 Four times Super World Champ Rob Gronkowski on the show we heard from Lamar We heard from a home succession finale is Sunday It's all happening on our last show of the week from New York City two little up and Adams We have Rob Gronkowski on what do you mean? I'm looking for something. Don't why are you looking at me like I'm crazy Listen, we had another beautiful days day of OTAs. You want to come in here and do some awkward slide This is just by the way. Everyone said don't have Hamilton start the show with you You should start the show and then bring him in but then this happens now I have to get up and I have to turn around and now we got to move this over and do heavy lifting Yeah, Taylor says I look like an 80 year old man when I do this Yeah, she's not wrong and we have to frame up and then we got to make it look like coffee talk Oh, which is the constant shots at your wardrobe. It's a cow. Really? Okay Okay All right, let's do this OTAs. We're here. We're gonna get into that but we got to get into Last night sports business journal awards We were up for a bunch Amy how our badass CEO who's probably done like nine deals already today ran seven miles Like got our kids to school in one piece and is taking over the world She was up for executive of the year with company like Manfred. Okay. It was crazy She is so incredible an entire room of people screaming for her to win She couldn't be there with us last night, but we love you Amy and so congratulations on the nomination so incredible We took home best sports book. That's pretty exciting and a little sick at home I got to hang out with Alyssa from sales Alyssa's Lesnick Our girl Suze who handles so much for us on up in Adams. We're so grateful for her and that is Jesse Smith She works in marketing. I just got to meet her for the first time last night, but it was a great group and We won it was the first time they ever had a best in sports betting But it just shows you how the industry is changing You know SPJ is on top of everything all of the trends where the business is going and it felt so freaking good to get a win Yeah, that's pretty exciting. It's cool. You got to be there announcing a ward. I heard too. So I did for innovation in creative agency, I don't know NHL commish Gary Batman got a lifetime achievement award. That was beautiful John Hamm big St. Louis Blues fan Hugh talky guy gave him his Introductory speech, so it was a beautiful night. Thank you to SPJ for having us We got some up in Adams love in the room, which was really really fun, too So congrats to really fan duel for everyone who works their ass off to make this the best and number one sports book in The country. All right, we also have succession on Sunday. So let's just get to it. I Said it was gonna be Greg. Yeah, okay Because it makes sense because I feel like he's got the mats and thing he'll be the American CEO it'll all make sense, but Womsgams has a case to this don't you think none of the kids are getting yeah Who you who you're in for we'll ask Ron cause think to and tell us who you guys think was gonna walk away with that at the end Yeah, I mean With Tom though, it's kind of you know because he's he's the sitting duck. He's the he's the incumbent at ATN So I feel like they're gonna want to get rid of him, but because he's He has no handle on anything. You know anything about the name Womsgams. No, does it mean anything to you? No, it doesn't okay, so there's this lady on tiktok name name Berry Okay, and she goes through names and what they mean You know everything's you know shib is shaban, but shib is obviously like Right, like it's a great name for her Roman that probably goes from somewhere like Roy She she goes through how Roy actually means King So it all makes sense when you're thinking oh, and then of course There's you know what the writers perspective isn't the creators of the show what they want, but Womsgams She likens to I'm just gonna I'm not gonna play but let me get to it I have to find the player's name. There's a baseball player, right and she goes into like Let's just talk about what the surname Womsgams is it's German It means like pregnant goose or something crazy, right, but I'm not kidding, but listen to this Hold on He is remembered for one thing and that is completing the only Unassisted triple play in world series history He took out three players at once and what is essentially the finale of baseball It's no coincidence that Tom shares a surname with Bill Womsgams So you have to wonder if Tom will be an unassisted triple play That's crazy all three of the Roy siblings to become the leader of Wastar Royco in the succession that That would be wild. Hey name Barry. Thank you. Don't sue us. Can't you sue us? I don't know It might be home that's so that's an amazing theory Greg's much more of a stretch. Yeah, it's true But I mean he was on the paper though with the cross The paper gonna come back doesn't Marsha have two seats on the board Okay, everybody on the board coming back. We'll see what happens, of course on Sunday night for succession I think it's I'm gonna put just I'm gonna stay with Greg. Who you got? um Pick one Okay, I'll go with Tom. Oh, yeah, I like this theory. I like the baseball Connection all right man, Fred. We're with you Another day's of OTA's guys brought us some really beautiful sights. This oh my gosh. This was amazing This isn't this is incredible. I love the slo-mo right at the end to to really get that toe tap It's your boy would be proud. Yeah, little toe drag swag there Jamar Chase Gosh, we also got amazing sound though. We got to hear from a lot of stars around the league as they you know They sort of warm up in front of the mics at OTA as we haven't heard from them in a while We got Rogers on Tuesday and yesterday. We got more quarterbacks. Let's start with Lamar Jackson here after some overreactions to not being at the Ravens camp earlier this Week he was there. He talked about the importance of being there to learn the new offense We heard an exciting Lamar when it came to discussing Todd Monkin's system And he gave us a little insight into what's going to be different this year You know, let's run in and more throne. I say, you know I hear a lot of knows about throwing and stuff like this Yarns to achieve and stuff, but I'm not really worried about yards as much as it's about us just winning So that'd be all the winning category of anything running out going running can only take you so far, you know And I feel like with this new era of Teams and offenses in the league I feel like we need that and Coach Todd Monkin when I'm sitting his offense so far is looking tremendous You know, you can change things when you want to you know, you see the defense is not looking right to you Um, she's some God blicks in you might want to receive her to do something different Coach giving you the free will to do whatever you want to I literally love everything he's saying because it's yeah, I'm you know full of myself and Narcissistic and it's exactly what I said, so he's agreeing with me completely. I have said for years Yeah, yeah, and I have a lot of people want to say I've heard I've worked a lot of people that wanted to say run the ball It's what you do. It's what you do best go and that's okay. It's not okay if you want to win a Super Bowl It's just not Lamar saying less running more throwing more downfield passing more control for Lamar Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to hear before the OC search even started Yeah, and this even goes back a couple of years because I remember there was the argument of you know running Helped Lamar get the MVP it gets the Ravens to the playoffs, but your argument was always it's not about the playoffs It's about winning Super Bowls But what really jumped out to me there was you mentioned the control and Lamar talked about Having the keys to the offense and being able to make checks at the liner scrimmage And that was something that was really curious to me basically he's saying in Greg Roman system He wasn't allowed to audible and make adjustments at the line, which is kind of crazy for me for a quarterback now going into his fifth year I'm interested to ask Gronk about that and see what he has to say because obviously he was with a quarterback Who was the best at making checks at the line of scrimmage and their whole offense was kind of predicated on that How much of a difference it can make in this Ravens offense giving Lamar that type of freedom and giving him those kinds of weapons Odell's a Bateman Andrews I mean we've been waiting for this version of Lamar to be unleashed for literally five years We also guys heard from from this other one MVP to another Patrick Mahomes yesterday guys there have been rumblings about him getting another Extension or redoing it or whatever that might look like he addressed his approach to those negotiations Very thoughtless. He always does. He's a master at the microphone and here's some of the highlights from that I've always said I worry about legacy and winning rings more than making money at this moment But I'm I know we keep communication. We see what's going on around the league But the same time I'll never do anything that's gonna hurt us from keeping the great players around me So it's kind of teetering around that line You just want to do whatever does not hurt other quarterbacks whenever they get their contracts come up But you want to kind of keep the the bar pushing and so it's not about being the highest paid guy It's not about making a ton of money. I've made enough money where I'll be set for the rest of my life But at the same time you got to find that line where you're making a good amount of money But you're still keeping a lot of great players around you so you can win these Super Bowls and you're able to compete in these games It's so Complicated and it's a polarizing conversation and people, you know, what it's what it's how do you value a few million? It's almost that how do you value a few million when you have 20 and when you don't you know When you have 40 and when you have 60 like what is it's a and and he makes it a bigger deal He's going macro what it means for the landscape of Quarterbacks getting paid and broke off in the league for years to come if he takes a little it's wild And so it sounds a little bit like they're keeping tabs on it Joe Borough getting a contract is gonna have an effect on what Patrick Mahomes's team and his side are gonna talk to the Chiefs about and my goodness This is super interesting and there's kind of three elements to this right I mean first off after this second MVP and this second ring I think we can all agree Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the national football league right now But if you look at the way these contracts are going take a look here He slipped all the way to seventh the seventh highest paid quarterback in the league on a per year basis He took he took a he took a discount if you look at it Not scary at all about two months after he signed it which is great And he'll move tonight by the way when Borough and Herbert sign He'll move to almost out of the top ten as far as quarterback circumstances. It's crazy Yeah, that has to be fixed at some point. He knows that they know what I like that They're talking about it. Yeah, God, please none of that talk about it Yeah, he doesn't need to scrap for every cent. He sort of said that and alluded to that Like he says he's pretty much set for life regardless But you do want to make sure you're getting a fair value for you and whoever's behind you and That's insane. It's supposed to be tough. What do you think? Yeah? No, I think um, you know It's just an interesting position that he's in now because he's kind of saying all the right thing But there's no like easy answer right because no matter what he does You know if he takes the full value the other quarterbacks are happy. Yeah But you know it could hurt his team if he takes less it helps his team But then the other quarterbacks are like dude you hurt my bargaining power now because there's no way I'm gonna get paid More than you so you like put a cap on what we can make so and I know Chris Jones Well, let's talk about these players I know Chris Jones wants to essentially take me through this and like what's going because the whole thing is about How do I become flexible these players exactly and when you look at over the next two years? Basically all their key players other than Travis Kelsey are due for new deals and Chris Jones is the one They really want to get done right now, but he mentions even in that press conference Legerius Snead is a big point emphasis and then you look at 2025 I mean Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith have both been such a crucial part of this team being able to revamp its Offense without Tyree kill that offense line have been so strong and then obviously a bunch of pieces to that defense too So there are a lot of deals are gonna have to work out So, you know if he's able to give the team flexibility with this new contract It's gonna help them stay in contention and if he doesn't That roster is gonna start to erode pretty quickly. I didn't think he'd mentioned the third part of it Which is the how does it affect other quarterbacks down the pipeline like should he care? That's the sort of how much should I look into that? How much of that is even true? Yeah, he takes the team friendly deal So looking into that let's say my home's guys takes an extension for 40 million a year, right? That will mess up the market Yeah, so are the quarterbacks and sort of hurt their ability to negotiate new deals It seems like my home sort of embraced this responsibility and it I mean I know it's like kind of a first-world problem But it's kind of tough to you know have to take your family your team the entire quarterback position into account in this is a Lot and it's the fact that he says it It's a weird thing for him to say if it's not something that's on his mind in his heart Yeah, for sure and yeah as he said the way these teams looking to negotiations they're gonna be like oh my home's only making for you You're not getting paid more than my homes. It does happen Yeah, but okay I have to bring something else up in all this because you've called me a sicko for some of my deep off-season dives But there was some real serious sicko stuff going on this Kansas City press conference from both the media and my homes The first question the first one when he gets up to the podium was about playing yeah, and even sicker listen his answer Since he's been in the building He's been a true pro and he's he's came in you can see the talent You see why he was a believe top-10 draft picker a first-round draft pick and the arm strength everything like that And he was just backing up a tom so I'm asking him for any advice he can give me because if you're learning from that guy You're learning from the right guy, so there's another good quarterback good guy that can be in that quarterback room I mean Patrick you're coming off of a second MVP a second Super Bowl ring And you're spending your off-season and trying to pry Tom Brady's secret sauce out of my guy Blaine gathering So type of deranged behavior I can really get behind and all seriousness get it really does give you an insight into the Mentality and the work ethic that's made my home success right he would do that exactly Brady would do that I can you I'm sure he would and we can ask Ronk about it. I mean, I don't know why Patrick Mahomes doesn't just join the fan dual family Like we'd like and then you could just phone Rob gronkowski and say tell me everything that Tom Brady ever did and said and you know We could just be a year streamlined and having to bother Blaine Gabbard about it. I'm just saying that's a great point When I think of Blaine Gabbard, I think of obviously Miss you would ask the why why the shorts come to my mind Oh, the short shorts he likes to show off the legs Training camp Jim shorts. Yeah. Yep. What that's just that's what's in my mind What's in Gronk's mind? We're gonna go Mrs. Frizzle style into the brain of Rob Gronkowski After this graped up from Hamilton, you heard from Lamar Jackson. We heard from Patrick Mahomes Aaron Rogers got hurt being like a mule. Okay. All right cast on from Beauty and the Beast is on next It's the only player ever on my show that gets a music video and his mom also gets a music video He's a four-time Super Bowl champion the greatest and to ever walked this land our fan dual family member Rob Gronkowski You just get a workout in buddy Yeah, I just got a workout in I'm here in Tampa Bay Actually, I'm at a new facility called Suka and it's a Buddha term Suka's a Buddha term for the pursuit of happiness through the mind and body So it's a great place to work out and I actually just finished a workout with Blaine Gabbard And while I was listening in the green room to your show about a couple of days ago You were talking all this garbage about Blaine and how we can't throw the ball how his hips are tight all this crazy stuff Good thing. I don't walk over there and tell him he'll have a have a bone to pick with UK All I said Rob is that when I think of his name I think of the short shorts he wears when he trains because those are unbelievable Yes, actually he did have a shirt tucked in today and he did have short shorts It's half of his quad was showing so you are 100% correct and it's a great look We're Blaine. He's a great looking guy with the hair that slits back all the way and let me tell you he has a rocket For an arm. He has a cannon. He can whip that football like no other Hold on Hamilton. What do you want to say? He mess he messed up a bunch of my fingers having to Oh, he messed up. They were at Mizzou. I went to Mizzou My producer went to Mizzou and he said he broke a couple of his fingers throwing in those balls of practice He's in Kansas City. Is he excited to be there? Yes, he's excited to be there. He told me that I wondered how he was here at the workout I'm like it's Thursday. Don't you got some OTAs? But coach Andy Reed let him off for the day because it's Memorial Day weekend coming up So they have an extra long weekend, which is pretty cool for coach Andy Reed to do That's why they're winning right there because he's giving his players off in the off season when necessary I like coach Andy Reed I don't know that Bill Belichick needed to catch a stray like that on a Memorial Day weekend Thursday But okay, listen OTAs when I say the word OTAs, where does your head go? What's the memory that it takes you to? OTAs, I remember though. Okay. The first memory was OTAs when I was a rookie. I mean you're nervous You kind of have a little anxiety to make sure you do everything right And then throughout your career as it builds up you kind of start looking at OTAs like do I really got to be there? You know, I know I know the playbook like I can be working out somewhere and enjoying my time on the beach But uh, OTAs depending in your situation if you're a young buck or if you're experienced Veteran it all depends on where you're at in the totem pole Uh, it's how you view the OTAs then so as a rookie, I think all rookie should be there Especially if you're under three years All players under three years need to be at every OTA need to be in the playbook making sure you know the game of football You know, like it's your back of your hand. But uh, if you're a vet Uh, I believe maybe you show up to the mandatory OTA. So you show up there and there Unless if you really want to be there, you know, that then it's fine But uh as as me I like I'd like to be in there once in a while You know having the chemistry and then making sure I'm there for the mandatory OTAs mandatory mini camp, but I think it's great for all the young bucks. No doubt about that It sounds like you have to do what's right for you After you're a rookie and figure it out and like who even knows when you're considered a veteran so you have to Do what's right for you your body your regimen because you've got all this not drama, but like Staphon digs say kwan barkley justin jefferson These are stars and they're missing from the OTAs and everyone wants to talk about what that means Or is staphon digs disgruntled or whatever that is But there must be a point that you know is a player. I'm good. I can skip this. I'm responsible enough to take care of it Yeah, so players like that totally are responsible enough to be able to skip OTAs No doubt about it as long as they're at home or wherever they are Uh and getting their work in which they are That's why they're veterans and that's why they're at top of their game because they are getting their work in No matter what even if they're not at the facility and also here's another question that goes into play too Is if you have a family I mean you have kids you have a wife and you're a veteran you're six years in a league You're you're a star player as well. You don't need to be at the OTAs You're going to be in that city or wherever you're playing For the six months straight So this is time that you can spend with your family You can spend the time with your kids right now instead of being at OTA practice as long as you are getting that work in It's totally acceptable and I believe that sometimes the media looks too far into it when a when a player misses OTAs because hey if they're getting the work in it doesn't matter They could be with their family and join their time as long as they show up when it's time for training camp and show out How would bill feel about this answer Uh, I don't know. I mean it would feel great, you know, I think it's a Very responsible answer. I think you should bring me on the coaching staff and I could be Full program for OTAs, but uh, but like I said You're about a year four and under you got to be at OTAs though. All right, you can't be skipping though Can't be skipping your young I get it You have so much energy I can't believe you finished a workout because you were like a shot out of a cannon like right now Which is incredible because you're taking care of your stuff You and bling gabber down there at the mind body Buddha You can give it a shout out again there in Tampa Bay when we love to see it And when you're there you control your stuff when you're at jets camp and you're a 39 year old erin rogers You can't control what the training staff wants to do to you. Did you see this? Wait strapped to his leg thing. Did you see this? No, I didn't see this. Uh, I heard he got like a little injury or something. I'm not really 100% sure what happened I'm not even sure what the injury was but if okay, you can put me up to date with it. That would be great So he's at OTA's voluntarily because obviously he wants to build chemistry with his team He's a new quarterback new team. They're young. He wants to gel with them, which I respect a lot It's a something that he'd never done in 18 years 19 years in green bay It was some sort of drill where he was running with the weight attached and strapped to his leg He had a bit of a limp so they made him stop and he was you know Just had a bit of a calf thing nothing big. He says it's fine But uh, I just want to know your thought your thoughts on this him doing a workout that he's ever That he never did in his career and I'd love to know the strangest workout routine you've ever done I mean Okay, uh going back to the OTA's here's another situation as well. And roger is an MVP Of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time But he just got to a new team if he was with the green bay packers I understand if he's not at the all of the OTA's but in this situation Here's another situation we're talking about I believe it's great for him to be at every single OTA to build that chemistry because he's a new player on a new team So that's huge for him to be at all the OTA's. That's a good sign You want him there? You want him to build the chemistry especially as a quarterback and then second of all he's probably doing it You know to fit in build up the chemistry to show that he's putting the work in With his teammates and something he's not used to but I feel like you know You just put me up to date with with what happened, you know pulling a sled with weight on it. I believe Just within 10 seconds of in-state that he kind of faked the injury. So I didn't have to pull the sled anymore Listen, he was smiling afterwards that literally probably is what happened because you had a big he's like i'm good. I'm good. I'm fine Oh my god, you're right He showed one like I can do it the one and then the second one He was like oh my calf. Let me just throw the football I mean you're completely right and I love that. I'm gonna get you up to date on a rule change I know you're you're retired. You're having fun But you know you're working out you're staying in the game here and you do all of your amazing work You're gearing up for fox the NFL approved a new rule regarding kickoffs You can now signal a fair catch anywhere inside their own 25-yard line and the ball be placed at the 25-yard line and you read had this to say yesterday gronk My my thing is where does it stop right? So you start taking pieces and You know We'll see how this goes, but you don't want to take too many pieces away Be playing fly football What do you think? Uh, I agree with coach Andy Reid. I think it's getting a little bit ridiculous on that rule change because I Because there's already that rule if it goes in the end zone You can just take the knee in the end zone then it gets placed on the 25-yard line But you got to be able to play football at some point I mean, that's why you have the kickoff you might as well Just take the kickoff totally out of the game then and just have the other team just start in their own 25-yard line but uh That's that's that's pretty ridiculous. I mean that's going a little bit too far You know into it because there's already so many touch backs. You know how many times there's it's like 75 It's a touch back every single every single kick. So 75 of the time it's starting on the 25 already, but Uh, I wish you got you got to play the football you got to play kickoffs. It's just been part of history in the game Might as well be playing flag football says Andy Reid it We might be it sounds like we're seeing the end of the kickoff return Now give me a gronk rule an nfl rule a new rule or something that you'd like to see implemented in the nfl All right, here we go. Actually tom brady brought this up plenty of times. It's to protect the receivers It's to protect the tight ends because a lot of guys out there. He offers alignment defense alignment quarterbacks They're all protected from their knees down You can't blindside anyone when they're unprotected When they when they're self When they're defenseless a defenseless receiver is the only person that's not protected From the knees down liming our Running backs our quarterbacks our defense All those players are protected in that situation But a defenseless receiver when looking at the corner to make the catch Limebacker or or a cornerback or safety can still take out your knees even when you're not looking So that's a defenseless receiver So therefore that needs to be implemented as a new rule change So where you cannot take out a defenseless receiver's knees From their knee down. Yes, you can hit them from here From the quad to the shoulders But if they're not looking And they're still getting drilled from their knee down That's very dangerous for the game. You see a lot of people Chris Godwin blew out his knee A couple years ago versus saints. I blew out my knee eight years ago Against the browns from it You see a lot of these defensive receivers blow out their knees because of that rule because they're not looking and they get Absolutely demolish from the knee down. Yes, if they're looking at the player after they make a catch and make a step or two Yes, you can hit them below their knee But not when they're not looking not when they're defenseless That rule should change to where you cannot take them out from under from from their knees I mean gronk it happened to you all of the time Everyone went for your knees. Nobody wanted to tackle you high ever And I just got to ask you it's like a personal thing now like would would you have played longer? Do you think you your career? I mean you had a beautiful career. We know all of that Do you think that your career would have been extended had that been a rule? Uh possibly I mean Uh, I mean I did take a lot of shots like it's it is very dangerous You still see this game because there's so many differences receivers out there when you know every single game that's played But uh, I wouldn't say it would have extended my career I would have said it just would have taken an injury or two off of my injury list off of my rap sheet You know, but uh, I don't think it would have extended my career I'm still not not I'm not quite convinced your career is over to be honest. So there's that okay Gronk, we know you're out of work out. We want to get you out of here. We appreciate your time. Of course Let's play a little game. We're going to go inside your brain like misfrizzled a magic school bus style I'm going to show you a photo and you have to tell me the first thing that goes inside Gronk's head. Okay. Let's start with this the Packers. Here's some news Green Bay was awarded the 2025 nfl draft It'll be there a lot of hoopla. It's getting mixed reviews right now. Do you like green bay as a location for the nfl draft? You know, I saw in kansas city this year and that was a success I like how they're expanding it to the uh, you know all over the place. So yes, I think it's a great idea I think it's going to be a success for sure Love it taylor swift. She was just at dilett stadium for three nights. She's killing it I don't know if you've seen the concert. She's got a song coming out with ice spice tonight She's everywhere mac jones attended a taylor swift concert at dilett. What do you make of his outfit the whole vibe all of it? I think he needs to put a little weight on I mean, he's looking a little skinny right now He's got to put about five ten pounds back on so then he can lift, you know, run the ball a little bit Knock out some linebackers while he's running to get a first down, you know so But other than that, I think the outfits a plus, you know, he's looking great with his girlfriend And uh going to the taylor's concert at dilett. You can't you can't beat that combo What's the best concert you saw at dilett? I would say uh jay-z and but the onset Yeah, that's pretty good. I mean, tom braney wasn't exactly, uh, you know, two nine two two fifty out there Yeah, but that doesn't matter. I was 260 so I made up Thank you I thought okay yankees fans listen everyone's I'm I lived in new york 12 years yankee fans are so tough Look at how scared they are of a squirrel during this game. This is insane. What do you make of this? They're terrified Yeah, I would be terrified too last night. I had a spider in my house and let me tell you I had goose bumps Trying to kill the thing. I mean it was scary. It was a pretty big spider and I literally every single bit of my hair was sticking up trying to get the thing out of the house It was one of the scariest moments of my life last night and after I ended up I did end up killing the spider and then I put all of its remaining emotion actually I like that so I could be you know, let's breathe out there to this next life But uh, I was scared so I would probably be just scared initially by the squirrel But then I big eyes just squirrel I feel like squirrel wasn't julien julien edelman have like a squirrel thing attached to him Yes, julien edelman's nickname is the squirrel and uh, he always ends up finding the nut because that's julien edelman Yes, that's true. I forgot about that. Okay. You are a big retirement guy Look, you're you and tom are iconic you around the greatest to ever do it You're the greatest to then to walk away come back walk away doors open. It's not I need to you to tell me what's going on with lebron Because him the lakers are done for this season more people are talking about brawn being done forever though than the actual nba finals Does he pass the retired guy test? Is he giving you that kind of energy? No, no, I don't think so. I think it's just kind of a rumor going on right now Or he started the rumor whatever happened why why the rumor started, but I think he's gonna play Until he can at least get one year with his son. I think that would be extremely legendary That would be magnificent if he does that it'd be the first time we ever seen anything like that and it would be mind-blowing I would love to see that but the way that he's playing he's at such a high level He's in such great shape. He takes care of his body so well Obviously because he wouldn't be doing what he's doing at the age of 38 But I think he's gonna go until he plays one year with his son So I think the retirement rumors right now are just false. I mean he's too healthy He's too much in shape and he's too much of a beast. He's not right now All right, he's not retiring now you and your girlfriend Camille We're watching the Westminster dog show I believe with your dog Ralphie who we have yet to really get to know an interview But you call you said you were rooting for Winston the Frenchie And that that's the dog that won the whole thing So you are calling your shot on these things and they're right. So that that must have been amazing Yes, it wasn't I just love Frenchies. I love all Frenchies. I love all dogs actually but especially Frenchies I just think their personalities are just so great. So when I saw Winston in there, I was just cheering for him man He's a champion. Thank you Winston for representing the Frenchies out there I mean you called your shot and this dog won. I don't know how you did it So I'm going to ask you before you go a couple of quick predictions We are on we are on a win streak here with you Camille Winston heat Celtics tonight Do the Celtics get to win the next in the series? Oh, I think uh Where is it is in in Miami or in Boston right now? I don't even know Boston, I think I think it's in Boston. Yes, because the last game uh I think the Celtics are going to win one more game and then the heat are going to win The next game at home Do you watch succession rob? No, I never have Okay, let's see the poster pick out pick one person on this poster and that'll be your choice for who wins Succession because there was one episode left. Who do you like? I like the guy in the front. He looks like a boss and he looks like he Ravi died Who is it? What's his name? I said his name is Logan Roy, but he died pick somebody else or maybe he could come back I guess sure That's ridiculous. All right the guy to the right of him if I'm if you're looking at him to the right, okay Kendall Roy. Yes his second to oldest son. He will be doing it. All right DK Metcalf challenged Tyreek Hill to a race Again, they do this all the time. Who would win predict between DK and Tyreek? I think Tyreek Hill will win. I mean I saw him race those track guys this year And I don't even think those track guys should have qualified because Tyreek Hill absolutely blew him out of the water But uh, I think Tyreek Hill will win by like an inch He's just a little bit smaller and those small guys are always just the quickest And fastest I love it. Tyreek get someone let us know on twitter and last one for you your former teammate Devin McCordy also has a million super bowls He's your boy and we just got the news that he'll be joining NBC's football night in america beginning this season We love him we congratulate him. What's your prediction on what a kind of a breakout star he'll be on the national stage on tv Yeah, Devin will bring a lot of insight to the to the football world. There's no doubt about that He's got a lot of knowledge He did whatever had an unbelievable career 13 years and he played two positions as well He played defensive back and he played safety and also he was the captain of the defense So he had to make sure uh, where all the defense alignment were where all the linebackers were He had to know the whole defense inside and out. So he's gonna bring so much knowledge to the table He's it's gonna be great for football that he's joining But the only problem is is that he's not joining the fox crew because the fox crew is the best crew k That's what Hey your boy your boy shanks last night won executive of the year Yeah, because he is executive of the year. He brought me in the fox though. He deserves that award every year He did you want to get an amazing speech. So that's incredible. Yeah, we cannot wait for the season to get here It's ota's you're getting your work and go hang out with playing gabbard We appreciate you Gronk and sorry for asking you an impossible succession question with the guy I knew he was gonna pig being dead just the dumb move by us all around. We'll be back right after this Okay, if you want to get smarter it's up and hammer time Let's do it. I will not dance to this You're on strike Until emcee hammer allows us to use He did tweet at me once we can ask him emcee hammer You asked I don't know who asked maybe eric producer eric asked Henry Winkler to record us a little something because Henry Winkler was in an emcee hammer video, right? Yeah, so we said, hey, maybe could you we need somebody to make us a song for hammer time basically, right? I guess yeah, and he said no the nicest man in the world was like no That says a lot about me says a lot about us. All right time for hammer time hammer Oh my gosh, let's talk a little football here. That's you're a sicko. I know well discovered this week As you were breaking down the frame by frames of trey lances elbow height You had you had a protractor out on the screen watching tape. It's disgusting. I want you to know that elbow height What did you hold on twitter? What did you say I was doing? Oh, yeah. No, I said a bad thing I don't know. I've really let it go lately. Yeah, listen trevor lorence. Your mom's watching. Why do you draw don't draw her to my twitter? um trevor lorence let's start this again Hamilton trevor lorence had a breakout season in 2022 He takes the jags to the playoffs waffle house blah blah blah earned a trip to the pro bowl But there's a reason to think he's just getting started right like how good could he be? I think He could take things to another level this year and possibly get into the mvp's conversation because of this guy this guy All right I really do think when you look go back and look at some of the tape from last year They have some good receivers not to disparage a christian kerr or zay jones They had very good years But they don't really have that number one guy who commands attention from this is the number one guy That's gonna command attention for the defense and let me show you let's go back to last year and i'll show you some examples of just How things stalled sometimes with this offense here against the jets they're in the red zone It's third and three the jets are playing man coverage across the board And you're gonna see here nobody's really able to create separation watch trevor's at the top of his drop Nobody's open here and this is especially where it showed up down in the red zone trevor's gonna have to throw this on take a shot it ends up falling in complete He was the 29th rated quarterback out of the 31 qualifiers in the red zone feel bad feel bad for him But that was a bad situation Yeah, exactly and it's not his fault that he used the 29th out of 31 rated uh qualifying quarterbacks in the red zone but it's it's it's it was symptomatic of The lack of that number one guy Yeah, I have a number one to hear it. Yes, okay They did uh, they had a top 10 passing game. So everyone's gonna look at those numbers and say like at whole Yeah, the but to your point they only had 205 yards through the air against kansas city And that man coverage in the divisional round loss. Yeah, and kasey pressed up a lot They brought a lot of pressure spags was aggressive with them And that's what you can do when you don't have that guy to fear and ridley He is that guy. He's a pure outrunner And you're asking for trouble if you want to play man across the board against him I know it's been a while since we've seen him in a game So let me just give you a little taste of what he's going to bring Here he is against tampa Man coverage again single high safety in the middle of the field. He's in the slot They're gonna run a little double post concept here First pay attention to the route running watch how he's able to snap this off and create separation Right there. Look at that He's on one hash the db is on the other hash From that break It's it's beautiful. We'll see it again. We'll wind it back just so you can see it one more time Just the way he's able to snap this off and then he flattens it out He's the awareness to know that safety is over the top. So he flattens out the route makes it easy for matt rine And he gets busy after the catch He's just so complete so all rounded and Brings every element to this offense that they were kind of lacking last year and here he is again in motion He wants to run this route to the corner of the end zone But he knows he knows he has to widen that defender first So watch the stem off the line of scrimmage how he's able to widen out that defender Get jordan louis to open up move towards the sideline so that he can get a path to the middle of field And then break to the corner of the end zone and look louis has to hook him here. You see a db in that position. He's dead and Look at that separation. There's no one near him as he catches that ball in the corner of the end zone Check it out one more time. I mean he's all by himself That's the type of stuff that he can do that's a rare town and again It's not to despair to anybody the jacks have a really good well-rounded group of receivers Which should only help them Yes, but that type of stuff is special and they're only you know They're only a few guys in this league those true number ones that can create separation like that and you saw it in the red Zone he's going to help so much down there I know we don't think about him really as a red zone target because he's not the biggest guy But it's that ability to create separation in tight spaces that's really going to help elevate this offense Tell me about his numbers though because I feel like the last time I saw him He was good, but I but I'm seeing the numbers right here and they're really good and it's not what I remember of him for some reason Maybe just because it's an offense We didn't talk about that much or it's been too long since I've seen him and then there's marred with other stuff That's going on. Yeah, like his number is last time or what? Yeah, he had 1400 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games As i'm saying the nine touchdowns you don't think of him as that red zone guy But he gets open so quickly That it's going to help trevor lorence so much at where they had so many drives stall last year in a fantasy draft And you know he's already going to go over the radar because you haven't seen him in a lot a lot and also because like whatever And there's also the trevor lorence and there's also the fact that he's on the jack So it's like an unstill still perceived as an unsexy team when it comes to other superstar wide receivers Like this is the the value. This is like superstar trajectory kind of guy Oh, definitely and again, especially pairing him with a trevor lorence and the talent that trevor has It's going to be fun to watch this year. How good is trevor going to be now? I'm telling you. I think he could we could see him sneak into that mvp conversation What are you about to call your shot on trevor's the mvp? We'll say we got a lot of all season left man. I love the jacks. I don't know if I could see that happen We'll say what would it even take for that to happen? I mean, they play the chiefs. They play the bills He's going to get his prime time game play the bengals He's going to have his shot to take down all those guys if he can do that How could you not put him in that bengals sunday night game monday night game? I think bangles are sunday night, right? Yeah. Oh the bill borough is going to take care of business there, but that's okay That's okay. That'll be that'll be a good you versus me game. Oh, yeah I'm into that the loser gets a tattoo coming up next karson went what? Huh, we're talking about karson once ever this, huh? We'll be back after this. Thanks gawk.

It's that it's that hard knife I don't know Oh, which is it tries too hard. All right. We didn't ask the peanut gallon here Okay That's one of the things that you say in an interviewer like I just care so much about my job That it's just like too much going on. Okay, we're gonna do what we really do best And it's not I like when nobody argued procrastination for me That's fun. That's a lot of my calling card. Uh, we're gonna matchmake That's what we're gonna do Well, we can't do it alone because we probably actually really suck at it instead We're gonna bring in our amazing producer marissa who I almost got in a fight With her with her former producer at fox because I said, don't you try to take her back? We got her Fanduel baby. What's going on marissa? Hi? How are you? Miss you guys good to see you. What's going on? We're gonna do some matchmaking just like you said There's a lot of uh notable free agents still out there just floating in the ether I wanted to do my part and make an app and try to help these guys out. I'm calling it yearning for earnings Let's take a look at the app earnings And let's go to our first profile. We got karson wence. He's 30 years old 65 He's from rolly went to ndsu not a bad profile. I would click on this if I were You know a team or somebody floating out there. Uh, let's get to the prompts. Let's see. Let's see what he answered All right, the most spontaneous thing he's ever done. I dated my ex's neighbor for a year some nfc east drama Come on karson. Don't be messy. Don't be messy. All right, let's go to the next one Debate me on I can stay healthy for an entire season. I'm not one for living in the past But in 2021 with the cults I played in 17 games I got 3563 yards 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions That's not bad. But that was a couple years ago And one thing he'll never do again this. Let's take a look. Let's click on the video Uh-oh. Oh, no, not this play. Oh, no Not this play. I karumba karson No, my lord My lord Oh man Okay, so let's let's drop into his potential dms. Let's it looks like mr. Wence is probably going to be a popular man We got the packers. We got the rams the chiefs the lions Lonely in Englewood says rams packers. I don't want to be cheesy, but Packers you need a better line than that. Come on But there's some interesting choices. Let's look at what the packers have to say. Let's click on that one Okay, the packers say I already have some love in my life But i'm looking for someone with a little more experience The winters get a little cold in green bay and we need a man that can keep our cubie room warm and safe There's enough love to go around. Are you down to swing for the fences as our backup quarterback? Oh my god, the packers are coming in hot. Okay, would you respond to this dm if you were karson Marissa that was those were the steamy dm from green bay. My gosh. I can't believe I read that Calm down there. Appleton, Wisconsin. I would say this i'm gonna say no because With erin rogers out the door You want to just focus on jordan love and there is a question though with jordan love can jordan love stay on the field To bait me on that. We don't know what that looks like. We know what he's looked like in small pieces Can't he survive a full season? So He he's just not the one he's not the one if I want things to be a little cleaner I want the media to be a little less on my back and to give him a little bit more Love for himself in the locker. Yeah, it could get a little messy bringing a guy like him You want a veteran who's like in the background not bringing you so much attention in which karson ones would I do like messiness, but I mean they're asking if he wants to swing comma for the fence Marissa, what else we got? I can't believe I said that uh, we got one more from from the ramps We've gone from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows How about rebuild each other as long as this relationship can stay healthy? That is our kink right now Fully functioning elbows call me a hopeless romantic Hey, I will say what do you think? These are great I like the fit with the rams. I think putting him behind stafford He's a guy that can come in and do some of the same type of things that matthew stafford can do Again, you mentioned that elbow. It's a concern. I'm also there've been rumblings over the past couple days about the cowboys Also entering the chat Interesting The drama get out marissa that was amazing. Let's do more of those who's talking about karson ones right now In their national shows nobody really baby. We'll see you next week
