Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our overreaction Monday. Top five, top five, top five headlines in our eyes driven by RAM. And, you know, a RAM truck obviously has the amount of power that you need to pull anything. Hell yeah. Whatever you need to pull. Anything. This whole thing. Yeah, you bet. Pull it. Fast tummy capacity there is. That's right. And it also has the comfort of high society without having to pay the price. And then all the technology easy to use, which is a massive thing. Because some of these futuristic cars you get in, it's like you get a spaceship. It's like, I'm not NASA. Come on. What are all of these buttons and what is going on? RAM it very easy to operate but also has all the

0:39.0

technology you need oh yeah to be in the 21st 22nd century if you need and then when you hit

0:43.7

the gas pedal the only sound you hear is r r r r ramb ramb ramb as the engine is second to none now let's

0:48.5

get to the top five headlines shall we number five long live the king king hen This guy's special. We saw him in high school. There was highlights of this thing running down a football field. Untackleable. Seemingly the same size he is now. He has been since he was 16 years old. Then he goes to Alabama. Yep, obviously. Judge Saban said the same thing. We got something that nobody else has.

1:12.6

We got a defensive end.

1:13.6

Who's a running back here?

1:14.6

Then he goes the NFL, goes to the Titans.

1:15.6

What's he do there? Well, for the first couple of years, not great. It's actually not that great. Not running behind his pads. I think he's trying to dance too much. too much, maybe because the NFL, he didn't think he could be the same exact guy he was in high school and in college.

1:26.6

Then Eddie George has a conversation with him, former Titans legend, and says, hey, we dominate people, okay? Guys like you and me, we're bigger than everybody, we're stronger than everybody, we work our asses off, we just run people over. Derek Henry started running north or south in the NFL, and guess what started happening? Tennessee Titans started winning ball games. Tennessee down in Nashville, they weren't supposed to win ball games. What is this all about?

1:46.9

Well, they rode this man in his shoulders and his legs to multiple different heights that they will,

1:52.9

who knows if they'll ever see again. And the Titans are case studying of itself. All the stars

1:58.1

around the NFL right now, seemingly, even the coaches, are from

2:01.5

the Titans organization within the last five years. They are fully ass and have completely

2:05.3

tearing that place down, but that's a conversation for a different day. This dude, still doing

2:09.5

this in Baltimore at this age, at this stage of his career, is outrageous. This past weekend

2:14.6

against Packers has his seventh 200-yard game in the history of his career.

2:19.6

That's the most 200-yard games in the history of the NFL.

2:23.9

He passed Adrian Peterson and O.J. Simpson.

2:26.3

O.J., I believe, had five. Adrian Peterson had six.

2:29.7

And now Derek Henry has seven.

2:31.9

So whenever you think about Adrian, and I haven't seen O.J. Simpson play. I have seen him run. But whatever you think about Adrian Peterson and Derek Henry, you're talking about a style of play where you can see how people or defenses will quit, okay? Because it's just a punishing. We're running with our knees up. We're running through you. We got a stiff arm if we need it. That will be a cartoonish caricature like stiff arm. And they just pound you. And once they get rolling, especially if it's early, if you see Derek Henry pop a couple long ones in the first quarter, in the second quarter, the natural instinct is, well, by the fourth quarter, when these guys are tired and when these guys have had to eaten Derek Henry a few different times, will they be able to stop them or will they make business decisions? You factor that alongside Patrick Ricard in the backfield. Former defensive end right there, number 42. He's 315, 320 plus who can run. They can beat you up if they want to. We did a little science, okay, for this Derek Henry thing, because I thought to myself, would I ever want to stand in front of Derek Henry? Absolutely not. So we did a little E equals MC squared. And obviously, E is energy, okay, and I'm not Einstein or Oppaheim, but you get it. M is mass, obviously. C is for constant, which is the speed of light, okay?

3:42.7

And Einstein said, if you took the mass times the speed of light,
