All right. Today's show is a compilation of some of our favorite moments from radio from this past week starting with former Jets Center. Nick mangled who we had on the show on Monday. Noon live from for World Trade Center. To be honest with you. I don't really remember what we talked about because that seems like it was about six months ago, but I am very excited to re-listen to it because I do remember laughing and I do remember being very entertained by Nick mangled joining us now is a man with a big brain and All-Pro for the New York Jets a man that I saw at the new the NFL draft. Couple conversations with had a couple beers with and is one of the most entertaining and electric humans ever graced this Earth. Ladies and gentlemen from Centerville, Ohio, Nick Mangal how we doing Nick not as great as you did you enjoy that intro. I wish it could have been better. I'm so sorry about that. Yeah. I thought the second time around was perfect really nailed. Let's talk about your jets real quick. We could talk about everything you do sports betting. Ames doc Cam that is the company that you are currently promoting. What do you do with them? How's life with sports betting dimes? What do you think about the sports gambling world that we're about to bounce into so I'm breaking into it. I'm new to it Jersey, you know, it's legal here to be able to do it. And so for me, it's a tool that I can use. It's all free check them out, you know, they give you all the stats and all the different research that you don't want to do and they're a big help. Okay have Have you learned in this is when I gamble on the NFL I feel as if I have an advantage because I feel like I don't read the X's and O's okay. I read the Jimmy's and Jess if a guy comes off a bad game, I'm like, you know what this guy going back to his hometown is going to want to prove a lot of people wrong, especially coming off a bad week. He wants to get rich. I think he's going to have a good game bang on my hangar Hammer the over for this have you found that at all or are you just literally getting your feet wet right now? I'm NG my feet wet and I thought I would be good. I tried daily Fantasy last year and I thought well that would be easy. It's not I just got worked over bad. So now you know, obviously I moved from the free side for some money at it. So this should go swimming but I think the good thing is is if you have a lot of money like yourself you're supposed to just dump it all into gambling. So remember that as you continue this thing, let's talk about the jet shall we so this was To be the year. I mean Gary Vee Mike Greenberg KFC from Barstow. I believe yourself. Everybody's excited. We got left Bell. We got this elusive running back who's like a magic man. Now you see me now, you don't we got this quarterback that was 12 when he got to the league now, he's grown into the year and bang just one thing after another and I'm mononucleosis is attack the New York Jets what is going on? And will the jets ever not be cursed? I think it's some point they will not be cursed. Unfortunately right now. It feels like we're cursed to have your quarterback get mono is absurd. I've been starting linebacker who absolutely dominated for 3/4 get injured and then out is going to hurt but at the same time, you know, as you know, there's world next man up next man up clock, you know, if you got to go out there you gotta kick it to go. You gotta do it. No. And so I think that's our hope is that next man up bills in we get a week of notice which you know, it's better than guy get hurt on the first play. But so I don't know it's going to be a wild time tonight. I'll be there at MetLife rocking some tailgate hanging out doing a little pregame show. So it's going to be going to be a wild time Adam gase. Got introduced to the New York Jets in one of the most memorable press conferences. I think the world has ever seen right. I mean he was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed out there understatement of the year would I just said his last press conference where he was describing Sam Donald being down because of mono and some seemed like he was a bit beat up. Is there a way if you're the coach of the Jets? What are you saying to the team? Like Hey, listen, I mean Recently, we've had every single branch of the unfortunate tree as we've fallen down to earth here. What is your message to the team tonight? If you're in that locker room, I think the message is you know, all is not lost. We have a magnet. Whoo. All is not lost me back up from has started games in the NFL. It's not as if not a guy coming in green was no idea what he's doing. We have a power running game that we got a ride. You got to ride that horse and just keep riding it just right. In it. Oh, yeah, and you know play Lights Out defense and I think Greg Williams is going to have that defense amped up him and him and obj already, you know battling will get Greg Williams to G's came out there and said o Dell who just joking and then he said do the Giants like Odell. I don't know you tell me I enjoyed a little give and take between a d coordinator and wide receiver who thinks he's been wronged by a guy in the past which I mean that's Up For Debate. I'm not in the locker room. I don't know what they're being. Let's move forward to the NFL as a whole this morning. I was on get up and Rex Ryan in the pre-production meeting almost had a complete conniption fit about these refs and how the game is being called in. The game is being changed. How do we fix the officiating issue that's happening in the NFL. There's billions of dollars on the line and I'm saying that Not only was Sports gambling and with contracts and with tickets being sold and ownership and everything like that. There is so much money on the line in the NFL and whenever something becomes this big with every mistake gets what's that going magnified? There it is. That's the word I'm looking for and it seems as if the refs mistakes have been magnified but man they seem to happen at a more rapid rate Nick. Oh they are and I think what it's showing is that you got to go full-time rest. I think that's our only hope they're still going to be human are but you want to knock out something human. Are you make the guys full time and I think that helps and you know, I think that's that's your best bet. I don't know any other way. Other than have guys who have no other jobs only job watch film watch games and go over it and over it and over it. Again Walt Anderson, and I have a bad relationship. Okay, he kind of he caught a false start on me in England on an extra point. That should have been on the nose tackle, you know, I was trying to get the D line off of our guys on field goal. So I go hard count on 2 on 3 because the offensive lineman hate field goal enough. I mean, it's the worst job in the history to be Offensive lineman on field goal. Do you agree? I concur it's bad. You're just sitting there you stand up and literally they tell you to die slowly. That's a technique die slowly. So it's a miserable thing. So I try to go hard count from the belly. I got a nose tackle to jump thought we should have been able to go for two from the one yard line instead of the extra point what Anderson literally looked at me pointed at me and said I'm calling it on one. So since that day I've hated him. But with that being said, he's 97 years old. Hold still calling games. Is there ever going to be a time where there's a turnover in referees? I mean, I think we need a new class to get in there and have you ever thought about potentially officiating because I think ex-players reffing is the way we really fix this old thing said would be interesting ex-players the fishing so much more would get away with well. I think it'd be more reasonable. And also whenever they make the call people would be like he's played that must be right. You know what I mean? I think they get a lot more credit than like Walt Anderson. He's like holding. I shut up Walt. That's everybody's first reaction is if it was an old player, I think they'd be like a that's reason more like a hockey thing. You know, right? Well, I think the big thing that you look at it too is they don't have a farm system where they getting these young reps coming up is there I think school with these guys go to you know, is there a class they can take, you know, America is instilled with farm system of football where kids are playing, you know from third grade on through High School through college to the NFL they get To the game and they know what's going on without having you know, you never see like a high school kid out there learning how to rest. I think that could be something you could look it. He's kind of Hope hockey league has more kids. Yeah. I think Ed Hochuli is the farm system just him and I says Hockley in there just creating referees on the whole thing and then Cromartie you were teammates with him. That was what that's one of the most met. Hey, he's a good dude, by the way. He's a great guy. I love girl. I agree. He got painted in pretty bad light on that Hard Knocks with the naming of his kids in the birthday. As I think there was potentially some editing is what I was told by Cromartie himself. I'm not sure if that's accurate I wasn't there so I can't say but yeah, he definitely took it on the chin and beating on them. We interrupt this conversation to say don't judge a book by it's cover, but we also know that's exactly what most of us do. Appearance can be everything especially in a professional situation which is why I want to talk to you about that bag over your shoulder. Are you still carrying that old College backpack to work like a stooge?

So you played for Rex Ryan. I did what was that? Like he seems like he seems like a spark plug of a man just an electric Factory at all times. Is that occur? Well, there's fat Rex and then they're skinny rails two, very different people fat Rex is a riot and hilarious and me that football is fun again, and we really got after then he got Jenny you got pretty and next thing, you know, you know, he's in New York. He looks great people are throwing themselves at him and I think it went through his head tell you the truth, but I love pranks was awesome. I had a fantastic time with him. He's a fantastic coach if he ever gets another shot. I think he would do a fantastic job. Okay, but that's so funny. That's like Jonah Hill. Yeah, everybody says when Jonah Hill got skinny. He lost his funny Aaron Rodgers last week said Sam Elliott without the mustache not Good Sam Elliott with the mustache good. I do believe these little things matter they do they do as well as an offensive lineman. How's the body feel how many years did you play in the NFL a trick people for 11 years? Okay 11 years in the NFL than your at Ohio State and then there's high school at Centerville, which is basically college football. The Elks same high school as a Jayhawk and Jeremy cash my holder in college not to be forgotten about three to Kirk Herbstreit greatest analyst out there also from Centerville, Ohio. Just gem after gem. How's the block for the brand Mike Nugent also from Centerville? Yes, what's in the water? Are you guys you guys got some greatness in the water over there? I can respect the hell out of that. Sorry. We said track no. No, it's a real thing. So is the future of football players and how do you feel I mean you're in one of the toughest positions there is how does the body feel after all this and you don't have to dive into the mental part of it after Gronk said last week. He probably had like 20 concussions. You're literally in hand-to-hand combat every play of your life. How's the body feel? What do you think can be done going forward? And is this just inherit risk with the game of football that's going to happen. Bobby feels really good. You know, I got four little ones running around and I think they hurt me more than football over it and but it is, you know playing around with them having a good time not waking up every morning feeling terrible after getting in a car crash every day. But you know, it's one of those things moving forward with pain. It's football, you know, what you signed up for, you know what you're getting yourself into, you know, you're going to feel terrible you take the bumps group. Try to be as smart as possible about itat take care of yourself while you're playing and then after you're done playing and you know, it's just I don't it's one of those things if they go hand-in-hand and have collisions. You're going to have hits. You just have to be smart about. That's I think that's kind of the majority of players Thoughts by the way, every once in a while player will come out and be like, do you wanna felt lied to me about this this and this and it's I don't want to say it sounds like a money grab because I don't know what that person is going through. I can never put myself in their shoes. But anytime that stuff comes out. My immediate reaction is like hey, I was a bunner. So I'm nowhere near as physical as you were. But you had to know going into football that at some point there is a potential Collision it was going to happen. I mean, it's just the way the game of football is played we live in a wild world though where there's a lot of lawsuits a lot of money to be had in this goes back to the officiating. It was just billions of dollars up for grabs. You never know what's going to happen. You know, it's funny. You never see anybody can play in that college life to it. Laying on it was like I know what Alabama lied to me and you know, it's always the NFL. Well, that's because everybody knows that the NFL is making billions. Everybody kind of just assumes that the colleges are making billions season colleges. Hey, how do you feel about that California legislature that passed it? I like it. I I'm I'm intrigued I think there's there's so much money involved. I think college kids do need to be paid but there needs to be a smart way to do and I think that is in a form of a trust. I think I don't think you can just write him a check and I think there's there's different safeguards that you have to put in but I you know, there's just too much money in college football that the guys aren't getting. Former teammate of yours Tim Tebow Came Out Swinging against this I find it to be quite a polarizing issue, which I didn't think really was going to be that the case. I feel like he Came Out Swinging so hard he must be being paid by the NCAA. I'll you think there's little collusion back there in the back to world. Do you see how hard he fought has? He fought that hard on anything else Jesus? I'm running point. Ha ha ha. Did you see Darren Ravel tweeted that during his motivational press conference. He was wearing the xv-15 shirt, which will go on to be his logo for the Tim Tebow business while giving that press conference, which a lot of people would say taking advantage of capitalism, which is what the student athlete student human athletes are trying to do currently so it's kind of an interesting situation there Nick student. Yes. He should he be allowed to use 15 doesn't forecast alone that Write the number. Yeah, I would argue that Urban Meyer owns every number. Yeah, I mean every single number Urban Meyer owns. Hey, Ohio state looks really good to you. Keep in touch with any of your alumni stuff. Are you still all in on the Buckeyes or is it just kind of as a fan? You just kind of watch good football? No. No I got I was actually finally able to get back after 8 years or good friend a Jayhawk got inducted to the Hall of Fame along with Mike Nugent as well. So I got back got see some guys. And it was neat if neat being back on campus has changed a lot in a years, but I think I want to get back a little bit more. So a Jayhawk and Mike Nugent went into the Ohio State Hall of Fame. This is true. You got invited to go attend their Hall of Fame thing, but you just kind of sat there and watched or I crashed it pretty much. I don't know. I don't know if anyone actually reached out to see if I wanted to go. I just understood so that worked out. Well, are you in the Hall of Fame already know? That was that about what is that all the everybody else from your high school is in that damn Hall of Fame except for you. How does that even work? I'd have a little bit of anger towards Ohio State V. Sorry the Ohio state if you please get it, right? Yeah, wasn't that good in college, so I don't expect that you sucked in college and then what you got the NFL and just became an animal. I mean, I don't think I saw that wasn't like breaking down any award banners or anything. When were you drafted first round? First I don't know six. Yeah, man, you suck bro. Hey, I can't fathom how bad you were to college football to get drafted in the first round. You must have been so terrible to us that so terrible. I'm happy. I hope you never gonna Hall of Fame. It would be doing that Hall of Fame a disservice if some terrible football player like you got in there. I know right? You've been knocking it down for all the greats that came before me. Okay are the jets ever going to be good this year who wins tonight? And I can't thank you enough for stopping by we need you in. Here when our New York at some point. Yes, we will I love come down the for World Trade beautiful spot Jets Jets and Browns tonight's gonna be wild if the defense can stop Baker Mayfield and the offensive line can make some holes for our friend Le'Veon Bell. I have Jets winning 1713. All right and one more time. I'm being told to ask you about sports betting times.com, which we covered at the literally the beginning of this conversation, but people are telling me in my ear to cover that again. So what is sports betting dimes.com which is what you were covering. We talked about it earlier to show if you're a publicist for sports betting times.com or somebody from Westwood one or from does own that didn't listen to the first five minutes of this conversation. What is sports betting dimes.com so they can hear it again Nick as for And I'm.com that's probably why I was asked to do it. Again. That's a hundred percent on me. That's the Western you add Essence.

Thank you, sir. Thank you good stuff from Nick mangle. They're always a big fan of when he comes on the show and looking forward to when we get to sit down and chat with him again. This next guy. I've been a big fan of for a while and this is the first time we've had him on the show and he didn't disappoint very easy to be a fan of a Hard worker, you know coach's son hard hat lunch pail kind of guy High motor guy first one in last one out, you know all the cliches you've heard them all they all apply to this guy wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. Danny. Amendola joining us now is a man. I can't wait to talk to he played he played college football in Texas Tech that he was a ram. He was a return specialist an absolute nightmare of a man to defend whenever you're a putter or a kicker. I hated him on the field. Love them off the field. He found a home in New England. Then he went to Miami now. He's a Detroit Lion turning things around for The Undefeated Matt Patricia Lions up there wide receiver number 80 classic white guy Danny Amendola. How you doing, buddy? I'm great. How are you? Pal? I'm good, man. It's good to talk to you. Yeah, it's great to chat with you man, watching your career from afar and over the internet has been a lot of fun because I remember like it was just yesterday me begging you to take a knee on a kickoff for a Touchback in St. Louis. Now, you're a world champion you get talked about in TMZ in you're helping lead the Detroit Lions do a complete turnaround. How is it in Detroit? You guys are still undefeated with a 100 and 1 record. How are the boys feeling up there? Yeah, it's great man, you know, it's still early as you know, but they were getting things rolling coach. Patricia's been doing a great job getting us ready to play getting this, you know, physically mentally prepared. So we got a tough one this week going to Philly. They played Sunday night versus the Falcons everybody saw that you know, they're a good team got a great quarterback. They got good receivers good DB. So, you know, they're well-coached they fly around and we're up for the challenge. You have become a guy that when Patricia talked Finding his guys, right? I talked to Matt Patricia before week 17 matchup against the Packers. I talked to him and he said he wants to find people that kind of fit the culture. He's trying to build their I would assume the culture. He's trying to build is similar to the Patriots because there's so much success in both of you are from there whenever he brought you in. Was there a pressure or a conversation you had with Matt Patricia where he was like, hey, I need you to lead the guys in a proper fashion. We want a little bit of what happened in Foxborough to happen here in Detroit. Yeah, there's definitely some carryover, you know, when it comes down to the how we prepare how we practice some of the things that he goes over and meetings how we watch film how we communicate with each other. There's definitely some carryover obviously coach Patricia was very successful in New England. He's brought some familiar faces from the time to time he spent there to Detroit now. So there's a few of us in the building, but we want to we want to you know, we want to have our own identity we want to You know, we want to be our we want to be the best Detroit Lions team we can be so, you know, we're all in here in Detroit. We love playing hard for the city the city's electric. It has a lot of tradition a lot of a lot of history and sports here and we want to play hard first and foremost for the city and for our team that city has been miserable revolving around the Detroit Lions in the Pistons. I mean, it seems like it's been an eternity. Unity since they have been good but it also feels like a city that's ready to lose their minds for the Detroit Lions to be good. Have you gotten a sense of that? Even though it is early? Is there an excitement build up around the time about the undefeated 100 in one Detroit Lions? No question and no question. We had a we had a great turnout last Sunday at our first home game at the opener, you know a bunch of fans with one o'clock start and they got out there early. I know they were tailgating they were I could smell the It smell the booze. It was it was fantastic. So it was it was awesome to get out there in front of our home fans for the first time in a regular season game. I know I know how excited they are how hungry they are for for a winning team and for and for us to have a parade down Woodward, that's what we're that's what we're all trying to do Danny. You become such a handsome guy. You become such a handsome guy. It's kind of taken over the Danny Amendola images is attractive white guy who's been on this super star wide receiver. Seaver I remember when the Rams you're just a little bummed that cat. Sorry buddy viewed the question. Yeah, the come up has been what the come up has been a real one for you. How has it? How has your life in the NFL? There's no way you could have thought you'd be this guy that you are now how has the entire experience been? It's been great, man. It's been you know came in undrafted got cut two times before. I played my first NFL game and played on three teams before I played on my first NFL game when I was in st. Louis started out in Dallas and Philly and then you know finally got my start man I'm going on my on my 12th year undrafted. So I'm I'm excited man. I still have that chip on my shoulder still have that Competitive Edge and I want to play football for you know for some time to come, you know, there's still some things. I want to get done and you know, I enjoy playing playing the game. I enjoy the time with my teammates in the locker room. Obviously, I you know enjoyed playing against you man. You are a monster back in the day dude, and you know, I always I always always loved how you would switch up what direction you were going to try to try to punt the ball and really screw us up. But you know, you're a monster back there dude, you know, I appreciate I appreciate the words. Well, I'll tell you what Danny that just made me feel real good gonna scratch your ear. I hit you. Nobody talks about that anymore. They always talk about the guy in vitamins talking into a microphone, but I do agree you were 4 no, and I don't I know you're trying to build a new culture. I understand that but Allah. Of the world got introduced to Danny Amendola whenever you were with the New England Patriots, I mean you and Julian Edelman became this little tag team of Caucasian kids just out there making things happen on the field. What did you learn from? Julian Tom? And that relationship that you think is kind of expedited your success in the NFL the biggest thing I learned from those two guys specifically is, you know, how to create a lifestyle around, you know, trying to win football games whether it be your You know your workout regiment your how you prepare your how you eat how you sleep how you recover how you work out how you train how you know how you play the game and that and we haven't even started about talking about practice yet. So these guys practice harder than you know, you know anybody that I've ever seen and that's why they've been in the league in playing at a very high level for a long time. So that's the biggest thing. I took away from from Tom Julian and guys that you know, I grew up with him in New England is how to create a lifestyle around with Football do you eat avocado ice cream and all that terrible stuff the tv12 does no. No, I'm not I run a lot more than him. I gotta run routes all day. So I get I get a little leeway on my diet. You know, I can I can I can eat, you know some Bluebell some some some real shit, you know Realize Real suits. Yeah. I heard you. Let's talk about you becoming this pop culture icon that you became there for a couple months this offseason. Did you ever did you ever get nervous that everything off the field was going to distract you on the field never dude, I love you know, I love playing ball. I love getting out there in and practicing and going through Camp going through OTAs going through all the all the hard stuff, you know, and it also takes my mind off of all the other, you know, possible distractions that could take away. That and footballs first and foremost in my life Married to the Game and and that's what I'm about. So everything else is just hogwash and most of us most of the stuff that has been out there or as you see as fabricated information. So obvious Advantage after getting to know you a little bit as a person once I started watching you become this pop culture thing. I was like, oh, this is hysterical. I was so happy that it was happening just because you're you're like, Incredibly nice, dude, and then there's all these things start happening. I'm like all this could be so much fun to watch Mostly because I am a comedian and that's really the internet but also because you're a good guy in the ability to stay at the top of your game while there's potential distractions is an X Factor in people's longevity of their career speaking of longevity of career. Matthew Stafford has been with the Detroit Lions since day one now. He signed him he was drafted in the the last CBA. He got 60 million day one. I think he could have bought Detroit The day after but what have you seen from Matthew Stafford that you're like, you know, what aside from chugging a beer fast, which Tom Brady can do this dude has got it in a you enjoy playing with him. What is Matthew Stafford shown that has made you want to do that his Competitive Edge really do this is unbelievable his you know, he loves to win he loves to, you know have success in practice and in you know in OTAs and camp and in these games and you can he can he kind of let this show You know last week he threw a touchdown pass take any holiday to go up late in the game. And he's running down the sideline pumping his fist like Tiger Woods man. It's great to see him fly around with with enthusiasm excitement and his Competitive Edge is something that you know, I've only seen in a couple guys. So, you know, I'm really happy to play with them really happy to get to know him to grow with him to learn and you know, hopefully catch catch some football this year. So, you know, I'm excited. What he's going to do? Well, I think we all are excited to watch we have a kid in here is a die-hard Detroit Lions fan is the box and whenever you got signed to the team, he lost his mind. He's a big fan. He's also an attractive white guy. So I think that could be there but I think you're making a lot of people a lot of lions fans who potentially be miserable a long time excited about the future. What's it called? What's the culture like in that locker room? Is there music playing? Oh, yeah, man, it's great dude. It's everybody Vibes. Well, man, we got we got a good group. There's no egos in the building man. Everybody kind of checks that at the door everybody comes to work with, you know, some you know, focus with intensity with eagerness to get better to learn and to prepare. So, you know, we can play better, you know, we made some mistake last week. We made some mistakes a year the week before that we came out with the tie the first week. We went we squeaked out a win last week against the Chargers and we did some good things but we but we're learning and we're And we're improving so as long as we're growing as long as long as we're getting better, you know, that's all you can ask for and to put our best foot forward against Philly this week is what we're going to do last question before I let you go and I can't thank you enough for your time. What is Patricia say about the tie was he like this is the dumbest thing we've ever done all the time. Yeah. I mean personally, he was pissed. Everybody was kind of pissed. I mean we weren't so mad. We know we knew we didn't lose but we knew we kind of, you know, we let him come back we let the door open. Open but you know, we took it as a learning experience. You know what I'm saying? I mean it's a tie. What's that? I know it's the most odd feeling you can have much like kissing your sister, but I'm sure you know, it's it's a learning experience. It's something that we're going to be able to grow from and and hopefully get better later in the season. So luckily, you know, we made from a few plays there at the end week one to pull out a tie out of personally. I agree with ties. It's hard to think. I think we need to have like a sudden death kickoff. Yes, perhaps and kick type of thing. I know Pat you'd be up for that. Yes. I'm all in on that. I think there should be a shootout. This is how I should go. I think everybody should be allowed to get involved here. But I think I think on each side two-point conversion attempts for both teams one side to the other if one makes it one doesn't they win if it's a tie through three, let the kicker's get out there and start bombing some that's it. That's it longest field goal wins go one. For one if the first one to miss you get maybe you get one rebuttal. Maybe you don't but you know much like I feel like we should Implement a little bit more of like a beer pong lifestyle here in the football over time leagues. So yeah, there's no ties in beer pong. There's no ties in beer pong. People forget that I can't thank you enough. Mr. Amendola. Are you still returning kicks? Are you done with that? Because you're old kick no punch. Yes love puns and then trying to try To get open in the offense and move the chain still so having fun man enjoying it looking forward to the rest of the year. Hey, man, so thankful. You joined us in all of those cliches about wide receivers the high motor first guy in last guy out coach's son married to the game. I honestly believe the cliches are cliches for a reason. I think that might have been you but aside from that you're a freak athlete who has has grown into an incredible player. It's been fun to watch can't wait to see the line success this year with you and thanks for coming on. Mr. Amendola. Thanks Pat appreciates. Nice talk to you nice catching up. I'm a huge fan of yours always have been I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to do and bring us in the future man. I'm I'm on board. So I'll talk to you soon brother. You remember when I almost got killed outside of a club in New Mexico because I tried to hop on a guy's motorcycle. Absolutely. Well, that was the first time we got the I think was that Hank Baskett charity Foundation event Golf Course deal.

Thank you for everything Danny. Cheers everybody. It was a wild weekend in Mexico. That was a while turns out there's more greed is catch up to you luck. Then you think I wrote try are he's a good dude man. II didn't want to hit pepper about the off-field stuff. I mean it was dating Miss America.

I mean, we've seen it since the beginning of time and all he's done is just continue to show up and show out. I think the lines like them a lot. I'd assume you have to absolutely any time you get a guy that can embrace the Troy you gotta keep him just like Stafford. Did you hear him? Say that right there by the way, did you hear him? Say that? He loves to and Stafford whenever I did that week 17 interview with him. He said all we want is a parade down Woodward and when I said that allowed a lot of lion Sands were like, it'd be nice if Stafford ever told us that I think they're quiet guys.

He was incredible looking forward to him coming back on the podcast and open it up a little bit more. You can tell he kind of wanted to on the radio. But obviously the FCC has some pretty tight restrictions there to close things out. We have a incredible interview with it. Pittsburgh Steeler Legend Charlie Batch it a bunch of good insights about the Eli Manning Daniel Jones situation because that was eerily similar to a situation. He was in he talks a little Barry Sanders and what it was like being teammates with him and breaks down the entire Ben Roethlisberger situation. I don't know why we were so surprised that he was so good. We should have known it Chuck batch incredible quarterback used to sling the pill all around the yard. Used to always play with him an NFL blitz laser rocket arm used to break thousands of tackles and he's good in a microphone joining us now is a man who is a backup quarterback for a long time. He threw for 11,000 yards in the NFL player for the Detroit Lions. I had a chance to chat with them at the rookie Symposium during breakout meetings. He was leading one of them and Incredibly knowledgeable man, a man who talks for the media for the Pittsburgh Steelers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Nia mr. Charlie bash Charlie how you doing? Fellas? We're excellent. How are you? Charlie? Life is crazy and Pittsburgh right now, I'd imagine. Oh, yeah definitely is it's been a crazy 48 hours. That's for sure. Okay. So the Pittsburgh Steelers a lot of things have happened Old Tommy John snuck up and attacked Big Ben Roethlisberger's right elbow, then all of a sudden Mason Rudolph starter the offense looked like it had a little bit of a With Mason everybody's like wait a minute are We Done Yet in Pittsburgh, then they trade a first rounder for Minka Fitzpatrick saying hey, we're still in this thing. What is the mindset with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Are they giving up hope this year or do you think they're in it for the long haul and they really think they can win some games this year with Mason Rudolph. No, I really do think they feel that way and having Mason Rudolph here on the roster. They really felt good about him two years ago. They had in graded as a first round pick. He just happened to fall in Into the third round he felt like he was he was too good to pass up even though there were other pressing needs that they had on the football team last year, but now he's rushed into this position and made it easier because when he walked into that building on Monday everybody knew that Ben was going to go on IR now, this is his team and like you mentioned he lit a spark in on that for that offense in that game coming in in that second quarter and done playing the full second half stats would have been probably about a 123 rating if that Donte Moncrief holds on to the football. Doesn't result in a interception so they really feel good. As far as where he's at. Will he make mistakes? Yeah, absolutely. Essentially. He is a rookie. This is his second game that he's going to now participate in as he gets ready for the 49er. So it's going to be interesting to see how he prepares this week A lot of people are saying Big Ben never steps on a field if Tommy Maddox doesn't get hurt in basically the same fashion. Is this a long-term thing or do you think Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers are expecting been rowengartner to come back stronger than ever after the Tommy John surgery what think talking to all the doctors. I'm pretty sure that they feel pretty good about the surgery and him coming back stronger in the offseason the good part with been you have the surgery now, you don't he doesn't have to pick up a football till April May into OT a start up next spring. So I think that's a good part for him that question remains. You just don't know how he's going to respond because I don't think there's a comparable surgery out there. I know that people were talking about Jacob alone or Holmdel home from Carolina think that's how you pronounce his last tell homie. They yeah, so, you know, they were trying to compare it to that type of surgery, but I think it may be a little bit more severe. So, you know, we'll see him follow a monitor with his progress looks like but you're not his game is that you know, you used your veteran guy you're older. Yes. They did extend his contract this year. So he feels pretty good that way but here you are possibly watching your replacement if he goes out there and balls out man now, there's going to be a lot of questions coming to next year. Whether he is the quarterback of the future if it doesn't plan out for Mason Rudolph. Yeah, you have been in the bullpen to come back in but that now, you know, what does next year's quarterback class look like you don't have a first rounder because you just traded it away to Miami for Fitzpatrick. So there are a lot of questions that are lingering around Pittsburgh. You're a backup for a long time. Also an incredible starter for the Detroit Lions, but you're a backup for a long time. And every time you came on the field. I feel like every year ends are I know thought that the team had a real It's does the city of Pittsburgh think that the Steelers have a chance right now with Mason Rudolph or is everybody kind of like we got were in tiny little brown we got rid of left. Now Ben's elbow decides to quit everything is in shambles or do you think there's a real feeling of you know, what next man up Mason Rudolph is going to be able to do this. Well, I think they feel good about it performance last week. They said, okay. Well, we didn't expect that but I think the lingering question remains because nobody has ever seen this before because he is essentially a rookie. Can he Now do It consistently and he has 14 games to prove that in that start this week on the road and the tough environment in San Francisco. So I think we're all kind of scratching our heads everybody trying to we'll all learn this together. Can Mason play every all indications that I've seen throughout training camp. He's really has picked up the offense and I think he gets to that point of now candy now continue to execute and do this on the road. So I think we're all going to figure that question out in the next 60 minutes when it happens on Sunday. We interrupt the show to talk about something fairly. Serious something near and dear to me and it's some of these health issues that have been popping up that Blindside us. I mean it's a pain but I'm not going to take it lying down.

They've been A lot these last couple of years. A lot of drama was like real housewives of Pittsburgh there for a while in the Steelers locker room. Let's move on. This is an incredible thing. We're looking up the Charlie Batch on the internet earlier and it was said that you were in the locker room when Barry Sanders decided to retire that man Andrew Luck retired here came out of nowhere and Barry Sanders name is still mentioned all the time about retirements that popped up out of nowhere. Did you guys know that was coming? What was the initial reaction? And and what was Barry like as a dude? Yeah, I think whenever what Barry was phenomenal, I mean probably the most humble person. I've been around other than Troy Polamalu and those two are very similar that way when it comes to just their personalities, but nobody knew what was expected, you know here I was now go entering into my second year. I thought the man it was pretty cool playing with Barry. Let my rookie year. I'm a have him over the next couple of years. He wasn't there during the OTAs having conversations with him. We had no idea that he was going to retire and then all of a sudden on the eve of training camp. Decided that he was going to fax his retirement letter into Wichita Kansas is the hometown newspaper. So we were all caught off guard were sitting there were scrambling and you know, the coaches are trying to figure out who we can trade workers. We needed a running back. So it really caught everybody off guard to change the whole offensive game plan. We ended up trading for great heel was one who was with the chief said he played with the Rams prior to and it was just tough because now you're trying to get him up to speed everybody kind of wrote us off but for us we were able to Rally we got off to a six and to Are we beat the hot Rams team who eventually won the Super Bowl at the Midway point? So it was just something that you had to kind of rally to around around each other and I think that's what's happening. Now in Indianapolis, whenever the retirement happen when they look kind of similar situations, he didn't practice in the offseason and then all of a sudden you have per set that sitting there with those reps and when you get the worm and you just got to go and play and hopefully things work out with with him up there Indianapolis. And of course, you know, it was great plan for what Barry Sanders for one year. Yeah. It's crazy. Of the the league is because every week There's a new headline every week something new happens. Something news mind blown the NFL does a great job controlling the narrative all year round the Andrew Luck stories. Basically already done being talked about nobody's even talking about it anymore. But Barry Sanders name is one that is just a constant in the NFL. Let's switch names. The Manning family is one that is always chatted about for whatever reason. They're really good at football won. A lot of Super Bowls Eli Manning has now been benched in for the New York Giants day. Daniel Jones Young quarterback going in there. Is that an awkward move? You think is is it a weird quarterback room right now for Daniel Jones knowing that it's his team now or do you think everything is going to be laissez-faire? Let's go for it. Yeah, it's going to be awkward just because you have did you know when you're dirty unquestionable leader in the offseason it and all the way up until this point of the announcement, you know, now, you know, the, you know loyalty has to switch a little bit on that team to say. Okay. Yeah Eli you were you was our man now we're moving forward. So it's just awkward and it just kind of reminds me of my rookie year when I was with Detroit days Scott Mitchell started the first two games. He also really got benches in week 3 and I Was preparing to get ready for Minnesota on the road and you know, you're kind of trying to now, you know mold and figure out what your career is being shaped like but I think everybody, you know, a lot of people in New York that already thought that that particular move was going to happen. It was just a matter of when now that the move is that made they cannot waver and go back to Eli. And if for whatever reason Daniel Jones struggles reminds me of what's happened last year in Baltimore when you're sitting back in your making the switch from you know going to get from 500 to Jackson and whenever he struggled in that playoff game, everybody was now talking about trying to flush, you know, Rocco into that lineup and Harbaugh said no way. He's our guy and ultimately to see it paying off for him in the first two weeks down in Baltimore. So they just have to Rally around Jones and say listen don't look over your shoulder. This is your team and go In rocket. Yeah, cuz they're our egos involved in everything. I mean, that's just the way it goes. I think that's going to be a delicate situation. I hope Daniel Jones does well for the New York Giants fans and I'm interested to see how Eli Manning handles that Lamar Jackson you just mentioned him if you got a chance to watch that offense, do you think it's sustainable or do you think that's an offensive defensive coordinators will be able to figure out the Wildcat took the World by storm and then the rpos which used to be called play actions kind of took over the world and defense coordinator. Start figuring it out. This offense in Baltimore seems to be one that could be very difficult to figure out with all the tight ends are different sets and Lamar's Jackson ability to throw the ball all of a sudden. Have you got a chance to see the Ravens offense perform at all? And do you think they are a potential dominant AFC team for the next couple years? Why do you think they had the potential to be a dominant team do I did I expect Jackson to do what he's doing and you know have a perfect passer rating on week one. No, but he did and he had to go out there and prove. Because you know coming into this season everybody question whether or not he can throw the football down the field, but when you have the running ability of Jackson, they have to respect that first and foremost. So if you're a defensive coordinator in his lie, you're going to say okay. We're going to load the Box stop the run Jackson beat us with your arm and he has proven that this far so it's going to be interesting to see if defensive coordinators can keep up to what he's doing but also can Jackson protect himself when he's now running the football and not and not take those unnecessary hit so he can sustain throughout the entire year. He stays healthy. Z-man Baltimore obviously is the team to beat in the AFC North now can they compete with Kansas City? We won't know that because I don't think they get the chance this year unless it's the playoffs but they do get a shot at New England. So it'll be able to test where they are from that success competition level Dom is the New England. And they've only gotten better as an older guy who played quarterback into your I think in their 40s late 30s, at least, how do you think how do you think it's sustainable? Even he eats avocado ice cream, I get it and he does cucumber pizza and stuff like that. But how does Tom Brady still perform at the level that he performs it sometime father time has to catch up to him. Is that wrong? Am I accurate and sing? No, Absolutely catches up to everyone and we are whatever workout regimen that Tom is doing up there is working for him and like you mentioned man. He's kind of scratch your head when you spend, you know, 20 years in this league and half of them you're in the Super Bowl is really are you serious? This it that New England situation remind me of Golden State you're like, okay. Yes. That's Curry's already good. But you're at Kevin Durant to that. Are you kidding me now? All of a sudden here you are adding Antonio Brown. I'm like, I cannot even happen and it just, you know babbles me. And you know poured from comparisons use everyone thought that the Steelers could be, you know can compete they got blown out by New England and you add that element in Tom is doing nothing but getting better and now quarterbacks or being knocked off with injury and now here's the older as the Elder spokesperson Now versus all these younger guys and Kenny now knock off The Lion and it's going to be interesting to see if they can do it. But whatever whatever reason all assigns are indicating that is probably going to be a Kansas City New England AFC Championship game and we'll probably see Tom and a championship again, you never officially retired from the NFL I can you still spin it were you thinking about going working out for the Steelers or what? I never officially retired from the NFL but you not his game is once they send you your severance check. The league has officially wiped her hands of yours. Did I'm walking officially retire. Are you enjoying the media world? This has been an incredible conversation? I feel like you just taught me a lot. Are you enjoying the me? Is this what's going to happen are you or is this gonna be your future? I really do enjoy it it I like it. But I don't love it. The only reason why I don't love it is because the Steelers play five National games Prime Time games and I jump on the postgame radio after the fact so I don't finish till 2:30 in the morning. That's the only reason why I don't love it, but all everything else. I've enjoyed it thoroughly and I enjoy talking just talking ball General. So trust me. I'm one of the ones that are very happy on the Steelers Nation is not happy whenever the Steelers. Are flexed out of prime time, but I'm completely happy because that's the difference between me finishing at 2:30 in the morning or 7:00 p.m. I can respect that man. You talk about newspaper people. They talk about deadlines writing deadlines. They like the earlier games as well. So I don't think the writing knock on that. Who do you you have the New England Patriots in the Chiefs in the AFC Championship? Who do you have the Patriots winning it all against two? I actually have them probably proof. It's kind of hard because at that one point I'm thinking to myself. Okay, it's going to be this is going to be the Rams and then I'm liking what I saw from Seattle what they did to the Steelers over the last uh last week. So I really think is going to be Seahawks and New England and Super Bowl again Charlie everything about me every time I speak. I just want to I literally want to just slap them in the Eight in the mouth because everything is says is just perfect. Everything Russell Wilson says is perfect everything. He does seems to be perfect. He was like back when I was in college and Tim Tebow. It was like this guy can't be like this all the time. Then I meet Tim Tebow and he literally is like that all the time Russell Wilson. I've never got to officially meet him. But every time I see him on TV, I'm like this guy is so full of grumpy. I cannot take everything. This guy says, it's just perfect. Perfect. Perfect. And then he leads the team on these. Credible long drives and he drops balls into the bucket for me seems to be the perfect quarterback. Why do I hate him? Charlie? Why do I just have this natural hatred towards him and should I it's one of those the his history reminds me of Ben Roethlisberger early on you're like okay to legion of boom is the reason why you're winning why you're in a Super Bowl and why you even have a championship and then all of a sudden he continues on his career, they lose their defensive side of the ball and he's making some pinpoint-accurate throws. He's our man. I can respect it very similar to what Happened with Ben Roethlisberger that Defense number one for a long time here with the Steelers and he started making those accurate those and that's when people started respecting his passing game when you look at what Russell Wilson brings to the table. He doesn't check all the boxes. But you had he's out there and one of the top quarterbacks in the league you can't do anything but respect the guy third pic. He did he had to earn everything that he has at this point and man watching him in person man. It was even better than watching on TV this past Sunday. I'll tell you what Charlie you I had to learn everything in your life as well from Munhall to Eastern Michigan to the Lions Back Home to Pittsburgh. I can't thank you enough for joining us. I'll get around on Russell Wilson. I think he's too perfect. I just think it's too public. It has to be fake, but maybe it's genuine. Maybe he's just that incredible of a dude in a quarterback Charlie. I will speak nothing, but your Praises for the rest of time. Thank you so much for joining us. Ladies and gentlemen, Charlie Batch. Thank you man. I appreciate thanks for having me. All right. That's the show. It's currently 4 a.m. I'm fucking dead.

Today's show features three of our favorite interviews from this week's radio show (Live on Westwood One from 10 AM - Noon EST, and live streamed on DAZN) with some incredible guests. First, Pat is joined by friend of the show, 7x Pro Bowler, 2x First Team All-Pro, former center for the New York Jets, Nick Mangold. They discuss his new venture into sports betting, the problem with all the horrendous refs in the NFL, his thoughts on the bill being passed in California to pay college athletes for the use of their image and likeness, what the difference between skinny and fat Rex Ryan is, and why he isn't in the Hall of Fame at Ohio State (2:20-23:10). Next, 2x Super Bowl Champion, and current WR for the Detroit Lions, Danny Amendola, joins for a chat with Pat. They discuss the differences between Tom Brady and some of the other quarterbacks he has played with, what he likes about the culture being built in Detroit, how all the fallout from his social media affected him, and whether or not it was fabricated, and he and Pat reminisce about a crazy night they had together in New Mexico (23:45-38:42). Lastly, 2x Super Bowl Champion, 12 year NFL veteran, former QB for the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers, Charlie Batch, calls into the show. He and Pat discuss what his take is on Daniel Jones starting over Eli Manning, and how he was in a similar situation when he was in Detroit, and what the best way for Daniel Jones to have success will be. He also chats about the Big Ben situation with the Steelers and whether he thinks they'll be okay, and he dishes on what it was like being teammates with Barry Sanders, and whether or not his retirement was in any way similar to Andrew Luck's (41:39-1:01:07). Today's show is a good one, come and laugh with us. Cheers.
