  Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, everybody, Welcome to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: another episode of the Season with Peter Schreger. We're entering
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: week eight of this NFL campaign and we're coming off
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a week where the Patriots beat the Bills, the Vikings
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: beat the forty nine ers, and the New York Giants
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: got back on track beating the Washington Commanders. There was
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: so much intrigue going into this week about the Detroit Lions,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and then the Baltimore Ravens absolutely walloped them in Baltimore
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and did so physically, like watching Ronnie Stanley block poor
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph. I think he's in the stand somewhere. He
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: threw him around so hard. And it's just week to week,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to do like power rankings, and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this is the MVP because things change week two week,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and that's the beauty of the sport. I'm joined here
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: by Aaron wan Kaufman, our producer.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Aaron.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about the Sunday night game though, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: what the Eagles did to the Dolphins. Did did you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: watch that game?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, yep. I was texting with one of my
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: friends who's a writer, who is a huge Eagles fan,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and the difference in our emotion, like me having watched
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the Bills game earlier in the day and him currently
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: watching the Eagles game. I mean, it was it was.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: They were very good. It was it was like strength,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: they were speed, and.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Your friend's a writer. What's he writing?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And he writes for NFL writing, He works at ESP Nation.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: What's his name, Ben Nathan?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: What's up? Ben? You gotta read his stuff here. All along,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I thought you were my buddy and that you and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I are the ones texting, And now you've got this
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: other side. Check Ben Nathan at esp Nation that you're texting.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It's like finding out your wife is as a whole
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: other thing going on with some other guy in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: same exact line of work.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: All right here, I got a workshop my takes before
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I bring them.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I gotta be ready.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I got it. I got it. And if I start
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: seeing my takes on Ben Nathan's by the Eagles win
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: was huge and they'll continue to roll and we'll see
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: them in the playoffs. On this thing, I wanted to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: use the Eagles as a Peg because I made the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: comment on Good Morning Football on Monday morning, like, my
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: big takeaway from that game is that AJ Brown is
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: an absolute force and this dude is a is a beast,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and in a world where my kid wants to be
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill for Halloween and his friend wants to be
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson because he does the gritty and Tyreek does celebrate.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Like AJ Brown's as good as both those guys this year,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: if not the best wide receiver in all of football.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And the stat that came out since he had like
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a little sideline blow up on what was that a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Vikings, he and Jalen Hurts were,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know, going back and forth. He's had one hundred
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and twenty five yards or more in every single game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: That's five straight games. And the stat that ESPN was
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: showing it was first NBC, but then ESPN all day
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: yesterday on Instagram and it was made the rounds that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he and Calvin Johnson are the only receivers this century
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to go for one hundred and twenty five yards or
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: more five straight games. Now, I am going to take
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the credit here, but one percent
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of this did come from a Twitter follower who sent
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: this to me and was like, you need a nickname
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for aj Brown whatever he's got, and to use the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: word John in the nickname. I thought of it and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I went with it on the air. Mega John, Mega John.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I like that a lot. That's very good.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So the stat that came up was the only two
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: players to go for one twenty five or more and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: five straight games was Mega John and Megatron okay, which
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: then led my beautiful mind, crazy brain, sick, neurotic, where
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the hell does my brain go to? The Are they
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the only guys to do it? So I asked my
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: producer and Good Morning Football, nice dude named Rich Goldberg.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: He works out of Mount Laurel, New Jersey. I think
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he's in like uh, like he lives at the facility
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: because anytime, at any hour I'm texting him. He's like
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: deep in the NFL film's archives, like going through tape.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And I said, is there anyone else who did this?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Because it keeps on saying since two thousands, since two thousands,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So who did it in ninety nine and ninety eight?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And the answer was Pat stud Still did it in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. I said, who the is Pat stud Still.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So I I'm like, we gotta do a deep dive.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Who is Pat stud Still? I don't know. I know
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Lance Alworth, I know Jerry Rice, I know Steve Largin,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I know Randy Maws. I even I could tell you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a lot about Ernest Givens and Curtis Duncan and Webster Slaughter.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, do so many names. Rob Moore on the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Cardinals had some good year, Ricky prol on the Cardinals,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: ZERI we can go through all of the most random
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: wide receiver big breakout seasons, from Tory Holt to Aza
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Quem to Isaac Bruce to Rod Smith. Let we go
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to that. My brain works that way. Stud Still I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: did not know that name. I'd never heard of that name.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, who is Pat stud Still? So we
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: start doing some research. Let me tell you about Pet
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: stud Still. This is how most podcasts start. In week
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: eight at twenty twenty three, they say, let's go into
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a Pet stud Still deep dive. Studstill was an undrafted
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: player out of Houston goes to the Detroit Lions, where
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he is primarily a kick and punt returner for the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: first several years of his career. Nineteen sixty six, he
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: goes and has one of the great wide receiver seasons
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of all time. And this is back when they used
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to have the you know, the goalpost at the front
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of the end zone and they would play like twelve games.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Sixty six stud still went for sixty seven catches twelve
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in sixty six yards, which is like, you know, it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: like in today the milk. The price of milk, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: back then was straight down, so now it's all that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: The equivalent is like if a guy randomly I didn't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know where this year, came out and had like two
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: hundred catches and four thousand yards, Like that's what the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: numbers were for pet studs still, so I'm like, what
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the hell? Like who what did it?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: For?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: The Lions? Like a bad Lions team. He had a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: ninety nine yard catch in that game, So I'm like,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all right, So what was the rest of his career?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Heard his hamstring didn't do much. The rest of his
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: career at wide receiver was kind of irrelevant. But in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: sixty six, in addition to being the punt returner and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the kick returner, he picked up punting duties for the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions and was their full time punter. This wasn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the thirties when guys played both ways or the forties
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: where it's like we have seven running backs and a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: million dollar backfa year old. This is like late sixties,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: like Lombardi was coaching and Hank Stram was coaching, like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: this was like relevant. He was the team's number one
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: wi receiver and their full time punter. So that was
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: sixty six. They trade him to the Rams. He then
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: goes and has six more years in his NFL career
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: just as a punter. I'm like, who the hell is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this guy? Why has that not been a documentary on
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Pat stud Still? This is incredible. Led the league in punts,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: led the league in punts yardage, like the stat that's crazy.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Sixty two he leads the NFL and punt return yards,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sixty six, leads the NFL in receiving yards, and then
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in like sixty seven, he leads the NFL in most punts.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Was a two time pro bowler. Eventually retires in seventy one,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and then Aaron because this is just Pat stud Still
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and who he is. Then he goes on to become
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a very successful actor and he's in Dukes of Hazard
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and he's in two hundred different commercials, not two commercials,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: two hundred different commercials. And in nineteen seventy four, Burt
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Reynolds and the guys who put on the original Longest
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yard movie tapped Pat stud Still to work on the movie,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and he was the guy who did all the technical
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: football stuff. He was their guide. So on all these
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: sports movies, they'll have a technical guy to come on
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and be like, well, you wouldn't throw the ball that way,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and the line of scrimmage would actually be a little
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: bit lined up this way. The guard would be stud
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Still worked on the set for all those days on
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the Longest Yard production goes on, has this awesome acting career.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I had never heard of Pat stud Still. He eventually
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: passed in twenty twenty one. I was reading his obituary today.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They also said he was the last guy to resist
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: wearing the Ridell face mask, So he was wearing one
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of these old school helmets with an old school face
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: mask when the rest of the NFL was already moving
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: on in the sixties and seventies. I say all this
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to say the following. I've seen the docs. I've seen
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the thirty for thirties I've seen the Football Lives. We
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: know everything you could possibly know about Deacon Jones, about
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Tim Brown, about OJ Simpson, about Dion Sanders. I think
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: we need to executive produce a Pat stud Still documentary. Aaron,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: are you in ongoing deep on the life of stud Still?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We talk about stud Still as like the the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: origin of positionless players. Yeah, we get we get Debo
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in there, we get yeah Hill, Yeah, no, I love it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And then then after that we force each of them
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to re enact Dukes of Hazzard scenes too, to just
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: show out. I mean, I can't believe to do those
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: different positions and then also break into acting. Is that's
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a wild ride?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, the big story out of Kansas City this
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: past week was a little mentioned in Dave tab the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Special Teams coordinators press conference that you know with Tommy
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Townsend hurt. Pat Mahomes is our backup hunter, and it
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, dude, this guy was returning punts,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: returning kicks, playing why receiver and he was also in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: sixty six. He was their full time punter. So he's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: leading the NFL and receiving cards and was the best
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: punter in the sport. Gets hurt, and then it was like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm not going to play receiver anymore. I'll
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: just be a punter. We've probably spent four minutes too
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: long on Pat stud Still. But if if you're a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: fan of the season with Peter Schreger, you know this
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is the stuff you're here for. And it's knowledge like
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that and my quest to learn and my desire to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: become an expert on things like Pat stud Still. That
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: makes me a wonderful contestant on Jeopardy, Aaron, can I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: talk about it one more time if the listeners didn't
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: watch or listen last week, I am appearing on Celebrity
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Jeopardy this week and it's airing on Wednesday, October twenty
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: fifth at eight pm Eastern. It is on ABC, it
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: is in prime time. I am a contestant. It is
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: of the celebrity version. We discussed the celebrity aspect of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it last week. How uncomfortable I am with that word,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and yet I will wear it because it got me
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: onto the show. I would have never been able to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: compete with the actual people who are on Jeopardy. I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: not smart enough for that. But the celebrities, they are dumb,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: so I can. I can compete with celebrities. When you're
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: busy looking in the mirror most of your life and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: not searching Wikipedia and reading encyclopedias, you can get on
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: celebrity Jeopardy. So I competed. We recorded in August. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: have not revealed anything. I was wavering. I was like,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: do I go big and talk about it or do
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I just let it kind of appear. We talked about
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it last week. I've gotten so many responses, people being
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: blown away. I posted a photo on my Twitter feed
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of me at the Jeopardy podium. What do you call it?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: A podium? Were like, and I showed how I wrote
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: my name and I went capslock first name. A couple
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: of people were like, how do you not go shregs?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: How do you not go Schrager? That's what people call you.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Went with Peter in capslocks. It's the name my parents
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: gave me. And I'll say this, we're twenty four hours
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: from it airing or about that. We're recording this on Tuesday.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It's a showdown, bro. It goes to the wire and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it is epic and it's one of the best episodes
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that program. And it's one hundred years I've ever had,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: very proud of not only myself, but my two contestants,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: my opponents. They all did very well. It would be
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Mira Sorvino, who I have not spoken to since, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Adam Rodriguez, who I have not spoken to since. That's blood, bro,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: That's what it is like. Once you we left it
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: on the field. I honestly I thought walking out of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that that they I'm like, all right, these where the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: three of us are gonna be connected for life, Like
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have store. I haven't talked to either one
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of them since, so maybe after the show airs, we'll
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: rekindle the magic and the chemistry we had on the show.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: But it's an hour long. It's Celebrity Jeopardy. If you've watched,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: there is not only regular Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy, there's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Triple Jeopardy, so there's three different portions of it, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: then there's Final Jeopardy. I think I'll save some of
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the recap stuff till next week. I will just say this,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it's the coolest thing I ever got to do professionally.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And I've been on the field at Super Bowls and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I've interviewed everyone from Tom Brady to Patrick Mahomes, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I've gotten to meet crazy, cool and interesting people being
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: at that that set which they also film Wheel of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Fortune next door, which I didn't even know, like Merv
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Griffin birthed them both. I guess like they're they're in
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that same studio. Childhood memories and memories of all the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know, great hours of my college days spent on
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the couch but watching Jeopardy. But then also like the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: celebrity Jeopardy spoofs on Saturday Live with Will Ferrell and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Norm McDonald and you know, all of it, it all
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: comes flashing back, so very cool emotional experience and also
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just an awesome, awesome thing to say I have done.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And especially because last week you were saying how as
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a kid you would be sitting at the dining room
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: table watching Jeopardy with your family.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I wish kitchen table, table, kitchen. There was no dining
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: room that we dined.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: At, Sorry New York. Yeah, it's the same.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Thing, kitchen, kitchen, table with a little TV free Old
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, and it was my dad would walk in
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the door like six fifty seven, we'd sit down, there'd
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: be like a slice of candle lope we'd eat that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You probably have some London broil, and then it's oh, yeah,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: we've started a little Candleope, maybe a little grapefruit I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: can get.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: That's a little starter there. And then we would watch
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Jeopardy for a half hour, and then my brother and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I would scurry off into like another room and say
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: three your computer. Yeah, playing in the computer. That's what
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: we do. Uh. Wednesday night, October twenty fifth, eight pm

  Speaker 1: path and his journey, and time and time again, I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: reading awesome quotes and awesome stories and great encouragement from
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: his college coach, the great Ernie McCook out of Shepherd.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: So what we're doing the podcast this week? I'm like,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: what's the story of the week, what's it's I'm asking Aaron,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: who should we talk about? What if he's kept down?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Coming up? Tyson Pagent, Tyson Bagent, Tyson Vagent. So with
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: no further ado, let's get his college coach on the podcast,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Ernie McCook. Welcome to the season with Peter Schrager. Man.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Peter, it's great to be with you today, and we're
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: going to talk about probably two of my favorite things,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Sheppard University football and Tyson Beaging.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Let's start with Shepherd University football. So you're a coach
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: for a few years now. You had history with this
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: program before bouncing around a little bit and then coming
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: back to the school, what is Shepherd University? And I'm
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: not being insulting as an NFL guys being out of it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Where are you guys enrollment all the stuff? And then sure,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: what has this done for the program?
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Our address is West Virginia. The campus sits right
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: on the banks of the Potomac River. We're literally from
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: one end of a football field to the other end
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: of the football field from the state of Maryland. We're
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: hour and fifteen minutes out of Washington, DC and hour
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and fifteen minutes out of Baltimore. So we are able
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: to recruit as you're probably familiar with the DMV. Yeah,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: we recruited from Richmond to Baltimore off that ninety five corridor.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: And we want to recruit in state to be especially
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: locally in state. And we've had a lot of opportunities
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: to track some really good football players along with Tyson Beaging.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: You know, we've had some really guys that have gone
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: on and done some really good things playing at the
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: next level, but nobody has had quite the first game
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: like Tyson had on Saturday versus the Raiders.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And no one is invited to the Senior Bowl, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you had multiple guys invited to the Senior Bowl last year,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and I know you were there and you brought a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: whole cast of guys down there to Mobile. We'll go
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: backwards and start from the start with Jijan, but I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: think just just that experience when you go to the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Senior Bowl out of Division two school and Jim Nagy,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: who runs that thing, gives you guys the call. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: loved it because I heard it. I was listening to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: an interview I do my reaching for the podcast. You
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: had about four different coaches with you. Guys were finding
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: your way to the field. You're going to support your guy, Yeah,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: did you have any doubt that he would be able
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to light it up and do just fine against that
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Division one talent?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I got to tell you a story about when
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Jim Naggy called me. Right. So, I'm sitting right here
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: in my office, it's probably eight or nine o'clock at night,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: and you know what, I take it back. It was
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: the call for Joey Fisher, the second guy to get
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: called up. So I see this Arizona phone number and
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking, man, it's probably Scout wanting to come to practice.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: So I get him a call back. He goes, Hey,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: he said this, Jim Naggy is Senior Bowl coach. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: just wanted to tell you we're going to invite Joey
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Fisher to join Tyson Baiging at the Senior Bowl. And
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: he goes, just so you know, this will be the
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: first time in the history we think of the Senior
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Bowl that will have had two Division two players from
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the same team being playing the same game. And so
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: then he kind of he said, I kind of took
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: it all in and I said, you know, Jim, you're
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: gonna make me have to come to this game. Yeah,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: and then he was like, You're not gonna come just
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: for Tyson. And then I thought about how bad that
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: sounded on you too, and yeah, I mean it takes two.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: You got to take two of my guys, and that's
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: not true. But so I was really excited at that point,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: and I thought, Jim Naggy, you know, if you think
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: about Tyson's kind of climb. Uh, he took the first
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: real shot on Tyson Baging given him an opportunity to
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: play in the Senior Bowl. You know, there's a lot
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: of great quarterbacks out there. He went out on a
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: limb and took a Division two guy, and I think
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Tyson played extremely well in that game. Uh, it was
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: it was a lot of fun. We're sitting in the
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: staff meeting. We're a low budget football team, Pier all right,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: So where we're in the staff meeting and we we
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: have some recruiting things going on, and I tell I
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: tell our coaches like, Hey, I'm going to go to
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl, but I'm going to drive. So we
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: drove Westford, Gia to Mobile, right and I said, we'll
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: pay the football pay for the hotel room and the
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: rental car. You guys are on your own for your
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: meals and drinks. And we had five people volunteer, so
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: we loaded up in the suv. We made the trip
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: down to Mobile and of course being able to watch
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Tyson practice on the field there at South Alabama with
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: all the other guys. That was awesome. And it was
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl, I think is one of the greatest
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: events you could be a part of. And that may
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: have been as a proud of moment I had having
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: a chance to see Mike get our guy, our guy,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: and the Senior Bowl represent Sheppard University with the ram
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Horns on and playing what I think is the most
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: prestigious college All Star game there is.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, it absolutely is. Let's go way back, though, because
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it's not a necessarily it's it's a great Division two program,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: but it's not an NFL hotbed. So you're the coach
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: here when you start recruiting Tyson out of what's the
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: town he's from.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: It's in West Virginia, Martinsburg High School, and here in
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: West Virginia about seven miles.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Away, so it's close. It's in your backyard. He's probably
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this high school star. Like, how's that recruitment process going?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Did you know when he was a junior and senior
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that this kid could have a future.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Absolutely even better than that. I've known. I've watched Tyson
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: grow up. Our families go to church together, and I
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: will tell you from the time he played for the
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Charlestown Razorbacks. Okay, I'd be sitting in the pew, him
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: and his dad would walk by, w we're going up
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: for communion, and he would nudge me he's going to
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: be the man at Shepherd one day. You know, if
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you get a chance to talk to Travis, he'll tell you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: And one time he told what he used to tell me,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: You're going to build a bronze statue of Tyson one day,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: and of course you're in church, You're like, hey, that's awesome.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe great.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: You know, you know he's ten years old, eleven years
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: old at the time. Yeah, he was.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Probably eleven years old and just slinging around Charlestown and
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: everything like that. But you know, having known their family
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: and watch Tyson grow up, he is a special, special
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: person man. He is something I just can't say enough
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: great things about him as a human being. I mean,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: just as a man. We're going through the recruiting process
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: and you know, I knew that he was a division
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I thought he was a division one guy FBS, and
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: we're kind of going through it. I'm thinking he's going
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: to get something. But if he doesn't get something, you know,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: he'll have a spot with us if this is what
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: he wants. And the only offers he really got were
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: SCS offers. He got an FCF Albany and I want
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: to say Robert Morris and some other D two's and
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. Well, in twenty fifteen we played for
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: a national championship, and so I think he just looked
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: at it and said, hey, I get a chance to
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: stay at home play highly competitive football at the Division
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: two level. I get a chance playing in front of
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: family and friends. Like his grandfather, God Rest his soul
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: passed away last year, was really close to him. He
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: would sit in the stands and watch practice. His dad
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: would come and watch practices. I mean, it's just a
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: family affair here for the beagents at Shepherd University playing
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: football here and Tyson, I can tell you he'd sent
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: me a text. I texted him after the game this
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: weekend and he and I said, hey, man, we're proud
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: of you. We watched the game as a team, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: he goes, he said, hey, thanks to a support coach
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: really appreciated. I love Shepherd football, you know. And it
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: was just like here's a guy playing at a high level,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: achieving some of the goals that you know, dreams, dreams
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: that we all have, and he still has love for
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: this program that he was a part of and an
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: instrumental part of where we are today. So that, I mean,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: that was that was kind of a cool deal.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: When you get when you get this guy in there,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: he come like, give me some of the exploits, because
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: how you get to the Paul Bunyan tall tail. Was
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it just all right, here we go. This is Steve
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: McNair at Alcorn or one of these types of guys
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: at a different level of school. Just tear it up
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the league.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what his first game it was against
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Nerdame College. Okay, it was a true freshman and Julia McLoughlin,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: the running back at with the Broncos.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Right now goes yeah, Youngstown State, sure, Well before.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: That he was at Nerdame College. Him and Tyson, both
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: their college stars, were in the same game. I think
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Julil rushed for almost three hundred yards. Tyson threw for
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: five hundred yards. Two guys that right now are are
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: up and coming guys are had shows some things in
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: the NFL. When recruiting Tyson, I can tell you his dad.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: His dad's hardcore.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Now his dad is arm wrestling champion, the arm.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Wrestling champion, the whole deal. Yeah, we're going through the
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: process of the recruiting before he commits to US. I
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: told you I go to church with him. Here's a
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: fun story for you. So Christmas Eve, my family and
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I were getting late. Okay, so there's only a couple
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: of seats in the back of the church right and
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: my family and I slide into the pew, and of
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: course I'm I'm a football coach, and I want to
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: recruit Tysonvaging even on Christmas Eve at church all right,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: because he's he was an All state player, He's the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: best player in state West Virginia. And so I'm looking around.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for where he's at, where he normally sits,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: the whole deal. And then I look up, you know,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: we're up for a hymnal and I see where him
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: and his dad are sitting. And then I see right
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: behind the pew is empty. There's nobody sitting in the
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: pew right behind him. So without even I didn't try
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and even tell my wife anything, I just walked out
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: of arm keew.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I walked around, went right down the middle of the church,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and our pastor, our priest, was like, I was wondering
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: what you did until you sat down. You know, he goes,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: what the hell? He was probably like, what is Ernie
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: doing walking up here to the altar? But no, I
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: was walking in. I slid right in behind Tyson and
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: his dad, Travis, put my arm around him both, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I said, hey, God, meant for us to be together.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: And so then he and so his dad without missing
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: a beat, said hey man, it's about time you got here.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: We've been saving that ce for you for twenty minutes.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Let's go. It's so good.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: That was a lot of fun with that. I tell
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: that story quite a bit, so, you know, back to
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the serious part. So Tyson commits. So he signs with
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: us his senior year in high school, wearing our spring practices. Right,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: we have fifteen spring practices. Tyson is standing behind the
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: offensive huddle for every practice. He would he was at.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: As a high school senior.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: As a high school senior knowing I'm coming to Sheppard University,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I know I'm going to play and I'm going to
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: compete to be the quarterback, and he was taking it
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: all in. He was he was doing everything he could
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: do to learn, and so he's ready when he would
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: get to camp in August. And the guy is absolutely
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: nomenal with his work ethic and his competitiveness. He's somebody
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: that you know won I can tell you Chicago Bears,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: the fan base, they will be proud that that dude
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: is a Bear. He's going to give everything he can
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: to help that team win. And I think I told
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: somebody else an interview. If he's on their practice squad,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: all right, he's going to give the best look for
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the Justice. He's going to be the best Justin Herbert. Yeah,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: but for this weekend that the Bears defense will see
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: and tell you see Justin Herbert, you know. But the
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: fact that I think he worked his way into being
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the backup and he prepares like nobody else does. After
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: OTA's this year and the summertime we get back. His
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: first day back, we were having our program, our team
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: golf outing, so he played in it. He came and
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: played in it with a couple of his teammates and
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: my son was who's coaching with us now. He and
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Tyson were roommates. They're really close friends. So he said, hey, Michael,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I need you to guarantee you'll be with me at
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: every workout. So Michael would go to the workouts with him,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: but Peter, they would practice, Michael would read the script
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: to him through the cell phone into his ear the
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: long play call. He would then be out in the
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: middle of our football field in the stadium, just the
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: two of them, by himself. He would walk into an
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: imaginary huddle, do the play call, walk up to the
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, put people in motion, practice the checks,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: everything like that. He did it in June and July.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I did it for six weeks.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: So we got one hundred degree weather in the middle
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: of West Virginia in July, and your son his former
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: wide receiver in his roommate.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: It was a fool back, guy back.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Sorry, I'm making up history because I'm
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: trying to do the movie script in my head. He
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: plays he plays a wide out in the movie. He
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: calls on a cell phone from where's your son? Is
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: he there with the Is he like in the stands?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Whereas no, he's standing on the sideline. So just like
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: like so he would have a script right now out
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: here like this, and he would go.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: As if he has the helmet, oh.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Deuic's right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's reading Luke Getzi's playbook. He's got the Bear's playbook.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: He's got to play a bear's play call. So what
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: he's doing is he is simulating the mental preparation of
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: the length of a play call, because the play calls
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: are unbelievably long.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, And then like you know, and.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, talking to Tyson and all I'm learning
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: a bunch of myself, like the different checks, how they're
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: checking things, the things they look for. And but when
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: a guy is doing that, think about this one for
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: a second. You're an undrafted free agent. You don't even
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: know if you're going to make the team.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: You know, unlikely you would, Yeah.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Especially at the quarterback puisition. He goes and he's doing
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: this all summer long. So if my son went to
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: the beach on family vacation, they did it by telephone, right,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: And so your son.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Is at the beach being like a slug o snake, right,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: name call, and Tyson's on an empty field in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: middle of West Virginia just going through the Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: And then when Tyson went to the beach, he would
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: go probably go out on the beach and practice it,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: through with it. He did this religiously, you know. So
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the guy is a film room junkie. I to you know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I read the social media. But one of the one
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: of the Chicago stations asked me who I thought he was, Like,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: who do you think you know? And everybody wants you
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: to say Tom Brady, They want you to say Brock Party,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: they want you. They want that, right, they want that
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: to me. From what I've learned and studying football, Tyson
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: beagent is Drew Brees go on because the reputation Drew
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Brees has for the tireless film study, the unbelievable work
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: ift that you have to prepare for any situation that
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: you get. That's who Tyson Beaging is. He will prepare
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: and work. He's going to physically train his body. When
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: he talked about shredding life way and crossfitfit, yeah, that's
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent accurate. Like, if you're ever in this area,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: you need to come visit Shepard University because behind our
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: locker room, his high school history teacher has got it
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: lives back there, right, and they have a man cave
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: CrossFit training that they do. I mean it's like all natural,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: like you're taking a log and your bench press on
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: a log fifty times. Then you're running to the river
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: with a weighted backpack and back and this they do.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: That's the kind of stuff he does. They they they
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: hollowed out We're right on the banks of the Potomac River.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Tyson and his roommates hollowed out a stream for to
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: make it a cold bath.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: A homemade cold tub, a homemade.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Cold tub on the Potomac River, and they they would
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: go down there in February. I mean, we're not talking
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: July where they're pulling off. They're going down there and
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: really going through it. I mean, just the things, like
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: the natural things that happen.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Well, even you mentioning that, you know, I'm thinking about
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Alabama and LSU's facilities in the amount of millions, of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's his high school. His high school
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: teacher leaves behind the facility and he's I mean, you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: can't make the stuff up.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: You can't. And his high school teacher played basketball here, right, Okay,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: saw the Earth guy just a tremendous person, human being,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: And of course he's a good hope for us to
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: have because when you know, we recruit somebody from the
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: high school, we're getting inside scoop on them, you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: like what kind of with their hearts, like with their
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: who they are inside? And you know, of course he
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: the guys that we've gotten from Tyson's high school, and
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: because of Tyson have been tremendous players for us. But like,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: here's an other thing, how competitive Tyson is? All Right,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: So his junior year, the year he won the Harlan Hill.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Right after every practice in summer camp, all right, mostly
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: of summer camp. You know, we'd be walking off the field.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Enticon are one of our athlete trainers as a gymnast, right,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: and they would have a competition, who on who could
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: walk on their hands the farthest, and they were doing
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: fifty to seventy five yards walking on their hands. I
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: mean literally, I wish I had video of it, you know.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: And I'm just sitting there thinking, and I can't tell
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: the dude stop because he's just competitive. He's not gonna
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: you know, no, I'm not gonna let her beat me.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: And you know, but she's now an athlete trainer in
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: another school. When we talked about it before the game. So,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: but that's who the kid is. I mean he is.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: He is a special guy. He's as grounded as grounded
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: could be. He has an impeccable work ethic. He you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: not only was he the best player on our football
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: team for five years, he was the best teammate, the
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: best teammate. You could have never wanted anything extra. You know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: he threw he threw a milestone touchdown, right and we're
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: at Millersville University and he goes, he comes up to me,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: he goes, and this is his junior year. He goes, coach,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: that was like hundred touchdown passed. He goes, can I
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: have the game ball?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: You know, first time, right?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, you can have whatever you want, tyson,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: but do me a favorite. Just give it to the
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: manager to give to your dad, because I don't want
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: to draw a lot of attention to giving game balls
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: away because they're seventy millonuns apiece.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we need that money.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: That's so good.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: And then that night his dad sent me a video
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: of him giving that game ball to his grandfather who's
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: passed away. He was really close to him.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Jeez, I'm gonna cry. That's amazing. The on the field exploits,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, the leadership stuff, that's all off the charts. Yeah,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: was this guy tearing up the vision two I you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: obviously we started seeing footage, the grainy footage, and we
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: don't even know the start of it. You lived it.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: What was it like having him as your quarterback? And
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: what kind of stuff did he do?
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Well? This is a story I'd like to tell. His
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: freshman year as the starter. All Right, we're playing the
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: last game of the season. We're seven and two, and
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: we end up losing the game. All right, And you
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: know we're in a small stadium. You can hear people
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: heckling you. You can hear people giving you grief. People
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: are yelling at the quarterback. You know, you know he's
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: taking a sack. I'm wondering why he didnt get rid of
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: the ball, Like, what'd you see? Because Coach, that was
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: on me. We couldn't run the football through this whole time.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Everybody's pointing fingers. But one guy, Tyson Beaging. He is
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: a team first guy. He'll own everything that happens to
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: the team and put it on his shoulders, his back.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: And I realized that that's the kind of we have
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: to go and put the best players around them we
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: possibly can. And that was our goal from there on out.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Make sure he had the receivers that he needed, the
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: O line that We tried to do everything we could
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: do to build that team. Every team we've had since
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: his freshman year around Tyson Baigent and his strengths and
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: what he could do. And I thought we did a
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: pretty good job of that. We were able to win
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of all games. He broke a lot of records,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: and he's done with multiple receivers. The guy has an
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: uncanny ability to make people around them better. We had
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: a receiver going from his freshman year had eight catches
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: to ninety nine catches the next year because he worked
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: all summer with Tyson Baging and they had a great
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: connection together. So going it's a ninety catch difference because
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Tyson believed in them, and he believed in Tyson and
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: they were on the same page. I mean, want just
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: one of many examples he made. He made alignment better,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: he made running backs better, he made tight ends better,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: wide receivers better, he made our defense better, the whole deal.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: And it's all game to him too, Like it's a
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: competitive everything's a competitive game. We do a blitz pick up, right,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: We do like to start practice off once a week
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: and a blitz pickup. And he just would love to
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: do the dummy cases.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Get me in there.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he went, he put, he would go, I would
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: stay up, he standing right next to him, go ready,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: and then he would look at and go, ah, there
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: you are, Mike, Mike six, Mike six, and you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: and but it was a it was a challenge for
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: him that every challenge he wants that he'll he'll accept.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: All right, So we go to the draft process. Senior
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Bowl is amazing, he plays well, he's with you know,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: he's in front of the Bears staff gets he's there,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. But then the draft comes along and
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: he goes undrafted. Was that a great disappointment? Were you
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: guys surprised? And I'm sure sure you spoke to thirty
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: two NFL teams.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'll tell you what our tackle who's
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: on the practice squad with the Steelers, Joey Fisher. Yeah,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: and that after that draft happened, I mean immediately after
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: it ended, I said, if these two, either one of
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: these two guys don't get drafted, we'll never get in
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: by drafted. Yeah, and that that's really how I feel.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: But I also understand, like when you get to the
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: later rounds, the sixth and seventh round, sometimes you're better
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: being a free agent because you get a chance to
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: pick you and your agent picked the best spot for you.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: And that's what happened. You know, I think we're we're awful.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: We're fortunate that Tyson didn't get drafted, was able to
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: sign that free agent deal with the Bears because he
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: seems to be in the right place at the right time. Obviously,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: luketzk the Bears offensive staff knew who he was from
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl, had confidence in him, and you know,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I just think he's in I think he's in a
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: good spot.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And to take it full circle, in a couple
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: of days, Chris Collinsworth and Mike Turrico are going to
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: be saying his name and calling it. I mean, is
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: this not surreal? That that that that a year ago
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: at this time he was playing with you guys going
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: up against Bloomsburg, and now he's got you know, Joey
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Bosa and Khalil Mack and Derwin James staring down at
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: him with Tarico and Collinsworth on the call.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Well, like I told you, I got a chance to
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: watch the first half. You know, we did it as
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: a team and before we started our team meeting and
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, And I can tell you when I watched
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: that game, I kept finding out where Crosby was. I
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: was like, because I didn't want that dude to get
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: a free shot on my guy.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Man, I was really impressed with the Bear So I
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: thought they did a great job. I thought, you know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: they Tyson handled his role the right way. The running
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: game that they had. Uh, the one catch that I
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: thought it was DJ Moore had it was a ball
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: that was kind of sailing on Tys. I thought that
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: he made a great catch. I was really happy for Chicago.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: And of course I'm I'm a Bears fan now, so
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: I gotta I'm all in with the Bears.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Ravens, it it's not your year. Yeah, this is
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: going to be a Bears fan and I am.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I am a Ravens fan.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you are. I'm sure you are. In closing,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: talk about your school, your program, and not only what
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Tyson has brought as far as the national spotlight goes
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: with some of the great stuff that you guys are doing.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Because this isn't a flash in the pen. You guys
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: are winning, franchise, winning program. It happened for years.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Shepherd is a special place. We can really attract a
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: lot of really good players to come to Shepherd because
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: of the culture of our program. You know, we battled
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: the portal and division one offers with both Joey and Tyson,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: and you know, I know it's my job to create
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: a culture where guys don't feel they have to leave.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: They only can leave if it's a much better situation
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: for him. But you know when I want to you know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: we just had homecoming last weekend, and when you get
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: a chance to look at all the former players that
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: come back that you've had opportunity to coach, you realize
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: that we just have a really good spot here where
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: football is important to our administration. Football is important to
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: the local area. We get tremendous support, like our environment
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: for our home football game as the two greatest days
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: on our campus our graduation in a home football game
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: and graduations number two. So I mean, it's it's an
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: exciting day on our campus when we play at home,
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: and we have a tremendous fan base. We have a
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: unbelievable access to a lot of really good players within
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: a two and a half hour raineus of our campus,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's fun for me and I think
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: our coaches to work somewhere and coach the game where
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: it's important to a lot of people.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: You got Bloomsburg this weekend. Give us a little preview
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: on the season with Peter Schreger. We're all going to
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: be checking our phones, give us a preview. What have
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: they got? Who are you and who are we looking at?
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Well? You know what right now, bloom is we're going
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: to be on the road, so it's a tough place
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: go play. Uh. You know, if you were to look
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: at the tap, if you look at just stats and
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, you would think it's going to be
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: an easy victory for us. It's not. We're gonna have
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: to play well. We're gonna have to what I'd like
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: to say, make the ordinary play extraordinary. You know, they
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: just do the little things right the bank things will
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: take care of themselves, handle adversity when it comes, because
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have some type of adversity, and just play
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: with each other and don't look at the scoreboard, don't
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: look got just play the game and make the ordinary
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: play and I think we'll be just fine.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna give you
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: some advice here. And this is me as a media
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: guy and a big talking head in a New York
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: hot shot. You guys finished that game against Bloomsburg. Coach,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what money you got in the piggy bank.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: You gotta fly out to la, you gotta watch your
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: boy in person Sunday night. Can we get there?
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: There's no way because we got we got a big
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: one the next week, and we're gonna be in the
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: office Sunday morning. But but my last night, my wife goes,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: She goes, well, I said, it's Sunday night football. Well, no,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: we're going to try and hit one one of our
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: seasons over. But she was like, we should have a party.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I said, we can't have a party. No, we can't
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: have a party. And she kind of says, well, I'll
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: just invite my girlfriend's over. So my wife is going
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: to probably have a little watch party herself, but everybody
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: will be excited. You know. The best thing, Tyson's brother, Ezra,
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: is a cool freshman quarterback in our program. Really yeah,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: and he had a great career in Martinsburg as well,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: and he's here with us. And I called his dad
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: about midweek once I realized that Tyson was going to start,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: and I said, hey, make sure you take Ezra out there.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, missed the game to go. He went and did both.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: No, he played the game, played in the game, actually
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: got its first college completion on Saturday. Let's agent. Yeah.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: And then after the game, went to the airport, flew
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: and men his parents and family in Chicago and was
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: there with Tyson and the family and friends.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just an awesome family and you know what,
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: they're easy people to root for. I promise you that one.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: So are you, my friend, Ernie. This was so cool,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Coach Ernie McCook Shepherd University. What an amazing world when
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: this has been And yet you sound as natural and
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: as non surprised as it could ever be. It seems like,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: not to get too religious with you, but it feels
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: like this was in the stars and you kind of
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: saw this happen in a long time ago.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: You know, I truly believe in the blessings of life
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: that we have. And I do a radio show on
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Thursday nights, and two weeks ago it was West Virginia
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: playing Houston and I'm sitting there and of course the
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: one guy is a West Virginia longe that does the
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: radio show, and I said, man, there's my favorite West
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Virginia coach of all time. And you know that's like
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: sacriligious there if it's not don Kneeling, you know, looked
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: at me sideways. I said, yeah, Stana Holderson.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but I said he's my favorite because he
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: didn't offer Tyson baiging coming out of high school.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: There you go, that's a great way to do it.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, Dana, he's a good coach. Okay, go on,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: it's yeah, that's a great story. Yeah, that's a great story.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: You're a follow them dude. This is awesome, Ernie. Thank you,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: get back to practice. Loved having you on the season.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Peter Shager, and good luck this weekend against Bloomsburg.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun, Ernie.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: But Cook, I mean, that's that's interesting. And when he
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: starts talking about weightlifting logs and building your own cold
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: tub in twenty twenty one out of the shores of
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the Potomac, like, this is what I'm here for.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: That was one hundred percent not what I was doing
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: in the woods when I was in high school.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: I can guarantee you that I'm sure.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: No. It was actually college, which is even crazy, like
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the fact that he's in college and he's still it's
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: still as like and it's nothing against the Division two program.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: It's not Alabama, it's not Ohio State. It's like, go
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: walk on your hands and challenge the trainer. I want
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: to make it bigger than he it is, maybe because
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: these are sophisticated programs and there he won the Heisman
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: of the Division two, but like it is really, really,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: really big, long shot stuff when you're going from Division
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: two undrafted to starting in the NFL and on Sunday night.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: So as much as we saw mister Irrelevant last year,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: brock Birdy was a superstar in the state of Arizona
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and started Iowa State for four years, this guy's story
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: is way crazier.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: And he won with the Bears. I mean, like, it's
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: that just here's a UDFA who started a game because
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: of injury. It's a UDFA who wound up making the
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: team and then took them to a victory, which I mean,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: you know, Josh Allen didn't take his team to a
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: victory this week, So.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, Sky's the limit for him. That was cool.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Ernie McCook I like him. As we are wrapping up
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: with him, he like it was like, here's my Twitter handle.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, Ernie, let's go, let's take the best.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: We got to maximize this moment. Barn They're my official
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Division two teams, So Arizona is my official Division one team.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Checking on Arizona. I know they took USC to the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: wire then I think they won one against Washington State.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: What's Arizona's record? How are we looking with Jed Fish's boys.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Jed's been a great friend of the pod and his
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: clip went crazy viral and was a great episode if
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: you go back as a coach at Arizona. What do we got?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Their overall is four and three, they're two goal team.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Who'd they play this past weekend? Or were they on the.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: By this past weekend? They played Washington State and they
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: won forty four to six. They won, they lost, they won,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: they won? Yes, I think it was USC.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Was it two weeks ago?
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: The four? Yeah, that's they didn't do anything this weekend?
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: They buyed all right? So who do they got this weekend?
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Oregon State?
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Any good? Click on?
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Oregon State? Beavers are six and one. They're the eleventh
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: ranked team. So Arizona is currently a one score underdog
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: versus Oregon State.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: So here's our viewing. Okay, are you ready for this?
• 48:00

• 48:06
  Speaker 1: gonna rot for coach McCook. We're gonna get some Ezra
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Bagent fantasy numbers up and going. And then I assume
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Oregon State Arizona is one of these late night affairs.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we we have plenty of time. The Bloomsburg game
• 48:18

• 48:31
  Speaker 1: the big ones for us, we're gonna book end it
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: with Bloomsburg versus Shepherd. I'm going with Shepherd. Shepherd big
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: because coach said, you know, on paper, we're gonna they
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: look like we're gonna kick their butts. But no, no,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: that means you're gonna kick their ass. We're gonna take
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Shepard and I got Arizona upsetting Oregon State late at night?
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: What's it on ESPN or Packed twelve network? What do
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: we got to say that in network?
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Pack twelve pac twelve? Uh?
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Did you see the clip that was going viral of
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the seedw game that you wudn't c was playing Virginia?
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Do you see that or no, So UNC is playing
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Virginia on the seed W and you know they do
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the inn game promos and only so the announcer, the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: play by play guy, very seriously, He's like, all right,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: and it's fourteen seven Virginia.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Are you watching the show f Boy Island?
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: And I think James Bates is the color guy who
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I know. And James like, he's like, well, everyone else
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: is f Boy Island on the CW. You can't make
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: it up? All right? Time for our Uber Eats segment.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: They are our sponsors the season with Peter Schrager is
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: delivering results presented by Uber Eats. And I'm gonna tell
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: you who I think delivered results last week, and that
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson. I think Lamar Jackson had his best
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: game as a pro this season. He was unbelievable. He
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: was calm in the pocket and he looked like an
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: MVP candidate. What the Ravens did to the Lions completely
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: shifted the narrative and not only the AFC, but the
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: NFC as well. We were riding a bandwagon and we
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: were all up on board of what Detroit was doing
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: that had suddenly come to a halt in maybe a
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: derailment based on what exactly Baltimore did to them, and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is what Lamar is doing in
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Todd Munkins offense. The week before, a lot of drops
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: by his receivers. This week, Mark Andrews showed out on
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: National tight Ends Day. Agalore was all over the field.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Bateman was making big plays. Say Flowers of course was
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: everywhere and you'd love to see Odell Beckham a part
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: of the offense. So kudos to Lamar. Let's see if
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the Ravens can keep it going. That was delivering results
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: presented by Uber Eats, where you can get almost almost anything.
