JJ Watt on Texans-Colts, calling T.J.’s big sack & Thanksgiving 🏈 | The Pat McAfee Show

A man who’s in a bull ring of honor for the Houston Texans this weekend. He’s calling the Houston Texans vers the Indianapolis Colts feels like there’s going to be some biased journalism taking place. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, future First Ballot Hall of Famer, CBS broadcaster JJ Watt. Wow. We just talked about it. We just talked about it. Tarp it off. Tarp it off. Come on. I’m not going to do it. Pop that thing. Pop that top, big dog. Not going to do it. I got I got the uh I got the ears thing. The whole thing. Yeah. I just I got her in a bad spot. I can’t do it. Especially with W. That’s fine. That’s fine. Especially with See, I let your So, it’s a predetermined thing on game day every week because you got to get the ears off. You got to get the wires off. No, it’s wired underneath. Good beard. Everything’s under wired underneath. Never on my show do I wire underneath because I don’t need to be shirtless in a thunder, you know? I didn’t do that. Everything in game day wired underneath though. Hey, you look you look pretty good, dude. You look super jacked. Where are you? Just kind of hanging out at the house. I’m uh I’m My son wanted to uh go to the beach this morning. I said, “I got the show at 10.” He said, “I want to go to the beach.” And he just started screaming. So, we went to the beach. I tried to do the show from the beach. And uh Foxy said, “This ain’t going to work, pal. You got no reception.” I said, “That makes sense.” So, I ran back to the Casa and uh there’s better Wi-Fi here, but I am now sufficiently out of breath. Yeah. And also very away from your kid. Is your kid okay on the beach or what? I hope so. Who knows? Not me. Go on, Cola. Go on, boy. Go on, J. Thanks for making this happen. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy beach day to you and your boy. Traps look good, bro. You look really good. You’re kind of glistening right now, too. Kind of glowing from the run. You should feel good about where you’re at. Beard looks phenomenal as well. Really, all things going good for you right now in your face and upper shoulder area. Thanks. Yeah, I realized there’s no by-weeks in broadcasting. That was a slight shock. So, no by-weeks, 18 road games in a row. Had to find a way to hit a beach somewhere in there. And this is it. Hey, smart. Good for the family. Good for the mind. Let’s talk about what you have this weekend. Now, you better enjoy that beach now, brother, because it’s going to be hostile in the house for the Houston Texans. What is your film study saying about what the environment’s about to be like in Lucas Oil Stadium, officially known as the Loud House, Mr. JJ? What? You know, I love myself some Lucas Oil. I’m looking forward to this game. It’s a massive, massive, massive matchup in the AFC South. And I also have the Colts Jaguars next weekend. So, you’re getting me back to back here. Uh, very excited. Obviously, you’ve had a couple Colts games already this year. Know a lot about them. Looking forward to seeing them. Number one offense versus number one defense. This is going to be immovable force verse unstoppable unstoppable force versus immovable object. There we go. I got it. We’ll get there. Keep it rolling. Um really looking forward to this game. My biggest question for you, are the fireplaces going to be on the screens pregame? When does that start? What fireplaces are you talking about? Why are you bringing up fireplaces? No, it’s a loud house. It’s not a fireplace. We’re not sitting with a book by fire. I loved it. That’s one of my favorite parts of going to Indie was the fireplaces on the scoreboards pregame. I just want to know if it’s going to be there or not. Do you feel that way yourself or is that a a Houston Texans thing? You guys like the fireplace? I person I don’t even know if anybody else ever knows about it. I know about it. I loved it. It was always nice and festive. I’m just curious, is it only like Christmas week or is it November, December? Listen, we’ll do it for you because we would like you to feel welcomed and we would like you to feel comfortable at the Loud House. Okay? Because we understand that you have night terrors about what that stadium was like for you whenever you were in your playing days. And we understand that you can’t even prepare this Houston Texans team for how loud that place is about to be this weekend. So, we would love to put that up there to make you feel comfortable up there in the booth if that makes you feel better. Will you be will you be in attendance? The lighthouse. I mean, I have no clue. You have an unbelievable schedule. You fly everywhere. You’re also a great family man. You have 16 different jobs. Number one being father and husband. I just don’t know. I don’t want to put you on the spot and be like, or I I guess I actually put you exactly on the spot and was like, are you going to be in the stadium? Yes. Yes, I will be. And guess what? There might be a surprise appearance by uh a little person, a tiny younger person that has never been to a game either. Yeah. There’s a chance. There’s a chance that this is a first. You’re pulling out all the stops. You This is a big game. We need to win. We need We can’t have a twoame slide and we cannot be losing to the Houston Texans right now. We play the Texans and the Jaguars as you know down the stretch here and everybody’s within a game. So I I mean we had a great start. We’re winning a Super Bowl to do. The boys understand that though. Daniel Jones, if he was to participate in practice, it would have been limited. It’s a walk through. It’s a walkthrough. So ain’t no problems there. you know, his name popped up in a notification from a fantasy football app on uh Tone’s phone and it said something that was very alarming to me. I immediately FaceTime my source in the building and go, “Excuse me, what the hell is happening here?” We don’t give out uh their designation until Friday. It’s a walk through everything. What are we talking about? Thank you. Okay, we need to make sure that’s what we’re talking about this entire time. How do you think the unstoppable force and the immovable object are going to kind of square off? What did you see from the Chiefs game? Have you watched the film of what the Colts did? And do you think the Houston Texans, CJ Strad we assume is going to be a quarterback if he gets out of concussion protocol. Do you think they’ll be able to do the same thing that the Chiefs did to the Colts defense, which was literally just crossers? You got literally that’s all they did the whole time. And you just got sauce chasing the entire time across the entire field. A Ward chasing the entire time across the other way. And it’s like this is what everybody expected from the Chiefs. They have speed. They use it. They got guys that can go underneath. Now they’re going to have a run game too. Uh coming back it’s like they did what we have seen old Chiefs do which is basically run our defense off the field and then they do a four and a half minute drive at the end of the fourth quarter to tie that thing up and then get the ball right back in overtime after three and out. It’s like our defense. Did they get exposed or was it just Kansas City Chiefs are very very good? Like how should I be viewing what happened to us because it got to a point where we could not stop them if they wanted to really go even though we had the lead for most of the game. Yeah. I mean, the end of that game obviously did not go anywhere near the way you guys wanted to go. It’s with the three and outs on offense, which at times your best defense is your offense. It’s keeping the ball time of possession, moving it down the field, getting first down after first down, and just being able to build up those leads, which you’ve done so many times this year. Uh, and then that fourth quarter in overtime was just threeandout city. Uh, and then what I look at is I think back to that Pittsburgh game where the Colts had some struggles in Pittsburgh and that was they stopped the run and then they got after Daniel Jones and had tons of takeaways that game obviously. And then you look at the Chiefs here and something that the Colts have done. There’s there’s a few things on offense. They went with a ton of block up. They did have uh a whole lot of max protection and trying to give Daniel that time but not having as many guys out in the routes. And then you look at the defensive side since S sauce has come over, their man coverage, rightfully so, obviously, has gone way, way, way up. So, some of those crossers where you’re talking about sauce chasing guys across the field and some of these other DBs, that man coverage is kind of what puts you into those situations. And we all know, and I feel like it’s not talked about enough, DeForest Buckner being out is so so massive, man. That guy is unbelievable. I I love watching DeForest play. So, the Texans defense, as everybody in the nation saw on Thursday night against the Bills, is for real. They are very legit. And when you turn on the film and you watch the way they communicate, you watch the way that they fly around, it’s it’s incredible. And so, the Colts offense with Shane Stiken’s mind and their ability to do so many things and Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren and everybody involved verse this defense is a analyst dream. I cannot wait to watch this game and see. I believe the stat is the last five times the number one offense has played the number one defense, the number one offense is 5-0. I believe that. Wow. Yeah, we like that. [Music] Get used to it is what you’re saying. We’ll see. Houston’s Houston’s held eight teams under 20 points this season, most in the NFL. Colts obviously the only team in the NFL to score 20 or more every single game. And I believe again back to the last five times the number one has faced number one. The offense has scored over 20 points each time. So history is certainly on the offensive’s side in this, which would say it’s on the Colts side. Um, this Houston defense is just nasty and mean and flies around. It’s crazy, man. You watch the tape and it looks like they’re in fast forward. So, this is going to be a heavyweight matchup. I’m so excited we’re on the call. You want to do a couple more stats, too? I I think the Colts have only punted like 22 times going into week 13. I think they’ve only had to punt that. And obviously turnovers from a couple different If you were eliminated two games, you know, I think the turnovers are at like next to zero. But on that note, you know, who knows what we are at this stage of the season. You know, Jonathan Taylor for a long time was the MVP conversation. Now CMC is the running back that’s in that conversation. We can obviously flip it around against the number one defense, but it’s going to be tough. It’s not just a run game uh that we have to get going. We’re gonna have to be able to protect Danny Jones just a little bit. And it feels like Houston’s built to kind of dominate. The Houston sack station is certainly becoming a topic of conversation. Go ahead, Auge. Yeah, JJ. I I really like the two tackles in Buffalo and they struggled mightily against those two edge guys. I know you’ve talked about the whole defense as a whole, but having Denil Hunter and Will Anderson and what they’re doing, 21 sacks between the two of them, how important was it to see them with the rush lane integrities and keeping Josh Allen bottled up? Yeah, I do actually talked about this on his radio show this week and it was really interesting. The Bills did go with heavy fiveman protection. They didn’t they didn’t give a ton of extra help and against those guys, you just can’t do it no matter how good your tackles are. And like you said, those are two good tackles. So for those two guys, it’s pretty crazy. They have this thing where it seems like they’ve synced it up before every play where one guy may rush high and the other guy rushes low so that they’re never offkilter, but it’s not how it is. I’ve talked to them both about it and they said it just naturally happens that way. And you watch that game and you see him win with speed, you see him win with power, you see him win with spin moves, you see him win with a rip move. They do it. And then you see Will win with relentless effort. Just 15-second sack. Like they have everything you want in a pass rusher and they also stop the run. It’s it’s pretty cool. And then you flip it over to the Colt side and you have Lu that D line is making plays. It’s I mean this this game is going to be great. It is. And it’s going to be in the lighthouse. Let’s know. We know what that means. I can’t wait to see it. Are you going to get on the mic? I gotta feel it, brother. No, I don’t get on the mic for that. No, no, just playoff basketball. I’m excited to see the booth. I feel like Lucas Oil would have a good booth. That’s something I’m learning this year. Every stadium very different booth setups. I feel like Lucas Oil is going to have a nice setup. It’s all in how old the stadium is. I think from my understanding of the booth setups. You know, the newer stadiums have a little bit nicer booths because I think they think about like, hey, the TV broadcast very important to the entire business here. You know, back in the day, I think it was like, yeah, these pieces of they got to call the game somewhere to put them in there. Basically, some of those booths are bad, right? Some of these places are not good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Biggest biggest thing for me, if you got a bathroom in it, I can’t be running down the hallway at the end of the first quarter if I got to take a piss cuz I drank six coffees before the game. Just think about what media was at that point though, you know, whenever those stadiums were being built. It was like we have to deal with media as opposed to hey our entire business is basically media now. So those like I think the Cowboys whenever they built their stadium they asked Troy to come in and help build it and there’s like double layer there’s a like an apartment I think there’s like a a bathroom in there there’s a spot for and then some of the older stadiums it’s like you walk in there and you’re actually can’t see like down the end of the thing and it’s like this is a multi-billion dollar business right now and this is how we are broadcast. We can’t even see the end zone on this side. It’s like, do you Yeah, you food massive. Also, food Atlanta mini beef Wellingtons in the booth. I mean, I’m sorry. You toss a mini beef Wellington, you’re you might get a favorable discussion on just playing the game. I’m sorry. I’ll tell you that. I don’t like to think that I’m just like spineless and could be won over by small gestures, you know, like that. But every time we go to game day, we go to some school, somebody that is like, “Hey, I’m from the equipment room.” Just brings like a box of stuff. I’m like, “Wow, this place is really nice. This is I love this place. This place is really cool, man.” And then I’ll go to like a restaurant. Sir, we would love for you pick against them. Okay. Yeah. And then all these people are doing this thing. It’s like, “Yeah, I don’t know.” And then I have to sell myself like if I’m picking against the home team with how these people treat me, like it is not I I get treated so kindly by all these people. It is like it’s uncomfortable to be honest. It’s like I’m just going to lock myself in my room here so I don’t have to see anybody because it’s almost uncomfortable how nice everybody’s going to be. But I have to see like they’re really going to have to lose that game in my eyes for me to pick against them, you know? But there’s some places that have an SID or something that I don’t like. It’s like, yep, we’re picking against this place every time. Every time we come here, I am letting these people know that I do not like them. Hey, and the and I’ll get like a message from the coach. coach would be like, “You don’t like our team? Like, what’s the deal?” It’s like, “No, no, no. Actually, this piece of right here, don’t like them. Don’t like them at all. Hate them.” And also, who won the game? Thank you. Let’s keep it moving. But I am trying to get it right, J. But it’s hard whenever these people are so kind. I couldn’t even imagine for you. JJ won. I’m obviously joking about the beef Wellington before anybody writes an article. Obviously, it’s a joke. He’s not joking about that. He’s not joking about that. Also, you’re you’re you’re absolutely right, though. like there are it’s it’s pretty wild the difference in whether it’s SIDS at that level or whether it’s just communications directors or people within the stadium like there is certainly I it’s like with facilities in the NFL where you you got to the NFL and you assumed everything is going to be the best of the best and unbelievable uh and it’s not it’s not always the same. It’s really been a fascinating journey through this whole year and it’s it’s I I really love this job. I thought I was not going to love this. I thought I would not like it. Um, but man, it is so much fun calling these games every week, especially when they turn out like they did last week. You got the Bears Steelers coming down to the end. We had the Jags Colt or the Jags Texans where it was the fourth quarter comeback. Like, this is awesome. Yeah. And you’re doing a great job. I want to let you know that. And I think you as an owner of another team, couple other teams, seeing how other uh operations go from the back end, which is what you’re getting a chance to do. Great learning piece especially with you as a person as a entrepreneur mindset. Yeah, getting a chance to watch how places operate and being a part of it is a very cool thing. And you’re doing a great job, brother. You’re doing a great job. We’re about sick of you calling TJ’s games or Texans games though. Feels like that’s a little bit of a setup. After uh I think after this game it’ll be eight out of 13 is either a Steelers or a Texans game. And like people are like, “Oh wow, what a nice perk. You got them to put you on these games.” This is 100% Yeah. literally based off of market sizes and this is I and Eagle had Steelers and Texans games all last year but it’s it is harder because I literally have to go like it people automatically assume you’ll be biased. So then you try really hard not to be biased which I feel like I’ve done a good job of. It’s you know what the problem is the Steelers aren’t good enough to get the the number one crew at CBS but they aren’t small enough a fan base size to get the number three game. So JJ’s right in that sweet spot right at number two. and his brother just so happens to be a Hall of Famer for them right now who has more sex than he does. Let’s talk about that. Oh, what a bomb. What do you do now? Say, “Hey, Derek, tell me how many sex you got. Is that you just take a shot at somebody else? How’s this kind of uh work?” And I I’m very thankful that you got a chance to be there. The whole thing was sick. And your preposterous line about putting the pads back on. Beautiful reaction. felt like it was in the moment even though you certainly had to have thought about how you would think you would react whenever this would happen. What are your thoughts on it? There has to be a great sense of pride in what your little brother’s doing. It was my reaction in time of of saying if you’re going to do it, that’s one hell of a way to do it was just pure spontaneity and accurate because what a way to do it. A sack. I don’t believe he’s ever directly caused a touchdown with a strip sack before. Um, it was really, really cool to have my brother and his kids there, to have my parents there. Um, I did not think it was going to be that big of a deal. I swear to you, we we never talked about it until the actual g day of the game. We talked about it in our production meeting with my crew and everything, just how are we going to handle this? TJ and I did not talk about it until in the tunnel before the game, like, hey, today might be the day. And uh it turned out to be much cooler and more special than I thought it would. I’ve always said I’ll be unbelievably proud of him whenever it happens. And I believe he’ll shatter every record I have. Uh and I could not be happier for him. He works so hard. He’s done it at such an insanely high level for so long. He deserves it and he’ll break everything I got. Yeah. Well, I I think that’s why you do what you do and you lend the game to your little brother so he’ll take it to the next place. It’s a beautiful story of uh sport and football and brotherhood. I think the way you two have kind of handled it all, especially with how there’s clear admiration from both of you for each other. Which goes back to that is hilarious to kind of take place. What did you say before the game whenever you said, “Hey, this could be the day.” Was there do you guys ever find your you feel like such a hard family, right? Don’t they feel like such a hard family? Was there ever a moment of like, hey, this is really cool that the entire NFL that we kind of grew up watching and idolizing players is kind of looking at what two doofuses from the same family who just so happened to be stronger and work harder than like did you have that moment before the game? Have you ever had that moment? I I can tell you exactly. It’s funny that you bring that up. So, we we I met him in the tunnel before the game just to say, “Hey, you know, cuz I don’t get to see him really uh on these trips.” And I meet him in the tunnel. We were talking about random stuff, not about that. And the last thing I said as I was walking away, I gave him a hug. I said, “I love you.” And then I literally looked back and was like, “Hey, today could be the day.” And he goes, “Could be.” And we we separated. Now, after the game, obviously, everything happens. And um you get photos sent to your phone from the team photographer. Every player gets them sent to their phones. Uh and there was one photo of us pregame in the tunnel talking to each other. And she go, he texted me and he goes, “This is pretty crazy, huh?” And it wasn’t a photo of the sack. It wasn’t a photo of any of our plays on the field. And I just texted him back and I was like, “Think about how wild that is. We’re two brothers in the bowels of an NFL stadium. You’re about to go out there and break something that I did at a very high level and we used to play in the backyard in Pwaukee. Me, you, and Derek, you know, down the punt inside the oneyard line and pretending that we were on the high school football team.” It that was the first time I think where we truly were like, “This is crazy.” being in the bowels of the stadium, not being on the field. Yeah. And having a photo of that moment, knowing that in that conversation, you say, “Hey, today could be the day.” And he just goes, “Could be.” And then goes out there. That’s like fairy tale movie type stuff. Now, we leave the tag game show out of it. You remember when he had that? That was awesome. We keep that one out of the movie, but I I think this is No, Tag T. I This is You’re I swear it’s like you have like a a pre-inter because I Tag has a scene in this weekend. So, at the hotel the night before the game, I have to go to the hotel and interview Mike Tomlin, Aaron Rogers, Mason Rudolph, and Derek goes to the hotel so he can see TJ before the game. Derek’s kids watch tag reruns on their TV because they just love tag and obviously like to see their dad on TV. So in the defensive meeting room at the Steelers hotel when I finish my meeting with Mike Tomlin, I walk in, they’re playing tag with TJ in the meeting room saying they’re the characters on tag. See, you have like a ESP or some It’s crazy. No, I mean maybe there’s a reason I do this job, but there’s like there’s a lot of things that could potentially come together for a perfect fairy tale movie. J, how impressed were you with the Bears on Sunday? I think a lot of people still don’t really want to give them the credit for how good they are. Uh, do you think that this team could ultimately make a pretty deep run in the playoffs? And, uh, how do you think they’re going to fair on Friday against the Eagles? So, the Bears are one of those teams where you say, “We’re never going to apologize for winning.” I mean, 8 and three is eight and three. They’re playing great in a lot of facets of the game. I think there’s two areas currently that can take them even higher. So, first I want to start with the stuff they’re doing. Incredible takeaways on defense. Unbelievable. Insane level. Non Wright’s playing at an incredible level. They were missing three starting linebackers in that game. Over 30% of their tackles on defense. And DeMarco Jackson fills in, takes the green dot, communicates the whole defense, has 15 tackles. But they do give up a lot of yards on that defense. They’re a feast or famine. they either get a takeaway or they’re giving up yards and points. So, they need to get that part figured out. You can’t just live and by die by the takeaway. And then on offense, Ben Johnson extremely impressive. In our meetings with him this year, we’ve had two games, two meetings. He has been not only unbelievably knowledgeable, clearly a schematic genius, but also really personable, clearly has a great pulse on his team, knows how to motivate them, knows how to be funny. like he really is a a good good head coach in the making. You can tell. And then Caleb is playing well to minimize a lot of the risks. He’s making some great throws. The one area that will take him to that next level is there were a good chunk of throws in that game that he would like to have back. They Ben Johnson’s great at scheming up these primary receivers and a few times in that game Caleb wasn’t able to hit him. Now obviously you have three touchdowns, zero interceptions. He played he had plenty of great plays, but there are some out there that he’s going to go look at and be like, I can be be even better. And if he gets on that page with Ben Johnson’s offense, the Bears do have a chance to be scary. Just natural dumb eye of mine. And I was third string quarterback in the NFL. Thank you so much. And uh had the greatest QB guard in the history, Turkey Bulls in the NFL. Just natural eye looking at Caleb. Feels like he’s there’s a lot of movement with ball. feels like as his career goes, I assume during the offseason to get more accurate, that thing will get tightened up and all of a sudden he’ll just become a pinpoint accurate passer because his arm talent is outrageous. He throws liner I mean he throws like 25 yard lasers so he’s strong enough that he’ll be able to tighten it up a little bit but I think he’ll be able to get that thing into laser lock which once again happens to most quarterbacks. Like not everybody’s coming in as a rookie and has pinpoint accuracy. Normally there’s some other trait that they’re great at. Go ahead, J. And this game was really interesting because coming into it, Caleb had the longest time to throw in the NFL. He held the ball for like 3.38 seconds on average every game this year. Didn’t have a single game where his average was under 3 seconds. This game against the Steelers, 2.68 seconds average time to throw. So that means there were guys open for him to hit. And the Steelers, this zone defense, and it’s been talked about a lot this week, but there were just quick throws. And when Caleb throws on time in rhythm, he can put it on him. And the Steelers, it’s kind of been a theme of this year. The ball has gotten out unbelievably quickly against them all year long. They have to find a way to buy that pass rush up front a little bit more time. Okay, so let’s also continue to add with stats and Caleb Williams. I think what I saw to this game a couple different times, there’s one right there. play action, turning his back completely to the defense, turning around, not even a thought and letting it fire, which means pre- snap he knew what the hell he was supposed to do with the ball after he snapped it. So, I think he’s starting to understand defenses, but I think he’s also starting to trust the system of like, hey, I’m allowed to turn my back completely to the defense and turn around and fire it. Here’s Caleb Williams on play action. Some stats from Hembo. In 2024, they did it 18% of the time, 56% under center, 10.4% sack rate, 28.4 QBR. In 2025, they’re doing it 30% of the time. 86% of the time it’s under center. Obviously getting more comfortable with the exchange. 4.1% sack rate. He’s getting it out on time as soon as he turns around. And 77 out of a 100red QBR. So it’s like play action was Jared Goff’s weapon up in Detroit. All the other was just ready to go. Caleb sets like a creative player. Would he be able to buy into the robotic stuff and would he be able to trust turning around completely to the defense knowing that your brother is on the other team? It’s like it feels like he’s buying into all of it. JH, do you get that sense as well? Yes, I agree. I think the one play obviously the TJ Strip sack in the end zone like you got to find a way to get rid of that football. Now, I know his arm was pinned and all that, but you just can’t take that in that situation, but yes, this offense and with his ability because there are times where Ben Johnson has the primary receiver schemed up and they don’t get the coverage they thought they were going to get. So now he looks at one, two, three, they’re not there. And he goes Superman mode. And that’s he is incredible at Superman mode. So finding the balance of when to go into superman mode and when to stay within the parameters of the offense is key. Like Caleb gets me out of some fires sometimes because of what he’s able to do. So the better they get at finding that sympatico balance, the better that they will be. And they they have a chance to be real scary. I mean, if you give them a full off season to really get under each other’s hood and see how they can make this thing hum as best as possible could be special. The Bears might be the problem in the north for some the time, you know, going going forward. There’s a chance that’s the case. Let’s stay they believe in themselves too. Like I mean they get in some of these games and like you you look at the score, you look at the situation and the phrase that they’ve used this isn’t me is same old Bears and they said we’re not going to be the same old Bears. And very very clearly they are not the same old Bears. They believe in themselves. You know what they are? They’re the brand new Bears. Feels like the NFC North’s got a lot of brand new teams. Now there’s one old ass team taking on a potential brand new team to kick off Thanksgiving. Go ahead, Con Man. Yeah, Jay, it’s brand new Lions taking on the Packers at home tomorrow. First game to kick off the Thanksgiving slate. What do you expect out of that type of game? And do you have a good read on Green Bay or Detroit? A lot of people are saying, “Hey, Detroit rag now long in the tooth, but uh Foxy gave a nice little stat. They’re still, you know, second in the league in scoring. And then for Green Bay, everyone kind of expected the offense to kick into gear at some point and we just haven’t really seen it yet. But their defense with Michael Parsons is flying around. Uh, what do you expect to see tomorrow out of these two teams? First of all, I’ve seen a lot of buzz about it, but I haven’t looked in depth. Is this game a half hour later than it normally is? Yes. Yes, we don’t like it. We’ve been loud. Just know that we have been loud. It’s scariest. I just want to say before we sign off, I am very thankful for you guys. I have a lot of fun doing this every week. Your fans are awesome. I really enjoy interacting with them. This is an opportunity every single week for me to come on here and just talk some ball and shoot the with the boys. I thoroughly enjoy it. I’m very thankful for all of you. I’m very thankful for everybody who gives me the opportunity to have a job in sports. Greatest job in the world. I’m unbelievably thankful. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice might change your life. Wow. Wow. 30 seconds we got. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here. Thank you, J, for the compliment. J. I didn’t know how much time left. I did not know how much time I was getting kicked off. That was very kind of it. Also, we found the photo, I believe, that you guys were referring to. So cool that in that moment, you acknowledged that history was about to be made. Thank you so much for joining us every week. We’re thankful for you, Jage. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and for Ball. You’re the man. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. It might change their life. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
