Hour 3: What’s More Likely, Lamar’s Cryptic Tweet, plus UFL Dallas Renegades HC Rick Neuheisel

10:20Rich Eisen:Again, I don't mean to congratulate one while denigrating the other. Okay? I'm not a hater. You're a celebrator. Brees Hall is the answer to that question. Although, if Kenneth Walker III winds up in Kansas City, that would be quite the development. But I'll still go Brees Hall on this front. Their stats were really similar last year. Brees had 1 ,065 yards. Right. Ken had 1 ,027. Now, what about the receiving? The receiving is a little. It's now more lopsided in Brees Hall's favor. Now, if you look at his receiving yards coming out of the backfield, I would proffer to say that that takes care of business on the fantasy front.

11:06Rich Eisen:I don't know if you got that information over there. Yeah, he had 36. This is Breeze Hall for 350 and a touchdown. Right. And what about Kenneth Walker? I bet you need to really scroll down to find him right there.

11:15Rick Neuheisel:Kenneth Walker, he had, hold please.

11:18Rich Eisen:I'm holding. Oh, yeah. Well, he had 31 catches for 282. Okay. All right. You can go high register. What else you got over there, Suze? What's next?

11:28Rick Neuheisel:All right, well, let's talk about Stephon Diggs. All right? Okay. Obviously released by the Patriots this week. Is it more likely that the Patriots sign Alec Pierce in free agency or trade for A.J. Brown?

11:45Rich Eisen:Wow. Man. I'll go signing Alec Pierce. Is St.

11:52Rick Neuheisel:Alec Pierce going to get$20 million to$30 million?

11:57Rich Eisen:I wish I had a GoPro on your look of your face there.

12:01Rick Neuheisel:That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. Man.

12:06Rich Eisen:I'll go signing Alec Pierce. I'll say that. That's more likely than trading. One thing's money. The other is draft capital. and I understand draft capital isn't costful in terms of salary cap, but I think it's viewed as more cherished than the actual money that's out the door. And I know I'm talking about billionaires spending money and they're as tight-fisted as anybody else. But I just don't know. I just don't think the Eagles are interested in trading A.J. Brown. They're just not. unless he's doing something behind the scenes that we have no idea, they're going to hold on to him. And they're going to have him.

12:49Rich Eisen:He's 28. He's one of the best in the business. Why would you trade that guy?

12:53Rick Neuheisel:Unless you're worried about something in the locker room.

12:55Rich Eisen:I don't think there's anything in the locker room to worry about. How does that sound?

12:58Rick Neuheisel:I'd take him in the Patriots locker room.

13:00Rich Eisen:I know you would. I know you would. And he's more proven out than Alec Pierce. But, yeah, giving Alec Pierce$30 million a year like he's DK Metcalf. Now, here's something weird, though. Yeah. Alec Pierce and A.J. Brown both had 1 ,003 yards receiving last year. A.J. Brown did it on 78 catches. Alec Pierce only had 47. I know. He was a chunk play guy. He was a deep threat guy. And Brown does more than deep threat. And he also had a down year.

13:35Rich Eisen:So, I think the Eagles don't trade him. and I think the Patriots will give it a shot over the weekend. And if not, they'll pay Alec Pierce money. What else?

13:45Rick Neuheisel:With Kyler Murray being set to be released and Aaron Rodgers saying there's no progressive talks with the Steelers yet about 26, who's more likely to be a week one starting quarterback, Kyler Murray or Aaron Rodgers?

13:58Rich Eisen:I'll go Aaron Rodgers. I'll go Aaron Rodgers. Again, it's always dangerous to assume anything with Aaron Rodgers or speak for him about what I think his mindset is. I think few things piss him off more, so I tread lightly. He said this. But, you know, as much as he's friends with Pat, he showed up on Pat's show because he had a platform. He was able to say some things he wanted to get off his chest. or he was willing to do it now. And him, the way I heard him talk about the contract, makes it sound like, you know, hey, don't talk to me about timelines when there's no contract on the table. And at one point he said, I think he was, you can look it up right here because I get the transcripts sent to me when he talked about his getting the contract sent to him.

14:59that you take a look at his statement,

15:03Rich Eisen:and he was basically saying along the lines that he's ready for it and interested in what the conversations will be. He said, quote-unquote, there hasn't been any deadline set on me. There hasn't been any contract floated in front of me for me to say, well, we're giving you to March 8th to make a decision on this contract. There's been nothing to that respect. Interested in what the conversations will be, but there hasn't been any progression when it comes to that. That's a message. Like, you want a timeline? Okay. Well, give me something to timeline. The fact that they haven't is kind of mysterious.

15:41Rich Eisen:So, and Kyler Murray, again, if he's going to have to compete with J.J. McCarthy, I kind of think he beats J.J. out because he's Kyler Murray with tons of experience. And I don't know. Is it really going to come down to ditching J.J. McCarthy based on how things have gone inside the building and training camp days and one preseason start for each? That's a slippery slope. So at this point in time, I'd rather go with Aaron Rodgers is what's more likely. Suze, what else you got over there?

16:15Rick Neuheisel:All right, with D.J. Moore being traded to the Bills on Thursday, we're going to talk receivers now. Who's more likely to have more receiving yards and touchdowns this upcoming season? DJ Moore or any Bears receiver, Romadunze or Luther?

16:31Rich Eisen:Good one. He said receiver, right? Not pass catcher.

16:35Rick Neuheisel:He said receiver.

16:36Rich Eisen:Because if he was sitting here saying, is Colston Loveland included in this? So let's say receiver. I mean, a tight end is a receiver. No, he's not. He catches the ball. I understand that. That's why we refer to tight ends as pass catchers. In the same way that you see in a hockey winning streak, We call it an unbeaten streak because there's ties in there. So you use the verbiage there. Whenever you're talking about, oh, the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelsey led them in touchdown receptions, he would be a pass catcher leading the team in touchdown receptions. He would lead the wide receiver group.

17:11Rich Eisen:You understand what I'm saying? I mean, it's hard for me to argue. So I would then say D.J. Moore. I'm going to believe in the process here. I'm going to say DJ Moore has more yards and touchdowns than a Bears receiver next year. Uh-huh. I'm going with Josh Allen. Even though Caleb just crushed it. Roma Dunze just heard that. I understand that. I get it. No disrespect. No disrespect. I'm just going to go with Josh Allen.

17:36Rick Neuheisel:Although usually when you say no disrespect, there's a disrespect.

17:40Rich Eisen:In this case, I don't think he means it.

17:42Rick Neuheisel:No, I say with all due respect when I can say something disrespectful.

17:46Rich Eisen:Okay.

17:47Rick Neuheisel:Just clarifying.

17:48Rich Eisen:Yeah.

17:48Rick Neuheisel:So I know later at home.

17:49Rich Eisen:Thank you.

17:52Rick Neuheisel:More likely three-win AFC team to at least double that total next season, the Raiders or the Titans?

17:59Rich Eisen:Hmm.

18:03Rich Eisen:I'll go Titans. What? What? It's our year, man. Come on. I'll give you the floor. Go for it. What do you got? I don't have anything to do. Okay.

18:15Rick Neuheisel:He's just hurt, Rick.

18:16Rich Eisen:No, Cam Ward, year two. They're going to draft a player who's really impactful, whether on the defensive side of the ball or if they get Jeremiah Love, right? Robert Sala is going to come in there. I think they win six games. I know I'm going a little high register here. But, yeah, I'll go Titans over the Raiders. You got one more? You got a couple more? What do you got over there?

18:39Rick Neuheisel:I got one more.

18:40Rich Eisen:Okay, give us the drop. One more. I did not notice. Okay.

18:45Rick Neuheisel:That's my boy. All right. Little NBA Now. Ah. Because it says Little NBA Now.

18:50Rich Eisen:Okay.

18:51Rick Neuheisel:Very Ron Burgundy right there. Little NBA Now.

18:53Rich Eisen:That was very anchorman of you right there. Little NBA Now as in small people.

19:01Rick Neuheisel:You know, that's why I don't read prompter ever, TJ. Suze Burgundy, everybody. That's the great thing about here, Suze.

19:08Rich Eisen:We don't rely on prompters like some shows.

19:10Rick Neuheisel:I know, like some shows. The Spurs, Rich. Won 9 of 10, and a certain Celtic is back tonight.

19:19Rich Eisen:Oh, boy. My heart.

19:21Rick Neuheisel:Someone's back. The more likely current number two seed to end up first in their conference, the Spurs or the Celtics?

19:30Rich Eisen:I'll go the Celtics.

19:32Rick Neuheisel:Yeah.

19:33Rich Eisen:I'll go the Celtics. I should look this up. Last I checked, the Celtics were four back. How far back are the Spurs right now? Let's check that out. Oh, you got the standings? Hoskins got the standings. Very good. Put it up there. Celtics are four and a half behind the Pistons. Five in the loss. And what are the Spurs? What do we got on the Western Conference side of things here? Three back. They're three back. I'll just go Celtics because they're just on fire. And I don't want to see it. And usually when things are happening in major sports these days, things I don't want to see happen. So I made that about me.

20:08Rich Eisen:You got to look at the Thunder, right? They got 49 wins, most of the league. Yes. You'd have to count on them to have a fall off a little. And I don't see that happen. I don't know. And the Pistons, though, haven't been falling off. The Celtics have been just on fire, man. Yeah, I hate them. They have been on fire. And here comes Jason Tatum expected back tonight. And again, I'm looking to see 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there, 20 minutes there. And then April hits. He'll do a little bit more. And then when the playoffs hit, who knows? Maybe he'll be back to being number zero. That would be bad for the Lord doesn't want to see this happen.

20:43Rich Eisen:Good Lord. What's more likely presented by Pella windows and doors. When it comes to your home, Pella windows and doors always have the winning game plan.

23:57Rick Neuheisel:The Rich Eisen Show podcast.

24:01Rich Eisen:UFL is kicking off the 2026 season on the last Friday of this month, March 27. The championship airs on ABC. It has been a long time since we've welcomed in this man on the program. Ladies and gentlemen, the UFL head coach of Dallas Renegades, Rick Neuheisel. How you doing, Rick? Good to see you.

24:20Rick Neuheisel:I am wonderful, Rich. It was great to see you over the course of the combine. And I look forward to the run, rich run episode. It's wonderful what you're doing for that great charity.

24:34Rich Eisen:Thanks. And I'm going to be running at St. Jude in a few weeks time. And then Aaron, the results in quotes on the Saturday of the draft. Also, Suze is here too, Rick. So she wants to say hello. Go forward, Suze.

24:47Rick Neuheisel:Hey, Rick. It's been a minute or so. Suze, how you doing? The better three quarters, I like to say. The better three quarters. Just trying to hold up the weight of the world here on The Rich Asin Show. Good to see you. And congrats. Do you have a new family member? I have a daughter-in-law since the last time we talked. Excellent. Congratulations. Absolutely. But I'm having a blast coaching again. Great. And it's great to see you guys. The set looks perfect.

25:15Rich Eisen:Thank you. And your kid.

25:16Rick Neuheisel:And your kid's coaching.

25:17Rich Eisen:I love it. Yeah, exactly right. And I love that viral moment. when your son is the interim coach, won a big, huge football game, and CBS was peeping you on the set, Rick. That's what it's all about.

25:29Rick Neuheisel:The dad goggles were firmly in place that day. Yeah, I'm still apologizing to Penn State fans for my lack of neutrality. Switzerland, I was not.

25:40Rich Eisen:Listen, those are 100 % easily understood. So before we get to a little bit of college football with you and everything else going on, Let's talk about some of these new UFL rules that I'm sure the league is keeping an eye on. A four-point field goal, Rick? Really? We're going to do that?

25:57Rick Neuheisel:Well, the idea is the further away you get, the more you're risking great field position for the other team. So to kind of get the kick to be taken, you want to encourage it for the fourth point. You know, we talk about when you're down in the red zone, going for going forward on fourth down to keep a touchdown drive alive. Those are four point plays going for it on fourth and goal is a four point play because you can probably make that field goal. Ninety five percent, ninety eight percent of the time. But to get the touchdown is a four point play. Well, now we have a four point play in actuality.

26:36Rick Neuheisel:And as you just mentioned, the numbers for Aubrey. I mean, there's a number of kickers. We saw so many kickers making 50-plus that made it look like chip shots, and you and I don't have to remember back that long when that was less than 50-50 proposition. So that world's changed. I think to get that excitement and those long kicks rather than just at the end of a half, the four-point idea is a good one. So, interesting.

27:03Rich Eisen:Do you think the fact that a four-point game is now a one-score game, right, for just a field goal, and the fact that we do have longer-legged kickers, if you will, and some of them that we see in the NFL come from UFL action.

27:22Rick Neuheisel:Yeah, Aubrey was a UFL guy. No doubt. Or USFL, whatever the hybrid is. Now it's the UFL. It's the XFL and USFL merge.

27:31Rich Eisen:Yes. So we've seen from this league that we've seen NFL kickers get born, if you will. You think this might cause more going for it inside the 10-yard line than ever before? Or the analytics are always going to rule that day and that it might be tilted now that, hey, if you don't go for it here and you just get three, you could get beat by one by somebody who kicks it from midfield.

28:01Rick Neuheisel:You know, I haven't thought that far down the road. I just know that there's a lot of decision-making going on with the Brendan Aubrey's of the world. Now that that 60 yard field goal is a makeable deal. It might become more prudent to try it when it's a four point play, as opposed to a three point play, given the analytics of the game. And I think fans love those long kicks. There's a lot of oohs and aahs. it's like a home run, right? You just see something go that long in the air. It's entertaining. And I think to line up to try it, I think is fun. And imagine the idea of a coach at the end of a game down three, and he's got a 51-yarder, and he tells the quarterback to take on third down a 10-yard sack so that he can get 61 and win the game.

28:52Rick Neuheisel:Imagine that coach and the kahunas that that would take.

28:56Rich Eisen:Yes, exactly.

28:58Rick Neuheisel:And I want to be that coach, Rich. I want to be that coach.

29:01Rich Eisen:Yeah, you do, Rick Neuheisel. So, again, we might see – we were talking about this the other day. Let's just say it is a 51-yard field goal, and you are down by three, right? Right. You would have – if you know you've got a kicker like, say, Aubrey, he's a perfect guy to use, again, because we're talking about this league as well, UFL. And so a victory formation technically could be a quarterback running back nine yards and taking a knee there.

29:29Rick Neuheisel:100%. I predict we'll see that this year.

29:35Rich Eisen:And you want to be that guy.

29:36Rick Neuheisel:I want that to be me. Yes.

29:39Rich Eisen:I love it. I love it. Are you in favor of the band?

29:42Rick Neuheisel:I really hope the kick goes through. I really hope that it does.

29:46Rich Eisen:That goes without saying. Are you in favor of the ban of the Tush Push as well?

29:52Rick Neuheisel:I am. You know, I understand all the work that the Tush Push, all those architects of that play put into it and why you don't want to give it up. But you can imagine if you get a unique set of guys up front, you just keep doing it. And now we've seen the slow motion cameras and how quickly they're jumping the snap count. I just think for the aesthetics of the game that it's just a safer answer to let that play go by way of the whales and find other ways to get your one yard. I mean, Josh Allen, when he gets down there, it's almost an indefensible play. And while if you're the Buffalo Bills, you don't want to see that go away, you certainly don't want to see Josh Allen lost to an injury in that kind of play.

30:41Rick Neuheisel:Or anybody that's blocking for Josh Allen or trying to defend him.

30:44Rich Eisen:The thing that I've come around on not wanting the tush push anymore is I think it's just, you know, unruffable. That's right. You know, the officiating of it. Now ESPN and Fox and CBS can have this camera angle right down the line. Prime Video, all the partners, you know, Netflix, YouTube, they all have the 4K cameras. and they can all see whether somebody's firing out too early or there is a fumble or anything like that. And unless an official gets prone on his or her stomach to get that angle, you just can't see it.

31:21Rick Neuheisel:Just can't see it. I think we've got it so good that I think it's best we just move on. It has a wonderful place in NFL history and football history. but I think fans paying the exorbitant costs that they're paying want to see some, a play that, you know, took some more imagination than that one. And that's taking nothing away from those who architected this incredible play.

31:48Rich Eisen:When was the last time you coached a game where one foot in bounds was a catch?

31:53Rick Neuheisel:I was at UCLA. I was at UCLA when, you know, in, in college. And, you know, we've got a number of kids that have great college careers and resumes. So it doesn't take much for them to remember how.

32:05Rich Eisen:Okay. And, you know, Rick Neuheisel here on the Rich Eisen Show. Describe for me the player that you're coaching right now and their hopes, their dreams, why they're doing what they're doing with you, for you, collectively as a group together. Why you think they are doing this?

32:24Rick Neuheisel:Well, they love football. And it's what I've said about spring football. As a matter of fact, I replaced Bob Stoops here with the Renegades. And I was the one who told Bob three years ago that he would love this. Steve Spurrier and I, who coached in the old Alliance of American Football back in 2019, both told him he was going to have a blast. And Bob was on the practice field yesterday telling me exactly that. This was the most fun he's ever had because the player in this league loves the game in such a way that he's willing to do it and go through all the work to get ready to do it, to chase that brass ring of the NFL one more time.

33:02Rick Neuheisel:And it's the purest form of football left, given what's happened to college football on the pay for play scheme, because every one of these guys is on a scholarship. They all make the same amount. There's no separation between the different positions as to what you earn. And it's for this love of the game, love of the team, love of the locker room and love of one more chance to see if I might be able to go and prove that I can play on Sundays. And I think we're all, as coaches, thankful for the kind of attitude that we get every day.

33:32Rich Eisen:And, you know, again, I could see some of your players filing in and out behind you there in your locker room.

33:37Rick Neuheisel:They knew I was on the Rich Eisen show trying to just get a little glimpse. And by the way. And they knew Soothy was in town. That's it, Rick. Let's get a little camera over there. There you go. Now they've got what they want. Yeah, now. Hi, guys.

33:55Rich Eisen:You know, so these players, you know what it you've been around and you know what a professional football player looks like, an NFL player looks like. And I don't obviously don't want you to name names, but do you see NFL players in UFL where you're like, OK, that that kid should be.

34:14Rick Neuheisel:Without question, without question. And this, you know, I had the experience in the NFL with the Ravens back in 05, 06, 07. Yes. And we'd get into these personnel meetings when we're trying to get to our 53-man roster. And numbers 48 through 53 were always a long conversation. And the different things that guys could do and the more things that guys could do to make themselves more valuable. And it really comes down to the makeup of your team. the condition. For instance, you might need to take an extra tight end because one of your top tight ends has got an arthritic knee, right? So that all of a sudden, if you're the fourth tight end in that camp, you make it.

34:55Rick Neuheisel:Whereas if you're the fourth tight end and there's none of that conditions, you're in the UFL. And those are the kind of things that if you can get the film, and a number of guys, they sign what they call offer sheets, basically, where they have committed to going to a training camp next year with an NFL team. That means that they've got to make that NFL team. In this situation, they get, they're going to get hopefully 10 games and playoffs. There'll be two playoff games to get to determine the champion. In this league, you got hopefully 12 games of film for NFL GM to look at, see you doing special teams, see you doing all the different things and that film can be your ticket back to the league uh and maybe get you into the

35:43Rich Eisen:situation where they know they need that fourth tie down that's amazing it really is it's dream building man you know and i'm not just saying this because this is on you know and who better than me to dream build you're the you're the dream weaver i'm the dream weaver gary wright did not live in vain you could you look at you you could even sing it you still play your guitar rick you still saying?

36:05Rick Neuheisel:I have the guitar. It's safely tucked away into a private location where it cannot be found other than with me. But no, I am telling you, and I mean this in all sincerity, I know we're trying to publicize the league and get folks to come and watch, but this is really fun. This is really fun. It's a blast to be around these young men. The worst day is when you have to tell a few of them they didn't make the team because you know how much it means to them. And given what's going on in college football and, you know, whether or not, you know, kids are playing for the love of the game, that's no concern here.

36:42Rich Eisen:Yeah, I mean, you're obviously still all over that level of football and what you do every single Saturday on the TV side of things. I just think that, listen, I'm not telling any tales out of school. Will we ever get rules? You know what I mean? I know there are some rules for certain states and certain that, but I have no problem with kids getting theirs. But the fact that you as a coach at that level need to basically re-recruit your entire team every year means there's got to be something done.

37:19Rick Neuheisel:Well, there's a big group of people meeting at the White House today that are looking forward to maybe setting an agenda. You know, some movers and shakers from the world of television, commissioners, coaches, Saban, Mack Brown, Urban Meyer are all there. So hopefully they'll set an agenda to get down the path, hopefully a yellow brick road, if you will, to some answers for this. As you said, there's no fault in having players get a piece of the pot. They're deserving of it. We just need now to figure out how to do it. And the problem is the world of college athletics has never, ever had somebody looking at it from the top, from a global atmosphere.

38:02Rick Neuheisel:It's always people looking at it from a conference level, from a team level, from a university level and such. We've never had anybody trying to put it all together as a commissioner would. I'm not sure we're going to get a commissioner. And we understand those who have the power don't want to acquiesce and give it away. We understand that. But somehow, some way, we've got to figure out a place to go where we can agree on a formula that makes sense. Because it's not just college football that we're trying to save. It's the entirety of college athletic departments because football is the breadwinner.

38:36Rick Neuheisel:And if we if we just get to the, you know, the fortunate souls that are the brands that we all recognize and we go create what's considering the Super League, then what might take place is we're going to see the diminishment of athletic departments that were in those other schools. And that means swimming and tennis and gymnastics and on down the list are going to not have the opportunity to compete. And that would be a travesty given what we all believe is the real mission statement of college athletics.

39:06Rich Eisen:Yeah.

39:07Rick Neuheisel:The soul of this is the is the relationship with the university. And that's what we've got to hang on to.

39:13Rich Eisen:Yeah. Yeah, and as you point out, it could be the denigration of Team USA Olympic teams, which use a lot of these programs as feeder systems. Exactly. And every two years, every four years, we're all excited as Americans watching them compete that that might not be the same. But the problem with doing it from top down, though, Rick, is, you know, and I'm not telling any tales out of school, but a school like, say, Michigan or UCLA or Colorado or any place that you've coached, along with a team that doesn't have the same revenue concerns, the same scheduling concerns, the same athletic department concerns, to put it all under one massive banner, I don't think works either, that there does need to be some separation.

40:04Rich Eisen:Yeah. And to decide who's in that boat and who isn't, I don't know whose job that would be either.

40:10Rick Neuheisel:Well, it's interesting. And what we have right now with the delineation of the Power Four and then the group of now six with the Pac-12 being re-energized with the formation of that conference, we've got a clear line of demarcation as to where the players are and where the resources are. But we do have an opportunity for those group of six programs to compete with the Power Four. And, you know, like tonight, there's a great story in basketball. Miami of Ohio is trying to complete the first ever perfect season in MAAC history, the Mid-American Conference. The Red Hawks, if they get it done, are 31-0.

40:54Rick Neuheisel:And yet there's some question as to whether or not they would qualify for the tournament. because the automatic bid would only go to the team that wins the conference tournament. And if they don't, is their 31-0 not good enough? And therein lies, you know, some metrics would say that they're not. But this is where I think we have to have some common sense, which might not be so common anymore, and make sure we're looking after the little guy because the little guy is as much a story in college athletics as the big guy. You know, Loyola of Chicago going to the tournament, Appalachian State beating Michigan on the first game ever in the Big Ten Network.

41:33Rick Neuheisel:Those are stories that resonate and are part of the lore of college athletics.

41:38Rich Eisen:Yeah, it resonates with me. That's for damn sure. I didn't mean that. It just came to mind. No, but you make an excellent point. I wish we could have solved college athletics here, me sitting on the Rich Eisen Show set and you in the Dallas Renegades locker room. But unfortunately, we've run out of time. and I appreciate your time, Rick. Really, it's been awesome.

41:59Rick Neuheisel:It's a treat and Susie, don't let him boss you around. You run that show, okay?

42:06Rich Eisen:Too late.

42:06Rick Neuheisel:I don't think anybody thinks in any way, shape or form that, you know, I'm in charge. I think America only wants to see Susie next to you and Elaine next to you on the Run Rich Run. That would be great. See where Susie would finish in that race. I would love it. I would love it. Can I tell you something? We actually tried that out, and it was humiliating. I think he was faster than I was. Oh, my gosh. And I swear to God, I never thought that day would happen.

42:32Rich Eisen:Rick, you're the man. Have a great time coaching, bud. The best of both of you. You're the best. That's Rick Neuheisel. There you go. Go Renegades right there.

Listen, you never know when it comes to postings on social media outfits.

44:45Rich Eisen:For instance, Rashawn Gary, apparently, IG posted a farewell to Green Bay and then took it down, saying his account's been hacked, he's not being released, he's not going anywhere. That's number one. Number two, apparently, Lamar Jackson went to X and posted the Denzel Washington training day boom gif with a smiley emoji. And everybody's going nuts. Yeah, go for it. Go ahead and do it one more time. Boom! Yeah. That's what he has posted, which is he knows something about what the Ravens are up to. Is it a new contract for him? Does he mean it personally for him? Or have they made an acquisition?

45:28Rich Eisen:Like, say, you know what? They're all thinking they're in Baltimore right now. We got Max Crosby. That's what they're thinking. Yeah. That their new head coach coming from west to east with a defensive mindset is going to get Max Crosby in his fold.

45:46Rick Neuheisel:Boom.

45:47Rich Eisen:That's right. For a team that was second to last in sacks, I did my top five teams that should overpay for Max Crosby list to start the week. The Ravens had 30 sacks last year. Only the Jets' 26 sacks were worse in the American Football Conference. So that's one thing there. Could he also be referring to, say, A.J. Brown is now in the mix there? That's also floating around. Okay. Or none of it. Or he just posted a gif of Denzel and now people are losing their money. Right, and he got a new car. He's so excited he's telling his friends, like they do on social media. I don't know. He got free breakfast, right?

46:27Rich Eisen:It's less than an hour. It's already got a million views on it. Is that right? Well, it's quick. You just take a – I took a look at it. That's a view. Boom. boom that's a view boom I love our drops our library drops there's so many

47:06Rick Neuheisel:What's Eisen?

47:07Rich Eisen:He doesn't like that one. I don't like that one because it's a who. I'm not an object. Don't objectify me unless... Listen, Susie, that's right. Oh, I mean, come on, the fire alarm went off. Okay.

47:16Rick Neuheisel:I like Rich Eisen. I find him accessible. That's your favorite. That is true.

47:20Rich Eisen:That's great.

47:20Rick Neuheisel:He gets really excited about it.

47:21Rich Eisen:Well, I mean, Jerry Seinfeld name-dropping me on Saturday Night Live like that. That's kind of gangster. You know what my phone did that night? It went boom. Boom. That's right. But I didn't check it because I was watching a movie with Taylor. Oh, you can't do that. I like it when she checks the phone, just like mom. Listen, I have no idea what Lamar is referring to at all. If it's any of the above, boom is right. Boom is right. This is amazing. And we are going to find out on Monday. As soon as we come on the air on Monday, it is on. Free agency has begun in the NFL, and we will be here for you then.
