I, I, I will say this guys and I, I wanted to, to figure out
2:27
what's going on in the world. Jabba, what's going on?
2:29
What is going on over there in Nebraska?
2:31
Is it hot, Is it cold, Is it humid?
2:34
Is it rainy? Hey, it could be snowing in
2:36
Nebraska. I've never been there.
2:39
No, we've got humidity is is at its peak point right now,
2:43
usually around the 4th of July. You usually get there actually
2:47
not too bad today, but we've been, we've been 90s about 90%
2:52
humidity. So we've we've been sticky,
2:54
that's for sure. It's been sticky here in Long
2:57
Island, New York. I can't stand this weather.
2:59
And yesterday and I, we will get into yesterday and the
3:02
commitment of Preston Carey, which by the way, it was
3:06
fantastic. It was a great gathering for all
3:09
the fans out there. That's never been to a
3:11
commitment. And, and it it's crazy because
3:14
how many people actually show up to event like this.
3:17
And it was superbly put together by Kelly and obviously her
3:23
entourage of, of people, Liz, it was just fantastic.
3:26
It was very well put together. The video that was put up by
3:30
Jackie Robertson was sensational and Ben Carey and even Preston,
3:34
it was really sensational. Congratulations to Preston and
3:38
we will let every fan know if you haven't checked out all of
3:41
the social media and on YouTube or on any of the social medias
3:46
that were posting up where Preston is going.
3:48
Well, we will give you the information in just a few
3:50
moments. But it was very well put
3:53
together. It was at the castle in
3:54
Huntington, NY. I, I don't, I look at that place
3:58
because I've been to that place many, many times.
4:00
I've DJ, I've hosted events, golf tournaments with CC
4:04
Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Plaxico Bores.
4:08
So many great athletes have gone and played golf over there and
4:11
they are sensationally built when it comes to the, the guest
4:16
and, and, and the great venue that they have over there.
4:19
So I, I loved it over there and it was to me, what I notice
4:23
about that place is when you go in and you, you, you get to the
4:28
castle, you got to go through these bushes and it, it, it's
4:32
just amazing how it's just very well built and you just like
4:35
kind of like squeak right through.
4:37
So it was, it was a sensational, sensational event.
4:41
And I want to give a shout out to Ben Carey because Ben is a
4:44
guy that is 100% for his son. And, and a lot of these kids, a
4:48
lot of their parents, you know, obviously they love their kids
4:52
and they want their kids to succeed.
4:54
But there are parents out there worried about how much money
4:57
their kids going to get, how much money they're going to get
4:59
out of the deals or where they're going to go when it
5:02
comes to the colleges that they choose.
5:04
Ben is not like that. He really isn't.
5:06
He wanted to make sure that his son picked the right school and
5:09
put himself, his son in the right position to succeed.
5:12
And by the way, if nobody knows, I'm going to give you the
5:16
announcement. Yes, Preston Carey decided out
5:19
of Rutgers Florida, which is the Gators.
5:23
If you want to know what it is, whatever Florida team that is,
5:25
Auburn and Georgia, the Georgia Bulldogs, he chose to go to
5:30
Georgia. And congratulations to Preston.
5:33
It was great. It really was a sensational and
5:36
I want to give a shout out to Kelly and Liz.
5:39
These two ladies worked really, really hard putting this
5:41
together and I was just happy to be a part of it and be be the
5:45
host of the events. And that has a lot to do with
5:48
obviously been asking me and putting me in the position to
5:53
host the event and and announce, you know, the introductions on
5:58
where Preston was going. And we had a lot of people
6:01
varsity varsity high school was there.
6:03
They were doing their broadcast. All right, it's varsity
6:05
speaking. What was MSG varsity, MSGMSG
6:07
varsity was there. They were bunch of people.
6:10
Newsday was there, Channel 12 News was there, Peter Schwartz
6:13
was everybody. You name it, every media person
6:16
in the world when it comes to the big media conglomerates, I'm
6:22
trying to choke on my words. All the big media conglomerates
6:25
were there yesterday and I've been very, very tired.
6:28
I know a lot of people. If you watch this show, I got a
6:31
lot of energy. I'm going to put all the energy
6:33
into the show. But I didn't get home till late
6:35
last night. I didn't go to bed till 2:00 in
6:37
the morning. I had work this morning and
6:39
look, I'm here and I'm taking care of other things that I'm
6:42
going going through medical problems and all that other
6:45
stuff. I don't want to get into it on
6:47
the show, but it was a sensational since sensational
6:50
event. And I want to give a shout out
6:52
to the Carey family and congratulations to Preston Carey
6:56
for announcing where he was going and, and doing it in front
6:59
of his friends, his family and the media.
7:02
It's not easy doing it for an 18 year old kid And, and I don't
7:05
know if anybody's checked out. You don't know who Preston Carey
7:08
is. He's 6 foot 5-6 foot six, 300
7:11
lbs of brute strength and muscle.
7:13
I, I did call him the beast. I don't know what his nickname
7:16
is. I don't know what people call
7:17
him, but it's a sensational, sensational specimen.
7:21
He is a sensational specimen. So congratulations to the the
7:24
Carey family. Speedy what?
7:25
Would he picked he picked a good school though.
7:28
The best the. Best.
7:29
So he's he, he's he can go to American Whiskey anytime because
7:33
we are a Georgia bar. There you go.
7:35
There you go. I, I, I remember him saying
7:37
that. So I have to talk to Ben.
7:40
Maybe we do an event and when obviously during the season
7:45
we'll do something at at American Whiskey for the Georgia
7:48
Bulldogs and and promote pressed in and do do our show live at
7:53
American Whiskey for all the Georgia Bulldogs fans.
7:55
I think they would really enjoy it and and some of the Long
7:58
Islanders wanted to go and check out the game at one of those
8:00
bars where you get a chance to watch just the Georgia Bulldogs
8:05
and their games. You can go to American Whiskey
8:07
in Manhattan, NY and Jabba's one of the owners of the of the
8:11
facility. So it'll be fun.
8:13
And I think that would be a great idea doing a live show for
8:16
the Georgia Bulldogs, who is going to be one of the top three
8:19
favorites of winning the national championship.
8:20
So I'm not going to say I don't know how much time Preston's
8:24
going to have as a freshman this coming season, but the fact that
8:28
he is going to be on the Georgia Bulldogs, give him two more
8:30
years. This kid could be a super
8:33
superstar for the not only as a professional NFL player, but a
8:38
college NCAA champion possibly too, before he even gets on the
8:42
field and plays a significant amount of minutes.
8:44
So very happy to be there for Preston.
8:47
He is a great kid and he has a great calm personality.
8:51
That's what you want to see with these athletes.
8:52
Some of these, some of these athletes, we've got them on the
8:55
show, they're stuck up. Their personality suck.
8:57
Preston, it was not like that. He was so eager to to make that
9:02
announcement in front of his friends and his family.
9:04
And then not only that, the way he handled it, it's not easy
9:07
handling something like that as an 18 year old.
9:10
And the way he handled it was sensational.
9:11
So congratulations to the Carey family.
9:14
Preston Carey. I said that about six or seven
9:16
times and I'm going to say it once again, congratulations and
9:19
very well done. It was very well put together.
9:22
Congratulations to Kelly and Liz putting on put on putting a
9:25
great obviously levelled show, I would say committee over there
9:31
at the castle. So congratulations to all the
9:34
family and friends that joined us over there at the castle
9:37
yesterday afternoon and night. He Rappaport reports that the
9:41
Dolphins have traded for well cheated Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu
9:46
Smith for a seventh round pick to the Steelers.
9:50
The Dolphins reunite with Mika Fitzpatrick and also get a fifth
9:55
round pick back in the deal. The Steelers will take on a 26.6
10:00
million of the last of last year of the last year of Ramsey's
10:04
deal while the Dolphins will take on 1.5 million of the deal.
10:09
Adam Schefner reports that this deal has also added a one year
10:13
$12 million extension with Jonnu Smith for his deal.
10:17
Mika Fitzpatrick's contract has two years remaining on it with a
10:22
cap hit of 15.5 million this year and 17.6 million next year.
10:28
Both players have been Pro Bowlers in four out of the five
10:32
of the last five seasons. After the trade, the Steelers
10:36
have $21.8 million of cap space, tenth lowest in the NFL, while
10:41
the Dolphins have just 13.7 million, fifth lowest in the
10:46
NFL. Well, there's a lot to get into
10:48
this trade and I think I think he was very evenly traded.
10:52
I, I do believe Mika Fitzpatrick is the best player in this
10:55
trade. Now, Jonnu Smith had a great
10:58
season last year with the Dolphins.
10:59
We'll see what he does over there with Aaron, Aaron Rodgers.
11:03
We'll see what Aaron Rodgers shows up this year.
11:05
Is he the team player, Aaron Rodgers or he's a me player,
11:08
Aaron Rodgers? Because when he's a me player,
11:11
Aaron Rodgers, he's definitely not the same player.
11:14
What I do see with this trade and the reason why I think it's
11:17
evenly matched. I think the problem last year
11:20
for the Pittsburgh Steelers was the corner positions.
11:23
They have Porter, who is one of the young, young, some heroes
11:27
over there with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they're secondary,
11:31
especially on the other side of the field was not too good.
11:34
Now, Mika Fitzpatrick's been one of the better safeties in the
11:37
league since he's moved from the cornerback position to the
11:39
safety position. He has not moved back to the
11:42
corner position and the one weakness the the well, they have
11:46
a bunch of weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball.
11:48
But for the Miami Dolphins, it's one of their biggest weaknesses
11:52
defensively for the last couple of years as at the free safety
11:55
position. Now you have Mika.
11:57
Mika can move inside, he can move outside.
12:00
He can obviously defend multiple, multiple players.
12:03
You can put them at the corner position if need be.
12:06
I think obviously Mika Fitzpatrick is a perfect fit for
12:10
a Dolphins organization that's been craving for a superstar
12:14
player. Now, Mika Fitzpatrick is from
12:15
the New Jersey area and a guy that is always wanted to go play
12:19
in Florida. This is a kid that has a
12:21
tremendous amount of ability play for the Alabama Crimson
12:25
Tide. He is a Nick Saban guy.
12:28
We all know what he is as a defensive player, but he's just
12:31
as good on the field as he is off the field.
12:34
He is a team leader. It's something that I don't
12:37
think Jalen Ramsey is. He is not a team leader.
12:39
He's a me player. We've seen him over the years.
12:42
He came from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
12:44
He went to the Rams. He did win a championship with
12:46
the Rams. And then over the last couple of
12:48
years he's been floating around in the NFL, couldn't find a
12:51
home. And everywhere he goes, there's
12:54
a problem. On the football fields.
12:55
Everywhere he goes, there's a problem.
12:57
You know, when he's on in a magazine or he's in a newspaper,
13:00
he has been a Jackass. Now him going to Pittsburgh,
13:05
he's going to have to learn how to keep his mouth shut.
13:07
Now, Mike Tomlin has been a player's coach and we've seen
13:10
the guys that Mike Tomlin has coached over the years, One of
13:13
them, Brown, he's been in trouble with the law numerous
13:16
amount of times. Le'veon Bell, another one who's
13:18
done some disgusting things off the field, which we've heard
13:22
under Mike Tomlin. There has been guys over the
13:25
years when we've heard from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
13:27
And I think if there's anybody I can handle, Aaron Rodgers, it's
13:31
Mike Tomlin. But why?
13:32
Because Mike Tommen let's everybody do what they want to
13:35
do on the football field as long as they win.
13:38
But the problem with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the
13:39
last couple years, they can't get over the hump.
13:41
They can't get out of the first round.
13:43
This is 8 years, right? Am I, I'm mistaken?
13:45
8 years in a row where they've gone into the playoffs and get
13:49
and been eliminated in the first round.
13:51
The last time they ever won in the second round or later in the
13:54
playoffs, they won. They beat the Chiefs by getting
13:55
6 field goals. Well, who cares about that?
13:58
The fact is right now, Mika Fitzpatrick is the name in this
14:01
trade because if Miami wants to challenge Buffalo in this
14:07
division, it's not going to be the New York Jets.
14:08
I know Jet fans want to believe that.
14:10
I am a Jet fan. I'm not going to sit here and
14:12
try to beat around the Bush. Now, Justin Fields has an
14:15
opportunity this year to show people why he should be a
14:18
starter in the NFL. But I still think they're a
14:20
young team. You have a new coach.
14:22
Aaron Glenn's going to be sensational coach in the AFC
14:25
East. He's played in the AFC East.
14:26
He was drafted by the New York Jets.
14:28
So I believe he's going to be a good coach, but it's going to
14:30
take a little while for him to implicate his offense and his
14:33
defense to this team. I really believe Miami is the
14:36
only team that could challenge the Buffalo Bills for this
14:41
division. Now, to attack a Viola has to
14:43
stay healthy. And you can't trust that if he
14:46
goes down, you're going to trust the guy that used to be the
14:48
starting quarterback and draft pick by the New York Jets.
14:51
And you know what I'm talking about, Speedy.
14:53
Mr. Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson, Mr. Mama Lover.
14:56
So we all know that we don't want to see Zach Wilson play.
15:00
Now, obviously they're coaches on a hockey seat and I do
15:03
believe he's going to be on a hot seat this year.
15:05
McDaniels is is a guy that obviously is young.
15:09
He's Mighty Mouse. That's what they call him in
15:10
Miami. Love to watch him go running off
15:13
off the field, you know, during halves.
15:15
I love his speeches. I love when he steps on a
15:17
stepping stool and he he shows his personality on a mic.
15:21
The problem right now is Miami needs to win.
15:23
Their ownership wants to see wins.
15:25
They want to see playoff wins. They have not done that over the
15:28
last couple of years with Mike McDaniel there.
15:29
Now if Mike McDaniel figures about what the defense is, which
15:34
has been a big problem for the team for the last two seasons,
15:37
how many defensive coordinators have they had in the last four
15:40
years? It's been horrible for the
15:41
Dolphins. Their offense will find a way.
15:43
They have the ability with obviously Hill there and and and
15:47
the weapons that they have over there as far as far as their
15:50
running game is going to be even better than it was last year.
15:52
They're going to be fast-paced and they're going to be one of
15:55
the better offenses in the league.
15:56
The defensive side of the ball, you need to add that secondary
15:59
help. Mika Fitzpatrick could be play
16:01
multiple positions and he is the kind of guy that you you give
16:04
him a scheme, you tell him what you want him to do.
16:06
He's going to go out there and he's going to lead the troops.
16:08
I don't think Jalen Ramsey is that type of player.
16:10
Now, Jonnu Smith was never going to be resigned by the Miami
16:15
Dolphins. I believe that Miami was going
16:17
to do whatever they can to put him in a trade so they can get a
16:20
specific player of their of their pickings.
16:23
I believe Mika Fitzpatrick was a player that the Dolphins have
16:26
been looking at for the last two seasons.
16:28
They couldn't get him at the trade deadline last year and
16:30
Mika Fitzpatrick, I believe out of Pittsburgh, he did get his
16:33
extension. What was it 2 1/2 years ago?
16:36
I, I do believe that Mika did not like it in the Pittsburgh.
16:39
He really wasn't the cornerstone in that defense ever since they
16:42
brought Porter back, especially at young Porter, Porter junior
16:45
who has taken over as their lead secondary guy.
16:48
So I, I do believe Jalen Ramsey is a guy that wants to try to
16:52
win another Super Bowl. The one thing I could say about
16:54
Pittsburgh that I could say that they're going to be different
16:58
this year is the way they're going to pace the game
17:00
offensively to the defense, defensive side of the ball.
17:02
Their defense is still going to be their number one priority.
17:05
Their defense is still going to be elite no matter if Mika
17:08
Fitzpatrick's there or Jalen Ramsey's there.
17:10
I, I the problem is, is what Aaron Rodgers is going to show
17:14
up. Like I just said, that is the
17:16
question. And what where's the running
17:18
game coming from? The Harris is not there anymore.
17:21
Now they're going to they drafted a running back in the
17:24
later rounds this past year in the draft.
17:26
They also have Jalen Warren. Who did they extend them in the
17:30
offseason? They did extend them.
17:32
What was it 2 years, a two year deal?
17:34
Jalen Warren when he does play, he plays the majority, the
17:37
majority of the 1st to 3rd downs.
17:40
I I think Harris was used not right for the Pittsburgh
17:43
Steelers and that's why the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to
17:46
part ways in the offseason with him.
17:48
I do believe Warren is going to be used a lot.
17:50
Warren fought injury all season last year and the year before
17:53
that. If the Pittsburgh Steelers plan
17:56
to make the playoffs and make a run this year, they're going to
17:59
have to have a healthy Aaron Rodgers and a guy that's going
18:02
to have to step back and be more of a team player, not all me
18:06
player. And and again, going back to
18:08
that, I don't know if you're going to expect that by Aaron
18:10
Rodgers. Donnie Smith is a perfect fit
18:12
for the Pittsburgh Steelers because now the I what I believe
18:16
Pittsburgh is going to do this year is they're going to use a
18:19
dual threat tight end offense. That's what they're going to do.
18:22
A lot of teams are doing it now in the NFL.
18:25
We've heard Aaron Glenn wants to do that with the New York Jets.
18:28
We all know that the the teams like the New England Patriots
18:31
were teams that really brought this and implicated this to the
18:35
the NFL with Bill Belichick and O'Brien.
18:37
I expect a lot of teams in the NFL to do that this year.
18:41
And I think Johnny Smith is a dangerous factor if he can play
18:44
like he did when Miami. Now remember, Pittsburgh don't
18:47
have the weapons. Miami does not.
18:49
They don't have Waddle, they don't have Hill, they don't have
18:52
the speed that Miami has. But what they do have is they
18:56
have hopefully a competent coach that is going to let his players
19:01
make the decision on the field. Tomlin has.
19:04
It's worked for Tomlin over the years.
19:06
If you look at Tomlin's record, he has the winningest record in
19:10
the last 12 years as a head coach.
19:12
The problem is he's has the losing his record in the last
19:15
eight years in the playoffs. Yeah, and you and you mentioned
19:17
something with the Steelers offense like not having a lot
19:20
too. And that was the thing that was
19:21
most bizarre to me about the about the straight up way.
19:23
Now you talked about it a few weeks ago on your deuce of the
19:25
day. I think it was when Jonnu Smith
19:27
was initially in interest with the Steelers.
19:29
Now they have another tight ending, Pat Fryer move as a
19:32
solid tight ending. They signed him to a decent
19:33
contract. But you're right, they're
19:35
probably going to have to keep him and use an ace tight end
19:37
formation, 12 formation because they did not address the second
19:40
receiver position after they traded George Pickens.
19:42
A lot of people thought they were going to go after a veteran
19:44
guy or even draft a guy. They they, we knew Pickens
19:47
wanted out already, so they could have done that.
19:49
They did not go after that. They're trusting Roman Wilson,
19:51
they drafted last year, and like you said, it could be a mistake
19:54
when a lot of these guys are just role players.
19:56
Jalen Warren is a good running back, but again, is he going to
19:59
be able to handle that level of volume with Caleb Johnson, a
20:02
rookie, as your other option? That's the thing that doesn't
20:04
make sense of this trade. Who's their number 22?
20:07
Remember, they traded George Pickens to the Cowboys.
20:09
Yeah. So right now.
20:09
So who's their number two? It's.
20:10
Roman Wilson And then they have DK Metcalf.
20:13
Yeah. DK Metcalf is their one target.
20:15
And can you trust him to be a consistent #1?
20:17
I don't. Really well health, yeah.
20:18
The whole thing with DK Metcalf is he's he's he's a top notch
20:22
player, There's no question. But he plays his pure
20:25
adrenaline. That's what he how he plays.
20:27
He plays power football. And whenever you see a wide
20:30
receiver play power football like him, DK Metcalf is, is a
20:34
wide receiver in a tight end body.
20:36
That's what he is. He's got the speed like a wide
20:38
receiver, but he's as big as a tight end.
20:41
And that was the problem when he came out of the draft.
20:43
He was a top end draft pick. Remember, it was his combine
20:46
that moved him up in the draft, of course, because he was.
20:49
It was all his combine. It was his.
20:52
It was his running. It was his, the way he he ran
20:54
his 40 and it was with the way he was benching.
20:57
I mean, he was bench press for, for a guy his size as a wide
21:00
receiver, I think he benched 225 times, like 28 times or 27
21:04
times, which is for a wide receiver is ridiculous.
21:07
That's something that you see from a defensive lineman.
21:09
So DK Metcalf is, is brutally strong.
21:12
The problem with him is when you're that fast and you're that
21:14
strong and you're, you're lugging up all that muscle,
21:17
you're, you're going to have problems on a football field and
21:19
you're playing well, obviously in Pittsburgh.
21:21
I think this is perfect for DK Metcalf because one of the one
21:25
of the places, one of the only two places in the NFL that still
21:29
has grass, it's Pittsburgh and Chicago.
21:31
So usually when you play grass, we've heard it from players that
21:34
have been on the show, you have a better chance of lasting a
21:37
season and not having knee injuries, Achilles injuries or
21:40
even hip injuries or even your quad injuries.
21:43
As we've seen guys like, you know, guys that have played for
21:46
the New York Giants over the years, Saquon Barkley being one
21:49
of them that had problems with his quads and, and, and
21:51
different injuries over the last couple of years playing on on
21:54
turf. I Pittsburgh, it's a place.
21:57
Now here's the problem with Pittsburgh.
21:59
When it gets cold, brutally cold and it's raining over there,
22:02
your, your cleats stick to the ground.
22:04
We've heard players that have played in Pittsburgh have
22:06
problems. Even kickers that we've had on
22:08
this show have complained about the ground over there in
22:10
Pittsburgh. So DK Meccaf has played now he's
22:14
played in Seattle on turf and and in the rain, but he's not
22:18
played it, you know, 8 * 8 * a year, eight games a year on, you
22:23
know, on grass where it, it's definitely harder to play on
22:26
when it's raining. Yeah, and you're talking about
22:28
the Steelers, like late in the season, too.
22:30
Their two best seasons recently have been 2020 when they started
22:32
undefeated. They were the last undefeated
22:34
team left, and then they collapse at the end of the year.
22:36
And then last year, too, they were eight and three or
22:37
something. And then when a game when
22:39
Russell Wilson really struggled the last month of the season,
22:41
that's where all these drama started with George Pickens.
22:43
And obviously they ended up moving him eventually.
22:45
And DK Metcalf, you're like you said, he's a freak athlete, but
22:48
again, he's a very inconsistent game to game type wide receiver
22:52
too. So can you trust that as a
22:53
number one option? That's the reason I don't love
22:55
this trade for the Steelers. Like I think that Mike Tomlin
22:57
and that defense can try to make things work.
22:58
I think their biggest issue over the years has been their run
23:00
defense. And I think they didn't really
23:03
address that enough in this type of deal.
23:04
If they were to trade Minka Fitzpatrick, there's probably a
23:06
higher end offensive player I think they could have gotten.
23:08
Now from the Miami standpoint, Minka Fitzpatrick definitely
23:11
does help. They lost Javon Holland.
23:13
He went to the Giants and like you said, he could play slack,
23:16
he can play safety at a very high level and he.
23:19
Hasn't played corner in a while, that's it's been a couple of
23:21
years. That's the only thing that
23:22
concerns me and then the other thing that concerns me on the
23:25
Miami and is they're going to trust all these pass rushers to
23:27
come back and be healthy. Chop Robinson a nice rookie
23:29
year, which does help, but they still need a lot of beef on the
23:32
inside. It's crazy how a corner jumps to
23:35
safety and is still a pro ball play.
23:37
Not many, not many corners over the years that have moved to
23:40
safety has been as dominant as Mika Fitzpatrick has been over
23:44
the last couple of years. One of them and I, we, we talk
23:47
about it, that has been as good as anybody we've seen over the
23:51
years as Charles Woodson. Charles Woodson, if you remember
23:54
when he came into the league, he was a corner.
23:55
When he obviously finished his career, he went from corner to
23:59
safety and he was a pro ball player.
24:00
As a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know if this
24:03
is true. Didn't Charles Woodson win
24:05
Defensive Player of the Year as a safety?
24:07
Or was it a corner? I think he.
24:08
Wanted as a corner, he was an all pro at both positions.
24:11
Yeah, so the only person I can remember that move from corner,
24:15
the safety and as dominant as Mika Fitzpatrick has been over
24:18
the last couple of years is Charles Woodson.
24:21
It's not very easy to jump from one position to the other when
24:24
you're you're defending the best and the most talented offensive
24:27
player on another team. And then moving inside where
24:29
you're, you're playing free or you're playing where you're, you
24:32
have to stop those, those tight ends, these fast tight ends like
24:35
the Gronkowski's, the Travis Kelsey's.
24:38
That's not easy to do. And that's something Mika
24:40
Fitzpatrick's done so well all season over the last three years
24:45
and done it at a high level. Remember, Pittsburgh defense was
24:48
a top 2 defense for the last, well, top three defense for the
24:52
last three years. Why do you think it's been a top
24:54
three defense for the last three years?
24:56
Well, one of the main reasons Mika Fitzpatrick.
24:59
And that's why I think Mika Fitzpatrick was the headliner.
25:02
Everybody keeps talking about Jaylen Ramsey.
25:03
Jaylen Ramsey is a great corner. Is he a Hall of Famer?
25:06
I don't know. I know a lot of people love
25:08
Jaylen Ramsey right now. I don't think so.
25:10
I really don't. It's tough to tell he.
25:12
Was the same guy that took shots at Josh Allen on the GQ magazine
25:16
when he came into the league. Same guy that opened his mouth
25:18
about Josh Allen saying that Josh Allen's not going to be any
25:21
good. Meanwhile, Josh Allen won the
25:22
MVP this year and he's one of the top three quarterbacks in
25:25
the NFL. Where's Jaylen Ramsey speaking
25:27
now? I don't hear Jaylen Ramsey and
25:29
GQ on Newsday or whatever the hell he's at right now heading
25:33
to Pittsburgh playing with himself.
25:35
I, I'm going to tell you this right now, Jalen Ramsey is a
25:38
problem. He's going to be a problem in
25:39
the locker room. And we all know what the
25:42
Pittsburgh Steelers, they do not know how to control their
25:44
players. We've seen it.
25:46
Juju Smith, Schuster, remember him with his TikTok.
25:49
I remember that. And Mike Tomlin obviously pulled
25:52
him to the side. They didn't even suspend him.
25:54
He fined him 5000, I think it was $5000 and let him play the
25:58
next next week. That's something Mike Tomlin
26:01
likes to do. He's all for the players.
26:03
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Aaron Rodgers wanted to
26:06
go there. And that is why Jalen Ramsey
26:09
wanted to be traded to the. Pittsburgh Steel, Yeah, they're
26:11
in too deep at this point with all the all the personalities
26:14
there. We talked about it with other
26:15
teams in the past, like sometimes you can accumulate the
26:17
loud ones and make it to work. Obviously Seattle got that to
26:19
work with Pete Carroll there in the beginning.
26:21
And then once it got all sour with everybody, it all started
26:24
to fall apart all at once. Same kind of thing with the
26:26
Eagles when they won their Super Bowl in 2017.
26:28
They had a lot of loud personalities on that team.
26:30
Without Sean Jeffrey, obviously Michael Bennett.
26:33
A lot of those defensive players on that first Super Bowl team
26:35
for the Eagles were were like that.
26:36
They made it work. But again, not a lot of those
26:38
teams. There's also the same level of
26:40
loud teams that don't work. Look at the Browns when they
26:42
tried to get Odell and Baker Mayfield all at once and they
26:44
have Freddie Kitchens as their head coach.
26:46
That was a disaster. Notice the AFC North has been a
26:49
problem with three teams. The Browns, Pittsburgh and the
26:54
Bengals, all three teams over the years have had problems.
26:58
Coaches have had problems controlling their players.
27:00
Remember Vonte Burfict, remember him?
27:03
Remember when he just completely nailed in the playoffs?
27:06
Antonio Brown? Remember that?
27:08
I don't think anybody forgets that hit all right?
27:11
They've had problems controlling players.
27:12
Pittsburgh has had problems controlling players.
27:15
And then obviously I mentioned the Browns, who obviously, well,
27:19
there's a guy named Watson who can't stay on a football field.
27:23
He got guaranteed money and loves to go massage parlors or
27:26
at least create his own massage parlors.
27:28
At the stadium and there was a second round draft pick they had
27:30
last year that I already got a a domestic assault or something
27:33
like that. There was a a linebacker that
27:35
got suspended for a financial fraud.
27:37
Yeah. Good job, Cleveland, Good job.
27:39
No, I was just going to say like of these two, who do you think
27:43
it actually has a bigger impact? And I I say this positively.
27:46
Because they need him more because the Dolphins lost Javon
27:49
Holland. They have injury prone other
27:51
corners that have not been great to develop wise.
27:53
I think with the with Jalen Ramsey, it brings another
27:56
physical presence with with Joey Porter.
27:57
They're both the same type of player at this point.
27:59
I don't know if it's like a deal breaker to like make their
28:02
defense to to the higher level. Miami needs the defense to be
28:06
what they were in the second-half of the season.
28:07
second-half of the season they played very well.
28:09
It took them a while to get going though.
28:11
But the problem is you just don't know what they're passing
28:13
rushers, how healthy they'll be coming back.
28:17
Makes sense. I just, but it's just like you
28:20
look at it because it's so weird when when a trade like this
28:23
happens because it doesn't happen that often.
28:25
Now with two star defenders all at once, and that was the that
28:27
was the thing that was questioning with the Steelers,
28:29
because the Steelers need more offense than defense and Miami
28:32
kind of needs more front 7 than they do secondary.
28:35
But again, at the same time, Minka could do so many different
28:37
things. It's good.
28:39
Yeah, and he can, he can adjust and obviously we've seen what he
28:41
can do. And that's I was just wondering
28:43
what like how the impact and obviously from from both sides
28:47
of the ball, but I mean you're getting quality players on both
28:50
sides. I think Mika is just more more
28:53
suscept to being able to do more things in a scheme than than
28:57
Jalen is. Well, I just want to let, I want
28:59
to give an announcement. I didn't get a chance to do that
29:01
in the beginning. Happy birthday to Thomas and
29:05
Thomas has been a a really good friend, a fan of the show.
29:08
It is his birthday yesterday. Happy 19th birthday to Thomas.
29:12
It is a great I watched this kid grow up.
29:15
Eric Martini's nephew, OK and I've known Eric for years.
29:19
I haven't spoken Eric for over over six months.
29:21
It's been a long time, but his nephew has been a fan of the
29:24
show, loves the show and I wanted to just I, I, I didn't
29:28
get a chance to do that. Happy birthday to Thomas.
29:30
Happy 19th birthday. Happy birthday almost at 21,
29:33
man, you're you're considered a man, but you're still a young
29:36
kid. Great drummer, great kid, great
29:39
personality, big Yankee fan and loves Jabba Chamberlain.
29:42
So keep listening. We will get in to the Yankees.
29:46
And I'm sure Jabba's thoughts of what's going on with Anthony
29:48
Volpe, who's been absolutely horrible, really.
29:50
And the Yankees are going to have to figure out what they're
29:52
going to do with him. Are they, do they move him or do
29:55
they send him down a AA? Because I don't even think he
29:57
can hit a AAA right now. He's had a problem all season
30:00
long seeing the ball, but that's a whole another story.
30:02
But to get back to what you guys were saying, Mika Fitzpatrick is
30:05
the slam dunk player in this trade because one Mika
30:09
Fitzpatrick is a team player 2. Mika Fitzpatrick wanted to, he
30:13
wanted to go to on down to a Florida team.
30:15
He resigned with Pittsburgh because Pittsburgh obviously
30:18
told him that he they wanted him to be there for life and he
30:22
loves Mike Tomlin. Everybody loves Mike Tomlin, but
30:25
I think Jalen Ramsey wanted out of the Miami Dolphins.
30:28
The defense is obviously not been up to par over the last two
30:32
seasons. This year, last year they
30:34
weren't good, The year before was pretty good.
30:35
Their defense played well with all the injuries they had and
30:39
obviously losing their coach. He goes to the Philadelphia
30:42
Eagles and wins, wins the Super Bowl the year after.
30:44
But nevertheless, Jalen Ramsey had no interest to staying over
30:48
there in Miami. There it's going to be an all
30:50
offensive team. If Miami has any chance to win
30:53
this coming season, they're going to have to really be an
30:56
all out offense. And I could say this about
30:58
Pittsburgh, they're going to be the complete opposite.
31:00
Pittsburgh is a defense first, offense second.
31:04
They've always been that way. And with obviously Mr. Watt
31:07
there and now Jalen Ramsey, you have two guys that have been
31:10
elite players at their position. But me losing Mika Fitzpatrick
31:13
in the middle against tight ends, especially in the AFC,
31:16
what you're going to have to contend with, you're going to
31:18
have a lot of problems because you know, these coaches like to
31:21
go up in the middle when it comes to these tight ends.
31:24
And it's changed. The leaks changed.
31:26
Go ask. And we all know Travis Kelce, we
31:28
all know the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs love to
31:32
play that middle ball. They love to throw inside and
31:34
losing Mika Fitzpatrick, who's so very good at hot, you know,
31:38
Hawking the ball and and clogging up the middle.
31:41
Now you send them over there to the Dolphins.
31:42
What are you going to do? Jaylen Ramsey can't do that.
31:44
Jaylen Ramsey is a one-on-one player and again, they have a
31:49
good one-on-one player in Porter junior.
31:50
So I again, you you do have to contend with the teams that
31:54
you're contending with in the in the in the AFC North.
31:59
You do have to contend with the Bengals.
32:00
You have Higgins there and you have have chased there and
32:04
they're that's probably one of the most dynamic duos in the
32:07
NFL. But I, I just think giving up a
32:10
player of this magnitude, a guy like Mika Fitzpatrick, it, it
32:13
really puts you in a bad position, especially when you're
32:15
going into a season where you're not really deep at that
32:19
position. Yeah, and also you mentioned
32:20
like the Miami's going to have to rely a lot on their offense,
32:22
still trying to figure out their defense.
32:24
I know it's the second year of a coordinator that did well later
32:26
in the season. But again, it's one of those
32:28
things where can you trust Chubb and Jalen Phillips and all these
32:31
other guys to come back healthy? Jake, in our private, I was also
32:33
mentioning losing Christian Wilkins.
32:34
They've really never been able to replace him.
32:36
But on the offensive side of the ball, their offensive line last
32:38
year was a mess though, too. They were, I think, the third
32:40
worst overall offensive line in the NFL.
32:42
Like they couldn't have done that in this type of Minka
32:44
Fitzpatrick or a Jalen Ramsey trade if they knew they were
32:46
going to trade Ramsey. It's been two months that
32:48
they've known since they were trading Jalen Ramsey too.
32:50
So that's the only thing that was kind of.
32:51
Pittsburgh goes into trading offense.
32:52
No, no, no. I'm not saying Pittsburgh, but
32:53
they could have done around the league too.
32:55
Like we talked about it one of the weeks you were gone Errol,
32:57
when you were in Florida, I thought Minnesota was a really
33:00
good fit for Jalen Ramsey because and they could have
33:02
traded an offensive line in Washington would have been a
33:03
good fit for Jalen. You think Jalen Ramsey wanted to
33:05
go to Minnesota? I don't know for sure, but like
33:07
I think schematically speaking from the Dolphins, I think even
33:10
though I think they got good value in this trade.
33:12
Besides keep Bursick, I don't think there's any player in the
33:15
NFL that really wants to go to Minnesota, especially unless
33:18
they getting they're getting paid because Minnesota is a cold
33:22
place in the winter time. They do play in a Dome and
33:25
besides the wonderful mole that they have over there, what do
33:30
they call that Mall of America? There's really nothing out there
33:33
except hockey and snow. So and farm.
33:37
And if you like the hunt, if you if you like the hunt, Minnesota
33:40
is a good place to go. But I don't think Jalen Ramsey
33:42
is the type of person that likes the hunt.
33:44
And I don't think Jalen Ramsey is the type of person that wants
33:46
to go to Minnesota and enjoy his what last two or three years in
33:50
the NFLI Think he wanted to go to Pittsburgh.
33:52
I think he wanted to play for Mike Tomlin like everybody else
33:55
does. And he thinks by playing with
33:57
Jay, with a guy like Watt over there and the the talent that
34:01
they have on that defensive line, he can compete and and
34:04
become that that superstar pro ball player that he has been
34:08
over the last couple of years. And was he a pro ball player
34:10
last year? I don't think he was.
34:11
Yeah, he was. He was for the last five years,
34:13
I think. How did he make, how did he make
34:15
the pro ball with all the dominance of corners in the NFL,
34:18
especially in the division of, well, in the conference he's in.
34:22
Yeah, I guess. I guess maybe maybe they because
34:24
because I know Marlon Humphrey got the slot nod, so maybe that
34:27
gave it another position for another KFC corner to get to get
34:30
in there with Jalen Ramsey. Was he that good last?
34:32
Year he was top 15 corner last year maybe.
34:34
But was he a pro ball player? I mean, again, it's tough to
34:37
tell. I mean, Sir Tan was the obvious.
34:38
That's the problem with the pro ball.
34:40
The I mean, yeah, there's. Because the fans vote.
34:42
The fans vote. That's why Jalen Ramsey always
34:45
makes it every single year is because of the fans.
34:47
Because to me, I don't, I, I know everybody looks like these
34:50
unbelievable statistics, the PFFS and whatever they call
34:53
them, baseball's got them. And now football's got it.
34:56
The NBA's got it. All these new statistics I could
34:59
give a crap about. The fact is when I watched Jalen
35:02
Ramsey, he was beaten a lot when I was watching him play,
35:05
especially when he was playing for Miami.
35:07
Miami's defense was one of the worst defenses in the NFL last
35:10
year and Jalen Ramsey was a part of that defense.
35:14
So for the fact that Jalen Ramsey was a pro ball player
35:16
just tells me why the pro ball is an absolute joke.
35:21
And I know it's flag football. And by the way, there are a lot
35:24
of guys that made the pro ball last year, one of them Russell
35:27
Wilson. How did Russell Wilson and made
35:30
the Pro Bowl last year? How the hell did he make the
35:32
pro? Give you that one, you give it.
35:34
Give me that one. How about the kid from the
35:35
Patriots? May How did May make well?
35:38
Also the Pro Bowls, like as Jake said in our chat too, it's like
35:43
it becomes one of those things where it's like a popularity
35:45
contest. It's not really who the best is.
35:48
And as we're seeing, we see it in all sports too, when fans are
35:51
part of the voting, they're not voting because he's the best.
35:53
They're voting because he's the favorite player or whatever.
35:55
And you see it, you see it all the time.
35:58
And I think there's some some things that need to change.
36:00
But also too, it's like, hey, I get another 50 grand if I, you
36:04
know, if I'm a Pro Bowler, like hell, let him.
36:06
Let him keep voting for me. Yeah.
36:08
I mean, it's it's part of the game.
36:10
And I don't think they'll ever take the fan voting out of it
36:12
because it makes the fan feel like they're part of the game.
36:15
Here's the problem, and I agree with you, here's the problem
36:17
with the whole pro ball thing and the fans get to vote.
36:20
When these guys are looked at as future Hall of Farmers, that's
36:25
one of the things they look at. How many times have they made
36:27
the pro ball? I know obviously being an all
36:29
pro player is more important than being a pro ball player,
36:32
but that's one of the things that the committee looks at.
36:35
Oh, he's a 10 time, 11 time, 12 time pro baller.
36:39
I mean, Tom Brady was a career 22 year pro ball player and he
36:43
was an all pro player too. But the problem here is that
36:47
you, you have the fans voting for these players and it doesn't
36:50
make any sense. I don't think Jalen Ramsey was a
36:53
top ten wide, top ten corner in the league last year, but he was
36:58
a Pro Bowl player. Did he make the All Pro team?
37:00
No. So that's the problem.
37:03
If you're a Pro Bowl player, you should be an All Pro player too.
37:06
That's where the NFL needs to figure this out because that's
37:09
the same thing that happened. I I wasn't a couple years from a
37:12
Jet, one of the linebackers from the New York Jets, he was a all
37:15
pro player, but he didn't make the pro ball OK.
37:18
It made no sense if you're an All Pro player.
37:21
Isn't that, isn't that ass backwards?
37:23
Yeah. It doesn't make sense.
37:25
If you're an all pro player, you're a pro ball player.
37:28
That's the way it should go. It doesn't make any sense.
37:31
There are all pro players every single year that are not voting
37:35
into the pro ball. How does that make sense?
37:37
It just it never makes sense with the in in professional
37:40
sports anymore. Yeah, it's all about money.
37:42
It's all about the superstars. But guess what?
37:45
If you're an all pro player, you're a superstar as far as I'm
37:48
concerned. If you're out there playing your
37:50
heart out every single week and you're the best defensive player
37:54
for your team and one of the best defensive players at your
37:56
position, how are you not a star?
37:59
I mean. Seriously once conference based
38:01
one is the whole league like all pro Definitely make it matter.
38:03
But before we move on I would do what I bet you scoops mentioned
38:05
in a private chat. Tyler Huntley made the Pro Bowl.
38:07
Yes, the same Tyler Huntley that Jeff thought was better than
38:09
Doc. Prescott.
38:10
That's all. Another story, Jeff.
38:12
That's all. By the way, I love Jeff.
38:14
Jeff went back and forth with me about the Knicks signings, which
38:17
we'll get into tomorrow. But he was like, oh, our team
38:21
did this and our team that. I don't care less right now.
38:24
I want to know who the Knicks are going to be bring in as
38:26
their head coach and until that happens, I could care unless who
38:29
they bring in for for bench, hell board, even starters,
38:32
because it means nothing until you know who your head coach is
38:34
going to be. All right ladies and gentlemen,
38:37
our golf clap of the day. This deserves a golf clap.
38:41
No doubt. Golf clap, Golf clap.
38:45
Our golf clap of the day goes to the New York Knicks, and I know
38:49
a lot of Knicks fans are probably upset that the Knicks
38:51
have not. You heard it from me, Not
38:54
brought in a head coach. There are rumors coming out that
38:57
Mike Brown might be the lead guy to get the job, but there's also
39:01
rumors that the second guy on the list is Taylor Jenkins.
39:05
The reason why the Knicks are going to get a golf clap of the
39:07
day is for Leon Rose. Leon Rose, for all the Knick
39:10
fans out there on social media saying that the Knicks are a
39:13
stupid organization and how could you go into a draft
39:16
without a coach? How could you go to free agents
39:18
without a coach? Well, This is why the Knicks
39:21
went into free agency without a coach.
39:23
Because Leon Rose, everything he's touched turned to gold.
39:27
He brought in Jaylen Brunson. He paid Jaylen Brunson $58
39:30
million as a free agent. And look what Jaylen Brunson has
39:33
become. He's been become Mr. Clutch.
39:36
As for the New York Knicks and and the Knicks first captain
39:38
since Carmelo Anthony. What did the Knicks do after
39:41
that? Well, they made trades trading
39:43
RJ Barrett. They brought in a guy like OG
39:46
Anobe. OG Anobe is one of the best
39:48
defensive players, perimeter wing defenders in the in the
39:51
NBA. You bring in Mikhail Bridges,
39:53
you bring in Karl Anthony Towns, you you, you decided to move
39:56
players and give Miles McBride a big contract.
40:00
Well, a three-year contract for a bench player after training
40:03
Critten, Grimes and absolutely slam dunk that.
40:06
Move bringing a Mitchell Robinson to pay Mitchell
40:08
Robinson to a four year, $60 million contract where he's
40:11
underpaid as a center in the league.
40:13
Everything Leon Rose has done for the New York Knicks has
40:17
turned to gold. So why judge him on social
40:20
media? I'm not going to judge him.
40:22
I think Leon Rose knows what he's doing.
40:24
And my golf clap of the day goes to Leon Rose and the New York
40:28
Knicks because the Knicks are not reaching on this coaching
40:32
search. They're going to make the right
40:33
decision and they're going to put themselves in position next
40:36
next year where they're going to make a run for another
40:38
championship. So my golf clap of the day goes
40:40
to Leon Rose and the New York Knicks.
40:43

I got I got you guys a special guest on July 16th, Wednesday at
41:34
9:00 PM. Who is it?
41:36
Matthew Dennis. He was at the Fanatics games
41:39
this year. He was the one of the fans that
41:41
competed. He was in 3rd place.
41:43
He got 250250K from Tom Brady. Yeah.
41:47
Where's he's coming on the show, huh?
41:48
Where's my 250K? Tell him, can I?
41:52
Hey, Tommy, first of all, you were supposed to get me that
41:55
thing over there in the Hamptons with Tom Brady.
41:57
You never got that for me, you little piece.
41:59
They never answered back. Nith.
42:01
Bend over. Show everybody that ass, that
42:03
Indian ass. Show them that Indian ass.
42:05
No. As long as she's using dude
42:08
watch and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
42:10
This makes my pecker. Hard anyways, that's it for our
42:12
show ladies and gentlemen we'll be back tomorrow.
42:15
We'll have fish back we'll have Zach here we'll have the whole
42:18
show and maybe we'll add king of the hill because we never get a
42:21
chance we got to do that that whole UFC mixed martial arts
42:25
thing. That wouldn't be fair because it
42:26
would probably just be me and Jake.
42:28
That wouldn't have been fair. What is fish thinking?
42:30
I don't, I don't get it job. Hey, you're not going to give me
42:33
any credit on the? UFCI didn't say that.
42:35
I didn't say that, but I, I, I listen to Jake and I listen to
42:38
his take. I, I just, it's going to be hard
42:41
to, to attack this guy when it comes to his takes.
42:44
When it comes to mixed martial arts, you probably, you probably
42:47
have the third most knowledge on the show about mixed martial
42:49
arts. So it would have.
42:50
Been I'm the only one that's ever had a deal with the UFC, so
42:53
right there. There you child, there you show,
42:55
right? You want to show your ass?
42:56
Show everybody your ass, I mean. I got birthmark on my right
43:00
cheek. Oh, there you go, me too.
43:02
Is that what your future wife is looking at right now after?
43:07
The show sitting down you stupid ass.
43:09
How do we know you're sitting? Maybe you're sitting on her I.
43:13
Don't know that would be silent. I'm losing my mind tonight, I'm
43:18
losing my voice. I'm losing everything.
43:20
Anyways, that's it for a show. We'll be back tomorrow.
43:23
