been never on this show and we're very excited to get him on
1:58
a show. 2022 safety Hall of Famer, The one and only Hall of
2:05
Famer himself, Leroy Butler. Leroy, What's up, buddy?
2:10
Errol. We have a, We have a Hall of.
2:11
Famer on this camp. That's right, we do.
2:14
Holy cow, thank you so much. Holy shit, like we all.
2:18
Tried to be here we. Weren't as good as you, that's
2:21
for damn sure. Trust.
2:25
But I'll tell you what, you got to do a great job.
2:27
So God made everybody good at something, you know?
2:30
Well, I don't know about that. So there's a lot of people,
2:34
There's a lot of people that think they're better than.
2:36
What they think they are, they made us.
2:38
That's that's a whole. Nother story.
2:39
I'm not on their show though. No, that's true.
2:42
That's true. And I'm happy that you decided
2:44
to come on this show. And you know, it's so
2:46
interesting because Leroy, I remember when that the names
2:51
were getting called up at the award show, that was the year
2:54
that Rivas went in and Joe Klecko went in.
2:56
Joe Klecko was obviously waiting to get in for what, 30-40 years?
3:01
And he finally gets inducted. But Leroy, you stood out more
3:06
than both of those guys. I'm a Rivas fan.
3:08
He's one of the greatest corners of all time.
3:10
But there's only 6 safeties that have ever been inducted into the
3:15
NFL Hall of Fame, and you were the last one inducted.
3:19
Tell us a little bit about your journey to the Hall of Fame.
3:23
The thing about it, most players you don't, if you're not a like
3:27
a number one pick or how highly touted growing up, you really
3:33
don't even think it's a possibility.
3:35
That's why there's few safeties in there.
3:38
But I'll tell you this, when I made the all decade team, I
3:42
remember Lee Rimble, our he was our media guy for the Green Bay
3:46
Packers. He said you made the all decade
3:48
team. And then he just walked by my
3:50
locker and then he came back and he said, if you made all decade,
3:56
you may one day be in the Hall of Fame.
3:59
And at the time I really didn't believe that because I think
4:03
it's about quarterbacks, receivers, I mean, the Lt., the
4:09
Reggie Whites. And then our era I thought about
4:13
it was just obviously Brett and Reggie I thought would be first
4:18
ballots, which they were. And then I started thinking
4:22
about myself and I was a first semifinalist.
4:24
I said, OK, this is fun, but I'm the same guy is baked in the
4:28
cake whether I make it or not. So people really didn't know.
4:31
But 2020, guys, that's when I started to say, man, I was the
4:35
first year finalist, but I saw Roger Staubach getting out of
4:39
the car and he was one of my heroes growing up.
4:43
I didn't even care if I got in. I just saw my goat.
4:47
I'm serious. And I saw Tony Boselli, my
4:49
brother. I mean I love Tony Boselli, but
4:52
he had been a finalist 3 times. And I got to tell you a funny
4:56
story. So we're in.
4:58
Back then you had to be in the hotel and they either knock on
5:02
your door or you get a phone call.
5:05
A phone call when you didn't make it.
5:07
So I have in my real life, my wife, some media.
5:10
Antonio Freeman, one of my teammates, another colleague of
5:15
mine, and we're waiting for a knock or a phone call.
5:18
All of a sudden, I hear a knock on the door and we're in Miami.
5:22
I'm getting excited. I open the door.
5:27
It was Antonio Freeman. I said what?
5:31
He left the room to go get something to eat.
5:34
I'm like, dude, do you know the anxiety?
5:38
Soon as I let him in and he's over there eating his wings, I
5:43
get a phone call. I said that better be an
5:46
ex-girlfriend right now, but that better not be the whole
5:49
fact we're never going to be friends and we all start
5:52
laughing. My wife was laughing too if you
5:54
could believe it. I pick up the phone and Mr.
5:58
Baker says look Mr. Butler, unfortunately you didn't.
6:02
I said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't have to go through all
6:05
that. I'll see you next year.
6:07
I'm fine with it. I saw Roger Starbuck, I'm good
6:12
and then 21 the pandemic 22 I'm at the house and I get a knock
6:20
and Fast forward through most of the that and I saw Woodson in
6:25
his gold jacket. I really didn't think none of
6:28
it, but it feels Brett Favre, I'll say, oh, this is the Hall
6:35
of Fame. Can remember after the pandemic,
6:38
the new president was Jim Porter.
6:41
He had a great idea. Since it was COVID, why don't we
6:45
have a teammate or or somebody that played in the organization
6:52
go to welcome them into the Hall of Fame and what's in it just
6:56
went in. So I was shocked, of course, and
7:00
it was amazing. I was more than happy for my
7:02
teachers. I love teachers, my mom,
7:05
grandparents, my son, my kids and my wife because it was just
7:09
amazing. I was more happy too.
7:11
For the the Packer fans, you know the Packer fans are amazing
7:15
because I only play with one franchise.
7:19
So you were the one who invented the Lambeau Leap back in the day
7:22
in the early 90s. Now we've seen obviously a lot
7:24
of Packers players do it. We've also seen the rival
7:26
players do it in Packers fans like to push them.
7:28
So what is the origin story? Behind that, here's the thing
7:32
1993, none of you were born but 19. 90 I was I.
7:38
Was well, just play along with it.
7:43
So this is my dream. I'm trying to make you younger.
7:46
Now I get over to the locker room and I'm a diva.
7:51
Everybody knows me up in Florida now.
7:54
I've never been to Wisconsin. I've never when they drafted me,
7:57
I've never been to Wisconsin. And I'm thinking, OK, I get over
8:03
there and I look at the thermostat and it's a minus next
8:06
to a 20. I said, guys, do they forfeit
8:09
games? How does this work?
8:12
So the vets are yelling at me, dude, what are you talking
8:14
about? You've been in the league for
8:17
like 2 1/2 years. I'm like, OK, but I needed to
8:21
know how do we survive? Because my refrigerator was 32°
8:26
and I left home. So we're going to die.
8:30
No, no, though they give you stuff to keep you warm.
8:33
Well, anyway, I God is good, really, because this is never
8:38
God. I cause a fumble.
8:41
OK, I see the ball come out, but I can't find it.
8:45
The fields completely frozen and the crowds getting really loud.
8:51
All of a sudden I see Big Dog, which is Reggie White.
8:53
That's his nickname, Big Dog. So Big Dog struggling to run.
8:58
And I see Bryce pop, my teammate, linebacker and our
9:01
other first round pick linebacker in my class, Tony
9:04
Bennett, he fell because he couldn't keep their feet.
9:07
When you see it on YouTube. So guess who did not fall?
9:14
Yourself. Man, this God is good.
9:16
God is good. God is good.
9:20
Everybody fell but me. Even Reggie was falling down
9:26
God. But God say, I mean, since I
9:29
gave you bad feet at birth because I had these bad feet,
9:33
I'm going to give you good feet now, OK?
9:37
And I run over the red. I said ready.
9:38
Spin the ladder of this ball. Hope for any Bears fans, Detroit
9:45
fans or people in our division, the north.
9:51
A lateral is when you throw it behind you.
9:54
But let me get back to the story.
9:57
Reggie laterals me the ball I'm running down.
10:02
I get about the 15 yard line. I lose my mind.
10:07
I say, you know what, I'm gonna jump in the stairs and as I was
10:10
getting closer, the people were yelling because they see me
10:13
scored other half of the people like the ready to step out of
10:18
bounds. Was it really a fumble?
10:22
Like I love your production. I love that while I'm talking
10:25
about it, you can I can. This is amazing.
10:27
Great show. What about there?
10:29
I make my jump and. Wasn't.
10:34
Playing threw me away because when I jumped up there, no, it
10:38
was spontaneous. Can't you tell by this
10:40
interview? Everything is spontaneous.
10:43
I'm serious, that's how that's how I am, is baked in the cake.
10:47
I'm only one way. And when I jumped up there, some
10:51
guy yelled at me. Somebody was not the guy in the
10:53
ass. But don't forget about that
10:54
part. Yeah, somebody was smacking you
10:56
in the ass. That's.
10:56
What? I know, right?
10:57
I didn't even get it. I didn't even get his phone
11:02
number. That's for Pride Month.
11:04
So when I get up there, a guy spilled his beer on me.
11:10
He says, man, you owe me a beer. I spilled my beer.
11:14
It did. I came down, went to the bench
11:17
and I, you'll see Farve come over there with this Superman
11:19
Cape. You get this like this Cape on
11:22
'cause you just, you just throw it off and run in the game.
11:26
And we did some weird dance and Doug Evans came out there.
11:29
I remember going to the bench and hung them, says boy, they're
11:32
going to find your ass. I said, why?
11:35
I'm celebrating with a owner. Well, what do you mean?
11:39
Well, we don't have the owner. Our owners are shareholders.
11:43
I want to show them thank you for staying to the game.
11:46
We were winning like 20. We won 28 to nothing.
11:49
If you're sitting in that cold weather drinking beer, I think I
11:53
should jump up and hug you. And that's how the lead was
11:56
born. That's, that's crazy.
12:00
A Leroy. I, I, my dad got the epidemic in
12:04
polio in 52. And so he, he went through a lot
12:10
and I, I had just lost him three months ago.
12:14
But my condolences. As as an athlete, you going
12:18
through what you went through, what made you keep like, keep
12:25
the grind? Like Dad, Dad was always my
12:28
grind. Yeah, because I was doing
12:31
something that my dad couldn't do.
12:34
And you having limitations when, when you were born and all the
12:38
other stuff, like what pushed you was it?
12:41
Was it the drive for the sport? Was it your parents?
12:45
Was it just your love for the game?
12:48
I always love to see this because it's like when you go
12:51
through something like that, people don't understand that.
12:55
And I I love these stories. Well, it wasn't a passion for
13:01
the game. It wasn't anything.
13:06
It's kind of hard to describe when you grow up in poverty.
13:10
I grew up in the inner city. It's called the Blodgett homes.
13:14
Lot of crime, violence, and I always heard these stories.
13:18
If you have a father in the house, your kids are criminals
13:22
because my mom raised 5 kids by herself and you got two of my
13:28
brothers. Thank you.
13:29
I appreciate that. My brothers, two of my brothers
13:33
were in the military. My sister was a nurse.
13:36
So and then you got a special education student like myself,
13:42
that kids bullied me all the time.
13:45
I mean, I'm in the Deep South now.
13:47
So that's hard enough for you to go through.
13:50
But now you go through having braces and things of that
13:54
nature. And I, if I ever meet Tom Hanks,
13:56
I'm going to say, listen, I was forced gun way before you made
13:59
that move. You'll miss some money because
14:03
there was no running, no jumping.
14:05
My mom, I'm in Florida. We used to sit on the porch
14:08
outside. I I could in the swimming pool
14:12
for the community was 100 feet away.
14:15
This huge pool I couldn't go because I can't swim.
14:19
I got brace on my legs. I'm extremely pigeon to old, but
14:23
every single day I had the same smile.
14:26
And my grandmother really brought it home because I used
14:29
to be very shy, like really shy. Like no eye contact, look to the
14:34
ground. And she said, listen, you need
14:36
to talk to people because you're really funny, like your
14:40
grandfather. I said, yeah, but kids are
14:42
really mean and things like that.
14:44
She said, well, they ain't up to them.
14:46
You got to determine what you want to do.
14:48
And that's what I told. I'm playing in the NFL to get my
14:50
mom. I didn't use the word poverty.
14:53
I use the word poor. And now I was laser focused on
14:58
that. There was no Plan B in my mind.
15:01
It was going to work. If I encountered somebody, I
15:04
told them I'm playing in the NFL, of course they're going to
15:08
deny it. But it ain't up to them.
15:10
It's up to me. And yes, I had a lot of luck
15:13
along the way. But when you say grind my mom,
15:20
like your dad, my mom got up, catch a bus at 3:30 in the
15:26
morning just to carpool to go to work.
15:31
My sister, who's like my other hero, couldn't boil water.
15:37
We didn't have a microwave, but she was just a terrible cook.
15:41
I hope she's not listening to this program.
15:43
Probably not, but that's where I developed my culinary skills.
15:49
So I did the cooking and my sister got the groceries, and I
15:54
just watched my mom. I watched my grandmother, I
15:58
watched my grandfather. And then it really came home.
16:02
My grandmother gave me $0.50 every time in church she sold
16:07
Avon. It was like this cosmetic stuff.
16:11
Yeah. Oh, that's that's just the
16:13
Gertrude take him there taking her stuff taking us stay soft
16:17
fro or whatever this stuff taking the lotion take take this
16:20
this Mr. taking that the after shave that I would deliver in
16:25
church, hustling in church. God know my heart.
16:28
Don't judge me. I had $5 at the end of every
16:34
week in a shoe box and that's what taught me about work and
16:40
along the lines I expected to make it and what I did.
16:45
My mom said be the same guy, don't let success change you
16:51
because you work too hard for it.
16:54
And that's after that, being 8 years old, being in a hostile
17:01
environment and things just kind of worked out for me.
17:05
Leroy, let me tell you something.
17:06
First of all, we have interviewed a lot of ex athletes
17:10
in their car. You're not the first.
17:11
So this is that's, that's the crazy thing.
17:14
It's it seems like every athlete wants to hide from their wife or
17:18
hide from their family because the kids are people are
17:21
screaming. In the house.
17:22
First, first of all, Leroy, are you trying to make me cry?
17:25
Because she said man, like golly, that was that was my dad
17:31
and I miss my dad every day and. As you should.
17:38
To hear you say that about your mother and and what you did
17:43
awesome man by. The way that's the legacy
17:46
though, that's the legacy. Your parents leave their legacy
17:49
for you. You can't forget that 'cause
17:53
he's watching his son now and he's proud of you.
17:56
Well, it's my. Father.
17:58
My father My father passed away about nine years ago.
18:00
This year was nine years. May 5th was when my father
18:05
passed away. It's a that ever since my father
18:08
passed away, it's been different for me and my family.
18:11
It it absolutely has my sisters, my nieces, my nephews.
18:14
They were very, very close with my father, so I know what it.
18:17
I know what it is to have. Yeah, it is.
18:20
It is 100%. By the way, for all the fans
18:22
that don't know, we are speaking to 2022 Packers Hall of Famer
18:27
safety Leroy Butler. Now, Leroy, you mentioned Brett
18:30
Favre and I, I watched the documentary the 30 for 30.
18:35
Well, it was, I'm sorry, the untold, the untold Netflix
18:38
documentary and they betrayed him.
18:41
They betrayed him to be a really, really bad dude.
18:43
Now I I don't know Brett Favre personally.
18:46
I really don't. But.
18:48
You played with him really at the upscale of his career and
18:52
and when he really became one of the top quarterbacks, he won
18:56
four MVP's in a row. He will will go down as the,
19:00
the, to me, the, the, the sling thrower, that's what they used
19:03
to call him. And he had probably one of the
19:05
greatest storms of all time and these stories coming out and,
19:09
and really burying him as a player and, and what he did off
19:13
the field and how he took advantage of people.
19:16
Why don't you tell the fans a little bit about Brett Favre as
19:19
a person, a guy that you obviously grew up with and got a
19:23
chance to know? Well, I just saw him like a week
19:25
and a half ago. We had a golf tournament, told
19:28
him we were doing a kind of a benefit for a mental health
19:37
therapy company, which I get therapy every Thursday, and I
19:43
did it basically through phone call because I've got another
19:48
golf tournament for Junior Achievement.
19:51
But what I told him a week ago, the people here, we had
19:55
something that it was like 2 or 300 people, the people here.
20:01
They don't. They don't care about that
20:04
because people know that it was coming out.
20:08
Don't even talk about that, Just tell her what?
20:12
So that was one event. Then we went to a second event
20:15
and he had a little anxiety. It's Wisconsin.
20:18
We don't even have TMZ here. There's no media here following
20:23
you around. Be yourself.
20:26
That's baked in the cake. Everybody know that story.
20:28
It's new to a lot of people, but I didn't know that they could
20:31
put out stuff about you without you using your likeliness and
20:36
stuff like that of that nature. But all that stuff is it was
20:41
nothing new. So you know your fans going to
20:47
support you, but in this day and age with the Diddy stuff.
20:56
Oh, the diddler. All the other, I mean, a lot of,
21:00
I mean, sending pictures, I thought that's how you make your
21:07
career. I just go to Herschel career.
21:10
That was a hit scratcher for me. I mean, she missed the window.
21:14
That window closed, huh? Yeah.
21:17
Come on, man. This thing was gone.
21:23
Come back. We knew this stuff already.
21:26
Yeah, yeah. That Busby guy, that lawyer
21:28
they'd be calling up, they'd be trying to get me and me.
21:31
And she missed that one, though. So if your fans, they support
21:39
you on and off the field, not again having transgressions and
21:43
having some issues and he's on Parkinson's skill and you still
21:52
do some horrible stuff. Now you can't get around that.
21:56
One of the most horrible thing is owing me $13 when I beat him
22:01
and call. That's more egregious than
22:05
Netflix. I want my $13 and when I went up
22:08
to ask the beat, thought I forgot $13.
22:12
I forgot. I got, I got, I got a dude like
22:15
that too. I got called up to AA and I
22:18
moved in and he got sent down. I was like, hey, I still, you
22:22
owe me $142.37 still remember. To this day.
22:27
Leroy. I I was paying the electric
22:30
bill, dog, I was paying the electric.
22:32
Bill Leroy. But what what?
22:33
What type of player was Brett Favre on the football field?
22:36
What type of leader was he and what type of personality was he
22:42
on and off the field? Again, certain players is baked
22:46
in the cake. He's just like me.
22:49
He's only one way. He lived his life back then.
22:55
A little risky, he on the field a little risky, but that's what
23:00
I wanted. I remember through an
23:02
interception in practice, he's very upset.
23:05
I said wait, wait, don't do that.
23:06
Don't kick the grass. It's my job to get it back.
23:10
And on the rare occasion somebody caught a cut down on
23:13
me, I'm thinking on the bench, man, I'm a bit on Sports Center.
23:16
He would hit Sterling Sharp, the newly inducted into Hall of Fame
23:20
80 yard bomb. Guess what?
23:22
They forget about what I did. So we help each other.
23:27
Anybody can have a friend where your Hall of Famer and things
23:31
are going great. You have a friend somebody talk
23:34
to when things go bad. But the thing that really
23:38
changed quickly was Reggie White.
23:40
Reggie White was obviously people thought he was their
23:43
leader. Reggie White gets up and he says
23:49
it's not my team. I said, what's your meaning?
23:52
It's not a team. Yeah, it's not my team.
23:55
It's Brett Favre's team. I said, wait a minute, Brett
23:58
Favre don't give speeches. He just plays.
24:01
But everybody remember my grandmother said this.
24:04
God made everybody good at something.
24:07
Because if you think about Reggie was correct and when he
24:10
said that in a meeting, man, Brett was in the back.
24:13
He was teaching me how to play backgammon.
24:14
It was like, man, why do white people play Batman?
24:17
What is this stuff? Like he said we play sheepshead
24:21
to us or what is that? And he said, what, y'all apply?
24:23
So we play spades. Next thing I know Reggie's
24:28
calling him up front. You're the face of the
24:30
franchise. And Reggie was right.
24:33
You know why? Troy Aikman, the face of the
24:36
franchise for Dallas. Steve Young, face of the
24:39
franchise for San Francisco. Our face was Reggie White.
24:44
Reggie thought to help the team. Don't look at me as the face
24:50
breasted face because I wasn't a rah rah guy.
24:53
Neither was Brett. And then he didn't want to give
24:56
no speeches. But when he first went in, we
24:59
took over from McCaskill and throw the pass.
25:02
Only he can throw. I said, well, I like this guy.
25:05
Yeah, we're good. Yeah, we're good.
25:07
If you think you can make that throw, make it.
25:09
And that's why we love playing with him and for him.
25:12
Go back and look when his dad passed away and we talk about
25:15
fathers on this show and mothers.
25:18
When his dad died, he said, I'm still playing.
25:21
I remember his ankle with the color of a crayon box.
25:24
I said maybe your leg or pussy, you can't play.
25:27
He said, Roy Lee, ain't nothing wrong with my arm.
25:30
I'm playing he. I mean, it's hard to argue with.
25:35
I know they go by the Goats with championships.
25:39
It's hard to argue with a guy that never missed a game and he
25:43
played for. Leroy has nothing to do.
25:47
You can win 1,000,000 championships.
25:49
As much as they want to say Tom Brady is the greatest player,
25:53
the the greatest quarterback of all time, I'm still taking Joe
25:56
Montana over him. I'm sorry, I'm taking Joe
25:58
Montana over him and in the same.
26:00
Thing that's good, yeah, that's. Good and and I and I look at
26:04
accomplishments and what they have done through
26:06
accomplishments and Brett Farve, if you look at what he's done, I
26:10
know a lot of people compare Brett Farve and Bart's, Bart
26:14
Stall Barr and now Aaron Rodgers when they've had, you know, the
26:18
Green Bay Packers have had super quarterbacks and and even
26:22
coaches. Holmgren, he was a successful
26:25
coach over there. You have obviously one of the
26:27
greatest. Some people would say the
26:29
greatest coach of all time in the 50s.
26:32
So we all know and Lombardi. So we all understand the
26:35
background of the Green Bay Packers.
26:37
But people forget, like you said, Reggie White and what
26:40
Reggie White was. And I think Reggie White is the
26:42
greatest. And by the way, Lawrence Taylor,
26:44
everybody says is the greatest defensive lineman of all time.
26:47
Lawrence Taylor came out and I've, I've quote, UN quote,
26:50
heard him say this numerous amount of times when I've been
26:53
around him and he said the best defensive player of all time is
26:58
Reggie White. Big Dog amazing in Super Bowl
27:02
31. I got it on VHS so I know it's
27:05
true on. Super Bowl 31.
27:08
You know it's true if you have it on VHS.
27:11
And beta old people out there, I say, listen, Big Dog, what you
27:18
going to do, man? Big Dog went out there and
27:19
that's his nickname. Big Dog.
27:21
When I then got them two sacks, I said we went in the Super
27:24
Bowl. They couldn't block him.
27:25
They couldn't block him. And the guy was amazing.
27:28
I mean, and the and the thing about Reggie real quick was he
27:33
sued the league to be a free agent.
27:35
I remember that by the way. And he came to the smallest
27:38
market, the Green Bay Packers. That's a great story.
27:41
But here's here's another thing that people don't realize.
27:44
Reggie was playing professional football in another league and
27:48
before he even came to the NFL, he had like 80 or 90 sacks
27:52
before he even stepped on an NFL field.
27:54
If you look at Reggie White's career and you compare both of
27:57
them put together, he would have over 230 sacks in his career.
28:03
So and that would be double the amount of what he What do you
28:07
have over there in the NFL? Who, by the way, who leads the
28:10
guy that leads the NFL in sacks of all time?
28:13
Reggie White. The Memphis showboats, I think
28:15
that's who we play for in the USFL.
28:16
Yep, Yep. The guy was amazing, Man, that
28:19
guy was amazing. He had his hump move.
28:22
I said they know why they blocking you with one guy and
28:28
when they doubled him, that's when I got my 20 1/2 sack.
28:31
So they said well we got to pick our poison, what do we do?
28:34
But they got amazing to play with.
28:36
It really was. Sure, you've heard about all
28:37
this Aaron Rodgers drama that's been going on.
28:39
Obviously you played with the Packers a little before that.
28:42
But what are your thoughts to everything that's gone on when
28:44
he was a Packer in the last couple years now with The Jets
28:46
and the Steelers? Listen, if I'm 40, going to be
28:50
42 years old, damn right, I'm taking a whole offseason off.
28:55
Yeah, I ain't coming in no OTA. No, I ain't doing that.
28:58
I'm going to go to the Amazon and search for a rare beetle.
29:02
Only I can find it. And I'm going to walk on the
29:05
beach and my photographer gets this amazing picture of me with
29:11
no shoes on looking up at the Suns coming up or down, I don't
29:15
know. And people were like, he's
29:18
married because he has a ring on.
29:19
I'm like, listen, it it don't matter if he's not in there by
29:23
mandatory mini camp, then Pittsburgh, you dug yourself a
29:31
hole. So I think he'll be there
29:34
tonight. I think.
29:35
But for the most part, though, this had better work.
29:40
That's the only thing I'm saying or this gone.
29:43
Tom ain't going to take a dip. They're going to take a dip.
29:46
I think it's going to this goes real bad.
29:49
They're going to take. AI think it's going to hit
29:51
Tomlin right square in his forehead.
29:53
I as much as I love Aaron. Ross, they got to win the Super
29:55
Bowl. They.
29:56
They got to make the. Playoffs get a 40 to your
29:58
quarterback. Now you don't get a 40 to your
30:01
quarterback for one year to just make the playoffs.
30:05
They did that last year. Russell Woods.
30:07
You have to get to and win a super.
30:10
Bowl Leroy, You know the two hardest divisions in football is
30:13
the AFC North and the NFC North. Everybody knows it.
30:17
The Green Bay Packers division. You have Minnesota and Chicago
30:22
and the Lions. I mean, they're stacked.
30:24
And then you go to the North, you got Baltimore, obviously,
30:28
you got the Bengals. You now you have the Pittsburgh
30:32
Steelers and you have the lonely Browns.
30:33
We all know what the Browns are. They're a laughing stock.
30:35
But nevertheless, they pay Miles Garrett $40 million a year.
30:39
I have no idea what they're they're thinking.
30:41
They're giving Deshaun Watson, they gave him a 240 million
30:45
dollar guarantee contract after he was, you know, getting his
30:49
change jerked a couple of times a year.
30:50
So I mean, obviously we know the whole story.
30:53
So we all know that the divisions and, and, and again,
30:57
you say Pittsburgh needs to win a Super Bowl.
30:59
Pittsburgh's got to make the playoffs.
31:00
And, and I'm going to tell you this right now, Aaron Rodgers
31:04
going over there, Tomlin's had a winning record his whole career.
31:07
If Aaron Rodgers doesn't, if he goes there this year and they
31:11
don't have a winning record and they miss out on the playoffs,
31:13
who do you think they're going to be pointing their fingers?
31:15
Aaron Rodgers, so. Well, it'll be another Netflix
31:19
special. You have two.
31:20
Oh. Please I don't want to talk
31:23
about his Netflix that'll he made The Jets dude.
31:28
He made The Jets look like a joke.
31:31
He made The Jets organization even look worse than they ever
31:34
did when he went. Oh, we, we couldn't get past it
31:37
without having to bring up The Jets.
31:40
Well, first. Never.
31:42
They haven't been to the playoffs since Leroy Leroy over
31:46
the 9th grade. Stop Leroy Leroy.
31:50
It's not that long. It's. 15 years ago, it's 15.
31:54
Years. It's timeout of you're not being
31:55
born in 93. It was the Rex Ryan.
31:58
Moby Dick was a minnow. Now we're going to talk.
32:02
About a well we're talking about well, he had to start from his
32:05
parents. He was small and it took the
32:08
long time to grow. We all came from a nut sack, it
32:14
happens. Well, I don't know, Jabba, I
32:17
don't know where you came from, OK, You're not human.
32:21
You're like a little tadpole. You're like a tadpole, OK,
32:25
That's probably that's where Jabba, that's where Jabba comes
32:27
from. But I, I, I, you guys are funny.
32:30
It's crazy, man. I, I think that your story and,
32:33
and by the way, I got a chance to kind of see the background of
32:37
who you are and, and how, how your journey began and where you
32:41
really finished. It's an amazing story And, and
32:44
even you telling us the story about the Hall of Fame and, and
32:47
how you got there and, and during COVID, that's even more
32:50
interesting. But you know, what's even more
32:52
interesting about you more than anything is people forget that
32:57
if you look at the Packers and how many Hall of Famers from the
33:01
90s to the early 2000s have gone in a lot more than you think.
33:06
And I, I don't have the number, but I if I'm not mistaken there
33:09
has been 5 Packers from from 88 to 2003 that have gone to the
33:17
Hall of Fame. Did you know that?
33:19
I just noted the one that people keep bringing up because I live
33:22
in Milwaukee, that the Bears has one or two more guys and then we
33:27
do. And and guys really, because
33:30
sometimes you pick up multiple teams, you don't really go in as
33:33
a team, but when you did most of your damage, like Aaron Rodgers,
33:37
because you can be first ballast.
33:40
I mean, I think they'll either tie them or it would be down by
33:43
1. So overall, the Bears, they are
33:46
everywhere I go, people hold that over our heads.
33:49
They do. They just do.
33:50
They just want the overall record, not the modern record.
33:54
So Leroy, when when you guys go to the Hall of Fame, like
33:58
baseball, they they choose a hat for them and obviously like you
34:02
just said that a lot of guys play for.
34:04
Yeah, we don't. Yeah, we don't.
34:05
Yeah, we don't do it. It's just a gold jacket.
34:10
Yeah, but but to your question though, all four, if say you
34:17
play with four teams, we'll let's do it like this real
34:19
quick. They could have a Aaron Rodgers
34:21
day at Atlanta, which they will, and we'll put his name up.
34:23
The Jets are going to do that because he was there for enough
34:27
for coke and a smile. Like I like to pray Pittsburgh
34:31
don't do that. He played one season there and
34:32
they're going, they're going to go 6 and 11 and they'll put his
34:36
name up. You can do as many parties if
34:39
you want. Is that kind of up to you and
34:40
the team? So most guys usually pick the
34:44
team that he played with the longest.
34:48
So and do you also see guys signing back with the team to
34:53
finish as that player? Now that player will only talk
34:57
about that team, but I don't think Aaron.
34:59
'S finished their career that way.
35:02
Yeah, I don't think Aaron's going to do that, but we're
35:04
welcome them back. Once, you know, he, you know,
35:09
the Ravens blitz everybody at him and he said, man, you know
35:12
what? Maybe I need to go get some
35:14
ayahuasca and chill out. This is not.
35:17
So by the way, I'm getting the numbers right now, there have
35:19
been 4 from 1990 to 2024 that have gone to the Hall of Fame
35:27
from the Green Bay Packers, 4. So that's.
35:30
Nice. And and especially Sterling,
35:31
yeah. So I'm, I'm kind of, I'm just
35:35
looking, I know Brett Favre, I know you, I know Woodson,
35:40
actually 5 And then you have Matthews.
35:44
And if I'm not mistaken, it was it.
35:46
Who was the other guy? Who was the other driver?
35:49
No, it wasn't Donald Trump, Donald.
35:50
Trump No. No, no, no.
35:51
No, Campman. It was it Was it Campman.
35:53
Aaron Campman. Campman, Aaron Campman, that
35:56
was. That was it.
35:57
But Roy, that was a quick no, no, no on Donald Driver.
35:59
Well, y'all talk about it. Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame.
36:02
Green Bay Packer. Hall of football.
36:04
Green Bay Packer. OK, my bad, my bad.
36:06
Green Bay Packer. All Pro Football.
36:08
Well, Pro Football is a. Little different.
36:10
Yeah, it's a little limited. I think Matthews is still trying
36:12
to get in. He does.
36:12
Matthews is getting in, yeah. Yeah, I don't think Campman will
36:15
get in. He's a good player, but not Hall
36:16
of Famer. Yeah, but in is basically my
36:23
era, me, Brett and Reggie Woodson, Sterling, but Kramer
36:31
and Dave Robinson got in a few years back at the waiting 38, I
36:37
think 40 years. Yeah, Kramer was a.
36:39
While and Leroy was was was sterling better than Shannon?
36:45
Oh, yeah, yes, yes, 100 percent, 100%.
36:50
I've never played in the NFL. I'm I'm asking Hall of.
36:53
Fame. No, it's OK.
36:53
No, no, it's OK. They're both great.
36:56
Players, you know they're right. You know that they're both great
36:59
players, they're both sensational players, but
37:02
Sterling was definitely better yeah than Shannon.
37:05
I said if Sterling sure I would have played four more years,
37:08
he'd be to go. He did 100 catches when he
37:11
doubled and who cares? Just throw it to me, Brett, I'll
37:13
catch you. Not in fantasy football.
37:15
Everybody got 100 catches. The man was truly amazing.
37:17
So he's he's a little shy right now, so he's not been making a
37:20
lot of appearances, but still in sharp great.
37:24
Other than you've obviously you've talked about Reggie,
37:26
right, Who was the best player or most athletic that you ever
37:32
played with and the the play with out of it or against or
37:38
against? The most himself?
37:44
No, I didn't think. Out himself.
37:47
I I wouldn't because I don't want a lot of y'all.
37:49
I don't know, let me see. I Randy Moss is sick.
37:59
I don't know if he's human, but the the best athlete of all time
38:05
in any sport, football bat. It's don't matter that he was
38:11
born a grown man. It's Deion Sanders.
38:15
He's not even close. He didn't have to work out.
38:18
He didn't have to run. He was born with grown man
38:22
lungs, all of his teeth. I think he got married at 3.
38:26
This guy was just better than everybody.
38:31
It just, and he taught me how to protect your brand.
38:38
We got everything. We play intramural basketball.
38:40
We were not playing until he got there.
38:42
I said, where is he? Well, he's qualified for the 100
38:45
meters for the Olympics. Why?
38:48
Because he can. So so I I got a question for.
38:52
You before we let. You go.
38:53
I have to I have to ask you this question because you mention
38:56
him. Did Deion Sanders hurt his son's
38:59
draft stock because of. What he was saying.
39:02
Or was it your door? Just opening his mouth at the
39:05
combine, not speaking or saying the right things the way he
39:09
should have. Well, it's definitely an idea
39:12
because we've seen other fathers.
39:14
Eli Manning, he ain't playing for the Chargers and get him
39:19
over to the Giants. That's that's not unprecedented,
39:24
but interviews and work out if I think if they had to do it
39:30
again, this is my opinion. I would have had them playing in
39:34
the Senior Bowl so the teams can work with him and see him
39:42
because that's where you make your jump to all the kids out
39:46
there. The biggest thing going to the
39:49
Senior Bowl, not the combine, I would advocate if you're not
39:56
going to work out, don't even go.
39:58
Let another kid go from another school to work that wants to
40:02
work out. I would say my son is playing
40:07
single bowl so you can see all everything.
40:10
He'll be coached by pro people and they'll see.
40:14
And after that, I think he would have got drafted, hired, maybe.
40:21
You never know at this point, but certainly.
40:25
I don't think you can say anything that somebody would
40:30
say. Somebody said something and I'm
40:34
not going to draft him. But I will say this, though, I
40:37
will say this, I will say this, I will say this.
40:41
Pittsburgh, if that kid go up to Cleveland and plays well,
40:47
Pittsburgh is not going to recover because instead of
40:50
drafting him you're chose another route.
40:54
Which is fine. The Jackson Dart kid.
40:57
They got 26,000 quarterbacks with the Giants.
40:59
And he proved himself. Back in the 1st.
41:01
He I was just about to say that Jackson Dart really stuffed up
41:05
in the Senior Bowl and that's why he moved up in the draft.
41:07
A lot of people thought Jackson Dart.
41:09
Was. More than a third round draft
41:11
pick. He went all the way into the
41:13
first round to the Giants because of what he did in the
41:15
Senior Bowl. So I absolutely agree with you.
41:18
I like the Senior Bowl. Yeah, that was my point.
41:22
The Senior Bowl, everybody's there.
41:26
You can't hide and you run through it.
41:29
But then you can talk about the Saints car retired.
41:34
You didn't even take a quarterback.
41:35
OK, say you don't want to take him now move back and get him
41:39
and develop them so all the teams that passed on him.
41:45
History will prove who was right if he plays and then turns out
41:51
to be a great wait. But we got to also say something
41:56
to real quick. The NFL don't always get it
41:59
right. They don't.
42:01
Who thought they they draft rooms, All 32 of them.
42:07
Mel Kiper's an. Idiot.
42:08
I'm in a person, Mel. Kiper's an idiot.
42:10
He has no idea, no. No, he has no idea what.
42:12
He's doing. He doesn't know anything, dude.
42:16
Dude, if you ever look at his board.
42:18
Mel Kiper. The guy's blind.
42:20
He is blind. Have you ever seen his draft
42:23
boards? This some of the worst draft
42:25
boards I've ever seen in my and ESP NS paying them.
42:28
He's he's making like 8 figures sitting there and talking his
42:31
crap. How do you watch football?
42:33
Why you hate? Why you hate that True Mel?
42:36
Kiper is horrible. It's horrible, Leroy.
42:39
Mel Mel Kiper is the goat. Oh, stop it, stop it.
42:44
I just said everybody don't. I would take Mel Kiper over
42:49
anybody out there doing any kind of draft stuff.
42:52
I would. I'm just just take my word for
42:55
it. This guy puts in a lot of work.
42:58
When we're sleeping Mel Kiper up, talking to people, looking
43:01
at film. The guys amazing.
43:04
Don't like air. It's still great.
43:06
So he's not hanging out with Deshaun Watson or Bill, you
43:09
know, You know Robert. Cray, you going, You going.
43:12
You're going to argue with the Hall of Famer.
43:13
You're going to argue with the. Hall of Famer.
43:15
I'm just saying I'm just. If you look at Mel Kiper, if you
43:18
look at his draft board over the last 15 years, he has absolutely
43:22
struck out in practically every single draft.
43:25
Well, see, see see here's here's where we can agree to disagree.
43:29
He would never strike out. And why?
43:33
Guess why he's not picking the players the teams are striking
43:38
out. So because you can't go by what
43:42
Mel Kiper say, go look at your own tape.
43:46
These scouts. That's just the lazy way these
43:50
scouts do. I just look at Mel Kiper and
43:52
then when Mel Kiper gets it wrong, you're like, oh, that
43:54
player didn't go. But if you do the history on Mel
43:57
Kiper, you say look at the history of all the players.
44:01
He projected a lot of them in the Hall of Fame.
44:07
I mean, he's the goat. He is the goat all.
44:10
Right, Leroy, I, you know I. Love it could be a Billy goat.
44:12
It could be a Billy goat. It's old now, but that's tip of
44:16
the sword. It's a.
44:18
Billy Goat? Is that what you're making?
44:19
Agree to disagree. Listen, listen.
44:21
You know what your new nickname is?
44:22
It's Leroy the Billy Goat Butler.
44:28
I'm a trademark dad. Leroy, I want you to do
44:35
something before you go, OK? I want to.
44:37
I want to get this recorded, OK? I want everybody to mute their
44:40
mics because I want you to record this.
44:43
I want you to say you are now listening.
44:45
This is Leroy Butler's. This is Leroy.
44:48

45:20

But we know what we're talking about.

we're looking forward to getting you on.
47:57
Again, you're sensational. Thank you so much guys.
48:02
Congratulations. As as a kid from the Midwest,
48:05
you know, we, we, we had a Mon Green and the Packers and we had
48:09
all that stuff. So I was fortunate enough to
48:12
watch you and, and do that and you were fantastic and
48:15
everything you did, man, it was it was, it was awesome.
48:18
And then? Thank you so much.
48:19
Your your stories about your mom and you know how that is.
48:23
It really touched me. And you know, it's kind of how I
48:25
grew up with with my father. So meant a lot to me and I
48:29
appreciate your time. Hey, no problem.
48:32
Again, thank you so much guys. I'll stay up.
48:35
We're going to stay up and tell your son or whoever was going
48:37
into the back of the car. We love you too, buddy.
48:39
Yeah, that's my side and I. I saw him waving behind you.
48:43
I saw him baby, baby, baby. So we but.
48:47
We really loves it. Yeah.
48:48
Well, we really love you and and the fact that you gave us 40
48:51
minutes of your time just says a lot about who you are as a
48:54
person. So we really appreciate it.
48:58
All right. Take care guys.
48:59
Let's give him a golf clap, ladies and gentlemen.
49:02
A little golf clap for Leroy Butler, ladies and gentlemen.
49:06
He was sensational. Dude, we just had a Hall of
49:09
Famer, Yeah. We've had a couple of Hall of
49:12
Famers on this. Show.
49:14
Yeah, he's really cool and you want to know something?
49:16
He's a great personality. I was ecstatic to get him on
49:20
when Speedy said that. Wow, guys, his agent was on.
49:24
His stories were great. He was fantastic.
49:26
It was worth every bit of the wait.
49:29
So what are we? Are we going to get the?
49:31
It looks like it looks like they both had to go.
49:33
I have their picks. I'm going to.
49:35
Apologize to them. Yeah, I've already done that in
49:38
the betting chat unfortunately. But Leroy was awesome.
49:41
W did send some CFL picks. He sent CFL picks.
49:45
One of them already happened. I mentioned in the private chat
49:47
he had Montreal tonight versus Toronto -5 tomorrow he's got
49:51
Calgary. Sam Peters is all CFL on the
49:53
money line. Toronto +44 point 5 and then the
49:58
BC lions -5 1/2 in that game. Saskatchewan -3 and then Reno.
50:03
Johnny's he had the Orioles tomorrow.
50:06
He there's no line out set for it, but they're playing against
50:08
the A's but likely to be -130 and then Oilers in both Game 2
50:13
and game three of the Stanley Cup.
50:14
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we have a new segment.
50:18
We call this Spitty's A Speedy's 6 Pack of the Week.
50:24
Let's have a sixer. Hey, who wants to play Drink the
50:27
Beer? It's time for the Speedy 6 pack
50:29
of the week. All right, here we are.
50:35
Speedy 6 pack our new segment. Every show we're going to do
50:40
something. We're speedy.
50:42
You're going to come up with six different facts or stats about a
50:46
game or an event and you're going to read them off to us.
50:50
So Speedy, we're going to put you over here on the side and
50:53
you're going to start talking about.
50:54
We've got some music, really. Exciting Game 1 and I got music
50:58
coming in right now. Damn, I didn't I didn't know
51:00
Speedy's ABS looked that good. Speedy's 6 pack is impressive.
51:03
It doesn't. It's not.
51:05
That all right? I like this.
51:08
Good choice, fish. All right, so first one of the
51:10
day. This is the two Selkie Trophy
51:13
centers we were talking about on Monday, Barkov and Reinhardt.
51:16
Meanwhile, the Panthers just possessed the puck 41.5% of the
51:19
time with him on the ice and 38.9 with Reinhardt on the ice.
51:24
Doesn't seem like they're getting a lot of defense and
51:25
takeaways against those Edmonton big guns.
51:31
All right, well, what? What?
51:32
What can I? That's what you have.
51:34
Give me a Brady. Well, yeah, the instrumentals of
51:37
this song, that's what we should have.
51:40
Yeah. Go ahead, go ahead.
51:42
So yeah, it's it's something that you would think that a team
51:45
like the Florida Panthers, especially face off wise and
51:48
defensively, the way they are able to stick handle should be
51:50
able to get them out of the zone a lot faster.
51:52
They were not able to do that on that end.
51:54
And then it leads me to the the second part of the six pack as
51:57
well. Leon Dry Seidel on the other
51:59
extreme, 67% of the time he was on the ice, they had the puck
52:03
and 60.6 in the offensive zone alone.
52:07
Which leads me to believe that these either the line
52:10
combinations were not working with Paul Maurice as much as
52:13
they probably should have or the Rangers.
52:16
Ex head coach Chris Knobloch did not do as well did a great job
52:20
in terms of getting those matchups to keep them off the
52:23
ice in the matchups that they get him off the ice against
52:27
those two sulky trophy guys or something that the Rangers did
52:29
not do very well last year with their centers.
52:31
And that's why Mika's the Benjet had those awful awful post
52:33
season stuff like that. But Knobloch was able to do with
52:36
his stars and all of the other other depth pieces that we were
52:38
mentioning. Fish, you were concerned about
52:40
Zach Hyman's presence not being there.
52:41
But those other depth players did a very good job even
52:43
possessing the puck too. So these people believe they
52:46
possessed the puck very well. What are your guys thoughts?
52:51
What was that? What was that music over there?
52:53
I'm trying to get you the instrumental version.
52:55
Give me a. Break.
52:56
It's horrible. I could get the instrumentals,
52:59
but I can't do it on I. Got it, I got it took.
53:01
Me a Well, we got it on, so you might as well not even play it.
53:04
It's not. It's maybe next time.
53:06
So do you have any answers to what he was saying about these
53:09
stupid analytics? I mean, I have no, I have
53:14
nothing to say about the analytics here with the what was
53:17
the question, Speedy? It was all over the place with
53:20
these analytics. It wasn't a question, it was
53:21
just mentioning how the Panthers were barely able to possess the
53:25
puck about 40% combined with both their sulky trophy guys on
53:28
the ice versus Leon Dry Seidel 67% of the time he had.
53:31
The puck, well, dry. Settle hasn't had a really good
53:33
playoff run. He's one of the best offensive
53:35
players over the last, I would say the last 10 years.
53:38
If you look at his numbers, they're comparable to Mario
53:41
Lemieux. If you go look at the top ten
53:43
offensive players in NHL history, Dry Saddles up there
53:46
throughout the playoffs. He's been up and down.
53:48
Now I said that Dry Saddle could really take off in this series,
53:52
and you're seeing it right now. I think Dry Saddle is one of the
53:54
best offensive players in the league.
53:56
You see what he did in game #1 and I wasn't surprised when it
54:00
went to overtime that Edmonton was going to pull it out.
54:02
When you have guys like Connor McDavid and Dry Saddle doing
54:05
what they have done over the last couple years.
54:07
A matter of fact, I am not. I don't know the number, so
54:09
don't call me on this. Edmonton, when they go into
54:12
overtime, they have, they've won most of the majority of their
54:16
games in the playoffs. When they go to overtime, I
54:18
think they're statistic and I again, don't call me on this.
54:21
It's got to be over 75%. It's got to be and it's the most
54:24
that they've won in a single postseason already with with
54:27
overtime games. There's actually been 21
54:29
overtime games in that in the span, which is already on pace
54:33
to be a record as well in a single postseason.
54:36
All right, Fish, do you have any thoughts or you want me to move
54:37
on to another? Now get go to the next.
54:39
One we'll just. Take one, one take on each.
54:40
All right, so two more with one for each team.
54:43
This is 1 positive one for Florida.
54:45
Sam Bennett had 22 just under 23 minutes of ice time and scored
54:49
two goals on 40% of his shots. And then on the Oilers end 16
54:53
more shot attempts with both Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard
54:57
on the ice at the same time. Then Florida Panthers hat.
55:01
Well, that's what we thought was going to happen, right?
55:03
When you have the McDavid lines on there, especially when
55:05
they're on the power play and speedy, you know, they lost in
55:08
overtime because they gave up a power play to the most lethal,
55:13
absolutely destructive force that the NHL has seen for a
55:16
number of years. You can't do that against this
55:19
team. And they thought maybe they get
55:21
away with it at the end of the first overtime and sure enough,
55:24
just great passing, great puck movement.
55:26
We can't stop it when the guy who's finishing his dry sidle,
55:30
by the way, dry sidle the most goals, most points for any
55:33
German born player of all. Time he's.
55:36
The best German player ever if you if by the time he's done
55:40
with his career. Second most, the second most
55:42
goals is a guy I will talk about in our sports minute.
55:45
By the time Dry Sidle walks away from the NHL, he's going to
55:48
probably score close to 600 and semi goals.
55:51
He's going to be compared comparable to the Yammer Yagers
55:55
of the world because Yammer Yaga was really Mary Lemieux Robin.
56:00
That's what he was. And even when when Mario Lemieux
56:03
walked away from hockey and Mario Yami Yaga jumped from one
56:06
team to another, he was like the Robin on every other team that
56:10
he played for. He wasn't the guys.
56:12
Well, that's the. Rangers was the guy on the
56:14
Rangers. The Rangers suck, so why did you
56:16
even bring up the Rangers? They were one game away from
56:19
getting into the Good for Them conference finals in. 20 And
56:22
they didn't and they didn't. When was the last and when was
56:25
the last time the Rangers went to the Stanley Cup and won?
56:28
Well, they won the stand. They went to the Stanley Cup
56:30
against the lake the the Kings. But when was the last time they
56:34
won in 94? And what did they do to their
56:36
their GM after they won? They let him go.
56:39
So typical New York Rangers we. Talked to him and he was.
56:43
Great. Typical Rangers stink.
56:45
And I, by the way, after the Rangers won in 94, I told all
56:48
the Ranger fans they're not going to win another
56:51
championship in it for another 50 years and they thought I was
56:53
nuts. So, and it's it's what?
56:55
How long has it been now 9490? 4 I'm 30 so it'll be 31 years.
57:00
31 years, so maybe in another 20 years so or 19 years the Rangers
57:05
will win the Stanley Cup. You got one more.
57:06
Speech I got the last two, the last two kind of go hand in
57:09
hand. So on the Panthers end on the
57:10
losing side three seasons with Paul Maurice, the Panthers were
57:12
31 and oh where they either had a first or second period lead up
57:16
until this game one where they blew A31 lead at the end of the
57:20
OR three two lead at the end of the second period.
57:21
And on the Oilers end, they have 7 come from behind wins, almost
57:26
doubling the next highest team for a single postseason.
57:29
So they actually broke the record that the Kings had, the
57:31
2014 Kings that beat the Rangers, They they broke that
57:34
record earlier this postseason and now they've just cemented it
57:37
even more, which means they likely maybe could even double
57:40
it. They could get 8.
57:40
They could get 9 even at the point if it comes down to it,
57:43
because Florida, we've talked about they have a good playoff
57:46
identity because they really know how to play when they're
57:48
ahead. And that's something that the
57:49
Rangers had trouble with last year.
57:51
That's something that Carolina definitely trouble with in both
57:53
the times they they end up losing to them.
57:55
So it's Florida is very good sitting on a lead probably more
57:58
than a lot of teams we've seen in the past and just Edmonton is
58:01
the other extreme. I compared it when we were
58:03
talking about the Stanley Cup when they beat when they beat
58:06
the Stars, they're like the Florida Gators of the NHL.
58:08
They they kept finding weird ways to win this game and he's.
58:12
Fun. Any weird way they have two of
58:15
the top three best players in all of hockey in the world on
58:20
their team on their roster. And that's why Connor McDavid is
58:23
by far the best player in the world.
58:26
And then you have dry saddle. You can argue at one point,
58:28
maybe three years ago with some people compared him as the
58:30
number two guy on the same roster, but you can argue 3 or
58:34
4. He's 3rd or 4th right now in the
58:36
NHL and dry saddle to me is more potent in the playoffs than
58:40
McDavid. And if they get dry saddle to
58:42
play like he did yesterday, I the Florida Panthers, as good as
58:46
they are and now stacked as they are, they're not beating
58:48
Edmonton because those guys are just so much better than
58:51
everybody else. So.
58:54
Fish, you were mentioning it to save your tears, but Mathias at
58:58
Cold was so close to the game-winning goal, they just had
59:00
to defend well enough just to stop him.
59:01
And then obviously just Stars took over.
59:03
You talked about bark off, bark off, you talked to Reinhart, you
59:07
talk about Marshant, you talk about all these guys are could
59:11
Chuck all these great players on the team.
59:14
You look at those guys and you look at dry saddle McDavid.
59:18
If you ask any GM, would you take but four of those guys or
59:21
you take those two guys or take five of those guys that's Bob
59:25
Rotsky or McDavid and dry subtle.
59:28
I guarantee you every single GM would take those two guys over
59:31
those 5. Guys, yeah, foundations that you
59:33
could build we've seen, especially now in today's game,
59:35
we've seen a lot of teams win with either randomly new
59:38
goaltending we. Have no goaltending.
59:40
I don't want to use Skinner as a goalie.
59:41
That's that's. What I'm saying Vegas won with
59:45
Aiden Hill and they rotated 4 different guys all year.
59:47
Pittsburgh won with Matt Murray. So there's definitely like a way
59:51
that you can make that kind of system work in today's game
59:54
where you either have a goalie by platoon or just goalies that
59:57
they don't feel as much pressure as it was to even the Blues with
1:00:00
Bennington, as much as you hate them like it was, that was very
1:00:02
random too, because Jake Allen got hurt that season.
1:00:05
So they were trying to make that system work and Chris Noblock
1:00:08
does. There's a lot of credit for
1:00:09
that. Anyways, thank you to all the
1:00:12
fans. Thank you to Leroy Butler by the
1:00:13
way, he was fantastic. Thank you for joining us.
1:00:16
Hall of Famer, one of the greatest safeties ever.
1:00:18
Play the game, great personality and as he came out and said that
1:00:23
Reggie White is the greatest player, greatest defensive
1:00:25
player to ever play the game, I would agree with him.
1:00:28
So congratulations to an unbelievable career and being
1:00:33
inducted to one of the greatest Hall of Fame's you can be
1:00:36
inducted to, and that's the NFL Hall of Fame.
1:00:38

We really appreciate you guys. Thank you to Blue wire.
1:00:55
Thank you to what, what blue wires doing right now and, and,
1:00:59
and, and the contract that we signed with them.
1:01:00
So thank you to them and thank you to Mr. Goodwood.
1:01:04
He is 2 and oh, right now, I don't know if he won tonight,
1:01:07
but Mr. Goody 50, I think he said 57 strikeouts in two some
1:01:12
crazy number. So it's it's pretty cool.
1:01:16
He's, he's, he's doing such a, such a good job over there. 57
1:01:19
something like that, 4740. Seven only 27 outs.
1:01:23
That'd be 54 outs. Then it was. 47 that was maybe
1:01:25
it was 40 something. It was something high.
1:01:27
It was a high number. Anyways, that's it for a show.
1:01:30
We will see you next week. Listen to the Weekend Crunch on
1:01:33

I, I enjoy that win because I don't think that's going to
1:01:43
last, but congratulations Al Burton and the crew over there
1:01:48
in Indiana. And congratulations to Rick
1:01:50
Carlisle. I love Rick.

1:01:57
