- 0:13Series. Four games to three.
- 0:15Dodgers pitcher Yoshinubu the Yamamoto was named the World
- 0:19Series MVP after getting three wins including both games six
- 0:23and seven which he came in late in the game on zero days rest
- 0:27after what many are calling the best World Series in a
- 0:30generation has Rob Manfred and Theo Epstein brought baseball
- 0:33back to national prominence and it was a wild and crazy ending
- 0:39in a true shootout. Between the 40 year old Joe
- 0:42Flacco who had a career high 470 passing yards and four
- 0:47touchdowns and the Bengals and 2nd year quarterback Caleb
- 0:52Williams and the Bears ending eight with a 47 to 42 Bears win,
- 0:57the game had it all. Late.
- 0:59Long touchdowns on sidekick recoveries, big plays,
- 1:02quarterback catches for touchdowns, everything except
- 1:06defense. It was a big win for Ben Johnson
- 1:09and Caleb Williams as they try to navigate their team to the
- 1:11top of the loaded NFC North, which features no teams under
- 1:15500 at the halfway point of this season.

- 4:21I've been working all weekend and I know everybody's probably
- 4:24saying, what the hell does that mean?
- 4:25How do you keep your voice wet? Well, you got to keep it wet.
- 4:28You you got to drink water. And that's what I've been doing
- 4:30over the last 24 hours. I did 3 weddings this weekend.
- 4:35I went from Friday to Saturday to Sunday.
- 4:39It was a long process. It was probably 24 hours worth
- 4:44of DJing in three days. It's a lot of work.
- 4:47I don't know if anybody's prepared.
- 4:49The preparation behind it is significant.
- 4:52And you know, I'm a little tired.
- 4:54I, I, I actually went to work today.
- 4:56I work at a hospital and then I'm here, you know, doing a four
- 4:59hour show. It's not easy, ladies and
- 5:01gentlemen, but happy to entertain you guys and we are
- 5:04going to entertain you guys throughout the show.
- 5:08I will say this also this weather, I love the, the cold.
- 5:13I love the fall feeling here in Long Island.
- 5:17It was about, I would say, 5554 today.
- 5:21And then it started to get a little bit more chilly, looked
- 5:24like it was going to rain. It didn't rain.
- 5:26It's cloudy. And if anybody or everybody who
- 5:30doesn't know, daylight savings time was on Saturday, late
- 5:35Saturday night. So now it's getting dark at like
- 5:395:30 in the afternoon. So it's completely dark here in
- 5:43Long Island. Seasonal depression is real
- 5:48seasonal depressed when like we were talking about a bunch of
- 5:51buddies in the neighborhood and it's like once it gets to this
- 5:53point, you're like, and it doesn't really hit you.
- 5:55One of one of our neighbors, he's he's a younger dad and he's
- 6:00like, man, it really I didn't really think it was that big of
- 6:02a deal until I kid. Now he's like, I feel like a
- 6:04terrible dad because it's like, what can we do?
- 6:05We can only go to the Y so much or the the bounce house, which
- 6:09gives me anxiety even saying it. But it's like you're right
- 6:12because there's only so much you can do.
- 6:14And it's like your body tells you like, oh, it's dark, like,
- 6:18oh, I should be getting dinner ready and you're like, it's 530.
- 6:22Like what is going on, right? Now I don't like it.
- 6:24I, I really don't like it, but you get used to it because as it
- 6:28gets colder in the winter time and you could see your, your,
- 6:32you could see the, the flame or whatever you call it, like the
- 6:35smoke coming out of your mouth because it's.
- 6:37Too cold your breath. Yeah, your breath.
- 6:39I don't know what you call it, just your breath and all the,
- 6:42the, the fizz coming out of your mouth.
- 6:45It's it's a little bit different than in the summertime when
- 6:48you're sweating your butt off and you're trying to figure out,
- 6:50well, when am I going to get into the pool or if I'm going to
- 6:53the ocean, when am I going to the beach?
- 6:55I got to go to work. The beach is closed at six, 7:00
- 6:59and you can't go to the beach anyway.
- 7:01So unless you're a surfer and you, you have to find your way.
- 7:04But what is this? What is it there?
- 7:06It is daylight. Savings time.
- 7:07There it is right there, ladies and gentlemen.
- 7:10It was 2:00 in the morning when daylight savings time.
- 7:13Daylight savings time was here in New York.
- 7:17I don't know where it is anywhere else, but it's.
- 7:19I think that's universal is about two.
- 7:21Yeah, so it was 2:00 AM. Would you rather would?
- 7:24You rather be hot or would you rather be cold?
- 7:26Cold. Absolutely cold.
- 7:29The heat. See, the problem here is if
- 7:32you're too hot, you can take your shirt off all the way to
- 7:36your bare ass. You're still hot.
- 7:39You're still hot. You.
- 7:40Can't take your skin off? No, you can't take your skin
- 7:43off. So you could jump in, you know,
- 7:45you could jump in a pool or do with something of that
- 7:47magnitude. But if what happens if you're
- 7:49not a pool next to you, what are you going to jump in a cold
- 7:51shower? I mean, honestly, with the
- 7:54winter, you can put on a coach, you can put on a beanie, you can
- 7:57put on gloves, you can put on boots.
- 7:59It'll keep you warm. You can put on sweats.
- 8:02You can never be too cold when it comes to the winter time, but
- 8:07in the summertime, you can be too hot and you could be
- 8:11burning, you could be sweating, you could be leaking.
- 8:13I call it leaking because once it gets to my my ass, as we call
- 8:17it swamp ass, it's no fun, no fun.
- 8:21Poops is laughing, but it's. True.
- 8:24You get the sweat that rolls down your back.
- 8:27Dude, when I go to the gym and even now with the, you know, the
- 8:31winter time coming around the corner and I'm running on the
- 8:33treadmill, I'm walking on the treadmill, I'm sweating and
- 8:37where does it hit me? First it it it heads to my ass.
- 8:40That's where it heads. And then it starts to leak down
- 8:44my back. But it's usually on any guy.
- 8:47I don't know women because they wear thongs.
- 8:49You know, they do all they wear these like they wear nothing
- 8:53under their shorts or whatever the hell they're wearing their
- 8:55body suits. So they don't sweat as much as
- 8:59we do. We sweat like crazy and I, I,
- 9:03that's one of the reasons why I don't like cardio and I don't
- 9:06know like going on a treadmill. Now I've been doing it every
- 9:09single day and I'm so used to it.
- 9:11So it, it's not one of the fun things to do when you go to the
- 9:14gym is go on, hey, I'm going to go run on the cardio cardio
- 9:18machines. I'm going to go on the
- 9:19treadmill. I'm going to go on the
- 9:20elliptical. I'm going to go on the, the
- 9:22stairs. I, I, I, I, I don't like it, but
- 9:25you have to especially if you want to keep your A1C down,
- 9:28which I've been doing very, very good.
- 9:30And by the way, Coach Fish, you know all about that.
- 9:33And I've, I've taken some advice from people that have been
- 9:36through diabetes and I don't have diabetes, but I don't want
- 9:39diabetes because our executive producer has, he is diabetic and
- 9:44he goes through a lot of different things and trials and
- 9:47tribulations in his life. And I, I, I sincerely, you know,
- 9:51wish nothing but the best for him.
- 9:52It's, it's not easy. My father was diabetic.
- 9:55So I, I don't want to go through that.
- 9:57It's the worst of the worst diseases you can go through
- 10:01because there's no control of it.
- 10:02And even when you try to control it, you can't control it.
- 10:05And I'm sure Fish could tell you a bunch of stories.
- 10:08And I don't really want to get into it.
- 10:09It's his business. But yeah, so I, I, I don't want
- 10:12to be diabetic. So that's all I'm going to say
- 10:14about that. And that's what I'm.
- 10:15I'm doing treadmill work and I've lost 30 lbs.
- 10:18I've been drinking lots and lots of water, ladies and gentlemen,
- 10:23That's what I've been doing, drinking a lot of it.
- 10:25But it's not fun when you're so used to eating and and drinking
- 10:30all the different things you've been doing since you were a kid
- 10:32and now you can't even do it. So because you got to be
- 10:35careful. So it's time consuming, speedy,
- 10:38you know, all about time consuming or consumptions as we
- 10:41all know. Anyways, we have a great show
- 10:43lined up for you a little bit later at 8:45.
- 10:45We will be talking to the founder and former CEO of
- 10:50Steiner Sports. Yes, he's never been on the
- 10:52show. I know Jabba knows him.
- 10:55I've never interviewed him before.
- 10:56I've heard a lot about him and I'm interested to get him on the
- 10:59show. Brandon Steiner will be joining
- 11:01us. And now he's the CEO of
- 11:04Collectible Exchange and the Steiner Agency.
- 11:08So he will be joining us in just a little bit, not a little bit
- 11:11of time. So I would say about an hour
- 11:13from now. So Brandon Steiner will be
- 11:15joining us. We'll have a little fun with
- 11:16him. We'll we'll talk a lot about,
- 11:20you know, dealing with personal athletes.
- 11:25As we all know, Jabba I I mean seriously, you have to deal with
- 11:28a lot of crazy athletes. Every single what what he had to
- 11:32deal with over over the years and now he's still doing it and
- 11:35now he's doing it with all different people.
- 11:38So we'll get Brendan Steiner on the show a little bit later in
- 11:40the show. It'll be fun, but we have to get
- 11:43into the World Series because the World Series is the talk of
- 11:47sports right now. Or the talk, as they say.
- 11:50In Boston in Saturday night's Game 7, the Los Angeles Dodgers
- 11:55beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5 to 4 in 11 innings to become
- 12:00back-to-back World Series champions.
- 12:04The Blue Jays took a three nothing lead after Bichette hit
- 12:08a three run shot off of Otani in the third inning.
- 12:12After the Dodgers fought back with a couple of sacrifice flies
- 12:17to make it 4 to two months, he hit a solo shot in the 8th
- 12:21inning to cut the deficit to four to three, setting the stage
- 12:27for the unlikeliest of heroes. Rojas, the Dodgers 9 hitter and
- 12:33ace fielding second baseman, hit a solo home run to tie the game
- 12:38with one out in the ninth inning.
- 12:42Rojas then made the game saving defensive play, throwing a base
- 12:47runner out at home in the bottom of the inning and extras the
- 12:52Dodgers brought. They brought in Yamamoto less
- 12:56than 24 hours after winning game number six.
- 12:59He pitched almost 3 innings to get the win.
- 13:02After Smith hit the series winning home run in the top of
- 13:08the 11th, Yamamoto was named the World Series MVP.
- 13:12With three wins, a one point O2 ERA and 15 strikeouts in the
- 13:18series, the Dodgers have won three out of the last 6 World
- 13:24Series. Well I wrote a story after the
- 13:28World Series. I actually stopped.
- 13:31I sat at 7-11 after the World Series and wrote a long story
- 13:38about this unbelievable win. And if you're a Dodger fan,
- 13:44there's really nothing to say congratulations to the Dodgers.
- 13:48They bought another championship.
- 13:51And I know everybody's going to say, well, you're you're a hated
- 13:54Yankee fan. You hate the Dodgers.
- 13:56You don't want to see the Dodgers win.
- 13:58No, that's not it. That's not it, guys.
- 14:02The fact is, and I'll go back and forth with this, the Dodgers
- 14:07have been an organization that has built their team around
- 14:12deferred money. Now, every team could use the
- 14:16deferred money. I know that's what Jabba's going
- 14:18to say. I know that's what everybody
- 14:19will say. Every baseball team could use
- 14:23the deferred aspect of the game. Well, why haven't other teams
- 14:29done it? And if there have been teams
- 14:32that have done it, they haven't done it as much as the LA
- 14:37Dodgers half. And why now?
- 14:41We've seen Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts took the deferred
- 14:43money. Freddie Friedman took the
- 14:45deferred money. Yamamoto decided to come and
- 14:47play with Otani. Sasaki did the same.
- 14:51We look at this team. You brought Hernandez in, yet
- 14:54you sprinkle a little this guy and Rojas and you sprinkle a
- 14:57little this guy, Will Smith. And this team is a championship
- 15:02contending team. They're stacked from top to
- 15:07bottom. Their relief is one of the best
- 15:10in baseball, even though they weren't very good in the World
- 15:12Series and throughout the playoffs.
- 15:14But this rotation, what's now deferred money glass.
- 15:18Now I I would say some of it deferred, but most of it is paid
- 15:23upfront. This is a team that built their
- 15:28dynasty and winning around money and paying players to come here
- 15:36and honestly make a deal, spin the wheel and make the deal and
- 15:39say, you know what, come here, we'll give you $10 million.
- 15:41And 20 years from now or 12 years from now, we'll pay you
- 15:45the rest of the money. You're going to get endorsed,
- 15:47you're going to get rings, and we're going to become a dynasty
- 15:50of an organization, and you're going to have a chance to really
- 15:54be a part of something special. Now, everybody's going to look
- 15:57at this and they're going to say, didn't the Yankees do that
- 16:00in the 90s? And, and we've said this over
- 16:03and over and over again, the Yankees did not do this in the
- 16:0690s. And if we want to go back and we
- 16:09look at the 90's, the Yankees didn't win their first title to
- 16:13until 96. They brought up Derek Jeter in
- 16:1695. And Derek Jeter eventually
- 16:19became the captain of team later in his career.
- 16:21I I would probably 3-4 years after winning a couple of
- 16:25titles, but before that Derek Jeter was young and they had
- 16:29Bernie Williams on this roster. They made a trade.
- 16:32They brought in Paul O'Neill for Roberto Kelly and I remember
- 16:38Roberto Kelly, he was a top prospect for the New York
- 16:40Yankees. The Yankees then decided to
- 16:45bring up players like Mariano Rivera, which if anybody has not
- 16:50checked out the Expos documentary, the Yankees made a
- 16:53trade with the Expos to bring in Wickman.
- 16:57That was the trade that the Yankees made the big move to
- 17:00bring in a relief pitcher, John Wetland.
- 17:03He was traded to the Yankees from the Expos when the Expos
- 17:06were trying to tear apart that team before they decided to move
- 17:11them to. We all know where they went,
- 17:14Washington. But if you go back, John Wetland
- 17:18was the guy. He was the closer.
- 17:19Marion Rivera got called up. He was the 8th inning guy.
- 17:24Andy Pettit got called up in 9596.
- 17:28Then we we saw Jorge Posada, we saw the team being built around
- 17:35a core of players. You brought in Wade Box, you
- 17:38brought in Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez.
- 17:40The Yankees brought in, they brought in all these guys.
- 17:43Then eventually Scott Broaches and Charlie Hayes and we could
- 17:45go on and on and on with the roster.
- 17:48Most of those guys were not superstars.
- 17:51Paul O'Neill and Tino Martinez were great players.
- 17:54Paul O'Neill came from Cincinnati.
- 17:56He did win a title with Cincinnati, but Paul O'Neill was
- 17:59up and down before he was traded to the New York Yankees.
- 18:01It became the Warrior. Tino Martinez was a good player.
- 18:05He was a great first baseman with a lot of pop.
- 18:08Did he have the power that he had when he went to Yankee
- 18:11Stadium? No, he did not.
- 18:13It took him a little while and then he hit those fifty home
- 18:15runs. He had a he had a fifty home run
- 18:17season, hit a couple of 40 home run season or close to 40 home
- 18:21run seasons. He became a power hitter with
- 18:24the New York Yankees. Maybe because of the short porch
- 18:26and maybe because of the depth of the lineup that the Yankees
- 18:28built. The Yankees did not buy their
- 18:32championships. They didn't.
- 18:34And anybody that is going to argue that with me go back in
- 18:37time and look at the roster. When you look at this Dodger
- 18:42team, I I just go up and down it.
- 18:45This is not the same thing. When you're trying to compare
- 18:49the Yankees and the Dodgers, You're you're you can't compare
- 18:53both dynasties. The Yankees went on to win 3
- 18:57championships in the row, won four out of five championships,
- 19:02and everybody says, well, the Dodgers could do that.
- 19:04The Dodgers could win 3 next year, and they very much could.
- 19:07Blake Snell is still very young. Glass now is still young.
- 19:10Otani is still fairly young. He'll be 32 next year.
- 19:13Yamamoto is a young pitcher. Sasaki is what, 29 years old?
- 19:17This is a great rotation, the line up.
- 19:20Freddie Freeman's getting up in age.
- 19:21Mookie Betts is still young. Muncie is still middle age.
- 19:25You know, you look at this roster, this is still a capable
- 19:28roster. And who knows what they do in
- 19:30the offseason. Maybe they make a move for Bryce
- 19:32Harper. Maybe they make a move for one
- 19:36of these guys like Kyle Tucker and Kyle Tucker did say takes
- 19:39deferred money to go and play for the Dodgers.
- 19:43I don't know. But what I do know is baseball
- 19:47needs to figure this out. And I know everybody's going to
- 19:50say, oh, you're a sore loser. You're a poor man's Dodger fan.
- 19:55And I'm, I'm not, I'm not a poor man's Dodger fan.
- 19:58That's what somebody told me on social media says you're a
- 20:00Yankee fan, you're a poor man's Dodger fan.
- 20:02I said poor man, the Yankee won, the Yankees won 27 World Series
- 20:07and I've seen about 5 or 6 of them.
- 20:10OK, How am IA poor man's Yankee fan or Dodger fan?
- 20:15I'm not. I just know what I see.
- 20:18And what I've seen with the Dodgers and what the Dodgers
- 20:21have done, is it bettering baseball?
- 20:23Is it making baseball better? Is it challenging other teams to
- 20:27do the same thing that they have done over the last past three or
- 20:31four or five years? The answer would be no, because
- 20:34no team in baseball can do that or will do that.
- 20:39The Red Sox will never do that. The Red Sox are not it.
- 20:43Henry will never do that and the Yankees have already come out
- 20:48and said they're not going to do that.
- 20:50They don't do that. That's not what the organization
- 20:52does. And and again, it doesn't work.
- 20:55Baseball over the years, it's been around, deferred, money's
- 20:58been around forever and nobody's done it or they've done it in
- 21:02increments. But the Dodgers have taken it to
- 21:05a whole nother level. And now baseball after next year
- 21:10is going to go on strike. They're going to go on strike.
- 21:13They're going to have to figure things out.
- 21:15Are these owners going to sit there and allow this to continue
- 21:20happening as the Dodgers continue to smile and win rings,
- 21:25Especially if the Dodgers pull off another championship next
- 21:29year to make it three in a row? The answer would be no.
- 21:33And if you're a baseball fan and you're going to next season
- 21:36wondering, well, I'm a Mets fan. I'm I'm not a Mets fan, but I
- 21:39have met fan friends that say, oh, I'm a Mets fan, I'm a lousy
- 21:43Mets fan, or I'm a hated Mets fan, or I'm I hate being a Mets
- 21:46fan. The Mets built this team
- 21:52bringing in Soto and Lindor, and they thought they were going to
- 21:55bring in Vladimir Guerrero in the offseason.
- 21:57Well, they missed out on that, but they're building by spending
- 22:01money and they're never going to get over the hump because
- 22:03there's no way in hell the Mets are going to beat the Dodgers
- 22:07and what the Dodgers have put together over the last three
- 22:10seasons, there's no way in hell, Mets fans, not a chance they
- 22:13could bring in Pete Alonso, Kyle Tucker and Bryce Harper.
- 22:17They're not beating the Dodgers. If the Dodgers are even half
- 22:22healthy, as we've seen, they've got healthy at the end of the
- 22:26season, that to me is bothersome.
- 22:29And everybody's going to say, well, wait a second, the Blue
- 22:31Jays gave him a challenge, OK, The Blue Jays gave him a
- 22:35challenge. Do you think this Blue Jays team
- 22:38is going to be in the World Series next year?
- 22:40The answer would be no. This is going to be a completely
- 22:44different team. They're not bringing Buchette
- 22:46back. They're not paying him.
- 22:48They just paid Vladimir Guerrero a lot of money.
- 22:51So. And now they have other pictures
- 22:53that they might not be able to bring back.
- 22:55Shane Bieber might be a free agent.
- 22:57He might go elsewhere. There are other guys that are
- 23:00free agents at the end of the season and after what they did
- 23:04in the World Series and throughout the playoffs, they're
- 23:06going to make themselves a lot of money.
- 23:09The Dodgers, this is practically the same team.
- 23:12They're all under contract. Every single one of these guys
- 23:15are under contract next year, and who's to say they're not
- 23:18going to add another one or two players or another relief
- 23:21pitcher and give them deferred money?
- 23:23That's what bothers me about this.
- 23:25And as a Yankee fan, I don't think the Yankees are going to
- 23:28win because no matter what the Yankees are going to do, the
- 23:32Yankees already said they're not doing this deferred money thing.
- 23:35And a lot of the players that the Yankees are even thought to
- 23:38pay deferred money to, they've already said no to it.
- 23:42So Kyle Tucker might go to the Dodgers if it helps him win a
- 23:46championship or two or three championships and take deferred
- 23:49money because he's going to get endorsement sponsorships.
- 23:52Who knows what the Dodgers are going to offer to Kyle Tucker if
- 23:57they think that Kyle Tucker would be a good fit with them.
- 24:00That's what bothers me about this.
- 24:01Because now that 1234 players, big superstars have done it, now
- 24:08everybody's looking at it saying I could go play for the Dodgers
- 24:10right now. I can win multiple
- 24:12championships. The Dodgers could win 5
- 24:14championships in a row if I go to that team.
- 24:17And that's what bothers me about this.
- 24:19Not the fact that the Dodgers have figured out a way like Bill
- 24:22Belichick. He found ways to win.
- 24:25He found ways to trick the rulebook, to work in his favor,
- 24:30even though it was legal. A lot of coaches didn't think it
- 24:34was legal, but he found a way to make it work for the Patriots,
- 24:38make it work for him. And this is the same thing the
- 24:41Dodgers have figured out. Hey, this has been around for a
- 24:44long time. The Tampa Bay Rays did it for
- 24:46years with the shifting. Madden was the king of it.
- 24:49It was been shifting, has been around forever since the 50s and
- 24:53the 60s. Joe Madden decided, hey, you
- 24:56know what, I'm going to do it in a I'm going to completely build
- 25:00my defense and my team around, shifting around the ballpark.
- 25:04I'm going to look at analytics and I'm going to use the
- 25:06analytics to make sure that I could defend against every
- 25:10single player that comes to my ballpark or any other teams
- 25:12ballpark. And that's why the Rays were so
- 25:15successful over the years when Joe was there and they still
- 25:19using it now. Baseball has changed it.
- 25:22They've taken away shifting and in some kind of way, I mean, you
- 25:26can use it in different ways, but you really can't use it the
- 25:29way you used it. They used it and other teams
- 25:32have used it over the years through analytics.
- 25:35Baseball needs to figure out how to controlled control this
- 25:39deferred money situation. Because if they don't, the
- 25:43Dodgers are going to continue winning because players are
- 25:47going to want to go there. Players know they're going to
- 25:49make their money back and they're going to get paid and
- 25:52they can win titles and with titles brings superstardom and,
- 25:57and, and, and being compared to some of the greatest franchise
- 26:00of all time. Could you imagine the Dodgers
- 26:03win 5 championships in a row and be considered the New York
- 26:07Yankees? Of what?
- 26:07What was that? The 50s when they went, they won
- 26:10five in a row. I mean, come on, just think
- 26:13about it because of the difference in and thought of
- 26:16different decades and the way the decades were played because
- 26:20there was no trades and there was no free agency at the time.
- 26:24It's a different sport now, and now the the Dodgers can spin the
- 26:28wheel and make the deal. Yeah, We've always talked about
- 26:31like loopholes with these salary cap situations.
- 26:34Obviously we've seen we got mad at the NHL for with the Tampa
- 26:37Bay Lightning for doing that, for keeping their players on
- 26:39long term IR just for them to come back to the playoffs and
- 26:42then get them, get them healthy. In football, we've seen that
- 26:44kind of thing with converting signing bonuses into or
- 26:48converting base salary and assigning bonuses to get out of
- 26:50bad cap situations. But the difference with those
- 26:52two in this is the contracts are a lot bigger and they go for a
- 26:55longer period of time. In football, you can't sign a
- 26:57contract more than I believe 10 years.
- 26:59That was what Holmes, his contract he signed in 2020.
- 27:02In baseball, you could sign it even longer than that as we've
- 27:04seen with certain coaches or certain players that have gotten
- 27:071516 year deals. And the the counter is going to
- 27:11be for the big market teams like the Yankees and the Mets to try
- 27:13to counter that, to do exactly what the Dodgers are doing and
- 27:16try to make it work for a middle market team.
- 27:18It's going to be what Java you have brought up many times and I
- 27:21have brought up years ago with the Braves, like them paying
- 27:23their players early but finding a balance to make it work
- 27:26because we've deferred. Money's been around for a while,
- 27:29but it was only used as an escape.
- 27:31It wasn't used as a pre contract strategy.
- 27:34The Orioles used it with Chris Davis's contract.
- 27:36The Mets used with Bobby Benia's contract and not have to pay
- 27:39them then. And now you're seeing him do it
- 27:41as a strategy to try to balance it out.
- 27:43If you're a middle market team, I think the philosophy probably
- 27:46has to shift it. All right, let's pay one guy a
- 27:48lot of money up front like Toronto did with Vlad Junior,
- 27:51and then try to make it work with what you have on the roster
- 27:53after that. And maybe that's the counter to
- 27:55make it work. And for the low market teams,
- 27:57it's probably just get your owners to freaking spend.
- 27:59Otherwise you're not going to go anywhere at this point.
- 28:01Because in general, even before this Dodgers run, you generally
- 28:04had to have a top 12 payroll to win win a World Series title.
- 28:07The Rays have done very well the other teams.
- 28:10Kansas City didn't. OK.
- 28:12I'm just saying in general. Like I'm just saying Kansas City
- 28:15didn't and there are teams that have won without being a top 12
- 28:18spending team. So there there is a possibility.
- 28:22And but my problem here is, is that you're looking at this
- 28:27team, this Dodger team and nobody's taking shots at what
- 28:30the Dodgers have done, the success of the new the, the LA
- 28:34Dodgers. I'm just saying that is this
- 28:36good for baseball if you're a baseball fan, I know Jabba is an
- 28:40ex baseball player. He's a, a baseball enthusiast.
- 28:43I love baseball. I'm a Yankee fan.
- 28:46I follow baseball strategically every single year.
- 28:49There's a ton of baseball fans here in New York.
- 28:52Baseball has been America's pastime.
- 28:54So I, I'm bothered by it when I see the Dodgers pull off 2
- 28:59championships, 3 championships in six years.
- 29:01And there's nothing that tells me that this is not going to
- 29:05happen again next year. I expect the Dodgers to bring in
- 29:09another player, another superstar in the offseason and
- 29:11tell him, listen, you come here, you're going to win titles.
- 29:15All you got to do is take less money right now and we'll pay
- 29:18you later. 10 years from now, you'll be making all that money
- 29:22back. It might not be from me as the
- 29:24owner of the team. It might be from two other
- 29:26owners or another owner after I sell the team for $15 billion
- 29:31because the team's worth more because of all these
- 29:34championships. Josh in the comments section,
- 29:36anyone could do what Dodgers did it successfully, yes.
- 29:38And that's why I'm saying I think.
- 29:39They're I'm not saying that that's not the argument here.
- 29:42We all know everybody can do it, but nobody's going to do it as
- 29:46much and as good as the Dodgers have, because the Dodgers have
- 29:50set the what what would you say? You set the field?
- 29:54They set the field now and now with Freddie Freeman and Mookie
- 29:57bets, all MVPS at the time at the prime of their careers and
- 30:01now Otani doing it, everybody sees it.
- 30:04Wow. I get to go and play with Mookie
- 30:06Betts, Freddie Freeman and Shay Otani.
- 30:08Oh, by the way, a cornerstone pitcher now in Yamamoto.
- 30:13I mean, come on, who would want to play over there?
- 30:15Baseball needs to step in and do something about it.
- 30:18That's all I'm saying. And the players I think have to
- 30:21do those that kind of thing to the influence that Otani has
- 30:24from AI guess from a recruiting standpoint, we talk about in the
- 30:27NBA more because of the players run league, but Otani had the
- 30:30influence with the Japanese players to bring Yamamoto and
- 30:33Sasaki there. Is that kind of thing going to
- 30:35happened with somebody else? Is Juan Soto going to say, it's
- 30:37not going to be Vlad now, but he's Juan Soto going to say, all
- 30:39right, will you take deferred money?
- 30:40I'll pay you a little bit more on my 765 million to get
- 30:43somebody, the Mets or somebody with the Yankees, etcetera.
- 30:45Maybe there's a player angle of that too, because we've
- 30:47discussed many times there probably will be a lockout, but
- 30:49the players union in baseball is so strong they're not going to
- 30:52give in to a salary cap. No, I mean, you present really,
- 30:57really good questions, but it's just when you when you say what
- 31:01like what do the players do? The players want to win?
- 31:03So there's nothing that they're going to do to stop this in any
- 31:08way, shape or form. And and there's nothing there
- 31:10that they would do honestly, from the guys that I've talked
- 31:12to, current and former. And so I just think it's, there
- 31:19are obviously things you could you could talk about on the
- 31:22table, you know, as far as like the open forums that we have
- 31:25every time that we have, you know, meetings and and whatever.
- 31:29But I just, I don't think that there's anything realistically
- 31:34that are there ideas 100% of what you could do?
- 31:37Yeah, But I don't think that it would ever come to fruition of
- 31:41anything being able to put into motion that would change it from
- 31:45from doing it. And, and Speedy bring up a great
- 31:47point because it now it's kind of leverage now it's kind of
- 31:51like, hey, do this, we'll win. But you're still going to get
- 31:53paid, just maybe not now where as back in the day it was kind
- 31:57of to CYA, you know, to to cover your butt because it's like,
- 32:02hey, if it doesn't work and we can still get some guys and not,
- 32:05you know, still be able to compete and win.
- 32:07So it's kind of switched roles. If you really look at it as kind
- 32:11of what it was and and how it's been in the game a lot of years,
- 32:15just not at the forefront of what it is now.
- 32:17But I think it's it's obvious you bring up like the 90s, you
- 32:24know, Yankees teams, whatever. This this is exactly what we
- 32:27heard when we won an O 9 because the money we spent.
- 32:30And now you look at the Yankees, their payroll is is middle
- 32:33there. I mean, it's higher, higher
- 32:35echelon, but not I mean, it's not like one or two as it was
- 32:39back then when we spent all the money on the guys and then we we
- 32:42ended up winning. But baseball also too, the best
- 32:45team doesn't necessarily win all the time.
- 32:47Do I think the Dodgers were the best team in, you know, in that
- 32:51series? No.
- 32:53But the ball just fell their way every time that you could think
- 32:56about it. And it that's just the way
- 32:59baseball works. Sometimes I I just don't I don't
- 33:01think. Will they have a chance with
- 33:04what they've constructed? Yes.
- 33:07I mean, on paper, yeah, they should be there again.
- 33:10You know, it's always funny when when the season's over, how fast
- 33:13these power rankings come out and you're just like, what?
- 33:15I like how but and you also said will the Blue Jays, you know, be
- 33:20back next year? Probably not.
- 33:21But were the Blue Jays expected to be there this year?
- 33:23No, they weren't. So you just it it's it's kind of
- 33:27tough as a player and that played for a little bit, but as
- 33:34a fan of baseball for longer than I would ever play the game,
- 33:37no matter what, I don't hate it and I know some people will.
- 33:45And I think what also now like the more I take a step back and
- 33:49take like the baseball part of it away, other than the
- 33:53championships, whatever, the guys that are doing it are
- 33:56really, really likable guys. You know, Freddie Freeman's
- 34:00great, you know, you look at Kershaw, you look at and
- 34:02obviously Kersh didn't didn't take whatever, but you know, he
- 34:05stood by these guys and like you root like these aren't the AJ
- 34:09Pierzynski's and and I don't know AJ personally, but he's one
- 34:13of those dudes you hated on your that when you played against
- 34:16him, but you loved him on your team.
- 34:18And but all these guys you root for and and you see, you know,
- 34:21all the things that they've done and, and how you know they've
- 34:25came together and and you look at a guy that hadn't hit a
- 34:27Homer. You know, September was the last
- 34:30time Rojas hit a Homer and you don't expect him to hit Will
- 34:33Smith. It was Will Smith and you know
- 34:35he is that. So do I think it's good for
- 34:39baseball? Yes, I do.
- 34:43I really do. Because as you guys are both
- 34:46brought up in in in different ways now, as AI guess, non big
- 34:53market media, medium, whatever you want to call it.
- 34:56But now if you you have a guy in the I'll use schemes, an example
- 35:01where they don't want to spend money.
- 35:03Now you have a guy stepping up and maybe he's like, Hey, we've
- 35:05got to do so if we want to win and I want to stay here, then
- 35:08you got to spend money somehow, someway, because that's exactly
- 35:12what's happening. And we're not in.
- 35:14I, I would hate to be able to, to be on a team and collect a
- 35:17paycheck and know I can start my vacation, you know, October 1st.
- 35:21You know, that would suck. I don't, I don't play the game
- 35:23and I hope a lot of guys don't play the game for that reason
- 35:27other than just collect a paycheck.
- 35:28I don't think they do. There are some that do I, I know
- 35:31a few personally, but, and that stinks because they're just
- 35:34really good at baseball but don't care about the game.
- 35:36There's, there's plenty of, there's one collecting a
- 35:39paycheck right now that could care 2 craps about baseball.
- 35:42And I won't mention him, but his initials are AR and he plays
- 35:45infield third base. But you guys can get the point.
- 35:49So I I think it is because it forces the hand of the owners
- 35:52because really at the end of the day, every owner can do it.
- 35:55They're all do. It and they're making a million
- 35:58no matter what will they do it? Do people view it as it's bad
- 36:04for the game? And and I can see why I'm not
- 36:06disagreeing that that there aren't parts of it where it it
- 36:11does because now it's like it just sucks as parody in the
- 36:15game. And we've seen it where it's
- 36:18like, OK, you expect these things of like the teams that
- 36:26are supposed to be in it all the time.
- 36:28And so it's really one of those good in certain context and and
- 36:35bad in other contexts. I just, I don't know if there's
- 36:38a way to regulate it. I really wish there was kind of
- 36:41more like, I guess you. Got to limit how much you could
- 36:45spend a year for like a deferred money.
- 36:48If there was, and I guess the only, what is the way to say it
- 36:51Like not a cap, but like, hey, every team has this.
- 36:55It's kind of like the way you go above the luxury tax, right?
- 36:59This team, every team gets a certain percent of it did Now
- 37:03just because they they spend so much, do they get, you know, do
- 37:08they get to spend more or does this team that didn't spend or I
- 37:11don't know the the right way or do you brainstorm and just round
- 37:16table it up and and throw ideas and see what happens?
- 37:18Are you thinking like a budget of like 5 years of deferred
- 37:21money and you get to use it in increments type thing?
- 37:24Like like any structure as far as where you do it over time or
- 37:28you do it over like year to year.
- 37:29And if you don't use it, like is it like remember rollover
- 37:32minutes? Do you get to roll that over in
- 37:34the next year because you didn't use it?
- 37:35Or hey, if you don't use it, you lose it?
- 37:38So I, I, honestly, I, I don't know what would be better for
- 37:42the game. I like it because it forces the
- 37:44hand sometimes of the owners to try and do certain things.
- 37:48But I also like if you're a player and wants to win and you
- 37:50get a play with the Mookie bets and the Freddy's and the
- 37:53Yamamotos and the and Otanis, sign me up.
- 37:56If I'm if I'm making $4 million less, but I'm still going to
- 37:58make it on the back end and I want to win and and have a
- 38:01really good clubhouse, then heck yeah, why would I not?
- 38:04Well, that's not that's not the argument here.
- 38:06The argument here is that I believe that this is not
- 38:09beneficial for baseball. If, if baseball and some of
- 38:12these teams want to compete with the Dodgers for the future,
- 38:15baseball needs to figure out how to control it.
- 38:18If they don't figure out how to control it, you're going to have
- 38:21the next Japanese player wanting to go and play with Otani and
- 38:25Yamamoto and Sasaki. How is that beneficial for other
- 38:29teams to compete with the Dodgers?
- 38:32How about the National League when you're going into a season
- 38:34knowing that you don't have a chance against the Dodgers?
- 38:38And by the way, for all you Ohtani fans that thought Ohtani
- 38:43was the greatest baseball player of all time, well, let's look at
- 38:47the two pitching opportunities he had in this series.
- 38:50They weren't good. He pitched in game #7 in the
- 38:54first 3 innings. Do you want to look at his
- 38:56numbers, guys? I, I, I.
- 38:59The fact here is I'm not saying Otani isn't special.
- 39:02He's special. He's unique as they call him the
- 39:05Unicorn, as we've heard a rod say it, Derek Jeter say it, and
- 39:11everybody else say it. That's great.
- 39:13He pitched 2.1 innings, five hits, three runs and three
- 39:18innings. His and his ERA was a 7.56 in
- 39:23those in in that game and even in in the game before that he
- 39:28didn't pitch very well. Now he hits and he's hit well in
- 39:32this series and he's hit well pretty much throughout the
- 39:35playoffs. Even though he was I think
- 39:37throughout the playoffs he was 245 hitter or something of that
- 39:40magnitude. I don't have the numbers in
- 39:42front of me, but if they weren't he wasn't hitting 300 throughout
- 39:45the playoffs. The fact here is you have to
- 39:49understand something when you're comparing the greatest baseball
- 39:52players of all time. You got to show up in the big
- 39:55games and you got to do it in every kind of way.
- 39:58That's why. That's why guys like Alex
- 40:00Rodriguez was attacked all those years until he showed up in 2009
- 40:05and put the Yankees on his shoulders.
- 40:08It doesn't work if you don't do it in the big games.
- 40:10Nobody cares what you do in the regular season.
- 40:13No, but. You can't say you can't say
- 40:14Judge is one of the best in because he's.
- 40:16No, he's not. No, I didn't say his.
- 40:18One no, I'm just I'm agreeing with.
- 40:21Him. I'm not saying Aaron Judge and
- 40:23Otani have not proven themselves to be great in the playoffs.
- 40:26Aaron Judge finally, in this playoff run, he had fought.
- 40:29He was batting 500. But we don't know what we don't
- 40:32know. But how does that not go in?
- 40:33You look at a dude like and he'll be gone with the Giants
- 40:36when he went off. And if you look at his career
- 40:38playoff numbers, they're pretty stupid, but you're going to
- 40:41consider him in the biggest stages to be one of the best.
- 40:43Carlos Beltran, Albert Pools was a great player.
- 40:46Albert Pools, I mean, but they showed up, yeah, but they showed
- 40:50up in the playoffs. And if you just.
- 40:53Said in the biggest games, they're the.
- 40:54Biggest games, yeah, I'm giving you great.
- 40:56I'm giving you great players that were great in the regular
- 40:59season and showed up in the playoffs.
- 41:03Miguel Cabrera was also great player.
- 41:05You play with Miguel Mickey, you, you know how great he was
- 41:09great. One of the greatest hitters, one
- 41:10of the greatest right handeders of all time.
- 41:13When it came down to when it came down to the playoffs, was
- 41:17he not showing up in the playoffs?
- 41:18He was one of the best hitters in the playoffs.
- 41:20You couldn't pitch around the guy.
- 41:22He hit everything. You have to show up in the big
- 41:26stages and I don't care what Ohtani has done in his career in
- 41:30the regular season. Until he does that and until
- 41:33he's unstoppable in the playoffs, I'm not putting him
- 41:37with Babe Ruth. I'm not putting them with the
- 41:39greatest. Everybody stoppable in the
- 41:40playoffs, dudes. I mean the greatest.
- 41:43They still fail 70% of the time. I'm just saying, I'm telling you
- 41:47right now to me, I look at Otani.
- 41:49He's not an everyday player. He's a pitcher every fifth day
- 41:53and he's a DH. OK, so David Ortiz isn't isn't a
- 41:57great player since he's no not an everyday player.
- 41:59Because first, first of all, first of all.
- 42:01But you just said he just DH. I didn't say Otani wasn't a
- 42:04great player. I'm not saying Otani is not a
- 42:07great player. I'm not putting.
- 42:09I'm not. I'm not putting Otani as A to me
- 42:13when I look at a player you and I'm looking at comparison to the
- 42:16great players in the league, Aaron Judge being one of them or
- 42:19even Cal rally. If you're going to ask me right
- 42:22now, who am I building my team around?
- 42:24I'm building around one of those guys.
- 42:26I'm not building around Shayo Otani because he only pitches
- 42:29every fifth day. I don't care what he does.
- 42:31I don't care what he does when he's ADH hitter and how many
- 42:34bases he steals. To me, if if we see Otani play
- 42:38on a bad team with the Angels, we've also seen Mike Trout play
- 42:41on a bad team. This guy was the best player in
- 42:43baseball. For how many years did they win?
- 42:46Did they win? No, they didn't win.
- 42:47Otani had to go to the Dodgers with the deferred money, with
- 42:50Friedman and Mookie Betts and all those superstars to win.
- 42:54OK. And that's all I'm saying He had
- 42:56to buy. What's wrong with that?
- 42:58But my child hasn't won diddly score.
- 43:00That's funny. You want him to stay with the
- 43:01angels. I'm telling you, he bought his
- 43:03championships. That's what I'm saying.
- 43:05And I don't care what you say, fish.
- 43:06That's what I look at. You bought your championship and
- 43:09he was comparison comparatus to Ted Williams and Babe Ruth or
- 43:14Mickey Mantle, guys that were pretty much on those teams
- 43:17besides Babe Ruth being sold to the Yankees, Mickey Mantle, Yogi
- 43:22Barrel, all those guys. They were.
- 43:24I don't really think that's fair.
- 43:26OK. I don't want to hear your take
- 43:28to it. Just give me your take and get
- 43:30off. I don't want to hear.
- 43:31Just said you don't want to hear.
- 43:32My, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear what you're
- 43:33going to say about Otani. I won't say.
- 43:35I don't want to hear what you have to say about Otani.
- 43:37I really don't. I've heard enough about it.
- 43:39I've heard enough with you, with the oh Donny thing.
- 43:42That's it. Let's hear what you got to say
- 43:43about the World Series. That's it.
- 43:46The whole point is they don't need Otani to be Babe Ruth.
- 43:49He's one of five guys they could throw at you in the World
- 43:53Series. You realize that he's their 4th
- 43:55best pitcher then in the World Series for them.
- 43:58That's pretty ridiculous considering Yamamoto played like
- 44:02no one's really ever played in the World Series with three
- 44:05wins, 1 ERA. It's like Randy Johnson type
- 44:08stuff that we're sit, we saw out of him.
- 44:11And then you have Snell, who was great, Glasno who was great.
- 44:16I'm sure I'm forgetting somebody.
- 44:17I know I'm forgetting one of them, but they just kept
- 44:19throwing guys at you and Otani's just one of those guys as a
- 44:23pitcher. And he wasn't bad necessarily,
- 44:25he just wasn't great. Gave up that three run home run
- 44:27to Bichette and he got the two inherited runs after the two
- 44:31his. Era in the World Series was 6.
- 44:33It's not good. But I'm telling you how he got
- 44:35all the runs. Save up five runs and two
- 44:37inherited runs. 6 That's what I'm gonna say 6.
- 44:40All right, well. Greatest player of all time
- 44:42would not be pitching a. 6th of the.
- 44:44Game in a World Series. No one's saying that.
- 44:46No one cares. You kept.
- 44:47You kept saying you don't want to hear me talk about Otani, yet
- 44:49you keep making it about Otani. You brought up Otani.
- 44:51You just brought up Otani. Well, he's on the team that
- 44:55we're talking about, dummy. Spit it out.
- 44:56Don't call me a dummy, man. Don't call me well.
- 44:58Then stop telling me. Call me a dummy, dude.
- 45:00Don't call me a dummy. Don't call me a dummy.
- 45:02Oh, sorry. Don't call me a dummy, buddy.
- 45:05Don't call me a dummy. I can, I can attack what you're
- 45:08doing. I can eat you up alive right now
- 45:10and just attack everything that you're saying.
- 45:12Stop Nobody. Cares about that arrow, dummy.
- 45:15I'm trying to talk about this thing and you just don't want to
- 45:18let me. You want to talk about Otani and
- 45:19how you have to be right about Otani and nobody cares about
- 45:22Otani like that. I'm just telling you that he's
- 45:25makes that team better. Like I tried to tell you last
- 45:27time and that's all. That's all it is and it's really
- 45:31important to understand that why they lost had nothing to do with
- 45:34that. I don't.
- 45:34I think it's the clutchness of this team with the manager.
- 45:38I mean, they brought in Andy Pajez to get that.
- 45:40It makes that crazy catch immediately after they bring him
- 45:42in for Edmond, that helped save the day.
- 45:45That's a great managerial move. They won the game in 18 innings.
- 45:49That's a devastating loss. Then the game, I mean, game six,
- 45:52we haven't even talked about game six.
- 45:54Man, Game 6 was crazy. That ball gets sort of stuck
- 45:58under the wall in in left center that that that's not really
- 46:02stuck. Like if he went there he could
- 46:04have grabbed it very easily it. Wasn't like that.
- 46:06Did you see fish to Kiki, being the salty veteran that he is, he
- 46:12wasn't going to throw his hands up.
- 46:13He looked at Kiki when he was running over and Kiki was
- 46:16looking in the infield throwing his hands up before he got to
- 46:20Buck because he knew that was probably their only chance to
- 46:22limit what was going on right there.
- 46:24A younger guy doesn't do that. You know, it's such an important
- 46:28thing to mention about that. And then the doubling off of
- 46:31Barger on like the very next play, which is unbelievable.
- 46:36Where the hell was he going? I see now that's the one I
- 46:39wanted to ask you, Jabba, in that situation, I you would
- 46:43think that he's got to stay close to the bag at at all costs
- 46:46on anything in the air. I would have thought, well, he's
- 46:49not. First of all, he's not going
- 46:51anywhere because he has a runner in front of him, right.
- 46:55And you take his credit to, I mean, he owned it.
- 46:57He was like, yeah, that was on me.
- 46:59I got off too far Like, but realistically, if the ball gets
- 47:03past him, he's fast, he's going to score anyways.
- 47:07But then he's in. You see you check the outfield
- 47:11on second base, you turn around and check them right.
- 47:13So you see that he's he's edging in and he has an OK arm.
- 47:18Not great. But what where was he?
- 47:22That one, that ending like that, that's the craziest and it's
- 47:26first of all, it's the craziest ending ever in the World Series
- 47:28history. 3 pitches, first ever save at any level, only person,
- 47:36the four pitches was the save in the World Series.
- 47:39But to come in and do that, you're like this game is about
- 47:41to be. It should, should it have been
- 47:43tied? I don't know the rule that
- 47:45everybody kind of, I guess interpreted the rule kind of
- 47:49their own way. But the way it says, it's
- 47:52basically a judgement called by the umpire.
- 47:54And it might be different on the parks too.
- 47:56It's probably. Yeah, well, you go over ground
- 47:59rules before every so you like the umpires and whatever.
- 48:03Like you go over rules like, hey, this part here, you know,
- 48:06raise your hands, this that another thing.
- 48:07So you kind of have an idea, but it like it's just amazing, like
- 48:13how all these little things happened all in the Dodgers
- 48:16favorite and you really honestly need that sometimes.
- 48:19Do I think it's got? To be like something with like
- 48:22the juju of the team, the coaching, the direction, you
- 48:26know of the franchise, it just it's too much numbers.
- 48:29Ronaldo remember? My guess, the numbers too said
- 48:32the same thing. If they went into Game 7, the
- 48:34road teams won the last six of seven, so now seven of eight.
- 48:36That's the case in a lot of sports too.
- 48:38I don't think it's the NBA, but the NHL and MLB are both Rd.
- 48:40Favors. Yeah, on the end of Game 7,
- 48:43which is, which is nuts. You wouldn't think it would be
- 48:45right. Especially, you would think,
- 48:47pressure cities, yeah, especially bigger cities.
- 48:51Yeah, do you? Think so too.
- 48:52Go ahead, Java. No, I, I looked at it too, like
- 48:56everybody's like, oh, they wanted the Dodgers to win, blah,
- 48:58blah, blah. And if, if you're looking at
- 49:00from the business side, it was the most watched games in the
- 49:03World Series since 2017 with over 25,000,000, right.
- 49:06So do you think to there was an aspect of Major League Baseball
- 49:12is like, yeah, maybe it's not as big, but now we have two
- 49:16different countries. Like you may not like either
- 49:19team, right? But it's literally like, hey,
- 49:23but we have two countries going against each other and it showed
- 49:26in viewership, right? Because now you have all the
- 49:30Canadians who you know what, and Rodgers Center is awesome to
- 49:33play in whether they know anything about baseball or not.
- 49:36I mean, since they've been good and have guys that they can root
- 49:38for, they've obviously showed out a little bit better.
- 49:40But baseball got what they wanted, even if it wasn't the
- 49:44teams that they wanted, because they got the global part in not
- 49:47only in the Japanese, but you got a whole another country in
- 49:50Canada and obviously a major market in LA.
- 49:53So if you're looking at it from a business sense, and it was a
- 49:57great world, you got everything that you could ever imagine in a
- 50:00World Series. You know, it actually that that
- 50:03brings up something I've been meaning to ask Errol and I
- 50:05haven't gotten a chance to talk to him today, but I was.
- 50:07So we're going to do it on the air.
- 50:08Errol, do you think the ratings can be given some credit to Rob
- 50:13Manfred and Theo Epstein for their changes to the game and
- 50:18getting more people involved in like in the game, despite the
- 50:21fact we don't like all of them that.
- 50:23First of all. Joe, you can ask me anything you
- 50:27want about Theo Epstein and Rob Manfred.
- 50:29I think Theo Epstein is a genius.
- 50:31Rob Manford is to me a complete moron.
- 50:34I, I've never liked Rob Manford. I, I'm not a a fan of his as, as
- 50:40far as what I've seen him do over the last couple of years,
- 50:43changing the game and, and as Alex Rodriguez says, making the
- 50:46game better. Alex does a lot of kissing And,
- 50:49and I'm, I'm that's fine. He works for the, the MLB, he
- 50:52works for Fox and he's around these guys.
- 50:54So you want to kiss somebody's ass, you kiss it.
- 50:57I'm not going to kiss the brass ring.
- 50:59I'm going to say that Rob Manford, he, he has the position
- 51:03right now as the Commission. We'll see what happens when it
- 51:05comes to the future and where he is going to be in the in the
- 51:09very near future. He says he's going to retire in
- 51:122026 or 28, whatever he said, hopefully soon.
- 51:17Is it beneficial for baseball to keep him in, in that position?
- 51:21I don't know. I, I, I don't know what Rob
- 51:23Manford should, why anybody would give Rob Manford credit?
- 51:27How about just giving the superstars credit?
- 51:29How about Vladimir Guerrero? He's a superstar.
- 51:32How about Ohtani, as you say, as you guys say, the greatest
- 51:36player of all time And, and, and again everybody keeps talking
- 51:39about. Well, yes, I've never said he's
- 51:41the greatest player of all time. I don't put words in I I didn't
- 51:44put words in your mouth. I'm.
- 51:45Saying, yeah, you did. You just said.
- 51:46Everybody. No, I said what?
- 51:48You guys, everybody buddy you. No, you're not.
- 51:51You're yourself. I say.
- 51:53You guys, everybody. Everybody.
- 51:55No, that's not what I said. That everybody, buddy.
- 51:57I said no, I I. First of all, you meant like a
- 52:00general public. I'm talking about the general.
- 52:02Public, I know, Speedy. I what I'm trying to say here
- 52:05is, is that I I'm not saying Shay Otani isn't special.
- 52:09I'm not saying Shay Otani doesn't deserve credit.
- 52:12I I'm not saying that Rob Manford isn't the person that
- 52:17could take this league to the next level.
- 52:20I just see what I see and I think that he's ruined the game
- 52:23in my eyes. I don't think he's benefit.
- 52:25He the league hasn't benefited off of anything but the fact
- 52:29that you have an international player as big as Shay Otani and
- 52:32no matter what he does, good or bad, he's he's looked at as the
- 52:37the the face of the league no matter what he does.
- 52:40And here's another thing everybody keeps talking about
- 52:43how much baseball loved the World Series, how it drew
- 52:47Japanese players and Canadian players and American fans all
- 52:51around the world to watch it. Here's something that you guys
- 52:54don't understand. Has anybody go?
- 52:56I know Jabba, you've been has anybody gone to Canada?
- 53:00I have, I go every single year. And if you go around Canada and
- 53:06you go check out the malls and around the streets and you go to
- 53:09the baseball, I mean the Hockey Hall of Fame and you, you go out
- 53:12to the bars. What do you see out there?
- 53:15You see a lot of Asian, Asian population.
- 53:19It's an Asian populated place and Indian and they love their
- 53:24baseball over there. Believe it or not.
- 53:27Baseball is right there with not as big as hockey but it's right
- 53:32under. Everybody thinks basketball
- 53:34after the Raptors won a championship.
- 53:35No, the Blue Jays are the second biggest team in Toronto.
- 53:42They are. It's not the Raptors, it's the
- 53:45Blue Jays. It's also where you go in Canada
- 53:48though. Yes, and, and, and that's why I
- 53:50think the Expo what? Province.
- 53:52What province you go to? Yeah, but I I've always said
- 53:55this and you say it too. The Expo should be brought back
- 53:58to. 100%. I want them brought back just
- 54:00because uniforms are dope. I don't know about that.
- 54:04I, I mean, I, I guess that's what you would like.
- 54:06I mean, I, I mean, I want to see Pedro Martinez, you know, go
- 54:10back to go back to Montreal and, and be, you know, the face of
- 54:15the organization of Vladimir, Vladimir Guerrero senior or one
- 54:20of those guys to go back there and be a part of that
- 54:22organization and be a voice for that organization.
- 54:24So I that's what I want to say. I think, I think it, it, it has
- 54:29legs from what I've heard to, to sneak in to be one of those
- 54:31three that because we've we've talked about it before, but
- 54:34they've got the infrastructure, they've had it before and you
- 54:37have legacy names that were Expos that are still involved in
- 54:42the game in some way, shape or form.
- 54:44So it's not like it would be hard to do.
- 54:47I would, I would love for them to go back for sure.
- 54:50I think and I think it would be great for the game.
- 54:53All right, in the highest scoring game of the NFL season
- 54:57so far, the Bears beat the Bengals 47 to 42 in the loss. 40
- 55:04year old virgin. I'm just kidding.
- 55:06I don't know if he's a virgin. Joe Flacco threw for a career
- 55:10high 470 yards and four touchdowns.
- 55:13Higgins also had a good game with 121 yards and two
- 55:18touchdowns for the Bears. Williams had 280 passing yards
- 55:23and three touchdowns and also caught and receiving touchdown
- 55:28on a pass from DJ Moore on 1/4 and goal.
- 55:32Moore had four catches for 72 receiving yards and and a
- 55:38touchdown in addition to his touchdown pass.
- 55:41The biggest game came. I mean the biggest game came
- 55:46from their tight end Loveland. Finally the first round Michigan
- 55:51rookie had 6 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns,
- 55:54including the game-winning 58 yard touchdown.
- 55:58There was no defense to be found in the game as there were over
- 56:031000 total yards and 56 first downs as offenses marched down
- 56:10the field at will. A key on sidekick recovery put
- 56:15the Bengals in position to win, but the league's worth worst
- 56:19Bengals defense could not hold the late lead.
- 56:24The Bengals fall to a three and six record while the Bears jump
- 56:28to A5 and three record, tying the Lions for 2nd place.
- 56:32Just behind the Packers and just a game ahead of the Vikings in a
- 56:38loaded NFC North. The Bears are for real.
- 56:42I have spoke very highly of Caleb Williams.
- 56:45I love Caleb Williams. I, I compared his ability to
- 56:50Aaron Rodgers. Anybody that's heard my take on
- 56:53Caleb Williams and I'm not talking about the crying of what
- 56:56he did at USC. And I, I don't care what he did,
- 56:59crying to his parents and his mom, whoever was out there, you
- 57:03know him cry to. What I do know about Caleb
- 57:07Williams is he has the ability to get out of trouble outside of
- 57:11the pocket. He knows how to throw on the
- 57:13run. He's got one of the best arms in
- 57:15football. I don't think anybody can argue
- 57:17that. Now, everybody's going to look
- 57:19at and compare Caleb Williams to the best players in the league,
- 57:22the Lamar Jackson's, the Patrick Mahomes, the Josh Allen's.
- 57:26I'm not comparing Caleb Williams yet to those guys, but what I
- 57:31could say about Caleb Williams that I don't know if anybody
- 57:34understands the quarterback position and what I study on his
- 57:38footwork to be one of the best footwork quarterbacks I have
- 57:43seen since Aaron Rodgers. Everybody talks about, well,
- 57:48what? Why is Aaron Rodgers so special?
- 57:50What made Aaron Rodgers so special with the Green Bay
- 57:52backers? It was his understanding how to
- 57:55step into the pocket or move outside of the pocket, make the
- 57:58throws, run outside of the pocket and do the things that
- 58:02Aaron Rodgers did so very well. With a bad offensive line or
- 58:06even decent offensive line, or with no running games.
- 58:09Aaron Rodgers made players around him better.
- 58:13Now Caleb Williams has DJ Moore he's got and Doomsday, he's got
- 58:20all these guys that can catch the ball and Loveland looks like
- 58:23he's going to be a good player. We'll see.
- 58:25I don't know if he was the best tight end in that draft class,
- 58:28but they obviously thought he was.
- 58:30But the fact was, I saw a different Bears team on Sunday.
- 58:38I saw a team that obviously believes in the culture that Ben
- 58:42Johnson is bringing to this organization.
- 58:45I also look at Ben Johnson as a guy that was an offensive genius
- 58:49coming from the Lions that really love to run the ball and
- 58:54has changed his style of game to more air oriented type of game.
- 59:00And you could see it when the way they play now, Caleb
- 59:03Williams might be a different quarterback than the quarterback
- 59:07that he used to coach. And, and I'm saying, well, he
- 59:11has a different quarterback. When you look at Jared Goff, he
- 59:13he's he's a pocket present quarterback.
- 59:15Caleb Williams is a guy that can get outside of the pocket and
- 59:17run the ball. So you could see the difference
- 59:20in in styles and what you can do with Caleb Williams now, is he
- 59:23Lamar Jackson? No.
- 59:25Does he have the foot? Does he have the the speed of
- 59:28Lamar Jackson? No, But he's got the footwork.
- 59:31I believe that you can compare to the Aaron Rodgers of the
- 59:35world, the Troy Aikman's of the world.
- 59:38When we go back in time and we look at quarterbacks and guys
- 59:42that we say, wow, what made these guys so special?
- 59:45Troy Aikman, and I don't know if anybody remembers the Cowboys of
- 59:49the 90s. Troy Aikman had a good arm.
- 59:51But what made Troy Aikman so special is how he could step
- 59:55three steps back, make the throw 4 steps back, five steps back,
- 59:59seven steps back. And he understood the pocket,
- 1:00:02the presence of the collapsing pocket and stepping into the
- 1:00:06pocket and making those plays. Now, I'm not saying Caleb
- 1:00:08Williams is Troy Aikman. What I'm saying is you look at
- 1:00:13the comparison of ability that this kid has.
- 1:00:17I don't think we've seen a player this good at the position
- 1:00:21if he figures things out. And he becomes a better version.
- 1:00:26Aaron Rodgers. This guy could be the best
- 1:00:29quarterback in the league in two years.
- 1:00:32And Ben Johnson might be the guy to scope that out and figure
- 1:00:37that out to make this kid that special.
- 1:00:40And that's what's amazing about this.
- 1:00:42And that's why I thought Justin Fields got the bad stick because
- 1:00:47he had a guy like Eber Flus and then one year with Eber Flus,
- 1:00:51you saw even with Eber Flus, you saw a quarterback that put up
- 1:00:56Jaden Daniel numbers last year. The only reason why it didn't
- 1:00:59really stick out is because they didn't make the playoffs and
- 1:01:02they weren't any good. So you look at Caleb Williams
- 1:01:06now, they're a borderline playoff team.
- 1:01:08They can win the division, they can outlast the Lions, maybe
- 1:01:12jump ahead of the Packers. And this is a team that believes
- 1:01:17in their coach. Amber Flues didn't have the team
- 1:01:21behind him. Ben Johnson.
- 1:01:22You see him hopping on the sidelines, dancing and prancing
- 1:01:25with the players flexing on the sidelines the other day.
- 1:01:29I mean, when you see that kind of enthusiasm, you see that that
- 1:01:33personality, you want to play for a coach.
- 1:01:35Anybody that knows anything about sports, you when you see a
- 1:01:39coach that dies with the players that lives and dies with the
- 1:01:44wrath of those players and has that kid inside of him like you
- 1:01:50see Ben Johnson have. I I think you you start to fall
- 1:01:54in love with the guy. And, and I'm going to tell you
- 1:01:56this right now for all you Jet fans that think that Aaron Glenn
- 1:02:01isn't the real deal and he's not the guy.
- 1:02:04I have heard numerous times from Dan Campbell saying that Aaron
- 1:02:08Glenn and he, and I'm going to say this in a very fairway
- 1:02:12because I don't want to put down Ben Johnson and his success.
- 1:02:16He said after both guys got a job that both of them are going
- 1:02:21to be stars, but Aaron Glenn could be special.
- 1:02:24And when you heard that from Dan Campbell and you understand Dan
- 1:02:29Campbell knows these two guys personally because they were a
- 1:02:33part of his coaching staff for a very, very long time.
- 1:02:36Why are Jet fans throwing away a superstar type of coach?
- 1:02:41Why is everybody giving up on a coach in one season, in 1/2 a
- 1:02:44season when he doesn't have the right quarterback?
- 1:02:48This guy, Ben Johnson, was handed the number one pick in
- 1:02:52the first round two years ago. He was handed a guy that
- 1:02:56everybody, including yours truly, has the ability to be so
- 1:03:01special. That could be compared to Aaron
- 1:03:04Rodgers. Aaron freaking Rodgers, who I
- 1:03:08think in a 10 year span is the greatest quarterback I've ever
- 1:03:10seen. Yeah, and there's also a lot of
- 1:03:13accuracy metrics that really benefit Caleb Williams right
- 1:03:15now. I mentioned a couple weeks ago
- 1:03:17when we were talking about the Bears, there was 1 interception
- 1:03:20he threw in the last 15 games or so.
- 1:03:22That's Aaron Rodgers esque. Some of the advanced metrics
- 1:03:24Caleb Williams had even last season are Aaron Rodgers esque.
- 1:03:28And this is the part of his game.
- 1:03:29You mentioned the footwork arrow.
- 1:03:30This is the part of the game that's Josh Allen esque.
- 1:03:32Josh Allen and Caleb Williams are the only two quarterbacks
- 1:03:35I've seen be able to roll out top, kind of backtrack, plant
- 1:03:38his feet and throw as intermediate passes as they do
- 1:03:41it's. Crazy.
- 1:03:42Hold up. We can't compare him to Josh.
- 1:03:44Allen, I'm not. I'm not Ryan.
- 1:03:45I'm not going to jump the gun. Yet we got to give him a year,
- 1:03:49we got to see this in a full year in his accomplishments as a
- 1:03:52star quarterback. If he does this multiple years.
- 1:03:56And I'm, I'm not saying Jaden Daniels isn't special, but Jaden
- 1:03:59Daniels doesn't have the athletically gifted things that
- 1:04:04now, now Jim Daniels is athletically gifted, but the
- 1:04:07gifts that this guy has that and I, and you're going to be
- 1:04:11compared with one another for the rest of their lives because
- 1:04:14one went one and the other went two.
- 1:04:17But Caleb Williams has something that Jaden Daniels doesn't have.
- 1:04:22And I don't think I, I can't explain it, but you can see it
- 1:04:26on a football fit. Maybe it's confidence, but Jaden
- 1:04:29Daniels has confidence. I don't know what it is, but
- 1:04:32it's like Flair, OK? It's like, remember Ric Flair?
- 1:04:36Everybody likes wrestling, right?
- 1:04:37Woo, you know, Ric Flair would go out there and he would do woo
- 1:04:41and dance and do that, like dancing around in the ring.
- 1:04:44He was so confident. And then you have guys like The
- 1:04:47Ultimate Warrior, OK? He would come running around the
- 1:04:51ring shaking the turnbuckle, jump in the ring and just use
- 1:04:54power. And power doesn't always flare
- 1:04:58the fan. It doesn't bring the fan to fall
- 1:05:01in love with the the Super superstar wrestler.
- 1:05:03Okay, I think Caleb has something which what I would
- 1:05:08call to to be Rick Flair, that flair to it that I think that
- 1:05:13just makes him different from I think Jaden Daniels or any of
- 1:05:17these young quarterbacks that we have been speaking about that
- 1:05:20have come into the league. CJ Stroud.
- 1:05:22I I don't know if these guys have what Caleb Williams could
- 1:05:27bring to that table. He's Aaron Rodgers has because
- 1:05:31he doesn't know how to speak to the the media.
- 1:05:33He's not very good at it. And when he speaks to the media,
- 1:05:36he talks like he is. You know, he's the guy.
- 1:05:39He's like, he's the reason why the Bears are winning and doing
- 1:05:43it. And as well as she should think
- 1:05:45think that way. But there are other players on
- 1:05:47that roster. There are other players on that
- 1:05:49team that's a pretty good defense now.
- 1:05:51I mean, that team is playing pretty good football right now.
- 1:05:53It's not just him, but Aaron Rodgers made it seem.
- 1:05:57And I think that's why a lot of players didn't like him over
- 1:05:59there in Green Bay. We have players that liked him
- 1:06:01on the show and then we've interviewed people that didn't
- 1:06:04like Aaron Rodgers. So to me, when you look at the
- 1:06:09facts of both guys and and they're very comparable, speedy,
- 1:06:13very comparable. Yeah, I was going to mention,
- 1:06:14too. Like, I think the way that Caleb
- 1:06:16Williams has elevated these newer targets is something you
- 1:06:18saw a lot with Aaron Rodgers we talk about all the time.
- 1:06:20Like the Packers didn't draft first round wide receivers.
- 1:06:22They had a revolving door of tight ends over the years,
- 1:06:25revolving door running backs. And this bearish team has a
- 1:06:27whole new philosophy with that kind of thing, probably outside
- 1:06:29of DJ Moore, because Comet was the tight end for a while and he
- 1:06:33got hurt. So Loveland had to step up and
- 1:06:35now you're seeing why Loveland was a first round pick, a mid
- 1:06:37first round pick on most boards. They had two running backs that
- 1:06:39were hurt in this game. Kyle Manungai, a rookie, stepped
- 1:06:42up and had over 150 yards rushing.
- 1:06:44There was another kid, another like 6 round rookie that had a
- 1:06:46touchdown. So they're he's buying into all
- 1:06:49that kind of philosophy when he had this quote UN quote label of
- 1:06:52being a egomaniac, a bad teammate when he first came into
- 1:06:55the league. Because that was the lazy
- 1:06:57analysis that all these these people, these Caleb Williams
- 1:07:00haters, allegedly, as you want to say, wanted to put them on
- 1:07:03there because he was a generational talent.
- 1:07:05And Caleb Williams is showing that he does not have that kind
- 1:07:08of label anymore. And he definitely has those kind
- 1:07:10of traits. As far as the Bears making the
- 1:07:11playoffs, you're right, Errol, it will depend on the defense.
- 1:07:13The defense is really banged up right now.
- 1:07:15That secondary has three corners that are heard some linebackers
- 1:07:18that have been up and down with injury.
- 1:07:19So if they can get any level of defense, it's a good defense on
- 1:07:22paper. They could definitely be a
- 1:07:23playoff team. The Packers defense has not
- 1:07:25played very well. The Lions defense is all hurt
- 1:07:27too. So there's definitely a window
- 1:07:28for them if they can get healthy first, especially in that
- 1:07:31secondary. Yeah, if they can get healthy
- 1:07:33towards the end. But you know, back to Caleb is
- 1:07:35just it, it's one of those things where you, like you said,
- 1:07:39Errol, it's like you can't really put your finger on what
- 1:07:43it is. But it's it's something that you
- 1:07:46can't teach. And it it's something that I
- 1:07:48think sometimes when you can't put a finger on it is when
- 1:07:50you're like, all right, there's something, but we just can't we
- 1:07:54don't know what it is. You can't teach it.
- 1:07:55You just got it. And it's there's sometimes when
- 1:07:58it clicks, it clicks, right. And then when he gets it, he's
- 1:08:01like, all right, look out because the product was there
- 1:08:04like he, he was there. He knew he's doing the footwork,
- 1:08:07the understanding. Obviously the game's a little
- 1:08:09bit faster at the NFL level. But you know, if, if they they
- 1:08:12got the pieces to put it together.
- 1:08:14And I mean this last week they they gave the the ratings out
- 1:08:17and him and Lamar were the only a rating at quarterback.
- 1:08:20And I think he just keeps getting better as he gets more
- 1:08:24comfortable. And then, you know, I don't
- 1:08:26think he's ever going to be good talking to the media.
- 1:08:28He just like, he's kind of one of those people that feels like
- 1:08:30it's like socially like awkward when it comes to certain things.
- 1:08:34But when he gets on the field, it's when he gets comfortable
- 1:08:37and, and you can see what you know, the potential and, and how
- 1:08:40good he already is. And I think he, he's going to
- 1:08:43get better. And you know, with the guys
- 1:08:45around him being young and, and the opportunity that he has for
- 1:08:48to grow with those receivers. It's, and I hear all about it
- 1:08:52cuz we got a bunch of bears fans because it's, it's proximity
- 1:08:55fans around here. It's like, who's the closest
- 1:08:57that we can get to? It's like, you know, it's the
- 1:08:59chief Bears, the Vikings, you know?
- 1:09:01I will say this and everybody keeps talking and I know this is
- 1:09:04what we're going into the Bengals game and how crazy it
- 1:09:07was and how many points they put up.
- 1:09:08And look at Joe Flacco, old man Joe doing it again.
- 1:09:12And, and, and we expect that from Joe Flacco.
- 1:09:15We expect this from the Bengals. They spend all that money on
- 1:09:18Jamar Chase and Higgins. So we expect them to put up big
- 1:09:21points and, and and evaluate what they're good at.
- 1:09:25The problem here is the Bears are, to me, be a borderline team
- 1:09:31that could make the playoffs. I think there are certain pieces
- 1:09:35that need to be added for them to compete in a division that's
- 1:09:38so highly talented and and with the Packers up and down.
- 1:09:44I don't know what Packers team is going to show up every single
- 1:09:47week. We saw this week against
- 1:09:49Carolina. I mean, is that the Packer team
- 1:09:52we expect to win a championship? Not really.
- 1:09:55I mean, honestly, Jordan Love, who I think he's very, very good
- 1:09:59and very underrated when it comes to the elite quarterbacks
- 1:10:02in the league. I would say top seven, top
- 1:10:04eight. There are games that you kind of
- 1:10:06just scratch your head and hit your head.
- 1:10:09I'm wondering, hey, maybe maybe he really isn't as good as you
- 1:10:13think he could be. So I I don't know how we can
- 1:10:16compare this division and how loaded this division could be
- 1:10:20for the future. But I do know is Caleb Williams
- 1:10:23is for real, and I don't care what expert we've had on our
- 1:10:27show in the past tell me that this guy was not going to be a
- 1:10:30good quarterback in the league. And he says he did it.
- 1:10:32He never said it. OK, Everybody can't stand this
- 1:10:36kid because of his pizzazz, his personality, that he was getting
- 1:10:41so much money in NIL deals before he came to the NFL.
- 1:10:45He was making seven or $8 million a year of NAL money and
- 1:10:49he was in every single commercial.
- 1:10:50And he never went to play in a ball game or we've never played
- 1:10:53in a national championship because he played for the
- 1:10:56garbage USC Trojans. The fact here is when I watch
- 1:11:00this kid, I want to watch him. I don't want to just sit here
- 1:11:04and try to compare him to anybody else.
- 1:11:07I think this kid is so freaking special when 10 years from now,
- 1:11:13when we're looking at quarterbacks of this decade, the
- 1:11:16Patrick Mahomes, the Josh Allen's, the Lamar Jackson's, If
- 1:11:22this kid gets the right coaching from Ben Johnson, I sincerely
- 1:11:26believe this guy could be better than all of them.
- 1:11:30That's how crazy my take here is about Caleb speaking.
- 1:11:35How long have I been telling you about Caleb you've.
- 1:11:37Been hyping up for. A long time, five years.
- 1:11:40I watched this kid play high school ball, and this guy didn't
- 1:11:43even start in his college team. He had to earn his way to to be
- 1:11:48a starter in college. And I said this kid, I watched
- 1:11:51the play high school. I said this kid special, this
- 1:11:53kid is going to go play college ball.
- 1:11:55He's going to be the number one quarterback in the country in
- 1:11:57two or three years. I was right.
- 1:11:59And then I have these experts, these fantasy guru guys come on
- 1:12:03this show and attack my take. Tell me I don't know what I'm
- 1:12:06talking about. Errol, you're an idiot.
- 1:12:07Errol this, Errol that. Yeah, I'm an idiot, huh?
- 1:12:10What is he doing right now? Why do I believe he's better
- 1:12:13than Jaden Daniels? Jaden Daniels took his team to
- 1:12:16an NFC title game last year. And I'm going to tell you this.
- 1:12:19If Caleb Williams was on that Washington Commander team with
- 1:12:23his flair and his understanding of not giving a crap, I believe
- 1:12:30Caleb. Williams wins that.
- 1:12:31Game and beats the Eagles. Crazy, huh?
- 1:12:34No, it's not crazy. It's what I believe and that's
- 1:12:38why I come on this show and I tell you how I feel.
- 1:12:41I don't care what you think. And I'm going to tell you this
- 1:12:44five years from now when Caleb Williams is an elite quarterback
- 1:12:47in the top three, maybe even the number one quarterback in the
- 1:12:50league. And I come back to this
- 1:12:52conversation. What are you going to, what are
- 1:12:54you guys going to say Then what, what commotional crap that
- 1:12:58you're going to say on this show on a network, a major network
- 1:13:02saying, I remember when you were doing, you know, jabbing a mouth
- 1:13:05on, on your network and now you're on this network.
- 1:13:08What what do you say about this? I'm going to say I was right.
- 1:13:11That's what I'm going to say. I was right.
- 1:13:13I've been right the whole time about Caleb Williams.
- 1:13:15The only quarterback I was wrong about was Zach Wilson.
- 1:13:19That is the only quarterback I've been wrong about over the
- 1:13:23last five years, six years. And Justin Fields, I thought
- 1:13:27maybe would work out. By the way, I believe Aaron
- 1:13:30Glenn was going to run his offense.
- 1:13:31I knew we couldn't throw, but I was feeling that maybe he would
- 1:13:34figure it out. But he's not.
- 1:13:36He's not that. And he's a backup quarter.
- 1:13:38He's a bona fide backup quarterback.
- 1:13:40And I have to give. I'm going to take back what I
- 1:13:42said. Yes, you heard it from me.
- 1:13:44For the Pittsburgh Steelers, who I took shots at.
- 1:13:49And when we get Mister Jack back on this show, Sperry, I'm going
- 1:13:53to apologize to him. Yeah, I'm going to apologize to
- 1:13:57him because I told Jack it was the biggest mistake for his
- 1:14:01organization to make was decide to part ways with Justin Fields.
- 1:14:08I was wrong, and I I apologize. I apologize.
- 1:14:13So there you go. My apology.
- 1:14:15If Jack's Berry hears it. I apologize that I was wrong
- 1:14:19about Justin Fields, that you were right with Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:14:23Figure that one out. Aaron Rodgers is winning ball
- 1:14:26games and beat Indianapolis yesterday, which I was shocked
- 1:14:30about. So, Jack, you were right.
- 1:14:32OK? You heard it from me on this
- 1:14:35damn show. All right, Our golf clap of the
- 1:14:38day. This deserves a golf clap.
- 1:14:42No doubt. Golf clap.
- 1:14:43Golf clap. Well, it seems like my deuce of
- 1:14:48the day in my golf clap always has to strand to Travis Hunter.
- 1:14:51And guess what? It's trans again to Travis
- 1:14:53Hunter. Because Travis Hunter, as we all
- 1:14:58believe, is a failure of a football player, has eventually
- 1:15:03turned away from playing football and might not play for
- 1:15:07a significant amount of time. Yeah, for some reason we don't
- 1:15:12know, Travis Hunter is out on IR now.
- 1:15:17The injury is, they're saying it could be some leg injury, but
- 1:15:21nobody knows what it is. Only Travis Hunter knows what
- 1:15:25the injury is, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:15:28And why don't we know? Well, the Unicorn or whatever he
- 1:15:31calls himself, I call him the gremlin.
- 1:15:33He calls himself the Unicorn. Only he or the the team would
- 1:15:39know why this guy is on IR. Remember 2 weeks ago when I had
- 1:15:43Keith come to me and tell me 100 yards. 100 yards.
- 1:15:47Yeah, party part Non human body part.
- 1:15:50That's right. Speedy non human body part.
- 1:15:54Who knows what it is? Only the gremlins.
- 1:15:56Who knows what it is, Only Travis Hunter, the Unicorn who
- 1:16:01before games gets, you know, I don't know.
- 1:16:05Didn't they say it was that prac?
- 1:16:09Yeah, I don't get this. I don't understand this man just
- 1:16:14as much as everybody believes that this guy is a Unicorn.
- 1:16:17This guy is a joke and an absolute debacle.
- 1:16:20So my golf clap goes to the Jaguars again.
- 1:16:24Absolutely. Making a trade for this.
- 1:16:27Good for nothing. I don't know what you call him.
- 1:16:30Corner, wide receiver, garbage. The Kremlin himself.
- 1:16:34So my Golf Club goes to the Jaguars, not Travis Hunter.
- 1:16:37I can't give him a golf clap. Why would I ever give Travis
- 1:16:40Hunter a golf clap? I'm going to give it to the
- 1:16:42Jaguars. All right, When we come back,
- 1:16:44ladies and gentlemen, he's been waiting calmly and carefully for
- 1:16:47the first time on JOB in the mouth.
- 1:16:49We are going to be talking to the founder and former CEO of
- 1:16:53Steiner Sports, and he has his own company right now,
- 1:16:57Collectible Exchange and the Steiner Agency.
- 1:17:01Brandon Steiner put our sports minute with Mr. Fish.
- 1:17:07This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sportsman ads.
- 1:17:13All right, everybody, Aaron Fishman here with your
- 1:17:15sportsman, they've got a couple of stories for you before we get
- 1:17:18into the scores this evening. The Philadelphia Eagles made
- 1:17:21multiple moves on their by this week as they added three names
- 1:17:24familiar to many NFL fans to bolster their defense.
- 1:17:28The Eagles first traded with The Jets for corner Michael Carter,
- 1:17:31the second giving them a slot corner presence that can free up
- 1:17:34Cooper to Jean play more outside and added former Pro Bowl
- 1:17:38cornerback Jair Alexander from the Ravens, who has been a
- 1:17:42healthy scratch for most of the season.
- 1:17:44And he will be more depth at the position in just for a late
- 1:17:47round swap for both those players last week.
- 1:17:50Earlier today, however, the Eagles addressed their need at
- 1:17:53edge rusher and traded a third round pick to the Dolphins for
- 1:17:56Jalen Phillips. Phillips will now reunite with
- 1:17:59Victoria Fangio. He played four in 2023 when he
- 1:18:01had 6 1/2 sacks in just eight games before getting injured.
- 1:18:05Phillips had three sacks this season, 9 games for the
- 1:18:07Dolphins. The Eagles come out of the buy
- 1:18:09at 62 and and will face the Packers in Lambeau next week on
- 1:18:13Monday Night Football with their reloaded defense.
- 1:18:17Major League Baseball announced the 2025 Bold Glove winners on
- 1:18:20Tuesday after the conclusion of the World Series.

- 1:21:28he's been waiting as a lot of our guests do sometimes I'm
- 1:21:31sorry, we, we get a little too enthusiastic.
- 1:21:35There's, there's just too much personality on the show.
- 1:21:38We are now talking to former and founder and CEO of Steiner
- 1:21:44Sports. The one and only, the man, the
- 1:21:47myth, the legend. Brandon Steiner.
- 1:21:51Brandon, what's up, buddy? Hello.
- 1:21:53Wow, a lot of energy going on on that show.
- 1:21:56I expect nothing less from the two of you.
- 1:21:59Missed Job. I don't get to see him as often
- 1:22:01as I used to, but he's still a legend.
- 1:22:04Well, at least in New York he is.
- 1:22:06What's up Brandon, How you been, man?
- 1:22:07I've been phenomenal and everything is great, rocking and
- 1:22:11rolling. By the way, a little footnote,
- 1:22:12you know, I've been listening to the show for a little while and
- 1:22:15I hear you about the Aaron, Aaron Rodgers thing.
- 1:22:18But there is a thing, you know, Mike Tomlin, I mean, he's, he's
- 1:22:23a great coach and I think he figured out a way to use Aaron a
- 1:22:26lot better than maybe The Jets did.
- 1:22:29Here's the thing. And I I you might be right.
- 1:22:31And I'm not saying Mike Tomlin. Throw that out.
- 1:22:33I'm not saying Mike Tomlin isn't a great coach, he's a winning
- 1:22:36coach. But guess what?
- 1:22:38Mike Tomlin 8 consecutive seasons going into the first
- 1:22:42round and being eliminated, he doesn't win the big game.
- 1:22:44I'm not saying Mike Tomlin doesn't figure out ways to get
- 1:22:48his quarterbacks to play well. He did it with Justin Fields, he
- 1:22:50did it with Russell Wilson, so he got those guys to play for
- 1:22:54him. And then going to the playoffs,
- 1:22:56at one point he was using Mason Rudolph.
- 1:22:58So it's not like Mike Tomlin doesn't know what he's doing.
- 1:23:02The problem with Mike Tomlin over the last couple of years is
- 1:23:04he just doesn't know how to get over the hump.
- 1:23:06And, and to say that I, I, I don't know if he figured out
- 1:23:09Aaron Rodgers. I think he just lets Aaron
- 1:23:11Rodgers be Aaron Rodgers. And what Aaron Rodgers likes to
- 1:23:14do is step inside the pocket and as long as he gets time to throw
- 1:23:19the ball, he's going to make those throws.
- 1:23:21They brought in DK Metcalf, they have other running back weapons.
- 1:23:25They have Warren, they have they brought in Gainwell, they have
- 1:23:29weapons and their offensive line is played a little bit better so
- 1:23:32far over the last couple of games.
- 1:23:34So I was very shocked the way their defense played against
- 1:23:38Indianapolis. I will get into a little bit
- 1:23:40later. I Daniel Jones.
- 1:23:42That was the first time I could say that Daniel Jones look like
- 1:23:45a deer in a headlight since he's been with the Indianapolis
- 1:23:48Colts. So that was very impressive.
- 1:23:50The way Tomlin, you know, structured his defense against
- 1:23:55one of the best offenses in the NFL.
- 1:23:56There's no argument to that. But I.
- 1:23:59Think it, I think it's, I think it's really hard to win.
- 1:24:02I don't know if people understand how hard it is to
- 1:24:04win, let alone win consistently. One of the reasons why I like
- 1:24:07Tomlin, he doesn't win consistently, but you got to win
- 1:24:10big. But he is like one of the
- 1:24:12longest 10 year coaches. But I I just think in Major
- 1:24:16League sports it's really hard to win and you don't really
- 1:24:19unless you're on the inside and realize what the players have to
- 1:24:23go through. The movement of players between
- 1:24:25free agency contracts, it's just really hard to figure out how to
- 1:24:30get a bunch of guys together, keeping together and then
- 1:24:34hopefully have the winning formula as more and more in this
- 1:24:37business. It's just it just seems to be
- 1:24:40getting more and more incredibly hard to win and you see only a
- 1:24:44select group of teams win and there's a larger group of teams
- 1:24:49that don't win consistently. And to me, I just blame it on
- 1:24:52coaching and ownership. Brandon, I live in New York, OK?
- 1:24:57You do I ruin. What a surprise.
- 1:25:00I live in New York and I have to deal with just terrible sports
- 1:25:04teams year in and year out. I mean Knick fans.
- 1:25:07Want to drop a ball? Yeah, the Knick fans.
- 1:25:09Are you listening to the Knick fans right now on social media?
- 1:25:12They want to jump off a bridge because they haven't started off
- 1:25:14strong. And I said you got a new coach.
- 1:25:17It takes 25 games to figure out the rotation.
- 1:25:20It doesn't happen overnight, Nick.
- 1:25:22Fans, they should have switched coaches. 100 percent, 100%.
- 1:25:26I think Tom Thibodeau. I think Tom Thibodeau should
- 1:25:29have been gone two years ago. That's my honest opinion.
- 1:25:32I don't think he worked over there.
- 1:25:34He couldn't get this team over the hump.
- 1:25:35This team was so talented last year.
- 1:25:37They beat the Boston Celtics and I want to hear that Tatum went
- 1:25:41down in the final game. They were going to win that game
- 1:25:43no matter what. This Nick team was better than
- 1:25:46the Celtics and had more depth. The reason why they lost against
- 1:25:49Halliburton and the Indianapolis Pacers, there's only one reason
- 1:25:53why they don't play perimeter defense.
- 1:25:57And if you don't play perimeter defense against good guard play,
- 1:26:01you're not winning. And that's why the Knicks didn't
- 1:26:04win that series and they have a guy like Karl Anthony Towns
- 1:26:07shooting up 90 foot jumpers at 3 pointer, shooting 3 pointers.
- 1:26:11Out of the court, but that's his game.
- 1:26:13Yeah, but Jalen Brunson got exposed on the defense.
- 1:26:16Yes, he did. I wonder what's going to happen
- 1:26:18if he can actually pick up the pace on the defense and also not
- 1:26:21have to have the ball and stand all the time.
- 1:26:23But he lives one block from me. You know, a lot of the Knicks, I
- 1:26:26have a indoor full court basketball court in my house and
- 1:26:29a lot of the Knicks work out here.
- 1:26:30So I get all the skinny. I let him use the court, but
- 1:26:34then I got to ask questions. But Jalen hasn't come over here
- 1:26:37yet. He only moved.
- 1:26:38Here, Brandon, you're still in the same house.
- 1:26:40Yeah. Oh.
- 1:26:44Where am I going? I don't know.
- 1:26:47I mean, I've known you a long time.
- 1:26:48You've been in that house for a while.
- 1:26:50I've been in that house for 22 years, 20,000 square feet, just
- 1:26:54me and my wife. My wife doesn't want to move.
- 1:26:56I have no choice. I don't get any speaking lines.
- 1:26:59You know, I'm like, I'm no different than everybody else
- 1:27:01listening. You know I'm not.
- 1:27:02You think I'm calling the final shots here?
- 1:27:05Well, I knew. I know that.
- 1:27:08Somebody asked him. I'm not complaining.
- 1:27:10I'm explaining, but it's not right now there, There's no move
- 1:27:14happening anytime soon. But you know, I love it.
- 1:27:17It's I'm great grateful to have had the career and some of the
- 1:27:21things I've been able to do. I'm just shocked that the new
- 1:27:23company is even working. I'm just, it's just amazed that,
- 1:27:28you know, you don't really know. You can have a bad day, which I
- 1:27:31had a bad day when I got moved out of Stein or was not a happy
- 1:27:34day, but you know, I didn't have a bad past and, you know, the
- 1:27:39customers followed me. I tell people that you can have
- 1:27:42a bad day, you can have a bad past.
- 1:27:44And I think it's just important, you know, especially in the
- 1:27:47collectible business and with athletes, you know, they don't
- 1:27:49get it. You don't get a second chance
- 1:27:51with a lot of athletes and you got to make sure that, you know,
- 1:27:53with collectibles, there's only one way to go and that's making
- 1:27:57sure this stuff is real, it's authentic, and you're doing the
- 1:27:59right thing for people. So I've been very lucky.
- 1:28:02What's crazy is how much stuff people have.
- 1:28:05I, I just can't believe how much stuff.
- 1:28:07I mean, I put out about 40 million autographs, I figure
- 1:28:10maybe a little more, but I can't believe the collections that are
- 1:28:14becoming to me now. They're huge.
- 1:28:16I mean, just thousands of pieces.
- 1:28:17I'm like. Brandon, Brandon.
- 1:28:20Brandon. Brandon.
- 1:28:21You. You.
- 1:28:22You're you're talking about 40 million autographs.
- 1:28:25I mean, who's better than you? How do you have a bad day?
- 1:28:28What is a bad day for Brandon Steiner?
- 1:28:30Please tell me. Oh, my wife didn't make me
- 1:28:33breakfast. Please tell me what?
- 1:28:36Is it hasn't cooked for me yet in in a 38 years We're married
- 1:28:39that was part of the deal, but there's no complaints there.
- 1:28:42You know, probably a bad day is, you know, negotiating with
- 1:28:45Ewing, his new contract and, and you know, the, the athletes now
- 1:28:51I'm very grateful. I've, I've, I've had mostly
- 1:28:54really good experience with most players.
- 1:28:56But you know, listen, the athletes have gotten big, the
- 1:28:59contracts have gotten big and then my category has gotten
- 1:29:01smaller, even though the category has gotten bigger.
- 1:29:05And, you know, listen, it's tough to go to a guy with a few
- 1:29:07100 grand when they're making $20 million a year.
- 1:29:10So that part has been difficult. And like, listen, you know, I'm
- 1:29:14competing. You know, you want to win.
- 1:29:16And winning is, you know, getting these fans and getting
- 1:29:18my customers, you know what they want, getting them opportunities
- 1:29:22to meet the fans and the meet the players.
- 1:29:25And you know, that's, that's that's the whole gig.
- 1:29:27It's like, you know, when Jabba was on the Yankees, like people
- 1:29:30meeting Jabba was a huge deal. And he was extremely gracious
- 1:29:35and great about it. Like, and he had hair stuff
- 1:29:36accessible and he had hair. He was amazing.
- 1:29:39Yeah, he had hair. And believe me, he had balls
- 1:29:42too, man. There's no question.
- 1:29:43There's no doubt. I mean, there is a personality
- 1:29:45and and, you know, you don't get a lot of job as they come
- 1:29:48through. You know, you don't get that
- 1:29:50kind of energy, enthusiasm and enjoyment of the whole situation
- 1:29:54like Jabba. But when you do, it's, you know,
- 1:29:57now I haven't done this that long.
- 1:29:59I I have to take advantage of it because it doesn't always happen
- 1:30:02that way. And it's it's hard to be a New
- 1:30:04York Yankee, by the way. So I don't have that many bad
- 1:30:08days. You're right.
- 1:30:08You, you called me on that and that's true.
- 1:30:10But I think that to me, how great, I mean, what a great time
- 1:30:15of year. I mean, you're talking about
- 1:30:16every sports going on. I don't even have to talk to my
- 1:30:19wife. I've got college basketball.
- 1:30:21I got NFL football, Monday Night Football tonight.
- 1:30:23I love your show. I love these.
- 1:30:26I think this is the future live streaming where people can
- 1:30:29interact. They can kind of chime in.
- 1:30:32I do a show now on Whatnot, which I can't believe like
- 1:30:34tomorrow night I'll be on Whatnot with Joe Hollywood.
- 1:30:37We do this show from 8:00 at night to 6:00 in the morning.
- 1:30:41We sell thousands and thousands of things.
- 1:30:44I never thought I'd be doing it, but what I love about the live
- 1:30:47stream is that you're on like a platform like we're on now,
- 1:30:51except people buying stuff left and right and, and you can
- 1:30:55communicate with the people that are buying all night and you
- 1:30:58find out what you what you they like, what they don't like
- 1:31:01talking sports. It's it's amazing.
- 1:31:04It's amazing how much, how much now you can be in touch with
- 1:31:06your customer if you want to and I'm enjoying that part of the
- 1:31:10business a lot. We are talking to the founder
- 1:31:13and former CEO of Steiner Sports, Brandon Steiner.
- 1:31:16He also right now runs, he's the CEO of Collectible Exchange and
- 1:31:20the Steiner Agency. I wonder what the Steiner Agency
- 1:31:23is. We'll have to know.
- 1:31:25You'll probably have to explain that to us.
- 1:31:27I want to get into the background of New York sports
- 1:31:31right now. And we were just making fun of
- 1:31:34it because let's be honest, the Giants stink, The Jets, the
- 1:31:38Islanders are young team. The Rangers look like they're
- 1:31:41you know, but they look like they're a deer in the
- 1:31:43headlights. You have the Knicks, they're
- 1:31:45going to be good. I believe they'll be good in the
- 1:31:47the Brooklyn Nets. Well enough sound.
- 1:31:50And you look at New York sports and you wonder, you know,
- 1:31:54Brandon, you, you, you look at it and you understand what it is
- 1:31:58and what it's all about. And New York Knick basketball,
- 1:32:01they haven't won a championship since the 70s New York Jet
- 1:32:05football, they haven't won since 69.
- 1:32:07New York Giant football, they haven't won since 2011.
- 1:32:10I could go on and on and on. How about how about the Mets
- 1:32:121986? Why is it that New York sports
- 1:32:17hasn't been as dominant as maybe Boston or.
- 1:32:21Tell you why, by the way, you didn't mention the Rangers.
- 1:32:23They suck too. But.
- 1:32:24I did, I did, I said the deer in.
- 1:32:27The headline, I think. The Guardian, by the way,
- 1:32:30tickets are incredibly high at the Garden.
- 1:32:32I don't know why. And incredibly expensive.
- 1:32:35I mean, a regular everyday ticket is like playoff ticket
- 1:32:38money. But I think the Garden, I think
- 1:32:40a lot of players, when it comes down to it, it's not a big deal
- 1:32:43to come to New York anymore. You're not doing it for Madison
- 1:32:47Ave. You're not doing it for the
- 1:32:48extra money, You're not doing for the extra height.
- 1:32:50You get just as much hype as any market as you do in New York.
- 1:32:53So there's no more of an edge. You play at the Garden, right?
- 1:32:57You're practicing up in Westchester.
- 1:32:59So one way or the other, you're you're a big guy or you're, you
- 1:33:03know, you know, between practice workouts, the practice facility
- 1:33:08is an hour and a half away from where you play the games.
- 1:33:12So already that's no good. That's a waste.
- 1:33:14And that's a big mistake on the Gardens part.
- 1:33:17I think The Jets have a practice facility like an hour away from
- 1:33:20the Meadowlands. That's a mistake.
- 1:33:22That's a problem. I think playing on the Yankees,
- 1:33:25it's not the same as it used to be.
- 1:33:28It's a big deal to play in the Yankee Stadium, but not as big a
- 1:33:31deal. And the pressures that come with
- 1:33:32it. And that's, listen, I love Derek
- 1:33:35Jeter. He probably is responsible for a
- 1:33:37big part of my career. But the one thing him and I
- 1:33:39never saw on eye with is that if you don't win a championship,
- 1:33:42the season's a bust and it puts just enormous pressure.
- 1:33:46I mean, we went to the World Series last year, people acted
- 1:33:49like we were a complete disaster.
- 1:33:51And this year, believe it or not, we, we made a couple
- 1:33:54mistakes in August that really came back to haunt us.
- 1:33:57But that team was as good as Toronto, right right along with
- 1:34:01them at the same record. And believe it or not, if they
- 1:34:04would have won the division, they may have had a chance to
- 1:34:06maybe go to World Series. That's how good the team was.
- 1:34:09This is the first time when I was at Aaron Booth's house the
- 1:34:11other day, he was still really disappointed because he felt
- 1:34:15like he had a team that was hot at the right time.
- 1:34:18They definitely had the talent and they had a good chance to go
- 1:34:20to the World Series. I just think, you know, when I
- 1:34:23look at, when I look at New York sports, the amount of media, the
- 1:34:28it's not the safest place these days.
- 1:34:31You know, do you want to bring your family here?
- 1:34:33There's not enough an advantage. You don't have the tax advantage
- 1:34:37and go on and on. We we need to start thinking
- 1:34:39about how we start treating our athletes.
- 1:34:41I mean, there's a lot of pressure, you know, where we
- 1:34:44should just be, you know, calming down.
- 1:34:45Otherwise, we're just not going to produce winners.
- 1:34:47So you don't want to be like Phil Jackson.
- 1:34:49You don't want to be like Phil writing a book and talking about
- 1:34:52Carmelo Anthony. And you don't want to do that.
- 1:34:55Is that is that what you're trying to say?
- 1:34:57I don't want to do that. I'm I'm happy with what I'm
- 1:35:00doing. I wish the teams here were
- 1:35:01winning a little bit more, but I've taken advantage of what's
- 1:35:03going on around the country. And plus you have a whole bunch
- 1:35:06of new sports leagues. To me, college is, is pro.
- 1:35:09So I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I do Michigan collectibles, St.
- 1:35:13John's collectibles, Syracuse collectibles.
- 1:35:16I'm, I'm happy now taking advantage of the college, you
- 1:35:19know, the college kids. That's like pro.
- 1:35:22That's the whole thing in itself.
- 1:35:23I mean, I think St. John's going to be going to a
- 1:35:24final four. I'd love to see the Big East
- 1:35:27tournament with Saint John's AU Conn in the finals.
- 1:35:30It's going to be a really big deal this year.
- 1:35:32That may be a little bit of a boost to New York sports.
- 1:35:35I think the Mets are going to finally figure it out.
- 1:35:37I think Steve Cohen's got the money and he's a figure it out
- 1:35:40guy. But you're right, it's been
- 1:35:42disappointing so far. And a lot of it is he doesn't
- 1:35:46have the right management. You know, people don't realize
- 1:35:49how important ownership and management is.
- 1:35:51And the Yankees, love them or hate them, they have really good
- 1:35:54management. They always figure out at least
- 1:35:57get to the playoffs. And I think there's something to
- 1:35:59be said about that. You can kill Tomlin about not
- 1:36:01getting over the hump, but there's something to be said
- 1:36:04about least, least. Making a playoff year and you're
- 1:36:06out and knowing your team has a chance.
- 1:36:08It's disappointing, but it's even more disappointing not
- 1:36:10never make the playoffs. And I can tell you a ton of
- 1:36:13teams that never make the playoffs ever.
- 1:36:16And then for me, it's in my business, a collectible
- 1:36:18exchange. Nobody wants to buy those teams
- 1:36:21that are constantly losing and just shorts the market.
- 1:36:23I want everybody to win. It's a big help to me.
- 1:36:26Yeah, I want to ask you. Speaking, Speaking of the Big
- 1:36:28East tournament, though, Brandon, one of my restaurant
- 1:36:31sponsors, we're one of the main sponsors for the Big East
- 1:36:33tournament, so. It's going to be huge.
- 1:36:36The big. The Big East is the best league.
- 1:36:39I don't care. I think it's the best league.
- 1:36:41I miss the old Big East. I'm an old school guy at the old
- 1:36:45Villanova, Syracuse, Georgetown, Syracuse, John Thompson.
- 1:36:50I mean, but the biggies now is probably the best conference and
- 1:36:54focus on basketball with a lot of those teams, which I love.
- 1:36:57They're not football schools that do basketball.
- 1:37:01And all those schools are ponied up money.
- 1:37:04All of them will put money in. UCONN's got a lot of money.
- 1:37:06Saint John's got a lot of money. Villanova put some extra money
- 1:37:09in their hat. They should be better.
- 1:37:11It's going to be really fun. College basketball would be fun.
- 1:37:14It's it's, it's another level of pro.
- 1:37:16It's another pro league where you know they have to play a
- 1:37:20little bit defensive. That's the problem.
- 1:37:21That's Brandon, that's the problem, because everybody talks
- 1:37:24about, you know, college sports and how great it is.
- 1:37:27And I, I admit the tournament is the best time of year.
- 1:37:30I mean, who doesn't have their eyes locked in?
- 1:37:33But here's the problem. The analysts are horrible.
- 1:37:36The, the broadcasting, the way they're bringing in it, bringing
- 1:37:39it to the forefront. I don't think it's it's
- 1:37:41beneficial for the sport to grow the way some of these
- 1:37:45organizations like Fox and ESPN, the way they're bringing it to
- 1:37:49and and not valuing it and putting the best talent up there
- 1:37:53for them to promote their product to be one of the biggest
- 1:37:56products in the world. They have a little ways to go.
- 1:37:59They're going to get there. By the way, just my little bitch
- 1:38:01of the night. I can't even get ESPNI just told
- 1:38:04my wife. It's like, where's ESPN?
- 1:38:07I have YouTube TV, they whacked ESPN and ABCI can't even watch
- 1:38:12Monday night. They need to, that's the
- 1:38:14Brandon. They need to hire us because
- 1:38:15we're the best. I mean, we are the best.
- 1:38:18I mean, job are you, are we, are we wrong here?
- 1:38:20I think you're going to see a lot more of these channels
- 1:38:23hiring guys like you, like this show even.
- 1:38:26Yes, I hired John Boys and those guys like I think people want
- 1:38:30more real stuff like this. I think we've already seen the
- 1:38:35canned play by play. It's boring.
- 1:38:40I think, you know, even the S network, they just made some
- 1:38:42changes with their broadcasters, like it was just boring.
- 1:38:45It was bad. And and people want more, they
- 1:38:48want more fun. They want more excitement.
- 1:38:50If I'm going to sit there and listen for two or three hours, I
- 1:38:53want more interaction. I want to be more fun.
- 1:38:55I want to be more insightful. I think that's.
- 1:38:58That's why they've done a lot of the stuff of like during the
- 1:39:00game as far as like interviews with the manager and, and even
- 1:39:04the players too. So I think you're right.
- 1:39:06It's it's kind of gotten boring. And I think more if you're
- 1:39:09trying to draw to a bigger crowd in a bigger market, especially,
- 1:39:13you know, the younger ones, they this is what they do.
- 1:39:16They're interactive. They want to see it as, you
- 1:39:18know, as it's going on with you and like, be a fan as much as
- 1:39:22they are getting information about.
- 1:39:24Why do you think the Manning cast has been so great?
- 1:39:26Because it's two brothers sitting there, you know,
- 1:39:29shooting the shit, just basically telling you about the
- 1:39:31game and, and you feel like you're a part like in the garage
- 1:39:34with them watching the game. And for me, that's more
- 1:39:36enjoyable. I mean, I'm, I'm a fan of the
- 1:39:39game longer than I was able to play it.
- 1:39:40So, you know, when they do those, you know, in the
- 1:39:43clubhouses where they're sitting there on MLB Network and stuff
- 1:39:45like that. Like I enjoy that because I like
- 1:39:47the interactive back and forth. Sometimes as the the manager
- 1:39:51interviews during the game, when it's like in the 6th or 7th
- 1:39:54inning, I'm like, yeah, I kind of scratch my head every once in
- 1:39:56a while, but I I like some of the things they've done.
- 1:40:00You're short your head, it's not your ass.
- 1:40:03It's 2 vibes for. That.
- 1:40:08I would love to, you know, to me, when you watch a game with a
- 1:40:11person who's played the game on a professional level, it's
- 1:40:15another common, I mean, I I've, I've gone to games at courtside
- 1:40:20and gone home with a player that was in the game and I have no
- 1:40:23idea what I was watching. Like, I just wish they would
- 1:40:26have more commentary for more players that were in the game
- 1:40:30and not to mention the game recently.
- 1:40:32I'm disappointed in Tom Brady. I thought he was going to be
- 1:40:34better. You know, Tony Romo was really
- 1:40:37good the first few years and I guess he just gave up on or
- 1:40:41maybe they told him he was like calling every freaking play.
- 1:40:44It was unbelievable. Brandon then he gave up.
- 1:40:46They they got paid. That's what it is.
- 1:40:49Money makes the world go right. And just what it is with Tony
- 1:40:52Romo's You just can't give him the Chiefs Bills game because
- 1:40:55he'll just gust over both quarterbacks like a teenage
- 1:40:57girl. And now he owns.
- 1:40:58And now he owns a. Poll terrible.
- 1:41:00Yesterday he fucked up the game. It's terrible.
- 1:41:03And and why does the NFL make rules that work for him?
- 1:41:06I mean, he owns a piece of Las Vegas and now he can actually be
- 1:41:10an analyst at a Vegas Raider game.
- 1:41:13How does that make any sense? It's been in the rule book
- 1:41:15forever, but it's Tom Brady's. So you know what?
- 1:41:18Let's break the rule. Who cares what the NFL have in?
- 1:41:21Mind if he was good? He's not any good.
- 1:41:25He's not Just like when I look at Fox and I look at the post
- 1:41:28game, if I could even understand what David Ortiz is saying.
- 1:41:32A Rod's never going to say anything.
- 1:41:33Controversy. He's trying to make everybody
- 1:41:35happy, guys, you know, you know, you know what his ringtone is?
- 1:41:38Ding a wing. A wing, you know what that is?
- 1:41:40That's the Mr. Softly truck coming down the street.
- 1:41:43I mean, come on, man, say something that's controversial
- 1:41:46and those guys know better. That's what pisses me off.
- 1:41:48They know a lot more than we so, but they don't say it and
- 1:41:53jeter's never going to be controversy.
- 1:41:55He's never going to say something that's going to be Oh
- 1:41:57my God, that's that was this bullshit what they did?
- 1:42:00I mean, how do they not even talk about and I like I will
- 1:42:04kind of fluff. I was a good Yankee, but how are
- 1:42:08you not talking about the fact he didn't take the the
- 1:42:10appropriate lead on third base? The reason why I didn't take the
- 1:42:14appropriate lead of third base was the guy got picked off the
- 1:42:16night before at 2nd and he didn't want to have it happen to
- 1:42:19him and it cost him the game. I mean, there's so many little
- 1:42:21things that happened. It's almost like watching
- 1:42:24Rebecca Lobo doing the WNBA games because she's freaking
- 1:42:27horrible. She's the worst.
- 1:42:29I don't even know what she's. I mean, she played and she
- 1:42:32doesn't want to say anything gothic.
- 1:42:34She says something critical. I mean, really bad stuff is
- 1:42:37happening. She has a brilliant.
- 1:42:38Brandon, if you actually, if you listen to this show, you know,
- 1:42:41we, we don't hide behind our voices.
- 1:42:43We, we, we explain and, and what we feel is what you get.
- 1:42:48And it doesn't really matter what anybody thinks on this
- 1:42:50show. But you said it, you said it
- 1:42:52best kind of falafel because that's all he was.
- 1:42:54He was a dead falafel at third base.
- 1:42:57And as far as as far as I'm concerned, when I.
- 1:43:00Should have had a bigger lead. Yeah, he should have.
- 1:43:02Well, come on. Brandon.
- 1:43:04The funny part is Arrow will still rather have him on the
- 1:43:06team than Jazz Chisholm. You're damn right.
- 1:43:08And I don't call him Jazz Chisholm.
- 1:43:10You know what I call him? Anybody that listens to the show
- 1:43:12knows what I call him. Jabba doesn't want me.
- 1:43:14To call him, I want to hear it. I don't know.
- 1:43:16What do you call? Him.
- 1:43:17I call him Jazz Jism and Jabba looks at me and.
- 1:43:25He's been, he's been waiting to say that.
- 1:43:29I got AI got a jersey made and I it's coming in the mail.
- 1:43:33When I get it, I'm going to wear it with pride.
- 1:43:35I also named Travis Hunter, I gave him a nickname.
- 1:43:39I was at the Heisman. So Brandon, and by the way, we
- 1:43:41are speaking to found the former founder and CEO of Steiner
- 1:43:46Sports, Brandon Steiner, who also owns Collectible Exchange
- 1:43:49and the Steiner Agency. If you don't know who he is,
- 1:43:53well then shame on you. I was at the Heisman Trophy
- 1:43:57dinner, OK, And Travis Hunter was there and everybody was like
- 1:44:01flocking to him and I wasn't, I was interested in Gabriel and
- 1:44:05Ward and and Ashton Gente. I was into those guys.
- 1:44:09I was not into Travis Hunter because I couldn't.
- 1:44:12I just didn't like his personality.
- 1:44:14So so we're standing up there and they're taking pictures with
- 1:44:16the trophy and you see Ashton Gente talking to him and Wards
- 1:44:21right on the other side of them. So they're talking and they're
- 1:44:24talking about. So I mentioned a ward you you
- 1:44:27mentioned the Giants that if the Giants pick you, you know, it
- 1:44:31would be great to go and play for the New York Giants.
- 1:44:33I said, what about The Jets and Travis?
- 1:44:36Travis opened his big fat mouth and he says nobody wants to play
- 1:44:39with The Jets. They're a bunch of losers.
- 1:44:41And I turned around and said, well, you're right, because
- 1:44:43we're not going to draft you because we got a better a better
- 1:44:46player than you'll ever be in Sauz Garner and I walked away
- 1:44:49and every single writer looked at me and their mouth dropped.
- 1:44:54And then this writer Scooby speed.
- 1:44:56We've had him on the show. He he sat there.
- 1:44:59He said, I can't believe you just said that to the the the
- 1:45:03future or the next Heisman Trophy.
- 1:45:05When I said anybody that votes him in is an idiot, So and, and,
- 1:45:09and I said that he's going to fail seven years in the NFL and
- 1:45:13he is he's going to fail. And I gave him the nickname the
- 1:45:15Gremlin. He looks like the gremlin.
- 1:45:18So I got a jersey made #12 the Gremlin put on the back of it.
- 1:45:23And when? Now, are you a red zone guy on
- 1:45:26Sunday? I mean, is that you just, you
- 1:45:27got to watch it all. You have a favorite.
- 1:45:29So so I'm AI am a Jets fan, but I'm also an eagles fan.
- 1:45:33I grew up a Donovan McNabb fan, so I know that possible I know
- 1:45:38here we go here we go here we go So here's how it was possible.
- 1:45:43I grew up, I'm going to tell you.
- 1:45:45So I he followed Donovan when he was in high school and when he
- 1:45:48went to Syracuse. I've I just fell in love with
- 1:45:51his game. So I knew wherever he was going
- 1:45:53to go because I knew he was going to be a top three, top
- 1:45:55four pick. Wherever he was going to go, I
- 1:45:57was going to root for that team, no matter if I was a Jet fan or
- 1:46:00not. He went to the Eagles and
- 1:46:02everybody was like, how could you root for the Eagles?
- 1:46:04But and then everybody thought it was the green and white.
- 1:46:07I was like, it has nothing to do with the green and white.
- 1:46:10As a matter of fact, I hate the color green so.
- 1:46:14So Donovan is, I've met him a couple of times and Donovan was
- 1:46:18such a straightforward. To Syracuse What happened to
- 1:46:21Syracuse? Yeah, he went to Syracuse.
- 1:46:23Yep. I know, I know.
- 1:46:24I went to Syracuse. No, no, no, no, I no, I didn't
- 1:46:26go to Syracuse. Come on.
- 1:46:27And. He didn't.
- 1:46:28He didn't go to school, Brandon. No, that's I did go to school.
- 1:46:31What are you talking about? It's such a let's see what it
- 1:46:34is, OK, Brandon, that now Jabba is now he's now he's reaching
- 1:46:37here. I did go to school.
- 1:46:39I do have a degree, but I hurt my knee.
- 1:46:42I was a hockey player and I had an opportunity to play Division
- 1:46:47One hockey. And and the story goes I was a
- 1:46:50really good hockey player. But it it didn't come to
- 1:46:52fruition, as Jabba would put it in his own little strategic way
- 1:46:57with his nice little beady glasses and his bald little
- 1:47:00head. But I honestly would tell you
- 1:47:04that competition in professional sports I don't know anything
- 1:47:07about because I never played professional sports.
- 1:47:10But I played against top and athletes.
- 1:47:13I played against Sidney Crosby, I played against some of the
- 1:47:16Rangers when I was skating with them when I was a kid.
- 1:47:18Mark Messy, Adam Grey's, Brian Leach, Vladimir Molikov, Darius
- 1:47:22Kasparidis. I skated with those guys and I
- 1:47:24can compete with them. So to sit here, Mr. Chamberlain,
- 1:47:30I would tell. You Is there video evidence of
- 1:47:32this? Because I'd like to see.
- 1:47:33It I I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what too.
- 1:47:35I I. Tell you, I'm asking messy.
- 1:47:36I'm calling messy. Go call him, go call him, tell
- 1:47:40him, tell him the old little skinny scrawny arrow marks can
- 1:47:43tell you to, you know, keep winning.
- 1:47:46I. Mean I got to change the subject
- 1:47:48for one minute here. I got to ask Jabba question.
- 1:47:50Go ahead hit it. It's been driving me crazy but I
- 1:47:52was like I I'm going to ask him when I see him.
- 1:47:55I don't know where this is going by the way.
- 1:47:57I'm changing direction completely.
- 1:47:59I mean, I'm assuming that everything he said about his
- 1:48:01hockey career is true. And I'm I'm going to buy and I'm
- 1:48:04going to give it to him because there's not a lot of New Yorkers
- 1:48:07that, you know, could talk about becoming a really great hockey
- 1:48:10player at all because there's no rinks.
- 1:48:12But Jabba, you're on the mound in Cleveland.
- 1:48:15The bugs are all over you, right?
- 1:48:18When you look back on it now that's, I don't know, how many
- 1:48:20years ago should they have stopped the game.
- 1:48:23When you look back on that, should have stopped the game.
- 1:48:27I mean, I was so young. I had like looking back now, if
- 1:48:30it if if it happened now, yeah, probably.
- 1:48:33But I mean, I didn't I didn't do my job at the end of the day.
- 1:48:37So it was really my fault. I didn't I didn't say anything.
- 1:48:39Obviously Joe was Joe was like, that's his only regret, which it
- 1:48:44in turn, it really wasn't his his fault.
- 1:48:46No, there it is. The bugs got me.
- 1:48:49I got to say job, you were unstoppable, man.
- 1:48:51You were forced to be that dealt with.
- 1:48:53It was unbelievable. It was.
- 1:48:54It was good. And you kept me busy too.
- 1:48:57My hand would cramp up during sessions with you though.
- 1:48:59And. Because you signed your whole
- 1:49:01freaking name. I have a lot of respect.
- 1:49:02Nobody. Nobody.
- 1:49:04I didn't expect to come into this.
- 1:49:05Nobody told me what I was supposed to do.
- 1:49:07I love the fact that you signed both names.
- 1:49:09You could read it. I think that was cool.
- 1:49:12People another show job. I do.
- 1:49:15I mean, I, I practice a lot in school, so I had a lot of
- 1:49:18practice. I know.
- 1:49:19Not my choice. Yeah, I know, right?
- 1:49:21That went over like a Fardon church.
- 1:49:25Now could you, if you come back to Old Timers day, could you
- 1:49:29still throw some strikes? Yeah, I played well, Carter's,
- 1:49:32Carter's now a sophomore in college, so I played long toss
- 1:49:34with Carter all the time. Wow, I just remember it was like
- 1:49:37yesterday he was having a catch on the field with him.
- 1:49:39Yeah, I know. You're telling me.
- 1:49:41Oh my God, now he's taller than me.
- 1:49:42He's literally 65 now. Where is he going to school?
- 1:49:46He's at a junior College in Kansas.
- 1:49:48Wow, he's probably got, he may have the stuff you got.
- 1:49:51You were a late bloomer from that speaking.
- 1:49:54Yeah, he's grown late too, so. Brandon, in many different ways,
- 1:49:58late blooming, in many different ways, I'm talking about my son,
- 1:50:02talking about you. Oh, me.
- 1:50:05Oh, I thought you're talking about my son I was about to
- 1:50:07have. To slap you I'm talking about
- 1:50:09you how are you going to slap me across the screen man?
- 1:50:12What are we we, what are we doing here?
- 1:50:14Do we have like magical powers You can work it's.
- 1:50:17Coming soon, I was. Just going to say there'll be a
- 1:50:19button that comes out of like our computer.
- 1:50:21John was going to. John was going to have invent
- 1:50:23some dude wipes with instant teleportation to get over here.
- 1:50:26It is a slap. As long as she's using dude
- 1:50:28wipes and taking care of my 2 hole, I'm good.
- 1:50:33Dude wipes today pulled it out of my ass.
- 1:50:37By the way, I have one more observation on the football
- 1:50:40thing. I don't know about you guys.
- 1:50:42I just thought Kansas City just doesn't look that good.
- 1:50:45They're not they're not good. They're.
- 1:50:47Just not. They could sake and build it up
- 1:50:49all they wanted and they were definitely trying, but they're
- 1:50:52just not that good. They're old.
- 1:50:54And, and you can see it, Jones is not the same player as he
- 1:50:57was. And, and I think obviously the
- 1:51:00team is is getting up there in agents.
- 1:51:02Bagnola is getting up there in ages as a defensive coordinator.
- 1:51:05He was offered or he was looking at, you know, opportunities in
- 1:51:09the offseason. He was interviewing,
- 1:51:11interviewing for jobs. He didn't get one of those jobs.
- 1:51:14And now you're starting to sit there and and believe that he's
- 1:51:17probably never going to get another coaching job.
- 1:51:19He failed over there with the Saint Louis Rams and and the
- 1:51:24Giants. Well, he didn't fail.
- 1:51:26He won. He was a defensive coordinator
- 1:51:28when they won a Super Bowl. So, so it's not like he failed.
- 1:51:32I and he comes from that patent, that Eagles style of defense.
- 1:51:36So if you, if you're an Eagles fan over, you know, in the 80s
- 1:51:40and the 90s. So I, I just think that
- 1:51:43obviously when when you look at the, the particulars of new and
- 1:51:47I going back to New York sports and what really bothers me about
- 1:51:50New York sports is it does, how many coaches, how many coaches
- 1:51:53does The Jets need to bring in to get it right?
- 1:51:56How many coaches did the Giants and the Knicks?
- 1:51:57Had like the ownership ownership, The Jets, they should
- 1:52:02sell that. I think Dolan should sell the
- 1:52:05Rangers and only own one of the teams too much that the globe
- 1:52:10it's ownership. And I I'm I'm not a Dolan hater.
- 1:52:13I like Dolan. He turned a billion into 12.
- 1:52:16I mean, he's a winner to me, but it's so much to manage and you
- 1:52:21need hands on, really smart, supportive ownership.
- 1:52:26Don't don't forget the biggest thing he's a he likes to own,
- 1:52:28and that's his his band of his horrible singing voice.
- 1:52:31But it's still, I mean, that's a product.
- 1:52:33But when you look at his assets, if you're in business to make
- 1:52:37money, he's done well and the garden is a great place to watch
- 1:52:41a game. It's still load of money, but I
- 1:52:44don't, I just think it's too much.
- 1:52:46It's too much between everything going on, the Garden, the Globe,
- 1:52:49Radio City Beacon, I mean, it's just too much.
- 1:52:53And I think it's tough, tough when you don't have the
- 1:52:55ownership having his hand in things a little.
- 1:52:58Bit you know what I'm going to do?
- 1:52:59I'm going to reach out to James Dolan and I'm going to see if me
- 1:53:02and Jabba could be his backup singers.
- 1:53:03What do you think, Jabba? You think you could give me an
- 1:53:06A? Give me an.
- 1:53:07AI was on Broadway twice. Where were you, this scarecrow?
- 1:53:16No, I was with rock ages. I'm just messing with you.
- 1:53:19I'm messing with you bad. Do you save any of your game you
- 1:53:23stuff? Do you save value of it?
- 1:53:25Yeah, I got, I got a lot of it actually.
- 1:53:27Actually that this one right here is one of the ones you sent
- 1:53:30me. That's from, I think that was my
- 1:53:32sign from the last or the first think first homestand of the new
- 1:53:37stadium. I can take it off the wall it it
- 1:53:40has your handwriting on the back.
- 1:53:42That's cool. Yeah, I got all this.
- 1:53:44I'd still. And I have the seats you sent me
- 1:53:46from the old stadium too. Nice.
- 1:53:48Well, Brandon, I we've got news for you.

- 1:54:57I I have trouble reading myself but I put a lot of pictures in
- 1:55:00there. Brandon, who was I've I've I was
- 1:55:03thinking about this the other day.
- 1:55:04Somebody sent me something. Who was that idiot you bought my
- 1:55:07contract from when I was in AA? There's a guy that go.
- 1:55:10Suck on a in in. I just don't know.
- 1:55:14There was a guy that I bought Jeter's.
- 1:55:16I bought Jeter's scouting report and sold that for $350,000 and
- 1:55:23then we bought the replica rights to it.
- 1:55:24So we're just making copies of it and selling it.
- 1:55:27But we had we sold that for 350,000.
- 1:55:30Yeah, I was in. I was in AA and this dude signed
- 1:55:33me early and then once I got to the big leagues, you, but it's I
- 1:55:36think his name, he didn't last very long.
- 1:55:38He was, he was an idiot, but he paid me 100 grand off the bat
- 1:55:40and I was in. Oh, yeah, I was on.
- 1:55:42What's his name? The short little guy.
- 1:55:44Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The short little guy, Mugsy Bo,
- 1:55:48he was like the guy. He was the guy who like
- 1:55:49represented Son of Sam with some crazy shit.
- 1:55:51Yeah, I don't know, but he was like, I was in AA signing like a
- 1:55:55serial killer, signing cards and stuff at a Cracker Barrel.
- 1:55:59And this dude, I was right after the All Star game and then he's
- 1:56:02like he wants to pay you 100 grand in AA.
- 1:56:03And I was making like 315 bucks every two weeks.
- 1:56:06So I was like I. Know how that feeling now?
- 1:56:09We removed him out. On it.
- 1:56:11Oh yeah, yeah, you bought, you bought him out quick and then
- 1:56:14yeah, I was with you forever. Diarrhea down their leg.
- 1:56:17And like I said. This guy was.
- 1:56:23Well, we have a soundboard, we have a sound.
- 1:56:26His his check cleared though so I was good.
- 1:56:28Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I don't know if people
- 1:56:30realize how hard it is till you get to the big leagues playing
- 1:56:36with, it's like the playing single AA.
- 1:56:38You're in like a one bedroom with four other guys hoping that
- 1:56:42you're, you know, you're eating the food that they serve at the
- 1:56:44ballpark. That's all you could afford.
- 1:56:47I mean, it's it's it's no joke. It's a little better now, but
- 1:56:50not that much better unless you're one of these guys who
- 1:56:52came out and signed a big contract right out of the draft,
- 1:56:55which is only a few guys here and there.
- 1:56:58The difficulty and then the UPS and down.
- 1:57:00They send you down, they send you up.
- 1:57:03You know you're still paying for both places.
- 1:57:05It's really the only place. If they send you up, they only
- 1:57:08give you one week in a hotel. That's it.
- 1:57:10Then you're on your own where you're supposed to get furniture
- 1:57:12from, where you're supposed to live.
- 1:57:14People don't realize how hard it is the first few years when you
- 1:57:17come up. Which is why when guys become
- 1:57:19free agents, they want it. They want their money and they
- 1:57:22deserve it. They've earned it.
- 1:57:24It's back pay. Well, am I wrong Jabo?
- 1:57:28No, no, I mean, even when even when you go it's, it's still,
- 1:57:32it's like, OK, if you're going to a new city, it's still like
- 1:57:34tough like first of all, finding a place.
- 1:57:37OK, who where do, who do I get to, you know, find me a place
- 1:57:40that, you know, OK, I I have to have dogs and whatever.
- 1:57:44It's it's a lot like that people don't think about as a whole.
- 1:57:47And you're still trying to compete, keep your job and and
- 1:57:49move a family and, and all kind of yeah, it's you don't really
- 1:57:53think about it. I just, I just built a new house
- 1:57:56and got moved in and I'd never want to do it again.
- 1:57:59It's. Awful.
- 1:58:01Yeah, it's a lot. I'll tell you.
- 1:58:02I've been enjoying. Now, you know, I've always
- 1:58:04signed the big names and I've had many of them over the years.
- 1:58:08And I've been enjoying working with some of the younger kids.
- 1:58:11They're coming up. They need my help.
- 1:58:14And, you know, making every dollar really means something.
- 1:58:16And it's been much more enjoyable.
- 1:58:18Like with the Jaycee Escarra, Oswaldo Cabrera, I've been
- 1:58:22working with just a bunch of younger guys that just enjoy to
- 1:58:24work with and, you know, guiding them, mentoring them and showing
- 1:58:27where the money is and just gearing the, you know, all the
- 1:58:30different contexts I have. It's just.
- 1:58:33It's also, I think I think Brandon to, you've done it for
- 1:58:36so long and been with some of the biggest names.
- 1:58:38I think it's such a different energy when you have these
- 1:58:40younger kids that kind of they were kind of in limbo between
- 1:58:43like whether they came up in college or whatever.
- 1:58:46It didn't get the NIL, didn't get all the other stuff.
- 1:58:49And now it's like having these opportunities that I, I never
- 1:58:52knew about, like, you know, getting free vehicles, you know,
- 1:58:54signing events, private or public, they're two different
- 1:58:58anomalies. You don't know all these things
- 1:59:00in the insurance and outs and inscriptions and all the other
- 1:59:02stuff that ways you can make money that you never really
- 1:59:05knew. And now it's like, you know, my
- 1:59:07son's in college and has an opportunity to, to do the same
- 1:59:10thing. And it's like take advantage of
- 1:59:11these things. But what I love about it is
- 1:59:14they're so like, they're so vested in like in the fact they
- 1:59:17want to know like the whole process, not just like, hey,
- 1:59:20where's my check? Like, OK, it's two hours.
- 1:59:23I have this, this and this. It's like, hey, where is this
- 1:59:26going? You know, like, you know, the
- 1:59:28whole process of what it is and like, and continue that
- 1:59:30relationship. So I think the younger energy is
- 1:59:32really, really cool. It's great.
- 1:59:36It's great. And also the curiosity level, I
- 1:59:40try to tell the players, I know the main focus is stay on the
- 1:59:43field, get on the field, play well.
- 1:59:46And a lot of agents will tell the player that's what you got
- 1:59:48to worry about. But there comes a point in time,
- 1:59:51if you're not playing, why not at least try to get prepared for
- 1:59:54the inevitable and take advantage of the opportunity.
- 1:59:57And I try to now, you know, I've made a lot of money, I've done
- 2:00:00well. So it does to me, it doesn't
- 2:00:02matter. I I I give the guys the
- 2:00:04combination in the safe. I show them everything.
- 2:00:07I'm completely transparent. Yeah, if you ever need a part
- 2:00:09time guy to help with any of this, Brandon, I kind of know my
- 2:00:12way around these things. I do need help man I believe.
- 2:00:15In this hey, I'll be in New York soon.
- 2:00:16We'll talk business. There's a guy, used to be a
- 2:00:19former. He almost made it to the United
- 2:00:21Shows, the hockey players in New York also.
- 2:00:23I'll introduce you to him. Big guy, a lot of potential.
- 2:00:27I think he I think you have to be 511, but I think he's a
- 2:00:30little short of 511. He he uses that half an inch 510
- 2:00:351/2 I think it's. A screw you, Screw you, Jabba.
- 2:00:39Screw. Brandon for me in alley.
- 2:00:41OOP I had to done. Yeah, well, I'm, I'll be alley
- 2:00:44ooping because I missed a businessman.
- 2:00:47Anyways, Brandon, I, I I want to tell you something before I let
- 2:00:50you go. You know, a friend of mine, he's
- 2:00:52like a father figure to me, Mike Catino.
- 2:00:54So he wanted me to say hello. Oh my God, a name from the past.
- 2:00:58That's the first guy who really did a couple feature articles on
- 2:01:01me when I was. Not that I'm anybody now, but I
- 2:01:03was definitely nobody then. And he put me on the cover.
- 2:01:06First cover. Mike Catino, he's on the cover.
- 2:01:08He wanted to link me up with you.
- 2:01:09So what? We'll talk.
- 2:01:10I love that guy. He's got a heart of gold.
- 2:01:12He does. He's a great person.
- 2:01:14He's a great person. Relentless.
- 2:01:16Yes, he's absolutely relentless. Yeah.
- 2:01:19He almost said hello. Really enjoy this show.
- 2:01:21Love what you guys are doing. The word is out on the street,
- 2:01:24by the way, about your show. So it's a really, you know, not
- 2:01:27easy to promote these these shows, but your name has cracked
- 2:01:32through many times. I've heard it through
- 2:01:34conversations and this and that. So keep up the good work put in
- 2:01:38the chat. You know, Adm for me, it's like
- 2:01:41if anybody wants a book that's listening, I'm happy to send you
- 2:01:44gotta have balls. I just did a one year ride along
- 2:01:47with NYPD, spending a year with the NYPD police trying to
- 2:01:51understand what's going on with urban policing.
- 2:01:53And then I've written two other books, just all business books
- 2:01:55other than the police book. So if you're an entrepreneur,
- 2:01:58salesperson you love, you got to have balls or living on purpose.
- 2:02:01Well, Java doesn't have any balls, so maybe he should get
- 2:02:04the book. I get the audio version.
- 2:02:10Thanks for having me though. I appreciate it man, really, and
- 2:02:14hopefully we'll do it again. Come November 17th to Carmines,
- 2:02:17come and hang out with us. All right, I'm going to try to
- 2:02:20make it. It'll be a lot of fun.
- 2:02:22Anyways, Brandon, we really appreciate.
- 2:02:23It keep up the good work. Thank you.
- 2:02:25Good to see you, Brandon. It's been a mile.
- 2:02:27Great to see you guys. Thanks Java.
- 2:02:28Appreciate you. Love you.
- 2:02:30Brandon Steiner, ladies and gentlemen, former CEO of Steiner
- 2:02:34Sports and now he runs Collectible Exchange and the
- 2:02:39Steiner Agency. So look at that Java.
- 2:02:41We're making headway as we. What about Skidmore?
- 2:02:45Or. I got the bubble guts.
- 2:02:47I definitely got the bubble guts.
- 2:02:49I I want to tell everybody something.
- 2:02:51Like them through the skid mark soundboard on there?
- 2:02:53Well, yeah, so I'll tell you guys, before this show I made
- 2:02:58macaroni and cheese because I I needed some kind of carbs
- 2:03:01because I haven't had any today. What kind?
- 2:03:03What kind? Macaron Kraft.
- 2:03:05OK. I was, well, that's where I was
- 2:03:07going. I was like Velveeta sales and
- 2:03:08teas. No, no, no, I make craft and I
- 2:03:11actually make a really good speedy.
- 2:03:12How good is my macaroni and cheese?
- 2:03:14I make a really good macaroni, so I made Mac and cheese.
- 2:03:16So anytime I have Mac and cheese it gives me the bubble guts so
- 2:03:21it I. Do you do you, do you fancy up
- 2:03:25your Mac and cheese or you just. Yeah, I put cheese.
- 2:03:27No, I put cheese in it. I heat up cheese and I put it on
- 2:03:29top of it. I melt it on top of it.
- 2:03:32So yeah, I do it differently. You don't bake it.
- 2:03:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:03:38I'm not. I'm not one of those guys.
- 2:03:40That that's the Nebraska way. We're the New Yorkers.
- 2:03:42We like to do it, you know. Nebraska Wait, no, it's not
- 2:03:47good. Mac and cheese.
- 2:03:48You should almost break your spoon.
- 2:03:50It should be real thick and you should be.
- 2:03:51There should be. You should hit it and it should
- 2:03:53be crusty. You know what?
- 2:03:54We should call Java. His nickname should be Mr. Big
- 2:03:56Mac. That's what we should call him.
- 2:03:59I've never had a Big Mac in my life.
- 2:04:00No, I've just called. Obviously I just.
- 2:04:03Could. I don't want that middle bun,
- 2:04:05I'm not into that. Nobody wants that middle bunk.
- 2:04:08Scoops had a Big Mac today. I did.
- 2:04:11I'm a Big Mac enjoyer. I like a Big Mac here and there.
- 2:04:13I know fish might not like the little bun, but hey, I just got
- 2:04:16to say like that middle bun. It just looks weird, but that's
- 2:04:18what makes it a good Big Mac. That's true.
- 2:04:20Well, I want to give a shout out to Brandon Stotted for joining
- 2:04:23us. He was sensational.
- 2:04:24He really was. And we had a lot of fun with
- 2:04:26him. And maybe he comes November
- 2:04:2817th. It'll be it'll be a cool, cool
- 2:04:30opportunity. We'll have a lot of athletes
- 2:04:33hopefully to come down and sit with us and we'll we'll be doing
- 2:04:36some giveaways and having fun with the fans.
- 2:04:39And I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy some of the content
- 2:04:43that we're going to dish out to you guys.
- 2:04:44If you like this show, which most people that have seen it
- 2:04:48and checked it out thinks it's one of the best shows, you guys
- 2:04:51are going to laugh in person because I don't know what we're
- 2:04:54going to do. So it's it's one of those, but
- 2:04:57we have to be polite because there might be kids there and
- 2:05:01and stuff like that. But we'll definitely have fun
- 2:05:03with the kids. So definitely come down November
- 2:05:0617th, Carmine's Midtown Manhattan, we will be there
- 2:05:12promoting Jabba in the mouth. So there you go.
- 2:05:16Let's go. Let's go for it.
- 2:05:17Save your tears. Mom, what's one thing that you
- 2:05:21can't talk to me about? My sexual fantasies.
- 2:05:26Say your sorry. This is not ideal, but if it's
- 2:05:28what means, it is not ideal. But if it's just not ideal, but
- 2:05:31if it is, what means? You can't treble stamp a double
- 2:05:34stamp. You can't treble stamp a double
- 2:05:35stamp Lord. You can't dribble stamp a double
- 2:05:37stamp. Lord you.
- 2:05:41Guys, it's time for save your tear.
- 2:05:46He tastes himself right, everybody.
- 2:05:52Here we go with the savior tears.
- 2:05:54Results. I hope not.
- 2:05:56Nine of the NFL season wait for this one.
- 2:06:00This is the compliment chorus again.
- 2:06:02The winner gets compliments from every loser. 51% of those
- 2:06:07compliments must be genuine. Cannot be.
- 2:06:09That's good. So here we go.
- 2:06:13There's a very competitive battle.
- 2:06:15Here's the board. But the winner and there could
- 2:06:19only be one. Just like in Highlander.
- 2:06:23Joey Beg winner is Speedy. Speedy with a runaway win.
- 2:06:28Almost by 25 points over the 2nd place.
- 2:06:34Not even really much of A contest.
- 2:06:36What a what a performance by Speedy.
- 2:06:38We'll compliment him shortly. But Speedy did have the top
- 2:06:41receiver scorer, the top tight end scorer, top quarterback
- 2:06:46scorer, top running back scorer to this runaway victory in
- 2:06:50second place. Tommy poops.
- 2:06:51Always the bridesmaid, sometimes the bridesmaid, recently not.
- 2:06:56And then Jabba with a cool 69 points on the nose in 3rd place.
- 2:07:05Smell my ass. So, as always, we will go
- 2:07:09through the compliment chorus with the last.
- 2:07:12My Indo. Going first, today's last place
- 2:07:15finisher was Nathan. Scoop sits on the sitter give.

- 2:08:29Your favorite team? My favorite team.
- 2:08:32It's it's really kind of a brotherhood that you can only
- 2:08:36understand through shared suffering and incompetence and
- 2:08:40just quizzical decision making from the top on down for
- 2:08:45generations. But not you, Speedy.
- 2:08:47You were confident, you made streamline choices, Mario, you
- 2:08:52looked at the analytics and you then used your gut.
- 2:08:55You use both of it. That's why you're number one.
- 2:08:59That's why you want to save your tears.
- 2:09:02Willy whoppers. Speedy Willy whoppers.
- 2:09:06All right. Next is Errol Martins.
- 2:09:11Do I have to really go? You can't cry about Errol.
- 2:09:17You got to save your tears. Speedy, you have one of the
- 2:09:22hairiest bunnies. Whatever 50. 1% positive.
- 2:09:29Some people may call that positive though, so I mean.
- 2:09:33That's kind of in the middle. All right, All right, I'll be.
- 2:09:37I'll be serious, though. I'll be serious, Speedy, you
- 2:09:40know I love you. You're like a little brother to
- 2:09:41me. Sometimes you can get on my
- 2:09:43nerves, but nevertheless, your analytics, your personality,
- 2:09:47your your spirit for jopping a mouth and really the back.
- 2:09:51Really you've been the backbone of everything that I've done
- 2:09:54over the last couple of years. I've leaned towards you, not
- 2:09:58lean backwards, only forwards. I.
- 2:10:02Hope you won't lean. Backwards.
- 2:10:04But you know, you've been you've been everything that I needed as
- 2:10:08as a right hand person, I just make sure you keep your right
- 2:10:12hand away from me. But I.
- 2:10:13I'll be sure of that. I I appreciate everything that
- 2:10:17you do every single day and you know, you know how I feel about
- 2:10:21you so. All right, that was at least
- 2:10:2551%. I'll give it to you on that one.
- 2:10:28Jared actually is injured at practice, so he is not here
- 2:10:36tonight. He sends his best.
- 2:10:38I love to give you a compliment later, Speedy.
- 2:10:41Poor back Reno. Johnny is not here tonight as
- 2:10:44well. Go if you can't get that.
- 2:10:46Compliment from him on layaway, but now we're up to our third
- 2:10:50place finish. Here Soccer.
- 2:10:53Mr. Java Chamberlain. Oh, Speedy, of course.
- 2:10:58The analytical one himself. Like I said, you're gonna start.
- 2:11:02Once you start winning, it seems like they just keep building and
- 2:11:05building. And the jerks off.
- 2:11:07With and the juju just keeps coming back to you.
- 2:11:10I need to I need to definitely have you go before me next week
- 2:11:13so I can actually not be in the do you know the rival party can
- 2:11:19win and maybe take. Oh, don't worry, everyone's
- 2:11:21gonna have a different order next week.
- 2:11:23Our next? Yeah, I know there's two weeks
- 2:11:25in a row. So I said as soon as you win,
- 2:11:28how about it's gonna, it's gonna keep happening.
- 2:11:30So I guess I'm going to have to wait and try and dethrone you.
- 2:11:33But as we've seen, that probably is not going to happen.
- 2:11:36So Speedy, you are the man. Freaking daily lives.
- 2:11:41All right. And we only got 1 left.
- 2:11:42That's our silver medalist. Tommy poop.
- 2:11:45So let me ask before let me ask before what is it?
- 2:11:49I get my compliments, but has anybody won back-to-back yet for
- 2:11:52savior tears? Nathan.
- 2:11:53Danny, this season is Nathan done.
- 2:11:57OK, gotcha. I was going to say I thought you
- 2:11:59were the first to do it, Speedy, but hey, you're the second to do
- 2:12:01it. So your name is also alongside
- 2:12:03Nathan in those history books for this show as much more as it
- 2:12:06is already is for you being the man on this show, Speedy, like
- 2:12:09we all said, we're not really surprised because you are just
- 2:12:12really the man when it comes to analytics, not me.
- 2:12:14When it comes to picking players fantasy wise.
- 2:12:17I know I'm always talking your head off a fantasy question.
- 2:12:19I don't care. Always after the show, always
- 2:12:21before the show. So Speedy, man, you're the
- 2:12:23absolute. Joy.
- 2:12:25Back-to-back weeks, you know, like I said, we're not really
- 2:12:27surprised. And hey man, enjoy this.
- 2:12:29Back-to-back enjoy this this. 99%.
- 2:12:32Enjoy the crown having it for two weeks.
- 2:12:33You know, so there we go. Not as good as sniff and slap,
- 2:12:38but I'll take it. Speedy, congratulations one more
- 2:12:41time. We'll be back next episode for
- 2:12:43week 10s. Save your tears.
- 2:12:48Yeah, oh, man. All right, Speedy Stat of the
- 2:12:50week. The Speedy you may run like May
- 2:12:56but you hit like start of the week.
- 2:13:02Finkel is on horn now this That will not be on the Miami
- 2:13:07Dolphins this week because they don't deserve any stats
- 2:13:10worthwhile. Let's go into one of their AFC
- 2:13:13East division rivals and I'm going to allude to how good
- 2:13:16their defensive line was this week against the Chiefs
- 2:13:20offensive line and that is the Buffalo Bills.
- 2:13:22So the Buffalo Bills pressured Patrick Mahomes on 52.6% of his
- 2:13:27drop backs, which is 3014.3% more than any of their ever any
- 2:13:32of their matchups in the last five years. 9 total from Greg
- 2:13:36Rousseau which is the third most in his career.
- 2:13:39Just to put it in perspective, how good the Chiefs offensive
- 2:13:41line was coming into this game, they had three players of the
- 2:13:43top three at their positions at QB pressure rate and they're
- 2:13:46two, Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith, high paid offensive
- 2:13:49lineman, didn't allow a sack coming into this game.
- 2:13:52Patrick Mahomes just three of 16 passing for 61 yards in
- 2:13:55interception when he was passing under pressure, and it's the
- 2:13:58first time in his career Patrick Mahomes had a completion
- 2:14:01percentage less than 50%, just 44.1% in that game.
- 2:14:08Patrick. Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes has an
- 2:14:10opportunity to possibly meet up with Josh Allen in the playoffs
- 2:14:15again. But both teams are making the
- 2:14:16playoffs. I expect them to both compete
- 2:14:19and, and we knew this was going to happen.
- 2:14:21We all picked Buffalo to win, did we not?
- 2:14:23Every one of us picked Buffalo to win so.
- 2:14:27And let's start right there, Errol, with everyone knows it,
- 2:14:32affectionately known as. The whip around.
- 2:14:35Oh my God. The whip, whip, whip around.
- 2:14:41Can't wait. All right, like we said, we're
- 2:14:46starting right there with the marquee matchup of the week, the
- 2:14:48Bills 28, Chiefs 21. You set it.
- 2:14:52Mahomes inefficient below 50%, quarterback rating 57.2 Kareem
- 2:14:58Hunt had a touchdown on the ground.
- 2:15:00So did Rashi Rice, rushy Rice 80 yards catch receiving golfing.
- 2:15:05Kincaid was the big receiver of the game, 101 yards through the
- 2:15:08air and one touchdown. Who is playing around with the
- 2:15:14camera all right? And then James Cook again,
- 2:15:17another 100 yard games, having one of the best seasons of any
- 2:15:20running back in the league after he signed that contract in the
- 2:15:23preseason. Josh Allen pretty efficient, 23
- 2:15:25of 26273 and a touchdown with two touchdowns on the ground.
- 2:15:33Errol. Josh, Josh Allen has to be
- 2:15:36consistent like this. If he plays like this, Buffalo
- 2:15:39is going to have a chance to win.
- 2:15:40Cook is is one of the better running backs in the league.
- 2:15:43He was kind of being the shadow of his brother Dalvin, and now
- 2:15:47all of a sudden he's taking off. And remember, this guy was a
- 2:15:50third or fourth round pick. I think that this kid has the
- 2:15:54ability to find ways to find the seam and we've seen them all
- 2:15:58season long really explode right off the paper.
- 2:16:00I expect them to continue this run and and being one of the
- 2:16:04elite running backs in the league again, I worry about this
- 2:16:08defense. I don't know if they're going to
- 2:16:09be a run stopping team all season long.
- 2:16:12They lost Oliver for the season. Now they've added they're
- 2:16:16getting more healthy and we'll see how this works.
- 2:16:19What worries me about the Kansas City Chiefs right now is not
- 2:16:23Patrick Mahomes. It's this offensive line.
- 2:16:26This offensive line that everybody said, oh, Simmons,
- 2:16:29this is a good young kid and this is this offensive line is
- 2:16:32going to be a little bit better with the youth that they added
- 2:16:34to the line. They've been a shell of
- 2:16:36themselves over the last couple of weeks and you could see that
- 2:16:40even though they're putting up in their winning and everybody
- 2:16:42says, well, look, they're back to the normal selves.
- 2:16:45They're not back to their normal selves.
- 2:16:47If you look at this this this team, there's so many
- 2:16:50deficiencies and that secondary, I mean, besides Mcduffie, right?
- 2:16:55It was Mcduffie. He's the only one.
- 2:16:58That secondary sucks. There's nothing good about this
- 2:17:01team. If you're a Kansas City Chief
- 2:17:03fan, you can't expect this team to be an elite team or a
- 2:17:06contender. But if they meet Buffalo in the
- 2:17:09playoffs, they know each other very, very well.
- 2:17:11Patrick and and obviously Josh Allen know each other and
- 2:17:14they're going to play very, very hard against one another.
- 2:17:16So I expected to be a very good game, no matter how bad or how
- 2:17:20inefficient both teams could be in certain.
- 2:17:23I'll go some other credit to the Bills, their secondary with some
- 2:17:27of the youngsters, they started in the first round pick.
- 2:17:29Harrison got his I think second start in that game.
- 2:17:31They had a couple backup safeties in the game that I
- 2:17:33think played very well. You saw the ball skills really
- 2:17:35being there And I think on the and the Bills I think also with
- 2:17:39their secondary receivers. Finally, you're getting it
- 2:17:41going. You meant you're right, Errol.
- 2:17:41The Chief secondary depth is not what it used to be.
- 2:17:43But they usually like, like I said, the Packers receivers,
- 2:17:46they usually have one guy that emerges in a span of like two or
- 2:17:49three games and they don't have that this.
- 2:17:50Year and what's going on with rice?
- 2:17:52I mean, this guy comes back two weeks, you expect them to
- 2:17:55explode right off the paper. Everybody says this is going to
- 2:17:58be a different Kansas City offense.
- 2:18:00I don't know. Rice is taking a lot of the, you
- 2:18:04know, a lot of the looks away from the other guys that were
- 2:18:06playing highly well and now all of a sudden this team is not as
- 2:18:10explosive with Rice. They're more better without
- 2:18:14them. That's what I said I was.
- 2:18:15Actually just going to get to that as my next point.
- 2:18:17He didn't get a target in the second-half until 7 minutes to
- 2:18:19go in the fourth quarter. Which when you're down in the
- 2:18:22game to a team like the Bills, you can't afford to like, play
- 2:18:24games with that kind. Of should have never started.
- 2:18:26And the last take away is the Chiefs.
- 2:18:27You badly need a running back of the trade deadline.
- 2:18:29Whatever you're doing right now is not working.
- 2:18:31It's not going to be Bruce Hall, ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:18:34He's not going to Kansas City, I'm telling.
- 2:18:36Yeah, I mean, you guys kind of covered it.
- 2:18:38It's it's always interesting. There's always something that
- 2:18:40happens in a Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes game.
- 2:18:43I was, I was wondering what was going to happen with the offense
- 2:18:46when she, Rashe Rice came back. And I didn't think it was going
- 2:18:48to go this way. I mean, obviously he's he's
- 2:18:50played well, but I think it's kind of been a detriment to the
- 2:18:53offense as a whole. But like we talked about
- 2:18:56earlier, I think they're just getting older and it's kind of
- 2:18:59showing. And you know, Josh Allen's a
- 2:19:01stud too. And you know, the way, the way
- 2:19:03they can run the ball too and then open up the field is has
- 2:19:06been pretty good against the Chiefs.
- 2:19:07So I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if you
- 2:19:10you see him again though. I don't know if you guys heard
- 2:19:13his interview at ESPN, I don't want to say it, but it was so
- 2:19:16interesting about how he feels being married now and how he
- 2:19:20sees himself as a young man a young quarter back that's trying
- 2:19:24to figure out how to get to the Super Bowl.
- 2:19:26And he says I won't. I won't be in the big time until
- 2:19:30I get to that position where I have a chance to win a chip.
- 2:19:33And until that happens, I feel that I'm at loss where I am and,
- 2:19:37and in the position I'm in as a star quarterback in this league.
- 2:19:41I think he he knows without a championship, he's never going
- 2:19:43to be considered an elite quarterback or even amongst the
- 2:19:48greatest quarterbacks of all time, and he needs to win that
- 2:19:51chip. So that was he.
- 2:19:52Did have a dope Halloween costume though.
- 2:19:54Yeah, he did. So did his.
- 2:19:55So did his wife. Vicki Galancourt was even, I
- 2:19:58mean hers. And then then the sign was just
- 2:20:01the, I mean, the icing on it, it was that was awesome.
- 2:20:05Yeah. Pretty strong.
- 2:20:08Not from very pretty strong to not so strong. 49ers 34, Giants
- 2:20:1324. 49ers go to six and three behind the great Christian
- 2:20:17McCaffrey. 28 carries, 106 yards and a touchdown on the ground. 5
- 2:20:21catches, 67 yards and a touchdown through the air.
- 2:20:25Juan Jennings had a touchdown. Backup running back Brian
- 2:20:28Robinson junior from used to be on Washington. 5 carries, 53
- 2:20:32yards and a touchdown. 49ers could just do whatever they
- 2:20:35wanted against that Giants defense all day.
- 2:20:39For the Giants, Jackson Dart had another good game in the loss.
- 2:20:432430 Three, 191, two touchdowns, 8 carries, 56 yards on the
- 2:20:47ground and a touchdown. He seems to be a pretty darn
- 2:20:51good quarterback. He's gotten no help.
- 2:20:53Darius Sladen, with another key drop in the game, had the most
- 2:20:57receiving yards. 5 catches, 62 Wandell Robinson gets all the
- 2:21:01short catches. That's pretty much it.
- 2:21:04Theo Johnson got another touchdown at the tight end
- 2:21:06position. Errol, the Giants defense is an
- 2:21:11atrocity and we, we know that, you know, they've got all these
- 2:21:16names in the front 7. I don't know if you could name a
- 2:21:19single guy in the back of the secondary left healthy that's
- 2:21:23worth playing in the NFL anymore.
- 2:21:25Well, I wrote a story over the weekend about Carl Banks in the
- 2:21:30Dexter Lawrence beef and you can see why Carl Banks came out and
- 2:21:34and said that these guys don't have any heart.
- 2:21:37And, and I'm not saying I think Dexter Lawrence is not healthy.
- 2:21:40And I think that's the problem. Sexy Dexy has not been the same
- 2:21:43player as he was last year and the year before.
- 2:21:46And I think it has a lot to do with injury.
- 2:21:48And I think he's just playing and he's fighting this, but it's
- 2:21:51been an atrocity. And, and, and really, the
- 2:21:54secondary is just nowhere to be found.
- 2:21:56And, and yeah, Jackson Dart looks good, but what is it going
- 2:22:00to take for him to get injured? I mean, the guy is always
- 2:22:02running outside of the pocket trying to use his legs.
- 2:22:05This guy needs to stand in the pocket and make throws.
- 2:22:07If he continues to do this, he's going to put himself in the.
- 2:22:11Box right? Yeah, he's going to get hurt
- 2:22:12just like Scataboo because KATAPU plays one way and when
- 2:22:16you play one way it doesn't work.
- 2:22:18And I've heard a lot of quarterbacks come out.
- 2:22:20Eli Manning said it on the Manning cap or what I think the
- 2:22:23the Manning Go Show. He said that I like what I like
- 2:22:27what Jackson Dart does. I like everything about him.
- 2:22:30I like the way he plays. But he says it doesn't work in
- 2:22:33the NFL. It's never going to last in the
- 2:22:35NFL the way he is playing. If he doesn't figure out how to
- 2:22:38stand in the pocket and make those throws and he depends too
- 2:22:41much on his legs, it's going to come back and haunt him.
- 2:22:44So I know you love him and I like his personality, but it
- 2:22:48doesn't work in the NFL. Ask Justin, ask Justin Fields,
- 2:22:52ask Lamar Jackson. When he came into the league, he
- 2:22:54needed to figure it out and he needed to figure out how to
- 2:22:57complete pass. Is if he doesn't figure that out
- 2:22:59and soon he's going to be on the IR and he might never really
- 2:23:04achieve what everybody thinks he could achieve.
- 2:23:06So yeah, there's enough sample size now with these semi mobile
- 2:23:09or mobile quarterbacks that don't know how to slide right
- 2:23:11away. I worried about that kind of
- 2:23:12thing with Bo Nicks early in his career because when he was at
- 2:23:14Auburn, anyone who was at Oregon, he would be sometimes
- 2:23:16playing reckless, running very goofy.
- 2:23:18And Jackson Dart had some of those traits at the end of his
- 2:23:21career at Ole Miss, too. He cannot keep playing like
- 2:23:23that. He's got to learn to slide.
- 2:23:24He's got to learn how to throw it away if he's trying to throw
- 2:23:26on the run and extend it. Because, yeah, let's face it,
- 2:23:28the Giants are not going to go anywhere with this wide
- 2:23:30receiving core as it is. So you want to have other traits
- 2:23:32in his development that are learned.
- 2:23:34Winning games is not the important thing for him that
- 2:23:36right now because they're not going anywhere.
- 2:23:38And this coaching staff is not going to go anywhere.
- 2:23:39So Dart has to develop. He's got to learn those kinds of
- 2:23:41things now before he gets hurt, like your guys are saying.
- 2:23:44Yeah. Do you think it's too like when
- 2:23:46you're a player like that and we we've seen players like that
- 2:23:48before Mark Sanchez, Joe Girardi had to teach him how to slide.
- 2:23:52Do you do you think it's hard like when you have that
- 2:23:55mentality and that's how they played and now coming obviously
- 2:23:58a step above, like, do you think it's hard for them to to reel it
- 2:24:01back to understand that like you can't run for your life?
- 2:24:05Like this is a different level of football.
- 2:24:08Obviously we all know the Mark Sanchez story and and it didn't
- 2:24:11help. By the way, Joe Girardi went not
- 2:24:13once but twice and it didn't help.
- 2:24:15I. Was there?
- 2:24:16I know if you would have seen him try to slide, like he did it
- 2:24:19once at the stadium and then he did it once Joe went to
- 2:24:24practice, if you would have seen him slide, you'd have literally
- 2:24:27like that. There's no way this dude's a
- 2:24:28starting quarterback. And like he looked the most
- 2:24:30unathletic I've ever seen. Yeah, I, I, I don't know.
- 2:24:34If Jackson dot doesn't figure this out, he's going to get
- 2:24:37hurt. And you can see it.
- 2:24:39Quarterbacks look at look at the way Drake May plays.
- 2:24:42OK, Drake May is the that prototypical quarterback that
- 2:24:46you you like to watch. Why?
- 2:24:48Because he steps into the pocket, he makes the throw and
- 2:24:51then when he needs and he gives it, he gets a lane, he runs and
- 2:24:53he slides. As soon as he sees somebody, a
- 2:24:55linebacker, come at him, he's on the ground and he slides.
- 2:24:59Alex, remember Alex Smith? Alex Smith was the king of doing
- 2:25:03that. He, he, it really didn't change
- 2:25:05until Jim Harbaugh went there and Jim Harbaugh said you need
- 2:25:09to slide because you see Alex Smith, he would try to get the
- 2:25:12extra 5 or 6 yards. Jackson Dart needs to stop doing
- 2:25:15that. If he continuously keeps doing
- 2:25:17that, he's going to get hurt. He's going to be at a
- 2:25:20significant amount of time. It might not be the quarterback
- 2:25:22that we think he could be. So here's the problem.
- 2:25:25It's not scrambles. They're designing runs for him
- 2:25:29to run in in the red zone and I'm just sitting there like
- 2:25:32you're losing by 21 points, why are we doing you're not going
- 2:25:35back run in the third quarter of a game that you're not winning
- 2:25:41with the franchise quarterback. It's the same thing that we'll
- 2:25:44talk about at the end of the whip around with Jaden Daniels
- 2:25:47having his arm turned inside out in a game that was over doing
- 2:25:52some kind of quarterback run for no goddamn reason when the game
- 2:25:56was over. It's just madness.
- 2:25:57I hope the Giants aren't that stupid, but you know, history
- 2:26:01and what I see may dictate otherwise.
- 2:26:03Let's go to the next set of games.
- 2:26:05We'll start with the Thursday game real quick.
- 2:26:07We've already, you know, seen it.
- 2:26:08The Ravens all over the Dolphins.
- 2:26:09Not much to say. Lamar Jackson was back. 4
- 2:26:13touchdowns, 200. Yards might save John Harpo's
- 2:26:15job, by the way. Yeah.
- 2:26:17Well, I mean, the Dolphins are kind of garbage.
- 2:26:20They fired their GM after the game.
- 2:26:21The Vikings 27, the Lions 24. This was an.
- 2:26:25Surprise. Football game, pretty big
- 2:26:28surprise, but for a lot of people, JJ McCarthy, in his
- 2:26:31return to the starting lineup, gets a big win over the Lions,
- 2:26:35kind of keeps their season going, gets them only a game
- 2:26:37behind Detroit. J JS demented.
- 2:26:39Did you see the afterwards when they gave him the game ball?
- 2:26:42Like the dude was in a trance, like he was not in like in this
- 2:26:46realm, he was somewhere else. Different, huh?
- 2:26:48Oh my gosh, dude. It was crazy when I was like,
- 2:26:51whoa, this dude is on it. So he's he's different.
- 2:26:55You know, a lot of big, big plays in that game.
- 2:26:58Justin Jefferson had a receiving touchdown, so did TJ Hawkinson,
- 2:27:01but nothing crazy stats wise over there for the Vikings.
- 2:27:04Laporta 97 yards in a touchdown. He's starting to pick up his
- 2:27:08game. Another 97 yards as well.
- 2:27:10Laporta is stepping it up. Really nothing doing on the
- 2:27:13ground. That was the story in this game.
- 2:27:16The Vikings completely shut down the running attack. 65 total
- 2:27:19yards for combined for Montgomery and Gibbs.
- 2:27:22Gibbs only 25 yards on 9 carries in this one.
- 2:27:25Here's the honest honesty here. JJ McCarthy was not good in that
- 2:27:29game. 14 completed passes, 143 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1
- 2:27:34interceptions. He was sacked five times.
- 2:27:36He didn't have a big day, OK? And anybody that thinks he did
- 2:27:40what? I see the difference of this off
- 2:27:42offense now is Aaron Jones is back and if Aaron Jones is 100%
- 2:27:47and he can run the ball and that opens up the field for JJ
- 2:27:50McCarthy, you will see why. JJ McCarthy was special when he
- 2:27:55was coming out of the draft. He can run, he can throw on the
- 2:27:58run. We heard Jim Harbaugh say very
- 2:28:01highly, great things about him. The thing is, my surprise is the
- 2:28:05Lions, I do not know what's going on with this team.
- 2:28:08I really don't. And it's not because of Jared
- 2:28:11Goff because he had a big day. He was 25 for 37200 and 8884
- 2:28:15yards, 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, but he was sacked
- 2:28:17five times. His quarterback rating was
- 2:28:19108.4, which is what you want a starting quarterback in an elite
- 2:28:23quarterback to do. The problem with them is they're
- 2:28:27running game. It's inconsistent.
- 2:28:29This could be an elite running game one week and a crappy
- 2:28:33running game the next. If they don't have that elite
- 2:28:36running, there's no way that this offense could really be at
- 2:28:40the top of its game. Think about it this, think about
- 2:28:43it this way. David Montgomery had 11
- 2:28:45attempts, 11 attempts. He had one touchdown, 40 rushing
- 2:28:49yards. Jameer Gibbs, who I believe is
- 2:28:52one of the most explosive running backs in the league as
- 2:28:55far as catching a ball and running the ball. 9 attempts for
- 2:28:5925 yards, that is not going to get it done.
- 2:29:03That's why the Lions won this game.
- 2:29:05Lost this game. If they could run the ball,
- 2:29:07there's no way Minnesota keeps up with this team.
- 2:29:09JJ McCarthy was cropping the game so.
- 2:29:12Yeah, this. I think this is the first game
- 2:29:13you really saw the Lions miss Frank Ragnow, who's missed the
- 2:29:16whole season. They also lost another interior
- 2:29:18offensive lineman, one of the rookies in the game in
- 2:29:20Minnesota. That's why you make those trades
- 2:29:21for Hargrave and Jonathan Allen to beef up that interior
- 2:29:24defensive line. The Lions, I think if you can
- 2:29:27beat them on the interior, usually you beat teams on the
- 2:29:29edge, you could usually do well. It's the opposite with the
- 2:29:31lines, like if you could beat them on the interior.
- 2:29:32Golf struggles with interior pressure.
- 2:29:34You see the results and I talked about the Bills high pressure
- 2:29:36rate. The Vikings, I think we're about
- 2:29:3744% too, which is insane considering the level of
- 2:29:40offensive line the Lions played against.
- 2:29:43Yeah, no, obviously I became a pseudo Vikings fan, like I said,
- 2:29:46and we were talking about this. It's like the first time that
- 2:29:49online stepped up and yeah, and JJ wasn't great.
- 2:29:52So it's it's it's funny how definitely didn't expect that
- 2:29:55ending the way and especially the stop on the ground the way
- 2:29:59they did. I mean, that was that was the
- 2:30:01game in itself. Why are you a sudo Vikings fan
- 2:30:04the other day of the most Nebraska players?
- 2:30:06No one of Carter's best friends that they grew up with his dad.
- 2:30:10He's a like he's a true sports guy because his baseball team's
- 2:30:14the Orioles and has been ever since I've known him and the
- 2:30:16boys. We literally grew up together.
- 2:30:18So for the last almost shoot 20 years and he's a Vikings fan.
- 2:30:24So it's I was like, it's the most random things ever.
- 2:30:27So then I was like I didn't have a pro team, just guys that I
- 2:30:30knew that played. So I became a pseudo Vikings.
- 2:30:35Fan all right? So.
- 2:30:37Pete Pseudo Pete Bursica. Loved that.
- 2:30:39That's about it. Yeah, we gotta get Pete back on.
- 2:30:42So here's the next set of games. This one was a real surprise.
- 2:30:47The Panthers 16, Packers 13 in Lambeau.
- 2:30:52The Panthers are five and four on the season.
- 2:30:55Story was Rico Dowdle, former Cowboy, 25 carries, 130 yards, 2
- 2:31:01touchdowns on the ground. Jordan Love and you know, I
- 2:31:06always say this about him, he has games like this where it's
- 2:31:08just what are we doing here? Just doesn't really seem to make
- 2:31:12really logical decisions with the ball at times. 26 of 37273
- 2:31:17and a pick. The chargers 27 Titans 20 Titans
- 2:31:21got out to an early lead in this one.
- 2:31:23It was only a matter of time. The Chargers pretty much took
- 2:31:26that back control, and we're in control most of the way in that
- 2:31:29one. Justin Herbert another big game.
- 2:31:3219 of 29252 touchdowns, 9 carries, 57 yards and a TD on
- 2:31:38the ground. Yeah, I, I the Carolina game was
- 2:31:41shocking to me. It really was.
- 2:31:44And it wasn't because of Bryce Young, because he was
- 2:31:45horrendous. He had 11 completions for 102
- 2:31:49yards and one interceptions, one interception.
- 2:31:51He had no touchdown passing. He was getting he was horrible.
- 2:31:54But there Canalis is running his offense through Dowdell and you
- 2:31:58could see that this is a completely different offense
- 2:32:01when this guy is running on all cylinders.
- 2:32:04If you look at the last four weeks, this guy is been one of
- 2:32:07the more complete running backs in all of the NFL.
- 2:32:10He catch the ball, he runs the ball, he's dominant.
- 2:32:14And, and you can see the difference in and by the way,
- 2:32:16this Green Bay Packer defense that is explosive and we see and
- 2:32:20everybody compares this to be one of the elite defenses in the
- 2:32:23league. Boy, oh boy.
- 2:32:25When it comes down to bad teams, they do not show up against
- 2:32:29teams that they're much better than.
- 2:32:31And by the way, and I, I love Jordan Love.
- 2:32:34I I think Jordan Love is, is a good quarterback and, and I know
- 2:32:38everybody looks at him and he says, well, he put up to 73, he
- 2:32:42had no touchdown passes and he had one interception.
- 2:32:45That's not getting done, getting it done.
- 2:32:47Your quarterback rating is at 80.1.
- 2:32:49You're supposed to be an elite quarterback.
- 2:32:51The only thing that really stands out to me with this
- 2:32:53offense is Jacobs. I I mean, when this guy is
- 2:32:57playing, he's going to keep you in the game.
- 2:32:59They have, they spread out their offense.
- 2:33:01They miss Reed when Jaden Reed comes back.
- 2:33:05This is a completely different offense.
- 2:33:07They lost him in week one against the Cowboys.
- 2:33:09They have not been as explosive as we thought they were going to
- 2:33:12be. I'm telling you, Reed and losing
- 2:33:15Reed is a big loss as far as the charge is concerned.
- 2:33:19The big loss here is alt now. They lost their two starting
- 2:33:23tackles. I don't know what Justin Herbert
- 2:33:26needs to do to prove himself anymore because he's still doing
- 2:33:29it without two of his best tackles.
- 2:33:32His whole offensive line is down.
- 2:33:34But Kai Beck, they can't stay healthy.
- 2:33:36I mean, this is just a horrible situation and Jim Hardball still
- 2:33:40finds a way to win. He's six and three.
- 2:33:43And and and I'm telling you, if nobody thinks Justin Herbert
- 2:33:47just deserves any kind of MVP conversation, back and forth
- 2:33:52conversation, then you don't know football.
- 2:33:53This guy is doing it and he's doing with less with the
- 2:33:57offensive line. He's running the ball, he's
- 2:34:00running, he's rushing touchdowns and he's opening up the he's
- 2:34:05opening up his wide receiving. You know, his right, his right
- 2:34:08wide receiving talent. There's really nothing out
- 2:34:11there. He's got a young, I think a
- 2:34:13young tight end that looks like he's going to be good.
- 2:34:16And he has Mcconkey. I don't trust anybody else.
- 2:34:19Even Keenan Allen is old. He has played well, but he he's
- 2:34:22been old. You know, he looks old.
- 2:34:24He looked old this week. So that's all I'm going to say.
- 2:34:27The Titans suck so. Yeah, the Chargers, it's
- 2:34:30interesting because there's a high volume in passing offense
- 2:34:32that we've seen a lot more with a Greg Roman LED offense that
- 2:34:34you never really see. It's just because their running
- 2:34:36game has just been so bad because every running back they
- 2:34:38have keeps getting hurt and then you lose 2 tackles.
- 2:34:40Combined with that and Makai Beckton as well, you're going to
- 2:34:43have trouble running the ball. So Herbert has to step.
- 2:34:45And Johnson's not 100% healthy. So it's just Herbert has to step
- 2:34:48up and he's been every part of that, especially at this high of
- 2:34:51a volume. As far as the Panthers and the
- 2:34:53Packers game, the Panthers young defense has actually been a lot
- 2:34:55more impressive than I would have thought.
- 2:34:56I thought they would have needed some time.
- 2:34:57Ijiro Rivero got a big contract. It's a defensive coordinator
- 2:35:00that looked like it was going to pan out.
- 2:35:01But Nick Scorton, Trevor Wallace, couple of young kids in
- 2:35:03that defense have played very well.
- 2:35:05They're playing well against bad offenses in the past, but now
- 2:35:07they finally did it against a good offense.
- 2:35:10Yeah, I mean, Packers took a hit too.
- 2:35:12Tucker Craft going down stinks. Oh please, I didn't want you to
- 2:35:15say it. That it's didn't want you to say
- 2:35:18it. My bad.
- 2:35:19It kills my fantasy team. I'd love the dude.
- 2:35:22Like I love his story, you know, where he's from and all the
- 2:35:25other stuff. Yeah, we talked about Herbert a
- 2:35:28little bit like I think I don't remember who it was.
- 2:35:29They're talking about his trash yards last week because he got
- 2:35:32over Fort. But I mean, he continues to do
- 2:35:34it and I, I mean, I wish I had his hair, obviously, but he just
- 2:35:39can. But the Titans aren't big.
- 2:35:41He's got a SO he's got a pretty good girlfriend too, man, I.
- 2:35:44Mean, yeah. Well, I wasn't.
- 2:35:45I wasn't going to go though, but that's kind of where I was
- 2:35:48headed in that direction, but took a left instead of a right.
- 2:35:51I saw him at a Laker game, he looks pretty happy.
- 2:35:56Yeah, I. Mean good paycheck, hot chick
- 2:35:59throwing the ball Well, I mean, he's, he's doing all right.
- 2:36:02He's doing a lot. He's doing more than all right.
- 2:36:07She's going to be writing songs about him in many different
- 2:36:09ways. Well, I mean, I can't wait
- 2:36:13Taylor Swift to get the breakup songs apparently get the wedding
- 2:36:16songs too. Well, we already talked about
- 2:36:18the Chiefs. This game had some heartbreak in
- 2:36:21it for Falcons fans. Patriots won 2423.
- 2:36:25The difference was a missed extra point late in the game by
- 2:36:28the Falcons when they were going to tie it up.
- 2:36:30That's just devastating stats in that game.
- 2:36:34Again, very even game in general between the two teams.
- 2:36:38Michael Pennix junior had three touchdown passes, all to Drake
- 2:36:42London who had 9 catches for 118 yards.
- 2:36:45The Patriots Drake May 19 to 29259, two touchdowns and a
- 2:36:49pick. Trayvion Henderson LED them with
- 2:36:52rushing. You know, no one really had a
- 2:36:54jump out game. Demario Douglas apparently lost.
- 2:36:57His uncle was shot a couple of days before the game.
- 2:37:01He has 100, his first ever 100 yard game and a touchdown in the
- 2:37:06win for the Patriots and the other game, Errol our boy Daniel
- 2:37:11Jones turned the ball over five times in the Colts lost to the
- 2:37:16Steelers. Jones was 31 to 50 for 342A
- 2:37:20touchdown rushing touchdown as well, and the three picks and
- 2:37:24two fumbles. He had two receivers with 115
- 2:37:27yards. Alex, it's.
- 2:37:28Going to happen once or twice I'm not worried about.
- 2:37:31It well, I mean, look, it's that's fine.
- 2:37:34Jalen Warren had two rushing touchdowns for Pittsburgh, but
- 2:37:36really didn't get much on the ground.
- 2:37:38They had 38 total rushing yards. I mean, the story they didn't
- 2:37:42really have anyone standing out passing.
- 2:37:44Friar Muth had a touchdown at the tight end but it was, you
- 2:37:47know, you can't win the game if you turn the ball over five
- 2:37:49times, man. No, it is.
- 2:37:51And I agree with you and I'm not and I'm not going to take shots
- 2:37:54at. I want to go to the the Patriot
- 2:37:56Game first because what's interesting to me is Michael
- 2:38:00Pennix, when he plays, he gives his chance, his team a chance to
- 2:38:04win every single week. Bichon Robinson had a bad week.
- 2:38:07I think that was the problem with Atlanta.
- 2:38:09And I think the Patriots found a way to stop Dijon.
- 2:38:12And when you stop Dijon and you stop that offense and you saw
- 2:38:15it, Michael Pennix is special. We could see that he is going to
- 2:38:19develop into a really good quarterback.
- 2:38:21I don't know if he's going to be Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels.
- 2:38:24We'll see. But he's shown to be a very
- 2:38:27important piece to this team's future.
- 2:38:30And I love what I see. But I'm going to tell you this,
- 2:38:33he I don't think he's a top five quarterback, but Drake May has
- 2:38:37been very consistent. You can't you can't complain or
- 2:38:40you can't argue that 1919 for 29259 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1
- 2:38:46interception. He was sacked 6 times.
- 2:38:48But now I think they're going to start running Henderson and you
- 2:38:51could see that maybe the youngster is going to get an
- 2:38:53opportunity and maybe that'll open up the offense a little bit
- 2:38:56better and spread this offense out.
- 2:38:58Like you said, Douglas had his first 100 yard game.
- 2:39:01Henry Diggs needs to play better.
- 2:39:03I know we had a touchdown, but he needs to play better.
- 2:39:05He's a leader. He has to play better.
- 2:39:07Now as far as the Indianapolis Colts game, yeah, Daniel Jones
- 2:39:11didn't have that rock solid game.
- 2:39:13He still threw over 342 yards and he only lost by 7.
- 2:39:18He kept his team in the game. Even with the mistakes.
- 2:39:21The defense is elite. You could see that Indianapolis
- 2:39:24is defense is elite. They're going to be able to
- 2:39:26compete even when they make these kind of mistakes.
- 2:39:28That's the interesting thing with all the mistakes that
- 2:39:31Indianapolis made this week, they still were in the game.
- 2:39:35Their defense kept them in the game.
- 2:39:38And that to me tells me that this can be a contender and
- 2:39:42championship intended team with the talent that they have.
- 2:39:45They can run the ball. They've got a they got Taylor,
- 2:39:47even though he didn't have a big, big game.
- 2:39:49I think he's explosive. He's as explosive as any running
- 2:39:52back in the league. Pittman had a great day.
- 2:39:55I should have started him. I'm smacking myself in the head
- 2:39:58and so did Pierce. I I think they got weapons all
- 2:40:00over the field. And, and, and again,
- 2:40:03congratulations to Aaron Rodgers.
- 2:40:04But Aaron Rodgers didn't have a big day.
- 2:40:06As a matter of fact, he was sick.
- 2:40:07He was sacked 3 times and he only had one touchdown.
- 2:40:10What was impressive to that to me about them is their defense
- 2:40:14and their red zone defense. At some point to this game, it
- 2:40:18was remarkable how good this defense played.
- 2:40:21TJ Watt was all over the field. The defense was all over the
- 2:40:25place making plays. The secretary played very, very
- 2:40:28well and you saw what happened. Yeah, there's a lot of questions
- 2:40:31with Terrell Austin, defensive coordinator.
- 2:40:33With the Steelers, you saw the run defense been really bad, but
- 2:40:35they helped. They really buckle down against
- 2:40:37Jonathan Taylor. He really struggled in this
- 2:40:39game. The offensive line on the
- 2:40:40interior, that's normally very good for the Colts struggled in
- 2:40:42this game and it just affected the rest of their offense.
- 2:40:44You're right, their offense didn't really do much.
- 2:40:45I'm not going to jump the gun, so that meant anything.
- 2:40:47But maybe the Colts have a traded line mover too on defense
- 2:40:50that they could do. As far as the Falcons, they look
- 2:40:52really undisciplined and that's not a good sign, especially for
- 2:40:55the pre snap. Penalty.
- 2:40:56Look for their coaches. Yeah.
- 2:40:57And I get concerned on that too and especially how good their
- 2:40:59offensive line is. Like there's a lot of pre snap
- 2:41:02penalties and a lot of them on 3rd down, a lot of them on 4th
- 2:41:05down when they could have gone for it on 4th and one.
- 2:41:06I agree with you on Pennix. He did everything he could under
- 2:41:08pressure a lot of the time. Smart decisions.
- 2:41:10Obviously London at the great game but you can't be beating
- 2:41:12yourselves like the Falcons have been doing.
- 2:41:14They beat the Bills and now I've lost 3 straights.
- 2:41:16I will say this, High Smith is back and if he plays this well,
- 2:41:22watch out for this defense because he hasn't been at 100%
- 2:41:26all season long. He's been fighting injury really
- 2:41:29since the second-half of the season last year.
- 2:41:31If High Smith plays like this, he had two sacks in the game and
- 2:41:34he dominated a line of scrimmage.
- 2:41:35He had four tackles. This defense is completely
- 2:41:38different. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:41:41I mean, you guys kind of pretty much covered it all.
- 2:41:43So I'm going to sit here and listen all.
- 2:41:46Right, We got 2 more left. Let's get into the next set of
- 2:41:50games. The Broncos defeated the Texans
- 2:41:5318 to 15 in the game where CJ Stroud was knocked out early in
- 2:41:57the first half. He was sliding and.
- 2:42:00Got that hit was tough. In the middle of a slide
- 2:42:03concussion protocol, Davis Mills had to finish the what the IT
- 2:42:07the rest of the way. The Texans did have a lead.
- 2:42:09They didn't really score any points after that.
- 2:42:11Bo Nicks was able to do just enough for them to win, and in
- 2:42:16overtime the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Raiders 30.
- 2:42:21No thanks to Travis Hunter. Pee Wee at the end of the well,
- 2:42:25he didn't play because he's on the IR.
- 2:42:27Yeah, he's a pee. Wee no.
- 2:42:29But the big, big thing in that game was the extra point.
- 2:42:35They decided to go for two at the end of the game in overtime
- 2:42:37to go for the win instead of for the tie.
- 2:42:40And they did not get it. It gets knocked down right at
- 2:42:43the line in a pretty embarrassing looking play for
- 2:42:46Geno Smith, who otherwise played his best game of the season. 29
- 2:42:50of 39 to 84 and 4 touchdowns. 3 to the returning and finally
- 2:42:55healthy for my fantasy team. That's now better than yours,
- 2:42:59Errol. Because of because of 1. 12
- 2:43:02catches because of drop hours. Because of 12 catches one week,
- 2:43:07I lost a week. I lost a week and this guy says
- 2:43:11his team's better than mine. Get out of here.
- 2:43:13Gently had 42 yards on the ground, 47.
- 2:43:17I lost one. Touchdown, but that's that game.
- 2:43:21Pretty close game all the way through to the end.
- 2:43:25What do you think about those two close ones?
- 2:43:26I, I think Bo Nicks, there's a problem here.
- 2:43:29I, I don't think Bo Nicks is what he was last year.
- 2:43:32He's having a, a sophomore slump.
- 2:43:33You can see it. It's a big problem right now for
- 2:43:36them. I think the Broncos are in
- 2:43:38trouble. This team, if they depend too
- 2:43:40much on their defense going into the playoffs, they're going to
- 2:43:43be 1 and done. I, I just don't think they're
- 2:43:46going to be able to. They're 7:00 and 2:00, but I
- 2:43:48think they're a bad seven and two.
- 2:43:49I don't really think they're as good as their record shows, 18
- 2:43:53to 15 against team that has a great defense but have no
- 2:43:58offense and they lost their quarterback in the first quarter
- 2:44:01and you almost lost that game. That is a problem for anybody to
- 2:44:05see that to be like, well, they're 72 and they have the one
- 2:44:09of the elite defenses elite. They're not putting up enough
- 2:44:11points. And that's what that was the
- 2:44:13problem when we had Sanders Sanderson on this show, I argued
- 2:44:17who is their secondary option? Where is their second part of
- 2:44:21their offense coming from? If, if they Courtland Sutton
- 2:44:25doesn't get the ball? I, I, I don't know where they're
- 2:44:28getting it. They're not getting enough of
- 2:44:30it. And that's the problem.
- 2:44:31And I, I got to give JK Dobbins a little bit of credit.
- 2:44:34I mean, this guy had tears in ACL every other year and he
- 2:44:38comes back and he's still one of the elite running backs in the
- 2:44:42league. It's ridiculous.
- 2:44:44How many times does this guy have to tear his knee and come
- 2:44:47back and only sign a one year deal and show up and play as
- 2:44:51hard as he does? It's remarkable what this guy
- 2:44:54is. Wearing 4th in the NFL and
- 2:44:55rushing. It's unbelievable.
- 2:44:58It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable right now what
- 2:45:01JK Dobbins is doing as far as the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 2:45:05Well, how can I say this? Trevor Lawrence sucks, OK, he's
- 2:45:12bad. OK, I I don't know what more to
- 2:45:14say about this. 2023 for 34220 yards, no touchdowns, won a
- 2:45:21deception. I mean, you are an elite
- 2:45:24quarterback. You were being compared to
- 2:45:25Andrew Luck and you just can't do anything on a football field.
- 2:45:31You got weapons like you do and and you have weapons.
- 2:45:34I don't want to hear it. ETN is a weapon.
- 2:45:36ETN is still putting up numbers. I'm very surprised he's putting
- 2:45:39up the numbers he has this year. But you're getting offense from
- 2:45:42Washington. You have.
- 2:45:44Yeah, Brian Thomas Junior, who I think is so explosive.
- 2:45:47You're not using them enough in this game.
- 2:45:49I just, it's it to me, it's just doesn't make any sense.
- 2:45:53And you play a Raiders team that is trying to lose.
- 2:45:57This Raiders team is trying to lose every single game that they
- 2:46:03look like they're in it. They lose it at the tail end of
- 2:46:06it. The only thing good about this
- 2:46:08team is Brock Bowers is back. And boy, oh boy, is he back.
- 2:46:12He had three reception touchdowns in the game for 127
- 2:46:16yards. This is why he's the best tight
- 2:46:18end in football. And it he it's not even close.
- 2:46:21When you when you watch a game like that, he's ridiculous.
- 2:46:25Yeah, when you know how bad the Raiders offense has been this
- 2:46:27year, you could tell that Jacksonville's missing a lot of
- 2:46:29key defenders. I'm not talking about the
- 2:46:30Gremlin, He's not a key defender.
- 2:46:31I'm talking about Jordan Lewis and Devin Lloyd, who've been
- 2:46:33actually two of the best at their positions that year.
- 2:46:35Jordan Lewis have really good corner ex Cowboy that was a
- 2:46:38slack corner over there. And the Devin Lloyd who arguably
- 2:46:40could have been the best performance middle linebacker
- 2:46:42this year so far. They in that game obviously
- 2:46:45Bowers cooked and I agree with Lawrence, his decision making is
- 2:46:47very strange sometimes. And this is a coaching, Cohen
- 2:46:50that like you said, no one said it used these secondary options.
- 2:46:53Well, what do you do with him, $55 million?
- 2:46:55You just signed him for a long term deal.
- 2:46:58What do you do with Trevor Lawrence?
- 2:46:59You got to hope. Like you can't do anything,
- 2:47:01Yeah. You just got to hope that the
- 2:47:03the coaching will finally get on to him.
- 2:47:04He's. So bad it.
- 2:47:06Seems like a lot of these things, like I don't know if
- 2:47:08it's yips, I don't know if it's just he doesn't have the second
- 2:47:10reads right? Because I think Colton's really
- 2:47:12doing a. What is what is what is it with
- 2:47:15these Clemson quarterbacks too? I mean, Deshaun Watson look like
- 2:47:19he was going to be special. Then he was doing the rub and
- 2:47:21tug and now he's he looks like he's done with his career.
- 2:47:25And now you have Trevor Lawrence.
- 2:47:27He was the next big thing. He was the next, he was the next
- 2:47:30slight thing that everybody calls the next slice for, for
- 2:47:33the NFL superstar quarterback. And he's not a slice.
- 2:47:37He's like, I don't know, he's a double whammy.
- 2:47:41He has the perfect or Talon. He is the perfect body type that
- 2:47:44you would. Want to?
- 2:47:44He's a chicken finger that's not cooked.
- 2:47:47OK. Yeah, and his brain, his brain
- 2:47:48looks cooked for some of the decisions he's making.
- 2:47:50And. He's a raw chicken finger,
- 2:47:52that's what he is. The Raiders stayed in the game.
- 2:47:55Literally. Maybe I got to dip him in some
- 2:47:56honey mustard. The Raiders stayed in that game
- 2:47:58literally for that reason because Jacksonville was
- 2:48:00outplaying them like you said on pretty much every other angle.
- 2:48:02Shout out to Cam Little as well. The NFL record with the field
- 2:48:04goals, yes, 68 yards, and that broke the record.
- 2:48:08As far as the other game with the Broncos and the Texans, I
- 2:48:10think it was a bad matchup for the Broncos when you look at
- 2:48:12Stingley on Sutton too. Dude, you're going to tell me
- 2:48:14the Broncos are a good team right now 7.
- 2:48:16I think they're, I think they're good.
- 2:48:18Dude, they barely beat The Jets. They shouldn't have beaten The
- 2:48:20Jets, OK? The Jets practically gave that
- 2:48:23game away. They shouldn't have won this
- 2:48:25game, and this is a bad Houston. They shouldn't.
- 2:48:28Have beat the Giants. Either they shouldn't have
- 2:48:29beaten the Giants, they're not a good team.
- 2:48:32They're really not it to me if they're flawed.
- 2:48:36There are 77 and 2 flawed football team.
- 2:48:39I know your son doesn't want to hear it.
- 2:48:40I know Carter doesn't. Want to hear it?
- 2:48:42He admits it too. He's like we legitimately are a
- 2:48:47soft so he like we could almost be undefeated, but we could
- 2:48:50literally be almost last in our division.
- 2:48:51Like he even said it last night. We were at dinner and, you know,
- 2:48:55we're sitting there just, you know, chopping it up and he was
- 2:48:58like, he's like low key dad Bo Nicks was ass.
- 2:49:01And I'm like, and I mean, and he's a huge Broncos fan.
- 2:49:04He's like, yeah, we pulled it out.
- 2:49:06But he goes, I don't know how much more we can keep doing this
- 2:49:09and how we stay in these games, like goes defensively.
- 2:49:11But yeah, Carter, even Garden even admits to he's like, it's
- 2:49:15not a seven and two team, but yeah, it's it's I wonder what
- 2:49:18Sanderson would have to say about this.
- 2:49:20We got to get him on again, too. But yeah, these two games are
- 2:49:23funny because it's like, literally.
- 2:49:24He'll make excuses, He'll make excuses.
- 2:49:26Yeah, probably. And one of my best is a Raiders
- 2:49:28fan and he's like, he goes, I think I threw one of my slippers
- 2:49:31because we find a way to lose every week.
- 2:49:35And I'm like, man, did you see Max Crosby's tweet?
- 2:49:37He's like, just hang in there with us.
- 2:49:39Like we're real close and whatever.
- 2:49:41I'll just like I don't know about.
- 2:49:44That yeah, if they had Sam Donald.
- 2:49:45He's like hang with us and I'm like Raiders fans are a little
- 2:49:49different. Sam Darnold had a monster game
- 2:49:52on Sunday Night Football. Who cares about the Rands?
- 2:49:54One of 24 for four touchdowns, one pick, 330 yards.
- 2:50:02Of course. Jackson, Smith and Jigva leading
- 2:50:06the NFL by a lot in receiving this year.
- 2:50:09You called that one. That would be me.
- 2:50:12OK 948 total receiving yards on the season and he's had his bye
- 2:50:17week already. He's ahead of the next guy.
- 2:50:20Pretty easy. It's pretty easy when he's the
- 2:50:22only weapon that throw it to. I mean he throws the why I?
- 2:50:25Said he was going to get the record.
- 2:50:26That was exactly my reason I'll. Throw harder to.
- 2:50:30Get double though to more so because he is the only weapon.
- 2:50:33He is getting double, but he's that good.
- 2:50:35He's just that he's that dude. Pretty awesome to see him rise
- 2:50:39to that level. Commanders, though.
- 2:50:41I mean, the story of this game is, you know, and Dan Quinn took
- 2:50:44the blame for it today. Running Jay, you know, running
- 2:50:48Jayden Daniels out there first game back from injury, playing
- 2:50:53him late in the game when it's they're just getting pounded and
- 2:50:57he dislocates his elbow. He's probably out for the rest
- 2:51:00of the season, maybe comes back late in the season.
- 2:51:03This isn't it isn't his throwing.
- 2:51:04He's done. But why would you?
- 2:51:07They're not going anywhere. I don't think we see him again
- 2:51:10till next year, the Rams and Saints.
- 2:51:12I took the Rams defense streaming this week.
- 2:51:14I'm very happy I did. The Paints are terrible.
- 2:51:16A horrible, horrible franchise. Thank you, because they'll
- 2:51:20probably beat The Jets just like they beat the Giants.
- 2:51:23Well, they're both terrible franchises.
- 2:51:25I wrote a story, I have a story up on our website about Sam
- 2:51:29Darnold and and the growth of Sam Darnold.
- 2:51:32It's a great article, Speedy. You tell them it's a great
- 2:51:35article. Go check it out on the Worldwide
- 2:51:36Sports Radio Network. I put it together.
- 2:51:39I gave you the insurance and the outs of Russell Wilson and Geno
- 2:51:42Smith and why the right jet is in the right place at the right
- 2:51:47time and it is a it's a great article.
- 2:51:50Go check it out. It's about all about Sammy boy.
- 2:51:53He should be a jet right now. I'm I'm I'm very upset, but Oh
- 2:51:57yeah, Seattle is explosive. They're contender.
- 2:52:00They're definitely contender offensively.
- 2:52:03I got to see more on this defense.
- 2:52:04I got to see more on this secondary.
- 2:52:07I want to see them against the elite teams and do it against
- 2:52:10lead teams if they can do it. Sam Donald, I believe is the
- 2:52:13real deal. I think this team can compete.
- 2:52:15The Commanders are done. Their season is over.
- 2:52:18I think their season was over. Even if Jayden Daniels was the
- 2:52:22quarterback of this team, I just don't.
- 2:52:24I think it's he's got the yips and I think he has a sophomore
- 2:52:27year. I think Jayden Daniels will be
- 2:52:29good next year. I don't know if he's as good as
- 2:52:32Caleb Williams is and that's why I said it.
- 2:52:34It teams are figuring him out. They got tape on him now.
- 2:52:37So I I'm not saying Jamie, I'm not saying saying that he's not
- 2:52:42good. I just think you you got to
- 2:52:45watch now and see what he's going to be so.
- 2:52:47Yeah, for everyone who's all very loose trying to say, oh,
- 2:52:49it's just not his throwing arm, he'll be back fine.
- 2:52:51It's still harder for a running quarterback than it is for a
- 2:52:53pocket quarterback because you still got to, you still got to
- 2:52:56run, you still got to make moves.
- 2:52:57Stiff arm even just catching the snap too as a quarterback too,
- 2:53:00that's going to be hard. So hopefully.
- 2:53:01James, I feel bad for him. He's definitely on my fantasy.
- 2:53:03Team yeah, and Dan Quinn definitely deserves blame for
- 2:53:06leaving him in the game that long as far as as.
- 2:53:08You're going to blame Dan Quinn? Come on.
- 2:53:11Dan Quinn was trying to first of all, you go to your star
- 2:53:15quarterback and you say to your star quarterback, do you want to
- 2:53:18play? You want to continue playing?
- 2:53:19He's going to tell you yes, and he's competitive and you're not
- 2:53:23going to tell your competitive superstar, OK, I'm going to take
- 2:53:26you out of the game. He wants to, he believes.
- 2:53:29You are Errol, you got it. So happened the quarterback.
- 2:53:32Doesn't happen. We get in our own ways for that
- 2:53:36reason, Errol, like where we know we probably shouldn't, but
- 2:53:39as competitors we want to and we know better because then
- 2:53:43something like this happened. That's why coaches are there.
- 2:53:45The coach has to do that because the player won't, the player
- 2:53:49won't take themselves out if they're a real man.
- 2:53:52And that's the whole point. You know, like you got to have a
- 2:53:56coach who looks at the guy and be like, you know, I had to do
- 2:53:58this in the. House, How many times do you see
- 2:54:00it? How many times do you see it?
- 2:54:02It happens every so often. It happens every so often.
- 2:54:06It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen when you're a
- 2:54:09competitor. If you don't take him out and
- 2:54:11and you're going to blame Dan Quinn, take.
- 2:54:12Him out. It happens every game.
- 2:54:14I I it. Happens every time the game is
- 2:54:17out of hand. You got to take out the
- 2:54:18starters. I usually don't see that in
- 2:54:21unless the game it like the last two minutes of the game.
- 2:54:24It was 10 minutes left of the game.
- 2:54:26I mean, he's not going to pull him out.
- 2:54:27He was 38 to 7. It doesn't matter.
- 2:54:29He's not going to pull him out of the game.
- 2:54:31Most, but most coaches. He disagreed with himself.
- 2:54:35He said that he's he screwed up. Yeah, well, he's, that's what he
- 2:54:38says now, but I don't think he would have changed it at any
- 2:54:41point if he if it were, if he were to go back and do it again,
- 2:54:44he'd still do it the same way. I really.
- 2:54:47Do transitioning to the Seahawks now Fish, I'll give you credit,
- 2:54:49you were this is one of your playoff teams at the beginning
- 2:54:51of the year. I was worried about them because
- 2:54:52there's a lot of new pieces all at once in that new offensive
- 2:54:55coordinator when they strangely fired their one last year.
- 2:54:57But and Donald's comfortable with Clint Kubiak.
- 2:55:00He was in San Francisco with him and you were seeing the results
- 2:55:02are like you're saying, Sam Donald's been one of the best
- 2:55:04quarterbacks in the NFL. That doesn't really get talked
- 2:55:05about as much as he should and. Should be a jet.
- 2:55:08And that defensive line for Seattle's actually played very
- 2:55:10well too. Actually, they're one of the top
- 2:55:11five highest quarterback win rates in the NFL.
- 2:55:15That was a concern for me going in the year.
- 2:55:16The secondary, I agree with you. I will still kind of question
- 2:55:18marks there, but this is a really good team.
- 2:55:20Shut the music. I want to say something and, and
- 2:55:23this goes back to The Jets organization and I I'm upset
- 2:55:26about it and I'm going to say it quickly because we got a lot
- 2:55:29more to do and we have to go to a sports minute.
- 2:55:31When I watch Sam Donald do what he's doing right now, it makes
- 2:55:34me sick. It really, sincerely makes me
- 2:55:37sick because I said it when The Jets decided to move him for a
- 2:55:42second and a fourth, I said this is a big mistake.
- 2:55:45I think Joe Douglas should have held on to him.
- 2:55:47He was 23 years old, 22, going to be 23.
- 2:55:52He was a kid. He was the youngest quarterback
- 2:55:54drafted in NFL history. And to let this kid go the way
- 2:55:59they did and he went to Carolina, he didn't succeed, but
- 2:56:02he just needed a spot where he felt comfortable with an
- 2:56:04offensive coordinator was going to let him be himself.
- 2:56:07You see the opportunity that he is starting to bring to the
- 2:56:12table for all the teams that he played for, Minnesota and now
- 2:56:16Seattle. I'm sick.
- 2:56:18I'm sick to my stomach. I have nothing else to say about
- 2:56:20that. So wasn't Darnold there in
- 2:56:23Carolina with Baker Mayfield? Too.
- 2:56:26Yes, he was. He started over.
- 2:56:27Baker, are you more sick to your stomach than I am about Daniel
- 2:56:31Jones? No.
- 2:56:33You should be sick. You don't think so.
- 2:56:34I feel like, I feel like I'm not that sick.
- 2:56:37You should be sick. About Daniel.
- 2:56:38Jones, you should be sick. Because he was so bad with us.
- 2:56:42That's because the team never gave him weapons.
- 2:56:44They gave him nothing. But like, but to be fair, are
- 2:56:47they ever going to be able to give him weapons?
- 2:56:49This is an incompetent franchise.
- 2:56:51I'm kind of glad he's gone. I feel like Sam Darnold.
- 2:56:53They just didn't wait long enough.
- 2:56:55I'm just to let him develop. My stomach, man, six of my
- 2:56:58stomach watching this, man, it really bothers me.
- 2:57:01And, and, and if he wins a Super Bowl with Seattle at any point,
- 2:57:04it's going to make me sick. It's going to make me really.
- 2:57:07Now the real question Jabba, do you think Sam Darl and Baker
- 2:57:09Mayfield turns their careers around because of Matt Rule and
- 2:57:11Carolina? I'm going to tell you this.
- 2:57:13Remember I said this, don't be surprised if Baker and Sam meet
- 2:57:17in the playoffs and it's a battle of quarterbacks and they
- 2:57:20both have something to prove for each other because they both
- 2:57:24played on the same team and Sam won the job and and a lot of
- 2:57:27people and and Baker blames who there's a defensive coordinator
- 2:57:32that is coaching for the New York Jets right now is the
- 2:57:35reason why he blames him for not getting that starting position.
- 2:57:39So that's a whole nother story, a whole nother thing that we
- 2:57:43we're not going to get into right now, but we're going to go
- 2:57:45to a sports minute. We have Jabba rules tic tac.
- 2:57:47No, we got to dial it up and call your shot is a lot to get
- 2:57:50into when we come back here on Jabba the Mouth.
- 2:57:56This is the Jabba and the Mouth sportsman at.
- 2:58:01All right, Aaron Fishman here with your sportsman.
- 2:58:03I got a couple of stories for you before we get into the
- 2:58:06scores this evening. The University of Auburn have
- 2:58:09fired head coach Hugh Freeze after 2 1/2 seasons running the
- 2:58:13Tigers. Freeze, who's 56, was 15 and 19
- 2:58:16in his time at the SEC school and is still owed $15.8 million
- 2:58:21from the six year, $49 million deal he signed in 2022 to
- 2:58:25replace Brian and Harsen. I have informed Coach Freeze of
- 2:58:28my decision to make a change in leadership with the Auburn
- 2:58:31football program. Cohen says in a statement.
- 2:58:34He is the general manager of the AD of the school.
- 2:58:37Coach Freeze is a man of integrity and we are
- 2:58:39appreciative of his investment in Auburn and his relentless
- 2:58:42work over the last three years in bolstering our roster.
- 2:58:46Our expectations for Auburn football are to annually compete
- 2:58:49for championships and the search for the next leader of Auburn
- 2:58:51football begins immediately. Breeze went one in 12 against
- 2:58:56ranked teams and could never get the offense going, culminating
- 2:59:00with A10 to three loss to Kentucky this week.
- 2:59:02Auburn is now looking for their 4th head coach since they fired
- 2:59:05Dust Malzahn in 2020 only five seasons ago.
- 2:59:09And the AP College Football Poll is out for the first week of
- 2:59:13November. And the top remains much of the
- 2:59:15same with undefeated Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M in the top
- 2:59:19three spots followed by one loss, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon
- 2:59:23and Old Miss. The big changes though were at 8
- 2:59:26through 10 after losses to last week's 8-9 and 10 Georgia Tech,
- 2:59:30Vanderbilt and Miami and that led to undefeated BYU jumping to
- 2:59:348, Texas Tech going to 9 and two lost, Notre Dame getting the 10
- 2:59:38spot. Oklahoma, Texas and Utah were
- 2:59:40the biggest risers after their wins, all of them jumping 7
- 2:59:44spots to 1113 and 17 respectively.
- 2:59:47Only one team, Houston, dropped out of the top 25, with idle
- 2:59:51Washington getting back into the top 25 at #24 for the first time
- 2:59:56since Michael Pennix Junior and Roma Dunze had the squad in the
- 2:59:58national championship game back in 2023.

- 3:02:08to you by? We are brought to you by Veteran

- 3:02:54Nebraska. This makes my pecker hard.
- 3:02:56And as we all know, and now ladies and gentlemen, we call
- 3:03:00this Jabba Rules. History in the.
- 3:03:04Making you ready Jabba rules rules.
- 3:03:07Another TOE job. All right, Jabba, tell us what
- 3:03:10rules tonight. Tonight is we're going to go
- 3:03:15back to baseball and and it and it's kind of a sports related
- 3:03:19one as well. And the fact what we do, you
- 3:03:23know, we're we're out competing, but respect gives and take its
- 3:03:29away. If you get respect, you get
- 3:03:31respect. And I don't know if anybody saw
- 3:03:33it because it was very, very subtle, but Real recognizes
- 3:03:37real. And Yamamoto, as Vlad was
- 3:03:40stepping in the box, tipped his hand to his hat to respect Vlad
- 3:03:46and the understanding of what this man can do right there.
- 3:03:50And that's that's the utmost respect you can give to another
- 3:03:52man that steps in the box. And now he's trying to take
- 3:03:54money off your plate and win. And just to know how much we all
- 3:03:58do respect in between the lines. We want to fight and we want to
- 3:04:01grind, but when real recognizes real and, and respect is is
- 3:04:05given and earned. And it definitely we all got to
- 3:04:09see, you know, what type of player Vlad was and obviously
- 3:04:12Yamamoto and those two stepping up in that biggest moment.
- 3:04:15But to understand how big that moment is.
- 3:04:17But the game only lasts so long. The game of life lasts forever.
- 3:04:21And that just shows you the character of both of those, both
- 3:04:24of those men. So that was that was really
- 3:04:25something to suit. And I, I think it's, it needs to
- 3:04:28not only be done in sports, but in life.
- 3:04:30So that's what ruled today. I gave up the booty there.
- 3:04:35Didn't give up the booty there. As long as she's using dude
- 3:04:38wipes and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
- 3:04:45New pack of 6 just came today baby.
- 3:04:47There you go. Never going raw.
- 3:04:49Well, that's not true. That's how you got Carter.
- 3:04:55Yeah, 20 years, 20 years ago I'm.
- 3:04:58Just kidding. Anyways, Tic Tac No.
- 3:05:03Boris. Right in the butt.
- 3:05:06We get the. Prizes cheat because they're
- 3:05:08stolen, no? No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 3:05:18I have to take a shit. Every time I watch Speedy dance
- 3:05:21it kind of gets me worried that this guy has ants in his pants.
- 3:05:26It seriously looks like he does because he puts his hands up and
- 3:05:31I, I wonder where his hands are going.
- 3:05:33And then all of a sudden they just stay up in the air.
- 3:05:36I'm like, are we, are we playing like, you know, what are they,
- 3:05:41what do they call it? The Eiffel Tower, when you're
- 3:05:44you hold each other's hands and you know, you know what I'm
- 3:05:47talking about, John. Whoa, that is not what I
- 3:05:49thought. When I heard.
- 3:05:49Eiffel Tower I'm gonna be. Honest, I don't know.
- 3:05:52I. Thought I was gonna speak
- 3:05:53French. I thought that was a different
- 3:06:00segment. Well, we haven't done that
- 3:06:03segment in a while, so. Right.
- 3:06:08I don't want to scare anybody away.
- 3:06:09The rah rah shishkumba all. Right, let's go all.
- 3:06:12Right, we'll start with the World Series losing team, the
- 3:06:15Toronto Blue Jays. Last time they won a World
- 3:06:16Series in 1993, what player, who was the oldest team player on
- 3:06:20the team that year led the Blue Jays in hits that season?
- 3:06:2493 in. 1993 he was the oldest player.
- 3:06:27I think I know this one. Paul Molitor.
- 3:06:29And fish gets it. Yeah.
- 3:06:34All of Famer Paul Molitor. Yep, I remember that.
- 3:06:39I was a kid watching that one. I remember that.
- 3:06:42All right, I'm taking the middle Speedy.
- 3:06:44What you got next all? Right, so we'll go to some
- 3:06:46college football. Obviously we talk about Florida
- 3:06:48Fire and Billy Napier, who was the longest tenured Florida
- 3:06:51coach in the last 50 years, also was a Heisman Trophy winner.
- 3:06:58You said a Florida coach? Yep.
- 3:07:01I have no. Spurrier.
- 3:07:02And fish gets super too. Yeah, who do you go with?
- 3:07:06The Heisman. With you.
- 3:07:08Wonder with Florida. Oh, that's right.
- 3:07:12Let's go. That's awesome.
- 3:07:15Speedy, you didn't rehearse this with me at all.
- 3:07:18This is just great. All right, I'm going to take
- 3:07:22off. I'm going to take bottom right.
- 3:07:26All right, here we go. Next question, do your your
- 3:07:29worst speedy all. Right, let's go to some
- 3:07:30basketball. So KD's first year in Oklahoma
- 3:07:33City, we were talking about his feud with the Thunder fans.
- 3:07:35He was the leading scorer that season.
- 3:07:37Russell Westbrook was third. What player who's still active
- 3:07:40was the second leading scorer? Oh.
- 3:07:44What year is this? So the first year in OKC, so
- 3:07:48that would have been the 2000. So this is KD second year, but
- 3:07:50yeah, KD second year. In the league, so it's been
- 3:07:522008. I have no idea who's on that
- 3:07:54team. It's not James Harden's.
- 3:07:56It's. A player that is still active.
- 3:07:57I wasn't in the league yet. No.
- 3:08:00Stupid ass mission. That's an interesting question
- 3:08:04still. Playing.
- 3:08:05I'm just trying to think of guys that would still be playing from
- 3:08:08that team. Well, it's not Kendrick Perkins,
- 3:08:10even though he was a. Hero say that as a joke.
- 3:08:14It's a white dude. Still playing, Still playing?
- 3:08:21What the hell? Is it collision?
- 3:08:26Nope, Nick Collision was the last original Supersonic I.
- 3:08:30Don't even know that team. Damn, I'm still.
- 3:08:32Playing. Kansas.
- 3:08:34I'm going to guess, but I don't know if he's still playing.
- 3:08:36I don't know if it's right. I'm going to say Serge Ibaka.
- 3:08:38No. No, Ibaka is a.
- 3:08:40Good guess, but he's definitely not tired.
- 3:08:42I don't know. If he was playing or not.
- 3:08:44Collision was in the league for a long time.
- 3:08:46So yeah, it was the last original supersonic.
- 3:08:48I think it was retired like 4 years ago.
- 3:08:50Is this like like a Nick Batum? No.
- 3:08:56But that's a good guess. It's a similar.
- 3:08:58Type of player I got, I got nothing.
- 3:09:01Player. I'm trying to think I can't.
- 3:09:04It's going to be like one of these guys.
- 3:09:06That's just like a role player off the bench for the last six
- 3:09:09years, but he's just been around.
- 3:09:12You're right, Fisher is literally that type of player.
- 3:09:15He's probably been on like 17. Yeah, he definitely could have
- 3:09:18been. Yep, sure, it's not a woman.
- 3:09:22No, it's not a woman. Hey, you can't say that.
- 3:09:28Yeah, I. Don't know SO job.
- 3:09:29Would you know I got nothing? Yep.
- 3:09:31So Fish, you're literally right. It isn't that type of player.
- 3:09:33It's Jeff Green. Jeff.
- 3:09:35Green. I didn't remember Jeff Green.
- 3:09:40Was I remembered him uncle? Jeff, I remember him now.
- 3:09:43All right, Speaking of time, when you're going for the block,
- 3:09:45yes, I. Am heart problem.
- 3:09:47Surprise, Speedy gets the block. Damn, we could have.
- 3:09:49Done it. All right.
- 3:09:50Next question. All right, so the recently
- 3:09:52retired Darius Leonard has the rookie record with most combined
- 3:09:56tackles in a season. So which active linebacker?
- 3:09:59That is third among rookies, just behind him in that record
- 3:10:03with 112. I'm sorry, say that all over
- 3:10:07again. So.
- 3:10:07Darius Leonard had the rookie record for most combined tackles
- 3:10:10in a season. He just retired.
- 3:10:11That's why I brought it up. So which active linebacker?
- 3:10:13Somebody still in the league was third?
- 3:10:15Multiple. Time with 112.
- 3:10:17I'm going to guess Wagner. Nope.
- 3:10:22Active linebacker now? Yep.
- 3:10:25Von Miller. Nope.
- 3:10:27No, he's an edge rusher. He needs to admit a linebacker
- 3:10:30to get that many tackles. Levante, David.
- 3:10:35Java gets it. He couldn't even miss on his.
- 3:10:37Husker. He couldn't miss on his Husker
- 3:10:40after missing Matt Rule the last time we.
- 3:10:41Did this I know. I was like, you know, I think
- 3:10:43I'm pretty sure it is. That's a great one.
- 3:10:46All right, Jabba, where do you want to go?
- 3:10:48Let's go middle right? Suck it, speedy.
- 3:10:56Middle right, right here. All right, we got a two way go
- 3:11:01right here. I like it.
- 3:11:04All right, Speedy. All right, so back to college
- 3:11:07football. So Indiana, one of the remaining
- 3:11:09undefeated teams, They were also like that last year, along with
- 3:11:12Oregon and two other teams. So you have to name one of those
- 3:11:15two other teams. One of them was a Big 12 team,
- 3:11:17the other one was a non. Defeated.
- 3:11:19Yep, Who was the last remaining undefeated teams last year?
- 3:11:22One of them was a Big 12 team, the other one is a non power
- 3:11:25four team. Name one of them I.
- 3:11:31Can't remember looking at the standings.
- 3:11:33Was it a mid major? Yeah, one of them was a non
- 3:11:36power four team. Yes, that would qualify I.
- 3:11:41Can't remember if ASU lost the game.
- 3:11:44That's not even that. Doesn't even.
- 3:11:46Fit the security North Dakota State?
- 3:11:48No. Is it North Dakota State or
- 3:11:49South Dakota State? No, it's still an FBS team.
- 3:11:53Those are all FCS. Teams.
- 3:11:55It's not an FCS. Team.
- 3:11:57Oh, OK. North Dakota State does have
- 3:12:00like them and JMU are like a dynasty for like FCS.
- 3:12:03Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
- 3:12:04I was like, damn, I know it's one of those.
- 3:12:07I need you to say the question one more time, so.
- 3:12:10Along with Oregon and Indiana, the last four undefeated teams
- 3:12:13when the College Football Playoff came out, one of them
- 3:12:17was a Big 12 team, the other one was a non power four team.
- 3:12:19So just you need to name just one of the the two teams.
- 3:12:23Undefeated last. Year.
- 3:12:25Yeah, one of the last four. Undefeated last year.
- 3:12:29Who was the? Good Big 12 team last year.
- 3:12:32I can't even think of right now. I'm trying to think of a big the
- 3:12:34Big 12 team. Well, we're in the Big 10, so I
- 3:12:38don't really watch the Big. 12. They're sacrilegious to the
- 3:12:42conference now that they left. Yeah, Texas was last.
- 3:12:46Year last year was. Texas.
- 3:12:47'S first year in SEC, right? Yes.
- 3:12:49OK, nevermind. So it's not done for sure.
- 3:12:51Yes. I don't.
- 3:12:52Do they want to defeat? Yeah.
- 3:12:53Like you were saying, Arizona State wasn't the Big 12.
- 3:12:55The expansion did happen then. The first, the last year the PAC
- 3:12:5712 was 2023. I don't know.
- 3:12:59Honestly, I I don't know. I I'm just going to guess the
- 3:13:06team. She's I'm like completely
- 3:13:16blanking. There's no point.
- 3:13:19Yeah, I got nothing wrong. Kansas State.
- 3:13:22Nope. Yes, you, you already guessed
- 3:13:24right, Darryl. No, I don't know.
- 3:13:26You didn't guess OK Yeah, you could just tell this meeting I.
- 3:13:28Don't think so. One of them the the Big 12 team
- 3:13:30was BYU. So scoops, you're on the right
- 3:13:32track. A team.
- 3:13:32Another team that moved. You know what's funny?
- 3:13:34I I was thinking of BYUBYUI, was thinking of Zach.
- 3:13:37I was going to. Begin and then the and the
- 3:13:40independent team was one that one of our guests knows very
- 3:13:43well and Colin Cosell and that was.
- 3:13:44Tell you this BYU basketball is going to be really good this
- 3:13:47year. Once they are.
- 3:13:49What they say that kids gonna go #1 or #2?
- 3:13:52Yeah, I've heard number. One, are you going for the block
- 3:13:54here? Are you going for the block
- 3:13:56here? Let's go for yeah, where I can
- 3:13:58win. I'll go top right.
- 3:14:00You could win either place. Yeah, there's no difference.
- 3:14:02All right, Yeah, let's go there. All right, here we go.
- 3:14:05Next one wins it looks like. All right, we'll go.
- 3:14:06We'll go to baseball for this one.
- 3:14:09I was saving this one for Jabba. I lost.
- 3:14:11I didn't want to use it the week, the week he was out.
- 3:14:14So obviously Yamamamoto, with the two complete games there was
- 3:14:18the last Dodgers pitcher to do that, did it in 2004.
- 3:14:21Who was that? Two complete games in the
- 3:14:25playoffs. No, just any playoff complete
- 3:14:28game, which which also there was a weird gap.
- 3:14:32There was a long gap before that.
- 3:14:33Before that the last complete game in the playoffs was
- 3:14:35Verlander in 2017. But this is the last Dodger to
- 3:14:38do it, and they did it in 2004. 2004 Dodgers.
- 3:14:44My goodness. I got.
- 3:14:48A life with Dodger. Kevin Brown.
- 3:14:53Nope. Yeah, golly.
- 3:15:06I got nothing. I don't even know anybody at
- 3:15:07your pictures. Can I give my pick to fish?
- 3:15:10Yes. Let's give some Fisher to guess.
- 3:15:11All right, Fish, you get another one.
- 3:15:15I can't. I couldn't even tell you the
- 3:15:17Dodgers back then. I was AI.
- 3:15:21Remember what? Because I was.
- 3:15:22I was in college. Nomo.
- 3:15:27Nope. Damn.
- 3:15:32Was was he a star his whole career?
- 3:15:40I. Think a majority of it.
- 3:15:45I want to say I'm. I am.
- 3:15:51I don't know why it was it Lima time.
- 3:15:54Yes. It was because I remain wasn't
- 3:15:59there long. No, I think only two years.
- 3:16:02Yeah, but I remember. It was like.
- 3:16:04They were comparing to like when he when he was thrown is like
- 3:16:07this is like Fernando. But I, I knew there was like
- 3:16:09some correlation in like the like Fernando mania or
- 3:16:13something. And I was like, I but I didn't
- 3:16:16think he started that long. Yeah, he was most of the most of
- 3:16:21his career was a. Star.
- 3:16:22Sometimes I sit on it. But yeah, because he was like a
- 3:16:24fourth or fifth starter, like it wasn't.
- 3:16:26Like, all the time, yeah. Yeah, he only had one year with
- 3:16:29the serial killer. He only had one year with the
- 3:16:31Dodgers. Then he went to the Then he went
- 3:16:32to the Royals. Then he went to the Mets in in O
- 3:16:346 and he got hurt in his. Career, yeah.
- 3:16:37Isn't it been dancing? Is your Wiener Barb.
- 3:16:39Dancing. Yeah, he.
- 3:16:41Was a starter most of his career.
- 3:16:46Nathan had that say. He just had a different colored
- 3:16:48shirt on tonight. Nathan had that exact same
- 3:16:51blazer. He had the blazer on.
- 3:16:53He's the blue blazer. It's it's definitely something
- 3:16:56special when he has that blazer. I think he was trying to impress
- 3:16:59Brandon Steiner. I don't know.
- 3:17:01There was something, something I, I, I don't get it, but yeah.
- 3:17:06By the way, Brandon's house is dope.
- 3:17:08I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure. I might have to check it out,
- 3:17:14but it's funny because Mike Catino tells me a lot about him
- 3:17:17and Brandon Steiner. They kind of work together.
- 3:17:19When Brandon started his his his collection and started to sell
- 3:17:24autograph signings, Mike Catino had his own, you know, magazine
- 3:17:28and they worked in the same place.
- 3:17:30So they worked hand in hand with each other when it came to
- 3:17:33athletes. Brandon would bring the athletes
- 3:17:35and, and Mike Catino would get them in the magazine.
- 3:17:38So it's, it's pretty cool. And he wanted to link me up with
- 3:17:42Brandon Steiner over the last, I would say the last six or seven
- 3:17:46months, but I I've been so busy with with what we're doing, what
- 3:17:50we're doing. So it's been, it's just been a
- 3:17:52little bit hard. So anyways, we got a little bit
- 3:17:54more to go. We call this dial it up.
- 3:17:57We interrupted. This regularly.
- 3:17:58Scheduled. Hot mix to bring an important
- 3:18:00news book. We got a big.
- 3:18:02Broadcast to do here. We're about to dial it all it
- 3:18:05up. That's called sex.
- 3:18:08All right, guys, welcome to dial it up, everyone's favorite
- 3:18:14lightning round sports. We got a bunch of stories Errol
- 3:18:17doesn't know anything about yet, but he's going to react to them
- 3:18:20in real time and then we'll go back and forth with them.
- 3:18:23Errol John Morant suspended one game for conduct detrimental to
- 3:18:29the team. He missed Sunday's game for this
- 3:18:33incident that happened after Friday's game where he did not
- 3:18:35respond in an appropriate Wade to 1st year head coach.
- 3:18:39Tawamas is solo in a dismissive tone, according to ESP NS Shams
- 3:18:46Sharanya 1. Questioned by reporters after
- 3:18:49the game, Moran told reporters to go ask the coaching staff
- 3:18:53about his poor performance. According to the coaching staff,
- 3:18:56probably don't play me honestly. That's basically what the
- 3:18:59message was. It's cool.
- 3:19:01Morant has been bad to start the season with horrible 3 point
- 3:19:05shooting and is playing a career 28.5 minutes per game.
- 3:19:12Errol dial it. Up Well, John Moran obviously is
- 3:19:17asking his way out of wherever he believes he's playing because
- 3:19:21I think he's in his own little world.
- 3:19:24I I just think he's in his own little world right now.
- 3:19:27Unfortunately, John Moran is still one of the more
- 3:19:30athletically gifted players in the NBA.
- 3:19:33But as of right now, I just don't think he's going to find
- 3:19:36his way with another team. No team is going to take on a
- 3:19:40personality of that trait. We've seen it with Russell
- 3:19:43Westbrook. It took a while for a team to
- 3:19:45figure out what Russell Westbrook was.
- 3:19:47And I, I don't know if John Morant is, as you know, to me,
- 3:19:52as, as, as I would say more cool and collective as Russell
- 3:19:58Westbrook is. He's not a team player.
- 3:20:00He's a guy that does whatever he wants.
- 3:20:01He's on social media, He's done his stuff with the guns we've
- 3:20:05had. We've seen the problems that
- 3:20:06he's had. How many times have we had Chris
- 3:20:08Childs on the show and saying that somebody needs to sit down
- 3:20:11and have a conversation with him?
- 3:20:12He's not a leader, he's not a champion.
- 3:20:15He's done nothing. How many times has he gone to
- 3:20:17the playoffs and how many times he's completely laid up a lousy
- 3:20:19goose egg? The guy just doesn't do it
- 3:20:22right. He's not a real player.
- 3:20:25In this league, and I think the problem with him is going to be
- 3:20:28who's going to take on a responsibility like that?
- 3:20:30That is the problem right now with John Moran.
- 3:20:32It's not the fact that he doesn't have the talent and the
- 3:20:34ability. It seems like he doesn't like
- 3:20:36the coach there and that's why he wants his way out and that's
- 3:20:39why he's not playing. He's not playing hard because he
- 3:20:41knows he doesn't want to be there anymore.
- 3:20:44So what is he doing? He's forcing his hand and
- 3:20:46forcing his way out of there. But now who's going to take on a
- 3:20:50responsibility like that and who's going to take the chance
- 3:20:53with a responsibility like that? I don't know who will and I
- 3:20:56don't know who who was going to take an opportunity like that.
- 3:21:00I think it's an opportunity, but it's an opportunity that could
- 3:21:02fall flat on his face so. I absolutely agree in the sense
- 3:21:05that if we were looking at John Moran five years ago during the
- 3:21:08bubble, really when he was starting to pop off, starting to
- 3:21:10like show his show his feet, show his Immaculate dunks or
- 3:21:14whatnot, because he was a fun player to watch.
- 3:21:15Now be honest, I was excited to watch John Moran just as much as
- 3:21:19the next person. But then like you mentioned, we
- 3:21:20see how how much of A poor leader it is that he is, how
- 3:21:25much trouble he's getting into this year.
- 3:21:26You can clearly see he doesn't like the coaching staff.
- 3:21:29You can see it's it's it's it's clearly an internal problem.
- 3:21:32And on top of that, he can't stay away from his guns or
- 3:21:34whatnot. So I got to be honest, like,
- 3:21:36like I said, too, if we're watching this five years ago
- 3:21:38from now, it would be, it would be heartbreaking because I
- 3:21:40actually liked watching John Moran.
- 3:21:41I wanted to see this guy succeed or whatnot.
- 3:21:43But if anything does succeed with the Grizzlies, it would be
- 3:21:47not because of John Moran. He's like you said, Errol.
- 3:21:50He's proven that he's not a leader.
- 3:21:51And with guys like that, you can't really win.
- 3:21:53So if you are, if the Grizzlies are to win in the next couple of
- 3:21:56years, it definitely won't be. Because he doesn't want to be
- 3:21:58there. You could see that he doesn't
- 3:22:00want to be there, so that's why he's playing as bad as he is,
- 3:22:04so. Yeah, expect him to be in lots
- 3:22:07of rumors this year around the straight.
- 3:22:09Though nobody's going to want, they're not going to give up
- 3:22:11much for him. No, here's another guy that
- 3:22:14can't do any rumors anymore because he got fired.
- 3:22:17Yeah, we're talking about Miami Dolphins general manager Chris
- 3:22:21Greer was fired on Friday, shortly after the debacle on
- 3:22:26Thursday Night Football where they fell 28 to 6 to the Ravens.
- 3:22:30They're now two and seven on the season.
- 3:22:32As soon as they fired Phillips, they traded edge rusher Jalen
- 3:22:36Phillips to the Eagles. And although Jalen Waddle was
- 3:22:40apparently off the table under Greer, he may now be available
- 3:22:45at the deadline under new leadership.
- 3:22:48In the nine years with Greer's GM, the Dolphins were 77 and 80
- 3:22:52and had three playoff appearances.
- 3:22:54They are saying, at least for now, that head coach Mike
- 3:22:57McDaniel is expected to finish the season as head coach under
- 3:23:01interim GM former assistant GM champ Kelly Errol.
- 3:23:05Jalen Waddle is quite a big name to be floating around out there
- 3:23:10at the trade deadline. Well.
- 3:23:13The Giants are looking for a secondary wide receiver to play
- 3:23:15with neighbors. That could be a nice move for
- 3:23:18the New York Giants if they can squeak him away from the Miami
- 3:23:21Dolphins. Here's the problem with the
- 3:23:23Miami Dolphins. They're in a division that is
- 3:23:25really bad. Buffalo has dominated the
- 3:23:28division for the last, I would say five years.
- 3:23:30The Patriots are figuring things out and The Jets are bad.
- 3:23:33So it's it's really the battle of bad teams.
- 3:23:37The Jets or the Eagle. I mean the The Jets are the
- 3:23:39Miami Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins often have a
- 3:23:42better record than The Jets over the last couple of years. 77 and
- 3:23:4580 is not as bad as probably what The Jets have over the last
- 3:23:48couple of years with the coaching and and and the
- 3:23:50different GM's if they had in place.
- 3:23:52But I don't know what's going on with Miami.
- 3:23:55They have to figure out what they're going to do with to
- 3:23:57attack a Viola here. They gave him an extension a
- 3:24:00couple of years ago. He is getting paid a lot of
- 3:24:02money. I don't know what is going on
- 3:24:04with that organization and ownership.
- 3:24:06They they have one of the more interesting owners in all the
- 3:24:10football. He brings in all these superstar
- 3:24:13guys. There were so many people that
- 3:24:15own pieces of the the the Dolphins and now all of a sudden
- 3:24:19we haven't even heard anything like that.
- 3:24:21I don't know where the Dolphins, this organization is heading.
- 3:24:24All I do know is they got to figure out first who is going to
- 3:24:29lead this team. The same thing that Jets have a
- 3:24:31problem with is the same problem the Dolphins had and have had
- 3:24:36since Dan Marino. It's been bad.
- 3:24:39Yeah, it's been stuck in mediocrity for a while, like the
- 3:24:41like the Dolphins haven't hit the lowest of lows that you've
- 3:24:44seen these other poverty organizations like the Browns
- 3:24:46and the Raiders do. But there's they've done just as
- 3:24:48many bad things with players and then just bad as many bad things
- 3:24:51with coaches. This guy should have been there
- 3:24:52for maybe 3 or 4 years. He should have been fired five
- 3:24:54years ago. Like he wasn't really doing
- 3:24:55much. Yeah, he the tunnel trade was
- 3:24:57good. They accumulated a lot of draft
- 3:24:59picks, but I think since then he didn't really do enough good
- 3:25:01trades with the draft picks. Then they couldn't find
- 3:25:03offensive line, They can't find defensive line outside of Jalen
- 3:25:06Phillips. So there's only so much you
- 3:25:07could do. And a lot of people were saying
- 3:25:09that the ownership was keeping him on because of the whole
- 3:25:12Flores scandal. They didn't want to keep him on.
- 3:25:14Well, it makes you look bad keeping a really good coach in
- 3:25:16Flores and then you keep a mediocre at best GM and Greer.
- 3:25:20So you can't have it both ways. You really look at a bad
- 3:25:22organization that way. And Miami is going to be a lot
- 3:25:24further in hell than people realize because they're very
- 3:25:26cash strapped right now. All right, let's move on to
- 3:25:32another sport. And this one's one of my
- 3:25:34favorite stories of the week. Oh yeah, That's Mr. Joel.
- 3:25:38Embiid. Getting fined $50,000 for doing
- 3:25:44the old sucking crotch job. Yes, Joel Embiid fined 50K after
- 3:25:50making a lewd gesture in the first quarter against the
- 3:25:55Celtics on Friday. He did the famous Degeneration X
- 3:25:59crotch chop that he has been warned about in the past.
- 3:26:02Embiid, however, said he was merely trying to imitate the
- 3:26:06blocking foul Stein referees do after making a basket.
- 3:26:11Interesting. Y'all better start finding the
- 3:26:15refs for doing the lewd blocking foul gesture since I'm not
- 3:26:21allowed to do it and then he hashtag the NFL because he
- 3:26:25doesn't even know what league he's in.
- 3:26:27According to Embiid, Embiid has been fined 4 times for a total
- 3:26:34of $185,000 for doing the suck it crotch top in his NBA career.
- 3:26:42Errol. Dial it up.
- 3:26:45Well that's pocket money for for him, that's for damn sure
- 3:26:48$180,000. Honestly, Joellen Beat is the
- 3:26:52biggest creep in the NBA. The guy when you we look at some
- 3:26:56of the worst really personalities we've seen, John
- 3:27:00Murray, it's one of them obviously with the gun
- 3:27:02situation, we just mentioned one of them and then Joel Embiid and
- 3:27:05there's other guys, obviously Brooks, we all know all of them
- 3:27:09and we mentioned one. There's one of them in Golden
- 3:27:11State as well as it's all podcast as well, Mr. Draymond
- 3:27:14Green. They're all asses.
- 3:27:16This guy is the biggest ass of them all because what does he
- 3:27:19do? He tries to hurt players.
- 3:27:21He tries to put himself in a position all the time where he
- 3:27:25says I don't want to play back-to-back games.
- 3:27:27I don't want to do this. I don't want to do that.
- 3:27:28I'm making hundreds of millions of dollars and complaining to
- 3:27:31the organization that they're not giving them the right
- 3:27:34players to win championships. Meanwhile, he cried to the NBA
- 3:27:39for years that he should have been the MVP, finally wins the
- 3:27:42MVP and chokes in the playoffs again.
- 3:27:44Think about it this way. This is the only big man that's
- 3:27:48won an MVP that's never taken his team to an Eastern
- 3:27:53Conference finals. What is that spell and what is
- 3:27:56that smell that smells like, like old dirty crap.
- 3:28:00That's what it smells like. Joellen Beat is an ass.
- 3:28:03He shouldn't be doing the things that he does on a basketball
- 3:28:05court, especially when kids are watching.
- 3:28:08He's a complete freak. And you know what?
- 3:28:11He should go over there and hang out with his beautiful,
- 3:28:14beautiful celebrity wife who likes to show her boobs and
- 3:28:18everything on social media and, and now you know, he has got how
- 3:28:22many kids? I mean, honestly, I could care
- 3:28:24less what this guy does. He hangs out in New York in the
- 3:28:27off he's in, and he signs autographs like he's something
- 3:28:30special. He hasn't won anything, he
- 3:28:32hasn't done anything. He's a loser.
- 3:28:34Who's Joe Ellen Beat's wife? Go look, she's a supermodel.
- 3:28:38Battle right now. I was wondering the same thing.
- 3:28:41Dude's a gremlin. But it's about to go look her
- 3:28:43up, right? Now he makes you.
- 3:28:44Yeah, and I heard Joe Ellen beaten supermodel like that.
- 3:28:47Can't be. Right, she's a supermodel.
- 3:28:49Anna DePaul. Paulo.
- 3:28:50Yeah. Anna Depaulo.
- 3:28:52Yeah, she's a supermodel. Yeah, money makes you sexy.
- 3:28:56But no, we, we talked about him too when he was talking about,
- 3:28:58oh, all I've done for Philly and all this other stuff.
- 3:29:01And and like you said that what has he done really?
- 3:29:05He hasn't done anything for Philly.
- 3:29:07And I mean, he talks mess and then he goes out and doesn't,
- 3:29:10doesn't follow through, doesn't win championships.
- 3:29:12Like I'm tired that we that he keeps getting brought up, but
- 3:29:17there's nothing else to talk about because he just keeps
- 3:29:19being an idiot. Like, oh, trying to do the
- 3:29:21blocking foul. Shut up.
- 3:29:22You're, you're, you're stupid, but you're not that stupid.
- 3:29:25Like, and you just keep getting in the news for nothing.
- 3:29:28That is productive. It's all anti productive for
- 3:29:31your team and yourself and it just makes you look like an
- 3:29:33absolute idiot. He screwed.
- 3:29:36He screwed the Knicks a couple of years ago because they lost
- 3:29:39Mitchell Robinson because of him.
- 3:29:41He absolutely screwed him. And here's another thing about
- 3:29:43him that I really don't like. Remember when the Knicks went to
- 3:29:47Philadelphia in the playoffs and the fans showed up?
- 3:29:49The Knick fan showed up and he had nothing good to say about
- 3:29:52the Philadelphia fans. If you're all about
- 3:29:55Philadelphia, why are you taking shots at your own fans that you
- 3:29:58should have filled out the seats?
- 3:29:59Hey, dude, why don't you pay for the seats?
- 3:30:01They're like, what are they, $5 a seat?
- 3:30:04The Knick fans went there and filled out the floor seats
- 3:30:07because they were cheap. If you care so much, open your
- 3:30:11goddamn packets pockets. You spend $180,000 giving them
- 3:30:15the socket sign, we'll take that $180,000 and go buy tickets for
- 3:30:20the fans. You'll lose her.
- 3:30:21That's all I'm going to say. All right, let's keep it rolling
- 3:30:26here on Dial It UP. We got another one for you and
- 3:30:30this is 1. You mentioned that you wrote a
- 3:30:32story about Errol Giant, but here's the next update.
- 3:30:35Giants D line coach Andre Patterson is backing Dexter
- 3:30:40Lawrence in his disagreement with Carl Banks.
- 3:30:43So he took to the media saying that the star defensive tackle,
- 3:30:47he's going to take his side. Banks had criticized Lawrence's
- 3:30:51play in 2025, saying his production had gone down, that
- 3:30:54teams no longer fear him like they used to.
- 3:30:57Lawrence says he draws just as much attention and Banks was
- 3:31:00delusional, while Patterson chimed in saying if he wasn't
- 3:31:03playing well, I would stand here, right, right here in front
- 3:31:06of you and tell you he's not playing well and I have to get
- 3:31:09him to play better. But that's not the truth.
- 3:31:12After that, Lawrence had a grand total of 1 pressure and one
- 3:31:17quarterback hit in Sunday's 34 to 24 loss to San Francisco
- 3:31:23Errol. Dial it up.
- 3:31:25Coach you. Coach you.
- 3:31:27That's what Andre Patterson. I know who he is.
- 3:31:30Because if I was Carl Banks, that's what I'd be saying.
- 3:31:34Who the hell are you? OK, I won two Super Bowls with
- 3:31:37the New York Giants. I have been a voice for the New
- 3:31:41York Giants all over social media, all over every single
- 3:31:45radio station in the country. I go and I speak up for the
- 3:31:49Giants and the Giant players. And yeah, I I would be agree
- 3:31:53with him that Dexter Lawrence has taken steps back.
- 3:31:56I think Dexter is not 100% healthy right now.
- 3:31:59I really do believe he's playing hurt.
- 3:32:01So of course what Carl Banks is doing is he's trying to hype
- 3:32:04them up. Obviously the New York Giants
- 3:32:06are being put in a situation and and then you're going to hear
- 3:32:09from these old timers, old Giant players that are going to come
- 3:32:13out and say, well, are you? You're not Lawrence Taylor,
- 3:32:16you're not this guy. You're not that guy.
- 3:32:18And that's what Carl Banks is saying right now.
- 3:32:20If you think you're that great of a defense, you really believe
- 3:32:23you're a top 7 defense right now in the league, you got to go out
- 3:32:27there and play hard and play at the top, at your top of your
- 3:32:30game. And they're not, they're just
- 3:32:31not right now. And so Carl is just coming out
- 3:32:33and see saying what he sees. I don't believe Carl actually
- 3:32:37believes Dexter Lawrence is still not an elite player.
- 3:32:41I do not believe that. I think you just said it to kind
- 3:32:45of jab at him. So for all you Giant fans that
- 3:32:48are upset at Carl Banks and by the way, what WFAN and what
- 3:32:53everybody has done to this man when he has been nothing but a
- 3:32:56voice of reason for the New York Giants and the New York Giants
- 3:33:00fans, shame on all the radio stations that have thrown this
- 3:33:04guy to the wolves. I would love Carl Banks to come
- 3:33:07on this show because I would tell Carl, keep speaking man.
- 3:33:10Keep saying and keep talking how you feel because that's what I
- 3:33:14want to hear. I want to hear the truth, not
- 3:33:16some bull crap when you're getting on your hands and knees
- 3:33:18and kissing everybody's ass from the New York Giants
- 3:33:21organization. He also said that Dexter
- 3:33:24Lawrence was his favorite player, of course, and he wanted
- 3:33:27his favorite player to start playing like he knew he was
- 3:33:30capable of, to say that he's playing just as good.
- 3:33:33As he did last year is crazy when he had almost 10 sacks at
- 3:33:38this point last year with a lot with double the amount of
- 3:33:41pressures creating all sorts of havoc.
- 3:33:43Now the line is different right? And you have more pressure
- 3:33:47coming from the outside and you probably can award some of those
- 3:33:50sacks that Brian Burns is getting leading the league with
- 3:33:5411 to Dexter pushing the pocket and having them having to run
- 3:33:57into Burns. Sure, we know that Dexter
- 3:34:00Lawrence is still very good, but Dexter Lawrence wasn't just very
- 3:34:03good. He was doing stuff only guys
- 3:34:05like Aaron Donald was doing for the last two seasons.
- 3:34:08Right now, he's playing well. He's just not playing that well.
- 3:34:11That's all he was saying, Carl, and he's saying that we need
- 3:34:15Dexter Lawrence to to play at that level if they're going to
- 3:34:18win. And the giants clearly aren't
- 3:34:20winning. So step up your GameStop
- 3:34:22pretending like, look, you met you're getting the same amount
- 3:34:25of double teams. OK, they're paying attention to
- 3:34:27you, but you're not beating anything.
- 3:34:29And when you're soloed up, I see very often just not getting off
- 3:34:32blocks, not making plays, just not enough plays.
- 3:34:36I mean, in general in the giants defense, but just not plays
- 3:34:39being made by a guy. Are you going to are you going
- 3:34:40to attack Carl Banks? Because he is going to speak and
- 3:34:43say what he feels. I I'm not.
- 3:34:45And Dexter Lawrence, I understand he's upset.
- 3:34:48He doesn't like the way this team has.
- 3:34:50Really been motivated, but he likes the youngsters that they
- 3:34:54have everything that he has said over the last couple of weeks
- 3:34:57says that he is the leader of this team.
- 3:34:59But when you're the superstar of your team and you're not playing
- 3:35:02well what it what is what is called banks going to do is
- 3:35:04going to attack the superstar and that's what he did just take
- 3:35:08it. You guys attack me all the time
- 3:35:10and, and, and you guys say whatever you feel and I just sit
- 3:35:13there and I just laugh at it and I attack you back as I Oh my
- 3:35:18God, as I always wait. Speaking of attacks, there was
- 3:35:23something I forgot to show you earlier.
- 3:35:25We got this cat picture of when you got wheeled out of high
- 3:35:28school finally made-up for you. Right here, this was your.
- 3:35:32Last day in high school when they wheeled you out.
- 3:35:36How you graduated, man? Well, I mean, you can call it
- 3:35:39graduating. Some wouldn't, but this, this
- 3:35:42was certainly the last day Fish. There is a disclaimer to this.
- 3:35:47One of my Hannibal Lecter. What the hell is this fish?
- 3:35:52There's a. Disclaimer to This is a
- 3:35:53factually. Inaccurate Arrow was not an
- 3:35:55Islanders fan in high school. No, I wasn't.
- 3:35:58That's. True, that was my mistake it
- 3:35:59originally. Made you a Rangers.
- 3:36:01Fan and I had to change it obviously.
- 3:36:03But regardless, we got one more story and this.
- 3:36:07Is for everyone. Did you guys see?
- 3:36:09This look at this outfit, and it wasn't just.
- 3:36:13KD and Anthony. Edwards clowning this fit by
- 3:36:17SGAI. Read some other people
- 3:36:19commenting on it as the peanut butter suit.
- 3:36:22I was just about to say it looks like he smeared peanut butter on
- 3:36:24himself. Smeared peanut butter?
- 3:36:26Well, Anthony Edwards had some jokes walking around looking
- 3:36:30like the Rick James couch. And then KD said.
- 3:36:36Homie look like the bronze kneecap, let's just say.
- 3:36:43And then on top of that. You have to remember that SGA
- 3:36:47was last year's GQ's most stylish man.
- 3:36:52Errol, I don't know, maybe you're going to surprise me and
- 3:36:56support this look, but we can only find out once you dial it
- 3:37:01up. I love that.
- 3:37:03SGA goes. Out there and he he, he wants to
- 3:37:06show people who he is as a personality.
- 3:37:09I am not going to attack him or make jokes.
- 3:37:12Because he wants to go out there in public and look like a a
- 3:37:15giant bumblebee. I don't know.
- 3:37:17What the hell would you rock that?
- 3:37:20Listen, if I'm making his kind of money, absolutely I would
- 3:37:23rock that 100%. What about right now?
- 3:37:26Would you rock that right now? Well, I'm not making that kind
- 3:37:28of money yet. Yeah, well, if listen, I don't
- 3:37:32know how much he's getting paid to wear that.
- 3:37:35How do we know what he's? Getting paid to wear that, some
- 3:37:37designers telling him. To wear his stuff, remembering
- 3:37:40he's come out and. Said it.
- 3:37:41And if anybody hasn't gone on Netflix and checked out the.
- 3:37:45What is it the? The starting 5 or whatever the
- 3:37:47hell they call it. Starting 5, he says it, he says
- 3:37:50I don't wear my outfits more than once.
- 3:37:53OK, so if somebody is asking him to wear this outfit to to just
- 3:37:59style it up, he's probably making 100 grand off of it.
- 3:38:04To me, I'm absolutely doing it and I'm not going to attack it
- 3:38:09because to me it's SGA. This guy was the MVP of the
- 3:38:12league. He's got style, he knows how to
- 3:38:15dress, and there's nobody that dresses like him quite like him.
- 3:38:19So. So I I is it weird?
- 3:38:21Yeah. Is it a weird look?
- 3:38:23Yeah. Why am I even listening to
- 3:38:25Anthony Edwards, by the way? If there's a clown out there
- 3:38:28that I'm not listening to, it's Anthony freaking Edwards on
- 3:38:32style, though. Like if Russell Westbrook was
- 3:38:34saying this, I probably, I Well, do.
- 3:38:37I mean, he's a diner now, dude. Russ.
- 3:38:40So is SGASGA has his? Own style.
- 3:38:43He's his own shirts now. Russell Westbrook's been in the
- 3:38:46game, dude. Russell Westbrook is like.
- 3:38:50AI don't know what I've seen him wear like clown suits to the I
- 3:38:53know stadium. I mean, he's still getting paid
- 3:38:55and people are still. Wearing his clothes.
- 3:38:56I know and and I think SJ. SGA is going to be in that same,
- 3:39:00you know, same position to do that.
- 3:39:04Honestly, I I think SGA. Knows what style is.
- 3:39:08I've seen what he wears and I I think this is style.
- 3:39:11I think it's different. I think it's different.
- 3:39:14I think it's certainly. Different, not style though.
- 3:39:17How do you know what it is? Have you ever worn it?
- 3:39:20Where's his Dick print though? He.
- 3:39:21Got a small wrench? How do you know?
- 3:39:25Have you put your? Hands in his pants.
- 3:39:27I mean, seriously. Let's ask his wife.
- 3:39:30Here's the idea. I'm going to make you wear a
- 3:39:32tie. But.
- 3:39:34No one will see it. At all.
- 3:39:36Listen, it's just going to be so I I'm going to.
- 3:39:42Let you guys know something I didn't either.
- 3:39:44I'm into fashion and I I create. My own designs and stuff like
- 3:39:48that. I don't wear something like this
- 3:39:50but I have done. Things and worn things.
- 3:39:52That people are telling me like, what are you trying to be here?
- 3:39:55And I said I want to be different.
- 3:39:57So does he have 1/2 Cape over his left arm?
- 3:40:00Is that what that is like What? What is that like?
- 3:40:04The like like a Carmel version of the Count of Monte.
- 3:40:08Cristo with with sunglasses. Maybe he's trying to be a new
- 3:40:11superhero. Who knows?
- 3:40:13I don't know. Like Blade.
- 3:40:15Like Caramel Blade. By the way, action figure.
- 3:40:17By the way, I could care less what Kevin Durant and his fake
- 3:40:21Twitter accounts have. To say too.
- 3:40:22So no, he's on his real ones now.
- 3:40:24He's. All growned up, KD.
- 3:40:27He's all growned up now. He's growned up all right.
- 3:40:29He's growned up in and probably not grown in his pants, and
- 3:40:32that's probably why he's looking.
- 3:40:34At his crotch, anyways. Yeah, that's it.
- 3:40:37That's that style. I will say this, when a guy goes
- 3:40:42out like that, he's got to be sure about himself and SGA
- 3:40:47really is sure about himself. When he goes out like.
- 3:40:50That so I, I respect him. I don't know if I saw SGA right
- 3:40:55now and I, we, we had him on the show.
- 3:40:56I'd, I'd be like, yo, bro, you know how to, you know the style
- 3:41:00man, you, you find a way to, to really stand out from everybody
- 3:41:04else. And that's what you want to do
- 3:41:06with style and fashion. That's all you want to do.
- 3:41:08You want to stand out. That's all point of it, even if
- 3:41:11it's weird and it's ugly, you want to stand out because if
- 3:41:15somebody sees you wear it, they're going to want to buy it.
- 3:41:18And that's what SGA is doing. He's wearing probably one of his
- 3:41:21boys outfits or maybe some designer that asked him to wear
- 3:41:25it and he's making money off of it.
- 3:41:27And you can't hate on a guy that's trying to make a couple
- 3:41:29of bucks. So I'm not going to hate on it.
- 3:41:32I I think it looks good. I why not SGA?
- 3:41:34If you want to send a, a style like that to me, I'll wear it on
- 3:41:37this show. I don't give a yeah, SGA.
- 3:41:39It's an extra medium, extra medium.
- 3:41:44And dude, you wait till you meet me, you extra, medium extra.
- 3:41:49Medium. This guy has no idea.
- 3:41:52He has no idea. But whatever you're five, 10200.
- 3:41:55Pounds. I've seen him all day, every
- 3:41:57day. I'm dude.
- 3:41:58I'm 510. 200 and. 5 lbs and I can do 130 push ups without
- 3:42:02stopping. Could you do that?
- 3:42:04Hey, could you do that? Nobody.
- 3:42:05Cares, could you do that? How many push ups could you do?
- 3:42:08In the latex caramel suit with the and the frills speedy, what
- 3:42:12did How many did I do when we were at that when we did our
- 3:42:15other? Live show I think I did like.
- 3:42:17It was, at least. 50 I don't it was more than that.
- 3:42:19It was 90 Miller's house. Because.
- 3:42:22No. Because what's?
- 3:42:23His name again, Justin did 75. So I did.
- 3:42:27I did, I think 90. Without stopping I.
- 3:42:29Was wearing coat and everything. So I, I listen, you could say
- 3:42:34whatever you want about me. I I'm in shape, man.
- 3:42:38So whatever. What is doing 100 straight push
- 3:42:41ups do for you? Nothing.
- 3:42:42Yeah. Well, you tell me.
- 3:42:43I'm small. I'm definitely not small.
- 3:42:45I'm a lot bigger than you think. I'm smaller than me.
- 3:42:47You know, you're 6, three. That's about it.
- 3:42:50I'm a lot bigger than you think I am.
- 3:42:53I'm not, no. Small little pecker.
- 3:42:54OK. So if that's what you think
- 3:42:56bigger than me. So what is?
- 3:42:58Doing 100 push ups do not nothing dude.
- 3:43:02Any day you want to get into an Octagon with me and you can
- 3:43:04bench 7000 lbs? What's that dude?
- 3:43:06I didn't say that I didn't. Say that I.
- 3:43:08Could bench. Today I benched.
- 3:43:10Three O 5, about 5-6 times. That's all.
- 3:43:13No it doesn't. You want to get into an Octagon
- 3:43:16with me and wrestle. Or do whatever you want.
- 3:43:18Why? That's the dumbest thing ever.
- 3:43:20I'm 40 years old. I don't.
- 3:43:22I'm 43. Well.
- 3:43:24You're the one who's growing the.
- 3:43:25Balls. And telling me I'm small.
- 3:43:26And stuff like that. You are smaller than me, I'm
- 3:43:28just stating a fact. I'm smaller than you, but I'm
- 3:43:31not as small as what you think. I am, so I'm not saying you're 5
- 3:43:34two. Well, that's what you dude.
- 3:43:36You're making jokes that I'm fighting.
- 3:43:38You say, oh, he's a little bit 5. 10 1/2 yeah, that's what you
- 3:43:44do. That's not making fun.
- 3:43:45That's stating a fat. Yeah, that's a fat.
- 3:43:47That's what a fact is that Errol?
- 3:43:48You know, like when you're playing sports like there's like
- 3:43:51tall and then there's like sports tall.
- 3:43:53Like Job is tall normal but he's not.
- 3:43:55Sports tall. No, you know.
- 3:43:57Like Errol, you're you're not. Short, but like if you were a
- 3:44:01professional athlete, you'd be one of the shorter guys in a
- 3:44:04room, depending on what sport you know.
- 3:44:06I mean maybe not in horse jockeys or something, but like
- 3:44:10in a lot of sports the best 10 short dude there are there are
- 3:44:14probably 3 of the. 4 best hockey players in the.
- 3:44:17Country in the world besides Connor McDavid are between 511
- 3:44:21and 6 foot, so that's. Interesting you say that.
- 3:44:25I have one to start off our last segment.
- 3:44:29How wonderful. What are we going?
- 3:44:31I'm not an X as an O's guy, right?
- 3:44:32I'm not a tactician. I'm a motivator in the.
- 3:44:35Classic sense of the word, you know, Lombardi, Charles
- 3:44:37Lindbergh, that nun over in India like.
- 3:44:39Those people call your. Shot.
- 3:44:45Man, Errol, you set me up perfectly because I'm talking
- 3:44:48about one of your heroes. For Call Your Shot tonight, I'm
- 3:44:54going to give you a list. And the list has 6 names on it.
- 3:44:58Or Coffee, McGinnis, Leach, Pot, Van and Carlson.
- 3:45:07Those are the six defensemen in hockey history that have gotten
- 3:45:11100 points. I'm calling my shot.
- 3:45:14It's not this year. I think it's next year.
- 3:45:17Matthew Schaefer will be the next player that gets 100 points
- 3:45:22as a defenseman in the National Hockey League.
- 3:45:25This kid has five goals and five assists in his first 12 games in
- 3:45:28the league. He is awesome.
- 3:45:31You guys got a freaking stud over there.
- 3:45:34I have a feeling he is the next great defenseman in the league.
- 3:45:38100 points. He will be the seventh guy on
- 3:45:43the 100 point list for defenseman.
- 3:45:45All right, I guess it's me because I don't I Jabba left.
- 3:45:49I guess the Jabba Jabba bounce looks like he's.
- 3:45:53Yeah, looks like he's not in. All right.
- 3:45:54Oh, he's got to go, all right. Yep.
- 3:45:56All right, so I hinted at you and the private chat.
- 3:45:58Fish. I'm going to do mine on Hugh
- 3:46:00Freeze and Hugh Freeze. Recently fired by Auburn.
- 3:46:03So my Collier shot is just that he's going to get another SEC
- 3:46:08job. The most likely team, probably
- 3:46:10Arkansas, because I think they're going to be the most
- 3:46:11desperate for looking for a football coach.
- 3:46:13You saw them spend big with Calipari to get a basketball
- 3:46:15coach, and they're a better basketball program than that.
- 3:46:17Like they have not been a good football program.
- 3:46:19But either way, if it's not them, there's going to be a lot
- 3:46:21of SEC jobs opening for many other reasons.
- 3:46:23Somebody's going to take the Florida job.
- 3:46:25Somebody's going to take the LSU job.
- 3:46:27There's young coaches like Drinkowitz and and Shane Beamer
- 3:46:30in South Carolina that could get upgrades on different jobs.
- 3:46:32We've heard rumors of Sarkisian maybe going to the NFLI.
- 3:46:35Don't know why, but could make a vacancy at Texas for one of
- 3:46:39those coaches and that spot could be another team for for
- 3:46:42free. I think somebody will be
- 3:46:43desperate. I think most likely Arkansas
- 3:46:45bites will say Hugh Freeze despite his woes this year with
- 3:46:48Auburn. We'll get another SEC job as its
- 3:46:49next job. All right, all right.
- 3:46:55My final one is Nick Goody will return to the Major League.
- 3:47:00I'm just kidding. Jabba will be the Yankees ball
- 3:47:07boy. I'm just kidding.
- 3:47:10That is someone that's got all the balls now.
- 3:47:11Jabba said he didn't have that issue.
- 3:47:15All right, let's I'm going to go baseball.
- 3:47:20I'm going to go. I'm going to.
- 3:47:22Pull. One out of my hat.
- 3:47:23And I believe. Remember I said this, that the
- 3:47:28New York Mets will be facing the Dodgers in the.
- 3:47:35NLCS. Next year to to earn their way
- 3:47:41to a world. Series I didn't.
- 3:47:42Say they're going to the World Series, that I believe the Mets
- 3:47:46will make a couple of moves. In the offseason, they'll bring
- 3:47:50Tarik in. I think they're going to add a
- 3:47:53little, add a little relief pitching in their offseason.
- 3:47:56They're going to sign Pete Alonso.
- 3:47:58I think they'll make that trade with Detroit and I believe the
- 3:48:02New York Mets will go to the NLCS to face off against the
- 3:48:06Dodgers to earn their way into a World Series.
- 3:48:09So that's my prediction. Mets to the NLCS next year.
- 3:48:15So and you know what's crazy? Because the this is a strike
- 3:48:21year. And it's very fitting that the
- 3:48:23Mets would do something like this.
- 3:48:24They'll, they'll, they have a chance to be really, really
- 3:48:27good. Remember Montreal, during the
- 3:48:29strike time, they had a chance to possibly be the best team in
- 3:48:33the National League. And then the strike happened and
- 3:48:36then everything fell flat on their face.
- 3:48:38And then eventually they went to Washington.
- 3:48:40I'm not saying that's going to happen to the Mets, but next
- 3:48:43year before the strike, this is a strike year before the, before
- 3:48:48the strike. And I could just see the Mets
- 3:48:50making a run and, and going to the NLCS and maybe knocking off
- 3:48:54the Dodgers and going to the a World Series.
- 3:48:56So I, that's just my prediction. I I think the Mets are going to
- 3:48:59be a lot better next year than they were this year.
- 3:49:01And I I think Steve Cohen is going to open up his pockets as
- 3:49:05we heard Mr. Yeah, we heard the Mr. Steiner say that he is going
- 3:49:11to spin the wheel and make the deal in the offseason.
- 3:49:14Just figure a scripted angle. Sports are scripted 40 years
- 3:49:17from 86. Yeah, I think the Mets are going
- 3:49:19to be a lot better than people think next year.
- 3:49:21So I even though I can't stand Juan Soto.
- 3:49:25I expect this team to be elite. Next year, and they're going to
- 3:49:30add pitching and they're going to add Tarek.
- 3:49:32I'm telling you, if there's anybody, and, and I'm not saying
- 3:49:35who, but I was told that Detroit is not paying Tarek in the
- 3:49:39offseason. They're not.
- 3:49:41Under no circumstances are they going to spend over $400 million
- 3:49:45on a pitcher. So they're moving them So, and
- 3:49:48the only team that I can see making a move like that to give
- 3:49:51away the prospects that they're going to be asking for is the
- 3:49:55Mets. And I think the Mets are going
- 3:49:57to do whatever it takes to win a championship next year.
- 3:49:59Before the strike, expect Steve Cohen to spin the wheel and make
- 3:50:03the deal. So remember, I said Jamie Lee
- 3:50:06Stearns is not getting fired this year.
- 3:50:07If he doesn't do anything this year, Mets still struggle next
- 3:50:10year, Yes. Then I'm telling you, Tarek will
- 3:50:12be a Met. I'm telling you, that's another
- 3:50:15thing that you could. Book too.

- 3:51:59What he was arrested for. And now we're seeing what many

- 3:52:09coming out with a book and. And now it's starting.
- 3:52:12Everything's starting to hit the fan about the NBA and.

- 3:52:23fun with this interview. I'm going to tell you this right
- 3:52:25now. It's a must listen to.
- 3:52:28If you don't know who Tim Donaghy is, look it up and look
- 3:52:32him up. He was a part, I remember of the
- 3:52:36Sacramento Lakers series, Sacramento Spurs series.
- 3:52:42He has been a big part of the back end of the NBA.
- 3:52:46Why? The NBA is really trying to
- 3:52:47protect themselves with these betting scandals and I think he
- 3:52:52is. I'm going to get out some
- 3:52:54interesting information for all the fans that are into the NBA
- 3:52:57and sports betting. Why Tim Donaghy shouldn't be I
- 3:53:03wouldn't say he's not. He wasn't a problem, but he
- 3:53:06shouldn't be all to blame what the NBA is transitioned into.
- 3:53:09That's that's my opinion and I think Tim Donaghy is going to
- 3:53:13express his feelings towards towards the NBA when he comes on
- 3:53:17this show on Wednesday. So stay tuned and get ready for
- 3:53:20a great interview. We're very excited for this.
- 3:53:22This is something very, very big and he's been only on a couple
- 3:53:26of shows, a couple of marketing shows and for him to come on our
- 3:53:31show says a lot about what he thinks of us.
- 3:53:33So we really appreciate him for joining us on Wednesday.
