Kansas City wins the game. First things first, Reed. Have you won anything three years in a row in your life? Nothing I can think of. Do you talk about it openly?

We're kind of in the realm of not talking about the past too much. Today's guests. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Pro football hall of famer Charles Woodson. Ravens running back Derrick Henry.

Actor Paul Rudd. And now it's Rich Eisen. That's right.

That's correct. Welcome to this edition of the Rich Eisen Show. It is back to football week. We just saw a college football palooza of a weekend and now we are set for the National Football League to begin in 48 hours from this very conversation we're having live on the Roku channel and the Roku sports channel. We will be taking all of this show on the road to Kansas City starting tomorrow for a three-day residency in the home of the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. We are going to be in the city of the NFL 2024 season opener and it is going to be glorious. But first we have quite the program in store for you today whether you're watching on the Roku sports channel or listening on this Rich Eisen Show terrestrial radio affiliate Sirius XM, Odyssey, TuneIn and more our podcast listeners. You've got three hours in store that's pretty awesome. We're all excited to say hello to Travis Kelce in 20 minutes time and as if that's not enough we also have Brock Purdy on this program to be fair and balanced from the season kickoff opener Derrick Henry of the Ravens.

Charles Woodson our full football hall of fame friend from the Raiders and the Packers and of course my alma mater the University of Michigan. He'll be joining us in the middle of hour number two. It's a an overreaction Monday on a Tuesday edition of that particular popular segment. The season preview edition of overreaction Monday should have been in your podcast inboxes on Labor Day. We appreciate everybody who's been checking that out and then getting you set potentially for your fantasy leagues. In hour number three a fantasy football diehard who is going to continue the tradition of choosing our team name for our fantasy team that we are going to win with in our league that we do at the fantasy footballers. The great Paul Rudd will be joining us on the program in hour three. That draft actually just ended so that's correct good. It finally ended.

Travis Kelce, Derrick Henry, Brock Purdy, Charles Woodson, Paul Rudd and you at 844-204-rich being the number to dial. We already see phone lines lighting. Greatly appreciative of that. So now that we've got that order of business out of the way good to see you Christopher Brockman. It's great to be seen. I'm so fired up. College was so great over the weekend. Pumped to go to KC. Let's go. Good to see you DJ Mikey Diaz and Deez Nuts. How are you sir? Good morning. Good to see you TJ Jefferson.

The candle is lit. What's going on? What's going on Rich? I'll tell you what's going on.

Burnt ends, baked beans, mac and cheese, brisket. I can't wait to get to Kansas City to get this. We might go out tonight. By the way if you're at KC late night tonight you might see me and TJ at a spot. Okay great fantastic. Let's go.

Getting a grub on. Well I'll be I'll be still here hosting the NFL network NFL game day morning season preview show that's on at 8 Eastern tonight and then I'll hop on a plane to join you guys tomorrow. It's a double dip for for me today. I thought when you said burnt ends you meant Florida State. By the way I tried to tell y'all last week they're not making the playoff. Nobody wanted to listen. You guys are so big.

Nobody wanted to listen. I told you. We'll talk about that on this program. 8 4 4 2 0 4 Rich. That was unnecessary.

That was great. Bill O'Brien can coordinate an offense. Bob has let it be known.

He's in college football. Again 8 4 4 2 0 4 Rich is the number to dial. You know what?

I'm gonna start this show off with a top five list. Oh already. That's right. Oh we got you. It's guest-a-palooza right?

It is guest-a-palooza. But it is a tradition that we conduct here every year. We kick off NFL kickoff week with my top storylines of the 2024 season and I've been cultivating this caper like the Lufthansa heist over the last six months. Ever since we started this machine and turning it back on again with free agency and then of course the combine and the draft and all of that business all the way through to training camps and even still some of these storylines are playing out before kickoff depending on who signs and who does not.

But these are season-long storylines and I try to make them as broad as possible because there are 32 fan bases that say I've got one particular team that I'm keen in and on and what the storyline is. But here we go. The top five storylines of the 2024 National Football League season. Hit it. Here we go. High five. One, two, three, four, five. Rich's top five. All right here we go. Are you ready? The top five storylines of the 2024 National Football League season that begins on Thursday night in Kansas City.

Number five on this list. Is there a savior in the rookie quarterback class in 2024? Yay or nay? Is Caleb Williams finally the guy that Chicago's been waiting for? Is Jayden Daniels the guy that will lead the commanders into a whole new world with a new ownership group and a new stadium around the corner? Is Jayden Daniels the guy? Will we see a significant amount of Drake May this season? Will he prove to clearly be the guy? And what about Bo Nix who's starting in Denver? Can he be the sneaky quarterback savior that a lot of folks in Denver are hoping he can at least bring some stability and some playoff confidence for Sean Payton's team? And is Michael Penix going to get any run? Obviously we know JJ McCarthy is out for the season, but will we see somebody step to the four in a way that 2021 draft class certainly has really yet to? We know Trevor Lawrence is still with his team.

Everybody else is spread out all over the map. Number five. Is there a savior in the rookie quarterback class?

That will be a season-long storyline arc. Number four. I'm going to drill down on just one team and one quarterback in particular. Guy was on a career path to the Hall of Fame right from jump. Self-made man. Made the most of his first opportunity. Busted the door down and put a Lombardi Trophy in the Pacific Northwest.

Russell Wilson's last stand is storyline number four of my top five storylines for the 2024 season. What's going to go down for him? What opportunity is in front of him today? Week one against the Atlanta Falcons. What opportunity is sitting there and how long will he be able to stay the starting quarterback?

Or will that just not even be a question? He'll just come out and he'll look like the Russ of old and the Russ that cooked. Now we'll have a new hashtag let Russ smelt in Pittsburgh, PA. I understand this is a division chock full of storylines with the Ravens. Can they be a one seed again? Lamar, how will he defend his MVP championship? Joe Burrow coming back from an injury.

Deshaun Watson, can he return to elite status? But Russell Wilson's last stand for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin placing a very stout defensive-led team in his hands with a new offensive coordinator is definitely a season-long storyline. Number three.

Here we go. Number three went back and forth on this one because the Lions to me are a terrific storyline to look at the entire season and the roar restoration project that damn near had that team in the Super Bowl last season and Brad Holmes the general manager of the Lions saying last week the goal is to win a Super Bowl. How many times have you seen a Lions general manager say that out loud with a straight face and mean it and everybody can believe it and I understand the Eagles getting new coordinators and what they can do to get back to the Super Bowl are of interest but I'm gonna go here. What will the Niners do in their last ride with an affordable Brock Purdy?

Paying everybody. Trent Williams is making his way to San Francisco in time for the opener against the Jets for which Brandon Iuch has already been in the fold for almost an entire week. Purdy this will be his last year as being known as Mr. Irrelevant because he will be Mr. Relevant with a contract that most likely starts annually with a six and a ton of zeros after it and he can look around the locker room and the Niners can look around the locker room and wonder are we gonna be able to keep this team together although believe it or not they have currently a league best 50 million dollars in cap room right now for this year but that said they are well positioned I think to play deep into the future for their window of opportunity here but Purdy making as much money as he's gonna make in the coming years how are they gonna be able to keep everyone together that's number three and to see how they play all season long number two though I'm drilling down on one team and you know it it's interesting the Niners resigning you know or extending and extending McCaffrey and extending Iuch and extending Trent Williams and paying these guys technically they're also going all in with their current roster but we're only talking about one team going all in number two storyline season-long storyline for 2024 the Dallas Cowboys all in season I think it's self-explanatory every game every game and even if they do resign Dak before the season every game will be having a boiling pot hoping to place a lid on it for January in a winter go home situation the Dallas Cowboys wet all in season the the way that they way that they have approached this season based on the way last season ended the way they have reacted to being one and done by a young Packers team 100% has a ripple effect in the 2024 pond that will keep on rippling with their coach not signed past this season and Dak as of presently not signed past this season no quarterback signed past this season that's number two number one it's clear I think everybody knows it the top season-long storyline of the 2024 NFL season is the Chiefs three-peat attempt only eight teams have attempted it beforehand three teams have made it as far as the championship game the Steelers in the 70s the Niners made it as far as the NFC championship game with George Seifert and then we also know another another championship game appearance occurred previously in this run as well two teams didn't even make the playoffs how far will the Chiefs go that is the question and is it possible that we see the first ever three-peat in the history of the National Football League those are the top five season-long storylines do you think we need one more sure all right we'll get one more and I'll drill down to one other team here too and this has nothing to do with me please understand this has nothing to do with me this really has zero to do with me but the Aaron Rodgers mulligan season yeah I was shocked it didn't make your initial five I I because I think the other five are are you know significant enough and still again this is this is still a New York story in many ways I think but Rodgers is as internationally known as there is but the Jets are better guys now than they were last year entering the season the offensive line is a totally different beast I think defensively they are better and hey listen you could sit here and say he was trying to make it back last season and he was doing things that you know 39 year old humans with a repaired Achilles shouldn't be doing even if thinking about attempting a comeback last season so you assumed he would make it this season he's still a 40 year old guy with a repaired Achilles who hasn't played more than just five snaps in a year and a half and the fact that the Jets get a mulligan season with Aaron Rodgers was not a given last year they get one what do they do with it with a Bills team that does appear to be ready to be plucked from the top of this division the Dolphins look terrific as you all know last week we predicted the AFC East and I think we all said the Dolphins are gonna win it didn't we say that yeah all of us I think we all have the same but what are the Jets gonna do in their Aaron Rodgers mulligan season and we're gonna see him on a Monday night we're seeing him on a Thursday night week three we're seeing him on a Sunday night against Pittsburgh once again the NFL is putting them front and center and those are my top storylines for the 2024 NFL season season long beginning to end let's go man we're here what say you 844-204-rich number to dial cowboys are going all in pally boy I mean it finally makes sense to me what is with all but it's kind of funny no the Niners are all in too with the same team I mean they have added some players and you know Ricky Pearsall unfortunately how crazy is well unfortunately he's missing the first four weeks fortunately he's alive yeah most importantly and you know the Niners are stacked and they're just decided we're you know we got and it makes sense you almost won a Super Bowl last year you went to the you were leading in overtime words I've nobody's ever said for a Super Bowl before so let me ask so quickly before we go to break like what happens right let's say what the Niners let's say they don't win the Super Bowl this year right and they've got to pay Brock that contract again they have 50 million dollars in cap space right now and so you know I'm not going I'm not going to sit here and say that they're done that was actually a an overreaction Monday subject I believe two weeks ago on our pod where you threw out there that that the Niners this is their last chance to win a Super Bowl in the window this is their last window of opportunity because Purdy's going to get paid I'm not going to buy that but you could say this is their last best chance with this roster easy I mean how are they going to be able to fit everybody in and a 60 million dollar quarterback yeah just ask Jerry Jones about the pie all right we'll take a break Travis Kelsey of the Kansas City Chiefs it's been a while since we've talked to killer traffic lots has happened

weekend and here's the contents joining me now here in advance of yet another title defense and season kickoff for the Kansas City Chiefs in a banner raise is first ballot hall of famer and one of the best of the best Travis Kelsey how are you sir what's going on rich it's been too long brother it's been too long it certainly has and you know I just was getting ready this is year 12 for you you're 12 these things are flying by they sure are you know and I don't think because of everything that's gone on with you and your career and how you're blowing up you are the second draft choice of Andy Reid's in Kansas City after Eric Fisher right yeah 2013 when he came over from Philly it was Eric Fisher and then and then we didn't have a second round pick but I was the first uh first pick and taken in the third round did did he call you like what was your draft like where were you okay walk me through your draft day oh yeah I love telling the story so I get uh I get a call from a Missouri number and an Ohio kid like me had no idea that Kansas City was located in Missouri and uh sure enough I'm thinking it's the St. Louis rent or St. Louis Rams because they were still in St. Louis at that time right so I'm thinking I'm gonna get a call from St. Louis and I'm not gonna lie we had one or two guys from the University of Cincinnati go to St. Louis before and it just wasn't the team just they didn't have any legs at that point before they moved to LA and um so I was kind of like bummed when I saw the Missouri number and then all of a sudden I answer it and it's Coach Reed and it's just the most exciting it went from like I get to play for Coach Reed because I had heard so much good things from everybody in the Eagles organization that my brother was tied to and obviously my brother had nothing but the best things to say about how great of a coach he was and um he immediately like kind of like centered my excitement it was like hey are you gonna screw this up are you gonna am I doing the right thing by taking you and I'm just immediately that's what he said that's what he said I promise you I promise you and then and I I promised him myself that I really wanted to like be the best best pick he ever had I was just so thankful that he uh he was taking a taking a chance on me and uh and then immediately he's like all right is your brother around put him on the phone and it was kind of like just reassuring him that uh that I was the right pick and my brother's just yes sir yes sir he'll I'll make sure that he keeps his head on straight so it was one of my favorite stories so that was the like you didn't know it at the time like the first ever episode of the new heights podcast pretty much right there right you're like piloting that with right there with andy reed is your first guest that is funny man and you are like the you're the only guy on offense that remembers what it was like there in a post a pre-mahomes era too oh yeah you know yeah I'm pretty I might be it's me and james winchester our long snapper I think we're the only two left from the uh pre-mahomes era well I mean sis jones on defense too right chris jones I think was he there a year before you he actually yeah I think you're right I think you're right I think you did sneak in with uh alex smith yeah he had I will say this though on the offensive side on the offensive side it's so funny seeing the offense be you know my first couple years giving jamal charles the ball I always just tell everybody our offense is give jamal the ball like we want that ball in his hands as much as possible and now it's it's so much fun uh letting mahomes get the keys to the car and see him just absolutely take over the league man yeah I again I'm just what do you sit back at any point in time and just go holy crap what has happened here and you are in an opportunity to three-peat travis and it's real I mean it's not it's it is totally real do you ever have a moment like that I'll tell you what it's it's fun every year to kind of look back and see how far you come and everything and um it's but it's just so much more exciting to see where this thing can go and then it's and it's been like that since coach ree drafted me here every single year it's felt like we kind of took that stepping stone to get to where we are today and um what an unbelievable challenge that we got ahead of us knowing that uh you know doing it two years in a row last year I felt like we had the uh our target on our back the bullseye on our back that everybody was taking their best shot at and it's even going to be even more that this year uh knowing that um you know we do have this routine and that system set by coach reed to keep getting better every single year and every single week throughout the year so uh you know it's uh the the beginning product isn't the same as the end product and um you know it's just uh it's so much fun getting to uh experience these challenges year in year out these new challenges that get you excited to play football man so the challenge is being the first one to ever do it like you're openly talking about it like clearly winning the single i haven't talked to a single guy on this team about three peatons since we won the super bowl last year and i think that's uh that's an ode to coach reed and just how how how great of a leader he is to keep looking forward you know this thing isn't over with yet we were able to get a lot of the guys from last year's team back in the building and uh the pockets pockets a little bit more full than they were last year and uh it's just fun seeing everybody get paid and uh and then stay here in kansas city wanting to build this thing and wanting to just you know attack the day and uh and i think i mentioned it earlier we have this system in place that we just keep getting better every single week and you know you can't think about the super bowl or the three peat um you got to keep winning games and taking on everyone's best shot and just keep being better as a team throughout the year yeah but this is history man i mean i'll be honest like i'm kind of surprised nobody at any point in time you don't think even maybe before thursday opening night somebody says like this is our time and we're going to do it and people can't believe believe that we have a chance all that sort of none at all zero everybody's just focused on on the now we're focused on baltimore we know we're not going to get to the playoffs without playing the playing our tails off in the regular season and getting off to a great start and baltimore is a hungry hungry team you know they were they were you know the number one seed the afc was or in the afc last year just that that alone sets the tone of you know this is uh the afc kind of rematch here the top dogs in our our conference and we just uh we're excited about that challenge man are you and mahomes gonna warm up in justin tucker's zone again is that gonna happen again yeah i don't know i don't know i live that was tucker's home field so i don't know how his uh his routine is on this side of things i i got nothing but love for tucker i you know he was kind of giving me the wink and and laughing about it last year and i don't know i just wasn't in a laughing mood but i i just it was um it was an interesting interaction that uh that caught a lot a lot of wind um so we'll see what happens this year but just know i got nothing but love for justin tucker man dude we were on the air on nfl game day morning and we had this whole segment about just breaking down the x's and o's of the game the afc championship game chiefs versus that ravens defense and then that video came in and we just chucked the run down right out the window honestly that's all we talked about for 10 15 minutes about you know it's whose turf is it and what's going on and then you i think you picked up like what is his kicking sort of stand and you you flung it out that you out the back of the end zone and we were all you know it was funny i don't want your quarterback to to get to step on anything you know so i was just making sure my my qbs were safe and you know uh just politely i politely moved it i politely moved it level-headed travis kelsey here in advance of the thursday night kickoff against the uh baltimore ravens all right so uh what about you know you man are you thinking you're dozen you know you get a shot at a three-peat and are you looking at this as maybe uh your last year like just walk through the front door here brother man i'll tell you what i'm i'm still enjoying coming to work i'm not dreading practices and uh you know i i had my guy uh julian edelman jump on uh new heights with me and my brother uh last year and he was mentioning you know he had to hang it up when he couldn't go out there and practice when he couldn't get out there and work on his craft to be to feel like he's you know accountable for the guys next to him that's when he kind of started questioning and i'm just having so much fun i'm just you know just uh so appreciative and so fortunate that i've i've been able to come into year 12 and still have this this energy and this love and the uh the ability to go out there and get to work man how much did you think about it after winning a second time how how um not it didn't cross my mind one bit i think the excitement of of the challenge of this year and being able to maybe do it a third time in a row i think that alone um was all i needed to to to to come back and i mean that was instant thought so it was never even a really a a chance and and i hope that i wasn't coming back this year really just because again um the opportunity for and again i know you're not talking to your guys in a lifetime opportunity yeah 100 that you're able to just say you could say something for the rest of your life that you're you're part of that first ever and what you and mahomes and reed have built pretty much it oh yeah these are these are some of the challenges in football that that really what is it i think only five or six teams have had the chance to do like that's a very rare achievement um to even get the opportunity to have that challenge you know and i just think that uh it's so unique and um i'm just excited to be able to you know lace them up still and then play at a high level and then because again i mean you you and your bro uh have honestly the hottest podcast that's out there a nine figure deal you just signed if i'm not mistaken are you doing game shows now are you hosting a game show what is this oh yeah are you smarter than a celebrity man we have to get you on next season yeah i mean you're uh see if you see if you can answer some first uh sixth grade uh elementary school uh questions when do we see that when does this when does this hit when when when are we seeing this hits in uh this hits in september i believe september 20th somewhere around there's 29th maybe and that's that's all let's let's get this out here because i'm sure people are going to start going crazy because anything you do people start you know spinning out of control this is all in the can right you shot this in the summer this is oh yeah this was all back in i think april yeah we did all this in the off season i am once i'm once i'm locked in once football starts in in late august man i am locked in and i'm thinking about thinking about ball and then and you know the snl the american girl doll sketch brother i'm serious like that when that was placed in front of you what did you think for a sec maybe i shouldn't maybe i should because you know i just i trusted i trusted everybody at snl you know i'm here for i'm here for laughs man i i grew up you know with a desire and and really a dream to maybe be on snl one day in my life and sure enough i find myself behind that door and coming into the studio every single day and working on these skits and i'm just having you know a full circle moment in life how life can come full circle where you're sitting on the couch as a little kid watching farley in the sandman and all of a sudden you're getting a text from adam sandler afterwards telling you you crushed it man it's uh it's such a such a unique and unbelievable feeling and um yeah i didn't shy away from uh any skit that they had i was just i was i'm a big team effort guys so i was i was in it for the uh for the whole so everything you committed to the bit brother that is for damn sure i mean you you only know one speed is basically what you're saying pretty much once those once that camera's on baby you gotta you just gotta go full full send are you coming for my job is that basically what you no no no no i want to work with you rich okay i want to work with because i'm just saying i mean game shows that's the dream is to work with rich isa well i mean listen we can make these dreams realities but but uh it is it is pretty cool man um and then um i i it's it's amazing how i get texts about you from my children now that is this is now a new thing for me so like did you see travis dancing um in the eras tour in london and i'm like okay they're informing me about stuff that's happening with you uh how much dancing is a stretch dancing is a stretch but how much prep work needed to go in for that one how much i'm not gonna lie it wasn't a lot it wasn't a lot taylor knew i'm just uh i'm uh when the lights are on i'm gonna have some fun and uh she she put me in a position to where i didn't have to do much for it to be a success she put me in a really comfortable uh uh part of the show and um i was just there not to screw anything up i i mentioned it on new heights i just didn't want to drop her when i was carrying her on that stage that would have been the most embarrassing thing i could have ever done so just getting her to the couch was the hardest part well you're known for completing you know the process of the of the catch man i mean like you can't get you you can't uh you can't you can't uh fumble possession there but i so but there was never in a moment where taylor looked at you and goes are you sure you have this because i know oh for sure there was definitely that extra like wait are you sure you want to do this right but she was uh she was so fun about it and you know i'm uh i'm always down to have some fun on stage with tate i love it and then and is it true my homes drop this one is she calling plays or is she drawing up plays or what is what's happening here you know she does love she she has done she has just been so open to learning the game she didn't know much about the the rules and everything and i think uh what makes her so good in her profession is that she's so detailed in every every aspect of it from from the words to the music to you know even the releases and the music videos and everything she's so detailed and a part of it that i think she was just curious about the profession and uh yeah i don't think any of the outline i know none of the none of the plays have gotten to coach read yet but um if they ever do i'll make sure everyone knows it was her creation but they exist like there there are actually something written down on a piece of paper she's a little biased she's a little biased and just creates place for me so we'll see we'll see if they can make the coach reads uh his uh his office she's scheming you open is basically what you're saying okay oh yeah well you just got to give me the option you know that's basically my home should have said i'm letting her know yeah give me the option to figure it out my home should have said the behind the back play was hers that that we should have had we should have beautiful man well listen um i i can't

right now all right i'll see you in kansas city thanks for the time travis rich you're the best big guy but i got you that's travis kelsey right here prior to thursday night kickoff fun times i mean he's just an all-time great human you remember when he first came in here right yeah yeah he came in here and and he was the tight end that war wore gronk's number yep and had some abilities that looked like gronk's and and had some let's have some issues holding back his kind of an attitude issue you know he had the flag he threw the flag at the official of the one year and got lost his cool and we had to talk to him about keeping his cool yeah and it was your wonder like man if this guy ever gets it together controls his emotions and channels it into his play he could make something great it was a little higher register back then and now now first ballad hall famous everything yeah without a doubt may have every record known to all tight ends and um is one of the most famous people on the planet yeah would you say he's one of the faces of the league well not just the league but of pop culture honestly he's what he's the first gentleman of of pop culture that's pretty funny i'm serious and and guys yeah in frankfurt last year we were at the chief's first practice and peter king was there pita peter came up to me and he goes do you remember this much media in munich and i said it was pretty wild but no the cameras and the microphones and the reporters were all there and it wasn't because the chiefs were the defending super bowl champs they were there for travis kelsey fact fact in frankfurt the international media wanted a glimpse of travis kelsey and he that's his life now that's his oh yeah that is his life for sure and i just think it's so refreshing the way he talks about his girlfriend and obviously goes about his football business and the three-peat is real gents the three-peat is flat out real more than and again i don't know because it was just 20 years ago um i don't know if it was just 20 years ago i don't know if it was just 20 years ago um but flat out real in a way that it didn't feel that real for the patriots well it's because media is different that's why don't you think it's 100 media yeah in my opinion i'm also patriots made it as far as the divisional round against the broncos lost on the work they by the way because they went 10 and 6 they went 10 and 6 and still won the division thanks to afcs just just you know fell down flat yeah and champ bailey fumbled out the end zone and they didn't call it well there was a lot

what you're 20 you know the arthur arthur listen man i i know this is the time of of uh of of excitement and and optimism um it's not about that what is about that what is it about if only you believe like i believe yeah sure why not arthur in new york everybody is going into the whole yacht rock right there great job there well done mike 20 here coach i mean come on what do we do 20 and oh baby dude jet fans are excited they are excited although i kind of like the jets on monday night not gonna lie hey man i have no idea jets could win monday night come back loose to the titans easy i mean this this season uh i it's really wide open for a lot of teams for a lot of teams college football took me one half of college football for me to start drinking michigan did not have an easy time of it in the first half against fresno state starting uh their new quarterbacks plural rotating quarterbacks that's not uh not great but that's it's not what you really want to see nope um but they came out with the dub and that's better than a lot of other teams that were in the top 20 that's for sure florida state sir i don't know man i mean they got their you know what's handed to them and i don't even think it it didn't feel as close as the score finally indicated it was 28 13 and congratulations to bill o'brien yeah that dude can coach he can scheme it up man in college maybe fine if you want to say that but holy cow he he saw what what florida state could have exploited and did they exploit it could have should have been seven nothing right off the bat it was like a wide open pass dropped on third down at any rate florida state went from we should be in the playoffs because we have zero losses to one loss doesn't kill you for the playoffs anymore now that's what i thought now they're pushing the limits of two in a row oh and two yeah geez florida getting pounded by the u pounded man and that's what they were hoping when they brought in cam ward as in the portal this off season now that dude's a legit heisman trophy candidate great miami now clear acc favorites with clemson getting smoked over the weekend by georgia and congratulations to uh you know usc handing brian kelly a third consecutive season opening loss as the head coach of lsu football and if you looked at him after the game you know he he acted like they've got five losses yeah this is the table pounding moment everybody's talking about coach is it disappointing when you have you know savion jones kind of really rose up baron anderson um john and marie they kind of put you in position is it disappointing when those guys perform and you don't get a victory hell yes hell yes i mean and that's what i said to the team i said we had some guys played their butts off tonight and we're sitting here again we're sitting here again talking about the same things about not finishing when you have an opponent in a position to put them away but what we're doing on the sideline is feeling like the game's over and i'm so angry about it that i got to do something about it i'm not doing a good enough job as a coach and i got to coach him better because it's unacceptable for us not to have found a way to win this football game it's ridiculous and it's crazy yeah he's just can't believe it dude that's a shame i know you're not a fan notre dame fans i'm sure think of the same thing i'm with broccoli but because the usc though i mean and by the way great win for the big 10 great win for the that is gonna take some getting used to great win for the big 10 beating the sec exactly exactly put that on the board yeah that is gonna take some that was so weird looking at that on their that is uniform uh-huh i know weird brock purdy coming up with derek henry and charles woodson and you hour two and by the way the big 10 went 16 and one this weekend the one loss was minnesota oh to uh north carolina on thursday night oh yeah and um and uh i'd say this the kid at nebraska has got some players they got colorado this week i know that and so i texted taylor the one over the weekend watching michigan struggle a little bit against the flares fresno state and i know michigan won by 20 but texas is coming in and they looked phenomenal they looked national champion great out of the box agree what 52 nothing right agree and i understand that competition is less than and what have you great but you still have to do what you did yeah and they have a preseason they just come out and get going i texted luana i'm like you may have uh to get yourself ready for a new thing on the bus where will's got some real ability to crow in your face because that kid dominic riola yeah yeah what husk trick mahomes is what i'm trying to figure it out dylan rich dylan dylan yeah that's what i see dominic my bad his dad did i say that my old school that kid can play yeah he can play ball yeah there's a reason why he was the number one prospect coming out he can play and nebraska's got some guys to catch it too and now here comes colorado let's go that's by the way warren sapp's got to be psyched he's got a win as a coach and the u mopped the floor with the gators mopped it the rolling stone music now podcast gets inside the biggest stories with rolling stone senior writer brian hyatt movie director james mangold i want to turn bob dylan into a simple character with a simple thing to unlock that then makes you go ah now i get him first i sat down with him he said what's this movie about jim it's about a guy who's joking to death in minnesota and reinvents himself in a branded place becomes phenomenally successful starts to joke to death again and runs away and he's like i like that rolling stone music now wherever you listen
