0:06
championships as head coach of the Patriots, 2 more as

defensive coordinator of the Giants.
0:11
The most accomplished coach of his generation by far apparently
0:16
is not enough to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
0:20
How in the world did the Hall of Fame selection committee get it
0:23
so wrong? And what was behind the scenes
0:26
hijinks that led to this obvious screw job?
0:31
The trade deadline is fast approaching in the NBA and NH.
0:34
LS quote, UN quote. Soft deadline hits next week as
0:37
well as the Yanis sweepstakes is officially on as the Knicks and

Pinarin, will not play again until after the Olympic roster
0:56
freeze if they can't move them before then.

league? We're going to be looking at
1:43
Aaron Judge and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
1:46
Jordan said. I played 82 games.

Saquon Parker, this Listening to Jabba and the
2:57

3:05
I'm not scaring anybody tonight. I might scare myself because
3:09
I've been drowsing off. Not I just I've been feeling a
3:14
little stressed out so I popped a little pill, I'm relaxing and
3:20
I might be dozing off a little bit.
3:21
There's a lot to get into tonight.
3:23

4:23
All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
4:26
for all our show is shows are go to our website at
4:30
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. I want to say something.
4:34
So I've been stressed out all day.
4:37
There's a lot going on. I'm I'm working on a website,
4:41
I'm working on some other business deals.
4:43
So everything possible has gone wrong for me today.
4:48
I I'm not going to mention why and what, but everything.
4:51
So I was flabbergasted all day. I went to see my girlfriend, I
4:55
stopped at her apartment and she said, take one of these, these
4:59
will calm you down. And since then I've been trying
5:02
to keep my eyes open and not drowsing off So I I've I've been
5:09
trying to eat some candy as everybody sees on the side over
5:11
here. You see that Hershey's kisses as
5:14
I eat my Hershey's bar. It'll give me some sugar, a
5:17
little sugar rush. And trust me, ladies and
5:20
gentlemen, when I'm on a sugar rush, I could go all over the
5:24
place, but you'll definitely enjoy the show.
5:26
But I, I will say this and I, I, I say this because all these
5:32
years doing this show and I've met so many people, I've gone to
5:36
so many different events, I met so many athletes, so many
5:41
different personalities in the music industry.
5:44
The one thing I could say about this industry that you can't
5:47
change is you have to be ready no matter what, no matter what.
5:52
It doesn't matter if you're tired, you're sick.
5:54
If you're invited to an event, you have to show up and you got
5:57
to do the best that you possibly can.
5:58
It doesn't matter how sick you are or how, how you feel.
6:01
You got to go out there and give your best product.
6:04
And that's what I do on this show.
6:05
It's, it's crazy because sometimes I feel like a
6:08
windshield wiper and I, you know, my head's bouncing back
6:12
and forth and, and no matter what, I feel like I'm never
6:16
ending water hitting that windshield.
6:18
So it, it's, it's just to me an analogy, but I, I feel like the
6:23
world is so very different now, not just in sports, but the
6:27
world as a whole. And I wonder sometimes how I get
6:33
through day by day and figure out, well, I'm going to get into
6:37
sports conversation. I'm going to try to take people
6:39
away from their crazy day, their work day, everything, keep away
6:43
from their wives or their kids. And, and one thing I always want
6:48
to do and I always prepare for, no matter how tired or how sick
6:51
I had neck surgery. I had hip surgery and the doctor
6:56
told me when I had my neck surgery that I could not speak
6:59
into a mic for two weeks. The day after I had my neck
7:03
surgery I was on the mic doing a show Speedy can vouch for.
7:06
Me, yeah. The only day I think you ever
7:08
missed a show is when you were actually in the hospital.
7:10
That's right. Yeah.
7:11
I don't miss shows. I don't run away no matter how
7:15
sick I am. Doctors telling me I can't, I
7:17
can be spitting blood. I'm going to come on the show
7:20
and I'm going to entertain people.
7:21
That's why when everybody asks me, well, we can have a show
7:24
tonight. You can have a show.
7:25
I can't wait for the show tonight.
7:26
And and I'll say, are you sick? And I've been sick.
7:29
I've been deathly sick with a fever.
7:31
And I did a show and I went four hours on that show.
7:35
So I don't care what anybody says, If you have love and you
7:38
have passion for what you do, you're going to go out there, no
7:41
matter how sick or how tired or how roughed up you are
7:44
throughout your day to give the best product you probably can or
7:47
possibly can. So anyways, Speedy, how are you
7:50
man? I'm doing all right, Evan.
7:52
What are you looking at? Are you looking at your lap?
7:54
What? What the heck are you doing
7:56
every time looking down? No, I'm I'm trying to post up
7:58
our our Instagram feed on our Java in the mouth Instagram with
8:01
our is it up with yes, with our fun new, with our great new
8:04
graphic that you created it for our New York brand now, which is
8:07
very cool. If you haven't checked out that
8:08
logo yet, definitely check it out.
8:10
It's very cool. But I want to give a shout out.
8:12
He couldn't do a show today to Josh.
8:13
Something happened with his kid. He was crying.
8:15
So hopefully he's OK as well. Yeah, I heard.
8:18
He reached out to me and said he couldn't make it tonight because
8:21
of something with his family. I didn't know it was his son.
8:23
So yeah, Caleb, he called me the kid.
8:25
His kid was crying on the phone, so I was.
8:27
Hopefully Caleb and Carter, OK, maybe they're sick.
8:31
There's a lot of different diseases going around and I
8:35
think stomach virus is going on right now here in Long Island.
8:38
It's been very, very bad. People have been getting sick.
8:40
So hopefully Caleb or Uncle Errol over here is selling Caleb
8:45
and Carter to get better, get well and, you know, drink a lot
8:50
of water, which I do every single day now.
8:54
Maybe, maybe, maybe his kids will need my.
8:56
Crystal light. My skin is not stretching.
8:59
I don't look like I'm well, what?
9:00
What am I-40? I almost said I was 73.
9:05
I see scoops over here. He's sitting over here shaking
9:08
his head. But you know, that's that's how
9:11
torn I am when it comes to and I've never taken this pill
9:14
before. So I I don't even know what it
9:16
is. Brittany says it's it's like for
9:17
stress. So I was like, is it going to
9:20
make me drowsy? Dr. doesn't say it's I said
9:22
whatever, whatever could take me, you know, take a little
9:25
pinch of my stress stress out. I will.
9:28
I'll take the the pill and I did and I've been drowsing off ever
9:33
since. But trust me, I'm here to
9:36
entertain people for the rest of the night.
9:38
At 8:45, we'll be talking to Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker
9:42
our friend FOIA Aloo again, and he will be joining us.
9:48
He has always been so generous to come on the show after the
9:53
season and work with us and talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars.
9:56
This guy was 10th in the league in tackles.
10:00
He's one of the best linebackers in the NFL and this is going to
10:04
be a treat for all the fans that's never listened to him
10:06
interview. He's an interesting personality.
10:09
He's very funny when he wants to be and he can give you the
10:13
insurance and the outs when it comes to the XS and OS, when it
10:15
comes to football and he is that good.
10:18
So and he actually reached us. Reach out to us.
10:22
What was it a week ago? Yeah, last week he was
10:24
travelling a lot because after the season he was spending some
10:27
time with his family. Obviously the Jacksonville
10:29
Jaguars got knocked out of the playoffs against who?
10:32
The Buffalo Bills. So we'll get into that game.
10:34
He was all over the place in that game.
10:37
So. And obviously Jacksonville looks
10:40
like they're an up and coming team.
10:42
They have some good nice young players.
10:44
It looks like Trevor Lawrence looks like he's a prototypical
10:49
quarterback now. He can actually make throws.
10:51
So hopefully he continues to grow under Cohen and maybe this
10:56
team is an every year type of team that could be fighting for
11:01
a Super Bowl. So I'm very interested to hear
11:03
what Foyer has to say about his new coach, Travis Hunter, AKA
11:07
the Gremlin, because I'm sure he has his own thoughts to him.
11:12
It's a captain he has to mentor Travis Hunter.
11:14
Oh, nice. Anyways, ESPN Seth Wickersham
11:18
reports Wednesday to the absolute shock of everyone that
11:24
Bill Belichick did not get enough votes to get into the Pro
11:28
Football Hall of Fame as a first ballot.
11:33
Hall of Fame voters had a pick, well, had to pick up to three
11:39
names, Belichick, Robert Kraft, Ken Anderson and Rodger Craig
11:46
and Elsie Greenwood on their ballots.
11:50
Yes, still, Belichick didn't make it.
11:54
The athletic Mike Sando and the Hall of Fame voter himself is a
11:59
Hall of Famer himself, says that recent rules change allowing
12:04
coaches to be eligible one year after their retirement instead
12:08
of the usual five years might have impacted some old school
12:13
voters. In addition to the spy gate and
12:17
Deflategate cheating scandals, many Patriot players, including
12:21
Julian Edelman, both Mccourty brothers, Logan Ryan, Matt
12:26
Castle tweeted their disbelief about Belichick not getting in
12:31
on how he should have made the Hall of Fame on a first ballot.
12:35
And they're ashamed of themselves.
12:37
Well, they should be ashamed of themselves.
12:39
There is also a theory that the Hall of Fame and former GM of
12:44
the 90s Bills and and Peyton Manning era cults, Bill Polian,
12:50
was telling other voters not to vote for Belichick as a
12:54
punishment for cheating. But the Hall of Fame confirmed
12:57
today that Polian did vote for Belichick.
13:00
Yeah, sure. Belichick was part of the 2000s
13:05
and 2000 tens all decade teams and was one of nine coaches on
13:12
the NFL 100th Anniversary team. All nine other coaches were
13:18
first ballot. Hall of Fame is Belichick is 1/3
13:21
all third all time with three O 2 career wins and first all time
13:26
with 31 playoff wins and six Super Bowl championships.
13:34
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I wrote a story a couple of days
13:37
ago and I spoke about the whole, my whole thought about Bill
13:41
Belichick. I'm not a Bill Belichick fan.
13:43
I'm not Everybody knows I'm a Jet fan and what he did to The
13:48
Jets in 24 hours jumping ship when it was given to him.
13:53
He was very close with Leon has Leon has sold his rights to
13:56
Woody Johnson. He didn't want to work for Woody
13:58
Johnson and Woody had his own opinion about Bill Belichick
14:02
before he took the job. So Bill Belichick had no
14:05
interest in staying there when Bill Parcell stopped stepped
14:08
down. But here's the facts, ladies and
14:12
gentlemen. As much as I can't stand Bill
14:15
Belichick and maybe if Bill Belichick stayed with the New
14:19
York Jets, The Jets would be the six time NFL champion and maybe
14:24
be one of the more successful teams of the last 2020 years and
14:29
decade. My fact here, the fact that the
14:34
NFL doesn't appreciate a guy this good, this talented and
14:38
actually drafted Tom Brady. He drafted Tom Brady in the
14:44
sixth round. He took a chance on Tom Brady.
14:48
If you look at the development of players that he developed
14:51
over the years, think about it, Rob Gronkowski, Hall of Famer,
14:55
Vince Wilfork should be Hall of Famer.
14:58
Julian Edelman is one of the greatest playoff players we've
15:01
ever seen, Wes Welker, We could go on and on and on.
15:07
And now look, the one season that Tom Brady was not the
15:10
starting quarterback because he tore his ACL and he was out for
15:13
the season. Matt Castle was 11 game winner,
15:19
11 game winner and earned himself a contract with Kansas
15:23
City after that. Bill Belichick is the mastermind
15:29
of the secondary. If you remember those giant
15:31
teams in the 80s and the early 90s, who do you think was the
15:36
guy that kind of transformed secondaries to really
15:40
prototypically stop top end offensive teams?
15:44
It was Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick was the reason
15:48
why the Giants won their second championship, which is was early
15:52
in the early 90s. Everything Bill Belichick has
15:56
touched when it came to the NFL besides the Browns, because
16:00
everybody that touches the Browns don't do well.
16:02
But everything besides the Browns, Bill Belichick has been
16:06
successful. Everything.
16:09
Now everybody's gone back and forth with his drafts over the
16:12
last five years with the Patriots.
16:14
That's fine. Christian Gonzalez was his last
16:17
draft pick. He's been pretty damn good.
16:21
This is a man that comes from a football family.
16:25
His father coached college, his father coached North Carolina.
16:30
His father wrote a book about drafting and obviously
16:34
developing players. This man is not just a teacher,
16:39
not just a personality, not a guy that you just want to hate.
16:44
This man has an understanding of the game of football more than I
16:49
can say about any coach I've ever seen in my time of watching
16:54
football. And the fact that the NFL
16:58
committee would not give this guy the generosity to be a first
17:04
ballot Hall of Fame is shameful. Absolutely shameful.
17:07
I don't want to hear from the Patriot players.
17:09
I want to hear it from the players that played against Bill
17:12
Belichick. I want to hear from Ben
17:15
Roethlisberger, who said something, Peyton Manning who
17:20
said something, Eli Manning who said something.
17:25
These are the guys that Bill Belichick had to play against
17:28
either in championships or in regular season games and
17:33
playoffs. His success didn't just come
17:38
from the Patriots organization or Robert Kraft.
17:42
If Robert Kraft didn't hire Bill Belichick, his success of this
17:48
franchise probably wouldn't have even come close to where it's
17:52
become as an elite team in all of professional sports.
17:56
When you think of the New England Patriots now in the last
18:00
30 years, you can compare them to teams like the Lakers, like
18:06
the Yankees, organizations that are very well respected,
18:11
organizations that are built around winning.
18:15
Look, the New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl this year.
18:19
Super Bowl 60 is hosted in San Francisco.
18:24
It's not Bill Belichick's team, but Mike Rabel.
18:27
Who coached Mike Rabel. Bill Belichick?
18:30
Who drafted Mike Rabel? Bill Belichick.
18:35
Think about this, if you look at success and success is not easy
18:44
in the NFL. When you think of a coach with
18:47
20 years under his belt as a as a head coach of one team, there
18:53
are only two coaches that just stepped down, well got fired,
18:59
Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh, that have coached their teams as
19:07
long or almost as long as Bill Belichick in the last century.
19:12
Think about that. Not Bill Parcells, not Tom
19:17
Coughlin, not any of those great coaches I mentioned, Giant
19:23
coaches, but a lot of great ones.
19:27
Most of these guys, Jimmie Johnson, never coached the
19:32
Cowboys. More than less, actually less
19:35
than 10 years. When you have that kind of
19:39
success, division championships, AFC championships, Super Bowl
19:46
championships, and you look, yeah, you're going to point your
19:50
fingers to the players. Tom Brady is, you could argue,
19:52
the greatest quarterback to ever play this game.
19:56
He probably is. You could argue that.
20:00
Every great quarterback needs a great coach.
20:03
Joe Montana, who was his coach, Speedy.
20:06
Bill Walls. Ben Roethlisberger, who was his
20:09
coach. Bill Cower, then Mike Tomlin.
20:12
Eli Manning, who was his coach, Coughlin, Peyton Manning, who
20:16
was his coach, Tony Dungy. Think about it, when you think
20:22
of success of an organization, you need that guy.
20:25
You need the guy that is going to speak up when the media is
20:28
going to attack, which he didn't.
20:31
And you're also going to want to hear the guy's mouth, even if it
20:35
comes out the wrong way. I don't care when I when I when
20:41
I read all these different stories and all these different
20:43
writers coming out and saying that people are shocked.
20:46
I'm not shocked. A lot of things have happened
20:49
over the last couple of years that has hurt Bill Belichick 1.
20:56
He decided to part ways after he got let go by the Patriots to go
21:02
to college football. Now he he had an opportunity
21:05
maybe to get that Atlanta job and it wasn't his fault.
21:08
Atlanta decided to go another way with Raheem Morris who's now
21:10
looking for another job. Bill Belichick then decided to
21:16
go and coach college football, but while he was doing that,
21:21
Bill Belichick is dating a 24 year old beautiful woman.
21:25
Some guys would look up to Bill Belichick because he's doing
21:27
that. But NFL and the way the NFL
21:29
works, they're probably, you know, guys like Bill Polian or
21:36
some of these committee guys that are probably in their 60s
21:38
or 70s and they've been with their wives for like 40-50
21:42
years. They don't like that.
21:46
And I'm telling you, I know, obviously.
21:48
Did Bill Belichick cheat Spygate?
21:51
Yes. Did the NFL confiscate,
21:54
confiscate all the video after that so nobody can see the
21:58
video? Yes.
21:59
Was Bill Belichick behind it? Yes.
22:02
Deflategate. I don't think it was a gate of
22:04
anything, but nevertheless, Bill Belichick was the coach.
22:09
He was a part of it. So, of course, with John
22:12
Harbaugh complaining about all the different things that he was
22:15
complaining about, because Bill Belichick found ways to run his
22:19
defense in his offense, which was legal at the time, it didn't
22:24
say it in the rule book that he couldn't do it.
22:27
It pissed off John Harbaugh. And then John Harbaugh reached
22:30
out to Indianapolis and obviously said what he felt,
22:36
said what he said about the deflate, the deflated balls and
22:40
that the Indianapolis should investigate it.
22:42
And they did. And I remember that was, I
22:43
think, if I'm not mistaken, Andrew Lux last year.
22:46
That was his second to last year and I think that was that was
22:49
like a 44 to 7 blowout. Like, OK, even if you're play
22:52
football, it's really good about it, that much of that game.
22:57
The fact here is you can't hate somebody because he wins.
23:03
He can't as a jet fan, all you jet fans out there that are
23:07
listening to my take care, of course you're going to hate him.
23:10
He decided to not take the jet stop to to go to the Patriots
23:15
and look, did he make the wrong decision?
23:17
The answer would be no. He made the right decision.
23:21
He went to an organization he felt he had a better chance to
23:26
succeed in. That does does that mean that
23:30
the the thought that Bill Belichick and and what he did
23:34
with to The Jets organization was right?
23:36
No. Does that mean that the Rams and
23:40
the Rams should have after the fact that he cheated when I was
23:44
one of the greatest teams, one of the greatest offensive teams
23:46
we've ever seen. Kurt Warner, Tori Holt, those
23:51
type of players. I mean, they had one of the best
23:53
running games, one of the best offensive lines.
23:55
They had three offensive lineman that are inducted into the Hall
23:58
of Fame. The the practice.
24:00
They had a whole team could be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
24:02
Hall of Fame. That's how good they were.
24:05
They lost against a new New England Patriot team that was
24:08
very young, a young Tom Brady. Did they cheat?
24:12
Yeah. You only cheat if you get
24:17
caught, and he got caught. They lost the first round draft
24:24
pick. They had to spend some money.
24:25
Not a lot of money, but enough. And Bill Belichick obviously was
24:30
behind it. If anything, you would look at
24:34
him as a genius because he changed the game.
24:39
The dual tight ends, Who do you think first did that?
24:42
Everybody's going to give O'Brien all the credit for that.
24:46
But who hired O'Brien? Bill Belichick, Think about it.
24:53
A transitional game every decade, every 10 years, Bill
24:58
Belichick found ways to win. He never had to wait more than
25:05
what I think five years to play in a in a Super Bowl.
25:08
The guy was always fighting to play in the Super Bowl.
25:12
How many AFC games? AFC Championships?
25:16
He was in eight in a row. The only guy I can remember that
25:20
was in 8 championship games is LeBron James.
25:25
Is LeBron James a first ballot Hall of Famer right now in the
25:28
NBA? If he retired tomorrow, the
25:30
answer would be yes. But you know what?
25:35
Nobody wants to give it committee.
25:36
You don't want to give him any credit.
25:37
You know why? Because he doesn't play on the
25:39
football field. Oh, he's just calling the plays.
25:43
I believe the hardest thing and the hardest sport to coach is
25:48
football. You look at all the sports,
25:52
hockey, basketball, baseball, there's just so many signs
25:58
you're going to put up in baseball.
26:00
There's just so many calls. You're going to put your hands
26:03
up in basketball and hockey, football, there could be 7080
26:09
plays in a game and you got to teach these guys.
26:15
You got to get them into shape the offseason, OTAs coached them
26:21
up. And with all that, Tom Brady was
26:27
a first ballot Hall of Fame with all his success and he was very
26:31
successful. Tom Brady won seven Super Bowls,
26:34
one with Tampa. People would argue he's the
26:37
greatest quarterback of all time because of his his success in
26:41
the playoffs and his championships.
26:45
Who was the coach of the six out of those seven games?
26:50
Bill Belichick not only is the greatest coach in football
26:55
history, he could go down is the greatest coach in sports
27:01
history. Yeah, you heard it.
27:03
The fact that I watched and I I said it on in like Flynn last.
27:06
Week when I was picking the coach that, according to that
27:08
Bleacher Report, like college football historian.
27:11
They had him at 2121 Bill Belichick.
27:18
I would take Bill Belichick over Phil Jackson to win 6 Super
27:25
Bowls. One coach has never done that
27:27
before. 1 coach has never even Vince Lombardi, who won five
27:32
championships. They weren't Super Bowl 5
27:34
championships, never won as much as Bill Belichick.
27:40
Vince Lombardi, people argue, is the greatest coach in
27:44
professional sports history. In that list on Bleacher Report,
27:48
he was ranked second under John Wooden, who's the greatest
27:54
college coach in basketball history.
27:58
Think about it and you're going to not even put this guy in the
28:01
top ten. It's shameful.
28:04
And the NFL should, absolutely. I don't know what the NFL should
28:10
do on this. I honestly have no idea how to
28:12
explain this. It doesn't make sense.
28:16
None of it does. It doesn't.
28:19
You don't like somebody. Well, oh, the writers don't like
28:21
them. Oh, the committee don't like
28:22
them. So we're going to have them sit
28:24
for a year and then we'll put them in.
28:26
What does that do? That just pisses them off.
28:28
Look what they did to Terrell Owens.
28:33
Terrell Owens to me is just a little bit under Jerry Rice.
28:39
Some people say Jerry Rice is the greatest football player to
28:43
ever tie up his cleats. A lot of people think that he's
28:48
better than any quarterback that played in this league.
28:53
And if you lick, if you look at when you're trying to compare
28:58
these two guys, what are their numbers?
29:01
What what is different about these guys numbers?
29:04
It's not by much. Terrell Owens obviously is a
29:09
little bit under Jerry Rice, but absolutely a Hall of Famer.
29:16
And that's that's the problem right now.
29:18
How do you vote these guys in? What do you look for Is it wins
29:23
championships? Everybody says if you don't win
29:25
a championship, you're not a first ballot Hall of Famer.
29:28
OK, let me ask you guys a question, and this is a good
29:34
question. Drew Brees is up to be in the
29:38
Hall of Fame this year, right? What?
29:43
He's won how many championships? He's won one.
29:48
Is he a first ballot Hall of Famer over Bill Belichick?
29:52
Not a chance in hell. And I love you, Drew.
29:56
Not a chance in hell. I'm sorry.
30:01
I'm not going to sit here and beat around the Bush Drew Brees,
30:05
as good as he was, Drew Brees would not be Drew Brees if he
30:08
didn't go to New Orleans and be coached by Sean Payton, where he
30:12
built his offense around Drew Brees.
30:17
And Sean Payne's an offensive coordinator.
30:21
Let's ask everybody, what is Bill Belichick?
30:25
He is a defensive coordinator who turn who turn Tom Brady into
30:30
the greatest quarterback to ever play this game.
30:34
Think about it, a defensive coordinator, we hear it all the
30:38
time. Fish talks about it all the
30:39
time, that defensive coordinators are probably the
30:44
defensive coordinators are the easiest play callers.
30:47
It's easy. It's the offense that's hard to
30:50
coach. It's the offense to try to
30:52
figure out the the under the lingo on the speaking and and
30:57
getting these guys in the right position.
31:01
Bill Belichick was the coach of all these successful teams.
31:05
Tom Brady's game changing games was because of Bill Belichick
31:10
play calling. How about this, some of the
31:13
greatest football seasons we've ever seen a quarterback have.
31:16
And I remember the Randy Moores year with Tom Brady breaking
31:20
records, who was the head coach of that team?
31:24
It was Bill Belichick. Think about it.
31:28
And you're not going to put this man as a first ballot Hall of
31:32
Fame Famer and and to be compared to some of the greats.
31:36
Bill Parcells, was he a first ballot Hall of Famer?
31:41
Let me ask you guys a question, who do you think was a better
31:45
coach, Bill Belichick or Bill Parcells?
31:47
How about this, the 2 championships that Bill Parcells
31:51
won? Was it Bill Parcells that won
31:54
those championships and the calling the play calling from
31:57
Bill Parcells? Or was it Bill Belichick's
31:59
defense that won those championships?
32:01
That's where the Bills won. It was Bill Belichick, Giant
32:06
fans. You're not going to be.
32:07
This is not something to beat around a Bush about.
32:12
We understand what it takes to win.
32:14
I'm a Jet fan and I never see wins.
32:17
I see losses, I see losers. I see quarterback after
32:22
quarterback, coach after coach, GM after GM.
32:25
And you Patriot fans and all you fans out there that couldn't
32:28
stand the Evil Empire, we call the Patriots win year in, year
32:34
out. That guy who we couldn't stand
32:36
Belly, I used to call him because he used to give me a
32:40
stomach ache every time I watched him, wearing his his
32:44
little hoodie, his short sleeves, walking up and up and
32:49
down the sidelines in the cold, in the snow, win after win,
32:56
championship after championship, laughing after laughter.
33:03
And what I mean by laughing is the only time you've seen this
33:06
guy smile is when he wins the championship.
33:08
And if he can even peak a smile when he does that, it's pretty
33:11
amazing. The man stood for championships.
33:17
The man store stood for the game of football.
33:20
And this guy doesn't go in as a first ballot Hall of Famer.
33:23
It doesn't make sense. Devin Mccourty is going to be a
33:28
Hall of Famer, a safety from Rutgers.
33:36
There are not many guys that come from Rutgers football that
33:39
become an elite player at that position and who developed that
33:45
kid? Bill Belichick It's, it's
33:51
problematic when you think about when I'm, I'm bringing up all
33:54
these different things and I'm trying to slice it because it's
33:58
like a piece of bread and, and a loaf of bread.
34:01
You know, if, if you're a hungry guy, you could probably go
34:03
through a half a loaf of bread with three sandwiches.
34:06
All right, a pie is 8 slices, right?
34:13
Bill Belichick, think about this.
34:16
If you think about a pie and there's 8 slices, He coached
34:19
this team four years or I'm sorry, 44 pizza pies, more than
34:27
probably half the coaches in the NFL and in NFL history think
34:33
about that. I would say 3.
34:35
I'll take away 433 more pizza pies than most coaches in the
34:40
NFL. I just don't get it.
34:45
I don't understand the reasoning behind it.
34:47
A lot of people want to put the point their fingers at Bill
34:50
Pullian or this guy or that guy or this girl or that girl.
34:55
I don't think it's anybody but the committee as a whole that
34:58
didn't like this man, doesn't respect this man with his
35:02
success and have reasons behind of hate because of his
35:06
relationships over the years with Roger Goodell.
35:10
Robert Kraft throwing him under the bus after the fact that he
35:14
decided to part ways with him. And Robert Kraft probably is
35:20
bitter that he chose Bill Parcells.
35:23
I mean, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Bill Belichick over Tom Brady.
35:26
Tom Brady goes over there to the Buccaneers and in his first
35:29
years wins the Super Bowl. And ever since Tom Brady left,
35:32
he doesn't win a Super Bowl or even appear back in the Super
35:35
Bowl. I don't care.
35:40
There's nothing to nothing in this story that would make
35:44
anybody smile, even if you hate Bill Belichick.
35:46
And there are a lot of Jet fans on social media that have come
35:50
out and said this doesn't make any sense, and I'm one of them.
35:54
It doesn't. There's nothing that the NFL
35:58
could try to sell me now today to tell me that Bill Belichick
36:02
isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer.
36:03
Because if I did and I was with that committee, I'd smack them
36:06
all in the face. I'd wake him up.
36:08
I'd dump water on him, but I get some like what are they like
36:12
vampires or something? Maybe I get some prayed water so
36:16
if I throw it out them they'll melt or something.
36:20
It it's just, it's it's horrible.
36:23
It's horrible how the NFL does not respect the guys that have
36:29
transitioned their game, have brought their game to the higher
36:32
levels. We've never seen this.
36:34
And I don't think we'll ever see a coach this successful ever in
36:38
the NFL. Ever.
36:43
These accomplishments will never be broken.
36:46
Ever. Just like though, we'll never
36:48
see a Tom Brady, we'll never see a Michael Jordan, We'll never
36:52
see a Wayne Gretzky, We'll never see a Muhammad Ali.
36:57
We'll never see a Serena Williams.
37:03
We'll never see a Tiger Woods. These guys transition their
37:10
sports. Bill Belichick transition the
37:15
coaching game. Not just in the NFL.
37:18
In all of sports. Very well said.
37:22
And he also did it as AGM too, and that's what a lot of people
37:25
are forgetting. And other coaches have tried to
37:27
duplicate that. Chip Kelly, Bill O'Brien, like
37:29
you mentioned, he tried to do that with the Texans and it
37:32
badly failed. And for whatever reasons that
37:35
you want to like dupe Bill Belichick out of being a first
37:38
ballot Hall of Famer makes no sense.
37:39
And it wouldn't surprise me if Robert Kraft maybe like he did
37:43
when he was putting in denial interviews for the Falcons, all
37:48
his other teams to get him a head coaching job.
37:50
Who says he does not connect with those voters?
37:52
Oh, I want to get him first over Bill Belichick to make a point.
37:55
So who said Robert Kraft couldn't be behind that either?
37:57
But that's a whole other conspiracy theory.
37:59
I'm not going to go down as much.
38:00
I want to mention those two arguments that people want to
38:02
make against Belichick, one of which is obviously his
38:04
relationship. Now, that's not going to impact
38:07
anything when the college football and Pro Football Hall
38:09
of Fame are not connected. It's not like basketball where
38:12
NBA and college coaches are all in there and college players,
38:15
NBA players are all in at the same time.
38:16
This is your two separate Hall of Fame.
38:17
So if you want to hold it against him that he's dating a
38:20
24 year old, it is a weird relationship, I understand.
38:23
But you want to hold that against him.
38:24
It doesn't work for the NFL sake as much.
38:27
And then the other argument is, oh, when Tom Brady left to go to
38:31
Tampa, he won a championship. OK, Bill Belichick coached Cam
38:35
Newton when he was washed and Mack Jones.
38:37
How many coaches are going to win Super Bowls with that?
38:40
Good luck with that. Tom Brady had Bruce Arians, who
38:42
was a top 10 coach in the NFL at the time, and good offensive
38:45
skill players around him in Tampa.
38:46
Two time coach of the year. Yes, I yeah, again, maybe even
38:50
fringe top five coach at that time, you could say top ten, top
38:52
five, whatever. He was a quality coach, one of
38:54
the best offensive coaches in the NFL at that time and had
38:58
Mike Evans say Chris Godwin. He had good tight ends.
39:00
He had a good offensive line and you're going to say, oh, Tom
39:04
Brady was the only reason that they won a championship?
39:06
No, it's not the case. Also, think about it.
39:08
Think about how many offensive lineman came and gone and we're
39:11
successful with the Bill Belichick offense and then they
39:15
leave and absolute failures. Oh yeah.
39:17
So many of them. Think about it, there are so
39:20
many players that have played in this offense and play in this
39:22
defense and then they left. They got their big contracts
39:25
gone elsewhere and failed. Never were as successful then
39:30
they were when they were, they were with the Patriots.
39:33
Think, think about that. That's because of Bill
39:35
Belichick's game planning. And we've had guys on the show
39:38
saying that Bill Belichick is one of the coolest, one of the
39:41
funniest guys you'll ever meet. Yeah, he's got the dry humor off
39:44
the field. Yeah, but but nobody would know
39:46
that because he can't stand the media and he doesn't ever
39:49
release any information out to the media which would hurt his
39:52
team or hurt any of his players. Yeah.
39:54
And there's a point that it gets to just pettiness for some of
39:57
these writers. I again that you we talk about
39:59
with baseball like you can't have that reflect for somebody.
40:01
That is a first. Ballot type guy Bill Belichick I
40:05
think is the greatest head coach ever.
40:07
If you want to say he's second or third, like that's if you're
40:09
two or three, you're still a first ballot hall.
40:11
He's the greatest. I think he is too.
40:13
I hated him too. I hate it.
40:14
I used to make always Lombardi. Lombardi and Jeff.
40:17
We have Jeff on the phone. We'll get Jeff on in just a
40:19
second. I I've gone back and forth with
40:21
Jeff for over the over the years.
40:23
It's been over 14 years I've been back and forth and Jeff, as
40:27
he would say he's a Jet fan, but he has been a Patriot fan his
40:32
whole career since he since he was a kid.
40:35
And I've gone back and forth with him saying Lombardi,
40:37
Lombardi, Lombardi, I'm sorry Lombardi couldn't itch Bill
40:41
Belichick's ass. All right, I'm sorry.
40:44
And I, Vince Lombardi, I never got a chance to see him coach.
40:47
Vince Lombardi was nowhere close to the success story that Bill
40:51
Belichick built over there with the New England Patriots.
40:53
He was an amazing play caller and I don't care what anybody
40:58
says. Oh, well, he didn't call the
40:59
offense. What are you talking about?
41:00
He said, hey, coach, you think he's not?
41:02
First of all, and I'll say this, McDaniel, who hired him, who
41:08
coached them up? It was Bill Belichick.
41:12
Every one of these guys, O'Brien, every one of these guys
41:15
he hired who coached them up, Eric Mangini decided to go and
41:22
coach The Jets. What did Bill Belichick do?
41:25
He took his stuff because he didn't want his guys to ever
41:28
coach the New York Jets because he couldn't stand the
41:30
organization. I know the story.
41:32
He took all of Eric Magini stuff and he took it and put it in a
41:36
box and put it outside the offense and locked the office
41:39
and change the locks. That's Bill Belichick.
41:42
Like it or not. That's who he is.
41:46
And you, you might not like him, and I'm a Jets fan.
41:48
I couldn't stand him. I know no Giants fan likes Bill
41:51
Belichick, but you have to respect him.
41:54
You have to. And if it wasn't for Bill
41:56
Belichick Giant fans, you wouldn't have.
41:59
You wouldn't have had two championships in the 80s and the
42:02
90s. Yeah, quickly, before we get to
42:04
fun. Oh Godfest, what do you?
42:06
Think yeah, like I respect Bill Belichick.
42:09
I, I, I don't. I didn't hate Bill Belichick.
42:11
Jets fans hated Bill Belichick for obvious reasons.
42:14
He left them high and dry and then was killed him in the
42:17
division for the next two decades.
42:19
The Giants, we beat them both times in the Super Bowl.
42:22
And he got us 2 Super Bowls in the in the 80s and 1990.
42:25
I got, I got nothing but great things to say about Bill
42:29
Belichick. But you said you wouldn't get
42:32
into conspiracy theories, Speedy.
42:34
I'll do that for you real quick before we get, I guess Jeff's
42:37
calling in. Yeah, he's on Robert Kraft.
42:39
Robert Kraft getting in over Belichick would be the craziest
42:44
thing, and I think it's going to happen now because there were
42:46
only five guys on the list. Belichick's not in.
42:50
He's not one of them. Who else?
42:51
Were they really putting in all those other three?
42:53
Or are they going to punish Robert Kraft too?
42:57
Or was this part of? No, I feel like a big craft.
43:01
It feels like there was some of that.
43:03
The Bill Polian stuff is a little like too Kaiser soze ish
43:06
for me. Like, oh, he like.
43:09
Apparently Ryan Lee came out and he was one of the ones that
43:11
apparently did too. Who cares what necessary trust?
43:15
Me all I know it's he's like, well, maybe he was telling
43:18
people not to vote and then he voted for him anyway so that
43:21
they couldn't trace it back to him.
43:22
I heard that today. Belichick always knew when to
43:25
give up on guys. Maybe a year early, but
43:28
sometimes he gave up on them when they were.
43:30
The only position. Giants took Nate Solder speedy,
43:33
Remember that one You said the. Only position he had problems
43:38
drafting is wide receiver. That's.
43:40
It you know why? Because Coughlin was the wide
43:43
receivers coach back in the day on that those Giants teams and
43:47
Coughlin always had the best receivers and it was always the
43:50
best competition between the two of them.
43:52
They set in practice in those days.
43:54
And then obviously you saw Coughlin was the only one that
43:58
could hang with him that undefeated season until it was
44:00
Game 18 and one. And then obviously in the second
44:04
Super Bowl, the Giants won as well with Coughlin.
44:06
But just before you let Jeff in, I had to say I never said
44:10
coaching defense is easy or calling defense easy.
44:12
It's just like you got the dollar menu type of play sheet.
44:15
You said it's a lot easier. It's a lot easier because the
44:18
size of the play sheet is so much smaller than what you have
44:23
for offense. There's so many more things.
44:25
Remember, McAdoo had The Cheesecake Factory menu of play
44:31
calls. It had like a million play calls
44:33
on it. It's just a lot of defensive
44:34
coordinators they have. That's a lot of that
44:37
internalized. Probably just.
44:38
Need to get a few things out, you know, like some like
44:41
advanced blitz is like wink, I bet has just like a little index
44:45
card with like his blitz packages for the weekend and
44:49
that's all he needs. In fact, I've seen him do it.
44:51
So it's that's that's kind of the difference between offense
44:54
and defense. But let's hear with this crazy,
44:57
this crazy Jeffrey that in Florida.
45:00
All right, Jeff from Tampa. What's up, buddy?
45:04
Errol, we have gone back and forth forever on this, and I'm a
45:08
reformed Patriots fan now. I'm just like you.
45:10
I'm a Jets guy now, huge Jets guy, right?
45:14
But it's good to see you come around on this a little bit,
45:18
right? Because it's like he's
45:20
undeniably the best coach that's ever coached in the NFL.
45:23
No question. No question.
45:24
Like he's. Coached in the hardest of times,
45:28
like all these other guys that compare him to, Lombardi never
45:31
had to deal with free agency. You got a guy, you owned him,
45:35
right? Belichick has survived all the
45:37
storms. And the cheating thing I don't
45:40
even buy into, right? Because that's a joke.
45:42
If you go back to Jimmy Johnson's tweet from a day ago,
45:45
he goes cheating. I used to do that every week.
45:48
So they were all doing it right. So this and this is just one of
45:54
the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.
45:56
If he's not a Hall of Famer, who is?
45:58
I, I will tell you right now, everybody on the ballot, I
46:01
would, I would take Bill Belichick over all of them, Drew
46:04
Brees, every one of them. This guy has done things for
46:07
this league that nobody will ever accomplish.
46:10
I don't think they'll any, they'll ever be a successful
46:14
coach, as successful as Bill Belichick.
46:16
The the success story and in a division that would at at some
46:20
points were arguably one of the best divisions in football.
46:24
The Jets weren't always bad. Miami wasn't always bad.
46:28
Buffalo wasn't as always bad. All these teams were good at
46:33
some point of those 20 years. And remember, Rex Ryan played
46:37
against Bill Belichick. We've seen this.
46:39
We we've seen great, you know, great games between both of
46:43
these guys. And even Rex Ryan, when he heard
46:45
this, what Rex Ryan said about this, he said this is an
46:48
absolute catastrophe. How could the NFL and the
46:51
committee absolutely agree to this and not put this man?
46:55
I'm not saying Robert Kraft doesn't deserve some of the
46:58
credit, but guess what? Who do you think disposed of
47:01
those videos? It wasn't Bill Belichick.
47:03
Hold on. Hold on, what does Craft deserve
47:05
credit for? If you look at if you look at
47:08
the the league report card that went around, Patriots have the
47:12
worst facilities, the worst stadium, the worst travel.
47:15
They got F for almost everything.
47:18
And then when you look at the spending, the actual spending in
47:20
the league, Robert Kraft has spent the least over the last 20
47:24
years. So what are we giving them
47:25
credits for? No, I understand that.
47:27
And obviously Jeff, a person that has what we say has rooted
47:32
for them in the past as he became a, a new full blown jet,
47:37
formed a Jets fan, I'm sorry, reborn, reborn Jet fan.
47:42
Obviously the thought here is, is that Robert Kraft is is Roger
47:47
Goodell's best friend or one of his good friends.
47:49
And because of that, he is going to be inducted as a first ballot
47:53
Hall of Famer. And that's the only reason why.
47:54
And I do believe that there is some kind of cahoots with these
47:59
two guys, these two men who fish together.
48:02
There's 100% of conspiracy theory going on, right?
48:05
Because we, we've talked about this a long time ago, right?
48:09
But if you're telling me the Patriots were a 20 year dynasty,
48:14
right, there's. Who's in the Hall of Fame?
48:17
It's Tom Brady and who they They won't let in Willie McGinnis,
48:20
they won't let in Vince Wilforth, they won't let in any
48:22
of these other players. So you're telling me they have a
48:25
dynasty but nobody's any good? It makes no sense.
48:29
And I agree with you, Jeff. There were a lot of great Ty Law
48:32
made it into the Hall of Fame. But, and by the way, who drafted
48:35
Ty Law? I mean, nobody wants to give any
48:38
any credit to this man, this man who has really re changed the
48:43
game, defensive play calling. He is the guy.
48:47
He's the king. He's the guy that what he did.
48:50
What did Bill Belichick always do?
48:51
He took out your best player. He made sure that I'm going to
48:55
take out your best player. You got to beat me with your
48:57
secondary players, your third, your third players.
49:00
If you beat me, well, there you go get you have the chance to
49:03
beat me. But they got to play.
49:05
They got to play at a top level and they never did.
49:08
And Bill Belichick was the king of doing that, finding ways to
49:11
beat teams. And by the way, Peyton Manning
49:14
over the years has said the hardest team to play against was
49:18
a Rex Ryan defense and a Bill Belichick defense.
49:21
Think, think about that. Arguably the greatest
49:24
quarterback of, well, you can argue the 2 greatest
49:27
quarterbacks of this era was Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
49:31
And Peyton Manning came out and said the only two defensive guys
49:35
that he couldn't play very well against is Bill Belichick and
49:38
Rex Ryan. Think about that.
49:41
And this guy is in the 1st. And Rex Ryan doesn't even itch
49:45
Bill Belichick's ass. He doesn't even come close.
49:47
No, he just puts a tattoo. On he doesn't even come close.
49:49
That's right, he probably. There's something, there's
49:51
definitely something fishy here going on, and I wouldn't put it
49:54
past the conspiracy theory that Bill, but Bill Polian found
49:58
eleven other guys to vote no so he could vote yes too.
50:00
You're literally talking about a guy that was just the biggest
50:03
bitch that had to create new rules to beat Bill Belichick.
50:08
Right? Like he was the one going and
50:10
complaining the whole time with the Colts and all these other
50:12
TDs. He's a he's such a cry baby.
50:15
He's a sly man and, and again, a slither as they call it.
50:20
And obviously Bill and that's another guy.
50:23
The Jets have hired Bill Polian over the years to hire their
50:26
coaches. It hasn't worked for The Jets.
50:29
But he's another guy though. Like they come out a couple of
50:31
days later to say that oh he voted for him.
50:34
Then why did he change his Story 3 times?
50:36
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, Jeff.
50:40
I, I I don't. Mention setting in that series
50:42
that the Jew can't A can't remember who we voted for and
50:45
then B was backtracking it and then didn't know.
50:48
Come on. It makes no sense.
50:50
None of these He's a. Snake, you know he's an absolute
50:52
snake. 100 percent, 100% a snake and and again, the NFL,
50:57
everybody on that committee should be ashamed of themselves,
51:00
should be ashamed. I'll give you another one that
51:02
makes Belichick the GOAT, right? This dude actually read the rule
51:06
book and did shit that had John Harbaugh on the sidelines in
51:11
tears, crying because he didn't know the rules that Bill
51:14
Belichick did because he actually read the rule book.
51:17
I mentioned that. I mention it and then it was
51:20
John Harbaugh that reached out to Indianapolis and told
51:23
Indianapolis, oh, they're deflating the balls, go get
51:26
them. And and which is.
51:27
Another farce which is a whole nother made-up story.
51:30
Yeah, it was John Harbaugh. I just so everybody does it or
51:33
they haven't watched football too long.
51:35
It was the one. John Harbaugh was the one that
51:37
reached out to Indianapolis and created that whole deflate gate.
51:41
It was John Harbaugh who now is the head coach of the New York
51:44
Giants, by the way, so. I remember the rules there.
51:47
No, unfortunately, and I'm not saying John Horrible isn't a
51:50
nice guy and he's not talented at what he does.
51:52
It just it, it everybody is jealous of his success.
51:56
And Bill Belichick has always gone out and and has been
51:59
successful. And if you give Belichick a
52:01
little bit more time, he'll probably be successful in the in
52:04
the NCAA too. If he could just keep that woman
52:07
into yeah, that's not going to happen and keep her, you know,
52:10
away from the field, I mean, or something.
52:12
I mean, that's not that's. Not going to happen.
52:15
He's not. Well, I I think I I will say
52:19
this, that by next year I think he will get another coaching job
52:22
in the NFLII think that he will I.
52:24
Don't know if they want to do that either.
52:25
He's at the age that if they hire him, they're going to just
52:28
have to fire him in three years anyways and rebuild again.
52:32
Most organizations don't want to do that.
52:34
They want to fight. Everyone's looking for the next
52:36
Bill Belichick in the sense that they're looking for the guy to
52:40
have a 10 or 20 year run with. You're not having that with Old
52:45
Bill. I agree with you, Jeff.
52:47
Jeff, thank you for calling, Bud.
52:49
And then one last point for you, Errol.
52:51
I totally disagree that coaching defense is easier than coaching.
52:55
Offense. Why is that?
52:56
I can. I can come out and start a game
52:59
and I could have all week just scripted plays, right?
53:02
You can't script a defense and say no matter what, this is what
53:05
we're doing, no matter what personnel another team runs in
53:08
you. Can script one drive Jeff?
53:10
It was so great talking to Jeff. We love you, Jeff.
53:13
Thank you for calling Bud. Jeff hey, it's, you know, it's
53:16
time to take a ride. Errol.
53:17
Yes, on on the coaching carousel.
53:21
That's right. Let's do it.
53:23
Let's wrap it. Let's rock it.
53:25
Let's slap it like a pocket. All right, here we are, the
53:29
coaching carousel. We're going to go through all of
53:33
these coaching hires relatively quickly before we get our great
53:36
guest on in a little bit. First one, Joe Brady, promoted
53:41
from offensive coordinator to head coach of the Bills.
53:44
Again, very curious, Errol, just before you get into it, you
53:49
know, they said they wanted to change so they fired McDermott,
53:52
but then they promoted their own GM to president and then
53:55
promoted their OC to head coach. What change are we talking about
54:00
again? There were rumors of Brian Dabel
54:02
going there. That doesn't happen.
54:04
They then hired Jim Leonard to be defensive coordinator.
54:09
How you do? How you feeling about?
54:10
I love it. Brady.
54:11
I I like Joe Brady. I think he's a very talented
54:14
offensive coordinator. He's seen what he's done with
54:17
obviously Josh Allen and since he's taken over for Josh Allen,
54:20
they've been one of the more good or dominant offenses we've
54:25
seen over the past couple of years.
54:27
And, and by the way, you look at the MVP that Josh Allen won, who
54:32
do you think was coaching and who was the offensive
54:34
coordinator when he won his first MVP?
54:35
It was Joe Brady. It wasn't Brian Table.
54:38
So his success has a lot to do with Joe Brady and and obviously
54:42
the development of a young Josh Allen.
54:44
Now, obviously Brian Table is going to get a little bit more
54:46
credit because he changed his throwing motion and all that.
54:49
And maybe maybe so and very well deserved.
54:51
But I love the fact that you're bringing Jim Leonard in.
54:54
I love the fact that you're you're bringing in a younger
54:56
coaching staff. If you want to figure out how to
54:59
get to that next level, you have to bring in new voices and
55:03
transition it in a better way. And I think this is a great move
55:06
by the Bills. Yeah, I would mention when they
55:08
fired McDermott and we talked about it, where the defensive,
55:12
the Bills, the play calling was historically bad.
55:14
I think they needed a real change with that.
55:16
That's why I think they got rid of McDermott.
55:17
So Jim Leonard's a different type of defensive guy.
55:19
I think that'll really help. I thought Brian Flores was the
55:21
best high head coach hire for them for that reason, plus a
55:24
good culture guy. But I think this is good for
55:26
them. Brian Flores, before they even
55:28
hired, signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings.
55:31
He was going nowhere. Yeah, I didn't say it was
55:33
likely. I just said that's what I would
55:34
have. Done.
55:35
I don't know if anybody's ever going to hire at this point.
55:37
I don't think it is. It would have been the Steelers.
55:39
It's been three years and there was a guy in Kansas City that
55:43
was looking for a job for a very, very long time and never
55:46
landed one. And where is he now?
55:47
Back in Kansas? So there you go.
55:49
Yeah, with Brady, it's interesting because sometimes we
55:51
see these these types of in house hires.
55:54
You saw that with the Saints, with Dennis Allen.
55:55
I knew that was the worst one as he was bad with the Raiders.
55:58
They boxed it recently with top Bulls, but this is the best one
56:00
of that group just because he's been successful and comfortable
56:02
with that team. Was Brady the guy at LSU that
56:06
Burrow year with the Chase and Jefferson?
56:08
Yeah, that was him. All right, That that's pretty
56:11
good for me. I'm very curious to see how they
56:13
do if I guess you know, you're taking the restrictor plate off.
56:17
The offensive coordinator now gets to do everything he ever.
56:19
Wanted to do fish. They've been one of the best
56:21
offensive teams in all of the NFL since Joe Brady has came and
56:25
has taken over for that offense mid.
56:26
Season to remember. Yeah, yeah.
56:29
Hard to argue, young guy. We'll see how it goes.
56:32
New York team, right? Let's go to the more interesting
56:34
story, which is the Cleveland Browns.
56:36
The Cleveland Browns hired Todd Munkin as their next head coach.
56:41
Again, he's the former Ravens offensive coordinator for the
56:44
last few years. Munkin was like lined up to be
56:49
the offensive coordinator of the Giants, but I guess he passes
56:52
good personality tests and writes good, good essays for
56:56
homework for the officials over there with the analytical crowd
56:59
in Cleveland, which is apparently how they do things.
57:02
The thing that is the The most fascinating thing about all this
57:06
is defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who the Browns tried
57:11
like hell to retain, but without giving him the head coaching
57:14
job. For whatever reason, they didn't
57:16
want to go with him, although his defense clearly carried the
57:20
program for the last couple of seasons.
57:23
It's it's just madding. He lost his mind, basically told
57:27
him and not such nice language to go F themselves and he'll
57:32
never coach for them again. They can go to hell.
57:35
Jim Schwartz, you know, probably one of the best defensive
57:38
coordinators the last decade plus.
57:40
He had a head coaching job a couple of years ago and he
57:44
failed. Yeah.
57:45
And and usually when you fail, it takes a while for you to get
57:48
another head coaching job there unless your guys like Brian
57:51
Dabel had probably is lined up next year to get a head coaching
57:54
job or Josh McDaniel, Rex Ryan or Josh McDaniel who gets gets a
57:59
coaching job right away. But obviously Todd Monken is an
58:03
interesting hire. We'll see how it works.
58:05
He doesn't have a quarterback. And I don't want to hear about
58:07
Shador, Mr. Prime Blind. I mean, I I don't know if Shador
58:11
is going to be the answer over there.
58:13
I think they have Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett, how long is it
58:16
going to be where he's going to force his way out of there to go
58:20
to a championship team? He's one of the greatest
58:22
defensive lineman we've seen in this era.
58:24
And he might never win a championship.
58:26
And we've seen a lot of great players not win championships.
58:29
I think Miles Garrett is going to force his way out probably in
58:31
the next two years if he wants to play for a championship.
58:35
This team is not championship bound.
58:37
This is an ownership that doesn't know what they're doing.
58:39
And I guess Todd Monken was probably the best available
58:44
offensive coordinator, but how much, how much could you compare
58:49
that to Lamar Jackson? Didn't want him there anymore.
58:51
As a matter of fact, Lamar Jackson told John Harbaugh, if
58:55
you come back, you get rid of Todd Monken.
58:57
I don't want to be coached by Todd Monken.
58:59
And then when John Harbaugh said, well, I'm I'm kind of
59:03
hesitant if I'm going to bring it back or not, That was pretty
59:06
much the story that I was reading.
59:08
Well, that's when Lamar Jackson went to ownership and said, get
59:11
rid of John Harbaugh. I don't want to be coached by
59:13
him anymore. And then denies it.
59:15
So I think there's there's a lot of truth to that story.
59:19
I don't know how good Tom Monken is as an offensive coordinator
59:22
because guess what? Baltimore's offense wasn't what
59:25
you call explosive this past. Year It's interesting because I
59:29
think Todd Monken, I thought he should have gotten a head
59:31
coaching job after his tenure with Tampa when he actually
59:33
before Ariens was there, was actually a pretty good offensive
59:35
coordinator there. Then he went to Atlanta, had a
59:37
Goodyear there and then he's kind of bumped the rounds.
59:39
He had to adapt again to change his offense with Baltimore.
59:43
So that's the one thing I do like about this hire.
59:44
But you're stuck with a really broad Browns team that has been
59:47
any talent on offense. So don't expect it to work right
59:49
away. The Jim Schwartz angle, yeah, it
59:51
looks bad when you interview him twice as a head coaching
59:54
candidate and then just let him go like after that, disrespect
59:56
him. Like they just don't even
59:57
interview him if you're. Going to He was never getting
59:59
that job because he was. Really just as a figurehead to
1:00:01
just to stay in the organization as a defensive coordinator.
1:00:05
All right, let's move on to the New York Jets.
1:00:08
So Rich Samini reports that The Jets are going to hire Dolphins
1:00:13
secondary coach Brian Duker as their next defensive coordinator
1:00:17
who coached with Glenn with the Lions from 2021 to 2023.
1:00:22
Glenn will be calling the plays now.
1:00:24
Wink Martindale, as we talked about on last show, it was all
1:00:28
lined up apparently for months for Wink.
1:00:31
And we know this because when Wink didn't get the job, he let
1:00:35
everybody in the media know exactly what happened.
1:00:38
According to Wink, at least in his perspective, it was a done
1:00:41
deal. He flies in to talk to Glenn and
1:00:45
all of a sudden Glenn wants to call plays.
1:00:48
When Wink was told he was going to be calling plays, it was
1:00:50
never part of it. In fact, it appears that Glenn
1:00:53
recently had a change of heart because zero of the people in
1:00:58
their first round interviews of the eight people they
1:01:01
interviewed were Brian Duker. And Brian Duker is 36.
1:01:05
And I think all those guys were interviewing under the premise
1:01:08
they were going to call the plays.
1:01:10
That's what happened here. The Jets fired seven other
1:01:12
coaches, including offensive coordinator Tanner Eggstrand,
1:01:16
after just one season. They've interviewed 5 different
1:01:19
OCS, including Frank Reich, and even reached out to Gruden.
1:01:23
But Gruden turned it down to stay with his podcast and gigs.
1:01:27
Well, there's a lot to get into and I'm not going to speak too
1:01:30
deep into it, but if you're a Jet fan and I, I like Aaron
1:01:34
Glenn, but I'm starting to twist the other way.
1:01:37
I am starting to worry that nobody is going to be able to
1:01:40
get along with this guy. He had problems with Aaron
1:01:43
Rodgers. He made Aaron Rodgers fly up
1:01:45
here. And before Aaron Rodgers even
1:01:46
had a thought to try to I guess sell himself to The Jets, he
1:01:50
told him to take a hike just as quick.
1:01:53
And this is a problem with Aaron Glenn.
1:01:54
I'm not saying Aaron Glenn isn't a good guy.
1:01:57
I'm not saying that Aaron Glenn might not be a great coach, but
1:02:00
if you're looking at 9 coaches that you hired in one year, you
1:02:03
fire this is this is bad. This is this reminds me of Brian
1:02:07
Dabel. The same story with Brian Dabel.
1:02:10
He started firing his own coaches because he couldn't get
1:02:12
along with his own coaches and then what?
1:02:14
Within two years he gets fired after one year of successful
1:02:17
football. This is no success story for the
1:02:20
New York Jets in a three win season.
1:02:22
And now you're going into a second year where he's on the
1:02:24
hot seat. He decides to fire his offensive
1:02:27
coordinator. Young offensive coordinator had
1:02:29
nothing to do with their losing situation because he had no wide
1:02:32
receivers. He fires him.
1:02:34
They still don't have an offensive coordinator.
1:02:36
He reaches out to Todd Gruden. Todd Gruden told him to take a
1:02:39
hike. He had no interest in taking
1:02:42
this job because why would he want to be coached by Aaron
1:02:44
Glenn when he could be the coach on another team?
1:02:47
And and again, it just to me, it's not surprising.
1:02:51
I think this might be the last time in the last year we see
1:02:54
Aaron Glenn as a head coach. If this team doesn't find a way
1:02:57
to win eight games, there is no way the jet fans are going to
1:03:00
let this guy survive unfortunately.
1:03:02
And honestly, it might be fortunately, because this guy,
1:03:05
so far in the last couple of weeks, looks like he has no
1:03:08
control over his coaches and no control over his team.
1:03:12
Yeah, it it looks bad when it is exactly the Brian Dabel
1:03:15
situation. Brian Dabel did with three
1:03:16
different coaches and now Glenn's doing with like 6.
1:03:18
Like it's not an ideal combination with that.
1:03:21
So you don't want it to have to get that badly where you're
1:03:23
getting, I guess too much of A power hungrier or what you want
1:03:26
to call it, because I don't think extra deserves to lose his
1:03:28
job. I think field was the wrong type
1:03:30
of quarterback for his type of scheme and Fish.
1:03:32
I think one of the five guys that was listed was Greg Roman.
1:03:35
So if they keep fields, maybe they go for that angle, but it's
1:03:37
to cut fields anyway. But yeah, it's really going to
1:03:40
make it a less desirable job for any of these guys.
1:03:42
Doesn't look good is probably the prognosis for The Jets
1:03:47
season this year. They better hope you know, I
1:03:50
don't know if they're going to keep Glenn.
1:03:51
If they can't, they're not at least be serviced.
1:03:53
They're not. There's no way they keep Glenn
1:03:55
after this happened in the offseason.
1:03:57
There is no way. It's it's so he's telling, you
1:04:00
know, I don't know how much of it's the organization.
1:04:03
I think a lot of it's Glenn. I think there's more than a few
1:04:06
whispers that he just doesn't have a real grasp on, you know,
1:04:08
control of what he's doing. You know, it's his first time.
1:04:11
It's, you know, maybe that's not meant for him.
1:04:14
Maybe he's meant to be a really good coordinator.
1:04:16
You know, you can do that. So we'll see.
1:04:18
Let's get into it. It's Brian Stable, my favorite
1:04:22
former Giants head coach. He got hired.
1:04:26
And this is almost like I called it could have wrote this.
1:04:29
We could have wrote this as a comedy bit two years ago because
1:04:32
it was it would be hilarious. And now that Robert Sala is a
1:04:35
head coach of the Titans, it's Bambi and and Brian Dabel is the
1:04:41
OC, we heard some whispers that this hiring is kind of
1:04:44
independent of Robert Sala. Bambi, Sala hiring him.
1:04:49
This is more of the Titans ownership that wanted Dabel.
1:04:53
So I'm sure that'll go well over time.
1:04:57
Other things about it, Carmen Brasilo, the best coach, I would
1:05:03
argue on the Giants last year, the offensive line coach is
1:05:07
going with Dabel to protect Cam Ward.
1:05:09
And there were stories that came out that Dabel really, really
1:05:14
pushed to trade for Cam Ward in that draft, moving up, trading
1:05:21
the number three pick that would have been guys are messing with
1:05:28
the cameras. Sorry, I just show the.
1:05:29
Bambi solid graphic. That's all right.
1:05:32
We know all about Bambi Solid. I will say this, I will say
1:05:35
this, I think this is good for Cam Ward.
1:05:38
I think that Dabel knows how to develop quarterbacks.
1:05:41
He developed Josh Allen. He did help Jackson Dart this
1:05:44
year. I know Jackson Dart obviously
1:05:47
didn't have him for a full season, but this guy knows how
1:05:49
to develop young quarterbacks. I think this is an absolute slam
1:05:53
dunk, but how long is this going to last?
1:05:55
What? Robert Sala?
1:05:56
I mean, Robert Sala, I don't care.
1:05:58
I couldn't believe Yahoo Sports ranked Robert Salas higher as an
1:06:03
A minus. How do you rank Bambi Salo as an
1:06:08
A minus? This guy was despicable.
1:06:10
He's one of the worst coaches in Jets history and statistics
1:06:13
would tell you he could go down as one of the top five worst
1:06:16
coaches in NFL history and they're giving Yahoo Sports is
1:06:20
giving an A minus. Bleacher Report gave him AB
1:06:23
plus. It's ridiculous.
1:06:25
It's absolutely ridiculous. And the fact that him and Dabel,
1:06:29
2 New York coaches are working together, oh man, how long is it
1:06:33
going to take for these guys to be fighting on the sideline
1:06:36
because Table couldn't get along with any of his coaches?
1:06:38
How is he going to get along with Mr. Bambi?
1:06:41
Oh yeah, it's a country music territory.
1:06:43
This is a potential for the rodeo clown show.
1:06:46
And with Robert Sala, it's. Absolutely pathetic.
1:06:49
This is an absolute catastrophe. Giant fans and Jet fans have
1:06:53
something to laugh about. And Fish, you were talking about
1:06:55
it like it's always bad when the GM and the ownership wants one
1:06:58
thing and Robert Sala wants another.
1:07:00
Those are not the teams that work out well.
1:07:02
But you don't think it's going to be like that Reese's peanut
1:07:05
butter commercial where the peanut butter truck and the
1:07:07
chocolate truck, you know, they're just having a bad day
1:07:09
and they collide and it comes, comes something beautiful, you
1:07:12
know? Ryan.
1:07:14
Dave will just eat it all. Dave's.
1:07:17
Well, I mean, Dave slimmed down in the last year.
1:07:19
Didn't help a lot. Didn't help a lot.
1:07:22
You. Know then Dave's probably used a
1:07:25
lot of shots to to trim down. Yeah, and he slimmed his brain
1:07:28
down a lot. Yeah.
1:07:29
Look, I I met him the one time right before the season started.
1:07:33
I told him good luck. Basically he gave me a grunt and
1:07:36
a fist pump and that was the extent he.
1:07:38
Gave you a grunt. Wow, it was.
1:07:41
Like it was like sitting there watching.
1:07:44
I was sitting there watching like 7 year old flag football.
1:07:46
I don't give a grunt while fired.
1:07:48
Salad will give deer noises. No deer.
1:07:52
Deer deers are generally silent. Yeah, they don't make noise.
1:07:55
They I don't. Know if you knew that?
1:07:57
They pounce. That's what they do.
1:08:02
There's a lot of deer up by me. I don't know how if you got it
1:08:04
out there on the island. Yeah, we got listen, we we got
1:08:06
one more topic here left on the carousel.
1:08:09
Let's get into it. And this one is kind of curious.
1:08:14
The Broncos, after getting eliminated, you know, in the
1:08:17
championship game, fired their offensive coordinator, Joe
1:08:21
Lombardi. Now, they didn't have their
1:08:23
quarterback for the championship game.
1:08:26
Jared Stidham was the quarterback and he hadn't played
1:08:29
the game in three years and he and there was a snowstorm.
1:08:32
Neither quarterback got over 100 yards like you.
1:08:36
And then you look at what the Broncos did this year on the
1:08:39
offensive side, they were 10th in total yards per game, 14th in
1:08:44
scoring, 11th in passing yards, 16th in rushing yards.
1:08:50
Not bad, not great, but like, not bad.
1:08:53
And you can argue not a super talented cast of running backs,
1:08:58
not a super talented cast of receivers.
1:09:01
On that team, they got a bunch of role players and they pieced
1:09:03
it together. They got Sutton is their best
1:09:06
skill guy. Is it really that guy's fault?
1:09:11
Do they need to fire this guy? Stidham really affected his
1:09:16
opportunity to keep his job. I think it was all on the fact
1:09:20
that Jarrett Stidham in the second-half was abysmal and
1:09:24
Peyton had to point his finger at somebody and he had to point
1:09:27
it to him. He was the guy that he pointed
1:09:29
his finger to. And Sean Payton is one of the
1:09:31
more accomplished offensive coordinators we've ever had in
1:09:34
the NFL. You could argue it's probably
1:09:36
the second best play caller right behind Andy Reid, but the
1:09:41
fact here is Jarrett Stidham is a bona fide backup third string
1:09:44
quarterback. It didn't work out in the snow
1:09:47
and I don't even think if it was snowing that they win, even with
1:09:51
Jarrett Stidham. I'm not blaming Lombardi.
1:09:53
I'm not going to point my fingers at him because hey, your
1:09:57
backup quarter quarterback didn't show up.
1:09:58
If it was Bo Nicks and Bo Nicks didn't show up in a big game,
1:10:02
that's different. But Bo Nicks played at a very
1:10:04
good season this year, had a very good season the year
1:10:06
before, and Lombardi had a lot to do with it.
1:10:09
And with a young quarterback in development, it's not easy to
1:10:12
develop a quarterback in the NFL, and he did it pretty well.
1:10:16
So Lombardi's going to get another coaching job, an
1:10:19
offensive coordinator job, sometime in the next couple of
1:10:22
years, maybe in a year when coaching.
1:10:25
You know, a coaching transition will happen next year when they
1:10:28
need another offensive coordinator.
1:10:30
It's a shame that Sean Payton decided to part ways with.
1:10:33
Him, yeah. I wasn't crazy about his play
1:10:35
calling throughout the year, but I don't think this was a
1:10:36
firewall offense. Remember, he also just Bo.
1:10:38
Nick's also played very well the week before against the Phils.
1:10:40
And he's better than Todd Monken.
1:10:42
Probably #1 pass defense in the NFL were the Bills last year,
1:10:47
this year 156 yards a game and boat next played very well in
1:10:49
that. I can't criticize him for that
1:10:51
just because Jared said him had a bad game and I think this
1:10:53
makes no. Sense.
1:10:54
It doesn't make sense. I got a quote here from Jay
1:10:57
Gruden and it's on Twitter. Oh damn.
1:11:00
Joe Lombardi got fired OC at Broncos tough business.
1:11:03
Lost in the AFC Championships with backup quarterback.
1:11:06
Guess he made the call on 4th and two not to kick the field
1:11:09
goal. Got a tee time at noon tomorrow.
1:11:12
Joe, give me a call. I think people are going to give
1:11:16
Lombardi a job pretty quickly. I don't think so.
1:11:18
I think they're going to wait a year.
1:11:20
I think next year when there's new coaches available, whoever
1:11:25
needs an offensive coin, Lombardi will be one of those
1:11:28
guys. Maybe the New York Jets when
1:11:29
they're hiring a new coach because it seems like Karen
1:11:31
Glenn is not going to last too long over there the way
1:11:33
everything is going in Jetsville.
1:11:36
And by the way, I'm interested to see what The Jets are going
1:11:38
to do in the draft this year. At #2 there's no other
1:11:42
quarterback. I don't know if The Jets could
1:11:44
trade down. Do they pick at #2 And it seems
1:11:46
like they might have to. So where do they go?
1:11:49
It's it's an interesting position being that this is not
1:11:52
a quarterback class this year. It'll be next year.
1:11:54
But The Jets do have three first round draft picks courtesy from
1:11:58
Indianapolis and the Cowboys, including themselves next year.
1:12:02
So they could be positioned to get whoever they want next year
1:12:05
if need. So very interesting on the Aaron
1:12:08
Glenn saga. And I'll tell you this right
1:12:10
now, if you're a Jet fan, you're probably predicting that there
1:12:13
is no way Moji is going to go into another offseason where you
1:12:17
have three first round draft picks with Aaron Glenn.
1:12:19
If Aaron Glenn doesn't win more than eight games this year and
1:12:21
the way it looks, he's not going to win more than five games this
1:12:25
year the way this team is transitioning and transitioning
1:12:29
in the offseason. So if they could bring some of
1:12:31
these Lion superstars over here just because Aaron Glenn, that's
1:12:34
good for The Jets. It's just not going to be good
1:12:36
for the organization moving forward when it comes to salary
1:12:39
caps. So typical New York Jets
1:12:42
fashion. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
1:12:44
we call this the deuce of the day.
1:12:46
The deuce of the day you log. Not a log.
1:12:50
I don't have a log but. You know, ladies and gentlemen,
1:13:00
I watch a lot of boxing, a lot of boxing.
1:13:04
And if you don't remember, Jake Paul was supposed to fight Tank
1:13:09
Davis a couple of months ago before the year was over.
1:13:13
It was cancelled because Tank David Davis had some domestic
1:13:17
violence. You know, there was stuff coming
1:13:20
up, going out there that he was beating up his girlfriend.
1:13:23
And the story didn't really grow.
1:13:26
It kind of disappeared. I don't know what happened.
1:13:29
And then 3-4 months later, now you're hearing that they were
1:13:32
looking for him, They wanted to arrest him and he disappeared
1:13:35
off the face of the earth. Well, ladies and gentlemen, in a
1:13:39
two weeks, in two weeks time, they finally found Tank Davis in
1:13:43
Miami. He was hiding out in Miami.
1:13:45
They caught him and they arrested him.
1:13:47
It's it's shameful. I don't know if Tank Davis
1:13:50
fights again. This guy was one of the best
1:13:53
fighters of our era, especially at in his weight class, one of
1:13:57
the top five fighters right now in the world.
1:14:00
And then you hear this story, if this story is true and obviously
1:14:03
he's ducking and weaving. I mean, using that analogy is
1:14:07
something he knows a lot about. If that is true, Tank Davis
1:14:10
might never put on boxing shoes. He might not have never put on
1:14:14
boxing gloves again. Now, obviously he's got a lot of
1:14:18
money, he's got a lot of good lawyers.
1:14:20
So I'll be very interesting, interested to see if he pays off
1:14:24
his former girlfriend because I'm I doubt they're dating
1:14:28
anymore. But the horrible, it's a
1:14:30
horrible story. And it's obviously typical when
1:14:33
you think about guys like Tank Davis that has been ducking and
1:14:36
weaving the police and ducking and weaving the domestic
1:14:39
violence stipulations. And I got to give Jake Paul a
1:14:41
little bit of credit. I never usually do this.
1:14:43
Jake Paul called him a woman beater, a piece of of garbage.
1:14:47
And that's what Tank Davis is. He's a piece of crap and he
1:14:50
deserves everything that he gets because if he did beat his
1:14:53
girlfriend, which it seems like he did, he should be thrown away
1:14:57
and he should be thrown in jail and the key should be thrown
1:15:00
away. So it's a horrible story, not
1:15:02
good for boxing. And that, ladies and gentlemen,
1:15:05
is my deuce of the day. When we come back, ladies and
1:15:09
gentlemen, he just popped in. We will be talking to
1:15:12
Jacksonville Jaguar, Jaguars linebacker, our friend Foyer
1:15:18
Allelukin. But first, ladies and gentlemen,
1:15:21
our sports minute with the one and only fish.
1:15:26
This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
1:15:30
All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sportsman.
1:15:32
It got a couple of stories before we get into the scores
1:15:35
this evening. Controversy continues in college
1:15:38
basketball this season as Alabama Senator Charles Bideco's
1:15:42
temporary restraining order at TRO has been extended by the
1:15:45
courts, allowing the former G League player to continue his
1:15:48
collegiate basketball career for now with the Crimson Tide.
1:15:52
Bideco entered the NBA draft after playing two years at
1:15:55
Alabama in 20/21/22 and 2223. Who went undrafted and has
1:16:00
announced around the G League since since he's following the
1:16:03
lead of Baylor forward James Nanji, who was drafted into the
1:16:07
NBA but played in the G League. Return to college basketball
1:16:11
this year with rules about eligibility being completely
1:16:13
thrown into flux with this new NIL era of the game.
1:16:17
Extending this TRO didn't help Alabama Saturday against
1:16:20
Tennessee as they fell 79 and 73, but Eco had 13 points in the
1:16:25
laws. The judge in the case recused
1:16:27
himself after admitting to being an Alabama fan and active donor
1:16:32
for the program, so clearly no funny business here.
1:16:36
Who knows what's even legal in 2026.
1:16:38
I guess the NCAA is operating under the Let Them Play
1:16:41
guideline, but released a statement saying the NCAA does
1:16:44
not allow any actual bias motivated the courts granting of
1:16:48
a temporary restraining order. Instead, the NCAA contends that
1:16:51
the proceeding in this court has created an impermissible
1:16:54
appearance of impropriety because of the intense media
1:16:58
scrutiny and public speculation surrounding the courts
1:17:01
relationship with the University of Alabama.
1:17:04
And if that's its athletics programs and student athletes,
1:17:07
the NCAA may have a point. Although it's not that there's
1:17:10
ever been any speculation about Alabama getting its players in
1:17:14
under the table ways ever before, right, It's in what is
1:17:18
only the 4th trade ever between the two franchises, The New York
1:17:23
Rangers sent veteran defenseman Carson Sussi to the Islanders
1:17:27
for their 2026 third round pick. Sussi is filling a bottom 4
1:17:31
pairing roll now for the Islanders, giving them veteran
1:17:33
depth along the blue line. For the Rangers, who are in
1:17:36
retooling mode thanks to GM Chris Jury's public letter to
1:17:39
fans, they add a draft pick for a player not on their new
1:17:42
timeline. Sussi's 31 six foot 4
1:17:45
left-handed shot is owed 3.25 playing for the season in an
1:17:50
expiring deal. The Islanders hope you can
1:17:51
replace Alexander Romanoff on the left side who's been out
1:17:54
after having a shoulder surgery in November as they make a
1:17:56
playoff push heading into the extended Olympic break on
1:17:59
February 6th. The only other trades between
1:18:02
the Rangers and Islanders in history were even less notable
1:18:04
than this one, with the two trades with late round picks
1:18:07
occurring in the early 70s and one in 2010.
1:18:09
The retooling has started on Broadway and with Susie moving,
1:18:12
expect the floodgates to open for more notable Rangers on
1:18:15
their way out of town ahead of the March 6th trade deadline,
1:18:18
which was extended for the Olympics this year since no
1:18:20
trades are permitted during the Olympic roster freeze, which we
1:18:23
will talk about later on the show.

1:19:36
person. We're going to get a chance this

And now, ladies and gentlemen, this man doesn't need an
1:20:40
ovation. I give him a lot of ovation
1:20:42
because this guy has been on our show quite a few times.
1:20:45
We love him. He is a Jacksonville,
1:20:48
Jacksonville Jaguar linebacker, and he was ranked 10th in
1:20:52
tackles this season. He's one of the best linebackers
1:20:56
in the NFL today. Ladies and gentlemen, we are
1:21:00
talking to Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyer.
1:21:04
Oh, Luiken, what is up my friend?
1:21:07
How are you? I'm good, how y'all been?
1:21:10
We're good, man. I mean, I got a chance to watch
1:21:12
good football this year. You were sensational, man.
1:21:16
You really were. Every single year, every time I
1:21:18
watch you play, I'm like this guy looks like he's 20 years old
1:21:22
and he continues to play at a top level.
1:21:25
And I've never seen a guy that wants to hit somebody.
1:21:28
Every time the quarterback hikes that ball.
1:21:30
It is is pretty amazing. And every year you're a league,
1:21:34
you're always on top of the league in tackles.
1:21:37
What does it take to be an elite tackler like you are in the NFL?
1:21:41
I say a lot of will, I'd say obviously got to get off blocks.
1:21:45
So technique that way, physicality and kind of just
1:21:48
strain in order to get the ball. A lot of downs aren't, you know,
1:21:51
designed for for they have a blocker for you when you're in
1:21:54
the middle like that. So really just able to diagnose
1:21:57
the play, use your hands or whatever you get off a block and
1:22:00
everybody finishing at the ball and then you know the the extra
1:22:03
strain and physicality and will bring the guy down.
1:22:07
That's the kind of the finish of the play.
1:22:08
So you're kind of getting a sweet spot as the game goes on,
1:22:11
but you just feel like you can do bring anybody down.
1:22:14
So hopefully hit that sweet spot kind of early in the game.
1:22:17
And then you feel like you, you know, of course, to be regular.
1:22:19
I like the sweet spot, but with my woman, you know, that's
1:22:23
that's my sweet spot. But you know, I know a little
1:22:25
bit about that. I know a little bit about
1:22:27
shaking and bacon, but that's a whole nother story.
1:22:29
Ladies and gentlemen, we're not here to talk about any of that.
1:22:32
We're here to talk some football with one of the best tacklers in
1:22:35
the NFL. So Foyer, obviously you have a
1:22:38
new coach and this guy has been fantastic offensively, sound
1:22:43
really developed. I believe a guy like Lawrence
1:22:47
who needed a little bit more time, he's had multiple coaches
1:22:51
over the last past year. Doug Peterson is a very well
1:22:54
known offensive coordinator. Didn't really work out with a
1:22:57
guy like Doug Peterson, but you bring in Cohen and he has been
1:23:00
sensational. In his first year, he took your
1:23:02
team all the way to the playoffs.
1:23:03
What was it like being coached by one of the more unique
1:23:06
offensive minds in the NFL? You know, it was good.
1:23:10
It was early in the year, you know where I think we we stuck
1:23:13
with that run game a little bit more.
1:23:16
So you see us kind of sustaining drives early in the game.
1:23:19
And I was just, you know, with a rescore to then I was happy we
1:23:23
were moving the ball this year. So they will come to the
1:23:24
sideline. I kind of understood quick like
1:23:27
eventually these are going to turn into touchdowns if they
1:23:29
weren't already touchdowns or three points, just the way they
1:23:32
were able to move the ball on the ground.
1:23:34
We're able to do that early in the year is going to open up the
1:23:36
passing game for us. So just the way we're moving the
1:23:40
ball, I was excited they come back to the sideline like either
1:23:43
they scored or didn't score. I was excited like we're not on
1:23:46
the field the whole game. Then obviously just keep giving
1:23:50
them the ball back. They're going to get a couple
1:23:51
first. They're going to be in scoring
1:23:53
position. So that's kind of how it
1:23:54
started. Then you saw, you know, from
1:23:56
that the the puzzle pieces or the chess match that he was
1:24:00
playing out there with all the pieces that he had and they saw
1:24:04
it all get aligned and we go on that run and it was really just
1:24:07
to dictate what they wanted to do out there.
1:24:09
Obviously some games we started out maybe a little slower, but
1:24:12
as soon as he got to to the fellows and sets that he wanted
1:24:16
build it through formations and stuff like it was, it was fun to
1:24:19
watch. And then Trevor obviously was
1:24:21
been the benefit of all that beneficiary to all that.
1:24:25
The way he was playing, the confidence that he gained to
1:24:27
kind of go out there, do his own stuff, make his own checks
1:24:30
really from times and kind of ball out there was cool to see.
1:24:35
So one of the big things with you guys was the run defense
1:24:37
this year, top five in the league and a lot of the teams
1:24:39
that made the playoffs this year and went far in the.
1:24:41
Playoffs. Were tough.
1:24:43
Oh, you were number one. People keep saying the Patriots
1:24:46
are #1 I guess they were lying to us, but.
1:24:48
Number one top, top one right. Yeah, so I, I when we first had
1:24:53
you on three years ago, there was a lot of emphasis on the on
1:24:55
the, on the passing defense, the spread offenses now.
1:24:57
And you kind of saw it switch back with the Eagles winning the
1:24:59
Super Bowl last year. And then you're seeing all.
1:25:00
These like powerful. Run games this year, like do you
1:25:03
think it's kind of transforming back to that maybe like maybe
1:25:05
spread or more exotic running type teams and we run defenses
1:25:08
like you guys like was that a big point in emphasis going into
1:25:11
the season that maybe stylistically?
1:25:14
Even with the Eagles game or even if you play like a team
1:25:16
like the Chiefs who were kind of you think they're known for
1:25:18
passing the ball, stopping to run is way to dictate the game.
1:25:22
That way you can like have split their playbook in half.
1:25:25
They feel like they can't get it to 2nd and short 2nd and medium
1:25:29
2nd and yeah, 6 and less. Their playbook shrinks a lot.
1:25:34
So they're stopping the run on early downs allows their pass
1:25:37
rushers to really wreak havoc. Or you know, if there's I'm
1:25:41
going to say scare. I mean, it looked like they were
1:25:43
very scared of our passwords the whole year.
1:25:44
We got so many hurries, but they ended up going quick game and
1:25:47
screens a lot of the third downs where you know, a lot of guys
1:25:50
get sacked. They didn't even want to hold
1:25:52
the ball. Or if you like stand up 0
1:25:53
pressure, look, they'll get rid of the ball or maybe bring in
1:25:56
the match pro to try to Chuck one up.
1:25:58
You stop the run getting ready to dictate what the offense does
1:26:01
on on the defense. So that was that was big for it.
1:26:05
We always had the pieces kind of just the details within it, you
1:26:07
know, and everybody talks about doing their job, doing their
1:26:10
111, but really just trusting how you fit in that that gap
1:26:15
piano skiing, you got to fit, you know, in the puzzle piece,
1:26:18
you got to fit in the right place.
1:26:20
But everybody doing that play in, play out, you know, big guys
1:26:23
have to do first down boots, screens and stuff, try to get us
1:26:27
off track instead of us playing on the legal goal.
1:26:30
We are talking to Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyer Luiken.
1:26:34
I, I love that Luiken. You know, I love it, man.
1:26:41
By the way, I, I, I ordered your jersey.
1:26:44
I, I, I bought a jersey recently.
1:26:47
Now, a lot of guys on this show make a lot of jokes.
1:26:50
I'm one of those jokester guys. I get jerseys just to make fun
1:26:54
of people. And there's a guy on your team
1:26:57
that was drafted. He was a Heisman Trophy winner.
1:27:00
He was knocked out early in the season, 10 games into the
1:27:03
season. I'm not a big fan of OK, I've,
1:27:06
I've met him at the Heisman dinner.
1:27:08
I met him at the Heisman dinner. I he's, he's got a unique
1:27:12
personality. There's no question that he
1:27:14
does. And he's very cocky.
1:27:16
He's very confident. There's a lot about him that I
1:27:19
might not know as far as the define perspective of who he is
1:27:25
as a person. You worked with Travis, AKA the
1:27:28
Gremlin Hunter. That's his nickname on this
1:27:31
show. There he is right there.
1:27:33
Just so you know, Mr. Gremlin himself.
1:27:36
Now, I don't know if Travis knows that I created that.
1:27:39
There it is. He's looking at it.
1:27:40
I gave him the nickname and it's been really all over social
1:27:43
media. If you look up Travis the
1:27:45
Gremlin Hunter, that's me. I'm the one who gave him the
1:27:48
nickname. And here's the thing, I think he
1:27:52
could be a good player in this league.
1:27:53
I don't think he should be a dual type of player.
1:27:56
I don't. He's either going to be a corner
1:27:58
or a wide receiver. Obviously, Cohen is going to
1:28:00
have to figure out. The organization is going to
1:28:02
have to figure out. I think he should be a corner.
1:28:05
A lot of people thought he should be a wide receiver.
1:28:07
Tell us a little bit about your connection with Travis the
1:28:10
Gremlin Hunter, and what type of player is he?
1:28:13
I see him on a lot of television commercials.
1:28:16
He's all over the place. He likes dancing and prancing
1:28:19
and doing all that other stuff. What type of person is he?
1:28:23
Yeah, I was actually for fortunate to see him when he was
1:28:26
still in high school when I was in Atlanta.
1:28:27
I think he's from that Georgia area.
1:28:29
During that over the year, a lot of people were training the same
1:28:32
gym up in northern Atlanta. So I I seen him as like a highly
1:28:36
touted recruit and they told him like he's always going to be
1:28:41
Next up. He's going to be really good.
1:28:42
So I saw him kind of younger. So when I see him now, obviously
1:28:46
as the as the player he is and there's the all the hype around
1:28:49
him and stuff, I still see him as that that kid in high school.
1:28:52
I mean, he was quiet. He don't really say much.
1:28:55
I think maybe, you know, you have this gremlin idea of him.
1:28:59
I feel like everybody has a kind of persona that they like put on
1:29:02
as a shell when you don't know them or when they're nervous,
1:29:05
you're like, you come up to me. I never talked to you before.
1:29:07
You might think I'm like stuck up just because I don't really
1:29:10
say much. You know, I heard people think I
1:29:12
was. I think I'm so smart as I just
1:29:14
don't really know you. So I don't really know what to,
1:29:16
I don't know how to approach you.
1:29:17
Like when you break down those walls, I'm way more comfortable
1:29:21
with a person and stuff like that.
1:29:22
I'm a jokester and all that stuff.
1:29:23
But if I don't like, I don't really have much to say to you.
1:29:26
So maybe you know, you seeing him for the first time, like
1:29:30
that's just how he is. That's what he's comfortable
1:29:33
showing out to people that he don't eat from places he's not
1:29:35
really comfortable because that's what he's had to be, to
1:29:37
be honest. Like all these cameras around
1:29:39
him as a kid, as a brother, yeah, high school and high
1:29:43
school into college through the Heisman candid.
1:29:45
Like all these cameras around him and they're expecting him to
1:29:48
be a certain type of way. Like all these commercials, like
1:29:51
they're expecting him to be this this athlete and everybody puts
1:29:54
these athletes up on pedestals. Like he's not allowed to be his
1:29:57
goofy kind of I wouldn't call him a nerd of source, but you
1:30:01
know, he's on twist and all that.
1:30:02
Like he's not allowed to be who he is when he's comfortable.
1:30:05
And I'm sure many people know him, you know, as that as that
1:30:08
person when he's comfortable. So I'm sure you get to know him
1:30:11
more. And as I got to know him more
1:30:13
and see him more, you know, when he first got there, like, yeah,
1:30:17
he was quiet and maybe people could have said he was, you
1:30:19
know, full of himself. I'm looking at him like now he
1:30:22
said, you know, you're not going to call himself nervous, but
1:30:24
everybody's going to be nervous to perform and live up to
1:30:26
expectations and hype. So I can't see right through
1:30:29
that. I'm not going to say he was
1:30:30
nervous though, but like he wants to do well for the team
1:30:33
and he wants to prove it to himself and all that stuff.
1:30:35
So a lot of it kind of just self talk just to make sure that, you
1:30:38
know, he knows he's the player that he always wanted to be.
1:30:42
And obviously as a rookie, we have a lot of things that you
1:30:45
realize you don't know or realize you have to learn and
1:30:48
grow through. And obviously he was doing that
1:30:51
and, you know, and, and learning at 2 positions at once, like
1:30:54
it's a lot on you. And he got hurt too.
1:30:57
So that's something that he had never really been a part of,
1:30:59
like a big injury. So you know, you stick around
1:31:03
them and you get close with most walls come down.
1:31:05
So I'm kind of seeing that right now when I go into the facility
1:31:08
and see them, they're training and stuff, like we're talking a
1:31:10
lot more. So I feel like you're going to
1:31:14
see him become more of himself as these years go on and as he
1:31:17
really becomes a player he must become.
1:31:19
Now, Travis Etienne is a guy that I really liked.
1:31:22
I've watched him grow as a player for Clemson and a lot of
1:31:27
people thought he wasn't going to be a part of this roster.
1:31:30
Early in OTAs, they were two other running backs on your
1:31:34
roster. Some people thought that Travis
1:31:36
Etienne was really the number 2 and then kind of fell in a lot
1:31:40
of people's eyes and then all of a sudden he had a pretty good
1:31:44
OTA. He looked good in a preseason
1:31:46
and eventually won the job back. And he again, a guy that I
1:31:50
didn't draft this year in fantasy.
1:31:52
And there's a reason why I draft him every single year because I
1:31:55
love the guy. And then he doesn't, you know,
1:31:58
he doesn't fit in expectations the way I think he should in
1:32:02
fantasy sports. So I didn't draft him this year
1:32:05
and I made a mistake because he was one of the more elusive
1:32:08
running backs in the NFL. What do you think he changed
1:32:11
this year as far as health wise and obviously on a football
1:32:15
field that's made him the elite running back that he became
1:32:18
again this year? Yes, that's my guy.
1:32:20
That's one of my best friends on the team, Travis.
1:32:22
So obviously started when we have to go against each other
1:32:26
and training camps and stuff. But I just know I just saw the
1:32:29
talent that he had and I called them my first, got their
1:32:33
Marshall fault because, you know, I thought similarities and
1:32:37
he can catch up the backfield. He's good up with the grind.
1:32:40
But then like he's kind of saying like his body don't
1:32:43
really look like an NFL running back, but he's so exposed to the
1:32:47
bass and stuff. But he just didn't necessarily
1:32:49
like if you look at him kind of looks a little not NFL running
1:32:52
back, but you know, he got all the traits.
1:32:54
So I kind of after our bad year, everybody kind of wanted to be
1:32:58
better after that, whatever 4 and 13 a year.
1:33:02
And I told them what the business of the game was.
1:33:04
I said, you know, a lot of people are talking bad about you
1:33:06
and really us, everybody on the team right now, we're going to
1:33:09
have new GM, new coaches and stuff that come in and it's
1:33:11
going to be the contract year essentially.
1:33:13
So you know, you're going to have to give you a gift, you an
1:33:17
opportunity to go out there and you're going to start from
1:33:19
square zero. People are going to come in and
1:33:22
have their ideas of and maybe they might bring somebody else
1:33:26
in that they like, you know, that that's going to be their
1:33:29
guy, their pick, their free agency, whatever.
1:33:31
But at the end of the day, like once you get an opportunity, you
1:33:34
got to re prove it to because now you're not dealing with
1:33:38
people who drafted you. You got to come in and re prove
1:33:40
it. When you belong on the field,
1:33:42
then you're going to come in and re prove that you deserve some
1:33:45
fucking money. So I drafted him to my lift OTA
1:33:48
lift team. And you know, I just saw him get
1:33:51
more and more serious about everything, what time he came in
1:33:55
the morning, what time like you didn't miss OTA lifting this the
1:33:59
way he's preparing for the game. We were talking about running
1:34:01
styles, like where to hit the hole when it cut back, like in
1:34:04
this mid zone scheme. I'm like, I'm seeing this back.
1:34:06
You should watch this back. Does it well.
1:34:09
And I was implementing that. You know, I'm able to challenge
1:34:11
him. Like let's say he gets tackled
1:34:12
by a fucking shoot, like while the fuckers pick up his feet.
1:34:16
Like that's my thoughts. Like I wanted him to get
1:34:18
everything that he deserves. So I'm not going to say I'm he's
1:34:20
important, but I just know that he had definitely had a mindset
1:34:23
changed and then him, you know, talking to me, always
1:34:27
challenging me, telling me he was pissed at me earlier in the
1:34:30
year. I had a little couple little
1:34:32
things went wrong with me that was kind of affecting my play.
1:34:35
But he I'm disappointed you missed that tackle and this and
1:34:38
that. I'm like, shit, you right, like
1:34:39
stop feeling sorry for myself. Let's get better.
1:34:42
And then, you know, we we played well this year.
1:34:43
And then obviously he's going to get whatever he deserves.
1:34:45
But Jennifer, where he was or what the perception was of him
1:34:50
two years ago to now like complete 180, but he did what
1:34:54
you're supposed to do in the back before.
1:34:56
So to talk about something like the guys in the front 7,
1:34:58
obviously Josh Allen got got got his money, one of the most
1:35:02
underrated pass rushers, Trayvon Walker, I think made an impact
1:35:05
kind of trying to prove himself at the end of his rookie
1:35:07
contract after being the number one pick.
1:35:09
And then Devin Lloyd was probably the best one on the
1:35:10
team on second team All Pro. So talk about some of the
1:35:13
improvements that those guys made this year.
1:35:15
Yeah, everybody kind of, you know, we all had a bad year the
1:35:17
year before and really people there we want to.
1:35:20
We started off maybe 4:00 and 1:00.
1:35:22
We won a skid where we won like 3 or 4.
1:35:24
We lost 3 or 4 or something like that.
1:35:27
Yeah, we had to because we won the rest after that.
1:35:35
Yeah. I mean, we had a lot of doubt or
1:35:37
is, you know, obviously Devin started off hot.
1:35:39
So Devin, would, you know, he was really trusting the scheme
1:35:43
and he was going through things kind of similar to Travis to
1:35:46
where, you know, new guys came in, new coaches happy to prove
1:35:49
himself contract year, just stay the course.
1:35:52
And he, you know, he's very religious and all the blessings
1:35:55
came to him that he'd been praying for and working for.
1:35:58
So I was very proud to see that. But he really just, you know,
1:36:01
didn't go outside of himself, stuck within the game plan and
1:36:04
he really just executed and dominated his his role.
1:36:07
And then obviously he was able to make plays off of that and
1:36:09
just trust himself and his athleticism and he's the best in
1:36:12
the league. So that was just so cool to see.
1:36:15
He got guys like Josh and Trayvon.
1:36:17
We really just, you know, Trayvon kind of a similar
1:36:20
situation like he's trying to go out there and get what he
1:36:22
deserves. He went through a little injury
1:36:24
with his race and stuff was kind of sidelined him, but his
1:36:27
gameplay did not switch up at all.
1:36:29
Like the way that he played the game.
1:36:31
So physically can really help us.
1:36:33
And they didn't get as many steps and pressures that they
1:36:35
got. Like what I was saying where you
1:36:37
have these two guys on the edge where they're scared to get the
1:36:39
3rd and loss because of our of our pass rushing, our
1:36:42
athleticism. They're just throwing screens
1:36:43
and quick games screen and boots like trying to get that with
1:36:47
their trying to get that facet of our defense out of the way
1:36:51
because you can't like they're sealing the edge on boots.
1:36:53
Like that's the only way they can really push the ball down
1:36:55
the field on this kind of get match protection and get the
1:36:57
pass rushers like double block, double blocked and stuff.
1:37:00
So he definitely like it's a game record.
1:37:04
I want the stats to match it for both of them, Josh and Trayvon.
1:37:08
But what they were doing for our team, you know, you can't really
1:37:10
put put words to it. And then similarly, like with
1:37:14
the guy inside Devon Hamilton, you know, he's so important to
1:37:17
our running game too. Like when he's in there all the
1:37:19
way that he was playing. So everybody just played well,
1:37:22
but they're just owning their roles and then playing for each
1:37:24
other. So it's cool to see.
1:37:26
We are talking to Jacksonville Jaguars elite linebacker Foyer
1:37:29
Luiken. You know Foyer, there's a guy on
1:37:32
your team, Brian Thomas junior. I I think this guy as is as
1:37:37
elite of a wide receiver in the NFLII really do believe this guy
1:37:42
could be a top three wide receiver in an all of football
1:37:46
this year. I don't know what happened.
1:37:47
I don't know if he was hurt, he was unhealthy, but he wasn't the
1:37:51
same player he was in his freshman year.
1:37:53
He wasn't and I think this guy is so explosive.
1:37:57
He has a tremendous amount of ability.
1:37:59
He's so long. I watched him in the Pro Bowl.
1:38:01
I know it's flag football, but the one hand catches the, the
1:38:05
unbelievable ability technique wise on using his body and his
1:38:09
strength to getting that ball. It it's it's absolutely amazing
1:38:13
there. There might be 3 wide receivers
1:38:15
in the league that has the speed, the length and the
1:38:19
ability to do this to the things that he does on a football
1:38:23
field. What type of player is Brian
1:38:25
Thomas Junior and do you think this year was because of injury
1:38:30
or something that was going on or was affecting him on not
1:38:34
having the season that he had in his first year?
1:38:36
Yeah, I'm not, I'm not really in his head or nothing like that.
1:38:39
So I can't really say where he was like mentally and stuff, but
1:38:42
we all go through injuries or things that nagging us
1:38:45
throughout the year. Now I'm excited to see what he
1:38:47
comes back and does the next year, but obviously like coming
1:38:50
from his rookie year to to 2nd year, a lot of things like you
1:38:54
just learn what you need to work on.
1:38:55
Like you think people sometimes when you have success early,
1:38:58
sometimes people see you and they're going to force you to
1:39:00
maybe prove what you what you, which we haven't shown yet or
1:39:03
going to keep putting you in positions where you're not
1:39:05
excelling. Like they're going to like he
1:39:07
was a very good, let's say deep ball because we're going to
1:39:10
definitely try to take away that deep ball.
1:39:12
They're going to fight him and do something else on the
1:39:13
football field and see if you can excel it.
1:39:15
That as well. Whatever happened on early on, I
1:39:17
think as the year went and it's a new scheme.
1:39:19
So he has to understand how to run those routes and timing is
1:39:21
always important and stuff. As the year went on, he he
1:39:24
started playing better. So I wasn't really concerned
1:39:26
with it. What they call it like a
1:39:27
sophomore slump, whatever happened early in the year, like
1:39:30
he just put it, put it as something to to look at and it
1:39:33
motivates you to grow from or from because you know, now he
1:39:36
has a role in the offense to where you have to stop so many
1:39:40
people that when he does get his opportunities, they're going to
1:39:42
be there for him. He's going to get his one on
1:39:44
ones or whatever design plays like there.
1:39:46
And it's going to be sometimes like we need him to go make a
1:39:49
play. But when those when those
1:39:51
opportunities come, I know going into this third year, you know,
1:39:54
fixing up the stuff that he was kind of battling through the 2nd
1:39:57
year, you know, with a fresh, you know, new slate, fresh feet,
1:40:02
you know, I got a lot of. Everybody that listens to the
1:40:08
show knows I just love him. I I love him.
1:40:11
I think he's that great of a player.
1:40:12
I think I watched him in LSU. I said this guy is going to be a
1:40:15
beast. I think he's the best wide
1:40:17
receiver in this class. When we were talking about a
1:40:21
Doonese and all those other guys, everybody forgot about
1:40:24
this guy. He, there were three other guys
1:40:25
in front of him and they were like, well, he's good and I
1:40:29
think he's more than good. This guy is going to be
1:40:30
explosive. His freshman year was as good as
1:40:33
anybody's. And I said he's better than a
1:40:35
dunes and he's better than this guy.
1:40:37
He's better than that guy. And I still think he's an elite
1:40:39
player and he's going to get a chance.
1:40:40
But you guys made it to the playoffs and it was an amazing
1:40:44
season and you were matched up against the Buffalo Bills.
1:40:47
And I always watch a foyer because I, I, I'm a big fan of
1:40:51
yours because you've been on our show.
1:40:53
So I, I'm always rooting you on. I want you to do so well.
1:40:57
And I watch Josh Allen play and this guy has a heart that I've
1:41:03
never seen a player have. I mean, this guy will go out
1:41:06
there, put his body on the line for his teammates, put his heart
1:41:10
on the line when it comes to losing games and and going up
1:41:14
there talking to the media and and then breaking down and
1:41:16
crying. I think he's a, he's a great
1:41:18
person to just fall in love with as a personality.
1:41:21
But when he's on a football field, he's almost impossible to
1:41:24
tackle. He's huge.
1:41:26
And I, I, I watched you in the playoff game, you were all over
1:41:30
the place and you were hating him.
1:41:32
And this guy was just bouncing off of everybody, was like a
1:41:35
ping pong ball and you were the racket.
1:41:38
What type of player is Josh Allen?
1:41:39
Why is he so hard to tackle? Yeah, he's a he's a big kind of
1:41:43
look at a tight end body. I say you got a tight end body,
1:41:46
but he still runs fast. And then obviously with the the
1:41:49
way the quarterbacks protected, you got you can't approach him
1:41:52
like a damn tight end. So a lot of times he's pumped
1:41:55
faking and stuff and he's approaching Lions permits,
1:41:57
pumped faking, looking downfield.
1:41:58
And you know, you can't, you know, tackle in the normal way,
1:42:01
which you're told to tackle in the normal way, but it's, you
1:42:04
know, the balls in your face when he had the ball like this.
1:42:06
Yeah, it kind of makes a look when you're distracted,
1:42:08
interacted by the ball. And then obviously he can run
1:42:10
through arm tackles, which most quarterbacks don't, I'd say
1:42:13
because they're half sliding. He's not sliding at all.
1:42:15
He's going to run through all that.
1:42:16
And then yeah, he understands when you're an M when he can see
1:42:19
the MP, he can kind of make a a drop back look like a draw just
1:42:23
because he decides all he's kind of towards the red zone is my
1:42:26
time shines going to run through arm tackles, get those 6-7 yards
1:42:29
that way, which kind of break it open.
1:42:31
Like I feel like in our game, just a couple of boots or
1:42:34
keepers he kept, but it was most of them them quarterback sneaks
1:42:36
towards the end of the game, which he runs it differently
1:42:39
that they call it touch push, not really touch push.
1:42:41
They did run that sneak with the tight end kind of pushing them
1:42:43
from behind, but they ran it differently than Philly were
1:42:46
like feeling trying to get low and he just stands up And then
1:42:49
because you can't bring them down, you know, one-on-one
1:42:52
trying to step stand. Then everybody gets behind him.
1:42:55
He slipped in the air and they just keep pushing them forward.
1:42:57
So but they had going there with definitely a new that was an
1:43:01
interesting little wrinkle to the twist push that's really
1:43:03
sneak, but he just knows his body gonna stay up and he go
1:43:07
push him for like it's it was crazy who cops to him.
1:43:11
I got a question for you, who do you think would win in a Twister
1:43:13
contest, you or him? What's Twister?
1:43:18
You never played Twister. Yeah.
1:43:19
You spin and there's like colors and you like you put your body
1:43:22
on. A lot.
1:43:23
Why am I playing Twister with him?
1:43:26
What are we doing? He's married.
1:43:34
He has he has a kid on the way. That's.
1:43:44
Pretty funny actually. Why am I playing Twister with
1:43:46
him? I'll just shift to.
1:43:50
Another quarterback. That you used to play with in
1:43:52
Matt Ryan, who actually got a front office position with the
1:43:54
Atlanta Falcons recently, they actually invented a new football
1:43:57
operations position just especially for him.
1:43:59
I wonder why? So was there any inklings when
1:44:02
you when you knew him, when he was when he was with Atlanta
1:44:04
that you would think he would get a head coach, get a
1:44:07
executive position like this? And, like, what do you think is
1:44:09
the mindset for the Atlanta Falcons moving forward with the
1:44:12
new head coach and Kevin Stefanski and kind of a shift in
1:44:14
change that they're making? I think the fans, I think the
1:44:18
run game that he had, I don't really know much about him.
1:44:21
I know he went to Penn or something like that.
1:44:23
Like I met him at the Ivy League dinner.
1:44:25
I think we were saying that the like the run game that he likes
1:44:30
are Atlanta's line and Dijon are very well suited for that.
1:44:34
Yeah, I think Atlanta, I mean, just being there, they always,
1:44:37
they want to get more physical up there.
1:44:39
That's the way to establish the run game and nominate the NFC
1:44:42
South. You could be the most physical
1:44:43
team in the NFC South controlled time of possession.
1:44:46
You probably go and win, host those games.
1:44:48
That that vision just dating back from when I was there.
1:44:51
I think the Saints at the time was winning it.
1:44:53
And then obviously when Brady came, obviously he was winning
1:44:55
it. But those are teams that did
1:44:57
have a run game while while they were on top.
1:45:00
So I think Matt Ryan, that picture him, I don't think he's
1:45:04
going to be a coach per SE, but I could definitely see him being
1:45:07
a personnel handlers like this team builder in Atlanta just
1:45:12
because you know, great leader and then a great evaluator of
1:45:18
men as a person and stuff. So obviously you got to look at
1:45:22
the talent, but in order to build a team, you got to have
1:45:24
the right people in the building.
1:45:25
So I think them hiring him is to do that, to evaluate the coaches
1:45:31
that are coming evaluate. I think he just hired the GM,
1:45:33
actually. He just seen so many people in
1:45:35
the NFL. You know what teams look like
1:45:37
when they're good and runs the teams when they're good.
1:45:41
Sure. Their trust is opinion on who.
1:45:43
They have to feel that. For you, you're one of the best
1:45:45
tacklers in the league, and we said that over and over and over
1:45:48
again. So far in this interview.
1:45:50
You are as good as anybody in the NFL.
1:45:52
And we talked about technique. So everybody wants to know, and
1:45:56
I'm sure a lot of football fans out there want to know, you
1:46:00
faced all the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
1:46:03
Who is the hardest to takedown 1 and who is the best quarterback
1:46:07
so far in your career in the NFL you played against?
1:46:10
Who's the hardest to take down? Yes, Lamar Jackson, probably
1:46:14
going to be the hardest to take down if you can touch him.
1:46:16
I like the quarterbacks you try like that's Herbie tried to run
1:46:19
me over this year. I don't know what he was doing
1:46:20
like that's a big Jack before. I'm just going to talk about
1:46:23
Josh Allen. If he can run away from put
1:46:25
similar like if he tries to lower his shoulder on him, I'm
1:46:28
not really too concerned about that.
1:46:30
But Lamar just elusive, especially when he decides that
1:46:33
he's, you know, going to run so fast and then he's elusive like
1:46:36
that. That's good.
1:46:38
Then my home, man. I don't know how big he is.
1:46:40
Whatever. He probably 30 lbs more than
1:46:42
what the sky report said. That's a big boy right there.
1:46:46
He's a hell of a competitor too. Like he'll lower his shoulder on
1:46:48
you last second. He'll run through some stuff.
1:46:51
He'll stay up and kind of getting up there like
1:46:53
Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger's still athletic.
1:46:56
Like he's staying up through hits and making throws and
1:46:58
stuff. Like he's a big guy, bigger than
1:47:01
people think. So yeah, he's pretty hard to
1:47:05
take down, actually. Trevor Lawrence was pretty hard
1:47:08
to take down for Chris Jones when you guys won that thriller
1:47:10
on Monday nights. Oh yeah, thank God.
1:47:13
Well, who? But who's the best quarterback
1:47:15
in the NFL? Who do you think is the?
1:47:17
Mahomes are the best. You think Mahomes?
1:47:20
A hell of a competitor to like the way he put like he plays to
1:47:23
win the game. Obviously they didn't have their
1:47:25
best year this year, but what he's able to do back there and
1:47:29
willing his team to to wins and stuff.
1:47:32
I don't think he turned. I don't I didn't watch him that
1:47:34
much. I don't think he turned the ball
1:47:35
up over at like he's have crazy turnovers though, just doing
1:47:39
crazy stuff a little bit too much.
1:47:40
Maybe he did a little less this year knowing that his team
1:47:44
probably needed the ball a lot more this year.
1:47:47
I don't know the stats on it, but just seemed like he was
1:47:49
taking care of the ball a little bit more.
1:47:51
Well, really well, Stafford still good.
1:47:53
This, this he's that's a good ass.
1:47:55
MVP. MVP.
1:47:57
He's the best quarterback. They lost three times to the
1:48:00
Seahawks, but he's the best quarterback.
1:48:02
So he so Foyer has Matthew Stafford winning the MVP this
1:48:06
year. Very interesting.
1:48:08
Very, very. Interesting.
1:48:09
I'd say that I said he's the best quarterback.
1:48:13
Usually the best quarterback wins the MVP.
1:48:15
Come on, Foyer. Foyer's.
1:48:17
Petition. They're trying to give it the
1:48:19
Drake man of the wiki didn't. First of all, I don't know if
1:48:25
you know this. The boy went 10 for 21.
1:48:28
Yeah, but. But here is the facts foyer.
1:48:32
I'm going to tell you this. Do you know that Drake May had
1:48:35
the 5th easiest schedule in NFL history?
1:48:38
Did you know that? I'm saying I'm not saying who
1:48:42
deserves and doesn't deserve MVPI, just man Stafford went
1:48:45
crazy. Yeah, I did.
1:48:47
I love Matthew Stafford. I always did.
1:48:49
And he's the MVP in my eyes. Go ahead, Speedy.
1:48:52
No, I was saying for you, I think it's petitioning for the
1:48:54
MVP to not become a quarterback award all the time.
1:48:57
You know what? Yeah, take quarterbacks less,
1:49:01
please. Hey, listen, if you could throw,
1:49:05
maybe you could be the quarterback, you could be a
1:49:07
dull. Fan Wait, no, no, it's hard.
1:49:09
That's that's too hard. But all right, so you got San
1:49:14
Francisco Super Bowl 60, Drake May and the Patriots versus the
1:49:20
one and only Sam Darnold. Yes, Jet fans, Sam Darnold in
1:49:25
the Seahawks. Who do you got and why?
1:49:28
I got a lot of friends on the OH, actually on both teams.
1:49:32
I just never rooted for a Boston team to do anything since Rondo
1:49:35
left. Even though I got a lot of good
1:49:37
friends with the Patriots. I hope they all do very well,
1:49:39
but I can't. I'm not rooting for any team
1:49:41
just because I can't really root for the Patriots.
1:49:44
Don't like the Boston fans, but all the groups brought them like
1:49:47
they win. I'm so happy for them.
1:49:48
I love. Him more every you see this.
1:49:51
This is why I love this guy. I love it.
1:49:53
He can't stand the Boston fans. I can't stand the Boston fans.
1:49:57
Yeah, Jeff, you hear it? I can't stand the Boston fans.
1:50:01
No, he's a Rebirth chess fan now.
1:50:03
They're nasty. They don't know how to respect
1:50:05
people. And I like that you're a Rondo
1:50:07
fan because I've always loved Rondo.
1:50:10
I couldn't stand him on the Celtics, but I've always liked
1:50:13
Rajon Rondo so. And.
1:50:16
And he was a great first of all, he can rebound, he could score,
1:50:20
he can assist. He was a great defender.
1:50:23
I, I think people, Rajon doesn't get enough credit because he
1:50:27
played with, I don't know, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen,
1:50:31
nobody, nobody gives this. Girl's favorite coach Doc
1:50:33
Rivers. Can't stand Doc, can't stand
1:50:35
him. Yeah, they won a championship
1:50:37
with Doc Rivers. Well, first, hold on, hold on,
1:50:40
hold on, hold on. Who's calling the place?
1:50:43
Tom Thibodeau. Let let's let's not hide behind
1:50:46
the truth here. We all know Doc doesn't know how
1:50:49
to call any place. I'm not hurting.
1:50:52
I'm not hurting anybody. Somebody's feelings.
1:50:54
Doc Rivers is screwing up Milwaukee right now, and that's
1:50:57
why Giannis wants out. I'm just helping you here, man.
1:51:00
I know you're a basketball fan. We could go on and on and on
1:51:03
about basketball, but we're not. We're talking a little football.
1:51:06
So. So who you got?
1:51:07
You got Seattle. If I was, if I was to bet
1:51:11
somebody else's money, got bet Seattle.
1:51:13
But I'm kind of pulling for the Patriots to do well.
1:51:17
I know you, I know you have two, definitely two former teammates
1:51:19
with the Patriots, with Muma and Chase on any on Seattle.
1:51:24
No, I have former teammates on Seattle.
1:51:27
I don't really know. Everybody's at.
1:51:29
I trained with the guy. They're one of their backup
1:51:31
safeties. Maybe he's playing more Ty
1:51:33
Okada. OK, so I play.
1:51:35
I've trained with him for the past five years, I feel like.
1:51:37
And then Jalen Hawkins I played with in Atlanta, Easter safety
1:51:41
for Patriots. They got the Ernest Johnson up
1:51:47
there too. He was a backer running back for
1:51:49
us here. More person up there.
1:51:56
They got a lot of, they got some, they got some guys that
1:51:58
play with. So I'm rooting for.
1:52:00
I'm hoping they do well, but. For Yeah, I got a question I got
1:52:03
to ask you. I got to ask you a question.
1:52:04
Has anybody told you that you look like havoc for Mob Deep?
1:52:09
Nah, ain't nobody. I never heard of that.
1:52:14
Do me a favor, when you get a chance, when you get off with
1:52:16
me, go look at Havoc from Mobb Deep.
1:52:19
You look. Exactly.
1:52:20
Like him, you're identical. Exactly.
1:52:23
Yeah, because I've, I've done some work.
1:52:25
I, I'm a, I'm a DJ. So I've been around them.
1:52:28
I've been around Mobb Deep a couple of times.
1:52:30
Prodigy may rest in peace. I I've, I've known the Mobb Deep
1:52:35
for a long time. There he is.
1:52:37
There he is, right there. Come on man, that's him.
1:52:41
Low key, huh? Nick was like Roquan Smith,
1:52:43
right? All that.
1:52:48
I like Roquan. He actually, he lost a little
1:52:50
bit more weight, but I mean. Maybe a little bit, He pressed
1:52:54
he he young face. For sure.
1:52:57
Come on, you never heard of Shukwans?
1:52:58
Come on, man. You know the track.
1:53:01
But man, what are you? What are you going to be doing
1:53:03
in the offseason? You're going to hang out with
1:53:05
the fam, go, you know, go, you know, go to a nice Hawaiian, you
1:53:09
know, place where, where you going?
1:53:11
I go everywhere, I bounce around.
1:53:13
I've I've been to New York, went down to Orlando last weekend,
1:53:17
saw some Disney stuff. I see my I'm still going to see
1:53:21
my family soon for a little while, my mom and dad and
1:53:24
brother running some errands in Saint Louis and yeah, kind of
1:53:29
bounce around between here and are there in Florida for the
1:53:33
offseason. I hate Florida.
1:53:35
Did you know it's going to it's going to be snowing in Florida,
1:53:38
in Orlando? Did you know that it's going to
1:53:39
be snowing in Florida? Yeah.
1:53:42
That's crazy. Yeah, I'm missing it.
1:53:45
Already snowed in Saint Louis? I like Saint Louis by the way, I
1:53:48
love, I love all that like the steaks and the ribs that they
1:53:52
have over there there. It is so good over there and I
1:53:55
love BBQ. So Dallas is a good place to
1:53:58
have BBQ. Saint Louis is another good
1:54:00
place. Georgia is also a nice good
1:54:02
place to get some BBQ. So I like it.
1:54:05
I really do. And as a you know, I traveled
1:54:07
around the the country, so I absolutely enjoy it.
1:54:10
But anyways, man, we love you man.
1:54:12
And I, I'm rooting for you. I always root for you and I, I
1:54:15
think you're a great guy. I think everything that you do
1:54:17
for not only for the NFL, for some of the kids and, and, and
1:54:21
really the, the way you developed into the player that
1:54:24
you become is it's pretty amazing.
1:54:26
And I'd love to get you on before the season starts so we
1:54:28
can talk about the season and see where you see the Jaguars in
1:54:32
going into two thousand 2627. So congratulations on a great,
1:54:37
successful season. And we'll have Jabba on next
1:54:40
time because Jabba's flying to New York because he's working
1:54:43
with a bar stool. He's been busy.
1:54:46
He's he's a very busy man, but he'll be on next time.
1:54:49
But we love you. Keep up the good work and we'll
1:54:51
talk to you soon. Appreciate y'all have a good
1:54:53
rest of your night. Yeah, you too, my friend Foye.
1:54:56
A fantastic personality, one of the best.
1:54:59
One of my favorite guys on the show.
1:55:01
Always comes on the show and always gives us good takes.
1:55:05
Very clear with his words. Doesn't really beat around the
1:55:09
Bush. He'll tell you how it is.
1:55:11
He doesn't hold back anything. And and like I said,
1:55:14
personality, that's why this guy is one of the best tacklers in
1:55:19
his league. This is why everybody, I you ask
1:55:22
anybody in the NFL, it will give you your top ten sack guys,
1:55:27
tackle guys. Foyer is always amongst the
1:55:30
league's favorites. So, and I love him and I've
1:55:33
been, you know, we've been interviewing him when he went
1:55:36
when he came from Atlanta and he went to the Jacksonville
1:55:39
Jaguars. And I remember it was the first
1:55:41
year he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars when we
1:55:43
interviewed him and I said, and he was the best tackler in the
1:55:46
league. And I said, what is it like
1:55:47
being the best tackler in the league?
1:55:49
He says, am I? I didn't even know that it.
1:55:53
Was three. It was three months after that
1:55:54
amazing playoff comeback they had against the Chargers.
1:55:57
Oh man, he, I, you can tell he doesn't care.
1:55:59
He doesn't care about numbers or statistics.
1:56:01
He just cares about winning. And I think with, with a leader
1:56:05
like that, he's one of the assistant captains of the team.
1:56:08
They're going to have a chance to win.
1:56:09
He's still fairly young. I think he's 2728 years old.
1:56:12
I, I think he could play another two or three good years at the
1:56:15
top level that he is. And he's just a fun outgoing
1:56:19
person. And, and you want to know
1:56:20
something everybody had one of my friends is texting me.
1:56:23
He's like, what did you take? So I, I took like this like
1:56:26
anxiety pill, like stress pill today.
1:56:29
And she says, Oh, it doesn't make you drowsy, doesn't make
1:56:32
you like dizzy or something. I'm going to tell you this right
1:56:34
now. I don't know what I took, but
1:56:36
throughout the show I've been trying to keep my eyes, you
1:56:39
know, like on target and be able to ask.
1:56:43
I was telling, I was telling scoops during the break when we
1:56:45
went to the sportsman. I said, man, I, you know, I
1:56:49
didn't think I was going to feel this tired, this drowsy, this,
1:56:52
you know, this terrible. I said, I'm going to get through
1:56:54
this. I'm going to fight through this.
1:56:56
But after the show, I'm going to be like, you know, one of those
1:56:59
guys. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
1:57:02
we call this Speedy Stat of the Week.
1:57:06
The Speedy, speedy, well, you may run like me, but you hit
1:57:11
like out of the way. Breaking news, I'm putting you
1:57:15
on a leash now. Well, the Patriots pass rush and
1:57:18
interior rush did a very good job of putting the Broncos
1:57:21
offensive line on a leash last week because that's where this
1:57:24
that comes from. It comes from a 35.1% pressure
1:57:27
rate they had against a Broncos offensive line.
1:57:29
That the 4th best idol fish you've mentioned.
1:57:31
The statue and offensive line impact rate in the league this
1:57:34
year held in the 63 rushing yards and got a 35% press rate
1:57:38
against that. Six of them came from Christian
1:57:39
Barmer, 4 from Milton Williams and Christian Barmer is one of
1:57:42
six players and only three defensive lineman with 50
1:57:45
pressures, 10 quick pressures and 10 plus pressures against
1:57:48
double teams this season. So that's how well he played
1:57:51
against an offensive line to all process here with bowls and
1:57:53
Quinn Miners. Very interesting, Speedy.
1:57:58
Always a breath of fresh air when you give us your Speedies
1:58:03
stat of the week. You know, you throw me off,
1:58:05
Speedy. Like, how do you how do you
1:58:08
choose what your favorite stat of the week is?
1:58:10
Like what? Are you?
1:58:11
Well, we're theming with the Patriots for our next segment.
1:58:14
So I figured I'm not going to, I'm not going to praise the
1:58:16
offense because they didn't do much.
1:58:17
So praise the defense. Oh, there you go.
1:58:19
Method to the madness, Errol. There's always a method here.
1:58:22
It's, it's definitely madness. I don't know about method.
1:58:25
That's true. There's a lot of madness when it
1:58:27
comes to speedy people. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
1:58:30
we call this This is the Remix. Another one.
1:58:36
Remix. This is the remix.
1:58:41
All right, guys, welcome back to This is the Remix.
1:58:46
You hear the original song right now.
1:58:49
We're going to give an original take that Errol gave a little
1:58:52
while back. Bring the music down just a tad
1:58:57
over here. So here it is, Speedy.
1:59:00
I'm going to bring this down. You're going to pop up the
1:59:03
original take that Errol had. When it's done, we're going to
1:59:06
hit the drop one more time and then we're going to put the
1:59:09
remix beat on. And Errol, you can either agree
1:59:12
with what you said, take back what you said, or go somewhere
1:59:16
half in between. Here's your shot.
1:59:19
On This is the Remix love about Drake May thinking that he's
1:59:27
going to be a top three quarterback in the league.
1:59:30
Mikey C will be dancing around in this studio.
1:59:34
If he's right, he said three years, Drake May will be a top
1:59:37
three quarterback in this league.
1:59:39
He's on drugs. I think Drake could be really
1:59:42
good, but top three quarterback, now he's sniffing something.
1:59:45
And whatever powder he's sniffing from Mexico or
1:59:48
Amsterdam. Share some with me, Mikey,
1:59:51
because you have no idea what you're walking into.
1:59:55
And I want to ask Mikey see when we do our fantasy draft if he's
1:59:58
actually going to dig into his pants and draft Drake May when
2:00:02
it comes to his quarterback play.
2:00:04
I guarantee you he won't, because nobody's stupid enough
2:00:08
to believe it. Except.
2:00:09
Mike And if Mikey sees right, he's going to be like, I'm not
2:00:12
give his head right. As I always say, eat shit.
2:00:16
Mike, I'm not. Doing it remix.
2:00:21
This is the remix. Errol.
2:00:29
Oh man. Well, just so everybody knows,
2:00:35
Mikey did draft Drake May in one of his leagues.
2:00:38
So I was wrong about that. I did not think Drake May this
2:00:44
year. Well, obviously the schedule
2:00:45
bowled well for them in the Patriots, but you play who's
2:00:48
ever, you know, whoever you matched up against, Drake May
2:00:51
was a top three quarterback in the league.
2:00:53
So I was wrong about that. I was shocked that Drake May had
2:00:56
the season that he had. And if you look at his numbers,
2:00:59
they were very impressive. 4394 yards.
2:01:02
He had 31 touchdowns to only 8 interceptions.
2:01:05
So he looked good in the regular season.
2:01:07
But I said during the season that I want to see him against
2:01:11
top and talent and when they get into the playoffs, can he
2:01:15
compete against the top ten top and talent in the AFC or in the
2:01:19
NFC? If they go, I didn't think they
2:01:21
were going to the Super Bowl. And I'll say this, I was wrong
2:01:25
about Drake maybe in the top five quarterback at any point in
2:01:29
his career, especially the way he has been this year.
2:01:32
I do not believe he's a top five quarterback amongst the league's
2:01:36
best only this year. We'll have to see if he does it
2:01:39
back-to-back years. But here's the thing, what I've
2:01:42
seen in the playoffs tells me he's not an elite quarterback.
2:01:47
He's not a top five quarterback. Is he a top ten quarterback?
2:01:50
Absolutely deserves a lot of credit and his development.
2:01:53
It's only his second year. He's only going to get better
2:01:55
under Mike Raybould. This is his first year under
2:01:57
Mike Raybould. It was very impressive, but to
2:02:00
say that he's a top five quarterback, besides the great
2:02:03
year he had, I have to see it multiple years before I'm going
2:02:07
to go in and correct myself. I'll take back what I said.
2:02:10
I'll eat my words that in his second year, he wasn't he, he
2:02:14
wasn't going to be a top three quarterback.
2:02:16
I was wrong about that. But I have said it over and over
2:02:19
and over again. You got to prove yourself in the
2:02:21
playoffs. I don't care if they're in the
2:02:22
Super Bowl. They're not in the Super Bowl
2:02:24
because of the offense. They're in the Super Bowl
2:02:26
because of their defense. So take that, ladies and
2:02:29
gentlemen. But I'll admit, I said I was
2:02:30
wrong about Drake May a little bit.
2:02:34
Wow, this is the remix, Speedy. I think somebody might be
2:02:41
calling in. Yeah, I think we might have a
2:02:43
rebuttal on the line. Who's this?
2:02:45
Who do we have on the phone? Well, well, well, about time you
2:02:50
start. Eating some krill?
2:02:51
I figured you called. Now, when you realized that the
2:02:59
master always teaches the students, oh hold on, what's
2:03:03
starting to realize what's 1? Master teaches the student.
2:03:07
First of all, you are my student and I taught.
2:03:10
You even remotely. Get out of here.
2:03:13
What drugs are you on? What?
2:03:14
Cool. Video I taught you nothing.
2:03:16
You taught me nothing. You've lost the will to
2:03:19
understand what you're talking about out of that pea brain of a
2:03:22
snatch of yours. Out of left field, it's not
2:03:26
even. Really.
2:03:26
I'm so out of left field because you were right about one bottom
2:03:30
one. Come back to Earth.
2:03:31
Out of one. Listen, about time that you're
2:03:35
admitting, even though I admit all the time.
2:03:37
Stop it. I'm more shocked that it
2:03:40
happened so quickly because I gave that within that five
2:03:43
years. Dude, he had the.
2:03:45
He's already there dude. He had two dude.
2:03:47
He had the 5th easiest schedule in the NFL.
2:03:50
OK, listen, you know what everybody says He had the 5th
2:03:54
easiest schedule in NFL history in history had no weapons.
2:03:59
Really. He had no fuck.
2:04:00
Oh no, don't tell me Dick default takes is not a good
2:04:04
weapon on his last play. They have good running games.
2:04:07
They their their offensive line was a good offensive line.
2:04:10
Your defense was elite. What are you talking about?
2:04:12
Have you? Lost your mind defense I'm
2:04:14
talking about. Offense.
2:04:15
That's a weapon. The quad defense is a weapon
2:04:18
about. The defensive play.
2:04:19
What? Is it talking about the
2:04:20
quarterback play? All right, we're talking about
2:04:22
how Drake may he put himself up. There he played against bad
2:04:27
secondaries. He played against bad
2:04:29
secondaries. What are you talking about?
2:04:32
The secondaries he's played against?
2:04:34
Were. Bad.
2:04:35
That's right. That's right.
2:04:37
You want me to go through the games that he just won?
2:04:39
Do you want me to tell you where they're ranked?
2:04:41
That's right. That's right.
2:04:43
What? Is it What?
2:04:44
What what what else? What other excuses you want to?
2:04:46
There's no excuse, Mike. You can never eat your crow.
2:04:49
You can never eat your words. I will.
2:04:51
You never. You never.
2:04:53
You never. You never have.
2:04:56
You never have to admit. Really.
2:04:58
I admitted it. What are you talking about?
2:05:00
You're not 90%, right? You're not even close to 90%,
2:05:04
right? You're like 40%, right?
2:05:07
Yeah. Get out of here.
2:05:08
I have gotten you so many times and you are making up.
2:05:11
Excuse me? You have lost your mind.
2:05:13
Lost it? Oh, get it?
2:05:14
You know many times. You know how many times I've
2:05:18
beaten you in an argument? Get out of here.
2:05:20
I'll give you a collection. My foot in your ass.
2:05:23
Eat my foot in your smart ass. Suck for the dog.
2:05:26
I'll suck Wilkie. OK, You're thinking this act,
2:05:30
Wilson. What do you think about going to
2:05:32
be the worst team in the next 10 years because of all their
2:05:36
capital? Yeah.
2:05:37
OK. And you're and you're you're an
2:05:39
automatic Patriots fan. And you're an automatic Patriots
2:05:42
fan. And you're an automatic Patriots
2:05:45
fan. You've lost your damn mind.
2:05:47
You are a fake, fake fan that hides behind the weeds and
2:05:51
everything. That's right.
2:05:53
That's right. Yeah, a giant family a long time
2:05:59
ago. I told you I respect what they
2:06:01
did. They sat down, what you would
2:06:04
call it, and put Brady in and he took them over.
2:06:06
And it's respectful that that team, he never took top money
2:06:11
ever as a quarterback because he always wanted the team to put it
2:06:13
right back in it. Oh yeah.
2:06:15
I thought that was respectful and the only guy that could win
2:06:17
rings. Now you got another guy in the
2:06:20
division that's going to win rings too.
2:06:21
Really, who isn't that crazy? Who AFCE?
2:06:24
Who? Who's going to win?
2:06:26
That's not going to win. Who's going to win?
2:06:28
Who's going to win? Mike Frable?
2:06:31
You think the Patriots get out of here?
2:06:33
The Patriots? OK, well, I'll make a bet on
2:06:36
that. I'll make a bet on that.
2:06:38
You got all the money on it. How?
2:06:39
You have the Patriots winning the Super Bowl?
2:06:41
Put your money where your mouth is.
2:06:44
Put your money. Put your money where your mouth
2:06:47
is. Put your money where your mouth
2:06:49
is. Be quiet, zipper.
2:06:51
Put your money, Put your. 2. Grand 2 grand.
2:06:55
I'll say you were wrong about Daniel Murphy.
2:06:59
I you were wrong about Daniel Murphy.
2:07:02
I could go on and on and on. You were born.
2:07:05
You said Daniel Murphy was gonna suck when he left the Mets.
2:07:08
You said that, did you not? He had 1°.
2:07:11
You also said Zach Wheeler wasn't anything either.
2:07:14
Wait, what? You said Zach.
2:07:16
Yeah. Yeah.
2:07:16
You said Zach Wheeler wasn't anything either when I said
2:07:19
that. Zach I.
2:07:19
Never was the best. Yes, she did.
2:07:21
No, No. Yes she did.
2:07:22
No. No, No, she did.
2:07:23
You got your stories wrong. Really.
2:07:24
Go back to the goddamn peep. Go back and leave a million
2:07:27
hours. Yeah.
2:07:28
Go back to the peep. Yeah.
2:07:30
I never said anything about Zach Wheeler.
2:07:32
You said we talked about Zach. You said Zach Wheeler was
2:07:34
overrated. Who had the best stuff as a met
2:07:37
and I said the grom and this is both a the grom.
2:07:40
You said this. Is when, when what's we call was
2:07:43
the best pitcher in New York. Oh my God.
2:07:45
It wasn't even the Grom and he said I think Wheeler is and
2:07:48
Wheeler ended up becoming very good, but the Grom has a little
2:07:52
bit better stuff. You're out of your damn mind.
2:07:54
You're out of my damn mind. He doesn't.
2:07:56
And if you ask anybody, Zach Wheeler has been more
2:07:58
accomplished in over the last five years in Jacob the Grom.
2:08:02
Really. OK, How many saw Young?
2:08:03
Did Wheeler win it? Doesn't matter, you want to know
2:08:06
something and I'm going to say this very nice.
2:08:08
Don't. Mean anything first of all.
2:08:11
Zions don't mean anything. So that's a wide word.
2:08:13
That's a that's a league wide accomplishment, but doesn't mean
2:08:17
anything. OK, all right.
2:08:18
So all right, you've. Lost, Mike, you've lost it, Mr.
2:08:22
90% right, You're lost. Wheeler has been going good for
2:08:25
those 2 1/2 years. So automatically annoys Wheeler
2:08:28
because you know Wheeler's better because degrom's been
2:08:31
injured. Make make it make sense.
2:08:33
What do you mean make it make sense?
2:08:36
Zack Wheeler, Zack. Wheeler is better, Zack Wheeler
2:08:39
is better. Health has something to do with
2:08:43
being great. OK, so I don't.
2:08:45
Want. To hear, I think health has
2:08:48
everything to do with being great.
2:08:50
Yes, Yeah, Being healthy and playing games makes you as great
2:08:54
of a player as a guy that sits on the sits on the bench and
2:08:57
rides the bench. And because he's had one or two
2:08:59
good years, oh, he's the greatest.
2:09:01
Thing to try spread that really did very well so I got a
2:09:04
question go ahead. The CROM was very healthy this
2:09:06
year. Real it wasn't.
2:09:08
The CROM was in the Cy Young AL voting I believe had a very good
2:09:12
record for all of a sudden. Really.
2:09:14
Really I don't. I didn't see him in the Cy
2:09:15
Young. He was in the top five.
2:09:17
He wasn't in the top three, so that doesn't mean anything,
2:09:20
doesn't mean anything, doesn't mean anything.
2:09:23
Nope. Doesn't mean, doesn't matter.
2:09:24
Doesn't mean so young. Is it Wheeler?
2:09:27
Nope. That's all it matters.
2:09:28
You know what, Mike? You're going to sit here and
2:09:30
tell everybody you're 90% right, but you're oh, wait, I'll tell
2:09:32
you you're 90% wrong, 10% right. I'll give you credit.
2:09:37
I'll give you 10%. You're lost.
2:09:39
You're lost. You're.
2:09:41
Dude, I'm not delusion, OK? There's no delusion here.
2:09:44
From the Drake May podium, Let's go.
2:09:45
You realize you're wrong? Nothing.
2:09:47
New dude he beat nobody dude. What did he do in the playoffs?
2:09:50
Who did is he beat in the playoffs?
2:09:52
If if it wasn't for luck, they wouldn't be in the Super Bowl.
2:09:55
So don't sit here and tell me. Oh, Drake May this Drake May
2:09:58
that. He sucked.
2:09:59
He sucked. Yeah, it was.
2:10:02
He was lucky. Dude.
2:10:03
He fumble the ball four times against the taxes.
2:10:05
If the Texas didn't screw up as much, they would have been
2:10:08
knocked out. Yeah, it's the truth.
2:10:10
Drake may look like crap against ball.
2:10:12
Well, the fake, the Bonex lists Broncos.
2:10:16
OK, They're honest to God. You're going to tell me and
2:10:19
you're going to you're going to try to sell me.
2:10:20
This it's a horrible game and stop game because of the
2:10:24
weather. Oh, stop weather and both MVP,
2:10:27
right MVP, right, MVP. Mikey, it was great.
2:10:31
To talk to MVP, MVP. Hey Mike.
2:10:35
Hey Mike. Matthew Stafford.
2:10:36
Matthew Stafford played in the snow.
2:10:38
How did Heathrow threw? Pretty well threw pretty well.
2:10:42
He threw pretty well. Stop it, Mike.
2:10:44
Get out of here. Mike, you're going.
2:10:46
To make the ball. Are you telling me are you
2:10:48
trying to sit there and compare? Stop.
2:10:50
It has 10 times the better. 10 So that's what it is.
2:10:55
The AFC is the easiest. Conference sports doing with no
2:11:00
weapons is amazing. They're doing.
2:11:01
It nobody. Hey, he's beat nobody.
2:11:05
He's beat nobody. He's beat nobody.
2:11:08
The Broncos suck, all right. The Texans suck.
2:11:12
Yeah, they suck. How did they have home field of
2:11:14
games dude? Dude, they should have lost
2:11:16
against The Jets. The team that you see sucks too
2:11:18
much. They suck, but.
2:11:20
Listen, I'm not saying the Broncos are great.
2:11:23
I never said that. I'm just saying why did the
2:11:25
number one seed? Dude, who did they beat?
2:11:26
Were they? Who did they beat?
2:11:28
The Broncos in number one seed. Who did they beat?
2:11:30
I want to. Ask you the Broncos in number
2:11:32
one seed. They suck.
2:11:33
The AFC sucks. They suck.
2:11:35
It sucks. I'm sorry, who's the number one
2:11:38
seed in the AFC? What do you mean?
2:11:40
I know the Broncos. On home field throughout.
2:11:42
Who cares? What does that mean?
2:11:44
What does that mean? What does that mean, dude?
2:11:46
What does that mean? So bad that they end up getting
2:11:48
you know what, man? Put your thumb in your mouth and
2:11:51
suck it. All right.
2:11:53
Hey, I'll get you a pacifier. I love you.
2:11:55
Holy shit. I love you, Mike.
2:11:58
Goodbye, Mike. Love you, Mike.
2:12:00
We'll get you on the show. We'll get you on the show.
2:12:02
You can come into the studio any day and I'll argue my.
2:12:06
Points. Smell my ass.
2:12:10
That's all I could say. Your question here bro because
2:12:13
you think you're saying the Bronco sucks?
2:12:14
I'm curious did Seattle sucks? Should stay at home field.
2:12:17
What are you talking about? Seattle is great all around.
2:12:20
Hello answer the question don't. Go Seattle.
2:12:24
Seattle is the best division in football, best division of
2:12:28
football. By the way, the AFC East, by the
2:12:31
way, by the way, by the way, by the way, the AFC East is one of
2:12:35
the worst divisions in football, One of the worst, one of the
2:12:39
worst, one of the worst, one of the worst, one of the worst, one
2:12:43
of the worst. You want to go back and forth?
2:12:45
AFC East is one of the worst divisions in football.
2:12:48
So stop, stop trying. Try stop trying to sell me.
2:12:51
First of all, I any division with the catch is always the
2:12:54
worst division. All right, goodbye.
2:12:55
All right. Goodbye.
2:12:56
Goodbye. I'm done.
2:12:58
Thank you, Mike. I'm done.
2:13:00
Seriously, I'm going to sit here and listen to this garbage.
2:13:03
I love the guy. You know, he always thinks he's
2:13:06
right. He has been right on some things
2:13:08
and he says I owe him 2000. I don't know what he's talking
2:13:11
about $2000. I've never bet him $2000.
2:13:15
So I don't know where he's coming up with that number.
2:13:17
All right, so I admit there are times that he's been right, but
2:13:21
I've been right on a lot of things too.
2:13:22
Mike will never give me credit on anything I'm right with, but
2:13:25
he'll say he's 90% right. He's not.
2:13:28
I'll tell you where he's been right and I'm going to give it
2:13:30
to you guys. Josh Allen.
2:13:32
When Josh Allen got drafted out of that draft class, he said
2:13:36
Josh Allen would be the best quarterback in the class.
2:13:37
He was wrong about that. Lamar is, but he is definitely
2:13:41
out of it. And I said Sam was going to be.
2:13:43
Now Sam still has a chance. We'll see if Sam starts to
2:13:46
develop and, and wins multiple, if if Sam wins A, wins a
2:13:50
championship, you can argue and, and, and Sam could win multiple
2:13:54
championships over there in Seattle.
2:13:56
I would then you're going to say Sam Donald is the better
2:13:59
quarterback. And I said Sam Donald was going
2:14:01
to be the best quarterback in that class, not because he was a
2:14:04
Jet, just because I thought he was an elite quarterback.
2:14:08
And we'll see how he developed. He's still 28 years old, still
2:14:11
has a lot of time. So we'll see.
2:14:12
The only one that's been to a Super Bowl is actually a second
2:14:15
Super Bowl. He was the backup for the 40.
2:14:17
Niners So he was right about Josh Allen and he was right
2:14:19
about Drake May, but he's been all right.
2:14:21
He's been wrong about a lot of things.
2:14:23
Speedy, am I wrong? We have gotten him on a lot of
2:14:27
things that he has said where he has been really, really wrong.
2:14:32
So Mike, I love you. I will never attack you as a
2:14:37
person. You and my partner always been.
2:14:40
And I've always, I've always, you know, obviously because
2:14:42
you're a little bit older than me, I've looked up to you.
2:14:45
But you know, Mike, I've worked, I've worked with Mike for years.
2:14:48
I've helped him grow in this industry and he's helped me grow
2:14:51
because he's really changed my complexion of the way I present
2:14:56
myself on any radio show. I am different because of Mikey
2:14:59
C I give him a little bit of credit because he's changed me.
2:15:03
He's opened up my mind of who I am as a personality and let me
2:15:07
be myself. And that's what I love about
2:15:09
Mike. Say whatever you want about
2:15:10
Mikey C and I have attacked him many, many times on and off the
2:15:14
show. Mikey C is a dedicated
2:15:18
personality and he also has a lot of faith in me.
2:15:21
He's always come to me and says he's always told me that I'm one
2:15:23
of the best in the industry. And I love you, Mike.
2:15:26
I've always respected you. But there are things that come
2:15:29
out of Mikey C's mouth that makes me sick to my stomach.
2:15:32
That's all I'm going to say. nhl.com's Dan Rosen reports that
2:15:36
the New York Rangers will be resting star yes Panarin until
2:15:40
after the Olympic roster freeze next Wednesday, February 4th.
2:15:44
The Rangers are calling it a roster management purpose
2:15:47
interesting with general manager Chris Drury and the team
2:15:51
exploring trade options for the bread man as that what they call
2:15:56
him. I don't know why they call him
2:15:58
after earlier this month announcing announced publicly
2:16:03
that the team would not discuss a new contract with him until
2:16:07
after the season when he would be a free agent.
2:16:10
Panarin is in the last year of his seven-year $81,000,000 deal
2:16:16
which he signed with the Rangers in 2019.
2:16:18
NHL Networks David Pagnotta reports that the Kings and the
2:16:24
Capitals have reached out to the Rangers about a potential
2:16:27
Panarin trade and could give him a three-year extension right
2:16:31
away. Reports say that the Sharks have
2:16:34
also reached out to the Rangers about Panarin, but are less
2:16:39
likely to extend him right away. Panarin only has 1,000,000 base
2:16:45
salary and a 7 million signing bonus left on his contract, but
2:16:49
the Rangers may still have to pay him some of the remaining
2:16:53
salary even if they draw. They do trade him.
2:16:58
Panarin has nineteen goals, which is second on the Rangers
2:17:01
this season, only behind Mika Zabinejad, and also has 38
2:17:08
assists and 57 points, which lead the Rangers and players
2:17:12
this season. Well, well, well, Mr. Panarin.
2:17:19
Well, here's what I'm going to say.
2:17:21
Wherever Panarin goes, he will succeed.
2:17:25
I think he's a prolific offensive option no matter where
2:17:28
he goes. If he goes and plays with
2:17:29
Ovechkin, that'll be fun to watch.
2:17:31
He'll play on Ovechkin's line. That would be really cool to
2:17:34
watch, especially with the Capitals possibly making the
2:17:37
playoffs. He wants to play on a playoff
2:17:40
run. He's never won.
2:17:42
Well, he did win a Stanley Cup of Chicago, I think one year.
2:17:44
Yeah, his, but he was like a third line player.
2:17:46
And he's still a great player, let me tell you.
2:17:48
I remember when he came into the league he was, I think if I'm
2:17:51
not mistaken, he was a third round pick.
2:17:53
I think at the Cup year was the last of the three Blackhawks
2:17:56
Cups with his rookie. Year, yeah, and, and the Kings
2:17:58
are interesting too, because out there on the West Coast, the
2:18:01
Kings are young, talented, very aggressive team.
2:18:05
I could see the King's Landing. A guy like Panarin.
2:18:08
This is a guy that has a tremendous ability.
2:18:11
I don't care if he's 34. I don't care if he's 40.
2:18:13
The guy could still put the puck in the net.
2:18:15
He still has a way and has a knack to putting the puck in the
2:18:18
net. Those guys don't grow on trees.
2:18:21
They really don't. If he played for the Islanders
2:18:23
right now, he'd be second leading scorer on the Islanders.
2:18:26
So I, I, I'm not going to say that Panarin wouldn't be a nice
2:18:30
option if the Islanders were interested in moving to get him.
2:18:33
And I don't think the Rangers would ever do that because he's
2:18:35
one of their best players. But here's the facts.
2:18:39
Panarin's had problems over the last couple of years, problems
2:18:44
with women issues. There were stuff coming out,
2:18:46
domestic violence situations. I think you remember that Speedy
2:18:51
that the Rangers were trying to brush under the rug.
2:18:54
They were stuff going on with him traveling to Russia in the
2:18:58
offseason when the Rangers didn't want him to do that
2:19:00
because of all the war and all the stuff that's going on over
2:19:03
there across the sea. There's a lot and, and Panarin
2:19:07
has his own personality. He does his own things.
2:19:11
And I, I maybe being that he is one of the elite offensive
2:19:15
options the Rangers have had in a very, very long time.
2:19:18
I'm honestly, when you think about as far as great players,
2:19:22
the last player that I can compare Panarin to was probably,
2:19:26
I would say probably messier. Rick Nash was a good player when
2:19:29
he came from Columbus. He really was, but he never
2:19:32
really turned into the player he became when he was with
2:19:36
Columbus. I I mean, I think he had 140
2:19:38
goal season with the Ranger. He and he never showed up in the
2:19:41
playoffs. Panarin, he's up and down in the
2:19:44
playoffs and really in the last couple of years he's
2:19:46
disappeared. The no movement clause was is
2:19:50
very interesting when it comes to Panarin.
2:19:52
That means Panarin will have his choice on certain teams that he
2:19:55
wants to be traded to. Same thing with Mika's, a bit of
2:19:58
Jazz, same thing with a lot of these guys.
2:20:00
And that's why I think Chris Jury is a complete fool because
2:20:04
he's got six players, 6 important players that are
2:20:07
making a lot of money. When it comes to the the Rangers
2:20:09
cap, they have no movement clauses and with that.
2:20:14
That means they're in the driver's seat.
2:20:16
The players are in the driver's seat.
2:20:17
And, and again, I talk about the NBA being a player driven
2:20:20
league, but there is no movement clauses in the NBA really.
2:20:24
There are no, there's there's no trade clauses, but not no
2:20:29
movement clauses. The NHL is completely different.
2:20:32
The NHL has no movement clauses and no trade clauses.
2:20:35
So they have two of them. And the fact here is Panarin is
2:20:40
in the driver's seat. He can go wherever he wants.
2:20:43
He really could, and I think he's going to make the decision
2:20:46
on where he wants to go. He was going to go to a team
2:20:49
that has a chance to win a Stanley Cup, a team that he
2:20:51
feels comfortable playing at and in his ability to still put the
2:20:54
bucket in that can still be a thirty goal scorer, maybe a
2:20:57
forty goal scorer. I think that this guy is is
2:21:02
still as dominant as any second tier offensive options the NHL
2:21:07
has to offer. I think he could skill if he
2:21:11
goes to the right team. He could score 40 goals in a
2:21:14
season. I think he still has the ability
2:21:16
to do that speedy. Yeah, 57 points for a team that
2:21:18
doesn't skate very well, A-Team, that's gotten old with a lot of
2:21:21
these veteran guys kind of underperforming all at once.
2:21:23
The Banjad has played a little better, but still not great
2:21:25
overall. JT Miller, his first full season
2:21:27
back with the Rangers, has been up and down with injury.
2:21:29
So I think him still playing like that, it's the
2:21:32
circumstances shows that he could still be a top six
2:21:34
contributor on a lot of those other teams.
2:21:35
The Sharks are interesting 'cause they have a lot of speed
2:21:37
on that team of Panera and can still skate.
2:21:40
Maybe not to the same extent when he first came to the
2:21:41
Rangers, but still enough where with that fast of a core around
2:21:45
him is definitely suited for him.
2:21:47
The Kings have always been looking for an offensive kind of
2:21:51
top six filler guy. For years they've been very top.
2:21:53
And a leader. Yeah, they've been top heavy
2:21:55
with with Kempe having a great career over there with the Kings
2:21:58
and they've rotated several other guys around in other small
2:22:01
scale trades that have worked, but they haven't really had that
2:22:03
guy that is that's a keeper for them.
2:22:05
They've always been aggressive at the traded deadline but never
2:22:08
have been the team that's gotten it.
2:22:09
It reminded me of Minnesota for a while until Minnesota got
2:22:11
Quinn Hughes this year. They were always in the market
2:22:13
and never could get the pull the trigger on those trades or they
2:22:16
traded too much in so they panicked on other.
2:22:18
Deeds I watch out for the Kings, and I'll tell you why.
2:22:22
This wouldn't be the only move that the Kings are going to
2:22:24
make. They have a great farm system.
2:22:26
They have a lot of good young players.
2:22:28
Panera would be a great fit over there.
2:22:30
Obviously he'll be a second line player, but he can always move
2:22:34
to the first line, especially if he's put in the puck in the net.
2:22:37
He still has tremendous speed. He's got one of the best hands
2:22:40
in in the NHL still to this day. I you don't you can't teach that
2:22:45
you can't teach goal scoring to anybody.
2:22:47
This guy has the ability he has a knack.
2:22:49
That's why they call. I guess that's why they call him
2:22:51
the bread man because he knows how to put it in the in the
2:22:54
pocket. You know, so I, I, to me, it
2:22:59
makes a lot of sense with the Kings more than I would say with
2:23:01
the Capitals, because the Kings need that offensive leader on
2:23:05
the offensive side of the the pot, on the offensive side of
2:23:08
the ice. I'm just interested to see if
2:23:12
some surprise team sneaks out of somewhere to grab him up and
2:23:15
scoop him up and put him in a position to succeed.
2:23:17
Yeah, I was actually going to mention the Capitals.
2:23:20
I don't like the fit as much because they're more of the
2:23:22
physical power forward type team.
2:23:24
I don't really think he would fit as much over there.
2:23:25
And I know there was another article I was reading about the
2:23:27
Florida Panthers because the same thing I mentioned.
2:23:29
He's not going to. Panthers, yeah, the same thing I
2:23:31
mentioned with Vegas a few weeks ago, like they're another team,
2:23:33
Florida that loves to manipulate the cap, but there Florida is
2:23:35
another one that's a power forward type team.
2:23:37
I don't think he would really. Fit.
2:23:38
I'm going to tell you a team that you better watch out for
2:23:40
the Dallas Stars. They're another one I saw too,
2:23:42
yeah. They're the team because the
2:23:45
Dallas Stars, they're built to win.
2:23:47
They always fall short. They have three straight
2:23:49
conference finals. Yeah, they they can't get to the
2:23:51
Stanley Cup Finals. And you add Panarin to that team
2:23:55
and you only have to give up maybe 1 prospect and you put
2:23:57
them with the talent that they have over there.
2:23:59
Watch out. I mean, they'll be, everybody
2:24:02
keeps talking about how Colorado's just going to drive
2:24:03
themselves all the way to Stanley Cup finals.
2:24:05
No, they're not. I don't think so.
2:24:06
I, I think Dallas is dangerous. I think some of these younger
2:24:09
teams that have a tremendous amount of speed and you know,
2:24:12
the playoffs is completely different when, when it comes to
2:24:14
speed and, and, and goaltending. All you need is a hot goaltender
2:24:17
and you can win it all. So I, I and Colorado's weakness
2:24:20
goaltending. Yeah, it's interesting how
2:24:22
aggressive a lot of those other teams will be, like the Sharks
2:24:24
that are young longer. Like a team like Anaheim, you go
2:24:26
back with Quemville, who you coached, who you coached with
2:24:29
and with Chris Kreider with with True.
2:24:31
But with all those other guys you played with, with the
2:24:33
Rangers, like that feels like a natural fit with a team that
2:24:36
just traded Trevor Zeigris as well to Philly.
2:24:39
And Troy Terry, who was good at the beginning of his career as
2:24:41
an offensive player, hasn't really been the young player
2:24:43
either. So if they want to stay
2:24:44
aggressive, they're I think third in their division right
2:24:46
now. They're kind of like wavering
2:24:48
with Seattle and some of the other teams with the wild card
2:24:50
standings. But that could be the aggressive
2:24:51
move with the cap space that they do have because even though
2:24:54
they pay, they're taking on. True Crider's contract, they
2:24:56
still have a lot of good contracts besides that.
2:24:59
So Joel Quenville, it's funny you mention him.
2:25:02
Speedy is the guy who invented the nickname for our Tammy
2:25:05
Panarin. It's just because his name
2:25:07
sounds like. Then he should clean it up.
2:25:09
If Quenville's giving him the name, you should be cleaning
2:25:12
that name. Probably a bad sign.
2:25:13
It sounded to him to him like Panera Bread, so he just started
2:25:16
calling him Bread man instead of trying to pronounce Panarin I
2:25:20
guess. You sure you want?
2:25:21
He doesn't want his loaf. Sorry, sorry.
2:25:28
I'm not going to touch that one with a tenth foot pole, but
2:25:31
whoever gets Pinera and and I want to ask a question after I I
2:25:35
say this, he's instant offense. This guy can just start offense
2:25:41
out of nowhere. You could just have grinders on
2:25:43
your line. He will get them points.
2:25:46
He's gotten 89 points or more every season since 2021.
2:25:52
He's fantastic except if you have him on a team like he's
2:25:58
currently on where they're just not engaged.
2:26:01
He is never going to play defense or back check.
2:26:03
He just. Has never played defensively
2:26:05
anyway though. Well, but you have to keep him
2:26:08
engaged so he's passable defensively so that he's going
2:26:11
to play at least in the team concept defensively.
2:26:16
And what you've seen is he's just if he gets into the zone
2:26:20
and his slick play doesn't work, then it's just an odd man rush
2:26:24
the other way every single time. That's what happened the last
2:26:27
year and a half with the Aaron. But he still get an 80.
2:26:29
He got 89 points last year, he's got 58.
2:26:32
He's on pace for another 80 point season again.
2:26:34
But what are the Rangers going to get for him?
2:26:36
That's my question. He's on an expiring deal.
2:26:38
Not a lot. I mean, you would think that you
2:26:42
should be able to get there's going to be people that want
2:26:45
them. You're not going to.
2:26:46
Get a second line forward. You're not going to get a first
2:26:48
round talent. I I think you might get a player
2:26:52
on somebody's, you know, in their farm system.
2:26:55
That was a second round pick who a lot of people put them on a
2:26:58
depth charts as a top five player.
2:27:01
They might get something like that.
2:27:02
The Rangers, if they're if they have the right guy making the
2:27:06
choice they get, they get lucky. Hey, listen, listen, they got
2:27:09
lucky with Fox. They made that move.
2:27:13
They brought Fox in, Carolina drafted him and Carolina had an
2:27:17
abundance of defensive talent. So they they gave up Fox and the
2:27:22
Rangers got lucky with him. Rangers gave up nothing for Fox.
2:27:26
So I, I mean, and look at what Fox turned out to be.
2:27:29
I mean, he's an elite defenseman when he plays at the top level.
2:27:32
So I, I just, I don't know if Panera being at his 34, if any
2:27:36
team is going to budget giving him a top talent.
2:27:40
But I, I and even a first round draft pick, I, I could see a
2:27:43
second round pick probably, yeah.
2:27:45
Probably, especially in the West, I would think there's
2:27:47
going to be some level of a bidding war because I mentioned
2:27:50
California teams plus Vegas plus Dallas.
2:27:52
Like there's enough contending teams that'll do it.
2:27:54
Who says Minnesota doesn't try either?
2:27:55
Like they're probably in a team like that's in the running the
2:27:58
Capitals and Florida's the only teams I've heard in the East.
2:28:01
But again, would Panaron want to go to one of those systems that
2:28:04
are more of a bruising type system with with?
2:28:07
I will tell you this, and if you're, if you're a fan, I mean,
2:28:10
Sorokin is on a team care right now.
2:28:12
I, I don't know if anybody understands what he is doing
2:28:14
right now. He's given up one goal in four
2:28:17
games, one goal. I think it's one goal or three
2:28:20
games, one goal in three games and only I think it's two goals
2:28:25
in four games. It's, it's like ridiculous.
2:28:27
He's the leading. He's leading in expected goals,
2:28:29
too. 6 shutouts on the season leads the league.
2:28:33
I mean, he's been lights out. The team's lights out.
2:28:35
Well, they just beat the Rangers two games in a row.
2:28:38
It took I want to I want to tell all you Islander fans something.
2:28:41
A lot of Island fans thought he lost something and after he came
2:28:45
back from his back surgery last year, he came back from that
2:28:47
back surgery takes a full year to absorb that kind of injury.
2:28:52
Remember he was out for a all of pre season games and now you see
2:28:57
what this guy was before he hurt his back.
2:29:01
This guy is as good as any any goaltender in the NHL right now
2:29:06
and he could win goaltender of the year.
2:29:08
He could, he should right now. I mean, if the Islanders get
2:29:11
into the playoffs as a top three seed, he's one of the reasons
2:29:14
why the Islanders are at the top level right now.
2:29:17
He has been unbelievable and he has got arguably the greatest
2:29:20
goaltender teaching him and Patrick Wah.
2:29:22
I mean, nobody could argue that Patrick Wah is probably the
2:29:25
greatest goaltender. It's either him and Martin
2:29:27
Brodor. You can argue that and then I
2:29:29
would say Eddie Jockerman, that would be the other guy.
2:29:31
But it's pretty amazing what Sorokin is doing right now.
2:29:35
Schaefer score tonight and it's the Rangers get swept by the
2:29:39
Islanders right now and the Islanders are the third seed.
2:29:42
They're actually tied for second.
2:29:44
Pittsburgh is playing great hockey right now.
2:29:46
Not without. More surprising?
2:29:48
Guess who scored the other goal for the Islanders tonight?
2:29:50
Speedy can only be one person. Carson, Susie.
2:29:54
Who, of course. By the way, by the way, the beef
2:29:57
reached out to me and said, oh, you got this Susie guy, He
2:30:01
sticks. He sticks.
2:30:02
I said you watch, he'll go to the Ike when?
2:30:04
They traded for him last year. He'll go to the Islanders and
2:30:08
he'll be an elite defenseman. You watch.
2:30:10
Yeah, he was supposed to. He was a really good prospect
2:30:12
when he was in Minnesota. There's no room for him.
2:30:14
I'm going to give a lot of credit to Patrick Wah.
2:30:15
I mean, I did not think this was going to work here.
2:30:18
And I thought bringing in a new GMA younger GM that he was going
2:30:22
to part ways with him. It wasn't his pick.
2:30:24
It was Lamorello's guy. But they're both French Canadian
2:30:27
and they have kind of like a good relationship on, on and off
2:30:31
the ice. He decided to keep Patrick Wah
2:30:33
and Bob Boy, oh boy, Patrick Wah has been he's up for coach of
2:30:37
the year. There's no question that he's
2:30:38
been one of the better coaches in the NHL this year.
2:30:41
The development of some of these young players, I mean, they've
2:30:44
been unbelievable. So I and Matthew Shaffer, it is
2:30:49
just, I mean, I'll take back. I mean, I didn't think Schaefer
2:30:53
was going to be bad. I just, I would have went for me
2:30:56
son. Yeah, it just wasn't.
2:30:57
You never see a defenseman this good, right?
2:30:58
Away. Yeah, they don't that this
2:31:00
doesn't happen. I mean, the Islanders got lucky
2:31:02
and they they struck gold and you can see the difference of
2:31:05
the way the team is playing around him and and the team
2:31:07
believing in him. So and Patrick Rock keeps giving
2:31:10
him more and more minutes. I mean, he's playing 2628
2:31:12
minutes a game. I mean he's a rookie.
2:31:15
Rookies don't usually average 1817 minutes a game at a top
2:31:19
level. It is.
2:31:20
It's dude. He's averaging more minutes than
2:31:22
Sidney Crosby was in his rookie season and he was in, he was a
2:31:26
center. So it is an amazing story with
2:31:30
any Islanders, watch out for them.
2:31:32
Good goaltending. The defense is playing at an
2:31:34
elite level right now. They're scoring goals by the
2:31:36
clip. Watch out for the Islanders.
2:31:39
That's all I'm going to say. All right, when we come back, we
2:31:42
got call your shot NBA roundtable and what's that
2:31:45
smell? But our sports minute with the
2:31:46
fish this. Is the Jabba and the Mouth
2:31:51
sportsman ads? All right, guys, Aaron Fishman
2:31:54
here with your sportsman. A couple more stories before we
2:31:57
get through the scores this evening.
2:31:59
Following it up on our Dial it Up story from last week.
2:32:02
Duke University and now former quarterback Darian Mensa settled
2:32:06
a dispute over his late entrance into the transfer portal this
2:32:09
offseason, which Duke sued to stop from happening after he
2:32:13
originally recommitted to the defending ACC champions.
2:32:17
Mensa actually transferred to Duke before the previous season
2:32:21
from Tulane, so he only was there for one year.
2:32:24
Mensa is expected now to join the Miami Hurricanes, taking
2:32:27
over the reins from Carson Beck after their runner up finishing
2:32:30
the national championship this year.
2:32:32
Duke claims they never wanted a protracted battle with Mensa
2:32:36
over this. It was just a rectification of
2:32:39
NIL contracts that Mensa agreed to with Duke before he
2:32:43
transferred there from Tulane from the in the 2024 season.
2:32:47
Mensa, who led the ACC with 3974 passing yards and 34 passing
2:32:53
touchdowns, will stay in conference with a team whose
2:32:57
profile hasn't been higher since the days of EU in the 80s and
2:33:00
late 90s slash early 2000s. Duke, on the other hand, gets
2:33:05
the offseason to enjoy their ACC title that they got with their
2:33:08
transfer edition of Mensa as they attempt to reload for 2026.
2:33:12
With Adam, the retirement I know we're all worried about.
2:33:16
It is now officially over for heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
2:33:21
Guess what? He's stepping back into the ring
2:33:24
April 11th to face Arzlanovic Mahmoudov in the United Kingdom.
2:33:29
The 37 year old Fury gets back into the heavyweight picture
2:33:33
after the conclusion of his fifth career retirement.
2:33:37
Been away for a while but I'm back now. 37 years old and still
2:33:41
punching. Wrote this on social media 3
2:33:44
weeks ago hinting at a return to the ring but it is now
2:33:46
confirmed. Fury retired after suffering at
2:33:49
his second straight defeat to Alexander Yusick, trying to
2:33:53
regain the WBA Super WBCWBOIBO in the ring heavyweight titles.
2:33:59
Fury's only career losses were to Yusick after 35 straight
2:34:03
unbeaten matches going 34 O and one prompting his retirement in
2:34:08
January of 2025 after his second loss to Usyk.
2:34:12
Mahmudov, on his other hand, is 36 no slouch coming off of
2:34:15
victory which gained him the WBA intercontinental heavyweight
2:34:18
title back in October and as a 21 and two career record.
2:34:22
The fight will be aired live on Netflix across the globe.

2:36:35
what's keeping me up right now. This, this pill is killing me,
2:36:38
man. I'm drowsing.
2:36:39
I'm drowsy, but I've got Hershey's milk chocolate melt in
2:36:44
your mouth, not in your hands, so I've got that.
2:36:48
I've been eating my big chocolate bar, keeping me wide
2:36:51
awake and ready to recharge. That that's a bunch of garbage.
2:36:57
That stuff will melt in your hands, I guarantee you.
2:37:00
It's melt in my mouth, man. It's melt in my mouth.
2:37:02
But I will say this, I I'll never take that thing again.
2:37:07
Brittany was like, oh, it doesn't.
2:37:08
It doesn't doesn't make you drowsy, dude.
2:37:10
I've been drowsy since the beginning of the show.
2:37:12
I I'm very surprised my eyes are open right now.
2:37:15
But I'm here, ladies and gentlemen, I'm, I'm a soldier.
2:37:19
I'm a soldier. Anyways, we call this call your
2:37:23
shot. I'm not an X's and O's guy,
2:37:25
right? I'm not a tactician.
2:37:27
I'm a motivator in the classic sense of the word.
2:37:29
You know Lombardi, Charles Lindbergh, that nun over in
2:37:32
India, like those people? Call your shot.
2:37:40
All right guys here, we call your shots.
2:37:44
This is one of our newer ish segments.
2:37:47
If you haven't, you don't remember how we do it.
2:37:50
We're going to make some a little outlandish predictions
2:37:53
that Vegas might frown upon the odds of, but we're pretty sure
2:37:58
are going to happen. It's time for us to call our
2:38:00
shots. What's the order, Errol?
2:38:02
All right, let's go. The speedster, the fishter and
2:38:07
then me. Here we go.
2:38:08
All right, so Jabba did one the last time we did this segment on
2:38:11
Nebraska basketball winning a tournament.
2:38:13
So I'm going to go to a different tournament game.
2:38:14
I'm going to go a different Big 10 team that I'm going to go
2:38:16
quite the opposite that I think is going to be a fraudulent one.
2:38:20
There are five really good ones right now with Michigan I think
2:38:23
is great, Nebraska and Illinois along with Nebraska's or
2:38:26
Jabba's, Nebraska's Huskers. And the one that I think is a
2:38:29
bit fraudulent is Michigan State.
2:38:31
And the reason I say that they're not a great 3 point
2:38:33
shooting team. Their offensive efficiency
2:38:35
rating is barely top 50 in the country for a 7th ranked team.
2:38:39
They are the number seven team in the Ken Palm rankings, which
2:38:41
is a big analytic that a lot of college basketball the people
2:38:44
use and usually a top ten team in that usually wins the title.
2:38:47
But the pattern also for Michigan State a year after they
2:38:51
make the Final Four and I've gotten, I've gotten bit by this
2:38:53
many times or do very well like they got to the Elite 8 last
2:38:56
year, they usually drop off the next year.
2:38:58
So I'm going to say Michigan State basketball will be out in
2:39:01
the first weekend either to a seven seed or a ten seed.
2:39:04
If they're a two seed or if they're a one seed to an 8 or 9
2:39:06
seed, they will lose in the first weekend.
2:39:10
Well, that's going against some Izzo traditions there, but I.
2:39:14
I've fallen for his teams a lot. I I picked them in some of the
2:39:17
wrong years and usually they don't do well back-to-back
2:39:20
years. That's.
2:39:21
A good point. I got a real outlandish one.
2:39:24
I was reading this article. Errol, I'm going to say that
2:39:28
disgruntled might be the nicest way to put it.
2:39:32
Disgruntled Bills wide receiver Keyon Coleman, who got healthy,
2:39:37
scratched I think four or five times late in the season just
2:39:43
from attitude issues. We don't really know exactly
2:39:46
what it was, but he now has a new head coach and it's his
2:39:51
offensive coordinator. Here's a quote from Joe Brady.
2:39:55
Keon Coleman is going to be a Buffalo Bill.
2:39:58
I told Keon when I got hired, the best thing that happened to
2:40:01
Keon Coleman was me being his head coach.
2:40:05
I was one of the ones that stood on the table for Keon Coleman
2:40:09
and I believe in Keon Coleman. I believe Joe Brady's going to
2:40:13
force the ball to Keon Coleman a lot next season.
2:40:17
I'm going to predict. 7 plus touchdowns for Keon Coleman in
2:40:23
the 2026 season and over 800 receiving yards.
2:40:28
We know where fish is going to go in the later rounds of
2:40:30
fantasy. You better believe it.
2:40:33
I mean he burned me bad this year.
2:40:35
I took him everywhere this year so may as well do it again.
2:40:39
All right, I'm going to call my shot and I'm going to go to the
2:40:42
UFC, ladies and gentlemen. And Ilya Toporier, or that's how
2:40:47
he pronounces his name. The lightweight champion is
2:40:51
taking a break and obviously he's getting a divorce.
2:40:54
He's dealing with that. And he has two children.
2:40:56
He wanted to spend some time. So the interim championship held
2:41:00
was held this past weekend where Gagey fought Patty Pimblet.
2:41:05
And obviously, Gagey wins indecision, busts up Patty
2:41:10
Pimblet. But here's what my prediction
2:41:12
is. Justin Gagey will not be healthy
2:41:17
to fight Ilya Toporia at the White House.
2:41:23
And Toporia is supposed to fight his first fight at the first
2:41:26
fight to come back to defend his title against the interim
2:41:30
champion besides himself, and that's Gagey.
2:41:33
Gagey will not fight him. It will be Patty Pinwit who Ilia
2:41:38
Taporia attacked after the fight of USC 3/3/24 and was taking
2:41:43
shots at him. Oh, you lost against 38 year
2:41:46
old? And I think Dana White would
2:41:47
absolutely sell the hell out of this.
2:41:50
Ilia Taporia, the champion versus Patty Pimlet for the
2:41:54
lightweight championship of the world at the White House.
2:41:57
OK, ladies and gentlemen, it will not be just engaging.
2:42:00
It will be Patty Pimlet and it'll be a last minute thing and
2:42:04
Patty's the one that's going to step in.
2:42:05
Patty the Patty. And guess what?
2:42:08
He beats Ilya Taporia and wins the title and he actually
2:42:12
finally wins his championship. That's my prediction, ladies and
2:42:15
gentlemen. So we'll see how it works.
2:42:18
I know everybody probably thinks I'm crazy.
2:42:20
The UFC fan probably thinks I'm a little crazy.
2:42:22
But I think that Patty learned from that loss against Gagey and
2:42:26
I to me, he should have taken Gagey down.
2:42:29
If he took Gagey down and dominated the floor, dominant,
2:42:32
dominated the ground and ground and pound like he's done so many
2:42:36
times with, first of all, he walks at £200, he cuts 50 lbs
2:42:41
every time he fights. It's pretty amazing.
2:42:44
I think Ilya Taporia is very small.
2:42:47
If Patty's this size, I don't know if Taporia has the punching
2:42:50
power to do what Gagey did in that fight.
2:42:53
I think Taporia loses this fight if he fights.
2:42:56
If he fights Pimlit, I think matchups and make fights and
2:42:59
styles make fights. I think this this might go in
2:43:03
Patty Pimplet's favorite. Patty, the Patty.
2:43:06
Give me Patty. That's all I'm going to say.
2:43:09
Yeah, that was a good one. I was thinking about where I was
2:43:11
going to go, and nobody really uses UFC stuff, so I had to do
2:43:15
that. All right, our ladies and
2:43:17
gentlemen, our NBA Roundtable. It's time to hit the NBA
2:43:21
Roundtable. We have a few big stories,
2:43:25
couple of small ones. The biggest 1 though?
2:43:28
Giannis and Tenacupo is officially on the trade market
2:43:33
trade deadline next Thursday, 4 PMI believe.
2:43:37
So it looks like we're going to have a resolution now.
2:43:39
He is out injured 4 to six weeks, allegedly with another
2:43:45
calf injury. It's the second calf injury this
2:43:48
season for Giannis. We know what calf injuries can
2:43:51
force foretell, but there's going to be some team, in fact a
2:43:56
number of teams who are going to want to take a shot that even if
2:44:00
he's not 100%, I mean, you got you got to try to get Giannis
2:44:05
into the fold. The Knicks, the Warriors, the
2:44:09
Spurs, the the Heat are all being named of contenders.
2:44:15
And there's a real rumor out there that Giannis wants to play
2:44:20
with Anthony Edwards. Errol.
2:44:23
Yeah, I think there's a very good chance it could be the
2:44:26
Timberwolves. They've got a lot of young
2:44:28
talent. They have a good farm system.
2:44:29
They've got a they still have their draft picks.
2:44:33
Here's the thing. I think that the the New York
2:44:36
Knicks are going to make a run at him.
2:44:38
I don't think they're going to overpay for him.
2:44:40
I think there's a better chance that Miami lands him out of all
2:44:44
the teams because it's Pat Riley.
2:44:46
They're looking for that next superstar.
2:44:48
And I like Bam Autobayo. Bam autobayo would definitely be
2:44:51
in that trailer. I don't care what anybody says,
2:44:53
they're going to have to move Bam if they're going to get
2:44:55
Giannis, they keep hero. Bam would be the centerpiece.
2:44:58
They'd have to trade a ton of draft stock and does Giannis
2:45:03
want to go there? Because I don't know if he's
2:45:05
going to be able to win even with that roster.
2:45:07
But I think it's Knicks one, Miami two.
2:45:12
Put it, you know, and I listen, Anthony Edwards, yes, but
2:45:15
they're good right now. The Timberwolves are fine.
2:45:17
I think the Timberwolves will make one or two trades.
2:45:19
They have a tremendous roster and Julius Randall's been up and
2:45:22
down this year, but I think come to closer to the playoffs in the
2:45:26
second-half of the season. I expect this team to play at a
2:45:28
top level. I do not believe the
2:45:30
Timberwolves will make that trade.
2:45:31
Minnesota is interesting because they like we're talking about
2:45:34
with the hockey segment with the Dallas Stars, they're the team
2:45:36
that's been, it's the two conference finals in a row, but
2:45:38
haven't gotten to the finals in the NBA.
2:45:40
So are they ready to go for one more big swing?
2:45:43
Obviously Towns and Edwards didn't get along so and
2:45:45
obviously Towns kind of melted in that Dallas series.
2:45:48
So they traded in the Knicks and we've seen him be up and down in
2:45:50
the playoffs for the Knicks this this past year too.
2:45:52
So is that the move that they're going to try to make to get
2:45:55
somebody that doesn't have to take ball pressure off of
2:45:58
Anthony Edwards now, the Knicks, the Rockets and the Spurs, those
2:46:00
are the three teams that have the draft picks comparatively.
2:46:03
It's interesting to see if the Spurs want to mess with what's
2:46:05
working for them right now because they're the number two
2:46:07
seed in the Western Conference right now.
2:46:09
Houston's kind of a 45 fringe. So maybe they would be the one
2:46:11
more likely to make the swing. But I agree with you.
2:46:13
The Knicks definitely are the favorites.
2:46:14
I Miami, it's kind of a weird fit.
2:46:16
I don't think it would really work and buy them on a bio Miles
2:46:18
Turner, practically the same player.
2:46:19
I don't know if Milwaukee would want that back.
2:46:21
And the Warriors, I think they're just desperate, I don't
2:46:23
think. Man, I just am just so worried
2:46:27
that Karl Anthony Towns is irked, allegedly irked by these
2:46:33
trade rumors. It'd be nice if he didn't suck
2:46:37
right now. He's playing a lot worse than he
2:46:39
did last year. He's still good, but his
2:46:41
shooting, his three-point shooting has come back down to
2:46:44
earth. He was well over 40% last year.
2:46:46
He's at like 3637 right now, which is good, not great.
2:46:51
And his the rest of his numbers are his rebound numbers have
2:46:54
come down. I don't know.
2:46:56
And I and then every time they matched up him and Giannis,
2:46:59
Giannis just destroys him. Just he's like, oh really?
2:47:02
You're going to give me this guy?
2:47:04
I don't know if Katz really a winning player when it comes
2:47:09
down to it and he has a big cap number going forwards it might
2:47:15
make. Sense to.
2:47:16
Try to move him in this deal and he would be the best guy anyone
2:47:20
would be able to give back to Milwaukee.
2:47:23
There's a second piece of. This.
2:47:25
Knicks, The fact that the Knicks may be trying to lure somebody
2:47:29
over there to make it more palatable for Giannis to come.
2:47:33
The Knicks are interested in Drew Holiday coming over here
2:47:36
now. Drew Holiday is 35 years old,
2:47:41
right? And he, as you know, used to
2:47:43
play with with Giannis, he's on this kind of surprising Portland
2:47:47
team this year. Good young team.
2:47:49
He's not really on the same schedule as them with his
2:47:54
career. It would make sense for them to
2:47:56
try to get assets for him, for him, young players that can
2:47:59
contribute to a young core. The Knicks could use somebody to
2:48:04
kind of hide some of Brunson's deficiencies along the
2:48:07
perimeter, considering if they have towns you have guys with.
2:48:12
And I think this has been the problem.
2:48:13
He got deficiencies in the big man part and he got deficiencies
2:48:16
of the point guard. You need to get some more the
2:48:19
defense out there. What do you think about adding
2:48:22
Drew Holiday possibly doing that to get Giannis?
2:48:25
I think it's a slam dunk. If you're trying to draw a
2:48:27
superstar player, you're going to have to bring one of his
2:48:30
boys. We saw that Jalen Brunson when
2:48:32
he came in here. I obviously Leon Rose wanted to
2:48:35
make sure that a guy like Jalen Brunson would be happy.
2:48:38
Then he decided to bring in heart.
2:48:40
Then he brought in obviously, you know, the, the, the elites
2:48:44
and, and now look what they have.
2:48:46
They have Michael Bridges, they they have all these Villanova
2:48:48
guys now I could see them trying to draw a guy like Giannis and,
2:48:54
and Drew Holiday still can play. He's a great defender.
2:48:56
He's one of the elite defenders at the perimeter.
2:48:58
You can move them on multiple positions, especially the two he
2:49:02
he gets in on you, he gets on in on your hands.
2:49:04
He's one of the best at doing that and he still can shoot
2:49:06
fairly. So I, I think it's a good move
2:49:09
for the Knicks. They add a veteran personality
2:49:11
to the locker room and they're going to need that leadership
2:49:13
because obviously when you have Jalen Brunson calling a team
2:49:17
meeting, that doesn't sound or doesn't bowl well for the
2:49:19
organization. So, and I'm not saying that
2:49:21
Jalen Brunson isn't good speak. I just don't know if he's more
2:49:24
of that leading type. They need somebody that has that
2:49:27
experience and and has has won before and I think Drew
2:49:30
Holiday's the guy. Yeah, even when he was in New
2:49:33
Orleans too, when he got traded over there to Milwaukee
2:49:35
initially, they lost a lot of leadership when they got Bledsoe
2:49:38
instead and Anthony Davis got traded as a result.
2:49:41
Zion really never developed. They really didn't have anyone
2:49:43
there either. And Milwaukee, you're seeing it
2:49:45
now, has really lost a lot since Drew Holiday was in that deal
2:49:49
with just to get Damian Lillard. And then you saw, I think now
2:49:53
with the Knicks, you're seeing that you really have a lot of
2:49:55
specialists on the bench at this point.
2:49:56
We talked about it last week. Jordan Clarkson's kind of been
2:49:58
out of the rotation because he struggled on offense and he's
2:50:01
never been a good defender anyway.
2:50:02
And now Drew Holiday's that perfect guy.
2:50:04
I think filler in that point for another incentive.
2:50:06
You have six days to make it work, but it definitely could
2:50:08
help Giannis. You can not only get there, but
2:50:10
sign back there as well. You know, the Bucks at one point
2:50:13
speed, you telling me, I think it's three years ago.
2:50:15
Maybe it was two years ago. They had a coach named Adrian
2:50:18
Griffin. Yeah, two years ago they fired,
2:50:20
they fired him mid season. They were 30 and 13 and replaced
2:50:25
them with Doc Rivers I. Remember that very.
2:50:28
Well, I, I, it's, I mean, you can kind of draw a line right to
2:50:33
that moment as what they, and then they traded guys away.
2:50:37
They let guys go from the championship.
2:50:38
Team It all changed when they decided to part ways with
2:50:42
Budenholzer. That was it.
2:50:44
Yeah. As soon as as soon as they fired
2:50:47
Budenholzer and he was the coach when they won the championship,
2:50:50
it changed everything for that organization and and Budenholzer
2:50:53
is now coaching and and still, you know, being as elite as he
2:50:58
always is. And I think he's I Budenholzer
2:51:00
will be, he's not a Co head coach yet, but he'll he'll get
2:51:03
another head coaching job very soon.
2:51:05
I wouldn't be surprised. All right, let's let's talk
2:51:08
about one of the more surprising stories in the NBA.
2:51:12
We were ragging on this team at the beginning of the season.
2:51:17
The LA Clippers started the year 6 and 21, Well, let's call it
2:51:24
now 16 and 316 and four in their last 20 games.
2:51:30
They are the 10 seed in the Western Conference, which means
2:51:33
they're in the play in game. Kawhi Leonard is leading the NBA
2:51:38
during this stretch in points per game at 32 points per game.
2:51:42
James Harden is, you know, I guess in shape for James Harden
2:51:45
these days and playing I, I, I mean, I'm not going to pretend
2:51:50
like. He's got to get in shape for for
2:51:51
in three months when he has to sell the playoff tickets.
2:51:54
But you know, he's got this, he's got like the guard version
2:51:58
of the old man game already built in right Errol, like he's
2:52:02
got all these step back, extra footstep type moves that it used
2:52:07
to always be like, you know, the the old man game was just a low
2:52:11
post thing. You know, like you got like an
2:52:13
old guy play with everybody. You can do things in the post,
2:52:16
pass out of the post. Now with the types of moves
2:52:19
Harden has added to the league, he may play for a very long time
2:52:24
if he could stay in Harden shape Ish.
2:52:27
Well, we call him fatten so because anyways, here, here's
2:52:33
the facts. Kawhi Leonard is finally playing
2:52:35
on an elite level. When he came here, he had knee
2:52:38
problems, he had leg problems. He has not been 100% healthy
2:52:41
since he came from the Raptors and helped the Raptors win their
2:52:44
first title. I'm going to tell you this right
2:52:46
now. If Kawhi Leonard is at a top
2:52:48
level, you watch out. They can absolutely be scary in
2:52:51
the playoffs. You do not want to be matched up
2:52:53
with them. It's not James Harden I'd be
2:52:55
worried about, it's Kawhi Leonard.
2:52:56
He is a beast. And if I were the Clippers, I
2:53:00
would use them as a trade ship. They're not because they'll
2:53:03
probably believe all the way because they have an idiot coach
2:53:06
and we all know who he is, who I'm not a big fan of.
2:53:10
I can see that idiot coach trying to feed them any thought
2:53:13
that they're going to win a championship and maybe, maybe
2:53:16
they will. We'll see.
2:53:17
But I think the coach is a moron and I think Kawhi is special so.
2:53:21
Yeah, they're being stuck in like consistent, like mediocrity
2:53:24
for quite a while. They're they're always just
2:53:26
short when they're good. And then they're always never
2:53:28
bad enough to get anywhere. And now they're kind of stuck in
2:53:30
the sense of false hope when they don't have a team that's
2:53:32
that good. And like Errol saying, a coach
2:53:33
that's a moron and is. Big moron.
2:53:36
I remember the guy that used to be with our network and Trey
2:53:39
Larkins thought he was a top three coach in the NBA, which I
2:53:42
thought he was not. Trey, don't.
2:53:43
I miss that. Yes, he thought that at the
2:53:45
time. I I don't believe he's, he'll be
2:53:47
thinking that anymore. Look, a buddy is on the
2:53:49
television, right? Now, oh, look at that.
2:53:52
Which brings us to. With his yellow shirt.
2:53:55
With a great reminder of James Harden's time was the Brooklyn
2:53:57
Nets selling playoff tickets outside?
2:53:58
If they even make it to the play in tournament and that's all
2:54:01
they're going to get to at this. Point.
2:54:02
Maybe they should sell or maybe should give away some fattened
2:54:05
shirts. They don't have to.
2:54:07
They could. They could use that.
2:54:08
They can use it. They, they can.
2:54:10
They don't need to sell them. They could use all the money
2:54:12
they're getting from Steve Ballmer's fake company.
2:54:13
Interesting. Oh man.
2:54:15
If you think Steve Ballmer and I've been saving this one up,
2:54:19
our buddy Pablo Torre did some more investigations and he found
2:54:23
out there's a worse owner by far than what Steve Ballmer was
2:54:28
doing. And it happens to be a guy named
2:54:30
Robert Para, the Memphis Grizzlies owner.
2:54:35
So the story goes that there was a six month investigation into
2:54:41
the company that Pera owns, a tech company called Ubiquity,
2:54:46
which has a long range wireless communication equipment.
2:54:49
Now, the NBA never really found out where he got his money from.
2:54:55
They knew he was a tech guy. He's apparently selling his
2:55:01
wireless communication equipment to the Russian army and which is
2:55:06
completely against U.S. sanctions and very, very
2:55:11
illegal. He's going to get in a lot of
2:55:13
trouble. But there's more stories about
2:55:16
this weirdo para that might interest you.
2:55:19
This is called the Justin Timberlake story.
2:55:22
He got so angry after he purchased the Grizzlies that
2:55:27
somebody said that Justin Timberlake's frequent
2:55:30
appearances really bothered him. So he had, he made sure he
2:55:34
bought out Justin Timberlake as an owner because he was insecure
2:55:39
that Justin Timberlake was more important than him in his own
2:55:43
arena. And then we have this Tony Allen
2:55:46
story, which is just, I mean, he challenged Tony Allen in 2013 to
2:55:54
a game of one-on-one. Oh boy, for charity.
2:55:58
He thought he was a good basketball player.
2:56:01
This owner, Pretty sure he's probably short regardless, not
2:56:06
an NBA player. Tony Allen.
2:56:08
They everyone. The coach, Dave Yeager tried to
2:56:12
get them as bad as they could. Not to fight, not to have this
2:56:16
game. Apparently when the game was
2:56:18
cancelled, he tried to fire the coach Yeager and insisted on the
2:56:23
upper management doing it. The move was blocked at the
2:56:27
time, but as you know, they eventually did fire him.
2:56:30
And they hired Nick's legend David Fizdale.
2:56:33
And, you know, there's other things about like, kind of like
2:56:35
his weird stance with John Morant, how strict he was.
2:56:40
Apparently we have a pretty renegade owner in the NBA Arrow.
2:56:45
What it tells me is eventually the players are going to be
2:56:49
involved and he is probably going to lose his ownership.
2:56:54
I mean, everything that you're hearing right now, it just tells
2:56:56
you there is some kind of, you know, some kind of secrets going
2:57:01
on in the back end of the NBA ownerships.
2:57:05
And this has been going on for a while.
2:57:07
I mean, think about it in Phoenix, it was going on, it was
2:57:10
going on with the Clippers. And now you're hearing the
2:57:12
Memphis Grizzlies. What's next?
2:57:14
And and by the way, don't the Memphis Grizzlies have a player
2:57:18
over there that can't stay out of trouble?
2:57:19
I mean, maybe he should try to control his players instead of
2:57:24
trying to sell computer programs and computer, you know, stuff to
2:57:29
the Russians and giving them an opportunity to use that against
2:57:33
us. I mean, it's pathetic honestly.
2:57:35
This guy is worse than any of those owners that lost their
2:57:39
their ownership. This guy is a bad dude and he
2:57:42
should absolutely been pushed be pushed out of the NBA.
2:57:45
Yeah. This is somebody that's getting
2:57:47
involved with international conflict and probably like the
2:57:50
worst we've seen in this last 15 years or so with that country
2:57:54
you're trying to get involved with and those leaders over
2:57:57
there, there are even leaders. But with a, what would you say
2:58:01
wireless like routing company like that sounds as fake as it
2:58:05
gets. It sounds shady.
2:58:06
Is that the kind of technology and then you're trying to?
2:58:08
Spread it around. To who knows, maybe even just
2:58:11
Russia at this point. We we thought the NBA the
2:58:13
betting scandal was crazy as how many mobsters and mafia.
2:58:17
And countries they were getting. Involved in and now you're
2:58:19
dealing with this thing yeah, this is absolutely something you
2:58:21
should be forced out for and. And you're like one-on-one with
2:58:24
Tony Allen, Think you're some kind of hot, hot basketball
2:58:27
player. What do you of our ball trying
2:58:29
to go up one-on-one with Michael Jordan?
2:58:31
Yeah, that's going to work well. All right, I got and the last
2:58:34
thing is, is not a ton. I mean, we could talk about
2:58:37
LeBron if you want. You saw LeBron crying.
2:58:41
You saw him in his last game maybe ever in Cleveland.
2:58:46
I mean, I personally don't buy it, but maybe it is.
2:58:51
Maybe it isn't his last and you think that's it for LeBron?
2:58:53
This is his last year. Is it looking like that?
2:58:56
I don't think so, and I'm going to tell you why.
2:58:58
He still has other records that he wants to break and he has a
2:59:01
chance to break him if he plays another season.
2:59:04
There's I think there's a record that he's second place in right
2:59:07
now and 4th place in another record that he has a chance to
2:59:11
break if he plays one more season.
2:59:13
I think LeBron comes back for one more year.
2:59:16
So last year in in Cleveland, No, I, it might be the last year
2:59:22
with the Lakers. I, I think he could be playing
2:59:24
for another roster, another team, another organization for
2:59:27
at least one more year. We'll see how that goes.
2:59:29
I I think LeBron also wants to see if he can get that fifth
2:59:31
championship to tie Kobe. He doesn't have that and that's
2:59:35
his goal. That's always been his goal.
2:59:38
He's not going to catch Jordan, but he might be able to catch
2:59:41
Kobe and that's where I think he's going to go.
2:59:43
Yeah, if he's trying to get that championship, maybe he does end
2:59:45
up with Cleveland. I mean, I don't know if there's
2:59:47
any other teams that are in that championship contending mode
2:59:50
that would go after him. I am at this point.
2:59:51
And maybe Houston, but that means Kevin Durant's going to
2:59:53
have way too much influence with that team and that could ruin
2:59:55
that team very easily too. They're building something.
2:59:57
Well, he's not going to go to the Spurs or OKC or anything
2:59:59
like that. So Cleveland will probably be
3:00:01
the best shot. I think there's still a tough
3:00:02
that's there's still a top three team in the East this year even
3:00:04
though haven't played as good. But yeah, I think he's
3:00:07
definitely last year with the Lakers.
3:00:08
If he just wants to play one year with his buddies, he'll
3:00:10
probably you'll probably be right with your first.
3:00:11
Call yourself Errol and maybe he ends up with the Dallas
3:00:13
Mavericks. Who knows.
3:00:14
All right. And the very last one we've got,
3:00:17
the Rising Stars rosters were revealed.
3:00:22
Now they've they've gotten to the point with these games that
3:00:26
it's just like you don't even know what you're watching
3:00:29
anymore. There's four teams, all right.
3:00:32
Carmelo Anthony has a team, T Mac has a team, Vince Carter has
3:00:37
a team. And the fourth team is a bunch
3:00:40
of G League players, including Trail Blazers draft pick the big
3:00:47
the the Chinese Yokich Yang Hansen and Clippers center
3:00:52
Yannick Conan Niederhauser. All right, Ron Harper junior's
3:00:57
on that team, but let me read you who the top picks were.
3:01:01
Of course, Carmelo Anthony made Cooper flag the number one
3:01:05
overall pick in the Rising Stars game, as he may surprise you.
3:01:10
Yeah, I'll do the Carmelo licking my lips every time he
3:01:12
has something. Carmelo Anthony.
3:01:16
He likes licking his lips. Because he drinks so much red
3:01:19
wine and just gets like that, that kind of taste.
3:01:22
The second guy I'd I'd like to know how many times I'd like to
3:01:26
I'd like to know how many times he eats honey and our Cheerios.
3:01:31
And so did Kevin Garnett. I'd probably more than Charles
3:01:34
Barkley does. Con canople yes was the second
3:01:38
pick in this draft. You could argue he should have
3:01:41
been first. And some people made that
3:01:44
argument. Con canoople.
3:01:47
Same team as Cooper flag last year having an unbelievable
3:01:54
rookie season. No one really thought he'd come
3:01:56
to the league and take it by storm like this.
3:01:59
The third pick was VJ Edgecomb, who has been excellent for the
3:02:04
Sixers. Seems to be they have a really
3:02:08
nice backcourt for the future. And then the 4th pick is a
3:02:12
really interesting player who at the time the trade seemed really
3:02:16
crazy what they made. They traded an unprotected pick
3:02:20
to move up to take Derek Queen. Derek Queen is the 4th pick in
3:02:24
this draft. So Derek Queen went in the teens
3:02:27
in the in the NBA draft last year.
3:02:29
So that's obviously pretty impressive.
3:02:32
Other guys, Reed Shepherd's in this game.
3:02:34
Stefan Castle, last year's rookie of the Year, Jeremiah
3:02:37
Fears, Donovan Klingon, the UConn champion, and Raptors
3:02:42
forward Colin Murray Boyles. That's Mellow's team.
3:02:45
Along with Cooper Flag. We got Knupel, Koll Ware, Trey
3:02:51
Johnson and Alex Sarr from the Wizards.
3:02:54
AJ Mitchell By the way, if you haven't paid attention to AJ
3:02:56
Mitchell on the Oklahoma City Thunder, he's just they just
3:03:00
find these guys and and this guy's like maybe a top 100
3:03:04
player in the league already. Second year, unbelievable.
3:03:08
Jalen Tyson and Cam Spencer. Vince Carter's team is Edgecomb
3:03:12
Queen Haishan Jordan, George Boozelis, Nets, Nets point
3:03:19
guard, the future Igor Demin and Cedric Coward and Jalen Wells
3:03:24
from Memphis. And again that game they'll
3:03:27
have. The four teams will play 3
3:03:29
games. The winners of the first two
3:03:31
games will play in the 3rd to determine the champion.
3:03:33
Friday the 13th of February. Is is Jason and Freddie playing?
3:03:41
It might look like that out on the court.
3:03:44
Probably it's as ugly as it can be.
3:03:47
Who cares? Honestly, who cares?
3:03:51
I I mean. What do you think about the
3:03:53
Knoople thing though? The Knoople thing is fascinating
3:03:55
that he's this good. I think canoople I I knew all
3:03:58
about canoople. Now I don't think he's anywhere
3:04:01
close to the talent Cooper flag is, but con canoople could shoot
3:04:05
the ball. He's definitely the best shooter
3:04:07
in this class. It's not even an argument and
3:04:10
he's proven that over there with the Charlotte Hornets and I
3:04:13
balls playing playing pretty good.
3:04:15
I mean the Hornets have a good future if they if they could
3:04:17
build their team around this youth and this talent give them
3:04:21
another year or two, they're going to be able to compete with
3:04:23
all the top teams in in the east.
3:04:25
So I, I, I'm interested to see where the where the Hornets are
3:04:29
going to be, but I'm not surprised.
3:04:32
I I think the two best teams I mean the two best players is
3:04:35
Concanupal and and Flag so not. Surprised, yeah.
3:04:39
It's a lot of these teams like you first, you mentioned the
3:04:41
Wizards like they've started to rise now, but it's not really a
3:04:43
great team overall. The Hornets Concanupal
3:04:45
definitely has a case for the Rookie of the Year this year for
3:04:48
sure. Pelicans to have a couple of
3:04:50
young ones. You mentioned Queen fears I like
3:04:51
a lot. Of Cooper flags going to win.
3:04:53
Yeah, he's going to. Probably probably, but again,
3:04:56
Canoople definitely making a good case.
3:04:58
I was. I was fine with them taking 4
3:04:59
because they never dropped shooters at all.
3:05:01
They always dropped these weird big man prototypes.
3:05:03
And I'm not surprised Canoople is playing as well as the.
3:05:06
So they're playing each other right now as we speak.
3:05:09
It's late in the third quarter. You got to hear the stat lines
3:05:12
of the two of them. Flag is sitting at 40 points in
3:05:15
28 minutes, 16 of 23, two hits, hit two threes, has seven
3:05:20
boards, 2 assists. Knupel has 28 points on 9 of 13
3:05:25
shooting, 83 pointers, 8 of 11 from 3-4 rebounds, 3 assists.
3:05:30
The two of them have a whole quarter left to play with those
3:05:33
numbers and it's a 3 point game you're going to.
3:05:36
It's going to be a box score you want to check out.
3:05:40
So that's it for the round table for tonight, boys.
3:05:43
I'm a Duke guy, so I'm rooting for both those guys.
3:05:46
I want them all to succeed and I'm not surprised.
3:05:49
And I'm telling you guys right now, Cam Boozer is the best
3:05:52
player in this class and you can book it.
3:05:55
You can book it. He's better than Cooper Flag.
3:05:57
He has a better talent than Cooper Flag, and that's crazy to
3:05:59
say that. So I'm telling you, whoever
3:06:03
passes up on him, he's going to be the best one in this class.
3:06:06
I'm just telling you, I'm not lying.
3:06:10
That's how good he is. All right, we call this.
3:06:12
What's that smell? Hold on, what is that smell?
3:06:16
What's that? Smell.
3:06:23
Wow, you don't see that every day.
3:06:24
Pass Liquor. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
3:06:28
I got a little hold on hold. On I love Lisa Ann that's.
3:06:31
The good one right there or a little of hold on, hold on, hold
3:06:35
on. Suck my indo I.
3:06:36
Like to suck my indo one too? Or or.
3:06:39
Thumb up my ass. Well, that's what Nathan's doing
3:06:41
right now as we speak. On his sofa or on his sofa, or
3:06:44
maybe. He is always looking at Lee Sad.
3:06:46
That's right as. He's scoop sits on the shitter.
3:06:48
There he goes, and he's probably dreaming about scoops right now,
3:06:51
but anyway. But wait, Nathan sits on the
3:06:53
shitter. He also looks really sad as he.
3:06:55
Does poops gets no coots? Well, does Nathan?
3:06:58
I don't know. Double fisting.
3:07:01
Well, somebody's going to double fist him, if you know what I
3:07:03
mean. I love them.
3:07:04
Or we got this one. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
3:07:07
A lot of hot ladies. I like that one.
3:07:09
I do a lot of hot ladies or I'll talk to Brittany.
3:07:12
Breaking news, I need Brittany also.
3:07:14
All right, ladies and gentlemen, what's that smell is our final
3:07:18
segment on that. There he is, Nathan's care, Care
3:07:21
Bear. He is a Care Bear, whatever that
3:07:26
thing is. Anyways.
3:07:27
So what we do, what we do in this segment is pretty simple.
3:07:32
We're going around in a circle. We're going to go around in a
3:07:35
circle. You see, I'm a little, little
3:07:37
ditzy now. And what we're going to do is
3:07:40
we're going to tell you a story and we're going to tell you what
3:07:42
it smells like. So tonight we're going to go
3:07:44
Speedy. We're going to go poops.
3:07:46
We're going to go fish. We're going to go me.
3:07:47
No, Jabba tonight. We love you, Jabba.
3:07:49
We'll see you on Monday. I'll see you this weekend.
3:07:52
Here we go. All right, so I'll start off in
3:07:55
a with a university in the state that Nissan lives in right now
3:07:57
and that is Rutgers University. A report came out of just how
3:08:01
much they've lost since they've joined the Big 10 since it's
3:08:04
2014, 2015 season. I guess power conferences are
3:08:07
not for everybody. They, their athletic department
3:08:09
has lost a combined $517 million.
3:08:12
This includes gaining $58.9 million media deal when the Big
3:08:17
10 obviously expanded back in 2024 and they've got $200
3:08:21
million with the increase with the Big 10 revenue.
3:08:24
And amidst all that they stole net loss $517,000,000.
3:08:28
And they obviously have some good coaches within their
3:08:31
program now with Greg Schiano with their football team, but he
3:08:33
got a big contract and Steve Pykel with the with the
3:08:35
basketball team. But still it hasn't gotten to
3:08:37
many places. Their athletic programs have not
3:08:40
really amounted to much in the Big 10.
3:08:42
Not the same football powerhouses in the past when
3:08:44
they were one of the good group of five schools in the past when
3:08:47
they had Ray Rice in those teams.
3:08:49
So what does that smell like? I'm going to because it's New
3:08:51
Jersey. We got to keep a Nithin theme
3:08:52
and it smells like 517 Scarlet Knights, the bloodshed of them
3:08:57
when they've just been defeated by Nathan's leash.
3:09:03
Well, all right, sweetie, Always with his very, very interesting
3:09:08
smells. I'm going to be going over to
3:09:10
some NFL and I'm going to be talking and poking fun a little
3:09:12
bit, specifically at wide receiver Tyler Lockett.
3:09:15
Not too much fun, only because I actually do really enjoy this
3:09:18
guy. I've always, I've always thought
3:09:19
this guy was a pretty good wide receiver.
3:09:21
Tyler Lockett. However, it's more of the UN
3:09:24
series of unfortunate events because his entire career, his
3:09:28
entire tenure, has solely been sandwiched in between the
3:09:32
Seahawks 2 Super Bowl appearances.
3:09:35
He got onto the team the year right after they lost to the
3:09:37
Patriots, and just this year he exited to the Titans right
3:09:41
before the Seahawks go right back to the Super Bowl 10 years
3:09:44
after, basically. Even on top of that, he didn't
3:09:47
have that great of a year. You know, he actually was with
3:09:49
the Titans, got only started one game, played seven games, got
3:09:53
traded mid season, and only caught one touchdown pass the
3:09:56
entire year on the Raiders. I mean, that's not entirely like
3:10:00
surprising. The Raiders are absolute
3:10:01
garbage. But yeah, it's, it's kind of,
3:10:03
it's kind of heartbreaking. To see grumpy old man.
3:10:05
Somewhat with Tyler Locky, you know, he was such a good player,
3:10:07
like I said, over in the early days in Seattle, and it's
3:10:09
somewhat hard to see that now. He's just not going to be able
3:10:12
to play in the. Super Bowl.
3:10:13
So what does it smell like? Well, it smells like whatever
3:10:17
those nasty ass avocado martinis that Tom Brady was over there
3:10:21
drinking when he was celebrating in.
3:10:23
Syria. I don't know what avocado
3:10:26
martinis smell like, but they have to smell like avocado ass.
3:10:29
I hope not. There we go.
3:10:32
That's. That's yeah.
3:10:33
All right, I'll go. This story is a doozy.
3:10:38
So you remember the honey badger, Errol?
3:10:40
Yes, I do. So the honey badger opened up on
3:10:43
his. Podcast I heard about.
3:10:44
This in the in the Bayou with Tehran, Matthew in about 18
3:10:50
minutes and he said he nearly died drinking bleach in an
3:10:55
attempt to pass a drug test at LSU.
3:11:00
Apparently, he'd been searching a way to pass the test when he
3:11:03
suggestion online said to drink Coca-Cola with a little bit of
3:11:09
bleach mixed into it. I ended up throwing that S up,
3:11:14
Matthew said. And at that point I'm like, man,
3:11:17
F it. I've run out of tricks.
3:11:19
I don't know what to do. I remember sitting in front of
3:11:22
that building with an effing cap full of bleach and a Coke
3:11:25
bottle, and I thought that was going to save my life.
3:11:28
It didn't. It backfired.
3:11:32
He, as you remember, got in trouble in that year.
3:11:35
I guess this is probably part of the reason why we're finding out
3:11:39
today. He ended up getting taken in the
3:11:43
third round, obviously went on to have a fantastic career in
3:11:46
the NFL Hall of Fame. I guess he can look back and
3:11:48
laugh at it now. But yeah, I mean, that's just
3:11:53
one of the all time dumb things kids do.
3:11:57
Like just the worst thing you can do.
3:11:59
I actually had a kid that I taught and I obviously not in
3:12:01
the names just like 10 years ago, but I tried to get him to
3:12:04
play football and he told me he couldn't.
3:12:06
He had a medical and I was like, what do you mean he had a
3:12:08
medical? He's like, yeah, I have a hole
3:12:09
in my stomach because I drank bleach in middle school.
3:12:12
I was like, OK, you don't have to play for me.
3:12:14
I that's completely fine. Obviously.
3:12:17
What does this smell like? Well, it smells like that
3:12:20
chlorine smell of bleach of. Course it's not about something
3:12:24
else in your pants. I mean, that's a little bit like
3:12:26
that too. Well, I mean, Can you imagine
3:12:29
like, I guess he had a lot at stake back in those days and
3:12:33
there was no NIL money back then, you know.
3:12:36
We should ask him. I don't know, maybe we'll get
3:12:38
him on the show. All right, My final or the
3:12:42
final. What's that smell is very
3:12:43
interesting story and it has to go with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
3:12:47
Dalton Wasserman. Wasserman from Football Pro
3:12:51
Football Focus recently published an update mock draft
3:12:55
that has the Steelers taking Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson
3:13:00
in the first round. This is not expected to be a
3:13:05
deep quarterback class, and Fernando Mendoza and Simpson
3:13:08
could be the only two first round passers.
3:13:12
Regarding Simpson and the Steelers, Wasserman offered the
3:13:15
following Pittsburgh recently hired Mike McCarthy.
3:13:19
Will that inevitable me be mean that fuel speculations that
3:13:25
Aaron Rodgers will return? Even if Rodgers does return, the
3:13:29
Steelers still need to identify a long term a long term solution
3:13:34
at the quarterback position. Opinions on Alabama's Ty Simpson
3:13:38
vary, but he he But he posted an 81.4 PFF passing grade while
3:13:47
leading the FBS with 30 big time throws in his alone season with
3:13:54
the Crimson Tide. Wow.
3:13:58
Not surprised that the Pittsburgh Steelers are drafting
3:14:00
another quarterback in the first round.
3:14:03
A little bit late and it's probably going to fail.
3:14:06
Nobody wants Ty. Ty is only going into this
3:14:10
year's draft because it makes him, makes teams wonder about
3:14:15
him. Think about it, it's just
3:14:17
Mendoza going into the first round and now he is the only
3:14:21
other quality quarterback as far as statistics would tell you
3:14:25
that could be possibly a first round talent and that's why he
3:14:29
decided to go and not go back to college and get a little bit
3:14:32
better with Alabama. You know what it smells like?
3:14:34
It smells like the Crimson Tides mascot taking a dump.
3:14:38
How's that? That's about it.
3:14:40
I mean, honestly, I don't know what Ty Simpson's going to be or
3:14:45
I really don't. I know that Mike McCarthy got
3:14:47
this job one because he's from Pittsburgh 2, because Aaron
3:14:51
Rodgers is there and Aaron Rodgers he plans to bring back
3:14:55
and he wants to bring in a young quarterback to play behind him.
3:14:57
I just don't know if Simpson is the perfect fit.
3:15:01
The only reason why he's going in this year's draft, if he went
3:15:04
in next year's draft class, he's a third round draft.
3:15:07
He's the third round draft pick. He is going into this year's
3:15:10
draft pick draft draft because he is automatically a first
3:15:14
round talent because of how bad this quarterback class is.
3:15:18
So good for him. Sellers decided to go back.
3:15:22
Moore decided to go back. That next year's class is
3:15:26
loaded, absolutely loaded for quarterback.
3:15:29
So I guess that's where The Jets will be searching for their
3:15:32
future. Hopefully they don't search too
3:15:34
long. Anyways, that's it for a show.
3:15:36
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to give a shout out to Jabba
3:15:38
Chamberlain. Hopefully he made it here in New
3:15:41
York. OK, I will be talking to him.
3:15:44
But Jabba will be back on Monday.
3:15:46
For all the fans, if they're wondering where he is, he flew
3:15:49
from Nebraska to New York. So we love you, Jabba.
3:15:51
We'll see you on Monday. Well, at least they'll see you
3:15:54
on Monday. I'll probably see you this
3:15:55
weekend. But yeah, thank you to Foyer
3:15:59
Lulican for joining us. He was fantastic.
3:16:01
Thank you, Foyer. You always great.
3:16:03
And everything that you gave us tonight just tells you how great
3:16:07
of a personality you are. And maybe you don't or you
3:16:10
haven't been interested in playing Twister.
3:16:12
So anyways, anyways, maybe he'll play play your Twister with his
3:16:18
wife tonight. Maybe I should, I should buy the
3:16:21
game for him and just send it to him.
3:16:22
That would be funny, actually. I'll be like, hey, hey foyer,
3:16:26
can I send you a gift? I.
3:16:28
Put Josh Allen's face instead of like a color.
3:16:30
That's a good idea. Put Josh Allen's face on the
3:16:33
spinning. The spinning thing, you know.
3:16:35
Right hand Josh's face. Yeah, that's right.
3:16:38
Now, now, now, the real question.
3:16:40
What's more likely Foyer playing Twister with Josh Allen?
3:16:42
Are you playing Twister with Travis the Gremlin Hunter?
3:16:45
I think you're better off playing Foyer and Josh Allen.
3:16:48
I. Mean honestly just don't add any
3:16:50
water. Could you imagine me and Mikey
3:16:52
see playing Twister? I mean.
3:16:55
I I got kill him before the the game is over.
3:16:57
Oh, I called. Him.
3:16:58
I thought you were going to kill him.
3:16:59
Man, I called it, it was yelling.
3:17:01
I called it, it was yellow, foot on foot on foot on yellow.
3:17:04
I'm 90% right. The the problem with Mike is,
3:17:07
and I want, I want all the fans to understand something about
3:17:11
Mikey C. There's a lot of me and him have
3:17:13
a lot of love for each other, all right?
3:17:15
We're brothers. And I've always looked up to him
3:17:18
because he's a little bit older. And we became friends because of
3:17:21
a friend. Mikey C is so full of shit.
3:17:25
OK, that guy's got more shit coming out of his ass then you
3:17:30
could probably buy. You know, when you're trying to
3:17:34
fertilize your, your, your grass every single summer, All right,
3:17:38
That is a bunch of dog crap. All right?
3:17:41
He has one bets. There's no question that he has
3:17:44
$2000. He's on drugs and as far as I'm
3:17:48
concerned, 90%, right, 40% right.
3:17:51
You know, when it comes to me and him betting each other, at
3:17:54
most 40%, right? So for him to come up and say
3:17:58
that he's 90%, right, that's a joke, That's a lie.
3:18:01
I mean, Speedy's been around us for a while, Speedy.
3:18:04
Nobody is 90% right. He is not 90% right and I would
3:18:09
admit I am not. I would say I'm 60% right on a
3:18:13
lot of my takes. I'm not always right.
3:18:16
Well, Mikey, with our arguments over the years, I have been more
3:18:19
right than wrong with him. OK, And if anybody goes back and
3:18:23
listens to our show, they would admit to it.
3:18:25
Now Mikey has this. I mean, fans have a love fest
3:18:28
for Mikey because he likes to stick Oreo cookies up his ass.
3:18:31
I have no idea what kind of fetish this guy has and having
3:18:34
girls eat it out of his ass, it's pretty damn disgusting.
3:18:38
But that's Mikey. That's his way of picking up
3:18:41
girls. I've never heard anything like
3:18:43
it, but that's what he brags about, so good for him.
3:18:46
I'm not sticking Oreo cookies up my ass for nobody.
3:18:49
Anyways, that's Mikey. But I love him.
3:18:51
Mikey, you know I love you. But 70% right or I don't even.
3:18:56
He said 90. I wouldn't even say 70.
3:18:58
I would say about 35.8. All right, so I'll give you
3:19:02
something. Anyways, that's it for a show.
3:19:04
Ladies and gentlemen, Speedy, who do we have on next?
3:19:06
Week. Nothing yet.
3:19:07
Next week. All right, so we'll make an
3:19:09
announcement when we know Thank you to all the guys that work on
3:19:13
the show. You guys do such a great job and
3:19:15
the show wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for all of
3:19:18
you That goes for you scoops, obviously fish and obviously you
3:19:22
speedy. You guys do such a a good job on
3:19:25
on building the back end of the stuff and and making sure that
3:19:28
the show is as professional as it possibly could be.
3:19:31
So thank you to you guys. We love you keep up the good
3:19:34
work. I will never I will never ever,
3:19:40
ever, ever, ever take any pill that I don't know before a show
3:19:45
again, because I'm going to tell you this right now.
3:19:48
How I got through this show is beyond me.
3:19:51
I I don't know. I am dead freaking tired and I
3:19:54
want to go to bed right after this.
3:19:55
So I I'm just happy I made it. I I and we ended on time too.
3:20:01
We ended a lot earlier than we usually do, so that's a pretty
3:20:04
good feat. So.
3:20:05
Again, I I couldn't this show wouldn't be as great as it is
3:20:10
and I couldn't have done it without any of you guys.
3:20:12
So thank you to all of you guys. Thank you to the fans, thank you
3:20:16
to everybody that tunes in and listen to our show.
3:20:18
Jamie Lee. I know he's listening to it
3:20:20
right now and all the fans snog all of them, all the the old
3:20:24
fans that have followed us since the beginning.
3:20:27
I I love you guys. I know I have my differences and
3:20:31
I have my take towards all of you guys sometimes on and off
3:20:34
the air. But, and, and Jeff, thank you
3:20:36
for calling and and Mikey, see, thank you for calling for giving
3:20:40
me all your crap. But it's it's, it's what makes
3:20:43
this show special. And I, I, I love all of you guys
3:20:46
and I don't want anybody to think that I, I always think I'm
3:20:49
right. I don't think I'm always right.
3:20:50
And I do eat crow. I don't sit there and Mikey
3:20:54
saying that it's finally that you're eating crow really,
3:20:57
because I've admitted many times you have never admitted when you
3:21:00
were wrong. You'll find excuses on to
3:21:03
dialing it up and and, and honestly, he should be a part of
3:21:07
dialing up because he dialed. He'd be great if that.
3:21:09
He'd be dialing up. He's already up.
3:21:12
He's just stays up. Yeah.
3:21:14
You wouldn't even need to get 5 stories, you just need to let
3:21:16
those two just roll with the whole.
3:21:18
Give me an axe and I'll chop them down, all right?
3:21:20
I mean, the guy's out of his mind, all right?
3:21:22
Absolutely out of control. But anyways, thank you to all
3:21:26
the guys and thank you to all the obviously Spotify and Apple
3:21:30
video and audio fans for downloading us as you always do.
3:21:34
We really appreciate you guys. All the X, all the Tik toks, the
3:21:37
Instagrams, job in the mouth, YouTube channel, job in the
3:21:41
mouth. We'll have a new YouTube channel
3:21:42
going up soon, so you guys will be in tune for that.
3:21:45
For all the New York fans out there that want to see our New
3:21:47
York takes, it'll be posted up on that that stand.
3:21:51
So yeah, it's been, it's been a crazy, crazy, crazy day, man.
3:21:56
Stress, all stress today. And like I said, I I made the
3:22:00
wrong decision. That's all I got to say.
3:22:03
A really, really wrong decision. I'm telling you, when you guys
3:22:06
were doing a sports minute, I, I just put my head back.
3:22:09
I seriously probably would have felt Harold.
3:22:11
Saying one of these, he's leaning.
3:22:12
Back I was leaning back, I was closing my eyes.
3:22:14
I was tried and foyer, you know, it's so funny because foyer when
3:22:18
he was smirking and stuff like that, I know he was watching me
3:22:20
close my eyes. So he didn't want to say that,
3:22:22
but I I it's it's tiring, man. I've never felt like this
3:22:26
before. So it feels like I'm like on a
3:22:28
muscle relaxer and I can't even like I'm I'm surprised like my
3:22:33
tongue's not hanging out of my mouth right now.
3:22:35
Anyways, that's it, we will see you on Monday, until then, have
3:22:41
a good weekend. Enjoy.
3:22:43
Well, there's no football on this weekend because we have a,
3:22:46
you know, Super Bowl 60 next weekend and Nathan's flying over
3:22:50
there. So enjoy the ride and enjoy the
3:22:52
show. You mean we got the Pro Bowl
3:22:54
this week, don't we? A.
3:22:55
Wonderful Pro Bowl flag football.
3:22:57
I want to watch the door Sanders crash and burn.
3:23:00
I mean, he was already on there. I mean, Speedy, if you were
3:23:03
playing in the Pro Bowl, you wouldn't crash and burn.
3:23:05
I mean, come on, these guys. Don't give me something.
3:23:07
Don't give me. It's flag football.
3:23:09
It's. What I say it was flag football
3:23:11
before it was flag football. Yeah, it's it's the only flag
3:23:14
I'm going to be wearing is the one that's going to be up my ass
3:23:16
watching it. Anyways, that's it, ladies and
3:23:19
gentlemen. Got to go.
3:23:20
Good night, it. It is the worldwide sports radio
3:23:23
network, radio network, radio network.
