0:10 billy do you think uh the king is really upset about the death of the queen the new king i mean he's a king now there had to be part of him that was like man this is finally happening huh i mean he's like 80. 70 something years i mean and he's gonna he's going to hold it for a couple years and the thing about it is everybody wants prince william to be the king because he's so much more liked than prince charles or king charles now right he's not the most well-liked guy in the world you know and i think people are like let's get to william which means they're like wait a minute that means charles has to pass so hold on let's not be wishing people dead mike i had no idea you've really been thinking about this oh listen we we are big fans of the crown wow we love this i just i don't know we're intrigued by it all how it all runs and i mean listen you got to give her her dude 25 years old 25 she took she took the crown

1:08 i mean it's absolutely amazing and held it to sit for 70 years wow it's stunning it's not like she was elected every couple of years she just literally had to not die it's you know what is amazing too it's it's your job and and the thing that's wild as i hear okay prince charles who was a very opinionated guy now has to basically suppress all his opinions while he's king i mean it just gives you further indication of what's the power structure of basically you don't have any you know i mean it's like okay now you're king now keep your opinions to yourself right okay wait wait a minute yeah billy that's uh you're right she did a tremendous job and just she continued to breathe stay the luck she's staying alive look i'm not gonna get to 96 all right i'm just gonna say it now i have unhealthy habits it's just probably not gonna happen for me so right it's impressive i like we will so you know

2:05 and listen and she had her wits about her just about the whole time i mean so it's really impressive i mean what what she's gone through and done and seen it's it's it's pretty wild but yes we're big royalty watchers you know we watched all the you know that's more our weird thing to be mike i gotta be honest with you i know well maybe that's to do with chris was way into it and i got kind of sucked along in there in sydney as well you know it's all the royal weddings and stuff i was just going to ask if you like got up at like 6 a.m to watch the royal weddings and all that so by the way god bless football everyone this is not at all how i thought we would start today but i haven't started there bill i have a question for you mike so as our royal expert how does this play out now like i would assume there will be a grand like parade or something like to honor her maybe like driving through the streets or

2:55 something and then how long before we have like the coronation or like the public coronation really the the ceremony that's going to go on for her is going to be unbelievable the amount of dignitaries that are going to fly in from other countries it's going to be unreal it's going to be an unbelievable show i don't know the the ramifications or or i should say the procedure of how long it's going to take you know they just switched prime ministers you know the one was ousted they have a new one now as well um uh yeah i i don't know how long that's i don't imagine it's gonna take too long for now king charles iii uh to take over i'd imagine they're gonna they're gonna do that pretty quickly but her ceremony is gonna be unbelievable do you have any games coming up like what's the timeline on this should we reach out to draftkings see if maybe you could go be our correspondent over there for all of

3:47 these things unfortunately i i'm doing i have to fly to uh uh dallas i'm doing tampa bay and dallas so that's fine for this week but you know in a couple maybe next week just tell your bosses hey you know the queen died so i would love to go over there now there's a couple of london games but i'm not doing them for westwood one i'm doing the mexico city game um in november but uh i would love to be doing the london game and really go check things out who's doing it paul rank just be like i'm mike f and golic yeah exactly uh kurt warner is on the on the thing yeah yeah really pull rank i'm kurt warner he's kind of curious kind of a kind of a big deal yeah yeah they made a movie about him i know i was it by the way i was in it and got no credit i don't think really what do you mean what do you mean you i saw the movie i didn't see you with it then you didn't watch the entire movie i was in

4:36 it i was interviewing him on the sideline when i was covering arena football you didn't no that's right an apology i ripped him saying he wasn't a hall of famer but he is whole family about that for how he handled kurt water i said that to you wow wow you know what billy i'm going to turn the tables on you mike how do you feel about billy during this episode of god bless football at some point marcus freeman head coach of notre dame is going to join us i think billy suggested to him at one point that they changed the play like a champions side to play like a national semi-final assigned how do you feel about that so it doesn't shock me anything that that you or billy ask which is always why i say that either myself or gojo my son needs to be on the shows yeah he was there he led us i know because i i think i would do all i could to block you from talking to anybody of substance because of the same questions you asked

5:46 hold on a second mike he was saying that he wanted to he wanted to make the school cooler so we were like well maybe here are certain steps also if you listen long enough and you get to ryan day we ask the question everybody's been wondering yeah how's how's your hair so dark yeah i know i know things he has to answer but these are people that mike and myself have to deal with after they come on the show no no no they come on and you ask them ridiculous questions and then you're writing a check that we got a cache later for when we i go talk to marcus or talk to ryan day and they're like he invited us he invited us to notre dame he said he'd take us to the sign and everything he was just being nice he wants nothing to do with you he called me right after the interview and said who are these yahoos i'm going up there we're going to spend the weekend at your house i mean how about that yeah you are going to be up here you're

6:38 not spending the weekend in my house but i know you're going to be here so rude mike now just as jess is coming up here as well her and her boyfriend she can spend the time at the house but you will we'll try and find you some other some other accommodations mike so people around there yesterday i was telling people don't buy in on all the other bills hype should i backtrack on that yet wow wow you know it's like one of those do you look at that game and you say i was more impressed with the bills or more disappointed with the rams i mean to look that good right out of the gate you know so many people are picking the bill so many people are picking josh allen for mvp and my god did they look the part and it could be you know a 60 year old man and von miller that's one of the key linchpins and getting them there mike i walked away from that game uh both being impressed with the bills equally as impressed with the bills and

7:29 and had uh similar you know equal concerns for the rams because stafford doesn't look right that offense uh does it look like uh look right cooper cubs out there by himself uh but let's just start with the bills because that is the story josh allen picked up right where he left off last year uh you know in terms of that playoff game against the chiefs i did have the two interceptions one was not his fault got hit a lot mike by the way uh but i think we are we're witnessing a josh allen who as confident as he's been in his first few years in the league mike that was like a masterful performance last night like he has total control of that team total control of that offense he looked a bit more confident just in terms of you know changing the play at the line of scrimmage and stuff like that it's a guy coming into his own mic he's certainly one of the two or three best quarterbacks in the nfl if not the best

8:23 quarterback well without a doubt and his size helps him he's like a he's incredibly mobile for six four six five 240 pounds you got to give ken dorsey a lot of credit the new oc and play caller you know brian dabo at least to be the head coach of the giants so this was dorsey's first time around and calling the plays and boy the the the play calling looked good the execution looked fantastic but i'm with you on josh allen you know the one thing that everybody will worry about is the fact that he's big and he's not going to juke a lot of people so he's gonna take some hits he ran the ball he was a leading rusher as well ended up running the ball ten times now again those aren't ten planned runs sometimes he's going to take off because he knows he can he'll throw a nice stiff arm in there like he did last night as well yeah but but that's the one war you have i remember as rookier he started running

9:10 a lot at the end of the year and it was impressive and his second year they were trying to say okay let's not run as much but then the offense doesn't run as well you got to kind of let him be him you got to let him do his thing and run when he wants to run you hold your breath a little bit because even though he's a big guy still a quarterback and he can get nicked up but boy the passing side of it was incredible for the fourth time in the last six games they didn't punt i mean my god that's unreal you're nine of 10 on third down conversion let me just tell you as a former defensive player there's nothing more disheartening than not being able to get off the field you got them in third down you got one play and you can get your offense back on the field and nine out of ten of those times they converted and stayed on the field it is so disheartening as a defensive player they shut off this ram offense in

9:58 the second half and you're right outside of cooper cup where are they going you know allen robinson you know they're one of their new receivers only it was targeted twice and just had one reception and the time staffer looks like stafford when you know he's gonna throw one or two to the other team i had the three picks mike are you concerned about them or is it it's week one it's too early i mean about anyone right i'd like to say i'm i'm not concerned because it's week one um but you know i you stafford can concern you right i mean in knowing he can turn the ball over a little bit can they get a bit of it they had no running game at all last night can they get one of those at all um so i i no i'm i'm not going to say i'm concerned it is one game so i'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that uh that they can come out of this is that why we saw the rush to lock in mcvay maybe a little hot seat

10:52 conversation if he wouldn't assign the extension he was flirting with broadcasting now he's there that was a bun that was ridiculous anybody that bought into aaron donald retiring or sean mcvay going into broadcasting sorry not buying it they were both coming back it was just talk to get your deals and they both got their deals so there was never a concern to me that mcveigh wouldn't be there or donald wasn't going to be there uh mike this bill's team because well combination of josh allen and the fact that they play in the afc east okay this team i mean right this team is going to be a team that plays in the afc championship game they're going to have 14 15 wins like everything we said about the bills leading up to the regular season seems to be accurate i know we like listen the nfl is so unpredictable josh allen can get hurt and weak too but if he does not get hurt mike this team is on a path to at least playing having the

11:49 opportunity to play a game to get them to the super bowl they'll get to they look like they they check all the boxes right and you're right because every year we get surprise teams in there and they were about the biggest lock of every uh prognosticator out there that oh yeah they're going to be the best team in the afc and represent in the super bowl and they did look it and for them i know you do the whole one game at a time thing blah blah blah but you're right in that division i mean they're going to dominate it like the patriots you know have dominated in the past that division and and that's exactly what you want you want in january teams to come to buffalo you know you if in look in the afc who who could they possibly be against the other top there's plenty of top teams we're talking about and some are used to cold weather but you get the chargers coming to buffalo you know in january you know

12:41 that that's what you're looking for it's what home field is all about and that's what i'm sure they have their sights set on and they have the ability to do it be just what you said because of the division they're in yeah mikey hey did we have a chance at uh josh allen did we pass up on josh allen was that we took sam darnold of course you did you chose second in the draft of course you passed up on it third third the giants chose the second i'm sorry yeah my bad say juan boy barkley yeah yeah take one boy and the bill's moved up to get josh allen right yeah yeah yeah yeah getting up moving up to get josh allen is proving to be as beneficial as andy reid and the chiefs moving up to get patrick mahomes patrick mahomes it's unbelievable we just sit there and take sam darnold yeah oh you had zach wilson now so you're good thanks mike you'll see him you'll see him in week four listen joe flacco might be the best

13:35 opening day quarterback the jets have ever had i'm not even joking you're right in a revenge game right already four years in the making he's been waiting for this moment mike quickly and we'll get to our guest at billy i'm telling you billy not bleeping around first week of god bless folks yeah uh help answer a question billy thinks that super bowl week is better than week one in the nfl i say no what says you well i mean i like super bowl week better because i don't i don't have a team that i cheer for i think opening weekend is better overall for the fans because every fan is involved by the time you get to the super bowl you're down to two teams it's kind of like why the draft is so popular every team is involved so for me i like the super bowl week because you know it's the two best teams where we're getting to the biggest game something every player strives for but for the fans i completely think it's it's week

14:33 one because this is a sport in football outside of baseball where it happens occasionally hockey or basketball where you can get a losing record team in the super bowl the next year so you truly as a fan unless maybe you're a jet fan can have hope every single year unless you're a jet fan um that that you can turn it around that you had a bad we know four or five teams that didn't make the playoffs last year are going to make the playoffs so i think opening day for the fans is is more exciting than the super bowl especially when the super bowl comes around and your team's not in it that's the thing they don't get mike i was trying to explain analysts like us we don't have rooting interests we just call it down the middle we're fans of the game so for us it's like this is the culmination of a great season we're gonna see who's crowned the champion where like stu gotz and mikey they're like oh the jets how are they gonna do

15:24 mike white you know like all that stuff can i go back to a quick thing yeah yes analysts like us yeah what so what's your nose you're putting yourself guys in the category with me the guardian ranked him as the fourth biggest best nfl insider what happened yeah it was fifth it was fifth don't over sell it sorry he was the fifth best uh nfl insider in the business mike david sampson was ninth by the way wow wow i i don't even know where to go with that yeah i don't even know what to do i don't know how to accept it yes he said their comments put it in print can't tell who said it which one of you don't know so mike when you watch like on sundays you never like i would assume you like to see the eagles do well right you know somebody just asked me that do you root for your former team and you know i i don't i don't nobody is there anymore that was there when i was there obviously certainly from a player

16:16 standpoint not even upstairs um but you do lean a little bit toward if you know if you really don't have a horse in the race kind of uh yeah i played there i love the city i love the fans there hardcore for sure but very passionate so there's a little bit i think that's true where i may lean toward them yeah i would say the biggest one for me is notre dame you know running for them but notice no not at all but i would definitely lean yeah yeah just just whispers of everything around me that says notre dame on it a billy before he's so mad at us right now mike what game do you have this weekend um it's sunday night you ever get do you have the tampa bay dallas kid i have tampa bay dallas i'm going to be doing all the sunday night games save for one of them will be the monday night game in mexico city uh arizona and san fran i'll be doing that game as well but for the most part sunday night so yeah

17:11 i'm heading out to dallas soon um for that game yeah it should be a should be a good one certainly no drama whenever you're talking about the cowboys or tampa bay should be fun you'd be poking around do a little poking around so you know because this is what billy would do is the fifth best insider in the nfl a little poking around the brady situation if you don't mind you know yeah i'll i'll kind of pin him down we'll respect that we'll have a one-on-one respectfully is that how you do it yeah don't cross yeah because people are starting to you know gossip about marital situations that's kind of our business that's tough i i agree i find out if he's on the math singer or not you know yeah marriage stuff who cares that's the big thing because it was that or or the bahamas or the marriage thing yeah i don't want to get involved in that exactly uh mike quickly just on the college front alabama texas you're it's

17:56 really the big game of the weekend just your thoughts on on there's no way texas will get that game right alabama too good no i i i have to say i think this is another one like georgia and oregon where you have two big-time teams facing off against one another but i think it's it's going to be it's going to be a landslide alabama's way i don't see this being too competitive let me just say texas is not back just yet no but they're getting there orchards coming archie's coming it's exactly right quinn viewers will have to transfer somewhere else again right yes uh all right billy who are we going to first first off do we have a uh do this is a big the first episode of god bless football for this football season so uh mike uh mike thank you for being a part of it you won't hear mike the rest of the way here i mean we did a lot of work maybe you will you might never know he had a busy week we had michael and

18:45 junior join us for some stuff we might smedi join us yeah michael senior will be on a lot of stuff moving forward he just had a very busy week yeah but if you want to know what he was doing billy to be honest with you mike tell them the story about me talking to you while you were at a casino i mean yeah stu and i had all of this yeah soon i had a long talk while i was in a casino he threw me off i lost about 800 bucks because of him um billy when i started talking to mike he was swaggering he was cocky he was confident he was like hey i'm up 300 bucks i hear all these machines in the background i go mike are you in an arcade i already couldn't wait to be playing skee-ball 59-year-old man he goes are you in an arcade i'm like what are you doing arcade now listen our kids really love skee-ball though i get it and and maybe maybe an arcade is a kid's version of a casino right so maybe that but arcade

19:38 that was hilarious yes and then so billy he's up 300 you know he's confident then i get a text a couple of hours later lost 800 bucks yeah yeah you threw me off you have to be in a minute yeah i am the cooler the big news there by the way though we're a couple months away from the big six so what are we gonna do oh yeah that's right pardon your house offend i'm not into i'm not into the birthday prize party just give me some cake let me have some cake and some alcohol i'll be good to go all right coming out of the cake yeah well anyways big episode this week mike oh and if you want you can compete against us in draftkings daily fantasy speaking of gambling yeah go to dkng.co levitard it's a three dollar buying you can win some money and mike just for you for your 60th birthday the first guest on this week's episode of god bless football your coach marcus freeman freeman's going to join us then later we're going to talk to the

23:28 there yeah she did but you know i had a little bit of influence on the starburst like i'm not a huge yellow and orange starburst guys oh yeah get rid of those your favorites guy yeah yeah i like that you mix like the uh the red and the paint together i like to mix those two together right yeah so now you can you can get them from the store where it's just the red pink it's like the favorites yeah yeah you get the tropical punch one oh it's delicious i had some this morning wait tell us about this setup so what else is there like give us the other candies that are there well the other so i got jolly ranchers i got starbursts with just the reds and then it's these it's real i call it rich people candy it's i don't know what they're called what are they called truffles or the lint the lint truffles yeah those are i said those are rich rich people marcus how do you know you're one of those rich yeah you're rich now are you

24:20 not aware i don't think that way you know i still call it our candy stu gods you would know this if you listen to golic and smutty by the way we went over the candy dish a few months ago right marcus yeah yep i saw that you didn't like you what what didn't you like starburst i hate starburst i don't like jolly rancher either i'm a chocolate person i'll eat any piece of chocolate my boyfriend makes fun of me because after every meal i tell him i have to wash it down with a piece of chocolate and he's like you're a seven-year-old man and i'm like oh so the rich people chocolate is perfect for you yeah there you go you saw the way she lit up when you asked about it she knew the name right i love a truffle uh marcus i'm wondering even even in defeat against uh against ohio state what i'm i'm wondering like how did it feel like this has been a long time coming for you being the head coach at

25:11 notre dame the first game and so i'm just wondering like was there a moment where you know right before kickoff before the game during the game where it's like oh man i'm the head coach at notre dame i'm in charge of this entire damn thing yeah i don't know if there was actually a moment you know maybe right before we ran out on the field you know you talk about your adrenaline rushing and it's the same thing i remember being a player like before you took the field you just had those you know those rubbles and rumbles in your stomach you've got the adrenaline you're ready to roll and then uh once you kind of go out there you just go you're just in your element but i think right there as we came out of the tunnel and we were waiting for ohio state to run on the field and you know i kind of took a moment to look around said okay it's real let's go you know did you get emotional no no no i did you know what i went back

25:59 in 2019 when i was at cincinnati and uh i remember coming out a little bit early that game i was just a defensive coordinator and and i kind of watched the band i'm like man that that time i kind of looked around like okay i got a little emotional like this is different i've never been here on the visitor side but it was all business on saturday i know you're not on social media nearly as much as all of us um but what do you make of the fact that for the first time in a while it seems like people who don't normally like notre dame are starting to come around to the idea of notre dame because you are a very likable head coach well i hope it helps with with recruiting i told i told our guys earlier i said hey did anybody watch the tv copy and one of the recruiting guys who wasn't at the games that i did i said did at least make notre dame look cool like if you're a recruit do you want to come to notre dame he was like

26:48 coach i want to come play for you i said okay that made me feel better you know and so as long as we make notre dame attractable that's what i want well what's the least cool thing about notre dame like what are the things we need to clean up to make it look cooler that's a great question it's it's it's perception you know it's perception of old and boring and you know we have to make it um where it's actually attractable you know and and but but to me it's the ability to explain what those perceptions of of being old and boring really do for you like the notre dame network the education and what this place even more than football does for you because that ultimately as you go throughout life is what what is attractable right is when you're able to use your degree and have a good job and make some good money you know that to me is what what everybody aspires to do well some coaches have taken to doing

27:40 dancing with some recruits with like one of those 360 cameras going around them is that something you think maybe would attract more people to notre dame or hey if it would help get a recruit i'll do whatever you know there's one thing you'll learn about me is if it helps with recruiting and it helps get players at notre dame i'm all in four star or better though no doubt listen the standard is the standard now around there coach coming off that game with all the emotion and everything and then watching it actually play out the way it did a lot of people had opinions on and always offer them on notre dame in the big game scenario usually it's at the end of the season though you guys played one of the biggest games of the season week one right out of there so what is your message to the team gonna be coming off that what do you think you got out of this game that you can build off of as a team

28:31 well we met as a team as a team yesterday and um you know i explained to them that it wasn't their effort um i loved the way they prepared i thought they were prepared it was just the execution when it mattered the most and there's plays all over the game that we wish we could have back but when it mattered the most late in the game we didn't execute the way we we should and when you play a great team like ohio state what happens is they score 14 points in the game and we score zero and in all sudden you go from being up three points to losing 21 to 10 and so the message is this has to be the floor and that's what i told them yesterday this is the foundation of what this 22 team's going to be about that to me is what we have to build upon and if we continue to do that and continue to get better from that game and that performance we're going to have a pretty good team what'd you walk away from feeling good

29:19 about as it relates to your team like were there like the defense played great your guys didn't cave in in a big spot against a really good team what are some of the things you felt good about even in defeat walking away from that game you know i think as you said there was moments both sides of the ball showed that listen we can play with the best team in the country and if we come out and we execute some of those when you go back and watch them on sunday and say uh some of those ah moments where only if we did this right only if we would have done this if we learned to execute during those times we have a team that can play with anybody in the country no matter what the rank is no matter who they are and so i love the grit i love the the physicality we played with we we played a physical tough game um i love the the play of our quarterback we i came out that game saying you know what we have a

30:06 quarterback that can can make good decisions that's going to be the future of our program and uh you know for him to have his first start in in ohio stadium and not a hostile environment i'm always really pleased with some of his decision making there's a lot of room to grow and i can go on and on about the growth but i was pleased with the effort the physicality and where we're where we can move forward from here do you think there's any component of what you envision notre dame's identity on the field to be this season that you weren't really able to put on display because you were playing such a high caliber opponent in week one yeah i mean you i think you will see um an offense that's more versatile i and i and i've talked to coach reese about this um in length in that he's showed the ultimate display of a teammate and that's what he did on saturday when i walked into his office weeks ago and i

30:53 said this has to be the plan we have to make sure we control the ball and we limit ohio state's offense to 12 possessions or less and we did and we we limit them to 11 possessions because i believed that was going to be a key for us to win and if you looked at every game ohio state has lost um really i think since 2019 or 18 i can't remember what year it was they had 12 possible below their normal average of possessions and so i knew that had to be a key for us and so there was times i'm sure tommy wanted to throw it or tommy wanted to do some different things i said we have to run the ball and we have to continue to get this clock going and he did it and listen he took more blame to anybody and that's who tommy reese is but i told him you displayed more to me about who you are as a teammate to this staff and then and what you view is what's important for this program and anything and so i believe in the future

31:40 you'll see an offense that kind of continues to do this because we have plenty of talent tommy reese is an unbelievable mind but for that game we needed them to kind of just hone in on the package on what we were trying to do and be able to run the ball at times and even if we didn't get many yards you know what we needed that clock to run you know what i'll i'll say it tommy reese has been taking undeserved [ __ ] from this fan base for a long time both as a player and a coach so if anyone's used to it it's i mean it was listen tommy as a player had to deal with this all the time for people in this fan base i love notre dame fans but at some point i'm going to take up from my guy marcus freeman was doing a great job every night no marcus freeman was doing a great job of making me actually like notre dame for a minute and you just undid everything that he did okay yeah he's got you and your defensive tommy reese

32:30 what's the matter with you listen coach coach just said it tommy reese went out there and executed the game plan that they needed all he has done is the coaches showed us that he could morph offenses to whatever personnel has been out there and you still get people that are barking up the wrong tree and i was just i was just sick of it again i love notre dame fans but calm down that is a teammate right there the passion he has for defending his former quarterback right there i love it no you were doing a tremendous job like i've never liked notre dame a day in my life and i was starting to like it until gojo went into tommy reese rant there you go let me handle this from now on all right let me hear you coach can see himself losing recruits now because of what i said with stu gods there he's like hey tyler dial it back a little bit love the pack coach i am wondering it's impossible not to notice i have to ask you i don't know

33:23 if you checked it out if you're looking across the opposing sideline but i have to ask you this question okay like if you had to be right okay your life depended on your answer being right okay do you think ryan day dyes his hair well he shook his hand after that i mean you shook his hand you got an up-close look i have to we're friends now i'm part of the notre dame family i'm coming to a game with gojo hopefully you have sidelined passes for me yeah no listen man i was not gonna do it you know what i've gotten to know ryan day pretty well um you know i would i'm not pleading the fifth i want to say no yeah okay oh come on what about justice beers what about jeff's the beard though now that he's got a strong beard again that's enhanced in certain ways but it is strong i'll tell you that he's got a strong beer game yeah billy is outrageous i saw him in a restaurant in vegas eating breakfast i resisted the urge to

34:21 go over there and say anything about what i thought the outcome of the game was gonna be i took the high road on that one notre dame man it's what we do but i went over and i did see just close enough that beard is real there's no dying really thank you that's impossible come on a little sharpie maybe i feel like there's a couple people in this zoom that need to go to confession after this marcus freeman is with us head coach at notre dame uh that feeling we talked about right before the ohio state game that you had i'm assuming you'll have similar feelings if not more uh before you coach your first home game right coming up this week oh yeah it will be uh it'll be surreal for sure i've run out of that tunnel a couple of times right i've run out of as a defensive coordinator i've run out of um in the spring game but to run out of the the tunnel as the head coach at notre dame and with this football team is

35:12 it's gonna be obviously one that you remember for the rest of your life so i'm excited for it the first real one um chance to lead this team out to notre dame stadium is going to be one to remember i saw on the fighting irish twitter account that they're handing out marcus freeman commemorative cups for your first game how many of those are you going to collect for your home wait coach why are you shaking your head what's the matter i mean i i saw somebody show me a picture of i mean who wants a cup with me i try to tell you people make this thing about notre dame football and the first thing i see is a cup with my face on it for the first game i know i wasn't too happy about that but listen uh there's some things i just i'm not gonna there's some battles i'm not gonna fight and i let them do it for that one but no those cups will not be in the freeman household what if it was like a candy dish um

35:59 yeah or bobblehead decoration for the office coach i had an idea you were saying you wanted to get rid of some things to make notre dame not seem so lame and cooler yeah what you got okay what if that's a fine bill and hear me out here what if we get rid of the fight like a champion today's sign oh please whatever it is yeah wow yeah what do you think you ever touched that have you ever been there i'm going to when yeah when i come to a game with gojo and smutty and yeah yeah well you'll you'll see it in your list and you'll appreciate it you know what i mean i i listen i watch rudy like the rest of us and before i before i got here i probably thought it was old and boring too but that thing listen when you get the chance to see that in person you'll realize that's one of the things that makes this place cool you just got to get it you got to get here and you got to see it you got to be a part of it

36:44 you know but i doubt something i promise you'll leave here and say okay i get it that's pretty cool coach important follow-up to the sign portion because and stu god since you guys aren't familiar with this i'll paint the picture when you walk down the tunnel there obviously there's the you know sign at the bottom to play like a champion today sign above it is a sign with the records and years of all the national champions at notre dame and right to the right before you walk down the stairs there's the notre dame leprechaun sign there that says fighting irish on it also and usually going down the stairs before the game it's like having a handshake with someone else in line everyone's kind of got their own little routine with that their own little routine i was a two-fist guy when i got to the bottom for the play like a champion sign i was a bum-bum slide guy on the fighting irish sign up on the top

37:28 so coach have you figured out what your home game routine is going to be yet for the signs because i feel like that's pretty important yeah so when i got here right i was one of those guys are like man what is all this you know stupidity nonsense it's really corniness yeah you know then i started seeing everybody do all these these handshakes and touching it and doing it in specific ways and um i didn't want to cave into that i said you know what i'm going to be the guy that just touches sign but i always touch the same place i touch the o where it says today you should touch the oh and champion coach i think yeah but you can't be a champion unless you start today that's right i touch the oh well that's what i do every time but i don't have the same thing that go golic has and some of those other guys man i'm like you guys spend too much time on that wait gollick would you ever go out and not touch the sign like what if a

38:20 player doesn't touch the side does anything happen what happens uh you know you don't even honestly stu got no one's ever had to even think about that because i just touched outside you do that what if you forget you go what if you don't feel like playing like a champion today yeah don't belong at notre dame yeah you're in the wrong place when i was little my dad hung a plea like a champion today sign like in the over the staircase to our basement and every single time i walked down the stairs i tapped it and i was i didn't even play football you just you gotta tap the signs to gods no relame wow oh rudy was offsides no but he's trying to make it cool like he's trying to make it cooler and hipper and you don't do that with rudy and then play like a game today stu godz i'm telling you that sign when you get when you get a chance to come down here and we take you down through the tunnel i promise you're gonna

39:10 understand it it's just one of those things you gotta experience no but like honestly like the scientists say play like a college football playoff semi-final list today because like we're far from the champion right now wow and so now he's trying to bat you know you trying to bash a little bit now you're doing a little bit too much for me coach i gotta be honest you have done a tremendous job i want to play for you i want to root for you i don't know what i'm really conflicted now like the golic the golics didn't do anything compared to what you're doing right now okay i want to become a notre dame fed so if i come to a game can i be like an honorary fan like how does this work we're going to take a sign we're going to take a picture with you about to play like a champion sign all right yes that's for sure we're going to have to do that yes spend 24 hours here you'll leave here saying okay this is a place i would have

39:55 loved to go that's all we needed 24 hours so my daughter committed to northwestern they're playing notre dame in october i will be there for 24 hours are you telling me that in those 24 hours you will convince me that's all i need just spent 24 hours i will walk out of there being a notre dame fit absolutely oh my god i can't wait try to have you committed by the time you leave we'll skip we'll skip touchdown jesus too guys we'll just go straight to first down moses okay i mean she's a lot of things to uh just play football how's that say it's gonna be part of your stu it's gonna be part of your tour we're gonna have the graphic made by the digital media department when you commit to notre dame it's gonna be perfect i can't wait this is amazing and sideline passes of course coach can i call play well i actually see how far i can take this let's let's stop right there with sideline uh coach good luck uh against cal and

40:51 good luck the rest of the season uh you shouldn't have any trouble recruiting man i think you kind of you kind of recruit yourself in the school the school sort of helps but uh you do a pretty good pretty damn good job man no doubt man well thanks for having me on the show this was fun it's good to see we'll see you guys when you're on campus very exciting jalen hurts starting quarterback for the philadelphia eagles with us here on god bless football he is with us on behalf of champ sports they are gearing up to launch a new collection for the retailers in-house line called field day on september 21st in fact let's start right there jalen why don't you tell us how you got connected with champ sports what you're doing with champ sports tell everyone about it yeah champs has obviously been a very influential brand for me for a long time um as a kid every time you know it's time to go shoot shopping

41:40 we go to champs go find a new pair of shoes we'll find some gear it's just kind of been a part of my childhood you know going to the mall overall always a place to go just trying to bring that to life for all the other kids now coming up in these days you know what i mean so it's been it's been a great partnership i'm gonna try to do this a little bit differently and try to have some fun with you okay and let people you know get to know the starting quarterback for the philadelphia eagles so i'm gonna do some fill in the blanks true and false and we got a little game for you at the end okay let's see what you got jalen hurts his irrational fear is blank i'm afraid of frogs mike trout said he's afraid of snakes that's not terribly irrational do you have an irrational fear not a swimmer not a swimmer you don't like swimming okay i don't like i don't like getting in um big bodies of water the ocean scares you not

42:27 knowing what's in that ocean scares the [ __ ] out of you doesn't it rather not put myself in that position you know the song jalen hurts will sing out loud every time he hears it is blank probably a frankie beverly song i need a baker song golden time of day by frankie beverly you mentioned anita baker nina baker was on the mass singer a couple seasons ago did you see the rumors that tom brady just disappeared for 11 days to be on the mass singer yeah i heard about it people had a lot of time on their hand so i guess that's what it was brady shouldn't have to practice anymore right jalen like he doesn't need to do that right none of my business what's a skill or a hobby that would surprise us about jalen hurts more really good crawfish seafood try some good chicken what's your go-to meal like what's the best thing you can make when the dog i know i can um i can throw some chicken on the grill that's

43:25 that's pretty simple fix boys and crawfish when this crawfish season i don't make anything that tastes bad jalen hurts with us on behalf of champs sports the best college football coach in the country is blank coach saban i think coach saban what he's done continuously throughout the years i think that's a no-brainer you know and i feel like there are a lot of coaches out there that model what they do after what he's done and obviously everything comes from somewhere i think he's he's well respected and he's been so inconsistent just producing producing and winning championships conference championship national championships so everybody has a lot of respect for him in a weird game where jalen hurts wins a hundred million dollars because he tells the best nick saban story the best story you would tell that you can tell uh would be blank um it's very funny you know he's a funny guy he's kind of laid back with it people

44:21 may not think he's being funny in the moment or they may think he's actually being you know locked intense serious in the moment but if you did the things you're supposed to do you know you follow this process and you bought it into what he was saying like he really acted like one of the guys you know what i mean so we had we had a number of uh fun times out there on the lake you know not not so much a joke but it's just funny thinking about how we go he had this big old think it's called water rafting or something i don't know i don't mess with the water well yeah how does how does that work like nick saban invites you to his house to go out on the lake but you don't like the water so what do you do do you say no thanks coach or you just kind of have to suck it up and go i stay on the boat he had this boat here drive this boat and then uh basically like players rotate coming you know what i'm saying

45:13 doing the water rafting basically so he like dragons you know and it's just funny saying like he thought that was so funny you know what i mean he is he there so funny but he was loose he was loose you know is he trying to flip you guys like he's trying to throw you guys off the raft no question of course he's trying to try to make us fall he's trying to test us so billy i love the vision of saving trying to flip derrick henry and no injure his own players just so that he can kind of laugh at it that's all right he's got backup so we're better than those guys i feel like you guys see a very different saving because like the rumor is that like nick saban you're saying he likes to joke around like one of his favorite things to do is have these nuts jokes and like if you see him from the outside you're like no this is just like the serious old man yeah like yeah he's he's he's definitely i know everybody knows about those jokes

46:04 he's definitely um done them it kind of got played out for real you know i mean but you know it's funny that he keeps on telling them he keeps on trying he's like you can't help but laugh at him you know what i mean does he jump on the raft with you guys like will he allow someone else to drive the boat while he's on the raft and if so do you guys try to flip him over nah we wouldn't do that he's we're based down in miami we're a miami-based show we're national but a miami-based show and so i am wondering as someone who knows tua very well who played alongside to uh try to make dolphin fans feel good to his ceiling as an nfl quarterback is blank i'll just say this you know i said it last week just talking about uh the joint practices we had i think two would do great things you know he has a ton of abilities always have ability i mean he has a great team team around him too so i wish them that but the best the eagles

56:54 little jesus christ exactly the bob marley of the football world the snoop dogg of the football brother i can mess with those guys they can i could sit there with them all day long and hang right with them i know i mean i smoke backwoods right so they're like it's a backwood is like a tobacco leaf too a hundred percent tobacco leaf so you really gotta roll the leaf around it um yeah i'm a pros pro over here no doubt about it damn i don't want to bring this back to football because it seems like you guys are having fun but i feel like a little little conversion here i feel like you've softened on two i saw the two anon's a little confused by you now you have them making the playoffs but losing in the first round like what's going on because i've seen in the two and on universe that they think that they're trying to figure you out sims they're trying to figure out what you have cooking right now

57:53 listen i know it's a quarterback league and all that stuff and we talk about that all the time but listen i this is where i don't get like like i'm oh i said this and i'm gonna stick to it forever like that's not no first off it's the ultimate team sport and that's where i constantly am trying to remind people that it's you got to have a team around you i don't care who you are and billy i think you've known me long enough now to know like i like like when we can get to oh look at jared goff and the rams got to the super bowl it wasn't about the quarterback that year case keenum and the vikings got to the nfc championship game and the same year blake bortles did right i mean mick foles beat tom brady in a super bowl uh is it no he must he must have been the top five quarterback in the game at that time so that's where i like pushing against that narrative a little peyton manning in 2015 i know

58:51 he's peyton manning and he's like definitely one of the three greatest quarterbacks of all time in my eyes but in 2015 he was the worst quarterback in football like the worst there's no debate and they won the super bowl because why the team was awesome so that's where you know tua i liked what i've seen in the preseason but is there a team that i look at that's not gonna have to put it on his shoulders this is not gonna be like the josh allen patrick mahomes show we're gonna be like drop back 40 times a game and just make magic happen they're going to run the ball you're going to have a top tier defense you know they're going to throw passes that make sense for tua so that's where i look at it and go just because i'm not in love with tua doesn't mean they can't still win a lot of games and be a big player in the afc eagles in the nfc same thing yep me and greg cody have the dolphins winning the

59:38 super bowl i mean yeah well i mean that's a little crazy but like right you know you know my questions about tua and that that to me is okay i mean it would have to fall the right way i am not sold that he's gonna be able to play in elements late in the year you've heard me say that a lot yeah and i'm still not sold in now they're playing a really good defense they've taken away some of the mcdaniel mike mcdaniel tricks and the the speed sweeps from kyrie kill and all these plays and now it's like oh crap the quarterback's gonna have to make some throws in the pocket to push the ball down the field that's what i still question but you know again i think it's a talented team to where that might only happen a few games the whole year where it's going to be asked upon two to kind of make those type of plays check him out pft with mike florio on peacock every single day unbuttoned podcast is doing fantastic

1:00:32 football night in america as well he'll be all over your nfl coverage uh the enti not just this weekend the entire year billy you know what's going to happen here the dolphins are going to win the super bowl and sims is going to tell us they won despite to it like yeah that's where that thing is added billy yeah a man who doesn't stay entrenched well well it's you know we've fallen into this trap of always making it about the quarterback right now and i understand that it's set up for the quarterbacks to take over but you know again it's still the ultimate team sport in my opinion and there's a lot of instances in history where i'd go hey phil simms beat john elway that that shouldn't happen if we're just all about quarterback why did he do that that's that's that shouldn't happen well phil was good but the giants were definitely better than the broncos so you know trent dilfer you know winning the super

1:01:22 bowl again no disrespect to trent over but none of us were sitting here going oh this is an all-time great and this offense is amazing no there's a lot of examples like that don't do that to big four man 245 for that super bowl legend sometimes that's the one that hits home with people when they realize wait he's not being biased he's giving real answers here and when you take in your own father into the equation you know it's like i always say with like oh all right so if it's all about the super bowls then we got to start saying phil sims is better than dan marino it's it's just we got to do it right and that's not true that's just not true well is that your dad that's awesome your dad won two he's pissed he's pissed that hostetler won that super bowl right like they were 10 and 1 i believe when your dad went out like that right that team would have won with jeff or your dad at quarterback

1:02:10 correct like he's he's bitter about that a little bit well yeah he's not bitter but it's not bitter he's very grateful for it he really is in a lot of ways to your point i'll say this though i do think there's a part of my dad and i you know i don't want to speak for him here but i think he knows that he'd probably be in the hall of fame if he got to play in that super bowl and played in that super bowl and they won that probably is the thing that'll keep them out and that's that stinks you know as his son and just as a football fan but that's just the reality of the situation you probably should be in the hall of fame uh we have dilfer on god bless next week by the way so we'll tell them that you compared your dad to uh

1:03:00 chris yeah was good who was going to be a pro bowler this year no i mean maybe you know in this day in the engine nfl in the top nine quarter when the top nine quarterbacks cancel out of the pro bowl and he's option 10. well he's not gonna be able to play he's gonna be in the super bowl uh okay yeah yeah you you just keep chasing miguel cabrera around the country okay thank you billy he started by saying he likes you you're on a quick road to him hating your guts uh again do you feel about the jets it's funny with zach wilson because there were reports maybe he'd be ready for week one he got the surgery uh now they're saying week four so how do you and you like zach wilson i still like zach wilson mikey can't stand them as a jet fan how do you feel about the jets and how they're handling zach wilson i think you got to be cautious here right you've got to be cautious you know i already see too many people out there

1:03:52 like oh this is a negative this is a benching no it's not zach wilson was blowing them out of the water before he got hurt they were he was so much dominating the other quarterbacks and cam that that i think i told you guys they were afraid to talk about it he was doing so well so this is a tough situation and one where you know you can easily if you make the wrong decision it can spiral out of control oh wait hey hey you get to play the ravens and you're not you're less than 100 and we're not the greatest team in football and okay now you don't play well and we lose and you got you know jerks like mikey a go oh they should have started whacking oh they should have done that why the first off why mikey why don't you like zach wilson why because he goes to sporting events what is it no mostly because he's terrible mostly how are you gonna judge why are you gonna judge like why how are you gonna

1:04:48 judge these terrible like that just off of that crap team you had last year all the injuries and then as well as he played at the end of the year you think that was terrible like that's that's where i just i don't understand that i mean he outplayed tom brady he got played a lot of guys at the end of the year he played great who won that game chris let me just talk about this basically it's not his fault right but here you go you're going to make it to one guy again mikey come on learn something adjust the light beer yeah but sims the premise is he's the jets quarterback like if aaron rodgers were on the jets mike mike mikey and i would be with you you could get the worst he's absolutely right you could be 100 right he could be as good as you say he will never be that because of where he got drafted i know i i i get that we'll see i don't know i don't understand that about the jets fans you guys like love

1:05:36 these underdogs who are no good history on that let me let me latch on to mike white and four yard throws let me put my name to that so that's it you put out your top 40 quarterbacks right from 22 to 40 were three jet quarterbacks that they took that's why okay 22 to 40. that goes deeper than the player right that's just there's more there's more to that so that's where you know i don't agree with that all the way you've got to evaluate it as a whole and zach wilson i think the arrow is still big time up and to get back to the question itself stu gods listen they get a tough early schedule and when you're a young player not a hundred percent and it's not like he's been practicing just hasn't been able to play he hasn't been able to do anything so that's where i think you protect your franchise you protect your franchise guy here and make sure that when he does go on the field he's all systems go and

1:06:33 there's no oh we can't do this in the game plan or oh he might have to think twice about getting out of the pocket because his knees bothering him you know that's no way to succeed and then that you're proving my point of why you can't throw them out there because it's the jet fans like you that'll just just absolutely eviscerate him even if he played good and they lost but it wasn't good enough then you're gonna you're oh flacco should have started so that's why it's a very smart decision i think it's a tough situation yeah yeah what do you imagine it's a great question billy just texted it to me what do you imagine aaron rodgers well we could make a mourinho billy because the jets passed on mourinho and they took ken o'brien uh but let's do it with aaron rodgers what do you imagine roger's career would look like if you were drafted by the jets that's a good question yeah you mean would he still be in the league maybe

1:07:24 carolina see this is to me where like the rogers the mahomes the josh allen's the justin herberts of the world those guys right there it wouldn't matter what team they were on now they might not be what they are because they didn't have the system in place but their talent is so great it doesn't matter it's just okay maybe the coaches would have got fired and they've been cycling through but we've all been going man a little bit maybe like matthew stafford in detroit that's what it would have been like where you go oh he's not a super bowl winning quarterback and he stinks and he never goes to the playoffs then this the first time he gets on a real team he wins the super bowl that that's what it would have been like if aaron rodgers with the jets a couple of quick ones we'll get you out of here jimmy g you're surprised he's back with the niners and are you surprised that trey lance is upset

1:08:12 reportedly upset that he's back with the 49ers well it's not it's not an easy situation it's not and it's more pressure on trey lance now chris sims like six weeks ago would have been very surprised that jimmy garoppolo was back on the 49ers i mean they didn't want this to happen they didn't they could say they could say whatever they want and they've already they told us that i mean they know we know that but you know the circumstances themselves nobody trading for jimmy garoppolo and trey lance being very iffy through the preseason and in training camp they they got to protect their their team they haven't they have the best roster in football and for me it's the best team in football it's up in that discussion you know it's it's o-lines yeah uh eagles right dolphins bucks it's you know those those teams right there to me got special spec you know i'll even throw kansas city in that that ma

1:09:04 that uh the mix there but you know they had to protect themselves how could they have liked what they saw from trey lance in that third pre-season game that was scary and and sugats i i after that game was on tv like banging the table trying to talk to my friend kyle shanahan through the tv screen going sign jimmy garoppolo back you can take the chance of going with trey lance and nate sub belt into the year with this football team and then i was also yelling at the tv going jimmy garoppolo you need to sign back what a what's a better option than san francisco because for him it's all about setting himself up for 2023 going to seattle or houston or someplace that we don't know about that wasn't going to be a good situation to set him up for success so trey lance who gets hurt what played twice last year got her both games and then is iffy playing all together if jimmy garoppolo does get in hey

1:10:02 you're in a system you know with a lot of talent around you and that'll set you up for a big payday for 2023 so i think it was a win-win for both sides you mentioned the chiefs do they look any different without tyree kill first off i'm really impressed with the chiefs i got the chiefs going to the super bowl i do i just i do the chiefs first off you know their offense has got creativity mahomes to me looks like the mahomes before the foot injury right i i was a guy last year if you guys remember early in the year i kept going he doesn't move the same you know i don't i think his mechanics were a little off without getting too in the weeds about some of that he was phenomenal this preseason and i think there's going to be more of a spreading of wealth and oh wait tyrek's hill he is lined up here we kind of know what they're going to do right oh when he's here they know you're not going to know it could be oh nicole

1:10:54 hartman marcus valdez scaling skye moore judiciary schuster travis kelsey so i think there's going to be a little bit more of like dissection through committee here and what they've done on the defensive side billy to me that's the thing that's jumped out too they got more depth on their d-line they killed it in the draft justin reed uh at safety in place of tyron matthews an upgrade so i really look at the chiefs like quietly in the super bowl conversation rebuilt their team and made themselves better this offseason i think i think the bills and the chiefs are on a collision course i really do that's just the way i feel i think we're going to see them in the afc championship game mikey go ahead you have one on russell wilson right yeah i'm just wondering if we're going to see the russell wilson of last year the russell wilson for the decade before that well i think we're gonna see like good

1:11:43 russell wilson i i i'm not one that sits here and goes oh just because they got russell wilson the broncos are going to the playoffs i'm not picking the broncos to go to the playoffs you know i think one this is different than the stafford to the rams and brady to the bucks where you go wait everything was in place they just needed the quarterback this is there's a lot of things that weren't in place plus it's a new quarterback a second-year gm a new defensive coordinator you know and a new defensive coordinator who's never called defensive plays and then i also look at it and go hey i know there's potential jerry judy cortland sutton but i don't know you know i got to see them reach that potential a little bit kj hamler has been hurt a lot over his first two years the o-line's just okay and then i go the defense we know they got you know pretty good secondary but if bradley chubb isn't good who else is

1:12:36 there on the front seven that really scares you in denver and so in that division that conference you know i think they're a pain in the butt but i don't look at them to be a playoff team but i still think russell wilson is gonna be pretty damn good mikey uh sam's last one here uh the guy i expect to make the biggest leap at the quarterback position this year is trevor lawrence do you agree with that oh that that's that i mean i was all with him and i was on that with zach wilson i i was you know again because they got you know verse to our main point of our conversation that they have support around them you know i think you know with trevor lawrence i think they got the offensive line in a pretty good spot james robinson and travis etienne at running back christian kirk yeah right a real head coach exactly christian kirk at receiver and zay jones and evan ingram who's super talented at a tight

1:13:26 end to where i go yeah and then his talent on top of that i think we talked like what i saw from him in the hall of fame game you know he's fixed some of his mechanical issues throwing the football he admitted that to me he thanked me for noticing it and uh he looked really good in the preseason he did so i jacksonville is one of those teams that's super talented they're young and they're not battle tested but if we had to pick one team in the afc where we were going who's that bengals team from the years before right i'm not saying super bowl but that team that comes out of nowhere where all of a sudden in late december we're going they might get in the playoffs jacksonville would be that team that i would pick because i i think they got major talent across the board they're just young and unproven you're probably going to be wrong about zach wilson but one out of two isn't bad you know what i

1:14:11 mean yeah good we'll see we'll see when he comes back sims i'm going to have a wager for you and i on zack wilson the rest wow you're this is fine i love this this is these are things i'm used to i love this this is what i used to hear with josh allen and mahomes and herbert and and all of them so it's all right when that day does come i'm gonna shove it up your ass big time the unbuttoned podcast uh it's fantastic football night in america will be all over uh your nfl coverage uh and also he hates billy gill and he's also with us every week i'm getting there god bless football uh sims can't wait to talk to you next week we'll be on one uh it will be fun it will be fantastic we'll uh we'll make fun of the jets awesome always fun and you're right i mean i started off this going billy's my friend and by the end of this we're just okay now we're just it's what we're not great friends i know i understand by the end

1:15:02 of the season you'll bury me yeah yeah you're right definitely well mikey screw you i'll see you guys later all right hey coach how are you good how are you thank you for doing this no problem no problem anytime how's the field being 1-0 especially with that one coming over notre dame that feels a lot better than being on one i could say that listen i have a golic with me mike golick senior was so upset that you beat him that he declined to uh partake in the interview but his son is not nearly the coward that his dad is his son is here his son is here coach okay now he's mad at you too uh because he's not happy that notre dame laws but mike gola jr is here and i can't promise you he'll be in a good mood in fact i i guarantee you well might go ahead you in a bad mood because ohio state beat you on saturday you know what like like you said being 100 would be a lot better than being 0-1 for the team that i root for but uh it

1:15:57 was an impressive atmosphere and coach for you when you guys went to you know be a part of scheduling that game we see in week one so many of these big-time match-ups of top-ranked teams usually happening in off-site games or neutral ground games what did it mean for you guys to make sure that this was a home-and-home type situation and that this game would get played in the shoe on week one yeah well for us we play nine conference games and so to add a tenth game is a big challenge but having an opportunity to play notre dame um is unique you know at home and so it was certainly a great atmosphere meant a lot to our fans meant a lot to the alumni uh meant a lot to our players and it was it was a great atmosphere you know and so anytime you can you know get a big win like that on your belt early in the season it can go a long way coach i know you're one that feels good you're out that's the point you know win move

1:16:49 on uh but did you walk away from that game with any sort of concerns about your team one of the biggest you know things that we spent a lot of time on in the offseason was when teams want to control the clock run the ball and limit our offensive possessions we had to be able to stop the run and run the football and run uh especially in the second half and in the fourth quarter and so to see the way that we physically ran the ball and stopped the run was a job well done you know just to start but you know to take the seven minutes off the clock in the fourth quarter and march the ball 95 yards down the field right at him when they kind of knew we were running the football is something we spent a lot of time on this off season and that's not typically how we win football games here in the last couple years but we have to be able to win in different styles and when another team is trying to you know shorten the game we

1:17:39 have to be able to win like that so you know that was that was great but when you look at the film there's always going to be a lot of things to improve on and we have a lot of things to improve about we got to build and grow um but it was a good start coach were you worried prepping for the game that you'd get distracted by how handsome marcus freeman is because we spoke to him yesterday and holy crap the guys got charisma and he won us all over he was trying to recruit us well i got a lot of things to worry about but i gotta be quite honestly that wasn't one of them he's a handsome devil though isn't he i guess so here listen you're a handsome guy as well you really like how do you keep the hair and the beard looking so perfect like can you explain that to us because i am a sloppy mess coach well i am too um but try to do the best i can to clean up to at least look presentable but uh i don't think you'd

1:18:32 be very impressed right now i'm not uh i'm not exactly someone who spends a lot of time worrying about their looks quite honestly i'll have you know coach that coach freeman said quite the opposite he said when he went in for the handshake after the game that he was very impressed and i'm not going to mince words here there have been rumors that maybe there's some pd situation going on with the hair and the beard he put an end to that he said absolutely not ryan day is as true to color as it comes well after last year there's a lot of grays coming through i can promise you that and those were not there a few years ago but uh lose a couple games at ohio state and trust me there's a lot of great going on yeah coach what was that like i mean we know ohio state's one of those places where you're defined at times by that one game with the team up north and and what was was there a different conversation this offseason after that

1:19:21 was there any different reaction from the guys how did you guys handle that and absorb that yeah that was not good that was very very difficult and not too many places do you go 11 and 2 win the rose bowl and uh and and you know being you know a difficult failure of a season but it is at ohio state and we embrace that and we know that um you know our goals year in and year out are to beat the team up north when the big ten championship win the national championship so we talked about it a lot in the offseason and we recognize what the expectations are here and and so went back to work about trying to get that fixed and what we didn't do great last year i thought we addressed some of that in the first game but it's going to be a long season speaking of how you address that the jim knowles hire everyone talked about what's he feed those guys there's got to be gunpowder mixed in that because your guys defensive front

1:20:10 year to year was a wild swing to watch there what what's been the jim knolls difference what does he do in that room with these guys i i think it's a combination of two things i think when when you look at last season we were very very young across the board on defense the coveteer really hurt us we only played five regular season games and in those five games we didn't really have any blowouts where typically a lot of guys get in the game in the second half so it was a good portion of our team that was very inexperienced and certainly the front and our defense was part of that you know not to mention the quarterback and some of the guys on offense but last year they gained a lot of experience you know some good some bat and when you combine that experience some of those scars in a great offseason combined with you know jim and the staff on defense new scheme new energy um i think that's

1:21:02 what you you got a chance to see on saturday and um it's just a start mike did you just ask ryan day if one of his coaches feeds his players gunpowder i mean i figured it might not be the number one item on the training table but i mean the get off i saw on that d line listen as a former offensive lineman i was like there's something that doesn't feel right here because these guys they feel like they're running from something right now coach i i in doing some research here i realized that you played were you a good quarterback coach uh good's probably a relative term um i was out there i played for a good scheme and i was competitive but i don't know how good i was were you accurate yeah yeah i think so um kelly was my offensive coordinator and coach and he recruited me and so he set me up with a lot of nice bubble screens and things to get my completion percentage up probably higher than it

1:21:50 should have been but um i loved playing so we had coach kelly on last year and he raved about you but mike and i because you grew up in new hampshire i went to camp in center harbor new hampshire and me and chip kelly always coach you know what i'm talking about here just nice ice cold beers by lake winnipesaukee is there anything better not really no either that or at the beach in the summer you know that's new hampshire is beautiful you got the mountains you got the lakes and you have the ocean right there so yeah you just put a smile on my face i brought you home coach that's what i did that's right that's exactly right coach what's been the hardest transition for you from where we were in college football just a couple of years ago into this new world with nil what's been the hardest transition i think there's a combination of things i think the first thing is the transfer portal certainly changed

1:22:41 things and how you know you coach how you approach talent acquisition that's been a major change and also with the dynamic of your team but i think too with nil you know you're starting to see in recruiting how that's affecting uh recruiting and when you have a system in place that isn't easily enforced and there's a lot of gray involved it can create a lot of hard feelings so uh trying to navigate that is probably one of the bigger bigger challenges right now um you know we're all trying to adapt the best we can but certainly it's a challenge all right coach we're going to end this quickly with a a quick game here of day or nay okay so i'm just gonna say something day means you like it nay means obviously you don't like it okay very quick 12 team playoff day or nay day you like it huh the expanded playoffs i just like having uh you in alabama every year play like a champion signs day or nay

1:23:42 may mike mike they just set us up on that one right what am i gonna say i say really dead coach you know what he put you in a bad position there he threw a fastball right over the middle right into the safety nothing you could do nothing we could do there uh i saw the piece where you started playing tennis so casual tennis players dressed like borg day or nay nay thank you you're familiar with that creature aren't you i guess but i don't subscribe to that how's your tennis game though uh okay uh it's been a while since i've played now the season started but uh i just try to go over there with our tennis coach ty tucker and he feeds me balls and i just try to hit the ball as hard as i can and curse and yell and then for about 45 minutes sweat and then i move on so it's really just let out some aggression type thing that's all it is that's exactly right good for the family and good for my

1:24:39 relationships in the office amazing that a football coach has to go to tennis to find an outlet for aggression to be released right what are we doing how about pickleball day or night that's day i played a little this summer i like pickleball i like this sam in a moment it's like brussels sprouts glow-up mm-hmm brussels sprouts day or night it depends on how they're prepared there's a couple really good restaurants that make some really good brussels sprouts but it's gotta have like some bacon and syrup and those kind of things on it if it's just raw right still good stu gotz i hate this now because you brought me on here and now i really like ryan day i just beat my team this week and we have a lot of the same sensibilities now sorry about that mike all right last one and i apologize this might be insensitive to you but i've asked every single person we've had on the show peeing in the shower day or night

1:31:15 i jumped off side and when i jumped off side i'm mad at myself i'm upset but it happened so quick i jumped as soon as he got the snap he threw the ball and hit me right in my head with the damn ball but it happened so fast i was like wait i was i was already mad at myself and i'm like he just i wasn't even sure if it really happened it happened so fast but um he got the snap and just snuck it at me like dumb freshman stay on site wait so you're already upset with yourself and he makes matters worse is what you said he makes matters absolutely worse and it's like okay you know under normal circumstances it may be some type of reaction but just like peyton manning you know what i mean he's missed untouchable yes yeah he sounds like an [ __ ] i gotta be honest with you but with that being said uh colsi get him on okay try to get him on the ball on next week wait cause do you have his number just

1:32:11 out of curiosity listen i think i have an old email man all right that works i mean we'll try anything at this point we've got manny's hotmail if next week i somehow connect you with peyton and i can uh you'll be able to ask him to join us next week on this pod okay because you're coming back you know that right that's it absolutely man absolutely yeah okay so check the my connection if i had to reach out this is how football works so peyton is still good friends with his center i was centered from college who was the offensive lineman there you go connection i'm still good friends with that guy his name is straight feet playing with the buffalo bill so i don't know the man but i'm real good with the man next to them how about billy's thinking what i'm thinking next week coulsey you bring on your friend who was the center okay and then we'll get the center to reach out to peyton manning okay it's a three-week pro it's

1:33:05 a three-week process to get paid it's fine crystal robs rob's like training for what like what are we thinking like week eight come back week nine come back like yeah just play out after mojo's wedding no that's true i think that's why i retired bill that's exactly why i was for my wedding that's silence all the doubters out there wait so chris chris what do you think of there like is billy right like we gave week nine i i mean i think he's gonna you know he's gonna kind of get back into football kind of you know want to start talking about it kind of week three week four and then yeah i'm thinking like five or six i think we'll get them on i'll get them all right now we're talking about going back to the nfl yeah we're talking about we're not going to be ready to be playing again yeah well stu goetz he's got his second annual retirement party this weekend so once that's through you know he can get that checked

1:35:39 until you're officially retired like you got to file paperwork correct it is but you you pretty much um is i think you officially retire when you accept your severance you know what i mean because um you know you got to realize guys you know even in ground case guys kind of step down but then still be waiting for a phone call and they may get that phone call but um i think once you start tapping into some of your benefits your severance you're working with comp um that pretty much establishes that you're done but you were asking because we're wondering if gronk has filed the paperwork the proper paperwork a hundred percent he always hasn't we know he has it even if he intends on retiring we know he hasn't done the paperwork yet is chris firing this thing up or what pushing a bunch of buttons is your best friend do you think he's filed that paperwork hell no he you know he had filed [ __ ] that guy's i've said
