• 0:00
  Any questions? This is the Jabba and the Mouth
• 0:04
  show. He tastes himself.
• 0:06
  I got the bubble. Gum.
• 0:09
  That went over like a fart. Another tow job ever going
• 0:13
  wrong. Like the streets in my bridge.
• 0:28
  Yes, we are Jabba the Mouth. There's no Jabba tonight.
• 0:32
  His Internet is horrible over there in Nebraska.
• 0:35
  Oh, it's a shame, Snowy, disgusting.
• 0:38
  Mine is 37 or whatever it is in Nebraska.
• 0:41
  So no Jabba tonight. It's just me and the speedster
• 0:45
  and the fish. As you just heard him.
• 0:47
  Remember my name is Errol Marx. I am the mouth.
• 0:50
  And my Co host tonight, as he always is, is my third Co host,
• 0:54
  Mr. Speedster. He's producing tonight as
• 0:57
  always, as he's just a very analytical type type of person.
• 1:02
  Right, Speedy? Yeah, You indeed.
• 1:03
  Yes. No, I'm talking about you.
• 1:04
  I'm not talking about me. Are you giving me?
• 1:06
  No, I said yes, you were right. Indeed.
• 1:08
  I stumbled. Yes, you stumbled.
• 1:09
  Yeah, you always stumbled. 631-672-3108 As we talked to a
• 1:14
  guy that was getting high in Kenny a little bit earlier in
• 1:17
  the show, but this guy before we get him in is a guy that's from
• 1:21
  Long Island. And, and the reason why I said
• 1:23
  this guy is because this guy is brought to you by our show and
• 1:28
  our show is brought to you by Omaha Steaks.
• 1:31

• 2:10
  Speedy. I got a little bit of enthusiasm

  on that one. It always is enthusiasm, but I
• 2:14
  always kind of blow it out of proportion.
• 2:16
  But if you like your Omaha Steaks and Speedy likes thick
• 2:18
  and big in many different ways. I don't want to scare our guests
• 2:21
  off, but that's that's the way Speedy performs his beef.
• 2:24
  Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on JOB in the mouth,
• 2:27
  we are talking to Las Vegas Raiders running back, Long
• 2:30
  Island native ladies and gentlemen, Chris Collier.
• 2:34
  Chris, what's up, buddy? What's good my man?
• 2:37
  How you doing? Well, I'm a little, I'm my, my
• 2:40
  personality is a little outlandishly.
• 2:42
  Crazy. I love it and.
• 2:45
  If you watch this show, you would know that I dig deep and,
• 2:48
  and I could dig really, really deep and I don't want to go, you
• 2:51
  know, if I dig deep, I, I don't want to, you know, I hopefully
• 2:53
  my girlfriend isn't listening because I do dig deep.
• 2:56
  Anyways, there is a lot to get into.
• 2:59
  First of all, with your career and where you come from.
• 3:02
  Obviously you played for Nassau, right?
• 3:05
  My, that's right. And you started your your
• 3:08
  college career playing for Nassau Community College.
• 3:12
  So what made you play football? Where did you play football
• 3:15
  first in high school? And then what made you decide to
• 3:18
  jump into Nassau before you decided to move forward in your
• 3:22
  college career? So I started football at a young
• 3:26
  age. I was introduced to it by my
• 3:28
  father. I was very like unsure at first,
• 3:33
  but I did have some interest after watching the Super Bowl in
• 3:37
  2000, I believe it was seven. It was the Giants versus the
• 3:40
  Patriots. It was the helmet catch.
• 3:42
  Remember watching that. That was my first time I really
• 3:47
  seeing something of that nature and it just brought me to the
• 3:49
  game and I was just really, really intrigued by it and I
• 3:51
  just took off from him. My dad was my trainer early on.
• 3:55
  He got me into it. Fast forward to college and
• 3:59
  choosing NASAR. A lot of it came down to in high
• 4:03
  school my junior year, I was, I was getting a lot of traction.
• 4:06
  I had a lot of FBSFCS schools contacting me, some throwing
• 4:12
  scholarships, and I ended up blowing out my knee midway
• 4:16
  through that year and I lost everything.
• 4:19
  I ended up only getting like some PW OS back the next year.
• 4:24
  I the next year I actually did have a breakout season, but it
• 4:27
  just wasn't enough. You know, like the ACL always
• 4:29
  had that stigma behind it. And especially as a running back
• 4:32
  with the knees, they don't really want to play that game.
• 4:35
  So, you know, I just had to bet on myself.
• 4:37
  I had to go to Nassau and that's how I ended up there,
• 4:39
  truthfully. Go ahead, Speedy, before I let
• 4:41
  you go, I just I, you know, I've been reading a little bit about
• 4:45
  you. I didn't know much about you.
• 4:46
  And I've understood. I've, I've talked to a lot of
• 4:50
  athletes. I've interviewed over 5000
• 4:51
  people in the last 13 years. Yeah, I've, I've been all over
• 4:55
  the place and I've, I've interviewed Hall of Farmers,
• 4:57
  great running backs and, and you and you could be one of the
• 5:00
  future greats. And I I do.
• 5:01
  Believe. I absolutely why not It there
• 5:04
  anything's possible football, you all you got to do is make it
• 5:07
  and then you go out there and you got to prove it.
• 5:09
  And it's a it's a crazy story because I was an athlete too.
• 5:13
  I hurt my knee and that probably made me walk away from the sport
• 5:16
  of hockey. I was a great hockey player and
• 5:19
  I, I sprained my 7 ligaments in my knee and that really torched
• 5:25
  my opportunity. So what happened with me?
• 5:28
  What happened with me Chris, is I, I had a chance to sign up my
• 5:33
  letter of intent and I, I was either choosing from Maine, New
• 5:37
  Hampshire and Niagara University and I chose Niagara because I
• 5:43
  was only going to play one year of college hockey and I was
• 5:46
  going to go play pro hockey. I was, I was estimated to be a
• 5:49
  late first round, maybe your early second round pick at the
• 5:51
  time. So yeah, I was a good hockey
• 5:53
  player and I wanted to play one year.
• 5:56
  I didn't want to be red shirted. And hockey, you know, they
• 5:58
  usually play the, the juniors and all the way through the
• 6:01
  seniors. So it was going to be hard.
• 6:04
  New Hampshire and Maine were the best in the country at the time.
• 6:06
  So I, I did, they were in the Frozen 4 for like 3 years in a
• 6:10
  row at the time that I was a kid.
• 6:11
  So I, I chose to go to Niagara. I didn't sign my letter of
• 6:15
  intent. I hurt my knee at a Canadian
• 6:16
  tournament and they didn't want to give me my full scholarship.
• 6:20
  They decided that they were going to hold on to my and tell
• 6:22
  me I I'd be a walk on, they'll give me a half a scholarship.
• 6:25
  And that pissed me off. I walked away from hockey and I
• 6:28
  never played again. Never played again.
• 6:30
  Choose Never played again. And real similar.
• 6:33
  Yeah, yeah, very similar. That's why I wanted to bring it
• 6:36
  up to you. Go ahead, Speedy.
• 6:37
  Yeah, I didn't talk about the kind of football exposure
• 6:40
  because Errol and I cover a youth football team, Long Island
• 6:42
  Elite here on Long Island. We've done a lot of events for
• 6:44
  them. And again, we don't think of
• 6:46
  like football the same way as you would like Arrow playing
• 6:49
  hockey and lacrosse and baseball.
• 6:50
  Yeah, guys like that with football.
• 6:52
  So at all different levels, both with with youth, with high
• 6:54
  school football you play at Lawrence and now even going in
• 6:57
  NASA, Like what was the what was the process like with football
• 7:00
  for you and you growing into a level of sport like you were
• 7:02
  saying before? Truthfully, it was.
• 7:06
  It really just came from just all those games that I I think I
• 7:11
  grew up in a really golden era of football, especially like the
• 7:15
  late late 2000s, like 2009, two thousand and ten 2011.
• 7:22
  Like when you're a kid, you're most influenced by whatever it
• 7:25
  is that intrigues you. And I watched tons of amazing
• 7:28
  games and I was a huge Giants fan growing up, so I had a real
• 7:32
  love for Eli Manning, you know, Brandon Jacobs and all that.
• 7:35
  And obviously, you know, you're a kid and most of my friends all
• 7:38
  played football, so a lot of it came from that.
• 7:41
  But then I I started to develop my own love by just, you know,
• 7:44
  watching high tapes of greats like Reggie Bush, you know,
• 7:47
  Barry Sanders and trying to emulate their game.
• 7:50
  I wasn't really the type of dude to really sit there and get on
• 7:53
  the the footwork ladder and all that, But I'd love to just watch
• 7:57
  film and just look at these guys and just try to practice the
• 8:00
  moves in in practice. And then if it worked out,
• 8:02
  couldn't practice and I'd do it in the game.
• 8:04
  And that's just how I came to love the game of football for
• 8:08
  real. Now, obviously, and if anybody
• 8:11
  doesn't know, we're talking to Las Vegas Raiders running back
• 8:14
  Chris Collier. Long Island native.
• 8:16
  Very happy to have him on a show.
• 8:18
  You were an undrafted player and, and, and you got a
• 8:24
  three-year deal, $2.8 million contract from the Baltimore
• 8:27
  Ravens. And like I said, I did my
• 8:29
  research on you. So I got a chance that I usually
• 8:32
  I usually don't, but you're a Long Island.
• 8:34
  I I like to have some fun. You'll see I.
• 8:37
  I can go. But I, I want you to know that
• 8:40
  I, I as a player and as a hockey player and as a Long Island
• 8:43
  native, I love when I hear these stories from Long Island and
• 8:47
  even New York guys that make it and, and, and do something with
• 8:51
  their careers in sports. It's not easy to get to that,
• 8:53
  that next level. It's one of the hardest things
• 8:55
  to do. So to get to that level, you got
• 8:57
  to be the best of the best. I don't care what anybody says.
• 8:59
  There's not many players that get a chance to do what you're
• 9:01
  doing today. When you got that contract, what
• 9:04
  was it like? What was it relief?
• 9:06
  How did you feel? Oh man, it was.
• 9:07
  It was definitely relief. It was.
• 9:10
  Most money you've ever seen in your life, obviously.
• 9:12
  Oh yeah, 100%. But it's funny because you see
• 9:16
  those numbers, but in reality, that's not what you actually
• 9:19
  get. What happens is that's the
• 9:22
  contract if you make the roster. What happened with me was since
• 9:27
  I went undrafted, you know, you're kind of in this bidding
• 9:30
  system and you're able to basically choose what team you
• 9:34
  want to go to, whichever teams are interested.
• 9:36
  I had about like 25 teams interested and I had my pick.
• 9:40
  But the Ravens were, funny enough, the first team to
• 9:44
  actually call me and say, hey, this is how much we're going to
• 9:47
  give you. And I didn't want to play around
• 9:49
  with it. You know, all the calls came
• 9:51
  after the Ravens, but I already signed and I already did all
• 9:53
  that, so I just went to them. But what they actually offered
• 9:57
  me was like 5000 guaranteed. That's it.
• 9:59
  So you see that three-year, $2.8 million contract, but only $5000
• 10:04
  is guaranteed. So, you know, you go through
• 10:07
  OTAs, you go through training camp, and you just get like a
• 10:11
  per diem. So you're not really seeing any
• 10:13
  type of crazy money. This is for people that don't
• 10:15
  know how it goes. You may be getting as a rookie.
• 10:17
  I think I was getting maybe like 1200 a week, but I was getting
• 10:22
  Maryland taxes. So it was really like $800 a
• 10:24
  week. But they covered housing and all
• 10:28
  that. So you don't really have to
• 10:29
  worry about that. But you know, I go through the
• 10:30
  preseason. I have an alright preseason.
• 10:33
  It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, but they thought it was
• 10:35
  good enough where they kept me on the team.
• 10:37
  So now I got on the practice squad.
• 10:39
  Now that three-year $2.8 million contract is out the window.
• 10:43
  Now you're making you're, you're on a yearly contract, like a
• 10:46
  year contract and it's only about like maybe 250,000 and you
• 10:55
  basically go with that. But you know, I ended up getting
• 10:57
  elevated 3 games. So I saw that game check and
• 10:59
  that's when you see that money for real.
• 11:01
  And when I saw that, buddy, I think I my first game was the
• 11:07
  Cowboys. And that's a that's no state
• 11:11
  income tax, No income, no state income tax.
• 11:14
  Yeah. So you see the full check, but I
• 11:16
  saw that full check. Oh, my gosh.
• 11:20
  That's what I had that feeling that you're talking about when
• 11:22
  you see that money is like the most you've ever seen.
• 11:24
  But yeah, I was, I was moved. I was had tears of joy and I
• 11:28
  just kind of wanted to keep fighting.
• 11:30
  And I ended up getting two more games after that elevator.
• 11:32
  And then they ended up signing me to the active roster.
• 11:35
  I played a couple games and yeah, the rest of the rest of
• 11:40
  his history, honestly. So the guy that's coaching the
• 11:42
  New York Giants now is the guy that was your coach with the
• 11:46
  Ravens and John Harbaugh. What was he like as a as a on
• 11:49
  the off the field personalities as a coach for you in his rookie
• 11:52
  year? And how do you think he will
• 11:53
  work over there with the Giants now that he's over there?
• 11:55
  He'll work a great deal. I'll tell you what, them boys
• 11:58
  are going to be working. I feel like John Harbaugh and I
• 12:01
  just feel like the AFC, probably the AFC North in general with
• 12:04
  their training camps is just so gritty.
• 12:07
  That's why the AFC North was like that for as long as it's
• 12:10
  been just gritty, gritty teams. And they will expect a guy who's
• 12:16
  a very personal player. He's got a lot of faith, which I
• 12:20
  loved, is very spiritually sound, you know, gave a lot of
• 12:23
  spiritual knowledge. And he, as long as you, you
• 12:27
  know, in this business, it's a business at the end of the day,
• 12:30
  but as long as you do R and your P's and Q's and you're doing
• 12:33
  what you got to do, he's a real personal guy.
• 12:35
  He loves to get to know his players.
• 12:37
  And that's exactly what he did to me.
• 12:38
  And I was an undrafted guy from AD 2.
• 12:41
  So, you know, went from him to Lamar.
• 12:44
  He treated me just just as nice. We are talking to Las Vegas
• 12:48
  Raiders running back Chris Collier, Long Island native from
• 12:50
  Hempstead and worked his way up from college.
• 12:54
  Or I'm talking about Nassau Community College to regular
• 12:57
  college to obvious be an undrafted player.
• 13:00
  Then you got a chance to be coached by John Harbaugh and I
• 13:03
  want to go to your Raider. The last two years, the Raiders,
• 13:06
  you've had two different coaches.
• 13:07
  You have had Antonio Pierce, who I obviously a guy that you
• 13:11
  looked up to, you probably followed when you were a Giant
• 13:13
  fan. So you got a chance to be
• 13:15
  coached by a guy that you rooted for.
• 13:17
  And then Pete Carroll, who is one of the more interesting
• 13:20
  personalities in the NFL. He really is.
• 13:24
  And I, I met funny thing, funny story with Pete Carroll is I met
• 13:27
  Pete Carroll when he was an assistant coach for the New York
• 13:29
  Jets. I was a kid, I was young and
• 13:32
  Pete Carroll came from the Patriots.
• 13:34
  So I remember that. And he wasn't successful as a
• 13:37
  coordinator. He was actually The Jets coach
• 13:39
  for a couple of games, but he wasn't very successful as we all
• 13:42
  know most guys are. And I'm a Jet fan, so I know all
• 13:45
  about it. So I, I know a little bit about
• 13:48
  Pete. Pete is a very unique
• 13:50
  individual. He, he knows his X's and P
• 13:53
  whatever YS&X's or X's and Q's and he understands how to
• 13:58
  manipulate the defensive side of the ball.
• 14:00
  He's very good at that. And he has been a person that
• 14:03
  I've always thought a very one, very successful coach.
• 14:06
  He he won two national championships.
• 14:09
  I know a lot of people want to blame him for cheating or
• 14:12
  whatever the hell it is. Who cares?
• 14:14
  I don't care. I don't.
• 14:15
  To me, they were all doing it. So, USC.
• 14:17
  And then doing it. Yeah, everybody was doing it in
• 14:19
  Seattle. He won a Super Bowl, should have
• 14:21
  won two Super Bowls if he didn't make that terrible call, not
• 14:24
  giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch, which he's probably going
• 14:27
  to be tacked for the rest of his life.
• 14:29
  And now you got a chance with a third coach in three in 2 1/2
• 14:34
  years. Actually, it's not even three
• 14:35
  years. Ago.
• 14:36
  And you don't know who it's going to be.
• 14:38
  So what was it like being coached for from a guy that you
• 14:41
  looked up to? Antonio Pierce and then Pete
• 14:43
  Carroll. Antonio Pierce was a real Both
• 14:46
  of them are players coach, but Antonio Pierce is one of the
• 14:48
  more those more chill laid back. You know, he was just up and
• 14:52
  coming into it. I only got there towards the end
• 14:55
  of the season with him, but he was he was a great dude.
• 14:58
  I I was only there for about like maybe I think six weeks
• 15:02
  until unfortunately he got fired.
• 15:05
  But he did give me my first opportunities.
• 15:06
  He got me on the roster again after being cut from the Ravens.
• 15:11
  He gave me a shot. He gave me full faith.
• 15:14
  He was one of those guys actually talked to you.
• 15:16
  You know, sometimes there's those coaches that just be about
• 15:18
  their business, don't really talk to the players.
• 15:20
  He actually talked to his guys. He talked to me a good amount.
• 15:23
  And Pete, Pete, I love Pete. He's a he's a character, but
• 15:31
  he's real to the T, he's to the books.
• 15:33
  He's intense, but he's a players coach and he has a lot of love
• 15:37
  for his players. And he was, he showed that every
• 15:39
  single day. We had a very competitive
• 15:41
  nature. I mean, OTAs, the way the season
• 15:44
  went, unfortunately, and just seeing how hard we worked, I was
• 15:49
  just very surprised and it was very disappointing to see how
• 15:51
  the season went. But Pete was real about his
• 15:54
  philosophy, and I know his philosophy did work because it
• 15:58
  did work with the Seattle Seahawks when he was with them.
• 16:01
  And, you know, sometimes just clicks and chemistry just don't
• 16:06
  align. And that's just sad.
• 16:09
  Part of the game that just has to do with business and
• 16:11
  transactions that happens with the roster, unfortunately.
• 16:14
  But he was a great dude. I love Pete.
• 16:16
  So you had two players that was told to sit at three games at
• 16:20
  the end of the season because a lot of people believe they
• 16:23
  wanted that number one pick. And I believe it cost Pete
• 16:27
  Carroll his job. I I really do.
• 16:29
  Max Crosby was not happy. He he doesn't care about the
• 16:33
  first pick. He doesn't care about any of
• 16:34
  that. And you have, to me, one of the
• 16:36
  best tight ends in all of football, he's a beast, a beast
• 16:40
  of a man. And and he was told, both guys
• 16:42
  were told that to sit out. Now, I don't know what's going
• 16:45
  to happen with Max Crosby. Some people believe that he's
• 16:47
  going to ask for a trade. Who knows at that point of the
• 16:51
  season and you're a player, you're you're the, you're a
• 16:54
  player. That's not obviously as
• 16:56
  important to the roster as the way they look at you.
• 16:59
  When you look at that specific situation, what were you
• 17:02
  thinking? If if you were a coach and you
• 17:04
  were told Pete Carroll was told sit those guys as a player, when
• 17:08
  you have a chance to win those last three games or or two out
• 17:11
  of the three games, what were you thinking as a player?
• 17:13
  As a player, I was definitely like I could, I could say a
• 17:17
  majority, if not all the players were very upset and disappointed
• 17:22
  because we were all still fighting regardless.
• 17:24
  We're at the highest level of football.
• 17:26
  Nobody wants to get clown on TV. Nobody wants to be seen losing.
• 17:29
  And when you take, you know, some guys that are real
• 17:32
  detrimental, like Max Crosby, who literally does not come off
• 17:35
  the field at all, plays every play 100% it hurts.
• 17:40
  And to see his pain in it, you know, he he was upset for from
• 17:44
  it. And I could see walking in the
• 17:46
  building, you know, he was always one of the earliest guys.
• 17:48
  Even when he was sat out, he was still, you know, early doing his
• 17:52
  rehab. He knew his knee was messed up.
• 17:54
  I'm not going to sit here in line.
• 17:55
  His knee was messed up, definitely was.
• 17:59
  But he was still attacking her 100%.
• 18:02
  Same thing with Brock. You know, Brock had that knee
• 18:05
  thing earlier in the season. I can't really speak too much on
• 18:09
  it after the fact, of course, because he was playing like a
• 18:11
  beast. But yeah, that's just stuff that
• 18:16
  happens in the training room that, you know, I'm not part of
• 18:19
  those conversations. But unfortunately that's just
• 18:21
  the way it went down. And all the players just didn't,
• 18:23
  you know, obviously like it. None of us liked it, truthfully.
• 18:26
  And I, I truly believe Pete didn't want that either.
• 18:29
  But you know, sometimes it's just.
• 18:32
  You got to do what somebody tells you, right?
• 18:34
  You got to do what the the GM and executives and ownerships or
• 18:39
  maybe even Tom Brady, Who knows moving on to the your your
• 18:46
  running backroom, precisely where he most of was a veteran
• 18:49
  leader that was in that group who's like 33 years old now.
• 18:52
  He's bumped around the league and done a lot.
• 18:53
  Obviously Ashton Ginti, the the should have been Heisman Trophy
• 18:56
  winner in college. Absolutely amid Ashton, that's a
• 18:59
  pick. And then even a nice guy is
• 19:01
  actually coming on our show next month.
• 19:02
  He's actually traveling in Japan.
• 19:03
  Dylan lobby, lobby or lobby. He's actually coming on the show
• 19:07
  next month. He's traveling to Japan right
• 19:09
  now, but he'll be on with us. So that running back room, those
• 19:11
  those three guys, what have been they've been like for you as
• 19:15
  most as a as a mentor for you as a veteran guy.
• 19:17
  Ginti is the flashy veteran of the lobby is another younger
• 19:19
  guy. I love that room.
• 19:21
  That is probably in all my years of playing football, that is the
• 19:24
  most tight knit group I've ever been a part of and that I've
• 19:29
  ever seen. We just all get along.
• 19:32
  We all joke around. Meetings were just amazing.
• 19:34
  Even through the turmoil and like the tribulations and trials
• 19:37
  we were going through, we just always found a way to make one
• 19:40
  another smile and laugh, you know?
• 19:42
  Raheem especially was a great mentor for all of us.
• 19:45
  He's been there for 11 years. He's been in the league for 11
• 19:47
  years. And especially when he first got
• 19:50
  there and I heard his story and I actually got to, you know,
• 19:52
  obviously research about him and look up his story.
• 19:55
  I mean, he had a real, real, a lot of trials to go through when
• 20:00
  he first got into the league. But I feel like that's what made
• 20:03
  him the player that he is. And he gives so much knowledge
• 20:05
  about it. And it really helped me out
• 20:07
  during. As I got to talk to him to see
• 20:11
  like, you know, see that light at the end of the tunnel, you
• 20:13
  know, Ashton's a great dude, real humble, just amazing
• 20:16
  player. Just seeing what he does.
• 20:18
  I love studying his tape and seeing how he reacts, what he
• 20:21
  sees, You know, we talk all the time.
• 20:23
  He tells me how it is what, what could be done in certain
• 20:27
  situations. He's a great film junkie.
• 20:29
  And Dylan, Dylan's just a Dylan's a great dude.
• 20:33
  I love Dylan. He he's a hard worker and you
• 20:36
  know, when it's time to goof around, he could be a class
• 20:38
  clown. And he was definitely the
• 20:39
  funniest guy in our room and he kept all of our spirits high.
• 20:43
  And you know, Zamir White was definitely one of the quieter
• 20:46
  ones, but he was always that one, that one solid rock that
• 20:49
  always had each of our backs and was just a great dude to be
• 20:52
  around. Very loving, very caring and
• 20:54
  very genuine and down to earth. We are talking to Las Vegas
• 20:57
  Raiders running back Chris Collie.
• 20:59
  All right, now let's get into it.
• 21:00
  Chris number one first draft pick of this year.
• 21:06
  In 2026, the Raiders pick who? You know this answer, I think
• 21:13
  everybody in this country knows this answer.
• 21:17
  I'm not, I'm not, I'm not in that front office.
• 21:20
  And I can't really say what I I want to say or could say.
• 21:25
  I know what? I know what you're going to say.
• 21:27
  I'll do it for you, all right? I'll pretend I'm Roger the the
• 21:32
  pain in the ass Adele at #1 The Las Vegas Raiders select Indiana
• 21:40
  Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
• 21:45
  That's what's. Yeah, that's what's going to
• 21:47
  happen. I said it.
• 21:50
  I said it and you said it. I mean, you got a chance to
• 21:53
  watch the national championships.
• 21:54
  You've seen what he this kid has done and all the trials and
• 21:57
  tribulations. And it's it's fitting when you
• 21:59
  think of his story, it it's crazy.
• 22:01
  He grew up in Miami, always wanted to play for the the
• 22:04
  Hurricanes. And who does he play in the
• 22:05
  national championship? the Hurricanes.
• 22:07
  Where does he play it in Miami? And then wins and has that
• 22:11
  unbelievable run for that touchdown, which is epic.
• 22:14
  What type of player do you think Fernando Mendoza would be if the
• 22:18
  Raiders drafted him? If the Raiders.
• 22:22
  I'm trying to help you here. I'm trying to.
• 22:23
  Protect you If the Raiders draft him, he would be a great, great
• 22:30
  asset. He would be a great leader.
• 22:31
  He's a one thing I love about him and that I've really seen a
• 22:37
  lot and he makes it known is that he's a man of God.
• 22:39
  And you know, that story that you just said just seems to be
• 22:42
  God's time and God's plan and everything that he's got and
• 22:45
  going on is just part of the journey.
• 22:47
  And the way he keeps his head on straight, he's destined for
• 22:51
  success. He he seemed seems like a hard
• 22:54
  worker. He's obviously proven to be a
• 22:56
  hard worker with what he's done with that team and getting to
• 23:00
  that point and winning that big game and it's just I'm very
• 23:04
  excited to see how his pre draft process goes when he does.
• 23:08
  He probably won't have to test, but I would love to see him
• 23:11
  still throw and all that other good stuff and just, you know, I
• 23:14
  can't wait to see what it's like when he's in the league.
• 23:16
  But I definitely see a lot of success in the future with the
• 23:18
  way he's set up his life. I will say this, I'm a Jet fan
• 23:22
  so they were sitting at 2 and I'm very upset because I I
• 23:26
  really would have liked to see Mendoza in a Jets green and.
• 23:29
  White. It's not happening.
• 23:31
  I know you're smirking, you're laughing, you're giggling.
• 23:33
  And I know you're a Giant fan, so you don't want to see him go
• 23:36
  to The Jets either. But as a Jet fan, that's what I
• 23:39
  wanted to see. But what's amazing about him, I
• 23:42
  was at his Heisman Trophy dinner and I got a chance to meet him.
• 23:46
  I asked him a couple of questions.
• 23:47
  I was one of very few guys that got a chance to answer, ask him
• 23:50
  questions. And I asked him what would it be
• 23:52
  like to play in New York? And he says I New York is
• 23:55
  beautiful. And he says the people here are
• 23:57
  beautiful. And he says I, I know the fan
• 23:59
  base. It doesn't matter if it was a
• 24:01
  Giants or The Jets are sacred to, you know, to the players and
• 24:05
  sacred to their organizations. And I, he is a, he's a very
• 24:09
  refined person. I can tell you that about him.
• 24:12
  Personality wise, I think he can play anywhere and I think he'll
• 24:16
  be successful. He's not a flashy guy, but he
• 24:19
  does everything right and he's a great accurate thrower.
• 24:23
  So I think you guys are going to like him.
• 24:26
  I also met Ashton Gente in in the year before at the at the
• 24:31
  other Heisman Trophy dinner, which I thought he got robbed
• 24:34
  because no way in hell I thought Travis the Gremlin hunter should
• 24:38
  have won the damn friggin trophy.
• 24:41
  OK, And that's the truth. I thought he was one of the most
• 24:43
  overrated Heisman Trophy winners of all time.
• 24:46
  I don't care if he played too. You know, he played a cornerback
• 24:48
  position, wide receiver. And I told everybody he was
• 24:50
  going to fail in the NFL. And I know you, I'm not going to
• 24:54
  do it in front of you and I'll let you say anything, but Ashton
• 24:57
  Jetty was the best player in the country.
• 24:59
  He was the best player in the country.
• 25:01
  He should have won the Heisman Trophy.
• 25:03
  He got robbed. And I'll tell you this, I'll say
• 25:06
  this. Dylan Gabriel was there after
• 25:09
  the thing. And I remember he was sitting
• 25:10
  there when they were doing, when he made his final speech,
• 25:13
  Hunter, he was telling the media during that he says Gente got
• 25:17
  robbed. And I absolutely agree that
• 25:20
  agree with that. I met Gente.
• 25:22
  I had a conversation with him for like 5 minutes and Travis is
• 25:25
  there. He is there.
• 25:26
  That's where look, look, I don't think you see it right over
• 25:29
  here. There's the picture of him right
• 25:30
  there. You like that?
• 25:32
  You like that Chris? I mean, come on, he's going to
• 25:36
  have nightmare. Listen, when you go, when you
• 25:38
  when you're done with the show tonight, go look up Travis the
• 25:41
  Gremlin hunter. I'm the one who gave him that
• 25:43
  nickname. It's all over social media.
• 25:46
  I gave him that nickname. I even got a jersey in the back
• 25:49
  that says the gremlin on the back of it.
• 25:51
  His jersey Jacksonville Jack was the Gremlin and we're going to
• 25:54
  have somebody on our show in a very few weeks and who we have
• 25:58
  on Foraya Luke and it was their defensive captain linebacker
• 26:01
  Foraya Lukein, who's been on a show before he's a great friend
• 26:04
  of the show and he's one of the best linebackers in the NFL
• 26:07
  right now. I mean he's he's been that for
• 26:09
  the last five years. One of the best tacklers.
• 26:12
  I I'm I'm interested to hear what he thinks about his his
• 26:16
  buddy Travis Hunter because I don't like him I met him I had a
• 26:19
  conversation with him and I just didn't like his personnel.
• 26:22
  I didn't like anything about him.
• 26:23
  I didn't. And then when and he was
• 26:25
  telling, he was telling, I think it was, I think it was Ward.
• 26:29
  He was telling Ward. And I, by the way, if you watch
• 26:31
  the Ward documentary on what is it?
• 26:36
  What's that? Timo, Timo, Timo the third, the
• 26:40
  third episode, when he was at the Heisman, the Heisman dinner,
• 26:43
  I was there. I actually have a video of me in
• 26:45
  there. So I was, I was the last guy.
• 26:47
  Yeah, it's pretty funny. And I was one of the last, I I
• 26:50
  was the one standing at Ward. I was asking all the questions
• 26:54
  during during the interview, so it was funny and I asked Ward.
• 26:57
  I said what do you think about your boy over there who's going
• 27:01
  to be a well, I didn't know he's going to be a brown, but Shador,
• 27:05
  and he says I'm better than Shador.
• 27:06
  Shador is one of the most overrated players.
• 27:09
  It's so funny because Shadora is now going to be playing in the
• 27:13
  Pro Bowl. It makes no.
• 27:15
  Sense. It makes absolutely no sense
• 27:18
  that a third string quarterback, honestly a fourth string fourth
• 27:22
  string quarterback before the season even started because
• 27:24
  Kenny Pickett was there as playing in a Pro Bowl who only
• 27:28
  played what, three games this year, 4 games?
• 27:30
  I mean, it's ridiculous. The NFL is just absolutely
• 27:33
  bogus. I don't understand.
• 27:34
  But I'm not talking about them. I got to get more into what what
• 27:37
  I think about you. And so you have a chance now,
• 27:40
  depending on the coach, you have a chance to win a bigger and
• 27:44
  more prestige position here with the the Raiders.
• 27:47
  What are you going to do this offseason to get you to that
• 27:49
  point? Where you going to to make that
• 27:51
  next step? Obviously, you know, I got back
• 27:54
  to it early. I mean, as soon as I got back, I
• 27:56
  didn't really have any rest period that I need to have
• 27:59
  because, you know, I didn't really play as much this season.
• 28:03
  So I got back to it, back on my morning routine.
• 28:06
  I live in the gym. I love the gym.
• 28:08
  So do I I love being on the field.
• 28:10
  Yeah, you'd already know how it. Is I love the.
• 28:12
  Gym therapy. It's therapy.
• 28:14
  Dude, I do maybe we have a push up contest.
• 28:16
  I mean, I do 3000 push ups every single week.
• 28:20
  I do 12,000. So Herschel Walker has been
• 28:23
  known to do the calisthenic workout.
• 28:25
  So I follow a lot of his training, you know, methods And
• 28:28
  I I'm also I lift. I do that, but I don't lift like
• 28:31
  I used to. I used to bench like 375.
• 28:34
  That was the most I've ever benched.
• 28:35
  I did that, by the way, just so everybody knows, I did 375 in my
• 28:39
  strong points 7-8 times, so I'm pretty.
• 28:42
  Strong. I'm pretty.
• 28:43
  Strong guy, so I'm doing 3000. Push ups.
• 28:47
  I am I'm a pretty strong guy. I still to this day I do now I
• 28:50
  made AI made a bet. Who did I make a bet with What
• 28:53
  would NFL savior Woods savior woods now I said that I told
• 28:57
  Xavier Woods that he was on a show.
• 28:59
  I said to him, I said I could do 222525 times off my chest maybe
• 29:04
  even hit 30 and he says I'd I love to see that.
• 29:06
  I said how many could you do? I could do 10.
• 29:08
  I said dude I'll burn 10 easily off my chest 225, So that's a.
• 29:13
  Different type than. Does yeah, yeah, I told him, he
• 29:16
  says. I got to see this.
• 29:18
  I got to see if you could do that.
• 29:19
  It's like, would you give me 15,000?
• 29:22
  He says. I'm not going to give you.
• 29:23
  That out of 30. But, but Xavier Woods is a good
• 29:29
  dude, man. He was a really good interview
• 29:31
  and he had a great personality. But, and you're, you're, you're
• 29:33
  a Long Island guy and, and I love that about you.
• 29:36
  I love that your your work ethic and and really the understanding
• 29:40
  of what it takes to get to that next level is special and, and,
• 29:43
  and to be chosen to play in the NFL and make the roster where
• 29:49
  there's maybe I think, what is IT250250 players?
• 29:52
  What is it like? In the.
• 29:54
  League in the league that get a chance to play every single
• 29:57
  season you're one of those 250 people that's amazing that's
• 30:02
  that is something that no even if you never play another snap
• 30:05
  in your the rest of your career, that's something you can tell
• 30:09
  your kids that's something. You can tell my grandkids.
• 30:11
  Yeah, that's something you can tell everybody.
• 30:14
  What is it like knowing that you're one of the best in the
• 30:17
  world at your position? Just blessed, man.
• 30:19
  You know, I, I'm a real humble guy.
• 30:22
  I don't really think of it in that way, to be honest.
• 30:25
  Like I always think like I have more work to do.
• 30:28
  Obviously see the guys in front of me and obviously want to get
• 30:30
  on that, that field. So but when you put in that
• 30:34
  perspective, it makes you look back and be like, damn, like
• 30:37
  this is really a blessing is one of guys, guys grace grabs mercy
• 30:41
  because of what I've been through in terms of like my knee
• 30:44
  injury. You know how I have to go to the
• 30:45
  JUCO route, how when I went D1, it didn't really work out.
• 30:49
  So I stepped down a level and humble myself, put the pride
• 30:52
  aside and go down a level and just try to ball out.
• 30:55
  And he made a way when it just seemed like there was no way
• 30:58
  honestly. And that's just how I have to
• 31:00
  look at it. And I thank you for those words,
• 31:04
  man. No, it's listen, man, I I think
• 31:06
  what, what's what's so understanding about players and
• 31:09
  athletes is you only get to do this in a short time and and to
• 31:14
  work so hard to get to that. The highest level is special.
• 31:18
  And I, I don't, it was the one thing that I always wanted to
• 31:21
  do. And and to this day it bothers
• 31:23
  that. I mean, I screwed my that up,
• 31:25
  but I got that wasn't my plan from God.
• 31:27
  My plan from God was to do this. And I believe that one way or
• 31:30
  another, and I'll say it again, that I'm as good as anybody in
• 31:34
  this industry for what I do. And, and I believe that I'm
• 31:36
  going to get to that next level and at the highest level.
• 31:39
  And I'm going to be considered from, from all those other guys,
• 31:42
  from the Stephen A Smith's to the Pat Mcafee's to all those
• 31:44
  jock, jock asses. Or I don't want to say, I don't
• 31:48
  want to say the other word, but jock asses because I, I'll tell
• 31:51
  you this man, I don't, I'm not fake.
• 31:53
  Everything about this show is real.
• 31:55
  All my guys that are on it from fish.
• 31:57
  To. Speedy to Jobby, everybody, all
• 32:00
  the guys, the interns that we have, all the guys that work
• 32:02
  with us, we all are real. We're we're not, we're not here
• 32:06
  for the sake of just doing a podcast.
• 32:08
  Hold your podcast, Darrell. I mean, this isn't a podcast.
• 32:11
  This is this is a top 200 show in the country.
• 32:13
  It's been that way for the last six months.
• 32:16
  We can compete against any one of those guys.
• 32:17
  And we don't even have the backing the ESPNCBS and the NFL
• 32:21
  networks have. As a matter of fact, we beat out
• 32:23
  the biggest NFL podcast in December at 170.
• 32:28
  We were ranked 117 in the country and we were beating out
• 32:32
  podcast that the NFL are putting out there and promoting and with
• 32:36
  all the money behind it. So that's just a lot about who
• 32:39
  we are and what we do and how hard are we work.
• 32:41
  So I know what it is to take and what it is 13 years of doing
• 32:44
  this. And and to this day, I want I
• 32:46
  want to be I want to be put into the position and you know, I'm
• 32:49
  dealing with agents and stuff like that.
• 32:51
  And I think agents are fake. I think they're all fake and and
• 32:54
  I'm telling the truth. They're.
• 32:56
  Real fake man. They're real fake.
• 32:58
  I I could talk to dude I've talked to in the last past three
• 33:03
  months, I've talked about 10 agents and they're all give me
• 33:06
  their and I and I, I know what they're going to say to me
• 33:11
  before they say it. As a matter of fact, I can mimic
• 33:13
  exactly what they're going to ask me.
• 33:15
  And you know what it is is you you guys don't want to work.
• 33:19
  Agents don't want to work. Agents just want to take
• 33:23
  whatever is there that is already in position and they
• 33:25
  want to build it up so they can make more money when they don't
• 33:28
  realize what there's a diamond in the rough.
• 33:30
  And that's what I look at when I talk to all these different
• 33:32
  athletes over the years that have eventually become
• 33:34
  successful is they're a diamond in a rough.
• 33:37
  They're they're looked at is the small little fish in a sea with
• 33:41
  big fish and you got to drive as a fish.
• 33:44
  You, you got to be Nemo and and you got to you got to find your
• 33:48
  father, But you know, you got to get to that.
• 33:50
  You got to get to the stop and, and, and make sure that you
• 33:53
  don't bump into a shark. And that's what I think agents
• 33:55
  are. They're sharks, They're sharks.
• 33:58
  And I, I want people to understand that it's not easy to
• 34:01
  get to the top. You got to work your ass off and
• 34:04
  you got to go through these trials and tribulations as an
• 34:07
  athlete, as a radio broadcast. And people ask me, I've been on
• 34:10
  shows, Chris and they ask me, well, how do I get to that point
• 34:14
  with you? Like, and I'm, I'm, I'm a, I'm a
• 34:16
  nobody's like you're my favorite broadcaster.
• 34:19
  And, and I said what that means a lot to me.
• 34:21
  And, and, and I, they interview me and they ask me questions and
• 34:24
  I say, listen, if you ever need help, you ever want to, if you
• 34:27
  ever have a question, you need anything for me to help you, I'm
• 34:30
  going to do that. I will do whatever it takes to
• 34:32
  help you get where you want to go just as well as I, you know,
• 34:36
  anybody in this industry should do to anybody.
• 34:38
  But in this, in this industry, it's cutthroat.
• 34:42
  Nobody wants to help you. Nobody wants to do anything
• 34:44
  because they're afraid of you. And it's the same thing with
• 34:46
  you. You're a kid no matter what.
• 34:48
  You got five guys in that running, running backroom and
• 34:51
  you're friends with all of them. But you're competing.
• 34:54
  You're competing for play time. And that's what we do.
• 34:57
  We compete for obviously analytics, we compete for, for a
• 35:02
  really, you know, notoriety. And I don't think we get enough
• 35:05
  of it like we should because I think I'll put us against
• 35:08
  anybody in the country. If Stephen A Smith ever wants to
• 35:11
  come on this show and go one-on-one with me, I will burn
• 35:14
  a hole in his ass and I'll give him 2.
• 35:16
  Holes. He could be all fishing in the
• 35:18
  other one. We'll stick a string in one of
• 35:20
  them so we can tie him to a hook when we're done.
• 35:22
  Hey, the two holes. Jobless favorites.
• 35:23
  That's right. That's right.
• 35:25
  Yes. I got the bubble guts.
• 35:27
  I have to take a shit as he always says, you know, but I,
• 35:30
  I'll tell you man, I, I, I appreciate you dude.
• 35:33
  I, I do and let's stay in touch. I'll have speedy get your
• 35:35
  information. Let's be in touch, man.
• 35:38
  I, I, I think it's a great story and we work with a lot of 495
• 35:42
  elite guys. And then whenever you come, if
• 35:43
  you ever want to talk and you want to speak to these kids, I
• 35:46
  can work. I can, I can work on something
• 35:48
  like that. These some of the the best young
• 35:51
  Long Island guys that have come. The Jets have a tight end that
• 35:53
  came from Long Island is. Is.
• 35:56
  Jeremy Rucker, who's you know from what is it?
• 36:00
  Lindenhurst, Lindenhurst, Long Island.
• 36:02
  And he's playing for the team that he rooted for since he was
• 36:05
  a kid. He was drafted by that team and
• 36:06
  he played for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 36:08
  So and he's getting a chance and, and he's still on the team,
• 36:11
  he's still on the roster. So why not root for a Long
• 36:13
  Islander? I always do.
• 36:15
  And I, I want you, I want you guys to be successful because if
• 36:18
  you're successful, people going to look this way and say,
• 36:21
  listen, this is a place to go. This is a place.
• 36:24
  Place to get kids. That's right.
• 36:26
  And work and and train and, and, and get an opportunity to
• 36:29
  succeed. And like I said, there's a lot
• 36:31
  of people in this world that will never get into the point or
• 36:35
  at that point where you're at today.
• 36:37
  And the OR story behind it is, is unique, special, and you
• 36:42
  should be really proud of yourself and, and tell your
• 36:44
  father and your mother that you know, I, I, I don't even know
• 36:47
  you. I could tell you're a good kid.
• 36:49
  And I know your father pushed you, man.
• 36:51
  My father's gone. He's been gone for 10 years,
• 36:53
  man. And one thing my father told me
• 36:54
  before, before he passed away, he said, you're great at what
• 36:57
  you do. And he said he came here and he
• 36:59
  watched me do it. He said, great, you're great at
• 37:01
  my father passed away and he rest in peace.
• 37:02
  And he told me, thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 37:06
  I do this for him every single day.
• 37:09
  I do this for him every single day because he told me don't
• 37:12
  ever quit. Go out there.
• 37:13
  Do do what you do and and and all great things are going to
• 37:17
  happen. So and that's why I still do it,
• 37:19
  man. That's why I still do it.
• 37:20
  So compete be the best. You know that's it.
• 37:24
  I'm a competitor, baby. Smack that speedy smack that I'm
• 37:29
  not smacking anything. Well, you like to smack beef,
• 37:31
  right? No, I don't.
• 37:32
  You like to eat beef that's different.
• 37:34
  Well, you like sausages. Yes.
• 37:37
  You like it dry? White, Black.
• 37:39
  What? Do you like it spicy?
• 37:40
  Spicy and what? Dark.
• 37:42
  There you go. Dark and spicy.
• 37:44
  There you go. Chris.
• 37:44
  Can you tell him? Chris, can you tell him?
• 37:46
  There's a physical difference between smacking something and
• 37:50
  eating something? I don't know.
• 37:51
  I mean, there's a lot of ways of doing it if you don't.
• 37:53
  Oh my. God, there's a lot of Oh yeah, I
• 38:03
  must have covered up that heist very well.
• 38:04
  There's no grease on the back. Well, you know, there's many
• 38:10
  ways you could put grease on it if you know what I've made.
• 38:13
  I would hope it's not that way, but OK.
• 38:16
  Anyways, man, we love you, man. Let's stay in touch.
• 38:20
  And of course, brother, congratulations, man.
• 38:22
  Have a good season, have a good offseason, and we'll talk.
• 38:25
  I'll reach out to you. We'll talk.
• 38:27
  Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir.
• 38:28
  Yeah, let me know about that. I'd love to do that for those
• 38:30
  kids. Absolutely.
• 38:31
  I'll, I'll work. I'll work and I'll talk to Ben.
• 38:33
  Ben Carrie. He runs 495 Elite and Gerald
• 38:36
  Filardi, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and won two
• 38:38
  national championships at for Penn State.
• 38:41
  So I'll talk to them. If you're out here.
• 38:44
  Let's get that going. I'll work on that.
• 38:46
  Let's do it, man. All right, man, Chris Collier,
• 38:49
  ladies and gentlemen. Come on.
• 38:51
  Give him a golf clap, sweetie. Don't pull any sausages out
• 38:54
  tonight. No sausages.
• 38:56
  All right, Chris Collier. Chris, we love you, man.
• 38:59
  Chris Collier, ladies and gentlemen, wonderful, wonderful
• 39:02
  interview. He is a great kid special and
• 39:06
  and you could tell that the kid is to me, he has that it factor
• 39:11
  that you want an athlete to have the the the work ethic in the
• 39:15
  understanding what it takes to get to that next level.
• 39:17
  It is it's an amazing story. I was reading a story before the
• 39:19
  show. I everybody asked me, do you
• 39:21
  actually read, you know, before you get the yes, mostly never do
• 39:25
  that, ladies and gentlemen, I don't do it.
• 39:27
  But when I want to get to know somebody that's from my, my, my
• 39:31
  town, my, my, my city, my you know, where I'm from, I want to
• 39:36
  know everything about this kid. And, and to me, I don't care if
• 39:40
  he never plays another snap in the NFL.
• 39:41
  To be a part of a roster where there are only 250 players
• 39:45
  getting picked every single year to play in the NFL.
• 39:48
  That is an amazing story for a guy that had to work so hard and
• 39:51
  blew out his knee and to get to that next level, it is amazing.
• 39:54
  And, and I think he would be an inspirational speech taker to
• 39:59
  the OR speech maker to these kids.
• 40:01
  And I, I think I'm going to work on that.
• 40:03
  I'll talk to Ben, get his number and I'm going to, I'm going to.
• 40:08
  I'm going to bring Chris Collier over there to talk to the kids.
• 40:11
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, save your tears.
• 40:13
  Recap. Mom, what's one thing that you
• 40:17
  can't talk to me about? My sexual fantasies.
• 40:22
  Say your sorry. It is not ideal, but if it's
• 40:24
  what it is, not ideal. But if it is not ideal, but if
• 40:27
  it is, what mean? You can't treble stamp a double
• 40:30
  stamp, You can't treble stamp a double stamp Lloyd.
• 40:32
  You can't dribble stamp a double stamp, but you.
• 40:37
  Guys, it's time for save your tears because.
• 40:41
  They don't have. Tongues.
• 40:45
  Oh God. All right, guys, welcome.
• 40:47
  To save your tears. Oh, you almost lost your voice.
• 40:50
  Anyone. I have lost my voice.
• 40:53
  Let's take this down. I came up with a better way to
• 40:55
  do this. We're going to put it up in a
• 40:57
  second. Just want everybody to know that
• 40:59
  this was the last. Save your tears of the NFL
• 41:04
  season. Can't really do it with only one
• 41:06
  game. You need multiple games to get
• 41:07
  enough guys. We will bring this back for
• 41:10
  football if you just join us. This is the compliment chorus
• 41:14
  section of the game. If Tommy, if you're coming.
• 41:17
  In with the camera. Come on.
• 41:18
  In we're going to go reveal the winner of the last Savior tears
• 41:23
  and the first one just like the last one, the winners, the great
• 41:28
  speedy PD with just the sweep of the season and postseason.
• 41:34
  I actually eighty place. 83 point O 6 the win.
• 41:40
  Our guy Ferguson let you down, though.
• 41:43
  Ferguson had one target. He did not catch it.
• 41:47
  There were the biggest let down was the booty.
• 41:51
  Mr. Booty had six. Errol you were talking about
• 41:53
  earlier inaccuracies from Drake. May 1 catch on 6 targets for
• 41:59
  Booty for like 6 yards and that's all it gave them there.
• 42:03
  Devante Adams and Puka Nicole was the way to go.
• 42:06
  Speedy. Both guys dominated again, just
• 42:10
  a great offensive display wasn't enough.
• 42:13
  Errol, you were right to take Kenneth Walker.
• 42:15
  The third notes. Jack Charbonnet, he got all the
• 42:19
  carries. What a great performance he had
• 42:22
  in that win, taking them to the Super Bowl.
• 42:24
  Sam Darnold just a little bit behind Stafford in the stats.
• 42:27
  So it was kind of a good use of your money not to take Stafford
• 42:31
  in that one, but Speedy prevailed nonetheless.
• 42:34
  Let's go through the compliment chorus.
• 42:36
  I did absolutely terrible. I will go first that.
• 42:40
  Was years ago. All right, here we go.
• 42:44
  Speedy. You know, I don't know what
• 42:48
  lessons one is to glean from the performance of the ages that you
• 42:55
  just put on. I would say start to finish,
• 42:58
  this was like irrelevant If that Patriots team never ran into
• 43:02
  Michael Strahan and Tom Coughlin's Giants and had a
• 43:06
  perfect season, just unstoppable.
• 43:09
  It it it was like, you know what Giselle said Tom Brady couldn't
• 43:13
  do, which was throw the ball to himself and score.
• 43:16
  You were able to do that all season long and save your tears.
• 43:20
  Just a remarkable performance. Congratulations.
• 43:24
  Not every could be as good as Marcus Mariota throwing the ball
• 43:26
  themselves and catching. That's not.
• 43:30
  All right. I think Tommy, you're next,
• 43:35
  Speedy. Man, you know, I would say it's
• 43:39
  tiring to come on here every week and have to say my.
• 43:43
  Kudos to you. For having to get the work done
• 43:46
  over and save your tears. But then take a shit.
• 43:48
  I couldn't be happier that it's anybody else as dominant as you
• 43:50
  were this year. And save your tears man, you
• 43:53
  really deserve it. You really know your thing when
• 43:55
  it comes to football. You really know your anal.
• 43:58
  Picking the guys that know how to how to perform week in and
• 44:01
  week out. It's loose.
• 44:03
  I'm glad that you are the one that is reigning supreme.
• 44:06
  Poor back whore bag. Congrats men.
• 44:10
  All right, I guess Nathan wants to be added in because he always
• 44:12
  be a compliment from the previous week.
• 44:14
  A big boob, I can tell you that. Even though I missed last week,
• 44:18
  I'm still going to give compliments to our guys.
• 44:21
  You over here, Speedy. First of all, Congrats again.
• 44:25
  Obviously, I don't know how you do it.
• 44:26
  I got to learn more from you. Your numbers guy, your stats
• 44:30
  guy. Breaking news, smell my ass so,
• 44:33
  but Congrats, breaking news. A lot of hot ladies.
• 44:38
  Breaking news. Do you want to jerk me off?
• 44:41
  Breaking news. I got to go back off now.
• 44:46
  Well I Congrats. Well deserved.
• 44:50
  There you go. Combination of that plus the
• 44:56
  soundboard did it. It works.
• 44:58
  Suck my indo I love Lisa Ann. Oh yeah, that would be perfect.
• 45:09
  This graphic will be perfect for two segments from.
• 45:10
  Now I need a blow pop. It's true.
• 45:18
  Blow my back out. All right, all right, Speedy.
• 45:21
  All right, Errol, you're up less to go.
• 45:23
  All right, Speedy, here's what I'm going to say.
• 45:26
  I, you know, obviously you're my protege, a guy that I've worked
• 45:30
  with over the years. You've been around for 10 years
• 45:33
  almost this year will be 11 years.
• 45:35
  You've been working with me and you've been one of the guys that
• 45:39
  I've always depended on. Now there are things sometimes
• 45:41
  that I wonder if you forget things and you're, you're lost
• 45:44
  in translation. It's, it's amazing your analytic
• 45:46
  power of understanding and, and you know, you can go back 20
• 45:50
  years and tell me a score of the game and who had what and what
• 45:53
  have what, but you know, 2 weeks later you won't remember what I
• 45:56
  told you. So you're, you're analytically,
• 45:59
  you're one of the you have one of the best gifts.
• 46:02
  If you're a sports fan and you want to go to somebody to ask
• 46:05
  him a question off the head, is the guy to go to anything else
• 46:09
  Ron for your life? There he is.
• 46:11
  There's Jabba Jazz. That's that's actually a homage
• 46:14
  to one of our comments. Robba.
• 46:16
  I am definitely. Not going to be the best.
• 46:18
  Kisser Kisser on the show Spencer Guppy 9457 Whoever,
• 46:22
  whoever you are. I ram you.
• 46:24
  I would give, I would give that edge possibly to Nithin, who
• 46:26
  loves his hot ladies as he always says.
• 46:29
  But I, you know, Speedy, I, you know, everything that you've
• 46:32
  done, all the work that you put into I, I respect that.
• 46:36
  And that's one of the reasons why I continue.
• 46:38
  I tell you this all the time. There are times that I, for
• 46:41
  years, I wanted to walk away cuz this is a lot of work.
• 46:43
  I don't think people understand. Everybody does a podcast.
• 46:46
  This is not just a podcast, it's a lot of work.
• 46:49
  And when, when you go out there and you, you want to entertain
• 46:51
  people and, and, and do the work that you do, Everybody can put a
• 46:55
  podcast out there, But to put a great product out there, it
• 46:58
  takes time. It takes work, it takes on
• 47:01
  understanding, on working with a bunch of personalities.
• 47:04
  It's not easy. And it one at one point, I'm not
• 47:08
  going to lie to you guys, two years ago, I wanted to walk
• 47:10
  away. And, and one of the reasons why
• 47:12
  is I I hate the way this industry works when it comes to
• 47:15
  treating people. And, and one of the main reasons
• 47:18
  why I didn't leave and I haven't walked away from this industry
• 47:21
  is because of him is because I know that all the, all the
• 47:26
  trials and tribulations I've been through, he's been there
• 47:28
  and all the work without, without the time and effort that
• 47:32
  I've put into this and, and where we're going to go in this
• 47:35
  industry. If I walk away, he loses his
• 47:38
  opportunity to get there. And that's what pushes me to
• 47:40
  move forward with this. So I, that's why and that's the
• 47:43
  truth. And we talk about this all the
• 47:45
  time, Speedy. So I, you know, I love you.
• 47:47
  You're a pain in the ass, but I love you and you deserve a lot
• 47:50
  of credit for all the work that you do Appreciate it.
• 47:54
  All right, job. Welcome back.
• 47:56
  What way? We're we're cooking now.
• 47:58
  We're cooking. That's awesome.
• 48:00
  You may as well get it. Get it out of the way.
• 48:03
  You beat only me. That streaks in my britch years.
• 48:07
  Speedy The. Booty was not the.
• 48:10
  Speedy ran the gauntlet regular season postseason.
• 48:14
  I gave up give booty there. We're not going to do any more.
• 48:17
  Save your tears for football for the Super Bowl.
• 48:20
  So it's going to have to be basketball.
• 48:21
  Probably pick up around the All Star break.
• 48:23
  I'll let you lick my butt with. NBA save that a level that a
• 48:27
  level the playing the field. I only the only time I ever won
• 48:30
  the pulled it out of basketball was with the hockey basketball
• 48:32
  hybrid. Pulled it out of my ass.
• 48:35
  Yeah, we're going to try to avoid that, but let's let's not
• 48:38
  avoid this any longer. Java give speedy.
• 48:41
  Some compliments Speedy coming in and I will, I will piggyback
• 48:46
  off of kind of what Errol said. You guys have taught me so much.
• 48:51
  You, you are somebody that I never realized how smart
• 48:57
  somebody can be in the things that you've done and how it's
• 49:01
  how it's made this show great. And Errol and I have talked
• 49:03
  about this and we didn't know if we were going to work.
• 49:06
  We didn't know how that was going to happen.
• 49:09
  And we've not only built a relationship as what we are, but
• 49:14
  we've built it bigger and that's where it's going to go.
• 49:17
  And Speedy, you, you are a huge backbone of everything that we
• 49:21
  do. And, and I know you'll never
• 49:23
  give yourself credit, but understand it's small and we see
• 49:29
  it and we know it. And we, we want you to
• 49:33
  understand that that you are a huge conglomerate and a huge
• 49:37
  component of what we do. And it just goes to show when
• 49:42
  you kick our ass every time and all these because you are
• 49:47
  smarter than us and you do so much that will will not get
• 49:52
  credit for. But we want you to know that and
• 49:56
  we care for you. And as much as we give you crap,
• 50:02
  like we love you dearly. And I'm, I'm learning to love
• 50:05
  you more and more every day and I can't beat you at anything.
• 50:09
  So I might as well, you know, I might as well give you the
• 50:12
  praise you deserve because you're going to kick our butt in
• 50:15
  all of it. So.
• 50:16
  Big boobs, I can tell you that. Oh.
• 50:19
  Gosh, I mean, one day we'll have to have like a like a carnival
• 50:24
  day where we, we literally all get together and like do like
• 50:27
  dizzy bats. Jabba liked my shrimp cocktail.
• 50:30
  Like wiffle ball, like knucklers and stuff like that.
• 50:33
  Really want to see Speedy Wiffle ball off of you or something
• 50:38
  like that. I think it.
• 50:38
  Would be 1 of you. Greatest sporting events that
• 50:42
  nobody ever thought of. And even in that event if it's
• 50:45
  in. The.
• 50:48
  Well, thumb up my ass. Luck has nothing to do with it
• 50:50
  when we talk about our champion Speedy PD.
• 50:53
  Yes, and you're not allowed to cry about it and save your
• 50:56
  tears. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 50:59
  are what what we going to say first?
• 51:00
  Of all, great segment with Chris.
• 51:02
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 51:03
  Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
• 51:05
  You know, what it is, is when you do this such a long time,
• 51:08
  everybody asks me. It's funny, everybody has asked
• 51:11
  me over the years. You've interviewed so many
• 51:13
  people. How do you do it and how do you
• 51:15
  do it? It's crazy.
• 51:16
  It becomes second nature to you when you do it.
• 51:18
  But you have to do it in a way. You have to be unique and
• 51:21
  different. And I always try to do that.
• 51:23
  And that's my personality and the way I work.
• 51:28
  And Speedy always tells me he's like, I can't do what you could
• 51:30
  do. But he said, but it, it's not
• 51:32
  about what you guys can do what I can do, it's, it's you guys
• 51:36
  got to be that other factor in the interview.
• 51:39
  And, and that's what Speedy does.
• 51:41
  And that's what Java does. I don't have to be as good as
• 51:43
  me. You just have to work with me
• 51:44
  and be able to work with me. That's it.
• 51:46
  That's, that's, that's the hardest part of interviewing
• 51:48
  people is understanding how you, you can make them laugh and make
• 51:52
  them feel comfortable so they can open up to you.
• 51:53
  So and that's that's the most important thing.
• 51:56
  So and that's Chris. Chris was, he could tell he
• 51:59
  wasn't, he was uncomfortable in the beginning, but he was
• 52:01
  laughing and then he kind of just felt like he was part of
• 52:04
  the boys and and that's when you can get so much out of them and
• 52:07
  you saw that in his personality. So Chris was great and I
• 52:12
  appreciate him joining us. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 52:15
  we call this the whip around. The whip, whip, whip around.
• 52:24
  What a smack it speedy, smack it again.
• 52:27
  There's a difference between smacking and eating.
• 52:31
  Yes, there is. There certainly is a difference.
• 52:35
  My rear end is. But welcome to the whip around.
• 52:39
  Yes, we got a few stories to talk about in the NFL besides
• 52:43
  the championship games. We're going to do those pretty
• 52:45
  quickly here kind of round the table.
• 52:48
  Steelers that made their decision.
• 52:50
  Errol, you were super high on Mike McCarthy, very much so this
• 52:54
  offseason hiring cycle. He is now the new head coach of
• 52:58
  the Steelers. It looked like it was going this
• 53:01
  way pretty early on. A lot of people pulled their
• 53:05
  names out of contention for the Steelers.
• 53:07
  McCarthy joins them now. The interesting thing about
• 53:10
  McCarthy joining them is they just let go Tomlin, who has
• 53:14
  almost the exact profile of McCarthy, who gets to the
• 53:19
  playoffs every year but loses in the first round, had the one win
• 53:23
  earlier on, had the great quarterback that helped them do
• 53:26
  it at the time. What do you think about this new
• 53:29
  hire for the Steelers? Here's here's a fact, Aaron
• 53:31
  Rodgers is still there and that could be a factor right there
• 53:34
  because he understands how to coach Aaron Rodgers.
• 53:37
  I believe McCarthy, one of the main reasons why he got the job
• 53:40
  is because I believe the Pittsburgh Steelers reached out
• 53:43
  to Aaron Rodgers and said said to him and asked him if if this
• 53:46
  would be a good fit over there before they made this move.
• 53:48
  I believe Aaron Rodgers is going to be back next year and that
• 53:51
  was one of the main reasons. This guy is one of the best
• 53:53
  offensive minds in the NFL. He's been one of the best
• 53:56
  offensive minds. He's developed Aaron Rodgers, he
• 53:58
  developed Dak Prescott. This is a guy that can really
• 54:02
  transform the the Pittsburgh Steelers offense.
• 54:05
  This has always been an organization for great defenses.
• 54:08
  They've been up and down with their offensive side of the
• 54:10
  ball. Now you have a guy that's the
• 54:12
  mastermind of a lot of offense and and offenses.
• 54:15
  He comes from a very unique tree of great coaches, and this is a
• 54:20
  guy that's going to accomplish a lot over there with the
• 54:22
  Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a slam dunk.
• 54:24
  I love it. The Giant should have hired him
• 54:26
  because I think he would have helped Jackson dart better than
• 54:28
  John Harble. I said this.
• 54:30
  And this guy, whoever they bring in as their backup quarterback,
• 54:32
  a rookie quarterback, I could see the Pittsburgh Steelers
• 54:35
  drafting tie in this draft, letting him sit out for a year
• 54:39
  or two, let him learn on to him, and he would be a perfect fit
• 54:42
  over there with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 54:44
  I think it's a slam dunk. Great move.
• 54:46
  Yeah. And you also look at the
• 54:47
  potential, even if it's not a first round quarterback of a
• 54:49
  second or third round quarterback that might be a
• 54:50
  little more raw. You got Carson back, Carson back
• 54:52
  as possible. You get that.
• 54:54
  You got that kind of thing. Now, granted, Dak Prosko is
• 54:56
  always some already somewhat developed, but Dak Prosko went
• 54:58
  to another level with Mike McCarthy.
• 54:59
  He was probably an average quarterback before that.
• 55:01
  And now he was top five, top ten and Aaron Rodgers obviously
• 55:04
  sitting him the same way to under Brett Favre.
• 55:07
  If Aaron Rodgers does stay there or not, it's a it's a really
• 55:09
  good move. The other reason I like it too
• 55:10
  is for DK Metcalf to get another level 2.
• 55:12
  Mike McCarthy is always great with bigger bodied receivers in
• 55:15
  Green Bay and Metcalf, while he's good, I think there's
• 55:17
  something missing in his game. And I think McCarthy, you get
• 55:19
  this to another. For me, it's a you brought that
• 55:24
  speedy too. I think it's a little of the the
• 55:27
  aspect of what Aaron Rodgers had to do from Cal is sit behind
• 55:32
  Rodgers and become what he is. Do you think that was kind of
• 55:38
  the thinking of bringing him in if Rodgers is still going to be
• 55:41
  around and and still productive? Not saying he's the Aaron
• 55:44
  Rodgers of what he was. Somewhere in between that though
• 55:48
  he was, he was decent this year but still left a lot on the
• 55:51
  table and I think obviously his peak is one of the best ever and
• 55:54
  I think you'll get somewhere in between that now with not Arthur
• 55:56
  Smith coaching you. Right, but you're now you're
• 55:59
  going to get a guy that like, OK, you're going to get him, but
• 56:03
  he's he's going to be able to teach and and see the way that
• 56:06
  kind of he did thing and sit behind one of the greatest and
• 56:11
  now him transferring and transpiring and to be one of the
• 56:15
  greatest now have that kind of dynamic.
• 56:18
  Do you think that bringing in McCarthy is is the right move?
• 56:23
  100%? I don't know if it's the sexiest
• 56:25
  move. I don't, I don't know.
• 56:27
  It was the sexiest move of all the coaches that are available
• 56:30
  right now. It absolutely is.
• 56:32
  And I'm going to tell you this right now, I as much as every
• 56:34
  Giant fan likes John Harbaugh, this is the guy that can develop
• 56:39
  quarterbacks. It's proven.
• 56:41
  It's proven. It's, it's on a piece of paper.
• 56:44
  John, John Harbaugh, he didn't I, I the development of
• 56:48
  quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson had those gifts.
• 56:50
  They built their they built their offense around Lamar
• 56:53
  Jackson. It's not like he made Lamar
• 56:56
  Jackson change his game. They built their offense around
• 56:59
  him. So I'm not saying John Harbold
• 57:01
  might not succeed, but I think McCarthy was the guy.
• 57:04
  So I, I, I love this move. This is a great move for the
• 57:07
  Pittsburgh Steelers. And they look outside of the
• 57:10
  box. They always hire defensive
• 57:12
  minded coaches. Go look at the past.
• 57:14
  Every one of those guys, defensive minded coaches, they
• 57:17
  finally brought an offensive minded guy that I is, is, is
• 57:20
  Tomlin's successor and a guy that has experience.
• 57:22
  That's a slam dunk. Excited about the culture
• 57:24
  building? I think the Giants need it.
• 57:26
  I don't think McCarthy is a culture builder.
• 57:28
  You're wrong. You're wrong.
• 57:29
  Well, I saw what happened in Dallas.
• 57:31
  What are you talking about, Dallas?
• 57:32
  They had three seasons with 12. Wins.
• 57:34
  I don't know, but when was the last time, When was the last
• 57:37
  time the Giants did that? At the end?
• 57:38
  When was the last time? What happened?
• 57:40
  What? What do you mean?
• 57:41
  When I see what happened? It happens to teams.
• 57:43
  They they get trying. They got that had nothing to do
• 57:46
  with Mike McCarthy. If you know anything about the
• 57:48
  Dallas Cowboys, it was the defensive side of the ball.
• 57:51
  There was stuff going on in the locker room with the defensive
• 57:53
  side of the ball. You're wrong, fish, you're
• 57:55
  wrong. Look, no ones ever going to
• 57:57
  question Mike Mccarthys. Offensive skills.
• 58:00
  I'm just saying as a head coach, just like Tomlin, what has he
• 58:04
  done in the past decade besides get eliminated every year?
• 58:08
  What has Harbolt done in the last decade?
• 58:10
  I'm just. Saying I'm just saying it's
• 58:12
  just. As a Steelers got a fan, I don't
• 58:15
  know how excited I'd be about the hire, but I get I think it's
• 58:18
  I agree. I think it's he's probably the
• 58:20
  best guy left for the best job there is.
• 58:21
  It makes a lot of dude. He's the best coach.
• 58:23
  He's the best coach right now in.
• 58:25
  The AFC North, hands down. Hands down, hands down.
• 58:29
  See how good Jesse Minter? I don't care about Jesse.
• 58:31
  Minter. He's an unproven guy.
• 58:33
  He's an unproven commodity. This guy's a proven commodity
• 58:36
  who won a Super Bowl. And because John Horrible won a
• 58:39
  Super Bowl with not even his own roster, you'll love it.
• 58:43
  Oh, I love it. Yeah.
• 58:44
  You're trying to really do move. I can't wait.
• 58:48
  Move. On Like Bart Scott once said,
• 58:50
  let's go to somebody who is an established commodity.
• 58:53
  Errol. He might end up being the
• 58:55
  defensive coordinator for the New York Jets.
• 58:57
  I love it, Mr. Wink Martindale, former.
• 58:59
  Giants. Giants defensive coordinator.
• 59:03
  That was so. Excited to draft Deonte Banks a
• 59:07
  few years ago, if I remember correctly well, and got into a
• 59:11
  fight I think for a season and a half, but stabbing in the back
• 59:15
  of Brian Dabel and his guys, winks guys.
• 59:18
  Then he went to Michigan. They didn't really win there,
• 59:21
  but the defense was good. Nobody thought it wasn't.
• 59:24
  Everyone knows Wink is a unique defensive play caller.
• 59:28
  Man coverage, press up on guys. I don't care if it's like late
• 59:32
  in the game, I'm not going prevent.
• 59:34
  I'm still bringing it. Try to beat me.
• 59:36
  I'm my guys are going to play this defense no matter what.
• 59:40
  I mean, it seems to fit with the attitude of a guy like Aaron
• 59:45
  Glenn and it might make a lot of sense.
• 59:48
  Back in New York for a second time, just this time in the
• 59:50
  other locker room, I love Wink Martindale I.
• 59:54
  Love them, I love them with the Giants.
• 59:56
  It just so happens him and Dabel couldn't get along and it wasn't
• 1:00:00
  Wink Martindale. If anybody knows the back end of
• 1:00:02
  the story, it was all Dabel. It couldn't get along with any
• 1:00:04
  of his coaches. They fired three coaches after
• 1:00:07
  the second season because he couldn't get along with them
• 1:00:10
  after that. So.
• 1:00:11
  Unfortunately, it wasn't Wick Martindale's fault that they
• 1:00:14
  parted. They parted ways to have them in
• 1:00:16
  the Giants. But if you look at the Giants
• 1:00:18
  and the success of the Giants defenses when he was there, they
• 1:00:21
  were very successful. He's a blitz savvy coordinator,
• 1:00:24
  likes to call blitz packages. He's one of the probably one of
• 1:00:28
  the best in the league when it calls, when it comes to that
• 1:00:30
  package, those kind of packages. And he comes from the Baltimore
• 1:00:33
  Ravens type of style. If you think about it, you talk
• 1:00:36
  about McDonald's, you talk about all the great coaches.
• 1:00:38
  Wick Martindale's a little bit older than McDonald's.
• 1:00:40
  He'll never be a coach. The NFL, I don't know if anybody
• 1:00:43
  will hire Wink because of his personality, but if Aaron Glenn
• 1:00:46
  wants to bring in a guy that gives The Jets that personality
• 1:00:49
  he's looking for, that's the guy.
• 1:00:52
  That's the guy. And that's why I think I know a
• 1:00:54
  lot of people think that The Jets don't have options.
• 1:00:56
  They got options. Wink Martindale has been there
• 1:00:59
  two or three times and they love his interviews.
• 1:01:01
  They're going to hire him. Wink is definitely a slam dunk
• 1:01:04
  move for The Jets. Yeah, it's a 3 four man blitz
• 1:01:07
  type defense. And you were talking about
• 1:01:08
  Deonte Banks earlier. I told you this on the phone or
• 1:01:10
  on the phone or with Leaf when we were out on Friday.
• 1:01:14
  Deonte Banks had a pretty good rookie year because of Wink
• 1:01:16
  Martindale's scheme. He wants to get those corners
• 1:01:18
  more physical. The Jets obviously they traded
• 1:01:20
  Sauce Gardner, but do have some bigger corners.
• 1:01:22
  They're going to draft a corner. They can.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah. The kid from Clemson, they
• 1:01:25
  definitely, yeah. That's AJ Terrell's younger
• 1:01:27
  brother too, which he's a good corner.
• 1:01:28
  I think a lot of people think that that's where The Jets are
• 1:01:31
  looking. So there's definitely a lot of
• 1:01:32
  options that they could go in that way.
• 1:01:34
  But yeah, I think it's another good thing for Will McDonald to
• 1:01:37
  He was better as a three, four guy in college.
• 1:01:39
  He's good at obviously in the NFL so far in four three too,
• 1:01:42
  but I think he has a better chance in that.
• 1:01:43
  And then Jermaine Johnson, if they do keep him, then he was
• 1:01:46
  more of a three, four guy too. I I I think.
• 1:01:51
  You you guys know this better. Than I do, but do you think
• 1:01:55
  culture wise and kind of what he's done and being in the
• 1:01:58
  market before it is is going to help in his dynamic of what he's
• 1:02:02
  trying to create with here here's here's what I'm going to
• 1:02:04
  say. Wink Martindale.
• 1:02:06
  They need a personality in that locker room.
• 1:02:09
  Aaron Glenn's more of a calm, collective guy and he has this
• 1:02:13
  persona about him that he just likes to be who he is.
• 1:02:17
  This guy doesn't give a crap. He goes out there and tells you
• 1:02:19
  how it is and he's going to tell these guys if you don't play for
• 1:02:23
  me, you're not going to play on this roster, you're not going to
• 1:02:25
  play on this team. That's what The Jets need.
• 1:02:26
  They need a drill Sergeant because they didn't have that
• 1:02:29
  this past year. He's that kind of drill
• 1:02:31
  Sergeant. That's why I think in the next
• 1:02:33
  take, why me and Fish are probably going to go back and
• 1:02:35
  forth on where The Jets go at this other position, but I I
• 1:02:38
  think it's a slam dunk move and drop a yes, I think he's a
• 1:02:41
  culture changer. Absolutely.
• 1:02:43
  The other players eat it too because they had the quite the
• 1:02:45
  opposite before that with now Tennessee Titans head coach
• 1:02:47
  Bambi Sala. Oh, please.
• 1:02:49
  And I heard that if Dabel doesn't get that Buffalo Bills
• 1:02:52
  job, he is going to be the offensive coordinator for the
• 1:02:54
  Tennessee Titans. That's why would that be
• 1:02:55
  hilarious? That's what I heard.
• 1:02:57
  Just so you guys know, that's what I heard, Schefner said
• 1:03:01
  that, well, there's before we move away from The Jets.
• 1:03:03
  I didn't make it a separate. Graphic for it.
• 1:03:05
  Yeah, that's fine. I thought, Errol, that the most
• 1:03:07
  important thing that The Jets were missing this year was that
• 1:03:11
  captain of the defense, that CJ Mosley position doesn't have to
• 1:03:15
  be, you know, like a 35 year old veteran playing in the middle
• 1:03:20
  that calls the defense. It should be a guy that can do
• 1:03:23
  it. Now I know Anzaloni is a free
• 1:03:25
  agent from Detroit, one of the best lines.
• 1:03:27
  He's already a fit to go there. We're hearing that like that's
• 1:03:31
  like almost like a done. Deal like the first day of free
• 1:03:34
  agency, as soon as they're allowed to sign.
• 1:03:37
  If they could do that and bring in a guy like Wink, that would
• 1:03:41
  start to do that. Attitude changing, in my
• 1:03:44
  opinion. And the other thing that we keep
• 1:03:46
  hearing is that Jets are toying, and this is where you kind of
• 1:03:50
  get worried as a Jets fan toying with changing the role.
• 1:03:55
  Of. Their offensive coordinator to
• 1:03:58
  maybe one of those assistant head coach positions.
• 1:04:01
  I think it's a good move kind of promoting up and out and finding
• 1:04:05
  a different play caller for Speedy.
• 1:04:08
  I forget the name, it's a Tanner Eggstrom.
• 1:04:10
  Eggstrom, Eggstrom. So that that's something that's
• 1:04:14
  going on. I don't just wanted to run that
• 1:04:16
  stuff. I don't think that's bad.
• 1:04:18
  I don't think first of all, Anzalone.
• 1:04:19
  If they get Anzalone, it's a slam dunk for The Jets.
• 1:04:22
  He's the best one of the best defensive players available this
• 1:04:25
  offseason. And if he goes to The Jets, that
• 1:04:28
  automatically makes the offseason perfect.
• 1:04:31
  You need that guy. You need that general.
• 1:04:32
  You need that guy that understands the defense,
• 1:04:34
  understands how to make reads at the at the point of attack.
• 1:04:37
  That's the guy. That's the guy The Jets need to
• 1:04:40
  go after. Go all in on Anseloni and get
• 1:04:42
  him as far as the offensive coordinator position and moving
• 1:04:45
  down. This kid, he's never had
• 1:04:47
  experience at this at a high level.
• 1:04:49
  And and and Aaron Glenn is on the hot seat right now because
• 1:04:52
  of The Jets fans as The Jets fans pushed out Sam Donald more
• 1:04:55
  XS and OS are culture. No, I don't think it's.
• 1:04:58
  XS and OS I think Aaron Glenn understands.
• 1:05:00
  That because of The Jets fans and The Jets organization and
• 1:05:03
  the way The Jets work, he's on the hot seat.
• 1:05:06
  So he needs to bring in a guy that's been in this position
• 1:05:08
  before and has been successful making the right play calling.
• 1:05:12
  And if they're they're probably going to bring in a veteran
• 1:05:14
  because there's no rookie quarterbacks that's going to go
• 1:05:17
  where The Jets are sitting at #2 unless The Jets trade down,
• 1:05:20
  which could happen. So I I honestly believe that
• 1:05:23
  they're the fact here is is they're going to bring in a
• 1:05:26
  veteran. They need the right guy in
• 1:05:27
  position that's going to get him to that next level.
• 1:05:29
  So I think this is if this is the right move for The Jets, if
• 1:05:32
  they decide to do this, I'm all in on it.
• 1:05:34
  I understand what Aaron Glenn's trying to do.
• 1:05:37
  Yeah, I would say Jabba, there's different.
• 1:05:39
  Levels of. XS and OS there's like being
• 1:05:42
  great at it. Like on paper, you know, like
• 1:05:46
  they they've been naming Davis Webb former Giants traffic.
• 1:05:49
  There's another guy that's been floated around is like a 30 year
• 1:05:53
  old guy who might be head coach like McVeigh, just like this
• 1:05:56
  great on the just knows all the XS and OS.
• 1:05:59
  But if you remember Davis Webb the player, Davis Webb the
• 1:06:02
  player couldn't do anything. Yeah, I didn't have the arm
• 1:06:05
  strength. Even if he knew what he was
• 1:06:07
  supposed to do, it didn't matter.
• 1:06:09
  And I think sometimes it's very similar with coaches.
• 1:06:11
  You get one of these young coaches who may be great in the
• 1:06:14
  classroom, could tell you everything about the game of
• 1:06:16
  football, about cover 2 versus Cover 3, how we're going to run
• 1:06:20
  the play against this defense versus that defense.
• 1:06:22
  Look at the right side of the field for cover four.
• 1:06:24
  Look at the left side of the field.
• 1:06:25
  If it's man, you know what I mean?
• 1:06:26
  Like he could tell you everything, but when he has to
• 1:06:29
  call the plays on the field and has to make the adjustments and
• 1:06:33
  has to do it, it's not the same thing.
• 1:06:35
  So I feel like there's XS and OS and then there's, you know, the
• 1:06:38
  guys who can call the plays under pressure and be
• 1:06:41
  innovative. You know, when I as a kid, I
• 1:06:43
  always loved Bill Parcells because I knew he was going to
• 1:06:46
  give you something innovative under pressure at a key moment.
• 1:06:50
  It would just wow you every time.
• 1:06:52
  Oh my God, what a play call. And you don't have a lot of
• 1:06:55
  coaches that do that anymore. I for me, like as a kid
• 1:06:58
  ourselves, a lot of a lot of like the X's.
• 1:07:00
  And O's and being that. But can you as a coach sometimes
• 1:07:05
  get out of your own way knowing what X's and O's are, but then
• 1:07:09
  have a feel for what the game is going on?
• 1:07:11
  I want to say something and everybody and fish.
• 1:07:13
  I never. Really got a chance to tell you
• 1:07:15
  I think might get this job and, and I The Jets have been going
• 1:07:19
  after him for years and he doesn't look like he's getting a
• 1:07:22
  head coaching job. That's Cliff Kingsbury.
• 1:07:24
  That's the guy that I think The Jets are gunning for.
• 1:07:28
  And I've heard through the Grapevine when you told me today
• 1:07:31
  I was investigating it. That's the guy I think The Jets
• 1:07:35
  are going to ask to sit down and then have a conversation with
• 1:07:39
  Aaron Glenn and his coaching staff.
• 1:07:40
  So that is a slam dunk. If they get Cliff Kingsbury in
• 1:07:44
  in that locker room to work with Wink Martindale and Aaron Glenn,
• 1:07:48
  I think that is that's that's the coaching staff that you
• 1:07:50
  want. I think Jabba is just with
• 1:07:52
  experience. Sometimes you're too cute.
• 1:07:54
  You know, and I think a guy like Kingsbury in his first run, you
• 1:07:57
  know, with Arizona may have been a little too cute with some of
• 1:08:00
  the stuff he did. You know, when they had chances,
• 1:08:03
  I think they kind of choked a few games away.
• 1:08:05
  And I think sometimes you make like, I remember as a kid, like
• 1:08:07
  my as a, the first big dumb mistake I made as a football
• 1:08:11
  coach was I called a like a like a double reverse on the goal
• 1:08:15
  line because I was like, oh, it's going to work.
• 1:08:17
  It worked every time in practice, but I should just ran
• 1:08:20
  the stupid freaking ball in, you know, running power.
• 1:08:23
  And of course they fumble it and they take it the other way
• 1:08:26
  literally for a touchdown right before the half.
• 1:08:28
  And I feel like the dumbest idiot of all time.
• 1:08:31
  But it's an easy way to learn a lesson.
• 1:08:32
  By the way, you know what I mean?
• 1:08:33
  By the way, I want to tell everybody the.
• 1:08:35
  Islanders got another shutout. Sarokin got another shutout.
• 1:08:38
  This guy is hot. And by the way, Tony D'Angelo is
• 1:08:42
  hot as he's been one of the best defenseman in the NHL in the
• 1:08:46
  last past month and 1/2. What does that smell, Ranger
• 1:08:48
  fans? Smells like crap.
• 1:08:51
  Everything smells. Terrible for.
• 1:08:53
  Ranger fans right now. Like everything I'm wearing my
• 1:08:56
  my. Adam Fox.
• 1:08:57
  Jersey just because I don't know if I can wear it anymore in a in
• 1:09:01
  a week or two it might. He might be gone.
• 1:09:03
  I hope he's not. But he has.
• 1:09:06
  Value if we're retooling, you know.
• 1:09:08
  Anyway, retool digress. FYI, Tyler Harrison was the.
• 1:09:12
  Tony D'Angelo, lover of the Rangers.
• 1:09:13
  Oh, I know Josh, and I hated him.
• 1:09:15
  I, I don't know why he's been, he's been sensational.
• 1:09:17
  I've heard so many great things he's doing right now in that
• 1:09:20
  locker room and helping Shaffer really grow as a young player.
• 1:09:23
  I, I love it. I love the story behind the
• 1:09:25
  whole D'Angelo. Everybody in the NHL doesn't
• 1:09:27
  like him, just like the kid from Washington.
• 1:09:30
  They don't like D'Angelo because he starts a lot of problems.
• 1:09:32
  But he has been a great leader for this, this really young,
• 1:09:37
  young Islander team that's really transforming right in
• 1:09:39
  front of our eyes. So it's a great story.
• 1:09:41
  All right, let's get to the Giants.
• 1:09:44
  Oh God. Who did hire Denard?
• 1:09:46
  Wilson as. Their new defensive coordinator,
• 1:09:49
  Denard Wilson, responsible for that.
• 1:09:52
  Not this past season. The Titans were absolutely
• 1:09:54
  terrible. They were absolutely terrible
• 1:09:55
  the year before, but they had the second ranked defense.
• 1:09:57
  You know, all of football you might remember, still pretty
• 1:10:00
  decent this year just gave up a lot of points because that
• 1:10:02
  offense put them in a lot of bad spots.
• 1:10:05
  I would argue still very strong defense.
• 1:10:08
  Again, this is now the second straight Tennessee Titans
• 1:10:11
  defensive coordinator we're bringing over here after Shane
• 1:10:14
  Bowen to do this. But I, I think Denard Wilson, he
• 1:10:18
  had some experience with Harbaugh back with the Ravens,
• 1:10:22
  if he's thought of as one of the better secondary guys and if
• 1:10:25
  there's anything the Giants suck at and need someone who's good
• 1:10:28
  at, it's the secondary. So I'm very hopeful.
• 1:10:31
  And they also were able to grab Harbaugh's long time special
• 1:10:35
  teams coordinator, Horton from the Ravens, although the Ravens
• 1:10:40
  originally said they weren't going to let him interview with
• 1:10:42
  Harbaugh. I think as soon as they hired
• 1:10:44
  Mentor, Mentor said I have my own guy and they let Horton go.
• 1:10:48
  Well, I'll say this, I don't know.
• 1:10:50
  Much about Wilson, I, I do know him as a player.
• 1:10:52
  I I remember I remember when he was defensive coordinator over
• 1:10:55
  there with the the Tennessee Titans.
• 1:10:58
  They're they better hope this this works because John Harbaugh
• 1:11:03
  ever since McDonald left that organization with the Ravens did
• 1:11:06
  his defenses were were not good. And you usually bring in the
• 1:11:10
  guys that have been successful working under you over the
• 1:11:12
  years, guys that understand how you like to run your your
• 1:11:16
  defense. I don't know if this is a slam
• 1:11:18
  dunk for the the Giants, but hey, the Giants are going to go
• 1:11:21
  and do what horrible wants. And this is who he wants to
• 1:11:24
  bring in and his coaching staff. So you got to ride or die with
• 1:11:27
  it. I just, I, I don't know if I
• 1:11:29
  would have went this route. There are other guys he could
• 1:11:30
  have brought in. That's just my opinion.
• 1:11:32
  Yeah, I'm more encouraged with the special teams higher because
• 1:11:34
  the Ravens have always had good kickers outside of that one year
• 1:11:37
  of Billy Cundiff where he was just awful.
• 1:11:39
  They had Stover, they had obviously Justin Tucker and they
• 1:11:41
  always had good kick returners too.
• 1:11:42
  But the defense, yeah, it's tough to tell if that were.
• 1:11:44
  I remember Wilson as a player. I think with the Rams, it was
• 1:11:46
  all right, Jeff Fisher defense, Yeah, he was one of those like
• 1:11:48
  platoon linebackers. So again, maybe they get some
• 1:11:51
  influence from Fisher, some influence from Hobart where he's
• 1:11:53
  been around good coaches. Don't you think this is a little
• 1:11:55
  reach? It's AI think it's a it's a for
• 1:11:57
  this early in the process. Yeah.
• 1:11:59
  I would have been more patient. Yeah.
• 1:12:00
  I think this is a reach for the what do do you think Harbaugh
• 1:12:04
  had any any say? In that, of course, of course
• 1:12:06
  it's his guy, but that's why I'm saying his guy.
• 1:12:09
  Of course, with the pass rush talent that the Giants should
• 1:12:11
  have on paper, like you would think there would be better
• 1:12:14
  coordinators that you could have waited on for this job, even if
• 1:12:16
  it meant paying a little more. I think this is like it's the
• 1:12:19
  first time DC has been with the team, with Rabel, that with
• 1:12:22
  Bowen that already just failed. I wouldn't have went this route.
• 1:12:25
  I I would have waited a little bit longer.
• 1:12:26
  There were other guys that are definitely a better fit.
• 1:12:29
  Again, the Giants went that route.
• 1:12:31
  I hope it works out for them. I'm not.
• 1:12:32
  I don't hate the Giants as much as everybody thinks.
• 1:12:35
  I just hate Giant fans. That's all I'm going to say.
• 1:12:37
  But I you know how it works though.
• 1:12:39
  Errol like these coaches, they. Hire guys that they used to work
• 1:12:43
  with. I got it.
• 1:12:44
  I understand that's he worked with them.
• 1:12:46
  He was his D BS coach I got in 2023.
• 1:12:48
  He'd been with him a couple other times.
• 1:12:50
  He probably members him as a player because Harbaugh been
• 1:12:52
  around forever. Anyway, the Giants, it can't be
• 1:12:56
  worse, right? I mean, it can't.
• 1:12:58
  It can't be worse than it's been.
• 1:13:00
  I don't know. At least we'll see you.
• 1:13:02
  You would know better than all. Of US fish, so can it.
• 1:13:04
  Can it be worse or is it better? They they they can be worse.
• 1:13:08
  They can trade Dexter, Lawrence and.
• 1:13:09
  Then have the worst run defense in NFL history, possibly.
• 1:13:12
  And now, But here's another thing, they don't even know what
• 1:13:14
  they're doing with Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:13:15
  And if I was Dexter Lawrence, I would be asking for a trade
• 1:13:17
  because of the way the Giants have really exposed him over the
• 1:13:20
  last couple of weeks. Oh, we don't know if we could
• 1:13:23
  afford them. Oh, we might trade him.
• 1:13:25
  Oh, we might get this. Just, you know what Shane does,
• 1:13:28
  Joe Shane's a. Moron and they should have fired
• 1:13:30
  his. Ass we don't know what Joe Shane
• 1:13:32
  does fish. He's an idiot.
• 1:13:34
  I I am not this Lulu in that statement.
• 1:13:37
  All right, let's get into. Real quick one, I wanted to get
• 1:13:41
  him. He dropped out of the race,
• 1:13:44
  which obviously he wasn't going to get this job.
• 1:13:46
  But the Bills interviewed Philip Rivers.
• 1:13:49
  Love it for their head coach opening.
• 1:13:51
  I thought that was. Something we should bring up, I
• 1:13:53
  think, you know, there were other names that were put out
• 1:13:56
  there. Obviously, Philip Rivers coming
• 1:13:57
  out of retirement to play the three games with Indianapolis
• 1:13:59
  this year really impressed everyone with just the ability
• 1:14:02
  to still just, I don't know how you'd be able to do.
• 1:14:06
  It physically, obviously he wasn't the same.
• 1:14:08
  Guy physically at 44 as he was when he was younger, but
• 1:14:11
  understands the game at such a high level was still able to
• 1:14:14
  facilitate the ball. They didn't win any of those
• 1:14:16
  games, but he wasn't the reason why they lost in any of those
• 1:14:20
  contests. Guys, Josh Allen to me.
• 1:14:23
  Is one of the best, if not the best quarterback in the NFL and
• 1:14:27
  to get a chance to just interview and see if you can
• 1:14:30
  persuade the Buffalo Bills to hire you to coach that guy, He's
• 1:14:33
  going to make everybody around him look better.
• 1:14:36
  I don't care what anybody says. I put a story out over the
• 1:14:39
  weekend. Well, not over the weekend, over
• 1:14:41
  the week. Last week, I think it was Friday
• 1:14:42
  or Thursday about Josh Allen, how special he is and the type
• 1:14:46
  of person that he is. He puts everything on his
• 1:14:48
  shoulders and the fact that Phillip Phillip Rivers was the
• 1:14:51
  kind of kind of the same player. He didn't cry and he didn't show
• 1:14:54
  emotion, but he showed emotion on the field.
• 1:14:56
  He had heart. He he would yell at the
• 1:14:58
  referees, he would yell at the players.
• 1:15:00
  He would give you everything. He would show you that he really
• 1:15:03
  wanted to win. That's Josh Allen and I think
• 1:15:06
  that's to me what you you look for your next head coach.
• 1:15:09
  I don't know if tables the right answer, but obviously Josh
• 1:15:11
  trusts him. But the the fact that you hear
• 1:15:14
  Phillip Rivers is interested in that job and only that job he
• 1:15:17
  could interviewed on any other job he wanted to interview for
• 1:15:20
  the Buffalo Bills only tells you why he believes that this team
• 1:15:24
  might be the best fit for him. I love it.
• 1:15:27
  Good for Phil. And I think Phil will eventually
• 1:15:29
  be, I believe he will be a coach in the NFL, one at one point of
• 1:15:33
  his career. He just needs to learn as an
• 1:15:35
  offensive, offensive coordinator what the position entails.
• 1:15:40
  It's not the same as the quarterback position, but I
• 1:15:42
  think he'll be an unbelievable coach in this league if he gets
• 1:15:45
  an opportunity to do that. Yeah, I could definitely see a
• 1:15:47
  good QB coach to start and then a head coach maybe five years
• 1:15:50
  from now, something like that. Because he already coaches his
• 1:15:51
  son's team and there's a big reason he came back.
• 1:15:54
  He's connected with a lot of these younger coaches too.
• 1:15:55
  Just again, I don't know how much familiarity has with the
• 1:15:57
  Bills coaching stay in Indianapolis.
• 1:15:59
  Yeah, I thought that, yeah, maybe just judge develop Riley
• 1:16:02
  Leonard. And if Riley Leonard doesn't
• 1:16:04
  work out, if they draft another quarterback in two years, then
• 1:16:05
  you dread developed him. Don't hurt our guy.
• 1:16:07
  Hurting our guy. Don't hurt our.
• 1:16:09
  I said if come on. I said if I'm Rudy, I'm on the
• 1:16:13
  show yet. I know, I know.
• 1:16:15
  I'm going to reach out to. Him, I'm going to reach out to
• 1:16:17
  him in the next week or two, but which with the Bills, I think I
• 1:16:21
  agree with you. I'm be skeptical if they're
• 1:16:23
  bringing just bringing Dabel. If you just want to get
• 1:16:24
  familiarity, just promote Joe Brady and just make him the
• 1:16:26
  coach at this point. The guy I liked I mentioned last
• 1:16:28
  week is Brian Flores. I think they need some defensive
• 1:16:30
  play. Brady's taking the Vegas job.
• 1:16:32
  Yeah, seems that way. That's what I'm hearing.
• 1:16:34
  He's taking the Vegas job. That means you're either going
• 1:16:36
  to have to take it Be beware. I think by Thursday you're going
• 1:16:39
  to hear that the the Raiders have hired Joe Brady.
• 1:16:41
  I it, why would he go coach a guy in Josh Allen who's already
• 1:16:46
  been developed and go over there and have a chance to coach
• 1:16:48
  Mendoza? I mean, I go that route.
• 1:16:51
  I know the Vegas Raiders are not a smart organization, but you
• 1:16:54
  get you get the quarterback of of this year's great season and
• 1:16:58
  a guy that you're really going to like.
• 1:17:00
  And, and as you heard Collier say that it's, it's going to be
• 1:17:03
  fun to get a chance to get to know him in person.
• 1:17:04
  So that's that's why I think the Bills need an experience guy.
• 1:17:07
  Josh Allen, I think is just scheming quarterback proof at
• 1:17:09
  this point. He's going to do his thing and
• 1:17:10
  still play great. That's why I think Flores would
• 1:17:12
  be a good fit over there. But again, I don't know if he'll
• 1:17:14
  get that job, but Brian Davis, we'll see Ryan Dabel will look
• 1:17:17
  good no matter what because he has Josh Allen no Saturday.
• 1:17:20
  He'll make everybody look good. He's that good.
• 1:17:24
  Well, and I I think too, it's like even the.
• 1:17:27
  Entertaining the fact of like having that is like what Phillip
• 1:17:31
  Rivers understands. Like, yeah, you brought up
• 1:17:34
  obviously coach with Sun team, whatever, but that's high
• 1:17:37
  school. Like it, it's a little different
• 1:17:39
  now if you if you can get in, But I I think you guys are 100%
• 1:17:43
  or like he needs to either be a quarterback coach or whatever
• 1:17:47
  and shoot, he's 43. It's like you can still be a
• 1:17:50
  head coach by the time you're 50 with the pedigree that he has.
• 1:17:54
  And there's a lot to be said about that there.
• 1:17:57
  I mean, obviously the Harbaugh family, we look at what they've
• 1:18:00
  done and that their lineage is in football.
• 1:18:03
  That's what they've done. They both played and obviously
• 1:18:06
  being coaches as as their father and all the other stuff.
• 1:18:09
  So I think there there's something to be said and I think
• 1:18:13
  more so than anything, it was kind of getting his just feet
• 1:18:18
  wet a little bit to see kind of what the Prophet did and what he
• 1:18:21
  has to go through to get to that point.
• 1:18:24
  I don't necessarily know if it was really the logistics of it
• 1:18:28
  more so than him just understanding, OK, this is this
• 1:18:31
  is a part of it. This is kind of what I got to go
• 1:18:34
  through and and see what works and what fits.
• 1:18:38
  I think he's going to be a great coach at some point, but I think
• 1:18:41
  you guys are 100% right where he's got to go feel what these
• 1:18:46
  certain aspects of the game. Because when you're the
• 1:18:49
  quarterback, you lead the team, but now you lead from a
• 1:18:53
  different level and he's obviously LED from a different
• 1:18:56
  level because he's got 10 kids. So he's LED from that that
• 1:19:01
  perspective, so he gets it, but I think this was more so just to
• 1:19:05
  get his feet wet and have it something that that makes us
• 1:19:10
  excited about where fish is not a panty dropper in a.
• 1:19:14
  Direction and. He has never done so.
• 1:19:18
  He he wanted to just be OK. Let me just put my name in the
• 1:19:23
  coffers and see what happens. And, and now when I get to the
• 1:19:27
  real point, I understand what it is because I know I can leave.
• 1:19:32
  I've done it on the field. I've done off the field.
• 1:19:35
  Now let me let me run this shit. Take every interview, guys.
• 1:19:40
  That's what I always tell like you.
• 1:19:41
  Know they just take the interview, get the experience.
• 1:19:43
  You never know, might impress somebody, you might meet
• 1:19:46
  somebody. It's important even if you don't
• 1:19:49
  get the job. Now last one.
• 1:19:51
  Speaking of getting the job, this story fascinates me to no
• 1:19:55
  end. Now the Cleveland Browns very
• 1:19:58
  often not considered to be one of the destinations anybody
• 1:20:03
  really wants to coach at. They just fired Kevin Stefanski.
• 1:20:06
  He was two time coach of the year.
• 1:20:08
  There weren't able to get over the hump.
• 1:20:10
  Obviously the Shawn Watson contract, I don't know.
• 1:20:14
  You wouldn't. I don't think you would.
• 1:20:15
  Think they would have high moral?
• 1:20:16
  Standards. But apparently the Browns have a
• 1:20:20
  very sophisticated and very rigorous hot set of hiring
• 1:20:25
  practices. I'm going to read this to you.
• 1:20:26
  This is from Tom Pellicero on the Rich Eisen show.
• 1:20:30
  The Brown search process and interview process they have run
• 1:20:33
  a number of times is unlike any other in the NFL, and it plays
• 1:20:37
  to certain types of candidates. They are a data-driven operation
• 1:20:40
  in Cleveland, so they spend an extraordinary amount of time
• 1:20:43
  gathering data on their coaching candidates.
• 1:20:46
  You're talking about taking a personality test, you're talking
• 1:20:50
  about writing an essay, you're talking about completing
• 1:20:53
  homework assignments going into both the 1st and 2nd rounds of
• 1:20:57
  interviews. It plays towards the types of
• 1:20:59
  candidates they have in the mix, which is very, very smart
• 1:21:02
  people. In a lot of cases that just
• 1:21:04
  happen to be tall, thin guys that came from Ivy League
• 1:21:08
  schools, though that is certainly not a requirement.
• 1:21:11
  That's the type of candidate generally that is going to fit
• 1:21:14
  in a data-driven environment. Chris, are you saying that the
• 1:21:17
  Browns are holding out for Kyle? You check when he.
• 1:21:19
  Retires to become their next Hi coach Ryan's fit Ryan
• 1:21:21
  Fitzpatrick There you go. Ryan Fitz Fitzy.
• 1:21:25
  I don't. It's just kind of hard to.
• 1:21:27
  Fathom that the Browns just keep shooting themselves right in the
• 1:21:32
  foot. All right, there's I'm not going
• 1:21:35
  to get too. Long into this this Browns
• 1:21:37
  thing, because the Browns, I mean their colors are what I
• 1:21:40
  expect this organization to be. Doo Doo as as Niffit says, Doo
• 1:21:44
  Doo as we all know. That's why Shador Sanders is
• 1:21:47
  there. That's why Watson is there.
• 1:21:49
  Mr. Hand Job himself. I mean, this is an organization
• 1:21:51
  that doesn't know what they're doing.
• 1:21:53
  So I'm a Jet fan, so I know all about organizations that are up
• 1:21:56
  and down with obviously thoughts and dreams and admirations.
• 1:22:00
  Here's the facts. This is an organization that is
• 1:22:03
  going to sit back and they're going to make up these these
• 1:22:07
  different unique ways of hiring because they think that they're
• 1:22:11
  spinning the wheel and making the deal and changing the grid.
• 1:22:14
  There's nothing about this that makes any sense.
• 1:22:17
  And here's another thing. If I was any coach right now
• 1:22:20
  looking for a job, I wouldn't take that job.
• 1:22:23
  I have no quarterback. I have a great defensive lineman
• 1:22:26
  that has maybe 2-2 years left at the top level and and everything
• 1:22:31
  about that offensive side of the ball is horrible.
• 1:22:33
  They got no running game, they have no wide receivers, they got
• 1:22:36
  nothing. So to honest, honest to God,
• 1:22:38
  whoever takes that job, whoever gets that job is up as you call
• 1:22:43
  Doo Doo Creek. So why would I even want to
• 1:22:47
  interview, take a test, write an essay or even get into the
• 1:22:51
  conversations on taking this what you call Brown's job?
• 1:22:56
  Doo Doo. Yeah, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo.
• 1:23:00
  I don't know how long this job process has gone, like going
• 1:23:03
  back further. But if you look at Romeo
• 1:23:05
  Cornell, Rob Chaczynski, Mike Patton, like, look at all these
• 1:23:08
  coaches. Like, you forget about that Mike
• 1:23:10
  Patton. They had Patch.
• 1:23:11
  What a wonderful guy. Yeah.
• 1:23:13
  Like, Stefanski was the one good one they had.
• 1:23:15
  He was the one who ratted on Rex Ryan and why Rex Ryan had, you
• 1:23:19
  know, the whole parting ways with the New York Jets.
• 1:23:22
  His defensive coordinator was the one that ratted on him.
• 1:23:24
  Yeah. So that's ridiculous, mysterious
• 1:23:27
  list of recent head coaching history.
• 1:23:28
  I don't even know who it was before that.
• 1:23:30
  But like, Stefanski was the best one you had, and then you get
• 1:23:33
  rid of him and now you're going to go for all these standards of
• 1:23:36
  these coaches. Yeah.
• 1:23:37
  When you have no moral standards of of bringing in Deshaun Watson
• 1:23:39
  with all the crap that he did off the field of giving him the
• 1:23:41
  highest paid contract in NFL history.
• 1:23:43
  And fish, the analytic stuff that you're talking about, guess
• 1:23:45
  what they brought in in 2019? Guys from the Mets, They clearly
• 1:23:47
  don't know what they're doing. And I want to say something,
• 1:23:49
  Stefanski. Stefanski was happy to get the
• 1:23:52
  hell out of there. Are you kidding me?
• 1:23:54
  He gets to go to the Atlanta. He's got a young quarterback in
• 1:23:58
  Michael Pennix. He's got offensive weapons.
• 1:24:00
  He's actually got an offensive line and good defensive.
• 1:24:03
  I mean the guy is set. He can win a Super Bowl next
• 1:24:05
  year. He honestly could so and they're
• 1:24:08
  winning that division next year. Good luck to the Buccaneers.
• 1:24:11
  They're winning that division next year.
• 1:24:12
  They've got tons of money and they got tons of draft stock.
• 1:24:15
  Not this year in the first round, but everything after this
• 1:24:18
  year, they're going to have tons and tons of draft stock.
• 1:24:21
  I I'm, I'm absolutely we staying.
• 1:24:24
  I'm so happy for Stefanski. He's going to be an accomplished
• 1:24:27
  coach and maybe a Super Bowl champion one way or another.
• 1:24:30
  Not with that Browns crap. What a stupid, ridiculous.
• 1:24:33
  We've always talked about it and it's like, what?
• 1:24:36
  What are the Browns doing? Like we never have an answer for
• 1:24:40
  what the hell they're trying to do.
• 1:24:42
  And this just like what rhyme or reason?
• 1:24:46
  Like we're obviously not in the front office, we don't know.
• 1:24:49
  But none of it makes sense, like none of anything that they do
• 1:24:54
  makes sense. And they've obviously been a
• 1:24:57
  garbage can for a while. Boy, that's being nice.
• 1:25:00
  That's being I mean, I sometimes you can just out.
• 1:25:04
  Think yourself. It's like, there's no way is
• 1:25:07
  that what you call this out thinking yourself well.
• 1:25:10
  I look Errol I've I've. Taken things like that for jobs
• 1:25:15
  in my life but if in no point in time we're one of those for
• 1:25:20
  football coach dude that's not a thing you do to hire a football.
• 1:25:24
  This is a one in a million job and and the.
• 1:25:27
  First thing you're going to do is you're going to ask these
• 1:25:29
  guys that are working for organizations and worked hard to
• 1:25:32
  get where they are to write essays.
• 1:25:34
  I tell you to go F yourself. I am not doing that.
• 1:25:37
  I'm not in college. I'm not I'm not trying to, you
• 1:25:40
  know, trying to write an essay and trying to explain myself and
• 1:25:42
  what I'm trying to do. How about you just interviewing
• 1:25:44
  me? And if you, me, you like me, you
• 1:25:46
  don't tell me to get the hell out.
• 1:25:48
  Tell me to hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back.
• 1:25:50
  I don't want to write an essay. I have no interest in writing a
• 1:25:53
  paper for you to understand who I am and what I want to do.
• 1:25:57
  You're an idiot. And I'll tell you ownership over
• 1:25:59
  there needs to go and sink his head in the water or go to a
• 1:26:02
  friggin massage parlor with friggin Watson, because I don't
• 1:26:06
  want to hear any more about this essays and what they need to do
• 1:26:09
  to get there. It's, it's, it's pathetic.
• 1:26:11
  I, I, you know, it would be funny.
• 1:26:13
  Nobody takes this job and they're going into the season
• 1:26:15
  with no coach. That's what's going to happen
• 1:26:17
  because I, I'm definitely not taking this job.
• 1:26:20
  If I was Miles Garrett today, I tell him, get get me the hell
• 1:26:23
  out of here. I don't want to be here.
• 1:26:23
  Which means they'll eventually hire Deion Sanders.
• 1:26:26
  That's that's where it's probably looking.
• 1:26:31
  It makes a lot of. Sense, by the way.
• 1:26:33
  Well. If that happens, we will report
• 1:26:35
  it on. Boy, we will ever start playing
• 1:26:38
  the O1. 17 parade. Oh my God, please.
• 1:26:41
  I'm just lost here. Shut the music, Speedy, I, you
• 1:26:46
  told me this story before the show and I was like, what?
• 1:26:50
  And I was looking at this story and if I was any coach, any
• 1:26:55
  coach at any position or any, any, you know, from college to
• 1:27:00
  high school, and I want to interview for that job.
• 1:27:02
  I wouldn't even waste my time having a conversation with
• 1:27:04
  ownership statistics and, you know, and understanding what I
• 1:27:08
  need to do to get you to think that I'm the perfect fit for
• 1:27:11
  your organization. It's ridiculous.
• 1:27:13
  It's dumb, it's stupid and it shows you how dumb.
• 1:27:16
  I'm a Jet fan and I I know a lot of dumb things that Jets have
• 1:27:19
  done. This might be the dumbest, OK,
• 1:27:22
  the dumbest story I've ever heard.
• 1:27:24
  So I could see see why you put it in the whip around here
• 1:27:27
  anyways. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:27:29
  we call this all righty, then all righty, then.
• 1:27:34
  All righty all. Righty.
• 1:27:39
  All righty. Then all right ladies, and.
• 1:27:40
  Gentlemen, I don't know if you know how to play this well.
• 1:27:44
  This segment is very interesting and I'll let Fish explain it.
• 1:27:48
  All righty then, Errol. We will talk about this segment.
• 1:27:52
  All right then, very simple. Errol is really becoming a
• 1:27:56
  pretty proficient writer. I've been working on using
• 1:27:59
  sports articles. That you can go see on.

  especially these articles. These are what we're going to do
• 1:28:15
  is read a portion of Arrow's article, this time on the Mets
• 1:28:20
  and their general manager, Mr. Stern.
• 1:28:23
  How many downloads? I mean how many reads speedy?
• 1:28:26
  That was in needy, you have the data that was in the 7000 range
• 1:28:29
  for this one. OK, all right.
• 1:28:30
  So in the 7000 range and there are quite a number.
• 1:28:33
  Of people on Reddit who comments, Speedy's going to put
• 1:28:35
  up a bunch of those comments after I read this excerpt.
• 1:28:40
  Here we go for all righty then. Here's the name here and I share
• 1:28:45
  the screen for you. This is the one we want up, not
• 1:28:48
  that one. There we go.
• 1:28:50
  The Mets spent the farm for a one year race, a downward trend
• 1:28:54
  outfielder, and said bye to Nimmo.
• 1:28:57
  Welcome to 2026. There's our buddy Stearns.
• 1:29:01
  Let's breakdown the latest David Stearns master class in Mets
• 1:29:05
  roster construction, also known as the Hold My Wallet tour.
• 1:29:09
  The Mets just traded 2 top prospects, Brandon Sproat and
• 1:29:13
  Jet Williams for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers.
• 1:29:15
  Peralta is a two time All Star coming off a huge 2025.
• 1:29:19
  But here's the real buzzkill. He's a rental pitcher.
• 1:29:21
  He has free agency after this season.
• 1:29:23
  Yep, one year the cost Highly rated prospects who could have
• 1:29:27
  been long term difference makers.
• 1:29:29
  Myers is a fine arm, but basically the side of ranch
• 1:29:32
  dressing with this trade. So what does that mean for
• 1:29:35
  Terek? School rumors.
• 1:29:36
  Before this blockbuster, some fans were fantasizing about a
• 1:29:39
  school for the ages scenario. A young you could sign long
• 1:29:43
  term, but after giving up real future value for a one year
• 1:29:46
  rental, all that fantasy money has turned into Peraltas bar tab
• 1:29:52
  scrolling down a little bit. Don't.
• 1:29:54
  Here's going into the Luis Robert trade for minor leaguers
• 1:29:57
  Luis Angel Acuna and Truman Pauli.
• 1:30:00
  Don't get it twisted, Robert Junior's a freak athlete.
• 1:30:03
  But here's the hilarious bit. His best season was 2023.
• 1:30:06
  Over the last two seasons, his production dipped.
• 1:30:09
  He's 28 and owed $20 million with a club option for 2027.
• 1:30:14
  Yeah, you heard that right. The Mets traded for someone
• 1:30:16
  whose absolute peak was two years ago.
• 1:30:19
  Why the clocks back David? This party showed up after the
• 1:30:23
  cake was cut and then moving on to Nimmo wasn't a perfect but
• 1:30:27
  what wasn't perfect. But he was a career Met, a
• 1:30:30
  leader in OBP and consistent offensive producer and adored by
• 1:30:34
  fans. Marcus Simeon, who they traded
• 1:30:36
  for him. A veteran with a big love and
• 1:30:38
  passed All Star seasons, but 35 older and coming off a quieter
• 1:30:42
  2025 S In men's world, you trade a beloved current contributor
• 1:30:47
  for an aging defender, then trade away future pieces for a
• 1:30:50
  one year rental ace and call it championship mode.
• 1:30:53
  Let that sink in while you check Peralta's contract speedy.
• 1:30:59
  All right, so we'll start. We'll start.
• 1:31:01
  With this one from. Mysterious Draw 2510.
• 1:31:05
  So they said no he did. He disagrees with that sprout.
• 1:31:07
  They believe in the other young arms in the farm system and the
• 1:31:10
  and the coming up in the minors and Williams because he hasn't
• 1:31:12
  transitioned to outfield well and his block in the infield.
• 1:31:14
  He also I couldn't extend it all in this to a 200 character
• 1:31:17
  comment. He also mentioned the Steve
• 1:31:18
  Gelbs interview. They were the Mets organization
• 1:31:20
  was OK giving up with sprout and they also gave up took a chance
• 1:31:24
  for Robert at a small price. Mysterious thank you for giving
• 1:31:26
  us your opinion. Here's here's why I think your
• 1:31:29
  opinion is a little up and down. I look at Sprout.
• 1:31:32
  He's a guy that a lot of people think could be an ace and you
• 1:31:35
  decided to move it away for for a guy like Peralta.
• 1:31:39
  Now, I'm not saying Peralta is not going to be good.
• 1:31:41
  And I think if the Milwaukee Brewers are asking for Sprout,
• 1:31:45
  obviously they know something that we don't.
• 1:31:47
  Every time the Milwaukee Brewers make a trade and they trade one
• 1:31:49
  of their better players, they get more out of the guys that
• 1:31:53
  they traded for. I think this is an absolute slam
• 1:31:56
  dunk getting Williams and Sprout, two guys that were in a
• 1:31:59
  top 10 for the New York Mets. Sprout, who's in the top five,
• 1:32:02
  he's better. A lot of people think that that
• 1:32:04
  he was going to get cold up this year that he he was going to be
• 1:32:06
  better, maybe a better pitcher than Tong.
• 1:32:09
  We haven't even seen this kid in the Major League level yet.
• 1:32:11
  But what he's done in the minor league is it's been absolutely
• 1:32:14
  sensational. I think this is a slam dunk move
• 1:32:17
  from Milwaukee and I think the Mets are going to because I
• 1:32:19
  don't even know if they're going to be able to reside Peralta.
• 1:32:22
  And if they don't before the the next season, they're going to go
• 1:32:26
  on strike and the Mets might not get Peralta when when they when
• 1:32:29
  the strike is over. I think this might be a bad move
• 1:32:32
  for the New York Mets and losing 2 top prospects.
• 1:32:34
  You brought up a great point when the Brewers do something.
• 1:32:38
  We've seen what they've done, getting rid of a Corbin Burns
• 1:32:41
  and guys that they've got on the back end that have turned into
• 1:32:45
  something and I think they they have a rhyme or reason.
• 1:32:49
  Sometimes we look at these teams and we're like, what the heck
• 1:32:52
  are they doing? But the Brewers we've seen and
• 1:32:55
  it's been a track record of what they've done and what they've
• 1:32:58
  received on the back end because like you just said, we haven't
• 1:33:03
  seen him at the big league level.
• 1:33:04
  We don't know. But now it's like, OK, you had a
• 1:33:08
  young guy that you've seen a little bit in McClain and what
• 1:33:11
  he's done, but you had that guy and now you're giving up pieces.
• 1:33:16
  And the Brewers are like, OK, well, if we can get that piece
• 1:33:18
  of the puzzle because we know what he's going to be.
• 1:33:22
  But the. Brewers have have.
• 1:33:23
  Shown that why they've gotten rid of some guys and made
• 1:33:27
  acquisitions to where they've seen what could happen and what
• 1:33:33
  they've built. Why are they there all the time?
• 1:33:35
  Why is their farm system always there?
• 1:33:37
  Like, it's because they understand.
• 1:33:39
  It's like, yeah, I may have to get rid of this for a minute,
• 1:33:43
  but I got something on the back end where now I have control of
• 1:33:46
  him for six years. Jabba, we can see where we go.
• 1:33:49
  Jabba the Brewers. Are the rays.
• 1:33:51
  Of the National League, yeah. No, I I don't disagree.
• 1:33:55
  Everything you said was spot on. And it's you.
• 1:33:59
  You look at it and it's where where are the Mets missing that
• 1:34:04
  part? And it's like, hey, yeah, yeah,
• 1:34:06
  it is a rental. And like you said, are we going
• 1:34:08
  to be able to even sign him if we have a 2027 season?
• 1:34:12
  Yep. All right, we'll move on to this
• 1:34:14
  one. Or are we going to get him big
• 1:34:15
  league? Ready and now.
• 1:34:17
  We see what we can get, move on to this one.
• 1:34:21
  Kind of. Kind of a similar theme, current
• 1:34:25
  Barbara 360 kind of mentioned the same kind of things, Two
• 1:34:27
  guys that won't have impact because Jets blocked
• 1:34:28
  positionally, but Spro consider the 4th best pitching prospect
• 1:34:31
  in the organization. Mentioned McClain Tong and
• 1:34:33
  Christian Scott, who's currently hurt but pitch well in 2024.
• 1:34:37
  And then they ultimately they have two important chips, but
• 1:34:40
  guys are not expecting the impact of the team both in 2026
• 1:34:42
  and also 2027. Current Barbara, thank you for
• 1:34:46
  writing to us and we really appreciate it.
• 1:34:48
  First of all, how do you know? How do you know Sprout won't be
• 1:34:50
  called up? How do you know Sprout won't be
• 1:34:52
  a great pitcher? Just because he's the fourth guy
• 1:34:55
  on the list doesn't mean he's not the best guy.
• 1:34:57
  How do you know what? That's the problem with Met
• 1:34:59
  fans. They want to predict what they
• 1:35:01
  think that they know. They don't know this guy was a
• 1:35:04
  highly regarded young pitcher in the Mets farm system, one of the
• 1:35:08
  best in their farm system. And because, oh, they got Tong,
• 1:35:11
  they got McClain, they got this guy.
• 1:35:12
  He can't be better than him. How do you know?
• 1:35:15
  You haven't seen a pitch in the American League, You haven't
• 1:35:17
  seen a pitch the National League.
• 1:35:19
  You haven't seen a pitch in the major leagues, so how would you
• 1:35:21
  know? This guy is a great minor league
• 1:35:24
  player and he's not going to be called up this year.
• 1:35:26
  How do you know? How do you know?
• 1:35:28
  So that's it makes me so angry when I hear Matt fans say, well,
• 1:35:33
  you know, he's probably not going to be called up this year
• 1:35:35
  and Williams might not be called up here.
• 1:35:37
  How do you know? How do you know?
• 1:35:39
  Are you AGM? How do you know?
• 1:35:40
  How do you know? Shake hands.
• 1:35:43
  I don't want to shake your hands, but thank you.
• 1:35:45
  Thank you, current Barber. We love you.
• 1:35:48
  I had to do that. Go ahead, John.
• 1:35:50
  Next one, Speedy. All right, so we'll go to this
• 1:35:52
  one. Night time number.
• 1:35:54
  One, you got an ace starting pitcher that led the National
• 1:35:56
  League and wins in a fantastic defensive outfielder with
• 1:35:58
  offensive upside. Both these trades adjusted
• 1:36:01
  issues though were the two biggest needs on the team was
• 1:36:03
  the extended comment and we needed an ace starting pitcher
• 1:36:06
  and outfielder at all costs. All right, night time, thank you
• 1:36:09
  for giving us your opinion, but your opinion is not warranted.
• 1:36:13
  Here's the reason why I don't care again, going back to your
• 1:36:17
  pitcher and, and, and what you're what you're looking for.
• 1:36:20
  If you're not, this guy has one more year left on his contract
• 1:36:23
  and he is a free agent. And if he wants to sit and say,
• 1:36:26
  you know what, I'm going to wait till next season or if there is
• 1:36:30
  a season to get my big money because I can get more money in
• 1:36:34
  the offseason, then sit here and take the money that you're going
• 1:36:37
  to offer me. Why would I?
• 1:36:39
  Why would this be a good move? You're losing 2 prospects during
• 1:36:41
  your top ten, one of your best pitching prospects in your farm
• 1:36:44
  system, and as far as is your newly improved outfielder, what
• 1:36:49
  has he done offensively in the last two years?
• 1:36:52
  I don't care how great defensively is.
• 1:36:54
  You just lost MO in your outfield who's a very talented
• 1:36:57
  offensive player and can do all the things that you're missing
• 1:37:00
  out in the outfield. Now you're adding it with this
• 1:37:02
  guy who can only play defense, maybe still here half the time,
• 1:37:05
  but guess what? He can't get on base.
• 1:37:07
  And if you can't get offense in the center field position, how
• 1:37:10
  does this benefit the Mets? Bad move by the Mets.
• 1:37:13
  I like it, I like Peralta. They need an to help McClain
• 1:37:16
  grow, but this move, this move might cost him and that move
• 1:37:19
  definitely will cost him hats. It's not a slam dunk.
• 1:37:22
  Wrong again. Night time take a ditch.
• 1:37:27
  Yeah, I, we, we kind of touched on this with.
• 1:37:29
  With the football side of it, like I don't and I don't know
• 1:37:33
  him. I don't know Peralta from a from
• 1:37:35
  a culture side. And if you want to teach the
• 1:37:37
  younger generation, I don't know what he what he brings to a
• 1:37:42
  clubhouse, don't know that. But also I don't want.
• 1:37:46
  To lose what I. Have and I already had these
• 1:37:49
  guys and you're giving up rentals is what is what you're
• 1:37:53
  doing. And if if he was a clubhouse guy
• 1:37:57
  and it was, it was somewhere we can't, we couldn't even argue
• 1:37:59
  that fact. But we've never heard anything
• 1:38:02
  other than the fact what we see on the field.
• 1:38:04
  And we don't know that. We're obviously not the front
• 1:38:06
  office. We're we're not in the clubhouse
• 1:38:08
  and we don't, we don't see that. But I don't know really what
• 1:38:12
  he's going to do from the context of is is.
• 1:38:16
  He going to grow these. Young kids.
• 1:38:18
  But if you've got a young dude that's there and you bring young
• 1:38:24
  guys up. It's kind of a.
• 1:38:25
  Crutch you lean on because when you come up with a younger guy
• 1:38:30
  you kind of gravitate toward because you you're kind of
• 1:38:33
  scared of the other guys because they've been there, they've done
• 1:38:35
  it. So you don't really lean on them
• 1:38:37
  very much, but you got a young guy that's already done it.
• 1:38:40
  He's proven it. Now you can be able to to lean
• 1:38:44
  on him a little bit and now you bring somebody else in that now
• 1:38:48
  it's like, hey, what's he going to create?
• 1:38:51
  What did? What is he going to do for this
• 1:38:52
  clubhouse that makes us better since we lost huge dynamics of
• 1:38:57
  the clubhouse. Yeah, you have Frankie, you have
• 1:39:00
  what it is. And obviously the reports of
• 1:39:04
  Seeger and Simeon didn't like each other.
• 1:39:07
  I don't know if you guys read that.
• 1:39:09
  Yeah, I'm just like. Well.
• 1:39:12
  All right, well, if that's. The way it is, yeah.
• 1:39:14
  Simeon's on the field all the time, we get it.
• 1:39:17
  But is he necessarily a clubhouse guy?
• 1:39:20
  Because Seeger's a baseball dude.
• 1:39:22
  He knows what a clubhouse means to players.
• 1:39:26
  So if if you want to keep the clubhouse, it's hard sometimes
• 1:39:30
  because it's very intimidating to come into a clubhouse as a
• 1:39:34
  young guy. But if you got young dudes to
• 1:39:36
  lean on and be like, damn, you know, this is a lot different
• 1:39:40
  than I thought it would be. But you got a guy that's doing
• 1:39:44
  the same thing and kind of in your same boat.
• 1:39:47
  But what is he doing that that is going to add value not not
• 1:39:51
  only on the mound because I think it goes different and you
• 1:39:57
  got to create the. Clubhouse to win.
• 1:39:59
  And I don't really know what he brings to that aspect.
• 1:40:02
  All right, well, all righty then it.
• 1:40:07
  Is. Is there one more?
• 1:40:09
  Question is there anybody? Else because I want to give him
• 1:40:12
  an opportunity anymore. All right, we'll do give me one
• 1:40:14
  more. I will do one more give me one
• 1:40:16
  more. I just want to I'll just answer
• 1:40:18
  because I feel bad. This one is rusty wheel 17.
• 1:40:21
  He says Stearns has been working on both these trades for quite a
• 1:40:23
  while meant Louise Roberts since the trade deadline last year and
• 1:40:26
  then Peralta. Obviously it's with the
• 1:40:27
  connection since winter meeting so he feels like he got a
• 1:40:30
  bargain based on his negotiation.
• 1:40:32
  By the way, thank you Rusty quickly I'll give you my answer
• 1:40:34
  to this. You might be right.
• 1:40:35
  Maybe he has been working, maybe he has been really reaching in
• 1:40:38
  his bag of, you know, candy or you know, toys.
• 1:40:42
  Here's the facts. You don't have Peralta.
• 1:40:44
  Peralta's there for one more year and then you go on strike.
• 1:40:47
  He could sit out and say I'll wait until the strike season is
• 1:40:49
  over and get all the money I possibly can.
• 1:40:52
  This guy is still 28 years old. He's going to get a lot of money
• 1:40:54
  and and I'm especially if he wins 1718 games with the Mets.
• 1:40:58
  As far as again, the outfielder, you, you know what this kid is,
• 1:41:03
  he can't hit for crap. The guys right now in the last
• 1:41:06
  two years is is hitting 200. That's not good.
• 1:41:10
  And and you're getting that center field.
• 1:41:11
  That's an important offensive position that you need to get
• 1:41:14
  something out of and you're not getting any offense.
• 1:41:16
  So it's not a good move. And Rusty, thank you for giving
• 1:41:19
  us your take. But I I disagree with you and
• 1:41:22
  that's it. Roberts always hurt. 200 games
• 1:41:25
  in the last that's. Another thing too.
• 1:41:26
  That's another thing too, which I didn't mention.
• 1:41:28
  He's never healthy. And, and again, I, I love you
• 1:41:30
  guys, all the Mets fans. I know you guys want to see a
• 1:41:33
  win and you want to see a championship. 1986 was the last
• 1:41:36
  time you seen. I know I'm a Jet fan.
• 1:41:37
  I haven't seen a championship ever.
• 1:41:39
  I'm a Knick fan. I haven't seen a championship
• 1:41:41
  ever. But I've been a Yankee fan for
• 1:41:43
  many, many years of my life and I've seen a lot of
• 1:41:45
  championships. So I know what it is for one of
• 1:41:47
  my teams teams to win. I was an I, I was a Ranger fan
• 1:41:50
  when I was a younger kid and then I grew into an Islander
• 1:41:53
  fan. It's a long story.
• 1:41:55
  I never got a chance to see the Rangers win Well, and then when
• 1:41:57
  I did, I wasn't a Ranger fan. I was it was a year and then and
• 1:42:01
  as an Islander fan, I was too young to understand what the
• 1:42:04
  Islanders were doing. So I honestly, the only team
• 1:42:07
  that I ever saw that wins won a championship of this time is is
• 1:42:11
  the Yankees. So it says a lot on
• 1:42:14
  understanding what it takes to win championships, especially
• 1:42:16
  here in one of the hardest cities to really deal with media
• 1:42:20
  work and all the other stuff that the backlash that you can
• 1:42:22
  add, as Jabba would tell you, he knows all about about it.
• 1:42:25
  It's not easy working. It's not easy dealing with the
• 1:42:28
  media out here. So that's all I'm going to say
• 1:42:30
  about that. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:42:33
  we call this Tic Tac. No right in the butt.
• 1:42:41
  We get the prizes cheap. Because they're stolen.
• 1:42:44
  No. No, no.
• 1:42:47
  No, no, no. All.
• 1:42:52
  Right, ladies and gentlemen, the.
• 1:42:55
  Game that will make you cross eye, dude, Speedy.
• 1:43:03
  All right, so we'll start it off.
• 1:43:04
  We mentioned before that the Patriots and Broncos AFC
• 1:43:07
  Championship was the second lowest scoring of all time.
• 1:43:10
  The lowest scoring of all time was in 1982 when one team beat
• 1:43:14
  the other 14 and nothing. These are two division rivals.
• 1:43:17
  Name the winning and losing team again.
• 1:43:19
  You get 2 guesses, each 19. 82 I'm going to guess I wasn't
• 1:43:29
  alive yet. Philadelphia.
• 1:43:31
  And the Giants? Nope, Giants were not good in 82
• 1:43:34
  I'm. Guessing.
• 1:43:38
  Is it the? Bills.
• 1:43:40
  Nope. Not the Bills.
• 1:43:43
  Give me the Dolphins. Yep, and.
• 1:43:51
  Patriots. One of those is.
• 1:43:55
  Right, one of those one. Of those is wrong, so that means
• 1:43:59
  there's only one possible answer.
• 1:44:02
  Because we said that they're division rivals.
• 1:44:04
  And we've named the other two teams.
• 1:44:05
  In the division. So we're talking about The Jets
• 1:44:08
  then? Yep.
• 1:44:10
  Wonderful figure. That one out, yeah, All right,
• 1:44:15
  got that one so. The Dolphins.
• 1:44:16
  Beat The Jets 14. Nothing.
• 1:44:17
  Thank you. Thank you for pissing me off
• 1:44:20
  even more. Well, we knew that.
• 1:44:22
  We knew The Jets didn't. Win that game.
• 1:44:25
  Yeah. Well, what else is All right?
• 1:44:26
  I'll take the middle to start off our streak.
• 1:44:30
  Errol. Get a smile on your face.
• 1:44:32
  We got it right. It had to be The Jets.
• 1:44:36
  Another. AFC title game.
• 1:44:37
  Hey, I don't write the questions Speedy.
• 1:44:40
  'S face in that thing is. Makes me laugh every time.
• 1:44:45
  Yeah, he loves it. He loves when he when The Jets.
• 1:44:48
  Are on the back end. Anyways, go ahead.
• 1:44:51
  All right, so we'll do this one because it's the anniversary of
• 1:44:53
  Kobe Bryant's unfortunate death. Kobe Bryant scored 80 points in
• 1:44:57
  a game, one of two Lakers that have ever scored 70 in a game.
• 1:45:00
  Name the other 70 in a game. Yes, 70 in a game, Kareem.
• 1:45:11
  Nope. 17 new or. Old school, older.
• 1:45:26
  I mean, there's an obvious name, but.
• 1:45:29
  He was older by then. I'm going to guess, but yeah.
• 1:45:32
  Will Chamberlain? Nope.
• 1:45:34
  That's what I was. That's the one.
• 1:45:35
  He never did it with the Lakers. That's that's what I was.
• 1:45:38
  Going to say you know what the? If it's older.
• 1:45:43
  Oh, there's a name. Elgin Baylor.
• 1:45:45
  No Java gets. It.
• 1:45:47
  Wow, yeah. There's a famous Elgin Baylor.
• 1:45:51
  Game so Wilt Chamberlain. Did do it five times, but he
• 1:45:54
  never did it with. The Lakers All right, let's.
• 1:45:58
  Bring it back Java. Where do you want?
• 1:45:59
  To go, we'll go bottom, left, bottom.
• 1:46:02
  Left it is what? In what year did El because?
• 1:46:07
  I remember the game. 1971, I believe, was the year.
• 1:46:13
  Yeah. Sounds about right.
• 1:46:16
  All right, Speedy. You're going to have to stop us.
• 1:46:18
  On this one, All right, so we'll go to Carlos Beltran, who just
• 1:46:21
  got a duck that. Into the Hall of Fame Tideford
• 1:46:23
  all time with 21 runs scored in a single postseason tied with
• 1:46:28
  somebody that was his teammate at one point in his career named
• 1:46:31
  this player God I hate you speedy for this say that again
• 1:46:34
  like there's a. There's a random name in.
• 1:46:36
  My head. So the question is, Carlos
• 1:46:38
  Beltran had 20. One runs scored in a single
• 1:46:41
  postseason, which is time for the MLB record.
• 1:46:44
  The guy he's tied with, what's his teammate at one point in his
• 1:46:46
  career? It's so I have such a random
• 1:46:49
  name. Lance Berkman.
• 1:46:50
  Nope. All right, that's a That's a
• 1:46:52
  good one. I.
• 1:46:53
  I. 1. I don't know why, but Johnny.
• 1:46:59
  Damon comes to mind. Now I'm going to take a guess.
• 1:47:06
  I don't even know if he. Played with him but it's a
• 1:47:08
  guess. Albert Pools no.
• 1:47:12
  So it was actually an Astro but it was an Astro.
• 1:47:14
  More recent Astro and it's Altova, yes.
• 1:47:20
  I freaking hate 20. One did it did.
• 1:47:22
  It did 21 in 2021. And then they'll did it with the
• 1:47:26
  Astros in four. I'm assuming.
• 1:47:29
  You want to go for the block. Speedy.
• 1:47:30
  Yes, indeed. All right, all right, next.
• 1:47:33
  Question. Let's go for.
• 1:47:34
  Let's go to from. Hockey for this one, so
• 1:47:36
  obviously Alex Ovech in the. All time goal leader.
• 1:47:38
  There's one other Russian player ever who has 500 who isn't
• 1:47:42
  Fedorov. Nope, I.
• 1:47:45
  Believe he was at 473. Damn, go ahead, Jabba.
• 1:47:52
  I'd. Another.
• 1:47:56
  Russian that has There's two, there's two.
• 1:47:58
  Guys. It's one of the other.
• 1:48:08
  I'm I'm drawing a blank all right, I'm I'm could.
• 1:48:11
  I use your guesses. Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:48:13
  Alexander Mcgilly No. All.
• 1:48:16
  Right. Pavo Bori.
• 1:48:17
  Nope. Really.
• 1:48:18
  No, it was someone that's actually still playing in the
• 1:48:21
  league right now. It's Malkin.
• 1:48:24
  Oh my God. Oh my God.
• 1:48:27
  I think Mcgilly was right in that cluster.
• 1:48:28
  Too with Fedorov, I think he was at 4:53 or something like that.
• 1:48:32
  I'm not a surprise Federal didn't have 500, I could have
• 1:48:35
  sworn. He did.
• 1:48:36

  shows this year and great opportunities to see what we're

  So just looking forward to a great year and I hope everybody
• 1:51:27

• 1:51:33
  on the and hopefully it sticks. It's not like that.
• 1:51:36
  This show is not like that. It's hard work, dedication, all
• 1:51:38
  the guys, speedy and fish and all the guys that work on the
• 1:51:43
  back end to help this show really, you know, become
• 1:51:46
  something of a not only just a, you know, I believe one of the
• 1:51:50
  best shows in America, but one of the shows that I think people
• 1:51:54
  are copycatting and and trying to make their own, which is
• 1:51:58
  pathetic. And, and you know who I'm
• 1:52:00
  talking about. I don't even have to mention it.
• 1:52:02
  All you people out there that are trying to copycat us because
• 1:52:06
  you're just shamefully shameful enough to know that you have no
• 1:52:11
  create, create creativity, ability to go out there and, and
• 1:52:16
  put the, the time and effort into working and figuring out
• 1:52:19
  how you could be yourselves. So that's all I'm going to say.
• 1:52:22
  I almost stuttered on that, but that's it for our show.
• 1:52:24

• 1:52:27

  their season. Obviously, you know Travis

  Hunter, the Gremlin, you know, his quarterback that's had a
• 1:52:43
  pretty good second-half of the season.
