Set 1: A Bad Ticker · Stugotz and Company

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The Rex was not chasing the Jeep. Murray!
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Murray, you there?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You love sandwiches, huh? Let's go to 80. His name
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: is Bo. Wow. That's prime time, baby. I had a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: crush on Betty Rubble.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Coachman was black. He cost them the game last night.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Although they won the game. You're listening to Stugatz & Company.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Stugatz & Company is presented by FanDuel and the FanDuel Sportsbook.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I sit down today. There's a Think About It Thursday
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: on the sheet. But the discussion before the show, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I have never heard this much discussion about this particular topic,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is the ticker.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about our hearts.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the ticker, the scroll that you see
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: on the bottom of your television screen during college football Saturdays,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: NFL Sundays, pretty much all the time. We've become accustomed
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to it. Why is it going away, Taylor? Do we
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: have any idea? This is an outrage, by the way.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: ESPN saying they want a cleaner broadcast.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Less clutter.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Less clutter.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about it, Mikey?
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: This makes me so mad. I mean, in a week
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: where we lost Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, this is
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: just up there with another terrible loss for the American people.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, who doesn't love the damn ticker?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. I mean, tragedies happen in threes. We know that.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I'll say something, Mikey. I could do without the ticker.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: What?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I think the ticker.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: How is that possible?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I think the ticker is a nice addition to a broadcast.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: But by week two, I will forget that the ticker
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: was even there in the first place. Because for the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: most part, when I'm watching a game. I know what
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: scores I'm keeping my eye around the country, and I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: watching the updates on my phone because I want to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: see the down and distance. I want to see where
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: they are in the drive. All things that really are
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: not on the ticker. The ticker is basically there just
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: to give you the score and the time left in
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the game. You're not getting a ton of information from
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the ticker that you're not just getting already on your phone.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They've made advancements in the ticker. Sorry, Mikey. They have.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes some tickers, all tickers are different. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: feel like they do give you down and distance and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: situations and all that.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: No, the ones on the ESPN broadcast, they're going too fast.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: First off, they're trying to make it a two screen experience.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: They want you watching ESPN and on the ESPN app
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: so that you can follow all that stuff. And frankly,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I won't use the ESPN app for scores now just
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: because they took away the ticker. And what the worst
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: part is, I think ESPN had the best ticker in
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: the game because it would flash yellow when a team scored,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and then it would flip over, and you're sitting there going, oh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: is it a field goal or is it a touchdown?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: And it would flip the six, and you're like, yeah,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: they got the touchdown. That's all right. And not only that, Taylor,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: now you've got me having to look at my phone
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: instead of watching the screen when there's a big upset.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: If there's a big upset brewing, that's when I'm watching
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: the ticker. If there's... How will I even know if
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: there is one without the ticker?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: How is he supposed to flip over to that game
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: unless he sees it on the ticker?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it is. That's what it's there for.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I'm with Mikey on this.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: The ticker is my alert.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm not buying that Taylor is okay with
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the ticker going away. I got to be honest with you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: In the year 2026, when there are so many things
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to worry about in my daily life, the ticker going
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: away is not even in the top 100 things of
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: things I'm worried about.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: It's number two for me.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm watching Auburn, Alabama, and there's a score in
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the Missouri game. Let me see how they scored. Let
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: me open my phone.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: It's a field goal. How do you know there's a
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: score in the Missouri game, Taylor?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Because I have my phone open to the scores to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: see what's going on.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Right, but then you're not paying attention to the actual
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: game that's on your television screen.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: The phone is a staple already for a college football Saturday.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: A phone is a staple. A second screen is a staple.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: A laptop is a staple.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And so is a ticker. I mean, if you saw.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: My setup for college football Saturdays, it looks like a
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: command center. It looks like the replay command center, how
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: many screens and how many things I have going on
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: where I'm not getting a ton. The only thing the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: ticker I'll say is if I see something, if I
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: see a closer game, I might just be alerted to it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: 10 seconds sooner, and then I'll switch over to that game.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, those 10 seconds mean everything.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Listen, I don't want two screens on my phone.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I don't want to look at my phone. I'm tired
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of my phone. No, I don't.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Because, you know, as somebody who has probably placed a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: few wagers, I don't want to keep looking at my wagers.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I don't want to because I'll drive myself insane. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: like to put my phone away. Not only that, Taylor–
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I'll use a perfect example. We've been talking about Ohio State.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: If they lose to Ball State in week one, I
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: will never turn that game on unless all of a
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: sudden it's like, you know, Ball State's up in the
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: third quarter. Maybe I got to put that on. I'll
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: never know they're up in the third quarter unless the ticker.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: How are we supposed to know when Ball State is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: up 21 points on Ohio State?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Ryan Day loses that game and still keeps his job.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, need a ticker.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I'm laughing because Brian Schottenheimer on my television screen is
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: quoted as saying, we got the right guys. And I'm
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: just thinking, imagine a coach coming out before the season,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just two weeks before the season, saying, hey, you know what?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We don't have the right guys.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: It's like I'm in the worst shape of my life
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: as opposed to, oh, yeah, I came into camp, best
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: shape of my life. One guy comes out, man. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: let myself go this offseason.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Is there a single coach that would say we don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: have the right guys? What coaches are thinking? They're all
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going to say the same thing. We've got the right guys.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But what coaches are thinking, hey, we don't have the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: right guys?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Didn't Vrabel essentially said that? Hey, we're not a deep team.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: We don't have the right depth.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: He did say that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: He kind of said it. He kind of said, we
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: don't have the right guys.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's making excuses already. How about that?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: We have some of the right guys, but we don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: have all the right guys.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Is it Todd Munkin? Is he the coach of the Browns?
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He might say we have the right guys, but he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: knows deep down inside, he don't have the right guys.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I want a coach to come out and give a
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: real cryptic message and just be like, we have all
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: the right guys except for one.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: And they go, which one?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: He knows who he is. And every single player is going,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: damn it, am I the guy? I better work harder.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I might be the one guy he's talking about.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: That guy would be the Falcons head coach, right? I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you hear Tua is so bad.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He's been so bad in Michael Penix's absence, not just
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in the games, but in practice as a leader just everywhere.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Tua has been so bad that Michael Penix is going
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to get that job.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: It's insane. It's his job to lose.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: He just got cleared for 11-on-11 drills, let alone actually
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: playing in a game. He just got cleared to do
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: drills with 22 people, and they're like, yeah, he's still
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: beating Tua.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do about this ticker. Taylor
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: wants to stay on the ticker. I'm outraged about the ticker.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain he realizes. It's one of those things
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you're not going to realize how useful it was until
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it's gone.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: On NFL, you're watching an NFL game on CBS. There's
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: no bottom line ticker. You're watching an NFL game on Fox.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: There's no bottom line ticker. What's the difference between an
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: NFL Sunday and a college football Saturday?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Easy. That is absolutely false. There is a scrolling score.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: And not only that, CBS gives you all the fantasy stuff,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: which I love. And they're going.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: To add him shine at least 15 times a quarter.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Am I misremembering? CBS doesn't have a bottom line ticker.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: They absolutely do. And they give you fantasy updates during
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: it too.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I'm almost positive they don't have a bottom line ticker.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: We're going to have to get to the bottom of this.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: We'll look it up. How are you going to get
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to the bottom of it?
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: And I would also say the NFL is a little
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: bit different because most of us have red zone on
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: in some capacity. You're like, okay, I'm following along. even
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: if it's just one screen.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: There are so many games on a college football Saturday.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The NFL only has a certain amount, obviously.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Listen, it's just become a part of me.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I love that damn ticker, and I want it in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: my life. I don't want things leaving my life. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: want my phone to leave my life. That's the thing
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with on the weekend, the ticker.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's such a benign thing. I love the ticker. I'm
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: going to miss you, ticker.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: So, a quick Google search. CBS football broadcasts do not
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: use a bottom-of-the-screen score ticker during live games.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: No.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Major broadcast networks like Fox and NBC also air their
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: football games without an on-screen ticker.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: That's Sunday Night Football for NBC.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: That's false.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: They have a score bug there in the corner.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: That's false. They do.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: A score bug. Yeah. So, ESPN is the only one
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: who had the ticker?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: That's what it looks like.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like Fox had a ticker. I do.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I feel like they all have a ticker.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, now none of them have a ticker.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: This is the Mandela effect where I think you guys
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: are imagining that broadcast networks have tickers on the bottom.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Of the screen. It is such a part of me
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and becomes such a big part of my life, I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: see it on every single channel.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: How about that? I'm watching HBO and I feel like
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: there's a ticker.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: This person is currently sitting in the Game of Thrones,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: in the Iron Throne.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That's what's I mean, it's football scores scrolling across your
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: television screen.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Who wants that to go away? Who doesn't want it?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Not only that, the Yankees get put up there. It's like, oh, yeah,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: the Yankees are on.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I don't need less clutter. I need more clutter when
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the Jets. To distract me from watching what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it is I'm watching.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: You know what I think happened? ESPN had to let
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: go of the guy who was in charge of the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: ticker because they had to make room for more of
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the kicker, Pat McAfee.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Feel good about that one?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Not really.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: They let somebody go, and they're like, oh, does anybody
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: else know how to do the ticker? And they're like, no,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: you just got rid of the one guy that knows
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: how to do it. Pat McAfee gets another $ 20 an hour.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: And they go, oh, all right, I guess we won't
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: do the ticker then.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: It was ticker, kicker. You get it?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: No, we get it. The rhyme, yep, all of it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking how you felt about it, that's all. Lonely.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: As you should.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Like the ticker, lonely now. I mean, just tick it
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: away and no one's watching. Yeah, Mikey.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I'm just so upset that I'm now going to see
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: another half inch of the bottom of the screen that
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I don't need to see.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: But at least Brian Schottenheimer has the right guys. It's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: unbelievable football, man. We're getting close. Taylor, what did you
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: learn here about Mike Francesa's son? This is interesting to me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I am aware that Francesa has a son. I know
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: his son plays football. What did you learn that was
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: shocking to you?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: So he has a son, Harrison Francesa, who works in
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: sports media.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: But what words, when I say the word Mike Francesa,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: what would you say are the words most synonymous with
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: his name?
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Pope.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Keep going.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Back after this.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Keep going.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Win-loss. Win-loss.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: More broad, more broad of a term. Or more broad
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: of maybe a region.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: New York.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: When you think Mike Francesa, bingo, Mikey, you think New
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: York sports.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: What a stupid question, of course.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they go together like peanut butter and jelly.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Mike Francesa, New York sports.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Which is why finding out his son is a Chiefs
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and Suns fan. So disappointing.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Really.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I don't want to tell anybody how to raise their kids,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: especially Mike Francesa. I respect Mike Francesa. I love Mike Francesa.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, we all do.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: But when you are New York sports, you cannot let
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: that happen in your household. That's embarrassing that your son
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: grows up. The son of a New York sports icon.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And he says, I'm not going to root for the Jets.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to root for the Giants. I'm not
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: going to root for the New York Knicks. Who am
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I going to root for? Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: City Chiefs and the Phoenix Suns.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: The Phoenix Suns haven't been relevant in this kid's entire lifetime.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: What's his first name? Harrison. Maybe Harrison Francesa. That's a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: great name. has a perfectly good reason as to why
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: he's a fan of those teams. Maybe mom? I don't know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Here's your reason why you should be a Knicks fan.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Your dad's the Pope. Yes.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: 20 shares. Put it on the poll.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: If your dad is the Pope, do you automatically become
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a Knicks fan? because I think I'm with you on that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Joe Beningo, this would not happen over his dead body.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: He would never allow this to happen.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, never.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Remember, we had Mike Norvell on, and we asked him
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: if his kids wanted to go to Miami, and he
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: said certain color schemes don't.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Work in our house.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Not going to have it. No green and orange.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So you're outraged that Francesa allowed this to happen. Where
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: is your outrage exactly? Is it with Mike Francesa or
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Harrison Francesa?
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So I don't think it's on the sun. The sun
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: just grew up. having the free reign of whatever team
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: he wants to cheer for.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: And his son chose the Suns.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: How do you feel now?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Slightly better than Taylor. Just slightly. A little less lonely,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: but slightly better.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: So I'm not going to put the blame on Harrison Francesa.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: This blame is falling entirely... on the dad's shoulder, on
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Mike Francesa's shoulder, as much as I hate to say it,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: because I think you do have a certain obligation as
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: somebody without kids. Mikey, I feel like, Mikey, you would
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: be a good person to weigh in on this. You
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: have to pass down your sports fandoms to your kids,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: and if you're as big as Mike Francesa is in
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the New York region, there's a responsibility on him to say,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: my kid is going to carry this legacy and be
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: New York sports, not The Phoenix Suns.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I don't disagree. When you are, it's not even like
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: he picked the other New York team. It's not even like,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: you know, Mike likes the Jets, and he was like,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: you know what, I'm going to be a Giants fan.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: You'd be like, okay, I get it. It's still the
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: market share.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: The Phoenix Suns, the Kansas City Chiefs, first off, front
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: runner on the Chiefs.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: You were raised better than that. Secondly.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: He missed out on the Knicks. I mean, Jesus. Go ahead.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Now I'm going to listen to anything Francesa ever says
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: through the vein of if he says anything about the Chiefs,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I'm like, where'd he get that from his son? His
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: son's giving him takes now.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: It's not like his dad was passing along bad teams,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to your guy's point.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: It's the Giants and the Yankees. And the Knicks.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: So we don't know about his favorite baseball team. If
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan, I'm assuming you're a
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Yankee fan because it's just convenient at that point. Right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Can we get Harrison Francesa on the show?
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: We've had Colin Russo on the show, Christopher Mad Dog
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Russo's son.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Can we get Harrison Francesa on?
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm efforting a podcast, Harrison Francesa and Colin Russo.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Are you?
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Have them co-host it with Mike Golick Jr. and T-Bob.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez. How do you feel, Colin?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: How do you think Colin Russo would feel about Harrison
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Francesa being a fan of the Phoenix Suns?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I mean. That would be a great show. Fireworks.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I think this is more of an indictment on today's kids, actually,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: because I don't think kids today are growing up saying,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I'm a New York Knicks fan or I'm a New
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: York Yankees fan. They're looking around and saying, in the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: social media age where highlights are available on your phone,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: one of the reasons why we don't need a bottom
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: line ticker, by the way.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Kids are looking at their phone and saying, who's the
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: best player in the league? I'm going to be that
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: person's fan. Like, I'm not a Warriors fan. I'm a
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Steph Curry fan. I'm not a Chiefs fan. I'm a
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes fan. And I think it's an indictment on
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: kids today.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: In fairness to Harry Francesa, okay, in fairness to him,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: when Mike was doing his show, those teams were good.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Harrison, how old is Harrison Francesa?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Because I'm guessing he grew up during a time where
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the Knicks were lousy, where the Giants have been every bit.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: As bad as the New York Jets over the last
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: 15 years. Go ahead.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Boo-hoo, the Knicks were lousy. Like all sports teams go
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: through periods of times where their teams are lousy.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: You're from New York.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Your dad is the Pope of New York. Go through
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: a couple of bad seasons. The bad seasons that I
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: went through as the Knicks made that championship even better,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: where it was like I could have grew up and said, oh,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I'm a Cleveland Cavaliers fan because LeBron James is here.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I understand all of that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just guessing that Harrison was seeing bad year after
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: bad year after bad year after bad year after bad year.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Dad, what are you talking about? You told me these
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: teams were great.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: They're not great. They're lousy every freaking year. And therefore,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to root for Kansas City and Phoenix.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: How about that? I mean.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I'm going to defend the Franceses here for just a
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: quick minute.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: At least they're not rival. He's not rival fans. He's
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: not a fan of the Dallas Cowboys or the Philadelphia
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Eagles or the Boston Celtics. At least he's like, you
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: know what? If I'm not going to be in this
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: bubble where I should be, don't get me wrong, absolutely
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: should be in the bubble, I'm going to go way out.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go way out of it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Western Conference in the NBA.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I'll go AFC in the NFL so I'm not rooting
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: against the Giants all the time.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: At least I'll give him that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: So the kid from New York deserves credit for not
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: picking a Boston team?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's where Mike draws the line.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, that bar is ridiculously low.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I just tiptoed over that bar that you just said there,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that the New York kid didn't pick a Boston team,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: and he deserves a pat on the back for not
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: being a Red Sox fan.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: He chose two benign teams that no one cares about.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody. I mean, the Chiefs, maybe.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I just added somebody to our podcast network, too. Who?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Craig Carton's son.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. All the sons. Does Booms have a son?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the Nepo Radio Network. Next up, Coattails.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Please make this happen. It should be the Coattails Network.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Our drive time spot is Jack Collinsworth. And Noah Eagle.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: And Noah Eagle, I was going to say. He beat
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: me to the punch.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to defend Noah Eagle here for a second.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: He's great.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: There's times where you see nepotism at work and you're like, man,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: kudos to nepotism because nepotism hit one out of the park.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Noah Eagle is fantastic.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: He's great. Yes. Like he'd be exactly where he is
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: without his dad.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And so was collinsworth by the way he's fantastic they're
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: both great broadcasters and so is colin russo by the way.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: It's great michael jr.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Oh well that goes without saying i got you go
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: joe i mean that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I asked him to join us today he hasn't responded
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you want to uh retract your statement No.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I think we should make the whole thing run by
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Rachel Wiener.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Done.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: She might start hosting the show soon. You guys going
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to carry her for a couple of weeks?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You have to. I mean, you carried me for a
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: year at least.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: How up to tune is she on the New York Yankees?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: She hates the Yankees. Oh, wow.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Really? Really. She's a Mets fan. Oh, okay. She's a
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Jets fan.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Respect. See? There's the perfect example.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I regret doing it to her.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Stu, in the moments like the Knicks championship
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: where you're able to celebrate with your daughter and see,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I passed this fandom onto my daughter. If for some reason,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: some miracle, the New York Jets ever win a Super
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Bowl and you're able to celebrate it with your daughter,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: won't you be like, wow, I am so glad that
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: She didn't become a Chargers fan because they have Justin Herbert,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and Justin Herbert was her favorite quarterback. It's ridiculous.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what's ridiculous is you have the Jets winning
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: You know, Taylor, the more you talk, the more I'm listening.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: And I'm just sitting there going, you know, if I'm
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: a Jets fan and my kid's a Jets fan and
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: they eventually win the Super Bowl. We are going to cry.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: We are going to celebrate. If my kid becomes a
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Chiefs fan and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, my
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: kid's going to be happy, and all I'm going to
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: be thinking is, fuck you. Right.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I'd punish my kid.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Go clean your room.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I'm so tired of you Jets fans. Jets fans are
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: woe is me. And then Mikey sending in our group
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: text yesterday, a report that Mike Tomlin might make a
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: comeback next season with the Jets. Lamar Jackson's going to
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: force a trade.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It was Jason La Conforna who made the report. Mikey
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: sent it to us. We haven't even started this season,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: but that's how Jet fans roll. We're already focused on
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: For the record, Taylor, I sent it because I was
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: laughing about it. I sent it not because I'm like, ooh,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: look at this. I sent it because I was like,
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: look at this stupidity that we're already getting.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It's the most excited I've been since the last AFC
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Championship game with Sanchez.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you how I perceived it. I perceived it as,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: this season's going to be so bad, I need some
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: fan fiction to get me excited for this season. Lamar Jackson,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin, I'm like, guys... We haven't even finished preseason
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: football yet. Let the Jets kick off week one and
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: disappoint you before we start talking about, is it Lamar
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Jackson going to be the next Jets quarterback? Is it
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow going to be the next Jets quarterback? Who's
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: going to replace Aaron Glenn at head coach? Like, let
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: this team fail first. They're going to fail, but let
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: them fail first.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: How about you let us dream and dream big? I mean,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I am more excited at who might be our quarterback
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: next season than I've ever been for the actual quarterback.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: So I've been slamming Harrison Francesa this entire podcast about
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: his fandom and Mike Francesa being a bad dad.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: You love the Francesas.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I love the Francesas, obviously. I also forgot that I
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: gave up my Jets fandom.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Ah, see?
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: We didn't. Hypocrite.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: We didn't.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Imagine when Lamar becomes the quarterback of the New York Jets, okay?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: And it's not on the scroll because there's no more ticker.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, see.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Taylor, you gotta, you gotta learn the circle of the
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: jets and how they're used by all these people. The
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: jets are the boogeyman to every other team. Every, every
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: person who wants a new contract, every coach who wants
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: a job, they go, well, I guess the jets look
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: pretty good. just enough to make the other person it
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: happened with Vrabel Vrabel was like no I want the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Patriots job but there's not a job available I guess
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I'll meet with the Jets and all of a sudden
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the Patriots like all right all right come on over
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: come on over it happened with Tyreek Hill oh the
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Jets are the Chiefs are going to trade Tyreek Hill
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: to the to the Jets and the Dolphins are like
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: all right here's another pick come on over that's what
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: the Jets are they are the boogeyman to everybody yep.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Stu, you just mentioned about finding out if Lamar Jackson
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: went to the Jets from the bottom line ticker. And
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: once you said that, I realized what the bottom line
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: ticker is. The bottom line ticker are these NFL insiders
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: that you guys love where it's like breaking news, blank
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: is signing with blank. And then 20 minutes later, if
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: that person never reported it, the teams would just announce
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: them themselves.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Right, I understand that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: So you're kind of just cutting out the middleman of
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: a pretty useless thing that people are just hanging on
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: to just for, I don't know, learning about it two
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: minutes faster?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two minutes means everything. I mean... Game of seconds.
