You believe the Mets are going to give him a significant
0:02
They're going to have a ton of money to spend.

league? We're going to be.
0:16
Looking at Aaron Judge. And saying that he.
0:18
Can't win the big game, Michael Jordan.
0:20
Said I. Played 82 games.

2:33
Nick Goody will be joining us a little bit later in the show as
2:36
well. And we have a great show lined
2:38
up for you. But first, yes, ladies and
2:40
gentlemen, I celebrated my birthday over the last two days.
2:43
My sister came out on my birthday.
2:45
I got a chance to see my one year old niece, my 21 year old
2:49
niece and my 12 year old nephew got to hang out with them, had a
2:53
little birthday cake and you know, off they went.
2:56
And then last night I actually went to dinner.
2:59
It was a great dinner. I thought it was, but we went to
3:02
Teller's, a steakhouse. It was delicious and I got
3:04
myself a nice beautiful bottle of Saint I, I, I forget what
3:10
it's called, but it's it's $150.00 bottle of Cologne.
3:13
I love Cologne. I collect Cologne.
3:14
I collect everything it I collect watches, never wear
3:18
them. If you if you ever watch a show
3:19
you never see me with a nice watch even though I have a ton
3:22
of them. Did you order chicken fingers or
3:24
did you actually get steak? I, I actually had steak.
3:27
I actually, if you're going to a steak house, you're going to eat
3:30
steak and I don't have steak. You never know.
3:33
No, I love steak. I I actually enjoy steak.
3:36
I had myself a rib eye. I love those rib eyes.
3:39
They're thick, they're juicy. And I had a chance to, you know,
3:43
have the nice mashed potatoes. How little it?
3:46
What was this goes? You get it.
3:47
Well done. I did.
3:49
I do I get it well done? I do.
3:51
I get my steak well done. Why wouldn't I?
3:55
You want boot leather? No, I get it well done, medium,
3:59
medium well, OK, it's it's medium well, but I don't like it
4:03
like red or any of that stuff. That's not my thing.
4:05
You know it's not blood though, right?
4:07
No, I know that, but I just don't like it.
4:09
Red I I I get sick. I've been sick.
4:12
I've gone to steak houses and I've tried it Red.
4:15
My father was a carnivore. He would never he he'd barely
4:19
even cook the steak and he'd eat it like that.
4:22
I was like, that was. That's called.
4:23
That's called black and blue. No, that's called sick.
4:26
That's called a vampire or something sucking out that.
4:29
Carpaccio is basically just raw. Meat, even though raw meat.
4:34
I just made rib eyes the other day in filets and yeah it's got
4:37
to be medium rare. I have a medium rare I eat that
4:41
sometimes I eat them that sometimes I.
4:43
Usually say that if you go to a steakhouse and most of the time
4:46
it comes out medium. But that's why you always say
4:48
medium rare, because. I'll eat it.
4:50
I'm usually a medium well type of guy, but I'll eat it medium
4:54
rare. It it depends, but I I don't
4:56
really like the red. I every time I have it red or I
5:00
I've gone to a nice steakhouse. I went to Virginia one time and
5:04
we went to a steakhouse and it was actually pretty good.
5:07
I forget what it was called, but it was in the city of Virginia
5:10
and I got it medium well. I mean read it medium rare and
5:13
it wasn't it got me sick. I actually was throwing up all
5:17
night. So I don't, I don't usually eat
5:19
it medium rare. I try to stay away from that.
5:21
But nevertheless, maybe it was a bad piece of meat.
5:24
I don't know. But this game, this New York
5:26
Knick game is going to make me sick.
5:28
And I have, I have a bad feeling that they're going to go to a
5:31
Game 7 in New York. And we will get into that a
5:34
little bit later in the show because you know, a lot to get
5:37
into with the NBA craziness going on in the NBA.
5:40
But a little bit later in the show at 9:00, we'll be talking
5:42
to former Jets and Dolphins and Rams defensive end Quinton.
5:47
So we're going to have a little bit of fun with him a little bit
5:49
later in the show. But like I said, I finished my
5:51
birthday. No, everybody says they spend a
5:54
week on their birthday. I will celebrate my birthday
5:57
once again May 17th as we head to Mohican Sun.
6:00
And all my friends will come out or some of my friends will come
6:03
out because a lot of my friends live all all over the country.
6:05
So they're not going to really experience all the.
6:07
Crazy. Did you see what James said?
6:09
He said Carol, I love tellers and he didn't give him an
6:12
invite. Wow.
6:14
Sorry, James. I would have apologize to James,
6:17
but I actually, there was somebody that didn't like the
6:22
steak. So I I'm, I'm just speaking the
6:24
truth. As she said, she will never go
6:26
to tellers again. So just, yeah, she will never go
6:29
to tellers again. She's a picky picky person when
6:32
it comes to steak and how it gets kicked to the beam and
6:36
heavy taste and doesn't taste burnt as she was saying so.
6:41
It's going to taste. Burn if it's well done, yeah.
6:43
Well, she didn't want it well done, but they they they messed
6:46
up on it. But nevertheless I told her to
6:49
eat it. It's a piece of steak.
6:50
And then she didn't like the, I forget what they have this
6:54
special sauce. It had like a horseradish taste
6:56
to it. I liked it.
6:58
It was, it made it even more juicy.
7:00
The one thing she liked was the bread, the bread and the garlic
7:03
butter. That was delicious.
7:05
But besides that, she didn't really like the mashed potatoes.
7:09
She was questioning. We actually had something taken
7:12
back. But I don't want to put tellers
7:13
down where people are going to be like, I'm never going to tell
7:16
her. So I don't want to say anything.
7:18
I liked my food. She did not.
7:20
That's just. My are you a bit like when you
7:22
have your birthday dinner? Like we took Carter out for his
7:24
birthday with some of his teammates.
7:27
Sometimes I like it cuz you get a talk but sometimes my butt
7:30
goes numb because you sit too long.
7:32
I, I did, I thought it was very comfortable there.
7:35
But you know what it is, is they, they sell the, the
7:38
arrangement and, and where you're sitting and it looks like
7:41
Italian and like, like you're in a nice Italian yard.
7:44
But honestly, it looks like a weird warehouse painted like an
7:49
Italian, you know, Italian place.
7:52
I, I didn't, I didn't feel comfortable and it was really,
7:54
really cold. I'm never cold in a restaurant.
7:56
It was freezing. It was absolutely freezing in
7:59
the restaurant. So you're, I don't know why
8:02
they're blasting the, the air conditioning when everybody was
8:05
like dressed in shorts or nice shirts.
8:08
And, and, and that was another thing.
8:09
I went in shirt and a shirt and a polo.
8:13
I went to, I went there in a polo, short shirt and a shorts,
8:16
shorts on. We didn't realize how dressy you
8:19
had to be at tellers. So we walked right in and they
8:22
told me to take my hat off. I was wearing a hat.
8:24
They told me not to wear a hat in the restaurant.
8:26
So I took my hat off. My hair was a mess.
8:29
We didn't have to worry about that at Carters birthday.
8:31
It was, it was at a Mexican spot that yeah, all the.
8:34
Time I didn't get it. One of his buddies did get steak
8:37
and shrimp though. The others got just all kind of
8:39
whatever, but I was we got a good time at his birthday party.
8:43
My birthday will be celebrated May 17th Fish is going to come
8:46
out Speedy will come out you're invited with your wife or your
8:49
your fiance. If you guys want to come out
8:50
tomorrow weekend sun in Connecticut it's it's going to
8:53
be fun it always is and I get drunk I don't really drink so
8:56
I'll be dancing on bars or doing something stupid.
8:59
Hopefully I don't get arrested, but you know, obviously I was
9:02
wrong about the Lakers. Ladies and gentlemen, the
9:04
Timberwolves beat the Lakers one O 3 to 96 to upset them in five
9:09
games. Anthony Edwards took shots at
9:12
everybody that said the Lakers would win in five games and said
9:16
proving the haters wrong made the win feel 10 times better.
9:20
Anthony Edwards also called out Rudy Gobert, a dragon, after
9:25
having 27 points and 24 rebounds in game #5 game number fives
9:31
win. ESP NS Brian Windhorst called JJ
9:33
Reddick, saying he coached very immaturely in the series.
9:38
Not surprised. Luka Doncic also suffered a back
9:41
injury during game five, and reports say he was cleared to
9:46
come back early earlier in the game but didn't come until the
9:51
midway point through the third quarter.
9:54
LeBron James told ESPN that he is uncertain about his future
9:59
despite his son Bronnie still being a Laker.
10:02
LeBron has two years remaining on his contract, worth about 60
10:06
million per year with I'm sorry, with an option in 2027 and 2028.
10:13
Let me tell you guys something. Lebron's going nowhere.
10:16
He is going nowhere. I know this is what he likes to
10:20
do. He's done this before.
10:21
He was at the SP Awards with his family, as his family said he
10:25
was the greatest basketball player to ever play the game.
10:28
And everybody forgets what Michael Jordan was and what he
10:31
created for LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and all the greats,
10:35
as everybody compared are really compared to Michael Jordan.
10:38
The fact here is LeBron James is out for himself.
10:42
We all know what LeBron James likes to do.
10:44
He likes to be the center of attention.
10:46
He goes up there at the press conference.
10:48
He says his peace and then he says I'm unsure about my future.
10:52
He absolutely is sure about his future.
10:55
The only reason why they made that move for a guy like Luka
10:58
Doncic was to give LeBron James a chance to add another
11:02
superstar and go on another run, maybe to for one or maybe even 2
11:06
championships. The fact is they just didn't
11:09
show up in that series. I think Luka Doncic wasn't 100%
11:12
healthy in the series. You can see it in his game.
11:15
This is a guy that averages over 33 points a game and seven
11:18
rebounds in about 8 in practically every single playoff
11:22
game of his career. And throughout this series, he
11:25
just wasn't really up the par. Now, obviously, JJ Redick is a
11:29
different coach. This is a different team than
11:31
the Dallas Mavericks. All the offense in Dallas ran
11:34
through him. In this offense, it ran through
11:37
LeBron and Luca Doncic and again, Luke has got to figure
11:42
out who he is, what is his identity with the Lakers, I was
11:45
very surprised they lost in five games.
11:47
If they were going to lose, I thought it was going to
11:49
definitely be in seven games. But again, we all understand who
11:54
Anthony Edwards is. He calls himself the truth.
11:56
We understand how talented he is.
11:58
He's a superstar player. He doesn't want to be the face
12:00
of the NBA, as he's come out and said, but he is one of the faces
12:05
of Team USA Basketball. We understand the talent he is.
12:08
Some people compare his skill to a Michael Jordan.
12:11
I don't know if you can actually compare him to Michael Jordan,
12:14
but his acrobatics and what he does on a basketball court is
12:17
sensational. He's fun to watch.
12:19
Rudy Gobert, this could have been his best game of his
12:22
career. I don't think you.
12:26
Yeah, I I've never seen Rudy Gobert put up the numbers in in
12:29
a playoff game, 27 points and 24 rebounds.
12:32
Now, I've seen him put up kind of these numbers in a regular
12:35
season. But again, subpar teams.
12:38
When you're playing a Lakers team that made it to the
12:41
playoffs, we're a number three seed and we're one of the best
12:44
teams in the Western Conference all season.
12:46
To put up those kind of numbers the way he did was very
12:48
impressive. Now is he going to do it in the
12:50
next series? Who who knows?
12:52
The question is, is this the is this team different than they
12:57
were last year? They obviously had Karl Anthony
12:59
Downs. Now they have a little bit more
13:01
depth, I would say with Julius Randolph and Dante Diva Censo
13:05
Dante's actually playing pretty good basketball over the last
13:07
couple of weeks and throughout this playoff series, he's been
13:10
pretty good off the bench. He's added a a little bit of
13:14
spice and that's something that the Knicks are missing in this
13:17
series. They need that spice.
13:19
They need that shooting type. A guy that is really has that
13:22
cold, you know, that cold stuff going through his veins.
13:25
I say cold stuff because I could say hot stuff and you know,
13:28
Speedy might be thinking of something else, but I honestly
13:31
believe that the Lakers need to figure things out in the
13:35
offseason. I don't believe LeBron James is
13:38
retiring, but they need that other guy.
13:40
They need a third type of player that's going to give you about
13:43
1718 points off the bench if need be, or maybe a starter that
13:47
can play with Luca and and run the offense through Luka Doncic
13:51
with LeBron James. You don't think that's Austin
13:53
Reeves? I'm sorry, No, no, no, no.
13:56
I think Austin Reeves is going to get traded.
13:58
I think he's going to be a trade piece.
14:00
A lot of teams like Austin Reeves.
14:02
I know that the Knicks were very interested in Austin Reeves last
14:05
season and even at the trade deadline there were stories
14:08
coming out that the Knicks were trying to make a move with the
14:10
Lakers. But I think that will happen in
14:12
the offseason. There are quite a few teams I
14:14
have heard that Giannis might become available now that they
14:17
lost. And I'm not saying Giannis is
14:19
going to the Lakers because they're going to have to give up
14:21
a lot and they're going to have to.
14:23
He's going to have to opt out of his contract and take less to go
14:26
to the Lakers. I think there are quite a few
14:28
other teams that might be interested and a guy like
14:31
Yannis, but the Lakers need to find the other guy.
14:33
And LeBron James is definitely not going to retire because he
14:36
doesn't want to retire. At least with 11 championship
14:41
off of Kobe and two championships off of Michael
14:45
Jordan. He wants to be compared to Kobe
14:48
or even Michael Jordan. He has to win a total of 5 or 6
14:52
championships to be compared to any one of those guys.
14:54
Now, he is not Michael Jordan. There's no question that he
14:57
isn't. But I think LeBron believes that
14:59
he has something left in him. I don't think he can play the
15:01
defense he once could, but I still think he can give you that
15:05
2425 points. He's going to give you that 7 to
15:09
6 rebounds and and maybe 8, you know, 8 assists if he actually
15:13
plays the point. So there's a lot of questions
15:15
for the Lakers and what do they do with JJ Reddick?
15:18
Do they bring JJ Reddick back? I know everybody sits here and
15:20
says says well, JJ Reddick had a great season.
15:23
But when they when it came down to the nitty and the gritty in
15:25
the playoffs, JJ Reddick didn't call the right time out.
15:29
He couldn't he couldn't match up his team against the
15:33
Timberwolves teams, Timberwolves team that wasn't as good all
15:37
season long as they were last year.
15:39
This is a Timberwolves team that went all the way to the Western
15:42
Conference finals. They beat the champion, the
15:43
Nuggets last year and a lot of people thought they were going
15:46
to knock off Dallas. And then Luca obviously matched
15:49
up so very well against the Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards.
15:52
Last year you would have thought that this would have been a back
15:56
and forth series against Anthony Edwards and it wasn't even
15:58
close. The best player on the court
16:00
throughout this series was no other than Anthony Edwards.
16:03
The question is, is this Timberwolves team good enough to
16:08
go all the way through the Western Conference?
16:10
As we've seen the Nuggets, the Clippers are still fighting to
16:14
get through the next round and then the Golden State Warriors
16:16
in OK C. And right now, whoever wins, and
16:19
if I'm not mistaken, whoever wins this Golden State Rocket
16:22
series would be playing the Timberwolves and then the
16:25
Timberwolves. And I think this might be the
16:27
easiest, you know, the position we've seen the Timberwolves go
16:31
all the way to the Western Conference because I think
16:32
they're better than the Rockets and they're better than the
16:34
Golden State Warriors. Jimmy Buckets is not 100%
16:38
healthy. And I think right now the
16:40
Timberwolves are playing their best basketball.
16:42
They're the healthiest they've ever been throughout the season
16:45
and they can make a run. I as a matter of fact, I
16:48
wouldn't even be surprised if the Timberwolves go all the way
16:50
to the finals this coming this year because I just think the
16:53
matchups, the way it's matched up for them throughout the
16:56
playoffs, who they have to go through.
16:59
OK CI don't think the Clippers, I don't think the Nuggets are
17:02
going to beat OK C as what we've seen so far in the playoffs.
17:06
I do believe the Timberwolves match up very, very well against
17:09
OK C with the athletic ability. And what if Anthony Edwards can
17:12
do what he did against the Lakers and Rudy Gobert can give
17:15
you the numbers that he was giving you in the series?
17:17
Why not? Why couldn't they beat the OK C
17:20
Thunder? So it's a lot of questions.
17:22
I love what I see with Anthony Edwards and even after the game,
17:25
his personality and he is so wrong on what people said about
17:31
this team and himself throughout the season.
17:34
Remember, they were a six seed last year.
17:36
I think if I'm not mistaken, they were a third seed in the
17:39
playoffs. So they didn't like the way they
17:41
were mistreated and what the way everybody thought that the
17:43
Lakers like yours truly, we're going to pulverize them in this
17:48
series. So congratulations to the Denver
17:50
Wolves. It was a fun series to watch,
17:51
for them at least. We talked about it at the trade
17:54
deadline to the Lakers question with their size and Rudy Gobert.
17:58
Definitely they exposed that in this game and it kind of took
18:00
them a while to get that adjusted because Anthony Edwards
18:02
was playing so well. So you're like, why are you
18:03
going to go off the hot hand type thing?
18:05
But then the Lakers started to take away Anthony.
18:07
Where's the Rudy Gobert went off?
18:08
And I think that's what Brian Windhorse was getting.
18:10
At. When he was saying that JJ
18:12
Redick never adjusted to anything like that. 27 and 24 is
18:17
unheard of numbers for any era of basketball.
18:19
Maybe besides the 1960s were. There any Yokich players we've
18:22
seen Yokich do this. Yokich is the exception to every
18:25
rule right now with the records he's putting up in the modern
18:27
era. But nevertheless like that, that
18:29
was a concern for their size. And that's why I think you were
18:31
re re dangling the Reeves for Robinson rumorship with the
18:33
Knicks because the Lakers knew they needed some extra size
18:35
after training Anthony Davis. Now obviously that doesn't
18:37
justify how much they fleece The Mavericks and Nico Harris and
18:40
all The Mavericks fan shouldn't just be gloating about the
18:42
Lakers losing either just because just because they lost
18:45
doesn't make the trade any worse than it was.
18:46
But nevertheless, the Lakers, they're going to need another
18:50
depth piece in the offseason because they definitely need.
18:52
More Why is Nico Harrison even speaking?
18:54
I don't know. Why is he bringing it up?
18:56
They they didn't even make the playoffs.
18:57
Why are they they didn't even make the the round of what?
19:00
The round of eight for the Western Conference?
19:02
Yeah, they. Won't.
19:04
He's trying to see why A So it makes it, it, it justifies the
19:07
trade. Nice try they would have had to
19:10
I. Don't think you can ever justify
19:12
what they just did. They will never.
19:13
Be able to do that until they make it to to the point that
19:16
they made it last year, which was to the NBA Finals, because
19:18
otherwise you're ever going to you're never going to say that.
19:21
Yeah, OK. You want to you want to take a
19:23
little credit with the Luka Doncic conditioning thing, OK.
19:25
But again, you brought in Anthony Davis, who got hurt in
19:27
your first game, so. Who doesn't want to be there by
19:30
the? Nevertheless, isn't about the
19:31
batteries about the Lakers and going back to the Minnesota
19:33
Timberwolves, though. And let's give them some props
19:35
too, because I was talking about it with Dante Di Vincenzo and
19:38
Julius Randall the bringing the Nomans and we we talked about
19:40
how bad Randall's been in the playoffs in the past.
19:43
He. Actually played well in the
19:44
season. Play a lot more efficiently,
19:45
kind of taking a mid range shooting type role.
19:49
He's not shooting as much any as many threes and Dave Vincenzo's
19:52
really just playing as a specialist.
19:53
I think they were adhering to that well and their coaching
19:55
staff and Anthony Edwards deserve credit for that so.
19:57
He's he's been unbelievable. He really has been.
20:00
I think both of them kind of figured out like where their
20:03
lane was and and how it fit with that team.
20:06
And I mean, obviously Rudy Gobert go doing what he did was
20:11
was was crazy. And we we've seen what Ant's
20:14
going to do. And yeah, you don't want to be
20:15
the face, but it's sometimes you are kind of not like you can say
20:22
you don't want to be the face, but you happen to be it just
20:25
because his personality and the things that he can do on the
20:28
court. And I love watching him and his
20:32
interviews are great. Like when he was walking out,
20:34
oh, they said Lakers, blah, blah, blah.
20:36
And then he's just laughing and just walking out like a normal
20:39
dude. And, you know, it's just, it's
20:41
one of those things where he doesn't really have a choice
20:46
because it's going to kind of happen.
20:48
It's it's how he embraces it and what he wants to do with it.
20:51
He can say he's not the face, which is fine.
20:54
I mean, it's kind of the same thing that Mike Trout did in
20:56
baseball. Like, I don't want to be the
20:58
face, but you're still talking. You're still at the forefront of
21:01
everything. You know what bothers me, Jabba?
21:02
I'm watching Carl Anthony Towns in the playoffs with the New
21:05
York Knicks and this Carl Anthony Towns, who's a
21:07
sensational player, and we were so happy that we thought we
21:10
fleeced the Timberwolves. We're watching Karl Anthony
21:14
Towns in this series. He hasn't been that good.
21:16
I mean, he's been up and down in this series.
21:18
He had one good game, one bad game, one good game and all bad
21:22
games. I mean, he hasn't played up to
21:24
par what we expect a Karl Anthony Towns to play.
21:27
He wanted to go to New York. And then you look at Julius
21:30
Randle. Julius Randle's playing well for
21:32
the Timberwolves as they almost swept the Lakers.
21:35
And then you have Dante Diva Chanzo.
21:36
We've seen what Dante Diva Chanzo and the Knicks in the
21:40
fight in the preseason and then obviously what it took took
21:43
Dante Diva Chancel to figure things out in the second-half of
21:45
the season. And now that he's figured it
21:47
out, he's been an important piece right now for the
21:50
Timberwolves. Wouldn't it be fitting to watch
21:52
the Timberwolves go all the way to the Finals and win a
21:54
championship with Randall and Dante Diva Chancel and the
21:57
Knicks get knocked out by the Detroit Pistons?
21:59
It makes me sick to my stomach and and it has a lot to do with
22:02
Carl Anthony Towns. And it really, really bothers me
22:05
when I watch Carl Anthony Towns play and he lays up a lousy
22:09
goose egg in a game that he should have taken over.
22:12
When, when your best player is not playing well and Julius and
22:15
Jaylen Brunson and you have a chance to take over a game.
22:18
And the same thing happened with the Timberwolves last year when
22:21
Anthony Edwards wasn't playing well.
22:23
You would, you would expect that Karl Anthony Towns would take
22:26
over for the team and, and, and shoot more of those threes and
22:29
really dominate the boards. Well, Karl Anthony talents did
22:32
not do that. And that's why they lost against
22:35
the Dallas Mavericks. And I, I could see why where,
22:38
where you look at Karl Anthony talents, the talent that he has,
22:41
the athletic ability as a big man, you could see how he
22:44
disappears in the big game. And it bothers me because that's
22:47
what we saw in Julius Randall. And that's why we were so happy.
22:50
And I know Fish would agree with me.
22:52
That's why we were so happy while when the Knicks landed a
22:55
Karl Anthony Towns. It just, it's just so fitting
22:58
that you watch the New York Knicks play and you watch Karl
23:01
Anthony Towns play in big games and not produce.
23:04
And then you watch Julius Randall put up the numbers he's
23:07
putting up and Dante Divichenzo being a specialist and really at
23:11
some points in the Lakers series just was absolutely dominating
23:15
shooting the three. So it's just, it's, and the
23:18
Knicks problem this year was shooting the three and they
23:21
traded, they had to trade Dante Diva Chancel.
23:23
I, I know a lot of Knick fans were not happy when the Knicks
23:27
added Dante Diva Chancel. You have to give a little bit or
23:30
you have to give a lot to get a great player.
23:32
And I but it's very fitting why why you watch a team like the
23:36
Timberwolves play the way they did in that series and knock off
23:39
Luca Dantic and LeBron James and and not have Karl Anthony Towns
23:43
and watch Karl Anthony Towns getting there, get their butts
23:46
whipped against a young Detroit Pistons team, which by the way,
23:50
has been out rebounding Karl Anthony Towns all series long.
23:54
It makes me sick. And let's get into the Pistons
23:57
in Knicks series. The Pistons beat the Knicks 106
24:01
to 103. Absolutely horrible to stay
24:03
alive in the series, which is now 3 to 2, which is on live
24:06
right now on MSG or actually TNT.
24:10
The Knicks where without Jalen Bronson and Josh Hart in the
24:14
final minutes of the game after both suffered injuries.
24:17
Through five games, the Pistons have 153 points off the bench
24:21
while the Knicks have 63, second least among playoff teams.
24:26
Tom Thibodeau said the Knicks do not need any significant lineup
24:31
or rotation changes, but just to play with more intensity.
24:35
What a crocky. You know what, I got to say
24:38
something. Tom Thibodeau loses his series.
24:41
If Tom Thibodeau doesn't win one or two games against the Celtics
24:45
and don't give the Celtics a challenge if they get through
24:48
this Piston series, he should be absolutely gone.
24:51
I don't know why any Knick fans think that this is OK.
24:55
Tom Thibodeau not calling a time out.
24:56
I don't care if he had one time out.
24:58
You had two minutes left and you want to get your two best
25:01
players in the game and you didn't get a chance to bring
25:04
them in into what, 30 seconds left of the game?
25:07
That's not not good enough and this New York Knick team had a
25:10
chance to win that game. It wasn't Kate, it wasn't the
25:13
Kate Cunningham show. It was everybody else that was
25:16
dominating the Knicks. And to me, I didn't.
25:18
See. Did they have a?
25:20
Did they have no timeout? They had a timeout, they had one
25:22
timeout. They could have called the
25:24
timeout and and and that's the problem.
25:26
They were trying. And if you know that your best
25:28
players aren't in, then foul. You need to get Jalen Brunson in
25:32
the game. Get somebody that is is not in
25:34
foul trouble and just. But obviously, they have to go
25:37
to the free throw line. And, and here's the thing, the
25:39
Knicks couldn't couldn't hit a free throw in that game if their
25:43
life depended on either, could they?
25:44
The Detroit Pistons, Thompson missed like four or five free
25:48
throws until he hit one. It was embarrassing.
25:51
That game was an embarrassment. And the New York Knicks had a
25:54
chance to end them in Madison Square Garden.
25:58
It's just I don't understand Tom Thibodeau.
26:01
I don't understand his reactions after the game telling me that
26:04
there shouldn't be any rotation changes.
26:06
What are you kidding me? First of all, and I'll say this
26:09
again, why is it Mitchell Robinson on the court with their
26:14
best players, OG Ananobi, Karl Anthony Towns and and Jaylen
26:18
Bronson? Why don't you rotate Mikhail
26:20
Bridges here and there? Why don't you rotate Josh Hart
26:23
off the bench? Try to give them more depth off
26:26
the bench. And McBride has been absolutely
26:28
horrible in this series. He couldn't hit a shot if his
26:31
because life depended on it. The watch and the Knicks does
26:34
give you Ajita. This is a Detroit Piston team
26:37
that's very, very young. And again, they're still trying
26:40
to figure things out with a coach that's been there for how
26:43
long? One year?
26:44
I mean, they're still trying to find their own identity.
26:48
Kate Cunningham is a great player.
26:49
He's sensational. But if the Knicks know that he
26:53
is dominating them when he goes to the hole, why isn't OG and
26:56
Anobi on the court defending against him?
26:59
You know he's your best outside perimeter defender.
27:02
Why isn't he defending Kate Cunningham the whole game?
27:06
It doesn't make sense when if you guys remember Miami when
27:10
they played Derrick Rose in the Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose was
27:13
the MVP. You guys remember that LeBron
27:15
James was one of the best defensive players in the league
27:18
and Derrick Rose was killing the Lakers, I'm sorry, killing the
27:22
Miami Heat the first two games he was dominating, going to the
27:25
Hall. You know what LeBron James
27:27
decided to do? He decided to take everything
27:29
into his own hands, and he defended Derrick Rose for the
27:32
rest of the series. Do you know how many games
27:34
Chicago won after that? 0 zilch.
27:38
And that's what your best defensive players, that's what
27:40
your best players are supposed to do, step up to the plate and
27:43
knock out the best player on the other team.
27:46
I don't understand Tom Thibodeau's theories and
27:49
thoughts after the game. You see that he's he's a deer in
27:52
the headlights. I don't even think he knows how
27:55
important this series is for the New York Knicks.
27:57
And it's not even it's not even drawn up that they're going to
28:01
play the Celtics in the next round because Detroit has
28:04
absolutely daggered them in certain parts of these games.
28:08
They have kept the games close. They've been putting pressure on
28:11
their best players. And Jaylen Bronson, he was
28:13
averaging over 30 points a game going into that game and then
28:18
lays up a lousy goose egg. I don't want to hear that He's
28:20
hurt. He don't play defense.
28:22
We expect Jaylen Bronson to put up a 30 spot against a team that
28:25
don't play defense on the perimeter either.
28:28
Kate Cunningham is not one of the best offenders at his
28:30
position in the league. He's a decent one.
28:32
He's not a great one. And how is Schroeder knifing
28:36
through the defense is the way he has in this series?
28:39
Schroeder, he is not a great offensive player.
28:42
He's a decent one. I remember when he was drafted.
28:45
He's good, but he's not great. It doesn't make any sense.
28:50
And there's no excuse to the team defense that we've seen all
28:53
season long. I think Tom Thibodeau has lost
28:56
his team. This is a defense.
28:57
This is a team that was one of the best defensive teams in the
29:00
league back-to-back years. Since Tom Thibodeau has taken
29:03
over, what happened to this defense?
29:06
What is going on with this team? It doesn't make any sense.
29:09
I don't care if they were the third seed, they should have
29:12
never finished as the number three seed because now you're
29:14
going, even if you get out of this series, you got to match up
29:17
against the green and white. And I don't want to see the
29:20
Knicks play the green and white the way the Celtics played
29:22
against Orlando, who, by the way, is a much better team than
29:26
the Detroit Piston. Kids.
29:27
Yeah, I also saw a stat. That the the three wing players
29:31
for the Knicks were shooting, I think 9 for 57 from a corner 3
29:35
standpoint, which is also inexcusable.
29:37
Like Jaylen Bronson and Karl Anthony Towns have hit their
29:40
share of threes, but like if nobody else could shoot threes,
29:42
that's something that you have to adjust to as a coach.
29:45
Next with Jaylen Bronson too, if you know he's like playing
29:47
banged up, like why are you having him still like attack so
29:50
much as as he is? Yes, he's your point guard.
29:52
Yes, he's the clutch player of the year in the NBA.
29:54
Fine, I'm not saying never do it, but don't wear him out so
29:57
much where you're already returning from injury pretty
30:00
early as it was at the end of the regular season.
30:02
And then there was the other part of that too.
30:04
If McBride is struggling as bad as he is, he still not should
30:07
not be remaining the backup point guard.
30:09
I know he's loyal to his ways because when Jalen Bronson got
30:11
hurt, he said, oh, Miles McBride is going to get more minutes.
30:13
Well, if you're not scoring, take him out of the game.
30:15
Leave him for defensive possessions only in that case,
30:18
you don't need him for offense. It's the same thing that
30:20
happened in the Pacer series too.
30:22
Miles McBride got really cold and then they never recovered
30:25
and when they had all those other injuries.
30:27
And I think Thibodeau does have to learn to just evolve.
30:29
It's not hard to get out. Why is McBride?
30:31
Playing if he's not hitting a shot.
30:33
How many point guards are right now on the bench playing for the
30:36
Knicks? We haven't seen any of them
30:38
because you know why? Fibs don't like to play younger
30:40
players. Kollek should be playing.
30:42
This is a guy that can dribble the ball, take the ball off,
30:45
play, defend multiple positions and do a lot of things right.
30:49
Why isn't he playing? You know why?
30:51
Because Thibodeau doesn't like to play young players.
30:53
It's disgraceful when your team is not playing great all around
30:57
basketball. You got to take chances.
31:00
That's what you do. If you're a good coach.
31:02
You take chances, win or lose. You could say, hey, I tried
31:05
everything. I did what I can.
31:07
I set up, you know, rotations that I thought would work
31:10
against a young, more talented, you know, athletic team.
31:14
And it's true there. Detroit is much more athletic
31:18
than the New York Knicks. They, the Knicks are playing
31:20
like an old team, even though they're not old.
31:21
They're playing old, old basketball.
31:24
That doesn't work against the Celtics.
31:26
That will not work against the Cavaliers, as we've seen what
31:29
Kenny Atkinson has drawn up in that series.
31:32
It's despicable and Thibodeau has no excuses.
31:35
He's the reason why they lost that game, and if they lose this
31:37
series, he'll be the reason why the Knicks don't advance.
31:41
Yep, and. Before you go fish, I just want
31:42
to mention the other guys you were mentioning too, because I
31:44
think the I think the game plan for the first two games was to
31:47
try to bracket Kate Cunningham and then let everyone else
31:50
score, which is something that hurt them when they played Miami
31:52
two years ago. And all these random guys are
31:54
going off because Thibodeau is trying to game plan for Butler.
31:56
And now all of a sudden you have, like you said, Dennis
31:58
Schroeder going off of the random points, Tobias Harris
32:01
going off on the random points, Tim Hardaway junior going off on
32:04
the mean random points. And Thompson.
32:06
Absolutely. Out rebounding Karl Anthony Town
32:09
very well and like you said, Mitchell Robinson.
32:11
Should get more minutes or just play the matchups accordingly
32:13
because the the piston size as being too much.
32:15
Even their wings, even their small forward power forward type
32:18
players are taller in general than the Knicks outside of on a
32:21
Nobi. Because that because the Knicks
32:23
are trying to play too many like heart at the three and stuff
32:26
like that. It just doesn't work that way
32:28
and I don't even care about the position labels as much as the
32:30
individual matchups. He's just getting out matched by
32:33
a coach that he with the Cavaliers.
32:35
They beat four games to 1-2 years ago.
32:36
It's the same coach and now you're getting out coached by
32:38
him. I kind of disagree.
32:40
I was. Kind of mesmerized by the lack
32:42
of defense as you guys were talking about it going on on the
32:45
court right now. The Knicks are up right now by
32:48
over 10 points after the beginning of the second.
32:51
They're doing well. The problem with the Knicks in
32:53
that game is they shot the ball horribly.
32:55
They were, I don't know, it was like 65% from the line speedy in
32:58
that game. I just kept missing grunts and
33:00
uncharacteristically had a terrible shooting night.
33:04
And I think Tibbs just said to himself, you know, we play this
33:07
game nine times, you know, 8 * 9 times out of 10, we win this
33:11
game if we just shoot normal as opposed to how we shot that
33:14
night. So I don't think, I think that's
33:16
why Errol, he said he didn't want to make adjustments.
33:18
He just thinks it was a bad shooting night.
33:20
My problem watching the game was what are you doing not getting
33:25
Bronson and Hart back on the floor when you had a couple of
33:28
minutes left in the game and a time out.
33:30
I know you want to save it, do something else.
33:33
I mean, you don't you don't really want to intentionally
33:35
foul when you're down. It's a couple of minutes left,
33:38
but I probably would have the the result was terrible.
33:41
Kate Cunningham is a problem guys.
33:44
That guy can play basketball at a real you know who he reminds
33:47
me of a little bit Errol. This is a throwback 90s
33:50
reference for you before he had the ankle problems.
33:53
He looks like Grant Hill. That's this is what he looks
33:56
like. He's he curls around, drives to
33:58
the hoop. He has that same kind of finish
34:01
ability, obviously very different air, but it's it's a
34:06
special talent that we're watching blossom before our eyes
34:09
on this team. You know who he reminds me of?
34:12
He reminds me of Clyde Drexler. That's who we That's
34:14
interesting. That's interesting.
34:16
I don't know if he gets up like that, but it it's he's really
34:19
talented, but his game his. Game is just like Clyde Drexler.
34:24
He likes to get into the pain. He can shoot.
34:26
Drexler could shoot. And when he was on Portland and
34:28
even when he went to the Rockets, he takes over games
34:31
because he defines the perimeter.
34:33
He completely dominates. He has a he has a spot, his
34:36
sweet spot. You if you notice Hal Burton,
34:38
when he goes to his left side, he sets up to get that shot.
34:42
He loves to do that fadeaway jumper.
34:44
He goes to the whole left, he can go to the whole right and he
34:47
goes up strong too, like Clyde Drexler dead.
34:49
So he actually reminds me of that's that's the type of game
34:53
that he reminds me of. I can see that he.
34:56
And he just toasted us without the two of those guys in there.
34:58
The problem for the Pistons is they also have no answer for
35:02
Jalen Brunson. And Schroeder is not going to do
35:05
it. They've thrown every defender at
35:07
him. He makes shot after shot.
35:09
He's going to win the Knicks this series like he does all the
35:11
time because he's one of the best players in all of
35:13
basketball and they're going to win because of him.
35:16
But it's a lot uglier than we would like that.
35:19
It's a very physical Pistons team.
35:21
They're really letting up. Karl Anthony Towns know he needs
35:25
to to step up his physicality if he's going to be a playoff
35:27
contributor at the level that we need him.
35:29
OG Annanobi has played. Very well in this series
35:32
defensively and offensively. Ever since he's come back from
35:35
his injury, he's looked really, really good on the basketball
35:38
court and and honestly the best player all around in this series
35:42
is OG Annanobi. He's defended multiple
35:44
positions. And why isn't he playing Kate
35:47
Cunningham? I don't get it.
35:48
Does nobody? Does he?
35:49
Should be. He should be.
35:51
Mirroring him the whole game. I don't he doesn't disagree.
35:54
What his dubs? Tibbs is a switching man
35:56
defense. He could change that.
35:58
He. Should change that, that I don't
36:00
think a coach. Is going to change this point in
36:01
the season unless you know you might throw his own at him every
36:04
once in a while that that that's something they go those guys do.
36:07
But if his principles are you know you you switch on
36:10
everything that's what they play.
36:13
You know what I mean for better or for worse and I would say for
36:16
worse in this series. I agree with you, it's a
36:19
problem. My bigger issue is the like you
36:21
said, McBride not ready for the moment.
36:24
Second year in a row in the playoffs campaign, not my
36:28
favorite player in the NBA. The two of them try to share the
36:32
duties when they're in as the backup point guard.
36:34
I'll tell you both on the court at the same.
36:36
Time. What could possibly go wrong?
36:37
I'll tell you this. I'll.
36:39
Tell you this, they're big, man. Duran Duran was drafted by the
36:42
New York Knicks. He was drafted by the New York
36:45
Knicks and then traded Duran to Detroit and they obviously got
36:49
Detroit's pick, which was part of the Mikkel Bridges trade.
36:53
And, and, and look what Duran's done in this series.
36:55
He's absolutely dominated the I'd rather have.
36:57
Duran than Mitchell Robinson just for the health and the fact
37:00
that he's a little younger but similar type of player as Mitch.
37:04
I would say Mitch's look good in his minutes he's played, but
37:08
he's just a backup center right now.
37:10
He comes in for Towns when Towns needs his blows.
37:13
They're not playing them together really, and I think
37:15
they're going to need a whole offseason to figure that out
37:18
with the two of them that's the problem.
37:19
Oh, it's very simple. You're.
37:20
Going what they're going to do, for that matter what they're
37:22
going to do, and I'm going to tell you what the Knicks are
37:24
going to do. They're going to use they're
37:26
going to trade Robinson, they're going to trail, they're going to
37:28
trade Mikhail Bridges. They're going to try to go after
37:31
Dante Divacento in the offseason and bring him back here because
37:34
they need perimeter shooting. And I, I do believe Dante wants
37:37
to come back to New York. He is a free agent after this
37:40
year. So that could happen.
37:41
Not Julius Randall, but I can see Dante Diva chance.
37:43
Oh, and I couldn't I could believe that the Knicks will do
37:47
whatever they can to go after Giannis into the Kupo if if he
37:50
becomes available. If he what would you have to
37:52
give up for him though? It's very simple.
37:55
You would. Have to trade McBride, I would
37:58
probably say Robertson, Carl Anthony Towns and somebody else.
38:01
I'm trading Towns in that deal I.
38:03
Absolutely would. I absolutely will.
38:05
You're doing it to have them play together.
38:07
You're doing it to towns? No way.
38:09
Who's terrible defending the pain?
38:12
That's the problem this year. He can't defend the pain at the
38:15
You're going to have to trade. Karl Anthony Towns for Giannis,
38:18
absolutely 0% chance. Really that how they.
38:21
Going to pay Karl Anthony Towns, Giannis and Jaylen Bronson and
38:24
Miguel Bridges trades like that because.
38:26
This is the team, but here's here's another thing.
38:28
Point card situation, they could they could sign and trade Miguel
38:31
Bridges. Miguel Bridges is he's the guy
38:33
that would move in. Miguel Bridges is a.
38:35
Guy that the Knicks could sign and then trade him in a trade.
38:39
But I, I absolutely believe you're going to have to trade
38:41
Karl Anthony Towns. And I disagree with you.
38:43
McBride, Bridges. Mitch and a bunch of seconds and
38:48
maybe a first down the road. Probably enough.
38:51
I don't think so. He's also.
38:52
On his way out if that's. The case, but he might not be
38:54
trying to go anywhere. He's he's hasn't floated that he
38:57
just everyone just figures that he would because it's the
39:00
logical thing to do at this point in your career when you're
39:02
in like this small market for so long.
39:05
But again, he was from the streets of Greece, man.
39:07
Like he loves this game at a level that only a few do.
39:11
And that's why he's so I think that the Knicks.
39:13
And I'll go back to what you were saying.
39:15
If the Knicks bring in Giannis, I trade Karl Anthony Towns, I
39:18
trade McHale Bridges and try to go after Devin Booker.
39:21
Devin Booker will become available in the offseason.
39:23
There are stories coming out that that the Phoenix Suns will
39:26
be interested in trading him because I do believe Kevin
39:30
Durant is opting, opting out of the contract.
39:32
And what are you going to have? You can have Bradley Beal and
39:34
Kevin and Devin Booker there. That's not going to happen.
39:36
Devin Booker will become a available and we all know Leon
39:39
Rose, it was his agent before he decided to take over the New
39:42
York Knicks job. So Devin Booker could be in
39:45
addition to the New York Knicks and so could a Giannis antenna
39:48
Kupo. I think that would make more
39:50
sense than keeping Karl Anthony Towns there and playing with
39:53
Giannis. It doesn't make any sense.
39:55
I don't see that. I think that makes a lot of.
39:57
Sense I don't compliment each other very well.
39:59
One's an inside guy, one's an outside guy.
40:01
Carl Anthony Towns. Carl Anthony Towns doesn't not
40:04
play better, does not play well with another big man on the
40:08
court. Go ask Rudy Gobert, OK?
40:10
Like he was not very different. It doesn't.
40:13
Matter. Rudy Gobert.
40:14
And Giannis? Giannis.
40:15
Is a point. How are they?
40:17
Well, hold on one. 2nd Giannis is a good defender, right?
40:20
That's what he is. He's a good defender.
40:21
He's a good defender, which he's so.
40:24
Mobile and he covers up for so much around the rim.
40:27
If they so does Rudy Gobert. He was.
40:29
Defensive Player of the Year twice.
40:31
So is he, but it's on the offense.
40:34
I disagree with you, Gobert. Is a 0.
40:36
Karl Anthony Towns has. Not played well with a big man
40:39
playing beside him and I do not believe him.
40:42
It's too many big men on the court taking up too much room.
40:45
It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't.
40:48
They compliment. Each other.
40:49
If you're going to do it, those are the two guys to do it with.
40:52
It is a really hard thing to do. 2 centers.
40:54
Very few teams have ever been successful with it in the modern
40:57
era. I mean I can't even think of one
40:59
since until you unless you go back to like the 80s with like
41:02
Elijah no Tim. Duncan and David Robinson.
41:05
Duncan and Robinson is the last. One that was 99 two thousand,
41:08
but that's but that's when they were true.
41:10
Centers. That's like now when there
41:13
wasn't five out. Sets well every time.
41:15
Duncan was a. Four.
41:16
And David Robinson was a five. It was.
41:18
And Duncan did play 5, but he was more known as a four.
41:23
Yeah, he was more of a four. But if I go back and I I really
41:26
think about it, Bynum and and Shaquille O'Neal, I think they
41:29
played together. They were pretty good together
41:31
at one point. They were good.
41:33
I don't think they ever crossed paths.
41:34
I think they were. I think Bynum and.
41:36
Shaquille did play speedy. Look that up.
41:38
I'm pretty sure Jack went to the heat.
41:40
At that point, and then they drafted and then they drafted
41:43
I'm. Pretty sure I'm.
41:45
Pretty sure Bynum maybe. OK, maybe it was what's his name
41:48
again? Who played from came from
41:50
Memphis? Who's a big man Who came from
41:53
bet Memphis? Speedy, you should know this Mr.
41:56
I know everything. Who's Kobe?
42:00
'S good friend he was. The I forget it's all yes.
42:03
Good, Saul. Yeah, he was.
42:05
Bynum was. Drafted in O5 the year that so
42:07
it was, it was. Gasol and Bynum, they played
42:10
together and they played very, very well together.
42:12
Yeah, Yeah, that's probably it. That's probably the last one I I
42:16
I could go. Back if I think about it, I
42:17
could probably think of something else, but or last
42:20
notable 1 yes. But if you really.
42:22
Really think about it, you can. There are teams that it has
42:25
worked with. I just think you don't do so.
42:27
Many moves like this, if you're the Knicks, you don't keep doing
42:31
all this unsettling of the of the locker room.
42:33
You don't trade friends you already traded one you're not
42:36
going to get away with trading 2.
42:38
It's just not a good culture builder.
42:40
Unlike my fantasy teams. You know that if you play like
42:43
Madden and like NBA2K, they actually have like a chemistry
42:46
thing that doesn't let you make trades like this frequently
42:49
every year or something. I and I always turn it off
42:52
because like you want to make your team stacked and everything
42:55
and I don't think you can do that in real life and I don't
42:57
think the Knicks should do that. I think they need to look around
43:00
the edges. I would improve McBride.
43:02
I've, this is 2 years in a row where I'm not impressed with him
43:05
in the playoffs. He's still young.
43:07
Maybe you give him another shot, but I would try to improve
43:09
there. He's he's got a.
43:11
Very good contract. I think he's making 12 million a
43:14
year, so the Knicks could absolutely move that.
43:17
Actually, he's not making. He's making 3,000,000 a year.
43:19
He just signed, I think it was three years, 12 million or
43:23
something like that, a 4 million, but he's not making a
43:25
lot of money. I would trade McGraw is the guy
43:27
I want. That's why I think that if if
43:30
this team does not beat the if they get through Detroit and
43:34
they play the Celtics and they can't beat or make even
43:37
challenge the Celtics in that series, you're going to have to
43:40
move Karl Anthony Towns. You're going to have to move
43:42
McHale Bridges. I think you have to rebuild this
43:45
team from the inside out. Now, that doesn't mean that you
43:48
have to get rid of Josh Hart or you don't have have to get rid
43:51
of Jaylen Bronson, but you need more defense.
43:53
OG and Anobi stays there. I think you need more defense.
43:56
You had a Giannis, you had a guy a shoot like a shooter like
43:59
Devin Booker. I would go that route and bring
44:02
in a Dante Diva Chenzo back. I think that makes more sense.
44:05
I don't know if the Knicks are going to do that, but the Knicks
44:07
need more depth. They don't have depth and it's
44:11
been a big problem throughout the season and they depend too
44:14
much on Jaylen Bronson and Karl Anthony Townsend.
44:16
When they're both not playing, they can't score.
44:19
It's been a big problem. Mikhail Bridges, who I love, I
44:22
actually love Mikhail Bridges. He just hasn't had a good season
44:25
with the Knicks this year. Maybe he needs to figure things
44:28
out, maybe a full year and an offseason with the Knicks.
44:31
Because you remember he was traded to the Knicks before
44:33
preseason, just about when preseason was about to start.
44:36
So really didn't get any time to practice with some of these
44:39
guys. He did go on a couple of
44:41
podcasts, including, you know, what do they call their show?
44:44
I don't remember what Jalen Brunson calls the show.
44:46
The guys, roommates. Roommates.
44:48
That's what I was about to say, the guys next door, but
44:50
whatever. But oh, hey, now, yeah, who
44:52
knows, But they might be. I, I, I would, I would actually
44:56
predict that Josh Hart is the guy next door.
44:58
But nevertheless, I, I do believe that Karl Anthony Towns
45:03
does not play play well with another big man.
45:06
And I think that the Knicks are going to have to decide very
45:08
carefully in the offseason if Karl Anthony Towns is a long
45:12
term guy. Remember, he's 30 years old.
45:14
He's going to be 31 next year. If you're going to bring a
45:16
Giannis who's going to be 32, I think you Giannis is only 30. 31
45:21
in December, right? So he'll be 32.
45:23
Next year he'll be 3131. Next year.
45:26
He'll be. Yes, he'll be. 31 this year,
45:28
Isn't he going to be 31? How old is he?
45:30
Right? When's his birthday, Speedy?
45:33
You should be looking this up. You are the producer of the
45:36
show. I got it.
45:37
I got. It I.
45:38
Got it but he should, he's the producer when people are saying
45:41
things he should be instead of watching the game, which he's
45:43
sticking his head out in the game, he should be concentrating
45:46
on the show. But I, I have no idea why his
45:48
hat has his head up his ass. ESPN reports that the Pacers
45:52
organization has told Tyrese Halliburton's father, John that
45:56
he is no longer allowed to attend any Pacer playoff games
46:01
for the the rest of this season. This came after a confrontation
46:06
with Giannis after the Pacers eliminated the Bucks in Game 5
46:09
saying how he treated Giannis was disrespectful.
46:12
That was Hal Burton's Hal Burton saying about his father.
46:15
Cuz speedy, didn't you know, really explain that?
46:17
Giannis said he was waving a towel and swearing at him after
46:22
the game and Giannis said it was a green light for him to to be
46:28
disrespected or disrespectful towards Hal Burton's father.
46:32
Stephen A Smith said that the NBA has to discipline Hal
46:36
Burton's father and says this isn't the first time this
46:41
incident has happened during a game.
46:43
Charles Barkley said if he was Giannis, I mean he was, I'm
46:48
sorry. If he was in Giannis's position
46:52
when he was playing, it would have been a lot more violent.
46:56
Tyrese Halliburton even said to his father that there is no
46:59
place for this among basketball fans and he acted irrationally
47:05
because he was very excited. The Pacers advanced to the
47:10
second round after beating the Bucks 119 to 118 on a buzzer
47:14
beater by Halliburton and will face the Cavaliers in the second
47:18
round. First of all, they don't have
47:20
any chance against the Cavaliers.
47:22
I I do not believe they match up very well against the Cavaliers,
47:26
especially the way Kenny Atkinson has his team playing
47:28
defensively. I absolutely agree with Charles
47:32
Barkley. If I was Yannis, I would have
47:35
knocked his father out. You come on the basketball court
47:39
and you're threatening and swear, swearing at me when I'm
47:43
one of the best players still in the league.
47:44
I was an MVP, I won 2 MVP's in the NBA and you're going to
47:49
attack me? What does your son want?
47:51
That's what I would have said. What does your son won?
47:53
He's won nothing on a basketball court.
47:56
He's never been up for an MVP. He's not even the best point
47:59
guard in the Eastern Conference. I I would just go right at him.
48:02
And I would have said that to Halliburton's father.
48:05
But nevertheless, I think what Giannis is, he's a, he's a real
48:08
pro. He's not going to go out there.
48:10
He's not going to swear or threaten anybody.
48:13
Remember, this is a kid that really has had an amazing story.
48:17
This is a guy that came from Nigeria, went to Greece, and
48:22
then somehow I got into the NBA and it took him a couple years
48:26
and became a superstar right in front of her eyes.
48:29
This is a guy that a lot of people thought was never even
48:31
going to be a first round talent and if he wasn't drafted in the
48:34
top 16, might have never played in the NBA.
48:37
It's a crazy story and if you haven't checked that out, go on
48:40
Disney. But Stephen A Smith is
48:43
absolutely right as well. This shouldn't be going on in an
48:46
NBA game. The NBA should have security
48:48
guards and police officers protect their players.
48:52
I know it's Hal Burton's father. I know he was excited, but we've
48:56
seen this many, many times. We talked about Danny Hurley and
48:58
what Danny Early was doing the Edie, Zach Edie in a college
49:02
championship game and what he was saying to the players.
49:05
I could say the same about Hal Burton's father.
49:08
But guess what? Hal Burton's father is not a
49:10
coach. He's not assistant coach.
49:12
He is a fan. He should not be allowed to step
49:14
on a basketball court. No matter if his son wins or if
49:18
his son loses. There should be some kind of
49:20
control and this is again, the LJA, the LeBron James
49:24
Association, as LeBron James for years has had his family after
49:29
winning championship after championship, run on the
49:31
basketball court and, and, and cheer and celebrate with LeBron
49:36
James. The NBA needs to find a way to
49:38
protect their players because who knows what can happen in the
49:40
future. Maybe a guy with a gun or a
49:43
knife or something of that magnitude.
49:45
Could you imagine that happened after a basketball game?
49:48
I mean, John Marantz dancing and prancing around shooting, you
49:51
know, shooting the, I mean, he doesn't have a gun in his hands,
49:54
but he's shooting his fingers up in the air.
49:56
And we all know what John Moran's done off the basketball
49:59
court. But it's it's starting to make
50:01
me worried that professional athletes are not protected by
50:05
the league. The league needs to figure out
50:08
why this is happening. How about in Ranger games after
50:11
the Rangers win a series or knockout a team that the Ranger
50:14
fans are knocking out other fans or we've seen that at Madison
50:18
Square Garden. Why isn't there security?
50:21
Why isn't there enough security in these playoff games where
50:24
they can protect the fans and protect the players?
50:27
I I just don't get it. And how Burton's father is she
50:31
should be ashamed of himself. You're going to talk to Giannis
50:34
and one of the best, the Greek Freak, one of the best young,
50:37
one of the best young stars that the NBA has provided over the
50:41
last 20 years. And you're going to go after him
50:43
because he got knocked out because one of his players, one
50:46
of the best, better point guards in the NBA, got knocked out with
50:49
a Kelly Achilles tear. I mean, seriously, it makes his
50:52
son. It makes his son look.
50:54
Terrible it does, but you know I.
50:56
Like what Hal Burton said after the game saying that there's no
51:00
that, that there's no right, that is he had no right to go on
51:03
the basketball court and say what he said to Giannis and that
51:07
he says this doesn't, this doesn't work and it shouldn't
51:09
fit in the NBA. So I like that Hal Burton came
51:12
out. He's a young star in this
51:14
league. I'm sure he's embarrassed by his
51:16
father, but it shows his. But did you see his mom?
51:19
His mom hit. Giannis Yep, Yep.
51:22
I I don't care. They didn't say.
51:23
Anything about her? No.
51:25
Because she's a woman. That's that's why they they're
51:28
not going to say that you think that both should be held
51:30
accountable 100. Percent. 100% and Charles
51:33
Barkley is absolutely going back to Charles Barkley.
51:36
I love what Charles has to Charles has to say because if it
51:38
was Charles Barkley, Charles Barkley would have knocked him
51:41
the hell out. Charles Barkley would have
51:43
knocked him fight. Could you imagine him running
51:46
Halliburton's father running to Ron Artest and calling him now?
51:49
Could you imagine what Ron Artest would have done to him if
51:52
he was mouthing off to Metta World Peace?
51:54
I mean seriously, that was before Metta World.
51:56
Peace. I'm just saying if.
51:58
Peaceful now? Yeah, Well.
52:00
That's what. He says he is 2 piece back then,
52:02
yeah. But you don't go on.
52:05
The basketball court and attack somebody of this magnitude and
52:08
think that you're not get, you're not going to have
52:10
repercussions. It's embarrassing and the NBA
52:13
needs to clean this up. Adam Silver should be
52:15
controlling the fans after the games.
52:18
I see so many times after the games that the fans are allowed
52:22
to step. Spike Lee, he is obviously a
52:25
famous director. He's always on the sidelines at
52:27
the Madison Square Garden and all these superstars are going
52:30
to the game after the game. Why are they allowed to step on
52:33
the basketball court and have conversations with the athletes?
52:36
What makes them better than the fans?
52:38
They're paying the same amounts. But let me ask you like so.
52:42
If they come on the court. You're basically in my.
52:46
Office and you start talking trash or whatever and then I
52:51
bust you upside the head and then you sue.
52:54
Me A. 100% you're literally like losing for losing.
52:58
You can't do anything if if he punches him and knocks him out
53:02
and breaks his jaw. He's he's in the right.
53:07
Well, I wouldn't. I wouldn't blink twice.
53:10
But what's he going to do? Oh, he hit me.
53:12
I didn't do anything to him. Well, you know how many times
53:15
we've dared people jump in the bullpen talking garbage?
53:18
How about if you? Step Jabba, how about this?
53:21
I'm sorry to cut. You off?
53:22
How about if you? Were on the mount and you were
53:24
in the 9th inning. Game seven of the World Series
53:28
and you strike out the side and you jump in the air and
53:31
celebrate and all of a sudden some crazy guy comes out from
53:35
the the fans in the audience and jumps in the middle of the pile
53:39
and smacks you in the back of the head.
53:40
What are you supposed to do? Stand there and take it?
53:43
You just won a World Series and this guy, another fan from the
53:46
other team, from the Padres, comes out and smacks you in the
53:49
side of the head. What do you do?
53:50
You're going to stand there and take it.
53:52
No, you're going to knock him the F out.
53:53
That's what you're going to do, and you're going to get 2 for
53:55
it. You know what's crazy, though?
53:57
Is we have a meeting about that in spring training, like when
54:00
people storm the field, because if you remember it was probably
54:05
10810 years. Ago.
54:08
Matt Diaz, outfielder for the Braves, tripped the dude that
54:11
was running and he tried to sue him.
54:13
I remember that by the way. I do remember that.
54:15
And so they're like, don't touch.
54:16
Him and I'm like, you're literally on our field.
54:20
Like what are we supposed to do? Like I'm trying to if you're
54:22
running at me. Like the dude that ran on the.
54:26
Field in the football game and, and I don't remember who it was,
54:29
but they tackled the guy like we can't protect ourselves.
54:32
And it makes it even worse that it's a father that comes on and
54:36
I get heat of the moment and we've all done dumb stuff in the
54:38
heat of the moment. But you got to have a little
54:40
feel to, to one of the best players in the world.
54:43
And the way he just looked at him.
54:46
I, I give him all the credit in the world for not like as you're
54:49
head to head to just not grab him by the throat and throw him
54:52
down. All the credit in the world to
54:54
Giannis for not doing anything. Because I agree.
54:57
I, I would have snapped, like especially in that situation.
55:00
Obviously let him beat me off the dribble.
55:03
And you know, I'm pissed at myself and losing the series.
55:07
Like I, I commend him because I would have, I would have two
55:11
piece chicken and a fry with him.
55:13
I would have made that thing go hard.
55:16
Yeah. And you, You always.
55:17
Wonder. This fan versus player
55:18
relationship type thing we've seen in especially in the NBA
55:20
because it's just hard because it's they're courtside, they're
55:23
right there compared to other sports where it's a little more
55:25
distant with the way the field is.
55:27
And we've seen this with Russell Westbrook.
55:28
We've seen this with James Harden in the past.
55:31
We've seen it it's a lot of instances like that.
55:33
Obviously the the Knicks fans with Trey Young was a big deal
55:36
when they play in the playoffs, but it really good crosses the
55:39
line when you're doing it like that close to a player like
55:42
that. Fans are going to fight with
55:43
fans all the time. It's going to happen with Eddie
55:45
fan base like Errol saying Raiders fans are fighting with
55:47
each other. We've how many times do we see
55:49
Oakland Raiders fans get into parking lot brawls with each
55:52
other? But when you're doing it to a
55:53
player like you're watching the game to go see them and see them
55:57
shine the way they are and now you're going after young.
55:59
But it's. Speedy, It's one thing to do it
56:02
from the stands, but it's another to do it when you're on
56:04
the damn court. Yeah.
56:05
And again, there's there's a. Limit to.
56:07
Obviously you can hack goal, you can Boo them all you want, you
56:09
could do all the trash talking during the game is fine.
56:12
But whatever he's saying must have crossed in the line using
56:14
all you're a multi billion. Dollar organization, the New
56:17
York Knicks, they're one of the richest.
56:19
If the Knicks were to sell their team right now, James Dolan,
56:22
sell their team, they'll make like $12 million off the New
56:25
York Knicks and the organization you're talking about a
56:28
basketball game. Giannis is one of the biggest
56:30
superstars in the NBA and there's no protection after the
56:33
game. There's no security that could
56:35
protect this guy when somebody's running on a bad basketball
56:38
court and wife smacking him in the back of the head and this
56:41
guy's yelling and cursing and saying these disgusting things
56:45
to him after getting knocked out of the playoffs because one of
56:48
your best players was knocked out in Game four-game 5 because
56:51
of Achilles tear. I mean, it's disrespectful.
56:53
The Pacers are becoming the bad boys of the NBA right in front
56:58
of our eyes. Everybody keeps talking about
56:59
Detroit, but the Pacers last year, remember what they did in
57:01
the Knicks? How many times?
57:03
How many times? Yeah, they were.
57:05
They were. Hitting the Knicks and and Rick
57:07
Carlisle, he's a a great coach, an aggressive defensive coach.
57:11
When they won, when Dallas won the championship with Dirk
57:14
Nowinski and that team, they played very aggressively against
57:17
Miami. That's why they won that series.
57:19
The same thing goes to the Pistons.
57:21
They don't have superstars on a team.
57:23
What's the biggest name on that team right now?
57:25
Who's the biggest name? Halberton, That is the biggest
57:28
name. I'm sorry, I'm talking about the
57:30
Pacers. The biggest name on the Pacers
57:33
is Halpern. After Halpern, who's the other
57:35
star? Who's the other star that they
57:37
have? And Siakam is not even.
57:40
Really a star. He's a great player.
57:42
He's not a star. So it it it says a lot about
57:45
this team and the way they play. They play rough, they play very
57:49
good defensively and they have a great bench.
57:52
That's why the Pacers have always given teams like the
57:54
Knicks problems because the Knicks have no depth.
57:56
So it's despicable. It shouldn't have been done.
57:59
And the NBA needs to protect these players.
58:02
They're superstars for years to come.
58:04
Because I don't like it. I don't like this how how a
58:06
player like this of this magnitude who's done nothing to
58:09
anybody. Have you ever seen Yannis go out
58:11
there and try to say something or disrespect anybody on a
58:15
basketball? Never.
58:16
You don't ever hear anything about.
58:17
Him, really, I'm always amazed at.
58:20
How like soft and well spoken he is in the reviews.
58:23
You know how how he's always and he came out in this interviews
58:26
like I just believe you should handle yourself like a
58:28
gentleman. I was like, this guy is so.
58:32
Intense on the court and he's so reserved off the court.
58:35
It's really impressive. He is, honestly.
58:38
He's the type of guy you want to root for.
58:40
And Halliburton is the type of guy you don't want to root for.
58:43
I couldn't stand. I loved when he was going to
58:46
against Jalen Brunson and WWE events after they had their
58:50
playoff series. It was pretty cool that he did
58:53
that. His father doing this is out of
58:54
control. I can't believe the Pacers were
58:56
the ones that stepped in and said them that they're banned
58:58
from all of their games. Not like it's home, Not the LJA.
59:03
Rd. Yeah, like it's just like,
59:04
listen, you got to do it. And Errol, you had a theory that
59:07
you shared with me earlier today on why they did that.
59:12
And I thought, I think it's a good time for you to share with
59:13
them because why would they want to be so afraid of that?
59:17
Well, and and I I didn't. Want to mention it because I I
59:20
can answer and and mention that after the offseason, but Giannis
59:24
is going to be available in the offseason.
59:26
A lot of people believe that and the Pacers are an organization
59:28
that has a tremendous amount of room to bring in another
59:31
superstar to play with Albertan and Giannis, that he's a big man
59:35
and he he needs that other point guard to run the point.
59:38
It would make a lot of sense on why the Pacers are one of those
59:42
teams and one of those organization has a ton of stock
59:45
when it comes to draft picks to trade for a Giannis into the
59:48
coupo. And and now after this happened,
59:50
do you think Giannis wants to go over there to India, Indiana and
59:54
play with the Pacers? No, So you have Hal Burton
59:57
coming out and and protecting the players and protecting
1:00:00
Giannis. Maybe that gives Giannis a
1:00:02
thought. Hey, maybe the Pacers aren't
1:00:04
that bad. But if I was Giannis right now
1:00:06
and if he becomes available, which he probably will, do you
1:00:08
want to go and play for the Pacers now after what Hal
1:00:11
Burton's father? This ruins any chance they have.
1:00:14
To land a guy like Giannis I, it's just pathetic.
1:00:17
Maybe not though. If if Halliburton reached out to
1:00:21
him and be like, hey, that was my pops, it wasn't me.
1:00:24
You've obviously seen the way. I just want to pay my respects.
1:00:27
Like if it depends on how it was handled on the other end.
1:00:31
And obviously we have ways of getting hold of each other's
1:00:34
numbers. So I would hope that he would
1:00:37
have handled it in in that manner because it obviously
1:00:41
wasn't him. It was his father.
1:00:43
And so hopefully he did. So I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't
1:00:48
say. But this as of now, not knowing
1:00:52
the insides of it, I would like if it was me in that situation
1:00:56
happened, I'd if, if they even call, I'd be like, go the kite.
1:00:59
But if he was like, Hey, you know what?
1:01:01
That ain't me. That was him.
1:01:03
I had nothing to do with it. I apologize for him and you
1:01:08
know, let's let's let's try to move on.
1:01:10
I think it's just how it's handled by the way the the
1:01:13
Knicks are screwing. This up again the the Knicks had
1:01:15
a 15 point lead in the second quarter and now I if I'm not
1:01:19
mistaken, they're down in this quarter.
1:01:21
So it's typical New York Knicks fashion They're up one on.
1:01:25
Our end. Oh, OK, so well.
1:01:26
They were up by 15 though. And now?
1:01:28
They're they were up by 1. It's what happened now I don't
1:01:31
you're you're probably a lot ahead of ahead of us.
1:01:34
So it just I'm watching stream. So it's on another stream.
1:01:38
If I go to another stream, it was it was a buzzer.
1:01:40
Beater at the end of the quarter.
1:01:42
At the end of the half, the other.
1:01:44
Three, it's down to at. Halftime, it's typical.
1:01:47
It's it's a typical New York Knick wet goes on runs.
1:01:51
And they don't hold up well defensively.
1:01:54
So it's just trading runs. I don't know how that's going to
1:01:57
get you to a championship. There's something needs to be
1:02:00
done. Yeah.
1:02:00
It's called coaching. It's called.
1:02:02
Coaching the the coaching. You just wonder, you know, I.
1:02:05
I think I made this. I don't know who's on the air or
1:02:07
off the air, but I when the Golden State moved on from Mark
1:02:10
Jackson, Mark Jackson had raised that young group together and
1:02:14
was their coach and brought them to a certain point.
1:02:16
But then they didn't believe he can go past that point.
1:02:19
And Mark Jackson hasn't coached really since.
1:02:22
And I'm wondering if the Knicks are thinking the same about
1:02:26
Thibodeau at this point. Thibodeau has not won before.
1:02:28
He's been an assistant on winning on the Celtics when they
1:02:31
won, but he hasn't won as a head coach.
1:02:34
His style, people are upset about the minutes.
1:02:35
People are upset about, you know, being so ardent in the way
1:02:39
that he plays. And if he doesn't have the guy,
1:02:41
it's almost like Wink Martindale.
1:02:43
And like the defense the Giants try to run.
1:02:45
They didn't have the guys, but he wanted to run it that way
1:02:47
anyway. Tips is like that.
1:02:49
Tips is very similar to that. This is what I run.
1:02:52
I'm going to be smart enough to adjust with everybody, but this
1:02:55
is what we do. If you could beat that, you win.
1:02:58
And teams can beat that, unfortunately in the playoffs
1:03:00
right now. Team defense.
1:03:02
You're not going to win. It becomes a half court game and
1:03:04
the Knicks have not really produced any team defense in
1:03:08
this series. And if Detroit wins this game
1:03:11
there, it's going to be very, very hard to go back to Madison
1:03:13
Square Garden with the with the momentum on Detroit's side and
1:03:16
go to Madison Square Garden in a Game 7 and knock off Detroit.
1:03:19
I think the pressure will be on the Knicks.
1:03:21
And even if the Knicks somehow pull it out, then they got to
1:03:24
deal with the Celtics with probably a week's worth of time
1:03:27
to rest it. It's really the Knicks are just
1:03:30
a team that just makes you. It just pulls your heart right
1:03:33
out. Anyways, speaking go pull your
1:03:35
heart right out. We call our new segment King of
1:03:39
the Hill, and here's the. King of the Hill, this Bobby, is
1:03:43
the. Beltline you never, ever hit
1:03:46
below that. Not that kind of king of the.
1:03:48
Hill, you dumb are. You ready?
1:03:51
This is. King of the.
1:03:51
Hill, OK. Welcome to King of the.
1:03:58
Hill, you come at the king. Tic Tac toast.
1:04:02
Not miss. So this is a new type of game.
1:04:06
It's going to be everybody in the first round, as many people
1:04:10
as we have. We only have 3 competitors.
1:04:12
Today. But it's the peasant round, the
1:04:14
peasants are going to fight it out until there are two fighters
1:04:17
out of my ass. Who are going to then joust?
1:04:20
It out in Round 2 for the chance to take on the king and as long
1:04:26
as she's using dude. Wipes and taking care of my 2
1:04:28
hole. I'm good.
1:04:30
I can't tell. From the pictures.
1:04:32
Errol Marx is our current king, but I look fat.
1:04:35
Whoever wins. What's going on over there?
1:04:37
Well, there's a lot. There's a hill in there.
1:04:39
There's a picture of Long Island in there, a couple of one more
1:04:42
from The Wire and you are superimposed over The Notorious
1:04:45
B.I.G. There we go.
1:04:46
So a lot going on in this graphic, but take on the King is
1:04:51
the final round. So I'm going to reveal the first
1:04:54
round topic for us. So Java, myself and Speedy.
1:04:57
We are going to see who can do the most of these.
1:05:00
An arrow. You judge who gets eliminated.
1:05:04
And. Moves on.
1:05:05
Let's go. All right, so here we go.
1:05:06
Round one peasant fight reasons, Chador fell to the fifth round.
1:05:13
You got a rapid fire. Give a reason, next person gives
1:05:16
a reason. Just keep keep going down the
1:05:18
line. Start it with speedy.
1:05:21
Yep, I think the main 1 is. The way he handled himself, just
1:05:24
being unprepared for everything. He was saying, oh, I'm going to
1:05:27
skip the combine to be more prepared for these interviews,
1:05:30
these film sessions, and he was unprepared for everything.
1:05:33
We talked about the table thing last week, but there were other
1:05:35
coaches that he probably pissed off.
1:05:38
Jabba. I'm going to go that.
1:05:40
He's not that good. He didn't play in the SEC.
1:05:43
His talent in the Big 12 wasn't as good as it was.
1:05:46
And they saw his deficiency in his footwork and you know, his
1:05:49
passing ability. And I think they finally
1:05:52
realized he's not as good as he was just because he won all the
1:05:54
accolades and he had his number retired when you have.
1:05:58
Is a bigger entourage then you have an arm.
1:06:02
That's a problem as a quarterback heading into the
1:06:04
NFL. And we saw it on radio row
1:06:07
walking around with the biggest entourage of anybody as if he
1:06:10
ever did anything at any level other than the FCS at Jackson
1:06:15
State. Back to Speedy.
1:06:17
Yeah, I was going to mention. That Java was mentioning with
1:06:20
the stats as well, like he was stat padding even certain games
1:06:22
in the Big 12 and even out of conference as well where they
1:06:25
didn't have the big on conference schedule until this
1:06:27
year and there's a reason they only had the 1 ranked win.
1:06:31
And sometimes stat padding and stats in college football
1:06:33
compared to actual NFL talent will show a big difference
1:06:36
there. And then all of a sudden you're
1:06:38
just not only starting the two years and the one year at
1:06:40
Jackson State doesn't help your 'cause either.
1:06:43
Java, yeah. And when you when you talk.
1:06:45
About attitude and you talk about not being prepared, but
1:06:48
like we talked about before going to a job interview with
1:06:50
with the sideways hat and then saying you know who my dad is
1:06:54
like no, you're your own person. Shut up douche, you know?
1:06:58
Get over yourself. When you're.
1:07:00
A coach and you. Are trying to test some of these
1:07:03
guys like Brian Dabel famously does with his quarterbacks.
1:07:06
It's a system that him and Joe Shane have perfected ever since
1:07:09
Josh Allen. Say what you will about that,
1:07:11
but he does test them. And then Chador flunk that test
1:07:14
and talk back to the coach. And said that no, I did.
1:07:19
Install it, right? You just didn't teach it to me,
1:07:21
right? They don't have to.
1:07:23
Be very. Smart to see why the Giants had
1:07:25
no interest in Shador and the reports are they were on Jackson
1:07:28
Dart as early as January. Speedy last.
1:07:32
One. Yeah, I was.
1:07:32
Going to mention the film study we.
1:07:33
Talked about it with like Kyla Murray bashing him three years
1:07:36
ago with the with the film study.
1:07:37
Oh, he's not he's playing video games.
1:07:39
He's not watching film. Shador is not only just
1:07:41
distracting himself with that, he's also distracting himself
1:07:43
with his brands, distracting himself with his father, all the
1:07:45
stuff that he's saying with that.
1:07:47
And I think so many teams are going to get deterred by
1:07:50
somebody like Deion Sanders just having an deflation light shown
1:07:54
on the team. When you have a 53 man roster,
1:07:56
it's not just in basketball. You can get away with it like we
1:07:59
talk about all the time, like stars run the NBA.
1:08:01
In football, it's still more of a team game and more of a skiing
1:08:04
game. Yeah, I think.
1:08:06
I think too. With with the way that, you
1:08:08
know, you handle stuff in the viral video that came out with
1:08:10
Cam Ward, that says a lot about who he is as a character.
1:08:14
And I think it's we when we had the Palon.
1:08:17
And when it comes down to it, it's like, OK, athletic ability
1:08:20
to a character. Do I want to deal with that?
1:08:21
You took the number one overall pick.
1:08:23
They worked out together. And you get in his face and he
1:08:26
said all he wants to do is focus on football.
1:08:29
And he was talking about you want to come on my YouTube
1:08:31
channel and all this other stuff.
1:08:32
And Ken Ward's like, no, I want to play football.
1:08:35
He's so focused on doing other shit than doing his job.
1:08:38
You are barely A500 quarterback and a non FCS.
1:08:42
So grow up and do what you're supposed to do.
1:08:44
And that's why you fell in the fifth round and I'll finish it.
1:08:47
Off Jabba took out my 13 and 12 record, barely 500 in his career
1:08:52
at Colorado, was AFCS quarterback.
1:08:55
But if you have to go to the FCS first, the odds are you're not a
1:08:59
very talented athlete. And we know that his measurables
1:09:02
aren't there. But there was one thing I wanted
1:09:05
to mention. 30% of his snaps in college were in a huddle.
1:09:11
In the NFL, that's closer to 85%.
1:09:14
And in the huddle, you have to have a very long and elaborate
1:09:17
call and you have to lead men and communicate.
1:09:20
What man is going to follow this guy who comes in with his
1:09:23
headphones around his neck into an interview, tells us the coach
1:09:25
doesn't know he's talking about even though he was 13 and 12 in
1:09:29
college? Never won nothing.
1:09:31
That's it guys. That's round.
1:09:33
One, Errol, you get to decide for whatever reason you want who
1:09:38
the 2 members will move on to. Round two I was impressed with
1:09:42
Java. I really was, it was, I actually
1:09:45
thought that he made some good points on the 1st 2 rounds and
1:09:48
he kind of finished it up in the third round on his arguments
1:09:52
with, you know, obviously bringing up the Cam Ward
1:09:54
situation. So I've got Java moving forward
1:09:57
and, and speedy I, I do like fish.
1:10:00
I love everything that you said. And obviously your thoughts with
1:10:04
the percentages at the end of the game and you know, obviously
1:10:07
in the huddle, 30% outside of the huddle, you know, he
1:10:10
doesn't, he runs, you know, obviously he doesn't run in the
1:10:13
huddle as much. So I, I like what you were
1:10:15
saying, but speedy, you know, obviously with his, his, his
1:10:18
thoughts from each and every round, I thought he made a
1:10:21
little bit more, you know, of an argument.
1:10:23
So I'll, I'll go with Speedy and Jabba moving on.
1:10:26
All right, I will. Have to stay in the peasants
1:10:29
barn as we move on to Round 2. The joust.
1:10:35
Yes, our finalists will now joust it out over the best value
1:10:39
picks in the NFL Draft. Same setup guys, same thing.
1:10:44
Take take a second to gather your thoughts.
1:10:48
We'll start with Speedy once again back and forth.
1:10:52
All right, I'm going to go. We'll.
1:10:53
Go one player at a time or just name a bunch of them that you
1:10:55
liked. You just take your turn and then
1:10:57
job. Will go and so we'll go yeah, a
1:10:59
lot of the. Ones I like were the ones with
1:11:02
edge rushers. In particular, I think the
1:11:04
Ravens getting Mike Green in the second round definitely has to
1:11:06
be one of the biggest steals in the draft so far.
1:11:09
And I do like what the I do like I do like with the Texans in the
1:11:14
second round, the two receivers pairing them together as well.
1:11:16
Jaden Higgins Fish, we were talking about as a first round
1:11:18
grade possibly, and he goes to them in in the late 2nd.
1:11:21
Then he get his teammate to go along with it, Jalen Noel.
1:11:23
I think the combination of that was just very good overall.
1:11:27
And then the Eagles with Jihad Campbell, I think he can't go
1:11:29
wrong with that off ball linebacker that's super
1:11:31
versatile. It's a perfect thing for what
1:11:33
they need to go along with Zach Bond and Kobe Dean and they can
1:11:37
be more versatile, even putting Dean at safety at certain points
1:11:39
as well. So I love the Eagles pack as
1:11:41
well as it much is a pain me as a giant.
1:11:43
All right, so speedy basically. Gave us 3, Jabba, same deal.
1:11:47
Give us three of your value picks.
1:11:51
I mean, I'm going to go first. From Nebraska, I got some
1:11:53
insider information from from Eagles camp and you know,
1:11:56
everybody's excited about Ty in the fourth round.
1:11:58
Just, you know, with his mobility with with the style
1:12:02
that he plays and, and what he comes from.
1:12:06
I I think you took the the receivers from me.
1:12:08
Speedy, you Dick. But I, I think there's more than
1:12:13
one. I think honestly, too, we talked
1:12:16
about another Nebraska kid late in the seventh round where he's
1:12:20
going to block, he's going to do, he doesn't need to do a lot
1:12:22
of things. I know Speedy's going to beat me
1:12:24
on this one because he's way more analytical on this stuff.
1:12:26
But I think there was there was a lot of things in it that that
1:12:32
fit a bunch of people's needs that did what they did.
1:12:35
But yeah, Speedy will go against Errol in this one.
1:12:38
So now. Continuing on, tell me which
1:12:40
teams you liked that got the most value in the draft.
1:12:43
Speedy. All right.
1:12:44
Yeah. I, I I.
1:12:45
I'm going to stay on the on the text industry and I think that
1:12:47
was for not having a first round pick, trading back with the
1:12:50
Giants because they were the team that did it with Dart.
1:12:52
I think they did very well. I like the one that Travis May
1:12:55
was mentioning with the Panthers really addressing the edge
1:12:57
rusher in the second and third round.
1:12:59
Just beefing up that defense after getting Ted McMillan, who
1:13:02
I'm a big fan of in the first round.
1:13:04
I think that was really good value that I think that should
1:13:07
not be taken lightly. I like what the bears did too,
1:13:10
getting Luther Bird in the second round to go along.
1:13:12
I know Loveland, the pick of them was kind of questionable,
1:13:14
but even some of the offensive lineman they drafted later in
1:13:16
the drafts, ones where I was seeing as day 2 picks and turned
1:13:19
out to be day three picks as well.
1:13:21
And I I like what they did to really address what Ben Johnson
1:13:25
is going to implement to this team.
1:13:27
Even though Loveland over Warren pick is questionable, I think
1:13:30
he's probably more of the route running type than they needed
1:13:32
where Comec could be the blocker.
1:13:34
All right, Jabba. Yeah, I mean.
1:13:37
As bad as it is to say, I I I actually like the Browns draft
1:13:42
and they kind of as. Bad as they have.
1:13:46
Been I think they they did a really good job of attacking the
1:13:50
needs that they needed. Eagles, not obviously not an
1:13:55
Eagles fan, but they continue to do what they do and get the
1:13:59
right guys and fall into position and how it goes.
1:14:02
And the other one I actually really like too, And I hate to
1:14:06
say it because we have so many chief homers around here, but I
1:14:09
think the Chiefs did an absolute great job of just filling pieces
1:14:13
of of what they needed with with the picks that they had.
1:14:17
All right. And finally, for this round
1:14:19
guys, give me your favorite late round sleeper pick that went in
1:14:28
this draft and why A. Favorite of?
1:14:32
Anybody. That is a good question.
1:14:34
I like Cleveland, another running back that was taken.
1:14:38
I think one of our draft panelists was mentioning him.
1:14:40
I'm a big fan of Dylan Sampson. I think that's a kid that I
1:14:43
think he had a little bit of a fumbling issues, but I think he
1:14:45
has a good move set. So I think the Browns getting
1:14:48
him as late as they did, I believe it was like the mid to
1:14:50
late fourth round where they got him where I was thinking he was
1:14:52
kind of like a third round grade.
1:14:54
He's one that I think is very close skill wise, maybe not as
1:14:59
powerful, but the rest of the traits with Nick Chubb, to be
1:15:01
able to fit that scheme and essentially replace him in that
1:15:03
scheme with that offensive line to go along with it, it allow
1:15:07
them to be able to take pressure off their quarterbacks.
1:15:09
They drafted Jubkins too in the second round, which I do like as
1:15:12
well, but I think that was probably a little bit more of a
1:15:14
reach of where they were going at.
1:15:16
But Samson in the fourth round, get those two combo players
1:15:19
made-up for it very nicely. I'm going.
1:15:22
To go on the defensive. Side The Falcons getting Xavier
1:15:25
Watts from Notre Dame the third round, they, you know, they've
1:15:29
only had 20 interceptions over the last and God, who was it
1:15:33
that he had like 10 of them? I think he had half of them.
1:15:35
And you just get a yeah and you get a kid that's from Omaha, NE
1:15:43
but attacks the ball. Yeah, Attacks the ball.
1:15:47
Winning team knows how to win. Winning culture, I think him
1:15:50
going in the third round late to the Falcons is a great fit to
1:15:53
come in and step up right away. I really, I really, really like
1:15:56
that fit. Yeah, obviously rooting for that
1:15:58
guy, but watching him play and, and to see how, you know, he
1:16:01
tacks the ball and and does what he he cut his, he cut his dreads
1:16:05
and they showed him. I had to look twice because I'm
1:16:07
just so used to seeing him like that.
1:16:09
But yeah, it's I I think that's a really good pick in the in the
1:16:12
late third round. Enjoy.
1:16:14
OK, Errol, your. Time to decide who is the
1:16:17
finalist that gets to challenge the king.
1:16:20
I'm going to go with Speedy. I'd rather go one-on-one with
1:16:23
his analytic stupidity, so let's go.
1:16:28
OK, that. Means we are moving on to round
1:16:31
3 where you take on the king in this game.
1:16:36
Here it is and the topic best fantasy rookies not named Ashton
1:16:43
Gente. That's the same question that we
1:16:46
posed our panelists at the end and it's going to work the same
1:16:50
way we had it. Errol, Speedy, speedy start.
1:16:54
Give us your first and why and it's just going to go back and
1:16:56
forth. Jabba, me and you are going to
1:16:57
be judges. Nathan seems to be sitting in
1:17:00
the backstage. Why don't we get Nathan on in
1:17:02
here? He'll be the third judge to
1:17:04
break it possible. Now, defense or offense?
1:17:06
Or both defense or offense? You can mention either if you
1:17:11
want to do defense, you talk about individual position.
1:17:14
How about we do only one defense in this round?
1:17:17
All right, so offense for most of most part.
1:17:20
All right, Speedy, let's put the camera up.
1:17:22
All right, I'll start with this new setting.
1:17:24
I'll start with a sleeper for a tight end position that I did
1:17:26
like where he landed and that is a gunner helm for the Titans
1:17:30
going in the fifth round. The Titans A-Team trying that
1:17:33
had a lot of receiving talent and then they're going to they
1:17:35
have pilot, so they're going to run the ball.
1:17:37
Chica Conquos kind of been up and down since he had that like
1:17:39
big year in 23 or 22. He's been kind of up and down,
1:17:44
kind of injury prone. And Cam Ward is going to look
1:17:46
for that other second target that's going to try to make it
1:17:49
work. Helm was a very productive tight
1:17:50
end at Texas, has a good route Tree, could stretch the field.
1:17:54
I think you're looking at a guy that can make an instant impact.
1:17:56
Tennessee is going to be behind in games a lot still, even with
1:17:59
their defense being as good as they are and because they're
1:18:02
going to be in a lot of shootouts, I think that could
1:18:03
bode well for a tight end, A tight end helping out his
1:18:05
quarterback as a late flyer for fantasy.
1:18:07
I'm not saying draft them as your tight or something like
1:18:10
that, but if you want to take a late flyer that could be good.
1:18:13
I think that is one that I think could work OK.
1:18:17
I'm going to go with Mason. Graham I think Mason Graham in
1:18:20
that that defense with obviously Miles Garrett, they're going to
1:18:23
be able to put pressure up the middle.
1:18:25
Mason Graham, you can shift them all over the all over the
1:18:28
defensive line. He's going to be able to do
1:18:30
things in open seams up for Miles Garrett and I think Mason
1:18:33
Graham is going to have a lot of sacks this year for a rookie.
1:18:36
I wouldn't even be surprised if he has 8 or 9 sacks.
1:18:39
They also so helped out on a secondary, so they're going to
1:18:42
be able to use and shift Mason Graham all over the defensive
1:18:45
line. Like I said, he's so
1:18:46
athletically gifted. He's going to be able to do
1:18:49
things that they didn't have inside and you can obviously put
1:18:53
him as a nose tackle to his size and his ability with the
1:18:56
athletic ability that he has. I think he's going to cause a
1:18:58
lot of problems defensively, offensively and defensively for
1:19:03
the teams that they play against in in their division and the
1:19:06
AFC. So I like Mason Graham.
1:19:08
I, I wouldn't be surprised if Mason Graham wins rookie
1:19:11
defensive player of the year. I think he with that defense
1:19:13
with Miles Garrett, they're going to be a great tandem for
1:19:15
many, many, many, many, many years to come.
1:19:18
I love that pick. I love Mason Graham going to the
1:19:20
Browns. All right, Speedy, back to you.
1:19:23
Give us again, we're going to do 1 defensive guy.
1:19:26
So Errol just gave his defense. You have two offense, you got
1:19:29
one in one left speeding all right, So I'll go to my
1:19:31
offensive guy. While I try to figure out a
1:19:32
defensive for I guess our all 22 league, but I'll go with a it's
1:19:36
just a pain to be admit of what they've done this offseason with
1:19:38
the Cowboys and how bad they've been.
1:19:40
I actually do like Jaden Blue as a prospect.
1:19:42
The running back, another running back out of Texas that
1:19:43
has good speed. I don't know if Rico Dowdell is
1:19:45
obviously the running back that he was last year at certain
1:19:48
points in the year where I think he was a fantasy running back,
1:19:50
12 or certain at certain points. I don't think he's really that
1:19:53
good of a like consistent town to be able to do it again.
1:19:56
I think people are going to be super high on him and be
1:19:58
disappointed. They drafted offensive line and
1:20:00
Tyler Booker. They have some offensive lineman
1:20:03
that are still developing and with DAC not being 100% healthy
1:20:06
I think they could try to run the ball right away.
1:20:08
And the Cowboys have had a history of running backs
1:20:10
emerging when they were younger too, so I think that could be
1:20:13
another good super sleeper. Again, draft him on your bench
1:20:15
to start and if he emerges from Dowdell later in the season I
1:20:18
think that could be an interesting 1 rookie running
1:20:21
backs that tend to take a while, but I think this is a good flyer
1:20:23
late in the draft. Cool.
1:20:27
I. Love.
1:20:28
McMillan, I I think he's going to fit over there with Carolina
1:20:31
so very well. He's going to open up the seams.
1:20:34
He's going to open up off the offensive side of the ball for
1:20:37
Carolina, something that they haven't had what who was that
1:20:40
last star wide receiver they had over there?
1:20:42
They haven't had one. And now obviously with a guy, a
1:20:46
young quarterback that is trying to find his way now he has a
1:20:48
number one target that can open up the field offensively, he's
1:20:52
great in the red zone. They're going to have a red zone
1:20:54
target to actually throw to over the last couple of years, they
1:20:57
one of the worst red zone teams in all of the NFL.
1:21:00
Now you have a big long body over there in McMillan that can
1:21:03
absolutely cause so much havoc on, you know, on the in the
1:21:07
seams in a slot. He can play so many, you know,
1:21:11
opportunistic, you know, positions for Carolina and and
1:21:15
the way obviously your coach and Cohen likes to do likes to run.
1:21:18
We all know Mike Evans, what Mike Evans has done over there
1:21:21
with the Buccaneers. I think McMillan, the size and
1:21:24
the ability that Mike Evans had over there with the Buccaneers,
1:21:27
you can do the same thing with McMillan.
1:21:29
I think he's going to open up a seams and opportunities for
1:21:32
Carolina to dominate in the red zone.
1:21:34
So I love McMillan as maybe a rookie Offensive Rookie of the
1:21:39
Year. All right, one left for each
1:21:41
speed. Of your defensive player All
1:21:43
right, so I'm going to go with the.
1:21:44
Steelers, because I'm going to go with the Steelers because
1:21:46
there's fantasy defense is always very good.
1:21:49
The third round pass rusher they drafted with Jack Sawyer,
1:21:51
obviously the hero in the College Football Playoff game
1:21:53
against Texas. But I think it's a good scheme
1:21:55
fit. Alex Highsmith, not 100% last
1:21:57
year. I don't know how much they're
1:21:58
going to try to rush him back. Obviously TJ Watt's still there.
1:22:00
So you have a lot of, you'll have a lot of presents.
1:22:02
But Highsmith is also somebody that rotates a lot inside and
1:22:06
Mike Tomlin loves to do this with linebackers that are edge
1:22:08
rushers, B Rovers to guard screen passes and stuff with
1:22:11
that. So I actually could see him
1:22:12
making an impact. Sawyer was a guy that played
1:22:14
inside and outside at Ohio State and can cover the screens a
1:22:18
little bit too. So in both of those roles, you
1:22:20
could see him make an impact in that Mike Tomlin defense.
1:22:22
It's going to need a lot of help in that front 7, a lot of help
1:22:25
in that run defense. So I think he can emerge to get
1:22:28
more playing time than expected, especially if Wat who's not very
1:22:32
healthy either a lot and then high.
1:22:34
So it as well. It wasn't healthy last year get
1:22:36
get hurt. They could be easing somebody
1:22:38
like Sawyer into the system very well.
1:22:41
And I waited. The best for last because I
1:22:43
think he's going to be so explosive and fun to watch this
1:22:46
year. Cam Ward is going to win and we
1:22:49
always look at that, the quarterback and usually the
1:22:52
quarterback wins Offensive rookie of the year.
1:22:54
I expect Cam Ward to have a sensational year.
1:22:57
If you look at what Tennessee has this year offensively,
1:23:00
Calvin Ridley actually has a quarterback that can throw the
1:23:02
ball and move outside of the pocket.
1:23:04
Then you have Tyler Lockett, the addition of Tyler Lockett with
1:23:08
the weapons. They have Traylon Burks, who is
1:23:10
a first round talent who really hasn't had a chance to explode
1:23:14
because he hasn't had a quarterback to throw him.
1:23:16
Who you going to trust? Will Levitz?
1:23:17
Now you have a guy that could throw the ball, move it outside
1:23:19
of the pocket and do what he does well.
1:23:21
Van Jefferson, we all know who Van Jefferson is.
1:23:24
He's been a pretty decent wide receiver over the years when he
1:23:27
played for the Rams. Now he's over there.
1:23:29
You got weapons all over the field and you have a good
1:23:31
running game and an offensive line that has obviously gotten
1:23:34
better in the offseason. I think Cam Ward is going to be
1:23:37
so electrifying. I don't know if he's going to be
1:23:40
what we see in over there in Washington.
1:23:42
I don't think he's Jaden Daniels yet, but the ability that this
1:23:45
kid has inside and out of the pocket, he wants to prove
1:23:47
himself. What should door Sanders.
1:23:50
It was all offseason and throughout this draft class and
1:23:54
nobody was talking about Cam Ward and what he being hit being
1:23:58
the number one pick. It was all about shudor, shudor,
1:24:00
shudor Shudor goes in the fifth round and everybody forgets that
1:24:03
Cam Ward was the number one predominant pick.
1:24:06
I think Cam Ward is going to prove himself this year and is
1:24:09
going to show everybody, just like Jaden Daniels Fields did
1:24:11
with the Washington Commanders, that he could be explosive with
1:24:14
the weapons that he has over there with the Tennessee Titans.
1:24:17
I love Tennessee this year. They're not going to win a lot
1:24:20
of games, but with Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett and Traylon to
1:24:25
Burks and all the weapons that they have on the field, they're
1:24:27
going to be able to use their offensive prowess to actually
1:24:31
open up the field, something they haven't had in a very, very
1:24:34
long time. All right, it's time to.
1:24:36
Judge and I'll go first. I thought this was a runaway
1:24:40
victory for Errol speedy. You can't give me a backup tight
1:24:44
end and a running back who won't see the field till the
1:24:47
second-half of the season and win a best fantasy rookies
1:24:51
competition when he takes the number one receiver taken and
1:24:55
the number one quarterback taken.
1:24:57
How how are you supposed to compete with that?
1:25:00
I think Errol one because of the choice.
1:25:03
You know, we weren't trying to get the sleeper guys.
1:25:05
We were trying to get the best. We kept saying.
1:25:07
Sleeper picks, I was like, wasn't the best.
1:25:09
You were still thinking of the previous.
1:25:10
Rounds or something speedy. So for me I thought it was a
1:25:13
pretty clear victory for Errol for those reasons.
1:25:16
But I thought this was a lot of fun.
1:25:18
You know I don't know job if you agree with me, we don't need
1:25:20
Nathan's vote. We can get the Nathan the heck
1:25:22
out of here or tiebreaker. Hold on, let's ask Nathan.
1:25:25
What do you think, Nathan? What do you think, Nath?
1:25:29
This was fun. I like the competition between
1:25:32
Arrow and I mean Arrow and Speedy.
1:25:34
So about I'm going to go with Arrow because I love Nasty
1:25:38
Graham. I love, I love all three, by the
1:25:40
way, Cam Ward, McMillan and Graham.
1:25:42
I feel like those three were going to put up big numbers this
1:25:45
year for their respective teams. And especially McMillan.
1:25:48
I think Bryce Young finally has a #1 receiver.
1:25:53
He's going to be a #1 receiver, in my opinion, in Carolina
1:25:56
eventually. But yeah, so right, Song finally
1:26:00
has a receiver that he can rely on.
1:26:02
And Cohen, actually. Worked with Mike Evans.
1:26:04
So he he's big, he's long just like Mike Evans and he has that
1:26:09
kind of ability in the red zone and by Carolina the last couple
1:26:12
of years have been one of the worst red zone teams in the NFL.
1:26:15
Now you had McMillan. I I think you give a defining
1:26:18
offensive target that you need for a guy like Bryce Young, who
1:26:22
by the way, hasn't had a number one wide receiver and since he's
1:26:25
come into the league. So I I think that's why I like
1:26:28
him before I go. Can I give you guys my best
1:26:31
value pick real quick? What is it?
1:26:33
All right, the. Guy from Boston College, The
1:26:35
Dallas guy. Is a Roku that was really.
1:26:38
Good. That was a good he's.
1:26:39
Really good. That was the best.
1:26:41
That's the best value pick right there.
1:26:43
I think he could be a steal in the draft potentially.
1:26:47
Also, it's ironic. That's good input.
1:26:48
Jeff's favorite? Corner went to the.
1:26:50
Cowboys the TV hates the most, yes.
1:26:53
Let's hope he can't stay healthy.
1:26:55
Errol the king stays the king. I don't know.
1:26:59
I didn't. Understand where Speedy was
1:27:01
going with that. I really don't.
1:27:03
I have no idea where he's going with that.
1:27:06
He's kept going. Sleeper pigs.
1:27:08
I don't know where he was. Going with that, I thought, Cam,
1:27:11
I do believe Cam Water is going to win offensive rookie.
1:27:14
I absolutely believe it. I think he's he, he's going to
1:27:18
be so explosive. I did not understand the whole
1:27:20
conversation with Shudor Sanders.
1:27:22
People forget that this guy was the number one pick.
1:27:25
And then I, I love Mason Graham with Miles Garrett.
1:27:28
Could you imagine what that defensive line everybody was
1:27:30
saying? Well, why did they trade out of
1:27:32
that pick and, and, and let Hunter go over there?
1:27:34
I don't know. They got Mason Graham at #5 and
1:27:37
they got a ton of picks for it. And, and look at that.
1:27:40
Look how many look at their draft.
1:27:41
The draft was sensational. The two, the two second round
1:27:45
picks that they had in the top of the second round were great.
1:27:47
I think I think the Browns had one of the best drafts they've
1:27:50
ever had and I think they have one of the more underrated
1:27:53
coaches in all of the NFL. So I like what the Browns did.
1:27:56
I thought that was a really, really good draft for them.
1:27:59
I agree with you. I thought the.
1:28:00
I thought, you know, like Speedy, I would have probably
1:28:03
said something about Derek Harmon if I was talking about
1:28:06
the Steelers defense, you know, just about how they they're,
1:28:09
they're trying to address those needs, but they are an aging
1:28:11
defense. I don't know.
1:28:12
I don't know if they're going to be that great next season
1:28:14
because of that. So I wasn't super convinced by
1:28:16
the argument. I think Graham, you put him next
1:28:19
to Garrett, that's a problem. Like I, I don't know what you
1:28:22
do. If he's as good as we think he
1:28:23
is, that's a problem for the entire NFL.
1:28:26
So guys, that's been our first ever King of the Hill.
1:28:32
All right, ladies and gentlemen, our deuce of the day.
1:28:36
The Deuce. Of the day you log.
1:28:39
Not a log. I don't have a log but.
1:28:48
Our deuce of the day. Goes to City Fields and the New
1:28:52
York Mets. And the reason why is Juan Soto
1:28:56
finally hit his first home run in City Field, ladies and
1:29:01
gentlemen. Yes, and it was today as
1:29:04
everybody was talking about how many home runs this guy's going
1:29:06
to hit in a bigger ballpark. Well, guys, it took him almost
1:29:11
30 games. They hit his first home run in
1:29:14
Citi Field when last year in Yankee Stadium, he hit his first
1:29:18
home run in his first game in Yankee Stadium.
1:29:23
So ladies and gentlemen, my deuce of the day goes to the New
1:29:26
York Mets and the 700 and what $67 million they spent for a guy
1:29:32
that hit his first home run in in his first home game.
1:29:36
Well, in his first in his his first home run in a home game
1:29:40
that took him 30 games to hit it.
1:29:43
So Juan Soto and the New York Mets, that's.
1:29:46
My deuce of. The day goes to Juan Soto and
1:29:49
the New York Mets and, and, and the debacle them that Juan Soto
1:29:52
has been so far this season. We'll see what happens moving
1:29:55
forward, but I don't think it it doesn't bode well for them.
1:29:59
It takes him 30 days, 30 games, I'm sorry, not 30 days, 30 games
1:30:03
to hit his first home run in Citi Field.
1:30:05
So not a good one, ladies and gentlemen, not a good one at
1:30:07
all. So deuce of the day, baby.
1:30:10
I, I, I don't understand. And Mets fans are happy.
1:30:14
They should be happy right now. And I'll tell you why the Mets
1:30:16
fans should be happy. They're winning.
1:30:18
They have the best record right now in baseball.
1:30:21
But when you're paying a guy $767,000,000, that to me is bad.
1:30:28
OK. And what is what is he saying
1:30:29
over here? Josh is saying, can't even get
1:30:32
the joke out. Laughing my ass off.
1:30:34
I don't know what he what he's talking about.
1:30:35
I don't know, I, I don't get what he's saying, but
1:30:39
nevertheless, I, I think the fact is when you look at the New
1:30:42
York Mets and, and where they are, they're, they're playing
1:30:44
great baseball. They're one of the, the best
1:30:46
teams in baseball. But when Juan Soto can't hit
1:30:49
home run in almost 30 games at home, that to me is bothersome.
1:30:54
I know it's early and he's got what, 12 or 13 years to try it.
1:30:58
It's playing. What is he saying right off air?
1:31:02
I I guess I. Don't.
1:31:03
I don't care anyways. Why?
1:31:05
So we did talk about Giannis and.
1:31:07
Giving him credit for not punching him?
1:31:09
Yes. Was he not?
1:31:10
Was he not listening? No.
1:31:10
I think he's referencing something with the Mets.
1:31:12
He's he's something. With what I know, he's talking
1:31:15
about Giannis and giving him. Credit for not decking him.
1:31:17
No, no, no, no, he's talking about.
1:31:18
He's like on tape delay. And watching us.
1:31:20
No, no, no, no, he's responding. To it right now that says 905
1:31:23
the comments yeah, he's talking about like.
1:31:25
He could be watching on YouTube. Like can't even.
1:31:28
He's not joke. Out laughing my fucking ass off
1:31:31
Whatever. Anyways, I I just think that the
1:31:34
Mets met fans are very excited about the season.
1:31:36
They should be. But you you can't be happy that
1:31:39
it takes Juan Soto to hit in 30 games to hit his first home run
1:31:44
at home. I was watching later, Jabba.
1:31:47
I I I guess I I don't know what's going on here.
1:31:50
I don't get what you're doing. Josh, stop.
1:31:52
Why don't you just tell us what you're talking about?
1:31:54
I don't get what you're making a joke about.
1:31:57
Tell him to call in. We actually, Yeah.
1:31:58
Why don't he call in? I don't.
1:32:00
Get what he's saying? Hey, you know what?
1:32:02
Is least he's watching so well, yeah, I don't get what he's
1:32:04
saying. I really don't.
1:32:06
I do. The joke is on the Mets right
1:32:08
now because they're paying him $767,000,000 and it took him 30
1:32:12
games. They hit his first home run at
1:32:13
home. I don't think that bodes well if
1:32:16
you're a Met fan. And again, I would worry if I
1:32:20
was watching 1 soda right now. Now, again, it's early and
1:32:23
there's 162 games, but how many homes home runs does he hit at
1:32:27
home? That's my question.
1:32:29
How many, how many home runs is he going to hit in Citi Field?
1:32:32
And we said this when he went to that, when he decided to go, he
1:32:35
said that it was his favorite ballpark to play in.
1:32:38
It was his favorite ballpark to play in.
1:32:40
And he hits one home run in 30 games over there.
1:32:43
How many home games has the Mets played so far?
1:32:45
Sweetie, do you know you're a Mets fan?
1:32:47
You should know this. How many home games has the Mets
1:32:50
played? They're they're 21 and 11.
1:32:54
It ain't my money, so I don't give a crap.
1:32:56
So that's what he's saying. I'm not worried, but I would be
1:32:58
worried. I don't know.
1:32:59
It's not your money, but it will be your money when you're paying
1:33:01
all that money to go and watch the Met games live, especially
1:33:04
when they're a good team. So you are going to be paying
1:33:07
when the Mets are good. You got to pay for those tickets
1:33:10
and you got to pay for parking. You got to pay for everything.
1:33:12
The food's going to go up and everything.
1:33:14
Speedy. What is the Mets 13 and three?
1:33:16
They're 13 and three. So the Mets have played 16 games
1:33:20
and Juan Soto has hit one home run in those sixteen games.
1:33:24
That's not a good sign. He had two.
1:33:25
He had two today. Oh.
1:33:26
So he had two home. Runs.
1:33:28
So it took him 16 games to hit two home runs and it was back to
1:33:32
in the same game. So that would worry me if I was
1:33:35
a Mets fan. Now again, he can get hot, but
1:33:39
why would you leave Yankee Stadium when you were hitting
1:33:42
all those home runs and move over there to Citi Field when
1:33:45
it's a bigger ballpark and obviously harder to hit home
1:33:47
runs? It doesn't make any sense.
1:33:49
And and the Mets, it's going to come back and haunt the New York
1:33:51
Mets. I absolutely believe it.
1:33:53
Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but one way or another
1:33:57
in the next 5 years the Mets are going to regret paying him
1:33:59
$767,000,000. And if the Mets don't win a
1:34:02
World Series in the next 5 years, boy oh boy, it's going to
1:34:06
be one of the worst contracts in baseball history, and the Mets
1:34:09
need to win one because this guy is a bona fide DH.
1:34:14
That's what he's going to be. Well, looks like we got Josh on
1:34:16
the phone. All right, Josh.
1:34:17
Have at it. What's up, everybody?
1:34:19
First off, I know what you're saying about the Mets and
1:34:21
everything like that. It is very early in the season,
1:34:23
so I'm not even going to stress it.
1:34:25
That's number one. Number two, it's not my money.
1:34:27
But as far as what you're saying in regards to me paying for a
1:34:29
game, I could literally go on the secondary mark and get a
1:34:32
ticket for like 35 right now. Right now.
1:34:35
No, but I'm also you were talking.
1:34:37
About paying for parking or did first of I don't I don't ever
1:34:39
park at the city field lot anyway.
1:34:41
I never parked. I haven't parked there since
1:34:43
they opened up that stadium, So I parked for free.
1:34:46
That's the other thing. And then, you know, like I said,
1:34:48
I'm just enjoying what it is right now, the fun of the day.
1:34:51
It's just so funny because I job I did get to the show late, but
1:34:56
I listened to the show for a few minutes and the few minutes that
1:34:59
I TuneIn I hear the first example Arrow brings up is with
1:35:04
the fans punching somebody. I heard the Rangers fan punching
1:35:06
this guy and then I hear juice of the day, Juan Soto hitting
1:35:10
his first home run. And that's when I said, all
1:35:12
right, This is why I turned it off, because it's just bashing
1:35:15
the teams. I'm not bashing first.
1:35:18
Of all I don't bear. I have.
1:35:19
Never bashed the Mets on the show.
1:35:21
Ever. Bash the Mets.
1:35:22
You do it on the side. I don't, I do not bash the Mets
1:35:26
on this show. But what you should be doing is
1:35:29
taking a deuce on the. Knicks, that's what you should
1:35:30
be doing, because I do. I dosed enough.
1:35:34
On the New York Knicks early in the show, I I don't have to
1:35:36
deuce anymore. On the Knicks, I want to do
1:35:38
something. I'm going to deuce.
1:35:40
On 7. $167,000,000 that they're paying a guy that took him 16
1:35:44
games to hit his first home run at home.
1:35:46
That to me is a deuce. OK, but let me ask you.
1:35:49
But let me ask. You what are they?
1:35:52
They're 21 and 11 right now. That's funny and and to me that.
1:35:56
To me is if you're a Mets fan, that's bothersome because when
1:35:59
he starts hitting, I'll tell you why.
1:36:01
Because what I'm going to tell you why, when he starts to hit,
1:36:04
then other people are going to get cold.
1:36:06
We've seen this before with Juan Soto.
1:36:08
He gets hot and then he's got a he's got to put the team on his
1:36:11
back. Is he going to be able to do
1:36:12
that when that time comes? Because it hasn't been done yet
1:36:16
for him on the New York Mets and again, the New York Mets and and
1:36:20
City Fields is a bigger stadium. It's going to be harder for him
1:36:22
to take over games offensively in the big parts of those in the
1:36:26
big parts of the field. And by the way, did you watch
1:36:29
him play defense this past weekend against the Washington
1:36:31
Nationals? He was putrid.
1:36:33
He was. He couldn't catch the ball.
1:36:36
He's never been good defensively, yeah, he was pretty
1:36:38
decent. He was decent.
1:36:40
He was decent with the Yankees. He was decent with the Yankees,
1:36:44
a lot better. Than what we've seen.
1:36:45
So far with the Mets, I'm just saying what?
1:36:48
Oh boy, what? Oh.
1:36:49
Boy, what? No, I'm just going to leave it
1:36:51
at this because I. Wouldn't let you guys continue
1:36:53
the show and you and I could rant, ramble about this for
1:36:55
hours. You and I have done this for
1:36:57
years. And by the way, actually you're
1:36:58
going to be on the show with me tomorrow on my show, which will
1:37:01
be that's the first time that you and I have worked the show
1:37:03
to get Speedy's probably like what?
1:37:05
That's going to be the first time you and I work a show
1:37:06
together. I think it was 2 1/2 three
1:37:08
years. It's been a long time.
1:37:10
Yeah. This is why we keep it that way.
1:37:13
But anyway, you're right because.
1:37:15
The first thing I'm going to do is attack the New York Mets in
1:37:17
Juan Soto's $767 million contract.
1:37:21
That's it. That's, well, that's.
1:37:22
That's one of the topics tomorrow.
1:37:23
You don't know what the topics are.
1:37:24
Yeah, I can't wait. I don't know what topics are.
1:37:26
Yeah, it's going to be great. I'll be wiping my ass when I'm.
1:37:29
Going when I'm done with that, maybe, maybe the 1st.
1:37:31
Topic we should talk about is heck of Mitch at the way he's
1:37:33
shooting free throws. Oh, let's begin.
1:37:36
I mean, I mean, you know, Mitchell's opposite.
1:37:39
Listen, I blame the Knicks for that.
1:37:41
Because the Knicks. Really quickly I will say this
1:37:45
there there is one guy that I'm getting very frustrated with at
1:37:49
this point and they traded they put him in deep and they put
1:37:53
they put D Vincenzo in the trade for towns and because they had a
1:37:57
feeling that this guy would step up and really be a big part of
1:38:00
this team this season. Deuce McBride has done nothing.
1:38:05
He's been horrible. It was.
1:38:07
Horrible and they put. Because they they, because
1:38:11
Minnesota asked for, they asked for McBride in that deal and the
1:38:14
Knicks said no, we'll give you D Vincenzo instead because it was
1:38:17
more money. And I think the Knicks are
1:38:20
regretting that one because let's call it like it is.
1:38:21
I know D Vincenzo's not had a great season.
1:38:23
But the other problem is the Knicks, they're an offensive
1:38:26
team with the defensive coach. It's mixing oil and water
1:38:29
together. You can't.
1:38:31
It doesn't work. It it will never work out.
1:38:34
That's the reality of this between the there's no like
1:38:37
there's no ball movement with this team.
1:38:38
Perry Bronson does ISO offense for a good.
1:38:41
I know it's like. Carmelo Anthony esque.
1:38:44
That's what it is. It's it's all about the way
1:38:46
Carmelo, Did you watch Carmelo Anthony's faces?
1:38:49
You know, he was the faces he was making in Madison Square
1:38:52
Garden the other day. Did anybody watch it?
1:38:55
It was like a. Reflection.
1:38:56
Absolutely. It was absolutely embarrassing.
1:38:59
And, and I blame Tom Thibodeau. I really do.
1:39:02
Everything that Tom Thibodeau has done in this series, it
1:39:06
makes you shake your head and he is not the right guy.
1:39:08
Knick fans, I'm telling you, whatever the Knicks decide to do
1:39:12
moving forward, they're going to have to decide.
1:39:14
Is Thibodeau the guy? Are you going to bet on Tom
1:39:17
Thibodeau? I mean, I ask you this.
1:39:19
And I'll ask everybody else that's that's there as well.
1:39:22
Fish and everybody, by the way, what's up?
1:39:23
Everybody didn't get to say hi to everyone.
1:39:26
Arrow was too busy screaming at me when I got on the air.
1:39:28
I knew he was going to do that. You're the one who's.
1:39:31
Been talking more than. Everyone makes up 13 by the way.
1:39:35
But my question is now, Errol, you think that even even if they
1:39:41
if they get out of this first round, right, if they get out of
1:39:43
this round, which let's let the talent deficiency, it's not even
1:39:47
close, then it should have been won this series in five games.
1:39:50
I know the Pistons are a tough team, but let's, let's be real,
1:39:52
told you they were going to lose that game, by the way.
1:39:55
If if they go. Now if they play the Celtics and
1:39:58
they get smacked around which? Very realistically that right,
1:40:02
we could all think that that is probably what is going to
1:40:04
happen. I know Arrow has somewhat hope
1:40:06
that he thinks it might not happen, but I, I think they're
1:40:09
going to get smacked around my, my, I think it's like is, is
1:40:13
Timido really going to come back next season If they get smoked
1:40:17
in the second round? They have they're.
1:40:19
Going to have to make that a series against the Celtics.
1:40:22
If they don't make it a series and let's say the Celtics win in
1:40:25
five games, Thibodaux is going to be looking for a new job
1:40:28
because there's quite a few good coaches that could be available.
1:40:31
We were talking about one that could be coming from Miami if he
1:40:34
becomes available. Malone, I love, I told you I.
1:40:39
Love Malone. I think Malone would fit
1:40:41
perfectly here in New York. I think he'd be great.
1:40:44
I I think obviously the Knicks are going to have their choice.
1:40:48
There's going to be a lot of coaches that are going to be
1:40:49
available. I would have liked Kenny
1:40:51
Atkinson. He goes over there to get the
1:40:53
Cavaliers and look what the Cavaliers had done this year.
1:40:55
You like Perry too. I know you like that guy over
1:40:58
there with Kenny Atkinson. If he'd be complete, I'm sorry.
1:41:01
Yes, we just want to talk about what, Oh my God, Johnny, Johnny,
1:41:07
Brian you're talking about for the Cavs.
1:41:09
Yeah, for the Cavs, he's the guy.
1:41:10
Because honestly, let's call my question is he was the top
1:41:13
assistant for the Knicks last year and for the couple, why did
1:41:16
he leave all of a sudden to go to Cleveland?
1:41:18
And like, what's up with that? Doesn't that ring bells and
1:41:21
alarms? Like why is he leaving to go to
1:41:24
Cleveland? Because of Bronson father, I
1:41:27
don't think. I.
1:41:29
Think, I don't think he wanted to deal with that anymore.
1:41:31
And it looks like Brunson, Brunson's father has all the say
1:41:35
as the the bench coach. You see, Brunson.
1:41:39
I. Know, but again, his son is the
1:41:42
best player or the second best player on the team and he's the
1:41:45
superstar and the captain of the team.
1:41:46
So that's why he has a job and and that was his way or that was
1:41:50
the Knicks way of drawing Brunson to come and play in New
1:41:52
York. So I don't think it was a stupid
1:41:55
idea. I don't think Thibodeau made the
1:41:57
stupid, wrong decision. I just think where the Knicks
1:41:59
are and where the Knicks are sitting right now, it doesn't
1:42:02
bode well for Tom Thibodeau moving forward.
1:42:04
If they can't knock off this Detroit Piston team, which
1:42:07
they're much better than, and then go into the Boston, Boston
1:42:10
Guardian, wherever you call that place and not win one of those
1:42:14
games and make this a series. The Knicks have to make that
1:42:16
Celtics Series A series. I think the Knicks match up very
1:42:19
well against them. I just there's a lot of
1:42:22
questions on how this team is going to play against the Celtic
1:42:26
team that plays great team defense.
1:42:29
The Knicks don't play any team defense and the Celtics do.
1:42:32
Here's the problem with the Celtics.
1:42:33
Tatum is not 100% healthy and when this team doesn't have
1:42:37
Porzingis 100% or even 85%, they're going to have problems
1:42:41
against Karl Anthony Towns and maybe even Mitchell Robinson.
1:42:44
I think Mitchell Robinson needed some time on the court.
1:42:47
He hasn't had a lot since he's come back.
1:42:49
I think now that he's playing a lot of basketball now in the
1:42:52
last couple of games, it's going to give him a little bit more
1:42:54
confidence. I think the Celtics, they don't
1:42:56
have a lot of size either. The Celtics are not a big team.
1:42:59
I think the Knicks match up better against the Celtics do in
1:43:03
this series then then even the Orlando Magic, who I think is
1:43:06
much better than Detroit. So I think the Knicks are going
1:43:09
to make it a challenge if they can knock off the Detroit
1:43:11
Pistons. I don't think they beat them,
1:43:13
but I think it's going to be a lot closer than people think.
1:43:16
And does that is that enough for Tom Thibodeau to keep his job?
1:43:18
The answer, no. I think Tom Thibodeau loses his
1:43:22
job, especially if they can't beat the Celtics.
1:43:25
You got to get out of the second round and since Tom Thibodeau
1:43:27
has been there, he's taking his team as far as the second round.
1:43:31
I want to see them go to the Eastern Conference Finals and I
1:43:33
don't. Even with the talent that they
1:43:35
have, a lot of people believe the Knicks are good enough with
1:43:38
the talent that they have, especially their front five.
1:43:41
You had a Mckell Bridges for five first round draft picks and
1:43:44
he really hasn't done enough this year.
1:43:46
Karl Anthony Towns and then you have a front set, a front five
1:43:51
with OG and a Nova. You paid him $240 million in the
1:43:54
offseason. Jalen Bronson.
1:43:56
I mean, this team should be much, much better in this
1:43:59
Detroit series. They have not played team
1:44:01
defense. So it's going to be a lot of
1:44:03
questions on what the Knicks do in the offseason, especially if
1:44:06
Tom Thibodeau can't get out of that second round.
1:44:08
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're still waiting for Quinton
1:44:11
Culpo. So I'm sorry.
1:44:13
Yeah, he said. He was running late, but.
1:44:15
I thought he was like 5 minutes go to the.
1:44:18
I got sounded out right after all right so.
1:44:20
Let's go, sounded out. Ladies and gentlemen, roll here.
1:44:24

1:46:24
Right. It's Ichi Lucerainen, a great
1:46:28
player. Oh God, please.
1:46:30
I'll tell you this right now, if you guys didn't know these
1:46:33
names, like if you didn't know that Speedy, I know he actually
1:46:36
studies the names and, and, and how you pronounce them.
1:46:39
I guarantee you if you weren't setting it up, you wouldn't be
1:46:43
able to pronounce their names either.
1:46:45
That's hard guys. These, these Russian names in
1:46:49
these Swedish names and they're Lithuanian names, they're so
1:46:53
bad. I, I, you can't even announce,
1:46:55
you can't even pronounce them because they're all over the
1:46:57
place. Are we, are we going to now?
1:46:59
Quentin's in now, so. We're not going to do a sports.
1:47:02
Minute, we're not going to sports Minute right now, Let's
1:47:04
go to. A sports minute.
1:47:05
When we come back we will be talking to former Jets, Dolphins
1:47:09
and Rams defensive defensive end and by the way we remember them
1:47:13
as The Jets first round defensive end Quentin Cole
1:47:18
balls. But first, that was sports
1:47:19
Minute. This is the Jabba.
1:47:23
And the mouth sportsman ads. All right, guys.
1:47:27
Aaron. Fishman here with your
1:47:29
sportsman. We've got a few stories before
1:47:31
we go through the scores going on this evening.
1:47:34
So starting off sad news on the injury front for the New York
1:47:37
Jets and Florida State Seminoles fans. 2024 fifth round pick
1:47:42
quarterback Jordan Travis announced his retirement from
1:47:45
football Wednesday after he was unable to make a recovery from a
1:47:49
gruesome leg injury that prematurely ended his college
1:47:52
career. If you remember, due to his
1:47:54
injury, Florida State was not included in the College Football
1:47:56
Playoff despite being undefeated.
1:47:58
In his last year with the Seminoles, Travis made eleven
1:48:01
starts, led the team to an 11 and O record while throwing for
1:48:04
27134 yards, 20 TDs, and just two interceptions while getting
1:48:09
7 rushing touchdowns. He finished fifth in the 2023
1:48:13
Heisman Trophy race and was at the time, an intriguing draft
1:48:16
prospect. The.
1:48:18
NBA. Announced both the Rookie of the
1:48:21
Year and Most Improved Player awards this week, awarding the
1:48:24
Rookie of the Year to Spurs guard Stefan Castle and Hawks
1:48:29
guard Dyson Daniels took home the Most improved player.
1:48:32
Castle, who won the national championship of the previous
1:48:35
year with UConn, averaged 14.7 points per game, 3.7 rebounds,
1:48:39
4.1 assists in 26.7 minutes a game, 14.7 points.
1:48:44
LED all rookies. In fact, since January 30th on,
1:48:48
Castle averaged almost 18 points, five and five in a few
1:48:51
more minutes per game. And Castle now gives the Spurs
1:48:55
back-to-back Rookie of the Years.
1:48:56
When Benyama getting it last year.
1:48:58
That's the first time that happened since Andrew Wiggins
1:49:00
and Karl Anthony Towns did it for the T Wolves in 2015 and
1:49:04
2016. Zachary Resche of the Hawks was
1:49:08
a distant second place and Jalen Wells, a second round pick from
1:49:11
Memphis, was in 3rd in the MIP race.
1:49:14
Daniels, who averaged career highs of 14.1 points per game,
1:49:17
5.9 rebounds, 4 .4 assists in a whopping 3 point O1 steals while
1:49:21
shooting 49% and 34 for three, led the field by a lot.
1:49:27
Evika Zubach of the Clippers finished a distant second with
1:49:29
Kate Cunningham in 3rd. And finally, the stories for
1:49:34
this sports minute. What a whopper this one is.
1:49:36
The NFL finds the Atlanta Falcons $250,000 and defensive
1:49:41
coordinator Jeff Ulbricht $100,000.
1:49:44
Yes, the former interim coach to The Jets for the prank call his
1:49:48
his son Jax made the chador Sanders during the NFL draft.
1:49:51
In the viral video of Jax's now legendarily expensive prank, Jax
1:49:56
has shown talking to standards pretending to be the GM of the
1:49:59
Saints to tell him that he will be taken by them.
1:50:01
Then he told Sanders he would have to wait longer.
1:50:03
There were numerous reports of many top prospects being prank
1:50:06
call during the draft and report that the e-mail sent out by the
1:50:09
league had all the prospects numbers and was not a secure
1:50:12
e-mail. Luckily Jax is old enough not to
1:50:15
get his ass grounded for eternity and or significantly
1:50:18
worse punishment user imagination a father would need
1:50:21
to dole out for $100,000 prank that he has to pay for.

1:53:10
do. At 9:00, we were supposed to
1:53:12
have them, but we have them on at 9:30.
1:53:14
We're now talking to former Jets, Dolphins and Rams
1:53:18
defensive end, the one and only Quinton Colpo's.
1:53:20
Quinton, what's up, buddy? What's going on, fellas?
1:53:23
We're good, man. Listen.
1:53:26
It's it's OK, we missed. The traveling.
1:53:28
But I'm here now. So let's, let's do it.
1:53:30
All right, listen, I like the hat.
1:53:32
It definitely matches with The Jets colors, even though I'm
1:53:35
ashamed every single time I say I'm a Jet fan.
1:53:37
But nevertheless, the New York, you say that every time.
1:53:41
It's true, I mean. Future is bright.
1:53:45
The feud. Well, we.
1:53:46
Can only hope. I mean, I, I do like Aaron
1:53:48
Glenn. I like.
1:53:50
Aaron Glenn So. Why don't we go into the
1:53:52
offseason so far and the New York Jets obviously fire Joe
1:53:56
Douglas and Roberts, all is gone.
1:53:58
No more Jeff Ulbricht as his son did some unique and weird things
1:54:03
during the draft. But The Jets added obviously a
1:54:06
new new GM and a very good coach.
1:54:09
He was a New York Jet. Aaron Glenn.
1:54:11
He was a all pro New York Jet. He was a pro ball player for a
1:54:15
couple of years. I think it was four years and he
1:54:18
was at 1.1 of the better corners in the NFL.
1:54:21
What were your thoughts when you heard that the New York Jets
1:54:23
were going to hire Aaron Glenn? Little skeptical at first, but
1:54:30
he's a player so I'm always going to be pro player coaches.
1:54:34
I just think that we have an edge in a different coaching
1:54:37
dynamic when it comes to coaching players and getting the
1:54:41
best out of players. So for me, I was a little
1:54:45
shocked a little bit, but only due to the fact that, you know,
1:54:49
Aaron was the quarterback at the time of him being becoming the
1:54:52
head coach or being hired as the head coach.
1:54:55
But I think it was a good pick. I think it's a good pick.
1:54:58
I'm always going to be pro player coaches, like I said
1:55:00
before, and I think if the front office can stay out of the I
1:55:06
think you guys might have a shot at contending.
1:55:09
I won't give to hold on you say you.
1:55:12
Guys but wait a second, this is the same you guys that drafted
1:55:15
you in the first round? Sexy Rexy and his dancing with
1:55:19
his little mop on his head. So you say you guys, but you
1:55:22
were a New York Jet buddy. You were a first round prospect.
1:55:25
So I would say my time. There, I grew up a Steeler fan,
1:55:30
so I'm actually a Steeler fan. Well, you're going to have
1:55:32
Aaron. Rodgers, as you it was announced
1:55:35
yesterday that Aaron Rodgers is heading to the Steelers.
1:55:38
So at least you have a quarterback, but a quarterback
1:55:40
that likes to screw up locker rooms, as we all know.
1:55:43
So good luck on that, buddy. Good luck only only in.
1:55:46
Locker rooms that he's in control.
1:55:49
There's a different shift in dynamic and power structure over
1:55:53
there in pitch. Really.
1:55:55
Really. Let me ask you a question, and
1:55:57
I'm going to be quite honest with you, with everybody keeps
1:56:00
talking of how great the Pittsburgh Steelers are.
1:56:03
When was the last time the Pittsburgh Steelers actually won
1:56:06
a playoff game? Last time we won a playoff game.
1:56:10
It's been like covered up. It's decades.
1:56:12
It's over 10 years, 10 years, 10 years.
1:56:15
And you're going to say that they're built and, and they're,
1:56:18
well, we made it to the playoffs.
1:56:19
So who cares if you make it to the?
1:56:21
Playoffs. Yeah, I.
1:56:23
Know that's that's because we had Super Bowls and the standard
1:56:26
is to win the Super Bowl. It's like you just overlooked
1:56:29
the whole playoff scenario, like how difficult it is to actually
1:56:32
make it to the playoffs. Are The Jets?
1:56:36
Did The Jets make? It a first of all to stop
1:56:38
bringing. Up The Jets.
1:56:39
We know they suck. I am.
1:56:41
AI. Am a Jets fan, we know they
1:56:43
stink. They're absolutely.
1:56:45
He's also an Eagles. Fan, but I'm a supporter.
1:56:48
I want the best for The Jets just because they took a chance
1:56:51
on me. So I want the best for them.
1:56:53
And there were some things that I I would have asked them to do
1:56:56
a little differently before I left.
1:56:59
But you know, I didn't have that type of power control.
1:57:01
But I think they. The feature looks bright.
1:57:06
We'll just. Leave that there.
1:57:07
Yeah, we said that four years ago.
1:57:09
Quentin, we said that five years ago.
1:57:11
We said that 10 years ago. We said that 20-30 years ago.
1:57:14
And where is the brightness? Let's go.
1:57:16
Let's go through it. Before I let Speedy ask you a
1:57:18
question, let's go through it. Browning Nagle, wonderful, He
1:57:23
was wonderful. You're bringing Neil Donald,
1:57:25
absolutely wonderful as he went, He went to a Super Bowl from
1:57:29
your Steelers and then he goes to The Jets and absolutely is a
1:57:32
bombshell. Then you decide, hey, you know
1:57:35
what, let's let's go with Mangini, man genius as he calls
1:57:39
him. He decides, hey, let's bring in
1:57:41
Brett Favre. That really worked and he gets
1:57:44
fired within a couple of years. Then they decide, hey, you know
1:57:47
what we're going to do? We're going to bring in a young
1:57:48
quarterback in Mark Sanchez. He goes to two AFC title games
1:57:52
and couldn't get over the hump because he's eating hot dogs on
1:57:54
the sidelines. Then let's go.
1:57:57
Let's go after that. Christian Hackenberg.
1:57:59
Oh yeah, that guy. Second round draft pick from
1:58:01
Penn State, wonderful pick by the New York Jets as he couldn't
1:58:04
have a bronze side of a what do they call him but back They
1:58:08
couldn't the broad side of. The Barber?
1:58:09
He could hit a bar now. Can hit a reporter.
1:58:11
Unfortunately, there it is. Then after that, they went with
1:58:14
Geno Smith. How?
1:58:16
How far did that go? Second round draft pick.
1:58:18
Absolute bombshell. Then Sam Darnold, they bring him
1:58:21
in the top three pick. How did that work out for The
1:58:23
Jets? He goes to Minnesota and almost
1:58:26
wins an MVP and now he's over there with Seattle.
1:58:29
Then you'll let's go with another one, Zach Wilson.
1:58:33
What a pick that was second pick of the first round.
1:58:37
How long did it take him for The Jets decide to part ways with
1:58:39
him. It we go on and on and on and on
1:58:42
and on. It's just it's absolutely
1:58:44
putrid. Maybe Justin Fields is the guy
1:58:46
we have to see how he gets developed.
1:58:48
But nevertheless, it's just never good when you here the New
1:58:51
York Jets are looking for a quarterback I I think.
1:58:54
It's there's a culture thing there and that's something I've
1:58:57
been preaching to a lot of people when they asked me about
1:58:59
The Jets. Like what what is the identity
1:59:01
of being a Jet Like? OK, so if you for instance,
1:59:05
Pittsburgh is run the ball, right, It's downhill is collect
1:59:08
blue collar like you hear these terms thrown around, no hard
1:59:12
work. OK, so you go to Patriots when
1:59:14
they was on their their run, it was militant.
1:59:17
It was very orderly fashion, like they they had this standard
1:59:21
of being like you can't do nothing but buy into football,
1:59:26
you know, And so where's the culture for The Jets?
1:59:28
And that's my thing. And I think that's the missing
1:59:31
piece because there's no identity.
1:59:32
You have the big city, you have the support, you have the
1:59:35
lights, you have everything you need.
1:59:37
The facilities is amazing. You have everything you need and
1:59:40
thrown apart. However, you just don't have no
1:59:42
culture. There's no identity when it
1:59:45
comes to New York Jets. What else is it?
1:59:47
That's like, hey, you got the butt fumble.
1:59:50
Come on. See.
1:59:51
Like you go downhill from there. Come.
1:59:55
On Java, that was his rookie. Year you don't need to bring him
1:59:58
that dark yeah I. Saw it live right there and
2:00:03
yeah. We don't.
2:00:06
We. Don't What is the culture?
2:00:08
We don't. Have a culture here and I think,
2:00:11
and I say that it's AI, think there's the front office and the
2:00:14
foot and the football on the field.
2:00:17
Guys are intertwining and I don't think that should ever
2:00:21
happen. I think you should let the
2:00:22
football guys be the football guys and the front of front
2:00:25
office people be the front office people.
2:00:26
And that way you have you have it established already.
2:00:29
You understand, like even when we was there with rest re,
2:00:33
anybody that was smart knew that we needed Andy Reid or somebody
2:00:37
who just knows offense front to back where he don't have to go
2:00:41
over there at all. He don't even have to go to the
2:00:43
meeting. He could trust his offensive
2:00:46
court that he never had that we can stop.
2:00:49
We can stop an. Offense, but how much can we
2:00:51
stop if we keep doing 3 and out, three and out?
2:00:54
You know how often can you stop? No matter what great defense you
2:00:57
have, it don't matter. You can have all pro all the way
2:00:59
across the board. If you 3 and out, three and out,
2:01:01
three and out as a human, you're going to get tired.
2:01:04
As a human, you're going to have an error.
2:01:05
And then that one error can cost you 6-7 points.
2:01:08
Three points here there. So I think that's that like
2:01:12
we're not they're not paying attention to the things that's
2:01:14
going to get them over the edge and it's just let's just get the
2:01:17
right pieces. That looks good on paper in
2:01:20
regards to roster wise and coaching wise, but never like
2:01:24
identifying what the culture is and actually putting the system
2:01:29
and schemes around it. Like there was no scheme set up
2:01:31
for Gino. There's like, we're not trying.
2:01:35
To be the greatest, like we're not trying to beat people, we're
2:01:38
just putting people in position to actually try to win a game.
2:01:43
And then there's needs to be there needs to be a scheme that
2:01:46
you can implement that can actually work that this this
2:01:49
quarterback is actually comfortable with that he could
2:01:52
actually function with. And then that can go from
2:01:55
whether it's, you know, check downs and bubble screens,
2:01:57
running gun, West Coast offense, it's whatever you want to do.
2:02:00
You can't establish a run if you don't have an old line.
2:02:03
So therefore you need to make you need to put a scheme in
2:02:06
where we do zones, we do screens.
2:02:08
We do, you know, half that screens like we do these
2:02:10
different things that kind of make these guys feel like they
2:02:13
can block, give them confidence, give them some momentum to be a
2:02:17
give them something to work with.
2:02:19
Now that opens up for the past. And I don't think The Jets take
2:02:22
that serious. And I think, you know, hopefully
2:02:26
things change or things shift. So I wanted to ask from the.
2:02:29
Culture standpoint, like I was saying when The Jets hired Aaron
2:02:31
Glenn at the time, like even if they don't get the quick fixes,
2:02:34
I think we were kind of getting out with the culture.
2:02:35
Like they try to go for the best players just to get a quick fix
2:02:38
and it doesn't work for them. Like do you think this analogy
2:02:41
makes sense? Like comparing it to maybe the
2:02:42
2022 line, They just missed the playoffs but they have the big
2:02:45
second-half or the Eagles in 21 when Sirianni first got hired,
2:02:48
they squeaked in in the playoffs when they were supposed to be
2:02:50
one of the worst teams in the NFC.
2:02:51
Is that the type of year you want to see from The Jets?
2:02:53
Even though, even if they don't like make the playoffs right
2:02:55
away. So the players buy in.
2:02:58
Yeah, I, I. Think that I think they can have
2:03:00
that type of year due to the fact that there's no really
2:03:04
threat in the AFC East. Like there's no true like, OK,
2:03:08
we know they're going to be dominant.
2:03:11
You know, you got the Dolphins who have the skills and the
2:03:15
talent, but you know, with Tua and his concussions and you
2:03:19
know, the instability at the QB position and inconsistency
2:03:23
they've had, they've demonstrated throughout the last
2:03:26
year. So you don't know, you know,
2:03:28
they're not a guarantee that you know, they're going to come in
2:03:31
and be, you know, Kansas City or whoever, right?
2:03:34
Like it's, it's one of those things.
2:03:37
New England still a mess in my opinion, so.
2:03:41
Buffalo is. Dominant, yeah, but I I think
2:03:46
you can sneak right up under there into like a wild card
2:03:49
situation. I don't know if you guys can win
2:03:52
the conference, but, you know, I think Buffalo pretty much has
2:03:56
that control in regards to being consistent enough to be able to
2:04:00
actually win the conference and actually put the product out
2:04:04
there on the field. So, but I think you guys could
2:04:06
sneak in and be a wild card. I don't.
2:04:09
Yeah, I can see it happening if you win games.
2:04:12
But the first, to me, the first four games, it tells me how the
2:04:16
season's going to go. Do you think too like when?
2:04:19
It when it comes down to that, do you think the.
2:04:23
Draft class they and. I don't know how much you paid
2:04:25
attention to it, but do you think they filled spots that
2:04:28
they needed to? And do you think with the guys
2:04:31
coming in, do you think Aaron Glenn and I, I agree 100% when
2:04:35
it comes to, you know, having a player beat a coach?
2:04:38
Because it's just I understand there's different eyes that see
2:04:42
different things, but as players, you can kind of relate
2:04:44
when they come at you because they're coming at you for a
2:04:47
reason, because they've been through it.
2:04:48
So IA 100% agree. So do you think that they, you
2:04:52
know what the guys they brought in, Do you think Aaron Glenn
2:04:55
will be able to relate that to Woody and be like, Hey, let me
2:04:59
handle the XS and OS, you handle the other BS and stay out of my
2:05:03
business and let me do my work? It's tough.
2:05:08
One, because we're not in the rooms, but then 2 is not
2:05:10
understanding our relationship. But from what I know, I don't
2:05:13
know if Glenn has that cachet to be able to make.
2:05:19
Demands. Right now, to me, I think
2:05:21
they're going to want to see him win to some level and degree
2:05:25
before he comes in with any type of demands, sadly, But and I
2:05:31
also think that's going to play a part where is or is he still
2:05:35
tied to like that old school mentality and schemes or, or is
2:05:41
he is he able to relate to these kids and adapt and and adapt and
2:05:46
implement something that that speaks their language and not so
2:05:49
much our language or the language that was before me.
2:05:53
These kids now are a little different.
2:05:56
You know, I'm saying this at the high school level.
2:05:58
I'm saying it's at the college level where they're not
2:06:00
necessarily it's like going from.
2:06:06
A dial up to AI. A totally different world, like
2:06:10
just unbelievable difference and they're not necessarily they
2:06:15
don't want to back in our day we had to type papers, you know I
2:06:19
mean and now you got AI who can type of paper in 2 minutes, you
2:06:24
know I mean and just say don't pleasure eyes and then it makes
2:06:26
something up for you in 2 minutes.
2:06:29
So with that being said, can he adapt to that level and get the
2:06:34
these new this new generation to buy in?
2:06:36
Half of it is going to come with winning.
2:06:38
But also if he could create us a fun scheme that that everybody
2:06:43
buys into, I think that gets them over the edge.
2:06:47
But do you think athletes are? Softer now today than they were
2:06:50
back then. I wouldn't use that term.
2:06:53
But I think they're they're more skilled, but they don't they
2:06:58
lack the discipline and the fundamentals.
2:07:02
So when you have a. Super.
2:07:03
Athlete, they don't understand the fundamentals of
2:07:06
understanding. OK, you know, for me lining up
2:07:12
against a left tackle looking at his kneecap, OK, I shouldn't
2:07:16
say. Softer but are are are less to
2:07:20
take constructive criticism and feel like they're being attacked
2:07:23
more instead of taking. But that's where, yeah.
2:07:26
Well, I think that's where the player coach comes in there
2:07:29
because it's easier to receive more from a player side.
2:07:32
I don't know, but these days these kids want something that's
2:07:37
more relevant. Like what have you done in the
2:07:39
last five years? Like are you one of those guys
2:07:41
who retired early and then got the job and now you can relate
2:07:45
to the struggles that I go through with these that nature.
2:07:47
So it's one of those things where my generation and before
2:07:50
we was always told to respect your peers, even if you know
2:07:53
something better. There's always that that genuine
2:07:56
respect these kids today, it's like if I don't buy into it, I'm
2:08:00
checking out. I mean, you look at it from the
2:08:02
Pittsburgh side, like George Pickens, like even though Arthur
2:08:06
Smith is a harbor offensive coordinator, he did a harbor
2:08:09
job. I ain't going to say he'll
2:08:10
harbor, but he he did a horrible job with like scheming him and
2:08:14
put him in different route concepts that can actually allow
2:08:18
him to flourish. He threw a temp attentions and
2:08:24
he had like some sometimes where you like question it.
2:08:26
Now receivers are always Divas, but there's there's control that
2:08:31
needs to happen and I just don't think that this generation know
2:08:37
how to control their emotions because they growing up in a
2:08:41
society that tells them whatever they're feeling is right.
2:08:46
We are talking to former. Jets, Dolphins and Rams
2:08:49
defensive defensive end Quinton Couples.
2:08:51
He was a first round draft pick for the New York Jets.
2:08:54
I think that year The Jets had three first round draft picks
2:08:58
and he was one of them. And you want you want me to tell
2:09:01
you something And I agree with you.
2:09:02
I think a lot of players are prima donnas.
2:09:05
You watch the NBA, it's enough said.
2:09:06
I mean, the LJA, the LeBron James Association has always
2:09:10
been a prima Donna sport. Ever since LeBron James is
2:09:13
coming to the league. I think the NFL has transitioned
2:09:15
into that. I think it hasn't benefited any
2:09:18
of the players. But there is a player that was
2:09:21
drafted by the New York Giants this past year and fell to the
2:09:24
Giants and everybody thought that this guy was the
2:09:27
predominant number one pick in any other draft class.
2:09:31
But obviously Tennessee needed a quarterback.
2:09:34
If they didn't need a quarterback, Abdul Carter would
2:09:36
have been the number one pick. He's the best player in this
2:09:38
class defensively and, and some people say that he could.
2:09:42
He's so talented, he's so athletic.
2:09:44
He could probably play some offensive positions as well.
2:09:47
Your thoughts to Abdul Carter going to the New York Giants?
2:09:51
What type of player should the Giants fans look forward to
2:09:55
watching as a Giant fan? He's special and I, I comment
2:10:01
later on this whole playing both sides, yeah, he's a special kid,
2:10:06
man. I think they could be excited
2:10:09
about him. But one thing about it, I think
2:10:13
they had a great draft overall. I think they're probably the
2:10:16
first round especially. They had a day.
2:10:18
They won the first round by far. So to me and then so I think
2:10:24
they got a great, great, great pass rusher, great talent.
2:10:28
It's hard to say what he's going to do in the NFL even with the
2:10:31
athleticism because like I go back to you, like a lot of times
2:10:36
people don't realize that no matter how skilled you are, if
2:10:39
you're in the wrong scheme, it can go downhill fast.
2:10:42
And the thing about him, he's similar to Michael Parson and
2:10:47
things that nature, like, I don't want them to get too
2:10:49
crazy, which New York Giants ain't really like that in
2:10:52
regards to how they pay their defensive lineman.
2:10:54
They pretty much pay them straight up.
2:10:57
But that whole hybrid now, they call it a edge where you
2:11:00
dropping in the coverage or you're doing everything but
2:11:02
rushing the passer. As long as he's rushing the
2:11:06
passer, I think he's going to be great.
2:11:07
I think he's going to be all right.
2:11:08
I would love to see how you respond if they haven't like
2:11:11
losing seasons, because that's when you really understand the
2:11:14
identity of the player when they haven't losing season, when they
2:11:18
slide protection to him, things of that nature.
2:11:22
I was too much, too much familiar with who New York got
2:11:24
on a front, but he Dexter Lawrence.
2:11:27
Obviously special. Yeah, Dustin, he went for.
2:11:30
He came. To the Cowboys, right?
2:11:31
Yeah, Thibodeau. Dexter Lawrence was drafted.
2:11:35
He he was a draft pick. Oh, he's drafted there.
2:11:37
Yeah. Brian.
2:11:37
Burns was the one that was. Trying Caroline.
2:11:39
Yeah, Burns. Who's really?
2:11:40
Sensational. His second-half.
2:11:43
Brian Burns actually had a good second-half.
2:11:45
The first couple of games Brian Burns did not look really,
2:11:47
really good. But now you have Burns, he's a,
2:11:50
he's a pro ball player. You have Dexter next to
2:11:52
Lawrence, who's probably the best defensive tackle in all the
2:11:55
football, and then you have a guy like Abdul Carter.
2:11:57
You have Thibodeau there. Still keep that.
2:11:59
So they start. Yes, they could.
2:12:02
They're trying. To kind of get that jet line.
2:12:03
Where they had, yes, JPP and all the boys there, Yeah.
2:12:08
Yeah. OK.
2:12:08
Justin Tuck, Kiwanuka. Yeah, they they were the Giants.
2:12:13
Yeah, OC human you are. So OC yeah.
2:12:16
They they. They have a tremendous amount of
2:12:19
talent. You, the Giants have always
2:12:20
built their team around their defensive line, line and
2:12:23
linebacker play. And now you you have a guy that
2:12:25
is a linebacker, an outside linebacker that you could put as
2:12:28
a defensive end. You can scheme in many different
2:12:31
ways. He's not just good, He's not
2:12:33
just good at rushing the quarterback.
2:12:35
He can actually stop the run. He can he's so athletic.
2:12:38
The question is how healthy is he going to be?
2:12:40
Remember, he just got screws put in his ankle.
2:12:43
I mean, that puts a lot of pressure on his legs and he
2:12:45
likes, he likes to what they say is he gets very, very, very low
2:12:50
to the ground and, and, and around the bend.
2:12:52
So that puts a lot of stress on your legs and your ankles.
2:12:55
Obviously you are a pass rusher, obviously your defensive
2:12:58
lineman. What kind of pressure is that
2:13:01
going to be for a guy that's a rookie who could do anything
2:13:05
athletically as a defensive lineman?
2:13:07
And now, obviously with the injuries, could he do what he
2:13:10
did in Penn State? Yeah, I, I I believe so.
2:13:14
I mean, Penn State's still powerful for our school out if
2:13:18
he went to doctor Anderson, hopefully he did, he'll be real
2:13:22
good because they, you know, it's it's a difference in the
2:13:25
surgery when you got, you know, the screws in and they got like
2:13:28
this met this rubber plate that they put in versus the rod,
2:13:32
which is the rod is it sucks and it has killed a lot of careers.
2:13:37
But the rubber plate is flexible and it allows your foot to bend
2:13:41
and still do the normal operate at the mechanic level that it
2:13:45
did and the natural with the tendon.
2:13:47
So I don't think it's going to be too much.
2:13:50
And when did he have the surgery right?
2:13:54
After the season actually he didn't play in the championship
2:13:57
game speed he did. He played in the semi final game
2:13:59
against. Notre Dame, Yes, they lost and
2:14:01
the lost against Notre Dame. And then right after the season
2:14:03
it was he had the ankle surgery and they said they put screws in
2:14:06
it. So I, I don't know anything
2:14:08
about it. So no, I got screws in mine too.
2:14:11
I when I had Jabba, did too I think.
2:14:13
Right, Jabba did. Fractured my tibula at the and
2:14:16
one of the preseason games versus the Giants.
2:14:19
I think it was anyway, yeah. So I I don't think it'll be a
2:14:24
issue at all. Like I said, we had three kind
2:14:27
of three the first four games or whatever.
2:14:28
He has time to heal and with advanced science and technology
2:14:32
now you know, surgeries ain't the same thing that they used to
2:14:35
be so you can hit a lot faster. So I believe you pretty much
2:14:39
will be all right. It'd be interesting to see how
2:14:43
he how he respond. But from a past rest of stance,
2:14:46
it's all about rhythm and and being that he got the name, he
2:14:50
kind of got the ball in his court and he could dance and and
2:14:53
do what he need to do. He'd get him get some sex and
2:14:56
he'd be all right. He didn't.
2:14:58
Have the surgery by. The way.
2:15:00
Oh, he didn't. No.
2:15:01
He opted not. To naturally heal.
2:15:05
I'm pretty sure he had the. Surgery.
2:15:08
No, he forgot it. And then went to participate in
2:15:13
his pro day fish just. Posted it and then I.
2:15:16
Just looked it up too. So he didn't get to surgery.
2:15:20
So, So what? What did he actually?
2:15:21
Like break, fracture, anything. Or it was just more like a high
2:15:24
ankle. It was a stress fracture, a
2:15:25
stress. Fracture in his right.
2:15:27
Foot and then he should have had the surgery they they.
2:15:29
Were thinking they had to stabilize it like you were
2:15:31
saying. That's it.
2:15:33
You have a stress the only issue that I would have on.
2:15:35
That was that that MetLife is turf.
2:15:38
So that and it's been known to take some some, some some guys
2:15:43
out. So what?
2:15:45
What's your thoughts on the? Turf verse natural grass oh is
2:15:48
is there's no. Competition at all natural gas
2:15:50
all day. I I really don't understand why
2:15:54
we went heavily on turf. Best grass I ever paid on is in
2:15:58
Green Bay and August September. It's unbelievable.
2:16:03
And then second Rogers that game too.
2:16:04
But like, yeah, so it's it's it's it's not it's UN unmatched
2:16:11
turf is good for. Maintenance.
2:16:14
And you don't got to do a lot and then you know it from a
2:16:18
business stance I understand because you know you can just
2:16:20
throw some tart over it or whatever.
2:16:22
Host the a concert, then slap, pull the tart up, whatever spray
2:16:26
to feel. Now you got a football game the
2:16:27
next day. So the convenience you, you
2:16:30
know, ticket sales and all that other stuff from a business
2:16:32
stance, numbers wise, it makes sense.
2:16:34
But that natural grass from a football player is unmatched.
2:16:40
You know, it gives in a little bit still sturdy enough when you
2:16:44
plant, it's less maintenance on your joints.
2:16:47
So I, I would, I would definitely go do grass hands
2:16:52
down. I've never heard anybody really
2:16:54
support turf. So what are your thoughts of The
2:16:57
Jets? Draft man Boo in the first
2:16:58
round, thought of maybe he's the best offensive lineman, the
2:17:00
biggest offensive lineman. Mason Taylor in the second
2:17:03
round, Who's Jason Taylor's son, Wife.
2:17:04
I don't. I don't know if you cross paths.
2:17:06
I know he's with The Jets for a little while, but what are your
2:17:08
thoughts? He came back like once.
2:17:10
Once or twice, but I I really kind of seen him in Miami when I
2:17:14
was down there for the finishing up my contract.
2:17:18
I think they I think like we talked about earlier, I think
2:17:20
they did good with regards to finding the pieces that they
2:17:23
needed. But it's, you know, yeah, a
2:17:26
long, you know, uphill battle in regards to, you know, with the
2:17:30
run defense. What a 2920 that was at the
2:17:32
bottom of the pack. SCRS for carry.
2:17:34
On offense, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
2:17:37
So it is going to be interesting to see how to do that, how they
2:17:42
incre improve from been at the bottom of the pack to going
2:17:47
further. And I know they got to kind of
2:17:49
see where Justin that. So it's going to be a lot of
2:17:51
passing to kind of get some data on him.
2:17:54
So that that that should be good.
2:17:58
The kid that drafted was good, though.
2:18:00
He's he's a stud. I like to pick and like I said,
2:18:04
I like it from a roster move, but I don't know his scheme or
2:18:09
whether or not that'll actually play out the way it's supposed
2:18:12
to. It's not to tell with the scheme
2:18:13
right now, they want. To make it like a Lions type
2:18:15
thing. But the Lions never had a mobile
2:18:16
quarterback there. Even the backups for Jared Goff
2:18:18
were not just correct types. And those are like true
2:18:23
quarterbacks versus Justin, who's an athletic QB.
2:18:27
Yeah, So you. Expected a little.
2:18:29
Modified. From that, yeah, yeah.
2:18:31
So you can't. Compare Lamar to like, you know,
2:18:34
Sam Donald or somebody like, you know, it's just totally
2:18:37
different. So it's going to be interesting
2:18:40
to see and I'm I'm sure Justin is in here with like trying to
2:18:43
be a pocket QB as well. Yeah, do do you think too?
2:18:50
Like as as this. Draft like comes.
2:18:53
To an end and everybody's kind of fitting in and showing up and
2:18:56
dude, like you coming in as a first round pick and we've kind
2:19:00
of touched on this before you as a rookie coming into a clubhouse
2:19:05
locker room, whatever you want to call it.
2:19:07
Like what was what was your thought process as as a young
2:19:10
kid being a first round pick coming into the locker room and
2:19:15
how you approached it? And you know, your mentality of,
2:19:19
OK, I'm a young kid, there's vets, do I lean on them?
2:19:22
You know, obviously there's standards held on me for being a
2:19:25
first round pick. And what was your mentality
2:19:28
coming into that? Because there's a lot of kids
2:19:30
now coming into this profession now completely different than
2:19:35
it. Is.
2:19:36
You know, what was your mentality coming into it And as
2:19:38
far as like in in rookie camp and then you OTAs and all the
2:19:42
other stuff. Yeah, I, I.
2:19:44
Would just suggest that they find somebody that they can
2:19:47
really bond with in regards to their draft class.
2:19:50
For me it was a snatch Damien Harrison, so me and him wrote it
2:19:54
all the way out even to this day.
2:19:56
But that's going to be key for the rookies, certain.
2:20:01
Locker rooms have bets that you can lean on but majority of the
2:20:06
locker rooms you got to like quote UN quote earn your keeper
2:20:10
whatever. Which is to me is insane that
2:20:13
you're asking a 23 year old to come in now that you're B25
2:20:16
coming. In and B25 coming in.
2:20:19
But still, even then, like you, you talking about leading grown
2:20:22
man who's been in the league 3 plus years, five years, eight
2:20:25
years, it's hard. It's going to be hard to win the
2:20:28
locker room overall, so the best thing you can do is kind of have
2:20:33
somebody that you can, you know, go out with or have
2:20:38
conversations with, side conversations with, build that
2:20:42
relationship, you know, trying to build that brotherhood
2:20:44
amongst them and then play ball on the field.
2:20:48
It's going to be difficult for any record to lead it, which is
2:20:51
really hard, especially when you got guys who wasn't drafted who
2:20:56
don't really like first rounders, you know, because NFL
2:20:59
really does a bad job or disservice to our rookies
2:21:05
because there's no, there's no like work on warming.
2:21:09
House warming party like. There's no, you know, place
2:21:12
where you kind of like feel welcome it it immediately
2:21:15
becomes a business. And so you go from college where
2:21:20
it's like everybody's together. We're riding the die.
2:21:23
We're going to war together, Sid, to get an NFL and it's you
2:21:27
do your 111, you got to take. Care of your family I.
2:21:30
Got to take care of my family. I don't really care if you mess
2:21:33
up. I don't really care if you do
2:21:34
it. You know what I mean?
2:21:35
Like I only care if you mess up. We are on the field and we got
2:21:37
to ruin out the practice because you don't know the playbook or
2:21:39
whatever. But it's not like a genuine
2:21:42
like, yo, I'm trying to help dial in out of my time there.
2:21:46
It was only a couple guys that I seen really reached back and
2:21:49
help the guys, which was Revis, Cromartie, Dave Harris fell in
2:21:57
love with Demario Davis. And so he kind of like at first
2:22:01
it was a little shaky, but then they kind of kind of grew
2:22:03
together. And then Ed Reed came in and he
2:22:07
was on the tail end of his career.
2:22:09
So he really balled into like teaching the second day or
2:22:12
whatever. And I kind of because I had a
2:22:14
drop in the coverage and stuff like that.
2:22:15
I used to stay some of that meetings and he kind of taught
2:22:18
me some technique along with Revis.
2:22:20
Revis taught me some stuff on on the field, so for the most part,
2:22:24
you're not going to really find that type of, you know, unless.
2:22:28
It's like one of those. Guys who's on their way out may
2:22:30
take you under their wing, but even if you look at the
2:22:33
structure of how they did the draft like from after the
2:22:36
lockout, the old they, they made the old guys hate the younger
2:22:41
guys based off Jamarcus Russell situation and so.
2:22:46
Now we got to. We basically the owners fooled
2:22:50
them and made them sign a contract where we got to prove
2:22:52
ourselves for four years and then they can franchise us for
2:22:56
two more years. So you get 6 years before you
2:22:59
even have to pay me in the league that's averaged career is
2:23:03
2.933 years. Like as a as a.
2:23:07
Player, you should have never signed that contract.
2:23:10
And you only use the Jamarcus. Russell situation but nobody
2:23:13
talks about hey, if I give a kid that's 2223 out of college 80 to
2:23:18
$100 million with no support and just.
2:23:23
Expect him to be a. Pro because I filled his bank
2:23:25
account up with money. What do you think?
2:23:29
Like you talk about somebody who has zero and get eighty $100
2:23:32
million and it's like, hey, become a pro, be a pro, make
2:23:37
responsible decisions at 2223 years old.
2:23:40
OK, but cute. But let me.
2:23:41
Ask you this though as the. Game has evolved.
2:23:45
The game has changed NIL, too. You got some of these cats
2:23:48
coming in with two, three, $4 million out of college and they,
2:23:53
they're, they're happen to make these decisions.
2:23:56
Do you think that plays a part into it where it's like, well, I
2:23:59
already got bread in my pocket? Well, not Yeah, you're going to
2:24:02
see a drop. Off in the in the league and I
2:24:04
think you and I think you already seen it in the NBAI
2:24:06
think they said something from the stats or something.
2:24:10
I ain't correctly accurate on it, but I think that NBA talent.
2:24:16
Prospect not talent prospects, but.
2:24:19
Tryouts, basically the the kids that tried out for the NBA
2:24:23
dropped tremendously. It's not the NBA, it's the.
2:24:25
LJA LeBron James Association, just so you know, right?
2:24:31
So yeah, so I think it's going to happen in the NFL too,
2:24:34
because the NFL gave us money and marketing I got.
2:24:39
Social media for. Marketing and I'm having an NRA
2:24:42
deal and the and the and the cap constantly keeps going up,
2:24:46
right. So you can do four to five
2:24:49
years, say you have it, you get players of COVID year, whatever.
2:24:52
You can do four to five years and make anywhere between 10 to
2:24:57
$20 million. There's no need to go to the NFL
2:25:04
because, because think about it, even if you go to the NFL, what
2:25:07
you got to do, you got to prove yourself for four years before
2:25:09
they have to pay you that you have.
2:25:12
To if you. Get drafted right and then they
2:25:15
get the two years of franchising you.
2:25:19
That's I don't need. To go and I can still make
2:25:24
decent bottom tier NFL money over 4 years and the depending
2:25:30
where I'm at so if I'm in a Florida Texas no state taxes now
2:25:36
you're. Talking about more income.
2:25:37
In my pocket, hopefully invest. That.
2:25:40
I can't stand it I. I don't, I don't know about
2:25:42
that. I can't stand it.
2:25:43
Why they made? Billions off of us.
2:25:46
I don't understand why we are mad at kids for doing it now
2:25:49
when they have made we're behind.
2:25:52
You know how many like you know how many careers of like legends
2:25:58
that we could have witnessed, but because you couldn't come
2:26:02
back home because you're a professional athlete, you
2:26:04
couldn't come back and Take Me Out to eat and just have a you.
2:26:07
You can't. Now the kids, you can do it.
2:26:09
It would have been an NCAA. Violation, dude.
2:26:11
Arched and. NCAA violation that would have.
2:26:14
Make you you. Basically it was a criminal
2:26:16
based off society because you took improper benefits.
2:26:21
They shame you on TV. They shame you in the press and
2:26:25
you don't have a shot. It's not like there was a school
2:26:27
outside of D2 or JUCO that was like, hey, you could come over
2:26:31
here and we're still support you and treat you for your talent.
2:26:34
Yeah, we, I mean, we would literally.
2:26:36
Get told like if we went on the sideline or something, it's like
2:26:39
you can't talk to him. Like you can't take a picture.
2:26:42
You can't do this because then it's like you're coerting.
2:26:46
Imagine how many kids we have. So many stories of people who
2:26:49
were super athletes and got caught up in at the wrong club
2:26:54
or at a party and receiving some type of benefits.
2:26:57
I mean, they had us on chains. I was under investigation at
2:27:00
North Carolina, so I know first hand about it.
2:27:02
So it's like. Now the ball is in the.
2:27:06
Athletes court now. Now the only thing I hate about
2:27:08
it now is that and I'm trying to work on something that actually
2:27:12
helped this. But now that the NINIL is in
2:27:15
place, there needs to be structure around it.
2:27:20
Because it don't make sense now because.
2:27:21
You, I can, I can give you 10 million and you're going to give
2:27:23
it right back to me. So you know every guy got.
2:27:27
His own jury guy. You know, if you go to the
2:27:29
Diamond district, you would think that, you know, all these
2:27:32
people are in competition with each other.
2:27:33
They the same family. You think you better watch it
2:27:38
and to get at this guy that's his cousin.
2:27:42
It's just different names. It's watch Key, Raphael and Cole
2:27:46
like you got you got all these different names, but it's the
2:27:49
same people. They all are part of the same
2:27:51
family. They all get the same and they
2:27:53
trade amongst each other the whole time.
2:27:55
It's a bunch of so it's like, man.
2:27:57
Yeah. But so.
2:27:58
But now that the kids got it, it's like, hey, let's, let's,
2:28:02
let's help the kids out and understanding how to actually
2:28:05
properly manage this money. That's my only issue with it
2:28:08
because the kids are going to get the money and I'm happy that
2:28:10
they are getting the money. They're getting the money for
2:28:12
the people. A lot of people who lost a lot
2:28:14
of money, a lot of people who lost their career behind people
2:28:18
wanting to support them and keep them afloat while they was in
2:28:21
college. And so now that they got that
2:28:23
opportunity, I just want them to take advantage of it and
2:28:25
actually keep it and actually make something of it instead of
2:28:28
just giving it back to them buying unnecessary stuff.
2:28:31
I'm going to tell you this. I'm.
2:28:32
Watching the Knicks and and watching this game, they are,
2:28:35
the Pistons are a rough team and they're brutally rough.
2:28:40
I mean, I just, you're supposed to be right.
2:28:42
I yeah, but I I see. Carl Anthony Towns just had an
2:28:45
elbow right in his chest and, and they didn't call, they
2:28:48
didn't call a foul. I, we all understand he's not
2:28:51
the guy. It doesn't matter.
2:28:52
The fact is, is that the the I understand they have home field
2:28:55
advantage, homecourt advantage, but they're playing rough and,
2:28:59
and, and to me, the Knicks are going to lose this game.
2:29:01
I guarantee you the Knicks are going to lose this game.
2:29:04
They messed up. They had a 10 point at one point
2:29:06
at 1515 point lead. I just, I can't watch it before
2:29:10
before we let you go. Q because I know you're pretty
2:29:12
busy. We have I have one more question
2:29:14
for you. And and it's it's obviously and
2:29:17
by the way, if anybody doesn't know, we are talking to former
2:29:20
Jets first round draft pick Quinn Couples, defensive lineman
2:29:24
four years in the NFL and had a pretty, you know, had a pretty
2:29:28
good career. I mean, if you think he played
2:29:30
for three different teams, he played for The Jets, the
2:29:32
Dolphins and Rams. Speaking of a guy that really
2:29:35
stood out in the draft is the one guy, ladies and gentlemen,
2:29:39
that everybody was talking about as a first round draft pick
2:29:42
falls to the fifth round. Your thoughts to the craziness
2:29:47
of Shudor Sanders? Where?
2:29:49
Where do we? Start.
2:29:50
Well, take take note. OK, so first of all, I think
2:29:53
that if you ever listen to anybody who actually played in
2:29:56
football, play football in the NFL, we're all pretty much
2:30:00
saying the same thing, OK, We want the best for the kid.
2:30:06
But in regards to business and how he conducted himself
2:30:10
throughout the process, it, it was a total disaster.
2:30:15
I was not surprised shot the minute that Dion had his.
2:30:20
His father, Deion Sanders, has said that he can only go to a
2:30:23
certain market. I knew it was going to be over
2:30:26
for him. The kid can play.
2:30:27
He's not jumping off the board, but he's not the guy.
2:30:31
Unless he changes, he's not going to survive in the NFL.
2:30:34
He's going to be in this situation now.
2:30:37
He has a golden opportunity now, which I think his PR team is
2:30:40
trying to do. It being that he went to go see
2:30:41
a high school kid, like the first day I'm getting down
2:30:44
there. But he he's he's too flashy,
2:30:48
he's too arrogant. And when I say arrogant, that's
2:30:51
not to diminish his confidence. So there's a difference between
2:30:54
confidence. There's a confidence on the
2:30:56
field. Like I understand this game to a
2:30:58
point where you can't do it. There's no doubt in my mind that
2:31:02
Cam Ward is way more arrogant or confident than he is.
2:31:06
But how did he approach the process?
2:31:09
And I think that's the part that he is missing.
2:31:12
And it's hard to be in his ear because his father is in his ear
2:31:16
and his father is pretty much a OK.
2:31:19
And everything that happened, I think there was a very humbling
2:31:24
lesson that was given. And the kid has an opportunity
2:31:29
between now and camp to change the narrative.
2:31:32
You can still be a superstar. You can still be a very
2:31:37
confident young individual. But what he failed to realize is
2:31:40
he made no money for the NFL like.
2:31:44
You and he. Was talking as if and he had
2:31:46
already did something in the NFL.
2:31:50
He was behaving as if and he was already doing something.
2:31:54
He had already made money for the NFL he was at.
2:31:57
He didn't have no leverage. He has 0 leverage on the board.
2:32:02
Like we can find 10 shooter Sanders.
2:32:09
Like you're not giving us. Something like you're not giving
2:32:11
us something that's eye dropping.
2:32:13
We can't find 10 Abdul Carter's. It's impossible.
2:32:19
You know you can't find 10 Travis Hunters.
2:32:22
It's impossible. So when you're not, you're not
2:32:25
that guy, but you had the opportunity to be a first
2:32:28
runner. You had the opportunity to be a
2:32:29
second runner. But he's a gremlin by the.
2:32:31
Way Travis Hunter is Gremlin all right just so you know he's
2:32:35
going to be in the new movie gremlins 3 so so you know he's
2:32:39
going to have a starring role in that movie he's definitely one
2:32:41
of the ugliest I just pray. That he stay on the defensive
2:32:45
side. So do I.
2:32:46
So do I. Because offensively he loves to
2:32:48
break. By the way, I was at the Heisman
2:32:50
Trophy dinner, The guy loves to break about his he's a dual
2:32:54
threat and everything like that. Why don't you just play one
2:32:57
position? We all know that Dion came out
2:32:59
and said that you are a corner, you are an all pro corner.
2:33:02
So play the corner position and maybe if they fusion spots as an
2:33:06
offensive wide receiver, maybe they sticky here and sticky
2:33:09
there. There should no way, no way him
2:33:12
playing to a double dose. And I understand everybody says
2:33:15
well that's why he was a second pick in the first round.
2:33:17
There's no way he should be playing two way bad football.
2:33:20
I just don't think he's that type of player.
2:33:22
It'll be a detriment. To them, it's never, it has
2:33:24
happened before, like somebody actually being able to
2:33:27
successfully turn around and play on the other side of the
2:33:29
ball. Like it's not, it's so it's not
2:33:31
a it's not a thing. It's a it's not ability thing.
2:33:34
And I think that's the thing that that needs to be separated.
2:33:37
Like, hey, do you have the ability?
2:33:38
Absolutely. Should you know, like you're not
2:33:42
going to get on an NFL field and think that you're going to like
2:33:45
your routes aren't like that NFL style routes.
2:33:50
Like you're not capable of coming out of breaks and cuts
2:33:52
and like you're not going to be able to fool a pro defensive
2:33:56
back. And I think that people like,
2:33:59
and I tell people like the PAC 10 is respected.
2:34:01
We we cool. So it's a power fired school or
2:34:04
whatever, right? But it's ACC and SEC been
2:34:08
running this thing forever. You know Big 10 been running
2:34:11
this thing forever. Same thing we should.
2:34:14
Do it right Should. Do it didn't beat nobody but
2:34:15
what TCU they end up being under TCU when they lost everybody
2:34:19
after their. Championship and then 500.
2:34:21
That year, like you haven't done nothing versus somebody for you
2:34:24
to hang your hat on. I heard camp say this like you
2:34:26
haven't done nothing and I was saying it, but he made it sound
2:34:29
better like you haven't done anything that said hey should
2:34:33
do. Is the guy Travis?
2:34:35
You went out there and think about this.
2:34:38
Do you think Dion had any type of input in regards to making
2:34:41
sure that they threw the ball? Making sure that Travis was the
2:34:44
one or two option 100% So what? Do you think?
2:34:47
That the NFL coaches is going to go into a game plan room and say
2:34:50
hey, yeah, we're going to focus on getting Travis the ball.
2:34:53
Like when I got a Tyreek Hill, when I got Justin Jefferson.
2:34:57
Like when I have a pro receiver, I don't need to.
2:35:00
And it may not be to that caliber in regards to who's on
2:35:03
the roster, but these they are that person in that room and
2:35:08
that. Like in that locker room, we're.
2:35:09
Not going to just sit out here and play pitch and catch with
2:35:13
you because of your name. He's a all pro DBI think he has
2:35:17
the ability to be able to break the bank as a defensive back
2:35:21
and. Basically be the number.
2:35:24
One DB that we ever seen that he has the answer to actually do
2:35:28
that, that we been in the game well, we really.
2:35:31
Appreciate. It it's a, it's a passing league
2:35:34
now. Right.
2:35:34
Yes, you know, you and you. Talking about.
2:35:36
Dion and all the other greats that they they used to run the
2:35:39
ball. You still got Barry Runners in
2:35:40
that league, you still got Emma Smith.
2:35:42
Like you got some dolls in that league that was running the
2:35:44
ball, running the Rock Marshall fault, you know, different guys
2:35:47
that was owning the league, running the ball.
2:35:49
So you had to respect that. Now you're talking about a
2:35:51
league. Now that's 7075% pass, right?
2:35:56
So your numbers can shoot. Sky, sky up.
2:36:00
You know that's. That's why it.
2:36:01
Was that's why Shanky came out and was challenging Dion, but
2:36:06
that's another story. But just so you.
2:36:08
Know Travis Hunter is not going to be an all world corner.
2:36:12
I I think everybody's out of their minds.
2:36:14
I don't really think he's. You don't think he's a corner,
2:36:16
no. I don't think, I think he's.
2:36:17
Highly overrated. I, I really do.
2:36:20
I, I think he's highly I, I would tell you more, but we, we
2:36:24
definitely got to go. We could talk offline, but I, I
2:36:27
will tell you this, Travis Hunter is one of the most
2:36:31
overrated prospects I've ever seen come out of the NFL draft.
2:36:35
And I think the Jaguars, they're the one organization that I know
2:36:40
is going to make, they've always made mistakes and they're making
2:36:43
a big mistake on this gremlin. This guy is going to absolutely
2:36:47
hurt this team. I'm telling you, he's not a team
2:36:49
player and he doesn't work very good with team with players.
2:36:52
He's had a problem. And even when I met him at the
2:36:55
Heisman Trophy, the guy was rude and and very disrespectful.
2:36:59
So I and he has this woman tell him what's going on and what's
2:37:03
not going on. OK, When you he is not taking
2:37:06
charge, he's not a person is that is a leader.
2:37:09
And you can see the difference in who he is as a person on and
2:37:12
off the field. He's got ability.
2:37:14
We all know his talents. I think he's highly overrated.
2:37:18
I think he's highly overrated. Highly overrated.
2:37:20
Highly. Overrated I.
2:37:21
Think you hear this? You have the producer opinion.
2:37:24
Hear this, hear this, hear this, hear this.
2:37:28
Seven years he'll be out of the NFL.
2:37:30
Travis Hunter. Seven years on his own will or
2:37:33
by. But nobody's going to.
2:37:35
Nobody. 'S going to want to deal with
2:37:36
his crap. Nobody's going to deal with his
2:37:38
seven years. This has to be the craziest take
2:37:41
out. Seven years, seven years he will
2:37:44
be out of the NFL. Seven years, seven years you
2:37:46
will be out of the NFL. You can book it, buddy.
2:37:50
Overrated. One of the most overrated
2:37:52
defensive backs I've ever seen come out of the first round in
2:37:55
the draft. He's not even the he was not
2:37:58
even the best DB in this class. He was probably the third.
2:38:02
He wasn't the best wide receiver in his class, probably the
2:38:05
fourth. He is one of the most overrated
2:38:08
Heisman Trophy winners we've ever seen.
2:38:11
So I don't think you should have wide Heisman.
2:38:13
But Arrow, come on, Arrow, I'm telling you, watch.
2:38:16
Remember I said this. You're going to come.
2:38:19
Back to me and you're. Going to say that guy, That guy
2:38:22
is a magician. How did he guess this was going
2:38:25
to happen? I'm going.
2:38:27
To come back and say arrow. I got you public apologies.
2:38:30
I got. Listen, I'm telling you there is
2:38:33
no way he lasts longer than 7-8 years in the NFL as a matter of
2:38:37
fact. So think he's highly over
2:38:39
already guaranteed for us. Oh.
2:38:41
My gosh. Yep, this is this is unexpected.
2:38:45
I'm so shocked. Shocked to what he's not.
2:38:48
He is not as good as you think he is.
2:38:50
He really isn't. He's overrated.
2:38:52
You think he's he's just. Overrated I I.
2:38:55
Just I've seen a lot of guys come out of the draft and we
2:38:58
thought he was going to be good and and falling off.
2:39:00
He is just personality. It's his personality.
2:39:04
That doesn't matter. I think ability.
2:39:07
No, it's personality. It's personality.
2:39:08
It's going to hurt him. It's going to hurt him, It's
2:39:10
going to get him out. Of the league.
2:39:11
Oh yeah, absolutely nobody's. Going to want him.
2:39:13
Nobody's going to want to deal with that crap in the locker
2:39:15
room. 10 interceptions. He's not getting 10.
2:39:18
He's. Not getting 10 year receptions
2:39:20
in the NFL. First of all, he's skinny as
2:39:22
hell. He better put some size on him
2:39:24
because the guy has the skinniest chicken legs I've ever
2:39:27
seen as a DB. OK, 6 foot one, yeah.
2:39:31
I was stood right next. To him, I stood right next to
2:39:33
him and he's got a tremendous effort.
2:39:39
I. Know he was.
2:39:40
I'm not. Very tall.
2:39:41
I'm 510. The guy's 6162, but I the guy
2:39:45
has no size whatsoever. You can squeeze him like a bug.
2:39:48
I mean, seriously, he looks like a gremlin.
2:39:51
I mean, where's the picture? Did you find that picture, Fish?
2:39:53
You don't think? You don't think they're going to
2:39:55
put? No weight on what happened.
2:39:58
No, I, I just, I just think his his built is is is.
2:40:02
I don't know if he's one of the skinny, but he can still.
2:40:05
Put like 5 lbs. How much I got a?
2:40:07
5 lbs. He's going to need a lot more
2:40:09
than £5. He looks like 170 lbs.
2:40:11
So good. Wet too.
2:40:12
Crazy he. Would be he don't need to be too
2:40:14
crazy. I'm telling you man, I'm.
2:40:16
Telling you he's so overrated you're going to see, so I'm
2:40:18
telling you so overrated. One of the most overrated only
2:40:23
says is based on. Personality you haven't given.
2:40:25
No, no, no, no. I watched the play.
2:40:28
Watched him play I I think who's he been who 1st?
2:40:31
Of all, how many? What?
2:40:32
How many top and wide receivers did he play in the last two
2:40:35
years? Not many.
2:40:37
Who's he played against? Let him play against an NFL wide
2:40:40
receiver that can run a good one.
2:40:42
Like even a Devante Adams would beat him in the open field.
2:40:46
I don't think he's going to be able to stop any of the fast and
2:40:49
more talented guys. Tyree kill in the open field.
2:40:52
Is he going to be able to stop Tyree kill?
2:40:53
I don't think so. How about Jalen Waddle?
2:40:56
Is he going to be able to stop Waddle in the open, open field?
2:40:58
I don't think so. I think he doesn't understand
2:41:01
how much faster the NFL is from college football and he's going
2:41:05
to see it. Nobody does it till you get out.
2:41:07
There exactly. And that's.
2:41:08
Why? I think everybody's overrating
2:41:10
him. He is Ashton Genti.
2:41:12
That means everybody is. Overrated.
2:41:13
No No. No, no, no, no.
2:41:15
He is overrated because I've watched nobody else is playing
2:41:19
but. Here's the thing.
2:41:20
Ashton, he's the prototypical running back Ashton Genti is.
2:41:24
He can catch the ball in the backfield.
2:41:26
He could beat you North and South.
2:41:27
He could beat east and West from Alabama.
2:41:31
Came out with me. Who?
2:41:33
Richardson. Richardson.
2:41:35
Yes, Trent Richardson. There's a lot of.
2:41:37
Difference between him and. Richardson.
2:41:39
Richardson couldn't catch numbers wise I'm talking.
2:41:41
About, I'm talking about catching the ball in the.
2:41:43
Backfield and can do things and beat you on the outside.
2:41:47
I Trent. That's the problem with Trent
2:41:49
Richardson is he was more of a NS guy.
2:41:52
He had one good year in the NFL, then he got traded for what,
2:41:56
three first round draft picks was one of the biggest mistakes
2:41:59
in NFL history And and again, Indianapolis probably regrets
2:42:03
it. I'm sorry, why?
2:42:05
Was it a mistake? Because I just don't think he
2:42:07
fit. The NFL build, he didn't have a
2:42:09
lot of speed. Trent Regency coming out of.
2:42:11
Alabama. At the time I didn't like him.
2:42:13
I didn't like him. I didn't like him from Alabama.
2:42:15
I didn't like Eddie Lacy either. Fat Eddie Lacy.
2:42:18
I I didn't. I didn't think he was going to
2:42:20
last in the NFL either. Couldn't condition himself.
2:42:22
Who's your Who's your prototype? Running back who's my
2:42:25
prototypical running? Back in the NFL right now,
2:42:29
probably Kamar. What's his name again?
2:42:33
Kamara. Kamara.
2:42:34
Alvin Kamara. Alvin Kamara.
2:42:36
Yeah. Alvin Kamara is my pretty
2:42:38
typical running back who can catch the ball in the backfield
2:42:41
and beat you in the inside, in the outside.
2:42:43
You like those type of guys? I like guys that are
2:42:45
athletically. Gifted guys that can beat you in
2:42:48
so many different ways. I, I just don't, again, I look
2:42:52
at somebody like a guy like Hunter.
2:42:55
I, I don't think he's a bonafide #1 corner And I he, he's
2:42:59
definitely on a bona fide #1 or #2 as a wide receiver.
2:43:02
I, I think he's highly overrated.
2:43:05
I just think because he's a dual threat, everybody says, Oh my
2:43:07
God, like Shay Ohtani, oh, he's a good pitcher and he's, I, I
2:43:11
know we've never seen a guy get drafted as A2 dimensional type
2:43:14
of player. So everybody loves him.
2:43:16
So he's ADB. He's not a wide receiver.
2:43:18
I I agree with. I agree.
2:43:19
With you, Yeah, he's a true DB. He's a waste of time if you go
2:43:23
as a wide receiver. So I just yeah, this this, this
2:43:27
is you blew my, you blew my hat off of this one.
2:43:30
Wow 7. Years and.
2:43:32
Seven years, OK, I just want to make sure I.
2:43:33
Can get this right? Seven years.
2:43:35
He's done. He's done.
2:43:36
He's overrated. Overrated and you.
2:43:39
Think he's a gremlin. I think he looks like a gremlin,
2:43:41
yeah. Look, come on.
2:43:42
Look at that face, man. Look at the gremlin right next
2:43:44
to him. It's perfect.
2:43:46
It's perfect. Look at that.
2:43:48
No, it's not he. He looks like a.
2:43:50
Gremlin man, I, I, I'm telling you right now, you can take this
2:43:53
take to the bank. We we document this.
2:43:56
You you can document it. Stamp it on your board that
2:43:59
Errol said the guy's not going to last past seven years in the
2:44:02
NFL. He's such an overrated player.
2:44:05
I don't, dude. I get killed on social media.
2:44:07
But you want to know something? I've said a lot of crazy things
2:44:09
that came true and I'm going to tell you this right now.
2:44:12
I'm I'm telling you he's a bona fide, he's a bona fide loser in
2:44:16
the NFL. That's what he is.
2:44:18
Bona fide loser. He's a Dodd, Bonifile and
2:44:21
Jacksonville. Jackson.
2:44:22
Oh, he's going to even. He's going to fail.
2:44:25
He is going to fail in Jacksonville, Buddy, fail in
2:44:28
Jacksonville, everybody who's in that conference.
2:44:31
Jacksonville, it's the Titans. Colts.
2:44:34
Texans. Colts.
2:44:36
Texans. Yeah, in a terrible division.
2:44:38
In a terrible division, but the NFC, NFC South is.
2:44:42
Terrible Atlanta Saints Carolina.
2:44:45
I'm telling you, you watch Raj. Remember I said Titans the.
2:44:50
Titans is straight, they're good and then you got Ted since his
2:44:55
they play our team. I I just.
2:44:57
I don't like his attitude and I think players are not yeah, you
2:45:00
don't like the guy personally, but.
2:45:01
That's what I'm saying. You can't compare that.
2:45:04
I've I've watched his. Talent, I just think he's highly
2:45:06
overrated. I just don't think he he fits
2:45:09
all right. We got to go, buddy.
2:45:11
But Quentin, keep that in mind. Keep keep that in mind.
2:45:14
Keep after my mind. And and and and and after the
2:45:18
first year. After the.
2:45:20
First year 4. Games and they got 2
2:45:22
interceptions. I want to be Quentin after the
2:45:25
first year. First of all, he gets no
2:45:28
interceptions this year. None.
2:45:30
First year, 0 interceptions. Zil first one, first one zip
2:45:33
first one. Absolutely put it down.
2:45:37
Put it down 0 immediately. Whatever.
2:45:42
Zero. That's right, 0 interception.
2:45:45
Tell Arrow, just let me pop. Up I got you 0.
2:45:48
Interceptions. You marked that one first year.
2:45:51
No interceptions in his first year.
2:45:53
Remember I said that? Yeah, I'm documented.
2:45:56
Documented. Documented and you could take
2:45:59
that to the bank buddy. Anyways, we love you Quint and.
2:46:05
Absolutely. And we really.
2:46:06
Appreciate the time as always and and keep up the good work my

2:46:15
Thank you Talking bald, man. It's good talking to people who
2:46:17
actually understand the game well.
2:46:19
We really appreciate that. And you can take, just remember,
2:46:22
Q is going to remember that Hunter is going to be a dud.
2:46:25
That's all I'm going to say. It's documented the folks here.
2:46:27
The people that's in here, they saw it.
2:46:29
They don't pinned it in every week.
2:46:31
Go listen when you get a when. You go to Dunkin' Donuts.
2:46:34
Listen, when you go to Dunkin' Donuts and you're ordering those
2:46:37
little, those Munchkins with Jelly Donuts, the Munchkins that
2:46:41
have Jelly in it and you never get enough Jelly in it, that is,
2:46:45
that is Hunter right there. Travis Hunter is the Jelly that
2:46:48
never fills the doughnut. That's what he is.
2:46:51
All right. So I remember that he's he's the
2:46:54
Krispy Kreme, the Boston cream, and he likes to play with
2:46:58
himself too. I got this put on my calendar.
2:47:01
1st I might watch. I'm going to watch more Jets in
2:47:03
big games than ever. Travis Hunter, Interception
2:47:08
against. The Jets confirmed.
2:47:10
Oh boy. We don't leave.
2:47:12
Please don't let it be versus in.
2:47:16
Jail. Oh my gosh.
2:47:17
I'm going to be so old man. It's not happening.
2:47:20
It's not happening. Don't worry.
2:47:22
Quinton. Thank you for joining us, bud.
2:47:24
Oh God, thank you guys. Man, thanks too, Quinton.
2:47:27
Couples. Ladies and gentlemen, I love
2:47:30
Quinton and and we have a lot of fun with him, but I'm going to
2:47:33
tell you this right now, Travis Hunter is a dud.
2:47:36
He's a piece of you know what. But anyways, let's go for.
2:47:40
Let's go for it. Let's parlay.
2:47:56
Hopefully you have no. Bets on this Knick game because
2:47:59
it makes me sick to my stomach. Are you ready, Chaz?
2:48:04
I am, but I got. It I got to ask you a question.
2:48:07
How long have we been talking? A long time since 20. 20. 2020,
2:48:11
I think. Yeah, that Jelly.
2:48:14
That Jelly comment you just made was one of the most beautiful
2:48:17
things you've ever said. It's summed it up perfectly.
2:48:19
Thank you. I'm not sure if that's going to
2:48:20
be true with him, but I understood the concept and it
2:48:24
was a perfectly said thank you. Thank you.
2:48:26
He is. He is like one of those
2:48:28
munchkins that never have enough Jelly.
2:48:30
That's what he is. He's not going to have enough
2:48:32
tread on his feet to be able to play in the NFL longer than
2:48:36
seven years, guys. All right, You ready, Chaz?
2:48:41
Yeah, well, you know, it's. It's Derby Day, all right.
2:48:44
Give it to me. Give it it in.
2:48:46
See, I typed it in Derby Day. Go ahead, give us your number
2:48:51
one. Yeah, I'm not sure how.
2:48:54
We're going to handle it for the ponies though, so here's what I
2:48:57
was thinking. I got stuck at the Discount Tire
2:49:01
for four hours today. My tire went out on the way to
2:49:04
pick up the racing form. So I had the racing form and in
2:49:07
a lobby of a tire shop. So I went through all for
2:49:11
Friday. So why don't I talk about some
2:49:13
Friday horses? So I'll give up.
2:49:15
I'll give up four different races all.
2:49:18
Righty, does that work for you guys?
2:49:21
Oh yeah. Give it to us.
2:49:22
Give. Us your your 4.
2:49:24
All right, give us your 4 SO. We are now.
2:49:29
This is everything's Churchill Downs.
2:49:31
It starts really early. It's 7:00 out here.
2:49:33
The book opens. They normally open at 10 and
2:49:37
this is the sixth race, so it's 1:42 Eastern Time.
2:49:41
This is a Churchill down at Aleshiba Stakes.
2:49:44
Aleshiba was a great horse and it's a great two.
2:49:48
It's 3/4 of the $1,000,000. So this is a lot of money if you
2:49:51
win this, and we got two horses in here that are so even that
2:49:55
we're just going to assume that they're the best 2 and they're
2:49:58
going to go all the way and we're going to do a 24 exacta
2:50:01
box. So it doesn't matter how much
2:50:03
you want. Normally I'll do $10.00, so it's
2:50:05
a $20 bet, but a 24 exacta box In the sixth race, again, it's
2:50:10
142 at Churchill Down and this is Kentucky Oaks day tomorrow.
2:50:19
That's number one, all right. Give us we got, give us your
2:50:21
whole. Thing.
2:50:22
Give us your whole thing, OK? So there's two number three,
2:50:26
number four. I go next I.
2:50:28
I went to the next race I went to is the ninth race, the ninth
2:50:33
race to Churchill Downs. It's at 1:07, it's in 107 and we
2:50:40
have the 10 and the 12. Same exact thing.
2:50:44
We're doing the same exact thing sometimes.
2:50:46
So the way I handicap is I give credit for and I'll talk about
2:50:49
it with the 2 Derby plays. I'm going to give up the I give
2:50:53
out. I look at everything and whoever
2:50:55
has the best overall, everything I go with.
2:50:58
And these horses are two seconds faster than everybody else on
2:51:01
here. I'm assuming at the end there's
2:51:03
going to be 1-2. They're the favorite.
2:51:05
So you got it. If the exact, you can't really
2:51:07
bet them to win. So we're going to go 1011, same
2:51:10
thing. So this is the ninth race.
2:51:12
This is 107 tomorrow. No, there would be for you guys
2:51:16
three O 7, three O 7 tomorrow, the old man rhythm.
2:51:21
So. That's that's.
2:51:22
That's Friday. So here's what I do.
2:51:24
I go and I get my tickets in the morning and then I hold on to
2:51:27
them. I don't cash them.
2:51:28
If I cash tomorrow, I'm waiting because we go Saturday every
2:51:31
year and we have a, we have a raging party.
2:51:34
And so I'll get all my bets in before the the, the, the gummies
2:51:39
kick in because otherwise I one time we went up to Santa Anita
2:51:42
for the. Breeders' Cup and.
2:51:45
I was so high I never got my bed in and I hit the pic floor.
2:51:48
I was really pissed. Okay so they had a scratch
2:51:51
today. Do you guys follow that on your
2:51:53
show? Yeah.
2:51:56
So the horse that got. In is a good horse.
2:51:58
He's a little scary. I tossed him, so I'm not sure
2:52:01
how I'm going to deal with it, but I I go, I look at who has
2:52:05
the fastest 6 for a long time, who has the fastest mile time,
2:52:09
who has the fastest mile and a 16th time and who has the
2:52:12
fastest mile and an eighth time because those are all the prep
2:52:15
races. Then I look for who's closing
2:52:17
because in the Derby you saw last year, the horses that are
2:52:20
coming are winning. And then I go quality one,
2:52:23
quality 2. So quality is are you racing
2:52:25
against good horses? Quality 2 is are you racing
2:52:28
against the best horses? And finally, I don't know if you
2:52:32
know Andy Buyer, but he came up with this number a while ago and
2:52:35
it works. So I use it and that's how I
2:52:37
come up with the winner. But I give everything points for
2:52:40
that whole system. And so we are betting two
2:52:42
horses, we are betting the eight who is the favorite and we are
2:52:47
betting the 18. The 18 is not the favorite.
2:52:51
I don't even know the odds on the 18.
2:52:53
But we got journalism and sovereignty.
2:52:55
Now journalism will be the favorite.
2:52:57
The way we bet on Derby day guys as we go for super factors and
2:53:02
trifectas. So we don't really care if the
2:53:05
favorites in there. We just need the favorite to
2:53:07
come in second. So I'm betting them both in an
2:53:12
exacta, but I will have 18 to win because 18 won't be a
2:53:16
favorite. If eighteen wins and eight comes
2:53:20
in second, it will be for me a very good Derby day, all right.
2:53:25
Is that all you're for? Is that four of them?
2:53:28
That's my, that's oh. No, I got one more the race
2:53:31
after this is the race after the this.
2:53:36
I forgot about this one. This is also Friday.
2:53:39
My bad. It's the horse is called
2:53:42
Resilience. I don't know if that's how you
2:53:45
pronounce it. I forgot about that one because
2:53:48
he runs after the feature. All right, so the features the
2:53:51
Oaks and I'm not giving out the Oaks because it's AI think it's
2:53:54
a one horse race and it's not going to pay anything.
2:53:57
But this is the 12th race Churchill down 627 Eastern Time.
2:54:01
So what games will be going on at 6:27 tomorrow at night?
2:54:07
Probably some baseball. Probably.
2:54:08
Baseball. And.
2:54:09
And getting ready for the some of the basketball games.
2:54:12
Wow. So the.
2:54:13
The. Playoffs started with 7:00
2:54:15
usually. Yeah, yeah.
2:54:16
The basketball game, yes. So, yeah, so.
2:54:19
That'd be cool. And catch that ticket and then
2:54:21
you can bet it on basketball. Just keep betting, right?
2:54:23
So it's #7 resilience. That is in tomorrow's 12th race
2:54:31
to Churchill, down 627 Eastern. I apologize because that one is
2:54:34
on my list. I'm betting that without even
2:54:37
handicapping the race, I did not handicap that race.
2:54:40
That's one of my list horses. I had Honor Marie on the 30th,
2:54:43
which I think was yesterday. 5 to 1 horse, $13 to win.
2:54:48
So God bless you guys. Derby day, Chaz.
2:54:51
Thank you bud. We really appreciate you as
2:54:54
always, and we'll talk to you next week.
2:54:56
I hope you gave out some winners man.
2:54:57
I hope you gave out some winners too.
2:55:00
Jazz from obviously our very own let's parlay.
2:55:04
So there you go. It's been an interesting show so
2:55:07
far. We had Quinton couples.
2:55:09
He took over the conversation and I gave it to him.
2:55:12
I gave him the old gremlin smack around.
2:55:15
As I've said this once and I'll say it again, seven years is as
2:55:20
long as Travis Hunter is going to be in the NFL.
2:55:23
He's not going to last that long in the NFLI think he's an
2:55:26
overrated. Do you think he's going to be
2:55:28
like 1 of? Those guys who like maybe maybe
2:55:31
he's not going to have bad stats, but maybe he's one of
2:55:34
those guys on a that has puts up stats, but it's always on a bad
2:55:38
team, I think. I think.
2:55:41
That a lot of. Teams are not going to be able
2:55:43
to deal with his personality and I think a lot of people are
2:55:46
going to look at him. This isn't the Bill Belichick
2:55:49
time where Bill Belichick is going to be running a team in
2:55:52
the NFL. There are other teams and and
2:55:55
other players that obviously know how to control their
2:55:58
personalities. I just like Shador.
2:56:00
I don't think Shador is going to last that long.
2:56:02
I don't believe Travis Hunter is going to last a long time.
2:56:05
He thinks, and I've heard enough from Deon Sanders saying that
2:56:08
this guy is going to be the greatest, one of the greatest
2:56:10
corners we've ever seen. He's not Dion, he's not Revis,
2:56:14
he's not Woodson. I think he's highly overrated.
2:56:17
He wasn't even the best corner in the class.
2:56:19
He wasn't the best wide receiver in the class and this guy was
2:56:22
the number two pick in all of the draft.
2:56:26
I think it's ridiculous and say he's the most athletic.
2:56:29
Come on, guys. We've seen a lot of great
2:56:31
athletic players come out of the draft and never amounted and
2:56:34
never amount to anything. I just don't think Travis Hunter
2:56:38
is as good as everybody says he is.
2:56:39
That's all I'm going to say. Anyways, we got another segment,
2:56:42
as we call this Inside baseball. Now let's go deep, deep.
2:56:47
Inside what I am excited this is.
2:56:51
Inside. Baseball.
2:56:53
All right, ladies. And gentlemen, we do this every
2:56:56
single week. We've got the goodster, we got
2:56:59
the chamber and we got the Marks and off, as we call this, inside
2:57:04
baseball. And Mr. Fish Fishman is going to
2:57:07
give us and we have Speedy. He's going to give us some
2:57:10
stories and we're going to argue with them.
2:57:13
All right, so we got a. Handful of stories and one
2:57:15
highlight. We'll end with the highlight.
2:57:17
That's going to be a new thing. So we're going to start off with
2:57:19
the Yanks going with this three home run barrage in a row, four
2:57:24
and five batters actually. But three home runs in a row to
2:57:27
start a game against the Orioles for the second time in a season.
2:57:31
That's the first time that's ever been done twice in a season
2:57:35
in Major League Baseball history.
2:57:37
Also, they did it 31 days apart, exactly one month apart this
2:57:41
year, which makes it even more incredible.
2:57:43
Part of that mix both times. Aaron Judge Boys 427 Batting
2:57:47
average 10 home runs, 32 RBIs. WRC plus 262 The full season
2:57:57
record is 244 by Barry Bonds when he was on the juice.
2:58:04
Take. What do you think about?
2:58:05
This type of power from Judge and that crazy record.
2:58:12
I mean, this is what you. Expect.
2:58:14
This is what you expect from somebody like him.
2:58:16
He's one of the best players on the planet.
2:58:18
He's a captain for Team USA for a reason.
2:58:21
He's a captain of the Yankees. I mean, we expect nothing less
2:58:24
from the most storied franchise in sports history.
2:58:27
So, I mean, not surprising. Three home runs in a row, the
2:58:32
lead off the game twice, you know, one month apart.
2:58:35
It's pretty awesome. They are the.
2:58:38
Bronx Bombers. Did they do it both times in New
2:58:41
York? No, this was in.
2:58:45
Baltimore. OK, Baltimore is a band box.
2:58:47
As well so New York's band box, Baltimore's band box pretty much
2:58:51
everywhere in the AL ES band box so not surprising they're built
2:58:55
for power let's just see if they can sustain that throughout the
2:58:58
whole season yeah I mean it's. Judge.
2:59:02
Doing what he's done. And Fish and I talked about this
2:59:05
earlier too. He had that stat and then you
2:59:07
go, you go F WAR. The highest ever was Babe Ruth
2:59:11
at 14.3. Judges projected at 16.7.
2:59:16
The finish with that point, like literally like those numbers are
2:59:19
stupid. In the last 162 games, he's
2:59:23
averaging 369 with 62 homers, like 143 RBIs.
2:59:27
And you know, he he doesn't, he doesn't slow down.
2:59:31
He continues to get better and he gets more consistent.
2:59:35
I think him obviously moving back to right field has has a
2:59:38
lot to do with it in the in the comfortability of what he does.
2:59:41
And it's just, it's funny how when this happened early in the
2:59:49
air, it was all the torpedo bats.
2:59:50
We didn't hear one conversation about the torpedo bats when this
2:59:52
happened, right? And so it's like, oh, was.
2:59:56
It really the bat or are they just that good?
2:59:58
But goody, you make a great point.
3:00:01
Is it, is it sustainable and. You've got certain guys that you
3:00:06
know, have stepped up everybody. He was like, oh, Goldie's washed
3:00:09
up. He's the only other guy that's
3:00:11
really hitting. You know, you got Jazz and your
3:00:14
favorite player, Errol, that has some dismal at that.
3:00:18
By the way, I. Told everybody that Paul
3:00:20
Goldschmidt was going to have a big season.
3:00:23
I I said it. And by the way, Oh no, I agreed
3:00:26
with. You.
3:00:26
That's why I said, that's why I said I wanted to get Arenado
3:00:28
too. Yes.
3:00:29
And I think they still can't. Get it, Nolan Arenado.
3:00:31
I still think they at the trade down line they can absolutely
3:00:34
get yeah. I I.
3:00:36
Could see Saint Louis trading, I could see it happening.
3:00:39
I think it's been been pretty impressive what Aaron Judge is
3:00:43
doing right now. I it, I don't think he's going
3:00:45
to hit 400 all season long, but the last player to do this, you
3:00:50
know, the way he is doing it right now, I, I don't even
3:00:53
remember Miguel Cabrera, I think was the last person hitting 430
3:00:57
games in a season. I, it's been a long time since
3:00:59
we've seen this. It's pretty damn impressive.
3:01:02
And, and, and again, Aaron Judge has an opportunity right now.
3:01:06
And I mean, me and Jabba have gone back and forth.
3:01:08
Who's the best player in the MLBI?
3:01:11
Don't think it's an argument anymore.
3:01:12
The best hitter in baseball right now is Aaron Judge.
3:01:15
Oh, no. And, and I think he's the best
3:01:17
player in baseball right now. I don't think you can argue.
3:01:19
And by the way, where's that reporter that wrote that story a
3:01:22
couple of weeks ago and said that Aaron Judge is the 4th best
3:01:25
player in the league? I don't hear him anymore.
3:01:27
Where is he at? Because right now Aaron Judge is
3:01:31
doing things we've never seen a player do so it and even Barry
3:01:34
Bonds hasn't done it as good and as well as this.
3:01:38
Well, you can. You can say to.
3:01:39
From thereporterbutmlb.com did a poll the players and he was #3.
3:01:46
That's interesting. That's.
3:01:47
Interesting that's that's a. Player's Poll well.
3:01:51
That's a lot of jealousy. From a lot of players, that
3:01:54
dude's hitting 427, which by itself, before you talk about
3:01:58
anything else for over a month, to hit 427 is pretty wild.
3:02:05
Then to do it with the power he's doing it, the defense he's
3:02:07
playing and just the leader, not to mention the leadership of the
3:02:11
team. That's not part of these stats
3:02:13
that are legendary. His leadership, which is what is
3:02:17
even more special about him. This is the heart and soul of
3:02:21
the franchise. Not because he's so good,
3:02:23
because of all of the things he does while being so good.
3:02:26
Not every great player does those things.
3:02:29
You know, it's really special. It goes from the little things
3:02:32
to like having the jukebox, like you're in charge of the the
3:02:35
music in the clubhouse to set the tone.
3:02:38
You know, I'm an arrow as a DJ. Swish alicious as.
3:02:42
We called him, he loves to control the the jukebox over
3:02:46
there and I'm sure Jabba knows all about that.
3:02:48
Nick Swisher love to play his crazy music, but that's what I
3:02:51
heard. But I agree with you.
3:02:53
I think it's incredible what he's doing.
3:02:55
I think he's special. And anybody that's going to
3:02:58
doubt Aaron Judge and what he's done over the last three years,
3:03:01
go look at his numbers. Slug in percentage number one
3:03:03
home runs, number one RBI #1 war #1 every single practically
3:03:09
offensive statistic. He's blowing everybody out of
3:03:12
the water. And right now he's not human.
3:03:14
This is like alien is a alien life form that doesn't belong in
3:03:18
the major leagues. It's unbelievable what this man
3:03:22
is doing right now. It's incredible.
3:03:24
And Yep. And by the way, he is doing it
3:03:26
in other stadiums too. It's not just Yankee Stadium.
3:03:29
His numbers in other stadiums right now is better than Yankee
3:03:32
Stadium. His his batting average and he's
3:03:35
hitting more outside of Yankee Stadium when it then he's doing
3:03:38
in Yankee Stadium. It's pretty incredible, yeah.
3:03:42
Yeah, so let's. Move on to the next story.
3:03:44
The opposite of offense is what Jacob degrom has had his entire
3:03:48
career. You know as a Mets fan, speedy.
3:03:51
You know that he won a Cy Young in a year that it seems like
3:03:56
they never scored a run for him. Well, he won his first game of
3:03:59
the season the other day. Pitching for Texas was his first
3:04:03
win since 2023. He had 9 total runs and run
3:04:08
support in his first five games before this win.
3:04:12
He has a 273 ERAA, 100 WHIP and a 140 ERA plus, which means he's
3:04:20
having a pretty good start to the season, guys.
3:04:23
Why can't? This guy get run support.
3:04:26
Did people hate him or something?
3:04:29
He's one of the best. Pitchers ever that.
3:04:31
Nobody wants to score runs and get him wins.
3:04:33
He's going to have. I don't know what his total wins
3:04:36
in his career are. Speedy, maybe you could find
3:04:38
that real quick, but it's probably about 30 less than it
3:04:41
should be. He's automatically a Hall.
3:04:43
Of Famer. He's automatically a Hall of
3:04:46
Famer for what he's done when he is in the game.
3:04:49
I don't think there's any pitcher we've seen anything like
3:04:51
him. He's been pretty incredible and
3:04:54
his best pitch is a change up. Think about it, his best pitch
3:04:59
is his change up and he throws also 100 mph when he wants to.
3:05:03
I mean, it's incredible. He's 85 and 50.
3:05:06
Eight. Yeah, but.
3:05:09
And he still. So what do you think?
3:05:10
Probably should be. Over 100 wins by now for sure.
3:05:12
150 wins. If he could stay healthy, if he
3:05:16
could have stayed healthy. And remember, he was drafted as
3:05:18
a shortstop. He wasn't even drafted as a
3:05:21
pitcher. So that's that's even more
3:05:23
incredible about the story behind the whole Jacob degrom
3:05:26
and and look at the pictures he's played with you talking
3:05:29
about look at Zach Wheeler, look at his success over here.
3:05:32
Now in Philadelphia. They had him, they have Noah
3:05:35
Syndergaard at one point everybody thought Noah
3:05:37
Syndergaard was one of the best. That what was his nickname?
3:05:40
A Thor. That's what they called him.
3:05:42
And then they had the Black Knight over there.
3:05:45
That was and and Yep, Matt Harvey and they had Matt.
3:05:49
You're talking about one of the best young pitching squads in
3:05:51
all the baseball. And the two guys that have stood
3:05:54
out from all the rest is who? Jacob the Grom and Zach Wheeler.
3:05:58
It's pretty incredible, yeah. I just want to see him healthy.
3:06:04
I mean, it's literally been six years since he's thrown 200
3:06:07
innings and we all know the capability he has and the arm
3:06:11
that he has. And it's just, it sucks because
3:06:15
sometimes it's just plagues people and you know, as as a
3:06:18
grind of what it is and especially pitching at this
3:06:21
level, it it's it sucks because you want to see those guys like
3:06:26
that's, you know that Jacob degrom is Paul Skeens back then
3:06:30
because even if you weren't a Mets fan, you wanted to watch
3:06:33
him pitch and. That's exactly what he.
3:06:36
And and still he still has the stuff.
3:06:38
It's just if he can stay healthy and you know, it's I'm I'm happy
3:06:42
for him because I I know being hurt and goody you know this as
3:06:45
well. How much of A grind it is to,
3:06:47
you know, to rehab and then see your guys do well or not do well
3:06:50
and see them get back. And you know, you've got to
3:06:53
wait, Trust the process. And every time you trust the
3:06:55
process, he gets hurt again. And I know it can be frustrating
3:06:59
and it can beat you up mentally, But, you know, I'm just happy
3:07:02
for him that he's continuing to to grind it out and, and it was
3:07:05
happy to see him get a win and go do what he does and, and do
3:07:09
best. And and he's still, when
3:07:11
healthy, is still one of the top five best pitchers in the game.
3:07:15
Yeah, there's no question the stuff.
3:07:17
Is there, you know, the stuff is stuff is clearly there.
3:07:20
He's a Cy Young candidate. Cy Young stuff front of the
3:07:24
front of the line starter. You know, like you said, the
3:07:28
injury bug plagued him for a little while, but he's back.
3:07:31
He's pitching well as far as run support.
3:07:33
That's just sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles.
3:07:36
You know, it just happens to land on every fifth day and he
3:07:39
happens to be starting, you know, but I have a feeling the
3:07:43
offense will will turn around and he'll get some run support.
3:07:46
I mean, he's he certainly has pitched to he shouldn't be, you
3:07:49
know, whatever 3 and O how many games he's thrown, He should
3:07:52
have won them all. I just was looking at his
3:07:54
thoughts. So, yeah, to get back on the
3:07:57
mound is the first thing that you you know, the the first big
3:08:01
hill that you need to to climb when coming back from injury.
3:08:04
And now it's just being able to go out, build innings, build
3:08:07
your pitch count up, continue to go deep in the game, save your
3:08:10
bullpen. Eventually, yeah, the runs will
3:08:12
start to click for him. And, you know, I wouldn't be
3:08:15
surprised if he's an All Star and in contention for AL Sai
3:08:18
Young. And so, you know, this year or
3:08:20
next. I think he's.
3:08:23
You know, one of the most special players I've seen pitch
3:08:27
as an adult. He's he's up there.
3:08:29
So the next one we got is the injury report.
3:08:31
Guys, I just want to pull that. So you take a look at it.
3:08:34
I wanted. To start off with Logan Gilbert,
3:08:37
who has the, you know, the flexor strain.
3:08:40
We all know what that means. Yep, the.
3:08:42
Flexor strain. The the terminology.
3:08:46
Of. Old TJ is coming down the Pike
3:08:49
any times, anytime now for Logan Gilbert, it's first time he's
3:08:52
ever been on the IO on his career ace of the Seattle
3:08:56
Mariners boys. What does he mean to that team?
3:09:02
He's huge, I mean. Obviously being a young kid and
3:09:06
having. That and.
3:09:07
That's, you know, like Goody and I have talked about when we
3:09:10
talked about injuries early in the year and you know, they give
3:09:13
you these words to to cover up what's going to come on.
3:09:16
And hopefully it's not it hopefully, you know, it's it's
3:09:19
not as bad as it is, but that's usually what ends up happening
3:09:23
at some point. Maybe he gets through it a
3:09:25
little bit, but at some point it's going to happen.
3:09:29
And, you know, just with how young those guys are there, I
3:09:34
love I love watching Seattle. And, you know, it's the young
3:09:37
talent that they have. They don't get talked about a
3:09:40
lot just because they're so far away and you don't see them a
3:09:43
lot on TV. So if you don't know the game
3:09:45
and if you don't watch it or pay attention, some of these names
3:09:49
don't go, you know, recognize as much as they should.
3:09:52
Like, you know, Buster Posey comes to an example.
3:09:55
Like obviously being on the West Coast, you didn't get to watch
3:09:57
them that much. And I think there's, there's a
3:10:00
lot of that that happened where you see misguided talent that is
3:10:04
really, really good, but you just don't put eyes on the
3:10:06
product sometimes. And I think it's a huge loss.
3:10:10
It's not going to be a 15 day, I can tell you that much.
3:10:13
It's going to be longer than that.
3:10:15
Hopefully it's it doesn't turn into TJ.
3:10:18
But when it comes down to that with him, you know, anchoring
3:10:21
that rotation and and being a young arm and you know, you
3:10:26
know, having that experience of success and and winning and and
3:10:31
being that guy, it just it stinks a guy like that.
3:10:34
Obviously talking about Jacob degrom in that aspect where you
3:10:37
don't want it to linger and it keep, you know, manifesting into
3:10:41
into more stuff. So you just wish him the best at
3:10:43
this point. Yeah, I mean, you're getting a.
3:10:46
Guy who last year through 208 innings the year before 190
3:10:51
innings the year before that 185 innings.
3:10:53
So you're, you're losing a bulk of your you know your your
3:10:57
innings and you're going to have to rely on the next man up
3:11:00
mentality and whether we don't know who, I don't know exactly
3:11:03
who that's going to be, but you're.
3:11:06
Losing a front. End top of the, you know, top of
3:11:08
the rotation guy and I'm sure you're going to lose him for a
3:11:13
while here because flexor strain is it's a precursor for Tommy
3:11:18
John. And it doesn't matter how many
3:11:20
times you rehab it or how long you stay on that.
3:11:22
You only have so many throws in your arm before it goes.
3:11:25
And once it goes, it's a minimum of a year.
3:11:29
You know, some guys would like to push it and come back in 11
3:11:31
months, but you're looking at a minimum of a year.
3:11:34
So at this point, you know, George Kirby's on the IL, you
3:11:37
have Logan Gilbert on the IL, you have Amerson Hancock who's
3:11:41
up. I don't really haven't really
3:11:42
watched too much of him. I know Brian Wu's nasty.
3:11:45
I always like Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo.
3:11:47
So I'm really going to have to anchor down and we'll see what
3:11:50
happens with the with those guys.
3:11:52
I'll be seeing them in August. So looking forward.
3:11:57
To hopefully seeing. Logan Gilbert pitch so just
3:12:00
going through some of. The other injuries wanted to get
3:12:02
Speedy in on this one a little bit on the Mets bullpen woes.
3:12:08
So Minter has I believe it's a lat or something like that, like
3:12:12
very similar to what Louise Heal has.
3:12:15
So he's going to be done for looks like 2 to three months
3:12:17
type of a situation. And I thought it might be
3:12:21
longer. And then another reliever Young
3:12:24
going down. You have a lot of stress on this
3:12:27
bullpen early in the season, Speedy.
3:12:30
How do you how do you think you're going to be able to hold
3:12:32
up with this kind of a mash? Unit going on.
3:12:35
Here, Yeah, pitching versatility is.
3:12:36
Going to be the big key for the Mets, because the Mets bullpen
3:12:39
did this last year as well. And they came on strong in the
3:12:42
second-half, but they started off hot and then they went cold
3:12:45
and they went hot again. And especially in this kind of
3:12:47
year where you're having the starting staff that's pitched
3:12:51
very well so far, you don't want to have to like get it worn down
3:12:54
by having to have them pitch in unconventional roles.
3:12:56
Now, Young is not like one of their prize relievers, but he's
3:13:00
still a lefty. That's relevant to this team and
3:13:05
Minter has been fantastic. He's been probably the best one
3:13:08
and even more consistent than Diaz has been so far to start
3:13:11
the year. So it'll be interesting to see
3:13:13
how like the hybrids turn out to because Peterson's one of those
3:13:18
guys. McGill is one of those guys.
3:13:20
We'll see when Brooks Raley comes back.
3:13:21
They just resigned him back. He had Tommy John surgery.
3:13:23
He'll probably need another month though.
3:13:26
So I I'm curious to see though, because they don't want to
3:13:29
obviously go off of what's hot right now, which is they're
3:13:32
starting pitching, but they still have to manage it
3:13:34
accordingly and not like get overconfident one way,
3:13:36
especially when they start facing some better teams like
3:13:39
they have dropping the last two to the Diamondbacks who were a
3:13:41
pretty good team, just feels. Like fool's gold.
3:13:44
To me, the the Mets hot start because of this pitching staff,
3:13:48
like they don't have guys that have gone a lot of innings.
3:13:50
You were just talking about Logan Gilbert, you know, 200
3:13:53
inning guy. Everyone you just mentioned, I
3:13:55
don't know if they've ever been over 150.
3:13:58
So it's it's if that pen is going down, it might turn very
3:14:03
quickly unless the offense can pick up, which you know, it
3:14:06
didn't today, except for soda Glasnow in the most not
3:14:10
surprising injury Errol of the of the year.
3:14:14
He has the exact same injury as Blake Snell is what they're
3:14:18
saying, which is another, you know, shoulder type injury that
3:14:22
Snell suffered a set back trying to rehab from.
3:14:26
The Dodgers have a little been a little bit underwhelming in
3:14:29
their beginning of their repeat campaign here.
3:14:32
There's nothing. Underwhelming they're they're
3:14:34
still the second best team right now in the major leagues.
3:14:38
If you look at that record what their one game behind the Mets.
3:14:41
I I don't I think the dodgers will eventually pull away in the
3:14:44
National League. They're still very talented
3:14:46
losing glass now and even Snell, it's not going to make a
3:14:49
difference. They got a tremendous amount of
3:14:51
pitching and they haven't even had Otani on the mound yet.
3:14:54
So I'm sure they're they're going to be fine.
3:14:57
And especially what their bullpen provides.
3:14:59
They've added so much depth in so many different ways.
3:15:02
They get an unbelievable lineup. Eventually everything's going to
3:15:05
click for this team and they're going to pull away in the
3:15:07
National League. I don't think losing Glass now
3:15:10
or even Snell is going to make a difference because they have a
3:15:13
tremendous amount of you know, depth in their on their roster
3:15:18
right now and even in their farm system, one of the best farm
3:15:21
systems in all of baseball. So.
3:15:24
I think I would like to. I agree with you.
3:15:26
I was just trying to make a point about that team and not
3:15:30
being as hot as most people thought, but still obviously
3:15:33
very good hot. They have the second best.
3:15:35
Record in baseball, they're not enough.
3:15:38
I'm just saying like. With the with their Ross, with
3:15:41
much their spending, yeah, I know you know, and what everyone
3:15:44
thought, you know, we thought this was going to be like 1927
3:15:47
Yankees, dude, they're going to win.
3:15:48
They're. Going to win over 105 games this
3:15:51
year. They're going to win like 1415
3:15:53
games in a row. That's that's the type.
3:15:55
Again, they got to get healthy, but when?
3:15:57
They do. You mentioned Otani, but for me,
3:16:00
I, I don't think he's anywhere near what he used to be.
3:16:03
But Clayton Kershaw is going to be back in a month.
3:16:06
And I, that's my favorite pitcher that I have ever watched
3:16:10
pitch like that guy that's not a Yankee.
3:16:13
Like I just love watching that guy throw a base shell of
3:16:16
himself. Shell of himself I'm sure he is.
3:16:19
But maybe they can put bring him, maybe he ends up having
3:16:21
some cool like late relief role. Why isn't anybody calling?
3:16:25
Trevor Bauer up. How about that?
3:16:27
I think I think you know why. I understand that, but.
3:16:30
Trevor Bauer right now is as good at any pitcher right now in
3:16:34
baseball and the fact is there are teams that are desperately
3:16:38
looking for pitching, starting pitching.
3:16:41
Reach out to his agent and and see if goodies arms live.
3:16:45
I'll start tomorrow. There you go.
3:16:47
You can bring in Goody, you can bring in we have.
3:16:49
Shane Green, He's lost our. Rehab and I just watched him.
3:16:51
I was throwing with him. The other day we had him on the
3:16:53
show you. Know.
3:16:54
A month or so ago he looks great.
3:16:56
Man, so really looks good so. Is he a starter or is he a
3:17:00
bullpen guy? He's a pen guy, but he's done
3:17:04
both in his career. So, you know, I'm just.
3:17:07
Saying he's. There as well.
3:17:09
There's a lot of pictures out there, but we're going to start
3:17:11
doing this. Play of the Week and without a
3:17:14
doubt, the play happens with the.
3:17:18
Blue Jays. This is Dalton Bar Show falling
3:17:20
down. And still.
3:17:22
Finding a way. To catch that ball.
3:17:25
Look at this play. This is one of the craziest
3:17:28
catches I've ever seen in my life.
3:17:29
Falls down somehow, keeps his eyes on the ball the whole time.
3:17:33
And. Backhands it Former catcher,
3:17:36
Gold Glove outfielder, now Dalton VAR show guys.
3:17:40
You ever seen anything like that?
3:17:42
No, no, I mean no. And they say they say baseball
3:17:47
players aren't athletes. That's an athletic play.
3:17:50
Stop. Here he goes.
3:17:52
There he goes. He's trying to take wait, wait,
3:17:54
wait. You don't think baseball players
3:17:56
are athletes? What I said was if you were to
3:17:58
ask me right now, who is the? Least athletic of the sports,
3:18:02
it's baseball players. I say it's ridiculous.
3:18:05
That's the most stupidest. Comment You could have really
3:18:07
why? Why is that?
3:18:08
Why is that? Because if you put a baseball
3:18:10
player in any other sport, we can compete.
3:18:12
If you put a really really. You could have them throw so
3:18:16
you're. Telling me that you are more
3:18:18
athletic. Than a LeBron James, you're
3:18:20
going to tell me you could get on a basketball court and I'll
3:18:24
play LeBron James basketball from a three-point line but.
3:18:26
LeBron James cannot throw 90 miles an hour.
3:18:29
Well, why does he have to? He doesn't have to do that.
3:18:32
I'm telling you I'm. Telling you, I bet you can run.
3:18:33
Faster than you I'm. Telling you, I bet you he can
3:18:36
run faster than you. Yeah, but that.
3:18:38
But baseball? 'S different.
3:18:40
That's technique. That's technique.
3:18:42
But basketball? Come on.
3:18:44
Come. On you're going to tell me that
3:18:46
baseball players are more athletic than basketball
3:18:49
players? This is this is so dumb.
3:18:51
That was great. It's not basketball player
3:18:53
couldn't. Cut it on.
3:18:54
A baseball field, it's a different.
3:18:56
Sport, you're going to tell. All right, there are there are
3:18:59
guys. That are playing baseball right
3:19:01
now that can. Step up the plate and they're
3:19:02
almost £300. OK.
3:19:04
You think they could do that? On a basketball court, You think
3:19:07
a £300 fatso can go up and down a basketball court?
3:19:11
Come on, I'm arrow. I'm saying that we can still
3:19:15
compete, we can shoot the basketball, we can dribble the
3:19:18
basketball, but it's easy. That's fundamental.
3:19:22
That's not not a problem when you take an athlete.
3:19:25
Look at all the NFL draft picks that come out and try and take
3:19:28
BP. They look terrible.
3:19:30
Aside from maybe I never said baseball players aren't
3:19:33
athletic, Nick, All I'm saying the least athletic out of the
3:19:37
four top sports, yes. Hockey players are more
3:19:39
athletic, no? Hockey players are more
3:19:42
athletic, basketball players are more athletic, and football
3:19:44
players are very athletic too. So I'm sorry.
3:19:48
I'm sorry. I think it's a terrible take.
3:19:51
I disagree with you. Disagree with you.
3:19:53
I didn't agree with you. OK, there we go.
3:19:55
I may have to disagree to disagree.
3:19:59
All right. Now.
3:20:01
I want to finish off last. Week or last time we did.
3:20:04
His name was two weeks ago was the All Hot Star team.
3:20:07
Well, we have the. Old worst start, I guess.
3:20:09
The old cold. Start team starting off with
3:20:11
Yanni or Diaz, Houston. These are all the lowest WRC
3:20:14
pluses at each position in the league.
3:20:17
Andrew Vaughn for the White Sox has been a disaster.
3:20:20
The worst player in the league currently is Michael Massey for
3:20:23
the Kansas City Royals second baseman with a negative .9 WAR
3:20:27
and an 11 WRC plus 11. I didn't even know if you can do
3:20:32
that. Joey Ortiz for Milwaukee is a
3:20:36
shortstop. You see that shortstop position?
3:20:38
Former All Star Ryan McMahon has had one of the worst starts this
3:20:42
season. Mets legend Tommy Pham, Michael
3:20:46
Harris the second. Wasn't he rookie of the year a
3:20:49
few years ago for the Braves? He was in the top three or he
3:20:52
was in the top three, but was I think it was an All Star once as
3:20:55
well. Had a hot first half of the
3:20:56
season. Jordan Walker was a top
3:20:59
prospect. Josh Bell.
3:21:01
Routinely on these lists. Just keeps collecting checks.
3:21:04
Josh Bell is still in the major leagues.
3:21:06
Bowed in Francis, a starter for the Blue Jays.
3:21:10
But look at these next two starters by Bybee has the.
3:21:14
Second lowest has like a negative. .6 war and then I
3:21:18
there's a bunch of guys kind of tied, but the name that I that
3:21:21
jumped out was Corbin. Burns is.
3:21:23
Having a really bad start to the year I put a couple of closers
3:21:27
on there the worst two people that had saves on the list and
3:21:32
the first one was a pretty good closer Brazil Iglesias for the
3:21:36
Braves. He's has like a negative
3:21:39
something war as well and Jordan Romano who lost the job I
3:21:42
believe in Philly who's another All Star closer both of those
3:21:46
guys All Stars is that what do we how do we have like 5 or 6
3:21:51
All Stars on this list guys I'm surprised you didn't throw Devin
3:21:56
Williams on there. Well, I wanted to save Devin
3:21:59
Williams for a call to the pen after our sports minute.
3:22:04
Which? Will be coming up next Daryl and
3:22:07
this has. Been inside baseball by by the
3:22:10
way. I just want to say something.
3:22:11
I'm very surprised there are what, 6 guys that are All Stars
3:22:15
on that on that list. But I don't think it's going to
3:22:18
stay that way, I think. They're going to get better at,
3:22:20
there's 162 games in a season. So eventually as the season
3:22:24
prolongs, I think all those guys when the when it gets warm
3:22:28
outside baseball start to smack you, you're going to be able to
3:22:31
smack the balls. You're going to see more home
3:22:33
runs and you're going to see these guys actually get out of
3:22:36
their their slumps. Defensively, I think it's going
3:22:38
to be fine. Tommy Pham, by the way, I
3:22:41
actually like Tommy Pham. I think he's a good player and
3:22:44
we've seen what he's done. You get like stabbed a couple of
3:22:47
years ago or something like that in the middle of the season, I
3:22:50
don't know, like shot like he had like some crazy and like
3:22:53
crazy thing happened and then came back.
3:22:54
Tommy Pham but I I do know this Tommy, Tommy Pham.
3:22:58
I remember Tommy Pham every like every other year he gets traded
3:23:01
to a team at the trade deadline and then he becomes a big.
3:23:04
Part of their run in the playoffs.
3:23:06
So he was stat in 2020 when he was on the Padres he was stabbed
3:23:11
like 5 times or something. I I don't he's still a special
3:23:16
player anyways. Let's go to a quick break.
3:23:19
Let's go to a quick break. We have obviously a call to the
3:23:22
pen. We'll go.
3:23:23
Quickly through the. NHL playoffs right now, which is
3:23:26
very interesting and then we have analytics, but first our
3:23:29
sports minute with Mr. Aaron Fish.
3:23:31
Fishman, this is the Jabba and the Mouth Sports minute.
3:23:38
All right, another sports minute from Aaron Fishman here on Jabba
3:23:41
and the. Mouth We got a couple of stories
3:23:43
before. We go.
3:23:43
Through the scores tonight, starting off with the 49ers in.
3:23:48
Five time All Pro tight end George Kill agreeing to a four
3:23:51
year, $76 million contract extension.
3:23:55
The deal will keep Kittle in the Bay Area through the 2029
3:23:57
season. He gets 40 million guaranteed in
3:24:01
the deal. Kittle, who's 31 years old, was
3:24:03
a second team All Pro this past season for the 49ers.
3:24:06
In the down year for the team, he had 1000 and 11106 receiving
3:24:12
yards and eight touchdowns. He was first among tight ends
3:24:15
with 14.2 yards per reception. The deal will likely lead to
3:24:19
Kittle, who says he's going to play until the wheels fall off
3:24:23
to stay a 49er for his entire career.
3:24:27
A really scary incident occurred in Pittsburgh's PNC Park
3:24:30
Wednesday night as a fan fell 21 feet from the right field
3:24:34
Clementi Wall section of the stadium in the bottom of the
3:24:37
seventh inning of the Pirates Cubs game.
3:24:39
The game is paused as you stretchered off the field and
3:24:41
brought to the hospital. No foul play is suspected, and
3:24:44
the injured fan is currently in critical condition in Allegheny
3:24:47
General Hospital in Pennsylvania.
3:24:50
And finally, although the Lakers were eliminated from the
3:24:54
playoffs in five games, new star Luka Doncic, who battled through
3:24:57
a bad back, he revealed after the series.
3:24:59
Concluded. Has done something very special
3:25:02
to ingratiate himself with Laker fans.
3:25:04
Artist Louis Palsino started a GoFundMe page for the
3:25:07
restoration of his vandalized mural of the late Kobe and Gigi
3:25:11
Bryant mural in Los Angeles. Well, Luka covered the entire
3:25:15
cost on GoFundMe $5000 in order to get this done for the Lakers
3:25:19
faithful. It's was always, it's important
3:25:21
to give back to the community. Don just said after practice.
3:25:24
They gave me so much. I just want to give back.
3:25:26
I'd like to say and the community members said, I'd like
3:25:28
to say thank you to Luca. I'm proud he's a Laker now and
3:25:31
representing Los Angeles and I know Kobe is proud.
3:25:36
Well, Luca may be finding his way into LA fans hearts, but
3:25:39
this year he did not find his way into the second round of the
3:25:42
playoffs and will have to regroup with or without LeBron
3:25:46
James next season. We are streaming live on TikTok,

Music that he. Picks I told him to go hip hop.
3:27:00
He goes like, like, I don't know what the hell that is.
3:27:03
But anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we call this segment
3:27:08
a call to the pen. I think you can throw.
3:27:11
A strike on this pitch. It's not going to be my John.
3:27:13
It feels like jello right now. Just get it over the plate.
3:27:16
I want him to swing. Last time I did that the guy hit
3:27:18
one that hasn't landed yet for a.
3:27:20
Call to the. Pen.
3:27:22
All. Right, ladies and gentlemen,
3:27:23
it's pretty simple. Jabba and the Goodster.
3:27:27
Are going to go back and forth. And tell us, well, obviously
3:27:31
fish is going to have some questions.
3:27:32
But they're going to go back and forth and tell us stories about
3:27:35
their time in the MLB. Let's do it here.
3:27:43
Let me add myself back in. We'll go with it like this and
3:27:46
we'll just throw you up in the middle.
3:27:47
When your turns up, it's a call to pen.
3:27:49
Early season struggles. In the pen I was.
3:27:51
Thinking of this because of Devin Williams being.
3:27:53
Removed from from the closer role temporarily and you guys
3:27:56
both were relievers in the bigs. And I was wondering, you know,
3:28:00
what it was like when you had struggles or some of your
3:28:03
teammates had struggles and how you guys tried to work through
3:28:05
them, how to help each other out and if you have any cool stories
3:28:08
about something like that. I mean, for me really it's I
3:28:14
think change of scenery sometimes is a good thing.
3:28:16
Sometimes it's a bad thing. We we see a change of scenery
3:28:19
can. Can be both I think.
3:28:23
Sometimes. Too, And obviously we'll get
3:28:25
goodies take on this, but I sometimes think when you
3:28:27
struggle, sometimes you try to do too much, like you
3:28:33
overanalyze and you become paralysis by analysis where
3:28:37
because you have so much video and you have like you're in the
3:28:40
big leagues for a reason and you just try to get better at what
3:28:46
your craft is every year, every game.
3:28:50
And I think too, when you have struggles, I think sometimes
3:28:54
less is more. There may be, you know, you may
3:28:58
have moved hand position, you may be leaking on your front
3:29:01
side. There's a lot of.
3:29:02
Euphemisms that I could. Use but I think too with a
3:29:07
change of scenery, with certain things, with struggling and
3:29:11
getting taken out of position that you're used to and we'll.
3:29:14
Specifically, talk. About Devin Williams is maybe
3:29:18
going into it knowing what he had and, and what Luke Weaver
3:29:21
has done. Maybe he tried to do too much.
3:29:24
Maybe he was trying to make one pitch better because we've all
3:29:28
fell into this like where oh, I threw a bastard slider, I got to
3:29:32
make this one even better. It turns into a cement mixer and
3:29:34
it's 420 feet to left field. And so I think for him, he he
3:29:40
just needs to trust his stuff and know he's good enough to do
3:29:44
it. And Nick Turturro and I talk all
3:29:47
the time and we had him on the show and he's a die hard Yankees
3:29:50
fan. And we we talk pretty much every
3:29:52
day when it comes to the Yankees.
3:29:54
And maybe there's a different role for him on this club
3:29:59
compared to when it was with the Brewers.
3:30:00
And sometimes that is what happens.
3:30:03
And you've seen what Luke Weaver can do.
3:30:05
He's very capable of it. We've seen it in the regular
3:30:07
scene, we've seen in the postseason.
3:30:09
And maybe Devin is more set to set up.
3:30:13
We'll, we'll see what happens. Is he going to win it back?
3:30:15
I don't know. But I think he just needs to
3:30:18
trust the process. And yeah, we all have rough
3:30:21
outings and we all have rough starts.
3:30:23
And I think it's just trusting. Your ability trusting.
3:30:27
In what you do and not over analyzing it to like where you
3:30:31
have to reform everything like, oh, it's not working here.
3:30:35
I have to change everything. I don't think you have to do
3:30:37
that. And I I think and I hope he
3:30:39
doesn't. And I think he's going to be
3:30:43
good. Yeah, It was a rough month.
3:30:45
Let's just, I mean, let's put it that way.
3:30:46
It is what it is. But I think with his ability and
3:30:50
his pitch ability and knowing what he's good at, I think he'll
3:30:56
be just fine. Yeah.
3:30:57
Is it going to take a little bit?
3:30:59
I just hope he doesn't try to recreate the wheel because that
3:31:02
wheel is what got him here and obviously what made him sign
3:31:07
with this team and what they believed he could do.
3:31:10
So I think he'll be fine. I just hope he doesn't try and
3:31:13
do too much and and change a lot of things because when that
3:31:17
happens, then it changes who you are and who you are is what got
3:31:21
you here. Yeah, man, I would agree with
3:31:25
that. That's pretty, pretty well put,
3:31:27
right There Doesn't really need to be too much, honestly.
3:31:30
A. Few things that I would do.
3:31:34
And that we would do as a bullpen.
3:31:36
We would probably go out. We're struggling.
3:31:38
Just just go out and just torture.
3:31:41
Your body. And then like on my, on my, on
3:31:45
my end, like if I had a rough one, I would usually go to like
3:31:48
McDonald's and order like 2 Big Macs, an extra large coke, a
3:31:52
biggie fry and just pound it to the face and just feel terrible
3:31:57
for my about myself for that night.
3:31:59
Wake up the next day and be ready to rock.
3:32:01
So like everybody has their own way of getting out of a funk.
3:32:04
You know, he needs to just make small adjustments.
3:32:06
Baseball is a game of adjustments.
3:32:08
So, so it needs to be small adjustments, probably needs to
3:32:11
get in with with, you know, Matt Blake or or Desi and just hone
3:32:18
in on one specific thing because sometimes it could be the most
3:32:21
ridiculous thing that changes your whole year and May and it's
3:32:26
literally, I mean, personally for me, I was struggling really
3:32:30
bad in 2019 and AAA coming back from an elbow surgery.
3:32:33
And if and if my slider was not very good and a fan showed me a
3:32:40
picture that she took of my hand on the baseball when I was
3:32:43
throwing a slider. I kid you not.
3:32:45
And my pointer finger was off and like the whole time before
3:32:49
that, I was death gripping it with two fingers.
3:32:51
And she showed me that and I was like, I was like, holy crap.
3:32:54
Like, mind you, I hadn't pitched in a year.
3:32:56
So like this is like I'm starting to get back into it,
3:32:58
you know, and changed my whole my whole thing.
3:33:01
I took my 22 ERA down to a 7 was in the show and pitched to a 3
3:33:05
1/2 the rest of the year just because of the picture.
3:33:08
That's wild. Something small like that, that
3:33:11
all he needs to do. And sometimes it's just a fake
3:33:14
amount of confidence, something to just get you there.
3:33:17
It's a. Placebo.
3:33:18
Effect that will take. You to the next level and
3:33:20
obviously I mean the dude's good.
3:33:23
Like the guy played, you know, he's a stud.
3:33:25
So like just needs a little boost of confidence and I hope
3:33:28
New York, the fans will give that to him because you're going
3:33:30
to need them come the postseason, you're going to need
3:33:32
them to even get into the postseason.
3:33:35
Goody. I'm I'm the same way.
3:33:36
I I would flare on a curveball. And so that's when I started
3:33:42
using a finger condom. Because literally like so it's a
3:33:48
finger condom where your finger goes in so it doesn't.
3:33:50
Move, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Literally.
3:33:52
You knew the the best. I wasn't.
3:33:53
On that glove, mine was on the ball on.
3:33:55
The ball mine was as I would release because I was an over
3:33:58
pronator and so as soon as they would see my finger pop up they
3:34:02
knew it'd be a. Curveball.
3:34:04
And you knew who pointed. It out was a hitter and so
3:34:07
that's when that's when I realized I need to talk to
3:34:10
hitters more so than I need to talk to pitchers.
3:34:12
You get the best advice from them.
3:34:14
Those are the guys I'm trying to get out and they're like, we
3:34:17
knew you'd throw it every time because we just watch your
3:34:19
finger go up and you don't. Subconsciously, you don't.
3:34:22
Think about it. But you do it.
3:34:24
I was like this when I was sucking death grip and white
3:34:27
knuckle. So I would go come here, same
3:34:30
thing and then on the picture and.
3:34:34
When I'm at my best, this finger is just just relaxing on the
3:34:38
seam. So when I would go down, the
3:34:40
picture was like this and you can't tell because my arm is
3:34:43
behind me. Only I would know and so it
3:34:46
would be down and then as I come back up, it gets back on and
3:34:50
then I RIP through, which is the most ridiculous thing.
3:34:53
And it it clicked and I and then, you know, then I just was
3:34:56
just wipe out sliders and back back.
3:35:00
That's a whole nother story that we can get into.
3:35:03
It's a pretty interesting story, my 2019 season.
3:35:05
But yeah, I'll have to share that one off.
3:35:11
We'll have to, we'll have to dial that up for the next time
3:35:14
we might. That's something I want to share
3:35:17
offline. Offline.
3:35:18
So it's not it's not NSFW. Is what you're saying for right
3:35:24
now for right? Now maybe in a few years then we
3:35:26
could get back. Yeah, did.
3:35:28
You. Did you ever go slump, Buster?
3:35:30
Yeah, I was. I've I've had a boy.
3:35:33
My girlfriend slash wife for 17 years.
3:35:38
Oh well, you're lucky because. I had one and honestly this my
3:35:44
like my slump Buster was too big Macs.
3:35:47
And a. Pint of ice cream from graders.
3:35:51
Absolutely just. That's kind of what she looked
3:35:54
like. Well, Buck, I blitz, bro.
3:36:01
The things you learn. On a call to the pen.
3:36:06
All right, everybody, that was a great. 1.
3:36:09
Let's move on back to. Errol.
3:36:13
Speedy, I was, you know, I have something stuck in my throat.
3:36:16
What do you think that is? See, your mic's off, so you
3:36:20
probably had something. Stuck into something else.
3:36:23
Oh, right. And Speedy, I had nothing to say
3:36:26
from that. All right, ladies and gentlemen.
3:36:28
We're going to go through the. NHL playoffs pretty quickly
3:36:30
because obviously we're watching obviously the best to me, the
3:36:35
NHL playoffs are the best to watch when it comes to the
3:36:37
playoffs. So it's it's absolutely fun and
3:36:40
the first round is practically over.
3:36:42
We're watching. Actually, if you look at it,
3:36:45
there's there's only two teams left that have not gone on to
3:36:49
the second round. We got the Winnipeg Jets and the
3:36:53
Saint Louis Blues and the Dallas, the Dallas Stars in the
3:36:56
Colorado Avalanche as Dallas leads 3:00 to 2:00.
3:36:59
So why don't we go Winnipeg, Saint Louis, it's three to
3:37:02
three. I'm sorry.
3:37:04
It's three to three, three to three.
3:37:05
What? Dallas in Colorado, they scored.
3:37:09
OK, so it's three to it's three to three.
3:37:11
Come on now, get. It right well.
3:37:13
I'm not watching. The scores here, but anyways
3:37:15
it's 3. To three.
3:37:16
Speedy Winnipeg in Saint Louis. What are your thoughts quickly?
3:37:19
Yeah, it it's one of those series that.
3:37:21
Winnipeg depends on the. Goaltending, I think they've
3:37:23
outplayed them in pretty much every other aspect.
3:37:25
The Blues hanging tough, though they were the hottest team in
3:37:27
the in the Western Conference the second-half of the season.
3:37:29
So who did you? Have in that I had, I had
3:37:31
Winnipeg in six. I had Winnipeg too.
3:37:33
I, I, I think you had, I think you had him in a sweep and it
3:37:35
looked like it was going that way for a while.
3:37:37
Then I think hella bucks got shook in game 3.
3:37:39
He's kind of. Haven't recovered since.
3:37:41
I'm not surprised. Winnipeg's going to win this.
3:37:43
Series, they have the best goalie in the world right now.
3:37:45
He's been the best goalie really all season long in Hellebug.
3:37:48
So I I got Winnipeg Jabba. Yeah, it's obviously I watch it
3:37:55
when I can, but yeah, I I think I had Winnipeg in six.
3:38:01
All right, it's How about you fish?
3:38:03
Yeah, I had. I had Winnipeg in six.
3:38:05
I haven't changed my mind. I still have Colorado in
3:38:09
Colorado. And Dallas, even though.
3:38:11
And you said it's three games to three.
3:38:13
Is that what you said? No, no, no.
3:38:16
I'm talking about, right? Now Dallas wins is is leading
3:38:19
the series 3 to 2332 Dallas in the series.
3:38:22
I know it's three I got. That I understand, the score is
3:38:25
3. Three, but I I was going through
3:38:28
what the series is and, and it's 3:00 to 2:00.
3:38:30
Dallas, I expect Colorado to take.
3:38:32
It 7 I I still have Colorado winning the series if they could
3:38:35
take this to seven games, which I had Colorado winning in seven.
3:38:39
So if if Colorado can get it 27 games I think Colorado wins this
3:38:44
series. The only problem here is Dallas
3:38:46
has the better goaltending. Colorado for years has been
3:38:48
trying to find a goalie and and for years I've had problems
3:38:52
finding them keeping 1. So that's the only problem in
3:38:55
this series and not in jurors one.
3:38:56
I would think a top 7 goalie right now in all the easily And
3:39:00
Kenzie Blackwood looked good in the beginning of the series for
3:39:02
Colorado but has been shelled the first couple of the last
3:39:05
couple of games. Miro Heisken coming back from
3:39:06
Dallas after he was hurt too is a big upgrade to their.
3:39:09
Defense and the Avalanche penalties has to be better 17%
3:39:12
so far in the series that's not going to cut it against a team
3:39:14
like Dallas was a great defense fish your thoughts I I love Kyle
3:39:18
Mccarr he's like the best defenseman I've seen since Brian
3:39:22
Leach playing and like maybe Victor hedman at his best.
3:39:24
You know those There's only a couple of.
3:39:26
Guys, maybe Carlson when? He was a little younger that
3:39:29
play like this. He's got I don't.
3:39:32
How many goals did he have this year?
3:39:33
Did he get to 30? I think he was a little short.
3:39:36
He was very, it was something ridiculous like that.
3:39:39
Don't forget about Phil Coffey. He was a great, a great
3:39:42
defensive, offensive, defensive. Well, that, that's, that's going
3:39:44
back like. No, he did get there.
3:39:46
Thirty goals, 62 assists. Yeah, he got there.
3:39:48
He did have 30. Goals, right?
3:39:50
Sometimes there's enough star power to overcome.
3:39:53
A better team and they're trying.
3:39:55
I just. I just see.
3:39:57
Dallas winning this one I. Think they're going to finish it
3:39:59
tonight? If not.
3:40:01
Take it home and in the next game I I say Dallas not
3:40:04
surprised about the Vegas nights.
3:40:05
We all had Vegas moving on and they beat a Minnesota team
3:40:09
that's been up and down all season long.
3:40:11
The surprise is is the way they. You know, stood a stayed afloat
3:40:15
in the second-half of the season, but Vegas moves on the
3:40:20
the Kings and Edmonton. I forgot that that series is
3:40:23
still three to two. I'm the only one I think that
3:40:26
had Edmonton winning that series.
3:40:28
I would think, oh, you did so so it was me and you that had been
3:40:32
Edmonton moving on. Everybody else did not.
3:40:34
I expect Edmonton to end the the the Kings.
3:40:38
I I think Edmonton. Has the best player in the world
3:40:40
right now and he's proving it in this series as well.
3:40:44
And they got arguably the two best players in the world.
3:40:47
Toronto knocks off Ottawa. Not surprised.
3:40:50
A lot of us. I think everybody had Toronto
3:40:53
winning except I think Java had the upset.
3:40:55
I think for that, I think I did Tommy have Toronto too.
3:41:00
I believe so. I think it was Java that had
3:41:02
that upset. I'm pretty sure not surprised.
3:41:04
Toronto is moving on. And by the way.
3:41:05
Florida beating Tampa four games.
3:41:08
Of one I mean just absolute. Absolute demolishing the Tampa
3:41:13
Bay. Lightning well, a lot of people
3:41:14
thought light the lightning, we're going to put up a fight.
3:41:17
Florida is going to be the team to beat right now.
3:41:19
I I'm not surprised Florida's moving on four games of one with
3:41:22
the talent that they have with Chuck Kelsey and and Brad
3:41:26
Marshawn at the trade deadline. I mean, this team is.
3:41:29
And don't forget Errol the 4th, the goal and three assists and
3:41:33
the +4 by E2. Looser einen there's more of a.
3:41:39
Defensive defense, but it just proves how much depth that they
3:41:41
really have it. That was a this was a Tampa team
3:41:43
that had the second or they had the best goal differential in
3:41:45
the East and Florida took it Carolina.
3:41:48
Obviously knocking off the New Jersey Devils, and I want to let
3:41:52
the fans understand something. If New Jersey had Jack Hughes, I
3:41:55
think it'd be a different series.
3:41:56
But they. They absolutely demolished the
3:41:59
New Jersey Devils and they're going to have a lot of questions
3:42:01
in the offseason. Do they keep their coach?
3:42:03
Do they move on? There's a lot of questions with
3:42:07
the New Jersey Devils moving forward.
3:42:08
They're a very good team and and they had a goaltending in the
3:42:11
offseason. It wasn't their weakness, but
3:42:13
Carolina was by far the better team.
3:42:16
It just didn't make sense. Errol, I was saying this when
3:42:19
they were at the trade deadline buying guys.
3:42:21
If you don't have Jack Hughes, what are you really trying to
3:42:24
accomplish other than a first round?
3:42:25
Exit in five games and that's what that's what happened.
3:42:28
Tom Fitzgerald kind of been stuck in between.
3:42:30
They make the up assets, they end up a first round.
3:42:33
Yeah, they made the big trade with Timo Meyer two years ago,
3:42:35
and then they've been kind of stagnant since then.
3:42:37
In free agency, they did well, but not enough.
3:42:40
And then there's Washington. The same.
3:42:41
League. And then there's Washington and
3:42:42
Montreal not. Surprise another team that
3:42:45
Washington's been the best team in the Eastern Conference all
3:42:47
season long. Ovechkin and and and and all
3:42:49
the. Guys that over.
3:42:50
There they're they're. Playing good defense, they have
3:42:52
great goaltending. They're going to be a hard out
3:42:54
for Carolina. Carolina's going to have
3:42:56
problems with Washington because their offensive prowess.
3:42:59
You saw what they did against Montreal and they're mean.
3:43:02
Washington is a mean team and I expect this to be a really good
3:43:06
series. And I think it's going to come
3:43:07
down to the nitty and the gritty.
3:43:09
And by the way, I think I if if Colorado wins this series and
3:43:14
comes back, I would have had every single one out of the
3:43:18
first round coming out. Going into the second round, I
3:43:21
had Winnipeg, I had Colorado, I had Vegas, I had Edmonton, I had
3:43:27
Toronto, I had Florida, I had Washington and I had Carolina.
3:43:31
So you had a Florida. Winnipeg is your cup pick,
3:43:34
right? Yes, I I had Dallas, Florida.
3:43:36
OK, yes, I had Florida and Winnipeg and I expect it to be
3:43:40
Florida and Winnipeg too. I'm very.
3:43:42
Surprised Winnipeg's had problems with Saint Louis I I'm
3:43:44
very surprised, but this is Saint Louis.
3:43:47
And they find a way to win and they they have good goaltending
3:43:50
especially and we know who their goaltender is.
3:43:53
Your your favorite person interview so I and we saw what
3:43:57
he did for Team Canada in the old star or whatever they call
3:44:01
it. So I expect it.
3:44:03
To still come down to the nitty and the.
3:44:05
Gritty. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
3:44:07
our final segment of the night, as we call this the one and only
3:44:13
analytics. Ladies and gentlemen, it's
3:44:18
analytics. I want everybody together to go
3:44:22
ahead and say penis, penis, penis, vagina.
3:44:25
Vagina. Vagina.
3:44:29
OK. Welcome back to yet another
3:44:32
quality educational experience. Anal.
3:44:36
Lytics if you are. New to the?
3:44:39
Game. This is a competition of Errol
3:44:42
versus Speedy trying to solve a mystery term within 3 clues.
3:44:47
Whoever gets it right in the fewest amount of clues is the
3:44:51
winner. However, there is a catch.
3:44:53
They have to use it correctly in a sentence once they guess the
3:44:57
term. Now they've both thought of
3:44:59
mystery terms and they're going to share them to each other
3:45:02
first for a wild guess round before the clues start.
3:45:05
Except the terms are a little different.
3:45:07
So Speedy, who is a master of sports analytics, is coming up
3:45:13
with a sports analytical term. And Errol, tonight it'll be from
3:45:15
basketball. This is not usually Errol's
3:45:20
Forte. Errol's more of a an eye test
3:45:23
man when it comes to sports, more of a traditionalist.
3:45:27
As they. Say with how he evaluates the
3:45:30
athletes. So these terms are foreign to
3:45:33
him. Foreign to Speedy though are not
3:45:35
these terms. These terms that Speedy will be
3:45:39
getting from Errol are what Speedy usually calls gross
3:45:44
sexual crap. Yes, these will be sexual
3:45:46
innuendos and the they will go over Speedy's head on a daily
3:45:50
basis. So he is going to have just a
3:45:52
hardest time to try to figure out his term as Errol will his
3:45:57
leading to the great competition of analytics.
3:46:00
Boys. You ready for tonight's game to
3:46:01
start? I'm always ready.
3:46:03
All right, we're going to get the music going speedy for your
3:46:07
big reveal of your term of the night.
3:46:11
All right, so it's P. ER.
3:46:14
PERPER rating is one of them. Yep, rating is correct and this
3:46:21
is. Basketball, Basketball.
3:46:23
Points. No all.
3:46:26
Right, I got one all. Right, you got.
3:46:29
One, but no cigar. All right, Speedy.
3:46:35
You're on the clock. Here comes the.
3:46:37
Music. All right.
3:46:39
All right, Speedy, a big reveal. Here it is topping.
3:46:48
It's so vague that I wouldn't. Want to know what it is?
3:46:53
All right. Topping.
3:46:58
Topping. Not the guy that played for the
3:47:02
Knicks, no his. Brother, I know.
3:47:04
The miners. I know.
3:47:06
I figured it wouldn't. Didn't have anything.
3:47:08
To do with that. All right, let's go for the.
3:47:11
Approach of maybe it's like having to do with like dessert
3:47:15
toppings, so. Like it was like whipped cream
3:47:18
bikini things that I know a lot of women like to do.
3:47:23
So maybe because you watch Varsity Blues once?
3:47:29
So one of those. Types of things, but also like
3:47:33
freaking sex on. A beach type thing.
3:47:36
Speedy. I guess I'm going to answer
3:47:38
that. Wrong.
3:47:41
It was not very coherent of an answer.
3:47:45
But I award you. An A forever No points no.
3:47:49
Points and God rest your. Soul, rest your soul, We are all
3:47:55
right. It's time for a clue, speedster.
3:47:58
On PER. OK.
3:48:00
So if you have if you have a higher shooting percentage and
3:48:04
you also. Do it while not having to use.
3:48:07
So many possessions. To do it, you're considered.
3:48:10
One of the more blank players in the NBA.
3:48:17
OK, that's a good, good clue. PER well you gave.
3:48:27
Me a hint. So it's definitely player.
3:48:30
So you got player rating right? We got two of them.
3:48:38
You need the. EI don't get I don't get it, I
3:48:46
don't. Get it?
3:48:48
No, all right, we're not. There yet?
3:48:49
But not that far away after one clue.
3:48:52
Except now the tables have. Turned and guess what happens.
3:48:57
Now we are. Going to have Speedy coming on
3:49:01
up for the next one on analytics.
3:49:07
OK, Speedy, what of the holes get?
3:49:14
Reamed. OK.
3:49:17
One of the holes. All right, let's go.
3:49:25
One of the holes. Your word is topping.
3:49:32
Topping is my what? What is?
3:49:34
Topping. One of the holes, yeah.
3:49:38
OK, I'm trying to figure out the.
3:49:40
Other part that's going in that's.
3:49:41
More. And more confused about.
3:49:43
Holes I have like a 5050 shot. It's just all right.
3:49:49
Let's go topping though. Let's let's go with, I'll go
3:50:00
with the vagina and. It would be no.
3:50:10
It wouldn't be the top. Of the body.
3:50:12
That wouldn't make sense. So how about you?
3:50:17
Maybe you go on. Top of them and.
3:50:20
Then you put your. No, your tongue wouldn't work.
3:50:28
It seems like physically. Your tongue wouldn't work.
3:50:36
Yeah, I guess it has to be. I love, I love how speedy.
3:50:38
Like talks out loud for us to hear, is that?
3:50:41
Yeah, let's say. Let's say.
3:50:42
Let's say are you climb, so you climb on top of somebody and
3:50:46
then your penis. Goes in the vagina.
3:50:49
Speedy. Yep, that just.
3:50:52
Like sex, like like how that like normal?
3:50:57
I'm going to have to give you a new.
3:50:59
Credit for this one, but it was a good effort.
3:51:03
It always is. Was it though?
3:51:05
Well, it was an effort. OK.
3:51:09
All right. Let's go.
3:51:11
Back for another clue. On PER all right.
3:51:15
In a general terminology. The quickest method.
3:51:18
Of doing something. Is considered the most.
3:51:21
Oh, that's a good one. Starts with an E.
3:51:26
Say that again. So in general, the quickest
3:51:29
method of accomplishing something is considered.
3:51:31
The most? Not me.
3:51:38
OK this is easy bro with an E. Yeah, the.
3:51:47
Quickest. It's one of Speedy's usual terms
3:51:53
that describe something the. Quickest.
3:51:56
And most blank. I think I've got it.
3:52:01
Yeah, you got it. Let's go, player.
3:52:05
Efficient rating. Did I get it did.
3:52:11
I get it correct, it's efficiency.
3:52:13
Player efficiency. Rating.
3:52:15
We're not going to hold it against you that you don't know
3:52:17
how to. Conjugate verbs in the English
3:52:19
language. But that is.
3:52:21
Correct that. Here's a problem.
3:52:23
You have to use it in a sentence correctly for the complete win
3:52:30
or else Speedy gets a chance to win their tie.
3:52:34
LeBron James. LeBron James's Player Efficiency
3:52:38
Efficiency rating is better than Wilt Chamberlain's was in 19. 70
3:52:47
That's good. That's I'm going to have to look
3:52:49
it up right now to make sure that that's right. 1970 Wilt
3:52:54
Chamberlain PER which definitely makes sense.
3:52:59
From back then it makes sense. So he had a PER career of 26
3:53:07
point. Two and.
3:53:08
LeBron is higher so. Errol's right 26.88 for his.
3:53:11
Career Errol that. Means.
3:53:16
You are tonight's runaway. Champion of analytics, a
3:53:21
quality. Educational experience, but you
3:53:25
know we can't just leave this unfinished for Speedy.
3:53:30
Speedy ready. Here we go. 2 guys can have a
3:53:36
little fun this way. OK, so it's tag team.
3:53:41
Tag team sexual. Crap like the.
3:53:43
Usos on the same. I don't know what that means.
3:53:45
That doesn't help sexual crap. All right, so whole there is AI
3:53:52
remember the. Whole part again, it's.
3:53:53
Like the only part I can figure out in this the.
3:53:56
Question is, was I? Right on the.
3:53:58
Vagina. That's what I'm trying to.
3:54:06
All right, so two guys, what if I told you?
3:54:11
No, you know what, just keep going.
3:54:13
So it's obviously two guys. Penises.
3:54:19
Do they go in at the same time or is it layered on top?
3:54:23
Of each other, layered, layered on.
3:54:26
Top of each other, Let's go at the same time.
3:54:29
Like like an art project into the vagina.
3:54:34
While they're on top of a woman. At the same time.
3:54:38
Is what you're saying at the same time I'm.
3:54:39
Going to go with that in the same location.
3:54:42
Yeah. Do they like, absorb each
3:54:46
other's bodies? I don't know.
3:54:48
You don't. How the hell is 2?
3:54:50
Guys going to. Get on top.
3:54:53
Of one woman to get. It in one hole.
3:54:56
How the hell is that I feel? Like Speedy?
3:54:58
Is on the dark. Web more than we realize.
3:55:02
How is that possible? I I'd like to see that.
3:55:08
Well, I mean, since it's an educational.
3:55:11
Experience of highest of quality Errol.
3:55:14
You do have to educate Speedy on this term before we leave
3:55:17
tonight. Here here's Here's the
3:55:19
definition. It's when a person who is
3:55:24
actively engaging in a. Penetration during sexual
3:55:30
intercourse. Typically.
3:55:32
In what? What hole?
3:55:35
No ass. There you go.
3:55:38
Anal intercourse within the LGBTQ community.
3:55:44
What is that? I know what that is.
3:55:46
But what does that have? To do with a woman doesn't have
3:55:48
to do with a woman, you idiot. It's two men.
3:55:52
Oh I I did read that it can. Be two women it can.
3:55:57
But it's it's two men. It's two men penetrating.
3:56:02
From where, Speedy? Penetrating the asshole that
3:56:10
that was at four O 630 sound flip.
3:56:15
Man. The asshole.
3:56:21
Speedy, you didn't win tonight. But you always.
3:56:24
Give your your best effort which is.
3:56:26
Why we have such a great time learning?
3:56:30
Wait a second. I just how do you layer 2
3:56:33
penises on top of each other? I don't get that either that you
3:56:37
make a backsplash first and you put.
3:56:39
The first one down, Oh no man, beats to be looking at some
3:56:44
weird ass shit. This Internet browser probably
3:56:48
just. What the hell?
3:56:50
How do you? Layer a penis on top of a penis.
3:56:55
Is that something that you typed into like Brock yesterday or
3:56:58

3:57:00
Do it. I'm just trying to think of
3:57:02
this. How does that work?
3:57:04
Does it go? Opposite.
3:57:05
I don't understand. You're talking about search
3:57:10
history. That's the first thing I.
3:57:11
Cleared when my dad passed away. I didn't want to know.
3:57:16
How does 2 penises? Overlayer.
3:57:18
Each other to go inside of a woman, well, it's like a French
3:57:24
braid. You know.
3:57:25
Like. Those got one over the other,
3:57:27
those one over the other layered.
3:57:29

I don't get it, but he's infatuated with you.
3:58:47
He's like every time goody Tampa Orlando connection.
3:58:51
There must be something. I have no idea what it is, but
3:58:53
Carl, Oh my dog dude and the Cubs do need a bullpen arm.
3:58:57
Let's go crank that thing up, all.
3:59:00
Right, Nick Goody siding with the.
3:59:01
Cubs in late August. Yep, as.
3:59:04
We all know and actually I saw Nick throwing at 92, so that's
3:59:08
not bad. He's he's hitting the 90. 2 So
3:59:11
anyways, thank you to all the fans.
3:59:13
And we'll have an announcement next week for all your fans as
3:59:17
we're going to be doing something.
3:59:18
And and. Moving forward, it's going to be
3:59:20
big for us, so we'll make the announcement next week for our
3:59:23
show Monday. Do we have any guests?
3:59:25
PD Yes. A shout out to Nathan for
3:59:26
getting this one. Cam Lockridge, he's an undrafted
3:59:29
free agent. He played with Fresno State.
3:59:30
He's a defensive back. He just signed with the Buffalo
3:59:32
Bills. Oh, there we go.
3:59:35
Hopefully a big part of the Buffalo Bills secondary, right?
3:59:39
He's a secondary, yeah. He's a defensive back, DB or
3:59:42
maybe even. He could be a safety, he could
3:59:46
very much be a safety. He's pretty big, so we're very
3:59:49
interested to. See.
3:59:51
What he has to say about the Buffalo Bills now, but a lot to
3:59:54
get into on Monday as a lot of things that could happen.
3:59:58
We got the Knicks and the Celtics that start, I think on
4:00:01
Sunday, if I'm not mistaken. So that'll be interesting.
4:00:03
Monday actually isn't. You sure?
4:00:05
I thought it was Sunday. Yeah.
4:00:06
I think the last the contingency games were going to be on
4:00:09
Sunday. So if there's anything that goes
4:00:11
to Game 7 should be on Sunday. All right.
4:00:14
So I think they would. Start on Monday, then if.
4:00:17
If Denver wins, if Denver, if Denver wins, there's no more
4:00:20
games, right? I think it's over.
4:00:23
Is golden Golden State now They're still going Golden State
4:00:26
and. Houston Play.
4:00:26
Tomorrow, what is the Golden Warriors?
4:00:29
Yeah, that was that serious. That'll be over.
4:00:31
That'll be over tomorrow. Too.
4:00:32
So anyways, we got to go. Thank you to the.
4:00:35
Fans, we'll be back on Monday and.
4:00:37
Thursday until then. Have a great weekend, enjoy the.
