It's been a crazy, crazy weekend.
2:32
I went to two different parties on Sunday after driving home
2:36
from Mohican Sanctus, so we went to Salem.
2:39
Do you like scary movies though? Love them, love them, love.
2:44
You can call me whatever you want.
2:46
I'll be the first person to admit it.
2:47
I'll own it. I don't do scary movies.
2:49
I don't do haunted houses. I don't do none of that.
2:53
Really. You don't like the scary movies?
2:55
I no, no, I I you know what and you like I'll own it I I but I
3:01
just I've never been been a scary movie person.
3:05
I. I don't know, I got a movie for
3:07
all you people, all the fans out there.
3:09
If you want to see a scary movie or a really good story and weird
3:13
ending, go check out Weapons. That movie is crazy.
3:18
That is a crazy movie. It's on HBO right now, HBO Max.
3:23
It's called Weapons. Their storyline is crazy.
3:26
The whole thing it kids disappear off the face of the
3:30
earth. This class disappears and
3:32
everybody was blaming the teacher on the reasons why the
3:35
kids disappeared. But it's not it has nothing to
3:38
do with that. So it it's got so many twist to
3:41
the story. Go check it out.
3:43
It's called weapons. It really is good.
3:45
My friend Ray told me about it. I checked it out.
3:48
It was creepy. I actually was driving home and
3:50
listen to it. Yes.
3:52
I wasn't watching it. I was listening to it all the
3:55
way home from Atlantic City when I went to see Khalid.
3:58
It it, it actually is a really, really crazy movie.
4:01
So I had Britney at the tip of her toes.
4:04
She couldn't even watch anymore. She fell asleep because she got
4:06
so creeped out from the movie. It is a really good movie, so go
4:10
check it out. It's called Weapons.
4:12
So and no, I was not driving and watching television.
4:16
OK. For any of the fans out there
4:18
thinking that I'm doing illegal stuff, I'm not.
4:20
What happens is to keep my eyes open and I, I tell this to
4:23
people, you have to find something to pay attention to.
4:26
Some people listen to music. Music puts me to sleep.
4:29
I'm a DJ, so I do not listen to music when I'm driving.
4:32
So what I do is I put on movies and it keeps me up because I'm
4:36
listening to it. And I don't put on movies that
4:39
I've already seen because it, you know, my, my mind works in
4:44
very mysterious ways. So I have to you don't do you
4:46
don't do like. Podcasts or anything you do
4:48
movies. Movies I I can't sit and listen
4:50
to podcasts. They're all horrible.
4:52
I, I'm just speaking the truth here.
4:53
What about like books on tape? No, I can't do that.
4:56
I can't, I, I'm not a reader, OK.
4:59
And I know everybody tells me it's not technically reading.
5:02
I know. But it, it is kind of reading.
5:04
I mean, if you're listening to those audio books, it it's
5:08
reading, you have some and you get to pick whoever you want to
5:11
read to you. You can pick up, you can pick
5:13
Samuel L Jackson to read a story to you.
5:15
I don't want to hear Samuel L Jackson read a story.
5:19
If you get some of those dudes, that's a serious like put me to
5:22
sleep. Like some of those guys could
5:23
just be a oh, sorry. Global Strips.
5:26
I can't watch any of that. It's boring.
5:29
And then everybody tells me, well, go listen to podcasts or
5:32
go watch. I can't anybody that speaks
5:34
about sports and and that's all I want to listen to when it
5:37
comes to podcasts. And I like murder mysteries and
5:39
serial killers. So I've checked out some of the
5:42
stuff that goes on YouTube. I listen to some of the
5:44
documentaries, but I know all the stories about the serial
5:47
killers. I can write stories about it.
5:49
Everybody thinks I'm nuts. My friends tell me I'm crazy,
5:52
but that was something that I was always interested in when I
5:55
was a kid. If I wasn't going to do anything
5:57
in sports, I will. I would love to be a detective
6:00
or an FBI agent, but that never came to fruition.
6:03
And I, I honestly have no interest in doing that now.
6:06
But I'm going to tell you this right now.
6:07
I, I speak to my friend, he's a detective in the city and I give
6:11
him ideas on how to pick people and, and find people on the
6:16
streets. I give him ideas and he uses
6:18
some of my ideas to, you know, use his informants and, and all
6:22
of all that stuff on some of the movies that I watch.
6:24
There it is. I'm a killer right now.
6:26
I, I look like a zombie. I look like a demon over there.
6:30
Speedy, what do you think about that?
6:32
Freaky. I I, but you always say I'm a
6:34
freaky person. Yeah.
6:37
So I I would be a freaky demon, you know, I don't think you want
6:41
me, you know, crawling up in your bed or coming under your
6:44
bed or something like that. What do I call them?
6:46
The boogity man, The boogie man. Boogie man.
6:49
The boogie man. Yeah, I.
6:51
Would be. That's a scary movie too, I
6:52
think. I didn't think it was scary.
6:54
I don't. I don't think any horror movies
6:57
are scary. I actually think some of them
6:59
are just so funny. I laugh at it, I really do.
7:02
I'll I'll watch a scary movie and just absolutely die
7:05
laughing. I'm like, are you kidding me?
7:07
Is this what's going to scare me in this movie?
7:10
I'm waiting for it all movie. It takes like 30 or 40 minutes
7:15
for the the scary part to happen.
7:17
And I'm like sitting there. I'm like, okay, when's it going
7:19
to happen? When's it going to happen?
7:21
It's a build up. And then they have these white
7:23
noise movies and when they go to sleep you see them get picked up
7:27
and I'm like, get out of here. What the what are you trying to
7:29
sell me here? Something I've never seen
7:31
before. And I've actually seen ghosts
7:33
for real life. I actually in Massapequa and I'm
7:37
not going to get into the story, but there is a story that
7:40
Massapequa was built on an Indian Reservation and it's a
7:44
town where there's a lot of spooky things that have
7:47
happened. The House of Horrors is right
7:49
over there. Amityville, House of Horror,
7:50
which I think was taken down. I'm not sure.
7:52
Somebody told me he was knocked down.
7:54
I, I don't quote me on it, but I was told that it was knocked
7:57
down. But Massapequa, I used to live
8:00
there and my sister and me rent, rented a house.
8:03
She lived on the top and I lived on the bottom.
8:05
And I used to, well, I was a DJ obviously, but I also managed a
8:11
gym and I used to travel back and forth.
8:13
I wouldn't get home until late two, 3:00 in the morning.
8:16
And I, like I said, I don't want to get into the story because we
8:19
got a lot to get into today, but I saw a ghost and I could tell
8:23
you on air or off air. One of these days I'll tell you
8:25
the full story, but I I sincerely saw one and people
8:29
don't believe me. I don't care if you don't
8:30
believe me. Nevertheless, I actually saw one
8:34
and I was, I don't know. That was the one time I kind of
8:38
would tell you I almost crapped my pants, but that's all.
8:41
Another story. Let's go through the NFL.
8:43
Whip around. No whip, whip, whip around.
8:50
It's been a long one. Right, Errol, we're going to go
8:54
through this pretty quickly. There weren't any really.
8:57
The closest game was The Jets game, which we talked about the
9:00
top of the show. So we're going to get through
9:02
this one. First one is the Thursday game,
9:04
the Chargers all over the Vikings.
9:07
Carson Wentz played through some pain, apparently, a lot of pain.
9:11
He's out for the season. Looks like JJ McCarthy will be
9:14
back next week anyway, but it wasn't particularly close.
9:18
Another massive effort by the Chargers offense and Justin
9:21
Herbert and the Dolphins kind of came out of nowhere.
9:25
Actually. Coach on the.
9:27
Actually, Wes and Reno, Johnny said.
9:30
Go dolphins. Go Dolphins.
9:32
Say we're right. Well, regardless, kind of came
9:36
out of nowhere. Most people did not see them
9:39
being good at one point at all this season.
9:42
And the Falcons just came off of a good win.
9:44
And the Falcons put up a stink bomb.
9:46
They lose 34 to 10. Waddle had a long touchdown in
9:51
that game for the Dolphins. Justin Herbert is a beast.
9:55
We saw it and and in the first first quarter of the game, he
9:59
was up and down. He didn't really look good after
10:01
the first quarter. Justin Herbert took over the
10:03
game, the weapons that he has and and by the way, he's using a
10:08
a running back off off the scrap heat.
10:11
He doesn't even have a running back.
10:13
None of his starting running backs from the beginning of the
10:15
season is his running back. Now he got a guy who's like off
10:19
some other team scrap heed. So it was pretty amazing.
10:22
Round pickers or fifth or sixth round pick, This guy, the doll
10:26
that they had and everyone else is a scrappy guy on that rock.
10:30
Crazy. It was crazy.
10:31
And, and as far as the Dolphins are concerned, it just tells you
10:34
and it tells me one thing. The Falcons are not for real.
10:37
I I know everybody had this love fetish from Michael Pennix and
10:41
Bijon Robinson. How do you play the Dolphins at
10:44
home and lose that game? How do you lose that game?
10:47
Yeah, I was on the bandwagon too.
10:49
They looked like a top five NFC team for a while when they beat
10:51
they they beat the Bills. They had a good quality
10:53
performance. They their only bad loss was to
10:55
the Panthers. They hung tough with the Bucks
10:57
and now they just went in the other direction.
10:58
Ray Morris. In Atlanta.
11:01
This wasn't even in Miami. This was in Atlanta.
11:04
And we've, Errol and I have questioned Raheem Morrison as a
11:06
head coach on many occasions. I'm starting to question their
11:08
offensive coordinator with Zach Robinson.
11:09
I thought the Bijan Robinson issue was an Arthur Smith
11:12
problem. He doesn't want to use them
11:13
either. This is a Rams Sean Mcvade
11:15
disciple and they don't know what they're doing on offense.
11:17
The Vikings, they just need to get healthy.
11:18
I think they're still tough. But again, Carson Wentz, not the
11:21
answer. Well, I don't think Carson Wentz
11:24
is going to be the answer for anybody anytime soon.
11:26
The Falcons did go with it was banged up.
11:31
Kirk Cousins did not look very good at all in this game.
11:35
That offense did not run. Like you said, I don't know if
11:38
you're going with the back of a quarterback.
11:39
If it's me, I'm running the ball a lot and I'm giving the ball to
11:43
that, that playmaker. They didn't do it.
11:45
That's why they lost. Next set of games, The New
11:50
England Patriots keep rolling 32 to 13.
11:54
Over they played the Browns. Should be said Miles Garrett in
11:59
the loss, 5 sacks, unbelievable performance by that guy.
12:05
But Drake May, another three touchdowns, another efficient 18
12:08
of 24282. The guy just keeps lighting it
12:12
up. It's kind of unbelievable.
12:14
Trayvion Henderson finally getting it going.
12:16
The other Ohio State running back, 10 carries, 75 yards in
12:20
that one. And the Bills, I mean all over.
12:23
The Did I not tell you about the bills?
12:25
I knew this was going to be absolute.
12:27
James Cook, 19, carries, 216 and two touchdowns.
12:33
No run defense whatsoever in Carolina.
12:35
I there's nothing to say about the Patriots.
12:37
They played a lonely, bad Browns team and Miles Garrett, like you
12:41
said, 5 sacks. That's the only thing that
12:43
really stood out to me. The Browns stink.
12:46
I I do believe they'll beat The Jets after their bye week.
12:49
I I think they're the Browns are better than The Jets are all
12:52
around. But as far as the Bills are
12:54
concerned, they needed this win. They needed to dominate the
12:56
game. Everybody thought that the
12:57
Panthers were going to be in this game.
12:59
I was one of very few that thought that the Panthers had
13:02
any chance in this game. And the fact that they beat them
13:05
the way they did just tells you why the Bills, if they could
13:08
figure out how to stop the run, why they're an elite team in the
13:11
league. I just, I worry about the Bills
13:14
on stopping the run and now losing Ed Oliver.
13:16
I think they're in a lot of trouble.
13:17
Yeah, you wonder if that was the depth of the defensive tackle is
13:20
a question they had in the draft.
13:21
That's why they traded up to get a defensive tackle on TJ Edwards
13:24
in the second round. But Even so, like you're going
13:26
to trust a bunch of rookies right away to be able to fill
13:28
the void for Ed Oliver. Milano just came back.
13:30
How healthy is he? And they had Benford just came
13:32
back from injury, too. I agree with you.
13:34
I'm concerned about their defense.
13:35
They should prioritize at the deadline.
13:37
And the Browns, it sucks that they're good rookies are
13:39
actually the ones playing well and they keep getting hurt.
13:40
Jumpkins and Swessinger their linebacker as well.
13:44
All right, let's go from these two blowouts to a couple of
13:47
games better just making people scratch their heads that we're
13:50
gambling. The Ravens without Lamar
13:53
Jackson, by the way, they may be fine for how they did some of
13:57
the Lamar, you know, injury reports during the week, they're
14:01
saying. Damon Jones.
14:02
Is 16 no Damon Jones, as far as we know, involved in that 1-2
14:08
touchdown win with Snoop Huntley at quarterback, Derek Henry, 22
14:13
touchdowns on the ground and that one some bad decision
14:16
making by Caleb Williams and that one Roman Doones.
14:18
A good game over 100 yards, but not enough to beat a depleted
14:22
Ravens team that was really struggling.
14:24
And then the Texans beat the 49ers.
14:27
That Texans defense was all over.
14:30
Mac Jones heard he was not ready to go in this one yet again.
14:35
It was close they thought. But no, he gets killed in this
14:39
game. I'm not surprised about the
14:42
Ravens. Lamar Jackson and no Lamar
14:45
Jackson. This is a Raven, Raven team
14:47
that's underachieved this year. Their defense is not elite, but
14:51
they have a pretty good offense. They got weapons.
14:54
I I'm very surprised that the Ravens have the record that they
14:57
have right now. The Bears are up and coming.
15:00
Give them another year under that that offense and under Ben
15:03
Johnson and and Caleb Williams, I think they're going to be fine
15:07
as far as the Texans are concerned.
15:08
What a shocker. The 49ers that have been
15:11
winning, winning, winning, doesn't matter who they're
15:13
playing. And oh, I, I wanted to send a
15:15
text to Owen so bad because I was like, what the hell?
15:18
You, you win all these games and you're, you're bragging about,
15:21
oh, look at Mac Jones, look at this, look at that.
15:23
Well, how about this game? The Texans have not looked good
15:26
over the last couple of weeks. And then they go to, they go to
15:30
San Francisco and beat you on your own, on your own home turf.
15:34
What a joke. Yeah, they're we, we, Errol and
15:36
I, we both picked the Ravens. And one of the main reasons why
15:38
was the running. The Chicago's had trouble
15:40
stopping the run this year. They were also down like pretty
15:42
much their entire secondary in that game, too.
15:44
They already placed Kyler Gordon on injured reserve and the
15:46
Ravens were able to make it work.
15:48
And like you were saying, Fish, Caleb Williams probably had a
15:50
rough game. They're not a great defense, but
15:52
they're still a talented enough defense.
15:53
They weren't going to be this bad forever.
15:55
I will. I will say something.
15:57
Anderson, the pass rusher on the Texans, is going to be up for
16:00
Defensive Player of the Year. He's having an unbelievable year
16:03
right now. He's as as he's been in the
16:05
league for three years. This guy was a top for what was
16:08
he a first? 3rd 3rd overall pick.
16:09
They and they trade. Traded up.
16:11
This guy, this guy is the next Miles Garrett in the league.
16:15
That's how good he is. He is looking like an absolute
16:19
dude. He's clothes lining people.
16:21
It's unbelievable. He is awesome.
16:24
He's going to be up for defensive player of the year,
16:26
him, Miles Garrett. I mean, he's going to have the
16:29
opportunity to win it. He's having just as good a year
16:32
as any. Burns, Bry Burns, yeah, too.
16:34
Yeah. I don't think Burns is going to
16:35
win. I think he's going to slow down.
16:37
I think Burns is going to slow down.
16:38
I think he'll get into that conversation, but I don't know
16:42
how anyone's as good as Miles Garrett, to be honest with you.
16:44
But Speedy, you got this 49ers team that doesn't have an
16:50
offensive line. They just can't stop a team like
16:54
the Texans. What?
16:55
What are they even playing around with?
16:57
We're getting close to this deadline.
16:58
Are they going to add or that this is a team that's looking to
17:01
subtract? They look like they need to make
17:04
a choice one way or the other. Yeah, they lost this game in the
17:06
trenches and I I, I I'm not surprised Houston won this game.
17:09
I told you, Tommy, in the car last week that I said it's going
17:12
to be a very ugly low scoring game.
17:13
That 49ers also could not rush the passer in this game against
17:16
the Texans offensive line. I guess played a little better,
17:19
but it was saying was one of the worst in the league for a while
17:21
and they couldn't rush the passer at all.
17:23
And the Niners offensive line, like, yeah, it's been an issue
17:25
for them all year. When Houston knows how to game
17:27
plan for Christian McCaffrey again, Rebecca Ryan's coming
17:30
from the Kyle Shanahan tree. They just made sure everyone
17:33
else beat them and no one else could beat them.
17:34
Very simple as that. Three Iowa State receivers get
17:39
in the going on that team for the Texans, Hutchinson, but from
17:43
the couple years earlier and then Noel and Higgins getting to
17:47
going for that team. That's interesting that they did
17:49
that. We got a couple more left.
17:52
These are another couple of blowouts.
17:55
They finally did it. They benched Spencer Rattler.
17:59
They couldn't watch it anymore. They brought in Tyler Shuck and
18:02
guess what, he shucks too. They were terrible.
18:06
The Buccaneers, they had a a defensive lineman pick six in
18:09
this game off of Spencer Rattler. 2313 Baker Mayfield
18:13
didn't have to do anything other than hand it off the third
18:16
string running backs in this one.
18:18
And then, as predicted, that Cowboys defense, which looks
18:22
like Swiss cheese, got shredded by bone.
18:25
Knicks and the Broncos. 44 to 24 in that. 1/4 touchdowns for
18:31
Knicks for the second straight game. 111 yards on the ground
18:35
for Dobbins. Troy Franklin, 6 catches, 89
18:37
yards to TD's. Who cares about the Buccaneers
18:41
game? We all knew that was going to
18:43
happen of the Saints stick. They'll probably beat The Jets,
18:47
but that's about it as far as the Broncos in the Cowboys.
18:50
I got a text from the beef that Dak stinks.
18:53
Okay, and I I'm laughing at it and I'm like, you're going to
18:58
blame Dak for this. I mean, honestly, the Cowboys
19:03
ran into a jigsaw puzzle and, and, and the jigsaw puzzle is
19:07
this Broncos defense. And when they're on the top of
19:11
their game, they're as good as anybody in the league.
19:13
They're a top five defense all season long and they're starting
19:18
to play really good football. And if this offense can play
19:22
like this, watch out for the Broncos.
19:25
Yeah, the Broncos offense in the last couple weeks has really
19:27
picked it up, especially with the passing game.
19:29
Bonex doing a great job spreading the ball around
19:31
because teams are actually doing a good job containing Courtland
19:33
Sutton and he's making those secondary options work a
19:35
different one every game, kind of like what we were saying
19:37
about the Colts. Now we'll see what the injury of
19:39
Patrick Sotani should. He could miss in time, but don't
19:41
sleep on Riley Moss. Riley Moss had a really good
19:44
year as a second corner and as long as they can still get that
19:47
pass rush, they should be able to weather the storm.
19:48
Well, depending on the schedule that they have.
19:50
This is the real contender in the AFCI.
19:52
Think they're ahead of the Bills right now.
19:53
The way they are, they're probably the second best team
19:55
behind the Colts and the Buccaneers.
19:56
They look ugly, but they beat a terrible team.
19:59
Yeah, Cowboys probably could use, you know, like a really
20:01
good pass rusher right now off the edge kind of be, oh, wait,
20:04
they had one of those guys and they got rid of them because
20:06
they didn't want to win this season.
20:08
All right, so here we go to the last set of games.
20:11
The Colts again, Danny Dimes, Jonathan Taylor.
20:16
Again Jonathan Taylor, 12 carries. 153 yards, 2
20:21
touchdowns. Daniel Jones 21 and 29272 Three
20:24
touchdowns. Pittman with a really
20:26
spectacular one handed behind the body.
20:29
I I love it. It's rolling off your tongue.
20:31
Say it again. What?
20:32
What did Danny done to do what? What?
20:34
Did he do? It was very good.
20:36
This team is also one of the worst teams in football, the
20:38
Titans. We know that I'm just.
20:39
Saying it was a massacre wasn't close.
20:41
Colts are 7 and one leading the NFL.
20:44
Also doing really well are the Green Bay Packers behind Jordan
20:48
Love's big fourth quarter performance. 3 touchdowns in the
20:52
fourth. Love gets 360 yards and three
20:56
touchdowns. 2 to Tucker Craft with 7 catches, 143 at tight
21:01
end. He's basically a top two top
21:03
three tight end right now in football and fantasy.
21:06
The Packers knock off Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers 35 to
21:11
25. Tucker was unbelievable, Jordan
21:14
Love was unbelievable, and why not do it right in front of
21:18
Aaron Rodgers, in front of all the Steeler fans?
21:22
I was fun to watch. I always knew that Jordan Love
21:24
was going to be a good quarterback.
21:26
I think he's starting to make a statement on why everybody
21:29
believes it now. I don't know if the Packers are
21:31
contender. I don't think they're better
21:33
than the Eagles. I think it's going to be very
21:35
hard for them to get through the Eagles in the playoffs, the way
21:38
the Eagles, I believe are going to take off in the second-half
21:40
of the season. But Steelers stink.
21:44
And I'm going to tell you, you know what looks really old?
21:46
TJ Watt. He has not look like the same
21:50
pass rusher and same dominant player at the line of scrimmage
21:54
this season like he has over the last couple of years.
21:56
I'm not saying he's not great, but he's not the same player.
21:59
He got a lot of money in the offseason.
22:00
He's not. He's a shell of what he was the
22:02
last two. Years his PFF numbers are down.
22:05
You know, we checked Micah Parsons last week.
22:07
He was still ranked number one overall as edge rusher.
22:11
TJ Watts, 20th overall right now as an edge rusher.
22:14
So obviously still elite, but not at the heights that we're
22:17
used to with him. As far as the cults are
22:20
concerned, not surprised. I've already told you guys the
22:24
Colts are the best team in the AFC right now, and they're going
22:27
to stay the best team in the AFC all season long.
22:31
Best offensive line, top five offensive line in football, top
22:34
front 7 in football, top secondary in football, top
22:38
quarterback in football, top wide receivers in football, and
22:42
the best running back right now in all of football.
22:46
Jonathan Taylor, I can't say anymore.
22:49
And by the way, probably Coach of the Year and Steiken right
22:52
now, so. Yeah, as long as the edge rush
22:54
and the corners hold up for the Colts, they're going to be a
22:56
very good team and they're going to be the best team in the AFC
22:58
all year. The offense, I don't see any
22:59
flaw and they have everything you want.
23:02
Even their second receiver spot that was questionable.
23:04
They have one of each type, so they can just game plan and they
23:06
took out Tyler Warren and they still made it work.
23:08
Daniel Jones was still very impressive stretching the ball
23:10
down the field. The Packers, I agree with you.
23:12
I think I still have them behind the Rams, Bucks and Eagles in
23:15
the NFC. But they definitely showed a
23:16
little more promise on offense a little bit against the Steelers
23:19
defense that still schematically is good.
23:21
And Fish, you were talking about TJ Wob having it down here.
23:23
There's a lot of Steelers fans that want him to be traded next
23:25
season already. It's crazy to think, OK.
23:28
Let's ship the music. I want to say something.
23:30
I want to say something very nicely to all the Giant fans
23:34
that picked on this man, and I'm going to say it very, very
23:37
carefully and calmly for all of you guys to hear.
23:41
If the Giants actually gave Danny Jones, I'm not going to
23:46
call him Daniel Jones. I'm going to call him Danny
23:48
Jones. What he was supposed to get all
23:51
those years, not trade off or not trade off.
23:55
Let go of Saquon Barkley and maybe draft a guy like Malik
23:59
Neighbors and gave him weapons. This could be the Giants right
24:03
now as we speak with the defense they have shame on the New York
24:09
Giants. That's all I'm going to say.
24:10
Shame, shame. Go away.
24:13
You're talking about the Giants defense that gave up 33 points
24:15
in the fourth quarter to the Denver Broncos.
24:18
Just saying 2 weeks ago Giant fans were picking on this guy
24:21
that he's no good, he's not anything.
24:23
He's, he's garbage. And, and, and, and right now to
24:27
me, he's been the most consistent quarterback in the
24:29
NFL for eight weeks. I, I don't know what more you
24:33
need to, to even watch to understand what this guy is
24:37
doing right now in the NFL. So I, and, and it's not because
24:41
he's dating somebody. It's not because of this or that
24:44
he's putting on a show and he's getting better week by week.
24:48
So it just tells you that the Giants had a franchise
24:52
quarterback and didn't use them the right way.
24:54
So that's all I'm gonna say. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
24:59
we call this Dial it Up. We interrupt this regularly
25:01
scheduled hot mix to bring an important news book.
25:04
We got a big broadcast to do here.
25:06
We're about to dial it all it. Up All right guys, welcome to.
25:14
Dial it up round. Sports take segment where we're
25:19
going to go through some of the stories going on around the
25:23
league. Errol hasn't seen it.
25:25
This is going to go to outside of our usual depth, but this is
25:29
a favorite story of all of us. Brian Kelly, fired by LSU in the
25:36
fifth year of his 10 year, $100 million contract.
25:40
They owe him $54,000,000 more on his deal.
25:44
He was 34 and 14 in over four years in the Bayou.
25:48
But the Tigers have lost three of their past four games,
25:52
including falling to Texas A&M 49 to 25 on Saturday.
25:56
They actually will take on #4 Alabama after a bye doesn't look
26:01
much more promising out there. They also got rid of their
26:03
offensive coordinator Joe Sloan, long time Kelly Lieutenant let
26:08
go on Monday. Kelly, who had more than his
26:11
share of detractors over the years.
26:14
And I don't think I even need to guess who I'm going to ask talk
26:17
about this when I think our intern Jared might have a few
26:19
things to say about Brian Kelly for his awkward recruiting
26:23
videos, his fake accents. He did the Pulp Fiction dance
26:29
with recruits, if you remember. Man, what a weirdo.
26:32
His other sideline antics. It should be the top job,
26:36
though, now that he's gone open in college football.
26:40
Errol. Dial it up well, 54,000,000 is
26:45
the number guys 54 million dollars that they owe to this
26:51
man and he took this job really because of the money.
26:54
I don't think he really wanted this job.
26:56
He screwed up Notre Dame everywhere he goes he everybody
26:59
says he's a great coach and all that other stuff.
27:02
How many national championships does he play for How many
27:04
national championships has he won?
27:07
And I understand he had a winning record.
27:09
It doesn't matter you you're you have one of the best recruiting
27:12
places in the world in LSU. You can recruit anybody.
27:16
Malik Neighbors. Look at all the guys.
27:17
You had a quarterback that decided to not go into last
27:20
year's draft because you had a chance to win a national
27:23
championship and you laid out a lousy goose egg this year and he
27:26
could have been a top five pick. Now he falls out of the top
27:30
five. He probably falls out of the
27:31
first round, maybe because of Brian Kelly.
27:35
To me, the LSU Tigers should have been a lot better than they
27:38
were this year. They were expected to be a top
27:42
contending team in that tournament and a top 12 teams in
27:45
a country. How many wins do they have?
27:47
How many losses do they have? They have more losses than they
27:50
do, I believe, of wins. They've been horrible.
27:53
It's been a, you know, Brian, Brian Kelly.
27:56
Kelly is an obnoxious piece of you know what everybody would
27:59
say that about him. He's obnoxious.
28:02
I watched him on that on that NCAA SEC documentary on Netflix.
28:08
He's an obnoxious piece. So you know what trash, and I
28:11
don't care if you're not an LSU Tiger fan or you're not an LSU
28:15
fan, you know that you can't stand Brian Kelly so a good luck
28:20
to the LSU Tigers paying him back 54,000,000.
28:23
I know there's an insurance policy that's going to get paid
28:25
back at least 1/4 of it. It's not going to make a
28:28
difference. They're go broke before they get
28:31
the right guy in place. So I think it's yes, it's the
28:34
best school it right now, it's the best job available, but who
28:38
wants it honestly? Yeah, this was I was giddy
28:43
hearing the news. It kind of played out like AI
28:46
saw a friend swimming of tweet us that played out like a South
28:48
American hostage crisis going on of this.
28:51
Oh, there's now they're meeting with the players tonight.
28:55
But the coaches were just called in.
28:57
There's different different things being brought in one
28:59
after the other. And then finally, the big news,
29:02
It's been a long time coming. He sucks this.
29:05
He's been given every resource possible to succeed.
29:07
He said when he came here, I finally have the resources to
29:09
win a championship like he didn't, that Notre Dame.
29:12
And you turn it into an 8 and four team.
29:14
There are two things an LSU team should always be able to do and
29:18
that is run the football and defend.
29:20
They could not do that his entire tenure.
29:23
And that was all scheme based and lousy scouting and roster
29:26
construction that really made no sense.
29:29
And then he responded to all the criticism by constantly blaming
29:32
other people. The entire time he was.
29:34
There, like Garrett Nussmeyer called a bad timeout.
29:37
OK, what's he going to make the make the play call?
29:40
No, he's going to scream at Garrett Nussmeyer for the entire
29:42
timeout and then send him right back out there.
29:44
That's Brian Kelly's coaching style.
29:46
Absolute clown. Isn't he the one that recruited
29:49
Matt Tateo? Yes, he wasn't.
29:51
That was the only time they went to a national championship.
29:54
That's a. That's a.
29:55
Brian Kelly. Guy, Yeah.
29:57
And Jared, Jared, I want to, I want to go on to allude to your
29:59
point too. This was always known as DB you,
30:01
cornerback you. For a while, they've not been
30:04
able to develop good corners. Since then, they've had pass
30:06
rushers that were very highly touted that have not been able
30:08
to amount to anything, mainly Harold Perkins being the biggest
30:12
one. That was supposed to be the
30:13
maybe the number one pick in a lot of people's like early mock
30:15
drafts. Yeah.
30:17
The last year and Save Your Tears legend Keyshawn Booty sat
30:21
out a whole season of college football because of how much he
30:24
did not like Brian Kelly. There There's been other players
30:27
that have really feuded with him.
30:28
This was a fire that was doomed from the start.
30:30
And Arrows absolutely right. He took it because of the money.
30:32
Notre Dame's an independent team, so they're not going to
30:34
have the same level of resource, even though they're highly
30:36
touted as an SEC school. You knew the NIL wave was going
30:39
to come. So all of a sudden he's going to
30:41
take this job. And where did he get you?
30:43
OK, you had a couple good offensive season.
30:44
You had a couple high draft picks, but still losing big game
30:46
and still not getting anywhere in the SEC.
30:48
Yeah, this was long overdue. Alright, we're going to move on
30:54
from Brian Kelly just as fast as LSU did.
30:58
Here we go. We're going to move into
31:00
baseball. Look at that.
31:03
That is the best pitcher in the world and the reports are he is
31:07
on the move. The Athletics Jim Bowden reports
31:10
that the Tigers are going to be shopping, likely back-to-back AL
31:14
Cy Young winner Tarek Schuble at the winter meetings this
31:18
offseason. Apparently, they are about $250
31:22
million apart in negotiations, and the Tigers will likely be
31:27
forced to move on and sell high on their ace.
31:32
As you expect, the interested teams include all the
31:35
heavyweights, the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Mets
31:39
and the Giants. This is going to be a lot of
31:44
what's in the news this winter, Errol.
31:48
I can't believe this story. It just shows you how
31:52
incompetently stupid this organization really is.
31:55
Think about it. You have the best pitcher in
31:58
baseball for the last two years. The guy throws 105 mph in a
32:03
complete game in the 9th inning this year and you're going to
32:07
trade him? This guy's going to win the Cy
32:09
Young again this year and you're going to trade him?
32:13
It makes absolutely no sense and it just tells you why this
32:18
organization doesn't know how to hold on to players, not key
32:21
players. They traded away Justin
32:23
Verlander, they traded away Max Scherzer.
32:25
They don't keep away. They don't keep guys there and
32:28
happy. They had Miguel Cabrera for a
32:30
significant amount of time, Never won a championship there.
32:33
I and you, you have Scubal, who everybody makes fun of because I
32:37
can't pronounce his name. Tarek Scubal.
32:39
And now you're going to go to the baseball meetings in the
32:43
offseason, you're going to trade them.
32:44
And I'm going to tell you this right now, the team that should
32:47
be absolutely lining up for him is the New York Mets.
32:52
That is should, that is the team that should be lining up for
32:56
him. Who cares if you trade away
32:58
McClain, Tong and any of these guys?
33:01
You get this guy in your ace. This guy's a shut down pitcher.
33:05
He's the best pitcher in baseball.
33:07
You keep one of those or two of those guys, you trade McClain
33:10
and a bunch of other prospects for him.
33:12
I would make that deal in a heartbeat to bring in Tarek
33:15
School. This guy is as good as any
33:18
pitcher in baseball and I, I think the Yankees and the Red
33:21
Sox will be interested. But the Mets have the pitching
33:24
prospects to to make that deal and they have the money.
33:27
The richest man in baseball. I think the Mets should be
33:30
absolutely reaching out to the Detroit Tigers at the end of the
33:35
season. It's a slam dunk for them.
33:37
Yeah, I was definitely seeing already enough trade rumors.
33:39
I think the Mets said only Nolan McLean is the only one that's
33:42
untouchable right now. So everything else could go,
33:44
even the ones that are on the Major League roster.
33:45
Beatty Vientos could make that work.
33:47
Boston's got a rich group of young players too.
33:49
They could definitely make that work.
33:51
One team Fish that wasn't on your list that I could
33:52
definitely see as well as the Cobs.
33:54
They have I think the 6th best farm system in baseball.
33:56
They definitely can make a swing.
33:57
They have another owner that likes to spend money too, so it
33:59
makes sense. The other thing I want to
34:01
mention with the contract to the report, I was here, I forget
34:03
which insider was saying it was that the Tigers offer ten years,
34:06
600 million. It was the projected offer the
34:09
day it looks like they're willing to pay up for it.
34:12
It just maybe it's a Boris thing.
34:13
Maybe. Going to be a maybe.
34:14
It's a years thing. I don't really know.
34:16
Like if they want to extend a 2027 year old pitcher for even.
34:19
I'm telling 10 years. I'm telling you right now,
34:21
Speedy, you don't have to speak. I'm telling you right now, Book
34:24
it. Sell it away, as Christopher
34:26
Cross always says, and he's going to be sailing away to the
34:29
New York Mets. I'm telling you, they're the
34:32
only organization stupid enough to give him 5 to $600 million
34:36
after giving Juan Soda $700 million last year.
34:39
I'm telling you, book it. The Yankees, the Red Sox, none
34:43
of those teams would give him 600.
34:45
The Mets will, and they would trade away prospects.
34:48
It's a, it's an absolute slam dunk for the Mets.
34:50
There's no more to set. He's going to be a Met.
34:54
Book it. Remember I said this?
34:57
You happy about that Speedy? He's going to be a met for you.
35:02
Book it 100% I'm telling you right now.
35:05
Bet it. I don't care what Vegas has or
35:08
plus plus minus, whatever the hell they do with the betting
35:11
betting lines. He will be a New York met.
35:14
I'm telling you, book it after the baseball meetings.
35:17
He will be traded to the New York Mets.
35:19
They got the prospects, they got the money and they got the owner
35:22
who wants to win desperately. They need a number one and they
35:26
need a guy that can close in games and complete games.
35:29
He's the guy. Yeah, I agree.
35:31
It's their number. It's the team with the biggest
35:33
need right there at that spot. So here we go.
35:36
We're moving on to the court and that is Austin Eaves, who
35:40
dropped 51 points, almost a trick, a triple double without
35:45
Luca or LeBron on the field, on the court without Luca.
35:51
He defeated the Lakers, defeated the Sacramento Kings one 27120
35:54
behind the star turn of forward Austin Reeves, a career high 51
36:00
points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists. Especially on a night where you
36:04
don't have Luca, you don't have Braun, you don't have Jackson
36:06
Hayes. He got to go out there and be
36:09
big for the team. I wasn't in my head thinking you
36:11
got to go score 50. It was do whatever you can do to
36:15
help the team win. He shot 12 of 22, six of 10 from
36:18
three and went 21 of 22 from the free throw line.
36:23
Now the big question with this is do the Lakers have a real
36:27
third banana when LeBron comes back with Luca and Austin
36:32
Reeves? Errol, dial it up.
36:36
They got a trade chip and that's all they got.
36:39
He's not going to be there long. Last year at the trade deadline,
36:43
the New York Knicks were interested in Austin Reeves and
36:45
it never happened and never came to fruition because the Knicks
36:48
weren't willing to trade Mitchell Robertson.
36:51
I do believe they'll be teams that are interested in a guy
36:54
that can shoot. Austin could shoot.
36:56
He's a good perimeter player. He can defend somewhat for for
37:00
what he can do on on a basketball court.
37:03
Is he 1/3 type of player? I don't think the Lakers are
37:06
playoff team. Lucas not going to be healthy
37:08
all year. LeBron James is out for three to
37:10
four weeks. How long, how many games is
37:12
LeBron going to play? It seems like every year he's
37:15
playing 62 to 63 games and he misses about 20.
37:19
Now he's going to miss a significant portion of the game,
37:21
games in the first month. How many games he's going to
37:24
miss between he's getting old and he's getting up there in
37:26
age. I think LeBron James is going to
37:28
be traded. It's just going to be Luca and
37:30
everybody else. Austin Reeves will be a trade
37:33
ship at the trade deadline. He's a young piece that other
37:37
teams might be interested in bringing in and developing.
37:41
I couldn't disagree more. I mean, Austin Reeves is a
37:44
really likable person. He's a very, very.
37:47
He's he plays well, he's very somewhat inconsistent on the
37:49
defense. Like you mentioned about 1/3
37:52
option for the Lakers. I don't know about that.
37:54
Like you said, a chip that is going to be traded.
37:56
And the thing with the Lakers and especially in this LeBron
37:59
era, he doesn't they never really have a true third person.
38:03
It's only you have the LeBron and AD era where they also were
38:06
trying to work with KENTA I. Don't remember his name?
38:09
Kentavious Caldwell, Pulp, KCP, everybody remembers and they
38:13
also had another dude I can't remember his name too, Taylan
38:15
Horton Tucker, another guy that was supposed to be their true
38:17
third guy on their on their team.
38:20
But none of that ended up working out.
38:22
AR15, as he likes to call himself sometimes, is a very
38:25
somewhat, how would you say reliable third option, but it's
38:30
definitely not going to pan out well.
38:31
He's definitely going to be traded before that.
38:32
So you agree with me, not disagree.
38:34
No, I said. I couldn't agree with you.
38:36
More. No, you said.
38:37
Disagree. Did say disagree?
38:38
Did say disagree? Did say well.
38:39
I couldn't agree with you. I was about to say I was.
38:42
I'm a little lost here. He looks like he is agreeing
38:45
with me here. Yeah, throw a little.
38:47
Curveball there, yeah. I couldn't agree with you more
38:49
though. Austin Reed so.
38:51
What do they trade for? What do they need?
38:52
Do they need a point guard to go with the two of them?
38:55
You need the center. I want to have a seat.
38:56
Desperately need like, you know, to pair with them and let those
39:00
two guys. You want to know my honest
39:02
opinion? Lebron's getting traded to
39:04
Dallas. I already told you I wouldn't be
39:06
surprised if they they trade Austin, Reeves and LeBron for a
39:11
bunch of a bunch of draft picks and maybe a player or two on
39:16
that roster. You.
39:16
Think AR is going to with LeBron with?
39:19
LeBron in a trade in a big and there'll be other teams
39:22
involved. They'll probably be 3.
39:23
Teams, I don't think they can trade him and LeBron, I don't
39:26
know why not because they got a contract.
39:29
They do well if you trade. That's a valuable guy.
39:33
Well. I, I just don't know if I, I
39:36
don't think LeBron is staying here.
39:38
I, I think LeBron is going to be asking his way out and, and you
39:42
could see Dallas has deficiencies in really in the
39:44
1st 223 games of the season, you know, they got problems.
39:48
So I expect LeBron James can clean up those problems.
39:51
He can give you that defense, he can give you some offense.
39:54
And I, I wouldn't even be surprised if Dallas uses LeBron
39:57
James off the bench for the first time in his career.
40:00
It makes a lot of sense. LeBron James could give you 20
40:02
points off the bench. I know you guys are smiling at
40:05
me and looking at me. You get that consistency off the
40:08
bench of LeBron James giving you 20 points off the bench.
40:10
He's at that tail end of his career where he would do that to
40:14
go to a championship team and be the 6th man off the bench.
40:17
Mark my words, he's going to get traded to Dallas and I believe
40:21
Reeves, it's it's it's all about Luca.
40:23
They're going to build the team around Luca.
40:25
They're going to give them a bunch of young players and
40:27
they're going to build around through the draft.
40:28
So that's what I expect. I don't know.
40:32
If Damon Jones was around, I'm sure he'd be able to bet on it.
40:35
Now here is the next NBA story. Oh my goodness, this one is
40:40
hilarious. Kendrick Perkins.
40:43
Oh, God, went out on social media and said back when they
40:48
were all together in Oklahoma City talking about Kevin Durant,
40:52
Russell Westbrook and James Harden, it was not any of the
40:55
three of them. It was him, the great Kendrick
40:59
Perkins who was the locker room leader in Oklahoma City.
41:04
His quote, and I put a few of the quotes up up here when I was
41:08
with OKC. It wasn't Katie, it wasn't
41:09
Rusty, it wasn't James. I was the one leading and then
41:13
Kevin Durant responded. I know this may be a reach, but
41:16
this comment is by far the craziest S I've seen this week.
41:21
He went on to continue to RIP on Kendrick Perkins on social media
41:27
calling him the actual real MVP. And Perkins then fired back,
41:34
says that's cap, you know, that's cap, and said that he and
41:38
Nick Collison, the role-playing forward from that that team was,
41:43
were the real leaders of the young guns of KD, James Harden
41:49
and Russell Westbrook. Errol.
41:51
Dial it up. I would love to hear what
41:54
Kendrick when he was saying this.
41:57
Kendrick Perkins was drinking, smoking or whatever drugs he was
42:01
on when he actually believes this.
42:03
The one time I would agree with Kevin and Kevin Durant on any
42:07
conversation or if he takes to think that he was the leader.
42:11
I didn't even know Kendrick Perkins was on that team
42:14
honestly. I knew Nick Collison, I knew I
42:17
knew what the Serge Ibaka, I knew that team.
42:20
I don't even remember Kendrick Perkins on those teams.
42:23
That tells me I could give a rats ass if Kendrick Perkins was
42:28
on that team. Why would anybody listen to
42:30
Kendrick Perkins when you have 3 superstars like James Harden,
42:34
Russell Westbrook, even Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant on the
42:38
same team? I think Kendrick Perkins is out
42:41
of his damn mind. I I really think he believes
42:44
this and you want to know something.
42:45
He's either trying to get more followers on his social medias
42:49
or he's got he's trying to find another job because he's getting
42:52
fired from ESPN. And first take, this is a
42:56
ridiculous take. I, if I was Kevin Durant, I
42:59
would reach out. I'd actually make an extra
43:02
Twitter account and just make fun of his tank.
43:05
I, I would have 8 Twitter accounts instead of seven.
43:08
It's a joke, an absolute joke. He probably did do that, to be
43:13
honest. But to be fair, you know, it was
43:15
only about two weekends ago that I went to see my nephews out of
43:19
New Jersey. And I I took my nephew and I put
43:22
him on my lap. And I just told him the story of
43:25
the greatness of Kendrick Perkins, playing Center for that
43:29
Oklahoma City team, getting about 6 rebounds off the bench,
43:33
you know, getting taken out because he couldn't shoot foul
43:36
shots late in game. So, so he was really just like
43:39
kind of a, a body in there, but he was the body that we all
43:44
watched. He was the one that I told my
43:47
nephew about that I remembered years later from that wonderful
43:51
OKC team. It was Kendrick Perkins, the
43:54
leader Perk himself. You know what?
43:58
I'm hanging out with my little furry friend over here, my furry
44:01
little ball over here. And to me, I think this furry
44:06
ball is worth more than what Kendrick Perkins was on that OKC
44:11
Thunder team. Okay, honestly, I have no idea
44:17
what is going on in that man tack.
44:20
Honestly, it's unbelievable. Like he was a rotation, like he
44:24
was in there, but like. I remember him on the Celtics.
44:27
Game. I remember him on the Celtics.
44:28
I barely remember him on OKC. He was there.
44:32
It was they. I know he.
44:33
Was there? Collison and Ibaka and him were
44:35
kind of rotating it depending on how they wanted to play, but he
44:38
wasn't like a star player by any stretch of the imagination.
44:42
A leader. Why would I be listening to a
44:44
guy that averaged 2 points a game?
44:47
Honestly, basically, all right, We got one last story.
44:51
I wanted to make everyone laugh before, you know, kind of
44:54
talking about the saddest thing that happened, which was, of
44:56
course, the passing of Nick Mangold at the age of 41,
45:01
complications. I brought this up.
45:02
I, you know, didn't realize how serious it was when we talked
45:05
about in the sports minute. I think it was only three weeks
45:08
ago, not even maybe where he put out a plea on social media
45:12
looking for a kidney that he needed a transplant.
45:16
Apparently did not get it in time.
45:18
Passed away at the age of 41 from a kidney disease that he
45:21
had been fighting for apparently.
45:23
But the last, you know, decade plus since he was I think still
45:26
in the NFL. He was a seven time pro bowler,
45:29
three time all pro, including two time first team all pro
45:32
inducted in The Jets Ring of Honor in 2022.
45:35
He moved into the final 52 some odd players for the National
45:40
Football Hall of Fame. The next round is the semi
45:43
finalist cuts. Don't know if he'll make that,
45:45
but he is being considered for that currently.
45:50
As you know, he played his entire 11 year career with The
45:52
Jets. You know, I'll let you start
45:55
with this one. Arrow.
45:56
I think everyone might want to have at least a little bit to
45:58
say about Nick Mingle here when you dial it up.
46:02
I met Nick four times, maybe even 5 * 1 of the nicest,
46:08
nicest, down to earth people you'll ever meet.
46:11
Good person, kind soul, had four or five kids, very good father,
46:18
great wife. He lived his best life, one of
46:22
the greatest centers of all time.
46:23
I say all time, not just because he was a Jet.
46:27
If you look at what he has done as a professional player,
46:31
there's only a few centers in history that did what Nick
46:35
Mangold did. Now, he never won a Super Bowl
46:37
because he stayed with The Jets and The Jets are a horrible
46:40
organization, but the guy was a first round talent.
46:44
He was drafted in the same draft as Ferguson.
46:47
I remember that draft very, very well when they decided to build
46:50
around the offensive line and those two guys played
46:54
practically their whole careers together, Fairly healthy his
46:57
whole career, dominant force in the middle, one of the best
47:01
leaders you'll ever meet. Rex Ryan said it best.
47:04
There's not a bad thing you can say about this man.
47:08
And when you heard the story that he needs a kidney a couple
47:11
of weeks ago, and I know you announced that fish on your
47:14
sports minute. I thought somebody was going to
47:17
I with the money and, and all the opportunities that these
47:20
athletes have, they were going to find a kidney for him.
47:23
And unfortunately it was a lot worse than we could have
47:26
thought. And, and to hear a story like
47:28
this and then watch The Jets win their first game, you could tell
47:32
that they were playing for Nick. You you could tell they were
47:34
playing for Nick in the fourth quarter.
47:36
And you heard it from Aaron Glenn at the end of the game
47:39
when the media asked him and said, did you do this for Nick?
47:42
And he says Nick Nick was not only one of the faces of this
47:46
team in this organization, he was a great person and a great a
47:51
great a great. I forget what he said all
47:55
exactly, but he said when you when you can consider some of
47:59
the greatest players of this era and some of the greatest players
48:02
at his position of all time, you would think of Nick, Nick
48:05
Mangold. Sadly, sadly Law a sad loss and
48:10
will sadly be missed. It's just a horrible story.
48:13
I couldn't believe it when I heard it so.
48:15
Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Even I was devastated.
48:18
When you let's think about somebody that really was a heart
48:20
and soul of an offensive line for a very long time.
48:23
And I agree with you. He's easily one of the top five
48:25
centers of all time. Probably him and Jeff Saturday
48:27
were probably the two best centers that I've seen watch
48:29
play football. And he did it on a team that
48:31
like and doubled a lot of dysfunction.
48:33
But he was a remarkable leader on and off the field, very good
48:36
in the community. Everything I've heard, and this
48:38
is the most sad thing I've heard about, apparently he was having
48:40
this kind of condition. And I think towards the end of
48:43
his first year in the in the NFL and I there were not a lot of
48:46
just information on that kind of thing at the time.
48:48
So it was going on a lot longer. Him needing that specific type
48:52
of kidney transplant, that type of specific donor and hearing
48:55
that that they just couldn't get that for decades is so sad to
48:58
hear. And for somebody that really was
49:00
such a good person, like you're saying, Harold, really good with
49:03
the fans. Really good with the community.
49:05
I want to say something. Geno Smith went on social media
49:09
to Brickshaw Ferguson, every single one of the players that
49:13
played with him said that he was the heart and soul of that
49:17
organization for a significant amount of time.
49:20
Even to Brickshaw Ferguson, who was there as long as Nick Mango
49:23
cuz they were drafted in the same draft.
49:25
He said he was the heart and soul of that team.
49:27
He was a heart and soul of that offensive line.
49:30
It's a horrible loss. It 41 years old 41.
49:35
And and you were mentioning too, with the Buckeyes, too, even the
49:37
community he had over there with those Jim Tressel teams up
49:40
against the show. Bobby Carpenter posted on his
49:42
Instagram how much he was hurt by somebody, somebody losing
49:45
somebody like Mangold, who was really that good of a teammate,
49:47
really that good of a friend to everybody.
49:50
And he will definitely missed it.
49:52
Just 41 years old. First time I ever met him was at
49:55
a cigar event in Miami and he was walking around and there
50:01
were girls taking pictures and I was taking a picture of front of
50:05
a pool and I have the picture. I'll show you guys a picture.
50:08
He went behind me to take a picture with me.
50:12
He he did one of those photo drops.
50:15
I was taking a picture, photo bombs, photo bombs.
50:17
He was behind me, smiled, you know, and did one of those photo
50:21
bombs with me. That was the first time I met
50:23
Nick Mangel and I told him how big of a Jet fan I was and hung
50:28
out with him and a bunch of those complete idiots over there
50:31
at the NFL so. I would say, you know, there's
50:36
been around football and playing, I'm sure Errol, when
50:38
you played hockey is also similar.
50:40
Like sometimes you just play with somebody that you're just
50:42
like not so much like you're in awe of them, but you're just
50:45
like, wow, this guy. I want to play with this guy.
50:48
I want this guy to be my teammate.
50:49
Like this guy is awesome to play with.
50:52
I want him to be the one next to me fighting with me.
50:55
Like every story you hear about Mangled was he was like the
50:59
quintessential teammate, leader, everything if you wanted, like
51:05
the tackle is really important, right?
51:07
No ones saying we're not going to compare if he was more
51:10
important to the team than to brick a shelf, Ferguson and I.
51:12
But I will say this, being able to set the tone and have that
51:17
for a decade behind center, it's so huge for the stability of a
51:22
franchise. You don't realize how important
51:24
having that kind of a force there, which is not just like
51:27
for the Exes and OS, but for, you know, as they say, the
51:30
Jimmys and the Joes that are, you know, on the team that need
51:33
to look to somebody to try to right the ship.
51:36
I know I've watched a program right now, the New York Giants
51:39
where they're not. They don't know who to follow.
51:41
It looks like, you know, it was pretty obvious when Mangold was
51:44
there who everyone was. Following.
51:46
Just think about it. Think of all the rough things
51:48
that The Jets have been going through over the last couple of
51:50
months. Mark Sanchez getting arrested
51:52
because he's attacking an old man.
51:54
And now you lose the center that you built and and really held to
52:00
a pedestal and he dies from a kidney, you know, kidney
52:03
failure. It's a horrible, horrible story.
52:06
And my heart goes out to him and his family.
52:09
My heart goes out to his father. I met his father.
52:11
Father's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
52:13
His mom, his family. He's got a bunch of brothers and
52:17
sisters, too. His sister is like a
52:19
weightlifter. A championship.
52:21
I I think she I think she lives in the Olympics.
52:24
Yeah. Olympic champion too.
52:26
So it's a horrible, horrible story.
52:28
It really is. It really is horrible.
52:31
All right. And that's dial it up,
52:33
everybody. All right, that's it for a show.
52:36
Ladies and gentlemen, it went a little too late.
52:38
I know there was a lot of craziness on the show tonight,
52:40
but you know, it happens. I am a little tired, what can I
52:44
say? And you know, the beginning of
52:46
the shows could be a little crazy.
52:48
And, you know, my shot, my heart goes out to the people that deal
52:52
with me sometimes. I don't know what to say
52:55
whatever anyways, anyways, everybody knows who I'm talking
52:59
about and I apologize everybody thank you to all the fans on
