  Speaker 1: All right, I have two segments here, two windows. as
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: we like to say, to take phone calls. This one,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and coming up at 345. 877-99 on Fox. Your thoughts
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: from a tremendous football weekend, both on Saturday and Sunday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: The NFL was ridiculous yesterday.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But we have about 12 minutes here to take some
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: phone calls.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox. That is 877-99 on Fox.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Have a fun show for you. No Taylor, no Mikey A.,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Just me and you. I have crawled through a river
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of podcasts. God bless football, college football with Stugatz and Baer. And,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of course, Stugatz and Company, the show we do before
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the show. But we do have Frank Caliendo coming up
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: in about 20 minutes. Looking forward to that. We'll talk
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: about the Madden movie that he's not in. And we'll
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: promote his two shows coming up here. Frank on stage
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: dot com right down here where I am at West
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach. So eight seven seven ninety.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Nine on Fox four o'clock hour.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: We have the weekend observations coming up and we have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the University of Oregon. Dan Lanning
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: is going to join us in the second hour. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a lot to do here on the show.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: A lot of fun. to be had.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It was interesting over the weekend here, and again, Frank
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Caliendo in about 15 minutes. It was interesting over the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: weekend to see USC and Oregon play, to see that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: hit on their quarterback, and to see Dylan Rayola, of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: all people, who I had no idea was still playing
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: college football, was a guy that we kind of mocked.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Not kind of mocked. We did mock for trying to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: beat Patrick Mahomes. The reaction to that hit was amazing,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and the way he played was unbelievable. You know, coaches
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: say to players all the time, when I call your number,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you have to be ready. And for the life of me,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe that Rayola was ready. I just, of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: all the people, I can't believe that he was ready.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The NFL was fantastic yesterday. This is interesting, and I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: cannot recall a single example of what we are witnessing
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Drake May was a quarterback that we
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: watched play in the Super Bowl not too long ago.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's like seven or eight months ago. And it looks
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to me like Drake May, again, he is seven or
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: eight months removed from taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: They were a game away from winning it all.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And if you watch their game against Jacksonville yesterday.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And I asked you, hey, that quarterback playing for the Patriots,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do you think he's ever played in a Super Bowl?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You would have laughed at me and said, hell no.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Drake May, it appears, and I'd be interested to hear
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: from Dan Beyer on this, who I can't see for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: some reason.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: But I can speak to.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Dan, it appears to me that Drake May forgot how
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to play the game of football.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: He is lacking confidence.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He is not the same person we saw play against
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: your Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: He was like a clown out there. It was a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: clown show. It was ridiculous. And I can't think of
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: a guy.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Who has gone from where he has been, which is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: playing for a Super Bowl, to a guy who looks
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like he forgot to play the.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Sport that he was drafted to play. It was odd
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: to see, wasn't it?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: It was so bad. And to your point, Stu, I
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: think you could put playoffs. Like, this guy took a
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: team to the playoffs. would be a stretch for how
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: bad it worked. Travis Hunter hadn't had an interception his
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: entire NFL career until Drake May threw one right to him.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: And again, for whatever.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Reason, Drake May loves to do this around the end
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: zone because he did it when they were in field
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: goal range against the Seahawks. He threw it directly to
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Travis Hunter yesterday. Yeah, I think Rabel's even just kind
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: of like.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: All right, dude. What the heck? Because he's even searching
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: for answers. He was awful. And you can't blame it
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: all on A.J. Brown's absence either.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: No.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Because even though he's a wide receiver, number one, they
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: didn't have A.J. Brown last year, and he wasn't doing
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: this last year. And you can't say that, well, the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: loss is defending. No, this is all on his shoulders,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: and it's been more regression than progression.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It's odd to see. It really is.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many turnovers he had exactly yesterday,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: but he should have had eight more. That's how bad
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it was against the Jacksonville Jaguars. What were your takeaways yesterday, Dan?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Do you have a quarterback controversy in Seattle?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what, aside from the awful pick,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: and by the way, that is why the Seahawks won
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl last year, is because Sam Darnold didn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: turn the football over. For as great as their defense
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: had been, He didn't turn the football over, and he
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: was great yesterday. Sands the pick six that ends up
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: ultimately costing them the victory, and it was an awful
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: pick six. Shahid was wide open, but not putting it
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: all on Darnold. You know what struck me the most?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: is that people hate Sean Payton so much that they'll
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: actually cheer for the Rams and side with them with calls.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: All we've talked about this offseason, since Miles Garrett was
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: traded and Aaron Donald came back and how the Rams
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: are the super team, you would think everybody would cheer
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: against them and relish their victory. bad games and bad
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: calls that go against them but everybody last night is
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: like yeah rams got screwed grams totally bad pass interference
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: call people don't like sean payton that much that they'd
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: rather cheer for the rams than sean payton on sunday.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Night that's how bad sean payton is you're right that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they will cheer they will cheer for mcveigh uh only
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: if it comes at the.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Expense We all hated the Rams. Nobody likes the Rams.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Yet last night, we're like, injustice in the NFL. This
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: needs to stop.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Here's what's funny about the NFL and us not knowing
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what we're watching every Sunday and why previewing stuff is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. The Raiders are 3-0. The Rams are 1-2.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The Browns are 2-1. The team that Miles Garrett left...
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns, because he thought, I could never win
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl there. They're 2-1. The team he went
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to to win a Super Bowl is 1-2, and Miles
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Garrett is out for the next four or five weeks.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: We have no idea what we're watching. How do you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: feel about Browns fans? This is interesting, because I want
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to ask the audience. Browns fans rooting towards the end
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of that game for Deshaun Watson.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Fans only care about their feel-good. They're 2-1.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was a big part of the reason why
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they got to 2-1 yesterday at home.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about that, Dan?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Because I said headed into that game, this is a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: game for Deshaun Watson. Either he will get the entire
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns fan base to rally behind him, or he'll
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: never play quarterback in the NFL again. And it looks
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson's going to be the starter for the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: remainder of the season for the Cleveland Browns.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: He threw 144 yards and they're going crazy like that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Like that's what they want.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: They won.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And that's like, I thought Munkin was kind of a
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: sacrificial lamb. I thought that me'd maybe be there one
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: year and then they'll have the number one pick or
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: have a, have a high pick and have another pick
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: with the Rams. And then they'd bring a new coach
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: in and, start fresh and get rid of Deshaun Watson
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and get rid of Shador Sanders and move on from that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: But Munkin's kind of been a folk hero. I don't
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: know if it was from responding to Mike Tomlin the
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: way that he did on the Browns are going to Brown.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Sort of deal.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: But even like he gave a speech yesterday after they
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: were just in speaking with the media. And I think
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: like Cleveland loves Todd Munkin now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: It's yes. Yeah. It's a complete reversal of what I
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: thought it would be.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It is interesting. I'm trying to put myself... I'm trying
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to make myself a Cleveland Brown fan. It's bad enough
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: being a Jet fan, Dan. But I am trying to think,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: because they are starving for winning. They are starving for
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: any sort of feel-good as it relates to their football team.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: If I could find myself in any scenario rooting for
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, a guy who has so many off-the-field issues,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I guess what I'm asking here is... Do you put
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: your own feel-good ahead of everything?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. I can't not think
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: about it, though. That's the thing. I can't not do it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: There is no scenario in which you could find yourself,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you think, rooting for Deshaun Watson.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying? Yeah, exactly. I'd love to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: root for the people of Cleveland. I'd love to.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Root for Todd Munkin and everybody else. Quinn shot junk
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: kids and, and all of the, uh, the Browns.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. But just can't do it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Mike Singletary once said, can't do it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Can't do it. There, there. Thanks, Mike. Appreciate it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So if you're cheering for Deshaun Watson and someone says, hey,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: why are you cheering for that guy?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: What do you say? No, I'm just cheering for the Browns, right?
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: That's it. Even that, it's, oh gosh, it's, yeah, it's difficult.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: That fan base has been through, I mean, just, I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: but it's not like they were on Deshaun Watson's side
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: with all of this. I think they're even being forced to.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: to cheer for him i think.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: A majority of course yeah yeah because he's the starter
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: right now they don't want to cheer for him they'd
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: rather cheer for shador sanders but i'm not certain they're
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: two and one.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: With shador sanders watson has played decent.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: The last two weeks he has played i think better
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: than what you would have seen from Shador Sanders. So
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: let's take some calls here. 877-99 on Fox. That is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. And again, Frank Caliendo going to join
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: us in about 10 minutes here. Let's go out to Nathan,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: who's in North Carolina today. Nathan, go ahead. You are
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: I want to check in and see if Izzy is.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Going to take Josh Allen over Patrick Mahomes yet.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Izzy is not here. I will ask him. I'm not small, man.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It's so tricky with Josh Allen. That's a game the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Bills probably should have lost. I'm tired of the Chargers,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: by the way. Justin Herbert, enough. I'm tired of hearing
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: how good he is. It is tricky with Josh Allen
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: because I am on record as saying if Josh Allen
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: goes on to never win a Super Bowl, I will still.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Be willing to say... that he is one of the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: all-time great quarterbacks.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: We've never seen anything like him at that position, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain we'll ever see something at that position
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like him ever again. Is he Patrick Mahomes in terms
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: of accomplishments, hardware, rings, all that?
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But Josh Allen is one of the great quarterbacks we
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: have ever seen. Patrick Mahomes is starting to look like
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes again.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: He really is.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go out to Kevin in Minnesota. Kevin, go ahead.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Hey, this goes out to Nolan Teasley for the 1%
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: chance that he has Fox sports radio, Stu guts and
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: company on for background noise in his office. Nolan, I
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: implore you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I beg of you. Tony Dungy.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: No, we, we go with Dennis green years later. We
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: have Tomlin in the building as our defensive court. No, no,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: let's go with Brad children.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And we're going to go through this one more time.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: I know Kevin O'Connell just got extended, but it was
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: before you started as our GM here. And now we
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: got blind Flores. off the Belichick tree. And we're going
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: to know now and now we're going to stick with
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: the brainchild, the quarterback whisperer, Kevin O'Connell, like Nolan, Nolan,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: if you're listening, please, like I implore you, we can
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: be awful at quarterback.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Awful at offense.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: The offense can't be clicking. We can do all of
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: that with Brian floors as our head coach. Like we
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: can botch quarterback.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Decisions and, and, And who should.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Be the extended into the season or next season and
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: who shouldn't be, we can make the wrong decisions with
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Brian floors at the home. Like Brian's doing more with
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: less on the defense while Kevin's got one of the
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: best receivers in football. And we, it's like, we can't
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: figure out the offense. This is like two years, three
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: years running now, like Nolan, please.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I implore you. Okay. You're three. No, man.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: And later this week, Mikey is going to tell us
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: that the Vikings are the number one overall seed in
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: the NFC.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: So just prepare for that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They are 3-0 with Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. Like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I think you're fine at the head coaching spot. We'll
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: take a quick time out here. Frank Caliendo is going
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to join us coming up next. We'll talk Madden movie
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: with him. We will talk about his shows coming up
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and he will get you ready in a way. like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you've never heard, for the baseball postseason, which is starting tomorrow.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: But we all seem to forget why. Because the NFL.
• 13:14

  Speaker 1: So we start today with a surprise small fact.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Of the day. I have no idea what this is.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Ben Verlander going to join us coming up in about
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: 15 minutes.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: We'll talk some baseball with him.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But Taylor tells me, Mikey, he has a surprise small
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: fact of the day.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Are you aware of what it is he's about to
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: unleash on us here at Small, though?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I have tried to figure out what this could be,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: and he is giving absolutely nothing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: He won't tell me what sport, if it is a sport,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: that it has to do with.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: He will tell me absolutely nothing about this.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: To the point where... This could actually be anything.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: He could be telling me about a black hole supernova
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: type thing, and I still don't know.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: You were very Izzy-like.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He announced that he had a surprise small fact of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the day. You did ask a ton of follow-up questions,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and he gave us nothing.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: He gave us absolutely— it' s a big secret.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: He will not reveal a single thing to us, even
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: though it's a.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Very short fact. Go ahead.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: This is a short fact that all he did was say,
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: I have a short.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Fact for you guys that you're not going to believe. Right.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: But at this point, I've asked so many questions and
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: gotten so little response.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: That this can't live up to anything. No.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: He also said he has a short game for us
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: right after the short fact of the day.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, everything's short. All right, Taylor. Yeah. All right.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You have piqued our curiosity. What is your surprise small
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: fact of the day?
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: So my fact that'll surprise you, because I'm not sure
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: this is on anybody's radar. I'm not sure anybody's aware
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: of it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: The NHL starts tonight.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: What?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: What?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: We're back on the ice.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: This is a situation where the NHL has to know
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: its place in the sports calendar.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: We got MLB postseason starting tonight. We're in the heart
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: of the college football season, the heart of the NFL season.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: We don't need NHL at this point.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Mikey, you seem blown away by that small fact of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the day, as was I, by the way. I had
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: no idea the Florida Panthers season started tonight.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, hockey starts. Hockey is back, Mikey. I belong to...
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: all of the betting sites, and usually you get, hey,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: the season started today.
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: Here's a profit boost token for you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I've gotten nothing.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: I had zero idea that we were back.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: On the ice today. I got to be honest.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: If Taylor didn't provide us with the surprise small fat
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of the day, a month could have gone by. I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: still wouldn't have known that hockey had started.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: How about that? So who you guys got lifting the cup?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Who lifted the cup last year? Who did? The Hurricanes.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: That's right. Congratulations to Rob Brindamore. I forgot about that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Who hoisted this year?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be Edmonton. It's never Edmonton. It
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: was Edmonton back in the 80s after the Islanders won.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: It hasn't been Edmonton since. So who's going to hoist
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the cup before we get to some baseball here?
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Ricardo is over my shoulder right now saying the Florida Panthers.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: He keeps doing the Panthers sound effect. He's like.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got the wingmen. They got Brady and Matthew Kachuk.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It's a great podcast. I love those guys.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mikey. Listen, nobody follows hockey like I do. Nobody
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: follows the pucks like I do.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, I knew the Hurricanes won last year.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: So I'm telling you now. Right. The Avalanches Cup to lose.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll, Taylor. Did you know the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: NHL season starts tonight?
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: There's going to be 12 hockey hardos that are going
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: to be so mad that that's even on the poll.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Sorry, guys. Follow a better sport.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Right, like hardcore hockey fans who are like, why are
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you guys doing this? Why are you talking like this
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: about my sport? How do you not know when you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: do this for a living, host a national show, that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: one of the four majors starts tonight?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Who is worse? Which hard-o? Soccer hard-o or hockey hard-o? Oh,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: soccer hard-o is the worst. No, no, no, no. What
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: do you mean?
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Hockey hard-o is worse because the hockey guy is always
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: in comparison with the NBA, and they'll do anything in
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: their power to let you know why the NBA is
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: worse than the NHL and everybody else kind of watching
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: is like, hockey guy. Nobody really cares.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the soccer hard-o is different.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: The soccer hard-o is constantly trying to explain why the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: game is so beautiful, why.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: The game is so great.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: They're constantly trying to explain to me what it is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: that I'm watching. I know what I'm watching. I'm watching
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: two teams play on a pitch and no one's scoring goals.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm watching every single time I tune into soccer.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I know what it is. I just don't like it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: So the soccer guy... is trying to explain the sport
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: to you the nhl guy is trying to convince you
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: to like.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: His sport see i agree with both of you but
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: i think the answer is easy soccer guy wants you
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: to watch his sport he wants to bring you in
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: he wants to grow it hockey guy is looking down
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: on you because you're not already there with.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Him right I mean, the soccer guy could grow it
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: if the soccer guy would go out on the pitch and.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Score a couple of goals for me.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: Well, listen, we're not talking about which sport is better.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: We're talking about which which hardo is worse. Yes, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: think the hard. Well, for me, it's soccer.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: But I understand why you guys would say hockey because
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Taylor's right. The soccer hardo is simply trying to grow
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the sport.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: He cares that much about it that he wants to take.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: The time he wants to explain it to you the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: hockey hard-up he has no time to explain anything he
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: just wants you to watch.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Both awful meals yes one of them has better customer service.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Soccer does right It's like Chris Whittingham explaining soccer to you.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: He's going to do it. He's going to do it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: He's got a smile.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yes. He's very polite.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And you might actually find yourself liking soccer just because
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you like the guy who's explaining soccer to you.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: Listen, I had a three-week run where I was really
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: into Chelsea.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And then they lost a couple of games.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: And I just, and football started and I just completely
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: checked out.
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Who is my soccer team? I forget.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Ashton Villa.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: How are they doing?
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: They can't be doing well.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: They're just not that good.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Let's talk some Yankees here before Ben Verlander comes on.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: You have Yankees, Red Sox tonight. You guys excited? Yankees
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: and Red Sox. I mean, come on.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I know you want it later in the playoffs, but...
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You do have Yankees, Red Sox, wild card round. No Judge.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Stanton's playing. Not the guy you want playing. You'd rather
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: have Judge. If you could only choose one, you would
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: want Judge over Stanton. But how do you guys feel
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: headed into this series?
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: So I'm nervous heading into this series with no Aaron
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Judge because you would like your MVP who crushes lefties.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: In against a team that's going to primarily throw lefties.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Game one for me, it's as close as a must
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: win as you could get when you have somebody like
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: Cam Schlittler taking the mound for the Yankees. He's going
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: to go up against Peyton Tolley from the Red Sox.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: And Tolley has held the Yankees to a 093 batting
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: average over his career.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: He's 1-0.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: 0.69 ERA, 18 strikeouts in his career against the Yankees.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: This is just strength on strength right now with Tully
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: and Schlittler. And right now you would be, the only
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: thing that gives me confidence, Mikey, is that the, that
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: this series is in New York. Other than that, I am,
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: I'm very scared for this, this wildcard series.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have a playoff Stanton
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: on the roster right now than a playoff judge.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Now, I want Aaron Judge back. Wow.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: He does hit lefties and all that stuff. But let's
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: not discount what playoff Stanton is like. I will say this, though.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: This is kind of a lose-lose series for us because either–
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: The Yankees are going to win and dominate like they're
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: supposed to because they are the better team. They're the
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: better roster. There is no like they just are the
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: better team or they're going to lose in those ugly
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: fashion stolen base in the ninth inning, followed by a
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: single to lose the game type ways. Not that I'm
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: still reeling from 2004. And it's just going to break
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: my heart.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge batted 500 last postseason.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I think we might want him in the lineup.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, 500, Mikey. And how many games?
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: How many games?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: How many at-bats? Give me all the postseason stats. Two
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: for four? Hold on. I want to hear them all.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Just relax for a second. He'll get to them. He's
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: getting to them. He'll get to them.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I want to hear all of them because this is
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the guy that Mikey doesn't like.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: I didn't say I didn't want him in the lineup.
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying, historically, postseason Stanton better than postseason.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: If you noticed, I was pulling my thoughts back there
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: for a second. This is a guy he'd rather have
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: over Stanton, would less rather have than Stanton on his
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: playoff roster.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Give me the numbers from last year for Judge.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: So last postseason, he was 13 of 26 in seven games.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: The one knock, if you're trying to give Mikey A
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: credit here, Only one of those 13 hits was a
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: home run.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: So that's the knock on Aaron Judge, that he has
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: seven RBIs in seven games. And you would expect better
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: production in terms of extra base hits for somebody like
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: him when he carries over into the postseason.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: But what Mikey A.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Is saying is the Yankees have to win this. Winning
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: this series just means they did what they were supposed
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to do. Losing this series, you never stop hearing it
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: from Boston. It is like my, I'm totally with you
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: on this.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: You have to win the series.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: You have the better team and you do have the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: better picture tonight and you're at home.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: And where I live in Connecticut. It's it's a 50
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: 50 split.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's it's a lot. So I can't
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: get away from it. Taylor, you're down in Miami. Right.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: The Yankees lose and you just walk down the street
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: and just nobody cares.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: I have to no matter where I go, there's somebody
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: that knows I'm a Yankee fan.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I go to the deli. They're like, oh, how about
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: your Yankees?
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Go.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Red Sox. Yes.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Mikey lives in a neighborhood where his neighbor could be
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a Red Sox fan, could be a Yankee fan. Every
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: other house is a Yankee fan, Red Sox fan, Yankee fan,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Red Sox fan. Although people do like to mock the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yankees nationally.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: They do. Doesn't matter.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Like Taylor might walk into a deli in South Florida.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: It might be one random.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Guy, you know, Ricardo, who just starts mocking.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Him because the Yankees have lost to the Red Sox.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: But you're right. Other than that, no one really cares,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: especially down here.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: My only pushback here is that calling this series a
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: lose-lose for the Yankees. Because if you win, you still
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: move on to the next round.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: You're supposed to win. If you win, you did what
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: you were supposed to do. That's all I say.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Are they really supposed to win? The Yankees are favorites
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: in this series because it's in the Bronx, but I
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: don't think the Yankees are supposed to win with their
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: struggles against lefties.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but if you look at their starting who should
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: be the runaway Cy Young winner, and we're sitting here
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: worried about Ben Toley or whatever the hell his name is.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: It's a lineup full of no names. It's Peyton Toley.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Him too. Yes, Peyton Toley. Him too.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: And now we're sitting here, and it's like the.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Red Sox road.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: An amazing run in the middle of the summer, but
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: they've been basically 500 since then.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: There's no way the Yankees should lose this series at home.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Right. Starting Cam Schlittler, Max Freed, and your game three
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: starter just happens to be one of the best pitchers
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: of the last decade. Like there's no way they should
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: lose this series.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Garrett Coles, who he's talking about. Most teams would love
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to have him as their ace, as their number one starter.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: He for the Yankees. Baseball is random. We all know that.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: The Yankees are the better team, have been the better
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: team for the entire season. The Red Sox had their moment.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: They had their runs. But Mikey's right. They're kind of
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: limping into the playoffs here.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but even then, the Yankees are minus 170 favorites
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: to win this series. It's not like they're a minus 400, like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: A massive upset.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: No, but they're the favorites. He's just saying winning doesn't,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it's no cause for celebration. If you win, you did
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: what you were supposed to do. You moved on to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the next round of the playoffs. If you lose, you
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: get mocked by Red Sox fans who know they don't
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: have a better team, yet they still beat you.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, so with Mikey.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: We had a short fact here that blew us away.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Hockey is starting. Now let's get to a short game
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: that Taylor has for us before we get.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: To Ben Verlander. Oh, there's music.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Yep. Always is.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Of course there is.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: By the way, if you want our football thoughts, last
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: night's game, Stugatz & Company, check it out.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: The show before the show. Download, subscribe, rate, review, do
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: all that good stuff.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: So with the baseball playoffs starting today, our two contestants,
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Mikey A. and Stugatz, I need you guys to do
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: one thing for me. The Astros-White Sox game. Name either
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: starting pitcher.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Wow. Astros and White Sox.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: What a turnaround year for the White Sox. I mean, geez. Postseason.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: Also, while you guys are thinking, when Jose Altuve takes
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: the field today, he will have played in more postseason
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: games than the entire Mets franchise. Almost impossible.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: That's a great stat. That should have been your fact
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: of the day. So an Asher.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: Vargas.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: It's a good guess.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: No.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: No, it's a great guess. I'm trying to think. You
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: hear Ricardo laughing in the background.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Well, because, yeah, there's probably 15 starting pitchers in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: majors with the last name Vargas.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I played the numbers, man. I played the numbers. Vasquez.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: No, Javi Vasquez is not on the White Sox anymore.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: He's not. Should be. Contreras.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Jose Contreras is not on the White Sox anymore.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Mark Burley still doing things? Ah, Burley.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: No, Mark Burley hung it up.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: He's done, huh? Ooh, so an Astro.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: Listen, my favorite White Sox is Colston Montgomery because I
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: love saying his name. He's an English gentleman who hits
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: home runs.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: How about Danks? Wasn't there a pitcher named Danks?
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Bobby Danks.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: No, he's not starting, though.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: What?
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: I think it was a closer.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Janks.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Bobby Janks.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: No, there was a Danks, too, for the White Sox.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Sure there was. Look it up. Back in the day.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Not too long ago.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: John Danks.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: John Danks. Danksy.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Dank you later.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Take that to the Dank. Smith? Ah, Smith.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Mikey, you got it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Yes. Hey, playing the numbers. I was going to say Johnson.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: The matchup tonight, Hagan Smith takes the bump for the
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: White Sox at 5 p.m.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Eastern.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Yes. Somebody named A.J. Blueball?
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Burnett. AJ Blue Ball.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: AJ Burnett.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Pitch for the Marlins. And the Yankees. And the Yankees.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: And the Pirates. Yes, and the Pirates.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: Really? Yep.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that. I had to stop short there
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: for a second. Small fact of the day right there.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I had no idea. Yeah, there you go. Wait, so
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: who's the pitcher for... That Mikey got right?
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Hagen Smith.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Smith.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: How many guesses would I have had to given you
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: to guess his first name before you got it right,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Forever? We'd just be guessing forever. I would sneeze and
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: have a better shot of getting it right. Did you
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: say Hagen? Bless you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I was going to guess Justin Verlander.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotts. and
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Pacific.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Taylor, you have to feel vindicated only from this standpoint.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You know tonight is not a must-win game. I understand
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you got carried away, but you have to be vindicated
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: on your Cam Schlittler tape because now everyone is.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Throwing flowers at you.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And I know you were reaching when you made the take,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: but I have taught you very, very well. Swing for
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the fences, my friend. If you get it right, we'll
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: celebrate it. And if you don't, no one, and I
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: mean nobody, will remember the bad take. Congratulations to you.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: I love Cam Schluter. He's second in my New York
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: sports power ranking right now behind only Jalen Brunson.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow. I mean, has it changed your life? Can
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: he catch him?
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Can he catch Jalen Brunson?
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: No.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Cam Schluter can win the next five World Series and
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: be the World Series MVP in every one, and he's
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: not catching Jalen Brunson.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Just one title. You changed your life. Yeah. Yes.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You have ranked NFL games here. What are you doing
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: with NFL games here as we finish out the show?
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: So I have categories for NFL games. I'm going to
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: say what the game is to me, like if it's
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: a win now game, a loser leaves town game. And
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: then you guys can either try to guess what the
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: game is or I could just explain what the game is.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: OK. All right.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we should know the categories that we're trying
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to guess, right?
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: I'll say the category.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, you will. OK. So we have to agree or disagree, essentially.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: I'm scared for this team's life game.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Scared for this team's life game. Wow. Okay. I'm scared
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: for their life. Hold on. I got to get the schedule.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Particularly the quarterback.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: The Texans.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: No.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: I would have said the Dolphins.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Mikey A, you nailed it. Mikey A's got the pulse
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: of the NFL.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: The Vikings. They play the Vikings at Flores.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: First off, you have the Flores revenge game factor where
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: he's getting the chance to go against the Dolphins. I
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: don't know about you guys, but Flores seems like a
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: pretty vindictive person, and I think he's going to want
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: to try to bury this Dolphins team. And then, Stu,
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: the Minnesota Vikings blitz at a 71.1% rate. The next
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: closest is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 46.7%. It would
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: be the highest blitz rate in a season since at
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: least 2016.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: Brian Flores has figured out something in Minnesota just saying,
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: I've studied quarterbacks to know there aren't enough good quarterbacks
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: in this league to process the decision-making. So I'm just
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: going to blitz every time and put them in bad situations.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: And if I'm Malik Willis, I'm afraid for Malik Willis'
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: life this weekend.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: If the Vikings go up by enough, does Brian Flores
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: throw on a helmet just so that he can run.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: A blitz too and try and hit somebody? I could
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: see him doing it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I think what Brian Flores is trying to figure out
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: is why the hell he's not the head coach there.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: He probably should be. Perhaps that lawsuit against the NFL. Anyway,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: next one.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: My next game. The pink slip game.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I love a good pink slip. Oh, I got it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: If this coach loses this game, he gets back to
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: the office Sunday night and there's a pink slip waiting
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: at his desk.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: We're still doing pink slips, huh? Do we still do
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: pink slips?
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: That's a great question.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Battle of the bays. Is he right?
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: It's the Battle of the Bays. Matt LeFleur up against
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Todd Bowles. I think this is a loser leaves town.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you have Todd Bowles getting a pink slip.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I told you no one has more job
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: security in the NFL than Todd Bowles.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: I think everybody's tired of the Todd Bowles act right now.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Like they see his face on the sideline. It never changes.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Team stinks. You're in the NFC South. The one shining
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: grace for this Tampa Bay Bucks team is the fact
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: that they play in the NFC South and they're only
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: a game out of it despite not winning a game
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: yet this season.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: Todd Bowles, like, it's time to either win or get
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: out that job.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: I would just say I don't think Todd Bowles is
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: going to get fired starting an undrafted rookie because his
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: quarterback is injured.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I don't see that happening.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: LeFleur, yes, I could see that happening if he loses
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: to an undrafted rookie 0-3 Tampa Bay Bucs.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I still can't see LeFleur getting fired in season.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Either of those guys, to be honest with you. Maybe
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: it's a pink slip down the road game.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I just don't i can't imagine either coach coming back
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to their office after that game and there lies a
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: pink slip because their services are no longer needed i
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: just i don't see it so.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: Who do you think is more likely to get fired
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: if they lose this game it's got.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: To be lafleur LeFleur.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: I think Bowles is not getting fired losing a game
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: with a backup undrafted rookie as his quarterback.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying either coach is going to get fired,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: but if one does get a pink slip, it's going
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: to be LeFleur.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes. Next game?
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: My next game, the last one I have for this week.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: Prove Yourself game.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Prove Yourself.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Prove yourself oh okay shouldn't every game be a prove
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: yourself game i mean theoretically you could say it about
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: any game right.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: Theoretically everybody's trying to prove themselves but i got this
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: one circled as a prove yourself game i think there's
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: two teams that some people might have questions with one
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: of these two teams is going to walk out unless
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: there's a tie feeling a lot more confident about themselves.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Prove it you want to take a shot stew i'm
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: yeah i got it yeah eagles rams it would be
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: my prove it game no this so this is a
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: get right game for both of us now i'm sorry
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: about that is it chiefs raiders not chiefs raiders wow
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that was my next really that's my game of the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: week though.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Wow. Bengals Jaguars.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: You nailed it.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. There you go.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I think there's some questions about this Bengals team with
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: that defensive performance, bringing that Steelers offense back to life.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: And then Trevor Lawrence, you guys could say whatever you
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: want about Trevor Lawrence. And I know you will.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: He looks like a different quarterback when he plays with
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: Liam Cone as his head coach, and there might be
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: something there to think that Trevor Lawrence might finally be
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: putting it all together this season in Jacksonville with Liam Cone.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: I think this is a prove-yourself game.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I would respond to that by saying do it in
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the postseason. But you're right, it's a proof of the game.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry that I gave away your Game of the
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Week Raiders and Chiefs. What do you have for us, Taylor? Imaging.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: You know that segment, Talk About It Tuesday, on Hockman, Crowder,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: and Solero? This is like that, but bigger and better.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: And 48 hours later, this is Think About It Thursday.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Every Thursday, we like to think this is Taylor's attempt
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to counter-program a local showdown here in Miami.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Hockman, Solero, and Crowder. Did I get it right? Solano. Oh, man.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: Solano.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I tried that time. I actually did.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: So I have two hypotheticals. One is to think about
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: it Thursday. And then I've got one kind of in
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: the holster because I don't think with your guys' fandom,
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: it's going to be much to think about.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: So that's why I have a backup just in case.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Wow. A second in the holster. First time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: To really think about it Thursday. Have to think twice.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Your biggest rival wins the next four Super Bowls, but
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: your team wins the fifth. Do you take that deal? Yes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I've lived this. Well, hold on a second. I've lived this.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Mikey, hold on. Who's our biggest rival? You're going to
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: say it's the Patriots. I think it's the Patriots. For
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: a while, it was the Dolphins.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: I think the Dolphins' biggest rival is the Jets. I
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: think the Jets' biggest rival is the Patriots.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Do you agree with that, Mike? Sure. But for a while,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: it was Jet Dolphins.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: That was the big rivalry in the AFC East, right?
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: Okay, so this actually changes it because if I have
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: to watch four Dolphins Super Bowls, or maybe even worse,
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: because the only thing we have over the Bills is
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: we have one Super Bowl and they have none. If
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: I have to watch them win four.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: That's tough. Yeah, I still do it. Yeah, I still
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: do it. To get one. I still do it. So
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: the fifth year, we get a Super Bowl. The Jets
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl. You're guaranteed a Super Bowl. We're
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: guaranteed a Super Bowl.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: But you basically have to live through, in this case,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: a Josh Allen dynasty. Yes.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Get ready to go to the one in the holster.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I will tell you, I'll watch any team win four
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: consecutive Super Bowls if you're guaranteeing me that five years
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: from now, the Jets are winning a Super Bowl.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: So I think this is very team dependent. That's why
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: I knew you guys were going to choose the Super
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: Bowl if you were the Jets. Like, Realistically, you guys
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: are not seeing Jet Super Bowls in your lifetime. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: hate to be the bearer of bad news.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Thank you. We've resigned ourselves to that fact. If you would.
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: Have done this same question 10 years ago and said
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: five years from now, you'll get to the playoffs, we
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: still wouldn't.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't have done it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: There's no reason for him to throw that in. I mean,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that he did, but I mean, he is, listen,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: he's on a high right now. The Knicks won a title.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson has changed his life, and the Yankees are
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: facing the Rays in the ALCS. Not the DS. He
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: claimed it's the ALCS. Winner goes to the World Series.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: So the reason why I think it's mainly team dependent,
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: like if you're a Patriots fan, you're not signing up
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: for the Jets winning four Super Bowls in a row,
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: and then you're getting the fifth with your history. If you're,
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: let's say... Let's say you're a Commanders fan. Yes. I
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: don't think the Commanders are signing up for a Cowboys dynasty.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: No, but their fan bases have seen their teams win
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls in their lifetime.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: The Commanders, like how long ago was that?
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, 80s.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: A good majority of their fan base.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: That's 40 years ago.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: A good majority of their fan base does not know
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: But, Mikey, had we won a Super Bowl in the 80s,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the Jets, I would say no to this question. I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: would not want to see the Patriots or the Dolphins
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: win four straight, you know?
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: This might surprise you. I wasn't alive for at least
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: half of the 80s.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I know. Well, I know. So I would take it. OK,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: I think the best example.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Do you think Bears fans would take four consecutive Packers
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls if it meant they were going to win
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl guaranteed Super Bowl five years from now?
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: I don't think they do. Just because you have the
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams duo and you're more willing to
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: press your luck saying over the next five years, we
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: think those two could could win a Super Bowl on
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: their own without having to put up with. your arch
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: rival having a dynasty.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Do you think cowboy fans would sit through philadelphia winning
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: four consecutive super bowls they've sat.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Through enough if it meant they could win one guaranteed.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: I think this is the line figuring out what side
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: cowboys fans would be on right my gut says they
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: don't want their rivals winning four super bowls even if
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: it means they're they win one.
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure any team in the afc north would
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: take that No, they all hate each other too much.
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: I think every team in the AFC North hates each
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: other too much to take that deal.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Like the Ravens, they're not sitting through four Super Bowl
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: championships by the Steelers, right?
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: They're not doing it. Whereas I think every team in
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: the AFC South would be like, yay!
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: But the Bengals are kind of benign, right?
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think either team, like, do you think the
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Ravens Steelers, they would mind watching the Bengals win four
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: straight if it means they're guaranteed one?
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: The Bengals?
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: They all hate each other.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: They all hate each other.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: That division is fueled by hate. Cleveland, too. Yeah. Oh, man.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: But you're guaranteed a Super Bowl, Mike. On the other
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: side of it. I'm taking it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: I'm taking it.
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I'm taking it.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: But I'm a Jets fan. Okay. Right. Jets, Lions. We're
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: the fans.
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: Browns, maybe.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Yes. Well, that's what I'm saying. Browns, maybe.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: The Browns would be okay with it if they had
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: to watch one of those other three teams win four
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: consecutive Super Bowls.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: And they would win one guaranteed. They would take that
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: right in that division.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: They would.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: The Browns. Think about it. I think the Browns are
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: the only one.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: I think the Browns do it reluctantly. What about the
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: AFC West? Because I don't think the Chiefs do it.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Well, the Chiefs don't do it. The Broncos don't do it.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: They've had success. I think the Broncos might do it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs don't do it. They want to win the
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: fifth in a row. They're not giving away a Super Bowl.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Who does it? Who do you think in the West
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: does it?
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: I don't think the Broncos do it.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Broncos do it either. They've won
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: one recently.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: They have with Peyton. I want to flip this on Taylor.
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: Taylor, would you watch four straight Celtics if it meant
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: you got another Knicks one?
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: No.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Because he has one.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I have one.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you have one. Now that you have one.
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: If I would have asked you this six months ago,
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: you're taking that in a second.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: If you asked me this last year, I would have said, okay,
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: I'm mentally prepared for Jason Tatum to become the next
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: Michael Jordan.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Who's your main rival in the ACC? Would you take
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Ford Duke? Ford?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Consecutive Duke basketball championships for one North Carolina guaranteed champion.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: This is the easiest one possible. The thought of John
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: Shire elevating to like Roy Williams coach case status, just
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: the thought of it makes me want to throw up.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I was going down a football path, but I realized
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: you have no rivalries.
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, NC State. I wouldn't sign up for college football either.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: NC State wins four consecutive college football championships and North
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Carolina wins the fifth.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't take that?
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: No, because right now I take a lot of pride
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: in the fact that NC State really has nothing going
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: for them as a school. So if they won four
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: national titles all of a sudden and Dave Doran. was
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: getting into, like, Kirk Cignetti title, saying, like, oh, if
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: NC State could win in football, anybody could do it. Like,
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: just the thought of that would repulse me.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Winning four consecutive would make Dave Doran. It would put
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: him on the Mount Rushmore of college football coaches. Saban, Saban,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Dave Doran.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Yes. Bear Bryant, Saban, insert any name, and Dave Doran.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: Probably Cignetti. oh man do any of the nfc south
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: teams take.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: It nfc south because.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: I think that is i mean i think the afc
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: south and the nfc south are basically just like those
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: two divisions are just mirrors looking at each other um
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: who in.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: That division has won a super bowl the bucks have
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: won one recently with brady saints have won one yeah
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: with breeze uh the falcons it's been a wild And
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the Panthers have never won one. Yeah, the Falcons have
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: never won a Super Bowl. So Falcon and Panther fans.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: So I think those two would have to take it.
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: Even though Atlanta hates New Orleans so much, I think they.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Have to take it.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: Because right now Atlanta's like one moment from the Super
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: Bowl is the 28-3.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I would love to ask Bomani. Same. Yes.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: Well, Bomani's a Lions fan.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he understands that Falcons fan base. Yes.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: True.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Better than anyone, I feel like. I think Falcons fans
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: would say no. I think most of them would say
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: no when I would tell them they're ridiculous.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Like, who cares?
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Who cares if your rival wins four consecutive Super Bowls,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: as long as you win one and you win the
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: last one.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Yes. I wouldn't take that as a Yankee fan. Well,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: you guys have been watching four years of the Red Sox. Well,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: that's different, but you guys won a lot. I mean,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: I understand. That's why it's, it matters. The fan base.
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: I know you guys are coming at this differently as
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: Jets fans. I think the average fan, we are underselling
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: like four straight years where your sports season is ruined
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: because That's like unprecedented torture.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What does Ricky Mantle think?
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: Which do you want him to call?
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Israel Gutierrez is in again after another long weekend.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I'm liking this long weekend thing. This every Friday is
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: working out for you, huh? One day work week.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I love it. We'll talk to Chris Sims coming up
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: in hour number two. Excited for that.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Izzy, what was your feelings last night?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about Browns and Steelers, and the
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Browns win that game 27-24.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: They're 3-1. The team that Miles Garrett.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Left is 3-1, and the team that he joined to
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl is 1-2. That's the NFL. But
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: we were saying if there's a quarterback that's going to
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: force us to root for Aaron Rodgers, right? that quarterback
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: is going to be Deshaun Watson every single time.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: And so it's an impressive start for the Browns, 3-1.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody, and I mean nobody, expected them to get off
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: to a 3-1 start.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: But what were your feelings? What are your feelings on
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: our comments that that is.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: The only matchup in which we will root for Aaron
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Rodgers because he is unlikable?
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: I would have thrown in Tua, but those are my
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: own personal feelings there. It's funny that you say that
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: because I had the exact opposite thought.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: I said to myself, wow, I'm cheering for the Browns. Now,
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: they had the most sort of ridiculous start with just
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: so many dumb penalties yesterday. Where I was like, how
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: could you like this team? Like, they're just so frustrating.
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: We already know that nobody really likes, nobody should like
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: Deshaun Watson, really.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: But, man.
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: Aaron Rodgers is so unlikable, like on the field to
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: my eyes watching him play. I can't imagine any one
• 46:59
  Speaker 10: of his teammates, any one of his coaches that say, hey,
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: that's a good dude right there and gives him a
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: big old hug.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, you saw the exchange with Mike McCarthy.
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: And I, you know, forever for the rest of time,
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: he's going to be talking with his hand over his
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: mouth because he doesn't want to get caught calling Aaron
• 47:14
  Speaker 10: Rodgers what he called him yesterday.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: But Aaron deserves that.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 47:18
  Speaker 10: There have been so many situations in so many games where, yeah,
• 47:22
  Speaker 10: a coach gets a play call in late, right? But
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: for him to just be so demonstrative, to look like
• 47:29
  Speaker 10: such a jerk, to basically put his coaches out there
• 47:31
  Speaker 10: for everybody to say, hey, his coaches must not be
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: doing something right.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Look at Aaron. Look how upset he is. It's just
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: BS to me.
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: It just makes him seem like he's been in this
• 47:41
  Speaker 10: league for so long.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 47:43
  Speaker 10: And he knows exactly what he's doing. Like, stop doing that.
• 47:46
  Speaker 10: Stop undermining your coaches. And I found myself cheering hard
• 47:50
  Speaker 10: for the Cleveland Browns yesterday.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Not for Deshaun Watson. Right.
• 47:53
  Speaker 10: For the Cleveland Browns. I feel like the Browns fans
• 47:57
  Speaker 10: have done their job in sort of helping– Deshaun Watson,
• 48:01
  Speaker 10: helping put him in his place for some, you know,
• 48:03
  Speaker 10: one way or another.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: They've been hard enough on Deshaun Watson.
• 48:06
  Speaker 10: Not hard enough. They've been hard on him, deservedly so.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: And so now I feel like I am free to
• 48:11
  Speaker 10: allow my emotions to carry their own weight and just
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: hate on Aaron Rodgers. And it's not just what he does,
• 48:18
  Speaker 10: what he did yesterday, what he does.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: On the field.
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: It's even like the nonsense that he talks off the field.
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: It's the nonsense that he talks on the McAfee show. Like,
• 48:27
  Speaker 10: Have you ever met a guy who says stuff about
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: his exes publicly the way he has done recently where
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: it's just like, hang on a second. Why are you
• 48:35
  Speaker 10: talking smack about your ex-girlfriends? Have you ever seen another
• 48:40
  Speaker 10: quarterback say something I want to look good because I
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: want my wife to bleep me. It's like, who are
• 48:46
  Speaker 10: you trying to be? Are you trying to join a fraternity?
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: Are you 18 years old?
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Who is this guy?
• 48:54
  Speaker 10: And so there's just no element about Aaron Rodgers that
• 48:58
  Speaker 10: I like. He wants to be this guy who's contrary
• 49:01
  Speaker 10: to everything. He wants to be this guy who feels
• 49:03
  Speaker 10: like he knows more than everybody else. And currently, he's
• 49:07
  Speaker 10: a nothing. He's on a bad team playing quarterback. And
• 49:13
  Speaker 10: it's just like, I don't think he deserves this license
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: to be this jerk for this entire time. And so, yeah,
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: I'm going to cheer. against Aaron Rodgers for the rest
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: of this season.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: Hard. Wow.
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: Izzy, I want to be very clear because I am
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: in your camp when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, where
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers says, once I retire from football, you'll never
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: hear from me again.
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, stop it.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: I'm holding him to that promise because.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you he's going to break that promise.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: But in defense of Aaron Rodgers last night in the
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: first half where he has that blow up with Mike McCarthy,
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: This is now a trend for this Steelers team where
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: they're having some kind of communication issues and getting him
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: plays where last week against the Bengals, they had to
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: burn all three of their timeouts early in the first
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: half because something is going on with getting the plays
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: relayed into him. So then I think when it carries
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: over into Thursday night football, Aaron Rodgers looks at it like,
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: Hey guys, we knew this was a problem going into
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: this game. And now the frustration is boiling over into
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: our next game where we still haven't had the address,
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: the issues addressed. And also. Mike McCarthy, he just doesn't
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: look like an innocent guy out there when he's coaching
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: where he almost has like this confused look on his
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: face when Aaron Rodgers is barking at him.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: But for Aaron, it's all for just public display.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: Like, you're a veteran. You're a grown-up.
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: You're supposed to be a team guy. Like, save that
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: for the sideline. Save it for the locker room. But
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: when you're out here on the field doing all this nonsense, like,
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: you could sort of keep it right here and just
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: be like, hey, call the play. You know, just give
• 50:47
  Speaker 10: them some sort of symbol. or signal that says, hey,
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: hurry up, but not look like such an a-hole doing it.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Just to play the other side of this, I mean,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: he did need a play called in. I mean, they're
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: trying to score, and he's the quarterback, and he wanted
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: a play.
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: Right, but this is coming off the heels of him saying,
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: it all starts with me, and then blaming his coaching staff.
• 51:07
  Speaker 10: So in that moment, he was just like, let me
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: make sure everybody knows that my coaching staff is doing
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: me no favors right now.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: Izzy, is this just an Aaron Rodgers issue, or did
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: you also have issues with T.J. Watt in the game
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: where T.J. Watt is getting frustrated with members of the secondary,
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: and then T.J. Watt takes the headset to talk to
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: the defensive coordinator to try to get their situation situated? Because, again,
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: it felt like just a complete mess on that Steelers team.
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: where everybody's just yelling at everybody when the Browns... I
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: think they went into that game thinking they were going
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: to walk over the Browns.
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: And the second the Browns started fighting back, the Steelers
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: really didn't have any answers.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, Izzy, if you're playing for that team and
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: the communication is not right and you have a history
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: of poor communication... And McCarthy does. And that Steelers staff
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: does because it goes back to last week. You have
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: to be frustrated if you're not getting the plays called
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: into you. Like you have to work that out before
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: the next game. And clearly they did not. And the
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: players were frustrated by it.
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: No, to answer your question, Taylor, it's just an Aaron
• 52:08
  Speaker 10: Rodgers thing for me. And that's fine, by the way.
• 52:11
  Speaker 10: I will say this, too. We all know who T.J.
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: Watt's brother is.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course.
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: And what is his, according to you, what is his
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: big reputation? He's a what guy? He's a me, me,
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: me guy.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: He's a look at me guy.
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: So TJ might've gotten a little bit of that from
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: his brother. It might run in the veins.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: He learned from big bro. Yes. Can you root for
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: the Browns without rooting for Deshaun Watson? Great question, man.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: Great question. It's so hard.
• 52:38
  Speaker 10: If he is playing sort of mediocre football, Yes.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: Which he is. Then yes.
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: Right. Because it's not just him carrying them. It's not
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: like you're saying, phew, Watson got us out of that mess.
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: He's just, you know, calling the plays and hitting pretty
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: much wide open guys for the most part. But yeah,
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: I think the way they're playing now, when it's not
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: all him doing, you know, carrying them, I think you
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: can cheer for them.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: But you find yourself getting behind the Browns because that
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: fan base has been.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: Through it, right? Right.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: And so they have four weeks of feel good here
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: where they're three in one. They weren't expecting to be
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: three in one. They don't know what to do. They're conflicted.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: They have, they have told us how they feel about
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, but they care about the Browns more.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: They care about themselves more. They are feel good more
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: and they feel pretty good right now. And they should.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: I was pretty shocked.
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: I'm not normally shocked when announcers drop stats on a broadcast,
• 53:32
  Speaker 10: mostly because you usually hear these things going into a
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: game anyway, but I don't, I don't know if I
• 53:37
  Speaker 10: just hadn't been listening to Brown's conversations, and you can't
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: blame me if I haven't, but the idea that they
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: haven't won a division title since the days of Bernie
• 53:46
  Speaker 10: Kosar was absolutely a jaw-dropping situation for me.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: I was just like... That can't be.
• 53:53
  Speaker 10: Divisions are a nothing story. You can accidentally win a division.
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: Didn't the Dolphins accidentally win the AFC East one year
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: with Chad Pennington?
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Did they win it that year? They did. Chad Pennington
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: was the runner-up for MVP. Brady went down with an Achilles.
• 54:05
  Speaker 10: I believe. And it's a nothing season because they didn't
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: win a playoff game, but yet they did that. And
• 54:11
  Speaker 10: yet the Browns are still longtime sufferers.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: That one was wild.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: The Browns are 3-1 for the first time since 2021.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: And if you're talking winning a division.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: And the last time was Bernie Kosar.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: That has to be like in the 80s, right?
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: 1989.
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: When they claimed the AFC Central title. And the Dolphins, Izzy,
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: you mentioned it.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: It was 2008.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: Tony Sperano.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: When's the last time the Jets won their division? Like,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: is that the longest streak in the NFL right there?
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: 2002.
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: All right. Also, Chad Pennington.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: That guy's a master of winning divisions. That Dolphin team
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: was funny. Yes, they won the division. Pennington was great
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: that season. It took Brady going down, though, for them
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: to win that division. And the Patriots were still 11
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: and five with Matt Castle.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was barely, barely won that division.
• 55:02
  Speaker 10: Speaking of unlikable, Taylor, I wanted to ask you this
• 55:05
  Speaker 10: because I don't know if we're going to have much
• 55:06
  Speaker 10: time to get to it. And frankly, it's a day old.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: But how much fun was it beating those particular Red Sox?
• 55:14
  Speaker 10: And your boy, like, Roman Anthony, nobody likes him because
• 55:16
  Speaker 10: he didn't play. Wilson Contreras, like, walking around the bases
• 55:19
  Speaker 10: when he was down. And hopefully I didn't get fooled
• 55:22
  Speaker 10: by the Internet on this. Were they wearing T-shirts that said,
• 55:25
  Speaker 10: there's nothing like October? And they got knocked out September 30th.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: They were outscored 18-2, I believe.
• 55:31
  Speaker 10: They were eliminated before October, and they were wearing T-shirts saying,
• 55:35
  Speaker 10: there's nothing like October.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I hope that was real. There's nothing like an October
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: when you're off for the entire month.
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: So the no time like October, Izzy, everybody is wearing
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: those this postseason. So the Red Sox just got a
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: little unlucky when their season ended. I'm assuming the Cubs
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: were also wearing them.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, but have some awareness, all right?
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 55:55
  Speaker 10: If you are potentially going out in two out of
• 55:58
  Speaker 10: three game series, a three game series, and go out
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: potentially in two games, don't wear those if it's still September.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: If there's a chance you're not making it. Exactly.
• 56:07
  Speaker 10: Don't wear those until October. Just say, you know what, guys?
• 56:09
  Speaker 10: We're going to have to go with another slogan because
• 56:11
  Speaker 10: this one doesn't work for us yet.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: Let's go with the October shirts when we make it
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: to October. Right.
• 56:18
  Speaker 10: So, yes, I will give that's MLB's fault for doing
• 56:20
  Speaker 10: that because there were going to be teams that.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Were out before October. Right. But it's such a great
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: look for the Red Sox.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: We do have some great Red Sox sound for you
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: that we'll play coming up in the next segment to
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: answer some of your questions that you had for Taylor.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: What do you have, Taylor?
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, Izzy, I've been floating high ever since the Yankees
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: knocked out the Red Sox. Just the fashion that they
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: were able to eliminate them. Like going into the series,
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: Mikey called it a lose-lose for the Yankees because he
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: thought the Yankees were so overwhelmingly better than the Red
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: Sox that if they beat them, it would just be
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: like ho-hum, like you're supposed to beat them.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: No, there's always something a little extra about beating the
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: Boston Red Sox. And there used to be a time
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: where it felt like the Red Sox had the Yankees
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: number in the postseason. And the moment it changed was 2004,
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: where the Red Sox kind of flipped the script on
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: the Yankees. The past two seasons, the fact that the
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: Yankees have been the ones that sent the Red Sox
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: packing in the wildcard series, it's poetic for me.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Izzy, you'll laugh at this. Taylor's trying to get a
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: ticket for the game. It's in Tampa. It's about a
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: three and a half, four hour drive. How much are
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: the tickets going for?
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Because I think Taylor was telling me earlier, correct me
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, Taylor, The tickets are more expensive at
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the Trop than they are at Yankee Stadium.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: What? Is he?
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: No.
• 57:35
  Speaker 6: There are so many Yankee fans in Tampa and South
• 57:37
  Speaker 6: Florida that the tickets are more expensive in Tropicana. It's
• 57:41
  Speaker 6: like a $ 100 difference right now where I think Game 3,
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: the get-in price at Yankee Stadium is like $ 100, and
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: the get-in price at Tropicana is about $ 200. Stu, the
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: Rays manager, Kevin Cash, he was talking about Game 1
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: against the Yankees, and he said— It's a.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Great name, by the way. Kevin Cash. Oh, it's awesome.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: For these expensive tickets. Yes.
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: So game one against the Yankees will be the first
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: sellout at Tropicana Field since he became the manager in 2015.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: What?
• 58:08
  Speaker 6: And he said, I'm really excited to see our fans
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: fill this place up.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: For the first time. I hate to break it all.
• 58:14
  Speaker 6: It's not his fans.
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: It's Yankee fans.
• 58:19
  Speaker 10: That fits into my personal war with Tampa. The Tampa
• 58:22
  Speaker 10: doesn't know they're warring with me. But that's absolutely amazing.
• 58:26
  Speaker 10: I used to think that it was just South Florida
• 58:28
  Speaker 10: that had all the New York fans. But, yeah, Tampa,
• 58:30
  Speaker 10: now that you think about it, has so many of them.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Didn't Tampa win a World Series since 2015?
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: No.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: They made it to a World Series?
• 58:37
  Speaker 6: They've made it to a World Series. I don't remember
• 58:39
  Speaker 6: the time frame. I believe the Phillies beat them.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: All right, but Kevin Cash has won, like, multiple divisions there.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: He's never seen the drop packed. I mean, that's odd
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: It's not a great park. Oh, it's all. I told
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: Taylor not to go.
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: So you are right, Stu. They made the World Series
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: in 2020. They lost to the Dodgers, the COVID World Series, too.
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: And then they lost in 2008 to the Phillies.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: So through all that, he's yet to see a packed
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: house at the Trump, right?
• 59:04
  Speaker 6: Well, 2020 was the COVID one, so I'm sure there weren't.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: They weren't allowed to go, right? That's unfortunate. It was
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: as packed as it could be, literally.
• 59:13
  Speaker 10: Taylor, when you get there, tell me if you think
• 59:15
  Speaker 10: everything in that park just looks extra orange.
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: Have you been to that park?
• 59:20
  Speaker 10: I mean, it was still a park when I covered, right?
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: They were playing there in 2000 when I covered the Marlins.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: And so, yeah, I remember it very well.
• 59:28
  Speaker 10: And everything just looks like an odd, it looks like
• 59:30
  Speaker 10: you're wearing orange sunglasses as you're watching.
• 59:33
  Speaker 6: So I texted a friend asking, because he lives in Tampa,
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: and he was asking if I've ever been to the Tropa.
• 59:37
  Speaker 6: And I said, no. And he goes, it's an absolute dump.
• 59:40
  Speaker 6: It's like they're playing baseball inside of Chuck E.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: Cheese. Enjoy yourself.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: That is 877-99. 99 on Fox.
• 59:49
  Speaker 10: Small side note, that World Series, the COVID one, was
• 59:52
  Speaker 10: played in Texas.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: In Arlington? Arlington, Texas, yes.
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: From a Dolphins fan?
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Marlins or Yankees?
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Let's do, for Ricky Mantle, as a Yankee fan, would
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: he sit through four consecutive Red Sox World Series if
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: it meant the Yankees were going to win one guaranteed?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Not a chance, Stu. Right. Not a chance.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: As a lifelong Yankees fan, never.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: All right, now stay there. Now let's ask Ricardo.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Would he be okay if the Mets, let's say, won
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: four consecutive World Series and the Marlins were guaranteed to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: win the fifth season? No.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: No, I would not like it.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 6: But thankfully, that's not even possible.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: Were you alive in 03? I mean, do you remember 03? Yeah,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: I remember 03. Okay.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: Of course, Beckett going in game six and shutting them
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 7: out in Yankee Stadium.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, if you weren't alive in 03, that means you're
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: 23 years old, right?
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't be strange, yes. What about from a Dolphins perspective, Ricardo?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: Would you sign up for four straight Super Bowls from
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: the Jets if it meant the Dolphins won?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: Wow. Because that's a Jets dynasty. I mean, no one
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: wants that.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: Especially down here in South Florida.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: If you think we're loud and obnoxious without winning anything,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: wait until we win something.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: That parade in Boca would sweep the streets. So, as
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 6: much as I would love to see the Dolphins win
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 6: a Super Bowl, it's this, like you said, the obnoxious
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 6: Jets fan.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: I can't handle it. I can't handle it. For four years. Yeah,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: I couldn't handle it when you guys won the AFC championship.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: Forget about it.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Four consecutive Jets Super Bowls is a nightmare for every
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: other fan base.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's the team in sports that all the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: other fan bases root for the least.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: They don't want to see it. We're loud.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: We're obnoxious when we're bad. Imagine when we're good, Mikey.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: And not only good, dynasty good.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: See, I think we would be peak bad, peak obnoxious
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: year one.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: I think after that, it just coasts. All right.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: We thought about that longer than I thought we would
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: think about it, if that makes sense. I'm dying to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: know what's in the holster. Might be next Thursday. Might
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: not be. I want to know what's in that holster. Mikey,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: do you want to know what's in the holster?
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to know what's in the holster. Just
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: give us a little sneak peek. Just something.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 6: You're starting a team in the NFL, non-quarterback. Who do
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: you pick?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: That's sports radio.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. That's having one in the holster. That's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: what it is.
