- 2:00No, not at all. But now it's good to be back.
- 2:03Excited. Um, lots. Yeah, it is. Like you said,
- 2:05it's that time of year where kind of like it
- 2:08sneaks up on you. Like a lot's going on. So yeah,
- 2:12excited, happy to be back. Like I said, so Sean,
- 2:15how you doing? doing all right. Ditto Chris excited
- 2:21to just chat up about the sports world with the
- 2:25boys. Yeah, I say we just get into it. Okay,
- 2:31let's get into it. So a couple of things happening.
- 2:36The NFL draft is this week, kind of snuck up
- 2:40on us. But obviously, this is a Tennessee sports
- 2:46podcast, so I'm kind of excited for the draft
- 2:51just because like like we have a high pick and
- 2:56It'll be like, you know, it won't even be a quarter
- 3:00of the way through the draft by the time we pick
- 3:03so it'll be pretty quick and In the other years
- 3:07when we were you know better, you know draft
- 3:10night kind of sucked because it's like we're
- 3:12not picking until 11 30 at night and it's like
- 3:16dude i got work tomorrow today's thursday um
- 3:19but the titans do have the fourth pick um it
- 3:25seemed as if like i think at the beginning of
- 3:28this month uh up until then it was pretty clear
- 3:30that we were going to draft jeremiah love but
- 3:33i think we signed a uh another running back and
- 3:35free agent free agency i guess i should have
- 3:38uh Pulled that up before I before I said it but
- 3:43that is something I'm Like 85 % sure that we
- 3:47we signed another running back in in free agency
- 3:50Are we letting do we let Pollard walk or? No,
- 3:55we did not let him walk Michael we did not release
- 3:59him. We signed Michael Carter who I I Could be
- 4:03wrong, but I believe he's just some sort of journeyman
- 4:07Had him in fantasy football one year when he
- 4:10was on the Jets, so I think Roberts law liked
- 4:14him and Wanted him back. I don't know I Don't
- 4:21know if that's gonna If he's like a solidified
- 4:24backup, I don't he wasn't very good for me in
- 4:26fantasy But he was like the only running back
- 4:28left at whatever fucking year that was So yes
- 4:331700 rushing yards through Four seasons, five
- 4:37seasons. So, yeah. I mean, yeah, I just don't,
- 4:41he's just like a third, third option, I guess.
- 4:48Okay. So we could, we could still draft Jeremiah
- 4:53love, um, just because like, I mean, it might
- 4:57depend on who is picked above us, you know, because
- 5:02like, If he's already taken then it might be
- 5:05like all right well let's get Ruben Bain even
- 5:07though like we signed so many free agents on
- 5:09the defense In free agency so not quite sure
- 5:15how we're gonna how we're gonna go about this
- 5:19But who's the other Who's like the wide receiver
- 5:24that we could possibly draft? I don't know let
- 5:27me let me let me look up Mel Kuyper Mel Kuyper
- 5:30his draft. He always has some great Some great
- 5:35data. He's always right about everything. I saw
- 5:38he was, just while you look that up, I saw him,
- 5:41I don't know if it was sarcasm or what, but he
- 5:46was seemingly kind of like taking a victory lap
- 5:49about Shador Sanders just because he has been
- 5:52named, I guess has been named the starting quarterback
- 5:55for the Browns next year? Question mark. Celebrating
- 6:01a bit early. Yeah. That's why I was like this.
- 6:05I know he's kind of a bozo, but like surely this
- 6:07has to be like sarcasm, but I have no idea with
- 6:10him. He's a, he's a weird dude, but yeah. Maniac.
- 6:15What was this food thing that he likes that we
- 6:18were. He loves a pumpkin pie. No, it was something
- 6:22weird. Oh, he takes the cheese off of his pizza.
- 6:25Yeah. That. Prison. He's like, I go through like.
- 6:31Five or six pumpkin pies a week. That's also
- 6:35insane. At least that's like a normal food. Cheeseless
- 6:41pizza is fucking weird. Weird guy. OK, so his
- 6:48mock draft that came out three days ago had Mendoza
- 6:54at number one to the Raiders and then for the
- 6:58Jets. At number two, he has David Bailey, OLB
- 7:02from Texas Tech. I mean, I don't even know. I
- 7:07don't even know anything about that guy or and
- 7:11then on three for Arizona, it's Arvel Reese,
- 7:17linebacker, Ohio State. I don't know if he's
- 7:20great either, but I guess I didn't watch too
- 7:23much college. Last year. Anyway, and then at
- 7:26four, he does have us taking Jeremiah love, even
- 7:28though we still do have Tony Pollard, Tajay Spears
- 7:33and Michael Carter. So not quite sure what's
- 7:39going down there. I don't know. So yeah, I know
- 7:42we signed the defensive end from Denver. I forget
- 7:47his name. I'll stop my head. Something Franklin.
- 7:49Is that it? Yeah, it's like Jermaine Franklin.
- 7:53No. No idea, but we signed a defensive end from
- 7:56Denver Who else do we have like at on the end?
- 8:01So I get that that Franklin guy. He's for he's
- 8:05a he's a D tackle. Oh, I thought he was a Okay,
- 8:09then yeah, then I definitely know we signed we
- 8:13traded The Jets guy or Giants we traded with
- 8:20the Jets to get Jermaine Johnson. That was it.
- 8:23Okay um the big ass D tackle we had um it was
- 8:28jury's still kind of out on him but you know
- 8:31we'll see but but uh but yeah so like it feels
- 8:36like on defense and then we signed like a Alante
- 8:40Taylor that was notable and then another corner
- 8:43who whose name escapes me we did a shit ton on
- 8:47defense but I mean honestly Keep doing it right
- 8:55and then Who would you say is the best wide receiver
- 9:01coming out? Because Mel Kuiper has carnell tate
- 9:06as I say carnell tate probably I Like I said
- 9:11when we were right before we came on you They're
- 9:14like, do we want to talk draft? I was like, oh
- 9:15shit, the draft is this week. So I have not done
- 9:18a whole lot of research on the various classes,
- 9:21but yeah, carnal tape, I would say is the best
- 9:24wide receiver. Cause like we could get him to
- 9:30just to like get a real wide receiver one dump
- 9:37off Ridley somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think
- 9:45so. Um, our wide receiver room is just kind of
- 9:48weird. It's weird because like we have some interesting
- 9:54names and that could do things, but will they?
- 9:59Yeah, it's like we have like a few guys were
- 10:02like, Oh yeah, pretty good. Like Wendell Robinson,
- 10:07people have been raving about him a lot off the
- 10:09soft seasons. Like, I mean, he's like a deep
- 10:10ball guy. I mean, that's good. But like if he's
- 10:15your one That's not I mean not trying to throw
- 10:22shade on the guy you can turn to be awesome,
- 10:23but just on paper That's like I mean, that's
- 10:25not ideal Mm -hmm. And like we have Eliq Io manner
- 10:31who turned out to be a stud But also like he's
- 10:37still like really young so it's I I don't I mean
- 10:41he could fall off a cliff, who knows? And then
- 10:44yeah, Ridley, I don't know what to do with this
- 10:48guy. Yeah. And like the thing with with really
- 10:53anyone on our team, like we were so bad last
- 10:55year. It's like, I mean, are these guys even
- 10:59really good? You know? So who's to say? Eliq
- 11:04is at least from one season. I, I think he's
- 11:09solid, but it's just, you don't want to be rolling
- 11:11in with the guy. I mean, yeah, it's Wondell,
- 11:16he like Ridley and a couple of other like drifters.
- 11:22So you kind of say it wouldn't be a bad pick.
- 11:25I just, yeah, I know. I feel like we're pretty
- 11:28good at a lot of it. There's not like one, at
- 11:30least off the top of my head, there's not like
- 11:31one glaring area that needs. Like oh, yes, we
- 11:36definitely need this like we did we need a lot
- 11:38of things, but we also have like a lot of Pretty
- 11:42good players in these positions, but nobody that's
- 11:44like, okay. Yes Other than cam obviously and
- 11:48a few others, but I don't know. It's we're in
- 11:51an interesting spot Mm -hmm. Yeah Shit I had
- 11:57something to say I forgot it. Oh, well. Oh wait.
- 12:01Did you guys know we let jig walk? Yeah. I didn't
- 12:06know that until like last week. Yeah. I feel
- 12:08like I heard that and then kind of forgot about
- 12:10it, but then you said commanders. Yeah. That
- 12:13was, I was like, he signed somewhere weird, but
- 12:16um, yeah, maybe we need a tight end. I don't
- 12:20know. Well, Gunnar Helm was seemed pretty awesome.
- 12:24Solid. Yeah. He's pretty solid. Yeah. So I don't
- 12:28know who's to say, is that it for draft talk?
- 12:31Cause I really don't have anything else. It's
- 12:33kind of just a boring draft. Like the clear cut.
- 12:36Number one, obviously he's Mendoza, but I'm not
- 12:39really sure he's like that good. Yeah. Like he
- 12:45was obviously amazing in Indiana. He had like,
- 12:47uh, one like solid year at Cal, at least that
- 12:51I can remember. So it's like, he's like your
- 12:54slam dunk. Number one, not even really a close
- 12:57second. This is not very It's not very like I
- 13:02don't have Talked about draft class just across
- 13:06the board Yeah, and it's also weird with like
- 13:09the like a Raiders quarterback imagining him
- 13:12being a Raiders quarterback because it kind of
- 13:14feels like Kind of feels like the Raiders and
- 13:16the Bears Both need quarterbacks that like actively
- 13:21smoke cigarettes And that that would just feel
- 13:24right. I don't know the Bears sure shit don't
- 13:27have that now Yeah, they're if they get they
- 13:31have the opposite He eats them It's almost worse
- 13:43for breakfast But yeah, I Haven't even watched
- 13:52any tape on Jeremiah. Love. I got to be real.
- 13:54I haven't I didn't watch many games with with
- 13:56Notre Dame honestly He's really good. Like he
- 14:00put up really good numbers. I mean, Notre Dame
- 14:03schedule was just so like baby shit soft. It's
- 14:07hard to like get a good read. I was like, yeah,
- 14:10you put up like monster numbers against teams
- 14:12like pit and shit like pit fucking sucked. So
- 14:15it's like, I don't know. I think, I think he
- 14:18will be good, but to take him for overall, uh,
- 14:22I don't know. Take it running back that high
- 14:24is I feel like. Obviously worked out with like
- 14:28Derek Henry, but I feel like it doesn't work
- 14:30out all the time. I mean, we really didn't even
- 14:33pick Derek Henry high. He was second. No, he
- 14:35was second round or duh. Okay. Um, he's working
- 14:39with like Detroit and Atlanta. I just don't,
- 14:44I don't know. Historically, I feel like taking
- 14:46a running back that high is a bit of a risk,
- 14:49but what do I know? Hey, I just watch football
- 14:53called like a seize. But that's all I got. Do
- 14:59I mean, do we want to move on to hockey? Or do
- 15:05we want to do a short, short little basketball
- 15:08thing? I have nothing to say about the NBA. So
- 15:13I don't even know who's in it. I watched the
- 15:21Knicks and Hawks game last night in the Knicks.
- 15:25They had a 15 point lead or something like that
- 15:27going to the fourth and lost They I feel like
- 15:32they just do this like they did it with the Pacers
- 15:34last year Like are they just gonna piss down
- 15:38their leg again with like against the Hawks who
- 15:41I mean I'll be the first to admit I do not follow
- 15:44the NBA pretty much whatsoever I Learned who
- 15:49was on the Hawks roster as the game was started
- 15:54It was like that. I knew they traded Trey young,
- 15:57but then like they're going through the roster.
- 15:59It was like CJ McCollum. I was like, huh? Okay,
- 16:01cool. And then a bunch of other guys, I had like,
- 16:04I've heard their names, but know nothing about.
- 16:07So, and then, yeah, but apparently they're pretty
- 16:11decent. They're split first two games with the
- 16:14Knicks. So we'll be. Yeah. I'm looking at, uh,
- 16:18looking at the scores right now over the past
- 16:19few days. And normally with the NBA playoffs,
- 16:22like that first round. The teams that are favored
- 16:25just murder Whoever they play and it seems like
- 16:30there really hasn't been a lot of murderings
- 16:33The only real murdering is on Sunday it was six
- 16:40or Celtics and Celtics won by 30 or something
- 16:4491 to 123 and then Then the Thunder murdered
- 16:49the Suns 84 to 119 Uh, but all the rest have
- 16:54kind of been like between like five and 15 points,
- 16:59which I mean, it's not a lot, you know? Yeah.
- 17:04Yeah. The thunder probably is going to beat the
- 17:07dog shit out of the sons, but, um, yeah, everything
- 17:09else, like, I know like the spurs of like relatively,
- 17:12they handled the blazers, but I mean, it was,
- 17:16it was a close ish game for most of it. At least
- 17:20from my, I was box square watching because I
- 17:22had. Blazers plus 11 and a half. And they had
- 17:25an opportunity to backdoor cover and then just
- 17:27didn't try to score. They got the ball down 13,
- 17:31like 12 seconds left and just handed the ball
- 17:34to the ref. I'm like, we're out of here. Damn.
- 17:37Don't see that in college. These boys give it
- 17:43their all. They do. Is this, is this the first
- 17:46year they've done this play in tournament? No,
- 17:49they've done that for like three or four years.
- 17:53Yeah. They, uh, I thought this was new. I mean,
- 17:58relative in terms of like the grand scheme of
- 18:02the NBA kind of, but it was like three or four
- 18:07years ago, the Lakers like just were outside
- 18:12of the playoff picture. And then they're like,
- 18:14Hey, let's do a plan. Let's let's, let's give
- 18:18them a chance to, to, to make the playoffs. for
- 18:21money. And that's what happened. Yeah. I don't
- 18:27even know if they made the playoffs that if they
- 18:29made it past the play in but couldn't tell you.
- 18:32Well, the play in counts as the playoffs, which
- 18:34is it's kind of like how like they like in the
- 18:40NCAA tournaments, like the first four it's like,
- 18:42oh, they made the tournament. It's like, well,
- 18:45technically, I guess. But yeah, it's like the
- 18:49NBA acknowledges that if you made the play in
- 18:50that you made the playoffs or maybe you made
- 18:54the postseason. But I did see that the Hornets
- 19:00had a chance to make the playoffs. I think they
- 19:05were in like a playoff position like for most
- 19:07of the year and then just kind of fell off. And
- 19:09I think they won their first playing game and
- 19:11then lost their second one. They won their first.
- 19:13They won their first one on. I watched the highlights
- 19:16of that game. Hornets were from again. Didn't
- 19:20watch a full game because like you can't watch
- 19:23the Hornets unless you have league pass and I'm
- 19:24not doing that. But, um, from everything I've
- 19:27like, see like highlights and just stuff I've
- 19:29read, they are very fun, but they are, they're
- 19:33just not, I mean, they're not that good. Obviously
- 19:35they didn't make playoffs, but like con can nipple.
- 19:38If the rookie he's on, he could be on pace to
- 19:42be one of the best three point shooters of all
- 19:44time. Uh, Lamello ball is either. amazing or
- 19:50just dog shit on any given night. Their announcer
- 19:54just screams the entire time. Oh, I have seen
- 19:58the, the clips of the announcer going wild. This
- 20:01is electric. People are like, this is an AAU
- 20:04team, but they're all 30. But yeah, they, yeah,
- 20:13they've won their first game on a wild, like
- 20:16LaMelo hit some wild three that ended up tying
- 20:19the game. And I forget who it, maybe he hit the
- 20:24game winner as well. I don't remember. But, um,
- 20:26and they got smoked in their second one. Yeah.
- 20:31I want to see the Hornets in the playoffs. I
- 20:33do too. I'd watch that. I'd root for the Hornets.
- 20:37Hell yeah. Um, okay. Anything to add Sean? I
- 20:45mean, I don't really mind this play -in tournament,
- 20:50if I'm being honest. I mean, the Magic and the
- 20:52Pistons are like split right now, I think. Well,
- 20:57this is the actual playoffs. I know. Oh, OK.
- 21:00But like, they won their play -ins. Oh, yeah,
- 21:02yeah, yeah, yeah. They're up one. So are the
- 21:05Sixers. Where are the Orlando Magic? And yeah,
- 21:11the Suns got their shit rocked by the by the
- 21:16thunder. Yeah, I mean, I don't really mind this.
- 21:22It's a cool idea. I mean, I don't expect anything
- 21:28else from the NBA. It's like, of course they
- 21:30have a playing tournament. And the way they do
- 21:33it is it's like the seven and eight seeds are
- 21:37like, so it's like teams who are would in years
- 21:41past be in the playoffs have to like, defend
- 21:45their spot, which is kind of like a cool concept.
- 21:49But if you're the seven seed, like, fuck you.
- 21:52It's like, I'm not even last. Right? Yeah, I
- 21:58get that. That would suck. Damn. Anyway, um,
- 22:07Victor Wimbanyama won, became the first unanimous
- 22:11defensive player of the year award winner. He's
- 22:15there. I looked it up the record for defensive
- 22:18play of the years is four three -way tie for
- 22:21four He's gonna do that in the next five years
- 22:24The guys I mean it's bullshit what he does yeah,
- 22:31he's he's bigger than everyone else and He knows
- 22:35how to move in his body because like from just
- 22:40what I've gathered from various basketball things.
- 22:45It's like you can be tall and like, you know,
- 22:49but you have to like, really know how to like
- 22:51work your own body just because there is so much
- 22:54more of you. And like, it feels like he just
- 22:56has so much control over his his body is his
- 23:01actions. And he's just like, he's just great.
- 23:05I don't know. Yeah, like if he's in the paint,
- 23:08you're not shooting over him. Like it is physically
- 23:12impossible. Yeah. And like, uh, like the really,
- 23:17really tall guys, the biggest problem was like
- 23:22coming into your own body. I think, I think is
- 23:25the phrase. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like
- 23:28growing into like knowing, like kind of what
- 23:31you were like knowing what to do with having
- 23:3510 feet long arms. Right. And, uh, that's been
- 23:41Kind of an issue with the NBA. I mean like not
- 23:44like a big issue just because like there's not
- 23:46like the guys as tall as Victor women Yama, but
- 23:51like there's a bunch of seven footers and oh,
- 23:54yeah wonder really tall guys, you know, so it's
- 23:58just Also those guys don't really have long careers
- 24:02There have been like, you know, I mean, hopefully
- 24:06he Wimby will have a long one just cuz he's Insane.
- 24:10But, um, there have been freaks before, obviously
- 24:13not to this degree. And they've never been, they
- 24:16haven't been nearly as good as this guy. I mean,
- 24:21and I mean, he's insane to watch. He's the only
- 24:24player I think you get like, when you're trying
- 24:27to, when you're contesting a shot and like you
- 24:29commit like the Cardinal sin of like leaving
- 24:31your feet and like blown by the guy. He's the
- 24:33only player that can do that, but still very
- 24:36much be able to like still block the shot. He
- 24:39can still just turn around and play since the
- 24:43cats are fucking free. But yeah, so he's gonna
- 24:46have if he stays healthy, 910 defensive player
- 24:50the year or it's gotta be some sort of record.
- 24:54Oh, it will more than double it. Yes. Almost
- 25:02double it. Um, or the, the record's four. By
- 25:07who? Dennis Rodman? It's a three -way tie. Um,
- 25:10Rudy Gobert, uh, yeah, Rudy Gobert, Dikembe Mutombo
- 25:14and Ben Wallace. I'll have four. Makes sense.
- 25:18So he'll break that record in four years. Here's
- 25:24to you, Wimby. Uh, well, shit, let's talk about
- 25:30hockey then. Um, So Playoffs are in full swing
- 25:35last week me and Sean talked about the playoffs
- 25:38and we talked about The only we only had like
- 25:43a few matchups that were set just because of
- 25:46where we were in the in the calendar but the
- 25:49one we did talk about kind of kind of the most
- 25:52was a Philadelphia and Pittsburgh just because
- 25:58It's an electric factory every time those two
- 26:00teams play in the playoffs so That as we're speaking
- 26:07right now The Flyers are up to oh in the series,
- 26:11which is which is pretty crazy This this fucking
- 26:16guy Porter Martone Coming in from college in
- 26:21Michigan State. He's 19 it has He has something
- 26:25like 11 points in 10 games, something like that.
- 26:29He has one more point than games played, which
- 26:33is insane. He scored in like most of the games
- 26:37that he's played. This is crazy. Did you score
- 26:40the game winner in game one? I could be wrong,
- 26:42but I thought I read that somewhere. Uh, no.
- 26:46Like technically the game winner. Yeah. Yeah.
- 26:50I think that might've been the case. Okay. Bullshit.
- 26:5619 doing that. What was I doing? Well, it is
- 27:00kind of bullshit. Because like, man, I'd hate
- 27:03to be the team that had the pick right before
- 27:05them and pick someone else. Us? Can't gripe on
- 27:13that though. I know. Nothing we can do about
- 27:16it. Yeah, I was doing a did a little digging
- 27:19into that. Like, why did this happen? I need
- 27:22to know why this happened. And apparently like
- 27:25apparently the sample size for Porter Martone
- 27:28was much smaller per like tournament thing that
- 27:32they were I don't know something like This guy
- 27:37also plays center that we that we drafted so
- 27:40might take like, you know a hair bit longer to
- 27:43to develop and such But this fucking guy coming
- 27:49in it's like I really want Philly to win this
- 27:52series just because I hate Pittsburgh. Always
- 27:56hate Pittsburgh. But yeah, that's fun. And then
- 28:02after WrestleMania on Sunday, we put on the Buffalo
- 28:09Bruins game and the Sabres were down 2 -0, like
- 28:15six minutes left in the game. And then the final
- 28:18score was 4 -3, Buffalo. That was electric again
- 28:24rocked The six minutes we saw yeah, did you see
- 28:31after they scored that? Empty net goal To go
- 28:36up four three It started snowing Like in Buffalo
- 28:42outside like they had like a watch party Plaza
- 28:46thing outside with like barricades And as soon
- 28:49as they scored, like, you could just see, like,
- 28:52snow start to fall. And I was like, what the
- 28:55fuck? That's crazy. It's fucking beautiful. It's
- 28:59April. Well, apparently it was like real cold
- 29:03in Buffalo. It's just cold there all the time.
- 29:06Yeah. But how can you not love hockey? Yeah,
- 29:10that's that's pretty fucking cool. It's awesome.
- 29:14Yeah. I do want to go back to the. the penguin
- 29:17series, just real quick. Okay. It's like, this
- 29:21could be like, Balkan and Sid's like last go
- 29:26around, you know, to like make the playoffs.
- 29:29And here comes just like, the fucking radiest
- 29:32flyers team you've you've seen in like 15 years,
- 29:37coming to just squash their hopes and dreams.
- 29:40Yeah, it's hilarious. Pretty crazy. And like,
- 29:46On one hand, I want Pittsburgh to lose, but also
- 29:48I don't know if you knew this, Chris. I don't
- 29:50know if you were, we might've talked about this,
- 29:52but, um, the head coach for Pittsburgh, do you
- 29:56know who that is? Is it still Sullivan? No, no,
- 30:01no. Who? It's Dan Muse. Really? Yeah. Good for
- 30:06him. I did not know that you're going to give
- 30:08me a million guesses. Never would have guessed
- 30:10that. You know, who's one of his, uh, assistants?
- 30:15Nick Benino. All right, Pred's legend. Both Preds.
- 30:23Yeah, both obviously. That's awesome. I did not
- 30:27know that. That's fucking sick. Yeah, I want
- 30:30them to lose still, but that's still cool. I
- 30:34want Dan Muse to have success, but also I want
- 30:37Pittsburgh to lose. So is this since like last
- 30:41year, like Nah, not confirmed. Well, it's the
- 30:45way they're talking about it. I think it's Malkin's
- 30:47last year. Okay Like on a contract so we don't
- 30:52know. Okay. So yeah, cuz they were talking about
- 30:55I know like it could very well be obvious last
- 30:57year But like that last game they when they played
- 31:00each other There's like this is the end of an
- 31:02era and I was like, I mean Ovi maybe I was like
- 31:04sit done He's still like pretty damn good. But
- 31:08it's the like end of the rival. Yeah But okay,
- 31:13so I didn't know if this is gonna be like if
- 31:14he like hadn't said anything but was gonna be
- 31:17like yeah, this is it or I Always hate when they
- 31:22do the fucking like retirement tours Yeah Ryan
- 31:27our friend Ryan a caps fan had the theory that
- 31:31Yeah, it came out since last week that Obie said
- 31:35it's probably not my last season Which you know?
- 31:40Good, good for them, I guess. But Ryan had the
- 31:43tin foil hat theory that they want him to do
- 31:45a retirement tour so they can make more money.
- 31:49So the NHL can make more money. Which he's not
- 31:54their fucking slave. Yeah. I mean, I just hate
- 31:59when that, cause it's such just a look at me
- 32:01thing. I, I hate when players do that. I mean,
- 32:05I would love to see it. I love Ovi. So that'd
- 32:07be, it'd be kind of cool, I guess, but. I hate
- 32:10when they do that. And he doesn't seem like a
- 32:14guy. I mean, I obviously don't know him. I don't
- 32:17follow his career super close, but he doesn't
- 32:18seem like a guy who would do that. Be like, I
- 32:20want everything to be about me for a full year.
- 32:24Yeah. I don't see that in his personality and
- 32:27or character. Yeah. I could have seen that maybe
- 32:31earlier on in his career when he was crossing
- 32:34sauces. Being a farm animal Hey look at me I
- 32:44score goal Just some shit like that but but uh,
- 32:52but yes I think Buffalo and The Bruins are playing
- 32:58right now if I'm not mistaken they are I think
- 33:02it just started It's the end of the first Oh
- 33:05never mind Zero, zero. I was watching the Habs
- 33:10lightning game before we came on here. I was
- 33:13getting a little, uh, getting a little feisty.
- 33:16Yeah. I have it. Corey Perry up to his, up to
- 33:18his old tricks. What else is he going to do?
- 33:23He's just fucking fighting. Hey, Canadians legend.
- 33:30Yeah. Kind of, but I mean, he was on that final.
- 33:36team that yeah that team that was just randomly
- 33:38really good yeah um but yeah i also have the
- 33:45over in the lightnings canadians uh because i
- 33:47saw that it was at six even and i'm like i mean
- 33:51i gotta take that i don't know what that what
- 33:53it's at now um it's like almost halfway through
- 33:57the uh the second period so i don't know it's
- 34:00still one one yeah What they call a bunch of
- 34:06penalties in this game. Bunch of power plays.
- 34:10There were like two or three in the first period.
- 34:12One was ended up being like two seconds long
- 34:14as Kuturov hip checked that guy, but. Yeah. He
- 34:20just like took him out. Yeah. You can have the
- 34:23puck. No, no. It's like right in the middle of
- 34:26the ice too. It was, it was great. I was like,
- 34:29why don't you think you can get away with that?
- 34:30And you literally like flipped him over. So what?
- 34:33No discretion. That guy, sometimes his wires
- 34:37cross and it's like being an idiot, but I'm not
- 34:45a lightning fan, so I don't really care. But,
- 34:49um, moving on. Um, yes, Chris. Well, I was going
- 34:54to say, um, my dad is a flyer fan. He was texting
- 34:57me on Sunday about like, Oh, there are two. Oh,
- 35:00it was awesome. I was like, Oh, cool. Good for
- 35:01the fires. I was like, I knew obviously the kid,
- 35:04the boy, but like, I don't think I can name a
- 35:07single other player on that team. So I took a
- 35:09look at their roster and I was scrolling. I was
- 35:12like, I think I've heard of some of these guys,
- 35:14but I no fucking clue. So the fact that Sean
- 35:18said the rag tag is flyers bunch ever, which
- 35:22for that team is saying that franchise is saying
- 35:24something. I was like, yeah, pretty accurate.
- 35:27It's literally like the radiest team they've
- 35:30had in a long time. I love it. Yeah. It's great.
- 35:37Yeah. I'm like, connect me. Zegris. I've heard
- 35:39of them. Sandheim. Couturier. Yeah. Couturier.
- 35:47No, nothing else. Yeah. Well. Shit happens. Oh,
- 35:58I love that. I love that. Those are the teams
- 36:00I want to root for. The power of friendship.
- 36:06I don't hate all of you yet. Yeah, I don't hate
- 36:12this kid, but I'm very jealous of his life. Depending
- 36:17on how far the Flyers go, and depending on how
- 36:21Brady Martin's career turns out, I might hate
- 36:23Porter Marton. Through no fault of his own. But
- 36:26I'll probably direct that towards the the predators
- 36:33management anyway Whatever anyways other playoff
- 36:40stuff We touched a little bit about Canadians
- 36:46lightning I'm I have it behind on behind me because
- 36:51I have the over and You know, they're A lot of
- 36:57penalties right now. It's weird because I don't
- 37:05think they're calling it all, but they're letting
- 37:08the boys play, but also they're trying to let
- 37:12it not get out of hand. I think Tampa has a power
- 37:16play right now at the 9 .27 mark. What is that?
- 37:24I think so. I think they're on the power play.
- 37:29I need new glasses. Well, the in -depth analysis.
- 37:33Anyway, that game won. I didn't watch it because
- 37:39that was two days ago during WrestleMania. So
- 37:42it ended four to three in overtime. And I don't
- 37:51know. It feels like the Tampa Bay of them like
- 37:55being really good might be gone just because
- 38:00it feels like Vasovsky isn't that good anymore
- 38:04because like the last two times they've been
- 38:08to the playoffs they've lost in the first round
- 38:10like I don't know if you guys remember that but
- 38:13like basically since the last time they've been
- 38:16to the cup final I think they've gone out in
- 38:19the first round damn yeah Last year they lost
- 38:24in five games to the Florida Panthers. That was
- 38:28in the first round. Yeah. People forget that.
- 38:31I remember they lost to the Panthers, but I forgot
- 38:33it was the first round. Um, I didn't, I didn't
- 38:38know the Canadians were in. I didn't know that
- 38:39they were playing Tampa. So when I flipped it
- 38:42on and I was like, Oh, Tampa's probably just
- 38:44gonna like steam roll them or something. And
- 38:45then I saw on the top is like Montreal lead series
- 38:48one, nothing. I was like, Oh, the fuck do I know?
- 38:54So, that makes sense then, with what you're saying.
- 38:57Yeah. And Montreal, they're like the, I was hearing
- 39:01them talk before the game. This is like the second
- 39:05youngest team in the NHL. The first being the
- 39:09Chicago Blackhawks. And they were terrible. It's
- 39:15like a lot of youth right now. And it's exciting.
- 39:21Slavkovsky had a hat trick in game one. That
- 39:24was exciting. Yeah. So she now that WrestleMania
- 39:35is over. And like, you know, other stuff, I'm
- 39:40gonna watch NHL hockey right now. It's kind of
- 39:43crazy. Because I haven't watched hockey all basically
- 39:48all season because it's so hard to watch the
- 39:49games That I care about So but but later on today
- 39:57the mammoth play the Golden Knights Vegas leads
- 40:01that series one to nothing. I really want the
- 40:06mammoth to win this playoff series and I think
- 40:10everyone does because no one likes the Golden
- 40:13Knights except if you live in Vegas Which only
- 40:18fucking old crusty ass people live in Vegas She
- 40:24yeah See what else Kings avalanche Obviously
- 40:32Colorado up one nothing at this point that first
- 40:36game that they played very boring snooze fest
- 40:41yes, that was We were we were together watching
- 40:46that game. What what day was that? Sunday Sunday
- 40:50Sunday that was Sunday Yeah, it was on it was
- 40:54not the bar and I remember Sean sent he had the
- 40:57over and I was rooting for him obviously and
- 41:00then just Nothing was happening Nowhere close
- 41:06The thing about that that game one though is
- 41:14like they were both firing at the net. I mean,
- 41:19it was just either like, block shots or just
- 41:23whiffed on a puck. And there were a couple that
- 41:29were like, how did you miss the net? Like, I
- 41:33mean, both teams were trying like real hard for
- 41:36that over to hit and nothing was just going either
- 41:39team's way. Yeah, not sure what's going on there.
- 41:44Don't know maybe it'll open up open up tonight
- 41:47But other than that I mean here's the the wild
- 41:53stars stars won last night But in game one the
- 41:58wild beat the shit out of the stars Which made
- 42:01me happy because I hate the stars I Think that
- 42:07game ended five one so it's one. Yeah series
- 42:12is tied up now Ducks, Oilers, Oilers one. They,
- 42:18they, they score on a last, uh, last minute goal,
- 42:20I believe in regulation. So looking good so far
- 42:25for my Oilers future. Weren't they up to 15 more
- 42:30to go? And then, and then almost lost. Uh, yeah.
- 42:38I was just, I didn't, I wasn't watching it. I
- 42:41didn't want, I was like following like the box
- 42:43scores. And I was like, you know, like baseball
- 42:45scores. And then I saw, um, and I was up three
- 42:49to two. I was like, weren't they, wasn't it just
- 42:51two nothing? I was like, I mean, the McDavid
- 42:54hate I'm rooting for your future, but the McDavid
- 42:56hater in me was pretty excited about that. Fair
- 43:00enough. Uh, no issue there, but, uh, but yeah,
- 43:06I mean, this Oilers team feels like it's not
- 43:10as good as the last two so we'll see so it'll
- 43:14be the one to win it yeah without the Panthers
- 43:19it doesn't it doesn't really feel like there's
- 43:21a clear cut like kind of cup favorite right now
- 43:26nobody's i mean except for the the Avalanche
- 43:29which i mean That series is so boring to watch.
- 43:34It's like what is what is happening here? Also,
- 43:37they won the presence trophy. So they're cursed
- 43:39So it's kind of just a matter of time unless
- 43:42they overcome it, which I'll be upset Obviously
- 43:46for monetary reasons, but also for I don't like
- 43:51them. Yeah for fandom reasons, so But uh But
- 43:58yeah Can we can we rewind a sec? Yeah. Chris,
- 44:03you're a McDavid hater. Yeah. What is it? So
- 44:08it's just, I nothing against him personally.
- 44:10I, it's just fun to be a hater. Okay. Okay. That's
- 44:14respectable. I nothing against him whatsoever.
- 44:18Like I just, it's just fun to be mean. I was,
- 44:22I was thinking about it and I was like, I think
- 44:24McDavid might be the only athlete. Like that's.
- 44:30The best to do it right now like you can't say
- 44:34that McDavid isn't the best player in the NHL
- 44:36No, he is and like again like nothing. I just
- 44:40it's just fun I think he's I think he's like
- 44:43the only athlete where I'm like Yeah, go go win
- 44:48one You're the best you should go win one. I
- 44:52do I do I do hope he wins if he doesn't win at
- 44:56least one it'll be a fucking travesty just for
- 44:59The sport, but yeah, it's just fun to, uh, hate,
- 45:04be a hater. Okay. That's if they, if they win
- 45:07a cup, I will not be like upset at all. If anything,
- 45:10I'll be happy because we'll, we'll finally one
- 45:12is. Yeah. Well, I mean, also like, I feel like
- 45:21every other athlete, and this could be a very
- 45:24biased opinion, but I feel like every other athlete
- 45:27that is like. At the top of their game the best
- 45:31in their respective sport is kind of more or
- 45:35less handed Like they're They're obviously like
- 45:43the poster child for their respective leagues
- 45:45so they get more shit You mean like they they
- 45:52win they actually win championships Yeah I feel
- 45:58like in most other sports, I'm just thinking,
- 46:01well, football, I don't know, but baseball and
- 46:05like with Shohei, it's like, yeah, I mean, yeah,
- 46:08he plays for the Dodgers. So like, I don't know.
- 46:12It's like, yeah, he played, he's the best player
- 46:14on the planet, possibly ever, probably ever,
- 46:18but he also plays on a fucking super team. Yeah.
- 46:22So, and it's like, This is where it kind of gets
- 46:27controversial. I think of like Patrick Mahomes
- 46:29and just like some of the like the the calls
- 46:32that he gets and doesn't get or it's like Oh,
- 46:37this is rigged like you feel like it's rigged.
- 46:39You don't know if it's actually rigged, but you
- 46:41you save yourself this shit's rigged it's like
- 46:45Baseball is because the doctors have billions
- 46:51and billions of dollars to just throw at every
- 46:53good free agent Yeah. And that is a part of their
- 46:58game. Yeah. But it sucks. It's stupid. But I
- 47:05don't know. I mean, I hope you understand what
- 47:08I'm saying, what I'm saying. That's definitely,
- 47:10um, like in basketball, like when LeBron was
- 47:13at the like top of his, like at his peak, I mean,
- 47:18he still gets calls, but I mean, definitely,
- 47:21I mean, if you breathe on the guy wrong, You
- 47:23are getting, and it's the same thing now just
- 47:25with Shea. I'm not saying he's the best player
- 47:27in the league, but even though he's going to
- 47:31clearly win MVP, but like he draws fouls and
- 47:33that's just, mainly the style he plays being
- 47:35just unethical basketball, but he draws fouls
- 47:38like no other. So, yeah, I definitely get what
- 47:41you're saying. It's just like NHL doesn't give
- 47:45a fuck. If you're like their poster child, you
- 47:48will not win a cup. Like if you don't, and that's
- 47:50respectable. But it's also a little frustrating.
- 47:55Yeah It's just like the The game is different
- 48:04because like I mean, you know in hockey you can
- 48:06really only Affect the game, you know a maximum
- 48:11of like two minutes at a time, you know, so it's
- 48:16yeah, but I Don't know but if you get enough
- 48:19power plays with David on your team, like you're
- 48:23sure to win more games. Correct. And like, you
- 48:29know, also goes into it like, you know, salary
- 48:31cap and shit like that. Just the ways that the
- 48:37NHL is different, not just in their sport, but
- 48:39how it's ran. So it's, it's a lot harder to,
- 48:44I guess, create a team with one guy, more of
- 48:49a team sport. Yeah, I Don't know. I mean if the
- 48:55NHL wanted to give him a cup they'd give him
- 48:57a cup is what I'm like say Yeah, they would make
- 49:02it so Yeah, I also think it's like in the NHL.
- 49:07It's just like kind of harder to just give calls
- 49:11I feel like Especially in the playoffs where
- 49:15like rest will just Eat whistles as opposed to
- 49:19every other league or they like call more. It
- 49:24feels like in the postseason, which is again,
- 49:28kind of what makes it great to watch. Yeah. I
- 49:31don't know. There's just some thought I had just
- 49:33cause like, he's like the only athlete at the
- 49:37top of his game that I do not hate. And I actually
- 49:39want to see him like succeed. Yeah. And it's,
- 49:44it's not out of like jealousy. Either. It's just
- 49:49like, just go be great. I'm jealous. I wish me
- 49:53and McDavid was on my team. Yeah, but he's not.
- 49:58That's the thing. I wish I had a team of McDavid's.
- 50:03Yes. Yeah, why not? I mean, shit. Who says no
- 50:08to seven first -round graphics? No one in their
- 50:12right mind. Just go get them. Just go get them.
- 50:16Make him say no. That's how you get it. Yeah.
- 50:22McDavid. That was so stupid. I just remember
- 50:24that whole where that whole thing came from.
- 50:26Pred's Facebook. Pred's fan page Facebook. Like
- 50:31trade deadline. It's like, why don't we trade
- 50:33for Crosby? Hey, let's just get Sidney Crosby.
- 50:36Why doesn't anyone else thought of that? What
- 50:38a novel idea. Trading for the best player in
- 50:42the world at the time. Jesus Christ, some people
- 50:48should not be given the internet. It's fan pages
- 50:52on face. I mean, Twitter is toxic as hell, but
- 50:54fan pages on Facebook. Sometimes I'll get on
- 50:57there. And I'll just scroll through. I'm like,
- 50:59All right, these people, I can't tell if they're
- 51:01just right if it's rage bait, or they're just
- 51:04genuinely the stupidest people. Because it's
- 51:08just shit. That's like, you don't you either
- 51:11are trying to piss me off in which you have succeeded.
- 51:13or you have no idea what the fuck you're talking
- 51:15about and please stop. Either way, I'm furious.
- 51:20But most of those people were like old. So it's
- 51:23very realistic that it was like, oh, they're
- 51:25being like dead ass right now. Oh, that post
- 51:28that we were referencing about just go get across
- 51:29me. That was serious. Yeah. Yeah. That was, that
- 51:32was, I was more talking about like these days.
- 51:34Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah. Go get it. Hilarious.
- 51:41Just go get them. I love, I love that running
- 51:44joke we have about that though. Oh yeah. That's
- 51:47great. Dude. Order mark tone is just so good.
- 51:53Let's go get it. Well, we should have got him.
- 51:57Well, we should have got him, but he's, he's
- 52:00definitely a Barry trots kind of guy, you know,
- 52:06but he's not running the team. Well, he was at
- 52:09the time. So who, who is going to be the GM?
- 52:13After well, I guess now that the season Oh, Chris
- 52:16didn't listen to last week's episode. Not all
- 52:19of it. I listen to We know we don't know, okay
- 52:24There's some candidates in the running. I think
- 52:27there's a stars assistant GM There's John Chica
- 52:31who used to run the coyotes. So I don't want
- 52:34fucking that guy I think there's like a Florida
- 52:38Panthers Brett Peterson, yeah assistant GM and
- 52:45then Tom Fitzgerald who just got fired at G as
- 52:51GM for for Jersey because You know, we were talking
- 52:57we were like You know management is gonna be
- 53:00like I'll be good to keep it in the family. But
- 53:03so sick of that, right? It's what exactly that's
- 53:06what we said like It is obviously not worked
- 53:11Yeah. And at this point, like what, like who?
- 53:16Phil Housley? Like, what are you going to do?
- 53:19I don't even know what he's doing these days,
- 53:21but like, going from Poyle to Trotz, I was like,
- 53:26okay, yeah, that's nice. Even though Trotz has
- 53:29no experience, but whatever. It was like, it
- 53:31was a fun story, but you can't do that again.
- 53:36Right. It's, uh, do we just kind of scout better?
- 53:41Like, like that's it. If we just like, just improve
- 53:47who we pick at each, at each pick just a little
- 53:53bit, like just a little bit, like we'd be better.
- 54:00We'd be better. That's usually how teams get
- 54:02better is just picking better players. Yeah.
- 54:06Cause we stink at it. Four words at least but
- 54:13futures looking okay Just okay But could be could
- 54:20be better, but we'll see only time will tell
- 54:25I'm trying to think of what else here. I really
- 54:29don't have anything else regarding hockey The
- 54:36senators are playing the Hurricanes and the Hurricanes
- 54:39are up to nothing I don't know if senators are
- 54:43going to win a game. I wanted to talk about that.
- 54:45Um, but did y 'all watch last night? The sins.
- 54:51I did not carry on. Okay. Did you see the call
- 54:55that got like called back in overtime for offsides?
- 54:59I didn't see the offsides, but I saw that the
- 55:02goal was called off for officer. Okay. I mean,
- 55:04it was like literally just like you had to like
- 55:07go like frame by frame, like, okay, there he's
- 55:10like, He barely crossed it. So offsides and I
- 55:14remember I was watching it And I've had this
- 55:17a few times watching sports. I'm like we need
- 55:18to get rid of instant replay This is not what
- 55:21it's for. I think if you have to dissect it this
- 55:24much Stop it. I Don't like I it was like you
- 55:30took away such a cool moment. I mean Caroline
- 55:33wouldn't end up winning So I guess you no one
- 55:36will remember this in a week but like you took
- 55:39away a cool moment and for a guy being lit, probably
- 55:43like the closest you could to being on sides
- 55:47without being on side. So like this isn't what
- 55:51replay is supposed to be for to just dissect
- 55:54the game like this, but it just pissed me off.
- 55:59Yes. Very old man at cloud moment. Oh, there
- 56:03was a national championship thing. I think it
- 56:08was national championship in college basketball,
- 56:10Texas Tech was playing somebody and they literally
- 56:14had to or might have been just been a final four,
- 56:16but they're literally like reviewing out of bounds
- 56:20call and they had to like slow down and go like
- 56:23frame by frame on this like guards finger to
- 56:26see if it moved. like if a ball like grazed off
- 56:29it going out of bounds, it took like 30 minutes.
- 56:32Like this is not what it's for. Stop ruining
- 56:35the game with this. So yeah, that's I was like,
- 56:38obviously, we can't get rid of instant replay.
- 56:40But in that moment, I was like, God, this is
- 56:42the worst. Right? Yeah, my dad fucking hates
- 56:49instant replay. Yeah, I'm when it's like that.
- 56:53And especially I mean, College basketball every
- 56:56review they take feels like it takes 25 minutes
- 56:59at least Every like NFL. It's fast. I guess but
- 57:04like yeah every other sport. I feel like it takes
- 57:05forever That baseball baseball does it right
- 57:14Right. Is there any updates in the baseball world
- 57:17Chris? Um Cincinnati Reds are a fucking wagon
- 57:22just like everybody expected. They're beating
- 57:25that shit out of the race tonight. They are in
- 57:28first place in the NL Central. I saw on Twitter,
- 57:36the NL Central, every team, hold on, pull up
- 57:40the standings. Yes, every team in the NL Central
- 57:43has a winning record, which is pretty crazy.
- 57:47Compare it to the American League, who as a whole,
- 57:50the American League has Five teams with a winning
- 57:53record. The NLE says five teams and all five
- 57:56have a winning record. The Reds are in first
- 58:00and they will be 16 at God willing. They don't
- 58:03blow a nine one lead. There will be 16 and eight
- 58:06and the Brewers are in last 12 and nine and they're
- 58:09winning tonight too. Yeah. It's crazy. Um, nothing
- 58:17super crazy in terms of like just. like national
- 58:22storylines. Not looking good for a boy, Tony
- 58:27Vitello at San Francisco. It seems like they're
- 58:32just really bad. It seems like every time he
- 58:36speaks, Giants fans just get pissed off at the
- 58:40beginning of the season. I mean, they got swept
- 58:42by the Yankees to open the season. And they look
- 58:46bad. It's quite like two runs or something like
- 58:48all series. And he said something about like,
- 58:50we just got to essentially say, get, have to
- 58:55like, keep our emotions and paraphrasing, but
- 58:58like, keep our emotions in check, blah, blah,
- 58:59blah. And then like later that night, they asked
- 59:03like a player about that. And he was like, we're
- 59:06all grown men here. Like, well, it's we're three
- 59:08games in, we'll be fine. So it was like, it seems
- 59:12like every time he talks, people are just like,
- 59:14what the. What's this college guy talking about?
- 59:19Is this his first time in the in the MLB? Yeah,
- 59:23he got first. Yeah, he was hired this offseason
- 59:27first college manager or college coach, as I
- 59:31call it, to immediately go up to MLB. And I remember
- 59:36when we when that happened, we were talking about
- 59:39it. And I was like, I wonder if baseball would
- 59:41be the easiest. in terms of making the jump,
- 59:44in terms of just in game management. That's all
- 59:46I was talking about. And boy am I, I think I
- 59:50was wrong on that one because this team fucking
- 59:53sucks. Interesting. Well, like in terms of management,
- 1:00:00like is it just kind of managing like the batting
- 1:00:02order? Batting order. Yeah, it's like batting
- 1:00:05order and like obviously like bullpen and stuff
- 1:00:07like that. And defensive substitutions throughout.
- 1:00:11And, um, I was like, I mean, I'm not, wasn't
- 1:00:14saying it would be easy, but I was just saying,
- 1:00:16like, in terms of like the actual flow of the
- 1:00:19game, I feel like that would be the easiest sport
- 1:00:21to just kind of make in game substitutions. And
- 1:00:24I'm not, I've watched three giants games all
- 1:00:26years when the Reds played them. I don't really
- 1:00:30recall him botching anything. It's just the team
- 1:00:32as a whole is terrible and it seems like their
- 1:00:34culture is very bad. So I think I might've been
- 1:00:38looking like a good take. like two weeks into
- 1:00:41the season. Well, there's like a billion more
- 1:00:46games to go. So that's baseball. That's baseball,
- 1:00:50buddy. There was a very funny moment. I need
- 1:00:57to try to find it's going to take too long to
- 1:00:59find it was very niche clip, but there was a
- 1:01:01there was a pirate said, I forget who they're
- 1:01:03playing. Once upon a raise and they're showing
- 1:01:06a player in the batter's box from like a side
- 1:01:08alternate angle and they're zooming in on him.
- 1:01:11He just saw a guy, a young younger couple probably
- 1:01:17mid twenties and the crowd behind him. And the
- 1:01:20guy just reached over and grabbed his lady's
- 1:01:23titties. I saw that pretty aggressively. Yeah.
- 1:01:28I was like, Whoa, geez. Yeah. And she was like
- 1:01:33kind of cool. Like she got laughed it off. damn
- 1:01:35she was like hey stop i better marry that shit
- 1:01:39come here it probably is his wife i hope so but
- 1:01:50i remember seeing that clip and i was like damn
- 1:01:51i wish i was gonna be on the show so we kind
- 1:01:53of really want to talk about this did you guys
- 1:01:56see the titty grab God, how do you not be romantic
- 1:02:03about baseball? I Did see a video of this guy
- 1:02:11like calling out of work for the Cubs game that
- 1:02:14started at like noon or something on Friday and
- 1:02:19He was just like he was just beeping his microwave
- 1:02:22to sound like a heartbeat monitor. He's like,
- 1:02:24yeah I had to go to the hospital That's a new
- 1:02:33one. I haven't heard of that one. That's hilarious.
- 1:02:36Yeah, I haven't heard of that. That's good. Are
- 1:02:43we done with baseball? Move on. I got nothing
- 1:02:47else to talk about. All right. Well, we touched
- 1:02:52on it last week, but I think some more stuff
- 1:02:55has become available. This Diana Rossini Mike
- 1:02:59Vrabel affair. Uh, that, that happened. They
- 1:03:05did it. Yeah. Um, what? Yeah. I haven't been
- 1:03:13on since this happened. Um, yeah, she a hundred
- 1:03:16percent. Um, and it was, was it like confirmed
- 1:03:20that it was her husband who hired this private
- 1:03:23investigator? I don't know about that, but that's
- 1:03:28what I was. at a presser today. And he was like,
- 1:03:33I've had some very difficult conversations with
- 1:03:35my family and the team and the owner. And I'm
- 1:03:41like, oh, they, they fucking were having an affair.
- 1:03:45Yeah. The fact that nobody, like, I know Rossini
- 1:03:49kind of just says like, oh, it's bullshit, but
- 1:03:51like, I don't think I've heard variable say anything
- 1:03:55denying it. No. Which is. bananas. I feel like
- 1:04:00that'd be the first thing you would do. I did
- 1:04:04not have sexual relations with that woman. Yeah,
- 1:04:07like, I know I was crazy. And especially coming
- 1:04:12from a guy who is very much like a don't do dumb
- 1:04:15shit coach. Yeah, there's gonna be some players
- 1:04:20in that players in that locker room next time
- 1:04:22they're getting chewed out like, Hey, we should
- 1:04:24go fuck your reporter side piece. Quit yelling
- 1:04:28at me. Anything for a scoop? I hate to say it.
- 1:04:37I loved all the clips coming out of her just
- 1:04:41like shitting on her husband on various interviews.
- 1:04:44I thought it was so fun because she's been on
- 1:04:47part of my take a shit ton and out whenever she
- 1:04:50does it on there I was like oh she's busting
- 1:04:52his balls that's kind of like a fun relationship
- 1:04:54they have but then just to listen to everything
- 1:04:57I got out of context. I'll be it. But still,
- 1:04:59it's like, oh, she does this like all the time.
- 1:05:03She definitely fucked my frail. Yeah, damn. He's.
- 1:05:15Men in power. It's not even that much power,
- 1:05:21just the football team. They went to the soup.
- 1:05:28Yeah. Still lost. Very true. Didn't win. You
- 1:05:36know, when he was like, I'd have a hard conversation
- 1:05:41with the owner. I'm pretty sure him and Robert
- 1:05:43Kraft just fist bumped and he walked out of the
- 1:05:45room. Yeah. What's he going to do? Sit down,
- 1:05:51talk about character. Congratulations on your
- 1:05:54first affair. Gotta keep it in the rugged tugs,
- 1:05:58man. No cameras in there. See, the key is to
- 1:06:03do it with someone who doesn't speak English.
- 1:06:06The key is to do it with prostitutes. That's
- 1:06:10the key. I saw a lot of stuff like she'll be
- 1:06:16working at Barstool in three weeks. I mean, yeah,
- 1:06:20that's not... inaccurate at all. They'll give
- 1:06:26her a job. I think I said that last week too.
- 1:06:32Barstool is kind of like how Nick Saban would
- 1:06:35always take in these like fired, like somewhat
- 1:06:38disgraced college football coaches and turn their
- 1:06:40careers around. Barstool is kind of like that,
- 1:06:42but with like scumbag media personality, John
- 1:06:46Gruden. to a lesser extent kind of Deon Sanders.
- 1:06:53Yeah. Yeah, damn. Gosh, you just said something
- 1:07:00that that triggered something in my head about
- 1:07:02something to talk about, but I forgot what it
- 1:07:04was. John Gruden. Before that. Nick Saban disgraced.
- 1:07:11There it is. OK, I don't know if you guys saw
- 1:07:14this, but Nick Saban is a part of the committee.
- 1:07:17to find a new GM. Is minority owner of the team.
- 1:07:23Correct. Yeah. I mean, cool. Well, like he's
- 1:07:30like, I don't I don't know much about hockey.
- 1:07:33I'll be the first person to tell you. But what
- 1:07:37I do know is successful organizations. And I
- 1:07:40was like, damn, you're right. And so. My, my
- 1:07:47input is probably minimal. He didn't say this.
- 1:07:52I'm just assuming like his input is probably
- 1:07:54minimal, but also his opinion might be valued
- 1:07:58in some aspects. I feel like he might be more
- 1:08:02of like a care, like going to character, like,
- 1:08:05Hey, this guy, like he's got that fire. Like
- 1:08:08he Right. I don't know anything about the, you
- 1:08:11won't know anything about the X's and O's, but
- 1:08:12they ask them like, Hey, what do you think about
- 1:08:14this guy? Like he, he, he's a fucking winner.
- 1:08:17Yeah. Hopefully that's his input. Like he's in
- 1:08:21the meetings with the GMs. Interesting. So I
- 1:08:27read that today and I was like, huh, I don't
- 1:08:30hate that. As long as it works out. Right. Yeah.
- 1:08:34As long as it works out. Um, I'll hate it if
- 1:08:38it doesn't. Look at this fucking college football
- 1:08:41coach, fucking hiring our GM. This guy doesn't
- 1:08:46know anything about Puck. Fucking Ted Lasso,
- 1:08:48what is this shit? We got Alabama Jones in our
- 1:08:56foreign office. That is something the Predators
- 1:08:59would do, just like some type of Ted Lasso shenanigan.
- 1:09:06Like when the Browns were trying to hire Condoleezza
- 1:09:08Rice. Yeah, okay, yeah. They weren't, but...
- 1:09:14They weren't, but that was Adam Schefter tweeted
- 1:09:18it. They were not denying that they were trying
- 1:09:24to. Yep. I could very much see the Preds pulling
- 1:09:33some shit, though. This guy? You know, nothing
- 1:09:39has worked. Let's try something completely different.
- 1:09:44Bill Belichick. We have two of the smartest sports
- 1:09:52minds in all of sportsdom. The only problem is
- 1:09:59they have never played hockey. The only drawback
- 1:10:03is they were in a completely different sport.
- 1:10:10Yeah. podcast. They should have a podcast together
- 1:10:15where they talk about football. I can that not
- 1:10:20name a podcast that I would rather not listen
- 1:10:23to others that could be potentially the most
- 1:10:25boring. Real football sickos. If Belichick would
- 1:10:31actually talk, it could be entertaining, but
- 1:10:35big if. Yeah, that'd be a, their, their demographic
- 1:10:40would be football coaches. Yeah. Or just like
- 1:10:45football fans, like our dad's ages. Yeah. And
- 1:10:52just talk about random plays from random years
- 1:10:56from random teams. When I was with the dolphins.
- 1:11:00We ran the part about another. Oh, that's very
- 1:11:04interesting Nick. It's my bill Belichick impression.
- 1:11:08It's pretty good. Anyway, he's still dating that
- 1:11:11chick. I don't see why not. I haven't heard anything
- 1:11:16from him lately. It's gonna make sure love is
- 1:11:19still alive. Love is real. Well, shit, man. Oh,
- 1:11:29Not sports, but I thought it was interesting.
- 1:11:31You see the UK banned, um, all like smoke or
- 1:11:35like tobacco products and like vape products
- 1:11:38for anybody born after 2008. No. Yeah. The UK.
- 1:11:45Oh, the UK. Yeah. So if you're born in 2009,
- 1:11:50so it's like, if you're 17 or younger, you can
- 1:11:55never buy like tobacco products. in the UK, legally.
- 1:12:00Holy shit. Yeah. That was wild. That's fucking
- 1:12:06crazy. Dude, not here. It's not here. Yeah. That
- 1:12:16will never be not here. Wow. That was crazy.
- 1:12:23That is crazy. So we'll just hop on the trolley
- 1:12:26and go to France. Well, you have to take a plane.
- 1:12:30Yeah, there's an ocean between the UK and the
- 1:12:35rest of Europe. Well, they always talk about
- 1:12:36going on a train and going to a different country.
- 1:12:40There's like five countries in the UK. Oh. Yeah,
- 1:12:49there's England, there's Wales, Scotland, Ireland.
- 1:12:55Wales is a country? Yes. I thought it was a city.
- 1:12:59Wales is a country. Jesus, well, we are sports
- 1:13:05podcast. Yes, isn't a geography podcast. Also,
- 1:13:11I don't know anything about over there. It's
- 1:13:14weird over there. They teach their children to
- 1:13:18be wizards. That's funny. Shit you hear that
- 1:13:30Sean wizards and witches that's London Thank
- 1:13:40you so much for listening thank you so much for
- 1:13:43watching we appreciate it is like uh...
