Now you're making your debut as a college football coach. I hope it goes a lot better in the game against Dallas. They crushed us. Earlier on the show, ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Troy Aikman.

Hopefully everybody had a fun, productive, safe three-day weekend. We're here on Disney Plus.

2:04Rich Eisen:We are here on the ESPN app everywhere. And, of course, on ESPN radio, which is presented by Progressive Insurance. 844-204-RICH is the number to dial. I love seeing lit phone lines. It delights. It absolutely positively delights. because honestly I say it all the time and certainly tonight I'm on NFL Network at let me get this right 8 Eastern time for two hours NFL game day morning season kickoff tonight two hours and in that show I don't you know we communicate with fans through the camera this way we can actually talk with you talk to you talk with you just not at that's that's all we thing we ask uh and again 844-204-rich is the number to dial in the program von miller and his let me get this correct 129 and a half career sacks oh that's good he's tied with jim marshall right now 24th all time um and all he's got to do is uh bag russell wilson once and he's tied for 22nd all time with uh how about this koi bacon how about that for a name that we've never First mentioned in the history of the show.

3:16Rich Eisen:Indeed. And if he if he gets Russ twice. Well, if he gets Russ three times, he'll tie Leslie O 'Neill for cracking the top 20. Oh, so Vaughn's climbing and the Washington commanders have a big season in front. So it would be great to catch up with Vaughn. Words I never thought I would say before. But it's it's it's a fact. Bill Belichick getting rolled by TCU are words than I ever thought I would say. But that happened last night. It's amazing how he and Prime had their first games as college coaches at this level. Well, this is Bill's first period. We all know Prime came from Jackson State. But his first game in Colorado was against TCU.

4:05And Bill's first game for North Carolina was against TCU.

4:10Rich Eisen:Prime won his in on the road. This one started well. Started well. Started great. Got Skip Bayless doing things that were wrong within, wait a minute, five minutes. So it's good to see that he's still in top form.

4:29Rich Eisen:And it started great. Looked great. And there's Roy Williams surrounded by MJ and LT. Right? Oh, man. I mean, they were all there. Heavy hitters, yeah. Oh, North Carolina came out. I think Aaron Boone was there. Aaron Boone was there, which was great, which means, you know, I was expecting the reason why North Carolina was losing, that Devin Williams somehow got in the game. Oh, I'm on fire today. I'm on fire. I'm the airbender right now. 48 to 14 is the final. I didn't, I mean, did you see the TCU Twitter account? By the way, whoever's running the socials for TCU on, fire last night. Because you know the Tar Heels are going to have a documentary, right?

5:16Rich Eisen:Hard Knocks? Right, right. Type of show, yes. What's that? Is it on Hulu? Is it on Hulu? I don't know. It's on one of those. Okay. Well, we should know since one of them is ours. Right. Not on ours. Not on ours? Okay. No, it is on Hulu. Yeah, so check it out. It's on ours. Excited to showcase our program. It's full on Hulu. Hulu. Bundle it, everybody. Bundle it. More information to come. That was on August 24th. So on September 1st, someone from TCU football must have had that one already in the shoe. Locked and locked. They bookmarked it? They retweeted, when does episode one come out? I mean...

5:58Rich Eisen:Oh, man. The TCU account. Whose job is it to tell Bill about that? Or you don't? That's Jordan. Yeah, sure. She's running everything else. Is it Lambo? I don't think Lambo knows. I think she's in charge of most things these days. Including picking defensive players. Careful. Careful. Careful. How dare you? This is still Bill Belichick we're talking about. Come on now. Not my guy anymore, man. Just like that, he's not your guy anymore? Come on. He's their guy. Wow. So all that stuff he did, all the great memories and rings. Cool. Well, just to bring something from the past, we got a little bit of moving on to Cincinnati except this is college so it's moving on to Charlotte well you know use the time best we can to like I said correct the mistakes from tonight and move on and then you know get ready for Charlotte so you know they got a couple extra days here and you know they came off a disappointing game themselves so you know we're both a little bit in the same boat here but yeah we got a lot of work to do and you know we'll get out I mean be careful everybody to pile on Bill Belichick right now I don't know.

7:06Rich Eisen:It seems kind of fun. I'm glad that this is not my issue anymore. Yeah, is that right? I am very happy that this is not something that I have to personally answer for as well. So they're getting ready for Charlotte. So, yeah, Charlotte's next. Oh, then the Richmond Spider stanched that drink over here. Yeah. I thought she said you was okay. So I guess we should say this. We should basically say people are telling Belichick to go get his shine box right now. You don't want to wind up like Spider because he knows. Do you think he forgot how to coach? Is that what people are saying right now? Come on now.

7:42Rich Eisen:I think you stick around long enough and you're the villain and the bad guy when you should have just quit while you're on top. Hey, take a look at Alabama. You know what I'm saying? I mean, it just doesn't matter, I guess, anymore who the coach is that much. It really depends on NIL and who's putting stuff on the table. I think it would matter if a certain head coach was still there. What, you mean like Nick you're talking about? Yeah, maybe. Nick's going to be coaching the Browns next year, right? Or the Colts, yeah. One or the other. Good to know. Come on, man. Now, if they get smoked by Charlotte and then they have trouble with Richmond, now we're talking.

8:21Rich Eisen:He's not going to finish the season. How soon? Give me the over-under. That's it. Right there. Over-under and when people are wondering about his buyout. Oh, it's going to be. That he's out. Out the gate. It could be next week. It could be a week from today, Monday. Stop it. If they get a 40-burger put on him again, what are we doing? Come on. It's a different world, right? It's different when you got 19, 20, 21-year-olds. It's different when, how many transfers do they have? Just about all of them. Dozens? All of them. He swapped them out. Just pump the brakes. I just found it. He had Mack Brown on last Friday.

9:02Rich Eisen:They asked him, hey, if somebody came up to you throughout your first tenure at North Carolina and in Texas and then again at North Carolina, say you'd be succeeded by Bill Belichick. What would you say? And he said that they are now committed. It's good to see them having committed to football. Do you remember that? Putting the money in. Well, I mean, that was it was seven nothing. And then it wasn't. And I appreciate, by the way, Reese Davis bringing up an old sports center line of mine when it was really on and cracking, busting out the weapon stick. I appreciate that. I'm wondering if Reese thinks that will suffice as payment for the$100.

9:39Rich Eisen:Oh, yeah. He owes me for saying if I dropped a Larry Beal, you know, Aloha means goodbye on my sports center that I did a couple Mondays ago. I wonder if he thinks that that's payment in full. So we're still waiting for the hundo. That's what you're saying? No, I should reach out to him. By the way, I should say we're even. Because I'm that type of guy. $100 cash is nice. Let's go to Jeremy in Raleigh, North Carolina. What's up, Jeremy?

10:09Rich Eisen:Hey, what's up? How are you? What's up with you, Jeremy? What's up? What's on your mind? Yeah, so I think the other day you guys had a conversation about jersey etiquette and whether or not it's okay to wear a third-team jersey. It is not. Other than the two-teams playing. It is not. Nationally. Internationally, you can. Here in America, absolutely not. I disagree, Jeremy. I disagree, too. So I was with you guys, and then I thought about it, and I think there are specific games where it is okay. And so I want to see if you can guess what the game is. I can't. What's that I'm thinking about. Go for it.

10:45Rich Eisen:You tell me, Jeremy. Is that a start game? I have no idea. Divisional opponent game. Not divisional round, sorry. Divisional opponent. Yes. Last game of the season. Okay. Neither team should have been playing. Okay. went into overtime. Okay. And the reason why it was significant and why you could wear another jersey there, because if the game did tie, then the Steelers wouldn't have gone to the playoffs. You remember Raiders, Chargers? Jeremy, the mere fact that the beautiful mind meme is going through my head right now means that this is Rich Eisen Productions, Rich Eisen Consulting rejected, Jeremy.

11:30Rich Eisen:I can't, I can't, I can't. There's no needle you can thread here. You don't think so? No, I'm sorry. In the telecast, they kept showing the guy in the Steelers jersey. They were so worried about the tie. Okay. I still just can't. But thank you for the call, Jeremy. Call back, please, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Normally, we don't just out of hand reject a caller like that. But I'm sorry. Arius Consulting, we have made our decision. Plus, it's also an overreaction Monday on a Tuesday. Hit it. Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction. Mondays. Monday.

12:09Rich Eisen:On a Tuesday. That's correct. Overreaction Monday, the podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. And, of course, on our YouTube channel, youtube.com slash richeyesandshow. 975 ,000 subscribers and growing. Christopher Brockman. How are you guys? What do you have? What's up, Chris? Happy Tuesday. TJ, great to see you. What do you got? Martin, I'm sure. It was. Von Miller beckons and we got to this segment too late. All right, great. Here's the deal. I'm listening to Sean McVay talk yesterday about injury updates, and it still doesn't sound like Matthew Stafford is doing great. They should just sit him.

12:44Rich Eisen:Sit Matthew Stafford until he's 100 % healthy. No. I totally disagree with you. Totally disagree with you. Do you think Matthew Stafford is 100 % healthy? No, but. Then why is he going to play? Because he's close enough. He's scheduled to a play on Sunday against Houston. Dude, Matthew Stafford is going to play on Sunday. That does not seem like the best course of action. Unless he can't get out of bed. I mean, it would only be fitting if the Rams played the Packers, so it could be epidural versus epidural. And the J. Felly Bowl. Right? Brought to you by some chiropractor in Englewood. Yeah. California removal.

13:27Rich Eisen:You know what I mean? Can't we just play Jimmy G for a month until Matthew is actually a functioning upright quarterback? This is 100 % overreaction. If the guy gets out of bed and says, I want to play football, the answer is yes. Yes. Okay? End of story. I don't know if this is a good idea. It is absolutely a good idea. And watch him sling it. Yeah, but Rich, if you could sit him and have him just get a little better for like two weeks. How do you know when it is? At what point? So he's got to feel nothing, right? He's got to feel nothing, and it feels great, and that's when he's going to start playing.

14:03Rich Eisen:And then you know how it works. You have a back problem, you feel great, then all of a sudden you reach for a doorknob, and then you're on the ground. I mean, that's true. And I understand if you reach for a doorknob and you're on the ground, you should not go against, say, someone like Will Anderson. I get it. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. What else you got over there, Chris? The Micah Parsons trade is an indicator that Dax days in Dallas are numbered. Dax days in Dallas. How is that possible? Wow. If you're Dak, why do you want to stick around when this is what's going on around you? You're getting rid of all the good players.

14:34Rich Eisen:Why do I want to play there anymore? Let me ask you this question. Dak is not going to be the Dallas quarterback in like two years. How about this? Can you let me say this? Please, let me handle this, TJ. Not like you were about to jump in having a sip of your tea over there. Is it possible that Michael was rubbing Dak the wrong way and he's sitting there going, Okay. So Dak made the kill shot? I'm not saying he did. You're suggesting. I'm not. I'm sitting here saying he's sitting there. And if Micah was there, he'd be like, great. We got a pass rusher of his note. And then if he's not, he's like, I've got this.

15:09Rich Eisen:I'm Dak Prescott. Pressure makes diamonds. I've got the C on my chest. Let's go. I got George Pickens. We're going to figure out this run game. The defense will do just enough because I'm going to be putting 30 points on the board. Do you think he's sitting there crying at home right now? Who cares if they score 30? if they give up 31 without the best player on their team. What if it's possible that Dak is just face forward saying all the things that a leader does and that behind the scenes, whatever was issues with Micah, is that out of the realm? Is that out of the realm of crazy? At this point, I don't think anything's out of the realm of possibility.

15:38Rich Eisen:I push back on this one, too. Plus, his cap number probably makes Kalen DeBoer's buyout look like it's chump change. That's true. Kalen catching the just three. If they trade him, how that must accelerate? Jerry might have to sell one of those chandeliers in there to try and pay for it. What else you got over there, Chris? Bucs-Falcons week one, I think, is one of the low-key, most important matchups on the slate this weekend. Winner of that game, going to win the NFC South. I don't disagree with that one. I think that's an easy one to say. That's not an overreaction. Michael Panik's not playing at all in the preseason.

16:13Rich Eisen:I don't love that. He's one of those preseason head scratchers. I don't love that. But, you know, he could also just come out of the box spinning it with that left hand and looking great. and there's Drake London, and you're like, I should have picked him up in the second round of fantasy draft. On paper, amazing offense. It sure does, right? But here comes Baker, baby. I can't wait for this one. This is going to be great. It's going to be fun. It is. Jets and the Steelers at the same time. This could be a red zone hot game. There we go. A lot of action. Okay, I will buy this one. This one's a quick buy, an easy buy.

16:38Rich Eisen:Quick buy, I like that. Yes. Here's a few college ones, because it was a big slate over the weekend as well. Yes. You are not concerned about Arch. I'm going the other way. Texas is going to miss the college football playoff. Get out of here. Come on, girl. You talk about their schedule, right? For anybody who's new around you, let me just... For anybody that's new around these parts, Overreaction Monday is sort of a way for us to have our little bit of fun with other members of our broadcast community that have a reaction based on the immediacy of the moment. Absolute knee-jerk. And also on Friday, we have a segment called What's More Likely where you give me a couple of ideas and I'll say what's more likely.

17:26Rich Eisen:What's more likely? This is correct? Or we, at some point late December, early January, have the narrative of look how much Arch has grown since the last time Texas played Ohio State. Third time in a calendar year that there were like 365 days that they're playing each other. They lost Texas to Ohio State in the playoffs. They lost to Ohio State to kick off the season. Look how much Arch has grown. And the narrative is like he's a different quarterback from week one. The Saturday before Labor Day. What's more likely? That's the narrative or Texas just misses it entirely? They play at Florida, at Georgia.

18:05Rich Eisen:They lose both of those. Suddenly now they have three losses and they're on the fringe. Right. And then a huge game to end the season against Texas A &M. Maybe they lose that. They're out. What's more likely? Texas makes the playoff. or somebody somewhere thinks Alabama should make it over Florida State. What's more likely of a January conversation? I would hope. Come on now. Overreaction. What else you got over there? Speaking of Alabama, Rich, they need to lure Saban back to save the program from becoming Vanderbilt. How? Vanderbilt? Oh, really? You want Vanderbilt on us? Well, they're probably the worst SEC team, right?

18:41Rich Eisen:Cutler. Cutler might come at you with his chickens and his hens or whatever he's got. That's not happening. It should. It's not happening. You don't think behind the scenes at Bama right now they're having this conversation? They might be having this conversation, but he might be just like, I'm on college game day. He wins every Saturday now. Well, he used to win every Saturday anyway. He sits next to Pat and offers a perfect yin to that yang. I just love the shots of the two of them off camera together that you see where Nick is just like being Nick and Pat's being Pat. And it's just awesome.

19:12Rich Eisen:It works. And he wins every single Saturday. He's not going anywhere. He does that anyway. That's great. By the way, if that happened, how quickly could they get the office change back? Probably pretty fast. I bet Nick's office is literally just in storage. They should lure him back, but it's not happening. I don't know. Does that count as half a reaction? I don't know. A proper reaction. You got one more? Last one. Last one. Give me the drop. Give me a drop here, Mark. We need one more. All right, we'll get one more. Okay, you're so surprised. One more. I did not. That's my son Cooper. You got double one more.

19:44Rich Eisen:What do you got? Belichick should have stayed on TV. The UNC tenure will tarnish his legacy. It won't tarnish it. He should have stayed on TV maybe at the end of the day. But why does this tarnish his legacy? He's a first ballot Hall of Famer. And as a matter of fact, he will not only be a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's not going to be in the college Hall of Fame. He's going next year. What is he going to be in the college Hall of Fame for? He's going to be in Canton next year. they changed the rules for a coach to be out one year. Legacy. How quick are you turning on this man? It's unbelievable.

20:12Rich Eisen:And Billy Truss for two decades. I was the first one in the national media who said he should be done coaching the Patriots. And then you guys a year later got on board with that. Look at Chris referring to himself as a national media. I don't even know who he is anymore. Who's that guy over there? You made him. I made him. No, I think Mary Brockman made him. That's true. Shout out to Mary. Shout out to Miss Mary. This guy over there. tarnishes legacy. Get out of here. I've already forgotten about the Patriots. Chris will tell you that. And he was the first media member to realize that Kyler Murray was indeed going to play football.

20:46Rich Eisen:Ladies and gentlemen, number one pick in the draft. Good overreaction Monday and a Tuesday again for the overreaction Monday podcast every Monday through the rich eyes and podcast network, courtesy of our friends at ESPN right now. Let's take a break.

So what is going through your mind going into this season number? Let me get this right.

23:02Rich Eisen:It's season 14 for you, Vaughn. Season 15. Season 15. I played 14. It's going on season 15. Okay. Yeah, I mean, like, you know, I'd be 37 years old in March. And, you know, for me it was just about, you know, staying healthy. They did a really good job, you know, here with the commanders and Coach Quinn. They've done a really good job of keeping me healthy and, you know, the plan that they had to practice and hold me back. And, you know, this offseason, coming into this season, I went and got stem cells at Origins in Panama. It was a state-of-the-art facility, highest quality stem cells, extremely safe and transparent process.

23:45And I just wanted that natural healing and the recovery to get ready for the season. And I was healthy going in. You don't necessarily need to be injured, but it was something I wanted to do to make sure I was ready to go. It was a great process. And leading up into this training camp, whenever I signed, I was ready to go. And they did a really good job of working me in and wrapping up my reps. And here it is, week one of my 15th season, and I'm ready to go.

24:10Rich Eisen:Normally somebody of your stature and age would be the 100 % OG of the locker room. But there's Bobby Wagner right there, Vaughn. What is that like to be a teammate of Bobby Wagner and both of you? I'll say it. I know you can't. Both of you will wind up in Ohio one day with a bust and a jacket and all of that. What is it like to be a teammate of his for this team going into this campaign, Vaughn? It's cool, man, because I've been a huge fan of Bobby Wagner, you know, my whole career. you know him them you know registering me as a linebacker and you know them registering him as a linebacker you know we kind of battle for those all pro votes you know he beat me out he beat me out on a couple all pro votes um but now they fixed that you know they got an edge rusher and all that stuff so if it was like that back in the day i probably would have had a few more but bobby beat me out a couple of times and you know it's good to have a guy like that in the locker room man i've been a fan of his for a super long time he's a vet he knows what it takes to win super bowls um you know not only him but you know zach urch and you know larmy tumsall and you know all of these guys man we got a good group of vets in there and it's good to just be there with guys that that know how to get it done and they've been doing it for a very long time at a hot level yeah the conversation about the commander's roster uh part of it is is you do have the oldest roster entering the season, but you also have a young unicorn at arguably the most important position.
