A Monty Tumor. Amani used to come on Jim Rooms Burning back in the day. In fact, he would always come on when he played. Former New York Giants wide receiver joins us, Amani Toomer.
Somebody else used to come on back in the day, Baron Davis. Burn it. What's up? Baron Davis was a really fascinating guy. He still is a really fascinating guy and Raider fan.
The reason we're going to have Baron Davis on is because he hosts a show that's all about the Raiders and the culture and the team and the players and the legacy and the community.
So, Raider fan Baron Davis, who grew up a Raider fan, is going to join us.
So I'm looking forward to that. It's Friday. Alvy will have his week that was. We'll have an ATP, lots to get to, and we're going into an enormous weekend of football, both pro and college. But you know where I'm starting.
Yo. Buffalo Yo, Buffalo, are you not entertained? Buffalo. Was that not the best night ever? Opening night in the brand new sparkling crib with the entire country watching.
Yeah, the Bills were never losing that game. Josh Allen, Jim, was never losing that game. Josh Allen. Buffalo, I don't even care who they played. They could have gone up against the eighty five Bears last night, and they were still not losing that game.
Except Buffalo did not play the 85 Bears last night. They played the 26 Lions. And the 26 Lions might actually be the opposite of the 85 Bears, at least when it comes to defense. 26 Lions, you have a problem. In fact, you have a few problems.
Actually. But not being able to stop anybody is at the very top of your list of problems. Not being able to play any defense is actually more than just a problem, it's a full-blown crises. That defense is a threat to the entire notion that the Lions championship window is still open. If you can't get off the damn field, your championship window is not open, and they can't get off the damn field ever.
Unfortunately Detroit I don't believe that window is open. I didn't believe that it was still open coming into this season, and I really don't believe that it's still open after the first two games. And believe me, I'm not here to pile on. That brings me no pleasure to say that. But I do think that window has already been slammed shut.
painted over and nailed down. At least if this is the kind of defense that Dan Campbell and Kelvin Shepard plan to keep on trotting out there every single week. If that's the case, this team is already cooked. You know, I can't stop thinking about two things. Number one, The thing that Dan Campbell said at the podium two years ago after that NFC Championship meltdown.
And you know that's what that was, Detroit. He said it at that time. He said this might be our only shot. There is no guarantee. You have to finish when you get there because there's no guarantee you'll ever get back.
Pretty prescient. Huh? Good word, right? That's a ten-point word right there. But the fact is the dude knew exactly what he was talking about because it appears that was their best and only shot, and they blew it.
The only or the other thing that I can't stop thinking about, and I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to Lions fan, is the fact that Detroit had Ben Johnson in that building. And not only did they let him get away, they let him get to a division rival, a division rival that, frankly, Now looks like they have already passed the Lions by. That's rough. Yeah, I know. I know.
Lions fan, you don't like hearing this. But if your objective And you're real. And we're having a real conversation. It is how it is, right?
Now, I'm not saying that they should have fired Dan Campbell last year and handed that job to Ben Johnson. Although that might have been a really smart thing to do, a really bold thing to do. And I could see why they didn't do it. But it might have been a really smart thing to do. But I get why they didn't.
I'm just saying. Ben Johnson feels a hell of a lot like Detroit's Mike McDonald. And yes, Lions fan, before you run up in here, I understand, scoring points is not a problem. I understand. Ben's left.
And you're still putting points on the board. It just kind of feels like you had this guy. You had the guy. And it kind of feels like you're going to be watching Ben Johnson challenge for a Lombardi long before you yourselves are challenging for a Lombardi once again.
Now, again, that said, the reason Detroit's championship window seems to have already slammed shut is not because of the offense. I understand that. Detroit did not get their asses handed to them last night because they couldn't move the ball on offense. I understand that. They got smacked because they can't stop anybody.
The Lions haven't needed Ben Johnson to score sixty two in their first two weeks. The problem with this team is that they very nearly lost both games despite scoring sixty two in their first two weeks. Even without Ben Johnson, that Lions offense is still good, really good. The defense is the deal breaker, and it got torched, torched in that first half last night. Because last night basically could not have gone any better for Buffalo or any worse for Detroit.
And I don't happen to think that's some sort of anomaly. or aberration or fluke. I think that's who these two teams are right now. The Bills are a freaking wagon. They're a buzzsaw with a brand new energy and a brand new vibe and a brand new head coach and a brand new crib.
And the Lions feel like a team trying to hold on to a moment. that has already passed them by. If anyone owns the current moment in the NFL, it is clearly Josh Allen, Jim. Josh Allen, Jim. What a freak show.
What a maniac. This dude apparently was feverish in the bathtub, the hot tub, before the game. Yet there he's out there on the on the sideline warming up with smelling salts hanging out his mouth. Have you ever seen that before? That dude's got an open Blund.
But not with bud, but with smelling salts, cracked open. He's just sucking on it. It's in his mouth. Are you watching this on stream? a broken, open smelling salt hanging out his mouth like a lung dart.
Never seen that before. Never seen anyone so locked. That they're impervious to smelling salts. Normally, you get a quick blast. You're like, oh, oh, oh, okay, I'm good.
I'm good. This dude's just hanging out like it's a Marlboro or something. Like a Marlboro Red. I can't even believe this guy. He's just chewing on it.
And then he comes out and he sets the field on fire in the first half, right down the field. Just give Josh the MVP right now, honestly. He's off to an incredibly Incredible head start. And I do think he is the best player in the NFL currently. For some reason, that pisses people off.
The best player in the NFL currently. No, Josh does not have a Super Bowl yet. No, Josh has never even played in a Super Bowl. Of course, Kermit Mahomes is the most accomplished active player. I'm not denying that.
However, who is the guy that nobody wants to game plan for right now? Who is the guy, no defense? Wants to see coming out of a tunnel right now. Who is the guy putting more fear into coaching staffs than anybody else in the NFL right now? The answer, obviously.
is Josh Allen, Jim. Josh Allen, Jim. This is what I mean when I say he is the best player in the NFL right now. The guy that nobody wants to see, the guy that nobody wants to deal with. Hey, can you pass the Dutch?
Can you pass that over here right now? I think I need some of that, Josh. You don't want to see this guy. And last night, you saw exactly how. He can beat you in any way imaginable.
This guy can attack the entire field. He can score with his legs. He elevates every single other dude on the entire roster. Hell, last night, he elevated every single person in that stadium. No, he elevated every single person in Western New York last night.
Bills fan was losing their bleep all night long, and who can blame them because the entire night was epic. But as electric, thanks Alvi for that. I like that. Ma'am, pass the ammonia, please. Uh I need some of that ammonia.
As electric as Josh has been for years, it just seems like there's something different this year already. I know it's a small sample size. Hey, by the way, I know it's some monster open, but I'm fired up. Yeah. The difference is The obvious difference is The new head coach The new Clone head coach who has brought an entirely new attacking mentality to the offense.
and my guy, Schno. Deion Dawkins had the perfect description after the game to sum up how it feels with Joe Brady not only dialing up plays but leading from the front. It feels like Madden. It feels like Madden, man, and it feels like, you know. Coach is always just like He knows exactly where to put the play call.
He knows exactly where to do it. And it's just cool. I'm telling you, it's just a different feeling. It just feels different of being a football player. Because we've had a defensive coach for so long.
That like you don't know, like, but like you don't know, and to now have like. you know, offensive spear. Football's fun. Damn, Schno, you look great, dude. Muman leaned out.
Snow looks great. Quote, football is fun again. Football is fun. It's like maddening out here. No offense, Sean McDermott.
It's like being a kid and playing Madden again for these guys. No offense, Sean. It's like we didn't even know how great it could be with an offensive minded head coach when we had that defensive minded head coach harshing our vibes all the time. No offense, my guy, Sean. It's an amazing quote because Dion just said it.
Exactly how it is. As harsh as it may be on the previous head coach. And the thing about Sean McDermott, I want to be so clear about this, I want to give Sean credit. I want to give Sean McDermott so much credit because I think he's been all class, 100% class since the firing. I love the way he's handled himself and everything because you know that was hard for him.
Really, really hard for him. And I even bet, as hard as it was to watch that last night, I bet he was happy to see that team look so great last night, even though it didn't make him look great. But he's a class guy. And I think that Sean has handled a tough situation as well as you possibly could. That said, nobody can deny that this team is looking and playing like a weight has been lifted.
The Bills' vibe has completely changed, and it just seems like it stems from them going from a defensive coach who was wound way too tight. To an offensive stud who is loose and has got that swagger, who's made the most of this opportunity. And make no mistake about it, right? Joe Brady's a freaking stud. And the players are picking up on it, and they're thriving so far.
They feel like Madden. We're talking about a new era. Era, era, era in Buffalo. Off to a pretty perfect start. Two excellent wins to start the year.
The quarterback already running away with the MVP. The coaching change looks like a genius move. And the best part of all, Buffalo. You did it all without the juice. You had juice.
But did it without the juice? You had so much juice. But then no juice at all. You follow me? You follow me, Cameraman.
For the first time in over four decades, a win in Buffalo without that double murderer's name upon the men. Tell me now, what change? Maybe Sean McDermott was not the only one harshing the vibes for that team before. Maybe it wasn't Sean at all. Maybe it was all OJ who was killing the vibes in that old building.
Like he killed those two people. Betty Jean, I am sorry, ma'am. It looks like the Bills were right to say that he was no longer fit to be up on that wall. Gotta wait with my mother. Even if he was fit.
When he ran for those two thousand yards. All right, again, I think we're confusing physically fit. With metaphorically fit. What does MatFit mean? What does not fit mean?
It means he killed two people, therefore he's not fit to be glorified on our wall of fame. That's what not fit means. Did they just say? They are saying so. Anyway, fortunately for you, Buffalo.
You no longer need to cling to that one achievement made by a murdering psycho over fifty years ago because you actually have some really exciting things, really exciting people to root for right the bleep now. And thankfully, none of them have ever murdered anybody. Cut it, OJ. Buffalo. I need to hear from you.
Detroit, I need to hear from you. Million different ways to go with that game last night. What a vibe. What a vibe in that stadium, man. That was electric.
You feel like trick. One eight hundred six three six eight six eight six Hey, anybody in Buffalo, were you in the house last night? Were you in that new house? I want to know what it was like. Also, Detroit.
I know you didn't like that open. But am I wrong? Am I wrong? I thought that window would slam shut before the year started, and then I watched you in the first two weeks. And it didn't take a genius to know if Tyler Shuck was going to carve you, the hell was Josh Allen Jim going to do to you?
Josh Allen Jim. Exactly what he did last night.
Alright, some other things I want to get to, of course, we've got the big showdown in Oxford. Oh is you? Oh miss, what do you know? The miraculous healing powers of one Sam Lovitt. From Doubtful It's a questionable.
This dude is. Man, he is a fast healer. No way. I'll give you my lean on that game. I may even give you my pick on that game, but we'll break it down.
They're waiting on lane in Oxford. And all of a sudden, now everybody in Oxford hates this guy's guts. that he's the worst human being ever for doing what he did to them. Yeah, but this is what he does to everybody. And when he was there, you thought he was the greatest guy ever.
And then he does to you what he's done to everybody, and now he's the worst guy ever? You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of me and my rock idol Paul Westerberg. And I idolized Westerberg for being a rock star and doing all those rock star things until he rock starred me. And then I was all bent.
And like, hey man. You're a bad guy. Wait a minute, Rome. You idolized him for all those things, and then when he did those things to you, you had a problem? That's you, old miss.
That's you, Oxford. I'll give you an example when we get to it. In addition to that, other things I want to talk about, I I don't even know. If I should tease this, Tommy, because if I tease it, then we're talking about it. If I don't tease it, it might not come up.
However, I will give you this, clones. I'm shocked that it hasn't come up. That's my hint. There's one massive topic that I am massively shocked. has not come up on this show this week.
And I don't want to say what it is because I'm kind of hoping that it doesn't come up.
Something that I will talk about. Freaking Ichiro. Did you see each row take the bump? Fifty two year old each row. Carving fools Seventeen strikeouts each row.
Fifty-two. Carving fools striking out seventeen, except for one small detail. They were teenage girls. And he's up there staring him down like he's Randy bleeping Johnson in his prime. It's hilarious.
Eight six. 8-6. My man had the intensity. Of Roger Clemens on the juice back in the day. Man, he wanted it worse at all.
Except the Rocket at least was facing other roided-out big leaguers. Each row is facing teenage girls. And stealing the ball, don't talk back to me, all right?
So funny. All right, so Amani Toomer coming up at 1 o'clock straight up Pacific time. Barron Davis coming up at 2:20 Pacific time. Find your way in. I'm not hard to find.
Just pick a lane, pick a platform, get up in here. Your reaction when we come back. Just slopped the tongue on my mic. That was a monster open. Welcome to your most rewarding season ever, only on FanDuel.

Ready to PG-13. Maybe inappropriate for children under 13.
So there's a pretty fun game. What's Rome talking about? Chats all over this. What's the story that he doesn't want to get into? that he's absolutely shocked hasn't come up on its own so far this week.
Some of you are onto it, and then some of you are onto another story. that is so heinous that I can't get into. Like the first one is heinous. And I'm glad it hasn't come up. I'm just shocked it hasn't come up.
The second one is so utterly reprehensible that I can't let it in here. I can't acknowledge it. I can barely acknowledge it off air. You know, I always say that there's two shows. Prior to chat, I would always make the point, there are two shows that are running simultaneously.
The one you hear on the air, which is pretty damn good, and then the one you hear off air, which is going on at the same exact time, which is better than the one we're doing on the air. And that's the show that I'm doing with the XR4Ti. That's the one where I'm saying to the guys: hey, you know what I really want to say right here? That would get us all fired. That So I'll just tell it to you, but I won't say it on the air.
That show's better than this show, obviously. And then now you have your own show in chat that you all just say whatever the hell you want to say. Anyway, anyway. One of these stories, if it were to come up, and I'm shocked it hasn't come up, I might have a take on. The other story is so reprehensible, I don't even know if I'd have a take on it off the air.
That reprehensible. And some of you are guessing that.
So no, we're not going there. A few years ago, there was a loss in our family, and what that was was a reminder that life is so unpredictable.

Okay, I like it.
Somebody from Detroit. In market on topic at John Allegra 7667, quote, Detroit guy here. I agree, but I thought that window closed last year. They will never have a better look at it than they did in 24. Hey, same page.
No, I agree. I thought they'd closed last year too, and then a lot of you Lions fans pushed back on that and said, no, no, no, we're good, we're good. And then you see how they come out this year. It did close. And they will never have a better look at it than they did two years ago.
It's almost like Campbell himself knew it. That's why he said nothing is guaranteed. You have to finish when you get there. How about the Bengals? Like, didn't we all used to say Didn't Joe Brady say the window or Joe Burrow, I should say, didn't Burrow himself say The championship window will never close as long as I'm here.
Yeah, well, how'd that go? Nothing is guaranteed. That's why when you get there, you have to finish because everything can change in an instant. At Big Jared, Joe Brady. Is the best architect since Mike Brady.
Good one, Big Jared. The best thing about that show, well, first of all, when you were a kid, and that was like my era. Show is amazing. Era Even better was finding out after the fact which cast members got with each other. Hey, it's Ducknot Radio.
How are the Bills supposed to crush their fans' hope in winter? if they don't aggressively over promise in September. Come on, nut. Did you not see how they looked? A dude from Cheers07 Buffalo.
Don't be too hype on your team. Your defense looks like ish two over the last two games. Fair. Fair. They're going to have to get better defensively, but.
Jim Leonard just got there. Give him a minute. Give them a minute. We'll see. But yes.
They're giving up a lot of points and a lot of yardage and some chunk plays, but their defense is not nearly as concerning as Detroit's. Three cracked cheeks. Bench. The salts. Bench the salt.
You stay. I've never seen anything like that. Mm my man had the ammonia In his mouth he's just chewing on it. Like it was a blunt Or a heater. I mean, normally you just get that one whiff, and you're like, ooh, I'm good.
Okay. But then again, he apparently was in the hot tub before the game, sweating out the fever. And, you know, Josh being Josh, he's not copying to any of that. Alan L. 90-31.
Smoke weed, throw bombs, run like Josh Allen. Except that wasn't weed, man. It was ammonia. It was salts. He was smoking the salts.
Incredible. Brian Nodine. 1273. Rome is talking about being shocked that Joanna We trick hasn't come up. Maybe Rome is and maybe Rome isn't.
Big Stew OSU, did I miss the High Rocks take yet? Did Romy launch into that yesterday?
Okay, I would say this: Big Stew O S U. Romy did not launch into that yesterday. Romy has not launched into that. That may or may not be what I'm talking about. See, that might be the one thing.
That is just too gnarly for even me to go to. And then it's the other story that you're bringing up. that maybe I haven't launched into, but will. V and a fee Monster open, Jim. And I've seen a monster open About one hundred times.
Signed the Florida Sun. Who had sex with his mom? one hundred times. Wore the Betty Jean video. Your mom.
All right. V. Um just not even gonna respond. And why are you putting that on him? The Florida son who had sex with his mom one hundred times.
How do we know she didn't have sex with him 100 times? I'm done with that. I I have I have no thoughts on that. You probably thought I was going to say, oh, I've got lots of thoughts on that. I actually have no thoughts on that.
Not one, V.
Sopra, look who's in. Brahma. Chargers rule. Raiders suck. Good night now.
Sandstorm me, brah. Go ahead, Alvin, if you want. It is Hell Week. It has been Hell Week. Bruh Perfect Friday for some sandstorm.
It's Friday. Friday of Hell Week. The Raiders are one to know. Baron Davis is going to come on later on to talk about the Raiders because he hosts a show dedicated to the Raiders. And the Chargers are 0-1 and already in a must-win situation.
Actually a perfect time for Sandstorm. Oh, they have to win that game. I'm not saying panic yet. Charger fan, I'm saying if the Raiders somehow do you, you can go ahead and panic. You don't need to hit that panic button yet.
I would know where it is though. If I were you, Charger fan, I would not hit that panic button yet. After that horrible first game against Arizona, but I'd make damn sure you know where that button is. And if the Raiders do do you, I'd be jumping up and down on that thing.
So bra. Romy Has no fear of Josh Allen. I'm here. If the first week is any indicator. Allen may have to face his Vader as this thing could go through KC.
Impressive. Yeah, or it could go through Highmark. Listen, I I said it. Kerm is without question the most accomplished player in the game right now. And I love that he came back the way he did.
I love that he shredded his knee.
Well, I don't love that that happened, but this guy tore an ACL. In L C L. And made it back for week one? and look pretty good. I mean, that speaks to this dude's grit, his heart, his grind, how badly he wants it.
What an amazing face of the franchise that he is. I mean, I could not respect that guy more. But in terms of preparing for either one of those two quarterbacks, there's not a D coordinator in the league. that wouldn't rather face Kerm right now than Josh Allen. Kermit's not the best player in the league right now.
He's the most accomplished player in the league right now. How are you going to tell me that Josh Allen isn't the best player in the NFL right now? Josh Allen, Jim. If not, Josh Allen, Jim, then who? He's just on a different level right now.
Hey, linear messenger, I see you, brah. If you can hang in there for a few minutes, I'll take that telephone call. 1-800-636-8686. Amani Toomer coming up in 20 minutes. Baron Davis coming up in hour number three.
And in and around all that, I've got my thoughts on Ole Miss and LSU. In fact, I've even got a prediction for you. And one story that I'm shocked has not come up. That I might get into a little bit later on. Ich row, I'm just gonna say flat out, I'm getting into that later on.
I love that story. I love the video. I love the story. I love that this guy wants it that badly. I love that this guy's still carving fools.
17-year-old female fools. Like each year, what are we doing, dude? Like, I can't believe how badly it's like his World Series. But then again, it is his World Series. He played for the Mariners.
Of course, he's still out there acting like it's the World Series, even though it's against teenage girls. He was a mariner. This is his World Series. All right, don't go anywhere. Pick up the phone, use it either to thumb out something on X or get to the chat, or actually give me a phone call and we'll come right back.

It's a great day. Listen, yesterday, I just want to follow up on the fan duel segment. I love that saying of Jim, and I love meet some James Kelly, man. I'm a huge fan of James Kelly. I put him on my Mount Rushmore, but there's not enough boulder out there to carve his melon.
But James Kelly, he's an entrepreneur. He's a grinder. He's got the rocket wife. But before you clones start coming at me like I'm glazing the guy. I'm not calling James Kelly if I'm looking for good looking advice.
or if I'm looking to build some biceps or triceps. But when it comes to his NFL picks, The guys are the Donus. I mean, last year, I've been dissecting his numbers for years. Last year, he was fifty eight, fifty one and two, straight up, but that's not why I'm calling. I got the secret sauce.
You want to make money. You want to cash paper with James Kelly. Do these three words. Tease the head. You got to tease the head.
Now you degenerates know what I'm talking about, but you newbies, it's a six-point various. If you would tease the head and don't get crazy and pick all five games. Yeah, maybe pick your two, make your three. It only takes two to tango. Just ask for zinnie and braves.
Last year, James Kelly was eighty three and twenty eight when you teased the head. Take that for data. I'm just trying to help you clones make that rent to own payment you have on that slat screen before RentoCenter comes by and repos it. I'm giving you, or James Kelly's giving you, the golden leads, clones. And I don't want to come off like Don Lapri, rest in peace.
But if you do this, clones, you're going to win. I'm excited. Let's go. War, the Yinsers, and the 412. I'm out.
I can't believe this guy. I've never. Like, every. First of all, the guy doesn't call. He does not call.
He's certainly never been that comfortable. Take every call he's ever made, put them together into a mix or matchup, and it wouldn't be. half that long. Like I I do not Were you smoking Josh Allen's ammonia blunt? What got into that dude?
Okay. But he's not wrong. He's not wrong about James Kelly. James Kelly is a grinder. James Kelly is an entrepreneur.
James Kelly does, frankly, have a rocket wife. James Kelly knows what he's talking about. These are all true things. Those are all true statements. And he takes that segment very seriously, and he works it, and he preps it, and he does have a system.
He won't tell me what this system is, but I know James Kelly. I've known him for years. And he and I were talking last night. The thing that I like best, there are two things I like a lot about James Kelly. He's one of my favorite dudes ever.
Number one, He grinds, he works, he's old school. He actually kind of came up out the mud. Honestly. And number two, he loves ball. He loves it.
Loves it. And three, he preps it and does have a system, and he is true to the system, and he can make you money. If you're smart about it.
So everything that guy just said about James Kelly is true. And if you listened to him yesterday, he said, lay the points. And if you did, you got paid. 1-800-636-8686. Let's go to Kansas City, Cody, NKC.
Good to have you, Cody. What's up? Hey, yo, Jimothy, thanks for the vine, man. Hey, let me get into this real quick. I am so tired.
Of this Chargers narrative that happens every single year. Every year, I'm so tired of it. Chiefs, man, but we all know that the Raiders are going to beat the Chargers. The Chargers are going to 0-2. The Chargers are playing like dogs, not the good kind, but the bad kind that are old and tired and played out and piss on the floor because they can't make it out the doggy door.
The Chargers are playing like dogs.
So much so that even that wife with the video camera wouldn't even touch him, Jim, okay? It's time for Daddy Jim Harbaugh to be led outside to the doghouse, and I want every media member That has been picking the Chargers every year to win the AFC West to know that once again, Kermit and Co. are going to take them. And they're going to take the division, and they need to get their faces and the noses rubbed in their filth that they predict every single year. More Missouri State Bears football over Marshall this week.
And Jimothy, I'm out. All right, Cody. That's a Raider fan in KC. That's kind of odd. Here's the thing about the Chargers.
So, in recent years, since they hired Jim Harbaugh, the expectation level has come up and it's gone up, and the bar has been raised every single year. But this year, with the addition of Mike McDaniel, It's been the highest yet. Like, if not now, then when? If not now, then when. There were a lot of people saying it's actually their division.
Never mind that Denver went. Within seconds of getting to the Super Bowl. Never mind that Patrick Wilhelms was coming back and they added Kenneth Walker the third, the Super Bowl MVP. I mean, there were a lot of pundits saying the division actually is going to be the Chargers. And then they come out and they urinate down their leg and they get beat by Arizona.
I mean humbled, humiliated, beaten down. I'm not saying that the Raiders are going to run away with the AFC West. Far from it. I'm not saying the Raiders are a playoff team. Far from it.
I am saying the Raiders won week one. I am saying that if the raiders Beat the Chargers given the immense expectations of the Chargers? All hell is going to break loose. That's a must-win game. for the Chargers.
Tough enough to make the playoffs no matter who you are, if you're 0-2. Not impossible, but really hard and even in a 17 game season. But if you're 0 2 and you lose to the Cardinals and the Raiders back to back, I'm going to say it's impossible to make the playoffs. Amani tumor next. My dough never sees a freezer.
