We're looking forward to a lot of good things that we can accomplish one another,
2:12
both on your network as well as ours. Well, yeah, thanks,
2:15
thanks so much for having me. Really appreciate it. It was great
2:16
talking to Georgian Jacob right off the bat. Feel real comfortable already. So
2:21
looking forward to, you know, contributing a lot of articles and doing a
2:23
lot of shows with you guys, and you guys coming on my show as
2:27
well. Why don't you give everybody a background information about what you're about,
2:30
how big your platform is, what your specialty is. I know you get
2:34
around you. Anybody can put on a clinic about these reels and all that
2:38
business and the way you master things. That's you. We could do a
2:40
full show on that, but we don't have time. But being way too
2:44
kind, Yeah, I'm on TikTok. You see it right there in Monty
2:46
Press two three one. In about a year, I have over five point
2:51
five million views on sports clips. I was working for another company. I
2:53
left them in May. We left on good terms and I started my own
2:58
YouTube channel, the Full Monty Sports Show Channel. I'm about to hit quarter
3:01
million views, two hundred and fifty thousand views on my YouTube shorts of my
3:05
show and my Facebook reels. Started that again on my own, not what
3:09
the media company I was working for. Thanksgiving I just hit twenty million views.
3:14
In the last five years, I've written over seven hundred sports articles,
3:16
so constantly grinding. Follow me on all sorts of social media. On Twitter,
3:22
Monty JP two three one, on Facebook, Monty Perez, and on
3:25
TikTok you can see all my sports clips. I do eighties, seventies,
3:29
nineties, and today I did one on Dan Marino this morning. I'm doing
3:32
one on Walter Payton tomorrow, and then I'm constantly, you know, updating,
3:37
doing clips from my show, my shows eleven am Sundays and then seven
3:40
pm on Monday. All right, so an addition to mind. And we
3:44
have the crew. George Iicorn, Welcome back, George, good to be
3:49
here again alive from the Motor City. And welcome Monty, thank you so
3:53
much, appreciate it. And Atlanta, GA by way of Quincy. No
4:00
old midwesterner myself, welcome here. We have We're happy to have you.
4:06
And Jacob and I were talking about Mitchell Trabinsky for you a Bears fans before
4:11
this opening stegments started, So talk about quarterbacks that actually won and you better
4:21
go back to Jim McMahon. Did you ever have much sense? So no,
4:25
but I'm talking. I'm talking about he whipped the Detroit regularly, so
4:28
I had fun with that. I figured you would. All right, anyways,
4:30
Well, now that you brought the Detroit situation, we're gonna segue exactly
4:34
to that. Mcgel Cabrera just passed Adrian Beltre, who had thirty one hundred
4:40
and sixty six hits and now stands at thirty one hundred and sixty seven for
4:44
sixteenth on the all time list. Cal Ripken is fifteenth with thirty one hundred
4:47
and eighty four. Well, might as will start off with a resident Detroit
4:50
or George. You think you might just get the cal Ripken. As much
4:56
as I wish he would, I doubt it very much. I mean,
4:59
he's done well though he has had a very good second half of the season.
5:02
If his batting average has improved tremendously. Again, he doesn't have much
5:06
power, just a couple of home runs this year. But you know,
5:11
it's been a fun season for him because he's getting a lot of accolades and
5:15
a lot of fun that the Farewell Tour has taken him all across the American
5:19
National League gifts galore donations for his foundation to help kids, which is beautiful
5:27
to all the gifts and the checks that he's gotten for that. But I
5:30
tell you what, you know, we're gonna miss him here in Detroit.
5:32
But it's been a it's been a great run, and I just don't think
5:36
he's got enough in not enough games left either to catch Ripken. You gotta
5:42
remember, he sits out like one out of every three or four games.
5:46
I don't know what a J. Hinch is going to do. I would
5:48
imagine I'll try to play him in every game when the final homestand starts.
5:54
But right now they're on the road, you know, the Dodgers series wraps
5:59
up today in they go to Oakland from there. But yeah, Scott,
6:01
I mean, it's been a tremendous asset to the community here in Detroit,
6:05
obviously to baseball in general. A great guy and what a wonderful careyer.
6:10
Obviously a first Hall of Famer first ballot. Of course that's gonna happen.
6:15
So he's done well. But I think he's going to be starting, you
6:17
know, staying that that position that he's in right now, would you say
6:23
sixteenth? Yeah? Even the hell of bell trailer, yep, But great
6:29
guys, Okay, money, Yeah, you know, it's amazing because you
6:34
I'm so shocked how baseball has changed. Right. We saw a few years
6:38
ago with the Kansas City Chiefs, I mean the Kansas cy Royals, how
6:41
they played small ball. They didn't live and die for the home run.
6:44
My Mets prime example. They live and die for the home run. You
6:47
see the Atlanta Braves who are putting up a historic home run numbers. It's
6:51
not going to be like we used to see where you're constant seeing guys getting
6:57
three thousand hits. You're not going to see that anymore. First of all,
7:00
players don't play like they used to. You don't see players playing one
7:01
hundred and fifty five, one hundred and fifty six games. They rest a
7:05
lot. They don't care about hits. They care about RBIs and home runs.
7:10
Even the stolen base has really gone, you know, by the wayside.
7:15
So it's amazing to me when you're seeing you know, like an Albert
7:17
Pool host last year. Go look at Albert poolhost's stats. So what that
7:21
guy did for average home run power? It's Pete Alonso is one of the
7:26
best home run hitters in the league. For the last five years, he's
7:28
batting under two thirty this year, so you know, it's not about the
7:31
hits anymore. Unfortunately, it's about driving in runs, scoring runs. So
7:36
I don't think we're going to see the likes of many players playing that long
7:43
to get three thousand hits and for nothing else what they make in one year
7:47
a cal ripman made in seven, eight, nine years. So what's the
7:50
motivation to play for fifteen twenty years when when you're making twenty five million.
7:56
I mean, Shoeyotani is going to get paid fifty million dollars. Yeah,
8:01
yeah, yeah, that's true. Statement. Yep, I won't Jacob,
8:05
you get to follow that. Well, here's the thing, sho Hey,
8:09
I'm Tony. Also will never pitch again unless it was by coming. I
8:11
think people keep talking about one who pitch to twenty five and when he's sitting
8:15
three thirty to three fifty next year, he will not. He will see
8:18
how much stamina he's got, and you're seeing that. But as far as
8:20
Miggy, if he makes it, it'll be dead last game of the year,
8:24
just because you said he sits one out every four. But the but
8:28
the thing is, you can't tell because we had Adam Wayne right, just
8:33
get number two hundred, which will be a rare number very very soon.
8:37
He got number two hundred and took he was and he we thought, this
8:39
is gonna be easy. And then they the Cardinals had a horrible year and
8:43
his curveball kind of stands there and he went three months without a win.
8:46
They're like, is this gonna happen. He's gonna be stuck in one ninety
8:50
eight. All of a sudden he gets up one zero and two to one
8:52
to win two of them in a row, and when he gets it,
8:54
you can't tell if at the end he threw some jams too through some absolute
9:00
gems, so it's like you can't tell what you're going in and the next
9:03
game you probably give up eight runs and does all that thing if he was
9:05
the pitch again, So time for him to go to country music and be
9:09
fun with it. But as far as Mickey, he's getting hot at the
9:13
right time. But I mean, all the struggles he had and shows it's
9:18
his time to go. So if he breaks that record will be dead.
9:20
Last game of the year, and what a way to go out. I'm
9:24
gonna go back to Monti's point, because that was really good. You think
9:26
all the money that these guys are making then, you know, but I
9:30
will never compare baseball to any other sport in terms of load management because you
9:33
know, they play as often as they can. Yeah, that is true.
9:35
I mean should improve of that was on Sunday when I covered the Marlins
9:39
and the Braise and the Marylin's whacked the Brave sixteen to two. But the
9:41
reality is when I saw that starting lineup for the Braves, they had all
9:46
their heavy hitters in there, and the Marylin's had a lot. So load
9:48
management are two words that are not going to repeat, not associated with Major
9:54
League Baseball. Well, I will say this. I will say one of
9:58
the things that the stirred me last year with Buck Showalter is he kind of
10:03
manages these games like pat Riley did when he first came to the Miami Heat,
10:07
meaning pat Riley in December would would manage a game like it's a seventh
10:11
game of the NBA Finals. Buck Showalter let Pete Alonzo Francisco Indoor play injured
10:18
because these guys want to play every day. And the last fifteen games in
10:22
the playoffs, the Mets had no second or third gear. So I understand
10:26
what you're saying. I don't want my players to play one hundred and twenty
10:28
games. But there's no reason for the Braves now to keep playing their players
10:33
five six games games a week when you want you want them fresh for the
10:35
playoffs. Well, and the other thing with the Braves, I'm here another
10:39
thing with the Braves. They have got so much depth it's insane. I
10:43
know they could. You could put their second nine out there and they're gonna
10:46
score six. I mean, Matt Olson. Matt Olson. Let people forget
10:50
Freddy Freeman, and Freddy Freeman was a god there. I know exactly.
10:54
Trust tell you one thing I'm not. I'm not Ray Charles. And I
10:58
saw all those players play on Sunday, and it was good to see the
11:01
reality is it was good to see that nobody was really resting. These guys
11:05
are playing. And let's talk about Matt Olsen. The last thought I saw,
11:09
he had what fifty two home runs, so he broke the Braves record.
11:11
I don't know if he's had any more since. But you know so,
11:13
no, I mean, major League Baseball is not load management. I
11:18
get it. I totally understand it. Okay, but mine, you talked
11:22
about these guys getting paid so much money that they don't have to play as
11:24
long as other ones. Therefore, these records and numbers are going to stand
11:28
the test of time even longer. But still for what Miguel Cabrera didn't can
11:31
you and I know this is pure hypothetical, so I run to all of
11:35
y'all. Okay, can you only imagine how many more hits he'd had if
11:39
he wasn't hurt? Oh yeah, that I wondered a little bit. Doesn't
11:43
happen so so but anyways, yeah, you know, and again I'll go
11:46
back to what Jacob said. If he does manage to get the Ripken's number,
11:50
probably be done at the the last year. One thing I will say
11:54
about Comparer before he closed this one out. It was so good here in
11:58
my me to see him play all three games in this time for the Miami
12:03
Marlins. It really was. You know what was so good about it is
12:05
he was healthy to do it, and the Marlins made out like bandits at
12:09
the game, because we know that Miami and Marlins are a tough draw down
12:13
as the old Orange or site. Can I add one thing to so the
12:18
World Baseball Classic we saw it and how emotional it was. But as a
12:22
Met fan, I didn't want it because Diaz went out. How do you
12:26
guys feel about that? Should they be playing in the World Baseball Classic.
12:31
I got no problem. I'll say this. You know, it's a tough
12:33
thing to say because in the way you want them to build to stay healthy
12:37
and they and they don't stay healthy the way they used to, or they
12:39
don't play through the same things they used to. At the same time,
12:43
you are, oh, what the heck happened? Yeah, but the but
12:46
here's the thing to say, No matter what, you got to build the
12:50
game of baseball, it has been the one that sucked the most anyway money
12:54
I was saying this, the game has sunk in comparison to a lot of
13:00
games that they're trying to build it back, trying to get kids into it
13:03
so the World Baseball Classic will get there. So it's tough to say,
13:07
but this was the game that almost practically could get get passed up by soccer
13:11
just because of the boredom if they didn't make some decisions that they made.
13:15
So it's tough to say on that. That's all I can say is I
13:20
like the World Baseball Classic and it's great where everybody gets to play each other
13:22
during the time of the year spring training when they can't do that. Yeah,
13:28
okay, on where as we go. We're going to the NFL though
13:31
this time, and we're gonna talk about Tom Brady on Shadorg Sanders owning a
13:35
Rolls Royce Tom Brady quote. Okay, this is fun. I like this.
13:39
He needs to get his ass in the film room and spend as much
13:43
time in there as possible and less time in that car. As my nephew
13:46
Peter would say, CA. Okay, but he's he's a he's a little
13:50
titled. He's not a tittler anymore. It's five or six years old.
13:54
But I can tell you this thing in that car, all right, George.
13:56
So he's so he's from Boston. I don't know, ye are,
14:03
dude, five or six year olds losey are signed when they're young. I
14:07
don't know. I'm not gonna try to have as I have two kids,
14:09
all right, George, Okay, we'll try as he may. I mean,
14:13
Brady, you're not going to change what this kid is doing. I'm
14:16
just you know, I understand where you're coming from. You know, these
14:20
kids in college, I mean it's like they're getting paid already in some cases
14:24
and rolls Royce. Wow. Wow, I mean it was just like that's
14:28
when he drives. I couldn't believe it. But you know, Tom,
14:31
a little bit of tongue in cheek there. You've got no rights saying that.
14:35
You don't know if he's in the film room long enough or not come
14:37
on unless his daddy Dion told you that. So I mean a little bit
14:41
of flow and humor I think Tom obviously is having. But yeah, I
14:46
would have and I never would have dreamed that that would have happened. But
14:50
things have all changed in college football and name, image and likeness and all
14:56
that stuff. So but yeah, it's it's kind of a using. I
15:00
got to kick out of Brady's quotes. We'll remember before I turn over the
15:05
money, Okay, and that's it. Tom Brady was supposed to be doing
15:09
games on Fox at this time of the year, was a ten year,
15:11
three hundred and seventy five million dollars, and he hasn't made his way to
15:15
the broadcast moods. So this is probably the closest he ended up getting to
15:18
the broadcast mood and shuduor Sanders was on the wrong side of the Tom Brady
15:24
tongue. Okay, compared to the other players that he would be on the
15:26
gridiron. But that said, I'm gonna go ahead and Transitiontive over to Monty
15:31
Perez. What do you think, mister? So this is Tom Brady who
15:33
said in an interview that his kids will never know what it's like to ride
15:37
a bus, to wait in line for a plane, to wait in line
15:41
for a trade. His kids have never wanted anything that they couldn't get.
15:46
Listen, whatever should door Sanders is doing, keep doing it. He's gonna
15:50
be a top ten pick. He's one of the most accurate pastors I've seen
15:54
in college in a long time. Listen, they're gonna lose by double digits
15:58
to my Oregon Ducks because their defense is terrible and Oregon is so underrated it's
16:03
unbelievable. But listen, let the kid. This is why college players get
16:08
paid. And I will say this about the two Sanders as kids. You
16:11
know, they've had everything in their life because their dad is a multi millionaire,
16:17
but they're still hungry. You don't see You didn't see that with Michael
16:21
Jordan's kids. You don't see that with a lot of great athletes kids.
16:23
I also say this about Lebron James. Lebron James's kids are working out with
16:29
him at the Lakers' facilities almost all summer, right, and you look at
16:33
what Dion is doing with his kids. Whatever Dion has done, he's raising
16:37
his kids. They know what to say on a microphone. They're feisty.
16:42
When his friend got that cheap shot, who was the first person to go
16:48
up and get in the Colorado State defenders face? It was Shador Sanders,
16:52
the quarterback. I didn't like that. The lineman should have went there.
16:55
This kid's a leader. This kid's he's got a good head on his shoulders.
17:00
If he wants to enjoy two hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred thousand
17:03
dollars whatever in this car, he's earned it. Jacob, Well, it's
17:10
a Mercedes Maybox for one thing, not a Rolls Royce bud see. So
17:12
it's a Mercedes Maybox. But it was like, a yeah, it's one
17:15
hundred and ninety thousand dollars car. But it's like the biggest thing, the
17:19
biggest thing with this whole situation is the fact that he is exceptionally, exceptionally
17:25
accurate. He's doing wonderful By the way. Yes, Oregon will win and
17:27
also be an overtime, it'll bead overtime. It's not gonna be it is
17:32
not gonna be a double digit I mean, I mean, Colorado's got every
17:34
bit of the offense, they just don't have the defense. The biggest,
17:38
biggest thing though, that we see with this is the fact that you want
17:42
to know what we're gonna see now is the fact that we're going to see
17:45
a change. Dion is going to control where Shadur is going to the NFL.
17:51
Because notice on a big thing video, there's a little video where they're
17:55
talking about Shular going to the NFL, and here's the day going he going
17:57
yet. I can tell you why he said he going yet, And there's
18:00
nothing she door can say. I can tell you why he's saying you can't
18:03
go yet, because the two teams are gonna have the chance at the number
18:07
one pick going to be at he's in that level are the Bears and the
18:11
Cardinals who will handle who handled these quarterbacks horribly? Yeah, he's not going
18:17
to allow anyone to handle the shdor to give him three yards that you give
18:21
these three yards screens all the time. He's not going to allow it,
18:25
which means huh no, But Jacob I was gonna say, other than the
18:29
Chargers with Justin Herbert that had weapons. It's not easy if you're a top
18:34
five pick to go to a team that has Let's look at my Jets.
18:38
The Jets suck every year and they keep getting draft picks. Let's look at
18:42
the Lions up until recently. How many draft picks did they get. So
18:45
if Shdor doesn't go this year, that's fine. There's no pressure on him
18:48
to go because financially he doesn't have to take you know, take care of
18:52
his family. But how is he going to avoid going to a crappy team
18:56
the NFL rewards incompetence. No, no, he'll no, he'll control,
19:00
He'll control the trade. This is where we're at. Well, and you
19:06
know what money I was just about to say that. Don't say. Nobody's
19:08
gonna sit here and tell me that Eli Manning was destined to play for the
19:11
Chargers. You know, well, Archie Manning was behind that playing. No,
19:18
Deon's gonna control that because he's gonna control it's gonna control the trade.
19:22
Yeah, well, yeah, well he's not gonna do as I said.
19:25
It's gonna be there's some for some reason, he can't make a control of
19:27
something. He didn't give himself a chance. He's gonna get a control someone
19:30
brought up. I saw it on you as a Bears fan. I see
19:33
these morons on Twitter all the time. You'll see me bash him like crazy
19:37
and beat the dead horse on him. You'll see it all the time when
19:40
you see my Twitter, and it's like David put putting Shandor Sanders in a
19:44
Bears jersey. I said, if you see Shandor Sanders in a Bears Jerry,
19:47
you'll see Dion as a coach. He's not going to and you'll see
19:49
Tom Brady as the quarterback coach. That is. I'm not saying that's going
19:53
to happen. I'm saying that's exactly the reason you would go to Chicago is
19:57
Dad's gonna watch you. He's not going to allow the Matt ever Flus and
20:03
Matt Nagy and all these ridiculousness with his kid. He's going to give you
20:08
the very best. And by the way, Tom Brady could easily be his
20:11
quarterback coach. Yeah, but Deon Camp bring eighty one players to the Bears
20:17
like it's Colorado. Understood. But he could, he could control the situation.
20:22
Yea, go ahead, twenty four. He won't be able to do
20:27
it after that. At that point. Another he's playing in the NFL.
20:30
He's gonna play for overtakes him. It's just an Imperial. He'll play for
20:33
those two teams. Staying on point though, I'll just say this. You
20:37
know Tom Brady, as I said, you know, isn't commentating for Fox,
20:41
So I guess the closest thing is going to get to it. And
20:45
let's not forget that he does have a stake in the Raiders, right,
20:48
so you never know. He's a piece of that interest there. So yeah,
20:52
all right, hold on, Jacob, all right, go ahead.
20:55
He's got real quickly. I wanted to say this about Tom Brady. He
20:57
signed that big deal and stuff like that. Guess what. All four of
21:02
us are mastered communicators. All four of us are master communicators. I'm an
21:07
acting I've been I'm a trained actor. You've been on the TV. Two
21:10
have been on TV. You're obviously good MATI you know I've met you for
21:12
the first time. We're all mastered communicators. It is not thirty second sound
21:18
by. It's not the same as having to think with scripts and do all
21:22
that stuff on TV and with your makeup and undergotten. He has to get
21:26
trained, and he might get to the point where he just doesn't want to
21:30
do because it takes so much training to do this. All right, But
21:33
Jacob, Jacob, let's standpoint here. Okay, I want to make sure
21:37
we really do standpoint because there's a lot of ways that this can go.
21:41
The reality is this. When I brought this up, you know, we're
21:44
talking about Shador Sanders and a Rolls Royce and Tom Brady says, don't think.
21:48
I think you've better be studying in the playbook. Playbook more. Let's
21:52
not lose sight of the fact that all he's done is one several Super Bowls.
21:55
So it's not like it's a bad source on you stay out of the
21:57
car and stay in and continue to study. Okay, and I can bet
22:03
you I'll put it think. I bet you Tom Brady can can be coming
22:04
to see on private QB coach. Maybe he could, but right now he
22:08
might even be doing it now. They text each other all the time.
22:11
Yeah, well, here, let's go to the chat room here, Sandra
22:15
Anthony Bianchi, thanks a lot for joining us. Sanders to the Broncos.
22:18
If that's the case, well, you know, I'll tell you if if
22:21
Sean Payton has any sense, it probably would happen. But we'll see how
22:23
that one plays. It's not the worst place to go. Never Never get
22:27
by city to the Broncos. Daddy will be able to keep an eye on
22:32
you all the way from Boulders. Sure, yeah, to go never bat
22:37
No, I know. But my point is is this. I don't totally
22:41
disagree with Tom Brady at all. From a guy that's won a lot of
22:45
Super Bowls and a guy that's made Bill Belichick irrelevant because they haven't won anything
22:49
since Brady left. So let's not forget that either. So whether you're in
22:53
the Rolls, Royce, the film room, I do completely understand Tom Brady's
22:59
point. We'll see where it goes, all right, we'll stay to the
23:02
Bay Area. Christian McCaffrey eleven games in a row with a touchdown. We'll
23:06
make a twelve on Thursday night versus the New York Giants. George I Korn
23:11
Sure, why not? I mean, you know, Christian is a good
23:15
player and it always has been, I think, and I know he's been
23:18
been set with injuries, but yeah, No, I think he certainly can
23:22
do it. You know, anything's possible. As we know week to week
23:26
the NFL, you don't know what's going to happen any week. Any given
23:30
week. We've found that out Lions fans thought they were gonna have a cake
23:33
walk over Seattle and that didn't turn out too well, did it. So
23:37
yeah, I mean, you know it's it's my prediction would be, yeah,
23:41
yeah, that he's going to be able to do that. What billion
23:45
money. I think this game is going to be over at halftime. I
23:49
think you know, we've seen what Daniel Jones does without Barkley in the lineup.
23:55
It's it's like two different quarterbacks. Barkley's not gonna play. So this
23:59
might be an opportunity where San Francisco is up two three touchdowns and McCaffrey get
24:03
they start to run it. I know that San Francisco loves to run it,
24:07
but they start to run it more kill the clock. So I look
24:10
for McCaffrey to get probably two touchdowns here. I wouldn't play Brandon Iyuk.
24:15
He's struggling with an injury. They were talking today about him shooting up.
24:18
You do not need Brandon i Yuk to beat the New York Giants Without Barkley,
24:22
the Giants have been awful. They came back and beat a bad Arizona
24:26
team, so giving them credit. But I think we're gonna see like a
24:29
thirty seven ten score. It's gonna be over by halftime. And I wish
24:33
there was two games on Thursday night like they do on Monday night. Okay,
24:37
well, so in other words, we've got two people's say yes twelve
24:41
and Jacob, I guess you're going to be the obvious third choice that says
24:45
it too, right, Yeah, and he'll hear that we score and they
24:48
And the biggest thing about is the reason there's two on Monday nights because of
24:51
the writers strike, the writers an actor strike. They need, they need
24:55
some the plates to put they need, they need programming. But no,
24:59
yeah, he will and I think it's gonna be one past one, one
25:02
past one run. He'll get that, he'll get his one yard but guarantee
25:04
one will be the one yard in and they'll get on their fourth play because
25:08
there's such see I said on Twitter the other night and on Facebook the other
25:11
night, I absolutely believe that Miami can win the dank thing. But just
25:15
because of two it if they stay healthy, But boy, San Francisco's just
25:18
as lethal. Fiptist's office is just as lethal, and it's like, and
25:23
they'll get down then four to five. It's like the only difference is I'm
25:26
not sure if Perty is yeah, I mean, I'm not sure if Perty
25:30
is anything past the system quarterback, but they are. That's both. I
25:34
would love to see that super Bowl San Francisco in Miami. They are both
25:37
lethal offenses and then so it's gonna be fun. Well, many years ago
25:41
they did face some one another. Sup. Yeah, forty nine ers easily
25:45
got the best. I think that was Dan Marino's only super Bowl. If
25:48
I recalled frankly, I was running in the area. I'll just say that's
25:52
really quickly to close out the topic, because I have one that's going to
25:55
take a conservable more time than this one, no doubt about it. McCaffrey's
25:59
twelve year old. That's all. I'll leave that one short and sweet,
26:03
because the next one's gonna be loaded. We talked about a George Ikorn been
26:06
on the Sports Exchange. I don't know if you have it on the slate
26:07
for Pundit's Pundet tomorrow. Jacob haven't seen that lineup yet, but I'm going
26:11
to put it on tonights. Anyways, the XFL and the USFL are advanced
26:15
talks to merge. The deal could be completed before the twenty twenty fourth season,
26:19
creating one alternative football league to the NFL. According to ax Sales,
26:22
I'm gonna lead off on this one, and I'll tell you why, because
26:26
once upon a time I covered the original United States Football League. And yes,
26:30
I did meet Donald Trump in the USFL championship game in eighty four,
26:33
back up in the hotel room with a bunch of other guys. Hey listen,
26:37
I'm not talking politics. I met the guy. It was terrific.
26:40
Well yeah, well all right, come on, Jacob. You know I
26:44
don't want to lose my thought. And if anybody's capable of throwing me off,
26:47
you're definitely really good at it. So but anyways, I covered the
26:51
original USFL. Here's what's going to end up happening at this thing, that
26:56
league or the once they merge. You're going to see an eighteen game regular
27:00
season is what you're going to see. You may not see games in February,
27:03
you might see them probably, I would say, maybe later February early
27:07
March. But you're gonna have an eighteen game schedule, is what you're going
27:12
to have. And then of course you're gonna have an awful lot of markets,
27:17
and you've gotta have an awful lot of TV partners. So I really
27:19
like it. You might as well put them all together and unite them.
27:23
Both. George and I both know that. You know, when Kart and
27:27
then the Indie Racing League divided, it was never good until they had to
27:32
reunite it. I don't want to get in all the racing, but you
27:33
see a situation there. We all saw what happened many years ago in the
27:37
the NFC on the NFL and the AFL merge all that turned out of spring
27:41
football will make it. We've had two years years where both of them are
27:45
getting on footing. So you're looking at an eighteen game schedule and you're going
27:49
to see an awful lot of prosper players play, and they're going to see
27:53
increased practice squads, and these leagues are going to be so dynamite now because
27:59
they need that program during the spring. They really really do. I am
28:02
totally in all favor of it, and it would be great to see happen
28:07
next year, all right, George, go ahead. Well, I yeah,
28:11
I'm looking forward to that happening, the merger, but I don't know
28:15
if that eighteen weeks is going to work out. And the reason being is
28:19
you probably don't want to start till after the Super Bowl, which is now
28:22
what the second Sunday of February, and you ed to be the first and
28:26
then if you tack on eighteen games plus the playoffs, you're you're going into
28:30
July, and I don't think they're gonna want to do that. Training camps
28:33
for the NFL start in July. But that being said, Scott, I'm
28:37
not here to argue whether it's sixteen or eighteen games. The fact of the
28:41
matter is this is a good sign because, as I mentioned on the show
28:45
last night, the stands were not nearly fall anywhere near fall here in Detroit
28:53
for the Michigan Panthers and their season. So putting more teams together and a
29:00
bigger league is it makes complete sense to me. And you also want to
29:03
be able to have the best football. Okay, so you've got two different
29:08
leagues, you're dividing the quality, you're dividing the quality of the product is
29:11
being diluted. So I'm all for it, and you're right. The media
29:17
partners are there, Fox, ESPN, ABC, NBC. No, I
29:22
don't know what happened to CBS. They don't have no part in it.
29:25
But the rest of the major networks that cover the NFL are covering either XFL
29:30
or USFL. So to me, it's a good thing. Just please keep
29:33
that franchise in Detroit at Ford Field because I like it. I went to
29:38
a few games. It was a good brand of football. All right.
29:41
Let me mention a couple of things really quickly. If indeed they stay with
29:44
the eighteen games, then I wouldn't be surprised if indeed they stay in February.
29:48
You know what Anthony Bianchi and the chat room says, Audi Arabia just
29:52
entered the chat as a bitter You know. I don't know about that,
29:55
But all I'll say about to that answer is anything as possible, and I'm
29:57
leaving it at that. I don't want to go any an take over.
30:02
Okay, So here's my thought process with this. Spinoffs don't work, right,
30:07
Joanie loves Chachi never worked after Happy Days, right. The only spinoff
30:11
that worked was Frazier after cheers, right. We saw Joey leave friends that
30:18
didn't work. The problem I have with these leagues is that, as a
30:22
fan, why am I going to be invested with a guy who's thirty two
30:30
years old, never really played in the NFL. Where's the emotional attachment?
30:34
I don't have any What these leagues should do is partnered up and become sort
30:41
of a minor league team for the Detroit Lions, a spring team for the
30:45
Jets, and at the end of the season, two of those players,
30:49
the coaches send them to the Jets training camp, and the fans get to
30:55
vote for one other player. So three players from this league can go to
30:59
the Jets training camp. You're invested. I don't want to see a thirty
31:03
four year old quarterback who was a journeyman in the NFL all of a sudden,
31:10
you know, lead a team to a championship. It doesn't mean anything
31:11
to me. It doesn't mean I have no emotional investment in spring football.
31:18
I love college football, I love pro football. If the product is good,
31:22
I will watch it. But the product's never gonna be good because if
31:26
it was that good, they'd be in the NFL. Joey was not good
31:30
on his own. He was good on friends, so spinoffs don't work.
31:33
So all my friends are so excited about the merger and more football. I'm
31:38
not tell me how you really feel money, he just did. Great Minds,
31:45
Think alike, you better get us to that anchor and the MGMTA because
31:48
everybody on this show is gonna be quiz on GMTA money and you're don't different
31:52
GMTA. What does it mean? Money? Say it? I didn't hear
31:56
what you said. I just heard out. Everyone's gonna be quizzing by minds.
32:00
Think alike, did you hear? Okay? God, all right,
32:01
you'll be quizzed next time? All right, just kidding with you. Well,
32:05
I'm not really kidding. They know me. Great minds thinking like,
32:07
you'll throw where you get it. You'll get in here full every time we're
32:08
covering games together, so you get in more places. I got it,
32:12
I got I just listen. They will never be great football because if these
32:16
guys were great, they'd be in the NFL. Well, here, you
32:22
know, you just got yourself a fan here, so hang on. And
32:23
since you have a fan mine here and charge of reading it. Go ahead,
32:28
all right, love Monty's point making a chance for mediocre players to climb
32:31
the ladder. Yeah, if these guys, if it was like a why
32:36
why is is the G League so successful now? Because those players go to
32:39
the NBA. When they play well, they get promoted. Okay, all
32:45
right, Jacob, you've had her all of us. Let's take and I'll
32:50
tell you this part. The thirty four year old that's gonna lead them to
32:53
the title game or whatever. It's kind of fun, but it's also kind
32:58
of comedy to watch the third four year old, like a Paxton Lynch or
33:01
whatever, bomb Dad, three interceptions, first half dead. You know,
33:08
it's fun to that. But here's the thing about what makes this work as
33:12
far as the merger. You're I brought que rating earlier remembered Monny brought que
33:16
rating. You're combining the que rating of the Rock with the with the media
33:22
outlet of the USFL, because the USFL is the better media outlet. So
33:27
you're combining both and it's like USFL has the better media outlet, but not
33:31
the eyes, if you will. The UXFL doesn't have the media outlet,
33:36
but they got the eyes. It's like you've got I mean, the Rock
33:38
is exceptionally popular, and then you've got all this. I mean, how
33:43
popular is he? Oh, they could have that little they could have that
33:46
little lawsuit that they had with together versus X. And of course, of
33:51
course the media thought it was Rock versus the women. Of course it wasn't.
33:54
It was Danny. It was Danny just squashing them. But you know
33:59
it's the media will do. And but that's the thing, it's like me,
34:02
he is so loved that you can be able to do something like this.
34:07
Get another And then there's also another thing. I have to say.
34:08
Everybody keeps saying, well, they lost money the first year, they're gonna
34:12
lose money in the next five years. When you start a league, you
34:15
have to get rents for the you have to get rents and the leases for
34:19
the stadiums. You have to get uniforms, you have to pay the players.
34:22
You have to do all that. You're not gonna see anything of any
34:25
profit for the next first five years. And that's what red, that's what
34:30
what's the red whatever? Whatever? The I forget who's covering it in it's
34:35
like it's the Rock. And then there's read something as far as the whoever
34:38
the money man are, I forget the name for a second, but they're
34:42
saying they're trying to like their money back, and it's like, if you're
34:45
getting into a new league and you're paying the Rock or the Danny and all
34:50
of them and you want your money back, it's like you should have been
34:52
stupid enough to figure getting money you're back in your first season. You're not
34:54
gonna get money back for five years. And that's the thing. Well,
35:00
Jacob Billy, lets say it's number one. Neither of these leagues are going
35:02
broke because he got money behind him with all these tving networks, so unlike
35:07
in the past, Okay, they didn't have money with all these networks,
35:10
and Dawayne Rock Johnson, they're not gonna they can afford to absorb these losses.
35:15
They got a product to sell during the spring. So nobody's going broke
35:20
over these You know all know that Dwayne Rock Johnson, the Rock Johnson is
35:25
a very confident business band with his ex wife, and you also have a
35:30
lot of great television partners. All right, I take it a little while
35:32
longer, and not like the old USFL or they were getting in a bidding
35:37
war with the NFL where they were going to go broke faster. I covered
35:39
that league don't tell me that Jim Kelly made penny's on the dollar. There,
35:44
don't tell me that Steve Young didn't make ENnies on the dollar. Don't
35:46
sit here and tell me herschel Walson Walker made pennies on the dollar. Okay,
35:51
And the rest of the little list goes on this time. Their salaries
35:53
are capped a lot, and they fall in line with what the budget is.
35:57
So I'm not a math major, and I'm ever pretend to be.
36:00
And I can tell you right now, my late father in law, fred
36:04
Eveling, I would never pass his math class either, because he would have
36:07
been he would have been hard. Thankfully I got his daughter instead. But
36:09
that's beside the point. But the reality is they're not going to go broke.
36:14
And you know what, remember money, And I know all of us
36:16
are in the media here. What are you gonna have during the spring.
36:21
You think you're gonna depend on NASCAR to carry you through that program? Good
36:23
luck? The only time anybody cares about NASCAR is a Daytona five hundred.
36:28
What about spring training? Those games aren't live? Se must I had some
36:30
live programming, and spring football more than fills the void. If you can
36:35
think of something else they're gonna put in their money. I'm all ears.
36:38
I've said this numerous times. The NBA should start their season on Christmas.
36:44
No one watches the NBA in October November when the NFL is on, you
36:49
start the games on Christmas. Same thing with the NHL. Why are you
36:52
competing against the NFL when when April, May, June, July, or
36:57
it's open, it's open. So start the season so you can monopolize and
37:01
get you know, full value of it. I don't. I'm an NBA
37:05
guy. I don't watch it until Christmas anyway. I'm not too involved with
37:08
football. We used to be an NBA got high when it was good.
37:13
That's why we had to show once upon a time called basketballs on it because
37:15
we've talked about everything good, not everything that's bad. Jacob and I were
37:20
on it when Denzel snips and we all had a good time with it.
37:22
But I agree. But the reality is that they do start a little bit
37:24
earlier. But you know, football will be football during the spring and people
37:28
will watch it, and more so when they start seeing more of these players
37:30
make it the NFL rosters and you talk about the NFL draft, then there
37:35
is an appetite for football during the spring. There really is, and once
37:39
upon a time they had the World League of American Football. The only reason
37:42
why that league didn't succeed it was too expensive run that operation overseas. But
37:45
the idea was good, it really was. So I'm with you, and
37:50
that's why I brought this topic up because I realized that there's an appetite for
37:52
football during the spring. Whether you like it or you don't. I mean,
37:57
that's subject to anybody's opinion. We all have opinions on it. But
38:00
I've always felt that the NFL needed a good feeder system that other guys can
38:05
play and get more film on. And we had coach Bonamega, John Bonnamega.
38:07
I don't know if you've heard of him, You probably had money.
38:10
But he comes on our show Inside the Pickton and he's glad that they're gonna
38:14
probably do it anyway because there's more coaching opportunities out there coaches. So you
38:19
can't like that. I mean, I don't want to see a Steve Spurrier
38:22
coaching it. Like I'm sorry, man, like I've seen you. I
38:24
like, you know, I know the guy loves to coach and he may
38:28
bring fans, and but I want to see young upcoming coaches develop and he
38:32
would be a great thing have have a defensive coordinator for your team, be
38:37
the head coach or something like that. You know what I'm saying, Money,
38:39
And you know what, here's the thing that will probably happen. A
38:43
lot of younger coaches are going to get opportunities. African Americans might even get
38:46
more opportunities to get noticed as well, so they're you know, again,
38:51
developmental coaches. There might be some of the older guys and you're that's a
38:53
great point, Money that you just brought up. You're gonna see younger coaches
38:58
and developing this link to get an opportunity to land in the NFL. So
39:02
this is nothing but good in terms of developmental and a feeder system. But
39:07
there's no way that anybody would ever be able to go out there and compete
39:09
against it. Go ahead, and Jacob, well, one of the things
39:13
that's going to happen too is they saw somebody bring up Sudi Arabia earlier and
39:16
they brought this part and it's like the rock is right backward. He's got
39:20
himself a little mini contract with ww right now. A few months because especially
39:24
with the w g A and the SAG and strike, so he's basically getting
39:30
himselves some extra money there. Ww's gonna go over to Pseudi Arabia. They're
39:34
going over there for Crown Jewel. He'll be there, I promise you,
39:37
because they Pseudi Arabia loves a big name. They keep trying to get whole
39:44
Kogan to wrestle and there's absolutely not gonna happened seventy years old, but they
39:47
just try to get names. The Rock will be there, you know,
39:51
darn Goodwell, he's probably gonna find some names to try to help with that
39:54
money, you know, with the U SFL and the XFL. So he'll
39:59
he will do negotiation. Listen, if they did it in golf, they'll
40:01
do it in the NFL. Everything goes to the highest, better money talks.
40:07
And you know what, we're leaving it on that note, because that's
40:08
a great point all the way around. All Right, you know what,
40:12
We're gonna go back to the chat room since we've been on a roll with
40:14
Anthony bean hunting. After all, this guy here is probably the unofficial fifth
40:19
hole share. So Shdor Sanders number one pick to The Orlando Guardian, it's
40:22
all that Sklar. All right, Well that scene. If he wants to,
40:28
we'll leave it at that. All right. So here's since this is
40:30
your first rodeo here, unless Jacob's got something else he wants to add to
40:34
this one, we do parting shots where everybody can say whatever they want as
40:37
long as it's you know, I don't want to say it's g rated,
40:40
but make sure it's not our or X rated. Okay, so said George,
40:45
let me have your parting shots. Well, my parting shot is very
40:51
local. Obviously, you guys have heard that they unveil the statue of number
40:54
twenty Barry Sanders outside pork Field last Saturday in a very nice ceremony. I
41:01
just, you know, it's a shame that these things take so long.
41:06
But I know that Sheila Ford Hamp, the owner of the team obviously the
41:12
daughter of our former owner William clay Ford and Martha Ford, has done a
41:16
really good job. So this was long overdue. Wayne Fons was invited back
41:22
from his home in Florida, Calvin Johnson, a lot of you know,
41:28
it was so good. It was just so good seeing guys like Kerman More
41:30
and Calvin Johnson and Kevin Glover and guys like that at the ceremony, and
41:35
then they did another recognition of the event, the statue if you will,
41:40
on Sunday prior to the game against Seattle. So hats off to Detroit.
41:45
This is more of a positive thing. It's too bad it takes so long.
41:49
I told a friend of mine, I said, Okay, they're celebrating
41:52
their ninetieth year, ninetieth year of the franchise, and this is the first
41:57
statue you'll be wrecked at something that's right. The picture is not right,
42:00
but at least they saved it from the number one guy of all time,
42:04
and that's number twenty, Barry Sanders. So again, congratulations to you,
42:07
Barry. You deserve it more than anybody. And Wayne fots great to see
42:12
you again. Thanks for coming back, coach, and any tripled like that
42:15
for shout out George, good stuff. There you go. Look at that?
42:19
All right, that's all right, Jacob Chris, we're gonna say money
42:22
for last. How's that all? But he's the main event. We know
42:25
this. Here's Jacob. Go ahead. I'm going to interrupt three three years
42:32
ago when we brought up Mitchell Tribisky earlier, but three years ago, everybody
42:38
was so all the Bears fans and see, Monny, when you see me
42:42
on Twitter, you're gonna see me absolutely obliterate Bears fans on the regular.
42:45
You will see it. I am ugly to them and they deserve it.
42:49
But I'll say this. The reason is that I will tell you that later.
42:52
But here's the thing. Three years ago, everybody was so happy Justin
42:58
Fields was him? Justin Fields? Was that he was that guy. He
43:02
was built different, he was he was gonna make Nabie look good. He
43:08
was all that stuff. He didn't need help, all that kind of thing.
43:14
So anyway, fast forward three years, let's see what did happen today.
43:19
The Bears lose their defensive coordinator through and is very very ugly rumor that's
43:24
possibly true based off the FBI. They brought their draft one of their draft
43:30
picks that was supposed to be a right tackle and wanted to turn them into
43:34
a left tackle that he's never played before, just because they need to fill
43:37
a body. They have. They have four new guys on the ir they've
43:43
got everything whatsoever. Now they have to go try to fill the DC spot
43:45
and they have Justin Fields, who finally admitted today that the coaching has every
43:51
bit of his problem, which it has been we've been saying it, except
43:53
he also changed his mind a minute later. Oh yeah, why did he
43:57
changed his mind? Because they'd be because they got rid of the backup Nathan
44:01
Peterman, who didn't need to be there anyway. But they got rid of
44:05
him so they can move beige and up. They gave him a message and
44:07
then he chickened out. But here's the thing about this, Bears fans,
44:14
everything I bring up is not just oh it was truebisky. Trubisky is not
44:17
a Hall of Famer solid quarterback, no solid quarterback that makes plays, that
44:22
can do it something. He's not a Hall of Famer, but he helped
44:24
win games in a system. That's what he was. It's what it is.
44:29
But it's still better what's going on right now, which is miserable in
44:34
Chicago. And this is the point I'm saying. Every time the Bears fans
44:37
always want prettier, the Bears end up losing. Every time the Bears are
44:43
starting to win, you want prettier and they end up losing. And now
44:45
it has come to a disaster, peer and under disaster in Chicago, and
44:52
this is karma on you. Every one of you fans, Oh in seventeen
44:55
is what you really deserve, which won't happen because they're gonna which won't happen
45:00
because they're going to change that quarterback up eventually. But you're going to deserve
45:05
You deserve O in seventeen because every time there was winning, starting in Chicago,
45:12
you have to complain in wine and gripe. It was Rex Grossman to
45:15
I need to bring you. You hated Kyle Ortman, so you wanted Rex.
45:17
Growth was pretty pretty arm. Then it was Kyle Orton again. You
45:22
wanted job. You wanted Jay Cutler, which cost us Bruce Arians. You
45:28
hated, hated, hated Mitchell Trubisky there because you wanted something else. He
45:31
threw a fit booting United Center. And then you get Justin Fields and then
45:36
things went to hell. Every time you want prettier and you want the rock
45:40
star, things lose. Just accept winning for what it is. These guys
45:47
are professionals. You are not. You are drunks that are fighting in the
45:52
crowd. Okay, strong words from mister Chicago here. Okay, with that
45:58
said, money, I don't know what to say about that, and I'm
46:00
not even dare to even comment on it. Even if I hand the last
46:04
word on that, I'll leave it alone. Since someone lyons guy at heart,
46:07
I guess you know, we've had a lot of anguish and now Jacob
46:10
was feeling it. I don't think they could get to Arlington Heights fast enough
46:14
anyway. Don't get him started there until another show. Otherwise we'll be into
46:19
the year twenty twenty four with him on that. Okay, money, go
46:21
ahead, I better equit well on ahead before I get it Christmas started again?
46:24
Go ahead? All right. So one of the things in life you
46:29
want to evolve, right, You want to constantly evolve. You don't want
46:31
to be stuck where you were twenty years ago. I watched the Jets with
46:37
Rex Ryan, and every after every game, Rex Ryan would say, we
46:40
got a ground and pound, We got a ground and pound. Steve Young
46:45
spent an offseason in training camp with every team in the AFC East, and
46:51
he was shocked that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick, a defensive
46:54
coach, an hour at the end of every practice, would work on his
46:59
two minutes. Trol Nick Saban realizes a defensive coach, listen the way the
47:04
rules of change in college we need to be a vertical passing team. And
47:08
look at what he's done. Since he's developed quarterbacks, he's developed wide receivers.
47:14
Steve Young said, Rex Ryan spends five minutes and a two minute drill,
47:17
and if they don't get the first down, the practice is over.
47:21
Rex Ryan was one of the worst teams coming from behind in the fourth quarter
47:25
because he only know knew one way to win ground and pound. There are
47:30
very few teams in the league other than Tennessee who rely on their running back
47:36
Arthur Smith, and the Atlanta Falcons are the worst two and oh team in
47:40
the history of the NFL. This guy wants to play the game like it's
47:45
nineteen fifties Armies football. All he does is want to run. He had
47:51
the whole off season, the whole off season to prepare for Week one opponent,
47:55
and what does he do. Desmond Riddard throws for one hundred and fifteen
48:00
yards. Patrick Mahomes throws for one hundred and fifteen yards in a quarter.
48:05
His two leading receivers, Drake London and Kyle Pitts, have a combined ten
48:10
catches on the year. Travis Kelsey has ten catches and a half. So
48:15
all you Atlanta Falcon fans who keep coming after me telling me Arthur Smith knows
48:20
what he's doing if they get down thirteen nothing. I saw it last year
48:25
with Mariota and Ritter. He has no clue what he's doing. He is
48:29
the worst offensive coach I've ever seen, and I've seen Rex Ryan. He
48:34
wants to ground in pound. He wants to run the ball fifty times a
48:37
game in a vertical passing league because he had success with it. Well,
48:44
dude, this is not nineteen seventy five. Watch what happens to the Atlanta
48:47
foul because they're in a crappy division, a crappy division. But watch what
48:52
happens to the game when they're down fourteen nothing, seventeen nothing, and Desmond
48:57
Ridder throws three picks and a half because he's not comfortable yet. You have
49:01
Kyle Pits and Drake London, two absolute studs, and they don't even get
49:07
the ball. Just run the wishbone, dude, Just run the wishbone.
49:10
Gosh, I haven't had heard the wishbone in ages. I really have it
49:15
back to the Oklahoma days. All right, Well, here's my parting shot.
49:17
I want to make sure I'm consistent with what I've been doing all week,
49:21
and since I have a University of South Florida College ring on my right
49:24
hand, now you know where I'm going with this one teen years trying to
49:34
find a location, and they're right where they are, and the stadium will
49:37
probably be a matter of who knows how many feet away from the old one
49:40
Tropic Cana Field, all right, took to sixteen years to determine. You're
49:45
not going to go far from the old from the Tropic Cana Field right where
49:50
you're nearby. The project's going to cost one point three billion. The total
49:53
development for the area's six point five billion, and that will be over twenty
50:00
years, my goodness. Okay, over twenty years. You know what,
50:05
folks, I don't mind admitting my age on the air. I'm sixty,
50:09
okay, and if we see that total development in twenty years, I will
50:15
be eighty. No, maybe I won't. I may not be anywhere.
50:17
I'll probably be. In fact, I know where I'll be. If I'm
50:20
not down here, I will be in a mausoleum or one are those things
50:27
up in Wisconsin at Wisconsin Memorial Park? Okay. Joining my buddy Tom Skybosh
50:31
and my white Candy Okay, up there when that happens, when the Jetsons
50:37
are reborn in Saint Petersburg. Okay, because that's what it looks like.
50:40
It all looks like. So let's talk about the hotels, Let's talk about
50:45
everything. Let's talk about the stores, Let's talk about everything you got around
50:49
there that Detroit hasn't gotten yet because of all these developmental projects that were all
50:53
part of the big picture but never has materialized. But in the old words
50:58
of Timmy Losorta, because God delays may not mean that God denies. While
51:04
for the cities of Detroit and Saint Peter's very better hop play, the Tommy
51:07
Losorda is right, because God delays, because God denies, because I don't
51:12
know if I'll be allowed to see it. But guess what for the Tampa
51:15
Bay Rays fans back where we started, just a few hundred feet away.
51:20
Me personally, I think the stadium should have been built in Tampa and the
51:23
first way Hillsboro. But the Tampa Bay area collectively is a great sports town.
51:29
They really really are. The Buccaneers cell out well whether they win or
51:32
they lose, and the Tampa Bay Lightning are phenomenal. They could support an
51:37
NBA team if they wanted to, but Orlando has it, and I do
51:39
believe that if the Rays get a suitable facility, and Stuart Sternberg to me
51:45
is like Albert Einstein, that they'll be fine. But I still find it
51:50
hard to believe at six point five billion dollars for this historic project over twenty
51:55
years and total development. I need to see it, I really do,
52:00
because so many of these other areas have not provided on those promises, and
52:04
I hope Saint Petersburg does because apparently Home Sweet Home, because they weren't going
52:08
across the Howard Franklin Bridge to Hillsboro County, and we all know how beautiful
52:13
Clearwater is. They're not taking anybody over there because the beaches are too beautiful.
52:17
Put the ball park there and Clearwater Beach, and Clearwater is one of
52:21
my favorite towns. There, So great first act money. It really has
52:24

52:27

52:30

55:05
Muhammad Ali. I can't say enough great things about that guy. All right,
55:07
go ahead, Jacob. Well, since this was the time I did
55:12
I didn't say everything on one of the show's confidential, I'll say everything.
55:15
I am this night Sunday mornings, I'm on something called The Professor of the
55:20
Pupils on the Softford. The Tribute Monday is called is one of the shows.
55:23

55:28

55:34
Confidential Thursday nights The Pundits Pundit Monty. That is my show. That is
55:39
my thing, The Pundits Pundit. It is very much a It is very
55:44
much it's not as produced produced or video, but it's very much like a
55:47
higher end version of Outside the Lines. It is very we We don't do
55:52
meet head talk. We talked serious things about the future future of the league
55:57
and where we go and to George and Scott are both on and they all
56:00
love it. So Dan Campbell will never be on your show. Then we
56:04
see, so, no, he's already been too made. Kneecaps. You
56:06
have to make short people, but so funny. But the but no,
56:13
it was like that is the whole point. I mean to find one of
56:15
my shows sometime. You'll love it. And these guys are awesome on it,
56:19
you know. So we have this and then I'm on the Gauntlet on
56:22
Sideline Sports when they need me, so I'm kind of a backup. I
56:24
also have a couple of movies I've been in that must show my clips small
56:29
little parts, and I'm also on I'm also on Patreon, I'm working on
56:34
I'm also on also and sub stack on Ricochet. I do some writing.
56:38
I'm on the inscriber and I also have written sometimes once in a while on
56:42
South Border Tribute, So I keep myself going. I can hardly tell,
56:46
but now we're glad, Jacob, You're all big part of what we do
56:49
here. For sure. I enjoy the fact that everyone once in a while
56:52
they needy on inside to pis and hungry such as baseball talk. You don't
56:54
think choice about coming on you become. Since you've come, my unger are
56:59
when you've really become a lot more well rounded as a broadcaster. You really
57:02
have. I'm not just saying that you were, that you've come a long
57:06
way. I'm not saying you're great to begin with, but anytime you can
57:08
go out there and become a lot more well rounded with experienced individuals trying to
57:12
give your pointers every so often. He's the most coachable person I've ever seen.
57:15
And I'd like to give you a hard time because you can handle and
57:19
take it anyway. So yeah, and we have fun and George, I
57:22
always consider you and George the mentors. I absolutely do, and I appreciate
57:25
it. You know, George and I are simply inseparable anyways, and it
57:29
won't be long before money and I are inseparable, right money. So if
57:31
that gets your information out there again, mister MP, let's money press.
57:37
Let's make a deal and get some in front. All. That's money all.
57:39
Let's Every Sunday at eleven am, I have guests all across the country.
57:44
We do the show at eleven o'clock Eastern Time, and then on Monday
57:47
we do a recap at seven pm. I have brad wardon, who covers
57:52
the Browns. I have a Marion who covers the Vikings, and she's on.
57:57
She has her own show in New Mexico and radio station in New Mexico
58:00
Ago. She does a lot of stuff with Cumulus Radio. I've written about
58:02
seven hundred articles in the last couple of years. Every Monday and Wednesday,
58:08
I do Top five things we learned about college football, and then I'll have
58:13
you know, an NFL article, you know, power ranking stuff like that.
58:16
This week I did the preview of the Oregon Ducks versus Colorado. You
58:21
could check it out. I think Scott's gonna put that on the website there.
58:25
I think I think Colorado's in a world are hurt. They're not gonna
58:30
be able to defend the crossing routes. Oregon Speed's gonna kill them. And
58:34
I know Jacob disagrees with me, but it's gonna be a double digit win.
58:37
I'm not putting anything on the website. I'm not smart enough. Candy's
58:40
doing it. Don't ever tell me too short about technology. I had to
58:45
fight through a I had to fight through a screen share today already presentation of
58:51
the Coral Springs Chamber, and I'll tell you that was the most ugly presentation.
58:54
But in the end result they got to see the website. That's all
58:58
that mattered to me. So behalf of George, Jacob and Monty his first
59:02
