- 1:59Guy's great? Yeah, that's what's going on. Big day in sports.
- 2:05Oh yeah, and we got some pretty good topics and then some All
- 2:08right, Jacob, I can't wait to be talking about tonight because I get
- 2:13myself out of work and there's three huge deals to talk about it. I
- 2:15knew we're going a big day. Yeah. You know, John Sheer,
- 2:21I could have sworn that you're probably actually on this show because for some reason,
- 2:23I think you're taking a mind reading class. History is yeah, but
- 2:30I'll get to that in the moment, John, But you're going to put
- 2:31you in the GMG A category a great mind stick away. But that said,
- 2:35my colleague for the last forty plusures. Who's counting after all this time?
- 2:38George Iikorn, the other author here, Welcome back to good Lord.
- 2:44Looking forward to the show, and I'm so happy I got this in the
- 2:46mail. Great read. We'll talk more about it later, you bet we
- 2:52will, all right, Well, Joe alluded to the fact that we have
- 2:55a lot going on. But before we go to some of the other news,
- 2:59I want to talk about one particular game that probably unless you're going to
- 3:04sports far, you're not gonna see it at home. It's the Kansas City
- 3:07Chiefs against the Miami Dolphins or playoff games available on Peacock. There's no local
- 3:10TV even for us here in South Florida, and as a result, Amazon
- 3:16is paying one hundred and ten million dollars to the NFL, which is a
- 3:20miles of about three million perteen And an interesting fact about this game is the
- 3:24game will be played in five degree weather and the Miami Dolphins are zero to
- 3:28ten when game time temperatures are forty degrees or less. So I'm gonna start
- 3:36with George Eikorn. We have two things that are gonna allude to the dolphins
- 3:40will be ice fishing and have a feeling they may be fishing for some problems
- 3:46with those temperatures. There have to use ice fishing in there because a lot
- 3:49of us are from up north and we know what it is. George,
- 3:53talk about the coult weather game, and then we're gonna talk about streaming and
- 3:55that one hundred and ten million dollars a peacock is going to get to do
- 3:59this. Yeah, yeah, they're the nation has obviously seen a lot of
- 4:03bad weather this week and it's going to continue as you mentioned, going into
- 4:08this weekend. So obviously outdoors in Kansas City, the Chiefs really didn't want
- 4:15this. They wanted to get a first round by. Let's not kid ourselves.
- 4:18Most people thought they probably would get a first round by, but they
- 4:23just have been sort of a roller coaster mini roller coaster season. The dolphins
- 4:28the same way. You know, they're either hot or cold, and pardon
- 4:31the pun, they will be very cold this weekend. It's interesting that stat
- 4:35that you came up with, Scott. That's that speaks a lot about how
- 4:41they adapt to outdoor temperatures because it doesn't bode well for them. But hey,
- 4:46look, you know they're strapping it on both teams and the score of
- 4:50zero to zero when when the place, when the kickoff occurs, I for
- 4:56one, am not happy, but this is sort of the wave of the
- 4:58future and the in the streaming department. To answer the second part of your
- 5:01question, I don't have Peacock and I'm not going to put up the money
- 5:05right away to have it. This game is a very important game, but
- 5:12I just I think they're really limiting their audience. Let's just leave it at
- 5:15that. I think NBC really and the networks. Uh, the NFL obviously
- 5:19had approved all this, and and this is something that a little bit of
- 5:23a direction they're going. It's going to be a good test pace for them,
- 5:27obviously, but they are going to lose a lot of viewers by not
- 5:30making it available for over the are television. And by the way, that's
- 5:33the game that will not be available this weekend. Right, So George,
- 5:40I'm a signing you chat room? Did he so tonight? So Candy and
- 5:43then George is going to un rapid fire. Yeah, John, you know
- 5:46the Dolphins run the ball better than almost anyone. That that's good. Thank
- 5:50you for contributing one two above the spots. Yeah, yeah, we talked
- 5:57about coaches with a lot of money. He's one of the greatest coaches in
- 6:00NBA history. Of course, we're referring to spots for of the Miami Heats.
- 6:03Peacock is brokes ahead. Butch Davis, good to see you, my
- 6:05friend. While forty four mile an hour wins. Good luck, good luck
- 6:14to all the players in that kind of weather condition. I would say good
- 6:16luck to the kickers. Yeah for sure. All right, well you know
- 6:21what, and over to Joe listen, Miami mayboh and ten. But guess
- 6:29what, it's zero zero when the game starts. John said it best.
- 6:32They run the ball better than any team. This is not the same Kansas
- 6:36City Chiefs team that we see in the past. Their receivers can't catch a
- 6:41cole Travis Kelcey is too busy figuring out when Taylor Swift's going on tour in
- 6:46the offseason and if he can travel with her. So you know, Dolphins
- 6:49is going to win this game. The fact that it's on Peacock. Listen,
- 6:54I get that this is the future. Everything's going to streaming, but
- 6:58this is the NFL. It's wrong in so many ways. You know,
- 7:02I hope that the NFL got a revenue share deal for whoever signs up for
- 7:09Peacock during this week, because I'm sure I NBC right now is rake into
- 7:13the money for people that are are signed up this week. But you know,
- 7:18is it good for the NFL? I don't really think so. I'd
- 7:21rather do a pay per view, you know, throw it for five at
- 7:25ida and if you want to watch the game, you pay for it,
- 7:28so at least everyone would have the option but to throw it straight on streaming.
- 7:32You know, I think this is a bad look, and for the
- 7:36playoffs at least, I don't like it. Regular season, you want to
- 7:40do something like this, who cares that? You know, I'm not sure
- 7:43in the local markets. I know, usually the local markets, they'll throw
- 7:46it on a local channel when something like this happens. I sure hope they're
- 7:49doing that because otherwise that's just a travesty. Now totally, and I know
- 7:56I will say this much. So that's the Miami Dolphins didn't want to play
- 8:01in this weather. Joe and the rest of you guys. All they had
- 8:03to do was beat Buffalo on Sunday and they didn't do it. So unfortunately
- 8:07for the Dolphins, when you don't beat the Buffalo Bills at hard Rock Stadium.
- 8:13You made your bed and you're going to sleep in a very cold one
- 8:16out in Kansas City, that's for sure, So goad. So who's next,
- 8:22Candy, Candy? I hope ratings are down for this game and that
- 8:26they don't do it again. And Butcher is quoting us a price here our
- 8:31friend in Detroit, Peacock is five ninety ninety. Yeah, there you go.
- 8:37They're not doing local what we've seen. That's right, Candy, they're
- 8:41not. Peacock made one hundred and ten million, John says, broadcast this
- 8:43game exclusible universal, NBC universally, Yeah, one hundred ten million. Even
- 8:50the NFL, thank you, Dave Bradley iron exempt from progress. It's business
- 8:54and it's money. Okay, well, Jacob, you've got a lot more
- 9:00effects than any the other guys. Yet, Dave's got it right. It's
- 9:03nice, Candy. Even if it bombed, there is gonna keep going.
- 9:07They're gonna run it through, They're gonna cut the cut the court. Eventually,
- 9:13streaming is the future. But as far as the game goes, and
- 9:16John, you are completely correct. They can run that ball like crazy.
- 9:20They got two or three different runners Miami does Casey, this can be an
- 9:22upset, This really can't. I mean, you got Matt Nagy and then
- 9:28you've got Matt Nagan and he can't run a scheme to save his life.
- 9:31And then and then you've got wide receivers that cannot they can't catch a ball.
- 9:35So it's gonna be all up and you've got to hope that they catch
- 9:39it. But it's all up to Mahomes. It's gonna be a very cold
- 9:41dame. That's gonna be a big time deal. Miami can easily run that.
- 9:46And here's the big thing. They don't have to throw it long to
- 9:50Tyreek Hill here. They don't have to. They don't have to be able
- 9:54to do this because they can also do those slamt patterns. They can do
- 9:56those screens and can go forever. And that's that's the big thing. That
- 10:01can be a very big that can absolutely be an upset game because k C
- 10:05is vulnerable. I mean they're very much so. So I can absolutely see
- 10:09this, and we're gonna see this more and more. We'll see two or
- 10:11three of those games next year too. Okay, that's cool, but I
- 10:16mean, you're uyam here casey is to get the game in your NBC station.
- 10:18That's good, but you're going to see two or three games next year
- 10:22on Peacock or just streaming rain at that they're going toward this now, that's
- 10:26just what it is, you know. But I didn't see it on our
- 10:30NBC station, So maybe we'll have to go ahead and look it over and
- 10:31see if that's true. If it isn't, it would be great. But
- 10:35Scott just interjected that that's perfectly fine if if they put it on the local
- 10:41channels. You know, for the teams, I can deal with the stream
- 10:45I think I can live with it, because you know what if I don't
- 10:48live in Miami and I'm a dolphin fed, oh well, I gotta pay
- 10:52for you know, the direct TV thing anyway or now YouTube whatever we're on
- 10:56because we're't streaming anyway because of YouTube. So I could deal with that.
- 11:01But you know, for the local fan, you should have to be inconvenience,
- 11:05especially. I mean, imagine, if you live in Miami, he
- 11:07receives a ticket holder, so you go to eight or nine games now,
- 11:09and then you get to the playoffs and you gotta go buy Peacock. Even
- 11:13though a lot of people have it. You know, it's still as long
- 11:16as it's a free game for the locals. I think it's okay. Hey,
- 11:20Joe, you know what, I couldn't agree with you more, I
- 11:22really do. I mean, you want to charge the other markets going in,
- 11:24but Kansas City or Miami, I don't think so. So you fall
- 11:28into GMTA great mind stinking like Joe, I want to thank the participation of
- 11:33John Sheared, Dave Bradley, Butch Davis, Denzil Snipes, and obviously Candyambling.
- 11:37I really love when a chat room is just active for sure, and
- 11:41we'll keep it rolling with that. Thanks for everybody out there. But Joe,
- 11:43you're one hundred percent right, you know. I mean I have a
- 11:48problem with playoff games myself being streamed during the regular season. So we'll see
- 11:54how it plays out. You know, this is a one time shot and
- 11:56we're going to find out exactly where the monetary implications are there. As far
- 12:01as Kansas City, You're right, Joe, they're not the same team that
- 12:05obviously they were when they won the Super Bowl. But Miami again controlled their
- 12:09own destiny to keep it home, and unfortunately, the Buffalo Bills are a
- 12:13hot football team, and Miami's on the road because of it. So and
- 12:18we all know that the Miami Dolphins struggles sometimes in December and January. We'll
- 12:22see whether this is something that continues to obviously bother the South Florida fans in
- 12:28this particular market. All right, well, obviously we do have some big
- 12:33news today, and let's get right to it. We're gonna talk about a
- 12:35tale of two coaches that are in their seventies. Pete Carroll is out as
- 12:39the Seahawks coach after fourteen seasons. Does win a Super Bowl there? He's
- 12:43seventy two years old. Nick Saban seventy two, completed seventeenth season and Alabama's
- 12:48retiring. And you know, again, he won seven national championships in college.
- 12:54And I have a feeling that the NIL and the transfer portal definitely frustrated
- 12:58the daylights out of them. So with that said, okay, Joe,
- 13:03two coaches in their seventies. Are they getting ADARP discounts or are they just
- 13:09sped up and looking for new challenge or are they really really? I know
- 13:11that Carol will be an advisor to the Seahawks, but we'll see how long
- 13:16that plays out. So go ahead, Joe. So with Sable, let's
- 13:20start with him. I think that, unfortunately, the transfer portal was his
- 13:24demise. He obviously knows how to recruit. He was one of the best
- 13:28recruiters there are in college football. Always had top notch talent. But unfortunately
- 13:35kids come in and their second third string and they're leaving, and you can't
- 13:39blame them. You know, why do you want to sit on the bench
- 13:41and you can go to another top school and transfer. You don't have the
- 13:43same implications you had a few years ago because the way the transfer portal is
- 13:48different now. So I think that is the demise to Dick Saban's career.
- 13:54Still a great coach, you know, great recruiter. Kids say anything bad
- 13:58about the guy, Alabama's gonna miss him. Alabama will still be a decent
- 14:03team, but it's not gonna be the same because you can't replace a guy
- 14:07like Nick Saban. You know, there's nobody out there that you're gonna be
- 14:11able to bring it and say, you know, that's the next Nick Saban.
- 14:13No, he's one of a kuid Pete Carroll on the other head,
- 14:18great players coach, not the best coach in the world, but players loved
- 14:22him. You know, he knew how to win, won a super Bowl,
- 14:28won in college. Just a great guy, all around guy. Totally
- 14:31different personalities. Nick Saban's kind of more like the Bill Belichick type, more
- 14:37stoic and not much personality. Pete Carroll very friendly and warm. Uh you
- 14:43know, I talked to Pete before. Nice one of the nicest guys in
- 14:46the world. Got to love him. All right, Well, it's an
- 14:52interesting timent, Joe, you want to go ahead and answer this one.
- 14:56Would you be opposed to be being Carroll taming up in Seattle? Yeah?
- 15:03I don't think that that would be a good match. I don't think Belichick
- 15:07wants to go to Seattle. I don't think he wants to be a coordinator.
- 15:11I think if he's going somewhere, he's going to uh to Los Angeles.
- 15:18I think that's his next next place of employment. Believe it or not,
- 15:22I actually think a good fit for Belichick with the Atlanta they can get
- 15:26the quarterback, right, We'll see how it plays out. He's not unemployed
- 15:31yet, but who knows. Could be a breaking story that we talked about
- 15:33in next week's Sports Exchange. So all right, so all right, go
- 15:39ahead, George, Well you know, it's funny about Saban because when I
- 15:45was watching that game against Michigan, he just didn't have the same enthusiasm.
- 15:50He just looked like he was dragging a bit on the sidelines, And of
- 15:54course, you know that's that was a very important game and his obviously his
- 15:58team wasn't performing as well as he wanted. They lost to Michigan and the
- 16:02semi finals there at the Rolls Bowl. But he just looked drained to me.
- 16:07So this doesn't come as a total surprise. He's had a fantastic career.
- 16:11I mean, my goodness, all the championships and seventeen seasons at Alabama,
- 16:15and I mean he's seventy two years old, and I'm sure his wife
- 16:18has probably said, hey, honey, what are we going to be able
- 16:22to spend some more time together as opposed to you running this almost twenty four
- 16:26to seven operation, which, as you know, you guys know, I
- 16:29don't have to tell you that all our listeners know too. It's a thankless
- 16:33job of being a head football coach, especially for college. And you're right,
- 16:37JB. Good point about the portal and the guys that are leaving and
- 16:41guys that he cannot retain like he used to. Well, we all know
- 16:45that it's just been a factory obviously for Alabama players to get into the NFL.
- 16:49So it's not that they retained them all four years, but at least
- 16:52they would have been just staying there for you know, two, perhaps even
- 16:56a stretch three year some of the stars. But doesn't total surprise me.
- 17:00But he's a great coach. He cemented himself obviously as a Hall of Famer,
- 17:06no question about it. Pete Carroll. I've always admired Pete Carroll.
- 17:08He's done a good job. You know, the only won one title in
- 17:12Seattle. Obviously, he and the ownership and the fans probably thought they should
- 17:18have done better, and they really should have, especially when Russell Wilson was
- 17:22at his prime. But they've always had good contending teams. They've given fits
- 17:26to the Detroit Lions. My god, they've had the Lions number the last
- 17:30several seasons Seattle. That being said, again, Pete's a good guy.
- 17:36Rubbed some people the wrong way, of course, a little bit, you
- 17:40know, a little prickly attitude sometimes, but you know, from the college
- 17:45ranks to the NFL, he's done good well for himself. But again,
- 17:48he doesn't have a whole lot of championships to speak of, but I'm not
- 17:52totally surprised by that one either. There's a lot of movement going on right
- 17:55now, and of course the big one is going to be what is Jim
- 17:57Harbaugh going to decide? And that's going to be like, uh, you
- 18:02know, I could have a domino effect depending on what he decides to do.
- 18:04So it's a it's an interesting topic. And obviously, like you said,
- 18:08Scott, uh, there's a lot of stuff happening right now with this
- 18:12coaching carousel. Well done, all right, Jacob, Well let me say
- 18:18this part. It's John what you're bringing up with the bringing the front office
- 18:22and everything Carroll front office, baby, full control too, great minds now,
- 18:26because the reason is the Pete Carroll's going to be is the modern day
- 18:32I'm not talking about winning wise, I'm talking about personality wise. He's the
- 18:34modern day Lombardi. Modern day as in they all had this crazy energy to
- 18:41constantly move on everything. Right. Remind you, Lombardi died at fifty seven,
- 18:45so he got the last sover. But what I mean by modern day
- 18:49Lombardi is the fact that he's going to get into that front office. He's
- 18:53going to get depressed. His personality and his energy does not allow for an
- 18:57office job. He's not going to like it. He's a guy and he
- 19:00still serfs at seventy years old, seventy two years old. He has all
- 19:04this crazy and he works out and he's in great shape. He's got all
- 19:07this crazy energy. He's not gonna want to be there. He's gonna be
- 19:11gone from Seattle within a year. He's gonna find a new team, and
- 19:14he's gonna keep it going until he has no more energy. So there's that.
- 19:17But as far as Belichick and say, but I could see them go
- 19:21finding a beach house together and write in the world's greatest coaching book that even
- 19:26beats out Bill Walsh, and you know, the hundred page thing. He's
- 19:30gonna they're gonna do that, and it's gonna be an old Unlike the Walsh
- 19:33book, though he sold forty eight thousand, this one's gonna sell millions because
- 19:37everybody, because everybody, this is a different world now, all right,
- 19:42So Jacob, let me ask you a quick question. I thought I did,
- 19:45but I want to make sure you did have a chance to chime in
- 19:48on the Kansas City topic. Is that correct? Oh, yes, I
- 19:52sure did. Okay, just making sure. I want to make sure everybody
- 19:53gets the opportunity. The only thing I can say about this is, we
- 19:56know how hard it was for Bear Bryant to be replaced, you know what
- 20:02I would say, And those times it's easier to replace a legend because there
- 20:06was less moving parts than you have now, you know, and it's just
- 20:10a totally different animal. But bear in mind, you know when Baron Bryant
- 20:14left, they went through quite a few coaches. When you think of Ray
- 20:17Perkins as the first one that followed, and then you'll ultimately brought in Gene
- 20:22Stallings, then you'll eventually landed Saban. So it's not an easy job to
- 20:27definitely go out there and Phil. It'll be interesting to see how it plays
- 20:32out, that's for sure. So all right, well, if everybody got
- 20:36their two cents on this, just want to make sure on this, right,
- 20:38yep, yep, very good. All right, Well let's talk about
- 20:41something John Sheer brought up earlier. We're going to bring it up now.
- 20:45The Mini Heat coach Eric Spolstrow is only fifty three years old, mind you,
- 20:52has reported that they've given him an eight year, one hundred and twenty
- 20:56million dollars cension to coach Eric Spolstro seven five and five h six and is
- 21:02taking over for pat Riley. He has six finals appearances and won back to
- 21:10back titles in twelve and thirteen. Can I make it an easy question for
- 21:12everybody? Okay, start with you, Joe at the top. Is Eric
- 21:17Spolsraw worth the money? Well, listen, He's one of the best coaches
- 21:22in the NBA. He came from a video coordinator, he worked his way
- 21:26up. Got to congratulate the man for getting paid. He's earned it.
- 21:30He deserves to get his money. I don't give him credit for all his
- 21:37final appearances. That was back in the day when you know, Lebron was
- 21:41there, and to me, that was it. I didn't have much to
- 21:45do with his coaching. But his coaching is on display in the last few
- 21:49years and he's proven that he's one of the best of the game. Right,
- 21:53Okay, fair enough, Jacob. One of the greatest things I love
- 21:57about this story is that Pat pat Riley is the man. He is the
- 22:02coolest old man in the league by Miles. Let me say but this way,
- 22:06one of the stories here's a little addendum to that story by get one
- 22:08hundred and twenty million. They waited until the finalized of his divorce happened.
- 22:15Then they got him the money. They waited. They waited until the finalized
- 22:21that she couldn't get any of it. Pat knows the drill. Pat understands.
- 22:26So I love him for it. I don't know that that's pretty cool.
- 22:30That is pretty cool. She waited and got it to it. Yeah,
- 22:33exactly. No, he's one of the He is one of the greats
- 22:37of the game. He really is. And you want to know the thing
- 22:40about Miami, you talk about heat culture and everything like that, they have
- 22:42the coolest coach. They have the coolest own, coolest president with Pat Riley.
- 22:48That man is silver Fox with the tan still in shape, the spolstress
- 22:56still in shape. There's a there is a standard in Miami. If your
- 23:00coaches in tape, you're oh, your president looks good and stays in shape,
- 23:06you better go out there and work. So I love it for Miami.
- 23:10I have a bit of respect for Miami. They expect you to win,
- 23:14they expect greatness, and so that's what I love about that team.
- 23:18It's like and the Miami Dolphins don't get there soon itself. We tell you
- 23:22they're a great owner of Mickey Erison and of all the four franchises major ones,
- 23:26of course you can add enter Miami because they're really starting to make noise
- 23:29too. Miami Heater unquestionably in a class by themselves as the best one of
- 23:33any of them. And when you think of how few coaches they've gone through,
- 23:37how many players numbers are retired. I remember when the Pistons were playing
- 23:41good basketball. I go down to there in a lot and it was great
- 23:45there. They built a good stadium right by bayside, which is right near
- 23:48the cruise ships. So Miami Heat are of all the four by major sports
- 23:53team, they're number one, and you can put whoever you want after that.
- 23:57But the Heater in a class all by himselves for sure. Okay,
- 24:00George, Well, yeah, he's won two NBA championships. I've always admired
- 24:07him. He's done a great job. He's lost four NBA finals, if
- 24:11you guys might recall, and it has been what eleven years or so since
- 24:18since the he delivered on a championship. But all that being said, he
- 24:23is really a good class guy. I really have admired him over the years.
- 24:29To two things that are kind of linked in history for him to me
- 24:33is, you know, his connection to Detroit. He his grandfather was one
- 24:38of the best sports writers we ever had here in Detroit, Watson Spoltstra for
- 24:44the Detroit News. And on a sad note, you guys might recall that
- 24:48he was just a couple of yards away, unfortunately, when Hank Gathers collapsed
- 24:55and died of a heart condition, Spoltzer was there, obviously on the floor
- 25:00at that time, you know, a couple of yards away from that.
- 25:03I think it was a basketball tournament game against Loyola Marrimount. But on an
- 25:10upside, obviously, if you're gonna give that money to somebody very well deserving,
- 25:15and I'm happy for him. I mean, you know, you don't
- 25:18usually throw that kind of money around. Money. William's got a whole bonelet
- 25:22of money in the off season, as we know, and that has not
- 25:25been working out so far. But here's a guy that really deserved it.
- 25:29Scott. I admire Eric's boltstrend, what he's done with the heat. Yeah.
- 25:34The only thing I'll say I've loved everybody else said I even heard it
- 25:37was Steinen a smith and a bunch of other people. Harrik Spolestro deserves every
- 25:42nickel that he gets. He doesn't take shortcumes, he doesn't achieve the system.
- 25:45He works his tail off big time. So Spall, I'm glad that
- 25:51you got the money, but it's well deserved. Period, we're going to
- 25:57talk about a little bit of hockey. But darn will miss six to eight
- 26:02weeks due to a fractured jaw and we'll miss the All Star Game. So
- 26:06George, we'll start at the top. How important of a loss is it
- 26:10not for the Chicago Blackhouse with the NHL. Well, yeah, I mean,
- 26:15you know you're trying to if you're sitting in Gary Bettman's seat in the
- 26:21nf NHL office, you try to get as many superstars as you can in
- 26:27front of the national audience. So obviously it is a little bit of a
- 26:30blow to to the NHL. Obviously Chicago. The game's being played in Toronto.
- 26:38It hasn't been in Toronto in quite a number of years. The NHL
- 26:41All Star weekend in February, so I mean they'll still go ahead with the
- 26:45festivities, and of course, you know, one player doesn't stop the show
- 26:49from going on. As they say. But yeah, hockey's going to miss
- 26:53him. He's he's done quite well this year already as a rookie and certainly
- 26:59has all the tools I think to be one of the best players for a
- 27:04long long time in the NHL. Connor Bedard has got the uh. He's
- 27:10got the uh. He's got the drive and the desire and the and the
- 27:14athletic ability to be a star for a long long time in the league.
- 27:18And it's just a temporary thing. Obviously. You don't wish him ill will
- 27:22at all, even though you might be rooting for your own local team to
- 27:26beat him and beat his black Hawks, but they've been down for a long
- 27:30time. And I mean, if you want to turn one of these cities
- 27:32around, and we've talked about this before, as you guys know, the
- 27:34original six is such an important part of the NHL's history in Chicago is one
- 27:41of those franchises, unlike Detroit and the Rangers, Boston, Montreal, Toronto,
- 27:45et cetera, that you want to succeed because they have a lot of
- 27:49pedigree, a lot of hockey love going on right there, and John says,
- 27:56god, Kayanes, okay, oh oh, he still hasn't forgiven the
- 28:00red weeks for that Stanley Cup against us. Well, hey, I'm going
- 28:06to make an offer to John Sheer, and I don't think anybody would problem
- 28:10reach out to JV or myself. You want to come on the show,
- 28:12We're always looking for a fifth person. John, You're welcome anytime. I'm
- 28:15very eternally grateful because you helped me get comfortable with stream Yard. Now I'm
- 28:19the one who's moderating, so you can come on and join us as we
- 28:25bring in four to five people on a given night. So John think about
- 28:26it. Let JV or myself know and we'll dial you in for a night.
- 28:30All right. With that said, Connor Bodard obviously one of the top
- 28:34young players in the National Hockey League, okay, and he's the face of
- 28:40the league. Is just unfortunately that jaw injury, okay, there's nothing to
- 28:47feel good about. Please, folks, let me humble myself. If I
- 28:51ever had a jaw injury, what would be left to me? I can't
- 28:52handle that. Man. You can six and stone may break my bone,
- 28:56but don't mess around with my jaw. Oh my goodness, I can handle
- 29:00a lot, but not that. You can still drink your soda. Yeah,
- 29:06yeah, all for all those people that are on liquid diets out there.
- 29:10You let me know about that. But you know what, with all
- 29:11due respect Connor, but Dart is what the NHL needs, he really does.
- 29:15You know, get well soon. But let me tell you when you
- 29:18have a fracture jaw, I'm even hurt. A lot of people that you
- 29:25know had their jaw wired and that's not my style. And you're welcome John
- 29:29anytime. Hopefully we can make it happen. All right, since everybody spoken,
- 29:33Okay, we'll check something out there. Well yeah, I mean,
- 29:38it's unfortunate anytime one of the young stars and Eddie Lee gets hurt, especially
- 29:45on a team that is rebuilding and it's fun to watch. I want to
- 29:49know who I need to contact to get refunds for the tickets I have upcoming.
- 29:53Yah, I'm just playing it. I'm going to a game in a
- 29:56next week. But that's part of sports. Unfortunately. It's the bad part
- 30:03of sports that these guys are out there playing their hardest and they get injured,
- 30:07you know, whether it be you know, for example, a j.
- 30:11Brown hurt his knee. It met life last week and we talked about
- 30:15it last night. At Sideline Sports and the met life turf is horrible and
- 30:18there's more knee injuries there than anywhere else. Those are preventable injuries. And
- 30:23hockey when is Joe, I'm sure it wasn't something that was preventable. It's
- 30:26part of the game, and it's the worst part of the game because you
- 30:30know, you look at guys like Eric Lindros who had concussion problems when he
- 30:34was one of the young stars of the game and was helping, you know,
- 30:37bring eyes to the NHL. It's just it's the unfortunate part of sports,
- 30:42you know, to get these athletes go out there give one hundred and
- 30:45ten percent, and sometimes things happen and their bodies get injured and they have
- 30:51to they have to sit out for a while and we get to miss something
- 30:55special. Yeah. Good point. I want you to read this comment like
- 31:00thated FedEx field the two worst, and I'm gonna say, told your fields
- 31:04up there at least it's grass, yeah yeah, but it's yeah, but
- 31:11the Chicago Park District doesn't. Yeah. But let me tell you this though,
- 31:15Jacob. Anytime you're dealing with a situation where you're dealing with mainly turf
- 31:18versus field, turf and grass. That's a different animal, you know.
- 31:22And there you go, John Cher. Remember they're human, they aren't robots.
- 31:26Okay, good point. And the only robot I mentioned on punning punt
- 31:32was one over in Lost in Space. So for a lot of the people
- 31:34out there watching, I'm sure you remember Lost in Space. Well, Robinson,
- 31:40doctor Zachary Smith, I forget it now. I now I'm having uh
- 31:44a disease called dumb mensia spelled the U M B and the T I A.
- 31:48And that's something I made by the way up, so you won't find
- 31:49it. What's addiction? You having three of our viewers to get that reference
- 31:55there, that's okay, there you go earlier. And I only built that
- 32:01one off of John Sheer and he brought up the robots comments. So there
- 32:06you go, John Google of Loss in Space and maybe somebody will see a
- 32:09rerun once in a while and then come back to me. All right,
- 32:13well this will one go ahead, Jacob. Yeah, I didn't get to
- 32:15say about Jacono. That's all right. I played played hockey three years,
- 32:21nothing big. I wasn't the greatest nowhere near. But but the thing about
- 32:24it that I did from the beginning is. I had just gotten it after
- 32:27I'd gotten a braces off right after that. So guess what I put the
- 32:30mask on? I put the mask on. I was the only one out
- 32:34there, played mask, got in front of a few times, did not
- 32:37care. Guess what see these see these nice but choppers. Yeah, it's
- 32:43a long term, nice term. It's like I would have gotten a tea.
- 32:45And it's like, you want to know something. The way they make
- 32:47those of sticks fly around more than happy, I'd be more than that.
- 32:52Here's the thing. You're still gonna be a tough guy because you're still gonna
- 32:54take body shots. You're still gonna take a lot of things on that the
- 33:00face because the AHL has enough trouble getting people there. You're getting getting the
- 33:06names of the faces of the league right now that you want to keep those
- 33:09good choppers. You want to keep it out there. Put the masks on
- 33:14on these on these helmets, put the masks on these elements and protect these
- 33:16kids because we're going to see the putts flying in the face next. We're
- 33:21going to see a lot that. I'm sorry, it's like, maybe you
- 33:23think I'm being weak, but the NHL needs to promote themselves. So if
- 33:29you want to keep them healthy. Well, let me give you a story
- 33:31back in the day, in the eighties, and I had a good fortune
- 33:36of interviewing a guy by the name of Jacques Plant many years ago when he
- 33:39was with the Montreal Canadians, and everybody knows that. You know, he
- 33:44played with the Toronto Mapleys, and he's a guy that invented the mask,
- 33:47and that was unbelievable at the time that I had a chance of Jacques to
- 33:51Jacques Blant, the guy who's actually the inventor of the mask, thanks much,
- 33:54appreciate you, uh said nice. So yeah, Jacob, I can
- 33:58see some validation of the mask, but you know, on broken jaws of
- 34:02broken jaw or fractured or whatever you want to call but Jacques Flant, I
- 34:07hope a lot of people that are whether you're young or old, would have
- 34:10an opportunity to google Jacques Plant, because he was a guy that really everybody
- 34:14said, why did you go ahead and put a mask on? And all
- 34:16of a sudden came a safety thing that ultimately everybody ended up doing it.
- 34:21And one of the last guys that finally put a mask on George and I
- 34:23know him real well, I mean we never met him or no of him.
- 34:27His guy the name of Joe Daily, yeahs back in the day.
- 34:32But John, look you look back on those old scenes. You're right,
- 34:36Scott. You know you got Gump Worsley with no mask on, great Goldie
- 34:39from Montreal. I mean he can go down the line and Roger c Yeah,
- 34:45I mean it's amazing. You know, there was a picture once of
- 34:49Ted Lindsay and they showed a picture of him with all the scars all over
- 34:52his face. They put little x's on a picture of his face, and
- 34:57you'd be amazed at how many stitches that man had to play through. One
- 35:00of the toughest guys I ever met. And Scott met to Ted Lindsay of
- 35:02the Red Wings and he also played for Chicago. Yeah he did. But
- 35:07the original sixth Time was good? All right, all right, well topic,
- 35:09everybody's going to really enjoy here, and that's this the game you're looking
- 35:13forward to. George. Obviously we mentioned a little bit last night, but
- 35:16we have a couple of new people on tonight. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 35:20well Scott, Yeah, everybody has got their eyes set on this one.
- 35:23Detroit and the Los Angeles Rams. There's no question about Matthew Stafford homecoming.
- 35:30There's so many storylines here. You know, the trade, as everybody knows
- 35:36with Golf and Stafford and the stock pollague of draft choices that the Rams gave
- 35:42Detroit, a lot of these great draft choices that have made and these guys
- 35:46are playing full time for the Lions. No shortage of storylines here, let
- 35:52me tell you. But once the start of that game is, once it's
- 35:57underway, I mean, you can forget about all that other stuff. In
- 36:00fact, all of the players they got to block that stuff out. You
- 36:02know, you want to get revenge on this guy, or that guy wants
- 36:06to get revenge on John Payton, you know, and and this guy didn't
- 36:08like the trade, and you know Josh Reynolds. I mean, there's so
- 36:12many things you can worry about, but you got to just scrap it on.
- 36:15And that is going to be one heck of a game, I'll tell
- 36:17you right now. I mean I give Detroit maybe a slight edge, obviously
- 36:21being the home team, but it's it's it's gonna be a tough one.
- 36:24It should be one of the better games of the weekend. Obviously, perfect
- 36:29weather conditions, they're playing inside a dome, in a cold city like Detroit.
- 36:32But I think it's going to be a hell of a game. That's
- 36:36the one I'm really watching for, and I'll be I'll be there, Thank
- 36:39Goodness to be able to cover it for all of us here. Yeah,
- 36:43at Ford Field, by the way, at least, and that one's on
- 36:46NBC, folks, so you can see it, yeah after earlier. Okay,
- 36:52the game you're looking forward to this weekend? Oh, that one,
- 36:55no question, Cleveland Houston's up there, but that one, because this is
- 37:00what I want. I heard that there was some fans. Someone brought it
- 37:02up on Facebook today because I brought this up that I looked like they were
- 37:06going to try to band Detroit Stafford's jerseys, which is which is so petty
- 37:12and stupid. Here's what you do. Enjoy that game. It's gonna be
- 37:15I see that being a classic. And do you want to know what you
- 37:19do after it, win or lose? Say goodbye properly to Matthew Stafford.
- 37:27This is probably it. And you know something, he's one of the last
- 37:31of the Warriors that we've seen. Josh Allen, I guess is there a
- 37:36little bit you know what I'm saying, play hurt everything. This guy is
- 37:40a warrior and a half that you could bring into the sixties and you could
- 37:45see him with blood down his space like you saw y a tittle. He
- 37:49would have played like that he played And you said you had five wins most
- 37:54years, and he was the reason for all five wins was he was he
- 38:00He was a fighter, a warrior everything. Thank him, give him the
- 38:05greatest send off, whether you win or lose. Cheer for him if you
- 38:10lose and he moves on, and give him a goodbye if you win and
- 38:15move on, you know, all standing ovation because we're not gonna see the
- 38:20likes of him too much anymore. Well, Detroit fans rooted for when he
- 38:23won the Super Bowl, So I don't think that's really overly that far fetched,
- 38:28right, that's for sure. And you know, I'll give Joe an
- 38:30opportunity to mention the game he's looking for. But I do want to say
- 38:34this about Jared Goff. Here's a guy that's on a mission to get back
- 38:37to the super Bowl, and he's going to be attached to a trivia question
- 38:42too, as the latest Lions quarterback to win a division. Jared Goff and
- 38:46you talk about trade that tour down for both sides. That one definitely has
- 38:51our turnover to Joe really simple. I'm glad I have a peacock of subscription
- 38:58since ide all of the Kansas City or Miami because a cold weather game with
- 39:01Kansas City Taylor Swift one hundred and ten times more Taylor Swift. Did I
- 39:07mention Taylor Swift? I mean, where do I get my chiefs? Taylor
- 39:12Swift Jersey? But anyway, they're gonna also play football on Saturday night.
- 39:19It's not just Taylor Swift, yes, but no, it's it's gonna be
- 39:23a good game. I really see Miami. You're thinking about it being cold
- 39:27weather, They're gonna come to play. Kansas City needs to step up.
- 39:31They need to play how they haven't played all year. They beat Miami earlier
- 39:36in the year, but this is a different Miami team. They have three
- 39:39running backs, they have good receivers, their defense is good enough. Kansas
- 39:45City has looked like they were in space the whole year. Everyone wants to
- 39:49see, you know, the best teams in football. Everyone spoken about Miami
- 39:53all year that you know, when they scored the seventy points, they got
- 39:57the number one offense that used to be Kansas City. So we're going to
- 40:00see the two best offenses in the NFL. Basically, go at it.
- 40:06And it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be football weather. I'm excited that
- 40:10to be is football Detroit ard of the Dome. Play outside, it's your
- 40:15natural advantage, un Joe. Okay, George, I can and I saw
- 40:23games at Tiger Stadium and boy, yeah we did. Oh it's horrible for
- 40:28the fans, but for the teams, you know, it's a it's an
- 40:30advantage. Play outside. I like my spot in the press box. I
- 40:36could take my cake and eat it too. So he is not Dave.
- 40:39He is not. He was older. He's older, and he's about to
- 40:44retire. He's probably just gonna get on TV now and pump and pump the
- 40:47heck out of the visor. That's all he's gonna do and make his twenty
- 40:51million. And Taylor Swift, well he'll pump that different way. And you
- 40:54know what, Butch Davis reminds us and JB. I know you may.
- 41:00And then Scott, you mentioned about the Lions and the Rams, but yeah,
- 41:04they got another date next year, next fall. They schedules already said
- 41:07that the Rams will play in Detroit, unless unless that game has moved international,
- 41:14which is a possibility because the Lions have not played international. But I'm
- 41:17I'm done with that. Thanks but slow for letting us know. Yeah,
- 41:22I like Dave Bradley's comment Kelsey is ruined. Now, I like Bradley.
- 41:29You know, jav and I and jakeb. We know this guy's he's pretty
- 41:32cool stuff, isn't he. Joey, Yeah, you know what. I'm
- 41:39with you, Joe. I'm intrigued about the Kansas City Miami game. I
- 41:45really am being in the cold weather. And I already mentioned the stats there,
- 41:50so you know again it'll remember one thing, that game was played in
- 41:53London. Okay, but again, until the Dolphins proved, I realized running
- 41:58the football is they need to do. Okay to me, I need to
- 42:04see Miami win a game in those kinds of weather conditions, a game,
- 42:08okay to get me to drink the Dolphin school aid. Now, the only
- 42:13question I want to present in front of all you guys, since we're talking
- 42:16about the Kansas City Chiefs and we'll talk about the Lions and the Rams,
- 42:22is Mike to Rico wanted an asterisk put next to that game against the Kansas
- 42:30City Chiefs. Do you think that Mike Terrico Joe is gonna stick an asterisk
- 42:34next to this game? Or does the an arbor resident? Okay, Mike
- 42:37go ahead and say, now this was one the right way, because I'm
- 42:44gonna start nicknaming Mike Rico. Mike asterisk to Rico. He's a nice guy.
- 42:50But I'm gonna Mike asks to Rico and I've already put Georgia on it.
- 42:53He's gonna ask him, do you think they still deserve an asterisk?
- 42:57Now, Joe, I'm gonna hit you with that question. So what was
- 43:00what was the asterisk for? Thank Georgia? Because of the Kansas City there's
- 43:07no Kelsey and and who else was missing from that opening night? Mainly Kelsey
- 43:10was the one that was talking about. Yeah, I defer the question to
- 43:15Taylor Swift. She could answer. Give it to Brittany mahomes A wins a
- 43:21Woods Away. There's no such thing as asterisks. It's the stupidest thing of
- 43:25the world. You play with you on the field, you know, give
- 43:30me a break. There's there's no asterisks. Yeah, well, you know
- 43:34what, George is gonna go out there doing crack feel work, and find
- 43:37out if Mike. And the amazing part about it, he does live in
- 43:40Anna arborst So it's like, really, he'll be singing in his old I
- 43:46can say this about Kansay if they win, if Casey wins, this is
- 43:51the thing. It is going to have to be Travis Kelsey's game of his
- 43:55life. I mean a lot of five yards five yard down the middle and
- 44:00run through people. He's not to find one. It's gonna kill him because
- 44:04he's getting older. But it's good they're gonna have. They have no choice
- 44:07because no one else can hold onto that ball. So it's gonna have to
- 44:10be his game if they're gonna win. All right, Well, time is
- 44:15working to our benefit tonight. So here's what we're gonna do. Jie,
- 44:19you have a party shot. Saint John's men's basketball another big win tonight against
- 44:24Providence. They are now if I'm correct, fourteen and four, three and
- 44:31one in the Big East. That they used to be the number three winningest
- 44:37Division one college basketball team in the country. Unfortunately, hard times hit them.
- 44:43They fell behind a couple other really great colleges. But good to see
- 44:47coach Patino and Flushing getting Saint John's back to where they should be. I'm
- 44:53excited to see what the next couple of years bring when he gets his recruits
- 44:58in there and he can actually do what he needs to do. He's doing
- 45:00this with some guys he took for my ownA and the Ivy League. So
- 45:06imagine when he starts getting the guys that he could go out there and get
- 45:08and using the garden as his backdrop. Because if you want to play basketball,
- 45:13you want to play Madison Square Garden. I don't care where you're from.
- 45:15So it always boggled my mind how sat Chow's did it always have the
- 45:19best recruiting teams year after year after year. Only school that gets to play
- 45:23at the garden for eight to ten home games a year. So no better
- 45:30school. Well, I think Rick Matino is going to do some good stuff
- 45:34there on Glady Land at the same job. And of course, my friend
- 45:37Mike Jarvis actually coached there now he's living down in my neck of the woods,
- 45:40was a very good friend of minell Right, Jacob, if you have
- 45:43a parting shot, make sure it doesn't last a million years. I think
- 45:47of two million. No, this is short. This is short, Philly
- 45:52fans. I know. I normally accuse you of having the IQ of the
- 45:57liberty bell and not even that high. But the biggest thing about this is
- 46:01you're really showing that to me by wanting to get rid of the nick Sirianni.
- 46:07Now with the whole big struggle going on, here's the deal. This
- 46:13is the truth of everything. You're living off your emotional knitwit selves. He
- 46:17got to a super Bowl last year, eleven wins this year, even if
- 46:21it's a struggle now, yes he's struggling. Yes they're probably going to have
- 46:23trouble with Tampa and they're not winning anyone else. But let me bring this
- 46:28to you straight. Who are you going to get that would be better than
- 46:32him if you let him go? If you let a guide go and the
- 46:37Bears have had trouble letting getting someone after love me and he had ten wins
- 46:42in one season, you've got a super Bowl and eleven wins. Who are
- 46:45you going to get? See, you're living off your emotional nit win.
- 46:47You got to stop that. That's just the period and the story to see
- 46:52what happens if he let him go go to this year. If he continues
- 46:55to lose, then you got to let him go. But you're not right
- 46:59here. It is time. It is time you just let this be.
- 47:02Let it be. Whatever happens happens on this part. He could have a
- 47:07better season next year. But you gotta quit it. You gotta quit being
- 47:12stupid and quit being emotional, because you're gonna cost your team. Trust me,
- 47:15from a Bears fan, you're gonna cost your team something big if you
- 47:19let this guy go. Now, Jacob, the problem is, you know,
- 47:24Britney spears is are going to the games. Taylor Swiss already booked to
- 47:28Kansas City. They tried to get Britney and it's just all work it out.
- 47:31Well, Britney Spears had had two many times with his knives, too
- 47:36many times of knives. But no, that's just the thing. It's like,
- 47:38this is it's enough of trying to fire somebody because you're a little bit
- 47:43emotional and you've been betting too much. You know, it's it's enough of
- 47:47that. You're gonna you're gonna cost this team a decade if you don't stop
- 47:52it. Okay, Like the ban are back and forth with all right,
- 47:55George Iiicorn, Well we can have basketball. I guess my parting shot is
- 48:02going to be pleased and you cut us some slack here of basketball. Gods.
- 48:07I mean, we got the Pistons with their horrible record. We got
- 48:09the University of Detroit Titans in the Horizon League with a horrible record. We
- 48:15got the University of Michigan Wolverine struggling. We got the Michigan State Spartan struggling.
- 48:22We need to get some help here in Detroit to make sure basketball is
- 48:25turned on. We are hosting the Sweet sixteen. If people forgot the lead
- 48:30up to the Final Four, Detroit's Little Caesars Arena is hosting it this year,
- 48:37and so I hope we get some better basketball, is what I'm saying.
- 48:43It's certainly overdue. We enjoy our winning football, but as far as
- 48:47Michigan goes, we got to turn this thing around here for the Pistons and
- 48:52our college teams here. Hats off the Oakland University which is about five ten
- 48:58and eight and the Spartans are about five hundred. But it's just been a
- 49:00struggle so far. Guys with hoops here in Motown in the state of Michigan.
- 49:07Okay, I want to allude to this parting shot as I did on
- 49:10fund the Fun at New Audience tonight. The LA Lakers defeated the Toronto Raptors
- 49:15one one one. The Lakers get twenty shot twenty three free throws in the
- 49:21fourth quarter. The Raptors had only two that led to an epic ram by
- 49:25Toronto coach Darko Rajakovic. The Lakers had thirty six free throws in the game,
- 49:31Toronto had thirteen. Way too big of a disparity. I give the
- 49:37Toronto coach I heck of a lot of kudos for standing up for US players.
- 49:43And to me, that's a great way to win your locker room.
- 49:47It really really is. And let's say is that you know, maybe he'll
- 49:52get fined, But you know what, I got news for you. When
- 49:55I've seen these fines before, how many tangis that stepped up to the plate
- 50:01and gone out there and paid the find. It's not about to find.
- 50:05It's about the principle you stand up for your players and you go out there
- 50:08and let them know that you have their back. So I have one headline
- 50:13I want to get to and then we'll call it a night, and that's
- 50:15that's The New York Yankees have emerged as a candidate to sign Marcus Stroman.
- 50:22A source told John MOROSEI of MLB Network. So I'm going to ask each
- 50:27of you a quick question, Okay, and it's very quick. George Marcus
- 50:30Stroman in a New York Yankees uniform? How do you think that would look?
- 50:36Why not? Why not? I say they certainly could use the help.
- 50:39And he's got a lot of talent. He's a good ballplayer. I
- 50:44wouldn't mind seeing it, you know, I really want. I think you'll
- 50:47help them out. Okay. One other thing I want to do before I
- 50:51turned over, Joe is there is another rematch with Michigan and Washington. Cale
- 50:57he'll occur in October when the Washington Huskies. Yeah, which you'll member of
- 51:00the Big Ten. All right, Joe, let's talk about Stroman. So
- 51:05he grew up on Long Island. He is, he grew up a Yankee
- 51:08fan. They did try and get him from Toronto when they traded him a
- 51:14while ago. It just didn't work out. Hard to work out trades in
- 51:16your own division. I think it'd be a natural fit for him to play
- 51:22for the Yankees. He has a great personality, good guy. Got a
- 51:25chance to see him in Chicago the last couple of years. I think it'd
- 51:30be a great fit to see him in the Bronx, and I think it'd
- 51:31be his lifelong dream. Very good. Okay, Jacob, this is an
- 51:37interesting deal and I'm glad that you said that. Jamie. That's a very
- 51:40interesting thing to see Strowman in New York. This is the question I got.
- 51:45This is the question I have for every player from here on out.
- 51:49What will they think of them? What would they think of the haircut and
- 51:53the trimming, the you know, the beard going into a mustache, the
- 51:58very old school Yankee way that's still happens to this day. And how long
- 52:01will it happen. Will he fight it or will he go for it?
- 52:06That's the big thing I have to say. I think he'd be dang good
- 52:08on the Yankees, don't get that wrong. But as far as their standards
- 52:13of you know, the shaving, their standards of shaving, and their standards
- 52:17of the way their uniforms are built and everything. Got to remember what his
- 52:22hair has been the last couple of years. Will he do it? That's
- 52:24the question. It's like, or will he fight it? It's like,
- 52:28I don't know, but it'll be an interesting thing to find out. Well,
- 52:30you'll find out when they talk about it during their negotiations. First of
- 52:35all, I mean, you don't have a done deal yet. He's emerged
- 52:37as a candidate to join the team, so they ultimately work those things out.
- 52:40So but I think it'll certainly give the Yankees a boast of their pitching
- 52:45staff. Everybody knows they're pitching has really tailed off at the end, and
- 52:50that's why they haven't been able to bring home the World Series. But that
- 52:52said, I want to remind everybody that The Sports Exchange is being broadcast around
