So there you go. And also Candiablings behind the scenes, and we
2:28
want to thank everybody for joining us. We've got to right show, and
2:30
we'll go ahead and acknowledge the highs. First, we'll start with the first
2:34
high from Penman's far. It's glad you can be on. And the second
2:38
one we have here on the high end is an accord good way to start
2:44
this tonight. There you go. So we like having our regulars on here.
2:49
Good stuff. That's what makes it all fun to be able to make
2:51
sure that people appreciate the work we do behind the scenes and on camera as
2:54
well. All right, snack show, And when you look at the ill
3:00
did Prime live up to the hype? Well that's a good one. Now
3:01
you understand why I told you to hang around Nion Sanders first act forty five,
3:07
forty two win over TCU. Now let's go ahead and point out this
3:12
Saturday scenario. The cost of everyone last season was two hundred and twenty two
3:16
bucks. For this Saturday's opener, fans will pay four hundred and seventy six
3:22
dollars versus a big twelve former big than the rest of the corn Huskers.
3:30
Now, I'll give you my prediction before I turn over to you guys,
3:32
that the corn Huskers will get bulldozed in Boulder. It never used to be
3:38
that way, but it will happen this way. I guarantee that the corn
3:43
Huskers will lose in double figures and then some I'll turn over to my right
3:47
JBLS. Listen, what Dion did with this team hasn't been done in college
3:53
football before. He rebuilt it in one year, and that's why everybody was
3:59
worried. He going into the first game against TCU was a team that was
4:02
in the national championship game. TCU should be disgusted with their performance. You
4:10
know, they should not have lost that game, being at home, first
4:15
week of the season after coming out off a national championship game. It's a
4:18
disgrace. But all the credit to Dion from putting together that team, getting
4:23
him to buy in his son who appens to be the quarterback. That had
4:27
to be a phenomenal experience for him to get that first win at that level
4:30
and seeing his son, who's now a Heisman candidate after that great game.
4:33
And then he has the other guy play in both ways. Nobody in Division
4:38
one plays both ways. And not only did he play both ways, he
4:42
had a phenomenal game on the offense and defensive side. You know, the
4:46
defense is going to be a little bit better. But TCU, big twelve,
4:50
great offense. Can't really fault him for that. But they're going to
4:55
go to Nebraska. Nebraska has got a much better defense. But I the
5:00
little see that's being a close game. You know, the talent level doesn't
5:02
compare right now Boulder compared to Nebraska. Yeah, and I should point out
5:08
Pensland Sports. I think he did. I think he did. Beating TCU
5:12
was a huge statement of the game owned Penland. True words can be spoken.
5:15
There no doubt about that. Ar We'll flip it over to George Well.
5:19
I know that Sanders has done a great job already in the short time
5:26
he's been there, and there's no question about it. I agree with you,
5:30
JB. I think Michigan tasted that terrible loss that they had in the
5:35
National semifinals last December, and then of course we know that TCU lead a
5:43
big egg in Liusey and Georgia for the championship. So now they've got a
5:47
couple of bad games in a row TCU. But I'm not taking anything away
5:51
from Dion Sanders. I mean, he had those guys ready to play.
5:55
They did a hell of a job against a top team, a top twenty
5:59
team and TC you and it's just remarkable what he's been able to achieve over
6:02
there in such a short period of time. I'm with you, guys,
6:05
I am not impressed. Nebraska's really had a bad go of it the last
6:11
few years and many years now. God, I got to think back to
6:15
Tom Osborne when he was coached for crying out loud as to when they were
6:18
such a powerhouse, and you know then when the Big ten letting Nebaskue in
6:23
all this to say that, yes, Andrews is going to be and I
6:26
agree with you guys, it's gonna be a double digit victory, no question
6:29
about it. This coming weekend. Well, I know one thing, Matt
6:31
Rule is going to have his hands full, and I think he'll do eventually.
6:35
He'll do a really good job over there. And the thing that we
6:39
have to understand is after watching this game, there's really then Sanders is going
6:45
to the NFL. No way. He loves coaching kids and he don't want
6:46
to coach Matt. He has more control over him anyways, and I think
6:49
that these kids will look up to him. There's no way he'll ever go
6:53
the NFL. I'm convinced the state college. But I don't think you're going
6:55
to Florida State anytime since, like dental spipes a litted because Mike Norvell doing
6:59
a really good job. So d l being bowler for a while. Go
7:01
ahead, Jacob, Yeah, yeah, I didn't care what the whole TCU
7:08
did was going to be. I didn't I didn't have a prediction, but
7:11
I didn't care regardless of what that was going to be. That was an
7:14
amazing win, but they were going to absolutely curb stomp Nebraska. I've said
7:18
that then, I say it now and this just makes it even more.
7:23
I didn't know, but it's like Matt Rules, not at that level of
7:27
ad What Dion was deon was tremendous in Jackson State when we brought that part
7:30
up. He's a great coach, tremendous coach. He's a great motivator.
7:34
He knows the game. And to get the idea of Travis Hunter doing what
7:39
he did shows what kind of coach he is and the big and I had
7:43
nine wins. You ever heard me, y'all heard me here in pundit.
7:46
You heard me. I said nine wins again, this you know, and
7:49
I believe it's gonna happen but as far as Nebraska goes, the Big Ten,
7:55
as we know, it is dead. When they bring every with the
7:59
UCLA US, he's all of them right there. It's like they're gonna have
8:01
to catch up with the offense. Can't do just defenses anymore. I mean,
8:05
you had Minnesota Nebraska thirteen ten. They're gonna they're gonna survive anymore because
8:13
you're gonna see this coming Saturday. What's going to happen when you normally and
8:18
I will will be the last way and standing because they've got a top notch
8:22
defense. They'll be the last. They will be the last team standing on
8:26
this. But they will fall to and then it is like Kirk Ferrence will
8:31
be gone, and then they want to go get an offensive minded coach because
8:35
the USC and what Dion is gonna do this Saturday is he's gonna show them
8:39
what the what's gonna happen with a lot of these traditional schools pretty soon?
8:45
All right? You know, George, you're responsible to the Chatlan right,
8:48
I'm gonna put him up and you're gonna read them all right. Well,
8:50
nice to hear it from you, two Pensman sports. Here's still recovery.
8:54
Like I am from Michigan's game against TCU. Hellol, All right, well,
9:01
an excellent George. The story is great with Colorado, but they did
9:05
have a game in one hundred degree heat. I think they are being overhyped.
9:09
The defense didn't look great after moving Hunter to receiver. I want to
9:15
know about that. And Keegan says the defense will have to step it up
9:18
if Hunter will play receiver more. Okay, well again, we'll see how
9:24
it all places. Yeah, all right, next next topic should hit closer
9:26
home for a couple of people. Anymos on the Pannel Candy Cubs overtake the
9:31
Milunkee Brewers. Okay, I'm sorry, I do what you said, Scott,
9:37
Sure, Candy Cubs overtake the Milwaukee Brewers. Oh, I think so.
9:39
I mean they're on fire right now. They got it down to one
9:43
and a half. They didn't have. They'd up blown the two games over
9:46
the weekend in the night that to Cincinnati. They'd be a first place by
9:50
a half a game. Right now, they're firing at all cylinders. Milwaukee,
9:54
who went had had their hot streak two weeks ago where they won what
9:58
was it, Jacob not an a row? Yep, you know they get
10:03
into half a game. Yeah, they gave the half a game. Plinting
10:05
guy in a row. The Cubs, it's their year. Sometimes things just
10:11
click and they go together. This just just happens to be their year.
10:15
With everything that's going on. They've made the right choices with who they brought
10:18
in when they brought Bellinger in. They're bringing rookies up to pitch, and
10:22
their their pitching lights out. Everything's clicking. Sazuoki's on fire. You know.
10:28
I think that that they win the division that last week, it is
10:31
going to be something to say, Yeah, Cody Bellinger, no doubt.
10:35
I saw that in playing earlier. I went ahead with a pick up for
10:37
Chicago. But let me I'll turn over to Georgia Row concluding, am I
10:43
saying, miss, go ahead, George, I'm still going with Milwaukee.
10:45
I know it's been a really great Cubs team this year, but there's something
10:48
about Milwaukee. I really like they got a great lineup and I really think
10:54
that they have a better pitching staff than the Cubs do. That being said,
10:58
of course, the Cubs are on fire. I mean then, no
11:00
question about it. They've done a great job and I think that this is
11:03
great for baseball. They'll come on, guys. I mean, you know,
11:05
whether you're a fan of Brewtown or Chicago, these cities are so close
11:09
to each other. Fans can get on the get on the train, or
11:13
get on the get in the car, or take a plane, I guess
11:16
if you want to, or bust too. But I love it that those
11:18
cities are so close to each other, and they're gonna be battling till the
11:22
very end, in all likelihood in September. So it's it's great for baseball,
11:26
it's great for that division. But I still give the edge to the
11:30
brew crew. Okay, you know what, before we turn over to Jacob,
11:33
George, you gotta stay caught up. We're on a roll at the
11:35
chat room. Sure thirty the Colorado, all right, Well, depend on
11:46
credit. He's not afraid to go out of the limb, whether we agree
11:48
with him or not. That's why they that limb is also rotten and he's
11:52
gonna fall from it. All right, Well, we'll see comes one tonight.
11:56
Brewers lost also, George, boy, and only answer the intrigue,
12:03
Okay, go ahead. And the lady named Candy, I think I know
12:05
her. Depends on who's hot at the end. It might come down to
12:09
the last series. As you said, jab between Milwaukee and the cops.
12:13
Let's hope solong. You know, that's how these things play out. All
12:18
right, So who's next? I forgot this guy next to me, all
12:24
right, you go, kid, Yeah, this is our confidential for the
12:26
nice since we don't have the confidential, this is exact things one of the
12:31
once JV told me you weren't doing a confidential, we'll do confidential too here.
12:35
Yeah. The biggest things I do now that we're seeing this, I
12:39
do have a belief that Cups can do it. It's like once they hit
12:41
the playoffs, and this is the thing with this, it's like all the
12:46
credit to David Ross for learning some things throughout this year, because he's made
12:52
some mistakes too. My worry during the playoffs is that game like he had
13:00
with the two to one loss against the Reds, which you can't have new
13:03
you can't have hardly any of those in the playoffs. It's like he's still
13:09
there are some of those and some of those losses, he's still having those
13:13
having those brain farts. And the biggest thing is don't kind of brain farts
13:18
you I mean, those guys brain farts gotta remember that Bryan Snicker doesn't make
13:20
those that he also had. He also had twenty years in the miners.
13:24
He also had a certain time in the miners. Which See, the thing
13:28
is, if David Ross does find his way to the World Series, that'll
13:31
end the Bryan Snicker stories of going to the thing, coming to the coming
13:35
to the major leagues after a big time in the miners. They're just gonna
13:39
just hire people and be done with it. It's like David Ross is learning
13:43
and the team is starting to gel and they're playing. They are playing hot
13:48
and they're playing confidant. Remember why I talked about that JB in one of
13:52
our shows. They're I don't know how wonderful they are as far as I
13:56
mean, they are playing together, they're playing very confident. It's those are
14:01
the big things I think what makes them a really good team, Like especially
14:05
with the next year, it's the specific things that be neatly said are need
14:09
to be brought in, but playing confident, they wouldn't need it. I'm
14:13
glad that there's no trade deadline because it doesn't they're having a confidence the greatness
14:18
right now and they're going for it, and you don't want to burn that.
14:22
So I'm glad they're keeping with what they are. Will to see what
14:26
happens. All right, Well, here's what you have. Crack Council is
14:31
still the manager, okay O the Milwaukee Brewers. And if he's the most
14:35
underrated manager in baseball, find me somebody that is. Okay, because this
14:37
guy's unbelievable. He works well, he's done in that small market and I
14:41
repeat, small market with small market money, who still makes it work?
14:46
Now? Okay, that was a great mind. Yeah he is now Yeah,
14:50
only you forgot to think alike this time. Okay, whatever, but
14:54
no one got past him. All right, So let's talk about twenty game
14:56
winner watch okay, and this relates to the Cubs and all the contenders,
15:00
at least in the National League. Justin Steele sixteen wins. Right, here's
15:05
a guy that we haven't mentioned yet but we will now, Okay, Spencer
15:09
Strider the Braves sixteen and Tuan Walker of the Phillies fifteen. So if there's
15:16
a guy that stands a chance to go out there and help the Cubs over
15:20
take the Brewers, you know, Justin Steel will definitely be the arm that
15:26
you need, and that Cubs rotation to finish the job with just a matter
15:30
of a few weeks left to go. Anyways, and he thoughts about what
15:33
on any of that, and JB will start it off of you. So,
15:35
I mean, Steele has been unbelievable this year, you know. And
15:41
even though he's been unbelievable, Stroman fell off, which you know, and
15:46
Headricks has been But you know, I like the fact that they had the
15:52
rookie come up today close out the game, his first time pitching of the
15:56
major League's got one, two, three of the night, struck out the
16:00
first guy he faced. They have the other rookie who's starting. They have
16:03
some good young pictures if if they're confident, and they don't, you know,
16:08
go over their heads and start getting nervous because it's a pennant race.
16:12
I think their picture is just as good as Milwaukee. I think that they
16:15
have a really good chance, you know, and they and they have better
16:18
a leadership between Bellinger, uh you know, and Hendricks and you know,
16:25
other guys that we can mention this team has the right chemistry to make something
16:30
happen. That's not taking anything to get away from counsel or Milwaukee. They're
16:33
a good team. You know, but the Cubs just they remind me of
16:38
the midnight d J keys. They may not win it this year, but
16:42
watch out next year. Let me tell you this, because you want a
16:47
vision, I mean, they're gonna win at all. All you need to
16:48
do is go right down on ninety five south of Miami where the Marlins play.
16:52
Okay, they got in there's a wild card twice, okay, and
16:56
won it all. So when an indivision isn't necessarily the way, it's certainly
17:00
a way that you want to do, all right, George Jacob, And
17:04
now you want to answer it before we go, Well, obviously Steele has
17:08
done a great job, Like you said, JP sixteen and three two point
17:12
five five era Strider for Atlanta sixteen wins, four losses, and then I
17:19
think you mentioned Walker from Philadelphia's got fifteen wins. You know, it's kind
17:23
of sad, but you know, even the even the twenty game winner thing
17:26
is dying out in baseball right now because of so many pitching change and so
17:30
much selective maneuvering by the managers and bringing in relief pitchers. We're seeing a
17:37
decline in even a guy getting twenty wins. So all that being said,
17:42
Yeah, I mean these are good, strong young arms. Cubs have some
17:47
good ones there, and so does Atlanta. I still wish Detroit would have
17:52
played the Cubs back in nineteen eighty four. I'm not trying to recreate history,
17:56
but that would have been such a you are that's what. That would
18:00
have been, such a sweet series, Scott instead of San Diego. Yeah,
18:06
I know, I know that would have been. That would have been
18:07
a ratings monster. That would have been great. Even Kirk Gouty would have
18:11
been jumping out of his shorts. Yeah that's all right, George. Right
18:17
now I classify you as delusional because it never happens. Let's stick with the
18:21
past. But it would have been awesome. It would have been awesome.
18:23
I don't know if we even had internet back in nineteen eighty four. ESPN
18:26
was only five years old, So whatever, there you go. Oh you
18:33
have been the thing about Steele, it's steel. And I'll say this,
18:36
JB steals the reason why I was saying, I can be ready to let
18:42
to let Kyle hendrisko, because remember my guy is Kyle Hendricks, the placement
18:48
guy who can set it through, who can set up the picture, who
18:52
can set up the hitters with a couple of pitches, get it early out.
18:56
Steal's doing that now, and you're doing it more dominantly. He's doing
19:00
it, and it's like he's doing it more dominantly, and I'm like,
19:03
I the biggest thing. I would love Hendricks to be able to come back
19:07
to his thing. But problem with him is he is letting so many stolen
19:11
bases have he's about a step and a half off and he's throwing more pitches
19:15
to set up the hit her, so he gets him in trouble. He's
19:18
still an effective pitcher and he's still got Like I'll give it to you,
19:22
George, if I don't think anybody's gonna complain on Detroit. If you got
19:26
Kyle Hendrix, he's I'm just saying on Detroit's thing because he has six seven
19:30
innings right off the bat, right you know which I was gonna say.
19:34
But I'm ready for that thing because it's like Detroit's in a different mood than
19:38
the Cubs are. They're trying to build, and the Cubs might be now,
19:42
so I could be ready. I could be ready to be able to
19:47
say goodbye, to be able to do that because it's a steel go get
19:49
some other I mean, I'll say goodbye to Hendricks and definitely Strom and get
19:52
a couple others because they've got some things going. They're definitely smiling and lets
19:59
you put him in the bullpen. Yeah. The only thing I'm going to
20:00
add to this whole thing. Number one, I'm Ryan J. B Ellis
20:03
on this. Okay, the Cubs will be much better next year and the
20:07
Tigers well, because they're gonna not deal with Miguel Traverra's salary, and that's
20:11
gonna segway into something really quickly, which is the reason why there's a method
20:15
to my madness. But I had to take a little small tee tour before
20:18
I get to make it. You have plenty of madness? Is that method?
20:21
Yeah? You know, you guys. If anybody knows it more than
20:23
you three, I'd like to know who, because you guys definitely know it.
20:27
Even if Humpty Dumpty, you never know what's gonna happen to this version
20:30
of it. Yeah, but at any rate you're telling me talk about Humpty
20:34
Dumpty in the Sports Exchange, Well, I don't worry. If you want
20:37
to know the Humpty Dumpty stories, I'll order tribute to gmail dot com or
20:40
work, and I'll give you the scoop on that. Okay, that's one
20:42
of my many nicknames. So all right, what that said, We're gonna
20:47
talking about reason milestones. I'm only gonna touch on two of them, and
20:51
then you'll understand in a moment why I'm only talked too. I saw this
20:55
guy hit bombs in Miami. Man, we're not stuck in the start thing
20:57
of brand and we're talking bombs at Marlin's Park. Jim carl will stand and
21:03
four hundred ome runs j b Ellis. When this guy hits him, he
21:07
hits him deep. Oh you know. And I got that deep thing,
21:10
by the way, from a guy by the name of Andy Loscano who used
21:14
to be a sportscaster here in Miami, and his favorite call on the air
21:18
was where did he hit it? Keep there? You got the exact And
21:25
that's why when I mentioned Jim Turreli, Stan, we hit a deep there
21:29
you go. You know where I'll pat those events if I can afford it.
21:33
But Jim Turreli Stan, he doesn't get cheated out of his way and
21:34
doesn't jab ellis no, I mean tremendous power. The issue is injuries and
21:42
you know, getting older. Can you imagine if he was healthy, he'd
21:47
probably be close to four fifty five hundred home runs right now? You know,
21:51
but four hundred home runs is some you know feet still like the third
21:56
quickest of all time. Yeah, I mean, he's a phenomenal power.
22:00
I like you said, when he hits it, he just destroys the baseball.
22:06
He's just gonna work enough, striking out so much. I mean,
22:07
that's been his major floor this year. That's that's like throughout baseball that it's
22:14
not just him. Hey, Jamie, if this guy got hit home runs
22:18
in those other ballpark band boxes years ago, this guy would be a five
22:22
hundred and fifty right now, he's yeah, he's Yeah. Rick Curty used
22:29
to call him glass, and he probably has a glass of some extent.
22:32
But I'll tell you what, from what I've read about those other ballparks,
22:34
I like the study ballparks. Yeah that's okay, but but yeah, no,
22:41
this guy, he would have hit him in those old parts. We've
22:44
been talking five hundred. No, I'll come on, I can give me
22:48
your opinion on I give your opinion, but Cabrera should have six hundred.
22:52
I don't want to hear right now. Okay, I said, I don't
22:56
want to hit Okay Cabrera or I will pull you and get rid of you
23:00
right now. Okay, good job, Stanton, you did a nice job
23:07
four hundred, but your Yankees are not winning all this to say, I
23:12
got a good one two punch, don't they? With Stanton and Judge?
23:17
Absolutely, you got power pack home runs. And I give him credit though,
23:21
like you guys said, I mean, he should have a lot more
23:22
than that right now, and so should that other guy whose name I'm not
23:26
going to mention right now. Right, Yeah, he learned. He's a
23:30
quick study here. Okay, yeah, Jacob, what do you have to
23:34
say? Oh, I don't have every I never have a thing to say
23:38
ever. But no, the issue, the issue goes. That's like he's
23:44
doing even with the injuries. He's one of the he's the third quickst of
23:47
four hundred. Ever with he here's the deal with this. We talked about
23:51
the lack of twenty game winners coming, We're also going to see these these
23:56
hitters blow by someone like John Stanley, like they're gonna blow by these four
24:02
hundred home run But will they beat will they beat the all time record by
24:08
bonds or any of that kind of stuff that's not guaranteed. And I'll tell
24:11
you why. Injuries. No one plays one sixty two straight anymore. So
24:17
they'll they'll take a day off, they'll take all this stuff, and then
24:18
they might take a season off. They might have a knee problem, they
24:22
might have a people when you had so many these high end numbers back in
24:26
the day, and they weren't that athletic, they just played all the time
24:27
as an availability. Now you're getting all these you're getting the numbers that are
24:33
blowing everything by but healthy and one sixty two Gen Carlos probably six hundred and
24:38
be very honesty and say with Miggey just saying that about Mickey, Yeah,
24:45
well we'll go to one more individual before we hit the Miggey kool aid,
24:49
Okay, because I know everybody's chumps a bit to talk about Migie. No,
24:53
we're not talking about Miguel Rojas. The La Dodgers are talking about another
24:56
Migge. Although although Minigel Rojas is playing for the Dodgers here in Miami.
25:00
Don't know that score yet, but depends on wants to get that one and
25:03
post it. You can do that Jose al Tuva two thousand hits, tell
25:06
you what, this kid's unbelievable. Indeed, JB. Ellis, listen how
25:11
many of the hits were aided by knowing what was coming. That's all I'm
25:15
gonna say. No respect for him. Okay, good enough, Okay,
25:18
you'll just save your voice on the next one, all right. George ALTUVEA
25:23
yeah, I've always liked him. He's been a great ball player. And
25:26
the fact the other day he had home runs not only in the first,
25:30
not only in the second, but the third inning he came up three straight
25:34
times and hid dingers all three times. He's not exactly known for all that
25:40
power, but he is a good ball player. I've always admired him.
25:44
They were in town recently, and I know that other guy we're going to
25:48
talk about had fun, had a fun time with kidding around with Altuve when
25:52
they were on the basis together. So I know you got your feelings on
25:56
him, JB. But I still think he's a hell of a ball player.
25:59
And congratulates on those two thousand hit And by the way, Marlon's eleven
26:04
Dodgers four looks like when there's sixth straight in a roll and they're coming on
26:08
at the right time. All right, go ahead, Jacob. Well see
26:11
we know this about it now too big. He stands on a base and
26:15
then he has to get off quicker he commits suicide. It's like, ye,
26:18
I mean, he's so short. We already know this part. But
26:19
it's like, but the biggest thing with him is, yeah, we know,
26:23
how may they had him coming, how many they have coming. It's
26:29
the biggest issue is you still have to hit the ball. And it's the
26:34
eye on the ball, and it's like any of us could be told what
26:37
one is coming. It's like, this is what an athlete is. We're
26:41
still gonna be over for ten most of us unless we have that kind of
26:45
practice. He's still one ridiculously good hitter. It's just like, regardless of
26:52
regardlessly I mean, you're correct, JB. He knew there were things that
26:56
he had, and he knew, but you still have to hit in it.
27:00
And I still think back to Jeremy Giambi in the steroid era taking the
27:06
mean taking the same steroids that Mark McGwire did, and he was so bad
27:10
he didn't send him to the miners. So you still you still have to
27:15
come through there's no question. There's no question he's a phenomenal player. But
27:22
unfortunately, when we have guys like Barry Bonds, Pete Rose that are in
27:26
the Hall of Fame, who are some of the best players ever and they
27:30
don't get recognized. I'm not going to sit here and recognize a guy who
27:34
cheated for godalleios how long. So you know, well, he's still this
27:41
is the thing. You're correct on that, But this is the thing.
27:44
He's still coming through even when the dusty around and you know, dusty and
27:48
technology doesn't go together. So it's like he's still coming through. He's still
27:52
goods Like if he was like if he was hitting, if he was hitting
27:56
the Hobby bayas numbers in Detroit, then there would better point. But he's
28:00
still hitting. Yeah, but you could say the same thing with Barry Boggs.
28:04
There was two different careers. There was this Pittsburgh career his career in
28:08
San Francisco where he was a totally different shape, you know, and he
28:12
was still the best player in baseball both in both cities. So yeah,
28:18
now you don't lookin you're good, you know what, jav you being,
28:21
I have a great point. I'm so glad you brought that out. Number
28:22
one. I could care less about Jose Altuve. He'll get an Astros all
28:26
of fame. Who knows if he'll be recognized objectively by the baseball writers.
28:33
Remember that's a you got. You know. They don't let nobody in.
28:36
If you're seventy four point nine percent. You either make the seventy five or
28:41
you don't get in. Remember they don't round it up. Okay, and
28:45
this group here, if they sends any kind of cheating activity, you're not
28:48
getting in. So you might as will stick to your club because I just
28:51
don't see it. And I personally, if you're a Pittsburgh Pirates fan,
28:56
I liked the very Bonds that we saw in Pittsburgh because it was a great
29:00
all around player. He reminded me of a lot of his dad, Bobby
29:03
Bonds, who could do both run and hit for power. And that's not
29:07
when we talk about the San Francisco version. Of course, I understand Giants
29:12
fans will definitely cheer for him. You might as well, he's yours,
29:15
you know. And Belco wasn't too far down the road where you went out
29:19
there and denied every allegation on the planet. So but yeah, I have
29:25
missed emotions about L two. Be at least it's got one ring that you
29:27
can say wasn't tarnished because the last year's accomplishment one before. Well, I
29:33
still think it's an asterist, but problem man friend doesn't. So here's the
29:37
trivia. Here's some trivia, real fast. Think about an all around player
29:42
ten straight years hit home, run, stole bases, did not get caught
29:48
stealing? Who would I buy talking about run? Huh? Did not get
29:56
caught stealing? Up? Did I get caught stealing? Ten straight years?
29:59
Also hit home? M all right, we got us on that. What
30:03
is it? Greg Maddox? No, ten straight years of all of that,
30:08
and he would steal bases too, and he never got caught tenth straight
30:11
years and well, you know what, nobody's gonna come up with that one
30:15
because it was a picture. But all right, but Greg Maddox is just
30:18
an athlete. He never looked on I listen, Hey, Greg Maddox deserves
30:21
every honor heat And I just that was the one name I never thought about.
30:25
So we got Hey, JB, that's fake the reality, buddy,
30:30
he got us on that. One's quit because we got to get Yeah,
30:34
he got us Okay, Jacob got that. Of course, he remembers a
30:37
hammering he took on the first and so he had to find a way to
30:40
get it stick it to us, and he did. So smile, smile,
30:45
there you go. All right, so there you go, so mean
30:47
while look now everybody can hold your breath there. Now we do talk about
30:51
Miguel Carbrera thirty one hundred and fifty eight hits at last count. I don't
30:55
know if it's changed tonight, but we'll eve at thirty one fifty eight because
30:57
we live in the moment. Okay. The next targus, Adrian Beltre sixty
31:03
six and the guy that used to play all the games, Cal Ripken Jr.
31:07
All right, JB, let's forget Beltray. Okay, let's just talk
31:11
about when you feel Miguel Cabrera could go ahead and surpass cal Ripken Jr.
31:18
No, you don't think, so okay, So Beltray is only eight away?
31:27
That was realistic? I think, oh yeah, I would think,
31:30
so okay, fair enough, all right, George, Yeah, he would
31:36
have to really go on a tear. I don't think he's gonna catch Ripken,
31:38
but he has passed a lot of big names this year. Including guys
31:44
like George Brett and uh It's been a lot of fun. The Tigers have
31:48
been keep attractive his home runs and his hit total out in the outfield.
31:52
They change the numbers. They have a couple of employees station out there at
31:56
the home games to change the numbers. He was not in the lineup tonight.
32:01
AJ gave him a rest, so I suppose he's playing tomorrow against the
32:06
Yankees. But yeah, he's He's really had a really good second half.
32:10
I'm really happy with him. I was hoping that it would be this way
32:15
and not the other way. So as far as hitting goes, he's had
32:19
a very good second half. So that's taken a lot of pressure off of
32:22
leaving him in the lineup. But he still can't play every day obviously,
32:25
But I don't think he'll catch Ripken though, Scott. Yeah, Beltrey,
32:30
yes, broken, all right, go ahead, and Jacob. He't catch
32:32
a Ripkin. It's because he just he might have gone a little bit of
32:36
a tear. He can't play every day. And Beltrey this more toward the
32:40
end, just because he can't play. But the end of September he'll catch
32:45
him. But when you think and I say this, for right now,
32:49
and I think I'm gonna do a comparison old school UFC to that stuff.
32:53
When you'd see the fighters that you've known that were legends that start that you
33:00
see that started at like twenty years old. Then you see them at the
33:02
end when they're at forty three, and it's like they you go from you're
33:07
on top of the world. You don't want to talking about George. You're
33:12
on top of the world. You're the ultimate athlete. You have everything to
33:15
a puncher's chance. You're still the athlete. You still can swing, but
33:21
you're more beat up than ever. That's what's happening with every time we see
33:23
a Miggi up there, and it's sad because we remember the twenty year old
33:28
Miggi that hit the home run the World Series. Yeah, we remember that.
33:30
And it's like, if you want to step back in time one more
33:34
time, you want to think of Babe Brute when you hit the three home
33:37
runs then retired, you want to think that, you want to think of
33:39
those one more just one more time. The puncher's chance, but age hits
33:46
hard, Age hits hard. To hit on Muhammad Ali, we bring that
33:52
up the Mark and the Sky. It hit on Muhammad al l It hits
33:54
on our legends. It hit it hit Larry Bird, my hero, and
34:00
even I got a forty nine fourteen twelve out of him. It's find one
34:02
of his final games, one of the final good games. But again,
34:06
punchers chance. And that's the toughest part to see when you when your heroes
34:10
start to go, it becomes the puncher's chance because it has to be because
34:16
any more, years after they have no more, they don't have the punchers
34:21
anymore. Now, the only thing I'll say about it ripped in I don't
34:27
see it. Beltray, I definitely do. But you know who the biggest
34:30
winners this year were in mine. As far as I'm concerned about about the
34:35
whole carbre about the Miami Marlins, you think about it, Okay, this
34:40
is a series that was really built, and you know when the Miami Marlins
34:44
fans are the winners. They got to see a healthy Miguel Carprera celebrate that
34:47
World Series and the way the Dominos dropped, with the way the scheduling was
34:53
with the Marylin's and the Yankees. What twenty years after, you know,
34:59
when that year of that World championship, and of course you know Cabrera and
35:04
you know we're talking about a crowd at Saturday over thirty three thousand, decent
35:07
crowd for the weekend. Marlin's fansac outli pandis no matter how it plays out.
35:12
But yeah, as far as Beltra realistic, I'd love to see it
35:15
happen. Was Ripken Junior. I don't think he's got enough games. The
35:17
only way it can do that is if he could put together a few multiple
35:21
hit games. You never know, though I would say never why I think
35:24
it's a realistic Probably all right, we'll stay in motown. Detroit Lions General
35:30
manager Brad Holmes forty four years old. By the way we leaves, this
35:32
team can win the NFC North for the first time this season. The Lions
35:36
were three thirteen and one in twenty twenty one and the first year as GM.
35:40
Last year, the team started at one in six, finished nine and
35:45
eight. The last Lions Division crown was in nineteen ninety three, and then
35:49
they were in the NFC Central Division at ten and six. Okay, JB,
35:55
what do you think can the Lions go out there? Do you believe
35:59
in Brad Holmes think you're gonna pull it off in that division. That's tough.
36:01
I'm still with Minnesota, but I like the Lions. I mean,
36:07
I love what they've done. I just think one more year before they get
36:09
it done. I think the way the progression works, next year is their
36:14
year, and the Bears are coming right with them right behind. You know,
36:17
I think this year in Minnesota still has enough pieces to hold them off.
36:22
You know, I don't take much off tomorrow's game. You're starting against
36:27
the best team in football against Kansas City. I don't foresee the Lions winning.
36:30
I think it'll be a close game, but I would wouldn't put that
36:35
as everyone's stock as you're gonna hear Friday morning. If the Lions aren't going
36:38
to do anything. They lost already. They're on and one, I wouldn't
36:43
say that. I think they're gonna make the wild card this year. I
36:45
think they're a really good team, but I think they're a year off from
36:49
one of the division. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you one guy who
36:52
from what I hear and my sources are correctly, I think they're trying to
36:54
go out there and negotiate a contract extension for Jared Doff. So at that
36:59
said, I'll over to George Eichorn. Is that true? And what are
37:01
your thoughts about me? Are you drinking the homeschool cooler that they Well,
37:07
I tell you what, I agree with one of the local guys here that
37:10
covers the team day and end day out, and he says they are a
37:13
year ahead of schedule, and I would agree with that. So I know
37:17
what you're saying, JB. But no, they might not be looking up
37:22
at Minnesota this year in the division race. I'm picking the Lions to win
37:27
that division. Holmes has done a really good job, no question about it.
37:31
The big question is, like you said, Scott, you know,
37:34
are they going to negotiate a new contract with golf now? Are they going
37:37
to wait a little bit longer they want to give him all that money?
37:39
I mean, you know, all these quarterbacks are running to the bank.
37:43
They're running to the bank Wells Fired or whatever bank they want to run to,
37:46
and they're getting these huge contracts. So Detroit's got a big decision to
37:50
make. You know. I think this year is going to be obviously the
37:52
key because he had a great year last year, social year before that,
37:58
So this is going to be the key this year. How does he perform?
38:00
It depends on how he performs. But no, I don't think they
38:04
can wait past you know, past the end of this coming season at least
38:08
to get a new deal ironed out with him. I would imagine they'll probably
38:12
try to work something out rather quickly like they did with Raymond that one ride
38:17
receiver and return man Kali Rayman. But the but the answer your question,
38:22
yeah, Holmes has done a terrific job. Of course, Campbell's been the
38:25
right job, right man for the job as head coach as well. Okay,
38:31
take him. I think Detroit hasn't a chance. I think they can
38:34
win it. And the thing is part of the reason I say this is
38:38
because I don't like Luke Getzi as an o see at all, especially with
38:44
the guy that you've already got a guy like Justin Fields, who is very
38:50
dynamic, very athletic, who also if he will not throw the ball if
38:53
he's no one's five yet open, five yards open, excuse me, if
38:58
they're not five yards of it, he will not. He there isn't a
39:00
tight lif there isn't a tight window. He does not avoid it. I
39:04
mean, And that is the thing it's like. And in the NFL there
39:07
was a thing that Bruce arians told Peyton Manning this is open that he won't
39:12
and it's like wonderful arm pretty accurate on that end, but he is afraid
39:15
to do he has he has the least of all rookies. I think he
39:19
has like the least amount of passes between two years of any of them,
39:23
you know, And it's like he just because he is the first thing,
39:27
he doesn't take off. So I think that's the tough part. But Detroit,
39:30
I was saying three to four wins first years, seven to eight,
39:35
second and division the third, and the thing was I didn't see the nine,
39:40
so they're ahead, they are ahead. Yeah, I guess the thing
39:50
about Detroit is Detroit and Chicago I believe are going to be the new They're
39:54
going to be the new back and forth. This is the new world.
39:57
I think they are. And the Chicago's in an interesting situation. And the
40:00
fact that I was thinking, if if Fields fails, you go after our
40:05
Drake may or something. They may not have to if you get yourself in
40:07
New Oc and there's no Fields anymore. Tyson Baigent he is on a very
40:14
low rookie contract, and he looked phenomenal and you can develop they may not
40:20
have to do that, so they have for their years, so I'm not
40:22
sure what they'll do. But as far as Detroit right now, I think
40:25
Detroit and Chicago are coming. I think Minnesota and they'll last chance, and
40:30
I think I think Jordan loves garbage, and I think Green Bay's last.
40:35
Okay, Well, all I'll say about this is so when I heard the
40:37
Lions they're looking at ten and seven, I do believe that ten and seven
40:40
could be the record to win that division. And I have no reason to
40:45
develop brand homes so far, and I'm not going to do it now.
40:47
So if he feels like they could win it, it would be great to
40:52
see it. But ten and seven is what it's going to take that division.
40:54
Two more topics I want to address. Okay, and that's sad for
40:59
the night. I don't know we're gonna do party shots unless you guys really
41:01
want to. But college, So tell me, JB. Give me the
41:06
college football game that you're looking forward to this weekend, this weekend right now.
41:13
Probably it's tough at the beginning of the season. There's so many bad
41:20
games where teams just pay other these weeker schools to come in right now,
41:27
Alabama Texas is going to be the best game of the weekend looking at the
41:30
schedule, fair enough, George, Well, obviously Michigan I'm looking forward to
41:40
because I don't have becock and I couldn't watch Michigan last Saturday, so I'm
41:45
looking forward to seeing a game on the television against UNLV. I know it's
41:50
going to be a blowout. So if I'm just a practical standpoint, like
41:53
I said, I missed Michigan's game last Saturday, which wasn't much of anything
41:58
really, and they beat East Carolina. But that's going to be my game
42:01
to watch. And then if I could do one more, Scott, I'm
42:05
gonna say Notre Dame at NC State. You know, every time Notre Dame
42:09
goes on the road, it seems like they have a challenge ahead of themselves.
42:14
But being ranked tenth, now, I know NC State is not that
42:16
great a team, but it's always going to be a challenge for the fighting
42:20
Irish when they go on the road. They just seem to have a tougher
42:23
time of it. But that would be my second choice. Thanks, all
42:27
right, Well, then you know, if I got to do that too,
42:29
I gotta go back to JBL is to give you my second choice.
42:30
All right, go ahead, I got you fired everybody not to view well,
42:34
the second choice is always going to be We'll see what Dion does with
42:37
this team. He's just he's electric. He's what college football loves. It's
42:42
more publicity. There's so many games last Saturday, literally from noon until about
42:50
two of the morning, they were games. And you know, because there
42:52
was no NFL, there were games Friday from six o'clock at night to about
42:57
two of the morning. The last game was y Verse Stanford, and there
43:01
was a Sunday there was a Sunday night game JB and a Monday and night
43:05
game two you know, so it was phenomenal. You know now that we're
43:08
just getting into pretty much Saturdays for the major games, and then you'll have
43:14
a couple of weekday games with some of the other conferences. Dion's huge because
43:17
he's gonna bring more eyes to college football. So it gotta look forward to
43:22
see what what Colorado does this week. That would be much stuck in choice.
43:28
Okay, we'll turn over to you and Jacob. I think I think
43:30
the scheduling things with Scottloys football is the number one reason for divorces. Number
43:37
two is money but still it's But the biggest thing is my number one is
43:44
obviously Colorado Nebaska. You know that game obviously, But number two is just
43:50
because of my old school thing of the Midwest and the old school defense Iowa
43:57
and Iowa State. It's because I'll tell you why, And it's not because
44:00
Iowa's going to be this national champion or anything. They had that chance about
44:05
two three years ago when they were so good. Then they go. Then
44:07
they have a game at home on an ESPN at nine GA absolutely show act,
44:13
you know, and it's like when they had a chance and they were
44:15
eight, no, and then they end up like ten and four, ten
44:16
and two or something. But I'm like, that's what I that's what's going
44:20
to happen with in Iowa. But I love seeing old school defense. Iowa
44:24
has Alabama level defense and Alabama level defense and the resk of level offense even
44:32
worse. And it's and it's like, so we know it's the last of
44:37
everything. The farenses will be gone and we won't see the Iowa that we
44:42
saw anymore because everybody's changing up their stadiums, won't see it. It's kind
44:45
of the last of a breed, so I kind of want to see it
44:49
while it's still here. Well, that's fair enough for me. It's a
44:52
no brainer in Miami against cases A and L. Yeah, and by Candy,
44:59
and I will see it that game. I mean, first time attend
45:01
SEC opponents visited these parts, and I have a feeling that the Hurricanes are
45:07
gonna win this game. I'm looking at my second game options. How about
45:09
one that you're going to see a lot more of in the coming years.
45:13
How about the Wisconsin Badgers, although actually they're playing at Washington State. If
45:16
they were playing Washington be better, So I'll backtrack on that, so I'll
45:21
go to another one instead, although it would be pretty interesting that they are
45:23
playing in Washington School. How about Grambling against LSU. Oh yeah, yeah,
45:31
of course. I expect that Brian Kelly, if he decides to make
45:36
a guarantee on this game, he won't be eating Crow this time. But
45:40
you know, I've always been a firm believer that if a HBCU can make
45:45
a lot of money, let alone in their home state, and LSU is
45:47
a good guarantee game. So my second will be Grambling against LSU, which
45:52
is right fourteen but I'm going with Miami and Texas. Am I expect her
45:55
my Canes would come out victorious in this. That's but that was the point
46:00
I made. I just wanted to say this the unpundit. All of these
46:02
games were made during the dion era. I hope we keep seeing them.
46:07
That's my point. This we saw these, No, you're gonna see these
46:14
guaranteed gamest me HBCUs with this type of level. I didn't see these a
46:19
lot. All right, let me finish my point. I do believe that,
46:22
you know, I would you. I was on that show with you
46:24
too. Remember, Okay, nobody's running away from these HBCUs. Are you
46:29
kidding? Why would they? I mean, it's just it's just the knowledge,
46:32
that's all. It's just the knowledge of it. I like Grambling against
46:36
Ells. You this is a big game for the state of Louisiana. Yeah,
46:40
HBCU didn't any Robinson. I believe coach over at Grambling State, right,
46:46
that was mixty one years I believe, big deal. So what he's
46:51
still dad? I mean, Doug Williams is there too. This is a
46:53
good Louisiana match up. I don't know how or is it a mis match?
47:00
But somebody's gonna be making a little bit of a coin over this thing,
47:01
so it doesn't matter. But I'm going again Texas A and m Miami.
47:06
Miami wins, and and of course I'm just glad to see Grambling take
47:12
play LSU. All right, but it's good, be interesting to see where
47:15
everybody has is around the country. Let's go ahead and let's go to the
47:17
chat room with Anthony Beankey. All right, George Anthony, thank you,
47:23
sir. If Kelly brings the Louisiana accent, it's a lock. Ye there
47:29
you go, won a few locks? All right? Well, hey,
47:35
you know what he brings, his accent. He's got a lot of work
47:37
to do with it. But they don't care about his accent. The only
47:39
and LSU fair in mind, the last three coaches that they've employed on a
47:44
national championship. Bryan Kelly doesn't want to be the one that breaks that incredible
47:47
streaks. So it was at Nick Saban at oor Zern and I'm trying to
47:52
remember the other one. It's Kelly's never gonna have Dron's popularity. I'll tell
47:57
you that right now. No, no, that's true, I mean,
48:00
yeah, yeah, I mean but nevertheless, one more topic I want to
48:05
get to and then these guys will determine the parting shots. But this is
48:07
one that I think we should definitely end with. Last week we talked about
48:12
Nebraska Woman's volleyball a new new world record for the largest crowd at a woman's
48:17
forty event. That number came in at ninety two thousand and three. We
48:21
were enthusiastic when we've talked about it. Now we have a final number JV
48:27
that's just amazing and it's phenomenal, you know. It's it's great to see
48:30
events like that that the more it happens, the more it will be done,
48:37
and it just builts on top of it, you know. And I
48:39
give a lot of credit to Nebraska forgetting that that done, and you know,
48:45
I don't think they ever expected it to be as well received as it
48:49
was. And by the way, now that my rent came back to me,
48:53
the coaches at one at LS who were Nick saving Less Miles and at
48:58
Oorzron just want to make sure we brought that out. So that's what Telly's
49:00
up against, all right, Yeah, no, all right, So there's
49:02
no question that it was good to see that number coming at ninety two thousand
49:07
and this is just an update. That's something that if you watched last week's
49:09
edition of the Sports Exchange, now you have an update, all right,
49:12
George. Yeah, it was a phenomenal event, There's no question about it.
49:15
I'm glad we talked about it last week. Just did a great job
49:20
there at the University of Nebraska. It's it's a real feather in the cap
49:24
of the women's sports movement as well, and just a terrific response. All
49:31
that excitement was generated for a volleyball game. It was incredible. So I'm
49:36
happy for the university and happy for all the fans who were part of that
49:40
record gainess Book of World Records. Yeah, memorial shame Nebraska. That's a
49:45
bucket list of bucket list item. I would love to see a game in
49:49
Nebraska with the Cornhuskers. And many years ago I saw the Wolverines and a
49:52
Nebraska Cornhuskers play at the Alimal Bowl years ago with the Alimal town. It
49:57
was pretty interesting. They were not in the Big tenet at that time.
49:59
But well, Elsie, what's happened that when you bring a school from the
50:02
Big twelve or anywhere to the Big ten they get humbled really quick? And
50:07
as easy as it looks, all right, go ahead, Jacomes. This
50:12
is what I'm the point that I've made through I've been on the sideline sports
50:16
three years. This is the point I've made. JB's heard me say this.
50:20
It's like, we want to make women's equal, as far as pay,
50:23
as far as a notoriety, note everything. Do this stuff, all
50:30
right, prove it they did. There's not gonna get anywhere with Megan Rapino
50:38
mouthing off, sniping off and doing all that stuff. It's gonna make people
50:43
mad doing something like this. You want to know something. People now know
50:45
that they can make a huge crowd, and some of these soccer games they
50:50
can make a huge crowd. This is where the money is gonna be.
50:52
They're gonna be given chances. Now, proof is in the pudding. Keep
50:59
the mouth shut, Just show that you did it, and they did,
51:04
they did, and now there's gonna be chances. That's all that needed to
51:08
be. You don't have to act like a B B B BEP two.
51:17
No. Yeah, well if we say that, we'll get kicked off a
51:20
strim. But no, buddy, but no, you don't have to act
51:23
like all of that to get there. And I mean, and I don't
51:28
care what people will say. Oh you have to van say and I don't
51:30
care. Shut up. This is the point you want to get somewhere.
51:34
Proof is in the pudding. Ninety two thousand and three is in the pudding.
51:38
And now they're gonna there's going to be sponsors, there's gonna be everything.
51:43
It makes money, it's going to so and all of these soccer games,
51:50
the volleyball game shows up. More money's coming, more sponsorships are coming,
51:53
and it's like, that's this is where it comes from, not going
51:57
to the media all time and winding well here, you know what, I
52:00
don't know if Anthony was watching the punt is punt of a boy in volleyball
52:06
game, right Anthony, Let's hope sun Arabia doesn't open the check Maybe he
52:10
was watching earlier, but boy, that's a great Then was saud Arabia is
52:14
not going to open the checkbook for women? They still won't. Oh no,
52:17
I don't know. You know what, I will say this, and
52:22
I'm glad that we're parting on this two weeks Centerolause got ninety two thousand in
52:28
it. But the one thing that you guys have to understand is this.
52:30
Okay, Now we've seen Nebraska woman's volleyball hit ninety two thousand. But do
52:37
you think that as time goes on that these football seams are gonna be more
52:42
than just football seams? Right? What about these soccer games over in England
52:46
that come over here? I think what Manchester United hit tann Harbor? Right?
52:51
Yeah? What about these ice hockey games that are drawing some massive crowds
52:55
you can get You don't need to play football. You can bring in these
52:59
other things that are money makers. So you schedule one or two outgames or
53:02
games a year at a university, especially the Big House or wherever, you're
53:07
gonna get some huge crowds. We talk about guarantee games. To me,
53:12
when it comes to smaller programs trying to build their athletic department around them,
53:16
there might be another source of revenue out there that we haven't even seen,
53:21
the tip of the iceberg, using those football stadiums for events like whether it's
53:24
women's men's hockey or whatever. So if I are you guys and everybody else
53:30
out there that's watching on the South Forks Tribute Broadcasting Network and it's affiliates,
53:36
Okay, think about what I just said tonight, and that's this. There
53:39
could be a lot more interesting creative events that will be massive money makers.
53:45
Is women's volleyball and men's hockey. Stay tuned. This is something we're not
53:47
done talking about. All right. I'll leave it open to you guys.
53:52
Okay, and that's this. Any parting shots, although before you answer my
53:57
question, okay, we'll go back to the chat room, Scott and Elda.
54:00
Where else can you pull one hundred and kay and ten? That's true
54:02
where CanYa And even with a smaller stadium, Let's say say you have a
54:07
fifteen thousand seat football say you probably get sixteen seventy thousand all day long.
54:12
Because remember for these other sports, I think can put you know, stands
54:17
or temporary bleacher somewhere else, you get it up to sixteen seventy. That's
54:21
a lot of money, a lot of coin. So thanks for bringing that
54:23
up, Anthony, much appreciate. Anybody want to go ahead and have party
54:25
shots to do it really well on a time, Yeah, I got one.
54:30
Go ahead tomorrow the NFL season starts. Some people like to play spets
54:35
legally illegally, however you do it. I don't care. A lot of
54:38
us play fantasy football come Monday morning. If a guy gets hurt, fumbles,
54:46
throws it interception. Don't say something stupid on social media. Don't threaten
54:53
somebody's family. They're people. If you lose, you lose. Who cares.
54:59
It's a game. Don't go after athletes personally. You're the one that
55:04
made the choice to play that team, to draft that person. Get over
55:08
yourself and stop believing athletes where they don't perform. You want to boo,
55:13
yeah, that's why everybody has the right to do that. Don't attack athletes
55:16
personally if they don't perform because they're on your team or because you put a
55:21
bet in. Just said, you're just an idiot. And if you're an
55:23
idiot, don't watch sports. We don't watch you. That's a great one.
55:29
I like that and JV good stuff. Fantasy I don't play it myself,
55:31
I mean. And the reason why I don't play it, I'm so
55:34
used to reality football. It's called sit in press box, go to locker
55:37
room and go to press conference, and then I go out there and get
55:40
my grill in front of somebody. You never will that happened. So glad,
55:44
let's see if if you want to criticize the GM. You gotta play
55:46
fantasy football, so you could say, you know, I try to build
55:49
this team, and you know I'm the best at it, and then you
55:51
can see you're really just average. And how hard of a job it is
55:54
because they have so much more to do with salary caps than everything else.
55:59
But you know how hard. But you know how hard it is for me
56:02
to want to do that because in my opinion, I don't care. I
56:07
only report objectively, and down the road, I am looking forward to the
56:14
debut whenever that maybe maybe before social Security, maybe twenty four that we have
56:19
the what do we have this celebrity and the journalists. Okay, we haven't
56:23
forgot about that. Down the road, so big things twenty think four.
56:28
Okay, but you know now, I'll leave you fantasy football. I don't
56:31
need to criticize. All I like to do is ask coaches questions. And
56:35
I had an eventful weekend last weekend with Mariol Crystabal who when I ask him
56:38
a post game question about a player committing a fifteen yard penalty, he was
56:43
it wasn't mad at me. I'm not. I'll never forget this. I
56:45
got to tell you guys out there on driving our YouTube channel and I'll turn
56:49
over to you guys after that. These are great stories. Tell okay,
56:52
number one, okay with Mario Crystabal. This guy's I love working with this
56:55
guy. He is, you know, he don't worry about clicks. Okay,
56:59
Mario cristalls not the kind of guy who worried about clicks. If you
57:00
look at for a click, don't interview him. But he tells you straight.
57:04
But I'll never forget. I'm asking about a player that committed a fifteen
57:07
yard personal foul penalty that took her from the ford to the nineteen yard line.
57:10
I asked him, you know, I know you coach hard, okay,
57:14
but you don't like this kind of penalty. No, and he went
57:16
off like he really blew it here. But then he says to me,
57:20
I'm not mad at you. I'm not mad at you. Okay. I
57:22
mean, you know, because at this point he's coaching. Okay, Oh
57:24
god, Dad, it's okay. I'm glad he went out there, and
57:28
you know, and then as he went up to I'm not mad at you,
57:30
you know, you know, and Christ was the last act. So
57:34
what do you think happens? Twenty four hours later, I'm over to the
57:37
FAU press conference, right, and you know who the coach is, Tom
57:40
Herman? Okay? And I like Tommy after all. I made a good
57:44
first impression at his first press conference when I saw him and told him that
57:47
he's coaching in a basketball school, kidding with him that they went to the
57:51
Final fourder I didn't know where were basketball at school, and he but he
57:54
got a great sense of humor. Come on, these coaches do so what
57:59
do you think happens? I did answer him two questions here? What happens
58:01
with the first one? He knows this is my hat at least I know
58:04
one about Tom Herman. You can read Motor City man, Oh you're from
58:07
that are? Oh? Yeah? Okay? Cool? I mean you know,
58:09
now we're having a little bit of fun here. Everybody is, and
58:12
the press conference room was laughing right okay with me. So I asked him
58:15
a couple of questions. That was the most enjoyable seven eight, nine,
58:19
ten minutes we had because he got two coaches that are far that are actually
58:22
great coaches in southern Florida that have an opportunity to take Miami okay and Florida
58:30
Atlantic, two teams that by the way didn't make it to the Final four
58:34
and take them to another level in college football. And yet they're so different,
58:37
but they're excellent coaches. So I wanted to have an opportunity on this
58:40
platform to mention those stories that Crystall's just great. I mean, you know
58:45
what, and you know, there's a lot of mutual respect that we've had
58:47
up to this point in Herman and I'm just glad they're in my back yard.
58:51
So that's what I had to sat up with the party shot, But
58:52
that's what I have to say. But yeah, fantasy, that was a
58:54
good one, all right, George, go ahead, Well, no,
58:58
you're talking about outdoor games in the NHL. They nailed it, you know
59:01
when they did the January first game. The Stadium series, it's it's it's
59:07
it's a moneymaker for Gary Bettman and company. They're playing in Seattle for the
59:12
first time. The Vegas Golden Knights, defending Stanley Cup champions will be at
59:15
Seattle on New Year's Day on TNT. So, yeah, these kind of
59:20
big events really put the NHL on the map. In fact, the Stadium
59:23
Series this year is going to be back to back games at the Meadowlands.
59:29
I understand involving the Rangers and the Islanders and a couple other teams. Uh,
59:37
I just love it. I love it. I love hockey outside.
59:40
There's something about it being in a big stadium like that. I'm glad you
59:44
brought that up, Scott about those big crowds Detroit of course, and Ann
59:46
Arbor hosted the all time greatest which is over one hundred thousand at uf M
59:51
Stadium when the Toronto April Leagues beat the Red Wings several years ago. So
59:54
yeah, the the outdoor ice, the out it just makes for a great
59:59
event and time had by all. So that's my parting shot. Well,
1:00:02
you go ahead and take the Nebraska And was volleyball for setting me off on
1:00:06
this point? Yeah? Yeah, fans, I want you to understand something
1:00:14
here. You need to learn basic math as in two plus two and I'll
1:00:22
explain. I get people that the people all of a sudden are going after
1:00:28
James Harden. They're going after James Harden now and they're calling him. You
1:00:31
know, he's nasty, he's he's lazy, he's all this. I was
1:00:37
doing this decade ago, the last three years and sideline and then before that,
1:00:43
I was doing it when he was in the sixty point games like nothing.
1:00:47
It's like the biggest thing about it. I did this with Justin Fields.
1:00:52
He's on this thing, but I did this with Justin Fields. When
1:00:53
you're all one in the place to blame, I do this with quite a
1:00:57
few things. I'm gonna be right about Jordan Love, I'm gonna be right
1:01:00
about Anthony Richardson. Here's the thing, though, you all can do this
1:01:05
too. It's not a huge skill. The only skill that you need is
1:01:09
looking beyond the weeds for one second. Look beyond the weeds. Put two
1:01:17
and two together and understand what can happen. It's like, yeah, you're
1:01:22
gonna be mad when I'm gonna say something and I become right. That gonna
1:01:28
become right later, and then you're gonna forget I said it and you go,
1:01:30
oh, you never said that. The only you do it all the
1:01:32
time. They can fan do it all the time, but you all could
1:01:36
do it too. It's like, if you all did it more often,
1:01:40
maybe these front offices would make smarter moves instead of trying to appease you.
1:01:50
Period. There wouldn't be the Bears wouldn't have to play well any one minute
1:01:54
of justin fields of this rookie year or Mitchell Tubisky. But you, I'll
1:02:00
throw you fit and you want it all now. And this continues to happen
1:02:06
with the Bears and you. And here's the thing, the last good,
1:02:09
the last good decision made true that made a super Bowl was George Alice,
1:02:15
not Virginia. Not Virginia. And that's the thing. She got loving and
1:02:21
they made a super Bowl. But they have never made consistence in George's last
1:02:24
decision. But Dicka wasn't going to listen to you. How is what gonna
1:02:30
listen to you? I hope Poles doesn't. It's time to understand. If
1:02:37
you fans truly want to think you know what you're talking about, forget fantasy.
1:02:44
Go find a small minor league team, the lowest of the low,
1:02:47
and run one. I guarantee if you did that enough to see how bad
1:02:52
it is, you'll see how tough it is. Then you'll shut up great
1:02:57
partying shouts all the way around. So I'll go over our information an intern
1:03:00

working right now. I'm making sure that Sideline Sports website is up. What
1:06:47
she's doing right now is she's carefully constructing it to make sure that we're able
1:06:51
to provide the necessary needed distribution partners that coincides with the theme of what we're
1:06:57
doing. And we're assembling a group of writers that will be able to contribute
1:07:00
on not one, but two platforms as well. So those are things that
1:07:03
we're working on as well, in addition to what we're doing. So but
