>> it's steven colbert. what else. >> the first thing before you can learn how to throw the ball, you must learn how to hold the football. [laughter] grab the ball. make sure you got it. you got the grip. first lesson, you must maintain po soafghts ball. >> i did have it. i did have the ball. you slapped it out of my has not. >> that's what happens in the game. >> people walk up and slap the ball out of my hand. >> do you want to own the room. >> i own the room. >> no you don't. do you want to throw the ball. you can't even hold the ball. your balance is off. >> i happen to know you're not wearing a cup. >> tell me you don't have testicles.

> this>> thisou doing.

>> steph welcome back everybody. [crowd cheering] thank you so much for joining us. i got to say, during the commercial break, i heard some accusations that my superb coverage is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt by talking about sunday's trademark let's call it sports gavin 48.

[laughter] because superb all contains the same letters of what's happening on sunday in the exact same order. hello. have you ever heard of a thing called coin sidence. this is about the greatness of man's best friend all and i'm committed to these majestic birds of prey as i am for not getting sued for extra right ion fringement. america is bringing with hot al controversy. >> the spotted all was considered a species in the northwest for 20 years but now the species is facing a new threat by another specials of all. >> an invasive species of the east. >> they move into an area, they're very territorial and they spot those owls. >> they want to skill one species to save another. >> folks moved by the obama administration raises many troubling questions.

should we kill one specials to protect another. if i don't talk about umps at least once this week, could the national football league lawyers kill me to protect their trademark. here to answer those questions is the ceo of the national audubon society david ur yarnel. thank you for joining me. aaron, you're here with an all. with a>> why are so many owlst superb owl. >> it's a great hunter, it lives in a lot of different types of terrain and the habitat it's invading is habitat that's decaying and it's not being well taken care of. >> stephen: what is going to happen? do you think there's going to be a calling of the bard owls. >> it looks like there will be a calling but i think the key is to focus in the underlying

habitat problems that those forests in the northwest have been overlogged and not well taken care of. >> stephen: what is going to happen, how do you think that will take place. heaven forbid but if i were to smother this owl, i said don't worry, would i then be given the presidential medal of freedal. >> i thigh that's probably not how the wildlife fish service started out. >> stephen: we're just talking here. [laughter] so you also wouldn't want to do that because once you get to know owls you realize what tremendous hunters they are. they are like the stealth fighters of birds. they have amazing, they have different kinds of wings than other birds so that in dark they can fly, they can hunt, they can see in nearly pitch darkness. the wind just whistles over them. you actually can't hear them coming. >> stephen: that sounds fair

fair ---terrifying. why can she turn her head so far around. is she possessed by the devil. >> owls are remarkably flexible. they can turn their heads 370 degrees. >> stephen: what do umps eat -- owls eat oughtn't t to other t e pops. >> you know about that. it depends on the size of the owl but squirrels, mice, snakes. other types of rodents. even other kinds of birds. >> stephen: let's talk about the big game on sunday for just a moment here. >> sure. >> stephen: obviously everyone out there knows every year we in the press look to psychic animals. they are clairvoyant octopus to pick the winner of the big game. this year we're going with the owl. ssophia i want you to point your wing at the team you like

better. i've got two adorable bunnies over here, one in sea hawk justy and one in a broncos justy. so sophia let me ask you, which team do you like for sunday's match up. sophia, no. i want to assure everyone that grief counselors will be made available through the audience after tonight's show. well either sophia hates them both or loves them both. we'll sift through and see which justy emerge g go(@

>> stephen: welcome back everybody. my guest tonight is the best defensive ends. we wul talk about owls, please welcome justin. [cheers and applause] >> stephen: you are two time super bowl champion, two time probowler, 450 combined tackles, 60 career sacks voted by espn as the 100 top players of the nfl. [crowd cheering] >> best defensive team, you got denver the best offensive team.

so what does that mean. who is going to take on sunday. i've got a lot of money running on this. that's obviously just a joke. >> i think it's going to be a great game. i think they say the weather's supposed to be bad and obviously that gives the defense a little bit of the edge. but peyton manning is pretty awesome what he does. i'm going to go with a close one and say seattle squeaks by. [crowd cheering] >> stephen: okay. have you ever sacked peyton manning. >> only in the pro bowl. it doesn't cowel. >> stephen: so you didn't hit him very hard. >> he actually saw me coming and kind of sat down. >> stephen: how big of a man are you? >> i'm about six five and some change and about 270. >> stephen: do you like hitting people? >> yes. >> stephen: you do. >> the only reason i play the game. >> stephen: really. you're in it for the crunch.

>> absolutely. that is the absolute most, i mean think about it. think about this. for me as a defensive end, and i saw your skit about quarterbacks, i hate quarterbacks by the way so you may not want to take that as your fallback position. >> stephen: if i were, because obviously i'm well on my way. >> you sure you. >> stephen: you saw the toolkit i'm working with right now. if i were a quarterback, what look would you give me right before i called the ball. >> called the ball. >> stephen: called the play, called the ball. >> called the ball. >> stephen: called the ball. >> come here ball. >> stephen: is that what you say, here ball. omaha. if i said omaha, okay. what face would you be giving me? [laughter] we might have to stop for a second for me to change my pants. is there time. we'll keep going.

okay. what is it about hitting people that you enjoy? >> honestly, i think especially if it's a good one, everything happens like that. but you hear this like mm-mm, that noise, that sound. you here like huh, any of those little sounds like that, you kind of push up, you kind of have that smile on your face. >> stephen: that's like the sound of a cat perking t perkin. let me show the helmet. that is a mean looking helmet. that's a darth vader style helmet right there. when you're out in the field are you in a different mind set when you're in the field because people are criticizing richard sherman for his antics and he says when you're on the field, you're in a different mind set. you're three hours of like go go go on the field.

looking to crunch ball and collapse organs, can you turn that off. >> you have to be able to. and we always say the owl is called the white line. when you step inside the white lines you're a different guy. i mean look, see all that. that's from those hits that people go eek with. >> stephen: these deep gouges in your helmet is from the flesh of other human beings. what about the interview on the field. do you think he was over the line by the way. >> not at all. >> stephen: i don't think so either. >> not at all. people don't understand. richard is pretty smart guy. i mean stanford grad, 4.0gpa. getting his masters now. people want to talk about. you have to think he's a young guy sending the seahawks to the super bowl, just made a great play to send the team to the super bowl and you ask him about it he's going to be amped up right there. like he said he's sorry for the

fact he took a little of the shine away from the team with what he said but i don't think he had anything to apologize for. that's how i want people to be excited about what they do. the fact of the matter is he's the best at what he does. so i was pretty stoked for him and happy he was able to help his football team win football games. >> stephen: the giants did not make the super bowl this year but the super bowl is being played in your stadium. any chance you guys just rush the field at some point? [laughter] [crowd cheering] >> thank you so much for joining me. >> stephen: new york giants defensive end, "!hqrrrdx

admit it, dude. you totally cried. i didn't cry, charlie. i saw tears coming out of your eye... extreme home makeover will make the hardest man soft. oh, it makes everybody cry. - that is really ridiculous. - oh, is it? you're the biggest thief i've ever met in my life. dennis, do you know that she is inheriting my house? of course he knows it. he's the one who lost the house by letting you into it. and now since i'm his next of kin the house belongs to me. frank, if you want to get your house back, check it out. make a vision board, put your house on it-- boom. you get the house back.
