to tell me what movie was from. Hey. Sandy attaboy Zito one of Adam Sandler's movies that got ripped off. It should have won at least 10 Awards unbelievable got like seven hundred million views on Netflix. No awards that you watch it die. Now I have are you kidding me? Well Tim Donaghy said will Sansa is about to be an Academy Award winner will sassy says they were all yeah. I didn't know his name, but I don't know if that was the accent. It was a accident by the way that Tim Donaghy interview was fucking wild bro. Landing gear just went down Samir Briggs. Just took his from 800 miles an hour. You probably know why 340 miles an hour right now and assume this is fucking outrageous how fast we were going earlier. I still don't understand all these things get up in the fucking Sky. I don't fully understand it. The guy told me it's like a like when you hold the end of a hose that you shoot the water out. There's some theory that is used with that explanation. That's how they're fucking plane is flying. That's interesting to me. I don't know what the hose is. I don't know which one's my thumb. I'm just hoping it's a little bit more consistent than when I used to spray my fucking car down. This is insane. We would like to talk to you today about something that draws fear for many a man.
