  www.worldwidesportsradio.com. UFC 316 featured 5 different
• 2:37
  main event fights in three different weight classes on
• 2:40
  Saturday night. In the men's welterweight
• 2:43
  division, Kevin Holland defeated Vincent Luke by a second round
• 2:48
  submission. I can these are these UFC names
• 2:51
  are crazy. In the men's Bantam division,
• 2:53
  Mario Batista beat Patchy Patchy mix in four rounds by unanimous
• 2:59
  decision, his eighth consecutive win.
• 3:02
  In the men's middle weight division, Joe Pifer beat
• 3:07
  defeated Kelvin Gastelum. The last time I seen Gastelum
• 3:10
  fight a big fight was at it was at the IT was at the National
• 3:14
  Coliseum when he won the main event and he beat Chris Weidman.
• 3:17
  That was the last time I remember I'm.
• 3:19
  Pretty sure that's the last time he won.
• 3:21
  Yeah, and is now 5 and one in his last six fights.
• 3:26
  In the women's Bantam championship match, Kayla
• 3:28
  Harrison beat Julianna Pena with a second round submission.
• 3:33
  Harrison now joins Henry, I'm sorry, judo, judo as the only
• 3:40
  fighter to earn a Olympic gold medal and the UFC title in the
• 3:43
  same year. In the men's Bantam championship
• 3:45
  match, Merav the Machine beat Sean O'Malley with a third round
• 3:50
  submission. The Machine now has won thirteen
• 3:53
  straight UFC wins and hasn't lost a fight since 2018.
• 3:58
  I will first I'll get into the other fights really had no
• 4:02
  meaning and I'm not taking shots at any of the other fighters.
• 4:05
  Those fights. The Batista, Mario Batista is
• 4:08
  moving up in the divisions. We'll see how he you know how he
• 4:11
  competes against the better fighters in his division.
• 4:14
  He'd be patchy Nicks, he's not he's not a superstar fighter, so
• 4:19
  I'm not going to sit there and say that he is.
• 4:21
  The 2 fights that really stood out was obviously Kayla Harrison
• 4:25
  who has, has been an Olympic, Olympic champion and, and, and
• 4:28
  her, her thought your thoughts when you watch somebody like
• 4:31
  Kayla Harrison, it is, it's just a, a woman that's just been
• 4:36
  beating herself up to get to this spot, to get to the top.
• 4:40
  It took her so long and so many years to get a chance to fight
• 4:44
  for a championship and she finally got a chance.
• 4:46
  And what she has to do to train herself to get to that weight
• 4:51
  and lose that kind of weight. Remember, she walks.
• 4:54
  Did you see the before and after picture, like her face?
• 4:58
  Yeah, her face sunken in. And then like as she did it,
• 5:02
  it's. It's crazy.
• 5:04
  Like I I tried to do it one time because Chuck Liddell's a good
• 5:06
  friend of mine. And I was like, all right, I
• 5:10
  just want to do like, say you need to lose whatever.
• 5:12
  Like, I was like, I just let me see if I can do it, man.
• 5:17
  Those people are nuts. Like the things that they do to
• 5:21
  lose weight. And I'm like, I did it for like
• 5:25
  2 days and I'm like Nah, I'm good man.
• 5:29
  Like I'll let it go. And it's just, I mean, it's so
• 5:32
  hard, but they're so they're so trained to do it.
• 5:36
  It was I loved her calling Amanda Nunez out too.
• 5:40
  And Amanda's like, I'll come back for you.
• 5:41
  So that should. Be good so for everybody to know
• 5:44
  and I'll get into the whole Amanda Nunez situation because
• 5:46
  everybody knew if Kayla was going to win the fight, which a
• 5:49
  lot of people predict, Kayla was the better fighter.
• 5:52
  Julianus Pena is a great fighter.
• 5:54
  She's great ground fighter. She's a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
• 5:57
  superstar. She's won so many not a
• 5:59
  tournaments, but you're going against a girl that's bigger,
• 6:02
  stronger than you and and nobody thought she was going to get
• 6:05
  tapped out. Julianna Pena is a great ground
• 6:07
  fighter. She got tapped out by Kayla
• 6:09
  Harrison, who's a great wrestler, a world renowned
• 6:12
  wrestler. But what makes Kayla so
• 6:14
  interesting and so fun to watch is her personality.
• 6:17
  She hated Julian Pena and I know they're trying to sell they're
• 6:21
  trying to sell a product and that's what the UFC wants you to
• 6:23
  do. But they really disliked each
• 6:25
  other. And after the fight, the fact
• 6:27
  that Kayla went up there and, and Pena went up to her and, and
• 6:30
  gave her a kiss and, and hugged her and, and they were saying
• 6:33
  they're their peace and probably apologizing to each other.
• 6:37
  Honestly, Kayla went up there and she put on her best fight.
• 6:40
  She went out there, she showed you why she's a champion.
• 6:43
  She showed you why she worked and how she worked to get to the
• 6:47
  top. And anybody that doesn't
• 6:49
  understand how hard it is to cut from one 7172 to 135, you heard
• 6:56
  it from her. She said she's been for years.
• 6:59
  She's always dropped 3040 lbs and it's usually that 1 LB or 1
• 7:03
  1/2 lbs to drop was the hardest, hardest to to drop.
• 7:07
  And the fact and she said before that, before she did the weigh
• 7:10
  insurance, she still wasn't hitting that weight that she had
• 7:13
  to do other crazy things to draw herself to get that water out of
• 7:18
  her body so she could fight Pena.
• 7:21
  And I'll say this about Pena. She's a great champion.
• 7:23
  She came out and said obviously knowing that we know that Amanda
• 7:27
  Nunez is coming back to fight Kayla, Kayla Harrison.
• 7:30
  I think it's going to be a great fight.
• 7:31
  By the way, she said that she got next and that shows you the
• 7:35
  type of champion she is and how much she wants to be on top
• 7:38
  again. Now, the Amanda Nunez situation,
• 7:41
  I knew this was going to happen as soon as she was inducted to
• 7:44
  the UFC Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago.
• 7:48
  I knew she was feeling it. I knew she wanted to come back.
• 7:52
  She had something brewing and I know she went to Dana White
• 7:55
  after she was inducted into the Hall of Fame and told Dana, I
• 7:58
  want to come back. I still can do this.
• 7:59
  I could still be a top of the bantamweight.
• 8:01
  This is the only woman that's old.
• 8:03
  Two titles in the UFC, This is the only woman that didn't lose.
• 8:07
  I think she won like 6-6 years in a row, barely lost the fight
• 8:12
  after she beat some of the best fighters in the Bantam champion.
• 8:15
  You know, the bantamweight, you know, the Bantam class, so the
• 8:18
  bantamweight class. So I, I, I love what I've seen
• 8:21
  with Kayla Harrison and I think this will be the probably the
• 8:24
  better fight. I don't want to see Juliana Pena
• 8:27
  fight Amanda Nunez because I don't think that's going to be
• 8:29
  much of a fight. I think these two have, they're
• 8:32
  heavy hitters. Kayla Harrison's very strong.
• 8:35
  She's she's definitely capable of taking or taking down Amanda
• 8:39
  Nunes, who's a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specialist who has heavy
• 8:42
  hands, some of the heaviest hands and punches we've ever
• 8:45
  seen. A woman.
• 8:46
  I think she can knock out some of the men.
• 8:48
  So Amanda Nunes is going to get a chance to go back out there.
• 8:51
  But remember, when you step away from mixed martial arts, as long
• 8:55
  as Amanda Nunes has, it's been 3 1/2 years she's since she's been
• 8:59
  in the Octagon, That's a long time.
• 9:00
  It's like Conor McGregor wanting to come back and fight some of
• 9:04
  these guys that have been fighting for the last couple
• 9:05
  years. It's like you're asking to get
• 9:07
  beaten up. Now, I'm not saying Amanda Nunes
• 9:10
  is getting beaten up, but Kayla Harrison's no pushover.
• 9:14
  She's not one person that you can say, hey, I'm going to shove
• 9:16
  you and you're going to you're going to go down.
• 9:19
  This is a woman that's going to go at you.
• 9:21
  She's got a lot to prove. And like she said at the, you
• 9:25
  know, after the fight, she said that I'm I'm finally where I
• 9:28
  want to be. And for all the women and all
• 9:30
  the women that have had kids and that have structured their lives
• 9:33
  around their children and working their asses off, this is
• 9:36
  for you. That is something that you
• 9:39
  respect from a woman that's worked her ass off to get to the
• 9:42
  top of the USC. So congratulations to Kayla
• 9:45
  Harrison. Now, as far as Marab, I will say
• 9:49
  this. Marab is the best fighter the
• 9:52
  UFC has right now. You've heard it from me.
• 9:55
  Marab is the best UFC mixed martial artist in the UFC right
• 10:01
  now. It's not even close.
• 10:02
  And right now there he's third. He has thirteen wins in a row.
• 10:06
  I forget who has fifteen wins, but there's another I think in
• 10:09
  the the middle, the welterweight division, 170.
• 10:13
  I think he has, I always forget his name.
• 10:15
  He has fifteen wins in a row. So Murab has the second most
• 10:19
  wins in a row right now, consistently right now for the
• 10:23
  UFC. But going into the fight,
• 10:25
  anybody that thought sugar Shane O'Malley was going to have any
• 10:29
  shot in this fight. Yes, he put on some weight.
• 10:32
  Yes, he said he didn't have sex before the fight and for the for
• 10:35
  the last three weeks before the fight.
• 10:37
  Yes, he stopped eating crap and smoking weed.
• 10:39
  He came out and said that doesn't matter when you're
• 10:42
  fighting a guy that really is a machine that doesn't stop takes
• 10:46
  it to you is going to go after you has really corrected his
• 10:49
  boxing skills. This is a guy that is almost
• 10:52
  impossible to beat. Now, the engine that this guy
• 10:55
  has that he he he just, he goes after you throughout the fight.
• 11:00
  5 rounds, 4 rounds, 3 rounds, 2 rounds.
• 11:03
  He has a motor on him. That's why they call him the
• 11:04
  machine. This is the problem.
• 11:07
  Guys like Conor McGregor and all these other fighters, they could
• 11:10
  go the first two rounds and then they die out and they can't do
• 11:13
  anything against these wrestlers.
• 11:14
  This guy is one of the elite wrestlers the UFC has ever had.
• 11:18
  And as far as his ability to stand up and really beat you
• 11:23
  from the hip down, I don't think there's anybody better than him.
• 11:26
  I don't think we seen anybody better than him, Yes, and I'm
• 11:29
  talking about some of the best wrestlers we've seen in UFC
• 11:33
  history. One of them who's never lost and
• 11:36
  retired a couple of years ago over there in Russia, Ukraine.
• 11:40
  OK, We all know that these guys have the ability to be
• 11:44
  consistent, and wrestlers are the toughest guys in mixed
• 11:48
  martial arts. I don't care.
• 11:49
  You could be a boxer, you could be a Brazilian Jiu jitsu
• 11:52
  specialist, a judo. You can have kickboxing, you can
• 11:56
  have more time when you're a wrestler, when you are a guy
• 11:59
  that has a motor like this guy, he's not big dude.
• 12:02
  He's 5-6. He fought Sugar sugar O'Malley.
• 12:06
  O'Malley was like five, 11510. This guy's 5-6 and O'Malley
• 12:11
  couldn't stand still. He was moving all around a stand
• 12:15
  up fighter, a boxing style of fighter.
• 12:18
  He couldn't do anything against this guy, nothing.
• 12:21
  And remember, this guy's in his mid 30s.
• 12:24
  He's getting better now. He's he's getting getting better
• 12:27
  by the fight. Usually when you're young,
• 12:29
  O'Malley, he's like 28 years old.
• 12:32
  This guys 34 years old, 33 years old, he's in his mid 30s and
• 12:36
  usually they start to tail off. He's getting better.
• 12:39
  He's better. And by the way, this division,
• 12:43
  the bantamweight division right now in the UFC for for as far as
• 12:47
  the men's division is the best in the UFC.
• 12:50
  It's not even close. The welterweight, the middle
• 12:52
  weight, the heavyweight, this is the best division and there's
• 12:55
  nobody there's nobody. He's gone through some of the
• 12:58
  best UFC fighters in this division that you've the
• 13:02
  divisions ever had. Hall of Famers he went through.
• 13:06
  So it is pretty incredible what this guy is doing.
• 13:09
  Rob. There's a reason why they call
• 13:10
  him a machine and he is a machine.
• 13:12
  I don't know what they do with Sugar Shane O'Malley.
• 13:15
  I don't know who where he goes. I don't know who they match him
• 13:17
  up against because I've been saying this.
• 13:19
  I told you, Speedy, after this fight, after the fights on
• 13:23
  Saturday night, the the problem right now with the USC, they're
• 13:26
  trying to find a guy that is a crowd pleaser.
• 13:29
  O'Malley was a crowd pleaser. He couldn't even go out there
• 13:32
  after the fight. He had nothing to say.
• 13:34
  You know why? He got embarrassed in front of
• 13:36
  everybody. He got neck cranked.
• 13:38
  He got neck cranked by a guy that is not even a Brazilian Jiu
• 13:42
  jitsu artist. He's a wrestler.
• 13:44
  He cranked his neck and he put him like a neck crank
• 13:46
  guillotine. It was unbelievable.
• 13:48
  Congratulations to Marab, and by the way, Long Island native
• 13:52
  Marab, who's training out a year on Long Island in the Longo Jam.
• 13:55
  I got a chance to see him last month, train here in Long
• 13:58
  Island. This guy's a beast.
• 14:00
  He's such a nice dude. It couldn't, it couldn't fall
• 14:03
  better for anybody that we've seen come out of Long Island,
• 14:06
  New York. Yeah, Jolla.
• 14:10
  Oh yeah, no, I mean, you kind of touched on all I it's literally
• 14:13
  like those guys are built different.
• 14:16
  And when you see like guys in their 30s and getting older, but
• 14:21
  they're getting better, it it just shows you the dedication
• 14:25
  that they have. And like with with these guys
• 14:28
  that have grinded their whole life too, this is easy for them.
• 14:31
  And, you know, he got over here what like little over 10 years
• 14:35
  ago, I think, and has just gotten better every time.
• 14:41
  And, you know, being able to to say that is kind of one of those
• 14:46
  lost arts because usually it's like, OK, Father Time wins.
• 14:49
  But you know, now he's getting better.
• 14:51
  And and look, it he beat him on something that's he's good at
• 14:57
  because you have to be in this sport.
• 15:00
  But it's not his cup of tea. And it just shows you the vast
• 15:04
  range of how now he's just getting better and expanding
• 15:07
  what he was already good at. So his fights are always
• 15:11
  entertaining. I've loved watching them.
• 15:15
  I'm, I'm excited. Girls fight.
• 15:18
  I think it'll be really, really fun.
• 15:20
  But Jabe, it's not just that he's beating these guys, he's
• 15:23
  kicking the crap out of him. You'd be.
• 15:25
  Winning. Oh yeah, I mean.
• 15:26
  He's knocking them out, he's choking them out, he's out
• 15:29
  fighting them, he's out beating them all the way to the ground.
• 15:32
  And this is the And by the way, he is the.
• 15:34
  This wasn't it wasn't a close fight, by the way, but.
• 15:36
  It never is not against this guy.
• 15:38
  The guy hasn't lost. I'm bringing up his record right
• 15:41
  now. The guy hasn't lost and I'm
• 15:43
  bringing it up. It was November 1st, 1st, 2014.
• 15:48
  That was the last time this guy has lost the fight.
• 15:51
  Oh, I'm sorry. No, that's that's wrong.
• 15:52
  April 21st, 2018 was his last fight, Ricky Simone.
• 15:56
  That was the last time he lost the fight and that that fight
• 15:59
  really got caught. But nevertheless, the guy's lost
• 16:03
  two fights since 2014. I mean, he's been practically
• 16:06
  impossible to beat any like I said, ever since he's gone to
• 16:10
  Longo's gym, he's been a different fighter and, and, and
• 16:13
  it's crazy. Longo's had three champions come
• 16:15
  out of his gym in the last 7 or 8, eight years, I'm sorry, not
• 16:20
  7-8 years, 10 years with Weidman, obviously.
• 16:23
  Now you have Marab and his counter partner over there who
• 16:27
  you know, his is now selling houses in real estate here in
• 16:30
  Long Island who likes to show his face.
• 16:32
  So it's great. They but you did you see two
• 16:35
  like of his decisions, like 90% are decisions and now he's just
• 16:40
  he's that's why that's why I said he's expanding and now
• 16:43
  knocking people out in submissions.
• 16:44
  He only has three by knockout and two by submission.
• 16:48
  So everything and that just that that was my point.
• 16:51
  I'm saying it was like. Most UFC fights, especially in
• 16:53
  the bantamweight, if you're not, if it's not obviously O'Malley,
• 16:57
  they they usually end up unanimously or you're going to
• 17:00
  choke him out or beat him in submission.
• 17:02
  When you see a guy unanimously win a fight, that's domination.
• 17:06
  Where you're unanimously winning a fight, that's absolute
• 17:10
  domination. And if you look at the fighters
• 17:13
  that he's beaten, I mean, I would say about five of them are
• 17:16
  Hall of Farmers. Five of them are going to be
• 17:18
  Hall of Farmers, Jose, Aldo, Yan.
• 17:21
  But these guys, that's just three or four of them that are
• 17:24
  Hall of Farmers or automatically when they retire, they're going
• 17:27
  into the UFC Hall of Fame. This guy is the best fighter the
• 17:30
  UFC has to provide right now. It's not even close.
• 17:33
  I don't want to hear any more about it.
• 17:34
  This guy's the best fighter in the UFC.
• 17:36
  I think you're perfectly right on that arrow.
• 17:38
  I mean, morale, it's it's insane.
• 17:39
  Like he he just continues to get better and better as he ages.
• 17:43
  Like fine wine. I mean, you just mentioned it.
• 17:45
  I mean the the last six people he he's defeated Jose Aldo,
• 17:49
  Piotr Yan, Harry Saluto, Sean O'Malley twice and Umar Nomega
• 17:53
  Madoff. And always messed up his news
• 17:55
  too. I hate that.
• 17:56
  It was, you know, it was so dominant.
• 17:57
  I mean, I was watching the the main event and I will say this,
• 18:00
  I I think you're being a little hard on Sean O'Malley.
• 18:02
  I think he did do a, he did a little bit better.
• 18:04
  In the previous. Fight and look.
• 18:06
  I think after he got taken down, he slipped on that head kick
• 18:09
  attempt on Merab. It kind of went all downhill
• 18:12
  after that because when it got to like ground two and three, he
• 18:14
  was gassed out By that point, you could see into Merab's
• 18:17
  corner. He was smiling, laughing.
• 18:18
  His coaches were telling him to sit down and breathe and he gave
• 18:21
  him the the good old thumbs up like he was ready to go.
• 18:23
  He was ready for the next round. And he absolutely just dominated
• 18:26
  Sean O'Malley with and then, you know, even at the end with that
• 18:28
  ninja choke, I was impressive because like you said, Rob, he
• 18:31
  kind of it's. A neck crate?
• 18:32
  What? Happens.
• 18:33
  Is or neck? Yeah, NS ninja choke.
• 18:35
  But anyway, what? You do was.
• 18:37
  Just like originally. Like you said, he just wears
• 18:40
  guys down, but it seems like now he's looking more for finishes.
• 18:43
  He's trying to end fights quickly and just, you know, put
• 18:46
  instill his his will on guys. And you know, Sean, it's a shame
• 18:50
  because he just looked wiped out there.
• 18:52
  And, and personally, I'm not sure.
• 18:53
  Like you said, I think personally for O'Malley, the
• 18:55
  only thing for him to do is to move up to featherweight.
• 18:58
  And I know going from a Rob to Volcanovsky is not exactly the
• 19:00
  greatest substitute to do, but, you know, it seems kind of like
• 19:05
  in a way where Volcanovsky for Max Holloway, Volcanovsky was
• 19:09
  his kryptonite for Sean O'Malley.
• 19:11
  That's two brutal losses now to Murab.
• 19:13
  I don't think you can get past them.
• 19:14
  And you know, there's plenty of guys waiting in the wings.
• 19:16
  Piotr Yan, Corey, Sanhagan, Young So Dong and I think for
• 19:21
  O'Malley, unless he can fit, you know, figure something out with
• 19:24
  San Hagan is gonna be Freddio. San Hagan's gonna hit.
• 19:27
  Mardio, like you said, like he's the most dominant, he does not
• 19:31
  get tired. So that's the most impressive
• 19:32
  thing about. That's the hardest thing with
• 19:35
  mixed martial. Art.
• 19:36
  Oh yeah, no. It's the most.
• 19:37
  Important. It's amazing he he doesn't get
• 19:39
  it's almost like Tony Ferguson in his prime, but like on
• 19:43
  steroids like. Oh, don't you bring up Tony
• 19:45
  Ferg. What is up with you?
• 19:46
  You got you're an O'Malley lover and now you're Tony Ferguson.
• 19:49
  This guy, he's going to attack him and his.
• 19:53
  Kids back in it's Tony's prime when he was the boogeyman and he
• 19:56
  just stopped him before he fought Justin Gaichie.
• 19:59
  And then it's like, it just seems like morale like you say
• 20:01
  he gets better and better and he's fought Hall of Famer after
• 20:04
  Hall of Famer. And you know, I don't I don't
• 20:06
  really know who can to me, the only guy who stands a chance in
• 20:09
  the bantamweight division and gets him is Pyotr Yan just
• 20:11
  because Pyotr Yan is is a baller and he can he can last a long
• 20:14
  time as well. I don't think with the striking
• 20:16
  and the and the wrestling combination, but.
• 20:19
  I think, I think Marab, honestly, he might retire with
• 20:22
  the title, he might lay it down and no one might ever.
• 20:24
  I think what the UFC is going to do with Marab now is he's going
• 20:27
  to let, I think Dana White knows that there's nobody else for him
• 20:31
  to beat now they're, they're eventually they'll put him
• 20:33
  against Peter Young again if he gets a chance, an opportunity to
• 20:36
  fight there. I, I, I do think and I, I agree
• 20:39
  with you, but I, I look at the neck crank and, and what was so
• 20:42
  impressive about that chokehold was how he set him up.
• 20:46
  He set him up. He was his, his back was against
• 20:49
  the gate. His back was, he turned him
• 20:51
  around and made him go. He, he made him go flat.
• 20:55
  And when he did that, he put his body, he cranked his arm under
• 20:59
  his neck and he laid flat on his neck.
• 21:01
  And while he was trying to squirm and trying to control his
• 21:04
  wrist, he kept cranking it even deeper.
• 21:07
  I knew as soon as he got, he got that arm around his neck.
• 21:10
  There was no way he was going to get out of that.
• 21:12
  And it was like a minute and 50 seconds left of the round.
• 21:16
  There was no way a guy like Sugar or Sugar O'Malley was
• 21:19
  going to come out of that. It wasn't going to happen.
• 21:21
  It, it was it was insane because Merab had O'Malley.
• 21:24
  He had him pushed up against the cage.
• 21:25
  He was looking for that takedown and O'Malley was defending it.
• 21:28
  And then he finally worked up to a base and then Merab picked him
• 21:31
  right back up, threw him right back down on the ground.
• 21:32
  Like literally he he had four different takedowns right before
• 21:35
  that final sequence in that choke.
• 21:37
  And it just Sean, like you could see it right before he Merab
• 21:41
  locked his arms around his neck. He was done.
• 21:43
  He was just wiped. I I also think that obviously
• 21:46
  when you look at the, the ability that Murab has that
• 21:48
  other people don't have, there's not many fighters.
• 21:50
  If you remember Clay Guida, he was a guy that had a great motor
• 21:54
  and and that was that was what was impressive.
• 21:57
  Clay Guida, these wrestlers, Randy Couture, another guy that
• 22:00
  had great motor. These guys are guys that
• 22:03
  obviously Henderson Henderson had a great motor.
• 22:06
  All these Greco Roman wrestlers, these wrestlers, they all have
• 22:10
  great motors. And when you have the the
• 22:12
  advantage that you have against guys like Sugar O'Malley, who
• 22:15
  who's come out and said that he trained the hardest he's ever
• 22:17
  trained and he's worked as hard as he's ever worked, it doesn't
• 22:20
  really matter when you're facing guys that are just better than
• 22:23
  you are. And that's what he is.
• 22:25
  He's just a he's just a better overall fighter than you are.
• 22:28
  And now the UFC is going to have to figure out what they do with
• 22:30
  O'Malley. And O'Malley is going to have to
• 22:31
  decide what he wants to do as AUFC fighter.
• 22:35
  Does he either walk out, you know, walk away from this
• 22:37
  division and move up and maybe, you know, compete against
• 22:41
  Volkenowski or maybe one of those guys, one of the better
• 22:43
  fighters in that division, which by the way, that's a dying
• 22:46
  division, too. That division is getting old.
• 22:48
  And now you're trying to figure out what that next division is.
• 22:51
  And the UFC is trying to make the middle weight division a
• 22:54
  little bit more competitive and trying to get some of these
• 22:56
  older guys to move up and wait so they can compete against some
• 22:59
  of the young dogs that they want to become superstars.
• 23:02
  So it's going to be very interesting how the UFC and Dana
• 23:05
  White works this and how he's going to promote the next new
• 23:08
  coming fighters moving forward. Morab is 3334 years old.
• 23:13
  He's not getting any younger. But yeah, so he's not getting
• 23:16
  any younger. He's middle age.
• 23:17
  I, I do believe Murab has another like 5 fights left in,
• 23:21
  in him. I think he wants to make money.
• 23:23
  This O'Malley fight is the most money he's ever made.
• 23:25
  I think he's making, I think he made about $250,000 off this
• 23:29
  fight. And, and, and O'Malley made a
• 23:31
  lot of money. O'Malley made almost $1,000,000
• 23:33
  off this fight. Now you're looking at this is
• 23:36
  the champion. This guy's the best fighter the
• 23:37
  UFC has to provide. Now it's time for the UFC to pay
• 23:40
  this guy to go out there and put on a show.
• 23:42
  And he's putting on show after show after show.
• 23:45
  And it was a great, it was actually a lot better than I
• 23:47
  thought, this card. But nothing, nothing to me has
• 23:51
  ever come close to the card that was in December with all the the
• 23:55
  the big names that were on that card last year.
• 23:57
  So I want to see the UFC cards back-to-back cards that really
• 24:02
  sting people to want to go out there and spend $6570 for a
• 24:06
  pay-per-view. And I think right now they don't
• 24:08
  have enough superstars to do it. And again.
• 24:11
  I mean, I, I will say, I think that this summer there are going
• 24:14
  to be a lot of exciting cards. I think a lot of people are
• 24:17
  really excited for 3/17. Obviously, we're going to get
• 24:19
  the, the highly anticipated matchup between Charles Olivera
• 24:21
  and Elliot Zaporia. I think the US, especially Dana
• 24:23
  White, they want Elliot Zaporia to be their star.
• 24:26
  Obviously he was that a featherweight division knocking
• 24:28
  out Alexander Vulkanowski and Max Holloway.
• 24:31
  But you know, he, he, he was tired of cutting 145 and he
• 24:34
  wanted to move up to 155. And now lightweight just gets
• 24:36
  more bulked up. Obviously, I think lightweight
• 24:38
  is probably the most loaded and stacked division, but it is full
• 24:42
  of a lot of older veterans. You know, you have guys like
• 24:45
  Justin Gagey, you have Dustin Poirier who's ready to have his
• 24:48
  last fight very soon. I.
• 24:49
  Think Gagey is going to be walking away soon too?
• 24:52
  I think so, yeah. But you have, you have just, you
• 24:54
  know, you have Dustin Poirier, you have Charles Oliveira,
• 24:57
  who's, you know, he's getting up there in age, you know, probably
• 24:59
  has a couple more fights. This might be his last shot at
• 25:01
  the title, you know. And I I know they think they
• 25:03
  wanted Armin Saruki and to try to push to be that guy, but he's
• 25:06
  had a couple of pull outs. And I think Dana and UFC are
• 25:09
  sick of his antics. So, you know, I think they're
• 25:11
  very, they're really hoping that Iliate Zaporia takes over this
• 25:13
  division and becomes their next big star.
• 25:15
  He's a pretty boy. He's a pretty boy.
• 25:18
  We're in a very strange transition right now because
• 25:20
  over the last couple fights, over the last big paper views,
• 25:23
  we've lost a lot of champions. The only guys who've been
• 25:26
  champion for a while has been Alexander Pantoja and Islam
• 25:29
  Makachev. You know, we've lost, you know,
• 25:31
  obviously Murab, he defeated Sean O'Malley recently.
• 25:33
  Alexander Volkanovsky got his belt back after Iliad Zaporia
• 25:36
  vacated his title. Who else was Mega Man I?
• 25:41
  Goliath defeated Alex Pereira, probably their biggest draw that
• 25:44
  they had. And, you know, they're going to
• 25:45
  try to build him up. But I think they, I think Dana
• 25:47
  White definitely wants to see Pereira, you know, squeeze
• 25:50
  whatever he has left out of his career.
• 25:51
  And him losing the title wasn't great for them.
• 25:53
  You know, Jack della Manteleta, I think probably a little bit
• 25:56
  more of a interesting fighter than Bilal Decision, Merchant
• 26:00
  Muhammad, you know, I think they were definitely happy about
• 26:03
  that. But again, there's a lot of new
• 26:04
  champions, so they need new blood and new guys to.
• 26:06
  Step up and the. Problem Rob should be their
• 26:09
  focus. He is.
• 26:10
  He's going to be their focus. And again, if Murab continue,
• 26:13
  continues to dominate the bantamweight division, does
• 26:16
  Murab move up? Does he, does he challenge a
• 26:19
  Volcanowski? Who?
• 26:20
  I think that would be a great fight.
• 26:21
  Volcanowski and Murab 2 guys I. Think it would be a fan.
• 26:25
  I don't think he wants to fight goal because they're but I it
• 26:27
  would be a fantastic. It would be a great fight match
• 26:30
  up very well against each other. Both great wrestlers, takedown
• 26:33
  talent, both have motors. Both guys don't really give
• 26:37
  anything up in in in the middle of the ring or the Octagon.
• 26:40
  I think both guys could quite capably be double double
• 26:45
  champions in in multiple divisions.
• 26:47
  Volkanowski is also getting old too.
• 26:49
  He's like 38 years old. How much does he have left?
• 26:52
  So that's. The thing?
• 26:53
  I think after this title run it will probably be the end of
• 26:56
  Okonowski. I think he got his title back
• 26:58
  down. He's probably going to ride this
• 26:59
  out till he is defeated again. They're going to put.
• 27:03
  Him against garbage right now. I I think Volkanowski's next one
• 27:07
  or two fights, they're going to try to build it up until they
• 27:09
  put him against one of these big name guys.
• 27:11
  I think his, I think his next guy, his next challenge is
• 27:14
  probably going to be Mossfar Evala or probably Yair
• 27:16
  Rodriguez. You know I.
• 27:18
  Bet Yair gets it. I bet Yair gets it first.
• 27:20
  So over. It yeah, I mean, there is a
• 27:22
  chance you could maybe throw into Max Highway, but then he's
• 27:25
  fighting Dustin Poirier in his in his retirement fight at I
• 27:28
  think UFC 3. 18 I want to. Finish up, you know.
• 27:30
  You mentioned Yarir Rodriguez, who won his fight, just
• 27:33
  absolutely dominated the last fight.
• 27:35
  And I know everybody thinks that this would be a great fight.
• 27:38
  Yarir Rodriguez, he disappears in fights.
• 27:41
  He's either puts on these unbelievable fights or then he
• 27:44
  just completely disappears. His last three fights, 2 out of
• 27:47
  the last three fights, he doesn't he he doesn't fight
• 27:50
  consistently. And that's the problem right
• 27:52
  now. And I think mixed martial arts
• 27:54
  in the UFC need to get a guy that's consistent.
• 27:57
  And that's why Murab and and and why he's going to be such a
• 28:00
  superstar moving forward. You have Jon Jones not wanting
• 28:03
  to fight spin all now he wants to fight spin all and because
• 28:06
  everybody's trying to fight for his vacancy of his number.
• 28:08
  And we're going to get into that just one second because that's
• 28:11
  going to be my Golf Club. But I, I will say this, as far
• 28:14
  as I'm concerned, the UFC has a lot of problems and a lot of
• 28:17
  decisions to make because there there is no young superstar
• 28:21
  right now in the UFC. There are a bunch of middle-aged
• 28:24
  guys trying to figure out where should they be in the division
• 28:28
  and where they can go in the division.
• 28:31
  And Marab right now is one of those guys that you can honestly
• 28:33
  say that at 33. I think, I think the youngest
• 28:36
  guy they have that has a lot of pedigree right now is either
• 28:39
  Pantoja or Islam Makachev. And Makachev obviously does have
• 28:43
  that pole as a star. But Pantoja, you know, obviously
• 28:46
  at the Flyaway division, it's, it's not as deep.
• 28:48
  So you know it, it doesn't really, you know, it doesn't
• 28:50
  have that drawl. It's like you say.
• 28:51
  And Marab should be their focus. And you know, obviously we all
• 28:55
  know John Jones. I know.
• 28:56
  Look, I respect everything John has done, but I am so sick of
• 28:59
  him ducking Tom Aspinal. It's the fight that everybody
• 29:02
  wants to see that if you want to talk about numbers, that is the
• 29:05
  card to book. I hope it happens at the end of
• 29:07
  the year in. December, I'm going to talk.
• 29:09
  About it, I hope. I hope so.
• 29:10
  I hope John doesn't some. Oh, I don't.
• 29:13
  I'm better than this. I don't need it because I need
• 29:15
  to see that fight. I think the world needs to see
• 29:17
  that. It's it's going to happen.
• 29:19
  The problem is, is John Jones going to pay aspinol off?
• 29:22
  Because I think the last two fights John Jones has had, to
• 29:27
  me, it's it's I'm starting to believe that the UFC is like
• 29:31
  every other sport, it's all about buying and, and putting
• 29:34
  Fanny's in the seats and letting their champion rise up on the
• 29:37
  occasion. I don't want to see Jon Jones go
• 29:40
  into a fight and where he just completely dominates until, you
• 29:43
  know, in the first, first, first to second round and then he
• 29:46
  usually knocks him out. I want to see a fight that's
• 29:48
  going to go down and it's going to go down 3-4, maybe even 5
• 29:52
  rounds and take it to the end. That's what I want to see.
• 29:54
  But we haven't seen that with Jon Jones really since he's come
• 29:56
  back and and taking over the heavy weight division.
• 29:59
  By the way, he looks fat as ever the guy does.
• 30:01
  Not I will. I will say this though too.
• 30:03
  I do. I respect the steep MI Yochich
• 30:04
  but he should not have gotten a title shot four years off of a
• 30:07
  layoffs and being like pretty much kind of pseudo retired
• 30:10
  after losing to Francis Nagano. Like I understand they wanted to
• 30:13
  do Jones and Steep A and that probably would have been a great
• 30:16
  fight probably 3 or 4 years prior to when it actually
• 30:19
  happened. But like you said, I mean, John
• 30:22
  kind of just dominated Steve by Steve by looked like he was he
• 30:24
  was done. He was he wasn't ready to be a
• 30:26
  fighter anymore. It was just for a payout.
• 30:27
  It was all a payout. And like in the UFC1.
• 30:30
  Yeah. And like, yeah, he he literally
• 30:31
  went back to being a fireman. Well, that's what he is.
• 30:34
  Yeah. That's what he is, Yeah, But
• 30:36
  you? Know the Tom Aspinal and Jon
• 30:38
  Jones is the fight that needs to happen like to me the most
• 30:40
  second thing is Tom has had to had to pretty much put up with
• 30:43
  Jones antics in defending his interim title.
• 30:46
  I mean, an interim title is for when the lineal champion is
• 30:50
  unable to compete. And So what happens next is that
• 30:53
  you come back ready and you fight the interim champion to
• 30:55
  declare the undisputed champion. And honestly, if it doesn't
• 30:58
  happen, I, I, I don't really know what to say about Jon Jones
• 31:01
  to me. I mean, it's just, I'm just so
• 31:03
  sick of it. I need to see that fight.
• 31:04
  But you know I. Hope how many and how many
• 31:07
  chances is he going to get? He tests positive all the time
• 31:10
  he does this. He right, all the all the all
• 31:12
  the antics with Daniel Cormier and I mean, you know, he beat
• 31:15
  DC, but you know, a lot of people still hold that against
• 31:17
  John and say that like, you know, it wasn't clean.
• 31:19
  It wasn't it. Wasn't that's that's.
• 31:20
  Mixed martial arts, every, every champion and you've seen over
• 31:24
  the last couple of years, we're doing some kind of steroid or
• 31:27
  something to cut weight. It's not easy to cut weight in
• 31:30
  every single weight class and even to put weight on.
• 31:32
  The reason why John Jones was doing steroids is he was putting
• 31:35
  weight on. He put on 30 lbs of muscle.
• 31:38
  How do you think you put on 30 lbs of muscle and then put the
• 31:40
  fat on to fight against some of these bigger, stronger guys?
• 31:44
  I think John Jon Jones is is going to fight Aspinall and
• 31:47
  that's what my golf clubs going to be in just a few moments.
• 31:50
  I just think that the UFC has been wanting that.
• 31:53
  I don't think it's only a Jon Jones.
• 31:55
  I think it's I think it's Dana White picking the right card to
• 31:58
  put them on and where they're going to put them where it's
• 32:00
  going to sell out, which it will.
• 32:02
  And it's going to bring in more sponsorships and more
• 32:05
  advertisements for money for them to bring in the big box.
• 32:08
  And I think it's going to happen a lot sooner than later.
• 32:10
  I think it's going to be sometime in October, November,
• 32:12
  but. I think they I think they were
• 32:14
  shooting for International Fight Week, which was this and the
• 32:18
  end. No, it was the end of June
• 32:19
  pay-per-view. It was, but they ended up
• 32:20
  deciding on Iliad Taporia and and at Charles Olivera, which
• 32:24
  will be a great fight. But obviously John's, you know,
• 32:26
  something about he needs six months to train for this fight
• 32:29
  against Aspinal. But you know, well, we'll see
• 32:31
  what he's the champion. I hope it happens today.
• 32:33
  I hope we don't have to wait till next year.
• 32:35
  That's all I hope. The champion is the one that
• 32:38
  chooses when he wants to fight and and hopefully Jon Jones puts
• 32:41
  on a good fight and and shows everybody why he, some people
• 32:45
  say is the greatest champion the UFC has ever had.
• 32:48
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, our golf clap of the day.
• 32:52
  This deserves a golf clap. No doubt.
• 32:55
  Golf clap. Golf clap And Speaking of the
• 33:00
  UFC our golf clap of the day goes to this John Jones and
• 33:05
  aspinal story which is a growing legs in the MMA community at
• 33:10
  large has seemingly grown tired of this lengthy wait for Jones
• 33:15
  and Aspinall to have their long-awaited title unification
• 33:19
  clash so much that change dot organization or online petition
• 33:26
  a strip for Jones's title heavyweight title and has been
• 33:29
  created and signed by nearly 200,000 people that after the
• 33:35
  fight that just happened UFC 316 Dana Dwight was approached by
• 33:40
  the press before they even got into Marab and his dominance and
• 33:44
  they asked him what's going on with Jon Jones and Aspinall and
• 33:48
  he said Jon Jones finally agreed to fight Aspinall at the end of
• 33:53
  this year. So ladies and gentlemen, finally
• 33:56
  the UFC is going to get the heavyweight that the heavyweight
• 34:00
  championship that everybody wants to see that we were just I
• 34:02
  just was going back and forth with Jake.
• 34:05
  I I think this is going to be this is definitely going to
• 34:07
  happen. I think it's going to be
• 34:08
  somewhere between October and November.
• 34:10
  UFC 319, maybe 320. I think that's where it's going
• 34:15
  to happen. Maybe 320 because it makes it
• 34:17
  rounds it off to a good number at the end of the year.
• 34:20
  But I I absolutely believe it's going to happen.
• 34:23
  So my Golf Club of the day goes to the UFC sensational UFC316
• 34:29
  with Marab and now Jon Jones and Aspinall happening as Dana White
• 34:35
  right, has come out and said he agreed to it.
• 34:37
  So clap clap. Got a day John Jones.
• 34:42
  That was like my my my weird language of some kind.
• 34:47
  I don't know. You're trying to go for the
• 34:48
  hybrid accent. I don't know what it is.
• 34:50
  I am a little tired. I've been dealing with, I don't
• 34:53
  know if anybody knows what tonsillitis is, but it's like
• 34:56
  pus coming out of your tonsils and I've been dealing with it.
• 35:00
  I've been on heavy steroids for the last really week and and on
• 35:05
  2000 milligrams of antibiotics and how I'd get through these
• 35:09
  shows is beyond me. But nevertheless, I'm the I'm
• 35:12
  proud of myself. I give the energy I can for the
• 35:15
  show and I do what I have to do to make the show, you know,
• 35:18
  stand out from all the rest and and all the guys really help me
• 35:20
  out. Speedy Jabba, the one and only
• 35:23
  fish scoops and Jake, you know what?
• 35:26
  Jake gave us a good Jake thank you, Jake for giving me a
• 35:30
  counter partner with mixed martial arts.
• 35:32
  I love it. I love it.
• 35:33
  I love when the kids come out and.
• 35:35
  Yeah, I didn't. I didn't say anything cool.
• 35:37
  All right, you. Know what?
• 35:38
  I was so impressed, Darrell, that I decided that we have to
• 35:42
  use Jake as our pronouncer because guess what?
• 35:46
  We're staying with the UFC for one more segment.
• 35:48
  Oh yeah. No.
• 35:49
  Sound it out, there we go. Oh yeah.
• 35:52
  Take a roll here, Jay Quelin. Where's Jay Quelin at?
• 35:54
  No Jay Quelin here. Do you mean Jacqueline?
• 35:57
  Let's sound it out. What you call me?
• 36:00
  Sound it out out. All right, guys, you know the
• 36:04
  sound. It is sounded out phonic
• 36:06
  Shamonics. Errol's got it.
• 36:08
  Errol, you beat us bad for the first time ever last week.
• 36:12
  You got all three. I had to make it a little
• 36:15
  harder. I had a sneaking suspicion you
• 36:18
  would struggle with UFC names and now I know it's a fact.
• 36:21
  Are you ready to play? Sound.
• 36:23
  I struggle with all different names, not just hockey names or
• 36:27
  basketball names or even football names.
• 36:29
  UFC mixed martial arts names are horrible.
• 36:32
  Also, boxing is very, very hard. Some of these these foreign how
• 36:35
  I from Haiti and and Jamaica. Some of these names are just
• 36:39
  absolutely unbearably stupid. I don't even know their parents
• 36:43
  gave them how they got their last name.
• 36:45
  All right, go ahead. Let's go, Jake.
• 36:46
  Let's go. Let's go.
• 36:48
  Let's go. All right, there's the music.
• 36:49
  I'm embarrassing. Mike.
• 36:50
  Here's the first one. Jake will help us be the judge
• 36:53
  of the pronunciation. This one, everybody knows.
• 36:56
  Sound it out, Khabib. Everyone knows that part at
• 37:03
  least. Nomaga no Magado.
• 37:07
  No Magado. What?
• 37:10
  I am bad with names, man. What do you want me to say,
• 37:13
  Nagamov? I don't know.
• 37:15
  Not a Medoff. There it is.
• 37:17
  Yeah. So I think technically the first
• 37:20
  part, it's Habib. It's silent, but yeah, it's
• 37:22
  Habib Nurmagomedov. Nurmagomedov.
• 37:25
  Should be like Nurmagomedov Habib.
• 37:28
  Yeah, I've heard more DC in them that when they've been talking,
• 37:31
  it could be, I mean, obviously. DC.
• 37:35
  That's Habib Nurmagomedov all. Right.
• 37:38
  Oh, for one, Errol. Let's move it on.
• 37:41
  Music back on. He looks like he looks like he
• 37:45
  ate his child. I mean, seriously, I I love.
• 37:48
  By the way, I'm just kidding. By the way, DC, I'm just
• 37:51
  kidding. I don't want to get in the ring
• 37:53
  with that guy. I don't want, I don't think.
• 37:55
  That's a good idea. Here's the next guy you got.
• 37:57
  It pronounced though sounded. Out.
• 38:00
  Oh my God, are you kidding me? Nazerdeen Imamov.
• 38:06
  I I think you were close till the end there.
• 38:10
  Imamov, Jake. Thumbs up or thumb down?
• 38:13
  I actually, I think that was pretty good.
• 38:15
  I think it's Nasser, Dean Amaya, but that was pretty good.
• 38:18
  All right, all right, get a point here.
• 38:20
  I got a. .85% mass. That's a point up in New York
• 38:23
  State for. The Regents.
• 38:25
  Nice job. Let's move on.
• 38:27
  You. You.
• 38:27
  Idiot. One for two, can we get the
• 38:31
  music back on one more time for sounded out.
• 38:36
  Last one, all the marbles. Here it is sounded out.
• 38:42
  Are you? Are you kidding me?
• 38:45
  All right, abuse on Makamotov. Jake.
• 38:58
  No abuse peon. Abuse Peon Makamotov.
• 39:04
  I think it's abusion. MAGA Madoff Thick.
• 39:08
  That's not. That's not.
• 39:09
  His bad. It just sounds funny when I say
• 39:11
  it. Abuse mom.
• 39:15
  Well, he is abusive. I'm sure with everybody in the
• 39:18
  Octagon and maybe somebody. You may have found our sport
• 39:21
  with the craziest names they. Do one for the arrow at.
• 39:24
  Least at least you didn't get Shabkat Rachmanov.
• 39:27
  There it goes that. Well, I'll probably get that
• 39:29
  next time. Thank you.
• 39:32
  Guys, another great episode. Arrow one for three.
• 39:34
  That's a 330 batting average. That's All Star game any day of
• 39:37
  the week. Another great effort on.
• 39:39
  Sound it out. It's just edible in many
• 39:42
  different ways, let me tell you. And if it was a cheese, it would
• 39:46
  be something that I wouldn't be eating, that's for damn sure.
• 39:48
  Anyways, in court in the court case House versus the NCAA, a
• 39:54
  California judge ruled in favor of the house and passed a
• 39:59
  settlement that will allow schools to directly pay college
• 40:04
  athletes this settlement. Settlement will end three
• 40:07
  separate federal antitrust lawsuits that claim the NCAA
• 40:13
  limited how much college actually athletes can earn.
• 40:17
  The NCAA will now be forced to pay about 2.8 billion in damages
• 40:23
  over the next or the the last 10 years to any college athlete
• 40:29
  from 2016 to to to today involved in this lawsuit.
• 40:34
  The ruling also created a path for a third party and NIL deals,
• 40:39
  allowing deals of over $600.00 or more for all athletes.
• 40:45
  Starting July 1st, schools will be able to distribute 20.5
• 40:51
  million of NIL money to athletes in a deal that is going to be in
• 40:57
  place for 10 years. ESP NS Paul Finnebaum said that
• 41:02
  this ruling will cause the NCAA to be nothing more than a
• 41:07
  directors of sports schedules, schedules and tournaments and
• 41:12
  will have no other power anymore.
• 41:15
  He added that he is worried about how this policy will
• 41:19
  affect sports that don't generate as much revenue,
• 41:23
  particularly women's sports. He believes that the powerhouse
• 41:26
  schools like Alabama, Ohio State, Texas will still generate
• 41:31
  75% of the money into their football program and says that
• 41:36
  this policy won't level the playing field for smaller
• 41:39
  conferences and schools as much as people think.
• 41:43
  Well, I, I mean, obviously there's a, there's a whole
• 41:46
  mouthful over there and I'm sure, let's bring Nick in
• 41:49
  because I, I'm sure he has his thoughts because he's actually
• 41:52
  coaching college baseball. And it's, it's interesting.
• 41:56
  I, I think here and I, I will mute Nick.
• 41:59
  Nick, we're going to mute you here just for a second.
• 42:01
  I, I want to, I want to say something.
• 42:04
  The NCAA has been screwing players forever.
• 42:07
  I've been saying this over and over and over again.
• 42:10
  I've been fighting for this for the last nine years.
• 42:13
  I have been supportive on what the NCAA should have been doing
• 42:17
  for the last 20 years. There are players, there are
• 42:20
  kids that yes, they're getting full scholarships, but they,
• 42:23
  they can't afford to go out and eat.
• 42:25
  And there are teams that are making money off their name,
• 42:28
  jersey sales. Why shouldn't these players get
• 42:32
  a piece of that? And it's been a big problem as
• 42:34
  we've seen Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush is still not
• 42:37
  respected by the Heisman committee.
• 42:39
  Why? Because he obviously took money
• 42:41
  under the table to help his family out.
• 42:43
  To me, this is what the NCAA should have been doing forever.
• 42:48
  And again, if you are your own name and you are bringing in
• 42:52
  people to come and watch you play stadiums that sell out
• 42:56
  60,065 thousand, why should you get a piece of it now while now
• 43:01
  with this lawsuit and an opportunity for some of these
• 43:04
  players to get money that didn't make money in the 2016 time.
• 43:08
  This is good for those players because there are players that
• 43:11
  are not playing professional sports anymore.
• 43:13
  They're done. So they didn't make enough money
• 43:16
  playing college. I mean college football.
• 43:19
  And well, they didn't make any money playing college football
• 43:21
  And now they they went to the pros and they probably didn't
• 43:24
  have much of A pro career. As we know, the average NFL
• 43:27
  player, if you're not drafting in the 1st 4 rounds are playing
• 43:31
  no more than two to three years. So the fact, the fact is the end
• 43:35
  of the NCAA needs to find a way to protect and and give these
• 43:39
  players what they deserve. Their names stand for something.
• 43:42
  And again, I believe the NCAA, look at Johnny Manzel.
• 43:46
  Johnny Manzel was thrown to the wolves all those years that he
• 43:50
  was over there playing for Texas A&M.
• 43:52
  Yeah, he was a star quarterback. They didn't show up the
• 43:55
  practices. But guess what?
• 43:56
  His name, his name meant something as we all heard Nick
• 43:59
  Saban come out and say he's the best quarterback he's ever
• 44:02
  played against. And that says a lot about all
• 44:04
  the great quarterbacks he's played against and championships
• 44:07
  that he's won. So I just think this is great
• 44:10
  for the players. It's great for the players.
• 44:12
  Now, obviously the small schools, there's a lot of
• 44:15
  questions to that. There are smaller schools that
• 44:17
  are not bringing in as much money and it's not going to
• 44:20
  drive players to want to go play there.
• 44:21
  Why? Because obviously they're not a
• 44:24
  selling point. Ohio State, SA selling point,
• 44:26
  Alabama, Georgia, the big schools, the SEC schools, the
• 44:30
  PAC 12 schools, the Big 10 schools.
• 44:33
  Those are obviously the schools you want to play for, not these
• 44:36
  small aligned schools like Wyoming that you're, you know,
• 44:39
  we have guys like Josh Allen come from and nobody gives a
• 44:42
  crap about. But those are the guys and those
• 44:44
  are the God that got the quarterbacks that come out of
• 44:47
  college football and blow up on, you know, in the NFL.
• 44:49
  So I think it's good. I also think that the NIL and
• 44:54
  college need to figure out how this could level out where it
• 44:57
  makes sense, where these players aren't bringing in too much
• 45:01
  money, where they why do they even want to go play
• 45:04
  professional football? They could just go make as much
• 45:06
  as they can, college football, college basketball and stay
• 45:10
  there for four years. Yes, it helps the, you know, the
• 45:13
  NCAA, but does it help the NBA? Does it help the growth of some
• 45:18
  of these NBA youth and some of these, by the way, franchises
• 45:22
  they're bringing to the NBA like Vegas or even Seattle that they
• 45:26
  want to bring in? If those superstar young players
• 45:28
  don't want to come and play for those school, those those teams,
• 45:32
  they'll say, you know what, I got another two years of
• 45:34
  eligibility. I can make more money doing this
• 45:37
  than going to the NBA or the NFL playing for this crappy team.
• 45:40
  I think that could hurt the NC, the NFL or any of the
• 45:46
  professional sports that I think is going to be a problem moving
• 45:49
  forward if they don't figure this out.
• 45:50
  Yeah, it's, it's one thing we talked about with the
• 45:52
  extremities of college sports is I obviously there's a conflict
• 45:57
  of whether the players are being paid or not, but it's also how
• 45:59
  they treated. And that's I think the biggest
• 46:00
  take away from this $2.8 billion in a lawsuit accumulated over 10
• 46:04
  years. Now for a while I wasn't sure if
• 46:07
  college players like getting paid would be a good idea
• 46:09
  because I thought, oh, they're young kids or they can abuse the
• 46:11
  money type thing. But I think it was Jeff that
• 46:13
  when he when he called one of my first years with the network
• 46:16
  that was saying how bad it really was.
• 46:17
  Because obviously he was working in insurance at the time with a
• 46:19
  lot of these college athletes. How badly that these schools
• 46:22
  treated, how badly these programs, these athletic
• 46:24
  directors treated him to not even get the basic essentials.
• 46:26
  And I think that's the combination of 300 plus schools
• 46:30
  coming into this and mistreating a lot of these guys and and
• 46:34
  they're being paid back with as far as going forward with the
• 46:36
  future. I don't know what Finebaum is
• 46:37
  worried about with this. Like, yes, the big schools are
• 46:40
  going to pay most of their money in the football anyway.
• 46:42
  I think they would have done that anyway.
• 46:43
  But there's still a lot of power schools that have great
• 46:45
  basketball teams. Alabama has a great basketball
• 46:47
  team now. Ohio State's had great, but the
• 46:50
  lacrosse teams, right, Lacrosse teams, hockey teams.
• 46:52
  There's enough college baseball like you guys talked about last
• 46:55
  week, Goody and Java. Like there's a lot of good SEC
• 46:57
  schools in that too, like how they distribute the money.
• 46:59
  Is that going to be all with football anyway?
• 47:00
  Because football teams are still going to have their reputation
• 47:03
  as it is. Will the biggest and I'll
• 47:05
  earners individually be football players?
• 47:07
  Most likely, yes. But that doesn't mean that, like
• 47:09
  you were saying, the Boozer brothers or Lebron's other son
• 47:13
  couldn't get like another big endorsement deal.
• 47:14
  Even if it's not a big or big school, it could be another
• 47:17
  California school that Bryce James goes to.
• 47:19
  It could be Fresno State that gives him a big endorsement
• 47:22
  deal. It doesn't have to be
• 47:23
  necessarily USC or UCLA that does that.
• 47:25
  I think they're all individual circumstances now.
• 47:28
  You're right, balancing out this alleged cap, it's not really a
• 47:31
  cap because it's not pro sports, but this alleged cap for the
• 47:34
  percentage wise is going to be strategic.
• 47:35
  But again, there's not going to be as much drastic swings like
• 47:38
  you see in other sports just because of that cap, is there?
• 47:40
  So I don't think it's going to be as extreme as you think.
• 47:42
  Is it going to be the other extreme where there's so much
• 47:44
  parody? I don't know yet.
• 47:45
  I think that'll only come over time.
• 47:46
  But there is some balance and deep conferences as a result
• 47:49
  because of it. And I don't think it's, I don't
• 47:50
  think Fine Bound has the right perspective on this.
• 47:54
  Yeah, it was. I actually had this conversation
• 47:56
  the other day when when it got passed with another a couple
• 48:00
  other athletes that obviously we were before this time.
• 48:04
  But what you guys fail to forget, if you are a college
• 48:07
  athlete, you still get paid because you get a scholarship
• 48:10
  check. You get money every month.
• 48:12
  Not obviously to the extent of this, but you get a scholarship
• 48:16
  check. So you're getting a physical
• 48:18
  check every month if you're a scholarship athlete.
• 48:21
  And it just depends on what your amount of your athletic
• 48:24
  scholarship is. And then there's other things
• 48:26
  that we get paid for like if you work a camp, if you do these
• 48:30
  things, like there were ways to get paid in college, just not in
• 48:34
  this Ave. So I always want to preface
• 48:37
  people like it wasn't like we weren't getting paid.
• 48:40
  It was just not to the extent of what it is right now.
• 48:44
  What I would also like to know too is OK, how much percentage
• 48:49
  does each? Does SCC get more than the big
• 48:52
  10? It said 20.5 for each school.
• 48:56
  Do you have to? Is there a rollover?
• 48:58
  Do you have to use it every year?
• 49:00
  Like there's a lot of stuff that I don't really know after
• 49:03
  reading it and trying to understand.
• 49:05
  I think it's for one year, but the biggest schools are going to
• 49:08
  have enough athletic programs to be able to distribute that.
• 49:11
  Like I always love the booty. No, but OK, so that's my point.
• 49:15
  So if you get a smaller school and say you use and you brought
• 49:22
  up a great point because this is a point that I brought up when
• 49:26
  we were talking about it. And then my buddy goes, OK, so
• 49:29
  in the contrary, so not these power 5 schools with some of
• 49:31
  these smaller schools, if they're getting that and now can
• 49:35
  offer a kid more money, is that going to make, is that going to
• 49:39
  change things? And where you can also still
• 49:44
  make nil on top of it. But it's like, oh, I can pay my
• 49:47
  this player directly. Maybe I can him off of what
• 49:52
  school he thought he was going to go to because we're going to
• 49:57
  give him 50 grand more or 100,000 more because now you can
• 50:00
  directly pay them. So it it'll be interesting to
• 50:04
  see in what capacity this does affect some schools and other
• 50:09
  schools. It's not really like for us, I
• 50:12
  mean, we got football players making two $3,000,000 and so we
• 50:17
  got volleyball players making almost $1,000,000.
• 50:20
  So I mean, it's just art here. I just know it because I'm a
• 50:25
  part of it. Seeing my son and kind of what
• 50:28
  the things that they do on his level is kind of different as
• 50:31
  well. But I just want to see how it
• 50:33
  changes, not necessarily a dynamic, but how some decisions
• 50:40
  I think will be made. Because I, I'm literally saying
• 50:43
  like now we're not making decisions for our children, for
• 50:50
  their education 100% when they go to college.
• 50:54
  Now we're making business decisions.
• 50:57
  You know what though, Jabba? What I learned is, especially
• 51:00
  someone who had really good grades for a long time like I
• 51:03
  did, and, you know, I didn't have connections when I got out
• 51:06
  of college. But if I was in this era and I
• 51:10
  was an average player on a winning team, I would have
• 51:13
  gotten a small NIL deal. Yeah, for sure.
• 51:16
  But think about what I would have done.
• 51:17
  I would have made connections in different industries doing that
• 51:21
  NIL deal. And I could have possibly set
• 51:23
  myself up with some of those connections to take me somewhere
• 51:26
  in life. And I think that's kind of what
• 51:28
  a lot of people are missing with this NIL stuff.
• 51:31
  Now that it's going to be standardized, think about how
• 51:33
  big those college football teams are and how few of those guys go
• 51:36
  to the NFL, right? It's 9, like 95% of them to 99%
• 51:41
  of them are not going to the NFL on, on most of these teams,
• 51:45
  except for Georgia, of course. But there's this is going to be
• 51:50
  a killing thing that we saw forever that these guys would
• 51:55
  play and they'd get nothing after they played.
• 51:57
  Now they have connections. They have a little business
• 52:00
  experience that's you could always go back and take classes
• 52:03
  and get more degrees. I know someone who has like 7°.
• 52:07
  It's for their fun. It's not.
• 52:09
  They just wanted to get more degrees.
• 52:10
  You can keep going and getting degrees.
• 52:12
  You don't have to do it by the time you turn 22 years old.
• 52:14
  And I think that's a big deal. I do disagree with the
• 52:18
  scholarship thing and this is something Errol, I've been.
• 52:20
  I'm so excited to talk about this because this is one of my
• 52:23
  long time arguments. I don't think I've ever shared
• 52:25
  it with you. I hate the argument that
• 52:27
  scholarship is how you get paid in college.
• 52:30
  Because think about this. The baseball player who helps
• 52:33
  win the championship that's bringing all this added value to
• 52:36
  the school gets the same free scholarship as the 7th
• 52:39
  midfielder on the girls lacrosse team that gets a free ride to
• 52:43
  the school as well. That does not bring that.
• 52:45
  No, my, my whole point was no, my whole point was that we still
• 52:48
  were getting money. Not sort of, but you're not, but
• 52:51
  you're getting ripped off, you know, for your work, you know,
• 52:54
  you're doing a lot. You're getting that same deal as
• 52:57
  someone who's bringing no value to the school and they're making
• 53:01
  all that money. And that's why I'm so happy that
• 53:03
  has changed. But even bigger thing is now
• 53:06
  these guys that aren't the stars can actually set themselves up
• 53:09
  after school. I think that's really cool.
• 53:12
  Yeah, but still, at the end of the day, you're you're still not
• 53:15
  paying the 7th midfielder in lacrosse.
• 53:17
  Like, let's just be serious. Well, I was exaggerating, but
• 53:20
  you know what I mean. I'm not a star player and not a
• 53:22
  not a sport that draws in the school.
• 53:25
  They still get a free ride, right?
• 53:27
  You know? Like it just depends on what
• 53:29
  conference cuz each conference is different.
• 53:32
  I think that what's going to happen is the conferences are
• 53:34
  going to get realigned, Darrell and Java, because of this money
• 53:37
  thing. And just economically, you're
• 53:39
  going to see the schools rise to the top.
• 53:40
  I hope there's a middle class. I don't think there will be if
• 53:43
  you don't have some revenue sharing, which I hope they do,
• 53:46
  but it's going to be a lot of haves and have nots.
• 53:48
  You're going to have one really great division of football and
• 53:51
  you're gonna have a lot of teams that are either going to be over
• 53:54
  or forced. Down I will say this and I know
• 53:56
  a lot of people are going to probably have their own
• 53:58
  arguments to this and what some of these athletes should be
• 54:00
  making or if they should even be getting the money that they're
• 54:03
  getting. And I understand what job is
• 54:05
  saying that they already were getting checks and they weren't
• 54:08
  ready getting scholarships. Here's the thing.
• 54:10
  I I look at it as what I believe these schools are bringing in.
• 54:15
  If you're going to a ball game and you're bringing in 10s of
• 54:18
  millions of dollars through sponsors and corporate, you
• 54:22
  know, corporate advertisements, these players should get a piece
• 54:26
  of it. It's their names out there.
• 54:28
  It's their names on the back of the jerseys.
• 54:30
  And then everybody says like Nick Saban says, wait a second.
• 54:32
  Some schools don't have their names on the back of the
• 54:35
  jerseys. Well, that's your problem.
• 54:36
  They're out there putting their bodies on the line and they they
• 54:40
  could go paralyzed, They could be brain dead.
• 54:42
  They're out there, they can hurt their knee and they could be
• 54:46
  they can never play professional football or basketball ever
• 54:48
  again. As we've seen this before in the
• 54:51
  NBA, There are quite a few players that come to the NBA and
• 54:53
  never have much of A career because they hurt themselves in
• 54:56
  their early careers and college basketball.
• 54:59
  So this has been going on in, you know, college sports forever
• 55:03
  and these players are really not getting getting anything behind
• 55:05
  it now, I think, and everybody says, well, they're getting a
• 55:08
  college education. Let's talk about college
• 55:10
  education. Let's be honest here.
• 55:12
  It's great to get a bachelor degree.
• 55:14
  Now you're looking at you need a master's degree to even get a
• 55:17
  good job out there if you're not going to school.
• 55:20
  That's why a lot of these ex athletes they're going to sales
• 55:23
  and they're going they're selling cars or they're selling
• 55:26
  mortgages and stuff like that because they they're putting
• 55:29
  their name out there. They're selling it with their
• 55:31
  name. That's what they're doing.
• 55:32
  So what do you think these these teams, these colleges are doing?
• 55:36
  They're selling their names. So why shouldn't these college
• 55:39
  players make money off their names just like professional
• 55:42
  teams? Why you look at Peyton Manning,
• 55:44
  Do you think the Indianapolis Colts would have meant anything
• 55:48
  until Peyton Manning went over there?
• 55:49
  They were a horrible organization going nowhere.
• 55:52
  Then they added Peyton Manning, then Marvin Harrison, then
• 55:55
  Reggie Wayne. Then they put Clark there,
• 55:57
  Dallas Clark there. They built a whole defense
• 55:59
  around who their superstar player and why were people
• 56:03
  selling out games? Why were people going to watch
• 56:05
  the Indianapolis Colts play Peyton Manning?
• 56:09
  So that's why Peyton Manning, that's why the quarterbacks get
• 56:12
  the most money. They're going to get the credit
• 56:14
  when they're winning and they're not going to they're going to be
• 56:16
  attacked when they're losing. So that's what I'm going to say.
• 56:19
  I don't think it's it's horrible the way the NCAA has not really
• 56:23
  stood behind some of these youngsters and Nick Saban, why
• 56:26
  he walked away. Dabo Sweeney, his big ass mouth
• 56:29
  coming out and throwing players under the throwing them under
• 56:32
  the gun and running them over with his are telling everybody
• 56:35
  that they shouldn't be making the money.
• 56:36
  Why? Because you want to make the
• 56:38
  money. You're making $12 million a year
• 56:40
  while these players are putting their bodies on the line as you
• 56:43
  recruit them. Why do you get all the money,
• 56:45
  buddy? Why does the school get all the
• 56:47
  money? I think it's absolutely
• 56:49
  pathetic. And by the way, these kids don't
• 56:51
  even finish their college educations.
• 56:54
  They go right to the NFL because most of these kids or an NBA or
• 56:59
  any of these schools, because most of these kids come from
• 57:01
  nothing. They come from poor families,
• 57:04
  parts of the world where you need to work your ass off to get
• 57:08
  over the top. So now you have guys like talks
• 57:11
  about, I'm sorry, Williamson. Remember when Williams King
• 57:15
  Williamson came out of Duke and everybody said, why don't you go
• 57:17
  play another year in college basketball with RJ Barrett and
• 57:20
  that team, you can win a championship.
• 57:21
  You know why? Because he comes from a place in
• 57:24
  Florida where his family was living in a little barn, like a
• 57:29
  little barn, like a little house.
• 57:31
  So obviously these guys need the money, their families need the
• 57:35
  money, and that's why I think that college football, college
• 57:39
  basketball, college hockey, college lacrosse, college
• 57:41
  soccer, whatever college sport, should absolutely give these
• 57:46
  players the money that they're putting their names on those
• 57:49
  jerseys and they're selling tickets because of those guys
• 57:52
  being there. Absolutely.
• 57:54
  I think it's pathetic and the NCAA should be ashamed of
• 57:57
  themselves for the last 25 years not doing it as we've seen.
• 58:00
  Remember the movie? The program?
• 58:02
  Remember that movie? What a great movie.
• 58:04
  Remember that pet? Movie Latimer, the best
• 58:06
  character ever. Yeah, he's like he's got only
• 58:09
  underwear on and like 120 LB dumbbells taking the juice and
• 58:14
  going no problem, I'm doing curls.
• 58:17
  It's been going on in sports forever.
• 58:19
  If you think these guys weren't getting money under the table,
• 58:21
  and remember the FBI was, you know, searching the NCAA,
• 58:25
  college basketball and coaches, you know, doing it under the
• 58:28
  table, what was it 3-4 years ago?
• 58:30
  Me and Speedy were talking on the show when we were doing our
• 58:33
  show. It it's been to me.
• 58:35
  I think college sports has been the biggest bull crapping
• 58:39
  organization, thievery organization.
• 58:42
  I don't want to say it. I want to use bad words.
• 58:44
  I'm not going to do it because they have stolen these kids, you
• 58:48
  know, manhood. Some of these kids will never
• 58:51
  play professional sports. They're college born players
• 58:54
  that could be making 10s of millions, 10s of hundreds of
• 58:56
  thousands of dollars if they never stepped foot on a
• 58:59
  professional field where they can set their families up and
• 59:01
  their own families up for the future.
• 59:03
  And they couldn't do because the NCAA are grubbers, thieves and
• 59:08
  pieces of garbage. That's all I'm going to say
• 59:10
  about that. Goody, before you get all
• 59:12
  situated, I just want to read Bill P in our comments section.
• 59:14
  I had to play pay his way in college play baseball at
• 59:17
  Virginia Tech when they were a club team.
• 59:18
  That's really something. How many college athletes have
• 59:20
  been permanently injured and unable to play sports Again,
• 59:22
  very good point. And yes, the players going to
• 59:24
  make the suit of money. They should get paid well and
• 59:25
  Java. That's what we were saying with
• 59:27
  the the 20.8 million. How you distribute it to some of
• 59:29
  those smaller schools might give like a good chunk of that to 1
• 59:31
  athlete just to bring in a star, or you balance it out and try to
• 59:34
  grow all your programs organically.
• 59:36
  It's very interesting. Every school's going to do it
• 59:37
  differently. That's what makes this beauty of
• 59:39
  the conferences so great. Gad Goody.
• 59:42
  No, it's just it's going to be tough for it's very tough.
• 59:45
  I was just talking to my old coach Pulmonary tonight
• 59:49
  actually, and it's crazy. It's crazy what what the
• 59:53
  landscape has changed drastically and it's really hard
• 59:56
  on coaches now. Coaches have to come up with
• 59:58
  money and as far as the the NCA. The clearinghouse thing goes
• 1:00:04
  from my understanding the schools now will pay players
• 1:00:07
  directly and they can still get NIL money.
• 1:00:13
  But that being said baseball now is going to have like 34 full
• 1:00:16
  scholarships so where they only had 11.7 for the longest time
• 1:00:19
  and now have 34 full scholarships.
• 1:00:21
  So every player can get a full ride technically, but.
• 1:00:24
  And the and the roster's smaller.
• 1:00:26
  And the roster's smaller is 34. So it's, I mean, it's going to
• 1:00:29
  be interesting to see. I go back and forth with players
• 1:00:33
  getting paid. I didn't get paid.
• 1:00:36
  So, you know, I wish I would have.
• 1:00:39
  But at the same time, it's, you can see there's thousands of
• 1:00:43
  kids in the in the portal right now.
• 1:00:45
  And it makes coaching so much more difficult because if the
• 1:00:49
  kid has a 12 innings on the year, he can just say I'm out.
• 1:00:53
  And now you have to basically redo your entire roster every
• 1:00:57
  single year. And it's really hard on their
• 1:00:59
  coaches because their jobs are on the line every single year.
• 1:01:02
  So you really have just a finite time to try and get some players
• 1:01:06
  to buy into your program. And really it's free agency
• 1:01:09
  every year. I mean, it truly is like the
• 1:01:11
  wild, Wild West. It's, it's crazy.
• 1:01:14
  I don't know really. I don't, I don't know how I feel
• 1:01:16
  about it right now, but I am happy that the players are
• 1:01:19
  getting paid because as you said, sometimes you can have a
• 1:01:21
  career ending injury in college. And 10 years ago, 12 years ago,
• 1:01:27
  that meant you're you were done and you were basically just
• 1:01:30
  going to school to earn a degree and trying to figure out what
• 1:01:32
  you want to do next. But now who was the running
• 1:01:34
  back? I'm sure you make a million.
• 1:01:35
  Nick, I'm sorry, who is the running back?
• 1:01:37
  Sorry. Is claret you're talking?
• 1:01:38
  About no, it wasn't claret because he he was, he really
• 1:01:41
  never even played professional football.
• 1:01:43
  He was a running back. He hurt his knee.
• 1:01:45
  He went to Buffalo. I think he played for Buffalo.
• 1:01:47
  I forget he played from Miami. I think he played for the
• 1:01:49
  Hurricanes. He was a pretty good running
• 1:01:51
  back and he hurt his. Knee.
• 1:01:53
  Oh, it was his. It was his knee, right?
• 1:01:55
  You talking about Mcgahee? Mcgahee.
• 1:01:56
  Willis Mcgahee. Willis Mcgahee, Remember that,
• 1:01:59
  that whole thing with him, of course he had to put, he put an
• 1:02:03
  insurance policy on him before he even played college ball.
• 1:02:06
  Why? Because they weren't paying him.
• 1:02:08
  And if I'm sorry. I had one.
• 1:02:11
  I had a Lloyd's of London. No, there you go.
• 1:02:13
  So some of these players are putting, obviously at the time
• 1:02:17
  they were putting insurance policies on their bodies because
• 1:02:21
  if they didn't, if McGee never played professional football
• 1:02:24
  again, he is his. Him and his family would have
• 1:02:26
  been screwed. I thought McGee was very smart.
• 1:02:28
  I think Troy Palamalu, I know everybody makes jokes about it
• 1:02:31
  because Palamalu put a $4 million insurance policy on his
• 1:02:35
  hair. He really did do that.
• 1:02:37
  He 100% did that well. Jlo put like a $50 million
• 1:02:42
  policy on her butt. Yeah, I believe it.
• 1:02:45
  And, and again, obviously these these particular players and
• 1:02:50
  obviously these superstar players and Mcgehey had a long
• 1:02:53
  career in the NFL and made a lot of money, but who knows what
• 1:02:56
  would happen? And then his knee, he he tore
• 1:02:58
  his knee and some people thought his career was over.
• 1:03:00
  And then he was drafted, I think in a second round, and he became
• 1:03:03
  a pretty good running back in the NFL.
• 1:03:05
  Might have been the end of the first.
• 1:03:06
  Think it was the second round. Being talked about like as a top
• 1:03:09
  guy, like like really top of the draft coming out and then he,
• 1:03:13
  that knee blew up on that play in the championship game and
• 1:03:16
  everyone saw it live. But I pretty sure 'cause I was
• 1:03:20
  in Buffalo at the time, he was up there and when I was in
• 1:03:23
  college and they loved that guy. He just what he was such a power
• 1:03:27
  back. They gave him tons of carries.
• 1:03:29
  He he came back from that and that was one of the is one of
• 1:03:32
  the worst injuries I've seen and similar to a guy that I'm going
• 1:03:35
  to talk about in our sportsman in.
• 1:03:36
  A second. I got it.
• 1:03:37
  Willis Mcgahee was drafted 23rd in the first round.
• 1:03:41
  There you go. Yeah, late 1st, late 1st.
• 1:03:43
  Played for the Bills and the Ravens.
• 1:03:45
  He was drafted by the Bills. He played for Denver, the Ravens
• 1:03:48
  and Cleveland as well, right? I remember him with the Ravens a
• 1:03:52
  lot at the end there, yes, but he was a good player.
• 1:03:54
  The Bills fans, as you, I'm not surprised, love that guy and
• 1:03:57
  they love their players and they they love that guy because he
• 1:03:59
  was a he was a ball. Hawk, he was the first.
• 1:04:01
  He was the first. He was my first college like NFL
• 1:04:07
  prospect I ever met in my entire life.
• 1:04:09
  Willis McKay here, that was the first one I ever met and one of
• 1:04:13
  the nicest people you'll ever meet.
• 1:04:15
  Such a nice, nice dude. You know, it looks like a mean
• 1:04:19
  guy with big legs and stuff like that.
• 1:04:21
  One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
• 1:04:23
  And I it it he had a great career.
• 1:04:25
  I'm looking at his career. He had a long career, but he.
• 1:04:27
  Did imagine if he didn't get hurt though, you know what I
• 1:04:31
  mean? Like that guy, it could have
• 1:04:33
  easily been a lot worse. He was just a free tenure and
• 1:04:36
  was able to come back from that injury, you know, at a young
• 1:04:38
  age. I had pretty good.
• 1:04:39
  Numbers and thank God for that, for him. 8474 yards, 65
• 1:04:43
  touchdowns So. You know who the Bills replaced
• 1:04:46
  him with. No, there was a couple of love
• 1:04:50
  Skittles. Love Skittles.
• 1:04:52
  Mr. Skittles, Mashawn Marshawn Lynch, Right.
• 1:04:54
  Yeah, so when they and he was there he go because he just
• 1:04:57
  didn't have the speed. And remember who drafted
• 1:04:59
  Marshawn Lynch? That's.
• 1:05:01
  What I'm saying, it was the Bills.
• 1:05:02
  The Bills And why did he? Why did they trade him?
• 1:05:06
  I don't remember. That because he posted in his
• 1:05:09
  car that he was smoking marijuana.
• 1:05:11
  He was posting in his car. He was on a live video while he
• 1:05:15
  was smoking a blunt in his car at the at the facility.
• 1:05:20
  In his call that's that sounds about.
• 1:05:22
  Right, Marshawn Lynch. So that's just a true story.
• 1:05:25
  And they traded him to Seattle and we all know it from there.
• 1:05:28
  So Marshawn Lynch had a sensational career and won a
• 1:05:31
  Super Bowl over there in Seattle.

  So he knows all about winning, as we all know.
• 1:05:35
  I I think we do. I mean, I think he sometimes
• 1:05:38
  lost a little bit in, in his own little mind and he probably pops
• 1:05:42
  too many skills in many different areas of the world,
• 1:05:45
  especially in the women's world. That's it for a show.
• 1:05:48
  We'll be back on Thursday. Who do we have on?
• 1:05:50
  Returning to the show, first time in a while for him.
• 1:05:52
  Tobin Anderson returning to the show at the time we had him on,
• 1:05:55
  he was the Iona head coach infamously won the as a 16 seat
• 1:05:58
  with fairly Dickinson. We've had a few of their players
• 1:06:00
  on the show as well. And now he's actually the
• 1:06:02
  assistant coach at USF after Iona, as I mentioned in my
• 1:06:06
  previous what's strangely fired him, but he's now a special
• 1:06:10
  assistant to the head coach at USF.
• 1:06:11
  And by the way, I, I just got a text message that we should be
• 1:06:15
  getting in the next couple of weeks, Tyler McGill on the show.
• 1:06:18
  So that's something, you know, Peterson didn't work out,
• 1:06:22
  unfortunately, but a boy, Mr. Agent himself hooked us up.
• 1:06:26
  He got, he went, he went to a signing autograph thing and he
• 1:06:30
  talked to Tyler. And Tyler says he would love to
• 1:06:32
  come on the show. So be fun to get Tyler on the
• 1:06:34
  show and hear what he has to say about the New York Mets and
• 1:06:37
  their pitching staff, which is pitched very, very well this
• 1:06:39
  year. So we'll see. 2.81 team ERS.
• 1:06:41
  Stop it, stop jerking off with something.
• 1:06:43
  Whatever the hell you doing is stop.
• 1:06:45
  Well, I'm sod is hitting 244 when he gets already complained
• 1:06:47
  about him earlier. All right, I'm just saying 768
• 1:06:50
  million dollars of waste dog shit that could.
• 1:06:53
  Have been wasted on worst pictures.
• 1:06:54
  That's true. I mean the Yankees got 3 for the
• 1:06:56
  price. Of one we tried that already
• 1:06:58
  with Max Scherzer and Justin Verley.
• 1:06:59
  We. Got to go, OK, people got to go
• 1:07:01
  to bed. People got to go to sleep.
• 1:07:02
  Anyways, thank you to all the fans.
