The New York Mets have now lost 11 games in a row after being
0:10
swept by the Chicago Cubs over the weekend.
0:13
Sunday's loss was especially hard to take as the Amazons LED
0:17
in the ninth only for former Yankees and Brewers closer Devin
0:20
Williams to cough up the lead before losing an extra innings.
0:24
Williams has a 711 ERA and an over 2 WHIP in his opening month
0:28
with the Mets, certainly not what's owner Steve Cohen and
0:31
general manager David Stearns had in mind when acquiring him
0:35
in the offseason. With Williams and many other
0:37
Stearns acquisitions failing to pull their weight so far this
0:40
season, how long is the leash exactly for both Stearns and the
0:45
much maligned Mets manager Carlos Mendoza as the Mets fall
0:49
to the bottom of the standings in the entire National League?
0:53
And before we call our shots and preview the defensive prospects
0:56
expected to go in the first round of Thursday's 2026 NFL
1:00
Draft. Errol Q and speedy breakdown.
1:02
The big time trade of former Giants All Pro nose tackle
1:06
Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals for, amazingly, the 10th overall
1:10
pick in Thursday night's draft. On another edge of your seat,

4:41
It that's us. We're always here to entertain
4:43
you guys from 7 to practically 11, 11:00 every single Mondays
4:47
and Thursdays. I want to say something.
4:50
I went to the movies by myself. Brittany did not want to go to
4:52
the movies yesterday. She was tired.
4:55
I I wanted to see the movie Beast.
4:57
So if anybody hasn't seen the movie, it's only going to be in
5:01
movie theaters for this week. It's one of those movies that
5:04
they don't stay in that long because it's a mixed martial
5:06
arts movie. But I absolutely loved it.
5:10
The storyline was great. It was perfect.
5:12
If if you like mixed martial arts, you have to see it.
5:15
Russell Crowe's in it and and the storyline was just I'm not
5:19
going to tell you everything, but this guy was a world.
5:21
He wasn't a world champion. He was one of the best middle
5:23
weight, middle weight fighters in the world.
5:26
You see it in the beginning of the movie and it just like
5:28
transitions 10 years later. You don't know what happens
5:31
until the movie moves forward and such a interesting story, a
5:35
back into the story and and I'm I'm not going to give anything
5:38
away, but go and check it out. And when it goes to video or
5:41
streaming, stream the movie. It's called beast.
5:44
It's sensational. I enjoyed it, but I tell you
5:47
guys a funny story. So I ate stuffed shells before I
5:51
went to the movie theater. I am lactose intolerant.
5:55
So I went to the bathroom before I went to the movie theater.
5:59
But I, I got to the movie theater and I go right inside
6:03
and I'm like, damn, I have a really bad stomach ache.
6:06
The movie starts in about 5-6 minutes.
6:09
So I go to the bath. So I I get my ticket I go to the
6:12
bathroom. The bathroom is closed.
6:15
One of the main bathrooms are closed.
6:17
So I'm running around the building.
6:19
I'm about to crap in my pants. I'm serious I was about to
6:23
really let go it my stomach was growling.
6:26
I finally find a bathroom and there's one stall.
6:29
Now I don't like public bathrooms.
6:31
I do not like going to the bathroom in public bathrooms.
6:33
I have this thing this skeeved thing.
6:37
So I go to the bathroom. All right, I'm sitting there now
6:41
there's no lock on the door. There's no lock.
6:44
So I'm pushing it close and I'm praying to God.
6:46
So I'm going and I'm trying to sit down.
6:48
I'm like sweating. I'm like, just just let's go,
6:52
let's go. I got to get to the movie.
6:54
All of a sudden these two guys come in and one guy walks right
6:58
in when I'm taking a dump and I'm sitting there on the ball.
7:01
Could you imagine the embarrassment?
7:03
I'm sitting there and the guy's looking at me.
7:05
He's like, oh, I was like oh close the damn door and all of a
7:09
sudden there's a load of people lining up and I am just trying
7:13
to get up and, and trying to get this stomach to relax so I can
7:17
get up and go to the movie theater and and watch my movie.
7:21
I was so embarrassed. Dude.
7:23
I, I, I was so very embarrassed. I get up and I see like 7 people
7:28
lining up to the stall and they're like, you OK?
7:30
You OK? It's like, yeah, I'll tell you
7:33
this. I cleaned, I cleaned where I
7:35
was, but you do not want to go in there.
7:37
That's all I said to him. I was like one of those Ace
7:40
Ventura, do not go in there. Woo.
7:42
You know, like that. So I, I walked right out.
7:45
I would, I go to the I go to the movie theater and it's, there's
7:49
not a lot of people in there. So the guy that walked in to my
7:54
stall was sitting right in front of me with his girlfriend.
7:57
It was so embarrassed, embarrassing because as soon as
8:00
he sat down, his girlfriend was sitting right there.
8:02
She looked back and smiled at me.
8:04
So I know he was talking about me taking a dump and him walking
8:07
in while I was taking a dump. It was embarrassing.
8:09
All right, so I will tell you I don't do this.
8:12
It's never happened before when somebody's walked in, but it
8:15
that's why I don't go to public bathrooms, because I'm afraid
8:18
that there's no lock in the door and I got to take a dump and
8:20
somebody's going to walk in on me.
8:22
That's why I don't do it. 2 That's what happened to me last
8:25
night. I was embarrassed the whole
8:27
movie because this girl kept looking back at me and I was
8:30
like, OK, this I don't, I don't think this is funny, but
8:33
whatever. But true story, ladies and
8:36
gentlemen, do not go to the bathroom when there's no luck.
8:39
I had to go because there was nowhere unless I was dumping in
8:42
the sink because I've seen that. Anybody seen the movie
8:45
Bridesmaids? They're they're trying to find
8:47
and what's her name again? Is she, she takes a dump and
8:51
they, they ate something, you know, messed up their stomach
8:53
and they go into this like dress, there's bridal dress
8:56
place and and then they're, they have to go and she's throwing
8:59
up. One of them's throwing up.
9:00
The other one has to take a dump.
9:02
So she's sitting on a sink. That's the way I felt.
9:04
If somebody was sitting on a stall and I had I would have
9:06
shit in a sink, a sink. Excuse my language, but that's
9:09
what I would have done. I would have done that.
9:11
That's how bad it was. I was that bad, ladies and.
9:15
Gentlemen. I did.
9:17
I survived. I was very.
9:19
I I thought that all the bathrooms closed.
9:21
There it is. There it is, ladies.
9:24
And gentlemen, I don't know if it was that bad, but it wasn't
9:27
that bad. I'm clean.
9:29
I don't crap all over the place. Not clean if.
9:32
You I'm clean and and by the way, I wasn't wearing.
9:34
That Duke jersey. On AI was not wearing the Duke
9:38
jersey. For all you fans out there, I
9:40
wasn't. I'm wearing it tonight.
9:41
I wouldn't make sense. I mean, it would be appropriate
9:44
attire for that, OK. What, taking a dump with a Duke
9:47
jersey? That doesn't make any sense it.
9:49
Correlate very well. Yeah, it correlates.
9:51
You're using speedies words now, so you're correlating away from
9:55
what the whole story is all about.
9:56
Anyways, at 820, ladies and gentlemen, we will be talking to
10:00
former 10 year defensive tackle Albert Haynsworth will be
10:04
joining us. And yes, ladies and gentlemen,
10:06
he will be joining us tonight. So I.
10:09
Big us the big Al man. Yes, AL's going to join us and
10:13
shout out to Nif Nif, you know, landed Albert Haynsworth and he
10:17
tried to get and we're going to get a lot of guys.
10:19
We're going to have a draft show on Thursday.
10:22
So if you want, if you're, you're at a, a place and you're,
10:25
you don't want to listen to all the garbage on ESPN or NFL
10:28
Network, you can hear our takes and our personalities and what
10:32
we think from from #1 all the way to 30 throughout the night.
10:37
So we will be there for everything for The Jets, the
10:39
Giants, the Giants have the 5:00 and 10:00 pick after the Dexter
10:43
Lawrence trade. We'll talk about that Number 2.
10:46
That was that's a #2 story, ladies and gentlemen.
10:48
So all you Giant fans, I'm sure you're going to like to hear
10:51
craziness out of fish because he's like, oh, giddy about this.
10:55
Like, you know, like one of those, you know, I, I don't
11:02
know, I, I just got to say it's got, you know.
11:05
They're only up and up. They're only up and.
11:07
Up. They're only up and up.
11:08
That's what we've been saying for The Jets for years, you know
11:10
all about. That 2 or 16 baby we ready to
11:13
go. Oh.
11:13
Yeah, yeah, there we go. Playoffs this year.
11:15
Right off that 2 and 16. Q You've lost it.
11:20
You have absolutely lost it. If you really think that this
11:23
team is making the playoffs this year.
11:25
Hey, listen, they they they could be better.
11:28
I think they could win six games this year if everything works
11:30
well with the picks and the moves that they made in the
11:33
offseason, which looks like they're pretty good.
11:35
I I think Moji's really good. I don't know about Aaron Glenn.
11:38
We'll have to see this year what Aaron Glenn's going to produce
11:41
this defense going to produce as he's calling the defensive
11:44
plays. So we'll see.
11:45
Anyways, we've got a great look, a great show lined up as Albert
11:49
Haynesworth will be joining us a little bit later.
11:52
But let's get into the New York Mets, ladies and gentlemen,
11:55
because the Mets are the big story right now in.
11:58
Killing it. Yes, they're killing it all
11:59
right. They're smelling up everything.
12:02
There's dirty rats all over Citi Field and everywhere they've
12:05
gone, and it's all about to completely fall flat on their
12:09
face. It's already falling flat on
12:11
their face. After being swept by the Cubs
12:13
this weekend, the Mets have now lost 11 games in a row, their
12:17
longest losing streak since 2004.
12:21
The Mets have only scored a combined nineteen runs in those
12:25
eleven games, which is an average of 1.7 runs per game.
12:30
The pitching wasn't much better as they had a team ERA of 6.25,
12:35
allowing 62 total runs. Devin Williams suffered his
12:39
first blown save as a Met in yesterday's game, allowing an
12:43
RBI double from former Mets Michael Conforto.
12:47
You love that Mets fans. Carlos Mendoza criticized the
12:51
Mets effort in a one run game in one run games and said that
12:57
nobody should feel sorry for them the way they have lost.
13:01
Both Devin Williams and Francisco Lindor defended
13:04
Mendoza saying he is a good leader and not to blame for the
13:09
players not performing. Only three teams in MLB history,
13:14
yes have made it to the playoffs after an 11 game losing streak.
13:19
The 1991 I'm sorry, the 1951 Giants, the 199082 Braves, and
13:26
the 2017 Dodgers. No team has ever made it with a
13:31
12 game losing streak. Well, well, well.
13:36
How could we attack this for the New York Mets?
13:40
Could I do it in a nice way or could I do it in a really,
13:44
really bad way? Well.
13:46
I'd do it a nice way. Again, why I?
13:48
I don't know if there's anything nice to say about this team
13:50
right now, but their record right now, they're 7 and 15,
13:57
seven and 15 right now. This is one of the best teams
14:00
going into the season. Everybody thought the offense
14:03
was going to be great. You added Beau Bichette, a guy
14:06
that's won a batting title, moving him to third base.
14:09
I told Met fans before the season started, Beau Boschett
14:13
moving to third base. It's going to take him a while
14:15
to figure out third base. It's going to throw him off and
14:18
he's not going to hit as well as he was with the Blue Jays.
14:21
Also, he's injury prone. And how is a guy that's injury
14:24
prone the 4th or fifth highest paid player season by season in
14:29
all of the MLB? It makes no sense.
14:31
He's making more money a season than Aaron Judge.
14:36
Aaron Judge, arguably the best player in the league.
14:40
You can argue it's either him or Ohtani.
14:42
This guy is making more than Aaron Judge.
14:47
The run differential. Listen to this.
14:49
They were. They have been outscored 62 to
14:53
1962 to 19. Think about that, Mets.
14:58
Mets fans. They're averaging 1.7 runs per
15:01
game. Their batting averages are about
15:06
200 and they've only had 17 extra base hits.
15:14
Think about that. It is horrible.
15:18
You're played over 20 games and you only have 17 extra base
15:23
hits. Polanco can't stay healthy.
15:26
Bachette has been healthy. It's it's amazing that Bachette
15:29
has been fairly healthy. Lindor has started off again
15:34
horribly. They're pitching ERA right now.
15:38
Their team pitching is 6.25 in this stretch, 6.25.
15:47
That means they're averaging. They're giving up six runs or
15:51
more a game, historically the longest losing streak since the
15:57
11 game skid in 2004. The Mets have had a lot of bad
16:01
seasons. A lot.
16:04
We could go back on the absolute falling apart of the New York
16:08
Mets that happened last year and a couple of years before that.
16:13
The Mets historically with the money their owner Uncle Stevie
16:18
has spent, you would think you're you're talking about
16:20
billions, billions of dollars their owner has spent in the
16:26
last four to five years. To me, it defies nothing.
16:35
And I don't care about the run differential, home runs,
16:39
scoring. They got to find their way out
16:41
of this and they get better, find their way out of this quick
16:45
because it's not going to be what Mendoza, everybody says,
16:48
well, fire Mendoza, fire Mendoza.
16:50
It's not going to be all about Mendoza.
16:52
It's going to be about David Stearns.
16:54
The Mets fans that are sitting here today saying that David
16:57
Stearns was going to change this team.
16:58
He was going to make this team an elite team in the majors.
17:02
What he did for Milwaukee, all the draft picks, he he drafted
17:07
McClain, everybody. Oh, look at look at what Nolan
17:09
Mcclain's doing. That's great.
17:12
I can tell you a lot of GMs, Omar Minaya, he drafted Jacob
17:18
degrom. Look at Jacob degrom right now.
17:21
He's pitching very well with with the with the Texas Rangers.
17:26
It seems like every time a player leaves the New York Mets,
17:29
they're a better team and they're a better player.
17:32
They're playing for a better team and a better in there and
17:33
they're a better player. Now.
17:36
Peter Alonso is not hitting. Supposedly his bat speed has
17:39
slowed down five points. That's great.
17:43
I think Pete Alonso will figure it out.
17:46
But you talk about and everybody speaks about this team, that
17:51
this team is going to make a run this year.
17:53
Juan Soto, who, by the way, is not healthy, and everybody says
17:57
when Juan Soto's come, when Soto comes back, they're going to be
18:00
better. Oh my God, they're going to
18:01
start hitting. Let me tell you guys something.
18:04
He's a great hitter. One guy is not going to fix
18:06
what's going on in this lineup. One guy cannot fix what's going
18:11
on in this lineup. What I can tell you about Juan
18:15
Soto is maybe he adds a little pizzazz in the dugout because
18:20
there's none right now. Has anybody watched their games?
18:24
Look at Lindor's face after the 5th inning.
18:27
It looks like you don't want to be there.
18:29
Bob Bouchette doesn't even know where he is.
18:31
He has his hat flipped around to the side.
18:33
It looks like nobody wants to be there.
18:36
Nobody. What are you going to blame?
18:38
You're going to blame the manager for that?
18:40
I don't care if Lindor is sticking up or any of these
18:42
superstars are sticking up for Mendoza because Mendoza is going
18:47
to be the first person out and they know who that second person
18:51
is going to be out. It's not going to be the
18:52
players. It's going to be David Stearns
18:56
because he's the one who put this debacle together and it is
18:59
a debacle. You can say whatever you want
19:02
now. It's still early in the season.
19:04
It is early from that fans. There's a lot of baseball left,
19:08
a lot. But guess what?
19:11
It could be really decent. It could be OK, it could be
19:16
better or it could be really, really bad.
19:19
And honestly, what I have seen with this team, it doesn't sell
19:24
me that this team is going to be fixed after Soto comes back.
19:28
It it isn't now. We've seen better teams figure
19:31
it out after the All Star break. Met fans.
19:34
If this team has to wait until the All Star break, they're
19:36
done. The season's over.
19:38
They might as well trade off pieces and figure out what who's
19:41
going to be the GM and who's going to be the manager next
19:43
year. It's rebuild after rebuild after
19:47
rebuild. The Mets haven't won a World
19:49
Series since 198686 guys. They've played in two World
19:55
Series 2. Think about that. 2 World Series
20:02
since then. You know what happened?
20:06
We can remember in 2000, who'd they lose against the New York
20:10
Yankees. 1515 years later from that, who did they play?
20:16
The Kansas City Royals. This is the problem, guys.
20:22
And and I'm. I'm sitting here, I'm a Yankee
20:23
fan. Everybody sits here and you're a
20:25
Yankee fan. Yeah, I'm a Yankee fan.
20:27
That's right. I'm a Yankee fan.
20:28
But I'm going to. I can tell you a lot of things
20:30
about the Yankees, too. What I haven't liked with the
20:33
New York Yankees, I don't care if they're a game out or half a
20:36
game out of their division, it doesn't matter.
20:38
The Yankees haven't looked good either, but they're not as bad
20:41
as the Mets. And for all the Yankee fans out
20:44
there that were slaying the the management, that they didn't
20:48
make enough moves in the offseason for the Yankees,
20:50
they're still finding a way to win.
20:53
But the Mets, this team is much better than they're playing.
20:57
They're much better. This line up is much better than
21:00
their their numbers show. And I, I don't think Mendoza's
21:05
as bad as everybody thinks he is.
21:07
I don't blame management, the manager for that.
21:10
I blame the one guy in the league that all the Mets fans
21:14
absolutely adore. Uncle Stevie calls him a son,
21:17
and that's David Stearns. This man decided to let Brandon
21:23
Nimmo go. They traded him for Simeons.
21:27
What has Simeons done this year? I don't care how creative a
21:31
defender, multiple positions. Oh my God, this guy's been a
21:34
Gold Glove his whole career. He can hit for average.
21:37
The guy's 36, going to be 37. Your body breaks down.
21:43
He's not as good as he was nine years ago.
21:47
He's just not. And to trade him for Brandon,
21:50
IMO. Who's the heart and soul of this
21:52
team? Him and Pete Alonso with a heart
21:54
and soul. You got rid of the two players
21:58
that have pushed this team to that brink.
22:01
When they made that run. Everybody keeps complimenting
22:04
Lindor when they made that run all the way to the NLCS.
22:07
Everybody remember that? Anybody remember that a couple
22:10
of years ago? Oh, they're ahead of schedule.
22:13
Oh my God, David Stern's first year, He looks wonderful.
22:16
This team's great. The people that got in there is
22:21
the personalities in that locker room, the Brandon Nimos, the
22:29
Pete Alonzos. The leadership of this team is
22:34
gone. Now you have two guys that are
22:37
supposedly best friends in Francisco Lindor and want Soto.
22:44
Now there's stories coming out that these guys don't like each
22:47
other. They're not talking to each
22:49
other. Now, what is that spell for Met
22:51
fans that spells disaster? Absolute disaster if you're a
22:57
Met fan. My argument here is if this team
23:01
can't figure it out in the next 15 games, it's either time to
23:07
move on from Mendoza. But who you're going to bring in
23:09
in the middle of the season, you're going to probably go and
23:11
have to bring one of your managers.
23:12
They're going to promote from within with John Gibbons, who
23:15
last managed with the Blue Jays in like 2015.
23:16
Oh, I'm sorry. We'll bring in John Gibbons.
23:19
I, I remember him. He failed over there with the
23:20
Blue Jays. There's nothing.
23:25
There's nothing. There's nothing that spells
23:28
anything that makes this team good or bad in the next 20 games
23:34
that they're going to have to figure out where they're going
23:37
to go, where they moving forward.
23:38
And is it David Stearns? Do you want him?
23:40
How about how about Mets fans, Do you want David Stearns to be
23:44
running this team all the way into the ground next year when
23:48
he could strike here? This is the perfect time to get
23:51
rid of David Stearns because you're probably going to miss
23:53
half of the season, maybe 20 games, 30 games.
23:56
It depends on how the strike works out.
23:59
You, you decide to move from David Sternich, you have a more
24:01
than enough time because you might miss 1/4 of the season.
24:04
You bring in a a better, younger, smarter guy from
24:07
another organization. How about go after a guy from
24:10
the Dodgers? How about that?
24:13
Because the Dodgers are an organization, yes, they're
24:15
deferred. They're all about deferred money
24:18
and they're all about bringing in old players.
24:19
And but look at the youngsters. Look at the younger players that
24:23
they've called up. And I'm going to tell you this,
24:25
the older players are not hitting.
24:27
Oh, Tony's not hitting. Friedman's not hitting.
24:31
Bets is not hitting. They have guys that are coming
24:33
up. The young guys are hitting in
24:35
this line up for the Dodgers. So they must be doing something
24:38
right in their farm system. The Mets call up guys and they
24:42
just look like a disaster. And I'm I'm like taking shots at
24:45
Ben Benj. I'm not putting my, I'm not
24:47
putting all, all my money on these youngsters, but everybody
24:52
was so giddy about Nolan McLean. Nolan, we might not see the best
24:56
of Nolan McLean because nobody's hidden behind them.
24:59
This is the same thing that happened with Jacob degrom.
25:04
Jacob degrom is one of the, he was one of the best pitchers in
25:07
the world. One of he wants Cy Young's and
25:11
he had a losing record. His ERA was the best in the
25:16
league. His WHIP was the best in the
25:17
league because nobody on this team, nobody on this roster
25:20
could hit you watch this team now.
25:24
I, I, I don't know what to think.
25:25
I, I don't, I, I'm bored. I can't even sit here and watch
25:29
it. It makes me sick.
25:32
It makes me sick. I'm not a Mets fan, but I'm a
25:36
I'm a New Yorker and with good sports, with these guys are
25:39
playing at a high level. We have something good to talk
25:42
about for the Met fans. They sit here, but nobody's
25:45
going to beat around the Bush. No Met fan, no Mets podcast or
25:48
Met show is going to tell me. Well, we'll figure it out.
25:51
We're gonna figure it out. We got.
25:53
Early Francisco early in the season.
25:55
Yes you, but historical stats that don't help the cause Qi.
25:59
Know but but we got some positives.
26:02
Here's a, here's a. Here's a big.
26:04
Here's a big negative. We just can't finish.
26:07
We're not finishing. That's.
26:08
Three out of three out of 26 players are playing well.
26:11
Here's Here's great odds for you.
26:14
Here's great odds for you right now.
26:16
Playoff odds right now dropped from 79.5% to 41.3% as of Monday
26:25
morning. Think about that.
26:27
They were over 70%, almost 80% going into the season and now
26:33
they have dropped under 50% big time.
26:35
Think about that. You, you want to say, well, it's
26:38
only been this amount of games? Yeah, it's only been this amount
26:41
of games. What is it going to take?
26:42
This is going to be a ghost town.
26:43
Sydney Field is going to be a ghost town.
26:45
They're going to be selling tickets for 20 bucks.
26:48
Now they're giving away tickets, yeah.
26:50
Yeah, they're giving away tickets and Steve Cohen.
26:52
Likely, but they're not sure back in or the concessions.
26:55
Everybody knows that. And Steve Cohen is already mad
26:57
at some season ticket holders and ticket winners for not going
27:00
to games already when they were at barely over 500.
27:03
You think they're going to think that way when they're now 11
27:05
losses in a row? Once they get back on this
27:07
little run that they come out of this slump, they get on another
27:10
run, Citi Field will be filled back up again.
27:13
Yeah, you're. Going to have to rely on you're
27:16
going to have to rely on probably two of those kinds of
27:18
runs to get back into the where you're supposed to be at the
27:21
beginning of the year because you have a bunch of guys that
27:24
are not hitting at all. And that's what happens when you
27:27
don't have an obvious plan. If you knew like the previous
27:30
offseason, like there wasn't out of the belief Pete Alonzo was
27:33
going to come back with the Mets and the Mets signed him at the
27:36
very last second. They they had actually better
27:38
plan BS with Christian Walker at the time that came off a
27:41
Goodyear with the Diamondbacks. He had Josh are available.
27:43
Arizona traded for him instead. Those are the good Plan B's.
27:46
Let's see what Plan B was for the Mets after the Los
27:48
Petalonzo. Jorge Polanco, a streaky utility
27:50
guy throughout his career who, by the way, is now hurt.
27:53
Wonderful. So now that's your plan?
27:55
To spill anything now. You you get you trade Nimmo for
27:59
Simeon when you're already targeting Beau Bichette and
28:03
you're already targeting Polanco and now you have a cluster of
28:06
infielders and no outfielders, so you have to trade for Louise
28:09
Robert at the last second. That moves been fine.
28:11
All right, fine. It's still not a good process.
28:14
That's not a good process, though.
28:16
And again, I was encouraged at the time when they brought in
28:18
Stearns because it's like, OK, the Mets needed a middle market
28:20
guy after Billy Eppler was trying to be the the Angels of
28:23
2012 that got Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton and he was AGM for
28:27
that. And they, it looked like the
28:28
Mets were doing the same thing when they brought in Scherzer,
28:30
they brought in Marte, all these older guys and then obviously
28:33
Verlander the next year. So I'm like, OK, David Stern's
28:35
finally a middle ground for that.
28:37
And again, it looked promising in the beginning.
28:38
And then trade all fell apart, the trade headline last.
28:41
Year. Think about this.
28:42
Your two best players in your lineup right now, that is
28:45
probably costing Steve Cohen, I would say about $80 million
28:51
right now, a little bit less than that $80 million.
28:54
Shortstop Francisco Lindor and Beau Bouchet combined have hit
28:58
just 211 in 18 games. Think about that.
29:02
You have two guys that are making over 80 million together,
29:06
$80 million at your payroll this year and they're hitting 211.
29:10
It's early. It's still early.
29:12
OK. Yeah, it's still early with
29:14
three, three, only three teams that make the playoffs.
29:16
With that said, I don't. Read the stat.
29:18
Yeah, let me give you the stat. I have it up here.
29:21
Speedy. We talked about this earlier.
29:22
Q You may say it's early, but in the history of the game of
29:26
baseball, there are only four teams that have had double digit
29:30
losing streaks in a regular season that have even made the
29:35
playoffs. The 1951 New York Giants, they
29:39
didn't play football. They they won the NL Pennant.
29:42
None of them won the World Series.
29:43
The 82 Braves lost in the NLCS. The 2017 Dodgers lost in the
29:49
World Series to the cheating Astros.
29:52
And it happened last year with the Guardians come on with A10
29:57
game losing streak. So it's happened twice in the
29:59
last 10 years. So why not the Mets?
30:01
That is. So why not the Mets?
30:02
I'm just saying it's only happened four times in over 100
30:06
years of baseball. And history is made to be
30:07
broken. That's what I'm saying.
30:09
I'm not saying that they're going to go with.
30:10
The version. I'm just saying that they have a
30:13
strong chance of still making the playoffs. 4041.
30:16
I know, I know, it sounds bad with 11 game losing streak.
30:21
I understand that part. I think they come out of this
30:23
slump and figure it out and manage the way to just either
30:27
get very, very close or make the pass.
30:29
You, you, you do realize, you do realize you're wearing a Yankees
30:32
hat, right? You do realize that.
30:34
So no net fan in their right mind is going to sit here and
30:37
listen to you and say, oh, Q is telling us that, oh, it's still
30:41
early in the season and the Mets are going to find their way out
30:44
of this. As a Mets fan and I again, I do
30:47
root for the Yankees. But as a broadcaster, when you
30:50
do this long enough, as much as you root for your teams, you
30:54
have to be honest about those teams.
30:57
And honestly, right now, I don't like what the Yankees are doing
31:00
and I don't like what the Mets are doing.
31:02
But I can tell you this, the Yankees look like they'll find
31:04
their way out of this because they slowly but surely have
31:08
found their way out of it after playing Kansas City.
31:10
As bad as they are. And the Mets, no matter who
31:13
they're playing, no matter how good or bad they are, the Mets
31:16
have played up a lousy goose egg. 000 Really.
31:22
Did I just give you the numbers? Yeah, give me Yeah, that's the
31:25
total runs. I'm just saying they're losing
31:27
by a lot of numbers. 2/1 was 21 yesterday, right?
31:31
62 to 17 In this losing streak they scored seventeen runs. 17
31:38
runs in 11 games. Seventeen runs.
31:42
Hey, Errol, before we finish talking about this team that's
31:45
almost finished, can we talk about they should have won that
31:47
game yesterday and Devin Williams blew it.
31:51
And then in the extras, the manager decided not to put Nico
31:57
Herner on first base to get the force and he gets the SAC fly to
32:01
win the game. And a lot of people were like,
32:03
why aren't you doing that? And he didn't have a great
32:05
answer. What is Mendoza doing?
32:08
I think he's completely lost. He doesn't know what to do.
32:12
This team is falling right apart right in front of his face early
32:16
in the season and he has no answers for any of the questions
32:19
that the media is going to ask him.
32:20
We've seen this before. Managers are completely lopsided
32:26
with the questions because they have no answers for it.
32:29
You look at Bob Bouchette. Is Bobouchette supposed to be
32:32
hitting 23220 at this part of the season?
32:35
This guy was a batting champion. This guy was one of the best
32:37
hitters in the league. Think about that.
32:40
And then Lindor, I mean, this guy, oh, this guy's our best
32:43
player. Oh, we're going to get rid of
32:44
Pete Alonso. We'll make this guy the captain.
32:46
Oh, we're not making any captain.
32:48
We don't need a captain here. Oh, yeah, it makes a lot of
32:50
sense now. I mean, you're just showing
32:52
where this team is going rudely when you sit back and you wonder
32:57
why teams make captains. Look at Kansas City.
33:00
Who's the captain of that team? Perez.
33:03
Perez is their captain. Perez is their best player.
33:06
He's their catcher. This guy now won WBC
33:10
championship. This guy knows how to win every.
33:12
He's won a World Series championship.
33:15
Winners, Winners, ladies and gentlemen.
33:17
Now everybody's going to say, well, Aaron Judge is not a
33:19
winner. You're absolutely right.
33:20
But here's what Aaron Judge is. Aaron Judge has won multiple
33:24
MVPS. Aaron Judge is considered the
33:27
best player or the second best player in all of the league.
33:30
And when you look at that, when you're looking at a team and
33:33
you're trying to build around something, you got something.
33:37
Juan Soda, what has he won? He won a championship with as a
33:40
youngster. As a youngster, he was the best
33:42
player making that run. There's no question.
33:44
That was really. Well, Yeah.
33:46
But but here's the thing. Here's the thing.
33:48
Ever since he's left that team, ever since that run, what has he
33:51
done? He went to the Padres.
33:54
He took a Padre team. They failed.
33:56
Then he went to the Yankees. He helped the Yankees go to a
33:58
World Series. They failed.
34:01
Now he's with the Mets. The World Series is billion.
34:05
Dude, it, it doesn't matter because if you how, that's what.
34:09
I'm saying if the goal is to get, you're making 60. $8
34:12
million, you're the highest, you're the highest paid player
34:17
right now without deferred money in all of the league and you
34:23
have not done enough. Again, most valuable play now.
34:27
Juan Soto came out and said, I want to come off this because we
34:30
got a lot to get into. Juan Soto after the WBC said
34:36
that he believes that Dominican Republic was the best team.
34:39
They got eliminated by a team that was not better than they
34:43
were. He went out there and he threw
34:44
himself under the bus. And then after that, he said I'm
34:48
I'm going out there this year and I'm going to win the MVP.
34:50
I'm going to beat Otani out for that MVP award.
34:53
That's what he said. I'm the best player in the
34:55
National League and I'm going to prove it this.
34:57
Year and then he gets hurt. And then he gets hurt.
35:00
So I was a Mets fan. How are you going to ride or die
35:03
with a guy that opens his mouth, throws himself onto the bus and
35:07
now his team's on 11 game losing streak and oh, but he's saying,
35:12
and I'm sure this is what he's. When I get back into this line
35:14
up, this line up is going to be much better.
35:16
One player doesn't clean up this mess.
35:19
It's a mess. And that's what I'm selling
35:22
here. It is a mess.
35:24
They can figure it out. There's no question but it two
35:28
no matter how. Much some of those games, some
35:30
of those 10 games, 2 four games could be a difference maker.
35:36
They have to hit though, and it's harder.
35:38
It's harder for A1 hitter to have a direct impact on an
35:42
entire lineup, but it's hard to control like where a three
35:45
hitters are going to have an impact on A6 hitter and A7
35:47
hitter because they don't have a direct compensation to that the
35:50
same way they would in hockey or football.
35:52
Let me ask you a question. You have kids, right?
35:55
You have kids, right? So, you know, Christmas comes
35:58
around once a year and your kids are like, Santa's going to bring
36:02
me this and Santa, oh, you better be good.
36:05
You got to be good. If you're not good, ladies and
36:07
gentlemen or kids, you're going to get call or whatever.
36:11
Santa's not going to give you what you want, right?
36:13
That's what you tell your kids, right?
36:15
Now. Whatever, I I, I'm just, I'm
36:18
just throwing I'm, I'm spit balls at the wall and hopefully
36:20
they stick. OK, Hopefully.
36:22
All right, so let me ask you this question.
36:26
When they become 13 and 14 years old, your sons, your daughter,
36:32
they get older and then you want them to grow up and you have to
36:37
go there and tell your kids Santa isn't real, OK?
36:41
Santa's not real. I, I, me and Mommy.
36:43
Me and mommy have been giving you gifts every single year
36:46
since you were a kid. But I want, I want you to
36:49
understand that we wanted you to believe.
36:52
Believe. It's all about believing in
36:54
something. Well, guess what?
36:57
Santa's not coming here for the New York Nets.
37:00
Because by the time Santa Claus in December's around the corner
37:04
this season is over, Santa's going to be throwing them a nice
37:07
lump of coal. Because right now, believing in
37:10
this team is like believing or telling a kid that Santa is
37:14
real. And if kids are watching this
37:15
right now, Santa is real. Santa Joe, stop.
37:18
Why would you lie to this kid? Santa is real, I.
37:20
Mean just expose that they're going to go back at Santa.
37:22
Santa is real, I'm just trying to help out here.
37:24
It's worse than a lot of kids. So over under 78 wins this week
37:28
this year. I still think they, I still
37:31
think they're going to have about between 78 and 85 wins.
37:34
I still think they're, they're, they're, they're there, they'll
37:38
go on a streak, they'll, they'll find a way out of this.
37:41
But I I don't think it's going to be with Mendoza and I still
37:44
think David Stearns, if this team don't make the playoffs
37:46
with the money that they have spent, he needs to go.
37:49
He needs to. Go and that that's the other
37:50
problem you lie in because remember, they spent years in in
37:53
Cohen's tenure as owner before that of like getting the last
37:57
resort GMs for a while. They had the two that got into
37:59
legal issues and they had to settle on Billy Eppler, but
38:01
nobody wanted because of what he did with the Angels.
38:03
And he had one. They had one playoff year with
38:05
him. They lost in the first round of
38:06
the playoffs, collapse of the division and they had took a
38:09
while to get Stearns and then they can't even get one and the
38:11
job is not even liked as much as it should be.
38:13
All right, so we, we just went to the bad.
38:16
Now we're going to go to something that maybe will make
38:19
Giant fans happy. I I don't know.
38:21
As Dexter Lawrence was traded over the weekend, Adam Schefter
38:25
reports that the Giants yes, ladies and gentlemen, the New
38:28
York Giants have traded All Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence
38:33
to the Bengals for a #10 overall pick in this year's NFL draft.
38:39
Schefner added that the Bengals have given Lawrence and an
38:45
extension on his contract for one year and 28 million with a
38:50
$10 million signing bonus that will be paid in the 2028 NFL
38:56
season. Multiple NFL general managers
39:00
believe that the Bengals were screwed if they kept the number
39:04
10 overall pick, being there probably wouldn't be a lot of
39:09
impactful defensive players available in that spot.
39:13
ESP NS Jordan Ronan reports that the number 10 overall pick was
39:21
the best offer the Giants were going to get for Lawrence before
39:25
the draft. Reports say that Lawrence was
39:28
frustrated in the previous years with Joe Shane, especially when
39:33
they parted ways with both Leonard Williams in 2023 and
39:37
Saquon Barkley in 2024, both of which were close friends of his.
39:43
The Giants were reportedly willing to give him a raise from
39:47
the 18,000,000 he was due this season, but Lawrence still felt
39:52
that the Giants were being disrespectful in contract
39:56
negotiations. Lawrence had 34341 tackles, 108
40:02
pressures, 103 quarterback hits. And 30.5 sacks in seven seasons
40:09
with the Giants mostly playing nose tackle.
40:14
Well, all right, so Fish was jumping for joy because I came
40:20
out and said that this team was not getting a first round draft
40:23
pick. So if if if no, I'm not, I'm not
40:27
retracting. I'm going to give you I'm going
40:28
to give you my take on this. Dexter Lawrence was not 100%
40:33
healthy last year. He was not.
40:35
Everybody knows he forced his way in that lineup because he
40:39
wanted an extension. He wanted more money in the
40:42
offseason because that signing bonus really, really just paid
40:45
off that big contract that the Giants signed a couple of years
40:49
ago with him. So he wanted more money.
40:51
He believed he is the best nose tackle in all of football, which
40:55
he is. The numbers would tell you he
40:57
is. Him and Jones are the two best
41:00
and you have Quinton Williams, you have other guys that are
41:02
right behind it, but this guy is the best at his position.
41:06
No argument, said I I've said that this guy was their best
41:09
player. So think about this.
41:12
Joe Shane, since he's been here, has dropped Leonard Williams,
41:18
who became an All Pro player with Seattle.
41:21
This guy won a Super Bowl with Seattle and he was a big part of
41:24
that. He dropped Saquon Barkley, who
41:27
then almost broke Eric Dickerson's record and won a
41:31
Super Bowl with the Eagles, and now he sends Lawrence to the
41:37
Bengals, who their worst situation going into the
41:41
offseason after losing Trey Hendrickson is.
41:44
They need a leader on his defense and they bring the best
41:47
nose tackle and all the football for the number 10 pick.
41:51
That doesn't guarantee them anything.
41:54
Nothing it does. No, it doesn't because I could
41:58
go through. I could go through.
42:00
Think about this. If you look at in the last 10
42:03
years, the 5th pick and the 10th pick, Tell me how many one of
42:07
those players became superstars. Tell me that if you look.
42:12
Because I say, here you go, This is what you do.
42:14
I'm you go all the way to the top.
42:16
Let hold on. Let me finish.
42:18
Let me finish, I'll let you take, I'll let you give your
42:21
take and you can wipe your ass with it.
42:22
I could care less. Stay off the toilet.
42:26
Listen, I've I've been on a toilet all day, so that those,
42:29
those that, that cheese last night really made me raunchy,
42:34
but that's a whole another thing.
42:35
But. Don't squeeze the cheese like.
42:37
I did. I did.
42:37
I squeezed the cheese last night and I almost got embarrassed
42:39
doing it. Anyways, my thought here is you
42:45
have a new coach here, John Harbaugh.
42:49
They have this kid who everybody keeps talking about, Sonny
42:52
Styles. I love this kid.
42:54
He could be Ray Lewis. Everybody could be Ray Lewis.
42:57
But there has been no Ray Lewis ever in this league since he's
43:01
left. Just just throwing that out
43:03
there for you guys. But John Horrible wasn't the
43:06
guy. He wasn't the coach when Ray
43:08
Lewis was drafted. He wasn't the coach when Ed Reed
43:12
was drafted. So now we're hearing, well, the
43:14
New York Giants can get Sonny Styles and this kid Downs and
43:18
they can get their safety in the future and they can get their
43:21
linebacker, their leader of their defense.
43:23
And this team could be explosive defensively.
43:27
They were explosive defensively last year.
43:30
Dexter Lawrence wasn't 100% healthy and he was still getting
43:32
triple team. If you look at the pressures, if
43:35
you look at what Dexter Lawrence was taking, not healthy last
43:38
year. He was defending off offensive
43:41
lineman. There are 2 * 3 players at
43:43
sometimes. Watch the games, watch the
43:45
games, watch the clips. I did and he wasn't healthy.
43:49
He had one arm. He was using one arm last year.
43:52
Think about that. And now he's going into a season
43:56
where he's 100% healthy. He's 27 years old, he's in the
43:59
prime of his career, and you're going to tell me that Dexter
44:02
Lawrence isn't going to figure things out?
44:05
You guys are out of your friggin minds, Giant fans.
44:09
If you're going to sit here today and tell me right now that
44:13
you are happy Dexter Lawrence is not here this year for your
44:17
team, they should have fired Joe Shane.
44:20
They should have fired that Pee Wee.
44:23
That man has ruined this organization.
44:25
He hasn't made this organization better.
44:27
He's traded away or he's let go of pieces that have helped other
44:31
teams win championships, big parts of those championships.
44:37
And but Joe Shea knows better. Joe Shea knows how to dance
44:41
around. He's got John Mayer and Steve
44:43
Tisch, who hangs out at Epstein Island.
44:46
You know, he's got two people that don't know what they're
44:49
doing anymore. They really don't.
44:52
They should have never fired Tom Coughlin.
44:54
I'll go back at it again. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
44:57
which is going to be, I'm not going to mention what I really
45:00
want to say, but I'm going to throw it at you for my my other
45:05
segment, which is coming up in just a few moments.
45:08
And I, I, I'll, I'll tell you this.
45:10
You're going to like what my golf club's going to be because
45:13
it's definitely funny for all you Giant fans.
45:16
I'm not going to mention it because Fish is like you're
45:18
going to ruin the Golf Club. I'm sorry guys.
45:25
And you can you can ask any analysts and analysts are coming
45:27
out and saying, well, the Giants won this.
45:30
You don't know who they're drafting.
45:32
You don't know what these guys are going to be.
45:35
And I'm sorry. I don't care what he's done.
45:37
I don't care what his draft picks are done.
45:38
In the last two years, I have seen two players that he has let
45:43
go, Williams and Barkley, that have left this organization and
45:48
we're all pro players. They were the best players at
45:51
their positions and won Super Bowls ever since they left the
45:55
New York Giants. That, ladies and gentlemen, will
45:59
tell me one thing. This Dexter Lawrence trade is
46:02
going to be an absolute debacle, debacle for you Giant fans.
46:08
And you want to sit here and say, well, this guy, we give him
46:10
five years, he'll figure things out.
46:11
Then we got to pay him. I, I, let's ask Joe Shane what
46:14
he did at the cornerback position.
46:17
What's he done at the cornerback position?
46:20
I would love to hear it. Let's hear it.
46:23
Bringing in free agents. Oh, adding other bad players to
46:26
my roster, please. There is nothing that he has
46:30
done for this organization. Oh, he added Jackson Dart.
46:33
We don't even know what Jackson Dart is.
46:37
We don't even know what he is. You know you got a glimpse.
46:40
You can't say you don't know what he.
46:42
Is we don't the guy you got a glimpse the guy wait a second, a
46:46
glimpse. He is a running quarterback that
46:48
is not sliding right And he could be on the he could be on
46:51
the IL before you know it. This guy's going to get killed.
46:54
He's he's Mark Sanchez ask maybe they should bring in Aaron Boone
46:58
to teach him how to slide. Oh, stop, stop this.
47:04
And every giant fan said this guy was going to win rookie of
47:06
the year, which he wasn't. He wasn't he wasn't the best
47:10
rookie guys stop. He's better than Ward.
47:13
Ward had nothing on Tennessee, no offensive line, no running
47:18
game, no nothing. And now everybody, Robert Saul
47:21
is not anything good. I'll tell you that Bambi is is
47:24
definitely going to choke over there with Dabel.
47:26
But I think Dabel will help Ward develop as a quarterback because
47:29
he is one of those guys that I would say is somewhat of a
47:32
quarterback whisperer. Don't worry, they also got $22
47:34
million a year. Wandale Robinson.
47:36
Oh, that's even better. Thank you for The Jets not
47:39
making that move. I was very happy about that
47:41
because I was listening and I was hearing some of the all
47:44
these Grapevine things from these analysts in these
47:47
podcasts. Oh my God, they're interested in
47:49
Robinson. What do you think?
47:51
I'll tell you what I think the fact here is for you giant fans,
47:57
I really hope that your number 5 pick and your number 10 pick is
48:03
a slam dunk. But I'm I'm throwing and I'm
48:06
giving you a fair warning here. If anybody believes that Joe
48:11
Shane is going to get this right, you, my friends and all
48:15
you Giant fans are sadly, sadly mistaken because I don't trust
48:21
that guy at all. He should be gone.
48:24
Dexter Lawrence should be here. I would be pissed off.
48:27
That's my best player. He is my best player.
48:30
Saquon was my best player. Williams was my third best
48:33
player. You traded your three best
48:36
players for garbage. Garbage.
48:40
And I'm going to tell you this, first round draft picks mean
48:42
nothing because if you've watched the NFL draft, we've
48:46
seen this many, many times. You usually look at your draft
48:50
and you look at what you do in the 3rd and 4th and 5th rounds.
48:54
That's when you really consider that draft to be great.
48:58
And if you think 2 first round draft picks mean that this is a
49:02
slam dunk for the New York Giants and John Harbaugh, I'm
49:07
going to have some breakfasts on Sunday laughing all the way to
49:13
the game. And, and, and really, yeah, I
49:16
like my breakfast. I like my waffles, my French
49:18
toast. I mean, I'm a breakfast guy.
49:20
I like, I like my breakfast because I'm not going to be, if
49:22
I'm a Giant fan, I'm not going to eat dinner after the games.
49:24
Because watching Dexter Lawrence become an All Pro player again
49:29
this year with the Bengals and helping the Bengals go all the
49:31
way to a Super Bowl, because I'm going to tell you this right
49:33
now, this would be. This.
49:35
Would be This would be an absolute drive.
49:38
Could you imagine this, that Dexter Lawrence in the next two
49:41
years wins a Super Bowl with the Bengals?
49:43
Then you have three guys, three guys that Joe friggin Shane has
49:48
let go and go to other teams, become All Pro Players and
49:53
become elite by winning a World World Series, winning a Super
49:57
Bowl championship. It's a team sport, man.
50:01
But again, this is a microcosm of player relationship issues
50:03
that we've seen with other GMs too, that Joe Shane tries to
50:07
operate. He came from the Bills.
50:09
He they were successful over there when he was the assistant
50:11
GM, not the main GM of Brandon Bean.
50:13
So they try to operate the same way, which you can get away with
50:16
if you're the Bills, which you can get away with if you're the
50:18
Chiefs. Getting rid of Tyree Kill after
50:19
they lose in the AFC championship game, getting rid
50:21
of Trent Mcduffey this year after they miss the playoffs.
50:23
You can get away with that if you're a stable organization
50:26
like that. The Giants can't afford to get
50:28
so cute like that the way they did.
50:30
I didn't realize even send back to 2024 like that In 2023 was
50:33
when they made Leonard Williams straight at the time, which
50:35
obviously had a bad year after he signed the contract, but he
50:37
had a Goodyear the year before. And like you said, since you've
50:40
gone to Seattle, good read to they've had other good defensive
50:42
players, but he played very well over there.
50:44
And then Saquon Barkley, that was rock bottom if you were, if
50:47
you're a Giants fan in 2024 with them winning a Super Bowl and
50:51
the Giants going 3 and 14. So Joe Shane is not the guy for
50:54
player relationship issues whatsoever.
50:55
You're right, he shouldn't have. Fired.
50:58
After the Saquon. Year, that's what I would be
51:02
singing to all the giant fans after this draft.
51:04
You are. You are finding a way to turn an
51:08
obvious win into something. Oh, an obvious win.
51:13
Harold Of course, the draft is a crapshoot, but if you draft in
51:16
the top ten, you got a 70% historical chance of hitting on
51:20
that pick, really with a good 35% chance of becoming an all
51:24
pro at some point in his career. If you get later picks or you
51:27
have second round, you have a lower percent chance.
51:29
So when you're playing cards, you want to have better cards in
51:32
your hand, just like you want to have better draft picks.
51:35
Yeah. What's the Joe Shane percentage?
51:36
Evan Neal. Joe Shane, Look, Chris
51:39
Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker.
51:40
He was a terrible poker player. A blind squirrel finds another,
51:43
but twice. You know the clock is wrong, you
51:46
know you can find the right time twice a day.
51:49
You know what? Maybe Joe Shane probably, and I
51:52
would have bet his last draft because I don't know if he stays
51:55
with the team after the draft, but he gets to stay for this 15
51:58
and 10, Woolworth 5 and dime. Look at Joey, Joey Woolworth
52:03
here getting picks five and five and dime for the draft.
52:07
But doesn't it make a lot of sense that the Bengals are the
52:10
stupid organization that trades this?
52:12
We they wouldn't pay Trey Hendrickson, right?
52:16
And now they are extending Dexter Lawrence, giving him
52:20
guaranteed money when they did not have to do that and gave up
52:24
draft capital that no other team in the league was willing to go
52:27
near. So if no one else was willing to
52:30
give a first round pick, how do you get the 10th pick overall?
52:32
But again, the the Bengals were kind of stuck in a weird dilemma
52:35
because they they're they need to edge rushing hell badly or
52:38
get a chance. Ruben Bayne A10 with the the off
52:40
field issues with the short arms, because Bailey's probably
52:42
not going to be there. Caleb Downs probably wouldn't
52:44
have been been there for them. Like that's the other option
52:47
you're looking at. Then you are.
52:48
You could you could trade back, I guess, But still like you're
52:51
the impact player is Dexter Lawrence for that team to make a
52:54
spark to the rest of that offensive line, that defensive
52:57
line they signed, boy a mafia. From the Seahawks in the
53:00
offseason, right? Yeah, he's a bit.
53:01
He's a good edge. He's good.
53:04
Yeah, Jonathan Allen was is another detector that they they
53:07
gave him two year deal as well. So they had defensive issues
53:10
their whole. Not anymore.
53:13
It's all about defense. That's all they had.
53:14
Not anymore. All the offense in the world
53:16
with no defensive pressure. Not so cute anymore.
53:19
I got, I got something I think breaks Errol's thing here.
53:23
Oh, what's it saying that the Bengals gonna be?
53:24
Here comes, here comes the giant fan.
53:26
Here we go. Let's hear it.
53:28
Dexter Lawrence gets double team 71% of the time.
53:31
That's absurd. It's it's the most I think
53:34
anywhere. It might him or the guy on
53:36
Tennessee. I forget his name right now.
53:37
Who's the great team? Yeah, Simmons is great too,
53:40
right? Those are the two guys.
53:42
But Lawrence's numbers dropped off huge last year.
53:45
He only had a half a sack. I know you can say he was.
53:47
He was hurt. He was playing with one arm.
53:50
Not the whole season. He was not the whole season.
53:52
Yes, he was. He got hurt in the second game
53:55
of the season. He.
53:56
Was hurt Thibodeau's career? He was hurt in the second game
54:00
of the season. That's, well, that's my point,
54:02
right? You free up guys like Abdul
54:04
Carter when you have him on the field.
54:06
You free up Thibodeau to do his, you know.
54:10
I think that's our great G, our great DC.
54:12
Last year, Shane Bowen, he, he wasn't much better.
54:14
Right. But here's the thing.
54:16
You need other guys, right? The Bengals need other guys to
54:20
take advantage of Dexter. And if Dexter's pass rush win
54:23
rate dropped by 5 like from like it fell to 7.85% from 13.25% the
54:32
year before, that means you are no longer that good compared to
54:36
how you were. Something happened to you that.
54:39
Well look, it could have been his attitude because if they
54:41
didn't pay him because of Joe Shane, I agree with you.
54:43
It could have been the fact he had no guaranteed money.
54:45
It could have been the fact he was playing hurt and he's been
54:48
mad all these years and maybe he'll have a chip on his
54:50
shoulder. You bet he probably will this
54:51
year, but he's getting older. Yeah, but he but he's.
54:56
Still, you want to pay that guy you want?
54:58
All time 27. Speed position you were worried
55:01
about? Stop, stop, stop.
55:04
Stop it or get a guy on a rookie contract at #10 and get him for
55:09
five years who might be an All Star.
55:12
Now, Oh my. And for the next 6 years instead
55:14
of maybe get one or two more good years out of Dexter it.
55:16
Was maybe what 1D tackle death project in the first round?
55:20
Well, I don't think it's D tackle, I'm just saying.
55:22
Right, you're. Not to get D tackle at 10 now.
55:25
The deep tackle's going to go in the second round.
55:26
We'll talk about that when we get to the draft late after the.
55:30
Test. For sure, and the Giants have
55:33
things they can do, but it this is a win.
55:36
For Joe Shane. Well, it's a win for Cincinnati
55:39
until the draft, then we'll be able to dictate whether or not
55:42
this was a win or not, right? So Congrats to Lawrence for
55:45
getting his money. The reason why he left the
55:47
Giants was because they didn't give him no guaranteed money.
55:49
And you don't want to go out there and play with no
55:51
guaranteed money where you don't have that extra cushion in
55:55
regards to an event that something you hurt.
55:57
So you played hurt last year. No guaranteed money.
55:59
They can cut you or release you at any point.
56:01
So that's one reason why I would say that he made a decision that
56:05
listen, if you guys ain't going to give me an increase in my
56:07
guaranteed money, then I'm gonna just go elsewhere.
56:09
Which he actually went to a good promising location in Cincinnati
56:14
because they had all the offense in the world.
56:15
They got a defensive line with Jonathan and mafia over there.
56:19
So they they pretty much set. Now it's up to the Giants in
56:23
this draft to decide whether or not they're going to make the
56:25
right decision and picking the right players.
56:27
So I think they take Love and then I think if they can get
56:30
Sonny, I don't know if he'll be there, but they're going to have
56:32
to fulfill that D type of spot immediately in the second round.
56:36
And I think you guys got one second round pick.
56:38
So you might have to figure out how to trade up and kind of get
56:41
some guys in there. Look at Miami, look at a Philly,
56:44
you know, somebody who got already pretty much established
56:47
in that position and then move forward.
56:51
With each other. The Giants and Eagles would
56:53
never trade it with each other. I know they would never trade,
56:55
but I'm just saying like those guys that's already pretty much
56:58
Seattle, you know, somebody that I can't think of all the teams
57:01
that's ahead of them in the second round, but somebody who.
57:04
Maybe they'll trade with the Bills it.
57:06
Looks like the Patriots are getting a wide receiver.
57:09
A.J. Brown looks like he's going to
57:10
be trading. Says that's going to be a post
57:12
June one thing because of the contract.
57:14
For them, they need a wide receiver.
57:15
That makes sense. That certainly makes sense.
57:18
Everybody pulls Stefan. I don't know if Stefan Diggs
57:23
wants to be back. I think after all that, I don't
57:25
think they. Want Stefan Diggs together?
57:27
What could possibly? Be be on fire.
57:31
I'm sorry, they're not doing it in Vegas.
57:32
I'm sorry if you're a giant fan today, you cannot be happy that
57:37
your best. Play No, no, no, no.
57:38
Optimistic. You can't say it can't be it's.
57:40
Not happy. I haven't been happy as a Giants
57:43
fan in 15 years. Stop.
57:45
Stop complaining. I haven't been happy as a fan 15
57:48
years ago. I haven't been a happy Jet fan.
57:50
I wasn't even alive when I should be a happy Jet fan
57:52
because it was in 19. 60 you're happy this year I.
57:55
Told you oh, stop with this. Stop with this.
57:56
They're not just. Playing the playoff.
57:58
Party. Stop, Stop, stop.
58:01
I'll tell you what it does for the Giants though.
58:03
Oh, God, It opens up cap room, Let's face it, $13 million of
58:07
cap room because they trade Dexter Lawrence.
58:10
Now they have that if they move Thibodeau, which they're talking
58:13
about a third. If they don't get a third,
58:14
it'll. Probably not getting a third for
58:16
Devon Thibodeau. Well, you said they weren't
58:18
getting a. 1st for they're not well, Dexter, Dexter Lawrence,
58:23
that's the. Rumor.
58:24
Here's the problem. Here's the problem, here's the
58:26
problems, here's the problems with Fish.
58:28
And everybody knows that Fish is a giant fan.
58:30
That's all he is. And he loves to sit there and
58:33
talk all these great things. He thought they were getting
58:35
this guy and that guy in free agency and they weren't getting
58:38
any of those guys. And now he says, well, they're
58:40
going to have money so they can get this guy and that guy and
58:43
they're not going to get any of those guys.
58:44
The problem with, and I'll say this, and I'm not being hard on
58:47
the Giants, just like I'm I'm very hard with The Jets.
58:51
Giant fans are lost, just like Yankee fans are lost and Met
58:56
fans are lost. They like to believe that this
58:59
is going to make a difference and this is going to help them
59:01
and this is going to set them up in a really good position.
59:05
You had the best, arguably nose tackle in all of football.
59:12
And I don't care what he did last year because he wasn't
59:15
healthy. That's a fact.
59:17
Everybody knows he was not 100% healthy.
59:19
And all you had to do was get rid of Joe Shane, who, by the
59:22
way, you're probably getting rid of after this year because this
59:25
is Don Harbaugh's team and he's going to bring in his own GM.
59:28
So all you had to do was get rid of this man and you would still
59:33
have Dexter Lawrence. He would have taken that one
59:35
year extension. You would have negotiated
59:37
another deal with a new GM name there and you would have been
59:40
happy because you would have had the best nose tackle in the
59:42
league. Now you're hoping that.
59:45
And by the way, I don't I don't believe what everybody says.
59:48
Oh, this is a weak draft. That's a weak draft and that's a
59:50
weak draft. You know, experts are saying
59:53
this is a very weak draft as far as certain positions.
59:56
And I'm that's fine. I don't believe that.
59:58
I have to see what these guys transition is transition into as
1:00:02
an NFL player. But I'm going to tell you this
1:00:05
if you're a giant fan right now. And you're going to sit here and
1:00:09
you're going to tell me, well, we're going to have $13 million
1:00:12
on the cap. And.
1:00:15
Oh, we're going to have the 5th and 10th pick and these guys
1:00:18
almost guarantee you that in the future they'll be all pro
1:00:21
players. How about this?
1:00:23
I can point out many guys that The Jets have drafted in the top
1:00:27
ten and have failed with those guys.
1:00:30
And one guy that I can remember very, very closely is an Ohio
1:00:35
State Buckeye in Vernon Galston. I remember him very well.
1:00:39
What he did at the combine. This guy's going to be the best
1:00:42
linebacker in the NFL. The guy had one tackle in his
1:00:47
whole career as a New York Jet. And by the way, you know how he
1:00:50
had that tackle on special teams?
1:00:52
Oh yeah. Please.
1:00:53
How about please? How about a fifth round pick
1:00:55
that played nose tackle for The Jets?
1:00:57
Name Snacks Harrison that ended that ended up being one of the
1:01:01
best in the league for a number of years in All Pro and you can
1:01:04
find that guy. He doesn't have to be a three
1:01:06
down guy. He could be a 2 down guy at nose
1:01:08
tackle and then you get some passengers use a NASCAR.
1:01:11
Package Hello hey let me let me get a.
1:01:14
Logical statement. You're trying to rebuild Dexter
1:01:19
Lawrence, right? Yeah.
1:01:20
You can't rebuild Dexter Lawrence.
1:01:22
No one's getting double team 70% of the time like Dexter Lawrence
1:01:25
and able to do the things he could do.
1:01:26
But you can get a nose tackle that comes off the field in 3rd
1:01:29
downs and have a NASCAR package with Abdul Carter and Kevon
1:01:33
Thibodeau if you keep them and Brian Burns and you have three
1:01:36
of those guys going crazy inside.
1:01:38
Do you know? Do you know from?
1:01:39
Last year, Alexander is the three tech you know you got you
1:01:42
got guys. Do you know why?
1:01:44
Do you? Do you know why Brian Burns had
1:01:47
all those sacks last year is because Dexter Lawrence was
1:01:50
getting double teams. That's why.
1:01:52
I will guarantee you I so good on the other side, all right?
1:01:56
I will guarantee you. I will.
1:01:58
I will guarantee you Burns will not have that season this year.
1:02:02
I will guarantee you I will. I will guarantee.
1:02:05
You competition. I will guarantee well.
1:02:08
They're going to slide it to Carter, though, because Carter's
1:02:10
bet Carter was. Carter is better, but he hasn't
1:02:13
proved. He hasn't proved himself.
1:02:15
I'm just saying last year though, you know what, what the
1:02:17
coaches are looking at. Here we go.
1:02:18
They're going to look at birds, no?
1:02:20
Here we go, analytics, analytics.
1:02:22
Getting by the guy in front of you, right?
1:02:24
Are you getting by the guy in front of you?
1:02:25
They use that quick pressure stat now.
1:02:27
He led the league. Abdul Carter, he became a
1:02:30
problem the last half of the season and I expected to
1:02:34
continue. If they can figure out the the
1:02:36
nose situation, they get someone who's halfway decent in there.
1:02:40
It's not going to be Dexter, but you can get by with it if you
1:02:43
improve the rest of the team and not have Shane Bowen be your DC.
1:02:47
But. Birds got it.
1:02:47
Birds going to be the main focus until Abdul Carter get some
1:02:51
numbers to for sure playoff. We all know he's a pre
1:02:54
connection and we hope that, you know, he comes out this year and
1:02:57
then explode and whatnot. But the birds got the numbers.
1:03:00
So officers are going to focus and target him first.
1:03:02
And then if if I do a car to come out of it, then he'll be
1:03:05
able to slide and double team him.
1:03:08
I got one last. Middle section though, for sure,
1:03:10
yeah. Yeah, we'll definitely get into
1:03:12
that when we get to the players. But look, the agent for Dexter
1:03:16
Lawrence is this guy named Joel Siegel.
1:03:18
He's the CEO of WME Sports. He apparently, and this came out
1:03:22
beat writer Chris Bisignano on his podcast Giants Insider told
1:03:26
us that agent forbade Dexter Lawrence and and John Harbaugh
1:03:30
to ever talk. He wouldn't let Harbaugh try to
1:03:32
convince him to stay. This was an agent power play
1:03:36
where he was trying to get Joe Shane fired because they thought
1:03:39
the Giants had no leverage because the only thing that
1:03:42
teams are going to offer was a second and a fourth or something
1:03:45
like that for Dexter Lawrence. And they were completely wrong.
1:03:50
They found that apparently they didn't have the leverage.
1:03:53
And it looks like the Giants kind of played them like fools
1:03:56
and played their hand and look at what they get.
1:03:58
They get way more than any team thought.
1:04:00
All the grades online gave the Bengals like AD in this trade
1:04:03
and the Giants and they I agree with you, Dexter Lawrence is
1:04:06
better than he was last year. He's one of the best players the
1:04:08
Giants have ever had. He is.
1:04:10
He had two seasons in 2022, really three to the 2024 that
1:04:15
were three of the best nose tackle seasons anyone's had in
1:04:18
the league. 2025 was going to be a step back, you know, like if
1:04:21
he's 85 to 90% of what he used to be, he's still one of the
1:04:26
best players in the league. He had no knee problems.
1:04:28
Want to pay for that? He had no knee problems, no leg
1:04:30
problems, and that's where he comes off with his strength.
1:04:33
I'm, I'm sure Dexter Lawrence is going to be 100% healthy when it
1:04:36
can't when it comes to his arm this year.
1:04:38
I, I, I will tell you this right now, Dexter Lawrence is going to
1:04:41
be beastly this year on that Bengals defense, especially with
1:04:45
the additions they have so. You got you got Cincinnati going
1:04:47
to the Super Bowl, too. Say I, I, I think they, they
1:04:50
can. Yeah, I, I think they can.
1:04:53
I don't know yet. I have to see how everything
1:04:55
pans out for these teams. You made a prediction.
1:04:58
I've just told you two players that have won the Super Bowl in
1:05:01
the after they get traded within two years.
1:05:03
So yes, yes, I think the Bengals could be a team, especially in
1:05:07
the AFC, up and down. You don't know what team's going
1:05:10
to be good or bad. Yeah, I think they can win the
1:05:12
Super Bowl. They've got the weapons, they
1:05:14
have the quarterback, they have the defense now and they got a
1:05:17
man as a a beast, a manchild over there in the middle.
1:05:21
So yes, I do believe they could win a Super Bowl in two years.
1:05:25
But I'm not going to sit here and you can kill.
1:05:27
You can go back and forth and argue with me till I'm blue in
1:05:30
the face. It's not going to make a
1:05:31
difference. Because the truth is, no matter
1:05:34
what you see and what they're getting or what everybody is
1:05:37
saying and the predictions and the percentages and all that
1:05:40
other stuff, draft picks are draft picks.
1:05:44
And then everybody says that. Everybody says that.
1:05:47
I can tell you that most of these first round picks have
1:05:50
been more bust than home runs. More bust than home runs, so.
1:05:55
That's basically based off the picks though.
1:05:57
That's not based off the players.
1:05:58
When I look. At the times it's bad situations
1:06:01
and bad coaching and bad teams and bad genes.
1:06:04
We just heard about an agent telling his player not even talk
1:06:07
to a head coach because he wants to get him on the market.
1:06:10
Like you don't understand the nuances behind the scenes which
1:06:13
impacts the game. And that's what I'm saying.
1:06:15
I don't understand it. I'm a Jet fan.
1:06:18
I understand it very well. You're going to tell me I don't
1:06:21
understand something I do because I've been watching it my
1:06:24
whole life. I've been watching bad football
1:06:28
my whole life. You.
1:06:30
Don't believe in coaching? No, that's not what.
1:06:32
You don't believe in the gyms you don't believe in none of
1:06:34
those being the issue. That's not true.
1:06:37
That's not true. You play the players.
1:06:39
Not true. That's not true.
1:06:40
You obviously don't listen to me at all if you're telling me.
1:06:44
Player that you like and you say, oh, that's not true.
1:06:47
That's not. True, That's not true.
1:06:49
You're taking words out of my mouth.
1:06:50
I have never, I have never attacked coaching and and GM's
1:06:54
and and thrown GM's under the bus.
1:06:56
I don't like certain coaches. Yes, I stick up for great
1:06:59
coaching. I stick up for Bill Belichick.
1:07:01
I can't stand the man. I stick up for him all the time.
1:07:03
I think he's the greatest of all time.
1:07:05
I'm not going to sit here and beat around the Bush.
1:07:06
He is. So I'm not going to I'm not
1:07:08
going to throw people. Bill Parcells was a great coach.
1:07:11
I'm sorry, everybody looks at John Harbaugh and look at his
1:07:15
success. Yes, he won a Super Bowl.
1:07:17
He won a Super Bowl with not his players.
1:07:21
They weren't. He orchestrated a lot.
1:07:24
He came up with yeah. He got a quarterback.
1:07:28
He got a quarterback. Just can't go out there and play
1:07:31
and then just miraculously win. He their strategy, their
1:07:34
schemes, that's he can't just say, oh, he had the talent and
1:07:39
they went win every game. No, that's not how that works.
1:07:42
Are you good? No.
1:07:43
Are you good? I'm sure you're going to say
1:07:45
something else crazy. Yeah, Well, I'm going to tell
1:07:47
you when they won that Super Bowl, they they their
1:07:49
quarterback went on a run that nobody's ever seen before.
1:07:52
When you look at runs that quarterbacks have gone on
1:07:54
probably one of the greatest quarterback runs of all time.
1:07:57
Did he ever do that again in the playoffs?
1:07:59
No, he did not. So you sit here and you're going
1:08:02
to tell me that was John Harbaugh throwing the ball, that
1:08:05
guy stepping into the pass? No.
1:08:08
And I'm going to tell you this right now, they weren't his
1:08:11
players. So if you're going to sit here
1:08:13
and tell me that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and sucks was his
1:08:16
player, you're lying. You're on.
1:08:21
The streets and Ray Lewis was just out there calling their own
1:08:26
place. Never look to the sideline,
1:08:28
never listen to the speaker inside a helmet.
1:08:31
And Joe Flacco never heard, got one piece of coaching advice
1:08:35
from anybody on the sideline and he just winged it all the way to
1:08:38
the Super Bowl. I'm going to tell you you're
1:08:40
lying. John Harbaugh is going to be
1:08:43
with the Giants no more than three years.
1:08:45
And he will be. Fired.
1:08:46
That's ridiculous. He will be fired.
1:08:48
He will be fired. He will be fired.
1:08:51
Super Bowl, he will be fired. You remember I said this, He
1:08:55
will not last that contract. How will they fire him with two
1:08:58
Super Bowls under his belt after at that point?
1:09:00
Oh, you think they're going to win 2 Super Bowls?
1:09:02
OK, now you sound, you know he sounds now.
1:09:05
Now you know what sounds like sounds like a beat.
1:09:07
Won't go get a beat and he won't go get a safety.
1:09:12
Hey, I'll tell you right now, he's going to take a linebacker
1:09:15
and a safety in the top of this. Strategy.
1:09:17
Tell us five things good about Joe Shawn for the gym, for the
1:09:21
for the Giants. Joe.
1:09:23
Shane Joe Shane say 5 things about him.
1:09:25
He's really he's a team. No, not confused him.
1:09:27
Because he said he don't. He don't take his shots at G of
1:09:30
the coaches. You said you, Mr. Earl, that's
1:09:34
here. You want me to see five things?
1:09:37
Five things? Yeah.
1:09:38
I'll tell you 5 good things. He came.
1:09:40
He came from the Buffalo Bills. That's one.
1:09:44
That's one. That's why the Giants brought
1:09:46
him in. He thought he well, I thought
1:09:49
Dabel was going to be a good coach.
1:09:50
It was a good addition to the New York Giants for one year.
1:09:54
And he fell apart because he can't handle these coaching
1:09:56
staff. So I guess that I blame that on
1:09:59
the coach, not not Joe Shade. So I thought he was right about
1:10:02
Dabel at one point. Five things.
1:10:06
I can't think of anything else. I can't.
1:10:09
He's a nice man. I've got it, I've got it, I've
1:10:13
got it. He was his son, was the one that
1:10:17
told him to draft certain players and he actually agreed
1:10:22
with him. So I guess that's a nail.
1:10:24
Oh, by the way, he was on Hard Knocks and he threw himself
1:10:26
under the bus when he was talking to Saquon Barkley.
1:10:28
That was great, too. I mean, the man is an idiot.
1:10:31
He is an idiot. And I'm assuming he's not doing
1:10:35
most of the work now, though I, I assume it's hard, right?
1:10:38
He's the point of this woman named Donna Ponte.
1:10:40
She's from Staten Island. It's fire.
1:10:43
She she's from Staten Island. Slam Dog.
1:10:47
Wonderful. Just saying.
1:10:49
A local. Person Oh, I'm sorry, it's
1:10:51
local. Local.
1:10:52
Italian. She comes from stinky Staten
1:10:54
Island. Could be the first female GM
1:10:57
after they let go of Shane, which is interesting as well.
1:11:01
Look, you're right about he didn't draft Lewis, he didn't
1:11:04
draft Ed Reed, but he did draft Kyle Hamilton.
1:11:06
He did try to get Patrick Queen to be a good player, and then
1:11:09
when he wasn't, they went and got Roquan Smith and paid him a
1:11:11
lot of money. Yeah, you're right.
1:11:12
The reason why he's doing those things is because in his
1:11:15
defense, the green dot is super important.
1:11:19
The guy who's calling the defense on the field, it's going
1:11:21
to be two guys that call the defense.
1:11:23
There's one guy calling the secondary and there's one guy.
1:11:26
Calling. You brought in three, you
1:11:28
brought in three guys, three offensive coordinators.
1:11:31
It makes no sense. I'm not talking about the
1:11:33
offense. I'm not talking about the
1:11:35
offense. It makes no.
1:11:36
Sense the offense is a working progress.
1:11:37
Oh. Yeah, it's a work in progress.
1:11:39
All right, you're. Out.
1:11:39
It'll be a work in progress. Won't be healthy for the
1:11:42
beginning. All run for all you giant fans.
1:11:44
This isn't the year that win the Super Bowl.
1:11:46
It's in a couple of. Years now, yeah.
1:11:47
Couple. Of years.
1:11:48
Just a couple, just a couple. I was a Jet fan 10 years ago.
1:11:52
Just a couple more years we got Sam Donald.
1:11:54
Couple more years, let's just put it on the 20.
1:11:57
Rick Johnson. Takes That's after the three
1:11:59
Cowboys Super Bowls in a row. That's why I get so pissed off
1:12:02
because I watched Sam Donald hoist that freaking trophy in
1:12:05
the last season and it makes me sick to my stomach because The
1:12:08
Jets had the guy and decided to part ways with him because they
1:12:12
gave him no weapons. You you know, the two guys
1:12:15
though, would be Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs that would do
1:12:18
those positions on the defense. It's those two guys and they now
1:12:21
have a chance to get both of them and that would be
1:12:24
incredible for that defense to have two guys to I'm.
1:12:27
Done with this conversation. I'm sick.
1:12:29
I don't think Love will be there.
1:12:30
If Love's there, it's a whole different story.
1:12:31
But I think Love's going before I'm here in Arizona at 3:00 to
1:12:35
take Love and I'm here. And if not, he goes at 4:00.
1:12:38
So we'll get into that in a little bit.
1:12:40
But Errol, you know, just to wrap up this whole Giants thing.
1:12:44
Are you sure I'm? Very happy, but not happy
1:12:46
because I but not I'm happy they've got as much as they did.
1:12:50
But as a defensive line coach, an offensive line coach, what
1:12:53
Dexter Lawrence was able to do as a Giant shouldn't be able.
1:12:57
To. I'm going to tell you this, I
1:12:58
thought. That much pressure, just know.
1:13:00
Just think about this. The Jets got for Quinton
1:13:02
Williams a first and a second, and all they got was a first, a
1:13:05
first for Dexter Lawrence. Makes sense.
1:13:08
Makes sense. I'm sorry, Giant fans, it's.
1:13:10
Great. They got, they got a better
1:13:11
first all. They got a better first, a
1:13:13
better. First in a worse draft.
1:13:15
In a worse draft. Next year's draft.
1:13:17
Doesn't matter. That means it's a lot better
1:13:18
though, because there's only 15 big players.
1:13:20
They got 16. Stop, stop with this.
1:13:22
Giants have 10. Stop with this.
1:13:24
That's what you're saying, if that's what you're saying.
1:13:26
I'm saying that The Jets got hey look for Quinn.
1:13:28
Wait, guys, we got our our guest isn't all right.
1:13:30
Let's let's go to the Golf Club, Please, let's go.
1:13:33
This deserves a golf clap. No doubt.
1:13:36
Golf clap. Golf clap.
1:13:40
All right, my golf clap of the day goes to the friendly New
1:13:43
York Giants. And why?
1:13:45
Well, Odell Beckham is trying out.
1:13:48
He's trying out again. Yes, he's going in and he's
1:13:52
figuring out if he's healthy, he's running laps, and he's
1:13:55
doing all that in front of the Giants brass.
1:13:58
And what does that spell? Well, what does that spell?
1:14:01
An absolute catastrophe. You're going to bring this man
1:14:03
back to your organization after him kneeling down and praying to
1:14:08
a a kicking fence or pissing on the end zone.
1:14:14
This is the guy you're going to bring in to help your young wide
1:14:17
receivers. If you bring in somebody like
1:14:19
Jordan or one of these guys, or how about your your guy
1:14:23
neighbors who's coming back from an injury?
1:14:24
This is what the Giants are going to do.
1:14:26
They're going to bring this lackluster personality in your
1:14:31
locker room. Why?
1:14:32
Because he's healthy now and he's 33 years old.
1:14:35
So let me tell you something for you Giant fans.
1:14:38
Another dumb move. Really, really dumb move.
1:14:42
Bringing a man to an organization with a new coach
1:14:46
who, by the way, coached him in Baltimore.
1:14:49
And what did he do in Baltimore, Speedy?
1:14:50
What did Odell Beckham do in Baltimore?
1:14:52
Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing.
1:14:55
And now you're bringing him back.
1:14:57
Or you might bring him back to the New York Giants because he's
1:15:01
a Giants fans favorite. That's what you're doing.
1:15:04
You should have never let go of Saquon Barkley, and that's all
1:15:07
I'm going to say about that. Giant fans, if Odell Beckham
1:15:11
signs a one year contract or whatever they're going to,
1:15:14
they're going to negotiate a contract with him.
1:15:16
This is more of a catastrophe than anything you would want
1:15:21
with your organization. Bringing a personality like that
1:15:23
in a locker room, it doesn't work.
1:15:25
Why? Because Jackson Dart and him are
1:15:27
going to events and they're dancing around and they're
1:15:29
looking so spiffy. It's a joke.
1:15:32
I think it's terrible for any Giant fan to believe that this
1:15:35
works. I understood what they were
1:15:37
doing at the quarterback position last year and bringing
1:15:39
in personalities like that, I do not understand this.
1:15:42
This is a bad move for the New York Giants.
1:15:44
So I don't know if this is a golf clap.
1:15:45
This is a deuce, whatever it is. I had a lot of deuces yesterday.
1:15:49
I'll just deuce it, golf it, whatever the hell you want.
1:15:52
Here it is. Golf clap that golf clap.
1:15:54
That for. Your giant fans.
1:15:56
Welcome back Big Blue obj big. Obj.
1:16:00
Back in the bed and ticket selling.
1:16:02
I'm not even we got a we got a new guest.
1:16:04
I'm not going to throw myself under the bus here.
1:16:06
I'm I'm trying to be nice here, trying to be nice.
1:16:09
I don't want him to think I'm crazy.
1:16:10
Well, I am, but anyways, when we come back, we are going to have
1:16:14
a very special guest. This guy was one of the best
1:16:17
defensive lineman in all of the NFL for three to four years.
1:16:21
This guy was killing people on the defensive side of the ball.
1:16:25
We will be talking to former 10 year defensive tackle Albert
1:16:29
Haynsworth. Titans, Commanders, Patriots,
1:16:33
Buccaneers from 2002 to to 2011. But first, another sport.
1:16:39
Well, another sports minute with the old fish and Giant fans this
1:16:43
is. A New York sports loudmouth
1:16:48
sports minute. All right guys, Aaron Fishman
1:16:52
here with your sports minute. Couple of stories, then we'll
1:16:54
get into the scores going on tonight.
1:16:57
Early Sunday morning in Athens, GA, 2026 NFL Draft prospect wide
1:17:02
receiver Zechariah Branch was arrested by local police on 2
1:17:05
misdemeanor charges of obstructing public sidewalks and
1:17:10
St. prowling and obstruction of a law enforcement officer,
1:17:15
according to the Athens Clarke County arrest log.
1:17:17
He was booked at 1:26 in the morning and released at 344
1:17:20
after posting a $39.00 bond. According to the police report,
1:17:24
officers asked Branch to stop blocking a private sidewalk and
1:17:27
refused to obey officers Quote UN quote verbal lawful commands.
1:17:33
Interesting case here. It's clearly not good for
1:17:36
Branches draft prospects where before this altercation it was
1:17:39
listed at top 100 prospect expected to be drafted midway
1:17:42
through Day 2 of this week's NFL Draft.
1:17:44
Branch we ran A43540 yard dash of the combine Also set the
1:17:48
Georgia single season record of 81 catches in 2025 after
1:17:52
transferring from USC to go along with 811 receiving yards
1:17:55
and six touchdowns. It's No 420 related gas mask
1:17:59
video like Laramie Tunsil all those years ago, but still not a
1:18:03
great look for Branch at a seriously inopportune time for
1:18:06
his career. Everybody remembers the
1:18:09
greatness of Michael Jordan and his six and O record in the NBA
1:18:12
Finals. Obviously before that run in the
1:18:14
90s he faced adversity on his way to greatness, including
1:18:17
facing one of the greatest teams of all time, the 1986 Celtics,
1:18:20
which today is the 40th anniversary of Jordan's
1:18:23
legendary 63 point game against them in the playoffs.
1:18:26
And not to mention the infamous back-to-back champion Bad Boy
1:18:29
Pistons with their Jordan rules before he finally brought broke
1:18:32
through. Well, Jordan has faced similar
1:18:34
challenges in his NASCAR ownership career, but this year
1:18:38
he is having the type of success with his driver Tyler Reddick of
1:18:41
2311 Racing, who has now won his fifth Cup Series event of the
1:18:46
season. Reddick has come from behind
1:18:48
with his come from behind win on Sunday, passing Kyle Larson on
1:18:52
the final lap of overtime becomes just the 4th driver in
1:18:55
NASCAR history to win five of the first nine Cup Series races
1:18:59
of the season. This kid is on fire.
1:19:01
I don't know what to say. I don't think I can cool him
1:19:03
down. Jordan said.
1:19:04
When you win, it's always fun and right now it's fun for
1:19:07
everybody at 2311. Me being here and being able to
1:19:11
see all the wins, I'm so happy for the team.
1:19:13
All four drivers for 2311 finished the race in the top 15
1:19:17
at the Kansas Speedway, with Reddick lauding his legendary
1:19:20
owner along the way. Got to deliver for the boss man.
1:19:23
If he's going to come hang out with us, we have to get him
1:19:26
Dubs. Next week, the Cup Series heads
1:19:28
to the famous Talladega racetrack in Alabama where
1:19:31
Reddick will try for win #6 this season.

1:22:13
This guy has never been on a show and probably is a little
1:22:17
worried because he's seen a little bit of our takes and our
1:22:20
personalities. But don't you be worried my
1:22:23
friend as we are now talking to former 10 year defensive tackle,
1:22:28
the one they call Haynesworth Albert.
1:22:31
Haynesworth, Albert. What's up, buddy?
1:22:34
Oh, not much. What's going on?
1:22:36
The guy What's going on, man? Not much key, What about you?
1:22:39
Don't slow, man. Everything kosher on this end?
1:22:42
Kosher. I like that you celebrate
1:22:45
Passover over there. How cute is that?
1:22:47
Anything over there? I don't.
1:22:49
Know anyways, you know Albert, you've had an unbelievable
1:22:53
career and and I we will get into it we'll get into the NFL
1:22:57
draft because the Giants made a move that people are probably
1:23:01
shaking their heads. Why would they move away from
1:23:04
the best or one of the best nose tackles in all the football?
1:23:07
But that's a whole nother story. But Albert, you're a guy that
1:23:10
has been very successful in a league that's very challenging
1:23:14
and and you have to play at a high level.
1:23:17
The average NFL player only plays three to four years in the
1:23:21
NFL. You play 10 years in the NFL,
1:23:24
which that says a lot about you. You got a big contract from the
1:23:27
Washington Commanders. Tell us a little bit about your
1:23:30
career and your journey to the NFL.
1:23:35
What a career. I mean, like I started playing
1:23:36
football when I was six years old and my mom said one day I
1:23:41
was probably like, you know, 8 or 9 or something like that.
1:23:46
Instead, I was watching a game and it's just like I turned
1:23:49
around and it's like, hey, I'm going to do that and then turn
1:23:52
back around and finish watching the game, which I don't remember
1:23:55
really watching many NFL games or, or games period because I
1:24:00
didn't like to watch them. Once I got a little older, I
1:24:03
like to I like to play it. So I don't know like that, you
1:24:08
know, I I grew up in Hartsfield, South Carolina, so I played
1:24:11
Little League and and, you know, junior high, you know, high
1:24:16
school. Then, of course, went to the
1:24:18
University of Tennessee, you know, had had a good time there.
1:24:23
Amazing, amazing contacts. Somebody still keep in contact
1:24:28
regularly as Coach Fulmer. And then, yeah, then you know,
1:24:32
then I declared for the draft early and ended up at the Titans
1:24:37
and we had a great team. So you're a big man, you're 6/6
1:24:41
as a player, you were 66300 and 35 lbs.
1:24:44
You pushed around people, you knock people around and you
1:24:48
pretty much pushed offensive lines over your career.
1:24:52
When you look at the game now and you look at the transition
1:24:55
of the speed of the game and you look at these offensive
1:24:57
lineman's that they're combines, they're running 4 nines.
1:25:00
And I think there's there was an offensive lineman this year that
1:25:03
ran a 48. And you look at the athletic
1:25:05
gifts that these kids have. What are your thoughts when you
1:25:08
watch these guys run their combine when you were running
1:25:11
your combine 15 years ago? You know, honestly, it don't, it
1:25:16
doesn't really matter to be honest.
1:25:17
Like numbers. I mean, you can, you can put up
1:25:20
numbers like Tarzan, but then play like Jane.
1:25:25
So it don't it don't really matter what what you're running.
1:25:28
I mean, it's, it's good. It's good and great, but like
1:25:32
when you're when you're lined up one-on-one against somebody, I
1:25:35
mean, that's, that's where it's going to really stand out.
1:25:38
And, and you know, just the things that we did at Tennessee,
1:25:43
we didn't really care about what the offense did.
1:25:45
We're going to run our we're going to run our defense and we
1:25:48
dare you to stop it. So they just had to figure out,
1:25:51
you know, how to deal with things.
1:25:54
So Jeff Fisher, you obviously coach, played with him for him
1:25:57
for a while. He always one of the most
1:25:58
interesting coaches. I went to the Rams too, and now
1:26:01
he's very outspoken on social media now, kind of like trolling
1:26:04
things and stuff like that. What was he like as a coach on
1:26:06
the field and off the field? I mean, he was, he was cool.
1:26:10
He's pretty much like he was on the field.
1:26:13
I mean, you know, kind of like make jokes and things like that.
1:26:16
But it was really more like Jeff didn't really have a whole lot
1:26:19
to do with our defense, to be honest.
1:26:21
It was really Jim Schwartz that control, of course, control the
1:26:25
defense and then getting with, you know, a lot of input with
1:26:30
his with Jim Washburn our the line coach.
1:26:34
So he's the one that really kind of like like showed like, hey,
1:26:38
let my guys just do this. And then we're going to we'll
1:26:42
we'll we'll control the line and then everything else it'll play
1:26:46
it for itself. I mean, we only ran like, I
1:26:48
mean, I think we ran 22 plays. I mean, it was like hot, which
1:26:54
is almost like a passing down for us or pass, pass rush for us
1:26:59
or over. And then mostly, mostly we just
1:27:04
ran hot. It was just like, oh, you don't
1:27:06
want to run a game on 1st and 10, you know, so just be smart.
1:27:10
But I can line up pretty much where I wanted to line up and do
1:27:14
what I wanted to. So I mean, that's why you saw so
1:27:16
much success with Jim Schwartz, you know, in these these last
1:27:21
years. I mean, you look at he got a guy
1:27:24
that has the most sax in NFL history, you know, in one
1:27:30
season. Miles Garrett, you know, I mean,
1:27:32
can't forget about Jim Schwartz. I mean, he let him.
1:27:35
He let him. And you probably asked Miles
1:27:37
Garrett about that. He let him.
1:27:39
He put him in the right position and just like, hey, go do your
1:27:41
thing. And he did.
1:27:45
Yeah, Big, I'll talk a little bit more about that because now
1:27:48
we're seeing a lot of defenses go into this, you know, 425,
1:27:51
which is pretty much, pretty much nickel for us, but they're
1:27:55
changing all these defensive front.
1:27:57
I kind of came up on the back end of that mentality error that
1:28:01
you you you guys pioneered with just lining up in ball.
1:28:05
And I think that's a huge learning curve for a lot of
1:28:08
these rookies that's coming in and sometimes the bets as well,
1:28:11
because they never get that coaching where they understand
1:28:14
the technique of being a defensive lineman and the
1:28:16
success that they can have with having a technique versus coming
1:28:20
up with all these different schemes and trying to get, you
1:28:22
know, one-on-one matches. So talk a little bit about like,
1:28:25
you know, that transit, that mindset, that technique and
1:28:28
different things that goes into, you know, being a dominant
1:28:31
defensive player. Well, well, that was like, I
1:28:34
mean, honestly, that was like Jim Schwartz, you know, before
1:28:37
he started because we would put in, you know, on Thursday, we'll
1:28:40
put in his blitz package. I mean, it's all these blitzes,
1:28:43
new blitzes for this team. And you know, you drawing all
1:28:46
these squiggly lines going here and there and we're like, you
1:28:50
know, we'll be tricking out the tricking the team.
1:28:52
And then he even like realized he, he told me he was just like,
1:28:57
hell, I just just made it more simple, just like, forget about
1:29:01
all that stuff. Hey, you guys control the front,
1:29:04
you know, like, and, and then like you had a great course
1:29:07
relationship with Keith Bullock, which, you know, still one of my
1:29:10
best friends today. And he was just like, whatever
1:29:15
gap you go in, just stay in that gap.
1:29:18
Even if you're in the wrong gap, you stay in that gap and I'll
1:29:21
cover the, I'll cover your backside, you know, and I'm just
1:29:24
like, all right. And then sometimes it'll be
1:29:27
like, I don't even know what gap he went in.
1:29:29
He just crushed the whole thing down.
1:29:31
I just, I just, you know, I just try to fill in or, or something
1:29:35
like that. Because he was just like, man,
1:29:37
I, I went from like 150 a 170 tackles, you know, a year down
1:29:43
to like 100. And he's, I mean, he's a big
1:29:45
film guy. What, what in the world am I
1:29:48
doing? Like, how's my production going
1:29:50
down? And he started watching us up
1:29:51
front. And so he, you know, of course
1:29:54
helped with that too, just like, Hey, let us eat.
1:29:57
And you know, ain't nobody holding up no guard or tackle
1:30:00
for nobody. Like we're all we're all just
1:30:03
going. And because Schwartz used to be
1:30:06
that one outsmart the the offense, you know, of the other
1:30:10
team and all this stuff. And then he finally just like
1:30:14
forget all that. So that's when we had our
1:30:15
defensive runs and me and the the top defense, you know, in
1:30:19
the in the NFL is because we just made the game simple.
1:30:23
You look at you look at the days now, like, I mean, all these
1:30:27
guys having to think they got this play off the running back
1:30:30
motions over or this receiver motions over.
1:30:32
You got to do this. And then like in the world, are
1:30:35
you playing supposed to get off the ball?
1:30:38
And you know, and you're thinking like, Oh my God, just
1:30:40
got just motioned this way. So let's change my place to
1:30:42
this. And then like you just take you
1:30:45
take in the like the natural talent out of the game and you
1:30:48
can blow your guy down. I mean, you, you're putting a
1:30:51
you're putting a plow on a racehorse.
1:30:53
You know what I mean? Just let those guys run up
1:30:56
front. And I mean, it would be.
1:30:58
He'll be incredible, right? We are talking to former 10 year
1:31:02
defensive tackle Albert Hainsworth.
1:31:04
He played for the Titans, the Commanders, the Patriots, the
1:31:06
Buccaneers from 2002 to 2011. Albert, the game, like we, we
1:31:12
were saying, it's changed and there have been successful
1:31:16
players at the the defensive tackle position, successful
1:31:19
players at the defensive end position and we've seen the
1:31:22
transition. And I, I, I could say this, Jim
1:31:24
Schwartz is one of the best defensive coordinators in the
1:31:27
NFL. Now I don't know if he's he's
1:31:29
he's a good coach. He had his chance over there
1:31:31
with the Lions. I think he deserves another
1:31:33
chance and to see if he can be successful as a head coach.
1:31:36
I thought he got robbed with the Browns job.
1:31:38
I I think he should have been offered that job or even been
1:31:41
interviewed the right way for that job after what they did
1:31:43
this year with Miles Garrett. I look at the NFL and everybody
1:31:47
looks at the NFL draft and everybody says these guys,
1:31:50
they're the future. If you're, if you're a top ten
1:31:52
pick, you're going to be more than likely there's a
1:31:55
possibility you could be an all pro player.
1:31:56
But we have seen a lot of players come through the New
1:31:59
York Jets. I am a Jet fan.
1:32:01
I've watched The Jets year in and year out draft top 10 picks
1:32:05
and most of them have failed, failed.
1:32:08
And now we got the Giants. The Giants make a trade for
1:32:12
Dexter. They traded Dexter Lawrence, the
1:32:14
I would, I would argue the best nose tackle in the NFL last
1:32:17
year. He wasn't healthy, but he still
1:32:19
played. He still got double teams.
1:32:20
He still was, to me, still an elite player.
1:32:22
Why do you think Brian Burns had the season that he had?
1:32:25
Because of Dexter Lawrence being double teamed and they trade him
1:32:28
for a 10th pick now. Giant fan sitting here and
1:32:31
saying we could get a star at #10A future and we've saved $13
1:32:36
million. But you just lost an All pro
1:32:37
player, a player that was your best player on your defense.
1:32:41
He was the, I guess, the guardian Angel of the New York
1:32:45
Giants defense and you just moved him because Joe Shane
1:32:49
doesn't know what he's doing. He attacked Joe Shane on and off
1:32:52
the field because of what he did with Sequon Barkley and what he
1:32:55
did with Leonard Williams. Both guys leave the organization
1:32:58
and win Super Bowls and became all pro players.
1:33:01
So the Giants are doing something wrong and now they
1:33:03
move their best player of the last five seasons.
1:33:06
You can argue him and Saquon Barkley were by far their best
1:33:09
players for a 10th pick. Now when you look at this move
1:33:13
and you're not a Giant fan, but you're you're a player, you
1:33:15
understand the position and how how he dominated the position
1:33:18
for the last three seasons, except last year because of his
1:33:21
injury. Would you have made this trade,
1:33:24
yes or no? So this is this is coming into,
1:33:28
I mean, this is a a different thing and this is what what fans
1:33:31
got to realize. Like this is a business, right?
1:33:34
I mean, this is a business at the end of the day, it's a
1:33:37
business decision. So for them, it sounds like
1:33:40
they're more in a rebuild kind of stage.
1:33:43
So they got a they got a, they got a, a great tackle.
1:33:47
But do you want to have that great tackle, go through all
1:33:51
this rebuilding and kind of get used up?
1:33:54
Or can you, you know, trade him and get a template in the first
1:33:58
round pick and then like be able to have young guys that's going
1:34:03
to fit in. I mean Start learning and
1:34:05
fitting in and like, you know, be able to hopefully be able to
1:34:08
contribute down the road and be maybe that, you know, that solid
1:34:13
like giants guy, you know, that can make the ring and stuff like
1:34:16
that. You know what I mean?
1:34:17
Like, but if they're not, they're not what they're saying
1:34:19
is basically they're not contenders right now.
1:34:22
So they're kind of in a rebuild phase.
1:34:23
And so let's bring in a bunch of young guys and grow the team.
1:34:26
I mean, that's that's their idea.
1:34:28
Now. If you look at you look at
1:34:30
teams, let's see you like who's who's like the Eagles, You know,
1:34:37
they would take probably a guy like that or you take, I mean
1:34:41
teams that's on the cusp like 49 years, you know, you know,
1:34:45
you're going to you're going to like make trades like that
1:34:47
because it's time for you to win now.
1:34:49
You know, and and that's, I mean, that's kind of their
1:34:52
mindset, like, hey, this is what I'm going to give up.
1:34:54
I'm going to give up a first round because a young guy on the
1:34:57
10th pick that's going to be probably not as likely.
1:35:02
I mean, yes, he's going to start, but is he going to be a
1:35:04
gangbuster? Is he going to be like rookie of
1:35:08
the year? Probably not.
1:35:09
Like the odds are completely against you.
1:35:11
So I'd rather give me a established veteran that could
1:35:15
dominate immediately and and bring them on my team.
1:35:19
I mean, it's a gamble, but I'm trying to win now, you know,
1:35:22
instead of being like, rebuilding.
1:35:25
I know I I will say this. If you listen to John Harbaugh
1:35:28
in his speech when he was there, when he was introduced as the
1:35:31
New York Giants head coach, he pretty much went up there and
1:35:35
said we're not rebuilding. We plan to win.
1:35:37
That's what we're we're there, we're we're planning to win this
1:35:41
year. We're going to go out there, we
1:35:43
got a quarterback, we got this, we got that.
1:35:45
He brings in three offensive coordinators, which makes no
1:35:48
sense. One that's going to run the wide
1:35:49
receivers, one that's going to ride run the the running backs
1:35:52
and the other one that's going to be calling some of the plays,
1:35:55
but they're going to run it through one guy to the other,
1:35:57
which makes no sense. It's very jet.
1:35:58
Lag one guy that was just fired as your team's head coach.
1:36:00
It makes no sense. None of it makes sense at all.
1:36:03
How he is going to structure this offense.
1:36:06
But you know what? We we, we have this player, this
1:36:09
kind of player right here who can still provide for us that
1:36:13
talented defense that they were one of the best defenses in the
1:36:16
league last year. They were, they were an elite
1:36:19
defense and he wasn't even 100% healthy.
1:36:22
Now with this, they could be a playoff team this year.
1:36:24
The, the NFC is interesting, but they're in a division.
1:36:28
We don't know what Washington's going to be.
1:36:30
We don't we don't know what the Cowboys are going to be.
1:36:32
We never know. And then Philadelphia, A.J.
1:36:34
Brown could be a Patriot and this team could be different.
1:36:38
I mean, personality wise, Saquon wasn't the same player he was
1:36:40
the year before because they didn't run the ball.
1:36:43
They still have the idiot coach there.
1:36:44
I, I root on the Eagles. So I, I, I'm, they're my other
1:36:47
team. So I, I know all about it.
1:36:50
The nonsense that goes on in that locker room, I mean, the
1:36:54
Giants could make the playoffs and they had a chance to do that
1:36:57
with an elite play like that. I agree with you.
1:37:00
You get what you can for them and it's a 10th pick.
1:37:03
But those picks don't mean nothing.
1:37:05
You said it yourself. They could do all those things
1:37:07
at the combine. They look great.
1:37:08
They interview, right? But when you step on an NFL
1:37:11
football field, it's different. It's faster, it's better.
1:37:16
I I mean, it's it's more motion. I mean, there's a lot of things
1:37:19
that you don't see in college that you see in the NFL.
1:37:22
No, I mean 100% right. It's it's a bunch of like what
1:37:26
ifs, what ifs, you know, I mean like what coach?
1:37:29
But you got to say like what coach is going to come in and
1:37:31
say, Oh yeah, we're rebuilding, you know, no, you're right.
1:37:36
No coaches. Aaron Glenn.
1:37:38
Aaron Glenn said it. But that's the first time, Yeah,
1:37:42
first time. Just got to the what he's at,
1:37:45
he's at The Jets. I mean like Held, thank you.
1:37:48
Thank you for rebuilding since the Joe Namer and also.
1:37:52
Thank you, Albert. Yeah.
1:37:53
Thank you so very much. Don't worry at car to Q, they're
1:37:55
gonna make the playoffs this year.
1:37:57
Yeah, they're going this year. They'll make it this year, yeah.
1:38:00
Who is that? The Jets, Yeah.
1:38:01
Yeah, I believe in. The Easter Bunny I.
1:38:03
Believe in the Easter Bunny. I've seen it.
1:38:04
I've seen in the wild card Jets team that never ever seen
1:38:07
before. I could tell you that.
1:38:09
Yeah, like he's he's definitely the right guy.
1:38:12
I mean, he just got to have a make sure he has a great
1:38:14
offensive mind behind him, you know, to to help push that
1:38:18
offense. Which has been the struggle for
1:38:20
The Jets for the last at least 5 to 10 years.
1:38:22
Like just no offensive mindset at all.
1:38:26
Strictly defense. So you just you win
1:38:29
championships or games on defense, but you got to put some
1:38:31
force on the board. I mean, the best day the defense
1:38:33
is going to break if you keep doing 3 and 9, three and 93 and
1:38:37
out. I mean, we are you could be
1:38:38
good, but you're not robots. Q Yeah, Q did.
1:38:41
You did you see who they brought in as their offensive
1:38:44
coordinator? Are you going to tell me, OK,
1:38:46
all right, because I, I don't even know who he is.
1:38:48
All right, I, I, they brought in a no name offensive coordinator,
1:38:52
a guy that really is not one of those elite guys that's going to
1:38:56
help you is going to run your offense and you're going to
1:38:58
believe, hey, you take care of the offense and I'll take care
1:39:00
of the defense and we can win. There is nothing that tells me
1:39:03
right now with the New York Jets and we have Geno Smith, all
1:39:06
right, and I'm not saying Geno is not good and put in the right
1:39:10
position. Geno could be good.
1:39:13
He's not. By the way, I love Aaron Glenn.
1:39:16
He's one of my favorite players growing up.
1:39:18
But here's my take on it. Aaron Glenn had the nerve over
1:39:23
the last couple of weeks to go out there and say that Geno
1:39:25
Smith is going to take us to the promised land.
1:39:27
I I'm sorry, I almost, I almost regurgitated when he said that.
1:39:33
Regurgitated. This is the guy we drafted in
1:39:36
the second round. The Jets parted ways with him
1:39:38
because he got knocked out by his linebacker because he didn't
1:39:41
pay him for a bet or a card game.
1:39:44
I made no sense. And this is what we're going to
1:39:47
bring back to our quarterback. Period.
1:39:49
It was an appearance. See, we're not going to spread
1:39:52
in there. I'm.
1:39:53
Sorry. I'm sorry one of his camps and
1:39:55
I'm sorry had nothing to do with the card game had nothing to do
1:39:58
with that next she know didn't pull up to one of his events he.
1:40:01
Paid all the expenses, OK. And then Gino didn't want to pay
1:40:05
the money back after not showing.
1:40:07
So that's how they got into it. No, how wonderful.
1:40:10
And then he gets knocked down, he gets a broken jaw.
1:40:12
And then we see the end of Geno Smith's whole career with the
1:40:14
New York Jets and he goes to the Giants, He takes Eli Manning's
1:40:18
position, doesn't work. Ben McAdoo sayonara.
1:40:21
And then he goes for, he jumps from one team to another and.
1:40:25
Finally, how to place the? Yes, yes, in his Seattle career
1:40:29
over there with Pete Carroll was pretty good.
1:40:30
He. Was pretty good, pretty good
1:40:33
off. Pete Carroll is not an offensive
1:40:35
mind. That's.
1:40:38
What I'm saying better than what he had?
1:40:40
Yeah. Who?
1:40:41
Who? Is the offense.
1:40:42
He had. Who did he have before?
1:40:44
Who was the offensive? Could be there please?
1:40:46
I don't remember 20. 2 exactly you have to remember.
1:40:49
You got to remember you don't got to hit the home run all the
1:40:51
time. What are you talking going to
1:40:54
the top? 23 and 24.
1:40:56
In between, that's like you figure it.
1:40:58
Out 23 and 24, they had the Alabama, they had Ryan Grove,
1:41:01
who the Alabama offensive coordinator this year that all
1:41:04
the Alabama fans wanted to give, wanted to be fired.
1:41:07
What do you want me to do? You really want me to throw up
1:41:09
here? Shane Waldron Yes, that's who it
1:41:10
was. This is this is I, I've done
1:41:12
enough. You heard my movie take.
1:41:14
You heard what I did yesterday in the movie theater.
1:41:16
I'm going to listen to this garbage and say that I'm, I'm,
1:41:19
I'm going to believe what this, this garbage that's coming back.
1:41:21
About the permanent over over 7, but I think I didn't get in a
1:41:25
while all right. All right, but you got you got
1:41:26
to think what you got to think though, Like what team?
1:41:28
I mean, there's not many teams that say, oh, we're just out
1:41:32
here. Everybody's like, hey, you got
1:41:34
that, You know, expectation, make it to the Super Bowl.
1:41:37
Hell, I had that expectation for 10 years, You know what I mean?
1:41:40
Like every year. But like, yeah.
1:41:42
To go yeah, every. Year that's to go.
1:41:44
That's the main 1. You know, it's easier for some
1:41:47
people than it is others, for sure.
1:41:49
Yeah. Did you think that when you went
1:41:51
over there to the Washington Commanders, because I listen, I,
1:41:54
I never thought I, I thought you were one of the best players in
1:41:57
the league when you went over there and signed your, your nice
1:42:00
big contract. Love the boat you bought too, by
1:42:02
the way. Loved it.
1:42:03
I loved everybody. I had that before.
1:42:06
Whatever I. Loved that boat.
1:42:09
I absolutely love that boat. When you were sailing away in
1:42:11
that speedboat, I I would have sailed my way.
1:42:13
I would have sailed away from that commander team As soon as I
1:42:16
got I, I went over there, but. My thing is just the lies for me
1:42:20
though, that's, that's, that's the one thing like I, I thought
1:42:23
we had AI thought we had a, a better offense, you know,
1:42:29
because we didn't, we didn't score many points for the
1:42:31
Titans, you know, I mean, we had like our whole thing, my, my 7th
1:42:36
year with the Titans and we had a phenomenal defense, you know,
1:42:40
rank, I think that was #1 defense and then and all that.
1:42:43
But like our whole offense was like Chris Johnson, CJ2K before
1:42:48
he came 2K and then when he went down with an ankle injury, like
1:42:52
how you lose a playoff game, like 13 to 10.
1:42:56
I mean, it was always a lot on our, on our backs defense.
1:42:59
Like you got to score. We got to score 1.
1:43:02
Like, you know, to put us in because you know, we're not
1:43:06
going to score a lot of points. Yeah, spound on the spound on
1:43:10
the lies a little bit, man, because I think a lot of times
1:43:13
people don't really understand some of the details that goes on
1:43:16
behind the scenes. So kind of getting the, the, the
1:43:19
guys here and, and the people that are listening an
1:43:22
opportunity to understand that the business side and, and, and
1:43:25
the yeah, that goes on behind the scenes.
1:43:28
Yeah, the business side. I mean, like I was literally on
1:43:30
the phone with the owner, you know, and the president and the
1:43:37
head coach and they're like, hey, we're going to run the
1:43:40
exact defense that you run with Tennessee.
1:43:44
We think we got maybe some better players, you know, blah,
1:43:48
blah, blah. Like they just like, I mean, I,
1:43:51
I love the players at Tennessee, Tennessee, but they're like, we
1:43:54
got some better players and we got a better offense.
1:43:57
Like, you know, paper, you would think they're like, you know,
1:44:02
pretty good going to be awesome. But then like the structure and
1:44:06
everything. I mean, like they literally
1:44:08
said, you don't run the same defense, you know, and they're
1:44:11
like, all right, like awesome, that's what we're going to do.
1:44:14
And 1st day, like I get there for OTAs, we're doing all this
1:44:19
different stuff, like all the stuff I was just telling you
1:44:21
about as far as like the shift in the running back run across
1:44:24
shift, shift this changes to play this dude and this guy like
1:44:29
going, I mean, we're going the whole time.
1:44:30
Like back and forth all this like, Oh yeah.
1:44:32
Like coordinator was like, yeah, that's good.
1:44:35
And I'm like, OK, so then I want to go like beat the coordinator
1:44:40
in his office. It's like, hey, they said we're
1:44:41
going to do, you know, Tennessee defense.
1:44:43
We don't do any of that. We don't shift Once the front is
1:44:46
set, it's set. And he was like, no, we ain't
1:44:50
doing none of that. This is my defense.
1:44:52
I run it over here. I'm like, you know, I'm like
1:44:56
this like how what right, man, That was something the most
1:45:01
disjointed, just craziest place. And I mean, I ain't a lot like I
1:45:06
might act out a little bit because I was, I couldn't, I
1:45:10
didn't understand that, you know, I almost thought like
1:45:12
every team was running the same because, you know, I was 20 when
1:45:15
I got the, you know, to the Titans.
1:45:18
Right. And I grew up in that system.
1:45:20
So I'm seeing that for seven years and like, oh, yeah, I
1:45:22
think. And almost every NFL team was
1:45:24
saying, but not even close. It was night and day.
1:45:28
And I was just like, you got to be kidding.
1:45:30
Like, I, I mean, I hated football.
1:45:32
I started really hating because I couldn't do anything like
1:45:37
that. I used to do like, like I'm just
1:45:40
here as like a, a ploy, like a, you know, hey, sign tickets and
1:45:46
jerseys and stuff like that. I mean, it was, yeah.
1:45:49
It wasn't about football. I mean, and I had like some
1:45:52
clown. So it's literally some clown
1:45:55
teammates like like the guys are there were jokes.
1:45:59
I mean, you were literally like, have you ever heard of let me
1:46:02
tell you, you ever heard you ever heard like guys talking
1:46:05
about their table they're going to have coming out of the tunnel
1:46:10
coming out of the tunnel to play what or yeah, talk.
1:46:14
Hey, man, I got AI got AVIP table here at this club.
1:46:17
We are we in the tunnel got. To go out, about to come out.
1:46:24
What like you know, man, I couldn't believe it.
1:46:28
They taking shots before the game.
1:46:31
I'm like yo, like wow, and there's some guys like I really
1:46:36
enjoy like them, but like we had a lot of stars is like terrible.
1:46:40
It was unbelievable. I don't really give a damn and I
1:46:43
heard them talking sometimes, but like to my I was a bad
1:46:45
teammate. I just didn't want to be a part
1:46:47
of like taking shots and that like I'm not I would have never
1:46:51
flew in Tennessee. You know what I mean?
1:46:53
Like even when we were. Sucked.
1:46:55
Like. 4 like. 4/12, 5:00 and 11:00.
1:46:58
That shit was still not, excuse me, French would still not fly,
1:47:02
you know, boys in Tennessee. So it was it was just a wild
1:47:05
thing to see, you know, I mean, I'll just like, wow.
1:47:11
Yeah. This is really just here to
1:47:13
collect a check like. Basically, that's the mindset,
1:47:16
right? Like that's the mindset where it
1:47:17
shifts and go from like playing football to like collecting the
1:47:20
check because there's no organization, it's
1:47:22
dysfunctional. Right, Like how do you, how do
1:47:25
you go so dysfunctional? Like I've, I've just never seen
1:47:29
anything like that. Then I go to the Patriots and
1:47:33
you're telling us boom, like you're going to the top of the
1:47:35
lead. You know, I mean, you come out
1:47:37
to the best of the best. You know, like with Bill
1:47:40
Belichick, I think is literally the greatest NFL coach of all
1:47:45
time. So I'm sorry, I just, I just
1:47:47
believe that. And we had the greatest.
1:47:49
He also was blessed to have the greatest quarterback of all
1:47:53
time. And and, you know, like, now you
1:47:55
want to take one from the other, you know what I mean?
1:47:57
Like, no, But like, just to see that, like, if Bill Belichick,
1:48:01
when I went to the Patriots one, if Bill Belichick could clone
1:48:04
himself from every position coach, he would win like a
1:48:11
number more Super Bowls, 50 championships.
1:48:14
Yeah. Like, he just the guy my 10th
1:48:17
year. I'm learning like new stuff that
1:48:20
I've never learned. This guy broke down everything
1:48:25
like his only week is. And I'm not even trying to say
1:48:27
like these guys are weak, but it's just because he had
1:48:30
assistant coaches, but he could literally come into your room
1:48:33
and coach you with confidence that no new stuff.
1:48:38
I mean, I was I was blown away. I was blown away with that.
1:48:42
But like at that time I was like, man, my body was killing
1:48:44
me, man. Come find like my kidneys were
1:48:47
failing. That's why it took me so long to
1:48:49
like get like healthy. And also I was just like, that's
1:48:54
why after that year I was like, I'm done.
1:48:56
Like I feel like crap. Like literally take me almost to
1:49:01
Saturday to feel almost normal, then you have to go back.
1:49:04
And go back out there on Sunday. Yeah, Yeah, it was.
1:49:07
It was crazy. And I didn't know that was my
1:49:09
kidneys failing. Yeah.
1:49:12
So you got diagnosed with that on that 10th year?
1:49:15
Well I mean not not really, but this one until like 2 years, two
1:49:19
years later when I had those, I had three brain aneurysms.
1:49:23
I found out my kidneys are less than 50%.
1:49:26
So he's operating on a less than 50% kidney.
1:49:29
Yeah, yeah, Playing. Yeah.
1:49:31
It's crazy. Yeah.
1:49:33
So that's why. That's why I was like, man, I
1:49:34
was like, this is what it feels like to get old.
1:49:37
I'm like, I'm 30. Yeah, I'm 30 years old.
1:49:40
I'm like. Hey, dude, I'm, I'm 40.
1:49:43
I'm in, I'm in my 40s and I just I had I had C diff, which I
1:49:48
don't know how I had C diff. When you think about that, a
1:49:50
bacteria, you get that in a hospital.
1:49:52
I got that. Then I have kidney stones.
1:49:54
I'm in the hospital screaming. I'm telling the nurse, you
1:49:56
better give me more morphine. I'm going to rip your freaking
1:49:58
head off. And then right after that I'm, I
1:50:01
have diverticulitis and I'm like, oh, this stuff, I'm like,
1:50:05
I'm falling apart. I, I'm in my 40s.
1:50:08
I'm in the best shape. I've always been in good shape,
1:50:10
but I'm in one of the best shapes of my life and I'm, I'm
1:50:13
breaking down. I'm like, Oh my God, this my
1:50:15
girlfriend's like, oh, I got you when you're, you're in your 40s.
1:50:18
She's telling me she's like, come on, let's go, let's go get
1:50:21
up. Get.
1:50:21
Up. Get up So.
1:50:22
It's I mean, after, after my kidney transplant, man, I felt I
1:50:26
felt brand new like wow, this is what it feels like to be normal.
1:50:30
I'm like 40s is great. I mean, I felt like I felt
1:50:34
better after the kidney transplant than I did my last
1:50:38
year of football. I felt way better.
1:50:41
Like I'm like, let me see if I can still might go out there and
1:50:45
do. Something give it a 10 day
1:50:50
catcher. Just just a, just a, just a pass
1:50:53
rush down. 1/3 down. And it was, yeah, it was.
1:50:58
It was something else, though, Man, I, I tell you, I was, I was
1:51:01
blown away at how different I felt.
1:51:04
So yeah, all. Right.
1:51:05
I want to shift gears a little bit.
1:51:07
Both your teams with the Titans and the Commanders both drafting
1:51:10
in the top ten. What do you think the draft
1:51:11
strategy should be for those teams and what do you think will
1:51:13
end up happening? Tennessee, we've heard a lot of
1:51:16
Jeremiah Love rumors. Washington We've heard a lot
1:51:17
with styles and downs, like what direction do you think they'll
1:51:20
go in and what should they do? Yeah, your coach is Bambi Solid,
1:51:23
so I don't know how, how healthy or how great that's going to be
1:51:25
over there with your organization so.
1:51:27
I, you know, like he would have been my like second or third
1:51:31
pick as as head coach. My first pick would have been
1:51:35
McDaniels. Be honest, I thought he would
1:51:37
have been the great, great coach, young coach, you know,
1:51:41
had two, you know, I didn't have a healthy tour, but when he had
1:51:44
a healthy tour, he did it. I think he could have do the
1:51:46
same thing with Cam Ward honestly.
1:51:48
Bought. You wouldn't have bought Bill
1:51:49
now at Carolina. Bill Belichick?
1:51:52
Yeah, you wouldn't have bought him.
1:51:53
You only had a $2,000,000? Dude, he's got a 24 year old
1:51:56
girlfriend. Do you think he wants to?
1:51:58
I mean, he's working it out over there, man.
1:52:00
He's working it out. For the Titans, you got you got
1:52:02
to look because you haven't had a stable coach since Jeff
1:52:05
Fisher, you know, So I want to get somebody I think grow old,
1:52:10
so I think. Yeah.
1:52:11
Yeah, like, you know, McDaniel would have been.
1:52:14
My favorite coach, My favorite coach in the NFL.
1:52:16
He's my favorite. Who?
1:52:17
Mike. Mike McDaniels is my favorite.
1:52:20
Yeah, like he would have been, he would have been my guy
1:52:23
because he can, you know, he could be the coach, you know,
1:52:25
potentially be the coach for 20 years, you know what I mean?
1:52:28
Like, so that's, that's what I was kind of thinking.
1:52:31
But Sales is a is a good defensive mind coach made some
1:52:36
moves. I don't really like, I don't
1:52:37
like trading my boy away. But you know, it is what it is.
1:52:45
But I don't know, man, to me, they're rebuilding and I would,
1:52:51
I don't think we've been good on the offensive line in a long
1:52:53
time. I would have, I would have
1:52:56
probably traded down like I would have traded the guy they
1:52:59
picked for seven a few years ago.
1:53:02
The tackle I think was it from Alabama, the right tackle, I
1:53:06
would have traded down and got him at like 17.
1:53:08
Then you got another like second round pick and then kind of
1:53:11
build up your offensive line with young guys.
1:53:14
I mean, that's just kind of what I would have did.
1:53:15
So what they got the 4th pick now?
1:53:17
So yeah, I mean, I would love like, what do you what do you
1:53:22
need? You wanted like a running back.
1:53:23
I mean, I thought we just we just had a running back.
1:53:25
You know what I mean? Right.
1:53:27
Like that's not what I would spend the 4th pick on as a
1:53:29
running back. I mean, I'm sorry you let
1:53:32
Derrick Henry go. You know what I'm like.
1:53:34
So you're going to go spend another pick on a running back?
1:53:38
No, I trade it. I traded probably for like a mid
1:53:41
round. Give me some offense alignment
1:53:44
and then like, you know, some extra picks or something like
1:53:46
that. That's what I want to do.
1:53:48
We are talking to former 10 year defensive tackle Albert
1:53:50
Haynesworth. Played for the Titans, the
1:53:52
Commanders, the Patriots, the Buccaneers.
1:53:54
He had a long career, made himself a lot of money.
1:53:56
Very happy man. He has a new kidney, so he's
1:53:59
had, he has a new life. Everything is good.
1:54:02
A Cam Ward is a guy that I absolutely love.
1:54:05
I was at his Heisman Trophy dinner.
1:54:08
I I got a chance to interview him.
1:54:10
I have, I was on his Cam Ward documentary on Toby.
1:54:14
So you got a chance. I was one of the guys that was
1:54:16
really up and personal with the guy.
1:54:18
I'm not too, I'm not too fond of his cousin, but that's a whole
1:54:22
nother thing. That's all he's been on the
1:54:23
show. We went back and forth and go
1:54:26
ahead Speedy. You can tell him.
1:54:27
Quinton Jammer. Quinton Jammer it was It was a
1:54:29
hell of a night. He.
1:54:30
Quitting, you know, we didn't see eye to eye on some things,
1:54:33
but I laid it on him and then he didn't like the laying on him
1:54:36
the way I did. But hey, it is, is what it is.
1:54:38
But Kim, I love him. I love everything about him.
1:54:40
I think the kid is going to be a star in this league.
1:54:43
And he had if they brought in Dabel, I think he's a great
1:54:46
offensive coordinator. He's not a great coach.
1:54:48
Some guys are good defensive coordinators, not great coaches
1:54:51
are good offensive coordinators and not great coaches.
1:54:53
McDaniel over there with the Patriots, he he's always a good
1:54:58
offensive coordinator. He just can't buy a buy a win
1:55:01
everywhere he's gone and he's decided to go to organizations
1:55:04
that have failed. I look at this team.
1:55:06
I don't like Robert Soller, but I I like tables and offensive
1:55:09
coordinator. I think he'll develop Cam Ward.
1:55:11
I think they need to add weapons for him.
1:55:13
I think they need to give him weapons and Jeremiah Love to me
1:55:17
is the best offensive weapon in this in this draft.
1:55:21
I don't think there's an argument the guy can catch the
1:55:23
ball. He is the closest thing to
1:55:24
Saquon Barkley. And yes, we've seen Derrick
1:55:27
Henry, but Derrick Henry was starting to age and he's been he
1:55:31
he no, I know, I know what you're going to say, But as far
1:55:34
as as a running back, he was when he was when he was like go,
1:55:38
he was like 29 going to be 30, you know, So you look at that,
1:55:41
that's like, we don't know if he's going to really last, but
1:55:45
he's he's he's really become and he's really performed at a high
1:55:48
level still. He goes to Baltimore, he's
1:55:50
dominant. So you're right where but Jimmy?
1:55:54
Said again. Yeah.
1:55:55
Yeah, Jeremiah, Love that kid is I was at his, I was at his
1:56:01
Heisman Trophy. I love that kid.
1:56:04
I love everything about and the media was trying to get him to
1:56:06
throw himself out there about the Nortre Dame thing.
1:56:09
He would not buy into it and he wouldn't bite into it.
1:56:11
Even though everybody thinks that they got screwed, Nortre
1:56:14
Dame got screwed. I think he would be a great,
1:56:17
great positional player to go over there to Tennessee and be
1:56:20
so very explosive for you guys. I really think he is a slam dunk
1:56:25
pick. He could change your offense.
1:56:27
This guy will change your offense.
1:56:29
One guy will change your offense next year.
1:56:31
That's how good he is. Well, you gotta have offensive
1:56:34
line saying like the same thing. Like I I like Ken Ward like
1:56:42
thingy is a great quarterback. I wouldn't have drafted Ken Ward
1:56:46
one. Titans don't have a great track
1:56:49
record of drafting quarterbacks as you can see.
1:56:52
That means what? Since like literally Steve
1:56:54
McNair man in the mirror like VY Vince Young was good, but that
1:57:00
was Bud's pick, not Jeff's pick. And then they pretty much showed
1:57:04
it. That's how all his whole career
1:57:06
went at Tennessee. So I would have traded I mean I
1:57:10
would have never gave up a will Levis.
1:57:13
The guy was trying to do whatever he could do hard
1:57:15
worker. I felt like he was a young
1:57:17
gunslinger, kind of like Brett Favre, but didn't have offense
1:57:21
line. It was getting killed.
1:57:22
I still try with him put an off into line.
1:57:25
I would have traded that. I would have definitely traded
1:57:26
that number one pick and freaking got probably another
1:57:30
first round pick this draft and the next draft.
1:57:33
So I would have you know, I mean in that draft, in the next
1:57:36
draft. So now you got two first round
1:57:39
draft choice and you can you need to pick up and build your
1:57:42
team. I mean, that's just what I would
1:57:44
have did like because I didn't think we were going to develop
1:57:47
and like, I think Cam had an extremely hard rookie year that
1:57:51
he didn't deserve. Probably could have taken off a
1:57:53
couple years or a couple seasons off his, you know, football
1:57:56
life. So I mean, we don't have a thing
1:57:59
about protecting a quarterback. You know, you want to plug and
1:58:02
play, you want to put, you want to put the guy when he, you
1:58:05
know, have success, not out there just getting like Molly
1:58:09
Wop like he was. I like that, I like that Molly
1:58:11
wop. I like that mom.
1:58:12
I'm going to use this Molly wop, Molly wop.
1:58:15
I like Molly. You want to get hot, you get a
1:58:17
Molly or you want to get Molly wop.
1:58:19
Happy 420. Happy 420.
1:58:21
Hey Albert, I got a question for you.
1:58:23
You're a big dude. Okay, I don't know what you're a
1:58:27
66300 and 35 LB defensive lineman.
1:58:30
What? Kind of. 6-7 I'm sorry.
1:58:33
I, I, I took an inch off of you. I, I'm, you're starting to sound
1:58:37
like Quentin. Oh, wait a second.
1:58:40
I, I was listen, when I wait a second, when I tell you I'm 510
1:58:43
and a quarter, you laugh at it. Oh, you have to add the quarter.
1:58:47
You have to add the quarter. But when I say 66 and he says 6.
1:58:51
Quarter and it which is what the.
1:58:52
Compare is stop it you. You really are a pain in the
1:58:55
ass. You really, really are a pain in
1:58:58
my ass. I never.
1:59:00
Get around. Shoes I got, I got a short buddy
1:59:02
too give you some of those shoes that like add like two or three
1:59:05
inches. You know, like.
1:59:08
Sneakers I. Shoot you this address.
1:59:10
Yeah, We'll send you this address.
1:59:11
Yeah. Shut up, quit.
1:59:14
Shut up. You I No, But what?
1:59:15
What kind of diet? I mean, as a professional
1:59:18
football players, an elite player, what was your diet?
1:59:20
What, what was your favorite hot dog?
1:59:22
You have a hot dog you like? How many hamburgers could eat
1:59:25
eat at once I. Mean mostly mine was just like
1:59:28
I, I, I probably ate like 3 or 4 like rib eyes a week, you know,
1:59:36
like steak. Steak was like my, my thing, you
1:59:39
know, some, some I like lobsters too.
1:59:43
But like, yeah, like, so if I didn't eat a steak or some type
1:59:47
of beef, then I'm going to do, I'll do like seafood or or
1:59:52
something like that. But I've never had to, I never
1:59:54
had to maintain, you know, like my weight or have to watch it
1:59:57
because it was pretty, you know, like I was, my metabolism was so
2:00:02
high, you know, it was fine. So eating, you know, going to,
2:00:07
you know, say Ruth Chris, and eating like the sweet potato
2:00:12
casserole and the big rib eye, you know, roof Chris.
2:00:17
Yeah, like that. That's sweet potato casserole.
2:00:24
Yeah. I mean, I haven't had it in
2:00:25
years. Like no I.
2:00:27
Haven't I just had it like four or five days ago?
2:00:30
Brag about it. It's still good.
2:00:33
It's still here. Yeah, it's sure.
2:00:35
I know, I know. I just haven't had in a while.
2:00:37
Like I don't eat a lot of steak anymore.
2:00:39
Like now if I'm eating like a like a, a meat, a brown meat or
2:00:44
whatever, it's going to be like paws.
2:00:46
It's going to be like lamb chops, like I love.
2:00:52
I love lamb chops. Yeah, one of my favorite,
2:00:54
favorite things. So, yeah, I mean, that's kind of
2:00:57
like the the heavy protein that I'll that I'll eat now, you
2:01:02
know, and it's like chicken and fish still like that.
2:01:05
Right. You know, you are a wonderful
2:01:08
guy, man. You're a big you're a juicy of a
2:01:11
man and you've done there it is. Oh, thank you.
2:01:15
This this this ridiculous picture, man.
2:01:17
What is wrong? I do not wear shoes that make
2:01:20
me, you know, and by the way, what is this?
2:01:23
I do not. Wear jeans like that.
2:01:25
I do not wear. Jeans like that either.
2:01:27
What is that? No, no, no.
2:01:29
They're regular, like sneakers. I'm not a drag queen, all right?
2:01:33
They're just, they're like regular sneakers.
2:01:35
They're not healed. They look, they look just like
2:01:37
regular sneakers and like. Add a couple.
2:01:40
Yeah, they add you like 3 inches on there, OK.
2:01:44
That doesn't happen. I don't need that.
2:01:45
I'm 5/10 and 1/4. I I'm good.
2:01:48
An average male here in in the United States is 5/8, so I'm two
2:01:52

2:03:58
show again. Your teams, everything, all your
2:04:01
football knowledge. And thank God you're away from
2:04:04
the Commanders or an organization that just needs to
2:04:06
figure things out. I I like Dan Quinn.
2:04:08
They're better now. Like I like Dan Quinn.
2:04:09
The way they're looking now. I like Dan.
2:04:11
Quinn, the way they're looking, yeah.
2:04:12
I like Dan, they have reached out too.
2:04:14
I just, I haven't been yet, you know?
2:04:16
You should go with I think Dan Quinn is a great defensive guy
2:04:19
and I think that he he he grows so early in his everything that
2:04:24
he did with Atlanta, he he, he got to a high level with Atlanta
2:04:28
and then fell down and, and, and the same thing is going
2:04:31
Washington first year. He goes all the way to an NFC
2:04:34
title game and they fall, fall down.
2:04:36
I want it Dan Quinn, I root for him.
2:04:38
He coached in Hofstra. He's like a he's like a New
2:04:41
York, New Jersey guy. So I root for the guy.
2:04:44
I want him to succeed. But you know.
2:04:47
Yeah, the fans deserve it. They I'm hoping for it.
2:04:50
I mean, they had trouble with like injuries and things like
2:04:53
that. But I still think that, you
2:04:56
know, Washington commanders are are still a legit team and
2:04:59
hopefully they're healthy this year and and they make some good
2:05:01
picks and you'll see them back in the playoffs.
2:05:04
I mean, the, the, the fans, they absolutely deserve it.
2:05:07
There. They have Jaden Daniels.
2:05:08
I love him. I think he's a great kid and
2:05:10
he's a. Beast, yeah.
2:05:12
I I love, I love his mom. Yeah, she's out of trouble.
2:05:16
I like, I like Lamar Jackson's mom, she's sitting on all those
2:05:19
soup commercials. I, I, I love, I love her too.
2:05:21
And she's like, I, I'm, I'm his agent.
2:05:26
That's it. You'll like it.
2:05:27
I I love, I love when their parents who was it?
2:05:30
Was it Eli Apple? His mom was like, Oh my God, she
2:05:33
was nuts. As soon as she every time she
2:05:36
was in the spotlight more than her son was, She's like, my son
2:05:40
is Eli Apple. Take advantage that opportunity.
2:05:45
It's, it's, it's great. It really is.
2:05:47
I at least I look at you, Albert, you were successful and
2:05:50
you did so well for yourself. I'm happy for you and, and
2:05:53
please, I know your daughter's 510 and maybe she's a
2:05:56
supermodel. Don't don't you know this is not
2:05:58
bad. I mean, 5-10 and a quarter is
2:06:00
pretty good, man. I'm a pretty good size.
2:06:03
Anyways, we love you Al, and we'd love to get you back on the
2:06:06
show. Keep up the good work and we'll
2:06:09
talk to you soon and you know. Maybe first section man al if
2:06:12

2:06:14
during the draft show, we're having a draft show on Thursday.
2:06:18
If you want to come right in and and talk about.
2:06:20
The Tennessee pick? Yeah, for the Tennessee pick.
2:06:22
Come in, come in, hang out. We're.
2:06:23
Actually going to be like in Pittsburgh, boy, oh boy, you
2:06:28
know, Keith Bullock. So having a draft party, OK
2:06:31
there. And he's just.
2:06:32
Been on our show. He's just, yeah.
2:06:34
Tell them all, yeah. Yeah.
2:06:36
So we'll be, we'll be right there at his party.
2:06:37
But yeah, I mean, if I'm not on at his time, yes, hit me up,
2:06:43
yes. I side note, I want to just ask,
2:06:46
I saw on your social media, what were you talking to him about
2:06:48
with that whole Syracuse logo thing?
2:06:52
It just, I mean, we were like, what is the orange man?
2:06:57
What? What is that?
2:06:58
You know what I mean? Like, yeah, like orange man.
2:07:03
That's a Keith Bullock is 1 interesting dude, man, that guy,
2:07:07
to get him to smile, first of all, when he came out, he's been
2:07:10
on a show like 2-3 times and every time he comes, he, he, he
2:07:14
doesn't smile. You have to get him to pull out
2:07:17
that smile. Once he's smiling, he's like, oh
2:07:20
man, dude, you're crazy, you're crazy.
2:07:22
I haven't. He's a, he's a, he's a, he's an
2:07:24
intelligent businessman. And then like, so he's always
2:07:28
going to be straight laced, even like like kind of with people we
2:07:31
don't really know. But then like, you know, I'm
2:07:34
like, oh man, like, I mean, that's, that's my brother, you
2:07:37
know, so like he always, we always laugh when there's
2:07:40
something like that, you know, so that's how he is.
2:07:43
But I mean, a brilliant guy got a bunch of businesses,
2:07:46
restaurants and all kinds of stuff.
2:07:48
So I. Got to be friends with him.
2:07:50
I got to be friends with him. Yeah.
2:07:51
We. Got to hang out.
2:07:53
He's a New Yorker. Though, you know what I'm
2:07:56
saying? Yeah, that's right.
2:07:57
That's right. New York.
2:07:58
Duke, Duke. Duke.
2:07:59
Duke, Duke. That's North Carolina.
2:08:01
But you know. It's I'm just.
2:08:04
OK, there's New York. There it is.
2:08:07
Go New York. Go New York.
2:08:09
Go there. We.
2:08:09
Go. They lose it, by the way.
2:08:11
Well, what else is new anyways? Al, we love you.
2:08:14
Keep up the good work we'll reach.
2:08:16
Out appreciate you bro. Yeah, appreciate you guys.
2:08:19
Enjoy it indeed. Albert Haynsworth, the one and
2:08:23
only former Titan commander, Patriot, Buccaneer, just the
2:08:29
ringleader, ladies and gentlemen, of the Titans defense
2:08:32
at its dominant stage. And like you said, if if they
2:08:36
had a lick of offense, maybe they play in the Super Bowl.
2:08:39
Did he win with the Patriots? No, no, he.
2:08:41
Didn't. Actually, I think I believe he
2:08:43
was there with when Lee Bottom was there on that team that lost
2:08:46
to the Giants, I believe he was part of that.
2:08:49
How wonderful. Yeah, I'm pioneer man, elder
2:08:51
statesman in defensive line world really broke the the wedge
2:08:55
broke us through and getting us paid.
2:08:57
So definitely salute to Big Al. Big Al, the Al man, the Ouster,
2:09:04
the Alderundu. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
2:09:07
we have this NFL Draft preview, so let's get into it.
2:09:12
Let's RIP it. I guess let's RIP it.
2:09:15
All right, let's. Let's do it.
2:09:17
Let's get into this draft preview Part 2.
2:09:20
Where's my stuff? I lost speedy.
2:09:22
Get the music up for this segment, boys.
2:09:27
This. Is techno.
2:09:28
Get that techno speedy. Get that techno going, baby.
2:09:33
So look, Errol, you said it earlier tonight, not expected to
2:09:37
be the deepest draft of all drafts, but it's certainly deep
2:09:40
in elite defensive prospects. So what we did last time, we're
2:09:43
going to do this time. We're going to break down the
2:09:45
top ten. First, the guys that are
2:09:47
expected to go in the top 10 based on the Athletics.
2:09:50
Dane Bruegler's The Beast Guide, probably the best going right
2:09:54
now. He has a list of top 300.
2:09:56
He's got crazy detail. We're just going to focus in on
2:09:59
guys expected to go in the first round and then after top 10, go
2:10:03
by position group. So here's the guys in the top
2:10:05
ten and we'll start with #1 But let me read them all off first.
2:10:09
Number one is Arvel Reese, the Ohio State pass rusher likely
2:10:14
and favored in Vegas right now to go to The Jets at #2.
2:10:18
After that we have Sonny Styles ranked at #4 Caleb Downs to say
2:10:23
Ohio State safety at #5 Mansoor Dillane, the LSU corner, he has
2:10:29
ranked at number six overall, which is a little high compared
2:10:32
to other guys. David Bailey, the Texas Tech
2:10:35
edge rusher, again, him and Reese are just looked at as the
2:10:39
guys are going 1-2 at edge rusher at 7:00 and then at 9.
2:10:44
Ruben Bain, who seems to be slotting as the third guy at
2:10:47
pass rusher at #9 with the guy that might be on your New York
2:10:51
Jets. Arvel Reese, 1 1/2 year starter
2:10:54
at Ohio State. Little surprising only 1 1/2
2:10:56
year to be this high. But Matt Patricia, again, former
2:10:59
Patriot, we were just talking about Patriots a little bit ago.
2:11:01
Patriot defense, very multiple front hybrid linebacker that 3-4
2:11:06
with the two gapping nose inside is kind of that Patriot staple
2:11:09
from back in the day. They've done something some
2:11:11
different stuff over the years, bringing more of that 425 field
2:11:14
to it. Having that hybrid guy on the
2:11:17
outside, this is what they want him for.
2:11:19
They used to use Jamie Collins in a similar way in that defense
2:11:23
and the olden days, this would be like that on steroids. 2.0
2:11:27
Not a lot of production on the field, but you watch him and he
2:11:31
jumps off the tape and had one of the most electric combines in
2:11:34
recent memory. Combines don't mean nothing.
2:11:36
As you heard Albert Hainsworth, everybody keeps saying, oh, look
2:11:39
what Styles did. It's great, Sonny Styles.
2:11:42
But the better player, the best player on that defense was
2:11:45
Alvaro, Alvaro Reese, and that was the best defenses in the
2:11:48
country. Ohio State Buckeyes was the
2:11:50
best. And you look at what he has
2:11:52
done, his height, his size, his ability, everything that he
2:11:56
does, I don't care if he played 1 1/2 years, it doesn't matter.
2:11:59
On tape, you can see how great his hands are, his ability to
2:12:02
spin outside and inside. You could put him as a
2:12:05
linebacker, an outside linebacker.
2:12:07
You could put him as a defensive end.
2:12:09
You can move him around like Michael Parsons reminds me of a
2:12:12
little bit bigger in athletic Von Miller.
2:12:14
We'll have to see how he develops in the league, but this
2:12:17
guy can do everything and he could be dominant.
2:12:20
I love this pick for The Jets. I'm not going to be upset if
2:12:23
they went with Alvaro or they went with somebody else.
2:12:26
I mean, a date, a David Bailey or hey, maybe a bane, but I like
2:12:31
this. This is a good move for The
2:12:32
Jets. He's he's a slam dunk player.
2:12:34
Yeah, this is the best prospect for me.
2:12:36
I think he's versatile in every facet.
2:12:38
Yeah, the position like getting reps at one position versus the
2:12:41
other is something that I think just the coaching off to figure
2:12:43
out. You don't want to pass on an
2:12:45
athlete that has this much well-rounded game and can play
2:12:48
both outside linebacker and edge right on the line and even did
2:12:51
some spies. And that was one of the things
2:12:53
fish. The other thing, the profile was
2:12:55
described, he did a lot of spies on screens too, which is
2:12:58
something that you don't usually see a lot in today's game.
2:13:00
To have an edge rusher to have that kind of skill as well,
2:13:03
which is very important in a quick strike offense.
2:13:07
Yeah, I like him talent wise, gift wise, it won't.
2:13:11
He he isn't my number one, but I do believe that The Jets will
2:13:14
take him number two. Overall, I think he is very
2:13:19
fitting for the 425 defense, which is everybody's going to
2:13:22
these days, excuse me, everybody's going to in the ***
2:13:25
package and whatnot. I think he's explosive.
2:13:28
He meets all the metrics. I would like for him to get a
2:13:30
little bigger, little more size on them and I would like I would
2:13:34
see I I think it's going to take him another year or two to
2:13:37
develop, not just because he's a Ricky, but I just don't think he
2:13:40
has that experience that he would need.
2:13:42
And I and I don't want The Jets to kind of be throwing them
2:13:45
around in different positions. Whatever.
2:13:47
I think he'll be better off with The Jets if he just rushed more
2:13:50
than he dropping the coverage or more than they move them around
2:13:53
on the line. Keep him on the outside.
2:13:54
He got a first quick step is his first step is quit he act If
2:13:59
he's he can, we can really do something with him in in a
2:14:02
productive way, but don't move them all the way around.
2:14:05
Keep them on the outside wide 9 let him run.
2:14:08
Let him have some success. I think, I think they'll pick
2:14:11
him and I I think he'll have a good career, but I think it's
2:14:15
going to take a year or two to develop.
2:14:17
Yeah, I mean, he that's, but for me, like, isn't that what you
2:14:21
want as the top pick? Like he's already this good and
2:14:23
he doesn't have all the moves figured out yet.
2:14:26
Like what's he going to be when he does?
2:14:27
And then they have to have the good coach being so you get our
2:14:30
hope. You know, if you're taking a guy
2:14:32
who's a little raw, you can treat, you can like kind of
2:14:34
coach him up on it, which is why I kind of, I would've always
2:14:37
been like a little bit higher on Bain.
2:14:38
Maybe not the same athlete, but you know, he was coached up by
2:14:41
Jason Taylor. Why don't we talk about why
2:14:43
don't we do that since since we're here, let's get stay with
2:14:46
the edge rushers in this one. We'll go do Bailey and then
2:14:48
Bain. So David Bailey is ranked #7
2:14:51
here. This is the other guy The Jets
2:14:53
are considering. Reportedly he was only a one
2:14:55
year starter at Tech at Texas Tech field side edge rusher,
2:14:59
stand up and hand in the ground. Kind of that 425 scheme.
2:15:03
Again, if The Jets are going to that, that makes sense on a
2:15:05
scheme fit. Led the F, LED all college
2:15:08
football in sacks 14 1/2 and pressure rate 21.3%.
2:15:12
Second in tackles for loss and total pressures to Bain, but
2:15:16
played a lot fewer snaps than Bain did.
2:15:19
I don't know. That means he's a little bit
2:15:20
more efficient, but maybe you like Bain better because then
2:15:23
come off the field to talk about him in a second.
2:15:25
But he is super fast, super violent, maybe a little smaller
2:15:29
than you think, but the way he plays.
2:15:31
But he is just a Wrecking Ball. I like Reese more than Bailey
2:15:34
because there's so much more upside with Reese than Elizabeth
2:15:38
Belly. Belly is a good player.
2:15:40
He's going to be a good NFL player.
2:15:42
But again, there a lot of people look at him and they say he's
2:15:45
more raw than Reese. And that's the questions that
2:15:48
everybody has for him. Could he do this in the NFL at a
2:15:51
high level like he was doing it for Texas Tech?
2:15:54
You look at Ohio State, you look at the Buckeyes, look at who
2:15:56
they were playing this year. They were playing top level
2:15:58
teams, Texas Tech not as good of talented, talented teams.
2:16:02
And and their schedule is not anywhere close to what Ohio
2:16:05
State was playing this year. So I I'm going with Reese
2:16:08
because I think there's more upside, but I love David Bailey.
2:16:11
I think whoever decides to to draft him are going to get a
2:16:14
good player, a player that's going to start on their roster
2:16:17
and if you develop him right, he's going to be an elite player
2:16:19
in this league for many, many years.
2:16:20
Yeah, I'm worried about how raw he is too Fish.
2:16:22
I I was saying there's secondary moves I think is something that
2:16:25
has to improve with him. I thought he I think he's
2:16:27
explosive, but he's not like he he doesn't do well against other
2:16:31
offensive lineman that can move around.
2:16:33
I don't think he has a great swim move or spin move quite
2:16:35
yet. And I worry about that for any
2:16:37
team taking him in the top ten. I consider him more of a mid
2:16:39
first round pick, like he said, a one year starter that I think
2:16:41
still needs to grow a lot more. So this is way too high for him
2:16:44
for me. I like Bailey.
2:16:46
Oh, I think that he he probably would be the better pick for
2:16:49
what The Jets defense is providing.
2:16:52
I'm not so sure about his, you know, technique, but that's
2:16:55
usually how it comes out when they come out in the draft.
2:16:58
They usually a lot of guys don't have that technique because
2:17:01
they're not really coached up well.
2:17:03
But he does have the speed. He does have the size and I
2:17:06
think that they can use him a lot more and depending the 425
2:17:10
defense that they running and whatnot.
2:17:12
But I you know, they can't go wrong.
2:17:14
The metric says Reese, but Bailey is definitely a guy that
2:17:18
I think it can be more of an impact round one year, round
2:17:22
year one year 2 versus every Reese.
2:17:24
I think he's this first year, so it's going to take him some time
2:17:28
to develop. I think you got more bang for
2:17:30
your butt with Bailey. Don't you just think the motor
2:17:32
is incredible though? Like this guy, he just keeps
2:17:34
going. He's one of those guys.
2:17:35
Like the first move, it doesn't work, but he's just going to
2:17:39
keep going and if anything disrupts the pocket, he's going
2:17:41
to clean it up. He's one of those like a master
2:17:43
of the clean up sack, which is why he did so well.
2:17:45
We'll talk about this guy at the end.
2:17:47
Jacob Rodriguez really put those guys in great spots on this
2:17:51
defense. The middle linebacker.
2:17:52
So I I kind of with you guys for me, he's the third of these edge
2:17:56
rushers. Let's talk about the guy though
2:17:57
that is ranked third in these edge rushers.
2:18:00
Let me take this off and bring this right back to the camera.
2:18:03
Here it is. And Errol, I've been talking
2:18:06
about him for a while, I love Ruben Bain.
2:18:08
Miami edge rusher. Obviously had plenty of exposure
2:18:10
getting to the championship game.
2:18:11
Had a sack of Mendoza in the championship game.
2:18:14
Three-year starter lined up at the defensive end, sometimes in
2:18:18
a four point stance, which I freaking love.
2:18:20
I just love dudes like this because he has short arms.
2:18:24
Everyone knows this, but what are you trying to do?
2:18:26
If you're a four point stance guy, you're just getting under
2:18:29
his shoulder pads. You're getting in there so he
2:18:31
can't do nothing. You're you're creating space.
2:18:33
You get under him and then lock it out and control them.
2:18:35
It's a certain way to play. It's different.
2:18:38
You have to know how to do that. Guess what?
2:18:39
He was coached up by Jason Taylor, Hall of Fame pass
2:18:43
rusher, Jets and obviously Dolphins before that where he
2:18:46
was the best again. Led the LED all college and
2:18:50
pressures with 83, most by any player in a single season since
2:18:54
2017. Had the most pass rush snaps
2:18:57
with five, 57106 more the second than the second player on the
2:19:01
list. He doesn't come off the field
2:19:05
ever. Like we talk about guys like TJ
2:19:08
Watt who doesn't used to not come off the field.
2:19:11
The value you have not coming off the field in my opinion is
2:19:15
just unbelievable. He's such a unique body type
2:19:18
though. Teams are going to pass on him.
2:19:21
He had that weird report where there was some car accident
2:19:24
issue in 24/20/24 where he was the driver and and the woman
2:19:29
died and but the woman didn't. Family didn't press charges.
2:19:32
Apparently they were close. It was a horrible tragedy.
2:19:34
I think teams know about it. If he drops, this could be the
2:19:38
steal of the draft. I like Ruben Bay.
2:19:41
I think he's just as good as Reese, just as good as Bailey.
2:19:44
I think he's going to be an impact player in the NFL and
2:19:46
whoever gets him is going to get themselves a good player.
2:19:49
If he falls into the 20s, I expect the Cowboys to scoop him
2:19:52
right up. They lost Michael Parsons.
2:19:54
Could you imagine getting this guy to fill in for Michael
2:19:57
Parsons? This guys a beast of a man.
2:19:59
This guy could come off the edge.
2:20:01
You could put him inside, he's going to push the pocket.
2:20:03
This guy is as great of a player in this draft is anybody ever.
2:20:08
I think Reese is probably the most overall talent that could
2:20:11
turn into a super superstar, but all around.
2:20:15
Gifts that this guy could start off in the NFL.
2:20:18
This is the guy I'm going, this is the guy I'm going to go with.
2:20:21
The guy that is a short thing right off the bat and he's
2:20:25
played at an elite level and you saw what he did in the national
2:20:27
championship game. So I like Ruben Bane and whoever
2:20:31
gets him is getting themselves a really great player.
2:20:33
Yeah, this is a higher parity year in the ACC as well for
2:20:37
football, which kind of was top heavy in recent years, obviously
2:20:40
with Clemson and then recently with FSU going undefeated.
2:20:42
But I think he still faced a good quality competition of
2:20:45
offensive line where I think he still was able to get the power
2:20:48
moves going. He had good secondary moves to
2:20:49
go along with it. Yeah.
2:20:50
Is the arm length a little concerning store?
2:20:52
But again, I think the other traits to go with his game still
2:20:54
justify a guy that's I think a top ten pick.
2:20:57
I don't think he'll be draft the top ten.
2:20:59
Like I said, probably the Cowboys would be most likely
2:21:00
they take him first because they don't care about the alleged off
2:21:03
field issues of Bain. But I think they're going to get
2:21:04
a great. Play I will say this if he falls
2:21:06
to 16 I think The Jets yeah I don't care you can never have
2:21:10
enough pass rushers I'm. Just saying.
2:21:13
I would, I would absolutely do this because when you look at
2:21:18
The Jets, if you look at The Jets organization and what The
2:21:20
Jets have done over the years, they really haven't had a
2:21:23
dominant pass rusher at that edge since John Abraham.
2:21:27
You put Reuben Bain on one side and Reese on the other.
2:21:30
You have Will McDonald. Maybe you move Will McDonald.
2:21:33
A lot of people think he'd be better as an outside linebacker.
2:21:36
Now you solidify your your, your defensive line.
2:21:39
You could have the, the best defensive line in the next two
2:21:42
or three years in all of the NFL if you do this, If Ruben Bayne
2:21:46
falls to them at 16, I, I don't think, I don't think they pass
2:21:50
up on him. I think they scoop him up and.
2:21:52
In that scenario too, you could also move Reese back to the edge
2:21:54
of Pope McDonald and flip flop them even on the same drive too
2:21:58
if you wanted to. And they said they're going to
2:22:00
use Reese in many different ways in a nickel.
2:22:02
They're going to move him around on the line.
2:22:04
And you have Will McDonald and you have Reuben Bain.
2:22:06
You have an elite defense in the next couple of years.
2:22:10
I. Defensive line with nobody in
2:22:11
the backfield. Well, they're going to, dude,
2:22:13
you do realize they have two seconds.
2:22:15
They do have. They have two second round draft
2:22:17
picks and there's going to be a lot of corners in this draft.
2:22:20
The Jets could scoop up to second round great corners in
2:22:24
the second round, and they're solidified there.
2:22:25
And just never get. What do you mean offense?
2:22:28
What are? You.
2:22:29
What are you talking about? Offense they have tailored.
2:22:32
This year. I I'm going to tell you this
2:22:35
right now, there's a lot of wide receivers in this class.
2:22:37
We were talking about it last week.
2:22:39
Jets fix is where the defense. I'm just telling you.
2:22:42
You start picking up the third round and The Jets here.
2:22:45
This is your playoff. Team and and The Jets actually
2:22:47
when they made they're. Trying to help him.
2:22:49
He's trying to when? When The Jets made those
2:22:51
straights, they added wide receivers that actually looked
2:22:54
good last year in the second-half.
2:22:56
So you're saying? And they have Garrett Wilson,
2:22:59
who's an absolute beast and they have and they have a guy like
2:23:03
Taylor who looked really good in the second-half when he started
2:23:05
to understand this game. I think they're going to be fine
2:23:07
on the offensive side of the ball and they still have briefs
2:23:09
hole there. So they're fine.
2:23:12
I, I don't know what you think they don't have and their
2:23:14
offensive line is going to be elite.
2:23:17
So I'm not worried about that. I'm really not.
2:23:20
Why are we not going to the payout stand?
2:23:22
What I just, I think they, I think they need another year,
2:23:25
possibly 2 to really develop some of these younger players.
2:23:28
So that's. Yeah, Bain.
2:23:29
Bain is a, is a is a outstanding athlete, outstanding talent.
2:23:33
Obviously the metrics matter in regards to drafting somebody in
2:23:37
the first round. His arms were short.
2:23:39
We heard the rumors. Everybody was going to use that.
2:23:41
Yeah. If he was dedicated to going to
2:23:45
the inside or more of a three technique, a speed rush 3
2:23:49
technique and and paying that, then I would think that he would
2:23:52
probably have more value and and probably more success in the
2:23:56
defensive line position if he was to actually entertain that
2:23:59
thought. But we're pretty sure he's going
2:24:01
to stay on the outside, stay on the edge and an attack from that
2:24:05
standpoint. But you know, with the news
2:24:07
coming out about the accident, then his short arms, I'm sure
2:24:10
he's going to drop. I don't see it going too far.
2:24:13
I don't think he'd make it to 16.
2:24:15
But I definitely think he's his stock has dropped a little bit
2:24:19
and then he'll go far from there.
2:24:20
But you also look at, you know, the highlights and you also look
2:24:23
at the film and you think, look at that.
2:24:25
The guy that I'm big on, I came, which we'll talk about later,
2:24:29
was a dog, was a dog was a stud was was one of the key
2:24:33
contributions to that defense having the success that it has.
2:24:36
So, but no, no disrespect to Bane and taking nothing away
2:24:40
from he's still all around great talent.
2:24:42
But I do think that if he was to entertain that three technique
2:24:45
from a speed rush position, I think he'll have more success
2:24:48
than he he's aware of. I, I think they might do that.
2:24:51
Whoever takes them. I'm, I'm thinking more like not
2:24:54
just a three tech, but a guy that you can play like across
2:24:58
from like the at the C gap over to the B gap.
2:25:01
You know what I mean? Like he could be in a 4I at
2:25:03
times. You can kind of really met do
2:25:05
some exotic fronts with this guy because he can get underneath
2:25:08
the guy and then they can't get to linebacker and then the
2:25:10
linebackers can blitz off of them because he's going to get
2:25:13
in their face. He's going to play differently.
2:25:14
He's not going to try to get by. He's going to try to get in your
2:25:16
chest and make you go back and now you can't get to linebacker
2:25:19
in the run game and they come free in the in the blitz
2:25:22
packages. I I think he's a really awesome
2:25:25
tool. Like you're saying, if they move
2:25:27
him inside a little bit and kind of dance them between an edge
2:25:30
and like a true like 3-4 and you know what I mean?
2:25:34
But we'll see what they do with them.
2:25:35
Let's go to the secondary you're talking about.
2:25:37
What if The Jets go secondary? They do.
2:25:40
They might need it. The top corner in this draft is
2:25:43
Mansoor the lane from LSU. So let's talk about why he's
2:25:49
ranked at number six overall, which is higher than I've seen
2:25:51
him in other places. Only a one year starter at LSU,
2:25:55
but started every year his whole career for transferring there.
2:25:59
Speed. I don't have where he
2:26:00
transferred from. I'm sure you have that for me.
2:26:02
But left outside corner in Blake Baker's balance, you know, plays
2:26:05
man, plays zone, not elite length.
2:26:08
But he stays in phase with everybody.
2:26:10
He runs with everybody. He you can't, you can't run by
2:26:13
him. You can't break inside of him.
2:26:15
He knows where the ball is going to be thrown before it's thrown.
2:26:19
He had no touchdowns allowed, no penalties all season in 2025.
2:26:24
The only thing is he doesn't have like the prototypical size.
2:26:27
It's not great, but that's it. Like the guy is a freaking dog
2:26:32
out. There, I will say this, Darrelle
2:26:34
Revis wasn't at an NFL size. He was like 5-10 and the guy
2:26:39
played at a high level and this guy plays just like Darrelle
2:26:43
Revis. He is Dulane Island.
2:26:45
You could call it Dulane Island. When he comes, if Jets see him
2:26:49
at 16, he falls to The Jets and there's other teams.
2:26:52
I could see a lot of teams drafting a player like this.
2:26:55
He plays at an elite level and like you said, he runs the
2:26:59
routes better than the wide receivers run the route.
2:27:01
So he understands route running and he uses his hand so very
2:27:05
well. I don't think the size means
2:27:06
anything. I've seen guys, very small guys
2:27:09
in the NFL play at elite level and and completely stop the big
2:27:13
wide receivers. This kids going to be a dog.
2:27:15
LSU corners have been successful in the NFL.
2:27:18
All of them have been successful.
2:27:20
I can't even remember an LSU corner that hasn't been
2:27:23
successful. I can think it was Morris
2:27:24
Claiborne, yeah. Maybe that yeah.
2:27:26
And he was decent in some years too.
2:27:27
So but they they've always played at elite levels in.
2:27:30
The NFL? Are you forgetting Stingley?
2:27:33
Stingley's great. Yeah, yeah, he's probably the
2:27:35
best LSU. They're all, all these LSU
2:27:38
corners. When they come out of LSU,
2:27:40
they're always successful. I say Patrick Peterson might
2:27:42
have an argument with that with Stingley, but.
2:27:44
Well, I mean, more recent I was. Saying Stingley was a higher
2:27:46
prospect at the time and he was like I thought as a freshman
2:27:49
too, and this kid with Delon, I like, I think, I think the.
2:27:52
How about the honey badger? Well, yeah, that one of the guys
2:27:56
to draft him. I remember that I'm.
2:27:57
Just saying. Yeah.
2:27:59
And I'm just saying. This kid, this kid has good
2:28:01
balance in his game, though mostly a man coverage guy, good
2:28:04
range. I think he trails the ball very
2:28:06
well as well and play in competition with the SEC that
2:28:09
has a lot of good receivers. Kind of transformed more into an
2:28:11
offensive conference than over the previously over the years.
2:28:14
And well, what do you go at six? I don't know, but I can see as
2:28:16
early as nine with the Chiefs. So just traded Trek Mcduffy.
2:28:18
You'll get Dallas at 12:00. There's a lot of possibilities.
2:28:21
Definitely at the end of that top ten, beginning of the teens.
2:28:24
Yeah, he's going. He's a dog, like straight up, I
2:28:27
don't care how you frame it, size, whatever technique.
2:28:31
One of the things you look at when you're looking at the
2:28:33
corner is patience, where he's just IQ at in regards to where
2:28:37
his hands at. So Ben, Ben that he's small,
2:28:39
he's going to be able to get away with some of those tugs on
2:28:42
the jerseys, some of those inside moves.
2:28:44
He's going to be able to cheat and listen, the guy is patient.
2:28:48
He tackles, he secured the ball, he run the routes before the
2:28:51
wide receiver get there. Definitely, you know, revisit,
2:28:56
but I can definitely see the activity and the swagger of
2:28:59
Tyrone Matthew as well. So I'm I'm definitely you know,
2:29:04
he's a one. He's I'm lost the words in
2:29:07
regards to how good this kid is. He's one of them ones and it's
2:29:11
going to be exciting to see him on Sundays for sure.
2:29:14
All right. I got another one of those ones
2:29:16
and I'm hoping he ends up in New York.
2:29:19
His name's Caleb Downs. He's safety from Ohio State. 2
2:29:23
year start at Ohio State, three-year start overall, played
2:29:25
every safety position in the three safety defense of Matt
2:29:29
Patricia. A lot of disguises, a lot of
2:29:31
trap zones. Some man often was a split
2:29:35
safety. He would work downhill in the
2:29:37
box and, as you know, made loud hits his whole career.
2:29:42
He jumps off the tape because he's so fast and instinctive
2:29:46
getting to the ball. In interviews, they're saying
2:29:48
that he was explaining to everyone how they run their
2:29:50
defense. Like he's a coach on the field
2:29:52
already and one of the most physical guys that we've seen.
2:29:56
He knows all the routes. This is probably the best safety
2:29:59
prospect we've seen in a number of years.
2:30:01
He's great, He's great. He also plays for Ohio State
2:30:05
Buckeye team that had elite talent around him.
2:30:08
And I'm not, I'm not taking this away from him.
2:30:11
I, I, I don't know about if he's the best safety we've seen in
2:30:14
the last five to 10 years there. There are a lot of good safeties
2:30:17
that have been drafted and have been successful in the NFL, but
2:30:20
we have to see how this guy develops in the league.
2:30:23
His speed is he, he's fast and he can play at a high level.
2:30:27
There's no question the Giants could use them.
2:30:29
A lot of other teams could use them.
2:30:30
Washington could use them. So there are a lot of teams that
2:30:33
are looking at him and see see him as a leader on, especially
2:30:37
in a secondary. You need that secondary leader,
2:30:40
those safeties, you need strong safety and your free safety.
2:30:42
He's one of those guys and can play both positions.
2:30:45
And if you need him to play corner like Matthews, the the
2:30:48
Honey Badger, I think he can play multiple positions.
2:30:50
So whatever you need him to do, I think he can do it.
2:30:53
I think he'd be a great draft pick for any team to draft him.
2:30:56
I just worry about, you know, being that his his ability and
2:31:00
like he likes to hit. Is he going to cause injury to
2:31:04
himself if he if he tries to play at that elite level in the
2:31:07
NFL when they're faster, bigger, stronger type of players?
2:31:11
Yeah, the Honey Badger comparison is definitely one
2:31:13
that's viable for this, for a guy that's even rangier in
2:31:16
coverage. I think that even Honey Badger
2:31:17
was at that time, too. And I know his Ohio State tape
2:31:20
is the one that's going to stand out the most, but also at
2:31:22
Alabama, when he played at Alabama about one year, they
2:31:24
were not a good defensive team that year.
2:31:26
That was actually one of their worst defenses in savings last
2:31:29
year. And then before that he was at
2:31:30
Oklahoma and they never had great defenses over there.
2:31:32
And he still was a a great player.
2:31:35
And yeah, Washington is 7 definitely very likely to
2:31:37
imagine this. Imagine him at if the Chief, if
2:31:40
he falls to the Chiefs at 9. No is Spagnolo.
2:31:42
That might be the best safety in the league in Year 1 or year 2
2:31:45
and that defensive scheme. Yeah, I'm I'm totally agree with
2:31:50
everything that's been saying. This guy's jumping off the on
2:31:54
the screen in regards to from the safety position.
2:31:56
I I do kind of, you know, would love to see him, you know,
2:32:00
instead of taking a big hit, which is hard to ask, go pick
2:32:02
the ball off a lot of times. But you know, he's a guy to
2:32:06
stick his his nose in there. He actually goes down downhill
2:32:09
hits. Players make plays very patient,
2:32:12
very athletic. So I think that he could do that
2:32:14
with a corner. He could go that do that with
2:32:16
the corner position as well. So I'm with that going wrong.
2:32:21
I don't know if he goes. I'm a little concerned about
2:32:24
that top six, top ten. I think he may get out of there.
2:32:28
I know he might fall out of the top 10, but it'll be interesting
2:32:31
if he's there. If he's there at 10, he's in a
2:32:35
New York Giant baby, let's go, let's go.
2:32:39
I mean, he better be. That's what they need.
2:32:40
The guy that called the call the secondary because they're not
2:32:43
that good in the secondary. If they have a guy that knows
2:32:45
how to get him in the right place and be physical and
2:32:47
aggressive, that would help you would think right?
2:32:50
Anyway, there's one other guy that a lot of people are mocking
2:32:53
to the Giants that's left in the top time.
2:32:55
Sonny Styles and his name is Sonny Styles.
2:32:58
You never see middle linebackers.
2:33:00
It's not just off ball linebacker.
2:33:02
This is the Mike linebacker. He's usually considered more a
2:33:04
run stopper and if they're good in coverage, you're like, Oh my
2:33:08
God, that's amazing. He's great in coverage.
2:33:10
He's great as a run stopper. He can do it all.
2:33:13
Sonny Styles 3 year start at Ohio State.
2:33:15
Played weak side backer Will Backer and Patricia's base wore
2:33:19
the green dot, meaning he called the defense this past season.
2:33:21
Played multiple safety roles the first couple of seasons so he
2:33:24
understands the secondary. He's one of the best coverage
2:33:27
linebackers you've ever seen, at least in college.
2:33:29
All American is a senior. 182 tackles his last two seasons.
2:33:33
As good as Reese's combine was, Styles was even freakier with
2:33:38
his vertical jump was 43 1/2. Like that's like NBA dunk
2:33:43
contest champion Vince Carter type dunking skills.
2:33:46
Again jumping. Skills Again, who cares what he
2:33:48
did at the. Comp Well, this guy is the big
2:33:50
deal, right? Everyone wants this guy.
2:33:52
He may not even be there at 5 for the Giants.
2:33:56
Everyone thinks he's the next great middle linebacker that
2:33:59
we've seen. I think he's going to be a good
2:34:01
player. I, I, I question what everybody
2:34:04
is saying about him because of what he did at the combine.
2:34:06
He was one of the leaders of that Ohio State Buckeye defense.
2:34:10
They also have an elite a bunch of players over there.
2:34:12
You just made you just mentioned downs.
2:34:14
We mentioned Reese, Sonny Styles.
2:34:16
I mean, that defense was the best defense in the country by a
2:34:20
long shot. So to sit here and and and say
2:34:23
that Sonny Styles, the reason why they were or he's a great
2:34:27
middle line, but we have to see how he develops.
2:34:29
His combine was very impressive, but you heard it from Albert
2:34:32
Hainsworth. Who cares?
2:34:33
We got to see him do it in the game and in a high level.
2:34:36
I want to see that at a high level before everybody questions
2:34:40
to try to call him quote UN quote.
2:34:42
I don't know Ray Lewis because he's not Ray Lewis.
2:34:45
I can tell you that. Now, definitely different traits
2:34:47
than what Ray Lewis had. Ray Lewis was a physical run
2:34:50
stuff and tackler that could cover.
2:34:51
Now Styles is more of that hybrid versatile type now.
2:34:54
Again, I'm going to temper my expectations this bit.
2:34:56
Errol knows us very well. I wanted the Giants badly to
2:34:58
draft Isaiah Simmons at the time at four in 2020, and that would
2:35:02
have turned out to be a. Dissenter he became, He became.
2:35:04
A giant later, yeah, and it made a couple of good special teams
2:35:07
plays. But again, I'm going to temper
2:35:08
my expectations with Styles as just other the three Ohio State
2:35:11
guys, maybe the lesser you. Just don't know how these guys
2:35:14
are going to turn into players in the NFL.
2:35:16
It's not really that. It's also how they're going to
2:35:18
be used because I think styles better of a rangy or like man
2:35:21
coverage type screen tackling type linebacker more than he is
2:35:24
a pass rusher. They use him as an A gap blitzer
2:35:26
sometimes but I want them to use him more in that type of role
2:35:29
rather than a stand up his own type guy.
2:35:32
Yeah, he he, he plays a little hard to me.
2:35:35
That's my only knock on him. I think that he reminds me like
2:35:39
Patrick Queen where it's like you got the athletic ability,
2:35:41
got the skill set, but sometimes can get caught playing too high
2:35:44
and even though you make the play, it's like, hey, you could
2:35:46
have had a 2 yard loss, but because you was playing high
2:35:49
that you you got a 2 yard gain. So outside of that, I like what
2:35:53
you're doing. Like I ever said earlier, that
2:35:54
was on a stack defense. So it's kind of hard not to be
2:35:57
great in those type of situations.
2:35:58
But he he plays well. He's he got good instincts.
2:36:02
I love to see him get Rick, get off blocks and shed a little bit
2:36:04
better and you know, and lower his past because you know, in
2:36:07
the NFL that's going to catch you, you start running up
2:36:09
against running backs like Derek Harry and you know, Saquon and
2:36:13
everything list goes on and whatnot.
2:36:15
But other than that, you know, great talent.
2:36:17
I, I can see him bouncing down by the mid round first, mid mid
2:36:23
first. Wow.
2:36:25
I don't know, man. Like the guys sideline to
2:36:28
sideline, like, like you wouldn't believe because of how
2:36:30
fast he is. Yeah.
2:36:32
And he's got a nose for the ball.
2:36:33
You're right. He probably does need to put on
2:36:35
size. You know, I think everybody
2:36:36
coming into from college, the NFL is going to have to put on a
2:36:39
little bit of weight. You know what I mean at least.
2:36:40
Stop with the hybrid stuff. Stop with the hybrid stuff and
2:36:43
let these kids eat man. Well, look, if they play him,
2:36:46
you know, as a will linebacker in a 425 and they, you know,
2:36:49
eventually give him like calling the defense responsibilities
2:36:52
from that backers position. You know, he now he's the guy
2:36:55
that's covering whatever's in the flat on the weak side,
2:36:58
right? And he is better than anybody
2:37:00
else that you want because of his speed and his ability
2:37:03
because as a safety when he was starting, you know, he just has
2:37:06
that coverage ability. And you know, today's NFL is all
2:37:08
about coverage more than it is the run game, even though you
2:37:10
got to stop the run. I think he's good enough in the
2:37:13
run, but he might just be unreal in the past game.
2:37:16
So we'll see what happens. I hope the Giants get them.
2:37:18
We could use somebody who's good at linebackers.
2:37:20
Is tricky. Right.
2:37:22
I mean, look, if he could erase some of those little swing
2:37:25
screens, bro, like that's a big deal.
2:37:27
It's a big deal and they have Downs doing it on the other side
2:37:30
if they get both of them big. Blue baby is back.
2:37:33
They're not. Kidding.
2:37:34
So let's let's pick up the pace. Let's talk about the other
2:37:37
corners in this draft. And we're just going to talk
2:37:39
about next one is Jermod Mccoy's ranked #14 from Tennessee.
2:37:44
And you have Chris Johnson from San Diego State at 24.
2:37:48
Avion, Terrell. I love the Clemson kid.
2:37:50
I love. Avion, Terrell.
2:37:52
AJ Terrelle, Brother. Love the Clemson kit?
2:37:55
Him Colton Hood, the other Tennessee corner, so 2 Tennessee
2:37:58
corners expected to go in the first round, according to this.
2:38:01
And then I threw in as a little, you know, just because he's a
2:38:04
champion and had that pick. 6 D'Angelo Pons, the smaller
2:38:08
corner from Indiana. That was awesome.
2:38:11
I think the two best corners in this class is Tyrell and Pons.
2:38:15
I that's my opinion. I'm not saying Dulane's not
2:38:18
going to be great and he's not going to be up there with them,
2:38:20
but I watched Tyrell play all season long and that Clemson
2:38:23
defense, he was all over the place.
2:38:25
He's a little undersized too guys fast.
2:38:27
He can run every single route. He had his hands all over the
2:38:30
place and Pons another, another beast on the football field.
2:38:34
He's going to fall. A lot of people think Pons could
2:38:36
fall to the second round. I, I think he is an absolute
2:38:39
early second round draft pick for The Jets.
2:38:41
I, I'd scoop him right up, he'd be my guy.
2:38:44
So I, Terrell Pons, any one of those guys.
2:38:47
I think The Jets are right there.
2:38:49
They got their one guy and and he's perfect.
2:38:51
So I like it both. I think they're both elite
2:38:53
players. Yeah, I like Pons a lot too.
2:38:55
He's gonna probably follow the second round because of his
2:38:57
size, but he's a has a very well-rounded game.
2:38:59
I'm gonna I'm gonna bring up Chris Johnson though with San
2:39:01
Diego State. I think he's a guy that plays
2:39:02
all types of combo coverages too, has very good ball Hawking
2:39:05
skills and you can say, oh, it's a it's a small school
2:39:07
conference, but the Mountain West had some really good
2:39:09
offensive teams and he played very well for a while.
2:39:12
McCoy is the one that I think is a little overrated.
2:39:14
I think him coming off of injury, I think he's only really
2:39:16
a man coverage guy, not overly skilled as a role.
2:39:19
I think if they dropped him at 12, I think that's a.
2:39:21
Reason I love Terrell just so everybody likes Terrell.
2:39:23
I love Terrell, love him so. Yeah, I think Ponce probably is
2:39:27
the sleeper out of this. And then like I said, the
2:39:29
metrics matter. So they probably gonna, you
2:39:32
know, like y'all said, he's gonna probably drop because he's
2:39:35
undersized or whatever. But you know, out of those
2:39:37
three, you know, for the first time in his shot, I have to
2:39:40
agree with Earl like Hans, this part is this is the late,
2:39:44
sneaky, valuable corner in the in the in the in the in the
2:39:49
drive Fisher. So he probably do go to the
2:39:51
second round. Hopefully The Jets do pick them.
2:39:53
That'd be great because then we have a rush and we have a a
2:39:55
corner that replace Sauce and get this playoff team back on.
2:40:00
The right track. They got three first round draft
2:40:02
picks next year. I think they're going to be
2:40:03
licking their lips next year because that class is going to
2:40:05
be really good. So loaded.
2:40:12
Just to mention before we move on the next position group,
2:40:14
McCoy didn't play last year was hurt.
2:40:16
So the other corner who played for him was Colton Hood.
2:40:19
He's up there too. He was he was just switched to
2:40:22
defense recently. Just super athletes in
2:40:25
Tennessee, you know, that can just run like the the wind
2:40:27
blows. Remember Jalen Hyatt, he was
2:40:29
really fast too. Not exactly.
2:40:31
A great player, I'm really. Devious but.
2:40:32
He's still kind of iffy, not as well-rounded as the other guys
2:40:36
list. I, I just worry about some of
2:40:39
those Tennessee guys at the secondary and receiver position.
2:40:42
Let's move on to the next position group.
2:40:43
I've got edge rusher here. So let's talk about Keldrick
2:40:47
Faulk, the Auburn edge rusher. He was ranked #15 super
2:40:50
high-ranking here, then lower than I expected.
2:40:54
Hakeem Mezidor, obviously the other Miami edge rusher, kind of
2:40:59
played off the ball a little bit more maybe than Bain did, but
2:41:02
three-year starter at Miami. A lot of people got really happy
2:41:05
watching him stuff the run, especially in the playoffs.
2:41:10
And then we have a couple of guys that are fringe first
2:41:12
rounders, TJ Parker, the other Clemson big name on that
2:41:16
defense, really good player. And then you have the small
2:41:20
school guy, Malachi Lawrence from not really small school,
2:41:22
but UCFS edge rusher and Zion Young, who is from Missouri.
2:41:29
So we have a few edge rushers there, but I think that we need
2:41:32
to talk a little bit about Falk and Mezador here.
2:41:34
I'm going to tell you this about Mezador.
2:41:36
I could see the Cowboys sneaking up, getting Bane and getting
2:41:39
Mezador, getting both these guys and having them pair up on that
2:41:43
defensive line. So because they don't have a
2:41:45
first round draft pick next year, because it's going to The
2:41:47
Jets, they get Mezador and Bane. I mean, they're right in the
2:41:53
driver's seat. Absolutely.
2:41:54
They don't have their second round pick because that goes to
2:41:56
The Jets this year. So they're they're in a really
2:41:59
good position. And I think Mesodor will fall to
2:42:02
the Cowboys and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue this.
2:42:04
I think Bane my fault to the the Cowboys too.
2:42:07
Could you imagine them get both of them?
2:42:09
I think Mesodor is fantastic. He's a great player.
2:42:12
I watched him play throughout the tournament.
2:42:14
I watched him play in Miami. Old season Jason Taylor guy,
2:42:17
love the kid. I I think he's going to be
2:42:19
great. TJ Parker, he's going to be a
2:42:21
good player. The Clemson defense, I watched
2:42:23
him play a couple of times this year.
2:42:24
I think he's very explosive, on the edge and I love Faulk.
2:42:28
I think Faulk could be one of the more underrated pass rushers
2:42:32
in this class this year. I like him too.
2:42:34
Yeah, I actually have Faulk kind of not far behind Bailey,
2:42:37
honestly kind of the reverse type of player.
2:42:39
His production level wasn't as good but his rates are a lot
2:42:41
better. well-rounded game. He just was stuck on a really
2:42:44
bad Auburn defense and faced a lot of double teams.
2:42:46
Mesador I think is pretty appropriately ranked.
2:42:48
Fish I think they said in the description to a guy that played
2:42:50
DT for a while too so he definitely has some power in his
2:42:52
game. They're definitely worth it as a
2:42:53
late first round pick. Parker I do like as well.
2:42:56
I don't sleep on Malachi Lawrence though just because he
2:42:57
was like not now Big 12 but previously smaller school.
2:43:00
He's explosive too, with a good. And I'll say this, the Cowboys
2:43:03
have 2/3 round draft picks next year.
2:43:05
If Mesador falls in the second round, I could see the Cowboys
2:43:09
trading up those two third round picks to move up in the second
2:43:12
round to get Mesador to combine them with Bain.
2:43:14
If Bain falls to them, I think it makes a lot of sense and the
2:43:17
Cowboys will solidify their defense.
2:43:20
So why would you take Mesador at the top of the second?
2:43:22
Well, they don't have a second round draft pick.
2:43:24
No New York Jets. I don't think The Jets, I don't
2:43:27
think The Jets, they're going to go corner in the second round,
2:43:29
especially if they go Ty Simpson in the 16.
2:43:32
I don't know what The Jets are going to do you.
2:43:34
Just talking about two first. 2 I don't, I don't think. 3 I
2:43:38
don't don't know what. They're gonna do.
2:43:40
I don't know what they're gonna do at 16.
2:43:42
When we know what they do at 16, we'll know what they're gonna do
2:43:45
and. You know what Simpson at?
2:43:48
I don't know, maybe, maybe The Jets believe that Simpsons not
2:43:51
the guy and next year's class is the class there.
2:43:54
I don't know what The Jets are trying to do.
2:43:56
I don't know what they're. Thinking they don't need Ty
2:43:59
Simpson, Gino's aren't going to bring him to the promised land.
2:44:02
No, he's just going to get us to the playoffs and Simpson would
2:44:04
get us to the promise. But listen, Mesador is the guy.
2:44:07
Mesador is the guy. Listen, he's underrated.
2:44:10
Then whoever gets him is going to get us there.
2:44:12
I think he's probably on my board.
2:44:15
He's probably the one or two, and the only reason why is
2:44:19
because I do believe in the metrics and I do believe that if
2:44:22
you put every reason the right system, he can be successful.
2:44:25
But for the most part, I got him right behind it, if not in front
2:44:28
of him. He plays already across the
2:44:30
board. He has the speed, he has the
2:44:32
hands, he's getting, he's violent.
2:44:34
I think he's a game changer. Parker would be my #2 right
2:44:38
after that in regards to the three that was listed.
2:44:41
He very at their very big body. So I think that he will be my #2
2:44:45
out there and then fault will come in 3rd.
2:44:47
See, I love Faulk. I'm a big fan of this guy.
2:44:51
Errol. You know who my favorite
2:44:52
defensive player for the Giants was?
2:44:54
I don't think I've ever told you this.
2:44:56
Who is that? I had his jersey.
2:44:57
It was Justin. It was Justin Tuck.
2:44:59
Oh, speech favorite. And I wore that jersey out until
2:45:02
the numbers wore off of it. I wore so.
2:45:04
Much so funny thing you love Justin Tuck.
2:45:06
I we've met we, I've interviewed Justin Tuck 2, three times and
2:45:10
he's so gracious, one of the nicest people I met.
2:45:13
AI got a chance to meet his wife.
2:45:14
He is straight, you know, he's just straight to the point with
2:45:18
every he. Played.
2:45:19
He played until the wheels fell off his leg literally gave out
2:45:22
on him. He couldn't play no more.
2:45:23
I love that guy. He was drafted.
2:45:26
He was drafted either second or third round.
2:45:28
Speedy from Notre. Dame third round.
2:45:30
Yeah, Notre. Dame right thing with him Notre
2:45:32
Dame and they thought, you know, he wasn't going to be able to
2:45:34
get a lot of you know, pressure on the quarterback and they they
2:45:37
question a little bit of arm length with him and he's bigger.
2:45:40
Well, that's who this guy Faulk is Faulk is a bigger and they
2:45:44
can slide him inside. He plays a lot of four.
2:45:46
I already Kendrick Faulk. They're going to slide him
2:45:49
slanting into the B gap all the time.
2:45:52
Again, get into the guy, be physical, be monstrous in the
2:45:56
run game, and then just keep chopping people with heavy.
2:45:58
Monstrous. That's what that's what Tuck
2:46:01
did, man, and it was effective for years for the Giants.
2:46:04
Love that guy. I'm down here with OC too.
2:46:06
Yeah, sure. Maybe I can do something for
2:46:09
you. I love OC, I mean what do you
2:46:11
have 6 sacks on McNabb one time Errol 6 sacks.
2:46:14
On McNabb, that jet, that jet, honestly, the Giants was crazy.
2:46:18
I I actually loved OC out of all the all the pass rushers they
2:46:22
had. He was so dominant.
2:46:24
He what? A speed rusher.
2:46:26
You know, it was him and DeMarcus Ware and Troy in
2:46:28
college together. What an unfair.
2:46:31
It's crazy. That's crazy.
2:46:33
And for Troy, too. How did you say that it is true?
2:46:36
So let's, let's talk a little about safety.
2:46:38
There's only a couple more that I want to talk about #18 Dylan
2:46:41
Feynman from Oregon. Speedy and I were talking about
2:46:44
him earlier today. And then Emmanuel McNeil Warren,
2:46:46
the Toledo safety is the other one.
2:46:49
So quickly, he's talking about Feynman.
2:46:51
If you were watching Oregon, he was the one making plays in the
2:46:53
secondary. This guy is everywhere.
2:46:55
It's incredible how good he is. You know, he played, you know,
2:46:58
that hybrid. You know, he can be in the box.
2:47:01
He could be out-of-the-box. 300 combined tackles in three
2:47:04
seasons. Averaged about 8 tackles a
2:47:06
start. Very athletic against the pass
2:47:10
and is able to get downhill on the run.
2:47:13
Not that big so he won't go at the top of the draft.
2:47:16
So you a little worry about that in a run game.
2:47:18
But again, to me, this is like a Harrison Smith type, a guy
2:47:23
that's just gonna dominate for years.
2:47:25
Just don't ask him to be like the physical guy in the box.
2:47:27
I will say this, go look at all the organ secondary players that
2:47:31
have been drafted, including the newest one who was drafted by
2:47:34
the Patriots at #17 he's pretty damn good.
2:47:36
And Feynman is that kind of player.
2:47:39
I think he's a game changing player.
2:47:41
I love him. I I think he might fall from a
2:47:44
top 18 because of his size. He could maybe even fall out of
2:47:48
the first round because there's going to be guys that are going
2:47:51
to be moving up and down. So he'd be right on the top of
2:47:54
the second round. Draft teams might trade up for
2:47:56
somebody like him. Minnesota is a team that could
2:48:00
use a star safety as their safety.
2:48:03
Their older safety is getting there, up there in age.
2:48:06
I like Warren from Toledo. I think he's going to be a good
2:48:09
player in the NFL. He's going to be also another
2:48:12
guy that could fall out of the first round.
2:48:14
Second round pick could be a steal.
2:48:16
So I like them both. Yeah, I I think Thyman should go
2:48:19
in the first round, but I agree with you.
2:48:20
I think he probably falls out just because of his size of his
2:48:22
size and because of the position premium.
2:48:24
So you don't really see safeties as much go anymore.
2:48:26
But I agree with you Fish. I think he's very versatile, not
2:48:28
overly physical, but good ball Hawking skills and very rangy.
2:48:31
McNeil Warren kind of versatile as well.
2:48:33
The only way I see him going in the first round is if the Eagles
2:48:35
draft him to pair him with Quinion Mitchell.
2:48:37
They play with a college. If you would ask me right now,
2:48:40
if I were the Giants, I try to move up in the late first round
2:48:43
to get Thyman. That's what I would.
2:48:44
Definitely, definitely I would. I would a lot of candy.
2:48:48
Makeup for. A team I would because you're
2:48:50
not getting downs. I'm gonna say if you.
2:48:51
If I'm saying you get him a 10, we can get him a 10.
2:48:54
It's too high, you know. That's too high.
2:48:56
I think it's. Too high.
2:48:58
Listen, this guy's a hard nosed downhill safety, but I have no
2:49:02
idea why you guys would trade up to pick him up.
2:49:05
I think he's a second round guarantee pick.
2:49:08
He'll be there for whoever wants him and yeah, so I wouldn't
2:49:12
train nowhere near first top tier pick to get him.
2:49:15
I never said that. So like you're saying like
2:49:18
Errol, like if the Giants are sitting with #37 yes.
2:49:21
Then they try to trade up to like 20. 9 I would try to trade
2:49:25
up picks to try to get up there to get the guy that you want if.
2:49:28
Oh, second round. Yeah, second.
2:49:29
Round, yeah, I thought you was saying first.
2:49:31
I was like, what? The well, well, if you want to
2:49:33
move up in the late first round, draft last late first round, if
2:49:36
you could scoop them up. And maybe maybe that's the way
2:49:39
to get rid of Thibodeau. You know, you give your pack
2:49:41
it's Tibido with your second and you get into the end of the. 1st
2:49:44
I don't think anybody wants Tibido so.
2:49:46
I I think people want them people.
2:49:48
People are pretty stupid. That's the wrong you get a first
2:49:50
round jet. No, I didn't, but I, I, I
2:49:52
definitely. You still have.
2:49:53
I still think they no, because I I don't think, I think they
2:49:56
still got robbed. Bengals need another end
2:49:58
opposite of Boy and Maffei the. Jets got our first Tim Williams.
2:50:02
So maybe there's competition there.
2:50:07
All right, let's let's get to the next one.
2:50:09
And this is the one that. Are we almost done with this?
2:50:12
We got this in the linebacker and we're done.
2:50:14
But we got the D tackles because now Dexter Lawrence is gone at
2:50:18
37. There's a good chance AD tackle,
2:50:21
one of the three or four best ones are available.
2:50:24
The only one that has a first round grade, according to this
2:50:27
is at #32, the last pick of the first round.
2:50:29
Kate, Ohio. State.
2:50:31
Of course, he's fantastic. Peter Woods from Clemson, if you
2:50:35
watch Clemson, you saw Peter Woods a whole lot pushing the
2:50:38
pocket back. He's really quick off the ball.
2:50:41
And then George's D tackle Christian Miller is at 43 more
2:50:45
of a second round grade. But again, you know, just a big
2:50:49
athletic monster that Georgia loves to have at all times.
2:50:53
Talk about those three guys, especially McDonald, you know,
2:50:57
just he's kind of smart. He plays these games just like
2:51:01
they're just so talented on Ohio State defense.
2:51:03
They allowed him to freelance, kind of like how Albert
2:51:05
Haynesworth was telling us earlier tonight, you know, with
2:51:07
Schwartz, where you know, we got your back.
2:51:09
Our linebackers are so fast. Just make sure you stay in the
2:51:12
gap you started in and ball out. You kind of see got him do this
2:51:16
stuff. I like Peter Woods out of all
2:51:18
these guys. I watched Clemson play a couple
2:51:20
of times. I've watched that defense.
2:51:22
They they play at such a high level too.
2:51:25
I like what he does, 14 pressures, 3.5 tackles.
2:51:28
I mean this guy can play at a high level.
2:51:31
I like him a lot. I I would take Peter Woods over
2:51:34
maybe Kate and McDonald because McDonald played with elite
2:51:38
defenses, defensive players. So we don't know what he can do
2:51:42
when he is the guy. I could tell you this about the
2:51:46
kid from Clemson, Peter Woods. I think he's just, I think he's
2:51:49
a player that has proven himself to be the a guy, an elite player
2:51:53
in the NFL if you give him an opportunity.
2:51:54
So I like Woods over Mr. McDonald.
2:51:58
Yeah, I like Woods a lot as a top 15, even 20 pick for teams
2:52:02
of seeking defensive tackle in the middle of the first round.
2:52:04
I think I saw some drafts in the beginning of the process that
2:52:07
had him top ten. I never thought he was that
2:52:09
high, but because he had a bad year.
2:52:10
But he's extremely quick, productive player in 2024.
2:52:13
I had a bad year last year, but he's definitely my favorite.
2:52:15
McDonald I do worry about too. I think Caleb Banks from
2:52:17
Florida, who wasn't on this list is higher.
2:52:19
Than MO speedy. Yeah, and I think I've seen late
2:52:23
first round grades on him. Buffalo, I think it is a team
2:52:25
that could use him. Miller I like do like too.
2:52:27
I think he's a little more raw and he just needs more time.
2:52:29
Second round grade for him. Yeah, Speedy said it best.
2:52:32
Caleb Banks, man, I'm taking care of the banks of all three
2:52:35
of these guys. But I do think that he is the
2:52:38
most underrated and he should definitely be somewhere within
2:52:41
that top second round pick if you look for an interior D9.
2:52:46
You know, actually I had a different guy that I really
2:52:48
like. I told you earlier, Speedy, the
2:52:50
guy I like is Lee Hunter. He was kind of making all the
2:52:53
the space for David Bailey over there all season.
2:52:56
That guy, I was watching one of the playoff games and he just
2:52:59
destroyed. He started at nose and got to
2:53:01
the sideline and lit somebody up behind for a tackle for loss on
2:53:05
the sideline. Any nose tackle that can move
2:53:08
that quick and stop the run on the sideline.
2:53:10
He's a guy I want on my team. If they can get him in like they
2:53:13
trade back say from 10 if Downs isn't there, right and maybe
2:53:16
they get diamond at 20, they'll should be able to add a third
2:53:20
and something else for that. Maybe they get Lee Hunter top of
2:53:23
the third round. That guy in my opinion, would be
2:53:26
the perfect replacement for Dexter Lawrence.
2:53:28
He'll be there. That's the tackle we.
2:53:29
Have late 3rd and early 4th. He'll be there.
2:53:32
If he's in there in the 4th, that's a slam dunk in the 4th
2:53:34
for anyone who takes him because that dude can play.
2:53:37
But again, it's a 2 down player, right?
2:53:39
So how much value do you put on that last guy to talk about?
2:53:42
Last but not least, Errol. I said we were going to talk
2:53:45
about him. Spoiled a little earlier with
2:53:46
Sunny Styles. The other linebacker on this
2:53:47
list is Jacob Rodriguez. He was.
2:53:50
The lot #40 on this list, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes
2:53:53
higher. He's 2 1/2 year starter at Texas
2:53:56
Tech again, Will linebacker in a 425.
2:53:59
We're seeing that be like the skill position because let's
2:54:01
face it, you want to have the better the better linebacker to
2:54:03
be the will linebacker. He's got to cover more ground,
2:54:05
cover the weak side flats, but each one to Chuck Benaric, the
2:54:09
Lombardi, the Bronco Nagurski, the Buckis came in fifth in the
2:54:12
Heisman Trophy race as a linebacker.
2:54:14
Super fast, a little light in the ass in the run game.
2:54:18
But some people compare him to like Urlacher in the past game.
2:54:23
No, no, like just being able to do that.
2:54:25
This the same type of player very.
2:54:27
Styled Ray Lewis please. I'm just.
2:54:32
Saying he's in the pass. Game in the pass game, he's one
2:54:36
of the best, like like secondary type, like pass defending
2:54:40
linebackers. Fish, fish, fish.
2:54:41
Fish, fish. Watch.
2:54:44
He's going to be elite. I'm not saying he's not going to
2:54:46
be good, but I am not comparing him to Brian Urlacher and I'm
2:54:52
not going to and I'm not going to compare Sonny Styles to Ray
2:54:55
Lewis. It's.
2:54:57
Crazy. Just in the past, I didn't say.
2:55:00
This is extreme. You're talking about Hall of
2:55:02
Famers, elite players at their positions, the best players of
2:55:06
their positions of all time. This is nuts.
2:55:09
I It's crazy. What if he is?
2:55:11
What if he ends up? He's not?
2:55:13
He's. Not he's not.
2:55:15
And I I. Can tell you got to get better I
2:55:16
guess. I like Jacob Rodriguez.
2:55:18
I think he's going to be a good player.
2:55:19
I think he's going to be a first round draft pick.
2:55:21
He's definitely going to be a first round draft pick.
2:55:23
He's higher than what they rate him at 40.
2:55:25
I think he's fast. I think he's proven himself as a
2:55:28
college player. I still think he's a little bit
2:55:30
undersized at his position. That's that's what I think.
2:55:34
I'll have to see what he's going to do in the NFL with their
2:55:36
bigger, stronger, faster guys. I've been saying this over and
2:55:38
over and over again. That's just my.
2:55:40
Fish, you remember how high last year I was on Jihad Campbell and
2:55:42
I thought he was a midfirst round pick.
2:55:44
And I think, well, I think Rodriguez does have some work to
2:55:46
do in the wrong game. I think he's a little more
2:55:48
complete of a player overall than even Campbell's now.
2:55:50
Camera I think is a little faster in terms of side to side,
2:55:53
but I think Rodriguez's motor like release on the lightest
2:55:55
scrimmage is even better. So I definitely think this is
2:55:57
the first round pick. I got him down for going second
2:56:01
round, but I do think he's a hell of a talent.
2:56:04
I think he's undersized. They probably use them as a
2:56:06
nickel if you don't gain any weight.
2:56:09
Just have some different mixed up packages and whatnot.
2:56:12
So kid is athletic, kid can fly, but he's definitely too light.
2:56:17
I don't see if you don't gain enough weight in the near
2:56:20
future. I could see him being pushed out
2:56:22
to a nickel, especially with the 425 defense that they got going
2:56:26
on and all these other different packages.
2:56:30
Said to do that. I would, I would call it, you
2:56:32
know, like the big nickel, right?
2:56:33
That's big nickel. Yeah, yeah.
2:56:35
The way we describe it, I know the Giants are running a defense
2:56:38
with Denard Wilson, big nickel. I'm just.
2:56:41
Throwing. I know the Giants, Sir.
2:56:43
I know that's. Happening.
2:56:44
It's always the Giants. Do you notice that?
2:56:46
You know. That's all I care.
2:56:47
Always the Giants. If he's his backup plan if they
2:56:50
miss Styles and the Giants, Rodriguez, I've.
2:56:52
Got. I've got contingencies, speedy.
2:56:54
I'm ready for whatever. I know the Giants are winning
2:56:57
the big tile. Guys, we can annoy Q with it all
2:57:00
season because he loves the hybrid defender.
2:57:01
The Giants, The Giants will get them.
2:57:03
I mean, the Giants will have them.
2:57:04
Yeah, exactly. All right, wonderful.
2:57:08
That's the segment, guys. On Thursday we do the draft
2:57:11
show. We'll see how right I was.
2:57:15
How wrong you are. We won't know how right you are
2:57:18
until these players actually step on a football field and
2:57:21
prove them. As you say, Ray Lewis or Ryan
2:57:24
Urlacher, I mean. Errol, we don't usually do this,
2:57:27
but if you want when we come back from the break we got call
2:57:29
your shot. Why don't we just make draft
2:57:31
predictions of what of who our teams are going to take?
2:57:37
Is that our call, our shots? Are we really?
2:57:39
That's going to take too long. Oh, it's 40.
2:57:42
Just. Not the whole draft.
2:57:44
Of the first round. Your team, Yeah.
2:57:46
I don't need to know who they're taking in the seventh.
2:57:48
Well, you know. He's losing it nicely.
2:57:50
Yeah, I am losing it, dude. I had to take a dump last night,
2:57:53
You know, in front of people, you know, 11 people waiting.
2:57:56
Stay off the stool man. Doing it breakfast and
2:57:59
everything. Listen, listen, I have AI.
2:58:02
First of all, I, I, I eat I and I take care of myself.
2:58:06
I got to eat some carbs, man, and I eat my carbs and I, I get
2:58:09
into the gym and I workout, dude, every time we talk on the
2:58:12
phone, Where am I? Where am I?
2:58:14
Walking on the train. I'm in the, I'm in the.
2:58:17
Gym. I'm in the gym so, so when when
2:58:21
you know where I am, you know what I'm doing.
2:58:24
He ought to fuck with two hours. He ought to train me.
2:58:27
First of all, not always I was benching.
2:58:30
I was, I was first of all, I go 3.53 point 6 on an incline of
2:58:34
11. I mean for 30 minutes.
2:58:37
I mean how many people and I'm doing it and I by the way, I do
2:58:40
it with moccasins. If you guys, I actually I.
2:58:43
Strengthen my. I strengthen.
2:58:46
I strengthen my ankles because I've always, I've always said
2:58:49
this as an athlete, you need strong ankles.
2:58:51
So nobody, everybody watches me when I'm doing, when I'm on an
2:58:55
incline and I'm like, you're actually doing it when
2:58:57
moccasins, you have no ankle support.
2:59:00
Everybody tells me I'm crazy, but I do it because I
2:59:02
strengthen. You know, I just.
2:59:04
Do it. Calves and everything.
2:59:05
No, I, I do. I've done it before.
2:59:07
Barefooted I've done. It does.
2:59:09
You prefer the moccasins. So Errol, you ready for this?
2:59:12
Are we going to do on the fly? Call your shot.
2:59:14
All right, let's do it. Call your shot.
2:59:17
I'm not an X's and O's guy, right?
2:59:18
I'm not a tactician. I'm a motivator in the classic
2:59:21
sense of the word. You know Lombardi, Charles
2:59:23
Lindbergh, that nun over in India, like those people?
2:59:26
Call your shot. All right, Errol, it's time to
2:59:33
make predictions that are little outlandish.
2:59:36
You know, I'm not afraid of this.
2:59:38
I know you're not afraid of this.
2:59:40
It's time to call your shot. All right, Who do you want to go
2:59:44
first? I'm going to say speedy first, Q
2:59:47
second, fish third, me 4th. All right, so mine was actually
2:59:52
already draft related Anyway, so there are 6 teams with multiple
2:59:56
first round picks in this draft. Obviously both New York teams
3:00:00
now, the Browns, the Chiefs, the Dolphins and the Cowboys.
3:00:03
So six of those teams have two first round picks.
3:00:07
I'm going to say 2 of them. Trade back into the first round
3:00:11
and get a third first round pick, most likely candidates.
3:00:14
I'm going to say the Chiefs and the Browns because the Browns,
3:00:16
they're very desperate. They have AGM that I thought was
3:00:18
good for a while. Then it's all of a sudden he's
3:00:20
got into a tailspin. And the Chiefs, we've seen them
3:00:22
do that a lot with Xavier Worthy.
3:00:23
They traded up. They traded up to get Trent
3:00:25
Mcduffie from the second round to 21.
3:00:28
So I could see them very likely or the Giants or The Jets.
3:00:30
I think one of them could trade their early second round pick
3:00:33
into the first round. So my Collier shot is multiple
3:00:35
teams will have three first round picks.
3:00:39
All right, cute. I got The Jets at 2 with Averys.
3:00:43
I don't think nobody's going to ever debate that.
3:00:46
And then for what, 16, right? Yeah, 16.
3:00:50
Yeah, I'm going to go. They're going to go offense, so
3:00:54
they're going to go wide receiver.
3:00:55
I'm gonna say they're probably going to go Mario the junior.
3:00:57
Oh. Mario OK, All right.
3:01:02
Come on, Omar Cooper. Junior All right, here's mine.
3:01:06
The Giants are going to take sunny Styles at #5.
3:01:11
There's Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis.
3:01:13
The next Ray Lewis, Sunny Styles Sun, sunny like sunny on the
3:01:16
Causeway, New York City Godfather.
3:01:19
He is going to be the godfather of the defense.
3:01:21
Great job then picking him. But then at 10, I don't think
3:01:26
Caleb Downs will be there. I think he will go before that.
3:01:28
So the Giants will trade back. They will trade back with the
3:01:31
Detroit Lions, who want to get up there and they want to get
3:01:35
Ruben Bain and add him to that defense opposite aiding
3:01:38
Hutchinson. And instead, because he's still
3:01:40
going to be there and the Giants will trade back and wait on
3:01:45
someone you don't like a lot, Errol.
3:01:47
I know where you're. Going because he's not healthy,
3:01:49
but his name's Jordan Tyson and if he can stay healthy, he is
3:01:54
the perfect compliment to Malik. Neighbors on the opposite side
3:01:57
and they had him in for a visit. They wined and dined him.
3:02:00
I'm here and Tyson might be their guy.
3:02:01
I just don't think you can take him at 10.
3:02:03
I see them trading back to do that.
3:02:05
Get that extra third take, my boy Lee Hunter.
3:02:07
Get rid of a hurt deep defensive tackle to take on another
3:02:11
injured player. All right, I didn't say they're
3:02:13
smart. Fish.
3:02:15
The scenario I'm scared with the Giants trading back into the
3:02:17
first round is they'll take either one of the two undersized
3:02:19
receivers with Boston or the other one we're talking about.
3:02:24
I forget. His name now Concepcion.
3:02:26
Yeah, All right. I got Reese going to.
3:02:28
I don't think there's an argument with that.
3:02:30
The Giants are going to get Sonny Styles at 5:00.
3:02:32
I absolutely believe that's where they're going at 10.
3:02:35
They're not moving back. They're going to get Jordan
3:02:37
there. Tyson's going to go there at 10.
3:02:39
They're not moving back forward. They're going to be sitting
3:02:41
there. They're going to draft Jordan's.
3:02:43
Everything that I've heard is they love the kid.
3:02:45
Tyson's going to go 10. He's going to be the first wide
3:02:48
receiver off, and I'm going to predict this.
3:02:51
The Jets are going to try to get, and I'll say this, Tate is
3:02:56
going to be there. I think The Jets try to move up
3:02:57
and try to get Tate and sneak in there and get the wide receiver
3:03:00
to play on the other side with Mr. Buckeye himself, Garrett
3:03:04
Wilson. You have two Buckeyes on one,
3:03:06
one one guy on one side and the other guy on the other.
3:03:09
I think The Jets will try to move up a couple of spots, maybe
3:03:13
give up one of their second round draft picks to move up
3:03:16
maybe 2 spots to get Tate. Wow.
3:03:20
And there it is. We'll see on Thursday.
3:03:22
It should be fun. So there you go.
3:03:25
I mean, cuz I've been hearing that The Jets really like Tate
3:03:28
Garrett Wilson and him are very close.
3:03:30
They train together, They've been training together in this
3:03:33
offseason. So and they say that this kids
3:03:35
hands are the best hands that they've seen since Jefferson.
3:03:40
They think his hands are like like a Justin Jefferson's.
3:03:43
Sorry you had one. That's what I'm saying.
3:03:45
I'm just saying, I'm not saying that he's just.
3:03:46
He's come up here and say that he got best hands.
3:03:49
No, no, they're just saying that he has.
3:03:51
Dude, how many times did he drop the ball?
3:03:53
I mean the guy don't drop the ball.
3:03:55
The guy, they say that his hands are like.
3:03:58
They like this coming. They like glue.
3:03:59
They like glue and that's what The Jets need.
3:04:01
They need a short thing, a guy that's going to go up there, get
3:04:03
the ball and come. Down Hey Arrow.
3:04:05
You don't need the office. Errol, you're an Eagles fan, so
3:04:08
you'll remember this is my favorite press conference of all
3:04:10
time as an Eagles receiver. He was terrible except for this
3:04:12
one game, Freddie Mitchell, and he gets in front of the camera
3:04:15
with a hat on Fedora and he goes.
3:04:17
I just want to thank these hands for being so great.
3:04:20
I don't think I would ever. Play these press conference
3:04:22
ever. I don't think I'll ever talk to
3:04:24
my hands because if I do it's, it's for something else, if you
3:04:27
know what I mean. That's about it.
3:04:30
That's the only time I'm going to be talking to my hands.
3:04:33
But anything out of that thought I, I when I played hockey,
3:04:36
wasn't like, hey Johnny, hey Will, are we?
3:04:39
Ready to? Play, you know what I mean?
3:04:40
I, I, I wouldn't be doing that. Anyways, When we come back, we
3:04:44
got a lot more left. We had all righty.
3:04:45
Then we got the Knicks. They win game one and it looks
3:04:48
like they're running away with Game 2.
3:04:54
Yeah, Eat your heart out, Celtic fans.
3:04:56
And then what's that smell? But we have another sports
3:04:58
minute with fish. This is a New York sports
3:05:03
loudmouth sports minute. All right, guys, Aaron Fishman
3:05:10
here with Your Sports Minute got a couple more stories than the
3:05:13
scores. Shocking report into ESPN last
3:05:16
Thursday explained charges against a former Alabama
3:05:19
football player who is now facing the charges of, look at
3:05:22
this, identity theft and wire fraud after impersonating NFL
3:05:26
players wearing wigs and using fake IDs.
3:05:30
From May of 2023 to October of 2024, Luther Davis pretended at
3:05:34
different times to be former Brown side and David Njoku,
3:05:37
Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix, junior and Packers and
3:05:40
former Giant safety Xavier McKinney for the purpose of
3:05:43
securing close to $20 million in loans.
3:05:46
Plea hearings are set for April 27th and Davis is expected to
3:05:49
plead guilty. Davis had a partner in this
3:05:51
game, CJ Evans, who is being booked on a separate but related
3:05:54
charge. In total, the two defrauded
3:05:56
lender. The two were able to defraud
3:05:58
lenders for total of $19.8 million, trying to put the three
3:06:03
players on the hook for paying back the loans.
3:06:06
In something out of a movie or prank show like Punk from back
3:06:09
in the day, Davis would dress up in character as one of these
3:06:12
players with fake ID and documents from Evans to
3:06:15
effectively get loans from real financial institutions and
3:06:17
lenders. For the two crooks, they're joy
3:06:19
rides at an end. And for Davis, who played DN for
3:06:22
Alabama from 2007 to 2010 and being part of the national
3:06:25
championship team in 2009, his days of conning lenders are at
3:06:29
an end. But you never know, maybe Davis
3:06:32
can con a stream, remember into making the true life story of
3:06:34
this crazy ordeal, and end up okay after what should be a
3:06:37
lengthy prison sentence. The baseball world has been in
3:06:41
mourning since the news last Friday that retired Angels
3:06:44
outfielder in 2002 World Series champion Garrett Anderson has
3:06:48
passed away at the age of 53 from a heart attack.
3:06:51
Garrett will forever hold a place in the hearts of Angels
3:06:53
fans for his professionalism, class and loyalty throughout his
3:06:56
career and beyond. His admiration and respect for
3:06:58
the game was immeasurable, according to Angels owner Artie
3:07:02
Moreno. We extend our deepest
3:07:04
condolences to Garretts wife Teresa, daughters Brianne and
3:07:06
Bailey, son Garrett, Trey Anderson the 3rd and his entire
3:07:10
family. Anderson was a steady presence
3:07:13
in the Angels lineup for almost a decade and 1/2 and was the
3:07:16
Home Run Derby winner and All Star Game MVP in 2003, one of
3:07:20
only two players in history to do so, the other being Cal
3:07:23
Ripken Junior back in 1991. Anderson retired with a career
3:07:26
293 batting average in 2529 hits, which is most in Angels
3:07:31
history. He also owns the record for most
3:07:34
double s and RBIs in club history.
3:07:36
Tributes for Anderson poured in from across the league and from
3:07:38
former teams David Eckstein and Tim Salmon, who had Hartfield
3:07:41
tributes to their former teammate and leader on social
3:07:44
media. RIP to one of the great unsung
3:07:47
heroes in baseball history and condolences from the New York
3:07:50
sports loudmouth family to the Anderson family guys.

3:09:48
Welcome back to our literary segment.
3:09:51
This is the one where we go through Errol's articles and
3:09:55
listen up to some of the comments from the redditors who
3:09:59
got a chance to read them. If you haven't been following
3:10:00

done by Errol by NR Media himself, Nitin Ramachandra's
3:10:10
group of stable of excellent writers as well as some of our
3:10:14
other writers like John Pagnotta.
3:10:16
Suck my indo. Many others.
3:10:20
Sometimes I get in there too. Let's take a look at a really
3:10:23
cool article Errol wrote last week that we have some comments
3:10:27
on about the greatest arrows in basketball history.
3:10:31
Before we get into the Knicks after this segment as they are
3:10:33
finishing up Game 2 right now in the Garden, let's take a look at
3:10:38
this article from milkman to Max contracts.
3:10:42
How one era grabbed the NBA, shook it by the collar, cashed
3:10:46
every check, took over the world and screamed you're all welcome
3:10:51
while changing basketball forever.
3:10:53
After I read an excerpt from this article, Speedy will read
3:10:56
some of your comments and Errol will react.
3:10:58
If you want to have your comments read on the air, please
3:11:01
follow us on the Reddit pages that we are interacting on
3:11:05
again, New York sports loudmouth NYS sports loudmouth.
3:11:10
So here we go take a look a bunch of great NBA players.
3:11:13
Let's get one thing straight before the basketball
3:11:16
historians, TikTok scouts, and couch GM start throwing advanced
3:11:21
analytics at my forehead like dodgeballs.
3:11:23
You cannot compare eras of NBA basketball like they're Pokémon
3:11:27
cards. You can't look that a grainy
3:11:29
black and white clip of Bill Russell blocking shots in the
3:11:32
5th row and say, yeah, but can he guard a step back three?
3:11:36
And you can't watch Steph Curry pull up from the parking lot and
3:11:39
say, yeah, but could he survive getting clothes line in 1989?
3:11:43
Different eras, different rules, different vibes, different
3:11:47
levels of violence, but what can you, what you can do, Breakdown
3:11:51
each era, respect it, roast it a little because that's what we
3:11:54
do. And then figure out which one
3:11:56
didn't just dominate, but change the entire DNA of the NBA
3:12:01
forever. So here's some of the
3:12:03
categories. Errol has the 1950s, sixties,
3:12:05
tall guys, set shots, and one absolute alien.
3:12:08
The era belonged to two men, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain.
3:12:12
The league had 8 to 14 teams. No 3 point line, talent pool.
3:12:15
Not exactly the same. Let's go on to the next one.
3:12:18
1970s, the forgotten era that low key changed everything.
3:12:22
Moving on to the Magic Bird 1980's The NBA gets his swagger
3:12:26
back, Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird.
3:12:28
This wasn't just basketball, this was cinema.
3:12:32
And then we have the Michael Jordan 1990s and the global
3:12:35
takeover. Michael Jordan didn't just
3:12:38
dominate, he marketed domination.
3:12:41
Let's talk numbers. 6 championships, 6 finals MVPS, 10
3:12:44
scoring titles, career average 30.1 points per game.
3:12:47
And there's this little brand called Air Jordan.
3:12:51
Then we got the Kobe, Shaq and Identity crisis era, the 2010 to
3:12:54
now, the skill era. Everybody's nice and it's
3:12:56
actually ridiculous. Errol, what was your solution?
3:13:00
The greatest era, The best era of talent, surprisingly, and
3:13:05
this was a great article because I didn't see you saying this.
3:13:07
Errol top to bottom is today. Why?
3:13:11
Skill levels, insane global talent pool, advanced training
3:13:15
and analytics. But I know you're going to come
3:13:17
back with this one, the era that changed everything, the 19
3:13:20
Geordie 1990s Michael Jordan era.
3:13:24
Because without that era, no global NBA explosion, no billion
3:13:28
dollar sneaker culture, no player as brand movement, no
3:13:32
social media superstar athletes, Jordan didn't just dominate
3:13:35
defenders, he dominated culture, business, and the planet.
3:13:40
Speedy. All right, I'm going to start
3:13:42
with one of the more unique ones.
3:13:44
This is infatigable prosperity. So he was actually comparing the
3:13:48
sneakers of different eras mainly, but I also mentioned the
3:13:51
nutrition recovery methods, self-care habits, cryotherapies,
3:13:54
etcetera. But the sneakers were what he
3:13:55
was comparison because they weren't a lot of converse Chuck
3:13:58
Taylor in the 70s era and the early 80s that he's like a lot
3:14:01
of the players that are already injury prone today would get
3:14:04
hurt if they. I would agree with him, by the
3:14:06
way. Thank you.
3:14:08
What? Is his name fatigable?
3:14:10
Fatigable, whatever, I'm knock it out.
3:14:13
I would never be able to do that three times.
3:14:15
But I agree with him. I think first of all the
3:14:18
sneakers that we have now, there are more injuries now than we've
3:14:21
ever seen. I've said that that could be
3:14:23
causing the problems right now with the Achilles and the knee
3:14:26
injuries that they have. I, I think he's right about
3:14:29
that. He's coming.
3:14:29
I think the sneaker and and and the transition of sneakers in
3:14:32
the 90s was probably the best, but also the 70s they had
3:14:36
Converse they have, they had all these other brands that were
3:14:40
trying to transition into the 80s and the 90s.
3:14:42
So I'd agree with them. All right, this one's more of a
3:14:43
simple one. Just Master Teacher 123.
3:14:46
The Knick game has never been more talented than it is right
3:14:48
now. I would disagree with him.
3:14:51
I think the talent in the 90s was just as good as the talent
3:14:54
now. I think the athletic gifts that
3:14:55
some of these kids have and and the way the NBA has changed with
3:14:58
the three points and everything like that, it's definitely
3:15:01
different. But I, I think the 90s game was
3:15:04
just so much better than it was what it is right now because of
3:15:08
Michael Jordan, because of some of the calm Malones and the
3:15:11
David Robertson's and and those guys in the Patrick Ewings, I
3:15:14
just thought and Hakeem Olajuwon's that I love to watch
3:15:17
play. All right, we'll go to this one
3:15:19
now. MKK 4.
3:15:21
The 80s era was my favorite as a sports fan.
3:15:23
No unrestricted free agency until 88 and a softer salary cap
3:15:26
that built better overall rosters, which is something
3:15:29
we've heard a lot of. Our guests, our basketball
3:15:30
guests have said that the 80s were the best overall.
3:15:32
Pure era. Interesting because there was a
3:15:35
lot of great players in the 80s. Look at the Celtics.
3:15:37
The dominates the dominant part of the 80s was the Celtics, the
3:15:41
Lakers in early in the 80s and and it just to transition right
3:15:45
into the Detroit Pistons. So I would agree with them the
3:15:48
80s 90s was definitely one of the fun times of basketball, but
3:15:53
once it transitioned in the 90s and the dominance of the Chicago
3:15:56
Bulls, I couldn't stand watching the Chicago Bulls because I'm a
3:15:58
Knick fan but I I still think the 90s was the most dominant.
3:16:02
All right, let's go to this one with more directed at Michael
3:16:04
Jordan. This is Life Familiar 5254 short
3:16:07
and played in the crackhead era. He thinks the 2000s and today's
3:16:10
game have much more talent. Much more talent.
3:16:17
Crackhead era, 2000s today. Gay man.
3:16:20
I would disagree. I figured he would.
3:16:22
I would disagree. I mean Kobe Bryant was great,
3:16:25
LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, those times Team Duncan was at a
3:16:29
high level that Kawhi Leonard came out late, late 2000, I mean
3:16:34
early. I would say 2006, 2007.
3:16:39
I I just disagree. All right, and we'll find, we'll
3:16:42
write it out with this one. It was ironic because the I the
3:16:45
handle name is King James 23 and that he's actually taking shots
3:16:48
at LeBron. Some people just think LeBron is
3:16:50
better than MJ and the world is full of dumb people.
3:16:53
I would agree with you. King James I Michael Jordan is
3:16:59
on a tower of his own. There is no comparison to
3:17:02
Michael Jordan. For anybody to compare LeBron
3:17:05
James to Michael Jordan, it's ridiculous.
3:17:07
There's nobody. Kobe Bryant is not compared to
3:17:10
him. Nobody could be compared to him.
3:17:12
I don't care who comes out of the draft this year and it
3:17:14
becomes a dominant force. Cooper Flag could be the biggest
3:17:17
superstar in the NBA in the future, He's not Michael Jordan.
3:17:21
Michael Jordan is on a tower of his own.
3:17:23
I agree with him. All right.
3:17:27
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all righty.
3:17:29
Then I'm watching this Knick game and it's giving me Ajit
3:17:31
again because the Knicks are slowly letting the Atlanta Hawks
3:17:35
come back into this game because they don't play any defense that
3:17:39
this is just look at them, the passing just it's horrible.
3:17:43
It's horrible by the. Way it's.
3:17:45
Horrible makes me. Sick one day.
3:17:47
One day you'll believe me. Talking about listen.
3:17:50
This is going to be a tough series.
3:17:53
You slept out. We're going to blow.
3:17:56
Tough series. Tough series.
3:17:57
They're going to win. You guys.
3:17:58
They're going to win four games. They're going to win four games
3:18:01
to one. I've already told you that.
3:18:02
Really. What did you say that?
3:18:04
Because they're going to win tonight.
3:18:06
No, no. When did you say so?
3:18:07
We can go back. I said that the Knicks were
3:18:09
going to win four games to 1. I, I said it could go to, it
3:18:11
could go 6, but I think no later than 4 to 1.
3:18:14
I I think the Knicks are going to beat them 4 to 1.
3:18:16
OK. And did that do your job all?
3:18:18
Right, all right. The Knicks won game one on
3:18:21
Saturday, 113 to one O 2 to take a one nothing series lead over
3:18:26
the Hawks. Jalen Bronson led the Knicks
3:18:29
with 28 points and seven assists, with 19 of those points
3:18:33
coming in the first quarter. Carl Anthony Towns also had 25
3:18:37
points, 8 rebounds and four assists, including going 10 for
3:18:41
10 from the free throw line. After the Hawks tied the game
3:18:45
early in the third quarter, the Knicks led the game for the rest
3:18:49
of the way. Despite the Hawks getting it to
3:18:52
within four points on many occasions.
3:18:56
The Knicks pulled away with fourth with four and 4 1/2
3:19:01
minutes left of the fourth quarter with Cat making 33
3:19:06
pointers Transition. So, all right, the first game to
3:19:16
me watching the New York Knicks is the Carl Anthony Towns
3:19:20
disappears. He doesn't.
3:19:22
He didn't play very well in the first half.
3:19:25
He had two fouls. He had 4/4 giveaways.
3:19:30
He didn't play at a high level. The second-half he started to
3:19:33
take over. They started to get feed him the
3:19:35
ball. He was becoming the number one
3:19:37
option when he disappears and it's Jalen Brunson isolation.
3:19:42
This is where this team does not play at a high level.
3:19:45
You need to get Karl Anthony Towns more involved in the game.
3:19:48
If they're going to win the NBA championship this year, Karl
3:19:52
Anthony Towns needs to be, he needs to be Robin.
3:19:56
If, if Jalen Bronson is Batman, he needs to be everything.
3:20:00
And I honestly think they need 2 Batman's.
3:20:03
They need Karl Anthony Towns giving you 25 to 27 points, give
3:20:06
you 12 rebounds, be dominant and play defense.
3:20:09
By the way, Karl Anthony Towns played his best defensive game
3:20:12
all season long in game #1 if he plays like that, the Knicks are
3:20:16
going to be very, very hard to beat.
3:20:18
They just are. Because when Carl actually puts
3:20:22
the time into seeing the picks and and the defensive picks in
3:20:26
the transitions and understanding where he needs to
3:20:28
be and where he needs to to put himself in front of his
3:20:33
offensive defense when he's defending the offensive options.
3:20:36
I think that Karl Anthony Towns, if he plays like that, I think
3:20:40
he could be so important to this team's run all the way to the
3:20:43
NBA Finals. The secret to the Knicks success
3:20:47
this year, if they're going to win a championship, it's Karl
3:20:51
Anthony Thomas. It's not even an argument.
3:20:54
Everybody says, well, Jalen Bronson, he scores 3040 points.
3:20:56
We saw when Jalen Bronson scores 40 points, they don't always
3:21:00
win. They don't.
3:21:02
You need that other option. You need the guy to not
3:21:05
disappear. In the first half of of the of
3:21:09
the first game, he disappeared. He he didn't do anything.
3:21:12
He took over the second-half. Jalen Bronson cannot disappear
3:21:15
the way he did in the second-half and in the second
3:21:19
quarter. He didn't score any points.
3:21:20
Scored 19 in the first first quarter and no points in the
3:21:23
second quarter. And he finally scored his first
3:21:26
points, I think with three minutes into the third quarter.
3:21:30
You need more from Jalen Brunson.
3:21:31
He needs to give you 30 points a game.
3:21:34
When they start to compete against these elite teams,
3:21:36
especially the teams like the Celtics, the Cavaliers, we don't
3:21:41
even know if Detroit's going to get out of that round.
3:21:42
We'll see. I I do believe the Magic has
3:21:45
played them hard and I think they have a tremendous size.
3:21:48
So the Magic could be very dangerous in that series against
3:21:51
Detroit, who don't look like the same team they were in the first
3:21:54
half of the NBA season. But the Hawks are a dangerous
3:21:59
team because if CJ McCollum is going to give you those points
3:22:04
and you're going to get Johnson to give you 30 points every
3:22:06
single game, you're going to be in every single game.
3:22:09
The Knicks are going to give you a chance to be in every single
3:22:11
game. And that's because the Knicks at
3:22:14
some points, don't play that tumultuous.
3:22:17
What is it tumultuous? Yeah, tumultuous defense that
3:22:21
we've seen them play in the fourth quarter in game number
3:22:24
one. They sometimes just
3:22:26
lackadaisical. They let these teams get back
3:22:28
into the game when when the Celtics want to put the foot on
3:22:32
the pedal, they put the foot on the pedal.
3:22:34
The problem with the Knicks, and I'll say this all the time about
3:22:37
the Knicks, they never put the pedal to the metal.
3:22:40
They never do. They let these teams get back
3:22:42
into the game and and crawl and crawl and crawl like they're
3:22:46
doing right now. It's 100 to 94 with 4 1/2
3:22:49
minutes left of the game. They're letting them get back
3:22:51
into the game. This game shouldn't even be
3:22:54
close. They're much better than the
3:22:56
Hawks. They played, they've played all
3:22:58
game better than the Hawks. But the Hawks, they're, they're
3:23:01
a sneaky team. They're like an Ant.
3:23:04
They're an Ant farm. They play that, that, that, that
3:23:07
tremendous defense and they can get back in by rebounding the
3:23:11
ball and transition. They're very fast up and down
3:23:13
the court and they're young and there's a three right there.
3:23:16
So now they cut it down to three points.
3:23:18
So it's typical Knicks right now, typical Knick fashion as
3:23:21
they're letting a team that is nowhere close to the talent that
3:23:24
they are letting them back in the game.
3:23:26
Yeah, You mentioned it in your article last week.
3:23:28
You met this core. You would question like how much
3:23:30
longer it could go for in the same realm.
3:23:32
Because we've seen even with Tom Thibodeau coaching there, that a
3:23:35
lot of their playoff losses came to lower seeds, that the Knicks
3:23:38
were a lot more talented than. When you look at Miami,
3:23:40
especially in 2023, they were an eighth seed and they were
3:23:42
letting back Struce and gave Vincent shoot threes all over
3:23:45
them for a team that was supposed to be very good
3:23:47
defensively and one of the better perimeter defenses in the
3:23:49
league. That team.
3:23:50
Now you've also seen instances where they were compensated.
3:23:53
Sometimes they let the star player play and they'll do
3:23:55
everyone else. That's what happened last year
3:23:56
against the Pistons. They let Kay Cook and they stop
3:23:59
everyone else. But they're also games where
3:24:01
random guys like Tim Hardaway Junior went off.
3:24:02
On them, so they're only up by 1 now.
3:24:04
So that's typical Knicks. And now you're seeing.
3:24:08
That same kind of thing where they're doing a good job.
3:24:10
Well, four run right now. They're doing, they're doing a
3:24:12
pretty good job. Only 15 points with Jaylen
3:24:14
Johnson in this game. He had 23 in game one, but
3:24:16
they're making him take some tougher shots, which is good.
3:24:18
Dyson Daniels has been a non factor offensively, but CG
3:24:21
McCollum has now gone off and now Kamingo's gone off.
3:24:23
Like you have other instances like that.
3:24:25
Just laying these random guys back in the same kind of thing.
3:24:26
Like you said, our old the offense Josh Hart and OG on a
3:24:29
note we both and Mikhail Bridges both had 11 points only. 11
3:24:32
Here's when the Hawks take the lead, by the way.
3:24:34
Yes. Oh boy, don't tell, tell me so.
3:24:38
And in this game you got more balanced scoring but no bench
3:24:40
death, which is supposed to be their prerogatory at the trade
3:24:42
deadline. So yeah, the Knicks are stuck in
3:24:43
our Danny crisis. Qi didn't haven't been losing in
3:24:45
five. I had the Hawks losing in six.
3:24:47
The Knicks be winning. This is definitely.
3:24:50
They cannot lose this game. Yeah, they keep playing this way
3:24:53
for what's supposed to be the the best fourth quarter team as
3:24:56
well in the Eastern Conference. Yeah.
3:24:58
They're top heavy, man. That's the problem with the
3:25:00
nest, that top heavy, they, they only got 2 guys that they really
3:25:03
actually played through. They're hoping that the other
3:25:05
guys step up and hit big shots, whatever.
3:25:08
But they got if CJ had an incredible game Game 1, Johnson
3:25:13
had incredible game game one as well.
3:25:14
I think it was a little slow picking it, picking up the point
3:25:18
spread and whatnot, but at the end of the day, I told you guys
3:25:21
from the beginning of halts is one of those teams.
3:25:23
I definitely still think that, you know, the New York Nets will
3:25:26
put it out, but the Nets are top heavy man.
3:25:28
And the last thing you want to do is go to a Game 6 with the
3:25:32
Orlando horse and then have to face Boston Cessus in the second
3:25:34
round. It's just going to be it's going
3:25:36
to be a recipe for disaster. And I think this is the last
3:25:38
year this is this is all in auto be all.
3:25:41
At the end of the day, if you guys don't win it this year,
3:25:43
they're going to blow up everything, including the front
3:25:45
office. I, I do not, they're going to
3:25:47
blow up the, the front office, but I, I do believe that this is
3:25:51
the last year where you'll see all these players on this
3:25:53
roster. I, I don't think you'll see OG
3:25:55
or Mikhail Bridges on this roster or you'll, you'll see one
3:25:58
of them off this roster because you know they're going to go and
3:26:01
they're going to put all their pigs in the Giannis basket in
3:26:03
the offseason. If they fail to win this year.
3:26:06
I, I think they can win with this team.
3:26:07
This roster is definitely good enough.
3:26:09
It's just they never put the pedal to the metal.
3:26:11
They let these teams come back. It has nothing to do with the
3:26:13
Hawks. It's the Knicks.
3:26:14
They're throwing up threes. They're they're, they're putting
3:26:17
up bad shots. They're some of the stuff.
3:26:20
Go to the hole, let them foul you.
3:26:23
When you say win and what? What do you mean when you say
3:26:26
win? What are you talking about?
3:26:28
Let's what? What are you saying when you
3:26:29
say, when you say the Mets can definitely win this, with this?
3:26:31
They can win the championship this year if they play at a high
3:26:34
level. Yeah, fish.
3:26:34
What you would say? Fish.
3:26:36
I'm saying that. They're shooting right now.
3:26:38
They're shooting like crap and they're chucking threes when
3:26:41
they didn't need to. It's really not great.
3:26:44
You know, game planning here when you have an 8 point lead
3:26:46
for most of the game. They got 9 points in the fourth
3:26:49
quarter. Yep.
3:26:50
They they can't hit the broadside of anything.
3:26:53
Brunson's shooting like 30% tonight.
3:26:55
It just got a lot of offenders to throw at Brunson.
3:26:57
He's tired. He had a long game, Game 1, he
3:27:00
went too hard, he worked too hard to get his points and it's
3:27:03
out of and it's going to eventually catch up.
3:27:05
He's still human, but it looks good as the entertainment and it
3:27:09
feels well, but at the end of the day, he works way too hard
3:27:11
to get the points that he get. You would think, though, if he's
3:27:14
the one that's struggling, someone's got to step up and
3:27:17
that should be Karl Anthony Towns.
3:27:19
And he's just kind of a little too passive in this game right
3:27:22
now. He has the advantage on O Congo.
3:27:24
He's got power and size over a Congo and like he doesn't have
3:27:28
to worry about O Congo blowing by him.
3:27:29
He's not that kind of an offensive player.
3:27:31
He should really be dominating this matchup and he is not they.
3:27:34
Just took the lead by the. Congo they don't want to bang.
3:27:37
Congo is a good defender, but he's a leaner big man, so he
3:27:40
would think, yeah. He don't want to bang.
3:27:42
It's all you got to do from the game plan is get Karl Anthony
3:27:45
times outside, make it, let him Chuck up the threes and you can
3:27:49
live with that. And where Jenny burns it down,
3:27:52
that's been the issue the whole time they have it.
3:27:54
The other third and fourth option is inconsistent with with
3:27:57
hitting shots, and so that's what you're left with.
3:28:00
I just, I'm watching this team right now, just completely choke
3:28:04
and you. Can't go to SIS, Eric, you can't
3:28:06
go to SIS. If they lose this game, this is
3:28:09
this is no, it's not over. It's it, it, it, it scares you
3:28:13
because they're going back to Atlanta and Atlanta plays very
3:28:16
well at home and it, it could, they'll win at least one game
3:28:21
and Atlanta will go 6. It, it just it's starting, it's
3:28:24
starting to make me think that this is this is not the team
3:28:28
that's going to win a championship.
3:28:29
You cannot let this young team get confident and and play like
3:28:33
this. You're a better team than them.
3:28:34
You you played the whole game. You've been pretty much in the
3:28:38
lead the whole game. They had a little bit of a lead
3:28:41
in it and they they can't hit free throws either.
3:28:44
They can't hit free throws either.
3:28:45
He. They're tired.
3:28:46
Missing foul shots, It's bad right now.
3:28:49
They're tired, they work too hard to get points and that's
3:28:53
the problem. That's just what it is.
3:28:56
They don't have a secure third or fourth person that can step
3:29:00
up and actually hit the shots. So let me give you some of the
3:29:03
lines of the box scores right now.
3:29:06
OG's got 14 and eight on four of 10 shooting.
3:29:10
Town's shooting well, eight of 12/18 and eight, But I'd like to
3:29:14
see him take more shots. Josh Hart's got the same amount
3:29:17
of shots as Karl Anthony Towns. That doesn't make sense.
3:29:19
He's 5 of 1115 points, 12 rebounds.
3:29:23
But Colum is killing them. McCollum is killing him.
3:29:25
Mccollum's great player and offense, but Bridges.
3:29:29
Here's the problem. Mikhail Bridges, who they spent
3:29:31
five first round picks on has is three of nine with 10 points.
3:29:36
Five. It was five points, but one
3:29:38
rebound, 2 assists. He's not doing a whole lot of
3:29:41
anything. And that's a problem and they
3:29:44
can't get past it. Even if they blow this one,
3:29:46
they're still going to win this series.
3:29:48
But you're right, Q, this is not a good sign going forwards if
3:29:51
they can't handle a team that really doesn't have much in the
3:29:54
terms of a point guard. I'd say Mccollum's more of like
3:29:56
a shooting guard. You know, he was not the primary
3:29:59
ball handler when he was with Dame Time, you know what I mean?
3:30:01
Like back in the day. So I, I just don't really, I, I,
3:30:05
I think that they should be able to force them to a lot of
3:30:08
turnovers in transition like they did in game one.
3:30:10
I thought they killed them, especially Hart killed them in
3:30:12
game one. Looks like Hart's still doing
3:30:14
it, but Mchale's disappeared and they're going to need him to
3:30:17
show up against the better teams even if they pull this one out.
3:30:21
Heart is hustle. He's a he's a defensive guy.
3:30:23
He's not. You can't rely on him to go out
3:30:26
and get you any buckets. You'll be happy if you can, but
3:30:28
he's not the guy that you rely on to get buckets.
3:30:31
So I would say yeah, he's you guys.
3:30:33
He just 0105103. It's been ugly man.
3:30:37
It's get scary out here. You wonder too, like Fish you
3:30:40
were talking about a few weeks ago with the Josh Hart playing
3:30:42
center reps and trying to be a Draymond Green type world.
3:30:45
So I wonder how many times they would have done that in the
3:30:47
first half. They were might deter the
3:30:49
offense where Q. You're right, he's probably
3:30:50
better off being a facilitator on the wing or facilitator to
3:30:55
give Brunson some reps against it so they don't get worn down.
3:30:58
What the hell, man? One O 7, one O 3, guys, they're
3:31:02
going. To lose this game.
3:31:05
Might be those that one one series and this is the big up
3:31:08
time. Yeah.
3:31:09
And this is what I'm talking about when you talk about going
3:31:11
up against a team that's well equipped and putting people away
3:31:14
like Boston, like this, this type of game and effort that you
3:31:17
can't have going into the second round.
3:31:20
Yeah, well, I, I this, this is this is a terrible loss by the
3:31:23
next. You're not winning any games.
3:31:25
You scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, Errol.
3:31:27
That's crazy, crazy. You're not, you're you can't,
3:31:31
you can't go. You let this young team get
3:31:33
confidence and you're now you got to go back to Atlanta and a
3:31:37
team that's going to just build on this confidence.
3:31:39
This is not good for the Knicks. Atlanta going to be on fire too.
3:31:42
I might go to that it. Just makes me sick to my
3:31:44
stomach. The Knick, I'll tell you this, I
3:31:46
don't want to hear any Knick fan on their podcast tell me, oh,
3:31:50
we're going to run away with this.
3:31:51
We're going to run away. I I knew that the Knicks are
3:31:53
going to, they should win this series, but to be embarrassed
3:31:56
like this, you went up the whole game, the whole game and you let
3:32:01
this team come back and let CJ McCollum score 32 on you old man
3:32:06
CJ McCollum. It's embarrassing.
3:32:09
That's it's not Jaylen Johnson, it's CJ McCollum.
3:32:12
They're actually containing Johnson pretty well.
3:32:13
They made him take some touch shots.
3:32:15
Now it's 17 points, but for a while he was at 10 and he would
3:32:19
they were. He was shooting under 45%.
3:32:23
It's the garden, man. The garden effect.
3:32:25
When you playing in the garden, you just play out your mind,
3:32:27
man. You guys, you guys should know
3:32:29
that by now. The garden effect, man.
3:32:34
You, you really like to piss people off, don't you?
3:32:37
You just really like to piss people off.
3:32:40
You really? Do I just, you know, I try to
3:32:41
tell. You, you can tell me whatever
3:32:43
you want. You're a Celtic fan.
3:32:46
I'm going to tell you this right now.
3:32:47
The Celtics better hope that the Hawks win this series because
3:32:49
they don't want to play the Knicks.
3:32:51
Because. Play without beating.
3:32:52
Well, yeah, the B team. Go look at the Celtics record
3:32:56
against the Knicks this year. Go look at the Celtics record.
3:32:58
Yeah, go look at their record against the.
3:33:00
Knicks, we're not impressed with you guys.
3:33:01
We've never played you guys for. Well, it's not over, baby.
3:33:04
Not over yet it. Ain't over yet, but it's.
3:33:06
Over 1.1 point. It's over, Yeah.
3:33:09
It's over. Trust me, it's over.
3:33:12
And the Knicks still have a time out, yeah.
3:33:14
They're better. It's not over.
3:33:15
OK, it's over. You have a better chance of
3:33:19
Sonny being Ray Lewis winning this game today.
3:33:23
Hey, watch out. Jalen Brunson's magic, Sonny.
3:33:27
Watch out. Sonny.
3:33:28
I got it. I got it.
3:33:30
He probably won't. He could probably try and.
3:33:32
That was 7 heights, 7 inches of heights.
3:33:34
That was actually funny. That was actually funny.
3:33:36
That was 1 funny thing you actually said to.
3:33:38
Him appreciate you. That was funny.
3:33:39
Yeah, homeboy. That was funny.
3:33:41
I like that Sonny being Ray Lewis.
3:33:46
Sonny Lewis. Or Jacob Rodriguez being Brian
3:33:50
Urlacher. He said just in his ability to
3:33:53
cover, that's all I'm saying. Every post is going to tell you
3:33:57
a part of the Internet tomorrow. Let him, let him.
3:34:02
That's pretty fun. That's what this segment's
3:34:03
about, right? Making those kind of
3:34:05
predictions. That's a that's a crazy
3:34:06
predicament, you know, a prediction predicament,
3:34:09
whatever. Is that the craziest one I've
3:34:11
said you think? By far.
3:34:13
I've heard you say crazier things, but really, yeah, I've,
3:34:17
he said some crazy things. I mean, especially about the
3:34:20
Giants. I mean, he, he said that Mike
3:34:22
Evans going to the Giants, that makes a lot of sense.
3:34:24
And he was never going to the Giants.
3:34:26
He was never going. Everybody's going to the Giants
3:34:28
with fish. Everybody.
3:34:30
Dude, I, I got to tell you right now, if, if there could be a
3:34:35
supermodel could play in, in, in a New York Giants uniform, he
3:34:39
would say, oh, she, she'll be a New York Giants or forget.
3:34:42
Forget that Nathan would convert his Cowboys fan or become a
3:34:45
Giants fan of that happens. Or can she block?
3:34:48
I love Lisa Ann. Or Lisa Ann.
3:34:50
She could play for the New York Giants.
3:34:52
Hey, if she could block, she could play for me.
3:34:53
Tickets if that was the. Case my pinky is bigger than
3:34:56
yours. Doo Doo Fish is not a panty
3:34:59
dropper. Well, not after that take
3:35:01
anyways. We call this.
3:35:02
What's that smell? Hold up, what is that smell?
3:35:06
What's that? Smell.
3:35:12
Wow, you don't see that every day.
3:35:15
All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's pretty simple.
3:35:18
We'll watch the Knicks lose this game, but it's pretty simple
3:35:22
what we're going to do. We're going to go in around in a
3:35:23
circle and we're going to tell you a story.
3:35:26
We're going to tell you what it smells like tonight.
3:35:28
Fish, Speedy, Q me. Here we go.
3:35:32
All right, so we'll start off. What's that smell with just one
3:35:36
of the greats, Lavar Ball? Oh my goodness, if you did not
3:35:42
see this, he got on front of a camera in a podcast.
3:35:45
He urged the Charlotte Hornets to pick up his sons, Lonzo and
3:35:50
Jello, and bring all three balls to Charlotte.
3:35:56
If you want to go to the playoffs, 3 balls are better
3:35:59
than one. I'm trying to explain to you
3:36:02
all. I have to keep telling you, if
3:36:04
you want to go far, you got to get all the ball boys.
3:36:08
The chemistry and the speed of the game is unmatched.
3:36:11
You've got to be a heck of a coach.
3:36:13
How? Do you give, how do you give
3:36:15
Mikkel Bridges that shot? He missed both both his foul
3:36:18
shots and they let Mikkel Bridges shoot that shot Mikkel.
3:36:21
Bridges is worth 5 first round picks.
3:36:23
It was OG that missed the shots, not Mikkel.
3:36:25
It was Mikkel. Well, I'm sure Mikkel missed
3:36:27
this last one. Let's get into.
3:36:30
We don't need to fight about it because they're still going to
3:36:32
win the series. But whatever look, he's a
3:36:34
killer. You know what I do with a
3:36:35
killer? You leave them until the end.
3:36:37
You don't take them out. Them suckers hit zero and let it
3:36:39
be known he's still trying to win.
3:36:40
He could be down 40, down 50. It don't matter.
3:36:43
It takes vision, risk. Trust me to be a champion and
3:36:46
you better believe in your players, man, blah, blah, blah,
3:36:49
blah, blah. This guy is out of his freaking
3:36:51
mind. All three of the balls.
3:36:53
One of them is the guy that came up with the six seven thing that
3:36:56
just doesn't go away. Jealous Ball with his not great
3:37:00
rap song that people kept playing for a while.
3:37:03
My goodness, what is all this smell like?
3:37:06
It smells like a bunch of big baller brand bullshit.
3:37:12
All right, I'll go to some college football here.
3:37:14
So Alabama football general manager Courtney Morgan was
3:37:19
mentioning 2 things about NIL, complaining about NIL and
3:37:22
Alabama. So first one is a kid that comes
3:37:25
in making close to $1 million. Where does it go from there?
3:37:27
Basically saying he wants a freshman cap for NIL for one
3:37:30
thing. And the second thing is he was
3:37:32
taking shots. Oh, in today's NIL era, A-Team
3:37:36
could just spend $40 million and win a championship.
3:37:39
And Kurt Cignetti, I went on a show in response to that say
3:37:44
there's most definite case we did not spend $40 million this
3:37:47
year. Yes, And Kurt is right, Indiana
3:37:49
football spent four point $14.7 million in IL money.
3:37:53
Alabama actually was actually lower on the list than they
3:37:55
usually are. They spent $15.7 million.
3:37:57
But the main thing is there were only one team that won their
3:38:01
conference and that was Texas Tech that was in the top ten in
3:38:05
spending for NIL this season. So clearly this guy has no idea
3:38:08
what he's talking about, at least for the 2025 season.
3:38:10
So what does that smell like? It smells like a Crimson Tide of
3:38:14
elephant blood coming down on him.
3:38:19
Elephant blood. No, their mascot's an elephant,
3:38:21
essentially. By the way, this is the part I
3:38:26
forgot to mention because. They lost 38 to 3.
3:38:28
Because they lost 38 to 3 to Indiana.
3:38:29
So I'll say 35 foot wave of Crimson Tide.
3:38:34
Dodger. We got to get Crimson Tide of
3:38:37
Elephant Blood, so I'll pick for this show.
3:38:40
Java like my shrimp cocktail it. Has to be it.
3:38:46
I'm at a lawsuit. I have a lot of options tonight,
3:38:48
but I'll narrow it down to one I'm gonna go and swing it into
3:38:53
the podcast area. New York sports loudmouth One of
3:38:58
the Co hosts, Fish made a perdition like that Sonny Styles
3:39:00
will be equivalent to Ray Lewis and his upcoming NFL debut
3:39:07
season. I would just like to say that
3:39:09
this kid, this man is out of his mind.
3:39:12
When I say out of his mind, out of his mind.
3:39:14
I couldn't believe the take. Totally unbelievable.
3:39:18
Make sure you catch the New York Sports Live my show each and
3:39:21
every day, Monday and Thursday 7:00 PM.
3:39:23
But this guy said the most ridiculous, craziest thing the
3:39:27
Internet has ever heard as of today on Monday, April 20th,
3:39:32
2026. What it smells like a bunch of
3:39:36
New York. He tasted giant Big Blue
3:39:40
elephant blood. As long as she's using.
3:39:42
Dude, black and taking care of my 200 toilet.
3:39:47
Whole public area slime. Oh yeah.
3:39:52
I got the bubble. Gum.
3:39:52
That was a good one. Q Don't worry, we have archives
3:39:55
of some crazier ones, too. Errol's friend has the greatest
3:39:57
one of all time when he said Ezekiel Elliott could run on the
3:40:00
same offensive line that Barry Sanders played with.
3:40:02
That's that's ridiculous. That's still number one of all
3:40:04
his own. Father told him he was
3:40:06
ridiculous when he. Said look by.
3:40:08
The way I'll do the squirrel dance every time Sonny makes a
3:40:11
play all season, I'll just do it just like Ray Lewis.
3:40:14
That's I'm just. Squirrel dance.
3:40:15
It's like when you do you want to eat his balls or something.
3:40:18
No, the famous squirrel dance that he did when he came out of
3:40:20
the the gate give. Me some of that.
3:40:22
Give me some of that now. Anyways, my final what's that
3:40:27
smell goes to Congratulations to Victor Webanyama for winning the
3:40:32
NBA Defensive Player of the Year unanimously.
3:40:35
But here's my problem and why I don't It doesn't make any sense.
3:40:39
If you look at the list of guys for defensive player of the
3:40:41
year, they had Victor as the number one, Shet Holmgrim as the
3:40:46
number two. He had 76 second place votes and
3:40:49
11 third place. Then Thompson 9 to 33, Rudy
3:40:54
Gobert 4 to 29. These all second place votes.
3:40:57
He got all 101st place votes. Victor Webinama hold on.
3:41:01
Scotty Barnes 3 for 1233 second and 12 third.
3:41:06
Derek White 22 for two for 2nd and 3rd.
3:41:12
Thompson 2 and 0. Hold on.
3:41:15
Dyson Daniels wanted to OG and Anobi One second place vote and
3:41:20
one third place vote. No first place votes.
3:41:23
This guy was the best perimeter defender in the NBA all season
3:41:29
and he had none. He he was like the eighth or
3:41:32
ninth guy on this list. It makes no sense.
3:41:35
It just tells you how dumb the NBA is when it comes to voting.
3:41:39
This made no sense. No sense, and I'm not saying
3:41:42
this because I'm a Knick fan. It doesn't make any sense.
3:41:44
Chet Holmgrim was not a better defender than OG and Anobi this
3:41:48
year either was Thompson, either was Rudy Gobert, Barnes, White,
3:41:52
Thompson, Daniels. None of these guys were better
3:41:55
than OG. The only one was webbing Yama
3:41:58
and he should have the second place vote.
3:42:00
Chad Holmgren. Chad Holmgren.
3:42:03
It makes no sense. Holmgren is a he's a decent
3:42:06
defensive player. He is he's decent.
3:42:08
He's more of an offensive option.
3:42:10
Makes no sense. You know what it smells like?
3:42:13
It smells like the the dump that I was laying out at that movie
3:42:17
at that movie theater yesterday. Going to see the movie The Beast
3:42:19
and I'm going to tell you it smelt really, really bad.
3:42:22
So yeah, I, I, I, I did not get that.
3:42:26
I don't get this voting how the NBA can actually.
3:42:29
And, and again, I congratulations to Victor
3:42:32
Webanyama. He deserves to be defensive play
3:42:35
of the year. He had like 3 1/2 blocks a game.
3:42:38
I mean, it's ridiculous. He's also 7 foot 47 foot 5.
3:42:42
The guy's a beast. So you know what he's supposed
3:42:44
to. Do but OG Ananobi was the best
3:42:47
perimeter defender in all of the NBA.
3:42:50
All of the NBA like shut down defender.
3:42:53
You look at the analytics, it would sell you that he was the
3:42:57
second best defender in all of the NBA. 02 days you refer to
3:43:01
analytics, which is not your thing, OK?
3:43:04
No, it's not. No, it's not.
3:43:06
So just I just want to make a note.
3:43:08
No, but I don't look at those pre.
3:43:10
Go back and forth and I just want to make sure we we notify
3:43:13
each other when you go back on your worst.
3:43:16
This makes my Packer hard. Shit just made the defensive
3:43:18
stop highlight for in the playoffs.
3:43:20
What do you mean he's the best? He's not.
3:43:21
He don't deserve the 2nd place vote.
3:43:24
He was not, if you're going to tell.
3:43:26
Me, I take shit over OG. You're out of your mind.
3:43:29
It just shows you. It just shows you that.
3:43:30
You know who did OG shut down? That you're you're you're
3:43:33
referring to. He shut down Jaylen Brown a
3:43:36
couple times this year. He's going to shut down Jason
3:43:38
Tatum next. Round 30 that game.
3:43:41
He shut down Jaylen Brown in a couple games.
3:43:43
What did he have 30 that game? No, he didn't have 30 in the
3:43:45
game. 27 No. No 27, he shut him down.
3:43:49
I think he had 19 in one of the games that OG and Nanobi was
3:43:52
taking him. Dude you you you really don't
3:43:54
watch OG and Nanobi in the way he defends.
3:43:57
I really don't. He just lost the night.
3:43:59
I don't. I don't really watch too many
3:44:00
losers. You're not.
3:44:01
You're not going to win every game, dude.
3:44:03
You're just not. You're just not you.
3:44:05
Should've warned that when you was up the whole game all.
3:44:07
Right, you're right. I think the Knicks choked and I
3:44:09
think they're going to have to come out strong in game #2 game
3:44:12
#3 and and game #4. I wouldn't even let them win any
3:44:15
of those games in Atlanta and go back to New York and finish them
3:44:18
because I just don't give them any confidence to to keep them
3:44:21
in the series because the longer this series goes, the more
3:44:24
confident they're going to get as a.
3:44:26
Young, confident. They just stole one.
3:44:27
You stole a game. That's more than.
3:44:30
A bad loss, man, it is. It's a bad loss.
3:44:32
But look, you know, I wanted this is a team that's responded
3:44:35
all year. They they, they've constantly
3:44:37
respond. Maybe they need this to wake
3:44:39
them to F up because this wasn't good enough tonight, you know?
3:44:41
Yeah. Shot by 50.
3:44:45
I'm I'm tired, I'm tired of this.
3:44:47
I'm listening to this guy all show with this garbage.
3:44:50
I listen to. I'm listening to, you know.
3:44:53
Fish's. Crazy takes with trying to
3:44:56
compare styles to Ray Lewis and Rodriguez to.
3:45:01
Generational. Urlacher.
3:45:03
Those those shoes that you were that Albert was going to send
3:45:06
you, they look really. He's going to send it though.
3:45:09
I can't wait to. Load.
3:45:12
Once he grow up, it's going to be a different.
3:45:14
Earl, shut up. I'm 510 and I'm 510 and a
3:45:17
quarter, by the way. No way.
3:45:19
Yes, I am. Yes, I am.
3:45:21
I'm 100%, a hundred percent 510 and a quarter 100.
3:45:24
Percent. What if it was really an eighth?
3:45:27
What if you were 5-10 and an eighth?
3:45:28
Would you be like really pissed off if you shrunk like an eighth
3:45:31
and an inch? First of all.
3:45:32
I dude the girlfriend is taller than him.
3:45:34
In your 40s, you shrink. Britney's taller than.
3:45:36
Him no she. No she, no you.
3:45:38
Pretty short what? Are we talking about Britney's
3:45:40
up to my freaking pelvis, man? I mean, get the hell out of
3:45:44
here. What are you trying to do here?
3:45:47
You're trying to shut up. Q Anyways, Jesus.
3:45:54
I'm told it's speedy. All right?
3:45:57
So yeah, I am. I'm told it's speedy.
3:45:59
He thinks that's impressive. Speedy's 5.
3:46:03
Speedy's still ain't hit his. First night, right?
3:46:04
58 like 8 1/2. Yeah, Speedy's still got to hit
3:46:07
his ghost spray though, so you already matched that.
3:46:10
I hit that already. I had to take a shit.
3:46:12
No, I just grew up. I got to take a shit.
3:46:14
OK, so I've been standing up for 4 1/2.
3:46:18
Hours man, good job. You remind us every show that
3:46:21

Jamie Lee, Kevin, all the guys, even Jeff who is a real pain in
3:47:49
the ass tonight. That's our Knicks fan, Jeff.
3:47:52
He's not. He's a Celtic fan anyways.
3:47:55
Hey, yeah. But he claims he's a Knicks fan
3:47:58
since 2023. He might have 3.
3:48:00
Nuts and Errol claims he's a Jets fan but loves Philadelphia
3:48:03
Eagles. It happens.
3:48:05
To the I like Philadelphia I. Don't want to know why I don't I
3:48:09
really. Don't Donovan McNabb.
3:48:10
That's why I. He loves how Donovan McNabb got
3:48:14
brought down by OCU Minora 6 times in that one.
3:48:17
He tastes himself. No, that's not a huge fan.
3:48:20
Anyway, I never ever played in 20 years.
3:48:22
Yeah, he's. Still my he's.
3:48:23
Still a. Dude, I followed him his whole
3:48:25
career. Even when he played up in
3:48:27
Syracuse. I loved him.
3:48:29
He was my favorite player. I watched him play high school
3:48:31
ball. He was always as a kid, I always
3:48:34
loved him. So when he went to the Eagles, I
3:48:37
rooted for him. So and I stuck by it.
3:48:39
The The Jets have always been a bad organization, a bad team.
3:48:42
But I'm I'm a Jet fan. Yeah, they have two. 1009 we
3:48:46
went to the ABC Championship. Sorry, we're going to mention
3:48:50
times that were good and and they failed.
3:48:52
To get on a little drought, we're going to rebuild the page,
3:48:54
but we'll see the playoffs. They've never seen the promised
3:48:57
land in any of those years, so I.
3:48:59
You can we went to the promised land in the 601960 but. 1969
3:49:03
they could have done that. Aaron Klein wasn't born yet.
3:49:05
Made my nipples. Hard.
3:49:07
Anyways, that that's about it. I wasn't even alive to make my
3:49:10
nipples hard. Anyways.
3:49:12
Anyways, that's it for our show, ladies and gentlemen.
3:49:15
I got to go. I got to take a dump.
3:49:17
I got to go. My gosh, please got to go.
