- 3:44worldwidesportsradio.com. I've been twirling in this chair
- 3:49all freaking time. I, I will say this a lot to get
- 3:53into with football. It's been a crazy, crazy weekend
- 3:56for New York sports, especially Aaron Judge is the new American
- 4:01League NVP. I think people forget about
- 4:03that. I think that was the thing that
- 4:06just launched for all the people out there that were not thinking
- 4:10that it was going to be him. It's not Raleigh.
- 4:12It is the one and only Aaron Judd that is going to win the
- 4:16American League MVP. But I, I will say this and I, I
- 4:20know a lot of people sitting here today are probably
- 4:22wondering my thoughts or all of our thoughts on what happened to
- 4:26the New York Giants in their debacle.
- 4:30There's a lot, a lot to get into with the New York Giants and
- 4:35their organization. And the reason why is, ladies
- 4:38and gentlemen, is I just got I just finished watching the
- 4:41Saquon Barkley documentary. And if you're a giant fan and
- 4:48watch that, it would piss you off.
- 4:52I don't care who you are. And I know everybody keeps
- 4:55saying it won't be announced. He it is, it's it's what has
- 4:58been said. It hasn't been announced.
- 5:00Fish. I know it's not been announced,
- 5:03but it's pretty much in the bag for Aaron Judge.
- 5:06I read a bunch of things that he's getting all the 1st place
- 5:09votes. It will be announced in November
- 5:1213th. Aaron Judge is going to win the
- 5:14MVP. I'm telling you right now, you
- 5:17could book it. I've read a bunch of stories.
- 5:20He's winning it, so you could say it's going to be announced
- 5:23November 13th. I read a bunch of things over
- 5:26the last past couple of 48 hours, 72 hours that Aaron Judge
- 5:30is winning the 1st place votes, which tells me he's going to win
- 5:35the MVP. So it's not going to be rally,
- 5:38it's going to be Aaron Judge. And you will hear the
- 5:40announcement November 13th. It will be Aaron Judge and it's
- 5:43going to be a landslide, all right?
- 5:45It's a. It'll be interesting to see but
- 5:47the the difference between the MVPS because there's multiple
- 5:50MVPS technically that they vote on, but obviously the the riders
- 5:54one is the one that counts when they have that.
- 5:56But it'll be interesting to see like some of the the minor, I
- 6:01guess publications or whatever for MVP to see because there's
- 6:04Cal Raleigh's got one already from like I can't even remember
- 6:07what it was. But it'll be interesting to see
- 6:10if he if he gets any first place votes on like on the big MVP
- 6:14ones. What I'm what I'm hearing is
- 6:16Aaron Judge is winning on a landslide.
- 6:18A lot of different writers have written stories over the past 24
- 6:22to 48 hours and they're saying that Aaron Judge is running away
- 6:26with it right now. So we'll see.
- 6:28We'll see what happens. I'm pretty sure about this.
- 6:31You can book it, you can send it in.
- 6:33He's going to win the American League MVP.
- 6:36I'm positive on that. And you would remember I said
- 6:38this when November 13th comes around and they say Aaron Judge
- 6:42wins on a landslide, the MVP. But I watched, I finished
- 6:47watching the Saquon Barkley story and the documentary and I
- 6:53was shocked on what I watched today.
- 6:57I, I, I'm really, really shocked because if anybody has watched
- 7:02this documentary, you would understand what the Giants did
- 7:05to this guy. This guy wanted to be a New York
- 7:08Giant. He wanted to stay a New York
- 7:10Giant. As a matter of fact, he told
- 7:13Mara that he would take 11 and a half million dollars if they
- 7:17offered him the guaranteed money right off the bat, that he would
- 7:22stay with the Giants for 11 and a half million dollars.
- 7:24He said it on the documentary and Mara was not going to obey.
- 7:30He wasn't going to agree by it and either did Joe Shane.
- 7:33Joe Shane was sitting there. He talked to Joe Shane three
- 7:37times on that documentary and Joe said Joe Shane told him,
- 7:40Mara's not trading you, Mara's not trading you.
- 7:43So you're going to either have to play out, you're going to
- 7:45have to play out your contract or play out the franchise tag
- 7:49and and deal with it or don't play sit out.
- 7:53Pretty much what he was telling them.
- 7:55And so bad, it was so bad that Saquon Barkley fired his agent,
- 8:01his old agent, which he's been, he's been with really since
- 8:04college, since Penn State. And then he hired a new agent
- 8:08because he didn't like how his old agent was working the phones
- 8:13with the New York Giants, didn't like how she was really
- 8:16negotiating his contract. And and you could see how
- 8:20frustrated Saquon Barkley was. And as much as he didn't want to
- 8:25be an Eagle, he was happy the Eagles gave him that extension.
- 8:28He was happy that he was going to be an Eagle because the
- 8:31Eagles offered him $25 million guaranteed, which the Giants
- 8:34would not. And all Joe Shane kept saying in
- 8:38the documentary is it to Saquon is, well, we got to fill in
- 8:43certain spots. We got to fill in certain roster
- 8:46spots. Saquon, we, we respect you.
- 8:48We love what you do. You're a big part of this
- 8:51franchise. You're the face of this
- 8:52franchise, but we can't pay you. Do you think he was was was he
- 8:57getting an earful like Joe Shane from somebody or what do you
- 9:00think? I don't think so.
- 9:01I think Joe Shane was making the decisions and he was speaking to
- 9:05Mara marijuana this being thing done.
- 9:07But Joe Shane was saying well, we need to fill in this spot.
- 9:09We need to fill in that spot where we care.
- 9:11We're weak there. And Saquon was the face of the
- 9:15organization. As a matter of fact, there were
- 9:17tons of analysts on the documentary that said, who does
- 9:21everybody line up for to get their autograph?
- 9:23Nobody was lining up for Dexter Lawrence.
- 9:25Nobody was lining up for Daniel Jones.
- 9:27Nobody was lining up again for any of their stars, even Burns
- 9:31when he got there. Nobody was lining up for.
- 9:35They were lining up for Saquon Barkley.
- 9:38And Saquon was the superstar. He was the face of the
- 9:41organization and they decided in such a unique way, and I'm
- 9:48trying to make excuses, make excuses for this, this player
- 9:52that has been the face of the organization for five years.
- 9:55And and what's so interesting about Saquon Barkley is the
- 9:58documentary. Why he made this documentary was
- 10:02really to follow through on his career.
- 10:06And he started this in 2019 before he was drafted by the New
- 10:11York Giants. When his final years at final
- 10:14year at Penn State and he got so much video, you got a chance to
- 10:17get to know his family. His sisters weren't on it.
- 10:19I know he's one out of seven kids.
- 10:21I think he has six sisters and he's one.
- 10:23He's only there's only one brother, but I, I will say this.
- 10:28So how so? How long was the the
- 10:30documentary's been Don't like has been?
- 10:32Documentary's done. It was a 2 hour.
- 10:34Documentary was an hour and. 45 but it started in 2019. 2019 Now
- 10:40he's got video of when he was a kid and you see a lot of things
- 10:43and they they talk about his parents were in the documentary.
- 10:47You got to get to know a little bit about his father, that his
- 10:49father was in jail and that his mother kind of saved his
- 10:53father's life and moved, they moved away.
- 10:56His mother got him away. And when his father was doing
- 10:58drugs, his mother was doing 2, working 2 jobs, three jobs to
- 11:02keep food on the table. And that they were talking about
- 11:06they, they were living in one room with heaters and, and they
- 11:09were, they weren't living on the streets, but they were
- 11:12practically living on the streets, streets.
- 11:14It's, it's a crazy story. And and you look at Sequin
- 11:17Barkley now and just how great of a man he is and you see the
- 11:21growth of his children in the documentary.
- 11:24It's fantastic. It's a really, really good
- 11:26documentary by prime. I give a shout out to prime
- 11:30prime sports for putting out a documentary like that.
- 11:32It was sensational. It really was.
- 11:33And if you're a Saquon Barkley fan, it's a must watch.
- 11:36It's a must watch documentary. And I, I respect Saquon Barkley
- 11:41even more because if you're a giant fan and I I hate the giant
- 11:45fans on what they said because they were interviewing when he
- 11:48played the Giants in the first game back at MetLife and they
- 11:53were asking fans and the fans were like, well, he went to the
- 11:56bad team. He went to the team in the same
- 11:58division, a team that we can't stand all this other like,
- 12:00listen, the Giants didn't give him you the contract.
- 12:03The Giants decided to part ways with you.
- 12:05Yes, Mara let you go. He didn't franchise you a second
- 12:09time. So he let you go to free agency.
- 12:11But I don't think John Mara thought that anybody was going
- 12:15to give him an extension the way he got it from the Eagles and
- 12:18the fact that the Eagles. Do you think, do you think the
- 12:20fans will have a different like do you think the documentary is
- 12:22that good where they did a good enough job where it's now the
- 12:26one saying that will look back and be like, oh man, like now I
- 12:30sound like an idiot because they really didn't do anything.
- 12:33You would hope so. You would hope so.
- 12:35I feel bad for Saquon because he so badly wanted to be a Giant.
- 12:39He wanted to retire as a Giant. He said it to Mara 3 times on
- 12:42the documentary, said it to Joe Shane three times on the
- 12:45documentary, said it to his agent and two agents three times
- 12:50each on the documentary. He talked to his friends, his
- 12:53wife. You see the video, there's so
- 12:55much footage how much he wanted to be a New York Giant and the
- 12:58Giants just didn't respect him enough.
- 13:01They didn't really buy into the Saquon Barkley situation and I I
- 13:05feel bad for him because when he played the New York Giants at
- 13:09MetLife Stadium, he had so much passion to just jam it right
- 13:13down their throats at MetLife. And it wasn't, he wasn't jamming
- 13:17in the fans face, he was jamming at the players faces when he was
- 13:21on the goal line and he put it in, he jammed it in there and he
- 13:24was telling them that you have nothing on me, you have nothing
- 13:26on me. You're like little boys, you're
- 13:28like little boys. That's all he kept saying in the
- 13:30documentary. And it just shows you how much
- 13:33passion this man has and why the Giants should never let go of
- 13:37this guy. It it, to me, it was it.
- 13:40It's just so it was a must watch and it's so very well put
- 13:44together. And and Saquon is one of those
- 13:47guys that he recorded everything.
- 13:50And he also reached out to Franklin when this was going on,
- 13:53when the Giants inside him, he reached out to Penn State's
- 13:56Franklin who just got fired. And he asked him, what should I
- 14:00do? What where do I go?
- 14:01And he says, Saquon, you don't sit out.
- 14:03You go and play, show them what you're made of.
- 14:05That's who you are. That's the type of player you
- 14:07are. And he says, absolutely, Saquon
- 14:09Barkley did not sit out in the offseason.
- 14:12He went to, he went to all the OTAs and everything.
- 14:15It shows you the. Kind of that doesn't.
- 14:17Happen a lot. Dudes like that don't, don't
- 14:20you? I mean, they might show up for
- 14:21OTAs but they don't participate. No.
- 14:24And it, it just shows you the type of person Saquon Barkley
- 14:27is, the type of fan he is to the New York Giants.
- 14:31Remember, he's from New York. He wanted to stay in New York,
- 14:35even though he his family lives in Pennsylvania and he's now
- 14:40closer to his parents because they live in Pennsylvania.
- 14:43His sisters live in Pennsylvania.
- 14:44He wanted to stay in New York. He was from New York, the Bronx.
- 14:48So he, he spoke very highly of the New York fans and everything
- 14:52like that. And he was upset, He really was
- 14:55upset when the Giants decided to part ways with him.
- 14:57But he he's, he's really happy on his new endeavors over there
- 15:01with the the Philadelphia Eagles, winning the Super Bowl,
- 15:04getting a chance to see what he did that that unbelievable
- 15:07season, his first year with the Eagles should have broken Eric
- 15:09Dickerson's record. And by the way, he even said it,
- 15:12if he played in that final game against the Giants, he breaks
- 15:15that Eric Dickerson record and probably wins the MVP that year,
- 15:18probably wins the MVP that year if he breaks that record.
- 15:21And he said, you know, I for the team and for the organization, I
- 15:25wasn't all about my own endeavors and my own winnings
- 15:28and MV PS I was about winning championships.
- 15:32That's what I want to do. I want to win championships and
- 15:35that's all I care about. It's not about my MVP awards.
- 15:38And even the game, some of the games that he played when the
- 15:41coach was going over there to him and saying, well, you can do
- 15:44all you can break this record. You can break that.
- 15:46He says, listen, let the other guys eat.
- 15:47Let the other guys eat. It just shows you the type of
- 15:49person Saquon Barkley is. And I, I was just enamored how
- 15:55great of a person this man is. And I'm telling you, Giant fans,
- 15:58Eagle fans, any fan that wants to check out this documentary,
- 16:03it is a home run documentary by Prime.
- 16:06Loved it. Congratulations Saquon Barkley.
- 16:09It was a sensational, sensational documentary.
- 16:13At 8:45, we will be talking to former Saints, Dolphins and
- 16:17Patriots Super Bowl champion defensive end Rob Nikovic.
- 16:22And by the way, so it's so everybody knows this, I want to
- 16:25give a shout out to the old myth for landing this wonderful
- 16:29guest. I had a chance to possibly meet
- 16:32Rob Nikovic years ago at Foxwoods.
- 16:36He was doing autographed signings.
- 16:38It was the day before he was going to be there to sign
- 16:41autographs. Me and Mikey C, we're doing our
- 16:43show and we decided to leave. We didn't want to do that and we
- 16:47wanted to get out of there before the, the onslaught of
- 16:49craziness of Patriot fans. So it's going to be fun to
- 16:52interview somebody that we could have interviewed years ago.
- 16:55So I'm, I'm very excited about that.
- 16:56So it's been a crazy, crazy weekend for me.
- 17:00I, I, I, I'm trying to give you all the energy I possibly can,
- 17:02but Giant fans, I don't know how much energy you're going to get
- 17:06from this month. In one of the most absolutely
- 17:12worst fourth quarter collapses in NFL history, the New York
- 17:16Giants lost to the Denver Broncos 33 to 32.
- 17:20The Giants had a 99.8% win probability when they were
- 17:26leading the game 26 to 8 with under 6 minutes to go in the
- 17:31fourth quarter. And it's worth worst play as a
- 17:35professional. Jackson Dart followed a Bow
- 17:38Knicks touchdown with a horrible interception with under 5
- 17:42minutes to go, setting up the Broncos in the red zone.
- 17:45Knicks had two passing touchdowns and two rushing
- 17:48touchdowns in the fourth quarter in a historic comeback win.
- 17:53Dart redeemed himself late in the game on a touchdown drive
- 17:57with the Giants down with under a minute to go.
- 18:00But the Giants backup kicker replacing Graham Gano, they
- 18:05missed his second extra point, putting the Giants up only two.
- 18:11Then the hero of the day for the Broncos was Giants defensive
- 18:16coordinator Shane Bowen who played a version of prevent
- 18:21coverage dropping 8 back and only rushing 3 in the eventual
- 18:28game-winning drive with only Brian Burns of the starting
- 18:33defensive line group on the field to start the drive.
- 18:37NFL sack leader Brian Burns and All Pro defensive tackle Dexter
- 18:42Lawrence played placed blame at Bowens feet when Burns was
- 18:48caught yelling at him on the field.
- 18:51And with Lawrence telling reporters to ask the coaches
- 18:55what went wrong in the fourth, Brian Dabel said he does not
- 19:00plan on making any changes to the coaching staff after the
- 19:05loss. The Broncos became one of just
- 19:08four teams in NFL history to score 30 or more points in the
- 19:12fourth quarter after being shut out for the rest of the game.
- 19:17Well dried fans, there's a lot to eat on this one.
- 19:22A lot. And if you're a Turkey eater and
- 19:24Thanksgiving's around the corner, you're going to have to
- 19:26eat a lot of Turkey and a lot of sleeping after this game.
- 19:31Honestly, this should have fired Brian Gable.
- 19:37This should fire Brian Gable. You're up 19 to nothing going
- 19:43into the fourth quarter, 19 to nothing going into the fourth
- 19:48quarter. There is no reason why you gave
- 19:53up a 19 nothing lead against a Bronco team that's had problems
- 19:58scoring for the last three weeks.
- 20:00They couldn't score against The Jets.
- 20:04How does Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and this front 7, who's
- 20:09one of the top 7 front sevens in football give up 30 points in
- 20:15the fourth quarter to a team that can't score?
- 20:20Jackson Dart. Everybody wants to blame Jackson
- 20:24Dart for that interception. He's a rookie.
- 20:27He's going to make mistakes. Rookies make mistakes.
- 20:32You cannot expect this kid to make every single throw and do
- 20:36it so perfectly in his first season, which, by the way, he
- 20:39didn't even start. Russell Wilson did.
- 20:43It's the defense that choked in this game.
- 20:47It was this front 7, which has been fantastic.
- 20:52And by the way, what the hell is Thibodeau doing in the fourth
- 20:55quarter? Where the hell?
- 20:57He's a deer in the headlights. The guy has no idea how to play
- 21:02defense. This guy standing there and
- 21:05standing there and sitting there on the sidelines trying to make
- 21:08excuses after that complete debacle in the red zone.
- 21:14How do you play a game like that and expect to go out there after
- 21:19the game and speak to the press and point your fingers at the
- 21:21coaching staff? How about you're the ones making
- 21:24the money. You're the one out there that's
- 21:27the Lord. You're making big money, birds.
- 21:31You're making big money. You're front 7 tempo.
- 21:35You expect to make a lot of money at the at the end of this
- 21:38season, and you go up in the fourth quarter and lay up a
- 21:44lousy goose egg when you could be 3 and four and a borderline
- 21:47playoff team right now, and everybody wants to point their
- 21:52fingers at Bowen. Is Bowen a good defensive
- 21:54coordinator? I never thought Bowen was a good
- 21:57defensive coordinator. Where did he come from?
- 21:59The Tennessee Titans? Come on, guys.
- 22:03But but before he got this job, before Bowen's got this job, did
- 22:08anybody really know who he was? Honestly, he's not Todd Bowles,
- 22:14he's not Robert Sala, he's not one of those.
- 22:17He's not guys like Aaron Glenn. These guys, this guy, just be
- 22:22honest. This guy on Tennessee, they they
- 22:24had a good defense last year. He is not one of those world
- 22:30renowned defensive coordinators. And to sit here and point your
- 22:35fingers at him, listen, the players got to play.
- 22:38You got to go out there and make plays.
- 22:40That's why you're out there. And there's no excuse for any of
- 22:43the players on the football field.
- 22:45And by the way, the offense that went dry, Yeah, the Cam scatter
- 22:51boos. Everybody loves Cammy.
- 22:54They love the way he plays. They love how he runs his head
- 22:57into people's guts. What did Cam do in the fourth
- 23:01quarter when you needed him? Nothing.
- 23:05I don't want to hear it, Fish. You want to tell me he caught
- 23:08the ball? He run the ball.
- 23:09Scataboo, to me, needed to play better in the fourth quarter.
- 23:14If you want to be considered an elite running back, you want to
- 23:18go dancing around and doing your stupid, stupid, crazy, stupid
- 23:22dances in the you know, when you're getting to the end zone,
- 23:25your back flips and I don't care if fish, you can make all the
- 23:30excuses you want. The offense wasn't the problem.
- 23:33Yeah, it was because when the going got tough, they couldn't
- 23:37run the ball when they needed to.
- 23:39The offensive line sucks. The only guy on that offensive
- 23:43line that's worth a damn, worth a poo, and I'm not going to say
- 23:47the real word I want to use is Thomas.
- 23:51That's the only one. That offensive line is crap.
- 23:56It's crap. You're not going to sell me on
- 23:58that. And then and then again, there's
- 24:03a lot to there's a lot of blame to go upon this this loss.
- 24:07Everybody wants to blame the the quarterback, the coach.
- 24:11This team is just it's very that game was very jet like.
- 24:17That is that to me is the biggest jokes.
- 24:20But you keep pressing the button over here.
- 24:22You you see what you're doing over here.
- 24:24Look at the bottom. The fact here is the New York
- 24:31Giants are in a bad position now and Dabel, who looked like was
- 24:37going to keep his job in the offseason because if he pulled
- 24:40off this win against this Broncos, this is not a good
- 24:43Broncos defense. I I mean, I'm, I'm not this is a
- 24:46good Broncos defense. This is not a great Broncos
- 24:48team. It's not We thought that this
- 24:51was going to be an all world offense this year.
- 24:53Bonex his second year with this offense.
- 24:56I I know and I said it, they don't have a secondary wide
- 24:59receiver and it's been a big problem.
- 25:01They used Mims a lot in the fourth quarter.
- 25:04Mims was being used a lot in the fourth quarter.
- 25:08I I don't know if this Bronco team is going to win any
- 25:11championship if they don't add some offensive help.
- 25:14And Bonex, he's having a sophomore year that we have said
- 25:18sophomore years are not very good for these young
- 25:21quarterbacks. And he's not even young.
- 25:23He's a, he's really a veteran because he came into the league
- 25:26later in his career. He's 24 years old when he was a
- 25:29rookie, almost 25. He's what, 26 this year, 26 just
- 25:33this year. I mean, Donald, Sam Donald's
- 25:37been in a league for how many years?
- 25:38Eight years? Yeah, this is.
- 25:40You're right for him. He's 28.
- 25:43Bo Nicks has only been in the league for two years.
- 25:46Sam Donald has been in the league for 8 and he's what, 2
- 25:49years, a year and a half older than Bo Nicks?
- 25:53I'm just my thought here is the Broncos defense is sensational.
- 25:58It's the best defense in the league.
- 26:00We knew this. We knew this going into this
- 26:02game. We knew this going into the
- 26:03season. This is a great defense, but if
- 26:06they can't put points on the board, they're not beating teams
- 26:09like the Eagles. They're not beating Kansas City
- 26:11in the playoffs, they're not beating Buffalo.
- 26:13And, and, and, and even if Baltimore sneaks in or even the
- 26:16Bengals sneak in, I don't think Pittsburgh's any good.
- 26:19And I, I think Pittsburgh's going to come down to their game
- 26:22because as much as Aaron Rodgers looks half decent this year,
- 26:26this is not what we expected. I, I at least what I expected
- 26:30this Pittsburgh team to be. I thought this was going to be
- 26:33an all world defense and a decent, decent offense.
- 26:36This has been a better offense and not a very good defense this
- 26:39year in Pittsburgh. So I'm just speaking my, my
- 26:44thoughts here. The Giants had a chance on
- 26:48Sunday to go 3 and 4 being on a winning streak.
- 26:52They beat the Eagles, they beat the Broncos back-to-back games
- 26:56after losing to the Saints and had a chance to make a run for
- 27:02the playoffs. They're not making the playoffs
- 27:05now. They don't stand a chance.
- 27:07Not a chance because now they're 2:00 and 5:00 instead of three
- 27:12and four. And even if the Commanders look
- 27:15bad, which I've said, Jaden Daniels is again hurt and the
- 27:18Commander's a sophomore year again, Caleb Williams looks
- 27:21better in his sophomore year instead of his rookie year.
- 27:23But that's just why I told you Caleb Williams is special
- 27:26because he still had a good freshman year and now his
- 27:28sophomore year is even better because he actually has a
- 27:30competent coach. Dabel is on the hot seat, deeply
- 27:38on the hot seat now. And honestly, if, if they lose
- 27:41another game like this or if they have a lead going to the
- 27:44fourth quarter and lose the lead in the fourth quarter, dabble's
- 27:47going to get fired. There's no way John Mara is
- 27:50going to keep this guy as a head coach after this debacle of a
- 27:54loss. This is this is as bad as, and I
- 27:58know this isn't the Super Bowl. This is as bad as the Atlanta
- 28:00Falcons and the Newark Patriots. It's as bad.
- 28:05It's the same game. It really is.
- 28:08Think about it. The Giants were up.
- 28:10What? What was the score 26 to?
- 28:12What was it 26 to 8? What was the Patriots?
- 28:16Well, I mean, what was Atlanta's lead in the fourth quarter?
- 28:1828 to 9. 28 to 9, it's practically the same game.
- 28:22It happened practically the same way it and, and I'm going to
- 28:27tell you this, the Patriots had Tom Brady, The Broncos have Bo
- 28:33Nicks. Bo Nicks, who barely threw 300
- 28:38yards in a game all season, and he was a world beater in the
- 28:43fourth quarter to a New York Giants defense that has the best
- 28:47pass rusher in the league right now.
- 28:49Dexter Lawrence, who's probably one of the top three interior
- 28:53players in all the football tempered all who expects to get
- 28:56paid one of the best young pass rushers in the league.
- 28:59How do you give up 30 points to this Broncos team?
- 29:04It's embarrassing. They have one guy, one good
- 29:08offensive player on this whole offense.
- 29:11And by the way, how could you not stop this running game, the
- 29:16Broncos running game? Yeah, they have JK Dobbins.
- 29:19That's great. And he's been very good.
- 29:21JK Dobbins, he plays this game that, you know, puts himself out
- 29:25there where he's probably going to go down.
- 29:27Harvey's the other guy. They're young rookie.
- 29:30This, this running game in the fourth quarter, they dominated a
- 29:34line of scrimmage dominated. It was embarrassing.
- 29:39Giant fans. I don't want to hear any
- 29:41excuses. There's no excuse to this.
- 29:43And I got a lot to say it to the New York Jets.
- 29:45Don't you worry. I got a lot to say for my Jet
- 29:48fans, you idiot Jet fans, and I don't want to hear from all the
- 29:52other podcasts out there saying and want to blame Aaron Glenn
- 29:56and say Aaron Glenn needs to go. And by the way, I listen to the
- 29:58Herd take and I got something to say to the Herd too.
- 30:03This is embarrassing and it's not about the coaching, it's the
- 30:07players. You got to go out there and make
- 30:10plays. You're making tons of money.
- 30:12You got to go out there. It's not the play calling.
- 30:15Stop with the 8 prevent. The Jets have played that year
- 30:17for year in and year out and they win games.
- 30:20I'm not saying The Jets are any better than the Giants because
- 30:23they're hot, but The Jets put up a little bit more of a challenge
- 30:28in the fourth quarter against the Broncos than the New York
- 30:31freaking Giants, who had something to play for.
- 30:34The Jets are, oh, and freaking 7.
- 30:36They're the worst team in the NFL to the Giants that had a
- 30:39chance to be second place, tied for second place in the in the
- 30:45AFC East. That's it, I'm done.
- 30:49Yeah, you explained it very well.
- 30:52It was embarrassing on many fronts.
- 30:53When it looks, you look at the defense first mainly, mainly the
- 30:56secondary because they were, it looked like they were having
- 30:58their one of their better games of the year all of a sudden.
- 31:00And then they forgot how to cover.
- 31:01They forgot how to actually jam wide receivers.
- 31:03Like you were saying, they had a good game plan on Sutton.
- 31:06And it had nothing to do with the secondary.
- 31:07It really had nothing to do with the secondary, had everything to
- 31:10do with the front 7. These guys are as good as any
- 31:14dude. The Giants in the last three
- 31:16weeks, their front 7 has it's it's in the top three at PFF.
- 31:21This is one of the best front sevens in football, and you lay
- 31:26up a lousy goose egg against the Denver Broncos offense.
- 31:31Yeah, I was going to get to that too with the run defense like
- 31:33you were talking about. Like they kind of surprised you
- 31:34by staying aggressive with the run game or the short passing
- 31:37game, which a lot of people were criticizing Sean Payton for
- 31:39throughout the year. Like way too many screen passes,
- 31:41especially on 1st down. He was getting predictable.
- 31:44And the Giants, luckily, he was adjusting to that in the
- 31:46beginning. Then all of a sudden they
- 31:48stopped doing that when Sean Payton didn't stop going with
- 31:50his ways. You mention RJ Harvey having
- 31:51probably his best game of the year all around, and a lot of
- 31:54these secondary guys finally stepping up for the Broncos that
- 31:57weren't stepping up all season because they've been a pretty
- 31:59mediocre offense so far this year.
- 32:01Have they? They had turnover issues and
- 32:02like sack issues. No, but they wasn't Lee.
- 32:05You know what I you know what I love about Giant fans?
- 32:08You know what I love? They they find a way to point
- 32:10their fingers at guys they don't like, like fish.
- 32:14Like our friend over here, poops.
- 32:17They got somebody to point to. They want to blame it on
- 32:19somebody. They're going to blame the
- 32:21corners. They're going to blame Banks.
- 32:22They're going to blame the fish. Could come in, he could say
- 32:25whatever he wants and yap his big fat mouth because he's a
- 32:28Giant fan. Because that's what Giant fans
- 32:30do. They yap my mouth isn't that
- 32:33fat? Come on.
- 32:39Front service your power. Soon as the corner went out, we
- 32:43couldn't stop a single pass stop.
- 32:45Cordell flots our best. That's the problem.
- 32:48Pressure on Bo Nicks in the fourth quarter, you had all the
- 32:52capability to do that. So tell so tell me why it's not
- 32:57the coach's fault when he's the one dialing up the blitzes or
- 32:59not and he decides to play off coverage because he's doing like
- 33:03what you said they did in the Super Bowl and play this stupid
- 33:06type of prevent, keep everything kind of really in front of us.
- 33:10But when you play it like that, you're just giving up first down
- 33:13after first down. And then you have Dante Banks in
- 33:17for Paulson Adibo, and it's not about the pass coverage.
- 33:20He gave up those touchdown runs 'cause he dives inside and gives
- 33:23up contain. He is a garbage football player
- 33:26at this point in his career and he shouldn't be on the field
- 33:28this part. And they they don't have any
- 33:30depth in the secondary and they're screwed.
- 33:32How long has Banks been in the leagues?
- 33:34Beating three years, three years and he took.
- 33:37Three painful years. He was a first round talent.
- 33:40Yeah, so was Evan. Evan Neil.
- 33:43And they don't even let him see the light of day anymore and
- 33:45they just keep him. You know him and Mackay Beck
- 33:48didn't have hamburger eating contests.
- 33:49So you're going to sit here to me, you're going to sit here
- 33:51with me right now and you're going to blame the secondary and
- 33:54not the front seven. You have nothing to but.
- 33:57Before the front seven, I mean, banks had banks, not banks.
- 34:02Burns had another sack in the game.
- 34:03Burns was effective. Not in the fourth quarter.
- 34:05He's leading the NFL in the sack.
- 34:07Here's If you're not winning, it doesn't matter if you're leading
- 34:10the league. It's a big deal.
- 34:14It's a big deal to league the league in something, especially
- 34:16sack. You're going to sit here and
- 34:18tell me, oh, oh, oh, that's what it is.
- 34:20You talk about how great Trey Hendrickson was on a losing
- 34:23team. Oh well, that's going to be the
- 34:25same thing. So we're going to sit here today
- 34:27and we're going to say. He's on pays for more.
- 34:30We're going to sit here today, we're going to talk about Brian
- 34:32Burns and how he leads the league in sacks, and it's not.
- 34:35Oh my God. You're the.
- 34:37Oh my God, right the. Leader of this defense and
- 34:40you're not putting enough pressure on the quarterback.
- 34:43Bo Nix is running outside of the pocket and scoring.
- 34:47Are you kidding me? It's an embarrassment.
- 34:50And I want to hear from Dexter Lawrence.
- 34:52I don't want to hear Dexter Lawrence at the end of the game
- 34:54pointing his finger at the coach.
- 34:56Why don't you? You know why he pointed his
- 34:58finger at him? Because he didn't put him on the
- 34:59field. Look at your He didn't put
- 35:01Dexter Lawrence on the field to start the last drive.
- 35:07That's like when Popovich took Duncan out for that rebound in
- 35:10the Game 6 of that finals against the Heat.
- 35:13Oh yeah, let's just not have our best guy in there.
- 35:15Oh yeah, he won't get a pass rush.
- 35:17Stexter, Lawrence put two guys on a mill.
- 35:19Push the pile. Are you kidding me?
- 35:22Every lineman can't, can't wait for it in your ears back.
- 35:24On the last the last couple of plays of the game, that's the
- 35:28reason why the Giants lost. Why would you not start your
- 35:31best player at the top three player on the team if not best
- 35:35player? Don't you love?
- 35:37At the end of the game, who does that?
- 35:39What kind of good coach does that?
- 35:40I absolutely no good coach does that.
- 35:42The Giants don't have good coaches right now and.
- 35:44For Why do you not think that's coaching?
- 35:46If your players aren't on the field, they can't make the
- 35:48plays. Oh, OK, All right, so because
- 35:51the player. If they don't if Jabba.
- 35:53Wasn't put into the game. He can't help win the game.
- 35:56The. Same idea.
- 35:57Listen, fish, you're going to find every way to make excuses
- 36:01for this debacle. It doesn't matter if.
- 36:03You're making excuses. It's an excuse, just placing
- 36:06blame. You know what the blame is?
- 36:08The players when they were on the field in the fourth quarter,
- 36:10when they were up 19 or nothing, it should not have even been
- 36:13close. You stop and you win.
- 36:15That's what you do. And Dexter Lawrence burns this
- 36:19front 7, which everybody and including yours truly thought
- 36:23was a world beater going into the fourth quarter.
- 36:26And this is, this could be a top three front 7 all of a sudden
- 36:30fell flat on their asses. And it has nothing to do with
- 36:33coaching. It has everything to do with the
- 36:36players showing up, play in and play out.
- 36:40I could give a crap how many sacks Mr. Burns has.
- 36:44I could care less. He can have 25,000 sacks in the
- 36:49season. If they're not winning, it
- 36:52doesn't matter. You play to win the game.
- 36:56Herm Edwards said it best. Am I right Speedy?
- 36:58Well, yeah. And also no matter what level of
- 37:01coaches you're going to have when you're facing a coach
- 37:02that's as experienced as Sean Payton and and even a defensive
- 37:05coach has been as as successful as Vance Joseph has been in two
- 37:09different stints with in two different stints, one with
- 37:11Miami, not great as a head coach with the Broncos, But now a
- 37:13second stint with the Broncos as a defensive coordinator has been
- 37:15great. And you have to be able to be
- 37:17more creative than they've been. And I think that's where I think
- 37:20the the talent does lie with the traditional pass rushers.
- 37:24And you took made the comparison with the Falcons like the
- 37:26Giants, Giants that Giants defense probably has more talent
- 37:29on that defense collectively than the Super Bowl team with
- 37:31the Falcons. Maybe the Falcons are better
- 37:32secondary, but the Giants have this pass rush landed have a
- 37:35level of pass rush like that and they get predictable with their
- 37:39pass rushes. Same types of the moves.
- 37:41Thibodeau, he's developed nicely.
- 37:42His move set better. Burns obviously been great, but
- 37:45you look at they're playing the same way.
- 37:48Good coaches are going to counter that like Sean Payton is
- 37:50going to counter that finally and make it work.
- 37:52I agree with you with the offensive coaching.
- 37:54Like I would blame that more on the players because I think the
- 37:57players Scatabo is making some going into holes that I don't
- 38:00think we're necessary. Jackson Dart, I solely blame him
- 38:02for that interception because he could have ran.
- 38:05He could have thrown it away, rookie.
- 38:07Right. He was trying to make a play, he
- 38:09saw the field differently and he made a mistake.
- 38:11No, I'm not going to blame a rookie for the loss.
- 38:14No, I'm going to blame the guys that are making money.
- 38:17I'm going to blame it on Mr. Burns sitting there and that's
- 38:20the Lawrence at the end of the game.
- 38:21Blaming the coaching staff. Give me a break.
- 38:23Take responsibility for the loss.
- 38:26Stop blaming other people. You want to blame the coaching
- 38:29staff? Blame yourself.
- 38:31Look yourself in the mirror. You're a bunch of bitches.
- 38:34That's what you are. That's what the Giants are.
- 38:36Just as well as The Jets and the Jet players.
- 38:39A bunch of babies. A bunch of babies and the giant
- 38:43fans. I don't want to hear your crap
- 38:45on social media. Get rid of Dabel.
- 38:47You know what? Get rid of yourselves.
- 38:49Give yourself a wedgie. You are a bunch of babies.
- 38:53Cry babies because you had a chance to win.
- 38:56You have a chance to make the playoffs, and you showed up in
- 38:59the fourth quarter playing dipsy doodle with a team that's not
- 39:02even any good offensively. It's embarrassing.
- 39:06Absolutely. So fire Bowen these, the
- 39:09defensive coordinator, fucking the 33 points in the fourth
- 39:13quarter. I would suspend the players
- 39:16like. Suspend Bowen.
- 39:17I would suspend Brian Burns and Dexter.
- 39:20What are you talking about? For what?
- 39:22Opening your fucking fat mouths at the end of the game.
- 39:26He he look, Burns said it on the field and the camera caught it.
- 39:29Lawrence tried not to say anything, but it was so bad.
- 39:33It was so bad, so irresponsibly bad.
- 39:37By Bowen, I mean, you saw, I mean, look, Dabel, it takes
- 39:41credit because he's the head coach and he has to have better
- 39:44control over those end of the game situations.
- 39:46He is not blameless and I don't think he survives this either,
- 39:50but Bowen should not have been allowed to come home on the
- 39:52plane. I love.
- 39:54That was terrible. I love the way Dabel at the end
- 39:56of the game, you saw how upset he was.
- 39:58He took his headset off, he slammed it on the ground.
- 40:00He was upset. You saw it in his face.
- 40:03You could tell that he's taking this seriously.
- 40:05It's not like he's sitting there.
- 40:07And because Aaron Glenn, as much as Jet fans think that Aaron
- 40:11Glenn's gonna get fired at the end of the year and there's no
- 40:12way he gets fight, this would be an have to be an absolute
- 40:16debacle. And The Jets have to be
- 40:18completely ram jammed in the last three or four games of the
- 40:22season for Aaron Glenn to lose his job after one season.
- 40:25It would be an absolute, you know, absolute crazy move for
- 40:30the New York Jets to go in. And I, I, you know what?
- 40:33I want to say something before we get into The Jets.
- 40:36I want to say something to the Herd, OK, I have to say this.
- 40:39I listened to the Herd the other day.
- 40:42Everybody knows who I'm talking about.
- 40:44I I watch his show. He's probably 1 of very few
- 40:47people. I watch because I want to laugh
- 40:49at some of his stupid takes. OK, stupid dump takes.
- 40:54When he came out and he said he has four ways and four things
- 40:57that Jets needed to do. And the final thing he said was
- 41:01at the end of the season, keep Aaron Glenn to the end of
- 41:04season, fire him and hire Mike McCarthy.
- 41:08I laughed at that take so much that I'm going to write to the
- 41:14Herd and the show to see if he will respond to my incompetent,
- 41:19crazy answers to why the New York Jets would never do
- 41:24something like that and we never throw away an X Jet that was a
- 41:29pro ball player and one of the faces of this franchise in the
- 41:3390s. OK, It is despicable how the
- 41:37Herd could get away with some of the stuff that he says and that
- 41:40the organization has The Jets and Woody Johnson doesn't speak
- 41:43up for his own coach. I just.
- 41:46And The Jets fans, what a disgrace.
- 41:51What a disgrace. Yes, Jake Asman, yes, I'm going
- 41:54to say it and you're going to listen.
- 41:58Jake Asman, who went out there kissing Aaron Glad's ring,
- 42:03whatever rings they were, because he never won a Super
- 42:05Bowl, kissing his ass when The Jets brought him in all this guy
- 42:09is going to be an absolute God here in New York.
- 42:12He's going to win champion. He might win championships.
- 42:14He might bring, he might bring this team back to the forefront
- 42:18of winning and then all of a sudden in six games, throwing
- 42:22them to the walls, saying that they should fire him.
- 42:24Practically embarrassing an an embarrassment.
- 42:29Everybody. I have to say something.
- 42:31And Jake, you don't have to listen to the show.
- 42:32I could give a shit if you listen to the show.
- 42:34And I am going to curse on this show tonight because I'm
- 42:36disgusted. I'm disgusted with New York
- 42:39sports. I'm disgusted watching this
- 42:42garbage. I'm tired of it.
- 42:45I'm tired of it. Met fans making excuses, Yankee
- 42:48fans making excuses. Now we're going to hear Rangers
- 42:50and Islander fans. What's next, the Brooklyn Nets?
- 42:54Give me a break. I don't want to hear the
- 42:56Brooklyn Nets fans. And I'm going to tell you this
- 42:59right now, the Knicks better come out like world beaters
- 43:02because they're expected to win the East or I'm going to be
- 43:05taking shots at them. The whole the whole season.
- 43:09It's an embarrassment. It's an absolute embarrassment.
- 43:13New York sports is garbage. Garbage.
- 43:18That's what you do. This is what this is what we're
- 43:21selling Buffalo Bills, even how they look good as a Buffalo fans
- 43:27would say. They're the only New York team.
- 43:30I, I just, I'm tired of this. I'm tired of watching, losing,
- 43:34losing, losing organization, quarterback, defenses, coaches.
- 43:40I'm tired of it. I'm tired of this garbage.
- 43:45I'm watching this. I spend my Sundays watching New
- 43:49York football. John, before you go, I just want
- 43:54to mention Carl's commentary. He said Burns was gashed in the
- 43:57fourth quarter and the front 7 was flat in the fourth quarter
- 43:59and the kicker was miserable. Yes, the front 7 did struggle.
- 44:01And Burns, if he made his plays before that, yeah, maybe he
- 44:03wouldn't be so gassed. And stop with the kicker.
- 44:06Stop with the goddamn kicker. Oh, he missed the view.
- 44:09He missed the kicker, and he made the cuckoo good overtime.
- 44:12And you would have lost it overtime.
- 44:16No, I, I mean, you guys kind of hit everything too.
- 44:18But I think, and the one thing too is, is, you know, you guys
- 44:22kind of always coaches players. I think it's an accumulation of
- 44:26everything. Kind of like everybody said
- 44:27there, there's going to be blame put on somebody obviously,
- 44:30right. But I think everybody in their
- 44:34own right has a, a role in the debacle.
- 44:38I mean, I, it's crazy to think there's been over 1600 games to
- 44:43that point. The Giants had to lead that one
- 44:46and they had a 99.8% chance to win in over 16.
- 44:50That's just that that's not just one aspect of the team, right,
- 44:55That's that's from the code that's from top to bottom.
- 44:57So there there is literally, you know, not one finger to point.
- 45:01I don't I think it's just all of it as a whole that just
- 45:06basically peed down their leg. I mean, there's there's no way
- 45:09to only person that was excited in this whole realm was my son
- 45:13because he's a Broncos fan. So sorry, guys, but it was it,
- 45:17it was interesting to to see because you know, as as we were
- 45:21on a meeting or whatever and it's just you could kind of see
- 45:25the wheels turning of like all giants fans and even Errol, you
- 45:28said you're like, they're going to win the game.
- 45:30And fish is like, don't blow this, don't blow this.
- 45:32And you're like, oh, wow, you kind of look and you're like,
- 45:36maybe they they might blow it. And then you kind of see what
- 45:41happens. And, you know, listening to
- 45:43everybody this morning and it's like, well, yeah, they, you
- 45:46know, they dropped eight. They they've done it before,
- 45:48blah, blah, blah. What are you going to do in that
- 45:50situation? I mean, obviously I've never
- 45:52been in this situation, so I don't know.
- 45:54But it's, I think it's an accumulation of just for a
- 45:58breakdown of that magnitude. It's hard for me to look at it,
- 46:02to be able just to point it at one thing where I think it's
- 46:06just, it's as a whole, everybody needs to look in the mirror and
- 46:11be like. What the hell?
- 46:11Happened and how can we fix it and make sure that it doesn't
- 46:14happen again it? Really doesn't matter Java,
- 46:17because it's never going to have to make it doesn't mean
- 46:19anything. It's never going to happen again
- 46:21because the Giants just cost themselves a playoff, a playoff
- 46:26run because now they're they went from 3:00 and 4:00 to 2:00
- 46:29and 5:00. What are the?
- 46:31Chances. That's a.
- 46:32That's a big difference. It's a huge difference.
- 46:34It's a huge difference. Because they have been tied for
- 46:37second, right? They would have been tied for a
- 46:39second or right there. What's.
- 46:41Well, who's in second place? They.
- 46:42Yeah. They'd be right behind
- 46:43Washington by a tiebreaker. They technically would be last
- 46:45because Dallas won, but they'd be right there in that three win
- 46:48cluster. They, they had a very good
- 46:51chance to be that second, that second team and a wild card
- 46:54team, maybe the final wild card team in the NFC because it's
- 46:58wide open. Besides the teams that we've
- 47:00mentioned the, the, the conference is wide open in the
- 47:03NFC. So, and there's a lot of
- 47:05football to be played. So it's not like it's over and
- 47:09we will get into the Kansas City.
- 47:11For everybody that thinks that Kansas City is just going to run
- 47:13away the AFC now that they have Rice back and they look like
- 47:15world beaters against the Raiders.
- 47:17That's another thing garbage that I've heard over the last
- 47:21couple, the last 24 hours. So anyways, Game 7 of the ALCS
- 47:25between the Mariners and the Blue Jays is kicking off at the
- 47:29Rodgers Center in Toronto as we speak.
- 47:32After the Mariners and the Blue Jays split games five and six,
- 47:36the Mariners won game five at home and the Blue Jays won Game
- 47:396 back in Toronto. In their game five win, the
- 47:43Mariners scored five runs in the eighth inning with Cal Raleigh
- 47:48hitting a solo home run to tie the game and Suarez hitting a
- 47:53Grand Slam to give them the lead for good.
- 47:57In Game 6 back in Toronto, the Blue Jays scored five runs off
- 48:01All Star pitcher Logan Gilbert, including home runs from Addison
- 48:06Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Junior, who has 6 this post
- 48:11season in just 10 games, becoming the 14th player in MLB
- 48:15history to do so. George Kirby goes for the
- 48:19Mariners with the Blue Jays sending veteran Shane Bieber to
- 48:23the mound in Game 7 tonight with a trip to the World Series on
- 48:28the line. The Dodgers swept the Brewers in
- 48:31the NLCS to advance to their second straight World Series and
- 48:36their fifth in the last nine years.
- 48:39The NLCS and VP Shay Ohtani had a historic performance with
- 48:44three home runs and six scoreless pitching innings and
- 48:4810 strikeouts. Dodgers pitching held the
- 48:51Brewers to only 14 hits in the entire series.
- 48:56With a team batting average of only .118, the lowest batting
- 49:03average in MLB history for any series lasting longer than three
- 49:06games, this is the first time a team that had the best record in
- 49:12baseball has been swept in seven game in A7 game series since
- 49:172004. And the Cardinals, who were
- 49:20swept by the Red Sox in the World Series that broke the
- 49:25Curse of the Bambino for 21 years ago.
- 49:31Well, I, I, I'll get it to the Dodgers in Shay Otani because I
- 49:34know Jabba has like a smirk on his face.
- 49:36That doesn't mean anything to me, but I I do want to get into
- 49:41the this series, which I did not think was going to go 7.
- 49:46I did not. The Mariners going up to
- 49:48nothing. I thought the series was over.
- 49:51I did not think the Blue Jays had enough inside them as far as
- 49:56personality wise. I know Vladimir Guerrero came
- 49:59out after game number 2 after he spoke to the media and he said,
- 50:02listen, we're not done. We're going to go out there and
- 50:05play every inning, every pitch, every every game like it's our
- 50:11last. And boy, oh boy, did the Blue
- 50:14Jays do that. And the Blue Jays have shown why
- 50:18they are in the ALCS. They're showing you why they won
- 50:23the American League East. They're showing you why that
- 50:26this team even without Bichette can hit and not only hit
- 50:33dominate in the middle of that line up.
- 50:36It it's it's incredible what Vladimir Guerrero junior is
- 50:40doing now when we look at this contract that he got in the
- 50:44during the season at the beginning of the season and was
- 50:47guaranteed 325 million, which is the most guaranteed money any
- 50:51players ever gotten in baseball history.
- 50:54And I sat there and I said, what is, what are the Blue Jays nuts?
- 50:57I, I mean, that's just as bad as the deferred money the Dodgers
- 51:00were giving everybody. I I mean honestly, 300.
- 51:05Errol, let me ask you a question.
- 51:07Would you rather, would you OK, so say you're in this situation,
- 51:10would you rather take the the 325 upfront or the deferred on
- 51:14the back end? 325 upfront, absolutely.
- 51:18What I don't I don't disagree with.
- 51:20That I mean, I mean, first of all, they're in Canada.
- 51:23The taxes are completely different than they are here.
- 51:26And what is what is he losing there?
- 51:29Probably 100 million. So he's getting maybe a little
- 51:32bit less than that, let's say 80 million.
- 51:34Well, let's just say that I'm just I'm shooting and maybe
- 51:38we'll we'll have fish do the the economic, you know, you know,
- 51:42mathematically equation. How about we'll have Jared Jared
- 51:44do that. I would love to know how much
- 51:48he's given up on that con. You know that guaranteed money
- 51:51upfront but. It's it's weird how they do the
- 51:53taxes too because it works out because technically their
- 51:58offices are in Dunedin. So it's Florida.
- 52:01Oh. Really.
- 52:02So. Yeah, interesting.
- 52:03So that's, so that's sometimes how it gets tricky like but you
- 52:07get paid in Canada. But since that big upfront, from
- 52:12what I've understood from guys that I've played with before,
- 52:15it's technically that where their facility is.
- 52:20So it would technically be Florida where there's no state
- 52:22tax. So that would be I would have
- 52:23to, I would have to look at, but I remember that because when I
- 52:26was hurt, I was getting paid like I was in Tampa.
- 52:31So my checks were bigger because it wasn't like you were getting
- 52:34paid where you were playing at. So, but I was always like under
- 52:38the impression in two and I heard it from a lot of guys, the
- 52:40faster you get it, the faster you can invest it.
- 52:42I get some deferred money on the back end, maybe not a not 600
- 52:46million, but like now you have that money upfront, you can
- 52:50invest it and do a lot of other things.
- 52:51Where would I take some deferred?
- 52:53Yeah, but I don't, I don't know if I'd take 600 million
- 52:58deferred. I'd rather take the 325 up
- 53:00front. I would definitely take the 325
- 53:02up front, even if I lost $100 million, I'm $225 million
- 53:07richer. So what am I complaining about?
- 53:09And I'm still getting more money on the back end of it.
- 53:12So I'm not complaining at all. And, and Vladimir Guerrero looks
- 53:15like he's worth every single penny that he is getting from
- 53:20the Blue Jays because he's he's been remarkable in this series.
- 53:24He was great in the Yankees series.
- 53:26He he when he needed a home run or they needed a big hit, the
- 53:29Yankees had a pitch around him. And that's what you want your
- 53:31best player to do. We know what his father was.
- 53:34His father was so special and and you know that Jabba, you
- 53:39played against him, you pitched. Against him, he hit a home run
- 53:41off me on a ball that hit the ground when he was in Baltimore.
- 53:45So towards the end of his career.
- 53:47So, you know, literally I threw a curveball that bounced and he
- 53:50hit a Homer to left. The best pitch.
- 53:53Honestly, they told me when I first came up because I was a
- 53:56big fan of outfielders that could throw.
- 53:58So Vlad was obviously a guy played right field that could
- 54:00throw when he was with the Angels.
- 54:03And I was like, you know what I'd like this is a dude like I
- 54:06watched growing up. I want to throw fast.
- 54:08When he said literally before, if you face Vladdy, the best
- 54:11pitch is a fastball down the middle and I'm like, what are
- 54:14you talking about? They're like, he's one of the
- 54:15greatest bad ball hitters. And at that point you're naive
- 54:18by because you don't really understand it.
- 54:20You're just a fan of watching the game, right?
- 54:23Well, I was like, I'm going to let one eat and I threw a
- 54:26fastball at one O 1 and he fouled it straight back and I
- 54:29thought it was the coolest thing ever.
- 54:31Then I threw 2 sliders that weren't even near the zone and
- 54:34he missed them by 15 feet. So then it started to click.
- 54:37So I was like, boom, I'm going to just, you know, I'm going to
- 54:38bounce a curveball next time I face it.
- 54:40Boom bounced A curveball. He golfed it out to left and I'm
- 54:44like, all right, this dude is. And it is a true story.
- 54:49Vladdy Junior said it too. His his grandma, Vladdy's mom.
- 54:54And she would literally like when we play whatever team
- 54:57Vladdy was on, he would make food not only for Gladdy and his
- 55:01teammates, she would make him for the visiting clubhouse too.
- 55:04And that was like the first time I got real, like real, real
- 55:07Dominican food. Holy cow.
- 55:09It's a game changer. He was so nice.
- 55:13And she literally would bring it over every time, every day.
- 55:16It was awesome. And that's that's what's
- 55:18incredible about the father and son.
- 55:20Usually when your son is being compared to the father, they're
- 55:25they never amount to anything that that's just the fact you
- 55:28look at all the sports. Brownie James we go back to
- 55:30Jordan brothers, the the Jordan sons.
- 55:32Any one of these guys, Dwyane Wade son, Scottie Pippen son, I,
- 55:36I mean, I, I'm just, you know, off the head guys that I'm
- 55:39trying to bring up Gordie Howe's kids that play with their
- 55:42father. All these ex players, great
- 55:45superstar players, their sons come into the league and they
- 55:48try to compete or they have the same name as their father.
- 55:50Saquon Junior might play in the NFL.
- 55:52He already said that he doesn't want his son running, being a
- 55:54running back. If watch the documentary, it's
- 55:56pretty cool what he said. I don't want my son being a
- 55:58running back. But nevertheless, what I'm
- 56:00trying to say is you always look at these guys and trying to
- 56:04compare him with father and son, and usually besides Ken Griffey
- 56:07junior, by the way, Ken Griffey junior was better than Ken
- 56:09Griffey senior, but Ken Griffey senior was pretty good.
- 56:13You. You, Barry and Bobby Bonds.
- 56:15Barry and Bob, Barry, Barry and Bobby Bonds.
- 56:18Yes, I, I'm, I'm trying to, I'm trying to think of father and
- 56:22sons that actually worked. This could go down as the
- 56:26greatest, you know, father and son combination we've ever seen
- 56:31because Vladimir Guerrero senior is a special player, one of the
- 56:36best, greatest arms we've ever seen and one of the greatest
- 56:38power hitters we've ever seen. Like you said, job.
- 56:41He hit the ball no matter where you were throwing the ball.
- 56:43And now you're watching Vladimir Guerrero junior.
- 56:46If he could somehow get his team in the World Series and beat the
- 56:50bad boy Dodgers. I mean, this could be one of the
- 56:53greatest comebacks, one of the greatest stories in baseball in
- 56:58the last 20 years. It's incredible what the Blue
- 57:02Jays are doing. If they somehow pull off this
- 57:04win against Seattle and then they go in and they they
- 57:07challenge the Dodgers and give the Dodgers all they can eat.
- 57:09Maybe we see Bob Bechette in that series.
- 57:12We, we might see that and that might change everything in that
- 57:15line up, add a little bit more depth in that lineup And
- 57:17defensively, because Bechette is a, he's a really good defensive
- 57:20player. Maybe this, maybe that's a
- 57:22different series against the Dodgers as far as the Dodgers
- 57:26are concerned. Sherry Watani had a great
- 57:31series. He had a great series.
- 57:34And that last game, hitting three home runs, 10 strikeouts,
- 57:386 scoreless innings, and he threw the ball and one of his
- 57:41pitches hit over 100. It's incredible.
- 57:45It is incredible. He is now what people are
- 57:48putting and saying he's the greatest baseball player of all
- 57:50time. That's ridiculous.
- 57:52That's ridiculous. It's too early, It's too early.
- 57:55It's it's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous to
- 57:59even say that. And if you look at Shah Otani's
- 58:03numbers right now in the playoffs, he's batting 220, OK,
- 58:07He's not hitting. And I, I, I, I know everybody
- 58:10wants to give him all the, the praise.
- 58:12You want to give him the NLC, the NLCS MVP, that's fine.
- 58:15He looked great in his final game.
- 58:17He pitched well. He hit the ball.
- 58:18He hit three home runs great. Because congratulations,
- 58:22sensational. My my opinion here is, and I'm
- 58:26not trying to compare him to Aaron Judge.
- 58:29Aaron Judge hit 500 all the way through the playoffs.
- 58:35Before the Yankees got eliminated, he was hitting 505
- 58:39hundred. OK, this guy is batting 220.
- 58:44All right, Yes, he's a pitcher. I understand that.
- 58:47I understand that you want to put that in and obviously Job is
- 58:50a pitcher and, and Job is going to tell you, you don't
- 58:52understand how much pressure you have and this and this and that
- 58:54and it's fine. I'm not taking that away from
- 58:56me. He's a great pitcher.
- 58:57Good for him. But to come out there and, and
- 59:01people on social media after this wonderful performance and
- 59:04giving him the NLCSMVP to say that he is the greatest baseball
- 59:10player of all time. Guys, he's not better than Babe
- 59:14Ruth. He's not better than Mickey
- 59:16Mantle, He's not better than Ted Williams, He's not better than
- 59:20Joe DiMaggio. He's not better than these
- 59:23greats that we have. That's just some of them.
- 59:26That's just some of them. That's not all of them, That's
- 59:28some of them. He is in moving towards that
- 59:31trajectory where you can compare him to those guys, but to say
- 59:36that he's the greatest baseball player of all time, it's
- 59:41ridiculous. Let me ask you guys a question.
- 59:45Shayo Ohtani, What was he batting in the World Series last
- 59:48year? Like 100.
- 59:52OK, when before this series, what was Shayo Ohtani batting
- 59:57going into this series? In the hundreds?
- 1:00:01He was batting one 88189. He's batting.
- 1:00:06At the end of this series, he was batting a little bit over 2
- 1:00:08hundreds. And you're going to go out there
- 1:00:11and say he's the greatest baseball player of all time
- 1:00:14because it was one of the greatest performances we've seen
- 1:00:18in a playoff game. Come on, guys, this is the young
- 1:00:22Brewers. This isn't the Yankees.
- 1:00:25This isn't that. I mean, come on, guys, we're
- 1:00:27going to sit here and we're going to, we're going to just
- 1:00:30praise Shayo Dunn. He's sensational.
- 1:00:32He's a great player. I'm not going to take it away
- 1:00:34from him. He's special.
- 1:00:36He really is. He's a special player.
- 1:00:39I'm just tired of hearing he's the greatest baseball player of
- 1:00:42all time. It's not even close.
- 1:00:44I, I, you could put him with all the greats.
- 1:00:45No, you cannot. Go look at Babe Ruth, what he
- 1:00:49was hitting in the playoffs in his career, Mickey Mantle.
- 1:00:52Go look at Yogi Berra, Joe D go look at their batting averages
- 1:00:57in the playoffs and everybody's going to say, well, they don't
- 1:00:59throw 100. It's a different game.
- 1:01:02Baseball was different. Pitchers played nine innings.
- 1:01:06They don't get out in 5-6 innings like Shay Ohtani
- 1:01:09pitched. These guys pitched I they were
- 1:01:12starting pitchers that were going 10 or 11 innings, 342 in
- 1:01:19the playoffs, 15 home runs and 972 career post season OPS.
- 1:01:24It it's ridiculous and you're going to put Shay Ohtani there.
- 1:01:29Let's go look at Mickey Mantle's playoff record, you know, put
- 1:01:32playoff numbers in his career. Here it is 257 average, eighteen
- 1:01:38home runs, 40 RB is and 65 played games exclusively in the
- 1:01:43World Series. So that's his World Series of
- 1:01:46post season record. On numbers, it doesn't matter.
- 1:01:48But what I'm trying to say is these guys are some of the
- 1:01:52greatest baseball players of all time, and we're already
- 1:01:57comparing Cheryl Otani, who's batting 220 right now in the
- 1:02:01playoffs. Come on, guys, stop.
- 1:02:04It's ridiculous. And you want to say I'm a hater?
- 1:02:07You want to go attack me on this take on social media?
- 1:02:10Kiss my rear end? You want to look at analytics?
- 1:02:14Analytics would tell you you're on frigging drugs.
- 1:02:18And yes, Jeff, if you listen to the show, you're on freaking
- 1:02:21drugs too, because Jeff sent me a nice little picture of Shay
- 1:02:25Ohtani saying, hey, Earl, check me out now.
- 1:02:28And I, I and I told Jeff, I said, let let me ask you a
- 1:02:32question. Would you, would you bet rather
- 1:02:35bat 2:20 throughout the playoffs or 500?
- 1:02:38Let me ask you that question. He says 500.
- 1:02:40Well, Aaron Judge was hitting 500.
- 1:02:41He says no, he wasn't. I say yes, he was.
- 1:02:44He hit 500 throughout the playoffs in two series he did.
- 1:02:48So what are you going to say about that?
- 1:02:50You going to you going to still say Shay Otani is better than
- 1:02:52Aaron Judge? Oh, absolutely.
- 1:02:54Aaron Judge don't pitch. What is that?
- 1:02:57He's A5 tool player. He plays in the outfield.
- 1:03:00Come on, guys. This guy has all the pressure on
- 1:03:03him on the Yankees. Look what?
- 1:03:05Look what Shay Otani has protecting him.
- 1:03:07Mookie Betts and VP Freeman and VP.
- 1:03:12Do we want to name more? These guys are there's only one
- 1:03:16guy that they actually drafted in their starting lineup, the
- 1:03:21Dodgers. One guy that was their catcher
- 1:03:27could come on, guys you're going to try to sell.
- 1:03:29Me. Yeah, it is pretty good.
- 1:03:31No question that he has Will Smith.
- 1:03:35But isn't isn't that kind of saying the same thing, though,
- 1:03:38Errol, that they've owed that they said back in the day of the
- 1:03:40Yankees that they bought all of their No, no, I'm.
- 1:03:43Going to help you here. I'm going to help you here.
- 1:03:44Jabba in the 90s, in the 90s, we're going to go back.
- 1:03:49Oh, I know where you're going with.
- 1:03:50That we're going. To go back, we're going to go
- 1:03:51back in time because I love, I love Yankee haters out there
- 1:03:56that can't stand the New York Yankees and say that the Yankees
- 1:03:58bought all their championships. OK, let's go from the 90s, early
- 1:04:0490s. Don Mattingly never won 959495.
- 1:04:09Derek Jeter was called up. He played how many games?
- 1:04:11I think it was like 20 something games, 30 something games.
- 1:04:14His rookie full rookie season was 95.
- 1:04:18They made the playoffs. Don Mattingly, they lost against
- 1:04:20Seattle. I remember that.
- 1:04:22They lost Jimmy Lawrence. Remember that 96 They had Bernie
- 1:04:27Williams, They had Derek Jeter, a young Mariano Rivera, a young
- 1:04:33Andy Pettitte. Remember that?
- 1:04:37And a young. I think MO MO even started a
- 1:04:39couple games that you ever lived.
- 1:04:40Witman. Witman was the closer.
- 1:04:42MO was the 8th inning guy. I remember it.
- 1:04:46And I also remember a young Jorge Posada.
- 1:04:50You had five core players, by the way, Bernie Williams, who
- 1:04:53should be in the Hall of Fame, one of the greatest playoff
- 1:04:55players of all time, Derek Jeter, Hall of Famer, Mariano,
- 1:04:58Hall of Famer, Andy Pettit, borderline Hall of Famer.
- 1:05:01These these guys were developed by the Yankees organization of
- 1:05:05the core of players. And then they brought in Scott
- 1:05:08Brosius, Paul O'Neill, who they traded, Roberto Kelly.
- 1:05:12It was a top prospect with the Yankees.
- 1:05:15I do. You want me to go on Tino
- 1:05:16Martinez that they traded for from Seattle?
- 1:05:19They traded a bunch of good young pieces to Seattle to bring
- 1:05:23in Tino Martinez. They made moves.
- 1:05:25They didn't buy players. They traded.
- 1:05:28They traded to bring in players. Yeah, they brought in weight
- 1:05:31box. An old weight box.
- 1:05:33Charlie Hayes. Come on, guys.
- 1:05:36Who made the last grab in 96 to win the World Series?
- 1:05:39Charlie Hayes. Does anybody remember Charlie
- 1:05:41Hayes? Don't even get me started with
- 1:05:43the New York Yankees, because I know the New York Yankees, OK?
- 1:05:46I remember those Yankee teams. They did not buy their
- 1:05:50championships. They built around a core of
- 1:05:53players. The only championship that I
- 1:05:55could consider that they bought into was 2009.
- 1:06:00They brought in CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and Mark Teixeira, and
- 1:06:07Yep, Jabba was a part of that team as well, but he was also
- 1:06:11drafted by the New York Yankees. So was Phil Hughes, and so was
- 1:06:15some of the youngsters that they had on their roster.
- 1:06:17The fact here is guys, the Yankees did not buy their
- 1:06:20championships in the 90s. They didn't.
- 1:06:23They built around a core. This Dodger team.
- 1:06:26I call this the deferred LA Dodgers.
- 1:06:31And until proven otherwise, they bought and if they win this
- 1:06:35championship, they bought these two championships and they're
- 1:06:38probably going to win another one next year and probably
- 1:06:40another one the year after. Because with this roster and the
- 1:06:46way this is put together, they're never going to lose
- 1:06:49ever. And I just think it's that this
- 1:06:53is the way baseball wants to play it.
- 1:06:55And baseball doesn't want to do anything about it.
- 1:06:56And Rob Manfred or Manfred wants to play with these dinghy and
- 1:07:01make excuses and try to change the game.
- 1:07:04Well, sell this big one, this team of the Dodgers.
- 1:07:10It doesn't matter if it's Shayo, Tani, Yamamoto Sasaki.
- 1:07:16This is a board championship and as far as I'm concerned, to even
- 1:07:21put Shea Otani in the same conversations of those greats is
- 1:07:25ridiculous. Sell that.
- 1:07:26You can pile it up and shove it up your ass and cook it whenever
- 1:07:30you want. I just had some pizzas and some
- 1:07:32Ileo's pizzas. I ate them, I'm going to enjoy
- 1:07:34them. And you can kiss my ass because
- 1:07:36he's not anywhere close to any of those guys.
- 1:07:38Quickly before you fire back with Otani stuffed Jabba, I just
- 1:07:41want to just recap both of the series so far.
- 1:07:43The Brewers offense, you, you kind of could tell that if
- 1:07:45you're not going to be able to get to the Dodgers bullpen, you
- 1:07:47have no shot in this series. And the Brewers offensive depth
- 1:07:50that I was concerned about finally showed itself in that
- 1:07:52series. As far as the Blue Jays and the
- 1:07:53Mariners, another fun series like Java.
- 1:07:55We talked about a few weeks ago with the Mariners and the
- 1:07:57Tigers. And it seems like one of those
- 1:07:58series where like the best pitchers are getting beat and
- 1:08:01it's those newer guys, those random guys that are stepping up
- 1:08:04for them. I questioned them.
- 1:08:05Blue Jays using Jeff Hoffman for two innings yesterday.
- 1:08:07We'll see if that comes back to haunt them.
- 1:08:09But should be a very interesting series and two very creative
- 1:08:12managers we've seen so far. Yeah, I mean the series you.
- 1:08:15That. The Brewers was kind of just
- 1:08:17exactly what you said, speedy. If you can't get to the bullpen,
- 1:08:21then it was just it there was no chance.
- 1:08:22And then obviously having Sasaki at the back end of their bullpen
- 1:08:26and you're just like, all right, here we go.
- 1:08:29But no, I you know what? I will agree with you on this
- 1:08:32for one reason Errol is you can't do like when they're
- 1:08:36talking about the post. He's played like parts of two
- 1:08:40post season, like it's a post season and 1/2 right.
- 1:08:42So you really can't say much. I mean it really wasn't I, I
- 1:08:47preface something on Twitter and I was just like, why?
- 1:08:50You know, he he ends up winning, obviously, you know, the MVP,
- 1:08:54But before that it was, you know, he was struggling.
- 1:08:57It had been talked about, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't
- 1:09:00front page news like it was judged.
- 1:09:02So I wanted to, you know, I wanted to hear what everybody's
- 1:09:04opinion and thoughts on it where, where you know, when
- 1:09:06winning helps and you know, you guys have even said it and I
- 1:09:09think everybody else understands it.
- 1:09:11It it's it when you win, it hides a lot of these things, but
- 1:09:15also too when you have those names like you mentioned in
- 1:09:18Mookie and those guys, then you know, it does cover it up a
- 1:09:22little bit. But also where I will say that
- 1:09:25they they bought it. I don't necessarily because
- 1:09:28every team had a chance to get these free agents, right, They
- 1:09:32had a chance and you even said it.
- 1:09:34There's one in Will Smith that they've got.
- 1:09:37So you blame the Dodgers for, well, they're just doing what
- 1:09:40every other team could do. So I don't necessarily think
- 1:09:44that they're buying it or they're, they're the ones to
- 1:09:47blame. It's the guys that don't want to
- 1:09:50spend money. And don't they?
- 1:09:52They have the same opportunity. Every owner's a billionaire.
- 1:09:56Some just have a lot more bees than the other.
- 1:09:58But you don't just own a team because that's the only thing
- 1:10:02you do. So I, I mean, I feel like, and
- 1:10:05I, I think that's kind of a, a common denominator of, of guys
- 1:10:09that have, you know, brought this question to the forefront
- 1:10:12of why is everybody looking at the Dodgers like, what the heck,
- 1:10:16deferred money's been going on forever.
- 1:10:18It's just not been as prevalent as it is now.
- 1:10:21But you have every other team that has every opportunity to do
- 1:10:24this same thing. So don't look at them.
- 1:10:27Look at, look at your team's owner.
- 1:10:28Be like, why aren't we doing this?
- 1:10:30But we've seen what teams have done paying these guys where
- 1:10:36just because you buy them doesn't mean necessarily mean
- 1:10:38you win. The way that they structured the
- 1:10:41deals, yes, 100% where they can afford all these guys now.
- 1:10:45But I mean, you look at the Yankees, they haven't won and
- 1:10:48they've spent a billion dollars between three guys.
- 1:10:51So what are you going to do? You spent 700 for the Mets plus
- 1:10:55Lindo or plus all the other guys.
- 1:10:58There's a billion dollars right there.
- 1:10:59So just because you spend it doesn't necessarily mean you win
- 1:11:02it. The Dodgers just doing it and
- 1:11:04they've had guys to buy in. Like are you going to take
- 1:11:07deferred money to be able to have a chance to be in the World
- 1:11:10Series and know that you're going to have a pretty damn good
- 1:11:12chance yeah, if you if winning means that much, 100%.
- 1:11:18But going back to it, Otani right now, no, there's no way
- 1:11:25that he's he's on the trajectory, like you said, he's
- 1:11:28on that path, but he hasn't played long enough to even like,
- 1:11:33is he starting to be considered the same thing we talked about
- 1:11:36Judge, is judge great? Yes.
- 1:11:38But is he going to get to legendary status?
- 1:11:40But he has to win and he can do everything that he can do, but
- 1:11:46you can't do it by yourself either.
- 1:11:48And so Otani obviously has helped.
- 1:11:51If he continues to do what he's doing right now, then yes, it's
- 1:11:56if he plays 6-7 more years and does this, then he's 100% in the
- 1:12:01question without a doubt. He single handedly had the like
- 1:12:05one of the greatest games ever. I went in and said probably the
- 1:12:10the greatest game, right is Don Lars, perfect game, but ten
- 1:12:14punch outs and three homers and then everybody's like, well, if
- 1:12:17that was judged, they wouldn't have pitched to him and blah,
- 1:12:19blah, blah. Well, they did and he's still at
- 1:12:21Homer. You know how hard it is to hit
- 1:12:22Homer And he had three and punched out 10.
- 1:12:25It's you're, you're probably not ever going to see that.
- 1:12:27I'm not saying that it's not special, but look at look at
- 1:12:30these numbers. Shay Ohtani is batting 225 in
- 1:12:33his career in the playoffs, 23 hits, eight home runs, 19 RBIs,
- 1:12:3821 runs scored in 26 postseason career games.
- 1:12:42All right, That, ladies and gentlemen is not a world beater
- 1:12:45when you compare numbers like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, even
- 1:12:51Roger Maris, what he did in the playoffs, Yogi Berra, what he
- 1:12:54did in the playoffs. That's just then.
- 1:12:56How about now in these days, look at Derek Jeters numbers in
- 1:13:01the playoffs. Go look at Bernie Williams
- 1:13:04numbers in the playoffs. I'm just I'm naming Yankees.
- 1:13:08So to sit here and say that Shay Ohtani, because of what he did
- 1:13:13to eliminate the Brewers, the young Brewers, Oh my God, he is
- 1:13:19absolutely the greatest player of all time.
- 1:13:22It's ridiculous. Is it one of the greatest games?
- 1:13:25If you want to say that, yeah, I guess you can consider that is
- 1:13:28one of the greatest baseball games.
- 1:13:30And by the way, I want to give, I want to say something to
- 1:13:32Stephen A Smith, OK, because his absolute bogus take to this Shay
- 1:13:40Ohtani thing makes me laugh. This is a man we've gone back
- 1:13:46now. Stephen A Smith is a New York
- 1:13:49Yankee fan. Everybody knows that.
- 1:13:51He he roots for New York sports. He always does OK, in the
- 1:13:56beginning of the year, in the middle of the year, he he went
- 1:14:00back and forth trying to compare Shay Ohtani and Aaron Judge.
- 1:14:02And he said Aaron Judge is I would take Aaron George over
- 1:14:05Shay Otani ADA after this game. He he he went back and forth
- 1:14:11with this in in his take and he pretty much brushed Aaron
- 1:14:14Judge's 500. His averaging 500 in the
- 1:14:18playoffs under the rug to a guy that's hitting 220 in the
- 1:14:21playoffs and because of one game with 10 strikeouts and three
- 1:14:26home runs, saying, OK, he's considered I would consider him
- 1:14:29one of the top five top six players of all time already.
- 1:14:33I mean, come on, Steven, you cannot sell me on any of those
- 1:14:36takes and you're going to sell you're going to sell that to a
- 1:14:39sports fan. I'm sorry.
- 1:14:40I I completely brushed that under the rug and I'm I'm not
- 1:14:44one to attack anybody on this show because I don't want to.
- 1:14:47I don't want the backlash, but I don't give a crap.
- 1:14:50I'm going to attack it when I feel like it's just absolute
- 1:14:53bogusness. So that's just my opinion.
- 1:14:56All right, my golf clap of the day.
- 1:15:00This deserves a golf clap, no doubt.
- 1:15:03Golf clap. Golf clap.
- 1:15:07All right, my golf clap of the day is pretty simple.
- 1:15:09Ladies and gentlemen. I had to laugh at this and I got
- 1:15:12to give a shout out to Fish are my executive producer and Jared,
- 1:15:16all the guys that were telling me about this.
- 1:15:17Broncos Dre Greenlaw suspended for one game for conduct towards
- 1:15:23a ref Denver Broncos linebacker Greenlaw has been suspended one
- 1:15:27game by the NFL for an sportsmanlike conduct towards a
- 1:15:32referee following Sunday's game against the New York Giants, the
- 1:15:35league announced on Monday. According to the NFL statement,
- 1:15:38Greenlaws chased a referee, Brad Allen, and verbally threatened
- 1:15:43him as he tried to leave the field.
- 1:15:47Now, if you think about this, just have this sink into your
- 1:15:51head, guys, the game's over. Everybody's in the middle of the
- 1:15:55field. You know, the coaches are
- 1:15:56shaking hands there, You know, Dables pissed off and the
- 1:16:00quarterbacks. And this guy Drake Greenlaw,
- 1:16:03who, by the way, is a great player.
- 1:16:06He was great with San Francisco and he's known to be a really
- 1:16:09good leader. Goes after runs after a referee
- 1:16:14that's probably around almost 60 years old and threatens him.
- 1:16:19And Broccoli threatens his life because of the bad call that he
- 1:16:23made during the game, actually putting his hands on one of his
- 1:16:27players. I mean, how stupid can you be?
- 1:16:31How dumb could you be knowing that you're a professional
- 1:16:35athlete, you're one of the leaders, you're one of the
- 1:16:37captains of the Denver Broncos. And you go out there at the end
- 1:16:41of the game instead of going in the middle of field and being
- 1:16:45excited that your team just came back from that unbelievable
- 1:16:49probable loss and, and you run after a referee and trying to
- 1:16:53kill him. I mean, think about it, it's
- 1:16:59embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing.
- 1:17:02So my, my Golf Club of the day has to go to Drake Greenlaw.
- 1:17:07I, I would have suspended him for another game, maybe 2, maybe
- 1:17:103. I mean, to think that this man
- 1:17:14would go after a lonely referee at the end of the game.
- 1:17:16You could have pulled him to the side, but a little bit more
- 1:17:19professional, not do it the way you did.
- 1:17:21It was just absolutely embarrassing.
- 1:17:22So my Golf Club goes to the Denver Broncos.
- 1:17:25Drake Greenlaw for being an absolute Jackass.
- 1:17:29So my Golf Club goes to Mr. Drake when we come back, ladies
- 1:17:33and gentlemen. Well, I at one point of my life,
- 1:17:39I could have interviewed this guy.
- 1:17:41OK, I could have. I was out in Foxwoods.
- 1:17:44I told the story before the show.
- 1:17:46It was the day before he was there signing autographs and I
- 1:17:50did my show live over there. We left, we didn't stay for him.
- 1:17:54And then the next day, this guy was signing autographs and
- 1:17:58didn't get a chance to interview him.
- 1:17:59But tonight we will. We will be talking to former
- 1:18:03Saints, Dolphins and Super Bowl champion of that Patriot team
- 1:18:08that I could not stand, defensive end Rob Nikovic.
- 1:18:13But first, our sports minute with the fish.
- 1:18:18This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
- 1:18:23What is up everybody? Aaron Fishman here with your
- 1:18:26sportsman. It got a couple of stories
- 1:18:27before we get into the scores this evening.
- 1:18:31In tragic news, former MLB catcher Jesus Montero died in a
- 1:18:35fatal traffic accident in Venezuela, officials said on
- 1:18:38Sunday. Montero's motorcycle crashed
- 1:18:40into a truck on October 4th, and he had been hospitalized for the
- 1:18:43past two weeks in critical condition before succumbing to
- 1:18:47his injuries. Venezuelan baseball sadly bids
- 1:18:50farewell to Jesus Montero, leaving behind a legacy of
- 1:18:53effort and passion for the game. So, according to the Venezuelan
- 1:18:57Professional Baseball League statement on Sunday, today
- 1:19:00baseball mourns his passing. But it also remembers him with
- 1:19:04gratitude for every home run that thrilled the fans, for
- 1:19:07every day in which he proudly defended his country's colors,
- 1:19:10and for every young person who saw him as an example that
- 1:19:13dreams can be achieved. Montero came up in the Yankees
- 1:19:16farm system before being traded to Seattle, where he played 208
- 1:19:19games. He last played in Major League
- 1:19:21Baseball in 2016 and retired from baseball after playing six
- 1:19:24seasons of Venezuelan winter league ball in 2021.
- 1:19:29He was 35 years old. Prayers go out to his family
- 1:19:32from the show and another big week of college football is in
- 1:19:36the books and some familiar faces are finding their way up
- 1:19:39towards the top of the polls. Alabama and Georgia back into
- 1:19:43the top five after early season losses at 4:00 and 5:00,
- 1:19:46respectively. Vanderbilt, who knocked off LSU,
- 1:19:49was the biggest riser, jumping from 17 to 10.
- 1:19:52LSU the biggest faller from 10 to 20.
- 1:19:54And this is the first time Vandy has been ranked in the top ten
- 1:19:57since 1947. Indiana and recently extended
- 1:20:02head coach Kirk Signetti moved up to the number two spot after
- 1:20:05Miami fell to #9 when they fell to Louisville in their game, who
- 1:20:10jumped from unranked to number 19.

- 1:23:00He is a former Super Bowl champion.
- 1:23:03Not a big fan of the New England Patriots, but I always thought
- 1:23:08this guy was a world beater when it came to my New York Jets.
- 1:23:11We are now talking to former Saints, Dolphins, who we could
- 1:23:15care less that he played for, and former Patriots Super Bowl
- 1:23:20champion defensive end Rob Nikovic.
- 1:23:24Rob, what is up my friend? What's up, bud?
- 1:23:29Really, really mad that the Pats have another great quarterback.
- 1:23:35Well, hold on one second. So I mean.
- 1:23:38I'm happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
- 1:23:41I know it's got to be tough. This season's got to be really
- 1:23:43tough for you, so you continue with what you were going to say.
- 1:23:47Well, let's be honest here. I'm a Jet fan.
- 1:23:50I also root on the Eagles. But being a Jet fan, there's a
- 1:23:53lot of there's a lot of hate, OK?
- 1:23:56There's a lot of hate for you. There's a lot of hate for a guy
- 1:24:00named Brady. There's a lot of hate for guys
- 1:24:03with the last name Gronk. There's a lot of hate with a guy
- 1:24:07named Julian Edelman. I can't stand the New England
- 1:24:11Patriots. I couldn't stand them then and I
- 1:24:15can't stand them now. But Rob, there's a funny story
- 1:24:20behind me and you. I was at one point doing my show
- 1:24:24in Foxwoods at K&M. You know, K&M, you, you saw,
- 1:24:28you've signed autographs. Up there.
- 1:24:30OK. And the day before I was doing
- 1:24:34my show, I, I was invited by my boy over there who runs the
- 1:24:37store to come and do our show and entertain the New England
- 1:24:42fans, entertain them. And they kept booing me and, and
- 1:24:46I, I gave away free stuff. They didn't care.
- 1:24:48I was wearing a New York Yankee hat.
- 1:24:50They couldn't stand me. I loved it.
- 1:24:52I absolutely love when Boston fans can't stand me.
- 1:24:55So we were there and and I got told that you were going to be
- 1:24:58there tomorrow. You were signing autographs, you
- 1:25:01and another player. And I was like, should I stay?
- 1:25:03And, and my, my partner, Mike, he was like telling me like we
- 1:25:06got to, we got to go to the city, We got other things to do.
- 1:25:09Can't stay here. And what do I, I don't want to,
- 1:25:12I don't want to interview them anyways.
- 1:25:13I'm a giant fan and you know, he's a giant fan and I'm a jet
- 1:25:17fan. So it never happened.
- 1:25:19We never got a chance to meet you.
- 1:25:20So when Nissan told me he was going to get you on the show, I
- 1:25:25was like, everything crosses over.
- 1:25:27Everything has to cross one way or another.
- 1:25:30So now we have Mr. Rob Nikovic. Now, listen, you used to kill
- 1:25:34the New York Jets, Absolutely kill them.
- 1:25:38And you know what I couldn't stand?
- 1:25:40I wouldn't. You killed them.
- 1:25:41You know what I would say, though, when we played The Jets,
- 1:25:45they were for teams to go up against because they were always
- 1:25:50very tough, very hard to go up against and you felt it.
- 1:25:56So there's some games where your Monday, Tuesday are not so bad,
- 1:26:02like you're not that sore, you're not that.
- 1:26:05But when you had, when Rex Ryan had The Jets going, you know,
- 1:26:10think about like O 9, those were the games where I was so sore.
- 1:26:13And there are a few teams historically, you're always
- 1:26:16going to be sore. It was the Steelers, it was The
- 1:26:21Jets, it was the Ravens. Those three teams, every time we
- 1:26:26played, you knew you were going to feel terrible the next three
- 1:26:29days after the game. So you know, there are other
- 1:26:32teams. On the other hand, you'd be
- 1:26:33like, I play a game yesterday, but The Jets, I always have to
- 1:26:39tip my hat to Rex Ryan because I think he's a great coach.
- 1:26:41He's a guy that motivates and gets a team going.
- 1:26:44Rob, let me tell you something. I was sore and I didn't even
- 1:26:46play in the game. OK?
- 1:26:48I was sore and I didn't even have to play the game.
- 1:26:51I was butt hurt every single time.
- 1:26:54And the one time we beat you guys in the playoffs, all I
- 1:26:57heard was Bart Scott saying can't wait.
- 1:27:03I'll never forget that take because I remember the week
- 1:27:07after I it's the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 1:27:09I remember it. It makes me want to hurl.
- 1:27:12I don't even want to talk about that.
- 1:27:14Let's get off it. Well, then you can't watch Fox.
- 1:27:16You don't want to watch Julian or Tom talk because you don't
- 1:27:19like them. You can't watch any football
- 1:27:21games on Fox on Sundays, ESPN, because every time they have
- 1:27:24Bart Scott on there as a segment, he says can't wait on
- 1:27:26ESPN. So you're kind of limited?
- 1:27:28I don't watch any of that garbage anyways, first of all,
- 1:27:31and I like, I like Julian. I don't.
- 1:27:34I don't. Either I don't either.
- 1:27:35I like Julian. I like.
- 1:27:37Julian too, you know, annoying guys if you're a fan, you know,
- 1:27:40like he's he's one of them guys that you think I probably could
- 1:27:44have done that longer and I stuck to it, right?
- 1:27:48He's one of them guys. They're like, damn, I could have
- 1:27:49been a slot receiver in the NFL. Which I was.
- 1:27:51Tough and I lifted weights every day and I was just a little bit
- 1:27:55insane. Maybe I could have done it.
- 1:27:57White guy out there in the slot receiver just getting killed
- 1:28:00over the middle. But they're most funny thing
- 1:28:02about Julian and I don't know how the hell he didn't get in
- 1:28:05more fights, but every every time he would almost like flick
- 1:28:09flick it at you in like a real disrespectful way.
- 1:28:12You know, he kind of tossed it to you in practice.
- 1:28:14It was so annoying. I've been in a couple fights
- 1:28:17with Julian and he's not going to win because I'm very but he
- 1:28:20is like that annoying. Just would you shut up type guy
- 1:28:25like stop being so annoying. But it worked out for him
- 1:28:28because he is. He was a hell football player.
- 1:28:31So he's a flea, is that what you're saying?
- 1:28:32He's like a little flea that just, you know, he's like a
- 1:28:35Leech. He's.
- 1:28:36Annoying, yeah. Such a blood.
- 1:28:38I'll tell you a story. This is a year I retire.
- 1:28:40So I retire after the game. I figured I played eleven years
- 1:28:46in the league. What's 1213 years gonna give me
- 1:28:48that out? They don't already have, you
- 1:28:50know, As far as tips, if I had another one, yeah, I'd be great.
- 1:28:53But is it worth me smashing my head into a wall for another
- 1:28:56year? Another two years?
- 1:28:57So I decided on terms and that year that I'm out, Julian
- 1:29:02happens to have a little hiccup. He was suspended for the first
- 1:29:05four games of the year. So I'm helping him train a
- 1:29:09little bit. And I'm still, I'm still, I just
- 1:29:11retired, you know, I could still have easily played.
- 1:29:13They were trying to get me to play actually.
- 1:29:15But I just said, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm ready to go.
- 1:29:18But Julian was trying to get ready to come back.
- 1:29:21So he's asked me, hey, could you put some pads on?
- 1:29:24Let's do some blocking and coverage and all this stuff.
- 1:29:27I said, yeah, I got all my stuff.
- 1:29:28I'll put my pads on bubble at BC.
- 1:29:31And it's like maybe the end of September.
- 1:29:35And I say, all right, Jules, like, listen, the last
- 1:29:37concussion I had, I was in the Super Bowl fresh here.
- 1:29:40Like, I don't want to get hit in the head.
- 1:29:42Like I'm good for a while. I don't want to get hit in the
- 1:29:44head anymore. That's why I retired.
- 1:29:47Do you think he listened to me the first play?
- 1:29:51The first play it's like, oh, let's just do a little run.
- 1:29:53Like I'll try to stalk block you.
- 1:29:56He blocks. He takes both my hands off, like
- 1:29:59chops them off and goes like, bang.
- 1:30:01He hits me right with his temple, you little shit.
- 1:30:04So what I did is I said, all right, let's do it again.
- 1:30:07All right. He fired me up.
- 1:30:09So I took him. I just banged, gave him a big
- 1:30:10shot and he threw his ass and I and he said he looked at me,
- 1:30:13he's like, yeah, I should have done that.
- 1:30:14I should just go play. Might as well go play.
- 1:30:17He was one of the hardest workers.
- 1:30:18You got to respect when guys are just that dedicated to
- 1:30:22constantly working at their craft.
- 1:30:23Like he was so just over the top and and a little bit crazy.
- 1:30:28I mean, I think you have to be crazy to play in the NFL a
- 1:30:30little bit. You gotta have a little cuckoo
- 1:30:33little craziness in you. The only thing cuckoo is is all
- 1:30:36the girls that Tom Brady hooked them up with.
- 1:30:39I mean, you got to make sure you're in those situations.
- 1:30:42You know, hey, look at some of these guys.
- 1:30:43Cromartie, Cromartie, he's got like 9 kids.
- 1:30:46That's you got to be smart. You got to be careful.
- 1:30:49Things get tough. He's trying to catch up to his
- 1:30:51former quarterback at Phillip Rivers.
- 1:30:52How many does Phillip have? Like 10.
- 1:30:54I thought it was like 16, yeah. But he adopted like 7 of them.
- 1:30:57He adopted 7. No.
- 1:30:59Did you guys see Sean Alexander, the former running back?
- 1:31:01He he has 12. Oh, yeah, I did hear what?
- 1:31:05He has 12. He just you.
- 1:31:06Have no kids? You just made one.
- 1:31:08It doesn't matter how much money you make if you have 12
- 1:31:11children. What kids are Rob?
- 1:31:15My new My new neighbor has 12 kids.
- 1:31:17They have like one of one of their cars is a Sprinter van.
- 1:31:20Oh God. I wouldn't want, I wouldn't want
- 1:31:27that milk wouldn't want the the milk bill going to Costco.
- 1:31:31I wouldn't want that. We literally just we literally
- 1:31:34just talked about this. Their Costco like every like 2
- 1:31:36weeks has to be like 2 grand. Yeah, 12 kids.
- 1:31:43Listen, I have 3 kids. I got one.
- 1:31:47I honestly wouldn't want any more kids.
- 1:31:49I I mean I have 3 kids and I know they're expensive.
- 1:31:52So yeah. I don't have any kids, not yet,
- 1:31:57and I could only imagine how expensive they're going to be.
- 1:32:02I thought Alexander's only 12. It's 14.
- 1:32:05My bad. That's 14 kids dude.
- 1:32:13You got, AI didn't. Realize that.
- 1:32:15I don't. I don't, I don't know what you
- 1:32:17do with that. I think it's that's a tough
- 1:32:19retirement right there. Well, just and think about the
- 1:32:22age like the age difference, like will will the oldest one
- 1:32:25ever know like their youngest one?
- 1:32:27I mean I. Mean, I think it depends on if.
- 1:32:34I think it depends on if every kid is with the same mom right
- 1:32:38'cause. I I think so so.
- 1:32:39It'll be a big some more. I mean, look, it's if you look
- 1:32:47around the NFL, there's a bunch of kids.
- 1:32:49I mean, look at they'll have more kids than touchdowns last
- 1:32:52year. Yeah, pretty much.
- 1:32:56And now he's going to play in more games.
- 1:32:57I think he had, like, I think he had four town catches and five
- 1:33:01kids last year. Something crazy?
- 1:33:02Yeah. Who had five kids?
- 1:33:04Tyree Kill, Oh my God. Tyree Kill gets around man as
- 1:33:08well as his leg did. Oh yeah.
- 1:33:13Ouch, That's that's. Tough right there.
- 1:33:16I was just, I was just trying to be funny, OK?
- 1:33:19He's going to be 30 what, 3233 coming off 32 like that?
- 1:33:2332, yeah. 32 and if you're a team like you're not going to
- 1:33:26you're going to give him league minimum and he's going to have
- 1:33:28to prove he's healthy. That's just.
- 1:33:33And you know. I'm never going to count anybody
- 1:33:35out but. I'll tell you who's going to
- 1:33:37give it to him. I I give him a league minimum.
- 1:33:40It's going to be Kansas City. KS City is going to the Chiefs
- 1:33:43are going to give it to him and he's going to go over there and
- 1:33:45he's. Going to the Super works.
- 1:33:46That's what's going to happen. If you're a team, what's the
- 1:33:49what's the worst that can happen?
- 1:33:50If you give him a league minimum deal, you're just going to say,
- 1:33:52all right, we'll give you the league minimum.
- 1:33:53And if you get back, Oh my God, we got a home run here.
- 1:33:57If you're half of what you were, we're still going to be
- 1:33:59productive. And if you don't got it, well,
- 1:34:02that's it. Great effort.
- 1:34:04So Rob, Rob, let me ask you a question about that real quick.
- 1:34:07So if he gets league minimum and let's say like Week 8 or
- 1:34:11whatever, he's done. Like he doesn't get paid
- 1:34:13anymore, right? No, he's a vested veteran.
- 1:34:17So actually I think if he's on a roster week 1, he gets his his
- 1:34:21salary guaranteed. OK.
- 1:34:24You know, it's it's it's interesting, but you're.
- 1:34:26A vested. By the way, I just want to let
- 1:34:29everybody know we are talking to former Saints, Dolphins and
- 1:34:31Patriots Super Bowl champion defensive end Rod Nikovic.
- 1:34:34If you don't know who he is, well then you don't know
- 1:34:36football. And if you're a Patriot fan, you
- 1:34:39definitely know who he is because he was part of those bad
- 1:34:42boy Patriots that you couldn't stand.
- 1:34:44I actually liked Vince Wilfork. I always liked him because he he
- 1:34:48did these weird dances on the sidelines and he liked to play
- 1:34:53with his stomach. So I I liked his personality
- 1:34:55even though he was a Patriot, but that's the only guy I
- 1:34:58actually liked. And Darrell Revis, when he won a
- 1:35:01Super Bowl, would you guys that was?
- 1:35:03That was sorry. So that was a crowning moment
- 1:35:05for you. No, it wasn't a crowning moment.
- 1:35:07That was a hated moment for me. My favorite player went to the
- 1:35:10New England Patriots to win a Super Bowl.
- 1:35:13That made me sick to my stomach. I was sick.
- 1:35:17The one of the greatest corners of all time goes and Tom Brady
- 1:35:21says the greatest corner he ever played against.
- 1:35:24The greatest. And he's playing with Tom Brady
- 1:35:26on the same team. Makes me sick.
- 1:35:27You can thank Giants legend Russell Wilson for that.
- 1:35:29One makes me sick. Robert Kraft, you know.
- 1:35:33What, you know what's weird? You know what's weird about
- 1:35:35Revis was I, we always had this like when you're going again,
- 1:35:41when you're going against other teams, you don't really know
- 1:35:45him. You watch a lot of tape, you
- 1:35:47respect good players, but you don't know him on a personal
- 1:35:51level. And when Revis came to play with
- 1:35:55us, we all knew the aura of the Reavis Island and, and how good
- 1:36:01he was. But you didn't really know the
- 1:36:05type of person you didn't know because he's kind of, he's
- 1:36:07definitely a quiet person. He's not like an outgoing.
- 1:36:10He's not going to be somebody that you're going to hear from
- 1:36:12outside of the building. He's not really, I mean, we
- 1:36:15don't really hear much from from now, like, right.
- 1:36:17He's kind of a quiet to himself guy, but it was so weird how
- 1:36:21smooth he was. For example, if I had that was
- 1:36:24very fast and very good. I felt fast like I was trying to
- 1:36:29do my best. Well, probably because I wasn't
- 1:36:31like running a four four. I was like running A-47 Tronica
- 1:36:34guy that runs A4 four. So maybe that's that's the
- 1:36:36reason why. But I'd always watch his tape
- 1:36:38and just be so how smooth he was, smooth and all his
- 1:36:42movements because he almost anticipated where guys were
- 1:36:46going before they actually went there.
- 1:36:48And he would study on the routes of the receivers and any little
- 1:36:53giveaway that they would give before they were making their
- 1:36:55cut. Like do they drag their inside
- 1:36:58foot before they cut out? You know, just little stuff like
- 1:37:02that. And he would always be able to
- 1:37:03just get in your hip pocket and run the route for you, which was
- 1:37:07so crazy to me that somebody can do that.
- 1:37:09And the really, really good ones, really rare ones, are able
- 1:37:13to do that at a high level. You know, he was one of the
- 1:37:16biggest additions that we made in the offseason.
- 1:37:18I'm one of the sickest I've ever been.
- 1:37:20So thank you. Thank you for the New England
- 1:37:23Patriots, for making me watch one of my favorite players win a
- 1:37:26Super Bowl with that team. That team.
- 1:37:30That team, so transitioning to a guy that was with The Jets for a
- 1:37:33much shorter period of time and that is Bill Belichick.
- 1:37:35We've had a lot of different Patriots guests on our show that
- 1:37:37have told us interesting stories about him, what he's like some
- 1:37:40being a drill Sergeant, someone saying, oh, he's a dry humor
- 1:37:42type of guy, but he'll have some random, random humor here and
- 1:37:46there off the field. What was he like for you and do
- 1:37:47you have a good story of Bill Belichick?
- 1:37:50So I think Bill to me was when I got there in 2009, he was
- 1:37:55already, I mean, they were all already established as kind of
- 1:37:59the kind of patriots when I when I got there.
- 1:38:04So I literally just trying to do my best to find my own spot,
- 1:38:10find my own place. And you know, I think Bill, he
- 1:38:15saw something in me that compared that was comparable.
- 1:38:19Early in my career, I was almost nervous to make a mistake.
- 1:38:22We were playing Jacksonville and it was 2009.
- 1:38:25My story was crazy. I was cut, I tore my ICLI, was a
- 1:38:29long snapper. I went to New England.
- 1:38:31My whole career was probably on the almost over.
- 1:38:34I didn't know how much longer I'd have in the league.
- 1:38:36Gave me an opportunity to play on special teams and I took that
- 1:38:40opportunity and I ran with it and I had a great first year
- 1:38:45here in 2009, but I only had a few reps on defense.
- 1:38:49In this particular game, we were playing Jacksonville and I was
- 1:38:53just the mirror guy. So I was just the guy that was
- 1:38:55supposed to mirror the quarterback.
- 1:38:57And I go on the field for one play, it's third down.
- 1:39:01I do my hit the quarterback, he actually throws an interception
- 1:39:05and I run off to the sideline and Bill's like screaming at me
- 1:39:09at the top of his lungs. What are you doing?
- 1:39:12What the F are you doing? And I looked at him and I only
- 1:39:17could think of one thing. And I said like Falcon mirror.
- 1:39:22And we didn't even have Falcon in the playbook.
- 1:39:25Falcon was like from college, right?
- 1:39:28And he looks at me and he's like, we don't even run Falcon.
- 1:39:31Like like and I just remember looking at him like, I don't
- 1:39:34know why I just said that, but I think I did the right thing.
- 1:39:37So I just let him chew me out. And the next day after he
- 1:39:41watched the tape, he walked up to me.
- 1:39:43He goes, hey, you know, on that play, I, I was, I was getting
- 1:39:46after you. You actually did exactly what
- 1:39:47you're supposed to do. And I said, and I didn't say
- 1:39:50anything back. I just said, yes, Sir, I'll keep
- 1:39:52working, you know, because you can't say anything back.
- 1:39:55You can't say anything back to Bill.
- 1:39:56You're not going to win if you say anything back to any coach.
- 1:39:59So that's it. A lesson for you young players
- 1:40:01out there. If somebody's getting after you
- 1:40:03and they're yelling at you, you don't say, but you don't say.
- 1:40:06But I. That's I did the right thing.
- 1:40:09You don't say anything. You just say, yes, Sir, I'll
- 1:40:11I'll get, I'll do what you need. I'll get better.
- 1:40:13And there was one particular year, I think it was 2011 or 12,
- 1:40:21I, I made a play like tackle for like 2 yard gain.
- 1:40:24And I came off on the, came off the field and Bill was like,
- 1:40:27what's up, What's wrong? And I said, dude, I, I keep that
- 1:40:29first play, they got 2 yards. He's like Rob, if they gain 2
- 1:40:33yards on 1st down, that's a win. That's a win because if if they
- 1:40:38don't, if they don't gain another yard, they're in 3rd and
- 1:40:41long. So listen, if you can get, if
- 1:40:44you can minimize the run plays, the 2 yards, I'll always say
- 1:40:48good job. So it was like switching my
- 1:40:50mentality of like, oh, I need negative plays or I need plays
- 1:40:53for zero gain and thinking if it's first down and they only
- 1:40:56gained 2, I'm ahead of this thing.
- 1:40:58I'm OK. So it was like changing my
- 1:41:00mentality on how to play the game.
- 1:41:02And, you know, over the years, learned so much from Bill and so
- 1:41:07much about defense and so much about how offenses are trying
- 1:41:10to, you know, it's all spacing, it's all numbers, route
- 1:41:13concepts. When the offense comes out on
- 1:41:15the field, you automatically know what's coming.
- 1:41:17And you know, I was able to make a lot of plays because I would
- 1:41:21look at the offense, I would alert, hey, this is going to be
- 1:41:24power. This is going to be an over sail
- 1:41:26route Topper double host in all these different.
- 1:41:29They're going to run a slam 3, they're going to run a slam 3
- 1:41:32and I go steal it. I actually think I had a pick
- 1:41:35six against The Jets. He's got a little SLAM 3
- 1:41:38concept, but. I remember that.
- 1:41:40I remember that. I remember that game and I
- 1:41:42remember you dominated that game by the way you were dominating.
- 1:41:47Yeah, I did. If they came out in 2 by 2,
- 1:41:49Dustin Keller was the number two split out.
- 1:41:52So I walked out on the number 2 and if two ran a vertical or a
- 1:41:58sit then Lt. was coming out for a little hook route, like a
- 1:42:02little check down. For the second I felt Dustin go
- 1:42:05up. I just shot for the check down.
- 1:42:07First of all, Butt Fumbler, Mr. Sanchez and I don't want to get
- 1:42:12into the old New York Jets. I just want to talk about you,
- 1:42:15OK? Every time we get these New
- 1:42:18England Patriots on this show, the first team they want to
- 1:42:22attack is The Jets. Why?
- 1:42:25Because I'm a Jet guy. You give Rob some credit, he
- 1:42:27said. Rex Ryan made them sore.
- 1:42:29By the way, by the way, I, I. I did like Rex Ryan.
- 1:42:32You know what I would I would play for?
- 1:42:34I would. I have loved to play for Rex
- 1:42:36Ryan. There were moments where I was,
- 1:42:37I'd look at Rex Ryan, I'd listen to him talk and I'm like, dude,
- 1:42:40this guy, this guy can get a team going and I think he dealt
- 1:42:43with The Jets. I still think you should get a
- 1:42:45job. I think somebody should give him
- 1:42:46an opportunity. If you look at the head coaches
- 1:42:49around the league and how shitty some of them are, he should have
- 1:42:52an opportunity to go be a head coach.
- 1:42:54I mean the N, if you look in general, everything is just not
- 1:43:01that sharp and precise. You got teams that look good one
- 1:43:04week and then the next week they can't score a point or they got
- 1:43:0718 penalties in two games. It's just a lot of sloppy.
- 1:43:11If you really watch the games, it's a lot of sloppy,
- 1:43:15unorganized, badly coaching right now.
- 1:43:17So if you can have somewhat of a disciplined team and you can
- 1:43:23kind of push yourself to being in a winning position right now,
- 1:43:28it's wide open for for you. Because all the good teams that
- 1:43:33we thought were gonna be good are bad.
- 1:43:37So we we did we think that the Ravens were gonna be terrible?
- 1:43:41No. Did we think that Indianapolis
- 1:43:43was great? No, not at all.
- 1:43:46I did. So it's.
- 1:43:47I did. I thought I didn't think any
- 1:43:51would be 6 in one. 100% that I thought Danny Dimes was for
- 1:43:56real. The giants absolutely tossed him
- 1:43:59to the side just like they did the Saquon and I I, I I know
- 1:44:03Java has a question for you, but I'm going to tell you something.
- 1:44:05If you want to watch a documentary when you get a
- 1:44:08chance, I don't know if you heard my take in the beginning
- 1:44:10of the show, go check out the Saquon documentary on prime
- 1:44:13sensational sensational take. It's it's great.
- 1:44:17It's really great coverage by Prime and Saquon Barkley.
- 1:44:20Go ahead, Jono. No, I just, I obviously you kind
- 1:44:23of talked some X and OS, but you brought up something that I'm
- 1:44:26interested in because obviously being an athlete like you, you
- 1:44:30have your game day preparation, you have game day.
- 1:44:32But I'm really interested and you touched on a little bit like
- 1:44:35some weeks you knew we're going to be tougher than the others,
- 1:44:38but kind of take us down that like day after weather,
- 1:44:43depending on what day it is. Now after you play, like kind of
- 1:44:47obviously your body goes through whatever it is, but like how
- 1:44:51like do you manifest like getting back?
- 1:44:53Is it cold tanks? Is it time?
- 1:44:55Do you do you guys have practice?
- 1:44:57Like it's always interesting for me to see because everybody's a
- 1:45:00little bit different of of how you guys do it.
- 1:45:02Like because we play every day. So it's a little bit different
- 1:45:05for us because we kind of got to manage all of it in one day.
- 1:45:08But you guys have, you know, time in between.
- 1:45:10So do you guys have practice film like break that down for me
- 1:45:14like the the couple days afterwards?
- 1:45:17Well, it, it really it comes down to if you get out of a game
- 1:45:21clean. And when I say get out of a game
- 1:45:22clean, like you could get, you know, banged up in one week,
- 1:45:26you, you have no injuries, but you're just sore.
- 1:45:29So you there's certain games where you come out and you're
- 1:45:31playing football and you're you're hitting full grown men
- 1:45:35full speed. So you're going to always be
- 1:45:37sore. There's levels to the soreness.
- 1:45:40So, you know, I can think back to, you know, playing the Ravens
- 1:45:47in the playoffs and it took me like a week to feel normal,
- 1:45:51right? And when I say like to feel
- 1:45:53normal, you know, there are certain days where a Monday or
- 1:45:58Tuesday I would have to go down my stairs one step at a time,
- 1:46:02you know, like very gingerly, slow, hold on to the railing,
- 1:46:06you know, make sure I'm not hurting myself because you're
- 1:46:10literally your whole body is it almost feels like you got ran
- 1:46:13over by something, which you well, you did.
- 1:46:16So, you know, that was certain aspects of it that you're trying
- 1:46:21to just fight through soreness, which is, you know, I mean,
- 1:46:24think back on a certain like training camp day that you take
- 1:46:27a lot of cuts, right? You're like, damn, my midsection
- 1:46:30is really sore today or my, my lats are sore or my front arm is
- 1:46:34sore. And it just takes a it takes
- 1:46:36time for you to just get back to feeling OK.
- 1:46:38But then there's like certain instances where you get where
- 1:46:41you get tweaked or you get rolled up on or you tear
- 1:46:43something, you know, like one year I for my PEC and my tricep
- 1:46:47in the same game. It sucked, but I had to play the
- 1:46:50next week. So I the PAC minor.
- 1:46:52So it wasn't the major. So I just dealt with it.
- 1:46:55I took a bunch of indocin. Indocin is like something you
- 1:46:57live on if you play in the NFL. Yeah.
- 1:47:02So you take everyday which is like a very inflammatory.
- 1:47:07A vitamin for us is pitchers. Yeah, Anderson.
- 1:47:12So you take Indocin, it's good for anti-inflammatory.
- 1:47:15You take a Toradol shot. I don't know if you guys take
- 1:47:17Toradol shots, but take 20 Toradol shots a year because
- 1:47:22that would take four in the preseason in the regular season,
- 1:47:26617 eight to 9/20/22. So like 23 to 24 shots of
- 1:47:31Toradol, which Toradol is like taking a massive dose of
- 1:47:37ibuprofen, but it's it's like 8 times get in your in the
- 1:47:40hospital or something. You know if you have an injury
- 1:47:43they give you Toradol. So when I first got in the
- 1:47:47league, Toradol was a shot and I would take it in my shoulder.
- 1:47:50You had to get grandfathered into that.
- 1:47:52So I always took the shot and I took it in my shoulder because I
- 1:47:56thought it'd get closer to my heart and I don't know stupid
- 1:47:58stuff. But the problem with Toradol
- 1:48:01bloods thin so you feel great, you feel invincible.
- 1:48:05But tore my AC joint like I and I had Toradol, kept playing with
- 1:48:09it and I kept pitting with it and I felt fine.
- 1:48:12I woke up and couldn't move my arm and I was like, this is the
- 1:48:15most pain I've ever been. I tried to tie my shoes really
- 1:48:18bad. And then you got to get through
- 1:48:20it for the whole week and then you got to put a little plastic
- 1:48:23cup on it, then put your pads on it.
- 1:48:25Not I'd tell everybody, hey, in practice, my left shoulder, I'm
- 1:48:29going to use my right shoulders. And then in the games, I'd take
- 1:48:31a Toradol and then I wouldn't feel it.
- 1:48:34Certain games get you. So you could get an injury in a
- 1:48:37game that lasts for two to three weeks.
- 1:48:39And then in that time you're trying to recover, you're still
- 1:48:42getting beat up. So there's some years where you
- 1:48:45might go a whole year without getting really beat up and like
- 1:48:49dinged like with an injury. And then there's other years
- 1:48:52where you just feel like every week you're getting something
- 1:48:55and it's just football's weird because it's you roll the dice,
- 1:48:58you're in a pile or you're next to somebody and a guy gets leg
- 1:49:01whipped and you're standing there one, one foot to the left
- 1:49:06or right, you're fine. But if you're standing in the
- 1:49:08wrong spot, you're going to get rolled up on.
- 1:49:09So it's kind of crazy the way football works because there's a
- 1:49:12lot of injuries that are out of your control.
- 1:49:15And then there's playing fast, trying to make a play and you're
- 1:49:19going to get hurt. It's that's the one thing about
- 1:49:21football. You're 100% guaranteed to get
- 1:49:23hurt, 100%. It doesn't matter if if you play
- 1:49:2710 snaps or 100 snaps, eventually you're going to get
- 1:49:30hurt. We are talking to former Saints,
- 1:49:33Dolphins and Super Bowl champion for the Patriots defensive and
- 1:49:37Rob Nikovic. Last question, and this is a
- 1:49:39long one for me because I I remember these Patriot teams.
- 1:49:44I couldn't stand them. OK, So I watched the dynasty.
- 1:49:47I watched the 10 part dynasty on prime.
- 1:49:50It was sensational, very well put together.
- 1:49:54A lot of questions from that documentary that I had, and we
- 1:49:58haven't really had any Patriots on since I watched that
- 1:50:02documentary. I'm sure you've checked it out.
- 1:50:05And Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick, at the tail end of
- 1:50:09Bill Belichick's time over there.
- 1:50:11There was a lot of yapping and I know you were there at some
- 1:50:15parts of it and I, I want to know your thoughts to the back
- 1:50:19end of that whole story between them two and Tom Brady.
- 1:50:23How what type of player is Tom Brady in the locker room and and
- 1:50:28what type of teammate is he outside, outside of the off the
- 1:50:32field and outside of the football field?
- 1:50:35Well, the first question, I'll say, Mr. Kraft, you watch that
- 1:50:39dynasty, you know, you see the progression of where he was at
- 1:50:43when he bought the team, where where the whole team and
- 1:50:47organization was as an organ, you know, like their facilities,
- 1:50:53the what the league thought of them.
- 1:50:56They were, they were kind of a laughing stock of the NFL.
- 1:50:59They were bottom of the barrel. The ownership, the team
- 1:51:02ownership wasn't great. They didn't spend any money on
- 1:51:05anybody, their facilities or they didn't really want to be
- 1:51:09great. So I think the initial story of
- 1:51:12Mr. Kraft buying the team because he was a local kid,
- 1:51:15local guy that loved the Patriots.
- 1:51:17He was a real estate guy. He owned the parking lots first.
- 1:51:20All these different things went into him being able to buy the
- 1:51:23team. And then when he bought the
- 1:51:24team, he went to try and create greatness, right?
- 1:51:27They just put Bill Parcells in the Hall of Fame.
- 1:51:30Time heals all things. And, you know, Parcells now is
- 1:51:35in his 80s and, you know, you heard him talk and you talk.
- 1:51:38You heard the things that said and he wish you would have done
- 1:51:42stuff a little differently. That's that was right out of his
- 1:51:44mouth. You know, And I think if you go
- 1:51:46back at any point in anyone's life, when you start to look
- 1:51:50back at the way you handled certain situations, you probably
- 1:51:53would have differently knowing what you know now versus what
- 1:51:56you know then. And, you know, I think that's
- 1:51:59the same with any time you have success, there's always somebody
- 1:52:03that there's how do we get here? Who's got the who's going to get
- 1:52:07all the looks and the credit? And that happens on football
- 1:52:10teams. That happens on baseball teams,
- 1:52:12high school football teams in high school that have with the
- 1:52:1520 plus years of success, different relationship things
- 1:52:19that popped up. And I could think about being
- 1:52:21with my best friend for 20 years and I want to kill him.
- 1:52:24You know, like there's moments when you're around somebody that
- 1:52:27much every day for 20 years, you're going to have fights and
- 1:52:33you're going to have disagreements.
- 1:52:34That's just human encounters and human relationships.
- 1:52:38So I think with Bill and Mr. Kraft in the years that they had
- 1:52:43together, there were definitely their ups and downs there, but
- 1:52:46there was so much success there and there was so much good that
- 1:52:49came out of that relationship because Kraft wanted the best.
- 1:52:52He wanted the best coach. He went and got Bill.
- 1:52:55But with that, he gave up some of the power because Bill's
- 1:52:59going to say, I want this done a certain way, GM control or I
- 1:53:02want to be able to say so on who we keep, who we don't, what's
- 1:53:06the cap? What's all these different
- 1:53:07things that Bill was able to to do for such a long time that is
- 1:53:11so rare that a head coach is able to do that?
- 1:53:15Because Bill was literally the smartest coach, but he also was
- 1:53:19a great manager of the people in the building.
- 1:53:23He understood how to get the most out of each individual.
- 1:53:25Hey, maybe this guy got to push a little bit differently.
- 1:53:28Maybe this guy I have to encourage a little bit.
- 1:53:30That's the greatness of Bill. He's able to figure you out like
- 1:53:34psychologically and push you. And he understood me on like,
- 1:53:38hey, that's not good enough. Like I was a negative
- 1:53:41enforcement motivator. So if you, I don't need a pat on
- 1:53:44my back, I need you to tell me how how bad I suck and I'll go
- 1:53:47out there and I'll play better, you know, like that's what I am
- 1:53:50as a as a player. But I think it was just the
- 1:53:52amount of time, you know, that documentary I think is a little
- 1:53:56strange in, in the success and the amount of championships and
- 1:54:01the amount of wins and all the things that the Patriots were
- 1:54:04able to do for that long is really never going to be
- 1:54:10replicated, in my opinion, because of the length.
- 1:54:13So to celebrate that and to really honor that, I was a part
- 1:54:18of that and I'm a part of those guys.
- 1:54:19You can't have the Patriots without Craft.
- 1:54:21You couldn't have the dynasty without Bill and you couldn't
- 1:54:25have all that Tom and it all works together.
- 1:54:28And if you want to change it any way you can, it was doesn't
- 1:54:30workout. So that's just the way history.
- 1:54:32That's the way history looks back on it.
- 1:54:35You know, it was the the greatest trio ownership head
- 1:54:38coach of all time. Maybe one day they'll or whoever
- 1:54:42they'll say, hey, I wish I would have handled that ending
- 1:54:44differently, but it is the way it is and ends great.
- 1:54:47You know, I think about, you know, my high school girlfriend
- 1:54:49that didn't end well. Nothing ends great.
- 1:54:51I mean really hard to end things on a high note.
- 1:54:53Really. The endings are always gonna be
- 1:54:56tough. How about Tom Brady off the
- 1:54:58field? What type of player?
- 1:54:59What type of person is he? Tom is in a insane competitor,
- 1:55:03so I don't care if it's you're playing cards on the airplane,
- 1:55:08if you're playing wiffle ball in the locker room, if you're
- 1:55:11shooting baskets, he's always trying to win.
- 1:55:14So I would say that Tom is #1 most generous, competitive,
- 1:55:20everything that he can. So it's either if he's going to
- 1:55:23be the best football player, the best friend, anything, he's
- 1:55:26going to go all in on that. And I've told this story, but
- 1:55:30there's two here. I was on an airplane, I was
- 1:55:32flying back from maybe Miami and we're playing cards and I see
- 1:55:36Tom walk back and I'm like, I don't want to play with Tom
- 1:55:39because he's got an in pot. So if the pot grows, he's never
- 1:55:44going to back out. He's just going to grow and
- 1:55:46grow. It's just going to get bigger.
- 1:55:47So when Tom started playing cards, I said to myself, if I
- 1:55:50can win Tom's money, I'm out and I'm not playing anymore.
- 1:55:54So we were playing like Blu-ray. The pot grew.
- 1:55:58It was like 1500 and it was Tom's money and I won and I said
- 1:56:03I'm done for the day. I'm good.
- 1:56:04And he looked at me crazy. He's like, you are not stopping.
- 1:56:09I'm going to win my money back. And I said Tom, I got $1500 a
- 1:56:13year money. I'm.
- 1:56:14Going to go buy. Something with this, you know,
- 1:56:17and he was so mad and I could see it pissed off about it, but
- 1:56:21and I didn't play. I was done because the pot was
- 1:56:2325,000. He would have continued and I'm
- 1:56:26not that guy. I'm not a gambler like that.
- 1:56:28We're had a small group of guys playing cards in the pot.
- 1:56:31Might have got to 1000 bucks, not 25 or 50,000.
- 1:56:35That's a drop in the hat for Tom.
- 1:56:36So that was the only time we played cards.
- 1:56:39This was the captain's meeting one year.
- 1:56:41And in the captain's meeting, they go around and they ask, you
- 1:56:44know, hey, how's the defensive line looking?
- 1:56:46Oh, they're good. And hey, Tom, how's the
- 1:56:48quarterbacks? How's the offense?
- 1:56:49We're good. They go around and as we're
- 1:56:52walking out of the building, looking at his watch and I go,
- 1:56:54man, Tom, that's a nice watch. And it was like A tag because he
- 1:56:58had some sponsorship with tag said, hey, you got a guy?
- 1:57:01Because I'd love to buy that, you know, like you got a guy.
- 1:57:03And he looks at me and he goes, do I have a guy?
- 1:57:05Do I? Of course I have a guy.
- 1:57:07Think anything of it? Like that was all I said to him.
- 1:57:10And the next day I come in the locker room and there's a brown
- 1:57:14box on my locker on my chair. And he had got me the watch
- 1:57:19brand new in a box. And I was like, are you are you
- 1:57:24kidding me? Like who does that?
- 1:57:26It was insane. Like it was like the most
- 1:57:30thoughtful things. Like I just complimented on his
- 1:57:32watch. That's all I did.
- 1:57:33And and I had that watch in my lock.
- 1:57:35Crazy, just unbelievable. So that's just a small story
- 1:57:39about Tom. He's he's a very generous, very
- 1:57:43sensitive, you know, he's emotional guy.
- 1:57:45We've seen that before. But that's just the way he
- 1:57:48really is. He's truly like that in real
- 1:57:49life. He's he's going to be emotional.
- 1:57:52He's going to, you know, talk to you truthfully and he's going to
- 1:57:56give you everything he's got. Well, before we let you go,
- 1:58:00there's somebody that wants to say hello to you.
- 1:58:02He's the guy. Yo, what's up the guy?
- 1:58:05What up dude? How?
- 1:58:06You doing how you been? I'm good.
- 1:58:09How? You doing thank you for joining
- 1:58:11our show and thank you for taking the time to to talk to

- 1:58:18I love working with them. I don't know if you didn't
- 1:58:21didn't know. I'm the PR manager for the show
- 1:58:22now too, so double work. Awesome.
- 1:58:25Very cool. Yeah, very cool with.
- 1:58:27That we still didn't get anything on his walls.
- 1:58:30Look me, I'm like my wife's going to kill me if she sees
- 1:58:32that. Like I, I literally, this is my
- 1:58:34like own domain, my college helmets.
- 1:58:36I got all my NFL helmets back here.
- 1:58:39You got your man. Cake, this is just my space.
- 1:58:41Come up. Look at these cleats.
- 1:58:43These are Super Bowl winning cleats.
- 1:58:44Still have the confetti stuck on the bottom.
- 1:58:46Oh. Wow, that's crazy.
- 1:58:48Damn, that's oh that's awesome. Well, isn't that?
- 1:58:51Crazy Rob. So I just tell my kids, do not
- 1:58:54that off. Rob, we had to get you to
- 1:58:56Fanatics. Fanatics Fest next year or Super
- 1:58:59Bowl? Let's do it.
- 1:59:00Yeah, let's do it. I'm ready.
- 1:59:03Oh, what's that? Nice, I love it.
- 1:59:06Sweat stains everything. That's the best.
- 1:59:08He also Jabba kept the best Jabba kept his underpants too in
- 1:59:12the, you know, in the World Series too.
- 1:59:15I kept everything they tried. They Hey Rob, when you guys won,
- 1:59:19did they try to steal your shit? Dude, so after the Super Bowl,
- 1:59:25after the Super Bowl, I go in the backroom back to the state.
- 1:59:31This is after Super Bowl 49. So we play in Arizona and
- 1:59:37Arizona's field was terrible. It was super like super slick,
- 1:59:41super like slimy. They painted the whole field
- 1:59:44green. There wasn't much grass there.
- 1:59:48It was crazy. So Bill came in, he mandated, he
- 1:59:51goes. Everybody is putting on their
- 1:59:53cleats. So these cleats are like long
- 1:59:56metal studs. When I got back to where's?
- 2:00:00This is that helmet. One second.
- 2:00:01So when I got back to the stadium after we won, this is
- 2:00:04that helmet, that one. This is the 49.
- 2:00:08So when I got back to the stadium, I was like, where's all
- 2:00:12my stuff? Like where's my pads?
- 2:00:14Where's my pants? Where's my jersey?
- 2:00:17They had everybody's stuff in the back, like folded but put
- 2:00:21away, almost like they were going to sell it or something.
- 2:00:24So I walked back there. I grabbed my pants, my gloves,
- 2:00:27my cleats, my helmet, everything.
- 2:00:30I took it out, took it all out. So.
- 2:00:34They tried to do the same thing. They told us like, hey, if you
- 2:00:37if you want them like run this and so like this flag in the
- 2:00:41background. They only made two of them and
- 2:00:46Johnny had one. I had the other.
- 2:00:48They took Johnny's. I had my clubby.
- 2:00:52I gave him 500 bucks to go put. It in the.
- 2:00:55Back of my car so they couldn't find it and this is the only
- 2:00:58other one that they have. I don't know where the other one
- 2:01:00at but this one literally is sitting on my wall.
- 2:01:03I don't. I don't.
- 2:01:04Want to get in trouble, that's for sure.
- 2:01:06This is so this. One right here, this is the
- 2:01:09Super Bowl comeback. This is the comeback jersey.
- 2:01:13So I still got all my marks on it and I got all the black paint
- 2:01:17and everything. All right, Stop bragging, Mr.
- 2:01:19Rich. Stop.
- 2:01:21Bragging. Let's go.
- 2:01:23Rob, hold on. Do you remember the Sanchez
- 2:01:25fumble? I sacked Sanchez this.
- 2:01:27Jersey. OK, you know what?
- 2:01:31Screw you, fumble. Screw you, right?
- 2:01:33I recovered the ball. This is that Jersey.
- 2:01:36You know what? You know what?
- 2:01:37I liked you and then you had to bring up that story.
- 2:01:41Thank you anyways, Rob. Green on that?
- 2:01:44Rob, we love you man, and we'd love to get you on the show
- 2:01:47again. We've definitely would love to
- 2:01:50get your your content if the Patriots so-called make the
- 2:01:54playoffs. Let's get you on the show.
- 2:01:56Let's talk a little Patriots football.
- 2:01:58I'm sure you have your own take on Drake, May as he's not.
- 2:02:04Well, you should check out. Rob has a.
- 2:02:07Hey, Rob, go plug your show on the show.
- 2:02:09Plug your show. Yeah, Rob, plug your show.
- 2:02:12Yes, Scott, I got a podcast. It's me and my buddy Dan.
- 2:02:15So it's the Dan and Ninko show car dealer in New England.
- 2:02:18So he made, he had a bunch of car dealers when I used to use
- 2:02:22cars from him. We started a show, so we we talk
- 2:02:26about sports cars, a little bit of everything.
- 2:02:30We drink beers on the show. It's always fun.
- 2:02:33You know, we try a new beer every every episode, try
- 2:02:36different beers locally, different brews.
- 2:02:39So it's it's a laid back, have a good time.
- 2:02:42It's a good show. Dan and Anko show.
- 2:02:45But I think back to your statement about the Patriots.
- 2:02:49I think they have a really good perfect storm of a week schedule
- 2:02:55and also a down NFL to where, you know, you look at the first
- 2:03:00beginning, the first four weeks of the season, they lost to the
- 2:03:02Raiders. They lost to the Steelers.
- 2:03:04Like those two teams, they could easily beat, right?
- 2:03:06They were beating themselves with penalties, turnovers, the
- 2:03:09whole thing. So if Drake May can continue to
- 2:03:13take care of the football #1 don't turn the ball over, don't
- 2:03:16throw interceptions, hold on to the ball, right?
- 2:03:20I think that they're going to have a good opportunity to get
- 2:03:23into the playoffs now once you get in the playoffs.
- 2:03:25Anything can happen. I don't it's anything can
- 2:03:28happen. It's any it's it's honestly it's
- 2:03:31the most disciplined teams that are able to move on.
- 2:03:34And the ones that aren't, they usually lose by screwing up a
- 2:03:38field goal or time of possession.
- 2:03:39Or The Jets, you know they don't get 3 at the half.
- 2:03:41The Jets, you know The Jets. So The Jets kind of kind of like
- 2:03:46The Jets, but The Jets won't sniff the playoffs this.
- 2:03:49Year all right, all right, Rob, I'm I'm good here.
- 2:03:53Thank you for joining the show. I I knew it.
- 2:03:56I knew it. I, I knew it.
- 2:03:58Every time I get a patriot on this show, they, they, they dig
- 2:04:02you. Served it up on a platter.
- 2:04:03Listen, listen. I served a lot of things up on a
- 2:04:06platter. If you listen to our show, you
- 2:04:08think, you think your show's crazy.
- 2:04:10Oh my God, just listen to this one.
- 2:04:12But we really appreciate the time, man, and we love you and
- 2:04:17and we definitely want to get you back on the show.
- 2:04:18So whenever you'd like to come back, you bring Dan on the show.
- 2:04:23We'll go back and forth and argue.
- 2:04:25Just not drink beer. That's that's we're, we're
- 2:04:27trying to stay. We're trying to keep it away
- 2:04:29from beer. We're we're trying to, we're
- 2:04:31trying to be a clean cut shop. You know we're trying.
- 2:04:35Well, you know, just one light beer is never going to hurt.
- 2:04:38You. I don't drink, OK?
- 2:04:39So I'm from the Midwest my I grew up in Joliet, IL.
- 2:04:43You're from Illinois, he's from Nebraska.
- 2:04:46Oh my God. And we're from New York.
- 2:04:48Figure that one out. Wonderful.
- 2:04:51It's just a wonderful combination.
- 2:04:53But Rob, you're fantastic. Keep up the good work.
- 2:04:57I definitely want to get you on the show again.
- 2:04:59I know Jabba does. So we'll talk off air.
- 2:05:01And thank you for joining us. All right.
- 2:05:06Thanks guys. Have a great rest of your show.
- 2:05:08Rob Nikovic, he's fantastic, great.
- 2:05:12Interview. Great interview, gave us so many
- 2:05:15good takes, told us so many different stories, Knows how to
- 2:05:18hold a conversation. Great job, guys, great job.
- 2:05:21Awesome job that was. All he's a former patriot that
- 2:05:25kind of got under my skin, but nevertheless I liked it.
- 2:05:29I I can't, I can't hate on a person that has a good
- 2:05:32personality. Alright, save your tears.
- 2:05:35Mom, what's one thing that you can't talk to me about?
- 2:05:39My sexual fantasies. Say yourself.
- 2:05:44This is not ideal, but if it's, what means it is not ideal, but
- 2:05:46if it's just not ideal. But if it is, what?
- 2:05:48Mean you can't treble stamp a double stamp.
- 2:05:51You can't. Treble stamp a double stamp.
- 2:05:52Boy, you can't dribble stamp a double stamp but but you.
- 2:05:57Guys, now it's time for save your tear.
- 2:06:03Welcome back to Save Your Tears, everyone's favorite tier based
- 2:06:08daily fantasy contest for Week 7 of the NFL.
- 2:06:12Again, this is the compliment chorus edition of Save Your
- 2:06:16Tears. It's a good one.
- 2:06:18The scores pretty big variance, real high scores at the top,
- 2:06:22real low scores at the bottom. Java.
- 2:06:24I don't know if you got a chance to check out the segment from
- 2:06:27last week, but we used the Java Wheel of Destiny to make your
- 2:06:32picks. Unfortunately, Java the wheel
- 2:06:36and here's here's where the selections you can pick from.
- 2:06:39There's a couple of names on there that did not really do
- 2:06:41much and someone dollar guys that did pretty well.
- 2:06:44One of those $1.00 guys that did did not do well was Justin
- 2:06:47Fields. No one was dumb enough I believe
- 2:06:49to take them. Oh wait, the wheel was Jabba.
- 2:06:51You ended up with Justin Fields. You ended up a lot of us took
- 2:06:56Reese Hall. He did nothing good performers
- 2:07:00of the day. Cam Scatabo obviously did well
- 2:07:03with the Giants, scoring a lot of points and still losing.
- 2:07:06Someone took Bryce Young, he got hurt.
- 2:07:08Bonix was the big point guy with the two rushing touchdowns and
- 2:07:12two passing touchdowns. Are you guys ready for the big
- 2:07:14reveal? Do it.
- 2:07:15Here it is. It's Tommy.
- 2:07:19Whoops with the win. With a big.
- 2:07:24Time score. It's being really smart going
- 2:07:26with a bunch of giants. I think the Errol, you get beat
- 2:07:30here because Theo Johnson got that deflected touchdown and
- 2:07:34that was really the difference here between you and him.
- 2:07:36Errol again, killing it in the FedEx Cub standings.
- 2:07:40I'm assuming if Speedy's going to keep track of them, Errol's
- 2:07:44got to be way at the top of the FedEx Cup every year.
- 2:07:48And I got third on this one kind of by default.
- 2:07:51Speedy, you're the one that took Bryce.
- 2:07:53Bryce Young, he got hurt with the ankle.
- 2:07:55Dowdle for some reason, was not the starting running back in
- 2:07:59that game behind Chubba, Hubbard and a bunch of other guys didn't
- 2:08:04really do all that much. Mayer did only got.
- 2:08:07Two points. Not really good.
- 2:08:10Sutton was a big point getter in this one.
- 2:08:12Jackson Dart, obviously good points.
- 2:08:14Mahomes was good, but not worth the $5.00 with the other guys
- 2:08:17that perform in them. What a great job.
- 2:08:20Here it is, Tommy, your compliment chorus.
- 2:08:24Let's start with Jabba representing the wheel of Jabba.
- 2:08:29Yeah, the wheel. The wheel knew Tommy was going
- 2:08:32to win. So it's, you know, he was, he
- 2:08:35was always, like we said he was, he was in the wedding party, but
- 2:08:38he was never the bride or the groom.
- 2:08:39But now we've seen him, you know, step his game up, you
- 2:08:42know, he's. He's.
- 2:08:44He's maturing like wine, you know, as it gets, you know, it
- 2:08:47just gets better with age over here.
- 2:08:50So great picks. I mean, you, you stayed true to
- 2:08:54your giants. I will give you, I will give you
- 2:08:56all the credit in the world because ADPD first I will say.
- 2:08:59I am the real last place of this week I'm not going to get.
- 2:09:01A I'm not going to. Take shots of Java for.
- 2:09:03Having to be stuck with a. Wheel that gave him a.
- 2:09:05Combined like $10 or something like that.
- 2:09:07The wheel was not nice. We felt bad and gave you Kelsey
- 2:09:10for $5.00 because you didn't spend that much money.
- 2:09:12The wheel was. I was just.
- 2:09:13Looking at the team, I was like. Dang, I've definitely had some
- 2:09:16some rolled over the wheel was brutal to you.
- 2:09:18So you were you were ahead of me this week, Java, but for our
- 2:09:21winner Tommy Scoop, you did. Threw some darts this week with
- 2:09:25your picks. Very impressive.
- 2:09:26You were. I was a skeptical of scat
- 2:09:29against a very good run defense in the Denver Broncos, Very good
- 2:09:31overall defense in the Denver Broncos.
- 2:09:33You were bold enough to stick with your guns with our New York
- 2:09:36football Giants. And even Theo Johnson, the guy
- 2:09:38that again, he's been, we've been waiting for him for the
- 2:09:40long term for development with him.
- 2:09:42But definitely him and Bellinger definitely showed off in that
- 2:09:44game and you were smart enough to pick them.
- 2:09:46Whereas I took a quarterback that was a number one overall
- 2:09:48pick and got hurt. All right, Tommy, when you look
- 2:09:54through the. Sands of Time.
- 2:09:59Especially in the professional wrestling sands of time.
- 2:10:03Your meteoric rise. I decided to try to figure out
- 2:10:08who would be the greatest comparison it to me it feels
- 2:10:11like the American nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
- 2:10:14You and him are on the same type of trajectory.
- 2:10:18He again, you know, for a while he started out as a jobber.
- 2:10:22Not saying you were ever a. Jobber or anything like that?
- 2:10:24Tommy, what the hell is a jobber?
- 2:10:27A jobber A jobber A joba. You know a guy that they.
- 2:10:32Would just run out there with a headband.
- 2:10:33That would get. His butt kicked into men.
- 2:10:35And get slimmed. Roba.
- 2:10:37Jabba takes it up the ass. Arrow is Jabba when he has his
- 2:10:40dobber in the dirt. Let.
- 2:10:43Me, get back to being complimentary.
- 2:10:46You see, you go. Down their.
- 2:10:48Legs, then you get. To the chance where you can get
- 2:10:50the Intercontinental title, but they give you a crappy gimmick,
- 2:10:53Tommy, They give you a crappy gimmick and you got to go to AW
- 2:10:57and you got to come back as the I'm like a serial killer and
- 2:11:01look at you now gold medal once again at the top are in the
- 2:11:05dirt. Save your tears.
- 2:11:07You're now the American nightmare, Tommy.
- 2:11:09Whoa, got to hit. Had to hit one of those real
- 2:11:12quick. What kind of compliment is that?
- 2:11:16I like it was a personal compliment that was thoughtful.
- 2:11:19And caring. I liked all the.
- 2:11:21References and I understood all. Of them so thank you fish.
- 2:11:23I could care less about any of those references.
- 2:11:25Of course you couldn't. What?
- 2:11:27You didn't win, you got second all.
- 2:11:33Right. I would have talked about, you
- 2:11:34know, freaking honey. Mustard dressing.
- 2:11:38First of all, it's honey mustard, not.
- 2:11:40Dressing. It's salad dressing, bro.
- 2:11:43It's no, it's. Not it's mustard.
- 2:11:45And I mean basically, technically it is salad dressing
- 2:11:48I. Can't imagine you putting that
- 2:11:49on your salad. Though that's very no, I would
- 2:11:51not put that salad dressing. Thousand Islands.
- 2:11:53Is where I would go with my salad dressing.
- 2:11:56You know, that's just. Ketchup in Mayo, right?
- 2:11:58That's very. Bad dressing, Actually, that's
- 2:11:59Russian. That's Russian, by the way.
- 2:12:01No Russian has. Relish in it.
- 2:12:03That's with. Relish in it, Thousand Islands.
- 2:12:05Just literally ketchup in Mayo. You can make it by mixing them.
- 2:12:08Together with a spoon. Pickle juice in there too.
- 2:12:10Well, I like the usher in the background, so I can't.
- 2:12:12I can't hate on that one. I feel very.
- 2:12:15Constipated listening to this. Track Anyways, you know, You
- 2:12:20sure that isn't your pizza? That could be the pizza too that
- 2:12:23you use. Tommy Man.
- 2:12:30I can't. I can't.
- 2:12:30Say anything bad about you man besides you taking dumps and and
- 2:12:34doing what you. Do best I I?
- 2:12:36Think your quality of introductions on this show when
- 2:12:42it comes to wrestling, when it comes to takes, or even when
- 2:12:45you're working on the board is sensational.
- 2:12:48You look the part, you keep growing your hair, and maybe one
- 2:12:52day you'll look like Don King. You're fantastic, my friend. 20
- 2:13:01backhanded compliment right there.
- 2:13:03Don King again, this. I don't know if Don King is 51.
- 2:13:08Percent 23 years old. Are you saying his, Are you
- 2:13:14saying the business acumen of Don King I can get?
- 2:13:16Behind that, that's a compliment we can only hope.
- 2:13:23Not the hair. Well, the hair would look pretty
- 2:13:25good with it, but although although I have been told that
- 2:13:28my hair is so. Bad.
- 2:13:29I look like a. Jewish Don King when my hair is
- 2:13:32standing straight on. Well, I don't.
- 2:13:33Know about that? That would be a scary Jewish
- 2:13:35man. Hold on.
- 2:13:39Oh, there, please. That's not good.
- 2:13:42That's not good. Up Tom.
- 2:13:44Another. Time you are sensational, great
- 2:13:47personality and always been behind me on everything that
- 2:13:51I've done and. And still do.
- 2:13:53I love you as family. Your brother dates my sister, so
- 2:13:57I guess we can call each other somewhat of a family.
- 2:14:00So congratulations on the win. Cherish it because next week you
- 2:14:05will lose. I appreciate y'all.
- 2:14:09All right. Again, when you lose and save
- 2:14:13your tears, you can't cry about it.
- 2:14:15You got to save your tears. I'll be back next week.
- 2:14:19I'm not crying, I'm just giving you my take here.
- 2:14:21Speedy Stat of the Week. The.
- 2:14:23Speedy. Well, you may run like me, but
- 2:14:28you hit like stat. Of the week so you you want me
- 2:14:32to tell you guys something I'm about to do a basketball draft
- 2:14:36OK and and this is the. Craziest thing, they purposely
- 2:14:40did this because they want me to lose these SOP's.
- 2:14:44The fantasy. It's fantasy.
- 2:14:46I'm I'm playing fantasy. I do it every year.
- 2:14:48And my friend Justin, he. Purposely.
- 2:14:51Two years ago didn't tell me the rules and I drafted the wrong
- 2:14:54player. So now I got I got it all set up
- 2:14:57and these guys are cracking jokes right now saying don't do
- 2:15:00another error, don't do another arrows.
- 2:15:02So I I'm going to outsmart them this year and absolutely execute
- 2:15:07them. I think I'm drafting 3.
- 2:15:10I'm drafting 6th. So the IT looks like it would be
- 2:15:15either Cunningham or Edwards. So I gotta have to make a
- 2:15:19decision soon. But oh, your boy Anne Edwards.
- 2:15:23Yeah, but I, I, it's either him or I might go big, maybe pick
- 2:15:27Anthony. Davis But I'm I'm afraid Anthony
- 2:15:29Davis can't stay healthy. Fish out the off field issues
- 2:15:31don't matter for for for fantasy.
- 2:15:33Yeah, it doesn't. No, I I think, I think logic.
- 2:15:36Says take the kid who's still getting better.
- 2:15:39I know who's that, you know. Anthony there, Cunningham.
- 2:15:42Kay Cunningham's really young. He's really young.
- 2:15:46I'm probably going to go. Anthony so.
- 2:15:49Anthony. Edwards, I think.
- 2:15:50That might be a mistake. I'm not.
- 2:15:53He gets hard more. He gets more stat categories.
- 2:15:55Kate Cunningham doesn't stay healthy.
- 2:15:57I'm with our own Jared. Jared.
- 2:15:59Says. Cade was a better fantasy player
- 2:16:00last year. Yeah, he was.
- 2:16:03Yeah, he was, but. Anthony.
- 2:16:04Edwards is a guy that stays healthy, so I'm going to keep
- 2:16:07the healthier guy. And the guy that falls flat on
- 2:16:09his face, We'll see. We'll see how it all falls
- 2:16:12together. The projection, because who
- 2:16:14knows what can happen? Who knows?
- 2:16:16All right, let's get the music going.
- 2:16:18Speedy. What's the stat of the week?
- 2:16:21Well, this is dedicated to our guest.
- 2:16:23Rob Ninkovich and to our guy Mikey.
- 2:16:25See who I beat in our fantasy. Hockey League this week.
- 2:16:28I took him down. I'll go to his future top five
- 2:16:31quarterback in Drake May, who set the New England Patriots
- 2:16:33franchise record for best completion percentage of the
- 2:16:36game at 91.3%. Tom Brady never did that in his
- 2:16:39career. His highest was 88.5.
- 2:16:41May's mark is tied for 8th in NFL history at 91.3.
- 2:16:45Jaden Daniels actually did it last year, the same exact
- 2:16:47amount, 21 of 23 passing when the Commanders played against
- 2:16:51the Bengals last year. He's also the only quarterback
- 2:16:54this year to have two touchdowns, 2 touchdown passes
- 2:16:57in a game this season of over 50 air yards as well.
- 2:17:02No quarterback has done that. And finally to round it out,
- 2:17:04despite the Belichick and Brady dynasty, they have never won 3
- 2:17:09consecutive Rd. games in the three straight weeks.
- 2:17:12The Patriots has just done that this week, beating the Bills,
- 2:17:15beating the Saints, and now beating the Titans.
- 2:17:17OK, let me let me explain something to you.
- 2:17:20The Saints suck the Titans. Suck and the Bills can't stop
- 2:17:26the run. Stop this rubbish.
- 2:17:29If you look at the Patriots and what the Patriots have done with
- 2:17:32Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, it's a lot more amazing than
- 2:17:35Drake May and Mr. Vrabel. Stop selling me something that
- 2:17:39was never done when they're playing garbage compared to what
- 2:17:42the teams they had to be in those days, the Rex Ryan's, the
- 2:17:47Miami Dolphins that were pretty good at some points, you know,
- 2:17:50so I disagree with you, Speedy. Eat it and beat it.
- 2:17:57All right, so that is the stat of the week, which always leads
- 2:18:00into. The whip around.
- 2:18:06Whip, whip, whip around all. Right here it is this.
- 2:18:12Is your chance. Errol.
- 2:18:13We're going to start the whip around.
- 2:18:16With the 13 to 6 victory by the Panthers over The Jets,
- 2:18:22curiously, Chubba Hubbard started the game over Rico
- 2:18:26Dowdle. I guess coming back from injury
- 2:18:27didn't want to give away the starting spot that'll was
- 2:18:29clearly the more effective back. 79 yards rushing to 31 from
- 2:18:33Hubbard. Bryce Young got hurt in the
- 2:18:34game, didn't matter. Still enough to beat The Jets
- 2:18:38and Justin Fields with a second straight game under 50 yards
- 2:18:41passing. He gets benched for Tyrod Taylor
- 2:18:44who throws 2 interceptions. We had a 40 something percent
- 2:18:48completion percentage, no running game whatsoever.
- 2:18:51Breece Hall 38 yards and 11 carries.
- 2:18:53Leading receiver was Tyler Johnson.
- 2:18:56Mason Taylor had a few catches but nothing doing whatsoever for
- 2:19:01The Jets O and Seven Errol, where do we go from here?
- 2:19:06Fields is now benched. What?
- 2:19:08What are they doing? Well, it's pretty simple.
- 2:19:10Breece Hall. Is just weighing.
- 2:19:11Himself out of New York, he has not done enough this.
- 2:19:15Year I expected him to be an elite running back, top five.
- 2:19:18He's falling out of that. He he's up and down.
- 2:19:21He doesn't really play well against great defenses.
- 2:19:23Isn't and Justin Fields isn't the answer.
- 2:19:25It seems like he's not the answer.
- 2:19:27He's not going to be the answer. Everybody wants to point their
- 2:19:29fingers at Aaron Glenn. Aaron Glenn is not the guy.
- 2:19:33Do they look towards the offseason and bring it up?
- 2:19:35Mike McCarthy or a veteran coach that has been successful in the
- 2:19:40league, an offensive minded coach.
- 2:19:43They think The Jets are going to give this guy a chance at least
- 2:19:45another year or two to figure out the ups and downs of of this
- 2:19:49roster. This roster is not Aaron Glenn's
- 2:19:52roster. I didn't expect them to be O and
- 2:19:55seven, but I maybe one or two wins at best at this time.
- 2:19:58Right now, The Jets are a team that obviously doesn't have
- 2:20:02enough offensively and defensively have not played well
- 2:20:06front 7 has not played well besides Quinton Williams.
- 2:20:10You you lost your one of your best linebackers and.
- 2:20:13And his brother Williams has been out a significant amount of
- 2:20:16time, has not played. And, and you see what how
- 2:20:19important CJ Mosley was with what this defense was last year
- 2:20:23when he when they had him as a captain and guy running that
- 2:20:26defense. And by the way, Sherwood stinks.
- 2:20:29He is horrible. That contract that The Jets gave
- 2:20:31him in the offseason was an absolute outrage.
- 2:20:34You can see it's going to set The Jets back on that linebacker
- 2:20:37position. Where did The Jets go?
- 2:20:40Well, Jets got to wait until the offseason.
- 2:20:42Here's where they go. Fernando Mendoza.
- 2:20:46That's where The Jets need to go as far as I'm concerned.
- 2:20:49It's absolutely obnoxious, The Jets fans and what these
- 2:20:53analysts are saying about this organization.
- 2:20:55I know the organization stinks. We all know this organization
- 2:20:59has not made the playoffs in 15 years.
- 2:21:01The problem here is that there is not enough on the secondary
- 2:21:05and there's not enough wide receiving help.
- 2:21:07Garrett Wilson is the only decent or only great player on
- 2:21:11the offensive side of the ball and and it looks like Rich Hall
- 2:21:13is weighed out as welcomed with the New York Jets.
- 2:21:15That's all I'm going to say about The Jets.
- 2:21:17They suck. They're probably going to go for
- 2:21:19over until probably week 11, Week 12 when they play New
- 2:21:23Orleans. When are they playing New
- 2:21:24Orleans? I don't even know.
- 2:21:25Whenever they play New Orleans, that'll probably the only one
- 2:21:27they have or they bring home to New York.
- 2:21:30They're obnoxiously obnoxious. Sleep bad.
- 2:21:33That's all I'm going to say. Looks like week 14 for the SO
- 2:21:37week 14 will probably be their first win.
- 2:21:39They'll still be the number one pick.
- 2:21:41Yeah, The Jets defense last two. Weeks has definitely played
- 2:21:44better. The Broncos we, we talked about
- 2:21:46like, I mean, maybe. Their offense isn't as good as
- 2:21:48we thought it would be, but it's still a talented enough offense
- 2:21:50and The Jets held them to just 13 points and then the Panthers
- 2:21:52were hot offense coming in. Not an overly talented one.
- 2:21:55Good offensive line. Obviously Mcmillan's been a nice
- 2:21:58rookie so far this year and Bryce Young has played better
- 2:22:00the last few years. Obviously getting hurt did not
- 2:22:02help anything. Xavier Legecto getting involved
- 2:22:04too. For the Panthers offense, it's
- 2:22:05definitely good to see they need it.
- 2:22:06Real second guy Jimmy Horns actually developed into a nice
- 2:22:09player. And like I said, that offensive
- 2:22:10line is good. The Jets again finding their way
- 2:22:13on defense. Offensively still not there yet.
- 2:22:14Offensive line still holding their own to an extent, but
- 2:22:17again, they have two mobile quarterbacks to hold the ball
- 2:22:19too long. And Fields.
- 2:22:20I paid the price for it getting hurt, getting hit a bunch and
- 2:22:23now gets benched for it as a result.
- 2:22:26Yeah, it's the it's The Jets. We've we've covered them enough.
- 2:22:30I don't want to pour salt in the.
- 2:22:31Wound for Mr. Arrow Mark so. We'll just we'll just leave it
- 2:22:34at that. Don't worry, Jabba.
- 2:22:36They make they make you sore. But the salt, they leans out the
- 2:22:40wound. Yeah, there.
- 2:22:42There is, there is that they. Rex Ryan made him.
- 2:22:45Sore. I was going to ask.
- 2:22:46He liked Rex Ryan so much I wonder if he had a foot fetish
- 2:22:48just as well. Probably just.
- 2:22:51I mean, he kept all his cleats, so he probably has.
- 2:22:54I love it. I love that stuff.
- 2:22:56I. Did too.
- 2:22:56I mean like sweat stains still. Like I still got the dirt from
- 2:23:00the bottom of my cleats. I I still have, I put dirt in
- 2:23:03coasters from the field. So yeah, I'd love that.
- 2:23:06By the way, Alexander felt to me.
- 2:23:10Wow. So I got Alexander.
- 2:23:11Yeah, that's awesome. And I didn't pick them.
- 2:23:13And automatically picked them. That's great.
- 2:23:16Shy did. Shy.
- 2:23:18Yeah, I got shy. Alexander.
- 2:23:19Wait. At six.
- 2:23:20At six. You felt to me.
- 2:23:21Yeah. Who's in your?
- 2:23:23League who went ahead of who? Were the five guys that went
- 2:23:26ahead of them. Edwards went.
- 2:23:29Ahead of him, there was a couple of guys that went, that's crazy.
- 2:23:33I'm listen, I'm not. Complaining.
- 2:23:34What do I care? I'm fine.
- 2:23:36You're crazy, these guys. Know what they're doing, man.
- 2:23:39They know what they're doing. Oh yeah, they do.
- 2:23:41They took. That's not.
- 2:23:42They just. Passed up on the MP Trust.
- 2:23:44Me, trust me, these guys know what they're doing.
- 2:23:46I'm not lying. They know what they're doing, so
- 2:23:49I guess they're fading. Okay, they.
- 2:23:51Don't they don't. They're not looking.
- 2:23:53Let's talk about someone. I was fading offensive.
- 2:23:55Remember, this leak is a PPR league.
- 2:23:57You're looking. At rebounds, you're looking at
- 2:23:58everything so. That's the way they.
- 2:24:00Look at it. So anyways, yeah, whatever.
- 2:24:04I still disagree because that doesn't make a difference
- 2:24:07because I'm. Usually wrong like I.
- 2:24:08Am about the six and. One Colts who have the best
- 2:24:11record in the NFL 38 to 24, they defeat the Chargers.
- 2:24:16Some silly numbers in this game. Daniel Jones again, hyper
- 2:24:20efficient. 23 of 34288 yards, 2 touchdowns.
- 2:24:24Jonathan Taylor Been doing it all season long. 16 carries, 94
- 2:24:29yards, 3 touchdowns on the ground. 5.9 yards per carry.
- 2:24:35Tyler Warren with another touchdown.
- 2:24:36Michael Pittman Junior with another touchdown on the other
- 2:24:40side in kind of, you know, comeback mode, which is not
- 2:24:42going to be enough. Herbert goes 37 of 55 for 420
- 2:24:48yards. 3 touchdowns, 2 picks. They had no running game again.
- 2:24:52They lost both their running backs and they're going with
- 2:24:56Kimani Vidal. Only 9 carries, 20 yards, tight
- 2:24:59end. I guess he's a tight end.
- 2:25:01Speedy Arande Gadsden junior or the second. 7 catches, 164 yards
- 2:25:05and a touchdown. Out of nowhere.
- 2:25:07Probably going to be the number one guy added in fantasy waivers
- 2:25:10this week. Keenan Allen, 11 catches, 119
- 2:25:12yards, touchdown. Not enough.
- 2:25:15Couldn't get it done. A juggernaut in Indianapolis?
- 2:25:19Errol, No question. Danny Dimes could be an MVP
- 2:25:25candidate by the end of. The season, I love it.
- 2:25:28I love it. His quarterback rating is at 113
- 2:25:32right now, one of the best in the league. 288 yards, 2
- 2:25:36touching pass, 2 touchdown passes, and he has one of the
- 2:25:39best running backs. It's not the best running back
- 2:25:41right now in the league. And tell her it's sensational.
- 2:25:43It's fun to watch. Their fun team to watch.
- 2:25:45This is one of the more underrated defenses in the
- 2:25:48league, one of the best offensive lines, I think top
- 2:25:51three. This team is working on all
- 2:25:53cylinders. You can ask me right now.
- 2:25:55Right now, this is the best team in the AFC and this team could
- 2:25:59absolutely go to the Super Bowl this year.
- 2:26:02Who would have thought? Saquon Barkley wins the Super
- 2:26:04Bowl last year and this year Danny Dimes wins the Super Bowl
- 2:26:08with the Indianapolis Colts. Great story.
- 2:26:11Love it. Sit on it, fish.
- 2:26:15If they're going to win a super, what did I do that?
- 2:26:18What did I ever do to deserve that, though, Errol?
- 2:26:20It's not like. I'm a bad person.
- 2:26:23I I. Hope I help kids in need.
- 2:26:27Why did I ever do to deserve this kind of treatment?
- 2:26:32Do I have to get my popcorn ready again?
- 2:26:34You too? No, I got.
- 2:26:36Nothing. There's not.
- 2:26:37There's nothing. What am I supposed to say, you
- 2:26:40know? Yeah, You got a Colts team that
- 2:26:43has a top five player at quarterback, running back and
- 2:26:45tight end so far. This.
- 2:26:46Year and you. Can get away with that in
- 2:26:48today's NFL if you have good offensive coaching, even with
- 2:26:50the receivers, like still Pittman's a good receiver, but
- 2:26:53you're still like a lot of question marks after that.
- 2:26:55You can get away with that with top end coaching, as you've seen
- 2:26:57with the Chiefs, as you've seen obviously with the Rams over the
- 2:27:01years when McVeigh first started, even bringing Robert
- 2:27:03Woods, trying to rebirth him and all those guys.
- 2:27:06You can get away with that kind of thing.
- 2:27:07Patriots obviously, look at all the random receivers besides
- 2:27:10Edelman that they had. And the defense, like I was
- 2:27:12saying, is very well-rounded. This is a game they have.
- 2:27:14We're down to corners in this game and still play very well.
- 2:27:17Yeah, expensive. The garbage time stats.
- 2:27:19The garbage time stats for a reason.
- 2:27:20The Colts dominated this game. All right.
- 2:27:23I'm up, guys. I'm up guys.
- 2:27:25We got Trey Young, Donovan Mitchell now.
- 2:27:28I need rebounds. Thompson, Mobley, Ball, Brunson,
- 2:27:33Barnes, Giddy Brown. Who do I go with?
- 2:27:37I mean, Mobley of that group, you need a rebound.
- 2:27:39Yeah, you just mentioned Mobley and said Donovan.
- 2:27:42Mitchell, you don't think I should go with?
- 2:27:44Donovan Mitchell. Not for Reed.
- 2:27:45Not if you're going. You said rebounds.
- 2:27:47No, no, no. I'm just saying that it's my.
- 2:27:482nd pick Donovan Mitchell's sitting over there, do I do?
- 2:27:51I pick Donovan Mitchell, a lot of people.
- 2:27:53Like Mobley, you know, for being like a multi stat guy, but Trey
- 2:27:57Young is going to fill it up. All right, I took.
- 2:27:59Mobley All right, let's go. I would have picked between
- 2:28:02those two. Jabba, what do you got on this
- 2:28:04one before? I can mercifully move on, Danny
- 2:28:07Dimes. Of course.
- 2:28:08And then I mean, Herbert, yeah, his numbers look good, but a lot
- 2:28:11of those, a lot of those numbers came in late too.
- 2:28:14And I mean, it's yeah, he's coming forward and 20 yards.
- 2:28:18But yeah, I mean, they continue to go out and like everybody's
- 2:28:21kind of. Said that other than.
- 2:28:23Errol. Who must have like the BIFF
- 2:28:25sports Almanac said that they would be 6 and one many times
- 2:28:28would be an MVP. So hey, Passover some of that
- 2:28:31BIFF information Don that's that's still like one of the
- 2:28:35greatest plot devices in any movie.
- 2:28:37Like he goes back in time. And has the.
- 2:28:39Answers to all the betting. And he just becomes a
- 2:28:41billionaire. I should be a billionaire if I
- 2:28:45if I made that bet, I'd be pretty rich.
- 2:28:49Changes history. It's.
- 2:28:50AI mean back to future 2 is pretty good sequel people I
- 2:28:53think underrated. All right, let's get into.
- 2:28:55The Thursday game and the London game.
- 2:29:00The Jaguars how many times they play in London?
- 2:29:02Speedy like 7 this year so far. Like every game feels like I'm
- 2:29:06going to talk about that when we get to call your shot later
- 2:29:09tonight at the end of the show. Got a little theory about the
- 2:29:11Jaguars there, but the Bengals with Joltin Joe Flacco defeat of
- 2:29:18the Steelers on Thursday 33 to 31.
- 2:29:21You remember we did a little story arrow of Tomlin getting
- 2:29:24pretty pissed off that the Bengals were given Flacco.
- 2:29:27And there it is. Flacco with no like more less
- 2:29:31than a week of practice. 31 and 47342 and 3 touchdowns on the
- 2:29:37Steelers Out of control. Aaron Rodgers and the lost. 249
- 2:29:41yards. 4 touchdowns, 2 picks. Jalen Warren 127 yards rushing,
- 2:29:46another 31 receiving. Friarmouth had 111 yards and two
- 2:29:49touchdowns for the Steelers and the other one Jaguars no showed
- 2:29:54the game in London. The Rams far superior team.
- 2:29:57Jaguars seem to be a pretender. Rams 35, Jaguars 7 here.
- 2:30:01Here's the facts. The Bengals and the Steelers.
- 2:30:04What a pathetic game. And I I'll go back at it.
- 2:30:07Who? Cares if Joe Flacco was training
- 2:30:10in the same division. Nobody cares that the Bengals
- 2:30:13aren't going anywhere unless Joe Burrow comes back.
- 2:30:16It was a great game. It was a great win for the the
- 2:30:19Bengals against the Steelers team.
- 2:30:20That's not very good defensively, and if they're not
- 2:30:22very good defensively, they're not going anywhere.
- 2:30:25Aaron Rodgers is playing a little bit better than he did
- 2:30:27with The Jets. This is not the same Aaron
- 2:30:30Rodgers with the Green Packers, so bite on it all right.
- 2:30:33As far as the Rams in the Jaguars, I I got a I got a text
- 2:30:38a picture of what this gremlin did in the game where he had 100
- 2:30:43yards and it was at crappy it. Was in the crappy.
- 2:30:46Fourth quarter, if you look at his numbers going to the fourth
- 2:30:48quarter, he had like 45 yards for five catches.
- 2:30:53Then all of a sudden in the fourth quarter when nobody was
- 2:30:56giving a crap, including the Rams defense, this guy finally
- 2:30:59gets his first touchdown and he has 100 yards.
- 2:31:02This guy is not good. Keith, you're not selling me
- 2:31:05something that is just absolute bogusness.
- 2:31:08Stop selling something that's not good.
- 2:31:11He stinks, he stinks, that's it. He got lucky.
- 2:31:16The Rams gave that touchdown up to that loser.
- 2:31:21That's all I'm going to say. Good offensive.
- 2:31:23Good offensive coaches know how to elevate teams, especially
- 2:31:25when you don't have your number one wide receiver.
- 2:31:27We've seen that do with the. Chiefs doing that all year when
- 2:31:30Rice was suspended and obviously Worthy was hurt a lot of the
- 2:31:32year. The Rams did this now with Kuka
- 2:31:33Nakua, who was probably the best receiver in football for the
- 2:31:36first six weeks. He got hurt at the in the third
- 2:31:39quarter I think last week and they their offense scores 35
- 2:31:42points. They mix it up with the running
- 2:31:43back. They spread the they spread the
- 2:31:44ball around very nicely against the Jaguars defense that was
- 2:31:46coming in actually very good. They were one of the top 10 past
- 2:31:50defenses in the league. They were really good at getting
- 2:31:52pressure on the quarterback and the Rams held their own.
- 2:31:54Their defense has been great all year.
- 2:31:55If their offense could play like this, they're right there with
- 2:31:57the Bucks and the Eagles up there at the top of the NFC.
- 2:31:59As far as the Bengals and Steelers, I agree with they're
- 2:32:01all like the Steelers. I don't trust the playoff team
- 2:32:03right now whatsoever. I would probably trust the
- 2:32:05Patriots to get in the playoffs more than Steelers.
- 2:32:07And believe it or not, I would trust the Chargers more even
- 2:32:09with all the injuries that they've had.
- 2:32:10The just a matter of how quick Burrow can come back.
- 2:32:13But if he can come back quick, they play The Jets next week.
- 2:32:15Maybe they're right there. We'll see.
- 2:32:16Yeah. I think that the Bengals, it's
- 2:32:18just, I mean, Burrow is their offense kind of too.
- 2:32:21So when he goes, they. Go so if he does get back, I
- 2:32:25think that you can probably make a little run here.
- 2:32:27But yeah, Rams, the Rams are interesting because you always
- 2:32:31have that like next guy up mentality and they've kind of
- 2:32:34shown that throughout this year. And then of course the gremlin
- 2:32:38the the one time the the wheel of of.
- 2:32:40The. Quarter, doesn't I?
- 2:32:41I pick Travis Hunter, just maybe he'll go off and save your
- 2:32:44tears, but he never, never does anything.
- 2:32:46I got one for you guys ready. Paul Barnes, Giddy Williams.
- 2:32:51Who's hurt right now, Murray? Jackson, Junior, White, Wagner,
- 2:32:56Murphy. Who do you go with?
- 2:32:58I like Barnes or Wagner. They're both good.
- 2:33:00Wagner is injury prone though. I mean, Barnes, I guess is a
- 2:33:03little Jackson. Junior wouldn't go with Jackson
- 2:33:05Junior. I mean, you just took the you
- 2:33:08just took the center, though in Mobley.
- 2:33:10You. Shouldn't go double up?
- 2:33:11Should I go? Ball probably should take a.
- 2:33:13Ball, you probably should go either.
- 2:33:15Scotty Barnes, like Lamello Balls, got a he's.
- 2:33:18He's like a super wild. Card he's like a he's waiting to
- 2:33:21explode, but he could also play only 25 games.
- 2:33:25You know what I mean like the biggest variance I'm going to go
- 2:33:27with balls super risk. I'm going to take your I'm going
- 2:33:30to take your advice on this baby.
- 2:33:31I'm going to take it and hopefully I'll sync.
- 2:33:34It all right, all right, Jobby you got anything else on this
- 2:33:39one? No, no.
- 2:33:41I'm. Good.
- 2:33:42All right, let's move on. We're picking this.
- 2:33:44Team together, guys, We're picking it.
- 2:33:46Together. So you just, is it just a
- 2:33:49starting five? No.
- 2:33:51Nothing crazy. It's a whole team.
- 2:33:52It's a whole team. Yeah, all.
- 2:33:54Right, so let's go to one of your favorite quarterbacks in
- 2:33:56the NFL. Errol and well, I mean.
- 2:33:59Caleb Williams. But I was really talking about
- 2:34:01Spencer Rattler. 20 of 32, 233, two touchdowns, 3 interceptions.
- 2:34:07They were not very good. He also lost a fumble, 4
- 2:34:11turnovers he was responsible for.
- 2:34:13Olave had a good game, 98 yards, 2 touchdowns.
- 2:34:16The Bears didn't really need to throw all that much.
- 2:34:18It was mostly done on the ground.
- 2:34:19DeAndre Swift has woken up last couple of weeks. 124 yards and a
- 2:34:23touchdown. Kyle Manon guys, is a name that
- 2:34:26we're going to have to Start learning.
- 2:34:28That's weird spelling. 1 arrow, 13 carries, 81 yards.
- 2:34:32The backup running back and on the other game, the Browns I.
- 2:34:38Mean I guess. Mike McDaniel still has his job.
- 2:34:40I was half expecting to have to do a story on that today.
- 2:34:43Yeah, they got absolutely obliterated to.
- 2:34:45It looks like he's not an NFL quarterback anymore the way
- 2:34:48they're playing 12 of 23100 yards and three picks.
- 2:34:52They brought Quinn Ewers into this game, not Zach Wilson.
- 2:34:56He was demoted to third string for Quinn.
- 2:34:58Yours tell you how Zach's doing over there.
- 2:35:00Zach attack Dylan Gabriel, not much doing in the in the air.
- 2:35:03Didn't need to Quinn. Sean Judkins, the running back
- 2:35:07from Ohio State who had the great championship game, 25
- 2:35:10carries, 84 yards, 3 touchdowns on the ground and that was
- 2:35:15pretty much it for those two games.
- 2:35:18Boys, what do you got? Well, it's pretty simple.
- 2:35:23The Bears Swift is, you know, the last two weeks has been
- 2:35:26unbelievable. They've been running the ball.
- 2:35:27Manang guy looks like he's a player that is going to be a big
- 2:35:31part of this offense for the very near future.
- 2:35:34This team has a tremendous amount of offense.
- 2:35:37Look at more a doomsday. Loveland is actually catching
- 2:35:40the ball now. They're spreading this offense
- 2:35:42out very, very well. I think this Bears team is just
- 2:35:45fun, fun, fun, fun to watch. And here's another thing, as far
- 2:35:49as I'm concerned with the Saints, what is going on with
- 2:35:52Alvin Kamara? Is he going to be a guy that
- 2:35:55they trade at the trade deadline?
- 2:35:57I would hope so. Alba Kamara is having one of his
- 2:36:00worst years. He hasn't really been the same
- 2:36:02player. They can't though.
- 2:36:03Errol, their backup got hurt in this game, Kendra Miller, but
- 2:36:07they were depending on you're. Right.
- 2:36:08You know how old Calvin Alvin Kamara is?
- 2:36:11I think he's, I think he might be my age.
- 2:36:13I think it's like that. He's been around for a very long
- 2:36:17time. I don't know.
- 2:36:20I no, that's. Fine, I, I.
- 2:36:21I don't know what Caleb Williams was on.
- 2:36:25Sunday, but I think. He'll be.
- 2:36:26Better remember, he's still learning an offense.
- 2:36:28It's it's, it's not the same offense that Matt Everfluce was
- 2:36:32running. So it's going to be a completely
- 2:36:33different offense all the way through to the end of the
- 2:36:36season. I think Kayla Williams is
- 2:36:38special and we're going to see that as he grows in as a
- 2:36:40quarterback in the NFL. As far as the Browns and the
- 2:36:43Dolphins, the Browns are so much better.
- 2:36:45Has anybody looked at Miles Garrett's body?
- 2:36:47Dude, it's a joke, dude. That guy is like he should be
- 2:36:53Conan the Barbarian, honestly. He is like.
- 2:36:56Built like it. It's like I, I'm I'm I'm just
- 2:37:01being honest. The guy has got some fuzzy man.
- 2:37:04He he looks unbelievable. He looks like a Greek God, The
- 2:37:07dolphin stick McDaniel. I we all know the situation for
- 2:37:12what it is. The Browns, hey, maybe the
- 2:37:14Browns sneak into the playoffs. That is that divisions up and
- 2:37:17down. We don't know what the the
- 2:37:19Ravens are going to be. The defense stinks.
- 2:37:21Lamar Jackson, when is he coming back?
- 2:37:23I I hey, the Browns can make a move and maybe, you know, Shudor
- 2:37:30Sanders shows up and wins, wins, wins.
- 2:37:35Yeah, I was going to bring that up.
- 2:37:36I would say besides the quarterbacks, the Browns rookie
- 2:37:39class this year has been tremendous.
- 2:37:41Mason Graham and Carson Schweitzinger on on the as a
- 2:37:44linebacker position and then junkins who you mentioned fish
- 2:37:47really good rookie running back probably might be the best
- 2:37:49rookie running back right now performance wise even though he
- 2:37:51missed the first couple games but per game he looks really
- 2:37:53good and Harold fan in a tight end looks really good as well
- 2:37:56taking over for Najoku in this game.
- 2:37:57This Browns rookie class is really good.
- 2:37:59Miami yeah they're a lost cause. I would, if I were them, I would
- 2:38:02shut 2 down the rest of the year.
- 2:38:03See what you have in Quinn viewers, because again, Tua,
- 2:38:05you're stuck with that contract. You're not going to be able to
- 2:38:07trade it with all the concussion problems.
- 2:38:09You see what you've gotten you or maybe you got something with
- 2:38:10a better backup. And the Bears, they did what
- 2:38:12they had to do, play good defense.
- 2:38:14Caleb blooms in his best game. But like Errol saying Swift's
- 2:38:16coming on, that's a good, really good sign for a well-rounded
- 2:38:19offense. Yeah, the Saints are awful and I
- 2:38:23think Caleb is just going to keep getting better.
- 2:38:26I like these. Young kids, you know, stepping
- 2:38:29up and playing and doing well. The Dolphins are.
- 2:38:33Just a dumpster fire. So like you said, fish.
- 2:38:36I thought there would be something going on there, but I
- 2:38:39think it's just a ticking time bomb for that one to go.
- 2:38:41But yeah, these young kids stepping up has been fun.
- 2:38:44And I still want to see Spencer Rattler go off so Errol can go
- 2:38:48nuts. Oh, we got.
- 2:38:52Some I got something. For Errol to go nuts about here,
- 2:38:55we got 2 good teams. That scored 31 points and one.
- 2:38:593113 Patriots all over the Titans it was close early, but
- 2:39:03they pulled away got. Some stats here from the.
- 2:39:05Game for you, Drake. May 21 of 23222 yards, 2
- 2:39:12touchdowns. Ridiculous efficiency. 8
- 2:39:14carries, 62 yards on the ground for May from Andre Stevenson.
- 2:39:18Got it going on 18 carries, 88 yards and a touchdown.
- 2:39:21Looks like there is no more committee.
- 2:39:23All right, guys, I'm up again. Do I go?
- 2:39:26John Morant? He's still available at 50,
- 2:39:30should I go? John Moran or should I go big or
- 2:39:33all right or There's a lot of guys.
- 2:39:34I have Turner available. Duran Ayton.
- 2:39:38Randall. Julius Randall, who's always
- 2:39:40good. I would say that's probably the
- 2:39:42best pack right now. Julius Randall Hartstein still
- 2:39:46available to go bare. So I would go Randall.
- 2:39:50I think so too. I'm going to go Randall.
- 2:39:53You don't know what's going to happen with John Moran.
- 2:39:56The other. Game Errol's the one that I
- 2:39:57thought was going to make you a little upset.
- 2:39:59The Chiefs 30. One the Raiders nothing.
- 2:40:02Geno Smith 10 for 1667 yards. They brought in Kenny Pickett in
- 2:40:07this game. I forgot he was there.
- 2:40:09Patrick Mahomes 26 of 35286 yards, 3 touchdowns.
- 2:40:14Pacheco got a touchdown on the ground.
- 2:40:16Rashi Rice in his return to 7 catches, 42 yards and two
- 2:40:21touchdowns. They spread the ball around.
- 2:40:22They did the Chiefs thing the way they usually do it.
- 2:40:25They destroyed the Raiders and Errol.
- 2:40:27Get this, The league betting odd favorite for MVP right now is
- 2:40:36Patrick Mahomes at -140 All right, let's go to the Patriots
- 2:40:41right now. I I know everybody has this like
- 2:40:44love fetish for Drake May. He looks really, really good.
- 2:40:47There's no question that he does top five.
- 2:40:50Mikey sees on drops. He's not stop selling that.
- 2:40:53It's not happening. But I would say he's a top ten
- 2:40:56quarterback right now. I would put him at 9 or 10 right
- 2:40:59now. He's having he's having a good
- 2:41:00year. The AFC is weak, so can the
- 2:41:03Patriots win the AFC East? Absolutely.
- 2:41:06If the Buffalo Bills can't stop the run, they're going to have
- 2:41:08problems winning that division. They're a wild card team at best
- 2:41:11right now. But the way Buffalo's playing
- 2:41:13defense, they got to change. But I I think that the Patriots
- 2:41:17are playing crappy teams and they're beating the like they're
- 2:41:20supposed to beating the crappy teams.
- 2:41:22I am very impressed with Rashad Stevenson.
- 2:41:25I I think he's starting to get his feet under him.
- 2:41:28You're seeing why he's so important.
- 2:41:29By the way, Stefan Diggs again this week, having a big week, 69
- 2:41:33yards. He's doing what he's supposed to
- 2:41:35do. No touchdowns, 7 targets.
- 2:41:38Drake May is throwing him to him more so not surprised as far as
- 2:41:41the Chiefs are concerned. Guys, stop the Chiefs.
- 2:41:44Yes, Rice is back. Patrick Mahomes good for that.
- 2:41:47Patrick Mahomes is not the MVP right now.
- 2:41:50It's he's not. I would go Dak Prescott, who's
- 2:41:52your MVP right now? Right now, Dak Prescott.
- 2:41:55Dak Prescott having a sensational year right now.
- 2:41:58If you look at Dak. Prescott numbers right now.
- 2:42:00With a bad This is a bad defense and a bad Cowboys team.
- 2:42:05He's scoring 30 and their defense is giving up thirty.
- 2:42:09I'm sorry, let me give you the odds.
- 2:42:11Where? Everyone is, including your
- 2:42:12beloved Dak Prescott. I was wrong.
- 2:42:14It's plus one. 50 for Mahomes. Mayfield is at plus 320, Josh
- 2:42:19Allen plus 400, Drake May 4th at plus 950, Stafford at +1000,
- 2:42:27Goff at +2000, Daniel Jones at 2200, Jordan Love for some
- 2:42:33reason at 2800. And then Dak.
- 2:42:37I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you why,
- 2:42:38because Dak right now is in a division that is run by the
- 2:42:41Eagles. If Dak gets.
- 2:42:43If he gets his team in the playoffs, you're going to see
- 2:42:45him being considered up there with all the all the other
- 2:42:49quarterbacks. Right now, it's still very
- 2:42:51early. I don't care what the numbers
- 2:42:53are telling you right now with Vegas, that's going to change
- 2:42:56week by week. And Dak Prescott's proven
- 2:42:59himself to be in the elite, the top five quarterbacks in the
- 2:43:03league. That's good money if you want,
- 2:43:04if you really believe in it. That's 30 to 1 on your money.
- 2:43:07I don't bet on, I don't bet on sports, but.
- 2:43:09I, I If you're a betting man, I would bet some shekels on it.
- 2:43:12What would be funny? Is if you could convince the
- 2:43:14beef to somehow bet on it because he always wins.
- 2:43:17I mean, right now, Dak Yard Dak. Prescott's thrown more yards
- 2:43:21than any quarterback in the league he's thrown how many?
- 2:43:23Interceptions this year? Not many so I and I mean this
- 2:43:28offensive line, is it good? It's OK.
- 2:43:31Their defense is amongst the league's worst and he's putting
- 2:43:35up the numbers that he's putting up.
- 2:43:36It's pretty impressive and by the way, CD Lamb has been out
- 2:43:39three weeks and he's still putting up the numbers he's
- 2:43:42putting up. It's impressive and Daniel Jones
- 2:43:44too. I, I will put both of them.
- 2:43:46Patrick Mahomes is a popular player.
- 2:43:48Allen is a popular player. Of course they're going to put
- 2:43:51Baker Mayfield is a popular player.
- 2:43:53That's the only reason why they're up on the board right
- 2:43:55now. That's going to change by the
- 2:43:56the end of the season if Dak can get this team in the playoffs.
- 2:43:59The theme is really quarterbacks that have elevated them without
- 2:44:01their top guys there. Dak has definitely done that
- 2:44:03with CD Lamb and elevating a new guy who was a head.
- 2:44:05Case and George Pickens to having some great wide receiving
- 2:44:08numbers this year. Jake Ferguson's been a top three
- 2:44:10tight end so far this year because of the way Dak
- 2:44:12Prescott's played. And you can say the same thing
- 2:44:14with Baker with all the injuries that the Bucks have had too.
- 2:44:16So they would definitely be my top 2.
- 2:44:17Mahomes has definitely done a really good job.
- 2:44:19The Chiefs also have a really good offensive line and still
- 2:44:21have a defense that probably besides the fourth quarter
- 2:44:24against the Jaguars in the first half against the Chargers has
- 2:44:26played really well well and then they played really well in this
- 2:44:28game. The Patriots oven shine some
- 2:44:29light on somebody else too. That's played really well only
- 2:44:32allowing one sack since week one.
- 2:44:33That's will Campbell, their 4th overall pick has played very
- 2:44:36well in pass protection so far, getting a lot better in run
- 2:44:38protection as well and that defense is finding their group.
- 2:44:40So under Brabel and you're muted job.
- 2:44:49I said you guys kind of touched on this all, so let's get this
- 2:44:52painter. Going.
- 2:44:54All right, let's move on. To the Eagles, Errol's second
- 2:44:58favorite team, that's. Wearing.
- 2:45:01A Saquon Barclay jersey of 2822 over the Vikings break game by
- 2:45:07Jalen Hurts. They try to take away the run.
- 2:45:09Saquon did nothing, 18 for 44. He's having a real tough season
- 2:45:13because they're just trying to take him away completely now
- 2:45:15because of what he did last year.
- 2:45:17Jalen Hurts though came through 19 of 23326, 3 touchdowns, 2 to
- 2:45:23A.J. Brown who had four catches in
- 2:45:25100 and 21121 yards. Devonta Smith 9 catches, 183
- 2:45:31yards and a touchdown, including a 79 yard touchdown.
- 2:45:35Pretty big day for the twosome over there.
- 2:45:37Carson Wentz loves throwing picks.
- 2:45:40You knew he wasn't going to beat the Eagles.
- 2:45:42Jordan Mason had a touchdown on the ground.
- 2:45:43Jordan Addison had a good game in the air. 9 catches under 28
- 2:45:46yards in that one. Wentz of course lost, didn't
- 2:45:50lose a fumble but tried to. That's that's kind of how that
- 2:45:53those games go. And then Jayden Daniels got hurt
- 2:45:56in this Cowboys commanders game. They said that he avoided major
- 2:46:00injury. So he is going to be week to
- 2:46:02week with a slight hamstring pull but didn't help soon as he
- 2:46:06went down. Marcus Mariota fires up a pick
- 2:46:09six game was out of reach immediately, 44 and 22.
- 2:46:12I'm up again. Here we go.
- 2:46:14I got White as much, he's available.
- 2:46:17Murphy, Reeves. Fox, Butler, Daniels, Turner,
- 2:46:23DeRozan, Garland. Who do you go?
- 2:46:25Where do we go? I would probably go.
- 2:46:27Fox. well-rounded point guard. He's injured right now.
- 2:46:30Oh, he is. Oh, I didn't know that.
- 2:46:31OK, Nevermind Garland. Then but like how injured is
- 2:46:34Fox? What do you mean is?
- 2:46:35Injured Let. Me See, he's just coming back
- 2:46:38from the. Thing last hamstring
- 2:46:41participated in a shoot around. So let's go with the Olympics.
- 2:46:44I'm gonna go with the Do you realize how stacked they're
- 2:46:46gonna be? How stupid.
- 2:46:47That team's gonna be. I'm going to go with D Aaron
- 2:46:50Fox. That was part of.
- 2:46:51Errol's bet with the guy he made at Applebee's that the Spurs are
- 2:46:54going to be. A top five Listen, Nuggets
- 2:46:56aren't going to be I'm putting. His team together, man, I like
- 2:46:59my team this year I'm I'm going to tell Justin you're not going
- 2:47:02to cheat this year you little. Bitch, Sorry.
- 2:47:05All right, Errol, you got these two games to talk about.
- 2:47:07I'm sorry. I, I, I'm sorry I'm hurting your
- 2:47:09feelings, guys, let's. Let's let's be honest here, all
- 2:47:14right? The Vikings, I'm trying to pull
- 2:47:17up this game right here. I'm trying to pull up the
- 2:47:19numbers. What's going on over here?
- 2:47:22All right, there it is. Here.
- 2:47:24It's pretty simple. The Eagles are right now getting
- 2:47:28their feet under them. You see the offense, you see
- 2:47:30what they're capable of doing. Saquon has not even taken off
- 2:47:33yet. Devante Smith and Brown are
- 2:47:36taking off 300 yards from those two guys.
- 2:47:41If they do that and this defense could just hold it together and
- 2:47:46keep teams under 20, this team's going to be hard to beat.
- 2:47:49Who's going to beat this team? This is the best team in
- 2:47:52football. You can argue all you want.
- 2:47:54This is as good A-Team as any team in football when healthy,
- 2:47:59their their safeties and their corners need to stay healthy.
- 2:48:02But I think the get goals are absolutely as good as anybody in
- 2:48:05the NFC. They're the best team all around
- 2:48:07in all of the NFL. Cowboys, commanders.
- 2:48:10The question is dating Daniels, how hurt is he?
- 2:48:13How long is he going to be out? This is his second injury in
- 2:48:16five weeks. That scares me.
- 2:48:18Sophomore year, took his team to the NFC title, title game last
- 2:48:22year against the Eagles. Lost in a big game against the
- 2:48:25Eagles, but everybody thought this was going to be a big year
- 2:48:27for him. The Cowboys are for real.
- 2:48:29This offense is for real. They're going to put up the
- 2:48:31numbers. This was a a statement game for
- 2:48:34the Dallas Cowboys. It tells you that the Cowboys
- 2:48:36are not going away. They're going to compete all the
- 2:48:39way to the end. That tells me a lot about DAC
- 2:48:42Prescott. It tells me a lot about this
- 2:48:43team. And now it's CD Lamb and George
- 2:48:46Pickets. Watch out, buddy, buddy buddies.
- 2:48:50This team could be as explosive as any team in football.
- 2:48:54Sell it, beat it, put it up. I think that these, both these
- 2:48:58teams, the Cowboys and the Eagles, make the playoffs.
- 2:49:00Since Dan Quinn has gone to Dallas, we've seen Brian
- 2:49:02Schottenheimer head to head, kind of head the upper edge.
- 2:49:05Washington won the first game last year, but Dallas was still.
- 2:49:07Able to move the ball offensively.
- 2:49:08That one over like a fart. They beat the cowboy, they beat
- 2:49:10the commanders on that crazy ending of that game the second
- 2:49:13time they played, and then this. One was just absolute.
- 2:49:15Domination. You can see the difference when
- 2:49:17you have a better second receiver on the other side of CD
- 2:49:20Lamb, how much of a difference it can make when Pickens really
- 2:49:22his head is on straight and Dallas's offensive line, you
- 2:49:25mentioned it's not it's not amazing, but it's definitely
- 2:49:27played above average for for for offensive line standards this
- 2:49:30year. And this was probably a good
- 2:49:31statement for the Dallas defense they need and this is probably
- 2:49:33get some confidence in a younger team.
- 2:49:34I was mentioning it's probably going to be one of the worst in
- 2:49:36the league at the beginning of the year.
- 2:49:37But they're a young team. They're going to get better over
- 2:49:39time. So and if he's going to be
- 2:49:40tough, it'll be tough for them to make the playoffs, but
- 2:49:42they're going to be right there. I agree with you.
- 2:49:44The Eagles, if they can get, they got what they need with the
- 2:49:46outside pass attack going. I mentioned with the Rams, once
- 2:49:48their offense starts to wake up, they're going to be one of the
- 2:49:50most well-rounded teams. So of the Eagles.
- 2:49:51And this was a big flaw for them all year, especially with A.J.
- 2:49:54Brown and he's gotten it going now.
- 2:49:55Einhorn is a man. Great movie.
- 2:50:02No, I think. I think the Cowboys.
- 2:50:04Is I mean, their offense is great deck, obviously, you know,
- 2:50:07playing. Like an MVP.
- 2:50:08I'm just their defense scares me a little bit to be able to see
- 2:50:11if they can, you know, stop you from scoring.
- 2:50:13I think they did do a better job like Speedy said, but that
- 2:50:16that'll be the the tell tale for them if they can.
- 2:50:18Obviously they're not going to have a problem putting points on
- 2:50:21the board, but it's it's going to be a problem if they can not
- 2:50:24stop the other team putting points on the board too.
- 2:50:27The Eagles, it's just that they were they were bound to have
- 2:50:30some bumps in the road and, you know, getting older, doing
- 2:50:31whatever. But the same time it's they know
- 2:50:34how to win. They're going to be able to put
- 2:50:36it together. And you know, the Vikings, you
- 2:50:38know, getting Addison and those guys, but you know, just a
- 2:50:42little short on on the Eagles this week.
- 2:50:45All right, last set of games, guys, Packers 27, Cardinals 23
- 2:50:50and the. 49ers 20. Finkle is on horn first thing
- 2:50:56again. Another Jacobi percent game
- 2:50:58where the Cardinals look. Confident as opposed to when
- 2:51:00Kyler Murray is. Their starting quarterback.
- 2:51:02Percent 25 for 36279. Two touchdowns.
- 2:51:06Again, they've lost their running backs.
- 2:51:08Not much going on the ground. Bam night, 57 yards.
- 2:51:11Trey McBride had two touchdowns on 10 catches and 74 yards in
- 2:51:15that one for the Cardinals in the losing effort.
- 2:51:17Jordan Love, not a big great game for him. 19 of 29179 and a
- 2:51:22touchdown, 22 yards on the ground.
- 2:51:24Josh Jacobs, another two rushing touchdowns.
- 2:51:26Tucker craft one through the air.
- 2:51:28It was enough for the Packers to win.
- 2:51:31Kind of an ugly game. And then Errol, despite your
- 2:51:35best wishes, the 49ers will not go away.
- 2:51:38They are five and two with the back attack at quarterback.
- 2:51:43But it was not Mac Jones. He didn't have a particularly
- 2:51:46great game. It was a vintage effort from
- 2:51:48Christian McCaffrey. 201 total yards, 129 on the ground, 2
- 2:51:53touchdowns, 7 catches, 72 yards. I remember Errol in our fantasy
- 2:52:00draft getting a lot of crap when I took Christian McCaffrey at #5
- 2:52:06and guess what? He is currently the number one
- 2:52:09running back in fantasy football.
- 2:52:11That's all right. I'm number one in our league, so
- 2:52:13it doesn't matter. I'm right there.
- 2:52:17I'm. Just watch your back.
- 2:52:20I'm coming for you. I think you.
- 2:52:22Lost this week by the way. So no, I killed whoever I had.
- 2:52:26I think I lost this week. I played the Bears, I have
- 2:52:29McCaffrey. I wasn't losing this.
- 2:52:30Week. Shut your mouth all.
- 2:52:34Right, it's pretty. Simple.
- 2:52:36I, I there's a. Lot to a lot to swim.
- 2:52:39On this. The Packers, I don't know what
- 2:52:43Packers are going to show off. I don't know what team is going
- 2:52:45to show up week by week. That's what scares me.
- 2:52:48This. Defense could be for real.
- 2:52:50They're up and down and Jordan Love, who I thought was going to
- 2:52:53have such a such a great year. He's been up and down ever since
- 2:52:56Reed went down in week one. They just Jayden Reed has been a
- 2:53:00has really been an important piece to this offense and since
- 2:53:03he's gone down, this offense has not been as good as I thought we
- 2:53:06thought it was going to be. So I, I, I want to see more from
- 2:53:09this defense. As far as the 49ers are
- 2:53:12concerned, they played a Falcons.
- 2:53:13I was a pretty, pretty nice win by the 49ers.
- 2:53:17That was probably their biggest win over the last couple weeks
- 2:53:19and one of the harder teams they've played this week.
- 2:53:22Christian McCaffrey is a beast. I don't think I could argue that
- 2:53:25from anybody. I, I, he's special.
- 2:53:28And you know, he likes to show off his son in a lot of the
- 2:53:31videos in the TikTok, so he looks like he's a happy dad.
- 2:53:35Congratulations to the 49ers, even though Kyle Shanahan's
- 2:53:38going to screw this one up like he always does.
- 2:53:40Well, if we can't, we can't discount this game without
- 2:53:42giving credit to New York Jets legend Bambi and the defensive
- 2:53:46game. Plan he had in this game.
- 2:53:48No Fred Warner. They lost Nick Bose, obviously
- 2:53:50earlier this year, and a couple other pass rushers rotated in.
- 2:53:53Mike L Williams played really well as a rookie pass rusher.
- 2:53:56What do you got? All right, guys, here we go.
- 2:53:59We got the Portland Trail Blazers, Avija.
- 2:54:04That kid Daniels, DeRozan, Garland.
- 2:54:09White Pool, Nembhard, Hornstein, Obi and Anobi ogm so I I hate
- 2:54:20this guy but without Halliburton I think Nemhart is going to be a
- 2:54:24really big year. So do I don't know if he's the
- 2:54:26right guy to go. How about Garland?
- 2:54:27How about Garland? I like Garland.
- 2:54:29I like Garland. Or Hartenstein is my other
- 2:54:31option. Hartstein, you know he's going.
- 2:54:33To give you everything and you need.
- 2:54:34Rebounding and stuff like that, you need bigs because bigs are
- 2:54:37there's just a lot of there's just.
- 2:54:39A lot of situations where only plays 20 minutes a game.
- 2:54:41I don't know if I would go with him at this point with those.
- 2:54:44Guys, so who do I go with? I would go with Garland.
- 2:54:47Otherwise, I don't know about that.
- 2:54:50I went with Garland. All right, better help for the.
- 2:54:54Best with that guy finishing. Up what I was saying with the
- 2:54:56Niners. Defense a lot of young.
- 2:54:57Guys in the secondary too. I think really proving a.
- 2:55:00Lot against Drake. London and be Shawn Robinson.
- 2:55:02Holding their own. Both of them did not have great
- 2:55:03games in this one. 49ers just good counter game plans and
- 2:55:06Packers I agree with that kind of ugly win.
- 2:55:08Arizona just kind of fell apart at the end of the game.
- 2:55:10They were out coaching and out playing Green Bay.
- 2:55:12Most of them. Yeah, well, they said sorry.
- 2:55:17George Springer just hit a three run Homer to.
- 2:55:19Go up 4:00 to 3:00. So I kind of blacked out.
- 2:55:23Yeah, the tables have turned. Just sucks that.
- 2:55:28It sucks that Owen is. Going to.
- 2:55:30Just have keep on going. With this Kyle Shanahan, Mac
- 2:55:33Jones, Mac Attack Parade and that has been our Week 7
- 2:55:37coverage of the NFL here on the Whip Around.
- 2:55:41I love Owen and I talked to Owen off air and I'm definitely going
- 2:55:45to get him back on because I miss.
- 2:55:47The crazy SOP I really do. I miss him.
- 2:55:50He he is got some freaking personality, man.
- 2:55:54You can't, you can't hate on Owen.
- 2:55:56You really can't speaking and hating on somebody.
- 2:55:59Florida fires Billy Napier Yes, finally they made the move.
- 2:56:05ESPN reported on Sunday that Florida has fired head coach
- 2:56:09Billy Napier after 3 1/2 seasons with the team after the team
- 2:56:13beat Mississippi State 23 to 21. Fire Billy Chants were heard
- 2:56:19throughout the game, with the coach and team both getting
- 2:56:22booed at the halftime even with the Gators leading 13 to 7.
- 2:56:27Florida owes Napier $21 million and it has to be paid within the
- 2:56:34next 30 days, according to the terms of Napier's contract.
- 2:56:38This is the second time over the last eight years that Florida
- 2:56:42will be paying and buyout money to three head coaches at once,
- 2:56:48as they are also still paying Dan Mullen and Will Mushchamp a
- 2:56:55Napier finished his Gators career 22 to 23 record and a 12
- 2:57:01and 16 versus SEC opponents. He was also 5 and 17 against
- 2:57:07ranked opponents and 3 and 12 against Florida's biggest
- 2:57:12rivals. Florida State, Miami, Georgia,
- 2:57:14LSU and Tennessee. The current betting favorites to
- 2:57:18get the top job at Florida is led by Old Miss head coach
- 2:57:24Elaine Kiffin, with Louisville head coach Jeff Brom Brom second
- 2:57:30and recently fired James Franklin 3rd.
- 2:57:34I'm going James Franklin, I'm going James Franklin.
- 2:57:37You know, everybody knows how much I love James Franklin, and
- 2:57:40I think he needs, needs to go to an SEC team.
- 2:57:42I want to see him go to a big school and have a chance to win.
- 2:57:46I I think he's a great recruiter.
- 2:57:47Everybody knows what I feel about this guy.
- 2:57:49Now. Did he fail with Penn State?
- 2:57:51Yeah, he failed with Penn State last year.
- 2:57:54A year ago to this day, he was one game away from a national
- 2:57:58championship. Florida.
- 2:58:00When was the last time Florida went to a national championship?
- 2:58:03When Tebow was there? OK, so to me it it's a no
- 2:58:08brainer. Lane Kiffin, you want.
- 2:58:10Lane Kiffin there. You want Big Mouth Lane there
- 2:58:13causing trouble. I he's a great recruiter.
- 2:58:16I'm not going to take any shots about about what Lane Kiffin is
- 2:58:19on and off a football field. We know what he is off the field
- 2:58:22on the football field. This is a great football mind.
- 2:58:24We know about his father and his grandfather.
- 2:58:27He's got a great historic background when it comes to
- 2:58:29coaching. Lane Kiffin is also a guy that
- 2:58:32hasn't coached a big time school.
- 2:58:34And I, I know everybody keeps talking about Ole Miss and
- 2:58:36everything. Has Ole Miss ever gone to a
- 2:58:38national championship? When was the last time Ole Miss
- 2:58:41went to a national championship? Big time school?
- 2:58:44As far as I'm concerned, Ole Miss is not a big time school.
- 2:58:47They don't go to national championships.
- 2:58:49I, I, do you want to take a chance with Lane Kiffin.
- 2:58:52I, I, I'm going James Franklin, a guy that I think is very
- 2:58:56capable of taking a team to a national championship.
- 2:58:59It was one game away from it. Now, as far as Napier is
- 2:59:01concerned, well deserved. This is a guy that has failed,
- 2:59:05failed, failed. He brings in one of the best
- 2:59:08prospects, one of the best quarterbacks in all of the all
- 2:59:10of the country and has failed to get this guy over the hump.
- 2:59:14Get this guy in position to succeed.
- 2:59:16This offense has been one of the worst offenses in the country
- 2:59:20when going into the season. This was supposed to be one of
- 2:59:22the best offenses in the country and one of the best running
- 2:59:24games in the country. I it's, it's really, they've
- 2:59:27just fallen flat on their face and, and there's really nothing
- 2:59:30bad, nothing good to say about the Florida Gators is they're
- 2:59:33just reaching everything. Three years, every two years
- 2:59:37they're reaching for a coach and they failed to find the right
- 2:59:40one. Yeah, it's, it's interesting
- 2:59:41because at the time I thought it was a good hire because I
- 2:59:43thought Florida needed a program builder.
- 2:59:44They wanted to go for those quick fixes at at.
- 2:59:47At points after Urban Meyer left, they tried that with
- 2:59:49Muschamp, they tried that obviously with Mullen was a
- 2:59:51different case. I think he was more of a
- 2:59:53different issue why he ended up getting bought out.
- 2:59:55But still, I think when you look at the state of the college
- 2:59:58football as a whole and all these new teams that have broken
- 3:00:00out because of the way the NIL structure has been, because of
- 3:00:03the way the the rules have loosened up with the College
- 3:00:05Football playoffs. You're seeing these new breakout
- 3:00:06teams like Vanderbilt in the SEC, for example, having a
- 3:00:09strong season. You see the ACC teams the way
- 3:00:12Miami just lost, but them bouncing back the way they did.
- 3:00:15And I think because of that, you have to look for a coach that's
- 3:00:18going to be flexible with the transfer portal, be flexible
- 3:00:21with the new ways of it. And you saw it work with their
- 3:00:23basketball team. They went up again.
- 3:00:25Speedy, what do you got? I got all right.
- 3:00:27We have name hard still available.
- 3:00:29Do we go name hard? Or we have Hornstein.
- 3:00:32Those two guys are my guys. Where do we go?
- 3:00:35Jared Hornstein. Hornstein.
- 3:00:38Where do you go? Fisherman Jared Says.
- 3:00:40Hartenstein as well. Hornstein.
- 3:00:43How about? You, Jabba, where do you go?
- 3:00:45He's going to give you a. Hard 20 so.
- 3:00:48I. Hardenstein.
- 3:00:50I'm going to go Hornstein. Too, because you can't find
- 3:00:53bigs, you could always find guards, so that seems to be the
- 3:00:56pattern. With your.
- 3:00:56League and the little bit you've totally have had it.
- 3:00:59Arnstein it is baby next. Legend.
- 3:01:02But I'm finishing up what I say with Florida.
- 3:01:04You saw their. Basketball team win a
- 3:01:06championship three years. Into hiring a younger coach in
- 3:01:10in Todd Golden, it brought him over from a San Francisco team
- 3:01:13that plays in the same conference as Gonzaga.
- 3:01:15They weren't winning a lot, but they were building with the new
- 3:01:17type of identity that you see in college sports.
- 3:01:19And I think you need that kind of younger type fresh mind
- 3:01:22rather than somebody like Napier is kind of an older school type
- 3:01:25guy running really good program in Louisiana.
- 3:01:27I like the higher at the time, but again, it just doesn't fit
- 3:01:29for that as much as in today's game.
- 3:01:30And again with Penn State firing Franklin and all the other
- 3:01:32coaches end up getting these big buyouts.
- 3:01:34You got to win. You got to get these instant
- 3:01:35results. Look at Jimbo Fisher with it,
- 3:01:37Texas A&M, all the recruiting money they have, they can't do
- 3:01:39that. It gives good excuse to finally
- 3:01:41do it. You know, basically, I don't
- 3:01:43think it'll be as big of a flashy name.
- 3:01:44I think Florida is not that type of program to do that.
- 3:01:47I think it's going to be somebody we don't expect.
- 3:01:48I got CART still available and this guy could do everything.
- 3:01:52So next round I might have to bring up Josh.
- 3:01:55Hart, I might have to pick him, but go ahead.
- 3:01:57All right, go ahead, Job. I'm having fun here.
- 3:01:59We're we're working here. We're working.
- 3:02:01We got to win. Well, yeah.
- 3:02:03And then I'm just going to pass a note from none other than Owen
- 3:02:06himself as he just messaged me and goes tell Errol I'm
- 3:02:09watching. In CMC for MVP, well, yeah, he's
- 3:02:15he's still watching so. What drugs are you on, Mr. O?
- 3:02:20Man, not a chance in hell, not a chance by.
- 3:02:24The way Taylor's been the best running back in in football
- 3:02:28right now, are you going to argue that Taylor's been the
- 3:02:30best running back? He's been the most consistent.
- 3:02:33Am I wrong or right on Indianapolis?
- 3:02:36Indianapolis is 6 and one. Why do you think there's six and
- 3:02:40one? Daniel Jones and Taylor.
- 3:02:42Taylor has been as good as anybody in the league.
- 3:02:45I think he's been the most the most confident and most
- 3:02:48aggressive one out of all of them.
- 3:02:49So I'm going Taylor over Mr. CMC.
- 3:02:53So that's all I'm going to say. And Bichon Robinson is pretty
- 3:02:56damn. Yeah, I'm going to say he's
- 3:02:57right. Not far.
- 3:02:58He's been pretty damn good, too. I got them both.
- 3:03:00So kiss this Owen. I was loving that a little too
- 3:03:05much. That was fantastic.
- 3:03:07I'm just I'm, I'm just waiting to see bubbles pop.
- 3:03:10Up. So yeah.
- 3:03:11He's a, he's a, he has a love. Fest.
- 3:03:13For CMC it's fine while you watch out for.
- 3:03:16Owens, bubbles I'll finish up with.
- 3:03:17This. I got a bubble form.
- 3:03:19There's a couple obviously with the young I mentioned, Matt.
- 3:03:21Matt Campbell for being a a realistic one for Penn State
- 3:03:24last week. I could see that.
- 3:03:24Kind of thing with Florida though.
- 3:03:25Named a watch, I think, for a younger coach, More of a new
- 3:03:27school coach is Missouri's Eli Drink.
- 3:03:29Wits I think is another one that's interesting because he's
- 3:03:31built that program up very well, kind of in the same time as
- 3:03:34Florida hire Napier too. So if they want a newer school
- 3:03:36guy and more of an offensive guy, that could be a direction
- 3:03:38they look in as well. Yeah, I talked to my assistant.
- 3:03:44He went to Florida. He was there with.
- 3:03:46Like Udonis Haslam and he was a basketball.
- 3:03:48Guy and like. You know, Teddy and all those
- 3:03:51guys, so they're like all his Florida buddies are like, yeah,
- 3:03:53we want Lane Kiffin. So that's that's kind of from
- 3:03:56from. Gator.
- 3:03:56I don't think it happens. I know, I know.
- 3:03:58The rumor is kind of out there. And it's, it's funny because of
- 3:04:00how much Lane Kiffin is bumped around the SEC.
- 3:04:02It's like, oh, he's going. To keep going and screw Ole Miss
- 3:04:05and Lane Kiffin would be the type of guy to do that, I think.
- 3:04:07I just don't think Florida is the type of program as an
- 3:04:10athletic program to do that. Listen, you do not want Lane
- 3:04:14Kiffin over there at Florida. Come on, that personality in
- 3:04:18that. Locker room, I like Lane.
- 3:04:20I, I would, I would take Lena to be my next coach for the New
- 3:04:23York Jets. If it doesn't work out with our
- 3:04:25Glenn, I think he's, he's funny. I, I think his, his personality
- 3:04:29is perfect for New York, Florida recruiting.
- 3:04:33I don't know. I, I don't go that route.
- 3:04:35I go James Franklin. He knows how to recruit.
- 3:04:38He recruits a lot of great superstars.
- 3:04:40Go look, look at the guys that he's recruited over the years.
- 3:04:43Saquan's pretty damn good. There's a tight end right now in
- 3:04:46Indianapolis is pretty damn good.
- 3:04:48I mean, there's a pass rusher with the Giants pretty damn
- 3:04:52good. There's an offensive lineman on
- 3:04:54The Jets and for Shadow, that's pretty damn good.
- 3:04:58I'm going James Franklin. If I'm the Florida Gators, I'm
- 3:05:01going with a guy that knows how to recruit and and players that
- 3:05:05want to play for the coach. I'm going with the guy that's
- 3:05:08going to bring in the best players.
- 3:05:10If you would ask me and please don't ever think that Urban
- 3:05:13Meyer is going back there. That's not going to happen.
- 3:05:14That's not happening. Urban Meyer is done.
- 3:05:17He is done. He's better off just doing
- 3:05:19broadcasting here and there and. Analyzing whatever he's
- 3:05:21watching. He barely.
- 3:05:22Deserves that job, he is. So bad when he talks football I
- 3:05:27wonder if I know more about. Football than he does.
- 3:05:30I mean, seriously, he sits there and he's talking about the X and
- 3:05:33the OS and I get Dumber watching them.
- 3:05:35I really, it's really I, I, I used to like him.
- 3:05:39I used to think Urban Meyer, this guy is a great coach.
- 3:05:42He knows how to win. And then I look at all the
- 3:05:44quarterbacks he's coached over the years and I'm like, that's
- 3:05:47the guy that drafted Lawrence, isn't it?
- 3:05:51Let's not forget about this. Remember when Ryan Hickey
- 3:05:53thought he would be a good NFL coach?
- 3:05:55Please, Ryan. Hickey I love you.
- 3:05:58Ryan, I love you. It's CBS Sports Radio.
- 3:06:02Keep up the good work, my friends.
- 3:06:05And he's a cult fan, so I guess I guess he.
- 3:06:08By the way, Ryan Hickey, when Danny Dimes went to the
- 3:06:12Indianapolis Colts, he attacked it.
- 3:06:14He was like, I can't believe they brought Danny.
- 3:06:19And I texted him. I said, you're going to thank me
- 3:06:22when I tell you that Danny Dimes is going to take off over there
- 3:06:25in Indianapolis. And now we have Indiana Jones.
- 3:06:27Now all he can talk about is Indiana Jones on his damn cold
- 3:06:30show. Please, Ryan, sell whatever you
- 3:06:33want to sell and Urban Meyer stinks, Stinks horrible exes.
- 3:06:38Speedy, I take you as an offense or a defense, offensive or
- 3:06:41defensive coordinator. He stinks absolutely horrible.
- 3:06:46Yeah, he stole the job at Fox because Fox like to Fox hires
- 3:06:49anybody. They hire any.
- 3:06:52Stupid ass I'm I'm just I'm. And I love Fox.
- 3:06:55I would love, I would love to. And listen, Fox wants to pick up
- 3:06:58our show in the future. We'd love to work for Fox.
- 3:07:01I'm not taking shots at the organization worker, Mark
- 3:07:03Sanchez the the people that they choose to work for their
- 3:07:08organization when they're nitpicking and picking this
- 3:07:11player, that player, that guy, that's that I just remarkably
- 3:07:15stupid. It just doesn't make any sense.
- 3:07:18Five years Marks and Mark Sanchez name heart is still
- 3:07:21available. Go for it.
- 3:07:22Should I get Neymar? He's still sitting.
- 3:07:24There I know. I know, Coach Fish over.
- 3:07:26There is like, yeah, go get him, go get him, not Josh Hart.
- 3:07:30Should I go Josh Hart or Neymar? I would still go Nemhart of
- 3:07:33those two just because I Hart's offensive upside is more
- 3:07:37streaky. I just don't know with like the.
- 3:07:38Reps I would probably go Nemhart.
- 3:07:42I think some I heard that. I think somebody picked Josh
- 3:07:45Hart. Oh.
- 3:07:46Man, damn it, I guess I go Neymar, I guess.
- 3:07:50That clears it up. I got to go Neymar, Bing got it
- 3:07:54got got some breaking news, guys.
- 3:07:57Mike. Evans broke his collarbone
- 3:07:58tonight. He's going to miss most of the
- 3:08:01rest of the season. Oh great, that's my guy.
- 3:08:04Thank that. This really pisses.
- 3:08:06Me off, thank you. Oh.
- 3:08:08My. God, why do I anything I can do?
- 3:08:10Thank you. Thanks for ruining my night that
- 3:08:14benefits you because it's in our league.
- 3:08:16You pain in the ass Jesus. I I've lost my will.
- 3:08:22OK, for all you Florida Gator fans that are sitting here
- 3:08:26crying, the wind, Gator Nation, the swamp, give me a break.
- 3:08:32Honestly, if, if you're, if, if, if you're a program right now
- 3:08:36and you know, you have James Franklin out there, you'd be a
- 3:08:39dope ass not picking James Franklin.
- 3:08:42I would make, I would throw whatever it takes to get James
- 3:08:45Franklin over there. I would do whatever it takes to
- 3:08:48get him over there. But they're going to go Lane
- 3:08:50Kiffin. I have this feeling they're
- 3:08:52going Lane Kiffin. And when they do 2 years, 2 1/2
- 3:08:56years, well, they'll be looking for a new coach because Franklin
- 3:08:59will go somewhere else and succeed.
- 3:09:01I, I think Franklin goes to Wisconsin.
- 3:09:04That's what I think. I was, I was going to bring that
- 3:09:06up last week, but I didn't want to piss off Josh.
- 3:09:07I don't want piss myself off, you know, I don't want to see,
- 3:09:10frankly. I hate Wisconsin.
- 3:09:12I did mention Iowa and Wisconsin last.
- 3:09:14Week as like fits for that type of team.
- 3:09:16Again, I just don't know if. I don't know what he's going to
- 3:09:20go there. I I could see that I like, I
- 3:09:22think it's more of a Big 10 type of team.
- 3:09:24I don't know if I necessarily see him just because I think.
- 3:09:26The SEC is kind of changed. If they would do that much, if
- 3:09:29you look at his recruiting class, it's sensational.
- 3:09:33He knows how to recruit and. That's the way I go.
- 3:09:36I'm going with the best recruiting guy.
- 3:09:40Speaking of recruiting, Jabba, aren't we brought to you by

- 3:10:45But first, our sports minute. This is the Jabba and the mouth
- 3:10:51sportsman ass. All.
- 3:10:55Right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sports minute got a
- 3:10:59couple of. Stories before for you, before
- 3:11:00we get to the scores. This evening, in more horrible
- 3:11:03news, former All Pro running back Doug Martin died at the age
- 3:11:07of 36 in police custody. Apparently, police had been
- 3:11:10called to a house that was being burglarized, with Martin being
- 3:11:14the suspected burglar. Preliminary reports are that
- 3:11:18Martin was the burglar and that he was experiencing a medical
- 3:11:21episode in the middle of the burglary.
- 3:11:24Martin then apparently struggled with police briefly before
- 3:11:27becoming unresponsive and passing away while in police
- 3:11:31custody in Oakland, CA. As more details come out,
- 3:11:34discussion will certainly and perhaps rightfully begin to lead
- 3:11:37to yet another discussion about CTE and the struggles of
- 3:11:40football players post career due to the physicality of the game.
- 3:11:44Prayers to his family in his terrible times.
- 3:11:47And in a different type of news, which I think some of you might
- 3:11:51find interesting, Kevin Durant's business partner and boardroom
- 3:11:54CEO Rich Kleiman told ESPN Sunday that future Hall of Famer
- 3:11:59who and the Houston Rockets agreed to a two year,
- 3:12:01$90,000,000 extension, a good $30 million under the Max.
- 3:12:06Durant, who was eligible for the Max extension, reportedly wanted
- 3:12:10to sacrifice money on a new deal to allow the franchise to have
- 3:12:14some flexibility to build a championship roster.
- 3:12:17Despite his sacrifice, Durant had a lot of people on social
- 3:12:22media saying he didn't really sacrifice much, especially when
- 3:12:25he'll be making $45,000,000 a year at the age of 40 from
- 3:12:29Houston. And he is the NBA's career
- 3:12:32earnings record holder with this new contract with a passing
- 3:12:36LeBron James. And he has made $598.2 million
- 3:12:42in just contracts alone in his career in the NBA. the Rockets
- 3:12:48currently have the 5th best odds to win the NBA title this season
- 3:12:52at 14 to one. Guys, we are streaming live on

- 3:15:38We're going to do it sometime, probably after Thanksgiving, I
- 3:15:43would think between Thanksgiving and Christmas, probably sometime
- 3:15:48in December. Maybe we'll go to the hospitals.
- 3:15:51Maybe we'll make a Jabba Bear. You know, we were talking about
- 3:15:54that. Go to a couple hospitals.
- 3:15:55Still need the Nathan Bear blue blazer.
- 3:15:57I don't know if you want an Arrow bear.
- 3:15:59I mean, come on, We need the Nathan Bear blue blazer and
- 3:16:01leash. And then a shirt.
- 3:16:02That says a lot of ladies. No, we.
- 3:16:04Do not want a Nathan Bear. No way.
- 3:16:07I farted. I am a legend.
- 3:16:08Yum Yum. I want.
- 3:16:12We do not want. Nathan Bear.
- 3:16:14Anyways, we call this Jabba. Rules, rules, rules.
- 3:16:23All right, here we go. Jabba, it's time for you to tell
- 3:16:27us what rules tonight. There was there was a lot to I
- 3:16:33mean, we kind of touched on one guy, I.
- 3:16:35Was going to touch on. But I think what rules are game
- 3:16:39sevens in all of sports? There's nothing like a winner go
- 3:16:43home. I don't care if it's hockey,
- 3:16:46basketball, baseball. And you look at Game 7, there's
- 3:16:49always, there's always something to be said about especially late
- 3:16:54as you get further into the playoffs than you see.
- 3:16:58And I felt like this one was going to be a dude.
- 3:16:59We got a Game 7 going on right now.
- 3:17:01It's in the 9th inning. It's been a back and forth game.
- 3:17:04A guy comes up tied for the most go ahead homers in playoff
- 3:17:09history and it's a three run Homer and now you have it.
- 3:17:13I mean, it's literally like it's Game 7 vibe.
- 3:17:15There's nothing that rules more than having it all on the line
- 3:17:20and getting to do this show and watch it at the same time.
- 3:17:23I mean, what? What else could be better and
- 3:17:25spending with you guys? There you go.
- 3:17:29Game seven. We're at the last two outs in
- 3:17:31the top of the ninth right now. They got Julio.
- 3:17:34Rodriguez the future, maybe the present if he can make it happen
- 3:17:37right now for the Mariners in this key situation.
- 3:17:41But we're going to keep moving on with the show.
- 3:17:43Errol yes, that's what rules tonight.
- 3:17:46You know, I I can't believe this.
- 3:17:47Could you imagine the Blue Jays the What was the last American
- 3:17:51League team to come back? From a 2 nothing deficit and win
- 3:17:54a series. Was it the Yankees?
- 3:17:56Oh, I don't know. I I don't know.
- 3:18:03Yeah, I don't. This first time the Blue Jay
- 3:18:04been in the World Series. Since 93.
- 3:18:07Yeah. I think somebody.
- 3:18:09Picked up castle speed. You believe this crap?
- 3:18:13This is. This is.
- 3:18:14This is. Now I'm starting to reach.
- 3:18:17I'm starting. Now you're going to take.
- 3:18:18Into the woodshed. By these experts here in the
- 3:18:20later rounds that's not where you lose in the early rounds
- 3:18:23it's the later rounds I'm. Looking, man, I'm looking.
- 3:18:25I'm trying to, I'm trying to guess here.
- 3:18:28Kyrie Irving's still available. Should I pick him up and let
- 3:18:30him? Sit my bench.
- 3:18:32Well, I mean, he'll be back later on.
- 3:18:33Then you get a guy who gets a lot of points per game.
- 3:18:35So it's not a, it's not a bad. Bad idea if you don't think that
- 3:18:40he's you think you have a starting lineup or oh, I have a
- 3:18:43starting lineup. I have A and Tyrese Halberton,
- 3:18:45who is Damian Lillard. These guys are not even going to
- 3:18:48play this. Year I, I'm going Kyrie Irving.
- 3:18:52How about Lamela Ball? Still there.
- 3:18:55He's still there. Should I go Lamela Ball?
- 3:18:59Yeah, I would. I would probably go because you
- 3:19:01don't. Know what you're getting.
- 3:19:03At they just. Picked my guy Smith they.
- 3:19:06Picked. Marie Smith from the Rockets, I
- 3:19:08think so that's not. Bad Either.
- 3:19:11They just picked my guy Jabari Smith.
- 3:19:15That's it, boys. Some.
- 3:19:16More frontcourt depth. Jabari Smith is actually pretty
- 3:19:18good. He's fine.
- 3:19:19Not going to give. As much offensively, but.
- 3:19:21Defensively, he should give you some looks.
- 3:19:22Like the blue? Jays will be returning.
- 3:19:26To the World Series they have. Beaten the Seattle Mariners four
- 3:19:31to three. Julio Rodriguez struck out in
- 3:19:34the ninth inning to end the game.
- 3:19:37Not very happy. Not very happy about it, that's
- 3:19:40for damn sure. We'll get to talk about the
- 3:19:42World Series coming up on next. Episode on Wednesday, but we
- 3:19:45still got dial it up to make a. Call to dial it up.
- 3:19:49We interrupt this regularly scheduled Hotmix to bring an
- 3:19:51important news. Book we got a.
- 3:19:53Big broadcast today. We're about to dial it up.
- 3:19:57Breaking news. Do you want?
- 3:20:00All right, guys, welcome to. Dial it.
- 3:20:05Up everyone's. Favorite.
- 3:20:07Lightning round sports segments. And we got a doozy to start it
- 3:20:12off, Errol. Hasn't seen these stories,
- 3:20:13doesn't know he's going to react and we'll have every one person
- 3:20:16react to him. Cashman, Brian Cashman, Yankees
- 3:20:19general manager fires back at Jeter and a rod.
- 3:20:23I don't know if you saw this, but he took some shots in the
- 3:20:26media as his former players took shots at him.
- 3:20:30While they are now currently in the media.
- 3:20:33A Rod and Jeter were. We talked about it last week or
- 3:20:36two weeks ago now. Both claimed that Cashman as
- 3:20:38analytics crew were making lineup decisions and calling
- 3:20:41down during the game to influence decisions made by
- 3:20:44manager Aaron Boone. Jeter and A Rod also took shots
- 3:20:46at port roster construction and defended Boone.
- 3:20:50Cashman then denied these claims on WF and Evan and Tiki, saying
- 3:20:55it's not true. Clearly they don't know.
- 3:20:58Clearly they don't know. I know that Jeter said that.
- 3:21:01I don't know what he meant by it.
- 3:21:03He said he doesn't have any inside knowledge when he said
- 3:21:06it, but he did say it for whatever reason.
- 3:21:09It's a lot of says it say it over here, but I don't know
- 3:21:13Errol. Every single person we've talked
- 3:21:15to seems to think there's a lot of decisions coming from
- 3:21:19upstairs being brought to to Mr. Boone.
- 3:21:22So is Cashman throwing Boone under the bus right now to
- 3:21:26defend himself? Dial it up?
- 3:21:30I don't think so. First of all, if anybody has
- 3:21:32kept Boone right to the hip, it's Brian.
- 3:21:34Cashman, Brian Cashman has. Already said that Aaron Boone is
- 3:21:38going to keep his job and we're tied to the hip and I expect
- 3:21:42that I believe that's going to happen if Brian Cashman steps
- 3:21:45down, Aaron Boone's going to get fired.
- 3:21:47I, I don't know why Derek Jeter is speaking.
- 3:21:49This is a guy that's come out and said that he never wanted to
- 3:21:51be an analyst. He doesn't want to talk to the
- 3:21:53media. He doesn't want to be on social
- 3:21:55media. This guy's all over social
- 3:21:57media. This guy's on Fox.
- 3:21:58He's hanging out with two personalities.
- 3:22:02Derek Jeter is not a personality.
- 3:22:03I, you can see it on television. You look at Alex, Alex's
- 3:22:07personality. David Ortiz is a personality.
- 3:22:10Derek, there's no personality whatsoever.
- 3:22:14I I Alex Rodriguez should just concentrate.
- 3:22:17On his. Basketball team concentrate on
- 3:22:20what he is doing or when it comes to the businesses that
- 3:22:22he's working with. I understand he loves the game
- 3:22:24of baseball. I understand what he's trying to
- 3:22:26do and he's trying to make a statement as a professional
- 3:22:29athlete and and a successful one to be exact.
- 3:22:33I just don't know why anybody's attacking Brian Cashman.
- 3:22:35If you look at Brian Cashman's past, I know Jabba is not a big
- 3:22:39fan of his. Just think about it.
- 3:22:41Tell me the last professional sports team with 34 consistent
- 3:22:46and consecutive winning seasons. There is none.
- 3:22:50That record will never be broken.
- 3:22:53And who's a part of those great teams and those teams of
- 3:22:56success? Brian Cashman.
- 3:22:58He's one of the big, big reasons why they've continued on when
- 3:23:02George Steinburn has left. I, I think George, I think Brian
- 3:23:05Cashman has said what he said, Aaron Boone is tied to the hip.
- 3:23:08If, if, if he gets fired, you know, Aaron Boone's going to
- 3:23:12probably go with them. I think they're both tied to the
- 3:23:14hip. So I don't think it's bad.
- 3:23:16I don't think there's there's any story behind anything that
- 3:23:19has been going back and forth with Alex and Derek.
- 3:23:23Yeah, I mean, I obviously, he said.
- 3:23:25With no knowledge or whatever, but I think it.
- 3:23:27Just it also too. If it was, if it was anybody
- 3:23:31else, I don't think there probably would have been.
- 3:23:34I wouldn't. Necessarily.
- 3:23:35Call it backlash, right? But some acknowledgement of, of
- 3:23:38what he said, why he said it or what he meant by it.
- 3:23:43So I think that's that, that's just coming from him.
- 3:23:47It's definitely, I think it means a little bit something to
- 3:23:51everybody else just because of what he's done with the
- 3:23:53organization. I I don't.
- 3:23:56Believe. Anything the weasel says.
- 3:23:58So you you I've. Had to deal with it.
- 3:24:00Personally. So yeah, that's, that's kind of
- 3:24:05where it stands. So he he's going to show face.
- 3:24:07He's going to. Do exactly what he's done for.
- 3:24:10I mean, he's. Got to.
- 3:24:10Be one of the longest tenured GM's of any major sports in in
- 3:24:15the history. So he's doing something right or
- 3:24:18he's got pictures or something on somebody.
- 3:24:20So I'll, I'll say I'll leave that there if I ever want to do
- 3:24:24anything with the Yankees, which that'll never happen, so.
- 3:24:27I'm good. Well, Jabba to me.
- 3:24:31I mean, they're not getting my flag back, though they can suck
- 3:24:34it. That that.
- 3:24:36Quote that he had it just To me it seemed like he was just lying
- 3:24:40I. Don't know, it's like the.
- 3:24:41Type of thing you say when. You're lying.
- 3:24:43Here's a pretty good one, Errol. Oh, that's Nick Saban sitting on
- 3:24:47college game day with now fired coach James Franklin.
- 3:24:51And Nick Saban ripped Penn State for doing so on the show.
- 3:24:56Get some choice words. It's unfair as hell for you to
- 3:24:59go to the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, get to the Final Four,
- 3:25:03come out being ranked high this year, an expectation that you
- 3:25:06created by what you accomplished.
- 3:25:08For those people not to show enough appreciation and
- 3:25:10gratitude, it's unfair. History is the best indicator of
- 3:25:14what the future is going to bring, so you're going to do
- 3:25:16well wherever you go. Franklin was fired after Penn
- 3:25:20State suffered three straight losses, including two straight
- 3:25:22to teams they were favored over by 20 plus points.
- 3:25:26Franklin was 104 and 25 in his eleven plus year as Penn State
- 3:25:30head coach, but was 4 and 21 against top ten teams and 15 and
- 3:25:352029 against all ranked opponents.
- 3:25:40Errol sounds like something that you were saying not that long
- 3:25:43ago. Dial it up.
- 3:25:45I'm loving Nick Saban. He's absolutely right.
- 3:25:48How do you push a guy out after the?
- 3:25:50Success that he's had year. In and year out, the last person
- 3:25:54to have that success in Penn State was paternal.
- 3:25:57And you see this guy was one game away from being a national
- 3:26:01championship game in a national championship game and maybe a
- 3:26:04national champion and to throw him out after a year after that,
- 3:26:08just despicable. I I understand what Penn State
- 3:26:11and, and the fans are trying to do.
- 3:26:13They're very well follow. They they're just, they're,
- 3:26:18they're really a program that's known for winning and it's a
- 3:26:23program that hasn't won in a very long time.
- 3:26:25So they're trying to win a championship.
- 3:26:27They're trying to win a national championship.
- 3:26:29But going this route makes no sense.
- 3:26:31Nick Saban is absolutely right. I got to give Nick Saban a
- 3:26:34little bit more credit, even though I can't stand the man.
- 3:26:37The guy knows what he's talking about.
- 3:26:38He's won national championships. Shame on Penn State, shame on
- 3:26:43the fans as me and Nick, Nick will stand forward for James
- 3:26:47Franklin take the Gator job. So yeah, so I it's always a
- 3:26:52matter of time of which job he was going to get with this with.
- 3:26:55This new with this new firing. Obviously the Gator job is going
- 3:26:58to be the highly touted one. It was the highly touted one at
- 3:27:00the beginning of the year or two when it comes to because there
- 3:27:03were rumors of Napier. Napier kept his job last year
- 3:27:05with the resurgent second-half that he had.
- 3:27:08He upset some good teams, but that was always going to be
- 3:27:10talked about as the most and like I said before, like
- 3:27:12especially with their basketball team now winning a national
- 3:27:14championship, willing to spend those resources too.
- 3:27:16So it's definitely an interesting vibe.
- 3:27:17Like I said before, I don't know if it's the SEC type of way, but
- 3:27:20who knows? James Franklin, maybe he changes
- 3:27:22ways to evolve to the modern game more.
- 3:27:23That's why he wasn't winning the big games at Penn State like he
- 3:27:26did. But he's still like Errol saying
- 3:27:27creating a good program. So it's definitely interesting
- 3:27:30when you have Sabins seal of approval, if an SEC team would
- 3:27:32take that into consideration. All right, let's move from the
- 3:27:37world of college football to the ring.
- 3:27:40Where? Danny Garcia.
- 3:27:42Had a memorable knockout in his last fight in Brooklyn.
- 3:27:47He did it again in Brooklyn. Personal friend of mine, by the
- 3:27:51way, Danny Garcia. I'm going to work and I'm
- 3:27:52getting Danny on the show. He doesn't really like to do
- 3:27:55interviews. But I'm going to I'm working on
- 3:27:58Danny. If you come on the show, I've
- 3:27:59known Danny for a long time. So congratulations, Dan.
- 3:28:02By the way, they said that this is going to be his last fight in
- 3:28:05the Barclays Center, where he is 8 and two in his career.
- 3:28:08He. Opened up the Barclays Center
- 3:28:10with a defeat of Erik Morales in 2012.
- 3:28:14He will finish thirteen years later with the same fourth round
- 3:28:18knockout, which with his signature left hook on Saturday
- 3:28:22night. I already knew what he was
- 3:28:24trying to do, Garcia said. Everybody thinks I'm flat
- 3:28:27footed. They could just box around me
- 3:28:29like it's easy, but when you're in there with me, it's a whole
- 3:28:32different ball game. Kudos to Garcia, Errol, I think
- 3:28:36you got some personal stories here, maybe to share.
- 3:28:39Dial it up. All right, so I've known Danny
- 3:28:42Garcia really since he started boxing.
- 3:28:45Watched. Him train out of the Mike Tyson
- 3:28:47gym. I watched this guy knock out
- 3:28:49heavyweights. This guy has got one of the
- 3:28:51heaviest punches you'll ever see.
- 3:28:54He can hit you with the left, he can hit you with the right.
- 3:28:56He's a great boxer. He is not flat footed.
- 3:28:59I I don't know why anybody comes out and says that Danny Garcia
- 3:29:02is flat footed. He's a power puncher, He's a
- 3:29:04knockout puncher and what he did on Saturday night is just tells
- 3:29:08you what type of fighter he is. 37 years old, he's at the tail
- 3:29:12end of his career. I family man one of the nicest
- 3:29:16people you'll ever meet personally one of the coolest
- 3:29:20down to earth people you ever meet.
- 3:29:21Funny as hell too tells a lot of jokes likes these old fashioned
- 3:29:26jokes. He watches a lot of old
- 3:29:28fashioned movies. He's great.
- 3:29:31He's just a great personality and congratulations to him,
- 3:29:35very, very well deserved and and one of the greatest boxers like
- 3:29:39punch out knockout punchers in his weight class in the last 25
- 3:29:44years. And I expect Danny Garcia to
- 3:29:46fight at least two more, maybe three more fights.
- 3:29:48But as far as the Barclays Center, I think this will be the
- 3:29:51final fight. You see him at the Barclays
- 3:29:53Center and remember, he's from New York, baby, New York bread
- 3:29:57baby. I love him.
- 3:29:58Congratulations to the great Danny Garcia.
- 3:30:00Pretty cool. You know, none of us really
- 3:30:03caught the fight. I just, I knew there was a
- 3:30:05little connection. Always watch his fights.
- 3:30:07Love him. And wanted wanted to share that
- 3:30:09with you. One of the Obviously he said
- 3:30:11that he's not. Retiring, just not fighting
- 3:30:13anymore in. Brooklyn.
- 3:30:14Brooklyn. He doesn't.
- 3:30:15He's not fighting anymore in Brooklyn, and that's his home.
- 3:30:18Brooklyn. Is his home away from home.
- 3:30:22He he preaches how much he loves fighting here and and and loves
- 3:30:26being here. So I expect him to fight two or
- 3:30:29three more fights I expect him to try to go after one more
- 3:30:32title and one more title fight. This guy can knock at anybody
- 3:30:36anybody in any weight class even if he wants to put on some
- 3:30:39weight. I, I could see him fight in a
- 3:30:41cruiserweight or even light heavyweight if if he really
- 3:30:44wanted to fight in that in those weight classes.
- 3:30:46So heaviest guys, I've seen him knockout some of the biggest
- 3:30:50guys, man. So and not he's not afraid of
- 3:30:54anybody. So Danny Garcia is not flat
- 3:30:56footed. Whoever calls him flat footed is
- 3:30:58an idiot. Well, someone did and it
- 3:31:00certainly pissed him off enough to get motivated for the right
- 3:31:03amount for that fight. So here we go, We got.
- 3:31:05Another story, Arrow. I know you're going to love this
- 3:31:07one. Talk about some hardware.
- 3:31:10This is Las Vegas aces Asia Wilson, who is now the Thanos of
- 3:31:17the WNBA. She made a statement on her
- 3:31:20Instagram going full Thanos. Yes, just as Thanos collected
- 3:31:25the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet that allowed
- 3:31:29him to. Spoiler alert if you haven't
- 3:31:31seen the great movies from almost 10 years ago now snap
- 3:31:33half of existence into oblivion. Asia Wilson acquired accolades
- 3:31:38for her very own WNBA Infinity Gauntlet that she took on the
- 3:31:42parade for their title championship run this year.
- 3:31:47The six stones on Wilson's gauntlet represented her 2025
- 3:31:51accomplishments of WNBA Champion, WNBA MVP, Finals MVP,
- 3:31:57Defensive Player of the Year, scoring Champion and some award
- 3:32:01they call Peak Performer, which I think is an analytics award.
- 3:32:05Pretty wild. A lot of people were loving it
- 3:32:07on social media, this type of design, walking around with the
- 3:32:11Thanos snap going on over here, Errol in ways to celebrate an
- 3:32:17awesome season. I feel like this one's pretty
- 3:32:20high up there. Dial it up.
- 3:32:23She was the best basketball player in the country, in the
- 3:32:25world. I mean as far as women's are.
- 3:32:27Concerned WNBA She was the. Best the.
- 3:32:30Best of the best and and very well deserved.
- 3:32:32I don't know much about what she did all season long.
- 3:32:36I just know numbers and numbers would tell you that there was
- 3:32:40nobody better in the WNBA really all season long.
- 3:32:45She's very, very talented, very well deserved and she should
- 3:32:49brag. She should dance around Thanos.
- 3:32:51Do not. She should.
- 3:32:53She really should take all the accolades and and people should
- 3:32:56respect what she's done as a a professional basketball player.
- 3:33:00It's great, great season for Wilson and I.
- 3:33:02I expect her to be even better next year.
- 3:33:05I just love seeing the love for the the what is it the respect
- 3:33:09that these players deserve because I think Ajaya.
- 3:33:11Wilson. Ajaya Wilson, she's, she's an
- 3:33:14absolute star. She's an absolute stud.
- 3:33:16She's such a great player in the league.
- 3:33:18And like you said, to let her, let her celebrate, let her as a
- 3:33:21Thanos fan, I love it. I was, when I saw the picture, I
- 3:33:23saw the stones, I saw the six stones.
- 3:33:25Her little writing that she put on top of it, the MVP, finals,
- 3:33:29MVP, finals champ. This team has been dominant and
- 3:33:32it's really been besides her and it's really been behind her,
- 3:33:34really her fueling the power behind this team.
- 3:33:37This team has been dominant the last four years.
- 3:33:38It's third championship in the last four years.
- 3:33:41And really the only time they got a break was when the Liberty
- 3:33:44of course, go Liberty. But the Liberty of course won
- 3:33:47the championship last year. And even then they were in the
- 3:33:49the finals to go or the conference finals to go to the
- 3:33:53finals against the Liberty. So hey, you love to see it for
- 3:33:56women that are actually getting the respect that they deserve.
- 3:33:58The main line stream, the mainstream media that the media
- 3:34:01that you see them on, you love seeing it With AJ Wilson as
- 3:34:03someone as dominant as her, she definitely deserves to respect
- 3:34:06that. She definitely deserves.
- 3:34:09All right, Tommy, let's move on to the last one.
- 3:34:14Over here again. Pretty cool touch with that
- 3:34:18celebration. Oh, and here we.
- 3:34:19Go, we got. The map up there.
- 3:34:21General Manager Mike Lombardi fundraised in Saudi Arabia for
- 3:34:27UNC football, long time Bill Belichick consiglieri Mike
- 3:34:33Lombardi, who is currently the GM of UNC football program after
- 3:34:37serving in that capacity with the Patriots for several years.
- 3:34:41Reports came out last week he went to Saudi Arabia to secure
- 3:34:45funding for the UNC football program for for some reason I
- 3:34:49guess, although that story has been amended to say he simply
- 3:34:53met with a Saudi national about fundraising.
- 3:34:56Although originally it was said he was trying to get public
- 3:34:59Saudi money which can only come from Saudi royalty.
- 3:35:04UNC apparently was OK with Lombardi's fundraising efforts
- 3:35:08and the reports were the Saudis love UNC because of Michael
- 3:35:12Jordan and Bill Belichick. The Saudis have made lots of
- 3:35:16news recently with spending on American entertainment, from
- 3:35:19professional wrestling to stand up comedy and now apparently
- 3:35:24college football. Errol, dial it up.
- 3:35:30I first of all, why is anybody going to Saudi Arabia?
- 3:35:33I know that there was somebody. Named Prime that went to the
- 3:35:36Saudis. And asked for some money and it
- 3:35:38it to me, you stay the hell away from that.
- 3:35:41I I mean, this is American football, college football.
- 3:35:45Why are you bringing another country involved with it?
- 3:35:47I understand why Lombardi's doing it.
- 3:35:49There's a lot of money over there.
- 3:35:50There's a lot of rich people, Princess, kings, whatever Queens
- 3:35:54Princess says. You want to grab some money?
- 3:35:56You want to spend a little bit of money and you want to
- 3:35:59obviously get get NIL deals. Makes a lot of sense while
- 3:36:02you're doing it. I just don't understand why
- 3:36:05you're bringing in another country to go and gravitate and
- 3:36:08bring in more money to the United States.
- 3:36:10I think I, I think that shouldn't be allowed.
- 3:36:12That shouldn't be accepted. And I think the NCAA needs to
- 3:36:16look into that and keep any country away from investing any
- 3:36:20money into college football and NIL deals.
- 3:36:23Yeah, I was going to say, like you talk about the Coach Prime
- 3:36:25story last year, it's an legal method we talked about the one
- 3:36:28with. With Diego Pavia, with
- 3:36:30Vanderbilt and a couple other guys with the Italian mob, it's
- 3:36:33like it's one of these like illegal operations just to get
- 3:36:36other type of money. And you see it's a program like
- 3:36:39North Carolina. Obviously Bill Belichick has won
- 3:36:41a few like games against practically FCS schools this
- 3:36:45year. So you're in the desperation
- 3:36:47mode already trying to get ahead of it on the transfer portal,
- 3:36:49trying to get ahead of it on the funds.
- 3:36:50When they had Mac Brown before that for a long time, that was
- 3:36:53kind of more of an old school type guy.
- 3:36:54And I think because of that, they just got wet into illegal
- 3:36:58operations in a sense. And you're right, Saudi Arabia's
- 3:37:01trying to get in all these soccer players.
- 3:37:02They're trying to get all these wrestling like a lot of the guys
- 3:37:05are mentioning in the private chat.
- 3:37:06They're trying to get into it illegally just because they have
- 3:37:09all these rich guys over there. And again, college sports, it's
- 3:37:12really going down a wrong turn with how many schools, how many
- 3:37:14different types of programs you go to.
- 3:37:16Remember, for a power for school, that's going to be 20 to
- 3:37:2025 teams within that. Who says there aren't just
- 3:37:22football teams doing it? I mean, guys, it the boosters.
- 3:37:28This is what's. What the world is like now if
- 3:37:31it's nio, they. Get boosters money wherever I
- 3:37:35can get it from. I agree they need to make rules
- 3:37:37about this. That's a legal let's that's what
- 3:37:40you don't think that look, no, it's not a crime.
- 3:37:43Speedy it's not. There's nothing illegal.
- 3:37:46About. Doing that and the college was
- 3:37:48fine. With.
- 3:37:48It is it morally reprehensible? Perhaps that's a different
- 3:37:53story, but as far as legal, look, we know Belichick likes to
- 3:37:58do things that they have to then make illegal because he thinks
- 3:38:01of it before there's a law for it or rule against it, just like
- 3:38:05he did with every time he tried to break the rules in the, in
- 3:38:08the NFL. I, I said I don't like it.
- 3:38:11I, I think the NCAA needs to look into this and they need to.
- 3:38:14Obviously it's not. Illegal, but it it should be
- 3:38:17illegal. They have to investigate it.
- 3:38:18They should not let let any coaches or anybody from any of
- 3:38:23these programs go to Saudi Arabia and try to bring money to
- 3:38:27America. I think it's wrong.
- 3:38:28By the way, the draft is over. You ready to listen to my team?
- 3:38:31Tell me what you guys think shot.
- 3:38:33I got Alexander, Evan Mobley, Scotty Barnes, Julius Randall,
- 3:38:40De Aaron Fox, Darius Garland, Isaiah Hornstein, Andrew Neymar,
- 3:38:46Devin Vessel, Jabari Smith, Lonzo Ball, Dylan Harper and
- 3:38:52Kyrie Irving. You did get Dylan Harper.
- 3:38:54I did Nice. You got the wrong ball.
- 3:38:58Lonzo Ball. He stinks.
- 3:39:00No, you got. To get the the brothers good
- 3:39:02ball hasn't. First of all, Lonzo Ball.
- 3:39:04Melo's the good one, yeah. That was what was kind of
- 3:39:07confusing, yeah. Maybe he wasn't available.
- 3:39:09No, no, no, Lonzo. Ball is a good player.
- 3:39:12He just couldn't stay healthy. Lonzo Ball is going to play if
- 3:39:15he plays, if he plays half a. Season I don't know I've been
- 3:39:20make some kind he is a. Rebounder for his size and he's
- 3:39:23a passer and that's what you need.
- 3:39:24He hasn't played consistently in like 4 seasons, who cares?
- 3:39:28I got him now and he got him in. He's probably only need him I
- 3:39:31expect. You, he's going to be the first
- 3:39:32guy you end up dropping. For somebody that's hot, that's
- 3:39:35that's who he is. Or he'll be on the injured.
- 3:39:37Well, you want to see who's still available, but I got, I
- 3:39:40got other predictions, Errol for this upcoming year.
- 3:39:44You want to do it? Let's do it.
- 3:39:46You. Got the first time, we got the
- 3:39:47drop. Let's back it.
- 3:39:48Let's spank it. Call your shot.
- 3:39:50I'm not an X's and O's guy, right?
- 3:39:52I'm not a tactician, I'm a. Motivator in the classic sense
- 3:39:55of the word. You know Lombardi.
- 3:39:56Charles Lindbergh, that nun over in India, like those people.
- 3:40:00Call your shot. All right, here it is.
- 3:40:06Call your. Shot, We've got some real random
- 3:40:09predictions. That we're just going to throw
- 3:40:12out there into the wind and see what sticks.
- 3:40:15We got some real good feelings about it.
- 3:40:17Errol, who do you want to go? All right, so let's let's let's
- 3:40:22bring Jared in. Why does why, why don't we have
- 3:40:24him in? That'd be fun.
- 3:40:25All right, this is what we're going to.
- 3:40:27Do we're going to go speedy fish, Jared?
- 3:40:33Jabba me. Here we go.
- 3:40:34All right. Be ready for my.
- 3:40:36Out there, pick. Of.
- 3:40:37Florida's next head coach for a guy that was.
- 3:40:40A Florida alum and a guy that not too long ago, but trade a
- 3:40:44particularly rising PAC 12 program to take over at
- 3:40:49Washington for Caitlin De Boer. That is Jed Fish, a guy that was
- 3:40:54a University of Florida alum in 1998, started his coaching
- 3:40:58career as a graduate assistant over there.
- 3:41:00And like I mentioned before with the basketball team, if it's the
- 3:41:03pattern of wanting to go for a for a younger guy, he's 49 years
- 3:41:06old, which is young for college coaching standards.
- 3:41:08He even had some NFL experience. This is a guy that has been a
- 3:41:11quarterback coach in a lot of different places.
- 3:41:13I mentioned drink, which was the guy that I think they should
- 3:41:16hire. But I think it fits the pattern
- 3:41:17for somebody that wants to make a lot of money. 7 million on his
- 3:41:20current contract and you get double there almost double there
- 3:41:22probably at Florida for a guy that was a Gator.
- 3:41:25So give me bold pick Jedfish next Florida Gators head coach.
- 3:41:30I got one for you and it is based on something we were
- 3:41:33talking about earlier tonight. I'm going to say within.
- 3:41:36The next five years, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be
- 3:41:41called the London Knights. They will be moved overseas to
- 3:41:46London. Since they've been starting to
- 3:41:49play these games, the Jaguars have played by far the most
- 3:41:52Games in London. They have played now 14 Games in
- 3:41:56London. In this overseas play, the
- 3:41:59owners of the Jags have soccer teams in London.
- 3:42:04They've been wanting to bring that overseas mentality to the
- 3:42:08NFL. The London Knights is just
- 3:42:11sitting there, sitting there for a franchise.
- 3:42:15What a great name. You can see the merch already.
- 3:42:18The Jaguars, that team doesn't bring it in, even though they
- 3:42:22can get a lot of fans down over there in the north, in northern
- 3:42:25Florida. It's not a big money maker for
- 3:42:28the NFL. It's just too obvious.
- 3:42:31I say it within five years, it's the London Knights.
- 3:42:36AW is also huge in London right now, so I could easily see the
- 3:42:38Cons moving that over Con AW I'm telling you.
- 3:42:42It's all set up. It's all set up.
- 3:42:45All right. Who's up next?
- 3:42:46Jared, you up? I believe it's me.
- 3:42:49So right at Penn. State's coaching and.
- 3:42:51Next coaching hire. The word around the street I've
- 3:42:55heard recently is John Harbaugh. I that's, I don't see that
- 3:42:59happening at all. I think Penn State's going to
- 3:43:01aim big and I think they're going to strike out and I think
- 3:43:06their next head coach will be Matt Rule.
- 3:43:09He's a Penn State alum. He's a good coach.
- 3:43:12He's the exact opposite of what their fans want right now
- 3:43:15because he does not win top ten games, he does not win any top
- 3:43:1725 wins, but he's a solid coach. I think they might get him, just
- 3:43:21get a stop gap in there. That would then leave though a
- 3:43:25coaching vacancy at Nebraska. I believe Nebraska's next head
- 3:43:29coach next year will be the newly fired Brian Kelly.
- 3:43:33He'll be gone for sure at the end of the season.
- 3:43:37I've seen like he's a program builder.
- 3:43:39That's kind of what he is. He's not really a fit for any
- 3:43:41top tier school right now. Nebraska could he could help
- 3:43:44Nebraska get back to being a top little school until they get
- 3:43:46their real next head coach. It just seems like their next
- 3:43:50kind of guy and seems like this trajectory right now for Brian
- 3:43:54Kelly as well. But before you give a reaction,
- 3:43:57I just want to say, would it also be funny if the Penn State
- 3:44:00hires rule that that Nebraska? Hires Franklin right after that.
- 3:44:04They essentially do a trade. I mean I wouldn't be pissed
- 3:44:10about it. You're not saying no to.
- 3:44:12Franklin Oh, no. Like, yeah, I'm not at all.
- 3:44:15Like. Literally like.
- 3:44:18I would, I mean, just scratch my head because if you want to
- 3:44:20trade him, I guess trade him. I mean, Franklin fits the MO of
- 3:44:25like kind of the same thing we have here because it's
- 3:44:29literally, you know, he's good with the media.
- 3:44:32He, you know, doesn't go crazy as great.
- 3:44:34And like they hated Bo Pelini because Bo Pelini still won nine
- 3:44:38games a year, but he hated the media.
- 3:44:40He didn't like talking to him. He told him what he.
- 3:44:42Felt and told him to stick it with the sun don't shine and
- 3:44:44they didn't like that but he won nine games but they also he
- 3:44:47couldn't win a big one either. So we've kind of that's kind of
- 3:44:50just been our spiel. But yeah if if that's the case
- 3:44:54Jared I'll go with you but I wouldn't take Brian Kelly.
- 3:44:56I'll I'd take the let's just go straight across right now.
- 3:45:01I mean, I'd do it. I mean, you aren't.
- 3:45:03You're not wrong though. Like if I.
- 3:45:05Don't know if you guys saw this. But rule, I think it was like
- 3:45:07two or three years ago started talking about Penn State and it
- 3:45:10was like, yeah, my team where I'm like his family still lives
- 3:45:13there. I mean, from there, so it
- 3:45:16wouldn't wouldn't surprise me. But the crazy part is his
- 3:45:20contract here it's not. Like a buyout.
- 3:45:23He would actually have to pay the school $5,000,000.
- 3:45:26So it's like it's doable because then it would be they wouldn't
- 3:45:30be paying because we were paying. 4.
- 3:45:32Coaches at 1:00. Time like Nebraska doesn't care.
- 3:45:34Like all we have is called football.
- 3:45:35Scott Frost is probably hard to recover from.
- 3:45:38I think we just stopped paying. Bo Pelini.
- 3:45:40We are still paying. What's his Dick?
- 3:45:44Who'd we bring in after that? Yeah, I'm trying to remember.
- 3:45:46I draw him a blank at his name. So he went to he was a coach for
- 3:45:50the AAFL, whatever it was. He sucked too.
- 3:45:55He's from Oregon State, whatever the hell his name.
- 3:45:57I don't remember his name. He was awful as he was a 500
- 3:46:00guy. But no.
- 3:46:03Yeah, that'll be interesting. I like to see that play out.
- 3:46:05But mine. Mike Riley is Mike Riley, right?
- 3:46:08Yep. Mike Riley.
- 3:46:09You're right. He'd always get him ice cream
- 3:46:11and sprinkles. That's how that's how the media
- 3:46:13portrayed him. We hey, we played good.
- 3:46:16Let's go get ice cream and sprinkles.
- 3:46:17Yeah. I didn't remember him at all.
- 3:46:20No, he's terrible. Mine is.
- 3:46:23We've talked. About how they're going to.
- 3:46:25Expand. Baseball in.
- 3:46:28In a couple years but mine is not going to be in the USI
- 3:46:36believe. They are going to.
- 3:46:37Bring it back to Montreal and I think with the way the Jays have
- 3:46:43obviously been winning. And how crazy.
- 3:46:46Canada is about sports and how it was already a storied
- 3:46:50franchise, and they have. Obviously.
- 3:46:55The infrastructure to do it because they've done it before
- 3:46:59and it was kind of thrown to the wayside.
- 3:47:01Don't be surprised if one of those like.
- 3:47:05Nashville or somebody? Else that is already like has
- 3:47:08the infrastructure but trying to find a place to put it because
- 3:47:11that's kind of the biggest thing if Montreal is not one of those
- 3:47:15those three that they expanded all right and our final call
- 3:47:22your. Shot.
- 3:47:23Well, it's a. Bold 1 ladies and gentlemen, but
- 3:47:27this is what I believe. Next year, the WNBANVP is going
- 3:47:34to be none other than Caitlin Clark.
- 3:47:38I absolutely believe next year, I said it, it's going to take
- 3:47:41three years for her to become the MVP of the WNBA.
- 3:47:46This past year before her injury, she averaged 16 points,
- 3:47:495 rebounds, 8.8 assists per game and almost 2 steals.
- 3:47:55Again, she's going to she's going to double her points next
- 3:47:59year. She's going to get between 22
- 3:48:01and 23 points next year. She's going to average probably
- 3:48:04around 7:00 to 8:00 rebounds a game and 10 assists.
- 3:48:07She's going to be a triple double play next year.
- 3:48:11And this team with the Fever doing what they did this year,
- 3:48:15they're going to be even better. They're young team, up and
- 3:48:17coming team and now they get their best player back three
- 3:48:20years. And I said it's going to take
- 3:48:22three years for K and she's going to have a triple double.
- 3:48:24You said close to a triple double.
- 3:48:26She's going to average 28 and 8 or 28 and. 9 That's where I
- 3:48:31think she's going to. Be LeBron James type of numbers.
- 3:48:35I expect Caitlin Clark to be the WNB AM VP next season.
- 3:48:43Book it, ladies and gentlemen, book it.
- 3:48:46I'm telling you, remember I said this, Caitlin Clark, the WNB AM
- 3:48:51VP next year. That's all I'm going to say
- 3:48:54about that. So I got LeBron James going to
- 3:48:57The Mavericks. Speedy, you remember my second
- 3:48:59one? Think about it was it was, oh,
- 3:49:02it was the tank. I forget the that last name
- 3:49:05knockout Jake Paul. That's right.
- 3:49:07I don't remember his last name. Yeah.
- 3:49:10Tank. OK.
- 3:49:10Bronte Davis. Yeah.
- 3:49:11Yeah. Tank Davis.
- 3:49:13And now? Caitlin Clark So.
- 3:49:16I listen. I'm.
- 3:49:17Going 3 for three. Baby, I'm going 3 for three.
- 3:49:21Remember I said this? Caitlin Clark WNBANVP 22 points,
- 3:49:288 or 9 rebounds probably I would say about 8-7 to 8 because she's
- 3:49:33got 5 rebounds a game. She's going to she's going to
- 3:49:36probably put two or three more on that and she has 8.8 assists.
- 3:49:40Put one more on that. 9 assists per game, 9 1/2 assists per
- 3:49:44game. She is going to have a breakout
- 3:49:47season. Best player in the WNBA moving
- 3:49:50forward. Caitlin Clark.
- 3:49:52So Asia Wilson, move out of the way.
- 3:49:55Caitlin is on her way. Did you see, do you see what I
- 3:49:59said? That's a little rhyme for you,
- 3:50:00Speedy. Anyways, that's it for our show.
