It's game day, baby. Tom and Lamar on Thursday night. Football former Raven Eric Weddle here to break it all down. We are raiding NFL golf swings with PGA Tour champ Jordan Spieth. And for those of you who placed bets over at Fan Duel Sportsbook, the under hit. That's right. It only took me 61 miles on my new car to get my very first ticket. Isn't she cute? Ready to throw. Touchdowns at my back. Come on, so I'm great. Thanks for your trust, man. I'm so excited for this Eric Weddle will pop by to give us his thoughts. Matthew Hamilton's going to hit us in our time breaking this down X's and O's style. But let's get into what this game means. Four and three Baltimore Ravens. They go into tonight's matchup against the Buccaneers. Look in to find a mirror, find something that they can look into and say, this is who we are. This is our identity. I don't know that it's been found so far this season. It's been disjointed to start the year in many regards. On one hand, Baltimore, you can look at them and say, man, you are a few plays away from being seven and no blowing double digit leads in all three of those losses. And then on the other, you can't sell me on the fact that this team has looked like itself lately. Lamar has sort of tapered off, cooled off for a moment after a hot start and this team has not been able to win back-to-back games all season. And that of course allows that striped helmet. Did we move that striped helmet? There it is, that Bengals team to pull into a tie for the AFC North lead. Meaning, let's just, I mean, these are the way it works. The Ravens lose tonight and the Bengals could pass them if they don't get the job done. So I'm looking for Lamar to step it up under the bright lights. Like he needs to for his own contract, like he needs to for this team, like we've seen him do before. And the bright lights are where this team tends to shine. So curious to hear Eric Wettel's thoughts on that. Of course, Jordan Spieth is on the show. So keep it here for that. We're gonna have a lot of fun with him. And I mean, there's literally nothing I know less about than golf. Golf and world of the road in California. Like what's of the two do I know less about? I don't know, but we're gonna get to it and have a lot of fun with him. And then you look at this matchup tonight. Hours from now, we'll have a recap for you tomorrow. The buck side of things, they're still clinging to the division lead, which has been, I mean, what a disaster in the NFC South. We have Mark Ingramont every week, we love him. And we're like, what can we talk to you about that's positive because it's a dumpster fire. And then McCaffrey leaves and all this is going on by Carolina had this upset up Tampa Bay last week. And despite, you know, losing four of their last five of your sing on the screen right now, I wanna have hope. This is a Tom Brady led offense. They do rank just 26 so far this season and everything seems out of whack and out of sync. So why have they been struggling? Can it be fixed? These are the sort of questions I have and that's where I bring in Hamilton to break it all down. Well, it's okay. And I definitely think the box can fix this thing. Are we just gonna keep dancing? Hey, I'm a University of Dayton dad. Let me do my thing. I'll dance like a dad. What's going on with the Dayton dad sweatshirt by the way? I don't know. I sent it to you this morning and said, hey, I just found this in my closet. Is there any controversy going on with the University of Dayton? Can you vet that for me? And you said, what did you say? There was a Kia stolen on campus at some point in the past week. But I think other than that. It wasn't his dad. Hey, what's going wrong in Tampa? Well, let's hit the film and let me break it down for you. A lot of it, as our old friend, Brian Billick, used to say, this game comes down a lot of time to numbers and angles. And you'll see here the numbers in the box. The bucks have six blockers against six Panthers defenders. Everything about that tells you run the football. You get a hat on a hat. But Brady's gonna stick with the play call. Brady's always been usually good about that in his career, but he sticks with the play action pass here. You see the Panthers linebackers totally unaffected, not worried about the run game at all. And you'll see they have three defenders over two box receivers up top. At the bottom of the screen, two defenders over one box receiver. There's just gonna be nowhere for Tom Brady to go with this football on second and 10. He instead tries to dump it down to four net. That's not there either. So now you're in a third and long, which no offense ever wants to be in. And even when they get in favorable third down situations, this is a third and two, still down just seven, nothing. They're gonna run these switch verticals with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, try to attack the Panthers down the field. But Carolina's bringing a blitz. You'll see they're playing soft on Evans and Godwin. That means usually here you want some type of a hot read, some type of route adjustment. The Bucks don't do it. They're still gonna try to attack down the field. Brady's getting pressure in his face from that blitz. The routes haven't even declared themselves yet. So he's gonna have to throw this ball kind of blindly. And you'll see the pressure's hitting home. There's a defender in his face. Brady actually throws a great ball here. Godwin gives it a tremendous effort to try to bring this thing in, but it's just not there. And they're making things more difficult on themselves than they have to be right now. And I look to offensive coordinator Byron Lefwich here and I looked at Tom Brady as well. We know he loves to make checks at the line of scrimmage. And that's usually what sets him apart from other quarterbacks. He's not doing it right now the way that he usually does. What do you think is behind that?  And that's sort of what sets him apart from a lot of these other quarterbacks. So what we're seeing out there is very un-Brady, like great breakdown by you. And the numbers support what you're saying. The Bucks are 76% pass over this five game slump that they're in. And I keep saying annoyingly, like run the ball, run the ball. Is it that simple? I think there are a number of factors here. I think they get frustrated in these games. They've fallen behind early in a few of them and they're just trying to force it. They're pressing the issue where they really don't have to. I think they have to stay a little bit more patient. I think they have to take the run when it's there. When you get those light boxes, like we saw Carolina give them on that first play, you absolutely have to run the ball.  I feel like it's almost the trap of having such great talent at wide receiver that they're just trying to rip off all these big plays play after play. But we saw Godwin, when this offense was really rolling with Brady, Godwin's been that slot receiver, that guy to operate in the short to intermediate passing game and make plays there. So I think they have to get back to that, get back to the fundamentals that made this offense successful with Tom in years past. How does that, what does that mean for tonight's game? Going up against this Ravens defense. Well, we know the Ravens love to be aggressive. They're going to bring a lot of pressure. And I think that Tom's going to have to get the ball out of his hands a little bit quicker. They have to get some of those shorter route concepts developed, because we also know the Ravens secondary has had some issues. So if you get some of those short completions, they can break big plays. And I do want to credit Carolina's defense too last week. They were phenomenal. I know you love them in all the young town that they've acquired. So we saw that kind of come together. So credit to Carolina's defense, but there's obviously something broken there in Tampa. And hopefully tonight's the night for Buccaneers fans that they can get this thing turned around. Quickly, do you think they can turn it around? Do you have faith? I do. There's so much talent there still. I mean, when you have guys like Evans and Godwin and Julio might even be back tonight, he's questionable. There's just so much to work with there that you've got to think they can turn this thing around at some point. Tom just has to take a step back, breathe, not let the frustration set in and take what's there. It's crazy that we're saying that too and about Tom Brady. And we have Jordan Speets coming up on the show. So he has a relationship with Tom or at least they've spent some time together. So curious his thoughts on him from just a man off the field, motivational situation or perspective. I asked you if you have faith in the Buccaneers, you do. Do you have faith in my driving skills? None whatsoever. If you're just turning into the show for the first time, I can't drive on a golf course and I can't drive with the driver and I can't drive with anything. It's not good. So here's what happened yesterday. I got a ticket. Is there like a dress on this? I don't know. I don't have information out there. But I've had this car. I've had this car for 60 miles, 61 miles to be exact. And I somehow wind up with a ticket on my vehicle yesterday. And I'm gonna read you what the infraction is, Hamilton. It is vehicle parked over into bike path safety hazard. Outside of my house in California, no signs, no anything. I sent, don't put a picture up, but I sent you guys the picture of what this looks like. Can I just, can I give you a guess at what the actual amount is that I own out of the city of Los Angeles? I'd say like $50. $93. What? Ask me if I moved my car when I saw this. Nope, still sitting out there. So I might have another, I might have a whopper here. And I bet, you know what?  You're gonna have a boot on the car when you get back home. I saw that picture. It doesn't even look like there's a, it doesn't even look like there's a bike lane visible there. I think, I think California. Do you not have it, do you have a driveway? I don't know, I don't know anything. All right, Hammer, you're the best. Hammer Time, incredible breakdown on Tom Brady and company. Up next, hello to PGA, PGA Tour champion, Jordan Speed, hey! Joining us next, we'll talk a little Cowboys, a little Texas, it'll be great. Is that a Dan Bailey jersey? I love that, that is incredible. That Eric Decker too, Mr. 87. I know who that guy is on the right because he's joining us right now. A 13 time winner on the PGA Tour, a Dan Bailey super fan, apparently. A three time major champ and just helped the United States woo, woo, woo, win the President's Cup, take that world, born and raised in Texas, Texas, Longhorn and Dallas Cowboys fan and fan dual family, Jordan Speed, how are you? I'm doing great, how are y'all? I'm great, I love this, the Dan Bailey love. You don't see that every day, I was into that. Yeah, that was years ago, obviously back when he was on the Cowboys, making a lot of clutch kicks for us, but yeah, it was fun to do a coin flip out there and then a fell game. I didn't even have to do anything and it was nerve-wracking. Yeah, that sounds terrifying, but let's talk about you, Jordan. Let's talk about this President's Cup, five and no, last month, just the fourth American to ever do that. Congratulations, how are you feeling right now? Yeah, good, it was fun. I mean, for us in golf, you know, we're just an individual sport to get to represent your country once a year in those team events is really an honor.   And like I said, it's kind of a once a year thing for us and it was a blast. I feel like you're about to set the world on fire. Do you think I'm right? I just have this feeling. I feel good, you know, I've been working on some stuff pretty hard and at this point now, I just need some rounds. So once we get started in the new year, I'll be playing a lot from January to August and would love to get in a nice rhythm as we head into the major season. I've never watched golf live. I'm gonna have to track you down and see one of these things because we're a fan-to-well family now where like brother and sister, I need to go check that out and get into it. But you are, you know, one of the best golfers in the world. And as that guy, you've played with a lot of athletes from different sports. Who have you played with or watched play that sort of surprised you and maybe thought was better than expected? Well, I think there's two guys I've played with that are the two best athletes from other sports, Tony Romo and Steph Curry. But I think that's probably pretty well known. A lot of the pitchers, starting pitchers are, you know, they play golf all the time and they're really good. They're a lot better than position players in baseball, but football guys, Tony is really the only guy I've played with that's a really good player. And so it just kind of depends, it really depends on how often they play, right? I mean, it's just a sport where you just have to, you have to get reps in just like anything else. I just thought, Tony, like thought he is good and everybody says it, but maybe that he wasn't as good. But he's legit. No, he thinks he's good too, and he is good, but he certainly knows it as well. I love that you're from Texas. We talk a lot of Cowboys on the show, of course. That's your team of record and Dak made his return last week. He was back. He led Dallas to a win over the Lions. What did you think of his performance and about your Cowboys this year? Well, I think the defense has really stepped up. It's been incredible to watch. Michael Parsons is just unbelievable. Possibly an MVP candidate, even on the defensive side of the ball. So I mean, with that kind of defense, it gives the Cowboys some time to maybe make a couple of mistakes here or there. Dak be hurt for some weeks and be able to still get some wins. So ideally the offense kicks it into gear. We had a lot of short fields and we're not used to that as Cowboy fans. So it's pretty exciting. Be honest, were you a Cooper Rush guy when he was out there winning? Of course. Whoever's leading our team, I'm high on. Cooper Clutch, right? He did an unbelievable job. It's great to know that he's there if we need him. And obviously everybody in Cowboy Nations rooting for Dak to come play at an extremely high level and lead us to try in. I mean, honestly, the NFC East, it's the first year the NFC East has been talked about as one of the better divisions in football. You know, with the Giants and the Eagles on the field, the Giants obviously at what five or six and one now. And I don't think many were expecting that. So we got to try and win the divisions versus the foremost. It's so true, those Eagles undefeated. You got those Giants at six and one with their new head coach. So it's, it's spicy in the NFC East, which I like to see. And I think Dak can rise to vacation and get it done. Now you're also a huge Texas fan, former Longhorn quarterback, Sam Ellinger. And name I, you know, me and Darius Butler, former Colts great. We're like Ellinger, Ellinger. We want to treat him respectfully for the rest of the season because he met, you know, Matt Ryan and MVP, Sia Ellinger, you're the guy. What do we need to know? Give me like the scouting report on him and what he meant to that Texas squad. Well, he was, he was your iron man. I mean, he was the guy who was putting his head down and kind of almost a Josh Allen of college football where it's like, he probably shouldn't have done that as a quarterback. You know, maybe he slides the dive head first, but he dives head first and he gives it his all actually ran into him at the Texas OU game. And so it's pretty exciting to see that now he's back in the starting lineup there.  And that's what you want to see in your leader. I love that. Now it's no secret, you know, another guy, you didn't mention when you said to the two athletes, you said Steph Curry and Tony Romo, you left out Tom Brady. I imagine you've played golf with him though, right? I have played with Tom. He's a good player too. He's kind of starting to play a lot more. I haven't played with him in a few years though. Okay, but he's not one of the best, which makes me happy that he's batted, not as great at something as anyone. That just makes me sort of happy that he's actually potentially a human and not an alien. No, I actually played Augusta national with him and it came down to the last hole and I happened to make a birdie and I don't think he talked to me for like an hour after that.  And obviously that's gotten him to the level that he's at, but that's kind of a story that can always take with me. It was one of the cooler golf stories I've ever had.  You know, he's, it was interesting because, you know, with the Tom Brady method and how he kind of kicked into that kind of gear when he was my age and taking a full blown look at his training and recovery, what he puts in his body, you know, kind of his whole routine. And he was kind of telling me, hey, I wish I did this when I was 23 or four. I started it when I was 28 or nine and it's led me to be able to, you know, feel as good as I feel at 40 or whatever. And I've kind of taken a little bit of that since playing with him, you know, here and there. I would say I don't quite dive as in as he does because I don't necessarily have to in golf versus football, but I do, it is really interesting how dedicated to his craft he is at being, you know, the best he can, just the best he can get out of himself. And that makes him happy, right? You want to do what makes you happy. And for me, I take pride in I'm happy when I'm at the best of what I love to do as well. So a lot of, a lot of good stuff, a lot of great conversations hanging with just him and those other guys I've mentioned. Yeah. How do you think he ends his career? Well, I think this year is an interesting one right now. Isn't it? They got a lot of guys injured and he's backs against the wall. You know, I think it doesn't really, I mean, his legacy is pretty set in stone. Isn't it? I mean, I know anything other than a Super Bowl win seems like failure to him, which is pretty incredible if that's what you're measuring yourself against. But I'm not sure that it's possible this year just given kind of where they're at. But I mean, we've seen crazier things happen. And if anybody can turn a team around and put it on their back, it's going to be him or Rogers. And they both got a tough road ahead for this season, but I don't think his legacy is impacted whatsoever by this year. I mean, it was set five years ago, wasn't it? And he just keeps adding to it. 100%. But I think, you know, as a fan of him, I would like to see him walk away on topic.  I don't like the wizard saga. I erased that from my memory and it didn't affect his legacy at all. But I do want to see him, I wanted it to end how he wants it to end, you know? So if this isn't the year, but I really want to see him back next year, he takes care of his body and all of that. But at a certain point, I mean, he's obviously got to work on his golf game, Jordan. So like he needs to focus on priorities.   Like, you know, you almost wanted to see it with Serena this year, but then, you know, it didn't quite happen there at the US Open.  I mean, it's just, Tiger is really probably the closest that I can think about in recent memory that, and he's still trying to come back and play, but from what he did in winning the Masters in 19 with that full comeback, it was, he's probably the closest of the goats that have been able to retire on top. Well, you're so young. And yeah, I've talked to Aaron Rodgers about this. Aaron Rodgers being younger than Brady, but also, you know, he really looked at how all those guys' careers ended. Brett Farve, of course.  And Aaron Rodgers talks about it a lot.  Do you think about how you would want it to end or do you think about that part of your career? I would say, you know, golf's interesting, right? Because you have the opportunity to even play competitively until you're in your mid 50s. So it's, it feels so far away that I don't really. But at the same time, you started to think about how you want to kind of schedule how, what your schedule is gonna look like 10 years from now, I guess. And so that's not really fully like retirement as my, and again, you know, you had a tiger win, the masters at 40, whatever Phil won the PGA at 50 or 51. So that's the pinnacle of our sport is major championships and guys are able to win them in their 40s and 50s and to be honest, I think that there's more opportunity going forward with the better technology, more athletes playing golf. I just think the game's getting younger, which means it'll be more and more competitive. Even when I'm 45, 50 years old, it means that I could still have weeks where I feel I'm at my prime more often than I think guys in the past did. So I just, you know, as long as just continuing to love the game is what's gonna be sustainable for me. That's, that's what's gonna, I mean, continuing to find love in it, playing a lot, you know, if I'm still loving the grind at 45, 50, who's to say that you can't still play some of your best golf? It's, that's what's beautiful about our sport. It's a beautiful mindset. And I note to my nephews and future children to put them in golf lessons early, playing at 50 sounds great. Okay, we're talking about Tom Brady. So we have you here and you are a huge sports fan outside of the golf world. Let's merge the two together and rate NFL swings. We're gonna start here. Jordan's beat on the show. We'll start with Tom Brady. This is, what do you make of this? He's got really good action. I mean, the guy is just technically sound in just about everything he does. It's really good. He's, you know, I give it a A minus. An A minus, okay. An A minus for Tom Brady. We move on to, this is a New York Jets wide receiver. He's a rookie. It's Garrett Wilson. Have you seen this? This is top golf. I haven't seen this yet. But I don't like to start. Oh. Oh. That's just, that's a lot of arm speed. I think it was so much like upper body strength that he just couldn't possibly hold on. Have you ever lost a club? I've thrown a club, but purposely not on accident. Garrett Wilson. That one. That's, yeah. Tell me. That's dangerous. Oh yeah, that doesn't, yeah. That is dangerous. Unless you're doing it on purpose. He's a liability. All right. Reckless rookie wide receiver for the Jets. All right, let's move on to Longhorn legend, Matthew McConaughey. Rate this swing. Oh, it was smooth. The takeaway was really, I mean, you can't expect anything else from Matthew McConaughey. Look at that shot. Have you ever seen him swing before? You've never seen him? No, I've never seen him swing before. That was incredibly smooth going back. He got a little kind of out of sync, but clearly matched it up. That's a B. How about that follow through? That was the thing. It kind of got a little like, I could see how he could, he kind of wanted to hit it so hard that he outspent himself there a little bit, but I mean, that's a solid golf swing. Okay, how about- I wouldn't call him a professional athlete though, but- Love it. All right, you're being too nice, I think. Let's go to our fan-dual buddy, Pat McAfee. Big Pat McAfee show here on Up and Adams. First of all, are you okay with shorts? Oh yeah, I wear shorts every day at home. That was good action. The thing is, I don't recognize him a lot with any sleeves on. That's what's different. And I also don't want to go at Pat because he's got about as much ammo as anybody and I don't want him coming back at me here. Don't be scared of Pat, what? I can't compete with Pat in that regard. That's his job. This is good too. I mean, I think punters should have good golf swings. They have no excuse not to have good golf swings. I mean, they work on their lower body. This is solid, this is... You're being too nice. You can't be afraid of him. That's not... That's an eight minus two. You're showing me good ones. He wrote not great. Look at this, this is from his Instagram story. He wrote not great. He's asking for you to rate his swing. The ball might have gone in the water, but I think the swing can produce some good shots. Yeah, I like it. Actually, that looks like he's looking rough. Like he made a snap. We can't play rate that you're swing without another fan-dual family member, Charles Barkley. Because I hear, we're on the street. Is this the old one? So this is the old one, right? This is the old swing, the old, you know, this is an F, right? Yeah, yeah. I think it's gotten better. Yes. Also, here's another guy that you do not want to get on his wrong side, because he would destroy me if he wanted to. You're very measure, like you're very intelligent in that way. But here's the new one. Obviously. That's an F. That's a new one. It's still not good, but it's still not good, but it's better. Hold on, I want to see that again. That is unbelievably over the top. How is it different? That is so steep. Well, it's, he doesn't stop on the way down. That's the nice part. There's no hitch on the way down. So at least like swings fluidly, which means he can hit it more than 10 yards, but that's, his swing is not pretty, but as an athlete, he'll still find a way to get it in the hole. You gave him an F on the new swing. It's the best thing I've ever heard.  Yeah, he's so serious over it. Oh, look at this. We're slowing it down. Just peak male performance right there. I mean, that is, oh. That is so good. He's wearing his 11s out there. It makes me laugh so much. Of course, he's wearing his Jordans. Yeah. Do you see last night, he, or no, it's two nights ago, the Mavs were at the Pelicans game and he caught an Aaron Pass and Fubro. He's a top male specimen athlete, according to you. A plus, A plus golf swing. That is male peak performance. He told me that you were in these saints, he was very excited you were coming on the show and I'm sure he's watching or he'll see this clip. And he told me how you were in the saints draft and I think at 2017 with your caddy and your caddy was like running sprints or they like timed him in the 100, what happened? That's right. Yeah, he pulled the hammy about halfway back but he was doing 100 yards and then 100 yards back and we're timing him. But what's more interesting about that story is that we're in the draft room and he told us Patrick Mahomes is the steal of this draft and then Andy Reed moved up and they took him, the chiefs traded up to take Mahomes and then the rest is history there. The rest is history there. He called it ahead of time though. I mean, he called it ahead of time because there's only a couple of guys who may know that this is the steal of the draft and sure enough, it was pretty cool. What a cool experience to be in a war room there. What is he like in there, just a maniac? I can't imagine. Well, no, they got however many scouts and GM and obviously he's very involved but no, he wasn't a maniac in there by any means but it was just cool. They took Latimore I think in that first kick and obviously he's been a really good player as well. And Drew Brees was there, right? Drew Brees was there, he had a couple of his teammates with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Drew was there and he was like, well, I mean, I don't know, we may end up drafting Patrick Mahomes here if it gets to it. We gotta tell Drew that and I mean, I don't think it would have been a whole lot different. I mean, Mahomes is gonna be one of the greatest regardless but we might not have known that for another year or two if he was behind Drew. Yeah, Champagne's always hanging out at Gaza Ranch. He's always talking about, talking up his mean golf game out there, bougie-magouge over there but question, would you, where would you put him in the NFL as a coach? I think he's up close to the top of the list. I think he's, I think he's a great coach. Now where would you put him? Where would you put him like, pick a city?  I mean, obviously, I'd love to see him as a Cowboys coach, as a Cowboys fan, but if we're rolling, we're rolling but I think he's lived here in Dallas. I don't even know if he still does but yeah, I'd love to see him on the Cowboys but I'd love to see him with any Hall of Fame caliber quarterback just because of what he can do with offensive winning. Jordan Spieth says, Sean Payton to Dallas. I can see it now. I'm kidding, you're amazing. Jordan, thank you so much for stopping by the show. I know you're so busy and your schedule's about to get crazy, so good luck with everything. I have a good feeling about this, go kill it. All right, appreciate it. Thanks Jordan Spieth on the program. He is a fan dual partner.  Hey, I wanted to show him your golf swing. Let's do it.

We churning it up, hey, we're fighting the time, you It's never been up, I ain't done with a shot I'm all of a zone, I'm all of control, I'm all of control I'm whipping the sauce, I'm out of the cops I'm being at home, churning it up, churning it up No stranger to greatness, no stranger to avocado sandwiches no stranger to this show, one of the best safeties to ever do it and the perfect person to talk about this matchup tonight to kick off week eight, Eric Weddle. What's going on, man? You sure know how to make an old guy feel good. I appreciate that.  Big game tonight, Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson. So let's get into it and let's start with the buck side. You never played with Tom Brady, you played against him so let's start there. Doesn't quite look right, they've lost too straight. What needs to happen tonight for this offense? Well, man, it seems like there's a number of factors and just some disconnect on some level within that team. Now I don't know if it's the change of coaching, I don't know if it's within the players and coaches, I don't know if it's players or players, but there's obviously some going on where they're not connecting on the field and it's just case in point, the first series of the game last week where Tom throws a beautiful ball to Mike Evans and he just doesn't reel it in for an easy touchdown to give them the lead and that sways the game when you're not playing well as a team. You need those momentum type plays to get you going as a team and they're just not making those types of plays. So it'll be interesting to see how they do tonight. It's not a favorable matchup against the Ravens and it's gonna be tough. What do the Ravens have or what can they do to sort of make sure that they don't start clicking and building momentum because Tom Brady can do that in a second. I mean, they're not running the ball at all on Tampa side at all. Yeah, I mean, you gotta keep them one dimensional and that's outside of week one with the Bucks. They haven't been able to run the ball at all and we're not putting, not saying that Tom can't carry the team and throw the ball all around the field, but they don't have all their weapons out there. The pass pros been stagnant to say the least and he's getting hit a lot, getting sacked a bunch. So on the Raven side, they just gotta limit those big plays and shut down the running game and give different disguises, different movements, different blitz pressures. I think they match up well with the Bucks and if they give them a second and third long situations, I don't foresee how the Bucks can beat them if they're playing that type of game. Who do you have winning this one? Oh, Ravens, Ravens of course. Not just because I love the Ravens, but I think the Ravens are playing better football defensively over the last few weeks and to get that win last week to come up big after the fumble by Hill late in that game. You almost thought it was a groundhog day for them and the fourth quarter letting another one slip away, but they found a way to win and honestly, offensively, I know people are gonna say the struggles a little bit the last couple of weeks with the passing game. At the end of the day, it's about winning and losing and if they need to run the ball and LaMarnese to carry the ball 15, 20 times a game, then that's what's gonna take, then let's do it. No one needs to apologize for winning this league. So I think the quarterback play is better for the Ravens. I think defensively, the Ravens are playing better and I don't know. I just don't know. The Bucks aren't the same Bucks the last couple of years and until otherwise you can't really pick them in a game like this. It's so true and I mean, LaMarn they just, to me, I'm just do not blow a fourth quarter lead. My heart can't take it. I don't wanna deal with it. Seriously. I want you to get paid. Figure it out.  Don't do it. Make it happen. I was front row and center last year in the playoffs that come back 23 or 20. It was like, oh gosh, what are we doing? No, it's terrifying. So I hope they work it out and I hope they have the mentality and I'm sure they do in the locker room because of Harbaugh. There are a couple plays away from being undefeated not blowing three fourth quarter leads. Like look at it that way and you can see like what your future might hold as a Ravens fan. All right. You are the grittiest man I know. So let's hit it. Great list. Last weeks. Last weeks. Still got our top three B-wags, the chub, stiff arm, jute. Go through seven guys for a touchdown and then the Derwent James body slam. So let's look at the new. We got, listen, you know why I put this on here? Why?  And you know what? He said, bump that. The game is on the line. My team needs me. I need to get it every yard. In the first quarter, mind you, this is great to a tee. I love this play. I love his demeanor. I love his all in for a quarterback. This inspires his teammates. Let's go Tua. Let's go. Second play right here. We got the sticks, I wouldn't say line jails, but the guy, the sticks judge, he's been. The chain crew member. Yeah, he's been getting in that spot for probably 70,000 years and the guy just takes a shot right to the chin. What does he do? He gets back up. He doesn't wane. He gets back up and does his job. I mean, talk about grit. I mean, seriously. Oh, I love him. That's amazing. What's that? And we got a great play. Mika Fitzpatrick, one of the best in the entire league. He goes through, this is called like a fault combination. They got a shallow with an angle route behind it. And Mika just goes through that first window and then flashes the second window, puts his shoulder right underneath his chin, displaces the ball. This is teach tape technique. Dislages the ball and grit to a tee. So, welcome. All right. Drum roll, please. This is the newest. We got a new, a new comeer to the list. Tua scramble and tries to truck a defender. With everything that's gone on the last couple of weeks, I'm so happy he's out on the field playing the way he plays, but also leaving it all out there. We understand what this game is. Yeah. And to go for those extra yards with all that he's gone through is just inspiring as an old guy. And I would love to play with him and to try to win games for him. Are you having some sort of existential, I'm an old guy crisis? That's what I'm picking up here. What's going on with you? Well, I am, I am an old guy compared to the young bucks playing in the league. So, I mean, I haven't hit my prime in the real world, but when we're talking football, I am an old guy. So it's, it's all good. I'm not, I'm not prideful one bit. It is what it is. That's the second time you said buck in this segment. And I definitely thought you said the other word. And I was like, oh, my reaction was like, I said that for it. Really? Well, if you, if you're gritty like Wettel and that's nothing's grittier than that, let us know if you see something this week to sort of a, I need that protester off the list. Can something bump that off tonight, please Raven? It's just a, I mean, we need to, we may have to show relive that experience that Wagner gave to everybody to remind people why that is so gritty to me.  You loved it. Eric Wettel, you're the absolute best. We will talk to you next week. Good luck making chocolate banana sandwiches. Metella all the way. We'll talk to you in a bit. We've got Jamal Williams on the show. Oh man, love him, big NFC North love. And he's not what you think. I think when a lot of people hear the name Jamal Williams running back, when we're running back, of course with Aaron Jones, having a lot of fun there in Green Bay and then now with the Lions, emotional, passionate, always dancing, always fun. And it's always one of my favorite things to interview and sit down with players and get to show you a different side of them when they reveal themselves in a different way. And I had just had the best conversation with him. And yes, we talked about roller skating. We talked about anime and we laughed and had a lot of fun. But I do think you'll see a bit of a different side that will injure you even more to the, what did we call him? The introverted empath king. Huh? Hello there. Wait, how have you been though? Talk to me. I'm cool. Just been chilling, honestly. Just living life doing the best I can. How are you feeling about the season? I'm feeling optimistic. We're working so hard to get to, you know, just becoming a great team. So we just got to keep pushing. We right there and we know we're there. So. Who do you vibe with there? Cause I know who your best friend was in that Green Bay Packers locker room.  Honestly, it's like a mixture of everybody. I feel like my boy, Leaf, is so funny. Nate and Bruce, we be playing Smash Brothers together. We got a ping pong table. I would say Tim, Tim Boyle's the best. And honestly, Craig and DeAndre, they be, they be going against each other but they honestly gotten better. So. Dan Campbell, is Dan Campbell playing ping pong with y'all? Nah, he ain't playing ping pong. He trying to get us ready. Dang, my boy. He got a lot on his plate. I know he cared too much about us getting things on the right track for us to be, you know, not focused. So. Well, we saw on Hard Knocks, like you and him have a special relationship. So what's in the sauce there? What's in the sauce? For me, it's just, how can I put it? People think I'm a social person. I'm really not social. So it's like, it's real. Like I don't connect with everybody, you know, the same.  And DC has never faulted. He always stood tall, kept his head high. And it was been a great example of showing what a great man can do being a positive person, trying to bring people and uplift people when there's adversity. Now you were with the Packers for a long time, four years there. This is your second year at the Lions. What's the biggest difference between playing for those two teams? Um, the biggest difference I think is just really just team chemistry and just trying to get, just trying to get everybody on the same page as and being able to just trust each other a little bit more. And I feel like we really have all of it, but it's more of just, we have to just do it in the game. What is it like when you face Aaron Jones now? Uh, honestly, I just, I think we just be going out there just to compete now. But this is a fun compete though, you know? Now we get like, get after each other, see? I'm gonna score more than you or I'm gonna get 100% in this, you know what I mean? Like, but I just like it just because it's a positive, a positive type of competition that's just gonna make us both better. And I just love seeing my brother do good just because he always inspires me. Like he's an inspiration, you know? And I just be learning from just people who I know have experienced a lot.  That's what inspires me too, so.  You're telling me that's a false premise. That's not true. I'm social in certain parts of this. Like most of the time I talk to my friends from back home on like my Xbox, you know what I mean? Like, and sometimes I'm not even playing the game. It's just mostly just to be able to talk to them. But yeah, I'm not a, if I can stay inside, I stay inside if I could. Stay inside. Are you an introvert, Jamal? Yeah, the only thing, only like if I go out, I do things that are, I can do by myself. Like I can go skating. I can go to the golf range, you know what I mean? Like little quiet things to do. What kind of skate, like skateboard? Roller skate. You roller skate around where? Well, back home. Back home. BYU, I used to go to the class of skating. I kept myself occupied by going skating every weekend. And I was good, honestly. I was going to weekend, but now I go, when I'm back home in the off scene, I go like three times a week. What does that do for you? I've never heard this about you. What does that do for you? Uh. It was cause it put, cause like I just put my headphones in and I just, I feel like it's just another way of soothing, relaxing. It's a peaceful vibe. You're like, I just like to do things that just calm me. Cause I already got a lot of stress in my life already. I got a lot of, a lot of things that's already on my mind that I deal with on a daily basis.  I just want to make sure that I'm just making myself proud and not, not to have that regret of, I'm not doing everything I can to be the best me.  I just be having fun and just, just be in my zone. That's just how I'd be happy. I'd be, I'd be looking at people all the way at the top and they don't be thinking I'd be looking at them. And I see somebody with a 30 jersey on and I just point up there and, yeah, the only reason they know is me because they know I'm, I'd be dancing already. But I see them and I can point at them, hit them with, they hit me with a heart sign and I hit them on the back. And it just be, you know, it's just like a good connection and just feeling good. Jamal Williams, can he take it to the house? Yes he can, touchdown Lyons. What attracts you to anime so much? I don't know what you're wearing. You're clearly wearing, I believe, I hope I'm not wrong. An anime sweatshirt. So what, I don't, I know very little about it. Do you have your own character? My producer, if you're talking and saying, ask him if he's the sand demon. Tell me what I need to know. Okay. Well, all right. Well this right here, this is from a show called Demon Slayer. Her name is Nezuko. Nezuko. So, yeah. So if you ever want to watch anime, I feel like you will like, you will like Demon Slayer. You will like Demon Slayer. Why?  That's true. When you're ready, I just need you to watch one anime. But when you're ready, after you watch one and then you be like, Jamal, do you have any more recommendations? I would, I would already have them ready because I feel like you, like all the suspenseful ones, I like mostly the villain because they be having a lot of resolve. And they be having real reasons on why they be villain. That's why. And if I was in the anime, I'd be a villain. Just because it looks fun. And what would I be? What would I be if I was in the anime? You most definitely be the hero because you will be trying to save everybody and, you know, taking the heat for everybody. No, I don't want to be the villain. You can't be the, you can't be the villain right now. Yes I can. What? I'm going to watch one. There's a romance storyline. I didn't even know that was a thing. Is it just entertainment for you or does it actually inspire you in a way? Oh, it's inspiration. Naruto is one of the most nice, generous people in the show. And he basically inspires a whole bunch of people who were, they started off as villains and then ended up, ended up being heroes. Yeah. Ended up, you know, fighting for them and stuff like that. Well, I don't like that you're saying all these things about the villains being so good at characters. I can't be the villain. No, not yet. The villain this week is the Dolphins. What are you focused on as being this game? I focus on getting big. That's all. I just want to be more explosive than I've ever been. So, and I just got to, I just got to thank you. I just got to believe in myself and be the Kazakage I know I am. I get late. What is this? What are you talking about? Look, you get me excited already. I got a couple of days before this game. You already got to be thinking of me. Oh, Lord.  You are so much going on. You listen to everyone and you're inspired by so many different things. And I just think I was, this was a really special conversation. So thank you. And I just want to be the villain. Don't try to make me, don't put me in a woman box. I want to be that one. You already, you already got the jacket on for it.  I look chic. I don't know why you're talking about it. You look like you're supposed to be snapping it. With jacket hands. Oh, please. You know how the Super Saiyan charge up? No. So you never, so you never looked in the mirror and go, ah, you never go out? No. Oh my God. You never watch Dragon Ball Z? I've heard of, it's like this. It's like the Street Fighter. No. I'm a bad guy. Why? It's whatever you and Ken went, I did a little good. And then it would shoot you out with Dragon Ball Z. It's not the same. Tell me what to do. I go in my mirror. So in the morning, you know how you got to get yourself motivated? Yes. Okay. This is what I know my neighbors hate me, but this is what I do. I literally wake up and I go in the mirror and I just, yeah, like I'm powering up the Super Saiyan 4 for at least like 10 seconds. Like show me. Can you show, I'll do it with you, but you got to, how loud? Like, oh, you got to get in, like, ah. Like you got to, yeah, yeah. Oh, I love you. Good luck again. Exactly. It's fine. I love him. Jamal Williams. You saw both sides of him. He's a wonderful player, wishing and plotting of luck in his career. Marissa McBride killed it on the edit of that one out and bring things to Brian. We killed it on Jordan's Speed. What a fun show. We'll be back tomorrow.


Today I'm sharing a recipe for Loft House sugar cookie bars. I love sugar cookies and this is one of my favorite recipes. So let me show you what you're going to need. For the bar cookie portion you are going to need flour, sugar, vanilla, softened butter, an egg, baking powder and baking soda, cream cheese and then you're going to need some decorations but the sprinkles are absolutely optional and then for the yummy cream cheese icing you're going to need butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. So let's get started. Okay so the first thing that we're going to do is mix together our softened cream cheese and our softened butter and this by the way is unsalted butter and I will make sure as always to leave the recipe in the description box for you all. So let's just mix this up really quickly and now I'm just going to add in my sugar and mix that up and now I'm going to add in my vanilla and my egg and by the way my egg is also at room temperature and just going to give it a good stir or mix I should say. Now I'm going to add in my baking powder and baking soda and my flour and you're just going to make sure that everything is well combined. Okay so I have a 9 by 13 pan here that I have lined with non-stick foil. You could use parchment paper too but I am using non-stick that's just my preference and then I have greased it with a little bit of butter. I've got my oven preheated to 350 degrees so now all I'm going to do is transfer the cookie dough into the pan and spread it out. Now this is going to be really sticky because of that cream cheese but just do the best that you can. Okay I've got my cookie dough all spread out as you can see just do the best that you can it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm going to pop this in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until it is cooked through. Okay so I just took the cookies out of the oven and I ended up baking them for 27 minutes and let me show you the edges here you can see they're nice and golden brown and that is what you are looking for. So I am going to let these cool completely before I can ice them. Okay so my cookies are completely full now it's time to make the cream cheese icing. So in my bowl I have 8 ounces of softened cream cheese a half a stick of unsalted butter and I am just going to cream this together and now I'm going to add in my vanilla mix that together again and I'm going to add in my powdered sugar just a little bit at a time and at this point if you want your icing a little bit looser you can add just a little bit of heavy whipping cream and that's it for cream cheese icing. So now I'm just going to spread this on my bar cookies. Alright so I lifted my cookies out of the pan and I have it laid out here and now all I'm going to do is ice the cookies so I'm just going to dollop the frosting kind of all over it and then just spread it out. Okay I've got my icing on and I've got quite a bit left in the bowl that I'll find another use for and so now I'm simply just sprinkling my candy my decorations on top of the bars. Okay so I am just going to let this set for I don't know about 15-20 minutes or so and then I am going to cut the bar so you guys can see what the inside looks like. Okay so here are the cookie bars and they are so simple to make so delicious a very tender delicate cookie so they're not crunchy they are soft like a loft house cookie they kind of remind me more of a cake than a cookie so let me show you one close up and they're probably about maybe an inch thick so if you want it thinner then of course you could use a larger pan if you want a thinner cookie but I hope you all enjoyed this video and this recipe if you did it would really help us out if you gave us a thumbs up and if you have not subscribed to our channel we'd certainly love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.
