- 0:05In an instant classic, EU Conn Huskies advanced at a Final
- 0:09Four, defeating the overall #1 seeded Duke 7372 on a three
- 0:14pointer by UConn freshman Braylon Mullins with .4 seconds
- 0:18remaining from in front of half court.
- 0:21The Huskies, down by as many as 19 and 15 at the half, came
- 0:26storming back after the break to upset the Boozer Brothers and
- 0:29the Blue Devils, who fell in a late collapse for the second
- 0:32straight tournament under head coach John Shire.
- 0:35How historic was this comeback in Miracle Shot and how much
- 0:39blame do the players deserve and how much should fall on Shire's
- 0:43shoulders? And after we recap the rest of
- 0:46March Madness this weekend and crack a six pack with Speedy and

- 3:44all the fans out there. I've been dealing with kidney
- 3:47stones. I've been dealing with other
- 3:49things when it comes to my body. So all weekend long I've been
- 3:54waiting to come on the show and tell everybody because
- 3:57everybody's been reaching out to me on social media and asking me
- 3:59how do I feel what's going on? So I, I, I will tell you this,
- 4:04over the last three weeks, I've been dealing with all these
- 4:08different situations, different bacteria sicknesses, I've been
- 4:12on antibiotics, I've been on everything.
- 4:14So it's crazy that I'm here, but I'm, I'm going to tell you I'll
- 4:18be in and out of the show at some point today because I could
- 4:21be in the bathroom. Just letting you guys know.
- 4:23My stomach isn't doing so well, but I'm here and I'm I'm going
- 4:27to be entertaining you guys as much as I possibly can tonight
- 4:31as long as I'm not thinking about the colonoscopy I'm going
- 4:35to have tomorrow. But anyways, again, we have a
- 4:38great show lined up for you. A little bit later in the show,
- 4:40we will be talking to 2026 NFL draft prospect Kent State.
- 4:45Defensive lineman Jelani Davis will be joining us.
- 4:49Thank you to Nathan. He hooked us up with this kid
- 4:51and he's looked at and projected to be a fifth or sixth round
- 4:56draft pick. So we're very excited to have
- 4:58him on the show. I'd like to hear what he has to
- 5:00say, where he sees himself as an NFL player.
- 5:03Where does he think he's going to go?
- 5:05Some of the interviews and conversations that he's had with
- 5:09certain NFL teams. So very interested to get
- 5:11Delaney on the show and and to see what he thinks his future is
- 5:15as an NFL player. But again, it's been a crazy,
- 5:18crazy weekend. The Elite 8 we're going to get
- 5:21into in just a few moments. March Madness has been superb.
- 5:25I, I, there's nothing to complain about it when it comes
- 5:28to all the things that are going on in sports.
- 5:30The Yankees are playing great baseball.
- 5:32Even the Mets are playing pretty good baseball, even though
- 5:35there's some questions with certain hitters like Beau
- 5:38Bichette, can't hit, can't hit a lick and strikes out every
- 5:41single time. So and the Mets are booing him
- 5:44after the third game of the season.
- 5:45So questions with the New York Mets and where they're heading,
- 5:49even though they're playing decent baseball.
- 5:50I think they're doing one right now.
- 5:52So and the Yankees right now are leading the American League East
- 5:55and we'll get into that a little bit later in the show.
- 5:57But it's great for New York sports.
- 6:00Hockey and the playoffs are around the corner.
- 6:02The Islanders could sneak into the players.
- 6:04The Buffalo Sabres could win Eastern Conference.
- 6:07They're one of the hottest teams in hockey, so a lot.
- 6:10And then the Knicks. The Knicks are up and down
- 6:12against OKC. They don't look too good, but
- 6:15this is a Knick team that's looking to flourish in the
- 6:19playoffs this year. The Celtics hit the 50 win mark
- 6:23as Jaylen Brown came out all over social media after a hit.
- 6:26Fifty wins last night, he says this has been an on and off year
- 6:31and we're still we're still winning 50 games.
- 6:33So nobody should be complaining about the Celtics as far as he's
- 6:36concerned. But there's a lot of questions.
- 6:39And Jayson Tatum, if he's going to be healthy all throughout the
- 6:41playoffs and how many minutes is he going to play throughout the
- 6:43playoffs? And do they have enough depth
- 6:46against the elite teams in the East and the Western Conference
- 6:49if they make the Finals to be considered a Finals contender?
- 6:54So a lot to get into. But First things first, we got
- 6:57to get into the UConn and Duke game because that game was
- 7:00incredible. UConn defeated Duke in the Elite
- 7:048 thriller 7372 to advance to their third Final Four
- 7:09appearance in four years. Freshman Braylon Mullins who was
- 7:13zero for four from three until that moment where he hit that 35
- 7:18foot jumper just 0.4 seconds left to win the game for the
- 7:24Huskies. With under 10 seconds left and
- 7:27Duke leading by two, Aiden Boozer committed a Bear turnover
- 7:31directly leading to Mullins game winner.
- 7:34UConn started the game a miserable one for 18 from three,
- 7:39but were four for their last five including Mullins game
- 7:44winner entering the game #1 seeds were a perfect 134 and 0
- 7:50in the NCAA tournament when leading by 15 plus points at
- 7:55halftime. Duke LED 44 to 29.
- 7:58This also marks the the second straight season Duke has been
- 8:02knocked out after holding a massive lead following last
- 8:05year's Final Four collapse against Houston.
- 8:08With the win, UConn advances to face the number three seed
- 8:12Illinois in the Final Four, looking to become the first team
- 8:17since 1970s UCLA dynasty to win three titles in four years.
- 8:23For all the UConn fans, you should be excited.
- 8:28You should be very excited, and there's a lot of reasons why you
- 8:31should be excited, but not because of the three-point shot
- 8:34and what Mullins did at the end of the game.
- 8:36Because this is a freshman kid from Indiana didn't play very
- 8:39well in the elite lead 8 game against Duke.
- 8:42As a matter of fact, he started off very, very slow.
- 8:45He didn't hit a three until the final shot of the game.
- 8:48I'm not going to blame Kaden Boozer because I know everybody
- 8:51all over social media, all the Duke fans are attacking him.
- 8:54He cried when he was interviewed by the media after the game.
- 8:57And you feel for the kid. You really do.
- 9:00You feel for the kid. And Kaden could go back and play
- 9:04one more year with Duke and maybe next year wins the
- 9:07national title. Who does?
- 9:11The fact here is this is the final time we're going to see
- 9:14Cam Boozer in a Duke uniform. And Cam Booster did not hideaway
- 9:21from how he felt after the game. He believed there were
- 9:25championship team Proctor might be going into this year's draft.
- 9:31This is a kid that had a very good Final Four, very good
- 9:34tournament last year, came back to win a national championship
- 9:38with this team, fell short again.
- 9:42And Duke to me was built to win this year.
- 9:47They had enough to win a national championship even with
- 9:51the injuries they had. They belonged.
- 9:55They belong in the Elite 8 and the Final Four.
- 10:00But there were a lot of questions going into this game
- 10:04and really was the battle of the coaches, John Shire versus Danny
- 10:08Hurley. And if I'm going to bet on a
- 10:10coach, I'm going to bet on Danny Hurley because he's done it
- 10:13twice in the last five years. John Shire last year fell short
- 10:21in the Final four against Houston, bombed it with two
- 10:24minutes left up by almost 12 or 13 points, choked the team
- 10:30choked, they couldn't get the ball in.
- 10:33And Houston, who's not an offensive team, was shooting
- 10:37threes all over the court. Just absolutely, I'll play them
- 10:40the last 5-6 minutes of the second-half.
- 10:44And Duke lost and regulation going into this game, could this
- 10:52team keep an early lead and up by 15 after the first half, you
- 10:59would have thought Duke was going to run away with this
- 11:01game. Duke learned, Shire learned from
- 11:04the mistakes that they made last year against a Houston team that
- 11:09everybody believed they were better than Cooper.
- 11:12Flag was on his way to be the number one pick and everybody
- 11:17thought that team last year was good enough to win a
- 11:20championship, to win a national championship.
- 11:23And what did Duke do at the end of the season?
- 11:26They extended John Shire to a five year deal.
- 11:31He's one of the highest paid coaches right now in college
- 11:34basketball. I'm not taking shots at John
- 11:37Shire. This isn't all John Shire's
- 11:39fault, but you call it time out. You know you're up by two, you
- 11:50know you're up by two, and you know the only way that Yukon can
- 11:55win the game is by three. There's there's no way Yukon
- 11:59wins the game unless you throw the ball away.
- 12:02And what I would say to my team when I'm on the sidelines
- 12:05because you called your final time out is boys hold on to the
- 12:10ball, get the ball, get it across the court, hold on to the
- 12:13ball, let them foul you. You win the game.
- 12:17There is no way UConn wins the game because then you're putting
- 12:21somebody on the line. He's shooting 2.
- 12:23He's probably hit one of them and that's a four.
- 12:25That's that's more than enough in my eyes that they're going to
- 12:28be chucking up a three. There's no way they're getting
- 12:30the ball in with 0.3 seconds and scoring a three-point.
- 12:34I just, I can't see it. But you gave Mullins and UConn 4
- 12:421/2 seconds to set up and get that shot off.
- 12:47And that in college basketball is an eternity.
- 12:51It's an eternity. And I don't know if I believe
- 12:56Danny Hurley believed that that was, it was even possible for
- 13:00UConn to come back after what we have seen throughout this game.
- 13:05But UConn fought and they fought and they fought and they fought
- 13:10right back into the game. And there wasn't like when, when
- 13:15you look at the team and you look at the comparable pieces
- 13:18that UConn had going into this game, nothing really stuck out.
- 13:22Nobody besides Reed had a good game for UConn.
- 13:28Ball didn't have a good game. Demari didn't have a good game.
- 13:34Caravan didn't have a good game. None of them had good games
- 13:39except Reed. Reed had 26 points and 9
- 13:43rebounds, so they even their bench.
- 13:47If you look at Uconn's bench, nobody.
- 13:50Besides, how do you pronounce his name?
- 13:52Rebe? He's the only one that scored
- 13:55two points. Oh, I'm sorry, Smith did too.
- 13:57Smith had nine points, so they had two guys on their whole
- 14:00bench that scored. That's it.
- 14:06And it when you usually see something like this and Yukon's
- 14:09known to use their bench, Danny Hurley is known to use everybody
- 14:13on his bench, but he stuck with his his top five and he believed
- 14:19in these guys, obviously believed in these guys.
- 14:21And when you look at it, and Pitino said it best, when you
- 14:25trust a player, it doesn't matter if they're O for 9, O for
- 14:2910, you're going to trust the ball in that guy's hands.
- 14:34And I don't know if it was drawn up or it was even thought of
- 14:37when the time out came around. If they steal, if we steal the
- 14:40ball, put it in Mullins hands. I don't know if Danny Hurley
- 14:43planned that, but boy, oh boy, did he look smart.
- 14:51And Danny Hurley was jumping on the sidelines when Mullins hit
- 14:54that three and as as well as he should, because I don't know if
- 14:58he really believed that it was possible for them to come back
- 15:02the way they were playing in the first half.
- 15:05They played horribly. There was nothing that stood out
- 15:08to me when it came to the Duke Blue Devils that they were going
- 15:11to lose that game. Nothing.
- 15:15And Boozer had a sensational game.
- 15:18Boozer played 38 minutes, 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists.
- 15:24He had two blocks. He had his best game on the
- 15:27tournament. You want your superstar to stand
- 15:32out in the biggest games. Cooper flag in the final
- 15:35four-game besides the elite, the elite Gay 8 game, he looked the
- 15:39best. But even in the final four-game,
- 15:41he played well. You want your superstar player
- 15:46to stand out and Katie Booster had the second best game for the
- 15:51Duke Blue Devils. He had 15 points.
- 15:54He probably had his best game in the tournament, but I believe he
- 16:00was too confident and he rushed the pass.
- 16:04He wasn't looking around. There were other guys around him
- 16:06that he could have gotten the ball to.
- 16:08All he had to, honestly, all he had to do was move the ball
- 16:11across the half court line and they win the game and he was
- 16:15right there. He's like 5 feet away from that.
- 16:18Why are you throwing the ball away?
- 16:20Why are you forcing the ball in places that you aren't
- 16:22comfortable doing? And that has something to do
- 16:27with coaching. If you want to blame some things
- 16:31on Shire, that was the thing you blame.
- 16:34Because when you call a time out, you had your final time
- 16:37out, you're telling your point guard who's on the court, make
- 16:41sure, make sure you get the ball across the line.
- 16:45Don't force the ball. Don't put yourself in harm's way
- 16:48where you're giving them 4 to 5 seconds to get that ball off.
- 16:51Because at any given day, one of those guys shoot at three, he
- 16:56can go in. We've seen it.
- 16:57March Madness is the craziest thing.
- 16:59We've seen how many crazy things.
- 17:01Illinois did it, Iowa did it. There are other teams throughout
- 17:08the tournament that hit unbelievable shots at the tail
- 17:12in the game. Either take it overtime or win
- 17:13the game. This always happens.
- 17:17That's what's so fantastic to watch.
- 17:19When you watch March Madness, you're excited because you don't
- 17:22know what to expect. A one could be the 16.
- 17:26A2 can lose against a 13. We've seen this before, and it's
- 17:34not like Uconn's a bad team. They were number two seed.
- 17:39Duke had to know that. Danny Hurley, For all the
- 17:44mysterious, crazy things that we've seen Danny Hurley do on
- 17:48and off the court, he had his team ready for this game.
- 17:53He had his team ready to commit if they fell behind in this game
- 17:59to push forward. And that's, that's to me, the
- 18:02value of a champion. The one thing you could say
- 18:06about a champion is you never say die.
- 18:10Everybody attacks the New England Patriots years and years
- 18:14ago against Atlanta. They were down by what was it,
- 18:1825? 28 to 3, Yep, 25 points.
- 18:20It was, I think halfway through the third quarter. 25 points
- 18:24going into practically the fourth quarter, they were up.
- 18:27Atlanta was up 3 touchdowns. The chances of the Patriots
- 18:32coming back in that game was like 99.1%.
- 18:38There was no chance in hell for the Patriots to come back in
- 18:42that game and a lot of crazy things happened.
- 18:46Atlanta's defense was not playing up the par like they
- 18:49were doing in the 1st 3/4. But Tom Brady, Bill Belichick
- 18:56and New England's defense and running game never said die.
- 19:02And even though I believe that game was rigged, I've said that
- 19:05many, many times. That's what you think and that's
- 19:09what you see as a fan of sports, the value of a champion.
- 19:15Champions find a way to win those games.
- 19:18Even if you're down by 20, you're down by 15, down by 5
- 19:23with one minute left, you are not going to quit.
- 19:27And Danny Hurley is not one of those guys that quits.
- 19:31I know all about Danny Hurley. Hurley, in his career, even as a
- 19:34basketball player, he played for Providence.
- 19:40He was not a good college basketball player.
- 19:43As a matter of fact, his brother Bobby was a sensational 1.
- 19:48Danny was never going to play NBA basketball.
- 19:51Bobby was drafted, got into a car accident, never flourished
- 19:56as an NBA player. I know because I'm a Bobby
- 20:00Hurley fan. But I knew the family and their
- 20:03father, who was an elite high school coach in New Jersey,
- 20:09found a way to keep a basketball program.
- 20:13Open because they had no money, A private school that couldn't
- 20:17keep it open. The only thing that kept that
- 20:18school open was their basketball program.
- 20:21That says a lot about the Hurley family.
- 20:26All three of these guys found a way.
- 20:30Bobby Hurley won two national championships with the Duke Blue
- 20:35Devils. Danny Hurley has already won two
- 20:39national championships with UConn and their father won 2829
- 20:47state championships. They're from a winning family.
- 20:53And when you go against a family of talented, smart athletes or
- 21:03professional coaches, and I'm not, I don't know what Bobby
- 21:08Hurley is as a as a NCAA coach. I don't know what he is because
- 21:11he never went to a good program. And until he gets to a program
- 21:14that can recruit the right players, we'll never know what
- 21:17Bobby Hurley is as a head coach. But we know what Danny Hurley
- 21:20is. Danny Hurley is a winner, a born
- 21:23winner. Nobody's going to take that away
- 21:25from him anymore. This guy took three teams to the
- 21:30Final Four in four years. How many coaches in NCAA history
- 21:36has done that? I'm going to tell you, probably
- 21:39not more than a handful, maybe not even that much.
- 21:43I don't even know what the statistic is, but it's it's it's
- 21:46not easy to do something like that.
- 21:49And it says a lot about their coach.
- 21:50It says a lot about what that regime has done for U Conn
- 21:54basketball. Remember, he took over for a
- 21:58coach that won a national championship.
- 22:03And then again, when you talk about all the different things
- 22:08that Yukon and the trials and tribulations that Yukon had to
- 22:11go through after last year, if we remember what happened to
- 22:14last year and Yukon, Yukon, Yukon lost early in the
- 22:19tournament, I think it was the Sweet 16.
- 22:21Round of 32 against Florida and Hurley came out.
- 22:23We talked about it. He was venting at the refs.
- 22:26So it was the round of 32 after that Danny Hurley after the
- 22:31game, I remember what he said. He blamed the refs and he said
- 22:34we'll be back next year. And then 60 minutes after the
- 22:38tournament interviewed Danny Hurley in his basement, his his
- 22:43little man cave. And I remember it.
- 22:46And they asked him what is what is the value of success?
- 22:50And Danny Hurley said, wait, that's the only word of success.
- 22:56If you don't win, there is no success and this man has found a
- 23:00way. John Shire, who has had some of
- 23:04the best recruiting classes in the last three years, has not
- 23:08bought a win. He hasn't even played in the
- 23:10national championship. Think about it.
- 23:14He has two guys right now in the NBA fighting for rookie of the
- 23:17year. One that's broke the rookie 3
- 23:19point shot, 3 point field goal percentage in his first year as
- 23:24a rookie. And the other one who's a
- 23:27superstar on the Dallas Mavericks, who's going to be the
- 23:29face of United States basketball.
- 23:33Think about that. Let that, let that clear your,
- 23:38your whole thought on what John Shire is as a head coach.
- 23:41And I went back and forth with the JJ Redick thing.
- 23:44And I again, I'm not blaming this all on John Shire, but
- 23:47guess somebody's got to take responsibility.
- 23:50Somebody's got to because Cam Boozer is heading off to the NBA
- 23:54draft. You're going to get another top
- 23:57end or not top 2 recruits next year.
- 24:00When is it going to be enough for Duke?
- 24:02When is it going to be enough for the program to understand
- 24:04the snack? This guy's not a winner.
- 24:08He's not a born winner. Look, it took North Carolina a
- 24:13couple of years to realize that Hubert Davis is not the guy.
- 24:16We all knew that he wasn't the guy.
- 24:20I don't think anybody's blindsided.
- 24:22Didn't understand what the Duke blood of a stand for college
- 24:26basketball coach K the Dookies. I know that Tommy is a Duke fan.
- 24:33I'm a Duke fan. I didn't expect Duke to win this
- 24:37game. But going up 15 points and a
- 24:39half, there was no way UConn comes back in this game.
- 24:42Not the way Cambusa was playing, not the way the team was playing
- 24:46defensively. Not not the way UConn couldn't
- 24:49put a bucket in the net for 5 minutes in the at the tail end
- 24:53of the the first half. They looked horrible.
- 25:00Forster came back with a what was it, a broken foot?
- 25:03Foot fracture? Yeah, He was never supposed to
- 25:05come back at all. And he played for 14 minutes in
- 25:08this game, no points. He played a big part of them in
- 25:14the Sweet 16, moving on to the Elite 8.
- 25:17Why wasn't he used as much as he should have been used in this
- 25:20game? And I'm not taking shots at
- 25:21Kaden, but you saw throughout this tournament when Kaden had
- 25:24too much of the ball, commanded too much of the ball.
- 25:27He made mistakes. Forster is your veteran.
- 25:32This might be his final year playing college ball.
- 25:35I think it is his final year playing college ball.
- 25:38I would trust more in my veteran than a rookie who has not had
- 25:42enough time on the basketball court or season because of the
- 25:45Dukes depth. The Dukies.
- 25:50I was about to say the Dukies, but the fact here is Yukon is
- 25:55going to move on and a lot of people looking at Mullins and
- 26:00they're giving him a lot of credit.
- 26:01And Mullins, he's got a nice smile.
- 26:03He's a nice kid. I know I we were talking to Mike
- 26:05V, our manager throughout our our meetings yesterday and he
- 26:09says, oh, he's a prominent first round draft pick.
- 26:13I don't know about that. I think he plays another year in
- 26:16college basketball, gives himself a little bit more time
- 26:20under Danny Hurley before he decides to go into an NBA draft.
- 26:26But he didn't stand out in this tournament.
- 26:29Mullins did not. He's a freshman.
- 26:31He's not. He's nice to watch.
- 26:33He he's got a great shot. He's an Indiana alum.
- 26:36He's a high school champion, state champion in Indiana.
- 26:39You know, there's great basketball to be played in
- 26:41Indiana. Everybody knows that.
- 26:44Indiana basketball is everything.
- 26:48But he didn't have a great game. Nobody on this UConn team had a
- 26:53great game. Nobody except Reed.
- 26:57So what does it tell me about the Duke Blue Devils going into
- 27:02the offseason now? Well, it tells me two things. 1
- 27:08John Shire has one more year to prove himself to win a national
- 27:11championship, or at least get this team in a national
- 27:14championship. That's one, and he's got 2
- 27:17recruits, one that's I think #2 in the world #2 in the country,
- 27:22coming out of college, coming out of high school, he's heading
- 27:25into to play for Duke. And I think they have the number
- 27:274 for prospect that's going to Duke next year.
- 27:32So you have two and four coming to this roster.
- 27:35And this team that's still fully loaded, still has a loaded team.
- 27:40So if Shire doesn't get this team into the finals next year,
- 27:44he has to be fired. You can't put talent after
- 27:48talent after talent and fall short.
- 27:51Look at Kentucky. John Calipari for years had the
- 27:54best recruiting classes and he won a national championship or
- 27:58two in Kentucky. He found a way to get these guys
- 28:02to come and play in Kentucky. I don't know.
- 28:03At the time there was no NIL deal, so who knows if they were
- 28:06paying them under the table. We all know what happened in
- 28:08Memphis. We know the whole Derrick Rose
- 28:11thing after the fact that he was drafted by Chicago.
- 28:15Everybody knows that story. Who do you think was behind
- 28:18that? John Calipari.
- 28:21Why do you think John Calipari parted ways with Kentucky and
- 28:26Kentucky parted ways with him? Because the time was ready.
- 28:32It was ready to move on. There was no there was no more
- 28:36Calipari in Kentucky. Calipari realized that it was
- 28:39time to move on. That's why he went to Arkansas,
- 28:42that's why he took that contract, and that's why he
- 28:44moved on. And I'm not saying John Shire is
- 28:47at that level yet because John Calipari won national
- 28:50championships before that and he did it with different teams.
- 28:56My thought here is John Shire has one more year.
- 29:03The director over there at Duke for Duke basketball has one more
- 29:08year. If this team cannot get in to a
- 29:12national championship, there's no way this team keeps this
- 29:16coaching staff, this director and move forward in the future
- 29:25with this team. I, I just, there's nothing here
- 29:27that tells me that I'm excited about the Duke Blue Devils next
- 29:30year. I don't trust John Shire.
- 29:33I told everybody about John Shire.
- 29:35I never respected the fact that Coach Gay, out of all the guys
- 29:38he could have picked, all the guys he picked John Shire.
- 29:41Why? Because John Shire has been
- 29:43licking his ass for the last five years on the sidelines,
- 29:47kissing his rear end, going to practices and calling the
- 29:50offense. What is it?
- 29:52Because John Shire's face is going to be a meme for the rest
- 29:55of the year. Did anybody see his face?
- 29:58When Mullins hit that three pointer, it was more than
- 30:03shocked. It was like, oh man, I got to go
- 30:05and take a dump. I, I'm, I probably crap myself.
- 30:09I'm I better? I better be wearing my diaper
- 30:11tonight. Flabbergasted.
- 30:14He was absolutely shocked that that went in.
- 30:18That was almost a half court shot.
- 30:19It was 5 feet away from it. It was unbelievable.
- 30:24And it wasn't just like it banged off a rim and it tapped
- 30:26in. Remember the Halliburton shot
- 30:28when he beat the Knicks when it jumped off the rim up and it
- 30:31fell right in and everybody was like shocked and it went to
- 30:33overtime. Remember that it wasn't.
- 30:35Like that? It was a swish that went right
- 30:39in. Mullins look like he was.
- 30:42He was shocked himself. It was like I don't know what he
- 30:45was thinking. I, I, I don't know what to say
- 30:48after that shot went in, but I can tell you what Kaden Boozer
- 30:50was thinking. Why did I do that?
- 30:53I just cost my brother and my team a national championship
- 30:57because they were on their way. There's no way they lose against
- 31:00Illinois. There's no way Duke loses
- 31:03against Illinois. No way.
- 31:05There's no way. Now they go to a national
- 31:07championship. John Shire looks like he's a
- 31:10genius. Maybe they lose if they lose
- 31:12against Arizona or they lose against Michigan.
- 31:14Who knows, But at least they get to that national championship,
- 31:17what John Shire has been fighting for for the last couple
- 31:20of years now. There's no national
- 31:24championship. John Shire is going to be back
- 31:26to the drawing board. Duke is going to be back to the
- 31:28drawing board. They're going to be wondering
- 31:30what do we need to do? What did we do wrong?
- 31:32Why did this happen? It's always why, why, why, why,
- 31:35why and what John Shire said at the end of the game makes no
- 31:39sense. It doesn't.
- 31:42None of it does. I know there's a lot of people
- 31:47that stand for what they believe.
- 31:50And he says, well, you know, we practice this every single
- 31:52practice. We practice this every single
- 31:55time we're out there and we're practicing these particular
- 31:59situations. Well, if you practice it, the
- 32:03first thing you're telling the player is don't throw the ball
- 32:06away. Hold on to the ball, let them
- 32:09foul you. There's 4 seconds or five at
- 32:12the, I don't remember how much, 5 seconds left of the game.
- 32:15Don't throw the ball away, get it across.
- 32:19They had a chance. Kaden had one guy to beat.
- 32:21All he had to do is walk right past that line 5 feet away from
- 32:26him. The game's over.
- 32:28They foul him. He it's one of those free
- 32:30throws. There's no way they shoot a
- 32:31three. There's no way they're going to
- 32:32be able to shoot a half court. They would have to force the
- 32:34ball like Kate, like Duke had to do at the end of the game.
- 32:38There was no way that was going to happen.
- 32:41Stats and statistical tell you there's no chance.
- 32:45But when you see 4.6 seconds left and they have a chance to
- 32:48set up, there's a very good chance if you get the ball in
- 32:51the right guy's hand and in the position to get that ball off,
- 32:55there's a good chance that ball can go in.
- 32:58And it did. And boy, oh boy, that shot is
- 33:02going to be a remembered not just in UConn history, in Elite
- 33:068 history for many, many years to come.
- 33:08Yeah, you mentioned it. Like you, Dan Hurley is one of
- 33:11those coaches that are never going to have a guy quit
- 33:12whatsoever and they trusted in starting lineup.
- 33:15You mentioned the very lack of bench points outside of Malachi
- 33:18Smith that is kind of considered a six man.
- 33:19He's kind of a French starter anyway.
- 33:21But they trusted those guys to just play tight, play smart and
- 33:26still trust in their identity. They didn't shoot threes all
- 33:28game. They still tried to shoot threes
- 33:29and hope they got back into it. They kept missing free throws.
- 33:31They were beating themselves in a lot of ways for a while, but
- 33:34they stayed resilient on defense.
- 33:35They stayed resilient in terms of getting to the foul line and
- 33:37it allowed them to get back into this game.
- 33:39And obviously they know that they've been vulnerable to
- 33:42press. I was even saying because I
- 33:44watched the Duke St. Johns with you, I was saying for
- 33:46a while that the way Rick Pitino was pressing was a lot of the
- 33:49same issues that they had against Houston and Calvin
- 33:51Sampson and that defense and Tino was doing it throughout the
- 33:54game a lot of the time there. And I was saying Hurley should
- 33:57adopt that same identity at the start of the second-half.
- 33:58You're down by 15 points. You're not getting anything from
- 34:01threes. Try to get some transition
- 34:03baskets off steals with the defense.
- 34:04I was saying they should have pressed for a while, played a
- 34:06Bob Huggins West Virginia type identity where he would press
- 34:08the whole game because John Shire, as evident though last
- 34:12year does not know how to have his team set up good inbound
- 34:14plays. And obviously Kate and Boozer
- 34:16throw the ball away. Now, Boozer could have done two
- 34:18different things. I think one of which is just
- 34:20threw it a little earlier when he had more space.
- 34:21I thought maybe if he threw it a second earlier I think he would
- 34:24have gotten it off fine. Either way, the other thing you
- 34:27do is just dribble back further and then try to push it to a
- 34:30teammate. Is it me, and I want to say this
- 34:32to all the fans out there, is it me that watching this
- 34:35tournament, every single one of these teams had problems
- 34:38shooting free throws throughout the tournament.
- 34:40Every game that I watched, every game I watched that some of
- 34:44these elite teams had problems shooting free throws.
- 34:47St. John's against Duke had problems
- 34:49at the tail end of the game shooting free throws.
- 34:52And that's the problem. It's the easiest shot that could
- 34:55cost you. And remember with these games
- 34:57are so close, it's 1234 points, whatever it is.
- 35:01And I don't know what Vegas had the what was it?
- 35:05What was the over on this game? What was that?
- 35:071651156I believe .5 because I know Paulo said he had a friend
- 35:12that was betting on it. So 156.5 or whatever it was, I
- 35:16mean, think about it, there's something to be said about what
- 35:21Vegas knows before going into this game and I and most of the
- 35:25time they're 68% right. So you're betting on it.
- 35:29You're probably throwing the money away if you're betting
- 35:31against it. If you bet for it, you're not
- 35:33making much money on it. And that's the thing about
- 35:36college sports. And everybody says when you
- 35:39watch college football and you compare college, college
- 35:41basketball is probably the hardest sport to bet on because
- 35:45you don't know what's going to happen with the last two
- 35:47minutes, 3 minutes of the game. Because we've seen crazier
- 35:50things, especially against Duke, especially against the Duke Blue
- 35:54Devils. They just can't buy a win when
- 35:58they're up big money. And I say big money because
- 36:01usually when you're up 15 points, that's that's pretty
- 36:04much everything. You can believe that this team
- 36:06is going to the Final Four. You can bet all the money going
- 36:09in. I thought after the half there
- 36:12is no way UConn comes back in this game.
- 36:14No way. There's no way can I?
- 36:16Not the way, Duke. Was playing can I present you
- 36:18this one with I with two coaches that I know you don't like is
- 36:21John Shire the anti Kyle Shanahan is does Duke get too
- 36:25conservative late in the game? Because a lot of the Duke fans
- 36:28when I posted your article on Reddit was saying that I don't
- 36:30think that Duke keeps their foot on the gas a lot of the time
- 36:33either trying to get more foul shots because it's not like they
- 36:35were shooting the free throws badly like they were in the
- 36:37first game with Saint John's. I just don't think they were
- 36:39getting enough opportunities and they were trusting too much of
- 36:42that secondary scoring that just wasn't there.
- 36:44Forcing too much on Caleb Foster where he's still kind of playing
- 36:46hurt. Kaden Booze, like you were
- 36:48saying, maybe was making some bad decisions with the ball.
- 36:50I just think they were trying to like think they were just too
- 36:53content with a 10 point lead or A7 point lead all the time.
- 36:56John Shire Over the last couple of years and especially in the
- 37:01tournament, even against North Carolina this year in the
- 37:04regular season, we have seen John Shire play it safe.
- 37:09Coach K has never played it safe.
- 37:12If you ever watch Coach K coach, especially in the tournament, he
- 37:16made sure he ride or died with his his defense.
- 37:19He's going to put pressure, he's going to press on you, he's
- 37:21going to get the ball and he's going to get the ball in the in
- 37:24his best players hands. He did that with Christian
- 37:26Leitner in the 90s. He did that moving forward with
- 37:29all the different guys, Jason Williams, all the guys that
- 37:32we've seen in the past, JJ Redick, all these guys that were
- 37:36great players playing college basketball.
- 37:38He made sure that he put them in the right position and got the
- 37:41ball to the them as quick as he possibly can so they can get a
- 37:44good shot off. With John Shire, I just think he
- 37:47just plays everything safe. Everything that he does, even
- 37:50when he speaks to the media, it's like he doesn't know what
- 37:54to say. And when he says it, it's
- 37:55awkward. Everything that he says, it's
- 37:58just awkward. Did anybody watch the press
- 38:00conference after the game? I mean, I feel bad for Camp
- 38:03Booster because there was a lot of memes and a lot of different
- 38:06things that were posting up on TikTok of him beating up Shire.
- 38:09I mean, some people made some jokes about it.
- 38:11He punched out Shire and that was that was a little a little
- 38:15crazy for you. Too extreme.
- 38:17Yeah. But Cam Boozer, he his eye, he
- 38:20has a black, black and blue eye. His eye was practically shut.
- 38:24He got, I think it was in the first half when he got hit in
- 38:26the face and and he he played hard all game.
- 38:31After that, there was nothing. You can't blame Cam Boozer for
- 38:35not showing up. Everybody said that Cam Boozer
- 38:37throughout this tournament has hurt himself in this draft.
- 38:40I don't think so because after that game Cam Boozer showed why
- 38:44he's a top three draft pick. Cam Boozer showed why you can
- 38:48rely on him in a big game when you need him to score big shots.
- 38:5210 for 21/1 for 4/3 point line, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks.
- 38:59He played as well as you possibly can in an Elite 8 game
- 39:03to get your team in the Final Four.
- 39:05Yeah, and you mentioned the secondary scoring being an issue
- 39:07for Duke. It was also an issue for UConn
- 39:09and they never adjusted to try to take away Reed at any point
- 39:13to extend the offensive rebounds as well.
- 39:15UConn was getting a lot of extra possessions that way as well,
- 39:18where that still will add up overtime.
- 39:21As much as they were missing threes, they were still able to
- 39:23nod back it it wasn't like a natural.
- 39:25All right? One huge run got UConn back in
- 39:27the game and went from 15 to pretty steadily 10 for a while
- 39:29and pretty steadily 7. And it was like for a while
- 39:32Yukon was not able to get past seven.
- 39:34But eventually it was going to break if they just made either
- 39:36one stupid mistake, which there were a couple bad turnovers
- 39:39before that too, or they were missing the free throws.
- 39:41Duke had a couple of times I missed the second-half of the
- 39:43one on ones with the free throws.
- 39:44But again, I don't think that was as big of an issue as it
- 39:46was, was just the inbounding plays, which if you're John
- 39:49Shire, that's gonna be the first thing in in next year's camp to
- 39:52start a just practice inbounding plays, for the love of God.
- 39:55So Quinton couples. Thank you.
- 39:57Bring me in. Quinton Couples sending me text
- 40:01messages. I was in the hospital when this
- 40:03all was going on. I was in the hospital, I was not
- 40:06doing very well. I I'm dealing with kidney stones
- 40:09and all Quinton Cole post can tell me is there goes your
- 40:13bracket there goes your bracket. And I said, well, I still got
- 40:18UConn moving on, he said. And it went back and forth.
- 40:21Quinton likes the competition. I like the competition too.
- 40:24And I don't care who wins this bracket because it's all luck,
- 40:28but. He personally.
- 40:30He personally. It is locked.
- 40:32You're going to tell me. Are you going to tell me that
- 40:35the bracket is in luck? No, get out of here.
- 40:38You got to have a mindset. Beggars to get a 68% right, but
- 40:41we don't have no idea. Make it make sense.
- 40:44Quentin, how far is U of UNC? No I didn't.
- 40:47That's that's what I'm saying mindset wise.
- 40:49I knew they weren't going to go very far.
- 40:51I told y'all I was like they put.
- 40:53Out in the first round. Yeah.
- 40:55So it's just, you know, winners understand, certainly.
- 40:58Winners Winners Duke was. That's what it is.
- 41:02Duke was what, like 4 seconds away from winning and winning?
- 41:06And you ready to fire the coach and at least 8.
- 41:08That's what I'm not understanding so.
- 41:10They should, but they're not going to for.
- 41:12What they just gave him ext 5 years.
- 41:14I know that's what makes me even.
- 41:16Go survive at my 3. Do you think I want to see Duke
- 41:20go on next year with John Shire after what I've seen the last
- 41:24two seasons? It doesn't matter.
- 41:25It's going to be the same result.
- 41:27You got a #1 recruiting class coming in again.
- 41:29Because I still won't learn how to practice their inbound place.
- 41:32Guess what's going to happen again next year?
- 41:33The same thing. No matter what coach is on the
- 41:35side. That's just what's going to
- 41:37happen. They're not.
- 41:37They're not they they're only good for regular season success
- 41:42and high draft picks. That's what they do.
- 41:45Hold on one second. Wait a second.
- 41:48Duke wins national championships?
- 41:50What do you? What do you speak?
- 41:51What is it? Wait, wait a second.
- 41:54First of all, it doesn't matter. They win national championship.
- 41:56How many does North Carolina win?
- 41:59I mean, N yeah. They just won, yeah.
- 42:01They won two years. Two years more recently than
- 42:03Duke. Yes, they won one.
- 42:05They won one. That's a lot.
- 42:08And after that, before that, what did they win?
- 42:10Who? You're North Carolina Tar Heels.
- 42:13What did they win after that? That was Roy Williams leading
- 42:15and that was like 10. Years before that history, Lane
- 42:18Who's Who's leading in national titles?
- 42:20What are you talking about? Hey.
- 42:22They're both the same. They're both the same five, I'm
- 42:24pretty sure. Y'all got five?
- 42:25Yes, I think we got SIS. Yeah, well, I think you.
- 42:27Need to OK, all right, OK. Some of that wine and champagne,
- 42:31are we, are we losing that too or are we winning that?
- 42:34What do you win and go losing? What are you?
- 42:35Talking about yeah, we winning, what do you want?
- 42:36What do you? Want.
- 42:37What are you talking about? Head to head Metro.
- 42:40Head to head match up. That rival, we've been so even
- 42:42forever, it's, it's crazy how statistically even it is.
- 42:45I think you might be ahead now, but it's not not by much.
- 42:48It's not by much. Listen, listen, I just want you
- 42:50to just tell me what it is. I don't want to know if it's
- 42:53even if it's close. Microscopic.
- 42:56Sample wait a. Second, wait a second, wait a
- 42:58second, Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.
- 43:01So I am going to help you out. So you're telling me because
- 43:05North Carolina has, what, two or three more wins against Duke in
- 43:10a lifetime of basketball that makes North Carolina a better
- 43:13program? Is that what you're?
- 43:15That's what you're talking about?
- 43:16Is that what you're thinking? How many takes the win?
- 43:18What do you mean? How many does it take a win?
- 43:20What are you What are you talking about?
- 43:22Win anything, Bets anything, Games anything.
- 43:25What are you talking? How many?
- 43:27How many does it take? Does it take 1-2 or three?
- 43:29How many does it take? What?
- 43:31What are you trying to get to? I don't what are you getting?
- 43:33At you're better if you're ahead.
- 43:35So if you're winning, the more. If you win it the most, you're
- 43:38hit, you're better, you're better program, you're better.
- 43:41That's what it is. That's what.
- 43:42It is. That's what it is.
- 43:43That's why we have ratings. All right, So the Yankees won 27
- 43:46World Series, all right? But the Red Sox have won more
- 43:49championships in the last past 15 years than the Yankees.
- 43:53Does that make the Yankees a better organization in the last
- 43:5515 years? Yes or no?
- 43:57No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
- 43:59No it doesn't. OK, historically better
- 44:03franchise, maybe. I would say the Yankees are
- 44:06probably better than the Red Sox right now.
- 44:09That's not what I'm. Saying it's not what I'm
- 44:10speaking. It's more respected franchise
- 44:12historically. It's not even close.
- 44:14That's not what I'm speaking about.
- 44:16I'm talking about success. In the last 15 years, who's more
- 44:19successful, the Yankees or the Red Sox?
- 44:21All right, the Red Sox. So to me, in the last 15 years,
- 44:24who's been a better franchise? The Red Sox.
- 44:26The Red Sox. That's.
- 44:28I'm a Yankee fan. I'm not going to hide behind.
- 44:30It and the college basketball analogy to this is comparing
- 44:34UCLA is the most championships of all time, but they.
- 44:36Haven't won one. I think since the 80s and UConn
- 44:39is won 6 championships on their the chance for seven and they've
- 44:44all done it since 99. It's the same logic.
- 44:46No, what I'm saying is you can't refer to history and then ignore
- 44:49a part of history. That's my thing.
- 44:51I'm not. No, you can't.
- 44:52To defend your argument, you can't slide it to 15 years
- 44:55versus the overall. So overall, says one team.
- 44:59And then you go, Oh no, let's go to the last 10 years, the last
- 45:0215 years, and let's use that history instead of the last 100
- 45:05years. So let's go back.
- 45:07So let's go back. Let's go back to history because
- 45:10you like to look at history, all right?
- 45:12How many teams were in the major leagues in the 50s?
- 45:16You're in history, buddy. You don't have to tell.
- 45:17Me. How many teams were there?
- 45:18Speedy. It was most of the National
- 45:20League, not a lot of the. Americans How many teams?
- 45:22Speedy, I believe. I want to say it was 20.
- 45:25It was less than that, OK, less than that in the 40s and the
- 45:2950s. So, well, now we're looking. 16
- 45:32Errol 16 in the 1950s. 16 all right, so 16, so there, so real.
- 45:38And there was no wild card. There was none of that.
- 45:40It was if you get you're the best team in the American
- 45:43League, you're the best in the National League, you're playing
- 45:44in the World Series. That's how it worked.
- 45:46There was no rounds, there was no divisional, there's no the
- 45:49LALCSNLCS, there was none of that.
- 45:53OK, now let's come to now. Now what do you have to do to
- 45:56win a Major League championship? What do you have to do to to get
- 46:00to a World Series? You got to go through three
- 46:02rounds to get to a World Series and then play in A7 game Series
- 46:06A a brutal 7 game series. That's what I'm saying.
- 46:10And that's what you can't compare errors, but you can
- 46:13compare the last 15 to 20 years. You can.
- 46:17You can. And if you would ask me right
- 46:19now who has been more successful in the last 20 years, the Duke
- 46:23Blue Devils or North Carolina Tar Heels, I'm going to say
- 46:26Duke. I am going to say the Duke Blue
- 46:29Devils. That's my argument.
- 46:31Based on success wins, the lost totals, talent.
- 46:35You laugh, but it's true. I looked it up.
- 46:39UNC's won one more title, six to five over Duke, and they've won
- 46:45three titles titles more recently than Dukes won three
- 46:48titles. But it's close.
- 46:51A small win because national champion, but you when you're
- 46:55not getting it. That's the argument here.
- 46:57When you're going to a tournament, it's all about luck.
- 47:00You know you don't get it. It is.
- 47:03It is you. Can't just one off skiing?
- 47:05It's luck Errol, don't you think though?
- 47:08Like a well coached team, they would know that if there's only
- 47:1210 seconds left on the clock. I am not.
- 47:15Saying I'm not, you know what I mean?
- 47:17I'm not saying John Shire is a good coach.
- 47:20I have taken shots at John Shire on the show a million times.
- 47:24I can't stand him. He's a terrible head coach.
- 47:27So if that's what you're trying to throw at me, he's at.
- 47:29I'm talking about when you look at when you're watching the
- 47:32tournament, you're watching the bracket and you're betting on
- 47:35the bracket. The I wrote a story about it,
- 47:38the chances that your bracket is 100% flawless, it is very slim.
- 47:44It's it's, it's, it's your guess against mine.
- 47:46That's what it is. There's not a chance in hell.
- 47:49And, and usually there might be one or two guys in the whole
- 47:52world that has the perfect bracket.
- 47:54And when you look at these teams, they're so evenly
- 47:57matched, even when you look at yes, they are.
- 48:01Yes, they are. When you look at they are, man,
- 48:04there's a lot of them. Yes, a three seed is very much
- 48:08you can match up against an 8 seed.
- 48:10Well, no one matches up with Arizona, I mean.
- 48:13Yeah, you keep saying. Even even match.
- 48:17Well, I mean, we got a few of those games to talk about,
- 48:19Errol. There's other guys going to face
- 48:21UConn in this Final Four. My here's the facts, guys, and
- 48:24we will get into that in just one second.
- 48:25I, I want to finish, finish what I have to say here because this
- 48:28is what really bust my bubble. And I, I understand what Q likes
- 48:31to do. He likes to get onto my skin.
- 48:33He likes to argue and I like to do.
- 48:36Is it really because when you're watching, when you're watching
- 48:39the national championship, like when you watch hockey, watch the
- 48:42NHL playoffs, you could predict who the best teams are.
- 48:47You can predict right now going into the playoffs who are the
- 48:50best teams right now in hockey. Three best teams in the Central
- 48:52Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota. OK.
- 48:54And who's the best in East Tampa?
- 48:56Who's the best in East? The three teams, the best in
- 48:59Carolina, Buffalo, Buffalo. OK, I'm going to predict here
- 49:03that one of those three teams in the West and one of those three
- 49:06teams in the East is going to be in the Finals.
- 49:08Predict it. You want to put it on.
- 49:10I will put whatever you want on it.
- 49:12I will put whatever you want on it.
- 49:14But here's the. Thing.
- 49:16Here's the thing, I I'm just saying I'm, I'm giving you, I
- 49:20don't know. I got to, I got to look at it.
- 49:21I got to see how who's healthy. I mean, the playoffs haven't
- 49:24started yet, so I'm not going to sit here and tell you who's
- 49:26going to win. My argument here is when you put
- 49:29two and two together and you understand how it it works, you
- 49:33will understand why I'm saying that the NCAA Tournament, March
- 49:36Madness, it's all about luck. It's all about luck.
- 49:40It really is. It's all about luck.
- 49:42Because anybody would have thought watching Pitino go
- 49:47against John Shire and they were up by 1 going into the
- 49:52second-half, especially they were up at 1.9 points against
- 49:56Duke in the second-half that they were going to pull away
- 49:59because Pitino's just that much better of a coach than John
- 50:02Shire. But what happened, 2 came back,
- 50:05made their shots, campers hit important free throws and they
- 50:09beat the Johnnies at the end of the game.
- 50:13So what I'm trying to say here is if you're going to predict
- 50:17things or you're going to point things out.
- 50:18The one thing you cannot predict, you cannot point out,
- 50:21and I'll say it again is predicting what's going to go on
- 50:25in this in the in March Madness and what's going to happen when
- 50:28it comes to Arizona and Michigan and now Illinois.
- 50:32And even though Illinois is not matched up very well against
- 50:36UConn, I I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois beats UConn if they
- 50:40come out strong and they shoot the ball the way they've been
- 50:42shooting in this tournament. I'm just saying here, that's all
- 50:45my art. Because you said everybody's
- 50:46evenly matched, so that would only make sense.
- 50:48I would say right now, yeah. Utah State is just as good as
- 50:51Arizona. I would say right now when you
- 50:53look at what these teams have done so far in this tournament
- 50:57and you can see that you can credit these teams on what
- 50:59they've done, that I believe that all these teams are evenly
- 51:02matched. All of them.
- 51:03Even what we've seen Berries has done in the tournament and
- 51:06Arizona has done and, and, and what they did against Purdue in
- 51:09the second-half, which was shocking.
- 51:11I would say that because Purdue looked like they were running
- 51:14away with the game. They were up by 7 or 6 going
- 51:17into the second-half. They had a great game plan and
- 51:20they choked, they couldn't hit a lick in the 1st 5 minutes of the
- 51:24second-half. And then Arizona took over and,
- 51:28and they started scoring and then they played catch up.
- 51:30And when you play catch up against Arizona, you don't have
- 51:33a lead against them and you can't defend against their top
- 51:36two players. And they've had and, and Purdue
- 51:39had problems doing that and hitting shots in the
- 51:41second-half, especially last 10 minutes of the game.
- 51:43There was no way they were winning that game.
- 51:45But I want to get into the Elite 8, so let's get into it.
- 51:48And the first Elite 8 matchup. Illinois defeated Iowa 71 to 59
- 51:52to advance to their first Final Four appearance since 2005.
- 51:57Illinois defense remained dominant, holding Iowa to under
- 52:0060 points for the first time in the tournament.
- 52:04The Arizona Wildcats are heading to their first Final Four since
- 52:072001 after a 7964 win over Purdue.
- 52:11After Purdue was up by 7 points at half, Arizona had a 16 three
- 52:18second-half run led by freshman Co-op Pete, who was named the
- 52:24West Region Most Outstanding Player.
- 52:27Purdue's veteran trio of Braden, Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman,
- 52:31Wren and Fletcher Lawyer struggle badly, combining to
- 52:36shoot just 12 out for 12 for 38 in the game.
- 52:40In the last game, Michigan blew out Tennessee 95 to 62, which is
- 52:44expected to advance to their first Final Four since 2018.
- 52:49This is the third straight year Tennessee has been eliminating
- 52:53in Elite 8 and is one of nine Power Five teams to have never
- 52:58made a Final Four. Michigan won their 11th game by
- 53:0230 or more points this season and also became the first team
- 53:07in NCAA history, a tournament history, to win four straight
- 53:11games by double digits while scoring at least 90 in a game.
- 53:15By the way, it's very impressive what Michigan did throughout
- 53:19this tournament. When you look at Michigan and
- 53:22what Michigan has done in this tournament, I, there are a lot
- 53:26of things that I can say that really stuck out to me, but I, I
- 53:30wouldn't have expected this team to do it and make it look so
- 53:34easy, especially what they did against Tennessee, because
- 53:38Tennessee throughout the tournament, there were, there
- 53:41was a lot of questions with Tennessee.
- 53:43Are they going to score enough? Are they going to be able to
- 53:45play at an elite level? Well, they proved everybody
- 53:48wrong because they did it in such a high level all the way
- 53:51through the Sweet 16 until the Elite 8.
- 53:53They bumped into a a jigsaw puzzle of Michigan because you I
- 53:57say they're a jigsaw puzzle because there are games that
- 54:00Michigan makes this game makes the game look so close.
- 54:03And you have questions if Michigan's going to be able to
- 54:05play at a high level throughout the game because they're up and
- 54:08they're down. They don't play heavy defense.
- 54:10They don't score enough in certain quarters.
- 54:13And and you wonder is this team going to win a national
- 54:15championship? Are they capable of winning a
- 54:17national championship? We've seen Arizona do it
- 54:19throughout this tournament. Even when they're their ups and
- 54:22downs, they're just a high flying offense.
- 54:24We know what Arizona can do and what they're capable of doing.
- 54:26They have Bradley and they're Berries, two guys that are going
- 54:29to be top ten, top 12 picks. Michigan is different.
- 54:35What Michigan brings to the table, they're a high flying
- 54:38offense. They can score, they can go up
- 54:40and down the court. The things that they do better
- 54:43than most teams in this tournament is they could shoot
- 54:46the three, they can shoot. This team could shoot.
- 54:50Arizona is not a great 3 point shooting team.
- 54:53They're not. They don't shoot.
- 54:54They shoot the least amount of three pointers going into this
- 54:57tournament and really throughout this tournament they haven't
- 55:00shot a lot of three pointers. If Michigan plays like they
- 55:04played against Tennessee, there's no chance in hell
- 55:07Arizona has to beating them. They're the best overall team, I
- 55:13believe, in this tournament because of what they do strong
- 55:17and what the other teams don't do strong.
- 55:21But I, I, I was, I was impressed with Arizona.
- 55:25I was, I, I, I can't, I can't hide behind it.
- 55:27I was impressed. I, I, I'm not surprised that
- 55:31when Arizona took the lead and it started to break out and, and
- 55:34break away from Purdue, Purdue was going to have problem
- 55:37scoring. And I'll tell you this, what
- 55:39Arizona did very well, they kept Purdue outside of the paint.
- 55:43They kept the ball outside of the paint.
- 55:45They may produce shoot shots that they were uncomfortable
- 55:47doing. They were putting and they made
- 55:50sure they're their best shooters weren't getting the right shots,
- 55:54the right spots to hit their shots.
- 55:57And I watched it. I've been watching Purdue all
- 55:59season long and this was the first time that I could say that
- 56:02Purdue and Purdue lost like 7-8 games this year.
- 56:05It wasn't like they were undefeated.
- 56:07They they only lost two or three games.
- 56:10They they've been beaten a couple times this year, but a
- 56:12lot of those games were very close games.
- 56:14They weren't, They didn't get blown out.
- 56:17To me, this was a blowout, an absolute torture rack.
- 56:21And everybody remember, I forget who it was who did the torture
- 56:25rack in wrestling. I I I'm trying to remember it.
- 56:28Was it Lex Luger that did the torture rack?
- 56:30It was. He did the torture.
- 56:32Yeah, it was Lex Luger. Thank you, Tommy.
- 56:34I mean, I I pretty much pulled it out.
- 56:36These are my wrestling guys. And they couldn't give it.
- 56:38They couldn't give it to me. It was Lex Luger that did the
- 56:40torture rack. And what did Lex Luger do?
- 56:42He put them on your back and he'd squeeze your back until you
- 56:45completely are done. Well, that's what Arizona did in
- 56:49the second-half and they did it pretty quickly.
- 56:52At the 15 point mark, I mean 15 minute mark, I believe the game
- 56:57was over. I didn't think Purdue was going
- 57:01to come back no matter how close it was.
- 57:02And Purdue knocked it down to five points with 10 minutes
- 57:05left. There was no way Purdue was
- 57:07going to come back in this game. Why?
- 57:09Because they couldn't stop Berries.
- 57:11They could not stop him even when they were calling time outs
- 57:15and their coach is one of the best defensive minds in all the
- 57:18college basketball. They couldn't contain him.
- 57:23And that ladies and gentlemen, and Pete was almost impossible
- 57:26to stop. It was just it.
- 57:29I was a flat out dominant play when it came to Arizona.
- 57:35Just completely wiped the smacketh out of the mouths of
- 57:39the Purdue Boil makers. I I don't boiler men
- 57:43Boilermakers. They're definitely boiling
- 57:45water, boiling tea, whatever they're doing.
- 57:48They're playing golf right now and wondering what did they do
- 57:51in the second-half that made them not show up to the
- 57:54second-half? Now, what happened was they
- 57:57missed way too many threes and they were open shots, so you you
- 58:01got to take them. But that also plays into the
- 58:03hands of them trying to not play the half court defense they have
- 58:05to play because they were stuck in a lot of transition
- 58:08opportunities, which benefits Arizona a lot.
- 58:10Now, I'm not saying Arizona's a super fast pace east team, but
- 58:13somebody a team that likes to drive to the hoop and shoot the
- 58:15mid range and obviously shoot foul shots as well as they do
- 58:17like Arizona doesn't doesn't like to shoot the three.
- 58:19The transition game kind of benefits them so that when they
- 58:22had that super fast run as quickly as they did, a lot of it
- 58:25has to do with them playing such a great transition game and such
- 58:28a great inside passing game to make that kind of thing work.
- 58:31And Purdue, if they play their traditional style of what Matt
- 58:33Painter likes to do and try to drive inside and slow the game
- 58:36down, then that kind of thing you could play even with.
- 58:39You could try to weather the storm and you're not going to
- 58:42get a run like that as big against them because Arizona was
- 58:44struggling shooting inside at the beginning.
- 58:46Arizona or Purdue was duping them into shooting threes at the
- 58:49beginning. They were duping them into
- 58:50taking those tough shots inside. And then they went away from it
- 58:54because they couldn't just get enough transition defense.
- 58:57And Arizona eventually just took off.
- 58:58At that point, you forced Purdue to have to play from behind,
- 59:00which is not really their strength.
- 59:02It's never really been that pain or strength is trying to play
- 59:04from behind when they're doing well with that.
- 59:08Even this team that has a really good potency of scoring depth,
- 59:10it just wasn't there. It was just disappeared all at
- 59:12once and it's just going to be hard to do.
- 59:14As far as Michigan goes, Michigan outside of really the
- 59:171st 5 minutes of games has been fine.
- 59:19Offensively. They struggled at the beginning
- 59:21of the Alabama game. Actually, I should say the
- 59:23Alabama game, they were, they were struggling much of the
- 59:25half. But besides that, it's really
- 59:28just been the slow starts. Besides that, they could play
- 59:30good transition all around. They have good size, big guys
- 59:32shooting the three too. Errol, it's not just a lot of
- 59:34guards, it's a lot of their forwards that could shoot the
- 59:36three very well with big size and they play really good
- 59:39defense. Tennessee was coming in with an
- 59:40offense that I wasn't sure about at the beginning of the
- 59:43tournament, but they played very well against Virginia, who has a
- 59:45good defense, and they played well against Iowa State, really
- 59:47dominated that whole second-half, but did not have it
- 59:50in that game. And they just really got lost
- 59:52when they fell badly behind. They just never recovered.
- 59:54You want to talk about like UConn never gave up, Tennessee
- 59:56looks like they gave up in that game once.
- 59:57I meant wasn't scoring in a lot of other things.
- 1:00:00And Illinois, I've questioned Illinois tournament defense all
- 1:00:03see all series long, all this tournament long because they
- 1:00:07were better than previous years. But it wasn't something that I
- 1:00:09was was sure about. They were stifling against
- 1:00:12Houston. 55 points. And then 59 points against an
- 1:00:15Iowa team that was scoring 70 plus throughout the tournament.
- 1:00:18They scored 73 in Florida and they were shooting the three
- 1:00:21like crazy. And Illinois had a very good at
- 1:00:22defensive game plans but stayed very disciplined.
- 1:00:25And it does a lot of credit. I'm going to tell you this,
- 1:00:26Illinois could absolutely win a national champions championship.
- 1:00:30They can. They played very well all all
- 1:00:32throughout the tournament of defense.
- 1:00:33They've been shooting the ball very, very well.
- 1:00:35I I was very impressed what they did to Iowa.
- 1:00:37Iowa has been playing at a high level.
- 1:00:40I didn't think Illinois was going to win to beat Iowa.
- 1:00:42I didn't. But hey, you know what?
- 1:00:44That's what you want to see. You want to see these surprise
- 1:00:47teams. I don't think on everybody's
- 1:00:48bracket, you would think that Illinois was going all the way
- 1:00:52to the Final Four out of. I didn't say they wanted
- 1:00:57National. Champions.
- 1:00:57No. You said they're going to win.
- 1:00:58No, I said. They can win a very.
- 1:01:00Capable of it if you look at their average margin of victory.
- 1:01:02This year, well, they're in the final four.
- 1:01:04Why couldn't? They and they've won every game
- 1:01:05by double digits. Why couldn't they?
- 1:01:07They got all the way over here. They hit some game-winning
- 1:01:10shots. Why can't Illinois actually pull
- 1:01:12off and win a national championship this year?
- 1:01:14We've seen crazier things. I I think there's, there's a lot
- 1:01:18of opportunity here for a team like Illinois to, to go all the
- 1:01:21way and not go a few con a national championship team and
- 1:01:24go to the national championship and wipe the floor with Arizona,
- 1:01:28who's never really won a big game.
- 1:01:30How many how many championships has Arizona won in the last 20
- 1:01:34years? This year.
- 1:01:36You're saying they're about to win, but they got to go through
- 1:01:39Michigan 1st and they're going to go through UConn.
- 1:01:43Illinois. Or Illinois.
- 1:01:44You can't take Illinois for granted.
- 1:01:46UConn going to beat the brace of Illinois because the UConn can
- 1:01:49pay no worse than they pay last game gets to.
- 1:01:52There's no way. Yeah, but they also did this
- 1:01:54with UCLA, too. UCLA, they were struggling
- 1:01:56mightily offensively. It was really just Caravan.
- 1:01:59You can't say, and I know Quinn, you, you have Arizona, so you
- 1:02:02have them winning at all. And if you want to patch
- 1:02:04yourself on the back, that's fine.
- 1:02:06That's great. What happens if Arizona loses
- 1:02:08against Michigan? Because it could happen.
- 1:02:10What if yes, just like dude, just like that.
- 1:02:13There was no chance in it really going into the second-half.
- 1:02:16I thought that Arizona's going to win that game against Purdue.
- 1:02:18They were playing like crap. They were playing like Doo Doo,
- 1:02:23OK? And then you predicted.
- 1:02:25You predicted that was going to transition into that game.
- 1:02:28Come on, Quinn. You did not believe that was
- 1:02:31happening. Quinn, you.
- 1:02:32Think that is luck, but this thing, these things happen.
- 1:02:35It is. Luck.
- 1:02:35People that show up, they play. It's about making shots play.
- 1:02:39It's nothing to do with all these other nuances.
- 1:02:41You're a data guy, so I understand why you feel that.
- 1:02:43But however it's about making shots.
- 1:02:46That's all it. That's.
- 1:02:47First of all, speedy's the data. There's no luck you you've been
- 1:02:51heavy or data lately. I no, actually I'm not the heavy
- 1:02:54data guy. I'm not the.
- 1:02:56Heavy data. Guy, I'm, I'm saying to you when
- 1:02:59I look at the, when I watch the tournament and I understand the
- 1:03:02tournament and watch and I, I'll be straight up honest with you,
- 1:03:06I don't really watch a lot of these teams until the last 3-4
- 1:03:09weeks of the season. And I'm going to tell you this
- 1:03:12right now, I and anybody that tells me differently that you
- 1:03:14watch college basketball religiously is a lie because I
- 1:03:18don't believe it. I do not believe anybody can
- 1:03:21sell me, unless you're a betting man, a handicapper like Jeff or
- 1:03:24Snug the Cat or anybody that sits there and they're
- 1:03:27pathological. There's no way you're going to
- 1:03:29tell me, oh, I've been watching Arizona all season long.
- 1:03:32I watch every one of their game because that's a lie.
- 1:03:35That is an absolute lie. You can watch it as many.
- 1:03:39People who do, how are you going to say this?
- 1:03:40A. Lot I'm I'm telling you that I
- 1:03:42know for a fact you didn't do it.
- 1:03:46I'm asking you, did you watch Arizona?
- 1:03:48No, but I know. That's what that tells us.
- 1:03:52Ladies and gentlemen, Quentin Couples knows.
- 1:03:55So that's what tells us. Ladies and gentlemen, the great
- 1:03:58Q, Oh God Almighty Q tells us. I stayed up late for you.
- 1:04:03Q and watch that, though. And I tell you what happened,
- 1:04:06Errol, my man Mr. Burries, shut them the hell down in the
- 1:04:10second-half. Hit 43 pointers, was everything
- 1:04:14for them. Loose balls like Josh Hart,
- 1:04:16diving, making plays, but has more offense than him.
- 1:04:19My goodness, this guy is going to be a steal for somebody in
- 1:04:22the draft. And Pete, I mean, I I'm reading,
- 1:04:25you know, some comps online, I just keep seeing Julius Randle,
- 1:04:28but like like that kind of like a playmaker at the Power.
- 1:04:32Oh, can't wait for him to be the bricklayer in this game.
- 1:04:34Yeah. That's right.
- 1:04:35The bricklayer against mission. But they don't have to go to him
- 1:04:38is the point because you saw the ball movement arrow, all the
- 1:04:41highlights of Arizona. The reason why they've been so
- 1:04:44successful is they pass the ball with the best of them.
- 1:04:47They just. Anybody that watch Ball, anybody
- 1:04:49that watch Ball knew Arizona was going to win this year anyway.
- 1:04:51So. But well, hold on a second the
- 1:04:53same way hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
- 1:04:55on one second. So what you're telling us right
- 1:04:58now is you did what everybody was doing, picking your champion
- 1:05:02because everybody else was picking their champion the same
- 1:05:05way you don't pick, you don't go and play.
- 1:05:07You do not go on the bracket and say, you know what?
- 1:05:10Everybody's picking Arizona to win.
- 1:05:12I'm picking Arizona to win. Is that what you did?
- 1:05:15I think that's what you did. You only think that's why,
- 1:05:18That's why you think the brackets are.
- 1:05:19Look, see, I actually talked to Hoopers.
- 1:05:21I actually talked. Oh, so so I don't.
- 1:05:23Talk to give me insight. Oh I'm sorry, not looking or not
- 1:05:27seeing. OK.
- 1:05:27Because you don't look at games at really we said the season, so
- 1:05:31therefore you wouldn't know what Arizona looks like because you
- 1:05:33only you only wait till the end of the season.
- 1:05:35Fans, are you listening to this garbage?
- 1:05:37Yes. Are you listening, fans?
- 1:05:38Ask them who's leading in the bracket.
- 1:05:41It doesn't matter who's. Leading in the bracket it does
- 1:05:44go ask the. Fans who lead in the bracket in
- 1:05:46the last two years go ask for what fantasy?
- 1:05:48Who cares? It's luck, it's luck.
- 1:05:52Doubt of this. It's luck.
- 1:05:54It is luck. It is 100% luck.
- 1:05:57I'm telling you before it happened, how does?
- 1:05:59That look, do you want me to? You want me to show you?
- 1:06:01Maybe you should read my article.
- 1:06:02Maybe you should read my article.
- 1:06:04Maybe I should throw you a curveball and you'll read the
- 1:06:06article. Because the article, I did my
- 1:06:08research. It's all about lock.
- 1:06:10As a matter of fact, 69%. Of the problem doing research
- 1:06:14and then you're going to say is lock.
- 1:06:15Yeah. Because you rely heavy on the
- 1:06:17research. Oh, all right, so let's hear
- 1:06:20what is just. Like before that shot we do, it
- 1:06:23was an 89% chance that dude was going to win.
- 1:06:25So let me ask you a. Question to show you research
- 1:06:28also showed that 134 games when our team is leading at the
- 1:06:32halftime about 10 to 15 points that they were going to win the
- 1:06:35game. So research shows me.
- 1:06:37That these guys are John Shire. Research also tells me that
- 1:06:41Arizona can't win the big game. That's what research tells me
- 1:06:45every single year, over and over and over again.
- 1:06:48They find a way to. Tell though, research also shows
- 1:06:51you that experience doesn't win, and experience teams don't win.
- 1:06:54Now, Quentin. Research doesn't sell nothing.
- 1:06:59I'm going to tell you this and you could go and look at
- 1:07:01statistics, data, or you got to have your thumb in your ass.
- 1:07:04That's not going to sell anything to me, OK?
- 1:07:07What tells me right now is when we go to break, I'm going to
- 1:07:09have to go to the bathroom. And there's another thing that
- 1:07:12sells me what research tells me. I could care less what everybody
- 1:07:16is giving you and all the information on social media,
- 1:07:18Your quote UN quote hoopers, because you know what those
- 1:07:22hoopers do when it comes down to their brackets?
- 1:07:24They go down and they hide. They hide under their desks when
- 1:07:28they're outside the bracket looking in because it's all luck
- 1:07:32anyways. I'm above the Dicks.
- 1:07:33I'm above the. Oh yeah, you're above I.
- 1:07:35Told. You don't worry, Quentin, you
- 1:07:36could go send our friend Carl some Michigan gear when they
- 1:07:39beat Arizona. Hugh's going to be hiding under
- 1:07:42his desk when the Celtics lose against the Knicks.
- 1:07:44No way get loose. He's going to be, he's going to
- 1:07:48be, he's going to be ducking and weaving.
- 1:07:55What New York did lost a double digit.
- 1:07:57Need stop. Wow, what a coincidence.
- 1:08:01They got this error. Isn't that funny?
- 1:08:03Really. Is that, is that how is that how
- 1:08:06we're going on this show? Because the commercial.
- 1:08:09Is that where we're going? I think we don't want to go that
- 1:08:12route. We got to talk about
- 1:08:13Stojakovic's kid on Illinois a little bit.
- 1:08:16That kid is for real. Andrei Stojakovic.
- 1:08:19Where are they talking about him going right now in the draft?
- 1:08:22Is he's been lighting? Up all.
- 1:08:23I've seen mid, I've seen mid. I've seen mostly 16 through 20
- 1:08:26with him. Kawhi Leonard.
- 1:08:27Yeah, like right there. So much depth in this draft,
- 1:08:30dude. So much it's.
- 1:08:33Going to be fun. I'm interested to see where some
- 1:08:35of these guys land. Anyways, My golf clap of the
- 1:08:37day. This deserves a golf clap, no
- 1:08:42doubt. Golf.
- 1:08:42Clap Golf. Clap.
- 1:08:46All right, ladies and gentlemen, my golf clap in a day.
- 1:08:48I don't even know if it's a golf clap.
- 1:08:50It could be my deuce of the day because it makes no sense
- 1:08:53whatsoever. The Golden Knights listen to
- 1:08:56this, their championship coach who won a Stanley Cup with the
- 1:09:02Boston Bruins, who they pride him away from the Boston Bruins
- 1:09:07to be and pay them a heavy amount of money.
- 1:09:10They fired him at the tail end of the season and who did they
- 1:09:15put in into his spots? And it makes no sense
- 1:09:18whatsoever. I, I like this guy.
- 1:09:19I, I root for him. I hope nothing but the best.
- 1:09:23John Tortorella becomes the new head coach of the Golden
- 1:09:28Knights. Now, John Tordorella won a
- 1:09:31championship. He won a Stanley Cup with the
- 1:09:34Tampa Bay Lightning. I, I, I mean, I, I love John
- 1:09:38Tordorella. I love everything about him.
- 1:09:39But everywhere he's gone, he's had problems with the locker
- 1:09:43room. Now you put him in a locker room
- 1:09:44with a bunch of veterans, talented veterans, and you are
- 1:09:48still in a playoff spot. How do you fire a coach when
- 1:09:51you're in a playoff spot? It makes no sense.
- 1:09:54And right now, go golden. The Golden Knights, as far as
- 1:09:56talent is concerned, probably is a top four team in the playoffs.
- 1:10:00Top five. They're as talented as any team
- 1:10:03going into the playoffs. Why would you fire your coach
- 1:10:06with what, 2 weeks left of the NHL season?
- 1:10:09It makes no sense. You know what this tells me?
- 1:10:13The Golden Knights are going to fall very, very short for a
- 1:10:17Stanley Cup championship this year.
- 1:10:19There is no way this team is going to win a Stanley Cup going
- 1:10:22in to the playoffs with a guy that has not been behind the
- 1:10:26bench as the head coach all season long.
- 1:10:29So my Golf Club of the day goes to the non champion Golden
- 1:10:35Knights because they're not winning nothing this year.
- 1:10:37So golf clap it, golf clap it beautiful.
- 1:10:40Thank you. Thank you very, very much to the
- 1:10:42Golden Knights. Because no matter who the Golden
- 1:10:44Knights play, if they move into the next round or even the the
- 1:10:48Wester Conference championship, which they don't have any
- 1:10:51chance, I'm going to tell you, you could book it.
- 1:10:52They're probably getting eliminated in the first round,
- 1:10:54bringing John Tortorella because all he believes in his defense,
- 1:10:57defense, defense and half these guys don't even know what
- 1:11:00defense is. So, I mean, Mitch Marner played
- 1:11:03defense. Yeah, that's going to work.
- 1:11:06If I go through their roster right now, they have probably
- 1:11:08one of the best offensive defensive forwards in all of
- 1:11:12hockey. And then the rest of the team,
- 1:11:13there's a lot of questions to the roster and, and what they
- 1:11:16play and how deep they play. And the goaltending has been up
- 1:11:19and down all season long. So a lot of questions for the
- 1:11:22Golden Knights and John Tortorella is not the answer as
- 1:11:24far as I'm concerned. When we come back, ladies and
- 1:11:27gentlemen, we're going to be talking to 2026 NFL Draft
- 1:11:30prospect Kent State defensive lineman Bonnie Davis.
- 1:11:34But first, our sports minute with Fish.
- 1:11:39Is a New York sports loud mouth sports minute.
- 1:11:45All right, guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sports minute.
- 1:11:47Got a couple of stories here before we get into the sport.
- 1:11:50The scores tonight. The Buffalo Sabres welcome
- 1:11:53defenceman Ramses Dolan's fiance Carolina Matkovic back at Key
- 1:11:57Bank Arena in Buffalo last week for the first time since her
- 1:12:01emergency heart transplant last offseason.
- 1:12:04Dolan, who is second in points with Buffalo this year with 65,
- 1:12:07reported the training camp and disclosed the seriousness of the
- 1:12:10health emergency that they suffered together while
- 1:12:13vacationing in France earlier in the offseason.
- 1:12:16Mackovic was finally able to travel to Sea Doll and the
- 1:12:18Sabres play a key hurdle in her recovery as travel has been
- 1:12:22limited since her surgery, which reportedly led to her being on
- 1:12:25life support for weeks, requiring CPR multiple times
- 1:12:29before the surgery which saved her life.
- 1:12:31Despite making a few brief trips back to Sweden to be with
- 1:12:34Makovic, Dolan has helped lead the Savers, who have been red
- 1:12:38hot in the second-half of the season, to a tie for first in
- 1:12:41points in the Eastern Conference with the both Lightning and
- 1:12:43Hurricanes with 98. But those teams do have a game
- 1:12:46in hand on Buffalo. The Sabres host the Islanders,
- 1:12:48who are also fighting for their playoff lives, tomorrow night.
- 1:12:52Browns general manager Andrew Berry says that a recent tweak
- 1:12:56to Defensive Player of the Year and new single season sack gang
- 1:12:59Miles Garrett's contract does not indicate that the team is
- 1:13:03intent on moving him in a trade, despite all the media
- 1:13:06conjecture. In a report by ESPN's Field
- 1:13:09Yates, the contract language was altered for when Garrett would
- 1:13:12receive his roster bonus from the 15th day of the league year
- 1:13:15in March to just seven days before the start of the regular
- 1:13:18season in August. This change allows the Browns to
- 1:13:22spread a dead cap hit from trading the superstar
- 1:13:24potentially at least over two seasons rather than one, which
- 1:13:28would make it impossible for them to trade them.
- 1:13:30Despite this move, which clearly makes Garrett more tradable for
- 1:13:33the franchise in a continuous rebuild, GM Andrew Berry refuted
- 1:13:37the ESPN commentary stating if we wanted to trade Miles, we
- 1:13:41wouldn't have needed to make a contract adjustment.
- 1:13:43So it doesn't have anything to do with that.
- 1:13:45Miles is a career Brown. He is one of the faces of our
- 1:13:48organization. I think we've been very clear
- 1:13:50both past and present in terms of our feelings.
- 1:13:52I understand all the questions and I'll be honest, I don't
- 1:13:54really want to waste a ton more breath on the topic.
- 1:13:58So despite what fans around the league coming up with trades for
- 1:14:00the superstar stuck in Cleveland, it appears that at
- 1:14:03least with Barry in charge, Garrett is going nowhere,
- 1:14:06probably in more ways than one, but Barry may not be there for
- 1:14:10long. So the trade will be something
- 1:14:12we'll pay attention to going forwards.

- 1:16:18sports loudmouth, ladies and gentlemen, we are now talking to
- 1:16:21an NFL draft pick and he's going to be a nice one for the 2026
- 1:16:27NFL Draft, Kent State defensive lineman Jelani Davis.
- 1:16:32Jelani, what's up, buddy? We're good, man.
- 1:16:37I mean, you look pretty good. I mean, you're excited and what
- 1:16:39we got three weeks away from maybe you being drafted in the
- 1:16:43top three rounds, maybe the last three rounds or maybe your first
- 1:16:47round talent and nobody knows about it.
- 1:16:50Right. So I mean, I'm trying to give
- 1:16:52you some hype here. I want the fans to love you.
- 1:16:55So I mean, Jelani, there's we have a defensive lineman that
- 1:16:59was drafted in the first round by the New York Jets, very high
- 1:17:03pick. He's sitting right over there
- 1:17:04and quitting Copos. What is it like getting ready
- 1:17:08for the combine? What is it like just getting
- 1:17:10ready for something that could change you and your family's
- 1:17:12life? It's not, it's, it's not just
- 1:17:18staying focused. I mean, that's, that's a big
- 1:17:20part on it. I mean, just just knock out all
- 1:17:24the X activities, you know, Cuz you know, going college from Pro
- 1:17:28is two different things, you know, just translating your mind
- 1:17:32to, to average to pro to college to pro.
- 1:17:37So my biggest thing, just staying focused and working.
- 1:17:41You got to, hey, it's not easy. You got to work.
- 1:17:45I, you know, it's, it's so interesting because I go back
- 1:17:47and forth. We, we speak to a lot of
- 1:17:49athletes and guys that were drafted in the NBA, guys that
- 1:17:52were drafting the MLB and the NHL and, and, and the questions.
- 1:17:55I always, I don't like throwing these questions out lightly
- 1:17:59because I was never drafted. I I was a good hockey player.
- 1:18:03Maybe in the future I would have been drafted, but that's a whole
- 1:18:06nother story. When you look at some of the
- 1:18:08talented guys that you're compared to.
- 1:18:10And there's a lot of good defensive lineman in this class,
- 1:18:13Reese coming from Ohio State, you have a kid from Miami, you
- 1:18:17have a another kid from North Dakota State.
- 1:18:20I mean, when you look at all these different defensive
- 1:18:22lineman and, and you, you compared and, and there are a
- 1:18:25lot of people compare you and contrast the type of style of
- 1:18:29player that you are. Is there a particular player
- 1:18:31that you would match up right now to you that's coming out of
- 1:18:35the draft? Or is there a guy that you can't
- 1:18:37compare to you and that's what makes you unique and different?
- 1:18:40Well, I'm more like a twitchy guy.
- 1:18:42I'm 6 foot 1280 so if I had to compare myself, you know, you
- 1:18:48know who I'm going for. Who's that?
- 1:18:51Aaron Donald. Really.
- 1:18:54I got to. Now everybody knows Aaron
- 1:18:57Donald's one of the hardest workers in the gym.
- 1:18:59This guy, I watch his workouts and I work out.
- 1:19:03So I, I'm, I'm serious when I, when I go out there and I'm
- 1:19:06trying to bench or I'm using dumbbells and I'm trying to put
- 1:19:09up one 10s or one 20s and this guy's putting up one 50s like
- 1:19:13they're nothing and he's putting them up 10 times.
- 1:19:15What type of guy, what type of training do you have to go out
- 1:19:19there and do to compare yourself to an Aaron Donald?
- 1:19:25Just like I said, just the mindset he got just no work,
- 1:19:28work, work, no excuses. I mean, 2A days, 2A days is more
- 1:19:32like to me now, one a day, I don't know if just big
- 1:19:37consistent is another one. He's very good at that.
- 1:19:44Yeah. Just like I said, just big
- 1:19:46consistent within on and off the field, even just when it come to
- 1:19:54the film room, know your opponent, know what to expect
- 1:19:58from your opponent. So so JD, let me let me hop in
- 1:20:04in there right. All right, So you say you
- 1:20:06compare yourself when you look at the family, you look at the
- 1:20:08family, you say you compare yourself that Aaron Donna.
- 1:20:11What what specific things that you think that you relate to
- 1:20:14when it comes to Aaron Donna? His get off, get off.
- 1:20:19Just get off for sure. His his his eye carnation in his
- 1:20:23hands. OK, OK, what what's what's your
- 1:20:27go to move right now? What what move you working on
- 1:20:29right now with my go to move? Probably a cross chop.
- 1:20:33OK, or a counter or a counter or a counter cross chop to a spin.
- 1:20:39OK, so your counter to the cross chop is a spin or or or a staff
- 1:20:44club RIP. I have a couple moves.
- 1:20:46Actually, I have like 10 in the back, but you know, when you get
- 1:20:49ready for a game or anything, you only need about 3:00.
- 1:20:53Well, yeah. Well, two, you need one.
- 1:20:55One, you open show, move that you're going to always use that.
- 1:20:59Can't nobody stop, you know what I'm saying?
- 1:21:01Like when you look at Reggie, Reggie White, it was a RIP and
- 1:21:04there was nothing that nobody can do about it.
- 1:21:06Each and every Sunday he lined up.
- 1:21:08Nobody could do nothing about it, you know, And there's
- 1:21:11certain guys got bin, some guys got after the build, some guys
- 1:21:14use long arms. You know, it just depends on the
- 1:21:16situation. So where you working out at?
- 1:21:19I was working on it at performance out in Dallas.
- 1:21:27I actually just finished two about two weeks ago.
- 1:21:30OK, I have started this last week just following weekend.
- 1:21:35What were some of your numbers? Tell the people some of your
- 1:21:37numbers that didn't get a chance to see you. 3030 vert 510-5472
- 1:21:48at 95 broad jump and I'm still waiting for the other number
- 1:21:51Dave and he gave me my other numbers yet.
- 1:21:54OK, Jelani, a lot of people want to know where you're eating at
- 1:21:57right now because I, I mean, I hear people in the background,
- 1:21:59is it Starbucks or we had a, a nice Chinese restaurant.
- 1:22:03What are we? What are we doing?
- 1:22:04About I don't even know where. I'm at it's crazy that you say
- 1:22:06that because I tried to find the the the the most quietest place
- 1:22:10in the airport. I'm in the airport now.
- 1:22:12OK, so I'm leaving Ohio. Where you going?
- 1:22:17Back back home, back to St. Louis, MO because that's where
- 1:22:20I'm from. I'm from St.
- 1:22:21Louis, MO. Oh, by the way, if anybody wants
- 1:22:23to know, we are talking a 2026 NFL Draft prospect, Kent State
- 1:22:27defensive lineman Jelani Davis. Go ahead, Speedy.
- 1:22:30Yeah, I was gonna ask about Saint Louis because obviously
- 1:22:32they had the Rams move from Saint Louis to LII was I
- 1:22:35actually wrote a college speech of why that wasn't going to work
- 1:22:37at La. Nobody cares about your college
- 1:22:39speeches. Tell an origin story for the
- 1:22:42love of God, what? Why can't?
- 1:22:44I I can't speedy. Go ahead, I.
- 1:22:46Was going to say, So what was it like with the football culture
- 1:22:48growing up in Saint Louis and what were some of your
- 1:22:50experiences like growing up both with football and with other
- 1:22:53sports you played? I know where I'm from, the 314
- 1:22:59is not, is not easy. You know, Saint Louis, you
- 1:23:03really heard bad about it. So you really don't hear no good
- 1:23:05about it. But coaching in Saint Louis, I
- 1:23:07mean the coaching I got, I went to, I grew up in the suburbs of
- 1:23:11Saint Louis. So it was very well, very, very
- 1:23:15disciplined. A very disciplined coach Where
- 1:23:19where, where you have to be disciplined and the guys around
- 1:23:21you have to be disciplined and also on the same page.
- 1:23:24So it was, it was, it was cool. You know, Jelani, we look at I
- 1:23:31watch football a lot, like strategically, I'm a terrible
- 1:23:34Jet fan and why I call myself a terrible Jet fan because I pick
- 1:23:38on The Jets because I'm just a terrible person.
- 1:23:41I, I just know The Jets are going to be bad every single
- 1:23:44year and I root for a terrible team.
- 1:23:46It's just, it's, it's just everything, everything is
- 1:23:49persistent in my lifetime when it comes to watching Jets
- 1:23:52football. Look, I root for Quinton Couples
- 1:23:54and he was drafted by The Jets. I mean no, but it's true.
- 1:24:00I I mean, I'm an honest guy. We're work in progress.
- 1:24:03Now you look at the New York Jets, and The Jets could always
- 1:24:07use a defensive lineman. If you were trying to sell
- 1:24:10yourself to the New York Jets to draft you, what could you tell
- 1:24:14The Jets fans? What could you tell The Jets GM
- 1:24:17and Mooji and Aaron Glenn before he falls asleep?
- 1:24:21What could you tell him or them how and why they should draft
- 1:24:25you? Come on, sell me Jelani.
- 1:24:28Sell. Me.
- 1:24:29Let him think, let him think. That's a great question.
- 1:24:32I wasn't ready for that one. No, but no, for real.
- 1:24:35If I if I had to, if I had the GM right here in my face and
- 1:24:39I'll tell him why or or yeah, why used to drive me a hard
- 1:24:45work. I don't ask no questions.
- 1:24:47I'm all about go go, go, go, go. I get I just want to get the job
- 1:24:50done or just even if it's special teams D line, like
- 1:24:54anywhere, like I'm just ready, like I just want to win coach
- 1:24:58like so if you feel like you can put me at this position, this
- 1:25:02position, special teams, I'm with.
- 1:25:06I'm just I'm more of a team guy. I think that's really why I
- 1:25:11would tell him him that it would be a good thing to draft me, a
- 1:25:14player like me, because I'm all about the team, all about
- 1:25:19winning. Come on, you got to be a little
- 1:25:20bit more sexy on this. I can help you out here.
- 1:25:22I mean, if I I'll pretend I'm Jelani Davis.
- 1:25:25You ready? Here's here's my take.
- 1:25:27You know I'm a. Hey Jelani, what can you do for
- 1:25:29The Jets? I'm I'm, I'm a, I'm a sexy guy.
- 1:25:32I got, I'm a sexy guy with my shirt off and my shirt on.
- 1:25:37I go out there, I'm a teammate, I'm a lover and I love
- 1:25:41everybody. That's what I'd say.
- 1:25:43And, and when I get in that game, I'm clothes lining people,
- 1:25:46I'm beating the hell out of people and people are going to
- 1:25:49show that I'm going to be eating every night after the game
- 1:25:53because I'm eating on the field. That's what I want to hear.
- 1:25:56Give me some power. Errol's first target would be
- 1:25:58Travis Hunter. Give me some power.
- 1:26:01You're a liability. You can't be closing on people
- 1:26:03no more. That's that's not legal.
- 1:26:05Well, I'm a liability everywhere I go, so I might as well close
- 1:26:07on people. Yeah, but you.
- 1:26:08There it is. That looks juicy it.
- 1:26:11Looks. Like a piece of meat.
- 1:26:12I like that. I like my chicken.
- 1:26:15Who you who you watching in this in this upcoming the draft that
- 1:26:19you believe you should be in front of?
- 1:26:21Because you know, as someone who played this on the side of Aaron
- 1:26:24Donnell, I'd be the first to tell you that he didn't believe
- 1:26:27there was nobody better than him.
- 1:26:29So since you're going to compare yourself to Aaron Donne, I want
- 1:26:32to know who in this draft that you believe that you got a leg
- 1:26:36up on and that you can actually beat out in the position.
- 1:26:40That's crazy because I got a couple talk to me.
- 1:26:45What's the what's the defensive tackle?
- 1:26:46That's, that's, that's he played the Navy.
- 1:26:50Landon Robertson Navy and land at the Navy, Yeah.
- 1:26:55Landon Robinson. Yeah, He played for Navy,
- 1:26:57Detective for Navy. Landon Robertson.
- 1:27:01OK, who else? He played for Navy.
- 1:27:05Yeah. Landon Robertson.
- 1:27:06I know you're talking about. It I got a.
- 1:27:08Thing I'm not too much educated about the D lineman that's you
- 1:27:14don't see no competition. No, I don't I don't really see
- 1:27:16none. I really don't, I really don't,
- 1:27:19especially just because, you know, I was in, I was in the G5
- 1:27:22conference or so you know, like, like I said, I was, I was ranked
- 1:27:27high like until like week 6-7 top 25 in the country for G5
- 1:27:33and, and, and they had me at like they had me at like 2120.
- 1:27:39And, and I'm just like, OK, he, you know, I'm saying politics
- 1:27:42positive at the end of the day, but when we turn that film on,
- 1:27:47it's nowhere near comparison. So what do you say to the
- 1:27:51people, you know, being that you played at a lower tier school,
- 1:27:56How how can people, you know, how can coaches, GMs, you know,
- 1:27:59when they ask you the question, how can can they trust you to be
- 1:28:03able to be dominant against guys that played in Power 5 and
- 1:28:07better schools and against grown men now that you're going into
- 1:28:10the NFL? Yes, Yes, I can because I've
- 1:28:14already experienced that this year.
- 1:28:15We played, we played three. We played three.
- 1:28:18Powerhouse. No.
- 1:28:20Yeah. Well, no.
- 1:28:21We played three top ranked teams in the country.
- 1:28:24We played Florida State, we played Texas Tech and we played
- 1:28:27Oklahoma. And during that time when we was
- 1:28:29playing them in the beginning of the season, they were all ranked
- 1:28:33top, top ten in the country. So for for that experience, you
- 1:28:41know what I'm saying? Like when you plan them them
- 1:28:44them higher schools, it's more about your technique.
- 1:28:48It's not like like the first game was Merrimack this year or
- 1:28:52last year and I had like a 93 PFF grade, A pass passwords
- 1:28:56grade. And then I can play Texas Tech,
- 1:29:00Oklahoma, I might have a 70. So it was just showing me how
- 1:29:05like you got to be more technical and born be in your in
- 1:29:09your notes and film like you have to watch film when you
- 1:29:12playing them guys. Then I know scrubs, like I said,
- 1:29:15they're technical and they discipline, discipline boys that
- 1:29:18that's on the mission just like me that listen to their coaches.
- 1:29:23Hey, worked your way up to that FSU game or that FSU game where
- 1:29:26you had five total tackles in that game, I believe.
- 1:29:28I think two of them were for loss as well.
- 1:29:30So like when you worked your way up to that and after the game,
- 1:29:34like what was it like facing A-Team like that and then
- 1:29:37realizing you had that kind of result and where it took you to
- 1:29:39that next level? It's crazy because I you know,
- 1:29:44you, you know, it's a kids dream to always go P5 or play AP5 team
- 1:29:49in this in this game. So I wasn't really like, I don't
- 1:29:53know, I didn't know how to take it at first, but it was it was a
- 1:29:57good experience. It was very different honestly,
- 1:30:00like after the game when I had whatever, I had like 5 seconds,
- 1:30:03you said one of the starting off this line that came up to me and
- 1:30:09was like, man, we literally game playing you for the whole week.
- 1:30:11Like like our coach told us, like you better guard this guy.
- 1:30:16And that game was a real awakening for me.
- 1:30:18Like I said in front of Merrimack game, I was getting
- 1:30:22triple teams back-to-back to back or double team back-to-back
- 1:30:25to back. So if I beat one guy, I got
- 1:30:27another one coming. So that's just like I said, I
- 1:30:30that that just taught me a lot because the game can get harder
- 1:30:35and harder and harder and harder.
- 1:30:37We are talking to 2026 NFL draft prospect Kent State defensive
- 1:30:41lineman Jelani Davis. Jelani.
- 1:30:43Now we watch the game and there's a lot of stuff we we
- 1:30:47understand about the game and there's a lot of stuff we don't,
- 1:30:49but we want to get to know you as a person now.
- 1:30:53What's your favorite meal? What it what do you like to eat?
- 1:30:55What do you eat a certain meal before a game?
- 1:30:58Do you have some kind of ritual that you do before a game?
- 1:31:02Do you not wear underwear under your your pants?
- 1:31:05What do you do? What is Is there something out
- 1:31:08there that you do that nobody does that would make people
- 1:31:11intrigued to buy in to Jelani Davis?
- 1:31:15It's crazy saying that because every pregame or or a night
- 1:31:19before a game, I always get a salad.
- 1:31:21Like you know how like at the hotel they have like pasta,
- 1:31:26chicken, shrimp, all type of stuff.
- 1:31:28The whole 9. I I usually just have me a
- 1:31:31salad. I have me a salad with a apple
- 1:31:33juice and or water. Apple juice.
- 1:31:35With a salad, I mean, interesting.
- 1:31:38Apple juice with salad. I've been doing it for the last
- 1:31:42four or five years I've been in college.
- 1:31:44You know, you know it's funny you say salad.
- 1:31:46I mean, Speedy loves toss salad, right?
- 1:31:48You like your salad? It's actually tossed.
- 1:31:51Salad. A salad.
- 1:31:56Crazy. Well, you know, we like to throw
- 1:31:58some curve balls at the old speedster, but Jelani, that's
- 1:32:02what I love. And I love people being honest.
- 1:32:04And there it is. You've got superpowers.
- 1:32:06I mean, you're in the next Space Jam, or we'll call it, we'll,
- 1:32:09we'll call it speed Jam because that's speedy has this new movie
- 1:32:13coming out with and he's he's the head, you know, counter
- 1:32:16partner of the cartoon character of Mickey Mouse and Minnie
- 1:32:19Mouse. But I, I want to, I want to get
- 1:32:22into your thought of the NFL draft and, and getting a chance
- 1:32:26to go to Pittsburgh or are you going to Pittsburgh?
- 1:32:28What are you doing? Are are you going to go?
- 1:32:30I, I, if you're not a first round draft pick, you're not
- 1:32:33going to get a chance to walk on the stage.
- 1:32:35Is there a particular place you want to be for this draft?
- 1:32:38Are you going to be with your family?
- 1:32:39Do you want to go to Pittsburgh and see the crazy fans and and
- 1:32:43get a chance to experience the the great part of the NFL draft?
- 1:32:47What What are your plans to do for the NFL Draft?
- 1:32:51You know, I wish I can go to the the draft in Pittsburgh, but you
- 1:32:55know, it's not politics. But for sure, I'm going to death
- 1:32:59be with my family, my mom and my and my close friends on a on a
- 1:33:05draft day because I'm going, I'm going, I'm going more third day
- 1:33:11UDFA. How many brothers and sisters do
- 1:33:15you have, by the way? I have two.
- 1:33:17I have two sisters. Two sisters, how old are they?
- 1:33:2121 and the other one's older than me, about six months, so
- 1:33:25she's 25. How old are you, Jelani?
- 1:33:28I'm 24. You're 24 years old, OK?
- 1:33:31You're a mama's boy, right? For sure 100.
- 1:33:33Percent mama's boy. All right, all right, so the
- 1:33:36reason why I ask you this question because I wasn't I
- 1:33:38wasn't a mama's boy and I wasn't a daddy's boy.
- 1:33:40So I was trying to find my way as a kid.
- 1:33:43So a lot of these people, a lot of these draft picks that I've
- 1:33:46asked over the years, they don't give me answers.
- 1:33:48Well, I'm a mama's boy and daddy's boy, all right?
- 1:33:50I'm a forced kid. That's why I wanted to ask you.
- 1:33:52So I mean, when you look at all your experiences as a young
- 1:33:57athlete moving now to a professional team, what has
- 1:34:02helped you grow up as a young student, a young athlete, and
- 1:34:06why do you believe you can transition into the NFL?
- 1:34:14A big part of me, which is really me growing up, was
- 1:34:19listening. You know, I was hard headed as a
- 1:34:21kid. I didn't, like I said, my mom
- 1:34:25was the only one. She's the only household like
- 1:34:29the only parent that really raised me.
- 1:34:32So, you know, I, I didn't really have no father figure in my
- 1:34:34life. So I kind of had to learn on how
- 1:34:37to listen and when to do this and when to do this and when to
- 1:34:40respond this and when to respond this and body language, you
- 1:34:43know, all that stuff matters. So I want to ask a three
- 1:34:48three-part question here. Quarter parts, I don't like
- 1:34:51these three-part. Questions.
- 1:34:52I'd up it from Josh. You did two-part questions.
- 1:34:54But. The quarterback you'd like to
- 1:34:56sack the most, the running back you would like to tackle the
- 1:34:58most, and the offensive lineman you would like to face the most
- 1:35:00in the NFL. If I had to pick quarterback, it
- 1:35:05would be definitely Patrick Mahomes.
- 1:35:08Running back. It would definitely be I like to
- 1:35:13tell us, I'll say Derrick Henry. Honestly, I like Derrick Henry.
- 1:35:17You want to hit Derek Henry out of all the running backs you can
- 1:35:20take him down. You want to hit Derek Henry?
- 1:35:24You want to start with the challenge.
- 1:35:25I just I'd rather get that wake up call now than later.
- 1:35:28Oh, that's a wake up call, let me tell you.
- 1:35:30I mean, there's like a train coming down that's.
- 1:35:32Listen, you got, you got. I weighed a hell. 33130 LB man
- 1:35:36in front of you that's going to give you all the wake up calls
- 1:35:39you need. Don't worry about getting when
- 1:35:41you get to him. That's going to be the easy part
- 1:35:45for sure. But if I had to pick online, it
- 1:35:50would definitely be the Eagles. That's like they have the best
- 1:35:52online in the league. Thank you.
- 1:35:54I thought you might would have said Trent Williams, and he was.
- 1:35:57He was going for all the heavy hitters.
- 1:35:59I mean, yeah, I mean. Even if he comes.
- 1:36:01Back this year. I mean, yeah.
- 1:36:04I mean, yeah. I got a cool question for you,
- 1:36:07Jelani. And by the way, we are talking
- 1:36:08in 2026 NFL draft prospect, Kent State defensive line and Jelani
- 1:36:12Davis. Johnny, If I had a a box of
- 1:36:15pizza with your favorite topping in the middle of the field and I
- 1:36:19had a nice juicy Turkey that just came out of the oven and
- 1:36:23you had to run from to one or the other and you need to get it
- 1:36:27before everybody else does, which do you want to go after
- 1:36:31the box of whatever topping of pizza you want or that nice
- 1:36:36juicy Turkey? And why pizza?
- 1:36:40A pizza box for sure, just because you got my favorite
- 1:36:43topping done. How do you compare pizza in a
- 1:36:46Turkey? Who doesn't like Turkey
- 1:36:48Thanksgiving? Nobody's running a Turkey.
- 1:36:51I'm running a Turkey. I'd rather eat the Turkey than
- 1:36:55I. So it's November.
- 1:36:56You can always have pizza. You know what always can get a
- 1:36:59Turkey. I mean, I'm going after the
- 1:37:01Turk. I'll pull on that Turkey.
- 1:37:05You don't like pull on Turkey? You don't like pulling on that
- 1:37:08nice beautiful meaty compression in my mouth, hey?
- 1:37:14Yo, that's crazy. Well, somebody, well, you know
- 1:37:25what I'm trying, I'm trying to open up Quinton Couples.
- 1:37:28You know, there's a like a Pandora box.
- 1:37:31It's like a box and it has like 1,000,000 locks on it.
- 1:37:35And I'm just trying to find the right key to open up the right
- 1:37:38part of Quinton Couples, as we call him Q, because sometimes he
- 1:37:42gets a little lost in that conversation just a little bit.
- 1:37:46We're trying to find it. I've been whipping him all
- 1:37:49night, so he's he's having a lot of.
- 1:37:50Oh, is that what it is? He's dealing.
- 1:37:53With is that what it is all right?
- 1:37:55From earlier today. All right, my, here's the last
- 1:37:57question, Jelani, because I know you're you're getting ready to
- 1:37:59jump on a plane, go to Saint Louis.
- 1:38:01All right, now this this is a great one.
- 1:38:03And by the way, everybody who doesn't know who we're speaking
- 1:38:05to, I'm just going to throw it out one more time. 2026 NFL
- 1:38:09draft prospect Kent State defensive lineman Jelani Davis.
- 1:38:13Here's here's a great question. All right, you're hanging out
- 1:38:18and you're listening to a track that's going to pump you up.
- 1:38:22OK, Either you want to knock somebody's head off or you want
- 1:38:25to run into a wall. What track are you listening to
- 1:38:30to get you hyped up to kill somebody?
- 1:38:36Come on, man, give me a good one.
- 1:38:39None of this little Wayne crap or Drake I want.
- 1:38:42I want something that's going to pump me up.
- 1:38:44I want to RIP their freaking heads off.
- 1:38:46Let's go. Good question.
- 1:38:52I don't want to say it, but like, I want to say NBA M Boy,
- 1:38:56but then I don't want to say NBA M Boy.
- 1:38:59It's a lot to go. I have to pick the NBA M Boy
- 1:39:02song Games of War for sure. His his master.
- 1:39:07His master album that he dropped like a few months back.
- 1:39:11OK, I would definitely pick that.
- 1:39:17I don't know. Come on man, I got.
- 1:39:21I got one for you. I got one for you before you
- 1:39:23know. Young, I mean, I I'd be turning
- 1:39:25all the different. Tracks.
- 1:39:25I got one for you before we let you go and I want you to finish
- 1:39:29it for me. You don't want to go, you don't
- 1:39:35want to go to war. Please don't sing, please don't
- 1:39:41sing this guy well, we know Quinn couples could never go on
- 1:39:47American Idol or the. It's all right.
- 1:39:55Jelani's probably going to be on that plane.
- 1:39:57He's going to be. Like he's going to be thinking
- 1:39:58about it. What the hell?
- 1:39:59Was he singing? It's crazy because he got me
- 1:40:02stuck right now. I'm thinking about it now.
- 1:40:03I'm stuck. I'm stuck too, and I don't want
- 1:40:05to think about it. Oh, man.
- 1:40:12Jelani, you're sensational. Keep up.
- 1:40:15Keep smiling, man. You, you have to smile.
- 1:40:17This is a great time for you. I mean, Quinton, all he does is
- 1:40:20smile And and I even smile when Quinton is always wrong.
- 1:40:23You know, I, I smile a lot of time when he's wrong.
- 1:40:25So there's something there's something to smile about every
- 1:40:28time he's wrong. I just smile.
- 1:40:29You know, it's great. It's a great thing to hear.
- 1:40:32But listen, you're a great young kid.
- 1:40:35I want you to do nothing, but I want you to play at a high
- 1:40:38level. I want you to to be in position
- 1:40:40to go to a right organization so you can grow and become the
- 1:40:43player that you want to be. And maybe an Aaron Donald.
- 1:40:46How how would that be? I mean, we interview Jelani
- 1:40:50Davis and he's the next Aaron Donald in the NFL.
- 1:40:53That would be a great story. Wouldn't that be?
- 1:40:55I mean, it's possible. I mean, I'd love to see it.
- 1:40:58I mean, I want to see you kick the hell out of somebody on that
- 1:41:00football field. And let let me tell you
- 1:41:02something, I'm going to give you some advice.
- 1:41:04Out of all the running backs in the NFL, you don't want to hit
- 1:41:07first. You do not want to hit Derrick
- 1:41:09Henry first. I'm just that's.
- 1:41:12Easy. Don't let him talk you.
- 1:41:13Don't, don't. He's a media.
- 1:41:17He's a media guy you don't want to you.
- 1:41:20Do not want to run into that chainsaw.
- 1:41:22Linebackers the secondary. They don't want no smoke with
- 1:41:25the. D line July The guy he really
- 1:41:27wants you to take down is Travis Hunter.
- 1:41:29That's well, that's that's a wide receiver.
- 1:41:31That's the. Ground you can go on a receiver
- 1:41:32reverse. I mean at any point if you want
- 1:41:34to hit him I'd give you a couple of 100 bucks if you want to kill
- 1:41:37close on that MO. Pull up on you.
- 1:41:41Dude, you think I'm afraid? Do you think I'm afraid of
- 1:41:44Travis the Gremlin Hunter? Do you really think you
- 1:41:48obviously don't know me? You do not know me.
- 1:41:52I play with him at at Jackson State.
- 1:41:53He is a dog. He is a.
- 1:41:55Dog, I'm a dog. I'm a dog.
- 1:41:59I can I, I bite your head off. Anyways, Jelani, we love you.
- 1:42:05Keep up the good work. You know?
- 1:42:06And and I I know you're friends with Nathan.
- 1:42:08Nathan is a good kid. Tell him to stop wearing that
- 1:42:11blue blazer. Keep that blue blazer away from
- 1:42:16him. Take that.
- 1:42:18What? Let's sell that blue blazer.
- 1:42:19Let's get rid of that Dick. I mean, it's it's one of the
- 1:42:21ugliest I've ever seen anybody wear.
- 1:42:23How does a guy wear a blue blazer and a red polo and
- 1:42:27camouflage pants? How does that work?
- 1:42:29You've seen this guy, the way he dresses.
- 1:42:31We got to help him out. Got to help this kid out.
- 1:42:34I got him. You got him all right.
- 1:42:36Tell me what you would get him. But first of all, I before we
- 1:42:38let you go, if you were to pick out a nice unique thing to stand
- 1:42:43out for, for niffing to go out in the public, go out to the
- 1:42:46draft this year, what would it be?
- 1:42:48I. Don't know, I might give him a
- 1:42:50Nike tech just to start. Off.
- 1:42:52I like that, all right. I like that I.
- 1:42:55Like that All right, it's a. Start.
- 1:42:57You know what I'm saying? Just a start.
- 1:42:59I think it's the warm up, then we go to, then we go to Khakis
- 1:43:01Kapolo. Shirt all right.
- 1:43:04Then we go to there. No moccasins, none of those.
- 1:43:09I mean, I think moccasins because.
- 1:43:11I'm not educated on that one. Yet no, no moccasins.
- 1:43:14I mean, niffens one of the he likes the open toes.
- 1:43:17He likes going out in the open toes.
- 1:43:18He likes that air hitting his toes.
- 1:43:20He loves the air hitting his toes, right, Nathan?
- 1:43:23I know he's in the back there. He knows it.
- 1:43:26And by the way, Nathan needs some style too in the back.
- 1:43:28I mean, he looks like he's in a jail cell.
- 1:43:30He has no pictures in his house. I mean, he's got nothing to look
- 1:43:33at. There's nothing to look at.
- 1:43:35It's just Nathan right there on a bare ass wall.
- 1:43:39Thank you, Jelani. Thank you man for your time man.
- 1:43:41Appreciate you coming through for.
- 1:43:43Having me for real, Jelani, you're, you're absolutely
- 1:43:45fantastic. Thank you for joining us and
- 1:43:47when when you get drafted, we'll get you on the show.
- 1:43:50We'd like to hear your take on wherever you go and keep up the
- 1:43:53good work and keep working, man I.
- 1:43:56Appreciate you guys already bro. Jelani Davis, ladies and
- 1:44:00gentlemen. Ken State, defensive lineman,
- 1:44:03young and improved. I'm trying to open up the kid.
- 1:44:07I mean, people have to understand something.
- 1:44:09I don't know if anybody understands how to interview
- 1:44:11people when people have nothing to say.
- 1:44:13You got to bring it out of them. You got to draw it out of them.
- 1:44:16It's like, it's like pulling the spleen out of I don't know if
- 1:44:20you can do that, but I mean something.
- 1:44:22You got to pull something out. I mean, Speedy, like if you want
- 1:44:25to give Speedy a wedgie, you pull out his underwear.
- 1:44:26You know those kind of things, right?
- 1:44:28Speedy, you're old. No wedgies.
- 1:44:30No, I'm a freaking 13 year old kid.
- 1:44:32Has anybody given you a wedgie? No, nobody's giving you a
- 1:44:35wedgie. No.
- 1:44:36How about like an early early bird special?
- 1:44:39Have you ever got one of those? No, you've never had an early
- 1:44:41bird special. Nobody's ever given you.
- 1:44:43No, I figured I I mean, it's who would give Speedy an early bird
- 1:44:47special? I mean, somebody needs to hide
- 1:44:50from this guy if he's never had an early bird special.
- 1:44:53I mean, serious. Somebody needs to shave that.
- 1:44:55Anyways, that was Jelani Davis. It was sensational.
- 1:44:59And we do have to go to inside baseball.
- 1:45:01Now let's go deep, deep inside what I am excited.
- 1:45:06This is inside baseball. And let's start with the Yankees
- 1:45:10sweeping the Giant start the season.
- 1:45:14So just going through the Yankees get all three of those
- 1:45:17games. We've got game one freed on
- 1:45:21Friday. I'm sorry, on Wednesday night.
- 1:45:23We already talked about it. Pam Schlittler 3, nothing.
- 1:45:26Win Game 28, strikeouts and then Game 3.
- 1:45:30Aaron Judge hit his second home run in two straight games and he
- 1:45:34hit an ambulance out in left field.
- 1:45:36Another easy 31 win the pitching one run in those three games to
- 1:45:41start. I love what I've seen with the
- 1:45:43pitching. We, we expected the pitching to
- 1:45:45be elite. Rodon we haven't seen yet and
- 1:45:48we're going to see this pitching staff really become elite when
- 1:45:51Garrett Cole gets gets in this rotation probably around June,
- 1:45:54mid June. I expect the Yankees to be one
- 1:45:57of the best pitching Staffs in baseball.
- 1:45:58Top three, maybe top four depending on every how
- 1:46:01everything falls. Schliedler was the most
- 1:46:03impressive out of all of them, five and and a half innings he
- 1:46:07played, he pitched very well, 8 strikeouts.
- 1:46:09And, and I I'll say this, the Giants roster and their the
- 1:46:12lineup is not the greatest, but this is a Major League roster
- 1:46:15and, and how dominant he looked in five innings was very
- 1:46:19impressive. And we've seen enough of
- 1:46:21Schlittler last year, especially in the playoffs, what he did to
- 1:46:23the Red Sox to know that this guy has the stuff to be a number
- 1:46:26one and #2 on this rotation and, and Max Freed is sensational.
- 1:46:30And the one thing that scares me right now is Aaron Judge.
- 1:46:34I know he had two home runs, but throughout this this series, he
- 1:46:38was not hitting over 200. It, it was very scary.
- 1:46:42And I know it's early and I expect Aaron Judge to pick up
- 1:46:45and I, I expect him to hit over 50 home runs if he's healthy and
- 1:46:48he's, he plays over 150 games like he did last year.
- 1:46:51I expect Aaron Judge to have over 100 and 15120 RB is and I
- 1:46:55expect him to be up for an MVP. It's just alarming that he had 4
- 1:46:59strikeouts and he was over 5 in the first game and he's been
- 1:47:02playing catch up really throughout the first three
- 1:47:05games. Giancarlo Stand is hot.
- 1:47:07I I love what I see with him. He's proving that his elbows as
- 1:47:11as of right now is not going to be a problem.
- 1:47:13And the lineup is hitting. They're hitting consistently and
- 1:47:15that's what we want to see. But again, it's early.
- 1:47:18It's only three games in, but it's impressive what we've seen
- 1:47:20with the New York Yankees, Yeah. Historic marks for the pitching
- 1:47:22so far and you mentioned Schlettler being the most
- 1:47:24impressive. I definitely agree with that.
- 1:47:25Is cutter is really entering another dimension to you're
- 1:47:27seeing some of these other off speed pitches really getting and
- 1:47:30going. That's how you want to develop
- 1:47:31as a pitcher. Like you can throw hard all you
- 1:47:32want, you can dominate in a small sample size all you want,
- 1:47:35but you want to be able to develop that secondary stuff.
- 1:47:38That was why we're talking. We'll talk about the Mets in a
- 1:47:40bit. And Nolan McLean was getting a
- 1:47:41lot of hype in the World Baseball classes.
- 1:47:42He had five pitches that were being used and even Skeens using
- 1:47:455 pitches. That's the next level that
- 1:47:47Schlittler is going to do to be just as good as them possibly
- 1:47:50down the road. And like you said, free to.
- 1:47:51I think he's better. Than he possibly.
- 1:47:53Could be You're going to say that Schlittler, after his first
- 1:47:55game, didn't look better than all the pitches the Mets had
- 1:47:58out. Oh, absolutely.
- 1:47:58And I mean, he was unbelievable. And you get another level.
- 1:48:02Obviously with Max Free, he's going to have to pitch extra
- 1:48:04burden when other guys are hurt right now, but that's all all,
- 1:48:07all obviously a very good start to the season in that lineup.
- 1:48:09Yeah, Judge is concerning, but he has a small.
- 1:48:11Story. The only thing we worry about
- 1:48:12Max Freed is his blisters. Sure, as long as the blister
- 1:48:16situation doesn't hurt him this year, Max Freed is going to be
- 1:48:19an elite pitcher. And when Could you imagine when
- 1:48:21Garrett Cole comes back? Think about this.
- 1:48:23Garrett Cole is one of the best pitchers in baseball.
- 1:48:25He's been out for a year and 1/2 he comes back.
- 1:48:27He doesn't have to be the number one guy anymore.
- 1:48:29He could be the number three guy.
- 1:48:31Garrett Cole is your number three guy.
- 1:48:33I you're talking about the best rotation in baseball.
- 1:48:36So there's nothing to complain about what we've seen and what
- 1:48:39we're watching with the New York Yankees as long as it is
- 1:48:42consistent and we expect them to be consistent all season long.
- 1:48:46Yeah. So just to add on to it, there
- 1:48:48is one thing that's like an elephant in the room and it's
- 1:48:51Spencer Jones. Spencer Jones hit a 109.1 mile
- 1:48:55an hour home run the other day at AAA Scranton.
- 1:48:58Wilkes Barre. He's down there with Jason
- 1:49:01Dominguez, who's getting regular playing time because his defense
- 1:49:04wasn't good enough. Errol.
- 1:49:07I mean, the Yankees can go undefeated all they want, but
- 1:49:09they got, it appears, another legit bat just sitting there
- 1:49:14waiting to come. Come on, guys, everybody wants
- 1:49:16it. Quentin likes to put his hands.
- 1:49:18Up. I was right.
- 1:49:18It was right. Well, I'm going to tell you what
- 1:49:20I am right about Spencer Jones. I, I told people years ago when
- 1:49:25they drafted him in the first round.
- 1:49:27I don't know if he's Aaron Judge, but his ability to be a
- 1:49:32512 player, he can steal, he can play multiple positions in the
- 1:49:35outfield. He can even possibly play first
- 1:49:37base. He's got an unbelievable arm in
- 1:49:41the outfield and he's got power, power all over Yankee Stadium.
- 1:49:45His bat fits Yankee Stadium now. He's hitting like Otani, his
- 1:49:48swings like Otani. He's he's really just power
- 1:49:51batting the ball all over the place.
- 1:49:53There is no way Brian Cashman is going to keep him out of this
- 1:49:56lineup as the as the season moves forward.
- 1:49:58This guy is an elite player and he could win rookie of the year
- 1:50:02this year. I told Fish and I'm telling you
- 1:50:04guys, if he gets cold up in the next two or three weeks and he
- 1:50:07gets a chance to play in this lineup, I believe this guy could
- 1:50:11be the rookie of the year for the New York Yankees and
- 1:50:12throughout the league. He is special.
- 1:50:14I said it and I'll say it again. Book it, seal it and whatever
- 1:50:18you want to do if you want to beat somebody up with soap, and
- 1:50:21I sometimes want to do that to Speedy, Yeah, I absolutely
- 1:50:24believe that Spencer Jones is the guy.
- 1:50:27You know, it's interesting is he's blocked by a couple of
- 1:50:31major leaguers and Qi know you told you told us when you
- 1:50:34followed your career, you were on a really stacked D line.
- 1:50:38And they try, they kind of try to put you out of position a
- 1:50:40little bit. I was wondering if you can kind
- 1:50:42of relate to the issues of this guy who's clearly like ready for
- 1:50:46the big time and they're just kind of holding them back.
- 1:50:48Yeah, that's that's something that coaches do.
- 1:50:51They make, they try to make these game time decisions or
- 1:50:54these decisions when they feel like it's necessary.
- 1:50:56But just listen to you guys and watching the kid, I think he has
- 1:51:00an opportunity, like Errol said, to be special.
- 1:51:02But if he's down there and he's not into this line up soon, you
- 1:51:06know, that can weigh in on him. You know, being able to be that
- 1:51:09good at that level and be elite talent and not being able to
- 1:51:13showcase it. You can start creeping into his
- 1:51:15head that he's not good enough and that could slow his speed
- 1:51:17up, his speed down from where he's going.
- 1:51:19I will also say something about Spencer Jones that I've learned
- 1:51:22about him over the last couple years.
- 1:51:24A lot of people have thrown him out.
- 1:51:26A lot of people have given up on him.
- 1:51:28As a matter of fact, Yankee fans were like, we'll trade him for
- 1:51:30him, We'll trade him for that person, we'll trade him for that
- 1:51:32person. Now all of a sudden, the Yankee
- 1:51:34fans see what type of special player he is and we're like, we
- 1:51:37got to call him up, we got to get him up, we got to see what
- 1:51:40he could do, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:51:42That's all it is. And I'm going to tell you guys
- 1:51:44this right now. If you're a Yankee fan and you
- 1:51:46want to see Spencer Jones, you're going to get a chance to
- 1:51:48see him very, very soon because there's no way in hell Brian
- 1:51:51Cashman is going to keep him out of the league.
- 1:51:53And he's 24 years old. Aaron Judge came up in his
- 1:51:56rookie season in the middle of the season at 24 and the year
- 1:52:00after he was rookie the almost won the MVP at fifty home runs.
- 1:52:04I'm telling you right now, this kid is not Aaron Judge, but he
- 1:52:08is a guy that I could see forty home runs, 100 RB is he's going
- 1:52:12to give you a steady outfield glove and an unbelievable and he
- 1:52:16could steal 2530 bases for his guy.
- 1:52:18For a guy his size, this guy's 6 foot seven.
- 1:52:20He has the speed of a Jacoby Ellsbury.
- 1:52:23That's how fast this kid is. He's fun to watch, I'm telling
- 1:52:26you. All right, let's move to the
- 1:52:28other team in the city and talk about the Mets.
- 1:52:31They they started off with taking two of three from the
- 1:52:34Pirates. They blew Sunday's game in.
- 1:52:36Ex Make her squirt, make me jerk.
- 1:52:39Well, I guess that's what they did.
- 1:52:41We do know that Nathan has Stearns on Alicia, as we know,
- 1:52:44but it didn't work out so well. Already a couple of issues.
- 1:52:48At least. Yeah, the athletes are
- 1:52:51struggling. Beau Bichette getting booed at
- 1:52:54home already, one for 14 with an error in the field.
- 1:52:58Jorge, they said tonight he like kind of grounded over a couple
- 1:53:02of balls that he usually drives. Jorge Polanco, your first
- 1:53:06baseman, is already an exclusive DH playing through an Achilles
- 1:53:10issue. They gave Robert a day off
- 1:53:13trying to keep him healthy, and they put Beatty in the outfield
- 1:53:17tonight, guys. So Beatty is now going to have
- 1:53:19eligibility, probably at every position in fantasy.
- 1:53:23I will tell you about Beau Bouchette.
- 1:53:24I've told everybody when you move a guy out of position to
- 1:53:28start a season, it's going to throw him off.
- 1:53:29It's going to throw his bat off and that's what you're seeing
- 1:53:32right now with Bobochette and now the fans are booing him.
- 1:53:34So we've seen this before with New York fans.
- 1:53:36We've seen it with the Yankees and we've seen it with the Mets.
- 1:53:38It doesn't bold. Well, now Bobochette, it's still
- 1:53:41early in the season. He's going to find a way to get
- 1:53:44back into the fans good graces. But this is not a good sign.
- 1:53:48As far as Jorge Polanco, it made no sense.
- 1:53:50David Stern's bringing him in and giving him an extension or
- 1:53:53giving him a two year deal. It made no sense why they did
- 1:53:56it. I understand that you're trying
- 1:53:57to fill in spots and they lost Pete Alonzo.
- 1:54:00You wanted to add or power into the lineup because this guy had
- 1:54:0320 something home runs. This isn't Pete Alonzo and he's
- 1:54:06not a first baseman, so you're putting him at first base.
- 1:54:09Makes no sense. And now he's a designated hitter
- 1:54:12with an Achilles problem. David Stearns right now is right
- 1:54:16now on the hot seat. I'm telling you right now,
- 1:54:19everybody keeps talking about Mendoza.
- 1:54:22Oh, he's a bad manager, he's a bad dad.
- 1:54:24He's a bad dad, he's a bad dad. How about the GM?
- 1:54:27What the hell has he done right? Why?
- 1:54:29The only thing that's hiding right now is some of the players
- 1:54:32that weren't supposed to start off this season strong that are
- 1:54:35playing OK and and they're two and one, so nobody's complaining
- 1:54:39about it. But if you're a Mets fan, you
- 1:54:41can't be excited to see what this team is is putting out
- 1:54:45there early in the season. Yeah, I think there's other
- 1:54:48concerns with how long these games have gone.
- 1:54:49So you don't ever want to wear on a bullpen this early in the
- 1:54:51season either, especially because the Pirates, I know the
- 1:54:53Pirates offense is supposed to be better on paper this year
- 1:54:56than it was last year, but still, you're going to have to
- 1:54:58go in all these extra inning games.
- 1:54:59You had the high scoring game, that opening day game and then
- 1:55:01two back-to-back low scoring games.
- 1:55:03The starting pitching is doing enough and they're getting worn
- 1:55:05out. They're winning still most of
- 1:55:07the games besides yesterday, but still.
- 1:55:08How about your race? How about Perolta not pitching
- 1:55:10well in his first game? Yeah, that's that's alarming.
- 1:55:12I was referring but the other two games.
- 1:55:14I'm just saying that's alarming. You traded away 2 top prospects
- 1:55:18and his first game with the New York Mets was not a good one.
- 1:55:21No, the other two, the other two games had good starting pitch.
- 1:55:24He just had long enough bullpens and then the offense
- 1:55:26disappeared. And yeah, Bichette's been a big
- 1:55:27problem. He had the SAC fly in that first
- 1:55:29game, but besides that, it was really not look good at all.
- 1:55:31Polanco, yeah, they're going to have to kind of be a platoon
- 1:55:34roll with him essentially with playing matchups with the DH was
- 1:55:36going to be hard enough to do as it is.
- 1:55:38And hopefully he could transition back to defense if
- 1:55:40there is other issues with injuries in the infield because
- 1:55:43Bichette is in addition to struggling, he's also an injury
- 1:55:45prone player too. And you wonder with some of
- 1:55:47these older guys if they're going to be able to hold up.
- 1:55:50You ever wonder sometimes about guys that are these GMs and they
- 1:55:55put together these super teams on paper queue.
- 1:55:58I, I've remembered like the Cowboys, the Eagles had that
- 1:56:01dream team that one year that was garbage, you know, and I
- 1:56:05loved, you know, they fell apart, right?
- 1:56:06Away. Dream on, Team Fish.
- 1:56:08The Dream On team, yeah. You know, listen, I can't but
- 1:56:11too much pry with the Eagles. They've won recently, but I'll
- 1:56:15say this like I really think Stearns is getting.
- 1:56:19Exposed. How do you feel about some of
- 1:56:22those GM's that have these paper championships?
- 1:56:25It's stacked in a lot of times when people don't realize that
- 1:56:28professional sports, it's about putting people in the right
- 1:56:30position so they can actually flourish and putting and
- 1:56:34building chemistry on much superstars versus just getting a
- 1:56:38bunch of talent and throwing it on the field and expecting it to
- 1:56:41come with results. So a lot of times guys with
- 1:56:45greater talent comes with ego as well.
- 1:56:47So you got to be able to manage that.
- 1:56:48You got to be able to manage the talent you got to make.
- 1:56:50That ain't work. It's not just throwing eggs and
- 1:56:52powder in the bowl and said I'm going to make a cake.
- 1:56:54Like there's other things that you got to add to it.
- 1:56:56There's more nutrients, there's vanilla, there's all kinds of
- 1:56:58things that you got to add to it and make perfect cake or to
- 1:57:02bring it to fruition. So I think that, you know,
- 1:57:05putting, putting all the talent on the same roster, it has its
- 1:57:08benefits, but if it doesn't gel, if it doesn't mess, there's no
- 1:57:11chemistry. I'm hungry.
- 1:57:13I haven't eaten all day because I'm getting a colonoscopy and
- 1:57:16you're going to mention cake. Thank you, Quentin.
- 1:57:19Thank you. OK, that's what we'll give you
- 1:57:22when you after you get finished getting your.
- 1:57:24Dude I've been on the bowl all show already.
- 1:57:27Every time we go to I'm running to the bathroom.
- 1:57:29I got to drink that orange crap before I go for a colonoscopy.
- 1:57:33My stomach is growling right now as we speak.
- 1:57:36I had a nice strip steak. Sucks for you.
- 1:57:37Thank you. Let's move on to Steve Kerr.
- 1:57:43Yes, Steve Kerr talking about baseball.
- 1:57:45Errol, get this. I know you haven't seen this
- 1:57:47one. Steve Kerr wrote a letter to the
- 1:57:50Blue Jays manager John Schneider, telling him just what
- 1:57:55a wonderful job he did for the game of baseball, managing
- 1:57:59against that juggernaut Dodgers in the World Series last year.
- 1:58:03Just praising him. And you know, Schneider, he saw
- 1:58:06the letter and he read it. He was like, I was like, holy
- 1:58:10SI, don't know you, Kerr wrote. But I felt compelled to reach
- 1:58:13out after watching your incredible leadership on display
- 1:58:17during the World Series. As you know, Kerr then compared
- 1:58:20it to when they lost to the Cavs in 2016.
- 1:58:23The pain in 2016 was real. But what always survives through
- 1:58:26the tough losses is the character and connection of the
- 1:58:29group. The loss won't define you the
- 1:58:31way you and your guys carry themselves afterwards will.
- 1:58:36Schneider got an extension for two years after this season.
- 1:58:40Schneider said. It was the message we've been
- 1:58:41preaching all offseason and spring.
- 1:58:43The rung was great and the heartbreak was real, but it's
- 1:58:45not going to define who we are. We all went through it together.
- 1:58:48What we're going to be defined by is how we persevere through
- 1:58:52it. Blue Jays undefeated to start
- 1:58:54the season. How real are they with this
- 1:58:59apparently getting the vote of confidence coach from future
- 1:59:03Hall of Famer Steve Kerr? Whoop Dee Doo.
- 1:59:06And, and honestly, I could care less what Steve Kerr is writing
- 1:59:11to a baseball, GM, manager or whoever.
- 1:59:15I could care less what Steve Kerr has to say about the Blue
- 1:59:19Jays. The Blue Jays didn't win.
- 1:59:21They didn't win. So you're you're giving them all
- 1:59:24the compliments in the world. Oh, you were so amazing.
- 1:59:27Oh, by the way, you, you choked in the World Series.
- 1:59:30You were up 32 and you choked against the Dodgers, the
- 1:59:33deferred Dodgers. Are you kidding me, Steve?
- 1:59:35I What are you trying to sell to me here?
- 1:59:37What are you trying to sell to me?
- 1:59:38Here's what I'm going to sell. Schneider has done a decent job.
- 1:59:43The Blue Jays are not winning the division this year.
- 1:59:45They're not. And here's the facts.
- 1:59:48What I have seen the Blue Jays do year in and year out, they
- 1:59:51bring players. They spend money on players and
- 1:59:53they throw money out there and it never sticks.
- 1:59:56You know what reminds me of what it's been reminded me of the
- 1:59:59Golden State Warriors over the last couple of years?
- 2:00:02They bring this guy in Butler, They bring this guy.
- 2:00:05They trade this guy. It never works.
- 2:00:07Steve, retire, please. Retire.
- 2:00:10I don't need him writing to any baseball manager or coach or GM
- 2:00:15how great an organization is because they lost in the World
- 2:00:18Series. Yeah, You're also judging a case
- 2:00:20of there's other teams in the past that have beaten them in
- 2:00:22the playoffs. Yeah, they weren't as loaded as
- 2:00:24maybe they were last year. But you're going to go write a
- 2:00:26letter to the Padres and the Diamondbacks and all the other
- 2:00:29teams that beat the Dodgers in the playoffs previously?
- 2:00:31Like, who cares? Like, why are you just singling
- 2:00:33out the Blue Jays? They didn't win.
- 2:00:35Make these shenanigan. You never won.
- 2:00:38It doesn't matter. Oh, you're great.
- 2:00:40You're sensational, but you lost.
- 2:00:41Yeah, great. You don't win.
- 2:00:43It doesn't matter. As as everybody says, winning
- 2:00:46only counts in first, not 2nd. And that's what the Blue Jays
- 2:00:50were. That's all I'm going to say.
- 2:00:52Sail a whale, sail away. And by the way, Steve Kerr
- 2:00:56complaining about how many games and how many practices he
- 2:00:59doesn't have and blah, blah, blah, because his team stinks
- 2:01:01now. So it's not about winning
- 2:01:03anymore. It's about making sure that his
- 2:01:04team is rested, highly rested. Please stop selling me something
- 2:01:09that doesn't make any sense. He does have Draymond.
- 2:01:13Yeah. Harold's other favorite.
- 2:01:14A guy that likes taking a picture of his crotch and
- 2:01:16putting on Snapchat. I don't know how you can get
- 2:01:19ejected when there's robots calling it, but it happened
- 2:01:24already. Twins manager.
- 2:01:26Was it Shelton? Is it not Blake Derek Shelton?
- 2:01:30Derek Shelton? Blake Shelton was ejected on
- 2:01:35Sunday for Ark, becoming the first manager in baseball
- 2:01:40history to be tossed for disputing the ABS challenge
- 2:01:43system. So the Orioles were trying to
- 2:01:46close out the game. Josh Bell, batting for the Twins
- 2:01:49was walked on a three two pitch. But Helsley the closer?
- 2:01:53Yes, for former Nets believer. Nets legend Brian Helsley S hits
- 2:01:59the head S for the challenge and it gets called strike three.
- 2:02:03He clips the zone. Shelton runs out to argue that
- 2:02:07Hellesley didn't initiate the challenge quickly enough, saying
- 2:02:11he must have challenged within around 3 seconds without getting
- 2:02:15assistance from the dugout as he went nuts.
- 2:02:19Laz Diaz and Chris Siegel threw his ass out.
- 2:02:24Here, here's the facts. These rule changes in what Rob
- 2:02:28Manfred, as Jabba would say, thinks that baseball needs to
- 2:02:32transition into is a bunch of crap.
- 2:02:35We've never had this. You cannot challenge a walk, you
- 2:02:38can't challenge a strikeout. The fact that they're doing this
- 2:02:41now makes no sense. It doesn't help baseball.
- 2:02:44You're trying to speed the game up.
- 2:02:45Why the hell are you trying to slow it down with these new
- 2:02:48rules? It makes no sense.
- 2:02:50It's complete rubbish. Stupidity, Rob.
- 2:02:54Retire everybody. Retire Steve Kerr, retire Rob.
- 2:02:57They can go out and play golf together.
- 2:02:59It's pathetic. I don't.
- 2:03:01I like it. I don't like these new rules.
- 2:03:02It makes no sense. Fish, I do appreciate the Derek
- 2:03:05Stolton publicity sign. Now that you mentioned that it
- 2:03:07was lats Diaz and Ryan Helsley evolved too.
- 2:03:09I would like to challenge them to make those two seem look
- 2:03:11stupid, but they look stupid in their own right because you're
- 2:03:13not going to win a robot at umpire debates.
- 2:03:16I just don't understand how you can even attempt this one
- 2:03:19though. Speedy like it's a robot.
- 2:03:21You put it in. Twitch aren't going to do
- 2:03:23anything anyway this year anyway.
- 2:03:25I mean, to have the nerve to say you didn't challenge fast
- 2:03:28enough, I that's just. This shouldn't be a robot.
- 2:03:30I mean, umpires, this has been around for over 100 a hundred
- 2:03:33years. Why are we changing the game?
- 2:03:35Why does this make sense? And you're trying to find ways
- 2:03:38to speed up the game. This slows the game down.
- 2:03:41It slows the game down when you're challenging things like
- 2:03:44this. Maybe in the playoffs.
- 2:03:46If you want to add this in the playoffs, that would make sense.
- 2:03:48This doesn't. It doesn't make any sense.
- 2:03:50Let's go to the last one, guys. We got one more left going right
- 2:03:54to it and it's some rookies to take a look at Errol.
- 2:03:58I'm going to just try to get a jump on the rest of sports media
- 2:04:01right now and tell you who you should be watching in Major
- 2:04:05League Baseball. Just coming into the league,
- 2:04:07there's two guys that have four home runs in three games, Jay
- 2:04:10Stellauder for the Guardians and Munateka Murakami, the Japanese
- 2:04:18for the White Sox. Then you got second baseman JJ
- 2:04:22Weatherholtz for the Saint Louis Cardinals.
- 2:04:25He's already there lead off hitter.
- 2:04:26He looks awesome. And also speedy shortstopper
- 2:04:30second for Mcgonigal. Shortstop Mcgonigal is
- 2:04:34everyone's been talking about. He was the guy that was the top
- 2:04:37guy coming into the league, into the the top prospect coming into
- 2:04:40the season. They all are guys to watch.
- 2:04:44Speedy was talking specifically about the Lauder as the guy he
- 2:04:48thought was going to be the top rookie this year.
- 2:04:50The Lauder looks like he's going to be special Murakami.
- 2:04:54He's got a wonderful name. Let me tell you.
- 2:04:56It's definitely it's right off the lips if you want to sound it
- 2:04:59out on that one. But Mick Monaco, whatever
- 2:05:02mechanical. It reminds me two of Mick Monaco
- 2:05:05over there at WFAN. So I don't like him already.
- 2:05:08I don't like him because of his last name, but I I the Lauder
- 2:05:12sounds like a sounds like a like Estee Lauder.
- 2:05:15So if if you like, if you like makeup, if you like makeup and
- 2:05:19you like the Lauder, go get yourself some Estee Lauder.
- 2:05:22What do you think, Speedy? I thought that's goody on that
- 2:05:25one. I think.
- 2:05:26He's he's the expert on more of that stuff and on his prospect.
- 2:05:30Listen, we don't know what these guys are going to be and, and
- 2:05:32right now it's early. We have to see how the game
- 2:05:34picks up and it's early in the season.
- 2:05:36Pitching, it takes it. It takes a while for these
- 2:05:39pitchers to warm up and gets warmer.
- 2:05:41Once it gets warmer, we're going to see these pitchers really
- 2:05:44play at a high level. Then we'll see how these guys
- 2:05:46can hit the ball and how they can compete against these top
- 2:05:49rotational pitchers. Was mentioning the Lauder last
- 2:05:51year when you and I had a three-way call with Goody as
- 2:05:54like some of the Guardians prospects they could call up and
- 2:05:56I thought he was one of them that could give him a spark in
- 2:05:58the second-half of the season. Obviously before we knew that
- 2:05:59they were to be hot as it was following the whole class.
- 2:06:02Of trot, right, sweetie? Hot to trot.
- 2:06:03I have no idea. Are you trotting Nathans
- 2:06:05department? Are you hanging Nathans
- 2:06:06department? Are you hanging, Nathan?
- 2:06:09I'm not talking about Nathan. Are you hanging?
- 2:06:10I don't know. Are you trotting from the from
- 2:06:12your ass to your face down? No, no.
- 2:06:14All right, I'll just ask. Yeah, De Lauder always had that
- 2:06:17kind of raw power ability, especially in that big park
- 2:06:20somebody that something they definitely need to go along with
- 2:06:22Ramirez and I think the kid Manzaro too that I think I have
- 2:06:24a bigger. You want to hang out with De
- 2:06:25Lauder's daughter? No.
- 2:06:26All right, I'm just. Asking Weatherholt was one that
- 2:06:29had a lot of hype last year too. Him being a lead off spot
- 2:06:31already, me showing he could transition easily.
- 2:06:34Mcgonigal, I wasn't as high as a #1 prospect as people thought.
- 2:06:37But again, another spark for the Tigers in that lineup.
- 2:06:39For a lot of veteran guys, a lot of younger in the infield.
- 2:06:42I think he's going to. Get I want you to roll that off
- 2:06:43your tongue. I want you to pronounce the
- 2:06:46Japanese kids name. Murakami, Murakami.
- 2:06:48Murakami. Murakami.
- 2:06:49No, no, I want a full name. Full name, full name.
- 2:06:51Good. See it full name.
- 2:06:53Minneteka. Minneteka Murakami.
- 2:06:55Say it three times in a second. Murakami, Minneteka Murakami.
- 2:06:57Minneteka Murakami. All right, I like that.
- 2:06:59And he's providing one of the few sparks that the White Sox
- 2:07:02have needed throughout the year, getting something to watch
- 2:07:03Maracami, some reason to go to the ballpark outside of those
- 2:07:06giant shakes that they have. That's how it looks like.
- 2:07:08Like a sex move. Maracami.
- 2:07:10Who wants to do a Maracami on? Me I guess Speedy is drinking
- 2:07:14the kool-aid on the Lauder. The Lauder thought right?
- 2:07:17One of the best. If you win, voice of reason.
- 2:07:23Estee Lauder. That's how you pick Arizona.
- 2:07:27Regardless, we'll see about that.
- 2:07:28We'll talk about more of that on Thursday.
- 2:07:30Speedy, as far as our final four picks, but just to finish this
- 2:07:34one up, you got these rookies, they're all high profile
- 2:07:36rookies. How hard is it as a high profile
- 2:07:39rookie to make an impact? Because everybody's looking at
- 2:07:42you come on, and you're the guy. Everyone heard your name all
- 2:07:46offseason. What's it like?
- 2:07:48Do you want to jerk me off? It's difficult, you know,
- 2:07:50because at the end of the day, you're stepping into a new
- 2:07:53arena. You're in the big leagues now in
- 2:07:55the majors. You got to try to win the locker
- 2:07:57room. You got to win the guys on the
- 2:07:59team, you got to win the veterans, you got to win the
- 2:08:01coaches. Like it's so much.
- 2:08:03It's a lot that goes into, you know, being a successful rookie
- 2:08:06and sometimes telling it enough. So it's a lot of pressure that
- 2:08:08they go into each and every game.
- 2:08:10You got to prove yourself. You got to live up to the hype.
- 2:08:13Even if you know circumstances or conditions isn't organized
- 2:08:16around you, you know, it is that nature.
- 2:08:18So I I believe this was one of those most difficult things for
- 2:08:21a Ricky, especially if you don't got a good fit in there in there
- 2:08:24that walk you through different things.
- 2:08:26Breaking news, I need Brittany also.
- 2:08:29All right, man, that is all for Inside Baseball.
- 2:08:33Well, there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:08:35You know, I I try to help Speedy out.
- 2:08:37I mean, Speedy, are you happy? Are you a happy young man?
- 2:08:39No, you're not happy. You're a mad person.
- 2:08:42You just hate the world. No, What?
- 2:08:44What? Why do you hate the world so?
- 2:08:45I don't. What do you do?
- 2:08:47Like, Like, why don't you think about your stupid freaking
- 2:08:49shenanigans all the time? I listen, man, I I think you'd
- 2:08:55be a great catcher than a pitcher, wouldn't you think?
- 2:08:59Yeah, throw it back your head. Are you a pitcher and catcher?
- 2:09:03What would you Whatever. Is easier for me to throw at
- 2:09:05your head. Pitcher.
- 2:09:07And catcher, whatever is easier for me to throw at your head if

- 2:09:57right there. All right, speedy verse, All of
- 2:10:05us Trivia. Let's.
- 2:10:07Get it going. All right, just for you and quit
- 2:10:09and I have to start off with Michigan's head coach Dusty May
- 2:10:12who becomes the 6th coach to wake a final four in both a
- 2:10:15power conference and a non power conference team named two of the
- 2:10:19other five coaches who have done that since 1970.
- 2:10:24I'm gonna need you to repeat that.
- 2:10:25One so Dusty May. He made the final four with FAU,
- 2:10:28now makes the final four with Michigan.
- 2:10:29He becomes the 6th coach since 1970.
- 2:10:31Make a final four with both a power five team and a non power
- 2:10:34five team. Named two of the other five
- 2:10:36coaches who have done that. Calipari.
- 2:10:38Calipari is one. Yeah, that.
- 2:10:40Was going is Pitino. Not Pitino.
- 2:10:42Providence is a Big East that's I got one for.
- 2:10:44Basketball Roy Williams. Nope.
- 2:10:47He was, it was power. I was going to say it, yeah, but
- 2:10:49he's. All right, so we only need one
- 2:10:51more. We only need one more and we
- 2:10:53each get 2 guesses or or one. All right, so we just get 2
- 2:10:56guesses. We got our interns Dom and Zood
- 2:11:00in the back as well helping us out.
- 2:11:02Good to see you boys. I got I got speeded power 5.
- 2:11:11One non power 5 we already. Said no, no.
- 2:11:15Biggie's for basketball counts as a power conference, so it's
- 2:11:18not. It's not Matino.
- 2:11:19How about I say it was about. All right, so the other one let
- 2:11:23me think, oh, it's going to be a random 1, isn't it?
- 2:11:27I only. Got one more guess too.
- 2:11:31One very random one. The other three names are pretty
- 2:11:33recognizable. OK.
- 2:11:38Jay, right? Not Jay, right?
- 2:11:44Did Bobby Knight take Army to a Final Four before Indiana?
- 2:11:48No. All right, so I'm out of
- 2:11:49guesses. Dana Altman.
- 2:11:53Not Dana Altman all. Right, you're at 2 Q.
- 2:12:00Tommy. I was trying to find the most
- 2:12:02random name. I if if it's the one that was
- 2:12:06random that I was thinking of, I'm going to be so pissed.
- 2:12:09I can't think of another one for my second.
- 2:12:11Fish take my guess. I got nothing.
- 2:12:13I, I don't even, I don't even know if he made it to the Final
- 2:12:15Four. I just know his, his name just
- 2:12:17kept popping in my head. Andy Enfield.
- 2:12:19No, no, he was the FG, the Florida Gulf Coast coach.
- 2:12:22They went to the Sweet 16. Yeah, I just remember loving
- 2:12:25that, like campus of Florida Gulf Coast when they were
- 2:12:28winning. Have you ever seen a better
- 2:12:30campus for college? They're on the beach, bro.
- 2:12:32It's crazy. Yeah, I think so.
- 2:12:33I think Stetson is the same way. So I think their campus is
- 2:12:36right. There as well, yeah.
- 2:12:38I can't think I I'm trying to. I'm trying to remember some of.
- 2:12:42The better than Dukes. What is the what is that missus?
- 2:12:45We need a hit. Give us a like to learn.
- 2:12:47All right, one of them, one of them was on a team that just
- 2:12:50lost in the second weekend this. This second weekend.
- 2:12:56I don't. Know second weekend.
- 2:12:58Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's saying that they just.
- 2:13:01Want to give it part of the break it the second weekend.
- 2:13:04So he's. One of 16 or the old.
- 2:13:06Guys, it's Gonzaga. Less than that.
- 2:13:09The guy from less than that I don't.
- 2:13:11Know I don't know I don't. Know it's less than that
- 2:13:13because. He did make two Final Fours, but
- 2:13:15it wasn't with it was both with Gonzaga.
- 2:13:16I don't know, honestly. I don't know.
- 2:13:18Let's go, Speedy. Let's.
- 2:13:20Move. All right, so I got it.
- 2:13:21I mentioned one of them earlier in the show was Bob Huggins made
- 2:13:24it with Cincinnati and West Virginia.
- 2:13:26The one the one that just lost was Calvin Sampson who made it
- 2:13:29with Houston when they were not in the Big 12.
- 2:13:31They were AAC team. They also he also made it with
- 2:13:33Oklahoma back in 2000, back in 2002 and then 2023, Jim
- 2:13:39Larranega joined that club, making it with George Mason and
- 2:13:42Miami. You want my cream pie?
- 2:13:43George Mason team. Jim Larranega I.
- 2:13:45Think it was going to be that. All right, Speedy, I'm giving
- 2:13:48you the middle, I'm assuming. And let's get back to the next
- 2:13:51question. All right, let's go to those
- 2:13:53rookies you were talking about fish.
- 2:13:54So both De Lauder and Maracami homered in their first 3
- 2:13:57consecutive games in their career, which is one behind the
- 2:14:00rookie record which are set by what American League East player
- 2:14:04who did it in 2016. Oh damn.
- 2:14:08Now he was 16 on a National League team at the time.
- 2:14:11He's now an American League East player.
- 2:14:14OK, All right. So it's a guy who's been in a
- 2:14:16league for at least eight years. Say that again.
- 2:14:20Say that. Again.
- 2:14:20So this player, who's now in the American League East, set the
- 2:14:24rookie record homering in his first four straight games in his
- 2:14:27career when he was a member of the National League team at that
- 2:14:30time. In the East.
- 2:14:34Now in the American League East. Cody Bellinger.
- 2:14:37Nope. Pete Alonso in the.
- 2:14:40American in the. He's in there, yeah.
- 2:14:42No in there though. 20160 OK 2016 Alonso gave up in 19 OK.
- 2:14:48So older than Alonso? It's going to be in his 30s mid
- 2:14:5230s probably. Stan.
- 2:14:55Nope. Stan is around longer.
- 2:14:59That's a tough one, man. I'm trying to, I'm trying to
- 2:15:04look through every single team in my head and.
- 2:15:06I'm trying to think of the teams in the in the East that have
- 2:15:09like a 34 year old kind of home run hitter, right?
- 2:15:17It's got to be somebody on the devil the the rays.
- 2:15:22Isn't isn't my guy Andy Diaz? No, he'd be the right age for
- 2:15:27it. No, he never played in the
- 2:15:30National League I. I wasn't sure if he came up with
- 2:15:33Saint Louis or something like that.
- 2:15:34I don't think he ever yeah came up with them.
- 2:15:36Yeah, I don't know Speedy all. Right.
- 2:15:39Anyone got a guess? Anyone want to throw a guess
- 2:15:41out? Speedy is whooping us tonight.
- 2:15:43So I'll give you the NL division.
- 2:15:45He came up in an for an NL. My rear end is burning.
- 2:15:49NL W to AL East. Yes.
- 2:15:55Is it Tommy? I take your guess.
- 2:15:59Is it Varsho? Nope.
- 2:16:00All right. I got nothing.
- 2:16:04Speedy. What?
- 2:16:04Who is it? Trevor Story.
- 2:16:07Oh, the Rockies. Damn, I should have thought of
- 2:16:11that. All right, Speedy, where are we
- 2:16:13going? Top right, Top right.
- 2:16:16Right here. Covering up Tommy Cena.
- 2:16:20AKA Jesus Christ right there. Let's go.
- 2:16:25Look at that. All right, Speedy, give us one
- 2:16:27where where we got it all. Right, let's go for some
- 2:16:28football. We'll give Q an NFL one.
- 2:16:30So Lavonte David, one of three players with 40 sacks and 35
- 2:16:33takeaways since 1982. Name the other two.
- 2:16:37Say it. Again.
- 2:16:38Lavonte David is one of three players with 40 sacks and 35
- 2:16:42takeaways in his career since 1982.
- 2:16:44Name the other two players. At at that position, they're
- 2:16:48both at that position. Speedy.
- 2:16:52I'm going to let you guys guess, but speedy effed up because I
- 2:16:55had this exact stat in the sports minute last week.
- 2:16:58I know who it is. He had 40 sacks and 30
- 2:17:03takeaways. They're 40 and 35.
- 2:17:05You can answer it because he screwed up.
- 2:17:08That's not fair. I'll get you guys guess, but
- 2:17:10don't spend too long. I'm going to give you the
- 2:17:12answer. He screwed up.
- 2:17:15He did 30. 5 takeaways it is. They're both middle linebackers
- 2:17:19and they're both Hall of Farmers.
- 2:17:21Ray Lewis. Yep, and the other great middle
- 2:17:24linebacker at that. Time in the.
- 2:17:26Conference. Nope, not Lukiki.
- 2:17:28Good guess, 49ers. Oh, Bobby Wagner.
- 2:17:33Nope, not Wagner. Good guess.
- 2:17:35He has the tackle record right now I think.
- 2:17:39He does, it's insane. It is.
- 2:17:41Missing it's 15. Brian Urlacher is.
- 2:17:43Brian Urlacher, Bears Yes. All right.
- 2:17:46Q Me, I'm going. To touch my end there.
- 2:17:50Since you got the first one come.
- 2:17:51On we're going. To bring Q to block speedy.
- 2:17:56Denied. Denied.
- 2:17:58Speedy. All right, what's next, Speedy?
- 2:18:04All right, so Tennessee failed to become the first six seed to
- 2:18:07make the final four, specifically a six seed.
- 2:18:09There's been 7 through elevens that have made it since 1992.
- 2:18:12The last one who did that was what team?
- 2:18:14A six seed, a six seed exactly a six seed you.
- 2:18:16Said what year? 1992.
- 2:18:19Jesus 92 six seed. 92 is the fab five year isn't it?
- 2:18:30So Fab 5 weren't a six seed. Duke wasn't a six seed.
- 2:18:33Who were the other two teams in the final four of that year?
- 2:18:40I feel like I must have watched a documentary of this a million
- 2:18:42freaking times. I feel like Kentucky was one of
- 2:18:44the teams but I would doubt they were a six seed.
- 2:18:47So it's whoever the other team. What's 92 branking?
- 2:18:54Oh man, I. See UCLA.
- 2:18:57Was it VSSC? UNLV was good before.
- 2:19:01I'll take a guess, Arizona State.
- 2:19:03Nope. Succeed.
- 2:19:11That is so tough. I don't know.
- 2:19:20I got, I've got no idea. I feel like you need to give us
- 2:19:23a conference on that one. Yeah.
- 2:19:26What's the traffic? Big 10.
- 2:19:32OK, big here. Let's see 90.
- 2:19:34Two Big 10. Well, the first name in my head
- 2:19:39was Indiana, so I'm going to stick with it.
- 2:19:40Nope. What's Nebraska?
- 2:19:44Is Nebraska in it? They weren't.
- 2:19:46They weren't back then. They were not.
- 2:19:48Back then, they were big. 12 I love Lisa AM.
- 2:19:50Purdue. What about Purdue?
- 2:19:51Nope, Purdue was Purdue before two years ago.
- 2:19:55They didn't have a Final Four until 1980.
- 2:19:58PAC 10. Big.
- 2:20:00Big 10, Big 10. OK, big. 10 But Nebraska wasn't
- 2:20:02in the Big 10 at that time. So they were back when the
- 2:20:07conferences made sense. Can't wait it wasn't O state
- 2:20:12this year. Oh my God.
- 2:20:17They say it was in Michigan. Ohio State.
- 2:20:25Was not Ohio. State breaking news.
- 2:20:26I'm putting you on the team. To beat Ohio State in the Elite
- 2:20:298 though? Oh man.
- 2:20:36All right, let's go, Speedy. All right, All right.
- 2:20:39I think we're done. Speedy, what do you got for?
- 2:20:41Us well, fish, you probably just sort of just said the first team
- 2:20:43you said because that was the answer They were, it was it was
- 2:20:47Michigan. Michigan was a 60.
- 2:20:49It was a 60. Yep.
- 2:20:51It was good. I was a 60 they.
- 2:20:54Were I thought? I thought Michigan wasn't an
- 2:20:56option. I never said it wasn't in.
- 2:20:58Ohio State. Where are we going?
- 2:21:00I never said it wasn't. Just thought it was a Big 10
- 2:21:03team. All right, let's.
- 2:21:04Go. Bottom right.
- 2:21:06Bottom right for Speedy, so he's got a 2.
- 2:21:08Way. He got a two way.
- 2:21:09On us, right? Now.
- 2:21:11All right, I'll. Get at least two in a row.
- 2:21:13Yep. I'll give you an NBA one for the
- 2:21:15next 1. So LeBron James became one of
- 2:21:17five players to get the 1500 game mark in his career, namely
- 2:21:222 of the other 4. Two of the other. 4 Yep.
- 2:21:27Robert Parish. Besides Parish, that was a
- 2:21:30record he broke. There was two others after that.
- 2:21:35Kareem. You can take that back.
- 2:21:36Kareem is 1. Yep.
- 2:21:37Yeah, I must say, Kareem, Carl. Nope.

- 2:22:06boys, here we go. I'll.

- 2:22:12season, there were some guys above them that were did in the
- 2:22:1520th century, 21st century. But we want to talk about the
- 2:22:18three guys that did it in the 20th century who had more
- 2:22:20catches than JS NS that year. So all three of them did it in

- 2:26:06This is a New York sports loudmouth sportsman at.
- 2:26:11All right guys, Aaron Fishman back at you with another
- 2:26:14sportsman and got a couple of more stories for you.
- 2:26:17Then we'll go through the scores.
- 2:26:18In some news that should scare gamblers and fans of the league
- 2:26:23everywhere, the NFL is beginning hiring replacement officials
- 2:26:28ahead of a possible strike by the NFL Referees Association for
- 2:26:31the season. ESP NS Kevin Seifert and Caitlin
- 2:26:34Caller report that due to the poor state of negotiation
- 2:26:36associations between league owners and the NFL RA, some
- 2:26:41owners have started instructing staff members to start
- 2:26:44onboarding college level referees in the coming weeks.
- 2:26:47The league's training of these replacements allegedly will
- 2:26:50begin on May 1st. Once the league fully commits to
- 2:26:53that approach, negotiations between officials and the
- 2:26:56referees union are expected to stall further as the now the
- 2:26:59league would then be committing money to their replacement.
- 2:27:02This basically leaves the month of April for the two sides to
- 2:27:05come to an agreement. Or we're going to have scab
- 2:27:07referees next season. These refs are going to have to
- 2:27:10implement a variety of new replay rules and enhancement to
- 2:27:15current rules on top of learning the NFL game on the fly this
- 2:27:18season. With no veteran NFL officials on
- 2:27:21their crew, the NFL is playing a dangerous game with the quality
- 2:27:25of its product, as many remember the infamous Fail Mary.
- 2:27:28The last time there were scab officials with one signaling
- 2:27:30touchdown and the other saying incomplete was back in a
- 2:27:34nationally televised 2012 matchup between the Packers and
- 2:27:37Seahawks. And they didn't have to contend
- 2:27:39with legal gambling back in those days.
- 2:27:42I'm sure this will turn out just fine.
- 2:27:44According to Adam Wells of Bleacher Report earlier on
- 2:27:46Monday, Cleveland Browns quarterback should door Sanders
- 2:27:49is changing his jersey number to #2 from last year's 12.
- 2:27:54Sanders famously wore the number 2 during his time in College in
- 2:27:56Colorado and Jackson State, as well as in high school.
- 2:28:00After last year's number 2 DeAndre Carter left in free
- 2:28:02agency this season, Sanders was able to snatch up the number 2
- 2:28:06all for himself. The bigger question will be can
- 2:28:09Sanders snatch up the number one or #2 quarterback job in
- 2:28:12Cleveland this year after struggling in his time starting
- 2:28:14in the second-half of the season, 2025?
- 2:28:17In his eight game, seven of which were starts, Sanders threw
- 2:28:20for 1400 yards with 7 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and a 56.5
- 2:28:24completion percentage. Sanders will have to compete
- 2:28:27once again with Dylan Gabriel, who he took over for from last
- 2:28:29season after he struggled early in the season, and a returning
- 2:28:32Deshaun Watson, who had signed the mega contract with Cleveland
- 2:28:36before struggling mightily and then tearing his Achilles back
- 2:28:39in 2024. At least Gidor gets to wear his
- 2:28:41number, though. Maybe he will be the best of his
- 2:28:44bad crop of Cubies. Or maybe they will add some more
- 2:28:46competition in the 2026 NFL Draft coming up in less than a
- 2:28:50month. Guys, we are streaming live on

- 2:30:24tomorrow, so I've been drinking this orange garbage stuff and
- 2:30:28throughout the breaks I've been running to the bathroom.
- 2:30:31It is absolutely rumbling in my stomach.
- 2:30:34I've been dealing with this the whole show.
- 2:30:36I don't even know how I'm getting through the show.
- 2:30:38It's pretty amazing how I could just push right forward and and
- 2:30:41go, there's no more break. So I've got three more segments
- 2:30:44to get through with my rotten stomach that I'm dealing with
- 2:30:47right now. So I just want to let everybody
- 2:30:49know I'm entertaining you guys tonight with all these things
- 2:30:53that I'm dealing with. No food in my stomach.
- 2:30:56Absolutely zero. I haven't eaten since 12:00 last
- 2:30:59night and I got a colonoscopy tomorrow and you know what they
- 2:31:02have to do and I'm dealing with kidney stones now.
- 2:31:06I was in the hospital all weekend.
- 2:31:07So this is for you guys. Anyways, we call this call your
- 2:31:10shot. I'm not an X's and O's guy,
- 2:31:13right? I'm not a tactician.
- 2:31:14I'm a motivator in the classic sense of the word.
- 2:31:17You know, Lombardi, Charles Lindbergh, that nun over in
- 2:31:19India, like those people call your shot.
- 2:31:24Somebody's got to call it. Look at those big beautiful arms
- 2:31:27I have over there. They're beautiful.
- 2:31:30See that? See that?
- 2:31:31Q. You're going to only.
- 2:31:33Wish. You can only wish, buddy.
- 2:31:35You can only wish. He just gets mad that I always
- 2:31:42make him look fat, so I had to make him look cut in at least
- 2:31:44one of the pictures. Yeah, there it is.
- 2:31:47And it's honestly it's all the computers anyway.
- 2:31:51Guys, call your shot. Errol.
- 2:31:53Why don't you tell him how this one works?
- 2:31:55Well, it's very simple. If you don't know how to play
- 2:31:57the game or you haven't watched the show, you know, sometimes if
- 2:32:00you have to look at Q, all the I'll show you.
- 2:32:02I'd probably run too. Yeah, in his eye, if he has a
- 2:32:07mirror in front of him. He probably so he gave 9 1/2
- 2:32:11immediately. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
- 2:32:13what this guy does. And this is he's got a mirror in
- 2:32:16front of him because he likes looking at himself 24/7.
- 2:32:19So you don't see it, but you know, if you really look at the
- 2:32:23the frames on the back end, you can see some kind of reflection
- 2:32:26and you can see his picture. So yeah, he likes looking at
- 2:32:29himself. I mean, it figures anyway.
- 2:32:33Motivation for you guys? I don't need no motivation.
- 2:32:35I don't need any motivation. My motivation is is that if you
- 2:32:40think you could beat me in a push up contest, you're going to
- 2:32:42get your full. Width.
- 2:32:44You know, short stroke. You're going to be short stroke.
- 2:32:46There's no such thing. Well, listen, the only short
- 2:32:48stroke you do is when you get off the show and.
- 2:32:51I have a short. Stroke.
- 2:32:53I don't want to know what you're stroking.
- 2:32:55Out of my DNA. Yeah, well, I got to ask your
- 2:32:57wife on that one. I should tell you, we'll be the
- 2:33:00first to tell. You, I don't know.
- 2:33:01If not him, well, somebody has to use the hammer because I'm
- 2:33:07the nail. Are you the?
- 2:33:12Woman, No, no, I, I First of all, I'm the nail.
- 2:33:15You didn't listen, I said. I said somebody's going to use
- 2:33:18the hammer because I'm the nail. You know, you're not listening
- 2:33:21here. It went over your head.
- 2:33:22Don't worry, I got you, man. I'm going to help you out
- 2:33:24tonight. Anyways.
- 2:33:26It's very simple. So we're going to tell you a
- 2:33:28story or we're going to give you an opinion of what we think
- 2:33:32could happen. And, and that's how it's going
- 2:33:34to go. And it might happen.
- 2:33:36It might stick, it might not. It usually doesn't stick for old
- 2:33:40Q over there, but it sticks for me, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:33:43So we're going to give you our opinion of what we think can
- 2:33:45happen and we're going to throw it and we're going to give you a
- 2:33:48curveball to it. All right.
- 2:33:49Tonight we're going to go with Speedy, We'll go with Q, we'll
- 2:33:55go with Fish, we'll go with me. Here we go.
- 2:33:57All right, Q This one's for you. I'm going to make a pic of your
- 2:34:00next basketball coach at North Carolina.
- 2:34:03So we heard Dan Purcell last week thinking they might go for
- 2:34:05somebody aggressive, somebody that has some experience.
- 2:34:07I don't know if it'll be any of the flashy names that he was
- 2:34:09listing off. And I know UQ wanted to go for
- 2:34:12somebody younger, too. There's a lot of Big 12 coaches
- 2:34:14I think that would qualify for that.
- 2:34:15I think Mcclaston for Texas Tech could be 1.
- 2:34:17I think Altenburg, Iowa State could be two good options.
- 2:34:20But I'm going to go with somewhere in between a guy
- 2:34:22that's won a championship and that is a Big 12 coach that's
- 2:34:25kind of struggled the last few years because their school
- 2:34:27doesn't want to give out NIL money to anybody because they
- 2:34:30want to give it all their football team.
- 2:34:31I'm going to say Scott Drew becomes your guys next
- 2:34:34basketball coach. Won a championship with Baylor
- 2:34:37in 2021. Errol called that title.
- 2:34:39I remember good defensive minds I'm going to need in North
- 2:34:41Carolina for a while. So I'll say Scott Drew as the
- 2:34:43next Tar Heels basketball coach. Some.
- 2:34:48Crazy one like that haven't that speedy might be on or something
- 2:34:51or no Michael right. I'm a double down from what last
- 2:34:54week? The Atlanta hopes.
- 2:34:59Listen, you guys love this part. The Atlanta hopes it's going
- 2:35:04deep into the playoffs, OK? It could possibly be, depending
- 2:35:09on the seating, could possibly be in the Eastern Conference
- 2:35:13finals, right? What?
- 2:35:15Drugs. Is he?
- 2:35:16On well, he's just watching them beat his Celtics ass right now.
- 2:35:19Listen, well, we, we, we didn't we, we're short headed tonight.
- 2:35:23We're not even playing all the people.
- 2:35:24But yeah, you know, that's just when you you already clinched
- 2:35:28the playoffs. You just trying to get reps at
- 2:35:29this point. But yes, I'm going to let the
- 2:35:33house going deep into the playoffs again because I just
- 2:35:36want to remind you guys, guys, and if they win tonight, this
- 2:35:39would be 14 out of 15 games, like 1214 out of 15 games.
- 2:35:43So I'm going to stick to that. I'm going to double down on that
- 2:35:46because I just wanted to make sure that we clip this so when
- 2:35:49they do go deep in the playoffs, you guys will owe me something.
- 2:35:53I haven't quite. The only the only thing they're
- 2:35:55going to be the only thing you should be clipping is those
- 2:35:58balls of yours. That's a bad.
- 2:35:59Idea. Clip it, I'm telling you.
- 2:36:06The one good thing about that whole Hawk story is as soon as
- 2:36:09they got rid of Trey Young, they got better.
- 2:36:11Kind of makes me happy. Kamika got free from from your
- 2:36:16guy Steve Kerr. Fish, I'm sure our former.
- 2:36:18Motivating everybody around every professional league,
- 2:36:21right? Yeah, let's go to the Blue Jays.
- 2:36:23Fish, I'm sure our former Inter Jared, all of that is they said
- 2:36:25Trey Young was his least favorite player in the NBA.
- 2:36:27He's. Definitely one of my least
- 2:36:29favorite players. I want to talk about one of my
- 2:36:31favorite players in the NFL that hasn't played in a little while,
- 2:36:34that is up for basically on the market for the draft and we're
- 2:36:39going to hear his name get traded in.
- 2:36:40Once Upon a time, I thought he was the absolute best blocking
- 2:36:44wide receiver in the NFL and at the same time one of the best
- 2:36:47route runners. He tore his knee.
- 2:36:49Brandon Nyuk is available and I think John Harbaugh wants.
- 2:36:54A piece. Of a run game with the receiver
- 2:36:58blocking down running zone. I'm just telling you what what
- 2:37:02Ayuk does for a run first. John horrible is what you hold
- 2:37:06the John. First coach, run, first coach.
- 2:37:09You trade for him. All you're going to need is to
- 2:37:11give up as a 6th or a 7th swap. It's not going to be a lot.
- 2:37:15And then you create that contract, low cap the first year
- 2:37:18you give him that deal. Now he's opposite Malik
- 2:37:20Neighbors. They got the slot guys, this is
- 2:37:23a home run. Now they can run off the edge.
- 2:37:26That is a brilliant move, especially if they go after the
- 2:37:29kid love in the first round. It's not going to happen and
- 2:37:32he's on drugs. Never going to happen.
- 2:37:34For all you Giant fans, whenever Fish comes out with a Giants
- 2:37:38take, you know. It's one of those two statements
- 2:37:40were true. It's never going to happen.
- 2:37:42Just so everybody knows, it will never happen.
- 2:37:45Ayuk will not be a new I'd have. The most correct call your
- 2:37:48shots. By the way, if Arizona wins
- 2:37:50because Qi called, Arizona going to win a couple of weeks before
- 2:37:54the tournament even. They don't.
- 2:37:56Great, great. You.
- 2:37:58You. You've.
- 2:37:58Got your last five days? Yeah.
- 2:38:00Great, great. He's got the most Collier shots
- 2:38:03because Q win it's. Just like that means I'm
- 2:38:06winning. That's what it sounds like to
- 2:38:07me. They.
- 2:38:07Hate winners. They hate winners.
- 2:38:10The only thing he ate us. Really.
- 2:38:11Because they ain't us. Really, really.
- 2:38:13You win. I remember, I remember, I
- 2:38:16remember this guy telling me every single week when he played
- 2:38:19me in fantasy, I whipped his freaking ass every single week
- 2:38:22we played. Beat him by 40 and I'm going to
- 2:38:25beat you. I'm going to beat you.
- 2:38:27You didn't win nothing. You got caught up.
- 2:38:30Right, just prologue. Yeah, the parents just grow up.
- 2:38:33Fast. This is facts.
- 2:38:35You are a lucky person and you're not winning.
- 2:38:37Arizona's not winning no national championship, and you
- 2:38:40can bet on that. They do.
- 2:38:41They're not. You're not selling anything that
- 2:38:43I already know they're not anyway.
- 2:38:45I get a second stick tonight. I'll give you a stick a nice.
- 2:38:49Can I get a second one? No, I'm not going to give you
- 2:38:51any. I'm not.
- 2:38:52I don't. Think it's worth I think.
- 2:38:54It's worth mentioning. I don't think anythings worth
- 2:38:57mentioning. With breaking news, just go
- 2:38:59without. If it's favorite line.
- 2:39:01Joe Burrow will be still this. Start a quarterback Oh, now
- 2:39:05you're on drugs. Now you're really on drugs.
- 2:39:07I'm. Telling.
- 2:39:09You now you're really on drugs. Listen, for all the fans out
- 2:39:12there, this guy lives in Georgia, so of course he's got
- 2:39:15the Atlanta Hawks. And then this guy over here has
- 2:39:19the audacity because he's a Steeler fan, to think that Joe
- 2:39:22Burrow is going to be traded in the same division to the
- 2:39:26Steelers. Not a chance in hell is that
- 2:39:29going to hell. It's not.
- 2:39:31A chance traded in division. Oh, stop.
- 2:39:33It's never it's going to happen. There's no way.
- 2:39:35It's not going to happen. You're not trying to sell
- 2:39:37anything. That's not going to happen
- 2:39:39anyways. You telling me and I'm telling
- 2:39:42you you're on drugs and that's not going to happen anyways.
- 2:39:46My final call, your shot is the New York Jets.
- 2:39:51Now, everybody keeps talking about the New York Jets, the New
- 2:39:54York Jets, the New York Jets, where do they go in the draft?
- 2:39:57At #16 is a very interesting spot.
- 2:40:01And I'm going to, I'm going to say this.
- 2:40:04If this guy is still on the board at 16, I believe the New
- 2:40:10York Jets are going to draft him.
- 2:40:11Ty Simpson is sitting there at #16 the New York Jets are going
- 2:40:16to draft him. He interviewed very, very well.
- 2:40:19I've I've heard by 15 different teams that interviewed the kid
- 2:40:24like the kid thought he was. Really cool collective,
- 2:40:28understands the game, understands the play calling
- 2:40:31very good feet. They love the way he threw the
- 2:40:33ball at the combine and if he's sitting there at 16, I don't
- 2:40:36think he'll be there at 16 because I could see a team
- 2:40:39trading up to get him. I think he'd be there, but if
- 2:40:41he's sitting there at 16 I could see The Jets drafting him so my.
- 2:40:44Prediction. Ty Simpson will be drafting
- 2:40:49drafted to the New York Jets. He'll be there at the top of the
- 2:40:52second too, so. But I think Errol is right, but
- 2:40:55I don't think it's going to be at 16.
- 2:40:56I think they're going to do what the Giants did with Jackson
- 2:40:59Dart. Instead of taking him in the top
- 2:41:00of the second, it makes more sense to trade up to the back of
- 2:41:03the first because then you get that fifth year option and then
- 2:41:06you get to keep a quarterback if he's good that extra year and
- 2:41:09then change. I think what The Jets are
- 2:41:13thinking. Is he got to pay him earlier
- 2:41:14this? Is what I'm reading and I, I
- 2:41:16know a lot of people. It's not just The Jets, the
- 2:41:18Pittsburgh Steelers are really interested in him too.
- 2:41:21So Mike McCarthy loves him. I, I, he loves the footwork,
- 2:41:26loves everything about him. And that was something that Mike
- 2:41:28McCarthy liked when when Green Bay drafted Aaron Rodgers is his
- 2:41:31footwork. So I could see that The Jets are
- 2:41:35going to sit and soak on this and I can see them drafting him
- 2:41:39because Geno Smith is he's going to play all season long.
- 2:41:42You don't have to play him at all this year.
- 2:41:44And then you go into next offseason, you give him some
- 2:41:47time and OTAs, he wins the job for Geno Smith.
- 2:41:50Then Geno Smith will be his his coach on the sidelines as he he
- 2:41:54starts to grow at the position. And that's something The Jets
- 2:41:56have not done over the years. When they draft a guy in the
- 2:41:59first round, he's always starting.
- 2:42:01Even if Ty Simpson looks good at OTAs and looks good throughout
- 2:42:05this pre season, they will not start emoji as one of those guys
- 2:42:09that are going to make him sit, make him learn and let him
- 2:42:11understand the offense. So don't be surprised if Ty
- 2:42:14Simpson gets drafted by the New York Jets.
- 2:42:16That's all I'm going. To say he'll be a good second
- 2:42:18pick, he'll be a good second Round Top pick.
- 2:42:20I, I like him. I, I, I've read a lot about him
- 2:42:22and I, I, I think he's, he's. Worth you know too.
- 2:42:26He's worth an opportunity to take a look at him and I, I want
- 2:42:30to see his pro day because he's definitely going to have a pro
- 2:42:32day. He threw the ball so great at
- 2:42:34the combine. As a matter of fact, people have
- 2:42:36said he's stolen the ball. His footwork is better than
- 2:42:39anybody in this draft and his arm strength is better than
- 2:42:42anybody in this draft. So.
- 2:42:43You know who he reminds me of? It's like the Daniel Jones
- 2:42:46story. Like he's got if it's a clean
- 2:42:48pocket. He can do.
- 2:42:50He can do it all, you know what I mean?
- 2:42:53Like he can, but every time we saw some kind of duress for
- 2:42:56Simpson, those that footwear. They had no, they had no wide
- 2:43:00receivers really at Alabama. The offensive line wouldn't say.
- 2:43:03That yeah, I would. They had no struggled.
- 2:43:05The line struggled. They had no star star run wide
- 2:43:08receivers as they always. Do they got they got the number
- 2:43:102 wide receiver coming out next season?
- 2:43:13Next year, but he wasn't he wasn't really that good this
- 2:43:15year and he couldn't stay healthy.
- 2:43:16So I you could say, Oh my God, all you want.
- 2:43:19He had really no weapons like. Still like average, you know,
- 2:43:23for SEC he. Was up for the Heisman Trophy
- 2:43:25until the last month of the season.
- 2:43:27And and to me that is not the Alabama culture where when you
- 2:43:31look at the the talent that they've had year in and year
- 2:43:34out, he was he was absolutely fantastic this year and he
- 2:43:37played fifty. He was only started 15 for 15
- 2:43:40games in his career at college football for college football.
- 2:43:43So I I I love the kid. I think the kid stands for
- 2:43:47something and I think he looks really, really, he looked
- 2:43:49really, really good at the combine.
- 2:43:51So I disagree with you, Tiger Woods.
- 2:43:54Tiger Woods was arrested, another with another.
- 2:43:57I'm sorry. Tiger Woods was arrested for
- 2:43:59another Dee Wee. On Friday, March 27th, just a
- 2:44:03few miles from his home in Florida, Tiger crashed his car
- 2:44:06after hitting a truck while driving at high speeds, leading
- 2:44:11to his car flipping over and sliding across the road.
- 2:44:15At the scene, Woods got a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test,
- 2:44:20confirming there was no alcohol in his system at the time of the
- 2:44:24crash. Despite the lack of the lack of
- 2:44:27alcohol, officer described Woods as lethargic and impaired,
- 2:44:31leading to investigators to believe he was under the
- 2:44:34influence of medication or drugs.
- 2:44:36Woods reportedly refused to submit to a urine test at the
- 2:44:41station, which resulted in an automatic charge for refusal to
- 2:44:47submit to a lawful chemical test under Florida law.
- 2:44:51Tiger was held at the Martin County Jail for mandatory 8 for
- 2:44:57a mandatory 8 hours period required to a Dewi arrest before
- 2:45:03being released on bail around 11:00 PM that night.
- 2:45:07This is woods second D we arrest and and his fourth major high
- 2:45:14profile traffic accident since 2009.
- 2:45:18Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods.
- 2:45:21All right, so I put a story out on the Worldwide Sports Radio
- 2:45:25Network attacking not just Tiger Woods, but professional athletes
- 2:45:30getting away or thinking that they can get away because
- 2:45:33they're superstar players or former superstar players and
- 2:45:37they win all these grand slams. And and this guy, he I don't
- 2:45:42think we'll ever see a player do it like Tiger Woods did it in
- 2:45:46such a short time. I don't think we'll ever see
- 2:45:48anything like that in golf. But it doesn't matter what he
- 2:45:54has done in the past. And, and there's a lot of bad
- 2:45:57things he's done in the past, cheating on his wife with a
- 2:46:01bunch of porno stars and strippers and all these things
- 2:46:04that he did after having two children.
- 2:46:07And, and, and there's a lot of thing and his wife who made
- 2:46:11herself some really good money. It's not like she didn't walk
- 2:46:14out or walk away with millions and millions of dollars.
- 2:46:17The fact here is, is Tiger Woods has always had a silver spoon in
- 2:46:23his mouth always. And ever since his father passed
- 2:46:27away, he's not been the same person.
- 2:46:30He's not been that leader type of player that people look up
- 2:46:35to. And if you're a golfing fan, are
- 2:46:37you going to buy his putter putter?
- 2:46:40Are you going to drive his, his, his 8 iron?
- 2:46:44Or are you going to buy any of his, his golfing sticks or you
- 2:46:49know, his clubs? You know you're not, you're not
- 2:46:52going to do that. And the fact here is Tiger Woods
- 2:46:56has been a trend setter for golf for a lot of these young golfers
- 2:47:00that are trying to come up in for the United States and even
- 2:47:04some of these national superstars that we've seen.
- 2:47:08It doesn't work. When you do these things and you
- 2:47:11go out there in the public eye, you crash your car, you're
- 2:47:15taking drugs, you're drinking, whatever you're doing, and it
- 2:47:18doesn't work. Now, Jaylen Carter, remember
- 2:47:20him, Jaylen Carter, before he was drafted by the Philadelphia
- 2:47:24Eagles, got into a stake of racing with player, a player and
- 2:47:30a coach who died in the accident.
- 2:47:32He left the scene and came back. But because he's Jaylen Carter,
- 2:47:36if it was me or you or anybody else that wasn't going to be a
- 2:47:40professional superstar player in the NFL, you probably get
- 2:47:44arrested. You're up for, you know, up for
- 2:47:47possibly going to jail or jail time.
- 2:47:49That's what usually happens. It's manslaughter.
- 2:47:52No, Jaylen Carter got away with it.
- 2:47:55And this is a problem that's been going on in professional
- 2:47:58sports for a very, very long time.
- 2:48:00Professional athletes seem to believe they're bigger than the
- 2:48:04sport. They think they can do whatever
- 2:48:06the hell they want. They can get away with what what
- 2:48:08they think they can get away with.
- 2:48:10And they think that being a public figure figure like Tiger
- 2:48:15Woods or Santonio Holmes or Antonio Brown or any of the guys
- 2:48:20that we can mention that have been in trouble in some parts of
- 2:48:24their career with the law, they think that they can get away
- 2:48:27with it because of their names and who they stand for.
- 2:48:31It doesn't work like that. And Tiger Woods, as great as a
- 2:48:35as great as a golfer he's he's become in the past and as great
- 2:48:40as his son is, if I was his son right now, who's one of the best
- 2:48:43young golfers right now playing in college, this guy is going to
- 2:48:47be a superstar. If I hear that my father is
- 2:48:50getting arrested for a Dee Wee or if my father's in the
- 2:48:54tabloids or if my father is on TMC, that's embarrassing because
- 2:49:00I am the next big star. I'm the next big figure with the
- 2:49:05last name Woods. And how am I going to be
- 2:49:07portrayed when I become a superstar golfer, I win a Grand
- 2:49:12Slam or I'm trying to be considered one of the up and
- 2:49:16coming stars in golf and the faces of golf when my father is
- 2:49:20doing these stupid things on and off the golf course.
- 2:49:24It is horrible. It's embarrassing and it's not
- 2:49:29good for golf. And, and again, we have seen
- 2:49:31this before. It's not just Tiger Woods, it
- 2:49:34it's these professional athletes.
- 2:49:37Listen, Kobe Bryant, may he rest in peace.
- 2:49:41Kobe Bryant cheated on his wife. He cheated on his wife and he
- 2:49:47went through, he almost went to jail.
- 2:49:50And and if it wasn't for his lawyers and investigating and
- 2:49:54investigating the woman that was sleeping with everybody at the
- 2:49:57hotel, not just Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant goes to jail.
- 2:50:02Kobe Bryant doesn't save his relationship his his marriage.
- 2:50:07And maybe we look at Kobe Bryant completely different because he
- 2:50:10changed everything after that. He became the Black Mamba.
- 2:50:13He changed, he became a different personality on a
- 2:50:18basketball court because people looked at him differently.
- 2:50:21Tiger Woods never can. And This is why I'm coming up
- 2:50:23with this story is no matter what Tiger Woods has done in the
- 2:50:27past, and he's done a lot of bad things in the past, he doesn't
- 2:50:31care what anybody thinks. Why?
- 2:50:34Because it keeps on happening. When Kobe did what he did, did
- 2:50:37he do it again? Did he go out there and get
- 2:50:39caught or did anything of this magnitude ever happened again in
- 2:50:43Kobe's career? No.
- 2:50:45Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant is one of those
- 2:50:49guys that really stand out to me right now in professional sports
- 2:50:51too. Kevin Durant.
- 2:50:53Now this obviously is not as bad as what Tiger Woods has done.
- 2:50:57Kevin Durant has come out and said that these Twitter, these
- 2:51:02Twitter pages are not his. And he lied and people caught
- 2:51:06him on that lie and threw it and, and, and and it stuck and,
- 2:51:10and eventually he had to tell the truth, right?
- 2:51:12Remember that he had to tell the truth.
- 2:51:15And then recently this same thing happened with Kevin Durant
- 2:51:20and Kevin Durant went back. Well, yeah, I'm, I'm, I, I'm
- 2:51:24doing what everybody else does. And, and it's funny because we
- 2:51:26were talking to Mike V, our manager the other day about it.
- 2:51:29And he was saying like, you know, a lot of people have
- 2:51:32different different names for their Instagram, different names
- 2:51:36for their Twitter. And and they use that to build a
- 2:51:39response through Twitter and Instagram.
- 2:51:42And the problem here right now is there is no response for
- 2:51:45Tiger Woods. The only thing that you can
- 2:51:48respond to Tiger Woods is stupidity.
- 2:51:50Dumb, ridiculous because after the fact that the cops brought
- 2:51:56them and and and said that, listen, we want to do a test, we
- 2:51:59want to do urine test, we want to do a blood test on what you
- 2:52:02have in your system. He said no automatically in
- 2:52:05state laws in Florida is you're automatically arrested.
- 2:52:10Now refusing that only means is he's going to hire the best
- 2:52:15lawyers. He's going to hire the best
- 2:52:17lawyers the money can buy and those lawyers are going to say,
- 2:52:20well, he never got the blood test.
- 2:52:22He never got the urine test. So he was never not actually
- 2:52:26distinctively on any of those drugs.
- 2:52:28So I guess, you know, you'll pay a fine and you'll have to do
- 2:52:33probation and, you know, say hello and sign, sign a letter to
- 2:52:37a bunch of babies. I don't know.
- 2:52:39I don't know. It's just it's pathetic.
- 2:52:42It's pathetic. And this is this is the problem
- 2:52:44in professional sports now and and again.
- 2:52:47Something needs to be done with these athletes and musicians and
- 2:52:51actors and actresses that get away with this.
- 2:52:54They think that because they're bigger than the sport.
- 2:52:58They think they're bigger than the movie business.
- 2:53:00They think they're bigger than music.
- 2:53:02They can do the things that they do and get away with it.
- 2:53:05And it's just, it's not right. And that's Tiger Woods.
- 2:53:08Tiger Woods has been getting away with this forever since his
- 2:53:11father passed away. And somebody needs to drop the
- 2:53:14book on him. Somebody needs to do something
- 2:53:16and step in and say, listen, you're not getting away with
- 2:53:18this anymore. You're not getting away with
- 2:53:20this. It's it's pathetic, it's
- 2:53:22disrespectful to the game of golf.
- 2:53:24You are the face of golf still. Your son is the future face of
- 2:53:28golf, and you're throwing your son under the bus because of it.
- 2:53:33Yeah, he's somebody that had a really fast rise in a sport that
- 2:53:36was always considered the gentleman's sport, a
- 2:53:38traditionalist sport, a lot even more extreme than what we think
- 2:53:41about with baseball now, with all of these traditionalists
- 2:53:43that don't want the game to be more fun and stuff like that.
- 2:53:46Tiger Woods did that for golf and with his personality, with
- 2:53:49his flair that he had. He had his own video games and
- 2:53:52all that stuff, all the apparel that they got.
- 2:53:54He had such a fast rise to stardom and his peak for 15
- 2:53:58years as a golfer was phenomenal.
- 2:54:00And then all of a sudden, like he's had the First off field.
- 2:54:02Fastest ever. I've never seen anybody peak so
- 2:54:05high so quick than Tiger Woods. Correct.
- 2:54:07And then he had the first incident in 2010 with the
- 2:54:09domestic violence issues and then he had other sexual issues
- 2:54:12off the field. He had another DUI issue in
- 2:54:152009. That was the first one.
- 2:54:16Then he had something else in 2017.
- 2:54:18And while a lot of people are obviously pulling for him to
- 2:54:21make that comeback because of what he could be, he won the
- 2:54:24Masters in 2019, which was a big impressive, which was impressive
- 2:54:27for his age and all everything he was going through at the
- 2:54:29time. But he also the factor in all
- 2:54:30the back injuries that he had and all the other all the
- 2:54:32injuries that. He's had.
- 2:54:34Why did he have those injuries? Because of steroids, correct?
- 2:54:37And I was going to say, all those medications are going to
- 2:54:38eventually add up overtime too, where while he didn't have
- 2:54:41alcohol in a system this time around like he did in that 2022,
- 2:54:45we had that really bad mug shot that went viral.
- 2:54:48Quickly that he seems like he's behind all I know, the BALCO
- 2:54:53situation, everything. He seems like he's behind every
- 2:54:57single bad story and it just to me it's starting to stick even
- 2:55:02more because this guy hasn't figured it out yet.
- 2:55:05No, and he hasn't. No, that's what I'm saying with
- 2:55:07the medications, everything that's built up that he's taken
- 2:55:09all this time, Like you should know, especially with your son
- 2:55:12there, your son could have been very easily in the car and stuff
- 2:55:14like that. Like it's not hard not to drive
- 2:55:17you. All this money you have, all
- 2:55:18this, all these guys that could do it for you.
- 2:55:20Like it's not hard to be the influence on on turning yourself
- 2:55:24around. You talk about all these other
- 2:55:25guys that didn't do it again. How about all the other like the
- 2:55:27football players? Like we talked about Michael
- 2:55:29Vick, Like Michael Vick, Yeah, we know what bad what he was
- 2:55:31doing, having the dog fighting instances.
- 2:55:33But now. He's been an but didn't Michael
- 2:55:35Vick after the fact went out there?
- 2:55:37He tried to fix his name, correct?
- 2:55:39He had to prove himself. And here's another thing that
- 2:55:42Michael Vick didn't do. He didn't claim bankruptcy,
- 2:55:44right? He didn't go out there and do
- 2:55:46what everybody else would have done.
- 2:55:48He paid back all that money. Not many people do that.
- 2:55:53And that's, that's the thing about Michael Vick and that,
- 2:55:56that's the thing about Tiger Woods that people don't
- 2:55:58understand, right? Tiger Woods thinks that he can
- 2:56:00pay off lawyers. Tiger Woods thinks he could do
- 2:56:04whatever he wants and he could be center stage because he's a,
- 2:56:08he's the guy, he's a superstar. He's got a like a, a 500 foot
- 2:56:11yacht and he's, he's got all the money in the world and he can do
- 2:56:14whatever he wants and nobody can touch him.
- 2:56:17And that to me is a big problem in professional sports because
- 2:56:21when you have money, you can do whatever you want.
- 2:56:23That's that's been the fact here with a lot of these athletes.
- 2:56:27How about these musicians? Drake?
- 2:56:28How many times has Drake and and people have come out saying that
- 2:56:32Drake is messing around with younger, younger people and then
- 2:56:37and, and all this other stuff. And it's been going on in the
- 2:56:39music business too. Yes, it is, Quentin.
- 2:56:42You can't say. You can't just say you said what
- 2:56:44people are saying, that he's messing with younger girls.
- 2:56:46He hasn't been committed up. No, because he's paying off.
- 2:56:49Because he's paying off. Say it.
- 2:56:51It has to be evidence. You can't just.
- 2:56:53What do you mean there's no evidence his own friends have
- 2:56:56come out? His own friends that have come
- 2:56:58out and said it. Kendrick Lamar won a Grammy for
- 2:57:02for writing an algorithm machine behind.
- 2:57:04Him. There was a machine behind him.
- 2:57:05It wasn't. It's not just Kendrick.
- 2:57:08Nobody. It's not just.
- 2:57:09Kendrick. Kendrick Lamar, it was a machine
- 2:57:12that pushed all of that, just like there's a machine that
- 2:57:14pushed these narratives when it comes to professors.
- 2:57:16It's not just narratives. Listen, you can what it is.
- 2:57:20Listen, you can be guilty. You can have a misjudgment.
- 2:57:22Did you? Did you hear what?
- 2:57:23Serena Williams. He's a She's a ex-girlfriend.
- 2:57:25Oh, so because she's. An ex girl, your ex-girlfriend
- 2:57:28is going to say, hey, yeah, best guys ever.
- 2:57:30No, it comes with the territory. Well, so so so.
- 2:57:34You know more than everybody else does you hang out with.
- 2:57:36Drake so. Why does everybody?
- 2:57:38Why does? Everybody go based on West
- 2:57:40Kavita. Why is everybody?
- 2:57:41Friends said that he was doing it and he got into an argument
- 2:57:44with him. He said that he was messing with
- 2:57:46little girls. Like don't put the narrative.
- 2:57:49On the narrative is it's not, it's not just one person saying,
- 2:57:52it's many people saying it about Drake.
- 2:57:54And that's not what even what I'm trying to make make
- 2:57:56stickier. It's the fact that these
- 2:57:58athletes think they can't get away with everything that they
- 2:58:01think that. Situation.
- 2:58:02Yeah, that's. Oh, we can.
- 2:58:03Don't understand why because guess what?
- 2:58:05There's Congress people that get away with it.
- 2:58:07There's people that's regular that has notified they get away
- 2:58:09with it. You guys just want to single out
- 2:58:11the athletes. There's guys that have been
- 2:58:13pulled over by family members. That's police officers.
- 2:58:15I did not they. Just want to run and take them
- 2:58:17to jail. No, they get special privileges
- 2:58:19too. So it's about who you know and
- 2:58:21what you have. That's the way America.
- 2:58:23That's what America is. So, So what you're trying to
- 2:58:27sell to me here is this is, this is, let me get this straight.
- 2:58:31You're telling me because Tiger Woods is a complete menace and
- 2:58:37Tiger Woods seems to go out there with and drink and, or
- 2:58:41whatever he's doing, driving intoxicated with cocaine or
- 2:58:44whatever. Oh, well, everybody's doing it,
- 2:58:47so it's OK. Is that what you're saying?
- 2:58:49Everybody's doing it, so who cares?
- 2:58:51It's it's not. Good.
- 2:58:52It's OK until you get caught. Oh, OK, so so he got caught.
- 2:58:57So you got caught. Speed limit all the time until
- 2:58:59you get caught. It is not a fine he got.
- 2:59:02Caught. He got caught.
- 2:59:04Justin Timberlake's all over TMZ.
- 2:59:06He got caught and now he's suing the police.
- 2:59:10Police station because they put it out there.
- 2:59:13Yes, don't drive drunk. Don't get the game.
- 2:59:16You got the right to process him, he has the right to sue.
- 2:59:20Yeah, he also has the right to have all that money in the world
- 2:59:22to buy every single gun, buy every single lawyer he wants.
- 2:59:26Jason didn't win any of those lawsuits, though.
- 2:59:29He didn't win a single one of them that he tried to sue about.
- 2:59:31He's a, it's a industry. It's a industry that's super
- 2:59:34bigger than him. I'm not defending him.
- 2:59:36I'm just saying like at the end of the day, sounds like you're a
- 2:59:38machine behind that. So therefore you, it's, there's
- 2:59:41certain people that just, you can't be touched.
- 2:59:43It's a machine. There's a machine behind.
- 2:59:45There's so much money behind them.
- 2:59:48You can do whatever you want to. They could be completely wrong,
- 2:59:50but because they got that machine behind them, they're not
- 2:59:52going to be found guilty. All right, so there's nice weeds
- 2:59:56out there and I pull I pull a lawnmower out and I have a
- 2:59:59machine machine behind and I'm just going to run it over.
- 3:00:01Yeah, it's a machine. You know, I'm just running it
- 3:00:03over. And by the way, if somebody's
- 3:00:06leg or foot is there, it's there.
- 3:00:09So I have a machine. It's it's I'm running it over.
- 3:00:13Dude. It's the most ridiculous
- 3:00:14statement. You cannot tell me that Tiger
- 3:00:17Woods being found by a bunch of cops.
- 3:00:20In a in a rural area where there's a bunch of people living
- 3:00:24and a car is flipped over and he is like impaired.
- 3:00:28He can't even talk straight. And you're going to tell me,
- 3:00:31well, you know what? He doesn't want to take the
- 3:00:33test, so he's not on drugs. Is that what you're telling me?
- 3:00:37Is that what you're throwing out?
- 3:00:38Well, because he's Tiger. Woods, he's got all the
- 3:00:40millions. And millions of dollars.
- 3:00:41He's OK. It's all right.
- 3:00:43Tigers doing it. So I can do it?
- 3:00:45No. If I did it, if I was that.
- 3:00:47Q If I'm out there and I flip a car and I tell him no, and I
- 3:00:51can't afford that, the the lawyers that he can afford,
- 3:00:54guess where I'm going? Guess where I'm going in the
- 3:00:57slammer. But this man, because he's Tiger
- 3:01:00Woods, he could do whatever he wants.
- 3:01:02He can flip cars. He can sleep with any woman he
- 3:01:04wants. He can bang whoever he wants.
- 3:01:07He can bang a tree, bang a wall, go over there and find the
- 3:01:11nearest glory hole. It's Tiger Woods.
- 3:01:13Nobody cares. Yeah, what I'm saying is that
- 3:01:18you're innocent to a proven guilty.
- 3:01:19He's not innocent. Take the test and he's able to
- 3:01:23fight that and win that. Yeah, I forget that because God,
- 3:01:26yesterday money, judicial system is set up.
- 3:01:29You can't just ignore that. Yeah, that's what I'm trying.
- 3:01:31To tell you. Try then today, whether it's
- 3:01:33Tiger Woods or whether it's some rich kid that got inherited a
- 3:01:36bunch of money and is able to do these same activities and get
- 3:01:39away with it. It doesn't matter.
- 3:01:41Understand the law, understand the system, and then you just
- 3:01:43play the game. Just like filing bankruptcy.
- 3:01:45You commended Michael Vitt for not filing bankruptcy, but then
- 3:01:49he had to go borrow money from other people.
- 3:01:52And he paid and he paid it back, and he still paid it back.
- 3:01:56But you the game says that you could file bankruptcy, still get
- 3:02:00off it, still keep your money so and then able to do that and
- 3:02:04still progress that life. So because he did it in my way,
- 3:02:07the right way and you're saying. It's not a right.
- 3:02:09Way that is the right way. I can file.
- 3:02:12All right, so, So what you're doing?
- 3:02:14Is what you believe is right now.
- 3:02:15I think it's absolutely right. He felt that doing what he did
- 3:02:20and what the way he did it, he wanted to go the right way.
- 3:02:24And, and, and to me, I thought that was the right way.
- 3:02:26And, and what, what Michael Vick has done since then has been
- 3:02:30absolutely sensational. Going out there, speaking for
- 3:02:33kids, speaking for animals, speaking for everything.
- 3:02:36You might, you could, you could go.
- 3:02:38But you're, it's OK for Tiger Woods to do what he was doing.
- 3:02:41What he said. I don't even think Michael Vick
- 3:02:42was guilty. It was just at his house.
- 3:02:44What do you mean he was he was guilty for orchestrating.
- 3:02:48It was a crime. No, he said that he.
- 3:02:50But he's been charged with it while everybody else gets away
- 3:02:54with it. That was actually actively
- 3:02:55fighting the dogs. So let.
- 3:02:57Me. He's the superstar, remember?
- 3:03:01No, remember equal. We got to be raped.
- 3:03:03We can't do that. We can't have the high.
- 3:03:06Oh, so that's what it. Is Oh no, he's the actor.
- 3:03:08We got to blame that. No.
- 3:03:10You're still saying once the orchestrator, once the
- 3:03:12accomplice. Now you don't want it to be
- 3:03:13fast. No, no.
- 3:03:14What I'm saying is you're going to you're trying to sell to me
- 3:03:17that what Tiger Woods did is OK. And the fact that he doesn't
- 3:03:20want to take those tests and he could get away, it's OK.
- 3:03:23And Tiger Woods could go into the public eye and say, oh,
- 3:03:27well, I didn't take the test. So I'm I'm not guilty.
- 3:03:30I'm not guilty. So because he's got millions and
- 3:03:32millions of dollars and he's going to pay lawyers to get him
- 3:03:34out of this mysterious bullshit. And I, and I'm going to tell you
- 3:03:38this, Tiger Woods is a piece of garbage.
- 3:03:40That's what he is. He is a no, he's not.
- 3:03:43Jack Nicholas was, he's the greatest golfer ever.
- 3:03:47Jack Nicholas is the greatest golfer.
- 3:03:50Ever. All right, you give you tiger
- 3:03:53wife because in 14 years, 15 years he was the best nobody can
- 3:03:57challenge him the. Only film argument only full.
- 3:04:00Only film, I mean. What are you talking about?
- 3:04:05An argument and trying to. Make don't defend my position.
- 3:04:08I'm I'm going to defend. I'm not defending nothing.
- 3:04:12I'm attacking your position. I'm attacking your position
- 3:04:15because to me, if you know anything about golf, who is who
- 3:04:19is Tiger chasing right now? Who is he chasing for majors?
- 3:04:23Who is he? I can't hear you.
- 3:04:26Your guy here. I can't hear you.
- 3:04:27What is it? Your guy JN Yeah.
- 3:04:30There you go, Jack Nicholas. Yeah.
- 3:04:32OK, so I to to say that he's the greatest golfer ever is is a
- 3:04:37lie. Can I say Jack?
- 3:04:39Can I say he's the greatest golfer?
- 3:04:40And Jack Nick is the most accomplished golfer?
- 3:04:42I can't say that. No, I, I.
- 3:04:44I know I exactly, because you're right, you can't say that.
- 3:04:50No, I won't. I won't say.
- 3:04:52It I get it, yeah. Listen, I'm going to make it
- 3:04:55stick wherever I could, you know?
- 3:04:57Let me give you a different view of this because I I think
- 3:04:59there's a third way to look at it.
- 3:05:01What about other superstars who were enabled like this and given
- 3:05:04a pass? I was saying, what about Elvis?
- 3:05:06What about Elvis? What about Mickey Mantle?
- 3:05:08Whitney Houston? They got older.
- 3:05:10What about Whitney Houston? What about what about making all
- 3:05:13that money and not living Michael Jackson to enjoy all of
- 3:05:16it because, yeah, Michael Jackson, all these guys who die
- 3:05:19in their 40s and 50s because they Jimmy Hatricks.
- 3:05:23You you telling me that he can't get a driver?
- 3:05:26Are you telling me Tiger Woods can't get a Janis Joplin?
- 3:05:30No, I'm. Not saying he.
- 3:05:31Can't get a driver. I'm not saying that he's never
- 3:05:33had a driver, just say that there's times that we make, we
- 3:05:36misjudge like our abilities, our capabilities.
- 3:05:39So I'm saying when you get caught, it's a big deal.
- 3:05:42But the 100 times that you get, you know you made it home safely
- 3:05:45and you didn't flip. Or.
- 3:05:46Nobody says anything. Hey, the one time that you did
- 3:05:50flip the car, hey, we want to nail you to the cross.
- 3:05:52And it's just like, I'm like, I'm not saying that he's right
- 3:05:55in this situation. I'm just saying like if he beat
- 3:05:57the case, however he do it, whether it's through money,
- 3:06:00lawyers or whatever the situation may be, we still can't
- 3:06:03hold him. Accountable.
- 3:06:04All right, All right, so. So what Q is saying right now,
- 3:06:08ladies? And gentlemen.
- 3:06:09This is what he's saying. He's saying, well, if you have
- 3:06:12money and you were never caught really doing drugs and you can
- 3:06:19pay your way out of it if he gets into an accident and kills
- 3:06:22somebody, oh, so be it. No, not if he killed somebody.
- 3:06:26Dude, you'll kill somebody. What are you talking?
- 3:06:28About did he kill? Somebody.
- 3:06:30He almost killed somebody. It's not if you want to live in
- 3:06:32this hypothetical world where you want to make something
- 3:06:34happen for the sake of your position.
- 3:06:36Did he kill somebody? Yes or no?
- 3:06:37He almost killed somebody. They know almost.
- 3:06:39There's no such thing there. Is almost.
- 3:06:41What are you talking about? There's no such thing as a word
- 3:06:43called almost. You either kill somebody or you
- 3:06:46did it so because. He didn't kill somebody.
- 3:06:48It's OK. Is that what you're saying?
- 3:06:50Because he almost killed somebody.
- 3:06:52It's OK. It's OK for him to do it.
- 3:06:54You. I'm you can't get held
- 3:06:56accountable for almost yes. You can.
- 3:06:59He is Tiger Woods. He's the face of golf.
- 3:07:02He is the face of Nike. At one point, he was the face of
- 3:07:06Nike golf. Why do you think Nike got rid of
- 3:07:08him? They don't want to deal with
- 3:07:09that crap. They don't want to deal with
- 3:07:11what he does on and off the golf course.
- 3:07:14Let's be honest. Come on, Qi, listen, I know what
- 3:07:17you're doing. You're standing up for the
- 3:07:18athlete, and that's fine. That's grand.
- 3:07:20I am not going to sit here and and try to blow this out of
- 3:07:24proportion. But guess what?
- 3:07:26If I'm sitting here today and I get into an accident, I don't
- 3:07:30have the money to find my way out of it.
- 3:07:33I am going to jail, OK? Because I am a nobody.
- 3:07:37I nobody cares about what I think.
- 3:07:40Nobody cares what I have to say. Why?
- 3:07:42Because I'm a nobody. I'm Errol Marx.
- 3:07:44I'm not Tiger Woods. I'm Errol Marx.
- 3:07:47I'm not LeBron James. I'm Errol Marx.
- 3:07:50I'm not Wayne Gretzky. So here's the fact then.
- 3:07:54This is a problem when I say about athletes, when I when I
- 3:07:56speak to them and and I go back and forth with them.
- 3:07:59Here's my problem. When an athlete believes they're
- 3:08:02bigger than the sport, they think because they got the money
- 3:08:06to get away with it, they can do the things that they do and hope
- 3:08:12that they find the right way or the right path outside of the
- 3:08:17maze, and that's Tiger Woods. Everybody knows Tiger Woods is
- 3:08:20going to get away with this. Everybody knows why?
- 3:08:23Because it's Tiger Woods. Here's what you're missing,
- 3:08:25though. You're you're sitting here
- 3:08:27thinking as predicting it as if then we're sitting here and say,
- 3:08:30hey, you know what I would do tonight?
- 3:08:32I'm gonna get as drunk and high as out of my mind and I'm gonna
- 3:08:35go drive a car that's not. He wasn't drunk, but there were
- 3:08:39drugs in his system because he has to take so many medications.
- 3:08:42Just sitting there just saying how about this?
- 3:08:44I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do that, and then I'm gonna
- 3:08:47drive. How about?
- 3:08:48This how it is. It's like, hey, I'll go to a
- 3:08:50party or I'll go to a situation and then something happened.
- 3:08:53I start getting intoxicated and then I was like, I think I could
- 3:08:56do it. I think I could do it because we
- 3:08:58are athletes and we believe that we can push through abnormal
- 3:09:02situation. So therefore I think we could do
- 3:09:05it. I think whether you.
- 3:09:07Would be I'm an athlete, they do it, It's right.
- 3:09:09No regular people do it. You act like you trying to
- 3:09:13isolate athletes. And tell somebody that took a
- 3:09:15lot of Medicare. No, no, one second regular.
- 3:09:17People hold on one second all the time, isolate athletes car
- 3:09:20and drive home again. Isolate athletes.
- 3:09:23I'm talking about Tiger Woods, who, by the way, is not an
- 3:09:26athlete anymore. He is not an athlete anymore.
- 3:09:30He's an old. Scrap boy, OK, that made
- 3:09:33billions of dollars. Who made billions of dollars
- 3:09:36because of who he is and what he has done in the past, OK.
- 3:09:40He's still one of the best and as of today.
- 3:09:45What did you just say? That Tiger Woods is still one of
- 3:09:48the best golfers in the world? Because he's not even close.
- 3:09:52He's not. He he doesn't.
- 3:09:54He doesn't even break the. Top He doesn't even break the
- 3:09:56top 500. He doesn't even break the top
- 3:09:59500 right now. Golfers.
- 3:10:00Yes, golfers right now, right now, right now, and and, and to
- 3:10:06sell me to sell me that because hey, I'm an athlete.
- 3:10:09I think I can get a, you know, I think I can drive drunk.
- 3:10:11And everybody does that. It's just you guys are the on a
- 3:10:14special one that don't ever consider taking a chance when
- 3:10:17you under do. Anybody that takes that much
- 3:10:19medication should know that they're not to drive.
- 3:10:21He flipped the damn car. This isn't the first.
- 3:10:23Time he did it. I'm not defending him.
- 3:10:25Flip the car. I'm trying to tell you that he
- 3:10:28didn't plan to flip the car. No, but he planned to drive
- 3:10:31intoxicated, did he not? Did he?
- 3:10:34Did he not? Did he?
- 3:10:36Did he plan? Did he plan?
- 3:10:38Listen, he took medicine, right? Did he not?
- 3:10:41Did he take medicine? OK.
- 3:10:43So knowing that you take medicine of that magnitude, what
- 3:10:46do you think is going to happen when you take it?
- 3:10:49You're going to feel good. You're going to feel good, and
- 3:10:52what usually happens when you feel good and you can't keep
- 3:10:54your eyes open and you're driving, what happens?
- 3:11:00I rest my case, hence the term and.
- 3:11:02Close. In case, the officer said when
- 3:11:05they. Say that they doing this on
- 3:11:07purpose. I'm telling you that these are.
- 3:11:09Things get it on purpose. Why would someone inject?
- 3:11:12Him. It's not.
- 3:11:13It's like you take it to ibuprofen and then you be like,
- 3:11:15you know. Ibuprofen.
- 3:11:16If you overdose on ibuprofen and drove it, the same thing.
- 3:11:20Did you just bring up ibuprofen over Percocet, Vicodin, or any
- 3:11:25of those things that'll put you to sleep or make you become a
- 3:11:28zombie? I'm giving you another example
- 3:11:29of what I'm saying is when you take painkillers, you don't
- 3:11:32automatically think that you're just going to be high out your
- 3:11:35mind to the point where you you can't drive.
- 3:11:38He probably felt like he could drive before he flipped the car.
- 3:11:41I'm not defending him flipping the car over, but what I am
- 3:11:44saying is nobody is just sitting there and saying I'm gonna get
- 3:11:47high on my mind and then I'm gonna go out and attack the
- 3:11:50road. Why?
- 3:11:51He's Kygo Woods. He thinks he could get away with
- 3:11:53everything. Did he learn?
- 3:11:55Did he learn his lesson the first time?
- 3:11:57No. Did he learn the first?
- 3:11:59How about this? Did he learn the first time when
- 3:12:02he was sleeping around and getting caught multiple times
- 3:12:05and still doing it and still did it OK because it's Tiger Woods?
- 3:12:10How many? How many times did she didn't
- 3:12:12didn't care? How many?
- 3:12:14How do you not know they had an open marriage?
- 3:12:16What does that have? Anything.
- 3:12:17This is Hollywood life. That's what I'm saying.
- 3:12:18Like really, I think it's normal because it would be cheating.
- 3:12:21Consider your relationship. But indeed, there's a lot of
- 3:12:24people who have open marriages. I'm pretty sure he drove these
- 3:12:28things. I'm pretty sure he drove his car
- 3:12:29into and got in an accident running away from her, chasing
- 3:12:32to the Golf Club or something like that.
- 3:12:34But Tigers ranked 2500 and 90th in the Official World Golf
- 3:12:38Ranking this year. He's the highest he was.
- 3:12:41Right again, right again. In late 2023, but obviously he
- 3:12:47spent the record makes me happy. I don't know if he said it said
- 3:12:50that 683 total weeks as a world #1.
- 3:12:53Yeah, long time ago, long time ago.
- 3:12:56It's been a long, long time since Tiger has been at that
- 3:13:01level, and I'm not. Again, I don't hate on Tiger
- 3:13:05Woods. I have a lot of respect for his
- 3:13:07achievements. He was a special player and I,
- 3:13:10like I said in the beginning of my monologue, I don't think
- 3:13:12we'll ever see a player do it as fast as he did it.
- 3:13:16But but to do the things that he has done in the past and do it
- 3:13:23the way he has done it, it's embarrassment.
- 3:13:26And if I was his son and his daughter and his former wife or
- 3:13:31ex-wife or whatever, and his mom who's still alive, I'd be
- 3:13:34embarrassed because this guy thinks he can buy his way out of
- 3:13:38trouble. That's the fact.
- 3:13:40And and and I'm sorry, that's the way he looks at the world.
- 3:13:43And that's the problem right now in professional sports.
- 3:13:45These guys, these athletes are making so much money.
- 3:13:48Who's the athlete that got into the car accident?
- 3:13:50The wide receiver who got into an accident and went to jail for
- 3:13:54two years. Who was the wide receiver from
- 3:13:56Sanford? Stallworth, Stallworth.
- 3:13:58No, no, not Stallworth. It was rugs.
- 3:14:01Rugs. It was, it was rugs.
- 3:14:03It was rugs. And he was a wide receiver.
- 3:14:06He was drafted by the Vegas Raiders, I think it was.
- 3:14:09And before everything happened, before everything happened, he
- 3:14:14was a part, his best friend died in a car accident that he was
- 3:14:17supposed to be in. He was supposed to be in that
- 3:14:20accident and he wasn't. And he blamed himself his whole
- 3:14:23career, all the way through playing for Alabama and then
- 3:14:27getting drafted. And then what did he do?
- 3:14:29He gets into a car accident. He drives drunk, intoxicated,
- 3:14:33and he kills somebody, kills a person and a dog, I think it
- 3:14:35was. And he thought he can get away
- 3:14:39with it. He thought he he tried to run,
- 3:14:42he tried to get out of that. Am I right?
- 3:14:44You, you, you left. But he did.
- 3:14:45He did. He did he.
- 3:14:47Did it? What do you mean he?
- 3:14:48Didn't think he could. Get away with it.
- 3:14:50If he thought he'd get away, what's the point of running?
- 3:14:52What was the point of doing all that?
- 3:14:54He didn't think he'd get away with it.
- 3:14:56That was just he made a bad judgement.
- 3:14:57He killed somebody and he ran. He didn't think he could get
- 3:15:01away. With it, How about Rice?
- 3:15:03How about Rice? He just killed somebody.
- 3:15:05How about Rice? How about Rice?
- 3:15:06What he did, he got into a car accident and then ran into a
- 3:15:08club and got into a fight. Rushi, Rushi Rice he got away
- 3:15:12with. He thought he did get away with
- 3:15:13it because the NFL didn't do anything to him.
- 3:15:15They did nothing to him. No, they didn't.
- 3:15:19No, because they couldn't. They couldn't pin.
- 3:15:21They couldn't pin him there. They couldn't.
- 3:15:24Even though it was his car. They couldn't pin him.
- 3:15:26Why? Because of money.
- 3:15:28Because of money. That's it.
- 3:15:30Because of money. It's because of.
- 3:15:32You you can get evidence despite.
- 3:15:34Evidence to what? Of him fleeing a scene he's
- 3:15:36already has he. Was fleeing.
- 3:15:38He fleed. There was nothing there to flee.
- 3:15:40There was nothing to be caught, because there was no.
- 3:15:43Camera if you can't prove that I did it and it's just my car
- 3:15:46involved with it. Oh, I'm sorry.
- 3:15:49I'm sorry. It's my car.
- 3:15:51I wasn't driving it. Somebody took it.
- 3:15:53And you got to prove that. I have a gash on the top of my
- 3:15:56eye and I go to a club and I'm hanging out and dancing around
- 3:15:59and I get into a fist fight with somebody else.
- 3:16:01Yeah, that's perfect. Absolutely perfect.
- 3:16:05And the cameras were right on him.
- 3:16:07And Rasheed Rice got away with it.
- 3:16:08Why? Because the NFL is all about
- 3:16:11protecting their. Players, that's a lot.
- 3:16:14As much as we get fined and suspended, they protected us.
- 3:16:18Yeah, dude, they've been protecting the players.
- 3:16:19No, no, quit, quit. And there's the disclaimer.
- 3:16:21You get protected when you play with the Chiefs that they love.
- 3:16:24What right When did he get protected?
- 3:16:27And he? Spent two years in jail.
- 3:16:28Right. Whoa, she.
- 3:16:30Rice. No.
- 3:16:33No, yes. And I'll tell you this if if
- 3:16:37rugs, if rugs got into that accident and got any somehow
- 3:16:42could have hold away with that car.
- 3:16:44Somehow. Some, I'm just saying we've seen
- 3:16:46things. What are you making jokes about?
- 3:16:49There are people, there are people that get into accidents
- 3:16:51and get away and they can never find the person that hit that
- 3:16:54Axe got into accident. They get rid of they they get
- 3:16:57rid of the car and they never find out what happened to the
- 3:16:59guy. Look at Aaron Hernandez.
- 3:17:01Aaron Hernandez shot up a car, killed two people and they hit
- 3:17:05his car and they couldn't find the car.
- 3:17:06So everybody forgot about it. Everybody forgot about it.
- 3:17:10Remember that? Remember that whole story?
- 3:17:13Yeah. So, so he got away with it.
- 3:17:16He got away with it for a while, and then he did get away with it
- 3:17:19at the end. He did.
- 3:17:21I'm just saying, athletes think they can get away with it
- 3:17:24because they got tons and tons of money.
- 3:17:26Not just athletes, people with money.
- 3:17:29What about regular? People, I said.
- 3:17:31Musicians, movie stars, movie stars too.
- 3:17:33Movie stars too. They.
- 3:17:35Get What about the regular people?
- 3:17:36The 95 people. Well, they don't get away.
- 3:17:38They don't get away with it. They get caught, they get
- 3:17:40caught, they get. Caught your penis stories where
- 3:17:43I grew up at it, got away with it.
- 3:17:46His cold case is all over the place.
- 3:17:48All right, listen, I'm just saying Tiger Woods thinks he's
- 3:17:52bigger than the world. He's bigger than everything and
- 3:17:55everybody, and he thinks he can get away with it.
- 3:17:57And I think he's wrong. I think he was wrong for what he
- 3:18:00did. I think he should apologize and
- 3:18:02he should take on the responsibility that you should
- 3:18:05not be driving while intoxicated.
- 3:18:08He said that the first time. And what did he do?
- 3:18:11He did it again. When is he going to learn?
- 3:18:14What does that look like for you?
- 3:18:15What is? What is take responsibility for
- 3:18:18being driving intoxicated? What does that look like for
- 3:18:20you? What do you mean?
- 3:18:21What does it look like for me? Like what it What will be
- 3:18:23satisfactory for you? I think Tiger Woods needs to go
- 3:18:27on 2020 and I, I'm being serious.
- 3:18:30I think he needs to go on 2020 or one of these Top End news
- 3:18:35broadcasts and he needs to speak about his problems.
- 3:18:39Whatever's going on in his life, he needs to speak up because
- 3:18:42nobody understands why Tiger is doing it.
- 3:18:45Nobody. All we know is it's Tiger Woods.
- 3:18:48It's the great Tiger Woods. The cops pull him over and he
- 3:18:50says, I'm Tiger Woods. You know who I am, I'm Tiger
- 3:18:52Woods. I mean, Justin Timberlake, when
- 3:18:55he got pulled over by the Sag Harbor police, he says Justin
- 3:18:59Timberlake, bye, bye, bye. You know, In Sync, you know, he
- 3:19:02thought he could get away with it because he's Justin
- 3:19:04Timberlake. Help me understand this.
- 3:19:06You believe that being accountable for your actions and
- 3:19:10then there's something that would help him. 100.
- 3:19:13Percent, 100% go live on a media platform.
- 3:19:18Not a not a media platform. I'm talking about speaking to
- 3:19:22the world because everybody looks up to you.
- 3:19:24Kids look up to you buy your still buy all the different
- 3:19:27things, your cards and, and and believe in you as a player.
- 3:19:31And you go out and not only try to almost kill somebody, you
- 3:19:35almost killed multiple people. And you sit there and say, well,
- 3:19:41I didn't take AD we I didn't take a DUI test because I don't
- 3:19:45need to because I'm Tiger Woods. I only have to spend 7 hours in
- 3:19:49in a jail cell because I've got billions and billions of dollars
- 3:19:52and I'm going to hire the best lawyers.
- 3:19:54Yeah, I think he needs to speak up.
- 3:19:56I think he needs to go out and say that I have a problem and I
- 3:19:58need to fix it because this is the problem right now in not
- 3:20:02just sports, in the world, when it comes to money, you think
- 3:20:06because you got money you can get away with it.
- 3:20:08And that to me is a big problem. Tiger Woods is not bigger than
- 3:20:13the world. He's not bigger than the law,
- 3:20:14and he needs to know that. That's why.
- 3:20:16The law The law provided him a way out for not having to take.
- 3:20:19Boy did they ever. Boy, did they ever.
- 3:20:22So he's about, he's obeying the law.
- 3:20:24No, he's obeying the law because.
- 3:20:25He's abiding nonsense. It's called money talks.
- 3:20:27That's what it's called. That's what it's all about.
- 3:20:30Now you keep playing. Money with the law protects him.
- 3:20:32The law gave him the right to refuse breath.
- 3:20:35Listen, the law. The same law you telling him
- 3:20:38the. Law that is wrong.
- 3:20:40Is the law that gave the. Law is.
- 3:20:42Wrong. Who refused the breathalyzer?
- 3:20:43That's what I'm telling you. My argument is the law is wrong
- 3:20:47and the law should drop the book on him.
- 3:20:49That's what the law should do. To say, hey, you better get any
- 3:20:53folks to vote. Well, you know what?
- 3:20:55If I ever became a congressman, a senator, or I should, I'd be
- 3:20:59great. I'd be like 4 scores in 7
- 3:21:02minutes ago. You know, I don't know about
- 3:21:04great, but you'd be. What makes you think I can't be
- 3:21:06great? I can speak.
- 3:21:08I can give my. I don't think you're political
- 3:21:11at all. What do you mean I'm not
- 3:21:12political? I could be very political.
- 3:21:14I'm just not talking politics. You can't be very.
- 3:21:16You can't be yeah, you got to continue.
- 3:21:18You got potential to be. I don't think you could be
- 3:21:20political. At all?
- 3:21:21Why not? But what makes you think I can't
- 3:21:22be? Political.
- 3:21:24You what they call a straight shooter.
- 3:21:26What are you talking about? I can't be, but you can't be
- 3:21:28politics. You can't be a politic being a
- 3:21:30straight shooter. I disagree on that one.
- 3:21:33How? Because Just because.
- 3:21:35Just because you think that I'm a straight shooter doesn't mean
- 3:21:38that I'm always straight when I'm throwing.
- 3:21:40If I'm playing darts and I'm trying to get a bullseye every
- 3:21:43single time, does it mean I'm going to get a bullseye every
- 3:21:45single time? Yes or no?
- 3:21:48Would you prop yourself? But no.
- 3:21:50No, I don't, not with me. That's what you think, that I
- 3:21:54think that I can. But no, I, I'm saying that
- 3:21:59there's always a time and a place and, and maybe it's a time
- 3:22:02and a place that I'm going to get a bullseye and sometimes I'm
- 3:22:04just not going to get it on the board.
- 3:22:06So I disagree with you. Anybody can be a politician if
- 3:22:09you have a belief in who you are and, and what you believe in
- 3:22:12and, and follow the way you believe the law should be held.
- 3:22:16That's, that's the way I think politicians and, and, and the
- 3:22:20way the law works. I don't want to get into
- 3:22:21politics because that's not my thing.
- 3:22:23But I can tell you this Tiger Woods will never be a
- 3:22:26politician. He will never be a senator.
- 3:22:28He will never be a congressman. They say never because there's
- 3:22:31been people who've been convicted of murder that are
- 3:22:33judges. Well, thank you anyways.
- 3:22:35We call this. What's that smell?
- 3:22:37Hold up, what is that smell? What's that?
- 3:22:43Smell. Wow, you don't see that every
- 3:22:47day. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:22:51our final segment of the night and there is some Men in Black
- 3:22:54Memory raiser. I think Quit Q needs a Men in
- 3:22:56Black Memory raiser on that one. That take definitely needs to
- 3:22:59send them back somewhere else. Anyways, so this is the game.
- 3:23:03It's very simple and this is the segment.
- 3:23:05We're going to tell you a story and we're going to tell you what
- 3:23:07it smells like. Any story, right?
- 3:23:09Right now that's going on in the world, except politics and
- 3:23:12religion, but sports, music, whatever you want.
- 3:23:15Acting, I guess there was stuff that happened this past couple
- 3:23:19of weeks. Michael B Jordan wins the Oscar
- 3:23:22for best man. I mean, what he did is he went
- 3:23:25to five guys. I mean, seriously, he went to
- 3:23:27Five Guys with his award and got himself a nice, nice.
- 3:23:30Sandwich in and out, actually. In and out, I'm sorry.
- 3:23:32In and out, whatever. Five guys, it's in and out,
- 3:23:35whatever. That's all this.
- 3:23:35It's all a burger joint. It's a burger joint.
- 3:23:37That's it. He went to a fast food
- 3:23:39restaurant. All right, so we're going to go
- 3:23:41poops fish. Q speedy me.
- 3:23:47Here we go. All right, so let's get this
- 3:23:49music going because I'm going to be going over to Goldberg.
- 3:23:53Now people will know the great Bill Goldberg from his time in
- 3:23:57WCW and WWE. Now the thing with Mr. Goldberg,
- 3:24:01everybody remembers his match last year against his retirement
- 3:24:04match against one of the best wrestlers right now in Gunther.
- 3:24:07However, he came out almost immediately a couple weeks after
- 3:24:11about how he was unappreciative of them cutting off his speech
- 3:24:14didn't give him a time to talk and the match was somewhat
- 3:24:17underwhelming. They should have given it on a
- 3:24:19better pay-per-view or what not. He said a fan.
- 3:24:22Actually today it's WrestleMania season, fans are coming around,
- 3:24:25legends are starting to pop out for the fans and what not.
- 3:24:28But a fan comes out and said and was criticizing how WWE cut him
- 3:24:32off and which he responded to saying, yeah, well, what do you
- 3:24:36think that did for me? It made me really happy saying
- 3:24:39sarcastically and it just shows that the disrespect that WWE had
- 3:24:43for me. Goldberg even then went to say
- 3:24:46yes, he 100% is agreeing with the fan after he called Triple
- 3:24:50HA Jackass. Now, I've been very, very
- 3:24:54critical of how Triple H has run certain things recently.
- 3:24:57However, Bill Goldberg, who hasn't been a superstar A
- 3:25:01spectacle since sliced bread is should be very happy that he
- 3:25:05even got himself a retirement match in the 1st place.
- 3:25:08I can't think of anybody with even anybody that's watched
- 3:25:11wrestling within the last 30 years who would say.
- 3:25:14In 2025, I was excited to see the retirement of of Bill
- 3:25:17Goldberg. Now he had the match.
- 3:25:19The match was someone underwhelming.
- 3:25:20Nobody thought he was going to win, nobody really cares or
- 3:25:22whatnot. And on top of that, his speech
- 3:25:24was already posted on it's on YouTube afterwards.
- 3:25:28Meanwhile, I don't know if he thought he was going to be
- 3:25:30giving a whole entire speech on an NBC broadcast, a national
- 3:25:33broadcast, but it really smells like a whole lot of bullcrap
- 3:25:38coming out of Goldberg's mouth. So that's what I'm going to be
- 3:25:41smell. It's well, that's that's I guess
- 3:25:46first beauty to figure out how it is bands.
- 3:25:48All right. I'm going to go to the New York
- 3:25:51Football Giants. Of course, of course you.
- 3:25:53Are. Well, here's the thing.
- 3:25:56The great new head coach John Harbaugh was talking to
- 3:26:01reporters when free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham junior's
- 3:26:07name came up. And man, it appears after his
- 3:26:12flag football event last week, Odell is ready to put the pads
- 3:26:17back on for Big Blue. John Harbaugh said.
- 3:26:20If Odell's an option, we'll be looking at him for sure.
- 3:26:24He has a strong relationship with Beckham.
- 3:26:26He played Harbaugh in 2023. Didn't really do that much back
- 3:26:30then. He had 565 yards, 3 touchdowns
- 3:26:33on 35 catches. He's only played nine games the
- 3:26:37past two years. He was suspended for PEDs and
- 3:26:40didn't get signed by anyone after.
- 3:26:42That you gotta have the booty. He and I do talk, we do text.
- 3:26:46We've maintained a really great relationship.
- 3:26:47He's one of my very favorite people in the world.
- 3:26:52It's not like you guys don't talk on things like that, and we
- 3:26:55certainly have. He tastes himself.
- 3:26:59He might, but Odell on many different levels is not the same
- 3:27:04player that he was. But just imagine another toe
- 3:27:05job. Malik neighbors LSU and the LSU
- 3:27:13patriarch, if you will. Odell Beckham together on a
- 3:27:17football field. Finkel is einhorn.
- 3:27:22And einhorn might be Finkel. What does it all smell like?
- 3:27:26It smells like. Can't wait.
- 3:27:30I was waiting for something, Errol.
- 3:27:31I knew he got a million things that could smell like.
- 3:27:33I mean, I can smell like a lot of things, but, you know,
- 3:27:36anything with the giant smells like gone.
- 3:27:38What does it smell like? Smells like a championship for
- 3:27:40Big Blue. Oh my God.
- 3:27:50All right, Q, let's hear it. Think I'm gonna go with the
- 3:27:53football Jets. Figures.
- 3:27:57So we were talking about a little bit earlier about Ty
- 3:27:59Simpson going to 16 pick, but I'm really seeing that they
- 3:28:04trade that pick out and not take Ty Simpson at #16 And so
- 3:28:08although I think everybody on this panel thinks that he's a
- 3:28:12quarterback for the future, I don't see Gino being a great
- 3:28:16leader to coach or basically mentor a quarterback into a win
- 3:28:22this season. So I'm smelling BS on that pic
- 3:28:27of #16 going to Ty Simpson from the Alabama and I know Errol and
- 3:28:31his resources is going to be offended by that but good luck.
- 3:28:35It's nonsense stuff but a bunch of random people nonsense.
- 3:28:41Take my nonsense. I smell BS on Ty Simpson going
- 3:28:44#16 or smell poop #16 to the New York Jets and look forward to
- 3:28:52being right once irrelevant. I went for call your shot for
- 3:28:56the UNC men's team. I'm going to go to the UNC
- 3:28:58women's team that not directly evolved on them, but they were
- 3:29:00one of the teams that were victimized by what Gino Auriemma
- 3:29:03called malpractice. He called out the NCAA March
- 3:29:07Madness basketballs and the practice schedule for the Sweet
- 3:29:0916 and the ILI 8. The the two site regionals was
- 3:29:12what he was specifying. He claimed that they bring in
- 3:29:15new baskets, new basketballs right out-of-the-box.
- 3:29:17Yukon, the women. Big boobs.
- 3:29:18Played North Carolina in Fort Worth at a stadium that's more
- 3:29:22known for its rodeo more than more than anything else, but was
- 3:29:26very critical of the fact they only got 1/2 hour practice time.
- 3:29:28Had to share a lot of the same facilities, the locker room,
- 3:29:30stuff like that with eight teams, all soccer basically in
- 3:29:33two facilities. And this has been a problem with
- 3:29:36the NCAA they. Go check your lug nuts.
- 3:29:38They had the problem where they were showing all the the food
- 3:29:41that the women's basketball players were being served and it
- 3:29:43was not a lot of it. In previous years that ended up
- 3:29:46going viral for how poorly they were treated.
- 3:29:48And now just another instance of it where they're just not
- 3:29:50getting as much as they should and not treated well.
- 3:29:53So what does that smell like? It's loose.
- 3:29:54It smells like a bunch of bull crap or bind with Husky crap
- 3:29:59mixed with tar being splattered by a pie into Charlie Baker NCAA
- 3:30:04commissioner's face. Husky crap.
- 3:30:08Husky bowl filled with tar into one pie in Charlie Baker's face.
- 3:30:12What's how I eat my string cheese?
- 3:30:14And maybe why that topic of your string cheese?
- 3:30:16So why not? Whore bag.
- 3:30:20All right, the final What's that smell goes to the Ravens
- 3:30:24president as he blames slow news cycle for a Crosbys Knicks trade
- 3:30:30fallout. The Baltimore Ravens team
- 3:30:32president Sashi Brown said on Monday that the rescinding of
- 3:30:36Max Crosby trade won't negatively affect the team's
- 3:30:40reputation, chalking up the criticism to a slow news cycle.
- 3:30:46We've got a strong, long relationship across the league,
- 3:30:49Brown said at the annual league meeting.
- 3:30:52We have emphasized the importance of doing things the
- 3:30:55right way, really the right way. Let me see, you traded 2 first
- 3:31:03round draft picks. You asked the guy to come down
- 3:31:06with him and his family to check out his knee, which by the way
- 3:31:09is a torn meniscus, which has been said to not be a problem at
- 3:31:14all all season long for him to be ready for OTAs.
- 3:31:17And you decided, hey, you know what, we rather Trey
- 3:31:21Hendrickson, we don't have to give up to a first round draft
- 3:31:24picks and we don't have to deal with any back end stuff that we
- 3:31:28have to deal with. Max Crosby.
- 3:31:29What a load of garbage. What a load of shit comes out of
- 3:31:35Sashi Brown's mouth. It's garbage, it's stupid, it's
- 3:31:39dumb. You know what it smells like?
- 3:31:41It smells like the garbage that's going to be coming out of
- 3:31:43my ass tonight before I go in for my colonoscopy.
- 3:31:47That's what it smells like, all right?
- 3:31:49It is absolute ridiculousness, It really is for you to go out,
- 3:31:54you're the president of the Ravens.
- 3:31:56To go out there and stand up and stick up for your God forsaken
- 3:32:01GM that just is an idiot. The organization that's really
- 3:32:05looked bad over the last year and a half on the way you treat
- 3:32:10players and treat coaches and your staff, it's just a joke.
- 3:32:15And you know what? Maybe John Harbaugh, Harbaugh is
- 3:32:17better off being with the Giants.
- 3:32:19But is he? Because the Giants organization
- 3:32:21has been a joke too, on the way they treat their coaches.
- 3:32:24Look what Dabel did over the last couple of years over there
- 3:32:27with his coaching staff, throwing his coaches to the
- 3:32:30wolf. So I got to deal with going to a
- 3:32:33doctor's office tomorrow, being put to sleep with anaesthesia,
- 3:32:38and waking up hoping the doctor tells me that I'm safe in my
- 3:32:42rear end. All right, that's what I got to
- 3:32:44deal with. All right, that's what I got to
- 3:32:46deal with. I've been on the bowl probably
- 3:32:51about 6 times during the show. You guys didn't even see, you
- 3:32:54know, I am. I've been fast.
- 3:32:56I've been witty. I you can call me Twinkle Toes
- 3:32:58tonight, but anyways, I'm not, you know, twinkling away from
- 3:33:02trying to get myself out of trouble like Tiger Woods did.
- 3:33:05But you know, I'm twinkling something, I'm spraying
- 3:33:08something, just spraying in a different way.
