• 4:36
  A lot with the college football, I will be going to the Heisman
• 4:41
  Trophy induction. So I I don't know what's going
• 4:45
  to happen, but it seems like Mendoza is the the favorite,
• 4:49
  the, the full favorites. Now, to win the whole thing and
• 4:53
  as, as well as he should, After knocking off Ohio, State, and
• 4:56
  we'll get into that in just a few moments which was, it wasn't
• 5:00
  upset, but I don't know how much of an upset was it, but I it's
• 5:04
  been a crazy weekend. The weather's been back and
• 5:07
  forth and honestly I actually like the weather because it's,
• 5:11
  it's been staying cold. But what I don't like about the
• 5:14
  weather, is it gets moisty in here.
• 5:18
  I want to get some moisty in the air as.
• 5:19
  Yeah. I know you.
• 5:20
  I knew Java was gonna look at his head but when it gets when
• 5:25
  it gets like that, obviously, I I don't like I don't like how
• 5:30
  cold it gets and foggy gets at night and I did an event over
• 5:35
  the weekends. I was in Queens.
• 5:38
  And this hotel called the Doubletree.
• 5:41
  I was DJing a runway show and I've never seen anything.
• 5:45
  Like it fans. They just DoubleTree.
• 5:47
  Still have the cookies. I guess I didn't eat any of the
• 5:50
  cookies. I actually had their chicken
• 5:53
  fingers, so they, they were giving away.
• 5:54
  They had food out for all the people that were coming to the
• 5:58
  event. I actually had chicken fingers,
• 6:00
  there was actually pretty good. Yes, I had honey mustard, I was
• 6:03
  there honey mustard. The honey mustard was really
• 6:05
  good actually, I actually enjoyed it, they had these
• 6:08
  cucumber sandwiches, I don't I'm not a big cucumber fan, so but
• 6:13
  everybody kept, you know, raving about the cucumber sandwiches
• 6:16
  saw. I don't, I it, I guess it looked
• 6:19
  good, but it wasn't something that I would probably.
• 6:21
  But what was crazy about the event is they have this this
• 6:26
  room that they used so many, like, Runway shows, they do all
• 6:29
  these different events in this one particular room.
• 6:33
  But there is no Outlets. There was no Outlets to plug in
• 6:37
  any of my equipment. So I had to run like a bunch of
• 6:43
  different, you know, Outlet wires to different sections of
• 6:48
  the hotel because I had nowhere to plug my stuff, so it was
• 6:53
  horrible. And then, when I was packing up
• 6:55
  at the end of the night, I parked my car on the side right
• 6:58
  by the room and somebody backed into my car.
• 7:02
  Somebody backed into my car left of like a butt.
• 7:06
  You could tell that was like a couple of lines in my door.
• 7:10
  Thank God. It didn't put any dents into it
• 7:12
  but you could tell, I had to get it buffed out on Sunday.
• 7:14
  It was horrible. And I and again, all you have to
• 7:18
  do is come right inside and say, I apologize I bumped into your
• 7:22
  car, I probably by looking at it would have said, oh, nothing a
• 7:26
  buff. Couldn't get out of it, throw me
• 7:27
  a couple of bucks. I bring it to a professional and
• 7:30
  I would have been fine. But everybody here, York and I
• 7:34
  would say this, I wouldn't even just say New York everywhere you
• 7:37
  go, but it seems like every time somebody hits your car in New
• 7:40
  York. It's like, oh, it's okay.
• 7:42
  Let's play bumper cars. That doesn't matter.
• 7:44
  It's, it's just a car, you know? So unfortunately, my car, this
• 7:49
  was the second time in a week and a half my car has been hit.
• 7:52
  I was in a barbershop, what, was it a week and a half ago and I
• 7:57
  come out, my bumper, my bumper, there was nothing wrong with my
• 8:01
  bumper, but my, my trunk was open, so I thought somebody
• 8:05
  robbed something, but it wasn't wrong.
• 8:08
  Nothing was robbed. I realized that my trunk
• 8:11
  couldn't close. So I am looking at it.
• 8:13
  I'm trying to slam my trunk down and then I realized that it was
• 8:18
  like pushed in, at least two inches.
• 8:20
  So I had to go to my friend, he had a hammer it out.
• 8:23
  It was just, I mean, I thank God.
• 8:25
  Nothing happened to my bumper. So all these accidents that I
• 8:28
  was in or happened to me. I was not in the car and It's
• 8:33
  like a hit and run, it happens to me.
• 8:35
  Only happens to me, I got bad luck job.
• 8:38
  I don't know what it is, but it just seems like when it rains
• 8:41
  it, pours, when it comes to my car.
• 8:43
  And yeah, so that was my sign to get a new one.
• 8:47
  Well the fact is if you look at my car my car and Speedy will
• 8:52
  tell you my car. Looks brand new.
• 8:53
  Yeah I take really good care of my car.
• 8:55
  So it looks inside the leather looks like honestly, if you go
• 8:59
  into my car it looks like a brand new car.
• 9:02
  It looks like right out of the showroom.
• 9:03
  I am OCD when it comes to taking care of my car and all that, all
• 9:08
  that other stuff. But eventually I will get a new
• 9:10
  car but even now even with with it getting bumped into twice,
• 9:15
  you wouldn't know the difference because, again, I'm Anil.
• 9:18
  So I had my friend bumper, it got like buff it out on Sunday
• 9:22
  and he buffed everything out on the car.
• 9:24
  So it looks brand new shiny and already to go, but I just don't
• 9:29
  understand people. I just think, people just don't
• 9:32
  It's other people's property, take care of it or at least come
• 9:35
  in, then my friend who was doing the runway show.
• 9:38
  It was his it was his clothing clothing design.
• 9:42
  He comes out and he tells me well, didn't somebody put their
• 9:46
  number right by your windshield wipers or something like that?
• 9:49
  Leave their information. I'm like, who does that have
• 9:53
  anybody actually done that when they've hit your car?
• 9:56
  Actually, leave their information about that happened
• 9:59
  before, really? It's never happened to me
• 10:00
  before, never seen that before. So I especially here in New
• 10:04
  York, if that happens in New York, it's like a miracle.
• 10:07
  I mean, Moses split the sea. I mean, that kind of miracle,
• 10:12
  that doesn't happen. So unfortunately, I just have no
• 10:16
  luck whatsoever. So for any fans that parked
• 10:20
  their car and put their hazards on, don't park it in front of a
• 10:24
  hotel. If you want, or you want you
• 10:26
  make, you're trying to make sure that your car doesn't get
• 10:28
  totaled or something happens to it.
• 10:30
  So I I made that missed. Ache and boy.
• 10:33
  Oh boy, do I regret it? Speaking of not regretting
• 10:36
  things. Well, at 8:45.
• 10:38
  I'm not going to regret these two guys.
• 10:40
  We will be talking to Savannah. Bananas pitcher, Conor Harris,
• 10:44
  who's a big Joba Chamberlain fan.
• 10:47
  He'll be wearing job as Jersey and Savannah.
• 10:50
  Bananas coach, he's been on a show before and director Adam
• 10:54
  virus he will be joining us. He is fantastic.
• 10:58
  Great personality. He's been around since the
• 11:01
  Savannah bananas really started and he's been on a show I think
• 11:04
  multiple times. Yeah so he's Sensational and
• 11:08
  we're getting one of his players to come on a show so why not
• 11:11
  have one of the coaches. So it'll be very very fun.
• 11:13
  I it's speaking of just a crazy crazy weekend, a job.
• 11:17
  But before we get into it, you're taking care of your son.
• 11:21
  Your son's moving back to school going on a good first semester.
• 11:25
  He had his last final, um, clock today.
• 11:28
  And it was, it was just toughest.
• 11:30
  One is Biology one, and he been batt.
• 11:32
  On that one up, but still made the President's List of GPA
• 11:35
  stayed up. So proud of them for that.
• 11:37
  He's like, I'm just glad to get through this and he goes, I
• 11:39
  squeaked it out. So yeah, getting that got him.
• 11:43
  Got him back, he's running over to his mom's then of course, you
• 11:47
  know stops. Gets all of his stuff ready
• 11:50
  here. I got laundry money and a
• 11:53
  charger and so, yeah. And then we're gonna go grab
• 11:56
  some food and throw some laundry in, but I thought I'd stop and
• 11:59
  see the boys before kind of sit down.
• 12:01
  Just get him settled, and then he's home for freaking seven
• 12:04
  weeks. So, yeah, the brakes are a lot
• 12:07
  longer than they used to be. I don't remember when I was in
• 12:10
  college having a break that long and so, yes, even yeah.
• 12:13
  Even when I was in school, I was only like a month.
• 12:16
  Yeah. I mean, it's crazy and he's
• 12:18
  actually even going back early. Because their season starts,
• 12:20
  which in his crazy, too? He called me yesterday and he
• 12:24
  goes dad, you want to be our interim coach.
• 12:26
  And I'm like, what? What's going on?
• 12:28
  I guess they're, they're pitching coach.
• 12:30
  Literally took a job in the same conference and it's so funny.
• 12:34
  We have just literally talked about this and the Jayhawk
• 12:38
  league for junior. College is a great Baseball
• 12:40
  Conference. He's taking a head coaching job
• 12:43
  at Butler, which is in the same conference and literally is
• 12:46
  leaving like so he told him at their Christmas party and then
• 12:50
  he's leaving. So he's not even gonna be there
• 12:52
  for spring. So he Carter's like, I don't
• 12:53
  know what's going on right now, and I was like, oh, let me
• 12:56
  apply, let's see what happens. Let's see.
• 12:58
  But I'm like, it was interesting.
• 13:00
  So yeah. Are you applying I mean, I might
• 13:05
  as well. All I can tell me like, one
• 13:06
  thing. My dad always said, it's like
• 13:07
  all they can tell you is no right.
• 13:09
  So interesting, so we'll see. I mean obviously, you know, he's
• 13:13
  down there so but those would be, those would be interesting
• 13:16
  Mountain visits with if I have to go talk to Carter, what's
• 13:19
  your song in between a rough inning or something?
• 13:21
  But I don't know, she's nice to have them home, and it's just,
• 13:24
  it's always, you know, it's he's four hours away.
• 13:26
  So it's it's, you know, when he when he makes those trips back,
• 13:29
  it's a little old nervy for me, but he's made them plenty of
• 13:32
  time. But yeah, I got all his clothes
• 13:35
  and stuff back so um, you know, nice to have him home and, you
• 13:39
  know, just hanging out and get a work out with him, too.
• 13:41
  Which is gonna be really fun. We started throwing program and
• 13:44
  everything on Wednesday, I'm gonna try and hop on.
• 13:47
  Uh when we 845 right for yes Conor Harris is a big fan of
• 13:53
  yours. He's going to be wearing your
• 13:55
  jersey and he's excited to come on the show.
• 13:59
  And yeah, well you're a big part of the show.
• 14:01
  So I was surprised that you popped on at least, I thought
• 14:05
  you were driving back from Hampton so maybe you would just
• 14:08
  pop right on when you're driving because we've seen people do
• 14:10
  that before Nathan loves to do that.
• 14:12
  During the show. I've already had to change his
• 14:15
  name to. I hate technology again.
• 14:17
  All right, boys, have a good one.
• 14:21
  I'm gonna we'll see you soon. All Tune in there.
• 14:25
  It is Joba Chamberlain. Ladies and gentlemen, I love
• 14:28
  you. We love him too.
• 14:29
  And it's crazy because Java he told me on Sunday morning that
• 14:34
  he would not probably make this show.
• 14:36
  He might sneak in here and there.
• 14:38
  So I was very surprised that he popped in his early as he did,
• 14:41
  but appreciate him. And now he's applying for a
• 14:44
  pitching coaching job, I over there at Hampton very interest.
• 14:47
  Thing I I don't see why he doesn't get the job, its job a
• 14:51
  Chamberlain, but unless the coaching staff doesn't want it
• 14:55
  to mix father and son. I that's sometimes happens.
• 14:58
  And sometimes people and and obviously, coaching, staffs
• 15:01
  don't allow that but hey, I I wish him nothing but the best
• 15:04
  and he gets to go down there and hang out with his son.
• 15:06
  A couple of a couple of weeks a year.
• 15:09
  Actually, what is it baseball season over there is gotta be a
• 15:13
  couple of months but whatever on Saturday night.
• 15:15
  Number two, Indiana upset number one.
• 15:18
  Oh, Iowa State 13 to 10 in the Big Ten championship game to
• 15:23
  finish the regular season, undefeated.
• 15:25
  And as the Undisputed, number one overall seed in college
• 15:30
  football and the college football, playoff, it was
• 15:33
  Indiana's First share of the Big Ten title since 1967 and the
• 15:39
  first time they wanted on its own since 1945.
• 15:43
  They all show ended a 30 to Game losing streak versus Ohio State
• 15:50
  winning for the first time since 1988 the Buckeyes star receiver.
• 15:56
  Jeremiah Smith had a big game for Ohio State with eight
• 16:00
  catches for 144 yards but Indiana contained the Buckeyes
• 16:06
  running game, holding them to only a total of 69 yards in what
• 16:10
  was a defensive battle throughout the night.
• 16:13
  It was the special teams that hurt the Buckeyes in the end as
• 16:19
  their field goal. Kicker.
• 16:21
  Missed a Chip Shot 27 yard field goal to tie the game with under
• 16:27
  three minutes in the game. After driving the field for the
• 16:31
  most, for most of the fourth after outlasting say in and the
• 16:38
  Buckeyes Fernando Mendoza is in the driver's seat for the
• 16:41
  Heisman Trophy at a minus 2500. While Julian sayings odds Tanked
• 16:48
  to plus 50,000 after the Lost after the loss, their bill to
• 16:54
  Diego. Pavia is second in the odds at
• 16:58
  plus 1400 with Notre. Dame's running back love.
• 17:03
  Which is third at four. What is it?
• 17:06
  40,000 plus 40,000, despite the loss.
• 17:10
  Ohio State Still Remains the number two in the college
• 17:13
  football playoff ranking and they're only lost to number one
• 17:19
  in Indiana. Well, I pretty much made that
• 17:22
  prediction. For the first two weeks of the
• 17:25
  season. And I got to give a shout out to
• 17:27
  Josh silverbird, because he's been saying and all season long
• 17:30
  that and those are gonna win the Heisman Trophy.
• 17:33
  What's interesting? About the Heisman Trophy and and
• 17:37
  these candidates and these guys fighting for the, the number one
• 17:41
  player of the nation for the season.
• 17:45
  And for the year is really what they do through quarters and
• 17:51
  Every season has a quarter, there's the first half a
• 17:54
  quarter, there's a second half a quarter third and then there's
• 17:56
  forth at the end of the season and Mendoza's been the most
• 17:59
  efficient out of all the players that we just made we named the
• 18:04
  Buckeyes, Jeremiah Smith to me is one of the best players in
• 18:07
  the nation. But again, this is really and
• 18:10
  the MVP usually goes to a quarterback last year when to a
• 18:14
  cornerback, it doesn't usually happen like that it.
• 18:18
  And again there were quarterbacks involved.
• 18:20
  Last year Gabriel was a part of the Heisman Trophy and then
• 18:23
  obviously Ward cam Ward, who was the number one pick by the
• 18:27
  Titan's. So it usually is a quarterback
• 18:31
  that wins the Heisman Trophy but last year just there were it as
• 18:35
  a fishing quarterbacks as their word this year and saying was
• 18:39
  Sensational. It's not like saying is not
• 18:42
  going to get a chance to win another highs me next year.
• 18:44
  He's a freshman next year, he's going to be a sophomore and he
• 18:47
  has a chance to really a erupt with Jeremiah Smith.
• 18:51
  Final year over there with the Buckeyes.
• 18:52
  The Buckeyes, have a great recruiting class once again and
• 18:56
  they're going to be up to winning another national
• 18:58
  championship and they still have they could still win the
• 19:00
  national championship. This year has, they're probably
• 19:03
  heavy favorites still to win the national championship.
• 19:06
  And if I was Indiana, I probably wouldn't have wanting to want it
• 19:11
  to win the Big Ten title and I would have just waited for, you
• 19:15
  know, the national championship if I would have had to meet the
• 19:19
  Buckeyes again, that was where I would want to be him because the
• 19:23
  Buckeyes are they don't. Usually, first of all, they
• 19:25
  haven't lost the game all season long, and now you got to play
• 19:29
  him a second time in a national championship game and beat them.
• 19:33
  I think the odds are against them.
• 19:35
  And again, men doses, been Sensational when didn't have one
• 19:40
  of those unbelievable games for, for the Big Ten Championship.
• 19:43
  Know you again, his numbers were in just like, like 300 yards, he
• 19:50
  threw three, Touchdowns the game was 13 to 10.
• 19:53
  It Was Won by a field goal. So it wasn't like mandoza,
• 19:57
  pulled off pulled off all the stops and he was Sensational and
• 20:01
  he did what you expected a Heisman Trophy winner to do.
• 20:04
  Because if you, if you looked at the last five, four or five
• 20:08
  games of the tail end of the season and with Texas, and what
• 20:11
  Arch Manning is doing, I that's a Highsmith Trophy winner now,
• 20:16
  Arch is not up for eyes. I mean this year because he
• 20:18
  started very, very slow. Texas is not making the final
• 20:21
  12. He's not making the tournament.
• 20:23
  So it aren't just gonna have a chance next year to to make
• 20:27
  another run for a Heisman Trophy and so will say in who has is
• 20:31
  going to be back with the Buckeyes back with day and, and
• 20:34
  back with one of the best defenses in all of the country.
• 20:38
  But again, I look at this particular game and what really
• 20:43
  stood out is it was the Battle of the two best teams in the
• 20:46
  nation. Both of them are Big, Ten teams.
• 20:48
  And again both teams are expected to make that run.
• 20:52
  You talk about and we're going to get in to the college
• 20:56
  playoff. And we're going to talk about
• 20:58
  Alabama, sneaking in and all these other teams and Order Dane
• 21:01
  getting screwed. But you look at these Heisman
• 21:04
  Trophy candidates Diego. Pavia is going to, he was one of
• 21:08
  the best quarterbacks in a nation this year.
• 21:11
  He was, he was one at Vanderbilt, he was Sensational
• 21:14
  all season long. The problem is he's not in NFL
• 21:17
  quarterback, he is probably not going to be drafted and if he
• 21:21
  is, he's going to be a walk-on for a team that's going to have
• 21:24
  him walk on and maybe he makes team, maybe doesn't we've seen a
• 21:27
  lot of people? A lot of players not be drafted
• 21:30
  and they'll walk ons and become either.
• 21:32
  They make the team or their they play on the practice team and
• 21:35
  then maybe they get called up. But the kid you offensive tackle
• 21:38
  that played for the Chiefs last night.
• 21:40
  Who came in, I think for Simpson I don't know a pulo whatever I
• 21:44
  don't see him out of what. So you might it's gonna be hard
• 21:47
  for your friends. Know.
• 21:49
  Wasn't motto. Was it motto?
• 21:50
  Okay. He was the right tackle.
• 21:52
  They drafted last year? No, no, it was, somebody else.
• 21:54
  He was undrafted. I came in with the Chiefs last
• 21:58
  night, go look at up, he played very well against the Texans and
• 22:02
  he actually played for the Jets a little bit this year and then
• 22:05
  that jet stop them and the cheese.
• 22:06
  Spawned him back, he was an undrafted player.
• 22:08
  I think his name is puyo was something I don't know.
• 22:11
  You could find that essay as a pelear.
• 22:14
  He came in. He actually played very well
• 22:16
  last night and he was an undrafted player and maybe the
• 22:21
  Chiefs found something with him. He was dropped for a back
• 22:24
  dropped again. And then brought back, Again,
• 22:27
  I'm not saying poverty is not going to be a competent
• 22:30
  quarterback in the NFL. I don't know if he's his body
• 22:33
  structure and and the way he plays is going to fit in the
• 22:36
  NFL, he reminds me of Tim Tebow. That's what he reminds me of,
• 22:39
  obviously, a lot smaller than Tim Tebow.
• 22:42
  I think Pavia, if I'm not mistaken, he's five eight.
• 22:45
  He's really, really small thin too.
• 22:48
  And he's got a good arm, but he doesn't have one of those arms
• 22:52
  like Arch Manning does or even men those.
• 22:54
  So I don't think he's got the ability to or the the athletic
• 22:59
  gifts that some of these guys have and he definitely doesn't
• 23:02
  have the size to be in NFL quarterback, but he's been one
• 23:05
  of the best quarterbacks in the country all season long as as he
• 23:09
  should be on the top five for the Heisman and then there's
• 23:12
  Notre Dame's running back love, who has been one of the more
• 23:16
  explosive running backs in all of the nation.
• 23:18
  He will be in this year's draft. He could be a first round
• 23:21
  Talent. Some people think he could be a
• 23:24
  late first round pick. I don't know if they have A
• 23:27
  running back like a Gibbs in this class where I'm going to,
• 23:30
  you know, obviously reach and and make that kind of move.
• 23:33
  But love is going to be a guy. That's going to be drafted very
• 23:37
  early in in this draft and he's an explosive player.
• 23:41
  He's probably one of the better running backs that we've seen
• 23:44
  come out of Notre Dame in the last 20 years.
• 23:47
  And I I think what makes this what makes this class very
• 23:51
  interesting is that there is not a guy that really stands out
• 23:55
  that you can really choose and everybody says it's meant those
• 24:00
  because of this game and winning, and knocking off the
• 24:03
  Ohio, State Buckeyes the way he did.
• 24:05
  He didn't really show up in the game because he didn't put up
• 24:08
  those crazy numbers. But to me, there is no sure
• 24:13
  thing in this class this year, I look at saying he's a rookie.
• 24:17
  He's a freshman, the last freshman to win eyes, man.
• 24:19
  Well, was it it was if I'm not Johnny Manziel, right?
• 24:22
  Johnny Manziel and then Tim Tebow was the last one before
• 24:25
  that so Johnny Manziel was the last one to win a Heisman as a
• 24:29
  freshman saying, it would have had to do like a significant
• 24:33
  amount to win. And I know a lot of people when
• 24:36
  they look at the vagus and the voting, I I didn't think Satan
• 24:39
  had any chance of winning the Heisman Trophy this year.
• 24:43
  I really did. I thought it was either going to
• 24:46
  be, I definitely thought Mendoza.
• 24:48
  Even if Mendoza did not show up in this game, I thought, man,
• 24:51
  Dozer was the heavy favorite of winning.
• 24:53
  The Heisman Trophy just because of what Indiana has done all
• 24:57
  season long. Indiana should not be the number
• 24:59
  two in a country. Now, they're number one because
• 25:01
  they knocked off the number one. I'll have to State Buckeyes, but
• 25:04
  I did not think that Indiana would have been a top five team
• 25:08
  this year and would have been really a favorite to win winning
• 25:12
  a national championship. And one of the main reasons why
• 25:15
  is their coach and Fernando Mendoza who came honestly?
• 25:19
  Meant those was good last year but he came out of nowhere this
• 25:23
  year and really became a heavy favorite to be a high Heisman
• 25:26
  Trophy. Winner with his arm strength is
• 25:28
  his ability at the end of games making plays big play after big
• 25:32
  play and he's really shown himself as it as an elite
• 25:37
  quarterback in this class. Now I are is he worth if the
• 25:42
  joints are sitting there at one, is he worth a team jumping up if
• 25:47
  the Johnson willing to trade that first pick for to, for
• 25:50
  somebody to jump up to get those?
• 25:52
  Is he worth to first round draft picks or three first round draft
• 25:56
  picks? I don't know.
• 25:58
  I don't know if he's worth that kind of that kind of chump
• 26:01
  change. So I just I look at this
• 26:04
  situation at Mendoza and I think Mendoza, I know a lot of Jeff
• 26:07
  fans want Mendoza. I been I've been reading all
• 26:10
  these different stories like we give up.
• 26:12
  I give up all the draft picks that they just traded for when
• 26:16
  it came to show us Garner to Atlanta.
• 26:18
  I would not do that as good as men goes.
• 26:21
  Ah looks and as good as he's been all season long Mendoza.
• 26:24
  The NFL look shoulder Sanders, say whatever you want, shoulders
• 26:28
  was accompanying quarterback in college football.
• 26:31
  He was, he was copying. He was a good quarterback and
• 26:34
  look how long it took Caleb Williams to figure things out.
• 26:37
  Are you willing? To do those kind of things to to
• 26:41
  move up like look Justin Fields. I if I'm not mistaken Chicago
• 26:45
  made a trade with the Giants and moved up and traded, I think,
• 26:49
  two first rounds here. First round picks that became
• 26:51
  canarius. Tony, and evil.
• 26:52
  I'm just saying. It doesn't matter who it was.
• 26:55
  I know. Was he worked too first round,
• 26:57
  draft picks. He wasn't.
• 26:58
  You got to be very careful on trading away, your future for a
• 27:03
  quarterback. You're still kind of iffy with
• 27:06
  now. He's got the ability reminds me
• 27:08
  of and I'm gonna say this reminds me of Joe burrow.
• 27:11
  He's a pocket, president quarterback, he has some kind of
• 27:15
  footwork outside of the pocket, but he's not a mobile
• 27:18
  quarterback and the game has changed.
• 27:20
  Now the game is completely different.
• 27:22
  You have to be a dual threat quarterback to succeed in the
• 27:26
  league. Now you really do.
• 27:28
  I mean, when you look at the guys that are in the league that
• 27:32
  are in the leak, now that aren't to a threats.
• 27:34
  How many have been successful? How many are successful right
• 27:38
  now? I mean right now, Matthew
• 27:40
  Stafford Jared Goff. There are really a lot of
• 27:46
  quarterbacks that are in the NFL today that are not dual threats.
• 27:51
  And that's meant, those have been those.
• 27:54
  I don't I I know everybody says well he's got footwork, but he's
• 27:58
  not considered a mobile quarterback so that you're, if
• 28:01
  you're a team like Vegas or the Jets or The Saints and you're
• 28:07
  you're going to make a, you know, make a choice on who your
• 28:11
  future quarterback is going to be for the next five to ten
• 28:14
  years. You've got to be very sure and
• 28:16
  very careful on making a move and putting all your eggs in
• 28:20
  mandoza basket. And I don't care what any Jet
• 28:24
  fan says. The Jets have made enough
• 28:26
  mistakes over the years, with Zach Wilson, I wouldn't say the
• 28:29
  guy over there and Seattle's a mistake but it took him a Sam.
• 28:32
  Donald it took Sam a little bit longer than usual for a
• 28:35
  quarterback to develops. You know Smith took him a while
• 28:38
  to develop and she knows like been up and down in his career
• 28:41
  we could go on and Christian Hackenberg.
• 28:43
  You have to be damn sure. If you're gonna jump, not I
• 28:47
  don't know where the Jets are going to end up.
• 28:48
  Picking, they could be fifth. It depends on how how the rest
• 28:53
  of the season lands for them. They have four games left.
• 28:55
  I there's a good chance, they don't win any of those games
• 28:58
  because they're going to be starting cook.
• 28:59
  So where will the Jets be drafting at five four, seven,
• 29:04
  wherever they that Wherever they start to, you know, similar to
• 29:08
  to fall. Into are the Jets willing at
• 29:13
  number five, to move up to one with the Giants or move up to
• 29:16
  two to jump Vegas or the Saints to land, man Doja and give up a
• 29:21
  significant type of, you know, amount of picks to get that type
• 29:25
  of quarterback. I don't know, I would do that.
• 29:27
  So that's that to me, is what I look at it at this Heisman
• 29:31
  class. And and where I look at the
• 29:34
  national championship, Mendoza has a lot of pressure on him
• 29:37
  because now a lot of people believe after what he did and
• 29:41
  what Indiana did to the Buckeyes on National Television knocking.
• 29:46
  The number one scene where everybody thought the Buckeyes
• 29:48
  were going into this tournament undefeated.
• 29:50
  A lot of people thought the Buckeyes were going to be
• 29:52
  undefeated All Season all the way into the national
• 29:55
  championship because in a talent that they have right now the
• 29:58
  Buckeyes are considered, they're considered to have the most
• 30:03
  Talent going into this class of the NFL draft.
• 30:06
  As a matter of fact, there is a prediction that's seven of their
• 30:11
  defensive and offensive players will be drafted in the first
• 30:15
  round seven. So just think about that.
• 30:19
  And the Buckeyes their class next year.
• 30:21
  I mean, they're recruiting classes.
• 30:23
  One of the top three in the nation.
• 30:24
  So, and saying there's a freshman, he's gonna be up there
• 30:28
  again for a Heisman Trophy next year, if he stays healthy.
• 30:31
  So I, I mean, I I watch bits and pieces of the game.
• 30:35
  I I watched the kicks and and I and again this was really it was
• 30:40
  a battle of defense's and Indiana who's been very good
• 30:43
  defensively all season long. I was impressed with the way,
• 30:47
  they defended the Buckeyes, they couldn't stop him Jeremiah Smith
• 30:51
  and nobody can stop Jeremiah Smith.
• 30:53
  He's the best wide receiver. We've seen come out over the
• 30:56
  last 10 years and everybody was talking about obviously there
• 31:00
  was a former son of a former great player that came from the
• 31:03
  Buckeyes who went to Arizona recently.
• 31:06
  Well, what was it two years ago and really hasn't really
• 31:09
  amounted to anything and maybe he's with the wrong team, maybe
• 31:12
  gets traded in the future but Jeremiah Smith is a better
• 31:16
  Prospect than he is. So, think about it, think about
• 31:20
  this, if you look at the prospects in the wide receiving
• 31:23
  talent, that have come out of the Ohio State Buckeyes over the
• 31:26
  years, Garrett Wilson with the New York Jets.
• 31:27
  I mean, you could go on and on and on they're saying that this
• 31:30
  guy is the best one out of all of them.
• 31:32
  So I don't think anybody in the country can stop this guy and
• 31:36
  you saw it on national television and you're going to
• 31:39
  need Jeremiah Smith in this tournament.
• 31:41
  Because if Jeremiah Smith cannot put up significant numbers
• 31:46
  against these Elite defenses, it's going to be a very short
• 31:50
  tournament for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 31:51
  It's interesting because I think Indiana definitely has that vibe
• 31:55
  that you saw with the Florida basketball team last year or
• 31:57
  their new. Like, do they really belong or
• 32:00
  there's questions about that kind of thing, and the way
• 32:02
  Indiana was kind of struggling down the stretch with Wisconsin,
• 32:06
  was covering on them, West was right about that.
• 32:08
  That Penn State played them very close, almost, beat him with an
• 32:10
  interim coach and like, they didn't look great in a lot of
• 32:13
  instances, it took him a while to get going and like the second
• 32:15
  half of these games, where is Ohio State.
• 32:17
  It seemed like, They were losing a beat, they were not only
• 32:20
  winning, they felt like they were never tested at all and now
• 32:23
  they actually got tested. It like Indiana was just more
• 32:25
  battle tested for that kind of thing.
• 32:27
  And Mendoza was a more experienced as a starting
• 32:29
  quarterback. Like he said this is probably
• 32:30
  his first year as you kind of think of as an elite college
• 32:32
  quarterback but he was always good before that in compared to
• 32:35
  saying who maybe wasn't ready for that kind of adversity,
• 32:38
  tight moment yet because the Buckeyes have been blowing
• 32:41
  everybody out germ. Jeremiah Smith is gonna be like
• 32:43
  the generational Talent a wide receiver and then you got
• 32:45
  Carnell Tate who fish was mentioning last week probably
• 32:48
  will be a MidFirst round pick they're saying next year's class
• 32:51
  of talent is so much better than it is this year.
• 32:54
  That's what they're saying. Yeah, but they say that all the
• 32:56
  time, I remember with the the sauce Gardener draft, everybody
• 33:00
  says, oh the class is up and it's down and there's not enough
• 33:04
  talent in this class in. And if you look at the talent
• 33:06
  that was drafted in the first and second round, it's pretty
• 33:08
  damn good. I don't know if I'm gonna judge
• 33:11
  by, what? All the experts are saying,
• 33:13
  we've Mel Kiper has been wrong since 1962.
• 33:16
  I mean, the guys always wrong. So here's supposed to retire
• 33:19
  because Jimmy Clausen wasn't a good NFL quarter.
• 33:21
  Yeah. So I'm not gonna trust these
• 33:23
  quote on quote College experts. What I will say about what I've
• 33:28
  seen this year, when it comes to the open fight for this Heisman
• 33:32
  is that it's been so very close. Last year I thought Gente should
• 33:37
  have been The Runaway Champion. The highs control fee winner, He
• 33:40
  was by far the best player in the country all season long, but
• 33:43
  they gave it to the gremlin because he's a dual thread, he's
• 33:46
  a Deion Sanders guy and he was the spicy pick and that's what
• 33:51
  that's what it felt like when I went to the Heisman Trophy last
• 33:53
  year, it just felt like everybody was talking about him
• 33:56
  when he came in. Everybody was flocking to him.
• 33:58
  While Ashton Gente was putting up numbers, we haven't seen a
• 34:02
  Boise State running back due ever.
• 34:05
  I mean, we've never seen a boy, he's State running back to what
• 34:08
  he did last year. So I just and and we see it when
• 34:11
  gently is healthy, we see how explosive, he could be with
• 34:14
  Vegas and now they just sit and pretty at 2 if this ends up the
• 34:19
  way, it is guess when does is going He's going.
• 34:22
  So you have a guy that was runner up for the Heisman last
• 34:26
  year and then you have the guy that could win the Heisman this
• 34:29
  year. Complain for the same team.
• 34:30
  Yeah. And then you have Brock Bowers,
• 34:32
  who won, whatever award that the tight ends getting in college
• 34:34
  too. I think he won it twice because
• 34:35
  he was that good. And you look at you were talking
• 34:38
  about the Heisman too. You look at some of the Heisman
• 34:40
  races in the past two and how much adversity that carries into
• 34:42
  the college football playoff or carries into bigger games to
• 34:45
  you. So genti after he didn't win the
• 34:47
  Heisman struggle, in that, playoff game against Penn State
• 34:49
  and Penn State is very good defense, but you look at some of
• 34:52
  those races that just definitely affect them.
• 34:54
  And Mendoza was, not buy, that kind of thing at all where his
• 34:57
  numbers I popping in this game. No, it was a defensive duel that
• 34:59
  Indiana won with their defense. They want their running game
• 35:02
  more. But besides, that one
• 35:03
  interception, didn't make a lot of mistakes.
• 35:05
  He just think Indiana's defense outplayed, Ohio, State's
• 35:08
  defense, right. And that's the crazy thing.
• 35:10
  Because Ohio state has been the best defense, you can argue one
• 35:14
  of the top three defenses in the country all season long.
• 35:16
  And when you look at this schedule, Oh, Ohio State out of
• 35:19
  a very, very difficult schedule. I'm not saying Indiana.
• 35:22
  And, but Indiana's schedule was much easier than the Ohio State
• 35:25
  Buckeyes and, and that's the thing about the Buckeyes.
• 35:28
  And, and, and, and to me, the Buckeyes are always matched up
• 35:31
  against the great teams, the SEC, and you want to see, that's
• 35:34
  what that's, what day wants to do.
• 35:35
  Day, one day is a cocky coach, anybody?
• 35:39
  That knows, the way, the Ohio State Buckeyes play.
• 35:42
  And the way they like to, you know, depress in and the way
• 35:45
  they play the game, their style of game that Ryan day is, is one
• 35:50
  of those guys that you can't stand because he loves playing
• 35:54
  against the best. He loves flossing, flossing and
• 35:57
  tossing and doing all the stuff on the football field that you
• 36:00
  just can't stand watching a coach do, he's that kind of guy,
• 36:03
  he's a unlikable guy, but a lot of his players are elite
• 36:08
  players. They're the, there's some of the
• 36:10
  best in the world in the country and you want to see the Buckeyes
• 36:13
  play in those big games but you don't want to see Ryan day
• 36:16
  because every time you look at Ryan day, you want to pop him in
• 36:19
  the damn face with his stupid smirking and his dancing.
• 36:22
  And prancing around at the end of the game.
• 36:23
  And, and another thing about Ryan day that I just, I can't
• 36:26
  stand after Indiana won and they won the game and they, you know,
• 36:30
  how they meet in the middle of the field.
• 36:31
  You would think that you to be a little bit more gracious to the
• 36:36
  coaching staff with Indiana. It looked like you didn't even
• 36:39
  want to be there. He didn't even want to meet him
• 36:40
  in the middle of the fields. And and to me, it's just a soul.
• 36:43
  Loser, Ryan day is a sore loser and he knows there's a very good
• 36:48
  chance. They could need in the national
• 36:50
  championship game. Are you saying that Ryan days
• 36:52
  that Nick syriani of college football?
• 36:54
  Oh yeah. I think he's, he to me, I can't
• 36:56
  stand. I can't say everybody keeps
• 36:58
  talking about LinkedIn. How big of a dick link kiffin
• 37:02
  is, I would say that more about Ryan day, I heard enough stories
• 37:05
  about Ryan Day on and off the field that would probably
• 37:08
  scratch ahead as a head coach. This is, this is a coach should
• 37:12
  ever heard, right? Or Lane kiffin.
• 37:14
  Try to stop any protest yet. They even accursed him.
• 37:16
  When the Ole Miss students were throwing those eggs on the field
• 37:18
  against had to see, you know, Ryan day has this Powerhouse of
• 37:23
  the recruiting job at the receiver position.
• 37:25
  You said it dating back to even before Garrett Wilson, They just
• 37:30
  been getting everybody. Smith is better than all Smith
• 37:33
  Reminds Me of Julio Jones. We're talking like that like
• 37:37
  that level talent coming out he's unguardable.
• 37:40
  So you got to put two sometimes three guys often three guys.
• 37:45
  At least an extra linebacker playing underneath coverage in
• 37:48
  his way on every single play and then you have carnal Tate on the
• 37:52
  opposite side. Who's in the middle of not fair,
• 37:54
  it really is. It's not particularly Fair,
• 37:57
  makes it pretty easy for saying so you got to give a lot of
• 37:59
  credit to Indiana's defense for hanging with those guys and
• 38:03
  confusing. The Freshman with some of their
• 38:05
  coverage is there was a interception early in the game
• 38:07
  where the safety rolled back. Like he was playing deep third
• 38:11
  deep middle coverage and then jumped it on like a like a
• 38:14
  robber situation that you just don't really see very often that
• 38:18
  type of the Skies level and it completely fold them.
• 38:21
  And he got an interception, it was like a big, big play in the
• 38:24
  early in the game. It's really impressive how
• 38:27
  they've coached and I think that's the big thing about
• 38:29
  Indiana. Sign is unbelievable.
• 38:32
  Guys, never lost anywhere. He's been, he's the guy that
• 38:35
  took James Madison into. Now, they're in the college
• 38:38
  football playoff, we'll talk about them in a little bit, so
• 38:40
  they're only FPS for the second year, right now.
• 38:43
  Yeah. He was there FCS to FBS, I think
• 38:45
  getting nine losses like 50, something wins while he was
• 38:48
  there. Indiana gets him immediately in
• 38:51
  the playoff first year and now they're number one undefeated,
• 38:54
  And he in, he's holding this Trophy up over Ohio State and
• 38:57
  our graphic. It's unbelievably did that.
• 39:00
  That being said, They did miss that.
• 39:02
  Bonnie of a kick. It should have been tied and I
• 39:06
  think it's gonna be a little different.
• 39:07
  They see each other again, I wish we, I really hope we get
• 39:09
  that. I don't do.
• 39:11
  I don't know if you are and that's the thing.
• 39:13
  A lot of things would have to go, right?
• 39:14
  You know, you don't expect Ohio State.
• 39:17
  If they meet Indiana in the national championship to lose
• 39:21
  back-to-back times against an Indiana team, that's great,
• 39:25
  they're great team. They've been Sensational all
• 39:28
  season long, the Buckeyes haven't lost the game all season
• 39:31
  long and their schedule was one of the hardest schedules in the
• 39:34
  nation all seasonal. So why they lose to Mendoza, I
• 39:38
  think anybody else and again, have a theory on it, I look at
• 39:42
  men don't just numbers. They didn't really pop out at
• 39:45
  you. I mean, he didn't throw up.
• 39:46
  No, not numbers. They're too good.
• 39:49
  Have anyone put up numbers on them?
• 39:51
  I don't watch the tape though. Every single throw is on the
• 39:55
  money in a place where only his guy can catch it.
• 39:59
  Every single time. It's unbelievable.
• 40:02
  The back shoulder throws, the Aaron Rodgers type of throws.
• 40:06
  Now, you talk about Caleb Williams.
• 40:08
  Yes, being able to throw on the Move.
• 40:09
  That's that's one part of Aaron Rodgers game, but the best part
• 40:12
  of Aaron Rodgers game. When he was going to go with the
• 40:15
  Vontae Adams was they were just running streets and Devonte.
• 40:18
  Adams would come back on it on a back shoulder.
• 40:21
  Throw the defender can't stop it.
• 40:24
  Like they can't it's not possible because he's not even
• 40:27
  turned looking for the ball. They just have that timing and
• 40:31
  Mendoza can do that with receivers who are not as good as
• 40:35
  the corners and secondary players for the most part at
• 40:38
  least on Ohio State and that tight.
• 40:41
  It's like, you know, like a good shooter is gonna be awesome.
• 40:44
  Basketball. I also believe the Buckeyes is
• 40:46
  in the fourth quarter, made some mistakes defensively.
• 40:48
  They zoned a little bit too much again Mendoza Mendoza.
• 40:53
  When when you Zone against Mendoza he is going to attack
• 40:56
  you and and so good ones. Know how to attack man.
• 40:59
  And they know how to attack Zone and Mentos just great, he's a
• 41:02
  good quarterback, I just don't know if I'm the Jet and I'm
• 41:06
  sitting there at five and my willing to trade up all the way
• 41:11
  from five to one to land and dosing give up three first round
• 41:14
  draft picks from a Doza and and then strike out like they've
• 41:18
  struck out all the time over the last 50 years.
• 41:21
  I would say, no, I'm not doing that.
• 41:23
  I'm not putting my Sure, on the line.
• 41:25
  Unless I'm damn sure Mendoza is absolutely a slam dunk of a
• 41:30
  player. And I don't know if he is as
• 41:32
  good as he's been this year as accurate as he's been.
• 41:35
  I don't know if I'm betting on that.
• 41:36
  Maybe if you're a team you look at back who could be a third
• 41:40
  round talent. And that's where they saying he
• 41:42
  could land. Second, third round, late second
• 41:44
  early, third round draft pick maybe there'll be teams more
• 41:47
  interested in back because you're not going to have to give
• 41:50
  up much to get back. And back could actually be one
• 41:54
  of those guys that could be Italy and Elite player in the
• 41:57
  NFL if he goes to the right place and he gets developed the
• 42:01
  right way. So I don't know if and again man
• 42:04
  does a has all the qualities you want of a Star Quarterback?
• 42:07
  Again I go back to what he reminds me of.
• 42:10
  He reminds me of Joe burrow he really does.
• 42:13
  And guess guess what? Joe burrow went.
• 42:16
  First of all who recruited, Joe burrow, Ohio State, right?
• 42:19
  And anyone tells you and anyone in National Championship, he
• 42:22
  went from a nobody to a Body and then breaking records and then
• 42:26
  he was the number one pick of the first round.
• 42:28
  And you see what type of player he is.
• 42:30
  And then you look at Mendoza Indiana, who did Indiana just
• 42:33
  not go off to, to be the number one seed and, and go into the
• 42:37
  final 12 as the number one seed, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 42:41
  So, I again, I don't know if it's a Winky Dink but it reminds
• 42:45
  me a lot. He reminds me Mendoza.
• 42:48
  Fernando Mendoza reminds me of a younger version of Joe burrow.
• 42:53
  Now, I, I don't know if you still burrow because a lot of
• 42:56
  people questioning when Joe burrow came into the NFL, they
• 42:59
  were one. They were wondering if his scale
• 43:01
  would fit in the NFL. That's style of skill would fit
• 43:04
  me NFL because he wasn't quote on quote, a mobile quarterback
• 43:07
  and about it and everyone, that's true too.
• 43:12
  But I was talking about mobile quarterbacks.
• 43:15
  That have been successful non-mobile quarterbacks that
• 43:18
  have been successful in the NFL over the last couple of years
• 43:20
  and even though Joe burrow, we tell you wait a second, I'm a
• 43:24
  duel threat. I can still run.
• 43:25
  He is not considered a mobile quarterback, he's considered a
• 43:30
  pocket present quarterback and that's where when you look at
• 43:33
  all these Scouts and you you're going to when the combined comes
• 43:36
  around and he does his interview where everybody's going to
• 43:39
  consider, what type of player man, those are is going to be in
• 43:42
  the NFL, they're going to say, well, he is a pocket
• 43:46
  quarterback. He has mobile ability, but he's
• 43:49
  not considered a dual threat, and that would scare a team.
• 43:53
  Especially some of these young coaches.
• 43:54
  Aka the New York Giants has fish wants a young coach to be
• 43:58
  brought in to be coaching a team?
• 44:00
  Are you willing? I mean look, jaxson Dart, he's a
• 44:03
  mobile quarterback. He's considered mobile first
• 44:06
  before throw so, and now he's figuring things out.
• 44:10
  As a throwing quarterback. You you're always looking for
• 44:13
  that dual threat type of player. If you want these guys to
• 44:16
  succeed and if I don't think men does a is that type of player?
• 44:19
  Now, that doesn't mean it won't work.
• 44:21
  He's got to go to the right team.
• 44:22
  The right organization is Is the right Organization for Mendoza
• 44:26
  is the Jets. The right organization, or the
• 44:29
  Browns, or any of those guys know you want Mendoza to sit for
• 44:34
  one season on the bench, learn behind a quarterback.
• 44:37
  So the next year, he'll be ready to take over as the Star
• 44:41
  Quarterback of that franchise. I don't know if Vegas is going
• 44:44
  to do that. I know damn well that the Jets
• 44:47
  better do that. Whoever they bring in, whoever
• 44:50
  they decide they bring in even in the first round or the fourth
• 44:53
  round or even next year, you have to be very careful and you
• 44:57
  got to cuddle these guys and I don't know if Mendoza in the
• 45:00
  position that he's in right now if he's going to be coddled.
• 45:03
  And and that's the thing. There is a guy that stands out
• 45:07
  to me where he looks like he's falling in this class and you
• 45:11
  know where I'm going sellers. He is fully in this class just
• 45:15
  like Lamar Jackson fell in that Josh Allen draft and Lamar went.
• 45:21
  He was the final pick of the first round that that year.
• 45:24
  Are and he's, you can argue the best quarterback in that class
• 45:27
  and when you go back and you look at that classic
• 45:31
  quarterbacks, he wasn't even considered.
• 45:33
  So now you're looking at guys like that where I'm trying to
• 45:37
  compare and the comparison to that, that's where I'm comparing
• 45:40
  this and and to me sellers is falling and he's dropping
• 45:45
  sellers could be the best quarterback in this class.
• 45:47
  It's crazy. It's very, very easily because a
• 45:50
  lot of the questions that we had with Lamar Jackson and Jalen
• 45:52
  hurts as well at the time. He was looked at his eyes, been
• 45:55
  candidate this year right before the season started?
• 45:57
  Sure. These not even spoken about it
• 45:59
  because it can't say healthy. Yeah.
• 46:00
  And also, like you're questioning like the throwing
• 46:02
  abilities with him, but the same way with a lot of these like
• 46:04
  dual threat running type, quarterbacks too.
• 46:06
  You're looking for more of those like teams today are looking for
• 46:09
  more of those Josh Allen ties. But since Lauren Jackson, got
• 46:11
  really Elite the way they have more of those other types are
• 46:14
  coming out now or they're gonna rise.
• 46:16
  And you were talking about like whether team up for this, this
• 46:19
  quarterback class, too. Like, also remember like you
• 46:22
  have Arch next year. You'll probably have some other
• 46:24
  guys that Didn't play well, this year, they could come back,
• 46:26
  maybe not Meyer, comes back with Lincoln kiffin LSU.
• 46:29
  Maybe you could look a club, Nick at Clemson.
• 46:31
  You're gonna have a lot of others and then you have other
• 46:33
  ones that bring us Myers going in the draft.
• 46:35
  Yeah. But again, you, you're not gonna
• 46:37
  have to trade up for him, that for that kind of thing.
• 46:38
  I'm the jet, you probably just wait on, I think no smarter
• 46:41
  smacking himself in the head right now that he should have
• 46:44
  went into last year's draft because he was a top 10 pick.
• 46:46
  And now all of a sudden nuspire might even fall out of the first
• 46:50
  round, he might be a second round down.
• 46:52
  He's made some really bad decisions.
• 46:54
  Yeah. Right football.
• 46:55
  It's like hard to get past how boneheaded.
• 46:58
  He's been he gives you like those like This stuff that they
• 47:02
  didn't like about Sam darnold, when he came out and all that,
• 47:04
  he would just throw it up in the middle of the field and this
• 47:07
  dumb stuff sellers. I would be surprised to be comes
• 47:11
  out this year. I think he's gonna transfer that
• 47:13
  look, you you don't want to say, It's bad to be loyal to a
• 47:20
  school. But in the nil World sellers
• 47:23
  went back and they were bad. And it ruins his draft stop this
• 47:27
  year, and he should have transferred or he should have
• 47:30
  came in. Like he really shouldn't have
• 47:32
  stayed there. It was a mistake.
• 47:34
  It was a mistake by him. So now he has to make a choice.
• 47:38
  Does he come out and get taken in the second round as a
• 47:41
  project? Like Jalen hurts was taking the
• 47:43
  second round because they didn't think he was a complete player?
• 47:47
  But her said, no more eligibility this kid's or do you
• 47:50
  go back? Get the transfer money, which is
• 47:53
  probably better than you're going to see as a second round
• 47:56
  pick. And then see, if you can't get
• 47:57
  back into the top five conversation that next year's
• 48:00
  draft, the final college football playoff rankings were
• 48:04
  released on Sunday and the Committees decision was a
• 48:08
  shocker from some teams on the bubble.
• 48:11
  The top of the ranking, stay pretty much as expected with the
• 48:16
  four teams receiving bys which were number one in Diana.
• 48:21
  Number two, Ohio State SEC, Champions number three, Georgia
• 48:26
  and Big 12 Champion, Texas Tech which is number four.
• 48:30
  The home teams for the first round of the playoffs will be
• 48:35
  number five. Oregon number six Old Miss
• 48:39
  number seven, Texas A&M and number eight, Oklahoma.
• 48:43
  These also were pretty much decided Wants Alabama, lost to
• 48:48
  Georgia. What happened with the last four
• 48:50
  teams? Shocked the entire college
• 48:52
  football World taking on organ. At number 12, James Madison
• 48:59
  University, who makes it? It makes it because unranked
• 49:03
  Duke beat Virginia for the ACC champion.
• 49:07
  Title, putting the Sun Belt champ into the 20th without Lane
• 49:14
  kiffin and half the coaching staff will take on.
• 49:16
  I'm sorry, American Athletic, Conference AAC Champion, number
• 49:22
  11, to Lane with Coach, John Summerall, who is leaving to
• 49:28
  coach Florida next year, but will Coach in the playoffs.
• 49:32
  Number seven, Texas A&M takes on my number 10, Miami.
• 49:36
  And number eight, Oklahoma takes on.
• 49:40
  Number nine, Alabama right? Before the college playoff
• 49:44
  announcement in order game was list.
• 49:47
  It as a minus 2,000 favorite to make the tournament, they did
• 49:51
  not make it. The committee surprised everyone
• 49:55
  and didn't hold Alabama's early season loss to five and seven
• 50:00
  five and seven, Florida State or Georgia blasting them 28 to 7 in
• 50:05
  the SEC Championship game. For the third for their third
• 50:09
  loss, against them Miami lost to unranked, SMU, which Miami was
• 50:16
  expected to make. I believe that I don't think
• 50:19
  Miami doesn't make it unless some catastrophic thing happens.
• 50:24
  I I was very surprised Alabama. Again, very surprised.
• 50:28
  They only way I thought Alabama was getting in as if they
• 50:31
  knocked off George or made the game.
• 50:32
  So very close at it. Really went down to the wire and
• 50:36
  challenged George all the way to the end.
• 50:39
  They got their butts whipped 28 to 7 by Georgia.
• 50:43
  It shouldn't have been on the same field as the Georgia
• 50:46
  Bulldogs. They really shouldn't have.
• 50:49
  And that's that was the surprising thing that happened
• 50:52
  on Saturday when I was DJing at that runway show.
• 50:56
  Is watching, Alabama, get their butts whipped on National
• 50:59
  Television. But the fact that Notre Dame
• 51:03
  love is one of the best more prolific, top, talented
• 51:07
  offensive players. We've seen all season long, the
• 51:10
  running back who everybody expects to be a top-end player.
• 51:13
  One of the better offensive players coming out of this class
• 51:15
  and to not see him play for maybe a national championship
• 51:21
  this year or even fight for a national championship.
• 51:23
  And we're talking about him up for a Heisman Trophy.
• 51:26
  Did not see this guy, this kid it to me, it's just absolutely
• 51:31
  appalling. Now, if you remember Boys, he
• 51:34
  stayed last year and they had Gente and and boys.
• 51:37
  He said, I think they made it to the final 12.
• 51:39
  Yeah, they were the number three seed.
• 51:40
  Yeah, they and they they got knocked out pretty quick in the
• 51:43
  tournament. I don't know if Notre Dame would
• 51:45
  have wherever they would have matched again, if they whoever
• 51:49
  they put them against and I don't know how they would have
• 51:51
  been seeded. But whoever they matched
• 51:54
  against, I don't know, unless they were matching against James
• 51:56
  Madison or one of these guys, which they probably wouldn't
• 51:58
  have, they would have been one against one of these more ranked
• 52:01
  teams, like Texas A&M or whoever they probably lose.
• 52:05
  They probably lose. But I would probably rather
• 52:08
  watch Love and Order Dame play especially how well they played
• 52:12
  all season long. What did they?
• 52:14
  They lose one game this year. They lost twice like a bind Four
• 52:17
  Points. Okay, so they lost twice this
• 52:19
  year. And I would have rather seen
• 52:22
  them than James Madison or Tulane.
• 52:24
  And I'm not, I'm not taking shots at 2 Elaine, two lanes,
• 52:27
  had a sensational year, they won their, their Championship.
• 52:30
  So, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna say that tooling doesn't deserve
• 52:33
  to be there. The coach, is going to coach
• 52:36
  Florida next year. One of the better SEC teams in
• 52:39
  the country so and he's gonna get itself a nice recruiting
• 52:42
  class, but My, my problem here in the way they judge it and I
• 52:47
  was looking at how they they judge, who gets, who gets into
• 52:51
  this tournament. So I'm gonna read this to you
• 52:53
  guys. You tell me if not a Dame,
• 52:56
  doesn't fit all these things. So they say Beyond, they look at
• 53:00
  Beyond strength of the schedule. The Committees 12 core metrics
• 53:04
  for comparing teams, remaining remaining, the same cfp.
• 53:09
  Well, say that these measures are the most impactful when
• 53:14
  separating teams relatives scoring offenses, the percentage
• 53:19
  of offensive points scored compared to the opponent
• 53:23
  averaging scoring defense is Relative scoring defense is,
• 53:28
  percentage is of defensive points allowed compared to the
• 53:33
  opponent's average scoring offense.
• 53:37
  Relative total offense percentages of offensive yards,
• 53:41
  gained compared to opponents averaged and relative Total
• 53:46
  Defense percentage of defensive yards allowed compared to
• 53:51
  opponents averages. So there you look at these I
• 53:56
  guess statistics and metrics on how they compare these teams and
• 54:01
  how they believe the committee believes they should make the
• 54:05
  final 12th. Means I'm, I'm not going to tell
• 54:09
  you that, I do know what it means.
• 54:11
  I think fish, as far as I'm concerned being that, he's the
• 54:14
  economics major or even Speedy with his.
• 54:16
  His analytics should probably understand how to explain that.
• 54:20
  What I do know is I look at the eye test and the eye test tells
• 54:24
  me. That in order Dame.
• 54:28
  To me. In their conference.
• 54:30
  Well, one of the top two teams in their, in their conference.
• 54:33
  And one of the top 12 teams in the country all season long.
• 54:37
  Alabama, was not. Alabama shouldn't have made it
• 54:41
  and I understand the committee, they look at Alabama.
• 54:43
  This is not Nick Saban's. Alabama, Crimson Tide.
• 54:47
  Now they have a great recruiting class.
• 54:49
  They're going to have guys that are going to be drafted in the
• 54:51
  first and second and third round.
• 54:53
  There they have. They've always had that
• 54:55
  background. They've won how many national
• 54:57
  championships five, six national championships with Nick Saban,
• 55:00
  that's great. This isn't Nick Saban's team and
• 55:03
  this is not the same Alabama team we've seen over the years
• 55:07
  with Nick Saban. But again, the committee looks
• 55:09
  at all Alabama is the same team every single year for some
• 55:13
  reason. They look past what they've done
• 55:15
  all season long and they did not deserve to make the final 12.
• 55:19
  They did not, I don't care what anybody says, they did not even
• 55:23
  really challenged Georgia in that SEC Championship Game.
• 55:28
  And to me when you look at that and you look at, when I know
• 55:32
  everybody looks like these points in the system of the
• 55:34
  metrics and everything like that, you're going in your
• 55:36
  conference Championship game and you're measured against the team
• 55:39
  that's making it, you've got to put on a fight and if you're not
• 55:42
  going to put on a fight and you don't show up in that game, how
• 55:45
  could you let them squeak in with three losses?
• 55:48
  They're the only team. In this tournament.
• 55:53
  That has three losses. The only team.
• 55:56
  It doesn't make any sense, how they're the only team to sneak
• 56:00
  in? I understand it's Alabama, but
• 56:02
  it doesn't make any sense. And I know Speedy before we we
• 56:06
  started to show, I think yesterday we were talking about
• 56:08
  it. And you think the sleepers in
• 56:10
  this this final 12 is Oklahoma and Alabama and they're facing
• 56:14
  off against one. Another why?
• 56:16
  Yeah. Because Alabama I think still
• 56:18
  offensively has enough prowess for that kind of thing and
• 56:21
  defensively they aren't they're not as good as they were two
• 56:24
  years ago. But I think they were still
• 56:26
  enough of a defense even without Saban there to be strong enough.
• 56:30
  That being said they are definitely not the same in level
• 56:33
  defense. Oklahoma is interesting because
• 56:35
  they have their quarterback healthy material who was a lot
• 56:37
  of people's Heisman Radars of the beginning of the season and
• 56:40
  then he got hurt. And then he kind of struggled on
• 56:41
  his way back. Oklahoma beat Alabama, had to
• 56:44
  head though. That's why the higher seed,
• 56:45
  obviously, in additional only being a two loss team and they
• 56:48
  have a really dangerous defense with a coach and Brett venables.
• 56:51
  That one's entitles with Clemson as a defensive coordinator with
• 56:53
  a huge part. Look at all these Great Clips in
• 56:55
  defense, they had I'm I again going back to what we were
• 56:59
  talking about off off Aaron and trying to compare and look at
• 57:03
  all these teams that have made it to the final 12.
• 57:05
  I questioned a lot now, Texas A&M deserves to be here.
• 57:08
  Now before they lost against Texas, they were one of the
• 57:12
  higher seats and it was expected to be one of the top if I'm not
• 57:16
  mistaken top three higher. They were three at the time.
• 57:18
  Yeah. And they fall undefeated.
• 57:20
  Yep. And then they fall in all the
• 57:21
  way to number seven, and that that's crazy after losing
• 57:24
  against Texas. They fell from from number three
• 57:27
  to number seven, that quick. And, and that's the crazy thing
• 57:30
  on the metrics and comparison to how how they declare these guys
• 57:35
  and where they're seated. And to me, I still don't
• 57:38
  understand it. When I'm looking at these these
• 57:40
  metrics and they're trying to post them up to explain it
• 57:43
  because it's all BSR. I got it.
• 57:45
  That's why I'm making. That's why I bring it up.
• 57:47
  Here it out. There's no way ask me is an
• 57:50
  economics teacher. Here's my economics, follow the
• 57:53
  money. you get four million dollars as a conference for your
• 57:58
  team, making the college football playoff 4 million.
• 58:02
  The ACC could not put their champion in because Duke upset
• 58:09
  number 17 at the time, Virginia. That input James Madison who was
• 58:14
  ranked like 25th or something before they won their
• 58:16
  conference. So probably 24 25.
• 58:19
  They get in by default. So now one less spot is
• 58:24
  available for a team like Notre Dame.
• 58:27
  So now you're kind of stuck between those three teams for
• 58:30
  two spots and there's the ACC saying hey Notre Dame doesn't
• 58:36
  have a conference right? We need that money, here's our
• 58:40
  marketing power behind getting that money, put Miami in.
• 58:44
  Miami was not expected to make it Errol.
• 58:47
  They a million things had to go right in the last two weeks of
• 58:50
  the season. I know you're right.
• 58:52
  I honestly I felt the same way I thought.
• 58:54
  I thought there was I and I agree with you and I know a lot
• 58:58
  of things had to go, right? And I know where you're going to
• 59:00
  go with this because a lot of people said that but I thought
• 59:02
  unless some catastrophic thing happened in the in in the last
• 59:09
  week I thought Miami was going to sneak in.
• 59:11
  They were going to get my in because of back back is like
• 59:15
  this. Everybody loves this kid and
• 59:17
  they want to see back going. Try to win a National
• 59:20
  Championship. This is his final year, he's
• 59:22
  jumped from how many colleges I mean, he's he's been in the
• 59:25
  portal like three, four times. I mean, how long has he been in
• 59:29
  college football? It feels like he's been there
• 59:31
  for ages. So everybody wants to see this
• 59:33
  guy try to win a National Championship.
• 59:35
  So I I just didn't believe that Miami wasn't going to sneak in,
• 59:39
  but I was shocked that Alabama snuck in the way they did with
• 59:43
  three laws. Is I couldn't believe it, I was
• 59:45
  talking to my friend, my friend came to me and he said, who do
• 59:48
  you got Georgia? Alabama.
• 59:49
  I said I'm gonna go with Alabama because if Alabama loses,
• 59:52
  there's no way they make this tournament no way.
• 59:54
  So I'm gonna go with the Crimson time.
• 59:55
  I just don't get it like Notre Dame's losses with by four
• 59:59
  points. Total three points to Miami at
• 1:00:03
  the very beginning of the season and all August.
• 1:00:04
  That game was August 30th. They almost came back to one
• 1:00:07
  win, two. They were down.
• 1:00:08
  Big enough game, right? They rattled off 10 straight
• 1:00:11
  wins after losing by three points.
• 1:00:13
  One point to A&M, who we just said is ranked 7 So that was
• 1:00:19
  their entire their losses. Look at the losses from Alabama,
• 1:00:22
  they lost to Florida State a losing team this year.
• 1:00:25
  They got smacked just a second ago by Georgia not and look
• 1:00:30
  their best win of the season was against Georgia.
• 1:00:32
  So you know, they got smacked in that rematch.
• 1:00:35
  I thought that was enough for everyone to say, you know what,
• 1:00:38
  they're clearly not up to that caliber, let's keep him out of
• 1:00:41
  the playoff this year with that three third loss, but they kept
• 1:00:44
  them over Notre Dame. It's wild and Notre.
• 1:00:46
  Dame's add is real pissed about it.
• 1:00:49
  Yeah I mean as but think about this for a second, every single
• 1:00:53
  other one of their Sports, their Varsity Sports basketball
• 1:00:57
  included are in the ACC, right? So now I we may see Notre Dame
• 1:01:04
  try to pull out of the ACC in all their other sports.
• 1:01:07
  That this there's a lot of people upset well trying to make
• 1:01:10
  a statement and I don't know if it's one that they can
• 1:01:13
  necessarily win because I they're trying to do it for
• 1:01:15
  their own values. I know taxes used to do that in
• 1:01:17
  the past with the Longhorn Network and stuff like that and
• 1:01:20
  stuck to their own guns and they were in the Big 12, they were
• 1:01:22
  not trying to schedule anything extra because of that.
• 1:01:25
  And again, I guess in this and that tight of a tiebreaker
• 1:01:28
  scenario that could they couldn't reward it.
• 1:01:30
  You know what really bothers me about first of all Marcus
• 1:01:33
  Freeman who was possibly going to be an NFL coach, a couple of
• 1:01:36
  years ago. He went to a national
• 1:01:37
  championship, he fell short and National Championship.
• 1:01:40
  He was what one play away from possibly winning the national
• 1:01:43
  championship. And then two years later has a
• 1:01:47
  chance to go into a tournament again and make another run and
• 1:01:49
  and full short, they're not playing in their bowl game.
• 1:01:52
  As a matter of fact, today, the announced that they declined
• 1:01:56
  playing their in their bed, for their bowl game, which tells me,
• 1:01:59
  they're so upset, they don't even care about The money
• 1:02:02
  they're going to get on that ball game.
• 1:02:03
  They'd rather not play, they'd rather not even show up to the
• 1:02:06
  game. You have a chance Errol to, to
• 1:02:09
  win a National Championship, or you have a chance to win the
• 1:02:13
  Pop-Tarts Bowl, which is what they would have been put in
• 1:02:17
  against BYU who lost their matchup as well.
• 1:02:21
  They said, we're not interested. We'll have our own Pop-Tarts
• 1:02:26
  from the store for a couple of bucks.
• 1:02:27
  It was really about money. When you, when you think about
• 1:02:30
  these ball games, it's all about money and it's all about money
• 1:02:33
  for the NCAA to make. And they want to stick it to the
• 1:02:37
  NCAA. And they want to say, you know
• 1:02:38
  what, what gonna play in a game, we don't care about the money,
• 1:02:41
  you're gonna give us the extra money.
• 1:02:42
  You're gonna give us where we're rich school in order game is one
• 1:02:45
  of the more Prestige schools in the country.
• 1:02:47
  We don't need it. And that's what they're making a
• 1:02:50
  statement. They're telling you, we don't
• 1:02:52
  need to play in that ball game. You want to stick it to us?
• 1:02:54
  We're gonna Stick it to you and it's gonna cost you money and
• 1:02:57
  that's the way they're doing it. And again the committee is not
• 1:02:59
  going to advocate for that kind of thing against Notre Dame
• 1:03:02
  specifically just because they're going to have different
• 1:03:03
  things. Now, each School boosters, each
• 1:03:05
  school has their own each school as Own advocacy for their own
• 1:03:09
  things actually with ill. But at the same time, it's not
• 1:03:11
  the logic that has to be used in this kind of instance, for the
• 1:03:14
  ranking and you know what's funny?
• 1:03:15
  Because I I'm reading with fishes saying to Tommy and he
• 1:03:19
  says, well, who's going to fill in?
• 1:03:20
  There's somebody Georgia. Tech is already, Yes.
• 1:03:22
  Somebody will fill in but it's, it's not in Notre Dame.
• 1:03:25
  Okay, so when when you're talking about trying to sell
• 1:03:28
  advertisements and sponsors and you have advertisers and
• 1:03:31
  sponsors going to do commercial and Commercial settings.
• 1:03:34
  Those advertisers are not going to want to work with that, that
• 1:03:38
  particular game because it's not already game, it's who cares
• 1:03:42
  about? Georgia Tech.
• 1:03:43
  I mean, one of the nasty secrets are all of like college football
• 1:03:46
  forever. Was that the bowl games?
• 1:03:48
  Those like lesser Bold games cost the schools money.
• 1:03:51
  Yeah, they don't make any money whatsoever on these bowl games
• 1:03:55
  so the schools don't want to participate in them if they're
• 1:03:59
  like a six and 16. But apparently if you're six and
• 1:04:01
  six you qualify for a bowl, so sometimes you go because you
• 1:04:05
  want it to be good. You think it's good for your
• 1:04:07
  Program. And now they're adding other
• 1:04:08
  five and seven teams because of these other teams dropping out
• 1:04:11
  in Notre. Dame's I wasn't the only one,
• 1:04:12
  there's like 10 other teams. Yeah.
• 1:04:13
  No this is this is really for the NCAA.
• 1:04:16
  They're making the money off of it and they're making something
• 1:04:19
  the school. Yeah, the school is making
• 1:04:21
  something, but they're not making anywhere.
• 1:04:23
  Yes, the Big 12 finds you 500,000 dollars, if you don't
• 1:04:28
  play in the bowl game, and there's two teams that decided
• 1:04:31
  that will actually that's going to save us money because that's
• 1:04:34
  how big of a loss these bowl games are it's such an outdated
• 1:04:38
  way to do it. It's an exhibition game after
• 1:04:41
  the season's over. What, why are we doing that?
• 1:04:43
  Anyone who's got an NFL stock? I that not even for this year.
• 1:04:46
  For next year, they're not risking themselves in something
• 1:04:50
  like this. It's ends up becoming like you
• 1:04:52
  might as well just have like a junior varsity become the
• 1:04:55
  backup. Send you know, whatever it comes
• 1:04:57
  a profit loss. I think mainly with the five and
• 1:04:59
  seven in the even the six and six teams you're referring to
• 1:05:01
  are the schools that like having got that have been there to
• 1:05:04
  other like minor bowl games for a while, maybe not the schools
• 1:05:06
  that are Getting there for the first time or anything like
• 1:05:08
  that. But any of those schools that
• 1:05:10
  are in the power 4 conferences that are lower end are going to
• 1:05:14
  not benefit. I wrote a story about the
• 1:05:16
  college football tournaments and it's up on our website and you
• 1:05:20
  go to our website. It's very, very funny.
• 1:05:22
  And I gave you my take my thought behind the whole, the
• 1:05:26
  Buckle of the committee. And I think the committee is
• 1:05:28
  just, they've for years have reached and reached it.
• 1:05:31
  It's a bunch of old guys sitting in around Circle and making a
• 1:05:34
  decision in five minutes. Oh, okay.
• 1:05:36
  We're gonna go with this team, just because it's this team and
• 1:05:39
  this coach, well, I, I was sleeping with this guy two years
• 1:05:42
  ago and I'm gonna go with this guy, you know, I don't know, I
• 1:05:45
  don't know how they're, they're making the decisions because
• 1:05:48
  he's metrics, and that's why I kept bringing it up and I wanted
• 1:05:51
  to read all the college football on, how they are choosing, who
• 1:05:54
  makes it and who not who doesn't by looking at these metrics.
• 1:05:58
  And I'm I, pretty much gave you my date to it.
• 1:06:00
  I don't understand it. How do you, how do you post
• 1:06:03
  something like this up? I know.
• 1:06:05
  That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
• 1:06:07
  Changing their logic. Every that's what I'm saying,
• 1:06:09
  when I'm posting this stuff up and I'm trying, I I wanted to
• 1:06:13
  see how they're judging and they're using the metrics on who
• 1:06:16
  makes it or not. Who's not the reason why I did
• 1:06:18
  that is because the truth is, it doesn't make sense.
• 1:06:23
  So it is BS. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:06:26
  The whole thing is bullshit, that's what it is.
• 1:06:29
  Yeah. And to explain a little further
• 1:06:31
  fish, what you were describing at the at the end of the season,
• 1:06:33
  like Miami Blue out pit. At the end of the year.
• 1:06:35
  Pit was ACC Contender for a while.
• 1:06:37
  They might have made the ACC Championship game.
• 1:06:38
  If they won that game instead of obviously Dooku got, instead, it
• 1:06:42
  might even Virginia and pet. And then you got Notre Dame who
• 1:06:44
  played well, but kind of struggled down the stretch, that
• 1:06:46
  was kind of the argument, I guess to make with Miami over
• 1:06:48
  Notre Dame because their strength of schedule was pretty
• 1:06:50
  similar and they won head to head which Head to Head its
• 1:06:53
  interesting factor that in because usually it's not as
• 1:06:55
  applicable because a lot of the teams fighting for spots, don't
• 1:06:58
  play these other. Now again it's interesting with
• 1:06:59
  the standards that they're holding with the ACC trying to
• 1:07:02
  put somebody else in when obviously there's a different
• 1:07:04
  conference Championship. Instead that being said, J mu I
• 1:07:07
  think in Tulane based on the rule and observing it that
• 1:07:10
  leaves, as we've got into it Alabama, Alabama, has been a
• 1:07:14
  midst of, I think the college football, playoff in the times
• 1:07:17
  they've existed in mostly gotten the top 40 of Slim Pickens
• 1:07:24
  outside of the Notre Dame in Texas, A&M from 2020 are mostly
• 1:07:27
  based on Alabama. Now, I thought Alabama should
• 1:07:28
  have gotten in over Ohio State when they did in 2017.
• 1:07:31
  That being said, Errol and I mentioned it to two years ago,
• 1:07:33
  Florida, State, and Georgia, both not getting in over
• 1:07:36
  Alabama, that's here to me. That's like a smack in a face.
• 1:07:39
  Yeah, is everybody knows I'm a Seminoles fan and that was the
• 1:07:41
  year when we speak about the defense, they were the best
• 1:07:44
  defense in the Country Florida State.
• 1:07:46
  And everybody says, well, they got their butts with, by Georgia
• 1:07:49
  and the reason why they got their butts with by Georgia,
• 1:07:51
  because after they got knocked out and they were the only
• 1:07:54
  undefeated team that didn't make that.
• 1:07:56
  What did they do? They hold their start defensive
• 1:07:59
  players set out because they were, they were, they were going
• 1:08:02
  to the cops suffered. An injury never played football
• 1:08:05
  again. No, I know the Jets.
• 1:08:07
  Drafted him never played again. I know the Jets draft couldn't
• 1:08:09
  come back from that injury and they never.
• 1:08:12
  And that was it. And they didn't even let him in.
• 1:08:15
  Unbelievable, well, which is why I was mentioning last week.
• 1:08:18
  You can't hold Ole Miss to that same kind of thing just because
• 1:08:19
  they lost their entire. You know, it's what's so weird
• 1:08:22
  about that and and and going back and forth on, you know, how
• 1:08:25
  they're judging and how they're using these metrics to get these
• 1:08:28
  guys, or these teams in to this tournament.
• 1:08:31
  What throws me off about it. Is you look at the coach and
• 1:08:34
  again, Nick Saban or even Dabo Sweeney, I remember before the
• 1:08:38
  season started Apple Sweeney and and Clemson was like, the heavy
• 1:08:41
  favorite to win the national champion.
• 1:08:43
  I was wrong about them and they didn't even make the tournaments
• 1:08:46
  as a matter of fact, they look so bad at some points this year
• 1:08:50
  that dabble between a shit lost his job, but because it's Dabo
• 1:08:53
  Sweeney. If Dabo Sweeney in the Clemson
• 1:08:56
  was, they only had three losses. Clemson makes the tournament
• 1:09:00
  too, and that's the problem right now with the committee,
• 1:09:03
  they're looking at the star power of the coaches, the star
• 1:09:06
  power of the Layers. That's why I say we're back I I
• 1:09:09
  absolutely believe the Hurricanes were going to make
• 1:09:12
  this tournament. Everybody said all things had to
• 1:09:14
  fall into place, Alabama. Okay, things had a fall into
• 1:09:18
  place for Alabama to make this ornament.
• 1:09:20
  One of the main things is them, beating Georgia.
• 1:09:23
  They didn't even come close. They got their butts whipped.
• 1:09:26
  The game was over in five minutes of the game.
• 1:09:28
  They were it was over. Yeah.
• 1:09:30
  At least at least compete. Like if they lost my seven even
• 1:09:32
  okay. Maybe you could have a case to
• 1:09:34
  get in over, then he was over in five minutes, five minutes.
• 1:09:38
  Now again, you look at a case of their chaining, the conference
• 1:09:41
  Championship rules next year, because okay, Alabama is gonna
• 1:09:44
  play this extra game. It's a chance to get this extra
• 1:09:46
  loss. So, we've seen teams either gets
• 1:09:47
  screwed by that or even booted by the fact that they play in
• 1:09:49
  the conference championships. Not, because it's not like
• 1:09:51
  basketball, were the conversation in automatically
• 1:09:53
  gets in? No matter what, and just affects
• 1:09:55
  the seating in football, you could still end up winning your
• 1:09:57
  conference and and get and loose like Penn State in 26.
• 1:10:00
  I thought screw because they were a Big Ten championship team
• 1:10:02
  that beat Ohio State who was the number one team that year and
• 1:10:05
  they didn't get in over. Washington.
• 1:10:07
  And that's why I think they're changing these Conference
• 1:10:10
  Championship rules. So I don't think, Alabama, like
• 1:10:11
  losing by seven. Maybe would have missed, but
• 1:10:13
  getting blown out. How about how about, when TCU
• 1:10:15
  went to the National Championship?
• 1:10:17
  Well, yeah, to you was undefeated up until that's.
• 1:10:19
  That's not my point if you look at their schedule and their
• 1:10:22
  strength of schedule. If you look at who TCU had to
• 1:10:25
  really beat the whole season, there was like, only two teams
• 1:10:28
  in a top 15 that they beat, and they weren't all the way in the
• 1:10:32
  national championship and they got their butts whipped by
• 1:10:34
  Georgia. When you want to watch when you
• 1:10:36
  watch it, the whole point of bringing this tournament
• 1:10:39
  together and 12 teams, 12 of the top teams of the country.
• 1:10:41
  The reason why you're doing this is you want to see the best
• 1:10:44
  teams play against one another to fight for a national
• 1:10:47
  championship. You do not want to see a team
• 1:10:49
  that shouldn't be there. Go out against a team that so
• 1:10:53
  much so much more of the superior team than you are and
• 1:10:57
  then beat you by 50. That's embarrassing.
• 1:11:00
  And so, a bad look, when you look at just the committee too,
• 1:11:03
  like I think Alabama is a really good team, but I can say they're
• 1:11:06
  all On deserving, at the same time because of the three losses
• 1:11:09
  and like, fish was saying a blowout loss in that
• 1:11:11
  championship game and they lost a five and seven, Florida State
• 1:11:13
  team by double digits. There's one matchup here.
• 1:11:16
  The Old Miss Tulane, man. That's unbelievable.
• 1:11:19
  Because Lane kiffin leaves, the coaching staff, John Summerall,
• 1:11:24
  doesn't. Yeah.
• 1:11:24
  So they're both gone next year, but one stayed and one left.
• 1:11:30
  Those are the two teams that are facing in the first round of my
• 1:11:34
  attacks. And my attack is to Josh
• 1:11:36
  silverbird because Josh silverberg on his show came out
• 1:11:40
  and he was sticking up for Old Miss saying that it was selfish
• 1:11:45
  for Lane kiffin to leave the way he did.
• 1:11:47
  And and my attack here is if if Lane did it and summer role did
• 1:11:53
  the same thing. Why is Summerall look?
• 1:11:55
  Still looked like a god right now for for two lane.
• 1:11:59
  He still going. He still has a chance to win a
• 1:12:01
  National Championship. He still has a chance to move
• 1:12:04
  on. And right now Lane kiffin, I was
• 1:12:06
  my I when I went, when I put my story out this weekend, my
• 1:12:10
  attack to Old Miss is Lane, kiffin's gonna be sitting on the
• 1:12:14
  opposite side of the field behind, Tulane watching the game
• 1:12:18
  and giving them all the information, probably giving
• 1:12:20
  them all their takes, or all their play calling.
• 1:12:23
  Why not stick it up their ass? I mean, honestly, it's, it's
• 1:12:27
  embarrassing. It's absolutely embarrassing.
• 1:12:29
  When you look at all Miss now they look like the biggest joke
• 1:12:33
  of this tournament because some are.
• 1:12:35
  All right now is going and he's heading to Florida, enjoying
• 1:12:38
  enjoying his reign with two lane that rhymes with Tulane.
• 1:12:42
  And now and Linkedin is not going to be able to be coaching
• 1:12:46
  for Ole Miss. When he has a chance to move on
• 1:12:48
  in this tournament maybe face off against whoever Orkin or
• 1:12:52
  Alabam. If they not get not they knock
• 1:12:55
  out Oklahoma or even Oklahoma or whatever, however way he was
• 1:12:58
  going to match because if if Lane kiffin was there with Ole,
• 1:13:01
  Miss Lane kiffin moves on, after they knock off too late and
• 1:13:05
  maybe late Tiffin. When's his first national
• 1:13:07
  championship maybe Old. Miss wins their first national
• 1:13:11
  championship since 1960. It would have been Georgia and I
• 1:13:14
  think they would have beaten Georgia.
• 1:13:15
  So it's a joke. It's an absolute joke.
• 1:13:18
  And by the way, Josh, I give you a lot of compliments.
• 1:13:21
  That was a horrible. Take horrible, take to say that
• 1:13:25
  lane kiffin owed it to the school to go back to them.
• 1:13:28
  Give me a break. Nobody owes anybody anything.
• 1:13:31
  It's all about Mucho, Dinero. That's all I'm saying.
• 1:13:35
  I see it. 90 million dollars and and Old Miss would not offer
• 1:13:40
  him, 10 million dollars more to stay there.
• 1:13:42
  That that's a joke. I'm going to hell, it's you, I
• 1:13:45
  got a chance to go into the portal, they're giving me, poor
• 1:13:49
  portal money, more opportunities to win a championship, and get
• 1:13:52
  back to the NFL, which I've been wanting to go since Oakland
• 1:13:56
  decided to part ways with me, I'm telling you, link kiffin is
• 1:14:00
  not going to be at LSU longer than two years.
• 1:14:02
  He went to National Championship, he's gonna flee
• 1:14:05
  and he's gonna go to the NFL. Does that?
• 1:14:06
  Make him a bad person. I already know that.
• 1:14:08
  He's a big ass, everybody knows that lane kiffin is an ass, but
• 1:14:12
  guess what? He's a rich ass and I rather be
• 1:14:15
  a rich ass, then anything else, so I'm taking the rich.
• 1:14:18
  So I I'm not I'm not hating on Lincoln and I think Lincoln made
• 1:14:23
  the right decision. He made the right decision for
• 1:14:25
  him and his family and I think Old Miss is going to be smacked
• 1:14:28
  in the face against Tulane because of it.
• 1:14:32
  All right, our golf clap of the day.
• 1:14:36
  Preserves a golf club, no doubt of Clan.
• 1:14:42
  All right, my Golf Club of the day goes to the Cleveland Browns
• 1:14:46
  and I don't know if this is a golf clap, I don't know if this
• 1:14:50
  is a turd of the day, it's something as a after the game
• 1:14:55
  and and I've heard many different players attack just a
• 1:15:00
  fancy on what he did what she doing throughout the game.
• 1:15:03
  And one of them is up for defensive player of the year and
• 1:15:06
  and Garrett who he's miles, carrot has been one of the more
• 1:15:10
  prolific dominant defensive forces.
• 1:15:13
  We've seen in 20 years, in a regular season, he's been
• 1:15:16
  unbelievable. But the fact after the game,
• 1:15:20
  when Stephanie goes up there and he speaks to the press, and he
• 1:15:24
  announces that his quarterback won for the rest of the season
• 1:15:27
  is adore Sanders, is an absolute joke.
• 1:15:31
  Absolute joke, I'm going to tell you why.
• 1:15:33
  DeShaun Watson there is news coming out that DeShaun Watson
• 1:15:37
  will be on the Cleveland Browns next year and he is considered
• 1:15:42
  to be the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns next
• 1:15:44
  year and he's considered to make almost 70 million dollars next
• 1:15:48
  year, 70 million dollars next year.
• 1:15:52
  So they're not waiving his contract, he's going to be
• 1:15:55
  playing with his hands and playing with his Tootsie Rolls
• 1:15:58
  in the back room. Whatever, he's gonna be doing,
• 1:16:00
  he is still going to be the starting quarterback and guess
• 1:16:03
  what should door is going to be fighting for that qb1 next year
• 1:16:07
  before the season starts? And what does that smell?
• 1:16:09
  That smells Bad news, for sure Sanders.
• 1:16:13
  Because shedeur, even though he looked half decent yesterday, he
• 1:16:17
  hasn't looked good in his first three starts and and to me, he
• 1:16:21
  to me is a Bonafide second string quarterback.
• 1:16:23
  That's what he is. And the only reason why he's
• 1:16:26
  gonna get a chance to be QB when I feel bad for dealing Gabriel
• 1:16:28
  because as soon as he went down, he was going to lose his job.
• 1:16:32
  He was never going to get that job back because one shedeur
• 1:16:35
  Sanders is the number four selling jersey right now in the
• 1:16:38
  NFL and two, every single fan, has his love Fest for this guy,
• 1:16:41
  even though the guy hasn't done anything in the NFL yet and he
• 1:16:45
  was a 5th round draft pick. And for some reason, after the
• 1:16:48
  first round of the draft last year, he was singing and rapping
• 1:16:52
  in of DJing Booth. So my thoughts here is shoulders
• 1:16:56
  is an absolute bust and Deshawn Watson and having him come back
• 1:17:00
  is even more of a bigger boss. So next year, the Browns will
• 1:17:05
  not be drafted quarterback in this class because it wouldn't
• 1:17:07
  make any sense. So then I go and qb1.
• 1:17:10
  So my golf club goes to thecube the the quarterback situation
• 1:17:15
  with the Cleveland Browns and the Despicable thought that this
• 1:17:19
  Browns team is going to waste another year with no
• 1:17:23
  quarterbacks. So there it is.
• 1:17:25
  My golf clap goes to the Cleveland Browns in their
• 1:17:28
  debacle of quarterback play. And I feel bad again for Dillon
• 1:17:31
  Gabriel, doesn't make any sense, and I feel bad for the kid and
• 1:17:34
  he's never gonna get. I don't even think he'll get
• 1:17:36
  another chance as a starter in the NFL again, unfortunately.
• 1:17:39
  So I love the kid. I met him at the Heisman Trophy
• 1:17:42
  dinner last year. He was very very nice kid.
• 1:17:45
  I thought Very highly of him. And after him being drafted, I
• 1:17:50
  think it was in the fourth round.
• 1:17:51
  I thought he was gonna get his chance.
• 1:17:53
  What did he play three games? And after three games, and I've
• 1:17:57
  seen, I don't care what anybody says to say that door looks even
• 1:18:00
  looks even a little bit better than get Dillon Gabriel is a
• 1:18:03
  joke because he hasn't looked better than Dillon Gabriel.
• 1:18:06
  They both looked at they've looked both looked really,
• 1:18:08
  really bad but to say that she door Sanders has got a chance to
• 1:18:12
  to win that QB one position next year and go go against that
• 1:18:16
  tells me. Dylan Gabriel's not even gonna
• 1:18:18
  make the team in the offseason. It's a sad situation for Dillon
• 1:18:21
  Gabriel. So when we come back, ladies and
• 1:18:24
  gentlemen, we'll be talking to Savannah.
• 1:18:25
  Bananas, pitcher kind of Harris and Savannah, bananas coach and
• 1:18:30
  direct our friend, Adam fireman. But first, our Sports minute
• 1:18:34
  with the fish It is the Jabba and the mouth Sportsman is what
• 1:18:42
  is up everybody? Aaron Fishman here with your
• 1:18:44
  Sportsman. I got a couple of stories for
• 1:18:46
  you before we get into this scores this evening.
• 1:18:48
  Evening. Starting us off reports out of
• 1:18:51
  San Francisco to ESPN. Last Thursday, say former Angels
• 1:18:54
  manager, Ron Washington will join the staff of first year
• 1:18:57
  manager, Tony vitello, Washington miss most of the 2025
• 1:19:01
  season, after recovering from quadruple bicep surgery, it was
• 1:19:05
  not kept on his manager after a conclusion of the Season, by the
• 1:19:08
  Angels, Washington who's 73 has long.
• 1:19:11
  Been one of the best infield coaches in baseball.
• 1:19:13
  Dating back to his time with the Money Ball.
• 1:19:16
  Athletico manage the Texas Rangers to back the back World
• 1:19:19
  Series appearances. In 2010 on 11, Washington will
• 1:19:23
  be the veteran, president's GM Buster Posey.
• 1:19:25
  Clearly wants your vitello who comes over to the major league
• 1:19:27
  after winning the national championship with the Tennessee.
• 1:19:30
  Volunteers, a jump never done before from the college ranked
• 1:19:33
  straight to the pros. Washington was, once passed with
• 1:19:36
  getting Scott hattieburg to be a passable.
• 1:19:39
  For first, baseman will have a similar task with last year's
• 1:19:42
  trade acquisition, Rapids with his move off the hot corner, to
• 1:19:46
  the other side of the diamond next season after famously
• 1:19:49
  refusing. Do so for the Boston Red Sox and
• 1:19:52
  the Penn State Nittany Lions have, made it official and
• 1:19:55
  hired, Iowa State's, Matt Campbell to an eight-year
• 1:19:57
  contract to be their. Next head.
• 1:19:59
  Coach Coach Campbell is without a doubt, the Right leader at the
• 1:20:01
  right time for Penn State football, athletic director.
• 1:20:03
  Patrick Kraft said in the statement, he's a stellar coach.
• 1:20:06
  And with the proven track record of success and his values
• 1:20:09
  character and approach to Leading student athletes to
• 1:20:12
  success on, and off the field aligned perfectly with the
• 1:20:14
  traditions and values of Penn State Campbell was 72 and 55 in
• 1:20:19
  his decade as a head coach of Iowa, State and 35 and 15 at
• 1:20:23
  Toledo from 2011 to 25. Iowa, State won the Big 12 and
• 1:20:28
  an automatic playoff. First last season in 2024
• 1:20:30
  finishing with an 11-3 record this season, I was State started
• 1:20:34
  out hot five and oh, before dropping for in a row, finishing
• 1:20:37
  eight and four overall. Many in the media are being
• 1:20:40
  critical of Penn State for botching, this hiring process as
• 1:20:44
  many other candidates seemingly turned down.
• 1:20:46
  Happy Valley. After they dismissed, long-time
• 1:20:49
  Coach Frank. James Franklin.
• 1:20:50
  Earlier this season, Franklin was already rehired by Virginia
• 1:20:54
  Tech before Penn State ended up. With Campbell.
• 1:20:56
  Campbell might be a good coach, but for the we are Penn State
• 1:21:00
  crowd, apparently the available coaches right now, are telling
• 1:21:03
  us that the ones fabled football program has fallen, who we are
• 1:21:07
  second rate. That said, Campbell as well,
• 1:21:09
  liked and coaching circles, it may be able to pull it off, but
• 1:21:12
  make no mistake. If he does, it's not because he
• 1:21:14
  was Penn State's first choice for second choice but because
• 1:21:17
  those people from their noses at the program that unusually
• 1:21:21
  dispatched a well-liked and respected coach and Franklin
• 1:21:24

• 1:25:38
  Scott Shields before like that that made set up like what it
• 1:25:41

  C6 just not really a popular number when you see all those
• 1:25:47
  things too and they're like us because of you.
• 1:25:48
  I'm like, man, that's crazy. Like it's it's one of those cool
• 1:25:51
  things that you never think that you're going to have that
• 1:25:53
  opportunity and like, and be able to like have people wear
• 1:25:56
  these things and just like it's it's super cool.

  memorial to throw. That's that's what I want to
• 1:26:07
  know. You know, your invites gonna be
• 1:26:11
  in the mail moves a little slow this time of year, you know,
• 1:26:13
  holidays. So just just wait, man.
• 1:26:16
  You know, probably actually get a text message instead of that
• 1:26:21
  friend, Perfect. All right, I appreciate that.
• 1:26:23
  Yeah, I was just I'm going anyways.
• 1:26:26
  But I was like, yeah, I probably should jump on board on this
• 1:26:29
  thing. I think our bet should be held
• 1:26:31
  over there. I think during like halftime we
• 1:26:34
  should have one of their guys and you pitch and me try to
• 1:26:38
  steal on you five times. How about that?
• 1:26:40
  And somebody get, you know, somebody get in the box and try
• 1:26:44
  to swing against you and me, try to steal against you.
• 1:26:46
  Why don't we do that? It's not gonna happen.
• 1:26:48
  You say it's not gonna happen. So what do we do it?
• 1:26:51
  Why do we do it? I'm gonna pick.
• 1:26:53
  I'm gonna pick you up before you ever do it.
• 1:26:55
  Why do we do it? And we'll do it at Savannah
• 1:26:58
  banana game. Why not?
• 1:26:59
  Why not? I would love to do it.
• 1:27:02
  So then when I do it and I get a chance to stand at second base
• 1:27:06
  and put my put my hands up saying.
• 1:27:08
  I got your job, I got you. What are you gonna say that?
• 1:27:12
  He's noticed that he wanted to steal a base, like he didn't
• 1:27:15
  want to face me in the box that see, he wanted.
• 1:27:19
  He wanted three days, hold free base.
• 1:27:22
  Free base. I'm not doing it.
• 1:27:23
  Yeah, you're getting you. You're starting up first.
• 1:27:27
  He didn't get that. It went over his head, ladies
• 1:27:30
  and gentlemen. By the way, ladies and
• 1:27:36
  gentlemen, we are talking to Savannah, bananas pitcher, Conor
• 1:27:40
  Harris and Savannah Banana's coach and directed out of
• 1:27:43
  violent. Listen, I my our bet and it's
• 1:27:45
  it's pretty simple. Me and Java I have about we were
• 1:27:49
  going to do it in the summertime.
• 1:27:50
  It never happened. That there was supposed to be
• 1:27:52
  somebody going into the box, they have a catcher and Java
• 1:27:56
  would pitch. I started first base, I get five
• 1:27:59
  chances to steal to get some somebody, he's got a pitch
• 1:28:01
  against somebody because he can't be that easy.
• 1:28:03
  He's gonna have to pitch around him and I got to pick my pitches
• 1:28:06
  and I gotta figure out when I want to steal against them.
• 1:28:08
  And I got five chances to stealing against him, so he
• 1:28:11
  never happened. Java, couldn't come out here,
• 1:28:13
  it's going to happen. We're gonna, we're gonna make
• 1:28:16
  this bet and we've had this bet, you know, set up for.
• 1:28:20
  It's got to be about seven months now, right?
• 1:28:22
  At least what Kevin Metro's on. And like you said, he would be
• 1:28:25
  the hitter. Yeah, it's It's been a while so
• 1:28:28
  and I would love to do it. Why not do it at a savannah?
• 1:28:30
  Bananas game, it'll be fun, it'll be fun, I don't care.
• 1:28:33
  I listen, if we can just entertain the fans and be
• 1:28:38
  completely or complete jackasses, which I always am, as
• 1:28:42
  you all know, as we all know, there it is jumbo.
• 1:28:45
  That's liquor, we can have a little bit of fun and I just, I
• 1:28:49
  think the fans would love it. And why not do it in front of a
• 1:28:52
  whole stadium of people Java, Chamberlain against the mouth,
• 1:28:55
  Errol marks. We'll just let him have the fact
• 1:29:05
  that he thinks she can do it. Let's do it.
• 1:29:07
  I wanted to do it. Let's do it.
• 1:29:09
  I know I'm saying the fact that you think you're actually gonna
• 1:29:12
  steal on not gonna pick you going, you know what it is?
• 1:29:15
  You think I have no athletic ability whatsoever and I'm
• 1:29:18
  pretty fast. I never said, but you think I
• 1:29:20
  can't deal. I was a pretty good base runner
• 1:29:23
  when I was a kid. So I was a good 40.
• 1:29:26
  You're 49 years old 43. I'm 40 years old today.
• 1:29:32
  You okay. And I mean just.
• 1:29:35
  Yeah. Okay.
• 1:29:37
  Okay. You want, you want to bet on
• 1:29:39
  that, too? You want to put money on that,
• 1:29:41
  you want to make a bet on that, but also, I don't have to add a
• 1:29:48
  half an inch to my height either.
• 1:29:49
  So that's what it is. Now, he's gonna make fun of my
• 1:29:52
  height. Well, guess what?
• 1:29:53
  Maybe listen, my statutes in my pants, buddy.
• 1:29:59
  Terrific. That's fine mines in college.
• 1:30:03
  So I'm doing just pretty well for myself as well.
• 1:30:05
  Listen, this is not, we're having fun and by the way and
• 1:30:09
  anybody that listens to watches our show me and tropical back
• 1:30:12
  and forth. We like to have fun and we like
• 1:30:15
  to crack jokes at each other. So we're happy to have two very
• 1:30:20
  important, guys to Savannah. The really the product that
• 1:30:23
  Savannah banana has put out there.
• 1:30:25
  And it's funny because I was watching the Jimmy Fallon, show
• 1:30:29
  a couple of weeks ago and Steph Curry was on it and Steph, Curry
• 1:30:33
  brought up the Savannah bananas. And in the product that they put
• 1:30:37
  out there and that M and his children actually went to check
• 1:30:41
  it out that I think last year and said that it's one of the
• 1:30:45
  best products right now. It's great.
• 1:30:47
  It's like how did they compare it to with Trotters, the Harlem
• 1:30:52
  gold Globe, Trotters of, of baseball.
• 1:30:54
  Now when you hear something like that, guys, and you guys have
• 1:30:57
  been a part of it and and Really helped the growth when you hear
• 1:31:01
  something out from a great player, like Steph Curry from
• 1:31:04
  the face, one of the faces of the NBA.
• 1:31:06
  What do you say from that? You know, we hear that a lot
• 1:31:09
  that's a big comparison and it's an honor to be, you know,
• 1:31:12
  compared to the Globetrotters. They, they revolutionize the
• 1:31:15
  game of Bay basketball. The main difference is, we
• 1:31:19
  didn't revolutionize the game of baseball, we were just putting a
• 1:31:22
  unique spin on it, but the entertainment aspect is really
• 1:31:25
  where people are coming up with that.
• 1:31:27
  That comparison, the biggest difference right is is our games
• 1:31:31
  are not scripted like the Globetrotters, you know.
• 1:31:34
  It's I went to a game three years ago here in Savannah.
• 1:31:37
  And you know, the Globetrotters never, you know, they're always
• 1:31:41
  up my 30 points, right? The generals were were
• 1:31:44
  instructed to lose. So, you know, the competitive
• 1:31:47
  element is a big part of what we bring, you know.
• 1:31:50
  It's, it's real baseball, really, highly competitive
• 1:31:53
  baseball mixed in with that entertainment.
• 1:31:55
  But yeah, when when Jesse Cole says, start the clock, It's on
• 1:32:00
  for real. And yeah I mean that's that's
• 1:32:02
  huge praise from from Steph Curry and so many other people
• 1:32:05
  that say it but you know, hats off to them but we're doing our
• 1:32:09
  own thing run around race and and we love every step of it.
• 1:32:13
  Yeah, I think the combination of both the entertainment and a
• 1:32:17
  competitive side is what makes it so special because it is so
• 1:32:22
  interesting and entertaining for so many different audiences.
• 1:32:25
  Like we'll get three year olds, at our game, and we'll get 83
• 1:32:29
  year olds that are game and everyone in between and they're
• 1:32:31
  all all having a great time watching it.
• 1:32:33
  Yeah. No.
• 1:32:33
  Like for me, it's like I love the fact, like everybody always
• 1:32:37
  says baseball is born in, right? And, you know, getting getting
• 1:32:40
  to know burnsy like when this whole thing was going and we
• 1:32:43
  were trying to just talking about, you know, certain things
• 1:32:46
  like I love how you brought a different Dynamic to what
• 1:32:50
  actually baseball, isn't. It should be fun.
• 1:32:52
  But what I think a lot of people don't understand how
• 1:32:55
  unbelievably talented you guys are in doing what you're doing.
• 1:33:00
  and like, where like, as as you sit and see where it started and
• 1:33:05
  where it is now like How much of that part is, is obviously the
• 1:33:09
  athletic ability of being great, baseball players.
• 1:33:12
  But like, was there ever like a little transition of like, the
• 1:33:16
  acting? Or was that part of of getting
• 1:33:19
  the right guys, was not only being obviously, great baseball
• 1:33:23
  players, but also like the personality and like, hey,
• 1:33:26
  there's gonna be a different dynamics of this like in, and
• 1:33:29
  how did you figure out and pick and choose, like, kind of what
• 1:33:33
  was going to work and what wasn't?
• 1:33:34
  Yeah, you know, that job, um, it takes the right type of guy to
• 1:33:37
  play Banana ball. Really does because the name of
• 1:33:40
  our organization is fans, first, everything we do is it's for the
• 1:33:43
  fans and that's before the game during the game.
• 1:33:46
  After the game signing autographs, making those
• 1:33:47
  connections that's not for everybody.
• 1:33:49
  You know, there's there's guys that just want to suit it up and
• 1:33:52
  go out there and play and that's, that's totally fine.
• 1:33:54
  And there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:33:55
  But in order to survive and actually thrive in anal, and you
• 1:34:00
  have to get out of your comfort zone, you have to make those
• 1:34:03
  those personal connections. So not only do you have to be a
• 1:34:06
  great baseball player and Highly athletic.
• 1:34:08
  You've got to be an A+ human being.
• 1:34:11
  And that's one thing that we've been really proud of.
• 1:34:14
  I've been with the organization for five years.
• 1:34:16
  We've learned a lot, but, but present day.
• 1:34:19
  We just have we just have High Caliber high quality
• 1:34:22
  individuals, who, who know what this whole thing is about.
• 1:34:25
  They played a high level, they're playing free and easy.
• 1:34:30
  Unlike they were in college or pro ball but more importantly
• 1:34:33
  they're creating Unforgettable Moments by making those
• 1:34:35
  connections with those fans. So we value that culture piece
• 1:34:39
  more than the athleticism because we can find good
• 1:34:42
  baseball players, they're out there guys that got released
• 1:34:45
  guys that are, you know, in Indy ball, that gets signed, we can
• 1:34:48
  find those guys but to find the right mix of man.
• 1:34:52
  Your fans, first your high culture guy, you get it, you're
• 1:34:55
  willing to send those trick plays, you're willing to do
• 1:34:57
  things a little bit differently and but also still play at a
• 1:35:00
  high level and have fun. Yeah.
• 1:35:02
  We value the character immensely in banana land viral and I have
• 1:35:06
  actually talked about This but it's also the ability, for all
• 1:35:11
  these players to be able to turn that switch on and off.
• 1:35:14
  So like Java, whether it was you were starting or relieving.
• 1:35:17
  When you ran out to that mound, it was like you were completely
• 1:35:20
  locked in and you still are in all of these really talented
• 1:35:23
  players and you still have to be that locked in.
• 1:35:26
  But then have to kind of take a step back and entertain for a
• 1:35:29
  sec and then go back on the mound and face all these really
• 1:35:32
  talented hitters again. So it's it's a learning curve,
• 1:35:35
  finding that moment of okay. Like now it's time to go.
• 1:35:38
  I want to bring out the rules, Adam.
• 1:35:40
  We've talked about the banana ball rules a lot.
• 1:35:42
  I love The Showdown, I love the ball for Sprint, so those are
• 1:35:44
  probably my two favorites are the ones we've discussed for
• 1:35:46
  you. For any new rules that you guys
• 1:35:48
  have been thinking about coming up with and for you Connor as a
• 1:35:52
  picture like playing in those type of rules with that type of
• 1:35:54
  like okay, you have to small Force prints and stuff like
• 1:35:56
  that. How does it change from other
• 1:35:58
  levels of baseball that you played in the past?
• 1:35:59
  It was just so this summer, I went right from pitching in
• 1:36:04
  college with obviously normal baseball rules.
• 1:36:07
  To the banana ball rules, and the biggest adjustment is that
• 1:36:10
  it's just so much faster. Like you're getting the ball and
• 1:36:13
  going. And then the ball for Sprints is
• 1:36:16
  is just kind of another another level two throw strikes, two
• 1:36:21
  pound The Zone. But I mean, the game itself, I
• 1:36:25
  tell people this all the time, the game itself doesn't change,
• 1:36:27
  it's still that mono. V mono pitch, reverse hitter
• 1:36:30
  mentality. That makes baseball so special,
• 1:36:33
  it's just at a much faster level and there's a lot of stuff going
• 1:36:37
  on. You just need to stay locked in
• 1:36:39
  here all. So, like virus was talking about
• 1:36:42
  with the fans first is, you can't go have a bad game and
• 1:36:46
  then just go sit in your locker like you can't be like a bad
• 1:36:50
  team at after that. Like you have to find a way of
• 1:36:52
  okay. Like, now, this is something
• 1:36:54
  that's bigger than baseball's bigger than the result.
• 1:36:56
  I have to go make an impact on a fan because every time you go
• 1:37:00
  talk to these fans it's their first time eating you.
• 1:37:03
  Yeah. I'm gonna touch on something
• 1:37:05
  their job but you were to love this when You were playing, we
• 1:37:09
  have our pitchers throw on average, a pitch every six
• 1:37:11
  seconds. And that's literally from when
• 1:37:13
  they catch the ball, back from the catcher to, when they lift
• 1:37:15
  that lead leg working, fast is a big deal.
• 1:37:18
  Batters cannot step out of the batter's box.
• 1:37:20
  So being able to kind of mess with them and disrupt that
• 1:37:24
  timing by working fast. Getting those quick pitches in
• 1:37:26
  there, you also don't have to come set.
• 1:37:28
  We do have box, but there's no box for not coming set, so that
• 1:37:32
  quick pitching, that kind of stutter.
• 1:37:34
  Stepping really has an opportunity to throw off those
• 1:37:37
  hitters, to really kind of jam them up.
• 1:37:38
  They know the hitters know that the pitchers are working quick
• 1:37:41
  and filling up the Zone, we want to induce contact because those
• 1:37:45
  guys behind them, are ripping trick plays at a, at a 98% clip.
• 1:37:49
  But, you know, the, the biggest change, at least for pictures,
• 1:37:53
  that's, they have the toughest guy time in banana ball because
• 1:37:56
  they're just gasped, right? The cardio has to be at an
• 1:38:00
  all-time high. They're working fast.
• 1:38:02
  Sometimes they have to throw in a dance, maybe not.
• 1:38:05
  But there are some FAQ Really good dudes for able to get
• 1:38:08
  comfortable in the box. But they have these these these,
• 1:38:11
  these these kind of like, little tools and their tool belt.
• 1:38:14
  To disrupt that and kind of level the playing field.
• 1:38:16
  SO pitching is is a lot of fun and banana ball if you learn how
• 1:38:23
  to use it and you don't kind of revert back to.
• 1:38:25
  All right, make this pitch. You can do that.
• 1:38:29
  Right there are times too. I got to make this pitch on
• 1:38:32
  facing Jake school for my first round.
• 1:38:33
  Pick out of high school. I got to make this pitch or I
• 1:38:36
  can just grab and go pay some off.
• 1:38:39
  Move them off the plate. Quick Pitch him, you know slide
• 1:38:42
  whatever you got to do. It's kind of it's kind of
• 1:38:44
  interesting and we're continuing to unlock new ways that pitchers
• 1:38:47
  can kind of like level the playing field and he's haters
• 1:38:51
  because they know their filming up the Zone.
• 1:38:52
  That's the biggest transition. Yes, I got a question to you on
• 1:38:56
  that. Like, as far as like, just the
• 1:38:58
  adjustments or whatever, like, as far from the creative side of
• 1:39:02
  it, is there ever like a sit down?
• 1:39:04
  Like hey, this is what we're going to do.
• 1:39:06
  Or is it just kind of both? Like, obviously you said it's
• 1:39:10
  not scripted, which we all know, but is there a creative aspect
• 1:39:13
  to it? Where you Where you guys sit
• 1:39:15
  down and be like, hey, I think this works or there's like a
• 1:39:17
  viral tiktok dance or something that you can always throw in
• 1:39:21
  certain places. Do you have a creative like
• 1:39:23
  where you guys sit before games or before like a tour or
• 1:39:27
  whatever you guys doing? See like, hey, I think this will
• 1:39:29
  hit maybe it doesn't and then maybe he thought something
• 1:39:32
  hitting it doesn't. Do you guys do you have like a
• 1:39:35
  creative or anything that you sit down?
• 1:39:37
  And like, yeah, that that didn't really go great or hey we might
• 1:39:40
  want to change it or hey, this was awesome.
• 1:39:42
  We're gonna continue to do this. Yeah, we have a whole creative
• 1:39:45
  team. We have a directive
• 1:39:47
  entertainment, we have a marketing team that they know
• 1:39:50
  the current trends on on all the social media platforms and
• 1:39:53
  they'll Implement and program. Some, we do a thing called a
• 1:39:57
  322. That's probably where you saw
• 1:39:58
  the picture. And the second baseman,
• 1:40:01
  shortstop, in the center field, are all come kind of converged
• 1:40:03
  and they do that little dance and they throw a pitch that's
• 1:40:06
  called the 322 usually happens in the third inning, second bad
• 1:40:10
  or second Pitch. Everybody knows it's coming.
• 1:40:11
  We just don't know what pitch is going to be thrown, but but
• 1:40:14
  those things are programmed by our entertainment team, but we
• 1:40:17
  also, we also get inspiration from the players.
• 1:40:20
  We want the players to be bought in at players.
• 1:40:22
  Have great ideas, they will be bought in on those great ideas
• 1:40:26
  and yeah, they may fall flat and and we adjust, but every game we
• 1:40:30
  do anywhere between 25 to 30 different new elements
• 1:40:34
  entertainment, elements. Every single game, we have our
• 1:40:37
  standards, but we also do new things, because people who come
• 1:40:41
  to the games, who they come to multiple games, we don't want to
• 1:40:43
  just be A one trick pony, where they said, I've seen it.
• 1:40:46
  I don't need to see it again. There's always going to be new
• 1:40:49
  things, kind of like Saturday Night Live Saturday night.
• 1:40:51
  Live's usually a brand new show, every single weekend.
• 1:40:53
  We are no different from the entertainment.
• 1:40:56
  Aspect of that. I'm going to get out of here.
• 1:40:58
  I love you guys. I'll see you guys again.
• 1:41:02
  See you buddy. Oh yeah great many Java.
• 1:41:04
  I was gonna say that right when I got to Savannah it was It was
• 1:41:09
  very much encouraged to be yourself.
• 1:41:11
  And if you had any sort of ideas, like share them and
• 1:41:15
  anyway that you feel like you can be different like, we always
• 1:41:19
  say, whatever's normal, do the complete opposite.
• 1:41:21
  So it just makes for such a, a great room of people just
• 1:41:26
  collaborating and trying to to find some awesome ideas.
• 1:41:29
  Well, and by the way, we are talking to Savannah, bananas
• 1:41:32
  pitcher, Conor Harris and Savannah, bananas coach and
• 1:41:35
  director Adam. He's been on our show before
• 1:41:37
  Adam's friend of the show and he's been working with us trying
• 1:41:42
  to get us to Savannah banana game and I'm not online.
• 1:41:45
  Me and Java been going back and forth.
• 1:41:47
  You can ask any of the guys on my show, my producers, my
• 1:41:50
  executive producers, this guy, he's ducking and weaving me.
• 1:41:54
  Now, he really doesn't believe that I can't steal from him.
• 1:41:58
  Now, I am athletically gifted, he could say whatever he wants.
• 1:42:01
  And he says, oh, why don't you get into a box?
• 1:42:04
  I never said, I could get into a box and, and swing against him.
• 1:42:07
  And if I do that, I gotta I gotta get at least five 600
• 1:42:11
  pitches before. I'm going to stand in a box that
• 1:42:13
  got a guy who's already came out and told me, tell me he could
• 1:42:16
  throw about 94.95 still. So if he could do that, it's
• 1:42:20
  gonna take a little bit of longer to figure out how to
• 1:42:22
  swing again still so, but I want to base stealing, it's really
• 1:42:25
  reading seeing where he's going to pitch.
• 1:42:29
  And if he's pitching around somebody, if he's throwing it to
• 1:42:31
  the dirt, that's my best chance of getting a lead again.
• 1:42:34
  So he thinks that I don't have it.
• 1:42:36
  I was a great athlete. I was I was a great hockey
• 1:42:39
  player. I was a semi-pro hockey player.
• 1:42:42
  Could have been a pro hockey player before hurt my knee and
• 1:42:44
  the guy doesn't want to give me Any credit.
• 1:42:46
  So you know what, I have told Joba.
• 1:42:48
  We'll do it in front of a crowd of, he won't do it, you know
• 1:42:51
  what it is boys. He will not do it because if he
• 1:42:55
  knows he's going to be in front of 10, 15, 20 thousand people.
• 1:43:00
  And I steal a base against Joba Chamberlain.
• 1:43:03
  He will have a conniption, he will jump, he will absolutely
• 1:43:08
  try to rip my freaking head off and then he comes out.
• 1:43:12
  He says, I'm a better shape than you Java.
• 1:43:14
  I we could have a contest with that.
• 1:43:16
  Well, have all the ladies vote. Okay, this, Ah, that's kind of
• 1:43:20
  contest. Yes, man makes fun of my size.
• 1:43:23
  I'm five ten and a half. Okay, I'm not sick three, I'm
• 1:43:27
  not six three but I'm in good shape.
• 1:43:29
  I you know I'm 205 210, I'm in really good shape but you don't
• 1:43:33
  want to give me any credit. You don't want to give me any
• 1:43:35
  credit. That's fine.
• 1:43:36
  He's my partner on this show and I love him but one-on-one when
• 1:43:40
  it comes to anything he wants to do.
• 1:43:42
  I will face him. I told him.
• 1:43:45
  Play basketball with you. And now my executive producer in
• 1:43:48
  the background fish, who you guys have seen before?
• 1:43:51
  He does our Sports minute. He says the let's do something.
• 1:43:54
  Let's try to do a football thing.
• 1:43:56
  Let's try to do a baseball thing.
• 1:43:57
  Let's do it. Do a hockey thing.
• 1:43:59
  I'll do whatever job it wants. If he wants to do it.
• 1:44:02
  I don't think he's gonna do it. I really don't so I'll call him
• 1:44:06
  out on it. Let's do it at a savannah.
• 1:44:08
  Banana game, I don't care. I am up for it, Java freaking
• 1:44:13
  Chamberlain against the mouth. And whoever wins, I'll do
• 1:44:17
  whatever you want. I'll embarrass myself on a, on a
• 1:44:19
  baseball field, I'll do a dance. I mean, I love to dance.
• 1:44:22
  I break dance, I do all that stuff.
• 1:44:24
  I mean, I, I'll do whatever he wants me to do to my parents
• 1:44:27
  myself. Anyways, this is not about us.
• 1:44:29
  This is about you guys. And you know, it's so
• 1:44:32
  interesting because Connor I've always watched pitching and and
• 1:44:36
  to me pitching is the hardest thing in sports.
• 1:44:38
  It really is. I don't care what anybody says,
• 1:44:40
  it's it to me, you getting into the mind of Of a hitter and
• 1:44:46
  really dominating at, you know, at the mound and trying to
• 1:44:51
  figure out what to pitch against the guy that's going to probably
• 1:44:55
  either guess or guess the right way, or guess, the wrong way to
• 1:45:00
  hit against you when you're on the mound, what is it?
• 1:45:02
  Like do you like that that thorn in your mind where you have the
• 1:45:05
  control of the game and the game is in your hands?
• 1:45:08
  Or do you not one of those guys that don't like the control of
• 1:45:12
  the game and you want to make sure that everybody is working
• 1:45:15
  at, you know, everybody's working in sync with each other
• 1:45:17
  on the field or even your manager or your coaches, you
• 1:45:20
  know, in The Dugout. Yeah, great question.
• 1:45:22
  So I don't think anyone that's a pitcher will deny the fact that
• 1:45:27
  they love to be in control of the game.
• 1:45:29
  I mean, the game starts getting starts with you.
• 1:45:31
  There's no way that anyone can hit a home run.
• 1:45:34
  No way can get a strike out, ground ball anything without you
• 1:45:38
  throwing that pitch. So, I used to always say that
• 1:45:41
  even at a young age that I just love being on the hill and I was
• 1:45:44
  able to look down at the hitter. Um, but with that being said,
• 1:45:47
  you got to trust the people around you, so especially in
• 1:45:50
  banana ball. It's worked so fast.
• 1:45:53
  So a lot of times they'll be different sequences and the
• 1:45:57
  catcher will call out a sequence and you'll have four straight
• 1:46:01
  pitches and you know what they are.
• 1:46:02
  So you can literally catch the ball and go right back into it.
• 1:46:05
  So just like any, any team, you have a lot of confidence in
• 1:46:10
  yourself, and you gotta love that Spotlight, but at the same
• 1:46:13
  time, you gotta trust your teammates as well.
• 1:46:15
  Adam, obviously, you've been with the team for a long time
• 1:46:17
  and you've had all these different types of celebrities
• 1:46:19
  have come in and baseball players that have played on the
• 1:46:21
  team. Even though errol's favorite
• 1:46:23
  football player, Travis Hunter was evolved with you guys this
• 1:46:26
  year. He is not my favorite football
• 1:46:28
  player. Don't let him lie to you.
• 1:46:30
  All right, here's the quick story guys.
• 1:46:32
  I I have gone to the Heisman Trophy dinner twice.
• 1:46:36
  I'm going this year. It's December 13th.
• 1:46:39
  It's it's a week from actually. It's this week on Saturday.
• 1:46:43
  So I'm going to be in the city, I'll be at the Highs man.
• 1:46:46
  We'll see if Fernando Mendoza wins the Heisman Trophy as he is
• 1:46:50
  expected to do. I was there when the gremlin
• 1:46:53
  won, I gave him the nickname. The gremlin, it's Travis, the
• 1:46:56
  gremlin Haunter. All right, I was there and
• 1:46:59
  here's the fact that that's him that that's our cartoon
• 1:47:02
  character of Travis on. All right.
• 1:47:04
  Travis is an interesting, dude. All right.
• 1:47:08
  I don't I don't hate upon his personality.
• 1:47:11
  I think he has got a unique personality.
• 1:47:12
  He has a love fetish for Deion Sanders.
• 1:47:16
  All right, and Dion was there, I have a lot of respect for Dion
• 1:47:20
  Because Dion has a great personality.
• 1:47:21
  He's one of the greatest at what he did as a football player and
• 1:47:25
  he was he was actually a professional baseball player.
• 1:47:26
  He's the only player I can remember that that have played
• 1:47:31
  in the same day two different sports.
• 1:47:33
  He's the only play I think is ever done that so that's amazing
• 1:47:36
  with Deion Sanders has done. Travis Hunter is not the on
• 1:47:40
  Sanders so when we were at the Highsmith trophy dinner he was
• 1:47:44
  up. He was taking they were all
• 1:47:45
  taking pictures with the Heisman Trophy before they go to the
• 1:47:49
  they go to the room where they're going to be in there is
• 1:47:52
  the announcement or who's going to win the Heisman.
• 1:47:54
  So I'm standing there and I'm up front and I'm talking to Ashton
• 1:47:59
  Gente. All right, it was cam cam
• 1:48:02
  Warden, Ashton Gente, will go back and forth and we'll talk
• 1:48:04
  about the draft. So I go up there and they were
• 1:48:07
  talking, Ashton jeanty asked, cam Ward.
• 1:48:10
  If one of the New York teams drafty, do you know what, you
• 1:48:15
  know, what would you do? Are, would you be excited to go
• 1:48:17
  to one of the New York teams any and Travis Scott to came right
• 1:48:20
  out? He's like, yeah, the Giants are
• 1:48:21
  pretty good. He's like those Jets to play for
• 1:48:23
  the Jets. So I'm a Jet fan, I heard him
• 1:48:26
  say it, and I turned around and I said, Who are you?
• 1:48:31
  He's this and he says, and he said, he just started talking
• 1:48:35
  and said, were you a jet fantasy?
• 1:48:37
  Yeah. You're in New York.
• 1:48:38
  You're in Manhattan. Obviously, I'm a Jet fan and he
• 1:48:41
  and he went back and forth with me.
• 1:48:43
  And I said, he says, yeah, I wouldn't want to play for the
• 1:48:45
  Jets and I said, who would you rather play for?
• 1:48:47
  And I said, as a joke, I I don't remember, I think it was the Las
• 1:48:51
  Vegas or the Jaguars and he looked at me, he's better than
• 1:48:54
  the Jets. I turned around and said, don't
• 1:48:55
  worry, we don't need you. We got Stores Gardner and I
• 1:48:58
  walked around. I walked out of the room and two
• 1:49:00
  of the reporters to the beat Riders of the Colorado.
• 1:49:03
  Colorado came up to me and said I can't believe you did that in
• 1:49:07
  front of all the media, the way you did it.
• 1:49:09
  And I said, I don't give a crap who he thinks he is.
• 1:49:11
  Hey, we're gonna attack the Jets in New York.
• 1:49:13
  I'm gonna attack you and then I gave him the nickname, the
• 1:49:16
  ground. So there you go.
• 1:49:18
  Yes. True story.
• 1:49:19
  My face is based on that question.
• 1:49:20
  Like, do you have any like, celebrities shoe store other
• 1:49:23
  sports or celebrities from even? Not even I gotta show you the
• 1:49:25
  Jersey. I got made for him.
• 1:49:26
  Hold on. That were involved with the
• 1:49:28
  Savannah bananas this year and any upcoming Like, any upcoming
• 1:49:32
  guys for this year? That you guys have guys played
• 1:49:34
  for the 2026 season. Yeah, no.
• 1:49:37
  No plans yet. That will, that's there.
• 1:49:40
  I know. Jesse is the Maestro behind
• 1:49:43
  behind that magic but You know, one of the Epic celebrity
• 1:49:47
  non-baseball appearances that we, we had this past year, was
• 1:49:50
  that Yankee Stadium, where we had Eli Manning come out and be
• 1:49:55
  a undercover umpire? And so, in between Indians, I
• 1:49:59
  don't know if you saw that, it was epic, you know, in between
• 1:50:01
  Innings, all the umpires run in Out.
• 1:50:04
  Get a drink of water, and outruns all the umpires,
• 1:50:08
  including Eli Manning. And he goes to first base and
• 1:50:12
  you boxes a call. And, and, you know, they review
• 1:50:16
  it gets overturned and he gets thrown out of the game by the
• 1:50:20
  home plate umpire because he's ridiculous.
• 1:50:22
  But it was so funny because he had no idea what to do out
• 1:50:26
  there. He had no idea how to call safe
• 1:50:28
  or out, like it was for a guy that is gonna be in the Hall of
• 1:50:32
  Famer. I don't even know, he's on the
• 1:50:34
  Hall of Fame. You will be, he will.
• 1:50:35
  Um, yeah, yeah, no idea how to call Safer out.
• 1:50:39
  He had no idea where to stand, but that was, that was an epic
• 1:50:41
  epic celebrity appearance. We also have some great musical
• 1:50:46
  guests, man, we had a Chance, the Rapper was out there, which
• 1:50:49
  was epic. We had 50 50 Cent man.
• 1:50:52
  I got, I got, I didn't try man. I got to sign champagne bottle
• 1:50:57
  here from him, but yeah, you know, we keep elevating our game
• 1:51:01
  on that, that entertainment piece.
• 1:51:02
  And it's kind of scary because now fans are expecting just
• 1:51:07
  amazing, you know, celebrity appearances.
• 1:51:09
  So when we roll into a city and we don't have anybody, people
• 1:51:12
  are kind of let down that like fade or, you know, chance
• 1:51:16
  doesn't come out and do a song but, you know, nothing nothing
• 1:51:19
  playing next year. But I'm sure there's gonna be
• 1:51:22
  some Epic appearances. No doubt.
• 1:51:24
  You know it's so funny. You brought a 50 as long as he's
• 1:51:26
  not throwing out of Mound because we've seen what he did
• 1:51:28
  at Citi Field. He can't he definitely can't
• 1:51:31
  throw and I I would love to see 50 Cent and he did.
• 1:51:35
  He play against one another. I would love to see that after
• 1:51:38
  watching that documentary that I I could see 50 throw at P Diddy.
• 1:51:45
  So funny, funny story. Funny, story, when Freddie, he
• 1:51:48
  he flew in from Milan. Oh, really?
• 1:51:51
  I just just to do like a, like, a three minute little, you know,
• 1:51:55
  number of like a, like a montage mall is top songs.
• 1:51:58
  It was epic, it was unbelievable.
• 1:51:59
  Um, his body guards, got the god arms like, like 30 inch arms,
• 1:52:04
  but right after the right after he was done, he helped back in
• 1:52:08
  that private jet back over tomorrow.
• 1:52:09
  You know, it's funny and Java talks about shape and stuff like
• 1:52:14
  that. I, I'm a pretty big, dude.
• 1:52:16
  Okay, and he sits on. I'm this.
• 1:52:19
  And I'm that and I, I made a joke.
• 1:52:21
  Have you ever seen the movie Flubber?
• 1:52:27
  I'm gonna get myself into trouble.
• 1:52:30
  So I got to stop. Anyways, did you guys see my
• 1:52:35
  Gremlin Jersey over here? This is, this is nice.
• 1:52:37
  Look at that. Oh, look how beautiful it looks.
• 1:52:41
  Oh, all right, the truth is I I got a I got it to Sean Watson
• 1:52:48
  Jersey coming in the mail, I got on the back of it it's got
• 1:52:51
  rubbing tug I never miss an Abita.
• 1:52:57
  I you know what it is is you have to have fun and when I go
• 1:53:01
  to these events and especially I'll be at the Heisman Trophy on
• 1:53:04
  Saturday, everybody that doesn't know me knows me because I'm
• 1:53:09
  loud, you know, crazy and I've got my own takes to everything.
• 1:53:13
  I'm not gonna sit here and beat around a bush.
• 1:53:15
  When I ask a question, I'm going to make sure that the athlete
• 1:53:18
  knows who I am and understands that I'm not one of those normal
• 1:53:22
  interviews that is boring, lame and stupid, and you're going to
• 1:53:26
  ask the same damn question every single time I want to make sure
• 1:53:29
  that hey, that's a pretty good question.
• 1:53:31
  Oh man, that guy's out of his effing mine.
• 1:53:33
  You know, that's when you get remembered, I don't care.
• 1:53:36
  Job it came on this show as a guest.
• 1:53:39
  Job it came on this show as a guest.
• 1:53:41
  And when he came on the shawl, I tell the story all the time.
• 1:53:44
  I'm only coming off for 20 minutes, that's what my
• 1:53:47
  producers told me. He winds up taking over the show
• 1:53:50
  for an hour and a half, okay? And now, he's now me and him are
• 1:53:53
  business partners, and we do a show together and I love working
• 1:53:56
  with Java Channel. I'm not going to take anything
• 1:53:59
  as much as we go back and forth and we undermine each other on
• 1:54:03
  the show, in many different ways on and making fun of each other.
• 1:54:07
  I've got a tremendous amount of respect for him and he's got a
• 1:54:10
  tremendous amount of respect for me.
• 1:54:11
  He understands what I'm good at. I understand what he's good at
• 1:54:15
  and that's what makes us a good combination Speedy.
• 1:54:18
  Gives us that little, you know, that little Edge.
• 1:54:21
  And then there's fish and all the guys that work with us.
• 1:54:23
  And I think that's that has to do with a team.
• 1:54:26
  And you guys said the Savannah, bananas is a team, the way you
• 1:54:29
  guys have built your organization and I don't think
• 1:54:32
  anybody can copycat what you've got guys done, and how you
• 1:54:34
  elevated your sports to the next level and it's changed baseball.
• 1:54:38
  It's made baseball more even more interest.
• 1:54:41
  Thing to watch and it brings in new fans that might not be
• 1:54:44
  interested in the sport. Just want to are interested in
• 1:54:47
  the entertainment end of it. I think it's incredible.
• 1:54:50
  What you guys have done? I really is.
• 1:54:52
  And every time I get a chance to see it on on the internet on
• 1:54:56
  tiktok and Instagram, you guys are some of the most watched
• 1:55:00
  frames on those on those channels and all those different
• 1:55:04
  platforms. It's it's fantastic.
• 1:55:06
  What you guys do and how athletically gifted some of you
• 1:55:10
  guys are. And and by the way, some of you
• 1:55:12
  guys can actually dance on very I'm very shocked that some of
• 1:55:15
  you guys actually have some kind of dancing ability.
• 1:55:18
  I mean, because I met a lot of athletes that have told me, oh,
• 1:55:22
  I could dance. I went to the NHL draft.
• 1:55:25
  Well, what was it? It had to be about six years
• 1:55:27
  ago. And I went to a club after the
• 1:55:30
  draft after the second day. And I was with a bunch of
• 1:55:34
  draftees, guys that got drafted and they were telling me, Oh,
• 1:55:37
  yeah. I'm a, I'm a fly dance.
• 1:55:39
  I can, I can, I can break, I could do all this other stuff.
• 1:55:42
  I was, okay, let's see what you got.
• 1:55:43
  I tell the DJ to give me some break music and this guy, I
• 1:55:47
  don't know what you call it. I, he was hipping and he was
• 1:55:51
  hopping him, but he should have hit then hopped out of the damn
• 1:55:53
  dance club because he didn't know what the hell he was doing.
• 1:55:55
  So I, I think it's pretty. I think it's pretty incredible.
• 1:55:58
  You guys have some Rhythm and you guys, you guys are
• 1:56:01
  entertaining, man. I really I, I want to go and
• 1:56:06
  experience just being a Dugout and hanging out with you guys
• 1:56:09
  while you guys are doing and I think it or maybe even be
• 1:56:11
  involved with, I would love to see Java get involved in the
• 1:56:14
  comedy end of it. Oh my God, if Jabba actually had
• 1:56:18
  any rhythm and I don't know if he does I would absolutely love
• 1:56:23
  to see Java Chamberlain. Try to do the moonwalk or the
• 1:56:26
  yeah you know the Rodger rabbit or something like that, I would
• 1:56:29
  love it. I would pay to see job of
• 1:56:32
  Chamberlain, try to get, I would pay Java doesn't have his high
• 1:56:35
  school theater background. I would, oh, that's another
• 1:56:37
  thing. He was telling us he was at
• 1:56:42
  Radio City and it was doing Broadway shows.
• 1:56:45
  I would be fun to watch Java Chamberlain in a Broadway show,
• 1:56:49
  but you guys are amazing and Connor.
• 1:56:52
  I, this is the first time you've been on our show, and there it
• 1:56:55
  is. That's, that's that, that's a
• 1:56:57
  great Background. By the way, our executive
• 1:56:59
  producer, fish puts a lot of time into these graphics, and I
• 1:57:03
  think he does Tremendous job in. I've never met you Connor but
• 1:57:08
  you look like you have a great personality, you're young and
• 1:57:11
  up-and-coming and we know Adam, you know, we love you.
• 1:57:14
  Every time you come on this show, you you brighten up our
• 1:57:17
  show and and you're just a unique individual and and what
• 1:57:21
  you and your partner has done with the banana.
• 1:57:23
  You know, the banana product in Savannah.
• 1:57:25
  Bananas is remarkable. You guys got to me.
• 1:57:29
  I would love to do a live show at one of your events to
• 1:57:32
  entertain the fans while you're doing a live show.
• 1:57:35
  I would love to do it. If you guys would let us do it,
• 1:57:37
  I think what have you guys laughing?
• 1:57:39
  We'd have your fans laughing. Well bring job on maybe we'll
• 1:57:42
  hang them up on a you know a tree and we'll use them out as
• 1:57:44
  a, you know, a pinata or something.
• 1:57:46
  You know, we talked about this last time, get out to a game.
• 1:57:52
  It didn't happen. We're coming back to Yankee
• 1:57:54
  Stadium for. I think we're playing three
• 1:57:56
  games at Yankee Stadium this year.
• 1:57:58
  So that's good job of back out there to the old stomping
• 1:58:01
  grounds. Get you guys out there, let's do
• 1:58:03
  it. Oh, Speedy, PDF Is allowed in
• 1:58:05
  Yankee Stadium, but we'll put a mask on and let them in better
• 1:58:09
  way. Let's get you out there, guys.
• 1:58:10
  You better wear his underwear, you know, I think one of your
• 1:58:13
  guys need to teach Speedy how to shave.
• 1:58:15
  I mean, this man needs some shaving, you know, training.
• 1:58:19
  I mean, I bought him a manscape. He doesn't want to take it home
• 1:58:22
  with them. I think it's a Josh.
• 1:58:24
  I know you told me to give it to Josh.
• 1:58:26
  I wanted to give it to you. I mean, you need to do some
• 1:58:28
  cleaning in many different areas, if you know what I mean,
• 1:58:31
  but nevertheless, we would love to come out.
• 1:58:34
  We would love to come out and hang out what you guys.
• 1:58:36
  I like I said I'm a big fan of your product and what you guys
• 1:58:39
  have been doing and let's talk Adam.
• 1:58:41
  I you guys are coming out to New York.
• 1:58:43
  Let's do it. Let's let's figure out how we
• 1:58:46
  can. We could do something together
• 1:58:47
  and job will come out. 100%. He come out and do it and maybe
• 1:58:52
  we'll get him to do this bed. I doubt it.
• 1:58:54
  I don't think he has it in him to embarrass himself but if he
• 1:59:00
  does I'm here for him, you know but I'm just kidding Java.
• 1:59:04
  Calm. Down, you're going on but I
• 1:59:06
  would love to do the bed. I would love to do the bed.
• 1:59:08
  If he if he's willing to do it in front of the fans, I will do
• 1:59:11
  it. I have no problem.
• 1:59:12
  Here's the thing, here's the thing really quick on that it
• 1:59:15
  has to do with the catcher so much right.
• 1:59:18
  Like that's on the whole time and and the break time of the
• 1:59:22
  pitcher but so much is on the catcher, right?
• 1:59:24
  So you know, he can pick his catcher hey you throw it was
• 1:59:29
  catcher. He could I get to pick the
• 1:59:31
  hitter. It's gotta be something that
• 1:59:33
  could hit in the Box because I he can't, you know, if he's
• 1:59:36
  pitching strikes and nobody can hit the ball, it's like it's
• 1:59:40
  pretty much. It's easy for the catcher to
• 1:59:41
  just throw it to second base. So I have to, I have to guess,
• 1:59:45
  right? And, and I got to play, you
• 1:59:47
  know, what's a guessing game, you know, it's it's a mind game.
• 1:59:49
  When you're on, you're on first base in trying to steal from
• 1:59:52
  Sac, you know, it's still to second, I know it is, I, when I
• 1:59:55
  did it, it it's it's an art, it's an art to do that.
• 1:59:58
  So if he thinks that I don't have the art work to do that.
• 2:00:03
  Well then let's make. The BET and let's do it baby.
• 2:00:05
  He's gonna take all of us out to a nice steak dinner.
• 2:00:08
  After I beat him in his bed, I got five chances.
• 2:00:10
  They do it. So I I one out of five.
• 2:00:14
  I'm on I I think I could get three out of five.
• 2:00:17
  How's that? So, Love your Java, love you.
• 2:00:27
  But let's do it. Let's figure it out.
• 2:00:29
  I I'd love to have some fun and I know my boys.
• 2:00:33
  All these guys would love it. They'd be videoing, everybody
• 2:00:36
  would be videoing. I don't know if job is gonna
• 2:00:37
  love it but I love it and it'll be fun to watch and and and and
• 2:00:42
  competition, I love competition. We love competition.
• 2:00:44
  You know, I think we're the, I don't care what anybody says
• 2:00:47
  competition or not. I think we have the best show in
• 2:00:50
  America. I don't think there's anybody
• 2:00:51
  that comes close to what we do. So and I put us against anybody.
• 2:00:55
  I put us against anybody on any network and and I think our
• 2:01:00
  knowledge and our, you know, our entertainment in the product
• 2:01:03
  that we put out, there is as good as anybody's and I'm
• 2:01:06
  willing to bet anybody on that, I'd put anything on it.
• 2:01:08
  So if I'm so confident and not, I'm confident about anything, so
• 2:01:12
  why not be confident about stealing a base on job?
• 2:01:15
  A Chamberlain. So that's it.
• 2:01:18
  Here. Anyways, I wanted to add that to
• 2:01:21
  you guys but Adam I I love everything that you guys do and
• 2:01:26
  keep up the good work and and we will talk off air and and it's
• 2:01:30
  very nice to meet you Connor. I think it's Sensational, I
• 2:01:33
  found out that you know, Nathan told me you were a job at
• 2:01:36
  Chamberlain fan. I it's funny because Jabba was
• 2:01:39
  one of my favorite players in the mid-2000s.
• 2:01:43
  I I was always I was in a I never wore jerseys besides my
• 2:01:49
  own name on the back of the jersey and there's only four
• 2:01:52
  Yankee jerseys I've ever bought and you'll keep errors.
• 2:01:56
  One of them. Don Mattingly is another Bernie
• 2:01:59
  Williams is another. And now and and Joppa
• 2:02:03
  Chamberlain. So when Java came on the show, I
• 2:02:05
  was wearing a Java Chamberlain 2009 Jersey and he was like,
• 2:02:08
  yeah, rock that maybe rock that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:02:11
  And, and over the years, that won't over the years over the
• 2:02:16
  last two years, since we've been back and forth doing, you know,
• 2:02:19
  the stuff that we've been doing, I say to myself, I love the
• 2:02:22
  Jersey. Maybe I should send it the job
• 2:02:24
  so he can wear it because every time I wear it, it might not
• 2:02:28
  smell very good after the show. So yeah.
• 2:02:31
  So anyways, that's it. I, I don't want to get too deep
• 2:02:35
  into any more of my craziness on this show because I don't want
• 2:02:37
  to get myself into trouble. Anyways, you guys are
• 2:02:41
  Sensational before we let you go.
• 2:02:43
  You guys have any particular shows that are coming up in the
• 2:02:48
  near future that fans could know about?
• 2:02:51
  Or they can find buying tickets for the near future for this
• 2:02:55
  event of bananas, man. Good luck.
• 2:02:57
  Buying tickets, man. We, we were really fortunate
• 2:02:59
  that the four and a half million Go on the waitlist to get
• 2:03:02
  tickets, but we open up down in Tallahassee at Florida, State
• 2:03:06
  University, we're taking all six of our teams down there.
• 2:03:09
  We're going to play two games at dick, Howser Stadium, where
• 2:03:12
  Florida, State baseball plays. And then we're gonna go right
• 2:03:15
  across the street playing the football stadium.
• 2:03:16
  And so, that's, that's where we open up.
• 2:03:19
  But, you know, we're coming, we're coming into your work,
• 2:03:21
  we're coming to Lincoln Nebraska, you know, home a job
• 2:03:25
  of Chamberlain there and all across the country.
• 2:03:27
  We're hitting 44 States, I believe.
• 2:03:29
  So we're coming to a, you know, come to a ballpark near you, you
• 2:03:33
  just do your best to get in, you know, it's, it's, we're
• 2:03:37
  fortunate enough to have this moment in time where we're
• 2:03:40
  selling out, but, you know, we're in the offseason right
• 2:03:42
  now. Connor Connors working his butt
• 2:03:44
  off. So when they come and watch him
• 2:03:45
  play, he's gonna continue to fill up that Strike Zone, but
• 2:03:48
  yeah, you know, come on out, we were not hard to find.
• 2:03:52
  Well, we're gonna come out. When are you guys, when are you
• 2:03:55
  guys going to be in New York? Yeah, it's some time.
• 2:03:57
  That's all right. You know what?
• 2:03:59
  Well, I'll be Contact with you guys where where absolutely up
• 2:04:04
  for going to a savannah banana game?
• 2:04:07
  I never never, I've never been to one.
• 2:04:09
  I watch it every time on tiktok and on, on the social media's
• 2:04:13
  Instagrams, and like I said, you guys are rocking it right now.
• 2:04:15
  Everybody. I've seen you got, I've seen
• 2:04:18
  people talk about it on Jimmy Fallon show.
• 2:04:20
  I've seen on the Jamie Kimball show.
• 2:04:22
  I've seen it on ESPN. Everybody talks about what you
• 2:04:25
  guys are doing right now. It's it's against the party
• 2:04:28
  animals, April 25th, and 26th. How crazy is that?
• 2:04:31
  My birthday is the 29th. So you guys are going to be in
• 2:04:35
  New York around my birthday tourist Bill.
• 2:04:39
  I'm gonna come absolutely from my birthday.
• 2:04:41
  That would be so fun. I don't want you guys sing.
• 2:04:44
  Happy Birthday to me. That's pretty embarrassing.
• 2:04:45
  But hey, you know what? If Java comes in, I, you know,
• 2:04:49
  if Jabba's willing to sing, Happy Birthday to me, then, you
• 2:04:51
  guys can do that too. I don't know if I had the.
• 2:04:53
  I don't think job will ever do that but hey, you know, maybe he
• 2:04:57
  will. So anyways, Adam Thank you for
• 2:05:01
  joining us. Thank you to Connor.
• 2:05:03
  You guys The Sensational, keep up the good work and we'll see
• 2:05:06
  you soon, buddy. Beautiful, thank you very much.
• 2:05:10
  You guys, I love the jerseys on you guys, you both wearing Java
• 2:05:15
  jerseys and one for the Royals. And by the way, Java won two
• 2:05:19
  World Series, one with the Royals and one with the Yankees
• 2:05:22
  and he had a chance, right? He had a chance to win it with
• 2:05:25
  the guardians, but he fell short.
• 2:05:26
  Everyone lie. Yeah, he fell short.
• 2:05:29
  But what I would he have been the first player in baseball
• 2:05:34
  history to win three World Series with three different
• 2:05:36
  teams. I think he would be.
• 2:05:37
  In other words some that did back to back.
• 2:05:39
  Yeah. I'm not sure about three.
• 2:05:40
  Like yes, let's say that's short of his fan I think I think.
• 2:05:43
  Yeah. I think Terence Gore That Bass
• 2:05:46
  running that specialist kind of like you were yeah his one three
• 2:05:51
  with three different teams out of my love.
• 2:05:53
  That's right now you're right a little funny story to say about
• 2:06:00
  good job with the number 62 when I was young girl I was so
• 2:06:04
  infatuated with wearing number 62 that the Little League
• 2:06:08
  jerseys which obviously only one up to like 22.
• 2:06:12
  I really wanted to wear 62 and my dad was a coach so my dad got
• 2:06:16
  the number 12 Jersey. Got the number six jersey took
• 2:06:19
  the six off that Jersey, and put it over the one.
• 2:06:22
  So I was number 62. When I was nine years old, Wow.
• 2:06:26
  You're you're a die-hard job of Chamberlain fan.
• 2:06:30
  We gotta get. Oh yeah.
• 2:06:30
  We're the flat brim, right? Just like you did.
• 2:06:33
  Wow! We're just For Recess where to
• 2:06:35
  school. They've been kind of why you
• 2:06:36
  want a hot. You can't even wear it and
• 2:06:37
  collect in class. Like, For Recess.
• 2:06:39
  I gotta be like Java. That's crazy.
• 2:06:42
  We definitely I'm gonna work on it, we'll come out Yankee
• 2:06:45
  Stadium with Java Chamberlain and and Connor will get a chance
• 2:06:49
  to meet Java champion. And that would be great.
• 2:06:50
  That's, that's awesome. When you get to meet your hero
• 2:06:53
  and a person that you looked up to when you were kid, I met my
• 2:06:56
  hero growing up. John Van beest work.
• 2:06:58
  Was my hero and funny stuff quick.
• 2:07:00
  Funny story for everybody to understand.
• 2:07:01
  I had I did a hockey show and Ashley started.
• 2:07:04
  It was my birthday and I was doing a hockey show, Speedy,
• 2:07:06
  remember this? Yeah, I wasn't there, but I
• 2:07:08
  listened to it later. Yeah.
• 2:07:09
  And I was, I was sitting there and Ashley said, I have a
• 2:07:12
  special guest at wanted to call the show and come on for an
• 2:07:16
  interview. And I, he gave me some like, Tim
• 2:07:18
  hardware and I say, who the hell is Tim Hardway, and he called
• 2:07:22
  the show. And I said, hello, who are you
• 2:07:24
  speaking? Who we speaking with me?
• 2:07:25
  And he says, this is John Van, bees broke and I say what?
• 2:07:29
  And he says, this is, John Van bees Burke.
• 2:07:31
  Hello happy Birthday and I'll never forget, I did my first
• 2:07:34
  interview with a guy that I looked up to since I was a
• 2:07:37
  little boy and I, he called me from my birthday.
• 2:07:40
  He now he runs The United States hockey and the first time I ever
• 2:07:44
  met him, it was at the NHL draft in Dallas.
• 2:07:46
  He knew exactly who I was, when I was walking down working with
• 2:07:50
  the GMS and the coaches over there on the, on the bottom of
• 2:07:54
  the ice before the draft started.
• 2:07:57
  So, I took a picture and he was, he interviewed with me.
• 2:08:00
  He I was the only media guy. He did an interview with for
• 2:08:05
  United States and for the United States hockey at that event.
• 2:08:08
  So it was a pretty cool opportunity and I think I would
• 2:08:11
  love to let you know. Be a part of watching me.
• 2:08:14
  The guy that you looked up to. So definitely would love to do
• 2:08:17
  that. Yeah, that'd be great.
• 2:08:19
  That'd be awesome when they reached out about doing the
• 2:08:22
  podcast and then they just casually named dropped Java.
• 2:08:24
  And I was like, what? I was like they know that they
• 2:08:27
  know I was wearing 62, girl. Well, I I definitely, as far as
• 2:08:34
  I'm concerned, I want to, I want to give you your opportunity to
• 2:08:37
  meet your hero, and, and job is such a great shift person, he
• 2:08:40
  would love to meet you guys. So I would love, I would love to
• 2:08:43
  be a part of that and Adam, you know, I'm a big fan of yours
• 2:08:46
  herself. Yeah, I might have to take a
• 2:08:47
  couple of pictures with you and we'd love to be a part of the
• 2:08:52
  great event that you guys put on.
• 2:08:53
  So, count us in. In April, I definitely would do
• 2:08:57
  that. You got it.
• 2:08:59
  You got it. Thanks guys for having us on.
• 2:09:03
  Hey, coach. Conor Harris and Adam Byron to
• 2:09:07
  Fantastic personalities. Great.
• 2:09:10
  Great guys. And and just happy to have them
• 2:09:13
  on the show and I was I wasn't taking shy.
• 2:09:16
  I would you guys say I was taking shots a job?
• 2:09:18
  I don't think I was your normally do as a competitive.
• 2:09:21
  Yeah, well, he's always competitive with me.
• 2:09:24
  And you know, what's crazy about Joba is, is that he will not do
• 2:09:30
  that in front of a crowd. He will not do that.
• 2:09:32
  I don't believe. If I stole a base against him in
• 2:09:36
  front of the fans, he will absolutely want to rip my head
• 2:09:40
  off. I'm telling you right now that
• 2:09:42
  would, that would be so embarrassing for him.
• 2:09:44
  Right in front of 40 or 30,000 people, me still a basic against
• 2:09:48
  Java Channel and Yankee Stadium. I mean.
• 2:09:57
  I don't know if the bananas are going to accommodate this, this,
• 2:10:00
  no, I would say this. I I think that to get those
• 2:10:06
  conditions where I mean, you seem to be hoping for like not
• 2:10:11
  holding pitch in the dirt. I'm not hoping that he darts
• 2:10:14
  won. And you can get that base.
• 2:10:16
  If somebody get a man on a fastball, what if he needs to
• 2:10:20
  breaking ball? If somebody if somebody is up at
• 2:10:24
  the plate and swinging at the balls, he's gonna have to pitch
• 2:10:26
  around him. He does not gonna want the guy
• 2:10:28
  to hit against him. I mean, if somebody's hitting
• 2:10:30
  against all, yeah, but like why would he care?
• 2:10:32
  Unless there were Stakes on the bat like he's gonna throw up and
• 2:10:36
  away fast. Well, if you're, if you're, if
• 2:10:39
  you're gonna get a chance to swing against Java, Chamberlain,
• 2:10:41
  hit against job a Chamberlain. I, I think that's, that's enough
• 2:10:44
  Stakes to me. And, unless job a bet, unless
• 2:10:48
  job is paying off, the hitter is not the swing at it.
• 2:10:50
  I don't know what job is playing is but to me, it should be fair,
• 2:10:55
  both ways. If I'm trying to steal against a
• 2:10:58
  professional baseball player, there has to be a professional
• 2:11:00
  catcher and a professional hitter at the plate ready and
• 2:11:04
  willing to swing. So if if that's the case, I'm
• 2:11:07
  in, if that's not the case, then I'm not in, its not fair to me.
• 2:11:10
  So why, why is it work one way and not worked together.
• 2:11:14
  That wouldn't be fair to me. What is just very hard to get
• 2:11:16
  those conditions to? Actually I don't think it's hard
• 2:11:19
  at all. Get a real guy that's gonna go
• 2:11:21
  into the box and get a real catcher.
• 2:11:23
  And and Java pitch in me steel. What what's, what conditions if
• 2:11:28
  any job of words to give up is stolen base?
• 2:11:31
  He may cry about it, but in this game Arrow.
• 2:11:34
  Yeah, you're not allowed to my pinky is bigger than yours.
• 2:11:38
  All right. Save you tears, mom.
• 2:11:40
  What one thing that you can't talk on my window, my sexual
• 2:11:44
  fantasy. It's not ideal but if it's what
• 2:11:49
  music is not ideal, but if it's not ideal, but if it is what
• 2:11:53
  mean you It is indeed.
• 2:12:08
  Once again, time for savior tears, everyone's favorite tier
• 2:12:13
  bass Fantasy game. This is based on the NFL Week.
• 2:12:17
  14 stats. We have a season.
• 2:12:20
  Long standing Speedy. Did you make a standing yet?
• 2:12:23
  This robot. Yes.
• 2:12:24
  I do have a standpoint. I don't don't lie to me.
• 2:12:27
  I do because I made a standing because I know you are to mine.
• 2:12:37
  That is the lead for a whole nother debate.
• 2:12:39
  But we'll go over that. A little later.
• 2:12:41
  Let's reveal touches one this Week snap, guys.
• 2:12:46
  Here's the the bar right here as hell.
• 2:12:49
  Yeah, Josh back week. He took Daniel Jones not good
• 2:12:53
  news. I love Lisa.
• 2:12:54
  Ann. Who else had not great games
• 2:12:57
  Jonathan Taylor not so much. I took Daniel Jones so I screwed
• 2:13:01
  myself. So yeah, Roman doomsday didn't
• 2:13:04
  play no one took him anyway. So there were a couple of real
• 2:13:10
  Bagels out there. Let's see who won, Carl plays
• 2:13:13
  with himself. And now we want was the winner
• 2:13:19
  this week. With the big Nick Mania in
• 2:13:25
  third. I came in last because of the
• 2:13:27
  old, Daniel Jones. Yeah, Arrow.
• 2:13:30
  Not such great moves here with the Daniel Jones kind of solid
• 2:13:35
  across the board but the quarterback position.
• 2:13:37
  Killed you, Josh Allen Monster game, 37 point, blowjobs burrow
• 2:13:42
  though, obviously solid, most people went with him probably
• 2:13:45
  correctly. Pittman Junior had a good game.
• 2:13:48
  Holston Loveland, pretty good for tight end.
• 2:13:50
  Josh Jacobs was the running back.
• 2:13:52
  You wanted in this one as well. Jabba's talk to me.
• 2:13:55
  I told him he won. He said, save those compliments
• 2:13:58
  or next time. So I have the updated standing
• 2:14:02
  speedy. And again, the standings are
• 2:14:05
  real simple. If you get gold, you get five
• 2:14:07
  points. If you get silver, you get three
• 2:14:08
  points. And if you get bronze, you get
• 2:14:10
  one point Lulu. 14 weeks of the NFL season and savior tears.
• 2:14:16
  In first place with 31 points is Speedy.
• 2:14:19
  Peedy In second place with 25 points, is the NIT. in third
• 2:14:26
  place with an even with 10, Deuces, Tommy Scoops at 20
• 2:14:32
  points, At in fourth Arrow marks.
• 2:14:37
  Java. Chamberlain, moves ahead of me
• 2:14:39
  gets to fit in 12ths. I met with 10.
• 2:14:44
  Jared has nine Jared by the way. Is sick with the flu one?
• 2:14:48
  Who did he got a point one time that he played?
• 2:14:52
  I think he was the standings. I got four more weeks.
• 2:14:59
  To see if anyone can catch up to speed.
• 2:15:02
  Another tow job, got some work to do. all right, ladies and
• 2:15:07
  gentlemen, we have a segment and we call this what beef, but the
• 2:15:12
  Bible You know what beef is? Do you know which one of your
• 2:15:25
  face a fight about to get off? You?
• 2:15:27
  Are I find someone to stand on one foot a freshwater eyesight.
• 2:15:32
  This was pretty scared. Watch your mouth, I see you one
• 2:15:39
  more time. All right.
• 2:15:43
  Ladies and gentlemen there's been a lot of beef going on in
• 2:15:47
  the media World. Max Kellerman?
• 2:15:49
  Yes, Max Kellerman is making his rounds and he made his rounds
• 2:15:53
  last week, talking about the The back and forth.
• 2:15:58
  Banter on. Why it didn't work with Stephen
• 2:16:02
  A Smith. And First Take Five Years with
• 2:16:04
  Stephen. A Smith came to an end and Max
• 2:16:07
  Kellerman said this. So Steve.
• 2:16:11
  Nah, you're in a relationship with where you're doing a show
• 2:16:13
  together. For how many years, four, five,
• 2:16:16
  five years. I didn't love how he handled the
• 2:16:19
  aftermath you leaving. Where is basically like I told
• 2:16:22
  you, the show would be better. I just thought because I think
• 2:16:23
  you're really talented that you and I have known each other for
• 2:16:26
  a while, whether it, meshed, as a show perfectly, I don't know
• 2:16:29
  the answer to that, but I just didn't think that was the right
• 2:16:32
  way to handle it. If you're doing a debate show
• 2:16:34
  and you're a competitive person. Yeah.
• 2:16:36
  Why would you want me as a partner?
• 2:16:37
  That's bad. You want to go 15 rounds every
• 2:16:40
  day with Muhammad Kellerman? That's just bad.
• 2:16:42
  You know? It's embarrassing.
• 2:16:44
  You know, I have an idea. This is what I want to put on
• 2:16:46
  TV. I want to spar Bud.
• 2:16:47
  Crawford every day for 15 rounds and I want everyone to see it.
• 2:16:54
  Eventually you're gonna say I don't want to do that anymore.
• 2:16:56
  That's what I could tell you from my point of view.
• 2:16:59
  Yeah. And I also think that if you
• 2:17:01
  make a calculation that if you can be perceived as a solo act,
• 2:17:05
  really that you can get paid at a certain level that you can't,
• 2:17:09
  if you're not solo act, then you'd like to be a solo act, or
• 2:17:12
  at least perceived that way. I for Max Kellerman.
• 2:17:16
  I look up to Max Kellerman. I'm a box.
• 2:17:18
  Fan I follow him. I've been following him since
• 2:17:20
  HBO. The guys boxing knowledge is
• 2:17:23
  impeccable. I don't think there's anybody in
• 2:17:25
  the game that knows. Boxing more than Max Kellerman.
• 2:17:28
  I love everything about him his personality.
• 2:17:31
  What he brings to the to the station, everything that he did
• 2:17:35
  for ESPN. At First Take, I love the fact
• 2:17:38
  that they matched him up with Stephen, A Smith, a younger,
• 2:17:41
  Stephen A Smith. If you really look at it, One
• 2:17:44
  Max Kellerman is one of the more intelligent people in the
• 2:17:47
  industry. The guy has a unique structure
• 2:17:51
  of personality and the way he brings out the product and his
• 2:17:54
  product to the world and a lot of different guys have said, a
• 2:17:59
  lot of different things about Max Kellerman, maybe.
• 2:18:00
  Sometimes, he speaks too much. Maybe he uses too many big
• 2:18:04
  words. What I love about Max Kellerman,
• 2:18:06
  is, he's honest, he tells you straightforward, he doesn't beat
• 2:18:09
  around the bush, he gives you his take and he lets, you know,
• 2:18:14
  that that's his, that's his way to attack it.
• 2:18:16
  And what Said about Stephen. A Smith, is in a lie now,
• 2:18:20
  Muhammad Kellerman. He's trying to compare himself
• 2:18:24
  to. I don't know, Muhammad Ali, I
• 2:18:26
  think that's ridiculous. I don't, I again, I'm not I
• 2:18:30
  didn't grow up a Muhammad Ali fan.
• 2:18:31
  I didn't I didn't watch Muhammad Ali fight, I was on my Tyson
• 2:18:35
  fan, I grew up and the heavyweight division that was
• 2:18:37
  the guy watched and I was a Sugar Ray Leonard fan Max
• 2:18:40
  Kellerman is my age. Max Kellerman and me are
• 2:18:43
  practically the same age for him to bring up Ahmad Ali and
• 2:18:46
  compared himself to Muhammad Ali.
• 2:18:48
  When he never really got a chance to really see him fight
• 2:18:50
  him fight, live is ridiculous. If he said James Buster Douglas
• 2:18:55
  first is Mike Tyson, that would have been more interesting when
• 2:18:58
  it came to his Factor it and the way he tried to compare his
• 2:19:02
  himself, she Stephen A Smith. I do agree with Max Kellerman.
• 2:19:07
  Stephen A Smith was going to make more money.
• 2:19:09
  If he was a solo act and I do believe Stephen A Smith had his
• 2:19:13
  thoughts on keeping Max Kellerman in position to be
• 2:19:17
  comparable to himself. I think Stephen A Smith wants
• 2:19:20
  the cameras on him and Max Kellerman was taking a cameras
• 2:19:23
  off of him. And and really, their
• 2:19:26
  personalities are are very alike in very different, you know, in
• 2:19:30
  the same ways I Steven and you're going to hear what
• 2:19:32
  Stephen at say about any. He was making jokes about him
• 2:19:34
  cracking jokes about it, but I think Max Kellerman is
• 2:19:38
  straightforward honest, and I don't think he fears.
• 2:19:42
  What Stephen A Smith was going to say, he to me planned to do
• 2:19:47
  this. He's, he's waited all this time
• 2:19:49
  to speak about first take, any waited for this particular time
• 2:19:54
  to drop this beef. This hammer on Stephen A Smith
• 2:19:59
  for everybody to check out. And Stephen A Smith had this to
• 2:20:03
  say, did I hear correctly? Did we show what he called
• 2:20:06
  himself, Muhammad Kellerman as in Muhammad Ali Ali Oh my god.
• 2:20:16
  Oh I ain't gonna lie y'all. I have my researchers check and
• 2:20:23
  make sure that when they are that was that somebody just made
• 2:20:27
  up. You know, I had to be I had to
• 2:20:28
  double check that. I really, really did.
• 2:20:31
  I couldn't believe it. Okay, if we were talking about
• 2:20:34
  boxing and you absolutely right because I don't know anybody
• 2:20:38
  that knows more boxing. He's extraordinary.
• 2:20:41
  No doubt about that. We're talking about first tape.
• 2:20:46
  And he took it someplace that all I want to say is are you
• 2:20:50
  really sure you want to go see, there's a lot of stuff that goes
• 2:20:54
  on. Behind the scenes.
• 2:20:57
  Are you sure you're want to go there?
• 2:20:59
  Because I'm not unless you take me, all right, now he brought up
• 2:21:03
  boxing, like I brought up boxing.
• 2:21:05
  If somebody came at me and said, well Arrow, you know about this
• 2:21:09
  and you know about that you're you're knowledgeable in all
• 2:21:12
  sports. So I I can't really attack you
• 2:21:14
  on any of these your comments about basketball or baseball or
• 2:21:18
  football hockey because, you know, I I qualify for my
• 2:21:22
  conversations when it comes to sports for him to bring up Max
• 2:21:26
  Kellerman. And when it comes to boxing,
• 2:21:28
  what are, you know? Stephen like seriously, you're a
• 2:21:31
  basketball guy, you were a basketball writer.
• 2:21:33
  What are, you know, you don't football, because you talked
• 2:21:35
  about, I don't know the Dallas Cowboys and you're a giant fan.
• 2:21:39
  What do you know about the Knicks?
• 2:21:41
  You talk about MMA? Like, you know, something about
• 2:21:43
  mixed martial arts. The only reason why you were
• 2:21:45
  going to and you were doing those things when he has been,
• 2:21:47
  is because you have a big contract when he ESPN.
• 2:21:50
  What do you know, what do you know about football?
• 2:21:53
  If I asked you right now, who is the starting off?
• 2:21:56
  What is the starting offensive line?
• 2:21:59
  Unhealthy of the I don't know. La charges.
• 2:22:02
  Could you give me at least four out of the five?
• 2:22:04
  The answer would probably be no. Unless somebody's telling
• 2:22:07
  Stephen A Smith in his ear. I think Max Kellerman would
• 2:22:11
  know. Max Kellerman has a photographic
• 2:22:13
  memory. This guy is a genius.
• 2:22:15
  He remembers rounds a fight, he remembers how many punches were
• 2:22:20
  thrown in. Those rounds in those fights I
• 2:22:23
  think what Max Kellerman said about Stephen.
• 2:22:25
  A Smith is not too much too much off the truth.
• 2:22:30
  Stephen A Smith didn't want. Max Kellerman Dare for one
• 2:22:33
  reason because Max Kellerman was taking the cameras off of him,
• 2:22:38
  That's what it was and it was. And, and for some reason,
• 2:22:41
  Stephen A Smith wanted to make sure that he was Center Stage
• 2:22:44
  that he was getting the money that he was going to make the
• 2:22:48
  majority of the money. And if Max Kellerman, and that
• 2:22:51
  contract was waived after five years, he would take, he would
• 2:22:54
  get the boatload of the money, the back in the money, and
• 2:22:57
  Stephen A Smith would have control then.
• 2:22:59
  I don't know if anybody heard it.
• 2:23:01
  He brought up skip Ellis and he said, well, the reason why we
• 2:23:04
  had the number one show in America was because skip Palace,
• 2:23:07
  all he was doing was filling in for Skip Bayless and that's why
• 2:23:11
  we were the number one show and he wasn't skip Ellis.
• 2:23:13
  No Max Kellerman wasn't skip ballast.
• 2:23:17
  But guess what? Stephen, A you're not.
• 2:23:19
  Skip bail is either and for you to come out and bring up skip,
• 2:23:22
  Bella's skip Ellis left, went to FOX.
• 2:23:24
  NOW hit was his show as complimentary as your show was
• 2:23:29
  over their first. Take no, but Max Kellerman did
• 2:23:33
  what he was supposed to do. He was supposed to go there and
• 2:23:35
  fill for one of the one of the greatest media personalities
• 2:23:39
  we've ever seen on first, take cold pizza.
• 2:23:41
  And really, he was the guy that structured this back and forth
• 2:23:46
  banter for ESPN. Matt.
• 2:23:48
  It wasn't, I'm sorry, it was, it was I'm sorry.
• 2:23:53
  Skip Ellis that was really that transition that changed the
• 2:23:56
  industry for what it was. He brought in Stephen A Smith
• 2:23:59
  and by the way Stephen A Smith wouldn't be Stephen A Smith with
• 2:24:03
  out skip Bells. So Stephen A Smith helped Max
• 2:24:06
  Kellerman Skip Palace helped Stephen A Smith.
• 2:24:10
  What is the difference? And to compare and try to try to
• 2:24:14
  go back and forth on, who knows more?
• 2:24:15
  I, if you would ask me right now who knows more about sports Max
• 2:24:20
  Kellerman or Stephen A Smith. My money is on Max friggin
• 2:24:25
  Kellerman book that if I was sitting right here and I was
• 2:24:28
  judging back and forth, banter. When it comes to professional
• 2:24:32
  sports college, sports, any sports.
• 2:24:34
  I'm taking Max Kellerman over Stephen A Smith and what's so,
• 2:24:38
  and another thing that Max Kellerman said, that I loved is
• 2:24:41
  he didn't want to, he didn't want to have the same answer.
• 2:24:44
  So he always looked at a certain topic offset from what Stephen A
• 2:24:49
  Smith would say. Stephen A Smith was always the
• 2:24:51
  guy that was trying to attack him.
• 2:24:53
  He was always trying to look at it in a different way at a
• 2:24:56
  different way of a fan. So a fan, if a fan had a
• 2:24:59
  different objective or argument to that particular subject that
• 2:25:03
  he would give them that view. And that's why he went offset on
• 2:25:07
  some of the things that he believed.
• 2:25:08
  Even though he didn't believe it to be, he says, media is
• 2:25:11
  becoming entertainment and entertainment has taken to has
• 2:25:15
  been, and has chosen to take it to the next level.
• 2:25:18
  And he says, that's what first take was.
• 2:25:20
  And he says, yeah. I believe that the way First
• 2:25:24
  Take treated him and and treated.
• 2:25:26
  Well, I'm speaking for him, treated me.
• 2:25:30
  I felt like I was tossed to the side and pushed out because
• 2:25:33
  Stephen A Smith didn't want me there.
• 2:25:35
  So it's been beef. It's been banter.
• 2:25:39
  It's been a lot right now and I I think it's to me Stephen A
• 2:25:43
  Smith came out and said that, if Max wants me to come on and show
• 2:25:46
  at any time I would do that. He's a good dude.
• 2:25:48
  He's a kind, you know, personality and I love the dude.
• 2:25:52
  He's he said, but to come out me come at me like that on that
• 2:25:57
  show and and do it the way he did.
• 2:25:59
  It was, you know, in his own words wrong and he left that and
• 2:26:03
  he giggled at it. But this was good media work
• 2:26:05
  for, from both of them, it helped Max Kellerman.
• 2:26:08
  And it helps Stephen A Smith. I think that was it was
• 2:26:11
  perfectly plant. I don't even know, I would
• 2:26:14
  probably put some money on it that Max Kellerman reached out
• 2:26:16
  to Stephen A Smith before he did it.
• 2:26:18
  I I really do believe that both these guys had some kind of
• 2:26:24
  connection behind this media work because it was picked at a
• 2:26:28
  perfect time. Perfect time.
• 2:26:29
  It was like a Wednesday or Thursday in the middle of a week
• 2:26:32
  when nothing was going on. When a story needed to break.
• 2:26:35
  And that was the story that broke.
• 2:26:36
  So, very interesting story, I got to give them both a little
• 2:26:40
  bit of credit. I think they've both changed the
• 2:26:42
  industry made the industry more interesting to watch.
• 2:26:45
  I just I questioned the way First Take tree to Max Kellerman
• 2:26:48
  at the end. So first of all, check out Errol
• 2:26:51
  story about Stephen A Smith as well on the worldwide sports
• 2:26:53
  radio network website as well. And I just want to mention.
• 2:26:56
  I think besides I think him saying Kellerman was saying like
• 2:26:59
  we had a story on a few years ago for the Yankees trade, Aaron
• 2:27:02
  judge or something like that. I think besides that I can't
• 2:27:04
  remember anything like that egregiously said compared to
• 2:27:06
  like all these other Hot Heads, we passionate right all the
• 2:27:09
  time. And yep.
• 2:27:10
  I had to block Skip Bayless on Twitter because of what he said
• 2:27:13
  about tomorrow Hamlet and it was a and Stephen takes of his own
• 2:27:17
  and like everyone's got But it seems like Kellerman.
• 2:27:19
  Like, there's a reason I guess for that genius.
• 2:27:21
  He is a genius and even Stephen A Smith said, I think he's even
• 2:27:25
  smarter for himself, he's even smarter, he looks past so many
• 2:27:29
  different things. He's so intelligent, he, and
• 2:27:33
  every single fight, or every single statistic that he looks
• 2:27:36
  at to try to compare a game or a certain statistic for an
• 2:27:40
  athlete. He looks more deeper into the
• 2:27:43
  stat. That other people probably
• 2:27:45
  wouldn't look at, you know, as a professional.
• 2:27:48
  So I I just think that Max Kellerman's just an intelligent
• 2:27:52
  man. And I think Stephen A Smith was,
• 2:27:54
  you know, it didn't like him because he was taking the
• 2:27:59
  cameras off of him, taking the spotlight away from him.
• 2:28:03
  And I guess Cam Newton who has worked that worst quarterback
• 2:28:07
  opinions anymore, a whole nother level of stupidity.
• 2:28:10
  So but Hey, listen, it's a great story.
• 2:28:14
  I want I know fish reached out to me and said this is this is a
• 2:28:17
  great Beast story. I thought it was I I questioned
• 2:28:21
  the way it was picked and what time it was picked on how.
• 2:28:24
  And I think it was cleverly picked out for Max Kellerman to
• 2:28:28
  do it at the perfect right time to to put this out there for
• 2:28:33
  media to talk about it. I think it was cleverly parked,
• 2:28:37
  it was that's not the word. It was it was very clever.
• 2:28:41
  For Max Kellerman, to choose the time to put this out here.
• 2:28:44
  It took them over a year to put this out.
• 2:28:46
  Just think about it and then he picks this on the Bill Simmons
• 2:28:50
  show, to put this out here out there like that.
• 2:28:53
  And by the way Bill Simmons and Stephen A Smith are very close
• 2:28:56
  and that and it pissed. Stephen A Smith off that he did
• 2:29:00
  it on the Bill Simmons show, and some of it takes that Bill
• 2:29:03
  Simmons had after the fact, Pissed off Stephen A Smith on
• 2:29:07
  the way. Bill Simmons, brought it to, you
• 2:29:09
  know, brought it to, you know, the fans attention there.
• 2:29:12
  All he said, thanks for the free.
• 2:29:14
  Prst Steven that's that's basically how we put it in show.
• 2:29:18
  Yeah. He's not wrong.
• 2:29:22
  He's certainly not wrong about that.
• 2:29:23
  I thought it was very interesting.
• 2:29:24
  It was very, it was cleverly put out there by Max Kellerman.
• 2:29:29
  I think it was very clever. I I think that Max Kellerman's,
• 2:29:33
  one of the more intelligent I would love to meet Max
• 2:29:35
  Kellerman. I never met Max Kellerman.
• 2:29:37
  I think he's a very clever guy. I think he knows what he's doing
• 2:29:40
  and I think this was perfect for him.
• 2:29:43
  This was better for him, that it was for Steven Ace Smith, I
• 2:29:46
  think Steve and a Smith. Knew that this was something
• 2:29:49
  that could drive and he just drove it even further.
• 2:29:51
  I think it was a great move by both guys.
• 2:29:53
  And this is why there, they're very rich in their business.
• 2:29:57
  And and why they've gotten as far as they have gone so far in
• 2:30:01
  the industry and such a fast way.
• 2:30:02
  So, that's just my opinion. All right, Speedy, status of the
• 2:30:06
  week. Well, you may run like me but
• 2:30:12
  you hit like the way. Now, there are article to check
• 2:30:17
  out of arrows that he just wrote as well as on the Kansas City
• 2:30:20
  Chiefs and their downfall and you go check that out on the
• 2:30:23
  world wide sports radio, I put it together today.
• 2:30:25
  It took me about an hour and a half to put it together.
• 2:30:28
  It's very funny. Yes, check it out.
• 2:30:29
  Worldwide sports radio.com. And the Chiefs are where my stat
• 2:30:33
  ends up going. I was talking about a couple
• 2:30:35
  weeks ago when they played the bills and how high their
• 2:30:37
  pressure rate was and now I'm gonna jump it to Sonic football
• 2:30:40
  against the Texas Patrick Mahomes ends with a negative
• 2:30:44
  point five four EPA per dropback, which is the worst in
• 2:30:48
  his career 42.4. Completion percentage is the
• 2:30:51
  worst in his career and 19.8 passer rating.
• 2:30:55
  That is a very Zach Wilson. Asked the Texans pressured
• 2:30:58
  Patrick home's 18 times for the most this season and held
• 2:31:02
  Mahomes, to just two completion on 12th per 40 yards when he was
• 2:31:07
  pressured. He's always say, you can't Blitz
• 2:31:10
  Patrick for homes. He knows how to counter it and
• 2:31:12
  Texans know what to do it without blitzing, and where did
• 2:31:14
  they make it work? This might be the best.
• 2:31:16
  Defense. I've seen since the Baltimore
• 2:31:18
  Ravens in 2000, that's how good this defense is.
• 2:31:21
  They are fun fast and they're Relentless, they are Relentless
• 2:31:27
  and he was running for dear life.
• 2:31:30
  That their secondary is, they have two of the best safeties in
• 2:31:34
  a league. Stingley is one of the best
• 2:31:36
  corners in the league. I mean, they're so fast off the
• 2:31:38
  world. It's start the whip around then
• 2:31:41
  right there with those Kansas City Chiefs.
• 2:31:51
  All right, let's get it going here.
• 2:31:52
  Since you wanted to go into we might as well just get it going
• 2:31:56
  with that game right off the bat.
• 2:31:59
  In fact, I have it as two teams that basically lost their chance
• 2:32:03
  of making the playoffs this week.
• 2:32:06
  The Chiefs 20 to 10 faults in that Texans team.
• 2:32:09
  The Texans are now 8 in 5 a game behind Jacksonville for the lead
• 2:32:15
  tied with the Colts, the Colts lost.
• 2:32:18
  Daniel Jones will bring it up a little bit.
• 2:32:20
  Obviously, the Chiefs defense just was very good but Andy Reid
• 2:32:27
  made a very curious fourth down decision when the game was tied
• 2:32:33
  to go for it. And instead they fail and they
• 2:32:38
  give up the points, they don't come back from it.
• 2:32:40
  The offense is not the same, The Tackle situation.
• 2:32:44
  Still, a problem Simmons from Ohio.
• 2:32:46
  State is out on the IR. He was the guy that was supposed
• 2:32:50
  to fix it, the reason why? Yes, it look good in the last
• 2:32:53
  couple of weeks. He's hurt, you know, and they're
• 2:32:57
  not. They're not a playoff team
• 2:33:00
  Merrill. It's certainly doesn't look like
• 2:33:01
  in the Cowboys. If we thought we thought that
• 2:33:04
  they were better with all the additions, the Lions smoking
• 2:33:07
  that game was in close. A second.
• 2:33:09
  I I think the Texans like I was saying, I think the Texans are
• 2:33:12
  as good as I've seen it. Since the 2000 Ravens.
• 2:33:16
  They're fast off the ball. They've got two amazing pass
• 2:33:20
  rushers. They can get, they can get up
• 2:33:22
  the middle in the gaps. I've seen it, they, they're
• 2:33:24
  secondary so fast. They have four competent
• 2:33:28
  linebackers that can get at you, many different ways, they can
• 2:33:30
  stop the tight ends, they could do everything.
• 2:33:33
  This is by far, the best defense in football.
• 2:33:35
  Everybody was talking about the Broncos, this year, this is the
• 2:33:38
  fastest, this is the youngest and I'm gonna tell you this
• 2:33:41
  right now. The Texans are is dangerous is
• 2:33:43
  any team right now and not because of their offense because
• 2:33:47
  they're offenses up and down. It's because of these defense
• 2:33:49
  because they could take the ball away at any time of the game
• 2:33:52
  they hit hard. They're mean, and they're fast
• 2:33:55
  off the ball. I I haven't seen a defense this
• 2:33:58
  good. Since those Ravens teams, even
• 2:34:00
  better than the legion of boom. Yes, whenever anybody talks
• 2:34:03
  about those legion of boom, the Seattle Seahawks teams, this
• 2:34:07
  defense is better than that. Fans.
• 2:34:09
  That's how fun? And the Chiefs are done.
• 2:34:11
  I, you could see it in Patrick Mahomes his face, it's over.
• 2:34:14
  Go check out my story. It's a great story.
• 2:34:16
  It's very, very funny. Kelsey looks like his knee is
• 2:34:21
  not the same. I don't, I don't know if Kelsey
• 2:34:23
  comes back next year. Why would he is his wife or his
• 2:34:26
  fiancee is on tour? He's enjoying himself.
• 2:34:29
  He's got a new documentary out, which he's in now.
• 2:34:31
  Why does he need to play football anymore?
• 2:34:33
  He's him and his wife for gonna be making billions.
• 2:34:36
  And as far as the Cowboys concerned, we were over there
• 2:34:38
  with the beef at in We were deal Park.
• 2:34:43
  We were in Deer Park and we were having fun with, you know, Jamie
• 2:34:48
  Lee and the beef and he was it didn't matter when the Cowboys
• 2:34:52
  had a chance to win the game. He was like I got no confidence
• 2:34:55
  whatsoever. Doc did what he can?
• 2:34:58
  I think doc had a sensational game.
• 2:35:00
  It wasn't dad's full on why they lost.
• 2:35:02
  It was the defense, the defense could not stop a lick and you
• 2:35:05
  saw it. And I'm gonna tell you this
• 2:35:07
  right now, the Lions They're good when they want to be and
• 2:35:11
  they're bad when they want to be as well.
• 2:35:13
  I, I don't know what Lions team you're gonna get.
• 2:35:15
  So I this isn't the same lions with with Johnson there and
• 2:35:20
  Aaron Glenn, but this is still a competent Lions, D team and and
• 2:35:24
  if they could get into the playoffs, they're gonna cause
• 2:35:26
  they could cause a lot of problems with Green Bay and all
• 2:35:29
  the other teams that are going to get into the playoffs as
• 2:35:31
  well. I mean, it's so wide open this
• 2:35:33
  year. This might be the most Wide Open
• 2:35:35
  Season and football and NFL football we've ever seen.
• 2:35:39
  Yeah, the lions in offense at its peak is very interesting
• 2:35:42
  because it's hyper efficient. I know on the weekend crunch
• 2:35:46
  when Chaz comes on and does money, he actually presented a
• 2:35:48
  statue like most points per. How many yards you score on a
• 2:35:51
  plane. The lions are leading the league
• 2:35:52
  in a while for it because I've never scoring touchdowns and
• 2:35:55
  fast drives pretty much and then it started to disappear.
• 2:35:58
  They fizzled out against the Eagles a couple other Bad Games,
• 2:36:00
  is a bad gaming at the Packers on Thanksgiving and now they
• 2:36:03
  found their offensive Groove again, Dallas.
• 2:36:04
  Yeah, they're battling tough. But again, they just don't have
• 2:36:06
  the talent to live out and on the defensive side of the ball,
• 2:36:09
  they're still. On Houston, you're right, he's
• 2:36:11
  very interesting because them in the Broncos, both of these Elite
• 2:36:13
  defenses with a lot of questions on offense that the Texans
• 2:36:16
  offense I think is worse with their offensive line and Run
• 2:36:17
  game compared to the Broncos but they're both pretty average.
• 2:36:20
  So it'll be an interesting battle.
• 2:36:21
  Yeah but I think the Texans have two two game-changing offensive
• 2:36:26
  players. I don't I don't think the
• 2:36:28
  Broncos do so no no the Broncos probably don't have one
• 2:36:31
  individual game changing offensive player.
• 2:36:32
  I would say the best units are offensive line and it's just
• 2:36:35
  been top five in the league all year Houston.
• 2:36:36
  They're offensive line and fish. You were talking about what's
• 2:36:38
  really bad at the beginning of the year now.
• 2:36:39
  It's kind of gotten a little better with some of the young
• 2:36:41
  players that they have, but this defense definitely Championship
• 2:36:43
  caliber, are we discussed in the car and the before the show it's
• 2:36:47
  probably like the bills, the Broncos, the Jacksons on the top
• 2:36:49
  three in what order it the Texans are maybe creeping closer
• 2:36:53
  to them than we think and the Chiefs yeah even if they do win
• 2:36:55
  out like that now and I'm telling you right now this is
• 2:36:59
  the best defense I've seen since the 2000 Ravens that's how good
• 2:37:02
  it is. Yeah the Chiefs even if they win
• 2:37:04
  out, I think the Jaguars now having they're not gonna lose
• 2:37:07
  out like there's so many scenarios have to go right for
• 2:37:09
  the Mall. Now I didn't think it would
• 2:37:10
  happen this way but you know, Ryan's don't ever look scared,
• 2:37:13
  no matter what the game transitions into because he
• 2:37:16
  knows this defense is going to stop everybody.
• 2:37:18
  He knows it, he sees it Brian's so wasn't for grey bull.
• 2:37:23
  And maybe Ben Johnson, he'd be getting a lot more attention for
• 2:37:26
  coach of the year. Because what he's doing over
• 2:37:29
  there after how they started, they how he basically coached up
• 2:37:33
  at a team, it's just great coaching.
• 2:37:35
  That's what I see like when teams get better throughout the
• 2:37:38
  year and they haven't had a talent.
• 2:37:40
  That's because the talent has been coached up to become
• 2:37:43
  better, players at least better players in the coaches system,
• 2:37:46
  so that they're playing well together, so that they can
• 2:37:48
  execute as a unit and some teams you can get a bunch of talent
• 2:37:53
  and they don't execute look at this team that even that
• 2:37:56
  offensive line has a bunch of guys.
• 2:37:58
  You don't even you never heard of their names.
• 2:38:00
  They're killing it. That team is really good,
• 2:38:02
  because they're really well coached Brian's.
• 2:38:05
  Might be a top five coaches in this league.
• 2:38:07
  When we didn't even realize until like, let's get into the
• 2:38:11
  game that I thought was the top game that we can speak in a Benz
• 2:38:14
  Johnson. He didn't win this one, but it
• 2:38:16
  was a really good game throughout.
• 2:38:18
  If you got a chance to watch the Packers beat the Bears on
• 2:38:21
  Sunday, 2018 to 20 one and this one Jordan love. 17 to 25, 234
• 2:38:30
  three, touchdowns and a pick. He did not have any other
• 2:38:34
  fumbles Christian Watson, four catches 89 yards two touchdowns.
• 2:38:38
  He's continues to look like a number one receiver since
• 2:38:41
  returning from the injury. Jaden Reid made his return as
• 2:38:45
  well. In this game, got a little got
• 2:38:47
  his feet wet. Josh Jacobs another solid game.
• 2:38:49
  Averaging over 4.2 yards. A carry like he does is entire
• 2:38:54
  career. Okay, Williams was good on good
• 2:38:56
  for the Bears. Two touchdowns 1006 yards, 1935
• 2:38:59
  running game was okay. Just wasn't enough to beat this
• 2:39:03
  Green Day Gauntlet and look, Jordan love makes me some throws
• 2:39:07
  that you're just like Nobody's really supposed to be able to
• 2:39:11
  throw the ball and completely. Flat-footed looking one way and
• 2:39:15
  throwing up their right and they just look in the other way.
• 2:39:17
  It's he makes some really silly throws and you're just like,
• 2:39:20
  what is he doing? And then you realize this guy's
• 2:39:22
  so good at football. He makes up ways to throw the
• 2:39:25
  ball throwing I will say this, Caleb Williams looks really good
• 2:39:30
  too. His Escape ability all game
• 2:39:33
  long, making plays on the run? I like I said reminds me a lot
• 2:39:38
  like Aaron Rodgers. This kid is going to have many
• 2:39:41
  many years of really development and growing into that position.
• 2:39:45
  And when he does with Ben Johnson, I think this guy is
• 2:39:47
  going to be a lead. I think in two years, he's going
• 2:39:49
  to be the best quarterback in Elite.
• 2:39:50
  That's the type of player that he has, Jordan love is
• 2:39:52
  Sensational. They've got weapons.
• 2:39:54
  I think the main thought is Jaden Reed's, return.
• 2:39:57
  I think he's gonna change the offense.
• 2:39:59
  Everybody keeps talking about Christian Watson but they've
• 2:40:02
  been craving Jayden Reed. And now that Jayden Reed is
• 2:40:05
  back. He's one of the better.
• 2:40:06
  Well, underrated slot wide receivers in a league.
• 2:40:09
  He's gonna open up the field for guys like Jacobs four guys like
• 2:40:12
  Watson. This offense is going to be
• 2:40:14
  completely different. Now that Jayden.
• 2:40:17
  Reed is back. The defense has been back and
• 2:40:19
  forth. I don't know if Green Bay's
• 2:40:21
  defense was at its top level. As a matter of fact, they looked
• 2:40:24
  very tired in the fourth quarter, I thought The Bears
• 2:40:28
  really got tired of running game.
• 2:40:30
  I think the Bears are as dangerous as any team going into
• 2:40:33
  the playoffs this year. They can run the ball, they can
• 2:40:35
  throw the ball. I still think they're trying to
• 2:40:38
  figure out who their what their identity is.
• 2:40:40
  I if these guys the first of all, these guys are meeting each
• 2:40:43
  other in two weeks again and then they're probably gonna meet
• 2:40:46
  in the playoffs again. So, they might be three times
• 2:40:49
  this year. So we're gonna see a lot of
• 2:40:52
  great football, Caleb Williams, Jordan love.
• 2:40:54
  And this is gonna be here for a very, very long time.
• 2:40:57
  I it's just, it's grateful. I, there's nothing more to say
• 2:41:00
  about it, just two great teams. Yeah, bears were kind of
• 2:41:04
  short-handed as it was. I like you're saying fish.
• 2:41:05
  No dude. And say, DJ Morris has been bad
• 2:41:08
  much of the year and he was limited in that game against a.
• 2:41:10
  If he Packer secondary, but they're offensive line still
• 2:41:13
  trying to deal with. A lot of the injuries.
• 2:41:15
  They had a tough time with the edge rushing and that game.
• 2:41:17
  It's interesting because you were talking about Jordan, love
• 2:41:19
  fish, and I think the bear secondary now, getting their
• 2:41:21
  guys back with Jalen Johnson and Kyler Gordon did hold their own
• 2:41:24
  for it. They made those were catches
• 2:41:25
  very tough, but Jordan love the way he Able to extend plays is
• 2:41:29
  looked like what you saw in his rookie year at the end of the
• 2:41:31
  season when he played like probably the third best
• 2:41:32
  quarterback in the NFL and Jacobs, just did well enough
• 2:41:35
  against a run defense and still been kind of iffy this year with
• 2:41:37
  the Bears. All right, let's move on to the
• 2:41:39
  next big game and this one I just couldn't take my eyes off
• 2:41:43
  of it. It did not disappoint the bills,
• 2:41:46
  outlasted the Bengals. 39 to 34 again in a different world, Joe
• 2:41:52
  Burrows, not hurt in this game, actually matters in the AFC
• 2:41:55
  standings. It doesn't because the Bangles
• 2:41:57
  are such a dumpster fire, so good, they decided to fight with
• 2:42:01
  Trey Hendrickson just for him to play basically have to season
• 2:42:03
  for 30 million dollars for them and I think there are other kids
• 2:42:07
  didn't do anything. The first round pick.
• 2:42:09
  It's it's embarrassing that they have no defense especially when
• 2:42:15
  they're offensive. So electric some of the stats in
• 2:42:18
  this game are just just eye-popping burrow hasn't looked
• 2:42:21
  like he missed a beat 25 to 36 284 for TDS was picked off twice
• 2:42:26
  on. To back plays.
• 2:42:29
  The first one was a pick six by the defensive ends and the next
• 2:42:33
  one was deflected by the other defensive ends and picked off by
• 2:42:37
  a linebacker. That was the difference in the
• 2:42:39
  game. The Bengals had the lead most of
• 2:42:41
  the way in this game. Josh Allen though just will not
• 2:42:44
  be denied 222. Sorry 22 of 28 or 251 three
• 2:42:50
  touchdowns. He had a 43 yard touchdown run
• 2:42:53
  to win at 9. Carry 78 yards in that score.
• 2:42:56
  James Cook almost blew it with a fumble and going into the end
• 2:43:01
  zone. That was a big.
• 2:43:02
  Early turnover tee, Higgins, happy to have Mr. Burrell back
• 2:43:07
  six catches 92 yards. Two touchdowns.
• 2:43:08
  Dalton Kincaid comes back for the bills makes a difference
• 2:43:13
  offensively he scores as well. I this was Josh Allen's game,
• 2:43:18
  this was the game that really gives you the reasons.
• 2:43:21
  Why Josh Allen can make a run first Super Bowl this year for
• 2:43:24
  the all the ups and downs for Buffalo all season.
• 2:43:28
  Long, and the turmoil with the injuries and and all of that,
• 2:43:31
  this team still has a chance. I mean, Lamar Jackson might not
• 2:43:35
  be going to the playoffs Patrick Mahomes your Joe burrow.
• 2:43:39
  These are three of the top five player quarterbacks in all of
• 2:43:42
  the NFL and all three of these guys aren't going to make it
• 2:43:45
  into the playoffs and they're all in the AFC this bulge.
• 2:43:49
  Well for Josh Allen who could be the best quarterback going into
• 2:43:52
  the year's playoff in the AFC, I just think that's what really
• 2:43:57
  was the transition. It was what Josh Allen did in
• 2:44:00
  the fourth quarter, he needed to make the plays, he made it, the
• 2:44:02
  defense made some plays and he opened field.
• 2:44:04
  Joe burrow meet some mistakes. I it was snowing, it was cold.
• 2:44:08
  The ball was bouncing because it was cold outside and in and
• 2:44:13
  again, it all fell into the Buffalo Bills hands.
• 2:44:17
  And and the fans, I think the fans had a lot to do the loud
• 2:44:21
  fan. The, you know, the credible fans
• 2:44:24
  that they always are and and again, it's Josh Allen's house.
• 2:44:27
  And you heard it after the game, where Josh Allen said about the
• 2:44:30
  fans. If it's not, our fans are the
• 2:44:33
  best in the world. It's the best.
• 2:44:34
  It's the best playing in front of all these fans really gives
• 2:44:37
  me a reason to want to play and want to win for the the fan
• 2:44:41
  base. So it says a lot of the the
• 2:44:43
  player that he is. Yeah, a couple of key takeaways
• 2:44:45
  too. I think you look at them getting
• 2:44:47
  the tight ends of all the way they did.
• 2:44:48
  Kincaid has been up and down with injury so far this year.
• 2:44:50
  Dawson Knox, really hasn't been great since he signed that
• 2:44:53
  contract. He's been a good blocker but not
• 2:44:55
  the same receiver. They got both of them going.
• 2:44:57
  If the bills are that was not his best game.
• 2:44:59
  Yeah. And if the bills are going to
• 2:45:00
  take that leaf to get to that Super Bowl which is always been
• 2:45:02
  just hold them back just a little bit.
• 2:45:04
  They asked to try to get that more involved because the
• 2:45:06
  receiving kind of up and down throughout the year and then the
• 2:45:09
  Coleman thing they needed to find somebody that was gonna
• 2:45:12
  fill in for the Reps for Coleman because I think Coleman's done.
• 2:45:15
  I don't think you're gonna see a lot of Coleman for the rest of
• 2:45:18
  the year. So now you're seeing knocks and
• 2:45:20
  something that we weren't seeing all season long and a lot of
• 2:45:24
  fantasy people were dropping knocks when some people Are
• 2:45:28
  saying hey maybe Knox, gets 700 or 650 yards.
• 2:45:31
  All season long now at the tail end of the season because a
• 2:45:34
  Coleman you're seeing more knocks and now you saw a knocks
• 2:45:38
  his best game this year under the Buffalo Bills.
• 2:45:41
  So I think that was what really stood out offensively was was
• 2:45:45
  Knox. Shifted in the defensive side of
• 2:45:47
  the ball, too. I mean, it might not make
• 2:45:48
  schematically the play of the week fish, but like you're
• 2:45:51
  looking at a corner Blitz, the Christian Benford did to turn
• 2:45:53
  that into an interception. The awareness that he had to do
• 2:45:55
  that and then run it back for a touchdown was very impressive
• 2:45:58
  and then his coverage numbers against jamaar.
• 2:46:00
  Chase were insane, too. That was a big reason this much
• 2:46:02
  of the Bengals scored 34 points. Maybe the Bengals, win that game
• 2:46:05
  of jamaar, Chase, even plays like normal 20 years and for a
• 2:46:09
  lot of credit, the bill secondary has been shaking much
• 2:46:10
  of the year, but it's not because I am, you know, I always
• 2:46:12
  love coaches that are like I screw is just bring more guys in
• 2:46:16
  his face so we can't see what he's supposed to do on the play
• 2:46:19
  and just have him. Get rid of it quick.
• 2:46:21
  You never know what can happen. It's like the old like Drive
• 2:46:25
  Arrow. It's like the old like go to the
• 2:46:26
  net. You never know what.
• 2:46:27
  Could happen in. Here, I love that.
• 2:46:30
  So you know, it's it's like kind of like simple.
• 2:46:33
  I feel bad for Joe burrow, I do because we know how special is.
• 2:46:37
  He can't stay healthy and does the Bengals in the offseason
• 2:46:41
  look to move him? I mean, there are stories coming
• 2:46:44
  out that there are teams. I I'm just saying there has been
• 2:46:48
  and these aren't fake stories because they're multiple riders
• 2:46:52
  that have written that, maybe the Bangles look to move him in
• 2:46:55
  the offseason and get some draft stock for him because they're
• 2:46:59
  not winning with him. I've just said if they well
• 2:47:01
  they're not winning because they didn't spend a single dollar.
• 2:47:03
  I'm just saying, that's what I've been reading.
• 2:47:05
  Let's go through some games a little bit more quickly.
• 2:47:08
  These were both please blowouts the Vikings. 31 commanders.
• 2:47:14
  Nothing Jayden. Daniels gets hurt again.
• 2:47:17
  In this one. Why is he playing terrible?
• 2:47:19
  Why is he don't think? We're gonna see him again.
• 2:47:22
  After this one, they don't have a running back, offensive line,
• 2:47:28
  you know? What?
• 2:47:30
  Speedy, it took Bobby Johnson here but he's sufficiently
• 2:47:33
  destroyed that we knew he could do it.
• 2:47:38
  We knew that he was one of the worst offensive line coaches.
• 2:47:42
  They still remembered how to play from their coach, the
• 2:47:44
  previous year now, that his systems fully in their brains,
• 2:47:47
  they can't block a soul. So, the Giant, when the Giants
• 2:47:51
  face, the fish, you know what out of them It if they beat the
• 2:47:57
  commanders, that's why they're going to not have the first
• 2:47:59
  overall ticket. Could you stop with this first
• 2:48:01
  over? What happened?
• 2:48:02
  You know what, the problem there in their right now.
• 2:48:04
  If it ended today they'd have first pick?
• 2:48:06
  Yeah, well, they all Show everybody Johnson a screw them
• 2:48:08
  out of. Here's the problem and I I you
• 2:48:11
  got you, giant fans need to understand something teams
• 2:48:14
  aren't going to just lose. Just so they get the number one
• 2:48:16
  pick. It doesn't happen.
• 2:48:17
  If that was the case, the judge should lose every single game.
• 2:48:20
  They're not gonna know. I think, I think you're right.
• 2:48:22
  I think the commanders are freaking terrible right now in
• 2:48:25
  the Giant, and the Giants are better than Vegas too.
• 2:48:27
  Don't worry. That better than Vegas too.
• 2:48:29
  They should win both those games, the Giants win both those
• 2:48:32
  games. The Giants theoretically should
• 2:48:35
  have, if they win those two games, in the five games, they
• 2:48:38
  should have won earlier this season.
• 2:48:39
  They should have been a nine win team.
• 2:48:41
  Yeah. They should have been flying for
• 2:48:43
  the playoffs, what a fantasy land, but not a land but not
• 2:48:46
  only well. The other stuff that's a game
• 2:48:51
  was the Seahawks. I mean the Falcons are Kirk
• 2:48:54
  Cousins. He's done.
• 2:48:54
  I think that's pretty clear. Killed them, Sam darnold, 20 and
• 2:49:00
  33 touchdowns two of them, the jsn 7 catches 92 yards, two
• 2:49:05
  touchdowns that like Unstoppable cuphead and touchdown, not even
• 2:49:10
  close. This team is forced to be
• 2:49:12
  reckoned with man. Anything on these two.
• 2:49:14
  Not really. I mean, obviously, Seattle is,
• 2:49:17
  it's a force to be reckoned with and, and again, the commander is
• 2:49:21
  look like a shell of himself. This is the same Commander's
• 2:49:24
  team that went to an NFC title game against Philadelphia last
• 2:49:27
  year. And now, they're not even going
• 2:49:29
  to come close to the playoffs and they could be a top 10 pick.
• 2:49:32
  It's crazy. How everything can change in one
• 2:49:36
  year with the NFL. It's the only sport how one team
• 2:49:39
  could be one of the best teams and fall out so quick the year
• 2:49:43
  after it's unbelievable. Absolutely incredible.
• 2:49:45
  Yeah, it's even more. So in the NFC too like AFC is a
• 2:49:48
  little more parody this year than it usually does, but
• 2:49:50
  usually, it's usually a lot of the same repetitive team.
• 2:49:52
  But the a NFC this year, when you look at the Vikings were 14,
• 2:49:56
  win team. Could you remember honestly, and
• 2:49:58
  I don't, we don't need you to go over and over and over again
• 2:50:00
  with these statistics beating, could you remember a time where
• 2:50:03
  it is so wide open, where you really can't make a prediction
• 2:50:07
  who's going to the Super Bowl and who's winning the Super
• 2:50:10
  Bowl? Come on.
• 2:50:11
  I was probably like the last what I would have thought of was
• 2:50:13
  probably Team. When you look at that was the
• 2:50:15
  Broncos Panthers. Super Bowl.
• 2:50:16
  The Panthers were all banged up that year in the Broncos?
• 2:50:18
  And no offense. I mean if you look at the NFC
• 2:50:20
  right now I mean you know who's good but are you gonna bet on
• 2:50:24
  those guys? Are you gonna bet on the Rams
• 2:50:25
  after losing against Carolina? You're gonna bet on Seattle.
• 2:50:28
  They're a young team, I don't know.
• 2:50:30
  I, I can't bet on any of these teams and in the AFC forget
• 2:50:34
  about it. I'm not betting on any of those
• 2:50:36
  teams. Yeah.
• 2:50:36
  And that's what the turnover too, like Washington.
• 2:50:39
  Maybe they were played over their heads last year, but they
• 2:50:42
  came back down on Earth and Seattle was kind of a lucky to
• 2:50:45
  accept. And if India if Indianapolis is
• 2:50:48
  looking for a quote back, I'd be reaching right now, right now to
• 2:50:52
  Atlanta and trying to get her cousins, because that would make
• 2:50:55
  more sense in the garbage that we're here.
• 2:50:56
  They need him for next year, Penny, same plan next year,
• 2:51:00
  either? Well, I haven't too late because
• 2:51:02
  it's not gonna be there next year, either.
• 2:51:04
  So I think they're gonna keep him there because they have them
• 2:51:07
  on their contract. He is guaranteed money, sweetie.
• 2:51:09
  Yeah. They might be just like stuck,
• 2:51:11
  just predicament why. There's screwed, there's stupid.
• 2:51:15
  But that's all the other story. He takes himself.
• 2:51:17
  Here's some teams that these three games were stupid.
• 2:51:21
  The rent, the Cardinals. I mean, I think Done.
• 2:51:23
  Yeah. That team is a disaster Kyler
• 2:51:26
  Murray's out for the season for sets.
• 2:51:28
  Fine. I guess.
• 2:51:29
  If you want a guy who's gonna put up stats on a team that
• 2:51:32
  doesn't win, the Rams are just awesome.
• 2:51:35
  Some numbers in that game, Blake Forum, helping me win fantasy on
• 2:51:40
  a week. That all my running backs were
• 2:51:41
  on by weeks late, Coram. Listen to this, the Michigan
• 2:51:45
  Champion, 12 carries, 128 yards, two touchdowns Karen Williams,
• 2:51:49
  13 carries, a one more carry, 84 yards, and a touchdown for him,
• 2:51:53
  just killing them on the ground. And if that was in bad enough,
• 2:51:57
  poop in the cooler 7 for 167 and two touchdowns they could do it
• 2:52:02
  all, man, that team is awesome. The other two games, we even
• 2:52:06
  really need to talk about them. Daniel Jones.
• 2:52:09
  Towards Achilles. I saw it happen.
• 2:52:11
  I said it in our group chat as soon as it happened, he just
• 2:52:14
  kind of threw his helmet down, but it was the other foot.
• 2:52:17
  So he had the broken fibula on one foot on one leg and then he
• 2:52:21
  tears the Achilles on the other just can't keep himself healthy.
• 2:52:24
  Unfortunately, that guy he was doing to make a bunch of money
• 2:52:28
  now, he's not gonna make that money sucks for him in the Jets.
• 2:52:31
  Brady Cooks somehow ended up playing.
• 2:52:33
  His tie rods made of plastic apparently and the Dolphins.
• 2:52:38
  Murdered them. Dolphins are one win away from
• 2:52:41
  500. Well, I will say this, Brady
• 2:52:43
  cook will be the starting quarterback moving forward for
• 2:52:46
  the rest of the season. You will not see Justin Fields
• 2:52:49
  he will back him. Off tie rod, Taylor should be
• 2:52:51
  done. I mean, the hamstring four games
• 2:52:54
  left, why drink Tyrod Taylor back.
• 2:52:56
  I don't think we're gonna see tie rod, so I think it's going
• 2:52:59
  to be cooked. I think the Jets are going to
• 2:53:01
  ride with Dad for the rest of the season.
• 2:53:03
  So and a dolphins, You Gotta Give McDaniel a little bit of
• 2:53:06
  credit. Everybody was counting him out
• 2:53:07
  and his team. Oliver surely is moving and and
• 2:53:10
  and might even make the playoffs as crazy as it may may seem.
• 2:53:14
  They still on the, they're on the cusp of possibly making the
• 2:53:17
  playoffs. So it's incredible story.
• 2:53:20
  You lost Tyreek Hill or you traded away pieces at the trade
• 2:53:24
  deadline and you're still in the conversation.
• 2:53:26
  I've always liked McDaniel, I love that little Mighty Mouse
• 2:53:29
  and I love everything about them.
• 2:53:31
  So I root him on every single time.
• 2:53:33
  I think he's a hell of a coach as far as the Rams are
• 2:53:36
  concerned. I expect him to be the favorite
• 2:53:37
  to come out of the NFC watching the Eagles in this game.
• 2:53:40
  Just tell me a lot and Justin Fields.
• 2:53:42
  I mean, Justin Herbert, looks like he's, he's dealing with
• 2:53:45
  enough pain but the Eagles are shell of what they were last
• 2:53:48
  year. I, I'm gonna tell you if the
• 2:53:50
  Eagles lose this game. I know everybody keeps saying
• 2:53:52
  that the, the Cowboys are done. I wouldn't say so the Eagles,
• 2:53:56
  the Eagles have not look good for the last four weeks.
• 2:53:59
  So, I don't know as far as the Jaguars are concerned.
• 2:54:04
  The jackals have played a lot better than I thought they were
• 2:54:07
  going to be this year and they might make the player, they
• 2:54:09
  should make the playoffs. They're gonna make the playoffs
• 2:54:10
  because the AFC is so bad, but I don't think they win the
• 2:54:13
  division. I think the Texans are a better
• 2:54:14
  team. They bought, they beat the
• 2:54:16
  Colts, they lost. They they lost Daniel Jones.
• 2:54:18
  Early in the game, I the Colts put up a fight, but I think the
• 2:54:22
  Colts are done, they don't have a quarterback.
• 2:54:24
  Now, they're gonna depend too much on their running game and
• 2:54:27
  Jonathan Taylor. I think they're done and I the
• 2:54:29
  Jets might get themselves a gem, they might get it.
• 2:54:32
  They went from maybe getting a pick at in the 30s or maybe late
• 2:54:36
  20s to maybe a teen's. Pick a four Source Gardner this
• 2:54:40
  year, I mean, that's pretty good for the New York Jets.
• 2:54:42
  Yeah. He definitely have to believe
• 2:54:44
  that because he's hurt right now too, soft Garner and then he got
• 2:54:46
  Jonathan Taylor getting really worn down.
• 2:54:48
  He hasn't really been the same since his by week outside of the
• 2:54:50
  Atlantic game and the quarterback situation.
• 2:54:53
  Yeah, I would believe that the culture don't agree with you on
• 2:54:55
  the taxes. I trust him to win the division
• 2:54:56
  more than the Jaguars. Miami, right?
• 2:54:58
  My Daniel will stay at this point, just find a confidence GM
• 2:55:02
  because Chris Greer was really running himself out of town.
• 2:55:04
  And the Rams best team in football Cardinals.
• 2:55:06
  They're messed. I'll take Mike McDaniel any day
• 2:55:08
  any day as my wife. That's a corner.
• 2:55:12
  Errol the Colts man, it goes from like the penthouse to the
• 2:55:16
  Outhouse. You realize they're working out
• 2:55:19
  44 year old bill of river. Yeah they should have been on
• 2:55:24
  our show so they don't People you know, maybe it would have
• 2:55:29
  saved this Dabber in the dirt are for him but they don't got
• 2:55:32
  Anthony Richardson apparently isn't ready from whatever
• 2:55:35
  surgery or brain surgery or whatever the hell happened to
• 2:55:39
  that guy. Riley Leonard's out.
• 2:55:42
  Daniel Jones is out. Who are you putting a
• 2:55:45
  quarterback? I mean, I think Tommy cutlets
• 2:55:46
  they paid him to back up over there so you can't just find
• 2:55:50
  cutlets at just anywhere in the. Yeah that's that's why my points
• 2:55:54
  available brother. Is there like an older Mendoza
• 2:55:57
  brother? Uncle we can get over.
• 2:55:58
  Actually man Joseph's brother is a quarterback that's gonna be
• 2:56:02
  taking over the quarterback rains in Indiana after he goes.
• 2:56:05
  Yeah, he came in after the first place.
• 2:56:07
  So Mendoza got lit up on the first play the game and then
• 2:56:10
  they bring in the back up and it's like mini dozen.
• 2:56:13
  Yeah, it's just like a mini looks just like a looks, just
• 2:56:16
  like him. Similar to like two and baby to
• 2:56:19
  us when they were like that, they really are All right, let's
• 2:56:25
  move forwards into this one into two games.
• 2:56:28
  That really don't matter that much.
• 2:56:30
  But I mean, the Bucks were upset by the Saints, which are
• 2:56:33
  fascinating. Tyler schuck played pretty well
• 2:56:36
  in that game. He did look good, he did look
• 2:56:39
  good, you know, at times, you know, like for him, I guess
• 2:56:42
  looks better than chador. Oh, I would disagree with that,
• 2:56:46
  you know, based off of these, that's shut only 13 to 2144 in a
• 2:56:51
  pick, but he ran for two touchdowns and he had a gutsy
• 2:56:54
  507 carries 55 yards. What's going on with the box,
• 2:56:58
  man? It's it's weird.
• 2:57:00
  The bugs defense is shot and they're offense, you know, it's
• 2:57:04
  just not really banging on all cylinders, it took a while, but
• 2:57:08
  a Buca doesn't look good. They're not like back, like like
• 2:57:11
  they're just not either guys, aren't open.
• 2:57:14
  They say Evans might come back on Thursday.
• 2:57:15
  They have a Thursday game. Oh is he started?
• 2:57:18
  I'll be started. Fucking Irving's back but not
• 2:57:22
  looking great. Yet things just a banged-up
• 2:57:24
  team. This year Tampa but the big
• 2:57:26
  story was the Titans get the set their second win of the Season.
• 2:57:30
  Cam Ward still looked terrible at two touchdown passes, 14 of
• 2:57:35
  2817 and a pick up. Tony Pollard had a throwback
• 2:57:40
  game 160 touchdowns on the ground.
• 2:57:43
  It too long runs but shoulder in the laws and they lost because
• 2:57:49
  their coach went. Yeah.
• 2:57:50
  Like the worst two-point play. I've ever seen tuition off the
• 2:57:53
  field for that. She dorm went 23 of 42, not
• 2:57:56
  free, but 3604 Or three touchdowns in a pick and three
• 2:58:02
  carries for 29 yards. In a rushing touchdown, who
• 2:58:05
  cares, pretty darn good numbers. Stop 44 yards, and a touchdown.
• 2:58:08
  For the, for these, he played the tightens, he played the
• 2:58:13
  Titans stop. This garbage is against the
• 2:58:15
  worst team in the league stopped, but apparently, the
• 2:58:18
  Browns might be right up there for the worst team.
• 2:58:20
  Really the only big news as far as positive stuff for the
• 2:58:23
  Browns, I would say, besides the door might not be the worst
• 2:58:26
  quarterback in the league is Myles.
• 2:58:29
  Garrett, got his 20th, sat in the game, and he's closing in on
• 2:58:33
  the NFL. He's gonna break it, there's no
• 2:58:38
  question. He's gonna break it, this four
• 2:58:39
  games left, he's absolutely gonna break.
• 2:58:41
  He probably break it in the next game, as far as Shedeur Sanders
• 2:58:47
  and his numbers aren't so bad. It was against the Titans.
• 2:58:50
  The Titans are not a good team, cam, Ward, I'm I'm interested to
• 2:58:55
  see what the Titans are gonna do in this year's draft.
• 2:58:57
  I know they drafted cam Ward at one do.
• 2:59:00
  They might maybe they might draft if they're sitting there
• 2:59:03
  at three or two, maybe they draft another quarterback and
• 2:59:07
  then they trade cam ward in the offseason if they think somebody
• 2:59:11
  is better than he is. I don't know.
• 2:59:12
  But cam ward has not looked good this year.
• 2:59:15
  He really has it so I don't know.
• 2:59:17
  I'm not gonna say that to quit and Jama.
• 2:59:19
  I don't want him to jump out of his pants because I know it's
• 2:59:21
  his cousin. So but that's pretty funny,
• 2:59:24
  actually. But yeah, as far as the Saints
• 2:59:26
  are concerned, I I don't know what's going on with the box,
• 2:59:29
  but if Mike Evans is coming back, it's good for me and my
• 2:59:32
  family, so I'll take it. Yeah, for me.
• 2:59:35
  My fantasy league is what you just described fishing pooka
• 2:59:37
  only nothing disappearing. Baker, Mayfield, really not
• 2:59:40
  looking like himself since. He's come back from his injury
• 2:59:42
  and they offensive line really hasn't been following their own
• 2:59:45
  either and the running game, which I know you were worried
• 2:59:48
  about a few weeks ago. Arrow actually got it going in
• 2:59:50
  that game, but the classic game really couldn't in the defense
• 2:59:52
  struggling on character. So, this ain't even pesky this
• 2:59:55
  year at certain points against some good teams.
• 2:59:56
  So interesting, Tony Pollard was also on my bench for the Titans
• 2:59:59
  and he got 28 points and yeah, yeah, I think he got 13 All
• 3:00:03
  Seasons. Both those teams will really
• 3:00:04
  right now. Like Myles Garrett.
• 3:00:06
  Yeah, he should break it. I think with 25 sacks at least,
• 3:00:10
  Well, we'll see, we got one more set of games left guys and these
• 3:00:14
  were some good ones. Steelers, outlasted the Ravens.
• 3:00:18
  Controversial poll in that game on a touchdown that was taken
• 3:00:21
  away from the Ravens looked like likely had two feet down in the
• 3:00:25
  end zone with possession of the ball.
• 3:00:27
  On the third step of the fender knocks it.
• 3:00:29
  Out of his hand they say it was not a catch.
• 3:00:32
  Tony Romo was literally explaining why it was a catch on
• 3:00:35
  television as they were saying, it was not a catch.
• 3:00:39
  So and Harbaugh today. John Harbaugh said that there's
• 3:00:45
  it's just clear as mud. What A Catch is in today's NFL,
• 3:00:49
  that's his clothes. And then the Broncos again with
• 3:00:52
  another unimpressive, win against the crap, team 24 to 717
• 3:00:58
  over the Raiders statistically. RJ Harvey seems to be picking up
• 3:01:03
  right where Dobbins left off 75 yards and touchdown on the
• 3:01:08
  ground there but really nothing the right home about bone
• 3:01:12
  Knicks. Just took what they gave him 31
• 3:01:14
  of 38 for only 20012 yards. That's a lot of thinking and
• 3:01:18
  dumping, dude. Yeah, I get here's what I'm
• 3:01:22
  gonna say. The Ravens are done.
• 3:01:24
  I think they're done. The Steelers are gonna win the
• 3:01:27
  division just because I I don't know what's Lamar, Jackson isn't
• 3:01:30
  healthy and that really from one of the great defenses.
• 3:01:34
  We've seen for a very, very long time to being one of the worst
• 3:01:37
  defenses in the league. That you, it makes absolutely no
• 3:01:40
  sense. What happened to the Ravens this
• 3:01:42
  year. And honestly, John Harbaugh
• 3:01:43
  should be on the hot seat. Absolutely should be on the hot
• 3:01:46
  seat right now after the season as far as the Broncos are
• 3:01:49
  concerned with the Raiders. The Broncos have been squeezing
• 3:01:53
  these wins out squeezing and they obviously look better than
• 3:01:58
  a Raiders but The Broncos. If they don't put up, they don't
• 3:02:02
  start to put up points and they depend too much on their
• 3:02:05
  defense. They're gonna have problems in
• 3:02:07
  the playoffs against these Elite teams.
• 3:02:09
  These better AFC teams because I when you're giving the Raiders
• 3:02:13
  an opportunity to stay in a game, it kind of worries you as
• 3:02:16
  a team that's competing for a Super Bowl.
• 3:02:18
  Yeah. You wonder too like sometimes
• 3:02:20
  they were dominating for three quarters and sometimes you see
• 3:02:23
  them and they get too conservative, Sean, Payton, we
• 3:02:25
  saw that at the end of this time with the Saints too.
• 3:02:27
  Sometimes got a little too conservative with Drew Brees.
• 3:02:29
  They can't have that kind of approach in the playoffs.
• 3:02:31
  They looked like they were dominant for a while.
• 3:02:33
  Again, they still might be the second or third best team in the
• 3:02:35
  AFC right now with the bills. I think with the Texans right
• 3:02:37
  now but again they are not gonna get there.
• 3:02:40
  If they don't have above average offense, the Ravens, I fished
• 3:02:43
  it. I mean, you mentioned it.
• 3:02:44
  I do think that should have been a touchdown.
• 3:02:45
  Now, the Steelers might have came back and drove the field
• 3:02:48
  too, but I thought it was a bad call and I just annoying when
• 3:02:51
  the referees inside these games, but these two teams are both
• 3:02:53
  very ugly. Whoever wins the Division could
• 3:02:55
  be the fourth season goes nowhere in the playoffs.
• 3:02:58
  Oh, that's the whip around. This is just happening.
• 3:03:01
  The Eagles, just took the lead on a trick.
• 3:03:03
  Play Pitch to saquon, yippee skippy sake, Juan Barkley,
• 3:03:09
  finally putting up points. What a travesty what has
• 3:03:13
  happened to him this year and if you're a fantasy owner, my God,
• 3:03:17
  everybody in fantasy was drafting him either first,
• 3:03:21
  second, or third, and saquon Barkley's numbers to guys, like
• 3:03:25
  Bijan Robinson and all the other guys that was drafting in front
• 3:03:28
  of him, just absolutely horrible.
• 3:03:30
  I if you're a fantasy owner, you should be very upset at yourself
• 3:03:33
  drafting say that's all. That's just my opinion and I
• 3:03:38
  love steak Juan, I wish him nothing but the best but it's
• 3:03:41
  just horrible to see what's going on with the Philadelphia
• 3:03:43
  Eagles and I'm an Eagles fan. So I don't I don't like the way
• 3:03:47
  the Eagles have used him this year, they're offensive Corners
• 3:03:49
  going to be fired and it shows you how important more was for
• 3:03:52
  that. Run last year, he is a lot
• 3:03:55
  better offensive coordinator and then people thought he was and
• 3:03:58
  You can see the difference of the way they're offenses.
• 3:04:00
  Being run this year and you can see AJ Brown.
• 3:04:02
  Not happy. Say quads happy right now.
• 3:04:04
  So I guess that's a good sign. And anyways, when we come back,
• 3:04:07
  we got call your shot caged in and MMA and dial it up.
• 3:04:11
  But first, another Sportsman, it would fish.
• 3:04:14
  Wait. This is the Java and the mouth
• 3:04:18
  Sportsman is. All right guys, one more Sports
• 3:04:22
  minute for you. This evening, got a couple of
• 3:04:23
  stories left. Before we get into the scores,
• 3:04:25
  the Detroit Lions, who smacked the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday
• 3:04:30
  Night Football week, 14 lost keys to their defense in the
• 3:04:33
  Winn Pro Bowl safety, Brian Branch will miss the rest of the
• 3:04:36
  season. With the torn at least tendon
• 3:04:38
  branches carted off the field with just under four minutes to
• 3:04:40
  play in the game. Trying to break over the past.
• 3:04:42
  In the end zone, the Lions will now have to contend with losing
• 3:04:46
  pffs, eighth ranks safety in the game in 2025, and a consistent
• 3:04:50
  actor in secondary in the highly competitive, NFC North, Dan
• 3:04:54
  Campbell has his work cut out for him.
• 3:04:55
  Once again this season due to injuries at key positions,
• 3:04:58
  Players and in protest of not making the college football.
• 3:05:02
  Playoff Notre Dame is opting to not to compete in a bowl game
• 3:05:06
  this year. As a team, we've decided to
• 3:05:08
  withdraw our name from consideration for a bowl game,
• 3:05:11
  following 25 season, read a statement posts on social media
• 3:05:14
  credits in Notre Dame football team.
• 3:05:16
  We appreciate all the support from our families and friends
• 3:05:19
  and fans and we're hoping to bring the 12th national title
• 3:05:22
  South Bend in 2026. Notre Dame opting out of the
• 3:05:26
  bowl season comes with no penalty for the Fighting Irish,
• 3:05:29
  as they did not belong to a conference for football.
• 3:05:32
  Other programs, such as Iowa, State and Kansas are for going
• 3:05:35
  the bowl game as well. I'd have to Fork over 500,000
• 3:05:38
  dollars to the Big 12 in order to do so Notre, Dame does have a
• 3:05:42
  legitimate gripe as they were never looked at as out of the
• 3:05:46
  playoff picture until the very last day when Miami leapfrogged
• 3:05:48
  them. And Alabama State ahead of them,
• 3:05:50
  despite losing the Edison, the SEC Championship Game to
• 3:05:53
  Georgia. This led Notre Dame, ADP that
• 3:05:56
  was to say the Playoff rankings are a force in total waste of
• 3:06:01
  time. Regardless of Notre, Dame being
• 3:06:04
  screwed over the non-playoff, bowl games are truly a forest
• 3:06:07
  and an exhibition that cost the university more money than it's
• 3:06:10
  worth just to play these meaningless games.
• 3:06:11
  We will probably still watch these games.
• 3:06:13
  But for teams with higher aspirations, it's hard to blame
• 3:06:17
  them for sitting out these relics of an old system.
• 3:06:19
  Especially since all their best players seem to always sit out
• 3:06:22
  to try to preserve their draft stock guys.

  I'm not an ex's and Ohs guy, right?
• 3:08:17
  I'm not a tactician. I'm a motivator in the classic
• 3:08:20
  sense of the word, you know, Lombardi, Charles, Lindbergh,
• 3:08:22
  know, over in India, like those people call your shot.
• 3:08:28
  Breaking news, I'm putting you on a leash now, somebody's
• 3:08:31
  putting somebody on a leash ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:08:33
  All right. Ladies and gentlemen, is how
• 3:08:35
  we're gonna play. It's very simple.
• 3:08:36
  We're gonna give you A specific thing we believe is going to
• 3:08:42
  happen in the next year, or so. And we're going to tell you what
• 3:08:48
  it feels like or what it is and we're gonna give you our take to
• 3:08:52
  it. All right, here we go, fish.
• 3:08:53
  You think one? Look at the NBA standings and
• 3:08:55
  something jumps, right out at you.
• 3:08:57
  That's the Oklahoma City Thunder for 23 and 1.
• 3:09:02
  I mean, I'm gonna just say it right now.
• 3:09:03
  They're gonna break the record for wins in a regular season.
• 3:09:05
  They're Unstoppable. Take a look at their point,
• 3:09:08
  differential. Now, Houston, by the way, if
• 3:09:11
  you're taking bets, Houston's, got a really good record too and
• 3:09:14
  they've got A plus 10.6 Point differential themselves, but
• 3:09:17
  Oklahoma City Plus 16.1, no other team is in double digits,
• 3:09:23
  they're better, they're doubly better than every team in the
• 3:09:27
  Eastern Conference and they're doubly better than every team in
• 3:09:31
  the Western Conference except for Houston and Denver in that
• 3:09:35
  metric and their close to that on Denver's.
• 3:09:37
  Well, they are out of control, good right now.
• 3:09:41
  And I believe Speedy, I think they have the clippers for
• 3:09:46
  unprotected. First round draft, pick this
• 3:09:49
  year. What a great first hot garbage?
• 3:09:51
  Can you imagine they get a high lottery pick?
• 3:09:54
  Yep. To go along with the best Ross,
• 3:09:57
  young roster in the new. This was going to happen.
• 3:10:00
  This is the process. Give me.
• 3:10:02
  Okay? See, breaking records and
• 3:10:05
  possibly a year from now threatening their own record.
• 3:10:09
  This is a dynasty in the in the make guys.
• 3:10:12
  All right. So, I'm gonna shift back to some
• 3:10:15
  college football. I kind of hinted at it earlier,
• 3:10:17
  the way I was thinking of a lot of these playoff teams.
• 3:10:19
  So, I'm gonna call my shot and I'm gonna say, I have no woody.
• 3:10:22
  I'm gonna, I'm gonna call my son and say, Indiana doesn't lose
• 3:10:26
  their first deal. So they go you saw Oregon.
• 3:10:28
  Going to the regular season undefeated and the playoffs
• 3:10:31
  undefeated last year. I think that Oregon team was
• 3:10:32
  better than this Indiana team. And Oregon got smoked by Ohio
• 3:10:36
  State. I like I again, Alabama does not
• 3:10:39
  deserve it, but I do like the talent.
• 3:10:40
  I think Oklahoma will beat Alabama because the game is in
• 3:10:43
  Oklahoma. They won at Alabama during the
• 3:10:46
  regular news smell my ass, but I'm gonna say Oklahoma wins that
• 3:10:50
  game but I think either one of those teams but beat Indiana and
• 3:10:54
  then they will beat Oregon or Texas Tech and they will reach
• 3:10:57
  the national championship game. Beneficial.
• 3:11:03
  He's dissecting it. All right, my final Call your
• 3:11:08
  shot, will go to the Carlo, Avalanche!
• 3:11:12
  Yes, the unbelievable Unstoppable, Colorado.
• 3:11:16
  Avalanche right now. In 29 games is 21 and 2 that
• 3:11:21
  they lost the game recently against the New York Islanders,
• 3:11:23
  they already have 48 points, they're pretty Unstoppable, very
• 3:11:28
  healthy by far, the best team right now.
• 3:11:30
  In hockey, I believe this team is going to be on stoppable, all
• 3:11:35
  season long all the way through into the playoffs and all the
• 3:11:38
  way to the NHL finals. My prediction here is they're
• 3:11:43
  going to the finals this year. I'm not going to say they're
• 3:11:46
  going to win because they're still the Florida Panthers.
• 3:11:49
  Their dangerous. Even though they started off
• 3:11:51
  very slow and Eastern conference is still open with Tampa playing
• 3:11:55
  as well as they are and Washington having another good
• 3:11:59
  season. I think it's going to be wide
• 3:12:00
  open but watch out ladies and gentlemen.
• 3:12:03
  The Colorado Avalanche is coming out of the West that going to
• 3:12:07
  Stanley Cup this year, they're by far the best team.
• 3:12:09
  It's not even close in the Western Conference and fully
• 3:12:12
  healthy. Now every single one of their
• 3:12:14
  play Brock Nelson. It got his new contract and you
• 3:12:17
  offseason. This is one of the best Face-Off
• 3:12:19
  teams. This is one of the best power
• 3:12:20
  play teams. This is one of the most depth
• 3:12:22
  teams in the NHL right now. All four lines, you can't tell
• 3:12:26
  me a team as better for a line than better full lines than the
• 3:12:30
  Colorado Avalanche, right? And they get a goaltending too.
• 3:12:32
  So I, they're Unstoppable right now.
• 3:12:35
  I expect them all the way through into February, to have
• 3:12:39
  no more than 10, losses, that's out.
• 3:12:41
  Good. They are you you were just
• 3:12:43
  speaking about, okay? See, this is the OKC Thunder of
• 3:12:47
  the NHL right now. That's how good they are.
• 3:12:49
  They could break a win record this year, the Colorado
• 3:12:52
  Avalanche. So you say that but then I saw
• 3:12:55
  this crap Ranger's team get a point off of them.
• 3:12:57
  That's fine. I don't know that's that doesn't
• 3:12:59
  matter. I mean a regulation laws it's
• 3:13:01
  not a regulation lawyer. Dude, this team is loaded,
• 3:13:06
  loaded in hell, I know that. I mean, they're crazy, they're
• 3:13:11
  great and they're scoring a lot of goals, do they?
• 3:13:13
  They're already 29 games already have almost 50 points.
• 3:13:16
  Okay, they're gonna have like, they might have more points than
• 3:13:21
  any. NHL team has had in the last 20
• 3:13:24
  years. What's the record for points in
• 3:13:26
  a season? I 132 I was the Brewing.
• 3:13:29
  I was the Bruins that did it a few years ago.
• 3:13:31
  Yeah. I believe it was 132.
• 3:13:32
  I think they're gonna break that this year.
• 3:13:34
  I think they're going to need 60 63 and then a bunch of overtime,
• 3:13:42
  losses are like 65. Be like 66 and over time lost.
• 3:13:46
  What was their record that year? Was that record?
• 3:13:50
  Because I remember their goal and won the goalie of the year
• 3:13:53
  that. Yeah.
• 3:13:53
  All Mark had that unbelievable year and then they blew a 3-1
• 3:13:56
  lead to the to the Panthers. It was 135, they got that.
• 3:13:59
  Okay and what was the record? E5?
• 3:14:01
  It was 6512 and 5. I expect, I expect them to have
• 3:14:05
  something around there, maybe even better.
• 3:14:07
  I I could see them winning about 68 games this year.
• 3:14:10
  All right, that's how good they are really, really good man.
• 3:14:13
  I watched them. I've watched them play three
• 3:14:15
  times this year and I watched them lose against the Islanders
• 3:14:17
  six to three and I couldn't believe the island just scored
• 3:14:20
  six goals against them. That was probably we won't see
• 3:14:23
  that again this year. It was pretty remarkable and
• 3:14:26
  that's why that was after the game Patrick wall Patrick was
• 3:14:29
  old team, the team that fired him.
• 3:14:30
  Yeah, Patrick lost said that was one of the greatest wins he's
• 3:14:33
  ever had in any, was it in net? So think about it.
• 3:14:36
  One of the greatest goalies of all time coming out and saying
• 3:14:38
  that was one of the greatest wins he's ever had the fortune
• 3:14:43
  of the last two of these records because before it was the 2022
• 3:14:47
  Bruins it was the 2 0 t h 132k man they got swept in the first
• 3:14:54
  round by the John Tortorella LED Columbus, Blue Jackets, there
• 3:14:56
  you go. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:14:58
  we've got caged, did MMA? It's time.
• 3:15:10
  This is caged in MMA. I wanted to get into it, because
• 3:15:18
  I I've attacked the UFC. Yeah, it's actually UFC 322.
• 3:15:22
  I didn't like it. I thought it was just really
• 3:15:25
  badly put together but UFC 323, I thought was Sensational, I
• 3:15:31
  thought there was a lot of super stardom.
• 3:15:34
  We saw some good young Fighters coming up and even some mishaps
• 3:15:38
  in and things that happened that you don't want to see in the UFC
• 3:15:41
  and you don't want to want to wish anybody getting hurt in the
• 3:15:45
  middle of a fight where he has a chance to continue moving on and
• 3:15:49
  being the star and being the champion that he's been.
• 3:15:51
  Let's go into it, UFC 323 featured several main event
• 3:15:55
  fights, two ending in decisions and two ending in knockout in
• 3:16:00
  the main event fight John defeated.
• 3:16:03
  Morocco by unanimous. Decision to win the men's bum
• 3:16:06
  Weight Championship getting revenge on Morocco won their
• 3:16:12
  first fight on March 11th in 2023 for the first time.
• 3:16:18
  Time since 2018 ending a 14 fight winning streak, Yan has
• 3:16:23
  now won four fights in a row and has improved his overall record
• 3:16:28
  to 20 and 5 down the card van beat pantos in the first round,
• 3:16:35
  just 22 seconds into the flight. After pantos is arm was broken.
• 3:16:40
  Tiara knocked out Moreno, with a second round, knockout improving
• 3:16:46
  his career record to 18 and 1 Talbot defeated.
• 3:16:50
  So who do though by unanimous decision.
• 3:16:52
  So who do and now announced his retirement after this fight at
• 3:16:56
  38 years old. So who do you know, finished
• 3:16:58
  with his career record, 16 and 6 with 9 Knockouts but hadn't won
• 3:17:05
  a fight since May 9th 2020, when he beat Cruise.
• 3:17:09
  Now I want to go to First Because it's somebody that I
• 3:17:14
  love to watch fight. Henry Soho.
• 3:17:18
  Is one of the more underrated Champions.
• 3:17:21
  The UFC has ever had. And a guy that everybody counted
• 3:17:24
  out and anything, anybody that knows him.
• 3:17:27
  He believes in himself, he comes from a poor, family comes from a
• 3:17:31
  family that has. Nothing always believed that
• 3:17:33
  everywhere he's gone and and all the trees and tribulations he's
• 3:17:38
  broken through was because of hard work and dedication and
• 3:17:42
  believing himself. He's the first UFC fighter to
• 3:17:46
  win an Olympic medal. And yes, an Olympic medal and
• 3:17:51
  when two titles in two different weight classes at the same time,
• 3:17:55
  think about it. And Henry, sootoday.
• 3:18:09
  And he said, take care of this kid.
• 3:18:11
  I love this kid. The kid that beat him and Talbot
• 3:18:14
  and and spoke very highly of the kid.
• 3:18:17
  And, and said that, you know, he thanked before he even went up
• 3:18:20
  there, he was thinking the UFC and thanking, you know,
• 3:18:24
  everything that they've done in helping him and and really
• 3:18:27
  helping him his family grow. As you know, people that really
• 3:18:31
  had nothing and now have something to live for and Henry
• 3:18:35
  Soho is very loved by everybody. I don't think I've ever heard
• 3:18:38
  anybody say that Henry so who was a bad guy.
• 3:18:40
  So I you want to see somebody right off into the sunset as a
• 3:18:45
  winner, Peyton Manning did it all these Champions that we've
• 3:18:48
  seen over the years. There are guys that write off
• 3:18:51
  into the sunset and I would have liked to see sahu to do that.
• 3:18:54
  But he took on a fight a fighter that's up and coming on in a way
• 3:18:58
  in that weight class, A very good weight class with a lot of
• 3:19:01
  talent and it's something that you you want to see.
• 3:19:05
  But my heart, my love goes out to the sahu, family and Henry,
• 3:19:10
  so who I love everything about him, everything that he stands
• 3:19:13
  for free, mixed martial, arts and boxing and wrestling.
• 3:19:16
  This guy is so gracious and such a good person by heart.
• 3:19:20
  And anybody that hates this guy or doesn't like this guy,
• 3:19:23
  doesn't understand what it is to love a person that stands for
• 3:19:28
  his sport and and what the sport really brings to the game.
• 3:19:33
  So my again my my love goes out to the Soho family.
• 3:19:37
  The fight The fight that really stuck out to me, was Jan and
• 3:19:44
  Morocco, and that was the fight. Everybody couldn't wait for.
• 3:19:46
  And I mean, being one of those guys that couldn't wait for this
• 3:19:50
  fight. More Rob wanted to break
• 3:19:51
  records, he's always about breaking records, chains out
• 3:19:54
  here in Long Island, and I got a chance to go to the gym and
• 3:19:58
  watch this guy trained. This guy is a monster, his
• 3:20:01
  stamina, his ability to do the things that he does and do it so
• 3:20:06
  freaking. Well, I've never seen anything
• 3:20:08
  have to Sam have a fight. I've never seen a fighter have
• 3:20:11
  the stamina. This man has He is special, he
• 3:20:14
  really is. And he didn't want to make any
• 3:20:17
  excuses after the fight. But he did come out and say that
• 3:20:20
  he had some kind of sickness and he was dealing with lung, lung
• 3:20:24
  problems, because of the sickness.
• 3:20:25
  And I don't think he was trying to make any excuses after the
• 3:20:29
  fight, but there were people saying that he might have had a
• 3:20:31
  broken jaw. They were saying they were
• 3:20:33
  things going on in the fight that he just didn't look right.
• 3:20:36
  And I would, I would say that I would, but I gotta give a little
• 3:20:40
  bit more credit to yawn. Yawn, was Sensational.
• 3:20:42
  He really was, he was there he was ready to fight.
• 3:20:46
  He was ready to dominate this fight.
• 3:20:48
  He had something to prove after 2023 and losing that fight
• 3:20:52
  against Morocco, where it was very, very close until the 4th
• 3:20:55
  and 5th round. I, I just didn't think this
• 3:20:59
  fight was even close. I think Rob was completely
• 3:21:01
  dominated after the second round and all the way through Yan was
• 3:21:06
  throwing the jab. He bloodied his face pretty
• 3:21:08
  early in the fight really at the end of the first, the First
• 3:21:13
  round, you saw that robs, I was shutting, and it was, it was
• 3:21:16
  getting pink and I, it was just complete domination.
• 3:21:20
  The stand-up fighting of Yin is just remarkable.
• 3:21:23
  This guy is one of the best stand-up Fighters.
• 3:21:25
  The UFC has, and he showed it, he was throwing inside kicks.
• 3:21:29
  He was, he was doing everything, right?
• 3:21:31
  And every time, a Rob was trying to take him down, he was he just
• 3:21:35
  did everything right, he sprawled everything.
• 3:21:39
  Everything you can say, you want to fight her to do against a
• 3:21:42
  great wrestler. John did that, and he completely
• 3:21:46
  did the one thing that would transition and take Rob out of
• 3:21:51
  the fight and that was take him away from taking him down.
• 3:21:54
  I think if I'm not mistaken trying to take him down 29 times
• 3:21:58
  and only took him down twice. Only took him down twice and I
• 3:22:02
  don't think my Robin when it came to the percentage is we've
• 3:22:04
  ever seen Rob with those kind of percentages have so many bad
• 3:22:08
  opportunities or not, have the opportunities to take a fighter
• 3:22:12
  down the way he did. It was, it was really
• 3:22:14
  remarkable. If it was a fighter that could
• 3:22:16
  fight a perfect fight, John did that again tomorrow and anybody
• 3:22:20
  that knows mixed martial arts and understands mixed martial
• 3:22:22
  arts. The way he defended to take down
• 3:22:25
  was just excellent and then It when marab would take him down,
• 3:22:30
  he would get right back up. It's just that, that's something
• 3:22:34
  that you would like to see you, like to see somebody trained and
• 3:22:37
  get ready for a fight and be ready for a fighter that
• 3:22:40
  completely dominated him in the later rounds, in the first fight
• 3:22:43
  in 2023. I will say this about marab
• 3:22:46
  marab likes to take on challenges.
• 3:22:48
  Morav wants his rematch and I could see mariju winning the
• 3:22:52
  rematch. But Rob was trying to prove that
• 3:22:55
  he wanted to be the first fighter to win four matches in
• 3:22:59
  the year and he was on his way. This was his fourth fight and
• 3:23:03
  and all four Fighters, all the fighters that he fought this
• 3:23:06
  past year in 2025, for elite Fighters and he wanted to do it
• 3:23:10
  against John. And I just think he picked the
• 3:23:13
  wrong fight, the wrong matchup against a guy that was hungry
• 3:23:16
  and younger than him. John is like two or three years
• 3:23:19
  younger than morobe is morab is what 3536 Johnson's like 31 32
• 3:23:26
  years old, he's in the prime of his career.
• 3:23:28
  I don't think we've seen the best of young yet.
• 3:23:30
  So that's the incredible story about this that it when Morocco
• 3:23:36
  fights on again is Morocco, get the best of him, maybe Yang
• 3:23:40
  gets, he's in his head now. So we've seen this before, it's,
• 3:23:43
  you know, with five with the fight game, he just don't know
• 3:23:46
  and it's it's, you know, the UFC has been back and forth with
• 3:23:51
  these these cards. So I didn't know what to expect,
• 3:23:54
  but that fight was Sensational. It's going to go up as fight of
• 3:23:57
  the year. And I even know it was really so
• 3:24:03
  lopsided, when you look at the scores it was a lot closer than
• 3:24:06
  you think. And again, I've never seen
• 3:24:09
  Mirage being dominated, especially on the takedowns and
• 3:24:14
  trying to take somebody down and not taking somebody down the
• 3:24:17
  Wayan, really defended it. I've never seen anything like it
• 3:24:20
  so I still think barab is one of the top three Fighters right
• 3:24:23
  now. In UFC, even not being the
• 3:24:25
  champion. Yin is the champion right now,
• 3:24:27
  but I think the UFC has something.
• 3:24:30
  I I think we're gonna see a lot of Yin marabe left.
• 3:24:35
  I could see maybe two or three more fights with these guys.
• 3:24:37
  They they're both great and and and Robert already came out and
• 3:24:42
  said You Haven't Seen the Last of Me.
• 3:24:43
  I I haven't even I haven't even hit my top, my top.
• 3:24:47
  What would be the word? I have not hit my top right my,
• 3:24:51
  my top end yet, so I like to see what Rob is going to do, what he
• 3:24:56
  says he's going to do in the near future.
• 3:24:59
  The the van and patosa fight. Pontos has been a dominant
• 3:25:06
  fighter. I think he's won five
• 3:25:07
  consecutive or six consecutive fights in a row and he's been a
• 3:25:11
  champion and he has been as dominated as a champion in his
• 3:25:14
  weight class. Over the last couple of years is
• 3:25:16
  any fighter in the UFC and to see a guy go down in the 26
• 3:25:20
  seconds, landing on his arm, the way it did and I got to give van
• 3:25:24
  a little bit of credit. He's the youngest champion in
• 3:25:27
  the UFC has ever had, I think he's 22 years old.
• 3:25:29
  To see to watch pantos ago, pantos ago down the way he did
• 3:25:34
  and, and not punch at him when he was pointing to his arm.
• 3:25:38
  Because he realized that it was broken, it was discussing when
• 3:25:43
  you watched the replay of it, it was really, really bad to watch
• 3:25:46
  but to see van actually not drop hammers on him or Hammer fist
• 3:25:51
  him or try to hurt this guy and they stopped the fighting shows
• 3:25:54
  shows a lot on who van is and how great of a young kid.
• 3:25:59
  This this kid is and I, I'm looking forward to the rematch
• 3:26:03
  with van and pantos, but it was a fight that everybody was
• 3:26:06
  looking forward to panto, who's a great ground fighter, can
• 3:26:10
  stand up with you and then is one of the best combination
• 3:26:12
  Fighters, It Go in all of the USC.
• 3:26:14
  So it was definitely hard to watch.
• 3:26:17
  It was discussing to watch when you watched somebody land.
• 3:26:19
  It's like anybody watch Chris Wyman's fight when when is you
• 3:26:24
  know, is Lake went on his leg went on and Anderson Silva when
• 3:26:28
  his Lake went on on Him. So it's it's disgusting.
• 3:26:32
  It's not fun to watch when you watch a mixed martial arts and
• 3:26:34
  you see something give out the way it did.
• 3:26:36
  But congratulations the van and being the youngest UFC champion
• 3:26:41
  the UFC's ever had. And then there was the Moreno
• 3:26:45
  and tiara fight who now Tiara is, is Now, the number one
• 3:26:50
  Contender for Vance Championship, so that could
• 3:26:54
  happen early next year, it could happen in the white house
• 3:26:57
  because that I think that'll be a great fight.
• 3:26:59
  Tiara right now is 18 and one, he bought, he beat a champion
• 3:27:03
  Marino is a two-time champion and that weight class and he
• 3:27:07
  knocked him out in a second round, it just completely
• 3:27:09
  dominated him. And at one point, Moreno had him
• 3:27:12
  in a triangle and it looked like it was really deep and tiara.
• 3:27:17
  Just calmed down. He got himself out early in the
• 3:27:20
  later in the first first round and got out of the round and
• 3:27:24
  then just completely dominated the second round and eventually
• 3:27:27
  knocked out Marina and Moreno. I thought the fights was stopped
• 3:27:32
  a little too early. I think Moreno.
• 3:27:34
  If you know being that Moreno is a fan favorite and a champion, I
• 3:27:38
  think the referee could have give him a little more time to
• 3:27:41
  recuperate. But nevertheless Tiara is one of
• 3:27:45
  the best young fighters in the UFC.
• 3:27:46
  One of the more dominant One of the more dominant Fighters we've
• 3:27:51
  seen in that weight class in a very long time.
• 3:27:52
  So It was a good card, fun to watch, and it definitely the
• 3:27:58
  marab and Jan fight was definitely up for fighting the
• 3:28:02
  year. I don't think you can take away
• 3:28:04
  anything. Anybody that loves mixed,
• 3:28:05
  martial, arts and loves wrestling, and, and stand up,
• 3:28:08
  boxing and kickboxing, and Muay Thai.
• 3:28:11
  This was the fight to watch because you have two, great
• 3:28:14
  Champions, two great Fighters going out.
• 3:28:17
  One another and know each other very, very well only the second
• 3:28:20
  fight and and put on an absolute display of just combat fighting
• 3:28:26
  that you love to watch and and wasn't born, there was nothing
• 3:28:29
  boring about that fight and at the end of the fight, you know
• 3:28:33
  his face was completely demolished and didn't have one.
• 3:28:37
  I don't think he had one bruise on his face but I that's that
• 3:28:41
  didn't take away for how close the fight was in certain aspects
• 3:28:45
  of the fights. So but very well deserved by
• 3:28:48
  Yann. I think, John desert, you know,
• 3:28:50
  wanted this fight, he's been waiting for a chance to Light
• 3:28:54
  morobe again. And now he's on a winning streak
• 3:28:56
  went on a 14 fight, winning streak and now he has a chance
• 3:29:01
  to start it again. He says, we haven't seen the
• 3:29:03
  best of Moravia so and he's 36 years old.
• 3:29:06
  So I'm looking forward. I'm gonna actually be going to
• 3:29:10
  the gym. I'll be going to Nassau County,
• 3:29:13
  I'll be going to see more Rob train coming up in the next
• 3:29:16
  couple of months, and I want to see his workout plan.
• 3:29:20
  His diet is ridiculous, and he doesn't have a dietitian.
• 3:29:23
  He doesn't trust dietitians. Anybody see the type of weight?
• 3:29:27
  This guy drops think about it. He's dropping to 135.
• 3:29:31
  All right, he's walking at 180 and he's dropping almost 40
• 3:29:35
  pounds with no dietitian. It's pretty incredible.
• 3:29:38
  What he's doing right now and I got to give a little bit more
• 3:29:41
  credit than credit is. You know, the people give Rob a
• 3:29:45
  little bit credit for any such a kind soul.
• 3:29:48
  Consul. And so humble, and he apologized
• 3:29:52
  to the fans after the fight and, and all that other stuff, and he
• 3:29:55
  wasn't trying to make excuses, but you could tell there was
• 3:29:58
  something up with him, right in the beginning of the flight, he
• 3:30:00
  was playing with his jaw and it looked like he was breathing
• 3:30:04
  wrong and he's never tired. So there was something going on
• 3:30:06
  with him as far as I'm concerned.
• 3:30:08
  But it was Sensational UFC 323 was definitely something that I
• 3:30:13
  was excited for and I maybe the UFC has something up their
• 3:30:18
  sleeves for the final pay-per-view of the year in
• 3:30:23
  December. So I'm I'm not, I haven't been a
• 3:30:26
  fan of some of their pay-per-views 323. 322 was in
• 3:30:31
  great 321 was, ah, and 320 was good.
• 3:30:34
  So every two main events to pay per views, there's a good paper
• 3:30:40
  view. So this was the best one in
• 3:30:42
  almost two months. So three months.
• 3:30:44
  So it's says a lot of Dana and See what Danny does.
• 3:30:48
  He's getting ready for this White House Extravaganza in?
• 3:30:52
  I think they said it's going to be May or June, where there's
• 3:30:55
  going to be seven or six big time fights with some of the
• 3:30:59
  biggest Fighters. The UFC has to provide and
• 3:31:01
  they're saying Jon Jones is going to come back to fight
• 3:31:04
  Pierre Pierre. So I'm interested to see what's
• 3:31:09
  going to happen with that and maybe somebody else.
• 3:31:11
  Maybe Conor McGregor comes back. Oh, who knows?
• 3:31:14
  I'm I heard the last time I heard Conor McGregor's name
• 3:31:18
  being brought up in the conversation, he wants 100
• 3:31:20
  million dollars and UFC told him to bug off.
• 3:31:22
  So I don't know what's gonna happen with that but if very,
• 3:31:25
  very interesting story. So there you go, ladies and
• 3:31:30
  gentlemen and now we got it up this regular.
• 3:31:34
  We got a big brother. All right guys, welcome to
• 3:31:44
  lightning round Sports. Takes arise and seeing these
• 3:31:53
  stories. He doesn't know it's coming.
• 3:31:54
  He's going to give us a take and then we're gonna react to it
• 3:31:57
  first story up, Jeff Kent elected to the 2026 baseball all
• 3:32:03
  of Fame by the era committee. It's 57 years old was named on
• 3:32:08
  14th Erik committee, two more than he needed for induction.
• 3:32:15
  The interesting thing about Kent is that his famous teammate.
• 3:32:19
  Barry Bonds is, did not get enough votes whatsoever and
• 3:32:23
  neither did Roger Clemens, Gary, Sheffield Dodgers great.
• 3:32:26
  Fernando Valenzuela, they were all named on fewer Donnie,
• 3:32:30
  baseball. Balance that Donnie baseball
• 3:32:34
  apparently along with yeah, Donnie baseball.
• 3:32:37
  Dale Murphy Sheffield a bunch of guys.
• 3:32:40
  They have to wait another five years before their names.
• 3:32:42
  Come up once again to be considered and that's how it
• 3:32:46
  works with that era committee ballot.
• 3:32:48
  It's kind of interesting but again now, Kent's career, start
• 3:32:53
  the Dodger and a giant. You're gonna remember him for
• 3:32:57
  those three teams. Clearly a great player the whole
• 3:33:01
  time good for him but it's kind of daily lives.
• 3:33:06
  He goes in before, Barry Bonds. Arrow.
• 3:33:11
  I love Jeff Kent I've been rooting for Jeff Kant for the
• 3:33:16
  last couple of years. I I've been speaking about him
• 3:33:19
  and Albert Belle. And another guy that should be
• 3:33:21
  in inducted into all the fame. Don Mattingly.
• 3:33:23
  These guys were putting up numbers for a significant amount
• 3:33:26
  of time. Jeff Kent was the best second
• 3:33:28
  baseman in the league for when he was in the league for like
• 3:33:32
  eight years. I mean, power numbers
• 3:33:34
  defensively, he played multiple positions in the infield.
• 3:33:37
  You also I think even played in the Outfield too.
• 3:33:40
  So he did so many things right? Was he was the media's was the
• 3:33:45
  media fans of him know, did he get along with Barry Bonds know?
• 3:33:48
  Didn't get along with some of the teammates know, but he was a
• 3:33:52
  great player and I don't know why the media, and I don't know
• 3:33:55
  why the writers. If they don't like somebody,
• 3:33:57
  they're not gonna abduct them until all the fame.
• 3:33:59
  He, this guy should have been inducted into all the fame.
• 3:34:01
  He was a first battle Hall of Famer, and if he wasn't a first
• 3:34:04
  ballot, he was the second ball of Hall of Famer.
• 3:34:06
  That's how great of a player. He was very well, just deserved,
• 3:34:09
  I wrote a story go. Check it out on the worldwide
• 3:34:12
  sports radio network. I gave my take to it very, very
• 3:34:15
  funny. And I took shots at the
• 3:34:16
  committee, how many old guys, or how many writers do we have to
• 3:34:19
  see when they finally figure out what and who should be in the
• 3:34:23
  Hall of Fame? This is ridiculous.
• 3:34:24
  This guy should have been here, slam dunk, Barry Bonds should be
• 3:34:28
  in the Hall of Fame. I Barry Bond should be in the
• 3:34:30
  Hall of Fame before Jeff. Kent, there's no question sure.
• 3:34:33
  Even even before the steroid era, Barry Bonds was a Hall of
• 3:34:37
  Famer. The fact that the committee is
• 3:34:38
  not an area, hasn't even come close to think that they were
• 3:34:41
  going to induct them into all the same as a catastrophe and
• 3:34:44
  Donnie baseball. I believe in five years will be
• 3:34:47
  inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
• 3:34:50
  Yeah. They're all different
• 3:34:51
  independent cases, too. Like, I don't think it Barry
• 3:34:53
  Bonds directly to Jeff Kent. Barely.
• 3:34:55
  When you look at petition wise like Jeff, can't we consider a
• 3:34:58
  top five, second baseman, and arguably the top three often
• 3:35:00
  best offensive, second baseman, you've ever seen power hitting
• 3:35:03
  wise for a position, that's not a heavy power.
• 3:35:05
  And I remember we've discussed it for many years, too.
• 3:35:07
  And I remember you guys are speaking about the meeting
• 3:35:10
  yesterday and Guess who texted me right after the meeting Josh
• 3:35:12
  silverberg, who's been very passionate about there for a
• 3:35:14
  while too on his show was him and Billy Wagner when he first
• 3:35:16
  did his show like, so adamant that those guys were long
• 3:35:19
  overdue Wagner got in last year, if finally, and Jeff Kent gets
• 3:35:22
  in this year very well deserved for him.
• 3:35:23
  For a guy that's been a force to be reckoned with, on the
• 3:35:26
  offensive side of the, the bat at second, you don't have to
• 3:35:28
  like somebody for him to be in Duck.
• 3:35:30
  Original Hall of Fame. Yeah and we sent for a while
• 3:35:33
  it's like a whole selective. Sometimes I I don't get it.
• 3:35:35
  I really don't get it Jeff. Kent absolutely deserves to be
• 3:35:38
  there his peers and you say top five.
• 3:35:41
  He's a top three second baseman of all time.
• 3:35:44
  If you look at his statistics War, whatever you want to cut,
• 3:35:46
  you gotta tell me a second, baseman, that has better numbers
• 3:35:50
  than this guy. That's all I'm gonna say about
• 3:35:52
  that. I think Roberto Alomar probably
• 3:35:55
  is better numbers than him, but I take him over Roberto almor
• 3:35:59
  any day. It's a Hall of Famer, though.
• 3:36:00
  You know? And I'm saying power wise.
• 3:36:02
  I would, I'm not talking, powerwise talking to that as a
• 3:36:04
  player, but 351 home runs as a second base hosts in the history
• 3:36:09
  of baseball. Jeff Kent, congratulations to
• 3:36:12
  him from baseball. We go to one errol's favorite
• 3:36:15
  players in the world. James Harden, who passed
• 3:36:19
  Carmelo, Anthony for 10, please. All time in scoring.
• 3:36:24
  What a picture history. You like that picture.
• 3:36:27
  I thought you look appreciate that one.
• 3:36:29
  So, again, blessing a testament to the work.
• 3:36:32
  I put in, it's an honor, especially with somebody like
• 3:36:35
  mellow who's done so much greatness for this league.
• 3:36:39
  Next above Harden on the list is Shaquille O'Neal.
• 3:36:43
  Who's nine looks like 290 something points away from
• 3:36:48
  Hardin. Looks like it's something that's
• 3:36:50
  attainable this season looks like Rodney Dangerfield.
• 3:36:53
  Look at him. Yeah, so I'll remember that.
• 3:37:01
  I figured you'd have something to say about your boy James
• 3:37:05
  Harden when we It off. First of all, he's not Allen
• 3:37:09
  Iverson, nor will he ever be on Iverson?
• 3:37:12
  So Eric Coleman, Eat Your Heart Out says I have a story up there
• 3:37:15
  from. I don't know a month and a half
• 3:37:17
  ago and I posted up. Listen James Harden, just one of
• 3:37:21
  the best offensive players of this era.
• 3:37:23
  There's no question him, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, they
• 3:37:25
  all play together and never won together.
• 3:37:27
  It's great when you're putting up the numbers, look at the guys
• 3:37:30
  that are on that list. Look at the guys that are on the
• 3:37:33
  list at this time of year. This time of this decade, none
• 3:37:37
  of those guys Carmelo Anthony. Did he ever win a championship
• 3:37:38
  know who cares? I don't care where you are in
• 3:37:42
  the offensive side of the ball or what kind of offensive
• 3:37:44
  numbers you have, if you're not winning championships, why even
• 3:37:48
  play the game? You're making your money?
• 3:37:49
  That's fine. Your families are taking care of
• 3:37:51
  that's fine. As far as James Harden is
• 3:37:53
  concerned. Scoring doesn't win
• 3:37:55
  championships. As we all know, you have to be a
• 3:37:57
  multi Savvy player to win championships and James Harden
• 3:38:00
  is not Carmelo, is not you name all those guys they're not so
• 3:38:04
  Kevin Durant. Won a championship because he
• 3:38:06
  had to play with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green
• 3:38:09
  to me. Winning championships takes you
• 3:38:13
  have to be a multi Savvy player. And James Harden is never been
• 3:38:17
  that way as a matter of a matter of fact, I think he is the
• 3:38:20
  leader of walking the ball into the basket.
• 3:38:23
  So I I just honestly basketball is completely different.
• 3:38:27
  I might as well not even dribble the ball, half these guys don't
• 3:38:30
  so I don't know. No, I like Speedy said to the 10
• 3:38:33
  step, 10 euros, step travel, he does per game.
• 3:38:36
  And I remember we mentioned it a while ago, when discussing James
• 3:38:39
  Harden as well, matter of fact, but that step back that he's
• 3:38:43
  been doing for forever, now is definitely a travel.
• 3:38:45
  I don't care what anybody says. He takes like about three to
• 3:38:48
  four steps back and shoots the ball.
• 3:38:50
  And somebody mentioned, how it's like his gather step when he's
• 3:38:53
  just I don't want to hear. It it doesn't make any sense in
• 3:38:56
  Arrow. You snatched the words right out
• 3:38:57
  of my mouth. It's cool that.
• 3:38:59
  Yeah, he's on the 10th of all time scoring leaders, you know,
• 3:39:02
  he's pretty up there and what is it?
• 3:39:04
  3 points as well. Yep, but It's not it's not
• 3:39:07
  translating any to anything. I mean there's a guy who's
• 3:39:10
  stronger on his way wanted to play with this team.
• 3:39:12
  Wanted to play for these guys wanted to play with that guy,
• 3:39:14
  and it hasn't translated well at all.
• 3:39:16
  So yeah, he's scoring the points.
• 3:39:17
  He is a very prolific scorer. He's one of the best or one of
• 3:39:20
  the prolific scorers that we've seen in the league within the
• 3:39:23
  last 15 years or so. But one of the biggest crybabies
• 3:39:25
  still that's the main thing. That's that's the number one
• 3:39:28
  thing about it. So I mean even this year, he had
• 3:39:30
  a he said he didn't think it was a good idea to bring in the
• 3:39:34
  Chris Paul tree and you know, it That has this whole legs with
• 3:39:38
  its own situation him and tie Lou didn't get along but I just
• 3:39:41
  feel like him adding his comments.
• 3:39:42
  Nobody gives a crab James. So cool, you're the 10th on the
• 3:39:45
  lead on the list but You're still here.
• 3:39:48
  You would ask me right now. Who would I rather in their
• 3:39:50
  primary career? Chris, Paul or James, I'm taking
• 3:39:53
  Chris Paul any day, so James, eat your heart out and I don't
• 3:39:59
  care if he's in the top 10, it means nothing.
• 3:40:01
  It doesn't transition into anything.
• 3:40:03
  He hasn't won anything, he's won an MVP.
• 3:40:05
  Who cares? Everybody wins an NPP now in the
• 3:40:09
  NBA it doesn't help you. It doesn't do anything for you.
• 3:40:11
  All it does is it makes you more money?
• 3:40:14
  So I guess that means everything to him not championships.
• 3:40:17
  All right, let's move on. We got another sport changing it
• 3:40:21
  up. Let's go to college football.
• 3:40:23
  This is A real weird one. So James Franklin, as you know,
• 3:40:27
  was hired by Virginia Tech to be their head coach.
• 3:40:30
  Well, he replaces former head coach Brent pry.
• 3:40:36
  Who was fired after noon three, start try though is now being
• 3:40:41
  rehired as part as defensive coordinator of the team that
• 3:40:46
  just fired him. Wow, because Franklin has been
• 3:40:50
  with pride seems dating back to his Vanderbilt days, almost 20
• 3:40:54
  years ago. Never seen this before as a kid,
• 3:40:57
  but this is something that like exactly highly unusual.
• 3:41:00
  Move is probably the best way to put it.
• 3:41:04
  I've known Brent for over 30 years, I got a ton of respect
• 3:41:07
  for Brandon his family. I know he poured his heart and
• 3:41:09
  soul into his place. I know this place is better to
• 3:41:12
  say because of Brent and the commitment he made they owe pry
• 3:41:16
  about six million for firing him, but he's back.
• 3:41:19
  I I don't know a similar story. That figured maybe you did or
• 3:41:24
  maybe You could think of something, I don't know, man,
• 3:41:27
  dial it up. I've never heard a story like
• 3:41:30
  this, that a coach gets fired and gets free hired by the coach
• 3:41:33
  that takes over for him and hires them as a defensive
• 3:41:36
  coordinator or an assistant coach.
• 3:41:38
  Never heard a story like this never so it's pretty remarkable.
• 3:41:43
  Does it work? Maybe it does.
• 3:41:45
  Obviously the program loves him and and I'm sure frankly and
• 3:41:49
  reached out to the director and probably went over this, this
• 3:41:53
  situation now it would work out if he were to bring him in as
• 3:41:56
  defensive coordinator, I think it's good for the school.
• 3:41:58
  I think it's good for the program.
• 3:41:59
  All you're doing is bringing frankly and you're bringing in
• 3:42:02
  the same guy that was running the program for the last couple
• 3:42:05
  of years. So I think it makes sense, but
• 3:42:07
  I've never seen anything like this.
• 3:42:09
  Could it work? Yes.
• 3:42:10
  Should it work? Who knows, You know, in that
• 3:42:14
  locker room when they fired this guy after they suck when he
• 3:42:18
  went. Oh and three so many those guys
• 3:42:20
  took shots at them, said awful things trash.
• 3:42:24
  Talked them now he's back. It's gonna be weird and it's
• 3:42:28
  gonna be awkward and I just don't think it's going to work.
• 3:42:32
  I I'm sorry like I just don't know how that works.
• 3:42:35
  I know that it'll work between the two of them.
• 3:42:39
  I'm sure they'll be professional really well because that's a
• 3:42:43
  role that they've, you know, shared together for decades,
• 3:42:45
  plus a different stops. But between pry and his players,
• 3:42:49
  I don't know, man. I don't know how you have faith
• 3:42:52
  in the guy and that's that point.
• 3:42:54
  It's gonna have to take a lot. I just It's it's really
• 3:42:58
  unorthodox. Like you said, I can't think of
• 3:43:00
  any other example. Never not that quickly.
• 3:43:03
  Like sometimes coaches will come back to colleges like if they're
• 3:43:07
  more comfortable, if they can't find a better candidate within
• 3:43:09
  maybe a five year, but have you ever heard a coach get fired and
• 3:43:12
  get real quickly as an assistant coach on the bed now?
• 3:43:16
  That's a bizarre circumstance. Ever heard anything like you
• 3:43:19
  were saying maybe there was a connection with the the
• 3:43:21
  Vanderbilt because James Franklin, when he was early on
• 3:43:24
  at Vanderbilt so he was battling a lot with just related to
• 3:43:27
  rebirth a team that was awful for a while they're baseball
• 3:43:30
  school and they had a couple 10 wins seasons over there.
• 3:43:32
  Those are the last ones that they had until up until this
• 3:43:34
  year. And I just trying to get
• 3:43:36
  familiarity with there. But again, there's enough of a
• 3:43:38
  connection to I guess maybe maybe it wasn't so bad that
• 3:43:41
  maybe it wasn't as awkward where they felt like they could still
• 3:43:43
  bring him back. The athletic director or maybe
• 3:43:45
  this is a good enough connection with both of them to make it
• 3:43:47
  work. I mean Dan Quinn is an assistant
• 3:43:50
  for the Rangers I guess. Yeah I guess that's similar.
• 3:43:55
  I don't know. It's a weird one.
• 3:43:57
  And let's move on to the next story.
• 3:44:00
  But I literally have never seen that before.
• 3:44:02
  No, not within a less than a year span.
• 3:44:06
  This guy we've seen before this situation.
• 3:44:09
  Here he is, the great Jammer. And guess what?
• 3:44:12
  We got? Some trade rumors, not to talk
• 3:44:16
  about the Miami Heat, our circling like, vultures around
• 3:44:22
  the depressed asset, known as John Moran.
• 3:44:26
  There's a lot of people who do not want John Moran's.
• 3:44:30
  Here's the quote from, in the unnamed source of the
• 3:44:33
  combination of pain in this injury prone.
• 3:44:36
  Not that good anymore. And big contract is a bad one.
• 3:44:41
  He wouldn't want Morant on his roster, regardless of salary.
• 3:44:47
  I don't know what his value is, but it appears, Miami is very
• 3:44:51
  fascinated to find this little cheap.
• 3:44:54
  You know, Reclamation project. Here, it appears that that they
• 3:44:59
  have the assets. They don't have a star player.
• 3:45:01
  That is the thing with Miami. Spoor is able to hobble
• 3:45:06
  together. Not a bio.
• 3:45:07
  Is it? Bam?
• 3:45:08
  Out of Bio is a good, I think he's sure.
• 3:45:10
  I think he's not a score, know, just have a score, you know,
• 3:45:14
  velma's a defensive stalwart and you know, a decent offensive
• 3:45:18
  player. But it's you don't have a guy
• 3:45:21
  like this or what the promise of John Moran is compared to the
• 3:45:27
  reality Errol. How do you feel about jaw
• 3:45:30
  heading to a place like Miami? Where I'm sure that that would
• 3:45:33
  be a great place for him, dial it.
• 3:45:36
  Up. I wouldn't think that's a great
• 3:45:38
  place for him. Going to Miami with the gun
• 3:45:40
  charges and all the other stuff that we've heard that is not a
• 3:45:44
  good place for him party central before you continue.
• 3:45:46
  I have to tell you, they said in this article that Miami could
• 3:45:51
  provide the infrastructure that he needs.
• 3:45:55
  All right, under a veteran. I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna
• 3:45:58
  give you the twist here. We've had Tim Hardaway, senior
• 3:46:01
  on this show, who played for the Miami Heat and he was one guy
• 3:46:05
  that said that somebody needs to smack this guy around a little
• 3:46:08
  bit. Okay?
• 3:46:09
  And now he's gonna go to Miami and try to figure it out there.
• 3:46:12
  Good luck, I think. John Moran is a great player to
• 3:46:16
  say that he's washed up and he can't play anymore.
• 3:46:18
  He's 25 years old. He's a kid to say that he still
• 3:46:22
  in the prime of his. He's not even in the prime of
• 3:46:24
  his career yet to say that he's lost something.
• 3:46:27
  I don't think he's lost anything.
• 3:46:28
  I just don't think he fits there anymore.
• 3:46:30
  Men fits doesn't know how to control him.
• 3:46:32
  I think he needs to start over somewhere else and I think you
• 3:46:34
  need to go to a franch Eyes. That's going to give him a
• 3:46:37
  chance to flourish. Maybe a Sacramento or somewhere
• 3:46:40
  where it's quiet going to Miami, where it's loud, whereas
• 3:46:43
  partying, and stupidity and strip clubs.
• 3:46:46
  It doesn't bold well for a guy like John Morant to go to party
• 3:46:51
  central place like my anybody that's been there knows.
• 3:46:54
  That's, that's not a safe place for a guy like John Moran.
• 3:46:56
  So that's a place that never sleeps.
• 3:46:59
  You don't want him to go to a place that never sleeps.
• 3:47:01
  You wanted to go to sleep, you want him to hide himself in a
• 3:47:04
  room and make sure he's not bringing things out and about
• 3:47:08
  where he's gonna get himself in a trouble.
• 3:47:09
  So, I'm not surprised Miami's name is being involved in this
• 3:47:14
  conversation, Miami's looking for that other star.
• 3:47:17
  They haven't had a star, a superstar player like a Dwayne
• 3:47:20
  Wade in a long time. A LeBron James of that magnitude
• 3:47:24
  since they were Champions. And they're looking for that
• 3:47:26
  next up-and-coming guy. And they haven't drafted very
• 3:47:28
  well. Tyler Heroes been the closest
• 3:47:30
  thing, and I don't think Tyler Heroes anything.
• 3:47:33
  And like I said, bam out of Bio, he's a great player, but he's,
• 3:47:36
  he's not that go-to guy where you're going to put the lights
• 3:47:40
  on and shine. Hopefully, if you're gonna put
• 3:47:42
  your lights and you gonna shot it on John Moran, keep him out
• 3:47:45
  of the strip bars and keep him. Keep him away from the guns and
• 3:47:48
  the stupidity. James Harden, out of the strip
• 3:47:50
  bars. Yeah.
• 3:47:52
  That's that's another thing. Maybe they need to hang out
• 3:47:54
  together. Well what it is too.
• 3:47:55
  Like you said they the heat really need it.
• 3:47:58
  They're in a prime position right now.
• 3:47:59
  They're doing pretty well, they're winning a couple games,
• 3:48:01
  they need to like you said, have that one guy that's very flashy
• 3:48:05
  and very elite. It's like it's I forgot about
• 3:48:09
  Jimmy Buffett true. But even now that Um, actually
• 3:48:12
  no, there's last season that he was that he was moved from them.
• 3:48:14
  But whole point is, is, um, you know, they're looking to go back
• 3:48:17
  to that window because the window for Miami win a
• 3:48:20
  championship is definitely closed or it's a lot Slimmer.
• 3:48:22
  So for them to get that one other guy, I would say as a
• 3:48:26
  genre, is really, like you said, I think genre, I could
• 3:48:29
  definitely play. I think he definitely is not
• 3:48:30
  washed up the way. People make him seem.
• 3:48:32
  I know he 25 years old, how was he washed up?
• 3:48:35
  I think so many people have already thrown the towel on this
• 3:48:38
  kid. That if he does go to Miami,
• 3:48:40
  he's having a bad year. He's averaging 18 points.
• 3:48:42
  That's a bad year on a Memphis Grizzly team.
• 3:48:46
  Okay, and he'll be going up. He's shooting.
• 3:48:48
  Numbers are. Yes, because there's a reason
• 3:48:51
  why he's not healthy and he doesn't want to be there.
• 3:48:53
  If you don't want to be there, you don't want to be there.
• 3:48:57
  He's playing like crap and he don't care and he's playing like
• 3:49:01
  it. You like to pick on Klay
• 3:49:04
  Thompson, it's pretty funny. I mean everybody every time he's
• 3:49:09
  out there him and cleats and is something that's going on out
• 3:49:12
  there. Those two do not like each other
• 3:49:14
  and and what's great about John Moran, is he?
• 3:49:17
  He does it in such a Savage, kind of way.
• 3:49:21
  It's it's so funny. Klay Thompson takes everything.
• 3:49:25
  So seriously, and this guy doesn't take anything seriously.
• 3:49:28
  There are two of the complete opposites.
• 3:49:31
  It's very funny, really is, I would love to see them on like,
• 3:49:34
  on a one-on-one like reality TV show.
• 3:49:37
  Could you imagine these two go against one another to try to go
• 3:49:40
  into going? Go after the same girl make
• 3:49:44
  this. What is it?
• 3:49:46
  Megan? The stallion.
• 3:49:47
  Both of them go after the same woman that would be so freaking
• 3:49:50
  fun. So freaking worst programming on
• 3:49:53
  TV. This is one of my favorite
• 3:49:55
  Graphics I've made in a long time.
• 3:49:56
  I'm not gonna lie. All right, let's move on.
• 3:49:58
  Tony. Steves The Last Story.
• 3:50:01
  Yes, for say I'm sorry. What are we doing that?
• 3:50:08
  Savior tears crap. You know know what.
• 3:50:12
  You know what? It was your idea originally.
• 3:50:14
  Yeah, it's always my idea. Here it is John Calipari.
• 3:50:20
  Ripping the NFL please. Some classic.
• 3:50:24
  Yeah, but you gotta, I'll try to do the Calipari accent.
• 3:50:27
  I guess there are a lot of older gentlemen with beards playing
• 3:50:32
  basketball in college right now. There are so, the one that's
• 3:50:36
  crazy and the guy comes in and he's waving to his kids up in
• 3:50:39
  the seats and he's like, wait a minute.
• 3:50:41
  The guys got two kids. He's still playing college
• 3:50:44
  basketball. Crazy thing he's using nil for
• 3:50:48
  his first wife's alimony and now he's still playing college
• 3:50:52
  basketball. Are we nuts?
• 3:50:54
  So now you have these kind of games and these kind of scores
• 3:50:58
  Calipari very frustrated at playing teams with a bunch of 25
• 3:51:03
  year, olds on them. And then you know having the 18
• 3:51:06
  year old squads that he's trying to build because I guess, for
• 3:51:09
  some reason, he thinks he's trying to do it the right way
• 3:51:12
  for the first time in his career.
• 3:51:13
  But here we go. John Calipari, again.
• 3:51:19
  I love the, the main quote. His first wife alimony, he still
• 3:51:24
  playing college basketball. Are we nuts are all You know,
• 3:51:29
  it's so funny. He should go and hang out with
• 3:51:31
  Rick Pitino because it seems like every single one of his
• 3:51:35
  players right now playing for Saint John's or are over the age
• 3:51:38
  of 28. I mean both guys are complete
• 3:51:44
  opposites Calla Perry that he pretty much brings these guys in
• 3:51:47
  when they're 16 or 15 years, older topped ranked players and
• 3:51:51
  and that's how we recruit somebody recruited them in
• 3:51:53
  Kentucky. Look how many players went to
• 3:51:55
  the NBA at such a young age and they only played one year with
• 3:51:58
  him. He went to a National
• 3:51:59
  Championship, win, lose, and all that other stuff.
• 3:52:02
  And now you have copper coming out and saying they're too old,
• 3:52:05
  it's this. It's that nil deals are keeping
• 3:52:07
  them here and, and they're paying their, their wife, or
• 3:52:10
  their girlfriends girlfriend or something, because he got three
• 3:52:14
  or four kids who cares if they want to.
• 3:52:17
  If they're eligible to play college basketball, let him do
• 3:52:20
  that. That might be the only time
• 3:52:22
  they're going to make that kind of money.
• 3:52:23
  They're not going to the NBA and if they play in the league then
• 3:52:26
  I'm making any money over there either.
• 3:52:27
  Unless you're a big time Superstar going into the draft
• 3:52:31
  the year, after, as a first round draft pick.
• 3:52:33
  So, why are you complaining, Calipari?
• 3:52:35
  Nobody complains about some of the stupid stuff that you've
• 3:52:38
  done over the years. You've done.
• 3:52:40
  Out of stupid stuff. And you've heard the game of
• 3:52:43
  college basketball, by the way you did it, recruiting players
• 3:52:47
  could to go to Kentucky, but nobody complained to you, it was
• 3:52:50
  okay when you were doing it. Now, all of a sudden that nil
• 3:52:54
  deals are bringing these older, guys, to play college ball and
• 3:52:56
  because they're older, you don't like it and they're not young
• 3:52:59
  enough for your liking. You're going to complain about
• 3:53:02
  it. Bah humbug, go back Scrooge.
• 3:53:04
  I don't want to hear it from this guy, what a screwed.
• 3:53:08
  I and I like John Calipari. But a scrooge, a very screwed
• 3:53:11
  move. And I love Rick Pitino because
• 3:53:13
  he came out, he was on Jalen Brunson show which Josh Hart and
• 3:53:18
  they were interviewing him and it was very, very funny what he
• 3:53:20
  said in jail and Bronson came out and he says, well, how old
• 3:53:23
  are your guys? He said, the average player on
• 3:53:25
  my team is 207 years old and he's like, well, you get on
• 3:53:28
  there, right? He says, I get them when they're
• 3:53:30
  old because I'd rather coach older players that understand
• 3:53:33
  the game than the younger players where I'm trying to
• 3:53:35
  teach the game. So, it's, that's, that's the
• 3:53:38
  interesting take on it. And, and See how it works for
• 3:53:41
  Pitino. A lot of people believe that
• 3:53:43
  Pitino and the Saint John's storm could be a final four team
• 3:53:48
  this year. I wonder why Calipari.
• 3:53:50
  Maybe you should be taking some information from the petite
• 3:53:54
  star. Yeah.
• 3:53:55
  Before I answer my phone, it's funny adventure of petito
• 3:53:57
  because John Rossi, who is the big college basketball Insider
• 3:54:01
  to always has these nicknames, for these coaches and fish.
• 3:54:03
  You like this based on your, your thumbnail you made.
• 3:54:05
  He has a Rick pitos, The Godfather.
• 3:54:07
  A, John caliper is the last quarterly.
• 3:54:09
  Oh, that's so funny. It's so true right now.
• 3:54:12
  It really is. And that's what so great about
• 3:54:15
  Pitino and because I was thinking, when you pop that up,
• 3:54:18
  I'm like, Rick Pitino is doing the quite just the complete
• 3:54:21
  opposite, right? He loves the nihil, he loves
• 3:54:24
  that Saint John's. He's doing this and giving him
• 3:54:26
  his much nil that he could possibly can to go after the
• 3:54:30
  older people, the older player because they he thinks that it's
• 3:54:34
  better off, not teaching them. And they already understand how
• 3:54:37
  to play the game where it's it's harder to get them.
• 3:54:40
  To play his style again. So it's so it's so perfect to
• 3:54:43
  watch these two guys go out at it with one another, I would
• 3:54:46
  love to hear patino's, thought to what color are he said, and
• 3:54:48
  you never saw him embrace it, really until later on, at
• 3:54:51
  Kentucky, to even when other teams are starting to do, and it
• 3:54:53
  was a big reason, the SEC started to rise where it was
• 3:54:56
  having more parody in college. For a while because for a while
• 3:54:59
  it was Kentucky and Florida and then maybe you got maybe two
• 3:55:01
  other tournament teams that were very mediocre.
• 3:55:03
  Sometimes, you'll have your occasional year with LSU, your
• 3:55:06
  occasional year with Vanderbilt seems like that but it was
• 3:55:08
  always those two. Now, all of a sudden you look at
• 3:55:10
  all the parody Auburn's really good Alabama teams like that.
• 3:55:12
  Because Calipari, Kentucky really fell apart the last
• 3:55:15
  couple years. The first year, started to use
• 3:55:16
  the transfer portal was good in 2022.
• 3:55:18
  I thought they would wear it all.
• 3:55:19
  They go out in the first round against Saint Peters.
• 3:55:21
  It just shows. He is any idea how to use those
• 3:55:24
  types of players and now all of a sudden he's complaining about
• 3:55:26
  it because he's at Arkansas where the nil is not going to be
• 3:55:28
  as strong. He's gonna have influence on
• 3:55:29
  because it's heavy, but now he's completing about it, because the
• 3:55:32
  rest of the SEC is catching up and he stuck at, maybe the, I
• 3:55:35
  guess nil. Why is 9th or 10th Market of the
• 3:55:38
  SEC. Yeah.
• 3:55:39
  Have fun with that one. And hopefully your coaching
• 3:55:41
  prowess go. So far with the Arkansas Team in
• 3:55:43
  a very loaded SEC. That had 11 teams in the
• 3:55:45
  tournament last year. Maybe it's time to retire.
• 3:55:47
  Stop complaining. That's all I'm gonna say about
• 3:55:50
  that. I honestly, I have a lot of
• 3:55:53
  respect for John Calipari. I think he's one of the
• 3:55:55
  Godfathers of college basketball.
• 3:55:57
  He really is ever since Coach K has been gone guys.
• 3:56:00
  Like Rick Pitino him and, you know, Roy Williams before he
• 3:56:04
  retired, there were a lot of Godfathers and who's the kid
• 3:56:08
  from who's the guy from Michigan State?
• 3:56:10
  I'm sorry. Is so these guys.
• 3:56:12
  Yeah, these guys are the Godfathers of college
• 3:56:15
  basketball. And then you hear John Calipari,
• 3:56:19
  who's really been cheating for the last?
• 3:56:22
  I don't know. 10 years. We can talk.
• 3:56:24
  He and now he's complaining because he went to Arkansas
• 3:56:27
  player over 22. It is a entire career for a
• 3:56:30
  while what a baby. I mean and potatoes.
• 3:56:33
  So funny because Pitino made a joke about it and he's like
• 3:56:36
  yeah. And you know Josh Hart he does
• 3:56:38
  it in such a Savvy. Funny way.
• 3:56:40
  He was like you like, well, who's the youngest guy in a
• 3:56:43
  team? He's a, thank the old.
• 3:56:45
  The youngest guy on my team is over the age of 25, and he says,
• 3:56:49
  waiting Find these guys in schoolyard, schoolyard basket
• 3:56:52
  ball. I love it pretty much.
• 3:56:56
  You didn't have a guy. I think besides, their backup
• 3:56:58
  point guard on their championship team in 2012.
• 3:57:00
  I think he was the only one on their team that was in the for
• 3:57:03
  perfect season in 2015. Like, besides that, I can't even
• 3:57:05
  remember. I could talk a player that
• 3:57:07
  stayed for years of that and it's so funny because Pitino
• 3:57:10
  actually coach Kentucky years and years ago.
• 3:57:12
  So he understands what Kentucky's all about he
• 3:57:15
  understands what Saint John's is all about.
• 3:57:17
  He understands what New York basketball by the way, where is
• 3:57:20
  John Calipari from, who you are? Where is Pitino from New York
• 3:57:24
  nuff, said he got two New York guys.
• 3:57:27
  Coming out. Both both have their own
• 3:57:29
  opinions towards the way your going to use Nils one, bitching
• 3:57:33
  and moaning because it's not working out for him.
• 3:57:35
  And the other one has all the money in the world to do
• 3:57:37
  whatever he wants with it. So who doesn't like that?
• 3:57:41
  Well by the way, it was a great show.
• 3:57:43
  Thank you to the Savannah. Bananas for letting us
• 3:57:46
  interview, Conor Harris first I'm on a show and Adam Vyron.
• 3:57:52
  Joining us back and forth. Banter arguing Java joined does
• 3:57:56
  Java. Doesn't want to you know make
• 3:57:59
  that bet in front of all the New York fans at Savannah, banana
• 3:58:04
  game, I don't know. I I think that if anybody wants
• 3:58:07
  us to go viral okay? That ladies and gentlemen would
• 3:58:12
  make us go viral, come on Java, Chamberlain against me the mouth
• 3:58:17
  right in front of all the Yankee fans.
• 3:58:20
  The Savannah been out of fans. I get a chance to steal a base
• 3:58:24
  five times against him and if I do that, it would be fun.
• 3:58:28
  I don't think it'll ever happen but hey it's something to dream
• 3:58:32
  about and you know, maybe we can persuade the old Jobster on
• 3:58:37
  doing it. I doubt it.
• 3:58:38
  But nevertheless, it was a great show.
• 3:58:40
  Thank you to Joba for joining us.
• 3:58:41
  I know he's been dealing and, and moving on and and new thing
• 3:58:45
  Hutchins Hutch. He is actually going for the
• 3:58:49
  Pitching coach job over there at Hotshot.
• 3:58:51
  I think he's adding too much to that that cart as if he has
• 3:58:57
  asked me about that. Yeah, I don't know if he's gonna
• 3:59:00
  get it but good for him if that's what he wants to do.
• 3:59:04
  It's like they need it's an open position.
• 3:59:06
  That's what it sounded like early today.
• 3:59:09
  Yeah, well there's the field goal.
• 3:59:11
  All right, so three-point lead for an overtime right now for
