I think the last costume I had, last costume I wore, sophomore year college. Sophomore year college. Halloween cot Halloween party. back when I was skinny, like super thin. I was frozen. Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: That was I was f I was frozen. Look kinda looked like that nigga too at the time. Jax: You were skinny enough to be Frozo, 'cause Frozo's like a hundred and twelve pounds. Greg: Yeah, let me I'll I'm gonna see you picture right please don't ask me who that white woman is. I don't know who she was. Jax: I wanna ask you who she is. Greg: I don't know who that is. And I don't even know what costume that was. We j I just looked at, I just looked at her. She looked at me. She Jax: That was that was also my s that was my next quiz. I was like, who is that supposed to be? Greg: was just like, yo, we we kinda blend together. we kinda like we kinda like we wearing adjacent outfits. Let's take a picture. I was like, sure. I guess. I don't know. Jax: I'm trying to think of what it looks like was no cause she looked like she dressed as one of them Viltramites off Invincible, but that wasn't like the comic had existed, but it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't a show back then. Yeah, it was Greg: This was yeah, this was twenty six This was like twenty sixteen. Yeah, this was like twenty sixteen. So hell no. Jax: Yeah, I don't know what's supposed to be. Greg: Yeah, that was crazy, man. Anywho, Yeah, let's let's get into the things that we do not care about. We do not care. first and foremost, Christophs Porzingis stepping away from the game he loves, due to elf concern. So And is working with the Warriors for whatever's in their best interest. This was coming off of reports, I think, a few days ago, that he wasn't even receiving payments from the Warriors just yet. Jax: Yeah. Greg: They just stopped payments on this nigga. I was like, damn, I didn't even know they could do that. But then again, I it's valid. Look, it is valid. Jax: it's valid cause he ain't cigar. He ain't cigar. Greg: It is valid, but man. Jax: You think he's gonna personally, I think he should just retire. he's are I don't know how much he's made. He's made hundreds of millions of dollars, presumably, I don't think he he didn't win na was he with the new the Celtics or no? Greg: He was with the So Tus, championship year, right? Jax: Okay, so he did win it he did win it. He didn't play. I remember he did not play that much, but he didn't win it. Greg: He didn't he did not play, but he is an NBA champion. Jax: Okay, yeah. So got your money, got a championship, bro. I just chill with all this health cause he don't even really know exactly what is going on. they know he has that pot syndrome or whatever, but they don't know how it's affecting him. I just chill, bro. Cause he's not even old for real. So I'll just just relax. Greg: How old is Chris Dobbs? Thirty four? Jax: I'm guess he probably thirty one. Greg: Damn. Jax: Let's see. He is yeah, he's thirty one. Greg: 31. Damn, he is young. Jax: Exactly. Greg: He is he is super young, actually. Not super young, but Damn. Jax: And and he's made two hundred and fifty million dollars in his career, bro. You can you can yeah it's just chill out, bro. Greg: My God. Yeah, niggas forget about that first day w in New York. Nigga went cra nigga went Jax: Exactly. Yeah, if I'm him, I'm just I just chill out, bro, 'cause it's not working out. Whatever whatever's going on needs to get figured out. So you you made a quarter of a billion dollars, bro. It's you've had a nice career, dog. Greg: did you see did you see what Draymond said about it? Jax: I saw like I didn't actually click the video, but I saw like somebody quoted it. I like skimmed through it, but I I don't really be caring what Draymond say, 'cause I hate what Draymond be saying, bro. Greg: fair. Absolutely fair. But I will say the quote that is important in all of this. Draymond Green on Christoph's Porzingis. this is official. no, no funny shit. no one's sitting Jax: Okay. Greg: around bashing this guy or even worried about him for for that matter. In our minds, we've moved forward with the players that we have here. You can't sit. And worried about spoiled milk. Jax: I don't necessarily think he said anything wrong, but it sounds harsh. But I get he's sort of had like it's sort of he's basically saying like next man up type shit, but it sounds like the way he's the way he's going about saying it sounds sort of like dickheadish, but I don't think he really said anything wrong. Greg: I'm not saying that he's incorrect in his statements. I just think it's crazy to call a white man spoiled milk. I get it though. I do get it. Calling that white man spoiled milk is objectively Jax: Ha ha Greg: hilarious to me. But anyway, moving forward. We do not We do not care. but let's get into the Dallas Wings. Apparently AZ FUD. And the white woman herself, Paige Beggars, are broken up. They are no longer together. here's what they said. this is the horse's mouth right here. Jax: Normally we would not care about any of this at all because I don't care what these I don't care what they got going on. I truly don't. But I will just I just want to present this present this information. Olivia Miles versus AZ Fud, comparing their statistics. Now, Dallas Wings, they had the first pick in the draft, and they took AZ FUD. She was Paige Becker's teammate, former girlfriend, or whatever. And she was all right, you know, relatively speaking. But that second pick was Olivia Miles, who damn near won the MVP. She was a first team all WNBA as a rookie. She was an all-star. Like, you could have drafted Olivia Miles. And paired her up with Paige Becker's. Instead you draft her ex girlfriend. Greg: So they broke Jax: What are we doing? Greg: up a year ago. They broke up before she got drafted. They Jax: They said they broke up before the draft. Greg: broke up before the draft. So you draft her fresh X? Damn. Jax: Like bro Like bro Greg: You draft a fresh ex, nigga. That's different than some, okay, we're amicable now and whoop-de-broke off on some bad terms. Obviously not. It's not like they broke off on bad Jax: Yeah, we don't know. Greg: terms, whatever the case may be. But an ex is still an ex. A fresh ex sounds crazy. That sounds crazy. Jax: Maybe maybe the wing maybe the w maybe the front office didn't know, but I feel like on page, I feel like there's some information you should convey. Greg: Down saying ca and and I was like, and that's your star player. So when they said when people were saying she got drafted because of Paige. Regardless of you being in a relationship with her or not, it played a factor. Jax: Yes. Greg: I promise you, if Paige Beckers was not a Dallas wing, AZ FUD is not getting drafted there. That is 1000% not happening. Because respectfully, no, I I don't I didn't see anybody that had AZ FUD going number one. Now there wasn't Jax: And Greg: no clear hierarchy of like a Caitlin Clark or a Leah Boston where it's like it's a clear number one and everybody else is down here. But she was always, AZ Fo was always like a top p draft pick. I ain't seen anybody on the on the board saying, hey, she's the number one draft pick. Jax: I feel like maybe that's what Paige would say. She was like, they're they wouldn't draft her number one. No way. And then they drafted her number one. Greg: Niggas say, how you feel about AZ? AZ fire. But I will say, you draft Olivia Miles. And best case scenario, it turns into a dynasty type situation. It turns into something special. Jax: Exactly. Greg: But on the flip side, you might be setting Paige Beckers up to be a Jalen Brown. Jax: No. Greg: You might because the way Olivia was coming out. Jax: But keep but it don't the the Celtics still won a championship though. So is it worth it Greg: That's fair. Jax: in the end? Maybe so. Greg: Maybe that'd be up the page if she's willing to play second fiddle. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Cause that would have been exactly how it was. Jalen Brown was the third pick. Jason Tatum was the third pick. Jalen Brown was there a year before. Then Jason Tatum came through. He's only 19. He's only 19. And now is Jason Tatum's team? Jax: I'm trying to think of NBA examples where that s I Gress I you could say the Celtics did work out 'cause they got the championship and everything, but is there a situation like that where they just stayed together for the majority of the careers? outs Greg: it depends on what you it depends on what you consider a top draft pick. Because Jax: That's fair, that's fair. Greg: a nigga like me can say, you know, Stefan Clay, but I think Clay was like pick eleven. I mean, he was still technically lottery, but it's not like he like a top five pick or whatever. You know what I mean? Jax: It wasn't Yeah, I don't know. Greg: So like there was a clear like hierarchy at that was established. So he he he Jax: Yeah. Greg: knew the place that could fiddle off rip, but somebody that's like both up there. Maybe Russ and K D, maybe, but that was like Yeah. But it was a Jax: I can't think of one. But even then they, ex they broke up some. Greg: long it was a how what do you consider a long tenure then? Jax: they were together for eight years maybe? And Greg: Could this seven is it seven, eight? Say yeah, seven, eight years. Jax: same thing with the Celtics though. So maybe that's maybe that's just a good amount of time to be together. Yeah, so Greg: Maybe it is. And even and even with Steph and Clay, Clay at some point left. Jax: Yeah. N they really didn't want Clay back, which is sorta valid though, 'cause Clay had all them injuries, but still. Greg: True. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't I don't know I don't know anybody that just stay. Mo most most top players they don't stay. Even Shaq and Kobe. Jax: Exactly so. no. Greg: Damn. Yeah, I don't I don't know a lot of people that were homegrown and stayed. Homegrown stars and stayed. First of all, you gotta get two homegrown stars. Jax: And you need enough two homegrown stars and you need enough money to pay both of them as well. And enough touches Greg: And and Jax: to not piss the other one off. Greg: Yeah, and and egos gotta be in check. There's a lot of things that have to play in f in factor. Damn. It's rare. It's rare, Jax: Yeah. Greg: bro. But yeah, that's crazy. Hopefully she could turn into the the second fiddle that they they need or whatever, but Yeah, that looks bad. I'm not gonna lie. We do not care. That looks kind of bad. Moving over next, the New York Knicks versus Taylor Swift. Some might even say why why is there versus in between? She's a fan. But apparently Tyler Kohlik was asked. go ahead. It's the video right here. Jax: Yeah, Tyler Collett was giving some interview with somebody. about Knicks fans. And he's saying Taylor's a diehard Knicks fan. And this this 30-second harmless video by put out by I don't know whose media team, but this warranted a whole response from the Knicks, and they released a statement at TMZ saying Taylor Flip has been a Knicks fan for many years and has a long history with Madden Square Garden, and we're incredibly appreciative of her support with the organization. Why does she warrant a response? Not saying like, I don't know how diehard or whatever she for Knicks, I don't care, but like Why does this warrant a response? So fat 'cause this video, it g it went viral today. And they had a response out like an hour later. I got a bleach Greg: Amen. Jax: report bleach report notification about it, which is I'm like, I do not care about this. So Greg: Taylor Taylor Taylor Swift got that motion off here. Taylor, Taylor Swift. We talk hey, and we talk shit about the LeBron and the Black Vans. Taylor, Taylor Swift got triple, triple Jax: It must be crazy. Greg: decker black vans, nigga. And for what it's Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: worth, she has been like a fan of the Knicks for like a lot of years. Like, She she was she was definitely a fan, even when it wasn't cool to be a fan, is just the fact that who the fuck is eyeing the Knicks? Like who Jax: Exactly. Greg: who is who really cares about Knicks fans? Because when you see Knicks fans and people at Madison Square Garden, you're gonna see a whole bunch of celebrities, just to begin with, because it's Madison Square Garden. But at the same time, MSG putting that out, yeah, I mean. She technically shut the city down in June. Like she shut the train station down in the summer because she had her wedding Jax: yeah, for her her wedding or whatever. Greg: at at MSG. so she's good for the MSG economy. So I guess they was gonna back her girl up. But hey, hey nigga. Jax: That is probably why I didn't miss it. Greg: Tyler Cul hey, they're gonna say, hey, Tyler Culler don't know ball like that. Hey, relax. We good. I guess. It was a nothing burger. I don't know why we got a bleach report, Notification for that. I don't We do not care. I don't Jax: Exa I'm like, what is the what? Greg: give a fuck about that. Last and certainly but not least, Trevion Henderson. he might be losing his mind and he might be off of my fantasy football team in a matter of a couple hours. Jax: I know. Paige's running back Trayvon Henderson. He revealed he was hospitalized for several days after experiencing an unexplained neurological emergency. The symptoms including having the strength, coordination, and physical functions affected in tests. They haven't or the tests had reassuring results, but they don't exactly know the cause just yet. There was a story about Trayvon Henderson going around where he had it talked about his recurring sleep paralysis problem that's been going on since he was a child. And he was saying, like, ever since I was a kid, I've had this problem and continue to all the way into my days in Ohio State and even now. And he said, like, I get in like the sleep paralysis mode where I start hearing demons and stuff talking to me in my voice and every or in a voice and everything like that. And nobody knows what's going on and nobody knows what's wrong. And I'm just like With all due respect, because we don't know what's going on with him and everything, but if I'm the New England Patriots and I hear that a player I'm thinking of drafting gets sleep paralysis episodes and hears demons whisper terrible things to him. With all due respect, the most respect, I don't think I'm drafting you. I don't know if I I don't know if I can draft that. I'm so sorry. I don't know if I can do that. Greg: can't say that. It depends. It depend it depend it depends. Jax: Really 'cause it's already I feel like it's already something going on up there. And then you keep getting hit in the head. It's probably making it worse. I don't know, man. I don't think I could do that. Greg: It depend well, I'll say this. For Trevion in specific, nah. I don't think I could do it. Now, if this was a star player on the defensive side of the ball, I think we're having different conversations here. And I think I'm Jax: If it's Lawrence Taylor, we can we can make if you're an edge rusher, we can make it happen. Greg: like we can make this shit work, my nigga. Jax: Yeah. Greg: As long as you as long as you're not like no free safety or something like that, I still need you to think. I think you need to use your brain when you Jax: Yeah, no, you you gotta be in the you gotta be in the front seven. You can't be a corner or a safety, but like a linebacker, perfectly fine. Greg: Perfectly fine. have it, you know, wears a a neck a neck brace like what's that what's that nigga name? Vander Esh back in the day. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Yeah, you put three fingers in the dirt, you you might be able to get it away from me. I you I might I might get you the you might be a top 10 pick fucking with me. Hey, you might be the reason I get fired. Because Jax: Now my lineman tell me this, yeah. Greg: I'm a drafty nigga. I would do it. Jax: But in all seriousness no though, I do hope he gets better. Whatever whatever's going on with him, I Greg: No, no, it's. Jax: hope it gets, you know, figured out. That's crazy. Greg: Yeah, that's crazy. Cause I can't relate 'cause I'm I've never had sleep paralysis. I know it's a thing, but I'm just like, damn, Jax: Really? Greg: I've never had that where a demon came up and just Jax: Not not I like I've had sleep par ain't no demons in there, but I've had sleep paralysis and stuff before. I ain't never heard nothing whispering to me, but Greg: Nah, that that's what that's what it would like for me, if I had a hard time getting up, it was just because damn, this bed feel too good. I'm like this bed, Jax: Remember? Greg: this bed feel real good. Not because it's like Jax: I had a sleep paralysis in school one time because I fell asleep in school and just like on the Greg: Yeah. Jax: desk. It was like in the when I was trying to like get up and wake up and I like couldn't move and I was like, my god, I'm fucking dead. Like I was Greg: Right. Jax: like, I'm fucking dead, I can't move. My like my body's right there, but it was crazy. But still, I Greg: No, it was fucking loose. Jax: whatever's going on with Henderson, I hope it gets better. Greg: I'm I'm praying for that boy. But let's get into some basketball. Things that we do care about. First and foremost, the Golden State Valkyries are your new WNBA champions. second sec second season in the Jax: Yeah. Greg: league and win a chip. That's crazy. And shout out to Joe Lake with I remember he had a speech when Jax: He is the owner due right. Greg: He w he I remember his press conference when they first got the Valkyries. He was like, yo, if you just, if you just give me the time and the resources, I can have us, I can have us with the chip in the next five years. And did nigga did it in two. Jax: Yeah, he did it. Greg: didn't nigga did it in two. And on top of that, it's not like he had a lot of notable stars that people talk about on the daily when it comes to WNBA basketball. I know Gabby Williams stepped up and I know that she's a great person and she's an amazing hooper Jax: Yeah. Greg: because I saw that shit in game seven. She just hooped out her mind in the fourth quarter. But Jax: She had she had two points going in the halftime. She finished the game with thirty. Greg: Yes. Just Jax: Exactly. Greg: for the life of me, I just don't understand why niggas don't call timeouts when niggas get on runs. Jax: Yeah. Greg: I just don't understand it, but that that's neither here nor there. But this was not this this was not a this felt very strengthened numbers. It really did feel like a damn, like this was a full team effort, not a lot of just like superstars Jax: As it should. Greg: and as it should. And you know, shout out to the, you know, Atlanta Dream, you know. They they had a hard season. They they they pushed it to a game seven. overall it was a good series. this is the first Jax: Yeah. Greg: time I think it was the first time they they had a game seven in WNBA history. Yeah, so Jax: Game seven effort. And I think I think we both picked the dream to win, but deep down we should have no every time the team that the quote unquote culture goes for, they always lose. They always lose Greg: Yeah. If it's not Cam Newton, it's Lamar Jackson. If it's not Lamar, then it's Andrew Reese. Like yeah, whenever the culture rallies behind you. Jax: when remember it was it was the the Saints were the culture team for a couple of years and then they kept having them crazy no calls in the playoffs and all that. it never th the team the c the culture team never wins. So should have seen that coming. That was that was my fault. Greg: Or when the Fal or when the Falcons went up 28 to 3. Niggas thought it was over. Niggas said, hey, the culture won. Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: Not on my fucking watch. Not on my goddamn watch. Honestly, yeah, the the last culture team to win was what, the Knicks? Jax: Were the Knicks a culture team? 'cause I I don't think not every championship has a not every there's not a culture team every single time. So I don't I wouldn't have called the Knicks a culture team. Greg: Mm, I see what I guess Jax: the Wolves is a culture team. And by culture, yes, I do Greg: Fairs. Jax: mean nigger. Or nigger, rather. Greg: Does one player make it a culture team? I guess so. Jax: the attitude of the player. Greg: Yeah, for sure. Okay, I see. I what you mean. Mm. And yeah, 'cause every team every year we have underdogs, but every underdog is not a culture team. The Pacers are not a culture team. Fair. I could see to your point. For sure. I don't think we had a culture team last year. Jax: No. But regardless of shout out to Greg: now now the Timberwolves right now, that is a super culture team. You got two niggas there. Got two Yans out Jax: Yes. Greg: there. Now now Anthony Edwards is is injured, but like to start the season. Jax: He's still there in spirit. Greg: For sure. Adidas commercials and all. So Yeah, man, this is this is nuts. Shout out to them though. Jax: Yeah. But moving on from that though, let's keep it basketball and talk about the one and only the greatest Thunder player in all t of all time, as Russell Westbrook. He's getting his jersey officially retired on February twenty-seventh, or February seventh, twenty twenty-seven. My fault. Very fast, which I'm not mad at at all, and also very deserving. Shout out to Russell Westbrook. Greg: Yeah, that just that just let me know he done done. You know what I mean? it's like it like Jax: Yeah. He was never yeah, no. Greg: it like it's over, over. it's like I know you retired, but do you wanna nah when they when they give you the jersey retirement, you done made it abundantly clear. I left that game. Jax: Yeah. I'm glad they did it fast though. I'm glad they did it fast. Greg: Yeah, and and and and another thing that this let me know, this not it's not that this is a shocker or anything. Yeah, they they hate they hate Christopher Paul, nigga. They hate that nigga guts. the Clippers. They hate that nigga guts. No, no, no, okay, so you know what I'm saying. But just the Jax: Okay, what's that? I'm like, okay, see don't hate him, but yeah, the Clippers they want the Clippers want him to Greg: the fact of like how swift and fast and every like this is how you supposed to treat your stars, nigga. I don't know, I don't Jax: one one is a competent organization, the other is the Los Angeles Clippers, so Greg: Absolutely. But even then it's like, damn, I'm surprised New Orleans ain't did nothing. Jax: That's also very true. I'm not gonna lie, Greg: And and it's not like and it's not like New Orleans is like busy doing shit. Them niggas losing. Them niggas need s Jax: They would look like that they need to boost some morale. Get Chris Paul n his jersey retired. Greg: No, I'm saying they they they need a little feel good story. Put a little OG hornets up there on the rafters. Nigga, yeah. Something. Jax: Yeah. Invite Chris Paul to the locker room. Maybe give y'all niggas some advice. Maybe he can give y'all some advice. Greg: That nigga fuck with Trey Murphy and them. Like, yeah, I mean they he still fuck with the with some of them people there. So like I yeah, that's I don't know, man. That I feel like because the Los Angeles Clippers were so egregious, people don't like. People kinda gloss over the fact of New Orleans really ain't doing shit either. Jax: The Clippers had a lot w like, to shoot them just a little bit of bell, the Clippers have had a whole lot of stuff going on, so Stuff stuff they brought on to themselves completely, but regardless. Greg: that you that Mark Phillips meme of that nigga hiding behind the wall while Desmond getting jumped? That's that's the that's the c that's the New Orleans pelicas. Watching the clippers get their ass beat and nobody paying attention to it. Jax: A the thing I've actually have I idea I have seen floating around is like OK C might retire Chris Paul jersey too, because one, he, played that part in helping SGA develop. But two, when Katrina happened, Hurricane Katrina happened, Greg: He yeah, he was a we Hurricane Katrina, yeah. Jax: they all played in Oklahoma City for that that season. So and it it was a big reason that OKC got a team in the first place. Greg: That was that was the reason yeah. That's the reason why OKC got a got a team for sure. Jax: So if they retire imagine okay C retire Chris Paul jersey and the Clippers still having or the Hornets still having. That's disrespectful. Or not the Hornets, but what is it, the the Pelicans still having. That's disrespectful. Greg: That is disrespectful, but man, it would make sense low key. Cause you are a Jax: Hold on. Greg: sole reason of why this team came to OKC. Jax: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Greg: So I can understand why OKC would retire the jersey if they did. I don't think they will, but if they did, that wouldn't even that wouldn't even surprise me. If you got niggas in Miami out here r retiring number twenty three and a nigga ain't never suited up. Jax: Insane, insane. Greg: Insane dick eating. Insane. I will never forgive them niggas for doing that. That's crazy. Insane. Niggas thought they was niggas thought the league was finna follow super high in that. Nigga, no. Stop that. but shout out to Russ though. And you answer and you answered Jax: Yeah. Well deserved, well deserved. Greg: the question because I'm about to ask you like, is is this the is this the greatest OKC? Jax: Yeah, he's I like he's the greatest. Yes. What he I don't think well well you probably know, of course, I don't think he's the best 'cause I still K D is still that for me as far as Thunder players. But I do think he's the greatest so far. Just SGA will probably end up surpassing that, the longer he plays, just 'cause he already got the championship. He got the two V Ps, so just keep running up his stats and he'll end up being the greatest eventually. But right now it's Russ. Russ is a pioneer, so Greg: You ever think SGA would pass up K D in your eyes? Jax: no. As far like peak for Pete, like no, 'cause we've already seen like I don't think SGA can like not saying he's bad or anything. don't think he can get much better. Like, I don't I think he's at his prime of his powers right now. Like maybe he'll be able to shoot I mean he can already shoot threes now, so I I don't really think so. Cause K D was like SGA would make him seven feet tall and faster and more athletic and could also shoot better. It's just He's like an upgraded version, so that's why. Greg: Yeah, just better playmaking. That's about it. Not to get sidetracked, I I really do hate when that nigga when that nigga passed the ball. Jax: Who Katie? Greg: I don't like when he passed the ball. Shoot that shit, nigga, please. I would Jax: He didn't used to be a bad passer, bro. I don't know, he used to be nice, bro. Greg: I'd rather this nigga shoot I I would I would rather this nigga shoot over a double team than try to find an open man. I don't like it. I actually despise it right now. Nigga, just shoot the ball, please. And that's the respect to him. I just trust that your shot will go in more than you making an accurate pass. I don't wanna see that on my screen. Jax: Which feels crazy to say, but I get where you're coming. Greg: Cause that nigga's so efficient. That's the most efficient nigga I've ever seen. But without further ado, Jax, it's hard to give you a blind reaction when it comes to sports sometimes because I just feel like you are on Twitter way more than me. So sometimes I feel like you see these videos before I get there. I do feel like the Facebook nigga sometimes. But I'm gonna try to attempt. To give Jax: So Greg: you a blind reaction. And I'm gonna ask you if you agree with this sentiment or not. We'll have a quick convo about it, it won't be too long. But I saw this. This video I just want to get your thoughts. With Amon Schumper. Have you seen this? Jax: yeah. Greg: Damn. Well, it ain't it ain't blind, but we will watch it. Town. Jax, how do you feel about Amon Schumpert in this in this moment? Jax: I agree with everything he said. Literally every single thing he said, bro. I I hate when just like maybe just like a personal thing, I always hate when sports leagues and stuff talk about we need to extend the regular season or even shorten the regular season or what have you. I'm not a fan of that because just like historically I like looking at and being able to like compare different errors and compare different errors and it makes stuff easier, makes records I feel like they count better. when the numbers are equal, if it's gonna be harder for somebody to break well, no one's gonna no one's gonna break LeBron's points record, but just for the sake of an argument, it's gonna it'd be harder for somebody to reach, you know, X amount of points if they play sixty five games a year, 'cause it's gonna take however many however many more seasons to reach that total. So that's why I don't really like when people try to mess with the number of games. And then yeah, players are getting hurt more and play like what do you say, play differently? 'Cause they do play like a real deal, explosive style of basketball. And I think if they really do want to, save their body, which is what they should, play a different way, try to take a little bit better care of your body. But then also, injuries and stuff are inherent to a lot of these sports, so it's r you're gonna get hurt anyway. So that's what you have to what you like sign up for when you do it. So I just Greg: Yeah. Jax: I agree with everything he said though. Greg: Yeah. I I especially when it comes to this season right here. Th these injuries is not due to a lengthy schedule because we got so many injuries right now, and we ain't even two weeks in. We ain't even a full two and a half, three weeks in to the season, and we got a lot of injuries. And I think there's you know, there's there's a lot of those medical doctors on Twitter that'd be like, yeah, there's really and I take it with a grain of salt. But it's like, man, like there are There isn't really a a s comparison or data that proves that even like this load management stuff is is helping. these rest days that Jax: Yeah. Greg: are helping, like, you know, your body gonna do what your body gonna do. And I know that a lot of people are doing like preventative surgeries and preventative stuff so that they can play for a longer period of time. hence why we have an Anthony Edwards out for two months so that he can play a fifteen year career instead of like a hard ten. But yeah, I'm I'm just not I'm not buying it. I know a lot of people out here talking about, well, the season used to the season used to start later. I feel like we keep pushing it back earlier and earlier. And I was like, we're only pushing it back earlier and earlier because we complain about players playing back to back so much. So if we have to start it earlier so that we can limit the amount back-to-backs that we have in an 82-game series, yeah, it's probably gonna start earlier because. eighty two games still gotta get fit into the schedule. So yeah. Jax: I still do feel like I feel like, season or the year three hundred and sixty-five days though. I do feel like the eighty-two game I'm fine with the eighty two, but y'all could also space them out just a little more to cut down from back to backs. Greg: Yeah, I feel like but I feel like the more that we space them out, the more the season's gonna start earlier. And that's fine. Me personally, that's fine. You you feel like it doesn't have to start earlier? What you mean? Jax: I don't think it has to start earlier, personally. I don't really be thinking it has to start earlier. Nah. I feel like it could end later. Greg: Well, shoot. Earlier, later, it's gonna get extended. So it's like either Jax: Fair, fair, fair. I guess so. Greg: either have either have a have an NBA finals in the on on Independence Day or start that bitch the first week of October. It's kinda up to you. It's I mean, look, I wouldn't mind it being extended link. Jax: All over a fourth of July NBA finals wouldn't be bad. Greg: You're not really competing with nobody. What you competing with baseball? They finna be in a lockout. Jax: Ha ha. Greg: You'll be fine, nigga. but yeah, I I think I think there's merit to what he's saying. And Jax: For sure. Greg: just had to had to put that out there because I think people do harp on the schedule in the 82 games a little too much for my liking. Sometimes they kind of get contorted with the the sixty-five game rule. That's totally different. I don't agree with that anymore. but that does not mean anything with the eighty two. Keep it keep it eighty two. Once upon a time playing all eighty two was normal shit. That would that nobody was bat Jax: Exactly. Greg: in the eye like, my God, he played all eighty two. Jax: That's what that's what Chubb was saying. He was he wasn't wrong. Greg: He wasn't. Shit, LeBron in twenty eighteen. It his his his magical infamous twenty eighteen all eighty two. They call that nigga Iron Man for that. That used to be a normal Derek Fisher here. Nigga, what are talking about? Crazy. Evil world we live in. But enough of basketball, Jax: Yes. Greg: man. Let's let's let's get into football, man. Jax: Yeah, since we're since we're talking about injuries, let's go ahead and get right to it. after being out for like what three, four weeks with a high ankle sprain, Lamar Jackson finally came back to play against the Bills. Everybody was like, this is gonna be a great game. Lamar versus Josh Allen, first play of the game, breaks his thumb. Because he threw the ball, and then as his hand was coming down, it hit like a D-lineman's helmet, broke his thumb. So he's going to be out. He's gonna have surgery, he's placed on injured reserve. He may or may not miss the season. They don't know that yet. And to replace Lamar, they went ahead and signed, or rather, went ahead and traded for none other than Jacoby Brissett. Because their backup quarterback, Snoop Hunt or Tyler Huntley, he got hurt. I forget. I think he had a turf toe issue. Greg: turtle, yeah. Jax: And then their third string backup, who was like an undrafted dude from I don't know where, he also got hurt with his ankle, and he was like the only quarterback on their roster. So on Thursday night, they just taped up his ankle and rolled him out there. And he did absolutely nothing because he's not an NFL quarterback. So they had to go ahead and trade for Jacob said. Greg: Yeah, and that nigga not and that nigga not good. Jax: He's not an NFL quarterback, Mike. Greg: Yeah, but at the same time, they that nigga was like a walk on or whatever the case may be. And I'm not and the person I'm about to say, I'm not saying he good either. I just said I would rather have him. Y'all niggas got rid of Diego Pavio. Jax: You would rather have Diego Fabio then Greg: Y'all got y'all dead ass had Diego Pavia. yeah, y'all kept this nigga over Diego Pavia. Granted, I don't think Pavia good at all, but at least that nigga had some high. Jax: Isn't Darek Puppy like five seven? Greg: At least that nigga has some Heisman vote. Shit, who is this nigga? I don't know who this nigga is. But they always gonna find Jax: Graphics. Greg: Hey, but I I I will say, shout out to the shout out to the Ravens. They go they always gonna try to at least find somebody black. They gonna always try to at least find Jax: I ain't mad at at all. I'm not mad at it in Greg: but I'm not mad at that. Jax: the slightest. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm not mad at it. I am mad at that defense though. That defense ain't got shit to do with Lamar Jackson. Jax: I don't know why they're so bad. Cause one, it's the Ravens. The Ravens is always known for defense. So there's that. Number two, they have good play. Roquan Smith, he used to be good. Now he seems like he's bad. Kyle Hamilton is good. Marlon Humphrey is no longer good. Matabike, that D-lineman, he is good. I don't know, bro. The team is just. They just don't feel like the Ravens of old. But Greg: Trey don't Trey don't even look like Trey. Jax: Yeah, I I haven't heard how many has he done anything, Trey Hendrixon? Let me see. Greg: I don't know. I know he ain't got no double digit sex. I I know that. Jax: I don't think anybody does to be honest. But Greg: Yeah, it's not a it's an unsackable year, I guess. Jax: yeah, Trey Hendrickson only has two sacks this season. Awesome. Greg: Wow. Jax: But getting back to the Lamar Jackson of it all, this is a old clip. Nah, it's old. Yeah, it's old. A couple of months old. From the Dominique Foxworth show. And it's talking about Lamar and his interesting contract situation. I wanna play it 'cause I think Greg: That nigga been on it. Jax: you said what? Greg: That nigga been on it. He that nigga Dominique Fox. Now granted, he's a fan of the Ravens, so of course he's gonna he's gonna be like locked in with Jax: And he played for them. Greg: it. Yeah, he played for them, but he's also like he's been like I think he was a fan even before then. Before he was like, I think as a kid, I could be wrong. he might be from the area. Jax: He might be from there too. But Greg: But he's been he been talking about this shit. I ain't gonna lie. Jax: Yeah, he was the first person I seen bring this up. Like I said, that's the f he's the first person I heard even mention this, but it's basically Lamar. He can do whatever he wants at the end of the season. And with that in mind, and also considering how the Ravens handled his last contract negotiation, if you were Lamar Jackson, Greg: Yeah. Jax: would you want to re-sign with the Ravens? Or one, if you were Lamar Jackson, would you want to come back this season? And then two, would you want to re-sign with the Ravens? Greg: man, it's when it comes to this season. Jax: You see that. Greg: If I'm healthy enough, I'ma try i if I'm healthy enough and there's a chance that we can make the playoffs, I'ma try. I'ma I'ma try my best. Now, I would have to be at least eighty five percent. I would have to be eighty five percent because I feel like nobody in the league is a hundred percent like at the end of the day, you you got some type of nag injuries here or there, or whatever the case may be. Jax: Right now I'm looking at the Ravens record. They are currently last in their division. Greg: Yeah, but they're five aren't they below five like the five hundred or something like that? Jax: They're they're four and f they're four and five. Greg: this I think it's a tight race in that division. every everybody's at least one loss away from that shit getting bumped in in that division from being Jax: Yeah. Greg: bumped up or bumped down. 'cause I think what the highest record is what, five and three or some shit, if I'm not mistaken. Jax: The highest record Pittsburgh is six and two. Then the Bengals Greg: Six and two. Jax: are five and two. The Browns are five and three. And the Ravens are four and five. Greg: Mm, okay. They they're they're starting to niggas are niggas are starting to separate from the Ravens a little bit, I ain't gonna lie. But Jax: Exactly. Greg: I would just have to assess the situation. If I'm at eighty five percent, I'm looking at the team right now and be like, okay. but at the same time That that's how I feel about this season. Would I sign next season? No. I want to be the first nigga to do this shit NBA style because it's like I don't think I've ever seen an NFL quarterback have his way like this, and it's not via trade. Like Deshaun Watson got his way, but like it really wasn't even his way for real. Like nobody wanted to go to Cleveland. But at the end of the day, 230 mil guaranteed, you made history, my nigga. So it's like that's crazy. But for Jax: The fact that it's Deshaun Watson with the first fully guaranteed contract in the NFL history is insane. Greg: And he the re Hey, and he the re and he the reason Lamar got screwed the way he got screwed. So yeah. Nah, I'm not re-signing. I don't first of all, I don't even know you niggas like that for real, for real. We we got new niggas in the building now. All right. And respectfully, the niggas that are no longer in this building. They look in decent a tad given their circumstances. Niggas won't talk Jax: Yeah. Greg: mad shit about Harbaugh. Nobody, nobody fucks with the Giants. That is not from New York. But without their starting quarterback, them niggas is surprisingly still in the playoff hunt. Now, that's more about the NFC East than anything. But still, nigga, Jax: Yeah. Greg: they don't have their starting quarterback. Another nigga that you left, Todd Munkin, he went to the Cleveland Browns. Jax: He is hooping. Greg: Nobody thinks anything highly of the Cleveland Browns. And they may not have a backhoe QB, but bitch, they got Deshaun Watson. Nobody thought highly of this nigga. They kept telling this nigga, Shador, keep warming up. You're gonna be in this bitch soon. They are. Jax: So I know Shador is starting this Sunday 'cause Deshaun is has a concussion. So Shador put already stuff, he's starting. Finna be ass, but still. Greg: Absolutely. But these niggas is five and three. These niggas are five and three with a better record than you. And I don't want to hear, Lamar's not here. Nigga, so it's the Cleveland Browns. You shouldn't Jax: Exactly. Greg: need Lamar Jackson to be better than the Cleveland Browns, respectfully. Snoop Huntley, your pro bowler, should be enough. Granted, he got injured too. And a lot of things are starting to disintegrate. But y'all start, y'all were looking bad even with Lamar on the defensive end anyway. So nah, Jax: Yeah. Greg: if I'm Lamar. I wanna I w as a fan, I wanna see how this nigga moves this NBA contract. I wanna see I wanna see what this shit looks like NFL style. Cause I've never seen it happen. Not like this. Jax: Truthfully, I don't really I don't think he's gonna go nowhere. I'm not gonna lie. But Greg: Send that nigga to Miami. Send that Jax: Yeah. Greg: nigga to Florida. Send that nigga to Tampa. Send that nigga to Well, they like Tre they like Trevor Lawrence. So he not going to Jacksonville. Jax: Yeah, they do like turbo lights. Greg: But man, send him one on four to team. That nigga love Florida. He loved home. Send him back home. Jax: The Dolphins suck, though. So there's that. But they will have, They're gonna end up with Jeremiah Smith, though. So. When does it win? Greg: Well and and what the fuck are the Ravens? Yeah, and what the fuck are the Ravens right now? They don't s they don't even they don't look good. Jax: You're making you're making you're making relevant points. You're making Greg: It took you, it took, it took you took you that it it took them niggas putting a white man under center for them to say, all right now, this O line kind of crazy. This this O line a little ridiculous, right? Bitch, this O line been bad. That nigga Lamaris is amazing. Jax: Yeah. Yeah, Greg: He can just juke niggas and and evade stuff. And and then you have Jax: Lamar is the he was the thing holding up he was like the the load bearing wall for the whole for the whole franchise to be honest with you. He was holding up a lot of that stuff. even the Greg: sorry. Jax: defense looks worse without him, which he don't even play on that side of the ball, so Greg: No, I'm saying I couldn't even get my Zay Flowers. This nigga Zay Flowers playing great this year. Y'all wasting a a great Zay Flowers year because we always slay the Zay Flowers because that nigga do too much and fumble the ball or or drop a pass, whatever case may be. You got Derrick Henry, loving the death. He's a hooper. That nigga is always a peanut punch away from that ball falling out of his goddamn hands. Mark Andrews can't catch no more. it it looks it looks crazy. You got Al Michaels not doing a goddamn thing when Justice Hill is front of that goddamn. Jax: Michael's he isn't that that's not a Raven problem. That's an Al Michaels problem. He's he's been, he's been I don't even know how long he's been commentating or whatever, but he is terrible now. he needs to Greg: Ha ha ha! Jax: stop it, bro. He's not good. Greg: That nigga, hey, that nigga clearly is at the dust. Yeah. He is like, and he is Jax: Justice Hill clear he clearly ran in for a touchdown. And now Michael's like, let me see. Did he step out of the No Greg: bitch. I'm thinking, I'm thinking Jax: I was like, what are you talking? Greg: my is my feed delayed? Is my fe is my video moving faster? Jax: He was like, Did he step out of the round? I was like, No, he was like he was by the sideline, but nobody was there to push him out. he was hit a clear path today, so why would he? ow Michael. Greg: And that's and like I said, and I don't want people to get this misconstrued because I'm not saying that he has to be enthusiastic because these niggas are getting blown out. This is a garbage time TD. But that nigga genuinely did not know he crossed that bitch. I know he was squitting his eyes. I think that's that's an eye problem, my nigga. That's a vision problem. His vision is gone. That nigga too hot. he he too hot. I don't know where they put him in in the press boxes, but nah, that's too hot for that nigga down. Give that nigga a television on this on this counter. I think they're supposed to have some. Jax: Michaels, bro, you've I don't know how much money you've made, but you've made enough, brother. You can you can retire. Greg: He need that booger he need Booger McFarlane seat that that he used to have that's damn near like on on the on the floor. Jax: Booger got he got a contraption he's in a super villain thing, bro. Greg: That nigga Professor X with his shit. That's what our Michael that's what Jax: Literally. Greg: our Michaels need, nigga. That's crazy. What would you want what would you want Lamar to do? Jax: But well we we talked about what would I want him to do? I wanna say leave, but I don't know where. Where and also last time he did try to leave, everybody was acting like a hoe. So honestly, if real shit, the perfect place for him to leave to go to would be Atlanta. But I don't think it's gonna happen because they had the they had the chance to do it last time and they said, you know what, let's not. So I'm the fucking Greg: Now that now that is a culture team. That is for sure a culture team. Jax: Yeah. Greg: That's a culture team right now. You add Labor to that bitch. My God. Niggas still rally behind Jax: But Lamar Greg: niggas niggas still rally behind Pendix. Jax: Yeah, should they should they is the question. But Greg: Whoa, I'm j you're not telling me w how I'm not here to tell you what they should do. I'm just saying just telling you what the reality is, nigga. Jax: But Greg, we talked about the Jacoby trade that already happened. it's the trade deadline is coming up. It's happening November tenth. And I got a couple names for you. I just wanna see, see where your head is at as far as should these people get traded, should they stay with their teams, etcetera? So it's a few names. I think it's ten, nine, nine or ten names. And I'm gonna present them to Greg: That's cool. Jax: you and just tell me what you're thinking about them. Greg: Okay. Jax: First on the list, we got Ashton Gente. Yes, he was a first-round pick last year. They benched him this past game for a fourth-round pick. And they gave that fourth round pick 20-something carries. And Ashton Genty only got two. And he hasn't been good this year. You see, he's averaging only three yards and carry, only one touchdown on the ground, which is crazy to me. You think they should trade him? Greg: 'Cause he been he been he been catching a lot of receiving touchdowns. I I only know that because I got him on my fantasy team. Nigga still putting up Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: niggas still giving me 20s here and there. He he'll he'll catch like a little five yarder in the end zone type shit. That's it it it's padding the stats. But I didn't know it was one on the ground. That's tough. I'm not watching Raiders games like that. Should he get traded? Jax: Respectful. Greg: absolutely not. Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: Absolutely not. Are you fucking crazy? No. That Jax: I just just just just throw it out there. Just wanna see where your head is at, just Greg: Hell no, that nigga said get rid of a weapon for who? No. No. Jax: Next name we got Tony Pollard. Greg: That nigga play for the Titans, right? Jax: Yeah. Greg: Trade that nigga now. Get him out of here. Jax: Pollock has been going crazy these past few weeks. I think he had like what he Greg: Nigga had nigga had nigga had two touchdowns in the first quarter alone with like seven Jax: Yeah. Greg: minutes left to go in the first. I'm like brother. Jax: He ha he's had over a hundred these past two games as well. he's been cooking lately. I don't know, he's revamped his career or whatever. But so you think the Titans should trade him? Greg: Trade him 'cause y'all are wasting this d what how what's it? I'm trying to find his age. Scroll down. Jax: Tony Pollard is twenty nine. Greg: Trade him. Trade him. The fact that he's running like this at the age of 29, nigga, that's God's sin. That Jax: Yeah. Greg: nigga's defined odds right now. Go go go trade high on this nigga. He's not. The history already shows and dad already shows you he gonna be this productive too much longer. He could prove it's all wrong, but trade him while he still has a lot of value. Jax: Next thing we got Buddha Baker safety for the Greg: Keep that nigga there. Jax: Cardinals. Greg: Keep him there. Y'all c y'all keep him, y'all. Jax: You say keep Greg: Keep keep that nigga there, man. Keep him there. I think he I think he li Jax: Okay. How Greg: I think he like it in Arizona, man. I ain't gonna lie. Jax: He has been in Arizona forever, but real fact how old do you think he is? Greg: Nigga it gotta be i in the thir in his thirties. I'ma say thirty three, thirty four. Jax: He's only thirty, and Greg: Fuck How long has this nigga been in the league? What? Jax: Exact I thought he was so much older. He've been in the league since 2017, bro. I thought he was so much older. Greg: He got into the league. He got into the league young. Cause 2017, bitch, I was 20. I was like 19, Jax: Exactly. Greg: turning 20. That nigga. Jax: I was like I didn't know he was this close in Ace, but I I swore Budabaker was thirty three, bro. Greg: I didn't well that's that's not our fault. I just didn't know you can get into the league that young. Most niggas not get into the league at twenty. That's a crazy young age. Jax: That's that's fair. That is very fair. Greg: 'Cause had he came in twenty two or twenty three, yeah, okay, yeah. Thirty two, thirty three. That that that makes a little bit more sense. You you in college you coming out this bitch twenty? Jax: Yeah. Greg: Howdy fin that's that. He must have graduated early in high school. But yeah, keep him there, man. I I think I think He's been there that long. treat that nigga like Devin Booker, man. Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: Overpay for that nigga. They have Jeremiah Smith, right? Not Jeremiah Smith, isn't it? Jeremiah Lee. They yeah, they got Jeremiah Jax: Jeremiah Love. Yeah. Greg: Love. y'all just need to go find a quarterback. see if y'all can finesse your way into like a Trinidad Chamberless or something or something like that. Like they're as bad as Jax: I don't think they want any more short they don't want any more short quarterbacks over there in Arizona. Greg: Right. Yeah, but at the same time I don't think he won Arch Manning either. but Jax: Go get Lamar. Greg: it something but like they as bad as they have been I feel like they're a quarterback away. They do have weapons. They got Trey McBride. They got some other people. Jeremiah Lowe. This is a nice situation. I'll keep Jax: Ne next up we got Brian Thomas Junior. Greg: This is Mm Damn, he's only twenty four. Yeah, get him out Jax: Yeah. Greg: of here. Try try to get some value. This is this is tons. Jax: And I just want you want you and also the viewing audience to notice that normally when I've been clicking through these players, they have like their stats next to them. He doesn't have no stats next to his name. Like you see Buda Baker, he had one tackle or Greg: Yes. Jax: whatever, he had the pick. You see all them have their sta he don't got their stats next to him. I looked to know he had ten catches for like 115 yards. Greg: Yeah, he's just not getting tar well granted, I will say they do have a lot of He they do low-key got a lot of targets out there. they got a lot of players that are Jax: But Greg: all similarly on the same level. I don't think there's a Parker Washington is probably the clear number one. His number one. Jax: Burk Washington is the number he is cold. He is cold. Greg: But everybody else after Parker Washington seems like They can all I I feel like they're irregulated targets. Like one day, Jacoby Myers might get one. Other days, he might get thirteen or or or what not thirteen, but like he might get more. Like the only person that's consistently getting real deal targets is Parker Washington and then Travis Jax: Jesus. Greg: Hunter in in his design packages cause when you put that nigga on offense, you have to give him the ball because why else will we just put this nigga on offense if you're not gonna Jax: Exactly. Brian T like Greg: Get the nigga to mix, so. Jax: Brian Thomas Jr. he don't make sense to me because he was so good as a rookie and then he just became garbage after and I don't even know what happened. And he's from LSU. That's the wide receiver school. So it don't make no sense to me. But next Greg: Yeah. Jax: name we got on the list: Kirk Cousins. Greg: Fuck no, I'm keeping I'll keep I'll keep Jax: You keep What if the Vikings wanna throw you throw you a pick, bro? Greg: it would have it would have to make sense because a lot of y'all niggas is first is coming with a need. if you trying to trade for Kirk Cousins, respectfully, as good as Kirk Cousins is, you are being desperate if you're trying to, try to trade to get Kirk Cousins. Your season is dangling right now. So yeah, I'm I might have to bleed you out a little bit. You're gonna have to overpay for Kirk Cousins because Kirk Cousins gonna come with a bag anyway. You gonna sign that nigga to an egregiously large contract anyway. So you might as well just get your money's worth. But I think I think allowing him to play Jax: Basic. Greg: out and and stay here and and let Fernando Mendoza, you know, learn from him and and stuff like that, I I I I I like what's going on. Jax: Okay. Couple more names that'll be Greg: shit. Jax: out of here. But Khalil Mac. Should the Chargers trade him? Greg: I'm I'm gonna be so honest, I low key forgot that he still played for the Chargers, I'm not gonna lie to you. I think for his mental health I would I would want to trade him. I don't even think I don't I don't even care who wins the trade, whether it comes with the Chargers or whoever whatever team he goes to. I just think Jax: The winner if he gets the winner will be Khalil Mack. No matter who he goes, the Greg: Yeah. Jax: winner's him. Greg: Get that nigga Khalil Macub out of here, man. this this is not Nah man. That's th that's not it, bro. and seven? No. Jax: I still the Chargers still don't make sense, bro. And they still haven't fired no they haven't fired nobody yet, haven't traded nobody yet. They just they're being ass for no just Greg: They moving they moving just like Miami of last year. They were just nobody getting traded and nobody getting nobody going anywhere into the off Jax: They Greg: season. Jax: they move in like the Pelicans, bro. Everybody thought, the Pelican, they're gonna trade every no, they didn't do a single thing and they still suck. Greg: Greedy, just like the the the fantasy the average fantasy owner that's like one and seven in their league, Jax: yeah. Greg: and they just got like a random Jamar Chase just on the shelf. He unproductive. He j he just keeps declining trades that's being offered to him. He's like, No, bro, no. You're not going anywhere. Don't matter. I'm keeping them. Man, nah, man. Jax: I'm not gonna outdo that too, cause fuck y'all. Greg: Me too, yeah, me too, bro. I only did the only way I'm trading a star player is if I need depth to avoid a punishment. Jax: Yeah. That's Greg: That's the only thing. But other than that, man, nah, man. Niggas niggas out here sinking with the ship. We gonna ride this out. Jax: Next we got Derrick Henry. Greg: Trade him immediately. Get him out of there. Get him out of there now. It is like a super Jax: Okay. That was very that was very fast. What's what's driving this decision by you? Greg: man. Look, when it comes to a running back, get off them niggas as fast as you can. I get that he has been defying the odds and defying times, but nigga, I'm seeing, I'm seeing red flags. Now, his body's not breaking down, but god damn it, a fist hates to see this nigga coming when they go punch that ball. I'm seeing that shit too. The way I look at Derrick Henry is the way I look at Kevin Durant when he tried to pass a basketball right now. I do not like it. I do not like it. I'm at the point where I would want Derek, I'm at the point right now, I want Derrick Henry to start running like this. I want him to just start running like this right now. I saw the flashes last year when that nigga fumbled twice against the Buffalo Bills when they was up so many. And I saw that nigga have. Jax: Yeah, no exactly crazy. Greg: A generational meme of that nigga swinging his helmet and hitting the bench. like that. Like just frustrated. Fucking hilarious, but still, my nigga, like Lamar's legacy is on the line right now. Lock in, my nigga. Like, it's over. I think Lamar is not. I'm going off of the standpoint of I don't think Lamar's coming back. So if I don't think Lamar is coming back and re signing with us, I'm moving off Jax: Yeah. Greg: of, I'm moving off of Derek Henry. while he still has value and while somebody still thinks they might have they might be a running back away from getting this shit together. I don't know what team would ever say s no s no shit like that, but you know. Jax: I've heard people say the Vikings might trade for a running back, but don't think that's gonna help them 'cause I Greg: I just feel like there are higher people on that market that I would go before I get to a Derrick Henry. And I'm sure you're probably gonna talk about him too. But yes, I agree. Absolutely. Jax: Speaking of Jonathan Taylor. Greg: Trade that nigga expeditiously. He needed to get traded yesterday. his Jax: See ya. I don't know what the culture Greg: his wife has been doing generational numbers on the internet. You need to go ahead and just trade that nigga, man. Jax: She keep making the videos Greg: And honestly Jax: like, are we in trade rumors? I'm social stop please. But then he probably he's probably okay with his wife doing it because he probably wants to get traded a little bit. So he keep making them videos saying we want to be traded. Greg: Well, let's keep it a bug. This nigga has always wanted to be traded. He's been wanting to get traded for some years now. Ursay was just on some bullshit. and then once that nigga passed away Jax: That I I remember that. Yeah, I do remember that actually. Greg: Yeah, that nigga was like been ready because they they was tr they was talk that nigga Ursay was talking to that nigga in sane. That nigga was on a Jax: Yeah, Ursa told him I f I remember we I remember that clip, now I think about it. Yeah, I remember this. Greg: golf court talking like a slave owner, nigga. Like that nigga was so it sounded super crazy. and the Jax: I forgot about that. Greg: only thing that died that down was them niggas having some sort of success last season by God's graces. We don't know how that happened. Because Daniel Jones was under center and they went and won seven straight games. And niggas started quieted down. Urshay passed away. so niggas was like just calmer. The lack of cocaine, a little bit more competency. so now that they're losing and back to their old losing ways, hey yeah, okay. Back to what I was saying in 2024. Get me up out of here via her. So yeah, trade it trade him to the Vikings. That's who I want the Vikings Jax: And Greg: to go get. Jax: finally, George Pickens. Greg: Please stop If it was up to me, no. But I'm not mad if it does get done. If you do get trade. This is a truly for me, this is truly 50 50. I won't be mad at either or. Me personally, it just seems like every time I think about buying a nigga jersey, that nigga is gone. Jax: Ha ha. Greg: That nigga wanna get the fuck on somewhere. And I was one I literally was like, yo, let this nigga ball out again this season. I'm getting this nigga's jersey. Now this nigga's in trade rumors again. It's like fuck. Okay. Jax: The only the only cowboy jersey you can get is eighty eight and yeah, just get just eighty eight 'cause that that works every every whatever iteration eighty eight works and the Emma Smith jersey. Greg: Yeah, eighty eight is so timeless, even when they get traded, everybody knows eighty eight and the culture behind it. So you can't go wrong whether Jax: Yeah. Greg: it's a lamb, Irvin, or Brian or any shit, even Pearson. But anything else is a crab shoot. And don't nobody look tough in no Dak jersey for real. I've never seen a nigga I feel like I feel like the women I see a lot more women with the Dak jersey than I do like niggas. I feel like I see a lot of niggas wear eighty eight or Emmy Smith and I see a lot of the girl fans they wear four. Jax: I I think I actually see a lot of Dion twenty one. I see that a lot. Greg: I see Dion I see I I see the I see Dion too, for sure. I need some obscure shit. Jax: And of course we always see a lot of a lot of Roman jerseys 'cause duh. Greg: for sure. Yeah. Got gotta have that for sure. Jax: Well that was, all the trade rumors, but we got one more little football topic, which is the one and only Brandon Ayuk. He's he's making his way he's trying to make his way back into the NFL. he showed up at the Forty Niners facility today. not to force their hand, but to pr lay the foundation for a compromise. When Kyle Shanahan was asked about this, this is what he had to say. So it's safe to say No love loss between the coaching staff and Brandon Ayuk. And also, before we recorded, I s I got like a notification. It says the NFL tells Brandon Ayuk that he owes the 49ers about 13 million dollars. Greg: Damn. Jax: 'Cause guess 'cause he didn't like honor his contract or whatever. I guess Brandon, are you? I don't really know who Say everything gets worked out and the Fortnite be like, you what, you can get reinstated and whoop whoop and blah blah blah. Will a team sign him? Greg: Ha ha. Jax: For this season. Greg: No. Fuck no. Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: No. He he need to learn he he need to learn a a a different a different craft. Cause it's getting to that point. When I start hearing niggas like Antonio Brown say, Yeah, he might be taking it a bridge too far. That's not what you want to hear. I don't I don't wanna hear a nigga like Antonio Brown say no shit like that. You are doing bad things when Antonio Brown is like, I don't know if I would have done Not at this stage of your career, nigga. Did this you did this a little too soon. You were supposed to get you supposed to get more bread in a and and and a longer contract before you started going crazy. Jax: Yeah, but I don't even think he got I don't think he ever really got paid from that big contract he signed. 'Cause it's that same play. Greg: Hell no. Cause yeah, that's that's crazy. And he just didn't do any he didn't do things professionally. he just didn't understand how petty NFL owners was gonna be or NFL management was gonna be, bro. you just not finna just do all this and think you're gonna get away with it. Mind you, this is the same organization that used to employ Colin Kaepernick, nigga. You weren't gonna get away with this. Jax: I don't even know if I would call Greg: You could. Jax: owner call do I think NFL owners and stuff like that are petty? Yes. But I don't even know if I would call this pettiness, 'cause it's just like nigga, you was burning every single brick. you was talking Jaden Daniels' mom. that's supposed to be your best friend, nigga. What what do you mean? So Greg: no, yeah, for sure, for sure. But it was just like the fact that you think you could do whatever you want and the forty nineers was just gonna release you at some point because you were a nuisance. No. No. Jax: Yeah, I don't Greg: We gon' keep your rights. We gonna keep we gonna drag this as long as we want to. Just so you can get a message. Jax: And honestly there was so many better ways. If he wanted to get traded, there's so many better ways to go about it. But there's so much so many better Greg: Way too many ways. So many better ways, bro. Jax: ways to go about it. And he decides not not do any of those ways. So such such such. Greg: You don't got no supporters about this shit either. Jax: Yeah, no. What what's A B backwards? B A. Brandon Ayuk. Greg: Him. Jax: But last thing, last burst thing we got though. I don't even know if this is this wouldn't really be a victory lap for y for you, but live golf is shutting down. Greg: I wouldn't say a victory lap, but it doesn't hurt my argument of what I had going on 'cause remember we reported on well, f for people that don't know, Live Golf is shutting down, and they're also filing for bankruptcy 'cause hey nigga, they can't pay these agreed contracts. You know why? Because Saudi Arabia backed out back in what? June or I back in back Jax: Something like Greg: in the spring, because we had we had talked about this back in April or May of Saudi Arabia back in backing out. Jax: Yeah. In in the warmer months they backed out. Greg: Yeah, they backed out. And I knew at that time, mm, if they're backing out, it's only a matter of time. I didn't know it was gonna take this soon for shit to just end. But yeah, it it it's over and Saudi Arabia didn't need Live Golf to be great long term for people to get the point of how powerful Saudi Arabia is. They can let you know how powerful they are just by removing their money and watching what them niggas do once Saudi Arabia leaves. They couldn't stand for six months. But this was the same organization that forced the PGA to even merge with Live Golf. To make some shit happen. so like we said back then, hey, try your best to be mindful of how much power and control you are giving Saudi Arabia Jax: Mm-hmm. Greg: companies, my nigga. stop playing Jax: Yeah. Greg: with these niggas. But yeah, there there's a lot of things. I think even when we were talking about it in the warmer months, we were like, hey, like, what does this mean for The other Liv Golf people. Hey, them niggas still need their checks. They still need their money that they were promised and paid for and contracts that they signed on the dotted line. They still need that. And when it comes to them trying to get back into PGA, you're dealing with stuck up white people that are gonna make up these rules. it's already an automatic, one year ban or one year suspension off rip to even get back into PGA. And then even with PGA, they gotta they gotta jump through a few hoops if they really wanna get back into the PGA tour. But look, when PGA is the only thing there, you do what you gotta do. So I I I don't know what this means for the the top people, the top guys. I don't know who the top left golf guys are. Jax: All the top guys are probably They'll probably be fine to be on 'cause I think the top the top live golf guys were like the top golf guys and they all made X amount of money. So they are not or they shouldn't be hurting for any money. I don't I don't know what they be doing in their spare time, so Greg: Yeah, it's the the top the top live guys were a combination of rising star niggas and very like established older niggas that didn't give a fuck no more. So like the best example the Jax: Nicholson. Greg: best examples that I can give you is like in basketball terms, they picked up probably they picked up a like a a Yaxel. And they picked up a Russell Westbrook. You know what I mean? a big name, an up-and-coming star that's not necessarily a number one pick. But if Jax: Yeah. Greg: uninterrupted, he'd be one of them ones. Like he's he's predicted to be pretty good. Versus like the Roy McElroy's and all them niggas that are like in their prime. Jax: No, Rory said no. Greg: Yeah, Ro yeah, Roy said Roy Roy is like PGA. Like he's he's Jax: Yeah. Greg: PGA, so like he's good, but like PGA has the top prime niggas right now. niggas that are in their prime. They have their LeBron James's and KDs and all that other. they have their their star studded niggas. And you have niggas like Tiger Woods that wasn't trying to do shit like that. but I think it's this Jax: They they over tired with a billion too and he was like no Greg: Being able to say no thank you to a billion, boy, that means you have money. You have money, nigga. Jax: Tiger, but t the type of things Tiger enjoys, bro. He can't do all that they wouldn't have been in Saudi Arabia, would they? Okay, never mind. Yeah. Greg: No, they have been in the s they would have been in the States regardless. It wouldn't have mattered. It wouldn't have mattered. But I feel like I feel like I think he did that mainly because he knew his son was passionate about golf, like he was gonna go the PGA route. And I don't think he wanted Jax: Yes. Greg: anything that was gonna disturb his son from getting Jax: So Greg: through. Cause it 'cause it seems like these niggas are giving niggas a hard time to get back in the PGA. and that nigga Charlie, that nigga is hooping. That nigga is hooping, bro. Jax: Mm-hmm. Greg: He is fucking nice. That nigga just scored a hole in one, I think yesterday. Or three days ago, I'm like, damn. Jax: He only was he only seventeen. But then Tiger was young when he popped off too, so Greg: Yeah, overly overly young actually. But still. Crazy duo. Jax: But but Greg, I do think it's about that time. Greg: It is about that time. It is NFL pick season. Week week nine? These weeks is going by Jax: Something like that. Greg: fast, man. Jax: They all run together. Greg: Yeah, especially when your team is not good. But Updated Records, Jax, moving on up there. Had a good week. Sixteen and twenty-six. You still have a long way to go though. But yeah, yeah, some not Jax: So you didn't have to see that. Greg: not some solid wins. Solid wins. I had a couple losses myself, twenty-five and seventeen. But Jax: Lord Jesus. Greg: Jacks, we already talked about the Jags. But let's go into the Sunday night game. Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus the Chicago Bears. Jacks, who are you going? Jax: what's the weather look like? 'Cause if it's raining, I'm gonna take the Bucks because they just will run the ball forty seven straight times. But Greg: Well it's gonna be it's gonna be in Chicago. Jax: Regardless, I think I'll I'll take the Bears though the they've been hooping. And they just got Jeffrey Simmons and he turned their defense up something crazy, even though it's only been one game. So I'll take the Bears. Greg: Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go to Bears too. Hoping for a good Bucky Irvin game, regardless though. for fantasy purposes, man. I'm in the playoffs here. I'm in the playoff hunt right now, nigga. I used to pray for times like this. Monday night, Buffalo Bills versus the Minnesota Vikings. Both six and one. both winning Jax: Is just me. Greg: in different ways. Jax, who do you w who who do you have? Jax: Very different ways. Greg: Crazy offense. Crazy offense versus crazy defense. Hey, this might be Jax: Yeah. Greg: like a little this might be like a little nice one, low-key. On some low-key shit. Jax: Actually, no, no, no. I'm taking the Bills because Ky well, Kyle Murray has been playing well in the first place. But he's hurt. So they're gonna start Carson Wentz. But then again, Greg: yeah, yeah for sure. Jax: like Kyle Murray's been bad, so what if Carson Wentz is better? But I think I'll I'll still go with the Greg: You think it's gonna be like a Gardner Minshew type of thing? Jax: Bills. Shit, maybe, because it I'm not an NFL quarterback, but it seems like having Justin Jefferson on your team, I feel like it'd be sort of easy to just throw the ball to him. But it's hasn't worked out like that for Kyler Murray, so I don't know why. So Greg: there's been multiple white people to get it done. Maybe he just maybe he's just well, JJ McCarthy was white, so that none of voice everything I was about to say. I would say maybe Justin Jefferson only thrives with white QBs. Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold. But JJ McCarthy's right there. That nigga don't play like no white quarterback though. I'ma go the Bills regardless though. I will be going the Bills. Should be. I I I will be hoping for a defensive masterclass though. That would be nice. Jax, what is your lock of the week? Jax: My lock of the week, give me the no, shoot. Actually, gimme the Texans over the Chargers. Cause Te Texans, if y'all can't Greg: Like a grab my pink. Jax: win this game, then I don't know what to say. Texas, if y'all can't Greg: The good. Jax: win this game, I don't know what to say. Greg: Nigga grabbed my pick. Fuck. Okay. what's a good lock? There's not a lo there's not a lot of good locks. Dallas, I I can't do that right now, man. Y'all can please don't piss me. I don't even wanna I don't even wanna look in Jax: I I don't even want to look at their t I don't wanna even look at that team, bro. Greg: their fucking direction, bro. Fuck that. also Jax: Ha ha ha. Greg: I'll say Okay, I'll mm Fuck it. Let me go let me go Detroit over Miami. That should be solid. Jax: I was thinking about that one too. Greg: I was stuck between that and the Chiefs and the Jets, but I'll I'll I'll go. I'll go lines. Jax, what's your what's your upset? Jax: My upset Greg: This nigga going just over Chiefs. Jax: I was thinking about it, but I was like, man, I pick I picked it just too many times, bro. I I can't do it no more. I don't know about the upset. Actually wait no Sadur starting. you know what man? I'll put I'll put I'll put I'll put my wrist up, man. Let me give Greg: Man, put your ri put your wrist up. Put that goddamn wrist up, nigga. Hell yeah. Jax: me give me the Browns over the Saints, bro. We'll we'll see what happens. Greg: He said I g He said I guess, nigga. Jax: We'll see what happens, bro. Greg: my upset. Damn. Mm. I'm gonna take a gamble. Cardinals over Seahawks. Cardinals over Seahawks. I wanna see I wanna see Jax: Can Mansu continue it? Greg: I wanna see what Gardner Mishou look like with a supposedly better defense. I just wanna see. I wanna see 'cause they got some Jax: They're finna put that nigga in the walls of Jericho. Greg: Okay, might. They might. But fuck it. Fuck it, why not? Fuck it, we wrong. Alright, Jax, it is about that time. The moment we've all been waiting for. It's hot takes of the week, Jax. What is your hot take of the week? Jax: my hot take, and there's no way they ever proved this hot take, unfortunately, but if the Dallas Cowboys had the coaching staff of the of the Rams, I think they'd make the Super Bowl. And also probably win it, man. Fuck it. 'Cause Dallas Greg: Nigga, if we had the nigga, if we had the coach and staff of the Minnesota Vikings, we won championship, nigga. Jax: I was thinking about that, but I was like, I don't know though, because for some reason their offense sucks right now, and that's it doesn't make any sense why. But it's just like Dallas has good players on Dallas' offense should be like, yes, they scored 30 points last game, but there was at the end of the game, they're still horrible, settling for field goals and all that. Dallas' offense should be a buzzsaw. But then specifically going to the defensive side of things, All the players that they got in the offseason were players that have been productive in other places. And as soon as they they've been like productive starters at other places, and as soon as they get to Dallas, they look unplayable. And that just I have to say that's probably like I'm not in the locker room, obviously, but that has to be a coaching thing. I just think if you have competent coaches like, you know, like the Rams have, 'cause I think their defensive coordinator, I think he's probably gonna get a head coaching job this upcoming season or whatever. I think he's a really good coach and Sean McVeigh is one of the best coaches like ever in my opinion. So give Dallas the cowboy give them that coaching staff. They're going to the Super Bowl and probably winning that bitch. But we unfortunately have Brian Schadenheimer and Christian Parker who I really wanted to be good and it's it's not it's not it at all. At all. Greg: Yeah, you can't really hide behind bad draft picks. You know what I mean? It's one thing to be like, what do you expect? We drafted Mozzie Smith. Okay, Mozzie Smith not there no more, nigga. Now what? You got other niggas there that have been proven, like Quentin Williams, this Joey Porter Jr. guy that niggas think very highly of. you have granted, I know the nigga Jax: I'm really just like the secondary because who what Kobe Durant, he was good when he played for the Rams, I believe. he was solid. Jalen Thompson, that safety. Nobody watched the Cardinals, but everybody said, he was a solid safety with the Cardinals. Same with PJ Locke. I think he played for the Broncos. these were all solid players. And now they look Greg: Right. Jax: like they're the worst players ever. Caleb Downs I don't was he a top ten draft? I don't know if he was top ten exactly, but like he was one of them high pedigree Greg: He might have been he might have been ten, exactly. Jax: Yeah, he might have been ten or in that rank, but he's a high pedigree draft pick. everybody thought he's one of the best players in the draft. And they got him looking trash. It he's objectively not like he's been good at every single level of football his entire life. And now you've reduced him to not being good no more. Like I don't it it has to be Greg: They had that nigga they had that nigga Trey McBride talking to that nigga crazy, bro. Jax: Crazy. Greg: Y'all let y'all let that white man talk crazy about my first round pick and it's really just that irked the s that that irked the shit out me, man. Not gonna lie to you. Jax: 'Cause like Trey McBride is good, yes, but like you know Caleb Downs is good, bro. Stop like he's it's not his fault, bro, they suck. I promise you it's not. So that's it. Greg: I'm saying this but this this this the type of shit that be making me agree with Skip Baylor sometimes. Jax: That nigga said, execution. Greg: What Jax: They haven't executed anything. In fact, I need to see them executed. I was like, all right. And then you see a Quintan Greg: Nigga said, I heard Jax: Williams here. He was like, come on, Skip, you gotta be better than that. Like, I hate Greg: No, nigga! Jax: I hate when players do that. Like, yes, I understand where you're coming from, but you know these niggas is just making jokes, bro. Like, in you're Greg: come on. Jax: Skip, you have a high, you have a bigger like you know, nobody take anything that nigga says serious, bro. So don't is Greg: come on, bro. Jax: He's Greg: That nigga said I heard I heard Quentin Williams say the word execute thirty-two times. And he said, I wanted to execute thirty-two of you niggas. is he wrong? No. No, nigga. Jax: Niggas wanna You're you're call you're calling for our dead like no nigga, it's a joke. You know it. Stop being Greg: No, nigga. If that's hey, if that's what y'all got an issue with, my god, y'all would hate us. We have niggas kicking buckets, nigga. What the fuck? We be having niggas kicking buckets over here. You would hate us. We'd be public enemy number one, bro. This is crazy. That we ain't getting no brand deals from the Dallas Cowboys, but this is how they're rolling. Because. Jax: Yeah. Greg: And we talk about them niggas religiously bad. So I agree with you. I agree with you. Dare I say we would look better with Mike McCarthy and I'm no I don't even wanna I didn't want that. But we wouldn't be we wouldn't be this goddamn bad. Jax: Yeah, I was thinking about that. I'm like, man, 12 and 4 was nice. 112 and 4 is nice. I wouldn't be mad. Greg: come on now. We started taking twelve and four for granted. I was like, he did win twelve games every year. But still, nigga, God that Man, what? Shit. Kellen Moore ain't have us looking this bad. And I didn't like that. even these are people that I wasn't fond of being back in the building. I wanted them to leave. But nigga, we gon' downgrade. And and and talking about a head time and and and not to say that head coaches can't have confidence. But being a first-time head coach, I'm not really trying to hear you talk about how great you are, nigga. I know I'm great. I look all that, all that, all that all that, all that words of affirmation shit, Jax: It's like I'm an elite play caller, maybe. Actually, no, don't say let other people call you elite. Greg: all that words of affirmation shit, if I had a problem with Michael Parsons doing it, nigga, I'm gonna have a problem with you doing it. And Michael Parsons was backing it up. I just didn't like how he was talking. But at least he was backing the shit up. At least he had the stats to prove whatever the fuck he was saying. We don't know who you are. Jax: Yeah, you can't go you can't go out and say, I'm an elite play caller. And then yes, you score 30 points, but then you can't score in the fourth quarter. You can't score in overtime. You gotta settle for field goals. Matter of fact, in overtime against the Cardinals, their defense miraculously, by the grace of God, gotta stop. They got the offensive ball back. And you three and out. Nigga, come on. Not even having Greg: Yeah. Jax: C D Lamb or George Pickens in, like what a Greg: Hey, no funny shit. Regardless of what was going on, I definitely needed I I definitely needed that kicker fire the next day. There we shouldn't have even been in OT. You missing the extra point, you gotta go. That was crazy. Jax: Mean he made the game he made the game winning field goal though, so Greg: Doesn't matter. You can make it up all you want. That was crazy. Crazy shit, bro. My hot take is that if you agree with anything that Kim Moki does. I judge you severely. There is nothing in this world Jax: What is he doing now? Greg: that Killmonkey does that I'm going to be a fan of. a lot of people are bringing up or talking about this generational win that they had against Texas Southern, 109 versus like 109 to like 22, or like the biggest margin Jax: Yeah. Greg: or whatever. And I'm like, first and foremost. At first I was I was gonna understand and be like, okay, it's a money game. I get that it's a money game. Blowouts happen. I have my gripes about money games, but I understand that it is important for HBCU to get that money. Like it is money, my nigga. So I get it. But once I started looking at some of these games or like some of the clips that was coming in, I'm seeing these LSU women. Full court pressed these women, and the starters are in the game with five minutes left in the game. That's loser Jax: That's not disrespectful. Greg: shit to me. Call me a soft ass nigga. Call me whatever the fuck you want to call me. What? For what reason? There's nothing you are learning from this. You're not like. Y'all y'all know first of all, y'all not even a full press ass team like that. Y'all don't even do that for real. That's not your game. that's not like stuff that you normally do when you're playing big ass teams. So and yeah, it's not like this is some rivalry where it's like Jax: There was no there was no reas just ba there was no reason for any of the thing for any of the way you acted. Greg: No reason. There was no reason. There was no reason for this. This is a time where you clear your bench, let the bench player play, let the the the 15th woman on the on the bench, get a couple threes up. Jax: Let your walk on play. Greg: Yeah, let the starters get hype on the bench and do all the little thing things to get hype and have a feel good, whatever the case may be. Let yeah, do Jax: them let them flip the water bottle like LeBron did. Greg: all that. even if you want to make it a learning situation, This is the time you get the experimenting lineups and seeing what niggas can do on the bench, see some some some shit, treat this shit low key like a preseason game. And I just don't understand anybody that's defending this shit. This is stupid. And most importantly, I just believe in sports karma. Get your star players off the court. Get your star players off the court. Because God forbid it was my team, and I find out a nigga get injured on some bullshit. Jax: Yeah. Greg: No, I mean, you know how people still blame Tom Thibodeau for D rolls? They're never gonna Jax: They're never not gonna blame him for that. Greg: forgive that nigga. There's been times where Derrick Rose has defended and put his life on the city of like, yo, Chicago. I promise you, like, that was all me. I wanted to be out there like that. He's been trying his best to give Tom Thibodeau Jax: And they're just like, no. Greg: mad PR. It's not working. We're like, nigga, fuck that. Cause that ACL was the start of the end, nigga. What are you talking about? So regardless if it was my team or not, if it was my team, I'd be pissed too. Jax: Very much so. Greg: Nigga, we d this is a team that's supposed to quote unquote have championship aspirations. And you got these niggas in meaningless games. Fuck that. this is on the heels of this same woman out here trying to try trying to convince us that recruiting a Russian and a rook Ukraine woman on the same team was a good idea. It can help stop a war. I don't agree with nothing this woman. Jax: what are we doing? Greg: I don't agree with nothing this woman does basketball-wise. Actually, she don't be having that shit on to me. There's not a lot of things, like, there's nothing. Jax: She like, it's times when you could be like, okay, that's I guess you could say she had it on all but a lot of times no, you just all this sequin bullshit Greg: No, this is fine.
