and change your your accent to to your voice. I'm
(05:06):
so happy to be here, y'all's new coaches, to bring
my family here. What what do y'all think about this?
Brian Kelly deal man, let's jump into that. Uh. Brian
Kelly obviously left his position with the Notre Dame, uh,
the Irishman, the Golden Domers UH to take that large
deal with L. S U. He's not finishing the season.
(05:30):
He passed God, he did not collect two hundred dollars.
He went straight to L s U. He said, I'm
sorry to his players, but but the hell WHI y'all,
I'm gonna go ahead and do what I need to
do in this scenario. In this situation, now, I thought
that the entire world was on the side of Chip Kelly,
or excuse me, Brian Kelly um being kind of off
(05:52):
on the way he handled this. Obviously. We had some
strong uh conversation about it during the week on on
to two pros and a couple of Joe with Brady
Quinn being a former player. Plexico, I'm interested in your
opinion on it, but DJ I heard some of what
you were thinking and people might be surprised at what
(06:12):
your your conclusion was and I don't know what plex
falls on it. So let's go. I'll say this, I
have zero problem with Brian Kelly leaving and the way
he did. Yeah, I have no problem with it. It's like,
what do you want him to do? I know I'm
going to l s U. This is the school that
I'm going to. So I'm gonna wait, Well, I can't
(06:36):
they and jeopardized recruits for the school that I'm going
to be coaching. And so no, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna especially when you're give me a hundred million,
You give me a hundred million dollars. Players got to
understand Brian Kelly can still care for you and make
that decision like, oh, I'm gonna coach the team in
(06:58):
the ball game. Eventually it's gonna get out that he's
going to l s U. And then how was he
going to look like all this? Oh he was on
a recruiting trip. Well he was. He just so happened
to be on a recruiting trip when his agent told him, Man,
we we got a hunter a million, and so it
came out, I haven't you wait? Why would you wait?
(07:21):
Because if they want you that bad and they're gonna
offer you that much money. Why would you got an
opportunity to make it into the playoffs and they're not
making it, But they got an opportunity to if iow
up beats, I got an opportunity right now to go
kill Vegas and Blackjack. I'm probably not gonna do it,
just like we killed it the last time. Right nowhere,
(07:45):
it's like he's stupid. Why why is it early SIMI period?
Like he's the coach of l s U. I need
to solidify. I need to solidify that. And so do
I care about Notre Dame? Yes, site dude, but now
I'm the l s U head coach. I need to
solidify this early signing period. And sorry Notre Dame if
(08:06):
you feel a certain type of way about it. I
handled it how I wanted to handle it, not how
the alumni and the administration and the players wanted me
to be. Okay with burning that bridge, you can't go
back over it. Burning the bridge. That's a burnt bridge.
He blew it up, and this was his last coaching stop.
He blew the bridge up and took a plane to
(08:29):
l there was another bridge, burning the bridge. I'm not coaching, Oh,
once I leave L s U. I've done. This is
a million Me and my family gonna enjoy it. That's
what it's turning. The bridge sounds like support of what
t J is saying. Plexico. Listen, great minds, think alike,
support one because guess what I experienced this. It was
twenty years ago. We were nine and two football teams.
(08:53):
We'd be Oregon. You don't even like we beat We
can't stay in State. You don't even like You don't
even like State all in one season. You don't even
like him. Nick Saban called an im meeting, emergency team meeting.
On a Wednesday. He said to us in the indie facility,
(09:15):
he said, listen, I know you guys are hearing all
the rumors about me going to L s U. I'm
not leaving. The next day he was gone to take
this Saturday before, when we beat Penn State the last
game of the season, why keeping reps walked into the
locker room and Nick Saban said to us, how would
(09:37):
you like the guys like to go to the Citchs Bowl.
We went crazy. He was gone before the next Saturday,
didn't say how well, listen, I will say this. They
called this man a trader, the hypocrisy of Bryan Kelly.
Brady Quinn called him classless. He's wrong classes But I
(09:58):
will say this, this man a hundred million dollar contract
to coach college football. Five hundred thousand every year bonus
if he's on, If he's coaching after July one, five
thousand bollus. If he goes to a bowl game, two cars,
(10:20):
one point two million dollar house. If he goes to
a national championship, it's a five thousand, five dollars increase
on his contract every year that is coaching the team.
Nobody's turned. There's a negotiation, it's time to go, and
(10:41):
he's taking note to Dame as far as he can
possibly go. Come on, man, listen, he's taking far as possible.
When they made what happened everything, every time they played
what happened, I would have what aspect for Notre Dame.
If they joined the conference, it's gonna be it's gonna
be almost impossible every time playoff what happened. They got
their but they lost, and you know what happens. You're

Sports Book in the Mandalaid Bay and one of our
favorite cities, guys. I mean, I think it's everybody's favorite city,
Las Vegas, the Gray this arena on Earth, peeps. No
(23:02):
one does sports like Vegas, and the excitement is endless.
It was an endless excitement last night. I didn't want
to go to sleep, but I had to make sure
that I got my rest and got my sleep to
make sure that everything was what it was supposed to
be for today and doing what it is that we
need to do for this fair here show. So before
(23:23):
we get to the update, guys, um, I gotta ask
you guys about about the the whole chef we ate
good last night. We tend to trust the chefs that
cooked the food for us. I mean, imagine they could
poison you. You know, they could do a whole lot
of things. Back in the day, they used to have
food testers, you know what I mean, like make sure
that your drink was good, make sure that your food
(23:44):
was good. Maybe they need to have hiring testers now,
Like can I trust you to come into my home
and be in my home and cook for me and
see what goes along in my house and see what
what I say and see what I do? Because now
a B is in a three ain't suspension the ultimate betrayal? Oh?
Come on, talk to me, man, what you got You
let people into your home, They cook your food, they
(24:07):
sit at your table, they break out the plates, and
they betray you. I mean, if you're if you're blessing
up to happen, if you're blessing out to have a
chef coming to your house and cook for you. That's
almost like having a barber coming to your house. And
we all know the people that are around you are
the people that you tend to open up to and
tell your personal business to be able to due to
this man and give him a job. I mean, you're
(24:30):
cooking his food and and and he does that to him.
He uh, it's abotaged my guy, Buddy, buddy is a
snake that the chef is a snake. Let me ask
you this, what's the difference between Antonio Brown's situation and um,
what's the difference? I can tell you. I can tell
(24:50):
you the difference. My opinion obviously is it. I can't
wait to hear this. A b falsified that he was vaccinated.
Aaron Rodgers didn't say to the league, Aaron Rodgers deceived
the public. He didn't deceive. It not a lie because
he didn't know it was a lie. It was a
(25:12):
different lie. He didn't no, no, no, no no, it was
a different The Green Bay Packers knew that Aaron Rodgers
wasn't vaccinated, but we didn't know. It doesn't matter what
we know that the team and the league knew. The
team no, no, the team. Let me put it to sleep. No,
(25:33):
I'll put it to sleep. Though. If you present a
card and it's a it's a falsified thought ab was vaccinated.
But but here's the thing. If you present a card
and it's a fake card, you're breaking the law. That's
you broke the law. That isn't just a yeah, but
but you've broken the law. So now you've broken a rule.
That's a team rule. This is once they once they
(25:53):
found out that that was a falsified document, not because
the Green Bay hackers. He deceived the public. He didn't
deceive the team, and he didn't break any laws teams new.
Now let let me why did the chef I want
to tell this information was trying They don't employ you
(26:16):
trying to So that's how was it? Because I read
that he was old ten thousand dollars and Abe didn't
want to pay them. If that is true, man, that
ten grand, just go ahead and get it to him,
because now you've been suspended three games. That's over some
specim eg that got to be the best chef ever
(26:39):
them biscuits tastes some biscuit? What what do you say?
What do you see happening in the future, would they be,
because Bruce Arians when they signed him, he said, Abe,
mess up, He's gone. Listen. I think I think this situation,
it really just pulled the rug from under my guy,
hurt ankle, and I don't think he can come back
(27:03):
from this. I asked the same question, the get rid
of him during this three game suspension. I don't believe.
I don't. I don't think. I don't think be a will.
I think that's his ship. I know him as a person.
I think that's his only set. He's gonna let be
finished the season and it's a wrap. It's gonna be
a REP after this, no doubt about. Nobody else gonna
you think this is it thought nobody will sign him.
(27:23):
I think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be
a REP. I mean, he's still a first better Hall
of Famer. I don't know. And here's why. Here's why.
Here's why. Not not body or what you neplect. You
know this. It's not gonna be his body. You know this.
It's not gonna be his body, or work be everything else.
It's gonna be everything else. T O was not the first.
He not even gonna be second ballot. He might have
(27:46):
to wait. I'm telling he might have to wait because
the same shame on y'all, everybody, everybody in the Hall
of Fame. Shame on y'all, you know, for what he
perceives may happen. Unbelievable. You know who doesn't have to wait? Man,
I a glowing crime. He ain't gonna wait. You know
why he's not gonna wait. We got the updates. Don't
wait what we got. I appreciate that, LaVar. I'm just
(28:08):
I'm just wondering. Did did my invitation to join you
guys in Vegas get lost? They said you didn't want
to come with you and Sam wanted to stay back.
He said you two needed to hold down the fort
back at Oh so I don't know. I haven't heard
that you guys backpedal like that since the combine and
(28:31):
I don't. I don't. Yeah, I run by the guys
that Yeah, Speaking of guys who are going to be
in the one Combine, the Big Twelfth Championship game underway
a T and T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, and Oklahoma State
has a three to nothing lead over Baylor. They have
five minutes in forty seconds left to play in the
(28:51):
first quarter, and that when busy morning fellas in the NFL,
the Pittsburgh Steelers announcing today they've activated star linebacker t J.
Watt from the COVID list of clears him to play
tomorrow against the Ravens what was originally put on the
COVID lift on Monday. Jeremy Fowler reporting that the Seahawks
will be activating newly signed running back Adrian Peterson off
the practice squad for Sunday's game against the San Francisco
(29:13):
forty And I is gonna save one other NFL tidbit
for you guys coming up in just a moment, but
also want to mention big news in the NBA this morning,
with Charlotte Hornets today placing four players in health and
safety protocols LaMelo Ball, Terry Rosier, Mason Plumley, and Jalen McDaniels.
Adrian war Danowski reporting the Hornets today sent players and
(29:33):
staff home from their practice facility, and finally, guys, one
detail to add your Antonio Brown conversation. Tom Pellicero of
NFL Media reported a short time ago that the NFL
initially considered suspending Brown and his two teammates six to
eight games for their COVID protocol violations before they settled
(29:56):
on three game suspensions. With that, let's go back to
you guys in Vegas must be nice. It is. It
is nice, yeah, and you know what else is is
nice when we get to hear our man James Jackson
from Straight Facts from up On Game Presents do his thing,
(30:16):
check us out. It's now time for I'm On Your Head.
It's like I'm on your Head with James Jackson. Yes, sir,
what's going on y'all? A't your boy? James Jackson. Welcome
back to another edition of I'm On Your Head, presented
(30:38):
by the up On Game Network and Fox Sports Radio.
As always, make sure to go check me out on
Instagram at the real Underscore Jimmy j from my Shaky
Baby videos and my content there. But oh geez, LaVar
plex t J. I'm sorry I couldn't be there live today,
but this doesn't take any any you know, any effect
on what's going on right now. And you know what's
real shaky to me, that's being ranked number were one
(31:00):
in the NFL coming into this season and now at
this point in the year, not even leading your own
Division l A. Rams, I'm on your head now. You
can move from St. Louis to l A with the
palm trees and sunshine, man, But it's still a cold
world out here. Baby. There's three game losing streak that
they're on right now kind of negates that three game
winning streak that they had right before it. And my
(31:22):
focus is on the defense because you're come into this year.
You were the number one right defense in the league.
Last year, you returned everybody, and then you add somebody
like von Miller midway through the season. It should be immaculate,
right And this last, this three game skid, it's not
looking good. They gave up first twenty to Tennessee, nearly
thirty to Tennessee, gave up thirty one to San Francisco,
(31:42):
that's a divisional opponent, and then thirty six get hung
up on them by Green Bay and there get right game.
How plex say it with me? Man? You know that's shakey, baby,
and a lot of attention is gonna go on Matt
Stafford probably rightfully so. And let me get this out
the way. Matt Stafford is leaps and bound head and
shoulders far in a way a better quarterback than Jared Golf.
(32:04):
But the Rams did go to a Super Bowl with
Jared Golf at the helm, right, So Matt Stafford, please
don't let Jared goofy have a better season at any
point than you do with the Rams. Man gotta live
up to potential. And that sideline getting a little restless too.
I can see the tension and boiling over there, just
like some Rams button heads with each other already. Now
(32:25):
y'all might play in the City of Angels, but y'all
battling y'all demons right now, Los Angeles Rams, I'm on
your head. Well, I gotta save We're We're gonna talk
about the Cowboys soon here and what they have going on.
They were on a three game losing skid as well,
looking at looking at this Rams team. They've lost to
(32:47):
the Titans, now they've lost to the forty niners and
the Packers. Are they are they in a situation where
I mean, granted, they're playing to Jacksonville Jaguars, but how
much of a must win situation is for them moving
forward to beat this Jaguars team, Because you gotta taken
the consideration after that. They have the Cardinals, they have
(33:10):
the Seahawks. They have the Vikings, they have the Ravens,
and then they have the Niners. Again, that is not
a very forgiving rest of the way. If that's your schedule,
How serious, how dire, how how how much of how
how much importance is connected to the Rams getting on
track this week against the Jaguars And what does that
mean moving forward for them? Who got it? They're gonna
(33:32):
beat the Jags easy, like you worry. I mean, it
sucks you say that, but the Rounds aren't gonna struggle
with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That's just not gonna happen. And
it's the the reason their defense. The defense has regressed
since Raimes taken over. Yeah, they've regressed. And you think
(33:54):
they would be better because they've added von Miller, But
it's gonna take some time. I'm not concerned the bottom
and it will show. The cream, as they say, always
rises to the top. After they play the Jags, they
are gonna be playing some really good football teams and
we'll see right away what they're made of. You can
(34:14):
point the Stanford Stafford, but it's the defense. They can't
stop the run and teams are just playing big dog
for a FC North football against them and they can't
do anything about it. You know what, for the first time,
I might be wrong, just might be wrong. You know
what I've been wrong. I've been listen, I've been saying
(34:34):
that the Rams are going to come out of the NFC,
and I've been saying it right with You've been You've
been right with right with. I'm always right, so you
got no choice but to follow me. So with that
being said, I might be wrong. My Rams sitting that
nine and four and you have here talking about that
(34:56):
the Rams defense gonna need sometimes with the addition of
vomb Mill. Look, he plays defense, just get the quarterback.
Get the quarterback like he doesn't have to learn to playbook.
I mean, he's a stand up rust defense in I
don't know what's going on von Miller maybe as father time,
but listen, my Rams gotta get it together. Um. You
(35:17):
know what I'm regressing on the Rams right now, I'm
I'm gonna take a step back and just say that
the there was when the Cortons are better football team
than the ramblock right now in that division. I said,
you said the Cardinals where fools going about They just
ain't that foolish? The fool God, I was wrong, but
(35:42):
I don't know that you wrong, O. B. J. Von
Miller additions, you would just think that that team would just,
you know, just go through the roof. They got to
be able to stop the running. Like if you force
the opposing team, the Rams defense to pass the ball,
and that's gonna come onto the Rams offense, get a lead,
force him to throw, then we can see what von
(36:04):
Miller does best. But team they just running the ball down. You.
They gotta shut down corner and Jay the Rams. I
don't understand. They don't even make he takes away once
out of the football field. Bro. They played the Green
Bay Packers, he didn't. Man Davante Adams up Man Donald
is joining a double team every play von Miller get
to the quarterback. Please make me look halfway decent in
my decision to say that the Rams are gonna come
(36:25):
out of the NFC. But I just might be wrong.
I think the forty Niners is gonna sneak up on them.
Forty Niners are not making them work. I think they
are going to sneak up on some people. And I'm
gonna tell you why they can sneak up on some people.
You know why they've been filling their best with him dry.
That's why you want to lose weight and m drive ling.

and change your your accent to to your voice. I'm
(05:06):
so happy to be here, y'all's new coaches, to bring
my family here. What what do y'all think about this?
Brian Kelly deal man, let's jump into that. Uh. Brian
Kelly obviously left his position with the Notre Dame, uh,
the Irishman, the Golden Domers UH to take that large
deal with L. S U. He's not finishing the season.
(05:30):
He passed God, he did not collect two hundred dollars.
He went straight to L s U. He said, I'm
sorry to his players, but but the hell WHI y'all,
I'm gonna go ahead and do what I need to
do in this scenario. In this situation, now, I thought
that the entire world was on the side of Chip Kelly,
or excuse me, Brian Kelly um being kind of off
(05:52):
on the way he handled this. Obviously. We had some
strong uh conversation about it during the week on on
to two pros and a couple of Joe with Brady
Quinn being a former player. Plexico, I'm interested in your
opinion on it, but DJ I heard some of what
you were thinking and people might be surprised at what
(06:12):
your your conclusion was and I don't know what plex
falls on it. So let's go. I'll say this, I
have zero problem with Brian Kelly leaving and the way
he did. Yeah, I have no problem with it. It's like,
what do you want him to do? I know I'm
going to l s U. This is the school that
I'm going to. So I'm gonna wait, Well, I can't
(06:36):
they and jeopardized recruits for the school that I'm going
to be coaching. And so no, I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna especially when you're give me a hundred million,
You give me a hundred million dollars. Players got to
understand Brian Kelly can still care for you and make
that decision like, oh, I'm gonna coach the team in
(06:58):
the ball game. Eventually it's gonna get out that he's
going to l s U. And then how was he
going to look like all this? Oh he was on
a recruiting trip. Well he was. He just so happened
to be on a recruiting trip when his agent told him, Man,
we we got a hunter a million, and so it
came out, I haven't you wait? Why would you wait?
(07:21):
Because if they want you that bad and they're gonna
offer you that much money. Why would you got an
opportunity to make it into the playoffs and they're not
making it, But they got an opportunity to if iow
up beats, I got an opportunity right now to go
kill Vegas and Blackjack. I'm probably not gonna do it,
just like we killed it the last time. Right nowhere,
(07:45):
it's like he's stupid. Why why is it early SIMI period?
Like he's the coach of l s U. I need
to solidify. I need to solidify that. And so do
I care about Notre Dame? Yes, site dude, but now
I'm the l s U head coach. I need to
solidify this early signing period. And sorry Notre Dame if
(08:06):
you feel a certain type of way about it. I
handled it how I wanted to handle it, not how
the alumni and the administration and the players wanted me
to be. Okay with burning that bridge, you can't go
back over it. Burning the bridge. That's a burnt bridge.
He blew it up, and this was his last coaching stop.
He blew the bridge up and took a plane to
(08:29):
l there was another bridge, burning the bridge. I'm not coaching, Oh,
once I leave L s U. I've done. This is
a million Me and my family gonna enjoy it. That's
what it's turning. The bridge sounds like support of what
t J is saying. Plexico. Listen, great minds, think alike,
support one because guess what I experienced this. It was
twenty years ago. We were nine and two football teams.
(08:53):
We'd be Oregon. You don't even like we beat We
can't stay in State. You don't even like You don't
even like State all in one season. You don't even
like him. Nick Saban called an im meeting, emergency team meeting.
On a Wednesday. He said to us in the indie facility,
(09:15):
he said, listen, I know you guys are hearing all
the rumors about me going to L s U. I'm
not leaving. The next day he was gone to take
this Saturday before, when we beat Penn State the last
game of the season, why keeping reps walked into the
locker room and Nick Saban said to us, how would
(09:37):
you like the guys like to go to the Citchs Bowl.
We went crazy. He was gone before the next Saturday,
didn't say how well, listen, I will say this. They
called this man a trader, the hypocrisy of Bryan Kelly.
Brady Quinn called him classless. He's wrong classes But I
(09:58):
will say this, this man a hundred million dollar contract
to coach college football. Five hundred thousand every year bonus
if he's on, If he's coaching after July one, five
thousand bollus. If he goes to a bowl game, two cars,
(10:20):
one point two million dollar house. If he goes to
a national championship, it's a five thousand, five dollars increase
on his contract every year that is coaching the team.
Nobody's turned. There's a negotiation, it's time to go, and
(10:41):
he's taking note to Dame as far as he can
possibly go. Come on, man, listen, he's taking far as possible.
When they made what happened everything, every time they played
what happened, I would have what aspect for Notre Dame.

a good reason because without it, a fire flutter, burglary
could destroy you financially. But there's another major crime your
homeowners policy does not cover. It's called home title fraud.

(21:32):
and it can ruin you financially, which is why you
need home title luck. Title fraud happens when a criminal
forges your signature and documents stating you sold your home
to him. Then he takes out loans against your home
and leaves you with the payments. You'll spend a fortune
in legal fees trying to prove you did not commit fraud.

back into the show. We are broadcasting live from the
Sports Book in the Mandalaid Bay and one of our
favorite cities, guys. I mean, I think it's everybody's favorite city,
Las Vegas, the Gray this arena on Earth, peeps. No
(23:02):
one does sports like Vegas, and the excitement is endless.
It was an endless excitement last night. I didn't want
to go to sleep, but I had to make sure
that I got my rest and got my sleep to
make sure that everything was what it was supposed to
be for today and doing what it is that we
need to do for this fair here show. So before
(23:23):
we get to the update, guys, um, I gotta ask
you guys about about the the whole chef we ate
good last night. We tend to trust the chefs that
cooked the food for us. I mean, imagine they could
poison you. You know, they could do a whole lot
of things. Back in the day, they used to have
food testers, you know what I mean, like make sure
that your drink was good, make sure that your food
(23:44):
was good. Maybe they need to have hiring testers now,
Like can I trust you to come into my home
and be in my home and cook for me and
see what goes along in my house and see what
what I say and see what I do? Because now
a B is in a three ain't suspension the ultimate betrayal? Oh?
Come on, talk to me, man, what you got You
let people into your home, They cook your food, they
(24:07):
sit at your table, they break out the plates, and
they betray you. I mean, if you're if you're blessing
up to happen, if you're blessing out to have a
chef coming to your house and cook for you. That's
almost like having a barber coming to your house. And
we all know the people that are around you are
the people that you tend to open up to and
tell your personal business to be able to due to
this man and give him a job. I mean, you're
(24:30):
cooking his food and and and he does that to him.
He uh, it's abotaged my guy, Buddy, buddy is a
snake that the chef is a snake. Let me ask
you this, what's the difference between Antonio Brown's situation and um,
what's the difference? I can tell you. I can tell
(24:50):
you the difference. My opinion obviously is it. I can't
wait to hear this. A b falsified that he was vaccinated.
Aaron Rodgers didn't say to the league, Aaron Rodgers deceived
the public. He didn't deceive. It not a lie because
he didn't know it was a lie. It was a
(25:12):
different lie. He didn't no, no, no, no no, it was
a different The Green Bay Packers knew that Aaron Rodgers
wasn't vaccinated, but we didn't know. It doesn't matter what
we know that the team and the league knew. The
team no, no, the team. Let me put it to sleep. No,
(25:33):
I'll put it to sleep. Though. If you present a
card and it's a it's a falsified thought ab was vaccinated.
But but here's the thing. If you present a card
and it's a fake card, you're breaking the law. That's
you broke the law. That isn't just a yeah, but
but you've broken the law. So now you've broken a rule.
That's a team rule. This is once they once they
(25:53):
found out that that was a falsified document, not because
the Green Bay hackers. He deceived the public. He didn't
deceive the team, and he didn't break any laws teams new.
Now let let me why did the chef I want
to tell this information was trying They don't employ you
(26:16):
trying to So that's how was it? Because I read
that he was old ten thousand dollars and Abe didn't
want to pay them. If that is true, man, that
ten grand, just go ahead and get it to him,
because now you've been suspended three games. That's over some
specim eg that got to be the best chef ever
(26:39):
them biscuits tastes some biscuit? What what do you say?
What do you see happening in the future, would they be,
because Bruce Arians when they signed him, he said, Abe,
mess up, He's gone. Listen. I think I think this situation,
it really just pulled the rug from under my guy,
hurt ankle, and I don't think he can come back
(27:03):
from this. I asked the same question, the get rid
of him during this three game suspension. I don't believe.
I don't. I don't think. I don't think be a will.
I think that's his ship. I know him as a person.
I think that's his only set. He's gonna let be
finished the season and it's a wrap. It's gonna be
a REP after this, no doubt about. Nobody else gonna
you think this is it thought nobody will sign him.
(27:23):
I think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be
a REP. I mean, he's still a first better Hall
of Famer. I don't know. And here's why. Here's why.
Here's why. Not not body or what you neplect. You
know this. It's not gonna be his body. You know this.
It's not gonna be his body, or work be everything else.
It's gonna be everything else. T O was not the first.
He not even gonna be second ballot. He might have
(27:46):
to wait. I'm telling he might have to wait because
the same shame on y'all, everybody, everybody in the Hall
of Fame. Shame on y'all, you know, for what he
perceives may happen. Unbelievable. You know who doesn't have to wait? Man,
I a glowing crime. He ain't gonna wait. You know
why he's not gonna wait. We got the updates. Don't
wait what we got. I appreciate that, LaVar. I'm just
(28:08):
I'm just wondering. Did did my invitation to join you
guys in Vegas get lost? They said you didn't want
to come with you and Sam wanted to stay back.
He said you two needed to hold down the fort
back at Oh so I don't know. I haven't heard
that you guys backpedal like that since the combine and
(28:31):
I don't. I don't. Yeah, I run by the guys
that Yeah, Speaking of guys who are going to be
in the one Combine, the Big Twelfth Championship game underway
a T and T Stadium, Arlington, Texas, and Oklahoma State
has a three to nothing lead over Baylor. They have
five minutes in forty seconds left to play in the
(28:51):
first quarter, and that when busy morning fellas in the NFL,
the Pittsburgh Steelers announcing today they've activated star linebacker t J.
Watt from the COVID list of clears him to play
tomorrow against the Ravens what was originally put on the
COVID lift on Monday. Jeremy Fowler reporting that the Seahawks
will be activating newly signed running back Adrian Peterson off
the practice squad for Sunday's game against the San Francisco
(29:13):
forty And I is gonna save one other NFL tidbit
for you guys coming up in just a moment, but
also want to mention big news in the NBA this morning,
with Charlotte Hornets today placing four players in health and
safety protocols LaMelo Ball, Terry Rosier, Mason Plumley, and Jalen McDaniels.
Adrian war Danowski reporting the Hornets today sent players and
(29:33):
staff home from their practice facility, and finally, guys, one
detail to add your Antonio Brown conversation. Tom Pellicero of
NFL Media reported a short time ago that the NFL
initially considered suspending Brown and his two teammates six to
eight games for their COVID protocol violations before they settled
(29:56):
on three game suspensions. With that, let's go back to
you guys in Vegas must be nice. It is. It
is nice, yeah, and you know what else is is
nice when we get to hear our man James Jackson
from Straight Facts from up On Game Presents do his thing,
(30:16):
check us out. It's now time for I'm On Your Head.
It's like I'm on your Head with James Jackson. Yes, sir,
what's going on y'all? A't your boy? James Jackson. Welcome
back to another edition of I'm On Your Head, presented
(30:38):
by the up On Game Network and Fox Sports Radio.
As always, make sure to go check me out on
Instagram at the real Underscore Jimmy j from my Shaky
Baby videos and my content there. But oh geez, LaVar
plex t J. I'm sorry I couldn't be there live today,
but this doesn't take any any you know, any effect
on what's going on right now. And you know what's
real shaky to me, that's being ranked number were one
(31:00):
in the NFL coming into this season and now at
this point in the year, not even leading your own
Division l A. Rams, I'm on your head now. You
can move from St. Louis to l A with the
palm trees and sunshine, man, But it's still a cold
world out here. Baby. There's three game losing streak that
they're on right now kind of negates that three game
winning streak that they had right before it. And my
(31:22):
focus is on the defense because you're come into this year.
You were the number one right defense in the league.
Last year, you returned everybody, and then you add somebody
like von Miller midway through the season. It should be immaculate,
right And this last, this three game skid, it's not
looking good. They gave up first twenty to Tennessee, nearly
thirty to Tennessee, gave up thirty one to San Francisco,
(31:42):
that's a divisional opponent, and then thirty six get hung
up on them by Green Bay and there get right game.
How plex say it with me? Man? You know that's shakey, baby,
and a lot of attention is gonna go on Matt
Stafford probably rightfully so. And let me get this out
the way. Matt Stafford is leaps and bound head and
shoulders far in a way a better quarterback than Jared Golf.
(32:04):
But the Rams did go to a Super Bowl with
Jared Golf at the helm, right, So Matt Stafford, please
don't let Jared goofy have a better season at any
point than you do with the Rams. Man gotta live
up to potential. And that sideline getting a little restless too.
I can see the tension and boiling over there, just
like some Rams button heads with each other already. Now
(32:25):
y'all might play in the City of Angels, but y'all
battling y'all demons right now, Los Angeles Rams, I'm on
your head. Well, I gotta save We're We're gonna talk
about the Cowboys soon here and what they have going on.
They were on a three game losing skid as well,
looking at looking at this Rams team. They've lost to
(32:47):
the Titans, now they've lost to the forty niners and
the Packers. Are they are they in a situation where
I mean, granted, they're playing to Jacksonville Jaguars, but how
much of a must win situation is for them moving
forward to beat this Jaguars team, Because you gotta taken
the consideration after that. They have the Cardinals, they have
(33:10):
the Seahawks. They have the Vikings, they have the Ravens,
and then they have the Niners. Again, that is not
a very forgiving rest of the way. If that's your schedule,
How serious, how dire, how how how much of how
how much importance is connected to the Rams getting on
track this week against the Jaguars And what does that
mean moving forward for them? Who got it? They're gonna
(33:32):
beat the Jags easy, like you worry. I mean, it
sucks you say that, but the Rounds aren't gonna struggle
with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That's just not gonna happen. And
it's the the reason their defense. The defense has regressed
since Raimes taken over. Yeah, they've regressed. And you think
(33:54):
they would be better because they've added von Miller, But
it's gonna take some time. I'm not concerned the bottom
and it will show. The cream, as they say, always
rises to the top. After they play the Jags, they
are gonna be playing some really good football teams and
we'll see right away what they're made of. You can
(34:14):
point the Stanford Stafford, but it's the defense. They can't
stop the run and teams are just playing big dog
for a FC North football against them and they can't
do anything about it. You know what, for the first time,
I might be wrong, just might be wrong. You know
what I've been wrong. I've been listen, I've been saying
(34:34):
that the Rams are going to come out of the NFC,
and I've been saying it right with You've been You've
been right with right with. I'm always right, so you
got no choice but to follow me. So with that
being said, I might be wrong. My Rams sitting that
nine and four and you have here talking about that
(34:56):
the Rams defense gonna need sometimes with the addition of
vomb Mill. Look, he plays defense, just get the quarterback.
Get the quarterback like he doesn't have to learn to playbook.
I mean, he's a stand up rust defense in I
don't know what's going on von Miller maybe as father time,
but listen, my Rams gotta get it together. Um. You
(35:17):
know what I'm regressing on the Rams right now, I'm
I'm gonna take a step back and just say that
the there was when the Cortons are better football team
than the ramblock right now in that division. I said,
you said the Cardinals where fools going about They just
ain't that foolish? The fool God, I was wrong, but
(35:42):
I don't know that you wrong, O. B. J. Von
Miller additions, you would just think that that team would just,
you know, just go through the roof. They got to
be able to stop the running. Like if you force
the opposing team, the Rams defense to pass the ball,
and that's gonna come onto the Rams offense, get a lead,
force him to throw, then we can see what von
(36:04):
Miller does best. But team they just running the ball down. You.
They gotta shut down corner and Jay the Rams. I
don't understand. They don't even make he takes away once
out of the football field. Bro. They played the Green
Bay Packers, he didn't. Man Davante Adams up Man Donald
is joining a double team every play von Miller get
to the quarterback. Please make me look halfway decent in
my decision to say that the Rams are gonna come
(36:25):
out of the NFC. But I just might be wrong.
I think the forty Niners is gonna sneak up on them.
Forty Niners are not making them work. I think they
are going to sneak up on some people. And I'm
gonna tell you why they can sneak up on some people.
You know why they've been filling their best with him dry.
That's why you want to lose weight and m drive ling.
(36:47):
Think about Team Powder backed by real signs. To lose weight,
go to them. Drive from men dot com. Don't let

I can't fit all of y'all, but I'll come back
and get you in my Dodge Ram jumping in the
backing the bay. We're gonna make it happy. You know.
Isn't that time of the year where we gotta be
able to get the players to the stadium so they
could be able to play the game that they're gonna
play in. I'd like to do it by putting them
in a Dodge Ram. You know, the truck brand that's
read the finding what a truck can be. Rams lead
(37:28):
the pack and interior design, technology and overall quality. In fact,
listen to this, y'all. JD Power just ranked Ram is
the number one brand in new vehicle quality in the
entire Automotive Group. That means, if you're driving in a
car this Dodge Ram truck brand, it's better than you two.
I'm just saying it's an industry standard. I didn't do it.
(37:50):
I just do the read. You know what I mean.
It's the first time a truck brand has ever scored
that high. Ram trucks to have rugged doorability to haul
what you need, and luxurious interiors to make the drive
every away game that you go to a pleasure. Get
behind the wheel of a truck brand that will turn
hits every time you roll up to the game. Get
ready for football with a RAM truck. Learn more about
