- 0:00If it is the worldwide sports radio network.
- 0:04The Ravens shocked the football world on Friday, sending 2 first
- 0:08round picks including #14 Overall this year for Raiders
- 0:12five time Pro Bowl defensive end and finalist for Defensive
- 0:15Player of the Year 2 years ago Max Crosby.
- 0:18New head coach Jesse Minter gets his elite pass rusher to turn
- 0:21around a Ravens defense that had the fewest sacks last year for
- 0:24the team's franchise record in the last 15 years, while Crosby
- 0:28gets a new start away from the headaches reported last week
- 0:31from TB 12, Alex Guerrero Guru and the Raiders tanking drama
- 0:36last year. The Ravens question that we all
- 0:38have to ask is did they pay too much for a player entering his
- 0:42age 29 season who has offseason meniscus cleanup on his To Do
- 0:46List this year? The Celtics got a shot in the
- 0:50arm on Friday with the return of superstar forward Jason Tatum,
- 0:54only a 10 months after tearing his Achilles tendon against the
- 0:57Knicks in the playoffs last season.
- 0:59In the two wins over the weekend for Boston, Tatum started to
- 1:02shake the rust off, playing more and better than most expected.
- 1:07As the NBA champion begins his way back to elite status for a
- 1:11playoff run with the Celtics this year, we asked how does
- 1:14Tatums return impact the Celtics who overachieved without them?
- 1:18And do the Knicks and the other teams at the top of the Eastern
- 1:21Conference suddenly have a much bigger bean town problem on
- 1:25their hands than expected? And before we enter caged in MMA
- 1:30to cover UFC 326 and crack a six pack with Speedy to recap

- 4:18was a beautiful day here in Long Island, New York.
- 4:21It was about 68°. We're almost at 70.
- 4:24There's still snow on the ground.
- 4:26It's like, I don't understand New York weather it one day it's
- 4:30freezing at night it's like 20°, and then all of a sudden in the
- 4:34next day it shoots up to 5868. Whatever it is, it doesn't make
- 4:38any sense. It's like the weather has a mind
- 4:40of its own. But it's been a pretty good
- 4:43weekend, especially for the WBC tonight you have Team USA that
- 4:47are two and oh and a WBC facing off against Mexico.
- 4:51So we will be in tuned in that game.
- 4:53So a lot to get into tonight. I I know everybody can't wait
- 4:57until the draft, which is what a couple of weeks away, April
- 5:0228th, 29th, I think it is this week this year.
- 5:05I don't know the exact date, but it's always around my birthday
- 5:08where it will be held in Pittsburgh this year.
- 5:11So the home of is it Aaron Rodgers?
- 5:14Who knows so but definitely Mike McCarthy, the new head coach
- 5:18over there and it's something to be excited about.
- 5:21I I don't even remember the last time it the the draft was in
- 5:24Pittsburgh. Is this the first time speedy
- 5:26it's in Pittsburgh. It usually is in New York, but
- 5:30over the last 10 years the NFL has spread it out and it's been
- 5:34in all different places. It's been in Wisconsin, It was
- 5:37in Green Bay I think last year and it's jumped Kansas City the
- 5:41year before that. So it's been all over the place.
- 5:44I don't know if it's ever been in Pittsburgh, but it's fun.
- 5:46Pittsburgh fans are great. It's a great crowd.
- 5:49I know a lot of people are going to be traveling and today there
- 5:53were a load of trades. We're going to get into it with
- 5:55the whip around for The Jets, a lot of signings and we're
- 5:58getting right into free agency where it's going to open up the
- 6:02floodgates. And if you're a Met Giant fan, I
- 6:04almost said Met, but Giants or Jet fan, you should be excited.
- 6:09There is an offseason to be had. And obviously the New York Jets
- 6:13are really fishing as as we've seen in the last 24 to 48 hours.
- 6:19And hopefully they'll catch some fish with some worms, because so
- 6:23I'm reading. It I'm reading it right now,
- 6:25technically this isn't the first time Pittsburgh has hosted it.
- 6:30They've hosted in 47, but it's the first time they've hosted it
- 6:34in this modern format. So yes, technically, this is the
- 6:37first time that Pittsburgh has hosted the NFL Draft to this
- 6:40magnitude. I figured it was this was
- 6:42probably the first time, but hey, listen, the Pittsburgh fans
- 6:46are crazy. You love those?
- 6:49Those what do they call those things?
- 6:51No, the flat. What do they call?
- 6:52It Terrible Towels Terrible. Towels, which will be everybody
- 6:55be waving and I'm sure they're going to make the NFL draft.
- 6:57Terrible Towels. So you'll see everybody excited
- 7:01to to go to Pittsburgh. A lot of different broadcasts
- 7:04will be held over there. ESPN, CBS and all the podcasting
- 7:10out there that you don't want to listen to what they're all going
- 7:12to be there, ladies and gentlemen.
- 7:14So it's an exciting time. March Madness is around the
- 7:17corner three weeks, 2 weeks away from March Madness.
- 7:20They're going to have the weekend next this Sunday
- 7:23actually is going to what do they call this selection Sunday
- 7:27and then the week right after that we're going to be starting
- 7:30that Thursday will be March Madness.
- 7:32So exciting time for a betting man or betting woman or or kids
- 7:37over the age of 18, I can bet. So you'll you'll be excited for
- 7:40that. You get a chance to see Cam
- 7:42Boozer and Peterson and the Beza.
- 7:45So it's this is a fun time for sports and golf and NASCAR is
- 7:52going crazy and all the NASCAR fans are going nuts because
- 7:55they're the racing has just begun.
- 7:57And I didn't realize around the country how big and how popular
- 8:00NASCAR is. And it's very, very big around
- 8:03the country. So a lot of people are excited.
- 8:05Michael Jordan's definitely excited because it's a race team
- 8:09is absolutely kicking butt. So it'll be fun it it's
- 8:12definitely a fun time for all you New York and fans around the
- 8:17country that are tuned in and ready to go and ready to listen
- 8:20to us. We will have our draft party
- 8:22this year. We're going to have a lot of
- 8:23special guests and it'll be fun. That's all I'm going to say.
- 8:27At 8:00, we'll be talking to former roughshod supply company
- 8:31and MLP content creator Jake Savicki.
- 8:34He's been on our show before. He's fantastic.
- 8:37He's got a great following on Instagram.
- 8:39He sells a lot of stuff all over the social media markets.
- 8:43He's very popular and and we like him.
- 8:45He's very popular with us. He's got some jokes.
- 8:48He knows his baseball. I would love to hear his take on
- 8:51the WBC and some of the the the rules and the changes and some
- 8:55of the mistakes. Some of these foreign team, what
- 8:58foreign teams that we've seen really early Brazil, England
- 9:02mistakes with the clock and all these other things that some of
- 9:05these young players, they haven't really been positioned
- 9:08to understand how the MLB is now working it.
- 9:10And there's been some interesting things that have
- 9:13happened during these games. And it doesn't bode well as
- 9:17baseball is trying to transition and change the game as we have
- 9:20complained about it over the last couple of years.
- 9:23So I'd love to get Rob Manford on the show and and and attack
- 9:26him on all my all my thoughts to all these different and
- 9:31ridiculous. Rules and then after that you
- 9:33you and Ryan Spader could tag team wrestle him.
- 9:35I don't know about if I'm going to tell, I'd like listen, I I
- 9:37don't think Ryan needs my help beating.
- 9:40Up I didn't say that, but that was your guys idea a while.
- 9:42What I'll do is I'll referee and I'll use and if, if, if Ryan
- 9:46gets into trouble, I'll take a chair and beat him on the head
- 9:48with it. You know, I'll beat Rob Manfred
- 9:50on the head with it. That'd be fun.
- 9:52I mean, I, I don't hate Rob Manfred.
- 9:54I just I don't understand his take on the different rule
- 9:58changes now they have what is the new rule they have this year
- 10:02that. You can challenge the AI.
- 10:04AI generated you could challenge.
- 10:07ABS system you could challenge. You could challenge strikes now
- 10:09and and balls, so I don't know how many times a game you can do
- 10:12that, but I I don't like it. I think it completely takes the
- 10:16the control out of the umpires hands.
- 10:19And I know a lot of people don't like umpires, but it's been
- 10:22around for hundreds over 100 years.
- 10:24Why are you going to change the game when it's worked for so
- 10:26many years? I would love to hear Rob
- 10:29Manfred's take on how he thinks this is going to benefit
- 10:31baseball. But hey, you know what, it's
- 10:33always, there's always room for change.
- 10:35I just don't know if it's it's well liked around the baseball
- 10:39world and I've talked to Nick Goody about it.
- 10:41I've talked to Jabba about it. I know people don't like these
- 10:44new rules. Jabba doesn't care about it, but
- 10:46and men, she's been on a show. He he likes it.
- 10:49Some people like it, but there are guys like Ryan Speeder.
- 10:51They absolutely think it's ridiculous.
- 10:53ESP NS. Adam Schefner reports that Las
- 10:55Vegas are The Las Vegas Raiders are trading Max Crosby to the
- 11:00Baltimore Ravens for two first round draft picks, including a
- 11:03#14 this year. The trade should help fix the
- 11:07Haven's biggest problem the last couple of years as they are on
- 11:12characteristically struggling on the defensive side of the ball,
- 11:15finishing with just 13 sacks, which was also ranked 30th in
- 11:20the NFL. They also had the 4th worst
- 11:23pressure rate and 5th worst pass rush rate, a win rate in the
- 11:28league. Crosby, who had made five
- 11:31straight pro balls, was a finalist for Defensive Player of
- 11:35the Year two years ago. Since Crosby entered the league
- 11:39in 2019, he is the first overall in both tackles for losses and
- 11:45solo tackles, second in quarterback pressures and hits
- 11:49and fifth in sacks among all NFL defensive lineman.
- 11:53In in. In order for the Ravens to cough
- 11:56up to first round draft picks, the Raiders will take on all the
- 12:00remaining guaranteed 29 million in his contract with the Ravens.
- 12:05Only take on four years worth of non guaranteed cap hits raging
- 12:12between 26.5 and 30 million per season.
- 12:15ESPN Diane Rusini reports that Crosby had his eye on being
- 12:20traded to the Cowboys, Patriots, Jack Rose or Ravens before the
- 12:25deal was made. ESP NS Jeremy Fowler reports
- 12:27that the Cowboys had a big offer for Crosby as well, centered
- 12:32around their first round pick this year and second round pick
- 12:36in 2027. And defensive tackle.
- 12:39How do you pronounce his? Name Odigazua.
- 12:41Odigazua OSA Odigazua Fowler also mentioned that Tom Brady
- 12:47was unwilling to send Crosby to the Patriots and Mike Frabel no
- 12:53matter what the asking price was for Crosby, who last year made
- 12:59his desired, made his desire to be traded very public with a
- 13:04story about Tom Brady and his long time trainer and partner
- 13:08Alex Guerrero causing issues behind the scenes in Vegas last
- 13:12year in his role as the Wellness coordinator.
- 13:17Well, ladies and gentlemen, we we kind of got into this last
- 13:20week when the trade happened. And I know everybody's going to
- 13:24sit here and argue what the Raiders are doing, but the
- 13:29Raiders are going to rebuild. They have a new coach, a rookie
- 13:32coach that has no experience as a head coach, successful wins
- 13:38the Super Bowl as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle
- 13:40Seahawks this past year. We understand what a new regime
- 13:45is going to bring to the table. Tom Brady is running the show.
- 13:48Obviously, you can see it. I don't know if I have to spread
- 13:52the the thought to it because everybody knows my opinion
- 13:55towards it. And this whole Guerrero thing,
- 13:59the Wellness coordinator, which makes no sense.
- 14:01No team has a Wellness coordinator throughout any
- 14:05organization in the NFL. But guess what the Raiders
- 14:07don't? Tom Brady TB 12 The fact here is
- 14:15Max Crosby is a likable person, very liked by the Raider fans.
- 14:19This was the one superstar they had that everybody cheers for.
- 14:23Everybody in the league, everybody in the world knows who
- 14:26Max Crosby is. The tattoo assassin who goes out
- 14:31there and tries to rip your head off has a great style when it
- 14:34comes to fashion. As we all know, certain players
- 14:37have said this guy is one of the best dressers in all of the NFL.
- 14:41But this is also a guy that has his opinion.
- 14:45And even though he's a very likable person, he's not in
- 14:50control of the Raiders organization.
- 14:51Tom Brady is, and so is Davis. And Tom Brady is making the
- 14:55decisions. Say whatever you want.
- 14:57The NFL has created this big problem.
- 15:01The NFL gave the likes of Tom Brady an option to be an owner
- 15:09of the Raiders, 10% owner of the Raiders, and has given Davis an
- 15:13opportunity to give him control, Tom Brady control with this
- 15:17organization. It doesn't matter if the Raiders
- 15:20have AGM because guess what? Tom Brady is the GM.
- 15:24He's the GM. He's the highest paid analyst
- 15:26right now in the NFL, making about $40 million as a
- 15:30broadcaster for Fox. Who's better than Tom Brady?
- 15:35Nobody. Tom Brady is liked by everybody
- 15:40and shamed by nobody. But Crosby did not receive Tom
- 15:47Brady as a liking for the Raiders organization.
- 15:52As a matter of fact, Max Crosby couldn't stand Tom Brady,
- 15:56doesn't like the fact that Tom Brady is running an organization
- 16:00that has been run to the ground too many times by GMs, coaches
- 16:04and ownership. And the fact here is the Raiders
- 16:11are trying to recreate the wheel.
- 16:15They think they could go into this year's draft with all these
- 16:18draft picks and find a pass rusher as good as Crosby.
- 16:21Crosby Let's be honest, Jon Gruden is the one that drafted
- 16:29this kid. He's the one who found Crosby in
- 16:32the later rounds. Crosby.
- 16:33What was he, A fifth round draft pick?
- 16:34Out of Eastern Michigan. Nobody knew who Max Crosby was.
- 16:39Nobody. But the development of Max
- 16:42Crosby came from no other than Jon Gruden, who's one of the
- 16:47more smarter evaluators when it comes to talent in NFL history.
- 16:52As we know about the quarterbacks and the quarterback
- 16:55camps that he has every single offseason.
- 16:58And some of the guys that he's training, One of them who could
- 17:01be a top three pick in Reese, who is very well liked
- 17:04throughout the NFL and the league, depending on where he
- 17:07gets drafted, he could be a very valued piece to an organization.
- 17:13I don't care if Diane Rusini is making making her thoughts be
- 17:18heard or Adam Schefner. Nobody knows what's going inside
- 17:22the Raiders locker room but the Raiders.
- 17:26And obviously it's not coming from one player, it's coming
- 17:29from many. We've had two of them on our
- 17:32show that's from Long Island. We've had the conversation.
- 17:35They're not going to throw the organization under the bus.
- 17:37But guess what? They know where the Raiders are
- 17:38going at their number one pick. I mean, it's it's definitely
- 17:42stuck over the last couple of weeks.
- 17:44Actually for the last two months, it's stuck because we
- 17:48know who the national champion is.
- 17:49We know who the Heisman Trophy winner is and that's where
- 17:52they're going. That's why they lost the last
- 17:54four games. That's why they gave up.
- 17:56That's why they put Max Crosby on the IR.
- 17:59That's why they put guys like Brock Bowers on the IR, because
- 18:04they didn't want to listen. They didn't want to win the last
- 18:07couple of games of the season because guess what?
- 18:09If they won one of those games, The Jets would be drafting at
- 18:13one. And guess where the Heisman
- 18:14Trophy in Fernando Mendoza would be going?
- 18:16That would be the New York Jets. If I was Max Crosby, I'm not
- 18:23even saying goodbye to the Raiders organization.
- 18:26Some of his players, obviously he's going to reach out to them
- 18:29and he's going to tell them that, you know, he loves them.
- 18:31The Raider fans, he's a very respectful guy.
- 18:34He went on social media when he was traded.
- 18:36I don't know if everybody's checked out his social media.
- 18:39He he gave a nice little letter out there to the Raider fans
- 18:43and, and told the Raider fans how much he loved being there
- 18:46and playing and being a superstar there and, and playing
- 18:49his heart out for this organization all these years.
- 18:54Jon Gruden said it best and he said it over the weekend.
- 18:57This is a catastrophic, catastrophic move for the
- 19:01Raiders organization. This is going to set the Raiders
- 19:05back defensively for the next 5 to 10 years to have a player
- 19:09this good. Yeah, he's 28 years old.
- 19:11He's in the prime of his career. He causes more problems at the
- 19:14line of scrimmage than probably him. 90 percent, 95% of the
- 19:19defensive lineman in the league. There might be two guys I would
- 19:22take over 2 and they're in the same division as him and Miles
- 19:29Garrett and Mr. Watt. Those are the only two guys I
- 19:34would take over him. I would take him over Michael
- 19:37Parsons because guess what? I have seen more health in the
- 19:41last couple of years with Crosby than I have seen with Michael
- 19:45Parson. And Michael Parson was out a
- 19:46whole season last year after getting the money that he got.
- 19:49He was the highest paid defensive lineman in all of
- 19:51football last year, but and he only played what, 7-8 games
- 19:55before he heard his ACL towards ACL?
- 19:58I think it was his ACL, right? Yeah, it was.
- 20:00His Achilles, Yeah, it was against the Bears, so.
- 20:02Was it his Achilles or ACL? It was it was, it was multiple
- 20:05injuries. I think it was the ACL and LCL.
- 20:07I believe it. Was it was his ACL?
- 20:08I just want to know if it's a knee problem.
- 20:10It wasn't the the Achilles because it's been a big problem
- 20:14right now in the NFL for injuries.
- 20:15It's either an Achilles or an ACL.
- 20:18Those are the big ones because you're at a significant amount
- 20:20of time more for the Achilles than you are for the ACL.
- 20:23You could come back. We've seen Adrian Peterson come
- 20:25out, come back in eight months, and now we're seeing a guy like
- 20:29Tatum, which we'll get into a little bit later, coming back as
- 20:31quick as he did as a basketball player.
- 20:33That's like 10 months, which is really fast for a guy that's
- 20:37jumping and using his legs 90% of the time.
- 20:42But you look at the trade and I know everybody's looking at the
- 20:44Cowboys. Oh, the Cowboys could have
- 20:46landed. He was never going to the
- 20:47Cowboys. He was never going to the
- 20:49Jaguars. We said it, it was either the
- 20:52Buccaneers. The Ravens were definitely a
- 20:54team that prioritized the defensive line help because they
- 20:58haven't had a defensive lineman this good since Suggs, since the
- 21:03Ray Ray Lewis time. I mean, think about it.
- 21:06You have a guy, and if I wish John Harbaugh, I would be pissed
- 21:10off because he's been asking for a defensive lineman, a guy that
- 21:14can get at the quarterback for years and they never could have.
- 21:18For some reason, the Ravens didn't want to go after one or
- 21:20didn't want to spend the money or didn't want to trade away any
- 21:23pieces to get a a guy this good. This is the same thing on my
- 21:27story on a worldwide sports radio network on why I attacked.
- 21:31I had my Max Crosby story that I posted I think on Friday after
- 21:35this trade happened and I said that the Giants did the same
- 21:41thing to Tom Coughlin, ran Tom Coughlin out.
- 21:45Tom Coughlin for two years asked the Giants get me some defensive
- 21:49line out, I'll win you another Super Bowl.
- 21:52Eventually the Odell Beckham saw Odell Beckham style sago,
- 21:56whatever whatever happened with him and Odell Beckham pushed a
- 22:02guy like Tom Coughlin out. And it, it hasn't been as good
- 22:06for the New York Giants since then.
- 22:07The Giants have been a bad run organization since TomTom
- 22:11Coughlin parted ways with them. And that's almost 14 years of
- 22:14football, 13 years it's been bad.
- 22:21And we, we know Tom Coughlin. We've, I've interviewed Tom
- 22:23Coughlin twice. He doesn't want to throw the
- 22:27Giants under the bus. And I'm going to tell you this
- 22:29right now, I'm sure Max Crosby, as much as he can't stand Tom
- 22:33Brady or Davis or the Davis family or the Raiders
- 22:37organization, I don't think Max Crosby Crosby is going to go out
- 22:40of his way to throw this organization under the bus
- 22:42because I believe Max Crosby is professional.
- 22:47But this is a horrible story because you have this guy who's
- 22:50as good as anybody at his position in the league, anybody.
- 22:54You don't get rid of players like this.
- 22:57You don't. These guys are untouchable.
- 22:59A pass rusher this dominant, a top five pass rusher.
- 23:03These guys don't grow on trees. He looks like a tree, but he
- 23:07doesn't grow like 1. This is horrible.
- 23:12This is horrible for Raider Nation.
- 23:14Raider Nation's not happy about this, I'm sure of it.
- 23:17They're not happy about this and you're going into a season where
- 23:21there's a lot of questions on the defensive side of ball.
- 23:24You're going to trust in on young defensive lineman that you
- 23:26could draft. If somehow you get, you move up
- 23:29and you get maybe a Reuben Bane or any of these guys, whoever it
- 23:33is, maybe you get 2 of them. None of them are going to be Max
- 23:37Crosby. None of them.
- 23:40It's like the Cowboys trading away Micah Parsons.
- 23:45Losing Micah Parsons hurt their pass rush significantly.
- 23:50Now they did add Quinton Williams in the at the trade
- 23:53deadline. They added pieces.
- 23:55Their defensive line is semi good, but not anywhere close to
- 24:00as good as it was when Michael Parsons there.
- 24:02When you got a game, game changing player of that
- 24:04magnitude, you don't just say sayonara, we don't need you.
- 24:08We're going to trade you for two first round draft picks because
- 24:10it's a crapshoot. You don't know what that guy's
- 24:13going to be or those guys are going to be in the future.
- 24:17You can only hope that these guys are going to transform into
- 24:20a a Max Crosby type of player or an Anderson type of player.
- 24:24Anderson was the number one picker #2 pick in the draft.
- 24:27Those guys don't grow on trees. When you get a guy like Crosby
- 24:30in the fifth round and somehow he turns into a star very I
- 24:34guess Seattle like you don't let those guys go.
- 24:41And this guy, the same thing that's happened with the New
- 24:43York Jets. When you're a bad organization,
- 24:46these players don't want to be there anymore.
- 24:48They don't want to lose anymore. Crosby's best time and best, you
- 24:53know, best type of best time for his career right now is now he's
- 24:58in the prime of his career. He could dominate right now.
- 25:01He complete completely change a game.
- 25:04One player could change a game at like Crosby.
- 25:08They don't have players like that over there in Raider
- 25:11Nation. They don't.
- 25:12I'm sorry, Raider fans, you should not be excited.
- 25:15I don't care how much draft stock.
- 25:16I don't care if you have Fernando Mendoza or not.
- 25:19Fernando Mendoza is not going to be happy to lose a leader like
- 25:22Max Crosby. That highly profile player of
- 25:26that magnitude, Devante Adams, came out on social media, was
- 25:30shocked. Devante Adams was let go, traded
- 25:36away by the Raiders for practically nothing to the New
- 25:40York Jets. Devante Adams was one game away
- 25:44from going to a Super Bowl last year with the Rams.
- 25:47He never even got close to making the playoffs.
- 25:49I don't believe with that that Raider team.
- 25:55The problem here is, is yes, players have their own outlook
- 25:59and thought to where the organization is going.
- 26:02But when you have a player this highly profiled, you don't just
- 26:04push him out. You try to figure out what is
- 26:07wrong. You get Tom Brady in a room.
- 26:09That's what I would have done if I was Davis.
- 26:12I get Tom Brady, Guerrero and my guy Max Crosby in a room and I
- 26:18tell, I tell Tom Brady, listen, this is my guy.
- 26:22This is my franchise player. I want him to be here for life.
- 26:27What do I have to do to get you guys to see eye to eye before I
- 26:32made the move in trading or or deciding to part ways with Pete
- 26:35Carroll? I'm going to my best player.
- 26:38I'm going to Crosby and saying, do you think Pete Carroll's the
- 26:42guy that's going to take us to the promised land?
- 26:46Max will be honest. You're bringing in an offensive
- 26:51coordinator, a new offensive coordinator to another
- 26:56organization that has had many of those guys.
- 27:00Do we want to go back on some of the coaches they've had?
- 27:03Practically all new guys besides Big Carroll.
- 27:05Think about it. Antonio Pierce, new coach,
- 27:10didn't work out. John Gruden was the only one
- 27:14him, and I would say Josh McDaniel, I wouldn't even say
- 27:19that. Yeah, I was going to say he got
- 27:21he has negative experience. He has no experience because it
- 27:23didn't work out with the Broncos.
- 27:25What did he have two years over? There.
- 27:26Yeah, that one playoff year where Tim Tebow saved.
- 27:28Him. I wouldn't even say McDaniel has
- 27:30any experience because the guy is an idiot.
- 27:33He's not a good coach. He's an offensive coordinator.
- 27:37And I'm not saying their young coach that they brought in from
- 27:40Seattle is going to be a bad choice, but the bets have showed
- 27:48you that they don't work out over there in Raiderville.
- 27:51It doesn't work. And they'll lose a five time Pro
- 27:55Bowler at this high rate and, and, and a guy that is very
- 27:59likable. If I was a Raider fan, I would
- 28:03just completely, I'm not watching, I'm not watching
- 28:05football this year. I can't sit and watch this team
- 28:08completely humiliate themselves as I believe now going into a
- 28:13season where you're going to have a bunch of rookies on the
- 28:16defensive side of the ball. Yeah, you could bring it free
- 28:18agents. Nobody as good as a guy like
- 28:20Crosby. You're going to bring in a
- 28:21veteran guy. You're going to bring a
- 28:22Hendrickson. Is he?
- 28:23Did he get signed yet? No, maybe you're bringing a
- 28:26Hendrickson. He's a good player.
- 28:28He's not Max Crosby. I mean, this is a complete turn
- 28:33off for Raider fans. I apologize.
- 28:35I feel bad for you guys. Tom Brady, who's got a lot of
- 28:40clout, a lot of respect through ownerships and players
- 28:45throughout the league because he's like, oh, as everybody
- 28:48calls him and he has the NF LS ear because the NFL changes
- 28:53rules for yes, Mr. Tom Brady TB 12.
- 28:57Yep, and the one thing you can't change the rules for is the fact
- 29:00that he can only be go so far with his ego as an owner and get
- 29:05other guys from other organizations to be able to
- 29:07trust you. And Josh McDaniels, obviously he
- 29:10wasn't there with Brady directly at the time, but I'm sure there
- 29:12was influence over there when Brady was buying into the team
- 29:15that McDaniels gave him the seal of approval.
- 29:18And now you're trying to get this kind of thing to work in
- 29:20another area where we know the quote UN quote Patriot way
- 29:23doesn't work in other places very often.
- 29:25And now you're creating a really bad idea of, all right, what Tom
- 29:29Brady says goes, and that's going to deter a lot of these
- 29:32other guys to want to stay there.
- 29:33And Max Crosby came from that Jon Gruden era, that old school
- 29:37type physical philosophy that they were trying to bring there.
- 29:39And even when Gruden obviously had the issues with the scandal
- 29:42and had to resign, they kept that mentality with that season
- 29:45and they made the playoffs. And yet they just decided to
- 29:47undo everything based on that. And I'm sure Max Crosby even to
- 29:50that point, was getting frustrated.
- 29:52Same thing that you mentioned with Devante Adams.
- 29:53Devante Adams never wanted to leave Las Vegas.
- 29:56He liked it, the idea of the mindset over there until guess
- 29:59who came over there, Tom Brady, and he deterred Devante Adams
- 30:03and going there. Who says that?
- 30:04Brock Bowers or Gente or Colton Miller, any of the other good
- 30:08players, the few good players they have left are going to not
- 30:11think the same way because they're going to have to make
- 30:13decisions on these guys and it creates a bad vibe.
- 30:16Yeah, Fernando Mendoza could be the leader that I know.
- 30:19Chris Collier believes he definitely could be.
- 30:21And again, we'll see down the road if he's left the kind of
- 30:24way with the NFL, but it's not going to be 1 player that's
- 30:27going to save a whole franchise and trust all these other
- 30:30players who want to come there. And as a result, you see
- 30:32somebody like Crosby who wanted to stay there his whole career.
- 30:35He said he wanted to be a Raider for life back in 2024, even when
- 30:39Brady was still trying to finalize the deal.
- 30:40And what happened, they did everything wrong in order to not
- 30:43keep him there. And like you said, bad teams now
- 30:45have to, I guess, pay either pay the tax of not having to overpay
- 30:49for players who want to come there like the Browns have had
- 30:51to do, like The Jets have had to do because of these bad
- 30:53ownership. And now you're adding another
- 30:55ego like Mark Davis with Tom Brady.
- 30:58But this is this is what happens when the NFL steps in and allows
- 31:02an organization to bring in a former player that's very light.
- 31:07And I understand he's a special player.
- 31:08He's going to always be considered one of the greatest
- 31:11players of all time because of what he's done in the NFL.
- 31:14This guy was a six round draft pick and he was really
- 31:19handpicked by Bill Belichick and and the Patriot organization.
- 31:23And for some reason they think that he can recreate the Bill
- 31:26Belichick era with the New England Patriots when he was the
- 31:30quarterback. That doesn't happen.
- 31:32I'm sorry for all the fans out there.
- 31:34As much as Tom Brady is a special player and what what he
- 31:37did in the NFL was incredible, he is not Bill Belichick.
- 31:41He is not the Patriots organization and the Patriots
- 31:43organization, which was very, very bad before Tom Brady came
- 31:47there and Bill Belichick really took over.
- 31:49Yeah, he looks at the game a completely different way.
- 31:52Maybe he can recreate something of that creation that the
- 31:57Patriots did over the years, but we don't know who their
- 32:00quarterback is. And if Fernando Mendoza is not
- 32:02Tom Brady, nobody's Tom Brady. Those guys just don't find a way
- 32:07on your team. Yeah, Brock Purdy found his way
- 32:10at the last pick in the seventh round by the San Francisco
- 32:1349ers. What's Brock Purdy done?
- 32:14He's done nothing. He's never won a Super Bowl.
- 32:18That that's the facts. I I I'm just telling you guys
- 32:20the truth. Whatever you guys think or
- 32:22whatever Raider fan is sitting here and saying, oh, we don't
- 32:25need them. Are you crazy?
- 32:27I'm going to tell you this right now.
- 32:29You look at the Ravens last year and you look at him this year at
- 32:32the end of the season, they're going to be light years, light
- 32:36years better on the defensive side of the ball.
- 32:38Why? Because this guy is going to
- 32:40cause havoc on both sides of the line wherever they put him.
- 32:44Cuz this guy could play multiple positions, outside linebacker,
- 32:47defensive end. You can move him inside, you can
- 32:50make him push the pocket. He's a great run stopper as well
- 32:53as a good pass rusher. He's mean and he's evil on the
- 32:56line and he's a good team leader.
- 32:59Those guys don't grow on trees. Like I said, this guy is
- 33:04something of just he's unique. He's different.
- 33:09And again, Miles Garrett, why did he get all the money that he
- 33:12got at the tail end really in the the late prime of his
- 33:16career? What is it?
- 33:16Miles Garrett, 31, we got that contract.
- 33:19He's 31 years old. Usually pass rushers at at a top
- 33:23level play till they're 3334. Miles Garrett got $40 million a
- 33:27year. Why?
- 33:28Cuz he's the best pass rusher in the league.
- 33:30Watt got a big contract. Why did he get that?
- 33:32Because he's one of the best pass rushers in the league.
- 33:35Max Crosby has not made nearly as much as these two guys and
- 33:39he's just as good as them. So what does that tell you?
- 33:42And rave advance. You should be excited.
- 33:45You should be ecstatic to get a player like this cuz again, you
- 33:49haven't had a player like this for 10 years.
- 33:52Oh my God. John Harbaugh's probably
- 33:54crapping in his. Pants, right?
- 33:55Yeah. And the Ravens, they've been a
- 33:57very. I don't want to hear from Fish.
- 33:59Well, we got this guy, we got that guy.
- 34:02You don't have anything like this guy on the Giants.
- 34:04The Ravens have been such a stable organization with two
- 34:06really two positions they've really been lacking have been
- 34:08wide receiver and an edge rusher.
- 34:10They had a couple of good years with Matt Judon.
- 34:12They've had a couple draft picks that have come and gone and done
- 34:15well in the short term and nothing like that like it lists
- 34:17in the long term that has. Been they really loved Matt
- 34:20Judon, that's why they let him go.
- 34:22Right, it was only two years though.
- 34:23It wasn't a long term success rate.
- 34:24It was a guy that was injury prone.
- 34:26They had a couple other edge rushers at all field issues and
- 34:28now recently with their drafts. They Matt Judon couldn't stop
- 34:31the run. He was A1 dimensional guy.
- 34:32This guy, it can do everything, everything, everything, and he's
- 34:37a leader. Matt Judon caused trouble in the
- 34:40locker room everywhere he went. Matt Judon caused trouble in the
- 34:43locker room. Errol, I agree with you.
- 34:45I I never liked Judon's game. Judon's So like there's a few
- 34:48guys you can point to that were just these up the field pass
- 34:52rushers that if it was a passing situation, they got some status,
- 34:57but if you ran the ball at them, they just ran themselves out of
- 35:01the play every time and they were just terrible against a
- 35:04run. And I thought Judon for most of
- 35:06that, you know, like Raven's tenure, he was one of those guys
- 35:09who had lots of sacks but bad PFF scores because he didn't.
- 35:13And then he had a couple of good years in there, but he he was
- 35:16kind of like an empty stats guys, a little overrated.
- 35:19I thought Crosby does everything.
- 35:21Minter is no fool. I don't care.
- 35:24There's no first round pick that you're going to get in the prime
- 35:27of his career that can do a Crosby does.
- 35:29In fact, there aren't two of them.
- 35:30So that's why they gave two of them for this guy.
- 35:33Now, if I'm a Raiders fan, I'm a little pissed off that I have to
- 35:37pay his salary. That's all the guaranteed money
- 35:39left and have to give them up. I think that's crazy.
- 35:43I, I don't, I guess that was the deal.
- 35:45To get to 1st. You had to pay his entire
- 35:47salary. I don't know.
- 35:48I think I'd probably take a first and a second and make them
- 35:50pay. I think that's kind of crazy
- 35:52unless they're just like, well, whatever, we're going to suck
- 35:54anyway. What might as well pay now.
- 35:56You know, I but that's such a defeatist thing.
- 35:58Speedy, I I wanted you to think about this one.
- 36:01It's an offensive coach in Kubiak.
- 36:03Screw the defensive players, He's an offensive coordinator.
- 36:06Give me the toys. Give me the first round pick.
- 36:08So you know they're taking a receiver.
- 36:09Now with that other first round pick, it's going to be either
- 36:13the Arizona State kid or Lemon from USC.
- 36:16If Tates not there or they decide Tate drops maybe to the
- 36:19back half that. But what if tape drops to like
- 36:22he's not 8 or 9? Tate's not going further than
- 36:258:00. What if I?
- 36:25He's not going but. So, so say he's sitting there at
- 36:288 and you've got fourteen in the first pick of the second round,
- 36:33it's not a terrible thing to offer.
- 36:35And if you really want that guy, and I think it's real
- 36:38interesting what they're going to do, but I bet it's going to
- 36:39be a crazy offensive draft for them, but they're going to be
- 36:43really, really bad. On You know who Tate You know,
- 36:46and I'll say this, you know who Tate reminds me of?
- 36:48George Pickens. I've been watching Tate and his
- 36:51game and George Pickens. They're very, they're big guys.
- 36:54They're guys that'll go out there and get the ball.
- 36:56They have very strong hands. They're accurate.
- 36:59Tate can be acrobatic. He reminds me, Tate reminds me
- 37:03of a George Pickens. Now we'll see if he can develop.
- 37:05George Pickens was a second round draft pick.
- 37:07He could have been a first round draft pick, but because going
- 37:10into the draft, he was injury, he was injured.
- 37:12He fell to the second round to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 37:15Tate is not falling past the top 10.
- 37:17There's no way now he's too good for him him to fall.
- 37:20I know a lot of people don't want to believe it and they're
- 37:22saying, well, what makes him so good?
- 37:24He only ran a 4-5. I'm telling you right now, this
- 37:27guy is better than what his combine showed.
- 37:30Odell Beckham. He didn't have a great combine.
- 37:33Look how elusive and how explosive he was when he was
- 37:36drafted by the New York Giants. So I know everybody's going to
- 37:39perceive to think that Oh well, he's not this and he's not that,
- 37:43or maybe he's not as as fast as this guy.
- 37:45But guess what? We've seen this many, many times
- 37:48in the combine. The combine doesn't sell the
- 37:50player. The player sells the player.
- 37:52So that's all I'm going to say about that.
- 37:54I, I know everybody doesn't want to believe that Tate has
- 37:57anything or anywhere close to the talent that we've seen a lot
- 38:01of Ohio State Buckeye wide receivers come out of coming out
- 38:04of the draft were as good or better than he was.
- 38:08This guy might be as good as any one of them.
- 38:11They thought Harrison, Marvin Harrison junior was going to be
- 38:15such a great player. They said this guy was going to
- 38:17be as good or even better than his dad.
- 38:20And Marvin Harrison senior was one of the greatest wide
- 38:23receivers of all time. And so far we haven't seen
- 38:26anything. Yes, he's playing for Arizona.
- 38:28Yes, he had to deal with the third, the third person look
- 38:31alike, Kyla Murray. So we'll see how he reacts with
- 38:35a new quarterback and a new head coach.
- 38:37I, I mean, there, there's a lot of questions right now with
- 38:41Tate, but again, going back to the whole Crosby thing, Crosby
- 38:44is different. He's unique, he's special.
- 38:47And I, I just think if I was a Ravens fan, I'm laughing to the
- 38:51bank. I am laughing to the bank right
- 38:53now. You have two rookie coaches and
- 38:55you have one that a lot of people think is going to be so
- 38:58special because coming from the charges to one of the best young
- 39:01defensive coiners in all of the NFL.
- 39:04Two years back-to-back years with Jim Harbaugh.
- 39:06Now he goes over there to the Ravens taking over his brother's
- 39:09job. Think about it.
- 39:11If anybody doesn't know, he took over for his brother, Jim
- 39:14Harbaugh's brother and he goes over there with the Ravens.
- 39:17Now he gets Max Crosby as a consolation prize.
- 39:19I mean, what a prize? That's a, that's a gift, that's
- 39:22a Christmas gift, a birthday gift, a Valentine's Day gift.
- 39:26And I don't know, I, I guess an Easter gift because it's right
- 39:28around the corner. I, I mean everything actually,
- 39:31Saint Patty's gift too. So if he wants a parade, he
- 39:34should be parading and, and cheering over there in Raven
- 39:38Ravenville, because Lamar Jackson has his, has his coach
- 39:41that he wants. He doesn't have to deal with
- 39:43John Harbaugh's crap. And guess what?
- 39:45Every team that has to go over there, Baltimore, which is very
- 39:48hard to beat, has to contend with this guy in Max Crosby.
- 39:52Yeah, they have stars on their defense already.
- 39:53They just had a couple holes to fill.
- 39:55They have the best safety in football.
- 39:56Now they're the best safety in football.
- 39:57They have a top three middle linebacker in football and they
- 40:00have really good defensive interior.
- 40:01Defensive guys too. They just really need that edge
- 40:03guy. No, it's.
- 40:03Crazy. You know, it's crazy.
- 40:05We mentioned all these great, talented players that they have,
- 40:07the Ravens have, and what were they ranked defensively last
- 40:10year? Very low because they didn't
- 40:11lack. They lacked key positions like
- 40:13edge rusher and corner, and now they have the edge rusher.
- 40:15Because they have a good corner too.
- 40:16Yeah, they have a bunch of good second edge rushers, young guys,
- 40:18but they had never had a number one for a long.
- 40:20Time the Raiders are. I mean, the Ravens aren't done
- 40:22and they still have money, and I think they'll add a veteran
- 40:25corner. There's a couple of good veteran
- 40:27corners out there. How about this?
- 40:30I don't know if Woolen is still available, but if he is, I don't
- 40:35know what he's going to get in the open market.
- 40:37I don't know what the Ravens have still left, but don't be
- 40:40surprised if the Ravens make a move or make a pitch to Woolen
- 40:44to come over there and play as their number one corner over
- 40:46there with the Baltimore Ravens. Jamie Lee in the comments
- 40:50section. Ravens will line a shot.
- 40:51Yeah. They're still good, though.
- 40:52I think they'll they'll be fine. They need receiver.
- 40:54That's what they got to fix next.
- 40:55They're going to draft one in the second or third round, so
- 40:58they have a second round pick and Lemon could fall into the
- 41:01second round. If they want to move up they can
- 41:03get Lemon and Lemon would be Flowers is in the number one.
- 41:06We're going to find out right now on the Whip around whip.
- 41:14Whip, whip around. Mike Evans went to the San
- 41:17Francisco 49ers, who are apparently restarting their
- 41:23whole receiver situation over there.
- 41:25Iuke's gone. We know that.
- 41:27It looks like Jawan Jennings is going to be gone now as well.
- 41:30They signed Mike Evans three years 60 + 1,000,000 dollars,
- 41:34but likely it's more of of a two year deal.
- 41:37We just need to get this music down, Tommy.
- 41:40All right, The Chiefs signed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker to
- 41:453rd and the Panthers gave the guy who the Eagles got at the
- 41:50trade deadline, Jalen Phillips, a massive free agent contract.
- 41:54If you remember, he was on the Dolphins before traded mid
- 41:57season. Panthers trying to make a real
- 42:00run and make the defense as good as that offense.
- 42:03All right, I'll go with the Panthers first.
- 42:05Jalen Phillips is a great player.
- 42:06He's a good pass rusher. I I understand why they brought
- 42:09him in. They had a very good defense
- 42:11last year. Explosive in the second, in the
- 42:13second-half of the season. There are not many better
- 42:15defenses than the Carolina Panthers.
- 42:17Now you add another defensive line lineman as good as Jalen
- 42:21Phillips on the other side of the ball.
- 42:22You can move him around on that line.
- 42:24You can move him on the left and you can move him on the right.
- 42:26He's explosive. I like this move for the
- 42:28Panthers. I what was the deal?
- 42:30What did they pay him? That's what I want to know
- 42:32because. It's like it's four years, 120.
- 42:35That's a lot of money. That's a lot of it's like. 80
- 42:37it's like 80 something guaranteed.
- 42:39It's a huge deal. It's a lot of money for a guy
- 42:42like Jalen Phillips, who some people say was pushing his way
- 42:46out of Miami. If you didn't, and again, Miami
- 42:49was not playing well, they weren't a good team.
- 42:51They weren't. They were winning up.
- 42:52They were up and down. Mike McDaniel is a good coach,
- 42:54but he didn't want to play there anymore.
- 42:56He didn't like the locker room. Now what happens if he doesn't
- 42:59like the Panthers locker room? We've seen the Panthers fire
- 43:01coach within a year and now he's the head.
- 43:04He's the head offensive coordinator for the New York
- 43:05Jets and Frank Wright. So I, I just, I don't know if
- 43:09Jalen Phillips, I would have overpaid for it.
- 43:11Now we'll see how that works. Mike Evans, explosive great
- 43:16player, veteran a little up there in age.
- 43:19He's 3031 years old getting a three-year extension.
- 43:23He's injury prone over the last two seasons.
- 43:25He missed a significant portion last year.
- 43:28Now if he stays healthy, he's a slam dunk.
- 43:30He's one of the best red zone wide receivers in all of the
- 43:33NFL. He's a Hall of Famer.
- 43:35We understand that San Francisco was looking for that number one
- 43:38target for Brock Purdy. It didn't work out without you.
- 43:40They've decided to part ways with a bunch of offensive
- 43:43weapons over the last couple of years because they didn't want
- 43:46to overpay him. You overpay a guy that's over
- 43:4830. I, I don't know if I like this
- 43:52move because they gave him 20 something $1,000,000 for a guy
- 43:55that's over the age of 30. I I don't know if that's going
- 43:58to work. We'll see if he could stay.
- 44:00If he stays healthy and he stays and he plays 1314 games, it's a
- 44:04slam dunk for Brock Purdy in this San Francisco 49ers.
- 44:08It sounds like it's a reach because this is Kyle Shanahan's
- 44:11big time year. They did make the playoffs last
- 44:13year. They lost.
- 44:14They didn't have they were not healthy on the defensive side of
- 44:16the ball. Robert Solid goes to Tennessee.
- 44:18Watch how how that fails. But the fact here is this is
- 44:22Kyle Shanahan's year. If this team does not go where
- 44:25it needs to go, and that's really to a Super Bowl and be a
- 44:28contender, I I would say Kyle Shanahan's out.
- 44:31And as far as the Chiefs are concerned, they didn't want to
- 44:34make a move at the trade deadline for a Breeze Hall.
- 44:36They didn't want to give up 1/3 when they were offering a
- 44:39fourth. They go off, Kenneth, go after
- 44:41Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker is a great
- 44:43explosive wide running back. We saw what he did in the
- 44:46playoffs. We saw what he did in the Super
- 44:48Bowl. I what he did Super Bowl MVP.
- 44:51He was sensational. He ran the ball like a man man.
- 44:54Remember, he's a running back. He's 28 years old.
- 44:58He's got maybe 2 good years at best and he's also injury prone.
- 45:02Kenneth Walker does not stay healthy.
- 45:05He really is not a last year was the first time I could say that
- 45:08throughout the second-half of the season when he came back, it
- 45:11was Chabernet that got hurt and Walker was the one that stayed
- 45:14healthy and really ran his ass off.
- 45:16I don't know if I trust Kenneth Walker to stay healthy.
- 45:21I don't know what was the deal. Three years, 45.
- 45:23That's a lot of money. So Errol, it's the richest
- 45:25guaranteed contract for an A running back in NFL history.
- 45:2928.7 Of that 45 is fully guaranteed.
- 45:33You want me to answer your question?
- 45:36Kenneth Walker and Bruce Hall were drafted in the same draft.
- 45:39Bruce Hall was drafted in front of Kenneth Walker.
- 45:41He was the second running back drafted in that draft.
- 45:44Both of them are sensational players.
- 45:46I if, if you would ask me right now, I would have just given The
- 45:50Jets the third round draft pick and paid Breece Hall one.
- 45:54I'll tell you why. Breece Hall as much as he has
- 45:56more talk on his knee, Breece Hall has been fairly healthy his
- 46:00whole career with the New York Jets.
- 46:02A lot more healthier than Kenneth Walker.
- 46:04I would bet on Breece Hall. And, and that's the type of back
- 46:08that a guy like the Chiefs and Andy re like Kenneth Walker.
- 46:13I'm not saying Kenneth Walker doesn't fit there.
- 46:15I just think I, I don't know if I trust the fact that Kenneth
- 46:19Walker is the guy that's going to take me to that, to that next
- 46:22level. I, I think it's highly paid,
- 46:25highly paid contract. I think it's a bad move for the
- 46:28Chiefs. That's just my opinion.
- 46:29Either I think they're waiting on a spike of of the salary cap.
- 46:32That's why I think they gave it to him early on and he
- 46:33guarantees pretty high three-year deal yeah I think
- 46:36only two of them you're going to see really peak years.
- 46:37Maybe Andy read a? One I think 1.
- 46:40After that, as far as the 49ers of Mike Evans, I agree.
- 46:43I I was very puzzled by that move because he feels Kyle has
- 46:46scan Shanahan's scheme is really a lot of yards after catch guys,
- 46:49a lot of these quicker shifty your guys not as much the Mike
- 46:52Evans type. So I'm curious how that's going
- 46:54to work in that scheme at that price.
- 46:55I'm not crazy about it. I do like Jalen Phillips a lot.
- 46:57You pay for potential Panthers I mentioned are going to make
- 46:59splashdown defense. They had a really good draft.
- 47:01I'm going to tell you this, out of all three, all three
- 47:04signings, I, I would say I like the Phillips.
- 47:07Out of all of them, I don't like.
- 47:09I would agree with you. Speedy.
- 47:11Mike Evans doesn't fit Kenneth Walker.
- 47:13It makes sense, but he really got paid for what he did in the
- 47:16playoffs last year. I don't trust that he's going to
- 47:18stay healthy. So the only one that I really
- 47:20liked was Jaylen Phillips, but we'll see how he works in that
- 47:23locker. Room.
- 47:23I worry about Phillips too. He's had more injuries than both
- 47:25of those guys. He's had an Achilles, a knee.
- 47:28I mean, this is a guy that's the only reason he kind of fell off
- 47:30a little bit of Miami in the first place.
- 47:31In my in my opinion, you know, it's really interesting to see
- 47:34how that's going to. Let's go to the New York teams,
- 47:36though, Errol. Let's start with The Jets.
- 47:38We got a whole bunch of moves. Mogi went defense.
- 47:43So here's the list of the moves today.
- 47:45First, they start the day off trading a seventh round pick to
- 47:49Miami for Minka Fitzpatrick to play safety or whatever you want
- 47:54to call the nickel. Whatever thing he's going to do,
- 47:573 year, $40 million extension on the spot.
- 48:00They signed defensive end from that vaunted Cincinnati defense
- 48:04last year, Joseph Osai. They gave him 12 million a year,
- 48:0822.5 guaranteed over three years.
- 48:11Then they brought back an old friend, Demario Davis, 2 year,
- 48:15$22 million, fifteen guaranteed. He's I think 35 or so.
- 48:21Obviously he's been on the team multiple times, but not in a
- 48:24while. Got a very good stretch with the
- 48:26Saints the last eight years and then they signed Kingsley Anag
- 48:32Barre, who's an edge rusher that kind of was in the rotation with
- 48:36the Packers even one year, 10 million to be kind of like that
- 48:40change of pace guy Errol, how do you like some of these moves?
- 48:43Obviously we know Bruce Hall and the Devandre sweat trade or.
- 48:46The first of all, the contracts were perfect for Moji.
- 48:50So on a Barre they signed up for one year, 10 million.
- 48:53It's a make a break year for him.
- 48:54He's a good player. I know speedy was talking about
- 48:56him. He liked him on the Green Bay
- 48:58Packers didn't get to play a lot last year because of Micah
- 49:01Parsons and and some of the other players that they're on
- 49:03the defensive side of the ball. So he's going to get a chance to
- 49:06start this year on the other side, left or right side,
- 49:10depending on where they stick him.
- 49:11And and Osaya right, it's Osai. Osai is a he.
- 49:16He's a good pass rusher too. He can get out the ball too.
- 49:19So that what The Jets are trying to do.
- 49:20Obviously, we know Aaron Glenn didn't think that this defensive
- 49:23line was that good. And I don't think The Jets are
- 49:25done to. Mario Davis is a slam dunk, slam
- 49:28dunk. You signed up two years,
- 49:2915,000,000. You're not overpaying.
- 49:31He's a leader. You saw what he did with the
- 49:33Saints. Everywhere he's gone ever since
- 49:36he left The Jets. He was a pro ball player and
- 49:38elite player at his position. You bring leadership over there.
- 49:42I I sure would need that leadership.
- 49:44They lost it with CJ Mosley, who retired this past year.
- 49:48I, I just, I like this move. I really do.
- 49:51And Mika Fitzpatrick, slam dunk, if he stays healthy to get him
- 49:55for a three-year, $40 million contract and only give up a
- 49:58seventh round draft pick, it's a steal.
- 50:00He's one of the top five safeties in the league when he's
- 50:02healthy. You could put them, you could
- 50:04put them in, plug, plug them in any position in the secondary.
- 50:07He could play corner. He came into the league as a
- 50:09corner. Or he could play safety.
- 50:11He could play multiple positions if need be.
- 50:13And again, The Jets have been looking for a safety, a star
- 50:17safety for many, many years. In the last five years, they
- 50:20they brought Raven players in, they brought free agents in.
- 50:23They've drafted players, hasn't worked.
- 50:26Mika Fitzpatrick, if he stays healthy, he's a dunk, a slam
- 50:30dunk. So I like all the moves.
- 50:32And guess what? Moji still has a ton of money to
- 50:35spend. He didn't overpay any of these
- 50:38guys but Mika Fitzpatrick. I think Bari was lost in that
- 50:40rotation, especially as they get Parsons and even Jamie Lee's boy
- 50:44Lucas Van Nest actually playing pretty well last year before
- 50:46Parsons got hurt and so he was lost in the rotation.
- 50:48But good versatile guy. I definitely like that.
- 50:50Demario Davis. We talked about Levante Davis
- 50:52longevity all the time. His has been very good as well
- 50:54with the Saints. 35 years old, like you were saying, was still
- 50:56playing at a very high level and make a Fitzpatrick.
- 50:58That's an absolute bargain for a seventh round pick and you're
- 51:01getting Miami to take on most of the remaining contract after
- 51:03that, a lot of leeway for him with The Jets having questions
- 51:05at at other defensive back spots.
- 51:07He can play everywhere. Just play the game plan like
- 51:09Aaron Glenn likes to do. And you know what The Jets are
- 51:11going to do, The Jets are going to go after corner in this draft
- 51:14one way or another. They're going to get a number
- 51:15one guy. They drafted the kid from
- 51:17Florida State the year before. So I I think they're going to
- 51:20solidify that defensive side of the ball.
- 51:22I still think they could bring a veteran corner to help about and
- 51:25I maybe they bring in another safety.
- 51:27The Jets aren't done and they didn't overpay for any of these
- 51:30guys. They really didn't.
- 51:32Moji looks like a genius right now.
- 51:34He's got a ton of draft picks and he's solidifying that
- 51:37defensive side of the ball, which they had problems all
- 51:40season last year, especially in the second-half of the season
- 51:42getting at the quarterback. I love the moves.
- 51:44I think they're great for the New York Jets.
- 51:46So like that Mosley, when they lost him, I was like, I don't
- 51:49think you realize how much that's going to hurt.
- 51:51Aaron Glenn realized this past season what it was like to not
- 51:55have a real like play calling middle linebacker who's the 1st
- 51:58order of business, right? So let's talk about a team that
- 52:01also needs a play calling middle linebacker.
- 52:04They may start looking in the draft for that is what the rumor
- 52:07is. Let's get into the Giants move
- 52:09today. Al Harbaugh went back to the
- 52:12Ravens and grabbed a couple of guys.
- 52:13Isaiah Likely was given a three-year, $40 million deal to
- 52:18be the number one tight end for the New York Giants.
- 52:21He's obviously more of a pass catching H or off ball tight
- 52:24end, really kind of a big slot. Obviously good hands.
- 52:28Has struggled to stay healthy in the past.
- 52:29The Giants then gave what I think is not as much money as
- 52:33people were expecting, gave Jermaine Illuminor a three-year,
- 52:3639,000,026 guaranteed to stay at right tackle.
- 52:40That's kind of low for a right tackle that's as good as him.
- 52:43And then we talked about this couple weeks ago.
- 52:46Joe Shane loves those Buffalo guys, while he drafted Tremaine
- 52:49Edmonds. Tremaine Edmonds is that play
- 52:51calling middle linebacker for the Giants, three years,
- 52:5436,000,024 guaranteed. But the best player the Giants
- 52:58got is an All Pro. Errol, they got an all Pro and
- 53:02made him the richest punter in history.
- 53:06Jordan Stout, the former Ravens punter is brought over by
- 53:10Harbaugh. A couple other things.
- 53:12Nothing crazy. Chris Manheart's three signs to
- 53:14be a blocking tight end. So for all you Giant fans, you
- 53:18just heard a giant fan come out and excited about a punter.
- 53:22Think about that. That's what the giant fan is
- 53:25excited about, a punter. Edmonds is a nice signing.
- 53:29A three-year, 30, that's a little, that's large, that's a
- 53:33lot of money for a guy that is at the tail end of his career.
- 53:37Again, Illuminor, that's that's a slam dunk.
- 53:39They needed him back. They brought a right tackle
- 53:41back. He was as good as any, any
- 53:43player on that, that offensive line last year, especially when
- 53:46Thomas came back. So I, I like that move.
- 53:49I, I just think that the giants don't have a lot of money and
- 53:52they're, what they're doing is they're going to do whatever
- 53:54they can to add pieces that make sense.
- 53:56The Isaiah likely just tells you how bad Joe Shane is when it
- 53:59comes to drafting tight ends or any offensive talent out there
- 54:04because they, he drafted, since he's been here, he's drafted 2
- 54:07tight ends and now you go out there in free agency and bring
- 54:11in a tight end from the Ravens and give him an, give him a nice
- 54:14big extension and money. It just shows you that Joe Shane
- 54:17is probably looking looking back and looking at his ass because
- 54:20it's almost on on his way out. Let's.
- 54:23Not forget, he also traded for a guy named Darren Waller who
- 54:25retired. After that's another one, that's
- 54:28another one. That's three, I'm sorry, 33
- 54:30tight ends and he's been there. How long?
- 54:333-4 years. This is year 4 going into Year 5
- 54:36for him. So he's got.
- 54:37So this is the fourth tight end he's had going into Year 5.
- 54:41Great. Joe Shea looks like an absolute
- 54:44genius. Yeah, it seems like a little bit
- 54:46of a stretch for a guy that had flashes of the number 2 tight
- 54:48end, pretty much. And like Mark Andrews gets hurt,
- 54:51all right. He has some flashes here and
- 54:52there, but never really put it together on a consistent basis.
- 54:55And you're giving him that much money?
- 54:56Speedy, are you this? Are you excited like fishes
- 54:58about this punter? He's a good punter, but again,
- 55:01it's a punter. We'll see.
- 55:01Oh. My God, look at his punter.
- 55:03Can you control? The field, Daryl control the
- 55:07field. You got to win.
- 55:07I need to are. You going to need.
- 55:09To I would be more excited about the fact that the Giants.
- 55:11Need to. Definitely going to need to.
- 55:13I'd be encouraged to see if he could become a kicker at this
- 55:16point because the Giants had the worst kicker season I probably
- 55:18ever seen. I've never.
- 55:19Never seen anybody get so excited about a kicker.
- 55:22Oh my God. We we just signed the best
- 55:24kicker punter in all of the NFL. Oh my God, let's go crazy.
- 55:29I guess I have a sportsman and a former punter later on tonight
- 55:32too, so I guess I'm into punting today.
- 55:35Let's punt on this topic and get to a guy.
- 55:39It's reunited and I feel so good.
- 55:41Day Bowl and Juan Dale reunite with Sayla in Nashville.
- 55:47Yes, we wondered what the contract was going to be for
- 55:50Wandale Robinson. Four years, 78,000,019.5 season,
- 55:59just under half of its gap. Fully IS had some success with
- 56:03Dabel. He loves Dabel I guess.
- 56:07I think he loves 20 million a year bet more than he loves
- 56:09Dabel. Obviously.
- 56:10He came off his first 1000 yard season after neighbors was hurt.
- 56:13He was the only professional receiver probably playing on
- 56:16that roster. He got a lot of targets, a
- 56:19little bit of an overpay. Here, absolutely.
- 56:21Now I like Wandale Robertson. I thought he had a great season
- 56:24last year. He was the number one target for
- 56:26your guy, Mr. Jackson Dart and Jackson darts going to miss him
- 56:30and we'll see. What are the Giants go in the
- 56:31draft this year? Do they go wide receiver?
- 56:33Do they find a Wandale Robertson like type of player?
- 56:36Those guys, again, it took him a while to figure it out and this
- 56:40was also another Joe Shane guy that finally developed in the
- 56:44tail end of his contract. Again, we look and we go back at
- 56:48some of the dumb things Joe Shane has done and this might be
- 56:51the dumbest I would have found. I would have figured out a way
- 56:54to bring Wandell Robinson back because it would have made
- 56:56Jackson Dodd happy. You have Malik neighbors coming
- 56:58back and we don't know how healthy he's going to be in the
- 57:01first half of the season now Wandell Robinson going to
- 57:05Tennessee. It's very, it's to me, it's just
- 57:07very funny to think that Wandale Robinson goes to a guy like
- 57:11Dabel, who by the way, didn't a lot of the players, lot of the
- 57:14offensive side of the ball players did not like Dabel, but
- 57:18Dabel's the only idiot that would actually pay Wandale
- 57:21Robinson the $78,000,000 that he wanted.
- 57:23I'm going to tell you, this is going to be absolutely smack the
- 57:26Tennessee Titans and Robert AKA Bambi Sala in the face.
- 57:31This is a dumb move for them. This is an organization that's
- 57:35reaching on a player. I understand they have a young
- 57:38quarterback that they they hope to develop and ward.
- 57:40I love them too. I think he's a sensational
- 57:42quarterback, but you you get an undersized wide receiver at that
- 57:47position it it's going to smack him right back in the.
- 57:50Face Yeah, they've had a bad track record of wide receivers
- 57:53for a long time, even though a lot of their good teams, too,
- 57:55that was always their weakest part of their team.
- 57:57So what have we seen the track record of?
- 57:58All right, let's go draft Corey Davis a fifth overall and think
- 58:01he was good. Then they go go pay Calvin
- 58:03Ridley a few years ago, a year after he's suspended for a whole
- 58:06season because of a gambling charge.
- 58:07Now you're overpaying for a guy that's small, limited in his
- 58:10route, drops the ball a lot, and you're going to trust that to
- 58:13work as a second guy next to Ridley if Ridley's even healthy?
- 58:16Yeah, good luck with that. Trying to get that kind of thing
- 58:18to work $19,000,000 a year. I was saying now don't go after
- 58:2115 of what Shakir got for a slot receiver.
- 58:24Yeah, that's a big overpay. I like Corey Davis.
- 58:27I thought he was going to be good.
- 58:28That was why that. #5 Overall in that draft, yeah, that was.
- 58:31Nobody was thinking before. The place to go that high?
- 58:33Let's talk about another guy who went pretty high in the draft.
- 58:35That's now a $99 million dead cap hit on the Dolphins spread
- 58:43over 2 years. Yes, we're talking about Tua
- 58:46Tagovailoa after it was cut. Immediately signed a one year
- 58:50minimum contract with the Atlanta Falcons to back up I
- 58:53guess Michael Pennix junior to serve as the other left-handed
- 58:57quarterback for the team. To be insurance for the other
- 59:00left-handed injury prone quarterback.
- 59:03Well, I mean, they're making a big deal out of the news.
- 59:05O2 lefties on the same team. Like, of course, the right
- 59:07tackle is the blind side. They want to get a lefty.
- 59:09I think it's very complicated. But the big thing here is Miami,
- 59:13with that dead cap, pivoted and then gave Malik Willis the
- 59:17Packers back up last year, three years, $67.5 million contract to
- 59:24be their starting quarterback. Please.
- 59:26Malik Willis. Why?
- 59:28Because they have a coach right now from the Green Bay Packers
- 59:30and AGM from the Green Bay Packers.
- 59:32This is a horrible move for Miami.
- 59:35You're going to bet on Malik Willis, who was, what, a third
- 59:38or fourth round draft pick when he was drafted?
- 59:40The guy has a great arm. He looked half decent when he
- 59:44played the Bears last year. He's not a good quarterback.
- 59:47You're going to pay him $68 million.
- 59:49Good luck on that. They threw money into her.
- 59:51And by the way, Matt Ryan, who doesn't think Michael Pennix is
- 59:55the quarterback or he thinks that Michael Pennix could be a
- 59:59guy that he could move in the future, How about this?
- 1:00:02You bring into a Tiger Viola, I mean, Tua Taga Viola, That's who
- 1:00:06he brought in. That's his big move.
- 1:00:09What a joke. Matt Ryan, who's a quarterback,
- 1:00:12Mr. Golden God himself went out there and threw Michael Pennix
- 1:00:16under the bus saying that he might not be his quarterback
- 1:00:19and. Then you bring it to her and
- 1:00:21then you'll like her cousins go. What a joke.
- 1:00:24Matt Ryan's going to last no more than five years over there
- 1:00:28as a as a as the president of the organization.
- 1:00:29She doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
- 1:00:31He didn't know what he was doing as an analyst on CBS and he
- 1:00:33definitely doesn't know what he's doing.
- 1:00:35Run an organization. He's in over his head.
- 1:00:37Arthur. What is it, Arthur Blank.
- 1:00:40The only blanks he's going to be shooting is Matt Ryan.
- 1:00:43Yeah, like I said, you're basically.
- 1:00:45Didn't get that right over his head, right over his head.
- 1:00:48Shoot bikes. Oh, you're actually depicting my
- 1:00:51endo Actually depicting a lot of what?
- 1:00:52To his throws look. Like I love Lisa, unfortunately.
- 1:00:54And you're getting him on a downturn, I guess a one year
- 1:00:56deal you're trying to prove, I guess Kevin Stefanski, he
- 1:00:58already said, all right, I have the challenge of coaching Dylan
- 1:01:00Gabriel last year. I want to go on for two other
- 1:01:02left left-handed quarterbacks that obviously more talented.
- 1:01:05Gabriel does. But you get injury risk.
- 1:01:07It's the same kind of thing. You would think for panics
- 1:01:08coming off the injury you'd want a guy with a little more
- 1:01:10insurance and going you're going after 2O as all this history of
- 1:01:13concussions and leg. Injuries, speed.
- 1:01:15You probably shoot blanks. If you saw Lisa Ann, he wouldn't
- 1:01:18even know what to do with him. They wouldn't know what to do
- 1:01:20with her, right? That's sniffing.
- 1:01:22He's the he's the Lisa Ann expert.
- 1:01:24Well, yes, but I'm talking about you.
- 1:01:26I'm. Like this 20 to 20?
- 1:01:281000 no expert in seeing a woman.
- 1:01:31Okay, what is there an expert to see?
- 1:01:34Not what Nathans to him. Okay, on to the next.
- 1:01:37All right, let's get into the Indianapolis Colts.
- 1:01:40Make her squirt. Make me jerk.
- 1:01:41So two things with the Colts. The big one, they resigned wide
- 1:01:45receiver Alec Pierce to a record contract as far as guaranteed
- 1:01:50money for a wide receiver, which seems interesting.
- 1:01:53I didn't realize he was a top five wide receiver in the
- 1:01:55league, but had a great year last year.
- 1:01:57Breakout with Daniel Jones. Obviously a deep ball threat can
- 1:02:00stretch the field. And then they also traded
- 1:02:02longtime linebacker Zaire Franklin to the Packers for
- 1:02:06defensive tackle Colby Wooden in a player for player deal.
- 1:02:10Franklin had slipped a little bit but has been a mainstay.
- 1:02:13One of the better linebackers in the league for a while.
- 1:02:15Wooden. By far the Packers best run
- 1:02:18stopping nose tackle, something that the Colts really struggled
- 1:02:21with. I love them.
- 1:02:23I love the move for both the Colts and the Packers because
- 1:02:25they needed to solidify both positions.
- 1:02:28They get a run stopping a guy at the line.
- 1:02:31The Colts, especially the second-half of the season after
- 1:02:34Daniel Jones went down, they needed a guy, They needed
- 1:02:36somebody to plug up the middle. They had problems with that.
- 1:02:39Now they bring in a guy and Franklin, who's been a mainstead
- 1:02:42over there with the Colts, he's a very good defensive player.
- 1:02:44He goes over there to the Packers and I think he's going
- 1:02:46to be a pretty good player. I I think you he'll be the, the
- 1:02:50big move here is Alex Pierce going back to the Colts.
- 1:02:53A lot of people thought it Alex Pierce was a great number two,
- 1:02:57number three type of guy. He could be 1000 yard guy it
- 1:03:00depending on who the wide receiver.
- 1:03:02I mean the quarterback is. We don't know what Daniel Jones
- 1:03:05is going to be next year. We'll see who they're going to
- 1:03:06bring in a veteran. Maybe they bring in AI don't
- 1:03:09know. One of those guys that are
- 1:03:10available maybe at Kyla Murray, because we've heard Kyla Murray
- 1:03:13wants to go over there to the Colts.
- 1:03:15How's that going to work with some of the weapons that they
- 1:03:17have over there? But I somebody's going to go
- 1:03:19over there and I think Alex Pierce and, and, and, and
- 1:03:22obviously Taylor and all the weapons that they have, this is
- 1:03:25a good offensive team. The question is do they have the
- 1:03:30weapons and they have enough defense, especially in the
- 1:03:32secondary next year, that's going to get them into the.
- 1:03:34Playoffs. Yeah.
- 1:03:35The Colts have always been a factory of linebackers, and they
- 1:03:37know when to get rid of them. We've seen them do that with
- 1:03:39Darius Leonard and he went to the Eagles later on and had to
- 1:03:42retire and oh, Carricky was a Colt to then became a Giant.
- 1:03:46So I think they're they're probably knowing that they could
- 1:03:48just have that kind of system work.
- 1:03:49But again, I'm surprised that they wouldn't have tried a
- 1:03:51little more of the positions. They need more.
- 1:03:53They have two good, good defensive tackles.
- 1:03:55They're not done. Buckner was hurt most of the
- 1:03:57year. So that was a big reason why
- 1:03:58they struggled. Lately, you make it seem like
- 1:04:00the Colts had done They have money and they could still go
- 1:04:03after all the pieces. There's a lot of players still
- 1:04:05available. Actually there's probably 5 or 6
- 1:04:08that are game changing players that are still out there.
- 1:04:10Yeah, they need edges, definitely.
- 1:04:11I think they need to figure that out.
- 1:04:13Hendrickson, Yep, that could definitely be an option for
- 1:04:15them. Pierce is an interesting move.
- 1:04:17A lot of in guaranteed money. I like the player because they
- 1:04:20don't have another big bodied receiver on that team.
- 1:04:22They have a lot of these shifty or like Josh Downs, a lot of
- 1:04:24those types. Obviously they traded away
- 1:04:26Mitchell, but still have Ashton Doolin, but they needed a big
- 1:04:29body guy. He's a little pricey maybe, but
- 1:04:31again, they wanted to keep him happy with the guarantee.
- 1:04:33Well, the reason why they don't have a big body guy Speedy is
- 1:04:36you didn't mention him because he's gone now.
- 1:04:38He went to Pittsburgh. They traded Michael Pittman for
- 1:04:41a late round pick swap to the Steelers.
- 1:04:44The Steelers gave him a pretty big extension there.
- 1:04:48Let's see where what we got 3 or 59 million to play opposite DK
- 1:04:52Metcalf. Don't really know what's going
- 1:04:54to happen in the darkness with Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:04:57That's what happened to Pittman. They traded Michael Pittman.
- 1:05:01He wasn't worth very much. What a dumb.
- 1:05:04What a dumb organization. Now that that I didn't hear
- 1:05:06about this. They couldn't afford, so that
- 1:05:09was the thing. They couldn't afford to give
- 1:05:10Pierce the extension and still have Pittman on the roster.
- 1:05:14Mike McCarthy is going to have weapons next year.
- 1:05:18I would bring Aaron Rodgers back.
- 1:05:20You have Michael Pittman on one side and DK Metcalf on the other
- 1:05:23and a great running game. This offense is going to be so
- 1:05:25explosive next year. Aaron Rodgers would be licking
- 1:05:27his lips. He'd have probably the best
- 1:05:30weapons he's ever had with the Green Bay Packers.
- 1:05:32I mean, who did what was his best weapons over there?
- 1:05:34Jordy Nelson. I mean, I, I'm, I'm honestly
- 1:05:38shocked Michael Pittman was straight.
- 1:05:40I understand they couldn't afford them, but to just trade
- 1:05:42away your best option, your best wide receiver, and just throw
- 1:05:46them away like that makes no sense.
- 1:05:48Yeah, and I think it compliments Metcalf actually pretty well
- 1:05:51because Metcalf a deep threat freak athletic guy.
- 1:05:53Pitman's much more of the more I'll get open quickly, but
- 1:05:57doesn't have as large of a route tree when it comes to going deep
- 1:05:59and stuff like. That I didn't even know they got
- 1:06:00Michael Pitman. I didn't even hear about this.
- 1:06:02And like you're saying, Mike McCarthy does well with those
- 1:06:05bigger slot type of guys. Pitman's of a good possession
- 1:06:08guy. You could put him in the slot
- 1:06:09and you could put him on the outside.
- 1:06:11He's a great route runner, very underrated, underrated on the
- 1:06:16way he plays this game. I think this is a slam dunk for
- 1:06:19Pittsburgh. Wow, that division is looking
- 1:06:21really, really. Good.
- 1:06:22I don't even think the contract's that bad either.
- 1:06:24It's three years. I mean, yeah, he's had injury
- 1:06:26issues in his career, but he's a guy that still gets open pretty
- 1:06:29quickly you could rely on. Him hard to trust the Colts and
- 1:06:31the Colts are one of those teams are even though they do have
- 1:06:33some cap room, especially getting removing Pittman in this
- 1:06:36move. They don't have a first round
- 1:06:38pick this year and they don't have a first round pick next
- 1:06:41year because they traded for Sauce Gardner and Sauce Gardner.
- 1:06:44Thank you very much. So it looks like, you know, we
- 1:06:47talked about Max Crosby earlier. Obviously there is a downside.
- 1:06:50If the guy gets hurt, you kind of screw your franchise for the
- 1:06:53next couple of years. Steiken might be looking for a
- 1:06:55new job at the end of this year if he doesn't get this team into
- 1:06:58the playoffs. That's two years in a row and
- 1:07:00you lost Daniel Jones, territorious Achilles and lost
- 1:07:04your your one of your best weapons last year as.
- 1:07:07Record setting deals. There were a few other ones.
- 1:07:10The largest extension for a nose tackle goes to Jordan Davis of
- 1:07:15the Eagles. I mean, that guy's unbelievable
- 1:07:17at football. That's not surprising, the
- 1:07:19Raiders said. We got, we're going to get
- 1:07:22Mendoza, let's get him the best center in all of football.
- 1:07:25They gave Limiterbaum the biggest contract the center's
- 1:07:28ever get gotten. And after trading for Mcduffie
- 1:07:31from the Chiefs, the Rams made him the richest corner in
- 1:07:34history as well. I'm not overpaying Mcduffie the
- 1:07:37way they did. I'm sorry.
- 1:07:39As good as Mcduffie is, yes, he's more known as a slot
- 1:07:43cornerback. That's what he is.
- 1:07:45You can put him on the outside. He can defend the top wide
- 1:07:48receiver. I don't know if I'm paying him
- 1:07:50top what? You know, cornerback money when
- 1:07:53he's more known for his slot defense.
- 1:07:56So I I think he they overpaid him.
- 1:07:57Linda Baum, you need him. You're bringing in a rookie
- 1:08:00quarterback. You need a guy that's going to
- 1:08:02be able to protect them, be able to help audible plays and get
- 1:08:04your quarterback comfortable at the position early in his
- 1:08:08career. And you're bringing in a rookie
- 1:08:10coach and Clint. So I think this is a good move
- 1:08:13for them. As far as Jordan Davis, Jordan
- 1:08:16Davis is a great player and I understand everybody calls him a
- 1:08:20beast and everything like that, but he he's on and off.
- 1:08:23Sometimes he disappears in games.
- 1:08:25I'm I'm an Eagles fan, I love the Eagles and I watch Jordan
- 1:08:29Davis sometimes. He's just a, he's as explosive
- 1:08:31as any player in the league, especially on that defensive
- 1:08:34line. To pay him record-breaking money
- 1:08:38is ridiculous because I just don't know.
- 1:08:40Remember, Jordan Davis is a very heavy guy.
- 1:08:42He did lose some weight. He's heavy.
- 1:08:44And remember, he's going to add some torque to that body and
- 1:08:47more injury to his body if he doesn't lose weight in the
- 1:08:50future. He's strong.
- 1:08:51He's sensational. We saw what he did at the
- 1:08:53combine, overpaying him. I think this is a mistake for
- 1:08:56the Eagles. Yeah, it's a little much, I
- 1:08:58think, for somebody that's been kind of inconsistent.
- 1:09:00He's obviously very good in run defense and I think he still has
- 1:09:03a good role. Now, obviously the Eagles moved
- 1:09:05on from Milton Williams, so they needed a second guy next to
- 1:09:07Jalen Carter to keep that thing going.
- 1:09:09But they've also drafted him very well too, so I'm surprised
- 1:09:11they would have done it as quickly as they did.
- 1:09:13Maybe if they weighed out the market a little more than maybe
- 1:09:16I would have done it. But yeah, I was a little
- 1:09:17surprised at that too. They jumped on this because they
- 1:09:20know that he's going to want more money next year.
- 1:09:22Yeah. And again, it might be a
- 1:09:23negotiation intacted for Carter, too.
- 1:09:25Maybe they're trying to pay Carter early and they want to
- 1:09:27keep his teammates. How are they going to be able to
- 1:09:28pay Carter? Now, I know that they're
- 1:09:30probably going to have to wait until they trade A.J.
- 1:09:32Brown, which will be an interesting development
- 1:09:33throughout the offseason. They already turned down a deal
- 1:09:35with the Patriots for a first and a third round pick, so maybe
- 1:09:37they think they can get more look.
- 1:09:39At the quarterbacks that they have, how are they going to pay
- 1:09:40both of those? Guys, yeah, they're going to
- 1:09:43either have to pay them quickly or they're going to have to
- 1:09:45maybe wait till they're going to have to trade one of them.
- 1:09:47Maybe there's there's definitely options there.
- 1:09:49But you're right, I'm surprised they went that long I guess.
- 1:09:51That's ridiculous. Out of all the guys to sign, you
- 1:09:53gave Jordan Davis that extension, a long time
- 1:09:56extension. He's the most, he's the heaviest
- 1:09:59and to me, most injury prone. Sure.
- 1:10:02Sure. As far as Linder Baum, yeah, I
- 1:10:04think they had to do that. The Raiders badly needed help on
- 1:10:06that offensive line last year, especially Jackson Powers.
- 1:10:08Johnson's another guy we talked about it with some other guys
- 1:10:11that are better at guards than they are at centers.
- 1:10:12We've seen there would be a trend in recent drafts and I
- 1:10:15think they're going to want to do that.
- 1:10:16Miller's still good. This is the big splash they need
- 1:10:18to Mcduffie. They're again, like I've seen
- 1:10:20with the Chiefs, they're the Rams are going to play the
- 1:10:21market. Les needs done a good job with a
- 1:10:23lot of these bigger contracts in the passing managing around him
- 1:10:26right now, yeah, maybe easy deep serving a number one.
- 1:10:28Right now, no, but I think down the road it definitely could be
- 1:10:29a good deal for a guy that's still great on both slot and
- 1:10:31outside. You know, that's like a real
- 1:10:33thing. I've had guys on, you know, his
- 1:10:35high school level. But some guys, they could play
- 1:10:37tackle and guard, but you put the ball in their hand and tell
- 1:10:40them to snap and then take a step and block that.
- 1:10:42It's like you're asking them to like to do tap their head and
- 1:10:45rub their stomach. So anyway, it looks like our
- 1:10:48guest is in. The only other news was Travis
- 1:10:50at the end cashed in on his big season with the Jaguars and he's
- 1:10:55going to the Saints on a four year, $52 million deal as
- 1:10:59typical Saints move right there. And OE, who was traded out to
- 1:11:03the Chargers after doing nothing with the Ravens, unlocked by
- 1:11:06Jesse Minter, has an awesome second-half of the year, gets
- 1:11:10100 million from the Commanders after that.
- 1:11:14He hasn't. He's got 68,000,000 guaranteed
- 1:11:17off of that half of a season of production his entire career.
- 1:11:20Errol. Typical, all of it typical
- 1:11:22commanders fashion, throwing away your money and a guy that
- 1:11:26you can't trust. That's one.
- 1:11:28And as far as love, you can shut the music as far as the love
- 1:11:32situation, Everybody thought that the Saints were going to go
- 1:11:35after love. Now you bring in a running back
- 1:11:38now and you over and I think you overpaid for him.
- 1:11:41I, I, I like Travis Etienne. He's a great running back.
- 1:11:44He really was. He's been great with the
- 1:11:46Jaguars. He's sensational.
- 1:11:48And I, I, I know there's a player that's been on our show
- 1:11:51quite a few times that tells us that is it's his best friend,
- 1:11:54foyer Luiken that tells us how how great a friend he is.
- 1:11:57And now he's no longer a Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 1:11:59He's heading over there to the Saints.
- 1:12:01Are they now going to go at 8 with a running back in love?
- 1:12:05Does he fall in the draft now? And, and that's the question
- 1:12:08because everybody I've heard the only team that was really in for
- 1:12:13a running back that high is the Saints.
- 1:12:15Now he could fall. Now let me ask you guys a
- 1:12:18question before we before we get into my Golf Club.
- 1:12:22If The Jets can draft Love at 16, if let's say he falls, do
- 1:12:29you draft him at 16? That's the question because
- 1:12:34you're not keeping Breece Hall. I believe The Jets are going to
- 1:12:37trade him maybe before the draft or after the draft because
- 1:12:40they're not going to extend them.
- 1:12:42Do you you bring in Love at #16? He's by far the best running
- 1:12:46back in this class. Some people say a game changing
- 1:12:48back that probably the best back to come out of the draft over
- 1:12:53the last couple of years. They think he's better than
- 1:12:55Ashton Gente. So very interesting.
- 1:12:58I, I thought he was a nice kid. I was at the Heisman Trophy
- 1:13:01dinner. He was very, very nice, very
- 1:13:03well spoken. He didn't throw anybody,
- 1:13:05especially the Commission or or the NCAA under the bus because I
- 1:13:09thought Notre Dame got absolutely screwed out of a
- 1:13:12chance to win a national championship.
- 1:13:13So I hey, Miami did make it and they did go to a championship
- 1:13:18game, so maybe they weren't wrong.
- 1:13:20But who knows, Maybe Nora Dane goes all the way to a national
- 1:13:23championship. I don't know.
- 1:13:25Love is one of the more dominant forces, one of the more dominant
- 1:13:28running backs we've seen. So very interesting.
- 1:13:30All right, my Golf Club of the week.
- 1:13:33This deserves a Golf Club. No doubt.
- 1:13:36Golf Club. Golf Club.
- 1:13:40All right, my golf clap of the week.
- 1:13:41I don't know. It could be my do so the week.
- 1:13:43It could be my golf clap of the week.
- 1:13:45It makes no sense. Now Travis Kelsey is getting
- 1:13:48married. He got engaged last year in the
- 1:13:51middle of the year. You saw him get married.
- 1:13:53They had these nice photos in the garden with him and Taylor
- 1:13:57Swift. Maybe he was forced to get
- 1:13:59engaged with her. Some people, including his
- 1:14:01father, said she was pushing them, pushing them, pushing
- 1:14:04them. No, no date has been set for
- 1:14:07their marriage. I'm just saying.
- 1:14:08But there is a date set that he is coming back and it was over
- 1:14:12the last 24 hours as the Kansas City Chiefs give him a one year
- 1:14:17deal worth $12 million for his 14th season.
- 1:14:21This makes no sense. Andy Reid, OK, I I don't
- 1:14:25understand it. And Andy Reid's a smart man.
- 1:14:28And I understand that Travis Kelsey is a guy that he loves.
- 1:14:31He looks up to this guy's a Hall of Famer.
- 1:14:33He's a special player. He's had problems with him on
- 1:14:36the sideline. How many times have we seen
- 1:14:38fatty Andy Reid yelling at him, maybe telling him, how many big
- 1:14:42whoppers are you giving me at the end of the game?
- 1:14:44How many big whoppers did you buy me before the game?
- 1:14:48And he signs up to A1 year, $12 million deal.
- 1:14:51What the hell is Travis Kelsey? I don't want to hear about what
- 1:14:54he did last year. The season was practically over.
- 1:14:57You lost Patrick Mahomes, the season was over.
- 1:15:00Now you're bringing them back. What is this spell for anybody?
- 1:15:03What is this spell for the organization?
- 1:15:05What is this spell for ancient organization that keeps keeping
- 1:15:09players at old ages? It's an absolute debacle.
- 1:15:14This is a dumb move and it's going to cost, yes, it's going
- 1:15:17to cost him a player in free agency, giving him $12 million.
- 1:15:22I, I, I could point out a couple.
- 1:15:24They could have gotten Isaiah Likely for that deal.
- 1:15:26Isaiah Likely would have signed a one year deal, $12 million to
- 1:15:30go play with Patrick Mahomes. There's other guys that are out
- 1:15:32there better than Travis Kelsey is right now.
- 1:15:35It is an absolute debacle. And yes, that is my golf clap of
- 1:15:39the day. I wouldn't even say it's my golf
- 1:15:41clap. I would spread it out and I
- 1:15:43would say it's a deuce and a clap to make fun.
- 1:15:47So there you go, there's the golf clap.
- 1:15:49Wonderful, Speedy. A little louder, please.
- 1:15:52A little louder, Speedy. There you go.
- 1:15:54It's something Speedy. I'm losing myself.
- 1:15:57I mean, Jake is, is waiting, I know, patiently and calmly.
- 1:16:00But, you know, maybe he should give us a Golf Club.
- 1:16:02But maybe when we get him on after our break, when we come
- 1:16:05back, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to have a very special
- 1:16:08guest. He's been on our show plenty of
- 1:16:10times. He is a great content creator.
- 1:16:14He sells things, hats, jerseys, you name it, he sells it and his
- 1:16:19Instagram is booming. Everything is booming for this
- 1:16:23guy. We love him.
- 1:16:24He knows his baseball and when we come back, we got a lot of
- 1:16:27baseball to get into with this guy.
- 1:16:29We're going to be talking to owner of Roughshod Supply
- 1:16:33Company and MLP content creator Jake Savicky.
- 1:16:36But first, our sports minute with the fish this.
- 1:16:41Is the Jabba and the Mouth Sports minute?
- 1:16:46All right guys, Iron Fisherman here with your sportsman.
- 1:16:48I got a couple of stories before we get into the scores this
- 1:16:51evening. In a continuation of a story we
- 1:16:54covered when it broke near the start of the NBA season, Pablo
- 1:16:57Torre of the Pablo Torre Speaks Out podcast on The Athletic
- 1:17:00promised a rebuttal to the NBA and Clippers owner Steve
- 1:17:04Ballmer, who denied any funny business related to All Star
- 1:17:07forward Kwide Leonard's contract negotiations with a fraudulent
- 1:17:11and now defunct team sponsor Aspiration.
- 1:17:15Despite bashing Tori publicly, Tori and all the other doubters,
- 1:17:19he stuck by his guns and today and recently made a stunt at the
- 1:17:24MIT Sloan Conference putting MBA Commissioner Adam Silver,
- 1:17:29Ballmer, Leonard and his uncle Dennis on blast.
- 1:17:33Tory revealed that in 2023, there was a whistleblower
- 1:17:37complaint filed to the SEC that revealed that multiple people
- 1:17:40alerted federal officials of the illegal salary cap aversion done
- 1:17:45by the Clippers to pay Kauai in order to stay with the team.
- 1:17:48Tory told the conference that I just cannot help but wonder what
- 1:17:52other evidence Adam Silver's MBA might be sitting on.
- 1:17:56And I actually happened to mean that last part quite literally.
- 1:18:00And he told the conference to look under their seats, where he
- 1:18:03and his team had literally taped the whistleblower blower
- 1:18:06complaint and evidence for everyone in attendance to read.
- 1:18:09Tory then had some fun trolling Silver after the stunt taunting
- 1:18:12him. That Adam Silver all the
- 1:18:14evidence you need for the Kawhi Ballmer case was just a bit
- 1:18:17closer than you realize this morning with a picture of the
- 1:18:21complaint post on social media. Well, the ball is now firmly
- 1:18:25back in the NBA's court as the lying billionaire Ballmer should
- 1:18:28be facing some stiff sanctions if, and that's a big if,
- 1:18:32Commissioner Silver capitulates to the overwhelming obvious fact
- 1:18:36that the Clippers cheated the salary cap.
- 1:18:38Full stop. Former Michigan head coach
- 1:18:41Sharon Moore has pleaded no contest to two new misdemeanor
- 1:18:45charges in exchange for the felony and two different
- 1:18:47misdemeanors. He was charged with the scandal
- 1:18:49that took down the Wolverines coach last season.
- 1:18:51Moore, who's 40 years old, was dismissed on December 10th over
- 1:18:55an inappropriate relationship with a staffer that led to the
- 1:18:57fall of the once highly thought of coach, who was defensive
- 1:19:00coordinator for Michigan national championship team in
- 1:19:022023 before taking over as head coach.
- 1:19:05Moore was charged with felony home invasion and stalking
- 1:19:09charges after he drove to the staff members department, who
- 1:19:12was having a relationship with Extramaritally by the way, and
- 1:19:15threatened to harm himself with a butter knife.
- 1:19:19Under the plea agreement, Moore will be sentenced on April 14th
- 1:19:21and is facing up to a year of jail time, although attorneys in
- 1:19:24the case do not expect him to serve any time behind bars.
- 1:19:28Moore was 16 and 8 as a Wolverines coach in less than
- 1:19:30two seasons on the job and will likely never be able to reach
- 1:19:33anything close to these sites again after embarrassing himself
- 1:19:36and his prestigious former university, regardless of what
- 1:19:39Buckeyes fans may think. Besides, they've got some
- 1:19:42similar issues at the top of their university these days as

- 1:22:07talking to owner of Rough Shot. Yes, Rough Shot Supply company
- 1:22:12and MLB content creator, our friend Jake Savicky.
- 1:22:16Jake, what's up? How we doing, boys?
- 1:22:18We good, We're good. Sounds like it.
- 1:22:19Yeah, we're, we're a little explosive, I mean.
- 1:22:22I tell you what, if anybody ever asked me what is, what is New
- 1:22:25York like, I'm just going to say go listen to the Job in the
- 1:22:28Mouth show. That'll tell you.
- 1:22:29I feel like that's going to tell you exactly what New York is
- 1:22:32like. You guys are, you guys are a fun
- 1:22:35listen, I'll tell you that well. Thank you, Jake.
- 1:22:37I, I mean, you're a fun listen too.
- 1:22:38I, I check out your Instagram all the time.
- 1:22:41Some of the crazy posts you on a baseball field, some of the
- 1:22:44stuff that you do is absolutely hilarious.
- 1:22:47Before we get in to your take on what's going on with the WBC,
- 1:22:52some of the off seasons, I know you're a Dodger guy as you're
- 1:22:55wearing a Dodger hat. I'm a Yankee guy, so I'd like to
- 1:22:57hear your take on that. How did what what influences you
- 1:23:02to go out there and what makes you kind of think of the content
- 1:23:06that you put out there? Not a whole lot, I'll tell you
- 1:23:08that I just I see stuff I said. I think This is why I'm Whatever
- 1:23:14success is considered in the social media world.
- 1:23:17I think This is why I'm successful.
- 1:23:19If I if I post a video that is 18 seconds long, there's a
- 1:23:22pretty good chance from thinking about it to posting it, it took
- 1:23:26me two minutes and 18 seconds. And if it flops, I don't give a
- 1:23:29fuck if it does bad, Well, if it does good, I'm like, that's
- 1:23:32awesome. I know so many creators that put
- 1:23:35in all this time and editing and more power to them.
- 1:23:38I wish I could, but I just don't get.
- 1:23:41I don't ride the roller coaster of social media.
- 1:23:43I do what I want. People like it, people don't
- 1:23:45like it. I'm in and out.
- 1:23:47It doesn't matter to me. So I think that's where you
- 1:23:51know, the, the success, we'll call it, comes from.
- 1:23:54And as far as thinking it, I, I coached it for a long time.
- 1:23:57I, I played it and I, I was extremely athletic and I wasn't
- 1:24:05good enough at the game. So I think for me when I coached
- 1:24:09it, I'm like, man, I don't want any athletic kid to, to not be
- 1:24:12good enough because they weren't taught all the right ways.
- 1:24:14And this is not a oh, my coaches didn't teach me.
- 1:24:17They'll tell you they were, I went to a small high school that
- 1:24:20our our coach was the construction worker dad of a
- 1:24:23senior, you know what I mean? They'll tell you.
- 1:24:26So I think just seeing the game in that way when I was coaching
- 1:24:30and now watching it now I just see little things that, you
- 1:24:34know, I, I just part as a fan and part as a coach, I think is
- 1:24:37where my content really comes from.
- 1:24:38But you know, I and there's an empowerment to it.
- 1:24:42I don't need anybody's validation, but when all you're
- 1:24:46doing is like throwing your own thoughts out there and people
- 1:24:48like it, you're like, all right, cool.
- 1:24:49Yeah, it makes you want to keep doing it.
- 1:24:51I'm not thinking the content. I'm just speaking my mind.
- 1:24:54So I'm sure you guys are very familiar with that.
- 1:24:57I hate it. I hate social media.
- 1:24:59I don't even I have my guys run my social medias because I don't
- 1:25:03even want to go on. I don't want to look at it.
- 1:25:05I don't get it. I don't I don't get the
- 1:25:07Instagram and now Facebook is getting more popular for some
- 1:25:10reason. People are going on that more
- 1:25:12the old timers. It's like a my base of, you
- 1:25:14know, the new or the new improved Instagram.
- 1:25:19So I don't get it. And then there's TikTok people
- 1:25:22dancing and prancing, singing their little Heidi doodle.
- 1:25:26You know, that stupid crap that they're singing.
- 1:25:28I I don't get it. But hey, you know what?
- 1:25:30We have to do it. I we're still trying to figure
- 1:25:33it out. We, we do have the Spotify and
- 1:25:35Apple pretty much conquered. We're doing such a great job.
- 1:25:38Our contents out there. We're we're, we're gravitating
- 1:25:41in all parts of the world and we're still trying to, to figure
- 1:25:44out the YouTube because the YouTube is, if you're not a
- 1:25:47niche, if you're not just talking about Yankee baseball or
- 1:25:50Dodger baseball or New York Knick basketball, you're,
- 1:25:54you're, we're talking about everything.
- 1:25:56We're speaking about everything. It's hard to get the algorithm
- 1:26:00to, to get these guys and press these guys because everybody's
- 1:26:03got content out there. And let me tell you something,
- 1:26:05Jake, the content out there is garbage.
- 1:26:07It's really, really bad. And I don't care what anybody
- 1:26:11says, everybody's going to say I'm a hater.
- 1:26:13All right? You want to contradict what I'm
- 1:26:14saying on this show, that's fine.
- 1:26:17I'm not afraid. I will tell you right to your
- 1:26:19face what I think of you. If if you want my honest
- 1:26:21opinion, I'll tell you the truth.
- 1:26:23But it's garbage. And Jake, when I look at your
- 1:26:25stuff, it's unique because I'm not trying to blow your head up.
- 1:26:29You're just different. You don't give an here.
- 1:26:31I don't curse on this show. You don't give a shit and and
- 1:26:34that's, that's the way you put your content out there.
- 1:26:36And that to me gravitates and draws me to go check out what
- 1:26:40Jake Savicki is doing because I, I think first of all, your
- 1:26:44apparel is great. What you're doing right now,
- 1:26:46selling your apparel is sensational.
- 1:26:48You're very everything that you do, everything that you're
- 1:26:52putting out there, I think it gravitates to the younger fan
- 1:26:55and that's what you're trying to draw.
- 1:26:56You're trying to bring the younger baseball fan to kind of
- 1:26:59check out what you're doing because that's what that's what
- 1:27:02people are doing right now. What the younger fans are on
- 1:27:04Instagram all day long. The younger fans are on TikTok
- 1:27:07all day long. Not the older people like me and
- 1:27:10you that are getting up there in age and saying, why the hell am
- 1:27:13I going to sit on Instagram all day when I can put my thumb in
- 1:27:17my ass and watch a ball game? You know what I mean?
- 1:27:19That's just. Me, I'll say this to that point,
- 1:27:22when I do events like if I like I worked one for Bruce Bolt and
- 1:27:26I'll do these things called not your average baseball camp.
- 1:27:28And that's with like the coach racks of the world who they're
- 1:27:32they're huge. They're huge in this space and
- 1:27:34they do it for a living. And I do as well, but on a
- 1:27:37different scale. I'll go to those and the, and I
- 1:27:40mean, you're my people. There's a reason you like my
- 1:27:42content. These kids will show up to these
- 1:27:45camps with their dads and dads will see me and be like, what's
- 1:27:48up, buddy? You know him.
- 1:27:48And they're like, Nope. And then dad's like, I do what's
- 1:27:51up, my man? I'm like, yeah, you're my, these
- 1:27:52are my people. You know, my content is it goes
- 1:27:56both ways. The kids love it.
- 1:27:58The the adults, I think the kids love it.
- 1:28:00The adults get it. I think they understand it.
- 1:28:02It's I always say like if you don't know baseball and you
- 1:28:06watch my content, I'm an asshole.
- 1:28:08I don't. I won't cuss on this show, no.
- 1:28:10That's fine, That's fine. That's fine.
- 1:28:11OK, we got. You OK?
- 1:28:13I used to tell my kids when I coached I'm like, look, I'm
- 1:28:15going to cuss sometimes. If I'm censoring myself.
- 1:28:18You're just not going to get the best version of me because I'm
- 1:28:19going to be thinking about how to say something the right way
- 1:28:21instead of just saying it. So I just say things.
- 1:28:23But the kids, I think they like it.
- 1:28:26The adults kind of understand it.
- 1:28:28Like I always tell people like, if you, if you don't know
- 1:28:30baseball, you watch my content. I'm an asshole.
- 1:28:32If you know baseball, you're like, yeah, he's speaking the
- 1:28:34love language. This is what we do.
- 1:28:35We talk shit to each other. This is how this is how we show
- 1:28:38love. Like, am I going to take Tarek
- 1:28:40Scubal's fastball that's 100 and one 450 dead center?
- 1:28:44Absolutely not. He knows that.
- 1:28:45But some of my followers don't, they think I really would.
- 1:28:48And I'm like, well, the last time I took live at bats, I
- 1:28:50literally pulled my groin taking a pitch so well, you know, but.
- 1:28:55I have, I've had my back and forth banter with Jabba because
- 1:28:58me and him have gone back and forth saying I, I told him, you
- 1:29:01give me five chances to steal against you.
- 1:29:03I'm stealing against him. I, I, I'm telling you right now,
- 1:29:05100% a hundred. I was fast on the bases and, and
- 1:29:09remember I told him to pick your catcher, but I get to pick the,
- 1:29:12the hitter. You give me 3 hitters and I get
- 1:29:14to pick the hitter because I want the hitter to swing.
- 1:29:17And if you pitch, you pitch it over the plate, they're going to
- 1:29:19smack the ball. That's your problem.
- 1:29:21I, I'm, I'm going to read your kick.
- 1:29:23I'm going to read your, your throwing motion.
- 1:29:25I'm going to read if it's going into the dirt and if I read
- 1:29:28right, I'm beating you to the second base.
- 1:29:30So, and that's your fault. If you throw it in the dirt,
- 1:29:33that's not my fault. I, so I've got back and forth.
- 1:29:36I never said I can hit 95 mile per hour pitch by him.
- 1:29:39But if I'm in the batting cage 5, you know, 5-6 times a day and
- 1:29:44I'm, I'm getting 100 pitches and I'm getting the timing down.
- 1:29:47Eventually I'm going to figure out how to hit a 9095 mile per
- 1:29:50hour fastball. It's all timing.
- 1:29:52It's seeing the ball. You see the ball, you hit the
- 1:29:54ball. So for all those Jabba and the
- 1:29:57Jabba and the mouth fans are just Jabba fans.
- 1:29:59And I love you Jabba. But I'll, I'll be quite honest
- 1:30:02with you, Jabba thinks that I have no athletic ability
- 1:30:05whatsoever. Meanwhile, I was a great hockey
- 1:30:07player. I was a great athlete and he
- 1:30:09just did well. You weren't a professional
- 1:30:10athlete. Well, hold on one second, Jabba.
- 1:30:12I could have been a a professional hockey player if I
- 1:30:16didn't hurt my knee. But Jabba doesn't want to give
- 1:30:18me any credit for that. He doesn't want to.
- 1:30:20I could have done mixed martial arts.
- 1:30:22I could have fought in professional mixed martial arts.
- 1:30:24I could have been a professional boxer.
- 1:30:26But he says, well, that that's a baseball.
- 1:30:28What then? What is baseball, Jabba?
- 1:30:30What is it so? It's it's difficult to play of.
- 1:30:34Course, it's difficult. Everything's difficult.
- 1:30:36I mean, seriously. Listen, I'm, I'm not going to
- 1:30:39lie to you, I'm going to side with job on this only because.
- 1:30:42Of course you. Will every no, because everybody
- 1:30:44once I heard the story of I could have if I didn't hurt my
- 1:30:47knee. This is like that's like the
- 1:30:49story everybody uses as a joke and for you to use it seriously,
- 1:30:52I got I got to side with job on this.
- 1:30:55First of all, injuries, first of all.
- 1:30:56This is a injury avoidance is part of being a professional.
- 1:31:00So these guys, you know, as far as a journey there, just say it
- 1:31:03all adds up. Just saying that I was getting a
- 1:31:06full ride to Niagara University. I was only to play one year and
- 1:31:09I was being quoted as a possible late first round, early second
- 1:31:13round pick so. This is hockey.
- 1:31:15Hockey I was a. Hockey player, yes I will.
- 1:31:17What I will give you credit on is I think that when it comes to
- 1:31:22skilled sports that to me it's probably my favorite.
- 1:31:26Outside of baseball, it's probably my favorite sport for
- 1:31:28so many reasons. One, the skill that it takes
- 1:31:31unbelievable. 2, it's a fucking man.
- 1:31:34It's a man's sport. That's the bot.
- 1:31:36It's the man Leus. Maybe, maybe you could count
- 1:31:38rugby and those guys out there. But like hockey to me is just I
- 1:31:44even all the way down. I just thought about this cuz I
- 1:31:46own a clothing company. I I send stuff to some
- 1:31:49basketball guys, I send stuff to baseball guys.
- 1:31:51I'm like, I hope they wear this down the tunnel for pregame.
- 1:31:54I would never send one to a hockey guy because they're not
- 1:31:56wearing shit. You know, this is the culture.
- 1:31:58I'm like, they're they're just men, dude.
- 1:32:01You could look at the whole team.
- 1:32:02They're going to be probably wearing a, a black sweatshirt, a
- 1:32:05black T-shirt, a Gray shirt with some generic Gray pants, black
- 1:32:09pants, white, whatever. They're not dressing up for
- 1:32:12nothing. And I'm like, I love these guys
- 1:32:13for, for so many reasons, but hockey to me is the second best
- 1:32:17sport in the world. Jake, you were mentioning that
- 1:32:19the athletes used to work on Wellness management.
- 1:32:20Does that mean they have to hire their own version of Alex
- 1:32:22Guerrero? I don't know you.
- 1:32:26Had to mention. Him you did.
- 1:32:29It's easy to make fun of him. For what he's been allegedly
- 1:32:31trying to do. Oh, Wellness coordinator,
- 1:32:33please. I, I, what is a Wellness
- 1:32:35coordinator? I would love to hear what the
- 1:32:37Raiders take, what a Wellness coordinator does.
- 1:32:41Because to me, it's a position that nobody's ever heard of.
- 1:32:44He's probably making hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting on
- 1:32:47his ass and twiddling his thumbs and maybe doing some other
- 1:32:50things to, you know, athletes in the locker room.
- 1:32:52I'm just saying we are talking. He's sitting, he's sitting in
- 1:32:56private telling somebody, I can't believe this actually
- 1:32:58worked. I can't believe they bought
- 1:32:59this, this job title. I told him this is what I was.
- 1:33:01They said yeah, here's 250 KA year, go get them.
- 1:33:04The only one that was the only one was buying Tom Brady's
- 1:33:08drinks was Aaron Rodgers the TB 12 Anyways, you're talking to
- 1:33:16the owner of Roughshod supply and company and MLB content
- 1:33:21creator Jake Savicky. He's been a friend of the show.
- 1:33:24He does such a great job on Instagram, TikTok, all all the
- 1:33:26platforms he's great. He has such a great platformer
- 1:33:30of content out there. His apparel is is something you
- 1:33:33never sent me anything which I'm upset at you Jake, because.
- 1:33:36There's there's, there's a big story to that.
- 1:33:39The main story is I'm the worst, but there's a full story to that
- 1:33:42too. We could talk about that.
- 1:33:43Later, we'll talk. We'll talk off air because we,
- 1:33:45we got to be, we got to have a conversation off air.
- 1:33:47But I want to get it to the WBC. I mean, we, we've gone on and
- 1:33:51off with everything that's going on in our lives.
- 1:33:53But the WBC I, I've been watching it and I'm AUSA fan.
- 1:33:57I want USA to do well. They have, as we've had AJ
- 1:34:01Pierzynski come out and say, oh, this is the dream team, like the
- 1:34:0592 basketball team. And I sit there and I say, AJ,
- 1:34:10please, I don't want to hear this garbage.
- 1:34:11Please. All right, I, I we understand
- 1:34:14this is probably the best USA team we've ever seen put
- 1:34:17together. If you want to call him a dream
- 1:34:19team, fine, they're a dream team.
- 1:34:21The fact here is there's a lot of mistakes going on with these
- 1:34:24foreign teams. We we saw it against Brazil, the
- 1:34:28young pitchers, they don't know what a pitching clock is.
- 1:34:30Balks. There were so many mistakes
- 1:34:32going on. And I think this is the problem
- 1:34:35with baseball right now. And I'll say this about Rob
- 1:34:37Manfred. I'm not a big fan of his I, but
- 1:34:39I understand why he's doing it. He wants to bring the younger
- 1:34:42fans to like the sport, draw them to come away from the NFL
- 1:34:46or, or the NBAI understand what he's doing.
- 1:34:49But does this help the younger player that wants to go and play
- 1:34:53professional baseball in the future?
- 1:34:55When you're in a tournament like this, a 17 year old, not an
- 1:34:58understanding what the pitch clock is because he holds the
- 1:35:00ball too long and how many times is he, is he making these
- 1:35:04mistakes? And I, I just, I don't like it.
- 1:35:07I think it hurts the game. Your thoughts to these rules and
- 1:35:10and regulations that baseball is bringing to the forefront not
- 1:35:14only on a national stage but an international stage?
- 1:35:17Thank you. Overall, at the end of the day,
- 1:35:19it's good. It has to be good.
- 1:35:20It's electric, it's fun. It's all over social media.
- 1:35:23This is where the kids are, They're watching.
- 1:35:24I saw a clip. I work obviously with baseball
- 1:35:27Dugout. They posted a clip of Ronald
- 1:35:29Acuna doing the gritty what he scored and I'm like, man, he
- 1:35:33must have hit a bomb and gritty to cross home plate.
- 1:35:35It was a sacrifice fly and he was on 3rd and it was to the
- 1:35:39warning track in dead center. So he knew he had time.
- 1:35:41He runs home and Gritty's the last 10 feet looking in the
- 1:35:44other team's dugout. And I'm like, this is what kids
- 1:35:47like. This goes viral.
- 1:35:49This gets them excited about it and I'm all for it because only
- 1:35:53because I think the culture, that kind of culture in
- 1:35:57baseball, those guys that do that fully expect repercussions
- 1:36:01as well. They're not stupid and they're
- 1:36:03going to deal with them, but they're willing to do it because
- 1:36:05that's what they do. So but the like you said, the
- 1:36:08pitch clock, I was not a fan of it.
- 1:36:10Every guy I've ever talked to that has played professionally
- 1:36:12actually likes it because at the end of the day, them it's a job.
- 1:36:15It's still a job and they're getting home from their job an
- 1:36:17hour earlier because of it. That's great.
- 1:36:20It it speeds the game up. The thing I say this all the
- 1:36:23time, baseball itself is, is boring.
- 1:36:28If you don't know, if you don't know the game, look at that's a
- 1:36:31sacrifice fly. That's crazy.
- 1:36:36So, you know, look at the other team on the fucking rail just
- 1:36:39going Jesus. And nobody's getting drilled for
- 1:36:42that. I guarantee the next guy didn't
- 1:36:43get hit in the back. It's just this part of the game.
- 1:36:45So I think that stuff helps. I think it's good for him when
- 1:36:48it comes to the pitch clock, everybody I've talked to that
- 1:36:51actually plays the game has said they like it.
- 1:36:53It speeds things up. It we're it's a job and that's
- 1:36:56fair. But when it comes to growing the
- 1:36:57game, you know, that 17 year old when you talk about, you know,
- 1:37:01World Baseball Classic, Yeah, he doesn't know that.
- 1:37:03And I don't know if it's the same kid, but a senior in high
- 1:37:06school, frigging jam job. Aaron Judge double play to get
- 1:37:09out of an inning. Like that's pretty freaking cool
- 1:37:11for kids to go. Yeah, that's sick.
- 1:37:14I want to, I could do that, like it.
- 1:37:16And that's baseball. I mean, baseball is to your
- 1:37:20point against, against Jabba, could you steal a bag?
- 1:37:23It's anybody's game on any, anybody's day.
- 1:37:25I mean, the, the Dodgers were built to dominate baseball last
- 1:37:31year and it it took 3 inch and a half plays from the Blue Jays to
- 1:37:37to win the World Series. They could have gone either way.
- 1:37:40And I didn't know 70% of the Blue Jays roster before that
- 1:37:44playoffs didn't know them, never heard of them.
- 1:37:46And they were unbelievable. So these things, you know, look
- 1:37:49at this, I mean, watching Judge do this, yeah, I will also say
- 1:37:53how cool it is to watch him do this after I say watching him,
- 1:37:58you know, get a get a jam job, ground ball to end an inning.
- 1:38:02But that's what it shows kids like, hey, this game can be
- 1:38:04played fun. I think this is some of the best
- 1:38:06baseball we see. And to me, I say it all the
- 1:38:10time, the fun changes as you grow up, but you want to keep it
- 1:38:12the whole time. These guys have it.
- 1:38:14I coached high school baseball and I watched 16 year olds play
- 1:38:17a tournament in the middle of summer in the middle of nowhere
- 1:38:19with no scouts anywhere. They go over 3 and feel like
- 1:38:23they they're never going to get a scholarship.
- 1:38:24I'm like, nobody freaking saw it dude, who cares?
- 1:38:27What are you stressed about? And then I go to an Angels game
- 1:38:30that night and I see three guys I've never heard of, which means
- 1:38:33they're 1 / 4 day away from going back to AAA and making 5
- 1:38:37grand a month instead of five grand a day.
- 1:38:39And they're all dancing, having a great time pregame.
- 1:38:41I'm like, these guys are enjoying their time.
- 1:38:44This is why they're good. They're loose, they're having
- 1:38:45fun. So I think the World Baseball
- 1:38:48Classic overall for the younger generation is, is really good.
- 1:38:53I think the publicity it gets it's it's the only thing going
- 1:38:56on. It Trump's spring training.
- 1:38:58I mean, if if you're trying to get a kid into baseball, you go
- 1:39:00watch this World Baseball Classic.
- 1:39:02You're not going watch this quiet boring spring training
- 1:39:05game where nobody gives a shit and and all the even even the
- 1:39:08best players on the team, they leave in the 4th inning after
- 1:39:11their second at bat. That's not getting you into
- 1:39:13baseball well. I guess.
- 1:39:15I guess you're right. You know, I, I think, I think, I
- 1:39:18think the World Baseball Classic does a good job.
- 1:39:20But yeah, as a fan, I prefer the the four minute at bat where a
- 1:39:26pitcher's taking his time, the hitter's taking their time and
- 1:39:28you're like, OK, this is a chess match.
- 1:39:30That's that's baseball. So I guess to my point, if you
- 1:39:33don't know baseball, it's a boring game.
- 1:39:34That's all there is to it. You don't understand why this
- 1:39:37third inning, you know, at bat with Aaron Judge when it's a
- 1:39:42pitcher's duel. Like, what if you don't
- 1:39:44understand why this at bat is the game and you're you're just
- 1:39:47gonna be like, cool, that guy hit the ball, Yeah.
- 1:39:48But Jake, Jake, you have somebody like Speedy, let's say
- 1:39:51he's doing a play by play and, and there's 4 minutes and
- 1:39:54they're standing on a box. Could you imagine how many words
- 1:39:56Speedy can get out in a minute? So you go 4 minutes, you have
- 1:39:594000 words. But no, no, no, no.
- 1:40:04You know that guy that's trying to sell things?
- 1:40:06Oh, but $2.00, three dollar, four dollar, $5, you know,
- 1:40:09that's Speedy. Right there that auctioneer
- 1:40:11yeah, I feel that I I think I do think for me personally, I I
- 1:40:16would prefer no clocks, no nothing, but I don't I don't
- 1:40:21hate it. I thought I would more than I
- 1:40:23do, but I don't hate it. It moves the game along that's
- 1:40:25fine same result. I I originally hated it for the
- 1:40:28players because if you, if I'm up there in the box and I got 15
- 1:40:33seconds, it feels like between pitches and scoobles pitching, I
- 1:40:36want a few seconds to collect my thoughts and try to take a guess
- 1:40:39of what he's going to throw me because that's the only way I'm
- 1:40:41hitting it. If I guess right, if I'm like,
- 1:40:43shit, he just broke me off of, you know, disgusting change up
- 1:40:48and now it's 1-2 and I have 3 seconds to dust my cleats off
- 1:40:52and get in the box and get ready to hit.
- 1:40:53I don't get to think I'm just in defense mode.
- 1:40:55I don't want that. I want to at least give me 10
- 1:40:58seconds to think about it. So but they don't seem to mind
- 1:41:01and they're good. These guys are so good.
- 1:41:03So I don't know. I As a fan, it is what it is.
- 1:41:07As a purist, I prefer it's not there.
- 1:41:09Yeah, I want to go to the other controversy that was going into
- 1:41:11the WBC, which was that insurance controversy that
- 1:41:14Lindor and a couple other players on the on the Puerto
- 1:41:17Rican side didn't play. You had a couple of Dominican
- 1:41:19players, not one of the most of the big names, but they dropped
- 1:41:22out. Is that something that you think
- 1:41:23that maybe either MLB could help on or some other professional
- 1:41:26leagues around the world could help on?
- 1:41:27So you even get more of those bigger names into the WBC like
- 1:41:29you were saying these to younger eyes to see these flashy guys
- 1:41:32like the acunias that are injury prone players but very good when
- 1:41:35they're healthy. I guess I would have to really
- 1:41:37look at the connection between the WBC and MLB, which it sounds
- 1:41:40like there is none other than obviously the players and the
- 1:41:44stadium. They play in Dayton Park, they
- 1:41:47play in Florida. Other than that, I don't.
- 1:41:50It sounds like there's zero connection between the two.
- 1:41:53This is where the MLB drops the ball in a lot of things.
- 1:41:55It's like get involved with the people that are pushing your
- 1:41:57business. This is a phenomenal tournament.
- 1:42:00Everybody loves it. Why are you not making it more
- 1:42:04accessible for your best players and covering what what the
- 1:42:08chances of them getting hurt are there?
- 1:42:10They are slim. They're going to be playing
- 1:42:12spring training or they're going to be playing in these games.
- 1:42:15They're going to be playing either way.
- 1:42:17Honestly, it might be less with the World Baseball Classic
- 1:42:19because they're just playing a game and then they're taking a
- 1:42:22day. They're not playing 35 straight
- 1:42:25games and spring training and going.
- 1:42:27So I I would prefer to see the MLB just recognize the things
- 1:42:33that help you and take part in them.
- 1:42:35Of course, we want to see the best players on the planet
- 1:42:37playing in this tournament. Look at look at Team USA
- 1:42:40Scooble. I think Scooble does a probably
- 1:42:42unpopular take. He pitches once and that was all
- 1:42:46he's going to do. And he's like, man, that was
- 1:42:47pretty fun. I didn't see that coming.
- 1:42:50I'm I'm going to see what I can do to pitch again in my head.
- 1:42:54I love America. Don't pitch Scooble.
- 1:42:56It's not smart. I don't think you're going to
- 1:42:58get hurt, but you are. You're talking 456 generations
- 1:43:01of money you're about to get. I agree with you.
- 1:43:04America will will be here. Just get your bags, stay
- 1:43:09healthy, do your thing. And I hope it's with somebody
- 1:43:11other than Detroit because I don't, I don't love the way
- 1:43:13they've treated him. But, you know, and I don't think
- 1:43:16they've treated him bad and he understands it's business.
- 1:43:18Important treat anybody well we. Know this yeah, yeah, I just to
- 1:43:22me, that's going to be an Otani situation with the Angels where
- 1:43:25they say we're going to we're not going to we're not going to
- 1:43:29give you the bag. We're going to let this ride out
- 1:43:31we're not going to trade you for a whole bunch of very talented
- 1:43:34guys. We're going to let the season
- 1:43:36end, give you our most competitive offer and see what
- 1:43:39happens. It's like that's what the Angels
- 1:43:41did, and part of me respects them for it because they didn't
- 1:43:44trade away the greatest player in history that they won't go
- 1:43:46down as that team. They'll go down as a team that
- 1:43:50just had him for six years and then got outbid and he went
- 1:43:53somewhere else. But you don't want to be the
- 1:43:55team that traded Babe Ruth, you know what I mean?
- 1:43:58Like, I do respect the Angels a little bit in that factor, but I
- 1:44:01think their program, their organization would have been a
- 1:44:04lot better if they would have traded for about six of the best
- 1:44:06prospects in baseball for Otani. Ladies and gentlemen, just so
- 1:44:09you know, we are talking to the owner of Roughshod Supply
- 1:44:12Company and MLB content creator Jake Savicky.
- 1:44:16I want to say something. His glasses that he's wearing
- 1:44:18are not meta glasses. Just so everybody knows he's not
- 1:44:21getting that information on his meta glasses because if he is,
- 1:44:25well, then I don't know. He's a content creator that
- 1:44:27likes to use beta. But I want I want to get into
- 1:44:31this Yankee stuff. And I know you're a baseball
- 1:44:34enthusiast. And I was one that took shots at
- 1:44:38the New York Yankees on the Spencer Jones thing.
- 1:44:40And I, I thought, I think Spencer Jones is a star.
- 1:44:43I knew he was a star when they drafted him.
- 1:44:46He was a late first round draft pick, just like Aaron Judge.
- 1:44:49I, I said it on this show two years ago and I told Speedy when
- 1:44:52he was drafted. I believe that this guy is the
- 1:44:56left-handed power or the left-handed Aaron Judge in the
- 1:45:00future. I, I think he's that type of
- 1:45:02player now. When you look at his numbers in
- 1:45:05AAA and AA and Aaron Judges AAA and AA numbers, they're almost
- 1:45:09identical, almost identical. And when you look at both of
- 1:45:14these guys, they're both coming into the majors.
- 1:45:16Aaron Judge came at the end of 24.
- 1:45:19And if you look at Spencer Jones, he is coming into the
- 1:45:22league at the end of 24. You look at both these guys,
- 1:45:25they're almost identically profiled.
- 1:45:28And I, I, I went back and forth with fish on the show.
- 1:45:30I've gone I've I've gone all over the place with people on
- 1:45:34social media. I have attacked fans, Yankee
- 1:45:36fans, trade them. Let's get as much as we can for
- 1:45:39him. I'm going to be like, do you
- 1:45:40guys actually know what you're talking about?
- 1:45:43And and by the way, Brian Cashman is an idiot for him to
- 1:45:45come out and say that I'm going to send Jason Dominguez down and
- 1:45:48Spencer Jones is going to be pushed down even further to
- 1:45:50Jason Dominguez when this this, I'm going to say Mother Effa is
- 1:45:55better than Jason Dominguez. And I don't care what anybody
- 1:45:58says. This guy should be on this
- 1:46:00roster in the beginning of the season.
- 1:46:02I'm tired of hearing the Yankees say, well, I don't know if he's
- 1:46:05good enough. I don't know if he's best funny
- 1:46:07fast enough or he strikes out too much.
- 1:46:10So did Aaron Judge. So did Aaron Judge.
- 1:46:13He's the best hitter in baseball, the best power hitter
- 1:46:16in baseball. I don't want to hear this
- 1:46:17rubbish anymore. Jake, sell this to the Yankee
- 1:46:20fans. Is this guy a star or not?
- 1:46:23Listen, listen, I'm, I'm with you as much as anybody could be
- 1:46:26with you on this, this topic. I, I coached against him in high
- 1:46:30school. If I don't know if you know that
- 1:46:32four years I watched him from Yeah, I watched him from
- 1:46:36freshman year to senior year. He was 96 off the mound in the
- 1:46:39All American Games as a lefty. He is an absolute gazelle.
- 1:46:44He, we had him up with the bases loaded up by three and I was
- 1:46:49like almost, I almost intentionally walked him
- 1:46:52actually, I was that close. But instead I was like put
- 1:46:55everybody on the right side of the field, throw him in and if
- 1:46:58he hits a Grand Slam, I can live with that.
- 1:47:00Fair enough. We throw him in, he gets inside
- 1:47:03this ball and slices a triple down the left field line.
- 1:47:05My left fielders like basically in center field.
- 1:47:07I'm like this freaking kid and he's flying.
- 1:47:10And you know what I had to do? I had to load the bases with
- 1:47:13intentional walks because he was on 3rd and as the winning run.
- 1:47:16I'm like, I can't even we can't even go infield in and like
- 1:47:21field it looking back and throw it to 1st.
- 1:47:23He'll score. He's an athlete.
- 1:47:24The kid is an athlete. So when he went to Vandy and
- 1:47:27just started hitting, I said this makes so much sense.
- 1:47:30It's crazy. And to me, I also, I also
- 1:47:34watched Mickey Moyniak won one in 2016.
- 1:47:36I I watched him same school. They went to the same school.
- 1:47:40I watched both of them and I love Mickey good dude.
- 1:47:44He's a true five tool like guy as far as the the skill, they're
- 1:47:49the, the athleticism, all that. Obviously not A5 tool.
- 1:47:53You know guy throughout his career, but he's got he's got a
- 1:47:56good makeup. It's not Spencer Jones.
- 1:47:58Spencer Jones in high school is a different animal.
- 1:48:00He is now. If I'm doing it, I, I know
- 1:48:03everybody was kind of pissed about Grisham for 20 mil.
- 1:48:06And it's like, hey, you knew you were going to bring belly back.
- 1:48:09Why didn't you do that real quick?
- 1:48:11Why didn't you put Spencer in right?
- 1:48:13You put belly in center or you put keep Aaron Judge in right,
- 1:48:18put put Spencer in in left. Now you got a a glove on his
- 1:48:22right hand going to the line. That makes it easier.
- 1:48:25You don't have the backhand double S down there.
- 1:48:26He's got speed. He's good.
- 1:48:28You have two, in my opinion, Gold Glove type of outfielders
- 1:48:33and Aaron Judge, who is very good.
- 1:48:35He's a he's a good outfielder. He also plays right field, the
- 1:48:38easiest position in baseball, so it's like why?
- 1:48:42Why risk anything more with him? He's getting a little older by
- 1:48:45baseball means. Put Spencer in right for all I
- 1:48:48care. Put Dominguez and left if you
- 1:48:50want him there and DA chair and Judge.
- 1:48:52Let him be Otani. Let him friggin just hit sit and
- 1:48:55hit, not wear and tear on his body.
- 1:48:58You got about a three or four year window with Aaron Judge to
- 1:49:00win. Hopefully a couple for the
- 1:49:02Yankees. And everyone thinks I hate the
- 1:49:04Yankees. I hate how the Yankees are run.
- 1:49:06I'm like everybody I grew up wearing #2 and playing
- 1:49:09shortstop. I had him on my wall.
- 1:49:11It was him and Seattle Mariners, a rod.
- 1:49:14That was my guy. I didn't, OK, I did not Adam as
- 1:49:18a Yankee fan. I wasn't a Derek Jeter fan.
- 1:49:19Everybody that listens to the shows.
- 1:49:21I did not root for Derek Jeter. I met Derek Jeter 3 or 4 times.
- 1:49:25I wasn't too fond of him after it.
- 1:49:27As a matter of fact, I wanted to.
- 1:49:28Squeeze the cheese. Squeeze the cheese when he was
- 1:49:31around me. But yeah, I, I wasn't a big fan
- 1:49:34of Derek Jeter. I met Alex Rodriguez.
- 1:49:37I sat down for 15 minutes, 15 minutes, Jake speaking about
- 1:49:41everything but baseball with Alex Rodriguez.
- 1:49:44Everybody tells me Alex is a piece of garbage.
- 1:49:46He's this, he's that. Not what I not that I remember
- 1:49:50I, I actually had a good conversation with the guy.
- 1:49:52He loves sports. He loves football.
- 1:49:54He loves basketball as he bought the Timberwolves.
- 1:49:58I mean, the guy is a genius when it comes to business.
- 1:50:01If I sat down for more than 5 minutes and got some business
- 1:50:03information from him, I'd probably be rich right now.
- 1:50:06So I, I, I mean, the guy is a genius.
- 1:50:09So I again, I know you're a Derek Jeter fan.
- 1:50:12I know there's a lot of Derek Jeter fans that have have come
- 1:50:15on this show and told me ex baseball players or baseball
- 1:50:18enthusiasts, how do you not like Derek Jeter?
- 1:50:21It's not that I didn't like him. I liked him as a player.
- 1:50:25I was just not one of those guys that I drooled all over him.
- 1:50:29Oh, that's Derek Jeter. He's the greatest.
- 1:50:32That's fair, that's fair, that's fair.
- 1:50:34I don't I don't judge anybody's opinion of anybody.
- 1:50:37You know, we all have different experiences.
- 1:50:39I you know, I interviewed Josh Donaldson, not a not AI told him
- 1:50:42I'm like the Yankee fans are the worst.
- 1:50:44He's like, well, they don't like me.
- 1:50:45So we got that in common. I start laughing, but like, you
- 1:50:48know what, Hey, we talked and he was, he was like, well, yeah, I
- 1:50:52did. I didn't do shit over there.
- 1:50:53That's why they don't like me. Rightfully so, yadda, yadda.
- 1:50:56But a guy like that, right, he's got this personality that some
- 1:50:59people love, some people, Hey, we talked.
- 1:51:01I asked him for 20 to 30 minutes on the podcast.
- 1:51:04We ended up doing a 2 hour interview and then when I said,
- 1:51:07hey, hang on here for 2 minutes, let it load.
- 1:51:09We sat there off camera for another hour and a half just
- 1:51:12talking baseball hitting like it was a he's a guy I would now see
- 1:51:16in real life and be like, you want to I got let me get you a
- 1:51:17beer. Let's hang out, talk, whatever.
- 1:51:19But so, yeah, everybody's got their story on guys.
- 1:51:21My whole thing is the Yankees are good enough.
- 1:51:25They're not super far off from the Dodgers, where the Dodgers
- 1:51:29know they're making playoffs. They don't have a let's try to
- 1:51:32win this many games and make playoffs and make a good run.
- 1:51:35Their World Series are bust. And the Yankees, it doesn't
- 1:51:38matter if they go 30 years without a championship.
- 1:51:40It's always World Series or bust.
- 1:51:42That's the way it is. They should make playoffs every
- 1:51:45year. They have that kind of talent.
- 1:51:46Their pitching staff this year is very good.
- 1:51:48Is it going to kill you or 30 games to put Spencer Jones and
- 1:51:53just say fuck it, hit before Aaron Judge.
- 1:51:55You're going to get a lot of good pitches to hit.
- 1:51:56Maybe that'll help you. Maybe it'll help you because
- 1:51:59they they don't want to pitch to judge.
- 1:52:01So they're going to go out right after you.
- 1:52:03Maybe he gets in a groove. Maybe he learns a little bit,
- 1:52:05maybe he doesn't. But if you're you know, 15 and
- 1:52:0815 after 30 games is the Yankees, you move Spencer Jones
- 1:52:11if it's not working out and there's a pretty darn good
- 1:52:14chance you still make your playoffs and do what you need to
- 1:52:16do. So my whole thing is that I, I
- 1:52:19and everyone's like, well, what, what will it do to him mentally
- 1:52:22if they bring him up and he sucks?
- 1:52:23It's like not any worse than what it'll do to him.
- 1:52:26Dominating AAA for fucking two years.
- 1:52:28That's worse. That to me is worse.
- 1:52:30I'd rather, if I was a pitcher, I'd rather get called up and
- 1:52:33have a 12 ERA and four outings get sent back down and go, at
- 1:52:36least I know that's good. At least I'm not sitting in AAA
- 1:52:40for 2-3 years with a 28 ERA thinking I should be up there.
- 1:52:44At least I know. Give me a chance one way or
- 1:52:46another. And I know everybody's like,
- 1:52:48he's young, he's 24. That's not young in baseball
- 1:52:50anymore. This is this.
- 1:52:52You're getting there. Like get the guy into the game.
- 1:52:55I want to see him do something. You got the shortest little
- 1:52:58right field porch. Let him pull the shit out of
- 1:53:00that ball. And I, it blows my mind that
- 1:53:04they did what they did and they're doing what it sounds
- 1:53:06like they're going to do with them.
- 1:53:07It's crazy. Let's go to your team now, the
- 1:53:09Dodgers, the team that's everyone's blaming for this
- 1:53:11potential lockout that is apparently going to come next
- 1:53:13year, obviously exciting Kyle Tucker after winning their
- 1:53:15second straight World Series. And now all the owners are
- 1:53:17seeing like they're crying poor and wanting all this salary cap
- 1:53:20stuff. Like what are your thoughts of
- 1:53:22that? Whole.
- 1:53:24Let me say this real quick. You complimented this hat.
- 1:53:27I'm going to I'm do it. I did an ad for lids.
- 1:53:30That's why I even have this hat. They hooked me up with some
- 1:53:32hats, but I walked in. They said, go into the store,
- 1:53:36get yourself some stuff, yada, yada.
- 1:53:37I said, all right. And you guys know, the Yankee
- 1:53:39fans truly hate me. They hate my guests.
- 1:53:42And I'm in there and I'm like, they're like, if you can, you
- 1:53:45know, maybe film some content while they're customizing an hat
- 1:53:49with some embroidery. I'm like, all right, cool, I'll
- 1:53:50showcase everything lids does. They got this, this, you know,
- 1:53:56embroidery custom thing with Freddie Freeman holding up the
- 1:53:59bat on the walk off against the Yankees.
- 1:54:02They got they got it and and his signatures underneath it.
- 1:54:04If you know the the game, you immediately see it and go, Oh
- 1:54:07yeah, that's the friggin walk off with Cortez.
- 1:54:10Beautiful. I said, hey, can I, can I put
- 1:54:13this on a Yankee hat? They're like, Nah, I'm like,
- 1:54:15damn it, this would have been great content.
- 1:54:17Like, hey, I got a Yankees hat. It's all good.
- 1:54:20And then turn to the side and here's here's the reminder guys.
- 1:54:22So they wouldn't let me do that. But shout out lids for for, you
- 1:54:26know, the the good hats. Now the Dodgers.
- 1:54:29If you're asking me, I think it's good for baseball.
- 1:54:32And I would say that if I wasn't a Dodger fan, I thought it was
- 1:54:34good for baseball when the Yankees did it back in the day.
- 1:54:37Every good story needs a villain.
- 1:54:40When the when your team gets bumped.
- 1:54:42There's now 29 other teams rooting for the Toronto Blue
- 1:54:46Jays. Beat those.
- 1:54:48Beat them, please. That would be awesome.
- 1:54:50And people are watching. I have talked to so many people
- 1:54:52and Yankee fans, maybe not because you hate the Blue Jays
- 1:54:55probably more than the Dodgers, maybe, but it it makes people
- 1:55:00watch beyond when their team gets out.
- 1:55:02That's all it is. OK, I have to cut you off.
- 1:55:05Hold on one second. Hold on one second.
- 1:55:07Did you just say that the Yankees did it in those days?
- 1:55:11Let's let's go back. Let's go back in the 90's.
- 1:55:14The Yankees built around a core. They they drafted Derek Jeter,
- 1:55:18they drafted Andy Pettitte, they drafted Mariano Rivera, They
- 1:55:22drafted Jorge Posada. They built around Bernie
- 1:55:24Williams. They built around a core.
- 1:55:26And then they brought a bunch of veteran players in Paul O'Neill.
- 1:55:29They traded for for Roberto Kelly.
- 1:55:31Remember that? Then they brought in Charlie
- 1:55:33Hayes and Scott Brosius. All guys that nobody wanted.
- 1:55:36OK, Yeah. Then they brought Wade, old man
- 1:55:38Wade Boggs in the on this team. They brought Jimmy Key, old man
- 1:55:43Jimmy on this team. Then they brought old man David
- 1:55:46Wells on this team. Now, let's go back in time when
- 1:55:49the Yankees were dominant. And This is why I hate, I'm not
- 1:55:52talking about you, but Dodger fans saying, oh, typical Yankee
- 1:55:57fan complaining and bitching and moaning about what we're doing.
- 1:56:00Yeah, here's what I'm going to say.
- 1:56:02Let me ask the Dodger fans. Tell me, besides your catcher on
- 1:56:07your team, on your starting roster, how many guys did you
- 1:56:11draft as far as your lineup is concerned on your starter
- 1:56:14roster? And the answer is none.
- 1:56:17So you're going to sit here and I'm not saying you, but the,
- 1:56:20the, the stupid Dodger fans that come out here and attack me all
- 1:56:23over social media. Yeah, my dude.
- 1:56:25The, the one or two stupid fans that direct message me and tell
- 1:56:29me, well, you're a Yankee fan. Typical that you would say
- 1:56:32something so stupid and dumb. And I say, you know what?
- 1:56:35Hey, you're deferred money. And 12 years from now when you
- 1:56:38have to pay these guys, because we all know what the Dodgers
- 1:56:40organizations going to do after they win all their titles,
- 1:56:43they're going to sell the team. These owners are going to sell
- 1:56:46the team and whoever this team is going to have to owe every
- 1:56:49single one of those players. So you better be a trillionaire.
- 1:56:52Maybe Elon Musk will buy them in 15 years because that's the only
- 1:56:56way he's going to be able to pay these contracts back.
- 1:56:59OK, I don't want to hear from the Dodger fans because the
- 1:57:02Dodger fans are typically stupid, dumb, ridiculous.
- 1:57:08I'm going to, I'm going to give you the secret sauce that I,
- 1:57:11that I throw on the, on the Yankee fans who jump in my DMS
- 1:57:15or give me in the comments. And you say this to the Dodger
- 1:57:19fans, I'm sure it'll have the same result.
- 1:57:21Anytime they tell me how stupid I am, I go, look, I'm sorry,
- 1:57:24slow day at the office when it's like that.
- 1:57:26I got to go for the lowest hanging fruit.
- 1:57:28You guys win. I got to go for the Yankee fans.
- 1:57:31If I'm looking for engagement, I know you guys are going to give
- 1:57:34it. It's too easy.
- 1:57:35The lowest hanging fruit. I'm like, shit, sometimes it's
- 1:57:37not even hanging. I just pick it up off the floor
- 1:57:39and they're like fuck. You.
- 1:57:42So you might want to use that one day.
- 1:57:43But let me let me counter with this.
- 1:57:47You you mentioned all the guys the Yankees brought in back
- 1:57:49then, right, What they did and the Dodgers are, are doing that
- 1:57:54on a, a bigger scale. Yes, they do not have as many
- 1:57:57home grown guys. However, the, the trades that
- 1:58:00they do are because they draft well, they develop well, they
- 1:58:03give prospects to certain guys. This is not the case today's day
- 1:58:07and age. They're just buying everybody.
- 1:58:09And I will be the first to tell you that, but the every everyone
- 1:58:14single contract of the Dodgers, maybe other than Otani, you
- 1:58:18know, they're 90% of teams in the league could afford to get
- 1:58:21one of these guys. But what what brought those old
- 1:58:24guys in? The Yankees brought the
- 1:58:25veterans, they brought the studs.
- 1:58:27They brought a mix of guys that they knew would fit into the
- 1:58:30Yankee culture. And they did.
- 1:58:32And that's why they won, because they had This is why today's
- 1:58:36Yankees pissed me off. I'll be honest, like I I like
- 1:58:39the players on the Yankees. I I don't like what the Yankees
- 1:58:42are today compared to what you just explained.
- 1:58:45Those guys came in and they said you're a Yankee.
- 1:58:48Now here's the expectation. There we go this.
- 1:58:53Thank you fans for pissing me. Off, I love that.
- 1:58:56I love that. So it it's the culture, right?
- 1:59:00Diaz or Diaz came over here, his brother is with the Dodgers and
- 1:59:04his brother said you have to come here.
- 1:59:05It's the best, it's the best organization there is.
- 1:59:08He didn't even go back to the Mets with a counter offer.
- 1:59:10He said, cool. Three years, 66, whatever it
- 1:59:12was, I'm in. You know, Cohen would have paid
- 1:59:14him more, especially to get him away from the Dodgers, just like
- 1:59:17he did with Soto and the and the Yanks.
- 1:59:19Like he didn't even go back. He said cool.
- 1:59:21My brother said this is the best place to be and I already see
- 1:59:25who's there. I want to win.
- 1:59:27Sounds like fun. There's a culture with the with
- 1:59:29the Dodgers right now that if you are not looking at it from
- 1:59:33your own team's bias, it's the best in the league and it's not
- 1:59:36even close. It's not even close.
- 1:59:38It's not even listen, Hey, hey, let me tell you this.
- 1:59:42Here's the culture. I was at spring training last
- 1:59:45year. I watched the Dodgers get beat
- 1:59:47like 15 to 6 on a random Tuesday, right?
- 1:59:50And Dave Roberts is in the dugout and some guy yells down
- 1:59:54to him. Dave Doc doc and Dave turns
- 1:59:57around, looks at him. I feel like I told you this on
- 1:59:59the last podcast. I.
- 2:00:00Remember you telling me this? And the guy just goes, hey, one
- 2:00:03game closer to the World Series baby.
- 2:00:05And I'm like, this is this is the expectation.
- 2:00:08It's like, fuck, get these games out of the way.
- 2:00:10We don't care. So I will say I do think that
- 2:00:14the culture they've built and this comes from a player that
- 2:00:16was with them last year, then with three or four different
- 2:00:19teams, he goes, it's not even, it's not even close.
- 2:00:23They know everybody. They knew me before I got there.
- 2:00:26They know the janitors name, they know the executives name.
- 2:00:29Like this whole organization is doing it right.
- 2:00:31So I I do think that plays into it.
- 2:00:33And as I'm a Dave guy, I know a lot of people aren't.
- 2:00:36I'm a Dave guy in order to give. I'm a Dave guy too.
- 2:00:40Dave Matthews. Yeah, there you go.
- 2:00:43She could do China, the Chinese. I like the salt crash.
- 2:00:46You know, naked ladies. I couldn't even.
- 2:00:48Get that the ants could eat all the low hanging fruit.
- 2:00:50It seems like that that the Dodgers are the ants marching.
- 2:00:54Oh. Wait, yes.
- 2:00:56And look, it takes it takes a manager and not saying Dave's
- 2:01:00the only guy that could do this. Yes, he has the talent, but
- 2:01:02there is not one superstar in that team that acts like a
- 2:01:05superstar. Me guy, there's not one.
- 2:01:08And it doesn't matter who gets the job done.
- 2:01:11The last three home runs they hit in game seven were were 20
- 2:01:14million. I I think it was less than 30
- 2:01:16million combined salaries. Will Smith 15, Muncie 10, Rojas
- 2:01:205. Like those guys came up when it
- 2:01:22mattered. Great, the $700 million guy was
- 2:01:24there. We got it out of.
- 2:01:25It, and the rent of the pitcher in extra innings too, was.
- 2:01:28Yeah, yes. And you know what?
- 2:01:30So that's how when that's how you sell everybody on the
- 2:01:33Dodgers said I'm they were so happy for Rojas because that's
- 2:01:37their leader, that's their guy that's dead.
- 2:01:39They all said it. They said this is our guy, this
- 2:01:41is our clubhouse guy, he's the leader and you go.
- 2:01:43I don't think anybody would have guessed.
- 2:01:44That so so if that's what you need so if I'm in the dugout and
- 2:01:47I'm saying I wipe my ass with my hands and they say, well, that's
- 2:01:50a good idea, I'm going to do it too.
- 2:01:52I mean, so if everybody's saying it, I guess it it means they're
- 2:01:56doing it, you know, so so get out of here, Jake, are you going
- 2:01:59to actually sell me this? That Oh, oh, they were happy for
- 2:02:03Rosha. Oh, they're happy.
- 2:02:04Oh, Friedman looks like he's pretty happy because he just won
- 2:02:06another, oh, another ring because he left course.
- 2:02:09Jake, this is also the same guy that would rather take in Rojas
- 2:02:12to be a second basement along with others to get rid of Jazz
- 2:02:14Chisholm. I would.
- 2:02:15Do anything to. Get rid of that idiot.
- 2:02:17Yeah, you guys would have been better off with Rojas playing
- 2:02:20shortstop. First of all, so I'm watching
- 2:02:22this. I'm watching by the way, we are
- 2:02:23talking to owner of rough shots run, rough shot Supply company
- 2:02:28and MLB content creator Jake Savicky's a friend of the show.
- 2:02:31And I was watching the show with my so we went to my me and my
- 2:02:34girl went to my sister's sister's house yesterday and
- 2:02:38they watched this. Like have you ever seen their
- 2:02:40show bad? Have you ever seen that?
- 2:02:42So it's on the Zeus channel. I've never heard of it.
- 2:02:45OK. And these girls, they they like,
- 2:02:48beat the hell out of each other. They're they're girls that like
- 2:02:51they sleep with all these rich guys and all that.
- 2:02:54And they're just like what? Some of them played college
- 2:02:56basketball and dude, they beat the hell out of each other.
- 2:03:00They like their, their, their, their tits are hanging out,
- 2:03:02their asses are hanging out. They're ripping each other's
- 2:03:05clothes off. I've never seen anything like
- 2:03:07that. So I'm watching.
- 2:03:08Is it a reality? Show it's a reality show.
- 2:03:10Check it out. It's called Betty's.
- 2:03:11OK, OK. And I'm sitting there and I'm
- 2:03:13like, what the hell am I watching?
- 2:03:15Is this a Hood show? And I'm sitting there and all of
- 2:03:17a. Sudden.
- 2:03:17Yeah, right. You're like, what am I watching?
- 2:03:19What am I watching? All the reruns.
- 2:03:21No, I was giggling and I was laughing.
- 2:03:23I was trying to pay attention because I was writing a store
- 2:03:25while I'm doing it. So I'm sitting there and all of
- 2:03:28a sudden my sister says that girl right there, she's engaged
- 2:03:32to a famous baseball player. And I'm like, who I was like,
- 2:03:36I've never seen her and she looks like a hoochie Mama, you
- 2:03:39know, And all of a sudden she looks it up and it's Jazz
- 2:03:42Chisholm and fiance. And I'm like, of course it is.
- 2:03:47Why wouldn't it be? I mean, why wouldn't she be on
- 2:03:50this TV show? I mean, it was pathetic.
- 2:03:53I'm sitting down. I'm like, I can see why he he
- 2:03:56would be dating a girl like that one and and two, I mean, the
- 2:04:01girls over there are just absolutely insulting.
- 2:04:04They insult themselves as women. So my, my thought here is, and
- 2:04:08I'm, I'm not, by the way, I'm not taking shots of the show.
- 2:04:11I thought it was a funny, funny show.
- 2:04:13If you haven't checked it out, it's called Baddies.
- 2:04:15It's on Zeus. It's been around for a while,
- 2:04:17season after season. My, my niece should not be
- 2:04:20watching it. She's 22 years old.
- 2:04:21And I'm like, listen to these girls talking and it's the
- 2:04:25sexual things that they're saying.
- 2:04:27And I'm sitting there. I'm like, this is on television
- 2:04:29so whatever, but as a kid, if the kids are watching this
- 2:04:34interview, don't watch patties. Stay the hell away from it.
- 2:04:39Fishing. Fishing is fiance.
- 2:04:41I mean fishing. His girl a wife.
- 2:04:43I'm sorry, fishing. His wife was probably going to
- 2:04:45tune in and check it out in the very near future.
- 2:04:47And so is Speedy. Won't watch it.
- 2:04:49He doesn't like tits and ass anyways.
- 2:04:52Yeah, if it'll watch Niffin. Niffin likes.
- 2:04:55Niffin likes a lot of weird. Joba is not an athlete.
- 2:04:59Well, or. This I love Lisa Ann or suck my
- 2:05:02indo. You know, Niffin's a weirdo, but
- 2:05:05you know, by the way, I got a couple more for you to hear.
- 2:05:08Hold on, hold on. They call me the ladies man and
- 2:05:10Mr. Still You girl. I got to go back off now.
- 2:05:13Do you want to jerk me off? I'm putting you on a leash now.
- 2:05:16Smell my ass. Bagel hole, glory hole.
- 2:05:20Yum Yum butt plug. I want to hit it.
- 2:05:23So that, ladies and gentlemen, is our PR manager, Nathan.
- 2:05:27How do you pronounce his name? Ramatandra.
- 2:05:29Yeah, exactly Ramatandra. There he is.
- 2:05:32Mini mean Mr. Care. Bear.
- 2:05:34Lost in translation Blue blazer. This guy goes out in public with
- 2:05:38his blue blazer everywhere he goes to meet athletes and and I
- 2:05:41don't know if he washes it. So I, I gave him an idea.
- 2:05:44I said, listen, Nathan, get the athlete to sign it.
- 2:05:47As soon as it completely fills out in autographs, you frame it
- 2:05:51and you can say that is there it is.
- 2:05:53He's he's that was great. Yeah, there is Mr. Stearns as he
- 2:05:57tied him to a leash. But before we let you go, man, I
- 2:06:02see we have a lot of fun on this show and.
- 2:06:04I love it. So I said the answer is always
- 2:06:06yes to me. Yes.
- 2:06:07If I'm on this, I'm in. Let's make it happen.
- 2:06:10Well, don't say yes all the time, because I could do
- 2:06:12something that could kind of tell you say no in many
- 2:06:16different ways, but I don't want to, you know?
- 2:06:18There you go. There you are again.
- 2:06:19I like it. I mean, you do.
- 2:06:21I think you should wear a Yankee hat because I think you'd look
- 2:06:23more sexier and I think your wife would probably agree with
- 2:06:26me. I'll tell you what I will buy 1
- 2:06:28and I will take it to my own guide to embroidery Freeman on
- 2:06:32the side. They also had the they also had
- 2:06:34a patch of the Dodgers championships and I wanted to
- 2:06:37put that on the side of a Yankee hat.
- 2:06:39Either way, I'm I will be wearing a Yankee hat at some
- 2:06:41point this year. I'm sure to do that.
- 2:06:44We got to do something together off on a show.
- 2:06:47I think we'd be funny. I think we'd go.
- 2:06:49Back Hey, listen, I, I am so I'm with I work I work with steady
- 2:06:53picks and they're they're over there in Philly, they're East
- 2:06:56Coast guys. There's a trip to be made out
- 2:06:58there and when I do for sure, I think we should all attend to
- 2:07:02get some. I'd love to go to a Yankee game
- 2:07:04with some Yankee fans and and be there.
- 2:07:07You know, I, I, I'm all for. That's one thing about my
- 2:07:10content. Like we talked about earlier,
- 2:07:11people meet me. They're like, dude, you're like
- 2:07:12the same guy. I'm like, yeah, this is no act.
- 2:07:14I just sit here and make my videos.
- 2:07:16You meet me in real life, same dude.
- 2:07:17So I would welcome the unpleasantries that Yankees fans
- 2:07:22have for me. And, and it's, I tell baseball
- 2:07:24players the same thing, the big leaguers.
- 2:07:26I'm like, look, I go after the fans, the team, the owners.
- 2:07:30I will never really go after the man in the area.
- 2:07:32I don't fuck with you guys. I will joke around with you.
- 2:07:35I will. Not gonna.
- 2:07:36I know, I know. I will.
- 2:07:38Anybody that knows me on this show, Jake, anybody that knows
- 2:07:41me, they say, oh, this guys not real.
- 2:07:43This is anybody that knows Speedy.
- 2:07:45Am I even crazier off air? Yes, I I, I probably one of the
- 2:07:50craziest people you'll ever meet.
- 2:07:51I'm not climbing up poles when my team wins or eating horseshit
- 2:07:56like some of the Eagles fans will do.
- 2:07:58I don't do that. OK, that's not something I will
- 2:08:01do. But everything else, you bet
- 2:08:04your ass I probably do it. So and it's not even a dare.
- 2:08:07I'm probably the craziest person and it's not an act.
- 2:08:10I, I don't act anything. This is not an act.
- 2:08:13And, and I try to be fair with all the fans that do.
- 2:08:15Listen to the show all over the country on Spotify, Apple that
- 2:08:18don't get a chance and you can actually watch it on video now,
- 2:08:22Spotify and Apple. So all the fans that have
- 2:08:24checked it out on video, you get to know us personally.
- 2:08:27But the one thing I could say about you, Jake, is you're real
- 2:08:31and I know personally who you are because I do watch your
- 2:08:36stuff and I do. I do take in your logic when it
- 2:08:42comes to baseball. The one thing I could say about
- 2:08:45you is you're completely wrong trying to compare the Yankees of
- 2:08:49the 90s to the Dodges. Now I will tell you you're
- 2:08:52completely wrong, and I will tell you what Nathan will do to
- 2:08:55you. Do you want to jerk me off?
- 2:08:58OK. That's that's about it.
- 2:08:59I'll give you that I probably am completely wrong.
- 2:09:02This team is this Dodgers team is way better than that Yankees
- 2:09:05team I was comparing. So I had no, I had no business
- 2:09:08comparing the two. That was a mistake on.
- 2:09:11My end? Well, hey, fruit will be coming
- 2:09:14for you ladies. Man and Mr. Still your girl.
- 2:09:16A lot of hot ladies. Well, there's there should be a
- 2:09:18lot of hot ladies, but guess what?
- 2:09:20Only one that we always talk about.
- 2:09:22Speedy's mom. Hey, let me, let me ask you this
- 2:09:27before we go. January 6th, I said Dominican
- 2:09:31Republic win in the World Baseball Classic.
- 2:09:33This lineup's ridiculous. Who do you guys have in this
- 2:09:35winning the whole thing? And then I guess a scale one to
- 2:09:3810. How good do you feel about the
- 2:09:40Yankees win in the 2026 World Series?
- 2:09:42Go ahead. That's my 2 questions.
- 2:09:44I had I picked the US over Japan final, I Dominican Republic has
- 2:09:48a breakout pitcher or two, they could definitely win it because
- 2:09:50their offense, I think it's the best in the tournament.
- 2:09:52But I had USA and Japan Yankees win in the World Series.
- 2:09:54I will give probably 7. All right, I have USA winning
- 2:09:59it. I I think USA now it all depends
- 2:10:02who pitches in the final game. Now we're hearing it could be
- 2:10:06McClain, depending on his his brain or his head or whatever
- 2:10:10the hell, his juju. So no, if it's somebody like
- 2:10:13maybe Schemes will pitch in that game or maybe it'll be a
- 2:10:16multiple bunch of pitchers that could pitch in that game.
- 2:10:19I, I think the, I, I think the United States has the best
- 2:10:21pitching out of all the teams in this tournament.
- 2:10:24Pitching wins championships. I think the United States will
- 2:10:27win this. I think it's going to be USA and
- 2:10:29Japan. I, I don't know how the how
- 2:10:32everything works out when it comes to the semi finals.
- 2:10:35If the Dominican Republic plays to Team USA or they play Japan,
- 2:10:38they could beat Japan and they could beat Team USAI don't like
- 2:10:42the Dominican Republic pitching. That's the only thing I can say
- 2:10:45about that. As far as the Yankees winning a
- 2:10:47World Series right now, on paper, I don't think they're
- 2:10:52going to win the World Series. But there's a lot of baseball to
- 2:10:57be played and there is a trade deadline.
- 2:10:59And if the Yankees had another bat to this line up, which I
- 2:11:03believe they will, and if Garrett Cole comes back and he's
- 2:11:07even 90% healthy, watch out for the Yankees.
- 2:11:10This is the best pitching staff in baseball.
- 2:11:11If Garrick Hall is even 90%, Garrick Hall even better than
- 2:11:16the Dodgers pitching staff. When when you have Blake Snell
- 2:11:18and Glass now and Otani and all those pitchers, I think the
- 2:11:21Yankees pitching is better than the Dodgers.
- 2:11:24And that's crazy to say, but I think the Yankees need another
- 2:11:27bat and get rid of Chisholm because you can't win with that
- 2:11:31idiot. I call him John.
- 2:11:32I call him, I call him Mr. Jism, because that's all he's worth.
- 2:11:37Nice little jizz or two. That's it.
- 2:11:39I do. I do love they're just throwing
- 2:11:41out these wild predictions on everything now, like whatever,
- 2:11:44Great Britain, we're going to shock some people.
- 2:11:45You watch this. OK, well, come on, I'm going.
- 2:11:50Over 8 or 4 strikeouts. Yeah, it's amazing.
- 2:11:53I surprise Mexican. It's 00 right now with Team USA
- 2:11:56and Mexico. Hey, I just looked it up to to
- 2:11:59your guys's points because I I think the Dominican will play
- 2:12:02them in the semis. I think the brackets line up
- 2:12:04that way. I'm not sure I want to say
- 2:12:07that's what it is. And then most likely Japan on
- 2:12:09the other side, the Dominican team hits the shit out of the
- 2:12:14ball. I looked at all three lineups
- 2:12:17from all three games. I think that they had seven guys
- 2:12:20with over 1000 OPS and I'm not a big stat guy, but they got 7
- 2:12:24guys in all three games in the lineup and it it's collective
- 2:12:28over the three games that are over 1000, which is just pop
- 2:12:32know how to hit, know how to get on.
- 2:12:34But then you look at the United States, they have 12345
- 2:12:37strikeouts against Mexico right now, which puts them at 38 KS
- 2:12:42and one walk in their in their 2 1/2 games they've played.
- 2:12:45Breaking news, Give me that chicken Curry.
- 2:12:48Breaking news, I need a gender donut.
- 2:12:51Breaking news, I need Brittany also.
- 2:12:53Breaking news, I want to hit it. Breaking news, Lick it and stick
- 2:12:58it. Breaking news.
- 2:12:59Happy kick. I need a soundboard make her.
- 2:13:03Squirt. Make me jerk.
- 2:13:04You're going to get all of those on this hypothetical dates.
- 2:13:06Start with the genes. Team the TS, I get more girls
- 2:13:09than scoops. Anyways, there you go.
- 2:13:12So they, they, I love that. I love that I give you those
- 2:13:15stats to say we could see the the best hitting team of all
- 2:13:18time against the best pitching team of all time.
- 2:13:20That would be pretty cool. I got the.
- 2:13:22Bubble gums, diarrhea down their leg and you got to have the
- 2:13:25booting. You guys are awesome.
- 2:13:30This is a this is a show that should be listened to.
- 2:13:33I will say that as a as a Dodger guy talking to some some New
- 2:13:37Yorkers, this show should be listened and streamed by a lot
- 2:13:41of people. You guys do a great job.
- 2:13:43Which is, it's really structured.
- 2:13:44I'm not licking anyone. Men in black memory Eraser.
- 2:13:48I don't know. Chocolate's a good flavor.
- 2:13:50I don't drink a lot of milk. That's crazy.
- 2:13:58I got more. Hold on.
- 2:13:59Here's a couple of mine. Whore bag.
- 2:14:01I look delicious. Play with your flankies.
- 2:14:04Thumb up your ass, why don't you?
- 2:14:05And he buffed everything out again.
- 2:14:08I'm anal all sucker. He is.
- 2:14:12Goofy wants. Soda's a bitch.
- 2:14:16Hey can I say this, the my most favorite times in my life are
- 2:14:19the times I look back and go how the fuck did I get here?
- 2:14:22And this is one of those times so thank you for that.
- 2:14:26Give me that time. Well, we love you Jake, and
- 2:14:32keep. Up the good.
- 2:14:33Work. Let's talk off air.
- 2:14:34We we got to do. Something, yeah, I think it's
- 2:14:36100%. I think it'll be fun, but Jake's
- 2:14:39a Vicky area. But come on.
- 2:14:39Give him a golf clap, Speedy. Give him a golf clap.
- 2:14:42Come on. Golf Club Little Golf Club.
- 2:14:44We love you, man, we love you. I mean, Speedy likes to slide it
- 2:14:47right in, as we all know, but he likes to do other things.
- 2:14:50Go check your lug nuts. I got caught in the throat.
- 2:14:54Do you know a rooster is a cock? If cocks could kill, who wants
- 2:14:57to get the ass? You got to put your tongue on
- 2:15:00something. It's a wild.
- 2:15:05That is awesome. How much?
- 2:15:06How much of the show you guys got left?
- 2:15:08What do you got when? I we got a lot left we got we
- 2:15:11after you we got speedy 6 pack of the week we got Jason Tatum
- 2:15:14He returns to the Celtics. How does this how does this work
- 2:15:18for the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference?
- 2:15:20We got call your shot caged in MMA.
- 2:15:22We're going to get into the UFC 3/26 as we all know what
- 2:15:26happened, Oliveira and Max Holloway, which was complete
- 2:15:30domination. And then we got what's that
- 2:15:31smell? So we got a lot more to go, my
- 2:15:33friend. So keep listening.
- 2:15:34I'm sure you'll get a chance to see some crazy things.
- 2:15:37There's a lot left on this show. And maybe Speedy will, you know,
- 2:15:41pull his pants down, maybe scare a lot of people away, right,
- 2:15:44Speedy? The odds of that happening are
- 2:15:46are less than the odds of Nathan getting Lee Sam.
- 2:15:49Well, that's true. I mean, or it could be something
- 2:15:52like this. Hold on, hold on.
- 2:15:53Here we go. Anyone Blood I?
- 2:15:56Didn't say my Weiner. Because they don't have tongues
- 2:15:59sex. Part in I would not be able to
- 2:16:01taste in my ass. Why would I want to pull jobless
- 2:16:04panties down? You know, I hope people watch
- 2:16:10this because those sounds are so much funnier when I look at
- 2:16:13Speedy and he's like this the whole time.
- 2:16:18He's like, just the lady. He's just like, when is this
- 2:16:21going to end? When is this?
- 2:16:22But it starts. For.
- 2:16:24Your back. This does the best wants.
- 2:16:30No, it doesn't matter what we get bareback, he can clean
- 2:16:33themselves. The gross sexual action of cream
- 2:16:36on somebody's face. Dissect.
- 2:16:41Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
- 2:16:43Oh, Jake. We love you.
- 2:16:44Keep listening. I love you guys too.
- 2:16:46We love you, baby. You are my favorite online
- 2:16:49Yankee fans. You're my favorite online New
- 2:16:52Yorkers, I'll tell you that. Well, we don't know.
- 2:16:54That's the crazy thing. Everybody thinks that we just
- 2:16:56because we're wearing Yankee stuff and everything, we're not
- 2:16:59just New York guys. We talk all sports.
- 2:17:01We talk Dodgers, Lakers, we talk everything.
- 2:17:03Whatever is the story out there, we kill it.
- 2:17:06But we're we're, we're going to make a major announcement
- 2:17:08announcement in the next week or so.
- 2:17:10So definitely stay tuned for it. So.
- 2:17:13Please let me know, I love to hear this stuff.
- 2:17:15Absolutely keep listening. My friend Jake will do thank you
- 2:17:19Ladies and gentlemen, rough shot supply company, he's the owner
- 2:17:22of that company and you got to send us some stuff.
- 2:17:25We definitely got to get some stuff we'll promote it and MLB
- 2:17:28content creator. This guy is one of the best on
- 2:17:31Instagram. If you go and check out dude, he
- 2:17:33has hundreds of thousands of people checking out his stuff.
- 2:17:37He can he can give us a couple of things, you know, tips or two
- 2:17:40when it comes to our Instagram, but he does a good job.
- 2:17:43And you know, it's crazy when we get guys like Jake on the show.
- 2:17:46We get guys that are content creators and they check out our
- 2:17:48show and you know, they're they go on other shows and stuff like
- 2:17:51that. We want them to feel at home.
- 2:17:53We want them to feel comfortable and we're not any different than
- 2:17:57anybody we have on the show. We get an ex athlete or an
- 2:18:00athlete that's in the game. Jake is a unique individual
- 2:18:03because he gets athletes on his show and he has a way of
- 2:18:06interviewing them. When I bring people like Jake on
- 2:18:09the show, I know his personality because he reminds me of me.
- 2:18:13You know, he's he's up and upfront with everything that
- 2:18:16comes out of his mouth. Sometimes a little too upfront
- 2:18:19and he just gives you his take to it and he's not afraid to
- 2:18:23smash it on your face. If it's a pie from AJ Burnett or
- 2:18:27Speedy dropping some knowledge or hopefully not wearing any
- 2:18:30dirty underwear, right I'm. Not wearing any dirty underwear
- 2:18:33anyone? The gross sexual action of cream

- 2:18:55All that how many fans? How many, how many downloads did
- 2:18:57we have last night? We had 16,000 over. 16,000
- 2:19:02downloads last night on our Spotify and Apple, which is the
- 2:19:06most we've ever had in a night. So it was sensational for all
- 2:19:10the fans out there and all over the country from all different

- 2:19:16the place. We love them all and and thank

- 2:19:22Speedy 6 pack of the week. Let's have a sensor.
- 2:19:26Hey, who wants to play Drink the Beer?
- 2:19:28It's time for the speedy 6 pack of the week sex.
- 2:19:33Part in? No, we're not going to put any
- 2:19:36sex parts in. How would I want to pull jobless
- 2:19:39panties down? Yeah, that would involve sex
- 2:19:41parts. Tender pain to smack a live
- 2:19:44oyster? Well, these guys will not be
- 2:19:47smacking live oysters because unless you're a Red Wings or
- 2:19:49Predators player, you don't see a seafood being thrown on the
- 2:19:52ice. We'll get to the Red Wings in a
- 2:19:54bit. We'll start with your team,
- 2:19:55they're all the New York Islanders.
- 2:19:57They acquire Braden Shen for Jonathan Drew and goalie
- 2:20:00prospect Marcus Gilding the Avalanche first round pick they
- 2:20:03just acquired last year for Brock Nelson and the New Jersey
- 2:20:05Devils third round pick as well. Shannon, a good playoff player
- 2:20:08in his career, was big part of the Saint Louis Blues club.
- 2:20:11Problem was good with the Flyers as well.
- 2:20:12What are your thoughts to your team making this move?
- 2:20:15I love it. You bring in a veteran guy, a
- 2:20:17captain. He was the captain of Saint
- 2:20:19Louis Blues. He was a part of the
- 2:20:20championship team, which by the way, I was on the ice for and
- 2:20:23watched them hoist the cup in Boston.
- 2:20:26I think Shen adds a little bit more veteran personality in that
- 2:20:30locker room. It's going to help Matthew
- 2:20:32Schaefer how help him develop as a young player.
- 2:20:34He's becoming a superstar right in front of her eyes.
- 2:20:36And and by the way, I don't know about the first round pick.
- 2:20:39I think I would have stayed away from the first round pick, but
- 2:20:41it's a late first round pick. It's really a second round draft
- 2:20:44pick. I it's not going to make a
- 2:20:46difference. They didn't have to give up
- 2:20:47theirs. And it's going to probably be
- 2:20:49around 2022, depending on where they fall in in the regular
- 2:20:53season and the playoffs. I don't I love it.
- 2:20:55I think it's great. And he has they still have them
- 2:20:58for one more year. And he waved his no trade
- 2:21:00clause. So think about it.
- 2:21:02There are not many players in the past that have waved their
- 2:21:05no trade clause to come to the island.
- 2:21:07Well, ladies and gentlemen, you got one.
- 2:21:09And this guy was a captain and a pretty damn good player.
- 2:21:12Yes and that that was a common theme of the no trade clause
- 2:21:15this year. That's what gets my next two of
- 2:21:17that. So the Sabres were denied of
- 2:21:19their no, they wanted to trade for Blues young defenseman
- 2:21:24Perico, and the Sabers turned it down.
- 2:21:26Apparently there was a story that Doug Armstrong was
- 2:21:29interrogating a lot of their social media guys and stuff like
- 2:21:32that is. This another Brown story.
- 2:21:34For leaking, no. No, For leaking a trade that
- 2:21:37never happened and like getting it out there, like it actually
- 2:21:40was actually going to go through.
- 2:21:41But Perico was denied. So he ends up he ends up staying
- 2:21:45with the Blues. Buffalo would counter with
- 2:21:48Braden Shen's brother Luke, as well as defenseman Logan Stanley
- 2:21:51from the Winnipeg Jets to try to bolster their defense.
- 2:21:53Interesting. I you know, it's not surprising.
- 2:21:56And and again, the Buffalo Sabres are an organization that
- 2:21:58has been pretty good with some of their players.
- 2:22:01But when you hear a story like this, you you kind of get
- 2:22:04yourself wondering if this organization really doesn't have
- 2:22:06a head on the right head on their shoulders.
- 2:22:09I I again, Luke is a good player.
- 2:22:12He's not Braden and and I again, they add these pieces to a team
- 2:22:17that is looking for talent and, and Buffalo's going to make a
- 2:22:19run. They're going to make the
- 2:22:21playoffs and it could be very dangerous.
- 2:22:22And they the one thing I could say about them this year that
- 2:22:25they haven't had over the last couple years is the gold
- 2:22:26tagging. So I think it's great.
- 2:22:29I I think there's a good move, but it to me, it's starting to
- 2:22:32get me worried about the Buffalo Sabres and who's running that
- 2:22:34organization if they're doing stuff right.
- 2:22:36Right. Another team that got turned
- 2:22:38down of a player was the Detroit Red Wings.
- 2:22:40So Tyler Myers was the one that I heard about this, exercised
- 2:22:44his no trade calls to not go to Detroit.
- 2:22:45So they actually oddly enough countered by trading for Justin
- 2:22:49Falk from the Blues, took on a big contract.
- 2:22:51They gave up a first round, first round pick in order to do
- 2:22:54it. The Stars instead get Tyler
- 2:22:56Myers instead and also get Michael Bunting for a second and
- 2:22:59a fourth round pick, sending him to Nashville and two and a four
- 2:23:03to the Canucks for Tyler Myers. I'm for Detroit, I would not
- 2:23:07have given up a first round draft pick because that could be
- 2:23:10early first round draft pick. And as far as Myers going to
- 2:23:13Dallas and and the pieces, the pieces that Dallas got, Dallas
- 2:23:17is a team that's scary. If they can, if they can make a
- 2:23:20run at the tail end of the season, they could be dangerous
- 2:23:23in the playoffs. They still have abundance of
- 2:23:25great offensive players. They're good.
- 2:23:27They have great goals and Ottinger is one of the best
- 2:23:29goalies in the league. If Dallas gets into the
- 2:23:32playoffs, I think they could be as dangerous as any team.
- 2:23:34Even at the as an eighth seed or seventh seed, they could be very
- 2:23:37dangerous. I like what Dallas did, not what
- 2:23:39Detroit did. Yeah.
- 2:23:41So right now they're going to be second in the division.
- 2:23:42They could be third. They're interchanging with
- 2:23:44Minnesota right now, but Dallas is.
- 2:23:46Those three teams have been the best teams in the NHL for pretty
- 2:23:48much all year regular season wise.
- 2:23:50Let's go get to their main competition in Colorado.
- 2:23:52They reunite with the guy that helped them in the playoffs,
- 2:23:55Nasim Qadri. He goes back.
- 2:23:57Viktor Olafsen was a former Buffalo Sabre along with
- 2:23:59prospect Max Quran. Flames getting conditional first
- 2:24:02and second round picks. They actually did well as
- 2:24:03sellers. They were one of the teams that
- 2:24:05were a lot of people liked what they were doing as sellers.
- 2:24:07They're always sellers. And then Colorado also gets
- 2:24:09Nicholas Roy from the Toronto Maple Leafs, who had a good year
- 2:24:12this year, won the Stanley Cup with Vegas as one of their third
- 2:24:14line centers as well. Of course Colorado gets
- 2:24:17everything and it seems like they're flourishing.
- 2:24:20Joe Sakic looks like a God. He looks like a genius on their
- 2:24:24way to a Stanley Cup finals. I love what Colorado did.
- 2:24:28Calgary sells off pieces. It's pathetic.
- 2:24:31Calgary just for all the things they should have never traded
- 2:24:34Matthew Kuchuk and they gave up really if you think about what
- 2:24:37Florida did getting Matthew Kuchuk in the long run, Calgary
- 2:24:41got nothing for that deal because cadre who they went,
- 2:24:43they brought cadre and after they lost Matthew Kuchuk, he
- 2:24:46goes back to Colorado and and Matthew Kuchuk in Florida they
- 2:24:50want 2 Stanley Cups so. And that's to mention they
- 2:24:53traded their primary piece in that deal in Mackenzie Weger
- 2:24:55already last week to Utah and the mammoth, Yeah, Jonathan
- 2:25:00Huberdos, but nothing but injury prone over there there with the
- 2:25:03Calgary Flames as their alleged offensive replacement.
- 2:25:06All right, two more. We got another Vancouver player
- 2:25:08and Connor Garland, the one that was linked to the Islanders a
- 2:25:10lot. He goes to the Blue Jackets for
- 2:25:12a third and second round pick. And now Columbus, I was talking
- 2:25:14about it. We'll get to the last team in a
- 2:25:15bit with the with the Penguins having the injuries with Sidney
- 2:25:18Crosby, maybe there's a window for Columbus.
- 2:25:20They're also fighting for that last wild card spot and
- 2:25:22Vancouver's just selling off a lot.
- 2:25:24They a lot of people said that Vancouver didn't get enough for
- 2:25:25Garland. I don't know what's going on
- 2:25:27with Vancouver. Vancouver is just selling off
- 2:25:30and Peterson, they're they didn't move him yet and they're
- 2:25:33going to move him in the offseason.
- 2:25:34There'll be teams lining up for him.
- 2:25:36They're going to get something for him, but they're not going
- 2:25:38to get as much because if you think about it, look what they
- 2:25:40traded. They created traded that one of
- 2:25:42their best players in Quint Hughes.
- 2:25:43You saw what he did in the play. You saw what he did in the
- 2:25:45Olympics. And now look what he's doing
- 2:25:47over there with Minnesota. I, I mean, Vancouver doesn't
- 2:25:50know what they're doing. I, I, just, I don't know, man.
- 2:25:54I, I, I, I look at hockey and, and, and some of these teams and
- 2:25:57some of these organizations, you wonder if, if they're trying to
- 2:26:00lose it and like the Rangers as they're rebuilding, as Chris
- 2:26:04Jury came out with how many letters, 1-2, maybe 3.
- 2:26:07Now, I mean, rebuilding doesn't tell me anything about that
- 2:26:10organization. It just tells me that the
- 2:26:12organization doesn't know what they're doing.
- 2:26:13So all these moves make you wonder if these teams actually
- 2:26:17know what they're doing and where they're going.
- 2:26:19Yeah, apparently they were trying to leverage.
- 2:26:22Vancouver was trying to leverage for an extra, not necessarily a
- 2:26:26guaranteed first round pick, but maybe a conditional pick or
- 2:26:29conditional second that could turn into a first.
- 2:26:30Picks don't mean anything. You don't know if they're going
- 2:26:32to be players, stars. You're reaching, you have a
- 2:26:36great player and you're just going to get rid of them for
- 2:26:38picks. Yeah, doesn't make any sense.
- 2:26:41Well, they were trying to leverage Minnesota, they were
- 2:26:42trying to leverage Detroit, and both those teams had to go other
- 2:26:45directions. Minnesota was actually very
- 2:26:46active at the deadline. Then they get multiple pieces as
- 2:26:48well. We'll finish it off with a team
- 2:26:50that I thought was a surprise seller.
- 2:26:51You were talking about last week with Florida being a surprise
- 2:26:53seller, the Washington Capitals, I would have thought they would
- 2:26:56have had a window with the Penguins injuries to try to make
- 2:26:58the playoffs. They were a good young team last
- 2:27:00year, won the Metropolitan Division, but they trade away.
- 2:27:03They trade away Nick Dowd to Vegas and for two players and
- 2:27:06two draft picks. Vegas getting another guy.
- 2:27:09The Love X Capitals players over there, but this was the big.
- 2:27:12Rich get richer. Colorado and Vegas.
- 2:27:14Vegas getting very productive. They were very active last week
- 2:27:17and then this was the big move probably after Alexander
- 2:27:20Ovetskin their next longest tenured player with the Capitals
- 2:27:22and Jon Carlson being traded to the Anaheim Ducks for a
- 2:27:25conditional first round pick and a 2027 third round.
- 2:27:28Pick I I, I'm going to tell you this, right?
- 2:27:29Anaheim's getting better and better and better.
- 2:27:32I I in Anaheim, I'm going to tell you they could be
- 2:27:35dangerous. They could be dangerous this
- 2:27:37year. They could be dangerous next
- 2:27:38year. They got a ton of talent.
- 2:27:40They got a great a bunch of young prospects and they're
- 2:27:42giving up draft picks because they have one of the best farm
- 2:27:44systems in all of hockey. They didn't really give up any
- 2:27:47young superstar on that roster right now.
- 2:27:49They're laughing to the bank right now.
- 2:27:51And, and by the way, it pisses me off because the Vegas Knights
- 2:27:56in the Colorado Avalanche, every single year at the trade
- 2:27:59deadline, they win. They win.
- 2:28:01Vegas was my Cup pick at the start of the year and Colorado,
- 2:28:05they have their regular season record going, which really
- 2:28:07hasn't. Again, with those types of
- 2:28:08teams, sometimes it doesn't work in the playoffs for them.
- 2:28:10But like those those four and then Anaheim's probably entering
- 2:28:13those gauntlet with Dallas, Minnesota too.
- 2:28:15They're going to think they can enter that gauntlet too with the
- 2:28:17moves they're making. I I think both Colorado and
- 2:28:20Vegas are dangerous in the playoffs.
- 2:28:22They always are with the talent that they have.
- 2:28:24The the question with Colorado every single year is do they
- 2:28:27have enough goaltending just like Edmonton?
- 2:28:29If they do, I expect Colorado to go all the way this year and the
- 2:28:33only team that might get in their way.
- 2:28:35I mean, watch out for Minnesota. Yes, really.
- 2:28:37Yeah. But that's the one I'm thinking
- 2:28:39because they got they got bigger forwards too.
- 2:28:41Bill Guerin changed his philosophy a lot because I think
- 2:28:44he was on the hot seat and they got some bigger forwards to to
- 2:28:47go a long. Way, I mean winning the gold
- 2:28:48medal, does that keep him on the hot seat?
- 2:28:50Anyway, I mean, yeah, but I'm just saying Minnesota hasn't won
- 2:28:52a playoff series in a long time since Patrick Wall was coaching
- 2:28:55the Colorado. Him keeping.
- 2:28:58I, I would I would tell you as a Bill Guerin fan, because I like
- 2:29:01Bill Guerin. Him making that move for Quinn
- 2:29:03use and practically not giving up anything for one of the top
- 2:29:06five defenseman in all of hockey and probably the best, I believe
- 2:29:10United States defenseman and all hockey for nothing.
- 2:29:15I think he he keeps his job no matter what.
- 2:29:18Yeah, now, now it's a guarantee. And also the fact that we were
- 2:29:21thinking all offseason, they're going to take Caprice off and
- 2:29:23look how far they've come since then.
- 2:29:24Oh my God, they're flourishing right in front of our eyes,
- 2:29:27ladies and gentlemen. All right, that's speedy. 6 pack
- 2:29:31of the week. Speaking of 6 packs, I don't
- 2:29:35know if he has a six pack because he's been sitting out
- 2:29:37for 10 months, but he's back ladies and gentlemen, and
- 2:29:40seeking some a vengeance for the New York Knicks maybe.
- 2:29:44Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum made his season debut on
- 2:29:48Friday night against The Mavericks after missing almost
- 2:29:5110 months with his torn Achilles he suffered in the NBA Playoffs
- 2:29:55versus the Knicks on May 12th last year.
- 2:29:58Tatum finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in
- 2:30:02the Celtics 121, 100 win over The Mavericks, but struggled
- 2:30:07mightily with his shot and had a poor dunk attempt go badly
- 2:30:13before regaining his form some the rest of the game.
- 2:30:18His second game was on the road at Sunday versus the Cavaliers
- 2:30:23where he had 20 points, 3 rebounds and two assists,
- 2:30:25helping the Celtics win 109 to 98.
- 2:30:28Reports say that Tatum was medically cleared at to return
- 2:30:34late February, but Tatum told people in his inner circle that
- 2:30:39he wasn't mentally mentally ready to return.
- 2:30:43Speed you missed the word at the time and wasn't even sure if he
- 2:30:47would return when he did. Tatum also told people to People
- 2:30:52magazine that back in October he had doubts about the about his
- 2:30:58basketball career and that he was under the belief that the
- 2:31:02Celtics could trade him despite all the success he had with
- 2:31:06Boston pre injury. ESP NS Brian Windhorst said on
- 2:31:11First Take that he was very pleased how Jayson Tatum looked
- 2:31:16in his return and believes that the Celtics are serious
- 2:31:18contenders with him back and have surpassed the Pistons as
- 2:31:23the best team in the East. The Celtics are currently 43 and
- 2:31:2621, two .5 games ahead of the Knicks for the second seed in
- 2:31:31the East and 2.5 games behind the Pistons for the number one
- 2:31:36seed in the East. Although the Detroit Pistons is
- 2:31:40in in the midst of their four-game losing streak, the
- 2:31:45Knicks fell to Luca and the Lakers Sunday without LeBron,
- 2:31:49giving the Celtics a legitimate shot at the top seed in the
- 2:31:53Eastern Conference going into the playoffs this year, who
- 2:31:55cares where they land? First, second, third, 4th, 4th?
- 2:32:01We know the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
- 2:32:03We know they're going to be matched up against the Knicks in
- 2:32:06the second round. I don't think it's blind to
- 2:32:09understand what is going on. What scares me here is Jayson
- 2:32:13Tatum tore his Achilles against who?
- 2:32:15The New York Knicks and the same New York Knick team that was up
- 2:32:19three O against them in that playoff run where everybody was
- 2:32:22shocked, including Celtic fans. How are the Knicks beating US3O
- 2:32:27and the Celtics play chase? I think this could be completely
- 2:32:31different. Jason Tatum is an explosive
- 2:32:33player. He's going to get his feet on to
- 2:32:35him and eventually he's going to be an elite player.
- 2:32:38Again. He is not what you call an
- 2:32:41athletically gifted kid. Now, I'm not saying he's not
- 2:32:44athletically gifted, but his game is not athlete.
- 2:32:47You know, his, his, his ability is his gifts as as as
- 2:32:51athletically gifted kid. His gifts are his shooting
- 2:32:54ability, his perimeter jump shot, what he does on the boards
- 2:32:57as as a power forward or three. He's he completely sets up
- 2:33:02mismatches against a lot of teams in the Eastern Conference,
- 2:33:05including the Western Conference.
- 2:33:06And to me, when he is on, he is probably one of the more
- 2:33:11unstoppable players in the league.
- 2:33:13When you have a guy like Jalen Brown who's up for an MVP this
- 2:33:15year, he's got the ability to take over games and he can
- 2:33:19defend multiple positions and you got this guy.
- 2:33:21I the problem, what I think the Celtics are going to have
- 2:33:26against these bigger teams like the Knicks, like Detroit, is
- 2:33:29their size, that that's going to be the problem.
- 2:33:33And now, and does that matter over the last couple of years
- 2:33:37when we've seen teams like, I don't know, OK C that are not
- 2:33:41quoted as a big, big team? Now they play small and OK C won
- 2:33:46a championship. Indiana.
- 2:33:47They played small against the Knicks and they beat the Knicks
- 2:33:50and they almost beat OK C. So again, when I look at these
- 2:33:55teams, including the Celtics, does that worry me?
- 2:33:59No, they have one of the one of the best coaches in the league
- 2:34:02right now. And I wouldn't I, I wouldn't go
- 2:34:03out there and say that after what I seen this year and what
- 2:34:06I've seen over the last two years.
- 2:34:08They do have a very good quality coach that knows what he does
- 2:34:12and nobody knows how he is going to call his plays and how he's
- 2:34:14going to get these players to play.
- 2:34:16And and I, they have the best six man in the NBA right now.
- 2:34:20I don't think that's an argument.
- 2:34:21The problem with also with the Celtics that worries me if I'm a
- 2:34:24Celtic fan, is their bench, do they have enough to be teams
- 2:34:28like the Knicks or Detroit? Or even if they get out of the
- 2:34:31Eastern Conference, are they going to be able to beat OKC or
- 2:34:34or one of these teams in front of them that Minnesota or, or
- 2:34:38the teams that have very strong benches over the last the last
- 2:34:42couple of weeks? So that is my question that I
- 2:34:46would have to ask the Celtics. Jayson Tatum is a great player
- 2:34:50and if you're a Celtic fan, I know Mikey C is a Celtic fan, so
- 2:34:53he's going to sit there and say he loves it.
- 2:34:55I am not. I, I root for Jason Tatum
- 2:34:57because he's the Duke Blue Devil.
- 2:34:59I followed him when he played for Duke.
- 2:35:01I love the kid. I did not like when when the
- 2:35:03Celtics drafted him at #4 But he's really developed into a
- 2:35:06sensational player. So I, I root for him because
- 2:35:09he's a Duke player. I root for every Duke player
- 2:35:12that comes into the NBA, even if they play for teams I can't
- 2:35:15stand. So I'm rooting for him.
- 2:35:17Not against the Knicks. I'm worried about the New York
- 2:35:20Knicks. I am.
- 2:35:22I don't care what anybody says. The Knicks didn't do enough in
- 2:35:26in my eyes at the trade deadline.
- 2:35:28I I like Alvarado. I do, I like him.
- 2:35:31And it's we're yet to see the best of out of Jose Alvarado.
- 2:35:35We're yet to see it. But you needed to add a unique
- 2:35:41piece to this roster because, you know, guys like Carl Anthony
- 2:35:45Towns, OG and a Nobi and and half of these players do not
- 2:35:52play consistent basketball. The only one that plays
- 2:35:54consistently offensively is, you know, Jalen Brunson and Karl
- 2:36:00Anthony Towns scares me as well because Karl Anthony Towns is
- 2:36:03good of the games that we've seen him play back-to-back, He
- 2:36:06plays these one or two bad games that make you shake your head
- 2:36:09and wonder if he even knows what team he's playing for or if he
- 2:36:12knows what position he plays for or plays at.
- 2:36:17He plays sometimes as a as a guard when he's a big man.
- 2:36:21And it doesn't make any sense. And and to me, this is a make or
- 2:36:25break year for Karl Anthony Towns this year because if this
- 2:36:28team doesn't go all the way to a championship and you ought to go
- 2:36:34through the Celtics who now have you.
- 2:36:36And I'm going to give Jason Tatum a lot of credit because
- 2:36:38tearing your Achilles, we're not seeing Hal Burton come back.
- 2:36:41They already knew the Indiana already knew what they were
- 2:36:44doing going to the season. They were going to choke.
- 2:36:46They were going to make sure that they're a bad team so they
- 2:36:48can get a top five pick so they can add a player to play with
- 2:36:51Hal Burton. That's what they were going to
- 2:36:52do. Everybody knows what they were
- 2:36:54going to do going into this season.
- 2:36:57The Knicks, their best chance and their window is open now and
- 2:37:03even if they may add Giannis in the offseason, which I'm going
- 2:37:06to get into that tomorrow with Quran because I'm going to be
- 2:37:08joining. We and him are going to be doing
- 2:37:10a show together moving forward, which I'm going to make an
- 2:37:12announcement. We're going to be doing 2 shows
- 2:37:15together, the War Room, and we're going to be doing
- 2:37:18something else after games. As a Knick fan, you cannot be
- 2:37:24happy that Jason Tatum's coming back.
- 2:37:27All of you guys, every one of you guys in the studio right
- 2:37:30now, including Fish, our Nick Fence, everybody and all the
- 2:37:35people that are listening to the show right now are not going to
- 2:37:37argue with me right now. When you look at Jayson Tatum,
- 2:37:40you look at Jaylen Brown playing at a high level that he is and
- 2:37:42the way they've done it all season long with less of the
- 2:37:46talent they've had over the years.
- 2:37:48There's no more poisonous. I know White's on the team.
- 2:37:51There's no more Holiday. They they don't have the they
- 2:37:54don't have old man Horford coming off the bench.
- 2:37:57They don't have that anymore. This is a different team,
- 2:38:00different roster and what they've done was just white and
- 2:38:03Jaylen Brown and and and and who's the six man again?
- 2:38:06Pritchard, Pritchard, Pritchard, who's probably going to win six
- 2:38:09man again this year. I mean, it's incredible.
- 2:38:14It's an incredible coaching job. Honestly.
- 2:38:16The Celtics, their coach is going to win coach of the year.
- 2:38:19I I would think so after the season that he's having with
- 2:38:23less of the talent that he's had over the years.
- 2:38:25Jayson Tatum just adds the little cherry on top.
- 2:38:29The little cherry on top. Maybe a big cherry, but some
- 2:38:33strawberry topping on it. He's a great player, man.
- 2:38:38Now is he enough to to beat the New York Knicks in a semi game
- 2:38:42series? Time will tell because he was on
- 2:38:44that roster last year before he tore his Achilles in game 4.
- 2:38:49The Knicks were up three O and he was in the lineup.
- 2:38:53But we all know that the Celtics are going to go out.
- 2:38:56They know what happened last year and they're going to
- 2:38:59they're as of right now, they look like they're going to have
- 2:39:01home field advantage, homecourt advantage against the Knicks,
- 2:39:03just like they did last year. The Knicks are a better home
- 2:39:06team than they are away team this year, something that they
- 2:39:09were a better away team last year than they were home.
- 2:39:12If you're a Knicks fan, you cannot be excited to see Jason
- 2:39:15Tatum come back and if and he's going to get enough reps, enough
- 2:39:19time to get on that basketball court to be ready for the
- 2:39:22playoffs. That's the scary part here.
- 2:39:24Yeah, and that's the thing where you look at the Celtics, the way
- 2:39:27they were just operating this year, they a lot, a lot of
- 2:39:30people. I never thought they were going
- 2:39:31to miss the playoffs like a lot of people did at the beginning
- 2:39:33of the year. I thought they were like the
- 2:39:34five or six, see, But now they're the 2.
- 2:39:36They can really still still be comfortable in their game and
- 2:39:38let Tatum ease himself back into the game.
- 2:39:41Now again, the Celtics assist per game and wise they're not
- 2:39:43great this year, but pretty much every other category they're
- 2:39:45doing very well and obviously White getting more minutes to
- 2:39:48full time point guard with them getting rid of a lot of other
- 2:39:50guys makes a big difference in that.
- 2:39:52But Even so, they have a lot of productive players in Jason
- 2:39:55Tatum's prediction that can get a combined production.
- 2:39:58Peyton Pritchard obviously being the 6th man of the year.
- 2:40:00Kennedy he also trade for a guy in Anthony Simons that was a
- 2:40:03good three-point shooter when he was in Portland alongside Damian
- 2:40:05Lillard after they traded McCollum.
- 2:40:07They got good production from him.
- 2:40:08They trade for Nicola Vujovic, who's now hurt.
- 2:40:10But it's going to be a productive.
- 2:40:12Another tow job. When he comes back, a young kid
- 2:40:14and Kate Son was a big, big man who's replaced the role of
- 2:40:17Horford. Well, they have guys that got
- 2:40:19the combined production to work where they don't have to like
- 2:40:21rush Tatum to back into what he's doing.
- 2:40:23I think down the road, yeah, in the playoffs they're going to
- 2:40:26have to rely on Tatum being more of a ball handler again, because
- 2:40:28we saw a certain playoff series, Jaylen Brown, and sometimes it's
- 2:40:31not a good ball handler. And Derek White, he.
- 2:40:34Takes himself. Undersized in certain matchups,
- 2:40:36so that'll be up to Missoula to do that kind of thing.
- 2:40:37But you mentioned it like the Celtics are not going to be that
- 2:40:39fundamentally flawed team that you saw at certain points where
- 2:40:43they got too comfortable against the Knicks.
- 2:40:44Remember, they had the 220 point leads against the Knicks early
- 2:40:47in that series and they just kept shooting too many threes
- 2:40:49and. Then I think the Celtics are in
- 2:40:50a driver's seat. Yeah, I I think because of the
- 2:40:53adversity they had to overcome, which is something that Missoula
- 2:40:55was not having to be tested with for his first couple of years as
- 2:40:59the coach for the Celtics. I think now you're really seeing
- 2:41:02that there are a lot more intention and detail type team
- 2:41:05that is going to help them in the playoffs.
- 2:41:07And Tatum is not somebody that has to rely, like you said, on
- 2:41:10his athleticism, on him having the ball on his hands all the
- 2:41:13time, because the Celtics have a good system that gets that in
- 2:41:15place. I am worried about the size
- 2:41:17overall like you are, especially if Vuchevik does miss more time,
- 2:41:21too and he's not having to come back kind of quickly in the
- 2:41:23playoffs. Obviously losing Porzingis this
- 2:41:25offseason, they have to trade him.
- 2:41:27Losing Horford, obviously, he's not really big for his side at
- 2:41:29this point in his career, but still, maybe that could be a
- 2:41:32question. But you look at the way they're
- 2:41:34built right now, they have a lot of guys that can play multiple
- 2:41:36roles and concepts in this basketball team that's still
- 2:41:38very strong, where Tatum can still be eased back very well.
- 2:41:41I think it's if you're a Knick fan, you have to worry that
- 2:41:45Jason Tatum is coming back. Everybody thought it was going
- 2:41:47to be Detroit that you have to worry about, but it's not
- 2:41:49Detroit, it's the Celtics. They have won a championship
- 2:41:52with practically this roster. They are a little bit smaller
- 2:41:55than they usually are. There's no more Porzingis on
- 2:41:57this roster. Their size is is limited.
- 2:42:00But everything else, athletically, they're as good as
- 2:42:03anybody in the Eastern Conference.
- 2:42:05Everybody keeps talking about what the Cavaliers, and they
- 2:42:07watch out for the Cavaliers with some of these secondary teams.
- 2:42:10I think the team to watch now is the Celtics, and I think the
- 2:42:13Celtics are going to win this division.
- 2:42:14I really do. I think the Celtics with Tatum
- 2:42:17coming back only 2 1/2 games behind the Detroit Pistons.
- 2:42:20Detroit. My question with Detroit is they
- 2:42:23have the hardest schedule left out of all these teams.
- 2:42:27Are they going to be able to keep up the pace?
- 2:42:28Are they going to be able to keep teams like the Celtics or
- 2:42:31even Knicks catching them? I, I, I don't believe they will.
- 2:42:34I think they're going to lose their spot.
- 2:42:35There's a lot of basketball left before the season's over.
- 2:42:38So I think there's like 20 something games.
- 2:42:40Left yeah, and they have a lot of veterans that have really
- 2:42:42over performed this year too, Tobias Harris, Robinson, Duncan
- 2:42:46Robinson, who I always liked, but again, kind of a question
- 2:42:48mark. And I I don't know if their
- 2:42:50depth like has the consistency that the Knicks depth does or
- 2:42:54even the Celtics with their wing spot.
- 2:42:56I just worry about the Celtics size.
- 2:42:57The Pistons have size. They definitely have the size
- 2:42:59advantage, which Stewart and Duran and guys like that.
- 2:43:01But there is some concern with the lack of experience and the
- 2:43:04lack of just untrustingness of a lot of those starting players at
- 2:43:08this level. Because we've seen now in
- 2:43:09today's NBA where you probably have to be a top three seed to
- 2:43:12win an NBA title, but you don't really need to be the number one
- 2:43:15anymore. Like home field homecourt
- 2:43:16advantage, was that relied upon anymore?
- 2:43:19So, Speedy, we talked earlier today about the Pistons and how
- 2:43:24this is this the year that they get their experience or is this
- 2:43:29the year that we find out Kate Cunningham is the next big guy?
- 2:43:34Kind of like how Derrick Rose years ago had a great regular
- 2:43:38season, but then he was like dominant putting up stats when
- 2:43:43they got to the playoffs too. And then all of a sudden now
- 2:43:46he's the next guy. He wins an MVP, Obviously had
- 2:43:48the injury, but it reminds me of that.
- 2:43:51Kate is doing it all this year. He's third in MVP odds, but
- 2:43:55they've never done it as a team. As a Knicks fan, I'm not as
- 2:43:59afraid of Detroit as I am Boston at all, but it's a very
- 2:44:04different Knicks team this year than the one they faced last
- 2:44:06year. Offensively, defensively, it's
- 2:44:09the same guys and I would argue OGN and Obi's levelled up a
- 2:44:12little bit this year on both ends of the court, even though
- 2:44:15he was already great defensively.
- 2:44:17Bridges kind of shut those guys down last year too.
- 2:44:19If you remember one of those big end of the games, Bridges had
- 2:44:22the huge block of Tatum before he got hurt.
- 2:44:25So I think it's still a really bad match up for the Celtics.
- 2:44:28Brunson's not afraid of Derek White, he's not afraid of Payton
- 2:44:31Pritchard. Those guys scare a lot of
- 2:44:33people. Not Brunson.
- 2:44:35I just think they don't match up well against the Knicks,
- 2:44:37especially if Mitch is playing well inside against them.
- 2:44:40I think they're going to have a lot of trouble still.
- 2:44:42And with Tatum at like 80%, I still think they don't want to
- 2:44:45face the Knicks. They're hoping they don't.
- 2:44:48Not necessarily that Tatum's afraid of them.
- 2:44:49I bet Tatum gives everything he has in that series, but they
- 2:44:53can't play in more than 28 minutes.
- 2:44:54Speedy. What did he play 27 one game and
- 2:44:57like I have the other and. They're not going to need to
- 2:44:59because I think, like I said, they have enough systematic
- 2:45:02things. They're the two seed right now.
- 2:45:03They're not going to go away from what's working for them
- 2:45:05right now and they will E hate him back into a obviously he's
- 2:45:09comfortable in pretty much everything but not have to force
- 2:45:12it into one role like they asked to be a savior for them.
- 2:45:15Yeah, I mean, look, it's they had this guy that you got to
- 2:45:19tell me where he's from. Speedy, this is this white guy,
- 2:45:22Shireman Crate from Creighton. All right, so Shireman.
- 2:45:28Yeah. So he was doing like the Jason
- 2:45:30Tatum minutes, and now and like a couple other guys, they traded
- 2:45:33Simons, who was getting some of those minutes.
- 2:45:36Now Tatum's going to take those minutes in the lineup and they
- 2:45:40have depth. So now look at this is a
- 2:45:42different Celtics team because they have more depth in the
- 2:45:44rotation, maybe at the forward position, because all of those
- 2:45:47guys had to get in there when Tatum was out.
- 2:45:49So they have that going for them.
- 2:45:51Just, I just don't know. I just don't think this is a
- 2:45:54better Celtics team than last year.
- 2:45:57And the Knicks were beating the Celtics before Tatum got hurt.
- 2:46:00So that's how I see it. And I'm very optimistic about
- 2:46:03the Knicks this year. This is the most optimistic I've
- 2:46:04ever been as a Knicks fan, I think in my entire life, dating
- 2:46:08back to when I was a kid when they went to the, you know,
- 2:46:10they, they snuck in as an eighth seed in 2000 or 99 or whatever
- 2:46:14it was. I don't know.
- 2:46:16What do you think? I think I'm worried if I'm, if
- 2:46:19you're a Knick fan. I am a Knick fan and anybody
- 2:46:22that knows me, I the Knicks are my favorite team out of all the
- 2:46:25sports teams that I root for. I would worry that the Celtics
- 2:46:28getting Tatum back and giving them that punch and give him
- 2:46:31that confidence that you're going to have that secondary
- 2:46:33offense. You're not going to have to
- 2:46:35worry about, you know, Derek White being that secondary
- 2:46:37offense because we saw what he did when Tatum went down in game
- 2:46:40five. He was bad.
- 2:46:42He really was. It was Jaylen Brown or nothing
- 2:46:45and Pritchard. As good as Pritchard is as a 6th
- 2:46:48man in the playoffs, he was up and he was down.
- 2:46:51The Knicks left him open. If the guy that you have to
- 2:46:53worry about is Jason Tatum. But when Jason Tatum went out
- 2:46:56after game 4I, I think the Knicks smell blood.
- 2:46:59They knew that this series was over.
- 2:47:01There was no way the Celtics come back, even though a lot of
- 2:47:04people didn't think they were going to come back in in after
- 2:47:06three games and in the next pretty much sweeping them over
- 2:47:09there in Boston and then beating them that one game at home.
- 2:47:12So I, I, I don't trust some of these guys.
- 2:47:16I, I, I'm, I'm just telling you, OG and OB is one of the best
- 2:47:19defender defenders in all of all of basketball.
- 2:47:22There's no question perimeter defenders probably the best, but
- 2:47:25you have Mikhail Bridges. Is he going to play enough?
- 2:47:27Is he going to score enough? Are they going to be consistent?
- 2:47:30There's inconsistency. McBride hasn't played this year.
- 2:47:32We'll see him in the playoffs. Is that going to cut out Jose
- 2:47:35Alvarado and his time on the basketball court?
- 2:47:37There's a lot of things that you wonder and Mike Brown, how is he
- 2:47:40going to run this roster? How is this going to work in the
- 2:47:42playoffs when they're making that run, that playoff push in
- 2:47:45that run? And you need to get Karl Anthony
- 2:47:47Towns more, more, you know, touches and in games that
- 2:47:51sometimes I believe Karl Anthony Towns disappears in.
- 2:47:54So I, I, I think you need to see where that secondary option is
- 2:47:58going to come. And I don't know if we're going
- 2:48:00to be able to see that against teams like the Celtics or even
- 2:48:03Detroit. I think the Knicks match up very
- 2:48:05well against Detroit in A7 game series.
- 2:48:06I have the Knicks against the Celtics, the Celtics and every
- 2:48:10time the Knicks beat Jaylen Brown and the Celtics, every
- 2:48:13time Jaylen Brown calls a meeting always he does not like
- 2:48:17losing against the Knicks ever. So I'm telling you right now
- 2:48:21when he was shocked that the Knicks beat him in his in, in,
- 2:48:24in the series last year. So best believe Jaylen Brown is
- 2:48:27going to go out there and he's going to try to torture the
- 2:48:29Knicks If if the if the Cavaliers can't knock off the
- 2:48:32Celtics or somebody knocks off the Celtics early into the
- 2:48:36playoffs. So that's what I worry about.
- 2:48:37Unfortunately to me, teams like the Celtics are going to smell
- 2:48:41blood and they might, you know, feast on teams like the Knicks.
- 2:48:45What's interesting with the Knicks depth this year, the way
- 2:48:47it's structured too is there's a lot more of those guards and the
- 2:48:49Celtics depth is much more of the wing type, no size.
- 2:48:53And that's what I worry. That's where you were mentioning
- 2:48:55Fish with with Shireman and I think and Simon's before they
- 2:48:58traded him a lot of those guys like those would be the matchups
- 2:49:01the way the offseason went to counter the Knicks perimeter
- 2:49:04defense depth and the Knicks accumulated more perimen defense
- 2:49:07depth to counter that very well as well.
- 2:49:09Yes, the size is still concerned with the Celtics too, if because
- 2:49:12obviously Kate is not going to be one playing that's playing a
- 2:49:14lot of the big minutes and they're trying to work food to
- 2:49:16Vic back in was an older guy. Will they be able to make that
- 2:49:18kind of thing work? The Knicks like is this little
- 2:49:21management plan with Mitchell Robinson going to work to that
- 2:49:23same advantage too? But then, will Towns played
- 2:49:25enough defense to make it work? All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:49:29when we come back, we have a lot more to go.
- 2:49:32We got call your shot. We got caged in MMA, got some
- 2:49:35UFC conversation for UFC 326. We're going to have Jake join in
- 2:49:40and he's going to give us his take and we'll go back and forth
- 2:49:42and we'll talk about maybe the UFC matchups coming up over
- 2:49:47there at the White House as it was announced during 326 and
- 2:49:51somebody wasn't very happy about it.
- 2:49:54And we will get into that when we come back.
- 2:49:56And what's that smell final? Obviously every every week,
- 2:50:00every Monday we do What's that smell?
- 2:50:01So we'll have that as well. But first, another sports minute
- 2:50:04with fish. This is the Jabba and the Mouth
- 2:50:09sportsman at. All right, guys, Aaron Fishman
- 2:50:14with another sportsman. They got a couple of more
- 2:50:16stories before we go through the scores tonight.
- 2:50:19NFL labor talks are heating up with the NFL Referees
- 2:50:22Association and according to ESPN Adam Schefter, they are not
- 2:50:26at a good place at all heading into the start of the NFL league
- 2:50:29year. On Wednesday, reports since the
- 2:50:31Schefter say frustration is mounting with the NFL owners.
- 2:50:35In a memo last season, the NFL commented on this growing issue,
- 2:50:38saying it remained focused on implementing changes to the
- 2:50:41agreement in ways that will improve the performance of our
- 2:50:44game officials, increase accountability, and ensure that
- 2:50:47the highest performing officials are officiating our highest
- 2:50:50profile games. The referee union on the other
- 2:50:53hand wants to roll back or maintain the status quo at worst
- 2:50:58with how micromanaged the referees are beginning to to
- 2:51:01feel the NFL has become with their jobs.
- 2:51:04The labor agreement with the refs expires in May so we may be
- 2:51:08headed to a season with scab refs.
- 2:51:10If you remember as far back as the 2012 NFL season when there
- 2:51:14was a referee strike which lasted 110 days through the 1st
- 2:51:173 weeks of the regular season, there was quite a lot of outrage
- 2:51:21at significantly worse officiating including the
- 2:51:24infamous fail marry play where a game was decided on a Hail Mary.
- 2:51:28One cut 1 ref called a catch and the other called incomplete.
- 2:51:32Well, despite the fact you know, the league may not be in a more
- 2:51:36situation financially, they may be in a worse situation than
- 2:51:39they realized than they were in 2012.
- 2:51:41And they may have to capitulate because now there's sports
- 2:51:45gambling as well. And this whole thing could add
- 2:51:48another dimension to the lockout with some of these scab refs
- 2:51:52that they might want to avoid. NFL RA executive Director Scott
- 2:51:56Green spoke to the media in December, stating that while he
- 2:51:58looks forward to negotiations with the league, he was going to
- 2:52:01be playing his cards close to the vest and not share what the
- 2:52:04referees are looking for publicly.
- 2:52:06Expect to hear much, much more about this in the coming month
- 2:52:10or so, and ESP NS College Game Day host and host to the
- 2:52:14eponymously named Pat McAfee Show made an announcement
- 2:52:17Monday, surely to upset fans like our our producer Tommy of
- 2:52:23the Squared Circle. In a short video, Pat McAfee
- 2:52:25told his fans that he is stepping away from broadcasting
- 2:52:28WWE for the foreseeable future. I don't think you ever say
- 2:52:32never, you know, especially with the WWE.
- 2:52:35But right now it does not feel like it is something that's
- 2:52:37supposed to happen. I feel like that business has
- 2:52:39kind of passed me by a little. I grew up loving it, dreamed to
- 2:52:43work in it, feel honored that I had the opportunity to work
- 2:52:45alongside the GOAT, Michael Cole, but I feel like the biz
- 2:52:49isn't a good spot without me. I'll continue to watch with WWE.
- 2:52:53Part of the magic is fan favorites like McAfee coming
- 2:52:56back in unexpected situations at unexpected time.
- 2:52:59So eventually, we will likely see one of WWE's best announcers
- 2:53:03back in the Visit some point in the future, although that
- 2:53:06apparently won't be anytime soon.
- 2:53:08Luckily for McAfee fans, he is still one of the most public
- 2:53:10sports media personas out there, and he isn't leaving your
- 2:53:13screens anytime soon. For WWE fans though, McAfee, who
- 2:53:16won them over both on the mic and in the ring, will likely be
- 2:53:20talked about as one of the great color commentators of the and
- 2:53:22era, as he and Michael Cole led the coverage of the Bloodline
- 2:53:26and Roman Reigns's domination over the entire industry for
- 2:53:29about four years starting late 2020, culminating to his loss to
- 2:53:33Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 in April of 2024.

- 2:55:51Well, you just said it. So my thumb.
- 2:55:53Are you sticking your thumb? No.
- 2:55:59Errol ChatGPT has already cut me off for making videos tonight so
- 2:56:02I can't do this speedy. This is too graphic.
- 2:56:05Yeah, it might be. Anyways, we call this segment
- 2:56:08Call Your Shot. I'm not an X's and O's guy,
- 2:56:12right? I'm not a tactician.
- 2:56:13I'm a motivator in the classic sense of the word.
- 2:56:15You know Lombardi, Charles Lindbergh, that nun over in
- 2:56:18India, like those people? Call your shot all.
- 2:56:23Right. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
- 2:56:24very simple. How we play this game.
- 2:56:27We're going to tell you a story and what we're going to do is
- 2:56:30we're going to call it, it might never happen, but it might.
- 2:56:33And we could go back and say I was right.
- 2:56:36So we're going to tell you where we're calling a shot and what
- 2:56:40sport or even something, maybe something on Netflix.
- 2:56:43That could be a number one big show on Netflix.
- 2:56:46I don't know, whatever, we're going to call our shots.
- 2:56:48All right, tonight we're going to go speedy fish me.
- 2:56:52Here we go. All right, so I'm going to go to
- 2:56:54college basketball for this one. So 2 trends that I'm going to
- 2:56:56reference for this one. The hottest team in going into
- 2:56:59the NCAA tournament almost never wins.
- 2:57:02And in the last 10 years worth of defending champions have not
- 2:57:06escaped the second round outside of UConn when they won
- 2:57:08back-to-back championship. So I'm going to call my shot on
- 2:57:11taking taking out the Florida Gators in the first weekend
- 2:57:15against an 8 or 9. See there's a lot of good ones.
- 2:57:17I can see NC State, a very good team on the rise with Will Wade
- 2:57:20there. UCLA, Johnny was talking about
- 2:57:22them a few weeks ago. Very balanced overall team.
- 2:57:25You got a talented team in Kentucky.
- 2:57:26Those are just the 8th seas and then the 7th seas.
- 2:57:28We talked about Villanova last week.
- 2:57:30Georgia is an interesting one. Miami is an interesting one.
- 2:57:32A lot of teams that could take him out I think in the second
- 2:57:34round. So I will say defending
- 2:57:35champion. Florida keeps that trend going
- 2:57:38of defending champions not doing well next year and out in the
- 2:57:41second round. All right, Speedy, That's a good
- 2:57:43one. I am going to go to my beloved
- 2:57:46New York Football Giants. I'm calling it right now, Errol,
- 2:57:50I know what the Giants are going to do at the top of the draft in
- 2:57:53April. This is what's going to happen.
- 2:57:55The Giants currently are sitting at #5 they are not going to
- 2:57:58draft at #5 They are going to make a deal with the New Orleans
- 2:58:03Saints, who are not going to be patient enough to wait for
- 2:58:05Carnell Tate to fall to them. They will move up to 5, trade
- 2:58:09back to 8, where they will select Ohio State linebacker
- 2:58:13Sonny Styles and make him the linchpin of John Harbaugh's
- 2:58:18defense that will win championships in the near
- 2:58:22future. Somebody.
- 2:58:23'S on drugs tonight. Is this the first Collier shot
- 2:58:26where you've taken back another Collier shot because you said
- 2:58:29Caleb Downs the first time? Yeah.
- 2:58:31Well I I I do want to say this. I was looking at the newer mock
- 2:58:35wrap. We all say that Styles is a top
- 2:58:38five worthy guy even though maybe the production in college
- 2:58:41wasn't like super elite. That combine he did wasn't just
- 2:58:45the other stuff like on the field, it was also the
- 2:58:49interviews. Apparently one of the best
- 2:58:50interviewers at the combine. I would worry you met.
- 2:58:53I would worry if I'm picking styles as my number one first
- 2:58:57round. Bet trade back you get like
- 2:58:59you'd probably get like a second this year and probably like 1/3
- 2:59:03next year. That's.
- 2:59:04A lot trading down 3 and you're going to get a second and third.
- 2:59:07For the for the guy that you wanted in the 1st place, right?
- 2:59:11They're not going to take AD end.
- 2:59:12Why are the Saints? Why are the Saints going to move
- 2:59:14up? That's what I was going to ask,
- 2:59:15like. Who do you think?
- 2:59:16Because there's I think people want tape.
- 2:59:18I think so. We haven't talked about it, but
- 2:59:21tape has. The reason you said like the
- 2:59:24numbers people are shouting down tape.
- 2:59:26Kate has these. I forget what the stat is,
- 2:59:29Speedy, you might know the advanced analytic, but it's
- 2:59:31something about how good his hands are.
- 2:59:33His hands are the best they've ever measured as far as how good
- 2:59:37at catching the ball he is. Who was the guy that came out
- 2:59:40recently? He had like a 70 something
- 2:59:42percent. He was one of the top guys
- 2:59:45drafted in the last couple of years.
- 2:59:46He makes him look like nothing. He's like in the 80s.
- 2:59:49No one's ever been in the 80s. Apparently.
- 2:59:50His hands are going to be like a 99 Madden rating.
- 2:59:53Carnell TI. Don't see the Saints moving up
- 2:59:56to get him. I I don't think they have to
- 2:59:58honestly. That's just my opinion.
- 3:00:01He's going to be a top ten pick and I I think there are quite a
- 3:00:03few teams. I don't see any other team
- 3:00:05thinking wide receiver besides the Saints or the Giants.
- 3:00:09So I I think he'll fall to them if they want them.
- 3:00:13And it doesn't look like Love's going to be the guy.
- 3:00:15I think Love could fall out all the way to 15 or 16.
- 3:00:19I really think that could happen.
- 3:00:20And if if I were The Jets at 16 and he falls to them, you cannot
- 3:00:24not draft this kid. So because he's that explosive,
- 3:00:28he could be a game changing back.
- 3:00:30All right. And our final call, your shot.
- 3:00:34We'll go to the Minnesota Wild. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I
- 3:00:38think this is the best team in hockey right now.
- 3:00:41I think watching Matt Boldy do what he did in the in the
- 3:00:45Olympics and having Quinn Hughes and they've got a loaded team
- 3:00:50from top to bottom and they've got great goaltending.
- 3:00:52They they're just loaded from top to bottom.
- 3:00:56I don't think there's any teams in this division or in this
- 3:01:00conference besides Colorado that can challenge that depth.
- 3:01:04And I think they're better than Colorado.
- 3:01:06I think they have better goal tanning in Colorado.
- 3:01:08And I think they're I think they're just better coached.
- 3:01:11So my prediction is the Minnesota Wild comes out of the
- 3:01:17Western Conference. And here's another prediction.
- 3:01:20Minnesota wins the Stanley Cup this year.
- 3:01:23Yes, the Minnesota Wild comes out of the West.
- 3:01:27Everybody has Colorado and Dallas and all these other team.
- 3:01:30Minnesota's there. Minnesota's better than all.
- 3:01:32And here's another prediction. Minnesota matches up against
- 3:01:35Colorado. They beat him in six.
- 3:01:37So give me Minnesota to win the Stanley Cup this year.
- 3:01:42Yeah, it's it's crazy. I'm looking at Minnesota right
- 3:01:45now. The talent from top to bottom,
- 3:01:47it's it's kind of ridiculous after they got Quinton Hughes
- 3:01:51and they stole Quinton Hughes away from Vancouver.
- 3:01:53I mean stole them. I and I don't understand some of
- 3:01:55the Vancouver moves over the years.
- 3:01:57Bo Horvat. I mean, how bad was that trade?
- 3:01:59I mean, come on, Bo Horvat is the best face off guy right now
- 3:02:03in the NHL. He's the best.
- 3:02:05Hey, Errol, if Bill Guerin and, and you're right in Minnesota
- 3:02:08and they win the Wild win. Is this the greatest year a
- 3:02:12hockey executives ever had? It's a good.
- 3:02:14Question Medal in Stanley Cup. Well, I mean, we can't really
- 3:02:17compare it because United States hasn't won, won a gold medal
- 3:02:20since 46 years ago. So I, I, I, I'll tell you this,
- 3:02:25Bill Garin is a, a very clever hockey mind.
- 3:02:29He was a great hockey player. I, I, I think people forget how
- 3:02:33good Bill Garin was. He was a 300 goal scorer.
- 3:02:35He played for those Devil championships.
- 3:02:37I think he won 2 Stanley Cups out of the three that they won.
- 3:02:40I, I mean, Bill Garin was a good player.
- 3:02:42And I, I also, I met Bill Garin a couple of times too.
- 3:02:46One of the nicer, you know, hockey personalities you'll ever
- 3:02:49meet. Very straightforward, very
- 3:02:52collective. He knows his stuff.
- 3:02:53So I, I like it. It might be, it might be.
- 3:02:56And Bill Garin was on the hot seat going into the season.
- 3:02:59But think about that. I mean, Quinn used just making
- 3:03:02that trade and getting Quinn used, I mean, it was a steal.
- 3:03:06I, I don't know how he got that. I was at Quinn Hughes, his draft
- 3:03:09and I look at Quinn Hughes, they say he's like, I think he say
- 3:03:12he's 510. He's not 5-10 guys.
- 3:03:14He's not even close. I think there was something I
- 3:03:16saw saying too that I think the wild of the first team that have
- 3:03:20traded for 2 captains at 1 trade deadline or at one season.
- 3:03:23Obviously he was early in the season and they think the last
- 3:03:26five that did that made the Stanley Cup.
- 3:03:28Quinn Hughes at best is 5/8, at best is 5/8 and maybe 5-10 on
- 3:03:35skates, if that's what they say. He's a he's a small dude, man.
- 3:03:39He's small, but he's such a good hockey player, really smart
- 3:03:42hockey player and fun to watch. By the way, him and his brother
- 3:03:45Jack and their other brothers, pretty damn good too.
- 3:03:48We'll see what happens in the near future with the Devils.
- 3:03:50Do they move him? Because the Devils need some
- 3:03:53pieces something right now. So anyways, all right, we call
- 3:03:57this caged Din MMA jerk. Why'd you take your pants off?
- 3:04:09This is. Caged in MMA?
- 3:04:13And ladies and gentlemen, we have my partner in crime for USC
- 3:04:18conversation, Mr. Jake. If you don't know him, he has
- 3:04:21been with us for a couple of months.
- 3:04:25He was one of our interns and he was one of the more
- 3:04:27knowledgeable UFC guys we've ever had on this show.
- 3:04:30So I'm happy to have Jake every time we talk UFC.
- 3:04:33In UFC 326 main event on Saturday night, Charles Olivara
- 3:04:39defeats Max Holloway in five rounds, winning by unanimous
- 3:04:43decision decision to capture the first ever BMF belt
- 3:04:47Championship. Well, his first BMF
- 3:04:49Championship. Oliveira got takedowns in all 5
- 3:04:52rounds of the match while Holloway had nothing, had done
- 3:04:57nothing, didn't even attempt to take down Oliveira who
- 3:05:03controlled the fight. It was Oliveras 25th UFC wins,
- 3:05:07surpassing Neil Magni for sole possession of second most ever
- 3:05:13and now trails only Jim Miller. Yes Jim Miller.
- 3:05:18I remember Jim Miller, who holds the record of 27 despite
- 3:05:22Olivera's win. Dana White and the UFC got
- 3:05:25backlash from other fighters for who felt who felt Olivera's
- 3:05:30grappling style made the BMF belt title more boring,
- 3:05:34including boxer Ryan Garcia and UFC champion Nate Diaz.
- 3:05:38Garcia claims that the UFC should just got rid of the BMF
- 3:05:43belt if the fights are going to look like it was.
- 3:05:48You know, it was like that, by the way.
- 3:05:50And Diaz tweeted jokingly. This is who's coming for my
- 3:05:54belt. Yeah.
- 3:05:56When he himself never held the title despite being part of the
- 3:06:01creation of the 2000 of 2019 when they when he lost against
- 3:06:06Jorge Mazvidal in UFC244, Mazvidal never defended the
- 3:06:11title. And in 2023, after retiring,
- 3:06:15Justin Gagey beat Dustin Poirier for the vacant title before
- 3:06:20dropping it for the net for next year to Holloway, who defended
- 3:06:26it successfully against Poirier. Now the title is Oliveira's.
- 3:06:31There is a belief that Conor McGregor could be Oliveira's
- 3:06:35next opponent, especially if Gagey upsets Ilya at the UFC
- 3:06:41White House event. Benoit Saint Denis or Armand
- 3:06:45Zorukian are potential options as well.
- 3:06:49So let let's get into it. Let's get into the Oliveira
- 3:06:51fight because really this car was absolutely pathetic.
- 3:06:54The UFC selling this and and I I think it's good that it's on
- 3:06:58paramount because if you're, if you or if you have paramount,
- 3:07:02you don't have to pay, you know, 7080 dollars what these fights
- 3:07:05were going for. And I think the UFC made a
- 3:07:07really good deal with paramount to help some of these fans out
- 3:07:11and getting the chance to watch some of these pay per views.
- 3:07:14The only fight worth watching was this was the Oliveira and
- 3:07:17Max Holloway. But was it this and I, I, I
- 3:07:21wrote a story on the Worldwide Sports Radio Network.
- 3:07:23You can go and check it out whenever you have a chance.
- 3:07:26I gave you my take from round to round on the way.
- 3:07:28I looked at this this fight and I agree with Ryan Garcia.
- 3:07:33I also agree with Nate Diaz. When you look at both fighters,
- 3:07:39Oliveira is not a BMF fighter. He he could stand up, he could
- 3:07:43stand with the best of you, but you knew what he was going to do
- 3:07:45against Max Holloway. Max Holloway is one of the best
- 3:07:47stand up fighters the UFC has. He's a great boxer.
- 3:07:50He throws some of the best combinations you'll ever see
- 3:07:53AUFC fighter throw. And we never got a chance to see
- 3:07:57it because really early in the fight, Olivera's game plan was,
- 3:08:02you know, throw leg kicks, give him a couple of kicks, draw him
- 3:08:06in so he can take him down. And I think there was a lot of
- 3:08:09cage holding, which the I think Herb Dean allowed.
- 3:08:14I wasn't Herb Dean. I don't know if it was Herb
- 3:08:16Dean. Was it Herb Dean?
- 3:08:16I wasn't. I forget who the referee was,
- 3:08:18but whoever was the referee of the fight allowed a lot of cage
- 3:08:23holding. I thought both Max Holloway and
- 3:08:26Oliveira were grabbing the cage a lot.
- 3:08:29There should have been points deducted in the fight.
- 3:08:31I just thought that if you're going to set up ABMF fight, you
- 3:08:35want to see a Justin Gagey, you want to see a Max Holloway, you
- 3:08:38want to see the guys that'll stand up and pound.
- 3:08:41That's what does BMF stand for. Bad mother fucker.
- 3:08:45That's what it sounds for and, and, and Nate Diaz and Ryan
- 3:08:49Garcia says said it right. I think that the UFC needs to
- 3:08:52figure out what they're going to do with this belt because you
- 3:08:54cannot let Oliveira hold this belt.
- 3:08:56You cannot. If he fights like this, he'll
- 3:08:59never lose the belt. Who's he matching up against
- 3:09:01really? Saint Denis?
- 3:09:03St. Denis is just like Oliveira.
- 3:09:05He takes people down and he tries to ground and pound you.
- 3:09:08Oliveira is one of the greatest ground fighters I've ever seen.
- 3:09:12His control, ability to hold you on the ground, wrap his legs,
- 3:09:16the body locks that he put on Max Holloway even I don't know
- 3:09:20if anybody watched the fight, but he was doing things that
- 3:09:22I've never seen a fighter really do.
- 3:09:24He was using his chin to try. He was dropping his chin on his
- 3:09:28face to try to open up cuts. I've never seen anything like
- 3:09:32it. Usually you drop elbows, you're
- 3:09:34throwing fist or hammer. You know, Howard Pound or you
- 3:09:37know, they call him Hammer Fist, but he was dropping his, you
- 3:09:40know, he's dropping his hip. He was really controlling the
- 3:09:43fight. I, I, I thought it was just
- 3:09:45complete domination. Max Holloway said it best.
- 3:09:49He was a better man tonight and he'll he'll be back.
- 3:09:51But do you want to see this again?
- 3:09:53Do you want to see Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira Part 3?
- 3:09:58I don't think so. I think I've seen enough of this
- 3:10:01Oliveira. I want to see a match up against
- 3:10:03somebody that's going to keep him on his feet and challenge
- 3:10:06him. The last fight, Ilio just
- 3:10:09completely beat the hell out of, you know, beat the hell out of
- 3:10:13him. And Olivera, I've never seen
- 3:10:15Olivera get completely dominated like that by anybody.
- 3:10:19And I, I don't think there's anybody right now in that weight
- 3:10:22class that can beat Olivera because Olivera is that good on
- 3:10:27the ground. Even if you look at right now,
- 3:10:29Saint Denis, St. Denis is a great fighter and I
- 3:10:32know he wants to fight for a belt.
- 3:10:33He doesn't want the BMF title. He doesn't want it, but if he
- 3:10:36can get a title shot to to get that belt to get a title shot, I
- 3:10:40think Denis would be the guy that I would, you know,
- 3:10:44challenge Charles Alliferro against because both guys are
- 3:10:47great ground fighters. So Rukian is not he's a boring
- 3:10:51fighter. I, I, I don't, and I know you
- 3:10:55probably disagree with me. I, I just, I don't know if I
- 3:10:59would say Sarukian deserves a title, a title shot.
- 3:11:03Now if it's ABMF title and you want to give Denis and Sarukian
- 3:11:07to fight for that belt, yes. I, if I'm Charles Oliveira, I
- 3:11:10don't hold on to the belt. I get rid of the belt.
- 3:11:12I, I, to me it doesn't fit who he is as a fighter.
- 3:11:16And as far as Max Holloway is concerned, is this the last time
- 3:11:21we see Max Holloway Holloway fight at A at a top level?
- 3:11:25Because Max Holloway looked old in the fight.
- 3:11:29Say whatever you want. He looked old.
- 3:11:31Now I understand he fought a world class grappler and a great
- 3:11:34ground fighter, but he looked like he was being pushed around
- 3:11:38like a paperweight. I my girlfriend was watching the
- 3:11:41fight and she doesn't know. She knows Charles Aloe Vera.
- 3:11:44She knows who these fighters are, but she doesn't really know
- 3:11:45them. And she said, she told me after
- 3:11:47the fight, she said this wasn't even a fight, which is complete
- 3:11:50domination. It wasn't.
- 3:11:51It was just really, and I like Charles Oliver, you, you are.
- 3:11:54He's a likable person and it says a lot about who he is as a
- 3:11:58person and as a man that he says, who wouldn't want to see
- 3:12:01us fight again? And it would be me.
- 3:12:03I don't want to see that fight again.
- 3:12:05It was pathetic. And as much as Charles Aravaro
- 3:12:07want to say, well, it was just me being the better fighter that
- 3:12:10night, you would have been the better fighter the first time
- 3:12:13you fought in 2015 if you didn't throw your arm out.
- 3:12:16OK, I had. Honestly, this is a complete
- 3:12:19mismatch and I'm sorry Max, as good of a fighter as you are,
- 3:12:24you don't have a really good ground game.
- 3:12:26You really don't. You're, you're a great stand up
- 3:12:28fighter, but your ground game is weak when you're fighting a guy
- 3:12:31as good as him. I mean, Jake, what are your
- 3:12:33thoughts? Yes, there's a lot to unpack
- 3:12:34there. I think you're right, Errol.
- 3:12:36I mean, like, I don't think it was just like it was a Max
- 3:12:38Holloway. I think, I don't think he's too
- 3:12:40old. I think it was just bad
- 3:12:41strategy. And like he said it like Olivera
- 3:12:43was the better fighter that night.
- 3:12:44I mean, Charles pretty much he blitzed Max at the beginning of
- 3:12:47every round. He never gave him a shot to, you
- 3:12:49know, because obviously we everybody knows Max said it
- 3:12:51himself. He thinks he's the best boxer in
- 3:12:53the UFC and he always puts volume on his opponents and he
- 3:12:56just breaks you down over the the rounds of the fight.
- 3:12:59And you know, even though he does have decent power, it's
- 3:13:01never been his power that with some fights it's been his volume
- 3:13:05that he puts on people. And you know, Charles just
- 3:13:07didn't let it happen. He he blitzed him immediately.
- 3:13:09He took him down and he was constantly looking for
- 3:13:12submissions, which, like you said, I mean, he was using so
- 3:13:14much unorthodox offense on the ground.
- 3:13:16And I mean, and maybe I can't quite think back to it, but I
- 3:13:20don't think many people would disagree with you if you said
- 3:13:22that Charles Olivera is probably the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is
- 3:13:26in the UFC. And then of all of mixed martial
- 3:13:28arts ever seen. He's he's so comfortable on the
- 3:13:31ground. Like even when he gets knocked
- 3:13:32down, when he's fought guys like Dustin Poirier and Justin
- 3:13:34Gaichi, he looks more comfortable on the ground.
- 3:13:36I mean, even against Iliad to Poria, he wanted to stay there
- 3:13:39because he was always looking for submissions.
- 3:13:41He's always looking to finish you.
- 3:13:42And you know, it seems like just Max that he was, you know, he
- 3:13:45was constantly having to fight off those submissions because
- 3:13:47Oliveira was constantly trying to get his neck.
- 3:13:49He was constantly going for face cranks and he just couldn't get,
- 3:13:52you know, Holloway, like, you know, he I give a lot of credit.
- 3:13:55He's not giving up, but he just couldn't get off of him.
- 3:13:58And it, like you said, it was obviously it was a fantastic
- 3:14:01performance at Oliveira. But for the BMF title, like it's
- 3:14:04yeah, it's definitely the weakest fight for the title ever
- 3:14:07was. And I do kind of agree with Nate
- 3:14:09Diaz and Ryan Garcia. Like it's a gimmick belt.
- 3:14:12So like even if like it's a cool title again, it's the baddest
- 3:14:15mother ever, but it doesn't really show much prestige.
- 3:14:18It's not an undisputed title. And it's really all it is.
- 3:14:22Like you said, it wasn't that great of a card.
- 3:14:23It was just a gimmick to get people to want to buy tickets
- 3:14:26and buy the pay-per-view. And obviously with Paramount now
- 3:14:29that doesn't matter as much with pay-per-view sales.
- 3:14:31But also one second, I don't know if when you were watching
- 3:14:34this, did the fight go out? What did you get?
- 3:14:36Like it did it log off of your Paramount?
- 3:14:38Because I had this personally happen.
- 3:14:39I was watching with a lot of my friends and during the main
- 3:14:42event, the fight just shut off. Like we had to try to log back
- 3:14:45in during the third round. It was miserable.
- 3:14:47So I got to give a like a, a slide of Paramount that cannot
- 3:14:50happen ever again. They do.
- 3:14:51It they did, it happened in the Patty Pimply fight too.
- 3:14:54Oh, did it really it? Happened in the Patty Pivola
- 3:14:56fight. Yeah, I didn't have to go out
- 3:14:58for me on that fight. But this fight it went, I mean,
- 3:15:00to be fair, as you were saying, maybe this fight we weren't
- 3:15:02missing much. It was kind of a snooze fest.
- 3:15:04But that cannot happen during the main event of a car like
- 3:15:07that is unacceptable. But of all the cards for it to
- 3:15:10happen, it probably was fine because again, it was total
- 3:15:13domination by Charles Olivera. And like you said, and like Nate
- 3:15:16and Diaz and all them say, like, it's a gimmick belt, it's a cool
- 3:15:20idea, but it's really, there's really no prestige to it other
- 3:15:24than just to have a cool title in terms like, I don't really
- 3:15:27know how much it's going to jump Charles Olivera up the
- 3:15:29lightweight rankings. It's not.
- 3:15:30Now, personally, yeah, for me, I would love this.
- 3:15:32I know you're saying there probably isn't many people for
- 3:15:34him to fight. I would love run back UFC 300,
- 3:15:37run back Armin Seruki and Charles Olivera too, obviously,
- 3:15:40because we have UFC Freedom 250, Geichi Taporia for the
- 3:15:43lightweight title fight. Have those two fight in the
- 3:15:46title eliminator, have the winner, and if we could line
- 3:15:49this up perfectly because I know Dan has talked about it, maybe
- 3:15:51we'll get one more fight on the UFC White House card.
- 3:15:54If not, have that fight be in July and you could hopefully
- 3:15:57line up the winner of those two fights at the end of the year,
- 3:15:59maybe November, December in New York City at Madison Square
- 3:16:02Garden. I think that would be sweet.
- 3:16:04But I mean, yeah. And look, for Max Holloway, it
- 3:16:07was just, I think it was a rough performance for him.
- 3:16:08He's just going to have to get back in the gym and work on his
- 3:16:11grappling and wrestling. I mean, like, look, he went
- 3:16:13against probably the greatest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as fighter
- 3:16:16of all time. So it's it's tough ask.
- 3:16:18But yeah, I mean, it was just unfortunate because he kind of
- 3:16:20looked just helpless out. There he looked old.
- 3:16:22He looked old and he throws great combinations.
- 3:16:25He did. He a couple of combinations that
- 3:16:26he was throwing. You could see that he is the
- 3:16:28best, better boxer, better stand up fighter.
- 3:16:30But you knew what Oliveira was going to do.
- 3:16:32You knew what he was going to how he was he's going to
- 3:16:35dominate you, especially if he got you against the the gate
- 3:16:37and, and, and, and, and he did. He just completely dominated the
- 3:16:40fight and it wasn't even hard when it's he once he blocked his
- 3:16:44arms around him, it Max Holloway had no answer to him and only
- 3:16:49had an answer in the fifth round when he got up for the first
- 3:16:51time. It was really, it was just bad.
- 3:16:54It was just it made him look old.
- 3:16:56Now I do I think Max Holloway will fight again.
- 3:16:58Yes. He says he wants to come back
- 3:17:00and, and again, Max Holloway is a fan favorite, but he can't
- 3:17:04fight like that again. He can't go against the guy that
- 3:17:06is probably just a better ground fighter than you are.
- 3:17:09And maybe maybe it's matchups, maybe just Oliveira is a bad
- 3:17:13matchup for him. But I do not want to see Charles
- 3:17:15Oliveira, Oliveira and Max Holloway again.
- 3:17:18I don't want to see it. Yeah, honestly, it's kind of
- 3:17:21seems like a similar situation with we got with Makachev and
- 3:17:24Volkanovsky where just one bad performance and you're probably
- 3:17:27never going to see that fight again.
- 3:17:28Like unless Max create like goes crazy and nuts in his training
- 3:17:32camp. And if Oliveira is to become the
- 3:17:34champion again someday and Max ends up getting another chance
- 3:17:36at it, he's going to have to do a lot of a lot of stuff and a
- 3:17:39lot, a lot of hard work to get back to that.
- 3:17:41Because like, like you said, like it's not a really not a
- 3:17:44fight. We don't need to see that again.
- 3:17:45But let me ask you firstly for me, let me ask you a questions.
- 3:17:48I wanted to go. I wanted to cut you off because
- 3:17:50I wanted to ask you a question about this.
- 3:17:52There's Rosa kid now I think Dana White is yeah, yeah.
- 3:18:01This guy, when he got he, when he came into the UFC, he's the
- 3:18:04youngest UFC fighter. And this guy, he's been force
- 3:18:08fed by Dana White. He's force feeding this guy.
- 3:18:12And and yeah, this was a this was he fought a man and it was a
- 3:18:15great, I mean, he completely dominated him in Rob font.
- 3:18:19But this this guy, and I'm I'm just saying he's one of the
- 3:18:24ugliest guys. First of all, ugly, really,
- 3:18:27really ugly guy. And I understand he's a young
- 3:18:29guy and they want him to be a young superstar, but he's not a
- 3:18:33fighter that I want to watch. He he doesn't have any stand up
- 3:18:36game. He's not a good stand up
- 3:18:38fighter. He really isn't.
- 3:18:39He's he's a ground guy. He's a great ground fighter.
- 3:18:43He's a Mexican kid who likes to take you down and likes to
- 3:18:46ground and pound you. But stand up.
- 3:18:48He has no stand up talent whatsoever and he took font down
- 3:18:52maliciously the whole fight. I think he took him down 17
- 3:18:55times or something like that. And, and it's just a complete
- 3:18:58mismatch because I think that Dana wife fed him this guy
- 3:19:03because he wants this guy to get in the winning ways because he
- 3:19:05wants to give him a title shot. Yeah, I I think you're
- 3:19:08definitely right. I mean, they they obviously
- 3:19:10want, I think the UFC, they're two big markets they're trying
- 3:19:12to target. They've talked about the Chinese
- 3:19:13market and well as the Mexican market.
- 3:19:15So they definitely would love to have his big Mexican superstar.
- 3:19:18And you know, Raul Rojas Junior, like despite his looks, he is an
- 3:19:21excellent fighter, great wrestler.
- 3:19:23I know you said like he doesn't have much of a stand up game,
- 3:19:25but he's like you said, he was the youngest signing in UFC
- 3:19:27history at the time. So he's got plenty of time to
- 3:19:30develop that. And like he has to, you're like
- 3:19:32you said, he probably has been force fed easy opponents just to
- 3:19:35build up his. I mean, I believe he's now 11
- 3:19:37and one or 12 and one only having the one loss he suffered.
- 3:19:40But yeah, he's he's pretty much dominated everyone, he said, and
- 3:19:43I think he knows that himself. That's why he tried to call out
- 3:19:45someone in the top 10, which would be great.
- 3:19:47You know, I think Rob Font was 13 or 14 in the rankings.
- 3:19:50But again, he he made quick work of them.
- 3:19:53Like he just dominated him the whole fight.
- 3:19:54So it was a good it was a good fight for good performance by
- 3:19:57Raul Rojas Junior. Personally, I would say give him
- 3:20:00someone in the top ten, maybe like a Mario Bautista or a Davis
- 3:20:03and Figueredo. Just some guys who could put
- 3:20:05some, you know, hands on him and strike and make him you know.
- 3:20:07Wary to try to shoot in for takedowns and maybe have to work
- 3:20:10on his game a little bit. But I think you're right, they
- 3:20:13definitely are trying to build him up and they've given him
- 3:20:15some, some softballs here and that's.
- 3:20:17What I hate about the UFC and Rojas is he's a good kid and
- 3:20:21he's fun to watch when it comes to ground fighting.
- 3:20:23He's a Brazilian Jiu jitsu artist, He's a black belt.
- 3:20:25He's fun to watch. But I to me, I want to see what
- 3:20:29his stand up game put him against the guy that's going to
- 3:20:31stand up with him and see what he can do against them.
- 3:20:33Font, he's just to me, he was hand fed.
- 3:20:36He was like, OK, go beat the hell out of this guy.
- 3:20:38Go take this guy down. Fight against somebody that is
- 3:20:41going to compete against you, is going to be able to sprawl
- 3:20:43against you and is going to be able to challenge you on your
- 3:20:46feet. Because to me, when Rojas fights
- 3:20:48a guy that is going to be just as good or even better than him
- 3:20:53and he's a man is going to kick the crap out of this kid and I'm
- 3:20:56sorry. Dana can say whatever he wants
- 3:20:58and he can sell me whatever he wants to sell me.
- 3:21:00This isn't good for mixed martial arts.
- 3:21:03This isn't good for the UFC and Kayo Kai.
- 3:21:05All right, I pronounce pronounce his name Kaiyo.
- 3:21:10This guy going into the fight against Dee Ritter.
- 3:21:12Dee Ritter is coming back from an injury.
- 3:21:15They didn't even know if he was going to be able to come back
- 3:21:16because he had a some blood problem and De Ritter is a good
- 3:21:21ground fighter. The problem with this card is
- 3:21:24you have too many ground fighters.
- 3:21:26All these guys are specialists on the ground.
- 3:21:28Rojas D Ritter. I want to see guys that are
- 3:21:31going to bash their heads in. All these guys, even the
- 3:21:33Oliveira, he's a ground fighter. Yes, he can stand up.
- 3:21:36He's a great stand up fighter as well.
- 3:21:38I'm not saying that Oliveira can't stand up with anybody, but
- 3:21:40he's going to take you down 90% of the time if he knows you have
- 3:21:44no ground game. Max Holloway, even though
- 3:21:46everybody says he's good on the ground and he was good defending
- 3:21:49certain things and he didn't tap out.
- 3:21:51Max Holloway to me is not what you call a guy that I want to
- 3:21:55see against Charles Olivara. I want to see these guys.
- 3:21:57I want to see the matchups. I want to see the dominant force
- 3:22:00and and see what these guys, if you put them against an opponent
- 3:22:04that is not is a mismatch to these guys, how these fights are
- 3:22:07going to turn up for for a fight of the night, because honestly,
- 3:22:10there was no fight of the night fight of the.
- 3:22:12Night Yeah. Well, I think coming into the
- 3:22:13fight, a lot of people did think because Oliver, even though,
- 3:22:16again, it was, like you said over 10 years ago, the early
- 3:22:19fight they had in 2015, and they're both very different
- 3:22:21fighters from that point then. And you know, big thing with
- 3:22:23Charles Olivera, everyone always said he had adversity.
- 3:22:25He faced adversity and he would quit.
- 3:22:27And I think a lot of people would thought that, you know,
- 3:22:29maybe Max would have that little bit of a mental, even though
- 3:22:31again, it was a long time ago, a little bit of a mental edge on
- 3:22:33him. But they are both completely
- 3:22:35both different fighters at that point in their careers.
- 3:22:37You know, Max had become the, you know, featherweight champion
- 3:22:40now. He had moved up to 155 and he'd
- 3:22:41been, you know, taking on Justin Gaichi and Dustin Pourier and
- 3:22:44he'd be growing through these great fighters in the in the
- 3:22:47lightweight division. And then Olivera had completely
- 3:22:49built himself back up to be a two time lightweight champion.
- 3:22:52And I personally, me, I thought that old Holloway was going to
- 3:22:56have a little bit of an edge because I thought he was going
- 3:22:58to stick and move kind of how he was going with Elia Tapuria
- 3:23:01before he got dropped. Stay away from Olivera.
- 3:23:04Let him come to him and, you know, put volume on him and
- 3:23:07stick and move. But Olivera just blitzed him
- 3:23:09right away. And and you know, as soon as he
- 3:23:11put him in the body triangle, you know, Max, all he could do
- 3:23:13was really just defend himself because he had no is similar to
- 3:23:17JDM and Islam and Hamza Shamayev and DDP.
- 3:23:21You know, just as soon as the grappler took him down, the
- 3:23:23striker just they, there was no answer to get up.
- 3:23:25And it was unfortunate because he was just gassed the whole
- 3:23:28time. And similar to what you were
- 3:23:29saying with RDR and Kyle Bajalo, like it seemed like after round
- 3:23:33one, like I know that RDR there's definitely probably some
- 3:23:36ring rust. He'd been off for a while after
- 3:23:38the the lost different. Punch just like a girl.
- 3:23:40By the way, I mean he. Was yeah, he was.
- 3:23:43I mean, yeah, he's definitely a. He almost kind of reminds me of
- 3:23:46DDP where it's his striking. It's just awkward.
- 3:23:49It just doesn't look fluid and it's like the the punches don't
- 3:23:52have as much like power behind him.
- 3:23:54And then Kyo, I was a little disappointed with him too,
- 3:23:56because I thought he was going to either.
- 3:23:58He was such a big favor, though. He was going to show out, try to
- 3:24:00get him. He's trying to rise back up the.
- 3:24:02Right, dropping his hands, man dropping.
- 3:24:04His hands, yeah, he was fighting very dangerously, but I almost
- 3:24:06wonder if it was just from exhaustion because by round
- 3:24:09three both of them look gas and like they didn't even want him
- 3:24:11in there. They're very disappointing.
- 3:24:12Like I was hoping for a great fight, but it was kind of just
- 3:24:15seemed like both guys were cool coasting out the rounds.
- 3:24:18I want to get into this John Jones situation and the UFC
- 3:24:24White House, you know, the fight, everybody thought this
- 3:24:26was going to be the, the, the, the card of the century.
- 3:24:30And the main event will be the lightweight championship, Ilya
- 3:24:34Taporia versus Justin Gagee. Alex Pereira is going to fight
- 3:24:38Gan Gani and and Sean O'Malley is going to fight Zahibi.
- 3:24:45And and I'm looking at I'm looking at this card.
- 3:24:48This card is not really that good.
- 3:24:50I mean, Diego Lopez, I, you would have thought that Dana
- 3:24:54White was going to put something together that's going to remind
- 3:24:57us like an Alex Pori Pori era, Pori era versus like a Jon
- 3:25:02Jones. So Jon Jones came out, he
- 3:25:04attacked, he attacked the UFC and said this after Dana White
- 3:25:09came back at him. He said I understand business
- 3:25:11deals fall through sometimes, but going out publicly and
- 3:25:15saying things that aren't you isn't right, Jon Jones said.
- 3:25:19After everything I've given to the UFC, the years, the title
- 3:25:23defenses, the fights, hearing that I'm done is disappointing,
- 3:25:27especially when as recently as Friday, UFC was calling me,
- 3:25:33trying to get me on the White House card for much lower
- 3:25:38number. So for some reason, something
- 3:25:42happened and, and I think Jon Jones wanted more money than
- 3:25:47Dana White wanted to give him. And, and, and here's the problem
- 3:25:50with the UFC, Dana White and, and I got to give Jake Paul a
- 3:25:53lot of credit because I, I know there's somebody coming back in
- 3:25:58Ronda Rousey and she wanted to fight back in the UFC.
- 3:26:03She reached out to Dana White because Dana White was the one
- 3:26:06that kind of told her to retire because of the concussion
- 3:26:08problem she had. And she had this thing set up
- 3:26:12and she decided to fight on, on Jake Paul's card because Jake
- 3:26:18Paul was going to offer her more money, more guaranteed money.
- 3:26:22And Dana White for some reason over the last couple of years in
- 3:26:25ownership over there has really stinged these fighters
- 3:26:29significant portion of money. John Jones, I'll say this about
- 3:26:32John Jones. He's not afraid to go out in
- 3:26:35public in and blast anybody, including Dana White, who has
- 3:26:38been everything to him when it comes to his pockets.
- 3:26:41It's really saving his career because John Jones should have
- 3:26:44been done with mixed martial arts after all the things that
- 3:26:46he has been caught doing. I mean, he almost killed people
- 3:26:49driving his car, almost killed himself sniffing cocaine, doing
- 3:26:53all this stuff, PEDs. This guy has done everything in
- 3:26:56the UFC has taken him back with flying color.
- 3:26:58So I got to give Dana White a little bit of credit here, but
- 3:27:01but to Dana White, this guy is your best champion, the greatest
- 3:27:05mixed martial artist of all time.
- 3:27:07As you have said many, many times after when people have
- 3:27:11asked you, hey, who's the greatest UFC fighter of all
- 3:27:13time? And you have said multiple
- 3:27:15times, it's Jon Jones. And this guy wanted to find at
- 3:27:19fight Alex Pereira on the White House card to fight in front of
- 3:27:24all the fans, in front of the president of United States on
- 3:27:28the greatest card ever assembled.
- 3:27:30And you picked gone. That's what you picked to fight
- 3:27:34Pereira. I mean, to me, I, I think it's
- 3:27:37disappointing. I think this card card is
- 3:27:39disappointing. I think it's a lack of really
- 3:27:42understanding of what you are as a, a promoter, as a president of
- 3:27:46an organization that you helped build.
- 3:27:48I think it's pathetic. And I, I honestly think that
- 3:27:51this card, you look at the card that was last year of when it
- 3:27:56came to Christmas time and even the card before Christmas, those
- 3:28:00cards are better than this card where everybody when, when Dana
- 3:28:03White came out and said this is going to be the greatest card
- 3:28:06ever assembled in UFC history. Pathetic.
- 3:28:09Yeah, so I mean, obviously, you know, there's the whole
- 3:28:11situation with Jon Jones. I think it's kind of just
- 3:28:14turning into a he said, she said between Dana and John.
- 3:28:16Like, I I agree with you, Errol, that like, look, if you had the
- 3:28:19opportunity to get John, I mean, I'm personally a little bit more
- 3:28:22biased to it. I think the disrespect being
- 3:28:24shown to Tom Aspen all was, you know, completely wrong.
- 3:28:27But if they had gotten Jon Jones against Pereira, I would be down
- 3:28:30for that. And then the winner could then
- 3:28:31fight Tom Aspen for the undisputed title.
- 3:28:33I think had they had had their way, if Tom Aspinall had not
- 3:28:37gotten injured by Cyril gone, which by the way, it you'd say
- 3:28:40that is kind of weird to then reward him with another title
- 3:28:42shot after he was the one who almost blinded Tom Aspinall,
- 3:28:45which is just crazy. But then again, that shows you
- 3:28:47how bad the heavyweight division is that we have to keep relying
- 3:28:49on Jon Jones because other than Tom Aspinall, there's no real
- 3:28:52contenders. I mean, Pereira has moved up now
- 3:28:54to go for a third title and which is unbelievable and would
- 3:28:57be a amazing accomplishment. He'd be the first ever three
- 3:29:00division champion. But if you have to bring up a
- 3:29:02guy from light heavyweight to do that, which I mean that's even
- 3:29:05where John Jones got started. His name, he wasn't a
- 3:29:07heavyweight, he was a light heavyweight and he moved on up
- 3:29:09because the divisions just. Actually, he was a middle
- 3:29:11weight. Actually, he was a middle
- 3:29:12weight. Oh yeah, then even more.
- 3:29:14But I mean, it just shows you how like lackluster and how
- 3:29:17talentless the division is. There's just no one there to
- 3:29:19fight. And like, look, the whole
- 3:29:22situation with Jon Jones, I think Dana, the main reason he's
- 3:29:25just never refused said he said like there's no chance he
- 3:29:28wouldn't even have been even considered him on the card.
- 3:29:31I think he still feels kind of burned about the Tom Asmol
- 3:29:33situation where originally it was he didn't want to fight him
- 3:29:36because of the whole he was younger than me thing.
- 3:29:38Then it was, oh, I want 30 million.
- 3:29:40And then they supposedly got him the number.
- 3:29:42Then he said I want to fight Steve Miocic, and they gave him
- 3:29:44that. And I think Dana just kind of
- 3:29:46feels like a scorned X at this point where he's like, well, you
- 3:29:49know, you screwed me over, so I ain't going to give you a chance
- 3:29:51of this at all. And you know, I think, like you
- 3:29:55said, I don't think this card is necessarily bad.
- 3:29:57It's just the expectations that were put on this card has been
- 3:30:01built up by us. I mean, we've been thinking
- 3:30:03about it for about a year now. And again, I I mean, like I
- 3:30:06said, Justin Gage, he's my favorite fighter.
- 3:30:07I'm happy he's fighting in the main event against Iliad
- 3:30:09Zaporia, You know, Pereira versus gone should be a good
- 3:30:12fight. But you know, of course we would
- 3:30:14have loved to have Jon Jones or Tom Aspinall on that card.
- 3:30:17And you know, the whole Conor McGregor situation, whether how
- 3:30:20you feel about him or not, I think the entire world was kind
- 3:30:23of expecting us to get a Conor McGregor fight.
- 3:30:26I mean, hell, Michael Chandler's on the card.
- 3:30:28You literally could have done it, but we got Chandler.
- 3:30:30There's Michael Chandler on this card.
- 3:30:32I mean, come on. And and Lopez.
- 3:30:35Lopez has lost back-to-back fights against Falconowski.
- 3:30:38Why is he on this card? They did make some interesting,
- 3:30:40I think for one, interesting absolutely politically I'm
- 3:30:44political thing in the sense that it doesn't really make
- 3:30:46sense. That's political.
- 3:30:48It's like Sean O'Malley I think is great, but I think it should
- 3:30:51have been him versus Corey Sanhagan, The fact that's Amin's
- 3:30:54hobby. You know why Sean O'malley's on
- 3:30:56the card? Because that's Donald Trump's
- 3:30:57favorite fighter. That's.
- 3:30:59That's true. No, his favorite fighter is
- 3:31:00Derek Lewis. But I mean, we don't even see
- 3:31:02Derek. Lewis, but O'Malley is one of
- 3:31:03his favorite fighters. Yeah, but like again, Michael
- 3:31:07Chandler without Conor McGregor, like it's a because, I mean,
- 3:31:10Chandler hasn't won a fight since he beat Tony Ferguson.
- 3:31:13I mean, it's I don't know. It's.
- 3:31:15How is he on this card? I mean, and Lopez has lost
- 3:31:18back-to-back fights against. Yeah, I mean, Diego Lopez is a
- 3:31:21great fighter, yeah, but it's again, it's like you
- 3:31:24back-to-back losses against. Why isn't Volkanowski on this
- 3:31:27card defending his title? Yeah, Lopez.
- 3:31:31Yeah, it. Might be too quick of a turn
- 3:31:33around. Why?
- 3:31:34He never got hurt. He kicked the crap out of Lopez.
- 3:31:37He had not one scratch. Yeah.
- 3:31:38I think the reason that they're waiting for it though is because
- 3:31:41in two weeks we have Laurent Murphy versus Mavsar EV11 that
- 3:31:44probably will be the winner or the the next contender for
- 3:31:47Volcanovsky. And and depending on how the
- 3:31:49much they beat the crap out of each other, it might be not
- 3:31:51quite a quick of a turn. Around none of them are beating
- 3:31:53him anyways. I don't think so.
- 3:31:55Well, yeah, but I don't know. I mean, again, it's a it's a
- 3:31:58strange situation. I don't think it's a horrible
- 3:32:01car, but in terms of our expectations, like it does feel
- 3:32:04like a little bit of a let down, especially when you do see some
- 3:32:07of the matches like again, the main event, stellar Co main
- 3:32:09event, I think it'll be great. But the the middle and then the
- 3:32:12beginning of the of the car. I mean now again.
- 3:32:14Hazed us. They hazed us.
- 3:32:17That's what they did. They hazed us.
- 3:32:19And I'm sorry, Dana and I listen, I, I respect Dana White
- 3:32:23and what he's done for the UFC and mixed martial arts and
- 3:32:26combat sports. He's done a great job on
- 3:32:28building this into a just a fan favorite sport.
- 3:32:31But to to talk about this over the last past year and a half,
- 3:32:35saying this is going to be the greatest card the UFC is ever
- 3:32:38assembled. We thought maybe Conor McGregor
- 3:32:40on the card, maybe a Nate Diaz coming back and fighting Connor
- 3:32:44for three. That would have been great.
- 3:32:46Volkanowski and somebody else and Ilya's coming back to fight
- 3:32:50Gagey. That's.
- 3:32:51Whatever it is not Makashev either.
- 3:32:53I mean, they were talking about that.
- 3:32:54I've heard there was a rumor that it was supposed to be to
- 3:32:57Poria Makashev for the welterweight titles.
- 3:32:59That would have been Ilya going for three belts, which would
- 3:33:01have been great. But again, it's all rumors.
- 3:33:03No one really knows. But again, yeah, it's like they
- 3:33:06did kind of tease us a little bit and it was.
- 3:33:09It's a good card, but it's not the cream of the crop we were
- 3:33:12kind of hoping. For I bet you Christmastime this
- 3:33:15coming year is going to be better than this car.
- 3:33:16Everybody says this is going to be the court of the year.
- 3:33:19Yeah. Yeah, I mean, because then
- 3:33:21again, there won't be as much of a year and a half of hype going.
- 3:33:24Into it. And, and by the way, for
- 3:33:25everybody to know to get tickets to go and watch this at the
- 3:33:28White House, it's going to be ridiculous.
- 3:33:32I think as a fan, they have, like they said, they've had like
- 3:33:34a, they have like a sideline spot where it's almost a
- 3:33:36projector. I don't even think you can get
- 3:33:38seats. You must have to be like a VIP
- 3:33:40or inclusive invite. You're not even going to get to
- 3:33:43go. So it's kind of a let down.
- 3:33:44Like you don't even get to watch the event from the White House
- 3:33:47long. Like, I get it with all the
- 3:33:48clearances and all the background checks they're going
- 3:33:50to have to do on people who will be allowed, but that is kind of
- 3:33:53a let down. Like you said, Oh my God, I
- 3:33:54don't even want to know how it's going to be to get to watch the
- 3:33:56projector view. It's going to be madness.
- 3:33:58Anyways, Jake, we love you man. Good work.
- 3:34:01We got to do something, me and you.
- 3:34:03I I'm working on so many things and jumping on so many podcasts
- 3:34:07it's crazy. I'm a busy guy, but I think you
- 3:34:10would be great talking mixed martial arts and maybe me and
- 3:34:13you doing something maybe once or all the pay per views.
- 3:34:17All the pay per views. We do a show for caged and MMA
- 3:34:20and just strictly go through the matches and and do our takes.
- 3:34:23I think and and create like a podcast once a month.
- 3:34:27If you're interested in doing that, maybe maybe we should do
- 3:34:29something like that. I think it'll be fun.
- 3:34:31Yeah, I think that'd be great. That'd be awesome.
- 3:34:34Well, I'll talk to Fish. Maybe I'll have Fish reach out
- 3:34:36to you. We'll talk.
- 3:34:37I think it's a good idea. I think it'd be great for us
- 3:34:39and, and we create like a YouTube channel for it for all
- 3:34:42the UFC fans to kind of check us out and and check out our takes
- 3:34:46and I think it'll be great. When's the next UFC fights?
- 3:34:50Big numbered fights March. April No.
- 3:34:53No. Oh, it's April.
- 3:34:54April. April. 11th April 11th April.
- 3:34:56UFC 327. So the headline is Yuri Prohaska
- 3:35:00against Carlos Olberg for the vacant light heavyweight title
- 3:35:03and then event Joshua Van versus Tatsu or Tyra for.
- 3:35:06The for the. Championship, yeah.
- 3:35:08It's it's that should be a very good car.
- 3:35:10It should be very interesting. A lot of good undercard fights
- 3:35:13so I'm looking. Forward to Joshua.
- 3:35:14Van is one of my favorite fighters.
- 3:35:15I know he shouldn't have won the title the way he did, but
- 3:35:18Joshua? Yeah, well, but I think he will
- 3:35:20be a good, this will be a great fight, a good chance for him to
- 3:35:22prove himself with that medal and then it'll hype you up for
- 3:35:25bringing back Pantoja. That'll be a great, great thing
- 3:35:28to look forward to. 100% Jake. Let's talk, man.
- 3:35:32Yeah. All right.
- 3:35:32Thank you, fellas. Appreciate it.
- 3:35:33There it is. We had Jake add to it a great,
- 3:35:37great segment for UFC. If you're a UFC fan.
- 3:35:40He gave you his take. I gave you my take.
- 3:35:42Oliveira, Max Holloway cannot happen again.
- 3:35:45They got to keep that away. And if they can't find somebody,
- 3:35:47they don't find fighters that can fight for that BMF title.
- 3:35:50I want to see these guys beat the hell out of each other.
- 3:35:51That's that's the whole point of the title.
- 3:35:53Not ground and pound and hold somebody down in a body lock and
- 3:35:57use your hip or use your chin to try to knock him out.
- 3:36:00I mean, it was no offense, and I like Charles Oliveira.
- 3:36:03I just think it was Oliveira just outclassed Max Holloway in
- 3:36:08every kind of way, all right? Before we move on because
- 3:36:10somebody's waiting to call all. Right, let's get him on Kenny.
- 3:36:13Let's hear him. Hey, hey.
- 3:36:17What's up kid? What's up, kid?
- 3:36:19No, it's not fish. This is me.
- 3:36:22He's a kid I. Know, but I see him.
- 3:36:24I'm watching it. Well, fish, Fish went back.
- 3:36:27The sound off. No, the sound.
- 3:36:29We hear you, Kenny. What's going on?
- 3:36:32Is the geese getting you a little roused?
- 3:36:34What's going on? Did you check?
- 3:36:38Did you enjoy my Blush interview on your network and mine?
- 3:36:41Yes, I was blushing. Well, let me ask you a question,
- 3:36:47man. When you set up an interview and
- 3:36:51all that other stuff and you get these guys on your show, how do
- 3:36:55you present them to come on your show?
- 3:36:58Is this This is the Kenny Rainer show and I am?
- 3:37:00E-mail, I just ask. I just ask and just.
- 3:37:05Like he just like he tastes himself.
- 3:37:08Yeah, just taste. Himself taste the geese, Kenny.
- 3:37:10It's. A.
- 3:37:12Lot of hot ladies, man. I interviewed the pie tasters
- 3:37:15recently. They're not really in the sports
- 3:37:17pie tastes. They're in the sky and all that.
- 3:37:21So it was a before show and my battery's running down so it
- 3:37:25wasn't going to be more than 12 minutes anyways.
- 3:37:29How about actually, how about any?
- 3:37:31Did you ever had any poo Tang pie?
- 3:37:34Oh, share a poo Tang pie with the rock.
- 3:37:35Have you ever had any poo Tang pie man?
- 3:37:39What's that? You never had poo Tang pie?
- 3:37:42Nobody knows except Errol. Come on man, you don't know what
- 3:37:45poo Tang pie is. No, that's kind of like snipe
- 3:37:52hunting. Snipe.
- 3:37:54Oh, is that your next mission after chasing geese?
- 3:37:57Those not do. You chase squirrels.
- 3:37:59Do you find a nut? Do you let the squirrels find a
- 3:38:01nut? Oh, no, no.
- 3:38:05But then you promised me Cabrera, right?
- 3:38:07Well, Cabrera. Oswaldo Cabrera.
- 3:38:10Oswaldo Cabrera That's right. I did offer you.
- 3:38:13I do owe you a bet. So I got to introduce you to You
- 3:38:17wanted a Yankee, right? Right, right.
- 3:38:19It doesn't have to be him. Any Yankee that currently is
- 3:38:22playing, OK, it's doesn't. It's not going to be judged
- 3:38:25because he's one of the stars, but anybody else is fine.
- 3:38:28Now let me ask you a question. If I get you a picture and he
- 3:38:30tells you to hold his crotch, would you hold it for me?
- 3:38:33Hold what? His crotch.
- 3:38:36No. You wouldn't hold his crotch.
- 3:38:39No. If Oswaldo pulls out his his nut
- 3:38:42sack, you wouldn't grab it and say yeah, sure, Oswaldo.
- 3:38:46No, I mean, that's going a little far.
- 3:38:48Why? It's kind of like you're sharing
- 3:38:51a friendly, you know, invitation.
- 3:38:54Fight your fight, Kennish. I mean, you're just like AI mean
- 3:38:58you can, you can like it or, you know, just show them some love.
- 3:39:02You know what? Do you think?
- 3:39:06Well, let me ask you a question, Kenny.
- 3:39:07How much did you drink tonight? I.
- 3:39:10Didn't have any. Yeah, nothing.
- 3:39:11How much? How much did you smoke tonight?
- 3:39:13How was your bowl, Kenny? 2. 22 balls man, so.
- 3:39:18Why do you have these questions? I'm just asking you from A from
- 3:39:21a grade from 1:00 to 10:00, what would you grade yourself right
- 3:39:24now in Highness? Maybe 3 something like that.
- 3:39:29Oh, you're a three, so you. You have more balls to smoke.
- 3:39:32Wait A. Second wait a second, wait a
- 3:39:32second, wait a second. You smoked 2 bowls and you're
- 3:39:36only at a three from one to 10. How much do you?
- 3:39:40Smoke. No, I'm saying that I I, I was
- 3:39:44just saying how many bowls that smoked.
- 3:39:47How many bowls you smoked or bowls?
- 3:39:49I don't know how many I'd be on one to 10.
- 3:39:52One to 10. So So what did you smoke?
- 3:39:54Kush What Purple Haze? What were you?
- 3:39:56What were you smoking? I don't know.
- 3:40:00You don't know. So wait a second, wait a second.
- 3:40:02Hold on. Hold on.
- 3:40:03Hold on. Hold on.
- 3:40:05I'm lost, Wandell. Robinson Why did they do?
- 3:40:08Because the Titans paid him 5 million more a year, more than
- 3:40:11anyone else would. How did we go from?
- 3:40:13Wait a second, I'm lost here. I'll think of it this way.
- 3:40:16He actually remembered a curd giant from 2025.
- 3:40:18How do we jump from smoking 2 bowls to Wandell Robinson?
- 3:40:21He made progress. Well, I've listened earlier and
- 3:40:25it kind of bothered me that why would you get rid of your wide
- 3:40:28receiver? They were never going to pay him
- 3:40:30that much Kenny. It was a good move to let him
- 3:40:32go. What would you have paid him,
- 3:40:34Kenny? 6 balls. 7 balls. 8 balls.
- 3:40:38Although I I would have been somewhere before what he got.
- 3:40:42Announced. Maybe a little closer to it.
- 3:40:45How about a nice key? What do you think?
- 3:40:47About it, I'm not people that make decisions and decide how
- 3:40:50much people should get paid as the Joe Shane's of.
- 3:40:53This would you if if you had a chance to meet Joe Shane, would
- 3:40:56you smack him in the ass? I.
- 3:40:59Don't know about that. I mean, I mean, you get a chance
- 3:41:01to smack him in the ass and say I just smacked Joe Shane in the
- 3:41:04ass. What would you think?
- 3:41:07Although I might do another interview on the on the network
- 3:41:16seat if you don't get me the Yankee for open day, I have an
- 3:41:20open day interview that I might get.
- 3:41:22Oh yeah, who's this I can't wait for?
- 3:41:23This season he wrote Fenway Punk.
- 3:41:27Oh, right. All right, so I want you to, I
- 3:41:30want you to ask the. British rivalry.
- 3:41:32I know the Yankees suck stuff. OK, All right, so here's the
- 3:41:36question. I I'm that guy who wrote Fenway
- 3:41:38Park. What's your first question?
- 3:41:42OK, who's the Yankee you hate the most?
- 3:41:46That's your first question. That's my first.
- 3:41:51Question. He's not a fan I.
- 3:41:52Mean that's your first. Errol's answer is Jazz Chisholm.
- 3:41:56How bad do you hate Roger Clemens?
- 3:42:00That's that's dude, you must be smoking a lot of pot, man.
- 3:42:06What's? The.
- 3:42:06First question it is. He's the man that funded a indie
- 3:42:11label on hating the Yankees. That's a question you would want
- 3:42:16to ask. You know what question I want to
- 3:42:18ask. You know what question I want.
- 3:42:19To ask what? Here's a question I'm going to
- 3:42:22ask you before I let you go. You ready?
- 3:42:24You ready for the greatest question of all time?
- 3:42:26Yeah. How much are you holding?
- 3:42:34Not much, maybe a couple grams of hash.
- 3:42:41That's about it. You're smoking hash, huh?
- 3:42:48Oh man, this guy's flying. Like, just stay away from the
- 3:42:51roof. Don't jump off the roof.
- 3:42:53Like like you think that you're smoke coming out of a chimp.
- 3:42:56Lose what? Away a long time ago, man.
- 3:42:59Oh yeah, OK. It wasn't the Wolf of Wall
- 3:43:02Street, the 80s. Yes, it was.
- 3:43:03No, that wasn't the 80s. No, the regular 1st Wall Street
- 3:43:06was the 80's. The Michael Douglas one was the
- 3:43:0880s IF. I think the Wolf of Wall Street
- 3:43:11took place in the 80s. Oh, it took place.
- 3:43:13I'm oh. Well, Kenny, you're a fantastic
- 3:43:16personality. We love you very, very much.
- 3:43:19The 80s was the last time people were doing actual lose.
- 3:43:22Kenny, just one more question here, you know, do you have any
- 3:43:25more questions for me before I ask you my final question before
- 3:43:28I let you go, OK. What?
- 3:43:29When are you going to hook this Yankee interview up?
- 3:43:31I'm going to hook this Yankee. How about this?
- 3:43:34I'm going to hook it up. I'm going to talk to Nathan.
- 3:43:37Once I get Nathan, I'm going to hook it up for you, OK?
- 3:43:41But you got to do something for me.
- 3:43:42You got to do something. For me right now, end of the
- 3:43:44spring or beginning of the year? End of the spring.

- 3:44:09You have to do it. Come on.

- 3:44:56Keep following those geese, man. Keep following those.
- 3:44:58Geese, you have some interesting, strange questions.
- 3:45:01I know I am. I'm a strange person, you know?
- 3:45:04I know that's who you are, not me.
- 3:45:08Well, we love you, Kenny. Keep up.
- 3:45:10I'll see what Chris says Friday evening as book signing and Q&A

- 3:45:17We love you. If it's sports related, even if
- 3:45:21it's music related to, it will be on your network.

- 3:45:26All right, I do my own all. Right.
- 3:45:28All right. You have a song that you want to
- 3:45:30sing for us before we let you go.
- 3:45:31No. All right.
- 3:45:32Well, that's good. And I'm downstairs where my
- 3:45:36books are. So oh so you you need.
- 3:45:38A book to sing, huh? You need a book to sing.
- 3:45:41Very interesting, I'm better following lyrics from a book.

- 3:45:57Are think of someone else all right?
- 3:45:59We love you, Kenny. The old guy that wore robes all
- 3:46:02time. Yeah, Kenny.
- 3:46:04I never heard of a skin flute. All right.
- 3:46:07We love you man. I got it.
- 3:46:10Lost in translation. I'm a little.
- 3:46:13Lost. At least he named a player that
- 3:46:15was on the Giants roster last year.
- 3:46:17Well, that's good. I mean, I remember how many
- 3:46:19years he called up of talking about Eli Manning, and Eli
- 3:46:22Manning wasn't on that roster. I mean, Eli Manning was retired.
- 3:46:25I'd be. An iconic.
- 3:46:27He is an interesting dude. He might have a time machine
- 3:46:30with some of the substances he's mixed over.
- 3:46:33Dudes, when you talk about burnt, that guy is burnt beyond
- 3:46:37burnt. I mean he is like in a whole
- 3:46:40nother world. It's like a seesaw of craziness.
- 3:46:43Anyways, we call this. What's that smell?
- 3:46:45Hold up, what is that smell? What's that?
- 3:46:52Smell. Wow.
- 3:46:55You don't see that every day. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:46:58this is very easy. We're going to tell you a story
- 3:47:00in sports or something, and we're going to tell you what it
- 3:47:04smells like. All right, we're going to go
- 3:47:06with the Speed Star first. Then we're going to go with Mr.
- 3:47:11Fish Poops, then me. Here we go.
- 3:47:14All right, I'll start off with a story the fish kind of hinted at
- 3:47:17in the sports minute, and that was the fact that Paige Shinner
- 3:47:21the the woman that sure on Moore was doing very disgusting things
- 3:47:25to her contract was not renewed by the University of Michigan
- 3:47:29when she was a victim in all this.
- 3:47:31They they got rid of her trying to get rid of that whole scandal
- 3:47:34as it was. Meanwhile, she did nothing wrong
- 3:47:37and she was a victim of all this great disgusting things that
- 3:47:40Sharon Moore was doing and fish you kind of hints at it now.
- 3:47:43She said she possibly going after a lawsuit on Sharon Moore,
- 3:47:47who came up to came up to her house bars into her house and
- 3:47:51then tried to kill herself with with butter knife.
- 3:47:53Yeah, great job sure on Moore and the university won't even
- 3:47:56renew a contract. Hopefully she can get another
- 3:47:58job. But continuing to be a bad look
- 3:47:59and what has been a good, really riveting, gross Michigan saga.
- 3:48:04Kyle Winningham is a good coach, but he's kind of stuck in this
- 3:48:06bad athletic department that continued to bring back Rick
- 3:48:08Pogi and a bunch of others for whatever reason.
- 3:48:10So what does it smell like? We've been bashing him all
- 3:48:13night. How about Michigan alum Tom
- 3:48:14Brady making up making out with Alex Guerrero over a dead
- 3:48:19Wolverine carcass? I don't care.
- 3:48:22Let's not. All right, I didn't expect The
- 3:48:24Wolverine carcass to make an appearance.
- 3:48:26I had to take a shot, but I got one for you.
- 3:48:28I don't think I can. I don't think I'm beating that
- 3:48:30one. But let's go to college
- 3:48:31basketball and Auburn, the Auburn Tigers.
- 3:48:36Errol, you know who their coach is.
- 3:48:38It's not Bruce Pearl because he's retired and he's still
- 3:48:40talking a lot on television. It's his son Steven Pearl.
- 3:48:45And Bruce Pearl came out, they asked him the other day and they
- 3:48:50said and and did I help get my son the job?
- 3:48:53Nepotism, Of course I did. Well, that's OK, I guess.
- 3:48:58People get their kids jobs all the time.
- 3:49:01He's also 16 and 15. They lost another game.
- 3:49:04And when I asked him, should they make the the dance, he
- 3:49:08thought that Auburn, because they beat Florida in Florida
- 3:49:12earlier this year, has a better win than other teams on the
- 3:49:15bubble and that they should make it over lots of teams.
- 3:49:19He made a little bit of headway intimating earlier in the year
- 3:49:22that Miami, OH, if they went undefeated, if they lost one
- 3:49:26game, didn't win their tournament, they shouldn't make
- 3:49:29it. He's kind of.
- 3:49:30Taking. That stance back but Errol Bruce
- 3:49:33Pearl Steven Pearl the Pearl family look I know that pearls
- 3:49:39represented Israel in the Mac begins I just a Jew myself I.
- 3:49:43Got to tell you. The Pearl family All this smells
- 3:49:47like the worst rotten, stinky gefilte fish.
- 3:49:52Make her squirt. Make me jerk.
- 3:49:56Maybe it smells like that after. Thumb up my ass.
- 3:50:04I'm going somewhere. I go quite often as of recently
- 3:50:06to and I'm going here quite often because as I mentioned in
- 3:50:10WWE, the WrestleMania is right around the corner.
- 3:50:14And. This one is going to be going
- 3:50:15out to the most underappreciated the most.
- 3:50:18Undecided. And the never happy fans known
- 3:50:22as the wrestling community take a look at this now.
- 3:50:25For those of you don't know, like I mentioned, WrestleMania
- 3:50:27is around the corner. Cody Rhodes is now set to faces
- 3:50:31long time mentor person that he's looked up to Randy Orton,
- 3:50:36WWE legend. Now The thing is, is fans are
- 3:50:39somewhat somewhat furious if you take a look at this picture two
- 3:50:42years ago when The Rock infamously took Cody Rhodes spot
- 3:50:46against Roman. Reigns in.
- 3:50:47WWE WrestleMania we all had the outrage of We want Cody the
- 3:50:52signs, the people protesting all on Twitter, we want Cody.
- 3:50:57However, now two years later, him inserting himself, removing
- 3:51:00Drew McIntyre who was the reigning WWE Champion in as the
- 3:51:04as the WrestleMania match against big boobs Randy Orton
- 3:51:08for the WWE title. Basically now we're we're
- 3:51:11switching up two years later, no more Cody.
- 3:51:14A lot of these fans just don't know what they want.
- 3:51:17They wanted WWE to put Rock and Roman and WrestleMania.
- 3:51:20They got it. They wanted Cody instead.
- 3:51:23Now we have something that people have been wanting since
- 3:51:26Cody has had the Title 2. Years now go check.
- 3:51:28Your in the sense of Cody Rhodes versus his mentor Randy Orton.
- 3:51:32But now people are just undecisive.
- 3:51:33I agree with some fans. I think Drew should definitely
- 3:51:36be deserving of going into WWE with the championship title, but
- 3:51:40let's be honest, better than anybody could have predicted or
- 3:51:43would you in that matchup than anybody this Dabbery predicted.
- 3:51:47So basically, I don't know how people are so offended.
- 3:51:51It's like I. Said this is a match that
- 3:51:52everybody. 'S wanted for the last couple
- 3:51:53years, so if you don't like. You go, I need a blow pop.
- 3:51:57Or if anything, you can. Also you can.
- 3:51:59It's going to smell like the smelliest part of the thong of
- 3:52:03known. Scoop sits on the sugar.
- 3:52:04Biggest ass of rikishi after a Mexican.
- 3:52:07Cream pie, blowjob all. Right, great.
- 3:52:11Ladies and gentlemen, I guess you know, WWE is not where we're
- 3:52:17going on this one. That's for sure.
- 3:52:19All right, so we, we went into this a little bit earlier, but
- 3:52:22I, I had to bring it up again to A tag of Viola assigned A1 year
- 3:52:28deal with the Falcons, which is very, very interesting because
- 3:52:31I, I, you know, this is Matt Ryan's first move as the
- 3:52:35president of the Atlanta Falcons.
- 3:52:38Former Miami Dolphins quarterback to attack Evola
- 3:52:40plans to sign a one year deal with the Atlanta Falcons,
- 3:52:43sources say to Adam Scheffner. The move now will give the
- 3:52:47Falcons 2 left-handed quarterbacks left-handed ladies
- 3:52:52and gentlemen. What happened to the right hand?
- 3:52:55Who knows? Taga Taga Viola and Michael
- 3:52:59Pennix junior heading into 2026 season to what?
- 3:53:02Taga Viola was informed on Monday that he was released by
- 3:53:07the Dolphins. The Falcons enter the offseason
- 3:53:10in a market for a quarterback, with Michael Pennix recovering
- 3:53:14from a knee injury and Kirk Cousins set to be released this
- 3:53:18Wednesday. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this
- 3:53:22is an interesting story. You know why it's an interesting
- 3:53:24story? Because I remember a couple of
- 3:53:28months ago, actually a month ago, when, yes, a guy named Matt
- 3:53:33Ryan went out there and spoke to the fans, spoke loudly to the
- 3:53:37fans that I don't know who my quarterback is and I am not
- 3:53:41going to plan that Michael Pennix is in my future.
- 3:53:45And then, ladies and gentlemen, he does one of the most
- 3:53:49ridiculously, ridiculously stupid things we've ever seen a
- 3:53:53president do. He brings in a quarterback that
- 3:53:56got paid almost $100 million, who has done nothing for a Miami
- 3:54:00organization that overused him and misused him, but thought
- 3:54:05that he was that kind of quarterback to overpay him.
- 3:54:08And what does that smell like? It smells like Matt Ryan is
- 3:54:13going to lose his job a lot sooner than later.
- 3:54:16He's not going to be with that organization that long.
- 3:54:18Because once Arthur Blank realizes that Matt Ryan doesn't
- 3:54:23know what he's doing, he's going to fire him.
- 3:54:26And I already believe he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
- 3:54:30I, there's no sense of any imagination.
- 3:54:33You bring in a quarterback that is less of the quarterback you
- 3:54:38have on your roster. And Michael Pennix.
- 3:54:40And you even came out and said that you don't believe you
- 3:54:43unsure if Michael Pennix is the quarterback of the future for
- 3:54:47this organization. Real smart, real stupid.
- 3:54:51And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my what's that smell?
- 3:54:55I, I, I, I do not get my Ryan. I, I really don't.
- 3:55:00I would love to get Matt Ryan on the show because I would love to
- 3:55:03ask him this question. Out of all the quarterbacks you
- 3:55:06could have brought in free agency to force Michael Panics
- 3:55:10to play harder, you bring in two Attack of Iola.
- 3:55:14I mean, it makes no sense. None of it does.
- 3:55:18And that was his move of the day, guys.
- 3:55:20That was his move. That was the slam dunk move that
- 3:55:24Matt Ryan made. I had to bring it up because I
- 3:55:27didn't really get much into it, but that that's got to be one of
- 3:55:30the dumbest president moves. Everybody keeps talking about
- 3:55:33how stupid ownership is. Arthur Blank is that dumb?
- 3:55:37Hiring Matt Ryan, Maddie Ice as his president of operations
- 3:55:42because to attack a Viola would be on my last list of
- 3:55:47quarterbacks I bring in when you have a better version of Tua on
- 3:55:51your roster. So makes no sense.
- 3:55:54Anyways, yeah, I had to add that it really pathetic.
- 3:55:58By the way, thank you to the owner of Roughshod Supply
- 3:56:03Company and MLB content creator Jake Savicki for joining us.
- 3:56:06He was sensational, Jake, We love you.
- 3:56:08Me and him always go back and forth when we when he comes on
- 3:56:11the show and he's a Dodger guy. I'm a Yankee guy, so interesting
- 3:56:15and and who would have thought that he was a Derek Jeter fan,
- 3:56:18but I hated Derek Jeter. He loves Derek Jeter.
- 3:56:22I mean, we're the opposites. We would have a great show,
- 3:56:25ladies and gentlemen, as we all believe that Nathan is.
- 3:56:28You want my cream pie or suck my indoor or Drobo smack my ass.
- 3:56:32Or. Circle jerk.
- 3:56:34Somebody's got a circle jerk him tonight.
- 3:56:37Maybe Nathan is out and about doing, you know, the nasty.
- 3:56:40I don't know. Why do we hook Kenny up with
- 3:56:43Nathan? That's.
- 3:56:44What I said in the private Tetris.
- 3:56:45Now, if Kenny had Nathan's leash, would he be able to catch
- 3:56:49the same amount of geese? I would say I would say this.
- 3:56:52My rear end is burning. His rear end will be burning
- 3:56:56after he meets Kenny because Kenny might be running after his
- 3:56:59geese, if you know what I mean. Anyways, yeah, thank you, Kenny,
- 3:57:03for joining us. And yes, Kenny, don't worry.
- 3:57:05I got you, man. I got you.
- 3:57:07Blowjob. Somebody's got to give him that
- 3:57:10anyways, yeah, thank you to all the fans on Spotify and Apple,
- 3:57:13Spotify and Apple video and audio 16,000 downloads last
- 3:57:17night. It was a sensational.

- 3:58:14satisfy you. No, nothing.
- 3:58:16Nothing satisfies you. Something electric.
- 3:58:20What satisfies you? Food.
- 3:58:24What kind of food? I don't know, depends on what

- 3:59:14Lost in translation. How about fish?
- 3:59:16Would you squeeze his cheeks? Why?
- 3:59:19What's wrong with his cheeks? Nothing's wrong with any of his
- 3:59:21body parts but his cheeks. I'm not touching them all right?
- 3:59:25You slap them. I'm not touching them.
- 3:59:27How about want Soto if he fun ass naked in the bathroom
- 3:59:31getting out of the shower, would you grab his cheeks?
- 3:59:33No, why not? Because I'm not Mickey.
- 3:59:35Callaway. So I think you'd think his
