1:19
he's been on a show quite a few times.
1:21
Very interesting guy and yes, he is a Cowboys fan.
1:25
We are now talking to Co founder of all 22 Fantasy Football, the
1:29
one and only Ray Cotto. Ray, what's up?
1:32
Good evening, good to be back. How's everyone doing?
1:35
We're good man. Obviously you're a fantasy guy.
1:38
I know you're a cowboy guy. Did you check out the Netflix
1:42
All American team over there of the Dallas Cowboys?
1:45
Did you check out all 8 episodes?
1:48
You know, I haven't yet. And you made a really
1:50
impassioned pitch in the last segment about it because I'm
1:53
sort of in the, I hate everything Jerry Jones is doing
1:57
right now, don't care, sign Micah type of mode.
2:00
And you made me consider sort of putting that aside and
2:03
begrudgingly giving in to exactly what Jerry wants, which
2:07
is to watch his little Netflix special because he cares about
2:10
that type of stuff more than. I disagree with you.
2:13
And I think Jerry Jones, he, he does spend his money in weird
2:17
different areas over the last couple of years.
2:19
He gives Dak Prescott $60 million.
2:21
I think Dak Prescott's a good quarterback.
2:23
Where are you going at at that position?
2:25
CD Lamb, you got George Pickens for practically nothing.
2:28
You're going to have to pay him. And I understand that Cowboy
2:31
fans want Micah Parsons back, but Micah Parsons wants a big
2:36
contract. And I I still think he's going
2:38
to get, I still think he's going to pay Michael Parsons.
2:40
So I know Cowboy fans need to hold up before the next couple
2:44
of weeks. I think one way or another,
2:46
they're going to settle just like Darrelle Revis in the New
2:48
York Jets did at the tail end of the preseason.
2:50
So I do believe Michael Parsons is going to get the contract.
2:54
But I'm going to tell you guys this right now and all you
2:56
Cowboy fans or even football in whatever football fans out
3:01
there, if you don't like the Cowboys or you like the Cowboys
3:06
or you're interested in documentaries, this documentary
3:09
is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, Cowboys or not.
3:13
It could be the Pittsburgh Steelers, it could be the New
3:15
York Jets, it could be the New York Giants.
3:17
This documentary really shows you why the Cowboys have changed
3:23
the NFL. They changed the NFL in the 90s.
3:26
They gave you what you wanted to see when it comes to dynasties
3:30
and it kind of brought the presentation of why the New
3:33
England Patriots and what the New England Patriots did after
3:36
them even more interesting, more fantastic, the way they dominate
3:40
the way they did. So I if, if you're interested in
3:43
documentaries and and back ends of understanding why Jerry,
3:48
Jerry Jones, who was who he was and how he made his millions and
3:51
how he transformed the Cowboys into a franchise that is the
3:55
richest franchise in professional sports.
3:58
Go look at it. The Yankees are the second.
4:00
The Cowboys are #1 He bought that team for $150 million off
4:04
an oil rig. That's what he did.
4:06
He got lucky. He was borrowing 50s tens of
4:09
millions of dies at 50 million, but 10s of millions of dollars
4:13
from banks. He was in, in a situation where
4:15
he was talking about killing himself and then he hit, he hit
4:18
at large with the oil rig, made $100 million and then borrowed
4:22
$550,000,000 from a bank and he had to pay $300,000 because of a
4:27
coin flip. And, and bought one of the
4:30
biggest, most impressive organizations and programs we
4:34
have seen over the last, I would say 50 years of professional
4:37
sports. It's, it's, it's a very
4:38
interesting story dynamic. And I, if you're, again, if
4:43
you're not a Cowboy fan, you definitely got to check it out.
4:45
So I'm telling you, you can hate the Cowboys all you want to hate
4:48
Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones has changed
4:51
football. He's made football what it is
4:53
today and why you're seeing all this money being brought to the
4:57
forefront in the Super. Think about it, commercials,
5:00
$510,000,000 for 30 seconds. Why do you think the
5:05
commercials, the NFL is getting that kind of money for
5:08
commercials. Jerry Jones.
5:09
Jerry Jones is behind everything.
5:11
For all the owners that we have spoken about that couldn't stand
5:15
Jerry Jones and that we're suing him for $500 million, Jerry
5:19
Jones is the reason why these owners are billionaires.
5:23
It's Jerry Jones. He was the one that brought Nike
5:26
to the forefront. He is the one that brought in
5:29
Doritos and all those companies. So I know people don't like him.
5:32
I know people can't stand the Cowboys because they're
5:34
America's team. But without Jerry Jones in 1989
5:39
buying the Cowboys, I don't think the NFL would be the NFL
5:42
today without him. So that's my take on it.
5:45
And when I got a chance to see that and understand it a little
5:48
bit more in depth, I was surprised about why the Cowboys
5:54
are so very important to the NFL now and, and for the future.
5:57
And, and, and you see that Prescott, why he's making $60
6:00
million and he's the highest paid quarterback right now in
6:02
the NFL. Jerry Jones.
6:04
So anyways, let's get to fantasy because fantasy is the the big
6:08
story right now. There's a lot of fantasy leagues
6:11
being put together in the next couple of weeks.
6:14
Your thoughts on the running back position?
6:17
Why do you think a a specific running back should be picked
6:21
first, second or third? I hate chasing stocks.
6:25
This is what we're doing. But I mean, it has to be Saquon
6:28
until it's not. I know the whispering and the
6:30
chatter about he's not going to have as big of a workload and so
6:33
on and so forth, but it's Saquon until it's not.
6:36
And that's just the way it is. I mean, if Derek Henry were a
6:40
couple years younger and had the same type of year you put up
6:42
last year, I could hear the argument for Derek Henry.
6:44
But until it's until it's not, It's it's Saquon Barkley as as
6:48
the clear #1 back number one overall pick, if you want to
6:53
call it that, for traditional fantasy.
6:54
He's he's the guy. He's still an electric playmaker
6:58
in the receiving game as well as the running game.
7:01
They still have that style of offense that opens things up and
7:03
makes it easier for running backs with that, you know, sort
7:07
of zone read Jalen Hurt's ability with his legs to open
7:10
things up right, You know, right up the gut of the defense, along
7:13
with those two top weapons on the outside.
7:15
Still, all the ingredients are still there.
7:19
So if Saquon's getting 21 touches a game instead of 26, so
7:25
be it. That doesn't change the
7:26
projection for me, so. You got him one who's number 2
7:28
and number 30. Gosh.
7:31
It's it's still got and I, I hesitate to say this, but it has
7:36
to be Derrick Henry and I the age scares me because when the
7:40
Cliff comes, it happens quick. It it happens very quickly.
7:44
And I mean, it happened with the best of talents and Julio Jones.
7:48
I know it's a different position we're talking about here, but
7:52
can in good conscience if you don't take Derrick Henry here
7:56
and he does what he does. He just looks silly when he's
7:58
stiff arming defenders into the turf.
8:00
Still the third level. They still don't want to tackle
8:02
them. So at the end of the day, same
8:04
thing with Saquon. All the ingredients are still
8:07
there for for Derrick Henry to have another monster season.
8:10
So again, I have him at 2:00 and then three, it's it's a toss up
8:18
between Gibbs and Bijan, the two young guys.
8:20
I think the excitement with with Atlanta and that offense may be
8:23
opening up a bit more under Pennix for a full season.
8:26
Sort of gives the edge to Bijan Robinson there.
8:29
But it's really close. I'm a huge fan of Gibbs.
8:31
I put those two in that same tier.
8:34
So I like to think of it more as tears instead of just a sort of
8:37
numerical ranking there. And so to me, I have Bijan and
8:40
Gibbs in that same tier, elite young running backs just sort of
8:44
hitting their stride and getting into their prime, what we
8:47
anticipate to be good off. Now, Ray, I'm I'm a big fantasy
8:50
guy, especially when it comes to football and the first two
8:53
rounds, I always go running back, always go running back
8:56
because there's not enough running bucks backs out there.
8:58
And usually there are stupid people that will go quarterback
9:01
in the first round. Some people go after Lamar
9:03
Jackson or Josh Allen like like the idiots that they are, even
9:07
though they're great players in there in, in in a PPR league or
9:10
a quarterback league, you need those kind of guys.
9:12
But you don't really draft a quarterback usually until the
9:16
third or fourth round if they're Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen.
9:19
But that's why I am asking you, where do you go with running
9:22
backs in the first round? Cuz that's where I go.
9:24
I give everybody my, my secrets. I go running back in the first
9:28
round, running back in the second round every single time.
9:31
And everybody wants to know my madness and my method and why
9:33
I'm pretty good when it comes to fantasy.
9:36
It's always running back because there's not enough out there.
9:38
Maybe you'll get lucky and you'll find one or a second tier
9:41
running back because the the number one string goes down and
9:44
this guy shows up. We've seen it with the Browns
9:46
over the last couple of years. You'll find somebody in like
9:49
what do they call it? The needle in the rough or
9:51
whatever needle in a haystack where a guy comes out of nowhere
9:55
and it becomes a pretty. Needle in the rough.
9:57
No, you know what I mean dude, I'm I'm dealing with Vertigo
10:01
tonight. I've been sick all show and I am
10:04
trailing through this and I I got to give myself a little bit
10:07
of credit then I'm dealing with it and I'm doing it so fucking
10:10
well. Excuse my language, but I I
10:13
needle in a stack, I always look at the running backs as an
10:16
important first round, second round type of topic.
10:19
Because you giving me Saquon Barkley.
10:21
Yeah, I think Saquon Barkley is so very important.
10:25
But am I going to trust that Saquon Barkley is going to stay
10:27
healthy this year? We've seen it back-to-back
10:29
years. Saquon Barkley.
10:31
I'd be a little scared over there, a little scared going
10:33
after Saquon Barkley in the first round.
10:37
I get it, but Saquon's an exception.
10:40
He's a Penn Stater. So you're not going to get me to
10:41
move off and then he's just not going to happen.
10:44
But but I mean, he he is an alien.
10:46
And and what we saw last year is what we would have seen if he
10:49
was on any sort of competent offense or in any sort of
10:53
competent system for the first half decade of his career when
10:57
he wasn't just being wasted away in that wasteland behind the
11:01
Giants offensive line in that just the whole roster was in
11:04
shambles. So again, I think I, I, I
11:08
usually subscribe to those, to those theories and thought
11:12
process processes. But at the same time, you have
11:16
to recognize an exception when there is an exception.
11:19
And there are very few exceptions in the game.
11:22
And honestly, the exceptions are Derek Henry and Saquon Barkley.
11:25
And I'd rather go, you know, bet my house on those types of
11:30
exceptions then the 58 wide receiver who runs A46 exception
11:35
who has a lot of production in college.
11:38
I'll, I'll, I'll, you know, I'll, I'll lay my bed on Saquon
11:40
and Derrick Henry and the guys with those traits who maybe are
11:43
just doing it a bit longer than we're used to nowadays than
11:46
those types of, you know, the other.
11:47
Kids. I like the kid from Boise State.
11:49
I don't know. It's 146.
11:53
So he's he's not an exception. He's he's damn kid you.
11:56
Just want. To Maurice Jones, I'm.
11:59
Just I'm just saying I'm going out if you're looking at if
12:03
you're trying to reach, I'm going after a rookie where you
12:05
can get him in the third or fourth round and he could be a
12:07
star this year. I I love him.
12:09
I love him coming out of the draft and and and being one of
12:13
the more elusive and two way kind of backs that we've seen
12:18
come out of draft. He reminds me of Bichon
12:19
Robinson. I think a better version of
12:21
Bichon Robinson. That's what I think well.
12:23
Yeah, he had the two, I think the highest athletic grade, him
12:25
and Bichon since Adrian Peterson.
12:27
So it's crazy. So I want to shift from the
12:29
running back position to the tight end.
12:30
Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, the effects of the that last
12:33
year had for them. I was big.
12:34
Trey McBride, like I got him a year earlier in 23, like before
12:37
he like ertz got hurt and it really helped me.
12:39
I dropped him a lot last year too in the Bowers insane year
12:42
getting second round grades. Like probably the first time
12:44
we've seen that since Gronk and Jimmy Graham.
12:46
Like do you buy into that? Was that a strategy you would go
12:48
for? I like to get typically like the
12:54
third best tight end or the 4th best tight end.
12:58
I don't like to be the first guy to take a tight end if we're
13:01
talking just a traditional redraft single season type of of
13:05
platform because you can typically get similar production
13:09
1/2 round a full round later than whoever chases chases the
13:13
Top Stock there. But overall the tight end
13:16
position is deeper than it's been in recent years.
13:20
It used to. It still does typically take
13:22
tight ends until their age 26 season, age 27 season before
13:27
they really hit their stride. You think of guys like David and
13:30
Joku, for example, who people had written off, but in reality,
13:33
he entered the NFL at age 20 and by the, you know, it just it
13:36
felt like he was in the league for a long time.
13:37
But really he hit his prime when normal players at their prime at
13:41
age 25 and became a big time factor.
13:43
So I don't like to be the first. I know I love Brock Bowers as
13:48
much as the next guy, but if I could take George Kittle around
13:52
later in that offense in San Francisco, where I think it's
13:55
going to be a more concentrated show with Kittle and Ricky
13:59
Pearsall at wide receiver who people aren't talking about
14:02
enough there, I'll happily take the value.
14:05
There's nothing to talk about. San Francisco is going to fall
14:08
flat on their face. They're not being a team, but
14:11
those are two really productive players that are going to be
14:14
the. Year where I get a chance to go
14:17
out there in front of everybody, including Owen the Tick, and say
14:21
I told you so. I have been telling people over
14:24
and over and over and over again that San Francisco is going to
14:27
fall flat on their face. This is the year, ladies and
14:30
gentlemen, no more Debo Samuel. He's over there in Washington.
14:33
They're not getting their star quad receiver until the 8th week
14:38
or 7th week of the NFL season, and you're going to bet on
14:42
George Kittle and Ricky Piersall?
14:43
Give me a break. Now you're talking, you're
14:48
talking falling Ray, he's talking falling on their face.
14:51
Those dudes are still going to get you points or fantasy, and I
14:53
think that's what we're talking. About that's ready for Kyle
14:55
that's. Fine, they kind of fell on their
14:57
face last year. They were.
14:58
They were. That's what I'm saying.
14:59
Last year, when was the last time you seen San Francisco and
15:02
not make the playoffs back-to-back years?
15:04
Well, ladies and gentlemen, this will be 1 of very first time
15:09
since the 90's, the the late 90s when the team started falling
15:13
flat on their face when they were really bad, when no more
15:16
Jerry Rice, no Steve Young, no Joe Montana.
15:18
And they were trying to find their way out and they got
15:20
Terrell Owens. Oh, and by the way, they traded
15:22
him too. So, yeah, that's when the 49ers
15:25
just really were not a very good franchise.
15:28
So I, I, I know what you're saying, Jabba, I understand what
15:31
you're saying. They're going to get your
15:32
points. I mean, they're there is
15:34
Christian McCaffrey over there too.
15:36
You forgot about him. He is a pretty explosive running
15:39
back as well. He'll definitely be in the top
15:41
four, top five guys when it comes to list of guys that
15:44
you're going to want to draft. But nevertheless, if you're
15:47
going to bet that he is going to be that all world type of
15:50
running back with this offensive line that really stands to two
15:54
guys, their guard and their tackle.
15:58
Yeah, I I mean, this team is an absolute joke and they brought
16:02
back Bambi. Future 49ers interim head coach.
16:11
That's what he's hoping for. I.
16:12
I'm losing my mind tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
16:15
I have to laugh because our guy Fish over here who loves Kyle
16:20
Shanahan and then we have a guy named Owen that's been on the
16:24
show quite a few times that loves the San Francisco 49ers
16:27
and was complaining and bitching and moaning about Brock Purdy
16:31
getting his contract. Are now singing in the the rain
16:34
because there's not going to be much rain.
16:36
There's just going to be a lot of snow and they going to have
16:38
to be dugout because Kyle Shanahan is going to be looking
16:41
for a new job and it might be somewhere else at the end of the
16:45
season. Come on, Kyle Shanahan, right?
16:47
You could tell him he's got influence all over the league
16:50
with the offense that he created that half the he hasn't won
16:52
nothing. He stinks.
16:54
He'll be unemployed for about 10 minutes.
16:57
That's fine. That's fine.
16:59
Let him go somewhere else and lose somewhere else.
17:01
Let him go to Atlanta where he was the offensive coin and it
17:04
cost them a Super Bowl. Great job, Atlanta, great job.
17:08
Good. Franchise who trades 3 first
17:10
round picks for Trey Lance would normally be in the abyss for a
17:14
decade and he just kept that ship afloat as best as he
17:18
possibly could. I think it's one of those fields
17:22
he. Did find Brock Purdy in seventh
17:24
round. He he built Brock Purdy up after
17:26
finding him in the seventh round.
17:28
You take him away from Brock Purdy, and Brock Purdy may end
17:30
up being Yeah, inserts McCown, brother.
17:34
I just, I just gave you the reason why Kyle Shanahan should
17:37
be looking for a new job. What?
17:39
What do people think I'm like, blind or I don't see what I'm
17:42
seeing. I've been telling you guys this
17:44
for a while. The guy's not good.
17:47
Yeah. He's taking a team to a Super
17:48
Bowl. They had talent there before he
17:51
was even there. And now all of a sudden, you
17:53
know, Kyle Shanahan, she's great offensive mind.
17:56
He's never won anything. The guy's never won.
17:59
Even as an assistant coach, even as an offensive coordinator,
18:03
he's never won. So why is everybody?
18:05
He's not Mike Shanahan, he's not his dad.
18:08
Mike Shanahan would do Super Bowls.
18:10
This guy won nothing. Oh, this guy's the mastermind.
18:13
Sean McVeigh. Look at O'Connell.
18:15
Look at McBride. The guy stinks.
18:20
The guy, he's never going to win anything.
18:22
He's a loser. Here it is Owen Looser.
18:27
That's I'm sorry, John, I had just had to do that.
18:29
I had to add that to the the storytelling here.
18:32
Yeah, no, you're you're good. I mean, if we were talking about
18:35
a whole team factor, I would I would agree with you.
18:37
But they're still going to get you some points on the old, old
18:40
fantasy roster. So I, I just want to get here
18:46
just so I can hear Errol this lose it.
18:48
I I just want to ask your thoughts on Errol's favorite
18:51
player. And I think his last name is
18:55
Hunter. Self-proclaimed, called him the
19:00
The. Unicorn the Gremlin likes.
19:03
To call him something else, the. Gremlin the Gremlin, Travis the
19:07
Gremlin Hunter. If you have any way to hack the
19:10
arrows all 20. 2 on his roster up.
19:13
There it is, ladies and. Gentlemen, no AI should be
19:15
allowed to do. That he is definitely one ugly
19:19
SO. Rental controls on AR.
19:20
He is an. Ugly man.
19:22
He is really, really ugly. And by the way, I just want to
19:25
give a shout out to Deion Sanders.
19:26
He was great in that documentary, too.
19:28
I got to give him some credit. I didn't like Deion Sanders.
19:31
I take back a lot of things about Deion Sanders.
19:34
I give him a little bit more credit as a player because of
19:37
his personality as a player. And I remember him as a player,
19:40
but I didn't realize how how much pizzazz he had when he
19:44
played on a football field. And I got a chance to get to
19:47
know him a little bit better watching the documentary.
19:49
So I'll take back some of the things I said about him.
19:52
Still, his son stinks. And Travis Hunter is one of the
19:54
most overrated players in NFL history to come out of the
19:57
draft. So eat it.
19:59
What's here at Ray, what is like Jabba said, where do you see
20:02
Travis Hunter? Or may I say.
20:05
The gremlin to be this year. I look forward to 25 years from
20:10
now when the documentary about Travis Hunter comes out.
20:13
You also saying something similar about, you know, gaining
20:15
some more respect for him as a player, as a two way player, all
20:19
pro on both sides of the ball because he is that type of
20:22
talent, I do think. Are you in drugs at least at
20:26
least early on? What are you probably going to
20:28
spend more of a focus on? The I.
20:29
Mean are you, are you dealing with vertical like I am?
20:32
Because I mean, they're, they're, you might be seeing two
20:35
or three. I I.
20:36
Mean he he does play 2 positions on the field so it feels that
20:39
way that's. Fine.
20:40
That's fine. Everything he could do for a
20:42
team. Well, the the team and the
20:43
organization's making a big mistake.
20:45
You should not be putting as a wide receiver.
20:47
You should be putting him as a corner.
20:48
And because they're doing that, it's going to throw him off.
20:51
It's going to put him in a position to fail as far as I'm
20:53
concerned. The wide receiver to watch on
20:55
that team. His name ends with AT and that
20:58
is Thomas, Brian Thomas, who I believe is the best young wide
21:05
receiver right now in the NFL. He is going to explode off the
21:09
paper this year. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're
21:11
a buyer, don't be a seller on this guy.
21:14
And I want to know your opinion right now.
21:16
I think he's Justin Jefferson esque.
21:19
He might even be better than Justin Jefferson.
21:21
I think this guy is in the next two years is going to be known
21:24
as the number one wide receiver in the NFL.
21:28
Brian Thomas. Where do you draft him?
21:29
Is he a first round pick and where would you draft him?
21:33
Late 1st, high second. I think he's a little bit.
21:36
He's a different type of receiver.
21:38
He's a bit more of honestly sort of like the Terrell Owens mode
21:42
as far as you know, sort of the big plays he provides, but he's
21:46
not necessarily the and I know in his prime TO was this guy,
21:50
but Thomas isn't quite there yet, although he has the the
21:53
build and sort of physical makeup to eventually get there.
21:56
But he's not necessarily the guy you pepper with targets quick
22:00
over the middle type. That's not really him right now.
22:02
He's still a take off the top off the defense type of guy,
22:05
makes some big plays yards after the catch, but not necessarily,
22:09
you know, 8 catch on 10 targets type of guy that sort of wears
22:13
out the defense. So in that sense, some of the
22:15
guys like a Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, some of the other
22:19
names at the top of that list. We'll see what the Lions offense
22:23
looks like with Amin, Rossi and Brown now that they lost our
22:26
offensive coordinator Ben Johnson over to the Bears.
22:28
But that's another name where you could just you can count on
22:33
on him having a ton of targets during the game and being able
22:36
to sort of always keep you in it if he's on your roster and on
22:39
your team. So Brian Thomas junior may be
22:43
wide receiver 5 or 6 right now, but in any given week and finish
22:47
as wide receiver one because he catches 260 plus yard
22:50
touchdowns. That's the type of player he is.
22:52
And I think over time he becomes at a top.
22:56
He's almost there already, but a top three player type of.
22:59
Are you a specialist? You're the Co founder of all 22.
23:02
We love you. OK, but are you blind?
23:05
What's going on here? What's going?
23:06
On you got to give him time. You got to give him.
23:08
Time you got to give Jones, he. Got to give Kyle Shanahan he.
23:11
Had Mac Kyle. He's had enough time.
23:14
He's had enough time over there in San Francisco.
23:16
I don't want to see Kyle Shanahan anymore.
23:18
Are you lost? I got Vertigo right now.
23:20
I'm throwing up. I've thrown up twice on this
23:23
show, OK, twice. And I they think you're
23:26
absolutely blind about this guy. Matt Jones was throwing this guy
23:29
the ball last year. He had over 10 touchdowns and
23:32
1200 yards. And you're going to tell me,
23:34
well, he needs time to develop. What more does he need to
23:37
develop now? Yeah, the gremlin to that team.
23:39
Get out of here. What's going on with you, man?
23:41
We need time to be to raise his floor in a given week from wide
23:45
receiver 16 to wide receiver. Floor.
23:50
Because his ceiling is already possible Wide receiver 1.
23:53
He just got to reduce the delta between the floor and the field
23:57
with the feeling. And you mentioned Matt Jones.
24:01
I think forgetting about Matt Jones and Trevor Lawrence, I
24:03
think the real key here is Liam Cohen and his offense because we
24:06
saw what he did with the wide receivers in Tampa Bay with,
24:09
with Mike, with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
24:11
So I know, I know you, I know you want to just microwave this
24:14
thing to success. But if it does, it's going to be
24:17
Liam Cohen and the offense that he brings over there in
24:20
Jacksonville. Because I think I think the
24:22
biggest beneficiary is Trevor Lawrence.
24:23
Trevor Lawrence is my sleep rack quarterback.
24:25
A lot of people are bringing them off.
24:26
Way too soon out now you're losing it, now you're.
24:29
All the way down. I love this.
24:31
Wow, all over your head. Where over your head are you?
24:33
Are you really now talking about Trevor Lawrence, the the
24:37
overrated quarterback that was the number one pick of the
24:39
draft? I don't know.
24:41
He's been overrated. He's been.
24:42
Overrated. The guy stinks.
24:45
He's a hippie. That's what he is.
24:48
He should. Smoke weed and enjoy himself on
24:50
the sidelines. The guy is so overrated.
24:53
Liam Cohen is going to make magic.
24:55
Happen. Is this the same Liam Cohen that
24:58
didn't want the job? Is this the same Liam Cohen that
25:00
actually went home to Tampa and said it?
25:02
He doesn't want the job And then all of a sudden out of nowhere,
25:05
they fire the GM and they fire him practically every single
25:09
executive over there to give him the reins.
25:11
Liam Cohen is not going to last more than two years over there.
25:13
No. No coach ever.
25:15
Last there more Dan Peterson there.
25:17
That guy won a Super Bowl with the Eagles.
25:20
Yes, he won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, and it couldn't work
25:23
over there. So stop this.
25:25
You're going to actually sell me Trevor Lawrence, and then you're
25:27
going to tell me that the Gremlin is going to be a great
25:30
player in 25 years. They're going to make a
25:31
documentary of this idiot. The guy's an idiot.
25:34
He's a jacket. They got a documentary with him
25:36
right now. They have a documentary with him
25:38
already in Colorado. You're right.
25:40
The Gremlin's three, it's coming out next year.
25:42
Are you kidding me? He is a horrible, horrible,
25:46
horrible player and I I promise you, mark my words, ladies and
25:48
gentlemen, I'm not going to take this back in six years.
25:51
The guy is going to be one of the worst at his position.
25:53
It doesn't matter if he's a wide receiver.
25:55
It doesn't matter if he's a corner.
25:57
What a joke. And I'm going to tell you this
25:58
right now. I saw it.
26:00
I'm going to pull it up and I'm going to send it to you either
26:02
there was a there was a there was AI think a take a 10 minute
26:06
take that I saw it today and most overrated draft picks of
26:09
all time. Guess who they had in the top
26:11
five. Yes, the gremlin, and I'm going
26:14
to tell you this right now. I'm going to.
26:16
I love it. I'm going to love it when I told
26:18
you or I'll tell you guys I told you so.
26:20
He stinks. That's all.
26:22
I'm going. To say right, for context, he
26:23
also has a bet with Quinton Coppols where Quinton Coppols
26:26
was saying I think he was going to get 3 interceptions or
26:28
something and Errol doesn't think he's going to get Eddie.
26:30
No, he's not going to have one this year.
26:32
He's not going to have one this year.
26:34
Probably going to have one if he plays.
26:36
Want to bet? On defense, you want to bet how
26:38
much you want. To bet now the real quick you
26:39
want to be against you're a bet. Come on, come on, you're a
26:41
betting man. What's the bet?
26:42
What's the bet with Quinton Coppols?
26:44
Quinton Coppols wouldn't even dare to bet me on this one.
26:47
Now I I'm telling you that right now, Especially if he's going to
26:49
be a wide receiver 90% of the time.
26:52
Oh, good luck. Quentin did say he prefers him
26:54
to play corner over. Absolutely.
26:57
And I I think they're making a big mistake.
26:58
Didn't he say 6070306040 wasn't? It Yeah, he said 7030. 7030 and
27:04
he said 7030 as a corner. I I think they're, they're
27:07
choosing the wrong position for him to play as the wide receiver
27:11
more than the corner. But I'm going to tell you right
27:13
now, he's not going to have one interception this year.
27:15
And I think he's one of the most overrated, highly touted players
27:19
I've ever heard come out of the draft in, I would say the last
27:23
20 years. He is not good.
27:24
And I think you guys need to stop it.
27:26
He's not Deion Sanders. He's not anywhere close to the
27:29
talent Deion Sanders was. And Deion coming out and saying,
27:32
well, he's, he's better than I was.
27:34
Deion, stop selling me something.
27:35
You're you're selling me dry ice.
27:37
That's what you're selling me. I'd rather chew on dry ice than
27:40
actually believe that the Gremlins going to be a good
27:42
player in the NFL. That's it, That's it.
27:45
No more talking about Travis Hunter.
27:47
Where does he, like actually fit in?
27:49
Is he? So he's listed as a receiver.
27:53
He's listed as a receiver. I think he's going to end up we
27:56
talk and I agree. I think he's he's primarily his
27:58
ceiling is higher as a corner and that type of corner is more
28:01
rare to find with his sort of ability and ball skills.
28:04
His best position to me is corner, but he's still a top
28:07
flight wide receiver prospect if he focuses on it.
28:10
I think what what's happening now is he's probably going to be
28:13
more 6535 wide receiver to start.
28:15
He's going to get comfortable with the system and the offense
28:18
and then sort of integrate slowly into the defense as time
28:21
goes on. That seems to be the plan.
28:24
I probably would have primarily had him on defense 1st and work
28:27
him into the offense to start, but Liam Cohen is a mastermind.
28:31
He clearly had great negotiation tactics that Errol's just not
28:35
giving him much respect. For how many times?
28:37
Supposed to be Jacksonville jab clearly has some savvy to him
28:40
and some forethought. And so I'm going to I'll trust
28:42
Liam Cohen until he gives me a reason not to on this.
28:46
But it seems more like 6535 offense to start as he phases in
28:50
more with the defensive as he shows he can handle the load on
28:53
both sides of the ball and they kind of take it from there.
28:57
I'm curious to see how it it's going to shake out because to
28:59
me, no matter how good you are, to me, it really is a really
29:02
tall task to expect someone to play significant roles on both
29:07
sides of the ball in today's NFL.
29:09
It's just that's so taxing on the body.
29:12
The season's already long enough as it is.
29:15
It's a different ball game than doing that.
29:16
So why? So why wouldn't he get you
29:17
double points then if he if he gets a pick 6:00 on the other
29:20
side and then get you points for the defense if you have their
29:23
defense Sounds sounds good to me.
29:25
Well, in all 22 we have depth charts, so you know if you have
29:28
Travis Hunter on your team and. You play him.
29:30
Are you able to play him at both of you draft him?
29:33
I actually draft. So right now he's listed as just
29:35
a wide receiver based on what they've discussed so far as the
29:38
plans. But you know, that could always
29:40
be updated as as he does play more defense and then, you know,
29:44
we'll have something for that on the platform.
29:45
I did draft him in some of my leagues and I'm anticipating an
29:49
eventual sort of two for one there.
29:51
Don't worry. Right, right.
29:52
You could draft him in our all 22 league and give Arrow a bunch
29:55
of trade. Here here's that I know.
29:56
I know he won't snipe me. For him, here's the words that I
29:59
caught up on on anything, all the things that he just said
30:02
shake and load. That's about it.
30:05
And he has this love fest for Cohen, so I don't know what he's
30:08
thinking in his head right now, but they're there Might be
30:10
something coming. Where, where is he?
30:13
Oh, that's right. He's in Jacksonville, right?
30:14
Maybe we should ship you over there.
30:16
Ray is right, right? Ray is right about what the he
30:18
is a genius for being the one that finally forced the Jaguars
30:20
to fire Trent Bulky, who had the best run of mediocrity since the
30:23
Jason Garrett era. I never said bulky was good, OK.
30:26
I never said that bulky was good.
30:28
And I think Jacksonville is one of the worst organizations in
30:31
the NFL in the NFL at with one of the more popular owners out
30:36
of all the NFL owners, because he speaks very highly.
30:39
His sons, you know, owns a wrestling organization.
30:42
I mean, he's only what you want as an owner.
30:45
He loves to dip his hands and everything.
30:47
That's what you like from an owner.
30:48
But when you you have a guy that didn't want the job and then all
30:51
of a sudden jumps and takes the job at the last minute and then
30:54
they move up and give up a significant amount to get the
30:56
gremlin and and expect this guy to be a star wide receiver on
31:01
the other side of Brian Thomas, where you have a a prolific
31:04
talent of that magnitude. Good luck.
31:07
It is an absolute joke. And by the way, Trevor Lawrence
31:09
sucks. I got to add that one too.
31:11
So there you go. I got to say, Earl didn't take a
31:14
lot to go out on a limb against the Jaguars.
31:17
Well, you know what it's. A real man to stand to the
31:19
Jaguars and and anticipate better days ahead.
31:22
No, I, you know with with all the things I'm dealing with
31:26
tonight, including Vertigo, I am not going to see 2 when I see
31:30
that idiot on the football field.
31:32
By the way, we are talking to Co founder of all 22 fantasy
31:35
football, Ricotto Ray. Obviously the New York Jets have
31:40
an interesting season. I think Aaron Glenn is a good
31:43
coach. I like what he's saying.
31:44
I like the fact that he's going out there and he's holding his
31:47
players accountable. Justin Fields has a chance to
31:50
prove himself this year. I know that I think it was you
31:53
that really like Justin Fields when he came out of the draft.
31:56
He never really got a. Chance to tell me.
31:58
Then it was your partner. It was your partner it.
32:00
Was might have been Chris. Yeah, it was Chris, but.
32:02
One of one of you guys really like Justin Fields.
32:04
I did. Eberfluse was not the guy to
32:07
coach him up. I I didn't like the fact what
32:09
they did over there in Pittsburgh.
32:10
Mike Tomlin is definitely not a a coach for when it comes to a
32:13
quarterback. And now he's with The Jets.
32:16
Aaron Glenn, one of the reasons why he took the job is he told
32:19
The Jets, go get Justin Fields. Your thoughts to Justin Fields
32:23
this year if he gets the chance to flourish with Garrett Wilson
32:26
and maybe Olave. I mean, there's stories coming
32:28
out that they're going to, they're going to go after Olave
32:30
before the season starts. Maybe they get a LA Van Garrett
32:33
Wilson 22 wide receivers he played with with Ohio State.
32:37
The the question with Justin Fields is really how far do you
32:40
want to go? Because if you're talking, if
32:43
you're trying to be a Super Bowl contender with Justin Fields as
32:47
your quarterback, it's just not going to happen.
32:49
Now, can you build enough of an offense around him or enough of
32:54
a team around him and using his legs, you can manufacture enough
32:57
offense to win 9 or 10 games in the regular season, make the
33:01
wild card round, maybe win a playoff game, Sure.
33:04
I think that's the high watermark for Justin Fields
33:07
because to me, there are simply inherent flaws, inherent fatal
33:11
flaws in his game when it comes to processing speed within the
33:15
pocket that your legs can't always get you out of.
33:19
And that's a part of his game that never developed.
33:21
It didn't develop in college. It never had to develop in
33:24
college because of what he was surrounded by.
33:27
You could sit back in the pocket for four plus seconds and wait
33:31
for your primary read to come open, not even worry about
33:33
processing the entire field at that point, and still put up 40
33:37
something points a game. And so that part of his game has
33:40
never developed. And a lot of that really is
33:42
innate. And Fields is just not that
33:44
innate processor. He holds on to the ball a long
33:47
time and then we'll try to make things happen with his legs.
33:50
And that can't always bail you out of trouble.
33:52
So can The Jets be a an above 500 team, a wild card type of
33:58
contender given that the offensive line is better
34:01
defense, you know, is going to be solid.
34:03
They had he does have a rapport with Garrett Wilson.
34:05
Maybe Mason Taylor as a young tight end kind of gives them a
34:07
new dimension they haven't had before.
34:09
Braylon Allen's getting a ton of buzz.
34:11
We'll see about that, sure, but as long as we're realistic about
34:16
the expectations and we're not sitting here bad mouthing him.
34:19
At the playoff loss, all right, I don't want.
34:21
To hear you, I don't want to hear you raging and grieving,
34:24
I'm. Getting angry with you tonight.
34:25
You don't want. To be you're really pissed.
34:28
How to help you? I you're helping me.
34:30
You're telling me that it can't work with Justin Fields, but it
34:33
worked with Jalen Hurts over there in Philadelphia.
34:35
Are you going to tell me that they're not the same player?
34:37
They're practically the same frigging player.
34:39
So to sit here and say, well, it's not going to work.
34:42
What is Philadelphia built on? Great defense.
34:44
What is Philadelphia built on? Great running back.
34:47
That's what The Jets have. And what is Philadelphia known
34:50
for? Well, not for great coaching,
34:51
that's for damn sure. And and The Jets actually have a
34:54
decent coach. They they have practically a
34:56
quarterback that can do the same thing that Jalen Hurts could do.
34:59
And Jalen Hurts, and I'm not saying that Justin Fields is
35:02
Jalen Hurts, but they're very similar in their games to sit
35:06
here and say they can't win with him or they can't go to a Super
35:09
Bowl. I'm not saying that they will.
35:11
And I don't think they're going to the Super Bowl this year, but
35:13
to come out here as a cowboy fan and tell me that the gremlin is
35:17
going to have a documentary in 25 years.
35:19
And you're, we're going to, they're going to build, you
35:21
know, a statue of them over there in Jacksonville.
35:23
I, I don't know. Do you eat paint chips or
35:25
something? I, I, I don't know what's going
35:27
on with you tonight. I, I'm a little lost here.
35:30
I, I, I love you, man. I love what you do.
35:32
I love everything that you do on social media.
35:35
I follow you. I laugh at some of the things
35:37
you post. And I love what you're doing
35:40
right now for all 22. But if you're going to come out
35:42
here tonight and tell me that I am going to appreciate what the
35:46
gremlin is 25 years, you're wrong.
35:49
And when you're going to come out here and tell me, hey, you
35:52
know what Trevor Lawrence is, is my guy, He's going to be a guy
35:55
that you're going to definitely go draft in your fantasy draft
35:58
now, man, you're smoking some ganja.
36:00
You're you're you're drinking. You're you're sniffing some
36:04
lines, whatever the hell you're doing.
36:05
Enjoy. You all lost my friend.
36:09
I love. When's the last time you had
36:10
your heart broken? When's the When's the last time
36:12
you had your heart broken? Oh my God, I don't know.
36:14
You're breaking my heart right now.
36:16
So I guess within the last five minutes.
36:19
I'm trying to leave you from that heartbreak feeling and it
36:21
and you're just I can't. It looks like I just have to let
36:24
you go. You're just going to have to,
36:25
you know, what are, what are. We on the Titanic or something
36:29
just. Let me go.
36:30
You're getting you're getting your hopes up about The Jets
36:32
again and you're doing it with Justin feels like a.
36:35
Double fall. It's like.
36:35
Two strikes and we haven't even taken a match.
36:37
First of. All buddy, I I could give a crap
36:40
about what anybody thinks about the New York Jets.
36:42
I already know The Jets are going to fall flat on their
36:44
face. OK, They always do.
36:46
But as far as I'm concerned, so are your Cowboys.
36:50
OK. So of course, we're going to sit
36:51
here and we're going to talk about, look at the Dutts.
36:54
I I think Dak Prescott's a good quarterback.
36:57
I think the organization has done well in, you know, not
37:01
well, unwell giving him weapons. But now finally made a good move
37:05
to bring in George Pickens. But they're not going to be able
37:07
to pay him. And now they're going to have to
37:09
overpay Michael Parsons to keep him.
37:11
So your organization is is falling flat.
37:14
On their face, Don't worry, they sealed Jake Ferguson.
37:16
But again, what? Who are they going?
37:17
To blame it on, there you go. Who are they going to blame it
37:19
on? Oh, Jerry Jones, the guy that
37:21
has given your organization opportunity after opportunity to
37:25
make money and put that organization right on the
37:28
platform to be America's team. And now all of a sudden you hate
37:32
him. You don't want to watch his
37:33
documentary. Shame on you, buddy.
37:35
Shame on you. I never thought I would have
37:37
seen this day. Listen, I stick up for Dak
37:39
Prescott all the time. I am a Dak Prescott supporter.
37:44
I, I, there are so many Cowboy fans that don't understand how
37:47
good they have it. And when he is gone, he's way
37:50
better than Tony Romo. If you look at what Troy Aikman
37:53
has done and yes, he's not Troy Aikman because Troy Aikman had
37:55
Emmett Smith and Michael Irvin and and, and a great offensive
37:59
line. But if you consider to look at
38:01
both those guys numbers, they're very similar and but a guy that
38:06
can actually move outside of the pocket and make throws on the
38:08
run, something that Troy couldn't do.
38:10
I, I, I just think the cowboy fans don't realize how good they
38:14
have it as well as giant fans didn't realize how good they had
38:17
of it until Eli Manning was gone and gone for the count and going
38:22
Omaha, Omaha on that stupid ESPN take.
38:25
So I, I just, I'm just speaking the truth here.
38:28
You guys have an opportunity to build and and win a championship
38:32
with Dak Prescott will never do that until you give them the
38:35
weapons that he needs. The problem with that is that we
38:39
give out too many bad contracts like Ezekiel Alley, which
38:41
everyone saw was going to be a train wreck from a mile away,
38:44
that prevent us from making the type of deals and free agency
38:48
that would build a team good enough to actually contend truly
38:52
for a Super Bowl. And we rely on the select few
38:54
that we do have. Guys like that Prescott, guys
38:57
like Michael Parsons while he was on his rookie contract, guys
38:59
like CD Lamb to make up for those holes elsewhere on the
39:03
roster. And come playoff time, you can't
39:06
do that for four or five weeks straight, especially when you
39:09
don't have a coaching advantage and you are sort of dealing with
39:13
some. I mean, Mike McCarthy is a is a
39:15
coach from the aughts. His type of system just doesn't
39:18
work anymore. No one else would have hired
39:20
that that that guy to run their offense, to run their team.
39:22
But of course Jerry Jones did because that's what Jerry does.
39:26
He lives in the past, just like with this Netflix special, but I
39:30
know you're going to jump in now because you are now Jerry
39:31
Jones's biggest fan, which is which is just lovely to see.
39:35
Did you? Say that McCarthy would not work
39:37
anywhere else when it comes to offenses.
39:40
If you look at the Cowboys in their record and their offense
39:43
over the last couple of years, it's been one of the best in
39:45
football. What are you talking about?
39:47
If you watch closely the offense of success, the success of the
39:51
offense was either through 2 minute drills or no huddle when
39:55
Dak was the one making the calls at the line and not Mike
39:58
McCarthy's play calls. Go back and watch, I promise
40:02
you'll notice the. Same.
40:02
And that picture with paternal. I, I, I, I was actually hiding
40:06
behind you too. I, I know Fish used that magical
40:10
cartoon in the background to Take Me Out of it.
40:13
If you really look deeply, I'm behind paternal and I'm like
40:16
waving. So I was actually in that
40:19
picture. I was taken out of that picture.
40:20
But anyways, I I'm lost here tonight.
40:23
I want to tell you that I have lost my will as a jet fan.
40:27
I've lost my will to even listen to this All 22 Fantasy Go guru
40:32
over here, but I'm going to give you a little bit of credit here.
40:35
When I look at what you have done for All 22 and what you and
40:39
your partner and your organization has done, it's
40:42
given fans a hope that now when you look at football, you're not
40:46
just looking at the offensive side, you're looking also at the
40:50
defensive side and building depth throughout the season to
40:54
play all 22. That I think is great.
40:56
The only problem here is when we played all 22, you had to draft
41:01
5500 rounds of something. It took like 5 hours to draft
41:05
your team that you need to clean up, buddy.
41:07
That's what you need to clean up.
41:09
But everything else sensational. So I got to give you a little
41:11
bit of credit for that. Oh yeah, I appreciate that.
41:14
If I knew you were rushing to run back and watch Jerry Jones's
41:17
documentary. I'm done.
41:18
I watched the whole thing. I watched the whole thing.
41:20
It it was great. In two days, I got a chance to
41:23
experience the greatness of Jerry Jones and your Dallas
41:26
Cowboys of the 90s. And it's Smith's greatness.
41:29
Michael Irvin loving the Kraken and sniffing the cocaine.
41:32
I'm loving it. I I mean, I would have hung out
41:35
with Michael Irvin in those days too.
41:37
I and all the strippers he was getting, forget about it.
41:40
I mean, me and Michael Irvin would have been best buddies so.
41:43
I'm not a Michael Irvin story, but that's that's offline, I
41:45
can't say. That well, please don't do it I
41:47
I don't want to get you in trouble and I I definitely want
41:49
to get Michael Irvin on the show so if you're going to scare
41:51
Michael and scare Michael Irvin away I don't want to hear it so.
41:54
He was great. He was great.
41:55
He was great. Yeah.
41:56
Well, we'll, we'll talk offline. Yeah.
41:58
That would be good. That would be really, really
41:59
good. But I I do appreciate everything
42:02
that you're doing and where's your partner?
42:04
What, what's going on with him? Why is he never showing up when
42:07
it comes to this show? Is there something about this
42:10
show that he doesn't like? I mean.
42:11
Seriously, I think you, you this, you have this new found
42:14
love for Jerry Jones. He probably would have made time
42:17
to come on. I think he's he's out travelling
42:19
right now, coming back from the New York City area.
42:21
So he's probably in his car right now going to listen to
42:25
this when he gets back, I'm sure.
42:27
But I'll skewer him for you. I'll, I'll, you know, I'll give
42:30
him a hard time and, and make sure that, you know, put some
42:32
pressure on him so you can invite him back and you can have
42:34
him on the shows, right? And he's trying to hack the
42:37
system so Travis Hunter ends up on his all 22 team.
42:40
Are you kidding me? I am.
42:42
I would never draft Travis Hunter even if he was the last
42:45
guy on the list of guys to draft.
42:47
You will never see Errol Marx ever, ever in the next 10 years,
42:52
if he's even in the NFL, because I say four years, he will be out
42:55
of the NFL. I will never repeat myself.
42:59
Never draft Travis the Gremlin Hunter.
43:03
Ever in any kind of fantasy draft.
43:06
So you could take that. You can book it and I promise
43:08
you, you can staple that on your walls.
43:10
And remember I said that. So there you go.
43:12
As far as I'm concerned with your one and only all 22, you
43:16
definitely got to check it out. Are we going to do that this
43:18
year again? Are we going?
43:19
To raise any contact to the commissioner that hasn't gotten
43:22
back to him. Yeah, well.
43:23
Mission Gordon, go in the chat, go in the chats, the fantasy
43:26
guys guy go in the chat and just start spamming him like guys,
43:29
let's set the schedule up for the draft.
43:31
So I was actually surprised to learn that this league I'm
43:33
actually not the commissioner, commissioner in because I'm
43:35
commissioner in about 16 of these leagues, so.
43:39
Right. Realistically, I know, I know
43:41
you have your own, but how many? Like, are you actually in?
43:46
Probably. Probably about a dozen.
43:48
A little over a dozen, maybe. How?
43:51
It's a way of life. It's a way of life, job.
43:53
I understand that I mean it, it's your job, but like I used.
43:59
You find yourself. Or at least I find myself when I
44:03
stick to the same philosophy. I don't, I'm, I'm not the type
44:05
of guy. I know a lot of people.
44:06
Sometimes if they're in a lot of leagues, they diversify, you
44:09
know, so that like if, if, if they get a, a season ending
44:12
injury to a high profile player, it doesn't sink like 6 of their
44:15
teams. That's not me.
44:17
I have my philosophy and I stick to it each and every time.
44:20
So I end up with a lot of shares.
44:23
Yeah, they're similar enough to where if, if I know, you know,
44:27
whoever Chris Godwin is having a great game or something, it's
44:31
going to be good for the majority of my teams and and I'm
44:34
going to benefit from it. So I still don't have that like
44:37
Uber conflicted feeling when I'm watching football because oh,
44:41
it's good for half of my teams and not good for the other.
44:44
I stick to my philosophy. He sticks, he loads, he does, he
44:47
rubs, he does everything, ladies and gentlemen, and he loves
44:50
Travis Hunter. So I, I mean this guy is
44:53
wonderful. And by the way, if if you really
44:55
want to check out some of the things that he's posting as his
44:58
top five quarterbacks to draft, simply look for Trevor Lawrence
45:03
as one of the guys for for you to draft in any one of his
45:06
lists. Thank you very much, Ray.
45:08
We love you so very much. I'm just kidding.
45:11
I, you know, I love you. I love busting your balls.
45:13
I, I love busting Chris's balls. I, I just love it.
45:16
And yes, I am not a newfound Jerry Jones fan.
45:20
I think Jerry Jones is a lot more interesting to listen to
45:25
now because you know, the back end in the background of who he
45:28
is as a man and what he has done for professional football.
45:30
That's all I'm saying. I didn't realize how important
45:33
he has been for the NFL and the National Football League.
45:36
And now he bought a team that was really not worth anything
45:40
and the league was worth nothing when he took over in 1989.
45:43
And he turn the NFL and change the NFL into the multibillion
45:47
dollar organization and the richest and is bringing in more
45:50
money when it comes to riches and sponsorships and
45:53
advertisements because of him. He is the reason why the NFL is
45:56
where it is today. So it it's very interesting.
45:59
It's it's very intriguing. And if you're a football fan,
46:02
you got to check it out. All right, Ray, we love you.
46:05
Have a very good night, my friend and whatever it is.
46:08
And by the way, we're doing a fantasy.
46:10
We're doing a job in the mouth fantasy league.
46:12
We're going to do it this year. You and your your your buddy
46:16
over there should be joining it. We should definitely get it
46:18
together off speedy set it up job will be part of it.
46:21
Nick Goody will be a part of it. We'll all be a part of it and we
46:23
will watch you fall flat on your face because you're going to
46:25
draft the Travis, the one, the Hunter, the Gremlin himself as
46:30
your number one, number two pick or something of that.
46:34
Everybody has to do a name that's based on Nathan.
46:35
Drops dropping the hammer or just breaking news, Goody has no
46:42
woody bagel hole. Yum, Yum, butt plug glory hole.
46:46
All right, anyways, we love you, Ray.
46:48
Thank you very much my bud, and we will talk to you soon.
46:52
Always a pleasure guys, really appreciate it.
46:54
Ray Carlo, ladies and gentlemen, the gremlin lover himself, I and
46:58
and Trevor Lawrence. I mean, I am a little lost
47:01
tonight. I don't know what's going on.
47:03
I I've had Vertigo. I threw up twice.
47:05
I might I am starting to go away.
47:08
I'm actually feeling a little bit better.
47:10
So it was almost two hours of this guys, you don't understand
47:15
how how bad Vertigo could be to you.
47:18
And it was before the show. I started feeling dizzy.
47:21
I sat down in the first segment and I, I couldn't even see the
47:24
screen. I, I was seeing like like three
47:26
of them. And it was very, very hard for
47:28
me. And I, I want to apologize for
47:30
the fan, to the fans, for all the things that I was dealing
47:33
with in the beginning of the show.
47:34
I, I, I, it's never happened to me on the show.
47:37
But when that happens, I can't even explain how sick I got.
47:41
And during the first sports minute, I ran to the bathroom
47:45
and I threw up almost twice in the ball and I came back out
47:49
here and I, I just went through it.
47:50
I don't even know. Anyways, we got a couple more
47:53
segments to go, and now, ladies and gentlemen, we call this
47:56
Jabba Rules, Rules, rules. All right, guys, welcome to
48:06
another episode of Jabba Rules. Jabba.
48:10
Time for you to tell us what rules tonight.
48:14
I'm going to go this argument that we've kind of seen here in
48:18
the last week with the the ALNVP in what rules for me and and the
48:25
rules for me this week is going to be are the voters really
48:30
going to pay attention to average?
48:33
Because if we look at it, Cal Rally is having a great year.
48:36
Is he going to set records? Yes, he is.
48:38
But also are you going to give an MVP to a guy that's hitting
48:41
240? He only is leading in two
48:44
categories, home runs and RBIs. And I don't know what the rules
48:50
are. This is this is one of those
48:52
things where I had to figure out on the fly and we're going to
48:55
figure this out on the fly and what they value as far as what
48:58
is important. Because in every statistical
49:01
plus year, plus and wars and FRPS and elemental PS and
49:07
minuses and pluses, Aaron Judge is killing Cal Rally and there's
49:12
only two. I just don't understand how you
49:17
don't give it to to judge being in every statistical category
49:23
other than two that he is not winning.
49:26
I MLB Network is trying everything and is it going to be
49:30
like we've talked about before in different sports, do they
49:34
want to see somebody different win?
49:37
They haven't never given an MVP to a guy that is hitting 240.
49:43
So what will the rules be and what will they try and think of
49:47
next? Because they're going to make up
49:49
some rule where it's going to going to show what it is.
49:52
And it'll be interesting this last 35 games where they all end
49:56
up and what they value and what their rule is and and who's
50:00
going to be the MVP. So it seems, Jabba, not a lot of
50:04
clarity, just like you didn't have so much clarity back on
50:06
your rules. That's why, that's that's why I
50:09
brought it up because I'm like, I don't, I don't know where they
50:11
go with this. Like what, why are they doing
50:13
this? So that that was kind of one
50:15
when I thought about today, I was like, this kind of makes
50:16
sense because I don't really know what the hell they were
50:18
doing with me either, eerily. Reminiscent Jabba Rules for this
50:23
evening 0 and you know what? I, I don't know, I know
50:28
everybody's sitting here today and probably I got by the way,
50:31
we got 2 new listeners today. So I want to give a shout out to
50:34
Dwaylen and Meredith listening to the show right now.
50:37
We really appreciate you guys tuning in.
50:40
And one of one of the, one of the guys said, oh man, I've had
50:43
vertical before. That is the worst.
50:45
I don't even know how you're doing the show right now.
50:47
And I, it's finally, I feel normal.
50:50
It's not something that you can ever imagine if you've never
50:54
been through it or you've never had it before or it's something
50:56
you couldn't even imagine going through.
50:58
So I just want to let everybody know, I want to apologize to the
51:00
fans early in the show. I, I think it was OK, but I, I,
51:04
I don't even know how I did it. I want to apologize to all the
51:06
fans in the beginning of the show with my Vertigo situation.
51:10
That usually never happens. It's, it hasn't happened on the
51:13
show since really for 13 years. It's never happened to me
51:17
before. I, it got worse probably two
51:19
years ago. There are days than others that
51:23
I get it, but I don't throw up like that.
51:25
I I my face, fucking excuse my language turned purple.
51:29
I went to the bathroom. I I did what I had to do.
51:31
I I didn't even think I was going to get through the show.
51:33
So I want to apologize to the fans with that.
51:35
But All in all, we got through the show.
51:37
I don't know how I did it, but thank you to our very special
51:40
guest. Thank you to Co founder of all
51:42

52:12
next week. Thank God there is hurricanes
52:14
going on. Hurricane Aaron is hitting,
52:17
hitting everything right now and, and it's just absolutely
52:20
demolishing everything that it hits.
52:22
So hopefully all the families out there that are dealing with
52:25
the situations with the hurricane, hopefully everybody's
52:28
taking, taking cover and taking care of their families.
52:31
So that's a horrible story right now that's going on right now
52:34
here in the United States. So hopefully all the families
52:37
are are being taken care of. Yeah.
52:40
Do we have anything on Monday? Yes, Nathan was able to get
52:43
Lindsay Berra, who's Yogi Berra's granddaughter, and he's
52:46
a board member. She's a board member on the Yogi
52:49
Berra Museum now. Did a lot of Yankees content in
52:52
the past with espnandmlb.com and was the executive producer as
52:56
well of a documentary called It Ain't Over about Yogi Berra.
52:59
I actually watched it. It's a great documentary of Yogi
53:02
Berra and she was actually on it.
53:04
It was sensational. Anybody that hasn't checked it,
53:06
It was in the movie theater. It was in the movie theater for
53:09
like a couple of weeks, but now you can get it.
53:12
It was on Netflix. I think you can get it on
53:13
Netflix right now. It's still on Netflix.
53:15
If you haven't checked it out. It is a great documentary.
53:18
The the tale of one man that just absolutely dominated the
53:22
catching position not only for the New York Yankees, but the
53:25
MLB and baseball. He is really the face of the
53:29
catching position. I don't care what anybody says.
53:31
He was the all around greatest catcher to ever play the game
53:35
power wise, defense wise and winning as far as I'm concerned.
53:39
And and the story behind him on how he became a Yankee is pretty
53:42
unique. He wanted, always wanted to be a
53:44
Saint Louis Cardinal and the Cardinals passed him up and then
53:48
he winded up being picked up. Yep.
53:51
And he, the Cardinals passed him up for I think, I think
53:53
McCarver. McCarver, I don't know if it was
53:56
McCarver, but with somebody. And he, he signed with the New
53:59
York Yankees. And you know what happened after
54:02
that, so. And he served his country.
54:04
As he did. And Yogi Berra is a special.
54:07
I never met him. I know Jabba's met him.
54:09
I'm sure Nick has met him. I never got a chance to meet
54:11
Yogi Berra. I met Mickey Mantle.
54:13
I did. So that was a unique opportunity
54:17
that I had. I also met Pete Rose, so 2 Hall
54:20
of Famous, two of the greatest players to ever play the game.
54:22
I met Derek Jeter and all those guys too anyways, and Java
54:24
played with them and so did Nick.
54:26
So that's it. So I know Lindsay, I talked to
54:29
her too. There's some cool things that
54:31
she's gonna do and we'll post it or whatever, but, and we can cut
54:35
this and put it up, but yeah, they're trying to break the
54:37
record on September 21st for the most people to ever play catch,
54:41
you have to play catch for 5 minutes simultaneously.
54:43
They're doing it at the museum. We'll have more information, but
54:46
if you guys want to go and check it out and kind of what they're
54:49
doing, it is Yogi's big catch.org and it'll give you all
54:53
the information. You can be a fan.
54:55
Come watch it. But yeah, really cool thing.
54:58
And she'll explain some more to us on Monday.
55:00
But it's a really cool thing and she is so passionate, such a
55:03
wonderful, wonderful human being, and she's really cool.
55:06
So that would be fun. Yeah, sounds really cool.
55:09
And again, if you're a Yogi Berra fan and you know nothing
55:12
about Yogi Berra and your father used or your grandfather used to
55:15
tell you about Yogi, well, you get a chance to know a little
55:18
bit more about his family and his background when Lindsay
55:21
comes on and joins us on Monday. OK, that's it, ladies and
55:25
gentlemen. Again, I hope everybody enjoyed
55:27
the show and we'll be back next week.
55:28
Goodnight. It is the worldwide sports radio
55:32
network.
