- 0:00It is the worldwide sports radio network.
- 0:04The Nbas All Star weekend came and went with a lot of flair and
- 0:09a semblance of some competitive basketball before it was all
- 0:12said and done. Thankfully, team stars won the
- 0:15round Robin tournament and Anthony Edwards was named All
- 0:17Star game MVP. Jaylen Brunson, Cat and Nick's
- 0:21legend Alan Houston took down the shooting stars on Saturday
- 0:24and Dame Lillard without with a torn Achilles won the
- 0:27three-point contest and otherwise lack of star power
- 0:30event with many star players opting for supporting roles if
- 0:34they accepted any role at all. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was
- 0:38candid with reporters during All Star Break and fully intends to
- 0:42address the pervasive tanking epidemic in the NBA and all
- 0:46options are on the table. Can Silver fix a problem that he
- 0:49has come to realize that fines will not fix?
- 0:52Or will more change lead to more headaches?
- 0:56And before we find out who is in Like Flynn and crack a six pack
- 1:00with Speedy and hear what's happening in Milan at the Winter
- 1:03Olympics, we will dive into Friend of the show Gary
- 1:06Phillips. Article about the overcrowded
- 1:08outfield in the Bronx and how The Martian and Spencer Jones
- 1:13may not be long for the big city, whether by demotion or by
- 1:17trade. On another fully loaded, chop
- 1:20filled, brand spanking new live Monday night edition of Jabba.

- 1:31significant They're going to have a ton of money to spend.

- 4:31www.worldwidesportsradio.com. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been
- 4:38a crazy, crazy weekend for the one they call the mouth.
- 4:42I, I'm not going to talk like a, a third person speak or look
- 4:46like a complete moron because Kyla Murray does that enough for
- 4:49himself. I can't speak in a third person,
- 4:52but if I must, I will today. And I enjoyed the weekend.
- 4:57We saw a little snow last night and I there was nothing on our
- 5:01forecast. And that's why, ladies and
- 5:03gentlemen, weather men and women should not be weather men or
- 5:06women. There should be AI women and men
- 5:10controlling the thought of what our weather is going to be every
- 5:13single week, every single day, every single hour, every single
- 5:18second. You know why?
- 5:19Because they're never right. They're always wrong.
- 5:22So over the weekend, we had some interesting weather.
- 5:25It went from at one point it was like 49°, almost 50, and then it
- 5:29dipped down at night to almost 20°.
- 5:32I can't understand this weather over here.
- 5:35I can't. I don't get it.
- 5:37But New York weather is a unique place and a unique forecast and,
- 5:43and be, by the way, being that we live on the island, it's
- 5:47completely different as far as the weather is concerned.
- 5:50In Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Connecticut, New
- 5:56Jersey, upstate New York, it's probably 10 feet of snow.
- 6:00I mean, I don't get it. But there's nothing.
- 6:04There is nothing like New York. Nothing.
- 6:06I don't care what anybody says. And I've been all over the
- 6:09world. Anybody that knows me and
- 6:11listens to the show, I'm a DJ. I've traveled all over the
- 6:15world. I've been to Poland, I've been
- 6:17to Germany, I've been to New Zealand, Iceland, you name it,
- 6:20Amsterdam, Amsterdam, I've been all over the place.
- 6:23There are some countries I've never been to.
- 6:25Australia is one place I definitely want to get a chance
- 6:27to visit but never got a chance to yet.
- 6:30But me and my girl have spoke about that.
- 6:33That's one place that we're definitely going to have an
- 6:35opportunity. By the way, they have a place in
- 6:37Australia, Australia called like the Blue Lagoon.
- 6:41And that's where great white sharks breed every winter.
- 6:45So don't go into the Blue Lagoon if you want to survive because
- 6:50these, there's like hundreds of sharks that go over there and
- 6:53they breed in this particular place.
- 6:55So I, I, that's not a place that I would be going in and hanging
- 6:58out. But yeah, it's been a crazy,
- 7:01crazy weekend. I don't like when it's snowing
- 7:04or it's bad weather out because even if it's flurrying, people
- 7:08are rushing to the, the, the, they're rushing to all these
- 7:12different stores like Walmart. And if you live in, in certain
- 7:16parts in the West Coast, they still have Kmart.
- 7:19And then all the food markets, shop rites, stop and shop all of
- 7:22them. They're all packed.
- 7:24And we, we have what's the place called?
- 7:26Weymans. Now it's called Weymans, right?
- 7:29Wegmans, Wegmans, Wegmans, which is, I think it's, I think it was
- 7:33built in the South. I, I, I don't know where, where
- 7:36it started, but we have a Wegmans here now and they want
- 7:39to put one in Nassau. But right by me they opened up a
- 7:42Wegmans and I still never been there because every day it's
- 7:46like it's, I don't even know it's like 6 flags over there.
- 7:50You can't even find a spot to park to go and check out the
- 7:53store. So me and my girlfriend who
- 7:56likes to go to different stores and check out the place.
- 7:58We have never been to Wegmans and it's been open for over a
- 8:01year now. So hopefully one of these days
- 8:04we'll get a chance to go and check out the, the nice, nice
- 8:07sitting arrangements where you can have lunch and breakfast
- 8:10there and have all their different desserts.
- 8:12And those are the places that you you like to check out when
- 8:16you've never been. I I see fish they.
- 8:18Got those by me and when I was in college, I saw a lot of them
- 8:2220 years ago because they started up in like Syracuse,
- 8:25Rochester, Buffalo area. They were like ranked like #1
- 8:29for like employee satisfaction really for years.
- 8:33Like they just treat their employees really well there.
- 8:35And it's a little expensive, but like they do it all there
- 8:38themselves. So it's kind of like more like
- 8:40an authentic feel. I've always had good stuff from
- 8:44them. It's just it's going to, you're
- 8:46going to pay for it. That's what I, I've heard
- 8:48everything there. If you want to buy like a milk,
- 8:512% milk, it's like over there in Walmart you can buy for like
- 8:54$2.25. Over there at Wegmans you're
- 8:57going to spend like 325 or 345. What what's the difference
- 9:01between milk? I mean, why?
- 9:03Because it has the. Wegmans themselves or something
- 9:05like that. We got to ask Speedy because
- 9:07he's the milker excuse. Me milk and cows is the Nebraska
- 9:09thing. Well, no.
- 9:10That's the corn. He's the Cornhusker, Nebraska.
- 9:13Ask us more about the cornfields and hanging out over there and
- 9:16eating as many pieces of corn as you possibly can.
- 9:19You want to boil them, You want to roast them.
- 9:20I mean, has anybody tried roasted corn before?
- 9:24Because a lot of people have it. Because I have a friend and I,
- 9:28we were at a BBQ I think a week ago, it was a week and a half
- 9:31ago and we went to this BBQ we were invited to and they were
- 9:35roasting corn and they, he told me he's never had roasted corn
- 9:39before. I said you never had.
- 9:40No, I usually have him in like a can or I'll eat it off, you
- 9:45know, corn on the cob. But if we boil it.
- 9:47So I think you've never roasted a corn before.
- 9:49And he said no, this is the first time I've ever had it.
- 9:51So I guess he's hiding behind a rock or something because who
- 9:54has never had roasted corn? If you go to Dallas or you go to
- 9:58one of these cities that you know are big into BBQ, the first
- 10:02thing you're going to ask for is some roasted corn.
- 10:04That's me. I mean, it has to be extra
- 10:07butter on it because I, I, I can't eat corn without butter.
- 10:11I know it's it's so do you? Do you like it when you see the
- 10:14char on the outside or do you not want it when you see that?
- 10:17It depends. It depends on who's cooking it
- 10:19and and it depends what I'm eating it with, you know.
- 10:22So if it's just plain old roasted corn, I, I don't want
- 10:27any char on on it. But if it's I'm, I'm eating a
- 10:30steak or I'm eating a hamburger with it, yeah, why not?
- 10:33I'm not going to taste the difference.
- 10:35So, and I to me, what I don't understand with people, when
- 10:38they're eating corn, you're eating it on a cob.
- 10:41That's why you're, you're when they're making you're eating on
- 10:43a cob. Why do they seem to just like, I
- 10:46guess they use a knife and they not, they use it to, to take all
- 10:49the corn off the cob. I mean, what is the point?
- 10:52They eat it out of a pot or eat it out of a can, you know, if
- 10:55that's the way you're going to go, because the, the whole point
- 10:58of it is, is eating it off the cob.
- 11:01And, and I know, and one of the worst things I hate about corn
- 11:04is it getting stuck in your teeth.
- 11:07It happens all the time. So I, that's the only thing I
- 11:11hate about corn. And then I'm trying to floss and
- 11:14trying to get between my teeth and certain spots in your teeth,
- 11:17you can't reach it. It's the worst feeling in the
- 11:19world when you're trying to get that one piece of corn out of
- 11:22your teeth. So especially I, so I remember
- 11:26it was like it was a couple of years ago and I, me and Speedy
- 11:30were doing a show and my mom had my brother drop off corn and I'm
- 11:36just like such a corn eater. So I had 2-2 pieces of corn on
- 11:40the cob and I was eating it on the show when when Speedy was
- 11:43speaking or we would go to like a quick break.
- 11:47And one time I remember because it bothered the hell at me.
- 11:50I had this like piece got grinded up into one of my like
- 11:55teeth and I was trying to RIP it out during the show and it was
- 11:59so annoying that it started to it started to inflamed on one
- 12:02side of my mouth because it was sharp and my whole gum on the
- 12:07left side of my mouth got inflamed and I had to go to the
- 12:10dentist the next day because it got infected.
- 12:12So that was that was like 3 years ago.
- 12:14I'll never forget it. Could you imagine doing a show
- 12:17where, by the way, if anybody watches my mouth move on my left
- 12:21side on the left side of my mouth, it doesn't open as much
- 12:24as my on my right side is because my jaw when I was a kid
- 12:27locked when I was in. I was in a hockey fight and I
- 12:31got punched in the jaw in the hockey fight and my jaw locked
- 12:34up and it had to be popped it back into place.
- 12:38And when it did I I've since then, I've always had problems
- 12:42with my jaw and speak it. If you watch me speak the left
- 12:45side. Well, it's actually it's my
- 12:47right side on the right side on on my mouth.
- 12:50It, it doesn't open up as as as as high or whatever as long as
- 12:56my left side. So it's if and anybody knows me
- 12:59and knows how I speak, they can tell.
- 13:01So just find facts on why I when you see me speak you, you can
- 13:07tell one side of my mouth opens longer.
- 13:08Than that hey was your voice. Did it sound a little different
- 13:11before that happened? I don't know.
- 13:13They say sometimes when like you have like a jaw thing, like the
- 13:18way you sound things that comes out differently afterwards
- 13:20because obviously a very distinct voice, man, like
- 13:22everybody knows that listens to the show.
- 13:25And I, I just sometimes it's like, Oh yeah, there's a reason
- 13:29for that, you know? I don't know.
- 13:32I I've always had a unique voice and I always was told by many
- 13:36different friends of mine, especially when they see me on a
- 13:39mic when I'm emceeing at a party, they're like, wow, you
- 13:42could tell your voice a mile away.
- 13:43Even I was at I, I said that I was, I was at the mall about a
- 13:47week or two weeks ago and I haven't seen my Barber.
- 13:50This is a Barber I used to go to when I was a kid.
- 13:52Haven't seen him in years. And I walked into the store as
- 13:55soon as I was speaking to my girlfriend, he turned around.
- 13:56He's like, I knew that voice from a mile away.
- 13:59He says, I knew that as soon as you walked in, I knew where that
- 14:02voice was coming from. You have such a distinct voice,
- 14:05he said. And you have, and I've been told
- 14:07by I and Eagle and many different people in the industry
- 14:09like you can't teach voices and, and, and, and you have a very
- 14:13distinguished voice and, and distinct and, and that's what's
- 14:18so, you know, that's what makes you a little bit more different
- 14:21than everybody else. So I appreciate all the guys
- 14:24that and girls that have given me compliments over the years on
- 14:27on my voice. And, and it's not, that's what
- 14:29I'm worried about. My girlfriend for years is like,
- 14:31I don't think I have, I have a very nice nose, but it's not one
- 14:35of those beautiful, like what a butt nose is.
- 14:38And my girlfriend always told me he's like, you know, if you went
- 14:40and got a nose job, you it would make you even look more sexier.
- 14:43And I was like, you know, I was thinking about it and then I
- 14:45went to speak to a doctor and he was like, well, you know, if you
- 14:48get your nose fixed a little bit, you get it broken or re,
- 14:52you know, re broke, whatever it, it could change your voice a
- 14:55little bit. So I, I get a little worried
- 14:57that I, I might, and I have a problem with my voice if I ever
- 15:00did something like that. So it's something it's, it's, I
- 15:03guess you could say it's a food for thought, but I don't know if
- 15:06I'm going to eat any corn anymore while I'm doing the
- 15:09show. ANYWAYS, at 8:00 we'll be
- 15:11talking to Las Vegas running back, another running back from
- 15:15Long Island and Las Vegas as they're packed with them.
- 15:20Dylan Lauby will be joining us a little bit.
- 15:22Lena Cho from West Hampton, NY, 2 guys in Vegas that are from
- 15:28the New York area, 1 Chris Collier who's from Hempstead, NY
- 15:33and this this kid, Dylan Lauby is from really, really East
- 15:37Coast, east side of of Long Island.
- 15:40He's from West Hampton. And by the way, I have DJ at a
- 15:43couple of events for West Hampton, West to Hampton High
- 15:47School. So maybe I bumped into Dylan
- 15:49Lauby in the past. I don't know.
- 15:50But cool. And it's really, really funny
- 15:54when you get these guys on and, and they get to know you because
- 15:57they're from your neck of the woods.
- 15:58So it's it's a little bit more unique when you're talking to
- 16:01people that actually know Long Island and don't judge you
- 16:04because, oh, you got that weird accent, You got that Long
- 16:07Island. Exhibit A.
- 16:09Nick Goody. Casket I you know, I don't know
- 16:12the different. Well, Goody has a unique voice
- 16:14too. Sometimes a little bit junk junk
- 16:17comes out of his mouth a little too much.
- 16:19I love you, goodie. Anyways, the 2026 NBA All Star
- 16:24Weekend was yet another different format as the NBA
- 16:28tries to make the event as relevant as it once was.
- 16:33This year was uneven as many stars played very few minutes
- 16:38and small roles in the weekends festivities.
- 16:42The youth movement, however, did not disappoint, which many fans
- 16:47thought was an improvement on previous years and contests.
- 16:52San Antonio's Wemby as we own Wemby Yama took the spotlight
- 16:57early, making athletic plays on both sides of the court,
- 17:01contesting a lot of shots like he would in the NBA games.
- 17:06Anthony Edwards won the All Star game MVP.
- 17:09Wow. But mention how much credit
- 17:13Wembe deserves for sparking a competitive atmosphere.
- 17:17The All Star game usually doesn't have.
- 17:20Edwards team of stars defeated Team Stripes in the All Star
- 17:25Game final. Team World, who stars Luka
- 17:29Doncic and Nikola Yokich, didn't even play Game 2 for injury
- 17:34management reasons. Outside of Devin Booker, Team
- 17:38Stripes featured a lot of young players including Pistons
- 17:42forward, forward and point guard Kate Cunningham. 76ers guard
- 17:47Tyrese Maxi along with Mr. MVP him himself, Anthony Edwards on
- 17:54Saturday, the heats. Kashad Johnson won the dunk
- 17:58contest, while an injured Damian Lillard won the three-point
- 18:02contest. Led by #3 Overall pick of Rising
- 18:07stars MVP VJ Iscom. Vince Carter's team edged out
- 18:12Carmelo Anthony's team in the Rising stars game, while the New
- 18:16York Knicks won. Yes, while the New York Knicks
- 18:19won the first even shooting Stars challenge led by Jalen
- 18:23Bronson, Karl Anthony Towns and future Hall of Famer.
- 18:28I'm I'm not going to say that because that's probably not
- 18:30going to happen anyways. The I guess the assistant GM of
- 18:34the New York Knicks, Alan Houston.
- 18:37I will say this, I wrote a story and it's right up right now on
- 18:42the Worldwide Sports Radio Network and I'm going to bring
- 18:44it up right here so people can check it out.
- 18:46If you haven't read it, it is a great story.
- 18:48I put it together. I had a lot of thought to it.
- 18:51It's called Put the All Star Game in the G League and let and
- 18:56let it think about what it's done.
- 18:58Why the NBA needs to cancel its own birthday party.
- 19:03So ladies and gentlemen, go check out my wonderful story.
- 19:07I gave you my take on why the All Star Game should not exist
- 19:10anymore in the NBA because it's an absolute joke and they didn't
- 19:14disappoint it really. I know if you're Knicks thing
- 19:17you love to see the New York Knicks win that extravaganza of
- 19:22shooting as we saw Jaylen Bronson and Carl Anthony Towns
- 19:26and Alan Houston, who was one of the great shooters the Knicks
- 19:28have have always had. You know, you think about all
- 19:31the great players Alan Houston's get Alan Houston gets hidden for
- 19:36the time that he was a a really good player, an average 20 point
- 19:39scorer who at some point was the Knicks big time option,
- 19:44offensive option or either as a starter or off the bench.
- 19:48But when you watch the All Star game, you want to be wowed and I
- 19:53wasn't. And you think about it, the, the
- 19:57fact that the All Star game was out West and the game, I mean,
- 20:03as far as the All Star extravaganza, the its
- 20:06festivities, as far as the dunk contest, the three-point
- 20:08contest, it, it aired at 5:00 PM on the West Coast.
- 20:13And on the East Coast, it's 8:00, but you can't find it.
- 20:18You couldn't find it. It usually is on TNT, but TNT
- 20:21doesn't have that contract anymore, so it was on NBC/ESPN.
- 20:27So right there, and I'll say what I, I want to say about
- 20:30this. This is the perfect time to
- 20:32promote the All Star game because there's nothing going on
- 20:36except the Olympics. And if you're not a World
- 20:40Olympic fan, you're not really tuned into it.
- 20:43I mean, like we're watching right now curling.
- 20:46I mean, my girlfriend didn't even know what it was.
- 20:49So you're not, if you're not into the Olympic thought or into
- 20:53into the Olympic sports, you're really in tune to what's going
- 20:57on in the NBA because baseball isn't going on right now.
- 21:00Pitchers and catchers are a week away.
- 21:02I the hockey, hockey is right now put on hold because they're
- 21:06in the Olympics. I mean, if you want to watch
- 21:09NASCAR, I mean, Daytona 500 was on this weekend.
- 21:12If you're really interested in that.
- 21:15There's nothing. There's nothing going on.
- 21:17So this is the spotlight for the NBA and Adam Silver.
- 21:22And what Adam Silver should be doing is figuring out ways to
- 21:25entertain the fans and they failed to do that.
- 21:30Say whatever you want. And and by the way, Anthony
- 21:32Edwards winning an MVP for the All Star game needs nothing.
- 21:36It means nothing because this is the same guy that the NBA and
- 21:39American basketball is trying to put the the American basketball
- 21:45on his shoulders. We watched it on the Netflix
- 21:49documentary Go for Gold, and he pretty much told Obama that he
- 21:56doesn't want to be the face of America.
- 21:58He's the truth, but he doesn't want to be the face of America.
- 22:01He has no interest in being that person, that guy.
- 22:05And maybe Cooper flags going to be that guy in the future.
- 22:07He looks like he's going to be a rising star.
- 22:10They've got some good players coming out this coming year out
- 22:14of the draft. Three of them are are American
- 22:17coming out from Kansas and BYU and Duke.
- 22:21Maybe one of those guys could be the face of American basketball
- 22:24because we know it's not going to be LeBron James or Steph
- 22:26Curry or Kevin Durant much longer.
- 22:31And I, I'll say this, going back to the All Star game, bringing
- 22:35this world versus America. That's cool, that's cool.
- 22:41But you saw what the NHL did last year.
- 22:45What, what, what did they call that?
- 22:46The Four Nations having different nations play against
- 22:50one another, Finland and Sweden and America and Canada, 34 big
- 22:55time places, big hockey programs.
- 22:59It was fun to watch because they're playing not to, you
- 23:02know, play with your teammates or play again, you know, play
- 23:05for each other or whatever. Dilly dally and and be a skills
- 23:09skill player. And that's why you make these
- 23:11All Star games to impress the fan.
- 23:13No, they played for their colors.
- 23:15They played for their countries. And that's what obviously the
- 23:20NBA tried with this, but none of it made sense.
- 23:23Why do you have Carmelo Anthony and Vince Carter and Tracy
- 23:27McGrady and all these guys create their teams and compete
- 23:31against one another? First of all, I love you
- 23:34Carmelo, and I love what he does right now in the media world.
- 23:38I think he brings a different dynamic to his Brooklyn show,
- 23:41and it's great. It really is.
- 23:43But sometimes when somebody speaks too much into a mic, it
- 23:48gets you to wonder if the guy really knows what he's talking
- 23:51about or speaking about. I listen to these guys and Vince
- 23:56Carter, out of all of them, to me is the most knowledgeable 1
- 24:00when it comes to the game of basketball because I listen to
- 24:02Tracy and Tracy, this is not a shot at you.
- 24:06You are a great basketball player and when you went to
- 24:09Houston, you became a superstar. You were a great player with
- 24:12Orlando, but you knew you were never going to be, I mean, I'm
- 24:16sorry, Toronto, you never knew. I don't think you ever thought
- 24:20you were ever going to be the superstar, which you're when
- 24:23you're playing with your cousin Vince Carter from North
- 24:26Carolina. And he was a superstar, right
- 24:28when he he stepped on an NBA basketball court because of his
- 24:31ability to dunk and do all these acrobatic things on a basketball
- 24:37court. The league is different now.
- 24:41It's a business. It's about sponsorships and
- 24:45building a brand, including your own.
- 24:47LeBron James has been the king of that as maybe we should give
- 24:50him the name King for that because that guy is the first
- 24:54billionaire as an athlete playing in his sport.
- 24:57Now Tiger Woods became a billionaire but it wasn't.
- 25:00He wasn't a billionaire until at the tail end of his career and I
- 25:05don't even know if he broke a billion dollars even though his
- 25:07contract said that he did. LeBron is a natural billionaire.
- 25:12Michael Jordan was one of the first athletes to ever become a
- 25:15billionaire, not as a player. And if you ask Michael Jordan
- 25:21right now or Larry Bird or Magic Johnson about the game of
- 25:23basketball and even these All Star games, they would probably
- 25:26joke, bicker about it, laugh about it and tell you this is
- 25:31absolutely horrible to watch. You want to see the best players
- 25:37on the basketball court and in the All Star game, you don't
- 25:39even see them play at a high level.
- 25:42You don't. Karl Anthony Towns look like he
- 25:46was an overweight big man going up and down the court.
- 25:49That's what do you look like. Now, I'm not saying he doesn't
- 25:52look like that sometimes when he plays for the Knicks, but he
- 25:56looks better than that. He didn't look good.
- 25:59I mean, I don't care what anybody says.
- 26:01These guys, Anthony Edwards, if he wants to brag about being an
- 26:04All Star MVP, good for you. Good for you.
- 26:09You're choked in the Finals. We've seen you do that.
- 26:15It unfortunately, when you look at the NBA now and I, I, that's
- 26:18where my story really ends and begins.
- 26:21When you compare the players, the backup players on the bench
- 26:25on an NBA team, they're making almost $1.5 million more than
- 26:31some of the bench players on an, in an NFL, on an NFL team that
- 26:35holds 53 players and probably never gets a chance to play or
- 26:40play, I'm sorry, gets to play more minutes than you do and you
- 26:43never get a chance to play as an NBA player.
- 26:47I mean, how many 13th 13 players or the 13th player on the bench
- 26:52or 12th player on the bench actually gets a chance to play
- 26:54on an NBA team? And if they do, how many minutes
- 26:58do they have? A minute, 4 minutes, 3 minutes
- 27:03at best, at best, and they're making $3,000,000, two and a
- 27:10half million dollars doing nothing, throwing the throwing
- 27:14the at the end of the bench, the best players, some water.
- 27:17If if you want to, if you want to bring a player in to pay two
- 27:20and a half, $1,000,000 to to throw some water to Jalen
- 27:22Brunson or Mikhail Bridges, I'll do it.
- 27:25Give me two and a half million dollars.
- 27:27I'll do whatever you want. If you want me to wash their
- 27:29jock strap, I'll do that too. It's two and a half million
- 27:33dollars, but that's what the NBA All Star festivities is.
- 27:39That's what these All Star games are.
- 27:41Look at the NFL with the flag football.
- 27:42That's a joke. It's a joke.
- 27:47The MLBI mean it is competitive somewhat I I guess.
- 27:54I mean, you can't fake hitting a home run.
- 27:57I mean, I, I'm not, but I've seen pitchers just throw it like
- 28:01right over the plate for them to smack a ball.
- 28:04I think baseball, at least they play somewhat.
- 28:06I mean, it's some competition. Yeah, baseball.
- 28:09At least they try a little harder.
- 28:10They'll just take a picture out after 2 outs.
- 28:11Though the NHL has been the most impressive out of all of them.
- 28:14I mean, the skills competition, they love to compete against one
- 28:18another, They love it. And Gary Bettman has done a
- 28:20great job for all the hockey fans, booing him every time the
- 28:25the draft comes around. And I've been to a ton of them.
- 28:27I was invited to a ton of them and got a chance to interview
- 28:31Gary Bettman in the past. I feel bad for Gary because he's
- 28:36been there. He has the longest tenure of any
- 28:39of the commissioners. Gary Batman's been around since
- 28:42the 80's, the 80s with the NHL. Rodger Goodell's only been
- 28:48around what, 15 years? You have Manford?
- 28:52How long has he been around 10? Last year I was gonna say about
- 28:5510-11. Think about it, out of the four
- 28:59major sports here in America and Adam Silver I.
- 29:02Think it's always slightly before man.
- 29:03Yeah, Adam Silver is the biggest joke out of all of them.
- 29:06One of the ugliest commissioners I've ever seen.
- 29:09By the way, his ears are probably bigger than his old
- 29:12face. I mean, his nose sticks out like
- 29:15he's going to poke you in the eye, so.
- 29:17Basically, he's Pinocchio. No, he's worse than that.
- 29:19Oh, he's worse. Wow.
- 29:20He, I mean, he does a lot of lying, there's no question.
- 29:23That he does. I was going to say that's.
- 29:24Why? He does a lot of lying.
- 29:27But the NBA is just an absolute joke, the festivities.
- 29:33And I don't care what anybody says, it's great to see a New
- 29:34York team win something. We watched them play in this
- 29:37what this, this league tournament thing that they won.
- 29:41And listen, they won. I got a hat.
- 29:45It might be the only thing they win in the next 10 years.
- 29:47Get the Shooting Stars hat now, too.
- 29:49No, I didn't get that. I don't know if I won, but
- 29:52here's the facts. You want to see these young
- 29:55superstars develop and in the Rising Stars game, that was fun
- 29:58to watch, that was more interesting to watch than any of
- 30:03these, you know, slam dunk these contests that they have and even
- 30:06the All Star game, the regular All Star game, because you got a
- 30:09chance to to meet the Harpers. You got the chance to got a
- 30:13chance to meet and see the the stars in his league like Cooper
- 30:17flag and and all these guys play against one another.
- 30:20This is the future of the NBA and they're competitive.
- 30:23They're competing because they want to show off their skills.
- 30:26That's what you want to see when you look at the league now.
- 30:31I just think it's a bunch of cry babies because LeBron James has
- 30:35brought a distinct version of what the NBA shouldn't be now in
- 30:40the league. I don't care what anybody says
- 30:41and I'm not blaming LeBron James.
- 30:43And everybody keeps attacking me on my take like I hate LeBron
- 30:46James. Oh, I hate Steph Curry because
- 30:49I've said my piece against him. I don't think Steph Curry is a
- 30:52top ten player of all time because there's a lot of other
- 30:55guys that have distinctively, distinctively have changed the
- 30:58game. That doesn't mean Steph Curry
- 31:01isn't a great player, but when you look at the facts here,
- 31:06LeBron James just hurt the league, the growth of the
- 31:09league, not in a way for money, but when it comes to, hey, I
- 31:14want to play football, basketball, hockey or baseball,
- 31:20I'm looking at basketball completely different way right
- 31:22now. I'm looking at it as, oh, I got
- 31:26to be a prima Donna crybaby. That has to be a me player, not
- 31:36a team player to become a superstar in a league where
- 31:39there's so many of them. Think about it.
- 31:43Anthony Edwards, is he A-Team player, a me player?
- 31:46He's a me player. Webbing Yama is the only guy
- 31:49that I've seen, and I'm not a big Wemby fan because they're
- 31:52trying to compare him to LeBron James.
- 31:54I mean, I'm sorry, not LeBron James.
- 31:55Michael Jordan, He's the next Michael Jordan.
- 31:57He could go down better than Michael Jordan.
- 31:59I don't like when I hear that every single time a new
- 32:01superstar comes into this lake. I can't stand it.
- 32:06But what I do know about webbing Yama is he's a competitor.
- 32:09It doesn't matter if it's an All Star game.
- 32:11It doesn't matter if it's a skills competition.
- 32:13It doesn't matter if he's playing a pickup game on the
- 32:16street. This man plays to win, he plays
- 32:19to compete. Those are the type of players
- 32:22you want in the NBA. Those are the type of players
- 32:24you want to build your emblem, you want to build your brand
- 32:27around, not try baby LeBron or Anthony Edwards saying I don't
- 32:32want to be the face of American basketball.
- 32:35He can't even pronounce basketball.
- 32:37He goes to baseball. You know, I don't even know.
- 32:40How are these guys educated, honestly?
- 32:43You have Steph Curry saying it meant many, many different times
- 32:46saying that. Do we even know if we've been on
- 32:49the move before? I don't know.
- 32:50I mean, there's video, there's pictures, and this guy says
- 32:53we've never been on the moon. We should just somebody should
- 32:55just kidnap him from NASA and just put him in and put him on
- 32:57another planet for. See, the problem with the NBA is
- 32:59they use their platform to be like to be.
- 33:04It's everything they don't. They don't use the platform for
- 33:07good to help kids understand the game and and try to want to be
- 33:13the next big superstar in the NBA.
- 33:15No, they don't want to do that. What they do is they use the
- 33:18platform to attack politics or attack this attack that and and
- 33:23even this All Star game during the weekend.
- 33:25I mean, when it listen to what every single one player was
- 33:29talking about, they every one of them in some kind of
- 33:32conversation brought up ice every single one of them.
- 33:37I don't want to hear it. Go out there and impress me on
- 33:41your skills, your dunking ability.
- 33:43I don't care what your politician as a politician or
- 33:47your politic way, or if you're Republican, Democratic or
- 33:49conservative. I don't care.
- 33:53I care about the game of basketball.
- 33:55It's my favorite sport. It's my favorite sport since I
- 33:59was a kid and watching that All Star game, it was pathetic.
- 34:04Pathetic. They should be ashamed of
- 34:08themselves. The NBA should be ashamed of
- 34:10themselves having those festivities.
- 34:12And dude, some of these dunks that they were doing, I mean,
- 34:15they weren't even jump jumping from the foul line and they were
- 34:18like they were all like they were like dancing around like
- 34:21they were going crazy. Like it was the best dunk
- 34:23they've ever seen. When we've seen guys on the in
- 34:26the park in Brooklyn dunk like that, there was nothing
- 34:31impressive. And the fact that Damian Lillard
- 34:35won the three-point contest tells me one thing.
- 34:39Why is he on the basketball court?
- 34:41If you could shoot like that, you should be playing
- 34:43basketball. You're pretty much taking money
- 34:47from Portland. And that's what I that's where I
- 34:51come from when it comes to basketball and watching the game
- 34:53of basketball in the 80s and the 90s, because guys like Patrick
- 34:56Ewing, Michael Jordan, Charles Oakley, guys that I rooted for,
- 35:00Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniel, These guys would go on the
- 35:05basketball court with broken fingers, broken toes, bad knees,
- 35:11pulled hamstrings. You have LeBron James.
- 35:15Oh, my big key. I can't play for two weeks.
- 35:19Give me a break, a break, guys. So when I watch these All Star
- 35:26games and I watch the festivities and what they bring
- 35:28to the table, all they bring is a bunch of crap.
- 35:33A bunch of boring dunks, A bunch of guys that could shoot 3
- 35:37pointers. Hey, if I could shoot 503
- 35:39pointers in a day, which some of these guys do, Kobe Bryant even
- 35:43admitting he shoot 503 pointers in the morning and 503 pointers
- 35:47after practice. When you're shooting 1003
- 35:49pointers a day, you're going to be pretty damn good at it,
- 35:52wouldn't you think? Practice makes perfect?
- 35:54Maybe not for James Harden, but for everybody else.
- 35:59It's pathetic. The NBA needs to get rid of the
- 36:03All Star game. If they can't find a way to get
- 36:06these guys to compete in a competitive fashion, then get
- 36:09rid of it. Banish it.
- 36:11It's done. Sayonara Ovoir.
- 36:14As you know, Webanyama would say I don't want it anymore, I don't
- 36:19want to deal with it. And that's, to me, is where the
- 36:23NBA needs to go. Yeah, I think if you're going to
- 36:25make it where you're going to have these players, these
- 36:27younger players be more competitive, there's an obvious
- 36:29solution if you want to try to keep it, and that's get rid of
- 36:31the fan vote, because I think the fan vote is the big reason.
- 36:34That's all these other guys, the Lebrons, the Kevin Durants, all
- 36:36these guys that aren't showing effort are in the All Star game.
- 36:39And LeBron was out half the season.
- 36:41Like in a lot of years. If your name is not LeBron
- 36:43James, a player in that same scenario might be a fringe All
- 36:46Star at best because he's but he's LeBron.
- 36:49He's the LJA, the basically the face of the league forever.
- 36:52And you can, you can say you are.
- 36:54He says he's the first billionaire CEO.
- 36:55He's the CEO commissioner of the LJA because he's the he's the
- 36:58guy running the league now. I think when you look at the
- 37:02younger players than the previous generation, I would say
- 37:04outside of Anthony Edwards, Anthony Edwards is cocky,
- 37:05whatever. I think a lot of these guys like
- 37:09Wembe, like Nicola Yokich, like Lukodontik are not trying to
- 37:11make it all about themselves anymore, which I think is a good
- 37:14thing to an extent. You need more of those types of
- 37:16players to do it because this is a product that's been really bad
- 37:19for a while with the All Star game.
- 37:21And while this is a step in the right direction, you'd still
- 37:23can't say, OK, this is All Star Game is saved by any means just
- 37:26because the younger players played hard.
- 37:27Yes, the Rising Stars played hard.
- 37:28Yes, even some of those veteran guys, the Alan Houston's, Ron
- 37:32Harper's, the alumni guys, they played hard in that Shooting
- 37:35Stars contest and the youngsters are going to play hard.
- 37:37The only reason you're going to get the young, the only way
- 37:39you're going to get the youngsters to vote is if you
- 37:40collaborate with the players. I mean, obviously there's going
- 37:44to be some with the injury issues, whatever.
- 37:46Collaborate with the players and make them the ones or the
- 37:48coaches, the ones that'll vote on who plays in the All Star
- 37:51game, who wants to actually play hard.
- 37:53Make it something like that rather than the fan vote where
- 37:56you're just going to have all right, casual basketball fans
- 37:58voting for LeBron, casual backs, fans voting for Steph Curry when
- 38:02there might be more qualified guys.
- 38:04I'm not saying that Steph Curry's had a bad year.
- 38:05I'm not saying Lebron's had a bad year, but Kate Cunningham
- 38:08and Tyrese Maxi have been better than those two guys this year.
- 38:11And maybe in a popular vote that wouldn't have been the case.
- 38:15So I think you have to be able to branch it out where you seen
- 38:18progress with these younger players showing much more effort
- 38:21than the veteran players on the court, A young team winning in
- 38:23this new format and say, all right, we're going to have
- 38:26players vote and coaches vote from now on because a lot of
- 38:29these LeBron era and probably up until Joellen B, let's let's use
- 38:33that Ranch 2003, 2014, Those are the ones that are complaining
- 38:36the most. Those are the ones that are
- 38:37whining about trades. And they're the ones that are
- 38:40making the most money. And they're the ones like you
- 38:41were saying before that are making these outrageous
- 38:43statements. Kyrie Irving, James Harden, all
- 38:45these guys. It's really the outside of
- 38:47Anthony Edwards past the 2015 draft as much.
- 38:50You're not seeing that as much with Yokich, Luka, Doncic, the
- 38:53two Celtic stars, like guys like that.
- 38:54You're not seeing it with as much outside of Anthony Edwards.
- 38:57So that's the gap that if you want to save the All Star game,
- 38:59you got to start utilizing that more and brand these young guys
- 39:02better. I will say this, I agree with
- 39:05you with some of the young superstars that they have in the
- 39:08NBA and and Tyrese Maxi is a great player.
- 39:11I I know Fish didn't think he was a top five player when he
- 39:13was at the point of his dominance early in the season.
- 39:17He's been amazing on a roster that, let's be honest, when you
- 39:21playing with Joel Embiid and Paul George, 2 cocky guys that
- 39:24can't stay healthy and have their own thought about team
- 39:28basketball because I don't think they believe in it.
- 39:31I, I think Tyrese Maxi gives you a different impression on that.
- 39:34And I think the 76ers are put in a really good position.
- 39:37Having a player of that magnitude, especially a guy that
- 39:39wasn't a lottery pick, a lot of people passed up on.
- 39:42And you see his development as we've seen a lot of John
- 39:45Calipari guys after a little while, like Devin Booker when he
- 39:48came into the league, a lot of people were questioning he was a
- 39:51high draft pick. He was a lottery pick, but a lot
- 39:53of people were like, will his ability of shooting work in the
- 39:56NBA. And boy has it ever.
- 39:58I mean, he he's become more of a guy, more of a defensive player.
- 40:01In the NBA than he was when he was playing for Kentucky in
- 40:03college. But there are guys that Halpern,
- 40:06Tyrese Halpern, he was not a good shooter when he came into
- 40:09the NBA. A lot of people question his
- 40:10skills offensively. How is it going to work his
- 40:13release everything? Well, Tyrese Halpern has proven
- 40:16that he you can win with him and you could build a roster around
- 40:19him. Sacramento had to lose him to
- 40:21understand how great he has become as a player.
- 40:24But again, when you watch the rising star game, there are some
- 40:28thought that these the NBA is in in a very good position to build
- 40:32their organization and their brand around these players in
- 40:35the future. But when you have guys like
- 40:37Anthony Edwards, who is I, I would say 2526 years old, he's
- 40:41just, he's starting to kick as the the player, the go to player
- 40:45that the NBA can build their brand around when it comes to
- 40:48American basketball. He doesn't want to be the guy.
- 40:50He doesn't want to be the factor.
- 40:52And that goes to guys that are making fifty $660,000,000 a
- 40:57year. Where you, you, you wonder when
- 40:59guys like James Harden or I, I don't know, LeBron James, who
- 41:03are they're both at the tail end of their career.
- 41:06And what they've done for the NBA is they've taught these
- 41:09young players how to travel, how to not play the game of
- 41:13basketball the right way, how to complain to the referees so they
- 41:16can shoot 1415 of free throws every single game and get just
- 41:2114 points. Oh, I've become.
- 41:23I'm a good free throw shooter. Yeah, when you're shooting 2530
- 41:26of them every single game. I mean, James Harden.
- 41:29Think about this. When James Harden was a triple
- 41:32double player that year when he won the MVP, he was averaging 15
- 41:37to 16 free throws a game. Think about that.
- 41:40That's almost half the amount of points he needs to hit 30
- 41:44points. And when he's a good free throw
- 41:46shooter and he's only missing maybe one or none every single
- 41:49game, that's 16 points automatically because he was
- 41:54traveling with the ball, hopping to the hole or stepping back.
- 41:58Oh, I, I define the backup jump shot.
- 42:01Really. You, you defined it all right?
- 42:03You taught us how to double dribble.
- 42:05You taught us how to travel. The one thing that you're taught
- 42:08is a young kid not to do. Hey, James Hardens, the guy,
- 42:11he's the factor. He's the absolute impression of
- 42:15baby antics. Just say.
- 42:18Yeah. And again, I think you're seeing
- 42:19a lot of these other guys being more humble and maybe it's the
- 42:21international push with Wendy, with him showing the effort and
- 42:26some of these other players that are going to be coming in the
- 42:28league now that are more of the international stars because
- 42:30you're not seeing as much of their, I guess, antics.
- 42:33And we talked about it last year or not last year, I think right
- 42:35before the Summer Olympics a few years ago where we were talking
- 42:37about, oh, the European brand of basketball is going to take
- 42:40over. Now, I'm not saying that
- 42:41obviously the the freak athletes that you see the power game with
- 42:44the big men and stuff like that are the same in Europe as they
- 42:46are in the US. See why you have more of these
- 42:48tactical types like Yokich. Even Kristaps Porzingis when he
- 42:51got drafted was thought of as a shooter, not really thought of
- 42:53as that big behemoth type that you're seeing with guys like
- 42:56Joel Embiid. It's a different type of game.
- 42:58But that type of mindset I think is what these younger stars
- 43:00have, which is a good thing to see.
- 43:02But you can't judge just one year of a sample to say, oh, the
- 43:05NBA All Star game is saved. These antics are not going to
- 43:08continue as long as LeBron and these other stars are going to
- 43:10run the league. So I have some solutions Errol
- 43:13to to fix this, and I think there's a very simple problem
- 43:17them that they they haven't figured out yet.
- 43:20First off, before I tell you the solution, Dame isn't playing
- 43:23because Dame was bad at defense before he tore his Achilles and
- 43:27that dude's going to have to be completely healthy just to be
- 43:30passable on the defensive end. I, I kind of expect him to be
- 43:34kind of like a 6th man off the bench in this stage of his
- 43:37career coming back like this instant offense type of guy,
- 43:40because I defensively, I just don't think he can hold up in
- 43:43the starting lineup, But I hope he does because he's the one of
- 43:45the all time great shooters and competitors that we've had in
- 43:48like the modern era. But Speaking of shooters, like
- 43:52don't we have enough? Like, do I really want to see
- 43:54Cat, even though I'm so glad that Knicks won that?
- 43:56Do I need cat hitting like 3 foot shots and then 10 foot
- 43:59shots and then taking a shot from the top of the key?
- 44:02And then do I really need that? Do we, are we just playing
- 44:04around the world? Like, is that the best that we
- 44:07have that game? When I was a kid around the
- 44:09world, basketball. But, but like as something to
- 44:12watch, it's something to play. It's great, but it's something
- 44:14to watch. I, I'm not into that.
- 44:16So here's what I think. I think they should have went to
- 44:19what the fun games really are when you're on the basketball
- 44:22courts when you were kids. I like, I didn't want to play
- 44:24horse. I wanted to play.
- 44:26We called it Utah 'cause I grew up in the city.
- 44:29When I moved out of the city, they called it city or I've
- 44:32heard it called 21 one-on-one. You're always challenging
- 44:35someone king of the court. I'd love to see a king of the
- 44:38court in the All Star game, these All Stars challenging All
- 44:42Stars who can stay on the court one-on-one.
- 44:44Can you imagine like a guy like Michael Jordan back in the day,
- 44:46like just challenging everybody to come at him?
- 44:49It would have been and just calling people out even it would
- 44:52be the best ever or two on two tournament, you know, like NBA
- 44:55Jam style. Maybe you put hot spots on the
- 44:57floor where they could shoot a 5 point shot for Steph Curry.
- 45:00Wouldn't that be a lot of fun? But the reason why, like those
- 45:03things would be great. Those things it's not going to
- 45:06happen because they'd rather have these lazy shooting
- 45:09competitions that are boring to watch.
- 45:11You know what I mean? Like it's not fun.
- 45:13Like what we should see is competition.
- 45:16We had Luka and Jokic play what a combined 6-7 minutes in this
- 45:21Like the kids would say 6-7 minutes, absolutely nothing.
- 45:24A bunch of garbage accidentally didn't had to play into.
- 45:28You know what I mean? You know it's.
- 45:30It's funny that you brought up Luka Doncic cuz I was talking
- 45:32about, I was talking to one of the unique personalities for
- 45:36Nick Basketball. He has his own podcast and his
- 45:39name's Quran and his beautiful wife or his girlfriend Maxine
- 45:43and we, I was, I got a chance to be introduced to them.
- 45:46I was watching their 24 hour show this past weekend and they
- 45:50did, they talked Nick basketball for 24 hours.
- 45:52I want to give a shout out to them.
- 45:53They're sensational. They really are.
- 45:55And, and, and Quran knows his basketball.
- 45:57No question. He knows his Nick basketball.
- 45:59And I, I got off the phone with Karani.
- 46:01We were talking about the Lakers and and he's I said the Lakers
- 46:04are the one team that I think is going to tell they're going to
- 46:07be on a tailspin because once Lebron's gone, because LeBron is
- 46:10hurt the organization, I don't know if they're going to be able
- 46:13to bring players there because I don't know if anybody was going
- 46:16to want to play there. And she, he told me, he says
- 46:18they have Luca there and every every 5 to 10 years, they always
- 46:21get that superstar that they can build with which he's right.
- 46:24And pretty much he was, he was hand fed Luka Doncic was hand
- 46:27fed to from Dallas, thanks to you know who and the NBA hand
- 46:32fed him to the Lakers. And and but here's the problem.
- 46:35Does anybody really want to be a Laker?
- 46:37Now he says that don't be surprised if Nicola Yokich, you
- 46:40know, when he becomes a free agent in the next year or two,
- 46:44he he wants to go and play with Luca.
- 46:45But does it work? We've seen Luca play over there
- 46:49with Dallas with his his buddy Chris stops Porzingis.
- 46:52They wanted up fighting and it didn't get along.
- 46:54They didn't get along over there because Chris stops wanted a
- 46:57little bit more of the GOAT. He wanted to be one of the the
- 47:00go to guys, but he couldn't stay healthy.
- 47:02He had knee problems. Maybe that's the reason why the
- 47:04Knicks couldn't stand him or didn't want to them there.
- 47:06But what I'm saying here is the NBA is different now when you
- 47:09look at the teams like the Lakers and the Celtics or even
- 47:12the Knicks, the Knicks have become a good destination.
- 47:15They were never a destination. Now they've become more of a
- 47:18destination. And, and, and it really hurt him
- 47:20with the Charles Oakley thing. But when James Dolan did what he
- 47:23did to Charles Oakley and then LeBron, his big mouth came out
- 47:26and stuck up for Charles And I love Charles.
- 47:29I've interviewed Charles Oakley, love Charles.
- 47:31I, I love him. He was my favorite player
- 47:33growing up for the New York Knicks.
- 47:34So I'm not taking shots of Charles.
- 47:36What I'm saying is, is the league, the NBA guys like LeBron
- 47:40James after what James Dolan? That has nothing to do with the
- 47:43Knicks organization. It doesn't have anything to do
- 47:45with the the how it's run. When the owner opened up his
- 47:49mouth, it, it hurt the Knicks getting that big superstar.
- 47:52Why? Because LeBron James said
- 47:54something. He used the media to attack the
- 47:58New York Knicks organization and that set the Knicks back 5-6
- 48:01years because nobody wanted to go over there and play with
- 48:04Carmelo Anthony after that whole situation.
- 48:06So Carmelo, after the fact of that, that story happening, the
- 48:11Knicks could never find that other guy.
- 48:13As soon as Amari Stoudamire had to walk away from the game of
- 48:16basketball, nobody, no other Super 1st, I wanted to come here
- 48:19and play with him. All because of that Charles
- 48:20Oakley situation. Yeah, that's how the league has
- 48:23changed too. When you look at the format of
- 48:25these teams. We talked about it last week
- 48:26with the Lakers, like the Lakers had you, you mentioned there the
- 48:29Knicks of of the past now transforming themselves and
- 48:32they're really only being saved because they have LeBron and
- 48:34Luka Doncic. If they had that level of
- 48:36talent, they probably don't make the playoffs like the Knicks
- 48:38didn't do many times with Carmelo Anthony.
- 48:40If they didn't make the playoffs, they were they had
- 48:41that one year as a three seed and then every other year they
- 48:43were a French team. Does the NBA have a tanking
- 48:47problem? At the NBA All Star Game,
- 48:49reporters asked Adam Silver about the recent tanking
- 48:53behavior going on, related mainly to the Utah Jazz and the
- 48:58Indiana Pacers being fine 6 figure amounts for making it
- 49:03obvious that they were throwing certain games.
- 49:06Silver was very blunt with the media, saying that there's no
- 49:11options. I'm sorry, no options are off
- 49:14the table. As far as trying to prevent
- 49:18future tanking. Silver mentioned that he
- 49:20believes that the problems lie in in how the NBA draft is
- 49:25structured, where the three worst records in the NBA have
- 49:29the same amount of odds to get the number one overall pick.
- 49:33He also mentioned that tanking away draft picks from teams I'm
- 49:39sorry taking away draft picks from other teams could be a
- 49:43punishment if a team keeps purposely trying to lose.
- 49:47Another possible solution would be the to I'm sorry to end the
- 49:52draft lottery as Silver claims it it.
- 49:55It has a possibility to become a counterproductive rewarding,
- 50:01tanking, rewarding taking and opposing to trying to help the
- 50:07worst teams. There are five teams going into
- 50:10the All Star break with less than 20 wins right now with the
- 50:15Jazz, the Pacers, the Wizards, the Kings, the Nets.
- 50:17This draft is expected to be most mostly loaded with at least
- 50:238 franchise changing players expected to go in the top ten
- 50:28and four players that could be instant All Stars with Cameron
- 50:33Boozer, Caleb Wilson, Mr. Peterson, and AG Nebensa from
- 50:38BYUI. Don't think taking's that big of
- 50:41a problem with the NBA. I'm going to be quite honest
- 50:44with you because we saw a Dallas Maverick team that was probably
- 50:48the 10th or the 11th worst team in the NBA win the lottery.
- 50:54They went from 10 or 11 where they should have been and they
- 50:57jumped all the way to 1 because of the lottery.
- 51:00Now, maybe it was a winky dink or maybe it's just the NBA
- 51:03helping or throwing a bone to the Dallas Mavericks after
- 51:06trading Luka Dodgek and helping LeBron James and the Lakers out.
- 51:11I understand what they're saying and the Pacers have to be, I
- 51:15think a top, I think it's a top five or top six team to get
- 51:19their draft pick because if they're not a top five, top 6,
- 51:23I, I don't remember who it goes to, but it goes to another team.
- 51:26I think it's OK, Toronto, Toronto, whatever.
- 51:29I, I, I don't know who it's who it's from, but I'm hearing that
- 51:32they have to, they have to be in the top five or top 6 to get
- 51:36their, their first round draft pick.
- 51:39And that's the problem. I think that's the problem with
- 51:41the NBA, the unprotected and protected trades, and I've been
- 51:45saying this for a long, long time.
- 51:48If you're trading a pick, there shouldn't be a protected and
- 51:52unprotected because it it screwed the Knicks with Kristaps
- 51:55Porzingis. They got two first round draft
- 51:58picks for Kristaps Porzingis. At the time, Kristaps Porzingis
- 52:02was a 20 point player and almost 10 rebounds.
- 52:04He was one of the the best young players in the NBA.
- 52:08He really was. He was one of the up rising
- 52:10superstars and and probably one of the best young superstars the
- 52:14NBA and the New York Knicks have had in almost 10 years.
- 52:20And what happened? They traded him for two first
- 52:23round draft picks that turned into two second round draft
- 52:25picks that really turned into nothing.
- 52:27Kristaps Porzingis eventually moves from Dallas, it says the
- 52:31Celtics, and wins a championship.
- 52:33Helps out the Celtics. A big part of the Celtics run to
- 52:37win a championship. Thank you, New York for giving
- 52:40us a superstar player for nothing.
- 52:44That is the problem. And I don't know what.
- 52:46I don't know what Dallas got from the Celtics, but I'm sure
- 52:49they got something better than the Knicks got.
- 52:53It's a big problem. This protected, unprotected
- 52:56thing is the problem. It's not about the lottery and
- 52:59tanking. I I don't think it really
- 53:00matters because the NBA has control of that.
- 53:04They have control of it. You don't get a chance to do
- 53:07what the NHL did and, and, and draw the balls in front of the
- 53:11cameras. No, they have a closed door with
- 53:1418 tested ball sections where you can have multiple or
- 53:20hundreds of different ways to calculate who goes 12345.
- 53:27I mean, it's so weird. It's so different.
- 53:29It's like you have to be a scientific month, you know, I
- 53:33don't know, astronaut to understand how the NBA is
- 53:36picking these balls. It's a big problem with the
- 53:41protected and unprotected because what does it mean?
- 53:44Oh, so I'm going to trade the pick, but guess what?
- 53:47I'm protecting it. If, if, if it's not if, if I'm
- 53:52not drafting, if if I'm not as bad and I'm not drafting in the
- 53:55top five, anything after the top five, you can get the pick.
- 53:58That's what that's what these teams are doing.
- 54:00I'm trying to spit it out because I'm trying to think on
- 54:02how I want to as a as AGM or as a as a coach.
- 54:07I'm looking at how the NBA is working this.
- 54:10How does this make sense? So I'm going to trade a
- 54:14superstar player on my team, but I'll give you 2 first round
- 54:18draft picks, but they're protected first round draft
- 54:22picks. So if I'm a bad team next year,
- 54:27even with that superstar player and I, I, I'm a lottery pick and
- 54:32I fall into the top five, I get to, I get to pick that pick no
- 54:36matter what. How is that fair?
- 54:41It doesn't make any sense. And I understand the Bird right
- 54:44situation on obviously keeping players.
- 54:47I understand why the NBA did it and why they do it.
- 54:50Get rid of it. Get rid of it.
- 54:56It's not helping the game. And as like I said, as a Knicks
- 54:59fan, how many times as a Knicks fan have we seen the Knicks be
- 55:05one of the worst five teams in the NBA?
- 55:07We've seen it for in the last 25 years, at least 10 or 12 times
- 55:12in that stint. And I'm going to tell you this
- 55:16right now, I'm going to need a stint after watching this happen
- 55:21year in and year out. Teams like the Knicks getting
- 55:24screwed because they trade players because they don't need
- 55:27them anymore and they're not going to win with those players.
- 55:29And they try to to build on first round draft picks.
- 55:31And then after the fact that the Knicks traded McHale, traded
- 55:35from McHale Bridges and give up five first round draft picks
- 55:38that are probably going to mean nothing, nothing.
- 55:40And it went to the Nets. Knicks fans are jumping off a
- 55:43bridge. Why would you give up all those
- 55:45picks? We can get Giannis really.
- 55:50If you think that Milwaukee's going to want a bottom feeding
- 55:54third like 28th pick, 27th pick in the next 5 or every other
- 55:59five years, you're out of your damn mind.
- 56:02I would rather OG and an Obi or McHale.
- 56:05Bridges and a package. That's what I think is the
- 56:10problem. It has nothing to do with like
- 56:12tanking. I know Adam Silver wants to
- 56:15believe it when we all know everybody and their mother knows
- 56:18that it's bull crap. The NBA draft is is not a
- 56:23lottery. It's who do I have to pay under
- 56:27the table to get that pick? What do I got to do to get and
- 56:32Adam Silver and his bunch of goons, He get me a top three
- 56:36pick every time The Knicks had a, you know, anywhere close to a
- 56:39top three pick, they had RJ Barrett that the only way they
- 56:42were going to get a superstar player is if they drafted at one
- 56:45and two. It was never this deep where if
- 56:47the Knicks were in a top five or top six, they were getting a
- 56:50stud. Never.
- 56:52This is the best draft we've seen since the LeBron James,
- 56:55Carmelo Anthony draft. Do we remember who was in that
- 56:58draft? Dwyane Wade, Remember that Chris
- 57:02Bosh, that was one of the greatest drafts of all time.
- 57:06A lot of people compare this draft to that type of draft.
- 57:10But to say that the fact that Adam Silva, out of all the
- 57:13things Adam Silva can talk about the political views of these
- 57:18players, why are they? If I was at the media day or at
- 57:21the All Star game, I would be saying, hey, Adam, why haven't
- 57:25you controlled these players on what they say on your platform,
- 57:30on the NBA's platform? It is not their platform.
- 57:34Colin Kaepernick lost it. He lost his career.
- 57:37I'm not saying that I agree what Colin Kaepernick did, but
- 57:40because Colin Kaepernick used the NF LS platform to do what he
- 57:44did, kneeling down on on the American flag, he never played
- 57:48another day of football again. He had the whole league doing
- 57:53it. So Adam Silver, my question to
- 57:58you is, all right, you think these teams are tanking?
- 58:02That's fine. You think they're taking to get
- 58:05the future lottery pick, super stud in the NBA when we don't
- 58:10even know what these lottery picks are going to be.
- 58:12How many great players that we've seen get drafted, not
- 58:15turned into anything? A lot of them in the NBAI can
- 58:19name a bunch of them that the 76ers have drafted, the Lakers
- 58:24have drafted over the years, the Phoenix Suns.
- 58:29A lot of these guys don't turn into crap.
- 58:31So there's no guarantees. So let me ask you this question.
- 58:35Why do you let the players run your league?
- 58:39Why are the players have more of a voice than your own owners?
- 58:43Do? The guys that are paying these
- 58:46guys salaries, which are ridiculous by the way, Think
- 58:50about it. You have guys that are injured.
- 58:54Think about, I'm thinking about just thinking about players
- 58:56getting hurt. These guys, some of these guys.
- 59:01Paul George has been hurt how many times he's played, what,
- 59:04160 games in three years? I don't even know.
- 59:07I don't even have the number. But he's played like 160 games
- 59:11in three years out of 82 games every single year, he's making
- 59:16close to $50 million. How does an organization give a
- 59:23guy that barely plays answer that question?
- 59:27How's that fair? Contracts are guaranteed.
- 59:31Maybe the NBA needs to figure out what the new CBA is.
- 59:34If you don't play a certain amount of games, you don't get
- 59:36that full contract. That would make sense.
- 59:39That would mean something to me. I just, I don't understand why
- 59:44out of all the things you can talk about, how about why is the
- 59:46All Star game so goddamn boring? Why is it so dumb?
- 59:51Why are these players even invited?
- 59:53I'd bring, I would bring bench players to come and play these
- 59:56games. They'd be more interesting to
- 59:58watch. I would like to watch Miles
- 1:00:01McBride or somebody like that. Guys that are going to go up and
- 1:00:03down the corner, action, play defense, actually play the game,
- 1:00:06actually show people that he wants to be in the game.
- 1:00:10Not guys like I, I don't know, Anthony Edwards that's dancing
- 1:00:14and prancing around doing tomahawk jams because nobody's
- 1:00:16defending him. Or James Harding hopscotching to
- 1:00:19the hole because he doesn't know how to dribble.
- 1:00:23It's a big problem. The problems right now in the
- 1:00:25NBA doesn't lie in tanking. The problems with the NBA is
- 1:00:29these, these rules, these different things that they
- 1:00:32brought in to the implemented end of the game of basketball or
- 1:00:36brought into the game of basketball.
- 1:00:37That's pathetic. Pathetic.
- 1:00:43That's what bothers me about the NBA.
- 1:00:46That's what it is. Stop this crap Adam.
- 1:00:52You know you, you should have became the CEO of Disney.
- 1:00:54Maybe we don't have to see your ugly face for the rest of our
- 1:00:57time watching this game of basketball.
- 1:01:00Ask ask me this question. Why is the NBA regular season in
- 1:01:04most fans faces or folks most fan podcasting fans that listen
- 1:01:09to podcast? Why is the NBA not important in
- 1:01:12the regular season? That's my question because I
- 1:01:17will tell you this, besides the die hard, you know, basketball
- 1:01:22fan or sports fan, most fans in the regular season are not
- 1:01:26watching more than 20 games. Nobody gives a crap unless
- 1:01:29you're a die hard Knick fan, which I am.
- 1:01:31I'm not going to watch all 82 games, but I'm going to watch
- 1:01:33it. Maybe every single game.
- 1:01:35I'll watch 1/2, but it's it's unwatchable.
- 1:01:40Sometimes guys don't play defense.
- 1:01:45Players don't start playing until the last five weeks of the
- 1:01:47season going into the playoffs. It's pathetic.
- 1:01:52That's why I like watching OK C. If you ask me my true opinion,
- 1:01:56teams that really play hard every single game, teams like OK
- 1:01:59CI. Don't think there's anything
- 1:02:04more than what I have said that I would bring up.
- 1:02:08I would bring up right now, but trade as far as the draft is
- 1:02:13concerned, I could care less tanking or not tanking.
- 1:02:17I care more. I care more about right now.
- 1:02:21Why are these protected and unprotected picks actually still
- 1:02:25involved in the NBA? If you're going to trade a pick,
- 1:02:28you trade the pick. Even if you're a bad team the
- 1:02:31next year. If I'm giving you a superstar
- 1:02:33I'm and you're trading me your first round draft pick at the
- 1:02:36end of the season or the year after, I should get it.
- 1:02:39No matter how bad you are, if it's you turn out to be the
- 1:02:42number one pick, oh, so be it. You traded it.
- 1:02:44Yeah, I they've always had an issue with that because I think
- 1:02:47you look at the year to year basis that how much they could
- 1:02:50be spread out with the picks, which I think the NHL philosophy
- 1:02:53is a lot better. You have a conditional pick.
- 1:02:54Like we talked about the Rangers a few weeks ago.
- 1:02:56A third round pick can become a second round pick in this
- 1:02:58condition. A second round pick can become a
- 1:03:01first round pick. We've seen that before or we've
- 1:03:03seen kind of pick swaps. If you get it, if you want to
- 1:03:05pick a first round pick, then you can.
- 1:03:07The other team gets it the next year.
- 1:03:08That's what happened with Ottawa and Colorado.
- 1:03:10Ottawa got Brady Kachuk out of that and then Colorado I believe
- 1:03:14got a Bowen Byram. You were at that draft in 2019.
- 1:03:16That was a pick swap of year to year type thing.
- 1:03:19And Colorado could have easily gotten like Jack Hughes or
- 1:03:21something like that if they if it happened to be in their
- 1:03:24favor. That's the model of the NBA
- 1:03:26should take and not have these teams get backstashed so many
- 1:03:29picks. And that's the biggest problem.
- 1:03:31I think the second biggest problem is the other thing you
- 1:03:32mentioned the bias. I think The Mavericks should not
- 1:03:35be gifted a number one pick because they made the worst
- 1:03:38trade arguably in NBA history. And we've seen it with other
- 1:03:40teams too. The Pelicans have gotten, oh,
- 1:03:42they trade Anthony Davis. No, we'll still help you the
- 1:03:44next year. The Pelicans got Anthony Davis
- 1:03:45in 2012 after losing Chris Paul. And I think those types of
- 1:03:49cases, they have to figure out how to get more balance in that
- 1:03:52because there's other teams, the Knicks being included.
- 1:03:54Phoenix, another one you mentioned they got DeAndre Aten,
- 1:03:56but how many years did they get the number 4 or #5 pick when
- 1:03:59they had top three odds? That's why this percentage
- 1:04:01system is still very flawed. And if a gay, if a team like
- 1:04:04let's say all the five of those teams that you listed are
- 1:04:06clustered, all of them win in the low 20s.
- 1:04:10Like why should the three and four be that big of a drop off
- 1:04:13compared to the the one and the two and the three all getting
- 1:04:16the same? All those teams should have a
- 1:04:18similar number. And that's why I proposed this a
- 1:04:20while ago. It should just be based on games
- 1:04:23back. Let's say the lowest win team
- 1:04:24wins 21 games, then the first team out of the playoffs wins 38
- 1:04:28or something like that. Do 17.
- 1:04:30Do a system like that of similar odds, 17 ping pong balls all
- 1:04:34differentiated. Who cares about the ping pong
- 1:04:36balls? I don't think it means anything
- 1:04:39because we they already know who's going to win.
- 1:04:41They know who they're going to give the second pick to.
- 1:04:44I don't think that has anything to do with it.
- 1:04:46I think the problem right now lies really what I think the
- 1:04:50media should have brought up is the protected and non
- 1:04:53unprotected type of picks. I think that's the most.
- 1:04:57Errol I, I disagree a little bit.
- 1:04:58I, I think it's more like the quality of the game gets
- 1:05:01destroyed when they do this. It's not about the lottery.
- 1:05:03I don't really care about the lottery either.
- 1:05:05I don't care about the envelopes being frozen or the ping pong
- 1:05:08balls in the percentages. That's not really what it is.
- 1:05:11It's like, take a look at what happened to Washington, though.
- 1:05:13Washington traded for Anthony Davis, traded for Trey Young.
- 1:05:17They ain't going to play this year.
- 1:05:19Alex Saar is out too. He's like, they're only halfway
- 1:05:21decent guy going on right now. I guess champagne.
- 1:05:23He was in a dunk contest. He's OK Keyshawn George Nicks
- 1:05:28draft pick I believe as well. He's not bad as well as a 2
- 1:05:31guard. They're bad.
- 1:05:33They're trying to get a below the top eight pick.
- 1:05:36They may if they tried to compete, be a top eight team.
- 1:05:39But if they don't that protection now the Knicks don't
- 1:05:43get that pick from them. So if it falls as #9 the Knicks
- 1:05:47will get it. But this is a big time draft.
- 1:05:49Like you said, if you get a top ten that could be an All Star in
- 1:05:52this draft. So they're intentionally,
- 1:05:54intentionally tanking and they have guys.
- 1:05:57Look, Anthony Davis is banged up.
- 1:05:59Is he out for the season though? He's not.
- 1:06:01He could play. Trey Young has an MCL that's a
- 1:06:03six to eight week injury. Is he out for the season?
- 1:06:06No, he could play. Is he going to?
- 1:06:08No, he's probably not. And if he does, it's going to be
- 1:06:10in limited minutes and then they'll shut him down anyway.
- 1:06:13Fish. To put in perspective, Jaren
- 1:06:15Jackson in previous years would not have been able to be traded
- 1:06:18if he had that bad of an injury. Then, coincidentally, the second
- 1:06:21game he plays with Utah, he leaves the game in the third
- 1:06:22quarter. Now he's out for the season.
- 1:06:24It's like a like a lottery ticket for Danny Ainge, right?
- 1:06:26Like, like he knew he was like, oh, this is perfect.
- 1:06:28This is how I'm going to beat the cap this year.
- 1:06:30You know, and that's the thing. That's why I have a problem with
- 1:06:33the tanking because I just think it and then like you got at the
- 1:06:37end of the season Arrow. Are we watching regular season
- 1:06:39basketball when there's three to five games left?
- 1:06:41This guy's from the YMCA getting 5 minutes out there because they
- 1:06:45don't want to win. They don't want to win.
- 1:06:47They want to have the worst odds.
- 1:06:49Maybe that's why you get rid of the lottery.
- 1:06:51Maybe the odds are a waste of time.
- 1:06:53Maybe just get rid of it because it's a waste of time.
- 1:06:55But other than that, like I agree with you, I don't think
- 1:06:58it's the ping pong balls. I just think if you make the
- 1:07:01game suck because you're trying to lose, who wants to watch
- 1:07:04that? Who wants to pay big money back?
- 1:07:06Do you know how many times they screwed the New York Knicks?
- 1:07:08How many times has the NBA screwed the New York Knicks?
- 1:07:11And the one time the Knicks got the pic that they wanted and
- 1:07:14Patrick Ewing, they iced the envelope, as everybody says, oh,
- 1:07:18they cheated. They cheated.
- 1:07:20We don't know if that story is true, but that's what
- 1:07:21everybody's assuming what happened.
- 1:07:24David Stern has never come out. May he rest in peace ever come
- 1:07:27out and say, oh, that's the truth, that that really did
- 1:07:30happen. But that's what every single
- 1:07:32writers assuming happened. And again, going back to my
- 1:07:36thought, Utah, I can't stand Danny Ainge.
- 1:07:39If I could smack the crap out of Danny Ainge, if I get a chance
- 1:07:42to interview him face to face, I'd smack the you know what out
- 1:07:45of him. Because how many times, how many
- 1:07:47times have we seen Danny Ainge just stick it to the New York
- 1:07:51Knicks? He loved pissing off the New
- 1:07:53York Knicks fans and for the for the years that he was running
- 1:07:56that Celtic organization. And he's good.
- 1:07:58He's a good GM, he's a good executive.
- 1:08:00He knows the game of basketball. One of the things that he's
- 1:08:03always stuck out to being is one of the thorns in the New York
- 1:08:06Knicks, his ass. That's why the Knicks and why
- 1:08:09Jaylen Brown can't stand losing against the Knicks.
- 1:08:11Because one of the things and one of the reasons why Danny
- 1:08:15Ainge drafted a guy like Jaylen Brown was against, you know, to
- 1:08:18play against those New York Knick teams that he wanted to
- 1:08:21stick it to. I'm just telling you the truth.
- 1:08:24Jaylen Brown can't stand the Knicks.
- 1:08:25Out of all the teams that the Celtics play against when they
- 1:08:28lose against the Knicks, Jaylen Brown play when the Knicks just
- 1:08:31beat him and just tortured the the Celtics recently, they had a
- 1:08:35players team meeting after the game.
- 1:08:38Why? Because they lost against the
- 1:08:40Knicks. It's not because the Knicks are
- 1:08:41a good team. It's not because the
- 1:08:43organization actually knows what they're doing.
- 1:08:45No, it's because the Celtics lost against the oh the lonely
- 1:08:49New York Knicks. My problem here with the NBA is
- 1:08:52pretty strict. I think that this protected and
- 1:08:55unprotected pick, look if the Wizards this is my opinion.
- 1:08:59If if this unprotected and protected picks weren't around,
- 1:09:02the Knicks would have the Wizards pick.
- 1:09:04So what are the Wizards going to try to do?
- 1:09:06They're going to try to win because they want to screw the
- 1:09:09Knicks. But right now, because the
- 1:09:11Knicks only get their pick if it's out of the top 8, they're
- 1:09:15trying to do everything they can to keep their pick.
- 1:09:17That's the problem, guys. That's the problem.
- 1:09:21It has nothing to do with the lottery and choking up and and
- 1:09:25trying to find a way to get a higher pick.
- 1:09:28You know what's going to be funny?
- 1:09:30And I'm going to I'm going to predict us.
- 1:09:31The Jazz, the Pacers and the Wizards don't get a top three
- 1:09:35pick. I'm going to predict it today.
- 1:09:37They're all three of those teams because they're choking.
- 1:09:41Watch the NBA screw both All three of those teams.
- 1:09:45Watch it because I believe it's going to happen.
- 1:09:47If it happens, I'm I'm going to tell you guys it wasn't a
- 1:09:50Kowinky dink. I'm going to say it.
- 1:09:53I was right. I was right again.
- 1:09:55Told you guys told you so I. Think we're probably for the
- 1:09:57Nets to get the number one. Pick.
- 1:09:59Yeah, I'm rooting for the Nets. Why not?
- 1:10:01I know a lot of Knicks fans don't want to see the Nets get a
- 1:10:04lottery pick, but I'm rooting for them.
- 1:10:06Who wouldn't want to see Cam Boozer over there?
- 1:10:08That's true. I mean, I would love to see it.
- 1:10:10I don't care if he's if he's playing for the Brooklyn Nets.
- 1:10:13It only tells me that when he becomes a free agent, it'll be a
- 1:10:15Knick. You should just get sick
- 1:10:16courtside and see if you could tell Cam Boozer now you're
- 1:10:19playing for a good coach. I love Shire.
- 1:10:21I love anybody that comes from the Duke Blue Devils.
- 1:10:23I love him. I love him.
- 1:10:25Cams and Bob telling every single fan, remember I said
- 1:10:27this, Cam Boozer is the best player coming out of this draft.
- 1:10:31Remember I said this, He's the best player coming out of this
- 1:10:34draft. Book it, seal it, deliver it and
- 1:10:37spread your cheeks Speedy. I'm not doing that.
- 1:10:40I'll do something anyways. I want to hit it.
- 1:10:46Somebody's going to hit it. A lot of hot ladies.
- 1:10:48Nathan knows it. Do you want to jerk me off?
- 1:10:51Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we call this the Golf Clap of
- 1:10:55the Week. This deserves a golf clap.
- 1:10:59No doubt. Golf clap.
- 1:11:00Golf clap. And my golf clap goes to or my
- 1:11:05golf clap or golf clap goes to Tyree Kill, ladies and
- 1:11:10gentlemen, because the one and only Tyree Kill is a free agent.
- 1:11:16He's off to go where he wants as Miami decided to release him
- 1:11:21after that horrible injury this past year.
- 1:11:24A horrible watching his knees just like completely buckle the
- 1:11:27way he did it was disgusting. And a lot of people think that
- 1:11:30maybe Tyree Kill won't be the same, but something tells me the
- 1:11:33cheetah will be back next year. I don't know what full strength,
- 1:11:36but about 95% and a 95% Tyree kill is better than most 100%
- 1:11:43wide receivers. So let's think, where could
- 1:11:46Tyree kill go in free agency this offseason?
- 1:11:50Well, there's two teams that really stand out from all the
- 1:11:53rest, ladies and gentlemen, and that is the Kansas City Chiefs,
- 1:11:57the LA Chargers, and there's a lot of reasons why I would look
- 1:12:02at the Chargers as the front runner to get him one.
- 1:12:05Mike McDaniel is there and he played pretty well in that
- 1:12:08offense #2 that team with that offensive line is going to be
- 1:12:13elite. Justin Herbert #3 and Jim
- 1:12:16Harbaugh, since he has come back to the NFL 11 or more win
- 1:12:20seasons, back-to-back years. That tells him with all the
- 1:12:23injuries they've had this past year, having almost over eleven
- 1:12:27wins, it tells me Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl as they
- 1:12:31might be my surprise Super Bowl contender out of the AFCI.
- 1:12:35Don't know. I know we have Dylan Lobby
- 1:12:37coming on. I don't know if he'll get.
- 1:12:38You just named 2 AFC West teams. I'm just saying, I'm just saying
- 1:12:42they're going to look pretty damn good.
- 1:12:44I I think Slater and all coming back with that offensive line
- 1:12:48and, and with the ability for they're going to have in the
- 1:12:51offseason with the money they're going to have to spend.
- 1:12:53I think they're in the driver's seat.
- 1:12:54But yeah, my, my Golf Club of the day goes to Miami one they,
- 1:12:59they let go of the big mouth Tyree kill.
- 1:13:01And I don't know if it if it benefits them or hurts them.
- 1:13:04What it does benefit it benefits maybe Kansas City cuz they're
- 1:13:07going to be looking for a #1 wide receiver as Patch Mahomes
- 1:13:10is going to lose one of his big targets and Travis Kelsey who
- 1:13:13hasn't announced retirement, but it seems like he is off to the
- 1:13:18wizard as are actually he's following the yellow brick road
- 1:13:22to old Taylor Swift's house. Hopefully there there's nobody
- 1:13:26hidden in the pond because there's a couple dead bodies
- 1:13:28found over there. Anyways, I'm just saying.
- 1:13:30Anyways, yeah, my golf clap of the day goes to the one and only
- 1:13:36Tyree kill. Enjoy this freedom.
- 1:13:38Hopefully it's hands and back either in the red and whites or
- 1:13:43maybe I. I wouldn't even say it.
- 1:13:47What are the charges colors? Blue, light blue and.
- 1:13:49Blue, orange, yellow, blue. Yes, I'm color blind, ladies and
- 1:13:53gentlemen, whatever the colors are.
- 1:13:55Anyways, that's my Golf Club. When we come back, ladies and
- 1:13:58gentlemen, we're going to have a very special guest.
- 1:14:01He's never been on our show. We had his counter partner,
- 1:14:04Chris Collier on, but now we're going to have Mr. Lauby.
- 1:14:08We will be talking to Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan
- 1:14:12Lauby. Has he been on the show?
- 1:14:13Before no SO. There we go, first time for
- 1:14:16everything. Maybe won't be the last unless
- 1:14:19we scare him away. But when we come back.
- 1:14:21Dylan Lauby, sports minute up next.
- 1:14:25This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
- 1:14:30All right guys, what's up? Aaron Fisherman here with your
- 1:14:33sports minute. Got a couple of stories for you,
- 1:14:35then we'll get to some scores this evening.
- 1:14:38The NFL wanted grievance against the players association, ending
- 1:14:41the scourge that was the owner report cards.
- 1:14:45NFL owners like Jets owner Woody Johnson, who raises a big stink
- 1:14:49after team report cards routinely says he stinks as an
- 1:14:52owner, fought hard to end the national crisis and thankfully
- 1:14:56now NFL. Owners will no longer.
- 1:14:58Be held publicly to account for being bad at their jobs and in
- 1:15:02some cases true weirdos. An arbitrator found that the
- 1:15:06report cards violated the collective bargaining agreement
- 1:15:09by disparaging NFL clubs and institution.
- 1:15:12The report goes on to accuse the NFLPA of cherry picking
- 1:15:16questions and having agendas and blah blah blah blah blah.
- 1:15:19The owners were never going to let the players speak truth to
- 1:15:22power for long as now there is no transparency and oversight
- 1:15:26which can truly affect change in a positive way.
- 1:15:28Especially for the franchises dealing with the Baby Powder
- 1:15:32family wanting to turn back the clock to when their products and
- 1:15:35all their ventures could be safely recommended for use and
- 1:15:38enjoyment. In a strange story out of All
- 1:15:42Star weekend, Boston Celtics forward and All Star Jaylen
- 1:15:45Brown had his event shut down by Beverly Hills Police due to not
- 1:15:49having a permit for the event Brown was throwing for his
- 1:15:52brand. Brown came out on Sunday before
- 1:15:54the All Star Game, furious at the loss of hundreds of
- 1:15:57thousands of dollars and tons of work putting into a branding
- 1:16:00event that he claims the Beverly Hills Police are lying about and
- 1:16:04something that sounds like it's straight out of an Eddie Murphy
- 1:16:07movie from the 80s. Brown is claiming he did nothing
- 1:16:10wrong and had permission to use the private residence in Beverly
- 1:16:13Hills, which doesn't require a permit, while the cops are
- 1:16:16claiming that Brown applied and was denied a permit for the
- 1:16:19event but decided to hold it anyway, leading to a shutdown.
- 1:16:23I'm offended by Beverly Hills, by the statement they put out,
- 1:16:27like we applied for something and didn't get it and we did it
- 1:16:29anyway and we're insubordinate, Brown said after the All Star
- 1:16:32Game. I know how to follow the rules.
- 1:16:35I'm smart enough to follow the guidelines.
- 1:16:37It just seems like somebody didn't want whatever we had on
- 1:16:41going on to go on because everyone else was doing
- 1:16:44something and I'm the only one that gets shut down.
- 1:16:47The party was actually held at Brown sponsor Oakleys their
- 1:16:51founder's house, Jim Janard, who's also disputed the account
- 1:16:54of the cops. It feels like a legal action is
- 1:16:56coming for Brown and it's just another long legacy of beeps to
- 1:17:01add to the Los Angeles Boston rivalry.

- 1:19:42Ladies and gentlemen, we are now talking to Las Vegas radios,
- 1:19:46running back we spoke to, we spoke to Chris Collins.
- 1:19:49Now we've got Mr. Dylan Lauby. Dylan, what's up, buddy?
- 1:19:54What's going on? I mean the holy shit, the last
- 1:19:5610 minutes that I've been watching this, the juice has
- 1:20:00been unreal. Thank you.
- 1:20:01I'm not sure if it's been like this.
- 1:20:04Every single show because holy shit, I came in and it's been
- 1:20:07nuts. So I fucking love it.
- 1:20:09Thank you. Thank you.
- 1:20:10It is this show is absolutely everything that you know and
- 1:20:14you've seen every single time. This show is a little crazy,
- 1:20:17outlandishly nuts, but we know what we're talking about and we
- 1:20:21speak from our hearts. We do our investigations.
- 1:20:24We don't copycat anybody. We don't trick anybody.
- 1:20:27Oh, this is the If you know who we are, you know our
- 1:20:30personalities. New York, come on.
- 1:20:32We're New York guys, but we're also people, people that know
- 1:20:34our sports. Tell LeBron to kiss my ass.
- 1:20:37That's all I'm going to say. Anyways, we're not here to talk
- 1:20:41basketball. We're going to talk some
- 1:20:42football. And we had your boy, we had one
- 1:20:45of your buddies, Chris Collier on the show.
- 1:20:47You're both from Long Island, Strong Island, whatever you want
- 1:20:49to call it. We're we're building something
- 1:20:52here on Long Island. So maybe we'll talk off air.
- 1:20:54But I the the Raiders are an organization that have been a
- 1:20:59laughable organization. They're an organization that a
- 1:21:01lot of people say don't know what they're doing.
- 1:21:03They don't know you know how to put players in the right
- 1:21:05position to succeed. You bring in Pete Carroll, who
- 1:21:08is a veteran coach that's won a Super Bowl and in one year you
- 1:21:11fire him and let loose and then they bring in another.
- 1:21:14Now they bring in a rookie coach that's never done it but won a
- 1:21:17Super Bowl is the offensive coordinator.
- 1:21:19First, let's hear your thoughts. You have an opportunity now.
- 1:21:23You're you're one of those Raiders.
- 1:21:25You have a chance to speak about your new coach.
- 1:21:27Tell us what you know and what you like about your new coach.
- 1:21:31Overall in Vegas when I got got not here.
- 1:21:34I mean, think about it. I mean, if you're that NFL, you
- 1:21:37want Vegas to win. I mean you want they they are
- 1:21:39trying so hard for Vegas to win to be that kind of that bright
- 1:21:43spot in the NFL because it's Vegas.
- 1:21:44I mean, it's the gambling capital, it's the entertainment
- 1:21:48capital. It's just nuts.
- 1:21:49It's not. So I mean from the stadium to
- 1:21:52the facilities, it's if not one or two best.
- 1:21:56So like overall from the experiences, besides winning
- 1:22:00games, of course, it's been unreal.
- 1:22:03But now coming to my third year with with my actually my third
- 1:22:09brand new staff, it's tough. It's tough because I mean, now
- 1:22:13you got to build yourself again, you got to re establish
- 1:22:16yourself. So it's tough.
- 1:22:18It's tough. But what I've heard about Kubiak
- 1:22:21so far, man, I've heard he's just a bright young new kind of
- 1:22:25that new generational head coach type.
- 1:22:29And I think the Raiders are trying something new.
- 1:22:31So it's it's going to be fun. I got a chance to learn a little
- 1:22:35bit about Clint Kubiak. I, I watched him grow up as a
- 1:22:38young kid. His father, a Gary Kubiak, is a
- 1:22:41Super Bowl champion. He has two sons that are
- 1:22:44eventually, well, he has one that's going to be a head coach,
- 1:22:46another one that's going to be a head coach probably in a year or
- 1:22:48two years from now. When you look at the Kubiak
- 1:22:51Kubiak family, they're very, very well knowledged when it
- 1:22:54comes to the offensive side of the ball and understand the
- 1:22:57game, the speed of the game and the transition of offense to
- 1:23:00defense. When you look at obviously,
- 1:23:02obviously your game, how do you believe your game and the way
- 1:23:06you run the ball fits the Clint, Clint Kubiak type of style?
- 1:23:11So actually, I actually first met Coach Kubiak when he was
- 1:23:15with the Saints in 2024 when I was coming out of the combine.
- 1:23:20And it was one of those thirty team visits where they're
- 1:23:23allowed to take in 30 guys from around the NFL draft and bring
- 1:23:28in only 30 guys. For each team, so the.
- 1:23:31First team that I visited was the Saints, of course, and he
- 1:23:35was the OC there and it was me, him, the head coach there and a
- 1:23:40couple of the position coaches. And just the way he was talking
- 1:23:43was just from a young guy. You would think that he was so
- 1:23:48well spoken and just like so above his knowledge of age.
- 1:23:52Yeah, it was just unbelievable. I'm like this guy's 30
- 1:23:55something. You would think he's 50 because
- 1:23:57just the way he knows the game and he's just so smart and just
- 1:24:00I'm that type of back where I can kind of do it all.
- 1:24:03Of course, we got Genti too, who's our main workhorse back,
- 1:24:07but I think just with knowing that from either me or Chris, we
- 1:24:14could almost be that 1-2 punch, which we also know it's the NFL
- 1:24:172, so they're going to bringing up that more guys, probably more
- 1:24:22picks too. So at the end of the day, it's
- 1:24:26just a competition. So I now have to work to earn my
- 1:24:28spot in the team and now establish myself on the offense
- 1:24:32to show coach that hey, like I truly belong.
- 1:24:35So you mentioned all the differences with the different
- 1:24:37head coaches that you've had. Obviously Antonio Pierce was
- 1:24:39your first year when Chris was on the show.
- 1:24:41He was actually mentioning because he grew up a Giants fan
- 1:24:43he always looked up to. As a.
- 1:24:44Player and then obviously Pete Carroll, he was only the other
- 1:24:47one year, but I'm sure a good veteran mentor for you and he
- 1:24:49loved. He's been very good with running
- 1:24:51backs over the years. Even after Marshall Lynch was
- 1:24:53there, they had all these random guys that worked out in Seattle.
- 1:24:55And then I mean, now with Kubiak, like you're mentioning,
- 1:24:57like some of the differences with those head coaches, like
- 1:25:00has it helped you really grow in that running back room?
- 1:25:02100 percent, 100%. I think Antonio Pierce was my
- 1:25:05first coach that really kind of showed us the kind of the
- 1:25:09toughest that kind of comes with the NFL.
- 1:25:12And he was just like that hard nosed dude.
- 1:25:14He was, I think he was an undrafted guy.
- 1:25:17So he always came in every single day with that chip on his
- 1:25:20shoulder. Of course it didn't work out,
- 1:25:23but then Pete came in and he brought the juice every single
- 1:25:27day. Him being 74, you wouldn't even
- 1:25:30think he was 74. You would think he would be the
- 1:25:32complete opposite. You would think he's like 45
- 1:25:34because just the way he controlled the room and just the
- 1:25:38way he talked and was out at practice running around, you're
- 1:25:42like this guy's 74. Like he was just, he brought so
- 1:25:45much energy every single day. And it's just a shame because
- 1:25:49he's such a legendary coach and you would never want that kind
- 1:25:52of be his like kind of final, final year.
- 1:25:55But we actually saw him, me and a couple of my boys, we took a
- 1:25:59trip to Hawaii and he was there. So we actually saw him.
- 1:26:04He's doing great. He's doing fine.
- 1:26:05He's he's officially retired, so he's feeling good.
- 1:26:09But Kubiak thinks it's just going to be a bright new young
- 1:26:13spot for us. I'm really, really excited to
- 1:26:17see where like, he kind of brings in that new kind of spice
- 1:26:20for us. We are talking to Las Vegas
- 1:26:22running back Dylan Lauby and he's from Long Island.
- 1:26:26Strong Island from West Hampton Beach, New York, played for West
- 1:26:30Hampton Beach Senior High School.
- 1:26:32By the way, I, I've DJ D over there.
- 1:26:35I did some work over there over the years.
- 1:26:38I know, I know a little bit about West Hampton High School.
- 1:26:40Had to be back in the day, though.
- 1:26:42Had to be back in the. There's no more areas, yes.
- 1:26:45I got you man. I, I did a lot of their, their
- 1:26:47football, you know, football events and stuff like that.
- 1:26:50So. OK.
- 1:26:51Yeah, I was there. But nevertheless, you know, I'm
- 1:26:54here. I'm I'm here to to entertain you
- 1:26:56guys. Do you want to jerk?
- 1:26:57Me, I don't know if you want to do that, but ladies and
- 1:26:59gentlemen, I there is there is a lot to get into with the Vegas
- 1:27:02Raiders and one of them is the number one pick now I there was
- 1:27:07there Crosby was very upset at the end of the season because a
- 1:27:11lot of people believe that they sat Brock Brock Bowers and
- 1:27:15really sad, sad Crosby because they wanted to lose out.
- 1:27:19They wanted that number one pick and now they have a chance to
- 1:27:23land probably the only quarterback in this class that's
- 1:27:26going to mean anything and you know I'm talking about Mr.
- 1:27:29Heisman Trophy winner Mr. Fernando Mendoza.
- 1:27:32It, it seems like that's the route you're going.
- 1:27:34If, if that is the route your Raiders go, what is it going to
- 1:27:38be like playing with a player of that magnitude?
- 1:27:41A guy that has a very unique personality, very down to earth,
- 1:27:44but a person that's kind of like he's more about reading comics
- 1:27:50than, you know, going out and partying at A at a club.
- 1:27:53What is your what is your thoughts about Fernando Mendoza?
- 1:27:56To be honest, I think I think that's perfect because to be
- 1:27:59honest with you, I think the way Vegas kind of works to just the
- 1:28:03the personnel and the coaches. They also don't want to have
- 1:28:07just a great player, but also a person with a great character
- 1:28:11because Vegas, you know, it's a wild place.
- 1:28:15So they don't want someone coming in their their star
- 1:28:18player, their first round picked the coming and party his balls
- 1:28:22off and at the club drugs, drinking and doing all this
- 1:28:25stuff. So they want a good Christian
- 1:28:28boy that is just locked it on the playbook.
- 1:28:31That's a great competitor That's focused 24/7 so that so to be be
- 1:28:37honest, it's just a perfect situation for us.
- 1:28:39I love Fernando Mendoza. I of course it screws the New
- 1:28:43York Jets. I'm a Jet fan.
- 1:28:44I wanted to see him go to The Jets.
- 1:28:46I was at the Heisman Trophy dinner.
- 1:28:48I got a chance to interview him. I think he's a great kid.
- 1:28:51I think he speaks very, very well.
- 1:28:53He's a mama's boy and, and you can tell that all the trials and
- 1:28:57tribulations of what his mom has been through, he's she's been
- 1:29:00through Ms. and, and just the type of person what he had to do
- 1:29:05to get where he was and where he's been in Indiana.
- 1:29:08He, he grew up a Miami Hurricanes fan.
- 1:29:11Miami didn't want him. Nobody wanted him.
- 1:29:14He finally gets into Cal. He gets a chance to play for Cal
- 1:29:17and then he goes into the portal, goes to Indiana and then
- 1:29:19does what he does. And why is it?
- 1:29:21And it's quite fitting to see what happens.
- 1:29:23They go to the national championship in Miami against
- 1:29:26the Hurricanes, the team that he rooted for his whole life, and
- 1:29:29he beats them. What it's an amazing story when
- 1:29:32you see that kind of personality come to to the Raiders and has
- 1:29:36to be a leader and be a leader in a locker room with a bunch of
- 1:29:38young guys. Do you think that he would fit
- 1:29:40like a glove with some of the personalities in that locker?
- 1:29:43Room absolutely, man. I mean, that's just a insane
- 1:29:46story and such a inspirational story too, because and that
- 1:29:51locker room too, like guys want to fight for something and the
- 1:29:55QB is the prime position and such a key spot where they they
- 1:30:00want someone that they can truly support and be like, you know
- 1:30:03what, like we want to fight for this guy and he's a guy that
- 1:30:05just seems like he's just willing to fight for every guy
- 1:30:09in that room. So it's going to be cool to see.
- 1:30:11So if we get in which 99% sure that we will, 100 percent, 100%
- 1:30:17yes, he's definitely going up here.
- 1:30:20I'm not sure. Listen, it's crazy because
- 1:30:22everyone thinks that like NFL guys like know a lot more than
- 1:30:26than they do, which to be honest, we don't know Jack shit
- 1:30:30about anything. So when news hits, we know we
- 1:30:33know the exact same time as that.
- 1:30:35So Dylan. Watch this Watch this Watch what
- 1:30:36this. Is ridiculous.
- 1:30:38I know it's unbelievable. I mean, if if we don't draft and
- 1:30:42it'll be insane, but it's going to happen.
- 1:30:44It's going to. Happen.
- 1:30:45I know it's going to happen. It makes me sick.
- 1:30:47Makes me sick. So I know you do a lot of kick
- 1:30:49returning too, in addition to your role as a running back on
- 1:30:51this team. We've seen in your really even
- 1:30:54before you were three years coming in the league that they
- 1:30:56them change the special teams rules a lot to try to either
- 1:30:59prevent head injuries, to prevent leg injuries and all
- 1:31:02this stuff and trying to make it where the offense got more of a
- 1:31:05flash on the field. But now you settle the rules.
- 1:31:06This year you saw more kick returns overall.
- 1:31:09What are your thoughts on the way that they've handled the
- 1:31:10special teams and you as a player, like running back, a
- 1:31:13returner itself, and how does it change your role in your
- 1:31:15training? Yeah, Yeah, it's awesome.
- 1:31:17I mean, I mean, so the NFL is a production based league too.
- 1:31:23So now that you're increasing snap counts where now instead of
- 1:31:27maybe getting 10 returns a year because they kick kick it in the
- 1:31:31back of the end zone, now you're getting 80 plus.
- 1:31:34So now that's just just increases your reps and your
- 1:31:39value as a player. So it's still such, such an
- 1:31:44insane play because it's just a giant wall.
- 1:31:47You catch the ball and you just got to run through the wall,
- 1:31:49through the smoke and just find the hole and just go in.
- 1:31:53Half the time it doesn't even work.
- 1:31:55So it's pure chaos, but it's still awesome.
- 1:31:58Dylan, you, you could teach Speedy a little bit of of
- 1:32:00finding the hole because he doesn't know how to find holes.
- 1:32:04Don't, no, don't take offense to this.
- 1:32:05I'm sure you're a great teacher. It's not going to help me.
- 1:32:09Big hole, I farted. Yeah, there's a better chance to
- 1:32:12be finding bagel holes. Butt plug Jesus no.
- 1:32:16I'm not going to find any butt plugs sniffing.
- 1:32:20Oh God. Oh, but I I mean, there it is,
- 1:32:24the glory. Hole.
- 1:32:25There it is. Yeah.
- 1:32:26Bingo. Glory days for glory holes.
- 1:32:29So you have you have the Raiders, an organization, like I
- 1:32:34said, I've been a laughing stock.
- 1:32:35You have an owner that moved you guys to Vegas.
- 1:32:38You have one of the nicest stadiums in all of football.
- 1:32:41You have an interesting crowd. You have a lot of the Raider
- 1:32:44fans travel from Oakland all the way and and pack out that
- 1:32:47stadium, which is pretty damn amazing.
- 1:32:48It really is. You look at this team and I, I,
- 1:32:52I looked first of all, I, I know Ashton.
- 1:32:55I, I got a chance to meet him last year at the Heisman Trophy
- 1:32:59dinner. I think he was robbed.
- 1:33:00I think he was robbed because the gremlin, Mr. Travis, the
- 1:33:03gremlin hunter should not have won the Heisman.
- 1:33:06I don't care what anybody says. I was there.
- 1:33:08I, I was shocked. Everything fell out of my mouth
- 1:33:11and I couldn't stand looking at that smile when he went up
- 1:33:13there. I mean, we'll show you what he
- 1:33:15looks like, but I he makes me sick.
- 1:33:17But. Ashton is a young, kind,
- 1:33:20collective guy, beast of a man, can run through defensive lines.
- 1:33:24There he is. There he is.
- 1:33:25Ladies and gentlemen, the Gremlin himself.
- 1:33:28He calls himself the Unicorn. I call him the Gremlin.
- 1:33:31Anyways, you look at the the the talent that you have on this
- 1:33:36roster and there's a lot of questions to it.
- 1:33:38They still need to build and I think that Ashton will be the
- 1:33:41veteran on this team. Would it be crazy to think that
- 1:33:44you and Chris would be two and three on this roster now after
- 1:33:50most probably is done? He's probably retiring this
- 1:33:53year, which we've heard a lot of good things about him and his
- 1:33:55leadership. Could you see you guys
- 1:33:57yourselves at as one and two on the depth shots?
- 1:34:00Yeah, why not? I mean, who says we can't?
- 1:34:04So I mean, I think at the end of the day, it's our, it's how we
- 1:34:07perform in camp in in the offseason, how we train.
- 1:34:12So once again, you know that they're going to bring in a a
- 1:34:17couple of vets, maybe a draft pick, who who, who knows.
- 1:34:21But at the end of the day, it's kind of up to me and Chris to
- 1:34:25show it. And it's really in our hands
- 1:34:28because the only backs that that are truly signed are me, Chris
- 1:34:33and Jed D. So as of now, it's just us 3,
- 1:34:36which obviously it's going to be more.
- 1:34:38But yeah, I mean, I mean, shoot, man, why not?
- 1:34:40So I'm excited for that. Well, here I got, you know, we
- 1:34:43know the Giants had three running backs in the time they
- 1:34:46were they were Super Bowl champions with Jacobs and Brad
- 1:34:49Shaw and Ward. So they called themselves Earth
- 1:34:52Wind, Fire. So why don't we call you guys
- 1:34:55run, gun and shoot? How's that?
- 1:34:58I I don't, I don't listen. I don't let's keep it away from
- 1:35:02anybody that you know what plus plays with the Memphis
- 1:35:05Grizzlies, you know, because John Moran is one guy that you
- 1:35:07don't want to bring up that terminology to.
- 1:35:10Just days for everyone. Yeah, you'll probably be hiding
- 1:35:13under a desk or something if I'm around John Moran.
- 1:35:15Wrong gun and shoot. Hit the deck, He's on his way.
- 1:35:19I'm just saying, but run, gun and shoot, What about that?
- 1:35:21Or we could think of a name like, I don't know, it just
- 1:35:24popped in my head. Run, gun and shoot.
- 1:35:26I mean, you guys have an opportunity to be very special.
- 1:35:30I think Ashton Gente is a unique runner.
- 1:35:33He could do everything on the football field.
- 1:35:35We got a chance to see a little bit of his ability in the
- 1:35:38second-half of the season, but I just think that your offensive
- 1:35:42line was horrible this year. They didn't give him enough, you
- 1:35:45know, room to run. He didn't give you really all of
- 1:35:47you guys couldn't run the ball because your offensive line was
- 1:35:50so bad. What do you think the Raiders
- 1:35:52need to do this offseason to make the offensive line a better
- 1:35:57transition for you guys as winterbacks?
- 1:35:59Well, I think what helps the offense a lot in line too is not
- 1:36:02just the run game, but the pass game too, with receivers, a QB,
- 1:36:08a great running back, which we already have.
- 1:36:11And then I mean, think about it, Three of our five guys were all
- 1:36:15hurt this year on our front 5. So it's just, I mean, it sucks,
- 1:36:19but I think they're going to go after some guys either with
- 1:36:23picks or vets and who. Would you want?
- 1:36:26Who would you want? Is that speedy get up, get up
- 1:36:29the list of guys that are available right now for free
- 1:36:32agency as as offensive lineman. We give you 3 names.
- 1:36:36You give us one through three in order.
- 1:36:39Your number one guy, your number two guy, your number three guy.
- 1:36:42And, and, and I'll make it happen.
- 1:36:44I'll reach out to the GM and say, listen, make this happen
- 1:36:48because our friend Dylan Lauby wants it.
- 1:36:51I'm going to do it. I'm going to pull the trigger,
- 1:36:53ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to just reach out.
- 1:36:55I'll write a letter. I'll you know.
- 1:36:58It makes sense. I'll take a dump in a box and
- 1:37:01I'll send it over there with a nice little bow on it.
- 1:37:03I'll do something. Anyway, I mean, to be honest, we
- 1:37:06could probably get all three because I think we have like 80.
- 1:37:09Million you do, you do. No, I mean we got enough for
- 1:37:12them, so. The number you have the you have
- 1:37:14the number two amount of. Money you spent.
- 1:37:17In the offseason, all right, who do we?
- 1:37:19Got all right, so top the top three tackles.
- 1:37:21We'll start with those Rasheed Walker from the Green Bay
- 1:37:24Packers, Braden Smith, who I like a lot from the Indianapolis
- 1:37:27Colts, and then New York Giants, Jermaine Aluminor, who the
- 1:37:29Giants are not going to be able. To keep they have the Raiders.
- 1:37:31Had him too and the Raiders had him, so maybe there's a
- 1:37:33reuniting. And then also on the interior,
- 1:37:35you got Tyler Linderbaum start with the Ravens, Conor McGovern
- 1:37:39with the with the Buffalo Bills was previously with The Jets and
- 1:37:41Joel Botonio pretty good veteran stay away from.
- 1:37:43McGovern, you don't want Conor McGovern, but all right, so give
- 1:37:46us your top three, Speedy. Give them the names again.
- 1:37:48All right, so Rasheed Walker, Braden Smith.
- 1:37:50Just give the last name she knows.
- 1:37:51Luminor and then Linderbaum and govern Botonio.
- 1:37:54So the two guys, because we already have a great tackle,
- 1:37:57which is Colton Miller, but he he was hurt.
- 1:38:00So I think you guys start with the tackle on the opposite side.
- 1:38:04So I like, I think I like what you said with Braden Smith.
- 1:38:08What what be a big one. And then we go with the
- 1:38:10interior, who I liked a lot because we've played them out
- 1:38:13twice was Lindenbaum, who I really liked a lot.
- 1:38:18Those would be my two guys that I know are big money.
- 1:38:22But I mean, hey, listen, I played both of them so.
- 1:38:26You got it. All right, let's spin the wheel.
- 1:38:29Make the deal, Speedy. Give me a phone call.
- 1:38:32Let me read a child to Mr. Davis.
- 1:38:33I got AI, got a bone to pick with him, and hopefully he's not
- 1:38:36boning anybody else. Yeah.
- 1:38:40You're talking about a boss. I can't say anything.
- 1:38:42I know he's your boss, but I look at the girls that guy's
- 1:38:46sleeping with, man, Jesus Christ.
- 1:38:48I mean, they're 40 years younger than him.
- 1:38:50He I listen, I need to teach him how to cut his hair, man.
- 1:38:53I mean that that hairdo needs to needs a little changing.
- 1:38:56Or maybe I should throw him another bone, Give him a hat,
- 1:39:00even one of those beanies that fish wears all shell along.
- 1:39:02Something to hide that ugly hair.
- 1:39:04But I like Davis, by the way. I like him as an owner.
- 1:39:07I'm not going to say anything bad about him.
- 1:39:08Go ahead, Speedy. All right, I want to switch to
- 1:39:10angles. You played in New Hampshire,
- 1:39:12University of New Hampshire at AFCS school.
- 1:39:14We had a lot of Giants linebacker X linebacker Gary
- 1:39:17Reasons on last week. He was talking about his.
- 1:39:19Journey. Playing at Northwestern State in
- 1:39:21Louisiana, which is also an FCS school.
- 1:39:23So what are some advice you could give to anyone that coming
- 1:39:26from any of those schools on their on your NFL journey that
- 1:39:29how you got there from a school like new?
- 1:39:31Hampshire Just from my experience and just seeing my
- 1:39:34other teammates who I think a lot of people coming from the
- 1:39:38FCS don't think that they belong in the NFL.
- 1:39:41Maybe. And maybe initially they their
- 1:39:44dream is to go to the NFL and then as they get or as they
- 1:39:47become a junior and senior, kind of slowly fades away because
- 1:39:51they just know it's just a very hard chance to make it.
- 1:39:56But I always kind of just stayed the course.
- 1:40:00Did my job every single day, put my head down, just went.
- 1:40:03And I think if you just be super consistent in what you do and
- 1:40:07what you truly believe in, I think it will work out.
- 1:40:09So that's kind of been my kind of motto throughout my career,
- 1:40:15since high school, college and now the NFL.
- 1:40:18We are talking to Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Lauby
- 1:40:21and listen, that is his pet peeve.
- 1:40:23Ladies and gentlemen, put your head down and maybe something
- 1:40:25will happen. Oh, man, when you come on this
- 1:40:35show, listen, we have some fun. We're not going to sit here and
- 1:40:39be boring. This is not one of those
- 1:40:40interviews. Hey guys, we're going to ask you
- 1:40:42the same question everybody and their mother asks you.
- 1:40:46We don't do. That.
- 1:40:47We, we want, we want to have fun with you.
- 1:40:49We want you to understand that, you know, shows is
- 1:40:51entertainment, sports is entertainment.
- 1:40:54It's become more understanding with with fantasy and obviously
- 1:40:59sports betting. So I think the one thing I think
- 1:41:02a lot of sports shows are missing is comedy and and being
- 1:41:04yourselves and not having people tell you, hey, make sure you say
- 1:41:08this or make sure you don't say that.
- 1:41:10I think it's so pathetically boring and I don't want to do
- 1:41:12that. I want you when you leave the
- 1:41:14show. Wow, that show is crazy.
- 1:41:16That's one of the best shows of I've ever been on.
- 1:41:18You know, that's what I. Want people?
- 1:41:20Thank you. I appreciate, appreciate that,
- 1:41:22Dylan. So we look at the game and I
- 1:41:25don't know what you grew up here in Long Island.
- 1:41:27So who did you root for as a kid?
- 1:41:28Was it The Jets or the Giants? It was the Giants.
- 1:41:31OK, so he's a Giant fan, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:41:34So we've got three Giant fans here at the studio.
- 1:41:37We got Mr. Fish, who you heard as the executive producer, Mr.
- 1:41:41Speedy PD, who just asked you a question.
- 1:41:43And Tommy poops, if he's not on the toilet, he's rooting for the
- 1:41:47Giants. So you look at obviously the
- 1:41:51Giants organization as a fan, just him doesn't.
- 1:41:55Do you like John Horrible as a higher?
- 1:41:57Do you think that'll fit over there?
- 1:41:59Do you think it's a home run or do you think they should have
- 1:42:01went another way, another path to help a guy like Jackson Dart
- 1:42:05as a young player develop as a quarterback, maybe a Mike
- 1:42:08McCarthy? Do you think they made the right
- 1:42:10choice? I actually love it.
- 1:42:12I I think John Common out was probably if not one of the best
- 1:42:16coaches to either be in for free agency between him and Tomlin
- 1:42:22too. I was like, how can a a
- 1:42:24franchise let these two guys go? And, and they did.
- 1:42:29And I think Giants made a great choice and now they got a Hall
- 1:42:33of Fame coach who's a Super Bowl champ.
- 1:42:36So I mean, it's an easy choice, so.
- 1:42:38I want to further on with the Giants a little bit.
- 1:42:40Obviously, they made the controversial decision 2.
- 1:42:41Years ago. Getting rid of Saquon Barkley,
- 1:42:43and that was a big debate at the time, though.
- 1:42:45Do you pay a running back to you not pay a running back and
- 1:42:47obviously we've seen. Boy, they regret that.
- 1:42:49But we've seen obviously some good, good teams not pay him and
- 1:42:52make it work out. But you really need either the
- 1:42:54offensive coach of the quarterback.
- 1:42:55The Giants didn't have either one of those.
- 1:42:56They just have Joe Shane, who's been who've been practically
- 1:42:58demented downgraded to this like scout team at this point with
- 1:43:01the new ownership coming in there.
- 1:43:03So what are your overall impressions with the state of
- 1:43:05running backs across the league and obviously in relation to how
- 1:43:08really, really was rock bottom for the Giants?
- 1:43:10I think they're definitely undervalued by at the same time,
- 1:43:14like Saquon 2 going to Philly. I think they kind of built
- 1:43:19around him too with an they had an unbelievable offensive line.
- 1:43:23They had a good QB, they had great weapons, a great defense.
- 1:43:28And if you had that with a All Star Batman, it's just so hard
- 1:43:32to lose games because he was untouched for so many runs.
- 1:43:35And and if he's one-on-one with the safety of cornerback, I mean
- 1:43:38I'm thinking on him every single time.
- 1:43:42It just sucks because the giants had such a great player with him
- 1:43:46and he was unbelievable. It just didn't work out.
- 1:43:49And I think at the time, backs were very undervalued and they
- 1:43:54thought they could get something better.
- 1:43:56And he became a Super Bowl champ the next year or so.
- 1:43:59I mean, I can't say much about that.
- 1:44:01Dylan, the New England Patriots had three losses, and one of the
- 1:44:05losses were to your. Raiders.
- 1:44:09Of the season now I thought they were blown out of proportion all
- 1:44:14season long as far as their team and how good they were because
- 1:44:17they had one of the easiest schedules the NFL has ever seen
- 1:44:20actually the fifth easiest schedule when it comes to
- 1:44:23numbers in NFL history. When you look at yeah,
- 1:44:27absolutely. Yep.
- 1:44:28So you look at Drake May and you saw what he did in the playoffs.
- 1:44:32What was the number? What was the the analytic?
- 1:44:35So he had Drake May for a quarterback that played three
- 1:44:38games or more in the playoffs, had the lowest rated EPA in NFL
- 1:44:43history of like -41.2 I believe. It was so think about this.
- 1:44:47He was an MVP candidate, almost won the MVP.
- 1:44:50And I said it, he had a great season, but they played nothing.
- 1:44:54And if you look at that division, you have to play Miami
- 1:44:56and The Jets twice, which was easy free for all for them
- 1:45:00because of all the stuff that we've seen this year.
- 1:45:03So you think about it way and I said if Drake May is really an
- 1:45:06elite quarterback because me and my friend, my pal who used to do
- 1:45:10a show together, he came out to me and he says, Dylan, I'm
- 1:45:13sorry, Drake May will be an MVP candidate and an elite player
- 1:45:19within three years. Well, because he had this easy
- 1:45:22schedule. He was an elite player this year
- 1:45:24and a top three quarterback. And I said that's nothing.
- 1:45:27That doesn't sell me. That doesn't I apologize.
- 1:45:29I said he was right, but I I want to see him against good
- 1:45:32talent next year. My argument here was let's see
- 1:45:34how he does in the playoffs against elite AFC teams in elite
- 1:45:38defenses and boy oh boy, he didn't disappoint me at all.
- 1:45:42I haven't heard from Mikey see since the time he called this
- 1:45:45show and blabbered his fat mouth.
- 1:45:47So if you listen it, Mikey, eat crap.
- 1:45:50Stress eating a bunch of Oreos. Now you watch Drake May right
- 1:45:54now, my friend is Drake May, an elite quarterback in his league.
- 1:45:59Be honest. Don't worry, I'll protect you.
- 1:46:01I. Don't think I've watched enough
- 1:46:02film on him. Be nice to Yeah, yeah.
- 1:46:06So I want to give him his flowers and say he did make it
- 1:46:10to the Super Bowl even though he had an unbelievable team.
- 1:46:15I mean, I think he's a great QB, but once again, I haven't
- 1:46:20watched enough film on him. But I mean, that team from
- 1:46:23coming, what, 5 and 12 to now what, they were 14 and three or
- 1:46:28something like that or like, yeah, yeah.
- 1:46:30So I mean, I mean, they had to do something, right.
- 1:46:34It could have been Mike Rabel. It could have been Drake May.
- 1:46:38I mean, listen, at the end of the day, quarterback is the main
- 1:46:45kind of centerpiece of every single team.
- 1:46:47So I mean, they went 4. So, I mean, you can't say much
- 1:46:51about that, so. I know you're trying to be nice.
- 1:46:54It's all right, Dylan. I'm going to help you out, OK?
- 1:46:57I'm going to speak for you in like your shadow here and in.
- 1:47:01The answer would be the answer would be he blew and he was
- 1:47:05overrated. And we'll see what he does
- 1:47:07against top number one teams next year when his schedule is
- 1:47:10even harder than it was this year.
- 1:47:12So blow it out of your ass, Patriot fans.
- 1:47:15That's what I'd say anyways. By the way, we are talking to
- 1:47:17Las Vegas Raiders running back Dylan Lauby is a Long Island
- 1:47:22native. We talked to Chris Collier.
- 1:47:24Now Dylan, I, I look at the league and there's a lot of
- 1:47:27things that just make me want to shoot myself in the head.
- 1:47:30Not not literally, but it's sometimes I want to smack myself
- 1:47:33in the head when I'm looking in. The mirror or we got John Moran
- 1:47:35for. That yeah, that's Tutu.
- 1:47:37I I wouldn't shoot himself in the head.
- 1:47:38He just shoots at everybody else in many different ways.
- 1:47:41Here's the thing. I look at the league and I look
- 1:47:45at the game and, and, and, and what really turns me off about
- 1:47:48it is they've turned it into an offensive style of game.
- 1:47:51But yeah, defense is who are elite have to show up in the big
- 1:47:56game to win those games. And if you watch what Seattle
- 1:48:00did to the Patriots in Super Bowl 60, that just tells you why
- 1:48:05I believe in as far as winning championships, defense is more
- 1:48:09important than any other position.
- 1:48:12You look at your team, you have one of the more dominant
- 1:48:15defensive forces in all of the league in Crosby.
- 1:48:19Now what? What type of player, What type
- 1:48:21of person is he in the locker room as a leader, as a friend?
- 1:48:25We know he knows how to dress and we know he's covered with
- 1:48:27tattoos. What type of person is he?
- 1:48:30He's the man. I mean, he's actually like truly
- 1:48:32the man. When I got drafted, so I was
- 1:48:35drafted in the sixth round in 2024, he texted me immediately
- 1:48:39on exit, I'm pretty sure. And he gave me his number
- 1:48:43immediately and was like, Hey, if you need anything, please
- 1:48:47don't hesitate and just text me. And that's just the guy.
- 1:48:49He texted every rookie that making sure that if they ever
- 1:48:53need anything, he he's there for them.
- 1:48:56And that's just there's just like who he is in the person and
- 1:48:59even in the locker room too. He's the same way.
- 1:49:02He'll go up to every single person, every single person on
- 1:49:06the staff and just like just have a conversation with every
- 1:49:09single person. He's a such a humble individual,
- 1:49:12but at the same time he works his ass off from in the weight
- 1:49:16room to on the field, off the field.
- 1:49:19He's super strict with every single thing he does.
- 1:49:21He's his, he's just so he does the same thing just over and
- 1:49:27again and just it's never like a missed day.
- 1:49:31He never sleeps in. He's there at the same time,
- 1:49:34which I'm pretty sure he's at the facility 5:30 every single
- 1:49:37day and then he doesn't leave till 5 PM every single day.
- 1:49:40So he's, he's never not there at those times.
- 1:49:43He's there every single day no matter what.
- 1:49:48He's sober too. So he doesn't do any drugs,
- 1:49:52alcohol, like he's just a clean guy and he's just unbelievable,
- 1:49:56just unbelievable. So there's a reason why he's one
- 1:50:01of the best and it's because of the way he he he works in the
- 1:50:05facility off the field, in practice, he just lays people
- 1:50:09out 24/7. It could be a walkthrough
- 1:50:11practice. He's laying people out.
- 1:50:13So it's he's just a whole different animal, which it makes
- 1:50:16sense all. Right.
- 1:50:17I want to shift gears to another team that Errol doesn't like
- 1:50:20very much and that's the the Kansas City Chiefs.
- 1:50:21I'm sure you as a readers guy is kind of annoyed with all the
- 1:50:24attention they were. Getting I needed tonic.
- 1:50:26Yes, I think a lot of people needed a gin and tonic watching
- 1:50:29the the calls of the Chiefs got a lot of referee controversy
- 1:50:32with that and obviously all the Travis, Kelsey, Taylor Swift
- 1:50:35stuff like what are your. Thoughts as a?
- 1:50:37Division. I mean, this year was their
- 1:50:40worst year in a long time, so it was awesome to see.
- 1:50:43And we beat them the last game, which I understand half the team
- 1:50:48was hurt, but we beat them and it was like our Super Bowl
- 1:50:51because that was actually our first time beating the Chiefs in
- 1:50:54Las Vegas ever. So I think that was our first
- 1:50:58time in seven years or so, the last.
- 1:51:00Year was COVID in the 2020 year they beat them in Kansas City.
- 1:51:03Yeah. Yes, yeah.
- 1:51:04So that was our first time. So that was our our Super Bowl.
- 1:51:07But yeah, I mean, every single time we play them, we bring up
- 1:51:12the same thing with Taylor Swift, Kelsey Mahomes, all those
- 1:51:19main guys. And just know that they are the
- 1:51:21main guys in the NFL and we just got to the shit of them every
- 1:51:25single game. And like that's the game that we
- 1:51:27we circle every single year, every single year.
- 1:51:29And this year the the first game was tough.
- 1:51:33It was I think we lost like 31 zero.
- 1:51:35It was a tough one, but then, but then we finally came back
- 1:51:38and won, so it was cool. All right, quickly, who's your
- 1:51:41favorite player on your team? Who's your best friend?
- 1:51:43Best friend on the team? 1 and #2 when you came to the
- 1:51:47team, who was the guy that gave you the most crap?
- 1:51:51Who was the guy that picked on you the most?
- 1:51:54All right, so my best friend, he's he's a special teams dog.
- 1:51:58So we are on every single thing together.
- 1:52:01It's Tommy Eichenberg. He he's a doll, he's absolute
- 1:52:05dog. He's a special teams demon.
- 1:52:08He's probably probably going to be a starting back to either
- 1:52:11this year or or very soon. The most guy that gave me crap.
- 1:52:17It wasn't too bad. So I'll say the running
- 1:52:20backroom. We had a couple guys which are
- 1:52:24still like my best friends, Amir Abdullah and Alexander Madison
- 1:52:31where both vets. They were just busting my balls
- 1:52:34all the time, every single day. And but then he's like we would
- 1:52:37go back and forth though, but like since I'm a rookie though,
- 1:52:40they were just going back and forth on my all right guys.
- 1:52:43Funny, funny, funny. And they just like give me so
- 1:52:45many fines of so of like bull where I had to pay a fine for
- 1:52:49some stupid joke that I made or like something that made no
- 1:52:52sense at all. So it was all funny games, but I
- 1:52:55didn't like those were my 2 main guys.
- 1:52:57But same time they probably gave me a lot of shit, a lot of shit,
- 1:53:01but it was a good time. All right, Dylan.
- 1:53:03We're going to let you go, but I, I want to get you on the show
- 1:53:05again. I want to get Chris Collier on
- 1:53:07the show with you because I think it'll be great to Long
- 1:53:10Island natives and I want to talk to you.
- 1:53:12I want to talk to you Offset because I'm doing something with
- 1:53:15Chris here on Long Island to talk to 300 of the top 495 elite
- 1:53:20players here in Long Island. I would love for you and Chris
- 1:53:23to show up and speak to the fans and to these kids and, and tell
- 1:53:27them your story. I think it would be great being

- 1:53:54Or if you guys want you guys come, come to Vegas.
- 1:53:57I mean, that's not that little. See, Dylan, you could be the
- 1:54:02first running back to come through on having us come to a
- 1:54:04Jets game because Brandon Jacobs wasn't willing.
- 1:54:07No, listen, Dylan, Dylan, you, you, if you could get us

- 1:54:31and become faces in a sport that's so very hard to
- 1:54:34breakthrough in. So congratulations, man,
- 1:54:37congratulations. Let's talk.
- 1:54:39Get speedy. Information, of course.
- 1:54:41All right, guys. I appreciate you guys, these
- 1:54:43guys. Dylan Lobby, ladies and
- 1:54:45gentlemen, Las Vegas Raiders, running back.
- 1:54:49The Lobster, the lobby. What did I call them?
- 1:54:53Run, gun and shoot. There you go.
- 1:54:55Run, gun, shoot. I don't know who I'm going to
- 1:54:58give the gun to. Just not Jabbarat.
- 1:55:00Keep it from Jabbarat, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:55:02Stay far, far away from Mr. JA, as he calls himself.
- 1:55:06We're going to do something a little special right now.
- 1:55:09We have no sports on tonight, so we're going to do a fantasy
- 1:55:16basketball draft with the guys on the show.
- 1:55:19Nathan, you're in the backstage. We're going to have you draft
- 1:55:23the team for Jabba tonight. You want to come on in, so come
- 1:55:26on in. Here's the NIT.
- 1:55:28So you're going to do this and I'm just going to show you it's
- 1:55:30real simple. It's a collective points league.
- 1:55:33It's for the rest of the season. It doesn't matter.
- 1:55:36You don't have to set any line UPS.
- 1:55:37You just have to pick the best center, power forward, small
- 1:55:41forward, shooting guard, point guard and a 6th man slash
- 1:55:44utility spot in this round. We're going to then have the
- 1:55:47second set of rounds at the end of the show for your backups.
- 1:55:52Whichever one of your two guys that you have in those positions
- 1:55:54has more points at the end of the season.
- 1:55:56They're the guy that counts for your total score.
- 1:56:00And then we will do our usual compliment chorus weekly on
- 1:56:05who's in for a second and third. And this one, the standings
- 1:56:09matter, Errol. We're going to talk about it.
- 1:56:11Maybe we'll put some money on it.
- 1:56:12We'll decide once we start it next week.
- 1:56:15So here it is. Let me show you the board to
- 1:56:17start and we're just he's going to have it since Speedy, you
- 1:56:20were the. Champion of hold on, hold on.
- 1:56:24He can't. He can't get first every time
- 1:56:27and that's why he's first place, no?
- 1:56:29Fish, he's right. I've only won one NBA one ever.
- 1:56:32That's not fair. What he won, he won the regular
- 1:56:35season, then he won the playoffs.
- 1:56:36Yeah, well, we can't because he got three extra points, 3 or 4
- 1:56:40extra points I went. To giving him an extra pick.
- 1:56:43I was just telling him to make the order.
- 1:56:44You gave him. That's all I was going to.
- 1:56:46Say, all right, all right, you picked.
- 1:56:47The well, speedy What's the order of the draft?
- 1:56:51You get to pick first, pick if you want it.
- 1:56:54No, I will let let's go. Nathan will go first because
- 1:56:59that would be very interesting. I'll have Errol go second.
- 1:57:02Let's say you third me and then Tommy.
- 1:57:06All right, So it's going to be NIT Errol, me Speedy, Tommy.
- 1:57:13That's correct. Yep.
- 1:57:14All right, Nathan. So this is what I'm going to do.
- 1:57:17I'm going to show you the I'm going to pull this down.
- 1:57:21We're not going to keep this up anymore.
- 1:57:22This is just what I'm going to have in the backstage.
- 1:57:25And then I'm going to show you the actual player pool that we
- 1:57:29have in our league on Yahoo. It's using Yahoo's scoring
- 1:57:33because I added two points for a double, 33 points for a triple
- 1:57:37double. Not sure if that makes it five
- 1:57:39points for a triple double, but that was what I was intending.
- 1:57:42So here is the picks. Whatever it is you pick,
- 1:57:44whatever position they're listed at, that's the position you'd
- 1:57:46lock it in on your roster from today on forward.
- 1:57:49So if you want Luca as a point guard, he's a point guard.
- 1:57:52If you want him as a shooting guard, he's a shooting guard,
- 1:57:54Nathan. Make your pick all.
- 1:57:57Right. So for Jabba, for point guard,
- 1:58:01I'm going to go. You don't have to pick a point
- 1:58:03guard. You can pick any position, any
- 1:58:05player. I'm going to pick Luca.
- 1:58:08All right, point guard or shooting guard?
- 1:58:10Shooting guard. All right, right.
- 1:58:12So we're going to put Luca at shooting guard for Nathan.
- 1:58:17All right, Errol. I'm going to get webbing Yama.
- 1:58:21Do you want him at power forward or center?
- 1:58:26I guess I'll take him at, I guess, power forward.
- 1:58:30It doesn't really. Matter all right, Wendy at power
- 1:58:33forward, I'll go I go next. I will be taking Shay, Giljus,
- 1:58:41Alexander and I will be pointing, putting him at the
- 1:58:43only position he has, which is point guard.
- 1:58:47And then that goes to Speedy and let me just get back to the
- 1:58:51screen. So you.
- 1:58:52Can see. Other spots all right, so again,
- 1:58:55it's not going to delete off. I'm not going to move that
- 1:58:57quick. We have some at small forward
- 1:58:59and really look at it. Amen Thompson.
- 1:59:01This is the projected rest of the season points over here.
- 1:59:04You get a point and 1/2 or a steal or a block, 1.2 points for
- 1:59:08a rebound, something similar for an assist.
- 1:59:11I forget what it is Speedy, but it works a similar way as the
- 1:59:14daily fantasy would work. So it's the same system we've
- 1:59:17always used and one point for a point.
- 1:59:20So guys, this is how it works. You got center over here.
- 1:59:24What do you got, Speedy? Give me I guess I'll take
- 1:59:29Yokich, I'll take the best player for now and I'll judge
- 1:59:31the position later. All right, so let's put Jokic in
- 1:59:35at Center for Speedy, and that gives us Tommy for.
- 1:59:39Two, give me Jaylen Brunson and then if we're going, if we're
- 1:59:46also going center 2 somebody really want Wendy, right?
- 1:59:51I think you know you want. Wendy right now, Robin, you'll
- 1:59:53get your gun and. Nobody went Giannis, right?
- 1:59:56I'll go Giannis then. All right.
- 1:59:58And that's Giannis. They say he's coming back.
- 2:00:02Looks like he will be pretty soon.
- 2:00:04So we got Giannis and Brunson. You want him a power forward or
- 2:00:08center. Give me Giannis at center.
- 2:00:11Back to Speedy. Give me Kate Cunningham.
- 2:00:13All right, so Kate goes to point.
- 2:00:15All right, that brings it back to me.
- 2:00:18I need AI already took a point guard, so it looks like I'm
- 2:00:24going to go the other route. All right, I'm going to go with
- 2:00:29Sangoon at center. Gimme Alper and set.
- 2:00:33Noon. All right.
- 2:00:35Errol. Where are the point guards?
- 2:00:39So we already have Cade. The top three are gone.
- 2:00:42Jimmy Anthony Edwards. All right, you want them at
- 2:00:45point or two guard 2. All right, putting an Edwards at
- 2:00:492 guard. All right, that now brings us
- 2:00:53back to Nathan For. 2. I'm going Tyrese Maxi at point
- 2:00:57guard. All right, all right.
- 2:00:58And then I'm going to go Pablo and Caro at center.
- 2:01:02All right. And Paolo going at Center for
- 2:01:05Paolo. All right, let's bring it back
- 2:01:08to Errol. I'm going to go who's the who's
- 2:01:13the big man, the centers? So the top five are gone.
- 2:01:19This is what's left. I'm going to go with Donovan
- 2:01:21Mitchell. All right, Donovan Mitchell.
- 2:01:24And you're putting them at point Spider Mitchell.
- 2:01:31All right. And that brings it back to me.
- 2:01:33I've already taken a center and a point guard.
- 2:01:36No one's gone to small forward. Maybe I should go venture over
- 2:01:39there and see what's around. It's like a lot of guys around
- 2:01:43the same amount of points. So that would be kind of a waste
- 2:01:46of my money, my equity. Interesting.
- 2:01:51Interesting. Well, I guess power forward is a
- 2:01:56little bit more desperate, so I'm going to go and take Kawhi,
- 2:01:58who's been on fire the second-half of the season, most
- 2:02:01of the season. After that slow start for that
- 2:02:03whole team, I put them in power forward.
- 2:02:06All right, let's move on. Next is Mr. Speedy.
- 2:02:10Again and go back to the small 4 because I don't have any of
- 2:02:12those either. Yep.
- 2:02:13Yeah, yeah. You're right, they're always a
- 2:02:15similar point total. So I'm actually going to take a
- 2:02:18guy that's played pretty much. Every let's go, I'm going to.
- 2:02:21Take Scotty Barnes. Jesus, why do you?
- 2:02:23Have to so you can put him in four different positions.
- 2:02:25Where do you want to put him? I'm going to put him in small
- 2:02:27forward. All right, so Scotty Barnes for
- 2:02:31small forward. All right, And now that brings
- 2:02:34us to where am I right now? It should be Tommy, right?
- 2:02:38Yeah, for two again. Right.
- 2:02:40For two. All right, so for my shooting
- 2:02:42guard, I'm going to go Jaylen Brown.
- 2:02:46All right, so we're going to put Jaylen Brown in two guard and
- 2:02:51guys, we do get a utility spot. Double up if you want to.
- 2:02:56Now for I'm going to go Kevin Durant and I'm going to put him
- 2:03:01specifically at power forward. All right.
- 2:03:05And KD at power forward. So I got Jaylen Brown and KD.
- 2:03:08Not a bad wrap around right there.
- 2:03:10Back to Speedy. Go back to the centers now.
- 2:03:14Back to the Centers for Speedy. Here we go.
- 2:03:18All right, I'll take we're up here.
- 2:03:21I'll. Take towns and I'll put them at
- 2:03:23power forward for now. All right, so Speedy's going to
- 2:03:25take Towns the big cat, and put them at the four.
- 2:03:30All right, that brings it back to me.
- 2:03:31I need a two and a three, but it's an interesting strategy by
- 2:03:35Speedy. I think I need to go and get
- 2:03:39someone who I really like and I think he's going to finish the
- 2:03:41season strong and he's the next guy on this list.
- 2:03:44It's Jaylen Johnson. Give me Jaylen Johnson and I'm
- 2:03:48going to put him at the three. All right.
- 2:03:53And then that brings us to. Errol.
- 2:03:57Center and small, forward and utility.
- 2:04:00Give me Evan Mobley. All right, Mobley for Errol
- 2:04:04should return right after the All Star break, so should be
- 2:04:07back. All right, so back to what we
- 2:04:11have to Nathan now I. Think so, yeah.
- 2:04:13Nathan for Two. For my small forward, I'm going
- 2:04:17LeBron James. All right, Nathan's going to put
- 2:04:20LeBron at small forward. And then for my utility, I'm
- 2:04:24going to go Chet hungry. And you're going to put Chet now
- 2:04:30you still have power forward available.
- 2:04:32Why don't we put that there? OK, Yeah.
- 2:04:35That doesn't that doesn't make sense.
- 2:04:36So you can put any position at utility.
- 2:04:38All right, so that's your starting five.
- 2:04:41You got Maxi, Luca, LeBron, Chet and Paolo.
- 2:04:44Not bad for the Jabba Myth Foundation.
- 2:04:48All right, moving back to, is that 2.
- 2:04:53Yeah, that's two that's. Good.
- 2:04:55All right, Let's go the other way, Errol.
- 2:04:57Small forward. So Durant, Kawhi, Brown, and so
- 2:05:01basically these guys are gone. Amen.
- 2:05:04Thompson still available at the top of this list.
- 2:05:06Give me him. And.
- 2:05:07Yep, Amen, Thompson. Thompson, all right, goes back
- 2:05:11to me. I have Anita 2 guard and it
- 2:05:16looks like Devin Booker's just sitting there for me and or
- 2:05:19James Harden. I don't like really Harden to be
- 2:05:24healthy and to play all the games.
- 2:05:26I like Booker to give me Booker, all right?
- 2:05:31And that brings us to Speedy. And I'll take it's a stack with
- 2:05:36Yokich, I'll take Murray. Say that one more time, Jamal.
- 2:05:42Murray. With Yokich, Jamal Murray, Jamal
- 2:05:46Murray, all right, and now Tommy, you need a small forward
- 2:05:51and then any position at all. Quick question, could I move
- 2:05:55Julius? I'm sorry, could I move Kevin
- 2:05:57Durant to small forward and put Julius Randall as my power
- 2:06:00forward? Yes you can all.
- 2:06:03Right. I'll do that then.
- 2:06:04And then for my utility, I'm going to go, Derek White is my
- 2:06:10utility. All right, we got Derek White
- 2:06:15over at util. I got 2 Celtics.
- 2:06:18All right, back to speedy. Any position, everyone has a
- 2:06:21grab bag. Let me just put it up to the
- 2:06:22utility spot. All right, I'm going to take the
- 2:06:25Portland Portland big man to get 3.
- 2:06:30Possessions, Danny Avia. All right, so it looks like we
- 2:06:35are all right. So Avia from Israel.
- 2:06:37Avia. I will be.
- 2:06:41Then I guess that gives me the big, the big man himself, who
- 2:06:46was much better when he's not so big.
- 2:06:49Why did I disclose that Mister James Harden putting him over
- 2:06:54there at the util? All right, up to Errol utility.
- 2:07:00All right, so it looks like we have everybody on here imbeds
- 2:07:04available, John Moran's available, Trey Young's
- 2:07:08available, but I don't know if those guys are playing too much.
- 2:07:12Let's go to the next set of guys after that.
- 2:07:15Looks like we've got Michael Porter, Junior.
- 2:07:20Don't want him? Desmond Bain, Here we go.
- 2:07:25Avia is taken. So here's the next set of guys.
- 2:07:27Desmond Bain, Kevin Porter, Junior Cooper Flag, Steph Curry,
- 2:07:31Garland, Jalen Dern, Austin Reeves, Siakam Give.
- 2:07:36Me, Steph. Curry, all right, and then
- 2:07:39Nathan finish this up. Did someone take Devin Booker
- 2:07:41yet? Yeah, I took him.
- 2:07:43OK. I'm going to go Austin Reeves.
- 2:07:46All right. And then that's going to finish
- 2:07:48the first round of hour draft. We're going to do a second one
- 2:07:52at the end of the show for our backups.
- 2:07:54And again, we'll be keeping up with this throughout the year
- 2:07:56for different types of gimmicks. This is the first half the.
- 2:08:00First draft in this draft, because it's five teams, is
- 2:08:04second and that's where I was sitting.
- 2:08:06This is the full board as of right now.
- 2:08:10You can see our only team is Spider, Mitchell and Edwards,
- 2:08:12Amon Thompson, Wendy, Evan Mobley and Steph Curry.
- 2:08:16Nathan's got Maxi Luca, LeBron, Shet Paulo and Austin Reeves.
- 2:08:21Speedy's got Kate Cunningham, Jamal Murray, Scotty Barnes, Kat
- 2:08:24Yokich and Denny Avdia. I've got Shay, Gil, Just
- 2:08:28Alexander, Devin Booker, Jalen Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Alper
- 2:08:31and Sanguine and James Harden. And Tommy's got Oops.
- 2:08:34Tommy's got Jalen Brunson, Jalen Brown, KD Julius, Randall
- 2:08:38Giannis and Derek White. We'll get our backups later on
- 2:08:42in the show. The New York Yankees Daily News
- 2:08:45Gary Phillips reported Sunday that both AL fielders Jason
- 2:08:48Dominguez and Spencer Jones are not likely to be on the Yankees
- 2:08:53Opening Day roster. GM Brian Cashman mentioned how
- 2:08:57Dominguez getting everyday reps is in the best interest for his
- 2:09:02development at 23 years old, and he is likely to start this
- 2:09:07season in AAA after the re signing of Cody Bellinger and
- 2:09:12Trent Grisham in the offseason. Dominguez will still likely
- 2:09:17compete for the final spot with the Yankees and the Yankees
- 2:09:21bench with the utility man Oswaldo Cabrera, but it will be
- 2:09:26hard to find a spot in the outfield with Judge, Grisham and
- 2:09:30and Bellinger already there and standing at the DH if the
- 2:09:35intention is The Martian to get regular reps.
- 2:09:39Manager Aaron Boone discussed trying Dominguez at center
- 2:09:43field, which is absolutely horrible, although he struggled
- 2:09:46in left field last season, eventually costing him playing
- 2:09:50time in late season and playoffs.
- 2:09:54Another top Yankee prospect and outfield dispenser, Jones is
- 2:09:57listed behind Dominguez on the Yankees depth charts.
- 2:10:00Cashman also was quoted saying that Jones is blocked in both
- 2:10:06the outfield and at first base, with them bringing back Paul
- 2:10:10Goldschmidt and still having Ben Rice and Austin Wells.
- 2:10:15Cashman added that he thinks Jones is instantly good enough
- 2:10:20to start for another team right now.
- 2:10:22If he trades, if he's traded, but still saying that the
- 2:10:27Yankees organization is the best for him in in his success.
- 2:10:32Between AA and AAA last season, Jones had a .274 average, a .932
- 2:10:40OPS, 335 home runs and 80 RBIs in 116 games.
- 2:10:47I think it's an absolute joke. Absolute joke.
- 2:10:52If the New York Yankees decide to part ways with Spencer Jones,
- 2:10:57you have a young stud, a left-handed power hitter, and is
- 2:11:01the complete opposite of Aaron Judge.
- 2:11:04Now I'm not saying he's Aaron Judge, but when Aaron Jones,
- 2:11:07when Aaron Judge was a first round talent, a lot of people
- 2:11:10thought he might not be able to hit me in in the league because
- 2:11:13he strikes out a lot. The same thing is going on with
- 2:11:16Spencer Jones now. He's changed his swing.
- 2:11:19He still hit 35 home runs last year and he still hit 80.
- 2:11:22RB is finding a guy that hits 30 and 100 that his age is not.
- 2:11:28They don't grow on trees. As we said that about, you know,
- 2:11:31guys that came from the Mets and Mets decided to part away part
- 2:11:35part part ways with Pete Alonzo and he goes to Baltimore.
- 2:11:39Did they fill in his spot the right way after losing him?
- 2:11:42No, they added Simeons and they added Jorge, right?
- 2:11:47Polanco. I, I just, I, I and you're
- 2:11:50adding two players for one when you would have gotten Pete
- 2:11:53Alonzo probably cheaper than both of those guys.
- 2:11:56I, I just think that obviously the New York Yankees are
- 2:12:00bringing back Paul Goldschmidt. So Spencer Jones moved to first
- 2:12:03base. Doesn't make any sense, but why
- 2:12:05not try him there during the preseason?
- 2:12:08Why not try not, Why not try him in spring training to see if he
- 2:12:12can actually play at first base? And to say that Dominguez is is
- 2:12:16a better fit at at center field or playing him out in center
- 2:12:18field, If he can't catch in left field, what makes you think he
- 2:12:21could catch in center field when he's got to cover more ground?
- 2:12:25It makes no sense. No sense.
- 2:12:27What it tells me right now with the New York Yankees is they're
- 2:12:30going to part ways with Spencer Jones.
- 2:12:32They're looking at him as a trade ship.
- 2:12:35And if that's the case, they better get a lot back for this
- 2:12:38kid because I think he's the best prospect right now in the
- 2:12:41Yankees, Yankees farm system. And we talked really a lot of
- 2:12:46different experts that we've had on the show.
- 2:12:48We've talked about who he is as a player.
- 2:12:50This kid could really develop into a star.
- 2:12:53Now, usually when the Yankees trade these guys, they never
- 2:12:56turn into anything. I just think about it, you look
- 2:12:58at the Mets and some of the players that the Mets have
- 2:13:00traded over the last couple of years, they have turned into
- 2:13:03something after they leave. Ask the Cubs, they got a pretty
- 2:13:07nice player right now in in what center field that can catch the
- 2:13:10ball and hit the ball. So I'm not saying that the Mets
- 2:13:13made the wrong decision. But when you go back in time and
- 2:13:16you you look at the Mets and how much money they've spent on guys
- 2:13:19like Juan Soto and and obviously the guys that they've brought in
- 2:13:23this offseason or even a guy that's playing third base that's
- 2:13:27never played third base in his career.
- 2:13:28And Bowl Bichette, you question if Grisham signing, but they
- 2:13:33didn't sign him for that long. I think they signed him two
- 2:13:36years. So it's not like they overpaid
- 2:13:38for a guy like Grisham. But Grisham is not an everyday
- 2:13:41player. And I don't care what the
- 2:13:43Yankees think of him and what kind of season he had this year.
- 2:13:46He is not an everyday player. If he was, a lot of teams would
- 2:13:49have pressed and made a move for him in the offseason.
- 2:13:53He didn't get a lot of money. Got a couple 20 something,
- 2:13:55$1,000,000 for a backup player. I think he was overpaid for the
- 2:13:59New York Yankees. Now I look at this team and this
- 2:14:03and, and the roster, this is still a roster that's top three
- 2:14:06in the American League. That's not saying much because
- 2:14:08if I look at the National League right now with the Braves coming
- 2:14:11back full strength and we'll see how how good they are and, and
- 2:14:14how healthy they're going to be this year.
- 2:14:16But the Braves have a very good farm system.
- 2:14:18I expect high, I think spec highly of the Graves this year.
- 2:14:23You know the Mets are going to compete, but if they don't choke
- 2:14:26at the end of the season, the Cubs are going to be good this
- 2:14:28year. I expect Saint Louis with the
- 2:14:30farm system they have and some of the players they're going to
- 2:14:33be bringing up will be a lot better than they were last year.
- 2:14:36So there are teams and especially in the Dodgers
- 2:14:39division, they have 3 competent teams that can play.
- 2:14:42The Diamondbacks are going to be good this year as we expect them
- 2:14:45to be. The Dodgers obviously adding
- 2:14:47another power bat in the lineup and the Padres, they're going to
- 2:14:51be good again this year. Bring it back, Mike Michael
- 2:14:54King. This is still a very good, very
- 2:14:57talented roster. What bothers me right now with
- 2:15:00the Yankees is does Brian Cashman actually know what he's
- 2:15:03doing? And when Brian Cashman is
- 2:15:05throwing young kids on the bus or saying that he would be
- 2:15:07better off playing, either either he's going to be blocked
- 2:15:11or he's going to, he's better off playing for another team,
- 2:15:13another organization. What does that say about the
- 2:15:15Yankees youth? Because let's, let's be honest,
- 2:15:18I think Volpe is going to be better than he was last year.
- 2:15:21But I'm am I putting all my eggs in Volpes basket when Aaron
- 2:15:25Judge retires or steps away from baseball?
- 2:15:28Is he the guy that I'm building my roster around?
- 2:15:31Is he the next captain, the next leader of this foundation of
- 2:15:34players that they're going to have in the future?
- 2:15:37The answer would be, as of right now, no.
- 2:15:40And Jason Dominguez is not the guy either.
- 2:15:42And the fact that Jason Dominguez is in front of Spencer
- 2:15:45Joe. We've seen enough of Jason
- 2:15:47Dominguez and what they call the Martian to say that he is a
- 2:15:52second to your player at best. I don't think he's going to be a
- 2:15:54star in his league. He's a switch hitter and
- 2:15:57everybody thought when he came from the Dominican Republic and
- 2:15:59how much the Yankees played, I'm sorry, paid internationally to
- 2:16:04bring him here. I think they overpaid him and he
- 2:16:07was they were overcharged for a player that really hasn't
- 2:16:10developed into the player and and Florida remember him.
- 2:16:13This is a guy that was a highly profile player, center fielder,
- 2:16:17up, up and coming superstar for the Yankees.
- 2:16:20And the guy gets hurt, can't stay healthy and never really
- 2:16:24developed into the player that they thought he was going to be.
- 2:16:26Now he's bounced around and with different organizations, one of
- 2:16:29them the Boston Red Sox. And how is that?
- 2:16:32How did that benefit the Yankees and their foundation of youth in
- 2:16:35their farm system? This is a terrible, terrible
- 2:16:38take by Brian Cashman. And it just tells me that Brian
- 2:16:42Cashman is willing and able to just part ways with a a young
- 2:16:46stud, a young bat, which by the way, the Yankees haven't brought
- 2:16:49in since Aaron Judge. Think about it.
- 2:16:52They're the studs. They they brought in.
- 2:16:55We're all free agents, guys that were not part of the
- 2:16:57organization. Bellinger is not a Yankee.
- 2:17:00He came from the Dodgers organization before he jumped to
- 2:17:02the Cubs. So they're bringing in free
- 2:17:04agents this they're doing what the Mets are doing right now and
- 2:17:07it doesn't work. You have a homegrown player,
- 2:17:10first round talent that you can develop and bring them up slowly
- 2:17:14but surely. He's 24 years old.
- 2:17:16He's still fairly young. Why are you deciding, hey, you
- 2:17:19know what, we can get another piece.
- 2:17:21We can get a 1/3 baseman or we can get a a second baseman, A
- 2:17:26shortstop and maybe we tatty them up and pair them up with
- 2:17:29Grissom. I'm not Grissom Jazz Jism and
- 2:17:34and himself and get themselves another superstar to play with
- 2:17:38the Yankees. I don't know right now if the
- 2:17:41Yankees actually know what they're doing and if Brian
- 2:17:43Cashman is the right guy to make that decision.
- 2:17:46If I was House Steinbrenner right now, I block any trades
- 2:17:50for a guy, a young guy like a Spencer Jones.
- 2:17:53I think Spencer Jones has the opportunity to be a star here
- 2:17:56with the Yankees. The porch is built for Yankee.
- 2:17:59I mean, his swing is built for the porching Yankee Stadium.
- 2:18:03It doesn't make any sense. All that takes of Brian Cashman.
- 2:18:06And I know obviously I wasn't here when when you guys got a
- 2:18:09chance to interview Gary Phillips.
- 2:18:11So I wasn't here when that happened.
- 2:18:13I was in Florida. But Gary Phillips posting this
- 2:18:16and and bringing this story out, it only gets me to think that is
- 2:18:20this the last hurrah for Brian Cashman?
- 2:18:23Is Brian Cashman going to be parting ways with the New York
- 2:18:27Yankees if the Yankees fail to get themselves into the World
- 2:18:30Series this year? And the probably the answer is
- 2:18:32probably yes. So maybe he's willing and able
- 2:18:36to move a Spencer Jones because he's trying to save his ass.
- 2:18:39He's trying to save his position as the GM of the New York
- 2:18:42Yankees. Or is he really trying to get
- 2:18:45himself fired? Because you're not trading away
- 2:18:49a piece, a young piece that everybody's been talking about.
- 2:18:52We have had experts on the show. We've had guys that have are
- 2:18:56scouts that have been very successful, that have scouted
- 2:18:59some great players in the in the MLB that have made it to the MLB
- 2:19:04and have and made it as a success, a success story as a
- 2:19:08player. And now you're hearing, oh, you
- 2:19:10know what, Spencer Jones, he's 24 years old.
- 2:19:14Maybe we part ways, maybe we move him.
- 2:19:16He's blocked. He's probably not going to see
- 2:19:18the light of day this year as a New York Yankees because
- 2:19:21Dominguez, Jason Dominguez is blocking him.
- 2:19:24If it was Aaron Judge or if it was some other young stud that
- 2:19:28was playing in the outfield that I say, Yep, he's going to be
- 2:19:31blocked. There is nobody you're going to
- 2:19:33tell me that Grissom Grisham or whatever the hell you call him,
- 2:19:37him and and Jason Dominguez is the guys that are going to block
- 2:19:41this kid. This is an absolute debacle for
- 2:19:44the New York Yankees and for him to come out and and and this get
- 2:19:47posted in the Daily News. If you're a Yankee fan, you
- 2:19:50can't be excited to the for the future the Yankees organization,
- 2:19:54especially in in their in their in their with their franchise.
- 2:20:00And what is that? They're, they're young players.
- 2:20:03What, what's that? The prospects?
- 2:20:05Not the prospects, the farm system.
- 2:20:07It would bother me if I'm, if I'm a Yankee fan, I'm looking at
- 2:20:10their farm system. And, and to me, Jones has been
- 2:20:13on top of their farm system for the last past two years now.
- 2:20:17Lombardi has been slowly but surely moving up and it seems
- 2:20:20like he's the future shortstop or second baseman or maybe even
- 2:20:23third baseman of this team. But it would bother the hell out
- 2:20:26of me knowing that their farm system is been always been
- 2:20:30spoken about about this team. This is the guy, this is the
- 2:20:33future. This is the left-handed power
- 2:20:35bat that the Yankees have been building up over the last 4-5
- 2:20:40years in their farm system. When they drafted him, he was 18
- 2:20:42years old. He's now going to be 24, right?
- 2:20:45I think he's 24 years old right now.
- 2:20:47And, and you're going to you're, you're saying that he's going to
- 2:20:50be blocked and there's no chance or unless he has an unbelievable
- 2:20:53spring training, which only tells me if he does that they're
- 2:20:56moving on from him anyways. It it's a horrible take.
- 2:20:59I think if you're a Yankee fan, you can't be happy hearing this
- 2:21:02story that it could, It could mean Spencer Jones getting
- 2:21:07traded, maybe in spring training or before the season even
- 2:21:10starts. It's a terrible, terrible take.
- 2:21:12And I, I, I give a shot, I'll give a shout out to Gary
- 2:21:15Phillips for him to post something like this and know
- 2:21:18that there's going to be backlash maybe to him because he
- 2:21:21would post something like this. But obviously Brian Cashman
- 2:21:24getting all the backlash because it's, I think this is the last
- 2:21:28hurrah for Brian Cashman. Yeah, it always looks bad when
- 2:21:31you're throwing 2 prospects under the boss in one statement
- 2:21:33too. Like Dominguez, it's obvious
- 2:21:35that they didn't have a plan for him.
- 2:21:36Because they wouldn't have brought Grisham back otherwise.
- 2:21:38Like maybe they were had some concerns with him.
- 2:21:40So they had to feel like they had to replace Grisham in that
- 2:21:43center field realm. And now you're going to say that
- 2:21:45he's going to play center field. Then why are you bringing
- 2:21:47Grisham back? Like, first of all, Bellinger's
- 2:21:49coming back. He's going to play center field.
- 2:21:51And now you have a bunch of guys that can play at first base.
- 2:21:53Like Bellinger should play center field most of the time
- 2:21:56now. So why are you even bringing it
- 2:21:57up that you're going to experiment with him in center
- 2:21:59field? It's a horrible idea.
- 2:22:00Grisham would be the next option to play center field.
- 2:22:02He's not great there. But if Bellinger wants to, if he
- 2:22:05DH as a Stanton's hurt or something like that, or if he
- 2:22:08needs a day off, yeah, let him DH once in a while, let him play
- 2:22:10first base and let someone else DH.
- 2:22:12Like there's other options than saying, all right, we're going
- 2:22:15to throw Jason Dominguez, who was bad defensively with his
- 2:22:18vision in in left field as it is with because of his injuries,
- 2:22:21not as much range as he did at the beginning of his career.
- 2:22:23You going to put him in center field?
- 2:22:24That's the first. You don't have to say that kind
- 2:22:26of thing. Like you don't have to say that
- 2:22:28we're going to thrust you in a role because that's a kind of
- 2:22:31guy that could lose confidence. And Spencer Jones, Spencer Jones
- 2:22:33has raw left-handed power that is sometimes hard to find as a
- 2:22:36homegrown player, probably outside of Joey Gallo.
- 2:22:38I don't I can't think of one that had like this much hype
- 2:22:41coming into in the last 10 years, this much hype going into
- 2:22:45his prospect thing is just a raw power perspective.
- 2:22:47Obviously there's more flashy or five tool players like a Kuni
- 2:22:50and guys like that. But as a raw power guy, you
- 2:22:53don't have those kinds of things.
- 2:22:54And now all of a sudden you're saying, oh, there's no spot for
- 2:22:56him. So even if he does come up,
- 2:22:58yeah, he's going to be coming up his trade bait because and then
- 2:23:00you're going to toy with that and you're going to maybe get
- 2:23:03less value than you want to for him because you're being too
- 2:23:05cute with these prospects. Like Brian Cashman's a good eye
- 2:23:08of talent as there's a reason he's been there for a while.
- 2:23:10And obviously with the free agency, he's done pretty well.
- 2:23:13But when you're saying these things like that and getting too
- 2:23:15cute with these prospects, it's definitely not ideal.
- 2:23:17And now you're really putting pressure on one of them.
- 2:23:19Have to step up to make that statement look good by any
- 2:23:21means. And Jones has the capability of
- 2:23:23doing it. I'm a little less on Dominguez
- 2:23:24now, but you're right. Errol, like Flora, always high
- 2:23:27on at the time they got too cute with him.
- 2:23:29Clint Frazier I wasn't as high on, but he got they got huge
- 2:23:31deal with him. So right now if you look at
- 2:23:34their top prospects, all right, as far as hitting prospects.
- 2:23:38At #1 is George Lombard, Lombard junior, so he is the number one
- 2:23:44offensive prospect the Yankees have and he's a shortstop.
- 2:23:47There are stories coming out that the Yankees could move
- 2:23:50Volpe to second base if they lose Jazz Chisholm or they trade
- 2:23:53Jazz Chisholm sometime this season.
- 2:23:56Then there's Alma Rodriguez. Cruz Spencer Jones is the third
- 2:24:00best prospect on his list. He's 24 years old and he
- 2:24:03probably has the most upside because Lombard is is a guy that
- 2:24:07everybody expects to be a good player.
- 2:24:08But again, they thought Volpe was going to be Anthony Volpe
- 2:24:11was going to be a superstar player at his position at
- 2:24:13shortstop. It hasn't worked out in the last
- 2:24:15two seasons. He had a great rookie season.
- 2:24:18He won Gold Glove his second year and then he's falling off
- 2:24:21now maybe as the yips. I don't know what's going on
- 2:24:24with Anthony Volpe, but I I think the Yankees are going to
- 2:24:27give him another shot. If if, if you would ask me right
- 2:24:29now, if you think that Lombard is going to be the guy or he's
- 2:24:34he's he's an option that you're going to move to shortstop.
- 2:24:37Shortstop. If Anthony Volpe has a good
- 2:24:40year. You move Anthony Volpe in a
- 2:24:42trade with a guy like Jason Dominguez or you move him in a
- 2:24:45trade with another name, a pitcher, maybe a Clark Schmidt
- 2:24:49or Will Warren, one of these young pitchers in their farm
- 2:24:52system that they can move on. You don't move a Spencer Jones,
- 2:24:56a left-handed power that fits the Yankee Stadium as far as
- 2:25:00what we've seen over over the years with left-handed power.
- 2:25:02He is he as far as what I don't care if he strikes out a million
- 2:25:07times if he has 40 something home runs and he gives you 80 to
- 2:25:11100 RB is every single season. That's what the Yankees need in
- 2:25:15their lineup. That's what they need in Yankee
- 2:25:17Stadium. 82 games in Yankee Stadium.
- 2:25:19Those are the guys that you need.
- 2:25:21They don't grow on trees and now all of a sudden you're saying
- 2:25:23that he's being blocked that he is He doesn't as far as he's
- 2:25:27concerned, fit moving forward as as part of the future of the
- 2:25:32Yankees organization. That to me tells me that Brian
- 2:25:35Cashman say is really putting himself out there to say well,
- 2:25:39guys, fans or even GM's or I'm sorry, not GM's, owners.
- 2:25:44I'm going to be free at the end of the season.
- 2:25:46The Yankees are moving me. It does it does feel like he's
- 2:25:48screwed up really badly Errol because they this is what he
- 2:25:51said to be in the office. Remember this?
- 2:25:53We're too left. Handed.
- 2:25:55So that's why he doesn't want Spencer Jones.
- 2:25:57That's another lefty LaGrange. He's a AA guy.
- 2:26:01They think he probably not this year.
- 2:26:03Dax Kilby was their was their first round pick.
- 2:26:05They like him a lot as a shortstop, second base type down
- 2:26:09the road. Lombard is only 20 years old and
- 2:26:12I want to talk about that with with Dominguez in a second
- 2:26:15because Dominguez is 2 1/2 years younger or two years younger
- 2:26:18than Spencer Jones. Spencer Jones is in his age 25
- 2:26:21season and hasn't made it to the major leagues yet as a minor
- 2:26:24league player. That's not that's pretty old for
- 2:26:26a minor league hitter. Like as a pitcher, no, but as a
- 2:26:28hitter, it's a little old, right?
- 2:26:30And Dominguez has already got a year of experience at 23.
- 2:26:34So that that's that kind of says like Dominguez is further along
- 2:26:37in his development than Jones, even though Jones might have
- 2:26:40more power right now. Aaron just I guess that's what
- 2:26:43they're saying. Just so you know, and just so
- 2:26:45the fans know, Aaron Judge is rookie's full rookie season.
- 2:26:48He was 25 years old. I understand.
- 2:26:50And they said when Judge came up, he was old for a rookie.
- 2:26:53That's what they said when he came up.
- 2:26:54And boy, didn't change everybody's minds because.
- 2:26:56He's the best player in baseball, OK, but Aaron dodges
- 2:26:59once in generation. How do you know?
- 2:27:01Yankees somehow. How do you strike?
- 2:27:03Because his stats are better. Than anyones ever done that's.
- 2:27:07Three times. In the last four years, he's had
- 2:27:09better speeding. Could you bring up, could you
- 2:27:11bring up Aaron Judges numbers when he came out of AAA to the
- 2:27:15Yankees? I bet you they're a lot better
- 2:27:17than what? I don't know.
- 2:27:18About a lot better. I don't know about a lot better.
- 2:27:20So here's the thing that they're going to say.
- 2:27:23Spencer Jones strikes out over 33.
- 2:27:24Percent of the time, and that's not something that you can do,
- 2:27:27Aaron. Judge was going to strike out a
- 2:27:29lot, too. He was white, but not nearly
- 2:27:30that much. There's a certain level where
- 2:27:32you go off a Cliff and if you. Can't get on base and you can't
- 2:27:36you're. Striking out all the time,
- 2:27:37you're not putting the ball in play, you're not getting the
- 2:27:38RBIs, you're not moving guys over.
- 2:27:40And that's why that that whole guy like the the Adam Dunn, the
- 2:27:43guy that just hits, hits forty home runs and he wasn't without
- 2:27:47Fields and he was an All Star. So yeah, a couple of times.
- 2:27:50I'm not saying that, but Cashman, those type of players.
- 2:27:54Went Jason Dominguez will never be an All Star.
- 2:27:56He will never be. I don't know about that.
- 2:27:58You don't know how good he's going to be.
- 2:28:00I don't think he's any good numbers.
- 2:28:01Say that he's going to be good. I don't think he's any good, I.
- 2:28:04Really, the problem is Cashman screwed up the roster because
- 2:28:07they're like, we're going. To give the qualifying offer the
- 2:28:10Trent Grisham. And we're just going to get
- 2:28:13corner outfielders everywhere. And we're going to, maybe we'll
- 2:28:17put Cody Bellinger in center field a couple of times.
- 2:28:19Maybe we'll put Aaron Judge in center field a couple of times,
- 2:28:21even though he's almost 35. And they're just going to keep
- 2:28:25piercing together the most important defensive position.
- 2:28:27Do you have the numbers? Instead of putting Dominguez out
- 2:28:30there full time and letting us see what he has?
- 2:28:33Because you're not going to see this way.
- 2:28:35And you're going. To trade him before you find out
- 2:28:37or you're not going to value and he might ruin them, which
- 2:28:39they've done to a number of guys including our Co host who's not
- 2:28:42here tonight as well. All right, So Judge in the minor
- 2:28:45leagues had a 276 his last year when he came up OK, when he came
- 2:28:50up his last. Year so that would be 2015 two
- 2:28:5384 had. 12. Homers 44.
- 2:28:56RBI's and then. 2016, right before he came up in the middle
- 2:28:59of the season, 19 home runs, 65 RBI's, a 270 average.
- 2:29:03I'm, I'm sorry, but I, I'm going to say Spencer, look at the
- 2:29:06strikeout rate though, the strikeout rate, he's about in
- 2:29:08270. Four, it doesn't matter.
- 2:29:11He can't. Make contact on majors.
- 2:29:13You can't stay as a left-handed power hitter.
- 2:29:17That's what he is go through. All sorts of baseball history,
- 2:29:20if you strike out over a third of the time, you're not any
- 2:29:23strike out. No one has.
- 2:29:25Ever. No one has ever speedy.
- 2:29:26What did he strike out? What was his?
- 2:29:27What was his rate? It's going to say something like
- 2:29:292728%. That's still not good.
- 2:29:31That's still not good. It was. 33 to 27 it was bad and.
- 2:29:35Which is why they didn't bring him up till he's 20. 5% point 5%
- 2:29:40and you're going to say, oh, that's 5%.
- 2:29:42That point, whatever. Here's the thing.
- 2:29:44Here's the deal here. No, it's not.
- 2:29:46It really isn't in baseball. When?
- 2:29:48Like 5% he's hit more. Home runs he hit more home runs
- 2:29:52if he comes up this year. He had more home runs let his
- 2:29:56last year with the in the minor leagues and he had more RBIs
- 2:29:59than Aaron judge in his final year in the minor leagues.
- 2:30:02I'm going with Spencer Jones. I'm not trading them away.
- 2:30:05You want to look at statistics. You're saying that there's going
- 2:30:07to be lightning striker twice yes and a guy I loved him.
- 2:30:10He's going to just imagine we're going to have two Babe Ruths,
- 2:30:12yes. But I don't think he's Babe
- 2:30:14Ruth, but I think he's going to be a great judge's numbers are
- 2:30:17Babe Ruth S Well, I'm going to tell you this.
- 2:30:20This is a guy. That's going to hit 45 home
- 2:30:21runs. He might even come close to 50.
- 2:30:23Home runs in a season that type of.
- 2:30:25Player, he's going to hit over 100 RBI.
- 2:30:27So let me that type of player. I think this was 8.5 by the way,
- 2:30:31for John. What is it 28 point 528.5 right
- 2:30:3428. I was right.
- 2:30:35Four 4%. Oh my God.
- 2:30:36But I'm just telling you, nobody stays in the league over.
- 2:30:38That's fine. And you want to know.
- 2:30:40Something I'm going to tell you this.
- 2:30:41Right now this guy looked like a.
- 2:30:43An absolute stud in spring training.
- 2:30:45Last year I would give him a chance.
- 2:30:47I just think they screwed up the complete roster construction to
- 2:30:51me, Adam. Dunn was a very effective
- 2:30:54player. It was a like a Gold Glover or
- 2:30:56like fringe Gold Glover. A couple of times he gets on
- 2:30:59base because he walks or strikes out or hits bombs.
- 2:31:03I like guys that get on base and walks as good as a hit.
- 2:31:05We learned that in the Moneyball movie.
- 2:31:07The problem is this roster construction of Cashman is
- 2:31:10stupid and they don't have the like.
- 2:31:13Jazz is on the last year of his deal in my opinion.
- 2:31:16Trade one. You're not trading Grisham,
- 2:31:18you're not trading Bellinger. You just signed.
- 2:31:20So it's either Dominguez or Jones and you got to choose the
- 2:31:23right one because if they choose the wrong one, man, is it going
- 2:31:26to look really bad for Cashman after they need to keep Jones.
- 2:31:29I'm telling you right now, I've been saying this over and over
- 2:31:33and over and. Over again, they moved.
- 2:31:36This is this is going to be his room nation.
- 2:31:39He's done. Because I'm telling you right
- 2:31:41now, Spencer Jones goes wherever he goes, he's going to be a star
- 2:31:44in this league. I'm telling you right now, mark
- 2:31:46my words, this kid is going to be a star in his league.
- 2:31:48I've been saying it since he was drafted by the New York Yankees.
- 2:31:52I don't care if he hits he he strikes out four or 3 1/2% more
- 2:31:56than Aaron Judge. This guy has better numbers than
- 2:31:59Aaron Judge did in AAA. If he gets called up this year,
- 2:32:03his numbers are absolutely better than Aaron Judges.
- 2:32:06And I'm not saying you can hit lightning a bottle, but if you
- 2:32:09can get this kid to hit 250 in the major leagues and he's going
- 2:32:13to give you 45 to 50 home runs and he's going to give you a
- 2:32:17hundred 115 RPI's. Those guys don't grow on trees.
- 2:32:21That's Ryan Howard number. So they don't grow on trees.
- 2:32:24You don't just oh, I just don't want him anymore or, or he's
- 2:32:27blocked by. The Martian who's?
- 2:32:29Done nothing. Nothing.
- 2:32:31He's been in the league for 2 1/2 years.
- 2:32:33He can't stay healthy. I don't.
- 2:32:35I'm telling you right now, you trade Jason Dominguez and you
- 2:32:39give this kid a shot and what's going to happen is he's going to
- 2:32:42be in spring training. He's going to he's going to have
- 2:32:45another good spring training and the Yankees are going to move
- 2:32:47them. They're going to send them away
- 2:32:48to one of these teams that are going to get an opportunity like
- 2:32:52the Giants or somebody of that magnitude.
- 2:32:54And they're going to get themselves a stud, an absolute
- 2:32:57stud, young guy that wants to play baseball in the majors.
- 2:33:01I don't care if he's 25. That doesn't mean anything to
- 2:33:04me. Aaron Judge came into league at
- 2:33:0625. There's a lot of great players
- 2:33:08that came later in their, I'm kidding in a 27.
- 2:33:11They they come in later in their careers in their studs.
- 2:33:14This kid is a stud and the. Fact that they're blocking him.
- 2:33:17And he has not played one game in the major leagues yet.
- 2:33:20Tells me that the Brian Cashman has lost his touch.
- 2:33:24Honestly, I believe Job is right about this.
- 2:33:27He is absolutely right about Brian Cashman.
- 2:33:31Now, Brian Cashman coming out and saying that he's going to
- 2:33:33block this kid from coming up to the major leagues because of
- 2:33:37Grisham, who's been a journeyman that nobody gives a crap about,
- 2:33:41and and Dominguez, who's been in a league for 2 1/2 years as
- 2:33:45switch hitter, that he's up and down.
- 2:33:47He can't stay healthy. That's what you're gonna sell to
- 2:33:50the Yankee fan. Get out of here.
- 2:33:52You even have a true answer at first base.
- 2:33:53Like Goldschmidt was a sweat specialist, Rice and Wells had
- 2:33:56good flashes, but is there even enough consistent?
- 2:33:59Flashes This is horrible. This is a horrible thought that
- 2:34:02as a Yankee fan you know that probably your best prospects
- 2:34:06since. Aaron Judge is could could be
- 2:34:08traded before before the trade deadline or maybe before the
- 2:34:12season even starts. That's scary Yankee fans, if you
- 2:34:17are, if you really understand baseball and you understand what
- 2:34:21this organization has had problems doing and that's
- 2:34:24bringing up young power hitters. The last one since since they
- 2:34:31brought up right outside of Aaron Judge.
- 2:34:33Could you name the last power hitter that came up from the
- 2:34:36Yankees farm system? Could you remember?
- 2:34:39Does anybody remember Greg Bird was not a power hitter?
- 2:34:43For what? For a year and a half hour?
- 2:34:44It wasn't to me. It was never a power hitter.
- 2:34:47I don't care what. That is year and a half of.
- 2:34:48Great. He's the first baseman that
- 2:34:49choked. I never.
- 2:34:50I never liked Greg. Bird I I disagree.
- 2:34:53I don't think I just put. Problems and he never.
- 2:34:55Never thought could you name the last guy because I can remember
- 2:34:59one guy, one guy who they. By the way, they traded for for
- 2:35:02another. Guy, it came up in the 90s.
- 2:35:04I couldn't tell you in this system.
- 2:35:06Bernie Williams, Bernie Williams.
- 2:35:08Bernie wasn't a power hitter. He like 20 home runs a year.
- 2:35:11But he was a 30 hitter for a. Center fielder, That's a.
- 2:35:15Lot of well, I mean it's better than average for sure, but
- 2:35:18Bernie was like the. Thing that kills me about Bernie
- 2:35:20is he was a good fielder in the. Beginning of his career didn't
- 2:35:23have much of an arm I guess at the second-half of his career
- 2:35:25and the range went down. I'm pretty sure Bernie Williams
- 2:35:28had over 300 home runs. He he was like a 20.
- 2:35:31I don't I don't know if he did. He had 2020 to 25.
- 2:35:34A year. He was that kind of guy, and he
- 2:35:36was. A three, he had like 33287.
- 2:35:39He had almost 300 home runs. So if he played what, 15 years
- 2:35:42times 20? That's like that's like 300.
- 2:35:45Right there. So the guy was all over it.
- 2:35:47He was a great. Player I love Bernie Williams.
- 2:35:49I have his autograph on a hat. That guy's the best You looking
- 2:35:52at the you looking at the Yankees farm system over the
- 2:35:54past over the last 40 years, they haven't had really a.
- 2:35:58Power hitter come up as good as Aaron George or even this kid,
- 2:36:02and now you're going to part ways with this kid, a
- 2:36:05left-handed power in Yankee Stadium in a short porch where
- 2:36:09this kid could Jack up 4550 home runs in a season.
- 2:36:13And you're going to say, well, we're blocking this kid because
- 2:36:16he doesn't fit right now on this roster.
- 2:36:19What are you nuts? This is a horrible take.
- 2:36:23Horrible. By the way, shout out to one of
- 2:36:25our new fans of Christopher Sewell in the comments section.
- 2:36:27He asked is it possible next year that we see Judge at 1st
- 2:36:30and both Jones and. Dominguez in the outfield?
- 2:36:32No, I would see Bellinger at first because he's played there
- 2:36:35first. You know, like I think him and
- 2:36:37Rice and Goldschmidt are going to.
- 2:36:39Be in some kind of weird rotation and since they signed
- 2:36:42Bellinger, I'm assuming the plan is for him to eventually be the
- 2:36:45first base rotation with Rice and Rice gets off a catcher
- 2:36:49eventually. I just don't know if they have a
- 2:36:51catcher on the roster because I don't trust Wells really yet.
- 2:36:53I would move. That's the problem.
- 2:36:55I would move Austin Wells, especially at the trade
- 2:36:58deadline, if somebody's looking for a catcher who could play
- 2:37:01first. Base because I would move Rice
- 2:37:03as your everyday catcher. Now I know Rice has had knee
- 2:37:07problems in the past, so is Wells, but Rice to me is the
- 2:37:10better the better of the the hitters the guy hits for his on
- 2:37:14base percentage is way better than Wells and the guy has a
- 2:37:17better swing than Austin Wells. I would keep Rice.
- 2:37:20I would move Austin Wells. If you're going to bring in
- 2:37:23another pitcher, you're going to bring in another, you know, bat.
- 2:37:26I would move Austin Wells if you're trading Grissom and I
- 2:37:30would trade Dominguez. I would not move Spencer Jones.
- 2:37:34That is all. That is just horrible.
- 2:37:36I I just and watch, I'm telling you guys, Yankee fans, remember
- 2:37:39I said this because I'm not wrong on my Yankee Mickey takes.
- 2:37:42I'm I'm really never usually wrong about this.
- 2:37:46Spencer Jones is the real deal. I'm telling you guys this speed.
- 2:37:49How long have I been saying how long I haven't been saying this
- 2:37:52kid? I've been saying that this kid
- 2:37:53is the guy. And and if they're looking for a
- 2:37:55guy that's going to take over for Aaron Judge in the future,
- 2:37:58that is the guy that is the guy a powered left-handed hitter who
- 2:38:03can do things. And by the way, also could play
- 2:38:06multiple positions in on the field.
- 2:38:08He could play first base and he could play on any position on
- 2:38:11the outfield. He's he's that fast.
- 2:38:13He's very fast. He could play center field, he's
- 2:38:16long. He could play right and left
- 2:38:17field. He is he could play, he could be
- 2:38:20a 512 player and he could steal bases too.
- 2:38:22So for Yankee fans to if I was, if I was all over the blocks,
- 2:38:28I'm attacking this. I am absolutely killing Brian
- 2:38:31Cashman and reaching out to Gary, Gary Phillips and telling
- 2:38:35him to post this crap and post that crap because as a Yankee
- 2:38:38fan, I'm pissed off on this take.
- 2:38:41I and I, I know Yankee fans like Jason Dominguez.
- 2:38:43What do you like about him? What is the thing that sticks
- 2:38:47out about Jason Dominguez that you have this love fetish for
- 2:38:51him? What is his numbers?
- 2:38:53What has been his numbers in the 2 1/2 years he's been in the
- 2:38:56league? Please give me his numbers
- 2:38:58because to me, there is nothing. I watched the Yankees
- 2:39:01religiously. I go to Yankee games this past
- 2:39:03year. I didn't, but I usually go to 5
- 2:39:05to 6 Yankee games. I, I watch them, I, I understand
- 2:39:09what it takes to be a star in this league.
- 2:39:11I don't care if he's a switch hitter.
- 2:39:12I to me it means nothing. I, and again, he, he hits well
- 2:39:17against the Boston Red Sox, he hits well against Houston, and
- 2:39:19then he hits really bad against Kansas City.
- 2:39:22He hits really bad against the teams that he should be hitting
- 2:39:24against. What is his number 248 for his
- 2:39:27career? He's got 16 home runs 58 and how
- 2:39:30many years? About 3.
- 2:39:32He came up late. He.
- 2:39:32Came up actually more like 2. How many RBIs he came up 58 He
- 2:39:36it's actually. More like 2.
- 2:39:37Years. He came up late in 20, three, 2
- 2:39:391/2 years, yeah. Sixteen home runs, 58 RBIs, 327
- 2:39:42on base percentage and 29 steals.
- 2:39:44And what did he do in what? Did he do in AAA?
- 2:39:47Bring up his AAA numbers and compare him to Spencer Jones.
- 2:39:51Because I'm going to tell you this right now, his numbers are
- 2:39:53nowhere close to Spencer Jones. But Errol, the point is like he
- 2:39:56doesn't really in. AAA because.
- 2:39:58He was fast tracked as a kid. Oh, he's 19 years old.
- 2:40:01He was he. Was in trouble.
- 2:40:02He was in AAA. He was, he was.
- 2:40:05There is a 20 year old Darrell like look at this.
- 2:40:08Look at his age 20/21/22 He was a rookie last.
- 2:40:11Year. I know how old he is, yeah.
- 2:40:13227447 home runs, 189 RBIs, 102 steals.
- 2:40:18And it's all Korean. How many?
- 2:40:20In 4 minor league seasons, that's not good.
- 2:40:22In 4 minor leagues, that's not good, guys.
- 2:40:24That's not good. All right, look.
- 2:40:26He hasn't done. It yet but you know, look.
- 2:40:29He's. Are you?
- 2:40:30Selling me? Are you selling me Jason
- 2:40:32Dominguez? Over Spencer Jones,
- 2:40:33theoretically if you're over 700 OPS at age of 22.
- 2:40:37You're very good, you're going to be a very good player and
- 2:40:40that's. How it is and they're they're
- 2:40:41always going to do this because they have more controllable
- 2:40:44years Errol of a young guy than a guy like Spencer Jones.
- 2:40:47They just do. So why would you get rid of
- 2:40:50Dominguez when you can control him longer, pay him less, and
- 2:40:54then you could trade Jones and get just as much for him as you
- 2:40:57can for Dominguez? All right, so I'm going to tell
- 2:40:59you this. I'm going to tell you this
- 2:41:00because I I'm going to prove you to be wrong on this one.
- 2:41:03If the Yankees trade. Spencer Jones and he turns into
- 2:41:06a star. I'm going to come back and I'm
- 2:41:08going to tell all you guys, all the people that think that Jason
- 2:41:11Dominguez is anything special. And I'm going to say you guys
- 2:41:14are idiots because I'm telling you right now, Jason Dominguez
- 2:41:18is not better than Spencer Jones.
- 2:41:20I'm telling you right now, he's not.
- 2:41:21I've watched enough of Jason Dominguez and here's another
- 2:41:24thing. Jason Dominguez never stays
- 2:41:26healthy. He doesn't stay healthy.
- 2:41:30I'm taking the guy that has a unique bodybuild, 6 foot 8 and
- 2:41:34that's naturally what people are looking at now.
- 2:41:37Look at the kid that's right now playing for the Nationals.
- 2:41:39Look at the his body structure and what he is as a player, 6
- 2:41:43foot 8 power hitter. And he came up we, we see what
- 2:41:47he is in the in the major major leagues right now in the MLB.
- 2:41:50I'm telling you right now, this is this is horrible.
- 2:41:52I, I, I, I would if I was running this team or if I'm the,
- 2:41:57if I was owning the team, I'd fire Brian Cashman for just give
- 2:42:00me that. Giving that take to Gary
- 2:42:02Phillips. It's a horrible take and and to
- 2:42:05me seeing what Spencer Jones did this year and looking at his
- 2:42:09numbers and comparing them to Jason Dominguez in his time over
- 2:42:13there in the minors, I am taking Spencer Jones in a heartbeat
- 2:42:18over Jason Speed. Am I wrong am I wrong?
- 2:42:20I like his raw power with Jones and it's hard to find with a
- 2:42:22lefty too, so I'm willing to give him a chance as well.
- 2:42:26You block him. You.
- 2:42:27Block him for the garbage that you have.
- 2:42:29The blocking is so dumb, but that's but that's Cashman for
- 2:42:32you. He's still.
- 2:42:32There, after that many years, no, no one else stays.
- 2:42:35With a job that long in Major League sports and it's still
- 2:42:39good. And what if you're if you're
- 2:42:40Spencer Jones right now, how would you feel seeing Brian
- 2:42:45Cashman your GM? Come out and say that he's
- 2:42:47blocked because of a journeyman that you brought in and Grisham,
- 2:42:52who nobody gives a crap about, Yankee fans could care less
- 2:42:55about and Jason Dominguez, who can't stay on a baseball field.
- 2:43:00Great, great take I, I, I love you.
- 2:43:04I love you. Thank you, Brian, for making me
- 2:43:06even more sicker to my stomach. It it's horrible.
- 2:43:09It's a horrible take. And I think the Yankees are
- 2:43:11making a terrible, terrible mistake.
- 2:43:14All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this Speedy's 6 Pack of
- 2:43:18the Week. Let's have a sixer.
- 2:43:21Hey, who wants to play? Drink the beer.
- 2:43:23It's. Time for the Speedy 6 pack of
- 2:43:25the week. This On a side note, you do.
- 2:43:30Have 7 beers in that photo. Yeah, one, one for extra
- 2:43:34emphasis, Speedy. The six pack coming at you
- 2:43:38speedy we're. Going to go to.
- 2:43:39Milan, give us 65 and four. I'm going to busy on for you
- 2:43:45right now because this is the Olympic edition of the six pack.
- 2:43:49I guess there's 5 Olympic. Rings so it does average out.
- 2:43:51So 12 / 2 is 6. I guess it all works out all
- 2:43:54right. So the first three are all
- 2:43:55hockey. Well, we'll start with.
- 2:43:56The US and Canada, they both finish in a #1 and #2 in Olympic
- 2:43:59group play record as well for Conor McDavid, 9 points already,
- 2:44:04which is already the Olympic record, not even including the
- 2:44:07knockout stages, breaking Sydney's Sidney Crosby's record
- 2:44:09in Vancouver and Austin Matthews leading the way for the United
- 2:44:12States with the last game with the two goals in that one.
- 2:44:15So that's the that's the first time finally scoring goals
- 2:44:18finally. So that's number six, number
- 2:44:19five, as is the women. They're both dominant as well,
- 2:44:22both of them finishing undefeated.
- 2:44:23USAA. 31 to one goal differential in that one and
- 2:44:28five straight shutout clue for goalie Aaron Frankel and US five
- 2:44:32different players with seven or more points.
- 2:44:34Caroline Harvey leading the way with 9.
- 2:44:35And then the one you brought to me Fish at #4 The only
- 2:44:39unfortunate injury with coming with NHL players playing in the
- 2:44:42United States. Kevin Fiala will likely be out
- 2:44:44for the season. The after the Kings just trade
- 2:44:46for Artemi Panera and one of their other top scorers is out
- 2:44:49for the year playing for for team Switzerland suffered a very
- 2:44:53gruesome leg injury. So he will be out the rest of
- 2:44:55the season unfortunately. Tom Wilson, shocker causing an
- 2:45:00injury. Errol, what do you got?
- 2:45:04On Fiala. Getting going down with that
- 2:45:07injury. In the Olympics, which one?
- 2:45:10What are we talking? The Kings?
- 2:45:13The Kings forward #2 scorer on the team.
- 2:45:16Before they got Pinaron, OH. Man, I don't know.
- 2:45:21You hope nobody gets hurt in the Olympics.
- 2:45:23You don't. Want to see somebody get hurt in
- 2:45:25the Olympics? And you lose him for the NHL
- 2:45:27season. So I don't know, man, yet, you
- 2:45:32know, we saw this, we're seeing this in baseball with like the
- 2:45:35WBC. They're not letting people
- 2:45:37compete. In it for the insurance, it's
- 2:45:40kind of curious how hockey they don't have to worry about the
- 2:45:42same things because you would imagine it's a lot more
- 2:45:44dangerous to play hockey than it is to play baseball.
- 2:45:47You don't want to see, you don't want to see somebody go down and
- 2:45:50they're they're playing for their country and they're not,
- 2:45:53they're doing for. Just to to, to see your stars
- 2:45:57and stripes or whatever your flag get raised up if you win
- 2:46:00this Olympic. And I know winning a gold medal
- 2:46:03is special. Winning any kind of medal is
- 2:46:05special. But you're playing for an
- 2:46:08organization that's paying you millions and millions of dollars
- 2:46:10and you go down and you could be out a significant amount of time
- 2:46:13that could cost your team making the playoffs or cost your team
- 2:46:17even losing in the playoffs or not even getting an opportunity
- 2:46:21to compete in the playoffs. That's, that's a bad sign.
- 2:46:24It's a horrible thing to say. Fish.
- 2:46:26I I also saw something too. I think there were a lot of,
- 2:46:28there were only like 4 total Olympic athletes that combined
- 2:46:31with their earnings and their insurance and everything
- 2:46:33they're. Getting or making over
- 2:46:34$1,000,000 and only one of them was American so it definitely
- 2:46:37had bad bad luck for the the IOC to have to fix as well.
- 2:46:40They've been pretty corrupt for a while.
- 2:46:42We've had issues with FIFA in the past, but they're not
- 2:46:44definitely not helping the cause either.
- 2:46:47All right Speedy, give us 3 and #3 and #2.
- 2:46:49All right, so #3 I'm going to keep it individually because the
- 2:46:51last two are the same sport and figure.
- 2:46:53Skating. So I'm going to go to Michaela
- 2:46:55Schifrin the most. Well-rounded Olympian ever when
- 2:46:59it comes to downhill skiing. 15 World Championships, tied for
- 2:47:01the most for USA gold medals with four or total medals with
- 2:47:03four, but has not meddled yet so far in these games. 30 years
- 2:47:07old. We talked about with Lindsey
- 2:47:08Vonn last week. Is there going to be a bit of a
- 2:47:10decline? She has one event left.
- 2:47:12She'll win, she'll win. You have to believe she's going
- 2:47:16to win one of these, one of these events.
- 2:47:18And she's going to get that. Gold medal, she's one of the
- 2:47:21best skiers to ever come out of here and, and she's I, I
- 2:47:24remember 4 years ago what, what she did four years ago and
- 2:47:27winning all those medals. So I expect her to find a way
- 2:47:30and get that gold medal and she's got one more opportunity
- 2:47:33to do that. I think she's going to get it.
- 2:47:35Yeah, she just broke a record too last year as well at the
- 2:47:37World Championships and this was coming off at 2024.
- 2:47:39She had that bad injury and she won even two more.
- 2:47:42World Championships than that I kind of anyone kind of with you
- 2:47:44on that fish. Any thoughts before we move on
- 2:47:46to the figure skating? No, all I know is that I can't
- 2:47:50ski. For my life.
- 2:47:51Every time I watch them do it, I'm amazed that they.
- 2:47:54Don't get seriously injured. And then when they do get
- 2:47:56seriously injured, like we saw with Lindsey Vonn last week, I
- 2:47:59just go, yeah, that's why I'm never going to do that one.
- 2:48:02All right, so the last, the last two, number two and #1 are both
- 2:48:04in figure skating for completely different purposes.
- 2:48:06Errol and I watched it on Friday.
- 2:48:08The quad God after powering his way for the US to win gold
- 2:48:12teams, then he has does not do as well in the individual
- 2:48:15finishing in eighth had one really bad fall.
- 2:48:16He had one really bad jump even in the beginning of that.
- 2:48:19And so he does not meddle. Disappointing.
- 2:48:21They're at #2 and the number one is the biggest story Errol and I
- 2:48:23was talking about on Friday to the potential scandal that could
- 2:48:27be involved in the the pair's event with with Matt scandal.
- 2:48:31You know, it's a scandal. Oh yeah.
- 2:48:33Madison Chalk and Evan Bates potentially robbed.
- 2:48:36So I'll put it bring up some numbers for this.
- 2:48:38For the so the French judge. That were involved was involved
- 2:48:40in this 7.71 points higher for the French, which no other
- 2:48:47track, no other judge had more than three at any difference in
- 2:48:50the differential. 5 out of nine preferred the US over the
- 2:48:54France. This judge.
- 2:48:55By the way, Jezebel Dubois has also done French, not the
- 2:48:58France. The French have also done this
- 2:49:00French five other international events, according to the site.
- 2:49:04Roll it off the tongue. Roll it.
- 2:49:05Off the tongue skating scores the French.
- 2:49:09Roll it off the top the French. So.
- 2:49:13A lot of a lot of scandalous. Stuff going on in the world of
- 2:49:16figure skating there so. Thoughts on those?
- 2:49:182 with the. Quad God.
- 2:49:19And then with the scandal, I'm going to tell you this right
- 2:49:21now. That was horrible.
- 2:49:23And, and, and the kids 21 years old.
- 2:49:25He believes he's going to be in at least two more Olympics.
- 2:49:27Maybe 3. He wants to compete as long as
- 2:49:30he possibly can and win as many medals as he possibly can.
- 2:49:34But he came out a gold winner really early in the Olympics
- 2:49:38with the team and he, he got a gold medal and he wasn't even
- 2:49:41going to do the, the final, you know, his final program.
- 2:49:44But they needed him to do that for them to win the gold medal.
- 2:49:47And he did that and they won the gold medal and then just
- 2:49:49completely come up short. I mean, really short in 8th
- 2:49:52place didn't even win a bronze. He was expected to win the gold.
- 2:49:55He's the best skater to come out, not only in the United
- 2:50:00States in the world. He's he, he does like 7 quads in
- 2:50:04his long program and he fell twice.
- 2:50:06It was horrible to watch. I, I got to give the kid a lot
- 2:50:09of credit, even after all, after everything that happened to go
- 2:50:12over there and speak to the broadcaster, the anchor and give
- 2:50:16him his take and say that it just this, you know, I've, I've
- 2:50:19done it in so many places. I've done it in front of so many
- 2:50:21people. But the Olympics are different.
- 2:50:23And I choked and I'll be back in four years and I'm going to fix,
- 2:50:27I'm going to fix what I, what I done.
- 2:50:29So I it was good to hear as far as the, the ice dancing, that
- 2:50:34was horrible, horrible. And I not only I feel bad for
- 2:50:39the. The Americans.
- 2:50:41Because this was their final Olympics, this was their chance
- 2:50:44to win gold and bring gold home again, and now they end their
- 2:50:47careers with a silver win. They had by far the hardest
- 2:50:50program out of all the teams that were competing by by a long
- 2:50:54margin. And to see them get screwed by
- 2:50:57the French, why am I not surprised?
- 2:51:00Why am I not surprised? One more bonus nugget on that
- 2:51:05too. There's been since 2002 eight
- 2:51:08other rulings like that of by in.
- 2:51:10Scoring three of them were by French judges as well, so they
- 2:51:13even have a history even before this guy too of manipulating.
- 2:51:16Apparently there's also a Spanish judge that's also under
- 2:51:19a similar investigation too for rigging some of the scores
- 2:51:22against the US as well. Obviously their skater.
- 2:51:24I just wasn't even competing in that too.
- 2:51:26So a lot of fishy stuff bark there, bark, bark.
- 2:51:29So historically, like it always was, like the French figure
- 2:51:33skating judge was going to screw.
- 2:51:34You like that was the thing I. Remember when I was growing up,
- 2:51:37my mother would always be like, oh, the French watch out, the
- 2:51:39French judge is coming for us. Or be like the Soviet judge
- 2:51:42because you know, the Soviets back in the Cold War days, we're
- 2:51:45going to try to to lean it out towards them.
- 2:51:47I think one of those guys got suspended for life too, Like I'm
- 2:51:50sure they did. And you know, I'm like, Russia
- 2:51:52was banned for years and stuff, so.
- 2:51:54Like obviously these things happen.
- 2:51:57And they obviously got screwed. Everyone knows they got screwed.
- 2:51:59They're not fighting it though, Errol, they decided not to fight
- 2:52:02it. They're just going to say we
- 2:52:04know we won. Whatever it is what it is.
- 2:52:06You got to give them credit. As far as the the Ilya Milanin
- 2:52:10kid, I saw that first skate where he clinched the gold for
- 2:52:13USA and. The team.
- 2:52:14Won. He did this like front flip.
- 2:52:16I've never seen anyone do that on skates before.
- 2:52:19It was like A1 legged, like forwards flip.
- 2:52:21Like I couldn't even describe it to you.
- 2:52:23I just know I'd never seen anyone do that before, not in a
- 2:52:26program. But after they retire and they,
- 2:52:28they do these like dance, you know, these dance things with
- 2:52:31Disney. And stuff like that.
- 2:52:32I've seen a lot of you know, ex, you know, skaters do it, but
- 2:52:36I've never seen it in competition.
- 2:52:38So it was pretty he just like threw it in after a bunch of
- 2:52:41like crazy ass moves. So like power to that guy.
- 2:52:43I hope we'll see him next time in a few.
- 2:52:46Years getting those championships and that's the six
- 2:52:49pack for this week. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:52:52when we come back, we got in like fill.
- 2:52:54In and. We have savior tears the NBA.
- 2:52:57Portion draft, whatever you want to call it and dial it up.
- 2:53:00But another sports minute with fish.
- 2:53:02This is the Jabba and the Mouth sportsman ads.
- 2:53:09All right, guys give you a quick sports.
- 2:53:10Minute got a couple. Of stories for you then we'll go
- 2:53:12through the scores and then get back to the show into.
- 2:53:15ESP NS. Adam Schefter on Sunday was news
- 2:53:18that Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks have found their next
- 2:53:21offensive coordinator and former 49ers assistant coach Brian
- 2:53:25Flurry. Flurry with San Francisco's
- 2:53:28tight ends coach and run game coordinator in 2025 and has been
- 2:53:31with the Kyle Shanahan franchise since 2019 in various roles.
- 2:53:36This ends a quick search by the Seahawks that include to the
- 2:53:39internal candidates but ended up going with an outside choice in
- 2:53:42Flurry to replace the outgoing Clint Kubiak who parlayed his
- 2:53:46success this year into becoming the new head coach of the Las
- 2:53:49Vegas Raiders. It is thought that Flurry will
- 2:53:51run a similar system to Kubiak as they are both from the
- 2:53:55Shanahan West Coast style of offense which was a goal of
- 2:53:58McDonald in his coaching search. With those familiar with the
- 2:54:00hiring process, the Seahawks will now look to repeat as
- 2:54:04champions with a young squad that should have almost all
- 2:54:07their major pieces back next season.
- 2:54:09And in what is perhaps a sign of the times, Kansas State fired
- 2:54:13their head coach Jerome Tang. Now Kansas State has struggled
- 2:54:16this year and hasn't been to dance in a few seasons, but that
- 2:54:19is not the reason Tang was fired.
- 2:54:21Tang made himself viral last week after blasting his own
- 2:54:24players in what has turned out to be a self defeating tirade
- 2:54:27for the now former coach of the Wildcats.
- 2:54:29These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform.
- 2:54:33There will be very few of them in it next year, he added.
- 2:54:36They don't love this place, so they don't deserve to be here.
- 2:54:40He cut his press conference short, taking only a couple of
- 2:54:42questions, according to Awful Announcings Sam Newman.
- 2:54:45This type of tough talk coaching kind of comes up, kind of rubs
- 2:54:51against people in today's game, the way the college game is, the
- 2:54:54way the kids are, especially with the transfer portal going
- 2:54:57from school to school. Apparently guys like Tang are
- 2:54:59really just victims of the changes of the game because you
- 2:55:03can't coach kids tough anymore. Well, I'm part of the
- 2:55:05interruption. Wilbon and Kornheiser also
- 2:55:08killed Tang, and apparently that is part of what the school is
- 2:55:12now using to try to not pay Tang any of his buyout.
- 2:55:17So of course the school is trying to get out of this.
- 2:55:19Whether you agree with Coach Tang's tirade or not, him giving
- 2:55:23a tirade might not have been embarrassment to the university
- 2:55:27enough to get out of the $18.67 million buyout at stake here.
- 2:55:33And Tang's legal representation has already made it clear that
- 2:55:36it won't be. We are streaming live on TikTok,

- 2:56:44now. I'll start with you.
- 2:56:48You're listening to Jabba and the Mouth.
- 2:56:52My name is. Errol Marx there's.
- 2:56:53No, Jabba tonight. He's in Kansas City hanging out.
- 2:56:57Well, he's not hanging out. He's he's supporting his son
- 2:56:59who's pitching tonight by getting a chance to show
- 2:57:03everybody why he's one of the best young talented pitchers out
- 2:57:06there. Could be a first.
- 2:57:08I don't know about first round. I don't know.
- 2:57:09But he is going to be possibly a Division One pitcher.
- 2:57:14So we're we're rooting for Cart. We're expecting Cart to get out
- 2:57:17there and then do what he does best and that's completely
- 2:57:20dominate. So shout out to the old Cartster
- 2:57:23as we all are rooting for him and shooting the gun, shooting
- 2:57:27the gun with a man. Well, do I sound like Elvis
- 2:57:32Presley? Well there you go, that was
- 2:57:35pretty good. Remember, you can go to our
- 2:57:36website at www.worldwidesportsradio.com.
- 2:57:40Check out all our shows throughout the week, including
- 2:57:44Jabba and the Mouth, every single Mondays and Thursdays at
- 2:57:486:45 PM. All you got to do, ladies and
- 2:57:52gentlemen, is go to our website at
- 2:57:54www.worldwidesportsradio.ecom. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
- 2:58:00to the one we call Dylan Lauby for joining us.
- 2:58:03He was fantastic, gave us his good takes.
- 2:58:07We found out he's a Giant fan. So it's it's like all you 3
- 2:58:12jackasses on this show. You love the Giants.
- 2:58:15Anyways, yeah, and thank you to him and it's been a great one.
- 2:58:18We wish Jabba was here. Shout out to the chambers as
- 2:58:21they're landing away. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:58:24we call this in like Flint. Welcome to go, my lady.
- 2:58:28I've often heard that you'd give me a warm welcome if ever we met
- 2:58:30again. In like flan flan flan.
- 2:58:37So we went to the break and I was thinking, ladies and
- 2:58:40gentlemen, where do I? Go with in like Flint today my
- 2:58:43list. And I asked speedy, I said, did
- 2:58:46we ever go the greatest Yankees of all time Yankee fans?
- 2:58:51That's what we're doing. We just talked about Brino.
- 2:58:55We're definitely not putting Brian Cashman as a top ten
- 2:58:58anything of all time after what we just heard Spencer Jones
- 2:59:02being blocked. So I'm not giving him that
- 2:59:06anyways. So I I was looking at different,
- 2:59:10different ratings. And.
- 2:59:12And, and different charts and, and where the way they set this
- 2:59:15up, I, I picked yardbarker.com. They seem like a very popular
- 2:59:21company of popular website. So they have their top 25
- 2:59:26Yankees of all time. So at #10 they have Red Ruffing.
- 2:59:32Now I was not alive when Red Ruffing was playing, but Once
- 2:59:35Upon a time there was a pitcher who began his career with the
- 2:59:39Red Sox, another Yankee, and was traded to the New York Yankees.
- 2:59:42Then a few years after that, it was Baby Ruth, Red Roofing.
- 2:59:48You know, he's a very good player, very good pitcher, very
- 2:59:51impressive pitcher. Average about 6 1/2 strikeouts a
- 2:59:54game. They put him at #10 What are
- 2:59:57they on drugs? I am putting at #10 for the New
- 3:00:00York Yankees, and I don't care what anybody says at #10 I'm
- 3:00:05putting Bernie Williams. Bernie Williams was a great
- 3:00:08clutch hitter. Right.
- 3:00:10Really one of the best hitters in history in the playoffs.
- 3:00:13And when you look at players and you look at consistency, this
- 3:00:17man was as consistent as anybody.
- 3:00:19This guy was a great center fielder.
- 3:00:21He was a Yankee for life. He never went anywhere else.
- 3:00:24Red Roofing wasn't even a Yankee his whole career.
- 3:00:27He was a Red Sox. So I'm going at #10 the 1:00 we
- 3:00:32call Bernie at #9 they've got Alex Rodriguez.
- 3:00:37You put Alex Rodriguez at 9:00, one of the greatest hitters of
- 3:00:41all time. That's where you put Alex
- 3:00:42Rodriguez. You're on drugs.
- 3:00:44I don't put Alex there. So you know where I put at #9
- 3:00:49I'm going to put at #9 the 1:00. We call Whitey Whitey Ford at
- 3:00:56number 91 of the greatest pitchers the Yankees have ever
- 3:00:59had. Some people say that he was the
- 3:01:01chairman of the board. My grandfather hit two home runs
- 3:01:03against Whitey Ford. He was a great, great pitcher,
- 3:01:06stood out and was really a Yankee his whole career.
- 3:01:10He was a Yankee his whole career.
- 3:01:12And, and you could argue he was the greatest Yankee pitcher of
- 3:01:15all time. So I'm going to put at #9 the
- 3:01:19White Star, Whitey Ford, at #8 they got Mariano Rivera.
- 3:01:25Come on, dude, what do you these guys are nuts.
- 3:01:28So at number. 8. I'm putting Derek Jeter.
- 3:01:35Derek Jeter is a great shortstop, one of the greatest
- 3:01:37shortstops of all time. I know a lot of Yankee fans
- 3:01:40would disagree with me, but the one thing about Derek Jeter is
- 3:01:43there were a lot of great players in front of him that I
- 3:01:46would take over him. He was a long lasting Yankee, no
- 3:01:49question. Special at in his own right.
- 3:01:52And and again, the best shortstop to ever play for the
- 3:01:55New York Yankees. I mean, Willie Randos was pretty
- 3:01:57good too. So, but I'm going to go Derek
- 3:02:01Jeter at 8 at #7 they had the white stir Whitey Ford.
- 3:02:08I completely disagree. At #7 I'm going to put the
- 3:02:13Yokster Yogi Berra at #7 one of the greatest accomplished
- 3:02:18catchers to ever play the game. Definitely one of the greatest
- 3:02:22winners. I mean, he's won how many rings,
- 3:02:2411? I mean, this guy has a ring for
- 3:02:26every other finger, and I mean every finger and an extra 1.
- 3:02:30I mean the great. He was a great consistent
- 3:02:32catcher. I hit in the clutch and, and
- 3:02:35obviously play for all those great Yankee teams with Mickey
- 3:02:38Mantle and and all the talented players that they had.
- 3:02:41So I put him at #7 At number six, they have Yogi Berra.
- 3:02:46At number six. I have Mariano Rivera, the
- 3:02:51greatest closer to ever pitch by far.
- 3:02:54I don't think there's any comparison.
- 3:02:56I mean, he was lights out. He was almost perfect.
- 3:02:58His ERA in the playoffs was like a 0.62 or some crazy number like
- 3:03:04that. The guy was a part of all those
- 3:03:06great championships and really stood for one of the nicest, one
- 3:03:12of the more kindest personalities on and off the
- 3:03:15field. So at #6 Mariano Rivera, at #5
- 3:03:20they got Derek Jeter begged to differ on that, ladies and
- 3:03:23gentlemen. At #5 And I know people are
- 3:03:26going to think I'm crazy. Thurman Munson #5 I believe the
- 3:03:32greatest catcher, the greatest catcher of the the 70s and 80s
- 3:03:38didn't have a obviously didn't play as long as we expected
- 3:03:41because he passed away in a plane accident.
- 3:03:43This guy could have gone down as maybe the greatest catcher of
- 3:03:47all time. Power numbers, great leader,
- 3:03:50mean and and he stood for everything for the New York
- 3:03:53Yankees. So I #5 the therm baby Thurman
- 3:03:57Munson at #4 they got Joe DI disagree, ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:04:05at #4 I actually, no, I'm, I'm at #4 I have Lou Gehrig the, the
- 3:04:15man they called the horse the everything.
- 3:04:18And, and by the way, the Iron horse who had played 3000 games
- 3:04:22in a row played, played consistent, one of the most
- 3:04:26consistent hitters played with Babe Ruth.
- 3:04:28Those teams were sensational. One of the nicest people, one of
- 3:04:33the, one of the guys that stood out when you wanted to be like
- 3:04:36or compared to like somebody. It was Lou Gehrig.
- 3:04:39And Lou Gehrig was the iron horse and eventually built a
- 3:04:43very good relationship with Babe Ruth.
- 3:04:45So I would put Louie Lou over there at 4:00 at #3 Ladies and
- 3:04:52gentlemen, I am going to go with the one we call DiMaggio.
- 3:04:57They had Mickey Mantle. I disagree with him.
- 3:04:59Joe DiMaggio, 56 game hitting streak, probably will never be
- 3:05:03broken. It's come close, but never been
- 3:05:06broken. This guy was an MVP, three time
- 3:05:08MVP slugging, one of the best sluggers and at the prime of his
- 3:05:13career, one of the best leaders obviously was married to Marilyn
- 3:05:18Monroe, fought for our country, was a big face and and really
- 3:05:23was the face of the New York Yankees in the, you know, after
- 3:05:27the Babe Ruth era. So Joe D at #3 at #2 the 1:00 we
- 3:05:34call the Mick, I think one of the best power switch hitted
- 3:05:39hitters of all time might have gone down as the greatest player
- 3:05:43of all time if he didn't have the injuries, the drinking
- 3:05:45problems and all the things that he did on and off the field.
- 3:05:48This guy was defensively one of the greatest center fielders.
- 3:05:52People forget that at the tail end of his career he played
- 3:05:54first base. But as a center fielder, this
- 3:05:57guy can go after a ball better than anybody we've ever seen.
- 3:06:01Speed 5 tool player. I don't think he could be
- 3:06:04matched with as far as five tool players the Yankees have played
- 3:06:07for. This guy is the best.
- 3:06:10And by the way, I didn't put Alex Rodriguez in here.
- 3:06:13So I feel bad because I think Alex Rodriguez is definitely in
- 3:06:16there, but I'm going to have Alex Rodriguez fall out of this
- 3:06:19because I just didn't put him there.
- 3:06:23So it's like it like Flynn with an honorable mention.
- 3:06:26Honestly, I would put I would put Alex Rodriguez with Derek
- 3:06:29Jeter tied in. Tied Where did I put Derek 7?
- 3:06:337-8, I believe. Yeah.
- 3:06:34I put Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter in the same spot.
- 3:06:37Honestly. I mean, I don't want to.
- 3:06:39Piss off Yankee fan. So if you would ask me right
- 3:06:42now, Alex Rodriguez would be in my top three.
- 3:06:44I put Don Mattingly in my top ten if it really was up to me.
- 3:06:48But honestly, Don Mattingly in anybody else's eyes would
- 3:06:52probably not be a top five like so many other teams.
- 3:06:55But it sucks. But Mickey Mantle, my number 2
- 3:06:58and a #1, the greatest baseball. Player of All.
- 3:07:01Time Greatest pitcher, Greatest hitter, I don't care what
- 3:07:05everybody's trying to compare him to Otani, to him this guy is
- 3:07:09the greatest, one of the best power hitters, the best power
- 3:07:13hitter of all time and everybody was chasing and that's Babe
- 3:07:16Ruth, Baby Ruth, the greatest Yankee, the House that Ruth
- 3:07:20built. He stood for everything.
- 3:07:22When he was traded to the New York Yankees for money,
- 3:07:24$100,000, it was one of the worst trades in Major League
- 3:07:28history with the Bambino curse started with the Red Sox.
- 3:07:31They didn't win a championship for almost 80 something years
- 3:07:35before they won a championship. He stood for everything as as
- 3:07:38far as a Yankee and and really the face, the Bambino, the the
- 3:07:43power that this guy really delivered.
- 3:07:46And a lot of people wouldn't say this, but I don't think they'll
- 3:07:50if, if Babe Ruth was playing in this day and age with all the
- 3:07:54training on, all the opportunities to build his body,
- 3:07:57Babe Ruth might be the greatest power hitter we'll ever see.
- 3:08:00I think he hits a home run, a hundred home runs in the season.
- 3:08:03And the way the game is played now with the balls in the short,
- 3:08:05short porches, I mean, the guy played with the heaviest bat
- 3:08:09and, and the fastest swing, the by far the best player to ever
- 3:08:13play the game. So Babe Ruth would go 1.
- 3:08:15So at one Babe Ruth at 2 the Mick, at 3:00 the one we call Di
- 3:08:22Maggio, and at for Lou Gehrig the Iron Horse.
- 3:08:27So there you go ladies and gentlemen, that would be my list
- 3:08:30of greatest Yankees of all time. All right, Errol, you know what
- 3:08:34time it is. Round two of the NBA mid season
- 3:08:38Classic. All right, so I have it up here.
- 3:08:41We're going to go in reverse order for this round.

- 3:14:50Chet home grin. Still available I think.
- 3:14:52And no, someone took home Gran. I think someone took home Gran.
- 3:14:55So someone took Chet, so then zubotch.
- 3:14:57Is available and so bonus is available, but they're.
- 3:14:59Both kind of banged up. All those guys are banged up.
- 3:15:03Just give me actually Zion's there.
- 3:15:05Just give me Jalen Suggs. Zion, We'll say Zion for nifty.
- 3:15:09They both love. They both love their adult
- 3:15:11films. One or two Tommy.
- 3:15:13For sucks, put him as. MY1 all right.

- 3:15:26Yep. Brandon Miller.
- 3:15:29At the three for Speedy, that goes back to me.
- 3:15:32Kind of stole my Thunder a little bit on that one.
- 3:15:37Man. I don't trust this guy at all
- 3:15:41rest of the season. I guess they're going to be in
- 3:15:45playoff contention. All right, give.
- 3:15:47Me a bead. I hate that asshole though.
- 3:15:50All right, it's probably this is what I get.
- 3:15:53Errol, you need a 1-2 and A5. I'm going to I'm going to
- 3:15:58surprise a lot of people. Where's the ones?
- 3:16:00First of all, right here. And this is.
- 3:16:03For the rest of the season, where?
- 3:16:04They come back right correct rest of the season from.
- 3:16:07The start. Of when they come back from.
- 3:16:09All Star break to the rest of the starting to think to go
- 3:16:11after. Kyrie Irving, because he's
- 3:16:13coming back. He should be back on All Star
- 3:16:15Break. He's going to play a.
- 3:16:17Big part he says he'll be back after the All Star break.
- 3:16:21So here's Kyrie. They have him ranked pretty far
- 3:16:24down. What else is ahead of him?
- 3:16:28Yeah, that's because they have him ranked because he's not
- 3:16:30playing right now, but yeah. I think it's one of those.
- 3:16:33They don't know just. How soon he's coming back.
- 3:16:35So kind of a wild card, yeah. I I could always move Cooper
- 3:16:42flag to point guard too, so right?
- 3:16:45No, you can't. You can only do move it right
- 3:16:48now. You can't move it at any other
- 3:16:49time than just during the draft. But he.
- 3:16:52Placed all three positions right.
- 3:16:55I'm saying if you want to move them right now, you can and you
- 3:16:58take a three. Instead.
- 3:16:59All right, give me move Cooper flag to.
- 3:17:01Point because I don't know if I trust Kyrie Irving at any point
- 3:17:05I'm reading. Is this from the playoffs too?
- 3:17:08No, just regular season. So I'm not.
- 3:17:11I'm not going to make the playoffs anyway.
- 3:17:12Yeah, I'll move Cooper Flag there.
- 3:17:16Where's the? Three.
- 3:17:16All right, so you want to. Take a look at it, Reese.
- 3:17:17Yeah. All right, so we're about down.
- 3:17:20To yeah here, Porter. Junior's available, and then it
- 3:17:25goes all the way to Trey Murphy and Keyshawn George, Terry,
- 3:17:31Eason and Zion. Give me Porter, Junior.
- 3:17:34All right, you could. Put him at.
- 3:17:35The Well, you already have it before, so we're going to put
- 3:17:37him right there. Porter Junior.
- 3:17:39All right. And now.
- 3:17:40We go back. To the interns, let's bring in
- 3:17:44Zoot. Come on in, buddy, make a pick
- 3:17:47for job. He needs a 1/3 or four.

- 3:18:04We need to fill still point guard and power forward.

- 3:22:16talked about. Any true, true point guards?
- 3:22:21I mean, Kyrie Irving still there?
- 3:22:23That's what I'm thinking, right? Now that's what.

- 3:24:22Let's take Nikhil Alexander Walker.
- 3:24:25He's been good this year. Let's go to Speedy.
- 3:24:27I have the same way of thinking. I'm going to take black.
- 3:24:33All right, Black and then. Tommy, close out the draft, give
- 3:24:38me RJ. Barrett That's irrelevant.
- 3:24:41Nice. Nick's legend, all right.
- 3:24:46Let. Me.
- 3:24:47Stop the share. Bring up the screen.
- 3:24:49That shows the final. Rosters for the second part of
- 3:24:54the draft just show it to everybody real quick.
- 3:24:58Errol's team is Kyrie Cooper, Flag, Michael Porter junior
- 3:25:01Pascal Siaka, Miwika Zubach and Damonte Sabonis.
- 3:25:05Java's team is Lamella Ball, Kevin Porter junior Trey Murphy,
- 3:25:08The Third, Auster Thompson, Jaylen Duran and Zion
- 3:25:11Williamson. Speedy SD Aaron Fox, Tari Eason,
- 3:25:14Brandon Miller, Franz Wagner, Bam Ottaba You and Anthony
- 3:25:17Black. I have Darius Garland, Desmond
- 3:25:19Baine, K Sean George, Josh Hart, Joel Embiid and Nikhil
- 3:25:22Alexander. Walker, Tommy, Jalen Suggs, BJ
- 3:25:24Edgecomb, Brandon Ingram, Jay Ellen Williams, Rudy Gobert and
- 3:25:28Nick's legend are. I like my bench.
- 3:25:30I like my bench. So of your bench guys, whoever
- 3:25:33those better be, your bench or your starters, those are the
- 3:25:35points that'll matter. We'll keep track of this every
- 3:25:38week. In our new fantasy game, anyone?
- 3:25:42And by the way, I've read that Kyrie Irving could be back in
- 3:25:45the next two weeks, so. Good pick.
- 3:25:48Good. Pick the old Kyster.
- 3:25:52I'm I'm excited and they could make the playoffs.
- 3:25:54They really could, can't they? They could be a playoff team.
- 3:25:57I mean a playing team, playing team.
- 3:25:58Maybe they could play playing flag comes back and Kyrie Irving
- 3:26:02they absolutely could. And I I think Kyrie Irving's
- 3:26:05going to play a big point a part of that team in the second-half
- 3:26:07of the season. So we'll see what happens.
- 3:26:10I know I will say this. If you're if you're a Dallas
- 3:26:14fan, they're trying to get a top three pick.
- 3:26:16I don't think they're going to I don't I mean they they got lucky
- 3:26:20with Cooper flag. I don't know if they're going to
- 3:26:21get lucky with anybody else. But anyways, all right, ladies
- 3:26:24and gentlemen, we call this dial it up.
- 3:26:26We interrupt this regularly scheduled hot mix to bring your
- 3:26:29important news. We got a big broadcast to do
- 3:26:32here. We we're about.
- 3:26:33To dial it up, it was a shocking and wet experience.
- 3:26:40I was put out in left field 1. Welcome back to Dial It Up.
- 3:26:45Everyone's favorite lightning. Round sports segment Errol
- 3:26:48hasn't heard these stories. First one, Errol, the point God
- 3:26:52announces his retirement to 21 seasons.
- 3:26:56I guess in the middle of his 21 first season, nobody's picking
- 3:26:59him up. He got traded at the deadline,
- 3:27:01never had to report. Obviously not the same guy, 40
- 3:27:05years old. This is a guy who was, you know,
- 3:27:08they always said he was 6 foot. I don't think anyone really ever
- 3:27:11believed that the guy is one of the all time greatest
- 3:27:15overachievers for someone his size and one of the greatest
- 3:27:18point guards in the history of the NBA.
- 3:27:21Tell us a little bit about the point God when you dial it up,
- 3:27:25one of the greatest point guards of this era.
- 3:27:28I two way point guard can play could play on anybody.
- 3:27:32Defensively he he always was very good at stealing the ball.
- 3:27:35Great offensive guy that can pass the ball, shoot, do
- 3:27:39everything right. Unfortunately it didn't work
- 3:27:41out. He could have been traded to the
- 3:27:43Lakers. If he gets traded to the Lakers,
- 3:27:44he wins multiple championships. He's just had bad luck.
- 3:27:47Can't stay healthy for the playoffs.
- 3:27:49When he was finally healthy with Phoenix, they go to the finals
- 3:27:52and choke in the finals. This guy is the best losing
- 3:27:56point guard of all time. I'm talking about not winning a
- 3:27:58championship, but being an elite point guard, top five point
- 3:28:02guard in my book of all time. You want to tell me who I would
- 3:28:05take in front of Steph Curry in this era?
- 3:28:08I'm taking this guy two way, absolutely dominant force.
- 3:28:12When he was at the top of his game.
- 3:28:13I don't think there's anybody. Deron Williams was the only guy
- 3:28:17that was even close to him and he couldn't even compete,
- 3:28:19compete with Chris Paul. Just he does everything, passes,
- 3:28:23rebounds for his size and score. I I don't think I don't think
- 3:28:26it's any question he's a Hall of Famer.
- 3:28:28When I first started watching basketball I always idolized he
- 3:28:31was my favorite non Knicks player because of the steel
- 3:28:33streak he had for a while. 100. I believe it was 17 consecutive
- 3:28:36games he had a steal in because that was always my thing when I
- 3:28:39played basketball in middle school.
- 3:28:40I was always going to get stealing.
- 3:28:41Played basketball. I, I, I wasn't great, but I'd
- 3:28:43say I played in a rec league and I was always going to steal in
- 3:28:46the ball. So I always idolized him.
- 3:28:47When he was with the Hornets and then he got traded.
- 3:28:49To the Clippers, he got finally on a good team finally and then
- 3:28:52unfortunately, Rivers and as their coach and guys that
- 3:28:54couldn't shoot. So like you said, he was
- 3:28:56unlucky, very unlucky with injuries, but the the best
- 3:28:59defensive point guard in my lifetime.
- 3:29:01And like you said, one of the best error that deserves a lot
- 3:29:04more credit than he does. It's really unluckily all these
- 3:29:06naysayers. Oh, he hasn't win a
- 3:29:07championship. Well, yeah, he was not the he
- 3:29:09was not the problem of why they didn't win a championship.
- 3:29:11He played with James Harden. He played a lot of disappear in
- 3:29:13the playoffs and he got hurt a lot and it was just unfortunate.
- 3:29:16He's my favorite player that isn't a New York Knicks player
- 3:29:19in this generation generation of basketball.
- 3:29:21All right, let's get to the next story.
- 3:29:23It's a college basketball, college football story.
- 3:29:26Errol, I don't know if you. Caught any of the Ohio State
- 3:29:30basketball game? Because you don't need to.
- 3:29:32Because they're not very good. They're sitting on the bubble 16
- 3:29:35and 9. After yet another loss during
- 3:29:37the game, announcer Gus Johnson said, well, they're not good
- 3:29:41because Ohio State gave Ryan Day all the money, claiming that all
- 3:29:47of the funding for Ohio State athletics goes to the football
- 3:29:50team and not nearly enough of it goes to the pretty mediocre
- 3:29:56basketball product. Errol, do you blame them?
- 3:30:01I mean, Ohio State's one of the best football programs in the
- 3:30:05country. It's been that way since Day has
- 3:30:08been there. They're going to invest all
- 3:30:09their money or all their now yell money into the players that
- 3:30:12are going to win them championships.
- 3:30:14And Ohio State, when was the last time they won a basketball
- 3:30:17championship? I don't remember.
- 3:30:19So why are you going to take the money and invest the money into
- 3:30:22a program that's not any good? So I'm not going to argue with
- 3:30:26Gus. I'm not going to argue with him,
- 3:30:28but I'm not going to argue why the school people is investing
- 3:30:32in their more political sport, the best sport in their school
- 3:30:37history and that's the Buckeyes football program.
- 3:30:40Slam dunk. Gus is right, but who cares?
- 3:30:43Ohio State's a championship contending team contending team
- 3:30:47every year. So that's it.
- 3:30:49That's all I'm going to say sell that baby.
- 3:30:50I I think it's hilarious. It's obviously a true you know,
- 3:30:54Ohio State wants to compete at football.
- 3:30:56They have that, that's what. Drives the money to the school.
- 3:30:59People don't realize that there's, what, five times the
- 3:31:02amount of people can go to a football game compared to a
- 3:31:05college basketball game, right? And then how many more home
- 3:31:08games are they going to have? Probably like a half dozen to a
- 3:31:10dozen, somewhere in between. Just like you're not getting
- 3:31:14money, like the ratios don't work out.
- 3:31:16And then it's like the offseason stuff.
- 3:31:18You're still talking about. Football, when it's basketball
- 3:31:21season, if you're not going to spend on any talent, which they
- 3:31:24haven't, I mean, what they have like over the years was that D
- 3:31:28Angelo Russell's the best guy that came out of Ohio State.
- 3:31:31Him and Evan Turner, you know, like #2 picks.
- 3:31:35I think those are the highest that Greg Owen was #1 Pack and
- 3:31:37he busted in the NBA and slapped.
- 3:31:39That ass and Mike and. Mike Conley, right?
- 3:31:40I guess lasted the longest in the NBA out of all those.
- 3:31:43Guys, who was good player, right?
- 3:31:45Did I say your sex? Part, but that's just not like
- 3:31:48the same caliber as what they do in the at the top of the food
- 3:31:51chain there can't wait. Football sucks to be calling the
- 3:31:56game I guess for Gus Johnson when he knows the team stinks.
- 3:31:59Einhorn. Is a man.
- 3:32:00That's why he's supposed to do the Big East tournament.
- 3:32:03He should stay with the Big East.
- 3:32:04You're absolutely right. Let's move on, Michael.
- 3:32:06Is Einhorn and I'm going to bring in our intern to talk.
- 3:32:09About this one, Errol. It finally happened.
- 3:32:14His Airness is now the Roadmaster himself.
- 3:32:18Michael Jordan, his driver has won the Daytona 500.
- 3:32:25Tyler Reddick of Michael Jordans 23 XI race Racing wins the
- 3:32:30Daytona 500. You see the picture of Jordan
- 3:32:34hugging the trophy in a similar way that he hugged the trophy
- 3:32:38when he won his first title. Obviously the Great American
- 3:32:42race, which happened on Sunday first was it the 68th annual.
- 3:32:48Now Michael Jordan gets after suing, by the way, NASCAR and
- 3:32:52winning a lawsuit only about a month ago, He's able on his turn
- 3:32:5763 on Tuesday, His Airness gets a Daytona 500 ring for his
- 3:33:02birthday. He's gonna wear it, he said.
- 3:33:05I've told it to everybody on Victory Lane.
- 3:33:06It feels like I've won a championship.
- 3:33:08Until I get my ring, I won't even know.
- 3:33:11Obviously co-owner Denny Hamlin, there was a lot of racers they
- 3:33:15had on the team. They were in a lot of trouble
- 3:33:18before this race. I don't really know too much
- 3:33:21about NASCAR other than Michael Jordan was a basketball player.
- 3:33:25It's pretty impressive that after all of this time he's able
- 3:33:28to pivot and become a champion in something else.
- 3:33:31I will dial it up. The Joe Tona 500 is like the
- 3:33:34World Series of, you know, race one of the most important races
- 3:33:39of the year. And to see Reddick win and
- 3:33:42Michael Jordan win another championship?
- 3:33:44Not in basketball. This guy was AGM.
- 3:33:46This guy was an owner. This guy owns everything.
- 3:33:49This guy is one of the most successful basketball players,
- 3:33:52one of the most dominant athletes we've ever seen in any
- 3:33:55kind of era. And now he's a champion of the
- 3:33:59Daytona 500. It's a good story.
- 3:34:01I mean, Michael Jordan is a businessman.
- 3:34:03He knows how to invest his money invested in into Reddick.
- 3:34:06He invested into a very good car.
- 3:34:08And we'll see what Reddick does for the rest of the year.
- 3:34:10This is the beginning race of the season.
- 3:34:13It's always, it's always interesting to see who wins the
- 3:34:16first race. But how is he going to finish?
- 3:34:18We'll see. But congratulations to Michael
- 3:34:20Jordan. It's a great story.
- 3:34:21And Michael Jordan is a guy that obviously I couldn't stand as a
- 3:34:25basketball player, but I think he's one of the best
- 3:34:27entrepreneurs, penors we've seen in any kind of era.
- 3:34:30So congratulations to him. Think I'd, I'd like to piggyback
- 3:34:33off that. I think that was an incredible
- 3:34:35take in addition to being now a a Daytona 500.
- 3:34:38Champion Michael Jordan as a team owner and getting that 45
- 3:34:43across Victory Lane for the second time on a superspeedway
- 3:34:46in the past couple years. Tyler Reddick got really lucky
- 3:34:49and you kind of need to have that.
- 3:34:51He got lucky multiple times in the Daytona 500, the way that
- 3:34:54the cars are just so close together and and rely on the
- 3:34:58slipstream to not get caught back in in dirty air and rely on
- 3:35:04the draft need to be really close.
- 3:35:06There were a lot of really, really bad wrecks that Tyler
- 3:35:09Reddick found himself not in right there.
- 3:35:12He was leading in the closing laps, eventually end up ended up
- 3:35:16losing the lead and got it back after a wreck that he just shyly
- 3:35:20missed right in front of him. It was incredible for this group
- 3:35:242311 racing to have three all three of their charter cars in
- 3:35:29the top ten in the Great American Race.
- 3:35:31Tyler Reddick in first and the number 45 Riley Herbst in the
- 3:35:358th place position, which that isn't without controversy.
- 3:35:42Riley Herbst had pushed Tyler Reddick to the lead and then had
- 3:35:46pretty much taken out all of the cars behind him on accident in a
- 3:35:51in a hasty. So it was accident.
- 3:35:53And then Bubba Wallace in the 23 car finished in 10th place.
- 3:35:59So yeah, all. Three of those.
- 3:36:00Cars, I believe that's the first time that has ever happened
- 3:36:03where all three 2311 cars had made it into the top ten.
- 3:36:07Well, so incredible weekend for that group.
- 3:36:09I will say this number 45 was Michael Jordan's number when he
- 3:36:13came back, and #3 #23 was his number, his whole.
- 3:36:16Career so think about that 23 and 45 came in the top 10 spell
- 3:36:22that baby. What is where's the 11 come
- 3:36:24from? Is that the Danny Hamlin?
- 3:36:25Denny Hamlin does run the 11. They're partners.
- 3:36:28Alright, let's move on. Bad day He had a bad day, but
- 3:36:32the. Jordan Jordan gets to get his.
- 3:36:33Ring, I guess I'm sure we'll hear a little bit more about
- 3:36:36Michael. Jordan's car.
- 3:36:37Racing exploits in his yeah, let's talk about him as a player
- 3:36:41because former President Barack Obama got.
- 3:36:45Some. Shots in on one of my favorite
- 3:36:48targets of all time, Reggie Miller.
- 3:36:51Obama got pulled over to do a sideline interview by Reggie
- 3:36:55Miller in the middle of All Star weekend, I think.
- 3:36:57It was during one. Of the the preliminary games and
- 3:37:02he told them, you know, he asked him what his favorite part about
- 3:37:05the games back in the day and and he always said that, well, I
- 3:37:08really enjoyed when we beat your team.
- 3:37:10And when talking about a big Bulls fan, Obama famously is the
- 3:37:14biggest homework for Michael Jordan and then the 90s era
- 3:37:17Bulls. He still takes his shots.
- 3:37:20And Reggie Miller tried to play it off, but he did have to deal
- 3:37:24with it. I kind of really enjoyed that.
- 3:37:27Errol, I listen, I'm not a Reggie Miller fan.
- 3:37:32He came from the Pacers, who always for some.
- 3:37:35Reason was a thorn in the Knicks.
- 3:37:36His ass. For many, many years, no
- 3:37:38question that it was. But I'm going to tell you this
- 3:37:41for Barack Obama to attend to, to make a joke to Reggie Miller
- 3:37:45about the Bulls. Michael Jordan beat everybody.
- 3:37:48He beat the Knicks, he beat Utah, whoever he matched up
- 3:37:51again. So it wasn't just Reggie Miller,
- 3:37:54it was everybody. So to me, it was just like
- 3:37:57really shots fired. It really is a low blow.
- 3:38:00And, and Reggie Miller probably just smirked.
- 3:38:02He knows that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player,
- 3:38:05I would say the greatest athlete of all time.
- 3:38:08And and to me an assassin. But it's just it's funny when
- 3:38:12Barack Obama wants to take shot at somebody when he's trying to
- 3:38:15take a shot at somebody that was it was great.
- 3:38:17Just wasn't Michael Jordan and or even close to Michael
- 3:38:20Jordan's greatness. It's pathetic.
- 3:38:22Be quiet, Barack, keep doing your own thing.
- 3:38:25Keep doing the politics. Stay away from me.
- 3:38:28Stay away from Jordan. We know he's the best.
- 3:38:31Kiss my ass and I couldn't stand him too.
- 3:38:34Hey look I think the brightest side of this too because Jordan
- 3:38:37was a Nick killer as well too but no one was I.
- 3:38:40Guess I would say as annoying as or as much of A throne like you
- 3:38:43said, as someone like Reggie Miller.
- 3:38:45I mean, look at Reggie Miller. He he still he still has that
- 3:38:49that Nick hate from when he's even announcing games.
- 3:38:52We saw at the last he actually rooted.
- 3:38:54But believe it or not, I and I disagree because when he when
- 3:38:57the the Knicks were playing the Pacers, do you know who he?
- 3:39:00Picked to win that series. Before the series, he picked the
- 3:39:03Knicks. So yeah, I'm just reverse jinx
- 3:39:06by him. He's such a piece of garbage.
- 3:39:08I agree with you, Tommy. I'm just saying I was about to
- 3:39:11say the same. I was just about to.
- 3:39:12Finish up with that. The fact is, is that, hey, it
- 3:39:15was shots towards Reggie Miller. So who cares?
- 3:39:20I'm all right with it. It was at the shots of Reggie
- 3:39:22Miller, so he could go ahead and joke on that all he wants.
- 3:39:27You know, like Halliburton is like the successor to Reggie
- 3:39:31Miller because he's so annoying, too.
- 3:39:33Like. Really.
- 3:39:33Great, but so annoying. Almost was annoying.
- 3:39:36Almost wasn't Nick. Yeah, a lot of great players
- 3:39:39Almost were Nick. They weren't.
- 3:39:42We got one more story left for the night.
- 3:39:44Guys, we've made it and this one is as dumb.
- 3:39:47As you'd. Expect it to be We're going to
- 3:39:49college basketball. Miami of Ohio is the only
- 3:39:53undefeated Division One team left and they're head coach
- 3:39:57powered by their fan section of Speedo wearing swimmers that are
- 3:40:04male swimmers that distract the foul shots in their Skibbies.
- 3:40:10The head coach said he is going to wear a Speedo during
- 3:40:14Selection Sunday when, if and when they go undefeated. 34 and
- 3:40:20O into the dance, Errol. Something that you would do,
- 3:40:24dial it up. First of all, if I'm going to do
- 3:40:27it, I'm not going to say it on national television or say it to
- 3:40:30the media. I I mean, it's cool.
- 3:40:33If you want to wear Speedo because it gives them good luck.
- 3:40:36I mean, I've never heard that before.
- 3:40:37I'm going to wear my Speedo. It's going to give me good luck.
- 3:40:40I I'd probably walk naked around my house if, if, if I'm trying
- 3:40:44to win something because at least I have it dangling to the
- 3:40:47ground or something. I I honestly think this is the
- 3:40:50most ridiculous take by a head coach.
- 3:40:52And what does that say to a bunch of 12/13 guys on my team?
- 3:40:56I'm trying to coach. Hey, guys, you know what, it'll
- 3:40:59give me good luck, you know, give us good luck.
- 3:41:01We're your Speedo. I I, it's just ridiculous.
- 3:41:03But hey, you want to laugh? You want to make a joke?
- 3:41:06Hey, I'll walk around naked. Like I said, balls low to the
- 3:41:10ground. That's it.
- 3:41:11And maybe I can bounce them on the ground.
- 3:41:13I mean, as you get older, they start to hang.
- 3:41:15So why not get that one episode of South Park?
- 3:41:17There you go. I hang.
- 3:41:19What is that? How low can you go?
- 3:41:21How low can? You go.
- 3:41:23You know, I only got the only thing I can say about this one.
- 3:41:28Is he really, as a coach, want to do?
- 3:41:30Things to get kids to buy in it just so unfortunately happened
- 3:41:34for this coach that the kids are buying in in quite a strange
- 3:41:37way. That is not what I would want to
- 3:41:40have to deal with if I was the coach.
- 3:41:41It's kind of creepy maybe. I mean, think about it and you
- 3:41:45could shut the music. I'll say this if you're I'm not
- 3:41:47a Miami, Ohio fan. I.
- 3:41:49Haven't watched them really play any basketball all season long.
- 3:41:52I watched Duke. I, I've watched about 15 games
- 3:41:55of Duke this year. Not full games, but most of them
- 3:41:58most of the game, most of the time watching those games.
- 3:42:00But I, I, I've seen enough basketball and college
- 3:42:04basketball to know that nobody gives a crap where Miami, Ohio
- 3:42:07is going to land what part of the bracket they're going to
- 3:42:10land because it's they're, they're not a bad team, but
- 3:42:13they're not waiting anything. I mean, come on.
- 3:42:15So I'm interested to see how Houston and where Houston falls
- 3:42:20in the bracket because to me, if I was the Duke Blue Devils, I do
- 3:42:24not want to play them at at any point during the tournament
- 3:42:28because they got their number. And I, you know, shires has done
- 3:42:33enough for me. And I was talk to talking to a
- 3:42:36bunch of Duke fans yesterday about this.
- 3:42:39And I was speaking to the guy, the guy that runs that Knicks
- 3:42:43program and shout out to Quran and his his beautiful girlfriend
- 3:42:46Maxine. We were talking about the, the
- 3:42:49Duke Blue Devils. He's a Duke fan.
- 3:42:50I'm a Duke fan. So we have something in common.
- 3:42:52We we were speaking about what, what do we fear on the Duke Blue
- 3:42:56Devils? I say I fear everything because
- 3:42:58coach Shire is running that organization.
- 3:43:00He's running that that program. That scares me enough that he
- 3:43:03can't finish the deal and close out in games.
- 3:43:05His play calling is some of the worst I've ever seen.
- 3:43:08So and he says you don't like Shire.
- 3:43:10I was like, how do you not like Shire?
- 3:43:11I was like he stinks and and and I don't know if Duke will ever
- 3:43:14win a championship with all the talent that they had.
- 3:43:17Look at the talent that they had last year.
- 3:43:18They have Cooper flag and they have the two best players right
- 3:43:21now up for rookie of the year and they couldn't win a national
- 3:43:24championship. And by the way, all those
- 3:43:27Houston players, none of them are even playing in the NBA
- 3:43:31right now. Think about that.
- 3:43:32Think about that. And they got 2 superstars that
- 3:43:35are as good as any rookie we've seen come out of the draft in
- 3:43:38the last 10 years. Jamie Lee, fire you back in the
- 3:43:41comment section. Not Tar Heels over here.
- 3:43:42Errol. Yeah, don't worry my friend, the
- 3:43:45Tar Heels will. Be eating balls.
- 3:43:47Wait, Jamie Lee? Weren't you the same person that
- 3:43:49won your own coach? Fire too.
- 3:43:50Yeah. Well, listen, if I'm, if I want
- 3:43:53to dip something, you know. I'll use my.
- 3:43:56I'll teabag the the tar. Heels after the Duke Blue Devils
- 3:43:59wipe the floor with them, they still have they got the
- 3:44:01championship, the ACC championship, so they can meet
- 3:44:04up in the ACC championship. So I expect that to happen.
- 3:44:08So Duke will wash the floor by the way, they have a great
- 3:44:12player. North Carolina's great player
- 3:44:13right now is top five player yeah.
- 3:44:15Wilson's going to be a nice player in the NBA too.
- 3:44:17So they this is a great draft, man, a great draft.
- 3:44:21So I'm interested to to argue who goes 1-2 and three.
- 3:44:26But I'm going to tell you this right now, whoever drafts one,
- 3:44:29if they don't draft to Cam Boozer, they're making a huge
- 3:44:32mistake. I'm telling you, this kid is the
- 3:44:34real deal. The BYU kids cool, the Kansas
- 3:44:37kids cool. Even you know, the North
- 3:44:40Carolina kid is cool. But I've watched these guys play
- 3:44:42and I've watched Cam play. Cam is getting double teamed and
- 3:44:46he's still averaging 20 something points a game and
- 3:44:49almost 10 rebounds a game. And this guy can pass, defend
- 3:44:52multiple positions. He's as good as any.
- 3:44:55He's better than Cooper Flag is. And that's crazy for me to say
- 3:44:58because I've been following Cooper Flag for a while, since
- 3:45:018th grade. He's better than Cooper Flag is
- 3:45:03as a young player. So I'm telling you right now,
- 3:45:06and if Dallas gets him, could you imagine Cooper Flag and Cam
- 3:45:09Boozer in Dallas? That would be real.
- 3:45:11But like, let's gift you guys a franchise.
- 3:45:14I get the worst GM ever. I could see it.
- 3:45:16I could see it happening. Mark Cuban buying the team back.
- 3:45:18Baby Mark. Yeah, Cuban buys it back.
- 3:45:21It's a big. Big conspiracy, and we can
- 3:45:23figure out how Silver arranged that one is the next.
- 3:45:26Big conspiracy of the league, you know.
- 3:45:28Anyways, let thank you to our very special guest, Las Vegas
- 3:45:32Raiders running back Dylan Lalby.

- 3:48:34Our PR manager, he's hopefully not playing with himself.
- 3:48:37He doesn't have anything on the wall, so I'm thinking that he's
- 3:48:40maybe in a jail cell or something.
- 3:48:42I don't know what he's doing over there, but I, I like the,
- 3:48:45he sent us a picture of his sofa and his nice little, you know,
- 3:48:48television, his big television and all set up.
- 3:48:51It's like the only thing in that room, but nothings on the wall.
- 3:48:53There's no pictures. Why don't you have a picture of
- 3:48:56Lisa Ann on the wall? I mean, that would be nice.
- 3:48:58I mean all that stuff. It would be beneficial,
- 3:49:01beneficial for you to there it is maybe a Shudor Sanders
- 3:49:04picture, you know, maybe you know him wearing a Speedo or
- 3:49:08something like that. That would be cool.
- 3:49:10You know, you know, a San Francisco 49ers, you know,
- 3:49:13Speedo because he might be the fourth string quarterback before
- 3:49:17you know it over there. Like Kyle Shanahan or whoever is
- 3:49:19going to be coaching that team in the near future might be
- 3:49:21Deion Sanders at this race. Deion Sanders, but here we go.
- 3:49:25No, no, no, no. Oh, there it is.
- 3:49:28There he is. When a gin and tonic.
