0:01
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.
0:04
Speaker 2: Oh what is going on? Welcome in, Happy Friday to you,
0:08
Speaker 2: fourth of July. Eve here on a Friday. Good hanging
0:14
Speaker 2: with you here, excited for the final two hours of
0:17
Speaker 2: the program. I gotta get to some of the tweets
0:21
Speaker 2: and react to our guy blind Sea Bass. That's in
0:25
Speaker 2: a couple of seconds. Hey, upgrade your FIFA World Cup
0:28
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six setup. Build it like Beckham from living
0:31
Speaker 2: room to lawn with the home Depot and take the
0:33
Speaker 2: fast free delivery. Assist the Home Depot Official FIFA World
0:37
Speaker 2: Cup twenty twenty six Supporter, subject to availability. It's getting good,
0:43
Speaker 2: getting good at the World Cup. We've got on Friday, tripleheader,
0:47
Speaker 2: last of the round thirty two.
0:49
Speaker 3: Then we get down to the nitty gritty round.
0:51
Speaker 2: Of sixteen, or as I call it, the sweet sixteen.
0:54
Speaker 2: So everybody knows what we're talking about. Over here, you
0:56
Speaker 2: get round of sixteen. That makes sense.
0:58
Speaker 3: But as soon as you.
1:00
Speaker 2: Start talking quarterfinals and semi final I get confused. Maybe
1:03
Speaker 2: you guys are better than me. I get super confused.
1:07
Speaker 2: I need a quarterback as the wristbands for the plays on.
1:10
Speaker 2: I need that we're in the semi finals. Remind me
1:14
Speaker 2: again that is that eight or four or sounds like two,
1:18
Speaker 2: But I don't think it. I'd rather just do what
1:21
Speaker 2: college basketball does.
1:22
Speaker 3: That's just me. But tripleheader on Friday.
1:25
Speaker 2: Nevertheless, Argentina and Columbia in action, not against each other,
1:30
Speaker 2: but on the same day. So lots of good stuff
1:33
Speaker 2: going on. Check it out on Fox. Fox one got
1:37
Speaker 2: you covered. Okay, So a little bit of ball. We
1:40
Speaker 2: will talk more ball as we go throughout the program.
1:43
Speaker 3: Here.
1:44
Speaker 2: I have the forgotten team of the upcoming twenty twenty
1:49
Speaker 2: six NFL season. I will get to that here momentarily,
1:53
Speaker 2: I promised ball. I will deliver ball. I will also
1:56
Speaker 2: deliver the militia as well. First, though the t feats,
2:01
Speaker 2: we get to blind Sea Bass, who let me recap
2:04
Speaker 2: his call, and then we'll get right to the tweets
2:06
Speaker 2: because it goes seamlessly right into it, just seamlessly right there.
2:11
Speaker 2: Blind Sea Bass roots for Vanderbilt, God bless them. Vanderbilt's
2:16
Speaker 2: on the rise football teams had a lot more success
2:18
Speaker 2: than they ever have. And he was like, I started
2:23
Speaker 2: off the program with this. One of my buddies texted
2:26
Speaker 2: me and said, Hey, I ran across something on X
2:28
Speaker 2: thought it was an interesting conversation. So the story is
2:34
Speaker 2: they talked to a bunch of Scottish soccer fans and
2:38
Speaker 2: they said, if you could win the World Cup this
2:41
Speaker 2: year in exchange for England, your heated rival, hated rivals,
2:49
Speaker 2: they win the next three World Cups, would you take
2:52
Speaker 2: that deal? And most of these Scottish fans were like, yeah,
2:57
Speaker 2: no way, no deal, which I think is ludicrous. It's
3:03
Speaker 2: more Luda than Ludacris the rapper himself. That's crazy. You
3:08
Speaker 2: don't have any World Cup titles if you're Scotland. Scotland's
3:12
Speaker 2: out of this year's World Cup. They're gone. Fanit though,
3:15
Speaker 2: but bye hit the road. You're not gonna you don't
3:19
Speaker 2: have one World Cup. I don't know they've even been
3:22
Speaker 2: close to a World Cup. And you're not gonna accept
3:25
Speaker 2: that deal.
3:25
Speaker 3: That's crazy to me. I don't care how much you
3:27
Speaker 3: hate England. That is crazy to me.
3:30
Speaker 2: And I know life would be miserable for those next
3:33
Speaker 2: three World Cups, but man, it'd be sweet for that
3:36
Speaker 2: one win. I would make that deal. Now, all of
3:39
Speaker 2: this depends on who you root for in all kinds
3:41
Speaker 2: of various factors, but we bring in blind Sea Bass.
3:46
Speaker 2: This is a great example. Blind Sea Bass roots for
3:50
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt football.
3:51
Speaker 3: He roots for.
3:52
Speaker 2: Vandy football, who's been an absolute doormat for ever. They've
3:59
Speaker 2: got better lately, but forever, they've been the laughing stock
4:04
Speaker 2: of college football, especially the SEC. You might hate Tennessee,
4:11
Speaker 2: you might hate the balls.
4:12
Speaker 3: I get it.
4:13
Speaker 2: You don't want to see them win the next three
4:15
Speaker 2: national championships afterward. But if you're Vanderbilt and you haven't
4:21
Speaker 2: sniffed the national title, you gotta make that deal. Man,
4:24
Speaker 2: you gotta make that deal. I can understand if you're
4:27
Speaker 2: knocking on the door and you know no, I'm gonna
4:32
Speaker 2: see if we can cash it on in on our own.
4:35
Speaker 2: I don't have to make this deal with the devil.
4:38
Speaker 2: If you will and the Valls win the next three
4:40
Speaker 2: I obviously, if they can do it on their own. Okay,
4:42
Speaker 2: if they were close, that would make sense.
4:44
Speaker 3: They're not close. They're not close.
4:47
Speaker 2: I know they're close to getting into the College Football
4:49
Speaker 2: Playoff last season.
4:51
Speaker 3: It wouldn't have mattered. They're not winning a title. Come on,
4:55
Speaker 3: what are we doing right now? I guess I guess
4:59
Speaker 3: you could look at you. I u's been horrible. They
5:03
Speaker 3: believe it or not, They've been worse. They have worse
5:04
Speaker 3: history than Vanderbilt.
5:06
Speaker 2: I you, before Kurt Signetti got there, they were the
5:09
Speaker 2: losingest program in FBS college football history. And Kurt Signetti
5:18
Speaker 2: gets there eleven and two, followed by undefeated national championship
5:22
Speaker 2: season this past year.
5:24
Speaker 3: Crazy.
5:24
Speaker 2: So I guess you could point to I you, if
5:27
Speaker 2: you're a Vandy fan and say, I you did it?
5:30
Speaker 3: Are you sucked forever?
5:33
Speaker 2: And I using the Big Ten, which is arguably better
5:36
Speaker 2: than the SEC right now? If they can do it,
5:39
Speaker 2: we can do it, and you know you give it
5:40
Speaker 2: the old college try. I guess Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is not
5:45
Speaker 2: close to winning a national championship. I don't know that
5:48
Speaker 2: they ever will be. You gotta make that deal, man,
5:51
Speaker 2: if you're Vandy, you got to make that deal. So
5:54
Speaker 2: some people checked in on Twitter at the No Show
5:57
Speaker 2: on X. Feel free to check in morning to night.
6:01
Speaker 3: Nine oh four.
6:01
Speaker 2: Ray says, as a fan of Mexico, I would like
6:05
Speaker 2: to accept the offer of one US World Cup championship
6:10
Speaker 2: for three hashtag not gonna happen. Okay, all right, so
6:16
Speaker 2: all right, he wants Mexico to win one and then
6:19
Speaker 2: he will stomach Team USA winning the next three.
6:23
Speaker 3: He would make that deal.
6:25
Speaker 2: Okay, he would accept it, all right, Late Night Drug Tester,
6:27
Speaker 2: let's go around the Twitter's fear over here, Twitter, Twitter's
6:32
Speaker 2: fears whatever, something like that. Close enough, Late Night Drug
6:36
Speaker 2: Tester says, the answer to the question is yes, I
6:38
Speaker 2: would take a Stanley Cup victory for the Winnipeg Jets
6:42
Speaker 2: and let the rival win The next three will never happen,
6:45
Speaker 2: but I still believe. Okay, so we would take the deal.
6:49
Speaker 2: Let's see Josh Well, being a Bears, Cubs and Lakers fan,
6:54
Speaker 2: I could never accept that deal.
6:56
Speaker 3: No way.
6:57
Speaker 2: I'd see the Celtics, Packers or Cardinals win three straight titles.
7:01
Speaker 2: Hashtag no way, you would not do it. The Bears
7:05
Speaker 2: one is interesting. I know you hate the Packers. I
7:09
Speaker 2: know you hate them, but nineteen eighty five was.
7:12
Speaker 3: A long time ago, long time ago.
7:18
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. I get both sides. I wouldn't
7:21
Speaker 2: call you crazy if you say no deal. And the
7:25
Speaker 2: Bears are getting better. It looks like they do have
7:27
Speaker 2: a real quarterback. Mark SCHLERA doesn't think so we'll get
7:30
Speaker 2: to that a little bit later in the program. Trashing
7:34
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams or at least being critical of them. But
7:40
Speaker 2: it's been a long time since eighty five for the Bears.
7:43
Speaker 2: Been a long time, maybe.
7:45
Speaker 3: A couple more brutal seasons.
7:47
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe the Bears are just Bear fans are high
7:50
Speaker 2: off of last season. I think that the timing of
7:52
Speaker 2: this matters a lot too, where they had all these
7:55
Speaker 2: come from behind wins in the final two minutes. They
7:58
Speaker 2: had six come from behind win in the final two minutes.
8:02
Speaker 2: That's insanity and that's also unsustainable. But it was a
8:07
Speaker 2: successful season. They went toe to toe with the Rams,
8:09
Speaker 2: almost beat the Rams in the playoffs.
8:12
Speaker 3: Very good season for the Bears.
8:14
Speaker 2: So if this was right off the heels of a
8:17
Speaker 2: four and thirteen like five and twelve disastrous season, maybe
8:21
Speaker 2: they feel a little bit different. Maybe a little bit differently.
8:25
Speaker 2: But right now they're like, nah, no deal, no deal,
8:28
Speaker 2: one last one. Jason he says, I did the same
8:33
Speaker 2: thing for me as a Dodger fan, and my answer is,
8:36
Speaker 2: no way do I take that deal for the baseball
8:40
Speaker 2: Giants to win three straight Colorado football, who hasn't won
8:44
Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty nine, I would take it and watch
8:47
Speaker 2: Nebraska win the title or win the titles okay, so
8:52
Speaker 2: I get it.
8:52
Speaker 3: So two things.
8:54
Speaker 2: We'll take it Lorena piece by piece, as Denzel said,
8:58
Speaker 2: and what you go again?
8:59
Speaker 3: Would have? Denzel? Which movie did Denzel say that in?
9:02
Speaker 3: Remember that's what.
9:05
Speaker 4: The one where he got shot?
9:07
Speaker 3: Mm hm, that's a generalization a lot. Yeh, yeh. Which
9:12
Speaker 3: one where he's a cop? Nope? No, nope?
9:20
Speaker 4: Are you sure?
9:21
Speaker 3: Ye oh?
9:23
Speaker 4: You lost me.
9:25
Speaker 3: Man on fire?
9:26
Speaker 4: That's what I said.
9:27
Speaker 3: No you didn't.
9:28
Speaker 2: You were thinking training day, So I know what you're
9:33
Speaker 2: thinking right there.
9:34
Speaker 3: So okay.
9:35
Speaker 2: So Jason piece by piece, he's a Dodger fan, makes
9:38
Speaker 2: total sense. Totally agree with him. They just want it
9:41
Speaker 2: all Dodgers went back to back. But there's no way
9:45
Speaker 2: you would accept that deal. Why would you do it?
9:49
Speaker 2: They might win it again on their own, so you
9:52
Speaker 2: would not. He'd be out of your mind to accept
9:53
Speaker 2: that deal. You win this next championship, the Giants win
9:56
Speaker 2: the next three?
9:57
Speaker 3: No way.
9:58
Speaker 2: And I agree with him here too. So he's talking
10:00
Speaker 2: about Colorado football. It's a Colorado Buffs fan. Haven't won
10:05
Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty nine, and some bitter memories for yours
10:09
Speaker 2: truly as a Notre Dame fan right around that time
10:11
Speaker 2: with a facing Colorado a couple of times right around
10:14
Speaker 2: that point in time, but he would he would take
10:18
Speaker 2: Colorado winning the one title, and he would stomach Nebraska
10:22
Speaker 2: winning the next three. Fair trade has been a long
10:27
Speaker 2: time since Colorado was close to winning a championship. That
10:30
Speaker 2: makes sense, Absolutely makes sense.
10:33
Speaker 3: So there you go.
10:34
Speaker 2: It depends on the team, depends on the scenario, depends
10:37
Speaker 2: on all that stuff. But it's a it's a fun thing.
10:40
Speaker 2: It's a is one of these make believe type things.
10:44
Speaker 2: But it does your power of negotiation over here. And
10:49
Speaker 2: I think also what's real about it is the appraisal
10:54
Speaker 2: of a couple of things. How close your team is
10:58
Speaker 2: to winning it all very important, and also how much
11:02
Speaker 2: you hate your rival. How much do you actually hate
11:05
Speaker 2: and despise your rival where you're like, nope, nope, I
11:10
Speaker 2: can't even I can't even make a deal where my
11:13
Speaker 2: team wins at all, if their team wins three in
11:16
Speaker 2: a row, I will say this, you're talking about real
11:19
Speaker 2: sports here. I think that Ohio State fans are out
11:22
Speaker 2: of their minds. We've talked about this before, where I
11:26
Speaker 2: understand there's this bitter, hated rival they have with Michigan.
11:32
Speaker 3: I get it.
11:32
Speaker 2: I understand it. It's a bitter rivalry, totally understand it.
11:39
Speaker 2: But there are Ohio State fans that would look you
11:41
Speaker 2: in the fight face and say I would rather beat
11:47
Speaker 2: Michigan than win a national championship. That's insanity. That is
11:52
Speaker 2: just insane. That makes nose. I don't care how much
11:55
Speaker 2: you hate your rival. I don't care. That's ridiculous. So like,
12:00
Speaker 2: how far does that go? Would you rather just win
12:04
Speaker 2: one game against Michigan and lose all the other ones? Like?
12:07
Speaker 3: How far does this go? Exactly?
12:08
Speaker 2: How insane can this get? The national championship is the
12:13
Speaker 2: ultimate trump card? Like Ohio State just did that. A
12:18
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, they lost to Michigan again and
12:22
Speaker 2: they went on a historic run and won a championship.
12:27
Speaker 2: Like what Ohio State fan after winning a title is
12:31
Speaker 2: like I traded for that win against Michigan, Yeah, a
12:36
Speaker 2: couple of months ago, Absolutely no doubt about. That's insanity
12:40
Speaker 2: to me, that makes absolutely no sense. Don't get that
12:43
Speaker 2: one whatsoever?
12:44
Speaker 3: All right?
12:45
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your number?
12:47
Speaker 2: Feel free to get in here, militia. Oh, let's get
12:50
Speaker 2: a two percent is with us right now? Two percent?
12:53
Speaker 3: What's going on?
12:54
Speaker 1: Man?
12:54
Speaker 3: In Bama. I didn't forget. What do you have on?
12:56
Speaker 3: What's on your mind here on a Friday morning?
12:59
Speaker 5: Here? Okay, so as a Bama fan, Yeah, sorry, Auburn.
13:04
Speaker 5: I hope little brother never wins one. But he has
13:07
Speaker 5: a Buffalo Bill and Buffalo Sabers fan.
13:10
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm used.
13:11
Speaker 5: I'm used to it. It's par for the course. Give
13:13
Speaker 5: me one, baby, give me one of those three four years.
13:16
Speaker 5: I'll go in hibernation. I will celebrate. I do not
13:19
Speaker 5: care if I would get my left testicle right now
13:24
Speaker 5: for either of those teams to win a Super Bowl
13:25
Speaker 5: and they never have to win one again, I do
13:27
Speaker 5: not care. I would do anything for that.
13:30
Speaker 3: Can you make it?
13:31
Speaker 2: Can you make it the Dolphins? If you're a Bills fan,
13:33
Speaker 2: can you make it where the Dolphins win the next three?
13:35
Speaker 5: Though?
13:35
Speaker 3: Can you do that too?
13:36
Speaker 6: Care?
13:37
Speaker 5: I could care less. I honestly could care less.
13:39
Speaker 3: I'll tell you as he is.
13:41
Speaker 5: I hate the Patriots. I hate the Patriots more than
13:42
Speaker 5: I hate the Dolphins. And there's been the dominant team
13:46
Speaker 5: of the century, you know what I mean.
13:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you'd have to.
13:48
Speaker 2: They've the Patriots been way more successful than than the
13:52
Speaker 2: Dolphins have. They've been a much bigger roadblock for you
13:54
Speaker 2: guys than Dolphins have for the last goodness.
13:57
Speaker 3: Two.
13:57
Speaker 2: Three, you gotta go back to like ninety four, the
14:00
Speaker 2: nineties when the Bills and Dolphins are playing each other
14:02
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and all that.
14:04
Speaker 5: Marino Kelly, Yeah.
14:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's been been too long since the Dolphins
14:08
Speaker 2: have been relevant for me.
14:10
Speaker 3: You're probably fine with it.
14:11
Speaker 1: But and the.
14:13
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt guy who calls like I mean, I'm in I'm
14:16
Speaker 5: in Alabama country like fathers in it? Who was? I
14:20
Speaker 5: was born in Alabama, grew up in Western New York.
14:21
Speaker 5: Mothers from there, fathers from down here, right, so I
14:26
Speaker 5: got roots in both places. That Vanderbilt guy. Up until
14:29
Speaker 5: what last couple of years ninety Vanderbilt Vans started rooting
14:35
Speaker 5: for Alabama. Their own team are just coly quit. They
14:38
Speaker 5: got a liar, he's lying through his teeth. They gotta
14:41
Speaker 5: sell his soul for a Vanderbilt title. I don't believe
14:43
Speaker 5: the word he's saying.
14:43
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, you know what, I believe him, but I
14:46
Speaker 3: think he's crazy.
14:47
Speaker 2: You gotta take the deal you have to Vanderbilt football.
14:52
Speaker 3: Two. Come on, man, come on, they're at.
14:55
Speaker 5: School of academics. Man, that people. They're just they're not
14:58
Speaker 5: going to get the guys. They're just not gonna the
15:00
Speaker 5: players because you know, they're you know, much of playing football,
15:03
Speaker 5: not really about the great.
15:05
Speaker 2: By the way, by the way, you probably know this
15:07
Speaker 2: trivia question for you because I'm doing my Vanderbilt research.
15:11
Speaker 3: Forget about a national championship.
15:12
Speaker 2: How many SEC championships has Vanderbilt won over the years,
15:19
Speaker 2: and this is let's see the conference formed in nineteen
15:25
Speaker 2: thirty two. How many conference championships has Vanderbilt claimed?
15:29
Speaker 3: What would you say?
15:33
Speaker 5: Oh, man, I mean, I mean, I'm not a big
15:37
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt like scorekeeper. I'll say one one.
15:42
Speaker 3: That's one too many, not any none.
15:46
Speaker 2: They don't want a conference championship and you're gonna turn
15:49
Speaker 2: down a national championship.
15:51
Speaker 3: No way you have to take that.
15:54
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't buy it either. Man. I know
15:56
Speaker 5: they're pretty good at baseball. I'll give him that.
15:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely up.
16:00
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah.
16:01
Speaker 3: Who was the lefty David Price. He's a Vanderbilt guy.
16:04
Speaker 3: Yeah he was a.
16:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
16:08
Speaker 2: Skip would probably take this deal. Skip would be like,
16:11
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I have no choice.
16:13
Speaker 5: All right.
16:13
Speaker 3: Two percent. Good stuff, buddy, Good to hear from you.
16:16
Speaker 2: O God, there you go. Gotta get it in there,
16:19
Speaker 2: gotta get it in there. Yeah, man, Bill's fans. Goodness,
16:23
Speaker 2: maybe this question is Taylor made for I don't know,
16:26
Speaker 2: Scottish soccer fans and Buffalo Bill's fans. Would you accept
16:32
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl title this season? You win it all
16:35
Speaker 2: and your bitter rival wins the next three it'd probably
16:39
Speaker 2: be the Patriots, right, Yes, you'd be out of your
16:42
Speaker 2: mind not to take that deal. Four straight super Bowl losses,
16:46
Speaker 2: not one Super Bowl victory ever in your franchise's history.
16:51
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's an absolute no brainer, no brainer. Man, Hey,
16:56
Speaker 2: upgrade your FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six setup. Build
16:59
Speaker 2: it like that them from living room to lawn with

17:18
Speaker 2: Patty sweeka our producer here. He informed me that Jonas
17:22
Speaker 2: Knox he did this on two pros the other day.
17:26
Speaker 2: He tried to see how long he could say goal,
17:29
Speaker 2: and Patty estimated it's about forty seconds. Or so I
17:33
Speaker 2: would like to go toe to toe with one Jonas Knox.
17:38
Speaker 2: Patty's trying to find the audio. Oh my honor system.
17:42
Speaker 2: I hope he's not copying and pasting like twenty seconds
17:46
Speaker 2: on top.
17:46
Speaker 3: Of it, you know what I mean?
17:47
Speaker 2: Like you could you could do this, you could extend
17:49
Speaker 2: it even more. But I trust you, Patty, I trust.
17:52
Speaker 6: You, trust the process.
17:53
Speaker 2: Trust Okay, right, it did not do me dirty over here?
17:56
Speaker 2: And I get into it and I go for like
17:58
Speaker 2: forty two seconds, and all of a sudden, Jonas Knox
18:03
Speaker 2: lasts for like three straight more minutes. You know, I'm like,
18:05
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you doctor the audio over you undoctored audio.
18:10
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to take down Jonas Knock. I'm gonna
18:13
Speaker 2: try to take his belt away for having said gold
18:17
Speaker 2: the longest here on the Fox Sports radio airwaves. I
18:20
Speaker 2: don't know if the Mellor militia is ready for this,
18:22
Speaker 2: and we're gonna do it at some point, hopefully when
18:25
Speaker 2: it's a long segment, because you know, my lung capacities
18:30
Speaker 2: it's pretty impressive.
18:31
Speaker 6: Do you want to do Jonases and then give your
18:33
Speaker 6: to give yourself some time to like prep it. They're like,
18:37
Speaker 6: I have it ready for you now if you want it?
18:39
Speaker 3: Oh you do? Yeah?
18:40
Speaker 6: Right here?
18:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not ready for it just yet.
18:43
Speaker 2: Okay, not ready just yet, because you know, we'll do
18:46
Speaker 2: it around the corner here, because it might be good
18:49
Speaker 2: to hear it. And then I think what would be
18:51
Speaker 2: good is if I try to surpass it while it's
18:56
Speaker 2: being played simultaneously.
18:58
Speaker 3: You know, I think that'd probably be a good way
19:00
Speaker 3: to do it. We could try it.
19:01
Speaker 2: We'll get Nutty here. We'll get Nutty here on a
19:03

19:20
Speaker 2: n O gets hit up from time to time from
19:22
Speaker 2: the milicion.
19:23
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not a sports radio host, like stop.
19:28
Speaker 2: That might be a thing I've never checked, but would

21:41
Speaker 2: let's talk some ball. Shall we talk a little ball
21:43
Speaker 2: over here? Football is overdue.
21:46
Speaker 3: On this program.
21:48
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about this because you know who got
21:52
Speaker 2: me thinking about this, Brandon Aiyuk, our guy ba Brandon Aiyuk,
21:58
Speaker 2: who is still with the four Niners, who was trying
22:01
Speaker 2: to force his way out of all things Niners. He's
22:05
Speaker 2: still with San Francisco right now, and he was doing
22:09
Speaker 2: a dance. He was doing some sort of you know,
22:12
Speaker 2: like TikTok dance, getting all giddy that he was about
22:16
Speaker 2: to be a member of the Washington Commanders.
22:18
Speaker 3: And so I just started thinking about both.
22:20
Speaker 2: Of those teams, and I was looking at their season
22:22
Speaker 2: win totals and if you look at the Niners, ten
22:25
Speaker 2: and a half schedule is a lot tougher this season
22:28
Speaker 2: than last season. I think under ten and a half
22:32
Speaker 2: is a pretty savvy play. But if you look at
22:34
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders, their season win total is at seven.
22:39
Speaker 3: And a half. I gotta be honest with you.
22:42
Speaker 2: I love the over. I love the over for the
22:46
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. And here's the thing. One of the reasons
22:49
Speaker 2: I love it, they're getting absolutely zero hype, no hype whatsoever.
22:57
Speaker 2: You know one team it's getting. I had a bit
23:00
Speaker 2: of love right now the New Orleans Saints. I hear
23:05
Speaker 2: way more positive things said about the New Orleans Saints
23:08
Speaker 2: than I do the Washington Commanders. I'll hear, hey, you
23:11
Speaker 2: know you look at Tyler shock Man, it came on
23:14
Speaker 2: down the stretch. They got some good wide receivers. Have
23:17
Speaker 2: Saints look at that division winnable. I hear a lot
23:21
Speaker 2: of positive things about the Saints. There's a lot of
23:24
Speaker 2: Saints love. Any Commander's love. No, it's not think about
23:30
Speaker 2: this team. They went to the NFC Championship game. In
23:36
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels' rookie season, they made that big of a leap.
23:42
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels was a rookie and presto boom. They're already
23:47
Speaker 2: in the NFC title game. That's a lot of progress.
23:52
Speaker 2: That's a ton of progress.
23:54
Speaker 3: Immediately.
23:55
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels was banged up last season, only started seven
23:59
Speaker 2: games and they had a disastrous season. They were five
24:02
Speaker 2: and twelve. So if you go in order, you go
24:05
Speaker 2: all the way back to twenty twenty three, they were
24:07
Speaker 2: four and thirteen. What happened this past season? The next season,
24:13
Speaker 2: Jaydon Daniels rookie year twelve and five, they improved by
24:16
Speaker 2: eight wins. And then Jayden Daniels was banged up. Last season,
24:20
Speaker 2: they went the other way. They went backwards. They were
24:23
Speaker 2: five and twelve. You know what's funny is and I
24:28
Speaker 2: said this, I'll give myself a little pad on the back,
24:30
Speaker 2: little pad on the back over here. Last season's commanders.
24:37
Speaker 3: That was the Patriots. That's exactly what happened. That was
24:41
Speaker 3: the version.
24:42
Speaker 2: And now I don't know that it's the comparison maintains
24:47
Speaker 2: going forward from that point, but that was the situation.
24:51
Speaker 2: There are things that were very very similar, very similar,
24:56
Speaker 2: and I could get it where, you know, you could
24:59
Speaker 2: even do it schedule wise, where the path was very
25:03
Speaker 2: similar where in terms of the divisions that they played,
25:06
Speaker 2: it was eerie. I gotta find my I didn't even
25:09
Speaker 2: think about this. I'm just doing this off the top
25:11
Speaker 2: of my head. But I gotta find my NFL schedules
25:15
Speaker 2: over here. Yes, yes, there we go. This would be good.
25:17
Speaker 2: Let me get this, let me get this, or we're
25:19
Speaker 2: doing this right here, Maler militia. So this is eerie.
25:22
Speaker 2: This is pretty eerie. Where if you look at the
25:25
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders last season, well actually two years ago, there'd
25:30
Speaker 2: be twenty four season when they had their really good year.
25:34
Speaker 2: That was Jayden Daniels rookie season. So here you go,
25:37
Speaker 2: check this out. This is pretty eerie. So they played
25:39
Speaker 2: the NFC South and the AFC North. Okay, that's what
25:44
Speaker 2: they did last season. Are they're good season? Sorry, I
25:47
Speaker 2: keep messing it up. They're good season twenty twenty four
25:51
Speaker 2: they went to the NFC Championship game. That was Jayden
25:54
Speaker 2: Daniels rookie season. That's who they played. They played the
25:57
Speaker 2: AFC North and the NFC South, NFC South not very
26:01
Speaker 2: good top to bottom, right, that's what they o. I'm sorry,
26:08
Speaker 2: would you like to be more confused? Right here?
26:09
Speaker 3: Lorrain confused.
26:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be a little bit more confused. Here's
26:14
Speaker 2: what they did. They played I'm so sorry. I apologize
26:18
Speaker 2: a million apologies. Twenty twenty four season. All right, we're
26:22
Speaker 2: good so far. Jayde Daniels was a rookie. They went
26:25
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship game. They played the NFC South,
26:29
Speaker 2: not good, top to bottom, AFC North. Okay, let's uh,
26:33
Speaker 2: let's go back to just last year, twenty twenty five.
26:37
Speaker 2: Let's look at the Patriots real fast. Here, Let's see
26:39
Speaker 2: who did they play. Who did they play in their
26:42
Speaker 2: Super Bowl appearance season?
26:44
Speaker 5: Oh?
26:44
Speaker 2: Wow, AFC North, NFC South, the exact same divisions. So
26:53
Speaker 2: two years ago, Washington they take that path and well
26:58
Speaker 2: they they go all the way to the Super Bowl,
26:59
Speaker 2: and again they're playing a last play schedule, so they're
27:03
Speaker 2: getting fat against teams that aren't very good. Right, what
27:07
Speaker 2: did the Patriots do last year? Well, they were four
27:09
Speaker 2: and thirteen also the season prior, so they played a
27:14
Speaker 2: last play schedule and they had a favorable path. They
27:17
Speaker 2: took full advantage of it. So yeah, if you look
27:21
Speaker 2: at the Commanders back in twenty four, it affects three
27:25
Speaker 2: unique games.
27:26
Speaker 3: As I call it, right, we're talking three games here.
27:28
Speaker 2: When you hear some of they play a last play schedule,
27:30
Speaker 2: they play a first play schedule. We're talking about it
27:33
Speaker 2: impacting three games. So for the Commanders two years ago,
27:37
Speaker 2: it affected at the Cardinals, they took on the Bears,
27:40
Speaker 2: Bears weren't good yet, right, and they took on the
27:42
Speaker 2: Titans favorable. That was www. They won every one of
27:48
Speaker 2: those games. If you look at the Patriots last season,
27:52
Speaker 2: again playing a last play schedule, what did they do
27:55
Speaker 2: in those three unique games? They played the Raiders in
27:59
Speaker 2: Week one and they lost? How crazy is that? The
28:02
Speaker 2: Patriots went fourteen and three, made it to the Super Bowl,
28:05
Speaker 2: lost in Week one to the Raiders. You can't make
28:07
Speaker 2: this stuff up. They also played at the Titans, smoked them.
28:11
Speaker 2: And their other unique game they hosted the Giants and
28:14
Speaker 2: they smoked them too. They took advantage of a very
28:18
Speaker 2: favorable schedule. They they got an instant boom from the
28:24
Speaker 2: quarterback position. Remember Drake made didn't play a whole lot
28:27
Speaker 2: his rookie season, and so last year he made a
28:31
Speaker 2: big impact.
28:33
Speaker 3: And then they went in free agency.
28:36
Speaker 2: If you look at that the Commanders two years ago,
28:38
Speaker 2: they made a lot of upgrades free agent wise, they
28:42
Speaker 2: picked up a lot of guys, not star players, but
28:44
Speaker 2: they spent a lot of money upgraded the quality of
28:47
Speaker 2: the roster overall. That's exactly what the Patriots just did.
28:51
Speaker 2: So the long and short of this is, your schedule matters.
28:56
Speaker 2: The divisions you play matter, if you're playing a last
29:00
Speaker 2: play schedule, all of that matters. The Commanders have a
29:03
Speaker 2: lot of those advantages this season. If you look at
29:06
Speaker 2: the Commanders going into this year, what's good about them? Well, one,
29:11
Speaker 2: I think they're just kind of out of sight, out
29:13
Speaker 2: of mind. They were five and twelve last season, very disappointing.
29:18
Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels didn't start ten games. He still only
29:22
Speaker 2: started seven. He missed ten starts due to injury and
29:26
Speaker 2: with them shutting him down. So what if Jaden Daniels,
29:31
Speaker 2: What if he's healthy this season? What if he plays
29:34
Speaker 2: the bulk of the season. What if he starts all
29:36
Speaker 2: seventeen games? Certainly possible. Well, you'd have to really like
29:41
Speaker 2: their chances to go over seven and a half wins.
29:44
Speaker 2: And also you start going down this road and it's like, well,
29:46
Speaker 2: what else about the Commanders is good?
29:48
Speaker 3: Well, they upgraded the defense.
29:50
Speaker 2: The defense was horrible last season, give him up yards
29:53
Speaker 2: left and right, points left and right. What do they
29:56
Speaker 2: do to upgrade the defense, Well, a couple of draft picks.
29:58
Speaker 2: They draft Sunny Stock Isles out of Ohio State. You
30:01
Speaker 2: need a linebacker, you gotta go young Bobby Wagner, still
30:04
Speaker 2: playing at a high level but was very old. To
30:07
Speaker 2: get Sunny Styles seventh overall pick. That should help the
30:10
Speaker 2: defense out. And you went in free agency. You got
30:13
Speaker 2: a lot of dudes. You upgraded the pass rush. You
30:16
Speaker 2: get Kylevon Chason, a Dafa, Aoway. You pick up some
30:20
Speaker 2: guys in the secondary, pick up some d linemen again
30:24
Speaker 2: not stars, not star studded, but a little tweak here,
30:27
Speaker 2: a little pick up there. You pick up chick at
30:30
Speaker 2: Conkwo at tight end. You get Jaden Daniels healthy. All
30:35
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's like, you know what, they can
30:37
Speaker 2: win eight games? They went twelve and five in his
30:40
Speaker 2: rookie season. They can't win eight games. I just I
30:45
Speaker 2: really like the Commanders. I think they are a team
30:48
Speaker 2: that's completely being slept on. I get some of the
30:51
Speaker 2: love for the Saints, but it's like all this stuff
30:55
Speaker 2: I'm hearing about Tyler Shuck. Did he win offensive Rookie
30:58
Speaker 2: of the Year. Was he named, No, he wasn't. That
31:01
Speaker 2: was tedronommill McMillan. Ted McMillan from the Panthers was the
31:06
Speaker 2: offensive rookie of the year. You know who is the
31:08
Speaker 2: offensive rookie of the year the year prior twenty twenty four,
31:11
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels Offensive Rookie of the Year, fantastic season as
31:16
Speaker 2: a rookie, and just because he's hurt last season. We're
31:19
Speaker 2: just completely against the Washington Commanders, no belief in them,
31:23
Speaker 2: not buying them.
31:24
Speaker 3: I'm buying them.
31:26
Speaker 2: I think the Washington Commanders over seven and a half wins.
31:30
Speaker 2: I think that is a very very good play. I
31:33
Speaker 2: think it makes a ton of sense. So, yeah, that's
31:36
Speaker 2: something I absolutely have on my radar. I will I
31:40
Speaker 2: will apologize to the militia for back in twenty twenty
31:44
Speaker 2: four and they're playing the NFC South. No wait, they're
31:47
Speaker 2: playing the Yeah, the NFC South twenty five. That had
31:51
Speaker 2: to be one of the most confusing segments in radio history.
31:57
Speaker 2: But all you need to take away, I like the
32:01
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders a lot. Over seven and a half wins,
32:04
Speaker 2: I think that is a I think it's a pretty
32:07
Speaker 2: good play. I've been high on the other team I've
32:10
Speaker 2: been high on, and I've actually bet this. I bet
32:12
Speaker 2: this months ago. I bet it along with Jalen Duran
32:16
Speaker 2: under points and rebounds in a random Pistons playoff game.
32:20
Speaker 2: I already parlayed it with the Lions over ten and
32:24
Speaker 2: a half wins. I love the Lions over ten and
32:27
Speaker 2: a half wins this season. Their schedule is so much
32:32
Speaker 2: more favorable this season than it was last season.
32:35
Speaker 3: It was Murderer's Row on the road.
32:39
Speaker 2: I think their offensive line will be better as well
32:41
Speaker 2: from this year compared to last year. So for those reasons,
32:46
Speaker 2: I really really really like the Detroit Lions this season.
32:50
Speaker 2: They're three unique games. Tell me if this is favorable
32:53
Speaker 2: or not. At the Cardinals hosting the Titans hosting the Giants.
33:00
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
33:01
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, they play the NFC South
33:04
Speaker 2: top to bottom and the AFC East top to bottom.
33:08
Speaker 2: Maybe the Patriots take a step back. My poor Dolphins suck.
33:12
Speaker 2: The Jets suck. You got one quality team right now
33:16
Speaker 2: with the Bills, maybe two with the Patriots, but you
33:20
Speaker 2: get two very favorable matchups against Dolphins.
33:23
Speaker 3: And the Jets.
33:24
Speaker 2: Oh, I really really like the Lions this season, I
33:27
Speaker 2: think they're gonna have a resurgence. I think that was
33:31
Speaker 2: a one year speed bump. I think they're back. I
33:35
Speaker 2: think they're back in twenty twenty six. So those would
33:37
Speaker 2: be a couple of overs. Commanders over seven and a half,
33:42
Speaker 2: Lions over ten and a half. I do like the
33:44
Speaker 2: Niners under ten and a half. Their schedule is a
33:47
Speaker 2: lot more difficult. They had a cake cake cake schedule
33:51
Speaker 2: last season. All of our attention was on the Patriots.
33:55
Speaker 2: The Patriots cake schedule was easier than the Niner cake schedule,
34:00
Speaker 2: but it distracted us from remembering that the Patriots that
34:04
Speaker 2: the Niners loaded up on a lot.
34:06
Speaker 3: Of cream puffs, not all. Now they're still playing against
34:10
Speaker 3: the Seahawks and Rams twice a year. I'm not saying the.
34:12
Speaker 2: Whole thing was cake, but there are a lot of
34:15
Speaker 2: cake on that schedule, man, and it's tougher this year.
34:17
Speaker 2: So I think Niners under ten and a half. I
34:20
Speaker 2: think that's a good play as well. If you're looking
34:22
Speaker 2: for an under, maybe you're an underbetter then don't love
34:24
Speaker 2: the overs. That's one to target, all right. Eight seven
34:27
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox is your number. Feel free
34:30
Speaker 2: to check in. I always love hearing from you, militia.
34:32
Speaker 2: I gotta get back to the militia here, and we
34:35
Speaker 2: got a couple that want to check in, So I
34:37
Speaker 2: gotta stop blabbering as much as I am.
34:39
Speaker 3: Shorten it up over here, No, put a sock in
34:42
Speaker 3: it already, all right?
34:43
Speaker 2: Coming up next, man, this team is going for it,
34:47
Speaker 2: like really going for it, and tied to that, maybe
34:53

36:58
Speaker 3: Jonas Knox extended his goal call.

Speaker 6: his goal to finishing it.
37:06
Speaker 3: Okay, are you taking me? Are you taking Knocks? Is
37:11
Speaker 3: it no? Or Knox? Who's your money on? Oh?
37:15
Speaker 6: Boy, you know what. I'm gonna take you on this
37:20
Speaker 6: because you have more prep time on it.
37:22
Speaker 3: Oh, more prep time. I'm shocked.
37:26
Speaker 4: He's usually a Jonas mascot over here, so I'm shocked
37:30
Speaker 4: he went with you.
37:31
Speaker 3: Wow with Jonas mascot? How about you? What do you say, Lorena,
37:33
Speaker 3: who's your money on?
37:35
Speaker 4: Well, Jonas did say he used to be inquired, which
37:38
Speaker 4: is why he has incredible breath control. So even though
37:43
Speaker 4: I do know you, you can probably do some damage here.
37:49
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be team Jonas.
37:52
Speaker 2: So you know I could do some damage somehow, some way,
37:57
Speaker 2: And you're still going with Jonas. Yeah, hmm, okay, can
38:03
Speaker 2: you beat them?
38:04
Speaker 3: We will? We will find out.
38:06
Speaker 2: We're gonna do that in the final hour because uh,
38:09
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, we only have two and
38:12
Speaker 2: a half minutes. I might take that time up just
38:15
Speaker 2: yelling goal. I don't think that's enough time I needed least.
38:20
Speaker 2: I can you imagine he passed?
38:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's dead. He's dead. Actually had death on the air.
38:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll pay this off real fast.
38:35
Speaker 3: Let me pay off my you know, all this other stuff.
38:37
Speaker 2: Then we'll get to the goofy goal stuff. We'll have
38:39
Speaker 2: some fun with the goofy noss. I love goofy. So
38:43
Speaker 2: Lebron in the news, quick and painless. So the teams
38:48
Speaker 2: that are among the potential landing spots for Lebron, Warriors, Calves,
38:53
Speaker 2: heat you heard about all those teams entering the chat.
38:58
Speaker 2: The Sixers Wait, what it just they traded for Jalen Brown.
39:03
Speaker 2: They're in the mix here, according to Schams Sharania, our guy,
39:06
Speaker 2: Schams says, the Sixers are also interested in acquiring Lebron James. Wow,
39:14
Speaker 2: this is a different offseason for Lebron. It's one that
39:17
Speaker 2: we've never seen before. Because all the good teams don't
39:20
Speaker 2: have money. The teams that have cap space, that was
39:25
Speaker 2: like before free agency started.
39:26
Speaker 3: We're talking nets the Bulls. He's not going there.
39:30
Speaker 2: He's going to one of these teams that really don't
39:32
Speaker 2: have much money, and so it could be really interesting
39:35
Speaker 2: to see where he lands. The other thing I was
39:37
Speaker 2: thinking about was that maybe the NBA isn't Lebron's farewell tour.
39:44
Speaker 3: Think about this. I don't have any information.
39:48
Speaker 2: This might be the worst take of all time, but
39:50
Speaker 2: it's something that just just open your mind to this. Right,
39:55
Speaker 2: we know that Lebron is coming back for a twenty
39:57
Speaker 2: fourth season. Do you think that he'll announce that this
40:01
Speaker 2: will be his last season? Because there's a chance he doesn't.
40:07
Speaker 2: He's still playing at a high level. And one thing
40:09
Speaker 2: to keep in mind is the twenty twenty eight Summer
40:13
Speaker 2: Olympics are in La. If he played two more NBA seasons,
40:21
Speaker 2: that second NBA season, that would be the farewell tour season?
40:26
Speaker 3: Rights is it? Is it gonna be it for me?
40:30
Speaker 2: And then the final final act is the twenty twenty
40:34
Speaker 2: eight Summer Olympics, Team USA win gold, American fleck Maybe
