  Speaker 1: It is a think about it Thursday here on Stu
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Gotson Company on Fox Sports Radio. Mike Norvel, the head
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: coach at Florida State, go to join us PFT from
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: part of my take. They have a book out. It's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: doing very very well. I sent them a text tailor.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I welcomed him. I congratulated him on joining the Author's club.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: He and I now have something in common. We have
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: both written books. How about that?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: And he laughed at me.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: And you guys also did the move where other people
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: wrote a majority of the book.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: A lot both have your names on. Yeah, yeah, I
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: would phrase it right.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: They outsourced a lot of their book to guests to
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: write chapters for them.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, but at least I wasn't trying to hide it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Dan Stanzik wrote the book. I have said it a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: number of times, and his name is on the book.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's on the cover.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: No, I just meant the guest the guest part of it,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: where Andre Dawson shouldn't win MVP. Here comes Andre Dawson
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: to give a rebuttal.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: That was a tough call to make. I have to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: be honest with you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine the level of shame you have to
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: not have to call Andre Dawson and say, can you
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: please write a rebuttal to why I don't think you
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: should have won MVP.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: It was a very generic conversation at the start. I've
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: known him for a long time. He's a great man.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I love him to death. He's one of the sweetest
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: men you will ever meet in your entire life. It
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was very generic. Hawk wrote a book, you're in it?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: What about me? Your MVP season? Okay, need you to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: write a rebuttal. We'll send you the chapter that I wrote.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I asked Stanzy to write a fake chapter and send
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it to Andre Dawson so he wasn't offended when he
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: read the real chapter because I was afraid he would
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: not write a rebuttal. But he got the chapter, he
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: liked it, he enjoyed it, and still wrote the rebuttal.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But it was very generic at the beginning of that conversation.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I remember it. He's like, you wrote a chapter about
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: my MVP season? Why would you do that? I'm like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you'll see when you get it, and just write your
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: thoughts in a rebuttal for me, And he did it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I've had this thought before too, because in two thousand
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: and three, so I didn't have your thought in my
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: head while I thought this. But in two thousand and three,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Alex Rodriguez won the al MVPEP when he was playing
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: for the Texas Rangers. Right, the Texas Rangers were seventy
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: one and ninety one that season.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Lees, by definition, how valuable can you be?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, so seventy one wins?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but check out Dawson's MVP season, But a.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Rod couldn't have been that valuable in the two thousand
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: and three. In the two thousand and three season's Steve Gotts'
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: point because if he wasn't on the team, what they
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: win twenty games and they still finished in last place?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, Can you guys look up the year Andre Dawson
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: won the MVP. Can you see how many wins the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: last place? Cause because I think it was like fifty
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: seven or something like that. Like that's just you can't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: do that. You can't have a guy win the MVP
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on a team that finishes in last place and I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: run seventy wins. I could see.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: So the nineteen eighty seven Chicago Cubs finished seventy six
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: and eighty five. They finished sixth in the NL East
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: at the time.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Did he win in eighty seven? Was that the year?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: That's what it said?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, not bad.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: See, I have a problem usually the other way. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: don't like when they just go, well, that's the best team, who's.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: The best player on the team, give him the MVP.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Because I think that is like, nobody from the Rams
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: should win the MVP this season.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: In the NFL, they just should. Nobody from the Dodgers should.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Win the MVP this year, right, which is why I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: think Otani won't win it and Pete Crow will. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I'm with you on that because the team is so
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: loaded that there should not be an.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: MVP, meaning if the MVP went down, that team can
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: still have success.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, the opposite end of that, Mikey, it seems like
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: the Coach of the Year never goes to the coach
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: on the best team because everybody's like, oh, this coach
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: had all these expectations, like if the Rams go seventeen
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: and oh this season, yep, mcveigh's not getting Coach of
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: the Year because of the expectations the Rams came into
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the season.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, if he goes undefeated, he's not
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: gonna I'm with you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on this take. If they have one loss,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: two losses, three losses, Sean McVay is not winning NFL
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, but if they go undefeated, he might.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: If McVeigh go's seventeen and oh and the Titans go
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: nine to eight, the Titan the voters will be racing
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: to the ballots to put in their ballots for Robert solid.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: So what you're saying is you should be offended if
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: you're a player on a team and the coach wins
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Coach of the Year, because they're basically.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Saying, well, you stink.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: But I mean this coach, yeah, he got you, he
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: got you to five hundred, he dragged you to five
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: hundred and.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Meany McVeigh wins Coach of the Year, but Stafford doesn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: win MVP or something like that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: No, I'm saying, and.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: I'm saying if you're a member of the Tennessee Titans,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: right nine and eight, Robert Salah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you stun.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: You're sitting there going, what are.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: They saying about me to say that his job was
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: done so well? Yes, that we got to five hundred
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: because I'm on the team.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Because that would be the case for Robert Salah. He
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: got those guys to nine wins.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: It's not so much that you should be offended, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: your team just outperformed expectations heading into the season. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: think the one award that I've heard people say that
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: they were offended when they won it. Like when I
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: was at North Carolina, they had these this award ceremony
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and it was called the Rammies, and they gave out
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the most Improved award and Mac Collins, my roommate at
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the time, got the most Improved award. And as he
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: got it, he doesn't break stride on the stage. He
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: takes the award, he throws the award out in the trash.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: And when everybody asked him, when everybody asked him why
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: he threw out his most improved, he goes most improved
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: just means you weren't anything the year before.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it might mean you were injured.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, what's wrong with improvement?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Why don't people want their improvement honored or recognized?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I don't get it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, improving is improving?
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Put that on the poll. Is improving?
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Improving?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Wait? So what were the names of these awards? The Rammis?
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: The Rammys like the Grammys, but our mascot was Ramseys,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: so they just called it the rams.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Who thought of that? I mean probably the athletic dundee? Yah, Mike,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: there's no way McVeigh is what it? Well, hold on,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: let's do this. Put it on the pole tailor. If
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh goes undefeated this season, will he win Coach
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of the Year? Okay, because that's the only way he's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: gonna win Coach of the Year, Mikey, do you agree
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with that?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: If he goes seventy to know he's going to be
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the NFL Coach of the Year.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: I think that's probably the only way he wins it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Did Belichick win it the Yeah? I think they did.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I think Belichick won it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: The best coach is from the best teams, though, like
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: they historically never win this award. Like you look at
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: acc basketball, look up how many times coach k won
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Coach of the Year for how good Duke basketball is normally, right,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: he doesn't get it because they're looking for the teams
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: that just outperform expectations. Like if Todd Munkin goes seven
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: and ten, I think Todd Muntin might be the coach
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: of the year in Cleveland.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I would say if he goes US six and eleven,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: he might. I mean about that exactly. He carried those
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: guys six wins.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, it sounds like these coaches are in those
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: awful HR meetings at these big companies where they do
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: a performance review and they're like, well, you've met expectations,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: but we need well I went seventeen to O what
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: do you mean, Well, we just want you to do
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: a little.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Bit better, to exceed expectation. Nobody gets exceed expectation. Put
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: it on the how many of those did I get?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: If Todd Munkin wins seven games, well he win coach.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Of the year.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's such a great Who won coach of the Year
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: last year? Was it McDonald? It was probably McDonald. Now
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that team had low expectations headed into the season. They
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: were not one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Who was it? It was Mike Vrabel, Okay, I mean
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and that team went to the Super Bowl expectation, low expectation. Yes,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in the runner up was Liam Cohne and the Jaguars.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Huh low expected, low expectable. Well, how he got the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: most out of Trevor Lawrence. It wasn't Trevor, it was
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: William Cohen. I think sala is right for winning Coach
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of the Year this year. I do.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: We're gonna sprinkle, yes, sprinkle.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Because no one views that team as being very good
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: headed into the season, and if he exceeds that very
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: low bar of let's say six or seven wins and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: gets him the nine, uh, he's gonna win it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I'm with Taylor on this. I think Salah is boys.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, there should be an award for meeting expectations.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Really, like, if Sean McVay goes like sixteen and one,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you are like, yeah, that's that's kind of what we thought.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Congratulations, you did exactly what we thought.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So you won the meeting X award. I mean, yes,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: what does he get.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: A plaque with no name on it?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It's boring.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, yes, it's a boring award.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think a guy should be awarded
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for merely meeting expectations. I think he needs to exceed
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: expectations about that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Your expectations are that high, right, If there's no way
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Sean mcvayh can win Coach of the Year, then he
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: should be able to win something by doing what we
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: think he should do.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Has Dave Roberts ever won manager of the Year in baseball?
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Perfect examples to how long have the Dodgers been the
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: standard of baseball since Dave Roberts has been there a
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: long time. He's won Coach of the Year one time. Okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: manager of the Year?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Sorry? Right, he can't win it, yeah, I mean he
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: just can't. He can't win it unless he goes one
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: sixty two and oh.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: And it's because, yes, it's because they're looking for whoever
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: is managing the Pirates to go five hundred and give
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: him the award.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Marlins, the Marlins manager is always is always in contention
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: for Coach.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Of the Year, no question. Yes, I think they've won
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it twice. Mattingly won Girardi once Samson fired above.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Ricardo said four times, they've won.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It four times.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: He had that off the top of his head.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: He knew it, yeah, matting Lee and twenty twenty and
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: skips Schumacher in twenty three.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right Schumacher. Wait, Girardi won it. No, yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Girardi did win No. Six, Okay, you know six and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: then he got fired right yeah, yeah, by Samson.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: You should not have more Coach of the or Manager
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: of the years than World Series titles.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Ooh, that's totally fair. Double yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: They have four Managers of the Year awards.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They have two World Series championships, two of them since
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. That lousy organization. Go ahead and count
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the amount of teams in Major League Baseball that have
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: won two World Series championships since ninety seven. I'm guessing
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it's like five, maybe less. But so what is your
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: point here that you can't win You can't have double
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the amounts of Manager of the Year awards as opposed
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to World Series trophies.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: You would think that if you had four Managers of
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: the year, he'd be better, you'd be better, a better organization. Right,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: But again, again that just goes to the point that
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: manager of the Year, Coach of the Year, it's a
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: sham award.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: It is it's based on expectations headed into the season.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, naturally the Brewers manager this year would be
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the manager of the year, right, or maybe Craig Council.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's another great franchise that always gets managers of
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the year, the Browers. It has to be like a
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: small market team.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Because getting to the postseason is just enough, right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Like a Yankee, a met, a Red Sox, few and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: far between. Those those types of organizations are gonna win
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: coach of the Year.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I will tell you the Red Sox they got rid
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of their manager early in the season, right, they replaced
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: him with whom that guy might win Manager of the year. Whoever.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: That guy is Chad Tracy.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Tracy, I mean that guy is in line for a
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: manager of the Year award.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you, I feel like those big markets they
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: need to, like behind the scenes, win two or three
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: before they actually get one. Like Joe Tory, you were
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: the best manager last year, you're the best manager this year.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: You do it again next year and we'll give you
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: Manager of the Year.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: So I'm looking at the odds right now, Stu. Yes,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Chad Tracy is actually second for al manager of the
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: year odds from the Red Sox.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Who's first the White Sox the White Sox.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Expectations.

• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Taylor has a nominee for the quietest move that was
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: made in the offseason that could have a massive impact
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on this NFL season.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: How about that, Mikey, We are getting close to ball.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, So I was looking at the list of the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: biggest moves and there was one very clearly towards the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: top that I feel I didn't get the attention it
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: necessarily deserved in terms of the level of impact. Yes,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: And when I'm thinking about it, the Dolphins offense was
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: so bad last year that people seem to have forgotten
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: just how good Jalen Waddle can be, Which is why
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: my quietest move that can make the biggest impact is
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Jalen Waddle going to Denver, where I think he has
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: a chance to have a massive season in Denver because
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: he finally enters an offense that's built to maximize what
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: he does best, where he still had nine hundred and
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: ten yards last season for the Dolphins in a struggling offense,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: and now he gets Sean Payton, who can kind of
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: get his speed and explosiveness all over the formation. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: he's across from Courtland Sutton.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Now right, Mikey says, we're talking quiet moves here. I'm
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: wondering if when we get to the actual move, the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: trail in action, we should whisper it. You know you
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: should whisper You want to try it again with Jalen
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Waddle to the Broncos. I think it's Jayalen Wattle going
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to Denver Broncos because, yes, Bonnicks as a legitimate field
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: stretcher who could also turn short throws into explosive plays.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's stranger voice, yes, And if bon Nicks could take
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: another step and Sean bon consistently can scheme Wattle into space, yes,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think Jayleen Wattle could re establish himself as one
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of the NFL's most explosive receivers. He's bad at whispering.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: It was weird.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: That is an odd thing that Jalen Wattle would be
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: moved from the Dolphins to the Broncos. Jayleen Wattle is
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a great wide receiver in the NFL, and Taylor's right,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: it kind of flew under the radar. How about that?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, and with it with the Denver Broncos. The
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Denver Broncos are in the Super Bowl last year. If
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Bonnicks doesn't get it hurt correct, Because that ten to
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: seven AFC Championship game against New England, when they had
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Jared Stidham starting in the second half, what was a snowstorm.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: That game was sneakily one of the worst playoff games
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: of all time.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, by the way, yes, it was just one
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of the worst, one of the worst. We all noticed it,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: we saw it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: There was something about the allure of like Drake May
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: and like the Patriots going back to the Super Bowl,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: where it felt like there was some hype to it,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: but if you like really digest the numbers, it was
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: kind of just a trend of Drake May underperforming in
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: the playoffs.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: I remember we spent a week trying to convince ourselves
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: that Jared Stidham could do this. Yes, we spent a
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: week having everybody on who's like, you know, Jared Stidham's
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: been around, he's a guy who knows the offense, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: he's probably not gonna do too bad, I think.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: And they lost.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Ten sem Yes, even that we did that, knowing that
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: he couldn't do it, we still did it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I mean to be fair to Jared Stidham and the
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: people that we had on that were trying to convince
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: us when you lose ten to seven, Yes, and there
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: was no offense in the entire seat.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: He did his job, He kept him in the game.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, the entire second hand ragged it into the mud.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I mean that game was essentially whoever's up at halftime
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: is going to be the winner of this game because
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the conditions are going to be so bad and denver
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that neither offense will be able to move the football.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And I think Jared Stidham just got the short end
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of the stick. That the Broncos were down at halftime.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Yep, you can't spell stick without the st and Stidham.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: How about that? What a ridiculous thing. So I just
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: want to be clear on what it is you're saying here, Okay,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I just want to be clear that we were all
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: so happy and emotional that the Patriots had gotten back
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to a super Bowl because everyone wants to see the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Patriots in the super Bowl so badly that we forgot
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: what a lousy game we just watched and.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: There was like the built in excuse with the snow
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: where it was like, Drake May very clearly after the
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: super was playing pretty banged up. But I think because
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: of that snow game in the AFC Championship game, we
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: kind of just looked past it and said, Oh, Drake
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: May hasn't been that good against the Chargers in the playoff,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Drake May hasn't been that good against the Patriots in
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Then he gets the snow game. It felt
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: like people kind of forgetting and trying to distance themselves
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: from Drake May having a very underwhelming postseason.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Sure you mentioned the Dolphins earlier. How many wins does
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Jeff Hafley need to get to to be Coach of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the Year three?
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Coach of the Year three?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Key, I mean the bar is set so low for
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this team. Yes, if he gets the six he will
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: win Coach of.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: The Year in a runaway. Yeah, the first ever unanimous
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Coach of the Year voting.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Iban once he gets the six wins, if he gets
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: there in week twelve, they'll give it to him right
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: after the game of that undefeated undefeated Sean paid.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Sean McVay is voting for.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: You see what that guy did, right, mcveighs that team
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Mcveigh's twelve and zero afletely is six and six. He's like,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: give him the award.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: So how do you guys feel about joint practices and
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: reporters at joint practice.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I don't I've never really thought about it, to be
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: honest with.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: You, you never really think about it until one reporter
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: or our team's reporters are saying how bad one team
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: looked in it. Because today I was on social media
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: and the Giants and the Dolphins are having a joint practice,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: and I follow Joe Shadd on Twitter from Palm Beach Post,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure Joe Shadd pom Beach Post. And I'm
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: reading Joe Shad's tweets and the way he is depicting
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: the Miami Dolphins football team this season. I was getting
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: ready to race to put put money on the under
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Where this is all within a string of let's say
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: forty five minutes.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, these are the text You're gonna give us the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: whole text string here, Yeah, I mean the the tweets, tweets.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I'm tax I'm texting you for some reason.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You and Schad cutting it up about that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I believe it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I believe it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: So the first tweet that sends the alarms, the Dolphins
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: offensive line in blocking scheme is off to a very
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: slow start against a strong Giants defensive front.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, they just got rid of Dexter Lawrence.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, dex Lawrence not there. Okay.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Next tweet, the Dolphins need their offensive line to be
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: better than this. This is five minutes later. He tweets
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: this constant pressure, absolutely nothing in the run game.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Let's keep in mind John Harbaugh treats this like a
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: super Bowl.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I mean he does.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the only thing. That's the only saving grace
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: I'll get for the Dolphins on this. It was a
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: rave you were going up against the wrong team in
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: the joint practice I.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Still have as the Ravens coach the Giants coach.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Tweet three here from Joe Shad, this has been a
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: discouraging practice for the Miami Dolphins offense. Then my favorite one,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: he he, he wraps it up, he ties it with
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: the bow here. This is very ugly for Dolphins offense. First,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Giants d folks, I know I'm sending a lot of
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: post formally known as tweets, but this is bloody right now.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I think four wins, Mikey.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Maybe I'm sitting here and it's funny because all training camp,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: you get the updates and you're like, you know, I
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: get them for the Jets in eleven on eleven's Gino
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Smith was seven for seven with two touchdowns, and you're like, hey, maybe,
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: and then they have a joint practice and it was
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Geno Smith was one for seven with three interceptions and
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: a screen pass.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, if the Dolphins don't win that
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: first game in Las Vegas, it's.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Gonna be a while.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: It's a brutal schedule.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in San Francisco, after that, Kansas City, Minnesota, Cincinnati,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and then the Jets. Maybe there's a win there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: But I think in part it's a brutal schedule because
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like the Dolphins are setting this team
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: up for success where you go out and you get
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Malik Willis and then your wide receiver corps. Right now,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Caleb Douglas. Are you're starting three
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: wide receivers?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: You know what, Let's just do it all right. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: have the schedule in front of me. Yep, you ready
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: for it. We'll get back to Wyris moves in the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: offseason in just a second. Here, let's do win loss
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. Okay, let's just try to figure out
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: how many wins Halfley needs to get to to be
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in consideration for NFL Coach of the Year. We'll start
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Week one at the Raiders.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: That's a loss.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: A loss, that's all you. You listen to Fernando Mendoz
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: and tell me that guy's not winning Week one.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: All right? Ohen one at San Francisco Week two, that's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a loss. Kansas City at home Week three, that's a loss.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: It's a big loss. That's probably Mahomes's first game back too.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: All right, Owen three at Minnesota Week four.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: I think this is a loss. But this is one
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: that you're circling, Yeah, as a maybe game. You you're saying,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: we need to get this game right now.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's a must win game, right You're playing
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: off chances are dashed.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Well, I think they're already dashed at this point.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Well they're three Minnesota.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Minnesota's looking at that game as hey, we're gonna go
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: beat the Dolphins, and the Dolphins are looking at that
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: game as this is our super Bowl, So this is
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: this is the best team that we can possibly beat.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Every year a team will lose a game they're supposed
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to win, and win a game they're not supposed to win.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: The problem is no one's expecting the Dolphins to win
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: any of these.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, so this team feels eerily similar to that
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: year that Dominique Foxworth was on ESPN saying that it's
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: dangerous for the Dolphins players to go out there.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: That was the fifteen year one.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: In sixteen, they got the win gran Camrio overtime touchdown.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: They needed it. So they're owing four, right, Yeah, I
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: don't care what you guys tell me. I mean, they're
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: out four. I don't care if it's a must win,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: they're gonna lose. Oh and four.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Sure home against the Bengals Week five, that's a loss, and.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Five at the Jets in week six, Week seven, they
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have a buying I'm sorry, Well, their first win is
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that bybe Okay, Yeah, so they're own six headed into
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the bye, but they get the extra rest, all right,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: So the Jets at Jets.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: For the record, you have them oh and seven. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: still have happily firmly in the coach of the year.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Oh no, doubt right. Just need to get the three
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: right firmly in the conversations. I means just fine, but somewhere.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a loss against the Jets. Yeah, that's a loss. Wait,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: that's my Mike Frances impression.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, that's a loss.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: That's a loss.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: All right, So they're own seven home against the Pads.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Eight home against the Lions.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: That's a loss.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Nine at Colts.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Now we're starting to get on history.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Watch hold a second, not a second.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Because this is almost like a perfect game in baseball,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: where once you're oh and nine. This is probably the
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: equivalent of going into the six or seventh game with
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: a perfect game and everybody starts whispering, like and seventeen
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: is on the table.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Mikey, you're thinking about this one.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Huh, I'm gonna I'm no, it's a loss. I want
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: to get like Daniel Jones. Maybe he's hurt.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know. No, No, it's a lost.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a loss.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I think people are also forgetting how good that Colts
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: team was when Daniel Jones was healthy last season.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: By the way, you see Richardson in the preseason.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, two turnover seats.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not certain they should be rooting for Daniel Jones
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: to be hurt.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: It's terrible. He's such a terrible quarterback.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: He really is. He's just average.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: He is the classic quarterback that you just watch him
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: throw one ball and you're like, wow, that's great.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: If you look up put it on the Paul Taylor.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: If you look up average in the dictionary, will a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: picture of Daniel Jones pop up? All right, here we
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: got Mikey. You're giving the Colts. That's a loss, right,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that's a loss. Okay at Buffalop home against the Jets.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I think this is one. This is the one win.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is that's your one.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Most likely the Jets and the Dolphins will split this.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: So what's the record right now? One win and how
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: many losses?
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: One and eleven?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: One and eleven.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: He is two wins away from winning NFL Coach of
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the Year at Denver.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: That's a loss. That's a loss home against the Bears. Lost,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a loss at Green Bay loss.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's a loss home against the Chargers.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Loss. Loss home against Buffalo loss that week seventeen. Yeah, yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Buffalo sits all their starter.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, there's no no, there's another
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: game after that, So I don't know, I understand.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: What you're saying.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: All right, then that's a loss.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: So the final game, they're at New England. This might
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: be a scenario where New England has clinched already. You know,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: they have a wild card birth they won division and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: they play the Dolphins at home.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Nope, See if it was Buffalo, I had just said
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: they clinched already. Patriots are going to need that game
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: to get in. Patriots win, all right.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Dolphins for going one in sixteen this year,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and sorry to Jeff Hafley for not winning a NFL
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Coach of the Year.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
• 26:08

• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Our thanks to Mike Norvell for joining us in that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: last segment. Enjoyed speaking with him. The head coach of
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the Florida State Seminals. It is a think about It
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Thursday here Oddstu Gottson Company. We'll get to that in
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: just a second. But Taylor, what is going on with
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball? What is happening there? I mean, I don't
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: know why we're talking Charlotte Hornet's Wait, he's not a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: hornet anymore, Timberwool, he's a tea wolf. Now, I don't
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: know why we're talking NBA or t Wolves basketball in
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: August on a day where is he is out? Anyway? Good?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: So LaMelo Ball's a league pass guy where anytime he
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: does something, I want to be notified what he does
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: because I think LaMelo Ball his brain needs to be
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: studied going forward. Yeah, so LaMelo Ball gets a player
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: exclusive shoe. It comes out and interviewer ask him three
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: people of all time if they could wear your shoe,
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: who would you pick? And when you're thinking about it,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: it's like it's a basketball shoe. So maybe like Michael Jordan,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Lebron James, some of those some of those cliche answers, right.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Right, some all time great basketball players. I would love
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: for that guy to wear my shoes. That would be
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: so cool, Right.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: That's what you think a normal answer would be. But
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: as we've learned, there's nothing normal about LaMelo Ball. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: this was LaMelo Ball's answer.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: You had to pick three people to wear your shoes,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: would they be.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Jesus Martin Luther?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Game novel Nix I mean that's a good three. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. That is a solid Mark
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Luther King. I mean, yes, MLK. What do you mean
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you got MLK marching going. I have a dream that
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: one day I will be wearing LaMelo balls.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: Now, but you're what he sounded like.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I have a dream. But you're asking LaMelo Ball if
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: he could choose any three people from history to wear
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: his shoes, it's his decision, and he is choosing Martin
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Luther King. It would be cool.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: In fact, I'm not certain I wouldn't choose those three.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: He's got Martin Luther King marching just because I'm in man,
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: my feet are comfortable, I'm good.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: I could do this all day.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: And Jesus walked on water because he didn't want his
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: LaMelo balls to get wet.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, put it on the Paul Taylor, do
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: we need to check Lamello Ball's brain moving forward? Because
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. Now I'm trying to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: think of the three people I would want to wear
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: my shoes. How about that?
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: It's gotta be Jordan Well.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking Russo mad Dog. I'm thinking Francesa as well.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying definitively, those are the guys. I'm just
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Jesus is a good one.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I mean the big man, Casey, what are you calling
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Doctor King sneakers? Like, what do we call dream big? Yeah?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: The dreamers.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Ricardo just offered.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Up, Okay, who was the third one?
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Malcolm X Malcolm X Malcolm X.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Wow, Mikey, if three people could wear your sneakers that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you're currently wearing, which three people would you want to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: wear your sneakers? It's such a ridiculous question. It should
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: be the thing about it Thursday.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: I mean, this should be to think about it Thursday,
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: because I really do have to think about it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Jesus is a great one. I'm gonna
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: go Sinatra and I'm gonna.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Go just open a whole new portal. Now I'm thinking
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Bob Weird, Jerry Garcia wearing my shoes on stage. I mean, wow,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is there a jet No Taylor for you?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: It's got to be jaylen Brunson, right, yeah, Jeter all in.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: That same old Yeah, yeah, Jeter, Jesus Christ Jeter and
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: and Frank Sinatra.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Those are my three.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So I applaud LaMelo Ball for giving that answer, because
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I know that you want him to give the answer
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that you want. He did it. You want Jordan, you
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: want Kobe, and he went in a different direction. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: it's not like you went in a bad direction. I'm
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: wondering why you're objecting so much to Jesus Martin, Luther
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: King and Malcolm X.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily objecting, but you're you're saying, LaMelo Ball
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: goes in a different direction. That's the only direction. LaMelo
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: ball goes in another direction?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll? Is the only direction LaMelo
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: ball goes in? Is the other direction? Is that the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: only direction? He goes in the other direction. It's a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: tough one. It's tough to word it out anyway. Let's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: get to a think about it Thursday, Iowa, Sam, give
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: me the image.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: You know that segment?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Talk about it Tuesday on Hawkmann Crowder in Soleiro. This
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: is like that, but bigger, bigger and better, better, better,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: and forty eight hours later, this is think about it Thursday.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that bull up question before we get
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to think about it Thursday. Okay, is the wrong direction
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the only direction Lamela Ball goes in? Put it on?
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: What are we thinking about it, think about it Thursday
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: this week, which player in the NFL is entering this
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: season with the biggest chip on their shoulders?
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Obviously really always the same guy.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Tom Brady's not playing anymore.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about Brady. I'm gonna say Baker Mayfield. Now.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Whether it's real or not, it doesn't really matter.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's upset because the Buccaneers merely offered him
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars over two years, and he's gonna
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: use that as fuel for the season. But he will
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: manufacture a ship unlike anyone I've ever seen in the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: history of sports.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: I mean. So, my two nominees for players that are
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: entering the season with the biggest chip on their shoulder
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes coming back from an injury. It feels like
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: people are writing off this Chiefs team already, and Patrick
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Mahomes is probably thinking it's a good one. I still
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: have a lot left in the tank for this Chiefs
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: team to be in our super Bowl window. The other
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: one kind of going off the board here a bit
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: because he won a Super Bowl last season. I think
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold still kind of has a chip on his
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: shoulder because one believe.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I said it yesterday, one of the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: worst takes in the history of sports radio that Seattle,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: who won the Super Bowl last year, would not make
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the playoffs this year.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: They are the defending champions. And it seems like when
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: you're talking about the Seattle Seahawks, it's like, yeah, their
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: team is really good. But did you see what the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Rams did this off? Here come the forty nine ers.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: If the forty nine ers could stay healthy.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: With all due respect to the Seahawks, and I know
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: they're looking for it still after winning a Super Bowl championship,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: but the Rams did go out and get Miles Garrett
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and they're about to sign Aaron Donald. I mean they
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: also got Trent McDuffie, and no one talks about him
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: because they got Garrett and Donald's subserve what they did.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: You got one, Mike, I got two. I got too.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: We'll start with c J. Stroud.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: C J.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Stroud has been told for years that he's on a
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: championship defense and the only reason they're not winning is him.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I like that A good one. It's a good one.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Also pressure and here he's got pressure on his shoulder
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, and here's my other one.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: Imagine giving your heart and soul to an organization for
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: them to trade you. For the trade to be like that,
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: never mind, you're going back where you were. Max Crosby,
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: big chip on his shoulder this year.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I like that. That's a good one. That is a
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: good one.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Wow, I didn't even consider Max Crosby. I just thought
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: of another one too, And it's two players. It's a
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: dual chip, and it's it's a deciding rare. Yeah, it's
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: deciding who's gonna have the bigger chip because they're both
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: trying to prove the other one right.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: A couple of chips got it up.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: So this is a situation of a breakup, and once
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: you have a breakup, both people are kind of competing
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: to see who can win the breakup. Jalen Hurts with
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: the Eagles, Yeah, AJ Brown with the Patriots. I think
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: both of those players are going into the season on
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: their shoulder to say, chips, where are the ones that
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: were making it work for.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Monster chips? I'm both their shoulders. It's exceptional. Baker Mayfield,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's it's really.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Good Baker Mayfield to put a chip on his shoulder
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: because you didn't say he had the biggest chip on
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: his shoulder.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can you go with a coach?
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah you can, of course, Again, of course, I.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Think Dan Campbell enters this season with a chip on
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: his shoulder, a great one. You know, everyone's starting to
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: question whether or not he's a good coach. He was
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the bell of the ball a couple of years ago.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Everyone wanted them to be their head coach, and now
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: everyone's starting to question whether he's just a meadthead playing
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the role of head coach. And I think Dan can
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: for those. I think he's a very good coach and
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a great guy. And I think he enters this season
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: with something to prove. And when you have something to prove,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that means you have a chip on your shoulder. How
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Did you guys see the news on James Harden? Has
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: anyone seen that news?
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Big deal?
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, that's some that's hard to read right. Well,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I told Mikey about the deal during the break. I
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: said three years, roughly ninety seven million dollars, And Mikey
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: made the face you made when you drink spoiled milk.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: And I believe that's how the Cavaliers presented that that
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: contract that offer to James Harden, like, hey, this is
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: something because you open the fridge and there's milk, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you know it's spoiled, but you have to have milk
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: because you're you know, you're eating cereal. It's breakfast on
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and so you have to use that milk. And James
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Harden has spoiled milk that you have to use. And
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: so I imagine the Calves approached it that way. We
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: don't want to give this to you. I don't want
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to drink you, but I have to drink you. James Harden.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I call it the fart in the car when
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: you're in the car with somebody and all of a
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: sudden you get that that whiff and you're just you
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: just look over and sorry, it's it's it's a terrible,
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: terrible deal.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: And you're saying, that's always coming from Harden.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: That's Harden.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Yes he is the fart. Put it on the poll.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: There's hard in the fart.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: This feels like a solid between the Calves and James
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Harden because James Harden declined a forty two point three
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: million dollar player option before this offseason in hopes that
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: the Calves could add Lebron James. And then once they
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: don't get Lebron James, it's like, hey, remember that solid
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: I did you? It's time for you to scratch my back.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Here's a deal worth thirty two million a year.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Yep, they could have added Lebron James if James Harden
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: wasn't there.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: He's the problem. He's a fart.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, anyway, what's going on with his ESPN notification here?
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Mikey?
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: I love ESPN notifications, especially around like trade deadlines and
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: like free agency and stuff.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: But every once in a while you get one of
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: You're like, why do I need to know this?
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: And at ten o'clock the other night, I get this
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: ESPN new Oklahoma State football coach Eric Morris shoots and
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: kills an armadillo in his yard.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Huh, well, Mike Gundy's no longer there?
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: How about that?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: That's all I thought?
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's how they announced it. Maybe that's all I
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: was missing.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Wait, so that's I don't know. I feel like that's
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: that's a good notification. That's a notification I would want.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, when does that ever happen? Why do I care?
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, so turn them off when
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: you go to sleep? Are you in sleep mode?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: What do you do?
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Okay? No, it was ten o'clock, not eleven. Eleven is
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: when I go sleep mode?
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Taylor? Do you go sleep mode?
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: The second Yankee game, the second Yankee game goes final.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I'm sleeping within like five minutes, Mikey.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: On a night where there's no Yankee game, keep in
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: mind who I'm talking about here. This is a person
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: open bar and a wedding. He got a Shirley temple.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: He's not a big party here. We don't have to
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: worry about Taylor not showing up. He's going to be here.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: He's not getting in trouble. He's a great kid, all right.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: But on a non Yankee night, okay, where there's no game,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: what's on? Do you imagine him going to sleep?
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: It depends.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: Did he catch the seven to ten showing up the
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: new Paul Patrol movie or something.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: But he ride his bike to the theater and watch that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I have him sleeping my nine.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I mean he's thirty one.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: No, I'm a lingerer on the couch, are you?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: I just linger on the couch. I'll I'll normally get
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: fixated on a show like right now. I just watched
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: my first season as Survivor ever Yeah, and I'm locked in.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I love that show now?
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Really yeah?
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Is it season one?
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: No?
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: I started on one of the most recent seasons.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Have you gotten the Samson season yet?
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: No?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Very quick appearance in and out for first one out
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: the Door.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: If you miss the first episode, you'll miss him.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Look a cup of coffee. He could be standing right
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: in front of you and you'd miss him. My new
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: goal is to apply for being on Survivor. I think
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: I would. I think I would do well on that show.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: You think you would dominate Survivor the way you would
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: dominate Bob Goosey.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I would dominate everything.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
